The plot i 3 simple. .Nudige Der vine (Miss Woolgar) ; is engaf...e d to be married to Captain de Porigras (Mr. Boyce), a puppy, whom she naturally abhors, as having carrotty locks and wearing stays. There exists, moreover, a secret at tachment between her and Lieutenant Louis (Mr. Hughes), and by the address of Trim (Madame Ce leste), an insult offered by the Lieutenant to his supe rior officer, and likely to be attended with deplorable results, is converted into the means of causing the lovers to be united, with the sanction of the bride's father, Colonel Dorville (Mr. Lambert). Trim, a foundling, and protege of Lieutenant Louis, finds himself in the end the brother of Ned;ge, with a certainty of gaining his epaulettes. This role was admirably enacted by Celeste, who looked the beau ideal of a young French soldier of the Woolgar bad to sustain a somewhat less prominent part, but it is needless to say that her performance was animated and graceful, and we have never seen this flower of the Adelphi company look more charming than in the highly becoming dress which she wore in the second act. 'fake her for all in all, we decidedly regard her as being the most accomplished, lady-like, and fascinating actress on the London boards. Mrs. F. Matthews, as Mademoiselle Lodoiski Pompeux, a milliner, and Bedford, as an immense drum-major, afforded considerable amusement. Paul, the vast, presented a figure worthy of all admiration, adorned with a bearskin cap, three feet and a half high, and an eighteen inch feather stuck therein, and wielding a gigantic baton. A pretty lively song which he gave with excellent effect, made a great hit, and was hearti ly encored. The other performers acquitted them selves with unexceptionable credit. On the fall of the curtain the applause was loud and general, and the announcement by Madame Celeste of the repeti tion of the piece until further notice was hailed with the warm and reiterated plaudits of a crowded house. SURREY THEATRE. It is cheering to find that the cause of the legiti mate drama is making way in all directions ; that which Mr. Phelps has done at Sadler's Wells, and which Mr. Watts has done at the Marylebone, Messrs. Shepherd and Creswick have done at the Surrey; and, we arc happy to say, that hitherto success has crowned their exertions. Messrs. Shepherd and Creswick have secured the services of an excellent tragedy company, and since the commencement of the season the tragedies of Shakspere, of Bulwer, and of Sheridan Knowles have been performed in a manner that would not have been unworthy of the patent theatres in the palmy days of the drama. But Messrs. Shepherd and Creswick are not content with mere revivals of stock pieces ; they have made this theatre a home not only for the actor, but for the author also, and last night they produced a new play, in three acts, entitl e d T revan i on; or t h e F a l se Posi tion, which met with the most marked and deserved success. It is the joint production of Westland Marston and Bayle Bernard, who will, we hope, for the future, continue to work together, and be the Beaumont and Fletcher of the modern drama; for certes this joint production is as an acting play more perfect than any single production of either of them. Mr. Marston has in this play carried out the theory which he developed in the preface to The Patrician's Daughter, viz., that the social state of the nineteenth century furnishes as rich materials for tragic effect as did t h e social state of any of the preceding centuries. Trevanion may be considered as the converse of The Patrician's Daughter. Whilst in the latter play the tragic interest turns upon the consequences of the loves of a low born adventurer and a patrician's daugh ter, in Trevanion the interest turns upon the loves of a high- born youth and the daughter of a plebeian. Thus runs the plot :—Margaret Langford (Madame Ponisi), the daughter of Michael Langford (Mr. Emery), a ship carpenter, is a 'girl of excellent education and great talents. Lady Evesham, to whom she has addressed some verses, struck by her talent and goodness, for she is one of the gentlest of God's creatures, takes her abroad as a companion and friend. Lady Evesham dies while staying with a German Baroness, who also takes Margaret under her protection, and while with her she meets with a Mrs. Lorimer (Mrs. H. Vining), who, struck by the likeness of Margaret to her own daughter, whom she has recently lost, at once adopts her. With Mrs. Lorimer she travels through Switzerland, and while there meets with Trevanion (Mr. Creswick), a young Englishman of birth and fortune. Thus thrown together it is natural that they should fall in love ; and when Mrs. Lorimer and Margaret remove to Paris Trevanion follows them, and pro poses for Margaret. Margaret had been considered by the German baroness as a relation of the Lady Evesham, and although it was con-, sidered that her parents had experienced reverses, yet it was always imagined that Margaret had patrician blood in her veins, and therefore on the score of birth there could be no objection to her being admitted into society. Margaret had given her countenance to this falsehood by not contradicting it, and it is not until she finds herself on the brink of marriage with the man she adores, and who also believes this falsehood, that she becomes aware of the agony which is in store for her. She reasons with herself—she determines to let Trevanion, to let Mrs. Lorimer know the truth, but love overcomes conscience, and she becomes the wife of Trevanion without undeceiving him. On the arrival of the newly married couple in London, she makes a confidant of Mrs. Lorimer, and is about to explain all to her husband, when he is suddenly called away, and her father enters the room. She knows not how to greet the old ship-carpenter ; she begs him to return, but the warm-hearted old m an , perce i v i ng hi s d aug ht e r is ashamed of him, gives vent to his grief and rage, and is about to leave the room when Trevanion enters, an eclair cissement takes place, and 'Trevanion learns that a letter written b y old Langford, ire reply to one an nouncing the approaching marriage, had been inter cepted by Mar ga ret. The old man withdraws, and Trevani on rema i ns b owe d down with grief. Mar garet beseeches his forgiveness, and exposes the temp tation to which she was subjected, and declares how often she had determined to tell him of her humble birth. He replies— " It is your falsehood stabs me, not your birth. The priceless gem discovered in the dust Gives glory to a crown ; the counterfeit Though snatched from thence is w orthless." Her falsehood has severed them for ever, but he adds : " The world shall never know the pasr; We shall walk hand in hand before the crowd ; Your place will still be at my board and hearth. Margaret, in the agony-of despair, flies from her hus band's roof to take refuge in her father's humble abode. That father would spurn her from his thres hold, but her mother receives her, and at length the father, too, relents. In the neighbourhood of Langford's abode are some mines which Trevanion bad purchased ; the speculation turns out a bad one. y the br e aki ng o f a bank Trevanion is ruined, and the mines are given up, large arrears of wages being due to the miners. Trevanion goes down to the locality, and is threateud with destruction by the unruly mob. Suddenly they are dispersed, and .Trevanion hears with astonishment that his debts are paid and his honour saved, and by whom ? By whom but by his wife, who accepts in the days of his adversity that which she had always refused for her self, a handsome provision from Mrs. Lorimer, and devotes it to saving her husband. We need not add that all ends happily. The character of Margaret was acted with the most exquisite pathos by Madame Ponisi, and Trevanion is by far the best thing that Mr. Creswick has yet done. There is a low comedy part of Vex, a village o r a cle, admir a bly act e d by Mr. H. Width combo. The applause was enthusiastic ; at the conclusion all the principal artistes were called on, and the authors were called. The piece was announced for repetition amidst the most enthusiastic applause of a crowded house. It would be an act of injustice to close this notice without expressing our admiration of the acting of F. Emery as Langford. It was equal to the best acting of his father in his best days. The commercial advicea by the America, from - New York, continuo satisfactory. The fall trade was draw ing to a close, and on the whole it had been most pros perous. The prospects for the spring were also favour able. Stocks were flat, but without alteration, and exchange was 110 to 110 k. There had been no mitiga- Ilea of the apprehensions regarding the cotton crop. From California the news is a fortnight later.

