HULL, Nov. 10.—Arrd. Aurora, Hunter, St. John's, New Brunswick. MARKET NEWs.—(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-(MONDAY.) . The country markets held on Saturday were tolerably steady for most kinds of fine Wheat, at full prices; bat the middling and inferior kinds were a slow inquiry. The best grinding Barley, as well as most other kinds of grain were mostly disposed of at fully previous rates. The latest accounts from the Continent state that the demand for all articles of grain for shipment to Eng land was limited. At Daniz'e, Wheat declined 3s per quarter, although the supply of shipping was ♦ery abundant. Up to our market, last week, the receipts of all grain of home produce were small, but upwards of 14,000 quarters of Oats came to hand from Ireland. The foreign importations were composed of 10,725 quarters of Wheat, 2,886 ditto of Barley, 16,607 ditto of Oats, 101 ditto of Rye, 667 ditto of Beans, 380 ditto of Peas, 3,200 ditto of Linseed, 11 ditto of Rapeseed, 102 ditto of Mustard Seed, 1,503 ditto of sundry seeds, 3,759 sacks and 158 barrels of Flour. The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to our market this morning coastwise from Essex and Kent was small; that from Cambridgskire,Lincolnsbire,&c.,was trifling in the extreme. By land carriage and sample the supply fell off ; however, the show of samples of both red and white was wholly inadequate to meet the wants of the millers, whose attendance was somewhat on the increase Nearly all descriptions were in steady request; and, in some instances, selected qualities of white commanded Is per quarter more money than on this day se'nnight. A clearance of the middling and inferior kinds was readily effected at very full prices. With foreign Wheat we were tolerably well but not to say heavily supplied. Fine parcels sold steadily at fully last week's currencies. In all other kinds com paratively little business was passing at late rates. Several offers came to band from Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire to ship wheats. In floating cargoes of foreign exceedingly little was doing. We had a very moderate supply of English Barley on show, while that of foreign was smaller than for some time past. Grinding qualities moved off freely at very full prices, but malting and distilling sorts were neglected. In the quotations we have no change to notice, .although the supply of both old and new Malt offering was very moderate, the demand for that article, as the principal brewers are not general buyers, was heavy, and late rates were with difficulty supported. With Irish Oats we were some what extensively supplied, but the - show of Eng. lisp, Scotch, and Foreign was small. Fine parcels were mostly disposed of at full prices. Damp and weathered qualities ruled dull, and the quotations were the turn in favour of the buyers. The sale for Beans, especially old qualities, was steady, and late rates were supported. Peas mere in short supply, and fair request, at lull prices. Indian Corn and Meal almost nominal. The best parcels of Flour, both English and Foreign, were firm. Otherwise the Flour trade was inactive. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The total imports of Foreign Sto ck into London, since this day se'nnight, have amounted to 4,412 head, being an increase of 440 head compared with those of the pre ceding week. During the corresponding period in 1848 we received 4,085, and at the same time. in 1849, 4,950 head; hence it will be perceived that the importations continue on a fair average scale. Letters from Holland state that the supply of stock in that country, ready for our markets, is still very large, but we do not anticipate heavy arrivals, unless prices here should go up.

At Hull and the other northern outports about 1,000 head of stock have been landed from Holland and Den mark, and a few French beasts have arrived in the southern ports. By sea, from Ireland 38 Oxen have come to hand for this market. The following official statement shows the total importations of foreign stock into the United Kingdom, during the first nine months of the present and three previous years, ending on the 10th of October in each year : 1846. 1847. 1848. 1849.

