r ! I E SHIPWRECK AT BOULOGNE.. ' ll t' 41 Evening Edifies, of Th e S un of yesterday we r.! a n account o f t h e melaneholy wreck'of the elia nee, East Indiaman, off the . coast of Boulogne, In which it was stated that only ten persons were I 've& We regret to add that, according to the return.. made to Lloyd's,. only six persons out of 116 were ta th v i eti• We have received no particulars respecting that s melancholy event, but it is extremely probable pilot vessel had come up the Channel without a nigh t l t Wing to the violence of the storm on Saturday ti.t and the Captain being ignorant of the ahl er eos coast had kept near the French land for the ' ter, as t h enind was from the south-west, and ran se verses p a reef of rocks, which extends for le e k s versa. miles to the:north-east of Boulogne. On these th e Amphitrite, a convict ship, was lost eight yea rs to:ago, when all on board, with the exception of 1 1 1 1 r two seamen,-were lost. No . ' blame can be at- re n ,r to the French authorities at Boulogne for not the we!"ing assistance, as the coast is so dangerous, and even Ind blowing from that quarter is so strong that b nen dthe hardiest seaman in England would have resc ue -"eterred from going out on such an occasion the dir ec • tile , sufferers. For three or four miles in t low !do n , s ,' 3 ' Calais there are sunken rocks, and even . a of t1: - T r, they are hardly perceptible. The Captain our e - Reliance evidently was unaware of the dang d er . - re et i °a st, for, the wind coming from a contrary 1- . tion . °ll ' he , was not compelled to steer in that direc of 2 0 The vessel was homeward bound with a cargo car ,„70 chest s of tea.

SUNDAY.—This morning, at twelve o'clock, her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert at tended divine service in the Duke of Wellington's small dining-room, now used as the drawing-room. The Rev. Mr. Wilberforce, Vicar of Walmer, offi ciated. The whole of the. Royal suite were present. The boisterous stormy weather prevented her Ma jesty leaving the Castle to-day. The Prince of Wales and Princess Royal have been detained within the Castle from the same cause. At three o'clock, notwithstanding the wind and rain, his Royal Highness Prince Albert walked for some time on the beach with his dogs. His Royal Highness was attended by the Hon. C. A. Murray. The Royal dinner party this evening will include, in addition to the Royal suite, Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, covers being laid for thirteen. On the night of Friday a strong south-west gale started the anchor of the Thunderer man-of-war, about 30 fathoms; there was no damage, however, done to this fine vessel. Several merchant vessels lost their anchors, and ran into R ams g ate ; yesterday three Post-:Bee packets from France, after landing their mails, took refuge in the sluices, and returned in the afternoon. The wind continues strong from the same quarter. The Post-office packet the Courier, Captain Langlois, which left Calais at two on Satur day afternoon, landed its dispatches at Deal , inst ead of landing them at Dover. Vessels outward bound are collecting in the Downs in great numbers, from their not being able to get down the Channel. About one o'clock a Lisbon steamer, outward bound, hoisted a waft for a boat; seven men instantly put off, and were observed to reach the vessel, and in less than ten minutes the boat disappeared and the vessel bore back to the Margate roads. ppe The Prince of Wales boat was instantly launched, when they discovered the wreck of the Talley, but could hear no tidings as to the fate of the crew. COURT CIRCULAR. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge entertained last night at dinner, at their residence at Kew, his Imperial Highness the Arch duke of Austria, his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, Baron Neu mann, Baron Lebzeltern, Count Carolyi, Captain Marinewitch, Captain Dumont, Chevalier Koechel, Captain Fitzroy, Lady Augusta Somerset, Baroness Ahlefeldt, Colonel Jones, and Baron Knesebeck. Mr. Rose, of Demerara, had an interview with Lord Stanley yesterday at the Colonial-office. Deputations from Rochester had interviews with Lord Wharncliffe, Lord President of the Council, yesterday, at the Colonial-office. The Brazilian Minister transacted business yester day at the Foreign-office. The Bishop of London bad an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday at his official residence in Downing-street. Dispatches from the Governors of New South Wales, Ceylon, Cape of Good Hope, and St. Helena, were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. Dispatches were also received from the Governor of Newfoundland. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALIALYESTERDAY. THE DERBY.—The only striking alteration on this event is the increase of the offers against Scott's lot, con sequent by the death of Mr. George Clark, on the dis qualification of Philip and Abernethy ; the other fa vourites in that stable are, individually, stationary. The betting was neither brisk nor important ; it extended, however, over a tolerably extensive list, and resulted in an improvement on Aristides, and a decline of ten points each on Amorino and the Oxygen colt. The closing prices were -5 to 1 agst Scott's lot—taken and afterwards offered 14 to 1 agst Sir G. Heathcote's lot—taken 8/ to 1 agst Mr. Blakeloas A British Yeoman 20 to 1 agst Colonel Peel's Murat—taken 22 to 1 agst Mr. Bell's Winesour 25 to 1 agst Lord Eglinton's Aristides—take 30 to 1 30 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Progress colt 40 to 1 agst Sir G. Heathcote's Sirikol—taken and afterwards offered 40 to 1 