ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. (C on tinued from onr Afternoon Editio n of Saturday.) In a short time the Lord Ma y or, Sheriffs, Alder- \ men, and officers returned into the hall, The RECORDER having declared that the choice of the Court of Aldermen had fallen upon Mr. Alderman Farncombe, an announcement which was received with loud cheers ; and Mr. Alderman FARNCOMBIE, having been called upon to accept the office, advanced to the front of the platform,. and was received with loud cheers. Lie said—Geeftlemen of the Livery, I have to thank you, sad that very sincerely, for the great honour you have conferred upon me by electing me to the office of Lord Mayor; and be assured of this, that it will be my most earnest endeavour so to conduct myself as to do my duty faithfully and zealously, and I trust to the satisfaction of the citizens of London. — (Cheers.) I feel the great responsibility of the office which I now take upon myself; but I beg again to say that I shall conduct myself eo as to do everything connected with it satisfactorily.—(Cheers.) I thank you very sincerely, gentlemen, for the choice you have made.—(Loud cheers.) The ceremony of investing the Lord Mayor elect with a new massive gold chain was then performed by the mace-bearer, and on presenting himself with it en he was received with loud cheering. Mr. Dinnori then came forward and said, the pleas ing duty devolved upon him of moving, on the part of the citizens of London, a vote of thanks expressing their admiration of the conduct of Sir James Duke, the present Lord Mayor, while in office.—(Cheers.) His term of office had not yet expired, but that was the only occasion on which the citizens of London could meet for the purpose of expressing their sense of his conduct. He was unused to the language of adulation, and he should not then attempt to give ex pression to it ; but he thought it was for their benefit and advantage, and not for the advantage of an individual merely, that public men when they well discharged their duties, should have their conduct praised and acknowledged by those who had the benefit of their ministrations.—(Cheers.) Ile thought it well that their right conduct should be acknowledged—well for the electors, well for their friends, their families and connexions ; but he thought it more important still that their successors in office should know that if they did right and faithfully per formed their duties, they (the Liverymen) were as ' ready to acknowledge the excellence of their conduct as they would be to censure it if it deserved censure. —(Cheers.) Well, then, every acknowledgment was due to Sir James Duke for the way in which he had performed the duties of chief magistrate. — (Cheers.) As far as he had observed himself and collected from others, he had discharged those duties ably, impartially, and in a way to give satis faction to the country, and to support the adminis tration of justice.—(Cheers.) His support of the different charities in the City had been extensive and munificent, and he (Mr. Dillon) had an opportunity of seeing on a recent occasion, when an awful die pensation of Providence appeared among them, that their chief magistrate was the first who offered himself for the purpose of arresting, so far as human means would allow, the progress of the fearful epidemic. They owed him their thanks for his able, his independent, and his .prompt conduct on that occasion. —(Cheers.) They owed him their thanks also (and he was now coining to a tender point) for what the citizens would say entitled him to it, viz his munificent hospitality ; and it was to his praise perhaps, that he had been impartial ; ha had not se lected men merely of his own opinions, or of his own sect, or of his own party, but had opened his doors to the distinguished men of all political and all religious opinions ; and they owed him their thanks not only for that, but for having on one occasion entertained in his civic mansion men distinguished in literature, science, and art, thus showing the intimate connexion of city hospitality and the encouragement of everything great and good, which tended to enlighten and improve mankind.— (Cheer...) For these reasons he thought the mayor alty of Sir James Duke had been a very distinguished one, and therefore he begged to move the following resolution : " Resolved unanimously—That the thanks of this Common Hall be cordially given to the Right Hon. Sir James Duke, Lord Mayor, and one of the Re presentatives of this City in Parliament, for the up right, firm, and judicious discharge of his magis terial duties ; for the generous and liberal support he has given to the numerous public charities and reli gious institutions of this great metropolis; for his prompt and able efforts to alleviate the effects of the prevailing epidemic; for his munificent and princely hospitality, not only to his fellow-citizens at large, but to the distinguished and able men of all parties in the state, and to all those remarkable in the country for their eminence in arts, science, and literature ; while at the same time he has been accessible and courteous to all,: and this Common Hall further de sires to express their hope that the confidence which has recently been reposed in Sir James Duke by his unanimous election as one of the Members of Parlia ment for this City, will not only be fully justified by a zealous desire to support the rights and privileges of his fellow citizens, and to render himself useful to the various important interests connected with the trade, commerce, and shipping of this great city, but that he will consistently and independently use his best endeavours to promote liberal principles of go vernment, and the general welfare of the country at large." Mr. Deputy OBBARD briefly seconded the re solution. Mr. Sheriff FINNIS put it to the meeting, and it was carried by great acclamation. The Loan Marcia acknowledged the compliment in the following terms : Gentlemen, I appear before you with feelings of great gratitude for the very kind manner in which you have been pleased to appreciate the humble benefits I have endeavoured to render you as the Lord Mayor of this city.—(Bear, hear.) - While I have been sensible of the high honour you conferred upon me on this day twelve months my experience has shown to me that it is an office of great responsibility, great labour, and very great anxiety ; and if I have under those circumstances discharged my public duties, and upheld the ancient dignity and hospitality of this great city in such a manner as to meet with your approbation, I shall retire from the office of Lord Mayor with feelings of extreme satisfaction and gratitude for the support I have received from all classes of my fellow citizens.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, you have also been pleased to refer to the proud position which you and and the electors of London have recently unanimously conferred upon me ; and though I fear that you will suffer from the want of one who can eloquently represent your views in the House of Commons, yet I trust that sr shall be able to make amends for that deficiency by directing a constant and zealous atten tion to those great interests connected with the city of London, whether it be its commerce, its trade, or its chi 'wing. Gentlemen, I can promise you that at all tim4s you will find me ready to attend to your wishes, to give effect to your representations, and do everything in my power to justify the high confidence you have reposed in me.—(Hear, hear.) And if, gentlemen, acting a straightforward part, and having no selfish views or considerations of my own to pro mote, and though I cannot expect that those gentle men who differ with me upon political principles will give me their support, yet I do venture to hope that when the time !arrives for me again to present myself before you as a candidate for your suf frages, that I shall not have suffered in your estimation—that I shall have shown you that I have ever been most anxious to deserve and justify the confidence which you reposed in me when I stood here as a candidate for the representation of the city of London in Parliament.