In tl.O Admiralty In structions to Si: James Tess, that offica i 3 desired to secure the Investigator in the winter of 1848 as near Cape Rennell as pos,ible. From that posi ticn a cAtsiderable extent of coast, say the Instruc tions, may he explored on loot ; and in the following spring (1849) detached parties are to be sent across the ice by Captain Bird, "in order to lock thoroughly into the creeks along the western CO2. t of Boothia, and even as far as Cape Nicolai." So soon as the summer should have opened a pa-sage be tween the land and the main body of ice, the steam launches are ordered to be sent into Lancaster Sound to meet the whalers. We have something tan gible to deal with. The Instructhms which we have quoted were prepared by a board of eminent Arctic officers; and we find that a journey from Cape Rennell to Cape Nicolai, following the indentations of the coast in the spring of this year, is considered as perfectly practicable. We say nothing about the re tern journey; but we presume that the boats would net winter apart from the ships. Now, if Sir James Ross, according to the report., Teas-ed the winter of 1848 at Port Jackson, Regent's Lolat, and was • aware (as the Esquimaux say he was) of Franklin's safety, it does appear extraordinary that parties were not dis patched by him across the ice in the present spring or summer to communicate with the whalers—which, be it observed, he is ordered to do. The distance between the two points is very much less than that from Cape Rennell to Cape Nicolai. Mr. Geodsir on more than one occasion expresses his astonishment that " no word has come down from Sir James Ross," as he declares that the officers of the expedition were perfectly aware that the whalers would be in Pond's Bay during the entire month of July. In fact, to re peat ourselves, supposing Sir James Ross to be where the report places him, - the road to the whalers was as open to him as to the Esquimaux who brought that report. That he should have made no communication by his own messengers, nor given any document to authenticate the communication made by the Esquimaux, throws, in our opinion, very serious discredit on the report itself. Finally, it is yet more difficult to conceive that if Sir John Frank - lin had been frozen up for three winters in the spot indicated, he should have spared no volunteers from his expedition to carry the news of his whereabouts to any station through which it might have reached those whom his silence delivered over to doubt, deepening into despair, at home. This is so melancholy a view of the case, that we are glad to find, and to report, that an opposite one is entertained by those who may be considered the great Arctic authorities. We have caused inquiries to be made, and such is the result. Sir George Back, who has had great intercourse with the native Etquitnaux, declares " that he never knew an Indian or an Esqui maux tracing to fail; and after deliberately weighing all the information, he is of opinion that four ships, answering to those cornposirg the two expeditions, were seen some time in the spring of this year by the Esquirnaux; but whether in Prince Regent's Inlet or to the westward of Boothia is uncertain." Captain Parry, Colonel Sabine, and Admiral Beaufort are all in favour of the truth of the E:quimaux report. We are sorry to hear, from unquestionable au thority, that the munificent reward offered by Go vernment for the relief of the missing expedition, has had no effect in instiga'ing any of the whalers to search for the ships with the exception of the Truelove and the Advice. Sent out for the one important object of whaling, the captains, doubtless, feel that unless arm e d w i t h the fullestdiscretionary powers from their employers, the owners of the ships, they would not be warranted in running any risk by de viating from their course in pursuit of whales. The dangers of the Arctic seas have been again brought painfully before us by the loss of two whalers this year in Melville Bay, and all accounts agree in stating that Lancaster Sound was barred in the month of August by a solid body of ice stretching across the straits to Admiralty Inlet. Thus, in consequence of her laten ess o f sa ili ng, i t is very übtful whether the North te:tar, the ship sent out this year with pro visions for the expeditions, has effected a communi cation with the ships. Mr. Goedsir says :—" Th e r e are a hu n d re d c h ances aga i nst the North Star being able to communicate with the expedition this year. Had she only been sent out in time, she would have got through Melville Bay along with the fleet of w haters with the greatest ease and safety up the Sound early in July. We may mention that Mr. GJodsir's last letter bears the date of August 22, at which time he was in lat. 68 deg. 30 min., far too much to the south to glean any intelligence respecting the expedition. * We earnestly recommend our readers who are in terested in the subject of this paper, and desire to follow out the argument advantageously, to procure the Admi ralty Chart of the Arctic Seas—which alone contains the names of the various capes, heads, bays, &c. Let them be careful to ask for the Chart corrected to 1847.