That of Sheep and Calves was very moderate. There was a considerable increase in the arrivals of home-fed Beasts put up to day—the excess in number, compared with Monday last, being about 600 head. The general quality of the Bullock supply was very inferior. The scarcity of prime Scots, Devons, Herefords, &c., produced a moderate inquiry for those breeds, at full rates of currency—the top figures for Beef ruling from 3s 10d to 4s per 81bs, but in the middling and inferior qualities, only a limited business was transacted, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamp• tonshire, we received about 2,000 Short Horns ; from the eastern, western, and midland counties, 700 Herefords, Hunts, Devons, Scots, &c. ; and from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds. With Sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say hea vily supplied. The number of Downs were unusually small. As the dead markets were well filled, the Mutton trade here to-day was in a very inactive state, at a fall in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The general top figure for Beef was 4s per 81bs, at which a clear ance was effected. The supply of Calves was but mode rate, nevertheless the Veal trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. Prime small Porkers moved off stew dily, at full rates of currency. Otherwise the Pork trade was dull. Per albs. to sink the offal. O. d. to s. 4. s. d. to s. d.

The arrivals of country•killed meat having been con siderably on the increase, the general demand has con tinued in a very inactive state since our last report, and prices of the middling and inferior kinds of Beef,.Mutton, and Veal, have declined quite 2d per Slbs. About 900 carcases of foreign meat have been disposed of, and four packages have arrived from Ostend. The supplies slaughtered in the metropolis have been mostly very de ficient in quality.

Samples ot diseased borne- grown Potatoes have come to hand; but the general quality of those from abroad is good.

Last week'. imports of wool into London were con fined to 620 bales from Algoa Bay, 190 from the Cape, 78 from Bombay, 148 irom Hamburgb, 3 from Jamaica, 349 from Odessa, and 6 from Ostend, together with 40 SUN, LONDON, from Ireland. The private market is by no means heavily supplied with either foreign or colonial qualities, but the quantity of Engli h offering is large. For most kinds, the demand is in a sluggish state, and, late rates are barely supported. SEED. The supply of linseed offering being small, that article ruled steady, and fine samples commanded rather more money. In other seeds, as well as cakes, only a limited business was transacted. The total imports of linseed into Hull this year have been only 195,192 quarters, against 315,244 ditto in 1848. The stock of clover seed in bond is 44,000 cwts.

The prosecutor stated that between twelve and one o'clock on Sunday morning, he went to a house in Church-lane, St. Giles's, to purchase a small quantity of gin, and when he got there he found the place full of people. While he was being served, the prisoner Conron, producing a pair of scissors, cut the guard of his watch, and snatching it from his fob, he handed it to the prisoner Foley, who decamped with it. A policeman came up, and he gave Conron into cus tody at once, but it was not till they got to the station that they found Foley. Police-constable Hall, of the E division, deposed to the fact of the two prisoners being given into his custody—the one at the house in St. Giles's and the other near to the station, but upon neither was the watch found. He produced the vinegar bottle of a cruet stand, containing gin, which he took from the prosecutor, who certainly was not sober when he made the charge. Conron said he knew nothing of the watch, but admitted being at the house in St. Giles's when the prosecutor came in with a couple of women, whom he treated to sixpennyworth of gin. The room was full at the time, and he saw two or three men hustle him, and no doubt they stole his watch. Mr. HALL—What are you ? Coaron—A brick layer's labourer. I have worked for Mr. Massey, of Guildford-street, for five years; but I have not had work for the last two months. Mr. HALL—WeII, Foley, what have you to say ? Foley—Why, I have got this here to say, that I were as innocent as the babby wot's unborn. Mike Curtis is the feller wot's got the watch, and if you'll let me out for a hour I'll be bound to find him. I was not in the room when the watch was stole, but I heard a cry of " Police," and I ran up to see what was the matter. I seed this here chap (Conron) at the door, and I says to him " Halloa, Bill, wot's the row ? " " Why" say's be, " here's Mike Curtis bin and took a cove's watch, and gived it to Dennis Macarthy, wot's