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, again I can only assure you that the experience I have had of my high office gives me an additional desire to show my gratitude to you, because I believe that no gentleman who has filled the office of Lord Mayor has been more encouraged than I have been, and therefore I beg not only to thank you for the very flattering vote you have this day conferred on me, but for your courteous support during the difficult and arduous duties which your kindness has imposed upon me.— (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, again I beg to thank you for your generosity, and I assure I shall carry wile me, I feel, to the last hour of my existence, a grateful tense of the notice, kindness, and favour shown tome during the past year by the citizens of London. Mr. A.NDERTON then came forward and propose d a v ote of thanks to the late Sheriffs Finnic and Goodhart, whose conduct in the discharge of their important duties during the past year eulogised. The offi ce seehe highly sheriff had never been better filled, though undertaken the at a very short notice; they had well seconded and liberality ad of the Lord Mayor to their charities,shown the non h utmost hospitality, of which had more than himself.—(Laughter.) Helihedietaerteahow ken that he was grateful.—(Hear,) He agreed with Mr. Taylor, that the citizens should possess the full control of their fund, and have a free and untram melled voice in the election of their magistrates. Mr. Deputy BEDFORD seconded the vote of thanks. Mr. R. TAYLOR came forward, and in the course of a few remarks offered by him he said, as the purse committed to the custody of the Chamberlain be longed to the whole of the citizens, that officer should be elected by the whole of the citizens. He cordially supported the motion. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. Sheriff FINNIS returned thanks, and said it was a matter of sincere congratulation to him that he had not been called upon, in his year of office, to carry out the extreme sentence of the law upon any criminal. This was a very satisfac tory result in a large metropolis like London ; but at the same time he wished to state that be could not, conscientiously vote for the abolition of capital punishment. His experience at the Central Criminal Court convinced him that the adniiniatration THE SUN, LONDON , 'MONDAY _ EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1849 , of justice there must be altered to some extent. Cases were brought there which should have been summarily dealt with instead of the citizens being put to the trouble and expense of prosecuting minor offenders.—(Hear.) Mr. Sheriff GOODEIART also expressed his acknow ledgments, and said he had been so much supported and strengthened in his duties by the Lord Mayor, that he hoped when they both retired into private life, he should long enjoy the honour of his friendship. The Court, which towards the conclusion of the interesting proceedings became very full, was then formally adjourned. AUSTRIA. A number of Hungarian prisoners arrived at Pesth ' on the 16th, escorted by a strong military force ; among them was the mother of Kossuth. Count Casimir Batthyani and M. Szemere, two Ministers of Kossuth, have, according to the Breslau Gazette, arrived at Belgrade. The Cologne Gazette publishes the following from Grmfenberg of the 20th :—" The Austrian Minister, Count Stadion, who had been here for some days drinking the waters, went last evening into the forest, and as he had not returned at night alarm was felt, and twenty men carrying torches were sent to look after him, but they were not successful. The next morning the search was resumed, and the Count was found trembling with cold. He had been all night in the %Nen air. The state of his mind causes serious disquie SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette publishes the names and ad dresses of individuals arrested in clandestine gambling houses. In one of the last batches figures the name of one of the parochial clergy of the capital ; but his reverence, says the Pais, pretended that he had gone to convert sinners. Nevertheless the police took him into custody. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette.) ENORMOUS INHERITANCE. —It is Said in quarters likely to be accurately informed upon the subject, that Lieutenant-Colonel Gold, her Majesty's 4th (King's Own) Regiment, now stationed at Portsmouth, will pro bably come into possession of the enormous wealth left by Mr. Charles Bullen, the late banker of Liverpool. The property is said to amount to between five and six millions sterling. We hope the rumour of the good fortune that has befallen the Lieutenant-Colonel may prove to be well-founded. He is an officer who enjoys the respect of all who have the happiness to be under his command. STAFF OFFICERS OF PENSIONERS.-4t is understood that the Secretary-at-War has referred the memorial to which we alluded last week to his Grace the Com mander-in-Chief, with whom rests the solution of the question of the apportionment of rank to the Subaltern Staff Officers. It is doubtful, however, if the Duke can do anything in the matter, however willing he may be, without the further authority of a special warrant. It will thus remain with the Secretary-at-War to recom mend such warrant to her Majesty, and there can be little doubt that Mr. Fox Manta will readily exert him self on this point. He never had a more deserving body of officers to serve. THE DAY OF PRAYER AND HUMILIATION AT THE ADMIRALTY ESTABLISHMENTS.—We have much plea sure in announcing that the Lords of the Admiralty have signified to the heads of their respective establishments at the home ports that nothing is to be deducted from the weekly wages of the men of the dockyards on ac count of those days of cessation from labour which were appropriated to prayer, fast, and humiliation, as a national propitiation fur the awful visitation of the cholera. The Lieutenant-Governorship of Carisbrooke Castle is abolished, in consequence of the death of Sir W. Patterson. Captain Maitland, half ply Royal Staff Corps, i 3 Town Major at Portsmouth, vice Major Lysons, 23d Foot. Assistant Commissary-General Greig has arrived in England from Halifax, Nova Scotia, on three months' leave of absence, on the recommendation of a medical board. Colonel Bush, K.H., Inspecting Field Officer of the Leeds Recruiting District, has proceeded on leave of absence. ADMIRAL LORD COLVILLE.—WO are authorised in stating that Admiral Lord Colville has had no recent increase of illness, as reported, but still continues in the same suffering state under which he has been confined to his house in Portland -place for the last twelve months. THE COMMANDERS' OUT-PENSION OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—The Commanders' Out-pension of Green wich Hospital, vacant by the decease of the Senior Com mander on the list, has been bestowed on Commander William Hutchinson (1827), a most distinguished officer, and who was severely wounded in Lord Howe's action of the Ist of June. Tus (.34..-vr /LINE,' ApPourrme.wr TO GREENWICH HOS PITAL.—Captain Aaron Tozer having declined the ap pointment to the establishment of Greenwich Hospital, vice Branch, deceased, Captain William Cuppage (1830) has now been selected to fill the vacancy. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) The transactions in the Mining Share market have proved above the usual average amount, and much more would have boon done if sellers could have been found at fair market prices. The advance in the standard for copper ore, and the firmness of the metal market, toge ther with the very general improvements which have taken place in our leading mines, present a highly satis factory and encouraging prospect for those who invested when the market prices were quoted so low, and con tinued so for many months. In some instances shares have advanced from 20 to 40 per cent. on the market prices, exclusive of the dividends that have subse quently been paid. These results have created a consi derable degree of confidence in the mining interest gene rally, as to the safety of investments in our leading and legitimately managed mines. Great Cons , ,lidated shares have been in request at late quotations, and done at our present. The mine has made a profit of nearly 8001. for the last two months and is now stated to have very much improved. Trelawny and Trehane are represented as having improved, and buyers have appeared at advanced prices. In Bedford United and Mendip hills many shares have changed hands. In consequence of the very considerable discoveries at Treviskey and Barrier, in the 236 and 248 fm. levels, the shares have been sought for and business done at advanced prices. Buyers are also to be found for South Basset, North Pool, South Frances, East Wheal Rose, and other leading mines. The continued improvements at Birch Tor and Vitifer Mines have created considerable local inquiries for these shares, and sellers are firm at advanced prices. Tincrofte were much in demand yesterday, and some business done at an advance on quotations generally given. Shares in the following mines have been done during the week:—Devon Great Consols, Esst Wheal Rose, Tincroft, Great Consolidated Mines, Treleigh Consols, Bedford United, Trelawny, Mary Ann, South Wheal Josiah, Trehane, Camborne Consols, Stray Park, King sett and Bedford, Birch Tor and Vitifer, West Provi dence, Hennock Lead, Treviskey and Barrier. At the Treviskey and Barrier meeting a dividend of 4/. per share in Treviskey was declared, reserving a balance in hand of 861. 13s. Id., with ore bills becoming due. The profit for the months of June and July is shown at 4581. 84. 9d. In Barrier the loss on the two months is about 211.; the balance now due to the purser amounting to 90Z 4s. 10i. The agent's report of the mine is highly encouraging; the 248 and 236 fin. levels, and a winze communicating the same, are represented as being very productive; 350 tons of ore were sampled on the 19th for July and August, and 350 tons were an ticipated for September and October. At the Great Polgooth meeting the accounts showed —tin sold in August and :_•'eptember, 5,2451. 8;. I 1d.,1 leaving a balance to credit, including balance of last account, 1,460/. 7s. sd. A dividend of 4/ 10s. per share was declared, leaving balance to credit, 3081.75. sd. At the West Downs meeting, there appeared a balance against the mine of 2011. 4s. 4d., and a call of ss. per share was made. At the Great Rough Tor meeting the financial state ment showed a balance of 2741. 10s. 9d. against adven turers, to discharge which, and for current operations, a call of 21. per share was declared. The captain's report holds out encouragement, more particularly in the eastern part of the mine, where the prospects are more favourable—the lode in he the 45 fm. level producing good stones of ore, with indications of an improvement; in extending the cross-cut towards the north lode, en couragement is given by frequent intersections of small branches of ore, which are received as favourable omens. At the Bryn-ar-ian meeting, the accounts were audited to end of Aug., leaving balance of 43/. against the mine ; a call of 103. per share was made. Tho agent's report represents the lode in the 12 fin. level worth from 51. to 12l 10s. per fin.; and in a 10 fm. level, east and west of the engine-shaft, the lode is producing one ton per fin. The stopes have also been productive; and the necessary machinery is erected, and the mine considered in an efficient state of working. IMPORTANT CASE UNDER TILE COUNTY COURTS ACT —Yesterday, in acase " Shirley v. King," tried in the City Sheriff's (Small Debts) Court, a question was raised as to the right of the plaintiff to split a debt. The action was brought on a promissory note for 31. The original debt was 91., for which defendant had given three pro , missory notes of 31. each. His Honour, Mr. Commis sioner Bullock, held that the giving different notes did not nT take the case out of the rule as to splitting the debt, non suited, e plaintiff must either give up the 61. or be non fulhaanmdowuanitt. till all the notes became due, and sue fur the i 'T he plaintiff elected to be nonsuited. THE lIINCKFORD AGRICULTURAL AND CONSERVA• TIVE CLUB.-Mr. Disraeli, we find, intends t o be present at t'ie meeting of this club on Friday next. The great Parliamentary leader of the Country party will be on a visit to Sir John Tyrell's, at Boreham•house, in the course of next week, and has promised to accompany the Hon. Baronet to the festival, in consequence of which the arrangements for the banquet have been made on an extended scale. The old .baronial hall of Hedingham Castle, which still remains in as substantial a state as when it echoed with the festivity of its lords of old, is to be fitted up for the occasion, being capable of dining some hundreds; and there can be no doubt, looking to the oratorical fame and the political standing of the cele brated visitor, that it will be filled to overflowing by the gentry and agriculturists of this and the adjacent country. —Chelmsford Chronicle. ,o of attended the rei e before y jg- orv:e:ri r :f POLICE INTELLIGENCE WORSHIP-STREET. .B g e r t e s e oz, u o i n ii e on Arnold, to answer a complaint preferred against hit , l see l‘ r l s r. of F ß ra e i t ' li ci n s al of having unlawfully refused to furnish propel: to three female orphans named Wells, varyirrs in w ee from four to eight years, the children 01 parents hr )th of whom had recently fallen victims to cholera, The complaint was preferred by an :slant at he children, a woman named Sarah Cheverill, the wife of a weaver in distressed circumstances, from whs . )se statement it appeared that the parents of the little girls, who then lodged in one of the most confined and filthy streets in the parish of Shoreddtch, were attacked, about three weeks since, by cho lera, and having died almost at the same time. the medical gentleman who had been in at tendance upon them in their last moments recom mended the immediate removal of the children to a more healthy locality, lest they should fall victims also. She (the applicant) consented, under the me lancholy circumstances, to receive them, and trans ferred them to the residence of her husband, in Wilmot-street, Bethnal-green • but as they were very impoverished themselves, tinA incapable of perma nently providing for the children, she was obliged about a week ago to apply to the parish authorities for assistance, and requested the overseer either to afford them some outdoor relief or admit the little girls into the workhouse. The overseer refused to do either, intimating that she had voluntarily brought the burden of the children's maintenance upon her own shoulders by unnecessarily introducing them into a parish where they had no legal settlement, and as several subsequent applications for something to be done for them bad met with no better result, she was compelled at last to come to this court to obtain the magistrate's intervention on behalf of the orphans, as her husband was incapable of keeping them any longer. In answer to these allegations the overseer stated, that he did not conceive he should be justified, or ful filling hie duties properly to the ratepayers of an already overburdened locality, in affording the relief demanded in such a case, without the express