FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The • notice which the Globe has already taken of the extraordinary prosecution instituted by the Right Honourable Viscount Frankfort de Montmorency against Alice Lowe, the unfortunate object of his Lordship's tempo rary " protection,' will lead our readers to ex pect that the trial of the prisoner and the ver dict of the jury will not be allowed to pass with out some parting remarks upon the extraordinary case as now presented by the proceedings. The trial of the prisoner appeared in the Globe of yesterday. Accustomed as Courts of Justice are to exhibitions of human vice and folly, we are not overstating the fact, when we say that those whom long experience has familiarised to such scenes were surprised by the account, given by the noble prosecutor himself, of his (share in the disgusting transactions he was compelled to narrate in attempting to establish a case against the prisoner. There is certainly no standard by which to ascertain the degrees by which indul gence in depravity renders the Individual im pervious to shame; but until the instance yes terday supplied by Lord Frankfort, it would have been regarded as a stretch of malicious invention to have imagined that a Peer—the representative of a long line of honourable an cestry—a Montmorency, whose proud boast it was, in the days when chivalric honour was cherished as the life-hlood of nobility, that they were les premiers barons Chretiens de l'Eu rope"—that such an one would have entered a Court of public justice, and have become the narrator of his own heartless profligacy—the herald of his own shame, while the finger of public scorn was pointed at his person, and shouts of plebeian exultation, which the authority of the Court could not restrain, hailed the defeat of the ignoble object lbr which this nobleman con sented to make himself a spectacle by the ac quittal of the less guilty and far less contemptible victim of his lordly persecution. STAN DARD.—We find in the columns of the Opposition journals, and in the columns of some journals too Unit generally support the Govern ment, loud complaints of the new orders issued by the Judges in Equity. We at once disclaim the pretence that we are qualified to form a cor rect judgment upon these complaints as respects the question of detail, but we think we see suffi cient to justify a doubt whether they are really as well founded rs at first sight they may appear. On the one side, the complainants are solicitors, who, like all other men, must dislike - a departure from the routine that they are accustomed to, and must be thought naturally to regard unfavourably the new or ders, because they are new, without illiberally supposing (what would be, we believe, unjust as well as-illiberal in reference to the great body of solicitors in equity) that a tendency to dimi nish the amount of bills of costs renders the novelty still more unpalatable. On the other side, we have the authors of the new orders; men of talent, learning, and experience, and of unspotted integrity, men who must be conscious that the public is earnestly bent upon an economical reform in the administration of every department of the law, and who have, in fact, as is notorious, for vears directed their attention to the subject. Such men may no doubt be mistalien in the remedies they pro pose, but surely they are less likely to be mis taken than a solicitor whose attention has been properly limited to the conduct of suits, it may be of a particular class, and it must be in a single office. The presumption, too, that the Judges are in the right, and the remomistrants in error, is greatly strengthened by the grounds of com plaint alleged—these grounds all concern the augmentation or particular fees or payments. Now this augmentation may, according to cir cumstances, be a great additional expense, or a very great saving to suitors. If it leave the ag gregate of items in a bill of costs unreduced—if it be accompanied by no provision for the abridg ment of the duration of suits—if it leave all other items undiminished or unexpunged—it is, of course, an addition of expense : but if, on the other side, it be a necessary part of a system, di minishing materially the number of heads of charge, and much accelerating the decision of causes, the augmentation must be extravagant indeed should not the whole system effect a con siderable saving. SIR WILLIAM GEARY. (From the Maidstone Journal of to-day.) It is with feelings of no common kind, that we convey to our numerous readers the satisfactory intel ligence contained in the bulletin below. It may con vey some idea of the anxiety which the medical men felt in this important ease, when we state, on the authority of Sir William Geary's family, that from the morning after the operation up to the present hour, he has not been .left one moment without the surveillance of one or other of his medical attendants. r :/),•,15 - SPAICEIL.—We regret to state that kt.g,„paniiie is sufferin g un d er so d ange r ous - a , ill nes s tine it cans the-greatest apprtbhensiontito arid-friends.

