ALARMING FIRE AT WHITBREAD'S BREWERY.— Yesterday morning, shortly after one, a fire broke .out in the above brewery, which for some time Threatened the most serious consequences. It appears that the firm has long been in the habit of manufac turing their own gas for consumption on the pre- Mises, and the apparatus for the purpose is situate at the southern entrance, in Chiswell-street. At the }lour above-named one of the watchmen on duty oh s;i'ved a st rong g lare of light through th e w i n d ows o f t he building containing the gasometer, and before an alarm could be given, the whole of the place was in li aMes. The private engines of the establishment Were got out, and messengers dispatched to the vari °lll-3 brigade stations. Mr. Braidwood, with the Wat 11g-street eng i ne , an d th o se from Jeffreys-square and l 'arringdon - s t r eet, as well as the West of 'England, "re soon on the spot, and a supply of water being Obtained, the ravages of the fire were most fortunately confined to the building in which it originated. The 'suPposed cause of the accident is, that the gasometer Was overcharged, but how the ignition took place re mains a mystery. The cooperage is closely adjoin ing the gas-works, and had not the flames been con fined to the latter building, the whole premises would most probably have been destroyed. Although all danger was at an end before two o'clock, it was found inipossibla to extinguish the gas, and the reflection of the blaze might be occasionally seen from all parts of the City. RELA LORD DE GREY VERSUS LORD ELIOT. DUBLIN, SEPT. 20.—The Evening Mail, last night, comforts the Orange party with the intelligence that Lord De Grey is coming back to Ireland, to take the reins out of the unskilful hands of the Chief Secre tary, and to put an end to the " pranks" he has been playing in regard to the College election and other matters, the question of national education included! The Mail says :—" His Excellency has had more than one interview with Sir James Graham, the Home Secretary, and we look with anxiety for his return to this country, in the assurance that his pre sence and his influence will put an end to those pranks which have been" playing with such detriment to his government in his absence by his most mis chievous Secretary, who assumed the office of his locum tenens. This is a very gratifying picture of our "United Government," drawn by the Orange organ. MR. CALDBECK AND MR. EMERSON TENNENT. TO THE EDITOR OF TDB BELFAST COMMERCIAL CHRONICLE. Sir,—Although it was the anxious desire of Mr. Caldbeck and myself that the misunderstanding be tween the former and Mr. Emerson Tennent, and the subsequent correspondence which it gave rise to, should not he obtruded on the public, still as so many erroneous statements have gone abroad, I think it right, in justice to all parties, that the true one should now be laid before the public ; and shall feel much obliged by your inserting the enclosed in your first publication.—l have the honour to be your most obedient humble servant, THOMAS JOHNSON SMYTH. Lisburn, Sept. 17, 1842. At Mr. Caldbeck's request, I accompanied him to Belfast, on Saturday, the 3d of September, for the purpose of acting as his friend, in consequence of a misunderstanding which had taken place between Mr. Emerson Tennent and himself in the street of Bel fast, and which he informed me was cut short by Mr Tennent saying, "If you have anything further to state, let it by through a friend." I proceeded to Mr. Bates's office, and Mr. Tennent coming out of it, we shook hands ; I said, "You are the very person I wish to see—l come on the part of my friend, Mr. Cald beck." Mr. Tennent said, "Whatever Mr. Caldbecl: has to communicate, let it be in writing." I replied, " Your expressions and manner, a few hours since, were calculated to offend him." Mr. Tennent said, " Mr. Caldbeck's manner was the same ;" and added, " I could not intend to offend a person with whom I had shaken hands a moment before." Mr. Tennent said he was going out of town to-day, but that he would remain for half an hour. _ I went to the Donegal Arms to speak to Mr. Cald beck, when we decided there should not be any cor respondence. I found Mr. Tennent at Mr. Davison's office, and told him that I declined to enter into any correspondence, and that the expression " gross mis statement," and his manner, were what Mr. Caldbeck felt offended at ; and Mr. Caldbeck having told me that Mr. Tennent had said, when the misunderstand ing first took place, " Whatever further you have to state, do it through a friend," I waited upon him in that capacity. Mr. Tennent declared he had not made use of that expression, but that what he said was, " Put in writing whatever further you have to say." Upon hearing this, I said to him, " You are at issue, and I consider it right to speak to Mr. Cald beck," and requested Mr. Tennent to remain until I could do so, and confer with him on this point. Mr. Tennent said, " I will not wait any longer." Upon receiving this answer, I requested him to appoint a friend with whom I could communicate ; he replied, " I will do no such thing." I repeated my request, and said, "Am Ito understand that you refuse to appoint a friend?" he replied, " Most decidedly." Very shortly after this I received the letter marked No.l, in answer to which I sent letter marked No. 2, and received from Mr. Tennent the letter marked No. 3. THOS. JOHNSON SMYTH. Lisburn, 17th Sept., 1842. No. I. 11, Donegal-place, Saturday, Half-past Four o'Clock. Dear Sir,—ln our interview this moment you have expressed a reluctance to place before me any autho rised statement of the words of mine with which Mr. Caldbeck is dissatisfied ; so soon as it suits your con venience to comply with this essential request, I shall be prepared to affbrd you every explanation ; but I decline to incur the risk of possible misrepresentation by verbal messages .in such a matter.—Your's faith fully, J. EMERSON TENNENT. T. Johnson Smyth, Esq. No. 11. Donegal Arms, Five o'Clock, Sept. 3, 1842. Dear Sir,—You having declined appointing a friend (agreeably to my request) with whom I could communicate, on the misunderstanding between you and Mr. Caldbeck, I beg to decline any correspond ence on the sui , ject.—Your's faithfully, THOS. JOHNSON SMYTH. T. J. Emerson Tennent, Esq., M.P. No. 111. Quarter -past Five o'Clock, Saturday. Dear Sir,—l have declined to refer you to any friend of mine in the present stage of this matter, in asmuch as, till Mr. Caldbeck sees fit to state his ground of dissatisfaction, there is nothing to refer to his consideration. When I addressed Mr. Caldbeck to-day it was merely for the purpose of intimating that his speech of yesterday contained some gross misrepresentations with regard to myself, which I might probably think it worth while to correct ; but that I imputed to him no intentional misstatement, as the errors into which he had fallen were clearly at tributable to his obvious ignorance of everything connected with the Conservative party in Belfast, and more especially with th ose particulars which could only be known to those wh o are in the confidence of its influential and acting members. His violence of voice and gesture (so singularly inharmonious with his new functions of a peace-maker), prevented me from proceeding beyond the first part or this com munication, and forced me to turn away with no other emotion than that with which I habitually re gard such manifestations. I have the honour to be, yours, very faithfully, J. EME RS ON TENN ENT. T. Johnson Smyth, Esq. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 18.—Count Le lion, Belgian Ambassador at Paris, has arrived at Brussels. It is affirmed that a Commission will very shortly be appointed to examine some questions relative to the revival of the tariff of customs with regard to cotton manufacture. The Commission will consist in a great measure of manufacturers, and Count Bane de Potter will, it is said, be the President. The Count D'Ursel, eldest son of the Duke D'Ursel, is going to be married to the eldest daughter of the Marquis de Rumigny, Ambassador of the King of the French at the Court of Brussels. The Memorial de la Sambre says :—" We learn from good authority that the Company which has obtained permission to construct the iron railway of the Sambre and the Meuse has joined with one of the principal undertakers of such works in Belgium, who will execute the work and give his name to the Com pany. We also know that three foreign Companies have each offered to advance the whole of the funds required on the guarantee by the Belgian Govern ment of a minimum of interest." BRUSSELS, SEPT. 20.—We learn from Ardenne, by letters dated yesterday, that the King was preparing to leave his country seat to visit the camp at Bever loo, where the Minister of War now is. It is pro bable that the camp will break up after the general review by his Majesty. • M. Sylvan Van de Weyer has returned to Brus sels with his family from his visit to Cologne. We learn that he.will not return to London till next month. Several Spanish emigrants, both Carlists and Chris tinos, residing in France and England, have agreed to meet at Brussels, in order to confer with M. Olozaga, who has a special mission to our Cabinet and that of the Hague. We are assured that these emigrants in tend to concert with M. Olozaga the means of return ing as soon as possible to their own country, if the Government of the Regent is inclined to give them the assurance that they shall not be prosecuted or molested. The buying up of butter in several Belgian mar kets, to export it to England, has attracted the atten tion of the Government. Orders have been given to all the municipal authorities in the kingdom to take measures to check these proceedings. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Baussets, Sapr.24.

Baron Andlau, Equerry to his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick, has this morning received the following letter from the Mayor of Preston : "Preston, Sept. 21, 1842. "Dear Sir,- - My attention has been drawn to a statement in the Times newspaper (which appears to have been copied from the Lancaster Guardian), that an illustrious visitor at the Guild has been taken in custody and carried to the police-station by mistake, and that a most handsome apology had been made by me for the unintentional affront. "I regret exceedingly that any one should have taken so scandalous a liberty with his Highness's name. Probably he. will treat the matter with silent contempt. I hasten, however, to place in your hands my contradiction of the statement, which is entirely without foundation; no person having been so appre hended or charged.—l have the honour to be &c., " S. HORROCKS, Mayor." COURT .OF ALDERMEN. THE ENSUING MAYORALTY. At a Court of Aldermen held yesterday, Mr. Alder man T. Wool) called the attention of the Court to the situation he had been placed in with reference to private aspersions which had reached him in a cir• cuitous way, in order to meet any charge against him, and he was not aware of any specific charges ; all was rumour, and therefore, as he was not able to meet them specifically, because nothing made itself tangible, he proposed to put into the,hands of each of the:Aldermen a copy of Lord Denman'3 judgment, on an investi gation of the whole facts, with an extract from the affidavit explanatory of one part to which allusion had been made. He had thought of publishing the whole affidavits on both sides, but their length was so great (the Alderman holding up an immense pile of papers as the affidavits), that he thought and was advised that it would be quite hopeless to tax the Court with such a mass of papers ; however, he would deposit them in Court, and then, or in private, answer any question or meet any charge which could be made ; they must be aware that he 'had been aspersed in all directions, and he must say he had been most grossly persecuted. The Alderman then delivered the copy, judgment, and extract from the affidavit to each Alderman. Alderman BROWN thought that as the short-hand writer's notes were not printed, the affidavits, volumi nous as they were, should have been, and that the Court would have no time to inform themselves ; and suggested that as. the matter would take more time to investigate that ample time should be allowed. Alderman WILSON then alluded to reports in a weekly journal, which he said had never been contra dieted, and, in a book published which he had seen • and went into many observations as to the outstanding claims of the Company, and said the Court ought to be informed of them. That report stated that Alder man 'l'. Wood had produced coals as the produce of the Falcon mine, which coals had been conveyed from a mine of a very different quality. Now the Court of Aldermen must require explanations of such charges. A pamphlet, too, had appeared, containing more broad assertions than those contained in the Mining Journal, so that a man with an atom of spirit would at once have resented such accusations, if they were founded in error or malignity. It was stated that the only solvent man amongst the Directors had been ruined. Alderman T. WooD—lt is wrong to say there was but one solvent man among the Directors. Alderman WILSON declared that it was positively asserted that the person he alluded to having become a bankrupt, got rid of the 30,0001. liabilities, which thereafter devolved upon Alderman Thomas Wood. Now, if Alderman T. Wood had traded in coals, he certainly became liable to the bankrupt laws; but if he did not became liable, it was not an atom the more honourable in him to shelter himself under his profession. It was the duty of every person who sought such an office as that of Chief Magistrate to clear away any imputation against him. The paper put into his hand as the judgment of Lord Denman, conveyed in his (Alderman Wilson's) opinion, a heavy censure instead of exoneration. Alderman T. Wool) said, the whole of the charges from beginning to end had been most satisfactorily refuted by the affidavit put into Court, with the ex ception of one part, which he was prepared to account for to the full satisfaction of those who would under take an investigation. Alderman FAREDEOTIIER stated, that as soon as he saw the Mining Journal , he asked Alderman T. ood whether he did not intend to proceed against that paper by information, and declared that he (Alderman Farebrother) would do so if it were his case. Alderman T. WOOD said he certainly had prepared legal documents for the purpose of proceeding. He, however, upon consulting his friends as to the propriety and expediency of adopting such a course , wa.s strongly recommended by them not to take legal pro ceedings, but to meet any charges which might be brought against him, honourably before the Court. He felt hound to act upon such advice. Alderman BROWN said it was most desirable that, as a body, the Court should act in amity.