OF %IA NIA MANNING AT • ' PuLlt'lL COURT. Mk.x,y id, !lee (..on.inued fri.m our Aiternotn Edition of yesterday.) She gave a general denial to the charge. She was wear ing a gold wet( h, chain, and seal before the search took place, k nd these or similar articles were produced to me by the senrcher.F. (These articles were produced, as well as two brooches, some postage stamps, a thimble, and other things, which were found upon her.) I made an inventory of all the articles found in her possession •, among them were some scrip in the Sambre and Meuse Railway, numbered from 6,460 to 6,469, and also some scrip in the Amiens and Boulogne Railway, numbered from 48,665 to 48,674. These shares were described in a bill which I have re ci.ived. I also found 10 more shares in the Sambre and Meuse, running from 26,523 to 26,532, which were not included in the bill; also what appeared to be a Spanish bond, numbered 3,600. I found also a large silk purse, containing 73 sovereigns. There are besides, a 50/. Bank of England note, n um bered 11,037, and dated 9th Nov., 1848; 11th June, 1849, and numb ere d consecutively 67,372, six 101. notes, five of which were dated 67,373, 67,374, 67,375, and the other is dated 4th Nov., 1848, and numbered 78,378; also another 51. note, dated 13th July, 1839, and numbered 20,057. I also found a counterpart, apparently, of a luggage-ticket, dated London-bridge Terminus, 13th Aug. There is also a ticket dated the 14th, from London to Newcastle, for excess of luggage. (These, and various other articles and papers, were produced by the witness.) She was locked up, as I stated. I saw her in the course of the evening, to see if sho was comfortable; and I ad dressed her as Mrs. Manning, to which she did not object ; and I asked her where her husband was, and if he was in town. She said she knew nothing of him; that she came off from London on Saturday when he was out; that he used her very ill, had maltreated her, and threatened to murder her, and had pursued her with a knife, and that she was very much afraid of him. She then said " I came away on Saturday, wishing to get rid of him." She said she had driven to the London-bridge station, where she had left a part of her luggage, addressed " Mrs. Smith, passenger to Paris ;' that she :had then driven to the Euston square station, and that she bad slept in the neighbourhood of the station all night (she described the place, but I could not exactly understand her descrip tion), and she came off the following Tuesday morning by an early train, and had come on to Newcastle ; that she remained in a house there all night (the locality of which she also attempted to describe); that she was taken to the house by two females who slept in the ad joining room to her. On the next day she spoke in terms of the highest gratitude of O'Connor, saying that he had acted the part of a father to her; that she had last seen him on the Wednesday; that he came to her house in the evening under the influence of liquor; that she expected him to dinner on the Thursday, and that she was surprised at his net coming; that she went to his lodgings to ascertain the cause of his absence, and that he was not at home; that she went again on the following day (Friday), but she did not hear any tidings of him. In reference to the money in her possession, she said " It is my own, my husband wants to get it from me, and that is the cause of our quarrel. O'Connor advised me to invest it in scrip, part of which is that which you have found." She then said, that in consequence of the quarrel O'Connor recommended her to call on a Mr. Stephens, or Mr. Stevens, a stockbroker, that she did call, and the scrip in question was purchased for her by Mr. O'Connor's directions. She was brought before the po lice magistrates iu Edinburgh. When she was told of the charge, she said " I am innocent, and have nothing further to say." On Thursday I left Edinburgh in corn. pany with the prisoner, at half-rest eleven in the forenoon, and art ived in London by the train at half-past four next morning. I may state that I found also a certificate of marriage between Frederick George Manning and Maria Do Roux. She said nothing to me worth remem bering on the journey to London. I saw no marks or stains on any of the articles I found. She ex plained the reason of her leaving the luggage at the London-bridge station, by saying that she was in doubt whether she should go to Edinburgh, or to Paris, and inform her friends of Manning's cruel treatment of her, but that she ultimately decided upon going to Edinburgh. Mr. Edwin, the clerk, then read over the testimony of Mr. Maxey and the three other witnesses, to which they severally attached their signatures ; and they were bound over, in the ordinary way, to prosecute the prisoner at the next session of the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Edwin then intimated to the persons present that the prisoner stood remanded until Thursday next, at twelve o'clock, when the examination of the witnesses would be resumed. This had the effect of clearing the court of a few of the spectators, but they were so closely packed together that an open passage for the prisoner to get through could not be obtained, and the officers were compelled to force their way through the crowd with the prisoner. The van being in readiness she was speedily conveyed beyond the precincts of the court to her destination, Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and the crowd in and about the court soon dispersed. It may be mentioned that he prisoner's attire con sisted of a black silk-dress, a black satin visite, edged with silk lace, a straw bonnet very plainly trimmed with a white, pink, and green-coloured silk ribbon, a black lace veil, and a small white collar. The statements which have already been put forth that she is a flee built woman, has a good figure s and is possessed of a lady-like appearance, are entirely without foundation. On the contrary, she appears to have an almost - masculine figure, and to be possessed of con siderable strength. Her brow is large and heavy, and her face, which is long and broad, and scarcely feminine has, altogether, a coarse and vulgar appearance. There is nothing whatever in her person which would lead a casual observer to think she is a foreigner. Her self-possession was most remarkable when it is taken into consideration that the air in the court was very confined, and also the fact that she was the "ob served of all observers," and that every eye was fixed upon her during the whole of the proceedings. She stood the whole time (from one till half-past three), leaning lightly upon the dock, having refused to take a chair. Scarcely an emotion was visible in her coun tenance from the beginning to the end of the tedious examination ; but a slight tremulous shake of her body, as she stood, was observed by one or two persons. Beyond that, however, nothing could be seen which indicated that she was other than quite com posed. She kept her veil drawn over her face, and did not once lift it up. On being asked if she wanted any water, she shook her head and said " No." FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY.

