FRANCE. The Siecle says :—" The speech of M. de Monta lembert contains an assertion against M. Mamiani, which we think it useful to correct. •It was the chief of the constitutional party of those days, Ma miani,' said M. de Montalembert, who constituted himself the successor of the assassinated Minister, and the gaoler of the Pope.' Now it is notorious that when the affair of 16th Nov. took place M. Mamiani was at Genoa. His name was, it is true, put down in the list of persons which the people drew up, to form part of the Ministry ; but M. Mamiani only arrived at Rome on the eve of the departure of Pius IX. for Gaeta. That gentleman only accepted the Ministry, when he saw the country exposed to remain without a Government, and on seeing an autograph letter of the Sovereign Pontiff, who, at the moment of leaving Rome, confirmed the Ministers in their charges, and recommended to them to maintain public tranquillity and order. Mamiani did not therefore constitute himself the successor of the late M. Rossi,' and still less the gaoler of the Pope." THE MURDER OF COUNT LOUIS BATTIIYANY. The Debats publishes the following extract from a protest of Count T, leki, ex-Envoy of ® Hungarian Government, against the execution of Count Batthyany : " This condemnation without proofs, this decision with out tribunal, this sentence without law, this execution of the 6th of Oct., the anniversary of the murder of Count Latour, this measure adopted now that Hungary is crashed, and which would not have been dared when Hungary was unconquered; this measure which has been taken after having spared those who had prolonged their resistance to the last extremity—how can it be designated? I leave to the friends of order and of society, among all parties, whether Conservatives or Radicals, the task of finding a name for it. I have fulfilled my task, I have done it with calmness while serpents were gnawing my heart ; I hare only had to analyse one sentence of death. There is no occasion for me so speak of Batthyany, he is suffi ciently well known ; he bore an illustrious name ; his was a noble nature ; he was always noble and generous. He rose to the sublime at the important hour. Heroic martyr of a great and noble cause, you have rendered up your soul to God, but the remembrance of you will dwell eternally in our hearts; it will there live until the last sigh of the last Maygar." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, OCT. 18.—The Wiener Zeitung of this day publishes a letter from the Emperor Nicholas to Baron Gulai, thanking him for the notification re ceived from him, which announces that the imperial regiment of Cuirassiers shall henceforth bear the name of the Czar. It is not probable that Baron Haynau will return to his post, as he is to replace Baron Welden as military governor of Styria. The Bohemian Journal says that Baron Haynau has left for Gratz, after tendering his resignation to his Mij,!sty, who, however, refused to accept it. It is whispered that General Haynau, a man of deter mined resolution, when spoken to by the Ministry relating to the numerous executions that had taken place in Hungary, replied, " That his Majesty had in vested him with full powers ; that his resolution once taken could not be shaken, and that if an attempt were made to do so, he would at once resign his post of General in command, and even quit the army." The Mince Zietung contains the statement of the Minister of Finance relative to the voluntary loan, which already amounts to seventy-one millions. ITALY. The Piedniontese Gazette of the 18th publishes two royal decrees, one reducing the royal household, and the other regulating the number and rank of superior officers to be maintained during peace. The same journal states from Rome, 13th inst., that the French troops have evacuated the palace of the University, where they had been quartered for some time. M. Mercier wad, expected back in the course of the follow ing week. 18,000 Neapolitans had arrived at An trodoco, where 14,000 more were expected. General Zucchi had resigned his grade as Lieutenant-General in the Roman army, on the ground that he had en gaged to serve a constitutional Prince, and not an absolute Government. The Legge of Turin, of the 18th, contradicts the statement that Monsignor Cagnazzi had been arrested at Naples, and announces that he has escaped to Civita-Vecchia, in company with the ex-Deputy de Mais, Canon, Abignetti, Rosario Guira, and R. Sava resse. TILE DEATHS OF THE MEXICAN GENERALS PARADES AND URREA. We have noticed the death of General Parades, the former President of the Republic of Mexico, and a few days since the death of General Urrea, the famous guerilla chieftain, near Durango. Of the former we give below a biographical sketch; of the latter little is known, except of his movements on the Rio Grande, as a guerilla leader in the late war between the United States and Mexico. These two officers became famous in the late war with the United States. Mariano Parades, though one of the oldest soldiers of his country, and baying been a parcipitant in all the, important events since the days of Iturbide, was almost unknown in the history of Mexico until the revolution of 1840, when the overthrow of Bustamente took place. Ile was of the number in whom Bustamente placed the utmost reliance, but was amongst those who first pronounced against him, and was one of the leading spirits of the revolution. General Valencia, in his proclamation of August, 1841, referred to him in connexion with Santa Anna and Cortazar, as having planned the whole affair. General Parades at that time was in command at Quere taro, and Bustamente marched against him, but was obliged to desist, in consequence of the reception of intelligence that Santa Anna was moving to the capital, from the direction of Jalapa and Vera Cruz. Being very influential in the movement, and the people of Aguas Calientes, Jalisco, Queretaro, and Zacatecas being in his favour, together with several