~, Z ._._, TO THE ELECTORS OF 6017THWAIL THE lamented death of your late Representa tive, Sir William Molesworth, has again caused a vacancy in the representation of Southwark. At the late election I abstained from going to the poll, the time for preparation having been so short. I have again been solicited to allow myself to become a candidate, Which I cheerfully accede to, and announce my intention of this time going to the poll, feeling satisfied that the electors of the large and important borough of Southwark, to whom my sentiments are so Well known, will this time do me the honour of electing me as their representative. I object to a personal canvass, thinking that every elector should exercise his right of voting unswayed and unbiassed, and the only expenses I will be put to will be those necessary to the poll. I shall, however, have pleasure in attending any distr et meetings Where my presence may be required ; and, it the electors approve of lay sentiments, they will send me to Parliament ; if not, they will choose a better man. This is the way, in my opinion, elections -Should be conducted, especially in the metropolis. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient humble servant, CHARLES NAPIER.

ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. - THIS EVENING, and every evening during the Week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them- Selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them bn the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that ho sees any one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ;sa melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and fashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con iinuons repetition. He believes that no professor of his art bas at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. Ire would attribute that success to three causes ; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors 'he results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of Perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has snared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment •f the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those Who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity s'aould not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by r esortin g to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, t he designing have succeeded in making dupes of the eredtzlous. The 937 l e tt ers on t h e subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatr e np to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst m any of them b ear melancholy evidence to the dangers which r'tend a b e li e f i n the superstitious nonsense of the " Spin esidua." Jud g i ng s i mply by the correspondence which has asaisi!lted, Professor Anderson' s ex p os é o f sp i r it- rapp i ng an d s il lustration of the s o - ca ll e d t a bl e p h enomena, have pro rueceeed a sensatasn unequalled by an y p rev i ous a tt emp t t o ex a misch: Levous an d i mpudent juggle. It is impossible er Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the se.?4nsuunicat'sons which reach him on the subject. He regrets w‘l:.ot many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen frosn their position in society and their well-known in eileeasas attainments, he would least have expected to have sseeen converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so sa , s ir il i s s t. ;: p c p e i p n t g ible of being controverted and disproved. Every "en ing. from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, h ow t a bl es can be made to rap is exhibited and a lucidated. It is respectfully requested that this I?nblic exposition will be accepted generally as Professor -11_ n derson's only mo d e of replying at full length to his ,i l losultit ndinous correspondents. 11 e regrets that the ernes of th e great and learned of the land should eve been made to figure in the documents emanating , Surol:n the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem r 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri ual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American ePirit-rapper Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has Witueseed, and Lord B roug h am ac k now l e d ges hi mse lf to b e thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the solution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits 'who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the Above, has recently left England, and the following account of Who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: This young man, who is a Seotchman by birth, and now 4 4 Italy, is 'A remarkable medium for all the manifestations Without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout t d h , Anglo- Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2.000 per annum if he would perform at his museum in New b e Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could t be aght. H e was somewhat astonished when his offer was d"ecl. Hume, on t e lli ng the fact in London lately, simply ahonestly remarked, that the money would have been very . s c s e _ePtabl e to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or 07r, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid si "jog his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose 11 8 i j l e• The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. g r eatest into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is tslnl f the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is car enrPri sing to find such a paragraph ins this in the arigh t article of en established journal, the editor of whom is b 0 supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe tai e s Pri c-rapping —does spirit-rapping gain or lose by kee•?:ession to its adherents? and, with Ba r nu m 's endorse to b 6 ..0 it, is thi s bill, d rawn on pu bli c credulity, more likely but e Negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of 'Mend have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross 3 • I vi ndle, when be finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the ap„ 4 .• N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and ioa book on the subject, he considers it ts be time for 1 , to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which V s e ffected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the D a °.7-4 . 04 frig Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir i n Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, ssit?t°4lpany with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that sw ea the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that Di:it-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad h e r Poses. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, s p ,Wever, tere is an anwer to Sr avid's letter from on 4 1 1 . 0 was present when he and s Lord Brougham had their 1 4 , 412 03 with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the ss eie (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most .-'traordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac trion was conveyed by au invisible agency to my hand and s; ell to. Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's "ght baud apart from any person, it played an air through eta - h.' With such a statement, printed for the edification of t sT s People of the 19th century, with the facts before us that to meet talented men of the day are permitting themselves g ss e ° deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers —that the l a3 t novelist of the age is now eged in making it the t of a new work, and that a pp ` spiritual conye , ut h ion n " bane actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin . s : a , ef• essor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual cs of America, as given bas him nightly at the Lyceum, will t: received by the people of England as genuine honest at 4414gpitesrst.In o provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual hathe course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have ted the Ly ee n m Theatre,—a larg er num b er , it i s b e li eve d , s a a e has eve r b e f ore b een assem bl e d w i th i n its walls in so „'Sert a period.