(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 30.) SUGAL—To-day importers of West India Sugar were again willing sellers, and submitted to rather lower rates, making the decline for the week 6d to is per cwt. The purchases amounted to 770 hhds, &c., including 130 hhds Barbadoes at public sale, which went at 39s 6d to 41s for fine, and at 36s to 39s for low to good yellow. 245 hhds 3 trcs 73 brls St. Lucia ; fine yellow 39s 6d to 41s, low to good 36s 6d to 38s per cwt. REFINED.—To-day the limited business concluded in Refined goods by home dealers was at rather lower rates, and sales of brown lumps were made at 48s to 48. 6d per cwt. The market for bonded crushed Sugar is quiet, but prices are not lower. _ _ MADRITIUS.—This afternoon the public sales of 1,762 bags Mauritius Sugar went off at prices rather in favour of buyers; good and fine yellow sold at 38s to 395, mid dling 37s to 37s 6d, low 36s to 36s 6d, middling to fine brown 33s 6d to 35s 6d, inferior 31s to 32s 6d, and very ordinary 29s to 30a 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the biddings were lan guid at the public sales of 1,973 bags Bengal Sugar, and former rates were not generally supported, but nearly the whole sold; low white went at 38s to 38s Gd, mid dling to good 39s to 41s, fine 41s Gd to 42s 6d, fair and fine soft yellow 35s to 37s 6d, and ordinary 34s to 345 6d per ewt. FOREIGN.—To-day there was not a better demand for Foreign Sugar for export, and home dealers made purchases with caution in all sorts. The demand for refining in bond was also trifling. Of 114 hhds 178 brls St. Croix offered at public sale, a part only sold; good and fine yellow at 41s to 435, and very fine at 43s 6d to 44s per cwt, which are rather lower rates. MOLASSES.—III West India the purchases made have been small of all sorts, and prices are still on the decline; the supply is also greatly larger. The value of low to fine is from 16s to 18s 6d per cwt. Only small pur chases have been made in Bengal Treacle, and a desire is evinced to sell at 15s to los 6d per cwt. Honey can be purchased at rather lower rates. COCOA.—Fine red West India is still in excellent demand, and former rates are well supported. At public sale 210 bags 107 brls Trinidad were in part sold ; fine and superior red at 45s to 50s 6d, inferior and good 39s to 445, and grey 38s 6d to 42s 6d per cwt. 01 Grenada 38 bags were withdrawn. The market for Fo reign has still a quiet aspect ; and at auction 180 bags Bahia were taken in at 29s per cwt for fine red, but grey of ordinary quality is only worth 268 6d to 27s per cwt. COFFEE.—This afternoon the demand for Ceylon Coffee was active, and the public sales of 1,846 bags and 460 casks went at fully former rates; native good ord 38s 6d to 395, plantation good 65s to 74s 6d, middling 58s to 625, other sorts 48s to 575, and inferior 43s to 475. Of Java 242 bags went at 39s to 44s for Singapore. 2,997 bags Rio, good ord 32s 6d to 33s 6d, fine ord 36s to 375; and 621 bags St. Domingo at 37s to 37s 6d per cwt. 1,100 bags East India sold. Sumatra, 395; Pa dang, 32s 6d to 33s 6d; and Batavia, 34s to 355. TEl.—There has been a large business concluded in black this week, and for the lower descriptions rather higher rates have been paid; the better sorts realised fully former terms. Congou of ordinary sound quality is not to be purchased under 9d per lb. Former prices are well kept up for green, and the demand for all sorts is getting larger. On the part of holders there is also firmness. No public sale is at present de clared and the quantity on offer privately is less the former week of both black and g reen. A busi ness has been concluded i n other sorts of Tea at fully faitrhanln former terms. 6PICES.—To•day at public sale 617 bags Sumatra Pepper were only in part sold at 2d to 2id, and at 2kd to 2-ad for damaged. RICE.—To -day full rates were asked for East India Rice, but not much desire was evinced to operate. At auction 4,005 bags and 1,486 pkts were only in part sold at 9s . to lOs for mid and good mid white, whilst a small parcel of broken yellow was taken in at is 6d to 8s per cwt. FRUIT.—The demand for Currants at the late ad vance continues very brisk, particularly for fine decrip dons. The prices now range from 35s to 40s. Valencia Raisins have been selling all the week at 395, but to day they have been sold at 40s. COCIIINEAL.--Of the parcels offered at public sale amounting to 440 bags not above half sold, llonduras silvers at from 3s 8d to 4s 4d, black 3s 7d to 5s Id, Mexican silvers 3s 6d to 3s Bd, and black 3s 7d to 49 per lb. A parcel of Tenerifle was taken in at 3s 10d fir silvery black. SPIRIT s.—The demand for Leeward Island Rum is still limited, and there are sellers at 15 4kd to Is 5d proof. East India can be obtained at is 3d to is 31d, as there is a fair supply at market. Demerara 30 to 40 per cent over proof from 2s to 2s 3d. In the value of Jamaica there are sellers of 20 to 29 per cent over proof at 2s to 2s 6d, 30 to 36 over 2s 7d to 3s, and superior sorts 3s 2d to 4s. Brandy has further advanced in value. We quote Cog nac best brands of the vintage of 1848 at 3s 1 Id to 4s ]d, 1847 do 4s 6d to 49 Bd, 1846 do 5s 8d to 5s 10d, 1845 do 5s lOd to 6s, inferior sorts 2. 6d to 33 10d, and Bor deaux 2s 2d to 2s 3d.