agst Colonel Anson's Napier 40 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Cotherstone 40 to 1 agst Mr. Griffith's Newcourt 50 to 1 agst Sir G. Heatheote's Amorino 50 to 1 agst Duke of Grafton's Oxygen colt—taken 50 to 1 agst Duke of Richmond's Clara colt 50 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Languish colt—tak. 50 to 1 agst Major Yarburgh's Dumpling—taken 1000 to 20 agst Mr. Bell's Black Drop—taken 1000 to 16 agst Mr. St. Paul's Cheviot—taken 1000 to 10 agst Mr. Rogers's Syren—taken 2000 to 20 agst Mr. Bowes's Auld Lang Syne—taken OAKS. 800 to 100 agst Lord Westminster's Maria Day 1000 to 100 agst Mr. Powlctt's Wee Pet. Laid on Sunday. We learn with deep regret, that Mr. Councillor Robertson died between seven and eight o'clock yes terday evening. He has been in bad health, we be lieve, for two years or more, but his complaints, which had been partially subdued by medical treat ment, returned suddenly about ten days ago, and with a violence which too surely prognosticated a fatal issue. The warm interest he took in public affairs induced him to attend the meeting of the Council on Friday, when he was evidently unfit to be abroad ; hut from that time his strength sunk rapidly. In him Edinburgh has lost one of the best and most useful citizens she ever possessed.—Scotsman. If we rejoice in the selection of Mr. Robertson Gladstone to fill the civic chair in the current year, it is not that we have in the abstract any preference for one Tory over another to occupy our high places. But we have other and better grounds on which to rest our satisfaction with the choice which has been made. Mr. Gladstone has identified himself with a principle for which we have long been struggling. He has pledged himself in the face of our Council, bigots and fanatics, teetotallers or " fragments," that if the exclusive system of education, now unhappily re-established in the Corporation Schools, is found not to answer in conferring its benefits and advantages upon the children of the poor of all denominations, he will move for a return to a more Christian system, which shall have Gospel charity, not sectarian hate, for its g roundwork.—LiverkPool Albion. MR. CHARLES NEWM*N s BANKRUPTCY.—Friday was fixed for the final examination of the bankrupt, who resided at Cogges-hall, where he kept and hunted a pack of fox-hounds with great spirit. The bank rupt attributed his insolvency to the circumstance of his having been induced to become a large Share owner and Managing Director to the Anthracite Coal and Iron Company near Carnarvon, and for which pur pose he had deeply mortgaged his estate. In two years and a half the subscribed capital of the Company was nearly 57,0001., which was all speedily ex hausted, and debts were contracted, for which the works were mortgaged to the further amount of 25,0001. The Company was soon after dissolved, and the works and liabilities have since been disposed of. The mortgagees sold off the whole of the bankrupt's property, and there , now remained enough to pay the general creditors about 7s. in the pound. The assignees being satisfied with the bankrupt's accounts, be was declared to have passed his final examination. —Cambrian. BELL ROCK LIGHT HOUSE.—During the late heavy gales which have done so much damage to shipping, particularly between the 19th and the 23d ult., the sea sprays appear, by the monthly returns from the Bell Rock Lighthouse, to have risen upon the building to the height of from 60 to 90 feet every tide. While this heavy sea ran, one of those great detached masses of stone familiar to the lightkeepers by the name of " Travellers," was forced across the rugged surface of the rock, about 100 yards to the lighthouse, where it destroyed part of the cast-iron landing-wharf. This stone measured about 7 feet in length, 3i feet in breadth, 21- feet in thickness, and must have weighed about 4 tons. To prevent mischief by the movement of these great stones, the light keepers are provided with quarry tools, with which they broke it up and arrested its progress, but it was no easy task from the run of the sea. The heaviest seas which visit the Bell Rock are froth the North east, but the present gale was chiefly from the North west; and it is not a little remarkable that the Frith of Forth was but little affected during this storm above the Island of May, COMMITTAL OF A MAN FOR STEALING HIS OWN PROPERTY: —A labouring man, named Matthew Leo nard, was brought before a county Magistrate at Stockport on Thursday, charged with felony, under the following circumstances :—The prisoner, who re sided at Castle-bill, Bredbury, had lately had his fur niture distrained upon for rent; the property being removed from his house to a school-room, in which the er place it was safe on Monda y . On the following morning, all the property was missing ; p unlock eh would the school room havingdooohrt,aihneadd a ta k k7n ey lv.h. fm i 'ay the furniture, and con veyed it to Stockport, w here it was afterwards found by Galley, the Bredb ur y constable, at the hous e o f a person named committed Wild. The prisoner was f or trial.-111anchester Guardian. WHOLESALE INFANTICIDE.