other mineral districts, the wealth of whose possessions could only be turned to advan tage by the introduction of foreign capital, he sought a repeal of those laws which prohibited foreigners from possessing real estate and a toleration of reli gion. He opposed the revolt of Gornez Farias with all his power ; but when called upon to assume the executice office, positively refused, and favoured the elevation of Santa Anna. It is supposed that he took this ground from the fact, that if made President he would be liable at any time to be driven into exile ; while, if in command of a large military force, he would be able to exert a strong influence, and thrreby remain in safety. The revolution ceased on the 7th of October, leaving Santa Anna dictator. Parades was then proposed as Minister of War and Marine, but that he also declined, knowing that the intention was to separate him from the command of his division. • In 1841, Santa Anna was declared and installed President of the Republic, but before the end of the year he was deposed, and Herrera, the present Presi dent of the Republic, took his place. It was Hwr rera who, seeing the probability of the annexation of Texas to the United States, prepared to submit to it, and endeavoured to bring the Mexicans to his own opinions. The Hon. John Slidell was then the American Minister to Mexico. Parades opposed the movement, and with 25,000 men at his command, defeated Santa Anna, who had but 6,000 men. Santa Anna was banished. After this, Herrera did not long keep possession of the presidency. Parades pronounced against him, and with the aid of Arista, deposed him. The charge he brought against Herrera was, that he sought, by treat ing with the United States, a dismemberment of the Mexican confederacy. The troops at San Luis and Monterey advanced to the city of Mexico, when the forces of Herrera surrendered, and gave adhesion to Parades. On the 12th of June, 1845, Parades was installed Prescient, and on the following day obtained permis sion to take command of the army, leaving the admi nistration of the Government in the hands of Vice- Pre.ident Bravo. When the war broke out with the United States in May, 1846, Parades was at the head of affairs. But when Santa Anna was allowed to return to Mexico, in August, 1846, Bravo assumed the title of Provisional President. General Salas very soon seized Parades, and confined him in the citadel of Mexico, where be remained until the latter part of September, when he escaped, and sought re fuge at Havana. He afterwards went to Europe, and Bought to place at the head of the Mexican Govern ment a Spanish or French prince • but in this he was defeated, and forced to seek protection among the crowned heads of Europe, for whom he wished to sacrifice the independence of his country. He re turned to Mexico -o,weh of ere he indulged in inebriation n until taken tothe hospitals in the city of Mexico, where he died, a perfect sot. Urrea, whose death we the have Rio also chronicled, was the famed guerilla chief ofGrande. lie was who k n own as the head of an army chance and c killed all Americans who by fell into his power. He constantly harassed the American army on its march toward s S altillo. 110 died near Y Du rango, a short time since , of cholera.— Commercial Eno , uirer. DEATH OF ADMIRAL EXAIOUTII'S SECRETARY.— We regret to notice the death of Edward Hawke who served in the capacity of Secretary to Lord Exmouth until his Lordship resigned the corn mlrid, and was afterwards Secr etar y and Comm i ss ioner of Greenwifth Hospital until compelled, by ill hea lth, to retire, in 1844. Mr. Locker was we ll known in the liiermy world as a writer of many biographical sketches, as a z , aleus projector of public improvements, and as a contributor to the " Plain Englishman , a little maga zine established by Mr. Charles Knight, for the instruc tion and amusement of the people. Mr. Locker was, more over, the originator of the naval gallery at Green wich Hospital, and collected the majority of the pictures by his own exertions, desiring to preserve some memo rial of those heroes who have fought the battles and gained the victories of Britain. Mr. Locker died at Iver, Backs, on the 11th instant, in his 73d year.—Bristol Journal. THE SUN, PRICES OF SHARES EN BANKS, ASSU RA NCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK. From the Official List.

The elegant and fashionable assembly which col lected at the Royal Subscription Rooms, Exeter, on Thursday evening, will not speedily forget the more than Circean enchantment with which they were spell-bound in listening to the exquisite warble of the prima donna who has snatched the opportunity afforded by the recess in the operatic season in the metropolis to visit the provinces of the west of England. The distinguished cantatrice (Sontag) proved herself to be indeed the queen of song. In Donizetti's " 0 Luce di quest," she was most rap turously encored, nor was it to be wondered at; her sotto voce was magnificent, and equalled only by Jenny Lind, and the ease with which she executed the most difficult passages was surprising and effec tive. Mdme. Sontag sang in Italian, French, and English, and she again showed a perfect mastery of whatever she attempted, whether it was the har monious, the bravura, or sentimental. It was delightful to hear an accomplished prima donna take up a simple ballad of Sir Henry Bishop's, " Home ! sweet Home !" and give it all that expression and feeling so appropriate to its simple and touching language, whilst she had the pleasing faculty of preserving the melody so pure and distinct, as not to allow the flourishes to destroy the charm and beauty of the original composition. Her per formance elicited the most enthusiastic applause and repeated encores. At the concert at Plymouth on the preceding day, at which Madame Sontag ap peared, she was received with the g reatest enthu siasm, and the expression of hope was general that she would again visit that town. The