British made Spirits is still in good demand at 9s Bd, and Gin at 8s to 85 6d for 17 to 22 per cent under proof. INDIGO.—The quantity of East India declared for public sale on the 9th of October already amounts to the large quantity of 17,545 chests, and will be further in creased. There has been little disposition on the part of shippers or home dealers to do business this week, and last sale's rates are now obtainable for only stnalhlelotes; an impression exists that prices will declines t t e oOrs tober sale, unless strong support is given by pp t ri t SALTPETRE.—To -day the market for Sa w itp er e e r t e aen pre sented a quiet aspect, and rather lower rate s taken.

THE LIVERPOOL MUSICAL FESTIVAL. LIVERPOOL, FIIIDAY.—This festival was brought toa close this morning, with a concert consistilig of a miscellaneous selection of music of a sacred character. The concert was extremely well attended, the num bers being increased by the addition of many families who had objections to attending the general miscel laneous performances. The programme had announced that this concert would commence with Rossini's Stabat Mater, to be followed by a selection of sacred music from works by Handel, Mehul, Mendelssohn, and Winter. The concert was to conclude with the Lauda Sion of Mendelssohn. Before the performance commenced, however, bills were circulated, reversing the announced order, by placing the Lauda Sion first and the Stabat iTlater at the close. Greatly to the disappointment of the audience, also, it was added that Grisi and Lablache, who had been advertising to sing in the Stabat Mater, would not appear. Of the Lauda Sion we have often had occasion to write. It is a finely-written hymn of praise to the Saviour, in which are introduced two solos, two quartets, and several choruses. It was composed by Mendelssohn for the last grand centenary musical festival at Liege, and was first performed in London, at Exeter Hall, last season, by the pupils of Mr . Hullah, to whom Mendelssohn had confided the manuscript. It was this morning admirably rendered in every respect, more especially by the chorus, to whom all possible praise is due for their services throughout these concerts. The principal singers were Viardot Garcia, Corbari, Jetty Treffz, Bartolini, and Polonini. The miscellaneous selection consisted of Handel's double chorus from Solomon; the duet from Mehul's Joseph, "Du bist die Stiitze" (sung by Jeffy Treffz and Carl Formes); the air from Mendelssohn's St. Paul, "Jerusalem ! Jerusalem" (by Miss A. Williams); the double chorus from Handel's IsraelinEgypt,"He gave them hailstones for rain ;" the recitative and air, also from St. Paul, "But the Lord is mindful" (exquisitely sung by Miss M. Williams) ; the air from Handel's Susannah, "If guiltless blood " (sung by Viardot Garcia) ; Winter's trio, " 0 Jesu! 0 p astor b onus " (by the isses Williams and Mr. Benson); and the solo and chorus from Israel in Egypt, "Sing ye to the Lord," the recitative by Mr. Benson. All these pieces were admirably rendered ; and the satisfaction with which the English artists were received, and especially the frequent encores given to the chorus, sufficiently prove that there is a good prospect of the regular concerts being attended, when there is no longer the strong stimulus of such commanding me tropolitan-talent. The concert concluded with the Stabat Mater, and great was the satisfaction of the audience when they perceived, notwithstanding the previous an nouncement, that both Grisi and Lablache were among the phalanx of talent arrayed in front of the orchestra. They took their original parts, and were supported by Mario, Alboni, Corbari, Tagliafico (who was to have been Lablache's substitute), and Carl Formes. This hymn was admirably given ; Mario singing the " Cujus animam," Formes the " Pro pec• catis,' Alboni the " Fac ut possim," and Grisi the " Inflammatus." Nothing could be more admirable than the precision and verve of the chorus throughout. There were several encores. This evening there is to be a grand fancy dress ball. As no persons will be admitted to the area except in fancy dresses, the effect will no doubt be very fine. In concluding our notice of this festival, we must repeat, in general terms, the praise we have already given as to the whole of the arrangements. It has gone off in the most satisfactory manner; and the committee have been enabled to discharge the whole expense of the concerts, together, we believe, with the cost of decorating the hall, and yet to leave a ba lance in hand towards the general expense of the building. As to the vexed question of prices, that is disposed of by the simple fact that the Philharmonic Society is essen tially a private undertaking. The society opened their doors to the public on this occasion, at certain prices, and if the public did not choose to pay those prices, it was at their option to stay away. Compared with London concert prices, the sum charged to the stalls was not high, when the great array of talent is considered. It was a matter solely and entirely for the committee of the society what they should charge for admittance to the galleries. Had the receipts been less than the expenditure the society would have had to make up the difference. The matter cannot by any process be distorted into a public question as far as Liverpool is concerned. 