Friday, Oct. 26, 1819 DIEREWETHER, TO THE PUBLIC.—An Appeal is re=pect'ully, bat earnestly, made to the Benevolent Public on behalf of the 'Widows and Children of the late JOSEPH WILLIAMS and ALEX ANDER SIIARPE, who, having been convicted on a charge of SEDITION, were cut off by the Cholera in the prison wherein they Were confined. _ . . . . Their untimely and lamentable deaths were mainly brought about by the cruet fact, that although the pestilence was raging in all its fury at the time, and the publications of the Board of Health em phatically recommended a generous diet as one of the necessary pre cautions, those unfortunate men were placed upon the fare of bread and water as a punishment for their refusal to perform that portion Of labour which was allotted to them. • To this refusal they were instigated by no m:tive of factious op position to the discipline of the gaol where they were incarcerat ; but simply by the deeply-rooted conviction that a broad line of demarcation was to be drawn between political prisoners un tainted by dishonouring crime, Mid the usual class of felons and, misdemeanants. Without, therefore, ming harsh language, it may be fairly Stated that these men became the victims of a disregard to these sanitary precautions which were so imperatively necessary at the time to avert the influence of the terrible pestilence which woe raging ; and under these circumstances, an appeal is confidently made to the benevolent of all grades of opinion, on behalf of the des titute wives and orphans, whom the deceased prisoners have left be hind them. A Committee has been formed for the purpose of receiving contri bvtions, and disposing of the amount in a manner calculated to en sure a permanent advantage to the widows and orphans whose de plorable condition is thus introduced to the public notice. Donations will be received at " Reynolds's Miscellany" Office, 7, Wellington-street North, Strand; at the National Land Office, 144, High Holborn ; and at the " Northern Star" Office, 16, Great Wind mill-street, Haymarket. Contributions from the country may be forwarded by Post-office Order, or in postage stamps, and the General Committee will meet for business purposes at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet•street, on the first Monday in every month, at Eight o'clock in the evening.

ANOVELTY for the approaching season is in preparation to which a distinguishing name has not yet been given, but which the inventors, Messrs. NICOLL, can recommend as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can be seen at 114, 116, and 120, Regent•street, and 22, Cornhill, as also THE TREBLE Garment, or PALETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the characteristics of the famed Paletot (registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65) is its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible from a warm to a light Overcoat, or vice versa, at the pleasure of the wearer, or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re (ndre. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre ciated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in this variable climate. THE NICOLL has been secured by Royal Letters Patent in ENGLAND, IRELAND, SCOTLAND, and the COLONIES ; it can, therefore, only be purchased in the country, or ab road, of Messrs. NICOLL'S (the patentees) reco g nised AGENTS, and in LONDON only of themselves, viz., at 114, 116, PIO, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL.

OPENING of the NEW COAL EXCHANGE. HElt MAJESTY'S 'VIM r. No doubt' the reader would esteem it strange, If Moses' Muse forgot the Coal Exchange ; And, therefore, as the Queen's to came, I'll greet her, By writing on the coals a little metre. My burning loyalty I cannot smother, Nor yet exchange this subject for another. The Queen, no doubt, will find her subjects give her A very warm reception on the river. . Success, I say, to that commercial scheme Whose memorable opening forms my theme ; For, oh 1 each portion of the pile is rife, With fond Ideas of home and homely life. And now, shall I be quitting the sublime, By Introducing Moses in my rhyme? • No : Moses, who have long enjoyed control, Ara nobs in trade -L—l don't mean knobs of coal. Moses and Son's attire is so well made That it has long en- ured a flare-up trade. Moses and Son, whose words ne'er end in smoke, Have given monopoly a timely poke ; May I not add, too. that the Coal Exchange Is not by any means the sole Exchange ? Moses and Son at their Depot arrai:ge, To exchange your goods without a word's exchange ; And hence it is that such a stir is made By Messrs. Moses in their darning trade.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, the Company being prohibited, by the i4th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis puting a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PRE WHIM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue , a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted. whereby the security of a creditor, hold er of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at; their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or 'Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

The barony and estate of Islay, comprising the island of Islay and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which 34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present to 20,0001.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex pended in drainage an! improvements. The rents are periodically and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for about 500.0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, and contingent expenses, of 600,0001., in 12,000 501. shares, each shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his subscription to every shateholder whose nominee lapses. The remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business of a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of profits. Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his Investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of In terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarantee indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and lucra tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years ins nominee survives, In the accumulated and constantly improving rental ; and, in the event of his nominee being the last survivor, will become tic absolute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced. The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con sidered by F. G. P. Neison, Eeq., the eminent actuary of the Me dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and recelvsd his entire ap probation. The estf to is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland.