(From Eliza Cook's Journal.) Oh! never " hold malice," it poisons our life, With the galldrop of hate anti the nightshade of strife; Let us scorn where we must and despise where we may, But let anger, like sunlight, go down with the day. Our spirits in clashing may bear the hot spark, ttut no smouldering flame to break out iu the dark; 'fis the narrowest heart that creation can make, Where our passion folds up like the coils of a snake. Oh I never " hold malice;" it cannot be good; For 'Lis nobler to strike in the rush of but blood Than to bitterly cherish the name of the foe, Wait to sharpen the weapon and measure the blow. The wild dog in hunger—the wolf in its spring— The shark of the waters—the asp with its sting— Are less to be feared than the vengeance of m in, When it ly eth in secret to wound when it can. Oh! never " hold malice;" dislike if you will, Yet remember Humanity linketh us still; We are all of us human, and a ll o f us erring, And mercy within us should ever be stirring. Shall we dare to look up to the Father above, With petitions for pardon or pleading for love; Shall we dare, while we pant for revenge on another, To ask from a God yet deny to a brother? ELIzA.

The deficiency, however, was only in quantity, the Prendergast having excited extraordinary interest. Pitsford was backed tee night before, and on the heath before starting, for an immense amount, at 5 to 2, 3 to 1, and 7 to 2; not a shilling being laid out on Bolingbroke for it, although backed freely for the Derby at 20 to 1. The race terminated in the unequivocal defeat of the favourite, to the consternation of his backers, but assuredly not to the surprise of those who saw him stripped before starting. This unlooked for issue of a " certainty" had the immediate effect of springing Bolingbroke to 10 to 1 for the Derby, and Nutshell to 1,000 to 30, taken freely, Pitsford receding to 40 to 1. The betting on the Cambridgeshire also underwent a Momentous change, Rathmines having been backed in the morning for a large sum, and rising to 6 to 1 in less than one hour. PERTH RACES.—TIIIIRSDAY.

It appeared from the report which was presented, that since the last quarterly meeting relief had been ext en d e d to 722 in-patients and 761 out patients. Of those reliev e d on b oard 17 came from her Majesty's ships, 561 f rom t h e British and foreign mer chant service, and there were already on board, at the commencement of the quart er , 14 4. Of this number 621 had been discharged, and 99 remained on board at the present time. Since the first establishment of the society in 1821, no less than 60,496 seamen, from all branches of the service, had been relieved. The income of the society, during the past quarter, amounted to 2,7661. 7s. 3d., and the expenditure had equalled th a t amount. Of the receipts, 258/, were from don a ti ons , 170/. from subscriptions, 6301. from dividends on stock, 1291, from the merchunti' seaman's money, and 7461. had . been received as lines, levied under the 7th and Bth of Victoria, c. 112. The dispute which had occurred with the Liverpool corporation in respect of these tines had been decided in favour of the society, and some arrears of payments...due from the corporation had been re ceived. The corporation intended, however, to proseetve the matter still further. The Dreadnought, hospital ship was still in duck undergoing repairs, the Dea,,,n shire remaining on the station in her place. During the past quarter a great number of cholera cases had hem received on beard the Iphienea, which had been retained sol,ly as a hr,spit3l for cho'cra patients ; the number received had, however, considerably diminished within the last fortnight. This report was received and a d o p te d, and, after th e transac ti on o f some routine buainess, the court adj9y.rnod. CHOLERA RETURN OF , CASES, OcT. 11. THE ME I .:I.'ROPOLIS.

THE AUSTRALIAN SURVEY.—We have intelligence from her nijesty's ship Rattlesnake to the 9th of May. On the afternoon of that day, Captain Stanley was about to sail for the northward to pursue his survey ing operations. They were to pick up the most easterly point of the Louisiade, and survey along its southern shore until they joined the survey on the coast of New Guinea, where Captain Blackwood, in the Fly, left off. Thence the Rattlesnake was to pro ceed to Cape York, to meet the provision-ship; after which she proceeds to Arvo Island, to some of the Dutch settlements at Amboyna and Ceram, thence to the Coepany, in the island of Times, ultimately returning to Sydney by the westward, as she did on her former cruise. HER MAJESTY'S SLOOP ALITATROSS.—We stated a few weeks since that the Albatross, Commander Farquhar, now at Whampoa, had been ordered to England, after taking charge of a schooner, the Aug. , tralia, and navigating her to Sydney. From last ac counts there is reason to believe that her Majesty's ship Meander will take care of the schooner, as she is going to the Sydney and New Zealand division of the station, en route to the Pacific and England ; and in that case the Albatross will come direct to England to be paid off. Captain Philip King (1830), who, as stated last week, is about to emigrate to New South Wales, having received a grant of land from the Colonial office, will receive the retirement of 18s. per diem as soon as he reaches the required seniority. By the deaths of Captains Wallis and Creyke, re tired Captains Septimus Arabin and Thomas Ball Clowes become entitled to succeed to the retired pay of 20s. per diem, in accordance w ith th e t e rms o f th e Order in Council of 1844 ; and by the deaths of Com manders Whipple and Cunby, Commanders John Popham Baker and James Gordon (1821) succeed to the half-pay of 10s. per diem. SALUTING THE POPE'S FLAG.