Zbirb 'itttion FRANCE. It is stated that General Lamoriciere is on his road from St. Petersburgh to Paris. The Synod of the Catholic Church held its last sitting on Friday. The ceremony commenced with the usual religious rites. The stalls of the chapel were occupied by ten bishops in full costume. Amongst them were the Apostolic Nuncio and Mon signor Nakar, Archbishop of Naby and Kerintime (Mount Lebanon), and Father Regis, Superior of the Trappists of Staonelli, was also present. After chanting the Yeni Creator, the decrees were pro mulgated in the following order :-1, the diocesan synods; 2, the errors which attack the groundwork of religion. The errors condemned are :—On the nature of God ; on supernatural order ; on the holy book ; on the Holy Trinity ; 3, on the new sect called the (Euvre de la Illisericorde ; on the non-re cognized miracles and prochecies : 5, on holy images, on the respect due to them, and on the errors to be avoided with regard to them ; 6, on the errors I which destroy the foundation of justice and of charity ; 7, on the ecclesiastical tribunals ; 8, on the residence ; 9, on the sanctification of Sundays and fete -days; 10, on the preaching of the Word of God, and on the baptism of children ; 11, on observing dignity in religious ceremonies ; 12, on the visit and care of the sick ; 13, on the duties of the clergy during times of epidemy ; 14, on the exe cution of pious foundations; 15, on charitable offerings ; 16, on the conduct of the clergy in political affairs ; 17, on the intervention of the press in religious questions ; 18, on the relations of Catholics with thc3e of other creeds ; 19, on eccle siastical studies, on theological grades, and the examination of young priesta; 20, on the execution of decrees. The reading of the above decrees occu pied nearly two hours, after which all the bishops present affixed their signatures to them. The Arch bishop of Paris then addressed the Synod in a very impressive speech, and concluded by requesting the Apostolic Nuncio to present to the sovereign Pentiff the homage and wishes of the Synod. The ceremony concluded with chanting the Te Deum. General Melchior Pacheco y Obes, Minister Pleni potentiary of the Republic of Uruguay, charged with . a special mission to the French Government, has had an audience of the President of the Republic, whom he addressed as follows : " Monsieur le President,—Tho Government of the Republic of Uruguay has done me the honour to accre dit me to the Government o' France, over which you so worthily preside, in order to claim that justice which the conv,mion rec:Aiily entered into with its enemies re fuses to my country. My country, as well as its Go • vernraent, have not for a moment doubted the obtaining of that jusiice, bi.causc they know that France is a great ntion, arid that a name appears at the heart of its Government which is incompatible with anything which would not be for the grandeur, the jsstiee, and the honour of France." _ _ _ The Presideat of the Republic, received the new Envoy of Monte Video with the greatest courtesy and kit:chess, and terminated the interview by saying— I have no other interest than that of the French in whatever part of the world they may be, and I will do ev6rything that depends on me to maintain the honour and dignity of France." SWITZERLAND. A letter from Geneva states that a duel has taken place near Lausanne, between Sergeant Boichot, the S )ciali,t representative for Paris, and a Spanish officer of the Regiment of Isabella Segun la. It ap p_ars, that whilst on board a steamboat between Nyon and Lausanne, Sergeant Boichot spoke in dis respectful terms of the young Queen of Spain and Donna Maria of Portugal. Count Moreno, of the above-mentioned regiment, contradicted in strong terms what was stated by Boichot. The latter repeated what he had said, and added, " I hope that the Spaniards will some day prostrate them selves before Lola Montes and choose her for Queen." The Count instantly demanded satis faction for this language. A meeting was arranged for the same evening in the wood of Greni, on the brink of the lake. The Count was attended by an officer of Dragoons, and a colonel in the service of the King of NV urtemberg. Sergeant Boichot had as seconds M. Felix Pyat and Dr. Perrin, of iNlont toul. They fought with pistols at a distance of twenty paces. No injury was done at the first shots. On the second fire the Count was severely wounded in the shoulder and neck, and at the same moment Sergeant Boichot received a ball bet.veen the ribs of the left side. He was so severely wounded that it became necessary to carry him from the ground on a mattress. NAPLES AND SICILY. The following notes have passed between Mr. Temple, the British Minister at Naples, and M. For tunato, the Neapolitan Minister for Foreign Affairs : - . " 10 HIS EXCELLENCY THE CHEVALIER FORTUNATO. " Najites, Sept 16. " The undersigned, her Britannic Mjesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, has the honour to inform his Excellency the Chevalier Fortu nato, Minister, Secretary of State, President of the Council, charged with the Portfolio of Foreign Affairs, that he has been instructed by his Government to state to his Excellency, that tho part which the British Go vernment has, by various circumstances, and by the repeated invitation of the Neapolitan Crown, and in more recent times, taken in the affairs of Sicily, and the sincere interest which her Majesty's Government feels in the welfare and prosperity of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, ir. duce her Majesty's Government to address the Government of Naples on the present occasion, in the full confidence that his Sicilian Majesty and his Govern ment will do justice to the friendly feelings by which this comraunication is dictated. " The diplomatic agents of the British Crown were urgently invited last year by his Sicilian Majesty to employ their good offices, as reprensentatives of the British Government, for the purpose of endeavouring to bring about an amicable adjustment of the differences which unhappily prevailed between his Majesty'a Go vernment and his Sicilian subjects, and the British agents were authorised by her Majesty's Government to comply with his Sicilian Majesty's request. But the British agents and her Majesty's Government well knew that the discontent among the Sicilians, which had given rise to the disturbances which had then broken out in Sicily, was deeply rooted, general, and of long standing, and that it had been occasioned by the prevalence for a long course of years of many practical abuses, which owed their existence, and their continuance, to the sus pension of the ancient Constitution of Sicily as it had been modified and revised in 1812, under the auspices of the British Government, and with the Royal sanction and acceptance; and, therefore, the British diplomatic agents declined to employ their good offices as requested by his Sicilian Majesty, unless they were empowered to assure the Sicilians that the Constitution of Sicily, as revised in 1812, with certain prescribed modifications, should be put again into action, because they well knew that unless this was done, the well-founded discontent which had occasioned the disturbances could never be expected to cease. "A variety of circumstances, well known to the Neapolitan Government, rendered usslese the efforts by which at different periods, in 1848 and 1849, the British Government sought to effect, upon the bases above men tioned, a reconciliation between his Sicilian Majesty and his Sicilian subjects. Sul ce it to say, that upon the last occasion, in March last, her Majesty's Government, in conjunction with the Government of France, recom mended tho Sicilians to agree to the conditions offered to them by the King