THIS EVENING, and every evening dtiriWke week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAIsT SPECTACLE otAit.gic and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSOX, the 'Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with over-changing variety .of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases. of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any ono thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pected denouements ,• a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and au ex travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and fashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to o ..erflow; and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for eon- Onions repetition. He believes that no professor of his art las at any time or in any place been honoured with an mount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculipr art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the (lay ; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those lzho honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not bo neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purpoees, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in au illegitimate manner, the designing have sitecceded in making dupes of the ered ulous. Tho 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitioas nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's exposé of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previoas attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited r.nd elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. He regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, er tracted from the Morning Acivcraser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri t.tal Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume ;—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the solution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits vs" o thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, bas recently left England, and the following account of who, and what ho is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: This young man, who is a Seotehman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2,000 dollarS per annum if he would perform at his museum in New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or- Phan, and in very bad health : but he would havo been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. He inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to fie(' such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established join eel, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents? and, with Barnum's endorse. ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated I . Professor Anderson would believe not ; but, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it t be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends, In the Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which be saw at Cox's Hotel, iu company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that spirit-rapping is nothing snore than conjuring applied to bad purposes, In the Morning Adveitiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their séance with the spirits. iu which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by, an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played au air through. out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day aro permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirL-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work. and that a " spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be held in &. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by tho people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide au antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. In the course of tho last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre —a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled wit'sin its walls iu so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even -sng, the programme being continua:ly changed. Grand fashionable Day Performance, on Saturday, October 27, at 2 o clock ; the programme being thus arranged ; Part I.—Act 1. The Mesmeric Couch : or, the Clinical Capabilities of the Atmosphere : in which the Wizard will do by magic that which some suppose to be effected by mesmer ism, and illustrate the possibility of slee . sing unsupported in the air. Act 2. The Aqua-Avial Paradox ; exemplifying the power of producing animated nature from fire and water only, and the possibility of eliciting from the simplest elements the most complex forms of ornithological existence. Act 3. Le Livre dee Reeueils Choisies: or, Puck's Own Pocket Book, with Puck himself within it. Typifying the evening's ente - Aainirent in the production of the very volu minous from a small voluMe, in the extraction of magnitude out of minuteness, in developing bulk where no space appears for its existence, in di5..,0.-ering odd things in odd places, and in bringing forth unexpected wonders from the most unlikely place for to be found. • Act 4. Magical Locomotion ; or, Transition without Trou ble. In which will be comprised—the Adventures of a Wed ding Ring, the Peregrinations of a Bank Note, the Transfor mation—black into white, and the Discovery of every Article in the position which would seem the mos. inappropriate. Act 5. L'Eciin de Verro ; or, the Casket of Crcesus. Into which, though made entirely of glals perfectly transparent, and suspended so as to be visible to the eyes of all present, the Wizard will cause the money of his visitors to transport itself, and rain into the calket, though its lid be closed, locked, and the key in the possession of the audience. Act 6. Clairvoyance Exixitordinary ; or, the Transparency of Opacity. Act. 7. A New Bottle of Bacchus ; or, the Novel Wine and Spirit Store. Au improvement upon the " inexhaustible bottle," inasmuch as the Wizard's bottle will not only be in exhaustible, but will change its contents, ad infinitum, at the word of command, producing soda-water, butter-milk, Epsom salts, Port, Sherry, brandy, gin, rum, whi s ky, noyeau, or any other wino o r spiral, required; and fin a ll y proving to be filled with pocket han e.chiei's perfectly dry, and occupying the whole space when ti , ght . ly packed.

Act. 10. The Enchanted Chair of Comus, in which he who seats himself will be under the magic spell, and appear to the audience, under circumstances least expected, i n a posi tion as peculiar as perplexing. Act. 11. The Mystery of the Charmed Chest ; or, the Nucleus of the Night's Wonders. To comprehend which the audience will have the goodness to observe, in an earlier part of the evening, the chest suspended (like Mahommed's coffin) in raid-air, into which all things will travel, and out of which all will produced. Act. 12. The Homological Evaporation ; or, the Shortest Route to the AutiPodes. Illustrating the easiest mode of ridding ourselves of a troublesome friend, and the advantages of the newly-discovered dia - terrestrial passage from the west ern to the eastern hemisph ere _ -Doors open each evening at half-past 7 ; commence at 8.

