that Prussia is happy in the glory and prospe rity of her own fatherland, and in the fra ternisation of her different religious creeds." These sentiments are worthy of a Sovereign reigning over Protestants and Catholics, and g►ve a severe reproof to the bigots of our own country, who would suffer no religion but their own to prevail, and would throw the world into confusion to gratify their own selfish and wicked passions. The address will be found' in another part of the paper, and we earnestly recommend it to the perusal of dif erent sects in this country. Private letters from the Cape of Good Hope, dated the 9th of July, mention that another man-of-war bad been dispatched to Port Natal. No official accounts of the events at that place had been published, but no doubt was entertained at the Cape that the reports of the destruction of Captain Smiles detachment, which we have already mentioned, were but too well founded. Letters from Constantinople of the 24th ult. state that there is now a probability that the Eastern question will be settled, in accordance with the wishes of England and Austria. The StvrAN personally is said to have expressed "eat eagerness to maintain the most friendly relations with all the Christian Powers. After l'ePeated councils held at the Divan, TAHIR ?Actin proposed a plan, which was adopted, for dividing the Lebanon into two distinct Govern- Inents—the one to comprise all the Christians and the other the Druses, Mussulmans, and Mu ta.wellis. The Christians to be governed by one ( T , 31.

Per sons on the spot believe that this arrange uhich must satisfy the Christian Powers, no* tranquillise Syria. What the Syrians really merit is independence. They want to rid t h e emselves of th e d om i nion of the Porte altoge thr. This is the only point upon which the Druses and Maronites are entirely agreed, as otherwise the hatred between them is inveterate. Little progress appears to have been made in settling the differences between Persia and the . Porte. The interference of England, however, 'as prevented a war between them. In all the collisions. which took place on the frontier the Turks acted wholly on the defensive. There is no news of any political interest in the French Journals received.

It was then stated that the greatest doubt existed as to the amount at which the Bank was to be assessed, and a gentlmcn, who allowed he was a Commissioner, declare.' he could give no information on the subject. Three Acts, intimately connected with commercial affairs, passed the British Parliament this last session, which are looked upon as being likely to efect a complete alteration in the mode of conducting busi ness. These are the Merchant and Factors Bill, the Insolvent, and the Bankrupts Laws ; these, taken in connection with the tenth article of the American treaty, bid fair to work quite a revolution in the law of debtor and creditor. It has never hap pened of late that, among nations professing themselves to be free, such power has been mutually allowed. If a debtor flee to any of the continental countries, it is owing only to an informality of the passport or a technicality of the law, that any redress could be obtained by the foreign creditor ; and if a fraudulent swindler could but get a footing in the United States, the creditors might be set at defiance. Henceforth the situation of the parties will be wholly reversed; an individual guilty of a crime which is punishable in the one coun try will be given up to the other. Complaints have been made of the facilities which, by our new Acts, have been given to debtors, but if they be thoroughly examined it will be seen that creditors have not lost one atom of the power which they formerly possessed, and by the treaty now about to be ratified with America, much inducement, which has hitherto been held out, for fraud will be at an end. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The intelligence from America has caused a slight improvement in the prices of the Funds, and Consols are 92i for Money, and 93 934 for the Account, with however but very little business ; New Three and-a-Half per Cents., 101 1014; Exchequer Bills, New, 49 51; Old, 51 53 prem. The Foreign Market has been quite without trans actions—the Dutch Five per Cents. have been sold at 1024. The conflicting accounts from Mexico and Texas via New York, and the absence of letters, have had an unfavourable effect upon the quotation of Mexican Bonds, which are marked 35k. Scarcely any thing has been done in Shares, beyond London and Birmingham Quarters, 471 ; Great Western Half-sharea, 59k; Eastern Counties, Bi-, and Brighton, 33k. Contrary to rumour, the Directors of the Bank of England at the half-yearly meeting to-day, recom mended a dividend of 3f per cent. for the half year, the same rate