—The adjourned inquiry into the mysterious and horrible cases of wholesale child murder at Ruardean, in the Forest of Dean, the particulars of which we published last week, was resumed on Wednesday last, before Mr. John Cooke, Coroner, and in the presence of s acral of the Magis trates of the district. The evidence adduced was similar to that to which we adverted last week, and no new fact of a material nature transpired. The Jury expressed an opinion that if further time were allowed, additional evidence might probably be ob tained, and the inquest was consequently ad journed till Wednesday next, the 16th instant, In the meantime, Thomas Yapp continues in custody, and a policeman also remains in the house where the tragedy was committed, in order to take charge of the woman (Francis Bennett) who continues in the same state of ill-health which we reported last week. — Gloucester Journal: THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDA MUSIC CLASSES—EXETER-HALL. PRESENTATION OF A MUSIC-STAND TO MR HULLAH, BY HIS PUPILS. Last evening was an era deserving of remembrance not only in the history of musical education in this country, but in the history . of education generally. It is now some twenty years since that Lord Brougham announced that the schoolmaster was abroad. The schoolmaster has now a local habitation and a name, and the great ones of the earth come and do him ho mage. The members of the first workmen's singing class at Exeter -hall last night, showed their respect to their teacher, benefactor, and friend, Mr. John Hullah , by presenting him with a superb music- stand, value forty gui neas, as a testimonial of their respect and esteem, and Lord Wharncliffe, the President of the Council, and Chairman of the Committee of Council for National Education, thought it his duty to be pre sent on the occasion, to hear his testimony to the merits of Mr. Hulli:1), and to take credit to himself for the efforts which he had made ?to promote the education of the humbler classes in the delightful science of music. It was a proud and a grati fying thing for those who have laboured through evil report and good report in the cause of education — who, in spite of the avowed and active hostility of some, the galling sarcasm of others, and, worst of all, the half support of many who --Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer, And though not sneering, teach the rest to sneer— It was a proud and gratifying thing for those who have been the friends of the education of the masses in the worst of times, to witness the triumph of lot evening. The doors were opened at six, and the pro;; ceedings were advertised to commence at seven. Long before that hour the immense area of Exeter-hall was crammed to suffocation. From the platform it pre sented the appearance of a sea of human heads. The galleries were crowded, and on the platform it was with great difficulty, that even standing room could be obtained. At seven o'clock Mr. Hullah assumed his baton, and the proceedings of the evening com menced. The classes having gone through their Sol fa-ing exercises with a precision which would have done credit to the best drilled chorus of the most effi ciently conducted theatre in Europe, Mr. EDLIN came forward on the platform, and presented to Mr. Hullah, in the name of the first workmen's singing class of Exeter Hall, a most elegant and elaborately finished music-stand, as a testimony of the esteem and respect of his pupils be longing to that class. In presenting the stand, Mr. Edlin read a neat complimentary address, in which, after expatiating on the merits of Mr. ullah as a teacher, the advantages to be derived from a know ledge of the science of music as cheap and intellectual amusement for the humbler classes, as an amuse ment tending to the increase of the domestic com forts and to the improvements of their morals, were dwelt upon. Its higher merits, as tending to the praise and glory of the Creator, by introducing a proper and decent method of congregational singing in our places of religious worship, were not left unno ticed, and it was with a praiseworthy feeling of self respect that the authors of the address adduced the nrogress of the workmen's singing class as a proof that the humble orders were as capable as any class of so ciety of duly appreciating those refined amusements which have hitherto been placed beyond their reach, and of acquiring a taste for which too many have thought them incapable. The music-stand itself is a most elegant piece of workmanship. The desk is sup ported by a cherub bearing a palm branch; the whole is elaborately carved and gilded. Mr. Hum.air, in acknowledging the gift, ex pressed a hope that the classes were not going to se parate, but would still further pursue their studies. They had come, he said, not to the end of their journey, but to the point where two paths separated, and he trusted they would journey onward with him. He could not yet let them go.—(Cheers.) He then al luded to the success which had attended his method of teaching, and expressed a hope that the members of the class had imparted their knowledge of class singing to their wives and families, for the great object of the illustrious man who had first promulgated the c l o V in il f h o e r m ts , of o h f is P f a e ri llo s, w h - a c d re b at e u e r n es to by in ad cr d eas in e g domesticsystem,, M. A ;o the stock of innocent amusements.—(Cheers.) Having dwelt on the great importance of Co ngregal tional singing, as adding to the solemnity of religious worship, he concluded by announcing his intention of forming a class of the wives and children of working men. This announcement was received with loud cheers. The classes then performed several pieces of cheral music in excellent time and tune. At the conclusion of the proceedings, Lord WHARNCLIFFE came forward and said that he could not allow the proceedings to terminate without expressing his high gratification at all that he had wit nessed, and his entire concurrence in the sentiments and address which had been put forth on presenting Mr. Hullah with that elegant testimonial of their respect and esteem. There were few men like Mr. Hullah. Never had it been his (Lord Wharncliffe's) lot to meet with a teacher who possessed in such an eminent degree the art of fixing the atten tion of his pupils. He (Lord Wharncliffe) congratu lated them on the progress they had made in the de lightful science of music. It was delightful to see the working man thus adding to his stock of innocent and intellectual amusements, and he was proud to think that he had contributed to pro mote their instruction in that most delightful and beautiful science.