Letters from nearly the whole of the leading country markets, held on Saturday, state that most kinds of Wheat, esp daily selected qualities, were i❑ good re quest, at<an advance in the quotations of is per quarter. blaring Corn and Flour were steady at full prices. Advices just at hand from the near continental ports are to the effect that very few transactions have taken place in Grain for shipment to Eughnd. Our New York let ter, dated the 29th ult., states that very little diepositien was shown to invest in bread-stuffs. Up to our mark€t last week, the arrivals of all grain of home produce were very moderate for the tiune of year. A few cargoes of Oats came i❑ from Ireland and Scotland. The foreign imports amounted to 7,616 quarters of wheat; 6 526 do. of Barley; 26,849 do. of Oats; 505 do. of Beans; 2,174 do. of Peas; 552 do. of Tares; 2.685 do. of Linseed; 1,581 do. of Rape Seed ; 102 do. of Mustard Seed ; 106 do. of sundry Seeds, and 570 sacks of flour. The supply of English Wheat received fresh up to this morning's market, from Essex, was very small. That from Kent, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, &c., was but mo derate. As the attendance of both town and country buyers was somewhat on the increase, and the stands scantily filled with samples, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was decidedly firm, at au ad vance in the quotations obtained oa Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter, and at which a good clearance was readily effected. The general condition of the supply of Wheat was not to say first-rate. The number of offers at hand from our agricultural districts to ship Wheat was comparatively small. With Foreign Wheat we were but moderately supplied. As several of the millers appeared to be ;short of stock, the sale for most descriptions was steady, though not to say brisk, and the currencies rose quite la per quarter, and at which rather a large business la as transacted. In floating car goes very few sales took place, yet the owners refused to sell except at is per quarter more money. The supply of Wheat actually afloat is small. The quantity of English Barley oa show was limited, that of foreign Moderately extensive. Malting and grinding parcels were selling somewhat freely, at full prices, but distilling sorts ruled dull at barely late rates. With Malt we Were fairly supplied. All descriptions moved off slowly. In prices, however, we have no change to notice. Very few home-grown Oats were on offer; but the supply of foreign was extensive. Really sound Corn was sell ing at full prices, but damp qualities were 6d per quarter lower. The sale for Beans and Peas was slow, at last week's prices. Indian Corn and Meal were neglected. In some instances, fine parcels of barrel Flour were 6d higher. All other kinds were quite as dear as last week. • CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The outport arrivals have been about 1,800 head, while by sea, from Ireland, 33 Oxen and 50 Sheep have arrived here. The supply of foreign Beasts and sheep here to day was again extensive, but of very midiing quality. The number of foreign Calves was small. From our Own grazing districts, the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this Morning were very extensive, even the time of year c onsidered; but the general quality was i n f er i or; i ndee d , scarcely a single really prime Scot was offering. The primest Beasts were in fair request, at last week's quo tations, viz., 3s 8d to 3s 10d per 81bs., but all other kinds of beef—as the dead markets were extensively supplied—moved off heavily, at a decline in the prices Of Monday last of 2d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we received about 2,400 Short Horns; from the eastern, western, and mid land counties, 900 Herefords, Runts, Downs, Irish Beasts, 84 0., and frora other parts of England, 1,000 of various breeds. The remainder of the bullock supply was chiefly derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of London. With all breeds of Sheep except Downs, we were well supplied. The quality, however, was indifferent. Gene rally speaking the Mutton trade was in a very sluggish state, at a fall in the quotations paid on this day se'nnight of 2d per Bibs. The highest figure for Mutton was 43 Per 81111. Although the supply of Calves was very moderate, the Veal trade ruled heavy, at Friday's de cline in value of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. Prime !mall Porkers sold steadil at full prices. In other kinds of Pork next to nothing was doing. TOTAL SUPPLY AT MARKET. 1 Pigs. Boasts. i Sheep. I J Calves. 9 IS I 29,240141 243 • FOREIGN SUPPLY.

WOOL. The public sales, at which about 50,000 bales have been offered, have, at length, been brought to a conclu sion. Those held in the past week have been very mode rately attended by buyers, and several large parcels have been withdrawn, Port, Philip at a decline of id. and New South Wales lid per lb. The total quantity disposed of at these auctions has rather exceeded 36 000 bales, being the largest quantity on record. The demand by private contract is in a very sluggish state. In the general quotations, however, we have no change to notice. Since this day se'rnight the imports have amounted to 2,686 bales from Sydney, 1,430 ditto from Hobart Town, 183 ditto from Rio, 49 ditto from Gib raltar, and 9 ditto from Pillau. T.ax.i.ow.