At Beeston 0.379 of an inch in depth of rain fell. At 5.45 a.m. the wine became W.S.W., and at 6.15 a.m. S.W. At midnight the tem perature of the air was 55 deg., and from this hour till 5 a.m. it slowly increased to 56 deg. ; from the time the storm of rain and hail commenced the temperature fell rapidly, becoming aer cold as 48.8 deg. in the air and 48.3 deg. on the grass, yet the temperature of the rain which !ell so suddenly was only 32.1 deg., er 16 2' deg. lower ; this had the effect of lowering the temperature of the air 8.7 deg. During the night there was a dif ference of 2 deg. between the wet and dry bulb until 5.15 a.m., when the air became much more saturated with moisture. Between 11 pm. and 10 a.m. the greatest cold of the wet bulb wee 48.7 deg., and the greatest hest of the wet bulb 55.2 deg., being 0.1 deb. and 0.8 deg. lower than those of the 'Try bulb. The mean angle of the air during the gale was an upward current of about 45 deg. ; before the gale the air had for three days been moving almost hori zentally over the surface of the earth, and at the cessa tion cf the gale was only an upward current of 5 deg. The electricity was politive and feeble until 5 15 a.m., when it became negative and powerful—after the storm (at 6 a.m.) again pceitive. For many days there had been very little electricity, except at 5 p.m. on the 24th, when it was negative and powerul, while a hailstorm passed N.W. of this piece at the distance of about a mile. During the gale the distant prospect had been remark. ably clear, te•cerning hazy from the commencement of the rain and hailstorm. Prior to the gale the ozone had been feeble ; during its continuance the amount was 4. The sky was for the most part overcast, with occasional showers of rain from the commencement of the gale until 10 a.m. of the 26th.

(From the Times of this day.) It is now certain that General Sir Win. Codrington is to succeed to the command of the British army in the East. He has, no doubt, by this time received the intelli gence, and, possibly, is already instal-led in his position. A few days may probably bring us news of important opera tions directed by him. Now, therefore, at the close of the second year of the war, the long desire of the country gratified, and its troops are led by a man who belongs nct to the last but to the present generation. When Lord Raglan and the first race of Generals of li:vision were se lected for a distant and hazardous war, a thinking man, but moderately read in history, might have presaged the result. To age and infirmity were intrusted the destinies of our only army. Its commanders had doubtless fought gallantly in their youth, and perhaps hrd rendered not un important services during 40 years of peace; but that the dimly-remembered lessons of the subaltern should more than counterbalance the weaknesses and unreadiness of age was what England, after a century of bitter experiences, should have been the last to believe. An old General is, indeed, sometimes found who has retained unwonted vigour, but that a dozen such should fortuitously come together in the sawn army is a prodigy on welch it was fully to count. That the appointments passed without - censure only shows that the - nation had little knowledge of military affairs, and was content to trust to its rulers with a blind confidence too ill rewarded iu the end. A whole generation of veterans has in twelve months passed away, the rapid progress of events has cured an evil that in former wars lingered for years, the reminiscences of the Peninsula are no longer heard in the camp, and now the highest post is intrusted to an-officer who was a child when Waterloo was fought. ~ • General Codrington entered the army iu 1821, and is, we believe, not yet 50 years.Of age. His first commission was as ensign in the Coldstream Gnarls. He attained to a colonelcy in 1846, and his appointment as Major-General is elated June, 1854. As to his services, it is sufficient to may that he has held a command in the army of the Crimea -_wer since it landed, and foughk always with distinction, in eve; e battle. His conduct in the attack on the Redan has been sharply criticised, but it has been amply and satisfactorily explained. We believe that the experience of war gained in one such year as has just passed away is worth all that half a-century could teach a military secre tary in Spain or ut the Horse Guards, or that could be learnt by any length of warfare against Asiatic moun taineers. General Codrington has witnessed all that we at house have heard of with pride and with regret. It is in his power to profit by past calamities—by the faults or misfortunes of his predecessors. On the other hand, he has seen what English officers and men can do. He has seen them in the dreary watching of the trench, in the sharp conflicts of sortie or assault ; he watched the devo tion—the mole heroic because it was in vain—which marked the last fatal day. He knows his officers, not vaguely or incorrectly through a despatch, but personally and by Lis own judgment; ho has learnt their deeds or ca pabilities from his own eyes, or from that general consent of comrades which is seldom at fault. He alone will be to blame if he is ill served, for the trials of the campaign have brought to light genius in many, ' need soldier-like qualities in still more ; all ere therefor the commander to choose from. It is not .as in the beginning of the cam paign, when seniority or relationship might be called fair titles, because merit could not be known. The meritorious officer is now both known and honoured by time° around him, and neither Government nor people will deny any powers to a General by which Ise can reward such a man and benefit the country. The relations between the French and English armies have always required a wan of tact and cow teay, yet with, a due regard for the honour of his own country and for the feelings of those he leads. Those rela tions will become even more delicate when a campaign in the field leads to extensive and complicated movements, and the safety of each army may depend on the other's punctuality or success. In such a case more frequent dis cussions must take place in order to produce that unity and exactitude without which success may be purchased at too high a price. Every movement of either army must re ceive the consent of two if not mere commanders, and it will demand no small judgment in a General to unite pro• per regard for a colleague's views to a clue confidence in his own. On other points, also, caution will be necessary. It is perhaps commonplace to say that a Commander-m- Chief should preserve the mean between rashness and timidity—that he should not undervalue the enemy or form an excessive estimate of their skill and strength. But this plainly necessary quality is ono of the rarest in a General, and will be greatly tiled in the present case by an unknown country and by an artful and secret foe. It is certainly dangerous to predict success, and difficult to judge What a man will be in the highest position from his achievements is subordinate rank. Chance must have its place in the results of milicary appointments; all that a Government can do is to select the man who appeals the • fittest, and