'Whether in the long run the society will be able to hold together at the present tariff is a question for themselves—one which depends on a number of local circumstances. Should they fail, then their experi ment will have acted as a force-pump on the emula tion of the middle class here, and it may lead to the establishment of a more popular concert-plan, on a broader basis and at a lower tariff. ASCENT OF MR. COXWELL IN HIS BALLOON, SYLPH, FROM BERLIN.—Mr. Coxwell, the enterprising and skilful aeronaut, made his one hundred and seven teenth ascension yesterday evening (Aug. 23), in his balloon Sylph. The preparations for the ascent having been perfectly concluded, and the supply of gas abundant, our intrepid countryman ordered the holding tackle to be cast off at half-past six in the evening, and rose majesti cally and steadily in the air, amidst the applause of an immense mass of spectators. Mr. Coxwell was accom panied by two gentlemen of Berlin, and by an alive anxious to be raised still higher. The party appeared very joyous, but did not forget to keep up their courage by drinking the health of Berlin in champagne as they rose. Mr. Coxwell having arrived at a cer tain distance, let drop a parachute, to which was at tached a basket containing a rabbit, which landed safely near the Berlin and Potsdam Station. The balloon took the direction of that place, and would have arrived there with rapidity, but Mr. Coxwell, in order to give proofs of his skill, let off a portion of gas when half way, descended, landed one of his travelling companions, rose again, and continued his voyage, which he accomplished with per feet ease and security in the immediate vicinity of Pots- dam. The aeronaut added to the satisfaction of the mul titudes by throwing out printed papers, containing some complimentary verses to the city, in which they were truly told that it was the first time that a poet had ever addressed them from the clouds. CoOLERA PRESCRIPTION.—Sir James Clark has addressed the following communication to a contempo rary, dated " Balmoral, Aug. 26:—The subjoined pre scription, purporting to be a cure for cholera, has, I find, been widely circulated in the public journals, as emanating from me. I shall feel greatly obliged b 3 your permitting me to state that the prescription was never written nor sanctioned by me; on the contrary, I consider it absolutely dangerous in the dose, a tablespoonful (nearly equal to five grains of opium!), in which it is recommended •—` Three drachms of spirits of camphor, three drachms laudanum, three drachms of oil of turpentine, thirty drops oil of peppermint. For diarrhoea--A teaspoonful in a glass of brandy and water. For cholera—a tablespoonful in a glass of brandy and water. The above dose is for an adult. Smaller quan tities, according to age, for children'." DISASTROUS AFFAIR. — The Toledo Ohio Blade, of the 31st ultimo, states that on Saturday night last, as the steamers Bunker Hill and Trcy were coming up the lake, the Bunker Hill ahead, and the Troy directly in her wake, about a mile behind, the Acorn, which was going down, passed the Bunker on tho starboard and when within a short distance of the Troy turned to run across so as to pass the Troy on the larboard side, when the Troy struck her about midship. The Acorn sunk immediately with all on board except the crew, who barely had time to get on the Troy. THE RECOVERY OF THE LOST JOURNALS, &C. OF THE HOUSE of LORDS.—In addition to the twelve jour nals of the minutes of the House of Lords saved from the great fire, and so recently and singularly recovered (as described in this journal of Wednesday last), and which, it will be recollected, were found at the shop of Mr. Tarry, cheesemonger, of the Walworth-road, he having purchased the same with other waste paper at a sale of the effects of the late Mr. Croft, one of the librarians of the House of Lords, another manuscript volume which was bought by a gentleman a few days since has been forwarded to the librarians. This is a thick folio, bound in calf, and lettered on the back, " Cases, 11. of Lords," and apparently is a sort of index. It is entirely manu script, and on the title. page is described as "An Abridgement common placed of Cases in the House of Lords upon Appeals, and Writs of Errors, with two tables, one of the title under which they are placed, and the other of the names of the cases, with notice taken whether varied, affirmed, or reversed, and when." It is evidently a production which has cost much time, labour, and careful research. The first case recorded is that of the celebrated John Churchill, first Duke of Marlbo rough, and is entitled, " The Duke of Marlborough v. Strong," dated Bth March, 1721. THE CHOLERA.