as the last. To pay this, however, and the income-tax, 5,3961., has to be taken from the Rest, which is now 2,863,8881. _ _ Spanish Five per Cents. are 161 ; and the Three per Cent. Bonds, 21. _ . . The important intelligence by the Britannia has given much satisfaction in the City. The great im pediment to the transmission of orders has hitherto been the uncertainty in which the amount of duty to be levied was placed, and this having been removed, it is understood that instructions for shipping several large parcels of goods, mid especially woollens, have been already received. The increase in the several rates does not appear to be so great as had been anticipated, although by several of the clauses of the new Bill a larger amount than was formerly paid will be now levied ; for instance, the value of goods for the future will be so calculated as to include freight, commission, and all charges except insurance, so that these items will have to be in creased by the per centage thereon ; and in addition, the vessels belonging to the United States are to have a protection of ten per cent., which will in effect give these ships a monopoly of carrying goods to America. There is no such regulation in our tariff, and goods which can be legally imported from that country, are admitted here upon precisely the same terms, whether in English or American bottoms. The - only exceptions are in favour of th e pro duce of Asia, which is allowed to be con sumed in this country, but by British ships, and the relaxation in favour of these goods is made only in favour of the United States. So strictly has the treaty between the countries been con strued, that since our exclusion from the trade in gum from Senegal by the French, the citizens of America have been the only carriers bet Ween Africa and England. Thus, it would appear, that the Customs' regulations of the two countries are not by any means upon an equality. From the general tenor of the advices, certain par ties are sanguine enough to hope that some progress is about to be mile for the payment of the various State debts. The rate of Exchange was a trifle more in favour of England, being 1071 1071, but still nearly two per cent. agai:3st this country. CLOSING PRICES. BRITISI3 FUNDS.

After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, " The health of the Messrs. Wilsur:," and " Prosperity to the Glasgow Letter Voundry," were proposed and drunk with the ut most enthusiasm. Several excellent speeches were made by the workmen, and the evening was spent with the greatest hilarity.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE - . DONCASTER RACES W - EDNESDAY. The hill of fiire, this afternoon, was rather more proli fic of sport than is usual on the Wednesday . at these meetings, hut contained only two races of any interest — the Municipal and Foal Stakes. The most interesting part of the day's proceedings was the St. Leger settling, at the Rooms ; we heard nothing of absenteeism or com- Fomise, nor did anything transpire that would lead us to a suspicion of its being otherwise than pleasant. The races came off in the following order:— The Doncaster Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 50 added by the Corporation ; 3 yrs, 6st 101 b ; 4 yrs, Bst 5 )rs, Bst 91b ; 6 yrs, and aged, 9st. Two miles.

Clarke's Baronet, 3 yrs 3 dr The Shadow was the favourite, and won both heats in a canter. THE ST. LEGER.—The short time allowed us to for ward our report to the train caused two or three slight inaccuracies in the description of this race. Fireaway, who was ridden in a white jacket (Attila's colour), was first from the post, and led for a few yards ; Attila then rushed to the front, followed by Eboractun and Master Thomas (not cScalteen), and, on the latter's retreat, by Cabrera, & . The time was three minutes twenty seconds. Justbefore the horses started Pharmacopoeia kicked at Policy, hit Frank Butler on the leg, and in flicted a deep flesh wound, but fortunately did not frac ture the bone, or prevent his riding in the race. The winner was bred by Lord Eglinton, and is by Touch stone, out of Maid of Melrose, by Brutandorf, dam by Whisker, granddam by Orville, out of Otterington's dam. She was in the Goodwood 500 Sovs. each last year, in the Oaks, in the 500 Sovs. Stakes at the last Liverpool races, and in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood; but having been amiss, did not start for either, and she therefore went to the post perfectly "dark," and with no other recom mendation than a private trial, and a very large outlay for Lord Eglinton and the stable. As a proof how com pletely the sporting world was taken by surprise, we have only to refer to our list of the horses arrived, or ex pected in Monday's paper, in which her name will be looked for in vain.