bolted with it." Vith that yer Worship, Bill was took, and when the prosecutor sees me at the station, he says to Mr. Hall " This is the man which received the watch from the chap in the flannel jacket ;" and I says, " Vell, if you think I've got yer watch you'd better give me in charge," and so he did yer Worship. Mr. HALL asked what sort of a house this was ? The inspector said it was a low house, where thieves and prostitutes resorted for spirits after the public houses were closed on Saturday. It was kept by the man Foley, who had already suffered three months' imprisonment for vending exciseable liquors without a licence. Mr. HALL (to the prisoner)—Who is this Mike Curtis ? Foley—Oh, he's a chap wot hangs about the lane. Wery few of the E dewision knows him, but all the F's does. Mr. HALL—WeII, what are you ? Foley—Why, I hawkes fruit about the street. Mr. HALL observed that it was highly improper to sell gin in the way the inspector had described. Such houses as this were the bane of society. The inspector said the circumstances of the case had been made known to the Excise authorities. Mr. HALL said it was his duty to commit them for trial, but as the prosecutor had evidently been too drunk to recognise them with that degree of cer tainty that a jury would require, he would admit them to bail. Foley—Your Worship, Nottall, the policeman, knows me. I'm werry well known in St. Giles's, and if you'll let me go, I'll be bound to come up at the trial. Mr. HALL said be could not consent to liberate him without finding sureties. The two prisoners were then fully committed for trial at the ensuing Old Bailey sessions. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stu,—Under the head of " Lloyd's Shipping, this day, Deal, Nov. 9th," you have stated, arrived from the River, Clifton, Beazely, Port Philip. Now, as I had friends, passengers by that ship, and they being in London yesterday from Gravesend (where the ship has been since this day week), I felt immediately some fear they must have lost their passage, and on receiving your paper this evening at once hastened to the City for information. At Lloyd's no report of the sort could be found, and I found a friend on his way, by the seven o'clock train, to join those wait ing at Gravesend for the ship to sail, which it is not expected she will do before to-morrow or Monday. I draw your attention to this error, as it may have misled others as well as myself.—Yours, &c., A SUBSCRIBER TO YOUR PAPER FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS. November 10, 1849.

TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN RUSSELL, ONE OF HER MAJESTY'S PRINCIPAL SE CRETARIES OF STATE. My Lord,—As the Minister of a great country cannot have much time fir the exhuming of autho rities, I have taken the liberty of addressing to you correct extracts of the original Latin and contem porary translation of the Confession of Augsburg, from the copiekin the Library of the British 'A luieum ; containing the protest of the early leaders of Protes tantism against the enforced observance of a Seventh Day. An extract is further appended from the Church of England's Catechism, presenting the part in which that Church, in obedience to the direction of the Apostle, refuses to recognize the Fourth Jewish Commandment as binding upon Christians. And there is finally added the original Greek of the Apostle's prohibition ; with a translation more exact than, from want of access to references, may hare appeared in some preceding parts of this discu=sion. I'o/. 29. If byshops haue auctoritie to onerate and lade churches with infynite traditions and to snare the consciences, why doth scrypture so often prohibete to make and to hears traditions? Why dothe it call them doctrynes of deuyls [devils 1? Dyd the holy ghost warne those thynges before in vayne? Wherfore it muste nedes consequently ensue, that ayth ordenaunces instituted as thynges necessary, or with an opinion to deserue remission of rynne, be contrary to the gospell : that it is not lawfull for any byshop to institute or require such honours [observances]. For it is necessary that the doctryne of Chrysten [Christian] libertie be kepte styli in the churches, whiche is that the bondage of the laws is not necessary to iustification, as it is wryten in the epistle to the Galathians Be not subiecte agayne to the yoke of bondage. The cbyef place of the gospell musts nedes be kepte styli, whiche is, that we optayne remission cf synnes, and iustification freely by fayth in Chryste, and not for cer tayne obseruations of honours devysed by men. What shat we thynke than of the Sonday and lyke rytes of the temples? To this our lerned men sue, that it is law full to byshops or to pastors to make ordynaunces, that