Otchakoff, which forms the key to ;Nicolaieff, i 4 thus described by the Assemblee Nationale :--- "Otchakoff, but for its strategical position, would be considered at this day as an unimportant village. Kin bourn, the Kilburun of the Tartars, is not even a village. These two points, previous to the present war, 'were scarcely fortified, and. the most recent =Counts only mention the existence of one battery at Otchakoff ; but since the bombardment of Odessa the Russians compre hended the necessity of defending that passage, and the siege of Sebastopol has taught as the promptitude with which the enemy can raise fortifications, and make up in that respect for lost time. The forts of Kinbourn fell into the hands of the allies on the 17th. If Otchakoff, as it appears probable, be attacked in its turn, the ,de fence it can offer will not. be of any length. The cap ture of these two fortresses will open the - passage of the mouth of the Dnieper to the Anglo-French squadrons, and in consequence the road to Nioolaieff and Khereon. The occupation of . Otchakoff would, moregver, permit the despatch of a land expedition against the first named town. Nicolaieff forms the point of a triangle, having the mouth of the Dnieper for basis, and of which the citadel of Otchakoff and the town of Kherson occupy the other extremities.. The roads which conduct to them do not' appear to offer any serious' obstacles." Our contemporary thus describes Kherson " Kherson, the capital of the government of the same name, was for many years' the central point of the naval and commercial resources of Russia in the Black Sea. There were to be found at the same time arsenals and dockyards. Sebastopol and Nicolaieff sucbessively de prived it of its importance as a military establishment. Later it was abandoned by commerce iu favour of Odessa, ' and its population, which once oomprised from 15,000 to 18,000 souls, fell to 6,000 or 8,000 Kherson has no other importance than that of being situated on the high road which leads from the centre of the empire to Pere kop." • . The Pays expresses itself on the same sat in the, following terms : "The telegraph leads us to believe that the allied fleets are at this moment at anchor in the depthinf the mouth of the Dnieper. The distance from that point to Kber son is but 15 leagues. Is it the intention of the allied admirals to press on. towards that town ? We are un able to reply, but the mouths of the Dnieper offer two or three'principal branches, of which the medium depth is from 22 to 25 English feet. At Kherson theriver is one mile broad and 50 feet in depth, and it would be no small triumph to destroy the creation of Potemkin, which would disperse its 12,000 inhabitants, and would transform into ruins its dockyards, arsenals, barracks, and magazines. It must not be overlooked that the capture of Otchakoff by the allies would open the road by land to Nicolaieff, and the former town is, in the opinion of the hioniteur, unable to offer any serious resistance. The first success at Kinbourn facilitated every other enterprise in that direction, and will keep in check all. the Russian forces scattered over the country from Odessa to Perekop." A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Hamburg News, says : " The last news from Nicolaieff, to the 6th, announces that the Emperor will not proceed to Odessa as be in tended, but will remain at Nicolaieff until the move ments and ultimate objects of the allied fleets in the Black Sea are positively known. On the 3d the Empe ror inspected two battalions of the militia of Orel ; and on the sth his Majesty went out to meet the crews of the fleet, Nos. 37, 38, and 39, who were arriving from Sebastopol (Nos. 34, 35, and 36 having previously come in). Batteries and bastions have been built at Nicolaieff, under the directions of the Czar and the Grand Duke Constantine. These batteries are specially prepared for throwing incendiary shells of a new description, and which are said to carry three English miles. It is said that if only one of these shells falls on a vessel it must set her on fire." ELEOTION FOR HUNTINGDONSHIRE. HUNTINGDON, Oct. 23.—The election of a member of Parliament to supply the vacancy in the representation caused by the elevation of Lord Mandeville, the late member, to the dukedom of Manchester, took place this day at Huntingdon ; but the proceedings were almost of a routine character. The county has for a period of 18 years been in the hands of the Conservatives, but lately the Liberal party has been gaining strength, and on the demise of the late Duke of Manchester an organisation was attempted, and resulted in a semi -consent from John Moyer Heathcote, Esq., of Conington House, to stand at the next vacancy ; but eventually that gentleman declined to contest the county on the present occasion, and the consequence has been that Mr. James Rust, of Alconbury House, enters Parliament without opposition. There was a total ab sence of all the demonstrations usual at foregone elections fur Huntingdonshire. The friends of Mr. Rust met a t the Fountain,. an d procee d e d thence to the place of election, at. the Town-hall ; Mr. Hcathcote and his frien is met at the Georo.e, and also attei.ded the hall. • R. Hussey Hussey, esq., proposed, and the Rev. Jas. Linton ' of Hetninglord, s e c on d e d, th e nom i nation of Mr. James Rust, and each passed a high eulogium upon Mr. Rust's private character and business habits, the latter being evinced by his discharge of his duties as chairman of the Quarter Sessions, and other public offices. No other candidate being proposed, Mr, Rust was de clared duly elected. In making his acknowledgments he said that he should, in taking his seat in Parliament, rank himself amongst those who recognise the Earl of Derby as their leader; but in so far declaring himself a party man, he wished it to be understood that he claimed for himself the privilege of most careful examination of all measures brought before Parliament, and he could assure theta that ail that were likely.to be beneficial should have his support. A vote of thanks to the sheriff concluded the pro ceedings, and the meeting dispersed. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCIOBEit 24, 1855. NOTICE OF DIVIDEND. B ANK of DEPOSIT, 3, Pall-mall East, London.