The first great sheep market commenced on Monday last, and it is computed that about 60,000 sheep were upon the Tryst grounds, besides 7,000 or 8,000 that were disposed of on the road to market. . The first lot which left the grounds consisted of 350 black-faced three-year-old wedders ; they fetched 1/. per head. A very-fine lot, and by judges considered the top lot in the market, which belonged to Mr. Laidlaw, Strathglass, Inverness-shire, consisting of 600 white-faced three-year-old Cheviots, were sold for 11. 45. Gd. each. It was remarked by judges that a greater number of the white-faced Cheviots were in the market than was ever at any former period. Mr. Patterson, Sandside, Caithness, had 1,540 three-year-old Cheviot wedders, 500 of which ss ere sold during the day at 11. 55.; 900 at 1/. 4s. ; 140 at 143/. ; 1,200 white-faced ewes, price not fixed, but would range from 12s. to 12s. 6d. Messrs. Mitchell and M`Farlane sold a very fine lot of 1,000 white-faced Che viots for 11. 35., so that the average for this fine stock may be quoted at 11. 4s. ; and in this kind of stock most business ‘‘ as done. For crosses, prices from 12s. to 14s. per head ; black-faced ewes varying from 7s. to 12s. There were about 150 tups for sale. Mr. James Cowbrongh, AtrAiendeen, Stirlingshire, sold twelve of the best, which brought 21. 3s. per head ; other lots sold at prices downward to 1/. 10s. At the close of Moud.sy's sale a considerable quantity, chiefly inferior, w ere unsold. There were forty-three tents for refresh ments, and five different banks transacted business upon the occasion. On Tuesday, in the afternoon, sales continued very dull. The best lot of cattle sold, twenty seven in the lot, brought 171. each. About twelve one year-old bulls of Ayrshire breed, were sold at 71. A. number of small Highland queys sold at 21. It is con sidered that the Queen's visit was the means of prevent ing the market going on as upon former occasions. In the horse market little business was done.—Scots nun.

Stu.--Having laboured, though very feebly, in the cause of domestic industry, I cannot doubt that you will recognize my right to comment briefly on the following observations which appeared in your excel lent paper : " Can England and Ireland ever cordially unite, if all commercial intercourse is cut off? If-an Irishman is to be hooted for wearing an English hat, would not an Englishman be hooted in turn for wearing Irish linen ? Commercial intercourse forms the best bond of friendship, and if we wish to live in unity, there must be an end to national distinctions, and the words ex clusive d ea li ng mus t b e b an i s h e d from our language. What would become of the Irish if they were shut up within their own island, cut off from all commerce with other nations, forbidden to buy in the cheapest market, or sell in the dearest ? In a few years the farmers would be ruined, manufactures would dis appear, the people would relapse into a state of bar barism, and in process of time would devour one an other like the wild beasts of the field." As these observations may very fairly be construed as applying generally to the movement for reviving Irish industry, I feel it to be my duty-, on behalf of the great majority of those engaged in that move ment, to disclaim all connection with the doctrine of "exclusive dealing," in the common acceptation of the words. I cannot, however, deny that in doing so we may appear to quarrel only with the expression, while 'vve.adhere to the principle. It is enough for us, how ever,' to be able to discern a distinction between blind exclusiveness and mere preference—between a course of action which generally proceeds from enmity to others, and one which 'originates in a just sense of duty to ourselves. ' It can scarcely be denied, certainly it cannot be disproved, that the revival of national industry is cal culated, above all other means, to relieve national des titution, and render Ireland, what in her present po sition she can never become—peaceful, prosperous, and happy—the willing ally, not the discontented and dangerous slave of a country, whose pros perity she envies, and whose power she has has been taught to fear. He who calmly reviews the history of Ireland, and surveys, with an unprejudiced eye, her present political and commercial position, must admit that the only hope of reviving domestic industry rests in the peaceful determination of the people, to yield to the voice of reason and duty, and give to the productions of their own country that ' preference without which even legislative favour wonid be .vain. When the peculiar circumstances of Ireland are considered, when we call to mind the means by which our manufacturing industry has been annihilated, and when we glance at the obstacles which lie in the path of its revival, can it be deemed either unreasonable or impolitic to demand that pre ference, which, if prudently bestowed and perse veringly adhered to, would prove more powerful than capital or protecting enactments ? The prefe rence to.