Mr. Nevite Daniels, n surgeon-dentist, residing at No. 20, Albert -terrace, Bayswater, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having been drunk and disor derly in Oxford-street. Police -constable 271 D stated, that on Saturday night about ten o'clock, he was on duty in Oxford -street, when he saw the prisoner sitting on the step of a door, near the Scotch Stores, in a state of intoxication, bawling as loud as be could for a cab. A cabman left the stand, and asked defendant if he wanted a cab to convey him home ? Defendant told him he did not, and be had better be off. Another cabman then came up, and asked defendant what he was going to stand? Defendant then put himself in a fighting attitude, and told the cabman to take it out of that, at the same time pushing his fists in his face. Witness, seeing that he was incapable of taking proper care of himself, conveyed him to the station. The defendant, in an excited wanner, said, with all due deference to the magistrate, he begged to deny inde fatigably the charge of drunkenness. He had been spending the evening at the Scotch Stores, when on leaving he was assailed by the cabman end some other persons, one of whom set a dog at him. He was much excited at this, but he denied being in liquor. Mr. BINGHAM said, whether defendant was drunk or not he could not tell, but if he conducted himself on iaturday night as he had done in the court, he (Mr. Bingham) had no doubt of his drunkenness, and should fine him ss. accordingly. BATTY'S EQUESTRIAN TROUPE IN HULL. The good people of Hull have been regaled these last two weeks with Batty's celebrated troupe of equestrian artists, whose unrivalled talents astonished and delighted a thoroughly wide-awake Yorkshire audience at the Queen's Theatre, on Monday evening, October Ist. The opening piece selected for the occasion was the grand mili'ary spectacle of Moollan and Goojerat, embracing a stud of highly trained steeds from the " Astley stud," and produced under the auspices of Mr. Caple and his dramatic corps, who at present occupy the lesseeship of the above theatre; and so great indeed was the reception of this magnificent spectacle, that it was received with thunders of applause from all parts of a densely crowded house, and the efforts of Mr. Batty were crowned with reiterated approbation, which was duly merited, seeing that he ordered all the wardrobe properties and appointments from his London theatre, in order to throw in all that spirit, energy, and effect that so prominently characterizes his magnificent London establishment, and we are happy to say that the tout ensemble was not only highly successful, but was greeted with the loudest approbation from a delighted and applauding audience. Among the many male and female artists of the arena who had the honour of making their debtit in Hull, we were much pleased to see some of our old London favourites. Madame M'Carte, that highly finished and talented lady equestrian, completely took the Yorkshiremen by storm, while Madlles. Valentine and Lafayette particularized themselves by securing a good round share of the well earned plaudits of a crowded house. Messrs. Moseley, Antoine, Mil ner, Bridges, &c. &c., and last. although not least, the clever little manoeuvring clown, Mr. Wheels, attracted by their superior abilities the generous approval of a gratified public. Above all, however. we must not omit stating the pleasure we feel in finding the great personal respect the public seems to hold for the character of the ever•enterprising Mr. Batty. For ourselves, we know not whether to admire him most as a man whose strict honesty and integrity has gained for him the estimation of a great number of many warm and sincere friends, or as the straightforward, bard-pushing, speculating manager, whose care seems to be the finished development of the equestrian art upo❑ a scale of scientific munifi cence. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY.— This line, as was expected, will not be open to the Blackpool terminus before the 29th instant, on which day the London and Dublin mails will arrive two and a half hours earlier than at present. The arrival of the mail will cause an alteration in the departure of all the country mails from this city—a dispatch which will be of considerable importance to corn dealers and traders in the several towns throughout the county. It is also understood that the Post-office authorities intend to do away with the mail car from Cork to Youghal, which has been the source of great annoyance to the gentry and inhabitants of the several towns between this city and Waterford. By the present plan letters posted in Cork must go to Waterford, and from that city thence to Lismore, causing a serious delay by this long and tedious route. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire, since his arrival at Lismore, has been in constant com munication with the Post-office authorities on this subject, representing the injury resulting by the present conveyance, and suggesting the propriety of running a coach and four horses direct from Cork to Waterford, as heretofore. The rt ques► of his Grace will, it is believed, be acceded to, and of the advantage of it there cannot be a second opinion —Cork Examiner. On Wednesday, Captain Lane, of Bury, was elected Governor of the newly-erec:ed borough gaol at MAnchester. NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.—On Thursday afternoon week, whilst a young gentleman was out on Windermere hike, near GraythwAite, in a sail boat, a whirlwind caught the sail, and she swamped an d went to the bottom. Fortunately the young gentleman had a life-preserver upon him, with which he kept up till an . other boat could be procured to rescue him f rom his perilous situation. At Glasgow, on Wednesday night, two la , is, who slept in a rocm in which a fire had been left bu ruing to dry the newly-plastered walls, were suffocated by the noxious fumes of the coals. Au unfortuna to lark, whose cage had been placed in the room, shafted their fate.