ALARMING FlRE.—Last night (Monday), a fire attended with considerable loss of property, broke out In the premises belonging to Mr. lluxtable, a tailor, situate at No. 48, Samtbrd-street, Waterloo-road, Lam beth. Owing to the absence of all parties connected with the property, it was impossible to learn anything r especting the cause of the outbreak, nor whether the sufferer was insured. A clever servant is almost invariably quick-tern- P or ed. The reason is obvious; superior talent is gene rally accompanied by pride, which must meet with many Petty annoyances in the menial state.—Eliza cook's Journal. Without the theme of love to employ his pen the occupation of the novelist would be gene ; at least ,o we may reasonably surmise from the prevalence of this attractive topic in works of fiction. We cannot glance over the slightest fatilleton sketch, or open the pages of the most imposing many. tome d novel without meeting with a continuation of the never-ending cata logue of the hopes and fears, the pains, pleasures, and perplexities of the multifarious master passion. Doubtless this subject finds so many writers, because it naturally interests the multitude of readers, and, even while we condemn the exaggerated and unreal ideas of life which many of these fictitious love•stories impress upon youthful minds, let us not be ungrateful fur the good services rendered by this species of lite rature. This fascinating branch of fiction, appealing, r.s it does, to some of the noblest and holiest impulses of human nature, and setting before us, as it does, in a most attractive guise, the sublime charities of social life, sympathy, long, suffering, forbearance, devotion the most pure, self-abnegation the most entire, and innumerable other virtues, which together constitute the one glorious unit—love—this branch of fiction, with all its faults, exercises a healthful influence over the public mind. As the institutions of chivalry were to a barbaric age, as the lore of fairy-land is to the dawning intelligence of childhood, so is romantic literature to the daily denizens of a selfish world. It reveals to us a glimpse of ideal ex cellence, and tends to elevate us from what we are to what we should be. If this be the high mission of the fiction writer, what theme can be better adapted to his purpose than that love which has been, appa rently, expressly ordained to purify, to polish, and to perfect , human nature. However differently some novelists may represent it, such is, and ever has been, the true nature and property of love;' and so those writers who have rightly considered it have concurred in describing it. Thus Emerson writes in his admirable " Essay on Love"--" At last they discover that all which at first drew them to• gether—those once sacred features, that magical play of charms—was deciduous, had a prospective end, like the scaffolding by which the house was built ; and the purification of the intellect and the heart, from year to year, is the real marriage, foreseen and prepared from the first, and wholly above their con sciousness." Of a similar spirit, but more beautifully expressed, is Tennyson's definition of the beneficial influence of love in the mutual improvement of man and woman, each becoming imbued with the good qualities of the other— "More as the double-natured poet, each: Till at the last she set herself to man, Like perfect music unto noble words." And in the same spirit, again, Longfellow has ex claimed— " Speak not of wasted affection : affectionnever was wasted." So indeed the majority of love stories teach us. Un requited, or otherwise unhappy and apparently most profitless, affection is there shown to be frequently the most efficacious in fulfilling its mission, namely, the amelioration of the heart in which it exists. Such, however, is not the cha racter of the love which holds a conspicuous place in the novel now under our consideration. Although " The Ogilvies" contains many other necessary elements of a good novel, such as various and well-sketched characters, an animated and agreeable style, and an interesting arrangement of incidents, &c., it is so essentially a love story, that in that peculiar phase we are disposed more especially to regard it. It portrays the reverse of the picture to which we have been alluding. It does not exhibit the happy influence of all true love, even when its course runs the least smooth, but it enforces with powerful efficacy the fatal influences of excessive, ungoverned, and not unselfish passion. The chief interest and effect of the narrative—and an enthralling interest and a most powerful effect they are—are con centrated upon one point, namely, the successive influences of passion, disappointment, and despair upon a young, undisciplined, and most impetuous heart. The narrative is invaluable for the warning lesson which it holds furth to many, for, in the earlier stages of her history, Katharine Ogilvie is the type of thousands. At the commencement of the first vohinie we find her, a young girl of sixteen, endowed with great, but as yet undeveloped capacities of heart and intellect. Although brought up in the bosom of her family she is unacquainted with that sweet companion ship which is irrespective of ties of blood, and wholly dependent on sympathy. In this isolated position she unconsciously yearns to pour out the pent-up treasure of her affection. Who Mr. Paul Lynedon is ; how in a fond delusion she believes him to be a realisation of her ideal; how she elevates him into an object of almost idolatrous worship, and how, moreover, from many misapprehended incidents, she entertains the mistaken impression that she is the object of his regard, we leave the reader to discover in the pages of " The Ogilvies." So far the character and conduct of Katharine is described with a most ex quisite simplicity and naturalness. W'e do not wish to reveal all the mysteries of the plot, yet we cannot indicate as we would desire, the nature of the work and the terrible lesson it teaches of the ill. effects of ungoverned passions, without following the narrative a little further. Katharine's bright delusion exists during three years, which Paul Lynedon passes abroad, and during hich she is gradually transformed from a child to a woman. All this time her idolatrous passion, so madly conceived, and so blindly indulged in, grows with her growth. Her one thought has been to make herself worthy, as far as outward