-which I allude is subservient both to price and quality ; for it . • can be proved that, in natural talent and acquired ability, the Irish artisan knows no superior; and those who are acquuinted with the country are aware that her manufacturing resources are more varied and extensive, and can be rendered available more cheaply, than those of any other land. This species of preference, therefore, amounts in effect to exclusive dealing ; but I would ask, is there an Englishman ready to condemn us for pledging our selves to relieve the Unparalleled wretchedness of our country, by affording to her immense population that employment which would prove the panacea of all her woes ? You may reply by desiring us to enter the field of competition fairly, and not resort to the aid of pledges. As well may you bid the sucking babe contend with the full : grown giant, as call upon the famishing (because unemployed) artisan of Ireland to compete with the capital of England, unless you secure to him the enjoyment of the preference alluded to. Without such an assurance, his infant exertions would fall paralysed before the mighty power of his triumphant rival. We require no sacrifice to be made by our countrymen in favour of domestic industry, for we are confident in the capabilities of our country, and in the skill of our artisans ; but if it should ap pear (which we deny) that the productions of native industry could be undersold by those of foreign work manship, we would, in such a case, feel ourselves war ranted in reason to call upon the Irishman to weigh the rival productions in a more just scale than that of mere intrinsic value. The land lord should consider to what extent his in terests might be advanced, and his personal. safety ensured, by supplying the people with that employ ment, to the want of which nearly all their crimes may be traced. The trader, and every other class, should consider how greatly their condition would be improved by the general prosperity of the country, and whether it would not be more for their advan tage to expend, in fostering domestic industry, those heavy sums that are now wasted in maintaining a ge n oral Poor-law. Your observations respecting " commercial in tercourse" are, in the abstract, both just and rea sonable, but cease to be so when applied to the peculiar case of Ireland. " Commercial intercourse," you wisely observe, " forms the best bond of friend ship." Apply this to Ireland, and then describe the nature, and state the extent of that friendship, which our commercial intercourse with England has ce mented. Is the mere export of that food for which the people are pining, and the import of those articles which deprive them of employment, a species of com mercial intercourse worth upholding? Is it a mark of friendship to destroy our manufacturing industry, and tell us we must be content to remain an agricultural country, and produce for others that food which our population require for themselves ? Is it a mark of friendship, after having established a market for the sale of that produce, after compelling us to accept your terms, to break faith with us, and, instead of maintaining our agricultural, in return for your ma nufacturing monopoly, to open, as you have done, to the world that market which you taught us to consider as exclusively and permanently our own ? I would not have it supposed that I disapprove of this 'policy. On the contrary, I consider it, generally speaking, wholesome in its nature, and seasonable in its adop tion, and I allude to it only for the purpose of afford ing a just perception of the real nature of our •" com mercial intercourse," and of the species of friendship which it is calculated to produce. The picture of cannibalism which you draw from the supposition of our being " shut up within our own island," is cer tainly sufficiently frightful to excite general conster nation among those who mistake mere asser tion for proof. As I do not belong to that class, I cannot participate in your fears until you prove them to be well founded. Till then 'I fear that • we , Aall; still remain 6:thyprtg 7to the di - Alen:that it Werebetter for theiniseraVe pOPu lation of Ireland to resign their commercial intercourse, and sell in their own, rather than in a foreign market, and to purchase the productions of native industry in preferenceto 'those of other countries. The farmers whom you state " would be ruined," I consider would have a steady and remunerating (because a domestic) market secured to them, in place of the one, which you have opened to the world—and if you require our surplus produce (should we have any), you must take it, but if you can procure it cheapear elsewhere, you will reject ours without ceremony, whether we manufacture for ourselves or not. The manufactures, which you say " would disap pear" (alas! where are they ?), would, I contend, re vive and flourish ; and, instead of relapsing " into a state of barbarism, and devouring one another like the wild beasts of the fields," I am convinced • that national prosperity would Le the reward of national industry, even though confined to our OA n shores; and that employment would enable our destitute mil lions to relieve their own necessities with a portion of that abundance, which it is an outrage against nature to export, until the wants of those who raise it are supplied.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant, Limerick, Sept. 9. J. B. ALTON. ALLOWANCE FOR PICICIIiG UP DROWNED BODIES.