LAYS OF THE SCOTTISH CAVALIERS. Second Edition By W. E. Aytoun. A second edition of Mr. Aytoun's spirit-stirring ballads so scon after their first publication suffi ciently justifies the admiration expressed by our selves, and by many of our contemporaries. The public, generally speaking, are not prone to overlook eny thing at all approaching to real poetical merit, so long at least as the bard appeals to their hearts' emo tions in the homely but electric language of simpli city. This Mr. Aytoun has certainly done in his touching and effective " Lays of the Scottish Cava liers." In those lays there is nothing recondite, nothing beyond the instant appreciation of the most unscholarly, not a syllable removed from the appre hension of the least lettered yet still civilized portions of the community. This and the attractive character of his subject, beautified as it is by graceful imagery, sonorous diction, a chiming and resonant rhyme, and a truly exquisite felicity of rhythm, accounts for the rapid popularity of the poet's recent composi tions. He has carved for himself a niche in the temple of his country's literature. What renders the present edition particularly interesting, is a masterly argument appended to it—in examina tion of the statements in Mr. Macaulay's " History of England," regarding John Grahame of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee. The decisive but measured tone of this Appendix is in every respect truly admirable, and attests no less the strength of Mr. Aytoun's convictions than the suavity of his temper and the imperturbable serenity of his judgment. Regarding Claverhouse as a man of noble character, whose me mory has been most unjustly reviled, and whose ac tions have been distorted into all manner of atrocities by a multitude of successive annalists, from Wodrow to Macaulay, Mr. Aytoun demonstrates the fact that this same Wodrow's evidence is altogether inadmis sible, and that Mr. Macoulay's servile attention to him (Wodrow) as an authority, coupled with his (Mr. Macftulay's)slovenly annotations and wilful omissions, yield reasons enow to justify an examination of the accuracy or inaccuracy of the statements made in his recently published " History of Eng land" regarding Claverhouse. Our author, namely, Mr. A 3 toun, lays particular stress upon the circumstance of Mr. Macaulay speaking of James Graham, of. Claverhouse ; James Graham being, in fact, the famous Montrose, and John Graham being Claverhouse. It is observed, and with considerable show of reason, that this apparently trivial blunder is in reality of much significance, Mr. Aytoun insisting that it could never, by any chance, have been com mitted by any man really familiar with the history of Scotland—he might just as well, he intimates, have spoken of the good Sir Joshua, of Douglas, or of To bias Randolph, Earl of Moray. Besides this, Mr. Macaulay designates Claverhouse "rapacious ;" whereupon Mr. Aytoun challenges the historian to give any authority whatever fur the imputation con veyed by the epithet. The tragical incident relating to the execution of Brown is all but proved to be a fabrication ; and Mr. Aytoun then turns from the treatment of Claverhouse to the treatment of James the Second by Macaulay. As to the account given by the latter of the " cruelties " perpetrated by ,that unfortunate monarch tefore his accession, while in authority at Edinburgh, the present commentator, familiar with documents so intimately appertaining to the annals of his country, and so accessible to him in his position at the University of Edinburgh, asserts (p. 340) that the original records of the Privy Council, still preserved in the archives of that city ("and which," says he "I have examined very minutely"), taken in connexion with Fountain hall's explanatory Diaries, furnish ample proof that " the charges brought against King James are without foundation." As to those alleged fiery persecutions of James ; " which," says Mr. Macaulay," waxed hotter than ever from the day on which he became Sove reign," Mr. Aytoun thus continues : " That day (namely the day of ascension) was the 6th of Febtuary, and on the 26th of the same month he issued atoll pardon and indemnity to all offenders below the rank of heritors, (with the exception only of those who were actually guilty of the murders of Archbishop Sharpe, Mr. Pierson, and two others), and that clogged with no other condition than the taking of the oath of allegiance. The proclamation was published on the 2d of March, and on the 14th the Privy Council ordered all prisoners vrhatsoever to be set at liberty, upon their abjuring the fanatical declaration of war, and likewire solumnly giving their oaths never to the against his Majesty or his authority.' Surely never yet was perse cution inaugurated by suck liberal measures as these! It is right to observe, that the reader will fail to discover the smallest mention of them in the pages of Mr. Macaulay." Such flagrant perversions of the truth as are fur nished by such an omission as this of the splendid and generous amnesty granted by King James the Second on his becoming Sovereign, and such another mon strous omission (referred to by ourselves scarcely a week back as recorded in Ebony) of the great naval victory, gained by the same heroic monarch, when Duke of York, off the coast, near Harwich, may go very far indeed to justify Mr. John O'Connell's remark inihis new work (" Recollections," Sze.), that Mr. Macaulay is now publishing " a great Whig pamphlet." For, assuredly, a work written in this unfair and uncandid spirit is rather the work of a partizan than of a dispassionate and impartial his torian. No matter how magnificent may be the rhetoric of the books, or how various may be their attractions as mere literary compositions, the facts of their worthlessness, as authorities, must, if proven in many more instances, at last glare upon the public knowledge, and lead to their consignment to the book-shelf, if not to the butter-shop and the trunk. makers. That