The intelligence from China and Affghanistan, brought by the Overland Mail, is highly satisFac tory, and affords another proof that not the slightest dependence can be placed on telegraphic dispatches from Marseilles to Paris. They gene rally convey all the unfavourable news from the East, and something more, and omit whatever is creditable or favourable to this country. The telegraphic dispatch, for instance, which reached the French capital on Friday, stated that the Emperor of CHINA had refused to sign the treaty till the Queen of ENGLAND had put her sign-nianual to: the deed, and also that only one-half of .the first instal ment had been paid. There are no direct corn.. munications from Sir HENRY POTTINGER on these points, bUt we find the following in a Cey lon journal of the .sth of October:---" The steamer Auckland is just in from Hong-Kong the 27th ultimo. She brings the ratification of the treaty by the Emperor of CHINA. Major IVIALcoLm, Secretary of Legation, is on board, in charge of dispatches to the Home Government. "The intelligence by the Auckland is, that the. EMPEROR'S written assent had been given to the treaty, with a trifling alteration in details. _ . , " The first and second instalments had been paid ; and money appeared to be plentiful, from the ready manner in which the Chinese had come forward with the cash." AS regards the instalment there is no occasion for anxiety, as the force before Nankin is so strong, - and the , Chine - se have been so com yletely humbled, that they have no other resource but to pay the money. The other point, however, is of more consequence, and we are, therefore, glad to state that no doubt whatever remains as to the complete ratification of the treaty. The following announcement of the Governor-General of India sets that question at rest:— Secret Department, Bombay Castle, Oct. 31. In continuation of the 'notification of this Govern ment, dated the 12th instant, the Hon. the Governor in Council is pleased to re-publish for general infor mation the following General Orders by the Right Hon. the Governor-General! of India, dated Simla, the i4th, The Hon. the Governor in Council is further pleased to announce, for general information, that the ratifica tion of the treaty by the Emperor of China was re ceived by her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, and for warded from Nankin to England on the 16th of Sep tember, by the Hon. Company's steam-frigate Auck land. By order of the lion. the Governor in Council, J. P. WILLOUGHBY, Secretary to the Government. We have published, at great length, the dis- patches from India, which will be found of much interest. There is only one drawback on the gra tifying intelligence—the very general diseon tent' with. the conduct of Lord ELLENBOROUGH. Nearly-all the Indian papers condemn his porn pod's and unfeeling proclamation respecting the evie4atiOn of Affgha.nistan. We term it unfeel ingo ,because it contains not the slightest al lusion to a subject which, above all, otherse occupied the minds of Englishmen, and also Englishwomen—the release of the prisoners. An admirer or his Lordship in this country has addreSsed a letter to a Contemporary, and en deavours to e xcuse the omission on the ground that at the ate of the manifesto the return of the prisoners to Caubul was not known at Simla. This•only.makes the case ten times worse, and fully confirms the worst suspicions respecting the memo able order which General POLLOCK , reftised to obey. It leaves no doubt that the release of the " heroic woman" and the other captives formed the least consideration in his Lordship's mind. The army was positively ordered to retreat; no proviso was made respect ing the victims of AKBAR KILAN; and as far as canbejudged from the public document, they were to be left to their fate. Out of mercy to the Gal lant Governor-General we are willin7 to believe that he hid sent private instructions to Sir GEORGE POLLOCK ; but that could be- no excuse fur omitting all reference to the subject in the proclamation: That is not the only proclamationi. however, which will attract the notice of the British public. Three other proclamations have been published since (indeed his Lordship seems to think. of nothing else), one respecting China, in whi!.l4 he takes care to praise hiniself arid the Gevernniont, 'another conferring, distinctions on the army of the Indus, and a third to the s e veral chaplains in th e upper provinces to offer up prayers of thanksgiving for successe s which his Lordship did all in his power