What do the army and the people of France think of the failure of the English attack on the Redan on the Bth of September We know from the admirable article in the Moniteur, which we transferred to our impression of the 24th ult., the impression that prevails in the very highest quarters respecting the great gallantry and effi ciency of the English troops then as on all pre vious occasions. We have also seen the generous encomium bestowed by Marshal PELISSIER on his Allies, pointing out, too, that there had been a French as well as an English failure on that memorable day. It may, however, and even has been asserted that these laudatory expressions were attributable rather to politeness than to a very accurate view of what had taken place, and that in the Palace of Truth a more homely and less pleasing estimate might be heard of the skill of British Officers and the conduct and bravery of the soldiers ! Very stringent criticisms have been offered in this country respecting the arrangements for the attack, and the conduct of a large proportion of those actually engaged. It is not unnatural that there should be an ex • pression of discontent at our own repulse while our Allies so fully accomplished their task, and, as asserted by many persons assuming to speak ex cathedra, monopolised the whole glory of the capture' of the beleaguered City ! While such an impression is abroad in this country it is par ticularly desirable to know whether it has ex tended beyond the Channel, and been participated in by any large or influential section of our Allies. Hence the importance of the answer to the inter rogatory with which we commenced this article. " What do the army and people of Francs think of the failure of the English attack on the Redan on the Bth ultimo ?" We rejoice to be enabled to produce unexcep tionable testimony on this interesting topic—tes timony that must be regarded as conclusive by every disinterested and unprejudiced person. We earnestly commend the admirable letter of Pro fessor AYTOIIN, which will be found in another part of this day's impression, to the attentive perusal of our friends and of the community as large. It is indeed well worthy of perusal, and will, we trust, remove any apprehensions that the honour of old England had been tarnished before Sebastopol, or that we were not e n titl e d t o s h are in some degree the laurels so profusely gathered by our brave Allies on the ever-memorable Bth of September. It is naturally a source of considerable gratifi cation to ourselves to find that the view which we put forward, and have continued to maintain, has been so completely and unequivocally corroborated by a witness in every respect so trustworthy as Professor AYTOUN—testimony that convinces us that the voice of France is universally uplifted in favour of our gallant men, who receive ample jus tice from those whose training and education emi nently qualify them to form a correct judgment on such points. The explanation which has been given by our distinguished countryman is, as he declares, universally recognised in Paris. We see, from the reported conversation of General PELISSIER, what it was that he required. He wished that, from the moment of taking the Malakhoff by a coup de main, the Russian atten tion should be distracted, even for a single hour, to afford the opportunity of strengthening his-position, and thus enabling him to retain the possession of the glorious prize. For that he sent forward his own troops to assault the Redan of Careening Bay, and the Central and Quaran tine Bastions. They failed, like our own, but not until the great object for which they were made had been accomplished. Nobly did our brave fellows, albeit that many of them were " mere boys," as they were contemptuously termed, dis charge their arduous and terrible duty. Not only did they proceed across the two hundred yards that intervened between their trenches and the Redan, under a tremendous enfi lading fire of artillery, but they made good their footin,g, and for nearly two hours-1 hour 56 minutes —maintained their desperate position, and that 'notwithstanding the absence of that support which they naturally anticipated, but which was' withheld, in order to prevent a greater amount of carnage than that which actually took place. It is unquestionably a d eplorable exigency that required the sacrifice of brave men, that de- , t - THE SUN, LONDON. MONDAY EVENINi OCTOBER 8 18bh. admitted, suggestive of a frightful expenditure. Or supposing the river were not crossed by a bridge the canal would be in constant danger of being choked up by the alluvial deposits, and would greatly interfere with the existing system of canals so necessary to the irrigation of Egypt, while vessels sailing along it would have great difficulty in crossing when the strong currents set in, and the easterly or southerly winds prevailed. The direct line commencing at Pelusium and ter minating at Suez, without being liable to any of these objections, has the positive merit of offering a useful harbour and twelve miles of existing water communication. At ten leagues distance from Pelusium it would merge in " the Bitter Lakes," which, filled as they are with the waters of the Arabian Gulf, would also serve as an inex haustible reservoir for the service