A ; r 4 utx ton Ito* SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. ITALY. The Statuto of - Florence states from Rome, 21st ult., that the Papal motu proprio and amnesty were ,posted up a second time at Rome on that day, and were again defiled with mud ; and in several places with blood.—lt is generally understood at Florence that the Grand Duke of Tuscany intends granting an ample amnesty. The Riforma of Lucca has the following from Rome, 21st ult. :—" The attitude of the French military authority is barely expectant. It awaits orders from Paris, but disapproves de facto the measures ordered by the Papal Government, and whilst the cardinals dare not walk the streets of Rome for fear of encountering the popular fury, the victims marked out by their inqu►sitorial decrees circulate freely. The pontifical police refuses tickets of residence ; the French police on the contrary gives them freely to the deputies and other compromised persons." By a decree of the 24th ult., the Duke of Parma has called under arms 400 men intended for the reserve. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Oct. 2.) SUGA.R.—To-day former rates were required for West India; still on the part of grocers or refiners not much desire was evinced to operate. The purchases amounted to only 380 hhds, &c., including a public sale of 165 hhds Barbadoes, which went generally at the former value; low to middling at 37s to 38s 6d, good to fine ips to 405 6d, and low soft at 363 per cwt. The market for all sorts of sugar has a quiet appearance. REFINED.—To-day there was rather more demand for refined Sugar for home trade purposes, and prices ruled firm; brown lumps at 473 to 47s 6d, and fair grocery at 48s *0 483 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull . of sale at former rates. MAURITIIIS.—This afternoon there was no public sale of Mauritius Sugar, and by private treat lile business was done, whilst sellers were ready to y acc tt ept former rates. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was not more activity in the market for Bengal Sugar; three parcels amounting to 3,835 bags were offered at auction, and a part only sold at 64 per cwt decline. Benares fine white went at 40s 64 to 41s, good 39a to 40s, mid 38s 6d, damp and washed 37s to 41s, soft yellow mid to fine 36s to 38s 6d, grainy yellow 41s to 43, white 45s 6d to 468, good and tine yellow like Mauritius 38s to 395, mid 36s to 37s 61 Of Madras 3,970 bags consisting of soft descriptions went is per cwt cheaper, but mostly sold, good yellow at 34s 64 to 35s 6,1, mid 32s 6d to 33a 6d, low 31s to 32s o d to pod brown 29s 6 1 to 31 s per ca t.

THE PALACE COURT AND LOA'S SOCIETIES.—A very decent-looking young man, named William Jones, a gun-maker by trade, appeared before Mr. Arnold, the magistrate, a few days since, in a very d. jetted condition, having been suddenly reduced to a state of comparative destitution under circumstances which he related to the following effect :—A friend C his had obtained from a loan society in the neigh bourhood of Arbour-square a loan to the nominal amount of 61., the cash actually advanced, however, being little more than two-thirds of that sum, and the applicant was induced to become joint surety for its repayment, he being then very respectably situated with a houseful of good furniture, in Hawkin's-street, Mile• end. Part of the loan, however, being unpaid, an action was commenced in the Palace Court on the part of the society, and a copy of a writ was served upon the applicant, who, in a state of dismay, waited upon the secretary of the loan society, and the latter, as he stated, promised that upon payment of costs, which were already in curred to the amount of 305., a stop should be put to the proceedings at law. He was unable at that time to pay more than one pound, which he handed over to the secretary, but some time elapsed before he paid the remainder, but he did then pay 13s. to the secre tary, 103. as the remainder of the expenses, and 3s. in part payment of the original loan and actual debt for which the action had been commenced, and having done so he of course thought himself safe from the threatened action. Only a day or two after the pay ment of that money, however, an officer of the Palace Court came with a demand for the immediate pay ment of debt and costs, to the amount of 91. is. ld , and left a broker's man in possession. The man remained there four days, for which a subsequent charge was made of 3s. 6d. a day, and the required amount being then unpaid, they cleared his house of 501., worth of furniture, which was carried off to the premises of a Mr. Knowles, a broker and