—His Lordship was loudly cheered during the delivery of his speech, and at its conclusion the classes sang " God Save the Queen," after which the vast assemblage dispersed. Great credit is due to the classes for the man ner in which they have profited by the instruc tions given to them. Great credit is due to Mr• Hullah for his unwearied assiduity, his untiring patience, and his lucid, clearness in imparting those instructions ; but while thus awarding praise to our own countryman, who .has naturalized, as it were, the system of class-singing among us, let us not forget to award honour where' honour is due. Honour to M. Wilhem, the inventor of this method of instruction honour to M. WilheM, the music-master of the masses —the friend of the poet Beranger, and the man who, in setting some of the most soul-stirring lyrics of that poet of the people to appropriate melodies, has indeed " married music to immortal verse." Honour to Mr. Wilhem, the benefactor of his species. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Webster, taking advantage of the differences which have arisen between Macready and the Mathews's, has engaged Madame Vestris and Mr. Charles Mathews at this theatre. They made their first appearance here last evening as Lady Teazle and Charles Surface in the School for Scandal. The house was crammed to the ceiling long before the rising of the curtain, and on Madame Vestris making her appearance she was received, not with three times three, but with nine times nine, and, many cheers more, every acknow ledgment of the compliment on her part being the signal for a renewal of the applause. Never was reception more triumphant. Equally en thusiastic was the reception of Charles Mathews. At the fall of the curtain they were called for, and the applause was renewed with greater en thusiasm than ever. The comedy was powerfully cast, and Went off admirably; indeed, with Farren as Sir Peter Strickland as Sir Oliver, Stuart as Joseph Surface,' Charles Matthews as .Charles Surface, and Madame Vestris as Lady Teazle, how could it do- otherwise ? The engagement of Madame Vestris and Charles Mathews at the Hay market, is, we consider, a most fortunate cir cumstance for all parties concerned ; for while Webster, by their accession, completes his com pany, and makes it by far the most efficient comedy company in the metropolis, they find themselves in a position where their talents will not only be properly appreciated, but where they will have a fair field af forded for the display of those talents, andwhore their exertions will be most efficiently supported. A pleasant little duodrama (so named in the bills, that is a farce supported by two persons) followed, entitled Snapping Turtles, in which Buckstone and Mrs. Fitz . william, as a jealous couple, kept the house in a roar t for three quarters of an hour, by their ingenious il lustration of the art of tormenting. On Sunday morning a Coroner's inquest was held upon the body of the fisherman named Hum phrey, who was drowned on Saturday week, by the collision of the steam-packet Albion with his fishing boat, off Brighton, and whose body was not recovered till Saturday. The Jury returned a verdict of " Ac cidental death," exonerating the captain and crew of the Albion from any blame, and strongly expressing regret that a system were not adopted at the Custom house, of requiring signal lights to be provided for every fishing boat before it obtained a license. DUNFERNILINE.—Trade in Dunfermline is in a dreadful state, and getting daily worse. A firm in the manufacturing line stopped payment last week. Their liabilities are said to be 1.5,000/., but the assets, itis thought, will be considerable. It is reported that other parties in the trade are involved in this failure.

On Wednesday last an inquest was held at Lower Bullinghain, near this city, before N. Lanwarne, Esq., one of the Coroners for this county, on view of the body . of John Lavender, who died on Sunday night last, in a barn belonging to Mr. Pugh, farmer, when the following evidence was adduced : Thomas Lavender, brother of the deceased, dressed almost in rags, and apparently in a wretched state of destitution, deposed—l and my brother came from Liverpool.. We are farmers by trade. He is married, and has a wife and family in Liverpool. We came here in search of employment. Messrs, Grazebrook and Wragge, solicitors, High-street, Stourbridge, know something of his affairs, 'and, on reference, will give information. It is about a fortnight since we first came into this county. We have been sleeping in Mr. Pugh's barn, but could get no work. The deceased has suffered much from pain in his chest and head. He was poorly on Mon day last, and complained of pain in his chest. He would not go to the workhouse. On Saturday he was taken worse, and last night he died. He was in sensible yesterday, and I got him some warm cider. I did not know that I could get assistance from the parish in which he was ill. His wife and family are entitled to a good property on his death. I shall re turn to them. My brother is about 34 years of age. J. Morris, Esq., surgeon, deposed—l think it likely that his death was occasioned by the combined effects of external cold and internal starvation. It is quite evi dent, from the immense quantity of vermin, together with the general attenuation of his body, that he suf fered great hardship and privation, and the whole of these circumstances are, in my opinion, quite sufficient to account for his death. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." The following is a melancholy narration of the un fortunate life of this ill-fated man : The deceased married about ten years ago, and was then in possession of an, estate at Wolverley, in the county of Worcester, producing a rental of nearly 5001. per annum, which was then settled upon himself for life, and afterwards upon his children, subject to an annuity of 1001. per annum to his wife. His life in terest became mortgaged to a banker at Evesham, by way of annuity; and, subsequently, the estate for life, subject to the mortgage and annuity, was sold. With the produce of this the deceased paid some debts, very much increased by legal proceedings, and with the re mainder he went to live in Wales. He next went to the Isle of Man, with the view of taking a farm and supporting his wife and family; but misfortune at tended him—he did not succeed, and returned to England without a penny in his pocket. Being now reduced to destitution, rather than see his beloved wife and family starve and removed to the workhouse, he abandoned them, and went wandering through the country in search of employ ment ; he, at length, arrived at Bullingham, within half a mile of this city, and on Sunday evening last fell a sacrifice to poverty, dying in a barn of a broken heart, and a want of sustenance. His life was insured for a large sum of money to his mortgagees. What little property the deceased's brother, the above Thomas Lavender, was entitled to under his father's will, was held by his deceased brother, and he has no interest whatever in his estate, nor has he a sixpence in the world. He was a fond and faithful brother to the deceased, and shared all his vicissitudes, and although a situation was procured him he would not leave his brother alone in his trouble. Since his brother's decease he has been supplied with a suit of clothes and other necessaries. His widow and children were in the greatest dis tress, suffering the severest privations since their return to England, and it was only on Saturday last that the widow was advanced a small sum of money to buy a few articles of furniture to enable her to open a small day school to endeavour to support herself and Messrs. Grazebrook and Wragge had kindly been endeavouring to get her a small subscription amongst former friends, for the same purpose. This is, indeed, a tale of woe ; but amidst all their distresses, we are assured that their misery , has not been brought upon them by any cr ime or vwmus con t, interred duct, but by a thoughtless ex trava g ance in the first t, instance, which they were sever able t las o get over. in The deceased was, on Thurs da y we under- Sutton churchyard, near this cit y ; stand, it is the wish of the widow to . have the corpse ' removed to Wolverley.—Hereferd Times. —fie feel pleasure in THE MARQUIS Or SLIGO. is has considerably being able to state that the cause for anxiety concern ing the health of the Noble Marqu . subsided.

(From the Second Edition of the Morning Post.) e have just received the following from our Malta Correspondent : VALLETTA (MALTA), OCT. 31. Her Majesty's war-steamer Devastation, which arrived on the night of the 29th inst.. and the Snake brig-of-war, which has arrived this morning, both from Tunis, report that intelligence had arrived there, previous to their departure on the 26th, by a French steamer from Bona,. and the Turkish brig from Algiers (hut which, from motives of policy, the au thorities kept very secret), that the Arabs from the interior had risen against the French, had cut off all communication between the outposts and-the garrison, and were, in fact, blockading the city from the land I side. These very Arabs had been supplied with arms by the French to act , against Abd-el-Kader, who has succeeded in getting up this rising of the people of the Desert. Something of a similar nature has, according to the intelligence from Beyrout, per Great Liverpool, taken place in Syria. The Maronites and the Druses (armed by the British), have been joined by another powerful sect, the Mutuali, and entered into a solemn league and compact to extirpate the Ottomans. In their first rencontre, the Albanians (in the Turkish service) lost 100 men, and had 400 wounded. A Ma rmite convent has been attacked, and the whole of Mount Lebanon is under arms. This intelligence necessarily creates a move here. The Howe, bearing the flag of Sir F. Mason (second in command), is ordered to be ready for sea this even ing, it is reported for Vourla. The Indus ship-of the-line, Inconstant frigate, and Snake brig of war, are also under sailing orders for the coast of Syria ; and the Devastation will probably be despatched to Constantinople, with dispatches which have arrived from England. The French steamer which passed this port without communicating on the 29th, is, by our advices from Alexandria, known to be the Cameleon. She left on the 24th inst. with despatches from Marseilles, an nouncing the Syrian outbreak. BRAZILS. Her Majesty's packet Swift, Lieut. Douglas, ar rived at Falmouth on Friday night, from Rio Janeiro Sept. 17th, Bahia 29th, Pernambuco Oct. 9; freight, amounting altogether, shipped from Rio and Bahia, to about 44,0001. Her Majesty's ship Phantom took into Rio a prize, having on board 337 slaves, on Sept. 2. Sir William Gomme and suite arrived