— At an inquest, held on Monday before the Coroner of London, at the Vestry-room of St. John's, Horsley down, the foreman, a licensed-victualler, stated that a watetman had mentioned to him, that day, that he saw a corpse floating down the river, and abstained from pick ing it up because the allowance of half-a-crown would not remunerate him for the trouble he should have. The Jury concurred in considering the allowance too small, and that the public advantage required that it should be increased. The Coroner said he was always anxious to do what the interest of the public required, and he should in future allow five shillings for bringing on shore a dead body ; and more than that in cases where unusual cir cumstances, or more than ordinary trouble, entitled the parties to it. A large bonded warehouse, situate in Galton-street, Liverpool, the property of Sir John Tobin, and occupied by Messrs. Graham and Taylor, containing large stores of sugar, coffee, &c., was for the most part consumed on Tuesday night by a destructive fire. It is not known how the fire originated ; in emptying the stores, a labourer was reverely bruised and crushed by a fall of bricks, and lies at the hospital in a dangerous state. GROSVENOR HOUSE.—The Marquis of Westmin ster has long contemplated some improvements in the exterior of this spacious mansion. The Noble Lord has accordingly made up :.is mind to remove the houses on the right and left, the leases of which have expired, and to erect a magnificent screen of columns in front, in a line with Grosvenor. street. The model is to be taken from the facade of the late Carlton House. A few days since, while a party of gentlemen, friends of the Duke of Buckingham, were out shooting with his Grace, 11. Humphreys, Esq., of Buckingham, shot Captain Dewes accidentally. The escape was for tunate, a great part of the contents of Mr. Humphreys' gun were received in the pockets of the Captain's shoot ing jacket. Mr. Stone, surgeon, of Buckingham, ex tracted a considerable number of the shot from Mr. Dewes' person ; one was found near the gentleman's eye. Lord Redesdale has taken Lacly W illiam Ben tiqek's spacious mansion, overlooking the Green Park, in Park. place, called Vernon House, for a term, PUBLIC WALKS AND GARDENS. (From the Report on the Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population of Great Britain.) Whilst separation rather than aggregation, more especially for families, is the course of po licy suggested by experience for the places of residence of the working-classes, accommodation is called for fi.om every part of the country for public walks or places of recreation. Mr. Joseph Strutt, of Derby has presented to that town a public garden of eleven acres, which has been so laid out by Mr. Loudon as to give the advantage of a walk of two miles, and the in terest afforded by an arboretum, displaying the specimens of 1,000 shrubs and plants. The plan of laying out this public ground so as to make the most of the space, appears to be one deserv ing of peculiar attention; and I have appended to this report a copy with which I have been fa voured. lam informed that his Grace the Duke of Norfolk has expressed an intention, as soon as some leases are out, to bestow fifty acres for the use of Sheffield as a public garden. Much evidence might be adduced from the experience of the effects of the parks and other places of public resort in the metropolis, to prove the importance of such provision tbr recreation, not less for the pleasure they afford in them selves, than for rivalry to pleasures that are ex pensive, demoralising, and injurious to the health. A benevolent gentleman near Cam bridge, who wished to arrest the debauchery and demoralization promoted by a fair, and, if possible, to put an -end to the fair itself, insti tuted on the days when it was held, and at a distance from it, a grand ploughing-match, at which all persons of respectability were invited to attend. This brought from the fair all the young men whom it was desired to lead from it to a regulated and a rational and beneficial en tertainment, and thus, without force, and at a very trivial expense, the lair was suppressed by the quiet mode mode of drawing away its profit. On the holiday given at Manchester in cele bration of her Majesty's marriage, extensive ar rangements were made for holding a Chartist meeting, and for getting up what was called a demonstration of the working classes, which greatly alarmed the municipal Magistrates. Sir Charles Shaw. the Chief Commissioner of Police, induced the Mayor to get the Botanical Gardens, Zoological Gardens, and Museum of that town, and other institutions, thrown open to the work ing classes at the hour they were urgently in vited to attend the Chartist meeting. The Mayor undertook to be personally answerable for any damage that occurred front throwing open the gardens and institutions to the classes who had never before entered them. The effect was that not more than 200 or 300 people attended the political meeting, which entirely failed, and scarcely five shillings worth of damage was done in the gardens or in the public institutions by the workpeople, who were highly pleased. A further