BRUSSELS, Nov. 24.—The average price of wheat last week was 21f. 30c., and that of Rye, 14f. 38c. The treaty concluded between Belgium and Hol land on the 6th of this month, was laid before the Chamber of Representatives yesterday. The investigation into the circumstances of the as sassination of M. Sirey, by M. Caumartin, is pro ceeding will all practicable dispatch. Several persons have already been examined on the subject by M. Dusart, the Judge. The weapon with which M. Caumartin struck his adversary has not been found. A Tournay paper says—" M: Sirey seems to have been of a passionate temper, if we may judge of a scene that passed on Thursday last at the railway terminus at Tournay. According to the regulations, the luggage of travellers arriving after the ringing of the bell, are not taken in. It appears that the trunks and boxes of Mademoiselle Heinefetter were in this predicament, and that M. Sirey flew into such a vio• lent passion with the inspector, that that officer took notice of it, and M. Sirey was very near being arrested; perhaps, if he had been so, his life would have been saved." BRUSSELS, Nov. 25.—The Prince de Ligne and the Prince Chimay have arrived at Brussels. AMSTERDAM, Nov. 23.—Accounts from Batavia of 23d August say that there had been a terrible fire lis Loerabaya, and that the damage done by it amounteT to a million and a half of florins. THE HAGUE, Nov. 24.—The news of the great fire at Loerabaya, made known on 'Change yesterday at Amsterdam by several private letters from Batavia, all dated 23d August, caused a great sensation there ; it occasioned a considerable decline in the shares of the Society of Commerce, which, after several fluctua tions, left off at 2i per cent. below yesterday's prices. The Handelsblad adds, that the loss sustained by the Society of Commerce is estimated in some letters at a million and a half of florins, but we have reason to believe that this estimate is much too high. We have made inquiries on the iubject, from which it appears that the Directors of the Society have been informed that in one of the Government magazines at Loerabaya about 1,600 chests of white cotton were destroyed, which would be a loss of about 600,000 florins. A note, which we have received to-day from another quarter, and to which some credit is due, speaks also of 6,000 picols of sugar, of 100,000 sacks of coffee, of a great number of empty casks belonging to the Go vernment, worth from 100,000 to 150,000 florins, as having been destroyed by the fire. An account from Semarang, of the 12th of August, speaks of 5,000 cases of gin, cigars, &c., making the whole loss two and a half millions of forms. BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.—The Chamber of Represen tatives is to meet to-day. A petition to the Chamber of Representatives is in circulation at Namur, request ing it to reject the projects . of law presented by the Minister of Finance, respecting the increase of the land-tax, and tax on furniture. A journal of Antwerp announces that M. Cau martin arrived at that city at seven o'clock on Sunday morning, where he inquired whether he was far from Aix-la-Chapelle, which shows that he did not know which way he had taken. Being informed of his mis • take, he took post-horses for Breda at half past seven o'clock. The Precurseur says—" We have this moment learnt that Al. Caumartin has embarked at Rotterdam for Hamburgh. OFFEN, Nov. 13.—The journal of this town brings very unexpected news from Belgrade, which, if it should be confirmed, will again place Servia almost entirely under the Turkish authority, and annihilate everything that the Servians have gained during the last fifty years. That journal says, " Our most recent letters from the Turkish frontiers of the 7th November, say the firman, not the beret, as was ex petted confirming the newly elected Prince Alexander George Witch Czerny, has been read in the absence of the nobles of Servia to thg assembly of the people by Kiamel Pacha, amid a salute of Turkish cannon. Great surprise was manifested when it appeared from the firman that Alexander Czerny was not de signated as Prince but only as Basch Bey of Servia; besides this the newly appointed Beys ' Alexander Sunitsch, Wutsitsch Perisitsch, and Abraham Petroniewitsch, were associated with him according to the contents of the Scherif; the Pacha of Belgrade is to be present at all the meetings and sittings of the Senate as President. Servia is bound to pay to the Porte a yearly tribute of half a million of piastres more than hitherto. Servia is likewise to give up to the Porte all the Custom-houses, as well as the six districts of Servia which, before the making of the Constitution, under the happy reign of Milosch, were incorporated with Servia. Lastly, all the cannons hitherto possessed by the Servians, must be given up to the Turks. Immediately after the arrival of Emir Effendi at Belgrade, application was made to the Im perial Governor of this City to deliver up all the Turkish orders of Knighthood which were worn by Prince Michael of Servia, and which are said to be deposited with the Imperial Military Governors of Semlin. His application was not complied with. The insignia which were given to Prince Michael for him self have been retained by him." TURKISH FRONTIERS, Nov. 9. Accounts from Bucharest say that the Sultan's firman, ordering the deposition of the Hospodar Prince Ghika, was published there on the Ist of this month. The ap proaching election of the new Prince is anxiously ex pected. The chances appear to be more and more in favour of Philip Besco. < The Boyars, who are absent in the country, are beginning to return, in order to take part in the election.—Allgemeine Zei lung, Nov. 19.

