A farewell banquet of no inconsiderable interest was given on Saturday evening, by the Learned Members of the Oxford Circuit, to the distinguished man recently elevated from the position of their Leader to the most venerable dignity that can be awarded in the legal profession. Very nearly ninety persons assembled together on that occasion, in orde r to evince by their attendance, and also, be sure of that, by their enthusiastic plaudits, their affectionate regard for Mr. Justice TALFOURD and their cordial gratification at the reward of his abilities, the fulfil ment of his destiny, and the realisation of his noble and exalted ambition. No eulogiums, we are satisfied, were ever more heartfelt, as they certainly were never more conspicuously deserved, than those pronounced on the celebrated guest, at once a poet and an orator ; nor were words of panegyric ever more earnestly enforced by the acclamations of a similar body of gentlemen. Although the avowed purpose of the meeting was to proffer this genuine tribute of respect and admiration ; and although the appearance among those present, of such men as lIALLAM, the historian, added lustre to the enter tainment, we shall not cause any surprise by saying that the principal event of the evening was the feeling and eloquent address in which the newly created Judge bade his brethren of the bar farewell. After a career upon the Oxford cir cuit of no less than eight-and-twenty years' duration—a career, too, so brilliant in its promise, and so doubly brilliant in its consequences—it was im possible that a warm heart like that of Judge TAL FOUED should remain unmoved by the prospect of a foul separation, that a generous temperament like his should continue unaffected by the ardour of his old companions, that his susceptible nature and fervid imagination should preserve any degree of impassable and imperturbable stoicism when listening to so many voices, and grasping so many hands of friendly congratulation. His reply to the speech of his eminent successor in the leadership of the circuit, Mr. WHATELEY, Q.C., was perhaps one of the most happy efforts of a speaker invariably felicitous. The graceful and unaffected modesty with which Judge TALFOURD spoke of his own advance ment, as, under DIVINE PROVIDENCE, largely attri butable to the encouragement of those who might be vulgarly regarded as his jealous and captious compe titors ; the gentle reminiscence of his humble origin and youthful obscurity; the genial and exhilarating tenderness with which he called to mind the pleasant scenes, the agreeable memories, and the kindly thoughts blended together in his circuit associations— envelope his speech with a charm which must even prove potent over those who are not honoured with his friendship. 'We know not which to prefer among his different remembrances—that of his maiden speech before the bar at Reading, the place of his nativity, when, according to his own acknowledgment, he rose with trembling and emotion—that of his quiet sojourn among the grey cloisters and monastic edifices of Oxford, when, lodging with some undergraduate, he half fancied himself a student, although the great blessing had never fallen to his lot of an university education—that of his gradual descent into the vale of Evesham where that perfection of an English landscape first greeted his attention that of his passage through the good town of Shrewsbury, and thence by a continuous stream of beauty to old Gloucester ; or that of each scene becoming more and more familiarised, with his perpetually renewing friendships, " until at last every place in the circuit seemed like another feast and another home, reviving scenes of half-remembered pleasures." Prom all this fascinating volubility on the part of Mr. Justice TALFO URD it will not be difficult for his old assoc i ates to re cognise that in assuming to himself the pitiless impartiality, and the other inexorable qualities befitting one in his vene rable position, his heart beats not the less warmly under the judicial ermine • than it did o f yore under the stuff gown of the unknown but aspiring barrister. It is this beneficent combination of the more lofty with the more lowly attributes of intellec lectual greatness and moral goodness which has so peculiarly endeared Judge TALFOURD to those who have been fortu n at e enough to be thrown into his company; it is because the kindly eyes of a true and genuine nature have beamed under the shadow of his bay leaves, that his literary achievements have pro voked so little jealousy in opposition ; it is because the suavity of a generous disposition and the sincerity of a gentle deportment have been perceptible through all, even the most impassioned of his forensic altercations, that his removal from the leadership of his circuit is so truly and deeply regretted even while the members of the bar of that circuit are felicitating, themselves upon his recent and well-merited elevation. Revert ing to the long period of his labours over the Oxford circuit, extending, as we have already intimated, over no less than eight-and•twenty years, Mr. Justice TALFOURD on Saturday remarked that that long vista was to him " eloquent with thought and feeling and friendship." How much of that thought, that feel ing, and that friendship owe their efflorescence to the genial glow of his mind, heart, and genius it needs not us to particularise ; but the knowledge that a nature like his is not only fruitful in itself, but