effect produced was, that the charges be• fore the police of drunkenness and riot were on that day less than the average of cases on ordi nary days. But want of open spaces for recreation is not confined to the town population. In the rural districts the children and young persons of the villages have frequently no other places for re creation than the (lusty road before their houses, or the narrow and dirty lanes, and accidents fre quently take place from the playing of children on the public highways. If they go into the fields they are trespassers, and injure the farmer. The want of proper spaces as play-grounds for children is detrimental to the morals as well as to the health in the towns, and it probably is so generally. The very scanty spaces which the children, both of the middle and the lower' classes, the ill as well as the respectably edu cated, can obtain, force all into one company to the detriment of the better children, for it is the rude and boisterous who obtain pred9tninance. In the course of some investigations which I had occasion to make into the causes of juvenile de linquency, there appeared several cases of Cnil dren of honest and industrious parents, who had been entrapped by boys of bad character; I inquired how the more respectable chil dren became acquainted with the depraved; when it was shown that in the present state of many crowded neighbourhoods all the children of a court or of a street were forced to play, if they had any play whatsoever, on such scraps of ground as they could get, and all were brought into acquaintanceship, and the range of influence of the depraved was extended. The condition of the children in large districts where there are no squares, no gardens attached to the houses, and no play-grounds even to their day-schools, and where they are of a condition in life to be withheld from playing in the streets, is pro nounced to be a condition very injurious to their bodily de•telopment. The progress of the evil in the rural districts has been, to some extent, ar rested by a beneficent standing order of the House of Commons, that all Inclosure Bills shall include provision for a reserve of land for , the public use for recreation. For children, how- ' ever, the most important reservations would be those which could be made for play-grounds in front of their homes, on plots where they may be under the eye of their mothers or their neigh bours. Where the cottages are near a road, they should be some distance from it, with the gar dens or play-ground in front. The separate or distant play-grounds have many inconveniences, besides their being out of sight; and where they are far distant, they are comparatively useless. I have great pleasure in being enabled to testify that the instances are frequent where the regu lated resort to private pleasure-grounds, and parks has been indulgently given for the recrea tion of the labouring population. DWEIIESSING SUICIDE.—On Wednesday an inquest was held by Mr. Wakley, at the Plough, Kensal green, on Mr. Henry Mandy, aged 58, a licensed victualler, in G eorge-street, Portman-square, who was found drowned in the Paddington Canal on Monday. his wife was in terred in Kensal-green Cemetery, which he had since been in the habit of frequenting, and visiting her tomb. For some days previous to his death he had appeared very uneasy, particularly at night, and very restless in his manner. Monday evening he left his home for the purpose of visiting his wife's grave, but did not reach Kensal -green until after seven, at which hour, the gates being closed, he co u ld not btain admission. From that time he was never again seen alive ; but about nine o'clock, as John Moulding, in the employ of Mr. Woods, of Kensal-green, was walking along the north bank of the canal, he saw, by the light of the moon, a hat and stick on the path, the stick being driven through the crown of the hat into the earth to Secure it ; and on looking further about, he distin guished something dark floating on the water. He gave information to the police, and the drags having been procured, the body of deceased was got out and conveyed to the above inn, where every means for re• storing animation were adopted, but without effect. The Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity." BEATING JONATIIAN.—A very singular investiga tion took place some time since before the Tribunal of Termelad (Sweden), arising out of the following circum stances :—A robber having been condemned to death, was hanged according to his sentence in the public high way. A miller returning home, perceiving that life was not extinct, and influenced by a very natural feeling of pity, cut him down and conveyed him to his mill. The robber, on his recovery, could not resist his inclination to resume his old habits, and, with unparalleled ingratitude, exercised his dexterity on the man who had saved his life. The miller, indignant at such monstrous conduct, restored the thief to his gibbet, from which, this time, no commisserating passenger relieved him. The Court condemned the miller to several months' imprisonment and a heavy fine, to act as a warning for the future not to interrupt the course of law, or take the office of executioner in his own hands.