—Previously to the the departure of her Majesty's ship Prince Regent, 90, Captain W. F. Martin, Pope Pius arrived at Naples in Ferdinand's own steamer, and, although his Majesty was on board, the Pope's flag floated at the mainmast head; and as she passed the noble two decker, Captain Martin ordered a salute of 21 guns to be fired, at which his Holiness was very much de• lighted. _ _ HER MAJESTY'S SLOOP SEEPENT.—This sloop, fitting at Portsmouth by Commander Charles Barker, proceeds at once direct to the East Indies to relieve the Albatross, 12, Commander Farquhar, ordered to Devonport to be paid off. STOREKEEPER. AND AGENT VICTUALLER AT HONG KONG.—Commander Charles Parker (1829), son of the late Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, and half-brother of the present Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., has been appointed Storekeeper and Agent Victualler at Hong Kong, vice Paymaster and Purser M'Knight, recalled. A SECOND "TERRIBLE."-It is reported, on very good authority, that the Admiralty are about to ap propriate the 800-horse power paddle-wheel engines taken out of the Retribution for another magnificent ship like the Terrible. She is to be of 2,000 tons, and the construction of this gigantic steamer is to be confided to Mr. Lang, of Woolwich Dockyard, who designed the Terrible. We need scarcely remark that she will stow more coals and carry a heavier armament. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) Although a fair proportion of business has been trans acted since our last, many buyers have not been ab:e to have their orders completed within the period originally agreed upon. South Frances, South Basset, Condurrow, Treviskey and Barrier, Trelawny, and other shares, have been in demand. In Wheal Adams, a very considerable im provement has taken place; the discovery is represented to be worth from 701. to 80/. per rm. There have been inquiries for Birch Tor shares, both here and in the country, at about our present. quotations, and some busi ness done in Wheal Franco. Shares in the following mines have changed hands during the week:—Devon Great Consols, East Wheal Rose, Bedford United, Stray Park, Trelawny, Trehane, Treviskey and Barrier, Tincroft, Birch Tor and Vitifer, Tamar Console, Wheal Franco, Kingsett and Bedford, Treleigh Consols, South Tamar, S out h F rances, Tre thellan %Vest ' radon, West Wh ea l T o l gus, W est Wheat Treasury. Captain Puekey of Fowey Consols Mine, having, at the request of the directors, inspected llawkmoor Mine, has forwarded a highly favourable report, which will be found among our mining intelligence. He states it is very rare to find a good course of copper ore so near where any former company ceased working, as they have it in the 20 far. level ; he was not, however, alto gether surprised, as the appearances in the 10 ftn, level indicate something good below. He considers the lo cality good—having Devon Great Consols to the North, Bedford United to the east, with some of the lodes running through Hawkmoor, and Gunnis Lake Mine to the South. Taking all things into consideration, the water-power at hand, and the very favourable indi• cations, he considers it a valuable mine, and, with spirited development, highly probable to make a per manently profitable one. Grambler and St. Aubyn account meeting was held on the 9th instant, when a profit of 1261. 10s. Bd. was found for the four months ending August, which, with the balance from last account, leaves to credit 4371. 6s. 2d. We understand from our local correspondence, that a valuable branch of yellow copper ore has been cut in these mines from one to two feet wide, on the course of the eastern drivings. The usual quarterly meeting of the Callington Mines Company was held on Wednesday; the financial state ment showed a balance of 1,659/. 2s. 11d. against the mine, less June subsist of 1081. 10s. The Kelly Brae Mine, which it appears is worked separately, sustained a loss on the three months' working of 729/. 7s. 7d., which, with a balance brought from last account, taking credit for the twenty-first instalment of 2,0001., leaves a balance against the mine of 1,7611. 19s. 6d. At the Tamar meeting the accounts showed amount of silver-lead ores sold, 21,8081. 16s. Bd. for the year, show ing profit of 3,686/ 3s. 9d., which, with other receipts, made a balance of 7,3812 18s. 2,1., out of which two in dividuals have been paid, amounting to 5,760/ ; to the reserve fund 576/, leaving in hand 1,045 L 18s. 2d. The report will be found highly satisfactory. By a statement male by Mr. Stainsby, after the Tamar meeting, respecting the position of the Tincroft property, it appears highly favourable for permanently profitable results, there being ore in sight to the value of upwards of 67,000/., with many hundreds of fathoms of, ground unexplored. The directors, at their:meeting on the 4th instant, declared a dividend of 7s. per share, being 5 per cent, on the paid up capital. At the Comblawn meeting, the accounts showed a balance against the mine of 15s. 4 , 1. A resolution was passed for the purchase of a steam engine. At the Wheal Seton twe-monthly meeting, the ac counts showed—Ores sold (less dues), 2,8501.55. 2d.; leaving balance in favour of adventurers, 5881. 