OSNABURG, Nov. 16.—1 n the night of the 13th of this month a fire broke out in the village of Borden which destroyed 80 buildings, among which are the church, the school, the town-house, and the parsonage.

NUREMBURG, Nov. 16.—We are able to commu nicate to cur readers, on authority which may be de pended upon, the agreeable news that the conclusion of the convention with Austria, relative to the Post office, is not the only advantage, for which Bavaria will be indebted to the Government in the year 1842. The example of Austria in reducing the postage of letters will be imitated by us, and his Majesty's de cision on the subject will be published in a few days, at all events before the meeting of the Assembly of the Estates. We are not yet able to give any parti culars, but we hear that the maximum of postage in the, kingdom, that is from one frontier to the other, will not exceed 12 kreutzers. BERLIN, Nov. 16.—We learn that the authorities of the Post-office have at least turned their attention to a change in the regulations of that office, though it may perhaps be a considerable time before any takes place. The works which have been published on the new regulations of the English Post-office, are dili gently consulted by the Directors of our Post-office, and some of them translated into German. A reduc tion of the postage seems to be absolutely necessary to animate our internal communications. HANOVER, Nov. . 17.--His Majesty's health has latterly been extremely good, and he has been out hunting almost every day.

The facts relative to this sudden and unexpected event in the theatrical world have been somewhat in correctly laid before the public in the account of Thursday's proceedings. Mr. Bunn was first put in communication with the Proprietors at ten o'clock on Thursday morning, up to which time he was perfectly unconscious that any change in, the management was about to take place. _ _ Upon the proposition being Made, Mr. Bunn is stated to have said that nothing would induce him to be a party to any proceeding that approached a co ercive character towards Mr. Kemble. He was as sured that nothing was more remote from the inten tion and disposition of the Proprietors, and the lessee ship was again offered to him. Mr. Bunn remarked on the almost insurmountable obstacles -which pre sented themselves to his entering on the theatre in its present circumstances. The Proprietors said they did not make this a sine qua non, but that he might date his tenantcy from Christmas next, and that if he would become the medium' of keeping the theatre open until that period, he' would be doing the company as well as themselves (the Proprietors) , a service. Mr. Bunn asked for a brief period of time to see his way clear, and communicate with the performers. The meeting of Friday was the consequence. Immediately after the: close of this meeting, Mr. Bunn was in personal and confidential communication with Mr. Butler, who acted, and, as it will -be seen, has throughout continued to act as the representative of the Kemble family. The' result of the interview was the departure of Mr. Butler for Brighton, where Mrs. Sartoris (Miss A Kemble) is at present sojourn ing, for the purpose of communicating to that lady the proposition of the Proprietors. Miss Kemble, having expressed herself deeply sensible of the kindly feelings which had been manif es t e d t owar d s h er by those pre senth at the meeting —el— at the theatre during the afternoon, and her anxiety that the theatre might, for the interest of the profession, continue open, said she would rather give her services gratuitously than that it should be closed, and entrusted Mr. Butler with a letter to that effect, to be read at the meeting of Saturday. Mr. Butler, upon his return to town on Saturday morning, saw Mr. Bunn, and made him acquainted with Miss Kemble's very generous offet, at the same time observing that he felt somewhat annoyed at find ing that the account which had been giving in several of the morning journals would lead to the inference that compulsion had been used towards Mr. Kemble in his separation from the management. Mr. Bunn regretted that the statement should have conveyed such an impression, and repeated what he had said to the Proprietors, that nothing would induce him to place himself in opposition to one whom he so much respected as Mr. Kemble, adding, " If this step is to the prejudice of Mr. Kenible, I will not take it." Mr. Butler said it certainly was not, and for his part he was heartily rejoiced that Mr. Kemble had given up the lesseeship. The meeting of Saturday was very numerously attended, and the feeling displayed throughout the proceedings was as enthusiastic as it was generous