The meeting of the friends to Trial by Jury, which took place on Saturday, and of which a report appears in another part of The Sun, was more numerously attended, we believe, than such meeting's usually have been. It was con ducted to the end with great harmony and. equal enthusiasm. The sentiments were of the most liberal cast, and they found a warm welcome. To impress on Jurors of the present day, by the ex ample of their predecessors, a n,citerunination to stand between power and the oppr. , :ssed, is likely to be more than ever wanted. On .Ibrmer occa sions the juries sympathised with tho le who were persecuted by the Government, but. ti iey are not so likely to sympathise with nen who commit a riot in a turn-out for 1 rages, or who may overstep the strict bounds of law in seekin4 an extension of the suffncge. The Jurors will now, frequently, we believe, have to be on their guard against their own chi ss preju dices, and against their sympathies with em. ployers. To do justice, they will sometiix es have to conquer themselves. On this acct nt it is most proper to enforce on Jurors of the present day, by the example ofthrinerJurors, the& etermi nation to be strictly just, and always to t hrow a shield over the oppressed. We rejoice much, therefore, that a meeting, which had this for one of its objects, was so well attended, art" displayed throughout so much honest enthusias7.n. 'We formerly toJk it on ourselves to censure Mr. MacauLAl - for ernployinghis time, w: hen he wasa 'Cabinet Mii.ister, with amusing lit( rature, and not giving tl.at support and assistance to his party in and °it of Parl:ament which they had a right to expect from his great talents ai .d the high situation in which he was placed. ,No defence was then made for him ; but it v. ris thought proper to deny for him the author .s hip of the Pa. Per which led to the charge. It may he thought that now he is out of ()the, t , no similar objection can apply to giving himself ► tp to ballad poetry, and endeavouring, though wit it no great imccess, to reproduce something like tl5 e original legends which serve as the basis of. the his tory of Rome. Such are his erapl'oymentS , but to us they appear scarcely proper nil:. a public man in the present state of the comitry. Mr. MACAULAY is yet a Member of Parlia ment, and is yet bound, by representing Edin burgh, to the service of the people...l His counsels and conduct contributed to overt urn the Whin. coach. His letter, pompously dat e d froth Wind sor' Castle, brought ridicule: on t imself and his friends. His speeches at 7Edint urgh, avowin g bitter hostility to a large cln is of ;people, and ac.. eusiog them of designs a ga: ns7'. property, provoked their animosity. He made it o Litt() his own satisfac .tion that they could not recoil e tile share of consti. tutiona 1 power they asked wit hoot exposing society io danger,and his language ct )n tribe. ted very much to mak e t h e Whigs utipopL lar. llotlt by what he did, and what he nen-les eted to do, the Right Hot, Gentleman inflicted :heavy blows on his own party, and on the w( ,bare of the country. The solace he may find i> ). studying the legends of old Rome is no satisfar tion, to the people he insulted, and to the part he deceived. His satisfh.ction will not rest( ;e, the national Pros perity which the Whio. s so deeply wounded. and the Tories have If . 11 e be about to retire from public life, it seems ; somewhat cowardly not to fhce the dangers. he l Las brought on, and leave the task of surmout sting them to the courage and perseverance of • others. At present the people, suffering from a. T 1 thious policy, h ave need of aid from every (Lim ter to recommend miser counsAs to the pul )lic. The nation not I only wants a better system, but better guides. Suffering from one end to the other, it has a right to demand that talents which it has re warded with hig:l honour and great fortune should be exclusively devoted to its service. The sad conditioa of England, brought on exclusively by legislation—for the genius and energies of the people are unabated, and all the great sources of their prosperity gush as freely as ever, only the law will not allow them to flow in their natural chan nels—requires the undivided attention of Mem bers of Parliament to set it to rights. This is particularly the duty of those who have been for ward to refuse the people, suffering by their le gislation, the means of correcting the evil. When Parliament meets, Mr. MACAULAY will, we pre sume, again take his seat on the front Opposition bench. As one of the leaders