The Vienna papers of the 30th inst. inform us of an amnesty which Baron Haynau published at Pres burg, on the 29th inst., and which includes all those poiiti6l prisoners whose sentence does not condemn thmn to more than a twelvemonth's imprisonment. 56 of the numerous prisoners in Hungary were libe rated in consequence of this amnesty. 34 fresh con demnations have meanwhile been prcnounced in Gailkia, the sentences varying from confinement with hard labour for the term of four years down to the term of two months. From Transylvania we learn that two fresh execu tions have taken place in that province. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING — DELAY OF THE CORK ELECTION.— . The election for the city of Cork must be delayed for several days beyond the specified time, in consequence of a mistake in the transmission of the Sp-aker's writ, which has been addressed to the Clerk of the Crown (Mr. Pierce Mahony), instead of the Clerk of the Crown and amaper (Mr. C. Fitz simon). Mr. Mahony, on receiving the communica tion from the Speaker's Secretary, dispatched a letter to the Right lion. Gentleman, acquainting him with the mistake. Toe ,writ, properly directed, may be expected in a few days. The Cork Examiner, re ceived this morning, expresses surprise at the unac countable delay. Meanwhile the rival candidates, Colonel Chatterton and Mr. Alexander M'Cartby, are mf..king vigorous preparations fur the contest. MR. S. O'BRIE;sI.—THE LIMERICK INSTITUTE. An irriugurative dinner of the above body took place in Limerick on Tuesday. It was remarkable for the attendance of men of high position, and for a fact—rather uncommon of late days, since " felony" and " felony" made a modern era in Irish history— that th-; health of Smith O'Brien was drunk in such an assembly. Many of the mercantile, literary, and scieritific men of the city wery present, Mr. William R )che presiding. There were Lord Monteagle, the Protestant Bishop of Li‘nerick, Win. Mansell, Augustus Stafford, M.P., Sir M. Barrington, kJ. Ater other toasts had been drui,k— Mr. ROBERT POTTEZ chime 1, as an old member of the institute, the privilege of speaking a few words. He said a paper had been put in his hand, asking why the names of the vice presidents of the society were not twisted on that evening. The names of those vice presidents were Mr. Monsell, Mr. John O'Brien, Mr. J. Roche, aed Mr. William Smith O'Brien. — (Tremendous bursts of applau-e at the mention of the latter name) Mr. Potter continued — When the laws of his country immured that sterling patriot, William Smith O'Brien, in a dungeon, he sent down his resignation to this society; an l I was in the prison with him when he received a letter back from you, requesting that he would continue to act as vice-president still. I cannot easily describe with what grateful feelings he received that letter; and how proudly and joyfully he answered that he would.—(Vehement cheers.) And though he is now an exile, far away from his native lann—that land for which he cherished a heartfelt affection—a love which cost him liberty and his fortune—and though he can no longer give his valuable services to this society, still he is our vice-president—(Loud cries of " Yes, yes," and deafening cheers) —and will continue to be so for some time longer—(Hear, hear)—until we trust, with the blessing of God, he will be again restored to his bosom friends in this institution, and act, as he has always done, in a truly honourable and upright manner as vice-president—(Hear, hear) — in conjunction with Mr. Monsell, of whom, as he is here, and can of course speak for himself, I shall at present say nothing. Neither, Mr. President, shall I say anything of your venerable brother, from whom an apology has been received ; and who, I believe, you have told me, has on this day turned on his eightieth year. Neither shall I speak of Mr. John O'Brien be cause if he were here he could speak for himself; but of Mr. S. O'Brien, who because he loved his country "not wisely but too well," cannot be here, will I speak— I think, Mr. Chairman, you should have the Vice- Presidents on your list of toasts, and that you ought not have omitted the name of William Smith O'Brien, a man who not only was anxious, and worked hard for the advancement of this institution, but who loved hie country so dearly, that her perilled his all —his very life—for its sake.—(Hear, and great cheering.) Gentie(mn, I shall now read for you the paper that has been put into my band. It asks why are not the names of the vice-presidents included among the toasts, and reminds you that: William Smith O'Brien, and Lord Adare supported this institution when it would have have fallen, hut for them. I now again repeat the question, and ask ought they to be omitted? —(Cries of " No, no.") Well, then, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I :shall propose, with your permission, " the health of the Vice Presidents?' Drank three times three, amidst the most deafen ing applause, the orchestra striking up " Welcome home again." Mr. ROBERT O'BRIEN , or Mulcair, brother to Mr. William S. O'Brien, said it would be wrong of him, however p tidal the subject, not to rise to return thanks for the honour done his brother, and the way the toast had been received. He could never forget that the Limerick Institution almost stood alone in refusing to cast him off in the time of his trouble ; and in doing so, they marked their appreciation of the high feelings which induced him to sacrifice him self and ell that was dear to him to arrest the down ward progress of his country.