Le Mans, was engaged on the 2d and 3d instant with trial, which, from its lamentably interesting circum stances, attracted a crowded auditory. The criminals arraigned were a peasant girl, named Madeleine Le mounier, and the Cure of the parish of La Chapelle aux-Choux, named Romagne. The crime of which the girl stood accused was the murder of her own in fimt, and that with which the Cure was charged was complicity in the murder, after an attempt made by him to procure abortion. The following are the circumstances of this shocking and disgusting affair, as disclosed by the indictment. On Feb. 12 last the prisoner and her mother want to Le Mans, and lodged at a public-house, where they asked to be recom . - mended to a midwife, for the purpose, as was inferred, of obtaining a certificate that they had deposited an infant at the Foundling Hospital of the town. Suspi 7 cions of their morality being excited the Magistrates were informed, and an investigation took place. In the course of the inquiry M. Revery, a medical man, of Le Lude, deposed that the female prisoner had been with him on the Clth, to require a certificate that she was not with child, but having ascertained that she s had be en recent l y delivered, he refused to sign what a an t d it on w b a :lf she r equ i re d . S he stated that the child had been sent t o Le f a a rne a s ;th as ch k o e l d ie ro in was % v she lived. —M. Rev er y t o ld h er that he hose the S f e a r t v h i e ce r, could not be.; lieve her, as - M. Chollet was 78 years old, and she then avowed to him that Romagne was the father, but would give 300 fr. to have the fact kept secret. AL Revery pretended to listen to this overture and told her to go and get hi m 150 f., and if the child had not been ill-treated, he would say nothing about the matter. On the next day she brought him 125 f, and on the 1 1th Romagne br oug h t t h e remaining ' 25 f. himself, affirming that th e c hild had been chris tened, mid sent to Le Mans. Revery then . gave the certificate required. Suspicions after wards arose in his mind that all was not right, and these being strengthened by subsequent in terviews with both prisoners, he returned the money . he had received. Romagne was thereupon informed against and arrested. In her previous examinations, Madeleine Lemounier, after having repeatedly preva ricated and contradicted herself, confessed to the ma- gistraie, as she had done to M.Revery, that Romao.ne was the father of the child ' • adding, that when her,: pregnancy became k nown to him, he gave her drugs; to procure abortion, naming the chemists from whore' he had procured them, and also had bled her at least - . twenty times with a lancet, besides applying leeches to her. She further stated, that her intimacy with the Cure had subsisted for fbur years. On being in terrogated as to the fat e o f h er c hild, s h e declared that after it was born, in the night of February 4th, - Romagne took it away, and in an hour brought it back to her dead ; that it remained concealed in a box for three weeks, and then he carried it away, saying lie would bury it in the cemetery. But on this point she made so many various depositions, that it was impossible to come at the truth. Romagne, in his examinations, positively denied all that she had al leged against him, and accounted for his transaction with M. Revery, by his anxiety to save Madeleine Lemounier from exposure and shame. The act of accusation having been read, the President proceeded to the interrogation of the prisoners. The female, in her replies, confirmed theCharges:against Romagne as t o th e administration of drugs, the repeated bleedings to pro cure abortion, the taking away the child, and bring ing it back when dead. The male prisoner denied all that was charged against him, declared that he had never had any improper connexion with the girl—and, striking the bar at which he was standing with great violence, exclaimed, " I pray God to strike me dead if I lie." The female, being asked if she had been in the habit of confessing to the Cure, replied, that she went to the confessional only for the purpose of talk- ing with him ; and that he had requested her to meet him there, as it would give the public an idea that she was attentive to her religious duties. The Cure having made a sign of denegation, the girl exclaimed, in a tone of deep feeling, " Yes, what I say is true — you corrupted and ruined me; but you would deny even God, if he were to come down from heaven. I was a poor innocent country girl, until I was se duced and corrupted by you.' Several witnesses were called, some of whom substantiated the facts as to the attempt to procure abortion, but there was no direct evidence of the murder of the child. The painful emotion produced by the details of this affeir - was more than once lost in the amusement created by the way in which some of the witnesses gave their - evidence. Chollet, the old man, seventy-eight years of age, with whom the female prisoner lived as ser vant, and whom she had in the first instance declared to be the father of her child, on being asked Wheth er such a thing had not been said, replied, " IlTa .foi nenni mon ben Monsieur , do not you think I • am too old ?" 