to mar. If Sir ROBERT PEEL do not speedily remove this incapable and pompous functionary, he must be answerable for the consequences, and bear the blame of bringing contempt on the Eng lish name. It is stated in the Montreal Courier of No vember 7, that " Lower Canada does not raise sufficient food for its own consumption.'' Con firming this view, we find the Special Committee of the Legislative Assembly, to which we re ferred on Saturday, stating that "all the grain grown in Canada will not supply the consump tion of British North America, and, if it were all shipped, to England, and the population. of our commercial towns were supplied from the United States, the qsantity of our own so ex ported would be very limited for many years to Come." Acting on the same view, the Act for levying 4 duty on American corn allows foreign., wheat imported by sea into Canada, for the use • of the fisheries,' to come in free of duty. It is perfectly clear, therefore, that England cannot get a grain of corn from Canada, except it be grown in the United States, or except a full equivalent of corn be imported into, and con sinned in Canada ter every quarter of Canadian corn exported to England. The Ministers must mean, therefore, by their proposition to admit corn from Canada duty free to encourage the Importation of corn grown in the United States, but to force the trade through Canada. The 3s. duty, the greater expense of carriage than if it came direct from the United States, will be partly labour thrown away, and partly a tax levied on the consumers of England, for the ex clusive advantage of persons whom Tories. a short time, back were wont to call the Canadian rebels. The Montreal Courier adds, " it is impossible to guard the frontier at all points." The Minis terial scl:etne, therefore, of forcing , a corn trade through Canada will be attended with all the alines that generally accompany smuggling on a large scale. It will undoubtedly admit Atne rican corn, but by a roundabout way, and at a great expense, waste of labour, and increased crime. By what right does any Minister, or any Legislature, for the gratification- of such puerile caprice as to force a trade in a particular direc tion, dare to cause so much mischief? Another important consideration is, that the ports of New York and New Orlean s are open a li.the year:round. _We can obtain bread stuffs , Siam them, if 'necessary, in winter as well as summer. The ports of Canada are closed f or se veral months of the year, and the A:Mei-lean pro- duce, which, by Lord STANLEY'S scheme, is to be brought from ithern, must all come at one pe riod of the year, when it may not be wanted, Would it not be more honourable in the Admi nistration, as well as more beneficial to the com munity, were the Ministers at once to propose to Parliament to allow the corn of the United States to be imported into England, on the pay ment of a small duty, whether at America, Quebec, or New Orleans? Such preposterous and childish playing at the solemn business of law making as this scheme of Lord STANLET's, or of the Tory Ministry, has not latterly fallen under our observation. The intelligence from Madrid is to the 28th ult. A proclamation had been issued by the Provincial Deputation of Madrid to the inhabi tants of the capital, expressing its confidence in their zeal and devotion to the established Go vernment. The capital was quite tranquil. The Three per Cents. were done on the Madrid Bourse of the 26th ult. at 211 at 60 days, the Five per Cents. at 26 1-16th cash, and at 27 261 9-16ths at 60 days. The Paris papers contain no news from France, but the accounts in them from Barcelona are sa tisfactory, as will be seen from the following te legraphic dispatch addressed to the French Go vernment :--- "BARCELONA, Nov. 30, IN THE EVENlNG.—barce lona is about to capitulate to the Regent. The . Junta has ordered the free corps to lay down their arms at the Atarazanas." 'The Qztotidienne states from Prague that the Duke de BORDEAUX ,is in excellent health, and is frequently on horseback, either in the riding school, or taking excursions in the environs of the city. This journal adds that the PRINCE has been visited by. General LATOUR FoissAc, who attended him on his tour in Hungary and Tran sylvania, and also by M. GAYARD, the sculptor of Paris. The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 29 th ult. publishes a letter from Cannes, stating that Lord BROUGHAM had arrived at his chateau in that neighbourhood, where he proposed to remain during the winter.