The author was present at a vehement discussion be tween him and Robert Hall. The latter, with his characteristic acuteness and volubility, fairly per- Flexed and not a little diSpleased his antagonist. uller's replies were slowly conceived, as well as slowly uttered, and stood little chance before the never-ceasing torrent of powerful reasoning, or con fusing eloquence, rapid words, and pungent satire, of his friend. He was at length compelled, in his own emphatic manner, to exclaim, " Well, brother Hall, I cannot answer you off-hand; but put it down on paper, and I will meet you."—Cox. LIBERAL BEQUESTS.—The will and four codicils of the late Hannah Waldo, late of Worthing, in the county of Southampton, widow, the relict of Peter Waldo, has passed the seal of the Prerogative Court to John Esq., the sole executor. This lady, who had lla attained s the age of nearly ninety, and vin whose charity whilst bring kneW no bounds, has not forgotten even in her last bequest those cha rities, as well as private individuals, amongst which may be noticed the following charitable bequests of 1001. each, free of legacy duty :—Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Philanthropic, Blind School, Magdalen Hospital, Middlesex Hospital, Orphan School, Westminster-road, Lying-in Hospital, Brown low-street, Clergy Orphan School, Regent's Park, St. Luke's Hospital, Ladies' Charity School, Snow-hill. The residue of her property, after several small lega cies and annuities to her servants, is bequeathed to her executor, John Hawkins ; the personal property of the deceased has been sworn under eighty thou sand pounds. BLACK GUARDS.—In all great houses, but particu larly in the Royal residences, there were a number of mean and dirty dependents, whose office it was to at.. tend the wood-yard, sculleries, &c. Of these (for in the lowest depth there was a lower still) the most forlorn wretches seem to have bee.ri selected to carry coals to the kitchen, halls, &c. To this smutty.regi ment, who attended the progresses, and rode in the carts with the pots and kettles, which, with every other article of furniture, were then moved from Palace to Palace, the people, in derision, gave them the name of Black Guards, a term since become suffi ciently familiar, and never before properly explained. —Gifford's Notes to Ben Jonson's Plays. CULTIVATIOIC OF THE COCOA-NUT.—The black labourers in the West Indies cultivate the cocoa-nut tree to a considerable extent. On many estates in Jamaica the negro is enabled to derive from cocoa-trees alone, cultivated in a small garden, an annual income of from 201. to 301. sterling. These cocoa •nut gardens afford the greatest advantage when near a town. Half a dozen of the trees will produce fruit to the value of 1/. to 3/. sterling per annum. From the general formation of society upon the estates, there are, for the most part, about one hundred householders on each property, and each of these usually varies in his possessions fro m two to a dozen or more cocoa nut trees, and c l a i ms them by inheritance. Upon the birth of each c hild, i n many instances, a fresh tree is planted, and it grows for a hundred years.

PARIS.—The Commerce states that " the super ficies of Paris contained within the present wall is 34,308,800 square yards. When the erceintee con tinue at present in progress of construction is com pleted, the superficies will be 267,558,000 square yards, nearly as great as the superficies of the City of London." The population of Paris, according to the census taken in 1841, amounted to 912,330 inhabitants. To which being added the troops of the garrison and strange r 3 would increase the population to 1,03.5,000. • SERIOUS ENCOUNTER. —AS John MEenzie, piper to the Marquis of I3readalbane, was one day last week on his way to the castle, about half-pzst nine, ho was attacked by one of the red deer, with which he had a severe struggle.