—WOOLWICH, AUGUST 31,—Two convicts died on board the Unite convict hospital son yesterday, of cholera. One named Samuel and aged 19, was taken on board on the 25th of treated for diarthcea, and his case becamesu 0 he of died of thene cholera, on the 29th, at four o'clock d disease at five P.M. on the following named Joseph Travers,aged 23, was day. The other, s eized with cholera at seven o'clock p.m. on w° 29th o f August, and died at t we nty-five minutes past seven A.N. on the 30th. There have been several cases, but mostly of strangers living lodging-houses, be shut up• one of which has been ordered to at low The others were two watermen and a coal po rter. A dead body was also brought on shore t o -d ay from a billy- boy on the river, and placed in the bone house preparatory to interment. Diarrhoea is said to prevail to a considerable extent within the last few days. FIRE AT SEA.—Captain Meanpoint, of the French brig Mathilde and Camille, which looked in at Malta on the 20th of August, reports to have seen on the 10th idem, at 6.45 P.M., when on a voyage from Mytelene to Marseilles, about 30 miles to the southward and west ward of Supiel za, a vessel on fire (in flames), but after standing down in the direction she was in for upwards of an hour, she suddenly disappeared, and night coming on, he proceeded on his course. Surely the fellow might have dodged about the spot until daylight for the chance of picking up the crew, m ho no doubt will have taken to the boats.

Illustrated with Engravings, including the Modern Housewif e ' s Unique Kitchen and Magic Stove. By Alexis Soyer, Author of " The Gastronomic Regenerator," (Reform Club). The great chief of the Reform Club having, by the publication of his " Gastronomic Regenerator," car ried the science of gastronomy to a degree of perfec tion which had been heretofore undreamed of, and having thus made it a most important adjunct to, if not a rival, of the science of diplomacy (none know better than the French diplomatists the value of a French Chef de Cuisine in bringing an im portant treaty to a satisfactory conclusion), and having in his cheap cookery for the poor shown the needy how they may procure a wholesome, nutritious, and comfortable meal from materials which, until he enlightened them by bringing the science of chemistry to bear on the practice of cookery, they were unable to obtain,—M. Soyer having thus opened for the rich and for the poor the arcana of gustatory science, he has now done the same good work for the middle classes, and in this his " Modern Housewife" has " taught us how to live." He begins with the beginning—breakfast, and having initiated us into the mystery of egg boiling, ham and bacon cooking, fish cooking, bread and butter cutting, toast making (a more difficult operation than the purveyors of that leathern commodity with which, under the name of toast, many a breakfast table is loaded, ima gine), tea-brewing and coffee-making, he proceeds to discuss the subject of luncheons, nursery dinners, cookery for invalids, dinners, from the simplest family dinner up to the most ceremonious solemnity, desserts, and refreshments for evening parties. The receipts are all written in plain and understandable language, and M. Soyer's " Housewife" is indeed and in truth The Cookery Book for the Million. The work concludes with a chapter on "Anti-Cholera Diet," which is especially worthy of study at the present time. We understand that the members of the Board of Health, and several of our most eminent medical men, have expressed their high approval of M. Soyer's suggestions. The " Magic Stove " is a perfect wonder of invention. By its means the breakfast may be cooked upon the breakfast table itself. All who wish to enjoy a cutlet in perfection should cook it themselves by the magic stove. THE BANKRUPT LAW CONSOLIDATION ACT, 1849 (12 and 13 Viet., cap. 106), with In troduction, Explanatory Notes, Forms, and a very copious Index. By Edward Wise Esq., of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law. This is a useful edition of a most important Act of Parliament. The explanatory notes are clear, full, and understandable, and follow each section in the body of the Act itself, being printed in a smaller type. This is an improvement upon the old system of foot-notes, and upon the still more inconvenient plan of collecting all the notes in a mass at the eud of the volume. The appendix contains all parts of previous statutes which are left unrepealed, or which are embodied in the present law ; and also the report of the London Committee, to whose unremitting exertions the passing of the Act was mainly owing. THE MAYOR'S DINNER AT LIVERPOOL. _ The Mayor of Liverpool entertained at dinner, at the Town-hall, on Thursday evening last, a distinguished party, including Sir James Duke, M.P., Lord Mayor of London; the Hon. George Bancroft, Minister to St. James's from