and creditable to all parties. It having been signified to _the company that the Proprietors could not, with a due regard to the expenses of the theatre when open, and the interests of the renters, recede from their proposition of the previous day, the announcement of the result of Mr. Butler's journey to Brighton was the all-absorbing subject of expectatio n , and certainly the chief feature of the meeting was the scene which ensued upon the reading of Miss Kemble's letter. In this communication she stated that " nothing should induce her to put the company in a difficulty ; that she would cheerfully make herself one of them ; that she would take her salary subject to the receipts; that she would be the last paid ; and that, if there was not enough, she would play for nothing." Great cheering followed the reading of this letter. The company, having given expression to their admi ration of Miss Kemble's offer, said they were per fectly satisfied that the mere fact of her appearing on the stage for the last time would draw houses that could not fail to cover all the expenses of the manage ment; but, under any circumstances, imitating her example, they would readily take their risk in the re ceipts of the house. The whole of the company then signed an agreement to this effect, and the house will consequently re-open to-night under the management of Mr. Bunn. _ It is stated that the heavy duties of the lesseeship have operated most prejudicially upon Mr. Kemble's health, and that his physicians had given an ex t reme ly unfavourable opinion as to the probable consequences ofa continued performance of them ; It is said th a t ill health has prevented Mr. Kemble s attendance at the theatre during the last six weeks. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. On Friday evening a musical performance t oo k place at Exeter-hall, co ns i s ti n g of Handel's J u bil a t e , a new version of Beethoven' s Mount of Olives, w ith a libretto by Dr. Hudson o f Dublin, before a ver y thronged assemblage of dilettanti.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUA. - SlR,—What will a Morning Contemporary of yours say now to the doin gs of our N on -I n t rus i o nists ? A short time since that pape r i n strong l angu a g e re v il e d the idea of the Non-Intr us i on i sts ma ki ng an y f ur th er application to the powers that be. So sure was it that these much wronged and suffering men would not dishonour themselves and their sacred cause by again seeking the aid of secular power, that it pledged itself never more to should. The pledge i say a wor d f or them if they s now f or f e it e d, o r about to be come so ; and we shall see if y our C on t em porary em braces so fair an occasion to leave off giving articles on a subject of which he seems to know very little. He may thank his stars for so lucky ap opportunity of escape. The good man seems .to think that the Non-Intrusionists are really i n goo d earnest all the w hile when they raise th e cry of " st i pen d s to t h e winds," &c. This perhaps may i n some measure b e held to account for the oddity o f a p ro f esse dly Volun tary newspaper being th e panegyrist of those " wild men ;" and also for the oddities of the articles de voted to that object. It is sincerely to be hoped that your Contemporary is better acquainted with other matters treated of in his columns, and that he will in future stick to what he knows more of, and let the Non i st t h C a l t e Clergy they y care for themselves. He m will do so, perhaps with a demure smile at him into the bargain.—l am, Sir, your daily reader , A SCOTSMAN.

A few years back the Duke of Wel lington had a large party of visitors at Walmer, and one wet day, when the guests were confined within its walls, an officer betook himself, in default of other occupation, to rummaging an old s t ore -room, filled with what seemed a mass of trumpery ; he was re warded for his research by finding a soldier's canteen, on which was written, " 'William Pitt, Cinque Port Volunteers." It was the canteen of Pitt, Prime Mi nisxteiorusofto England preser ve. such The a o memorial c e e m r 0 , man, took it to the Duke of Wellington, but the Duke seized upon it as a prize, saying, " Oh, very interest ing indeed ; I'll take care of it ;" and no doubt his Grace has it to this day.—Sunday „ P aper. THE AGNEWITES.—The fo l lowing Paragraph from the Reformers' Gazette, shows that these gentlemen have broken their solemn pledges, and now travel like other people :—" So-ho ! We find that the Rev.

We predicted six months ago that it would come to this at last. We hope the Rev. Doctor has found that the railway, after all, is better than Mr. John Bain's old mail coaches."

