I I miles from Bristol. MR. LILLY is instructed to SELL, by AUCTION, at the Commercial Sale Room, Bristol, on FRI DAY, the 2d November, 185 , , at One o'clock p rec i se ly , The Hotel, Garden, Bowling Green, extens ve Stabling, Coach houses, and Outbuildings, at the New Passage, with two Cottages and Gardens, and about eight acres of Meadow and Pasture Land, all in the parish of Henbury, in the county of Gloucester, adjoining the shore of the River Severn, and about 11 miles from the city of Bristol. And at the same time and place will be Sold, The ancient Passnge or Ferry, across the river Severn, from the New Passage on the Gloucestershire side to the Black Rock Hotel on the Nlonimiltilishire side of the river, within a few furlorgs of the South Wal,s Railway; together with the Quays, Piers, and Landing Places on the Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire shores, and the Pitt, called Chissell Pill, and alt the Tolls, Fines, Payments, and Emoluments receivable on account of the said Ferry, Piers, Quays, and Landing-places. A referenee to the Map of England will immediately show the Important position of this New Passage Ferry. It affords the shortest toute between the West and South-West of England, Bristol, Bath, Salisbury, and Southampton; and Monmouthshire and South Wales; and also between Bristol, Herefordshire, Shropshire, and Liverpool ; and a railway of about 103, miles would comnect the Ferry with the Midland , railway, the Great Western Railway, and the Bristol tusd Exeter Railway. Steam-vessels upon the system in u e between th. Cheshire and Lancashire shores at Liverpool, be tween New Holland and Hull, and at the Frith of Forth, could con veniently ply across the New Passage Ferry; and an immense traffic In passengers and goods now carried on with Monmouthshire and South Wales, across the Bristol Channel, or by the circuitous route of Gloom•^t T. would be the immediate result of such an improved com munication. Tlit :south Wales Line would be reached at a point only fifteen miles from Bristol, which, via Gloucester, is upwards of sixty. The above Property well deserves the attention of Railway Con tractors, or of any Capitalist who is disposed to secure the command of one of the most important Railway routes in the kingdom, and which must at an early period be adopted as an indispensable mode of communication between Bristol and Monmouthshire and South Wales.

( . 4 .;:.4 r(r) k`~ V ~~~~~~, LONDON, TUBS !MY. OCTOBER IG, 1855. The public is eagerly looking forward for Intel ligence from the Crimea. The an xiety is very natural, c ons id er i ng t h e vas t importance of the operations duri ng th e presen t month. The great points at i ssue are—First, Will the R uss i a ns be enabled to maintain their position, and still, de spite the exertions of the Allies, to retain the Crimea as a Russian territory? Secondly, Whe ther, abandoning the hope of maintaining the con test for the present, they will strive to withdraw their troops, with all their arms and munitions of war, prepared to carry on the conflict in other districts? Or, lastly, Whether, through the judi cious arrangements of the Allied Generals, they will be compelled to lay down their weapons, and to surrender at discretion It is almost unnecessary to expatiate on the vast importance of this latter result, which, if properly followed up, would effec tually cripple the power of Russia, an d a ff or d a fair prospect of inducing it to make such submissions as can alone bring about a permanent and honourable peace. What we have hitherto accomplished, in the Capture of Sebastopol, and the destruction of the Russian Fleet, is but a step in the right direction. If, through any diplo matic error, Sebastopol were restored to the isnemy, and our forces withdrawn, a very brief respite only would have been obtained, in return for all our exertions and sacrifices. A very short time would suffice to render the stronghold, if not impregnable, fully as formidable as it has ever been, and prepared to bear the brunt of another Eleven Months' Siege. A new fleet would rapidly be created—prepared again to menace Constanti nople, and to disturb the tranquillity of Europe. Even the possossiou and retention of the Crimea, THE SUR., LONDON. TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBP,TI 16 1856 although a very valuable acquisition, would not aceomplish all that is required for the protection of Turkey and the various districts abutting on the Euxine. A new fleet could be created at Nieolaieff and Kherson, and brought down ready f. >r action at any time. We should still main tain a powerful naval and military force, reE.cly for action at any moment. The army which had escaped from the Crimea would- provide ample occupation for the Allied forces, and through their aid the CZAR might be enabled to prolong the contest, and materially increase the sacrifices which the Western Powers have so cheerfully encountered. The case would, however, be altogether changed if we retained the hold which we have got over his Crimean army, and prevented them from moving out of the trap in which they are caught. We might then follow up our successes to any point we thought proper, completely paralyse the action of Russia, and compel her to become a humble suitor for the mercy to which she has so little claim. In fact, all that we could desire or demand would be placed within our grasp, and we might stipulate for concessions in other dis tricts against which the allied arms have not as yet been directed. We believe that this great desideratum may easily be accomplished ; nay, more, that it is in course of execution. To do so it is only necessary to cut off the supplies, and while they are threatened from the Sebastopol quarter to intercept commu nications with Perekop and the military road across the Sivash. The first of .these steps has already been taken. We yesterday mentioned that General D'ALLONVILLE occupied positions commanding the road to Perekop, and Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL, with his gallant Highlanders and a strong force of infantry and artillery, is prepared to co-operate with the French Commander, pre venting the arrival of men or food via Perekop, and ready even to arrest the flight of the fugi tives. Should they be driven across the Steppes by PELISSIER and SrmrsoN, we need scarcely say how difficult it would be, if not absolutely impossible, for men retreating rapidly be fore a victorious and pursuing army, to rally sufficiently to encounter a fresh and vigo rous foe, who could choose their own field of battle, although of far inferior numbers. One point there remains to be attended to-- that across the Sivash by the Tchongar penin sula. A glance at the map will show how easily this means of escape could be cut off. It lies but a short distance to the west of Genitchi. A few flat-bottomed boats or ships' barges would pro bably suffice for the operation, which was long since suggested, and ought