Observing the determined attitude assumed by the Governments of France and England, the AUTOCRAT cannot seriously venture to persist with force of arms in his insolen t demand of extradition. Turkey, although apparently isolated, is, in reality, shielded from the grasp of Russia by the awe-inspiring co operation of the Cabinets of St. James's and of the Elysie. It is true that the CZAR may endeavour— si it is certain that he is actually en deavouring, to escape from his present dilemma by a blustering affectation of authority. Only three days since, one of the aides -de-camp of the Emperor NICHOLAS, accompanied by M. DH Kisnaire, the Russian Charge d'Affaires at Paris, waited upon the Foreign Minister of the French Republic, for the purpose of trying the effect of a bullying interview. He had the insolence, indeed, to assure M. DE TOCCIURTILLE that his imperial master would regard as a cases belli the approach of a French fleet to the Dardanelles. Considering that such a maritime movement has been rendered imperative solely by the aggressive attitude assumed by Russia towards the Sublime Porte, such a declaration cannot be considered as otherwise than a daring and flagrant act of imperti nence, to say the very least of it, towards the French Republican Government. Aware, moreover, that England yet more than France is implicated in the transactions which have latterly taken place in Constantinople, we may anticipate that the repre sentative of NICHOLAS may have the matchless effron tery to communicate a similar resolution to her Britannic MAJEST Y ' S Forei gn Secretary. What would be the instant reply of Lord PALMERSTON may be readily conjectured. As a statesman not less , sensitive upon all matters relating to the treatment of his country, and not less haughty in his vindication of her dignity than Mr. CANNING was wont to be when presiding over ker destinies, we can conceive his being imitated into a somewhat more indignant rejoinder than the one placidly articulated by M. DB TOCQUEVILLE—nameIy, that he and his Ministerial colleagues would regard as a easus belli the entry of a Russilin army into the Turkish dominions. As far as that goes, the soldiers of the AUTOCRAT are even now, to all intents and purposes, within the frontiers of the Ottoman territory. In overrunning the Danubian provinces, they are overrunning countries appertaining more to the SULTAN than to the Caag. In occupying the capital of Bucharest they have seized upon the metropolis of that Wal lachia whose governance rightfully belongs to ABDUL MESC HiD. M. Da TOCQUEVILLE possibly does not find it exactly convenient to recognise so much overtly, and therefore contents himself with asserting that France will regard as a casus belli the entrance of a Russian army into the Turkish dominions. Aware of the horrors ith which the inhuman de mands of the AUTOAT were learnt by the Britiits population, acquainted with the resolute character of the British statesman now acting as Foreign Secretary, and conscious of the heroic atti tude at once assumed on his own responsibility by the British Ambassador at Constantinople, we are anything but surprised to find that Austria is now, at the eleventh hour, striving to reconcile the estranged councils of the SULTAN and the AUTOCRAT. It has been found that England is true to her own generous jai -1 ulses, that her foreign relations are watched with un a inking vigilance by Lord PALMERSTON, and that wherever the blow may fall, as in the case of Sir STRATFORD CANNING, there the agents of her diplo macy are prepared forthwith to abide by the principles of justice, humanity, and general rectitude. Having ac quired this brilliant but unwelcome assurance that England at least will not consent to witness the per ptiatioa of an outrage upon Christianity, and the attempt at retrogression in civilization, Austria herself evincing a disposition to retract, and is now using all her efforts to mitigate the requirements made by the powerful but ruthless CZAR upon the eak but noble-hearted CALIPH. At first the ulti. n i nation (it will be remem bered) was the immediate extradition of the Hungarian refugees at 1% iddin. At last that ultimatum appears to be shrinking to a requ est that those fugitives shall be speedily conveyed from Turkey to some more distant country, for example, to England or to America. Already the Viennese Cabinet has consented to these concessions, and, according to reports now prevalent, its agents are using every persuasion to bring the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh to consent to the same compromise. Should Russia still continue violent the result must inevitably be war. Should the AUTOCRAT, on the contrary, yield to the advice of his German ally, and to the dictates.of rational prudence, be '4711 be degraded in the eyes of Europe—the prestige of his inso!ence will have vanished. His s influence will no longer