support him to the utmost. There is at least a presumption that General Codrington will succeed, for I we know that he has done well as yet, and there is no as sertion of his incapacity for a higher post. The Govern ment is hound to give him the fullest powers of appoint ment and dismissal, to furnish him speedily and continu ously with material means, and to support his authority against all opponents, at home or abroad. As they have given him their confidence, they are hound not lightly to withdraw it ; conclusive proof of incapacity can alone justify the reversal of their present favouvable judgment, and incapacity is net to he presumed so much from any in dividual mistake as from the general course of a campaign. Should OVA,II444AT.Ire tines. the continence of the euuntry.has been unfortunately bestowed, we have a right to ask that the Government will confess its mistake without waiting for the reiterated demands of the press and the public ; but it will be for the Government more especially to consider how far any ill-success is duo to incapacity or only to ad verse circumstances; hew far a partial failure was con cerned in producing a general success ; how far a course of conduct was forced on the British Commander by causes which controlled his own judgment. The duty of the public is analogous to that of the Government,for it criticises where the Government executes. The people and their represen tatives have to see that the materials and sinews of war shall not fail their Gereral at the crisis of the contest. It is, perhaps, a misfortune for a military man in high posi tion that his remonstrances and complaints are unknown except by a few officials, while the discontent of his subor dinates is communicated to half the households in the country. So far as the nation discovers that a•sy reason able wishes of the Commander-ie-Chief ha.ve'not met with compliance it will be its duty to interfere strongly and at once. Having given to their General all the means of suc cess, it will bo the duty o f th e pu bli c t o a dd pa ti ence an d forbearance to their active exertions in his behalf. If General Codrington's name inspires confidence, let not such a sentiment bo too suddenly changed to upbraiding. Whore, as in recent cases, an ill-result might have been from the first predicted, a calamity only confirms the pre vious apprehension ; but now, with a general whom we think we may trust, we may without danger consider that temporary want of success may have arisen frolll causes which bring on him no discredit. It is necessary to the preservatieu of his influence that General Codrington should have the esteem of his countrymen, and we trust that it will not be lightly taken from him. THE CASE OF STRAHA.N, PAUL, AND CO. ( From the Times of this day.) The cause of public justice and commercial morality has at length been fully and completely vindicated by the trial, conviction, and sentence of Sir John Dean Paul and his partners, Messrs. Strahan and Bates. Against the first of the three the evidence was of a nature qui' e over whelming, and nothing was left to his counsel but to urge technical objections i❑ his favour. Against the other two the evidence rested rather on general presumptions and probabilities, but these proved also too strong to be over berm), and no one who has perused the trial will, we thiek, doubt that Strahan and Bates were accomplices in the acts of Sir J. D. Paul, and therefore justly subjected to the same condemnation. The fact thaL they weee partners, all carrying on the same business, and actively engaged in it,—their acces3 to the books of the firm, which it was their duty to make themselves acquainted with, their ad missions of sub - equent guilt, and the absence of any at tempt to show that the money obtained by the sale of Dr. Griffith's eecuritiel was applied to the separate purposes , of Sir J. D. Paul, all tended with 'irresistible force to the same conclusion Nor can we imagine anything more unfortunate than the attempt which was made to bring the case within the section of the act which exempts front criminal liability persons making disclosures in the Court of Bankruptcy. The prisoners determined, if they could, to bring themselves within the meaning of this section, and for this purpose handed in a deposition which the Court of Bankruptcy, rather incautiously, as we think, re ceived. The Judges seem to have been unanimously of opinion that such a document, so prepared, was a fraud on the act of Parliament, and could not possibly avail the persons making use of it. But, even had this not been so, the deposition was so unskillfully framed that it did not relate at all to the offence for which the prisoners were in dicted. The prisoners were charged with selling without authority and appropriating to their own use the proceeds of Dr. Griffith's Danish Benda, in 1851, while the depcsi tion confessed the pawning, in 1855, of cei Lain other bonds purchased by the firm to replace the bonds of Dr. Griffith sold in the former year. This was not the offence charged, ' and was, indeed, no offence at all; for the bonds purchased to replace those fraudulently abstracted were not in point of law the property of Dr. Griffith, but of the firm that purchased them. Thus has ended that wonderful legal quirk which was, we were told, to deprive justice of her prey, and give to the most undeserving of mankind a shame ful impunity for crime. We never remember a case in which we were able to acquiesce in the proceedings of a court of justice with more entire satisfaction. Hero were men trusted with a large amount of property, who lived,in the most unprin cipled extravagance, and, at the expense of their dupes, revelled in every luxury that money not their own could procure. Not content with this absorption of borrowed funds, they laid their hands upon securities intrusted to them merely for safe keeping, and supported themselves latterly upon the proceeds of theft, reaching to the almost incredible sum of 113,0004; and, while thus subsisting on wholesale plunder, these men assumed to be pious and charitable far beyond their neighbours—to be tho leaders in every subscription, the presiding and directing geniuses at every meeting for pious or eleemosynary purposes, the polished corners and the shining pillars of the temple. They were not content with impunity in the plunder, they aspired to excite the veneration and admiration of man kind at the very moment when t'll'ey were most richly de serving their contempt and hatred. Never was there a more revolting combination, never more hypocrisy joined will be a salutary lesson to the commercial community with mote knavery. We trust that the fate of these three great delinquents From extravagance to fraud, from fraud to theft, fro m _ l3 theft to transportation, is a law of progression which mane a man trembling on the narrow verge between wrong will do well seriously to consider. wanted indications, to which we will not allude, of a very low tone of commercial m o o d, ters where it might least have been exp .1 cognisance and reticence dictated by m otives self-in terest of the most eerions offences. o .criminal law his been ingruntent., de fects, in producing a most defective moraity.