capable of exercising a fruetifying influence over others, must be some consolation to him now that he is compelled to witness the diversion of old thoughts, the rupture of old feelings, and the severance of old friendships. Though sundered from his accustomed companions, his spirit is still present, his name is still cherished, and his memory will long survive amongst the memhers of that circuit in which Judge TAD. FOURD acquired such affectionate sentiments of attachment, and built up so brilliant and enviable a reputation. The late accounts from Rome plainly discover the arriere pensee of M. DE F ALLOU X and his coadjutors in dispatching a French army to Rome. Their in tention was, that having restored the POPE, that army should on its return to France become a nucleus for the formation of a new army of the Faith, to stir up civil war in France, for the restoration of the elder branch of the BOURBONS, and of the parti-preire, and to this end we find that no means are left untried by the Triumvirate of Cardinals, acting in this respect under the inspiration of the Abbe. DB FALLOU X, who has recently been appointed by the POPE to an office of trust, dignity, and emolument, to shake the allegiance of the army to the Republic, and to accustom them to Legitimatist ceremonies and to Legitimatist emblems. As a proof of the means employed by these Cardinals to debauch the 1 French troops, and of the gratitude which they feel to the PRESIDENT of the French Republic for having restored them to power, we may mention the following incident. On the 2d of November a grand religious ceremony was celebrated at the Church of St. Louis, at Rome, in honour of the soldiers of the French Republic who had fallen during the siege. At this ceremony, all the French troops were required to be present, and the catafalque of the dead, placed in the centre of the church, was not unornamented, as republican simplicity would seem to require, it was not adorned with republican emblems as it should have been, had it been considered that the solemnity of the occasion required some ornament, but on the four corners of this catafalque placed in the centre of the church in honour of the soldiers of the French Republic were engraved four enormous fleurs de Lys. It might have been thought that the humiliating position assumed by - M. ODILON BARROT in the debate on the Roman ques tion, and which justly occasioned his dismissal from office by the PRESIDENT, would have been considered by the park-pretre as a sufficient atonement for his former peccadilloes ; but no ! the clerical Camarilla are outrageous against him for having ventured to hint that the motu proprio was not all that might be expected from the Porn. In the meantime the Porn himself seems to be the mere puppet of ANTON ELLI and his Camarilla, as indeed he has been ever since that night in November, 1148, when the Bavarian Am bassador spirited him off to Gaeta, where, if report speaks true, he was retained in complete captivity, King Bomze. acting as gaoler. The poor weak minded man has been recently wandering between Benevento and Portici, now promising to return immediately to Rome, again declaring that he will not return until the French have left the city; at one moment proposing to place him self under the guardianship of the Swiss regiments, at another blessing CORDOTA and the Spaniards, and beseeching them to remain for his protection. The last accounts represent him as having announced his intention of re-entering Rome on the 28th instant; but such is the vacillation and indecision of his character that no dependence can be placed upon him, and, as he has returned to ' Portici, the probability is that he may remain there for the winter. In the meantime the priests are carrying matters with a high hand at Rome. Dr. ACHILLI is still incarcerated in the dungeons of the Inquisition, and the Cardinals now openly avow that the crime of which he is accused is that he, a Catholic priest, abjured Romanism and embraced and preached Protestantism, and we observe that the Catholic cor respondent of a morning Contemporary offers a q'uaai justification of the conduct of the Cardinals, although, if the Rev. Mr. NEWMAN, a Church of England priest, who recently abjured Protestantism and ern , braced and preaches Romanism, were to be impri soned by the authorities in this country for so doing, that writer would, no doubt, join in the outcry that would be set up on the occasion. The French soldiers are in general disgusted by the constant attendance which they are called on to give at the ceremonies of the Romish Church, and by their long absence from their native land, to which they will return with a bitter remembrance of the insults that have been heaped upon them by the sacerdotal tyrants, whose sway they have assisted in restoring in Rome, and with an ardent desire of avenging them on those who would subject the fair land of France to a similar debasing rule. Every thing seems to indicate that the French army will be recalled from Rome at no distant day, and when that day shall arrive the Romans will, no doubt, give an excellent account of their sacerdotal oppressors. Should the French army remain in the Eternal City much longer, they will be compelled by circumstances to interfere to protect the Roman people against those priestly misgovernors who at present plunder, im prison, and murder them with impunity. • .40;7, • • w io • V44.' •••-• Wrr i fr'. ) ;lL * 111111111 i , ,..