remain ing personages in the cast well supported the position of the prima donna. Belletti has a bass voice of great compass and richness. Collett' is a fine tenor, and sings with much energy and effect. F. Lablache was excellent, as usual, and strongly reminded the audi ence of his father, by the admirable humour in which be sang, with Belletti, Rossini's duo buffo, " D'un bel uso di Turchio." It was rendered with the true spirit and character of the music. M. Thalberg's performances on the pianoforte were in the highest degree extraordinary; and F. Lablache was welcomed with cordial and richly-deserved applause. By the kind permission of Madame Sontag, the inmates of the Blind Institution in Exeter, were admitted gratuitously to the concert. Among the company present were, Lady Rolle, Sir J. Duckworth, Bart., M.P. ; Sir R. Newman, Bart. ; Sir H. F. Davie, Bart., Lord Chetwynd, Mrs. Ather ley, Mrs. Fursdon, Mr. and Mrs. E. Saunders, Rev. Dr. Bull, General Richards, Hon. Mrs. Lane, Mr. and Mrs. Palk (Haldon), Mr. and Mrs. Buller (Downes), Lady Farrington, Dr. Elliot, Hon. and Rev. J. Fortescue, Mr. Miles, Mrs. Earle (Ide), Mr. Garrett, Mr. Connop, Mr. R. Barnes, Rev. Preben dary Johnson, Rev. J. Wrey, Captain Holden, Mr. Pitman, Mr. Kerslake, Mr. J. B.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 23. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) An application was made under the new Act on a petition for adjudication (which is now substituted for a fiat) against a trader who had been in business for four months only. The solicitor for the petitioning creditor called the attention of the Court to the 55th clause, by which the persons therein enumerated are to be deemed traders, liable to become bankrupt, and in which there is no restriction as respects the period of their carry ing on business. The th section, however, enacts that the petition shall be in the form mentioned in the schedule M, supported by affidavits ; and in reference to the form, it will be found to apply only to traders who have resided or carried on business for six months imme diately preceding the date of the petition within the district of the court in which the petition is presented. In the case before the Court the trader had only been in business for four months. The CommissioNEE inquired whether the trader had resided within the district for six months preced ing the petition, and being answered in the affirma tive, he directed the petition to be altered by the in sertion of that fact, and the omission of the statement as to carrying on business. The SOLICITOR stated it was important to know whether his Honour would have adjudicated in case the bankrupt had not resided or carried on business for the six months within the district. The CommissioNEß. refused, however, to give any opinion, saying he would not take upon himself to decide more than he was compelled under the Act. The alteration was accordingly made, without any decision of this important question. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. THE BERMONDSEY IIIURDEL—In the course of yes terday the foreman of the grand jury, accompanied by several of his brother jurors, entered the court and applied to the Recorder to be permitted to avail themselves of the services of the Solicitor to the Trea sury, as they were about to enter upon an investiga tion of this unfortunate case. They conceived that he would facilitate their labours. _ _ _ The RECORDER immediately acquiesced, and in order that the fact should be put upon record, directed that Mr. Hayward, who attended from the office of the Solicitor of the Treasury, should be sworn as a witness, and his name placed on the back of the indictment. Being familiar with the evidence Mr. Hay ward would doubtless be able to marshal it in such a way as to save much time, and yet lead to the fullest inquiry. He must not, however, inter fere with the course of investigation which the grand jury might think proper to pursue. The Foreman thanked his Lordship, and withdrew with Mr. Hayward. _ . The trial Of the accused is expected to commence on Thursday, and not to terminate before Saturday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKEIVWELL. On Monday William Jarvis, a respectably dressed man, 69 years of age, holding the office of inspector of nuisances, &c., for the parish of St. Pancras, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged by Jane Williamson Collins, a girl between eighteen and nineteen years of age, with having violated her person. The prosecutrix, who was much excited, said that her parents were in respectable business in the country. They had sent her to London, where she had been in the service of a Mrs. Anderson, of Judd street, Brunswick-square, whom she had served for upwards of twelve months, and left with a good character. She was then living under the protection of Mrs. Kidner, her godmother, of No. 17, Bruns wick-grove, Camden-town. On Thursday morning last, between ten and eleven o'clock, she was at her godmother's house, when the prisoner came there, in order, as he said, to examine the sewers, which were out of repair. He inquired of witness whether she had a situation. She said she had not. He then said that his housekeeper was very ill in the hospital, and he required some one to take care of his place; and would she (witness) undertake the situation, and come that evening ? She told him she would consult with her godmother, and he left the place. She informed her godmother, who said she had better not go that evening, and on the following day her godmother's landlord was spoken to on the subject, and was asked if he knew the pri soner to be a respectable man. The landlord said he had no doubt as to his respectability, or he would not have been appointed to a responsible situation in the parish. ww ea tsitv e a rty The prisoner called again and asked why she did not come on the night before. She replied that she would come th a t even ing at six o'clock.