perfections go, of her absent lover. She is ardently looking forward to his return, when one light breath destroys the complicated fabric, ore touch bursts the bubble of her illusion. She hears that Paul Lynedon is to be united to another. The sudden transformation of the gentle, loving girl, the affectionate daughter, and amiable companion, into a stern, imperious, and unloving woman is absolutely startling. After hear ing the terrible news Katharine retires to her chamber, and her conflicting emotions are thus de. scribed : " 0 ye cold clear winter stars, look down pityingly on that solitary chamber where was poured out the anguish of first passionate love! Erring it might be—hopeless, visionary, even unmaidenly—but it was pure, nursed in solitude, and hidden from all human eyes. With strength such as woman only knows, Katharine for hours had sung, talked, and sat in silence; but when she was alone the terrible cry of her despair burst forth. " It was indeed despair; not pining, girlish, sorrow. She neither fainted nor wept; but she crouched on the floor, swaying to and fro, her small hands,tightly clenched, her whole frame convulsed with a choking agony. " 0 Godl-0 God I—let me die!' —rose up the al most impious cry of the stricken heart that in happiness had rarely known either thanksgiving or prayer— while moan after moan broke the night stillness. She breathed no word—not even his name. AU that she felt then was a longing for silence—darkness—death. " But this stupor did not last. Her burning, tearless eyes, wandering round the room, fell first on the flowers she wore—his favourites—then on a book he had given her—alasl her whole daily life was full of mementos of him. At once the flood of anguish burst forth unre strained. " Oh, Paul, Paul, must I think of you no more?—is the old time gone for ever? A lire without you, a future wherein the past must be forgotten—all is darkness— darkness! 0 God, that I could die!' " And then, like a lightning.flash, came the thought, that even that old time over which she mourned had been only a self-beguiling dream. He had never loved her, not even then; but he had made her believe so. That moment a new storm of passion arose in her heart. “ Ire deceived me; he deceived me even then! lin my madness have given him all—life, hope, youth; and he has given me—nothing! Paull Paul Lynedon!' (acd rising up she stood erect—pride, indignation, scorn, on eye, lip, and lofty stature), how dared you utter your false words to me when another was in your heart! How dared you call me "dear Katharine,” when you loved not me, but her? And now you will go and jest with her over the p, or foolish girl who trembled and blushed in your sight, who had given you her whole heart's love, and would have died for yours!' " Katharine paced the ehamber, her step quick and wrathful, her face burning with shame. Then she stopped before the mirror, and surveyed herself from head to foot, regarding intently the beauty in which she had so gloried for his sake. '• ' He shall never say that I pined for him in unre quited love—l, Katharine Ogilvie, whom the world calls Lair, who might have been admired, loved—aye, wor shipped. But I gave all up for him.' And her memory pictured the face of Hugh, as when ho last bade her good-bye, pale, sad, with tears in the kind eyes that had watched over her for so many years. His love, if rude, was deep and sincere, and hardly merited a rejection so cold and scornful as she had lately given. Then in her heart dawned a purpose, sprung from the passion which fur the time had almost changed to hate, and now warped every feeling of her impulsive nature. It was a purpose from a hich every woman who loves with a calm, pure love, however hopeless, would turn shuddering aside, feeling how great was the sin. " You shall never triumph over me,--you, Paul, and that wife of yours! Sou shall never laugh together at the girl who broke her heart for love. Nu; I will live— live to make the world know, and you know, what I am! Yes, )ou shall hear of me—my beauty, and my talents!' And a strange bitter laugh of selt•derision broke from those white lips, over which, a few hours before, had dimpled the sweet, happy girlish smile. But that never came again —no, never more. Terrible, indeed, is this sad picture of ungoverned passion. Strong in her resolution, Katharine gives her hand to her good-hearted cousin llugh, whose life is thenceforth embittered by her imperious cold nets and tyrannical domination. Paul Lynedon returns unmarried, and his fickle heart is at last cap tivated by the now magnificent Katharine. But to him also the revengeful woman is now cold and im perious in her demeanour. We will not reveal the story further. The catastrophe is a fitting conclusion to the lesson it conveys. The character of Katharine is powerfully drawn, perhaps a little over drawn in some instances. Paul Lynedon also is a well described example of great talents squandered for mean pur poses. The story of Philip Wychnor And Eleanor Ogilvie we will leave with its interest undiminished. Tile %vc:ll.reguiated, but not less intenFe, affc-ction of Eleanor contrasts vividly Nvith the pt:ssion of Katha rine. The latter, indeed, scarcely deserved the name of love, for true love so entirely annihilates self that it would render a transformation like that of Katha rine impossible. Eleanor's trials are of a different nature, and in allusion to them we find the following thoughtful passage : " How sore ,a strait for one so young! Her heart was almost rent in twain. It was the old contest, old as the world itself—the strife between duty and love. "Most writers on this subject are, we think, some what in the wrong. They never consider that love is duty—a most solemn cud holy duty ! Ho who, loving and being beloved, takes upon himself this second life, this glad burden of another's happiness, has no right to sacrifice it for any other human tie. It is the fashion to extol the self-devotion of the girl who, for parental caprice, or to work out the happiness of some lovelorn sister, gives up the chosen of her heart, whose heart's chosen she knows herself to be. And the man who, rather than make a loving woman a little poorer in worldly wealth—but oh, how rich in affection!