We have received advices from the Cape down to the 21st of September, from which we learn that the Neptune had arrived at Simon's Bay with 282 con victs oa board. The following account of her arrival is extracted from the Cape of Good Hope Shipping and Mercantile Gazette : " The Neptune (which left Bermuda on April the 22d, and Pernambuco on August 11th) arrived in Simon's Bay about six P.M. on Wednesday last, with 282 convicts on board, seven having died at sea. At nine her arrival was known at Cape Town, and at half-past twelve the same night the members of the Anti-Convict Committee of Vigilance proceeded to Simon's Bay, to take such immediate precautions as the case might require. Early the next morning the alarm was given by the sounding of the gong at the Town-hall, and the tolling of bells in the churches. Though great excitement prevailed the general feeling was evidently ono of relief and satisfaction, No difference of opinion appeared to exist as to the necessity of employing instant and decisive measures to put an end to the suspense and anxiety which have now prevailed for nearly three months, and have been—as was justly remarked by a member of the association—' disorganising everything,' government, society, and business of every kind. " About eleven o'clock a letter was sent to his Excel lency by the Municipal Board of Cape Town, stating in plain terms that, as ' the people have determined that the convicts must not, cannot, and shall not be landed, or be kept in any of the ports of this colony,' the Board trusted his Excellency, in accordance with his often expressed desire to promote the well-being of the colo nists, would order the Neptune, after victualling, to leave our shores, and declaring that his Excellency would be responsible for any consequences that might arise from his refusal to accede to this request. " At half-past twelve a reply was received, informing the Board that his Excellency would adhere to the de termination which he had previously announced, not to relieve the surgeon-superintendent. The ship would, therefore, ride at anchor in Simon's Bay until advices were received from the Home Government, which would probably be within a month or six weeks. His Excel lency concluded by regretting the tone of the Board's letter, which the prevailing excitement might excuse, but could not justify. " The reading of the letter was followed by groans and other expressions of disapprobation. No further proceedings were immediately taken, as it was considered advisable to wait for the report of the committee at Simon's Bay. The excitement throughout the town continued to increase. Many mercantile establishments were closed, and business was generally suspended. " It is expected that a meeting will take place to-day, after the receipt of intelligence from Simun's Bay, when final resolutions will be adopted, and rigidly carried into effect. The perfect union and fixed determination which exist eave no do u bt t h at the gal mea ich will be adopt e d w ill b e crowne d w i t h com plete v success." 1 EXRCUTION Or THE M :—We were indobted, at five o'clock on Tuestag isi e l r s to Mr. Hayward, news agent, for an express edition of The Sun, contain ing a long report of the execution these criminals.— Bristol Mercury. Self-respect is the key to, and generator of, a more elevated tone of sentiment; and where this is not lost, efforts will still be made to preserve it.—Eliza Cook's Journal. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The Moniteur publishes a decree nominating General DE LAIIITE Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the place of M. DE RAYREVAL ; and another by which M. DARCY, Prefect of the Rhone, is nomi nated Under-Secretary of State for the Department of the Interior. _ The members of the parti•pretre, not daring to quarrel openly with the PRESIDENT of the Republic, have adopted a paltry and therefore most charac teristic plan of manifesting their spite ; they have refused to vote any allowance for furnishing the palace of the Vice-President of the Republic, M. BOULAY DE LA AIEURTHE, who is the personal friend of the President. The Preece thus appreciates the situation : " It is now beyond a doubt, that whatever the new Ministry may do, in spite of its words and in spite of its acts, in spite of the proclamation of M. Curlier, in spite of the transportation law, and in spite of the re-estab iiihment of the duty on potable liquors, the majority will neither forget nor forgive the message. The divorce is henceforth accomplished. The message is the official act of that divorce. It will be in vain to attempt to bring them together. These reconciliations will not be sincere. The two powers are in opposition, and neither of them will yield." And, looking upon it in this light, the Presse adds : " What do we see? A majority, humiliated and of fended, revenging its impotency by little acts of rancour, instead of displaying force and dignity. This majority puts on the appearance, but it has not the virtue of re signation, It bows its head to insult; but watches for an opportunity to annoy. It sulks; it decides that it w ill attend no more public ceremonies; it reduces credits which involve the dignity of the executive, but it dares not attack M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte in a direct way; it strikes him on the shoulders of M. Boulay ode la Meurthe)—the most inoffensive