" .50.,—IIaving suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke In the moniing comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health, I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and t'ey all speak highly of the benefit they have received from hem. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effcc:ed by your wonderful medicine, Sou are at perfect liberty to publish it. ." I am, Sir, yours respectfully, J. J. WILSON."

REPORT OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS ON CHOLERA. A long report of the cholera committee, appointed some time since by the Royal College of Physicians, has been agreed to, and will be circulated amongst the members of the college. The following are the prin cipal results arrived at, and the conclusion which seems to have justified them : " 1. Bodies presenting the characteristic forms of the so. called cholera fungi are not to be detected in the air, and as far as our experiments have gone, not in the drinking water of infected places. "2. It is established that, under the term annular bodies' arid ' cholera cells, or fungi,' there have been confounded many objects of various and totally dis tinct natures. " 3. A large number of these have been traced to substances taken as food or medicine. "4. The origin of others is still doubtful, but these are clearly not fungi. "5. All the more remarkable forms are to be detected in the intestinal evacuations of persons la bouring under diseases totally different in their nature from cholera. " Lastly. We draw from these premises the general conclusion that the bodies found and described by Messrs. Brittan and Swayne are not the cause of cholera, and have no exclusive connexion with that disease; or in other words, that the whole theory of the disease which has recently been propounded is erroneotp, as far as it is based on the existence of the bodies in question. 44 W ILLI Ast BALM, M.D. ?

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.' FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIM ES.—The political fortunes of General Nar vaefi and of his Administration have scarcely owed more to his own firmness and resolution than to the weakness and ineptitude of his adversaries; and if any thing was still wanting to complete his ascendancy over the councils of the Queen of ' , Spain, that want has been supplied by the late ridiculous and abortive attempt .to destroy it. Hitherto the Duke of Valencia has more frequently been compelled to display his remarkable •energy of character by the attacks of the Liberal party, the intrigues of foreign Liberal agents, or the commotions of the populace, than in the defence of the Constituiion. But on the present occasion the attack came from the opposite quarter. It was not—as some of our contemporaries imagined in their inflexible and indiscriminating antipathy to the only able apd successful ruler whom modern Spain has produced—it was not by an intrigue of Christina, or with any intention of favouring the return to office of a more popular Go vernment, that this transient and whimsical stroke of policy was attempted. On the contrary, the personages of the plot were in every particular worthy to have figured in the ancient comedies and stratagems of the Court of Spain. A crafty monk and an ecstatic nun were the principal agents in the transaction ; a Prince who bears the title of King Consort, and exercised the functions of a Master of the Household, though sunk in the torpid superstition and premature decrepitude of his race, was their tool ; and their object seems to have been the formation of a Government, priest•riddeti in the Cabinet and unrepresented in the Chambers, without the slightest hold on any political party, on the army, or on any man of. note or ability, as if it were to show the world bow con temptible and impossible a thing the absOlutism of such a Courts as that of Spain has now become. We are left to conjecture what means were em ployed to obtain the assent of Queen Isabella to so extravagant a proposal, especially as it was presented to her by one for whose judgment and resolution she can have no respect, and who became her laughing stock when he became her husband. Probably the decision was suddenly taken in one of those freaks of prerogative or in that state of reckless indifference to which the Queen of Sapin has sometimes given way. The Queen-Mother was evidently unacquainted wish the scheme, for she once remonstrated with her daughter, and doubtless perceived the vast accession of influence and consideration that such a blunder would give to a Minister already sufficiently powerful to be at times the object of her own jealousy and dread. The Ministers themselves appear to have had wind of the project for their destruction but a short time before the ordinances of dismissal were signed, in spite of the household spies which infest every room in the Palace. It is scarcely credible that the luckless nominees of the King, who held the I offices of State during this