THE JACK O'LANTERN (LE FEU-FOLLET) ; OR, THE PRIVATEER. BY J. FENJMORE COOPER, ESQ.. —The sea novels of this accomplished: writer have ever been favourites with the public, and this latest addition to the stock will add, we think, to his wellr earned reputation. The scene of the exploits of Le Feu-Follet is the Mediterranean sea, the time 1798 and -1799, stirring and teeming years of great events. Raoul Yvard, the gallant commander of the trim and meteor-like Jack o'Lantern, is the hero of the tale; while the heroine is the lovely and pious Ghita Carac cioli. Yvard's mind is inextricably entangled with the infidel principles which then shed their cold and lurid influence over the French Republic, 'whose flag he served with intrepid daring. The gentle Ghita, again, a humble but firm believer in the doctrines of the Catholic Church, while she loves Yvard with all a woman's devotion, refuses , to unite her fortunes with hi.; while he continued to disown the God she wor shipped. The efforts of Yvard, not to overcome her faith, which he respects in her, but to obtain her hand, lead him to seek her in places beset by English cruisers, and he ultimately becomes a prisoner, by entering the British frigate Proserpine, in the gu i se o f a Capr i b oatman, w h ere h e i s tr i ed and condemned to death as a spy, but, is reprieved by ' , Nelson, and escapes, though to fall in- a gallant de fence against his pursuers. These events furnish the, grand and stirring theme of the tale, and the pen of the author of " 'fhe Pilot" depicts in such glowing, and vivid terms the chase and the battle, the boarding and the burning, and all the peculiarities of naval strife, that even landSmen like ourselves kindle with' the dauntless enthusias m of the gallant tars. But we need not attempt to give an outline of a story which all will read for themselves.; and for the same reason we regret the less that we cannot transfer to our columns some passages we had marked, in which our gallant Nelson occupies a prominent part.-;--Caledo nian Mercury. THE SUN, 140.NDMV - MOND A Y . tV EKING, DECEMBER 5, 1842. placed in a similar situation with Mr. Howard, for there was no knowing to what extent a tyrannical House of Coremons' might push the doctrine of privi lege. He called upon the Jury to vindicate the majesty of. the law by, giving Mr. Howard ample damages. The Learned Gentlemen then called the following witnesses:— . Mr. 1: J. G. Pearce examined by Mr. KELLi—In the year 1840 I was a clerk in the employ of plaintiff. Plaintiff was an attorney. I knew he had been the attorney in several actions which had been brought againsfMr. Hansard. Plaintiff, in February, 1840, lived at 7, Norfolk-street, Strand. His familyconsisted of his wife, son, and 'daughter. I was at his house, on the evening of the 4th of February, .1840. At abonf.a quarter before seven some one came to door as I .was going out with Mr. Howard, jun. The defendants .Btein and Bellamy came to the door. They said they had a warrant from the Speaker of the House of • Commons to search the house for Mr. HoWard. I asked to see their warrant, and upon their showing me the, warrant I went up. to inform Mrs. Howard that two of the officers of the'House of Com mons were come to search for Mr. Howard. The officers were allowed to go Over the houseimmediately. Plaintiff Was not at home at .that time. I accom paniedune of the officers with a light. It was Bel lamy. We went up stairs to the top of the house. He went into the various rooms. They went into every room of the- house. There were cupboards in some of the rooms: They opened the cupboard-doors. They went into the cellars also. Among other places Bellamy went into the drawing-room. There were five ladies there. Mrs. Howard, and her daughter, and three' visitors. Mrs. Howard had been ill some months before that. Bellamy apologized for coming . in. He said it was his duty to search. Mrs. Howard said Mr. HoWard was not in the house. Bellamy looked under the sofa, and into the chiffonier. The chiffonier is a large one with folding-doors. We were a very short time in the drawing-room. When he had completed the search he came down stairs into the passage. I took him down into the kitchens and cel lars. He then went into the small yard. Bellamy said he was satisfied Mr. Howard was not there. I showed Bellainy into Mr. Howard's private office, and he afterwards came into the front office. He said to Mr. 'Toward, jun., he was satisfied that his father was not in the horse, but that they had orders to remain until his return. Young Mr. Howard said that if they re mained, his father not being there, they would be com mitting a trespass. They said they had orders to re main until he did come home, if it was for some days. Lord DENMAN—Did they say days ? Witness—They had orders to remain until Mr. Howard didcome. Something was said about days or a week, but Ido not recollect. They were in the front office. I left about eight. More of the other defendants had then come in. I was away about th t ree hours and a half. Mrs. HoWard had requested me to come back. I did not perceive that she was particularly alarmed. She desired me to come back to sit up with the officers, as it was likely they would stay all night. On my return, I saw defendants Stein and Mitchell. went into the office, and remained with them about half an hour. Mr. Bellamy came back again in the course of the night. Ido not re collect who came back with him, but there was a fourth came in with him. Young Mr. Howard came in, accompanied by the son of Mr. Curwood, the bar rister. Mr. Howard, jun., stated he had consulted Mr. Curwood,,,who said theyhad no right to be there, and he could turn them out if he liked. They did not go away. Some b ody came in a cab at about twenty minutes past-one: The person said he wanted to speak 'to Mr: •Bellamy, and Bellamy went out. Bellamy returned, and said they had orders to with draw, and they did withdraw at twenty minutes past one. They had had something to eat and drink during • • • the eve,niog.). . . Cross-exaMined by the ''ATTOWNEY-GENtRALI had been clerk to Mr. Howard about two Years. I had been in" the army. did not know where Mr. Howard was at that time. There had, been inquiries made after him before. 'He was keeping out of the way, no doubt. He had not been in the ,house for a long , time before. I condUcted 'Stein and Bellamy into every room in the house. There was no breaking of any , doors or locks. Everything was done on both sides in a very civil manner. Mr. Howard, jun., entertained them to supper. They did not insist on having that. I studiously took them into every room in the house. Bellamy saw the door leading to the leads, and asked 'to go there. I-took him to places which he had not suggested. 'pointed out every place where a person could be concealed, well knowing Mr. Howard in none of them. From the beginning to the end there was nothing like incivility, or ill feeling' on' either side. There were four or five actions brought by Mr. StOckdale against Mr. Han sard• WKtOckdale was a printer and publisher. There Was 1001. damages in the second action.