auctioneer, to be there sold by auction. The applicant himself attended the sale when it took place, and obtained a printed catalogue of the effects, which he produced, but from tbis some of the ar ticles actually, seized had been omitted;' for in stance a good carpet, which, upon his making the fact known, was afterwards restored to him; and he alleged that, instead of his own feather bed, worth eight or ten guineas, avert' inferior article, not belonging to him, was put up, and sold for 1/.165. He said he pointed out the difference at the time, and received a promise that his bed should be found and the matter made all right, but was afterwards put off and told that the party who had it could not be traced. With all these drawbacks and substitutions, however, the proceeds of the sale amounted to 141. 155., and the seizure having been made for 9/. odd, he expected of course that the difference was to be paid over to him ; but, upon inquiry, he said he was told that there was nothing to be returned, the expenses having so accu te. mulated as to absorb the whole. In the course of these transactions he hod been to the secretary of the loan society, to whom he paid the 11. 135., in expec tation of thereby putting an end to the Palace Court proceedings, but that person, he said, would have nothing to say to him, and told him that he might "take the law,' _if he liked. The affair had altogether been quite ruinous to him, for he had not only Lost a houseful of good furniture, but had lost so much time, and been so distracted in mind, as to be unable to attend properly to his work, and had, in Ice. consequence, lost his employment, and had for several weeks been without the means of properly supporting his wife and children. his chief anxiety now, how ever, was to trace and recover his bed, if possible, for the sake of his wife, who was on the eve of her accouchement, and was terribly distressod by the want of it. ➢lr. ARNOLD directed Holland, a warrant- officer, to render what assistance he could to the applicant, and Mr. Knowles, the auctioneer, being sent for denied Lce. all knowledge of any unfair dealing, and said the goods entrusted to him had been regularly catalogued and sold. He promised, however, to assist in tracing if he could the party who had bought the bed. The poor man said he had been to the Palace Court, and was desired to attend there on Saturday last, which he accordingly did, and was told that there ought to be a trifle returnable to him out of the pro - seeds of the sale ; and a promise was given that in _ quirt' should be made as to the facts he had mentioned, and the result communicated to him a week hence. Price. COURT-MARTIAL IN INDIA. GENERAL ORDERS BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE COM MANDEE-IN•CHIEF. Head-quarters, Simlah, 14th July, 1849. At the General Court-martial assembled at Luck now, on Wednesday, the 27th day of June, 1849, Ensign William henry flunkey, of the 38th Itegi % meat Light Infantry, was arraigned on the following charge, viz. For highly unbecoming conduct. First-1n having, at Lucknow, on or about the 28th of February, 1849, retained and fraudulently appropriated to his own we the sum of 21 rupees, sent by Captain W. J. B. Knyvett, of the same regi ment, to Lieutenant J. J. Hockley, of the 66th Re giment Native Infantry, with a note addressed to that officer, which money and note had been taken by mistake to him, Ensign Ilankey, he being well aware at the time that he had no such money to re ceive from Captain Knyvett; and secondly—in having, a few days subsequently, addressed to Cap tain Knyvett a receipt for the money, which he frau 56 I dulently signed " Hockley," without initials, end ' l ' 4 with some of the letters of the name written over to make it bear some resemblance to his own name, but so as to deceive Captain Knyvett into the belief that the money had duly reached its destination, and with intent so to deceive him. Finding—The Court, upon the evidence before them, are of opinion that the prisoner, Ensign William Henry Ilankey, 38th Regiment Light In iintry, is On the first instance of the charge—Guilty. On the second instance of the charge—Guilty. The Court are further of opinion, that the con- duct of which they found the prisoner guilty is Let I highly unbecoming, as set forth in the preamble to ,he charge. Sentence—The Court sentences the prisoner, tiEn gn William Henry Ilankey, 38th Regime Light is• Infantry, to be dismissed the service. Approved and confirmed, (Signed) C. J. nom, General, Commander in-Chief. '% Head quarters, 9th July, 1849. RECOMMENDATION. kX , The Court having performed a painful duty in Oa awarding the only sentence in their estimation coin , mensurate with the offence committed, beg to recom mend the prisoner to the merciful consideration of hi , Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, as they think, from his extreme youth and inexperience, he may 6d h ave been unaware of the serious nature of the offence, and in the hope that clemency may have a beneficial effect on his future conduct. 