Lord Palmerston has redeemed the pledge which he gave to Mr. Headlam in the course of the last session. Henceforth, or rather from the beginning of the present war with Russia, the widows, chil dren parents, or sisters of any officer falling in battle are entitled to receive, upon giving up all pension or compassionate allowance, the value of the commission of such officer at the regulation price. Nay, so far is this liberality carried, that men who never paid for their commissions, but who have obtained their rank in the army by seniority or interest, are treated as having the same right to the money value of the rank they held as those who have bought and paid for their commissions. With some clumsiness, it must be confessed, yet still _ar e r ahnar hardship completelygild rhegr ieveaffneccte lan i complained thei e remedy of compelling officers to court every species of dan ger under the heaviest penalties in case that danger l i prove fatal, to set on the chance of an hour not merely their lives, but their estates, and only to o often money not- own, but contributed by friends or relatives from very narrow resources, to be repaid, if ever it be in the recipient's power. Thus did the ancient rule increase to the utmost extent the incentives to cowardice, and add the fear of poverty to that of death, as if to disuade an officer from manfully doing his duty. A man might view without shrinking the prospect of death in battle, but when there was added to it the destitu tion of his wife and children few spirits would be so elastic as to view tho result without a shudder. It singular that wo should have contrived to enlist on the side of our enemies the noblest feelings and 'epest sympathic of human nature, nor is it less , :einarkable that the principle of honour has ever been so strong among our officers that all the vices of the system under which they fought have never been able to check that undaunted courage so significantly marked by the proportion which in wetton our - killed and wounded oaken, tjoar to the whole number of the killed and wounded. If, then, this alteration be regarded merely with reference to the case of those who have already fallen in this war, or with reference to the rank already attained in the army before the issuing of the warrant, it must be regarded as a signal act of f Ivour—as the atonement for a hardship cast Upon brave and deserving men. But as regards those who have yet to purchase their way up in the army the case is quite different, and the Warrant seems merely to involve a heavy public loss, with out any corresponding benefit to the objects of its intended bounty. It is the misfortune of a system of purchase that, so long as it exists, it is impos sible permanently to improve the condition of the officer. If, indeed, the regulation and the actual price were the same thing—that is to say, if the re gulation price were to remain the same, to what ever extent the condition of the officer might be improved—we might then go on increasing pay, allowances, and pension with the most perfect con fidence that everything we did tended directly to the benefit of the service ; but, unfortunately, the value of a commission is regulated, not by the esti mation which the Commander-in-Chief may choose to put upon it, but by the number of buyers and the price they are ready to give. Every increase, therefore, in the value of a commission acts as a bonus to its present possessor, should he sell out, and raises the price proportionately to all future purchasers. The commodity b:....comes more mar ketable, and those who want to buy it must pay a higher price for it, £0 that a measure intended for the permanent relief of the service may end only in raising the value of commissions by the additional sum that purchasers will be willing to give for the insurance by the public of their lives against death in the field of battle. So long as purchase is permitted it is impossible perma nently to benefit the condition of the of:Peer, and every attempt to do so is so far an injury that it enhances the pike to be paid, and thus places a commission more out of the reach of the poorer aspirants for distinction. We had hoped that the thorough exposure of our military system would have led to acomplete reform of all those evils which attracted the public eye, among which the purchase of commissions stood pro minent. But the public were unaccountably silent on this matter, and the Rouse of Commons, having exhausted its energy on debates of a personal and party character, had neither time nor inclination left for real and durable reform. Yet it is mani fest that the abuse complained of would be quite as I effectually remedied if the officer went into battle dithout having purchased his commission at all i's if he went there with the certainty that ii he fell the value of the t. immission should be restored to ;ais relatives. If Cie system of purchase be fraught with so many evils, the simpler plan would be to I abolish it at once, rather than to engraft upon it a partial plan of life insurance at' the expense of the public. We say a partial life insurance, because the new Warrant does not extend to the case of officers dying of disease or of wounds more than six months after they were received. Iu war much more life is lost by sickness than by the sword, and we shall expect to hear a claim preferred on behalf of the relatives of those bravo men who have perished by fever cr cholera, and a complaint that, although the loss was as great and the service as good, the remune ration was so entirely different. It must also be remembered, when considering the case of those who, but for this warrant, would have lost the I value of their commissions, that the commission was purchased subject to this very contingency of loss by death, and that, had that contingency been removed, a higher sum would have been paid. Upon the whole, however, though we cannot disapprove a measure which will give relief to the families of so many brave men who have fallen for their country, and soothe the last moments of so many more who are now suffering under wounds from which they are not destined to recover, we confess that the new warrant finds its support rather in an appeal to the feelings than the reason; and that, besides, it will tend to perpetuate a sys tem which, so long, as it endures, gives to our ser vice an amateur tone and habits from which the gallantry of all and the intelligence of many can not wholly redeem it. The new warrant is an im portant step towards recognising property in com missions, and it would only be a further develop ment of the same principle to make them descend ible and devisable, to allow a captain to settle his company on his marriage, or a colonel to entail his regiment severally and successively on his first and other sons. The notions of service and property are essentially distinct, and ought to be kept so, and we cannot but deprecate any admission which tends to break down this necessary line of demr:- • cation.---Times.