sanction of the board of guardians, as the children had no clisim whatever upon the parish they bad been brought to, and had, in fact, as he believed, already received some assistance from the parish authorities of Mile end, whes'e, he understood, they had lived for a short time since the death of their parents under the care of another relative. The aunt of the children, more over, had been subjected to ,the customary examina tion at the office of the vestry-clerk, with the view to eliciting their real place of settlement, but she was either unable or unwilling, he could not say which, to furnish the requisite information on the subject, and he therefore considered himself fully warranted in refusing the woman's application for relief until he was put in possession of sufficient particulars to enable him to pass the children in due form to the parish which was legally amenable to them. Mr. ARNOLD was willing to believe that the over seer had acted in the matter in accordance with what he :ttelieved to be the strict line of his duty, but he felt ,satisfied, at the same time, that the board of guardians would be anxious to see a considerate view taken where such a melancholy calamity had occurred, and he must say that he thought it would be a cruel case if three poor helpless children, who had been so suddenly (?eprived of both their parents by such a terrible visitation, should b 3 refused any kind of relief. Whether the little girls really belonged to Bethnal-green or not, it was manifest that they were at all events at present casual paupers in that parish, and as such he considered that the overseer was bound to relieve them, until he found himself in a condition to transfer the burden of their support to their proper or permanent place of settlement, wherever that might be. After some further conversation the overseer inti mated his readiness to afford the children temporary relief, until an opportunity presented itself for obtaining further directions on submitting the case for the decision of the board of guardians upon it. LAMBETH. On Saturday Mr. Horace Knight, a young fellow whose friends are of the highest respectability, and who a short time since held a situation of high trust on one of the metropolitan lines of railroad, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of passing various forged cheques drawn on the bank of Master man and Co. Mrs. Eliza Robinson, of 25,Cresby- row, Wal vvorth road, deposed that on the evening of the 13th instant the prisoner entered her shop and asked her for change of a 51. cheque he then produced. Believing the cheque to be genuine, and knowing the prisoner's father, who had been a customer of her husband for many years, to be a gentleman of the highest respect ability, she, without hesitatian, gave him the change. On the following day ber bass,s.s.a. presented e cheque at the banking-house, and was told there were no effects. Police-constable 125 P deposed that on the preced ing night he met the prisoner in the Walworth-road, and knowing he was " wanted," he stopped him, and asked if he knew anything about forged cheques, and he replied he did not, and did not know what he meant. Witness, however, told him he must accom pany him to the station, and on the way there he said he did know something about a cheque, but should make it all right. Sergeant Qainnear, 1 P, requested that the priso ner might be remanded to a future day, when he should be prepared to produce witnesses to establish several other cases against him. The prisoner, on whose person, when apprehended, three cheques similar to those he had passed were found, was remanded to a future day. THAMES. Mary Smith, alias Merrick, Bridget Mackenzie, lhary Ann Sullivan, and Catherine Pratt, were brought up on remand charged with hocussing and robbing Mr. David Dorward, a master mariner. Mr. INGHAM said he should again remand the pri soners, who would be ultimately committed for trial. At the suggestion of Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, he directed that the deposition of the prosecutor should be formally taken and returned to the sessions, and then remanded the prisoner. for another week. SOUTHWARK. During Saturday afternoon Mr. Joseph S Aomori.% the solicitor to Mrs. Manning, attended before Mr. Seeker to make an application for an important lettei now in the hands of the police. Mr. Solomons informed Mr. Seeker that Mrs. Manning had sent for him to the gaol that morning, and reqaested him to obtain a letter now in the hands of the police, and which was taken away from her by Mr. Moxey, the superintendent of the Edin burgh police. That letter, she believed, was of the utmost consequence to her in getting up her defence, as it was sent to her by O'Connor, while she was in the service of Lady Blantyre. He, therefore, begged to have that letter handed over to him as her solicitor, so that it might be used as his client desired. He begged to say, that the letter in question was ad dressed to her in her maiden name," Maria de Roux," at Stafford-house, St. James's Park. Mr. SECKER—The letter you speak of is in the possession of the police, and may be of some import ance to them ; therefore I cannot allow it to go out of their hands. Was Mrs. Manning married at that time ? Mr. Solomons—She was not, I believe ; but from her statement to me I think it will clear up the mys tery respecting the property found on her. Mr. Edwin (chief clerk) —Perhaps a copy of the letter might serve Mr. Solomon's purpose. There could be no objection to his taking one. The letter is in the hands of Inspector Yates,who will show it on receiving an order from the magistrate. Mr. SECKER—I have no objection to allow Mr Solomons to have a copy of that letter, but the ori ginal must be retained in the hands of the police ; as I said before, it may be of importance. Mr. Solomons—A copy of the letter in question will be quite sufficient for my purposes, as Mrs. Manning wishes merely to know the contents. Mr. SECKER—You nay have a co,py by applying to Inspector Yates. Mr. Solomons thanked the magistrate, and with drew for that purpose. In the latter part of the day Mr. SECKER received the following letter : " Vansittart Cottage, Southampton, Sept. 28. " Sir,—Upon having read the examination of the wit nesses on the several remands of Mr. and Mrs. Manning at the Southwark Police-court for the murder of Patrick O'Connor at Bermondsey, in the early part of August last, I think it my duty to society to inform you that I have reason to believe that Mrs. Manning lodged in my house as above; that she was brought here by one of the railway guards of the name of Hopson; that she arrived on or about the 13th or 14th of that month (August), and remained in my house three days. I only speak from recollection, and cannot as yet swear she is the same party unless I see her, but I believe from the de scription given of her in the newspapers that she is the party. 1 am informed another examination is to take place, and should you think my information of use to the public I am reedy to attend. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " J. 0. Seeker, Esq. MARY DIME." Mr. SECKER said, he could make no suggestion re spectine• the letter, especially as he had reason to be lieve Mrs. Manning was at Edinburgh at the time. WANDSWORTH. Mr. Day, the trunk and packing-case maker of the Strand, attended with his gamekeeper to prefer an information against Mr. Henry Beech Reynolds, joint solicitor to the Treasury, for trespassing upon a farm in the parish of Wimbledon, in the occupation of Mr. John Croker, a farmer, but over which Mr. Day has purchased the right of shooting of a Mr. Drax, the owner of the property. The keeper stated that in the early part of the week he found Mr. Reynolds in a piece of oat stubble ; he was carrying an air gun, and he asked him his name. Mr. Reynolds replied, "If you want it you must come across the common ;" but the keeper said he lr Juld not do that, but require him to give up his air gun, as he would not give his name or address. Mr. PAYNTER—And you took the gun with great force—have you restored it? Mr. Day said he gave it back to Mr. Reynolds on Friday nigh... The keeper went on to say that the land Mr. Reynolds was upon was a preserve, and caution notices to trespassers were posted at every available place ; there were pheasants and partridges in the preserve. When the keeper spoke to Mr. Reynolds he said he was looking for rabbits. _ _ Mr. PAYNTER observed that there was no doubt Mr. Day was entitled to a summons fur a trespass, but he must tell the keeper he had no right to take the gun, and if he had been in Mr. Reynolds's place he would have given him in charge of the police for the stealing. It was clear the gamekeeper was unfit for his place, for he did not know his duties. If Mr. Reynolds had shot the gamekeeper it would only have been manslaughter, and the keeper even was liable to be tried for the robbery. The summons was appointed for hearing before Mr. Beadom ROBBERY OF RAILWAY PARCELS An extensive robbery of valuable parcels, conveyed by the Great Western Company, from South Wales and all parts of the West of England, took place a few days back. On Thursday morning the mail train by the Great Western Railway, leaving Ply mouth at 6.25 1 , zw. on the previous evening, and calling at the intermediate towns upon the route, arrived at the Paddington terminus at 4.15 A.m., laden, in addition to the Post-office mail bags, with between 200 and 300 packages of a miscellaneous character, consisting of bankers' parcels, containing notes, cheques, &c., from local to London banks; so• licitors' parcels, enclosing wills, deeds, marriage settlements and other documents, with other papers of considerable value, passing bet ween various metro politan and provincial firms. The parcels were deposited en masse in the parcels-van, and shortly before 7 o'clock the delivery agent of Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, accompanied by a lad, who remains in the cart to watch them, started on his round from Paddington, taking with him the parcels sorted out and strapped together in classified lots, those for the bankers in one batch, those called by the railway clerks " the lawyers' parcels" in another, the general commercial ones in another, and so on. On ar riving at Featherstone-buildings, Holborn, shortly before eight o'clock, the driver of the van, as usual with him, alighted, leaving the cart in the custody of the lad. Taking with him the lawyers' parcels, he first of all proceeded to the offices of Messrs. Gregory, Faulkner, and Follett, in Bedford-row, and there at a few minutes after eight o'clock, saw the housekeeper. who received the parcels for the firm, when the man, who it would appear had on previous occasions acted thus imprudently, asked permission of the house keeper to be allowed to leave all the parcels strapped together in the office, on account, as he alleged, of their great weight, while he went a little further on in Bedford-row to deliver two others, one for Messrs. Alger, solicitors, and the other for Messrs. Stevens, which he did in the usual manner. In the meantime, however, and within five minutes of his absence from the offices of Messrs. Gregory, a most adroit and daring abstraction of the remaining 20 parcels left there, containing deeds, wills, and valuable assign ments, was effected. Immediately on his return the housekeeper told him one of his fellow-servants had been there, when he said, "Oh, my mate has left the wrong packet of parcels," exchanging at the same time the parcels that had been left for a similar set, strapped together and slung over his shoulder, and leaving word that the man on his return was to meet him at the George and Blue Boar, in Holborn. The man, on his return, of course was in great consterna tion, and could not be convinced of the dexterous manoeuvre until an inspection of the parcels deposited in exchange showed that they mere nothing but " dummies' filled with shavings and waste paper. So close, indeed, was the imitation, that had it not been for the statement of the housekeeper exciting his suspicions, he would have thrown them over his shoulder and proceeded as usual. These dummy parcels, of which there were about a dozen, were bound together with a large strap, precisely in the same fashion as those that were abstracted, but with out any addresses, the part upon which the direction is placed being so contrived as to appear to be turned inside. Between the dummies and the strap was a white leather pocket book, such as are used by the Great Western Railway, marked " Great Western Railway, August, 1849." Thinking there might be some mistake, the man in his trepidation rushed to the George and Blue Boar, but found no one to the appoint ment. lie then went to the police-station in Hunter street, Brunswick-square, and gave information of the robbery to the authorities, who immediately communi cated with Messrs. Collard and Lyndon, the police tkia railway company, and issued areward for the recovery of the papeff - n - at n - o - t - for the apprehension of the thief. Inspector Smith, ' a detective officer of the F division, proceeded to Messrs. Gregory's, and received from the housekeeper a minute description of the thief, who, it appears, the better to aid the decep tion, was dressed like a privileged ticket-porter of the Great Western Railway, the plush jacket and cap having " G. W. R." marked on them in red cloth letters. This leads to the belief that the clothes must have been lent him- by some one of the company's servants privy to and implicated in the transaction, and this suspicion is strengthened by the fact that the delinquent has been recently seen drinking with them and in their company. The housekeeper, whose de scription coincides with that of the man now in custody, described him as tall, thin, and about 20. On hearing the description, In spector Smith at once suspected the man to be one of the most expert thieves in London, often in custody, but never yet convicted, and the son of a man who goes by the sobriquet of " Long Taylor." Although familiar with the haunts of the man and his confederates, the inspector obtained no clue to his capture until between five and six on Friday evening last, when he apprehended him at his lodgings, No. 52, Barclay-street, Somers' Town. He gave his name as George Barton, 18 years of age, but stoutly denied all knowledge of the transaction. Search was made throughout the house, but none of the missing property was forthcoming. The housekeeper at Messrs. Gregory's has since iden • tified him. The value of the lost parcels is not yet ascertained, but it is conjectured to be very large, from the fact that one of the solicitors' firms to whom a parcel was directed, and of whom inquiries were made, stated that if the parcel directed to them was one that was abstracted, its worth was 30,0001. The names of the consignees, who cannot, beyond conjecture, give any account of their contents, are— the Commissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, Portugal-street; Messrs. Beevor, of Gray's Inn ; Messrs. Vincent, of Castle-street; Messrs. Taylor, Chancery-lane; Messrs. Davidson, Lincoln's Inn ; Frere, Lincoln's Inn; Ryland, Lincoln's Inn-fields; Whiteacre, Lincoln's Inn; Wrentmore,Lincoln's Inn ; Holme, New Inn ; Coulthurst, New Inn ; Leppard, Bannatyne, and Gannon, Cloak-lane, City; Goodwin, Walbrook ; Peachey, Old Jewry ; Gregson, Angel court, City ; Dawes, Angel-court ; WaterlowAngel-court and Sons, Birchin-lane; and Wetherby and Sons, Birchin lane. _ On Saturday afternoon communications were re ceived from Messrs. Leppard and Bannatyne, to the effect that they had heard from Mr. C. Hassell, of Bristol, that the parcel directed for their firm and which was stolen with the others, contained two un excuted deedq, on which were stamps to the amount of 131. 