continue predomin at Constantinople, it will be replaced by the influence of the liberal Governments of Western Europe, but especially by that already exercised by England on the shores of the Bosphorus. Of this we are satisfied—France assuredly, Eng lai,d certainly, will not be deterred by the bluster of any Russian aide de-camp, cr chargé d'affaires, from sending her fleets, if required by humanity, to the channel of the Dardanelles. Baulked in her insolent demands upon the SULTAN, Russia will not find her braggadocio one jot_ more successful either in regard to Italica or to England. If driven to the last extremity, and forced to wage war against Turkey, supported by the French Republic and Great Britain, Russia, like her colleague Austria, will find her vaunted strength palsied by remorse—that vengeance wreaked by conscience upon crime. Then she may find full reason to exclaim iu the sorrowful language Of MASSINGER TUE FRENCH REPUBLIC. SWEDEN. Tl. icing and Queen of SWEDEN returned to Stool ;: i oolrn on the sth, from a journey to Norway. The Commision ef Government, which had been iteJ during the KING'S absence, had been dis solvk I. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. A duel took place on Thursday evening between M. Tuleßs and M. Elmo, in consequence of an in cident which occurred in the course of the discussion of the Roman question in the Assembly. It will be recollected that 111. MaTrituu in the course of his speech declared that M. Limas had said that the election of Lours BONAPARTE as President would be disgraceful to France, whereupon M. Limas ex claimed, " I never said so;" upon which M. Maiosaid, said, in a loud tone, " I hax,i the words." Great agitation followed, and M. TRIERS immediately sent' a message to M. Bane and both parties proceeded, accompanied by their, seconds to the Bois de Boulogne, where they exchanged shots without doing any mischief, whereupon the seconds interfered, and they all returned to the Assembly before the sitting was over. The following account of the duel appeared in the Patrie of Thursday evening : " A duel took place this afternoon, at about five o'clock, between M. Thiers and M. Bixio, in consequence of what occurred in the Assembly. The seconds of M. Thiers were MM. Piscatory and Heckel-en, and those of M. Bixio MM. Fuvreau and Victor Le!ranc. The duel took place in the Bois de Boulogne, after vain attempts at reconciliation. The principals tired twice, but neither of them were wounded ; and the seconds then CaltlO for ward to put an end to the duel, declaring that the par ties had done all that their honour required. M. Thiers and M. Bixio returned to the Assembly just as the sittinc , was adjourned." The e National has the following:— " Several re presentatives loudly expressed their asto nishment yesterday in the lobbies of the Assembly at the extraordinary susceptibility of M. TRIERS with regard to M. BRIO. These representative declared that they had heard M. Tunas utter the words which have been publicly attributed to him, and which, up to the present moment, he had not thought proper to deny." The debate on the Roman question was adjourned. The Evenement says— " The Aide-de-camp of the lmperor of Russia, who arrived yesterday in Paris, has been presented to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, by M. Kisselet, the Russian Chola d'Affaires. Alter a long conterence, the Russian Envoy is said to have declared that the Emperor Nicholas, founding his right upon the positive text of treaties, would regard as a declaration of the war the entrance of a French fleet in the . Dardanelles. We are assured that orders have been given to our fleet, which has just lett Toulon, to join the English fleet off Naples." At the sittings of the High Court of Versailles, on Monday, M. CREMIEUX presented a protest, signed by himself and all the advocates for the defence, against the insults offered them by the witness PETIT. The protest was read in court and deposited _with the clerk. M. VAYIN has addressed a letter to the journals describing the progress that has been made in the liquidation of the debts of the Orleans family. Two instalments, each of twenty per cent., have been paid to the artists, the builders, purveyors, workmen, &c. All creditors for sums below 350 f. have been, or are about to be, paid in full; and those of between 350 f. and 1000 f. will also be paid off in a very short time Arrangements have been made, and the funds reserved to pay off in full before ie end of the year all the creditors of Madame ADELAIDE without exception. The creditors for estates purchased have been also called on to come and receive forty per cent. on the amount due to them. The letter states that the creditors which are not included in the above division are the State, the Caisse des Depots et Consignations, and the house of Messrs. ROTUS CHILD. The letter also calls on all those creditors