in his proclamation at Gaeta of the 28th of February last, although her Majesty's Go vernment could not but acknowledge that the arrange ments described in that proclamation fell short of the provisions contained in the Constitution of 1812, to which the sanction and assent of the Crown of Naples had been solemnly given. Unfortunately at that mo ment the exasperation produced by the events which had taken place at Messina in the preceding September still prevailed in the minds of those who had the conduct of affairs at Palermo, the arrangements proposed by the proclamation of Gaeta were refused, and preparations were made for defending Palermo to the last extremity. It is astreat satisfaction to her Majesty's Government to know that the effusion of blood and loss of life which the attack and defence of Palermo would have occasioned, both to the King's troops and the people of Palermo, and the grievous calamities which such a conflict would most probably have brought down upon all the inhabitants of the city, were averted by the friendly interposition of a British subject, and of her Majesty's civil and naval officers, and that by their means the authori t y of the Kin g was :re. established at Palermo peaceably and without the shedding of a single drop of blood. But the people of Palermo submitted thus peaceably to the authority of the King because they were assured that the King would faithfully observe the promise which on his Royal word he had made, that a general amnesty should be granted to his Sicilian subjects ; and, considering the share which British office rs h a d in bringing arrangement, - her Majesty's about this peaceful Government thinks itself entitled to express its confident hope that the Royal pro mise will not be broken, and that the amnesty one t h efaith of which the Palermitans s u b m i tted will b ob served by the Government of his Sicilian Majesty. "Her Majesty's Government, moreover, remembering the part which Great Britain was called to take in tb - p. remodelling of the Sicilian Constitution of 1812, canadt refrain from submitting to the :consideration of his Sicilian Majesty, and of his Government, that the Sicilian people cannot be justly deemed to have forfeited their ancient and acknowledged right to that Constitu tion by reason of the efforts which they have made to recover the practical enjoyment of it; and her Majesty's Government would further beg to represent that a continued suspension of those ancient and indisputable rights of the Sicilian people would necessarily perpes tuato and aggravate that evident discontent which has of late made Sicily the theatre of such calamitous con flicts, and that thus the connexion between Sicily and Naples would ha liable to be severed by contingencies, either domestic or foreign, the possibility of a hich the sagacity of the Neapolitan Government must render it unnecessary for her Majesty's Government to point out. The undersir."nt d avails hi mse lf o f thi s op p or t un it y to renew to his ExeJlleney the assurance of his most distinuishod consideration. Wzuwl Unrix." THE SUN, LONDOM The reply : " Naples, Sept. 20. " Sir,—l have received the note of the 16th inst. which your Excellency has done me the honour to address to me, and have, in the performance of my duty, submitted it to the consideration of my august Sovereign. His Majesty has charged me to recal to the memory of your Excellency, in a brief resume, the circumstances which have produced the actual state of things. "So far as regards the good offices of the English diplomacy, employed for the purpose of terminating the rebellion in Sicily, as well as for procuring changes in the Government founded on the Constitntion of 1812, I have the honour to state to your Excellency, that this subject, and everything connected with it, have been already discussed at great length, fully argued, and finally recognised to have no weight or value ; and at the same time, I must be permitted to remind you, that the generous concessions made by his Majesty in his sovereign act dated at Gaeta, the 28th of February, were wound up by the following conditions:— " All such concessions must be considered as not promised, nor made, in case Sicily does not imme diately submit to the authority of its legitimate Sove reign; and that in case the royal army shall be com pelled to act in a military manner for the purpose of re• occupying that part of the royal dominions ' the island shall suffer all the consequences of war, and forfeit the advantages offered to it iu the present set of concession.' " Your Excellency cannot bo ignorant of the unpro ductive steps taken by the two Admirals—Parker and Baudin—in Sicily, nor leave out of consideration the exertions, which immediately followed, of your Excel lency and of the Count de Raynoval, when you both went to Palermo for the purpose of persuading the in surgents to accept the benevolent concessions and gene rous pardon of their Sovereign. " Neither can your Excellency cease to remember the insolent answers, and the cries of war with which you and those distinguished persons were persecuted, raised by a few hundred men, paid for that purpose by those who had so long disturbed the peace of unfortunate Si- cily; and yen cannot attach any value to those expres sions, save as the best evidence that can now be offered of an erroneous i mpression which produced so many illegal and ill-ad via: d proceedings. Indeed, your Excellency and the Count de Rayneval, full of sorrow at the non success of your joint effsrts to bring about the pacifica tion of Sicily, did, the ono on the 28th, and the other on the 30th of March last, convey in writing to the Go cerement of his Majesty, your heartfelt regrets that your exertions had proved fruitless and of no avail. " Finally, your Excellency, so wise and enlightened cannot doubt that, according to the principles establinliad by all Governments of the world, the Government of his Majesty, an independent Sovereign, has the right to regulate the internal administration of its own country according to the inspiration of its justice, without creat ing any prejudice to other nations. " In fine, after having had the honour to establish the principles which revive the condition of ell nations, and shown that the ciTorts of the Sicilian insurgents islded hefere the victorious arms of my eugust Sovereign, and the loyalty of the majority of the population, I have the satisfaction to add that his Majesty is still well disposed of his own free will cstablish su-th forms of administration as are suitable to that part of the kingdom, and are desired by the inhabitants themselves. Alt the measures taken by the wisdom of Prince Satriano since the submission of Palermo have had always in view the spirit of humanity and a complete oblivion of the past. No idea of vengeance has occupied the mind of the Go vernment of his Majesty in the island, and your Excel lency must be informed that up to this hour no execu tion has taken place fcr political offences, and that the severity of the law has been used alone against assassins and disturbers of public order. " Although his Majesty insists fully on the principle that nu foreign Government has a right to interfere in the internal administration of other countries, I cannot deprive myself of the pleasure of explaining to the Govern ment of an allied and friendly power that Sicily at this moment enjoys perfect tranquillity, that the inhabitants are happy in being restored to the protection of their legitimate Sovereign, and if no foreign agent attempts to disturb the peace now actually prevailing in the island, his Majesty is certain that all his subjects will be united in an indissoluble bond of love and loyalty to their legit' - late Sovereign.—l have the honour, &c., " FORTUNATO."