SA viollit, SOUTIIWAIIII.—A meeting of the churchwardens, overseers of the poor, and other inhabitants of the parish of St. Saviour, Southwark, was held on Monday evening, " to take into consideration an order just issued by the Board of Health, and served upon the wardens, with re spect to future interments in the ' Cross-bones ' burial ground, and to determine thereon." The chair was taken by Mr. Thomas Bailey, the warden of the Great Account, who said, if they obeyed the order of the Board of Health strictly, the Cross bones burial-ground must be altogether closed, although a great deal of maiden ground bad been found there. The poor of the district would be deprived of ground in which to bury their dead, in the manner their means would enable them; the cos: of burials, with lime, &c., would be enormous, per haps 30s, in each case, which must be defrayed out of the poor-rates. Mr. imbleton moved that the order of Mr. Thpwooairtoe; the the Board of Health (which has already been published) be co • mplted with . Mr. Clarke seconded the motion. Paik or some othe r that a contract for the interment of the a r rishahould be made with the Victoria had made contracts forcem e t e ry f a u n n ra l company . a with ce m e t O t her parishes companies great funerals had been in at the rate of 7a. each, variably conducted with conversation, Mr. Embl e t on withdrew decorum.his After some motion, and a reso lution to the following effect was ado p ted: "That ted: Cross -bo nes the wardens be empowered to coin Board of Health on the subject of t he a with the b u rial ground, in order to obtain a consent to a ° v s a a rDti n on es of their order to allow the use of the maiden eart ha in that ground for burials un:il some legislative measure is passed for stopping intramural interments, and providing the necessary burial ground." To do good for evil is the perfection of conduct.— Eliza Cook's Journal. . %, • VVEDN'ESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1849. each room. At half-past nine o'clock she sat down and ate supper with the prisoner, She asked him which room she was to sleep in ? He replied, "In the front room," and said, " there is a turn-up bedstead for you ;" and told her not to lock the door of her; bedroom, as she would be perfectly safe. She, however, did lock the door prior to going to bed. On the following morning she got up early and dressed herself, when she heard somebody at her bedroom-door, which was shaken violently, when she heard the prisoner exclaim, " You d—d suspicious b—h, why did you lock the door Get up and prepare breakfast." She opened the door and got breakfast ready. Mr. TYRWRITT—In spite of what he said to you ? Witness—Yes, sir. He told her to go and order some coke, and fetch a pail of water, and during her absence the prisoner placed and arranged several articles on the table, and when the man brought the coke the prisoner told him that she 'had intended to rob him of the articles on the table, and he persisted in saying that he had found one of his blankets wrapped round her person under her clothes. Mr. TYRWRITT—What were the articles he charged you with attempting to rob him of ? Witness—Two old spoons, two rusty knives, a little tobacco, some sugar, and the blanket. He threatened to send for an officer, and to give her into custody, which frightened her very much. When the man had left the house the prisoner seized her by the shoulders, and with violence forced her into his bedroom. She screamed loudly, and resisted him as well as she could, but she became quite faint and helpless, and the prisoner effected his purpose. She added, that she left the prisoner's place, and proceeded to her god mother's house, and communicated all and everything that had taken place to her, and she (the godmother) called on the prisoner in Hamilton-street, and on Saturday gave him into custody. By Mr. TYRwHITT—I pushed him from me when he seized me. I became insensible. The prisoner said, " You need not be afraid ; I'll not send a policeman after you." I put on my bonnet to leave, and be asked me if I would call and see him on the following night. I swear positively that I never en tertained the least idea or intention to rob the prisoner, and that it is a false charge against me. When leaving the house all I had in my bag was my comb and brush and my nightgown. Prisoner—Did I not feel under your clothes for the blanket? Was not that the reason I felt under your clothes ? Witness—You placed the blanket on the table. I never had it. that he would bring her back in an hour, and also, that Mrs. Sanders had been locked up in his house by Mr. Pershenco, contrary to her will. The other was the complainant's barmaid, who also swore that the prisoner was detainel contrary to her wishes, and she, in consequence, gave her, through a skylight over door, a key that released her. Mr. ELLIOTT here recalled the complainant, who swore positively that the sovereigns had been taken out of the drawer by the prisoner, upon which Mr. Elliott remarked that, without offering any opinion whatever on the case he should send it before a jury, but should take bail, in 401. each, for her appearance at the sessions. The solicitor asked if the bail of the hus band, who was then present, and who was a man of large property, would be taken ? Mr. ELLIOTT replied that he should hare no ob jection to take the husband's bail. A new piece of evidence presented itself. The complainant had, according to the evidence of two witnesses, stated when giving the charge, that the four sovereigns were the moneys that had been re ceived in the business after Mrs. Sanders had left, whereas, by the book, in which all the moneys re ceived were entered, not more than half that sum could have been so. The complainant denied having made use of such an assertion, but The MAGISTRATE was of opinion he did, and thought that it would be useless to send such a case for trial. There was no chance, he thought, of a conviction, and therefore Mr. Elliott discharged the prisoner. _ The complainant seemed very much mortified at the result, and declared he should indict the prisoner at the sessions for the felony. The prisoner, upon being discharged, joined her husband, who had been present during the investiga• tion, and who frequently rose from the solicitor's table and held friendly converse with his wife and her friends. The prisoner questioned her, but she adhered to her evidence, which was not at all shaken. Mrs. Mary Kidner, the godmother, confirmed the prosecutrix's evidence. She told her what had hap pened so as to satisfy her mind that an outrage had been perpetrated. She called upon the prisoner with the prosecutrix, when he threatened to give them both into custody on a charge of robbery. Prisoner—Pray, did not the girl threaten that she would cut her throat after she returned to your house ? Witness—Yes; she was very much excited and frightened at your having threatened to give her into custody on a charge of robbery. The girl bore an excellent character, Mr. IL Davis, surgeon, of No. 14, Clarendon square, gave evidence to prove that violence had been used towards the prosecutrix, and that a rape had been effected. The investigation, which was commenced just before Mr. Tyrwhitt was about to leave the bench, lasted until a late hour. Considerable interest was manifested, and some of the parish officers were present• Mr. TYRWIIITT, under the circumstances, remanded the prisoner until yesterday, for the production of further evidence, and he was conveyed to prison in the police•van. At about three o'clock yesterday afternoon the prisoner was again placed at the bar, when a solicitor appeared for him, and he was again remanded for a week.