He searched the' room. Mrs. 'Howard told him that Mr. HoWard was not in the house. She did not say anything about searching the house. Mrs. Howard appeared to be very' much agitated. I remained there all night: By the COURT--Mrs: Howard went to bed. I slept in the house. Mr. Howard, jun.--I am . plaintiff's son. In 1840 I was his clerk. .I was in his house on the evening of the 4th of February. I remember Stein and Bellamy coming to the door. Bellamy had a chain round his neck: Pearse and I were going out, and they came in. He asked me if my , father was at home ? I told him no, and then they searched the house. While Bellamy was up stairs Stein remained in the office with me. I told him he - ought to be ashamed of himself, that my mother was very ill, and it would make her worse.. When Bellamy came down I said, "Well, have you found' him ?" - 1-le said "No." I said, "Well then, you can go," and he re plied, "Oh, no; we must remain here until he returns, if it is ever so long." I had a letter from my father .about seven o'clock. It was known persons had been imprisoned by the House of Commons on these matters. He .he.d some business he was obliged personally to attend to. I communicated the contents of the letter to the defendant. It was as follows: "My dear Son—l have nearly completed the busi ness I had to do. I shall return to-morrow (Thurs day) morning, and shall attend the House, as I per ceive from the papers that I am wanted. If any one should come from the ,House show them this." They received the letter and returned it. Captain Gossett was seen after in a cab with Mitchell. Cap tain Gossett asked if Bellamy had received the war rant ; he said he had not. Captain Gossett said "you had better read it, and then you will be authorised." Bellamy did read it, and that was the first time I had seen the warrant. By Bellamy's desire I showed Captain Gossett the letter. He read it, and said to the defendants, Stein and Mitchell, " Oh, you must remain ;" and he returned me the letter. He went away, taking Bellamy with him. I went to Mr. Curwood's, and returned with his son, at about half-past 11. I found Mitchell and Stein in possession. Pearce had at that time returned. I told them that Mr. Curwood said that they were com mitting a trespass, and that we might kick them out if we chose ; and said that if we had sufficient force, we would do so. I went to, seek assistance from the police to get them out, but they would not interfere. I returned, and said, _" It a ppears you will remain, and although you are comm itting a trespass, we must treat you like gentl emen ."

In the latter there are no fewer than 14,164 indigent persons, among whom are 839 blind or otherwise infirm.

The Belgian Chamber of Representatives has ter minated the discussion on the Bill for sanctioning the treaty concluded with Spain. It was adopted unani mously, with the exception of a single vote. A Madrid letter of the 24th ult. states that all the Spanish vessels of war at Cadiz have been ordered to proceed to Barcelona. General Baldasano has left Madrid to take the command. The population of Rome in 1841, says a journal of that city, amounted to 158,868. In 1832 there were only 136,269 inhabitants. It appears from a statistical account of the popula tion of the Island of Cuba, in the Madrid Gazette, that •there are 418,291 whites, 88,054 mulattos, 10,974 mulatto slaves, 64,784 free blac!Ks, and 425,521 black slaves • making a total of 1,007,624. The Academy of Inscriptions has elected, in the place of the • late Count Alexandre de Laborde, his son, M. Leon de Laborde, author of several works on the East, and of a commentary on the Bible, by a majority of 32 to 27. The Agram Gazette states that great complaints have been made to the new sovereign of Servia of the number of foreigners, particularly Austrians, to whom places of trust have been confided. Hereafter, in proportion as the country becomes settled, and natives of talent can be found to perform the duties of the executive, they will always have a preference over foreigners. A letter from Constantinople, Nov. 9, in the Con stilutionnel, says :—"At the very moment that the Syrian affair was considered at an end, everything is again deranged. The report that the Maromtes, Druses, "and Mutualis, had made common cause against, the Turkish authorities, is confirmed, but the Government keeps the details a secret. The letters from Perpignan speak of nothing but the great numbers of emigrants from Catalonia, who seek refuge in France. The Quotidienne states from Prague that the Duke de Bordeaux is in excellent health, and is frequently on horseback, either in the Riding School, or taking excursions in' the environs of the city. The Prince has been visited by M. Gayard, the sculptor of Paris,, who presented to him a finished sketch of the monu ment ordered by him to be erected to the memory of his late tutor, the Bishop of Hermopolis. M. Gayard also obtained permission of his Royal Highness to execute his bust in marble. The band of Terrados, being repulsed and pursued by the inhabitants of the arrondissement of Fequiras, is dissolved, and its Chief has taken refuge in the frontier. The National Guard of Gerona has offered to go in . pursuit of the insurgents, and tranquillity prevails. in all the other cities of Catalonia and the, kingdom. . MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. Numerous factories have sprung up within the last few years throughout .the north-eastern districts of Ireland for the preparation