WALMER, FRIDAY.—Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert walked out on the beach, as far as Herridge's Hut and back, between twelve and one o'clock this afternoon, when the weather set in so wet and boisterous, as to prevent their leaving the Castle again. There will be no addition to the Royal dinner circle this evening. No time has yet been fixed upon for the Court to return to Windsor, but the probability is that her Majesty will remain at Weimer for a week or ten days longer.

On Thursday night, during the performance of the Tempest, the company (through Mr. Bartley) re ceived a communication that caused an extraordinary feeling of astonishment to the performers assembled. The subjoined particulars are authentic. Mr. BARTLEY, addressing the company in the Green-room, stated that he had a communication of a most painful nature to make, more particularly as it was so unexpected. It was (he observed) his un pleasant duty to inform them that Mr. Kemble had been removed from the management of Covent-gar den Theatre that day by the proprietors, and that Mr. Bunn was appointed its future manager. The greatest astonishment was exhibited at this informa tion. Mr. Bartley, in continuation, observed that Mr. Bunn would meet the company at two o'clock on Friday, and state his arrangements for the termina tion of the season. He (Mr. Bartley) further added, that the cheerful acquiescence of the company to his proposal when the theatre was closed on Monday night was most creditable on their parts, and gave him additional regret to have again recourse to their in dulgence. This latter remark has reference to the company having generously agreed to forego their salaries dur ing the present week, accepting what was left, if any, of the receipts, after payment of the current expenses of rents, gas, servants, &c., during Miss Ketnble's in disposition. On Friday, at two o'clock, Mr. Bunn met the as sembled company in the Green-room, and the follow ing observations will convey the essentials of his ad dress, which was listened to with the deepest attention by all present. Mr. Benedict attended on the part of Miss Adelaide Kemble and Mrs. Alfred Shaw. Messrs. Vandenhoff, Bartley, and Cooper on behalf of the company. Mr. Bunn observed, that whatever surprise might be felt by the company at seeing him in the Green • room as the future lessee, it did not exceed his own, for, at ten o'clock the previous day he had no ide a o f his future connexion with Covent-garden Theatre. He had been sent for by the proprietors, and he en tered on his task with much reluctance. It was a painful occurrence to hear that so noble a temple of the drama was not in the proud situation that the great exertions of the late manager had a right to ex pect. A branch of the illustrious Kemble family had by her exertions and genius raised the theatre to the highest pitch of fame. She had attracted vast audi ences during the last and the present season, on the nights of her performance ; her highly gifted father, at an advanced period. of his life, had assumed the cares of management once more; and he (Mr. Bunn) felt bound to declare, that he had never witnessed more perfect representations than had been offered to the public during his (Mr. Kemble's) last lesseeship. How painful, then, it was to inform them, that such was the want of public patronage on the nights that Miss Kemble did not appear, added to the vast outlay re quired to perfect the operas in which Miss Adelaide Kemble and Mrs. Alfred Shaw appeared, that a heavy loss was sustained in the expenditure of the last few weeks. Mr. Bunn continued—lt would be a matter of the deepest regret to know, that after the liberal surrender of the performers' salaries during the pre sent week, in order to meet the'diffitulties, that the theatre should prematurely close, and the name of Kemble should pass from the scene of her triumphs to take her farewell of the public in a rival establish ment. I am, continued Mr. Bunn, the lessee from Christmas, of this theatre, for the remainder of the season, but if the company catt arrange to keep the theatre open till that period, my services shall be given most heartily to aid their interests. Mr. BENEDICT here observed, that on the part of Miss Adelaide Kemble and Mrs. Alfred Shaw, he was commissioned to state their willingness to render their services with the general company, receiving only the proportion of their salaries, after deducting the usual nightly expenditure, arid the payment in full of all salaries up to 3/. per week.—[This proposition had been previously resolved upon by Messrs. Vandenhoff, Harley, C. Pitt, J. Bland, and Diddear, on Monday night.] 'iUr. - BuNN, in conclusion, observed that the gener ous sacrifice which the company might be induced to make would, if carried up to Christmas, greatly assist his views as manager when he commenced; but he assured them, that at that moment he was ignorant of the salary of any lady or gentleman of the establish ment ; yet that he should be most happy to hear from every lady or gentleman in the company on the sub ject of continuing their services for the remainder of the season. From the production he witnessed of The Tempest, he should be proud to avail himself of every member concerned therein, and hoped that their cheerful acquiescence would be given to his proposal for the general good, though they all painfully knew every engagement in the theatre was cancelled by the unhappy course circumstances had taken. Mr. Bunn, after stating that he trusted their united exertions would carry the