18s. 6d. In foreign mines, the principal transactions have been in United Mexicans, St. John del Rey, Imperial Bra zilian, Copiapo, and National Brazilian, and a few share in Guadalcanal and Australians have changed hands. years would be 10,8001., so that the difference be tween the actual surplus income and the surplus in come fairly due, even according to this limited esti mate, would on the three years be no less than 10,7451. This, our readers will admit, is a highly unsatisfactory conclusion ; and although it is true that the difficulty of making a calculation is very great, yet such a result far exceeds the mar gin which might be left for errors inci dent to an estimate of this kind, and is strangely inconsistent with what is represented as possible under different management. The total value of the area of the New Forest, exclusive of the timber, has been calculated at amounts varying from less than a quarter of a million sterling to upwards of a million and a quarter—a discrepancy which is of itself enough to show the extreme uncertainty of estimates in these matters. Still, we gather from the able and unprejudiced testimony of Messrs. Clutton that the general quality of the soil is not only good, but is admirably adapted to the growth of that timber sahich is most valuable in this country — namely, oak , indeed, there is a concurrence of evi dence to the e - ffect that at least 30,000 or 35,000 acres of the forest are as well calculated for growing oak as any land in the whole kingdom. When, therefore, we learn from the same authorities, that a rental of timber land under good management should be as lirge and as sure, after a certain period, as the rental from a like portion of cultivated land," we are warranted in regretting that the New Forest, in the 750th year of its existence, should not have been brought to pay its own expenses. Yet, as far as recent enclosures go, the highest encomiums are passed by the several witnesses on the hedging, ditch ing, planting, and general management; and planta tions of oak timber are still recommended as the most promising method of cultivating the land. The deer are loudly condemned as a serious source of damage and no source of gain ; but some readers may, per haps, be interested in learning that the fern which forms so becoming an undergrowth in these woods i 3 decidedly favourable to the growth and stature of the oak. IVe have not left ourselves much space for par ticularising the cost and produce of the smaller forests. Wychwo o d F ores t, i n Oxfordshire, is per haps as striking a specimen of management as any. In this case the accounts are not embarrassed by any charges for inclosing and planting, so that we can see our way a little more clearly. The rights of the Crowe, it appears, comprise, inter alia, a title to certain drifts of underwoo3, the value of which royal privilege is determinable by the following figures : Receipts for the thee years ending 1847.8 £9OB 9 6 Expenditure during the same period... Excess of the cost of cutting over the value of the wood £64 18 5 To this estimate should be appended the circum stance that s.rious differences have occurred between the Crown and the Hereditary Ranger on the sub ject of their respective rights, and that the " expenses of the suit" between the said parties " had amounted in 1-45 to a sum exceeding 7,0001." Yet it is calculated that this land, if cleared and let, would produce from 225. to 255. an acre rent; or if sold, 100,0001. The timber on it is valued at 60,0001, but no accounts represent the total net income of the whole property for the last ten years as reach ing 1,000/. Waltham Forest may, perhaps, be a more interesting subject to a Londoner than other more important but less contiguous demesnes. The administration of the Royal estate exhibits a highly edifying relic of antiquity. It should possess a Ranger, but it appears to be altogether unascertainable in whose person this honour is now vested. It still, how ever, boasts a Court of Verderers, four in number ; but " as these officers are equally divided in opinion upon all subjects, it was found they could transact no business at their meetings, and they have therefore ceased to attempt it by holding any meetings at all." The result of these complexities has been " sus pension of all legal authority" over the district in question ; but we are greatly inclined to agree with Mr. Pusey's opportunities, that considering the opposition of public recreation afforded by this tract of land, and the interminable expenses likely to follow on litigation, it may be inexpedient to disturb the state into which things have settled themselves. As much, however, cannot be said of the other Crown lands. Here are many thousands of acres, either prcducing returns ridicu lously inadequate to the value of the land, or posi tively entailing an annual expense, although it is clearly certified that if properly managed as planta tions they should yield a fair rent; if enclosed, should be as productive as any other land ; or if sold, should realise very considerable sums. One of those alternatives must be adopted without delay, for the country, when once informed upon the subject, will assuredly never permit the continuance of matters as they are.— Times. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BER- WICK RAILWAY. A special general meeting of the proprietors of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, resid en t i n London, was held yesterday, for the purpose of electing two delegates to attend the special meeting of the company, to be held in York on the 25th in staut, for the appointment of the future directors of the concern. The Hon. Mr. Home Browne was called to the chair. The CnitinsfArg explained the objects of the meeting, and called upon the shareholders to deter mine the mode of proceeding that should be now adopted. Mr. PRANCE thought they had only one matter to determine, and that was whom they should elect to represent them at the forthcoming meeting in. York. Sir JouN EASTHOPE wished, before they went t. that business, to have some expression of opinion upon the question of appointing auditors. Much of the mischief that railways had latterly suffered from could be traced to the defective audit system that had hitherto prevailed, and it was therefore his decided conviction that some alteration must be made in the