1. REMARKS. On the 21st ultimo, I wrote some remarks on the recommendation to mercy made by a General Court & martial which tried Diarem Opediah, a Jemadar in j the 2d Grenadiers. To these remarks I now refer the officers who have recommended Ensign Hankey to mercy, a proceeding which does so little credit to the Court, that I cannot believe it to have been :s unanimously voted. What ! pardon and turn back among the officers of the Indian army, a man con victed of felony ! On what grounds, does the ma jority of this Court cast upon the Commander-in- Chief the pain of refusing pardon ? On the grounds of youth I Has he not been nearly a year and a half in the army ? Has he not a commission ? Is he not, by the rules of the service, deemed old enough to sit, and has he not sat, as an officer, in judgment, and as a magistrate, to try and punish others ? Is he not old enough to be entrusted, and has he not been entrusted with the command of men ? With a subaltern's com mand in peace end in war ? and when men's lives and safety depend upon the conduct of a subaltern ? Has not the glorious uniform which he has dis graced by two infamous actions, sufficed, by its re cognised honour, to introduce him into the best society, even into the presence of the Sovereign ? and would the majority of the Court wish me to leave it on the back of such a man as the prisoner ? Has he been tempted by misfortune and distress? No ! lie avows his wealth, he has had the education of a gentleman ; his conduct seems to be the result of innate moral turpitude had the prisoner been horror-struck at the enormity of his guilt, avowed his crime, and cast himself, repentant and conscience-smitten, upon the mercy of the Court, I could have understood the feelings of those who re commended him to mercy. B ut such is not the case. On the contrary, while con scious of his guilt, he de liberately adds to his crime, by the effrontery, the sophistry, and the falsehood of his defence To pardon such an offender would be an insult to the army, and I will not do it. (Signed) C. J. NAPIER, General, Commander-in-Chief. The name of Ensign W. H. Hankey will cease to be borne on the returns of the 38th Regiment N. L. 1., from the data on which this order may be publi s h e d at Lucknow, of w hich a report is to be made to the Adjutant-General of the army, and the Assistant Ad jutant-General o f the Presidency. By ord,r o f his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, PAT. GRANT, Lieutenant-Colonel, Adjutant-General of the Army. PROFESSOR WILSON'S ESTATE IN WESTMO R ELAND. —The Ellcray estatr, on the banks of Windermere, a be tutiful little domain, whose natural charms have been rendered doubly famous by the reputation of it s pro prietor, Professor Wilson, was put up to auction on Thursday week, at the Royal hotel, Bowness, by Mr. E. Burton. A sale was declared to be at 8,0001., but as the bidding did not reach this amount no sale was effected. — Carlisle Journal. Earl Grey arrived at his residence in Belgrave-sqlare Jot evening. CRICKET. ST. JAMES'S CRICKET CLUB V. KINGSTON. These clubs played their congaed:lg match at King ston on Friday, which ended in favour of the St. James's by nine runs on the first innings, there not being suffi cient time to play it out. Tho smallness of the scores are only w ho accounted for by the supet imity of the bowling and fielding on both sides. On the si.t.e of the St. James's the batting of Barr was much admired, ob taining his runs in a style that would hare done credit to a more older practitioner. The bowling of Payne and Bentley was excellent, and the wicket-keeping of Mason beyond all praise, taking three of the finest catches imaginable. The long-stopping of Adams (who was not put on until late in the game), was very good. On the side of the Kingston, Chester, who was unfortunate with his bat (being caught by Mason at the wicket by what could scarcely be ttrmed a chance) obtained eight runs in his usual style, and his bowling and fielding elicited the praise and admiration of every one present. Jones also bowled exceedingly well. The following is the t.:core ST. JAMES'S—FIRST INNINGS. arrison—b Chester ... Barr—run out Mason—e Nightingale, b Jones Bentley—e Bishop, b Jones ...

