THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette.) SINDE PRIZE MONEY.—The rolls of the unclaimed shares of the officers and men of the 41st Regiment have been received from Bangal at the East India House, and it is to be hoped that the distribution ay. to the several claimants will take place without del The regiment was under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Booth, whose share amounts to 977/. 12s. Bd.; the Majors, 6511. 15s. each ; the Captains, 3251. 17s. 6d. each ; the Lieutenants, the Adjutants, the Ensigns, and Assistant -Surgeons, 1621. 18s. 91 each ; the Paymaster and Surgeon, 3251. 17s. 61. each ; the Sergeant-Major and Quartermaster -Sergeant, Si. 2s. 11d. each ; the Sergeants, Si. Bs. 7d. each ; the rank and File and Drummers 21. 14s. each. Total amou nt due to the Corps, 8,7 2 2 1 . 14s. DUBLIN GARRISON.—A squadron of cavalry and four companies of artillery, are held in readiness to proceed to the Belfast district in aid of the civil power at the Orange procession on the sth of November. The summer trousers for the troops for next year are to be similar to those used in the present year, but two or three regiments are to wear the new pat tern on trial. The Master General of the Ordnance has issued directions to the Deputy Adjutant -General at Wool wich, to cause two brass field-pieces and two 6-inch howitzers, captured from the enemy at the battle of Waterloo, to be forwarded forthwith to the Royal Military Hospital at Chelsea, to be placed in the grounds of that establishment. THE NAVAL APPRENTICES.—In consequence of the system of educating, &c., of the naval apprentices in her Majesty's ship Victory, and her tender Rolla, and her Majesty's ship Impregnablw, with her tender Nautilus, proving to be very satisfactory, they are ordered to be completed again to 150, having lately been reduced to 90. We are glad to see this. Commander Shadwell, R.N., son of the Vice-Chan cellor of England, is ordered by the Admiralty to hold himself in readiness to commission her Majesty's steam sloop Hecate, at Portsmouth, in at few days for particular and confidential service. Commander Shadwell possesses very impressive talents as an as tronomer, and took an active part in a marine survey not long since in the East Indies. It is gratifying to see such officers obtain employment. DEPOSIT IN STEAM BOILERS.—Mr. Armstrong's apparatus for preventing deposit in steam boilers hav ing been tried at Woolwich, and pronounced in the opinion of the officers of the establishment to have failed, the Admiralty have directed its removal. DOCKYARD APPRENTICES.-The Admiralty have explained, with reference to their Circular of the 21st of June last, with regard to making working tools in the establishment, that it was not intended to apply to apprentices making tools for their own use. THE ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET —The decease of Sir James Whitshed, Bart., G.C,B , is, we regret to state, hourly expected. He has been gradually sinking daring the past week. We believe this gal lant and highly distinguished Admiral is in the 88th year of his age. He was made a captain nearly 70 years ago at least, having been made a post captain at 18 years of age. TOWN MAJOR or DUBLIN.. Brevet-Major Mylius, 26:h Regiment, we have reason to believe, will be the successful candidate for the situation of Town Major of Dublin. SHIPS READY FOR THE PENDANT.—The following ships are ready for immediate commissioning at Devonport :—Thunderer, 84, Belleisle, troop two - decker, Calliope, '2B, Arachne, 18, Racehorse, 14, and Harlequin, 12. The above are in addition to the ad vanced steam-vessels Gladiator, Sampson, Virago, Salamander, Jackal, &c. TETE BREVET AND THE ROYAL MARINES.—By some accident the brevet promotion of Captain John's, R.M , of H.M.S. Ganges,to the rank of Major, has not appeared in the London Gazette during this week. We have reason to believe that the omission will be reetileil on Tuesday or Friday next, as the brevet promotion has been made. We are sorry to hear that Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, G.O B. G.C.M.G., is seriously indis posed. Although this gallant and distinguished offi cer (now the third on the list of Admirals) is in the 80th year of his age, he visited some of his friends in the early part of the week, at Cork, comparatively hale and hearty. Captain William Castle, Paymaster of the Cavalry depo: at Maidstone, is a candidate for the post o' Mister of the Ceremonies at Bath, vice General Jervis. THE ROYAL SOVEREIGN CONDEMNED AT LAST. — The Royal Sovereign yacht, for so many years at Pembroke, is condemned at last, and is actually ordered to be taken to pieces, and her name as a yacht to be removed from the Navy List. Her majestic name, however, is being perpetuated in the navy by a 120-gun ship building at Pembroke. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) The mining share market continues in much the same position as last week. AMr demand for shares in leading mines is maintained, and the business actu ally transacted appears, on the aggregate, an average amount. West Buller, South Frances, East Wheal Rose, Bedford, Trehane, &c., have been in request during the week. North Pools are sought for. The lode in the shaft is much improved, and the mine generally_ never looted bett3r. West Setons are also in request, the improvements continuing in the 55 fin. level, at pre sent worth 50/. per fin. Stray Park and East Pool are represented to have improved in the discoveries recently reported. In Camborne Consol, a valuable discovery has been made in the 20 fathom level, from whence some stones of silver ores have been taken. We have seen so ne of the specimens having a regular vein of native silver running through them. Two aAsays has been made, which give respectively 1,275 ounces and 1,0471 ounces to the ton of ore. Tte specimens we have seen are far richer. A demand for shires has been the result. . In Wheal Tremayne a great improvement has been made ; in one level the lode is stated to he worth 001. per fathom. A profit of 5001. was made during the last two month, and the probability is that an increase will be made. Ilolmhush is stated to havo considerably improved in the Flap jack lode, now producing 8 tons of ore to the fathom. West Wheal Providence shares have been done at an advance, arising from an improvement in the ad joining mine of Wheal Tremayne; but a reaction has taken place. At a meeting of Wheal Friendship adventurers, held on Thursday, a dividend of 101. per share was declared, being the third this year. West Buller paid a dividend of 101. per share at the quarterly meeting, held on the 16th, and the prospects are represented as considerably improved ; the dividends in future will be bi-monthly. Shares in the following mines have changed hands since our last :—Devon Great ,Cocsols, East Wheal Rose, Trehane, South Basset, Stray Park, Callington, West Providence, South Frances, Holmbush, Trelawny, Kingsett and Bedford, Tincroft, Camborne Consols, Condurrow, Tamar Consols, East Tamar, Bedford, Mendip Hills, Tremayne, South Tamar, West Treasury, East Pool, &c. Tregorden Mine account, for the months of July and August, was held on the 15th inst. ; the state ment of show a balance of 2491. 17s. 4d. against the adventurers, and a call of 104. per share was made. The agent's report of the mine is very encouraging, and the prospects far more cheering than at the last account. In the 20 fin. level the lode has improved, and the 12 fm. level more than pays for driving, leaving profitable backs for stoping ; the stopes alone will give about 4f tons of very rich ore per month; and as an improvement is anticipated in the 20 fin. level the mine will then be in a profitable position. At the West Wheal Providence quarterly account, there appeared a profit of 5291. 15s. 4d., which, with balance from last account, allowed a dividend of 21. per share, carrying to credit a balance of 52/. 7s. 7d. The prospects of the mines are considered more en couraging by an important discovery in Wheal Tre mayne, which immediately adjoins this sett. East Pool account, for August and September, showed a loss of 2101. An important discovery has been made above the 16 fm. level—the lode being worth about 40/. per fathom. The other parts of the mine are represented as progressing, without any par ticular change. in foreign mines there have been some considerable transactions, the chief business having been in United Mexicans, which have advanced, St. John del Rey, Copiapo, Imperial Brazilian, National Brazilian, Gua dalcanal, &c. Letters from the Linares Silver-Lead Mines have been received, and report the progress of the opera tions, and the working of the engine in a satisfactory manner. We hope shortly to be enabled to report something more gratifying from deeper levels. St. John del Rey advices are to the 18th August; the profits for the month of July are shown at 3,1041. 12;. 8d • - - The National Brazilian advices are to th- 221 Au2-ust. The produce from coe ,„ s, from th e 4th to the 13 - h of Augus t, is mks. 7 1 2 71 ; and ftwo, the agent's report of the Cuiaba mines, the prospect and general appearance of the lode favours the presump. tion, tint some good ground will shortly be openea at Le Page's stopes. The lode in Hamilton's stopes, at Cocaes, being now clear of the cross-course. pre • sents appearances of an improvement, inasmuch that the lode is coming more together, similar to where, on the eastern side of the cross-course , it w as found rich and productive. The United Mexican letters are to the 6 t h Se p t., which represent a great improvement in the mine of Reyes; but the most important feature is, that the new mine of Promontorio, which adjoins the Rayas property, was promising to surpass in productive ness the workings in that celebrated mine. A con- THE SUN, I ducta i 3 expected to leave for the coast in October, by which a remittance H of from 30,000 dolls. to 40.000 < dolls. will he forwarded' for Alipment to the directors. The Bolanos letters, t o the 31 of September, give the general operations for the m.)nth of August. 