—(Hear.) There was, however, a matter of more importance by which they must be guided. It was indispensably necessary that a gentleman who aspired to fill the high office of Lord Mayor should clear himself of every thing stated to his prejudice. He did not mean the trivial tittle-tattle which abounded against public men—he meant that when grave charges were made from the judgment-seat he could not think of compro mising his sense of duty by selecting the man who did not purge himself, under such circumstances, as the more proper of the two named to the Court as eligible candidates. He (Alderman Brown) would ask whe ther it would not be better for Alderman T. Wood to retire for the present year, in order to afford a proper opportunity of investigating the whole affair. Sir PETER LAURIE suggested the course of sub mitting the case for inquiry to a committee. Alderman WILSON declared that he had advised Alderman T. Wood to have the case referred to a committee in June, but the proposition was declined. He had done his duty as a member of the Court. He could not think of voting for a man as Chief Magis trate with such a judgment as that of Lord Denman over him. The office must be maintained in honour, and splendour, and hospitality. The allowance from the funds of the Corporation was not sufficient to support it with becoming dignity, and a Lord Mayor ought to have property to enable him to supply the deficiency. Now, Alderman T. Wood said, when he MS candidate for the office of City Solicitor, a few v ors ago, that all the property he had lie derived l' ro m his profession, and that he was not worth a thousand pounds in the world beyond the produce of his business. Alderman T. WOOD said he did not recollect any thing of the kind, and that, whatever might be the opinion entertained by Alderman Wilson as to the indispensible ingredient of wealth in the composition of a Lord Mayor, he (Alderman T. Wood) had been elected Alderman of his Ward after having been re peatedly applied to on the subject, and he believed he had given satisfaction as a Magistrate. He had re ceived the thanks of his fellow-citizens, too, for his conduct in the Shrievalty. As for all that had been said about bankruptcy, the suspicion of such an event existed but in the imagination of those who -alluded to it. lie must declare that a more persecuted man, or one who less deserved persecution, did not exist. He had been advised not to proceed against the paper which maligned him, the Editor of which was a bankrupt, and he was sure the advice was sound. Sir P. LAURIE then moved that the Court should go into Committee on Saturday or Monday on the subject. Alderman T. WOOD approved of the motion, and said he should submit all the papers to the Committee. He was determined to have inquiry, and had never refused to give all the information in his power, and never would refuse to answer any questions. The motion was then put and negatived, four hands having been held up for it, and five against it. The - matter remains for future discussion. THE PRESTON AND WERE RAlLWAY.—Yesterday week (Friday), being the Guild week, the scholars of the difftrent Sunday schools in Preston were treated by their teachers and other friends with a trip by railway to Fleetwood-on-Wyre, at which delightful place they enjoyed themselves most heartily in pa rading the different streets, &c. The number of scholars was 2,164, exclusive of teachers and others, to the number of 200, making in the whole train 2,364 persons, which were gallantly drawn by the Preston and Wyre No.l engine, in 27 open carriages. On the arrival of the train from Fleetwood at the break station (Poulton), at which place they halted about half an hour, the scene was truly imposing, each carriage being studd e d w ith numerous co l our s, bearing appropriat e mo t toes , an d th e w h o l e mu ltit u d e being engaged in singing hymns. Such a display was never before afforded to the inhabitants of Poul ton, who mustered largely, an d were hi g hl y grat ifi e d in witnessing such an interesting sight. Preston Chronicle. JEWISH TRIBUTE.—A magnificent piece of plate is about to be presented to Sir Moses Montefiore from a large body of subscribers of the Jewish persuasion, as a mark of esteem and gratitude for his services on be half of those among their race who were per ecuted on account of the " Father Thomas," aff4ir year or two ago. It is a massive, yet ele gant work of silver, standing upwards of two feet in height, and weighing about 1,300 ounc es . On its four sides are representatives exquisitely executed in chaste relievo of Sir Moses landing, of his presentation to the Sultan, of his announcing to the Jews their liberation, and of his thanksgiving in the synagogue; lower compartments being filled up on two sides with emblematical representations of the persecution suffered by the Jews, and of the noble part taken by England in their protection ; on the third, being admirably pictured, is the grand sub ' ject of Moses ingulfing the Egyptian host in the Red 1 Sea, and in the front there is the inscription. - THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1812. THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. Mr. IN.PChristie, the Revising Barrister, took his seat in the Court of CoMmon Pleas, Guildhall, at ten o'clock yesterday morning. The lists of the Liverymen were proceedetlvith. It appeared that throughout these lists the numbers of the houses in which the different claimants resided were not stated, and considerable inconvenience and discussion were thus created. One party was de scribed as residing in , BishopSgate•street, • rinothvr as residing in South Lambeth, 'so that whole streets, or even districts, had to be searched in order to learn a claimant's abode. This practice, it was stated, had been adopted on the recommendation of a former Revising Barrister. Mr. SlCHnisriE said that the practice appeared to him to be calculated to lead to great inconvenience. Indeed, it could hardly be said to fulfil the spirit of the Act. He hoped it would be discontinued infuture. The parties objected to were allowed - to appear on Saturday next to defend their claims. No other cases of interest arose during the day. WESTMIN STER. The parish of St. Clement Danes was proceeded with. RATE-BOOK ERASURES.--IMPORTANT DECISION. — Henry Gray Holmes who was reg i s t ere d i n respect of a house in New Inn -buildin gs , was objected to by Mr. Score, on the ground that his name was not pro perly entered in the rate-book. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Holmes, that he had been in possession since June, last year, and paid rates, &c. _ - Mr. Schervin , the collector o f th e poor ' s - ra t es , who was called by Mr. Score, p ro d uce d t h e rate -b oo k, in which it appeared that the name of Elizabeth Down had been originally entered ; a pencil mark had, however, been drawn through the name of Down, and the name of Holmes had been written above in pencil. The witness proved that the name of Holmes was in his handwriting, and that he had made the correction when he was collecting the rate—after the rate had been made, allowed, and published. Mr. SCORE addressed the Court at some length. lie, contended that after a rate had been made, al• lowed, and published, the collector had no authority to alter that rate and introduce a name, so as that that name should be considered as the one originally in the rate. cir el it iNr. ov the . evidence ci ß tie T s T f ti, question contrary ta as the vote, N it ' l o oo t w e a , nfy s a a r i r d that atthe,eacsoi : u i ra t tp h p o ce u oa t ureld g d o b i r n ee g : fore the Court, he apprehended that it was enough that they found the name of Holmes in the rate. Under the Reform Act, a party might claim to be rated, and the overseers, in that case, must put the name in the rate; and inasmuch as the name did ap pear in the rate-book, he denied the power of the Court to do otherwise than to assume that a claim to be rated was made in some way or other. The REVISING BARRISTER said that this case was not without considerable importance, as it affected a large class of cases. He had, however, a very clear and decided opinion upon the point. le very much doubted whether a rate being produced with a name on it, he Lad any authority to inquire how it came there. It appeared to be enough for him to find that the party was rated to the relief of the poor. If he should ever find that the name got there improperly, he did net see what jurisdiction he should have to re ject the rate which was produced as a valid rate. But,_ waiving that point, he clearly agreed with Mr. Trott that the onus rested with the other side to show the absence of a claim to be rated. The name should, therefore, be retained on the register. EXTENSIVE FORGERY. - LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY ' SEPT. 20. — The case of ex tensive forgery upon the Branch Bank of England in this town, to which we have already adverted, came on for hearing at the police-court to-day, before Mr Rushton, stipendiary Magistrate, and Mr. Houghton, one of the members of the Town-council. The indi vidual charged with the offence is a young man whc has scarcely attained his twentieth year, and is most respectably connected. • His name is John Devaines Barnsley. He was defended by Mr. Myers. The case for the Bank, and on the part of the prosecution, was conducted by Mr. Robinson, and excited the attention of a very crowded Court, which numbered among its occupiers several of our principal mer chants. The prisoner was charged with the commis sion of two forgeries. The first consisted of a check. dated the 10th of September, for 2441. 3s. 5d., which purported to have been signed by Messrs. Corrie and Co., cotton-brokers, of this town ; and the second con sisted also of a check, dated the 13th of September, for 8471. 6s. 10d., which purported to have been signed by the same parties. The first witness called was Mr. W. D. Haggai., the teller at the Branch Bank of England, situate in Hanover-street, in this town, who gave evidence as tc the cashing of the cheque. John Cooper, who was employed by the prisoner to get the cheque cashed, identified the cheq ue, which he said he knew by a mark it contained on the signa ture, and said it had been cashed-by former witness. was next called, and said, th e c heque Mr. flogger, the Mr. John M. Corrie, one of the London partners, was not in his handwriting, neithr did it bear his signature, hut it had a very strong e r esemblance to the of the firm in the beginning for the 2441. signature of a Mr. Bernard, who had been a member Mr. Frederick Bernard stated, that his partnership with the firm had been dissolved upon the 30th of last April, and that the signature to the cheque resembled, but was not his own signature. year and three quarters. The bod of, as Mr. John Gray deposed, that he was a cotton-bro ker, and that the prisoner had been in his office for a of the present year. signature to the check for the 2441. was in the pri soner's handwriting . 0_ Witness searched the prisoner's drawer on Wednesday morning last, and found a num bername of " Corrie and Co." well as the of papers in his portfelio, on s ome of which the seve ral times ; so also were a number of figures, and among the rest, the figures " 244/. 3s. id.," the exact amount of the check, as though he had been repeat edly endeavouring to imitate the handwriting of Mr. Bernard. Witness had been in the habit of keeping was written by him his cheque-book in a drawer in his office, which is sometimes locked and sometimes open, and two cheques had been missing therefrom, the numbers of which correspond exactly with those on the 2441. and the 847/. ones already produced. Mr. William Baird deposed, that he was a superin tentlent of police in Montgomeryshire, and that he ap prehended the prisoner on the night of Sunday, the 18th inst., at Aberystwith. Upon searching him he found 1001. in 101. and 5/. Bank of England notes, 91. 10s. in gold, and 4s. 11d. in silver and copper. He also found some memorandums upon him, which con tained entries of receipts of money from various par ties, and also some blank cheques were discovered in his pocketbook. The case, as regarded the cheque for the 2441. hav ing here closed, some evidence was given with respect to the forgery of the larger check, and the forgery proved. Mr. Myers admitted that the case appeared ex tremely strong against the unfortunate prisoner, and that he had felt it useless to cross-examine the wit nesses ;butheea to rnes tbail, lyhoped th at t h e B enc h would admit the prisoner the more particularly as he was very respectably connected. ci in the dock. Mr. RUsHTON said, he was aware of h i s respecta bility,respectability was for ever gone when a man but t He might be willing to admit him t o b a il, if the case stood under a such circumstan ces presented any features to entitle him to commisera tion ; but when the contrary was the fact, and when it was a direct forgery, and an attem pt to entrap lads of a tender age into crimes of a serious character, no bail could be taken. The prisoner was accordingly. Committed for trial at the next assizes. • -------- ATA E - 1 - 1 -------- u r A yr INDISPOSITION OF TD B -S v.

CORONER'S Ye s terday . morning INQUEST.. day _ at ten an inquiry, which lasted nearly three hours, was proceeded with before Thomas Wakley, E sq., ALE, the Coroner, and a Jury, assembled in the Board room of University College tiosvital, 1 re.atiye to the death of Ellen Rumen, aged sixty years, who was alleged to have been killed by her husband, in a quarrel i which occu rre d b e t we en them, while they were both in a state of intoxication, on Sunday afternoon last, at their lodgings' No. 7 Bainbricl g e•street, St. Gil es ' s.