there Sept. 6, in the Cleo patra, and left on the 14th for the Cape of Good Hope. The Curacoa put in on the latter date, from the Paci fic, with a freight of 2,000,000 dollars, collected from round the Horn, and was to sail for. England on the 19th. On Oct. 2 the Growler steamer was spoken off Bahia, going southward. The Philomel had pro ceeded for Monte Video and the Falkland Islands. The exchange had risen to 26 and 26k, in conse quence of the settlement of the late revolutionary movements, gold being brought down to Rio and Bahia for shipment, from the mines of which the Swift had her freight. The Crane packet, following, had arrived at Rio, and was expected to have also a large amount. The rise in the exchange had given a slight impetus to trade, but it was supposed to be a visionary movement only. Baron de Caxias, who has been so fortunate as to quell insurrections in three provinces of Brazil, has been made a Major-General, and appointed Com mander-in-Chief in Rio Grande, where preparations have been made to put an end to the rebellion which has so long desolated that province, and little doubt was entertained but the noble and gallant Baron would be as successful there as he has been in Ma ranhao, St. Paulo, and Minas Geraes. A Prussian Prince (a nephew of the present King) had arrived rt Rio de Janeiro, with the grand cross of the Black Eagle, for his Imperial Majesty Don Pedro 11., of whose sister, it wiw presumed, the Prince would become a suitor; so that Rio was expected to be shortly very gay with the marriage of the Em peror himself, and perhaps of both his sisters. All the leaders of the late rebellion had been taken prisoners except two, and had been sent to Rio to be tried for high treason. THE GUAbALOUPE MEXICAN STEAMER. The New York Herald of the 17th ult. gives the following letter respecting the crew of this iron war steamer from its Vera Cruz correspondent : " Vera Cruz, Sept. 16, 1842. " I have just received the annexed statement from one of the crew of the Guadaloupe, the war steamer arrived from England : " I shipped on board the steam frigate Guadaloupe, Capt. E. Charlewood, at Liverpool, at the close of June last, as I thought, for China. The number of crew was then 86, including engineers, firemen, &c. The day before the steamer left Liverpool we were all called aft, when Captain Charlewood read a written agreement, without a stamp, and written by him self. It stated that he wished all hands to go with him—that he was ignorant of the destination of the ship—and that we must ask no questions. We were to receive 3/. per month as wages, warrant and petty officers rated according to rank. We sailed from Liverpool on the 4th of July. Two days after I noticed in the Liverpool Mail, of the 2d, that the Guadaloupe had cleared out for Corunna. On the 7th we called at Cork. Orders were then sent on board for the captain to go ashore, and report the ship immediately. He therefore piled on sail and put on steam, and we soon left old Ireland in the rear. On the 15th we touched at Funchal, took in coals, and left on the 18th. Shortly after the captain or dered the boatswain to pipe all hands to quarters. We were ranged on both sides of the deck. Captain Charlewood then said, Well, men, it is my intention to inform you what my business is.' I was ordered not to tell you before. lam bound to Vera Cruz, in Mexico. That place is blockaded by a set of half bred Yankees, who call themselves Texans. lam de termined to break myself through. lam well con vinced that you are all a set of picked men. We have a good ship, with two 68 pivots, and" we shall no doubt take plenty of prizes. " "rwo days after we saw the Mexican colours on board, much to our surprise. From that day we were constantly drilled at the big guns and small arms. It was laughable to see the firemen, all so very green, handling the muskets. We were piped to quarters whenever a vessel hove in sight. On the August we reached. Vera Cruz. On the 29th all hands manned the yards and saluted the Governor. We were then piped to quarters, and Captain Charle wood again spoke Well, men, I wish to inform you that this ship is going to exchange flags ; that of Mexico will be hoisted to-morrow morning. If any of you have anything to say, now is your time. Here after you must hold your tongues.' Several de clined serving under the Mexican flag, and wished to.leave. Four were permitted to go. The others were told that they must remain, as the Mexican Go vernment were anxious for English sailors—so much so, indeed, that the wages of the warrant-officers were raised. We .were then informed that Captain Charle wood would receive 450 dollars per month ; the first lieutenant, G. Wright, 150 dollars ; Dr. Clementson, 150 dollars ; under. purser and clerk, each 1.50 dollars ; and, after the capture of Texas, they are to receive 300 dollars 'to pa y their passage home — and poor Jack but 25 dollars. All those who should lose an arm, an eye, or a leg, were to receive 60/., and 301. for a finger, a toe, or for any scar. This is a list of prices adopted by Santa Anna. lie lost a leg, which was probably worth no more than 601.—hence the list. Three men refused to comply with these regu lations and serve in the steamer. they were conse quently thrown into prison and confined three days without any food. The British Consul refused to offer any aid." THE RIGHT OF SEARCH. CLOSING OF THE PROTOCOL FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY OF DEC. 20, 1841. PARIS, Nov. 11.