1 The Celestine and La G range Mines made a profit , of 1,206 6 7 dolls., and El Bote sustained a loss of 167 2 7 dolls. WALLA.CHIA. The Presse publishes the following letter from Constantinople, Bth inst.:--" No doubt now exists of the preparations which the Russians are now making in Moldavia and Wallachia. It was a thing deter mined on by Russia, the affair of the extradition was merely a pretext, and it now turns out that the en trance into Moldo-Wallachia was with a view to the ultimate possession of those provinces. Since the rupture of relations with the Russian mission, the conduct of the Russians in Wallachia has completely changed; the soldiers and officers treat the narks with the greatest contempt, and address to them provocations and bravados. From all the arrange ments made and the movements ordered for the corps of General Luders, there is no doubt that even before the winter the Russian troops will cross the Danube near Issatcha ; they will establish themselves in the plain of Dobrecza, and will push forward as far a 4 Constendjv, in order to have a pert at their disposal for obtaining supplies. This will be a preparatory campaign, which will be carried still further in the spring. Russia, while making these preparations for war on the Ottoman territory, will delay the nego tiations, in order to gain time, reserving to herself the power to break them off whenever it may suit her purpose. Sir Stratford Canning is authorised to dis , pose of the fleet, commanded by Admiral Parker, as he may think necessary. A courier, which has ar rived from Vienna, has, it is said, decided the Aus trian Internuncio to leave Constantinople. His de parture, however, cannot be considered as a proof of a definitive rupture, as he long since tendered his resignation." THE TRIAL OF THE MANNINGS. MR. SERGEANT WILKINS TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. . Sia,—An important omission occurs in the Times report of the blannings' trial, which at the first blush would almost seem to have bren designed. It states that the Attorney - General, in his ri ply, said that he thought that Mr. Ballantine was justified in com plaining of the course that had been adopted by the Learned Sergeant, whereas the Attorney-General distinctly said that Mr. Ballantine was NOT justified. Every other daily journal has correctly reported the passage. I am, Sir, yours, &c 9 ONE WHO WAS PRESENT AT THE TRIAL. [Doubtless the little negative escaped the ear of the Times' reporter.—En. Sun] ADMIRALS. CAPTAINS, and GENERALS for the NEXT ONE HUNDRED YEARS. England has a capital naval and military stock. She has 150 Admirals, and only 15 of them are employed. What a notion it must give a foreigner of the unbounded wealth of our country, when he considers that we can afford to keep 135 Admirals merely to help 15 others to do their work ! This mon ster drove of ; Hyde Park Drakes—these 135 Nelsons on horseback—must be quite happy to take a turn °Pea sionally at the wheel of some Chelsea steamer, if simply to keep their hands in. We should not much wonder if one bought the berth of Captain on board the half penny Moonshine; if another had his flag flying from the stays of the Lass of Richmond; whilst every Waterman that steams to Greenwich or Woolwich, will probably have either a Red, or a Blue, or a Yellow Admiral on its paddle-box, shouting as lively as possible, "Ease 'er !" "Stop 'er !" They must do something to keep up their nautical knowledge, or else when they are ordered to take the command of a squadron, they will know less about a ship than even Lord John Russell or the Earl of Ellenborough. But if we have an ocean of Admirals, with only a Trafalgar-square basin to put them in, we have like wise a whole parkful of captains, and nothing but chsrity boys to give them to lead to victory. Tne ignorant reader, who has no notion of the im mense resources of his country, will scarcely believe that we possess no less than 780 captains. He pro bably did not think there were so many in the whole world, but whilst he is rather pleased to learn that England is so richly provided with captains, he can not help wondering how she can want such a large number. His astonishment is perfectly natural, and we should know better than to laugh at it, for Eng land does not want 780 captains any more than she wants 780 prime ministers, and so she very wisely employs only as many as she wants, and pays the remainder for ravaging the ball-rooms and laying waste all the young ladies' hearts, or doing anything they please—which liberal privilege the captains generally avail themselves of. England, therefore, only employs 180 captains, and as she does not want the other 600, they are allowed to keep company with the 135 admirals, who are in a similar predicament to themselves, and have nothing to do, and are only kept in for fear there should be something for them to do at some time or other. The same generosity is shown by our economical Government to our brave generals, for, whilst we have 340 generals, we have only 120 regiments, so that every regiment has nearly three generals a-piece. We have admirals, without ships; captains, without soldiers; and generals, without regiments ; but this, far from being a waste, is the strictest economy, and is easily explained by the simple fact, that it is much easier to build a ship than to make an admiral; and that it is the simplest thing in the world to enlist a soldier and raise a regi ment, but the great difficulty is to find captains and a general for them.