ALLEGED MURDER.—PRESTON, SATURDAY.—Yes terday, Henry Glover, son of a respectable farmer, of Lea House, Lea, near Leagato Railway Station, was charged More the Mayor and several other Magistrates sitting in the Council Chamber of the Town Hall, with the murder of Edward La tham, a gardener, employed by Mrs. Podder, at Ashton Lodge, in this parish. The deceased was found on Monday last, by the police-constable lying under one of the arches of the Wyre Railway. Life was extinct, but the body was quite warm, blood was flowing from his nose and ears. The body was forth. with removed to the Rawstone Arms public-house. Mr. R. Palmer, the district coroner, baying been apprised of the finding of the body, held an inquest en the same, when it appeared that the prisoner and the deceased left the Water Trough public-house on the previous Sunday night in company with other men; the latter left them, and shortly after a person named Charles Billington saw the prisoner standing up and the deceased on the ground, when the former said " Hest thou had enough?" Wit ness went towards the one ou the ground, when the first one run away a few paces, but returned directly, and seeing witness, he said, " Holies, Charley, is that thou?" Ile proceeded along the road in company of the pri soner, when the prisoner said " Shall I turn back end finish him?" Witness replied " No." Ile afterwards said it was a bad job, and witness must not mention what he had done. The case assuming such a serious complexion against the prisoner, he declined saying anything in his defence, and he was remanded. NOVEL MODE OF CHEATING THE RAILWAY.— A few days ago a woman got into a second-class rail way carriage attached to a down train for Nottingham. In her armishe carried a ponderous-looking babe, dressed in long clothes, and with its head entirely concealed be neath her shawl. Several times during her journey the half-smothered child made a noise very much like the barking of a dog. The repetition of these unnatural sounds aroused the sympathy of an old lady travelling in the same carriage, who remarked, " What a dreadful cold that child's got, to be sure." The distressed baby's nurse replied that the poor thing had got a severe attack of the influenza, and she was afraid it would turn to the hooping cough. When they arrived at Nottingham, the active ticket collector opened the door of the carriage, and exclaimed rather abruptly, " Tickets, please." This awakened the slumbering object in the woman's arms, and an angry, but this time unmistakeable bark burst forth, to the astonishment of the official, who, however, lifted up the woman's shawl, and exposed the head of one of the canine species, ludicrously wrapped in an infant's long dress. Extra fare was immediately de manded, which the woman reluctantly paid, amidst the jeers and laughter of the passengers.—Nottinghame Guardian. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF BODIES SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN MURDERED. Throughout Friday and Saturday great sensation :prevailed in the vicinity of High-street, Borough, in consequence of the following discovery. Some children who were playing in the lofts of the Old White Hart Inu (celebrated by Dickens in the "Pickwick Papers," but which is now chiefly let out in lodgings), threw down into the yard what proved to bo a human skull. This led to inquiry, and by the aid of the police and Mr. Thwaits, churchwarden of St. Saviour's, search was made, when various bones, form ing three perfect skeletons were f oun d, one that of a young female, and evidently deposited there very re cem ly. In the same portion of the loft was discovered a heap of arsenic, which had fallen from a rotten paper bag. In an upper loft, communicating with the former by a hole in the ceiling, were found three stockings, a female's cap, and part of a chemise, a portion of a man's shirt, a leather glove, and a cotton cravat, apparently o sa turated with blood.

OPENIN G OF THE EA1....11AT - FRT:11I CILLI TO LAl n.tcu.—A letter from Laibach, of the 17th instant, announces the opening of the line of railway from Cilli to Laibach with great ceremony. The Emperor having been prevented from attending by the meeting of his Generals at Vienna, he was represented by the Arch duke Albrecht. On the arrival of the train at Laibach, where some 40,000 spectators were assembled, the bishop pronounced a blessing upon the station. A grand banquet and ball were given in the evening. At the former, the Chevalier Von Bruck, the only Minister that accompanied his Imperial Highness the Archduke, made an appropriate speech, and concluded by proposi ng " The prosperity of the City of Laibach. " ' On the following moining the Archduke and his suite returned to Vienna. Passengers and goods trains have already commenced running. Thus another important link in the great line which is to connect Vienna with her richest sea port, Trieste, has been completed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. Francis Betsow, one of the relieving-over seers of Bethnal-green Union, attended before Mr. Arnold, to answer a complaint preferred against him of having unlawfully refused to furnish proper relief to three female orphans named Wells, varying in age from four to eight years, the children of parents both of whom had recently fallen victims to cholera. The complaint was preferred by an aunt of the children, a woman named Sarah Cheverill, the wife of a weaver in distressed circumstances, from whose statement it appeared that the parents of the little girls, who then lodged in one of the most confined and filthy streets in the parish of Shoreditch, were attacked, about three weeks since, by cho lera, and having died almost at the same time. the medical gentleman who had been in at tendance upon them in their last moments recom mended the immediate removal of the children to a more healthy locality, lest they should fall victims also. She (the applicant) consented, under the me lancholy circumstances, to receive them, and trans ferred them to the residence of her husband, in Wilmot-street, Bethnal-green ; but as they were very impoverished themselves, and incapable of perma nently providing for the children, she was obliged I about a week ago to apply to the parish authorities for assistance, and requested the overseer either to afford them some outdoor relief or admit the little girls into the workhouse. The overseer refused to do either, intimating that she had voluntarily brought the burden of the children's maintenance upon her own shoulders by unnecessarily introducing them into a parish where they had no legal settlement, and as several subsequent applications for something to be done for them had met with no better result, she was compelled at last to come to this court to obtain the magistrate's intervention on behalf of the orphans, al her husband was incapable of keeping them any longer. in answer to these allegations the overseer stated, that ho did not conceive he should be justified, or ful filling his duties properly to the ratepayers of an already overburdened locality, in affording the relief demanded in such a case, without the express sanction of the board of guardians, as the children bad no claim whatever upon the parish they bad been brought to, and had, in fact, as he believed, already received some assistance from the pariah authorities of Mile end, where, he understood, they had lived for a short time since the death of their parents under the care of another relative. The aunt of the children, more over, had been subjected to the customary examina tion at the office of the vestry-clerk, with the view to eliciting their real place of se Alement, but she was either unable or unwilling, lie could not say which, to furnish the requisite information on the subject, and he therefore considered himself fully warranted in refusing the woman's application for relief until he was put in possession of sufficient particulars to enable him to pass the children in due form to the parish which was legally amenable to them. Mr. ARNOLD was willing to believe that the over seer had acted in the matter in accordance with what he believed to be the strict line cf his duty, but he felt satisfied, at the same time, that the board of guardians would be anxious to see a considerate view taken where such a melancholy