of flaxen thread, and the cultivation of the raw material has been greatly extended. NAVAL AND DZIX.XTALNY. No publication appears to have taken place up to the present time, of the late General Elphinstone's dispatches relative to the disasters which befel our ill fated army there under his command. Twelve months have transpired since that insurrection broke out, and the relatives of the officers who fell there have not seen any authentic account of the casualties. _ _ COVRT--PABITIOXIABLE. His Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar arrived at Marlborough-House, Pall•mall, on Saturday, from the Continent; and left town yes terday ,"morning to join his regiment, the Grenadier Guards, at Winchester. The Marquis of Anglesey returned to his seat in Staffordshire, from Alalvern Wells, on Friday last. The Earl and Countess Brownlow arrived at Tor quay, in Devonshire, on Saturday, from Belton-houSe, Lincolnshire. A gr‘and lawn-meeting was to take place at Bad minton House to-day (Monday). Upwards of 1,500 horsemen were expected to assemble, and the Duke and Duchess of BeautOrt were to grace the field. Lord Fitzgerald returned to town on Saturday evening. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Augusta, on leaving the Duke of Beaufort's, at Badminton, are expected to proceed to Strathfieldsaye, on a visit to the Duke of Wellington. Prince George remains in town. :VEISCEZZANEOUS. A grand dress ball, on a magnificent scale, is about to be given in the Town-hall, at Birmingham, in cele bration of the triumphs of British valour in the East. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The Lord-Chancellor sat in Lincoln's-inn Hall to day at eleven o'clock. OLIVER V. LATHAM. This part-heard tithe cause occupied the Court the whole day. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND). HERINGWAY v. FERNANDEZ.—JUDGMENT. His HONOUR gave judgment to-day in this case, in which the bill was filed for the purpose of enforcing a specific performance. His Honour, after shortly going over the facts of the case, stated his opinion to be ,that the defendants were bound by the agree ment, and they must therefore be decreed specifically to perform it. The Court then proceeded with the hearing of causes and demurrers. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DENMAN and a Middlesex Special Jury.) HOWARD V. GOSSETT AND OTHERS. This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff, who had acted as the legal adviser of the well-known Mr. John Joseph Stockdale, in his va rious actions against Messrs. Hansard, printers of the House of Commons, and who, in consequence of the part he had taken on that occasion, had been impri soned by the House of Commons, against Captain Gossett,. the 'defendant, Sergeant-at-Arms, and his officers,. for their conduct in searching his house, under the Speaker's warrant. Mr. Platt, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Crumpton, and Mr. Pe tersdorff appeared for the plaintiff; and the Attorney- General, the Solicitor-General, and Mr. Pollock for the defendants. Mr. X'ETERSDORPF having opened the pleadings, Mr: PLATT addressed the Jury for the pliantiff, and went through the whole history of the case of course of Stockdale, and the House of Commons, with whi c h the public whichis healcroema already y ented up acquainted, on the duringassuip t i n the on of the House of Commons to commit , in cases of pri vilege, which he said might be used by a rabid House of Commons, even for the purposes of personal torture. The Learned Gentleman having detailed the cir cumstances attending on the arrest of the Sheriffs, consequent upon their refusal to comply w ith the orders of the House, p rocee d ed to s tate that the House of Commons had directed Mr. Howard to be arrested, whereupon the defendant had gone to his residence, had searched it—had ran sacked every part of it—had annoyed his family, al though they knew he was not there ; had kept pos session of it for four hours. On the 4th of February Mr. Howard appeared, as he had promised to do, at the bar of the House of Commons, and was committed to Newgate, where he languished from the 6th of February to the 14th of May. The House of Com mons having become alarmed, finding, the law too strong for them, passed an ex post facto law for their own protection. The Learned Gentleman was pro ceeding to comment on the Act in question, when he was interrupted by The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who appealed :to the Court ai to whether the Learned Counsel had any right to allude to an Act of the Legislature which had nothing to do with the present action. Lord DENMAN said the present action had been brought against defendant for having ,exceeded the power of the warrant. He wished to_know from Mr. Platt how he connected that Act with the present cause. _ _ . Mr. PLATT said he had a right to allude to it in order to show what the state of the law had been at the time the offence had been committed. Learned Counsel was then proceeding to comment on what had_ taken place before the House of Lords on the occasion of the passing of the Bill in question, when _ _ Lord PENMAN interrupted him. He had certainly no right to allude in his opening speech to that which it was impossible for him. to give in evidence. Mr. PLATT would bow at once to his Lordship's decision. - He appealed to the Jury to do justice to a British .sub";ect whose dwelling-house had been in vaded: They were called upon to 'decide a great constitutional question. They themselves might be tion, his Lordship having largely patronised the " kite flying" system. A great many creditors en tered opposition, but upon the Registrar calling out the name of Lord George Loftus, and inquiring if any of them appeared in opposition, no answer was returned. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said, upon looking over the insolvent's schedule he perceived a great number of the persons who had lodged detainers against him had been paid their demands. Lord George Loftus replied that such was the case. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS—Are you a married or single man? Lord George Loftus —I am single. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS,—Have you any pro perty in your possession now ? Lord George Loftus —None, except the few articles of clothing which are at the prison, and which I believe are termed the excepted articles. There were several boxes, an d a quan tity of jewellery left by him at the Hotel de l'Europe, at Brussels, in 1840, when he went last on the Conti nent, and/the hotel-keeper had charge of them for a time. He was not indebted to the person, who had since removed to the Hague, and he (Lord G. Loftus) had been unable to trace him since ; consequently the property could not be made available to his creditors. He had been now eleven months in prison. Mr. COOKE, who appeared on behalf of the insolvent, said there was an immense number of creditors upon bills of exchange, for which no value had been given, and the Marquis of Ely, a short time ago, paid 13,200/. to those who might have been considered as bona fide creditors of his son. His Lordship, after some further discussion, was declared entitled to be discharged as an insolvent debtor, after he had amended his schedule by dis closing the nature of the property which he stated to have been taken to the Hague, the Court at the same time declaring that its appropriation at present was out of their jurisdiction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John Bryant, Stephen Wright, Thomas Hunt, John Crutchley, Charles Phillips, Eliza Pritchard, Henry Howard, Thos. Shell, Wm. Brown, Wm. Fawcett, Joseph Ewart, and Barney Welsh, twelve miserable-looking ragged urchins, were placed at the bar, charged with bleeping under the arches at the Adelphi. The policeman who took the prisoners into custody fully proved the charge., The prisoners, in their defence, said some of them that they had bad-hearted fathers, who constantly "whipped" them ; .others, that they had fathers-in law, who did the same ; and some that they had no fathers at all. . The majority of the prisoners have been at this office before. Their sleeping in the manner charged was not from destitution, but acquired bad habits. They were sentenced to various terms of imprison ment, varying from eight to fourteen days Beach. MARK-ET NEWS. (THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. Since our report on this day se'nnight, we have re ceived a very moderate time-of-year supply of Eng lish Wheat, coastwise as well as by land carriage, and samples, and we had scarcely any put up to-day, from either Essex or Kent. The stands being very poorly supplied, and the attendance of both town and country buyers rather more ,numerous ithan of late, we have to report a somewhat improved inquiry for all descriptions, and the sales concluded were fully equal to those noted on Monday last, while a fair clearance was effected. There was rather more inquiry for fine Foreign Wheat at full rates of currency ; but in bonded parcels scarcely anything was doing. The duty still remains at 20s. per quarter. We had another heavy market for Barley, and the quotations receded is per quarter from last week. Foreign Barley was little sought after. Good Ware Malt was taken by the dealers at last currencies; but the middling and, inferiori kinds were mending, and might have been purchased on easier terms. From Ireland, about 25,000 quarters of Oats have come to hand ; but the arrivals of that article - from Scotland and our own coasts have been small. The best Potatoe kinds maintained their value, but other kinds were 6d per quarter lower. Beans and Peas were very dull, and mostly is per q uar t er cheaper. The Flour trade was inactive, at about sta tionary prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

We have had a very heavy inquiry for each kind of llops during the past week, yet we cannot call the prices lower. For shipment to France a few bags of old hops have found purchasers at very low rates. The supply of new Hops on offer is large, which move off at the following rates :—East Kent, in pockets, 5l lOs to 6s ; Mid Kents, ditto, 51 5s to 6/ ; Sussex, 4/ lOs to 51 8s ; Farnhams, 8/ to 10/ ; Old Hops, 3/ to 4/ 10s. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. From Scotland, Yorkshire, and the west of Eng land, very large supplies of , slaughtered meat have come to hand since this day se'nnight, for the most part owing to the mildness of the weather, in very middling and inferior conditions ; and, in order to effect clearances, the salesmen have, in many instances, been compelled to accept of nominally low rates, in volving, in several cases, a severe loss to the owners. The quantity of London killed meat, on offer, has proved large, yet the finest qualities have ruled tolerably steady, at about stationary prices, but, otherwise, the trade has proved dull, and the curren cies have had a downward tendency. :ARRIVALS DURING THE PAST WEEK.