i who by error or omission have not been included 1 in the above distributions to send in their claims, which would have immediate attention. The Republicans have gained a great triumph at the Bcurdeaux election, having returned their can didate by a very large majority over his Legitimatist and Orleanist opponents. At the close of the election the numbers were— Legarde (Republican) M. Gauthier (Orleanist) .M. Ravez (Legitimatist) 7,000 The Gazette des Hdpitaux gives the gratifying intelligence that not a single case of cholera occurred either in the Hospice, the civil or military hospitals, or the city of Paris on Wednesday. This was the first day that a blank occurred in the returns, so far as cholera is concerned. PARIS BOURSE, FRIDAY, OCT. 19. " Some undone widow sits upon mine arm, And takes away its stren.gtb. My sword is g,lucd To its worn scabbard by poo r or p hans' tears.' Is Ireland to continue for ever a dark puzzle in the history of nations ? Her present condition is calcu lated to sicken the heart, and make her friends turn away in despair, if not in loathing—from one end to the other there is scarcely a spot upon which the eye of the philanthropist can rest with the smallest hope for her amelioration ; east, west, north, south—to what ever point you turn there seems to be one widespread combination against law and order. In Ulster the demon of religious feuds has armed one insane and wicked faction against the other. The Orangeman and Ribbonman, setting at defiance all law, human and Divine, are panting with the fury of wild beasts to shed each other's blood. In other parts of that wretched land a general conspiracy against the rights of property strikes at the very foundation of social order and civilization. The Orangeman of the north is resolved to imbrue his hands in the blood of the Papist—the conspirator of the south no longer seeks the shade of night to do his evil deeds, but in open day bares his red right hand, and strikes down his victim on GOD'S holy Sabbath! The Sunday shines no holy-day for the murderer of the south. On the day, nay, perhaps the very hour, when millions are pouring forth their orisons to the throne of GOD, he crawls to the wayside to shed the blood of his fellow man, and send him unprepared before his MAKER. Such at this moment is the anomalous state of a country rich in all the resources to make a nation great and happy, with a people naturally full of high and generous im pulses, and who, by their industry and genius, win their way to the highest places in every country on the habitable g!obe, save only their own ill-fated land. If we were learned in the lore of the astrologers ; if we were believers in astral influences, we would be disposed to think it hopeless to contend against the malignant star which would seem to rule the destiny of Ireland. But firmly believing that it is not in their stars, but in themselves, that we are to seek the cause of their wretchedness, we do not despair. We have too much reliance on British Law—we have too strong faith in the prudence, firmness, and wisdom of the Nobleman who is entrusted with its administra tion : we believe that Lord CLARENDON Will act with an energy suited to the occasion, and will make the law equally respected by the pampered peer and the rebellious peasant, by the bloodthirsty Orangeman and the vindictive Ribbon man. The crisis of Ireland has, we believe, arrived. Lord CLARENDON'S fitness to govern that country is again about to be tested; on the issue depends the future destiny of Ireland. The Orangemen of the north are, it seems, determined to measure swords with the constituted authorities. They threaten to wreak vengeance on the Catholics for the insult, of they deem it, put upon Lord RODEN and upon BEERS. Preparations are making for a deadly onslaught on the sth of November; the shout of " to Hell or Connaught," is again to be raised in the north, because magistrates have been relieved from duties which they refused to discharge ; because Lord CLARENDON did an act approved of by all the good and wise in both islands, the furious bigots of the north are in a blaze. Lord CLARENDON, armed with right and law, can afford to despise the insane vauntings of these lip-loyal Orange men, who shouted Protestant ascendancy when they were not interfered with in the innocent pa , time of shooting Papists. But the moment it is Ann iunced that these Papists are to receive the protection of British law—the moment the principle of equal and impartial laws to all her ➢IAJESTT's subjects is enun ciated, then the Ulster Orangemen throw off the flimsy disguise, and stand forth in open hostility to those laws which their long unpunished ruffianism led them to believe were made exclusively for them selves- The market has acquired additional firmness to-day, and prices at the close were again marked higher— Threes leaving off at 55f. 75c., and Fives 83f. 53.