A prophecy has for a thousand years hung over the East,—for a thousand years Constantinople has believed that it saw in dim prophetic vision its ultimate lords. That city of decaying empires has always dreamt of the barbarians who were to come —a race fiercer, more crafty, and. more enduring than that which overthrow old Rome. The great Leo withstood the full tide of Saracen invasion, though, while Charles Martel has been handed c'town by fame for defeating a predatory band of Arabs, the deeds of the great Byzantine Emperor, the real saviour of Europe, are almost forgotten. Constantinople rolled back the tide of Saracen con quest, and from that hour the empire of the Caliphs began to decline. The Imperial city was doomed to fall seven centuries later beneath the sway of the race which had succeeded to the Arab inheritance of empire. But neither when the Isaurian Emperor was threatened by the fleets of the Caliph, nor when the the last Palveologus perished by the Otto man sword, was there any belief that the Moslem was .he true destined lord of Constantinople. Superstition and history both pointed to the North. Ne,v, Rome would fall under a race which should 'come like the Goth and Lombard from the great nursery of nations. When, in the ninth century, the name of Russia was first heard by the pilots of the Euxine, the old vague belief was strengthened, and Cse faith in predestined empire added to the terrors inspired by the fiercest and most power ful of the northern hordes. In the course of two centuries Constantinople was four times at tacked by the Russian fleets. Their port for pre paration or retreat was the estuary of the Borys thenes, the spot where the flags of France and England now wave over the batteries of Kinbourn. Their galleys often assembled at a little narrow harbour of the Tauric Chersonese, for ages the refuge of pirates, now famous through the world under the name of Balaklava. Ages passed on ; Constantinople fell before the Crusader, a yearly decreasing circle marked the limits of its imperial sway ; when the Sultans were at Broussa and Adrianople, the city of the Bosphorus knew its impending fate ; yet, though the Russian was still in the heart of his deserts, and the Ottoman was almost on the imperial throne, the legends of the Greek still pointed to the yellow-haired race who were to bear rule in the latter days. The old wars were now over, the Muscovite worshipped ac cording to the ritual of Eastern orthodoxy, and confessed the primacy of the Byzantine Patriarch ; he was no longer a terror, but a hope ; he was to rise up as an avenger, and to deliver the sacred dome of St. Sophia from the pollution of Moslem rites. No sooner was Mahomet sovereign of the city than the duration of the Ottoman sway was predicted. It was to last 400 years. No prophecy is more explicit, has been more widely extended, or has raised greater expectation. From the White Sea to the Persian Gulf it has been the belief of millions. Its origin we know not ; but, unlike most predictions, it has been equally received by those who feared and those who hoped its fulfil ment. Greek, Russian, and Turk have alike ac cepted it. It has stimulated the ambition of the Czars, it has encouraged the obstinacy of the Rayahs, it has unnerved and depressed the Turks, made them more reckless of the future, and more selfish in the concerns of to-day. The Christian has never ceased to speak of Roumelia as his coun try, and St. Sophia as his church ; the Mussulman has acquiesced, and often seeks to bury his dead on the Asiatic shore, that they may rest i n p eace in their own land. Natural causes seemed so likely to have inspired and to be tending to fulfil the pro phecy, that even Gibbon—no ready believer—gives an ear to its revelations. " Perhaps," he says, " the present generation may yet behold the ac complishment of the prediction—of a rare predic tion, of which the style is unambiguous and the date unquestionable." The prophecy, however, is not yet fulfilled. Its accomplishment seems more distant to us than it did to a historian of the reign of Catherine. We are now engaged in a struggle against the last of the barbarians, and as yet its course promises well for civilisation. The Russians are not now de scendingthe Dnieperto carry terror into the Golden Horn. On the contrary, the ships of the West have burst the gate which defends the last strong hold of the Czar's naval power, and are preparing to strike a blow which will crush it for at least a century. Kinbourn and Oczakoff have both bowed their necks to the allies. Nearly a thousand years ago the Russians were terrible at sea, while on land they were scarcely a match for tribes that have long perished. Now their courage and skill in the field are unquestionable, but their navy seems an expensive and sickly exotic. All has changed but the obstinate and aggressive spirit which the Greek fire of the Byzantine galleys could hardly tame, and which now, through unceasing disaster and the reprobation of the world, still resists the arms and the arguments of the West. A conviction of the strength, the endurance, and the ambition of the Russians gave rise to a series of prophecies, which have nearly caused their own fulfilment by the despondency they have generated. We cannot wonder that the unlettered conquerors of Constan tinople and their angry and brooding vassals should believe when the calm and reflective historian of an age that talked largely of reason was almost con vinced. We have no faith in historical parallels, nor do we wish to make a display of learning. There is a moral to be drawn from these old prophecies about the Russians, from the despair and cowardice which have nearly fulfilled them, and, lastly, from the courage which, once put forth, has, in less than a twelvemonth, shown their vanity. The Eastern world believed that the Ottoman was to fall before the Muscovite in the year 1853. An English poli tician would smile at the superstition, •but what would be his own language ? " After all," he would say, " it is evident that the Russians must have Constantinople some day. Russia is a coun try which it is impossible to attack with success ; Turkey is worn out and can no longer resist ; the Czar wants an