of a party, will he be prepared to propose any great and comprehen sive measure of relief? If he have any such mea sure, he mustknow that to carry it he must carry the public mind along with him, and he should now be diligently working to that end. But he is engaged with other objects. He is digging amongst the ruins of Rome. He is clothing in poor verse the fables of antiquity. His spirit has gone abroad, and has deserted the realities of England for the fictions of Rome. To devote time and attention to other objects is to exhibit an insensibility to the public distress and the public danger. Mr. MACAULAY, by so doing, vo luntarily puts off and disavows the leadership the people have to some extent conferred on him. He neglects them and their interests, and he must not be surprised to find himself neglected and despised in turn. Perhaps it may not be useless briefly to ana lyse the meaning of the phrase " independence of foreigners," which our anti-free-traders praise as one of the greatest national advantages. We know, in fact, that no such thing in a trading point of view now exists, and Mr. G. THOMSON has, by his eloquent description of the enjoyments of the opulent landlords, .shown that they are dependent for every meal, for every luxury, and for every ornament, on foreigners. Our observations will take a different direction. It is clear, that the merchants who wish to send ships and cargoes abroad, have no desire to be independent of foreigners. They regard it not as a virtue, but a ruinous a vice. Manufacturers who make commodities for a foreign market share their feelings. The bulk of the persons employed by or in connection with both these classes, enter tain similar opinions. A great many writers on the subject justify on theory the practices of these numerous classes- Nay, we have of late known gentlemen at agricultural meetings ex press a hope that England might become an exporting country of agricultural produce; that is, dependent on foreigners for a portion of trade, for the profit of farming and the employ ment of agricultural labourers. The praise, therefore, of this "independence of foreigners," is practically and theoretically confined to a few persons, amongst those who administer our national affairs, and a few writers who repeat by rote a set of opinions that are no longer war ranted by the practices of any civilised people on the face of the earth. No nation is now in dependent, in a trading sense, of another; and those very nations which are now passing re strictive laws, do it, we believe, less to secure a perfect independence of foreigners than to raise up, as they hope, a different kind of trade with them, and acquire wealth after the manner of England. This notion of " independence of foreigners"' is really a whim of a few persons who have practically nothing to do with the matter. They are not the traders and manufacturers whose interest is concerned ; yet they think it right and decent to say to the merchant you shall not trade thither, and to the manufacturer you shall not make cloth for that market, because we— who have nothing whatever to do with trade, ex cept in our capacity of administrators of the affairs of Government to protect it— desire to be independent of foreigners. This, then, is no national, no general, no patriotic desire, it is a mere whim on the part of those who have nothing to do with trade ; and to that whim, clothed in a grave phrase, the welfare of all the manufacturing and trading classes is sacrificed. For our parts, having no respect for such whims, and less for those who entertain them, and who seek to delude mankind by clothing them in fine words, we say that the trading and manufacturing classes are great fools to allow their prosperity to be destroyedby such men, on such grounds. Our Gallic neighbours seldom take a just or dispassionate view of English affairs, and we, therefore, rarely look to the columns of their journals for information on our political relations with France or any other country. We often look, however, for amusement, and are generally highly gratified. If any credit is to be attached to statements in Paris papers of a certain class, England is the most helpless country in the world; she can form no alliance with any State which France could not break in a month ; her finances are ruined, her trade destroyed by foreigners, she is evi dently on the brink of ruin, and, like a man in a fit of delirium, is constantly haunted by fears of some dreadful catastrophe. Her great fear now is a coalition between constitutional France