—Punch.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 22. —Up, and to Church, toge ther with my Wife, to see Pall Harley married this Morning to Dick Baker; on both Sides mighty genteel People, and their Guests, all except Our selveq, such as they do call Carriage-Company. Pall, in a Dress of White Satin, and Orange Flowers in her II Lir, very pretty and demure, and Dick, wearing a Sky Blue Coat, Crimson Velvet Waistcoat, Yellow Moleskin Trousers, and Japanned Boots, with Lavender Kid Gloves, and a Carbuncle in his Shirt Front, a great Buck. Dick and every Man of us with great White Favours at our Breasts, mighty conspicuous and, methought, absurd; the Things serving neither for Use nor Ornament. But to see ha w gran d were old fat Mr. Harley and Mr. B -.lcer, and hlw more grand were their fat Wives, and how fine and serious they looked and how high they carried their Noses! And when the Ring was put on Pall's Finger (Dick first having fumbled for it in the wrong Pocket), her Mother did weep, and, falli ng for support on Mr. Harley, nigh overthrew him But the pretty modest Bridesmaids did m os t o f a ll ta k e me, which my Wife observing, I saw, did trouble her. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER SO, 180. The Ceremony over, and the Fees paid, and the Bride kissed by some of the old Gentlemen, we to old Harley's to Breakfast, where what Wiggyns do call a Grand Spread, very fine both for Show and Meats, every Dish ornamented with Flowers and Gim cracks, the cold Chickens trimmed with Itibands, and the Bride-Cake, having upon it Wax Cupids and Tur tle-Doves, was pretty. So down we sat, Dick stiff and sheepish, and Pall also, shamefaced, and trying to hide her Blushes with a Nosegay. Pall's Mother in Tears, and her Father solemn, and the Bridesmaids mostly bashful, but a little black one that sate by me very merry, and I did by-and-bye pull Crackers with her, till my Wife suddenly thrust a Pin into my Arm, to the Quick. The Company first silent, till a Friend of the young Pair, who did say that he had known them both from Babies, did propose their Health in a pretty pathetic but eonfused Speech, and, breaking down in the Midst of a Sentence, conclude, by wishing them long Life and Happi ness, with great Applause. Then the Bride Groom to return biaa:.ks, but, perplexed with his Pro nouns, obliged to stop short too, but, he said, over come by his Feelings. The Champagne flowing, we soon merrier, especially an old Uncle of Dick's who began to make Jokes, which did trouble the Bride an I Bride-Groom. But they presently, with much Crying and Kissing and sluicing of Hands, away in a Coach-and-Four, amid the Cheering of the Crowd in the Street and the Boys shouting to behold the fine Equipage ; and 3ervabts and old Women looking on from the opposite Windows. We eating and drinking with great Delight till late in the Afternoon, but at last broke up, the Multitude saluting us each as we stepped into the street, and the Policeman and Beadle that were guarding the Door in great State touching their Hats. A grand Marriage Braaktast do give a brave Fred to the Mob, in Show, and to the Company in Eating and Drinking, and is great Fun to all but those most concerned. But to think what a Fuss is made about most Marriages, and how little Reason for it is shown by most People's married Life!— , Punch. the Learned Judge and jury by whom the Man ning 3 were tried, as well as the public at large.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. FRIDAY NIGHT.—The only Derby bets laid this even ing were 1,000 to 50 agst Mildew, and 25 to 1 to three or four hundred pounds agst Deicoon. 2,000 to 20 was laid agst Kennington for the Chester Cup. The following very important rule was made this evening by the committee of the subscription-room:— Resolved by the Committee of the Public Subscrip tion-rooni,Newmarket— "That, in order to induce a speedy settlement of the accounts, and to prevent persons who are defaulters on the turf from taking advantage of the lapse of time which by the death of their creditors may enable them to come forward and demand payment of their debtors, without having to pay the sums they originally owed— it is the opinion of this Committee that the following ule is necessary :— " That a person in default shall at any period within two years from the date of his defalcation be at liberty, after having settled with his creditors, to demand the sum due to him from his debtors, but that after the ex piration of two years from the date of his defalcation, though he may, by settling with his creditors, be per mitted to resume the privileges of the turf, he shall have forfeited all claim upon the persons indebted to him, who shall thenceforth be absolved from their liabilities to the said defaulter.