The unfortunate position of the parties who became purchasers of the Treasury bills of Spain, issued through the agency of Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, in 1836, has been often alluded to. A letter published _ _ in one of the Morning Papers of to-day, witli the sig nature of Sir Isaac attached to it, makes known the fact, and it is one with which the public are not at all familiar—that the worthy Baronet was made the me dium of another calamitous loan arrangement in the same year. Sir Isaac was, if this meeting be pro perly interpreted, for his anode of expressing himself is far from lucid, induced by the representations made to him at the period referred to, to get up a loan for Portugal, to the extent of about a million sterling. According to the terms entered into between Portu gal and Brazil, at the time of the separation of the co lony from the mother country, the former became responsible to the latter for a portion of her public debt. Sir Isaac says in his letter, which is addressed in the way of remonstrance to the Conseiller De Paiva Preira da Se, that he was assured, in treating, for the loan in question with Baron Moncorvo, him self, and Mr. Vanzeller, that " the claim of the Por tuguese Government upon Brazil was for 1,800,000/.; and that there was no doubt that the right to at least 800,0001. would be established." But Sir Isaac was further under the firm impression, and it is to this point he desires more particularly to call the atten tion of the Conseiller De Paiva Preira cla Sa, that the individuals named were " all convinced the Brazilian full powers tor the settlement of the debt would ar rive by the next o: by the succeeding packet, and that in a few months it would be settled and discharged. This last assurance was, he proceeds to observe, strongly urged as a reason why he might " with per fect confidence enter into the proposed contract," and on this ground it was that he of his own accord stated, that although it was an invariable rule for a Govern ment raising money on loan not to exercise the power of redemption below par yet in this instance, as the account would be so speedily settled, he would consent to fix 90 per cent. as the price for redemption. The upshot of the matter appears to be this. Sir Isaac was, in the Portuguese-Brazilian arrangement, Made a cat's-paw of, pretty much in the same way that he was in the Spanish Treasury bond matter with which he allowed himself to be mixed up in the same year of 1836. Portugal suspended payment of her dividends almost as soon as she got the money out of British pockets, and Brazil has never from that time to theyresent come to any settlement at all. It re sults that there is clue to the bondholders at interest, there being, out of eleven dividends payable from June, 1837, to December, 1842, four discharged and one advertised, 211. 55., which, added to the capital at the redemption price of 90 per cent., gives to the holder a claim of 1111. ss. on each 1001. bond. This liability it is proposed by the Portuguese and Bra zilian authorities to get rid of by an issue of bonds at the rate of 85 per cent., the only reason that can be assigned for taking those high figures as a standard in the case, being that such was the value of a Brazilian bond years back, when the business was first brought under discussion. The bondholders ask, and with much reason, why, after being grievously prejudiced by the bankruptcy of Portugal, and the deception practised, they should have thrust upon them, in dis charge of the Portuguese obligation, a Brazilian bond at the price of 85 per cent., which will fetch, at the market value of the day, no more than 55 ? Upon this principle there would he a confiscation of 30 per cent., and Sir Isaac, with an energy greatly becoming a man in the situation in which he is placed, com plains of the contemplated injustice, for such it un questionably is; but the injustice committed by Spain in the Treasury bond affair is, it must be al 7 lowed, incomparably more gross and outrageous. The Treasury bonds were redeemable instruments, having but six and twelve months to run in the man ner of bills of exchange, and payment of them was actually advertised in the London journals, but the holders never got their money. Not a fraction of either the principal or interest was ever paid them, whereas. the holders of the Portuguese bonds, under Sir Isaac's contract of 1836, have already received four dividends, while a fifth is advertised for payment. And yet, in the case of the wretched Treasury bond dupes of Spain, nothing in the shape of a remon strance, or even of a complaint, has ever emanated from the pen of Sir Isaac. The sufferers would be thankful for an exposition of all the circumstances and instructions under which the Spanish Treasury bills were ushered into circulation ; but Sir Isaac turns a deaf ear to their applications for them, and there is no document whatever before them to show that he has ever once raised his voice against the shameful fraud which, through his influential and re spectable name, was practised upon them. Sir Isaac, to be of any service to his clients in the case of Portugal and Brazil, 'should afford some proof of his zeal, consistency, and impartiality, as