to have been thought of. It was indeed a necessary corollary to the Genitchi problem, and when the bridge to the Spit of Arabat was destroyed, that to Tchongar should not have been permitted to remain available either for the supply or the retreat of the Russian army. A few days must bring the solution of our hopes and fears in this matter, and teach whether the Governments of France and England have as ypt resolved on the vigorous and unflinching pro sdcution of the War. We earnestly trust that it may be in accordance with the aspirations of the Peoples, and befitting the honour, and dignity, and material interests of both nations. Among the results of the capture of Sebastopol may be numbered a letter to the newspapers by Sir CHARLES NAPIER. " Nothing very remark able about that," says some inveterate cynic ; " had it followed the overthrow of an old woman's apple-stall nobody would have been surprised in the least." Why, really we must, however reluc tantly, admit there is some force in the remark. The brave old Admiral is inveterately rash in the command of the quill. No orders of any sort, treacherous or honest, reach his head-quarters ashore, and we are afraid he can't stand the want of contradiction, and impulsively pitches prudence overboard in consequence. Week alter week, for months past, you could no more take up a file of newspapers at the end without seeing a long epistle with his signature attached than you could do so without observing columns of lucubrations about the War, or convincing testimonials to the virtues of HOLLOWAY'S pills. In point of fact his letters have been so numerous that, without reference to their quality, many have gone so far as to say they were quite a drug in the newspaper market ; while others, who deemed one more than enough, attributed to them highly aloetic proper ties. And of a verity for bitterness aloes is a joke fo them. They really did disorder the region lying beneath the epigastrium. You couldn't attempt to be discursive about them without a peremptory summons to surrender, which, of course, put a period to your eloquence. Not, however, that they needed explanatory or ro futatory amplification. They were only too convincing. One dose removed every obstacle, and the rest was sheer purgation. Never good fellow in our time was so urgent to be taken, so bad to take, and so exhaustive to his friends, as Sir CHAELES has been latterly. We are heartily sorry for it, because we think highly of his abilities, and believe him to have been badly used--vertically Grahamised, if we may be allowed so gingerly an expression. Heartily sorry to see a brave and successful commander, bearing an illustrious name, so committing him self. Heartily sorry to see an old man, at whose lightest word thousands of brave men would have rushed unhesitatingly into the jaws of destruction —an old British Admiral, at heart so patriotic, and who has done as much as most men to illustrate our naval greatness—lowering his personal dia ., nity and injuring his country's cause by unseemly quarrels and untoward revelations. Did he never hear of the dignity of silence ? Is he unacquainted with the story of the Spartan youth, who mutely endured the pangs of disembowelment ? Cannot he conceive how measurelessly superior the tran quil scorn involved in a tacit reliance on the ver dict of time on his actions and those of his op pressors is to the sort of thing in which he is in wre wish to HEAVEN he cou ld ; b ut in relation l , t c o a . s ü b c e h e i m i v a h t i t : r b s o h n n e e h t. a : t lig a i r n e g a ? fraid on sense we put it t o hi m , w h I a nt histhe countrymen m m even if he has no regard for his own dignity, for the interests of the country, and the good of the incessant service, what good can this letter writing do him ? Does he think it will advance whatever claims he may possess to the command of the Baltic Fleet ? If the Ministry are favour able it can't be necessary to write to the news papers ; if unfavourable, it can't be wise to bore the public, as he really is doing. Is it that he is anxious about his professional reputation ? Why, it is only since he took so very severely to letter writing it has been seriously impugned. The people of this country, in the main, like their work done with as little noise as possible, and, as it were, instinctively set down a noisy fellow as an incapable, and the more he attempts to per suade them he isn't, why the more they don't be lieve him. Nobody doubts, or has, for some time past, doubted, that Sir CHARLES played the part of a judicious and brave commander while at the head of the Baltic Fleet. Time soon cleared away whatever mist might have settled on his conduct during that period. And time has also done him ample justice on Sir JAMES GRAHAM. Had be contented himself with a brief affirmation of having been 'victimised by that individual what would have been Sir CHARLES'S case now ? Why, instead of bobbing up before the public hebdomadally and bombarding them with his grievances, to the disparagement, too, of a brother admiral in command—instead of furnishing jokes for every coterie, and afflicting speculative Abi gails with conscientious scruples, he would by this time be booked for the command to which he so ardently, but, we fear, vainly, aspires. The highest authority to all Christians de nounced the hypocrisy of men who would pull an ox or an ass out of a pit on the Sabbath-day (i.e., on Saturday), but would not suffer a man to be healed on that day. We may imagine how he would address the Holy and Reverend Magistrates at Worcester—the Scribes who forbade a rustic to reap his wheat on the Sunday—the day on which neither GOD nor CHRIST ever forbade any man to work, but the day on which they for bid all to follow their ordinary calling, while they, we may be perfectly sure, compel their own servants to follow theirs. First, they throw overboard for themselves the Fourth Commandment and work or play, or sit on the bench of justice (? of injustice)on the seventh day, which GOD did most certainly enjoin should be kept holy. Next, they, after certain of their forefathers, declare that on the first day men shall not work—and if they do, they by the help of Acts passed in the times of those most religious martyrs and monarchs, the STUARTS, will fine or imprison them ;—and, lastly, if their own domestics refuse to work in cooking them hot dinners, and driving their carriages about on this day which they have made sacred, ten to one but the Reverends of the Bench would commit and fine them, because they did not obey their masters in all things. Thus, like their predecessors, who sat in MOSES'S seat, " they make heavy burdens and difficult to be borne, and bind them on men's shoulders, but they themselves will not touch them with one of their little fingers." Such has been Pharasaism in all ages. Self sparing, but oppressive to others. It is pleasant to see that the Worcester Reverends and Squires have had their reward ; they have had to repay the fine and costs which they inflicted on NATHANIEL WILLIAMS for reaping his wheat on the Sunday ! Sir GEORGE GREY seems to have profited by the universal indignation at his refusal to reverse the infamous judgment of the magisterial rector of Little Parndon on the innocent labourers who went to see the militia exercise. This time Sir GEORGE actually plucked up courage to tell aßevexend that he had disgraced himself as a magistrate. Sir GEORGE is improving. At Worcester the scene in petty sessions was quite amusing. The man of the surplice of course led the dance. He was presiding magistrate when the illegal conviction took place. He had to an nounce Sir GEORGE GREY'S decision. Magis trates, like jndges, might be mistaken, but the labourer must be protected from being compelled to work for a master, so he protected the poor man from voluntary working for himself. The logic must be good, for a rector must hare learned of ARISTOTLE if he has learned but little of the Gospel. Then, like Mr. BRIGHT, he is in a dread ful way with the Press. It has the misfortune to be honest, instead of talking about its honesty. He was not to be turned from his duty, no, not he, by the licentious Press—a protestation which was reiterated with extraordinary moral courage. A. Mr. T. G. CIIRTLER backed his brother, so did a Ar. J. W. WILLIS, a Mr. ST. JOHN ; also a Mr. SIDEBOTTOM, who introduced "great merri ment," among the sad avowals and condolences, by interposing in regard to Sir GEORGE GREY'S illustration of the barber shaving himself on Sun day—the very witty observation, that shaving was not a work of necessity now ! After the mirth all took courage, and the Rev. J. PEAR SON, in the fulness of his heart, rejoiced that, notwithstanding all the clamour, there had been no converts made. We wonder he left off without a Gloria Patri or a Te Deum. Perhaps this is best explained by the telegraphic despatch which reached town the next day. " Oct. 11. The Mlgistrates have this day repaid the fine and coats imposed upon NATHANIEL WILLIAMS." Would that every Rev. Czar could be as effectually humbled ! This, however, will be a lesson. By the bye the Rev. J. PEARSON may learn that to save corn is as important as to save an ox ; and that, if it may be done on a Saturday, despite the Fourth Com mandment, much more on a Sunday, despite no Divine commands at all. OUTRAGE ON THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND. GREAT DEMONSTRATION IN ST. HELIER, ISLAND OF JERSEY. SATURDAY NIGHT, OCT. 13. The greatest excitement has prevailed through out this island since the publication of the infamous libel on her Majesty, which appeared in a French paper called L'Homme. To-night one of the largest, most enthusiastic, and unanimous meetings that has ever been known, took place at the Queen's Assembly Rooms, Belmont-road ; upwards of 2,000 of the most influential and respectable British re sidents and native inhabitants were present.--N. Le Quesno, Esq., Constable of St. Helier, in the chair. The following resolutions wore unanimously adopted 1. That, in the opinion of this meeting, it is right that this country should at all times afford a safe asylum to political and religious exiles, whatever may be their country, their convictions, or their creed. But that, in return for the home and protection they meet with in the British empire, it is the duty of all refugees to sub mit to its laws ; and that to do otherwise is an abuse of a most ungrateful character, and a gross violation of hospitality. 2. That this meeting learns with regret that, during upwards of a year, some political refugees have heb domadally published in this island a journal called L'Homme, which has for its objects the suppression of Christianity, the propagation of Socialism, and the de struction of all thrones, including that of the gracious Sovereign whose loyal and devoted subjects it is our pride and privilege to be. 3. That this meeting protests, in the most emphatic and solemn manner, against the doctrines advocated by the Socialist journal before named ; which paper not only openly preached infidelity, calls for the overthrow of all constituted authority, and shamefully assails the great and cordial ally whose efforts in cementing the union of England and France entitled him to the re speet and attachment of the people of this country, but extols political murderers, inculcates regicide, and basely and wantonly insults the Queen of this realm. This meeting considers the publication of a paper of the above nature as a must disgra.csful outrage on the moral laws of hospitality, and on the feelings of the inhabitants of this Christian and loyal island. The meeting consi dersits publication here as a misfortune for the island, and earnestly trusts that immediate measures will be adopted to suppress it. 4. That a copy of the above resolutions be commu nicated to hi s E xcellency the Lieutenant-Governor by the following deputation :—The C ons t a ble of St. Helier, P. Hemery, Esq., an d D r. Jos. Dickson. SUND. In consequence o f th e excited state AY of the people, the Governor has consented to receive the deputation this day (Sunday)— a most unusual thing. The ;Marchioness of Waterford has arrived at Cla ridge's Hotel (late Mivart's), from Curraghmore, Ire. land. The Earl of Lonsdale has returned to town from Paris and the South of France. The Counteqs Dowager of Donoughmore and the Ladies Hely-Hutchinson have arrived at Claridge's Hotel (late Mivart's), en route for Italy, where they in• tend to pass the winter. The Provost of Eton and Miss Hawtrey have arrived at the Clarendon from the Deanery, Salisbury. Mr. Wilson has left the same hotel for Baltimore, United States. LATEST NEWS. SIMULTANEOUS ADVANCE OF THE ALLIES. WARSAW, OCT. 14. Despatches from Prince Gortschakdf to Prince Paskiewitch confirm the news of a simultaneous organised concentric advance of the Allies from Eupatoria, Baidar, Kertch, and Kinburn, with the intent of .surrounding and cutting off the Russian forces. SAILING OF THE ALLIED FLEETS FROM ODESSA. ST. PETERSBURG, OCT. 15. Despatches just received state that the Allied Fleets sailed yesterday from Odessa, and anchored three miles from Kinburn. [Kinburn is situated at the extreme western point of the coast which bounds the Liman or estuary of the Dnieper, on the south.] • VIENNA, OCT. 15. The house of Rothschild is to establish an Austrian bank of Credit Mobilier. It is said the capital will be 60,000,000f1. VIENNA, MONDAY EVENING. The oe,sterreichische Correspondenz contains the following intelligence from Odessa, under date of the 10th : Eighty ships are in sight of the harbour ; either a descent on the place or a bombardment is cx- pected. The Emperor will not visit Odessa at present. OCT. 11. 