of men. We could have understood the majority causing its prerogative and its dignity to be respected; we could have comprehended its not remaining under the blow of the message. But, if it wished to enter upon the conflict, it should have been openly and resolutely. It should have been commenced on some great question, some serious interest, in order to arrive at a solution in the triumph of one of the powers, and not in the humiliation of both." The breach between the PRESIDENT and the parti pretre is becoming every day wider. The Evenement says— " There was much talk in the lobbies of the Assembly yesterday of the formation of a new club of represen tatives, which would hold its sittings at the Pedals des Beaux Arts. It will, it is said, be composed exclusively of the Members devoted to the Elysee, and in opposition to those who hold their sittings at the Conseil d'Etat. The principal members of the majority, and particularly , MM. Thiers, Berryer, do Broglie, and do Remusat, re garded this organization as an act of hostility directed against them, and the irritation which had been before remarked on certain benches of the Assembly appeared to revive more warmly than ever. The following is the constitution of the bureau of this new club:—Presi dent, General do Grammont; Vice-Presidents, MM. Deviate sad Abatucci; Secretaries, MM. Gavini and de Csulaincourt. The first meeting took place on Thurs day, when forty members were present, among whom were MM. Quentin Bauchard, Gaslonde, General Tartas, Antoine and Lucien Bonaparte, Laborde, Vaudrey, Per signy, General Rapatel, d'Ornano, Abatucci, de Cassa- Lianca, Cordier, &c. The Assembl ee Nationale acknowledges the reality of the split. It says— " We have to state with profound sorrow, that attempts are making to divide the majority. The union of the Assembly formed the most firm rampart against revo lutionary attempts; by paralysing its force all power is weakened, and all interests are compromised." It is said that M. THIERS has ceased to have any connexion with the Conititutionnel, which has throughout supported the new Cabinet, and that he has transferred his services to the Order. The fol lowing article, said to be from his pen, which appears in that journal, may be considered as a declaration of war by the Orleanist faction, against the PRESIDENT of the Republic : " In proclaiming itself, without embarrassment, with out reservation. and without compromise, the champion of the personal policy of the President of the Republic; in accepting beforehand, whatever they may be, the re sults, at least uncertain, of the policy inaugurated by the message; in thus approving of what it has so much opposed, in manifesting its disdain for what it has so much praised, the Constitutiongel has given all possible Eclat to its rupture with the men whose patronage and co-operation have not hitherto been useless to its pro sperity. If it is an act of conscience which it per forms, a painful sacrifice which it makes to its new convictions, we have neither a right nor desire to blame it. Let that journal be permitted to think that, under a Republican Constitution, and in the perilous situation in which France is placed, the Par liamentary power, deprived of unity and initiative, must humble itself before the exclusive direction of the President; let it believe that the idea of M. Louis Bona parte, restrained too long by the scruples and tho resist ance of his old Ministers, or by itio pressure of the Assembly, is about to suddenly develop itself with so much the more grandeur, as the execution of his designs will be confided to men f less influence and less renown. Its persuasion is so entire and so lively, that it knows not how to accommodate itself to the temporisation of those who wait. It believes, it knows, it admires, it renders itself the guarantee not only of intentions which are very simple, but of results. In such a state of mind, it would certainly be guilty to hesitate, and we should reproach ourselves were we to cause it to hesitate in that faith, which is able to remove mountains. Let it then undividedly devote itself to that agreeable and easy task of glorifying the marvels which now dazzle us. May fortune, in none of its sudden changes, disturb its dreams! May Heaven spare it all regrets and decep tion ! For we, who do not call to mind without some alarm the sad fall of princes, even the strongest or the most skilful, who have sought to place their personal will above all control; we, whom history teaches that deliberative assemblies, in spite of the faults inherent to their nature, would have almost always preserved the Government and the country it• self from the misfortune which have fallen on them— if their voice had been more listened to, if their independence had been sheltered from attempts at corruption, and their action had been free from restraint—we cannot encourage the President to rush with blind impetuosity on the dangers which it is diffi cult not to foresee. He has exercised a right,' wo are told, and you, yourselves, have admited it.' Yes, but he has perhaps used it rashly. His absolute right also, in virtue of his responsibility, would be to take a Minis try from without the majority. He has been advised to do so ; some pretend, but we hope erroneously, that he had entertained the idea of doing it ; if he had done so without the most imperious necessity of duty for