the gene ral course of action. The first of the ensuing month will, he is reminded, complete the sixth anniversary of the Spanish Treasury bill delusion. The Portuguese Government seems disposed to quarrel with the bondholders, on the ground that, in their endeavours to obtain an adjustment of their claims, they have been over-urgent, as if, indeed, they were the wrong-doers in the case. Sir Isaac meets the insinuation in the following manner : " Is it not rather hard that the bondholders should be subjected to the imputation conveyed by your let ter, when, after being assured at the outset that the redemption would take place in a few months, they have waited for it six years with a patience almost unexampled, and when their recent remonstrances have been directed, not to Portugal, but to the. Bra zilian Government ?" The interrogatory will admit of but one reply. It is extremely hard, and in fact disgusting; but, on a comparison of the two cases, there is again this material distinction to be made in favour of Sir Isaac's Spanish constituency. The Treasury bondholders have payment stipulated for on a given date under the authority of the Queen and Cortes, but in the instance of Portugal there is no stipulation, no specific pledge whatever. All was left to vague indefinite assurance.—Post. EFFECTS OF BAD TRADE ON THE PROVISION MARKET . The Dublin Evening Mail, of Wednesday last, in an article on the panic in the provision trade, remarks, that " the suspension of business in the manufacturing districts of England" is, no doubt, one great cause of the present depression in the prices of agricultural produce; and it very naturally anticipates, that " the Corn. law repealing party will therefore contend, that the injury done to the agricultural interest by a stag nation of manufacturing industry, is greater than would result from the repeal of our remaining pro tecting duties." That its anticipations on this head will be amply verified, we firmly believe ; and we must confess, that we hardly know a better argument for convincing a farmer of the injury he suffers by the food monopoly, than the one alluded to by the Mail. We are continually hearing statements about the cheapness of food, in consequence of Sir Robert Peel's tariff; but we feel persuaded, that, in manyinstances, the fall in prices is entirely owing to the extreme po verty of the labouring classes. It would be easy to bring abundance of proof in support of our opinion on this head : we shall, however, merely direct attention to the enormous falling-off which has lately taken place in the importation of sheep and pigs into this country from Ireland. We learn from Porter's " Progress of the Nation," that, in 1832, the number of sheep imported into Liver pool from Ireland was 98,337 ; of pigs, 149,090 ; and that, during the years of manufacturing prosperity which succeeded that period, this branch of traffic con tinued steadily to increase up to 1837, in which year our imports into Liverpool. were—sheep, 225,050 ; pigs, 595,422. What the amount of our annual im portations have been since that period, we have not been able to ascertain ; but we have now before us an account of the total number of cattle imported into Liverpool from Ireland, in 1842, up to the 24th Oct. inclusive, from which it appears that there have been only 145,582 pigs, and 108,543 sheep. For the pur pose of comparison, let us suppose that importation, during the remaining ten weeks of the present year, goes on at the same rate ; and the arrivals in 1842, as compared with 1837, will be— 1837. 1842. Decrease. Sheep 225,050 133,332 91,718 Pigs 595,422 172,688 422,734 Now, in the face. of such evidence as this, which is merely a sample of what might be furnished, is it not utterly absurd to attribute any considerable share of the late reduction in the price of provisions to the working of the new tariff? We observe that the country gentlemen are still most indefatigable in their efforts to persuade the farmers that there is not the slightest reason to be alarmed about either the new sliding scale or the tariff. Per haps they are not very far wrong in the observations they make on that head ; but the facts we have stated, as to the falling off in the consumption of animal food in the manufacturing districts, will show that no tariff will protect the farmers from ruin, if the manufactur ing population should become so impoverished as to be unable to purchase food.—Manchester Guardian. [Query.—Have the landlords no sinister interest in endeavouring to persuade the farmers that there is not the slightest reason to be alarmed ? Will not the fanners promise high rents in proportion to their con fidence in future high prices ? Do they not believe that prices depend on the land ? Can those who wish to hire land have, on such a question, less disinterested advisers than those who have land to let? We beg:n to suspect that the landowners have a deep design in propagating these doctrines, and it may be advisable that the farmers should nourish the same kind of sus picion.