theatre to a successful conclusion, then took his leave amid much applause. Mr. VANDENHOFP then proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Bunn, for the candid and general spirit in which he had stated his views of their position. It was then suggested by Mr. Vandenhoff that so much liberality on the part of the performers, who were so deeply in terested, should be met by the proprietors, receiving so enormous a rental (351. nightly), in a correspond ing way ; and a deputation, consisting of Messrs. Vandenhoff, Bartley, and Robertson, the treasurer, ac cordingly waited on certain proprietors, stating what had occurred. After an absence of two hours they returned to the company with the proprietors' answer, that they could not accept less than the usual rent, alleging that they had received no portion of rent during the present season. " What," observed one of the proprietors, " will the renters say t o us w h en they come for their shares ?" It was stated by the delegates that the company were, and would be the largest sufferers by far in the transaction ; but the only arrangement they (the proprietors) could listen to was, that they would consent till Christmas to take 201. nightly from the doors before any other liability was considered; and if, after the payment of salaries, &c., as the company might among themselves deter mine, any surplus remained on hand, it was to go to make up the deficiency of 351. nightly rent. That was their ultimatum. This was 133 T no means considered satisfactory by the company, and a further adjournment was moved for Saturday (this day). Mr. BARTLEY assured the company that he believed Mr. Charles Kemble was himself unconsious of the Proprietors' determination and arrangements as re garded Mr. Bunn ' up to the period o f s i x o ' c l oc k on Thursday night ; Mr. Kemble 's illness having con fined him to his room for several days, and Miss Kemble having retired to Brighton early in the week. In answer to an inquiry as to the treasury for to morrow (this day), Mr. Bartley stated that there was not a shilling for any one, beyond the chorus, ser vants, &c., observing that the last night of Semi ram id e (last Saturday) was less attractive than some of the off nights. The present week, he said, was on th e play nights most inadequate in receipts. The company then separated, with mingled feelings of disappointment and regret, at so unexpected a re sult to their exertions. The bill stands for the Tempest and Masanie/lo (re vived) for Monday ; but the latter opera canno t be played, as a domestic calamity will prevent Mr. Har rison appearing for some days. The whole of the company assembled on Satuiday, iursuivat to adjournment from the previous day, for SOUTH AMERICAN BOND HOLDERS. The follon;ng correspondence between the Com mittee of South American Bondholders rid Messrs- Lizardi was read on the Stock Exchange to day, in explanation of the mystery that has of late prevailed in the Mexican market : No. L "Austin Friars, Nov. 23. " Gentlemen,—Understanding that your Committee is about to meet this day in reference to the question of the amount of Mexican bonds in circulation, we have no hesitation, for your information and that of the Bondholders, to state that the amount of the bonds in question delivered •to us by A. de Iturbide, Esq., the Mexican Minister in this country at the time, was —Of Active Five per Cent. bonds, 5,500,000/. ; De ferred ditto, 5,500,0001. These bonds all bear date the 30th of September, and are signed by the said Augustine de Iturb;de. We have not yet issued the above amount of bonds, but the total amount, when the issue shall be completed, cannot exceed the sum already stated.—We have the honour to be, Gentle men, your obedient servants, "F.

" Gentlemen,—The Committee of Spanish Ameri can Bondholders have been favoured with your letter of this date. " The Committee beg leave to refer to the proceed ings which took place'at the time of the conversion of Mexican bonds. By the first article of the agreement for the said conversion it was provided, " ' There shall be created a national consolidated fund, with interest at the rate of five per cent. per annum, with the sole and determinate object of con verting thereinto the entire foreign debt, if it shall appear to the present creditors advantageous so to do, and to fund it in the manner set forth in following articles ; to which effect Messrs. F. de Lizardi and Co., of the city of London, are hereby named and appointed the agents 'of the Republic for the said ope ration ; and they shall, in the name of the Mexican nation, remit the corresponding bonds of the said con solidated funds in pounds sterling, payable in London on the Ist of October, 1866, with interest coupons in the margin for each half-year until said date. These bonds shall, moreover, be countersigned by the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic in London, or by his representative.' "Accordingly the issue of bonds of the national Consolidated Fund under this agreement was to be limited to the sole use and determinate object of con verting thereinto the entire foreign debt. "By the inclosed statement it appears to the Com mittee that the total amount of bonds required for this purpose is 9,247,9371. The Committee presume, therefore, that no - greater issue than this amount either has been made or will be made. On this point the Committee request the favour of information from you previous to their,meeting again to-morrow (Fri day) at two o'clock.—l have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) "G. R.