outlet for his navy, which is divided and shut up in two inland seas ; he is bent on pos sessing the Bosphorus, and I do not see how it is to be prevented. It is a gloomy prospect, but it is the natural course of things, and we must be con tent." Were not those who uttered, or at least felt these arguments, a majority three years since ? Even now it is asked why we should attack an enemy whom we cannot crush ? Englishmen have been under a spell as well as the tribes of the East. Philosophical historians have equalled in supersti tion the priests of Moscow or the peasants of Rou melia. The evil has increased in our own day. The theory of race has been carried so far as to become a kind of ethnological Calvanism. Certain portions of tho human race were reprobated and doomed to vassalage or extinction. The manifest destiny of others was to rule and regenerate. The Russians were elected and called to the empire of the old world. To speak of resisting them was a folly, showing only a narrow education and a limited intelligence. Yet they have been resisted, the tide has turned, no man nowspeaks of their invincibility, few even remember the doctrine of their inevitable future. Let us, therefore, take new courage, and believe that men and nations make their own des tinies. We were not born into the world only to witness a catastrophe, If barbarism and slavery are to overspread Europe it will be our own f au l t, and not a mi s f or t une d ecree d by fate. Russia i s s till vast, p ower f u l , an d threatening ; but thi s i s no t th e first time that civilisation has be en menace d and that a single heroic deed has saved it. It is the property of such aggressive empires, when with stood and turned back in their course, to wither or fall to pieces. It may be said that we cannot crush Russia, but she may destroy, or what is bet ter, transform herself. When the whole sense and , aim of the national existence is disappointed other forces will come into play, and for the result-we ' can afford to wait. At all events, our course is ' clear'; we must persevere until the aggressivo power of the enemy is destroyed. There is no reason that we should look forward to remote po sterity, and hesitate to act because nothing that we can do will 'last for ever. It is said that the result of this war cannot be foreseen ; it is true, yet we will proceed, conscious that where our cause is just the result of success will be prosperity and peace.. It is urged that we only see a step before us ; we answer that we will take that step, for then we shall see a step still further. Many things that are dark will make themselves plain as we go on. Many obstacles that look vast-at a distance will be easily surmounted. n If we cannot regulate Europe for posterity we will for our own time, and give posterity a vantage ground w hi c h w ill ena bl e i t to defend itself. Before courage and an active will the dreams of . destiny and an inevitable future vanish. Political fatalism has nearly given Europe to the most barbarous and crafty of its foes ; a brief period of courage, endurance, and sacrifice has already broken the spell and falsified the prophe cies of a thousand years. There is encouragement to proceed when the history of the past and the experience of the present point out the same course. (Prom the Times of this day.) The King of Naples is indulging in the exulta tions of triumph. He has fairly conquered ; he has baffled Europe, and won his way to victory through the Temple of Peace. We acknowledge our defeat. The battle-ships in which we trusted have proed of no avaii.,:_The Neapolitan monarch laughs them and us to scorn. The case between us stood thus :—Some little time back the Police Minister at Naples grossly insulted a diplomatic agent of Great Britain. England demanded satis faction, and threatened h os tiliti es if sat i s f action were denied. The King of Naples immediately lowered his tong, and promised compliance with the requisition. Assurances of the most explicit kind were given by his Ministers that this man, Mazza, should be instantly dismissed. liisum teneatis—we took the King's word as guarantee for a fact. We believed him, and so may be said to have deserved the result. For a moment, and scarcely for a moment, this favoured agent and friend of the Neapolitan King was nominally dis missed from office. Even during the period of transition he continued to discharge • the duties which he had ostensibly resigned. As Soon as the storm froai the West had blown itself out, and the awful vision of a hostile fleet at anchor in his beautiful bay had passed away from the mind of this politic Bourbon, he revived, he drew breath, he was a King again, every inch a King. To policy enough had been conceded, and now let stern resolution have its turn. Let Gaeta be for tified, and Capua add a sterner glory to its tra ditional fame. Let lumbering field-pieces be dragged along the Chiaja 'and up the Toledo. Let the word be passed among the Lazzaroni to keep their stilettoes well ground and their powder dry, for the State is in danger. Such appears to have been the tenour of the orders given forth, and, when the necessary measures were taken, Mazza— his country' s p ri d e— d onned his uniform once more and repaired to the Palace. The King would see him as in the good old times—not as during . the intercalary 24 hours when his Sovereign's soul was heavy and the Western barbarians imperative. " What will be said," writes our Neapolitan corre spondent, under the date of the 13th of this month, —" when it is known that Mazza is still the ruling spirit of the police; when he told his myrmidons so in an address in public after his fictitious fall; that he was seen as late as the sth of October walking in front of the Royal Palace, dressed in his official uniform, and that he paid his Majesty a visit ?" It is added, that even during the short period when this wretch Mazza was nominally dismissed from the service of his Sovereign other dismissals of persons who were known to be more favourably disposed to England were made at the same time, in order to diminish the effect of the concession. The Neapolitan Court, however, was soon dis gusted with the comparative honesty of its . own