day of dupes, were pre pared for the task which devolved upon them. At any rate they made no active use of their authority, and abstained from taking any of those vigorous measures which would alone have given even a chance of success to an Absolutist conspiracy. No appeal was made to the army, no arrests took place amongst those who would be most able and most resolved to oppose, in the name of the Constitution, so sudden a coup d tut. Narvaez himself seems to have felt on his return to office that such opponents as these were too paltry to be severely dealt with ; or possibly the exalted position of the chief conspirator may have saved the lives of all the rest. The King was at once removed from the head of the household, and deprived of the only share of authority over the royal property he had ever enjoyed. Friar Fulgencio will probably expiate his offence by severer exercises of piety in an Andalusian monastery, and the nun Patrocinia, whose impostures have long been a scandal to the Church, may " go in peace" to one of the more retired convents of the Queen's dominions. But General Balboa escapes with a visit to an African garrison, and his colleagues may mourn in more than their former obscurity the momentary aberration of the prerogative which converted them into statesmen. The only real gainer in the transaction is General Narvaez himself, who has shown by his conduct on this occasion that he is as little disposed to sacrifice the reviving Government of Spain to a cabal of fanatical Absolutists as to surrender it to the populace in the streets of Madrid, or to quail before the Opposition in the Legislature. It is precisely because the existing institutions of Spain are upheld by a firm grasp and a competent power that we venture to hope they will not again degenerate into anarchy, or sink under the foolish and perfidious hostility of either branch of the royal family. Hereafter it may be for the welfare of Spain to have Administrations imbued with a more liberal spirit, and Ministers of a more temperate and forbearing character. If the Constitu tion last, the gradual progress of events may bring about these salutary changes, but at present the es sential point is that the institutions which may one day bear these fruits should strike root into the soil, and that the authority of the laws should be equally maintained against the crafty emissaries who reach the royal closet, and against those emissaries, no less crafty, who foment the discontent of the populace. It is the privilege of constitutional government, that although a change of Ministers may be effected by an indiscreet impulse of the Crown, as we witnessed even in this country in 1834, their tenure of office depends on the more serious and deliberate convic tions of the nation. It is evident from all the accounts which have reached us that the fall of the Narvaez Cabinet was received with equal dismay and surprise in Madrid, and the prompt return to . office of that Government was hailed with satisfaction even by its habitual opponents. For, however, they may desire to over throw the Government by the effects of fair debate and by the will of the Chambers, they are well aware that it a powerful minister could at once be paralyzed and expelled by occult influence of the most sinister and despotic tendency, representative government would cease to exist altogether. In this instance, therefore, the triumph of Narvasz has been that of the Constitution itself, and we trust the lesson will not be lost upon the Court. His own conduct, when he became aware of the intentions of the royal per sonages, appears to have been dignifiedand judicious; and it is, perhaps, fortunate that he showed no dis position to resort to other measures, which so sudden and violent a provocation might have suggested to his resentment. We have long been of opinion that the Duke of Valencia is upon the whole the Minister best fitted at this time in Spain to support the. throne, in spite of various occurrences so derogatory to its proper dignity—to preserve the public peace at a period i of frequent revolution—to promote the real welfare of the nation—and even to lay the basis of more sincere and complete constitutional government. If at mo n.ents of danger and comparative weakness he has shown himself' harsh, intemperate, and overbearing, it must be conceded that when he has found himself in the full possession of undisputed power he has shown no mean submission to the arbitrary tendencies of the Court, and in the important affairs of Rome and of the tariff he has leant rather to the side of a liberal policy. In short, he has held his own inde pendent course against the intrigues of the French dynasty and the intrigues of the Spanish confessional; he has raised the tone and attitude of Spain in her relations with foreign Powers ; under his administra tion the army, the fleet, and the finances of the king-'I dom have revived; he has crowned his policy by a general and unrestricted amnesty; and if his more rigorous measures have sometimes justified the invec tive of his opponents, it must be admitted from the e,vidence of facts that the results of his policy have surpassed the expectations of his adherents, and have almost obliterated those traces of anarchy and civil war which 40 years of incessant contests had inflicted on Spain. AD VERTISER.