With the Selling Handicap terminated a meeting which, notwithstanding the absence of that match making spirit fur which the '° Hay and Straw" week has always been remarkable, has been one of the busiest, best attended, and most exciting known for many seasons; had the stables been healthy, there is little doubt that it would have run into a second week. The weather to-day, until after the first four or five races, was showery. and the mist so thick that it was impossi ble to time them; during the remainder of the afternoon it was extremely fine. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. It is intended to relieve the vessels serving on the coast of Africa station at shorter periods than hitherto. They are not in future to run more than two years. The Dolphin, 3, brigantine, Lieut. the Hon. R. F. Boyle, just arrived from the coast, has been under two years and two months in commission, and the Britomart, 8, Commander Chamberlain, expected home next month, will have been under two years and a half in commission. It is reported that the master ropemaker of Devon port dockyard is about to be superannuated. He is one of the best practical ropemakers in the service, and although on the wrong side of sixty, from what we could see a short time since, was equally as efficient as his first foreman. The Admiralty will lose a good and now a very valuable servant if they superannuate him. The naval apprentices at the Forts have been ma terially reduced by drafts to the ships commissioned, and their vacancies are now ordered to be filled up to 150 in each tender at Portsmouth and Devonport. There are about five candidates for one vacancy. Lieut. George Bary (1841) died October 12, at Newton Houie, county Kildare, in the 59:h year of his age. He had been on full pay for 20 years during the war. He entered the navy June 9, 1803, on board the Colossus, 74. He served in the Canopus, 80, on the Mediterranean station ; and on October 26, 1809, contributed to the destruction of the French line-of battle ships Robuste and Lion. He was promoted Jan. 11, 1814, into the Jasper, 18, Captain George Edward Watts, and after an intermediate and very active em ployment in the Chesapeake, returned home in the summer of 1814. Lieut. Charles Shortt (1821), of the coast guard station of Long Island, died a few days since. VOLUNTEERS FOR THE NAVY.—The Stromboli, 6, steam sloop, Commander Lord A. Beauclerk, has gone to Queenstown for volunteer seamen. The Shearwater, 3, steam-vessel Lieutenant-Commander Tumour, has gone to Devonport from Queenstown with seamen volunteers for the Ganges. The Lucifer, steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander Lloyd, is at Bristol, raising seamen. The Trident, steam-vessel, Lieut. Commander Risk, is at Liverpool, raising men ; an I the Dasher, steam vessel, Lieut. Commander Parks, has been at Hull and Yarmouth for a like purpose._ _ - THE STEAM NAVAL RESERVE.—The following steam-vessels are ordered to be expedited in their building and launching, and in their fittings of ma chinery, hull and rigging, for reserve or commission. Building or converting :—The Horatio, screw frigate, converting, and Miranda sloop, at Sheerness ; the Leopard, steam frigate, at Deptford; and the Tiger, steam• frigate, at Chatham. To be expedited in fit ting, &c.—Amphion, 30. auxiliary screw, at Sheer ness, will be ready by 16th of November, the Vulture, 6, frigate, will be ready for removal to Portsmouth by the Ist of November, at Sheerness; Devastation, sloop (twelve months in hand), at Portsmouth; Niger, screw-sloop ( for commission) ; Retribution, frigate, and Desperate, screw-sloop, at Woolwich; Buzzard, (paddle) and Maeicienne (screw), sloops, Deptford and East India Dock. The Greenock, iron screw steam-frigate, at Ureenock, now nearly completed, is ordered to be inspected and reported upon, preparatory to removal to Devonport, and the Rhadamnanthus, steam-transport, is ordered to be kept ready for im mediate service at Sheerness. Mr. Donovan, a supernumerary gunner of Chatham ordinary, and who was in charge of the Latona, 42, was tried by court-martial on Wednesday, on a charge of drunkenness, preferred against him by Lieutenant James Carter, and sentenced to be dismissed the service. The Firebrand, 6, s t eam -f r i ga t e , Captain Knox, will be paid at Portsmouth, and will proceed to Devonport, where she will be joined by the Spiteful, 6, steam sloop, Commander Carmichael, and both will proceed to Malta, to be under the orders of Sir Wil liam Parker, relieving the Bulldog and Rosamond steam. sloops. The Cuckoo steam vessel, Commander Dumaresq, is ordered from Jersey to Portsmouth, with a detach ment of troops. The Dasher steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander Parks, is ordered to have new boilers prepared for her at Woolwich. The Rocket, old iron steamer, is ordered from Sheerness to Woolwich, to be surveyed by the master shipwright and chief engineer. The Volcano steam-vessel, recently paid off at Sheerness, is ordered to 'Woolwich, on 20th Novem ber, to be surveyed. The Britannia, 120, is to be made efficient for ser vice as economically as possible, at Portsmouth. if no defects are visible the shipwrights are not to make any by splitting, and tearing, and breaking, as is usually the case. The Rodney, 92, is to be considered as an advanced ship at Portsmouth, and is to have everything pre pared accordingly, instead of Colussus, 80. The Ganges, 84, Captain Smith, C. 8., the Seagull packet-brig, and the Conflict screw steam sloop, Commander Drake, were completed by the dockyard at Devonport on Saturday. The Penguin, 6, packet-brie, Lieut.-Commander Leslie, arrived at Devonport on Friday, to be re- fitted. The Andromache and Tyne, corvette, now that they are no longer wanted in the service to receive cholera patients, are ordered to be taken to harbour moorings up Hamoaze. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY AFTERNOON.—Wind moderate breeze, with mild cloudy weather. The London, East Indiaman, arrived from London yes terday, bound to Madras. She remains to embark passengers and stock. THE BERMONDSEY MURDER Immediately after the sentence of death had been pronounced on Friday the Mannings were taken back to Newgate, previous to their removal to Hersemon - ger lane. The violet ice of the female prisoner became still greater when she left the dock, and rose to such a height that she poured dreadful imprecations upon all aroun I her. She was offered refreshment, but furiously refused to take any, and bitterly inveighed against her legal adviser, against the jury that had condemned her, and against England generally. The terrible excitement under which she laboured may be conceived from the oath which she frequently uttered —" Damnation seize you all !" When a handcuff was first placed on her wrist, her rage and despair knew no bounds ; and she shook her clenched fists in the faces of the officers. Manning, on the other hand, exhibited the same submissive and dejected manner ae during bis trial. At half-past seven o'clock they were both removed in separate cabs from New gate to Horsemonger-lane Gaol. While in the cab Airs. Manning's mood underwent a singular change ; ,he joked about the manacle which bound her to one of her keepers, and bade fare well to Newgate quite in the Jack Sheppard style. Reverting to the scene in the dock immediately before her removal, she said, " I showed them resolution, did I not ?" She also spoke of her husband, saying, "I had plenty of op portunity to speak to him in the gaol and during the trial, but I would not. He did not speak to me, thank God, the unmanly wretch," and suiting the action to the last words, she kicked the opposite seat of the cab contemptuously with her foot. An adver rising van passed, upon which enormous placards were displayed, announcing a full report of the trial in some weekly journal. This attracted the wretched woman's eye, and again for a short time roused her furious passions. On arriving at Horsemonger-lane gaol, she was conducted to the condemned cell, and on entering it burst into a flood of tears, sobbing and stamping the floor in the wild agony of mind which she endured. During the early part of Friday night her rest was broken and uneasy, but towards morning she slept soundly, and on rising ate a hearty breakfast. The chaplain of the pris an waited on her soon after eight o'clock, but she refused to see him, and asserted that she had been unjustly convicted. Manning, while he has not given way to violence of conduct like his wife, appears to delude himself with the idea that his life may yet be spared. On Saturday he had an inter view with the Rev. Mr. Roe, the gaol chaplain, and it is rumoured that he has made a full confession of his crime. Yesterday afternoon Captain Williams, one of the Inspectors of Prisons, accompanied by Mr. Keene, the Governor, and Mr. Moore, his deputy, visited both the prisoners, and they appeared to be tray some symptoms of contrition, and to be awaken ing to a sense of their awful situation. Manning en• tered freely into conversation, and seemed to be in good spirits at the time. The execution will probably take place on the 12th of November (this day fortnight), for it is not at all likely that, after the unanimous adverse decision of the three judges, any delay will arise on the applica tion of Mrs Manuing's counsel for a jury "de medietate Zinc use." It was rumoured yesterday that Manning had ins structed his counsel to assert, in addition to what he he had before stated as to the manner in which the murder was committed, that after his wife had shot O'Connor upon the staircase, she came up to him with a loaded pistol in her hand, and exclaimed, " Now I have shot him, come down stairs and help me to bury him, or I will shoot you." The Leaned Counsel, it would appear, did not place any reliance upon the statement, and he made no allusion respect- ing it to the jury. The following letter, which led to the renewal of the intimacy between the prisoner Maria Manning and the murdered man, may prove interesting : " Customs, St. Ketharine's Thicks, June 11, 1847. " My dear Mrs. ---, Not knowing your real name, I have addressed this note as usual. I hope it will find you. I cannot describe to you my feelings, and what I suffered since I saw you last evening. If you were to know half you would have compassion for me, if I was the greatest enemy you ever had. I have spent a soli tary and dreary winter, and a dull and melancholy spring, in anticipation of having a jovial and pleasant autumn. I had given up going into all society, and cut he acquaintance of .every friend I had, on your account, being anxious to economize and secure for ourselves the ineaes of making us happy and comfortable the rest of our lives. I had my month's leave of absence settled to commence on the 6th of August, when I thought you might be returning from the Continent, and intended to get married on the 7th, leave London for Boulogne on the Bth, and there spend the honey-month; but, alas, all these arrangements are now blighted. You have these comforts now that your heart can wish for, and lam glad of it. For poor me there are none of these consolations left, but the sad reflection of being disappointed. Ah, Maria, you have now acted cruel to me; why not, like a true professor of what you avo wed, write and say what you intended before you acted so? —then, at the risk of losing my situation,' I would go every step to Erskine House, and get married to the only being on the face of God's earth who could make me happy; and Maria, dear, if you could only read the feelings of my heart, you would not do as you did. However, it is too late to be speaking of these things now. We must be reconciled, with the will of God, and hope all things