of the canal. The main obstacles to be contended against would, it ap pears, be in the vicinity of two mountains where a short detour would be necessary, involving, however, only a cutting 70 feet in depth, including the depth of the canal. The mode in which M. DE LESSEPS proposes to carry out this plan is by the joint capital and exertions of all commercial na tions who may see fit to lend their aid, the canal being intended for the advantage of all, and a guarantee of its neutrality by the respective countries being a primary consideration. The advantages offered by the scheme are vast and manifold. To this country they are of the first importance. The five hundred millions of the population of India and China would be brought nearer to Europe, and consequently to us, by seve ral thousand miles. In the voyage from London or Liverpool to Bombay, via Suez, as compared with the Cape, there would be a saving of 8,550 miles, the result of which would be a large increase of commercial activity, not only arising from more rapid communication, but also from a reduction in freight and other charges, and the opening out of new, and the increased demand from, old markets. In a military point of view the advantages offered by the canal are immense, since it would enable us to send out troops from Bombay in twenty-one days, and to Ceylon or Madras in about twenty-eight days, in stead of four or five months as at present, a diminution of time which might involve the sal vation of our dominions in the East. To other European nations, and to America, it holds out advantages sufficiently great to insure their sup port, and its inviolability as a neutral point of communication. With respect to France the adoption of the plan would remove the only ground of difference that can be foreseen between us, and might possibly lead to a recipro cation of good offices in relation to a similar scheme elsewhere. Taking all these things into consideration, and more especially the security it would give us in the possession of our Indian Empire, to which the eyes of Russia have long been enviously directed, we cannot but wish M. DE LESSEPS success in his splendid undertaking. gaus, seems likely to prove a failure, for it cannot remain a secret that the resources of the country are not of a nature to admit of ships of war being built with the celerity so desirable. There are no stores of dry and seasoned timber at Nicolaieff suitable for shipbuilding. Whenever a stock is required the Minister makes a contract with some favourite, or whoever pays him the most handsome bribe, who makes an advantageous sub-contract, and thus the affair may pass through the hands of ten or a dozen different persons, each of whom makes a pretty picking of a Government contract ; and when at length the timber is floated dow n the Dnieper frum up the country, it is found to be quite green, full of sap, and general:y cut at the wrong time of the year ; consequently, perfectly worthless, and totally unfit for imme diate use. The Emperor's shipbuilders at Nico laieff may celebrate the presence of their sove reign by laying down the keel of a 131-gun ship, to compete with the Royal Albert, but the day of its completion is far distant. votes them to almost certain death ; but it is one of the terrible necessities of war, to which all must submit. We cannot resist republishing a portion of our article on the subject which appeared in The Sun of the 28th ult. Our esteemed correspondent will from that perceive that we rendered from the beginning full justice to our gallant countrymen ; and that we did not fall into the error which he so justly condemns, and accorded the praise which had been so nobly earned by the daring esealaders of the Redan. It is as follows : " It was unquestionably the close approaches of the French lines that enabled our gallant Allies to possess themselves so rapidly of the Malakhoff, the key' which speedily opened up Sebas topol, with all its accumulated stores, to the besieging force. It was the. open sesame,' which rendered admission easy, and placed the vast treasures of the forty (thousand) thieves' at the mercy of the possessors of the charm. The incessant and terrible bombardment maintained from the sth instant to the very moment of the onslaught had not merely thrown the Russians into confusion, but had compelled them to take shelter in the bomb-proof casements. The French storming party had but a few yards of open ground to cross. It was merely the business of a few seconds, and the forlorn hope' had esta blished itself within the defences before the Rus sians were sufficiently aroused from their astonish ment to offer a serious resistance to their daring assailants. Then, indeed, they fought fiercely— desperately. But the first coup had been inflicted, and it fully verified the apophthegm. It was even more than half the battle.' The Russians could never recover their lost ground, or succeed even for a moment in dislodging the vigorous escaladers. The capture of the Malakhoff was but the work of a few minutes. In less than a quarter of an hour after the time appointed for the at tack the tricolour was floating proudly over the Round Tower, gave the anxiously-looked-for sig nal that the time had arrived for the Britons to strike home,' and to test their