calamity had occurred, and he must say that he thought it would be a cruel case if three poor helpless children, who had been so suddenly deprived of both their parents by such a terrible visitation, should be refused any kind of relief. Whether the little girls really belonged , to Bethnal-green or not, it was manifest that they were at all events at present casual paupers in that parish, and as such he considered that the overseer was bound to relieve them, until he found himself in a condition to transfer the burden of their support to their proper or permanent place of settlement, wherever tnat might be. After some further conversation the overseer inti mated his readiness to afford the children temporary relief, until an opportunity presented itself for obtaining further directions on submitting the case for the decision of the board of guardians upon it., LAMBETH. On Saturday Mr. Horace Knight, a young fellow whose friends are of the highest respectability, and who a short time since held a situation of high trust on one of the metropolitan lines of railroad, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of passing various forged cheques drawn on the bank of Master man and Co. Mrs. Eliza Robinson, of 25,Cresby-row, Walworth road, deposed that on the evening of the 13th instant the prisoner entered her shop and asked her for change of a 51. cheque he then produced. Believing the cheque to be genuine, and knowing the prisoner's father, who had been a customer of her husband for many years, to be a gentleman of the highest respect. ability, she, without hesitation, gave him the change. O. the following day her husband presented the cheque at the banking-uotme, and was told there were no effects. Police-constable 125 P deposed that on the preced ing night he met the prisoner in the Walworth-road, and knowing he was ' wanted," he stopped him, and asked if be knew anything about forged cheques, and he replied he did not, and did not knew what be meant. Witness, however, told him he must accom pany him to the station, and on the way there he said he did know something about a cheque, but should make it all right. Sergeant Quinnear, 1 P, requested that the priso ner might be remanded to a future day, when he should be prepared to produce witnesses to establ'sh several other cases against him. The prisoner, on whose person, when apprehended, three cheques similar to those he had passed were found, was remanded to a future day. THAMES. 117-1 Mary Smith, alias Merrick, Bridget Mackenzie, 211ary Ann Sullivan, rid Catherine Pratt, were brought up on remand charged with hocussing end robbing Mr. David Dorwrrd, a master =liner. Mr. INGHAM said he should again remand the psi soners, who would be ultimately committed for trial. At the suggestion of Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, he directed that the deposition of the prosecutor should be formally taken and returned to the sessions, and then remanded the prisoners for another week. SOUTH WARK. During Saturday afternoon Mr. Joseph Solomons, the solicitor to Mrs. Manning, attended before Mr. Seeker to make an application for an important letter now in the hands of the police. Mr. Solomons informed Mr. Sacker that Mrs Manning had sent for him to the gaol that morning, and requested him to obtain a letter now in the hands of the police, and which was taken away from her by Mr. Moxey, the superintendent of the Edin burgh police. That letter, she believed, was of the utmost consequence to her in getting up her defence, as it was sent to her by O'Connor, while she was in the service of Lady Blantyre. He, therefore, begged to have that letter handed over to him as her solicitor, so that it might be used as his client desired. He begged to say, that the letter in question was ad dressed to her in her maiden name," Maria de Roux," at Stafford-house, St. James's Park. Mr. SECKER—The letter you speak of is in the possession of the police, and may be of some import ance to them; therefore I cannot allow it to go out of their hands. Was Mrs. Manning married at that time ? Mr. Solomons—She was not, I believe ; but from her statement to me I think it will clear up the mys tery respecting the property found on her. Mr. Edwin (chief clerk)—Perhaps a copy of the letter might serve Mr. Solomon's purpose. There could be no objection to his taking one. The letter is in the hands of Inspector Yates,who will show it on receiving an order from the magistrate. Mr. SECLER—I have no objection to allow Mr Solomons to have a copy of that letter, but the ori ginal must be retained in the hands of the police ; es I said before, it may be of importance. Mr. Solomons—A copy of the letter in question will be quite sufficient for my purposes, as Mrs. Manning wishes merely to know the contents. Mr. SECKER—You may have a copy by applying to Inspector Yates. Mr. Solomons thanked the magistrate, and with. drew for that purpose. In the latter part of the day Mr. SECKER received the following letter : nz)tnishs:ensirrsc_onor‘u'tutVhatipetwaonsaniinsrviekhtertarpmavaroilotnlniraCedeeoms;trocatyaoand,ugdirets of in e So e u x t p h m am in p a t t o io n n , S of ep t t h . e 2B w . it. theor M theera. and early y murder partr der Mrs. ofo rManning Patrick August last, I think it my duty to society to inform you that I have reason to believe that Mrs. Manning lodged in y house as above; that she was b roug h t h ero by one of The rr;lway guards of the name of Hopson; that she arrived on or about the 13th or 14th of that month (August), and remained in my hou se th ree d ays .

I am informed another examination is to take place, and should you think my information of use to the public I am ready to attend. "I am, Sir, your obediant servant, " J. 0. Seeker, Esq. MARY DIME." Mr. SECKER said, he could make no suggestion re specting the letter, especially as he had reason to be lieve Mrs. Manning was at Edinburgh at the time. WANDS W ORTH. Mr. Day, the trunk and packing-case maker of the Strand, attended with his gamekeeper to prefer an information against Mr. Henry Revell Reynolds, joint solicitor to the Treasury, for trespassing upon a farm in the parish of Wimbledon, in the occupation of Mr. John Croker, a fanner, but over which Mr. Day has purchased the right of shooting of a Mr. Drax, the owner of the property. The keeper stated that in the early part of the week he found Mr. Reynolds in a piece of oat stubble; he was carrying an air gun, and he asked him his name. Mr. Reynolds replied, "If you want it you must come across the common ;" but the keeper said he %MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1,: 1849 should not do that, but require him to give up his air gun, as he would not give his name or address. Mr. PAYNTER—And you took the gun with great force—have you restored it ? Mr. Day said be gave it back to Mr. Reynolds on Friday night. The keeper went on to say that the land Mr. Reynolds was upon was a preserve, and caution notices to trespassers were posted r t every available place ; there were pheasants and partridges in the preserve. When the keeper spoke to Mr. Reynolds he said he was looking for rabbits. Mr. PAYNTER observed tht.t there was no doubt Mr. Day wlts entitled to a summons for a trespass, but he must tell the keeper he had no right to take the gun, and if he had been in Mr. Reynolds's place be would have given him in charge of the police for the stealing. It was clear the gamekeeper was unfit for his place, for he did not know his duties. If Mr. Reynolds had shot the gamekeeper it would only have been manslaughter, and the keeper even was liable to be tried for the robbery. The summons was appointed for hearing before Mr. Beadom. ROBBERY OF RAILWAY PARCELS An extensive robbery of valuable parcels, conveyed by the Great Western Company, from South Wales and all parts of the West of England, took place a few days back. On Thursday morning the mail train by the Great Western Railway, leaving Ply mouth at 6.25 rM. on the previous evening, and calling at the intermediate towns upon the route, arrived at the Paddington terminus at 4.15 A.m., laden, in addition to the Post-office mail bags, with between 200 and 300 packages of a miscellaneous character, consisting of bankers' parcels, containing notes, cheques, &c., from local to London banks; so licitors' parcels, enclosing wills, deeds, marriage