are regulated by Him for a wise and benevolent purpose. Enough now of this sad and melancholy affair—for so it is to me. However, I hope we will always entertain the same kindly feelings towards each other that is due to old friends. I can speak for myself, and am sure I will. When shall I have the pleasure of seeing you here? Bring your husband and any others you like. I will be able to show them the docks and the vaults, but mind, ladies are nut admitted into the ►aults after one o'clock. I wish you would come soon. There is a ship from China along side my station in the docks—the Viscount Saudon. She leaves on Sunday. Ttiere are three Chinese on board, and it would be a novelty for you to see them with their long tails. You said you would call on me on Sunday. I wish you would. If you do, *rite and say what time, that I may be sure to meet you. You may be able to give some explanation in the matter, which may smooth it down a little. I wish I could acquit you of infiielity on the occasion. I hope that the blessing of God may rest on all your proceedings, and believe me, under any circumstances, till death, yours very affectionately, "PATRICK O'CoNNOK" This letter was addressed, " Miss Maria Roux, care of L ady Blantyre, Sutherland House, St. James's." LATEST PARTICULARS. Yesterday morning, from as early as eight o'clock, the Reverend Chaplain was engaged in giving reli gious consolation to each of the wretched convicts, and continued till the hour appointed for Divine service. The Mannings then repaired to the chapel, and were, together with Jordan, who is also sentenced to death for the attempted murder in Dulwich-wood, placed in the section appropriated for condemned prisoners. In addition to the debtors, criminal pri soners, and officers of the gaol, who formed the con gregation, there were also present Captain Williams, the Government inspector of gaols, Mr. Paynter, the magistrate of the•Wandsworth Police-court, and other gentlemen. The R,-v. Mr. Roe delivered a most eloqu€nt and impressive sermon, taking his text from the Gist Psalm, " If Ethiopia stre:cheth forth her hands," &c. Before the Litany the chaplain said , " The prayers of this congregation are desired for those who are condemned to die." On the conclusion of the service the wretched con victs again received the spiritual consolations of the reverend chaplain until nearly four o'clock, during which it is understood that he received some impor tant communications from both the Mannings, but the nature of which is not at present allowed to trans pire—the reverend gentleman, from consei.-ntious feelings, believing that the communications were strictly confidential, and should not be disclosed while the parties are living. It is, however, generally believed that they are of a nature calculated to satisfy zitsle OP SCOTTISH COMPANIES' PRICES Dividend Amount Name of Company. per of Paid. Price. Annum.

This is the fifth circle as yet wholly uncovered; two others are partially so, and thus only two will be lost out of the nine which originally formed t his splendid room. The form and design of the floor are now made clear. It consisted of nine medallions of n early five feet diameter each; the four at the corners containing bold m eter each; heads, typical of the four seasons, of which three are now visible. 'file circles between them contain his torical tableaux, whilst the cent re is occupisd by a piece of art of a very superior ch aracter. Outside the circles is a remarkably handsome border of rather more than five feet in width. The pavement is being removed (it being now in the middle of a street), aids many inserest • ing facts connected with these reman of Romano- British art are daily brought to light.

The Hastings, 72, Captain Morgan, flag of Rear- Admiral Sir Francis Collier, C. 8., K.C.H., was at Singapore on the 7th ult., together with the Meander, 44, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel. The flag-ship was very healthy, and had not lost one man since she heft England. Sir Francis Collier, however, is, we regret to add, laid up on shore at the house of Colonel Butterworth, the Governor of Singapore; he is still suffering severely from paralysis, and it is understood to be very doubtful how far he is in a condition to carry on the duties of the command•in-chief on the station in the emergency which appears to be ap proaching. The Hastings will sail on the 10th of September for China. The Meander has received her orders for Port Essington, Sydney, and Tahiti on the homeward route, and will be in England with a large freight about July, 1851, " certainly not before," says our letter. The following is a letter from Whampoa, of the latest date : _ " Of course you will have heard of the sad fate of Senhor Amaral, the Governor of Macao. At all events the story is short as it is melancholy. I shall give it to you here :—On the evening of the 22nd of August he and his Aide-de-Camp went out for a ride. They had not got to the barracks, when they were met by about 20 Chinamen, who appear to have been on the look out for him. He was shot in two places, one bullet went through the breast ; they cut off his head and arm,'which they took with them on board some boats, and went, it is said, direct to Canton. The Aide-de-Camp was wounded, but escaped with his life. Nothing has since been heard of the assassins. Mr. Bonham has addressed a letter to Seu on the subject, but, of course, he will know nothing of it. It is said here that Mr. Bonham was for some time past aware that a reward had been offered by the Mandarins for Amaral's head, and that he was often cautioned against exposing himself. He was ob noxious to the Chinese on several accounts, and lately in making a new road he had it cut through one of their burial places. Her Majesty's ship Amazon went over in tow of the Medea as soon as the news arrived, merely with a view to protecting our own people if necessary. It is a great pity that the scoundrels are likely to escape with impunity. The Portuguese are able to do nothing of themselves, and those who are would rather not." _ _ • Lieutenant Nicholson, of the Mariner, 16, has in valided home overland. - _ Messrs. Greig and Ferguson, midshipmen of the Hastings, are appointed to the Albatross. The Eurydice, 24, Captain Talavera Anson, is hourly expected at this port from the Cape of Good Hope, and will be paid off here. Woox.wicn, Ocr. 28.