party spirit was recognizable in the work we more than hinted in our criticism upon the first volume, a criticism printed in these columns shortly after its first publication. Since then our opinion that Mr. Macaulay had sunk the annalist in the partisan in his estimate of the Prince of Orange and of the last of the crowned Stuarts, has been confirmed not only in reference to James 11. and William 111., but in regard to other matters treated of in the second volume of his history. Considering the resplendent talents of Mr. Macaulay, this is a subject most deeply to be regretted. At the same time we cannot but feel grateful to any one who, like Mr. Aytoun, shall eluci date with the calmness of a gentleman and the lucidity of a logician the various and intricate inac curacies of his production. At all cost we would know that the national mind is not fascinated into error. THE WRONGS OF POLAND. A poem with the above designation has just issued from the press, recounting in three cantos of blank verse the wrongs and sufferings of Sarmatia, and com prising among other incidents a description of the Siege of Vienna. The effusion, which does more credit to the heart and the historical knowledge than to the poetical ability or rhythmical skill of the writer, is dedicated of course to the Noble Lord the Member for Rlarylebone. Many of the notes are not only interesting but really valuable. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, attended by the Viscountess Canning, Lady in Waiting, Hon.

EVENING, AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.-By the arrival of the Royal Mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Stone, we are in possession of ;:deices from New York to the 29th ult. Owing to this being an irregular mail, she did not touch at Halifax. Previously to leaving New York the Hibernia was thoroughly overhauled and repaired. Throughout the passage she experienced very heavy weather from the eastward, which has rather delayed her arrival. The alleged correspondence between Mr. Clayton, the Secretary of State, and Mr. Crampton, the Bri tish Charge d'Affaires, relative to the Mosquito ter ritory, is, according to the newspaper organ of Mr. Clayton, a sheer invention. From the National In telligence, the paper referred to, we quote the follow ing _ _ "A statement is going the rounds of the Opposition press that an angry correspondence has arisen between this Government and the British Charge d'Affaires, Mr. Crampton, about the British claim to the Mosquito coast. The whole story is a sheer invention. In this respect it is very like another ridiculous story circu lated by tho Democratic press, that the Secretary of State had advised that Madame Poussin s hould not be received at the President's, and that M.. Poussin re- sented it by insulting the Government. It is hardly necessary to say that there is no foundation -whatever for such a statement, or for any part of it. T here were no unkind feelings between M. Poussin and Or ty member of the Cabinet. Tho sole cause of our Gover Lament taking offence is to be found in the correspondence: a M. Pous sin alone. The Opposition papers have begs filled with other fabrications, which we hardly deer% worthy of notice; such as that Washington's farewell. address has been sent as part of the instructions to ottr Foreign Ministers; that the Cabinet is divided and L not harmo nious in its action, &c." _ _ M. Poussin, the French Minister, had left Wash. ington for New York, where he intend( td awaiting instructions from his Government. " Previous to leaving Washington he mr tee repeated efforts to have an interview with the PI visident and Secretary of State, and that for thi s lrurposo the friendly services of Mr. Crampton, the Brit is h Charg6, were interposed. They were unsuccessful, however, as neither General Taylor nor Mr. Clayton tht 'tight it pro per, after the steps that had already been is ken, to hold any intercourse which might become of an official cha racter with M. Puussin." The Advices from Canada are scanty, a ad not very late. The New York Bun gives a telegraphic item from their correspondent at 'Montreal, u oder date of the 29th ult., which we quote : " News has just reached here that the riot a as Bytown have been renewed. The two parties have , anet, and a terrible conflict ensued. Numbers have bee at dreadfully wounded, and eight lives are already ref eirted to be lost." There was a rumour of an intention to remove the Administration from Montreal. A decision had at length been given in the case of the Astor-place rioters. The result was a, verdict of guilty against all who were captured on that lamen table occasion of party violence. The royal mail steam-ship Severn had, arrived at Mobile with 1,101,000 dollars in coin, ;mostly for England. From the capital ,of Mexico, it is an nounced that the new tariff would soon 1 wcome law. Yucatan accounts mention that England v as about to intervene for the pacification of the Pe a.insula, by virtue of a contract with the President of ti so Republic, on condition that the fort of Bucalos and jurisdiction be ceded to England. The steam-ship Crescent City arrive eel at New York on the 26th tilt., with advices from Chagres to the 16th, Kingston, Jamaica, to the 28th, r ind Panama to the Bth. She brings no intelligence fry = the gold districts. The steam-ship California we s to leave Panama for San Francisco on the 29th, and would take on all passengers. The weather at P znama was very pleasant, and the cholera had entiveicy ceased. The price of passage on the river Chagrea was very much reduced, owing to a steamboat havin g made a successful trip to Gorgona. We have Havannah advices to the 16th ult. Ac cording to the papers there were great Tejoicings throughout the island on account of the successful efforts of the United States Government to break up the " secret expedition." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, SEPT. 29.--Stocks were heavy to-day, and only a moderato amount of business - transacted.