A LANDLORD SOWING ON A SUNDAY—REAPING s n i ON A SUNDAY—AND CARRYING OFF Ins C R cP SUNDAY. —Struggling been denounced farmers have ON e very form of abuse for carrying off or attempti ng to carry cff their crops on Sundays to save them from the landlord and to save themselves and fbmilies from ruin; but we learn by a letter before us written by a collector of poor-rates, that a landed proprietor in the neighbour. hood of Li3towdl, to place his crops out of the reach of the rate collector, actually bad his barley sown on Sun day, reEpzd on Sunday, and removed off his estate on Sunday! When a landlord thus leads the way in doing on Sunday what belongs to Monday, and for the object so much decried in tenants, who can venture with any show of reason or justice to blame the latter for imitat ing so faithfully their " very noble and approved good mustero"?—Kerry Examiner. On Monday a meeting of a somewhat unusual character took place at the Mechanics' Institute, Southampton-buildings' at which a gentleman named Rogers proposed to solve at the same time one of the great social and pecuniary difficulties of Ire land and the great sanitary question now agitated in the metropolis. The object of the meeting was to test, by actual experiment, the valuable deodorising proper ties of peat charcoal,when applied to and intermixed with night soil, the matter of sewers, &c., and its peculiar character may be inferred from the fact that it ori ginated in a challenge ; that a chairman was selected hap hazard from the body of the meeting; that six or eight judges were chosen, according to " crowner's 'quest law," de circumstantibus, all being perfect strangers to one another, and all ultimately concur rent in bearing testimony to the value and importance of the experiments which they were called upon to witness, and by which the deleterious and appalling effects, in crowded cities, of decomposed animal and vegetable matter might be averted and made subser -1 vient to the reproduction of food for man. The proceedings were opened by an address from Mr. Win. Shaw, the editor of the Mark-lane Express, who stated that he had been mainly instrumental in calling the meeting together, having been formerly practically connected with agriculture, and latterly devoted to agricultural literature. Seeing how much had been done by their neighbours on the continent for the improvement of agriculture, his attention had been directed to that point, more especially to some means by which so valuable a manure as human excretion should not be lost. In London it was not only entirely thrown away, but actually so disposed of as to poison and infect the air we breathed, although it was well known to be a most valuable fertiliser; but could not be dealt with on account of its offensiveness. Mr. Rogers having directed his attention to the subject of the deodorising powers of peat charcoal, and addressed • some correspondence to the Mark lane Express, he (Mr. Shaw) had challenged him to a public exhibi tion of its efficacy, and that challenge Mr. Rogers had accepted, and the result was the present meeting. —(Hear, hear.) He begged to disclaim having the remotest private or personal interest in view—he Iwished the trial to be made in the most public man ner, and let the meeting select its own chairman, and l pronounce its opinion upon the result. At the suggestion of Mr. Shaw, a gentleman was then called from the body of the meeting to act as chairman, and from a number who presented them eelves on the platform for that purpose, eight were chosen to watch the proceedings, and act as judges. Six pounds of night soil were then mixed with twelve pounds of peat charcoal, and passed through a mill of simple construction, in which they were I thoroughly mixed, the result being a dry blackish ' powder, not unlike the peat charcoal in appear ance, ands - giving out a faint ammoniacal sme ll, which speedily passed off, leaving the poudrette in odorous and capable of being handled and Carried about without any inconvenience. There was a small ' loss in weight, the product weighing something more i than 171 b. for 181 b. put into the mill. The CHAIRMAN, after the experiments had con . eluded, called upon the judges to give their opinions seriatim, for the satisfaction of the meeting. Dr. ALFRED KING said the process appeared to him extremely satisfactory. The product had a slight ammoniacal smell, and no doubt some ammonia and other gases were given off. It had completely answered the object in view, and for his part he had been very surprised and pleased at the result, and was of opinion that a most glorious discovery bad been made. He was also highly impressed with the honest and straightforward conduct of Mr. Rogers in submitting the process to the investigation of perfect strangers. Mr. LYON, secretary to the King's College, Hos pital, the second judge, said he also was of opinion that the experiment had been perfectly successful. It was the intention of Dr. Guy to have been present; but in consequence of the opening of the session he was unable to attend. He was glad to find that there had been no chairman provided beforehand, and no packed committee. He knew nothing of any of the parties, and had offered himself as a judge from the belief that, as acting in an official capacity, his testi mony would be some guarantee of the. fairness and impartialty of the experiments. Mr. GRIFFITHS, surgeon, of No. 1, Bloomsbury place, had great pleasure in joining in the approval of his fellow judges. He thought the application of charcoal to cesspools would be a very important benefit, as he had witnessed in the course of his house to house visitation many cases in which the removal of the night soil were likely to be productive of more evil and danger than allowing it to remain_ __ll 7 mixing the charcoal with it all danger would be obviated, and he trusted the matter would be taken up by public bodies in the metropolis. Mr. J. E. YARROW, civil engineer, of 18, Adam street, and Cheshire, said he attended there as the re- I presentative of a large holy of agriculturists of the county of Cheshire, who had requested him to inves tigate and report upon the various