Cocoa.—There is much dulness in the market for West India, and the parcels offered at public sale wet e nearly all taken in at barely the former value. Orders for foreign come in slowly, and a desire is evinced to sell at 26s to 28s per cwt; there is also a further increase of supply. TEL —The amount of business concluded in black has been of little moment, and there are sellers upon rather lower terms ; there ;is also a further increase of supply. Congou of low and good common qua lity can be purchased at 8d to 9d, medium kinds 91(1 to Is Id ; good strong blackish leaf and Pekoe flavour is 2d to is 98. In the market for Green there is much dul ness, and large parcels are on offer, whilst prices have still a downward tendency. Pekoe Teas offered at rather lower rates, yet dealers continue to operate with caution. At auction last week 26,000 pkgs of Tea were offered, and the small proportion of only 8,800 found buyers. RlCE.—Today there was less activity in the market for East India Rice, and at auction 2,500 bags duty free went at rather lower rates ; Bengal, mid and good mid white went at Os to 9s 61, ordinary broken 8s 6d, good cargo 7s Gd to 8s ; Madras, mid and good Pearl Barley 7s 68 to Bs, Penang ordinary cargo 7s to 7s 6d, Ceylon good Pearl Barley Bs, Manilla cargo 7s to Bs, and yel lowish white 8s to 9s per cwt.

Leeward Island is held with firmness, and purchases to a fair extent have been made at is Allel to is sd, and fine brown at is 51-d per gallon. Brandy has been dealt in with caution, still there is a large c nisumptien, and export deli veries have again been to a fair extent. We quote Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1848 at 4s 48 to 4s 6d; 1847 ditto at 53 to 5s 2d; 1846 ditto at 5s 108 to 6s; 1846 ditto 6s 48 to es 6d; inferior sorts 2s 10d to 4s 48, and Bordeaux 2s ecl to 2s 88.

For British made Spirits prices remain at 9s 8d; and for Gin at 8s to 8s Gd, for 17 and 22 per cent under proof. INDlGO.—Ordinary and mid qualities of Bengal have been in extensive request at the quarterly sale, and the animation in biddings even increased during the last few days. Former advanced rates are well supported, and rule from last sale to 3d advance, whilst the chief portion passed has been actually sold; good and fine sorts above 4s 6d continue to be dealt in with caution, and in some cases the rates obtained are a shade under July. Madras sold freely at a rise on last sales rates of 3d for good and fine, and at the terms of that period for mid and ord. Kurpah has been in lively demand, and realised an advance ou July rates of 2d to 3d; low sorts have not generally sold above the rates of that time. To-day of 2,250 passed the sale 1,350 were withdrawn, 110 taken in, and 790 sold. Of the total quantity now passed the sale, amounting to 19,033 chts, 8,560 have been withdrawn, and 1,004 taken in; the actual quantity sold, including some parcels previously taken in and re• sold, now amounts to 10,700 chts. The sale will con clude to-morrow. TALLOW.—For Russian on the spot reduced rates have been acceded to, still sales to a fair extent are made by town and country dealers. There are sellers of flee P. Y. C. at 36s 9d to 375. Only small contracts have been concluded for delivery up to the close of the year at 36s 68, and at 37s to 37s Gd for the three first months of 1850.

For public sale 1,800 pkgs of Tallow are declared. Rough Fat 2s Id per stone of 81bs.

At auction 70 tuns were sold, pale at 38/ to 391, straw and tinged 361 to 371 15s, coloured 331 les to 34/10s, brown 31/ to 32/, and boiled Seal 26/ to 281.

PARKS FOR THE PEOPLE.—It is to be hoped. that if Smithfield Market be removed, that the space will be immediately converted into a City green. What was formerly necessary when London was much smallel:, and from its hitherto long form and narrow width, mere healthy in its internal parts than it can be in; future (unless care be taken, whilst there is yet time and oppor tunity), is much more necessary now, and the con sequences will show themselves, if precautions be a ‘glected. One grand benefit to London will be to pre serve an opening into the sides of it, both north and south; and the effects of this will be manifest: it will cause a current of comparatively pure air into the very centre of the metropolis, and also be the means of a pleasant, safe, and short access to open ground, green fields, or walks, parks, or broadways (as may be pro vided), for the benefit of health and morals of thousands of individuals who otherwise must be deprived of one of . the greatest blessings of heaven. O n t h e nort h s id e o f ; London the opening that would be beneficial is frown Holborn to King's-cross, via Gray's-inn-road, by certain improvements and widenings in sundry places, as opp or tunity would permit, with wide and safe footpaths.;— thence to Highgate, or so far as might be obtain able, either in progress thereto, or in extent of space as public ground, terminating at nearer distance from King's-cross. The ground from King's-cross to Highgate, by wry of Maiden-lane and Chalk-road, affords facility for the purposes desired, and t©n acres of ground ob tained hero are more valuable, as a general ser vice to the inhabitants of the middle portion of Lon don, than 100 acres at the extreme ends. The high ground about Copenhagen is an i nva l ua bl e spot for the formation of a reservoir of air, both for the supply of the centre of London and for the access thereto of the inhabitants. If the opportunity be neglected now, when small comparative expense will effect it, the time will come when the most extensive demolition must be effected in order to air London, and give space for its inhabitants; fever and plague will not bo stayed till thousands upon thousands be expended in this manner, and the very spots now uncovered will be then again laid bare for ob-- vious purposes of general need.—Builder. DANISH CATTLE.