'When asked where the girl slept, he said, " Alone in a room, separated from mine by a corridor _ —no, not alone, for now I recollect she had the cow with her far company." A woman named Leruy, a pretended fortune-teller by cards, said Lemounier had consulted her, and that, having cut her cards, she. replied :that she (Lemounier) had placed herself "dans de mauvais drape Pichard, a fisherman, being questioned as to the appearance of Romagne al; ' a certain place, said he recollected the circumstance very well, for he had made a present to the Cure a t the time of two barbel, " which were by no means small, one weighing a pound, and the other three quarters of a pound, because when presents are made they should always be worth receiving." The Pre sident, having summed up the evidence, the jury re tired, and, after a short deliberation, returned a ver dict of guilty against both prisoners, of an attempt to procure abortion: The Court sentenced Romagn e to five years' imprisonment, and Lemounier to two years of the same penalty. IMP INTELLIGENCE. WORCESTER, SEPT. 13.—The supply of new hops on Saturday amounted to between 800 and 900 pockets, but there is no doubt the heavy rains pre vented several distant planters sending many more, which were ready for market. It was some time before any business was done, the growers being very reluctant to submit to the prices offered by the merchants, and several returned home without effect ing sales. As the day advanced, however, many of them came to a better understanding with the trade, and sales became rather brisk, the returns showing at the close of the market a sale of 614 pockets, or about three-fourths of the supply at market. The quality of the samples this year is every thing that could be wished, not one at all approaching to in feriority having been seen; and the general run was so very even that not more than 10s. per cwt. diffe rence in value between the two extremes can be quoted, the currency being from 78s. to 80s. per cwt. There are no complaints of the crops coming down light, and the duty rem a i ns fi rm a t 19 ,000 1 .. as last quote d .

Present currencies range about as follows :--Sussex, Sussex, 965. to 1055.; Weald of Kent, 100 s. to 115 s. ; Mid. Kent, 115 s. to 1355.; and Farnhams 81.8 s. to 9/. 9s.

Soon afterwards smoke ascended from the engine room in large quantities, the passengers became greatly alarmed, and the Captain brought up without delay to the tier off Alderman's Stairs, Lower East Smith field, where the Pl anet was made fast to the Duke of Cornwall, a Dublin steam-ship. The pumps of the Cornwall were put . requisition,and in Fisher, the superintending harbour-master, and the crew of a Thames police galley, with George Judge, their ins' • pector, went on board to The fire continued to increase under the deck, and it was found nece • ssary to cut away a great portion of the deck to reach the fire, when one ofthe Thames police got a pan n iki n which he introduced full of water into some of the apertures and threw the water up at the burning deck. This was continued for some time, and plenty of water was poured down other apertures made in the deck, and the flames were fortunately extin guished before they had extended beyond the deck. While the fire was raging Captain Smith, the master of the Vesper, another Star steamer, came on board, and found the boilers nearly red hot, and very little water in them, owing to some neglect on the part of the engineer or his assistants, and upon asking for an explanation none could be afforded. The boilers were soon after wards filled up with cold water, and the Ruby, a Dia mond steamer, came down the river and the passengers were transferred from the Planet and conveyed to Gravesend in the Ruby. The Planet was afterwards towed down to Elackwall by the St. Michael steam-tug for the necessary repairs to be effected. Inspector Judge. of the Thames police, while assisting to put out the fire, was severely burnt in one of his hands. FALMOUTH, SEPT. 12.—The remains of the late Major-General Lord Vivian were brought down from London, by the City o f Li mer i c k, L on d on an d Dublin steamer, this morning, and were immediately taken on board in a barge, in tow of the Dart, river steamer, to Truro ; where they will be interred to-morrow in the family vault. It will be a private funeral. Whilst the corpse remained in this harbour, the church bell was I tolled from respect to his Lordship's memory.