power against the defences of the Great Redan, and up to that time the losses of the conquerors of the Mala khoff had been comparatively trivial when the magnitude of the undertaking and its vast con sequences are taken into consideration. "The awful bloodshed was chiefly occasioned by the attacks on the two Redans, and on the Cen tral and Quarantine Bastions—all of which were unsuccessful. There considerable spaces should necessarily be traversed under concentrated fires before the assailants got at their work—and ter rible losses were inflicted before a single ladder could be planted, or an attempt to scale the crowning batteries. General Simpson has been !ensured for not having had his advances as forward as those of our brave Allies. It was, lowever, a necessity of his position. It was itn ,ossible for him to do so. The ground was com manded by a flanking fire, and the working par ties would have been annihilated in the front trenches had they even the power of constructing them, or found them ready made for their use. It is easy for those who live at home at ease' to criticise the arrangements made by those who had ro bear the brunt of the encounter, and who freely and lavishly shed their blood in their country's cause. "Resides, although nominally the several attacks wailed, they accomplished all that was required— viz., to create such a diversion as would enable our brave Allies fully to establish themselves in the Malakhoff, and to prevent the Russians from directing their whole attention and their entire force against the great prize of the day. While the various onslaughts were taking place, the victors had the opportunity of establishing them selves in their position, which they nobly and man fully yielded against the repeated and energetic ittacks of the Russians, who bravely, but vainly, trove to regain that which they knew to be de ;isive of the fate of the entire city. Let us, then, not be disposed to treat in a captious spirit the brilliant deeds that have conferred so much honour on the Western Powers generally, or on vague guesses, or inadequate data, to condemn those of whom their country may well be proud." The interesting spectacle of a country fallen into almost unexampled decay rising from its ruins, and struggling with some degree of success towards a new development, has for some time past been exhibited in Egypt. At the present lay we are happy to perceive indications of in creasing vitality, and a brighter prospect than •ver of this Turkish province assuming its right 'lll position in the fields of commerce and civilisa tion. The land of the PHARAOHS and the PTOLEMYS, whose history is suggestive of the 4randest and most awe-inspiring associations in connection with human prigress—the land whose amazing fertility, immense resources, and utter prostration have for ages been the subject of poetry and song, has attracted the serious atten tion of the politicians of France and England, and been subjected to the survey of the engineer, who wants but capital to make her the highway of nations, and thereby elevate her to a position in which she may rival her former greatness, and be of essential service to the cause of liberty and civili sation so long and seriously menaced by Russian aggression. In former times the Mediterranean and Red Seas were connected by means of a canal, which, Owing to various causes, has long ceased to exist. The vast importance of Rych a communication was not likely to escape the keen eye of modern enter prise, and the feasibility of re-uniting these seas by the same means has of late years been the subject of considerable discussion. The results are that, after several preliminary surveys, it has been agreed on all hands that the cutting of a canal through the Isthmus of Suez is not only a desirable but a perfectly practicable scheme, and th a t two plans for its construction have been oflered. The levels of the two seas are, it ap pears, nearly the same, and the engineering diffi culties so trivial that a canal, 30 leagues in length, 300 feet in width, and with a depth of water 30 feet below low water in the Mediterranean, with all the necessary works, and available for the pas sage of steam-frigates and vessels of 1,500 tons burden, may be constructed at a cost of about half the amount expended on the railway from London to York, or about five times as much as was disbursed in law and Parliamentary expenses in order to obtain the power to make the line. These plans are known as the direct andindi• rect lines, th e f ormer of which not on l y is the most feasible, but is also the most likely to be adopted, a concession having been granted for its formation, by the Viceroy of Egypt, to M. FER DINAND DE LESSEPS, late Minister Plenipotentiary of France to Rome. The superiority of this line consists not only in its directness and the coun tenance given to it by his Highness SAID PAOHA, but also in the facilities it offers for commerce, and the fewer engineering difficulties to be encoun tered in its construction. The indirect line, which has its point of departure at Alexandria, joins the Nile below Cairo, and terminates at'' Suez, would, for instance, have to bridge the Nile at a point where that river is more than a mile in breadth, an undertaking, it must be COURT CIRCULAR.