existing law, to place the auditing of railway accounts more under the control of Government. . _ Alderman SIDNEY perfectly agreed with the Hon. Baronet, and was rejoiced to find that a feeling in favour of Government auditors was rapidly gaining ground. It was objected that no honourable man would undertake the office of director of a railway company if he had a Government officer placed over him ; but he, for one, could not sympathise with such an objection. The maladministration of railway affairs had been so glaring and profligate that it was absolutely necessary, for the sake of public decency and honour, that Parliament should take the subject into its serious consideration immediately after its meeting in the ensuing session ; and he hoped the suggestion just thrown out by the Hon. Baronet would be adopted by the meeting. Colonel JOHNSTONE could not understand why railway directors should be so very nice about having auditors placed over them. For his part, when he had the command of a regiment and its funds at his control, he was always most anxious to have his accounts strictly examined and checked by an auditor independent of himself, and the meeting might depend upon it that until the same practice was adopted in railway companies, the public would place no confidence whatever in their published accounts. The present mode of auditing railway ac counts was nothing better than a farce, if not a fraud upon the shareholders,_ and he therefore hoped Parlia• meat would interfere to put a stop to it. Alderman SIDNEY, in order to bring the question formally before the meeting, moved a resolution to the effect that it was expedient that a public auditor, in dependent of the company, should be appointed, under the provisions of an Act of Parliament. Colonel JOHNSTONE had much pleasure in second ing the resolution. MAYHEW would not object to the appointment of the public auditor, but he could see no reason why he could not be appointed as well by the shareholders as the Government. lie was entirely opposed to the principle of Government interference in the internal management of railway companies, and if it were proposed he hoped the Legislature would never sanc tion it. lie moved as an amendment that a public auditor, who should have no interest in the concern, be appointed by the company. Mr. BASSETT seconded the amendment, believing that if the principle of Government supervision were once applied to railway accounts it would not be long before it was extended to the accounts of every species of joint. stock companies. Mr. SCOTT agreed with the spirit of the original resolution, and observed that it was mere moonshine to expect that justice would ever be done to the public by auditors emanating from the shareholders. • After some further discussion the amendment was put from the chair and lost, when the original reso lution was carried by a moderate majority. The specific business of the meeting was then com menced, and Alderman Sidney, Mr. Prance, Sir John Easthope, and the Chairman, were respectively pro posed as delegates to represent the London share holders at the York meeting. The CHAIRMAN said it would be inconvenient for him to act, and his name was accordingly withdrawn. Mr. SMITH said, before the meeting elected two out of the other three, he should be glad to hear from the gentlemen proposed whether they had any interest that was likely to militate against their acting im partially. Sir J. EASTIMPE was generally not disposed to answer such a question when it was proposed to elect him to an office of trust, but in these times of railway ad versity it was not advisable to be too fastidious on such an occasion as this. He would tell the honour able proprietor, then, that with the exception of a few shares in the South-Western, ho held no shares in any other English railway but this. While entering into this explanation it was right that he should express his decided disapprobation of what be con ceived to be a scheme, on the part of the existing committee of management, for electing a certain individgal_ to the poet of managing director. lie THE ROYAL FORESTS. We promised our readers, on a recent occasion, some details respecting :the' actual condition, ma nagement, and produce of the Royal Forests. The principal domains of this class are eleven in number —four of which, including the New Forest, lie, for tunately, contiguous to the public dockyards in the county of Southampton ; three are situated in N orth amptonshire, one in Gloucestershire, one in Notting hamshire, one in Oxfordshire, and one in E ssex . In two of these—viz., Rockingham and Sherwood forests—the rights and interest.of the Crown have, with the sanction of Parliament, Leen decisively alienated • in some others the respective in terest of : claimants have been completely cl , fined and separated; but in the New Forest, and one or two more, these conflicting rights remain still without any satisfactory regulation. Besides the woods above mentioned, there are also the Royal Forest of Windsor, with which most of our readers will be acquainted, Parkhurst Forest in the Lie of Wight, and Delamere Forest in the county of Ches ter. The aggregate extent of all these domains is not exactly stated, but it must considerably exceed 100,000 acres. The rights of the Crown, however, over these lands are not, as we have said, absolute, and in some cases a material limitation is placed upon the number of acres which may at one time be enclosed for plantations. We take the New Forest as the most conspicuous and important specimen of the class. This forest contains about 66,000 acres of land, hut though the title of forest is given to the whole, there are no fewer than 45,000 acres on which no trees are growing, so that the actual timber land is less than 20,000 