Yet these are the men who dare to ask for the sympathy of the manly and generous people of Great Britain ; these are the men who would appeal to the sympathies of a common faith and a common origin, with the law-loving and common-sense people of England. Jour( BULL repudiates the claim, rejects the unholy alliance; he has nothing in common with such hyenas. If the brave and manly English man meets his adversary in fair open fight, he will seek the victory by every means of courage and manhood, but the moment the fight is over, and the guerdon won, he is ready to stretch forth his right hand to his gallant foe, and, whether victor or vanquished, is alike free from vain boasting or vindictiveness ; he would not continue for ages to trample upon a fallen foe, nor add insult to defeat. The fair- play-loving people of England have no sympathies with the Orangemen of Ulster. The Orange magistrates of the County Down abdicated the functions of their office when they refused to administer the laws, and make evil doers amenable to justice ; and the Irish Viceroy would have been guilty of treason to the Constitution if he did not vindicate the majesty of offended justice by removing the Castlewellan magistrates from the commission of the peace ; and Lord RODEN, Lord ANNESLEY, and the Marquis of DOWNSHIRE would be much better employed in improving the wretched condition of the bleak and barren neighbourhood of the late scenes of blood and massacre than in giving countenance to the violaters of the law. Castlewellan, the property of one or two of these noblemen, is a disgrace to the north; no part of the south or west could exceed it ; in squalor, poverty, and neglect, it stands out amid the industry and general improvement of the north a plague -spot and a curse, as savage and uncivilized as its inha bitants. There was one circumstance connected with the investigation at Castlewellan, to which we intended on former occasions to advert—we mean the attempt on the part of a Noble Lord to deprive the unfortu nate relatives of the fallen victims at Dolly's Brae of the benefit of legal assistance ; but the manly and resolute manner in which the rude insolence was met by a young professional gentleman, Mr. REA, o f fast, deserves the highest praise .

In Vienna the people are moody, sullen, and brooding. In Hungary the hang ings and shootings continue, and it is said that EUGENE VON BEOTHY, an old Hungarian nobleman, 80 years of age, will be the next victim: The Red EMPEROR has postponed his visit to lksth. The fact is, the crowned MARAT dares not trust himself amongst his Hungarian subjects, lest perchance he might meet with a CHARLO7rE CORDAY. A letter from Vienna states that the ex-Deputy Frscunor continued to be detained in prison, though twice tried and acquitted, on the charge of having been one of the p ermanent committee of the Diet in the affairs of October, 1848. He is a third time to be brought to trial on the same accusation. Field-Marshal RADETZKY left Vienna on the 3d for Milan. By decree of the 10th of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, contersigned by all the Ministers, the taxes on land and real property are to be augmented one-third for the year 1850. The increased in question makes the house and land-tax as high as 21 1.3 d per cent. It was also b e li eve d t h at, to meet the heavy national expenditure, an income-tax of five per cent. would be established. A letter from Sernlin of the 7th states that, in consequence of the difference with Turkey, the Austrian Government had suspended the granting of leave of absence to soldiers of the regiments on the frontiers, and had adopted other military measures. •• se Caledonian Ditto, New 161.

On the Ist of October r a lo ß us avarian Commissioner went to the Ministry ofFinance at Berlin to receive 65,000 thalers, being the part which was due to Bavaria from the Zoll verein. The Finance Department ref used to pay the money, alleging that the Minister of War had effected a seizure of it. The Commissi oner then applied to the Bavarian Ambassador, who addressed himself to the Minister of War, and was told by him that the Prussian Government demands 465,000 thalers from Bavaria fur the expense of the expedition to the Palatinate. What makes the affair more piquant is that Bavaria pretends she did not ask for the armed assistance of Prussia." Four soldiers of tha Landwehr, who took part in the resistance to the Prussian authorities in Rhenish Prussia, have just been executed at Sarrelouis, in virtue of the sentence of a court-martial.