and despotic Russia. " England," says one of these veracious organs, " feels her situation keenly, for after having attempted to organise a coalition against us, she now trembles at the idea of a coalition between France and Russia. This question of a Russian alliance, which occupies but little attention in France, to which the jour nals scarcely allude, and which is, in fact, almost rejected, haunts the British press, and appears to it like the ghost of HAM LET." This is all very amusing, and we there fore tell our French Contemporary to mind the affairs of his own country, which require all his care, and not congratulate himself on events about which we have no apprehensions. The alliance of France with Russia is about as pro bable as her alliance with Prussia. They have not forgotten the treatment to which they were subjected by French officers and soldiers under the reign of NAPOLEON, nor have they such an admiration for the present dynasty, nor such a belief in the stability of any Gover ►vent that France could form, as to war rant them in joining that country against one of their oldest and best allies. This is only one of the dreams that constantly haunt the ima ginations of our restless neighbours, and the writer himself seems to regard it as such, when, on sober reflection, lie says, " it is, in filet, almost rejected." France must learn to conduct herself in a very different man ner from that which has characterised her for tl►e last fifty years, before she gets any one of the old monarchical Governments of Europe to side with her in a war which would throw the world into confusion, and might raise up a spirit among their own subjects little conducive to the se curity of the throne or the altar. Most French writers are aware of these facts, but, like some other writers, they prefer fiction to truth, and try to amuse, if they cannot instruct, their readers. The Madrid mail of the .27th has arrived in due course. The semi-cflicial Patrieta again contradicts the rumours in circulation ofa change of Cabinet. The Bishop of the CANARIES had been sen tenced for ;edition by the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, to banishment for two years in a place to be specified by the Government. The Official Gazette announces that a French journal was to appear on the Ist inst., and ex presses its belief that it will be successful. According to report Mr. ASTON had nearly concluded the negotiations for a treaty of com merce between this country and Spain, and it was confidently believed that the treaty would be ready for presentation to the Cortes at the o pening of the session. The treaty was for the entrance of cotton goods hitherto prohibited at a protective duty, the am ount of which was, h o Ieol •, not to be very hi g h. S ome project of it . v loan is said to be atta c h e d to t hi s n treaty, the interest of which was said to be se- ILE SUN, LONDON, cured by the payment of the cotton import duty in this country. Half of the duties were to be applied as an indemnity to the Catalonian manu facturers, who have hitherto opposed' yith much obstinacy any changes in the tariff. A mixed commission, composed cf half Spaniards and half English, is to sit in London.for the direction of the loan and the proper application of the cotton interest duties. The Iberia announces the capture and instant execution of three celebrated robbers—SANTIAGO- Y MEDIO, EL CIMBEON, and LEVEIANO RODRI- GuEz, in the valley of Aguilas. The Three per Cents. were done on the Madrid Bourse, on the 27th ult., at 21 at 60 days, and the Fives at 267.16 cash, 27 26 15-16 at 60 days, and 211 at 20 days with four coupons. MADRID, Oct. 2S.—Three per Cents., 211 at 60 days ; Five per Cents., 26! cash, 271 at 60 days, 21 with four coupons at 60 days. • The Municipality of Hanover went to King ERNEST with a congratulation on his son's mar riage, begging that he would take this opportu nity of giving up his prosecution of the City Ma gistracy. King ERNEST bade the worthy citizens to go about their business, and not trouble him a fourth time o 2 the subject. DAHLMAN, banished from Gottingen, is to have a professional chair at Bonn. The King of PRUSSIA has exempted from the censorship all publications of more than twenty sheets. A Frankfort paper relates, that a smith of the Island of Felster Las nearly discovered the quad rature of the circle. A most favourable report has been made of his discovery. The smith's name is KIRCHBOF. The Augsburg Gazette says—" The Commer cial Company of Trieste have resolved on dis patching some of their