acres. Of these, 7,200 have been planted since 1808, and 1,200 are now thrown open ; that is to say, as we presume, 1,200 acres of plantations out or the 7,200 have arrived at such maturity as to re quire no further inclosure nor tending. Indeed, of the whole 7,200 an experienced surveyor reports, that they " demand no further expenditure, but should yield a considerable annual income independent of the accumulating value." When we come to figures, however, we find that the " income" of the matured plantations for the three years, ending 1847-8, was only some 8,0001., while the " expenditure on planta tions generally," was upwards :of 17,000/., although the jnolosures effected during this period extended only to 850 acres. The cost of planting an acre is set down at about ten guineas, so that the following statement has been given, though not yet adopted by the committee, as representing the balance of the eccount:— Expenditure in three years ... £17,256 15 2 Deduct for planting 850 acres, at 104 8 925 0 0 Os. per acre Remuins for management of plantations 8,332 0 0 Receipts from ditto ... ... ... 8 , 3 8 3 0 0 Surplus income in three years ••• £56 0 0 It appears by Mr. Clutton's evidence that the 7,200 acres only, in their existing state, should produce an average rent of 108. per acre, which for three •;:ii:',Dirb• Vibttion 'THE UNITED STATES, (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

The trial of Huber, at the High Court of Justice of Versailles was continued on Friday. After the Pre sident had refused to grant llubert's request to have Blanqui and Raspail called up, the witnesses were called, and confirmed generally the facts mentioned in the act of accusation. These the accused admits generally. M. Cemansois Deprey gave an account of the in vasion, and said he did not see Huber take the Presi dent by the collar, as he was accused of having done, but Huber was much excited. Huber said his excitement arose from the danger to the Assembly, and asked the witness whether he had not said that if the petition was not read the Assembly would be invaded. M. Lemansois Deprey replied in the affirmative. Buchez, then PreAdent of the Assembly, ad mitted that Huber had not dragged him from the President's chair, as was affirmed—he bad been pushed elf from behind. Mounier, Stcretary of Police under Caussidiere, ' was cross-examined :by the prisoner at some length, ina , ,rnuch as on him depended the truth or falsehood of Blanqui's accusation, that Huher was a paid secret agent, charged to betray the Republican party, no fact in that tense was elicited from the witness.

The Oesterreichische Correspondentcontains the fol lowing correspondence :--" Pesti), Oct. 6.—Yesterday . afternoon there was a great sensation Buda-Pesth. It became known that Count Louis Bitthyany, the ex-Hungarian Minister President, was to die on the gallows, as it had been proved by the evidence of seventeen witnesses, that he had, prircipally by means of bribery, been instrumental in compassing the abominable murder of the Minister of War, Count Latour. To-day, the 6th of October, being the anniversary of the murder, was appointed for Count Batthyany's execution. The gallows was erected on the so-called Holzplatz,' behind the Neugebande. The Pesther Zeitung, late in the evening received orders to leave an open space for the sentences given by three court-martials, which were to appear in the number of the 6th, and to keep a press in readiness early in the morning. The sen tences of Count Batth3 any, Count Stephen Carcly, and the guerilla chief Fekete, were ready to go to press when a new order arrived to omit the first sen tence, as Batthyany's orecution had been put off. On this account the Pesther Zeitung could not appear until noon. Official facts we have none. It is certain that Grenadiers formed a line up to the gallows, and that the Count, who had been exposed since the pre ceding day, was led out to execution." (ft i s th e custom in Austria to permit the condemned man to receive any visits he pleases and to eat and drink whatever he chooses to command during the last three days he has to live. Thi3 is technically called being ausgesetzt (exposed), as curiosity generally induces crowds of people to visit the poor creature condemned to die.) " From this time the accounts vary. According to some the Count at tempted to stab himself with a dagger, others say that he tore open his throat with a nail. It is not positively known whether he is mortally wounded, but it is an indisputable fact that he is still alive. Count Stephen Carcly was sentenced to two years' arrest in a eortress, a fine of 150,000 florins (15,0000, and to the restitution of that sum of money which he had received from the rebel-junto for the formation of a cavalry regiment. Fekete, a notoriously good for•nothing fellow, who after the month of March was the leader of the so called Egalite Troop,' and subsequently guerilla chief, captured an Imperial money chest, which he did not even think it worth while to deliver up to the revolutionary Government. He was executed this morning by means of powder and ball." From the statement of the other German papers there appears no reason to doubt the attempted sui cide of the unfortunate Count Louis Batthyany, by puncturing his neck (in several places) with a needle (or nail). It was hoped at Pesth that the penalty of death would be commuted, in the event of the Count surviving, for his life was in imminent danger from the hemorrhage which had supervened, and which the surgeons were making every exertion to stop. The town of Pesth was much agitated, but no dis turbance had taken place. _ _ The following were hanged, on the 6th, at Arad : Schweidel, Damianich, Nagy Sandor, Vecsey, Torok, Aulich, Poltenberg, Knesich, and Leiningen.