The following particulars were received by the last steamer from the United States, and are dated Prinza palka, Mosquito, July 22 : " Since my last, affairs on this part of the Spanish Main have taken a more definite turn than heretofore. The English agent, or Consul General, has virtually abandoned the government of affairs here. In the following extract you will be able to judge of the laws and order existing hereabouts. I would premise that it is an extract from a letter of Mr. Christie, in answer to complaints concerning the depredations of the Indians in this neighbourhood:— " But I must inform you that it is my strong im pression that the present state of the Mosquito revenue will not enable me to take efficient measures for keeping in order the Indians living at a distance from this place (Grey Town, or St. John's), of whose lawlessness I have complaints; and that if you look to the Mosquito Government to enable you to prosecute, without interruption, your mahogany cutting, I cannot tell you to rely on aid from that quarter. It is true, as you say, that English laws have been adopted as those of this country. In the advice which I give for ad ministering affairs here, I endeavour to guide myself, as far as the circumstances of the country will allow, by English laws ; but 1 am sure I need not iufurm you that the proclamation of English laws will not of itself pro vide the funds necessary for an efficient police, or for tribunals constructed after the model of England.' " From this you will perceive that there is at present no protection for settlers on the coast, although the country holds out inducements offered by few other parts of the world. Mahogany is growing in great abun dance, and a great many hundred logs are rotting on the Barquediers; yet such has been the miserable ad ministration of affairs here that trade has received no en couragement. The hold that Gnat Britain has upon the Mosquito shore has never keen known ; and by what right a Consul-General has administered the af fairs of his Mosquito Majesty is yet a problem. He (the so-called king) bears nominal sway, and yet has a hold on the feeling: of the natives; but as far as ruling is concerned or exercising any authority, be might as well be in the tomb of his ancestors, for all the good he dues to the country. Leaving the beginning of British rule on this coast for future speculation, I will briefly say, that the American and English settlers here are more than ever awake to the necessity of some form of Government being speedily adopted, and it is therefore that I have suvgested the appointment of an American Consul at St. John's. Mr. Christie goes home in the steamer of this month, and the Vice-Consul is left with the high-sound ing title of Governor.' To conclude, affairs here are undergoing a change, and Uncle Sim, ' if his eyes are not dazzled with California gold, had better turn one of them this way." The accounts received to• day from all the great manu facturing towns are of decidedly a more favourable com plexion, and greater activity prevailed both in the mar kets for goods arid yarns.

ITALY. Thei e is nothing new from Rome. Coro nel FORBEF, the Englishman who served under Gnu' tA.mn, arrived at Florence on the 10th. He came 1,-om Bologna with an Austrian passport. The Govery lanent of Tuscany have desired him to quit the territo rie3 of the GRAND DUKE. The Opinione, of Turin, declares that there will be shortly a ch:,,nge in the Turin Cabinet. - Geno:r is filled with Italian patriots who have been compelle•ei to fly from Rome, from Naples, and from Sicily. Among the refugees from Sicily at present at Genoa ar: the Prince and Princess SCORDIA, and their four children. The Prince oft,Scoenut:has been pi o• scribed by the Neapolitan Government ; another proof of the truthfulness of King BOMBA, and of his worthy Minister, FORTUNATO. Letters from Naples describe the conduct of the KING and of Ids Minister as tyrannical and lawless in the extreme. In Naples and Sicily there are at this moment upwards of 40, 000 citizens in prison charged with political offence s. The Princess of SAN Giacomo has been arrested, the son of the Duke of SAN TEODORO has been compelled to fly, and the Ministers CABIATI and BOZZELLI have been dismissed as too lenient. It was said that the King of NAPLES and the POPE would retire to Gaeta, when Naples would be pro claimed in a state of siege, and the prisoners brought before a court-..nartial and shot. There have of late been several communications between the KING and the Red EMPEROR, and it is imagined that these three worthies have organised a regular massacre of the Liberals in their respective dominions. The Nazionale, of Florence, of the 12th, publishes a letter from Naples, stating that the attempt to ar rest the Prince of SAN GIACOMO produced such an impression at Naples that the shops were shut, and the city became deserted. The Russian Minister CREPTOWITCH, on hearing of the attempt, hastened to the KING to intercede for the Prince. The KING ap peared not to know anything about the arrest, and having sent for 'the Minister of the Interior, told him he was surprised at the step he (the Minister) had taken, and bid him leave the PRINCE alone. The Minister answered that there were good reasons for the arrest, as the prosecution for the events of the 15:h of May could not be continued without it. The KING then told the Minister that he would be answerable for the person of the Prince. The ac cusation against him is that he fought at the barri cades; ten witnesses are said . to assert this fact. Count PIETRO FERRETTI, cousi❑ to the POPE, ex- Deputy and ex Minister, has been obliged to take refuge on board a British vessel. The Statuto says that a letter received from Yin cenzl, dated the . 