—proudly conceals his love in his own breast, and will not utter it —he is deemed a self-denying hero! Is this right? " You writers of mural fiction, who exalt to the skies sacrifices such as these, what would you say if for any cause under heaven a wife gave up a husband, or a hus band a wife, each dooming the other to suffering worse than death? And is the tie between two hearts knitted together by mutual love less strong, has sacred, before the altar-vow than after it? Is not the breaking of such bond a sin, even though no consecrated ordinance has rendered the actual perjury visible guilt? " When will you, who with the world-wide truths of the ideal show forth what is noblest in humanity, boldly put forward this law of a morality, higher and more wholesome than all your tales of sacrifices in filial and paternal shrines—that no power on earth should stand between two beings who worthily, holily, and faithfully love one another." We have dwelt so long upon " The Ogilvies" as a love-story, that we can bestow but a brief mention upon the literary struggles of Philip Wychnor and the group of various literati by whom he is surrounded. The sad life and tranquil death of the overtasked Leigh, the devotion of his mother, and many other interesting points, we likewise pass over with less consideration than they merit. The interest attached to the extraordinary heart-history of the most unhappy Katharine throws the rest of the story into comparative shade. We very conscientiously commend " The Ogilvies" to general perusal. The lesson it inculcates is worthy of deep attention. Tne sunshine of love may diffuse happiness over human life, but ungoverned passion is only productive of the death and desolation of the desert. Such is the moral of " The Ogilvies." COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, MONDAY. The Queen and Prince Albert walked this morn ing in the Slopes. The Royal Family took their usual airings. His Royal Highness Prince Albert went out shoot ing this forenoon. His Royal IlighneEs was attended by Lord Waterpark, Lieut.-Colonel the Hon, A. N. Hood, and Lieut.-Colonel F. H. Seymour. Lord and Lady John Russell, and the Hon. Ralph and Lady Mary Abercromby, are expected to arrive at the Castle to-day, and will have the honour of joining the Royal party at dinner this evening. Lord and Lady John Russell left Pembroke Lodge yesterday afternoon, on a visit to her Majesty, at Windsor Castle. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of the North American Colonies. HEALTH•of the QUEEN DOWAGER. (From the Court Circular.) Her Majesty the Queen Dowager passed a bad night on Sunday. Her Majesty continues seriously ill, but was decidedly not worse yesterday. Dr. Bright left the Priory yesterday for town, Sir David Davies remaining in attendance on her Majesty. SPANISH AMERICAN BOND HOLDERS.

THE PROPERTY OF THE MANNINGS.-Yesterday a writ was issued from the Court of Queen's Bench, in the suit of " Thomas Binns against G. F. Manning," the object being to get possession of the property now in the hands of the police, taken from the railway stations. Judgment, by consent, was immediately afterwards taken from Manning, in Newgate; and the judgment being entered up, a writ offieri facias, addressed to the Sheriff of Surrey, was at an early hour yesterday afternoon lodged with the Under-Sheriff s , Messrs. Abbot, of N ew Inn. At about six o'clock MrSeale ' one of the sheriff's officers, proceeded to the Southwark police-attaion, and effected a levy upon all the goods and chattels belonging to the Mannings, except those required for the purposes of the prosecution. At eight o'clock the same officer proceeded to Mr. Bainbridge's, of Bermondsey-square, and made a seizure of all the effects not actually pur chased by Mr. Bainbridge of the Mannings previous to their :departure. ; A writ was issued for Middlesex this morning, and a similar proces s w ill b e a d opte d w ith respect to the property in the hands of the Commissioners of Police. The property so seized, and to be seized, consists of two gold watches, a considerable quantity of jewels, linen, plate, and other valuable effects.

GLASGOW. —MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. — On Thurs day afternoon an accident occurred at the London Foundry Woi ks, Renfrew, which caused a fatal result. A. portion of the woi kmen were employed in elevating a casting of great weight, and had raised it to a consi derable height, when the chain to which it was attached suddenly gave way, and the immense mass fell upon one of the persons around, named Archibald I)) kes. Ihe poor man was of course crushed to the earth beneath it, and received injuries from which it was impossible he could recover. He survived for about three hours in extreme agony. By this deplorable event his wife and three children have been deprived of their stay and pro tection. The unfortunate man was a native of Renfrew. MR. WILLIAMS, AND THE CONSTITUENCY OF MACCLESFIELD.—On Thursday evening Mr. John Wil liams met the electors of Macclesfield in the Town. hull, and gave a full account of his past services in the House of Commons. Mr. Williams was listened to with great attention, and was frequently applauded throughout his speech, which lasted about an hour and a quarter. A vote of confidence and thanks was given to him. Conscience is the beat friend we have ; with it we may bid defiance to man; without it all the friends in the world can be of no use to us.—,Eliza Cook's Awns& NEWAIARKET, MONDAY EVENING, FIvE O'CLocK.— Our anticipations with rt gard w the proposed slakes and plates have been so far borne out, that each of the five ilia_ closed last night produced a race; the nominations for some, it must be admitted, were not very imposing. owing in some measure, no doubt, to the number of hoi ses amiss, but chiefly- to the Club having offered metal more attractive in the shape of 501. and 100/. plates; for them the entries will be immense. The racing today, as regarded quantity, left nothing to complain of, its chief, in fact its only, " feature," was the Criterion Stakes, for which Pitsford (on the strength of a favourable trial on Saturday) and The Nigger were supported with great spirit by their respective parties, The race, it will be seen, proved that there was no mis take in Pitsford's running in the Prendergast, and, we imagine, must have satisfied his admirers that his chance fur the Derby is quite gone. There was a large attend ance upon the heath, and the wewher was very favour able; the course was in very good order. Handicap Plate of 501. for three yrs old and upwards. Cambridgeshire Course.