—A courier arrived here thenight before last from London, and brought M. Guizot the ne ws that the protocol for the ratification of the treatyof Dec. 20 , had been concluded at the Foreign-office,on Monday, the 7th inst., by the representatives of the Powers signing the treaty, - at the formal demand of the French Ambassador. lam enabled to furnish you, on good authority, with the following circum stances which preceded this diplomatic formality. About a fortnight past,.M. Guizot commissioned M. de St. Aulaire to forward a note to Lord Aberdeen, announcing to the Cabinet of St. Jame3's that the po— litical position of the Cabinet was such that M. Guizot would not be able to ratify the treaty of Dec. 20. The wish expressed by the Chamber of Deputies in the e g y u o e t e n c e of of } t e h b e . ' wasr2e4fusalof F so ra p n r c e e eis t e o a r i a id tif f y orm the al t , r a ea n t d y. clearly expressed , tha t the French Cabinet would not dare to appear again be fore the Chamber without hav ing conformed to the w ish ex p ressed in the Lefevre ame ndment. When M. de S t. Aulaire g ave this note to Lord Aberdeen , his Lordshi p replied to the French A m bassador that the British G overnment would be com pelled to return to M. Guizo t a note couched in the same terms as that whi ch he had forwarded, and. that M. Guizot had so far en g a g ed himself to ratify the treaty that it would be impossible for him to with draw; for (said Lord Ab 2 r deen ) if M. Guizot had me rely signed such a treaty with En g land the affair would be less complicated , but M. Guizot had joined England in request in g the g reat Northern Powers to conclude the treaty in q uestion with France and Eng land; conseque ntl y , if the French Cabinet refused to ra tify the treaty whi ch it had p ro p osed itself to the great Northern Powers, the y would have the r i g ht to turn round and reproach Engla nd for havin g joined France in a p ro p osition which France herself n ow refused to acc e p t and thus England would be com promised with the g reat Northern Powers, in con is Lord Aberdeen then explained to M. de St. \ Aulaire that the reply of the British Government to M. Guizot's note must necessarily contain a formal disapproval of his conduct, and did not hesitate to say that he should lay this reply before the House of Commons : for (said Lord Aberdeen) if M. Guizot thought to strengthen his Parliamentary position by refusing to ratify the treaty, the English Cabinet also must take measures for its own justification to the English Parliament. His Lordship then urged M. de St. Aulaire to withdraw the note, which he would consider as not having been presented to him, and to inform M. Guizot that the better way to avoid complicating the question would be, to demand, in a simple note, without producing any reasons, that the protocol should be closed which had remained open for ratification on the part of France. By simply demanding the closing of the protocol without assign ing any-motives, M. Guizot would not have to fear any embarrassing reply from the English Cabinet, and the question would thus be cut short without any difficulty. M. Guizot followed the advice of Lord Aberdeen, in withdrawing his first note ; and then, a week since, forwarded to the English Cabinet another note, in which he demanded, without assigning any explana tion, the closing of the protocol, which actually took place on Monday last, Thus the non-ratification of the treaty of December 20, is now for ever consum mated. It now remains to be known whether the treaties of 1831 and 1833 will be maintained or not. I am able to inform you that it is the intention of M. Guizot to abrogate them, because the only chance of safety for the I rench Cabinet was the abolition for ever of the right of search. The most devoted adhe rents of the Cabinet, such as MM. Fulchiron, Jacque minot, Jacques Lefevre, and others, have already declared to M. Guizot that they will vote for the abo lition of the right of search in the forthcoming ses sion, so that M. Guizot had no alternative.—Corre spondent of the Post. TARIFF OF THE GERMAN COM- MERCIAL UNION. This paper, which has been so long expected, and upon the contents of which so many dreary fore bodings have been uttered by our manufacturers, has at last come to hand; and we are happy to say that the prognostications of evil so widely disseminated have proved almost entirely without foundation; in deed, we had hardly expected to have found the docu ment so harmless to British interests and commerce. The most important articles of British export are, with one exception (that of figured goods of mixed cotton and wool, such as mousseline de laine), left in almost the same situation in which they were placed by the last tariff; nor have our imports of iron been more affected, though it is quite evident that strenuous efforts had been made by various of the German States producing that article to procure the imposition of a heavier duty upon English iron of all sorts, and indeed almost one-half of this State paper is taken up with protocols and arguments for and against increasing the duties upon the two articles of cotton and iron. Fortunately, however, some of the most important and influential States of the Union saw the mischief that would be inflicted upon the general well-being of German commerce by an in creased tax, which would tend to cripple their own trade to a degree hardly to be foreseen ; and the con sequence was, that with the exception of the increase upon printed goods manufactured of a mixture of cotton and wool, the tariff is really very little altered. The following are the heads in whicn the present differs from the former scale of duties : centner' centner; ccntner, centner 1 centncrl 1 centner; 1 centnerl 1 centner' 1 ship's last, 376 cent ner ; or by rafts 75 cubic feet.