—It will not be considered d- s" void of interest or importance to remark that i;110 continued importations of horned stock from nen mark, and also from the Ilanseatic port of Bret nen, fully corroborate our recent particular reference to them, on account of their unequalled ex tent and importance. The following large arrivala have simultaneously taken place from Denmark, the pro duce of that European state :—The steam-ship Wilber l 2oree, from Tonningen, has brought 200 head of horned cattle, forming the entire cargo; the Free Trade, from Tonnin gen, 109 oxen and cows ; and the Eider, from the same port, 142 oxen and cows and 77 sheep, the produce Of Denmark ; the Neptune, arrived from Bremen, has brought 179 oxen, in addition to a large general cargo of Ilanseatic produce. These supplies of horned cattle far exceed in number the importations of the kind from any other of the continental, states of Europe. The large arrivals from Denmark during the past two weeks have trebled the ordinary number of horned cattle usually brought from all parts of the con tinent, and their continuance gives an earnest of a con sequent increase in the ordinary supplies from abroad to a very important extent. Green, official assignee is Mr. Commissioner: Goulburn's Court, died on Mond,. y morning last, aft, t a short illness. He was struck with paralysis a fe,sv days ago, and subsequently afflicted with a violent atta elc of diarrhm3, which ended in death. Mr. Green was much esteemed, and is generally regretted. Amongst the functionaries even of Mr. Commissioner Goulbran's court he was conspicuous for his courteous manner's and benevolent disposition. The mortality which Ir A s oc curred in this court is remarkable. Four official as signees, one commissioner (Merivale), and two ushers, have died. One of the official assignees died immediately after his appointment, and before he undertook his duties, and a second (Mr. Gibson) terminated his existence with his own hand. Mr. Commissioner Goulburn's court is now without an official assignee, and it is said that none will be. appointed, but the dut:es distributcd amongst the other eight official assign( es.

LEEDS, OCT. 23.—We had a large arrival of wheat '• day, and a very great number of samples, in addition, have been brought by captains of coin-trading vessels. We had, consequently, a very dull inaiket, and wheat must be called is to 2s per quay.er lower than last Tuesday, and it is difficult to effect sales to any extent at this decline. Barley is is per quarter lower. Beans and oats maintain late prices. LIVERPOOL, OCT 23.—At this day's market there was a good attendance of millers and dealers, but the weather was so wet and gloomy that for some time samples could not be fairly seen. Tho demand fur old wheat was very limited, and prices gave way Id to 2d per bushel; and Irish new was nearly unsaleable, alihough pressed at a greater decline. Some superior Canadian and Ohio flour brought 25s to 253 6d per barrel, notwith standing which the general trade was very dull, and middling qualities and all kinds of Irish were easier to purchase. There was no material change in the value of prime oats or oatmeal, 23 6d to 2s 6fd per 451 b., and 22s per 2401 b. being realised for prime samples of new. Barley, beans, and peas, remained us last quoted; and Indian corn was steady, without much business passing. IPSWICH, OCT. 23. We had a heavy market today for most grain. The !:ales made in wheat were at a decline of is to 2s per quarter. Barley was also i n a heavy state , and prices declined Is to 2s. Oats, beans, and peas dull, but no lower. Dlalt extremely heavy.

Taylor and Bright's circular states:—We have again to report small arrivals of all snicks of grain, and transactions have thereby been more limited than we have lately had to record; at the same time the market fully supports late prices. Tie supply of wheat brought by our farmers to this day's market was mode rate, and the condition not (pita so good as last week. There was only a moderate sale for even first qualities, LAMBETH. Mrs. Sarah Sanders, a well-dressed middle-aged woman, the wife of a retired tradesman, worth, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliot on a charge of stealing four sovereigns, the moneys of Mr. William Pershence. The complainant, a stout man, who described him self as a farmer at Charlton, in Kent, and also as the proprietor of the Duchess of Kent beer-house in Lansdowne-road, Camberwell, deposed that the pri soner, who lived with him for about fifteen months, and had charge of his house in Lansdowne-road, and also the management of the business, absconded on that day week, taking with her property belonging to him of the value of over 1001. From that time until the Friday following he could not learn where she was; but on that day he discovered that she was living with a Mrs. Elliott, the sister of his potman, in Hill-street, Peckham. Mr. ELLIOTT-What is it you mean to charge the prisoner with—stealing the 1001. worth of property, or what ? Prosecutor—My present charge against her is that of stealing four sovereigns last evening. .11Ir. ELLIOTT—WeII, go on with your statement. The prosecutor, in continuation, - said, that on the evening before he went to the house of Mrs. Elliott, and seeing the prisoner there, he begged she would accompany him as far as the house of Mr. Walters, in the Wandsworth-road, where he had some busi ness to transact which he could not well do without her, and she consented. They went together to the house of Mr. Walters, but, not finding that gentleman at home, they were returning to Mrs. Elliott's when the prisoner said she was very sorry for what she bad done ; that she had been persuaded to leave him, but hoped be would take her back to his house. He did so, and after being together for some time the pri soner requested he would lock her into the bedroom they then were in, and not let any person approach her, as she required some rest. He did as requested, and took the key of the bedroom with him ; but soon after visited her, when she appeared to be sleeping soundly. Soon after this Mrs. Elliott came to the house and requested to see the prisoner, but he re fused to allow her unless in his presence, and an in terview took place. In