On the near approach of the great Christmas market, which will be held here on Monday next, the 12th inst., a very decided improvement is almost invariably apparent in the general quality of the stock exhibited for sale, especially as relates to the beasts ; but we have to intimate that, notwithstanding there were some few very superior Devons; runts, Scots, Herefords, and old Sussex, including a few other breeds, on offer, extremely well made up, the supply this morning was, the time of year considered, beneath an average, yet, that expected for next week, will, doubtless, be very prime. As to the foreign supplies, nothing fresh was exhibited, there being only a few Spanish and Hamburgh beasts brought forward the refuse of last week's supply; they commanded very little attention, and even with difficulty disposed of at miserably low prices. The imports in London and the outports since our last, as will be seen by the annexed returns, have been small. From our grazing districts our bullock receipts to day were as follow :-2,360 short horns, runts, and Irish beasts, from Lincolnshire, Leicestershare, North amptonshire, &c. ' • 100 Scots, &c., froth Norfolk, Suf folk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire ; 400 Herefords, Devons, runts, and Irish beasts, from our Western and, Midland Counties ; 200 of different kinds from other parts of England; 30 horned and polled Scots, but chiefly the latter, by a steamer from Aberdeen ; and 90 beasts from Dublin, via railway. Although our number of Beasts was much about the sane as were those exhibited on this day se'nnight, we have again to report a very slugyish inquiry for them. however, as the finest qualities. were again scarce, the prices of that -- they ruling from 4s to de scription were maintained 4s ..4d per 81bs ; bat - to effect clearances of other :oils a decline of about 2d per 81bs vas submit' ed to by the salesmen. The supply of she , p has be n considerably on the increase, which has a very depressing influence upon the mutton trade, aid in most instances the quotations rated 2d per Blbs lower than last week, and several lots left the market unsold. The inquiry for Veal was dull at drooping currences, say of 2d per 81bs. Pr.rne small Por.iet s were quite as dear, but large Ross m;ght have been purchased on easier terms.