OF EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY. LONDON, SEPT. 23, 1842. The following average prices, exclusive of duty, of Brown or Muscovado British Sugars, will be pub lished in the Gazette of this evening : s. d. West India 36 81 per cwt. East India 39 4f Mauritius 35 8 1 The total average price of the three descriptions is 375. 3d. per cwt. The actual weights of Sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week ending the 20th inst., accord ing to the returns made upon oath by the Sugar bro kers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which weights the above prices are computed, con sisted of 23,038 cwt. West India, of 6,010 cwt. East India, and 5,651 cwt. Mauritius. Foreign Brown or Muscovado Sugars may be bought at from 13s. to 17s. per cwt. ; the quality which as similates to the average quality of West India Sugar is worth 16s. 6d. per cwt. We have endeavoured to teach the West Indians how—by underselling them—they might drive out of the British markets all slave labour sugar ; it can, however, hardly be expected, that they will avail themselves of instruction tendered for their welfare, unless they are compelled to bestir themselves by the Government admitting foreign sugars to a free and fair competition with theirs for home consumption. There is, it must be confessed, a degree of consistency, though it be of a pernicious tendency, in the sayinga and doings of these monopolists. 'They predicted all manner of evils from the manumission of the blacks, and, ever since that event, they have strenuously ex• erted themselves to verify their ill-boding predictions. In a word they have so egregiously mismanaged their affairs, that the countries attributing their diffi culties to emancipation, have maintained the system of slavery, and even hesitate now to follow the humane example set them by Great Britain. For in flicting this mischief, the consumers of sugar in the United States, are compelled by law, to reward them, by paying them an additional 20s. per cwt. for that article—this is turning the other cheek to be slapped with a vengeance. DOCTRINE OF « DISAFFECTION." We have observed in several instances that the Magistrates, before whom the rioters have been lately brought, have seized the opportunity for cen suring severely those who stir up the people to disaf fection against the laws. The Anti-Corn-law League having been directly pointed at by some of those magisterial censors, we have a word to say upon the subject, by way of clearing the mystification intended by the use of the terms " disaffection to the laws." We would ask Mr. Foster, the respectable chair main of the Salford Court of Sessions, and his brother Magistrates—do they mean to impugn the conduct of those who promote disaffection towards bad laws ? We remember to have seen a female put to death at Newgate. She was a mother, and her infant child was torn from her breast as she mounted the scaffold. Was Sir Samuel Romilly deserving of censure, for exciting disaffection in the public mind against the de moniacal law under • which that poor woman, and a mother too, was judicially murdered, for stealing pro perty above the value of five shillings from a linen draper's counter ? It is not ten years since our fellow- Christians were legally bought and sold hat British citizens. Were Clarkson and Wilberforce censurable because they agitated the public mind to create disaf fection towards the law which sanctioned the system of slavery in our colonies? On the contrary, are not ' the above names held in the highest reverence for having succeeded in creating such an abhorrence of those bad laws as led to their abolition ? Following in the path of Romilly and Clarkson, the members of the Anti Corn-law League are exerting themselves by every legal means to spread the disaffection they feel towards a law which, they believe, limits the supply of a nation's food, dooms multitudes to a premature grave, and demoralises great bodies of the industrious popu lation. Entertaining this belief, not only are they justified, not only are they not censurable, for the course they pursue, but they would be guilty of a dereliction of their duty as men, as citizens of a free country, and as Christians, if they did not use every legitimate effort to create disaffection in the public mind towards the Corn-law, as the only practicable and peaceful mode of effecting its repeal. We may be told by 11/r. Foster and his colleagues, that they do not concur with us in our view of this law. Be it so. In that case they are not expected to join us in exciting public opinion against it. All that is due from them as com ponent parts of the electoral body is, to investigate the nature and operation of the law for the support' of which they are responsible to their country and their Maker. Ignorance they cannot plead; our agitation of the question has deprived of that plea every ra tional possessor of the electoral franchise. In tunes like . the present it is especially important that Magistrates should strictly confine themselves to their proper functions of administering the laws, and not exceed their legitimate duties by interfering with the rights of citizenship. Despite the opinion of Mr. Foster and his brother Magistrates, we regard it as not only the right, but the sacred duty, of all who en tertain similar opinions, to use every constitutional means for disseminating disaffection towards the Corn law, as the surest means of procuring its total repeal. —Anti-Bread Tax Circular. Sir John Pirie's successor as Lord Mayor for the year ensuing will be Mr. Alderman Thomas Wood, if chosen• by seniority. The election takes place on Michaelmas day, next Thursday. STAGE-COACII AND OMNIBUS DUTY.—It was men tioned a few days back, that under the sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 79, the duty on stage-coaches was re duced. The Act will, however, not come into ope ration respecting stage-coaches until the 3d of Oc tober, when the duty from its present rate of 3d. a mile will be reduced to one-half. In future, for every original license for any stage-carriage a sum of three guineas must be paid, and fora supplementary license ss. By the same Act the length of seats for passengers is 'determined, and power given to measure the same. These salutary regulations, especially in omnibuses, are set forth in the 13th :Ind 16th sections, Under the for mer section it is stated, " That no stage-carriage shall be allowed to carry at one time a greater number of passengers in the whole, or in the inside, or on the outside thereof, tban the same is constructed to carry according to the regulations of this Act, and that no such carriage shall be deemed to be con structed to carry a greater number of passengers than the same will contain at one time upon fit and proper seats provided therein or thereupon for that purpose, allowing for each passenger, on an average, upon each and every separate seat, a space convenient for sitting thereon of 16 inches, measuring in a straight line