body to the East Indies, to report on the best means of opening a direct trad,.. between Austria and the East. The correspondence dated Frontiers of Turkey the 20th, in the Augsburgh Gaze:te of the 30th ult., gives a deplorable picture of the state of Servia. In the midst of the rejoicings at Bel grade for the SULTAN'S confirmation of the new order, or rather disorder of things, terror and persecution were the order a the day. WUTS CLUTCH had established committees of public safety. Arrests of several rich merchants had taken place, many of whom were very ill treated, and then banished. The prisons were crowded with persons whose opinions were regarded to be unfavourable to the Government; and on the 15th of September a Turk killed a publicyunctionary n the butchers' market, alleging that he had been authorised by WUTSCHITCH, who, amongst other atrocities, had ordered the Commandant Ersenrrsca to be conducted in chains, bound to a car drawn by oxen, through the town of Belgrade, exposed to the ridicule of the popu lace. AlyrscniTscll had remained to the last ,fiithful to Prince MicttApr., and had been taken prisoner by the Turkish authorities, who handed him over to the Servian Government. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with discussions on the opposition made to the pro posed commercial treaty with Belgian' ; but as the affair has turned out an utter fhilure, they possess no interest for the English reader. The Moniteur Parisien has the annexed ar ticle : A second meeting took place this afternoon at four o'clock, at the house of M. Fulchiron. It appears that as many Deputies were present at this meeting as at the first ; all shades of opinion were represented. Nothing has transpired of the discussion at this meet ing, which it was desired should be considered pri vate. All the persons who were present entered into an engagement to keep what transpired secret. The Journal des Debuts gives the following reason for the removal of General PAJOL from the command of the first military division p The Government has felt it to be its duty to give a successor to General Pa'ol. It conceived that a charge so toilsome required - an officer, not of greater courage, not more devoted to his duties, not snore full of patriotism, but in all the vigour of life. It has, therefore, nominated General Tiburce Sebastiani, whose claims and qualifications for such an important post no one will contest. However great consideration may be due to old and tried services, the duty of a Government is to consult above all things the good of the State, and there comes an age when good-will alone is not sufficient for the perfbrmance of certain func tions. It is precisely because a man has served long and zealously that he becomes disabled from serving any longer. General Pajol has attained his 68thyear —an age at which retirement is not only desirable, but honourable—for it is no longer the time for active service, and above all for a service so laborious and complicated as that of military commandant of the capital of a great kingdom. Oa relinquishing the command the General took leave of the officers and soldiers in these words : Before I quit the troops, from whom I behold my self thus suddenly separated, I wish to address to them my felicitations—to express to them my gratitude— for the zeal and discipline which they have exhibited whilst under my orders. For the last twelve years nearly all the corps of the army have successively formed part of the first division ; their courage, often put to severe proofs, has never been shaken, and in all the circumstances in which I have appealed to their devotedness, they have fully justified my expec tations. Officers and soldiers, we have together per formed difficult duties, and your attachment has ren dered them less laborious to me. I thank you for the confidence you have invariably shown to me ; it is the more precious to me, inasmuch as to it must be partly attributed the order and tranquillity which reign in Paris. M. THIERS has arrived in Paris. The death of M. TARGET, Prefect of Calvados, was announced in Paris last evening. The Gazette de France of Friday evening says :—" Hardly bad the legal notification of the decision of the Court of Assizes, which condemned M. A DRY, jun., as responsible editor of the Ga. zette, been given to us fur the payment of the fine of 13,200 f., than it was carried against M. AUBRY, as regards his sentence, to a year's imprisonment. He was arrested this morning as he was leaving home, and taken to the depot at the Prefecture de Police."

Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by part of the Royal suite, left Windsor Castle at nine on Satur day morning, for the Slough station, and immediately left by a special train of the Great Western Railway, for town. On arriving at the Paddington terminus, her Majesty and suite entered two of the Royal car riages and four, which were in readiness, and pro ceeded to Buckingham Palace, where the Royal party arrived shortly before ten o'clock, thus accomplishing the journey from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace within the hour. Prince Albert afterwards went to Somerset House, to attend the meeting at the office of the Duchy of Cornwall. Her Majesty and Prince Albert left town at one o'clock, on their return to Windsor Castle, by a special train. _ - . Many persons attention has been probably drawn to certain most malignant and injurious aspersions, which have been circulated with more or less explicit ness, upon the character of a lady of high rank, and the conduct of a younger member of the Royal fa mily. We have ourselves scrupulously abstained from mentioning them, in the full belief that they were— what they have turned out to be—simply false and scandalous. Nor should we now have noticed them, except to state that we are authorised, on the very highest authority, to give these calumnies the fullest and most peremptory contradiction which language admits of. We will not weaken the force 'of the sim ple contradiction, to which we gladly give all the publicity within our power, by expressing the deep indignation which we, in common with everybody else, must feel at those whose reckless carelessness or heartless appetite for scandal (for we cannot suppose anything so unnatural as malice) has given currency to these falsehoods. Inventors and propagators — who have imagined, spoken, and printed such cruel assertions—we scarcely know who have most reason to be ashamed of their share in anything so mis chievous and unfeeling. We will only express our hope that this most peremptory and unqualified denial will have the effect of crushing, at once and for ever, reports which it is humiliating to think should ever have obtained a moment's credit. —Times. THE INDIA AND LEVANT MAILS. A telegraphic dispatch, which was forwarded from Marseilles at daybreak on Wednesday, was only re ceived in Paris, ov, Mg to the misty state of the at mosphere, on Thursday morning : it simply announced the arrival, on the evening of the Ist instant, of the French Levant steamer, with dates from Constanti nople and Alexandria of the 17th ult. ' Smyrna the 19th, and Malta the 25th. The dispatches and papers by this mail were expected in Paris on Friday. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) The arrival of the 'West India 'mail furnishes later dates from all the colonies, the principal being Ja maica Sept. 26, Barbadoes Sept. 17, Trinidad Sept. 13, and Demerara Sept. 17. The news from Jamaica is 'satisfactory, the rain having fallen abundantly vegetation looking healthy, the prospects of the agriculturists being good, and the labourers conducting themselves with propriety, though it is alleged against them as a matter of complaint, that they were rmore anxious to cultivate their own grounds than those of their em ployers. The loss of another steamer the Isis, be longing to the fleet of the West India Mail Company, has excited much regret in the city, and will no doubt be a heavy blow for the Association, which, as we believe, takes it own risks. The accident in the present instance :appears to have been attended with such serious results from the circumstance of the Isis having been previously ashore, and from the want of a proper naval yard to effect substantial repairs in her ere she proceeded on her voyage. The planters of Jamaica, like our own landholders, finding protection and bolstering no longer the order of the day, and left to their own resources, have been compelled to exercise a little energy within the last two years, and the result, according to their own dear organ, the Jamaica Dispatch, has been highly satis factory, evincing clearly what might have been done sooner under a better system, much to the saving of consumers in the mother country. The whole island is said to have exhibited the most marked signs of improvement, and the miserable plan of raking up the ground by hand bills has been superseded by the deep furrowing of the plough, while agricultural societies were promoting the pursuits of grazing and the culti vation of necessaries never before attempted in the colony. The Governors of late years are said to have bestowed much more care on these subjects than under the ancien regime, and especially Sir Charles Metcalfe, whom the colonists evidently hold in great remembrance. The health of Lord Elgin and family, who were sojourning in the mountains, had been im proving. The Legislature was to meet for the dis patch of business on the 25th of October last. From Demerara our accounts certainly do not im prove. The greatest privation was experienced in many families, and the young men who had been em ployed as clerks and overseers were unemployed, and in too many instances, falling into bad habits. Money could scarcely be realised upon any description of pro perty, so prostrated was confidence and trade. The troops sent to the Brazilian frontier had re turned in good health, but beyond entailing expense, the expedition appears to have had noparticular result. In Demerara provisions were riot so scarce. We find nothing of general interest from the minor de pendencies of Antigua, Dominica, St. Lucia, &c. The report of the Liverpool Cotton Market gives the sales yesterday at 4,000 bales, and for the week at 23,000 bales. The stock is 486,860 bales, exceed ing rather that of last year. Railway Shares had be come dull. Eastern Counties were quoted 8k; North Midland, Half, 32 ; and South Eastern, New, 17. Not a single transaction was reported this morning in Consols for Account. The nominal price is, therefore 93'; for Money the current quotation now is 934 i; Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities are heavy at 1001 ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 101 i ; Exchequer Bills were at 60 ; and Bank of England Stock has advanced to 169. Guy Fawkes' day has lost much of its interest in the Stock Exchange as well as elsewhere. Time was, when scores of pounds' worth of fireworks were fired off in remembrance of the happy escape of " the Commons" from the underhanded deadly inten tions of the famous Guy. There are good accounts fro Mexico to-day, brought by the West India steamer the Medway. She brings, we hear, a further remittance for the next half-yearly dividends, Mexican Stock has improved to 33, and the Deferred to 91.