—ED. Sun.] Accounts from the country state that the winter has set in with great severity, and that such keen frost and heavy falls of snow have not occurred in the month of October for many years. STEAM-BOAT COMPANIES. Notwithstanding the immense numbers who have been conveyed by steam during the present year, up and down the river, exceeding that of any former season from the commencement of steam navigation on the Thames, some of the Companies have realised no profits, others have met with severe losses, and two have been dissolved. This result has been caused by the competition, the low fares, and the number of passages made by the various steamers. The Old Commercial Steam-packet Company, the Shareholders belonging to which have sustained great losses, was dissolved some weeks since, and another one esta blished on its ruins. A ?few days since, at the annual meeting of the Shareholders of the Star Gravesend Steam-packet Company, whose splendid vessels have been running many years, it was agreed upon that, in consequence of the severe losses that had been sustained by the ruinous competition that had so long been kept up, the Company should be dissolved, and a Committee was appointed to wind up the affairs of the - concern, sell the vessels, and effect other arrangements for the be.. nefit of the unfortunate Shareholders who have not received any dividend for two years, and are consider ably in debt. It was stated that toll had been received for 263,264 passengers at the Terrace Pier, Gravesend, conveyed to and from London in the Star steamers; but that a return to the old fares, 2s. in the after cabin, and Is. 6d. in the fore cabin only, was likely to be remunerative to any of the numerous Steam-boat Companies running vessels between Gravesend and London. Neither the Diamond nor any other of the Gravesend CoMpanies are likely to pay any dividend this year. Last year one of the Greenwich Steam • boat Companies was dissolved, and the vessels dis posed of to Mr. Nicholson at a great sacrifice. The old Greenwich Steam-packet Company, who have built two new vessels, have carried an unusual number of passengers during the fine summer, but are upwards of 6,0001. in debt, and there will be no dividend this year. The shares of the old Woolwich Steam-packet Company, who launched a new boat in the summer, have been selling at an alarming discount, and they have lately discharged the crews of four of their boats. The Greenwich Company have laid up five of their vessels for the winter season, and dismissed the crews. The most successful Steam-boat Companies on the Thames are the Watermen's and the iron steamers above bridge. Both concerns paid a dividend of ten per cent. List year out of their actual profits, and the Watermen's Company also laid by a reserved fund of 5001., and gave a donation of 50 guineas to their almshouses at Penge for distressed watermen and ligherinen. This year the Watermen's Company will again declare a - dividend of 10 per cent., and lay by a reserved fund, and intend to run seven boats during the whole of the winter between the Adclphi pier and Woolwich, and to launch Waterman No. 8 in the beginning of De cember. The Iron Steam-boat Company will also declare a dividend equal to the amount of last year. The two concerns last named have not been in exist ence many years, and the public, it will be seen, pre , fer the nPw and fast boats to the old ones. The Ge neral Steam Navigation Company, with their immense fleet of vessels,' which proceed to all arts of the Con tinent, and stand's at the head of the Steam-boat Com panies, are going on as prosperously as ever, and their receipts this year have been enormous, while casualties have become very rare. The General Steam Navigation Company intend building additional ves sels, to be launched in the spring of next year. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A well-dressed gentleman, accompanied by a num ber of friends, and attended professionally by Mr. Chambers and Mr. Hobler, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with being a deserter from the service of the Hon. East India Company. Acting under the advice of his counsel, the accused refused to give his name when requested to do so by the chief clerk, Mr. Fitzpatrick. Mr. Clarkson, who attended on behalf of the East India Company, acquainted Mr. Hardwick that he should produce evidence to prove that the gentleman at the bar was Captain Archibald Douglas, of the 49th Native Infantry ; that he had received leave of absence from Tanjore to go to the Neilgherry hills, and that availing himself of this circumstance, he had made his way to England in the Reliance merchant man, under the assumed name of Jackson. Having satisfactorily established the identity of Captain Douglas, it would be his duty to ask for his com• mittal as a deserter from the Hon. East India Com pany's Service. Mr. Clarkson called a clerk in the India House, who proved that a sum of 1,0001. East India Stock was transferred by Captain Archibald Douglas about a fortnight ago. the transfer-book was signed Archi bald Douglas, and witness believed that the accused was the party who had transferred the stock. Police constable Hughes, A division, said he went according to instructions to No. 250, Piccadilly, on Saturday afternoon, and asked if Captain Douglas was there. He was shown to the back of the shop, and the defendant came forward and answered to the name of Douglas. Witness told him he had authority to apprehend him as a deserter from the East India Company's service. Defendant replied it was not a matter of desertion, as he was on leave of absence from his regiment. 