MANCHESTER, Oc;;, 26.—We stated in our last report that, although the down wa7cl course of prices had rc• ceived no check, indications of a slightly improved tone of feeling were not unobservable. Sitva then the direc tors of the Bank of England have held their weekly meeting, at which no fui thtr a'taTation in the rate of discount was made. It appears, therefore, that a some what ea - ier state of the ourrencj is now experienced. This was showing itself in tbeearlier part of the week, and has become more apparent e-ch succeeding day. For some time back mercantile men have been narrowing their ha bilities, and gathering their resources - under their hands as much as possible. The benefit of this cautious pro cedure bas been felt as the drain of gold has proceeded, at-. - 1 as the rate of interest has risen, and is very palpable to everybody at the present moment. The entire trade of the country has remelt! .1 sound and underanged, with no other exception than the fall in prices. Our own dia -1 tea has exhibited a remarkable case in regard to means, and so also have most of the other graat centres of indus try and commerce, while scarcely any abridgment of em ployment for manufacturing operatives has taken place. But a conviction that the uncertainty of our position ren ders continued caut'on indispensable to safety, seems to have rooted itself deeply in the minds of merchants and dealers, spinners and manufacturers. They have seen a ' very str;kinginetance of the power of political causes to effect a most serious financial disturbance, Which does not shake our tre le, only becau,e that trade is, on the whole, upon a solid footing ; and, with this fresh in their memories, they are not likely to be thrown off their guard by appearances which are so manifestly liable to pass away. So that, although the price of yarns am' gcods have now declined to very low ranges, the differ. ent classes of buyers are still holding back from business a a very decided way, and the market at large remains flat. But people are less gloomy, and are inclined to think that was have perhaps seen the wor st ; though a slight shadow is east upon us from the United States. We find that there has been more inquiry to-day for cloth of some descriptions on the part of home houses ; and purchases of goods for India and China have been made, for delivery within a short time, on account of the sailing of a certain vessel. In the same way, 16s. to 245. water twist has been taken for China. But the ope rations we speak of are few and exceptienal, and do not materially affect a general estimate of the market-. They are, however, valuable as barometers. The parties to these transactions are persons possessing ample resources, and not given to ill-considered ventures ; it is, therefore, a fact to be noted when they venture to act under cir cumstances.such as now exist. NOTTINGHAM, Oct. 25.—Since our last report of the condition of business in th;q town, nothing worthy of re mark has occurred, and both the hosiery and lace trades are in a more healthy state than might naturally be ex pected.