lengthwise on the front of each seat; provided always, that no child under five years of age, sitting on the lap, shall be deemed a passenger within the meaning of this act." By the 16th section it is enacted, "That it shall be lawful for any constable or peace-officer, at any time, and also for any person travelling, or hav ing immediately before travelled by any stage carriage, in any case where he shall have reason for believing or suspecting that a greater number of passengers are carried, or are about to be carried, or have immedi ately before or at any time during the journey last performed been carried, by such carriage, to measure the seats, or any of the seats, in or upon such car riage, in order to ascertain the length thereof respectively, or the number of passengers which the said carriage is constructed to carry; and if any per son shall refuse to permit the scats in or upon such stage carriage to be measured, or shall by any means, or in any way prevent, or attempt to preve n t, any constable peace-officer, or other such person a s afore said, or hinder or obstruct him in measuring the same, the person so offending shall forfeit for every such offence the sum of 51." ACCIDENT TO DANIEL CALAGIIA2C, ESQ.—On Wednesday afternoon, about three o'clock as Daniel Callaghan, Esq , M.P. for Cork, was taking his cus tomary promenade in the enclosure, St. James's Park ; whilst walking musingly on the extreme verge of the lake, his attention being for a moment withdrawn, he stepped, or rather slipped, into the water, where it was some four feet deep. The Hon. Gentleman, on being so very unexpectedly engulphed in the limpid element, struggled hard for some minutes—though not altogether free from danger as the bank shelves into deeper water—and he certainly exhibited, what Sir John Falstaff calls " a wonderful alacrity in sinking." He was, however, most fortunately extri cated by the kind and prompt assistance of two young ladies who were happily near the spot at the moment, one of whom threw him the end of her long scarf, by which he was much assisted in getting out. A cab was soon procured by one of the gatekeepers, in which Mr. Callaghan proceeded to his residence in Pimlico, with, it is hoped, no further damage than wet clothes. Some days ago, two young Turks, accompanied by an interpreter, arrived in Paris, and took up their abode at the Hotel du Globe, in the rue Neuve-des- Petits-Champs, giving their names as Hartinoour and Barrhour. 'They appeared to be rich, and spent money liberally, but still there were certain inexpli cable peculiarities in their mode of life. They never went out till the evening set in, nor did they present themselves at the Ottoman embassy. The mystery, however, was soon cleared up. Two days ago officers of police came, and took both the Turkish yo uths into custody. This was in consequence of a despatch from the French Ambassador at Constantinople, sent up by telegraph from Marseilles, announcing that the sons of two opulent merchants at Constantinople had decamped with large sums of money, taken from the strong boxes of their respective fathers. In the pos session of these fine youths were found 50,000 f. in gold, and about 400,000 f. in negotiable bills upon Messrs. Laffitte and Co., and other Paris bankeri. All this they voluntarily gave up, and then demanded to be taken to the Ottoman Ambassador, who claimed them under the law of nations, and who will, no doubt, take care to have them sent back to their parents. WORCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. WORCESTER, TOESDAY.—The hundred and nine teenth festival meeting of.the three choirs of Worces ter, Hereffird, and Gloucester commenced here this morning. Managing aid, Committe e on thi s occas i on rejected all forei gn rrhas may be seen by the follow ing list of principal vocal performers :—Miss Birch, Mrs. W. Loder (late Miss Woodyatt), Miss Marshall, Miss Davis, and Miss Dolby, Mr. Francis, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Pearsall, Mr. Leffler, and Mr. Phillips. Leaders—M.. F. Cramer and Mr. Loder. Conductor—Mr. Surman. Mr. Arnott was appointed to preside at the organ, and Mr. Hunt at the pianoforte. Of the band it will be sufficient to observe that they were selected from the Ancient and Philharmonic Concerts, and the choral department from the Exeter Hall Sacred Har monic Society and the choral societies of 'Worcester, Birmingham, and Liverpool ; the band and chorus united numbering no less than 300 performers. The I Lord Bishop of Worcester acted both as president and one of the stewards. The remainder of the stewards were—Lcrd Lyttelton (the Lord-Lieutenant of the county), Earl Somers, Lord Ward, Hon. and Rev. J. Fortescue, F. W. Knight, Esq., M.P., E. J. Shirley, Esq., M.P., J. A. Taylor, Esq., M.P., Sir Thomas Wilde, M.P., Rev. G. R. Gray, Rev. J. Com meline, Rev. W. H. Cartwright, J. Brown, Esq., W. Dent, Esq., W. W. Essington, Esq., James Foster, Esq., and W. Hemming, Esq. The arrangements made for the reception of the public in the magnificent nave of the Cathedral (in which part the performances have not been held since the visit of George 111. in 1788), were most judicious and complete. The principal seats were laid along the floor of the nave, and the two aisles were fitted up with galleries of rising seats ; while, reaching- from the floor half way up the beautiful western window, was an immense gallery, covering an area of nearly 3,000 square feet, and capable of aflbrding ample ac commodation to 1,000 persons. From the top of this gallery the coup d'sreil was Magnificent. Among the other excellent arrangements made by the stewards, was a determination to reduce the prices of admission, which now, on the principal de's, were fixed at ss. and 7s. 6d., and 155., thus rendering the performances as generally accessible as possible, and giving to the operative classes an opportunity of sharing with their richer neighbours one of the highest intellec tual enjoyments of which human nature is susceptible. The rehearsal took place on Mon day, and continued nearly throughout the day. The ddors of the Cathedral were opened on Tuesday at ten o'clock, and shortly there could not have been less than 1,300 present, exclusive of the performers. Among the company we observed Earl Beauchamp, the Hon. George Lygon, Sir A. Lechmere, Bart., Sir Thomas Wilde, M.P., J. S. Pakington, Esq., M.P. The Bishops of Worcester and Rochester attended in their robes. The note of preparation was first given from the _new organ erected for this occasion, and from the top to the bottom of the immense orchestra was one scene of action among the instrumentalists. This noble instrument, we are assured, will rank among the most complete organs in the kingdom ; and so far as an opinion can be formed in its present unfinished state, fully bears out the already extended fame of the builder (Hill, of London), both for ex quisite workmanship in the mechanical parts of his instrument, and delicate voicing of the pipes. Mr. Surman and the respective