BERLIN, SUNDAY. Prince Gortschakoff writes on the 4th Oct. in the evening : " Yesterday and to-day the enemy showed him self in the valley of the Upper Belbek, but towards night retired upon the heights of Baidar. No movement is visible among the Allied ships anchored along the coast by Eupatoria. " The fire of the enemy against the northern forts of Sebastopol continues as before." The following telegraphic despatches, with Con stantinople news of Sept. 27, are brought by the Thabor : MARSEILLES, SATURDAY. Marshal Pelissier is scouring the plain of Baidar. The Ist and 3d Corps are echeloned on the Tchernaya, as far as the other side of Baidar. The English, Sardinians, and twelve Turkish bat talions are ready to co-operate. General Bosquet, completely recovered, is about to resume his command. The heavy rains do not slacken the immense preparations of the Allies. Field pieces have been sent from the Turkish arsenals, as well as thousands of waggons, princi- pally from Sinope. The Sultan has sent Marshal Pelissier a mag nificent sabre, with the title of Sirdarekrem, and a patent granting him a pension of 200,000 f. a-year. Six steamers are closely blockading the port of Odessa. The news from Kars is to Sept. 22. All use less mouths and the greater part of the cavalry had been sent away. The Russians were bring ing up cannon. Omer Pacha was still at Batoum. The Turkish reinforcements had beaten the in surgents at Tripoli. The engineers at Sebastopol are digging long galleries as for mines, which, it is conjectured, are intended to entirely destroy, at some future time, the seaward defences of the city. The cannon recovered from under water in the bay raises the total of pieces of artillery captured by the Allies to the enormous number of 6,000. The general opinion in the army was that Marshal Pelissier intended to threaten Simphero pol with an attack by the army of Eupatoria, to force the Russians to change their positions, and then to profit by the movements they would be compelled to make to attack them. The Ottoman Government has conferred on Marshal Pelissier the dignity of a Marshal of the Empire. Several of our generals have been made paellas, and some of our colonels beys. The Anglo-Turkish contingent has gone to Schumla. According to the Presse d'Orient, the Austrians are about to quit the frontiers of Wallachia and take up their winter quarters in the towns in the interior of the Principalities. They are said to have recently received large supplies of ammuni tion. An English company has come forward at Constantinople to execute the railway between Belgrade and the capital. Other proposals are expected. FRANCE, We have received the Moniteur of yesterday. It publishes the following : " The Government of the Emperor has seen with deep regret the publication of a letter on the sub ject of the affairs of Naples of a nature to engender the belief that the policy of the Emperor, instead of being frank and loyal, as it has always been, toward, foreign Governments, might favour, underhand, certain pretensions. The Government openly disavows them, under whatever form they may appear. Generals Sir De Lacy Evans and Sir Michael Creagh are now in Paris. Sir Robert Peel is among the latest arrivals.

The respective squadrons off Seskar, Nargen, Sweaborg, in the Gulf of Both nia, and elsewhere, maintain their positions despite the equinoctial gales, which have set in with great violence in the Baltic. When the Vulture left Nargen the Commander absent at Seskar in th e fl ag - s hi p : h e expected to return to N argen on th e i w n a - s C , h h i e o f w v: v a e s r following day. The Prussian frigate Thetis, Captain the Prince William of Hesse, arrived here yesterday, and is now lying at anchor in the roads. The Thetis has during the last fuur months been cruising about in the Baltic, having visited Stockholm as well as other towns on the coast. Admiral Prince Adal bert of Prussia, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, bas also arrived here in the Thetis. RUSSIA. We have received the St. Petersburg journals of tie 29th September. The substance of the following telegraphic de spatch has already been given, but the version in tb e Invalide Busse is somewhat different from that tr ansmitted by the wires The Invalide says-- ""under date of the 26th of September Prince Gort s 6hakoff has forwarded the following despatch : " 'Yesterday the enemy left Eupatoria in considerable force, amounting, according to the evaluation of the neral of Cavalry Schabelsky, to about 33,000 men, an I occupied on one side the village of Saki and on the oth, er the villages of Schabak, Orta-Matnai, and Tup- San lei, but after noon they withdrew. Our outposts, which had momentarily fallen back, then resumed their posi. tions. " 'Nothing new bas taken place on our left flank. " The enemy are increasing the fire of their mortars against the north side of Sebastopol. A successful skirmish has taken place near Kertcb, betwe sn our Cossacks and an Anglo-French foraging party. Twenty-five English and French hussars were made pirisoners in this affair.' A telegraphic despatch, via Berlin, Oct. 7,, pub lished in the Constitutionnel, says : "The Invalide Busse, of the 30th of Septembe►•, pub lishes a report from General Mouravieff, to the effect that on the 11th of September that General d efeated 3,000 Turks and took prisoner the brave Ali Pasha. He is, moreover, said to have captured four gums and three standards. " The Turks are said to have lost 400 men in this affair." Another despatch says : " An order of the Emperor Alexander probibits the exportation of coarse grey cloth or any other colour by the land frontier of Poland and of European Russia." No mention is made in the Russian bulletins of tide cavalry engagement at Eupatoria. The Moscow Gazette announces tha departure of thoErnyress of R uss i a a n d h er farnT.ly from that cap, , .tal on their return .to St. Peteri:ourg.