him, and of safety for the country, will the Constitutionnel say that he would have acted wisely ? He has resisted that dangerous temptation, and while hurling a manifest defiance to the majority has selected his new Ministers from its body. He has preferred to be inconsistent rather than provoke an inevitable struggle. We have already congratulated him on it. This proof of mode ration, joined to the souvenirs of the ten months which were Li from causing it to be foreseen, encourages us not to despair for the future. But we cannot be, like the Coutitutionnel, completely satisfied and assured. If we are asked where we see the danger, we still reply that the President of the Republic, at the same time that he has broken the strongest bond which united him to the Legislative Assembly, that of mutual confidence, has condemned himself by his declaration, under the penalty of incalculable embarrassments, to be constantly skilful and fortunate. That is a privilege which rarely belongs even to genius." The Corsaire has the following : " The following incident is related i propos to the reception of the President of the Republic on Thursday evening. At the moment when M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was waltzing with Lady Stanley he was in formed that Count Mo* whom he had not seen for same time, had just entered. The President excused himself for a moment to his partner, and interrupted the waltz, to shako hands with M. M0:19.. M. de Montalem bert enjoyed a similar honour." M. Guizot, M. Duchatel, M. Dumon, General Moline de St. Yon, and Admiral Mackau, all members of the last Cabinet of Louis PHILIPPE, are at present in Paris. The advocates of the State prisoners tried at Ver sailles hare been summoned to appear before the Court of the Order of Advocates on Tuesday next. The committee on the Budget has decided that the entire line of railroad from Paris to Avignon shall be leased to a single company. The conditions on which the lease is to be granted are not yet fixed. M. BACHE; of Calvades, has been appointed by the committee on the Budget to prepare the report on the Bill to continue the excise duty on spirituous liquors, presented by the Minister of 'Finance. The report will recommend that the Bill be passed. The Five per Cents. were done in the Passage of the Opera yesterday at 90f. sc.

Madrid journals of the 12th have arrived. The Gazette publishes the average price of corn, &c., in each province of Spain for the month of June last. The general average for all Spain was 46 reals per fanega for wheat, which is equivalent to about 385. per quarter. The difference of price in the different provinces is as great as ever. Thus, at Salamanca the average price of wheat was only 23 reals per fanega in June last, whilst at Potevedra, Gallicia, no great way off, it was 51 reels per fanega, a difference of more than 120 per cent. So much for want of facilities for transport. The minimum price was at Salamanca, and the maximum at Tara gona, Catalonia, where it was .54 reals per fanega, or about 535. per quarter. The average price of wheat throughout Spain for June, 1848, was 38 reals per fanega. There were rumours in the political circles of an approaching renewal of the Ministerial crisis.

AND HUNGARY. General,HATALAn arrived at Vienna from Widdin on the 13th. The Cologne Gazette has the following, dated Vienna, Nov. 12 :—" The Lloyd of this day (says a private letter from Paris, which we have received from indisputable authority) states that the new Minis terial Council has determined, in regard to the Turkish question, to observe a policy which shall banish the remotest suspicion of a breach of the general peace. The PRESIDENT has, conse quently, issued a command that the force ordered to the Dardanelles was to return and run into the French harbours." On the other hand, the Breslau Zeitung, dated Vienna, the 12th, says, " The couriers who arrived here yesterday from Constantinople, with letters and dispatches to the Ist November, brought very alarming intelli gence respecting the state of things there. The Porte continued to maintain profound silence relative to the state of the negotiations respecting the exiles at Widdin, while the Vienna letters brought very favourable views and communications. Men's minds are rather excited at Constantinople. Intelligence was received at the same time, that the Turkish Ministers, FUND EFFENDI and MUSSURUS, had been at St. Petersburgh and Vienna, and had had private audiences of the allied Monarchs relative to the solu tion of this question. Suddenly, however, the an nouncement was made of the arrival of a large English fleet, under the command of Admiral PARKER, at Mytilene, and, at the same time, of the French fleet at Smyrna. Constantinople and the Porte maintain a most pernicious silence and cora , pletely give themselves up to English influence." TURKEY. The Journal de Constantinople of the 4th says— " The news received yesterday by the steamer from Odessa and Crimea leaves no doubt of the settlement of the difficulty with Russia. This steamer had on board Latif Aga, aide-de-camp of Omer Pacha, and who ac companied Fuad Effendi on his mission to St. Peters burgh; and it also had o❑ board a Russian Cabinet cou rier. The former brought dispatches of the Imperial Ambassador for the Sublime Porte, the second dispatches from the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh for M. Titoff. These dispatches announce a pacific solution of the question based on the 2d article of the treaty of Kutchuck-Kai • nardji of 21st July, 1774, such as the Government of the Sultan had intended to maintain. The whole dis sension arose from an error in the interpretation of the article of the treaty; and as the error has now been recognised the refugees of Widdin, the principal of whom have been at Choumla for some days pact, will be simply sent into the interior. The pacific intentions of the Court of Austria are already known, and its defini tive reply, which had to be concerted with the Court of Russia, cannot be different from the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. We may, therefore, consider the affair as terminated, and diplomatic relations between the Perte and the legations of Austria and Russia as renewed. This solution, which satisfies ell interests, will be re ceived with joy by everybody." Respecting the reported ill-treatment of the refu gees at Widdin, the same journal says— " This is a malevolent rumour. The truth is that the refugees have been treated, and are still treated, by the Sublime Porte with all the regard which the duties of Ottoman hospitality prescribe, and that so far from being required, us refugees, to abjure their religion, it was in timated to such of them as had spontaneously manifested a desire to do so, that it would afford pleasure to see the demand adjourned, in order that the situation arising from a clear right should not cease for an instant to appear to the world in all the conditions of honour and dignity." The journal then adds, that when the PORTE learned that an Austrian general (1 - lAust.9B) had arrived at Widdin to request that the non-commis sioned officers and privates should be allowed to return home if willing, it freely consented, but first of all " exacted an engagement in writing that all these refugees should be amnestied." A letter from Widdin, addressed to the Journal de Constantinople, adds that the Austrian general had actually made this engagement in writing to OMER PACHA. GREECE. Letters from Athens state that the Russian Go vernment had sent a strongly-worded and even threatening note to that of Greece, complaining of the reception given to political refugees. PERSIA. By letters from the Persian frontiers of the 14th, addressed to the Journal de Constantinople, we learn that the chiefs of the half independent tribes of Djelaly, Haideranly, and Zilanly, who are charged with the protection of the frontiers, had quarrelled among themselves, in consequence of which it was feared that no check would be placed on the brigands who infest the road. The Prince HAmz.a. Governor of Azerbaidjan, had attempted to effect a reconciliation, but in vain, and the tribes were about to have recourse to arms, when Mr. STEVENS, the English Consul, intervened, and by his conciliating spirit succeeded in reconciling the adversaries and in inducing them to sign a treaty, binding them for the future under penalty of pecuniary indemnities. The letters add that tranquillity prevailed in the province of Azerbaidjan, and they mention a report that affairs were going on well in Khorasan also; but that never theless the Government of the SCHAU was concen trating troops from all parts at Teheran. ITALY. Letters of the 10th instant from Rome announce as certain the POPE'S speedy arrival at Rome. In tho Consistory, held on the sth instant, the Cardinals had received orders to prepare for their departure. These letters also state, that so far from retarding his HOLINESS, the late occurrences in Paris would, if anything, hasten his return to his capital. M. DE CORCELLES was expected at Portici to regulate his return. La Patric in like manner mentions that the POPE has announced his intention to return to Rome on the 28th. He proposes to return by land, and lie will stop at Terracino and Yelletri, where General Coil novA is to assemble 2,000 men, to be reviewed by the Holy Father, previous to their being embarked for Spain. At the early hour of nine o'clock, this morning, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Grey and Colonel Gordon, visited the expo sition of specimens of French art and manufactures collected by M. Sallandrouze de Lamoenais in the spacious premises arranged for the purpose at No, 13, George-street, Hanover-square. His Royal High ness examined, with great minuteness, the whole col lection, and was pleased to express his high commen dation of it, and of the motives for forming it ; he also stated his intention of inducing her Majesty the Queen to honour it with an early visit. THE LEGACY OF 10,0001. TO THE NATIONAL GALLERY.