'Witness then took him into custody. Mr. Chambers contended that the identity was not sufficiently established. Mr. Clarkson maintained that the identity was be yond question, and if the Magistrate would consent to a remand for a few days, he should be prepared with a more complete chain of evidence than the short time since the defendant's capture had allowed to be collected. Mr. Chamebrs remarked that it would be dangerous to act upon such incomplete legal evidence as that be fore the Bench. If this was allowed, then it was pos sible to use the power for political objects. Mr. HARDWICK remarked that his duty appeared to be that of a Grand Juror. Ile was not to try the merits of the charge, but only to ascertain if there was sufficient legal evidence to justify him in committing the accused for trial. Mr. Clarkson said this was precisely his view of the case. Some further argument between the respective counsel took place, and it was ultimately arranged that the defendant should be remanded till Friday next, to procure the attendance of the captain of the Reliance, and other parts of the evidence, sufficiently to place the defendant's identity beyond legal doubt. Mr. Fitzpatrick accordingly took down the evidence of the policeman and the clerk of the East India House, and further proceedings were postponed till Friday next. It was stated that the defendant, in addition to his commission, held the important civil appointment of Resident ahanjore. HORRID DEATII.—An inquest was held on Tues day last by Griffith Jones, Esq., Coroner for the County of Merioneth, on the body of John Roberts, lime-burner to Edward Owen, Esq., of Gartliyngha red, when it appeared that John Jones had, on the morning of Monday, the 24th inst., been in company with the deceased, drawing lime from the kiln at Garthisaf, and that on his return from breakfast he found John Roberts in the centre of the kiln, plunged up to his knees in the burning lime. He was in an upright position, with his hands raised above his head The body appeared a complete burning mass ; and on a chain being passed round the trunk, it was dragged out, charred to a cinder. A large iron bar, used for poking the lime from the kiln, was resting near de ceased; but there was no evidence to show how he had fallen into the kiln. Verdict—" Accidental death." The deceased was sixty years of age, but had not long taken to the lime business.—Carnarvon Herald. PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.—The annual exhibition of this body took place yesterday at the Amphithea tre, as a prelude, we suppose, to the Municipal elec tion on Tuesday next. There was, as usual, a nu merous attendance of the Irish clergy and their allies —as usual, the rectors, and the great body of the Eng lish clergy were absent—and, also, as usual, the greater portion of the audience consisted of females. The Chairman, Dr. Tattersall, made the wonderful disco very that the recent change of Ministry was the im mediate work of Almighty God. We must, in charity, suppose that the Rev. Gentleman is wholly ignorant of the extent to which bribery and corruption were carried at the las general election. The assertion was blasphemous, and really, we do not see that much less can be said of the notion of Dr. Tattersall, that Peel is Prime Minister by the especial grace of God, and not by virtue of his own double dealing. The next speaker was the Rev. H. M‘Neile. A mighty change has come over the spirit of his dream., We all re member how lustily he shouted " No Popery" at for mer meetings of the kind—how bitterly he denounced the Whig Ministers for continuing the grant to May nooth College—for their scheme of national education, and how vigorously he called for the repeal of the Emancipation Act. Nov mark the change : he is silent about repeal ; he no longer comes forward to the front of the stage and shouts " No Popery ;" a n d he seems to think that, though the Whigs were s uc h terrible heathens for doing certain things, their To r y successors may do exactly the same without exposing themselves to the slightest risk of similar denuncia tions.—Liverpool Mercury. On Wednesday, the new station on the Greenwich railway, communicating with the Thames Tunnel at the Spa-road, was completed, and will be opened for traffic on Sunday next. By a clause in the Company's Act, it is provided that the trains shall stop twice a day for the conveyance of passenger s t o an d f rom t hi s place, but the traffic, it is conceived, will render it n.; Cessary that the trains should stop more frequently. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BLACKBURN.-011 Saturday night a fire broke out in the extensi v e m ill o f M r . Joseph Eccles, Darwin-stre e t, Blackburn. Not withstanding every exertion was used to check the flames, the whole building was burned to the ground. The books, Scc., were with difficulty saved. The damage is estimated at from 30,0001. to 40,0001. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. NOTICE. TO MARINERS. LIGHT-HOUSE AT PENICHE. Custom-House, Lisbon. Oct. 24, 1542.