The Great Western New Shares, have been down at 14 premium, and in the Fifths , at premium ; London and Brighton re main at about 131 discount ; South Western are at 18i premium ; York and North Midland at 41 pre mium ; Midland Counties at 344 discount; and Man chester and Birmingham at 19;1 discount.

It is a great disap pointment to the town, as orders arrived only on Tuesday last for all workmen to get finished by the Bth. The town continues filling very fast. WA MIER CASTLE.—The arrival of her Majesty and Prince Albert, and their illustrious children, is at, present fixed for Thursday next, the 10th, or Satur day, the 12th. As the castle is not sufficiently capa cious to accomodate all the Royal suite, it is expected that the members of the Royal household in at tendance on the Queen will be limited to the number which usually attend her Majesty on her visits to Claremont. WALMER CASTLE.—The Duke of Wellington ar rived at the castle on Thursday afternoon from Aps ley House. There is an erroneous impression that the Queen and Prince Albert are to honour the Noble and Gallant Duke by a visit ; that is not the case, the Duke gives up the castle entirely for the use of her Majesty and Court. HER MAJESTY'S LATE VISIT To SCOTLAND..--A private letter from Perth informs us of the intention of the Earl of Mansfield and the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood, and the municipal authorities of Perth, to perpetuate the visit of the Queen to that city in her Royal progress to the Highlands from Edinburgh, by erecting a noble arch at the entrance to the burgh from the Bridge of Earne, where th• temporary triumphal arch was erected by the plat form at which the city keys were presented by the Ptovost ; it is to be of stone from Craigleith quarry. The Council have voted 1001. from the city funds, and the members individually have come forward with subscriptions to defray the expenses of the erection, and the Earl of Mansfield has given 25/. in further ance of the object of the promoters of so handsome an ornament to the city. FRENCH PLAYS. Mr. Mitchell has succeeded in engaging the distinguished comic actor M. Vernet for the ensuing season of French plays at the St. James's Theatre. The established favourites of last season, Plessy, Dejazet, and Bouffe have been re-en gaged. La Pere de la Debrdante, will be one of the earliest productions for M. Vernet's performance. MOUNTSHANNON, Nov. I.—The following bull .tin was issued this morning :—" The Countess Dowa;er of Clare has had a tranquil night, and is not worse to-day. Her Ladyship has escaped the immediate danger of her recent acute attack, but suffers much from the consequent debility." A " genteel English stranger," says an Irish pro vincial journalist, visited and left Cork last week, after vainly attempting forgeries to the amount of 2,6001. upon the Provincial Bank, and Bank of Ireland, in that city. He assumed the designation of " Henry Belville," and represented himself as a man of capital about to invest largely in eteam•mill operations. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—The Queen and Prince Al, Bert, and the Royal suite and household, attended Di vine service this morning in the the private chapel of the Castle. The Rev. Dr. Richards, of Exeter Col lege, Oxon, officiated. The Rev. Gentleman's text was from the 22d chapter of the Gospel according to St. Luke, and part of the 42d verse, " Not my will, but thine be done." Her Alajesty and her Illustrious Consort and suite walked for some time this afternoon in the Home Park and Terrace. _ _ _ Aesterday afternoon her Majesty and the Prince returned to the Castle from town to luncheon, es corted by a detachment of the Life Guards. Lord Stanley. the Earl of Dunmore, and the Rev. Dr. Richards, Domestic Chaplain to Prince Albert, arrived yesterday on a visit. The Royal dinner party yesterday evening included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, Earl and Coun tess of Dunmore, Lady Charlotte Dundas, Lady Ca roline Legge, Earl and Countess Bruce, Lord Stanley, Rev. Dr. Richards, Major-General Wemyss, Sir a. Couper, Bart., Lady C. Cocks, Hon. Miss Devereux, Viscount Hawarden, Hon. C. A. Murray, Sir R. Otway, Lord C. Wellesley, Colonel Wylde, and Dr. Prwtorius. It is expected that her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, will leave on Thursday morning for Walmer Castle. Lord Stanley left