thinges be ordrelye done in the Churche not that we shulde purchase by them remyssion of sinnes, or that we can satiafie for sinnes, or that consciences be bounde to iudge them ne cessary honours, or to thynke that they sinne, whan without offence of other they breake them. So Paule doth ordeyne that in the congregation that women shulde couer theyr heeddes, and that interpreters and teachers be herde after an ordre in the Churche. It is conuenient that the Churches shulde kepe suche or dinaunses for charitie and tranquilite se farre forth that one offendeth not another that all thynges be done in the churches in ordre, and without busynes and trouble, but yet so that the conscience be not charged, as to thynke that they be necessary to saluacion, or to judge that they synne whan they breake them without hurtynge of others. As no man wyll saye that a woman doth synne which gothe forthe abrode bare heded offendynge no body ther with. Euen suche is the obseruation and kepyng of the Sonday, of Easter, of l'enthecoste, and lyke holydayes and rytes. For they that judge that by the auctorite of the churche the obseruynge of the Sondaye in stede of the Sabbat day was ordeyned as a thyng necessary do greatly erre. The scryp ture permitteth and graunteth that the kepynge of the Sab bat daye is nowe free, for it teacheth that the ceremonies of Moyses laws after the reuelation and shewynge abrode of the gospell are not necessarye. And yet because it was nedefull to ordeyne a certayne daye, that the people myght know whan they ought to come together it appereth that the Church dyd apoynt the Sonday, whiche day (as it semeth) pleased them rather than the Sabbat daye, euen for this cause, that men myght haue an example of Chrysten libertie, and myght knowe that the kepynge and the obser vation neyther of the saturday nor of any other day is ne cessary. Prodygyous, monstruous, and wonderful disputations are set forth of the chaungynge of the la*e, of the ceremonies of the new lawe, of the chaungyng of the Sabbat day, which all bane spronge forth of a false persuation and beleue of men, whiche thought that there muste nedes be in the churche an honouryng of God, lyke to the leuiticall, and that Chryst commytted, to the apostles and to byshops auctorytie to in uent and to fynde out ceremonies, whiche be necessary to saluation. These erronrs crepte in to the church whan the ryghtuousnes of faythe was not clearely ynough taught. Some dispute that the kepynge of the Sondaye is not merely and fully goddes lawe, but in a maner, as it were of the law of god. LThe literal translation accords best with modern use ; " is not of divine right, but of quasi divine right." I They prescrybe of holy dayes, howe far forth it is lawful' to works. Suche maner of disputations, what other thynges be they but snares of consciences. For all though they busy them selues to modefye, qualifie, and fynde an epikee in thevr tra dycions, 'For however they may try to make out their tra ditions to be Eaietxeias, epieikeias," conventional proprieties," —in allusion to a preceding place where the Greek word is introduced as employed by the opponents.] temperynge the rygour of them with fauourable declarations, yet notwith standynge as longe as the opinion that they are necessary doth remayne (whiche must nedes remayne where ryghtu ousnes of faythe, and Chrysten libertie are not knowen) this epikee equitye I conventional propriety] and fauour can neuer be perceyued ne knowen. The paragraphs are divided as in the original Latin ; which is not done in the book. After two more paragraphs, and a brief but impressive " Con clusion of the Boke," the signatures of the princely fathers of Protestantism are given as follow : To the imperiall maiestie of Cesr the fyfte, his faythfull and true subiectes.

The pages are not numbered in the part extracted from, but the extracts begin in the 64th page.] '!he Church of England in her Catechism, in the answers to the question " What doat thou chiefly learn by these Commandments ?" lays down as follows: " My duty towards God, is to believe in him, to fear him, and to love him with all my heart, with all my mind, with all my soul, and with all my strength ; to worship him, to give him thanks, to put my whole trust in him, to c a ll upon him, to honour his: holy Name and his Word, and to serve him truly all the days of my life." In which it is plain the Church of England has no more idea of deriving the obligation of a Seventh Day from the Fourth Commandment, than the obliga tion of honouring the Pope from the Fifth. The passage in which the Apostle prohibits the observation of sabbaths, is as follows, with an exact translation. MilOvvTlS tp.as tcptvive Ev 13priret ?v ITOCTEI, ?v tapt, vov,unvias, c rasod.rwv.