There was no necessity for going from one extreme to the other, and the intervallum is su ffi ciently broad be o r like nsg tween a Pember ton or a Follett, and a Ski N rendered it possible to have found vor a West, to have at least a suffi ciency of middling Commissioners, who been neither too high like the form should have of L th ei r latter too—but we must refer our readersformer, ge neral voice for the epithet. __, th to the l\ i i one or two ex ceptions, the best recommendation mn -1 bought;am estimate. I n i fact possessed by the new Commissioners is the being wholly unknown except to Lord makingnd hurst himself, whose private motives for the appointments, we do not for a moment doubt, ap peared to himself sufficiently weighty to justify his doing so. The appointees for whom the most can be said are—with about two reservations—those who have never been heard of before; and of these it may perhaps be said, that, though their lives have hitherto passed in obscurity, and their voices are seldom or never heard in Court, they are entitled to the encomium passed by the boy on his owl, and have been thinking the more on account of their silence. It is true that Mr. Charles Phillips is a man on whom there is no reason why an office with a good salary should not be be stowed, if he enly happened to fulfil one solitary and too often overlooked condition—that of being tit for it. His long and active professional life deserves re ward ; but unless the compensation of Old Bailey Barristers, as well as Six Clerks, had been the object of the recent Act, there was no excuse for making Mr. Charles Phillips a Commissioner under it. STANDARD.—During the last week the columns of the Opposition journals have been filled with com ments upon the appointments in the local courts of Bankruptcy ; the occasion was a tempting one, for as the new Judges were very naturally and very properly selected from different branches of the profession, somebody would find something to blame in the majority of those named, according as his notions led him to prefer • one or other de partment of the law. The prevailing complaint seems to have been, that the new Judges are not all equity lawyers —conveyancers, draughtsmen, pleaders in equity, &c. Now, for this complaint there is not the least reason. It is true that bank ruptcy has been for a long time under the jurisdiction of the Chancellor ; but it is no more on that account connected with the modification of the Roman law administered in our Equity Courts than it is with the care of lunatics, the appointment of justices of the peace, and the presentation to living.dona tives—all of which law and custom vest in the Chancellor. The fact is, that a Judge in Bank ruptcy chiefly requires to be a master of the law of evidence; if he has this qualification, and in forms himself sufficiently in the law which he is to administer, and which is a code sui genesis, and not administered in any other Court, he must be a good Judge in bankruptcy. NoW it has not been pre tended that any one of the gentlemen named in the new appointments is deficient in acquaintance with the law of evidence, or of habits likely to indispose him to learn that new code, which, we repeat it, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Abinger, or Sir William Follett himself must sit down to study as a new science, if called to administer justice in one of the new Courts. All that the Chan cellor could do was to select men who, having proved the possession of talent and industry by the attainment of eminence in the branch of the profession to which each had attached himself, gave warrant that they would bring talent and industry to the discharge of the new duties assigned to them. This the Chancellor has done, and it is matter of surprise that he has obtained for the ser vice of the public such men as he has obtained; surely it must be equally matter of surprise and regret, and an occasion of great discouragement to the young aspirant at the - bar, to see such a man as Sergeant Stephen, one of the most ac complished lawyers who ever ,wore a gown, sur rendering his profession for one of the new judge ships. The appointment of Mr. Charles Phillips has,. however, been, most eagerly seized upon as a topic of complaint. Mr. Phillips, it is said, is unfit, because he is merely a Crown lawyer, because he is a personal friend of Lord Brougham, and because he is a member of the Reform Club. Now it is not pre tended that Mr. Phillips is not a man of honour and of splendid talents, of great and varied accomplish ments, independent of those qualifications which • have raised him to the first rank in that de partment of his profession to which it is falsely asserted his practice has been con fined. We say falsely because Mr. Phillips has not practised exclusively in the Crown Courts. On the other hand, we believe that, taking into account his practice in both islands, there is no lawyer of his standing who has obtained more verdicts or more signal damages for his clients at Nisi Prius. Mr. Phillips's first essay in England is remarkable for the highest damages ever given in a common assault case ; and let it be rgniembered that Mr. Phillips obtained these damages from no less formidable an antagonist than Lord Abinger. So much for Mr. Phillips being a mere Crown lawyer. But what if he were ? The practice of the Crown Courts questionless affords the best discipline in the laW of evidence, and an ac quaintance with the law of evidence is the first re quisite for the office he holds. IRELAND. DonLIN, Nov. 12.—The two proprietors of news papers Dowell and Duffy, who were prosecuted by the late Attorney-General for seditious libels, and convicted —one by his own confession, the other upon trial in town, before the Lord Chief Justice—having made their submissions, and sued for pardon, have both been let off scot free by Mr. Smith, the new Chief law officer. They have had a good escape, but Mr. Smith has, think, I exercised a very wise and sound discre - • lion in the business. Mr. Holmes appeared yesterday as counsel for the traversers, and made their apologies, in very ample terms, before the Court. lie concluded by saying that he trusted these declarations u p on the part of the defendants would be satisfactory to the Crown and that the Attorney-General would not think it necessary to take any further proceedings in this upon case. The ATTORNEY-GENER AL said —My Lords, behalf of the Crown I have to state that the sole ob ject of these prosecutions was to rescue the adminis tration of justice from unmerited imputations. The av owals made by .the defendants appear to meet that object ; and it having now been admitted re that the pub lications which led to these prosecutions we the re- _ suit of excitement, and that in the commentaries undex which they were made, the defendants had exceeded those limits which the true circumstances of the trials referred to would have warranted, we do not conceive we are called on by that sense of public duty which alone actuated the law officers of the Crown to press for judgment upon the indictments—therefore we do not think it necessary to call up the defendants for jud 1 L o rdships did not make any observation.

HIGHWAY ROBBERIES NEAR lIALIFAX.—On Satur day night, as Mr. Bold, jun., of Ovenden, was return ing home from Halifax, son... persons fastened a rope across the road, near the Broad Tree Inn, which the horse stumbled at and fell over. Before Mr. Bold could get to his feet, he was seized upon by three men, who took his purse and gold watch, and then made off with the booty. On Monday night, about eight o'clock, as Mr. Charles Sloane was returning from Peat Pitts, in Ovenden, he was attacked by six men, who threw him down, and took all the money he had from him—taking at the same time such trifles as his penknife and snuff-box. No very ma t e rial damage was done to his person.--Manchester Guardian.