—The Firebrand steam frigate, Captain T. 0. Knox, left Woolwich yesterday morning, at 6 o'clock, for Portsmouth, Plymouth, and the Mediterranean. In addition to the 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 25 privates of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, who embarked at this port, she is to take out others from the Portsmouth and Plymouth divisions, making in all about 100 men, to augment the number of Royal Marines in the vessels of the Mediterranean. One sergeant and 12 privates of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines arrived at head quarters here on Thursday last, from Plymouth, having been paid off from the Trident steam-vessel. HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION, BROMPTON.—The new chapel in connexion with this valuable charity appears to be proceeding in a manner alike creditable to the architect and the builders as satisfactory to the do• nor of so invaluable a gift. The whole of the building, with its approaches, it is expected will be roofed before the winter sets in. When edepleted, accommodation for the observance of Divine service will be available for upwards of 200 in-patients. In reference to the final completion of the hospital, several meetings have re cently been held by the building committee, and the most cheering prospects are entertained for the speedy consummation of this truly national undertaking. GERMAN HOSPITAL, DALSTON. Yesterday (Sunday) morning a sermon in aid of this most useful charity was delivered at the church of St. Margaret's Fenchurch-street, by the Rev. Charles Day, L.L.8., vicar of Muckling, Essex. Daring a most impressive and eloquent discourse the Rev. Gentleman warmly alluded to the utility and necessity of the charity. A collection was made by the vice-presidents at the church doors, to the amount of 454 LONDON JOIN' Name of Company. INSURANCE C Name of Company. Dividend per Annum. Paid.

For oatmeal a moderate consumptive demand has been experienced without change in prices. The imports from Ireland into Liver pool continue to increase, and are this week on a liberal scale; but coastwise or from abroad the arrivals are very light. Our market this morning was exceedingly lan guid, and wheat receded 2d to 3d per 701 b. Flour (ex cept select parcels of extra superfine quality, which command our extreme quotation) was likewise freely “ifered at a reduction of is per sack, and lower descrip tions even more, without leading to business beyond a very limited amount. Oats must be noted is per 451 b cheap , r; but oatmeal, though not in lively request, sup ported the currency of this day se'nnight. _ COLCHESTER, OCT. 27.—The markets of the district have this week generally declined for wheat. At our exchange to-day the quotations were lowered 2s, white wheat being 40s to 50s; red, 40s to 465. At Chelmsford yesterday the decline was is to 2s; white wheat, 45s to 50s; red, 38s to 445. There was a large supply of malting barley, the quotations for which were lowered Is per quarter, the best being 29s to 325; grinding, 23a to 255. Other grain maintained late prices. In Suffolk the markets have suffered a similar reduction. At Woodbridge wheat declined is to 2s, and was extremely heavy at that rate. Barley was 2s lower. At Bury and at Stowmarket the trade waa dull, and late prices gave way. ABIRDEZW, OCT. 26.—Grain—Oats 14s Od to 16s 04, 401 b per bushel; oats, new. 14s Od to 15s; foreign oats, 141 6d to 15s 6d per qr. ; barley, 22s to 235, 521bs per bushel ; bear, 19s to 20s, 52Ibs per bushel ; wheat, 40s to 45s ; oatmeal, 12s 6d to 13s ad per boll ; flour, 355 to 38s per sack.

Coss, OCT. 26.—We have but a few arrivals of foreign grain to report. The receipts of that of home growth for the week are:—Wheat, 2,573 barrels at 16s to 21s 6d per barrel ; barley, 6.980 barrels at 68 6d to Ils 63 per barrel; oats, 10,564 barrels at 7s 6d to 9s 6d per barrel. Owing to the depressed advices from Mark Lane, the advance established on wheat last week has been lost, during the last day or two. In prepared or foreign wheat we have had literally nothing doing. Prime malting barley fully supports late rates, while grinding samples also meet purchasers at last week's quotations. In prepared barley we have little passing, and we must quote the trade in the article dull. Oats which were higher in the early part of the week, have, during the la.t day or two, given way slightly in value, but the alteration is scarcely quotable. In prepared oats we have no transactions to report, the pretensions of holders operating to check business. The terms they ask are 8s 9d to gs pt-r barrel, free on board; a price which would scarcely leave any margin for profit to the shipper. We continue to meet a steady consumptive demand for approved brands of fine flour, while coarse qualities still meet a free sale at full prices. Indian corn is a very dull sale, in fact the business doing in t h e article is on the most restricted and retail scale. This may arise from the fact that potatoes are mire favourably spoken oF, and that a very' general feeling of confidence as to their keep ing qualities is beginning to arise in the minds of tho e most conversant with, and interested in the matter. Indian meal continues totally neglected. Flour—First 13s Od to 14s Od ; extra 15s N ; seconds, 12s to 123 64 ; households 98 to Ils; thirds, 6s to 7s per cw t.