1 ,.; A. report is in circulation, which, under exist- ing circumstances, does not appear probable. It is rumoured that the Russians intend to abandon the north side of Sebastopol, and to retire to Perekop. The fleets are still off Odessa. MARSEILLES, Trim Div, OCT. 15. The Cheliff has arrived from Constantinople : her dates are, from Constantinople, the Bth ; the Crimea, the Gth. The despatches leave at 1 p.m. The steam-frigate Darien is embarking troops for the Crimea. The Valetta has not arrived. A letter from Sebastopol of the 2d inst., states that the English have found in the Karabelnaia 2,222 guns, 390,000 bombs and round shot, engines to the value of 40,0001., chains and anchors estimated at 20,0001., and metals at 12,0001., 3,000 tons of coal, more than 3,000,000 of rations, and arms and clothing of various kinds. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. The Moniteur contains the following : _ _ " CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 13. "On Sept. 29th the Russians attempted a gene ral attack on Kars. The combat lasted seven hours with extreme desperation. The enemy was at length repulsed, and his retreat became a com plete rout. On the 30th they had already buried 4,000 dead, and the field of battle was strewed with dead bodies. The loss of the Turks is only • about 1,000 men." The Emperor and the Duke and Duchess de Brabant honoured the Theatre Francais last even ing with their presence, to witness the performance of Macille. de la Seigliere. Solemn thanksgivings for the pregnancy of the Empress were yesterday offered up in the Reformed Churches of the Paris district. Vice-Admiral Parseval-Deschenes, who last year commanded the French fleet in the Baltic, has just arrived at Geneva. The Moniteur publishes a return of the receipts of the taxes and indirect revenue for the first nine months of 1855, which amounted to 699,789,000 fr., being 81,055,000 fr. more than in the correspond ing period of 1804. The rerite of Lille states that every night dur ing the past week railway trains conveying troops have passed through that town f rom th e C am p o f the North, which is now completely at an end. Each of the trains conveyed not less than 700 men. Most of these troops are on th e i r wa y t o th e Crimea, and it is difficult to describe the joy and animation which prevails among them. The Debatscontinues its analysis of the despatches of Prince Gortschakoff, by an ex a m i na ti on o f hi s proc lamation to the Russian army on the fall of Sebastopol. M. Saint Ange certainly asks, very reasonably, why that powerful fleet never even showed itself at the entrance of the roadstead, ff battle under the guns of it s f or t s , or, at e least e r with the chance of ret, eati ng un d er t h e i r v " It might have been beat e n, b u t it cou ld h ave returned shot for shot ; the h onour o f t h e Russian flag would have been saved, at least it would have been more glorious to have fi nis h e d i n a naval act ion, than to have been sunk inglo rious by its own seamen in its own port." BOURSE, October 15, Two o'clock.—The prices of the funds awl shares. have been buoyant. The defeat of the Russians at Kars, though Omer Pasha was not yet arrived with his reinforcements, is considered as an event of great i mportance . Th e market besides is in a better sit ua ti on, specu l a t ors for a fall having oversold the mse l ves, an d now obliged to repurchase stocks. Th e opt i on (R eponse tdeeslPiqruinaideastiO which took place t o -d ay prev i ous t o h n of shares,was made on rather favour• able prices, and the railway shares have in conse quence been very steady.

A letter from Vienna of the 11th says :_c‘ A rumour has been current of the probability of Lord Elliott replacing the Earl of Westmoreland as am bassador at this court, but it is now said that in stead of doing so he will succeed Lord Stratford de Redcliffe at Constantinople. M. de Wilden bruck, the Prussian ambassador at Constantinople, only remained here two days. He visited all the most important personages, and particularly M. de Prokesch, whom he will have for a colleague in Turkey." The Vienna journals give, on the faith of de spatches from Varna, accounts from the Crimea to the Bth inst. The army of Baidar, which is com posed of the best troops and . of the largest part of the light cavalry of the allied army, is said to be 100,000 strong, whilst another corps is to be con centrated at Kertch, to act by a combined move ment with the corps d'armee of Eupatoria. TICE PRINCIPALITIES. " The Russian agents at Belgrade and in the surrounding districts (says a letter from Jassy, in the Wanderer) are said to be engage'l in endeavour ing to efface the effect produced by the fall of Se bastopol, which they have so long pretended was impregnable. Prince Milosch is again endeavour ing to excite a feeling towards Russia in the Prin cipalities, and two of his agents were lately ar rested, having about them large sums of money and letters of recommendation. They wore simply conducted to the frontier. The prinde still resides at Odessa, and astonishment is felt that, at his advanced age, and being almost blind, he can still entertain ambitious projects, although he cannot be ignorant that Russia will never again be in a L state to assist him in re -ascending the Servian throne, and that the majority of the popu!ation in that country never pronounce his name without antipathy." RUSSIA. A letter from Si - - Petersburg says the. the Em peror Alexander, in his recent visit toloscow, not only went with the Imrerial family to the holy places, temples, catacombs, and chapels, kissing the relics of the saints, and prostrating himself be fore the altars—but in order to fortify the courage of his army determined on carrying to it a relic of Saint Serguis, consisting of a painted imago of the saint from one of the sides of his coffin, which is supposed to be of great sanctity and virtue, and which figured in the wars of the Czars Michael Feodorovitch and Peter 1., and in that of Moscow in 1812. On giving up the image, to the Czar, a grand religious ceremony took place, and the Me tropolitan in the course of it made the following solemn appeal to the saint : " St. Serguis Thou gayest thy blessing to Prince Dimitri, to the Czars Michael, Peter, and Alexander P —look down favourably on the Czar Alexander Nicolaie witch, who comes to demand from thee thy holy ima•ze, in order to show it to his army as the sacred mark (.f thy prayers of benediction and protection. Cease not to pray to God to pardon our sins, for which we have merited chastisement, that He will blesS our most pious Czar and his army, and that He will give him vic tory which will make peace, and a victorious peace r The Czar, on receiving the image, reverently kissed it." The Emperor has taken the image in question with him to the South. PRUSS lA. A letter from Berlin, of the 12th, states that M. Hassenphlug, minister of the Elector of Hesse- Cassel, has tendered his resignation, which has been accepted. All the ministry have retired at the same time. M. de Schachten, formerly Hes sian ambassador at Vienna, has been charged to form a new ministry. The lithographic news-sheet of Berlin of the 12th says :—" General de Wedell, governor of Lnxem biurg, has been sent for by the King, and it is thought that he is to be charged with a diplomatic mis,ion. Colonel de Manteuffel, aide-de-camp to his M tjesty, has also been summoned from Dusseldorf, who has already been charged with different mis sions." SARDINIA. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 12th states that the King, whose health is much im proved, will himself, probably, open in pe,rcon the session of Parliament. It is said that the deputy Cadorna will be elected President of the Chamber. His Majesty will, it is expected, be able to under take his intended journey by the end of the month. The Italian Legion does not form very rapidly ; it is mostly composed of Piedmontese. A letter from Genoa says that the French lega tion at that court has officittlly notified that, by a decision of the French and Englt , h Gov , rnments, it has been decided that any vessels in ballast may pass the blockade in the Strait of Kertcb, when their object is to take on board corn, to be landed at a port of the allied nations, or at a neutral one. COLLISION OFF DOVER.—The Alderman Thompson from Portsmouth, for Sunder'and, was run into by a steamer (name unknown), at 12 last night off D v r Carried away her mizenmast, and all the starboard quarter completely cut down to the water. Lost ;inch r and chain, and one man killed. She will proceed to Ramsgate for repairs. The impression still prevails that arrangements for temporary accommodation are under discussion between the Bank of England and the Bank of France. TEE SOUND DUES.—The approaching Congress on the subject of the sound dues is to be held at Copenhagen, at the latter part of next month. MEMEL, Oct. 11.—The weather is very unsettled, wind westerly and squally. H.M. steamer Desperate has arrived in the roadstead, and has sent in two prizys —Swedes jacht Fortuna, and schooner Nicken. Major-General the Earl of Cardigan has spent several days in the inspection of the various cavalry depots at Newbridge. The noble and gallant earl was entertained at dinner by the officers quartered there. SIGNIFICANT DEMONSTRATION.—Tbe youth of the city of Rome have sent a subscription of 1,600 livres to the Sardinian Contingent in the Crimea., for having well de served of the country, in supporting with honour and glory, the name and flag of Italy. A letter from Odessa, dated Oct. 3, and published in the Nord of yesterday, says :—" Our troops are disposed in such a manner, that on every piat which may be attacked the enemy will meet with serious resistance. In twenty-four hours 50,000 men, and in flrty-eight hours 100,000 men can be assembled at any given point." The Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China, at their meeting at Bombay on the 17th of August, stated the profits for the half-year at 17,0101., and, after, payment of a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per an num, a balance of 3,8781. was carried to the reserve fund, which now stands at 7,9101. REFBETIIIINTATION OF ARMAGH. —A third Conservative candidate is in the field flr Armagh, Mr. Sterne Miller having received a requisition from a respec , able section of the party to come forward. The other candidates are Mr. Bond and Mr. Dunbar, for both of whom an active canvass is leing carried on. PROFITS OF AUTHORSIIIP.—The proceeds of the la , t serial, "Bleak House," are understood t) have fallen little short of 13,0001. The sale is assumed to have varied from 30 to 40, averaging 35,000 per month, which, at half the selling price, leaving the other half to defray expenses, would be, in round numbers, 10,0001. for the twelvemonths, on the monthly parts alone ; and the parts extend to 20. THE VINES.—The Cadiz papers contain reports from the Xerxes district to the effect that the vintage of this year is proceeding under very unfavourable etrcum stances, and that it is feared, if bad weather continue, the few grapes that have escaped the disease will rot upon the vines. Since the commencement of the autnm.i there had scarcely been a bright day, at,cl recent heavy rains had occasioned great damage t) the grapes lying already gathered in the mats, as well as to those in growth. PRODUCE MARKETS.—The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotterdam produce markets state that operations have been less extensive, but that prices on the average continue to be well supported. The busi ness in sugar, coffee, and rice has attracted the princi pal attention, owing to the recent movement in those articles. The letters from Rouen mention that the mar ket for manufactures was inactive, with a tenueLcy to decline. DEPARTURES FOR AUSTRALIA.—The departuns from the port of London for the Australian colonies during the past week have comprised five vessels—one to Port Philip, one to Portland Bay, one to Adelaide, one to Sydney, and one to Launceston—with an aggregate ca pacity of 3,451 tons. The rates of freight present scarcely any alteration. FESTIVITIES AT LORD DUFFERIN'S.—His lordship, who has taken the deepest interest in the erection of the monument to his lamented friend the late Earl of Belfast, has invited the members of the Belfast commit- . tee to a dinner and ball at his hospitable mansion. On Th:irsday night the harvest home was celebrated by his• lordship's tenantry with extraordinary rejoicirgs, mem bers of the nobility sharing in the festivities and taking part in the dance.—Beljast Mercury. The trustees of the late United Scrvice Annuity Bene volent Institution (the Earl of Hardwieke, Sir Thomas Cochrane, and General Cater), in disposing of the ba lance of the funds of this society, which was projected in 1839, but never brought to maturity, have granted 1001., through the surviving members of the committee (Captain Sweny and Sir E. Nicolls) t ,- ., each of the follow ing inAitutions, viz. :—The Royal Naval School, New Cross, the Wellington College, and the Royal Naval Fe male School. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF A JEWELLER.—On Saturday the City Police issued information th;it an extensive rob bery had been committed at Mr. Aloaha,ui's No. 21, Bevis Marks, jeweller, by a man named Albert STearnan, who decamped, taking away gold bracelets, a gold watch —enamelled back, set with diamonds—and other valu• able property. A reward is offered for his apprehen-iii n RAILWAY ACClDENTS.—Yesterday morning two seri ous railway accidents were admitted into Guy's Hospi tal. The first case is that of James Rose, aged 24 years, who it appears was in the act of getting on one of the trains while it was in motion at the Guildford station, on the South-Western line, wlin he slipped, and the wheels passed over his legs. Mr. Hilton, surgeon, per formed amputation, but the unfortunate mean remains in a most precarious state. Scarcely had the operation been performed before one of the firemen on the North Kent Railway, named Wm. Hit', aged 39 years, was brought in. He was also in the act of getting on the engine while in motion. He fell between the platform and engine, the wheels of which passed over the ankle, which so terribly lacerated it that amputation was found necessary. THE RAILWAY ACCIDENTS IN LANCASHIRE.