7th, states that Venice is to cease to he a free port. RADETZKY will shortly return in quality of Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom, the capital of which will be Verona.l THE W EST INDIA NAIL. (From the Herald.) SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 20.—The Royal Mail Com pany's steam ship Severn, Captain Vincent, arrived this morning at seven o'clock, from the West Indies, with the usual mails, in charge of Lieutenant Brown, Admiralty Agent. On her homeward voyage the Severn experienced easterly winds, and during the latter part of the pas sage strong gales from the south. On the 16th inst., Mr. James 111. Bolton ' midshipman, on going aloft to close reef the t opsa il , fell from the futtock rigging, and was killed upon the spot, greatly lamented by everyone in the ship. Mr. Bolton was one of the most coarcct and promising young men in the com pany's service. The latest dates brought by the Severn are—Vera Cruz, 15th Sept.; Tampico, 16th; Havannah, 27th ; Jamaica, 21st; Demerara, 18th; Trinidad, 20th; Barbadoes, 27th ; Grenada, 22 , 1; Porto Rico, 24th ; and St. Thomas's 30th ; Bermuda, Oct. 5 ; Mobile, 21st Sept.; Nassau, 30th; and Antigua, 29th. The Severn brings on freight 1,030,785 dollars on merchants' account, 85,275 dollars for the Mexican dividends, 929 serons of cochineal, 23 ditto of jalapa, 92 cases of cigars, 164 bales of tobacco, 31 turtles, 17 barrels and 81 half-barrels of arrowroot, wax figures, &c. The West Indian mail brings us Jamaica dates to Sept. 22, two days later than we had already re ceived by way of the United States. The new Retrenchment Bill for granting imme diate "commutation" to the officials for the diminu tion proposed to be made in their salaries—by paying them the amount of four years prospective reduction, was brought before the house of Assembly on the 21st, and read a second time, with the under standing that the commutation clauses would meet with harsh treatment in committee. Although the new feature of compensation was introduced by a member of the opposition, still it seemed unpopular with that party, they generally preferring the measures of last session. To carry out the scheme, it was stated that 60,0001. would be necessary to pay up the different holders of office, and to raise that amount with an empty treasury seemed to be not the least of the obstacles in the way of its adoption. Upon the satisfactory settle ment of the retrenchment measure hinged all other legislative measures. On the same evening the Im port Duty Bill (which would expire on the Ist of October) was brought forward. It was proposed by a member of the "country party" to pass a short Act, continuing the then existing Act in force until the 31st of December, so as to allow time for agreeing to the details of the General Revenue Bill then before the Committee. This was warmly opposed by the Government party on the ground that Earl Grey's dispatch to the Governor left him no alternative than to refuse to sanction the pass ing of the Bill for less than twelve months. A lengthy discussion ensued,. which ended in the mo tion being carried-24 members voting for, 18 against. It was fully expected that this vote would lead to a collision between the Governor and the House. . _ From the reports of the proceedings of the House of Assembly, it would seem that an angry feeling exists between members of the two sections, which has broken out into occasional "scenes." The dates from Trinidad are to the Ist. The proceedings of the Council of Government were engrossing public attention. The sittings of the 52d and two following days of August were devoted entirely to the consideration of measures of re trenchment, in connexion with the annual estimates. The subject was brought forward by Mr. Fuller, on the ground that the colony was unable to bear its present public burdens. The Attorney-General spoke in opposition. After three days' discussion resolutions amounting to a recommendation to the Colonial-office fur retrenchment were agreed to. An epidemic, supposed to be the small-pox, had made its appearance at San Fernando, and many deaths had occurred, principally among persons of unclean habits. During the severe dry weather that has been experienced in the West Indian Islands, the St. Cruz mountains, and their immediate district, ap pears to have suffered most. In one parish 112 horses and 200 head of stock died. The pimento crop is nearly destroyed, and so scarce was water to drink th3t hundreds of the settlers had to travel miles to obtain even a small quantity for their families. From Bermuda we learn that the Colonial Govern ment was prorogued by his Excellency the Governor in person on the 2d of October. Nothing of import ance had taken place during the session. RE - VIEW OF — MARKETS. (From the Jamaica Dispatch of Sept. 2.) Brandy remains firm at our last quotations. Coffee—There have not been any transactions, there not being any at market. Rice—Sales East Indian have been made at 12s 9d per 100 lbs. for )cllow, and 14 per 100 lbs. for white. There is not any demand fur Carolina. Burn has been taken at 2s 3d per gallon, for proof 21. Sugar may be said to be slightly advancing in value.