A severe gale ;rom N.E. commenced on Saturday evening, and gaged pith great fury during the whole of the night and throughout the day on Sunday. Sad, indeed, is the devastation which the gale has wrought upon the coast, and our worst fears are more than realised in the heartrending accounts which we are called upon to chronicle below, and yet we fear that all has not yet been told. Below we give the particu lars, so far as we have learned them. The British brig St. John, Captain Oliver, from Galway, Ireland, anchored inside Minot's Ridge about six A.M. on Sunday, dragged her anchors and struck on the Grampus rocks about nine A.M. The captain, officers, and crew (with the exception of the first mate) took to the boat, and landed safe at the Glades. The passengers who were saved got on pieces of the wreck and landed near Whitehead, north end of Cohasset harbour. The number of passengers on board was about 164, out of which about 145 are supposed to have been lost. There were 14 cabin passengers, mostly women and children. Another account states that the captain took the jolly-boat, which soon swamped, and he swam to the long boat, and was saved with ten others. The second mate, two men, and two boys were lost. The remainder of the crew were saved. Captain Beals, of the steamer Mayflower, gives us the following particulars. He understood that the brig struck on the rocks known as the Sea Ledges, a little to the west of Minot's ledge light, about one mile from the shore, and immediately went to pieces. There appeared to be different statements in relation to the number of passengers on board. The captain says there were but 114, while the passengers who were saved say there were 150. Of those saved and arrived at Cohasset, ten in number, seven were females and three males. Six of them were provided with quarters at the house of Captain Abraham H. Tower, and the other four at Mr. Lathrop's. All of these came ashore on pieces of the wreck. Two of the women, it is thought, will not survive, one being badly cut on the head by a piece of the wreck. The other woman, it is said, has a husband residing in this city. She had three children on board with her, all of whom were lost. Another gentleman, from Cohasset, in forms us that the brig first went ashore about half-past six o'clock yesterday morning, and shortly after her masts were cut away to ease her. The captain and ten of the crew then took to the long' boat, and landed safely near the Glades. Previous to this, however, one of the mates, with two of the crew and several of the passengers, attempted to leave the brig in the small boat, but she swamped alongside, and all were lost. The brig soon drifted on to the Grampus rocks, and almost immediately went to pieces, strewing the beach with fragments The life-boat was manned, and every exertion made to save those floating in the surf on the pieces of wreck. Only ten, however, were saved, as stated above. Between 20 and 25 of the bodies of those lost had been recovered this morning when our informant left the spot. Preparations were making by the coroner to have them decently interred. As near as we can ascertain among the many conflicting stories there were 21 saved in all-10 passengers and the captain and 10 of the clew, who came ashore in the long•boat. The number lost it is impossible to ascertain. According to the captain's story there werel2o on board, including the crew. If this is true there were 99 lost. The passengers who were saved maintain, however, that there were 150 pas sengers on board, which, if true, would swell the number of lost to 143! The captain and one of the mates, we are informed, arrived in the city from Cohasset in the noon train to-day. The following 'statement is from Captain Oliver himself : " Saturday, 5 P.M. passed Cape Cod with a light S.E. wind; weather thick ; hove to with head to the N.E.: at four A.M. wore ship and stood south; at half past six made Minot's-ledge. Not having room to wear ship ventured to run where we saw a brig at anchor, inside of the light. The violence of the gale and heavy sea caused us to drag our anchors, when we cut a way the masts, and held on for a short time. The gale increasing, she dragged again, struck and thumped heavily for about one hour before she broke up. Previous to breaking up the jolly-boat was hanging by the tackles alongside, when the stern ringbolt broke, and the boat fell into the water. The captain, second mate, and two boys jumped into her to clear her, when about 25 passengers jumped in and swamped fur. The passengers, together with the second mate and two boys, perished. The captain caught a rope hanging over the quarter, and was drawn on board by the first mate. The long-boat was got clear shortly after, and a heavy sea coming on board cleared her from the vessel when a number of passengers jumped over to swim to her, but all perished. The captain, first mate (Mr. Cummerford), eight of the crew, and two passengers swam to the boat, and reached the shore in safety. The others, seven men and eight women, came ashore on part of the deck. Total loss of life, 99 ; saved, 21. 25 bodies have washed ashore this morning." TflE LONDON MERCHANTS' AND TRADERS' .ASSOCIATION. The anniversary of this association, established for the protection of trade and the prosecution of swindlers, I was held yesterday evening at the London Tavern, the Right lion. the Lord Mayor in the chair. The company was more respectable than numerous. • About sixty gentlemen sat down to partake cf all the good things of the season, and the whole proceedings of the evening partook rather of the spirit of congra tulation at triumph accomplished than of hope and expectation of success to supervene hereafter. After the ordinary toasts were disposed of, The LORD MAYOR, in giving the toast of the evening, " Success to the London Merchants and Traders' Association," said that in retiring from the office of president of the association, he wished to explain that his only motive for doing so was that his relations with the city of London had become altered, and that however anxious he might be to promote such societies as the one he was then addressing, he felt that he could not be so free as he could wish to be in future elections for the City. He approved of the objects of the society, and had been happy in being its president ; but in retiring from the office, he could assure them that he felt the great importance of the object they had in view, and sincerely hoped that the society would progress as it had hitherto done. When it was first established it could only number some fifty or sixty members ; but they rapidly increased to upwards of 100, and now when he was about to take his farewell of the corporation he believed the number of the members enrolled exceeded DOO in number.