The IVool sales, so far as they have proceeded, have proved satisfactory to the importers, the prices realised having exceeded those of the preceding auctions by about per lb. The imports in the week have been small, they having consisted of about 400 bales, chiefly from the East Indies. Our private contract demand, for the best British Wools, is somewhat more ani mated; but in foreign lambs exceedingly little is doing. POTATO MARKET. We have to report a moderate arrival of potatos, from all quarters, since our last ; yet as the supply on hand is large for the season, the demand has again rated dull, at but little variation in prices. A few tons have come to hand from Ireland, but they have pro duced low figures. Our present rates are as follow — York reds, 55s to 60s per ton ; Scotch ditto, 45s to 50s ; Devons, 45s to 50s ; Kent, Essex, and Suffolk whites, 40s to 45s ; Wisbeach, 38s to 45s ; Jersey whites, 30s to 35s ' • Jersey and Guernsey blues, 40s to 455; Yorkshi re Prince Regents, 45s to 50s. TALLOW Since our last the market hascontinued firm, and the price rather on the advance ; the delivery is also better. The last advices from St. Petersburgh state that there were several vessels driven back, and that about 1,500 casks would certainly be detained by the frost, and about 13,000 casks remain over. The total shipments this season about 111,000 casks. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. A large business was done in the Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday, at steady prices, 10,000 bales having been sold. Of this quantity 2,000 were Ame rican, and 1,000 Surat, on speculation ; 700 Maran ham realised sd. to 6d. ; 200 Egyptian, 61-d. to hid. ; 1,500 Surat,'3ld. to zlid. ; and the rest Ame rican at 41d. to 51d. The heavy Railway Shares met a good sale, but light stock ws - dull. Great Western Pifths were 9 ; Liverpool and Manchester, 91 ; Birmingham, 187 ; MancleStei and Leeds Half, 30 ; Paris and Rouen, 241 and Sinith Eastern New, 17,i. A WeSt Indian, mail brings advices to the 3d ult. from Jamaica, the 2d from Demerara, the 2d from Barbadoes,and the 28th October from Trinidad, with corresponding accounts from the other islands. The most satisfactory circumstance in these accounts seems to be . the: apparent improvement in the prospects of British Guiana: The sugar making was in- progress, and the . crop was expected to be at least equal to that of last year, while a plantation had been purchased for 81,000 dollars, which, although not a high price, waa still better than could have been realised, for in fact only a few Months back property of all descrip tions was absolutely unsaleable. A business stand in Water-street had also been sold for 10,000 dollars, and, altogether there was an improvement. The la bourers, were getting possession of a good deal of land. At Baxbadoes, the weather had been dry again, and rain was anxiously expected, as a dry November would;' after all, prove very fatal to agriculture. Pro visions were in more abundant supply from America. A feW cases of fever had occurred at Bridgetown. The Trinidad cocoa planters had received an answer from Lord Stanley, which led them to infer that their application for a different method of taking the Go vernment Navy contracts would be favourably en tertained. In St. Lucia, agriculture suffered by the drought. Business on the Amsterdam Bourse on Friday was at steady rates ; the Dutch funds, the Two-and-a- Half per Cents., being 52k to 52 9-16ths ; Spanish were 18.. The China and India news engross almost exclusive attention in the city. The Stock Market wears a very firm appearance, the China news having served to strengthen the previous tendency to advance, and for the few stocks now open to public transfer full rates are obtained, although the preference is given to Three per Cent. over Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities. As money is becoming dearer, a conversion is less pro bable. For special transfer Con3ols are marked-95, the dividend included, and for Time 94 to Ex chequer Bills are worth 50s. to 535. premium. India Bonds have not been dealt in. Reduced Three-and a-Half per Cents. are worth 1001 to 101, and Long Annuities 12 9-16 to 12g. New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were 101 i, with the dividend, for money. The West India mail brings 32,000 dollars for the Mexican dividends. In Reduced Three per Cents. 5,300/. was invested for the Savings' Banks, at 944. The submission of Barcelona has made Spanish Stock rather firmer, the Actives being now marked 181, and the Three per Cents. 231. The refusal of Messrs. Lizardi to give the numbers of the Mexican bonds issued, although a flagrant violation of the solemn engagement with the foreign creditors, has con fessedly been perpretated by the Government, and ex cites much disapprobation, and annoyance. The Stock is at 30i; Brazil Bonds are worth 664 ; Portuguese Converted Five per Cents. have been marked 31i Danish, 83} ; and Dutch New Five per Cents., 991 to 99k. The Railway Shares are generally steady, but not much business is doing in them. Eastern Counties are 141; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 1:1; Brighton, l‘g ; and Northern and Eastern, 9i discount ; Great Western, 231 ; ditto New, 13-1 ; Eastern Counties, New, 21; South Western, 191; Paris and Rouen, 4i; and York and North Midland 431 premium.

INCENDIARY FIRE AT SEVENHAMPTON, NEAR HIGHWORTH• WELLS.—One of those diabolical acts which disgrace the poorer Englishmen, has been com mitted on the farm in the occupation of Alr.-Chilling worth at Sevenhampton. A fattening stall, contain ing seven fat cows for the Christmas market, was dis covered to be fired on Saturday night, about seven o'clock; and, in consequence of a quantity of straw and haulm being in and near the stall, five of the beasts were burnt alive, and the other two so much injured, that they were obliged to be killed. In addi tion to which, a large hay rick was destroyed. From circumstances that have transpired, there is a hope of the villain being discovered. The crime is aggra vated by the fact of Mr. Chillingworth being a good master, and a kind humane man. We are happy to state he is insured. .