the United States; the Hon. Sir Edward Cust, William Brown, Esq., M.P.. &c., Sir William Warre, the Mayor of Manchester, Lieutenant-Colonel Garratt, Lieutenant-Colonel French, Colonel Falconer, Major Warre, Lieutenant-Colonel Nicoll, Captain Bluett, Captain Mitchell, Major Mathias, the Rev. J. S. How son, the Rev. P. W. Brancker, Thomas Potter, James Kemp, John Rosson, R. V. Yates, E. J. Mozley, W. J. Myers, Charles Spencer, C. Bushell, J. B. Lloyd, W. R. Sandbach, town-clerk; J. A. Tinne, Edward Moon, J. Shipley, F. Hamilton, Esqs., &c. I❑ the course of the evening, the MAYOR proposed Mr. Bancroft's good health, and wishing him a prosperous voyage to his native country. The toast was drank with three times three. The Hon. Mr. BaNeuorr rose to return thanks. The words used by their respected Mayor were so kind, that it added to the pain of the position which rendered it necessary that he should say farewell. Three years ago, when he landed in Liverpool, he had no sooner struck his foot against the British soil than he was welcomed by the gentlemen of Liverpool; and now, on his return home, he was happy to say that everywhere he expe rienced the same kindness and hospitality. He found that respect for America was deeply rooted in society, and that the courtesies he experienced during his resi dence were not confined by considerations of secta rianism or interest, for he encountered them in equal force wherever he went.—(Cheers.) He met them in their schools, their colleges, at all their institutions—at the festive board, whether the occasion was to compli ment a Prime Minister or celebrate the distribution of prizes at an agricultural show. He found society over flowing with regard for America, and in every mouth prayers for her prosperity. He felt proud in being able to say that, in his country, these regards were fully re ciprocated. He was sent here as a messenger of good will; and now, on returning to his native land , he was bound to say that the present Administration entertain exactly the same views with regard to Great Britain as the Government he had the honour to represent. —(Cheers.) How could it be otherwise ? Look at your exports, and then look at your imports. There is as much good on one side as the other. The prosperity of both countries are identical; and the voice that now weekly crosses the broad waters is a voice of friendship,—(Cheers.) The day has gone by for any but reciprocal good feeling. He knew that the pros perity of Liverpool should create in them a spirit of en terprise; and the enterprise of this great town bespeaks your high position among all the nations of Europe.— (Cheers.) Your prosperity appears not only in your noble charitable institutions, your elevated literature and perfect science, but is consecrated in the memories of your great men—your Roscoes, and your living men-- (Cheers.) These blend with your ability and enterprise; and it is through the operation of commerce that you have been led to foster those great principles of liberty which give you so high a place in the great family of man and the proud brotherhood of nations.—(Cheers.) The principles exhibited from Penn, through Canning and Peel, abound more and more, and will grow to co• meet the bonds, not only of material, but of the finer interests of intelligenee.—(Cheers.) Several other speeches were made, and the company rose at half-past ten o'clock.—Abridged from Liverpool Journal. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. COWES, AUGUST 31. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE ARRIVALS.

The fear of death from this fell malady has has a material effect upon the business of the best assurance offices, as, to use a common expression, there has been quite a " run upon them" during the last two months. It is satisfac tory, however, to state that the claims upon these com panies, on account of cholera, and, indeed, on account of deaths from all causes, have not exceeded the esti mated mortality at this season of the year, when the number of deaths from all maladies are periodically greater than at any other period of the twelve months.— Reporter for September. HER MAJESTY AND HER IRISH GALLANTS.— Saunders's News Letter states that when the assembled multitude broke through the barrier of military and police which surrounded the Queen after the review in the Park, one of the boys cried out with stentorian lungs, "Blood alive, Madam, get rid of the horses and we'd carry you home ourselves." Another brawny son of the sod having seized hold of the Queen's arm with the most rapturous delight, her Majesty turned round to her Royal Consort and exclaimed, "Albert, I fear those good. natured Irishmen . will take me away from you." A HYBRID HARE. There was shot on the Muirton farm, lately a hare, apparently a cross with a rabbit, the body partaking most of the first animal, and the head of the latter. The flesh was also of a compo site character. It has been hitherto supposed by na turalists, that these races do not intermingle.—Perth Courier. AUG. 25.—Fercande, schooner, Major M.