10s. ; one deed was an assignment of leasehold property, with stamps, 91., ad valorem. There was also a letter of attorney from Mr. C. Attwood, stamps 303., on paper. Messrs. Taylor, of Chancery.lane; state that the parcel intended for them would contain deeds, and a cheque for 47/., payment for which has been stopped at Tiverton. On Saturday also the authorities at the Stamp-office were apprised of the robbery, in the event of any deeds or other documents being offered in the allowance department as spoiled stamps.. A large reward will be offered for the restoration of the parcels, should none of them be forthcoming, and up to last night none had been recovered. LOLA MONTES.—Some of the particulars con nected with the recent extraordinary visit to Englund of this lady have been published, but the following addi tional facts, the authenticity of which may ba relied upon, will, doubtless, be read with interest :—lt appears that while abroad the lady received an anonymous letter upon the subject of the charge of bigamy made against her, the precise contents of which have not transpired, but they were of such a character as to induce her and her husband immediately to hire a steam-vessel, for which they paid 2001., and to proceed to England. They arrived in London late at night, and early the next morning the lady, with her usual impetuosity, pro ceeded to the house of her solicitor. He was out of town, with all the rest of the world, at that period, and the lady then ordered her carriage to the chambers of Mr. Bodkin, her counsel. Here she met with a fresh disappointment, for she was informed that that gentle man had gone to Ramsgate. She resolved to go after him, and made arrangements to start by a train the fol lowing morning; and it happened lay an odd coincidence, that Mr. Bodkin, who had been pre►ented from starting so early as be expected, travelled down by the same train, and the lady and her le Irned counsel met each other upon th,i arrival of the train at the station. After a short consultation, the lady became aware of the hoax that had been practised upon her, and she immediately returned to London, and the next day she and her hus band started for Daly. It is said that her gallant hus band is excessively indignant at the different proceed ings that have been taken against her, and that he has declared that he will protect her from the " persecution" to which she has been subjected to the whole extent of his fortune. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The Royal mail steam ship Caledonia, Captain Leitch, took her departure to day for Halifax and Boston, with the usual mails for North Amaica. The steam-ship Niagara, Captain Kyrie, with the inward mails, &c., from New York, of the 19th, and Halifax, of the 22d ult., may be expected to arrive en Monday (today). IRELAND. DUBLIN, SEPT. 29.—The battle of life is daily becoming more sam.uinary. The landlords call it the nti• t Conspiracy ; but, in truth, it is a stru,;gle in which the very existence of the small tenantry of Ireland is at stake. More blood has been she 1., per jury is becoming quite a matter-of course crime among the unhappy people, and violence of all kinds, is reported to for the gratification of revenge for in juries charged against landlords and agents. The in telligence from the country to-day is truly deplorable. Within fifty miles of the metropolis a bloody conflict took place yesterday morning, in which one man was shot dead and another badly wounded ; the particu lars are thus given in a journal favourable to the rights of property—indifferent about its duties. "We have just received an account," says the Kil kenny Moderator, "of a fatal and most fearful struggle between a landlord and tenant for the pos session of the crops, and which, we are sorry to state, has taken place in our own county. It appears that the corn of a farmer named Cloony, residing at Butler's Grove, near Gowran, was distrained for rent by the landlord, Captain Watson, and was only pro tected hitherto from being forcibly removed by having a strong posse of armed bailiffs placed in charge. However, yesterday morning, at about eight o'clock, Cloony collected a considerable body of men, who were armed and provided with cars in order to seize and remove the crop at any risk. The attack was, of course, resisted by those in charge, and who acted under the direction of Captain Watson's sons. A. violent struggle took place, but Cloony's party succeeded in loading the cars, and just as they were leading them out upon the road, one of the men, named Willir.en Butler, was shot dead by the Wat son's party, and another was so seriously wounded that Dr. Newell, of Gowran, whose professional assistance was promptly obtained, is said to have pronounced his recovery to be hopeless. On the other hand, it is stated by report that three of the parties who were in charge of the crop, are danger ously wounded. The police arrived from Cowran soon after the fray, but too late to prevent the fatal consequences of the encounter; however, the cor respondent from whom we have the particulars, con cludes his communication, which was dated at noon yesterday, with the remark—' Notwithstanding the fearful circumstances which have resulted from the attack, the corn is still being removed, though one man lies dead in the gap, and another is dying in the neighbourhood.'" By the midday mail an account has been received of the wounded man. In the Carlow Sentinel of this morning there are reports of scrambles for crops on the estates of Colonel Bruen, M.P., Colonel Butler, M.P., and Mr. Ilatchell, the Irish Solicitor-General. The particulars in each case are essentially similar. The landlords are repre sented as the kindest and best men in the world—the tenants, sharpers. The tenants owed large arrears of rent, had splendid crops, would not pay, and to avoid threatened distraint, collected friends from distant parts and carried all their property out of the reach of their indulgent landlords. Such is the gravamen of each report. Here is another case in this Carlow paper :—" On Sunday last a man named Rice, who held a farm of 70 acres of land, from Mr. Finlay, of Bagnalstown, at Ballykeenan, in this county, obtained the assistance of a large party of men and took away corn to the value of 2001., which was under seizure. They cut down the corn which was standing, and swept that also away. The tenant to whom Mr. Finlay was most indulgent owed him 1301., in addition to 801., on the 29th inst. Mr. Finlay, being desirous of coming to a settlement, offered to take security for 1801. This the tenant promised, and the securities were to be completed on Monday—in the interim, however, he swept away the crops on the previous day. It is remarkable that Mr. Finlay's herd de clared that he knew the parties who cut down the standing crop which was not seized upon, but he professed entire ignorance of those who carried off the property under seizure—thus proving the sym pathy that exists for those who transgress the law. At the Shinrone petty sessions on Wednesday last 20 men were charged with carrying off 24 loads of corn, which was about to be seized by Mr. Clark, the landlord of the ground upon which it was raised. The prisoners were committed for trial at the ap proaching assizes. The police, it is said, charged the carters " at the point of the bayonet, and a struggle ensued, which, however, was not attended with seri ous consequences." In the meantime the landlords in some parts are making timely abatements in the rents of their tenants. They acknowledge the simple fact that a farmer cannot pay the same rent now that he did when corn was 50 per cent. dearer, potatoes plenty, and a low poor-rate.