—(Cheers.) He begged also to return thanks for the honour they had done him in inviti ng hi m to b e t h e i r guest t h at even i ng , as he, was fully aware that he had done nothing to deserve it.—(Loud applause.) Mr. AUGU S T US STAFFORD also alluded to Mr. Smith O'Brien, and said, " although he differed from his political opinions widely, yet from the many and frequent opportunities he had of conversing . with him, be believed him to be attached to Ireland with a strong, devoted, and unmercenary love." That there should be honest, manly Irishmen to express their opinions above hoard, anywhere and on all fittin g occasions, is not matter for astonishment; the matter which the nitre-loyal bigots cannot digest hi the business will be—that Dr. Higgin's Protestantism, Lord Moreteaele's dignity - , or Mr. Monsell's Conser vatism were not overwhelmed by such rebellious pro nounciogs. Amid all the lickspittling which takes place arcrund us, the pride that licks the dust, and the mercenary patriotism which only lives to subserve England And English interests, at the expense or the degrodatTeon of their own, we rejoice to see a scintil - st rock out, now and then, which shows that there is some vitality at the national heart. —Cork Examine ORANGE :PROCESSIONS ON THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER. The Arorgarn Whig of this day (Saturday) says :- - - " Our infocznation continues ioencourige the ex pectatiou that there will be no Orange processions THE SUN, LONDON, ESDAY EVENING. on Monday next. The Government, however, are taking the course of wise precaution, and placing troops at the various points where danger might be apprehended ; and the public, of all parties, with the exception of a few of the extreme Orangemen, will sustain them in any necessary measures to put down di s turbance, should it be attempted." • Respecting the military movements, the same Belfast journal contains the following : " No. 2 company, composed of Captain King, Lieutenant Hogge, three sergeants, one bugler, and sixty rank and file, marched yesterday (Friday) from Belfast, en route to Deady, to be stationed there, in aid of the civil powers, until their services can be dis pensed with.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 5. BARNEWALL, PUBLIC OFFICER, V. SUTHERLAND. Mr. GURNEY applied in this case, which was tried before the Chief Baron, at the last Surrey Assizes, and in which a verdict was found for the plaintiff, for a rule to show cause why a new Wel ehould not be had, or why a verdict should not be entered for the defendant. the latter part of the applicatiin I:”itig nide without the consent of the Learned Judge. The whole of the pro ceedings in the case until a short time previous to the period Of the trial were brought in the name of Taylor, a public officer of a banking company, but owing to his death the action was continued in the name of Barnewall. It appeared that the commission day for the assizes W. 5 ' on the 6th of August last, and late in the evening of the sth, and after the defendant's attorney had left his office, the plaintiff's attorney served a notice, intimating the fact, and stating that it would be entered on the re cord, and that the trial would proceed in the name of the present plaintiff. The motion was m.tde on the ground that the trial took place without the defendant having any opportunity of traversing the su gg estion on therecord, the Learned Counsel submitting that this was an important point, for it was an every-day practice to deny the plaintiff being a public officer, because, if he were really and truly n Bth hd t kr ei 1 rnsogoni defeated,c, At tothreh V i c t oria , o. e e t eh o r7ae m i t ehG p s any w George alsooao ftrugttehe ele I V. , contended . nt publicho e liableamend ingand u nn n d f o d he r e an r d c i otahasr actually s t i u 7 n i a t g f h i l t yt a h h n ae y d bßa B w at officer. The Court granted a rule on the first point. NINA V. ARTHUR. Mr. Sergeant BYLES applied for a rule to show cause why tlke bill of exceptions, tendered in this case before the late Mr. Justice Coltman, 'on behalf the defendant, should not be referred to the Judges of this court to be settled, and why there should not be a new trial. The case had been before the Court on former occasions ; the first time it went town for trial, there was a verdict for the defendant ; a new trial having been granted, it was tried a second time on the 17th of January last, be fore Mr. Justice Coltman, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff—damages, 1501. A bill of exceptions was terdered by the defendant, and a summons taken out before Mr. Justice Coltman to stay proceedings until it was setts d. On the 13th of March, the defendant having settled the bill of exceptions, delivered it to the plaintiff, who kept it until the 20th of June—a period of three months—when he returned it with a great many alterations. The plaintiff became afterwards anxious to proceed, and took out a summons returnable before Mr. Justice Coltman, to show cause why he should not be at liberty to issue execution; but in the meantime, and t the regret of everybody who knew him, the Learned Judge was deprived of life, and slice then defendant had not been able to proceed in the usual course with the bill of exceptions. The Learned Coons( 1 referred to the case of " Newton v. Boodle," in which an application similar to the present was granted. The aiut t granted a rule to show cause. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. In consequence of the absence of the alderman on the rota, the public and the gentlemen of the legal profession were kept waiting until twenty minutes to one o'clock, when Mr. Alderman Moon happened to call in, and was asked to proceed with the charges. The worthy Alderman said that it was not his week . o be on duty, but he would stay until one o'clock, and must then leave to transact important business. He accordingly heard the first charge, and then left at one, when, after waiting about 25 minutes, and no alderman appearing, a messenger was dispatched to the Mansion house to request the sitting alderman there to come and di-pose of the business. Mr. Alderman Carden, who sat for the Lord Mayor, kindly consented to do so, and thus did double duty; sod, the charges being numerous, the business of the justice room was not concluded until between half past four and five o'clock. The above is not a solitary instance, for every day last week the public were placed in the same situation for several hours. Mr. Hugh Swan, late of 59, [Ugh street, Camden town, and 15, Hanway-street, Tottenham. court-road, draper, dealer and chapman, was brought up on a warrant in custody, charged with falsifying his ac counts, and destroying a portion of them (he being a bankrupt), with intent to defraud his creditors. • Mr. Jones, of Sise-lace, solicitor, appeared to con !fact the case; and Mr. Reed, solicitor, defended the prisoner. Mr. Jones said that the present proceedings against the prisoner were taken under the sth and 6th Viet., c. 122. sec. 34, relating to bankruptcy cases, wherein it was stated that if any person "shall destroy, muti late, or falsify any accounts, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanour.' It would appear that on the 27th of April, in the present year, the prisoner became a bankrupt, and on the 16.11 of May he was examined und.er the fiat. At that examination his statement was taken down, and he signed all the sheets. It would not be necessary at present to read the whole of the evidence, but only these parts where he confessed that he had destroyed certain docummts relating to his property. Mr. Reed objec'ed to the present proceedings, as the Act on which the prisoner was being prosecuted had been repealed by a subsequent one, which came into operation a fortnight after the warrant was issued. the of of the two Acts was, that although a person might be apprehended under the former Act, he must be indicted under the latter. Under the latter he might be indicted for an offence committed under the former Act, provided it came within a certain description. The clause which repealed the former was, " except 48 to offences subject to penalties ;" but it said nothing about indictable offences, and therefore he contended, that as the prisoner had not incurred any pecuniary penalty, he could not be indicted under either Act. Mr. Jones observed, that the new Act was a conso lidation of the Bankruptcy Act, and contained the very same clauses as the old one. Besides, he under stood the word " penalty" to mean not only a peen eiary fine, but a punishment. A man who was punished for an indictable offence was said to undergo the penalty of the The Chief Clerk informed the Alderman that the objection was untenable, for the repealing clause -xcepted from its operation not only proceedings ,mmenced for the recovery of penalties, " but all other proceedings," and although there wise a great deal of ambiguity in the clause, yet it showed that it was the intention of the Legislature to keep alive the former Act. Alderman Moos said the case had better go on. Mr. Frank Austin, clerk and usher to Mr. Com missioner nose ' said he knew the prisoner Hug h Swan, and produced the depositions taken at his exa mination when he was made a bankrupt. John Edward Larchet, clerk to Mr. Jones, of Sise lane, said that on the 16th of May, 1849, he was present when the bankrupt was examined at the Court of Bankruptcy, and saw the depositions signed w the prisoner on declaration. Ile signed twelve sheets. Ihe depositions were of great length, but orly in extract sufficient to justify a remand was read. It went to show by the prisoner's own answers before the Commissioner that he had irregularly sold part of his stock by sending it to an auction- room and making no entry in his books of how it was di-posed ot; that he only kept a memorandum, which he destroyed on receiving the money upon the goods so sold. Mr. Jones thought he had shown enough to jus tify the