The sth and 4th Dragoon Guards are first for Ireland. This infor mation must not be taken as official, as various cir cumstances may intervene to prevent its fulfilment. It, however, may be relied upon as far as our present information goes. The official notification and the letters of readiness to corps will be forwarded on or about the 18th of January, and the Irish moves com mence about the 15th of April. THE PRUSSIAN RIFLE. —The authorities have gra ciously given orders for the admission, duty free, of a Prussian rifle, which Lord Arundel has procured for the Ordnance Board. This, we suppose, is the valu able zeind nadel spoken of lately in this and other papers, and ft,und so much more efficacious, by reason of its range, than the muskets and rifles new in use. We shall be curious to see whether any attempt will be made to introduce the weapon into the British army. The Secretary :hip to the Board of Ordnance, vacant by the death of Mr. R. Byham, is now a matter of great competition among certain men of rank and family connexions. Amongst the candidates whose names have reached us are Lord Clarence Paget and Major-Gen€ral Fox, the Surveyor-Creneral to the Ordnance. The salary of the office is 1,400/. per annum. TLIR NAVY ESTIMATES.—The Admiralty have already begun to stir the departments on the subject of the estimates for 1850 51. Orders have been sent to the dockyards from the Director of Works' De partment to furnish statements of the establishment at present borne and in future required. TUE CoMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IN THE EAST INDIES. —We hear from the East Indies that the Gallant Commauder in Chief Rear-Admiral Sir F. Collier, 0.13., has entirely lost the use of one of his arms by the stroke of paralysis he sustained at Hong Kong a few months si nce . H e , h owever, pers i sts i n reta i ning his command, as he feels assured his mental faculties are unimpaired. The Gallant Admiral had changed his intention of visiting Bombay, where everything was prepared for his reception ; he prefers wintering in one of the ports of China and was to leave Trinco malee very shortly for Hong-Kong. Afflicted, and physically helpless, as he is, it is not at all probable that he will remain out in so responsible a position as that of Commander-in-Chief during his full period of service ; and we should not be at all surprised, there fore, to hear of his sudden retirement from active afloat duties, and his return to England. STEAM DEPARTMENT.—SOMERSET HOUSE.—There are reports in circulation to the effect that some very important changes are about to take place in this de partment with the view to economy and efficiency. Mr. Dinnen, inspector of steam machinery afloat, and who has been most actively and incessantly employed for many years in the various branches of marine steam machinery, and was appointed inspector of steam machinery in the last Experimental Squadron, has been appointed to the staff of the steam depart ment of Somerset House, at a salary of 4501. per annum. This is a most just and well-deserved ap pointment. Mr. Dinnen's great practical experience afloat renders bira a most valgable servant. was not in a situation to say that the gentle man pointed to in the report of the com mittee ought or ought not to be appointed, but when he was told that two of the most honourable and efficient directors that had been upon the board of management of this company had declared their intention not to retain their seats in the event of this gentleman being appointed, while another who was then present, and who paid the company 50,000/. a year in the shape of dues, had pronounced an opinion that his appointment would result in the ruin of the under taking, he did think that the clehgates whom the meeting selected should be unbiassed upon that ques tion. He felt this the more, because the very paper that had first unmasked the duplicity of Mr. Hud son's management had recently indulged in a most scurrilous attack upon this gentleman, and the meeting ought to be careful that it did not elect a delegate who had been canvassing in favour of his appointment. A PROPRIETOR would be glad to know to whom the Honourable Baronet alluded. Sir JOHN EASTHOPE had no hesitation in stating that it was to Mr. Love. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY would follow the example of the Honourable Baronet, and at once state that he had not the slightest interest whatever in any indivi dual who might hereafter be proposed as the manager of this railway, nor did he hold any stake in any other concern that was likely to bias his judgment in dealing with the affairs of this line. Mr. PRANCE made a similar avowal, adding, how ever, that he saw no objection to the principle of appointing a managing director, since it had been successfully adopted in the Brighton, the South- Eastern, the Edinburgh and Glasgow, and other lines ; but he was at a loss to understand what this could have to do with the election of dele gates, inasmuch as their duty would be only to select directors. The task of deciding whether there should be one or three managing directors, and who they should be, would rest entirely with the new board. The CHAIRMAN took some discredit to himself for not Laving stopped this discussion before. It was hardly fair to allude to a gentleman who was not present, or make use of an anonymous communica tion in a local paper against any one. Sir JOHN EASTHOPE said, so far from its being anonymous, the communication he referred to ap peared in the form of a leader, evidently with the avowed sanction of the editor, and unless Mr. Love took some notice of it in the shape of a prosecution for libel his character would remain unvindicated. The names were then put to the vote, and Sir John Easthope and Mr. Aldermun Sidney were declared duly elected, and supplied with written authorities to act as the delegates of the meeting. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the proceedings terminated. TESTIMONIAL TO THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES.

The great attraction of the evening was Madame Sontag. The rapidity with which she rose to the highest fame in her particular style of singing when she appeared here in 1828, the romance of reality she has gone through since, and the knowledge that she still possesses the fresh full-toned musical voice of her younger days, all contributed to excite a great desire to hear this accomplished musician. No one present last night, we are sure, was disappointed of any of the hopes he had entertained. Time prevents us giving more than a very few brief notes of the earlier part of an entertainment such as we believe Glasgow never witnessed before, when we take into view the acknowledged excellence of three of the individuals who took the lead,—we mean Sontag, Lablache, and Thalberg. Of Thalberg's performances on the piano it is pre sumptuous for any one who is not a thorough-bred musician to speak much, except to give expression to that feeling of delight which accompanies, or is elicited by the exhibition of great powers of expression, in whatever mode displayed. In this and in brilliancy and rapidity of execution, Thalberg is, at this day, we understand, unrivalled among pianists. His two ap pearances were very splendid. Passing hurriedly to the two stars of the evening, we may mention that Belletti is one of the finest bassos that has appeared in Glasgow ; and Calzolari and F. Lablache of themselves would have made any concert go off well. We come to Lablache. He first gave one of his great pieces, " Non piu Andrei," which one cannot hear often enough. His magnifi cent voice filled and more than filled the hall, large as it is, and years do not seem to abate a jot of his fire. The trio from ,William Tell, in which he appeared with Calzolari and I3elletti, was very finely given. His duet'with Sontag, from Don Pasquale, where the old. Don discovers he hzts married a lady who has a will of:fier own, was performed in first rate style, and very much applauded. ,!dadame Sontag commenced with " 0 luce di quest' anima," and at once established her claim to the repo. tation which has gone before her. She unites the greatest power of execution over a voice rick and melodious, with a degree of winning grace and appa rent artlessness which is very charming indeed. In the union of these her great power seems to lie, not in the expression of deep passion. She was received in all her parts with great applause, and when called for an encore in one of her songs, charmed the audience with " Home, sweet home." It was curious to notice how much more enthusiastically the applause was given to this song than to those sung in a foreign language. The admirable arrangements of Messrs. J. M. Wood and Co. deserve notice, as they contributed so much to the pleasure of the audience.—Glasgow Paper. CO URT CIRCULAR.

ALARMING FIRE.—BRISTOL, — FRIDAY NIGHT."... TEE VALUABLE MACHINERY OF THE GREAT WESTERN COTTON-WORKS DESTROYED.—About six o'clock this evening a tremenduous fire broke out in the engine department of these extensive works, and spread with such rapidity that in less than an hour upwards of 2,0001. worth of property was destroyed. The fire-engines belonging to the various offices were speedily on the spot, and stopped the further progress of the flames, but the valuable machinery and a large quantity of raw cotton have been entirely destroyed. The accident will be the means of throwing upwards of 1,700 hands out of employment. How the fire originated no reason has as yet been assigned. Great praise is the to the firemen, and also to the police force, who exerted themselves most strenuously to put out the fire. Fortunately the building is composed of fire-proof materiels, or the loss must have been considerably greater. t( p a 3 Rig ieir De the tU.s-