town on Saturday afternoon on a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. Mr. Wickham, Chairman of the Stamps and Taxes, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Saturday at his official residence in Downing -street. Dispatches for the Governor of South Australia were sent off on Saturday evening from the Colonial office. Dispatches were reveived on Saturday at the Colonial-office from the Governors of the West India colonies. LONG ANNUITIES. (From the Observer.) A question o f great financial importance, and one, too, deemed well worthy of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, has been mooted among some of the leading monied men in the City. It is, whether there exists any practical or real objection to extending the annui ties which will terminate in 1860 over a more length ened period of time ? thus permitting those who exist subsequent to participate in the expenses of the wars in which Great Britain established the peace of Europe on the plains of Waterloo as the future generation will enjoy all the advantages of the great object then obtained, while the payments, as far as they are concerned, will be reduced. It is not an unimportant object for the states man to keep in view, as far as respects the finances of the country, how large a diminution will be made a quarter of a century hence in the interest now payable upon the National Debt, especially if the rumour be correct that Government have it seriously in contemplation to reduce the Three-and-a-llalf per Cent. into a Three per Cent. Stock. That this is an important question the following fact will demonstrate: The Long Annuities, which expire on the sth Ja nuary, 1860, are an annual charge upon the resources of the country, speaking in round numbers, of 1,290,0001. The Annuities for terms of years, granted by the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, in exchange for stock or for money transferred, amount probably now to 1,800,0001. With other annuities, terminable at specific periods, not including life annuities, it is estimated that a total charge upon the revenue at the close of twenty-five years, will be annihilated, amounting to nearly, if not above, 5,000,000/. To this may fairly be added, the " Dead Weight Annuity," payable to the Bank of England, of 585,7401., until the year 1867. So that within a period barely exceeding a quarter of a century, and that time is a scintilla in the history of a country, the Treasury will be re lieved from the payment of annuities to the enormous extent of between 5,000,000/. and 6,000,0001. a-year. Add to this the certain reduction of the dividends upon the National Debt, with the conversion of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. to Three per Cent. Annuities, completed, and there will be a diminution of the responsibilities of the Treasury, in the period stated, of full 7,000,000/. per annum. The great question then is, can any plan be devised to throw a portion at least of the present liabilities of the country over an extended period, by enlarging the time at which the annuities will expire, and for which a quid pro quo would no doubt be gladly given by the public, having money to spare. The subject is thought to be one deserving the attention of the Executive. DEATH or Sin JonN Caoss.—We regret to an nounce that Sir John Cross, Judge of the Court of Review, expired on Saturday afternoon, at his house, in Whitehall-place. The death of the Learned Judge was quite sudden, as he had been out during the fore noon taking his usual exercise. His Lordship was fur a great number of years well-known on the North ern Circuit, when Sergeant Cross, and was the leading advocate in thewell-known cause of Turner v. Wake field. THE LATE DR. HERSCIIELL.