proceedings. Until the Sov6reign and his Minis ters had waded through the 'dirtiest pools in the slough of falsehood and treachery they suffered from the unaccustomed cleanliness of their sensa tions. The affair may possibly strike upon the less astute mind of the northern races in a very diffe rent manner. In one sense, no doubt, it might seem sufficient to leave a King who has paltered with goof faith and violated his pledged word to the contempt of Europe and of the civilised world. We do not, however, think that it is consistent with the character of a nation so powerful as Eng land to acquiesce quietly in the position of a dupe. If the King of Naples has violated his word in the manner charged he must be compelled to fulfil it, whatever the consequences may be to hirriself, to his States, or to the Italian peninsula. We have consistently deprecated intervention in Neapolitan affairs, not that we are ignorant of the detest able character of the Government and of the fiendish oppressions exercised in its name upon so many of her fellow-men ; we have done so upon the simple ground that freemen cannot be extemporized. If a nation be not strong enough to win its freedom, it is certainly not strong enough to keep it. rotbing would result from premature insurrection but reaction, hang ing, shooting, chains, famine, and indescribable sorrow. We have no wish to take the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies into our own hands, nor to meddle in its affairs in any way. Now, it is said that if two or three English line-of-battle ships were to anchor in the Bay-of Naples and another in the harbour of Palermo King Bomba's subjects would rim against him from one end of his kingdom to the other. That is, surely, a matter for his con sideration rather than for ours. We neither wish to participate in, nor to hurry on any premature explosion ; but we must not be told that the trou bled aspect of the King's affairs is a reason why we should be denied satisfaction for a gross insult which no civilised nation would endure from ano ther. If the King of Naples's subjects be ripe for rebellion, that is no reason why he should outrage England with impunity ; nor is it easy to see how the bona :fide dismissal of Mazza can add to the em barrassments of his situation, which are the result of his own acts of oppression, not of the exigencies of foreign powers. Under all the circumstances of the case we trust to hear shortly that the English Legation at Naples has reported upon the real position of this question. If faith has been substantially kept there is an end of the matter; if not, England will not be trifled with nor deceived, although the result should be a political conflagration in the dominions of the Nea politan King. We are told that the universal re port at is aples is that Austria is secretly backing the King in this act of perfidy. We certainly heard a very different tale- at the outset of this dispute. Then we were told an Austrian Archduke had in formed the King of Naples that, if he persisted in his mad career, the Austrian Court neither could nor would assist him. Such a course of policy is far more creditable to the character, as well as the discernment of the Austrian Cabinet ; for cer tainly any assistance they could bring to the Neapolitan monarch would scarcely save his domi nions from the attacks of the maritime powers, or of England alone. We have no wish to enter upon such a quarrel. Englishmen had a thousand times rather that the affair were peacefully arranged by the simple process of keeping faith. We will not, however, be trifled with. In a few weeks a great portion of the Black Sea fleet will be disengaged and free for service in the Mediterra nean. There is, i n d ee d, qu i te su fficient forc e at Malta for all th a t i s requ i re d . It would b e ridi culous to sp e ak o f th e King of Naples as a serious opponent ; but we confess, when we hoar the na me of Austria so frequently mentioned, now as taking violent part against our gallant allies the Piedmen tese—now as in close union with the Pope —n ow as inspiriting the King of Naples to energetic per fidy—it seems not improbable that the Italian peninsula may become at a no very distant period the scene of important events. WAR TRANSPORTS.—The best vessels for war trans ports have been found to be screw steam colliers. About a dozen of them are now in the transport service, and they carry a larger number of horses and soldiers, a n d greater quantity of warlike stores, in proportion to their tonnage than any other kind of steamers. Tn SWISS LEGION.—The non-commissioned officers and privates gave a dramatic performance on Saturday night last, at the Dover Theatre, in aid of the widows and orphans of the British army whose husbands and parents have fallen in the Crimea.. The entertainment was under the special patronage of Colonels' Dickson, Raines, and Sultzerberger. WIIIBLEDON AND CROYDON RAILWAY.—This line of railway was opened for traffic on Monday. Six trains run each way daily from the Waterloo Railway station over the above line to Mitcham and Croydon. Also, in connection with the above railway, 13 trains depart and arrive daily at the London-bridge station of the Brighton Railway, REPRESENTATION ; OF SOUTHWARK. MEETING OF ELECTORS. Yesterday evening a meeting of electors of the borough of Southwark was held at the Queen's Head, South wark, in compliance with the following circular, which was extensively distributed : ".October 23, 1855. "Dear Sir,—A vacancy having occurred in the repre sentation of the borough of Southwark from the much to be lamented death of the Right Hon. Sir Win. Moles worth, Bart., I have to request the favour of your attend ing a meeting of the friends of George Scovell, Esq., at the Queen's Head Inn, Borough, this evening (Tuesday), at 6 for 7 o'clock precisely, to determine upon the steps neces sary to secure his election to supply the vacancy.