—Thanks to Lord Roden and his friends, the flames of religious discord have ex tended once more from one end of Ireland to the other. At the extreme and central points of Ireland, that deadly enmity which once disgraced both reli gion and humanity, and opposed a hopeless barrier to all political improvements, again rears its hideous deformity at the magic bidding of men who have stultified their understandings and betrayed their trust. Under the Marquis of Downshire, in the North, and two Protestant Associations in Dublin and the extreme South, the old reign of bigotry hoe been re-proclaimed. In the dismissal of Lord Roden the Protestants of Cork see nothing but " conciliation and support of Papists and rebels, the discountenancing of Protestants, and the propa gation and spread of ' error and false doctrine. " If the occasion were not so serious, we could smile at the childish alarm which these words betray. But they contain a graver import than this. They re veal the feeling of the dominant minority of Ireland, fostered by past mis-government, and which seems to have equally perverted their good sense and cote rupted their morality. For let any dispassionate man renal for a moment the circumstances which gave rise to Lord Peoden'o dismissal, and consequently to this address of the Corlc Association, and what inference ' must he draw from those facts, coupled with the len• guage above quoted ? Why, he must conclude that in the mind of an Irish Protestant the act of dismissing from the bench a nobleman and his 1 associates, who had encouraged , and afterwards protected the perpetrators of the most savage murders , ' amounts to " conciliation and support of Papists and rebels," &c. Now, if we compare the Protestant rebels of this year under Lord Roden and the Messrs. Beers, with the Catholic rebels of last year under Mitchel, Meagher, and O'Brien, there is one remark able distinction between their cases, whichconstitutes a vast disparity between their crimes. No matter how mistaken, no matter how criminally rash were the rebels of the Confederation, they appeared as the vi et- arnzis advocates of a starving people ; of men who had none of the comforts of life ; and who, until late year s , h a d b u t f ew o f th e pr i v il eges of society. Oppression w ith th em was an h ere di tary grievance. It was an estate—and their only one— handed down from father to son. Few nations have endured what had been inflicted on the Catholic portion of Ireland ; and if a set of young men, stung with the recollection of an embittering part, and seeing its fruits in the squalor and death so thickly strewn around them, were hurried into acts of violence, all we can say is, that both here as well as in Ireland, there was a feeling to this extent in their favour, that the commutation, of the capital sentence was hailed with universal satisfaction. But when we turn to the rebels of 1849, we see a very different set of advocates, and a very different race of clients. Whatever was worth having in Ireland was in the possession of these men. The miserable minority of the country, they had the lion's share of its wealth ; they received it from former Legislatures ; they held it by a title of pre scription, even admitting the fraud of the original grant; and no man was seeking to dispossess them of their gains, well-gotten or ill. Will any plain sensed Englishman tell us, what cause had these people to rebel ? What incentive had they to rise in arms against their Catholic fellow-countrymen, from whom they had nothing to get but their blood? To turn triumph into insult, and perpetuate the 'taunt, they assembled in . arms, and, after the banquet in Tolly more Park,'repaired to their after-feast of slaughter at Doily's Brae. It would be an insult' to common sense to pretend that the criminality of the latter case does not greatly exceed that of the former. But so utterly deficient do the Irish Protestants appear to be in this commo dity, that what in England we have denounced as a day of barbarous murders, they appear to regard as something very virtuous and admirable. They cha racterize Lord Clarendon's resolution to put down this butchery as an attempt to propagate " error and false doctrine ;" whence we may fairly conclude that the way to propagate sound doctrine is to murder idiots and old women, and turn incendiary - wherever a Catholic has a house or a haystack. Now all this, upon which the disaffected Protestants of Ireland are " grown so great," will not in the end prove the most nourishing food for their party. While they believe that they are acting in a very heroical manner, the quiet people of this country are looking on with as much patience