settlements and other documents, with other papers of considerable value, passing between various metro politan and provincial firms. The parcels were deposited en masse in the parcels-van, and shortly before 7 o'clock the delivery agent of Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, accompanied by a lad, who remains in the cart to watch them, started on his round from Paddington, taking with him the parcels sorted out and strapped together in classified lots, those for the bankers in • one batch, those called by the railway clerks " the lawyers' parcels" in another, the general commercial ones in another, and so on. On ar riving at Featherstone-building ;, Holborn, shortly before eight o'clock, the driver of the van, as usual with him, alighted, leaving the cart in the custody of the lad. Taking with him the lawyers' parcels, he first of all proceeded to the offices of Messrs. Gregory, Faulkner, and Follett, in Bedford row, and there at a few minutes after eight o'clock, ss N the housekeeper, who received the parcels for the firm, when the man, who it would appear had on previous occasions acted thus imprudently, asked permission of the house keeper to be allowed to leave all the parcels strapped together in the office, on account, as he alleged, of their great weight, while he went a little further on in Bedford-row to deliver two others, one for Messrs. Alger, solicitors, and the other for Messrs. Stevens, which he did in the usual manner. In the meantime, however, and within five minutes of his absence from the offices of Messrs. Gregory, a most adroit and daring abstraction of the remaining 20 parcels left there, containing deeds, wills, and valuable issign ments, was effected. Immediately on his return the housekeeper told him one of his fellow-servants had been there, when he said, " Oh, my mate has left the wrong packet of parcels," exchanging at the same time the parcels that had been left for a similar set, strapped together and slung over his shoulder, and leaving word that the man on his return was to meet him at the George and Blue Boar, in Holborn. The man, on his return, of course was in great consterna tion, and could not be convinced of the dexterous mancauvre until an inspection of the parcels deposited in exchange showed that they s ere nothing but " dummies" filled with shavings and waste paper. So close, indeed, was the imitation, that had it not been for the statement of the housekeeper exciting his suspicions, he would have thrown them over his shoulder and proceeded as usual. These dummy parcels, of which there were about a dozen, were bound together with a large strap, precisely in the same fashion as those that were abstracted, but with out any addresses, the part upon which the direction is placed being so contrived as to appear to be turned inside. Between the dummies and the strap was a white leather pocket book, such as are used by the Great Western Railway, marked " Great Western Railway, August, 1149." Thinking there might be some mistake, the man in his trepidation rushed to the George and Blue Boar, but found no one to the appoint ment. He then went to the police-station in Hunter street, Brunswick-square, and gave information of the robbery to the authorities, who immediately communi cated with Messrs. Collard and Lyndon, the police officers of the railway company, and issued a reward for • a eteeeeeseeasts... , ese e,„„ tn az er ei ssises h eeee s ese of the thief. Inspector Smitli, a detective officer of the F division, proceeded to Messrs. Gregory's, and received from the housekeeper a minute description of the thief, who, it appears, the better to aid the decep tion, was dressed like a privileged ticket-porter of the Great Western Railway, the plush jacket and cap having " G. W. R." marked on them in red cloth letters. This leads to the belief that the clothes must have been lent him by some one of the company's servants privy to and implicated in the transaction, and this suspicion is strengthened by the fact that the delinquent has been recently seen drinking with them and in their company. The housekeeper, whose de scription coincides with that of the man now in custody, described him as tall, thin, and about 20. On hearing the description, In spector Smith at once suspected the man to be one of the most expert thieves in London, often in custody, but never yet convicted, and the son of a man who goes by the sobriquet of "Long Taylos." Although familiar with the haunts of t' man and his confederates, the inspector obtained no clue to his capture until between five and six on Friday evening last, when he apprehended him at his lodgings, No. 52, Barclay-street, Somers' Town. He gave his name as George Barton, 18 years of age, but stoutly denied all knowledge of the transaction. Search was made throughout the house, but none of the missing property was forthcoming. The housekeeper at Messrs. Gregory's has since iden tified him. The value of the lost parcels is not yet ascertained, but it is conjectured to he very large, from the fact that one of the solicitors' firms to whom a parcel was directed, and of whom inquiries were made, stated that if the'parcel directed to them was one that was abstracted, its worth was 30,0001. The names of the consignees, who cannot, beyond conjecture, give any account of their contents, are— the Commissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, Portugal-street ; Messrs. Beevor, of Gray's Inn ; Messrs. Vincent, of Castle-areet ; Messrs. Taylor, Chancery-lane; Messrs. Davidson, Lincoln's Inn; Frere, Lincoln's Inn; Ryland, Lincoln's Inn-fields; Whiteacre, Lincoln's Inn; Wrentmore,Lincoln's Inn ; Holme, New Inn ; Coulthurst, New Inn ; Leppard, Bannatyne, and Gannon, Cloak-lane, City ; Goodwin, Walbrook ; Peachey, Old Jewry ; Gregeon, Angel court, City ; Dawes, Angel-ceurt ; Waterlow and Sons, Birchin-lane ; and Wetherby and Sons, Birchin lane. On Saturday afternoon communications were re c3ived from Messrs. Leppard and Bannatyne, to the effect that they had heard from Mr. C. Hassell, of Bristol, that the parcel directed for their firm, and which Wr.9 stolen with the others, contained two un excuted deeds, on which were stamps to the amount of 131. 10s. ; one deed wes an assignment of leasehold property, with stamps, el., :ad valorem. There was also a letter of attorney from Mr. C. Attwood, stamps 305., on paper. Messrs. Taylor, of Chancery-lane; state that the parcel intended for them would contain deeds, and a cheque for 471., payment for which has been stopped at Tiverton. On Saturday also the authorities at the Stamp-office were apprised of the robbery, in the event of any deeds or other documents being offered in the allowance department as spoiled stamps. A large reward will be offered for the restoration of the parcels, should none of them be forthcoming, and up to last night none had been recovered. LOLA MONTES.—Some of the particulars con nected with the recent extraordinary visit to England of this lady have been published, but the following addi• tional facts, the authenticity of which may be relied upon, will, doubtless, be read with interest :—lt appears that while abroad the lady received an anonymous letter upon the subject of the charge of bigamy made against her, the precise contents of which have nol transpired, but they were of such a character as to induce her and her husband immediately to hire a steam-vessel, for which they paid 2001., and to proceed to England. They arrived in London late at night, and early the next morning the lady, with her usual impetuosity, prc ceeded to the house of her solicitor. He was out of town, with all the rest of the world, at that period, and the lady then ordered her carriage to the chambers of Mr. Bodkin, her counsel. Here she met with a fresh disappointment, for she was inform—l that that gentle man had gone to Ramsgate. She resolied to go after him, and made arrangements to start by a Lrain the fol lowing morning; and it happened by an odd coincidence, that Mr. Bodkin, who had been prevented from starting so early as he expected, travelled down by the same train, and the lady and her learned counsel met each other upon the arrival of the train at the station. After , 1 a short consultation, the lady became aware of the hoax that had been practised upon her, and she immediately returned to London, and the next day she and her hus band started for Italy. It is said that her gallant hus band is excessively indignant at the different proceed ings that have been taken against her, and that be has declared that he will protect her from the "persecution" to which she has been subjected to the whole extent of his fortune. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The Royal mail steam ship Caledonia, Captain Leitch, took her departure to day for Halifax and Boston, with the usual mails for North America. The steam-ship Niagara, Captain 11,:irL, with the inward mails, &c., from New York, of the 19th, and Halifax, of the 22d ult., may be expected to arrive on Monday (to day). IRELAND. DUBLIN, SEPT. 29.—The battle of life is daily I becoming more sanguinary. The landlords call it the Anti•llent Conspiracy ; but, in truth, it is a struggle in which the very existence of the small tenantry of Ireland is at stake. More blood has been she I, per jury is becoming quite a matte:. of course crime among the unhappy people, and violence of all kinds, is reported to for the gratification of revenge for in juries charged against landlords and agents. The in telligence from the country to-day is truly deplorable. Within fifty miles of the metropolis a bloody conflict took place yesterday morning, in which one man was shot dead and another badly wounded ; the particu lars are thus given in a journal favourable to the sights of property—indifferent about its duties. " We have just received an account," says the Kil kenny Moderator, "of a fatal and most fearful struggle between a landlord and tenant for the pos session of the crops, and which, we are sorry to state, has taken place in oar own county. It appears that the corn of a farmer named Cloony, residing at Butler's Grove, near Gowran, was distrained for rent by the landlord, Captain Watson, and was only pro tected hitherto from being forcibly removed by having a strong posse of armed bailiffs pl?_Ted in charge. However, yesterday morning, at about eight o'clock, Cloony collected a considerable body of men, who were armed and provided with cars in order to ,seize and remove the crop at any risk. The attack was, of course, resisted by those in charge, and who acted under the direction of Captain Watson's sons. A violent struggle took place, but Cloony's par 4 succeeded in loading the cars, and just as they were leading them out upon the road, one ef the men, named Butler, was shot dead by the Wat son's party, and another was so seriously wounded that Dr. Nowell, of Gowran, whose professional assistance was promptly obtained, is said to have pronounced his recovery to be hKeless. On the other hand, it is stated by report that three of the parties who were in charge of the crop, are danger ously wounded. The police arrived from Cowran soon after the fray, but too late to prevent the fatal consequences of the encounter; however, the cor respondent from whom we have the particulars, con cludes his communication, which was dated at noon yesterday, with the remark—' Notwithstanding the fearful circumstances which have resulted from the attack, the corn is still being removed, though one man lies dead in the gap, and another is dying in the neighbourhood.'" By the midday mail an account has been received of the wounded man. In the Carlow Sentinel of this morning there are reports of scrambles for crops on the estates of Colonel Bruen, M.P., Colonel Butler, M.P., and Mr. Hatchell, the Irish Solicitor-General. The particulars in each case are essentially similar. The landlords are repre sented as the kindest and best men in the world—the tenants, sharpers The tenants owed large arrears of rent, hal splencr I crops, would not pay, and to avoid threatened distraint, collected friends from distant parts and carried ell their property out of the reach of their indulgent landlords. Such is the gravamen of each report. Here is another case in this Carlow paper :—" On Sunday last a man named Rice, who held a farm of 70 acres of land, from Mr. Finlay, of Bagnalstown, at Ballykeenan, in this county, obtained the assistance of a large party of men and took away corn to the value of 2001., which was under seizure. They cut down the corn which was standing, and swept that also away. The tenant to whom Mr. Finlay we.s most indulgent owed him 1301., in addition to 801., on the 29th inst. Mr. Finlay, being desirous of coming to a settl vent, offered to take recurity for NO/. This the tenant promised, and the securities were to be completed on Monday—in the interim, however, he swept away the crops on the previous day. It is remarkable that Mr. Finlay's herd de clared that he knew the parties who cut down the standing crop which was not seized upon, but he professed entire ignorance of those who carried off the property under seizure—thus proving the sym pathy that exists for those who transgress the law. At the Shinrone petty sessions on Wednesday last 20 men were charged with carrying off 24 loads of corn, which was about to h seized by Mr. Clark, the landlord of the ground upon which it was raised. The prisoners were committed for trial at the ap iproaching assizes. The police, it is said, charged the carters "at the point of the bayonet, and a struggle ensued, which, however, vvr. not attended with seri ous consequences." In the meantime the landlords in some parts are making timely abatements in the rents of their tenants. They acknowledge the simple fact that a farmer cannot pay the same rent now that be did when corn was 50 per cent. dearer, potato ?.s plenty, and a low poor-rate. , ACCIDENT TO TEE CAMBRIA STEAMER. The Chester and Holyhead Railway Company's steam-boat Cambria broke her paddle shaft on her outward voyage from Kingstown to Holyhead yester day morning. The Dansibee, which let Kingstown at half-past twelve, came up to the Cambria, which bad left at half-past eight, took her passengers on board, and conveyed them to Holyhead. The Hiber nia was dispatched from the letter port; and on meet ing the Cambria, took her irk) tow and returned with, her to Holyhead. The Hibernia le.:: Holyhead again at three this morning, and arrived at Kingstown shortly before eight. The following communication on the subject has been received by the Secretary to the Chamber of Commerce : " Her Majesty's packet, Banshee, Kingstown, Sept. 27, 1849. " Sir,—As considerable anxiety will naturally be felt for the safety of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company's steamer the Cambria, which vessel left Kingstown yesterday, at nine A.M. (London time), I feel it my duty to rcquaint you, as secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce, that ar3 .50 P.M. yesterday, when on my passage to Holyhead, in her Majesty's packet under my command, I observed a steamer on our port-bow, with her colours flying, laying to, apparently disabled. I changed our course towards her, and soon found it to be the Cambria. " At 4.17 I stopped the Banshee, close to leeward of her, when two boats came alongside with several pas sengers (about 20 in number), whom we succeeded in getting safely on board, al'hough attended with consi derable risk, there being a heavy sea at times, Lieut. Keane also sending a request that I would cause imme diate assistance to ba sent to him, as their intermediate shaft was broken, and both engines quite disabled— Holyhead in sight, bearing S.E. by E. i E., dist. 18 miles. I proceeded at 4.45 P.M., and on my arrival at Holyhead at 6.25 Par., communicated to Commander Fraser, R.N., who superintends the packet establish °. it thoi e, the situation of the Cambria, and the request of Lieut. Kiane, her commander, handing him his let ter to me. I also sent for the commander of the Hiber nie, one of the steamers belonging to the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company (which vessel was then preparing for leaving Holyhead with the London pas sengers for Kingstown), and gave him all the informa tion I nossibly could on the subj, at. Commander Fraser sent 11.11.:S. V. Otter as Loon as she could be got ready (at 8.30 P.m.), and the Hibernia left at 11.30 P.si., both in search of the Cambric " I am glad to be able to report my having this morn ing F.ssed the Cambria in tow of the Hibernia, at nine o'clock, and have no doubt but she will be safe at Holy head about eleven o'clock this morning.