Simpson, of that port, entered the Humber Dock, at Hull, almost a perfect wreck. It appears that on the preceding Sunday night, about nine o'clock, she came into the Humber within the Bull Sand Floating-light, at Spurn, it blowing a perfect gale at the time, and conse quently the master ran in for refuge. The Stanton came in contact with .he brig Ruby, also belonging to North Shields, wh en th e f ormer b rig carr i ed away her bowsprit, and after she was brought up both her masts fell aft, splintered almost to atoms; her head, bulwarks, Sic., were a:lso stove in ; the jolly-boat was rendered perfectly useless; the sails, running rigging, Re., are also in a a said condition. No lives were lost. The brig is 1 : 1 0,sv undergoing repairs. The schooner Albion, of Whit by, laden with stone, struck on the Trinity Sand, in the Humber, about the same time, and went down. The crew, after mnch difficulty, were saved, and forwarded to their respective homes. The Humber pilots speak of the gale as most terrific, and their fine vessels were very useful in rendering assistance to disabled vessels. The pilot boat No. 3 (Humber) took in tow a billy boy in a sinking state, and safely towed her into this port, to the great satisfaction of the master and his crew. Several other vessels ran ashore in and near the Humber, as also the following, some of which were attended by a melancholy loss of life. Near Coatham, where the John Saltcoats was lost with all hands, another vessel met with a similar fate on Sunday morning —every soul perished with her. From the dimensions of the wreck she is supposed to have been a co,lier, and to have had a crew of 10 hands. At daybreak on Saturday a sloop was discovered by some of the Colne fishermen wrecked on the Gunfleet Sands, and it is greatly to be feared that all hands and some - passengers met with a watery grave. In the course of Sunday intelligence was communicated, at Newcastle, of the total loss of the Hero steamer, which left Shields in the early part of the week for Stettin. On the 27th ult., when off the coast of Norway, she was struck by a tre mendous sea, which completely disabled her engines, as well as sweeping everything off her deck. Shortly after wards she foundered. The crew were saved by the brig Symmetry.—Hull Advertiser.