as men can command, who are called to witness the revels of fanaticism. They are measuring the rights and wrongs of that " Protestantism" for which the belligerents are so fierce in professions of faith ; and they begin to think that this fine word is a mere cloak for something else. We know that religion has always been one of the most successful disguises a bad or an ambitious man could assume. But if the Irish Protestants fancy that they can play over again a game of which every one here is heartily sick, they are mistaken. Nor let it be forgotten that these men have brought a bitter disappoint ment to hopes which had been ardently cherished in England. After bearing, as far as money could bear, the brunt of a famine of five years' duration— in which the Protestant north would have refused us the help of a sixpenny rate-in-aid—we had begun to look for better times; and augured from her Majesty's visit, that they were at hand. But Lord Roden and his friends have put an end to that, unless indeed they are to sink into the contempt they merit, and Ireland be destined to survive their " loyalty." But whatever is in store for us, in this respect, we repeat the fact, that from north to south the old demon of bigotry has proclaimed his empire, which we trust to the strength of Government, and the good sense of this country, will not be of long duration. THE ROYAL VISIT TO THE CITY. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a special court was held, as the summons stated, to receive a report on a communication re ceived by the Lord Mayor from Lord John Russell, on the 27th inst., and on the course to be adopted for opening the new Coal Exchange, in the event of her Majesty's absence; and further to empower the com mittee, in conjunction with the Recorder and the proper officers, to make such alterations in the address of this Court to her Majesty as may be rendered ne cessary by the altered circumstances of presenting the acme. The court was fully attended by the members of both courts. The proceedings of the court were from etiquette private. We understand that the court proceeded—after having heard the report read, stating that the Queen's indisposition would, to the great regret of the corn mittee, probably prevent her Majesty from honouring the City with her presence at the opening of the Coal Exchange, and that Prince Albert and the Princess Royal and the Prince of \Vales would represent her Majesty upon the occasion—to draw up an address adapted to the change likely to take place. An address was then, we were informed, after some conversation amongst the members, agreed to, expres sive of the strong feelings they entertained upon the subject of her Majesty's indisposition, which they re joiced to hear was not at all of a serious nature, and containing the substance of the address intended to be presented to her Majesty. The court then adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TAT TERS ALL'S -YESTERDAY. Notwi►hstanding a considerable portion of the after noon was take❑ up in settling accounts for the last day's racing at Newmarket, several horses were backed for the Derby, the chief outlay being on Bolingbroke, at 10 and 11 to 1; and on Deicoon, at 25, 22 to 1. A very large amount was invested on the latter; it is rumoured that he has been said, but to whom did not transpire. The Italian, Sweetheart, and Voltigeur, were also in good forco. Steeplechase betting, if we may judge from the commencement, is not likely to bo so general as it was last season. Very few books have been opened as yet.

We live among a generation of readers and thinkers. The literary man is now a power. lie is no longer the hanger-on of a great man, nor kicks his heels, like Dr. Johnson, in the lobby of his " patron." Ile writes :for the people, in a time when the nation has grown reading. His sympathies are becoming every day more popular; and literature has come to be regarded as the great instrument of progress. The writers of books, and the editors of newspapers, are the great movers of the mind of the age; they are the corals %fah build up from the deep great continents of know ledge and civilization.. And here let us not forget to say a word for ourselves; for we too have our influence, humble though it be. To you - into the people's minds, week after we4k, instruction which is elevating, and thoughts which are ennobling; to stimulate the tens of thous suds of readers who havo already generously patronized our enterprise, to efforts at self-improvement, self advancement, and self-culture; to give a healthy direction to their activities, and supply them with a rational recreation in their leisure hours; this wa feel to be no mean task, no unworthy labour; and we shall live and work in the hope that, through our efforts, the people's tastes shall be still further improved and the world be made sti'l better.—Eliza wok's Journal. Sir George Grey arrived in town yesterday even ing from his seat, Fallodon, Northumberland. Paymaster and Purser—J. W. B.