The Brilliant sailed at dis ylight on Saturday for Sheerness to be paid off. Tbe Volcano steam-vessel arrived at Spithead at seven o ?clock this morning from the Mediterranean. On com Leag up to Spithead she made signal to say that she ha d a slight defect in her engines, which could be made g food in three hours. She was ordered to come into hw labour, her defects were made good, and she steamed off at twelve o'clock for Sheerness to be paid off. TI to Volcano had been in collision with a merchant sax° aer, when about two miles from Plymouth, the Eli.va, of Newport; as that vessel was bearing up to speak ,t 4 ) her she struck the Volcano on the after part of het port paddle-box, car rying away her own bowsprit -and foremast; she was then towed into Plymouth by the Volcano. The Encounter bent sails yestel .day. _ . PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 28.-4lr. yen, the master of the brigantine Eliza, gives the follow .ng account of the col lision between that vessel and . her Majesty's steamer Volcano yesterday afternoon. T he Eliza, ut half-past twelve o'clock, was off Prawlo-poi nt, or between Prawle point and the Start point, the I: and being three miles distant. The weather was rather thick and wind north west. The ship was under doubla-reefed topsails, single.reefed mainsail, and rem ed spencer, her head pointing west by south, or west-t south-west, and rate of sailing about four knots. After the men had taken the second reef in the topsail and were coming down the rigging they observed a Government steamer to the westward with ensign and pen nant flying. In con sequence of seeing the e: asign, Captain Owen backed the schooner's topsai Is to the mast, put the helm down, and lay to for a bout ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, when the Ve lcano, with her paddles going, came up under the larlmat d brow of the brigan• tine, carried away her jib-boom. and bowsprit (the latter of which dropped on the steamer's deck), and in con sequence- broke both her .ni.,strt. The foremast went about five feet from the deck - , and dropped aft on the gallows of the winch, egainst; the mainmast; and tho mainmast parted more than to a feet ;'ram the deck, fall ing over the brigantine's lee quarter. Captain Owen has, of course, noted a protest, and intends, through his agent, Mr. Henry J. Waring;, to apply to the Port- Admiral to have the brigantine's damages made good by the dockyard authorities. The ship Lorena, Captain Conway, belonging to New York, having 203 emigrant p assengers on board, from Antwerp for New York, whoa in longitude 10 west, ex perienced a tremendous gale from - the eastward, which carried away niaintopgallantm ast and head of maintop mast and caused the ship to st rain exceedingly. Having returned off this port 1,15,; nig ht,' took a Plymouth pilot on board, and entered the Sound this morning in safety. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.—By the clipper ship Sword fish, arrived in the Mersey, we have received advices from Rio Janeiro to the Bth, Bahia to the 18th, and Pernambuco to the 25th of August. _ _ From Pernambuco we learn that the stock of sugar was v y much reduced, and. the balance of the old crop arriving at market was of ordinary and damp qualities. The weather was very favourable for the growing crop, which would commence to make its appearance in November. About 800 tons had been purified for shipment within the week ending August 27, at 20s. 3d. for whites, and 15s. 10d. per cwt. for browns ; in cases, 21s. 3d. to 235. for common assortments ; in bags, 193..1d. to 19s. 6d. for low, and 15s. ld. to 16s. sd. for muscovadoes—all free on board. The weather having latterly taken up, the receipts of cotton were on the increase ; but the demands being active at 4 15-16=1. to sid. per pound, free on board, it was purified almost immediately on arrival ; and, as , several vessels were waiting to load, and a speculating purchaser was operating freely, prices were not expected to go lower for the present. The stock was reduced to 1,000 bags. Freights were 255. to 30s. per ton for sugar, to _ - ballast ; and 7-16 d. to id. and 5 per cent. for cotton. The rate of exchange had advanced to 26d. The Thomas and Henry and Sobraon, from Sydney, sailed, for London on the 26th of August. In Bahia the stock of sugar was 5,000 cases, and of cotton 3,000 bags. Prices were 17s. 64d. per cwt. free on board, for muscovadoes; 21s. 2d. for white sugars. 4,500 to 4,800 reis per arroba for cotton. Freights were dull with a limited demand, the q uotations being 455. • to 603. for sugars to the Channel, and id. and 5 per cent. for cotton to Liverpool. Exchange was firm at 25d. At Rio exchaage was quoted at 254 d. The stock of coffee we; 30,000 bags, and superiors could be shipped free on board at 29i. 11d. to 30s. Bd. per cwt., firsts at 28s. 4d. to 295. id., and ordinary at 265. to 265. 9d. Freights were improvirj, several vessels having been taken up at 455. to 50s. per ton for the Channel, and as high as 60s. paid for a few small English ves sels. The Archimedes and Alice Brooks were load • ing for London, and the Cynthia, Sarah, Commodore, and John Murray for the Channel. SINGULAR GENEROSIT —A Mr. Brooks, fruiterer, residing in the Edgewar found on Thursday afternoon, he 27th ult., on his counter a pocket-book containing 5001., and hiving served a lady :with some trifling articles some short time before, who stated that she was going into the country, he immediately called a cab and went to the Great Western Railway and ex• amined all the carriages to endeavour to find her among the passengers who were about starting by the four o'clock train, but she was not among them; so he re turned and examined the book to ascertain if there was any mark by which he might trace her, and finding a grocer's bill whose residence was in the City, he took an omnibus and went there, but with no more success than he had at the railway. He returned home and gave up the search, it being seven P.m, intending to advertise it in the public papers the next day if she did not make inquiries for it. The next morning the lady came end asked the tradesman if he had found such a book, for she said if be had not she must have lost it in the streets or been robbed of it in an omnibus; Mr: Brooks was very glad the owner had made her appearance to receive it, so he calk - El in a n&ahbour to witness his giving it up, and to his surprise saw her take it up and walk off without expressing the ka:t gratitude for its restoration. Mr. qG right, the neighbor; said, " Surely, madam, you will pay Mr. Brooks his expenses in seeking you." She directly asked how much it bad cost; he said 2s. 3d., she laid down 35., and then waited for the 9d. change.— Sunday'Paper. - THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 29 .