—(Cheers.) Subsequently the LORD MAYOR proceeded to say he was compelled, by a message from Windsor Castle to leave the meeting; and asked the company to allow Mr. M'Gregor, M.P. for Glasgow, to preside in his room. A vote of thanks was passed tolls Lordship after he withdrew, amidst very general cheering, and Mr. M‘Gregor took the chair. Mr. Walker, one of the vice-presidents, Mr. Goddard, the solicitor to the association, and Mr. T. S. Morgan, the secretary, subsequently addressed the meEting in furtherance of its objects; and its conviviality was kept up until a late hour. The public will regret to learn that the old firm of Messrs. Charles Henry and George Enderby, for many years connected with the whaling trade, and lately en gag,d on a large scale as rope-manufacturers at Green wich, have announced themselves as unable to meet their engagements. The general liabilities of the house are extremely small, but it is feared that ‘strious mem bers of the family will in the aggregate suffer severely. The senior partner, Mr. Charles Enderby, was distin guished by his success in establishing the Southern hale•fishery Company, with the view of reviving that branch of British enterprise, and it was only ou the 17th of August last that he sailed for the Auckland Islands (which had been ceded to his firm in acknowledgment of their contributions to geographical discovery) to act as Lieutenant-Governor, and also as commissioner for the new company. Previously to his departure the works at Greenwich had been disposed of, and the sub sequent business of the house was limited to that of merchants, dealing chiefly in Australian wool. It has hardly necessary to add that the difficulties of the firm have not in any way been caused by their connexion with the Southern Whale-fishery Company, and which, in fact, was not of a nature to lead to anything else than their advantage.—Morning Paper. MARINE SOCIETY.—The quarterly court of the governors of the corporation of the Mai tae Society was held yesterday at their offices, Bishopsgate-street. Vice- Admiral Sir Charles Malcolm occupied the chair ; and among other 'members of the court present were— Admiral Bowles, C. 8., M.P., Lieut.-General Sir James Law Lushington, G.C.8., Captain Miller, Captain Shep herd, Lieutenant-Colonel Astell, Captain Nairne, and Captain Clarke. The secretary read a statement of the receipts and expenses for the past quarter, from which it appeared that the finances of the society are at pre sent in a very satisfactory condition. A report as to the boys that have been received and apprenticed under the regulations of the society during the quarter was then laid before the court. Having gone through the ordi nary routine business on such occasions, the court after wards proceeded to consider a special report made by the committee of management on the revised bye-laws end rogulations, which with a few amendments were ap proved of and adopted. A vote of thanks to the chair- , man, acknowledging his forward zeal in promoting the interests of the society, closed the business of the meetirg. We believe a very general feeling prevails in the City that the suggestion for a holiday on TuvsdaY , the 30th, the day of the Royal visit, should be adopted. ft is not alone that the desirableness of an occasiona l relief to the monotonous employment of the numerous body of clerks and others is recognised, but i t is also felt that the danger and inconvenience of att. mpting to carry on business operations and their ordinary money payments in the midst of the excitement attendant upon s u c h an event, should, as far as possible, be avoided. It will be remembered that upon the Queen's visit at th e o p en i ng of the Royal Exchange all business was suspended. ENGLAND AND WALES.

Soon after three o'clock on Wednesday morning a fire was discovered in a house of ill fame, in Little Lever street, Stevenson-square, kept by a man named Thomas Hill. After the flames were extinguished, the remains of a woman were found almost burned to a cinder, and on being removed they were recognized as those of Mrs. Hill. Yesterday afternoon Mr. E. Ilerford, borough coroner, held an inquest at the Royal Infirmary, previously viewing the remains of the wretched woman, as they lay upon a btd in tl.e house in Little Lever-street. From the evidence of several witnesses, it appears that on Monday night both Hill and his wife were intoxicated, Hill himself confessing that he remembered nothing from about seven or eight o'clock, until he was roused by the cry of " fire," at three the next morning. About twelve o'clock Mrs. Hill, although then in a decided state of intoxication, was seen to drink three or four small tumblers of gin. About half-past one, her husband being then in bed, although not in the room in which he usually slept, the deceased opened the front door, and admitted two persons into the house, and at this time she was almost helpless from the effects of the liquor. She went upstairs, but whether she at once entered her bedroom, or again went down into the kitchen, is not known; but it seems most probable that she must have remained down stairs until about three o'clock, and then endeavoured to find her way to bed. About this time one of the witnesses heard a scream, which she believed to have been uttered by the deceased ; but as the witness thought it was in consequence of Hill beating her, she took no notice of it. Almost immediately after, however, the smell of fire was perceived, and within ten minutes of this time the deceased was found as we have stated. It would appear, therefore, that the deceased must have entered her bedroom, and the room being very small and the bed just opposite the door, she must on entering it have set fire to her dress, or perhaps first to the bed curtains, when she rushed out and fell in the corner of the landing (which, from its peculiar construction, she would very probably do in her attempts to reach the stairs); she was no doubt incapable of moving from the effects of intoxication and fright, and hence her horrid death. The husband of the deceased was drunk, and almost incapable of answering a question when he was giving his evidence at the inquest. He stated that he was insured to the amount of 3001., but in what office he was too insensible to tell. The jury returned a ver dict to the effect that the deceased had died from burns accidentally received while she was in a state of intoxication. The Coroner severely reprimanded Hill, and also warned the female witnesses as to the certain results of the course of intemperance they were pursuing.—Manchester Guardian. THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT CHELSEA.—(Froth a Correspondent.)—Yesterday the body of Mr. M•Guire, or Al‘Guaran, who so mysteriously disappeared from No. 5, White Lion-street, Chelsea,-on the 26th ult., whom the man M'llonald and his wife are charged with mur dering and robbing, was picked up in the Thames ofl Erith, and conveyed to the dead house of that place, to wait the coroner's inquiry. DREADFUL FIRE AT HOXTON AND SUPPOSED Less OF LlFE.