about half an hour after he discovered that the prisoner had escaped from his house, taking with her four sovereigns which were in a drawer in the bedroom. On making this discovery he took a cab and hastened to the house of Mrs. El liott,. and on seeing the prisoner he charged her with robbing him. At this moment, to his (witness's) great surprise, the prisoner's husband made his ap pearance, and Mr.!. Elliott gave witness into custody for making a disturbance. He, however, persisted in giving charge of the prisoner, and after being allowed to remain inside for some minutes the prisoner was taken to the station house, as well as himself, and both charges were taken. A solicitor, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, here rose to cross-examine the complainant, but the latter refuted to answer any questions, on the ground that some time ago he commenced an action against him (complainant) in the name of a person whose existence he could not discover, and he understood at that time that the person's name had been removed from the list cf a ttorneys. Mr. ELLIOTT ruled that, as the name of the solici tor at present appeared in the Law List, he was bound to answer his questions. The complainant then said, that be had in the first instance seen the prisoner at Charlton, but subse quently visited her at a tavern in the Borough as the friend of her husband, who kept the house at the time. Solicitor—Now, sir, on your oath, were you not received by Mr. and Mrs. Sanders as a mutual friend, and did you not carry away Mrs. Sanders from under the roof of her husband ? Mr. Pershence—No, I did not. She left her home through the alleged cruelty of her hushand, and sought my protection, and I afforded it to her. Solicitor—Did you not leave your trunks in the house to enable her to get away her wearing ap parel, and had you not a cab at the end of the street to take her away ? Witness—l deny it. We went to live together in Stamford-street, and at my inter position she went back to her husband twice, and subsequently returned to me of her own accord. While the prisoner lived with me she received 1001. from Mr. Walter, but this she entirely expended on herself in the purchase of jewellery and finery of different descriptions. He (witness) had; been a bankrupt two years ago, but got his certificate on his first asking for it, and had been enabled to get into business by an advance of 500/. from his mother. Is a married man, and his wife is living in the vicinity of his residence at Charlton. Solicitor—On your oath, has not the prisoner pledged valuable articles belonging to her to support you and your house ? Witness—Certainly not. Solicitor—Not a valuable shawl purchased for her by her husband ? Witness—The shawl you speak of I gave twenty-five guineas for myself, and therefore W 3 my property. Solicitor.—Well, a valuable brooch? Witness— That brooch was mine also. I gave sixty guineas for it Solicitor—Have you ever burned a bonnet belong. ing to the prisoner? Witness—l did, but I bought her another. Solicitor—Did you not burn the bonnet to prevent the prisoner from leaving you and going to her friends ? 'Witness—No, I did not do it for that pur pose. In conclusion, the witness swore distinctly that the four sovereigns were safe i❑ the drawer when he left the prisoner in the bedroom. The solicitor addressed the magistrate at some length in reply to the charge, which he said had no foundation in fact, but had been got up from a vin dictive feeling because the unfortunate woman at the bar had been induced, by the advice of her friends, to abandon the complainant and return to her husband and children. Two witnesses were called on the part of the pri soner; one was Mrs. Elliott, who deposed that the complainant, on taking Mrs. Sanders from her home on the evening before, had passed his word of honour NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. A MIDSHIPMAN OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP BEL.. LEROPIION AND NINE OTHERS DROWNED.—Oa the afternoon of the 12th instant, Mr. Kemp, a midship man of her Majesty's ship Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C. 8., lying off Leghorn, was sent ashore in charge of the cutter to bring off some men who were on leave. lie reached the shore, embarked his men, and left to return to his ship. In the meantime, however, the breeze, which was little or nothing on leaving the Bellerophon, had freshened considerably, and it appears the cutter had proceeded one-third of the distance from the shore to the ship, when, in consequence of shipping a great deal of water, kr. Kemp bore up for the purpose of returning to the land, the boat at the same time carry ing a press of sail. More water was shipped in the act of bearing up, which was kept under by baling ; but, unfortunately, the sail having been lowered, and the boat having nothing to force her through the water, she became almost waterlogged, and ship ping water on both sides, she filled, and shortly afterwards turned bottom up. This fatal catastrophe having been seen, both from the Bellerophon and her Majesty's steam-vessel, Porcupine, boats were in stantly lowered from those vessels and dispatched to the assistance of the cutter ; but before they could reach the spot the following poor fellows had disap peared and were drowned : Mr. Kemp, midshipman. Matthew Odgers, coxswain of the cutter. Jeremiah M'Carthy, able seaman. Jones Gray, ditto. William Deaken, landsman. John Winnister, ditto. William Short, first-class boy. James Wheat, private marine. John Rayner, ditto. George Watt, ditto. William Harvey, ditto. John William, ditto. Mr. Kemp, is the son of the late Lieut. Kemp, R.N. Ile was very steady in his duties, was con sidered to be very competent in managing boats, and was altogether a very promising young officer. Rear-Admiral Prescott, superintendent of Ports mouth dockyard, visited the Admiralty yesterday. The Amphion screw-frigate was towed from the west shore in Sheerness harbour into the basin on Monday, to be brought forward for service. The Vulture steam-frigate, at Sheerness, is in the basin taking in coals. Her yards are across, and it is expected she will be sent in a few days to Portsmouth to be put in commission there. The Revenge, 76, is nearly broken up at Sheerness. By the end of this week the dock will be cleared of In-r timbers. The men employed on this work are to have ss. 6d. per ton for the job. It is rumoured at Sheerness that the Wellington, 72, depot ship of the ordinary in that harbour, is to be sent to Queenstown as flag ship for the admiral com manding on that station. A timber laden merchantman arrived at the line on Monday, with military invalids from the Cape colony. They are detachments of the Ri&s, Royal Artillery, the 20th Foot, &c., about 150 in all. The steam-tug African took them out of the ship, and conveyed them to the invalid depot at Chatham. Tns ROYAL YACHTS.