—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Sultan, Captain George Brooks, sailed this afternoon for Gibraltar, Malta, Smyrna, and Con stantinople. She had 29 passengers, and on freight 465 tons measurement goods, principally for the Turkish market, and jewellery, value 1,5001. The Erin, Captain T. S. Russell, is to sail for Constantinople on the 15th of October, there to relieve the company's steamer Tagus, Captain Joy, employed in running on .the Black Sea between Constantirople, Samsoun, Sinope, Trebizonde, &c. The Tagus is ordered hone for repairs, It is not expected that the Ripon, Captain R. Moresby,' with the East India, China, and Mediterranean mails, will reach Southampton till Monday night or Tuesday. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's ship Dce, Captain W. Allan, is appointed to take out the West India and Mex ican mails, and she will accordingly depart at the usual hour on Tuesday next, the 2d of October. The next West India and Pacific snails, due on the 7th proximo, will, in all probability be brought by the Medway, Cap tiin W. Symonds; she may be expected about ast sth or 6th. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Euxino, Capt. R. W. Evans, from Constantinople, Smyrna and Gibral tar, will be due here on the 7th of October; and the Iberia, Captain F. W. Burney, on the 4th, with the mails from' Gibraltar, Cadiz, Lisbon, Oporto, and Vigo. The United States mail steamer Washington, Captain G. W. Floyd, with dates from New York to the 20th of Semtember is looked fee off Cowes, en route to Bremen, about the 4th or sth of October. The packet brig Eclipse sailed yesterday for Madeira. Southamp ton, Sunday, Sept. 30.—The packet-brig Capt. Newton, arrived here this morning with dispatches and ship-letter bags of the 22d instant from Madeira, after a fine passage of seven days and a half from Funchal. She brings intelligence of the foundering at sea of the brig Jahe, of Sunderland, from Liverpool, with a general cargo, bound for California. The master, Captain Hub bert (who has come home in the Brilliant), in'orms us that on the Bth of September the vessel sprang a serious leak in consequence of pitching and rolling in the heavy cross seas for several days; the leak gained so fast that he decided upon abandoning her, and the crew accord ingly took to the boats, not being able to save any of their personal effects, shortly after which the vessel sank. On the: 9th of September they were fortunately picked up - by the American barque Roderick Dhu, from New York, bound to Madeira. The Brilliant has also brought hoine Roberts, of the brig Louisa, of Guernsey, bound to Havannah, who, in consequence of melded illness, was 141 at Madeira. The weather was remarkably fine in Madeira, and arrivals of invalids were taking place. The crop of grapes was expected to be a very short one throughout the island. A Russian 50• gun frigate was lying at anchor at Funchal, in attendance on his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke of Leuchtenberg, whose health was improving. There were no British ships of war there. her Majesty's brig Flying Fish sailed on the 21st of September for the coast of Africa, and her Ma jesty's 'brig Crane - sailed on the evening of the same day with the mails for Brazil and Rio de la Plata.

Owing probably to a prevalence of east erly winds the imports from Ireland into Liverpool are only to a moderate amount, consisting chiefly of flour and oatmeal per steamers; and coastwise the arrivals are very scanty. From abroad there are only reporteil about 3,000 quarters of Indian corn. Our market this morning was of a languid character, and wheat must be noted fully 2d per 701 b. cheaper than on this day se'nnight. In the value of the best descriptions of flour no change was observable; but good useful qualities were obtainable on rather lower terms, whilst for inferior kinds there continues to be a total absence of inquiry. Oats without ahcration, and choice cuts of Irish new oatmeal were in moderate demand at our quotations. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 29 . — Business has been dull this week, and the sales, amounting to ab:3ut 500 hogsheads, could only be effected at a reduction of 6d per cwt. The quantity of British plantation on offer is by no means large. We are without inquiry for rums, except fine qualities, which a re scarce.

CORK, SEPT. 28.—The trade during the week has, on the whole, been steady, while the arrivals of foreign grain, the wind Net log continued adverse for some days, Tuve' been scarcely worth notice. The supplies of home grown grain continue large, the receipts for the week amounting to—Wheat, 3,954 barrels, at 16s to 21s per barrel; barley, 5,399 barrels ,atBs to 12s per barrel; oats, 17,666 barrels, at 6s to 9s 44 per barrel. The value of wheat remains unchanged, and the article continues to meet a steady sale at late prices. In prepared and foreign wheat we have had but a moderate business doing, still we do no; - , quote any alteration in prices, which remain as at the date of our last. Respecting potatoes we regret to say our accounts are not very cheering. Disease has made decided progress in them, still the crop has been an abundant o ne , an d ear l y matured; and we should hope, therefore, that a much larger quantity will prove available for human food, than was the case last year. At this morning's market there was an in . cense supply of grain, every descrip tion of which underwent a slight decline in value.

RUMOURED DEATH OF Mn. THOMAS Box, THE CRICKETER.—We are happy in being enabled to con tradict a rumour, which last week reached us, in com mon with our contemporaries, that this celebrated Sussex player had fallen a victim to the prevailing epidemic. It appears that a ser'oas attack of illness, at Leeds, whither he had gone to play with the All England eleven, gave rise to the report. He was, however, so far recovered on Friday last as to be able to leave Leeds for Brighton. We trust the paragon of wicket keepers may yet be spared many seasons to do honour to his na tive county, and the " All England eleven." HOTEL ON THE RIGHT BURNT DOWN.—The German papers received on Saturday inform us, on the authority of a letter from Lucerne, hat, on the 21st ult. at noon, the Segesser Hotel, situate on the summit of the Righi Mountain, so well known to Swiss tourists, was burnt to the ground in the space of two hours. Some of the English residents at the hotel lost large sums of money by the disaster. The destruction of this hotel--the great refuge for those who ascended the Righi to behold the glorious spectacle of the rising sun —will be a serious in.. convenience to travellers in that part of Switzerland. [AnvnansEsinsiT. J—A Most Inveterate Skin Di sease Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—James Haz litt, millwright of Nenagh, county of Donegal, was alicted with a dreadful skin disease, being covered with sores from the ear to the elbow, and down the right side, which rendered him totally unable to work at his trade. His malady was of so ma lignant a nature that he became a loathsome object of pity. In this state he was presented with some of Holloway's Oint ment and Pills, and by persevering in the use of these wonder.. ful remedies for a few weeks he has been soundly cared, and is now able to resume his laborious occupation.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Profesior Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