Mr. Editor,—On Thursday next we are all to thank God, according to law, for the abatement of the cholera. There will, undoubtedly, be much real and heartfelt devotion on the occasion ; and there will, as undoubtedly, be cant and conventionalism, assumption, impertinence, and hypocrisy, in great abundance. It is to the correction of this iniquitous alloy that I would now address myself. '1 he positivity with which some people speak of the designs and dealings of Providence is very presump tuous, considering that Heaven bas never called them to its secret councils. Some of the Clergy, and of those who act as their sycophants and tools, are con tinually repeating that the cholera came because God was angry ; and they further pretend to say why God was angry, one frequently assigned reason being, that letters are posted, sorted, or carried on the:Sund ay , and other acts done of similar harmlessness and utility, about which no considerate person would be angry, much less put people to death by thousands who had nothing to do with the transaction in question, or who, perhaps, raised their voices in its reprobation. Stuff of this sort disgraces and stultifies a national thanksgiving. Look at the profane ,impudence of the " Lord's Day Observance Society," in their memorial to the Lords of the Treasury. They say, " that the continuance of that Divine judg ment under which the nation now suffers, and for which it has spontaneously humbled itself before God, is to be apprehended, if his solemn and emphatic command, ' Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day,' be thus more and more set at nought in a most important national department." Now, see how facts have rebuked these dogmatical pretenders. Their hit at the Government about a national fast day was disregarded—and ye the cholera has abated. Their protest against the new Post-office regulation was disregarded ; the plan is in actual operation— and yet the cholera has abated. The attempt, whether made by an agent of the Lord's Day Ob servance Society or by some independent zealot, influenced, perhaps, by their publications, and by the platform fervour of clerical oratory, to upset the mailcarts and Post-office omnibuses, by placing a ladder in their route, has failed—and yet the cholera has abated. It is demonstrably plain that they were wrong about the Deity being angry at all ; or wrong as to the reason of his wrath ; or wrong in taking the cholera for a manifestation of that anger. A truce, then, to these spiritual impertinences on the approaching Thanksgiving Day ! The Pharisees are put to shame by events ; or would be, were they capable of shame tor detected imposition. If the incumbents and churchwardens did their duty, every acting member of the Lord's Day Observance Society would be made to stand through the service in a white sheet, in his parish church, on Thursday next. While other people sing praises, with frank voices and lusty hearts, penance anu prayer should be the portion of those who trifle with truth, slander their neighbours, make "judgments' of calamities, and pretend that all is for the glory of God. Everybody knoss s how and why the cholera comes. The Sabbath is broken at Birmingham and Notting ham as much as in the London Post-office, and yet it came not there. Neither of these towns is par ticularly churchified. The inhabitants had the good sense to take precautions. Water supply was in creased—medical visitation was established—nuisances were abated. The enemy was kept at bay, and scarcely touched their borders. This was better than pious canting and criminating. It did the work. If Deity was really angry with other towns, as these pretenders say, it shows the reason why, much more truly than they can tell; it also (to argue on their principle) shows that for their vigorous sanitary precautions with Birmingham and Nottingham Providence was pleased. Several classes of hypocrites will make themselves prominent on the Thanksgiving Day, some of whom I shall particularize. First and foremost, all those of the Clergy who have, directly or indirectly, opposed themselves to the abolition of intramural burial. "In all the larger parochial burying-grounds" says Mr. Simon, in his late able and admirabl report, "where the maintenance of a right to bury can be considered important ; in all such, and in most others too, the soil is saturated and super saturated with animal matter undergoing slow decom position." The Church is thus a focus of physical poison, which infects the entire atmosphere. And what has been the difficulty, what is the difficulty, of a complete transfer of funerals to appropriate locali ties beyond the boundaries of the metropolis ? The clerical claims for funeral fees. Never let this be forgotten. The pestiferous practice of intramural burial would have half abolished itself, at least, but for the obstruction to forming suburban cemeteries, and, when formed, the inordinate tax upon them for the advantage of the