—The will of T. D. Lewis, Esq. (who was the youngest and only curving son of the celebrated come dian), has been proved at Doctors Commons. It is worthy of public note, and the memory of the deceased demands public gratitude for a legacy of 10,0001., New 3/. ss. per Cent. Annuities to the National Gallery. To 'this munificent bequest is attached a gift of a valuable portrait of the comedian in these words: " From a desire to perpetuate the memory of one of the best of fathers, whose private worth and public merit were alike deser vedly appreciated, I give and bequeath to the trustees of the National Gallery the full length portrait of my late dear father, William Thomas Lewis, Esq., painted by Sir Martin Archer Shee ; and it is my particular request that, in consideration of the above-mentioned legacy. they will permanently 'provide some conspicuous and eligible situation in the National Gallery for the said portrait, and preserve the same in good condition." The portrait represents the late cele brated comedian'as the Marquis is the Midnight Hour. The pecuniary legacy is directed to be invested upon trust to pay the dividends to Miss Lewis, the testa tor's only surviving sister, for life, and at her death the 10,0001. is to be transferred to the trustees of the National Gallery, "To the intent that the dividends, interest, and annual proceeds to arise therefrom (but not the capital thereof) may be laid out for the use or ob jects of the said gallery, or otherwise in the improve ment of the fine arts in such manner as the trustees of such gallery, or any committee or committees of the governors or directors thereof for the time being shall think fit." Miss Lewis is appointed sole executrix of the will, and, with the exception of the foregoing bene• faction and legacies to the trustees, Thomas Smith Tarleton, Esq., and William Edward Hilliard, Est, has an entire and uncontrolled power of disposition over the whole property of every kind whatever, including a valuable collection of plate. In the event of Miss Lewis net disposing of the whole, or any part of the estate, some contingent legacies are given to private friends and charities, and the ultimate residue is to be divided between the deceased's only surviving relatives. The property is sworn under 35,0004 VAUXUALL GARDENS.—That indefatigable caterer for the public, Mr. Robert Wardell, now that the Casinos are closed by the imperious mandate of the Middlesex Solons, is actively engaged in preparing, at this Methu selah of public gardens, an entertainment during the winter months specially dedicated to the votaries of Apollo and Terpsichore. It is understood that the royal property," as Vauxhall wasl facetiously; styled by the immortal Simpson, M. 0., will open on boxing night, with a comic pantomime, ballet, concert, and ball. The Waterloo ground, Italian, and other walks, will be closed to the public, while the " covered ways," as they are termed, rotunda theatre, ball-room, and super pa vilion, will be brilliantly illuminated, and heated by means of warm air apparatus,-ISuuday Times. and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 6,000 bales, oZ which speculators took one half. 250 Pernein and Maraeliatn realised CH.J. to 7d.; 200 Egyptian, 7,-;d. to 74d.; and 300 Surat, to 41. per lb.—ln Railway Shares vc ry little was done. There was a decline of Is. per quarter in the price of wheat in Mark-lane this morning. Some Australian was offered at 525. per quarter. The American private accounts, per Europa, have been delivered, and are of a satisfactory complexion in reference to commerce, although the fall business was drawing to a close. The efh ct of the news taken out from Eugland had been very decided upon the Cotton Market, and the rise here, should it be maintained, will put, it is said, an extra amount of about 20,000,000 dollars into the pockets of the American grocers and merchants. By returns from the principal southern ports, it is shown that the receipts of cotton up to date had been unusually limited, which is favourable to the planters if none resolve to sell while they cau realise full prices. The effect of the ad vance at Liverpool will moreover be felt, it is anticipated, in all departments of business in the States, and may give a greater impetus to speculation than has been realised for many years. It may be well to reflect, how ever, upon ultimate consequences, and upon the danger of a future crash, the speculation of 1825 and 1826 having prostrated every interest in the country for years after. The demand for sterling exchange at New York does not appear to have been very active, but the rate was firm at 110 to 1101. The total value of the imports for the week was 1,032,616 dollars. There was extensive emigration going on from Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois to lowa, as many as 1,500 waggons having crossed the Mississippi within five weeks. Accounts from Canada notice the prevalence of con tinued excitement upon political matters. At Montreal there was little demand for flour, and exchange on Lon don was dull. The business done in the city of Montreal during the fall has shown a great and very gratifying increase. Goods have sold readily, and to a very large amount, and at good prices. The Government has derived corresponding benefit, and paid off the salaries due on the sth instant in cash. They are also paying other demands in cash. It is rumoured that tho increase of duties at the port of Montreal alone for the quarter ending sth instant, is Over 30,0001. above that of the corresponding quarter of 1848. This created such a demand for debentures that they were returned to Government, through the Custom house, as fast as issued by the Receiver-General, and hence it was considered better to make payments iu money in the mean time. Advices of October 11, from Otaheito, state that Eng lish influence there was increasing. Coffee was scarce. Martinico and Guadeloupe, on the 27th September were tranquil, but business was very dull. From Mexico we have dates of October 27, and the information that 450,000 dollars are on board the feviot, of which 112,000 dollars were