—The par ties injured by the three railway accidents in. LanCashire are all doing well, and there is a probability of their re covery. The accident at Fleaton Norris is undergoing investigation by the company (not the magis•rates, as stated yesterday), and it is probable that neither the pointsman nor the driver of the mail train will be held to blame. The goods train was only in the act of stopping when run into. It had been losing time by the slipperi ness of the rails, and the mail train had approached so nearly behind it, that there is reason to believe the driver of the mail had passed the distance signal before it was turned on, and consequently had not notice enough to enable him to stop in time to prevent the collision. The signalman is said to have first seen them both nearly at the same time. ANOTHER TRIBME SUNDAY.—The Preentan's Journal states that the general collection in the Dublin chapels, on Sunday, for Dr. Cullen's Catholic University, was in a high degree satisfactory, but as the grand total is not yet announced the public impatience must be restrained for a day or two. At present it is only known that the modest sum of 601. was contributed by the congregations INFORMATION AGAINST A MAYOR.—The committee di spo sing of t of the Blandfurd Instit u ti on assem bled about a fortnight ago t two chapels. the purpose of di sp o (thethe y i rmao o officiated newspaper, on which occasion Mr. H . W . as chairman and sold the respective papers to the highest bidders. A young man of the name of John Cole, apprentice to Mr. Wyatt, has, in consequence, lai I an information against Mr. Abbott, for selling by auction without a licence. Cole had wale ill-feeling towards Mr, Abbott. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) MANSION- HOUSE. TILE JEWS AND THE SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. The a , lj , )urned hearing of this case, a charge of cruelty to a bullock, but which really aff,cts the manner t,N which the Jews have their cattle slaughtered, took place this day before the Lord Mayor, assisted by Sir Peter Laurie. From the importance of the case, and the interest attached to it, the court was densely crowded, and the representatives of the evening papers are much indebted to Mr. Goodman for the arrangements made by him for their accommodation. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Ballantine for the nominal defendants—Yamkoff Cohen and Thomas Reynolds. Mr. Bodkin said the complaint was laid under an act passed in 1849, for the more effectual prevention of cruelty to animals, by the second section of which it was provided that if any person cruelly ill-treated or tor tured, or caused to be tortured or illused, any animal, every such offender for every such offence should forfeit a penalty of 51., and by the interpretation clause animal included " ox, bullock," &c. The question raised to-day involved principles and feelings of the highest impor tance to a large and respectable class of the community, and required patient and calm consider ation on the part of his lordship. These proceed ings had not been instituted from any personal or pecu niary motives, but by the members of the society he represented, who desired to see the humane provisions of the act carried out. Whatever the result might be no one coald doubt but that it was a proper matter to be calmly and dispassionately investigated, the mode adopted by the Jewish community for slaughtering cattle intended for their consumption. All must he aware without study or research that the Jewish com munity have peculiar customs with respect to the slaughtering of cattle intended for the subsistence of their people, and from what he knew of the educated class of that community (some of whom he saw present) that no intentional cruelty or any indifference to what amounted to cruelty would receive their sanction, one of the chief characteristics of whom was kindness of heart and disposition, and whom, if the abuses corn plaine.l of were shown to exist, none would be moreifor ward to promote improvement calculated to serve tht cause of humanity than those who were now affected lek these proceedings. So far as he could understand th. Jewish custom, the object of their present mode ot• slaughtering the cattle, was to arrive at two points con sidered essential bythem—first, that the animal should bee living animal when operated on, and in the next that all the blood of the animal should be completely extracted from it before it was fit for food. The society was of opinion that if the Jews adopted the modern system of slaughter ing cattle—that of knocking them on the head—the animal would not, in fact, be deprived of life, but ani mation would only be suspended, which would render ,he animal, during the remainder of the operation, per fectly free from that pain and agony which it now ne cessarily underwent, and, by cutting it nearer the heart, death would ensue in two or three minutes. Jewish writers agreed that any amount of life in the animal at the time of slaughtering was sufficient to meet the re quirements of the Jewish community —even the move ment of the tail—and therefore, by the modern mode there would be a living animal to be operated on, and the means of extracting the whole of the blood. If his Worship, after hearing the evidence, should be of opinion, that by the Jewish mode of slaughtering, cruelty was inflicted on the animal, but excusable in deference to the religious rites of the Jews, and that by slaughtering a bullock with a poleaxe would be a viola tion of one of the Jewish rites, then it would be neces sary to have the question decided by the highest tri bunals. The Jews might claim the highest antiquity for what they did, but he need not say that to go back to olden times as the only justification fur this proceed. ing was hardly feasible in the present day, but that the march of civilisation that had ',emancipated the Jews from their former grievances should induce them to have recourse to the ' modern improve meets in physiological science, and pay a defer ence to the powers that be, and instead of resisting should adopt such improvements as modern science pre sented to them. He called the following evidence. Edward Dixon, police-constable of the D division, deposed going with Seaman, one of the officers of the society, to a slaughter-house in High-street, Aldgate, where he saw Reynolds and Cohen. He saw three bul locks slaughtered, two without and one with a pole-axe; the hind legs were fastened with a chain, and the fore legs with a rope. It was then thrown down, and two men knelt on it to keep it down. A ring was placed into its mouth, into which was put a bent iron rod by which the throat was stretched, the bar being brought by the men back over the head on the eye to get a purchase. The animal was held in that position two minutes, the animal appearing to suffer much pain. Then Cohen shaved off a little Lair from the throat, and cut the throat near the jaw, nearly severing the head. His impression was the animals suffered much more pain by this mode of slaughtering than by the use of a pole axe, judging from the protrusion of the tongue and the movements of the body. One of the animals was nine minutes in dying. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine as to the Christian mode of slaughtering, in contrast with the Jewish mode. A bullock, by the ordinary mode of slaughtering, bad one leg hobbled. It was then struck in the head with a pole-axe ;on which a boy put a cane into the hole and stirred the brains, when the animal died almost immediately. The cane " twiddled" about in the brain no doubt caused pain, but he thought not so much as that by the Jewish mode. Mr. Seaman, the society's officer, deposed that the bullock pole-axed, alluded to by the last witness, was the largest of the three, and died quickest. He cor roborated the policeman's evidence 88 to the suffering of the animal by the Jewish method, and gave it as his opinion that a bullock died quicker by the pole-axe and cane. • Elward Morgan, a slaughterman, employed in the slaughter-house in question, was present with the former witnesses. They had described the process pretty accurately. By the ordinary mode a bullock was 2 or 3 minutes dying, by the Jewish 9 or 10 minutes. By Mr. Ballantine—He had frequently had to strike a bullock more than once with a pole-axe. Mr. Ballantine—How did the ox seem to like it ? Witness—He must put up with it I suppose. (Laughter.) He bad seen a bullock rise after being knocked down and its throat cut. R. Morgan and James Anderson, gave similar testi mony. Dr. Lloyd, senior, physician of Royal Dispensary, and late lecturer on Pathology at Guy's ilospit,d, was next examined. [We shall give the conclusion in our late edition.] THAMES. KILLING A GOAT.—A poor woman named Harvey, residing in Poplar, complained to Mr. Yardley that a mischievous lad, the son of a neivhbour, had shot a "Nanny goat" belonging to her, and she wanted redress for the loss she had sustained. The goat was a favourite with her children, who brought it up from a kid, and by its sportiveness and playfulness amused the family and neighbours. Mr. Yardley—Under what circumstances did the boy stloot the goat The applicant replied that the goat put its head through a hole in the fence separating two gardens, and the boy, who was between 16 and 17 years of age, loaded a pistol and shot it in the head, which brought on lockjaw, and she was advised to have it killed by a butcher. The woman then produced the head, feet, and skin of her favourite "Nanny," and pointed to a wound in its jaw. The boy had exhibited no signs of contrition whatever, and seemed to think it was fine sport to shoot her "Nanny goat." his parents would not pay the value of the goat. Mr. Yardley said, if the woman's statement was cor rect, the boy bad coinmitted a most wanton and cruel act, and he could be charged, under the act of Parlia ment, with cruelty to an animal. He would grant the woman a summons against the mischievous boy for cruelty to an animal. It was, undoubtedly, an act of cruelty to shoot at a goat and wound it. PATTISON THE PAWNBROKER AGAIN.—This morning a poor woman came before Mr. Yardley, and said she went to the shop of Mr. Pattison, a pawnbroker, in John-street, White Hart-lane, Stepney, to redeem a pledge, on which 2s. 6d. had been lent. She put down a half`--crown piece, and a penny, the amount of interest on the counter, and the pawnbroker took it up and put it in his till, and when the pledge was delivered to, her he said she had not given him the principal and interest. She declared that she had, and that it was the last ball crown she had in the world. The pawnbroker, how ever, insisted that he had never received the money, and refused to deliver the pledge. She was a very poor woman, and it was hard to be deprived of her money. Mr. Yardley—So it is, my good woman ; but I cannot assist you. I have no jurisdiction in the matter, an d you must go to the County Court. An officer said that many persons bad complained that goods pawned with Mr. Pattison had been withheld from them, on the ground that a robbery had been com• !pitted on the premises. Last week a woman, Le' cau, complained that when she sent her daughter to redeem s gold ring pawned on the 6th of September, 1854, for 53., a brass ring, worth a penny. wa4 substituted, and pawnbr , ker insisted it was the ring he received, and on which he bad lent ss. Mr. Yardley said that qr veral persons had complained of irregularities on 'he part of Mr. Pattison, and the press, he understood, had taken notice of his proceed ings. He hoped that would do the pawnbroker some good, and that he should hear no more complaints. ROBBING A MARKET GARDEN.—William Eaton, a boiler maker, about 25 years of age, was brought beforo Mr. Yardley, charged with stewing a quantity of celery from a field in the occupation of Messrs. Roberts and Bedford, market gardeners, of Bromley-hall, Bromley, in Middlesex. Police-constable No. 183 K stated that about half past seven o'clock last night he saw the prisoner in the ict of tearing up celery in the prosecutor's field. He sprung over the fence which separates the field from the road, and the prisoner moved himself quickly away from the place where he first saw him, and put himself in a stooping position. He discovered close to the place where he first saw the prisoner 15 large heads of celery on the ground, and 7 more partially broken. The celery had been torn up by the roots. Mr. Joseph Roberts, of the firm of Roberts and Rad ford, said he had lost a great quantity of market garden produce by the bands of depredators who trespassed on his gardens and fields. The persons who committed these depredations were chiefly boiler makers, and others in the employ of Mr. Mare and Mr. John Scott Russell, the iron-ship builders. Inspector Holmes, of the K division, believed the prisoner was employed at Mare's establishment. The' Prisoner—No, sir ; at John Scott Russell's. Mr. Yardley said this system of plunder was carriel on to a great extent, and the prosecutor's gardtn4 were peculiarlysliable to depredations, necessarily exposed as growing crops were. He sentenced the prisoner to 14 days' imprisonment, and hard labour. A second convic tion fur a similar offence would render him liable to six months' imprisonment, and hard labour. A boy named Thomas Williams, in the employ of Mr. Mare, was charged with stealing grapes from outside the residence of Mr. Joseph Roberts, of Bromley-ball. The prosecutor's watchman detected the prisoner this morning in the act of stealing grapes, and he said other boys said there were plenty of them and he was at liberty ,o take as many as he pleased. It appearing that the prisoner had been an instrument in the hands of others, and that he was a boy of good character, Mr. Yardley fined him 3d., the value of the grapes, and ls. in addition, which was paid by his father. The magistrate ob-erved he was afraid what the prosecutor said was too true, and that Mr. Mare's and Mr. John Scott Russell's workmen and boys robbed the market garden grounds in the vicinity of Bromley to a great extent. SOUTHWARK. BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A LAD BY A SWELLMOBSMAN.