STAMPED 5D bringing himself within the danger of the criminal law, that people have come to regard a crime as no crime, simply b3cause it is visited by no punishment. The absurd notion that a parson truf,t3d with the property of another is less guilty in appropriating it to his own use than a person not so trusted runs through our whole law, and vitiates the morals of commerce. The starving wretch who takes a loaf of bread from a baker's counter is a thief, and is punished accordingly ; the fraudulent trustee who sells out stock standing in his name in tru4t for the widow and the orphan has only committed a civil wrong, and is sub ject to no criminal liability whatever. A clerk or servant who receives money on account of his principal for which he does not account may be transported for embezzlement ; a trustee who does the same thing is liable to do no pun ishment whatever. In this very case, if Strahan, Paul, and Bates had not bee❑ bankers, but merely trustees of a mar riage settlement, they might have sold Dr. Griffith's bonds and appropriated the proceeds without any fear of the Old Bliley. It would be well if the detection of this great iniquity were to lead to a reform of the criminal law in this respect. We can see no reason why the acquiring the rop ,rty of another pers m by fr..ud should not be crimi nal in all cases, instead of being penal in the case of clerks, servants, hankers, factors, and persons using false pre tences, and in all other cases attended with the utmost impunity. The question well deserves the attention of the Legislature. ( Prom the Daily News of this day. ) The impression made upon the majority of that class in society to which Sir John Dean Paul and his pertners be longed, by the sentence passed upon them, seems almost to border upon panic. Nowhere do you hear the justice of the sentence impugned—nowhere do you hear its necessity deaied—bet on all sides you hear a muttering about its being terribly severe. Well : it is severe, It falls more heavily upon men who have occupied the social position from which they have fallen than a similar sentence would upon men of' the class to whom it is most frequently awarded. The three convicts are no longer young ; they have all their lives been accustomed to the indulgences of the wealthier classes—to be waited upon with respect or obsequiousness. The change in their condition will be terrible. The poor felon who has all is life been accus tomed to play at hide and seek with the police, who has been one day en the verge of starvation, the next rioting in vulgar emcees, is scarcely aware of a change. Fourteen years' transportation to such a man sometimes will be the means of mak;ng him more comfortable ; to Paul, Strahan, and Bates it is a living death. And yet who is there that does not feel in his heart that justice could net have been satisfied with a more lenient sentence? These men have sinned against their better knowledge. The motive which impelled them to crime —the vanity of appear ing more prosperous in the eyes of the world than they really were, ought to have been as nothing to the motive which held them back from its perpetration —the desire to retain the fair reputation they en joyed. Yet, to ciatify this poor and paltry vanity, they stooped to bleach of trust; they inclined the certain risk of beggaring many widows and orphans—of robbing the poor. And their clime was not, as it has been sought to be represented, a yielding to a sudden and irresistible pressure; it was deliberately set about, and persevered in for months, if not for years. If they were to be pun ished at all, any punishment short of that pronounced against them would have been a barefaced mockery. Nor can wo conceal from ourselves that at the present moment each an expression of the moral sense of the community as the conviction and sentence of Paul, Strahan, and Bates has been urgently needed. It is only necessary to recall the history of railway speculation, and certain recent disclosures respecting the manner in which monetary ne gotiations are conducted, the payment of Customs evaded, and aricles of food systematically adulterated, to be con vinced that a moral plague sore is spreading through our commercial community. Nay, listen to the semi-apolo getic tone in which the conduct of Paul, Strahan, and Bates, and of others who have recently been the town talk, is spoken of by men in fair credit with their fellow-citizens, because they have, or are supposed to have, plenty of money in their pockets. We have little faith in, and less charity for, that morality which shows itself in severe censure of those who fall fr, m the paths of virtue. We know that severe professions of p:in ciple are sometimes coupled with great laxity in practice. Still, exneiienca teaches us that when the moral tone of a community is lowered—when it gets accustomed to look upon knavery with indulgence and to speak of it with levity—the vigour of national character is relaxed, and the degraded people sink in the scale of nations. England has of late been insensibly gliding down this perilous inclined plane; and seine such startling incident as the conviction and sentence of the three bankers was needed to rouse us to the necessity of an effort to regain our old standing ground. The imprese;on made upon the majority of what are con ventionally termed the lower classes, by the conviction and sentence of Sir John Dean Paul and his partners, is some what different. Before the trial took place we had noticed a disposition among them to repel with incredulity the belief that a jury could be found to convic: - , " gentlemen." Since the trial we are not certain that there has not ex isted among them a considerable amount of disappoint ment at findieg their depreciatory anticipations regarding our Courts of Justice falsified. Many appear to be half sorry that au opportunity for grumbling and censure has not been afforded them. But still more extensively may be found to prevail a scepticism