- 011 Saturday the whole of the congregations connected with the va rious Synagogues throughout the metropolis and Eng gland, were specially summoned to their respective places of devotion, for the purpose of offering up prayers and thanksgivings to the Almighty for the repose of the Chief Dignit ary an d R a bbi of the Synagogue, on departed soul of the late Dr. Herschell , which occasion, also, contributions were received from all who have the means to give toward the support of the poor. The new Synagogue in St. Helen's was hung with black velvet and crape, and the mar bla pedestals, in connexion with the altar, were orna mented with festoons of black crape and velvet. Over the reading-desk was a covering of rich damask, mag nificently emb ro id ere d , an d w hich is only devoted to occasions simil ar to t h at it was u sed for on Saturday. A funeral pray er , which is exclusively chaunted on the death of a Chid Rabbi, was performed by the Reader, assisted by the congregation. The entire funeral ser vice was also different from the ordinary practice. The whole of the ceremonial, in the course of which no singing solemn mann er . A t t h e Great Synagogue, in Duke's was permitted, was conduct e d in the most place, Aldgate, the same solemnities were proceeded with. Sir Moses Montefiore, Messrs. D. Salomons, Aaron Cohen, Henry Moses, &c., attended at their respective syn agogues, an d about 2001. was subscribed. The mourning will continue for thirty days, and on all holidays thr oug h ou t the year prayer will be offered up. The successor of Dr. Herschell has not \et been named. On the 24th ult. a man, named Chapuizot, an inha bitant of the h am l et o f A zzo uville, in the Eure-et- Loire, aged 65, attempted to emu into execution a threat he had repeatedly made of making away with project was, b h e is d wife, by bbyiebsestbtiengwasfireastleeo s H tri s w mattreis of the how ever, defeated by the timely assistance rendered by the neighbours. The Magistrates were sent for, but when they arrived Chapuizot was found dead in a kft, where he laad hung himself. SUMMARY OF HVIS AND pub to eptittott. " Who runs may read." FOREXGIV.

The National states that the persecution of the pro fessors of the Catholic religion in Russia, and also in Poland, by the Emperor Nicholas, still continues. The Augsburgh Gazette, of the 30th ult., states, that the unfortunate refugees who have succeeded in escaping to the Austrian territory, draw a fearful picture of the system of terror and persecution which reigns beyond the Saave. Each day the Government orders persons to be arrested on account of their po litical opinions. The statue of Henry IV., by M. Etex, lately ex hibited in the Court of the Louvre, was fixed in its position on the Place Royale, at Pau, on Thursday last, without accident. The Central Committees of the Prussian States op pose several of the great railroad plans of the Govern ment, which would necessitate the issue of Treasury bonds to the amount of 25,000,000 crowns. On the 24th ult. Al; if Effendi, the Ambassador of the Ottoman Porte at the Court of Vienna, had a private audience of the Emperor of Austria, at which he presented a letter• from the Sultan announcing the birth of a son, and also took leave of the Emperor preparatory to his quitting Vienna in a few days. A rumour is prevalent at Madrid that the Spanish Ministry is again about to be changed. Zurbano, who has just been appointed Lispector- General of the Customs of Catalonia, with the most ample powers, is to retain, at the same time, the mili tary command of the province of Girona. MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE: The name of the merchant, at Plymouth, , whose failure was mentioned in The Sun of Friday, is Linden. His engagements are stated at as much as 200,000!., but chiefly continental. MAW AND PDX.XCY3. The proceedings on the part of the East India Coin pany against Captain Douglas, for alleged desertion, were resumed on Friday at darlborough-street. Cap tv,in Douglas was committed to prison upon the evi dence, which will be sent to the Secretary at War, to decide on the committal by the Magistrate. A policeman of the N division was on Friday charged at Union-hall with going into a gentleman's louse at night, and remaining there nearly an hour, to the ne glect of his duty. He was fined 10s., which will cause his dismissal from the force. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. The Seatonian prize of 401. for the best English poem on a sacred subject, has been awarded to the Rev. T. E. Hankinson, M.A., of Corpus Christi Col lege, the subject being, " The Cross planted on the Himalayan Mountains." Mr. Hankinson, since 1831, has nine times gained this prize. c oußT—rAsmonvAnx.E.

The office of alderman was in existence in the City of London so long ago as the Saxon Heptarchy, and was then considered equal to the rank of nobilizy. As it was purchaseable, however, feuds frequently arose, which brought about the mode of election as it now exists, and which first came into operation in 1402.