The Brilliant sailed at daylight on Saturday for Sheerws3 to be paid off. Tee Volcano steam-vessel arrived at Spithead at seven o'clock this morning from the Mediterranean. Oa coming un to Sp ahead she made signal to say that she had a slight defect in her engines, which could be made good in three hours. She was ordered to come into harbour, her defects were made good, and she steamed off at twelve o'clock for Sheerness to be paid off. The Volcano had been in collision with a merchant schooner, when about two miles from Plymouth, the Eliza, of Newport; as that vessel was bearing up to speak to her she struck the Volcano on the after part of her port paddle box, car rying away her own bowsprit and foremast; she was thin towed into 'Plymouth by the Volcano. The Encounter bent sails yesterday. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 28.—Mr. Oxen, the master of the brigantine Eliza, gives the following account of the col lision between that vessel and her Majesty's steamer Volcano yesterday afternoon. The Eliza, at half-past twelve o'clock, was off Prawle-point, or between Prawle point and the Start point, the land being three mites distant. The weather was rather thick and mind north west. The ship was under double-reefed topsails, single-reefed mainsail, and reefed spencer, her head pointing west by south, or west-south-west, and rate of sailing about four knots. After the men had taken the second reef in the topsail and were coming down the rigging they observed a Government steamer to the westward with ensign and pennant flying. In con sequence of seeing the ensign, Captain Oxen backed the schooner's topsails to the mast, put the helm down, and lay to for about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, when the Volcano, with her paddles going, came up under the larboard brow of the brigan tine, carried away her jib-boom and bowsprit (the lattt r of which dropped on the steamer's deck), and in con sequence broke both her masts. The foremast went about five feet from the deck, and dropped aft on the gallows of the winch, against the mainmast; and She mainmast parted more than ten feet from the deck, fall ing over the brigantine's lee quarter. Captain Owen has, of course, noted a protest, and intends, through his agent, Mr. Henry J. Waring, to apply to the Port- Admiral to have the brigantine's damages made good by the dockyard authorities. The ship Lorena, Captain Conway, belonging to New York, having 203 emigrant passengers on board, from Antwerp for New York, when in longitude 10 west, ex perienced a tremendous gale from the eastward, which carried away maintopgallantmast and head of maintop mast and caused the ship to strain exceedingly. Having returned off this port last night, took a Plymouth pilot on board, and entered the Sound this morning in satety. ACCIDENT TO THE CAMBRIA STEAMER. The Chester and Holyhead Railway Company's steam boat Catnbria broke her paddle shaft on her outward voyage from Kingstown to Holyhead yester day morning. The Banshee, which left Kingstown at half-past twelve, came up to the Cambria, which had left at half past eight, took her passengers on board, and conveyed them to Holyhead. The Hiber nia was dispatched from the latter port; and on meet ing the Cambria, took her into tow and returned with her to Ilolyhead. The Hibernia left Ilolyhead again at three this morning, and arrived at Kingstown shortly before eight. The following communicatiGn on the subject has been received by the Secretary to the Chamber of Commerce : " H n. Majesty's packet. Banshee, Kingstown, Sept. 27, 1849. " Sir,—As considerable anxiety will naturally be felt for the safety of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company's steamer the Cambria, which vessel lets King ,town yesterday, at nine A. 31 (London time), I feel it my duty to acquaint you, as secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce, that at 3.50 P. M. yesterday, when on my passage to Holyhead, in ber Majesty's packet under my command, I observed a steamer on our port-bow, with her colours flying, laying to, apparently disabled. 1 changed our course towards her, and soon found it to be the Cambria. " At 4.17 I stopped the Banshee, close to leeward of her, when two boats came alongside with several pas sengers (about 20 in number), whom we succeeded in getting safely on board, although attended with consi derable risk, there being a heavy sea at times, Lieut. Keane also sending a request that I would caue imme diate assistance to be sent to him, as their intermediate shaft was broken, and both engines quite disabled — Holyhead in sight, bearing S.E. by E. E., dist. 18 miles. I proceeded at 4.45 P.M., and on my arrival at Holyhead at 6.25 P.m., communicated to Commander Fraser, RN., who superintends the packet establish ment there, the situation of the Cambria, and the request of Lieut. Keane, her commander, handing him his let ter to me. I also sent for the commander of the Hiber nia, one of the steamers belonging to the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company (which vessel was then preparing for leaving Holyhead with the London pas sengers for Kingstown), and gave him all the informa tion I possibly could on the subject. Commander Fraser sent H.M.S.', V. Otter as soon as she could be got ready (at 8.30 p.m.), and the Hibernia left at 11.30 P.m., both in search of the Cambria. " I am glad to be able to report my having this morn ing passed the Cambria in tow of the Hibernia, at nice o'clock, and have no doubt but she will be safe at Holy head about eleven o'clock this morning. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, " WM. SMITHETT, Commanding." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMoUTII, SEPT. 30.—The Fairy Royal yacht, Captain the Right Hon. Lord Adolphus Fitzilarence, G.C.11., &c., embarked her Majesty and the Court from the Royal Clarence-yard, Gosport, on their arrival yes terday afternoon, at four o'clock, and proceeded, under the usual salute and other ceremonies, to Osborne. The weather was singularly unpropitious, but her Majesty and her illustrious Consort seemed in the enjoyment of robust health. The usual dignitaries of the port and garrison were in attendance, and a guard of honour of Royal Marines under the command of Lieut©nant•Col. Delacomb. The Leander, new 52-gun frigate by Blake, and the Serpent, 16, are ordered to be commissioned immediately at this port. The following officers have been appointed to them : To the Leander—Captain, S.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.—By the clipper ship Sword fish, arrived in the Mersey, we have received advices from Rio Janeiro to the Bth, Bahia to the 18th, and Pernambuco to the 25th of August. From Pernambuco we learn that the stock of sugar was very much reduced, and the balance of the old crop arriving at market was of ordinary and damp qualities. The weather was very favourable for thf , growing crop, which would commence to make its appearance in November. About 800 tons had been puzified for shipment within the week ending August 27, at 20s. 3d. for whites, and 15s. 10d. per cwt. for browns; in cases, 21s. 3d. to 235. for common assortments ; in bags, 19s. ld. to 193. 6d. for low, and 15s. ld. to 163. sd. for muscovadoes—all free on board. The weather having latterly taken up, the receipts of cotton were on the increase ; but the demands being active at 4 15-161. to 54d. per pound, free on board, it was purified almost immediately on arrival ; and, as several vessels were waiting to load, and a speculating purchaser was operating freely, prices were not expected to go lower for the present. The stock was reduced to 1,000 bags. Freights were 255. to 30s. per ton for sugar, to ballast; and 7-16 d. to id. and 5 per cent. for cotton. The rate of exchange had advanced to 26d. The Thomas and Henry and Sobraon, from Sydney, sailed for London on the 26th of August. In Bahia the stuck of sugar was 5,000 cases, and of cotton 3,000 bags. Prices were 17s. 61 rl. p(r cwt. free on board, for inwicovadoes; 21s. 2,1. for white sugars. 