as to the possibility of the sentence being entries into effect with its full severity. And we frankly confess that to some ex tent we ou-selves share in this sceptical feeling: Wo have had some opportunity of observing how the house-onice is at all times pestered with_a_pldiesa for remissions of sentences, iu behalf of any coisiietil — Whir have the good luck to possess friends and patrons. Sni:k applications are motived, in the great majority of cases, not by any belief that the convict has been harshly or unfairly con.lemned, or that he has shown any unequivo cal. signs of amendment, but simply by a foolish, unrea soning good-nature, or a silly vanity of being thought to possess influence in h'gh quarters. The pertinacity of ap plicants of this kind is inconceivable. Month after mouth, and year after year, they return to the charge. Every change of Al inistry—a frequent enough event in our days —stimulates them to try whether the new man is not more impressible than bis predecessor. And generally they succeed in tiring out the resistance of the Home-office. Whoever occupies that department may make up his mind to be bombarded by memorials in behalf of Paul, Strahan, and Bates. The bombardment cf Sebastopol was a joke to the bombardment that awaits him. We can scarcely conceive any amount of human obstinacy sufficient to withstand the vigorous and incessant fire that will be kept up, and shall be noways surprised to learn a year or two hence that the convicts are quietly rn , ticating at Bou logne, or that they have opened a bank at Perth or Free mantle, in 'Western Australia. At the same time we shall deeply regret such a consummation, as calculated to destroy the effect of the very necessary lesson that has just been read to our trading community. The possibility of an appeal from the sentence of the Court has been spoken of. It is not very likely that such an appeal will be made ; taking into account the stern, but dignified, language held towards the prisoners by the presiding judge, it is all but certain that it would Its success would be to be deprecated ; for it would go far to confirm a suspicion, already too prevalent, that our penal laws are mere cobwebs, through which big wasps and hornets break easily, though small flies are caught in them. The reversal of the sentence would not restore the convicts to the respect of their fellow-citizens—for even their counsel, at the trial, addressed themselves merely («1 misericordiam jadicis, acknowledging the guilt of their clients. By the way, we observe that the learned banis ters, after cudgelling their brains for something to say in behalf of their clients, fell upon the stale device of attack ing the press. Sir F. Thesiger asserted that "for weeks and weeks the conduct of the defendants bad been com mented upon in numerous publications, and every possible prejudice had been excited against them in the public mind." Mr. Edwin James "entreated the jury not to allow their decision to be influenced by the prejudice that had been cast upon the defendants by the remarks of the press." Now, it is the misfortune of our position to be obliged to read more newspapers than the generality of mon, and wo confidently affirm that, with the excep tion of our blundering and bullying contemporary the Times, the English press, with a laudable love of fair play, abstained from commenting on the case of the three convicts before trial. The learned counsel would have said the Times if they had not been afraid of that journal, but quailing before its vixen tongue, they hinted their complaints under the safe generality of " the press." This is grossly unjust ; for English journalists, as a body, are fully more observant of the dictates of morality and decorum, in adopting or advocating a cause, than bar risters. We do not believe that any one on our own esta blishment—from the chief down to the youngest and most unreflecting "devil"—could be brazen enough, for the sake of a fee, with all the eyes in a -crowded court of justice riveted upon him, to maintain by shameless sophistry that Sir John Dean Paul is a religious man. The baronet may have that vague, instinctive devotional sense which is not uufrequently found to survive the depravation of the morel sense ; he may bo of those who tremble before the ideas of super natural power impressed upon them in youth, and !Kok to deprecate punishment by abject petitions ; but that is mot religion, it is mere superstition. Religion implies the comb:nation of the devotional instinct with a conviction that to indulge it and yet commit moral offences i 3 ereasi c .: cal blasphemy, and the grossest insult that can be offend . t e j the Deity. Had Sir J. D Paul been really religious, he might have yielded to strong momentary teruptatmenmabti; he could not have persevered in the deliberaten,:iYe, t course of dishonesty of which he has been ue that learned counsel who affected on Friday last to sapaie. .ce . ) . :ed.

CoRN °- v o FLOUR IN F-RILICCE.—The price of calm Burin the past week has tended decidedly downwards , in h ;French markets. Corn has been co m i ng i n rap idly both t from the United States and the Danubian pro- VInC2P, and the flour mills are now at full work. The conseq ue nce is that the h o ld ers of flour have been endea• vouring to sell part of their stock, and, as the e frirs hare taken place in almost every direction at the same time, prices have become lower. In the Paris market at pre. sent the stock of flour on hand is about 18,000 metrical quintals, the quantity, it will be seen, continuing to ad vance rather rapidly. It was difficult to effect sal( it during the pact week in Paris the millers hold nz out for previous pricei, and the ' buyers being determined not to give them. The very best quality flour can be now obtained for 104 f. or 105 f. the 157 kilogrammes, and inferior kinds for from 100 f. or 104f'. Very little wheat was sold in Paris during the week, pureba,,ers absolutely I refuting preceding prices.