" Sir,—We hasten to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date. " Having already stated to the Committee the total amount of bonds placed in our hands by the Minister of the Mexican Government, we have only to add thereto that as soon as the conversion shall be com pleted, we shall duly account for the same to the Mexican Government. " With regard to the statement concerning the amount of the Five and Six per Cent. Loans, which accompanied your letter, we beg to observe that it is at least deficient in one particular, since nothing is said about our commission on this transaction ; but as that, however, is a matter between us and the Mexican Government, it cannot form any subject of discussion between the Committee and ourselves: "In the meantime, we beg to state, for the infor mation of the Committee, that the following are the highest numbers of each series which can be issued : No. 1 to 10,300 of 1001. each . . £1,030,000 Ito 4,800 of 1501. each.. 720,000 1 to • 4,800 of 250/. each... 1,200,000 1 to 4,900 of 500/. each... 2,450,000 £5,400,000 " And that the amount at pre3ent in circulation is 5,254,5001. of Actiie Stock. We have the honour to be, &c., (Signed) "F. DE LIZARD' and CO., Per proc. MANUEL I. DE LIZARbI." If this explanation, be not fouild completely satis factory, it has, at any rate, the effect of removing the mystery as to the amount of bonds in circulation, and the authorised numbers of each series, w hi c h has of late so much alarmed the holders. Mexican stock was violently agitated throughout the hours of business. The market appears to have been entirely subject to the various rumours current respecting the alleged over issue of bonds. The first quotation for the Five per Cents. was 311 to 314, and then followed a fall to 294, which price ruled till fur ther sales were made, and 281 was the quotation. However, as soon as it was known that the correspon dence between Messrs. Lizardi and the Spanish Ame rican Committee was concluded, and the answer of the agents was communicated on the Stock Exchange, an advance to 304 took place. The closing value was 304 to 31. The Deferred Stock stood at 84 to 84 all day. At the first opening of business there was a perfect panic among the dealers, they were fearful of passing the bonds to each other, so that the opera tions which afterwards were conducted were purely speculative. Confidence is not yet absolutely revived, though the higher prices are quoted. The other Stocks in this posture of affairs scarcely attracted any attention.—Times. Since the receipt of the late glorious news from Affghanistan and China, a reduction of the army has, we understand, been decided on. We announced several weeks ago that arrangements had been com pleted for giving a second battalion to three regiments. Not only has the Secretary-at-War abandoned this intention, but he has decided on reducing the recently increased establishment of infantry corps. Should the Emperor of China fulfil the conditions of the treaty of Nankin, and should the affairs of Affghanis tan terminate, as it is confidently anticipated they will, in the complete 'pacification of that country, a much larger diminution of our land forces will inevi tably take place. The reduction proposed for the pre sent will not exceed 3,000 men.—United Ser v ice Gazette. PAISLEY.—It appears that in Paisley, at the present moment, there are no less than 7,000 persons abso lutely subsisting on charity alone. There are, added to this, stores where articles of daily consumption can be purchased at a cheaper rate than usual, which stores are privately supplied by the Government. This is a benefit, perhaps, to the absolutely starving people, but it must tend to further embarrass the shop keepers, who are, as every one knows, suffering most severely from the depression of the times. Within the last three months, no less than three thousand able working mechanics have emigrated to the west ern world from the neighbourhood of Paisley. Why will the Government blindly rush on to ruin ? Thank Heaven " the Leagae " possesses determination and the will; may Heaven grant them soon the means. ADULTERATION OF ARROW-ROOT.—Potato starch is easily detected in arrow-root by hydro-chloric acid. Mixed therewith, genuine arrow-root gives no odour whatever ; adulterated with potato-starch, a smell of fresh beans or rushes may be perceived.—Annals of Chemistry. A gathering of the Duke of Buccleuch's London tradesmen was held on Friday at the Freemasons' Tavern, to celebrate his Grace's birthday. The party consisted of upwards of fifty persons, mho sat down to an excellent dinner.