4,500 to 4,800 reis per arroba for cotton. Freights were dull with a limited demand, the quotations being 45s to 50s. - for sugars to the Channel, and l id. and 5 per cent. for cotton to Liverpool. Exchange was firm at 25,id. At Rio excha.ige was quoted at 2541. The stock of coffee was 30,000 bags, and superiots could be shipped free on board ar 29r. 111. to 30s. Bd. per cwt., firsts at 28s. 41. to 29.,% Id., and ordinary at 265. to 265. Si. Freights were improving, several v,4sels having been taken up at 455. to 505. per ton for the Channel, and as high ai 603. paid for a few small English ves sels. The Archimedes and Alice Brooks were load ing for London, and thq Cynthia, Sarah, Commodore, and John Murray for the Channel. SINGULAR GENERWITY—A. Mr. Brooks, fruiterer, residing in the Edgeware-road, found on Thursday afternoon, the 27th ult., on his counter a pocket-h on k containing 5001., and having served a lady with some trifling articles some short time before, who stated that she was going into the country, he immediately called a cab and went to the Great Western Railway and ex amined all the carriages to endeavour to find her among the passengers who were about starting by the four o'clock train, but she was not among them; so he re turned and examined the book to ascertain if there was any mark by which he might trace her, and finding a grocer's bill whose residence was in the City, he took an omnibus and went there, but with no more success than he had at the railway. He returned home and gave up the search, it being seven leer , intending to advertise it in the public papers the next day if she did not make inquiries for it. The next morning the lady came and asked the tradesman if he had found such a book, for she said if he had not she must have lost it in the streets or been robbed of it in an omnibus; Mr. Brooks was very glad the owner had made her appearance to receive it, so he called in a neighbour to witness his giving it up, and to his surprise saw her take it up and walk off without expressing the least gratitude for its restoration. Mr. Wright, the neighbour, said, " Surely, madam, you will pay Mr. Brooks his expenses in seeking you." She directly asked how much it had cost; he said 2s. 3d., she laid down 35., and then waited for the 9d. change.— Sunday Paper. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 29.—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Sultan, Captain George Brooks, sailed this afternoon for Gibraltar, Malta, Smyrna, and Con stantinople. She had 29 passengers, and on freight 465 tons measurement goods, principally for the Turkish market, and jewellery, value 1,5001. The Erin, Captain T. S. Russell, is to sail for Constantinople on the 15th of October, there to relieve the company's steamer Tagus, Captain Joy, employed in running on the Black Sea between Constantinople, Samsoun, Sinope, Trebizonde, &c. The Tagus is ordered home for repairs. It is not expected that the Ripon, Captain R. Moreeby, with the East India, China, and Mediterranean mails, will reach Southampton till Monday night or Tuesday. The Roy tl Mail Steam Packet Company's ship Dee, Captain W. Allan, is appointed to take out the West India and Mex ican mails, and she will accordingly depart at the usual hour on Tuesday next, the 2d of October. Tte next West India and Pacific mails, due on the 7th proximo, will, in all probability be brought by the Medway, Cap tain W. Symonds; she may be expected about the sth or 6th. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Euxine, Ca, t. R. W. Evans, from Constantinople, Smyrna, and Gibral tar, will be due here on the 7th of October; and the Iberia, Captain F. W. Burney, on the 4th, with the mails from Gibraltar, Cadiz, Lisbon, Oporto, and Vigo. The United States mail steamer WashingteD, Captain G. W. Floyd, with dates from New York to the 20th of Semtember is looked for off Cowes, en route to Bremen about the 4th or sth of October. The packet brig Eclipse sailed yesterday for Madeira. Southamp ton, Sunday, Sept. 30.—The packet-brig Brilliant, Capt. Newton, arrived here this morning with dispatches at d ship-letter bags of the 22d instant from Madeira, afc, r a fine passage of seven days and a half from Funchal. She brings intelligence of the foundering at sea of the brig Jane, of Sunderland, from Liverpool, with a general cargo, bound for California. The master, Captain Hub bert (who has come home in the Brilliant), intorms us that on the Bth of September the vessel sprang a serious leak in consequence of pitching and rolling in the heavy cross seas for several days; the leak gained so fast that he decided upon abandoning her, and the crew accord ingly took to the boats, not being a'Ae to save any of their personal effects, shortly after which the vessel sank. On the; 9th of September they were fortunately picked up by the American barque Roderick Dhu, from New York, bound to Madeira. The Brilliant has also brought home Roberts, of the brig Louisa, of Guernsey, beund to Havannah, who, in consequence of sudden illness, was I, ft at Madeira. The weather was remarkably fine in Madeira, and arrivals of invalids were taking pl. ce. The p.utcd to be a very short one crop of grapes was ex throughout the island. A Russian 50-gun frigate was lying at anchor at Funchal, in attendance on his Imperial highness the Grand Duke of Lt uchtenberg, whose health was improving. There were no British ships uf war there.

Owing pnbably to a prevalence of east erly winds the imports from Inland into Liver Fol are only to a moderate amount, consisting chiefly of flour and oatmeal per steamers; and coastwise the arrivals are very scanty. From abroad there are only reported about 3,000 quarters of Indian corn. Our market this morning was of a languid character, and wheat must be noted fully 2d per 701 b. cheaper than on this day se'nnight. In the value of the best descriptions of flour no change was observable; but good useful qualities were obtainable on rather lower terms, whilst for inferior kinds there continues to be a total absence of inquiry. Oats without alteration, and choice cuts of Irish new oatmeal were in moderate demand at our quotations. BRIST , L SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 29.—Bu.,iness has been dull this week, and the sales, amounting to about 500 hogsheads, could only be effected at a reduction of 6cl per cwt. The quantity of British plantation on offer is by no means large. We t:re without inquiry for rums, except fine qualities, which are scarce.

CORK, SEPT. 28.—The trade during the week has, on the whole, been steady, while the arrivals of foreign grain, the wind having continued adverse for wane days, have ben scarcely worth notice. The supplies of home grown grain continue large, the receipts for the week amounting to—Wheat, 3,954 barrels, at 163 to 21s per barrel; barley, 5,399 barrels, at 8s to 12s per barrel; outs, 17,666 barrels, at 6s to 9s 4d per barrel. The value of wheat remains unchanged, and the article continues to meet a steady sale at late prices. In prepared and foreign wheat we have had but a moderate business doing, still we do not quote any alteration in prices, which remain as at the date of our last. Respecting potatoes we regret to say our accounts are not very cheering. Disease has made decided progress in them, still the crop has been an abundant one, and early matured; and we should hope, therefore, that a much larger quantity will prove available for human food, than was the case last year. At this morning's market there was an immense supply of grain, every descrip tion of which underwent a slight decline in value.

RUMOURED DEATH OF MR. THOMAS Box, THE CRICKETER.—We are happy in being enabled to con tradict a rumour, which last week reached us, in com mon with our contemporaries, that this celebrated Sussex player had fallen a victim to the prevailing epidemic. It appears that a serious attack of illness, at Leeds, whither he had gone to play with the All England eleven, gave rise to the report. He was, however, so far recovered on Friday last as to be able to leave Leeds for Brighton. We trust the paragon of wicket keepers may yet be spared many seasons to do honour to his na tive county, and the " All England eleven." lIoTEL ON THE MGM BURNT DOWN.—The German pap..rs received on Saturday inform us, on the authority of a letter from Lucent-, that, on the 21st ult. at noon, the Srgesser Hotel, situate on the summit of the Bighi Mountain, so well known to Swiss tourists, was burnt to the ground in the space of two hours. Some of the English residents at the hotel lost large sums of money by the disaster. The destruction of this hotel—the great re u , e for those who ate , mded Riphi to behold the glorious spee'acie of the rising sun—s ill be a serious in convenience to travellers in that part of Switzerland. [ADVERTISEMENT. ) —A Most Inveterate Skin Di sease Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—James Haz litt, millwright of Nenagh, county of Donegal, was afflicted with a dreadful skin disease, being covered with sores from the ear to the elbow, and down the right side, which rendered him totally unable to work at his trade. His malady was of so ma lignant a nature that he became a loathsome object of pity. In this state he was presented with some of Holloway's Oint ment and Pills, and by persevering in the use of these wonder ful remedies for a few weeks he has been soundly cured, and is now able to resume his laborious occupation._Sold by all Drn - tgists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