deodorising agents now being put forward in the metropolis, end he ex pressed himself perfectly satisfied with the result. As a practical man, he believed that the charcoal might be applied with the greatest benefit to the towns in which large quantities of night soil were collected, and he should be fully prepared, after what he had witnessed, to give the principle his cordial support. Mr. NISBETT, the next judge who came forward, said he was only an accountant, and could not be sup posed to know much of the nature of the experiments. He had been requested by his brother, Dr. Nisbett, superintendent and manager of the county lunatic asylum of Nottinghamshire, to accompany him to the meeting, his brother having been deputed by the ma gistrates of that county to report upon the plan. It the pecuniary part of the process was found to answer as well as the chemical, Mr. Rogers would have con ferred a very great boon upon society. Dr. WALKER, M.A., of Maidstone College, said the result had entirely answered his expectations, and indeed gone beyond them. It was true there was a slight smell of ammonia, but it appeared to go off very soon. He had attended more with an agricul tural view than any other, in order to ascertain whether it would come within the range of farmers, so as to be made available by them without any con siderable expense or costly machinery. If that were so, it would be of very great value, especially in the county of Kent, where the most expensive manures were employed. Mr. SWINBURNE, a barrister, said he would pre mise that he was averse to the principle, but did not hesitate to say that, as a deodoriser, the charcoal was perfectly efficacious. He had tested the matter pri vately, and was satisfied that it was one of the most complete deodorisers they possessed. He should pro bably have the honour of submitting to the gentleman an antagonistic plan, and therefore his testimony must be considered the more impartial. Mr. GARRETT, one of the commissioners of the parish of St. James, and one of the committee of the sanitary board, entirely agreed with the Gentlemen who had preceded him. He thought it would be most desirable if the charcoal could be introduced into cesspools in the metropolis. He was not so favourable to machines, as they could not be so generally ' adopted. Mr. NISBETT, an analytical chemist, was the last of the judges. He said it was known for a long period that charcoal was a powerful deodoriser; but much credit was due to Mr. Rogers for bringing the fact in a practical way before the public. As an agricultural chemist, he was very much interested in the subject, and, in the present case, he thought the result, upon the whole, was highly satisfactory. If the pecuniary calculations were such as would enable the process to be carried on with advantage, the peat charcoal of the bogs of Ireland was likely to produce very valuable and important benefits in the heart of the metropolis. Mr. SHAW having been loudly called upon by the meeting, said he would not presume to offer any opinion after the very able and satisfactory ones the meeting had heard. He was gratified to find that his challenge had been productive of such satisfactory results. He only trusted that Mr. Rogers's calcula tions might be borne out practically, and then indeed they would be enabled to say that they had achieved a great victory. Mr. ROGERS then presented himself, and was loudly cheered, observing that the granulated char coal could be supplied in London at 2/. 10s. per ton, and it was hoped that it might be obtained at a still lower price. It was important to know, that if the worst cesspool in London was only covered to the depth of two or three inches, it would entirely destroy the effluvia, and save the expense, and avoid the se rious evil of disturbing and removing it in times like the present, when disease was so prevalent. He would observe, that so long as the present system was continued of sending the excretory matter into the sewers, and diffusing its deleterious vapours all over the town, London would never be free from disease. Having answered some questions relative to the fertilising properties of the animalised char coal, and also relative to its robable cost, Mr. Roe at te g nt r i 3 o nconcludedhad givenby tthoantliiliengsutphhieeertn eeting for the a S r k O e U t T a I A i M i a P v T r O e N i , s T st u il E i s l u a a n v A i ofo G. — ye T .st h e e rd u a o y t s t 4 on o ; bales.

GOOD NEWS FOR TBE POOR.—Yesterday the wholesale potato merchants of Tooley-street, Borougl), commenced their season for the sale of potatoes coming to London coastwise; an immense quantity, of a very superior quality, were exposed for sale, at a price full 30 per cent. lower than the best (au iuferior sort) fetched at the beginning of the last season. • IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.

Joseph Vozocll was brought before Alderman Car dui, charged with having robbed his employers, Messrs. Elliott, of Goldsmith- street, Cheapside, of a cash-box containing 431. 10s. It was the duty of the prisoner to clean out the warehouse every morning, in conjunction with another porter, and the key of the warehouse, to which was attached another key, was left for him every morning. On Friday morning the prisoner arrived at the ware house at an earlier hour than usual, and disappeared soon afterwards, and one of the clerks discovered that the lock of the drawer of the iron safe in which the cash-Lox was generally kept had been picked, and the cash-box containing the money stolen. The firm, however, very soon afterwards received the cash-box from a relative of the prisoner, whO had decamped with the property, and had no doubt been conscience struck at the iniquity as soon as it was perpetrated. If there had occurred any deficiency in the contents it could not have extended beyond a few shillings. Tire relations of the prise= hoped that as the pro perty bad been restored to the owner the prosecutor would be merciful. • • Alderman CARDEN said a vigilant examination of the particulars of such a case must take place for the sake of the public, .fofthe charge wag one of a most serious nattiv?.