Undeterred by the ill-success of the masquerade scene of pseudo Tory operatives, the Tory registra tion gentlemen ti red to must r a dinner party. Some of those they invited, however, had to see to their forms, or mercluindise, and begged to be excused ; others, perhaps, had marred wives, and therefore they could not come, so that all South Derby could do out of regard for the Registration Committee of her sitting Members, was to assemble some forty or fifty persons--certainly not more—to hear a repeti tion of the nonsense which was uttered by the same speakers at their last Operative feast;og. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Chandos Pole) called upon Sir Seymour Blane to propose for a toast, " Th e Magistrates of the county.' Now, Sir Seymour Blane, havinga proper regard for etiquette, and being anxious as a gentleman not to display any gaucherie or incompleteness in vs hat he did, re-muddled this decapitated toast, and fitting it with a becoming head, proposed the healths of " The Lord Lieutenant and the Magistrates of the county." The Lord Lieutenant ! Hinc illca lachryma I When the proposal fell upon the ears of the little knot of Tory gentlemen some thing like silence ensued, and in a true Jack Cade spirit they refused any applause to the toast, and Duke and Magistrates were passed over together, with a devil-may-care swagger by the lovers of con stituted authorities ! Mr. CuANDos POLE, we hear, remonstrated in a sotte voce tone with Sir Seymour Blane, on his having completed the imperfect topic entrusted to his care, and wondered what active feelings of propriety could have induced him not to snub the Lord-Lieutenant while proposing the body of inferior Magistrates. Sir Seymour Blane had too nice a sense of what was due to himself as a gentleman to listen to the imperti nent rebuke of Mr. Chandos Pole, and with the feel ing of a high mind indignant at the low practices of his party, the worthy Baronet immediately left the room, and refused to take further part in such un mannerly revels. Gentlemen were sent after him to persuade him to return, but the Baronet was properly punctilious, and would do no such thing. A sensa tion was caused in the assembly, and the meeting was broken up in great confusion.—Derby Reporter. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Leeds Mercur i y 2 ) FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, NOV. 25.—The effect produced upon this market by the highly grati fying news from China and India, has already, in some measure, been perceptible ; a material improve ment may now be looked for, both in regard to an in creased amount of business and the prices demanded. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, NOV. 25.—W e have not any alteration to report in this branch of trade during the present week, either as to demand or prices. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. 25.—For same weeks past, we had little or no variation in any branch of the wool trade, nor can we yet report any improvement; we may, however, anticipate that the cheering news from India and China will, in a few days, produce a favourable, impression, and cause an improvement in the demand ; stocks of combing wools are becoming more ample. Prices are nominally the same as last week. There is no inquiry for blanket wools. TRADE Or LEEDS.—For goods of a general de scription the markets at both our cloth halls have been quite as dull this week as last, but there are a few orders out for light goods for the India market, and in consequence there has been more done in this description of goods than for some time past. The manufacturers who have been in the habit of making goods adapted for the China market (some of whom have held heavy stocks since the commencement of the war), are now in hopes of soon being enabled to dis pose of their goods. On the whole, the hope of a re vival of our trade generally in the spring is enter tained by many of the manufacturers, and in conse quence there is a much better prospect of employment for the operatives during the winter. The season being now far advanced, there is, as usual, little doing in the warehouses. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—In the Piece market we have nothing favourable to offer to our friends to-day ; everything appears slow, and the quantity of plain goods cleared off hardly an average. The Fancy trade still continues in the same awfully depressed state, and the little business that is doing only adds pressure on the before exhausted position of the manufacturers who have already felt that the over production of this article last autumn has re coiled with unexpected and unprecedented sacrifice. We cannot quote any alteration for the better in Yarn, and if the increase of the number adopting short time be any criterion, we may fairly infer the trade is getting worse. We trust the adoption of this salutary mode will tend to prevent any further de • dine in prices. Since our last report there is very little alteration in wool. The stocks in our staplers' hands are rather on the increase, especially of the descriptions most in request. Hogs, which have so long been a drug in the market, continue in the same dull state ; this applies also to combing Downs, which are almost unsaleable. In clothing wools there is a little mote animation, and the stocks of noils and short wool are nearly all cleared off. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—WE have had a regular, and it may be said, a good demand for all sorts of cloths up to Monday last; but on Tuesday, consequent on the favourable news from China and India, the market assumed a very curious and almost indescribable appearance. Son'ie manufacturers, espe cially of cloths adapted for the above markets, and of which there were previ6usly no stocks i asked as much as 9d. a yard advance, which, on its then value, is equal to 10 or 12 per cent. This of course was not acceded to by the buyers, at least in the early part of the day. There is, however, no doubt, that in a few cases a large advance was paid, but the general opinion is that 6d. may be fairly quoted as the amount of im provement on previous rates. In other sorts of power and hand-loom goods, varying indeed from li-d. to 3d. a piece, equal to about .5 per cent., and the market closed very firmly at these rates. Tweeds partook also of a general, but not so quiet an advance, as did cloths. The market, on the whole, was of a cheering character, as compared with what we have experienced for a long time past. CHARGE OF MURDER. Bais. - rot, Nov. 24.—Yesterday morningan intima tion was conveyed to the Coroner for this City, J. B. Grindon, Esq., that a man named Samuel Brittan, who resided in Little Ann-street, St. Phili ps , h a d died in consequence of some wounds which were in flicted on him in the early part of last month, by the landlord of a public-house in Mendip, on the road to Wells, called the Hunter's Lodge. Upon receiving this information the Coroner promptly issued his warrant for holding an inquest on the body, and a Jury was summoned to meet this day at the New Inn, Lawford's -gate. The nature of the wounds having been defined, John Day deposed that he was a hawker, and re. sided in Dean-street, Bedminster. Was intimately acquainted with the deceased. On Saturday, the 15th of October, they were together in company with John Angle, a butcher, residing, in Pinnel-street, at a public-hOuse called the Hunter `s Lodge, at Mendip, between this city and Wells. While they were there a quarrel' arose between Angle and a man who was present, and who was a stranger to witness's party. After the dispute was all over witness and deceased and Angle left the house to go to Bristol. After they had got about 200 or 300 yards from the public-house they were attacked by fourteen or fifteen men, who rushed out from the Hunter's Lodge, and also from the fields thereby. The landlord of the Hunter's• lodge was one of them, and he struck the deceased over the head with a cart-trigger ; it is what is used to support a cart in going up a hill to prevent. it running back, and had an iron crook and a staple attached to it. Deceased was knocked down by the blow into the road, and the landlord struck him again as he was lying on the ground. Six or seven of the men surrounded John Angle, and kept striking him with large stones which they had in their hands. Witness went across to the deceased, in order to prevent the men from striking him as he lay on the ground with the stones, and the landlord immediately struck him with the trigger on the head, and knocked him down also. The dispute had been about the reckoning at the house, part of which they were wanted to pay twice over. They had drank between four and five quarts of rum and milk at the Hunter's-lodge in the course of the day, and were all of them affected by it more or less. The CORONER here stated that it was desirable that the parties implicated should be present at the in quiry; and as it was most probable that they would be present to-morrow, it would be better to adjourn the inquiry. ------ - FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. A shocking fatality occurred on the 23d inst. at the paper manufactory of Mrs. Mary Crompton, at Collyhurst, Manchester. The sufferers were Eliza Jenkinson, 28 years of age, house-servant to Mrs. Crompton, who was killed on the spot, her body being literally torn in pieces, and Mrs. Crompton herself, who lost her left arm. It appears that Mrs. Crompton was at the time en gaged-in " putting in "to one of the calendars, for Ann Horrocks, a female in her employ, who had just gone to dinner; the deceased servant came into the room to deliver a message. The room is nearly filled with the machinery. On the left of the entrance was a large water-wheel, and on the right was the calen dar at which Mrs. Crompton was employed, a narrow avenue, only sufficient for a person to pass, being left between them. Up to this avenue came two cog wheels, and in passing the cog-wheels the deceased's clothes were caught by the teeth of the lower wheel. The wheels going at the rate of twelve to fifteen revolutions in a minute, the poor creature was instantly drawn into the hole under the wheel. Mrs. Crompton, perceiving her danger , Mrs, Cromp ton, render her what assistance she could, but bduetesehaestedds,oleht was omfelarmeraaseeme ex tricated. entangled.

The Jury found that the deceased " died from la cerations and fractures accidentally received from a cog-wheel," stating that had it not been for the in juries received by Mrs. Crompton in trying to extri cate the deceased, they should have imposed a very heavy deodand on the machinery.