clergy. Projectors of cemeteries have long stood in dread of the opposition of the Bishop of London in the House of Lords, unless they submitted to most unreasonable exactions. And yet there will be gowned and cassocked men on ,Thurs day, raising their voices in tones of pious gratitude to Heaven fur the cessation of the plague, whose ravages were aggravated by the consequences of their cupidity. Out upon it ! Their " offence is rank ; it smells to Heaven." The next class of thanksgiving hypocrites will be your local magnates, your Select Vestryman, your Corporation leaders, your Monopolist Company Mana gers, all who, from affected or exaggerated jealousy of Government interference, or from servility to civic factions and interests, or from yet baser motives, have so perseveringly thwarted both the enactment and execution of sanitary laws. They have, practically, been fellow-conspirators with the Clergy above de scribed for the promotion of the cholera. They have no right to pretend to thank God that it is gone. Smithfield-market is not gone. The slaughter-houses (138 of them are registered within the city walls, in 58 of which the slaughtering occurs in vaults and cellars), these are nut gone. The tidal sewers that poison the river are not gone. The up-steam ing effluvium from numberless sink-holes in the pub lic thoroughfares is not gone. And will the authorities, who, in their ignorance, their obstinacy, their pride, or their selfishness, neglect or delay to abolish such abominations, dare to go to church, and thank God that cholera is gone, while they offer all these most tempting invitations for its prompt return ? Mr. Simon affirms, backed by the reports of the Registrar-General, that " within the city of London there have died in the last year twice as many per. sons as it seems necessary that there should die." To this extent, death has been helped by the Corpora tion and others having command over the needless circumstances that realised the surplus. Death and they are partners in the replenishment of grave-yards. Corruption is their brother. Crowded vaults, like improved streets, may be inscribed, " Widened by the Corporation of London." When those who, by absurd authority, perverted influence, or culpable neglect, have been parties to this needless multiplica tion of mortality, respond to the voice of thanks giving for a cessation of the consequence of their conduct, it would be a mercy to stop their open mouths with grave dirt, and check the utterance of untruth, offensive alike to God and humanity. A third class of hypocrites will be the last I shall now specify. Owners of houses, unfit for human habitation, yet made profitable by the workings of a necessity which has no law, upon wretchedness who can find no other shelter, may be chiefly amenable to public opinion, but it is the more requisite that they should not escape its reprobation. The proprietor of a fever factory returning thanks for the abatement of cholera is a sight alike unholy and preposterous. I have called them "chiefly amenable to public opinion." To a certain extent thy late enlargement of the powers of the Corporation over untenantable houses has brought them within the scope of authority, and they have fought the battle of plague and pestilence like faithful allies. They have blended the colours of Mammon and misery, and done their damnable duty by disease and health. I quote again Mr. Simon's report. " The intentions of your Court, and the industry of its officers, have been, in a great measure, frustrated by the passive re sistance of landlords. Delays and subterfuges have been had recourse to, by the owners of house pro perty, in order to avoid compliance with the orders of the Commission." If these men must and will join in the thanksgiving, let them have a separate service, congregated in some foul grave-yard, with rotting coffins for their seats, and a chorus of owls bats, rats, and all other loathsome things for their psalmody. After all, the best thanksgiving will be a determi nation that the mischief shall be remedied. Let penitent landlords make their houses properly habit able. Let persons of local influence and authority learn that there is more real dignity in co-operating, though it be with a Government Commission, for preserving health and life—more real dignity in obeying even—than there can be in the pragmatical adoption of an independent course. Let the clergy an nounce from the pulpit, as prefatory to the services of the day, that their claims and fees shall not for one instant longer stand in the way of a wholesome dis. posal of the dead. And if this manifest duty be neglected by the specified classes, let the public take the matter into its own hands, in so determined a spirit as to override all interested opposition. Heaven, it may safely be answered for, will accept that as a more grateful offering than all the prayers of all the parsons, or the spiritual songs of all the Psalmodists. Why should everybody be thankful