MAIDSTONE.—We can only corroborate our last week's report that the hops have everywhere come down short of expectation, although the samples are mostly of very superior quality. We hare only heard of a single exception to this rule, in which the plan ter ret his crop at three bags, when everybody else set them at six, to avoid the error of the man who, after killing his pig, remarked to a neighbour, " My pig did not weigh near so much as I expected—l always thought it wouldn't." HORSMONDEN.—The picking in our parish is, with one or two exceptions, brought to a close. The qua. lity of our hops is very fine, but the quantity is much less than was expected. We believe the average for the parish will be about 5i cwts. to the acre. MEREWORTII, NETTLESTEAD, WATEKINGBURY, AND TESTON.---The picking is nearly drawn to a conclusion in these parishes, and the result will show that the crop is far short of what was expected a month since. Most of the growers complain as to the crop they have got, but feel pleased as to the probable prices, as many betters upon the duty do not appear ready to back the duty at 80,000/. ; some speculators say 70,0001. EAST MALLlNG.—Picking is now completed, and most of the hops have passed the excise scale. It is now quite certain that the crop will fall nearly or quite half short of the expectations of the planters before picking. Most of the hops are good in colour and quality. Last year there were put up in this parish about 700 bags, this year 30. YALDING AND HUNTON.—Picking has come to a close, except by one or two growers. Almost every where they come short in quanity. HURSTGREEN.—The hops are nearly all picked, and will produce about one•fourth of last year's growth, or about three cwt. to the acre. They are, however, of excellent quality, and cannot fail to obtain a fair share of attention in the market. ROTHEREIELD (SussEx).—Our hopping is brought to a close. 'We had some gardens that promised well, but came down at least one-third short, and some nearly one half of what they were set at. Bux ted is worse than Rotherfield, and some gardens on Northiam have not had a bin in them. VINE HALL (SussEx).—Tilden Smith Esq.'s Golding hops were sold in the Borough last week, at 101. 10s. per cwt. The quality was fully equal to any that have appeared at market. FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, OCT. I.—ln handing you our last report for the season, we have only to observe, that picking is completed, and the quantity falls short of the planters' expectations. The old dut y for the district we ima gine will be about s,sool.—Maidstone Gazette of this day. [ADVERTISEMENT 3 —The extensive publication of The Observer commences at four o'clock Sunday morn ings.

SUNDAY MAILS.—Last night a numerously• attended meeting of the inhabitants of Islington was held in the I,rge school-room belonging to the chapel of ease in the Liverpool-road, for the purpose of paitioning the Go vernment against the opening of the London Post-office on the Lord's-day. The Rev. D. Wilson, M.A., the vicar, took the chair at 7 o'clock. Upon the platform were nearly the whole of the local clergy, churchwar dens, and other parochial officers. The body of the spacious building was filled to inconvenience with the residents of the parish, and some hundreds of parties were obliged to go away, unable to gain admittance. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Woodworth (a magistrate), the Rev. Dr. Henderson, the Rev. Joseph Wilson (of Clapham), the Rev. Mr. Mackenzie, and the Rev. Mr. Hamilton. Resolutions were prssed, express ing the concern of the assemblage at hearing that the Post-office authorities had it in contemplation to open that national establishment on the Lord's-day, and to increase very considerably the Sunday duty, and recom mending that a memorial should be presented to Lord John RusEell against the measure. SIR JAMES ALEXANDER'S " L'ACADIE.'' —A new work has just appeared irorn the pen of Sir James Alex ander, K.L.8., on the Staff of the Cummailder of the Forces in Canada, which will doubtless receive a hearty welcome from his military breihren and the reading public in gen , ral. L is entitled " L'Acadic; or Seven Years' Explorations in British America; with Sketches of its Natural History, Social alai Sporting Scenes, &c." The work embraces excursions arid adventures of every kind in British America and the United States, from New Brunswick to New York. Tae writer seas every thing that is to be seen from the Falls of Niagara to Sr. John's City. Now ha is on a tour, now deer-stalking in the woods, now exploring in the wilderness. He visits Audubau and AlacNab, chats with Dickens at a Canadian soirée, and shakes hands with Bryant the American poet. Volunteering to survey for a military road through Canada and New Brunswick, he cuts his way with an axe, on foot, through the pathless forests, acquiring a great deal of useful information, which he has imparted in a way likely to render his narrative most valuable for intending emigrants. rADVERTISEMENT.j—THE EARL OF ALDBOROUGII AND HOLLOWAY'S PILLs.—An astounding cure by this miraculous medicine, alter every other means had failed.