Austria bases her conduct on what the Sardinian government did when Jo seph 11. abolished the convents and monasteries, without bearing in mind that at that period a bona fide abolition was effected, which is not the case at present. The Sardinian cabinet is discussing the question with Austria on legal grounds." PIEDMONT. By a royal ordonnance, signed for the King of Sardinia by Prince de Carignan, the military order of Savoy, founded in 1815, has been reconstituted for the purpose of recompensing distinguished ser vices rendered by the Sardinian troops in the course of the present war. It is to comprehend four classes—grand cross, commander, officer, and knight. The King of Sardinia has conferred the Grand Cross of the said order on Marshal Pelis- Bier, General Simpson, and General de la Mar mora. Letters from the Finnish coast mention that several persons, most of them mayors, have been arrested in Finland, by order of the military com mandants in the various districts. The causes of these arrests-80 in number—are stated to be poli tical. A letter from Berlin of the 3d, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" It is positively stated that Prus sia and Austria have come to an understanding as to the manner of treating the Eastern question be fore the Diet. They have agreed that no proposi tions shall be made on the subject at the re-open ing of that assembly, as Austria previously had an intention of doing." AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. By the arrival this afternoon Of the Cunard. Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, Capt. Wm. Harrison, we have advices from New York to the 25th, Boston to the 26th, and Halifax to the 27th ult. The Africa passed the America, hence, between Halifax and Boston, on the 27th ult. ; the Pacific, hence for New York, on the 29th ; the North Star, from Havre and Southampton for New York, on the 30th ult. ; and on the 3d inst., the steam-ship Canada, hence to Boston. The Africa brought 223 passengers and 556,315 dollars in specie. The news by the Africa is four days later than that brought by the Arago, but there is no intelli gence of importance in the advices to hand. The New York Herald of the 25th ult. says : " The immense consumption of gunpowder which has been for some time going on between the belligerents in the Eastern war has begun to tell upon the prices of lead and sa►tpetre. Since the arrival of the Baltic, lead has advanced to 62c. to 63c. per lb , with free sales on speculation, of both foreign and domestic. 3,200 pigs of Galena changed bands at the above quotations. At last accounts the stock in England was very materially reduced, while prices ruled at higher figures. The stock of saltpetre in the United States has become very small, and prices have undergone a great advance. Crude, which before the war sold at about 7c. to 7in, is now very firm at 15c. There can be no destructive wars without " villanous saltpetre." It must be had in large supplies, or the system of war must go back to the use of hand-to-hand implements. Our government, having experienced great difficulties for the want of it during the Revolution, os well as in the war of 1812, bas since been more provident for future contingencies, and Con gress has for some 20 or 30 years past appropriated about $20,000 per annum for the purchase and storage of salt petre, so that we might now probably stand a five or ten , years' war even without entirely exhausting our supplies. " Accounts from the south respecting the epidemic are still gloomy. At Norfolk there is no abatement of the fever. At Memphis, Natchez, Vicksburg, and in fact at all the towns on the Mississippi, the epidemic rages with fearful virulence, and the citizens are fleeing from their homes. At New Orleans, however, the fever is no longer regarded as epidemic. "The telegraph reports that the yellow fever has made its appearance at Canton, Mississippi, and that 60 cases and 10 deaths bad taken place during the week ending on the 11th inst. From St. Louis, under date Sept. 24, we have the following intelligence : " A great battle took place on the 3d inst., at Sand hills, near the south fork of the Platte river, between the Sioux Indians and the entire force of United States troops under General Harney, numbering about 450 men. Major Cady commanded the infantry, and Colo nel Cook the dragoons, mounted infantry, and artill er y. The battle commenced early in the morning, and lasted several hours. The Indians fought desperately, but were routed. A running fight for some ten miles fol lowed, during which the Indians fought with much gallantry. They were, however, defeated, with the loss of 80 men killed, and 50 women and children taken prisoners. The Indian women fought furiously. Gene ral Harney lost six killed and as many wounded. No officers were killed. The Indians engaged in this battle were the Brule and Sioux—the same that mas sacred Lieutenant Gratton's command, and murdered a mail party, the waybill of the mail having been found with them." CUBA. The steam-ship Black Warrior has arrived at New Orleans with Havannah dates to the 17th of September. There was no political news. Sugar was firm, with an upward tendency in prices. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORE, Sept. 25.—The bank statement shows for the week a decrease under each head reported. We think the pre ,, ent week will show a reaction, and a recovery of a large portion of the late loss. Exchange on London is now receding to the specie point, and the export of coin may be said now to be mainly stopped. This reduc tion of the rate for bills on England and on the Con tinent must follow the large shipments of cotton and breadstuffs. The rates on loans remain without any material change. There is still an active demacd for capital, even at the high rates before reported. The stock market is less buoyant in some particulars. The western railroads are in favour, consequent upon the large receipts anticipated for them, and are held firmly at higher rates. Erie sold down to 56a at the first board, and afterwards was offered at 551- ; Reading fell off to 95, and was afterwards offered at 94f. Pa. nama dropped to 1051 ; Nicaragua improved. The market for state flour is heavy, with more sellers than buyers, at a decline of 12io. from the rates current on Saturday. Western is in good demand, both for export and for home consumption. Southern flour is firm. Canadian is quiet. Rye flour is firm, but quiet. Corn meal is unchanged. Wheat continues ac tive, and prime lots for shipping are in good demand ; the sales include 11,200 bushels white Southern, at 2 doll. sc. to 2 doll. 11c., including 9,000 bushels on shipboard at the inside rate, freight Bd. ; 21,300 red Southern, at 1 dol. 85c. to 1 dol. 96c., the latter for amber coloured ; 2.200 Illinois red at 1 dol. 90c.; 21,100 white Canadian, at 2 dole. sc. to 2 dole. 12c., including 10,000 to arrive next week, at the higher rate ; 30,000 r , d Upper Lake, part to arrive, at 1 dol. 68c. to 1 dol. 70c. ; 3,500 white California, at 1 dol. 88c. to 2 doll. ; and 300 white Jersey, at 1 dol. 96c. Rye is still in good demand, with sales at 1 dol. 17c. to 1 dol. 20c., the lower rate for Jersey, including 5,000 at 1 dol. 18c. Oats are firm at 33c. to 36.1. for Southern and Jersey, and 38c. to 42c. for State and Western. Corn is less active ; the sales are 87c. to 880. for Western mixed, closing at 88c. to 881ic. for shipping lots. Barley is firm, with sales said to be at 1 dol. 374 c.

The cotton market was unchanged ; wheat had slightly declined, but no change was noticeable in Indian corn. Money was alto without change. The America and Washington steamers conveyed to the United Sbates the news of the fall of Sebas topol. THIS DAY'S NEWS LAW INTELLIGENCE. BANKRUPTCY COURT. (Before Mr. CAnmissioner Evans.) IN RE THOMAS BILLING. This was a meeting for certificate. The bankrupt was described as of Fair-street, Cam► bridge, cooper. The bankrupt obtained his certificate. IN RE G. S. BAGLEY. This was a meeting for last examination. The bankrupt was described as of Crown-court, Phil pot-lane, merchant. No accounts having been filed, the examination was accordingly adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Thomas Moss was placed at the bar before Sir P. Laurie, for final examination, charged with stealing 13 reams of paper, the property of Messrs. Millington, Bridge-row, wholesale stationers, and Henry Wake, carman, Thos. Miller, warehouseman, and Edward Lewis White, box-maker, were charged with receiving the same knowing it to have been stolen. The prisoners have been twice before examined on the charge, the particulars of which have already appeared in The Sun. After hearing some further evidence to complete the case, Mr. Wontner, who appeared for the prosecution, asked for the committal of the prisoners. Sir P. Laurie accordingly committed them for trial at the next sessions. GUILDHALL. VIOLENT ASSAULT. —Florance Donavon, an Irishman, a notoriously disorderly character, and who has been on several occasions fined and inprisoned for violent assaults on police and others, was charged before Mr. Alderman Hunter with a violent assault on his brother-in-law, and police-constables 150 and 15E. His brother-in-law, whose head was much bruised, the result of the prisoner's ill-usage, declined to prefer any charge againatihim, but the assault on the police was entered into. Police-constable 158 deposed that last night he was called to the prisoner's!residence, Vine-court, Moor-lane, in consequence of his assaulting his brother-in-law, and as he was about to take him into custody he struck com plainant in the face with his hand. The prisoner, who had a poker in his other hand, became very violent, and threatened to knock the policeman's brains out, and it was necessary to send to the station for assistance. On the arrival of police-constable 150 the prisoner ran into his room and locked the door, which had to be broken open to get at him, and it required the assistance of three other policemen to convey him to the station-house. Police-constable 158's thumb was so much injured as to require surgical assistance. Springate, the gaoler, said the prisoner and his family were notorious characters. His wife and son were fined on 26th August for assaults. Mr. Alderman Hunter said it was useless to fine such a ruffian as the prisoner appeared to be, and sentenced him to 21 days, with hard labour. SOUTHWARK. CHILD DESERTION—AN INHUMAN MOTHER.