in the way, and only in the way, prescribed by authority? Many find churches and sermons very dull affairs. At tendance on them is not their natural mode of show ing gladness and gratitude. When anything par ticularly good and welcome happens in their families, they know it comes from Providence, and have an honest sense of thankfulness ; but they do not show it by catching cold and weariness, if nothing worse, at church. Not they, indeed. They make holiday. They take Brighton return tickets for their wives And children, and have sandwiches and a glorious scamper on the sands; or they strike up a dance ; or they go to the British Museum to see Nimrod, if he be yet come ; er to the theatre to see Macready, if he be not yet gone. And why not ? The Hebrews of old praised God by dancing. They tuned their harps and tinkled their umbels, and the Bible records it as not less devout than listening to long Rabbinical homilies. In Greece the drama was devotion. If good, a new play served for a pious thanksgiving. I protest against praising God on Thursday by stopping trains and closing theatres and museums. Rather throw them all open. Let people see sights, and the sea, the greatest sight of all, gratuitously. It should be no dolorous thanksgiving. Indulge the great national heart in showing its gladness, by whatever harmless mode it prefers, whether with or without church-going. One more hint it is a bounden duty to give, how ever vainly. In this fierce cholera battle, the men of the medical profession have done their work gallantly. They have stood in the breach between the dead and the living. They have persevered, under the:most depressing discouragements. They have cheerfully encountered the worst forms of personal peril, and not a few have fallen victims. Their remuneration has been as beggarly as their behaviour was brave. Had destroying life been their occupation, instead of saving it, coronets would have been showered on their heads, the public treasure lavishly poured out at their feet, and their names would have been greeted with legislative thanks and acclamations. And yet no battle-winning implies a tithe of the intelligence which hundreds of that profession have evinced. No army has ever rendered equal service. Have we no public honours but for wholesale homicide ?—no substantial recompence but for fire and slaughter ? Around the sanitary hero, even when he falls, there is none of th• false glitter of military glory. The medical is not an aristocratical profession. Men who have fairly,and strenuously earned the nation's gratitude will sink back unnoticed and unrewarded into the common ranks. The folly and knavery of aristocratical Go vernment, and of servile opinion, will laugh at the idea of making Dukes of doctors rather than of de stroyers. PUBLICOLA. MARY LEBON E VESTRY. Mr. Malalieu in the chair. THE SUPPLY or WATER. _ _ Mr. JACOB BELL drew the attention of the vestry to the tainted, unhealthy water with which the parish was supplied. The impurity of the water was in a great degree attributable to the flushing of the sewers, which contaminated the water, and rendered it both dangerous and offensive. He moved that a commu nication be made to the present Commissioners of Sewers upon the subject of the wells of the parish, which were poisoned by the sewers. Mr. 1-lAikcs seconded the motion, and hoped that the vestry would adopt energetic measures to effect their object. The pump in North Audley•street, to which the poor resorted, was similarly poisoned. Mr. NIcoLAr said that private as well as public property had been injured by the Commissioners of Sewers. Some months since the sewerage in Oxford street was lowered—hence the springs above were destroyed, and the people had to use the bad water under the sewer, and into which the sewers dis charged themselves. lie wished to know if the vestry had a legal remedy against the Com missioners ? The resolution, and an address to the Commis sioners of Sewers upon the foetid and unhealthy water with which the parish was supplied, were unanimously adopted. TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. My Lord,—ln 1846 Parliament granted 30,0001. to enable the Admiralty to retire old and efficient captains, and bring forward active admirals; in 1849 the Admiralty have appointed a captain Superinten dent of Plymouth Dockyard, thereby declaring all the rear-admirals except those employed unfit for the appointment. Had this been done before the people might have kept their 30,0001. in their pockets. Last year it was proposed to reduce the admirals to 100, and it was justly opposed on the plea that the money voted would be the means of renovating the admirals ; but that argument now falls to the ground, and as the Admiralty have declared the rear admirals incompetent, the sooner they are reduced the better. I remain your Lordship's obedient servant, CHARLES NAPIER. Merchistoun-house, Nov. 9. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, SATURDAY.