leaders having assumed their positions the service commenced, in the course of which was given the following selection : Overture—" Esther" Grand Dettingen Te Deum Jubilate Quartett—" Sing unto God" .. Dr. Croft. Chorus—" Cry aloud". Coronation Anthem—" Zadok the Priest" Handel. The Venite and Psalms were chanted by the whole vocal force to one of Havergal's most popular (No. 4 of the Antiphonal) chants. The Dettingen Te Deum followed. It has been alleged that Handel has given it too much the character of a trumpeting military triumph, suit able certainly for the victory of Dettingen, but some what inappropriate to the san c tity o f God's house. We, however, believe it not only to have been one of the noblest conceptions of the author, but the finest composition among the many which have been pro duted for this particular laudation. The opening was magnificent; and in the chorus "To thee, cherubim," the expression "continually do cry," was given with an overpowering effect. In " Heaven and earth are full," the idea was most beautifully embodied in the continual role of drums and the intensity of sounds, which having died away, "The glorious company of Apostles" was delightfully sung by the principal per formers, among whom the fine and manly English voice oPhillips was heard to advantage, in all the boldness, freedom, and precision by which his style is characterised. Mr. Leffler sang the solo " Thou art the King of Glory." Mr. Harper's accompanying obligato on the trumpet was good. Mr. Hobbs sang" When thou tookest upon thee" with his wonted mellowness and flexibility. The whole of the concluding part of the Te Deum was well given, especially Mr. Phillip's " Vouchsafe, 0 Lord," and Mr. Francis's final solo, " 0 Lord, in thee have I trusted." After the performance of Dr. Croft's anthem, "Sing unto God," followed by the chorus, "Cry aloud and shout," one of the finest pieces of choral composition, the Lord Bishop of the diocese preached a - sermon from Galatians, 6th chap., 10th verse, in behalf of the institution whose cause he advocated. During the sermon, he touched upon the state of the majority of the clergy who, his Lordship observed, had no chance of storing up provisions for their families; it was theirs to do the work of charity, of almsgiving, and of local incidentals, in which the clergyman, whether rich or poor, was invariably expected to take the lead. In the Archdeaconry of Worcester, there were 80 benefices, whose annual incomes were not equal to 200/. per annum, and of these 32 were under 100/. ; he would ask, therefore, if it was not obvious that ! these salaries were but barely sufficient to procure I common necessaries for a large family, and quite in competent to produce a provision for their widows and orphans. The sermon ended, Handel's celebrated coronation anthem, " Zadok the Priest," followed by that elaborate and splendid chorus, " And all the people shouted," were given in a faultless manner, and the congregation then began to disperse. The plates were held by Mrs. Pepys, Lady Sarah Murray, Lady Margaret Cocke Mrs. Fortescue, and Lady Lechmere, supported by Earl Beauchamp, Sir ! A. Lechmere, J. S. Pakington, Esq., M.P., and W. W. Essington, Esq. The sum collected amounted to upwards of 3101., being nearly 801. more than the receipts on the first day of the last 'Worcester Festival. This sum includes -50/. from Joseph Bailey, Esq., M.P.; and as we understand, 25/. from the City Cor poration. This result is most favourable to the prospects of the festival. The concert this evening. (Tuesday) consists of Alexander's Feast, to be per formed with Mozart's additional accompaniments. To-morrow (Wednesday), we have the Messiah. MARQUIS OF BREADALBANE'S MUNIFICENCE.—The princely entertainments of the Marquis of Breadal bane, will, it is said, cost 60,0001. The Marquis has a rent roll of 45,000/.per annum, besides considerable accumulations of money, and he has no family. This loyal tribute, therefore, while it will help to benefit tradesmen, and confer happiness on countless numbers of his countrymen, besides being honourable to " old Scotland," will entail no embarrassment on the gene rous donor. SINGULAR DISCOVERY.—AbOUt two miles from Dundee, on the Camperdown estate, at a place canoe King's Cross, there stands a large old stone with a hold in the centre, which, according to tradition, is the stone in which Alpin, King of Scots, - fixed his standard in the well-known battle between the Picts and Scots, which is described in the ancient chronicles as having taken place in 834. Tradition states, that the King of the Scots seeing the battle going against him placed his standard in the stone above mentioned, and defended it long with great courage. He was at last slain, and, according to history, his head was cut off, and fur some time exhibited on a pole. To this day, three or four fields to the westward of the stone are known by the name of "Pitalpin," and are thus designated in the ancient titles. Some historians mention that King Alpin's body was buried at Icolmkill ; but all are not agreed on this point. Last week, in cut ting through the mound on which King Alpin's stone stands, for the purpose of improving the road, there was found in the centre of the mound, a skeleton of very large dimensions. What is remarkable, and renders it not improbable, that the skeleton may be that of King Alpin is, that the head was at the distance of several feet from the rest of the bones, and must evi dently have been dissevered from the body before it was buried. Alpin was the last King of the un divided Sept of the Scots, and from him her present Majesty is lineally descended. It is a remarkable fact, and one which makes a deep impression on the country people, that the bones' happened to be discovered on the day her Majesty crossed the Tay and entered ih Q ancient territory of her more remote ancestors.

On the 28th Selim Bey returned from Syria. He left Beyrout on the 15th, at which time there were nine European ships of war off the port. The denouement of the Syrian affair seems yet to be distant, but it has transpired that Selim Pacha strongly recommends that the Turkish Governor of the Mountain should be continued in office, as he is of opinion that the appoin a tm snorfdo en ott t hhoe o efn f m a Maronite would. be the signal of wholesale massacres, and that not a. Christian would, in a few months, be found on Mount Lebanon. This, indeed, is but the opinion o f an individual, but it is entitled to weight from such a quarter, Selim Bey being a man of acute observa tion. In the event of a rising of the Druses, it is. believed that the French, who have a transport at. Beyrout, laden with arms and ammunition, would arm the Maronites, who are called the French a the Levant, and we must, in such case, assist, in order to create a power, which, if once set up, must undoubtedly be perpetuated solely under c - , it llhedui and nrar,gskt hsa i he t nais tbdthpiooseouearddrtttsioticcfnimkorus found thirty d t o i n French ii, influence.