THE IRON TRADE OF SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.— DUDLEY, SATURDAY EVENING.— The last of the quar terly meetings of the iron and coal masters of this dis trict was hold this afternoon at the Hotel, and was well attended, although characterised by the same langour which prevailed at all the previous meetings. The prices, however, which were agreed upon at the prelimi nary meeting were not abandoned, although the sales were few. Of pig iron, which constitutes the principal article of sale at this meeting, there was comparatively very little sold, although it is very well known that the stocks in the manufacturers' workshops are very low. There was at this, as at the meeting at Birmingham, an idea that a reduction would take place, and purchasers held back so long as there was the most remote chance of obtaining more ad van t ageous terms. In this expec tation they were disappointed. Tho Shropshire iron and coal masters were also:firm, and a general determi nation was evinced not to yield to a further reduction. Pig iron may, therefore, be quoted at 60s. per ton, and common bar iron at 5/. 1.55., prices below which it must ba injurious to the makers to accept. The settlement of accounts throughout the meetings were satisfactory, and if a demand could only be created, there are abundant means of supply. A difference still exi3ts between the coal miners and their employers in some parts of the district. The thin coal miners have notice of an advance of 9d. per day, a demand which the masters consider themselves fully justified in resisting in the present state of the trade, and which they will resist to the utmost. In Tipton and one or two other places the masters are said to hare yielded, but the great body of the trade will not submit to the demand. THE 13EBRIOND.5ET MURDER.—Saturday morning Mr. Binns, the solicitor to Frederick George Manning, made another application to the Commissioners of Po lice for more money to carry on the defence of his client. He contends that all property found on Maria Manning, which cannot be identified as belonging to O'Connor, ought to be restored to Manning, the husband. Mrs. Manning had in her possession several valuable rings, brooches, pins, and a variety of trinkets of considerable value. She had also some French Rentes, which she alleged purchasing at the instance of Mr. O'Connor. Manning had two gold watches and other property, which were retained by the police. The Commissioners of the Police, with their usual punctuality, instantly replied to Mr. Binn's application, and sent him 31. 10s., the utmost which they could send him. As for the remainder of the property, they recommended him to apply to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, who would use his discretien in its disposal. Mr. Binns accordingly forvardcd an application to Sir George Grey, representing that the whole of the pro perty found on the accused, and not belonging to O'Con nor, should be instantly restored to Manning. The sum already granted to Mr. Binns for Manning's defence amounts to 331. 10s., which will not even pay the fees of counsel. Mr. Solomon has had the same amount of money to defend Mrs. Manning. The removal of the prisoners from llorsemonger-lane gaol to Newgate will take place on Wednesday next, which has been com municated to them. Both of them seem reluctant to leave their present quarters, and since the announce ment have been rather down-hearted. --- THE COUNTESS OF LANDSFELT'S (LOLA. MONTES) BAlL.—Summonses have been issued against the bail of the Countess of Landsfelt, Messrs. Davies, father and son, attornies, of Notting-hill, to be heard at the Marl borough-street Court on Wednesday next, the defendants being called upon to show cause why they should not pay over to the Crown the sum of 5001. each, being the amount of their recognizance for the appearance of Mrs. Heald, Countess of Landsfelt, to answer a charge of bigamy. The proceedings, it is understood, do not de pend on the co-operation of the prosecuting parties, but take place as a matter of course, the Receiver-General, Mr. Wray, requiring the money to be paid over to him on behalf of the Crown, in default whereof he takes the course pointed out in the 45th section of the Police Act, which indicates the way the amount of estreated recog nizances may be recovered before a magistrate. It is now generally understood that Mrs. Ileald declines to stand the chance of a trial, and, therefore, nothing fur ther can be done in the ease as far as the charge of bigamy is concerned. It is reported that the bail have received the amount for which they became responsible. FILTER FOR WATER.—A very simple means exists by which any poor family may filter all the water required, viz., by using a large p a n or tub as the tank,and filtering the water (by ascension) through a sponge stuffed into the hole in the bottom of flower-pots, usin g two pots, the lower one being half filled with charcoal, . one and loosely covered with thin flannel, the upper placed in it so as to sink the flannel withit, and then secured by a string; nothing can be more simple or more easily cleansed. THE ALTERED PLAN OF :BRIDGEWATER•IIOUSE, CLEVELAND ROW. —A central hall has been formed, and the principal staircase moved to the side. The chief motive of the alteration is understood to be a desire to render the gallery and its approaches independent of the rest of the building, it being Lord Ellesmere's intention to afford the greatest possible facilities to the public for visiting his fine collection. A separate staircase has been constructed, with this end in view, at the north east corner, and is surmounted by a campanile.—The Builder.