It will be remembered that on Wednesday last a most desperate and murderous attack was made, about four o'clock in the afternoon, upon Thomas Hall, one of the warders in the Penitentiary at !bank, by John Francis, one of the convict prisoners, inmate of that prison, from the effects of which the injured man died on Thursday last. An inquest was held on the body on Saturday, by Mr. Bedford, the coroner for iVestminster, and from the evidence it appeared that, at the hour above stated, Francis requested the warder Hall to let him out of his cell for a necessary purpose, with which request Hall immediately complied, and waited for him to return in order to lock him up again. As Francis was returning to his cell, with his cell utensil in his hand, which he had been to empty, he struck Hall with it and felled him to the ground, and followed up his attack with a succession of desperate blows upon his head with the same utensil. The attack was witnessed by some of the other prisoners from the gratings of their cells, but as they were all locked up except Francis, they were unable to assist the unfortunate warder. Their cries from the windows, however, eventually attracted the attention of some of the officers, and brought other warders to Hall's assistance, by whom the prisoner Francis was secured and placed in the refractory cell for security. Hall was then found lying on the floor in his own room in a state of insensibility ; both eyes were completely blackened, and the skull was smashed in, and the brains protrud ing. lie died the following night about twelve. When the prisoner was taken into custody a pair of scissors were found upon him, from which the screw had been taken away, and the points had been sharpened. William Crawley, a convict confined in an adjoining cell to the prisoner, gave evidence at the inquest, and stated that he had heard the prisoner call for the deceased, who, upon coming to his cell, told him he ought not to have called, as this was contrary to the rules of the prison, but he should have exhibited his signal. He did not say this in an angry tone. After this Francis was let out from his cell by the deceased for the purpose of emptying his cell utensil in the opposite closet. He returned in about a minute and a half with the lid of the utensil in his right hand, and the other part in his left. He then went up to the deceased and imme diately struck him on the head with the cover of the utensil. The deceased screamed out, and endeavoured to crawl to his own room. Witness cried repeatedly to the prisoner to desist from his murderous attack ; but, instead of listening to him, he followed the de ceased and struck him again several violent blows. Witness had not heard the prisoner express any ill feeling previously towards the deceased. Mr. Rendle, the surgeon, who was called in to attend the de ceased, deposed to the extensive nature of the wounds on the head, which he said were quite sufficient to produce death. At the conclusion of the evidence the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against John Francis. BANK OF FRANCE.

EFFECTS OF TILE ELECTRIC FLUID.-A corres pondent of the Liverpool Mercury states as follows : "On Monday last I was v. alking down North View, with a friend, whose arm leaned upon mine, and I held in my hand, to protect us from the rain, an umbrella, the ribs and rod of which were of metal; suddenly I felt a shock, like that of electricity, and became enveloped with a blue flame. I stood bewildered for one or two seconds, and immediately heard a loud thunderclap. The lightning, attracted no doubt by the steel in my umbrella, had struck me and given me the shock I felt. My friend ielt nothing, but merely saw the flame. When I went home, on taking out my watch I tound it had changed to the colour of copper, and it remains so still." FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES. —On Satur day the Bank authorities stopped several forged 101. and 51. notes purporting to be of the Bank of England. The 5/. notes are numbered between 23,834 and 24,384 U.D., dated Newcastle-on-Tyne, August 28th, 1547, signed J. Ilawkes; the 101., No. V. K. 64,505, dated London, Oct. 4th, 1848, signed J. Cann. They are remarkably well executed, but may at once be detected by wetting, when, if a forgery, the water-mark will instantly disappear. This test is recommended by the Bank.