—l am, dear sir, yours most faithfully, HERBERT STIIRMY.". The meeting was attended by a very large number of electors, and the large room of the Queen's Head was densely crowded. • Mr. JoLL, who was called to the chair, said he was delighted to see so many electors present in support of a gentleman whom they proposed to elect. (Hear, hear.) . Their friend Mr. Scovell had already been before them in the capacity of a candidate, and his political views were consequently well known. On one occasion, when Sir William Molesworth was a candidate, Mr. Scovell took the chair at the meetings of his committee, and more than once stated that he would never endanger the seat of that right hon. baronet by his candidature. In deed, he said that he would never enter the field if he thought such a course would endanger the right hon. baronet's return. (Cheers.) He promised' that when ever circumstances called for a new election he would present himself to the constituency, and he' was now before the electors in fulfilment 'of that promise. (Cheers.) He (the chairman) would now call upon Mr. Hancock to propose the first resolution. Dr. WALKER was rather anxious to ask some ques tions before the meeting started. He held in his hand a circular calling the meeting and nominating a man. He was not aware that a similar course had ever been adopted in that borough, and he altogether objected to it. (Hear.) He had a great respect far Mr. Scovell, but before he pledged himself to support him he would like to know what were his opinions, or at all events to see his address. The nomination of Mr. Scovell appeared to be the work of Mr. Stormy, who had adopted a course which he did not think would tend to secure his election. If the electors of Southwark wanted Mr. Scovell, they should have Mr. Scovell at a public meeting, and there, in the face of the constituency, ascertain_ what were his sentiments. He considered Mr. Sturmy's circular to be , a great liberty taken with the electors of Southwark. (Hear, hear, and great confusion.) Mr. NEWMAN thought that Mr. Scovell's friends had taken a wrong step. A duty was about to devOlve upon them to elect a gentleman to represent them in the great council of the nation, and they were acting in a hasty, if not a suicidal, manner. (Cries of "No, n 0.").. Some time ago Mr. Scovell was a candidate for the representa tion of the borough, and the result then showed that his principles were not in accordance with those of the great majority of the electors. (A. voice—" He was the win ning man, no doubt.") It was clear that Mr. Scovell was not the winning man on that occasion, for he lost the election. Much had lately been said about having the right man in the right place. No doubt Sir William Molesworth was the right man in the right plane, and all that he (Mr. Newman) wanted was that he should have a worthy successor. There were two or three candidates in the field. and he thought the electors should wait a little before they pledged themselves. Mr. HANCOCK then came forward to move the first re solution. He very much regretted that one better qua lified than himself had not been called upon to do honour to the memory of their late representative, a man of whom he had no hesitation in saying England was proud. Unfortunately for the electors of Southwark, that dis tinguished statesman had been removed from them by datth in the midst of a career which promised to be of the highest usefulness to his country. Mr. Hancock concluded by moving the following resolution : " That compelled by political considerations to make immediate arrangements to fill up the vacancy in the re presentation of the borough of Southwark consequent upon the much to be lamented decease of their late valued mem ber, the Right Hon. Sir William Molesworth, Bart., this meeting feel themselves imperatively called upon to ex press their deep sorrow that he should have been thus sud denly removed, just as he was entering upon a position for which he had so eminently qualified himself, and wherein ho would have upheld the honour of his country, have to record their appreciation of his political integrity and fearless independence as a member, and his talent as a statesman, and to deplore the loss sustained in her Ma jesty's counsels and by the country as well, at this import ant juncture, by his untimely decease." Mr. CORNER, in seconding the resolution, said all of them respected and admired the man who had repre sented them so faithfully and so well. A great calamity had befallen not only that borough, but also her Majes ty's Councils and the nation at large, in the death of a most honest and a most intellectual statesman--one of whom the country bad indeed reason to be proud. (Hear, hear.) He would long live in the memory of the electors of Southwark, aided as they had been by . the wisdom and integrity of such a man. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution to the meeting, and it was carried without a dissentient voice. Mr. t'Anium moved the next resolution, which was as bllows :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the claims of George Scovell, Esq., to fill the vacancy in the representatio n of Southwark best deserve the support of the electors, as from his long and intimate acquaintance with the borough, and his well-known liberal principles, his return will most advance the political and local in terests of the borough." Mr. MARTIN seconded the resolution. He had known Mr. Scovell for a great number of years, and he was glad to see such a meeting in his favour, the number of gentlemen present being almost enough to carry the election. (Laughter and cheers.) The resolution was agreed to, Mr. Newman's hand being the only one held up against it. Mr. STIIRMY returned thanks on behalf of Mr.Scovell, and added that he was enabled to state that that gentle man would be in London to-morrow. He had just re ceived a telegraphic communication from Mr. Scovell to the following effect :—" Paris, Tuesday. I shall cer tainly stand. My address as soon as possible." On the motion of Mr. G. D. FIELD, seconded by Mr. ALDERSON, a committee of electors present was appointed to take the necessary measures for securing Mr. Scovell's election. Mr. SMOLT said tbat the friends of Mr. Scovell were very anxious to , call a public meeting of the electors, but they had refrained from doing so out of consideration for the memory of their late representative. No meeting would be called .until after Sir William Molesworth' s interment, unless any other candidate who might ap pear determined to call such a meeting. This announcement was met with very hearty expres sions of applause. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceed ngs. At a late hour last night the following address from Sir C. Napier, dated Merchistoun, Hants, Oct. 23, was extensively circulated and posted throughout the borough: TO THE ELECTORS OF eOIITHWARK. " The lamented death of your late representative, Sir Molesworth, has again caused a vacancy in the repre sentation of Southwark; at the late election I abstained from goiug to the poll,. the time for preparation having been so short. I have again been solicited to allow myself to become a candidate, which I cheerfully accede to, and announce my intention of this time going to the poll, feeling satisfied that the electors of the large and im portant borough of Southwark, to whom my sentiments are so well known, will on this occasion do me the honour of electing me as their representative. I object to a per sonal canvass, thinking that every elector should exercise his right of voting unswayed and unbiassed, and the only expenses I will be put to will be those necessary to the poll. I shall, however, have pleasure in attending any district meeting where my presence may be required, and if the electors approve of my sentiments they will send me to Parliament; if not they will choose a better man. Thisis the way, in my opinion, elections should be conducted, especially in the metropolis.—l am, gentlemen, your obe dient humble servant, " CHARLES NAPIER." Mr. Conyngham's name appeared on placards posted throughout the borough ; and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., is also spoken of as a candidate. AN OLD EXPERIMENT.—A Vienna journal records a new instance of the extraordinary power of the imagina tion. A medical man, with permission of the authorities, proposed to a notorious criminal undergoing punishment in one of the city gaols that he should be pardoned, provided he consented to sleep in the bed of a patient who bad just died of cholera. The man, thinking cholera a contagious disease, hesitated some time, but at last consented, on the promise being made that if he were attacked every possible means of saving him should be employed. In a few hours after being placed in bed the prisoner had a regular attack of cholera. The usual treatment was applied, and he recovered, owing, how ever, in no small degree to the extraordinary strength of his constitution. The man's astonishment was unbounded on being told that his attack of cholera was entirely owing to imagination, the bed in which he had been laced uot haying beo4 OCAPPiecI by a cholera Mint, STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Oct. 23.--There has been some inquiry for India this morning, but the offers made were very low, and more with a view of testing prices, since the giving way of the cotton market yesterday at Liverpool, where prices generally underwent a change, and Ame rican samples were selling at id. to gd. per lb. lower. The giving way of prices in manufactured goods has been in a corresponding ratio to that on cotton, and cloths may be quoted a t lid. to 3 d . per piece under the rates of last Tuesday, while yarns are fully id. to id. per lb. down. The enormous discounts charged by the London houses on first-class paper of three months' date are, however, the main obstacle to business, and the more prudent of oer traders are taking steps to reduce their liabilities at once within the safest possible limits by withholding such orders as have not yet been given out, and by withdrawing all their contracts with manufac turera as far as possible. The orders cancelled, in fact, are on a very large scale, and sellers report that they have not witnessed a more gloomy day in this business since the year 1847. Spinners report to the same effect. On Saturday and yesterday some of the houses holding orders for yarn that have been lying over at limits for some time took advantage of the exceedingly favourable opportunity presented by the present low prices, and a fair amount of business was thus quietly transacted ; but sellers of yarns this morning report the market as flat as that for cloth, with great irregularity in price, which, in fact, are mostly nominal. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" The increas ing tightness and difficulty of the money-market cause buyers to keep as much as possible out of the market, and restrict their purchases to the execution of pressing orders only, and the business of the week has conse quently been on an exceedingly small scale. In prices it is difficult to give correct quotations, the irregularity is so great ; but all kinds have again declined, and, compared with Tuesday last, there is.a difference of lid. to 3d. per piece to the disadvantage of manufac turers." WINDING-UP OF MR.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY.—on Saturday evenin as the six o 'clock train from Kill arney was approaching g, the Mal low station, it Was signalled to stop, in order to let the train from Dublin pass , . The train from Dublin having passed, a signal was made that the line was clear, on which the Killarney train again started, and the sudden jerk caused three drovers who were sitting on the side of one of the trucks attached to the train, with some pigs which they bad purchased that day at Mill-street fair, to lose their balance. Two of them fell in among the pigs, but the other unfortunately fell out under the wheel of the truck, which passed over his chest, causing instantaneous death. An inquest was held at Mallow, before Mr. Coroner Jones, and a verdict returned in ac cordance with the evidence. The deceased, whose name was Howard, was a resident of this city, and his body was emiveyed home. We understand that no blame is attachable to any of the officials of the railway. - Naval and Military Intelligence. A letter from Dala.lslava, dated Oct. 8, gives the fol. lowing intelligence :--" The Diamond, 28, Capt. Hamil i on, sails to-day to join the fleet. Surgeon Derrima.n died at Therapia, Hospital a few pays alter being invalided. • Surgeon Pearce has been invalided. Second Lieutenant Lennox, of the Royal Marines, joins the Leander."