B. Crompton, Esq of Farnworth, who, with his friends S. Blair, Esq., M.l'. for Bolton, and Edward Woolmer, Esq., of Exeter, with the assistance of a few occasional visitors, has bagged, from the Ist of September to the 9th of October, 1,502 grouse, 642 hares, 9 blackeocks, 23 ptarmigan, 18 snipes, and 1 plover ; total, 2,195. Mr. Compton never commences shooting until the Ist of September, conse quently the birds are strong upon the wing and in full feather. It is thought that it his plan was more generally adopted, instead of slaughtering the cheepers and young birds in the month of August, that the lovers of the trigger would contribute much to the true enjoyment of their sport. Game has been very abundant at Carrour, and it is mainly attributable to the vigilance of Mr. Cromptou's keepers in the destruction of vermin and birds of prey. In three years they have killed 22 eagles, 35 foxes, 6 foulmarts, 17' weasels, 152 hawks and crowa, 5 badgers, and 5 otters, making 242 vermin. The weather during the month of September has been re markably fine, and from the Ist of October to the 9th the nights have been cold and frosty, but the days bright and clear, with a brillia n t sunshine ; indeed, such 0 , splendid autumn was scarcely ever recollected.—Morning Post. The Right lion. the Speaker of the House of Commons has returned to his seat in Hampshire from a tour of Two in the north. • SPANISH LIABILITIES —FRANCE AND BUENOS AYRES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The rebuke given in the City article of your estimable journal, the 11th instant, to an evident mischievous, if not culpable abuse of the invaluable privilege allowed by the British press of free expres sion of the humblest claimants for justice from power ful delinquents, confirms the high; opinion univer sally entertained of your disinterestedness and impartiality. It must be admitted that without these features the all-powerful press would be but " sounding brass er a tinkling symbol ;" and it behoves not only those who are directly benefited by its honest advocacy, but the whole world, loudly to pay honour where honour is due. Thus much for the recent attempt to cajole the public with visionary and false notions of Buenos Ayres obligations; but other subjects equally striking imperatively require notice. Among your extensive readers, "several holders of Spanish bonds in Plymouth," in January this year, solicited attention to their position, as creditors of Spain, daily assailed with the unintelligible and selfish interference of speculative holders of the inferior and lowest class of Spanish liabilities, requiring to place their ware in the same category as one of the deficient dividends, which, in the hands of a few unscrupulous collectors of November, 1836, with the collusion of a Spanish Minister, Carrasco, received payment of the same in 1843, at the rate of 2111. 13s. 41. per cent., while the primary claim (the active debt, with arrears of coupons) received but 4s. per cent., and that alone to 1840! A correspondent, "A Creditor of Spain," in your paper of the 14th Jan. last, alludes to this uncalled for concession, which having been allowed without remonstrance, had sub jected bona fide creditors to indefinite evasion, and the probability of being eventually cheated by a repetition of a similar fraud to that already effected. The indignation universally felt cannot be more forcibly expressed than by a short conversa tion in the French Chamber of Deputies, recorded in the Siècle 26th of May, 1845, between Manguin and M. Guizot, on this astounding topic, and which may, in fact, palliate the unjust invective levelled by MM. against England. " N. Manguin di mande A M. le Ministre des Affaires Etrangeres si l'Espagne paie les intents de la dette de 80 millions qu'elle a contractee envers la France. "M. Guizot—Le capital de cette dette est de 98 millions; les interets ont ete payes jus-qu'a la fin de 1834. " M. Manguin—L'Angleterre avoit sur l'Espagne une creance de 900,0001. sterling. Elle a obteuu pour cette creance un interet de 5 per cent. pendant que la France n'a plus que 3 per cent. Qu'un Anglois soit robjet de quelque persecution aussitot le representant de son pays eleve la voix, et justice est rendue et des indemnit43 sont accordees pendant que lesFrancois qui r‘sident ou qui voyagent en Espagne sont en butte a des vexations et it de mauvais traitemens de la part de l'autoriti. "R'elament ils ?—ou he lea eeoute pas. S'adrassent ils I notre Ambassadeur pour se faire, rendre la jus tice ils sont econduits. " M. Guzot—Quant a notre dette elle ne peut etre contertie. Les finances Espagnolles sont en ce moment aux mains d'un homme honnete qua la France doit alders dans sea projets d'amelioration." Let me, then, Sir, as I trust an honest cosmopolite, entreat my fellow countrymen in England not to be led astray by hopes of illicit gain. To deserve justice we must act justly, and as it is requisite for the well-being of the world that Spain should be a free and independent state, let all further attempts to weedle her statesmen to iniquitous and ruinous concessions cease, and the real obligations of her public debt be alone attended to for the instant relief of her credulous and confiding creditors. I am, Sir, with esteem, A FOREIGN BONDHOLDER, And Advocate for fair Dealing. London, Oct. 13, 1849. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUS. Sin,—ln the current number of the Quarterly Re view, in an article entitled " Peace Agitators," bottom of page 459, after grossly libelling the noble " Psi merston," and then with a flourish of words veering round to attack the unfortunate " Hungarians," it says— " Kl/4 I the Dictatorshij and flies to ./kossuth throws up Lp, escape the gallows. Georgey, a man of courage and duct, succeeds him, only to see that the causeis des perate, and to surrender. A complete consternation takes place, and the Hungarian insurrection, to which Lord John Russell apologised for giving its right name, is finally crushed, like that of Sicily; nothing remaining for the victors but to show that they are as merciful as they are politic and powerful. Nay, their magnanimity has been as repidly as signally displayed, for the Em peror Nicholas, as if to confound all the maniacal abuse of the Liberal press, is already withdrawing his troops." Now, Sir, this is fine language for even the Quarterly. Don't you think the writer, if he has any sense of shame, blushed when he read how magnanimous this worthy Emperor had been ! who, to gratify his in ordinate lust for blood, has thought fit to menace Turkey to give; up the llungarian refugees, in order that he might have the satisfaction of consigning them to the scaffold ? I hope that with your usual ability you will refute some of the calumnies con tained in the Quarterly. Yours respectfully, F. Stoke Newington Literary and Scientific Society, Oct. 11, 1849. TRANSPORTATION or CONVICTS.—On Saturday, in consequence of the refusal of the colonists at the Cape and Sydney to receive convicts from England, orders were issued from the Homo Office for the convicts now waiting to be expatriated, to be forwarded to Morton Bay and Norfolk Island. To the latter place a body of 200 out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital are about to be sent out. Most advantageous offers have been made to these men to induce them to locate at Norfolk Island; on the passage out they will act as a convict guard, and on their arrival in the settlement perform duty as mili tary colonists. The number of convicts awaiting trans portation is 1,400. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE READING RAILWAY. — An inquiry into a most melancholy accident on this line of railway was instituted on Friday, at the village of Shalford, before Mr. Wood, one of the coroners for the county. Within the last two or three weeks a man named Josiah Sheet was employed on the line for gene ral purposes. On Tuesday evening, about ten minutes before eight, an engine attached to the eight o'clock train was returning to the Shalford station, after taking in water. The deceased was on the engine, and just before it stopped at the points he got off to attend to them. It seemed that the engine had been turned on to the top of the line by some other party, and, as prepara tions were being made to take off the last carriage, moans were heard. A porter went back along the line, when the deceased was discovered under the fourth first-class carriage. With all speed the poor fellow was extricated when he was found to be seriously mutilated; the flesh of the left arm was stripped off, and the bone broken in two places, the spine of the back was fractured, and the left leg cut asunder close up to the hip. His body was otherwise seriously torn and bruised, and how be sur vived his frightful injuries so long is a matter of much surprise. When extricated he was found to be perfectly sensible. As may be supposed, his sufferings were most severe, and about eleven o'clock on the same night ho died. It is conjectured that when he descended from the engine ho missed his footing and fell under or near the wheels of the carriages. The jury returned a ♦er dict of "Accident Death," imputing not_the least blame to:the company. GRAND CONCERT IN THE CITY HALL.—Last night, the City Hall was the scene of one of the finest musical entertainments which was e►er enjoyed in Glasgow. Madame Sontag, with whom the London musical public was so enraptured several months ago, was, of course, the chief attraction; but when we inform those who were not present that Signor Lablache, Signor Calzolari, Signor F. Lablache, and Signor Bel letti, with the famed pianist M. Thalberg, took part in the performances, it will readily be admitted that there were likewise other attractions of a scarcely less in ferior description; and, as might have been expected, the area and galleries were all well filled—the former particularly—with a:highly respectableland fashionable audience. With regard to Signor Lablachisand the other gentlemen, it is enough to say, that they Ming with all then tonal ability and effect, and the satisfaction and del , ght of the audience was exhibited in the frequency with which they were encored; but as for Madame Son tag, we only repeat what seemed to be the general opinion, that she even excelled the high expectations which had been formed of her. On every occasion she was encored, and at the end of the first part, instead of repeating " Emits Ognor," she sang " Home, sweet home," in a manner which was perfectly ravishing. We are very much mistaken if a second concert by the same parties would not be more successful than the first.— Glasgow Paper. TUB EARLY-CLOSING ASSOCIATION.--This society has nearly completed the organization of its several dis trict committees for the winter. Fur this purpoe four public meetings have been held during the last week, making altogether twelve within the space of a month. The attendance in nearly every instance has been good, in most cases crowded. The several meetings were addressed by Messrs. Roberts, Bird, Harrison, Hall, Hanks, Young, and other members of the central board, and resolutions were passed at each, expressive of con , fidence in the association. An evening school for the indigent has been esta blished in the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, in connexion with King's College, and every theological student is required, in rotation, to give his services as teacher. "Be prosperous and happy, never require our services, and we will remain your friends." 'lbis is not what society says, but it is often the principle on which it acts.—Eliza Cook's Journal. THE ATTEMPTED PARRICIDE AT CHISWICK.-- From inquiries made of the medical gentlemen attending Mr. Moukhouse, sen., on Saturday, it was ascertained that he was still progressing favourably, .although he cannot yet be pronounced out of danger. " Mr. Showman," said a greenhorn at a menagerie, " can the leopard change his spots?" " Yes, sir," re plied the individual who stirs up the wild beasts; "when he is tired of one spot he can easily go to another." The Rev. W. Jay, of this city, who is in his 82d year, preached a funeral sermon at Kingawood Chapel, Bristol, on Sunday sew:light. —Bath thrald.