—Hannah. Walker, a dissipated-looking female, whose husband is employed in the Army Corps in the Crimea, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with deserting her two young children, leaving them without food and charge able to the parish of Saint Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey. The porter of the workhouse stated that on Thursday last about half•past one o'clock a female came to the gates with two young children, a little boy about four, and a girl about six years old. She said she had found them wandering about the streets. Witness knew the children to belong to the pri , oner, who had been twice in the workhouse with them, consequently they were ad mitted, and information was given to the relieving officer and the police. Mr. Chas. Slow, one of the relieving officers of the parish of Bermondsey, said he knew the prisoner and the two children in court. Her husband is employed as a navi gator in the Crimea, and regularly remits her 2/. Bs. a month, which he had seen paid to her. She, how ever, was a great drunkard, and had twice been in their workhouse in July. In August she was passed to Christ church, and afterwards she came with her children and lived in Bermondsey. As soon as he found she had de serted her children again on Thursday last he gave in• formation to the police, and on Saturday night she was apprehended in Dockhead, drinking in a public house. In answer to the charge the prisoner said she went out on Thursday morning to purchase food, and on her return she missed her children, and was told they had been taken to the workhouse. Being without money she did not like to go and fetch them, until a neighbour, whom she had lent Bs. to, paid her back. She intended to have fetched them from the workhouse immediately. Mr. Slow said she was a very bad woman, and spent all her money in drink, leaving her children unprovided for on many occasions. He should, therefore, press for punishment. Mr. A'Beckett committed her to Wandsworth House of Correction for one month, with bard labour. He hoped that would be a caution to her to be more careful of her children for the future. THAMES. RIOT AND ASSAULT AT THE GARRICK THEATRE.— Benjamin Mayers, a fashionably-dressed man, about 30 years of age, and wearing a moustache, was brought be fore Mr. Yardley, charged with throwing a bag of flour at Mr. Michael Levy, a baker, of No. 6, Petticoat-lane, Whitechapel, while the latter was performing the cha ractPr of Tom Tug, in Dibdin's opera of The Waterman, on Saturday night, in the Garrick Theatre. Mr. Levy, a solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Salomon, solicitor, of No. 92, Borough-road, defended the prisoner. All the parties are of the Jewish persuasion, and there was a strong muster of Israelites present. It appeared from the evidence that there had been a quarrel between the complainant and defendant on the evening of the 30th ult., while attending a meeting to forward the success of a charitable institution, of which both persons are members. On Saturday there was an amateur performance at the Garrick Theatre, for the benefit of an aged member of the Jewish persuasion, who was in great poverty. The complainant essayed the part of Tom Tug, and he had no sooner appeared on the stage when the defendant, who had just left his own box in the centre of the theatre, appeared in a private box, overhanging the stage, and threw a bag of flour at Mr. Levy. The bag was burst, and the complainant was covered with flour. A scene of great riot and confusion ensued, the audience called out " Turn him out," and an attempt was made to eject Mr. Mayers, who made a violent resistance, and kicked and struck several persons. Some of the benches were torn up and thrown on the stage, a number of black guard urchins commenced fighting in the gallery, women were screaming, and some females were carried out in a fainting condition. The riot lasted a considerable time, and it was with the greatest difficulty peace was restored by Mr. Gaston, the proprietor. Some of the people were very indignant, and it was said they would have killed Mr. Mayers if they could have got at him. It was elicited, in cross-examination by Mr. Salomon, that