NOTIONS FROM NEWMARRET. --WORDS ABOUT WORCESTER. There was really too much of a good thing at News market last week, and when the sports were brought to a termination, on Saturday, one was tempted to exclaim ith Ro "Oh, Jupiter, how weary are my spirits." Like Touchstone, however, many turfites cared little for their spirits if their legs were not so weary, for the daily four hours w an d er i ng over -th e "bl as ted heath" was cal culated to try the endurance of the stoutest pedes trian. Th e wea th er , h owever , was g l o riously fine and invi g o r ati n g, a nd even on Friday when in t i n n ire t n h t e s, t e h a e rl a y ite p rn ar G t on of wa th s e ni m ea e r r a n n in d gtherain fell propitious, the only drawback from the full enjoyment of the sport being occasioned by the damp and sodden heath. On that day, too, it wns quite pleasant to see the revived spirits of the fielders, and the hearty "jollies" they gave when the favourites were successively beaten. The "D'Ors" landed a stake on Saturday with Lady Florence, amidst }bud huzzas, which followed him as he rode in hot haste.to the - weighing stand, declaring that no one should "fake" either the lad cr the mare. The performances of the Derby horses were watched with much interest. Despite the prejudice which still exists against Artillery, I am inclined to entertain a most favourable opinion of that horse's racing ability, and deem him likely to trtsin on to a high degree of im• provement. Still people were not satisfied with his per; formance with Queen's Head who looked " all over winning" as' the hcrses passed the " Duke's stand." Ar. tillery seems, however, a slow starter, but he ran with the utmost gameness, and taking into consideration the position which Queen's Head subsequently attained in the Nursery Stakes, his running fur the Criterion was no very conteniptihle display of ability. The supporters ofYel lo w Jack were not a little dismayed by the close race which Secret made with their crack on Wednesday. Yellow Jack, however, seemed "green," and besides the result of the Second Class Nursery Stakes proved that in Secret he met a " clinker." Still lam not favourably disposed towards Yellow Jack, and until I see more of him I shall deem his stable companion Coroner worthier of support for the Derby. Peter Wrlkine • ran an unprepared horse, but his "chance" among the " flyers" will be somewhat slender. John Day's Derby horses excite considerable curiosity. Roger thorpe will be a great favourite. Every-book is "full" about him, and I certainly have faith in his pretensions. I have nothing new to add to the voluminous remarks already published anent the Cambridgeshire. The final squaring of accounts will take place this afternoon, and May be satisfactorily conducted. Hopes are entertained that the reported cases of default will bo arranged to the satisfaction and honour of all patties. Perhaps few meetings are better entitled to the sups port and encouragement of racing men than those annu ally celebrated at Worcester. The gathering which will be held tremorrow and Wednesday will not he the least suc cessful of the many Autumn Meetings. The programme is attractive, and the supply and character of the racing are likely to be equaby satisfactory. The Handicap for two-yr-olds has nine nominations, of which Bobby Taft will perhaps be the successful com petitor. The Chicken and Pole Star seem the most attractive names among the entries for the Autumn Han dicap, and the trusted representative of the stable will be a most formidable competitor. Of their respective owners' " intentions," I have of course no knowledge, and the public must exercise caution in their deaFngs with the animals under notice. My present fancy is for Pole Star. Mary and Little Dtvie are next in my estimation. For the Flying Han d cap I shall select Chicken, Flacrow, and Byrsa. I have no knowledge of the " little game " which will be played with the "jumpers." Oct. 29. A FRESH MAN. BUMOUBB A T VIENNA. —.J.-- The Cologne Gazette contains the following letter addressed to it from Vienna by one of its corre spondents. Th 3 Nord, in alluding to the article, trills it curious, but declines guaranteeing the authenticity of its contents. During the last few weeks there has been, through a diplomatic channel, au exchange of opinions between the coin is of Vienna and Paris, respecting the interpre tation of the fresh demands which are to be made to Russia, and which demands the allied powers consider to be the legitimate consequences of the late military results. It appears that up to the present moment the allies f December the 2d have not succeeded in coming to an understanding on this delicate point, and the rea sons of this non-success I now proceed to give you. The western powers intend detaching the whole of the Crimea from the rest of Russia, because in their eyes Ibis will be the cx3icee mode i fi,nt, of indemnifying themselves for the expenses of the war; and, recond, of rendering impos , ible for ever the realisation of the plans entertained by Catherirre the Grcat and her successors, since the northern power would thus be prevente.l from developing her navy so as to menace the equilibrium of Europe. In principle, Austria appears, it is true, to be not dis inclined to adopt such an arrangement, but she never theless considers it out of her power to adhere to it in an effective manner, until the allies shall first of all, by compelling the Russians to retire, have seized de facto the Tavric peninsula, and definitively organised a form of Government in that country. They attach here greater importance to this last named point, since it is evident that unity of opinion this instance is imperiously commanded by the prospect of those great advantages that must ultimately accrue to the kingdoms kJundcd by the Black Sea, with re spect to their Esropean commerce. M. de Bourqucney, who on this head is intimately ac quainted with the intentions of the Austrian Cabinet, communicated them during his stay at Paris to his So vereign, and it is already known here, that he has re ceived instructions from him to bring to a satisfactory conclusion the deliberations that may possibly have to be entered into on this subject with the Cabinet of Vienna. SIR W. CODRINGTON. The following letter has been addressed to A contain• porary : Sir,—l have returned to this country from the Crimea but a few days, and as I was engaged in the attack on the Redan I have been frequently asked " Why Sir William Codringtoa did not bring up his supports ?" and I find that blame has been attached to him by the public. In ju , tice to that brave and distinguished officer, I think it but fair to point out to your readers that, if they will look to the return of casualties on the Bth of Sep• tember, they will find that the Light Division—Viz, 90th, 97th, 19th, 88;h, and 77th-7th, 23d, 33d, 34tb, and 2,1 battalion Rifle Itligade, were expended, and when Sir William, upon being asked for supports, " You can take the Royaly it was because be had no troops of his own division to send forward.