A STREET Row.—A lad named John Joyce and a girl named Mary Chapman were charged with baring create d a disturbance in the public streets and assaulted an officer in the execution of his duty. Police-constable F 182 stated that at an early hour this morning the prisoners, with several others, were creating a disturbance opposite a low coffeehouse in the Leighbourhood of Drury-lane, tend he requested them to go away about their business. Instead, however, of doing so, they commenced abusing him in a filthy strain, and attempted to throw him down. The two prisoners were by tar the most violent, the lad kicking him on the shins, and otherwise assaulting him, while the girl urged him on with such expressions as "Go it, Jack; stick to him; pitch into him." His lamp they managed, to render useless, and it was not until the ass i s t a nce vg two other constables had been obtained that they could be carried to the station-house. The officer exhibited his lamp, which was completely bent to, and the glass being smashed, it was quite hopeless to think of re pairing it. Mr. HENRY asked if the prisoners were drunk? The officer said, the lad was, but the girl appeared sober. Mr. HENRY asked the lad what he had to say for himself ? The prisoner replied, that having met a friend who had just returned from sea, he had taken * drop too much; but he denied that he had either as saulted the officer or made use of abusive language. The fact was, the officer handled him in a very rough manner , and that was what occasioned all the disturbance. The officer said there was not a word of truth in this , and informed the Magistrate that both prisoners were well known as the associates of thieves, the female eel' rying on her nefarious avocations under the guise of 0 , street flower-girl, %bile the lad was frequently observe d at all hours of the night helping notorious .thieves g 0 carry on their felonious operations. Mr. HENRY asked the girl if she had anything to oaf in answer to the charge?—She had nothing to sal further than that so far from urging on her companie° to assault the officer, she did all she could to persuade him to go quietly to the station. Mr. HENRY tined the lad 405., or three weeks' imp& sonment, and the girl 205., or fourteen days. The fines were of course not forthcoming, and the prisoners were accordingly committed. ROYAL SEA- BATMIN G INFIRMARY.—The anniver' nary dinner of this institution took place yesterday, Al the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill. The Lor d Mayor took the chair, supported by Mr. Alderniso Gibbs, Mr. Sheriff Nicol, Mr. D. W. Wire, under' sheriff; and other gentlemen. The Chairman, in Pro posing the health of her Majesty, stated that the citizen. of London were at all times delighted to express their sentiments of loyalty, but on the present occasion they were more especially called upon to drink this toast, ill' asmuch as her Majesty, after having traversed various parts of her dominions under unprecedented eircutn; stances, had shown her r egar d f or t h e i n h a bi ta nts °I this city by signifying her intention to meet them during the present month. He had the greatest possible 0' sure in proposing the health of the Queen, and in doir , so, he would fain hope that her Majesty would alws) s find the citadel of loyalty in the city and amongst Of citizens of London. This toast was responded to with great enthusiasm. The usual loyal and national toasts having been drunk, the Chairman rose to propose pros' perity to the Royal Sea-Bathiug Infirmary. There were, many charitable institutions which possessed strong local claims upon the benevolence of the public, but , our present institution stood forward independent local claims, and bad given assistance to the whole Po" pulation. Such an establishment as the Royal'Seo' Bathing Infirmary was calculated to be most useful ,_ l° the wo rl d at large, and he had no doubt that the 50° : scribers would very soon amount to double the numb er that they consisted of at the present moment. This stitutiou was of that ckaracter which was peculiarly of e,', to the poor and needy, and he was happy to find that was making such progre ss in p ubl ic favour. Se 11; gretted to ray that this was the las t occasion on whi t he should have the honour to preside at the festival of any public institution, but he sincerely trusted though the last it would tiot be the least succes sful. 9 (Hear, hear.) lie was extrem e ly h appy to add hi s Wi t , of ten g uineas to the funds of th e i nst i tut i on, an d be wai very glad to find that the subscriptions would not be l es ) than they had been in former years.—(Loud chee r s •) Lord Mayor shortly afterwards retired.