The Pacha of Boyezid was actively preparing for war, and had under his orders 6,000 regular troops, infantry and cavalry. The Kurd s of Boyezid, Moush, and Van, were in arms ; 5,000 Lazes wore expected from Trebizonde, And a corps of artillery, with ten or twelve guns, had reached Baibout from Constantinople. Moustapha.

The nomination' of Rifaat Pacha and Hassib Pacha, as tax comptrol- I lers, on a mission to Roumelia and Anatolia, has been annulled, the office being deemed an expense at once useless and injurious. The measure originated solely with the ex-Vizier, and was by him carried out with out taking the advice of the other Ministers. The. Porte continues firm in its negotiations with Greece,, and it has become evident that if there is to be any" commercial treaty with that country, the Greek Go vernment must give up many of its pretensions. The entrance of Russian vessels of war into the Danube continues to excite a sore feeling in the minds of some of the leading Turks, who declare that, by the treaty of Adrianople, in which Russia stipulated for-the free navigation of the Danube, it was never contemplated by the Porte that any other than mercantile vessels under the Russian flag were to enjoy this privilege_ It is too late now, however, to repair the error." CAPTAIN ROSS AND THE ANT.. ARCTIC EXPEDITION. (From the Guernsey Star of Sept. 15.) The Alarm, Captain T. L. Stewart, left Guernsey last year for the lalkland Islands, and departed from thence at the end of May last for Buenos Ayres. A gentleman of this island (Guernsey) having received. a letter by her, giving some account of Captain Ross. and the vessels - under him, engaged on a scientific voyage of discovery towards the Antartic Pole, has favoured us with the following extract " Captain Ross and the Antarctic expedition are now here. The Erebus and Terror came in contact,. on endeavouring to escape an iceberg, in the seas of the Anthem Pole. The expedition will positively be , here for five or six months to repair the vessels, and to make observations. " Captain Ross has erected an observatory at the old French fort built by Bougainville. A most in teresting series of observations arc carrying on, which will greatly interest the scientific world. Those upon the pendulum are noted every quarter of an hour. Astro nomical observations are also carefully made by the officers. Thermometers are placed both above the ground and under it; mine, with my barometers, are now doing duty with the rest, and have the honour to be registered also. The anemometers, showing the: direction and force of the winds, will add much to the valuable information afforded by Captain Sullivan, R.N., respecting these islands. Pluviameters are also carefully registered, and we are now about , the end of your Guernsey November. A tide-gunge is by the jetty, and an excellent magnetic observatory„ where the dip, intensity, and variation of the needle are carefully registered by able observers. The officers relieve each other in regular watches on these duties ; and-I never met with such devotees of science. You would be delighted to see Capt. Ross's little hammock swinging close to his darling pendulum, and a large hole in.the thin-partition, .that he may see it at any moment, and Captain Crozier's hammock is close alongside of it. The floor of this room is mother.• earth, from our want of timber. " Captain Ross has been so kind, at my request, as to add to these observations another series, to ascer tain the rate of evaporation in these islands ; and looker, the botanist, is also so good as to draw up a report on the grasses, the prevailing graminte being considered as unknown in Europe. The splendid tus sack grass is the gold and glory of these islands. It will, I hope, yet make the fortune of Orkney and/ Irish landowners of peat bogs. Every animal here feeds upon it with avidity, and fattens in a short time. It may be planted and cut like the guinea grass of the West Indies. The blades are about six feet long,, and from 200 to 300 shoots spring from one plant.. I have proved by several experiments that one man can cut 100 bundles in a day, and that a horse will greedily devour five of these in the same time. In deed, so fond of it are both horses and cows, that they will eat the dry tussack thatch from the roofs of the houses in preference to good grass. About four inches of the root eats like, the mountain cabbage. It loves a rank wet peat bog, with the sea spray over it. Indeed, when the sea beats with the greatest violence, and the sea spray is carried furthest, then the tussack gram thrives the best on the soil it loves. All the smaller islands here, though some of them are as large: as Guernsey, are covered with tussack, which is nu.- tritious all the year. " The whole of the gentlemen on the expedition are delighted with the Falkland Islands, and express themselves as being more pleased with them than even with New Zealand. Some think them in every way better for colonization, even with the drawback of wanting timber trees there. " Wlien the observations made during their voyage are published, you will be surprised at their favourable account of the climate. " In addition to all these scientific observations, the surveying department is exploring and examining. different harbours, sites for different objects in a nevr settlement, &c. " The botanist and I started from Port William, where I had been eight days, at seven o'clock in this winter morning, and on foot : arrived at Governmen House by four o'clock in the afternoon, examining the country we travelled over, w h er e there is a good deal of mossy bog. No one had done this before in one day during the winter, yet the distance as the crow flies is not far. "I have tamed a guanacoe from Patagonia. Ile lies down before the fire, with his head on my k nee , like a dog, though he is now as tall as a donkey. I hope to get more in the Falkland Islands. They browse on the poorest land, and their flesh i s lik e venison. Their wool is thick, but I fear not so valu able as that of the a lpaca. The monkey from th e Cape de Verds has hitherto kept his health, and is quite lively. I hope soon to give a favourable account of my adding to ou r domestic bree d of animals the valuable fur seal. h l e a r d s s o of cl e a wild cattle.

The onions, I fear, were packed in the sea sand, fruit trees, &c. The fruit lost them, and the plants, and trees should have been packed in mo ss , pressed down in it." SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday evening an in quest was held at the Crown public-house, Mile-end-- road, upon the body of a girl, named Martha Doyle,, aged 11 years. It appeared by the evidence that the deceased had been left at home by her mother, who wa3 an artificial flower maker, during her absence with some goods, which the poor woman was endea vouring to sell in the streets; and a younger sister having accidentally set fire to her clothes whilst play ing with some lucifer matches, the deceased, in her endeavours to extinguish the flames, set fire to her gown. The poor child, after freeing her sister from. danger, in her alarm, rushed into the passage, where the current of air caused the whole of her dress to become one body of flame before it could be extin guished by the neighbours. She was removed as sw a y as possible to the London Hospital, where she lingered for four days, when death put a period to her sufferings. Verdict—Accidental death.