THE MEDITERRANEAN We have correspondence from Malta to the 22d instant. On that morning the Rosamond steam sloop, Commander Foote, arrived at Malta with the families of Vice-Admiral! Sir William Parker, Bart, and of Captain Sir James Stirling, of the Howe, 120, for Corfu. The Rosamond was to return forth with to the fleet in Salamis Bay. The Thetis, 36, Captain Codrington, remained at Malta, prevented from sailing to join the fleet by contrary wind. The value of her great capabilities for stowage have now been fully tested, She has an immense quantity of stores and provisions for all the ships of the fleet. The Ardent steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander Nowell, arrived at Malta from Trieste on the 21st, and was to be ready for sea by the 23i, having been detained by Sir W. Parker from proceeding to England. All ships sailing to join the fleet are ordered to take shot and shell, and stores of all kinds. The Hastings, 72, Captain Morgan, flag of Rear- Admiral Sir F. Collier, C. 8., arrived at Singapore from Trincomalee, August 24, and was to sail on the 14th for Honk-Kong, if Sir Francis was well enough to proceed. The accounts of the state of the Gallant Admiral's health confirm those received by last mail. The North Star discovery store-ship, Master- Commander Saunders, was seen near the entrance of Lancaster Sound by the whale-ship Jane (Walker master) arrived at Stromness. The Meander, 44, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, arrived at Singapore from Labuan, and was to sail the second week in September for Port Essington, to withdraw the detachment from that settlement, and to demolish the works, and thence to proceed to New Zealand, and subsequently to Valparaiso and Eng land. She will be in England about the end of next year. The Daedalus, 20, Captain Wellesley, left Madeira, September 25, for the Pacific. The Dolphin, 3, brigantine, Lieutenant Com mander Boyle, has arrived at Sheerness to be paid off. The Stromboli, 6, steam-sloop, Captain Lord A. Beauclerk, arrived at Devonport, from Queenstown, with men for the Ganges, 84, on Sunday. The Spiteful, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Car michael, is ready for sailing, for the Mediterranean. Her Commander, who has lately got married, is daily expected to join. The Fury, 6, steam sloop, Commander Willcock, arrived at Singapore from Trincomalee, August 24, and was waiting to proceed with the flag-ship to Hong Kong. The Cookoo steam-vessel, Commander DumareFq, has arrived at Portsmouth, from Jersey, with troops. The Highflyer steam-vessel, which was ordered to be built at Woolwich, is now ordered to be built at Chatham. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Hecate steam sloop, one of the advanced squadron, will be commissioned here to-morrow by Commander Shadwell, for special service. The Firebrand steam-frigate, Captain T. 0. Knox, arrived this morning from the eastward, and came into harbour to coal. She embarks Marine Artillery for service in the Mediterranean squadron, and supernu meraries for the same. She will receive advance to morrow and sail for Plymouth. The new postal arrangements, whereby letters through London were delivered this morning instead of as heretofore, in the afternoon, were highly ap preciated by the reasonable portion of this community to-day. CHATIIANI, OCT. 29.—The Dolphin, 3-gun brigan tine, Lieut. Hon. C. Boyle, arrived at Sh eerness on Sunday evening, the 28th inst., from the west coast of Africa, to be paid off. She has a complem en t o f 65 men, including officers, on board. The Princess Royal transport, lying at Gravesend, receives on board on the 30th instant, from Tilbury Fort, 1 officer and 43 men of the 54th Foot (West Norfolk), the detachment having come from Guern sey, for embarkation. Besides these troops, Company Sergeant Major John Tucker, of the 3d West India Regiment, with his wife and two children, also em bark. The Princess Royal then sails for Sheerness, and receives there on board Captain Hugh T. Bowen, Lieutenant Arth, Wade, and Ensign Hon. H. W. Fitz Maurice and Ensign T. C. H. Best, with 2 ser geants, 2 drummers, and 100 rank and file, with 6 women and 6 children, of the 72d (Duke of Albany's Own Highlanders). The whole of these troops are for the West Indies. On the Ist of next month a detachment from this garrison, consisting of 1 captain, 2 subalterns, 6 set.. geants, 2 drummers, and 100 rank and file of the 17th Foot (the Royal Tigers), will embark for Sheerness, to do duty there, in place of the detachment of the 72d Foot, which embarks for foreign service. PRACTICE OF THE BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRITPTOY.—On Saturday considerable disap pointment was experienced in this court by a large num ber of professional gentlemen and others, in consequence of the non-attendance of Mr. Commissioner Daniell. At one o'clock it wr s announced by Mr. Ryland, on the part of the .1 assignees, that they had received a communication from the Learned Commissioner that he was unwell, and unable to attend the court that day. In order, however, if possible, to prevent any disappoint ment, they had forwarded a communication by telegraph to Mr. Commissioner Balguy, at Derby, apprizing him of the circumstance, and requesting him to come to Birmingham. If the learned gentleman was at home, ho would, in all probability, receive it in time to arrive in Birmingham at four o'clock. Mr. E. Wright said they could proceed with the business if one of the regis trars would take the bench. The officer of the court replied that the services of neither of these gentlemen could be had ; Mr. Wilson was in London, and the Hen. Mr. Cum m at Derby. The attorneys and their clients then left the court, and returned at four o'clock, when it was stated that an answer had been received from Mr. Commissioner Balguy, but of so ambiguous a character as to render it doulivul whether he could come to Birmingham that day. The answer received was " too late," but whether it meant for the mid-day train or fur that day, they could not tell. At five o'clock the court was lighted up, and ex pectations were entertained that the commissioner might possibly arrive by the six o'clock train, but he did not, and after keeping the court open till past seven, it was closed. We believe such an occurrence almost unpre cedented, and it is said that it will constitute a ground of complaint in higher quarters against some parties. There were several cases entered by adjournment for hearing, and what the legal consequences to parties may be is very doubtful. HOLBORN VOCAL CONCERTS.—We felt no smell degrea of gratification in listening to a concert given at the above hall (the fourth of a s_lies) on Wedne_,day last, and were also much pleased to find an appreciation on the part of the public; the audience being bo h nu merous and respectable. The programme o; erred with Webbe's glee, "The Mighty Conqueror," which was rapidly: succeeded by songs, duets, madrigals, &c.; amongst which we may enumerate the madrigals " What ho!' Beale; " Merrily wake music's measure," Barnett; and "Down in a flowery vale," Festa; The English man," well sung by Mr. C. Field; " 11 , )bert, t.)i qui aime," from Robert the Devil, rendered in extremely artistic style by Mrs. Temple; as was also the beautiful ballad, from Aliwicana, " Scenes that are brightest," the encore in the latter being of the most worm and cor dial description. This lady also sung in two duets, " Dunque io son," with Mr. Frost; and Barnett's " Sol fa," with Mr. Temple, the latter receiving a deserved en:ore. We may also mention the gl.2es, "The gipsey's tent," T. Cook; and " Here in cool grot," Lord Mor nington; both of which were given with great precision and effect. HISTORICAL COINCIDENCES.—The Observateur Beige shows that since the year 1789 all the revolutions in France have been effect( d under Popes bearing the name of Pius. Louis XVL was dethroned and decapi tated under Pius VI., the Directory was overthrown under Pius VI.; Napoleon fell under Pius VII.; Charles X. was dethroned and driven into hopeless exile under Pius VIII.; and, finally, Louis Philippe L was deposed and banished under Pius IX. Some may suppose that the world will come to an end under Pius X . """Major- General Wemyss, C. 8., inspected the reserve companies of the 38th Regiment, under Captain Adam eon, at Castlebar on the 20th instant, and expressed Lis high approbation of the good order in which he found them. In the evening the Major-General dined with Captain Adamson and the officers, by whom a party of the staff, &c., had been invited to meet him. LITERARY MATTER of INFORMATION and AMITh'EMENT. The First Volume of ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL is now com pleted, and the Proprietor takes this opportunity of expressing her sense of Iha honourable and coveted position which a generous Public has placed her in. Many difficulties beset the path_ of a young Journalist which a little experience removes, and most earnest thanks are proffered for the kind indulgence bestowed on the errors which have occasionally marked the Editorial and Practical Departmeats. The best proof of the Editor's feeling will be found in her endeavours to render the Journal far more worthy of the flattering' patronage it receives, and without any fallacious boast, she can promise ,her readers a future supply of sound and valuable matter. The most gratifying circumstance attending the extensive circula tion and cordial reception of the Journal has been in proving that a large reading public can be found for a cheap Serial who do not require unhealthy excitement and mere ephemeral entertainment to gain their attention. Right glad has the Editor been to see that her plain and simple wish to elevate the morals and Invigorate the mind, leas been graciously received; for, though amusement is one of the chief essentials, not only of periodical literature, but of our whole lives, it should ever be blended with a principle and purpose tending to advance humanity. From the cheering encouragement already received, the Editor trusts fully to her friends for the future, and has equal pride and pleasure in presenting her First Volume as a Journalist to those whose generous perceptions stamped her first attempt as a Poet.

The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving caa secure through this Society. I. BENEFITS 11.