—This morning (Tuesday), shortly after one o'clock, a terrific fire broke out in the premises be longing to Mr. Nelson, a hat manufacturer, No. 140, Iloxtun Old -town, immediately opposite the Queen's Head Tavern. The premises were of consioerable extent, and at the time of the disaster being discovered the whole of the inhabitants were in their beds asleep. An instant alarm having been given, the numerous par ties were aroused from their slumbers, but so fearful had been the progress of the flames in the interim that none of the residents were able to effect an escape by the regular means, and as a last expedient they were com pelled to get out of the back windows and drop into the ard. Mr. Nelson and his family, it is understood, suc ceeded in saving their lives in this manner, but two boys who were sleeping in one of the upper rooms could not be awakened, when Mr. Nelson rushed to their room, and at the risk of losing his own life, managed to pull the two youths from their beds and drop them from the window in safety. Although that . was accomplish( d, at half-past two o'clock this a _ yo t r a nin b g e a a young woman who slept on the premises, a niece of the proprietor, was missing, and from inquiries made it was feared that she had perishe d . Owing to the combustible character of the stock in trade, but few minutes elapsed ere the w hole of the premises, from the base to the roof, presente d one immense sheet of flame, and very speedily t he p ro p ert y of Mr. Kirkham,, china and glass mercha nt, shared a similar. fate. 'he rt fl e e- Lion of the flam es bein g seen from a great distance caused the intelligence to be promptly forwarded to the fire stations, and forthwith the escapes of the Roy al Society, with the engines of the parish, London Brigade, and the %Vest of England office, reached the scene of con flagration, at which time plenty of water was flowing from the fire mains in the district, but the flames were exteiding completely over the wide carriage road, and were attacking the Queen's Head Tavern. Fortunately the firemen succeeded in cutting off the further progress of the flames very quickly, but at a quarter to three o'cl-ek they were far from being entirely extinguished, although all dagger of any further extension w as over.

THE 3D DRAGOON GUARDS, NOTTINGHAM.—The e hole of the refractory men of this regiment were on Saturday tight reported to be in barracks, end above 14 still remained in the guardhouse, the remaining prisoners having been summarily disposed of on Friday and Sa turday. The Colonel, Earl Cathcart, was busily en gaged in reviewing the whole of the troops, and inquir ing into the late disturbances, the result of which is, that applications have been forwarded to the COMMIE: 3- Chief, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, for three ge neral and six district courts-martial. The latter are for trying comparatively minor offenders, but a general court is only ordered in very serious cases, and has the power of condemning to death. Late inquiries show that not only those men who transgressed during the fair week, and those whose horses were out of condition —a considerable minority of the whole regiment—but that every other man, no matter how good his conduct or previous character, or whether he had anything to do with stable work, was ordered to be confined within the barrack walls during Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur's plea sure. This punishment, which was felt to be of a de grading nature, was for the most part borne with quiet ness from Tuesday the 9th until Sunday the 14th Inst., when it was expected the order would be rescinded, and that the orderly men at least would be allowed the usual privilege. Application was accordingly made to the Lieutenant-Colonel, but he refused to recal his order for confinement, until, as he said, he had had ample time to observe from personal inspection that the horses had been better attended to. The men instantly became very indignant at this, as they thought, unjust treatment, and a complete conspiracy was entered into, of which the re sults have already been made public. It is said that if all who felt themselves aggrieved, and who favoured the rising of this little rebellion, had taken part therein, as very many promised to do who did not, the officers would have bt en lett without men sufficieut to form even a single picket. The coming inquiries in court•martial are looked forward to with great interest. ACCIDENT ON THE AYRSHIRE LINE.-011 Thurs day night a fatal accident occurred to a man named Thomas Irving, employed as a stoker on this line. The occurrence took place near the Lugar Ironworks, where it would appear, he had fallen off one of the waggons of a mineral train. The wheels unfortunately passed over his body, killing him almost instantaneously. He was a native of Ayrshire, and unmarried. PROPOSED GREAT RAILWAY BRIDGE AT COLOGNE. —We have much pleasure in noticing, as one of the fruits of the recent visit of his Excellency the Prussian Ambassador to this town and neighbourhood, that cur distinguished townsman, Mr. William Fairbairn, C.E., has been invited by the Prussian Government to offer his advice and assistance in connexion with a most im portant work which is about to be undertaken in Rhenish Prussia. It has been determined that the Rhine is no longer to be a barrier to an uninterrupted railway com munication between the shores cf the German Ocean and the great cities of central Germany; and the neighbnir hood of Cologne has been selected as the fittest site for effecting this junction. During his recent stay here the Chevalier Bunsen became deeply interested in the system of bridge building, which Mr. Fairbairn has so success fully and extensively carried out, by the employment of wrought iron as a material for the coustruction of great girders; and after his conversations with Mr. Fairbairn, his Excellency became strongly impressed with a con viction that this system was perhaps the only one calculated to meet the requirements of his Govern ment, and the corporate authorities of Cologne, who are also interested in the proposed structure. On the invitation of his Excellency, Mr. Fairbairn there fore prepared plans and calculations for this important bridge, and has been called to Berlin to submit his de sign to his Majesty the King of Prussia and the autho rities. The Rhine is at present, as it is well known, crossed only by floating bridges, and it has indeed hitherto been considered an impossibility to erect perma nent structures which should be able to withstand the destructive powers of the enormous masses of ice which are brought duwn from the regions of the Alps by this mighty stream. It is known that the Romans bad two passages across the river, constructed, however, of wood, and consequently hallo to great damage and deteriora. don ; but since th, it ago all attempts to erect massive bridges have failed. We are informed, however, that Mr. Fairbaim's design completely obviates all these diffi culties; and it is, therefore, not improbable that Man ellster may have the honour of supplying the talent which will carry to a successful completion one of the most colossal undertakings of the age.