Of these from 10 to 14 arrive daily. Lofty pyramids of shot and shell have again accumulated in the Arsenal-yard, and among the number are four of the monster 42-inch shells, three of the same kind having been landed there about three weeks since, •as an experimental sample. Further trials are in tended to be made with these formidable-looking mis siles previously to the issue of a greater number for ser vice, it is supposed, in the Crimea. Brigadier-General Wooldridge left Dover on Saturday last, by the packet Queen, direct to the seat of war in the Crimea. Previously to the gallant officer leaving the camp at Shorncliffe the whole of the British German Legion was paraded, when the Brigadier received from them a simultaneous and enthusiastic party cheer. Lieut.• Col. Murray has resigned the command of the Ist Regiment, German Legion, and Lieut.-Col. Hairky has succeeded him. Brigade-Major Mills will embark with the regiment in the Simoom. Captain Oldershaw, Royal Artillery, director of the submarine telegraph at Varna, has now the superinten dence at that station of both the Crimea and Constan tinople lines. Vie Rev. G.

Henry Lea, M.A. Staff-Assistant Surgeon Carte is relieved from duty at Chatham, in order to enable him to prepare for embar kation for the East. In consequence of the crowded state of the military prison, Fort Clarence, sundry pri soners have been sent back to their corps without ad mission. Detachments of sick and wounded soldiers from regi ments in the Crimea, to the number of 59, with one wo man, arrived at Chatham at 5 p.m. on Monday from Portsmouth ; they came home in the ship Transit, in charge of two officers—viz., Lieutenant C.

WAR MEETINGS. —We (Scottish, Daily News) under- Htand . public meetings are about to be held in all the large cities of Sc( timid, to take the question of peace or war into serious consideration. The bands of the French army (says the Journal de Maine-et-Loire) have just received an organisation which singularly improves the position of the regimental musi cians. A young man who enlists as a musical pupil may now reach the. rank of musical officer, by rising through all the intermediate.grales. • NEARLY BURIED ALIVE.—The danger of too rapid in terment was exemplified in a very extraordinary manner in this town during the last week. A young man, who had been suffering from malignant fever, to all appear ance died on Tuesday morning. To avoid the danger of infection which might arise from a corpse remaining in the house all night, a coffin was immediately commenced, the certificate of death sent for, and urgent application was made to the incumbent of a church in one of the suburbs to allow the corpse to be interred the same even ing. This, however, he declined, considering the pro ceeding teo hasty, but consented to the interment tak ing place the following morning. The result proved the propriety of the delay ; the grave was dlig, and the coffin ready, but the dead man in the course of the night gave signs of returning animation, and at the hoar fixed for his burial was in the comfortable enjoyment of a cup of coffee, which he had asked for, with every prospect of recovery.— WT ake:field Journal. Two CHILDREN S UFFOCATED. —Yesterday morning Mr. W. Baker, the coroner, received information from Mr. Vaughan, the summoning officer of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, respecting the death of two children who had perished from suffocation. The first case related to a child named James Stanton, aged three months, whose parents reside at Church-street, Bethnal-green-road. The deceased was placed in bed by its mother on Sunday night, and when she awoke on the following morning the child was found to be quite dead. Mr. Eagle, the surgeon, of Church-street, was called, who said the child had died from asphixia through pressure, most probably by being overlaid. The body awaits an inquest. A second infant, a ge d t wo mont h s, named George Whit ing, of Austin-street, Hope-town, Bethnal-green, was ,found yesterday morning lying in bed between the pa rents. He was lifeless, and when seen by Dr. Burchell, of Kingsland-r oa d, h a d b een d ea d a b out two h o urs from the effects of suffocation, under similar circumstances to the first-named case. Deaths from the causes referred to are unfortunately sadly on the increase latterly, and the notice of the ooroner is very f r equently astleyct endalled to f them in the ove r -p o p u l a t e d di s tricts at the London. HARVEST IN CANADA._Extract from a l e tt er re ceived by Vere F os ter from Stephen_ J.

The price 11 dollars (Gs. 3d.) a bushel, is unus ually high with such an abundant crop, and must go down when seeding is completed, and threshing gene rally commenced, to 1 dollar, which is always a good and remunerating price and one at which farmers can get rich without risk.