—'' Louis Sarto, a well-dressed young fellow, well known as an expert member of the swell mob, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett on a warrant by 64 L, charged with committing a brutal assault on John Hurstone, a lad about fifteen years of age. The complainant, who exhibited a wound on the left eye, said that he was an apprentice to an engineer, and resided with his father in Chester-place, Waterloo-road. On Tuesday evening, about 9 o'clock, he was going home, and on proceeding along Barren's-place, he saw' the prisoner wrangling with another man. He appeared rather intoxicated, and as witness was attempting to pass him he struck him a severe blow on the side of the head, and knocked him down. While on the ground the prisoner kicked him on the eye, which rendered him insensible. He was taken home and attended to by a surgeon, after which he told his father what had oc curred, and when search was made for the prisoner he decamped from the neighbourhood. John Williams, a shoemaker, said he was passing along Barren's-place on Tuesday evening, the 9th inst., when he saw the prisoners, without the least provoca tion, knock the lad down and kick him several times on the face. Witness went to the lad's assistance, when the prisoner struck him and ran away. The prisoner was under the influence of liquor, but he knew what he was about. William Jones said he also saw the prisoner kick the lad ; but before he could get up to seize hold of him he managed to make his esca p e . .... The prisoner said it was all false what the witnesses had stated. He could not have touched the la:l as be was so drunk that he could not walk, and was compelled to be carried home. Mr. A'Beckett asked him whether he had witnesses to prove his assertions ? He replied that he had not ; but he recollected some boys annoy'ng him. The complainant said that there was no one near the prisoner but one of his companions, and he ran away .)efore he knocked witness down. Mr. A'Beckett said it was a very brutal assault, and he should fine him Si., and in default of paymeat commit him to the House of Correction for six weeks. ASSAULT IN THE SURREY THEATRE.—JeItra Bucks, an •ificer of the High Bailiff, was charged with committi' g an assault on Henry Peckham, the constable of the, Surrey Theatre. The complainant said the pri••oner was disturbing the audience in the pit last evening, when wit ness went up to him and desired him to desist. He, however, made more noise, and struck witness as he was ejecting him from the pit. His violent conduct alarmed the whole of the audience, and put a stop to the performances for a few minutes. The prisoner said he was drunk at the time and did not know what he was about. Mr. A'Beckett told him his conduct was disgraceful, and for assaulting the officer in the execution of his duty he should fine him 20s. or 14 days. MARYLEBONE. CHARGE or ROl3/kiRY OF Morair.—Samuel Clarke, a eartna.n, of 44, Duke-street, Minch:ster-square, was charged before Mr. Long with stealing the sum of 41., the property of James B.tiley, carman, 22, Spring' street. Mr. Handley attended for the prisoner. The prosecutor stated that in the month of July, 1853, he had instructions to move a large quantity of property, including above 3,000/. worth of plate, from the residence of Sir John Kirkland, Bart. ' Portman square, to his country mansion at Patcham Park, Sussex. He engaged two vans, and entrusted the pri son er with one of them. Each of the vans was drawn by two horses. On the day following the departure of the vans he received information from a policeman that they wen lockedup at Tooting. Mr. Long—Where did you find the vans Prosecutor —ln the yarn of the Bull Inn, Tooting. Mr. Long—Did you see the prisoner there Prosecutor—No, sir. I have not heard of him till last Sunday, when I was told where be was to be found, upon which I gave information to a policeman, who took the prisoner into cu-tody. I gave the prisoner 4/. for the expenses attending the journey down to Patcham• park, and I charge him with stealing th a t sum of money. Mr: Efandley—Was not the prisoner drunk when you gave charge the of the vans to him ! Prosecutor—He wai not. Was it likely that I should have entrusted 4,0001. worth of goods to a drunken man? Mr. Handley—Did not the property reach Pateham park in f• a, fety ? Prosecutor—Yes ; the other man took the Tans do wn. Policeman Burk, D 248, who apprehended the pri soner, stated that in going to the station•house he observed that he was drunk arid lost the 4/. Mr. Long said that he should send the case to the sessi,ins. Mr. Handley remarked be hoped the magistrate would not take that course, as he could nrivg forward wituesseo, if the case was adjourned, who would show that the prisoner was drunk and lost the money while in that state, Mr. Long—lle should, and could, have returned the money during the last 12 months. Mr. Handley said that there was a policeman of the V division present, who would prove that the prisoner and the carman in charge of the other van got drunk, and that on the night they left Portman-square they were rolling about on Wandsworth Common, where the vans were found without any one to take care of them. The prosecutor at this stage of the proceedings said that he did not wish to hurt the man. Mr. Long—D.' you intend to withdraw tho charge Prosecutor—l do sir. i Mr. Long—Then he s discharged. The prisoner left the bar. ROBBERY BY A YOUTH.—Edwin Cheers, aged 16, wag charged with stealing a large qua n tity o f property, con slating of stays, muslin cloth, &c., the property of Mr. Wm. Haynes, No. 102, Edgeware-road. The prosecutor said that the prisoner was in his ser vice some months ago, and that a few days since he absconded. Soon after he left, he (prosecutor) disco vered that he had been robbed t o a cons i derable exte n t, and he found 42 duplicates in a d rawer o f th e room oc cupied by the prisoner. Mr. Long—Do the duplicates relate to any property you have lost ? Prosecutor —They do, sir. I have been to some of the pawnbrokers where some o f m y p ro p er ty h as been pledged, and I have identifi e d several articles. I belieVe I have lost much mire. Tine, 40 D, who apprehended the prisoner, said that on the prisoner being conveyed to the police-station be observed, " I took the things, and am very sorr y fur it." Mr. Long—Are any of the pawnbrokers here ? Policeman— No, sir. The prisoner was then remanded for the attendance of the pawnbrokers.