Her Majesty and the Prince, accompanied by their children, and attended by the Hon. Miss Dawson, drove out yesterday afternoon in a pony carriage. Viscountess Jocelyn has left Balmoral, and has been succeeded as Lady in Waiting by the Marchioness of £999 16 91 I Douro. Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office, for the Governor of Canada, and also for the Governors of the other North American colonies. Mr. Arnold Rogers and his Sons beg to announce their removal from 296, Regent street, to 16, Hanover square.—Sept. 1, 1849. FIRE AT ISLINGTON, AND FATAL ACCIDENT TO THE FIRE-DOG.—Yesterday the house of Mr. Wright, John-street, Barnsbury-pack, Islington, was set on fire whilst some parties were engaged fumigating the place. The fire was confined to the destruction of the furniture of one of the rooms, and serious damage to two others. Whilst the engines were proceeding to the fire an acci dent happened which destroyed the life of " Billy," the celebrated fire- dog. The animal, as was his usual cus tom on an alarm of fire being raised, was making the hest of his way to the scene; when nearly opposite the Angel at Islington, he was knocked down by the horses of the Watling -street engine, and the wheels passed over his body, causing his almost instantaneous death. The poor animal was highly prized by the firemen of the Brigade and West of England, and for some considerable time past " Billy" has attended every fire which has occurred in London, or within a distance of 20 miles. ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH ' A UGU ST 31. Letters were received in the garrison this morning from Dover, announcing the death from cholera of Lieutenant G. 13.

" a ret r i , el :---- - --'-- from the command of the southern division of t h e at ree in 1848, en account of ill health, and was extace-) ii: England shortly, to join his family, who are in this country. Ho was married in 1831 to the second daughter of John Taylor Gorden, Esq., M.D., late physician to his late Majesty William IV. and to his Roy al Highntss the Duke of Cambridge. By this lady, who survives him, he has issue one son and one daughter, who, with their mother, are in England. Brigadier-GeueralUughes had no other family, having been only once married. The late Brigadier Hughes entered the army as a cadet in 1800, at the early age of fourteen years, end mas con sequently in his 63d year. He obtained his ensigccy on the Ist of September, 1801, was promoted to lieutenant on the 25th of July, 1805, to captain on the 4th of May, 1820, to major on the 13th of April, 1826, to lieutenant colonel on the 9th of February, 1830, and to colonel on the 26th of December, 1841. Brigadier Hughes obtained his regimental colonelcy ou the 16th of August, 1845. He was actively employed in 1818-19 in the Concan with the forces under Colonels Prother and Kenaedy, during which he shared in the reduction of the enemy's strongholds. After this he held the appointments of brigade-major in the Concan, and military secretary to Sir C. Halkett when Com mander-in-Chief of the Bombay army. He was made a Commanuder of the Bath on the 26th of September, 1831. He was appointed Commandant of the Garrison at Bombay on the 4th of March, 1843, and very shortly after became involved in a quarrel with the Town-unejor, which led to the trial of the latter officer at Pooled), in August following. The decision of the curt• martial and remarks of Sir T. 111‘Mahon furnished food for anything but favourable comment at the time in all the military circles in India. He was placed at the disposal of the Commander-in-Chief on the 17th of July, 1843 ; appointed a brigadier of the second . class, to command the Deesa Brigade, on the 27th of December, 1843; to the temporary command of the Mhow Brigade on the 3d of April, 1844, in which he was confirmed on the 11th of December to the 4th of July, 1844, the date of the decease of Major-General Fearon; and to the divisional staff of the army and command of the northern division on the 31st of August of the same year, vice Major- General Fearon, deceased, during the absence of Major-General Morse beyond the limits of the Presidency. On the expiration of the tour upon the staff of Major-General Delamotte, Brigadier Hughes was permanently appointed a brigadier-general on the divisional staff from the 25th of April , 1845. About the middl e o f t h e year 1846 the health of Brigadier-General Hughes began to tail him, and in September he v i s it e d t h e P res id ency ' on sick certificate. Hence he proceeded early in 4ovember to the Mahabuleshwar Hills on the same account, where he remained until the end of May, 1847. Ho next proceeded to the Deccan in search of health, where he remained until appointed to the command of the southern division of the army on the departure of Major-General Morse for England. In this command he continued until the Ist of April, 1848, when he was permitted to resign. The Government no tification of his resignation, dated March 2, is as fol lows:—” In announcing this resignation, the Hon. the Governor in Council desires to record his high sense of the honourable and faithful services rendered by Briga dier-General S. Hughes, C. 8., during his long career of forty- four years, and will have much satisfaction in bringing the same to the special notice of the Hon. the Court.of Directors." Brigadier Hughes was a man al most universally beloved by those with whom he came in contact either in public or private life, and his death will be sincerely regretted by not a few. HIDDEN DANGERS AT SEA.