for the divi dends. The insurrection of Sierra Gordo had ended, and the moderation of the Government had produced a good effect. A terrible disease called the " bobo" is said to have appeared at Vera Cruz, having first been known at llavannah, and said to be worse than the cholera. From Venezuela the dates aro of Oct. 13. President Menages was more firmly supported, and business was improving. Coffee scarce and in active demand. Paez was still in prison, but was treated apparently with be coming lenity, Cape of Good Hope advices of Sept. 21, mention that the Swift had arrived in Simon's Bay with the state prisoners, but that not a moment was lost in supplying The Kafirs on the frontier o rather Market h is eragain. troublesome. l extremely buoyant still, though deters doing has not been important. The dete ca t t io :Td n b o neu f used i Stock dispatching the West India mail at Southampton, in order to receive dispatches said to relate to the Mosquito question, may have given a slight check to business, while the unfortunate and accidental death of Mr. Wildman, a large jobber, who is said to have been operating for the rise, is also felt for the moment.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY. The country markets held on Saturday, were but mo derately supplied with English Wheat, in which a fair amount of business was transacted, at very full prices. In spring corn, no material change took place. Fine Flour firm. Letters from New York to the 6th inst. represent the demand for both flour and grain heavy, at drooping prices. Shipments were progressing slowly. In the near continental ports, very few transactions have been effected on English account. Up to our market last week, coastwise, the arrivals of all English grains were small. From abroad. we received 8,808 quarters of Wheat, 7,829 ditto of Barley, 15,949 ditto of Oats, 86 ditto of Beans, 673 ditto of Peas, 301 ditto of Tares, 2,020 ditto of Linseed, 198 ditto of Rapeseed, 22 ditto of Brank, 194 ditto of Mustard Seed, 88 ditto of sundry seeds, 3,690 sacks and 333 barrels of Flour. The quantity of Wheat received put up this morning, from Essex, being on the increase, the show of simples of that grain here, to-day, was tolerably good. From Kent the supply was but moderate, and the arrival from Cam bridgeshire and Lincolnshire was trifling. Notwith standing that the attendance of both town and country buyers was on the increase, the demand for all descrip tions of Wheat of home produce was in a very sluggish state, at a fall in the prices obtained on this day se'nnight of quite is per quarter, at which a clearance was with difficulty effected. Several offers came to hand from the east coat to ship wheat at ruling prices. A bout 600 quarters of Australian Wheat, in middling cond iton, were on offer to-day, at 51s to 52s per qus xter. The show of Foreign Wheat was by no means extensive, yet it exceeded the wants of the millers, who purchased with considerable caution. Sorted qualities of botbt red and white sold at full prices. In the middling and infe rior kinds next to nothing was doing, yet the quota tions were mostly supported. We were very scantily sup plied with English Barley, but the quantity of foreign was somewhat on the increase. Grinding sorts sold to a fair extent, at last week's quotations; but malting awl dis tilling sorts were neglected. Although the supply of Malt was trifling, all descriptions wore very slow in sale, at barely stationary prices. Very few parcels of new have yet appeared. The total quantity of Oats was moderate. Fine dry parcels supported last week's currencies, but damp and inferior parcels ruled heavy. The inquiry for Beans was mostly in retail. In the general quotations no change took place. Porte, the supply of which was moderate, sold slowly at late rates. Indian Corn and Meal were much neglected. The best town-made Flour was held at full prices.

For the time of year our market to-day was well supplied with home-fed Beasts as to number, but their general quality was very inferior. As the attendance of both town and country buyers was on the increase, and the dead markets were well cleared of their late arri7alsr the Beef trade, especially for the primost Scots, Devons. and Bunts, was somewhat active, at an advance in the quotations of Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The highest figure for Beef was 4s 2sl per 81bs. The show of Foreign Beasts was good ; that of Sheep and Calves moderate. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 1,900 short-horns; from the Eastern Western, and Midland districts, 600 Herefords, runts, Devons, Scots, Short-horns, &c.; and from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds. The remainder of the Bullock supply was derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of London- We had a full average supply of Sheep on offer; but the number of prime Downs was limited. All breeds moved off steadily, at an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs. The best Old Downs realised 4s to 4s 2d per 81ba with out difficulty. The supply of Calves was very.moderate; most kinds of Veal sold somewhat freely, and Friday's advance in the currencies was well supported. Prime small Pigs were held at full rates of currency. Other wise the Pork trade was in a sluggish state. Per slbs. to sink the offal. s. d. to s. d. s. d. to a. d. Inferior Beasts..... 210 3 0 Second qual.