—Her Majesty's steam yachts Fairy, Commander Crispin, and the Elfin, Master Commander A. Balliston, arrived in the river last evening from Portsmouth, to be in readiness to attend at the opening of the New Coal Exchange on the 30th. The royal barges to be used in the pro cession have since arrived in the Portsmouth steam tug Echo. The steam•sloop Stromboli, Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, arrived at Portsmouth from the river on Sunday morning, after taking the shore and tiring guns of distress on working in to the anchor age. She sailed on Monday morning for Plymouth, with supernumerary seamen, &c. CHATHAM, OCT. 23.—The Raleigh, 50 guns, Com modore Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., Captain the Hon. G. Hope, from the south-east coast of America (relieved by the Southampton, 50 guns), is ordered to this port to be paid off without any of her bulk heads being disturbed. The Magicienne steam ship, built at Pembroke, is now getting her engines on board, from the engineers, Messrs. Penn, of Greenwich ; when completed, she proceeds to Chatham, to be fitted for commission. A general court-martial assembles on Wednesday, the 24th inst., on board the Ocean, stationary flag ship, at Sheerness, for the trial of Daniel Donovan, a gunner on board the Latona, 42 guns, for drunken ness. He was found drunk on the sth inst. by Lieutenant Carter, and from that day the prisoner has been confined on board the Poictiers; the pri soner has twenty years' service as a gunner in the Royal Navy. WOOLWICH, OCT. 23.—The Firebrand steam frigate, Captain T. 0. Knox, is under orders to leave Woolwich on Thursday for Portsmouth, where she will receive further orders. The Styx steam-sloop had her steam up to-day to try the evaporation of her boilers, and it was found that B,ooolbs of water was evaporated in her boilers in 22 minutes, with the exception of 4lbs. in the midships, and 31hs. in each of the wings. A series of experiments have been commenced, at the west end of the factory department by Mr. Coad, with a boiler having three furnaces, to test his plan of building a brick arch round the sides and roofs of the furnaces. The, bricks are mostly placed endways next the fire, with a space of nearly three inches betwixt each other in the tiers, to create a greater draught, and admit the heat to the boilers. The fires burned remarkably bright, and if bricks can be ob tained that will resist the intense heat to which they will be subjected, the plan will answer very well. The evaporating power, and the quantity of coals and time occupied, will be given when the experiments are completed. IMPRISONMENT FOR CHURCH RATES.—By a recent Act of Parliament (12th Victoria, chap 14) a limit is fixed for the first time to imprisonment for non-payment of church-rates. The ninth section of the statute de clares, " And whereas it is desirable to limit the time within which a person assessed to a church-rate may he imprisoned for non-payment of the same, be it enacted that every person now undergoing any such imprison ment shall be discharged from such imprisonment as soon as he or she shall have been imprisoned for three calendar months, or shall sooner pay the sum or sums with which he or she is charged; and that hereafter no person shall be imprisoned for non-payment of any church-rate for any time exceeding three calendar months." Until this Act was passed persons were kept in custody for indefinite periods. BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.—Yesterday, at a vestry meeting of the ratepayers of Lambeth, held in the vestry-room (the Rev. C. B. Dalton, the Rector, in the chair), a resolution was proposed in favour of the esta blishment of baths and washhouses under the Act 9 and 10 Victoria. The resolution, the adoption of which was forcibly urged on the ground that the poorer inhabit ants in many parts of the parish are in want of the necessary means of cleanliness, and that, therefore, it is the duty of all connected with the locality, by providing those means, to guard as far as possible against the re currence of an epidemic such as that which had recently been so severely felt in Lambeth, was, after a short dis cussion, carried on a show of hands without a dissen tient, amidst loud cheers. MANCUESTER.--STATE OF TRADE, TUESDAY.— The market has not been active to-day for either cloth or yarn, but rates obtained have been fully equal to those of last week where parties have been willing to sell. In general there has been more of a disposition to hold than to enter into contract, unless, indeed, at rates with which buyers are not prepared to comply. Upon the whole the feeling is healthy. The mills are iu fuller work than a short time ago, and if the present rage for cotton speculation could only be suppressed, the manufacturing districts would continue to increase their trade. The prices of cotton quoted yesterday were d. advance since Saturday. Not until he is at the verge of the grave, when he is about to enter into the realm of unknown beings, does man fully feel how much he loves such as are already known to him, who suffer like himself, who die as he dues,—Elixa Cooh'i Journal, BIRTHS, On the 19th inst., at GeddingTon Vicarage, Northampton• shire, the wife of the Rev.