—Manchester Guardian. 2VIELANCHOLY SIGHT.—The following is an extract of a letter from Captain Durward, of the barque Ben Nevis, of Dundee, dated Cronstadt, Oct. 5, 1849:—" Oa Saturday night, at nine p.m., the look-out observed some thing right ahead and close to the chip. The helm was immediately put to starboard, and we just cleared it when it was within thirty yards of our quarter. I heard the cries of men for assistance. It was a ship bottom up, and a few perishing creatures clinging to her. I imme diately rounded our ship to, shortened sail, and made every attempt to rescue them, but all in vain. From the darkness of the night, heavy rain, and a gale blowing from westward. I lost sight of the vessel, and could hear them no more. I squared away at 11 o'clock—sorry, indeed, I could not save them."—Dundee Advertiser. LAMBETH ANTI-CHOLERA AND DWELLINGS IM PROVEMENT COMMITTEE.—This committee commenced the demonstration of the street-orderly system in the parish of Lambeth yesterday, with much satisfaction to the inhabitants. The men (taken from the workhouse) are warmly and decently clad, and stationed in the various leading thoroughfares, taking in their course the intersecting courts, alleys, lanes, and passages, which they completely clean s e. A house has been pro vided for the orderlies, who lodge together, and their meals are regularly served. The operations are under the direction of an inspector and superintendent, who exer cise, a moderate degree of discipline to ensure order and civility. The streets of Lambeth present a far different appearance to what they wore hitherto, and which must, eventually, tend to improve the health and comfort of the parishioners. HOLBORN, &C PAYING BOARD.—At a meeting of the St. Andrew's, Holborn, and St. George the Mart) r's Commissioners of Pavement, held at the Union Work house, Gray's Inn lane, last night, Mr. George Ta)lor in the chair. Mr. Hopwood, a member of the board, submitted an offer, which he had been authorised to make to that and other metropolitan paving boards by Mr. Lowe, the inventor of the "patent stench-trap grid or grating," which has already been adopted, by way of experiment, by the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers. The t ffer was to put down, in situations that quired them, several specimens of his invention free of all charge to the boards consenting to make the experi ment. The surveyor said the board had no power of itself to accede to the proposition, however advantageous.. They must apply for permission to the Commissioners of Sewers. But if any of these traps were to bo tried, Red Lion-passage should be one of the localities to have the benefit of one. It was then resolved that application should be made to the Commissioners of Sewers, for leave to lay down several in such places as the Committee of General Purposes should select. At the same meet ing some discusion arose as to the propriety of assessing the gas and water companies in the parishes within the board's jurisdiction to the paving -rate, these companies having hitherto enjoyed an immunity from this tax. It was estimated that 501. per annum would be added to the revenues of the board it this course were puiseed. Mr. Pugh (the clerk) said he had looked into the cases ad judicated upon by the courts of law, but bad not dis covered an instance of its ever having been affirmed that water or gas companies were liable to paving -rate. At the same time ho thought it a very fair question to raise; for these companies were already liable to poor rates, and the paving-rate followed the poor-rate, according to the Act of Parliament. Besides, the word " heredita • ments" in their Act seemed to cover such property as gas and water companies works. It was ultimately re solved that thee companies should be assessed. In bringing up the half-yearly assessment, the clerk stated 3 wereo per on annum,th e i n creasethat . the ‘ T ‘e u m e y p t d y e h p r o i u v s e e d s " th in e t b h o e a p rd ar o is f h from a total annual assessment of 5,000/., or of about one-sixteenth of their whole yearly revenue. GLASGOW, OCT. 2 0.—COTTON.--We have had an active demand fur wool during the greater part of the week, and there have beets extensive [urchases, chiefly on speculation. Prices are fully id. per lb. above thu rates of this day week. The market has been quieter yesterday and to-day, but holders are firm. The goods market has be en less active this week. but stocks and light. Pig Iron—The improvement in the price of pig iron towards the end of the last week, caused by the covering of a few bear sales, has disappeared, and the market closes to-day with sellers of mixed Nes. at 425. 6d.; but little business is doing, as dealers, in the expectation of a further decline, will not buy to stock at current prices. A few sales could have been made to-day at 425. per ton cash. STRANGE VISITER AT A BALL.--11l the middle of the dancing at the Inglewood Hunt ball, at Penrith, a tat, charmed by the music, came down the chimney, and took his stand in the ceitie of the room; ladies hurried away in pale dismay, and gentlemen looked ample queer at the intruder, who, apparently uncon cerned, gazed after the frightened beauties who had re ceded from his presence. " Fetch a terrier; close the door," said Sir George Musgrave, " and let us have a hunt." A terrier was brought in, and a first-rate chase followed; but unfortunately the chimney was left open and the game escaped.--Carlisle Patriot. PORTJ'NG INTELLIGENCE.

HER MAJKSTY'S VISIT TO THE ClTY.—Yesterday, in consequence of directions from the committee ap pointed by the Corporation of the City of London to superintend the arrangements for her Majesty's visit to open the Coal Exchange, a number of men were engaged in cleansing the roof of Billingsgate-market, which will be both white and lime-washed. It is also intended to remove the mass of mud lying in the basin adjoining the market, and in front of the Custom-house, over the sub stratum of which a quantity of lime will be flung, so that the locality may be completely cleansed from all impurities by which the atmosphere might be impreg nated during the time the assemblage of persons are on the platform awaiting the Queen's debarcation. Piles were also being driven in the ground adjoining the landing-place where her Majesty will alight to ascend the esplanade which leads to the south entrance of the Custom-house. Mr. Benning, the City architect, was throughout the day attending the arrangements for the ensuing ceremonial, which are being actively carried out. In the course of the day the flag -staff was raised at the east end, on the summit of which the royal standard of England will float upon the Sovereign's arrival. The coal, corn, and finance committee, Mr. J. Ward, chairman, were for three hours in the afternoon busily engaged in arranging the proceedings for the opening.