there was a good deal of " chaff " and fun going on all the evening, and that while The Rake's Progress, the first piece, was being performed, apples were thrown on the stage, and short pipes were smoked among theselect portion of the audience in the boxes. John and Solomon Jacobs, two Jews, swore that the bag of flour was thrown by Mr. Levy, and it struck him on the head and rebounded and hit him on the shoulder. It was also elicited that a board was thrown on the stage before the flour was thrown. Mr. Edward Gaston, lessee of the theatre, denied there were any apples thrown on the stage during The Rake's Progress, or any smoking. There was no further disturbance in the course of The Rake's Progress than what always arose from the inconvenience of a crowded house. The disturbance continued 20 minutes, and he was obliged to drop the curtain and dismiss the audience without the performance of the second piece. The theatre was much injured, seats in the pit and gallery torn up, and looking-,glasses broken. Mr. Solomon a d m i tte d that his client ha d thought lessly and indiscreetly thrown the bag of flour at the complainant, but it did not go over him. There had been a good deal of fun and practical joking all the evening. Mr. Gaston, in answer to a question of Mr. Yardley, said the damage done amounted to 81. or 91., but Mr. Levy said it amounted to 12/. or 151. Mr. Yardley said the defendant had committed a most absurd, childish, idiotic, and malicious act, and he ought to have ma le an apology and pail for the damage. Alter a long discussion, the defendant expressed his regret, made an ample apology, and paid Si. towards making good the loss incurred by Mr. Gaston, the lessee. 11 NEWS.—(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The loading country markets held on Saturday were mo derately supplied with wheat, and the demand for mod kinds ruled steady, at full prices. Barley and all other kinds of grain were firm ; but the sale for flour was in' active. Our latest advices from New York state that a moderate business was doing in flour and grain on English account. The whole of the Continental markets are very dull. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were small. From abroad we received 3,490 quarters of wheat, 480 barley, 4,141 oats, 1,872 beans, 340 peas, 183 tares, 9543 linseed, 4,6 9 3 rapeseed, 18 mustard seed, 29 9 sundry se. de, 2,142 sacks and 4,164 barrels of flour. The arrivals of E ng li s h w h ea t f res h u p t o thi s morning, 1 to :rket, coastwise from Essex and Kent, were moderate. By land carriage the receipts of that grain were small' As a good clearance of the stands was effected on Friday the show of samples was far from extensive, though 10 about an average conditio n . Th e a tt en d ance of large buyers was thin, yet the demand for most kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, and a fair clearance was effected at last Monday's currency. With foreign wheat we were but moderately supplied' For export there was scarcely any i nqu i ry, an d f or horns eonsumption we had only a limited demand. Importers , however, were firm in their demands, and last week's quo' tations were supported. Floating cargoes were firm, and held at very full prices' Very little barley, either English or foreign, was in the market, and the trade was steady, at fully late rates. Malt was in good request, at full currencies. Several large parcels of oats were sold for shipment is the Crimea, on account of the French Government, and the oat trade was firm, at 6d to is per quarter above last Mon' day's quotations. Beans and peas were in short supply, and fair request, at full prices. We had only a moderate demand for flour, yet p r ices were supported. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The prices latel obtained for the Irish stock disposed of here are consider very remunerative. Last week the receipts direct by se" were 164 beasts. There was a, full average supply of foreign stook in to' day's market. The show of Irish amounted to 341 bow° and 1,000 sheep, mostly in prime condition. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our grazing district/ were very moderate and in middling condition, bat the total supply of that description of stock was good as t° number. All kinds moved off slowly at a decliate in th e prices obtained on Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The tor figure was 4s 8d per 81bs. From Lilneolnshire, Leicestershire,' and North am ptoo' shire we received 1,900 short horns, and from other part/ of England 4'lo of various kinds. No fresh supplies carn e to hand from Scotland. For the time of year we were scantily supplied wi t ): sheep, both as to number and quality. The prin aest kW: were in moderate request, yet the highest figure I Or Dow!: did not exceed 5s for 81bs, otherwise the mutton trade 10 ' heavy; nevertheless prices were supported.