—Our readers will no doubt remember the sudden appearance some eighteen years ago of a small island, and very soon after its nearly as sudden disappearance off Sciacca, on the south west coast of Sicily, a region noted in past ages for its submarine volcanoes. Accounts from Malta by the overland mail report that the Terrible steam-frigate, sent to take soundings on the shoal, had returned after finding the water much shallower than it is marked on the charts, and another shoal of much greater Extent had been discovered not marked at all, which leads to a strong presumption that some volcanic action is in pro gress. For the more minutely examining the new shoal the Rosamond steam-sloop, of less draught of water, was dispatched from Malta on the 22d, and had net up to the 24th yet returned. Sir William Parker, the coin mander• in-chief in the Mediterranean, had also dispatchE d from Malta several of the launches of the ships in port, accompanied by the Oberon and Spitfire steam• sloops, to seek for (by means of dragging) a hidden rock, which, though said to have been seen by several Greek and Maltese seamen during the past forty years, is still classed among the doubtful dangers, and upon which it is sup posed the Earl of Auckland steamer struck in March last, situated from 87 to 95 miles due east of Malta. NORFOLK ESTUARY COMPANY. -- Yesterday the sixth half-yearly meeting of the proprietors in this undertaking was held at the Gray's Inn coffee-house, Holborn, Sir W. B. Ffolkes, Bart., in the chair. Mr. Wing, the solicitor, read the report of the directors. It commenced by congratulating the shareholders upon their success on obtaining an amended Act of Par liament which extended the time for the completion of the works, and compelled the corporation of Lynn, and the Eau-brink commissioners to contribute 60,0001. each towards the undertaking. The financial state ment showed the receipts of the half-year—comprising a call of 11. 10s. per share, 7331. 10s. ; interest thereon, 91. 18s. I Id., and a balance on the last account of 5,1131. 9s. sd.—to amount to 5,856/. 18s. 4d. The expenditure, including three separate sums of 1,0001. each to the,engineers, the parliamentary agents and the solicitors, on account, amounted to 3,343/. 14s. Oid., leaving a present balance of 2,5131. 4s. 3id. The report having been adopted, the following resolution was agreed to:—" That to enable ea c h shareholder the better to understand his true position, the directors be requested to make contracts conditional on the approval of the shareholders at the half-yearly meeting of Fe bruary next, for the cuts and all works preliminary and appertaining thereto, and report the short particulars to each shareholder at least three weeks before the meeting in February next." After a vote of thanks to the chair man, the meeting separated. DESTRUCTION OF FARM PROPERTY IN ESSEX.— Between eight and nine o'clock last evening a fire broke out at Dagenham, on the premises belonging to Mrs. Tuck. At the usual hour in the evening, when the la bourers left off work, the farm seemed perfectly free from tire. Shortly afterwards, however, and while some of the men were regaling themselves at a public-house, an alarm was raised that flames were issuing from the premiss s. All the assistance the neighbourhood could afford at the moment, in endeavouring to suppress the fire, and res cuing the horses, cattle, and agricultural implements, was rendered. The live stock, with many of the agricul tural implements, with the dwelling-house, were saved, but the farm buildings, with a large farm, the granary having been pulled down to escape the ravages of the fire, although it was slightly burnt, and no fewer than six stacks, four of hay and two of oats, were consumed, causing a very serious loss. A body of the K division of police from Dagenham arrived early at the fire, and made a strict investigation into the cause of the disaster. It is conjectured that it was the work of an incendiary. We understand that the property destroyed Has insured in the Union Fire-office. TEE OLDEST VEThRAN IN THE ARMY.—At the age of 91, died a short time since, General Sir George Nugent, who, when living, was the senior veteran in the British army. Of these 91 years 72 were spent in t h e service of his country—in active and useful service, Although not so brilliant or beneficial as those of many of his co-veterans. The General served in Holland undrr the Duke of York, in British North America, in Jamaica, and was mainly instrumental in the suppression of the rebellion of '9B in Ireland. He was a good soldier, that is be was strict in his discipline, yet humane to Lis men. The old veteran is now at peace ; and a marble tablet, commemorative of his deeds, is about to be placLd in the church of Little Marlow, Bucks, where his ashes repose. OPENING OF THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE RAILWAY.- Considerable speculation prevails in this town as to the probability of this line being ready for opening by tie time specified—the 10th of September. We have much pleasure in stating, on the best authority, that the works are proceeding in the most satisfactory manlier, and that no doubt whatever is entertained of the works from Don caster to Swinton being quite ready by the day appointed. The cutting between Levitt Liagg and Warmsworth will be completed without any difficulty.

The unfortunate occu pants of the boat were immedi a t e l y i mmersed, and, al though their cries brought speedy assistance to the spot, one only was saved. Every effort was made to recover the body of the survivor's companion (a youth named Welsh, aged 19), but without avail. HERRING FISIIING.—Our herring fishing seems near at u close, as few have been taken these ftw days past, and the prices are low. On Saturday last a good deal of fish were brought in here, but principally from the Scotch boats, which got great shots at . Dunbar. Prices from ss. to 8% per cran. The boats whi ch were south of Beadnell bad also good success; in one cast . 64 crans were delivered, and 11 nets lost of a boat. T he season throughout has been of a mo st un p roductive kind, the prices for cured fish so low, that the merchants had nu encouragement to cure and send to market; and the large talics at Dunbar kept acontirne glad to state ualsupplylor them at a lower rate tha n usual. We a that this season the fishermen have not lost many nets; and, with the exception of two . case s, we believe the par ties are pretty sa fe.—Berwirch Warder.