Alderman in granting him a remand. Mr. Reed contended that nothing as yet had been proved to warrant such a course, and he was about arguing the question again, when Alderman MooN said, that it was not for him to decide points of law, but to hear such evidence as would satisfy him that a further investigation was requisite. He was of that opinion, and therefore should remand the prisoner until Wednesday. Mr. Reed hoped the Alderman would take bail. Alderman MooN replied that it must be good bail; himself in 3001. and two sureties in 2501. each. The bail not being forthcoming he was conveyed to the Compter. Edward Sutton, between 50 and 60 years of age, was brought up for final examination, charged with fecoying a young girl, named Louisa Rogers, aged 18, from her home, and also stealing a watch and a tew trinkets, value from 2/. to 31. It appeared that on Saturday week last Mr. Rogers missed tis daughter, and after a great deal of anxiety, and making inquiries in oil directions, he discovered that she had been married by licence that morning to the prisoner, wh.im she had seen but a few times, and who was about going to America. His daughter having lately suffered from fever, and n ,t being quite right in her mind, and the m irri: , ga not having been consummated, he gave the prisoner into custody for the purpose of seeing if the magistrate could not interfere and prevent his daughter leaving the country with such a man. In consequence ot the reports which appeared in the newspapers, the real ssite of the prisoner came forward, whom he had deserted about 18 months ago, leaving her with five or six children, and the case was further adjourned for the production of the necessary evidence to establish the charge of bigamy. Mr. Beard, from the office of Mr. Buchanan, soli citor in Basingball-street, appeared, as on the former occasion, to defend the prisoner. Amelia Webb, of Randley-mews, Pimlico, deposed. that she and her late husband were present at St. Martin's Church, St. Martin's •in-the-Fields, on the . 16:h of Jtine, 1824, when the prisoner was married , to her sister (then in court). Tier name was Anne Ed• Nerds, and she signed her name as a witness of the rriage. Thomas Quarterman produced a correct copy of the cez tificate• of marriage between Edward Sutton and Arne Edwards on the day named. In answer to questions put by Mr. Alderman CARDEN, the witness said he knew the prisoner well, £nd he and his wife had a family of eleven children. ye was a good husband at one time, but of late years had turned out very ill, and he left his wife &bout eighteen months ago. Alderman CARDEN—Has she seen him since ? Witness—Yes, about a month ago. Alderman CARDEN—And who has supported the children ? Witness—Why, the son. Alderman CARDEN—How many are there ? Wit ness—There are six alive. Louisa Rogers, a rather good-looking young woman, said she had known the prisoner about three weeks, and was married to him at St. Dunstan's Church by licence on Saturday week, and a Mr. Edgier, of No. 6, Apollo court, was present as a witneo, Alderman CA.RDIIN—MW oaten have you seen him ? Miss Rogers—Four times. Alderman CARDEN—When did he make the first proposal of marriage ? Miss Rogers—On Tuesday three weeks. Ile made two offers. Quarterman also produced the certificate of this marriage. In answer to questions put by Mr. Beard, Miss Rogers replied that she never asked the prisoner to marry her. It was he who proposed. She never said she was over twenty-one years of age, and that she should like to go to New York. Chief Clerk—When were you to go to New York? Miss Rogers—On Tuesday fortnight. Quarterman stated, for the information of the Alder man, that after the prisoner deserted his wife he went to New York, and lately returned, bearing a letter to Mr. Rogers from one of his brothers, and it was during the few visits he paid to the house that he contrived to persuade the daughter to elope with him By the ALDERMAN — I am sure I did not tell him I was of age ; but he told me to tell the clergyman 1 was, which I would notelo, and he answered for me. The above questions relative to her age, and whe ther she had not told the prisoner she was twenty one, were asked, as there was another charge of perjury, for he could not have got the licence without swearing the person he was about to be united to was of age. However, the Alderman thought the case of bigamy so proved that there was no occasion to enter into further charges. William Edgier deposed to being present at the marriage on Saturday week, and being a subscribing witness. He resided at 6, Apollo-court, Fleet-street. fie went as her friend. Alderman CARDEN—By the consent of her father ? Edgier—lt was talked of, but I did not inquire. Alderman CARDEN—Why not ? Edgier—They asked me, as Mr. Rogers would not give his consent. Alderman CARDEN—lndeed. Have you a family of your own ? Edgier—l have. Alderman CARDEN—And daughters ? Edgier—l have. Alderman CARDEN—Then what would you say or do if one of your daughters had been thus inveigled away ? Edgier—l know I have acted wrong, but I did not think so at the time. Alderman CARDEN—You ought to regret the step you have taken in the affair as long as you live, and leave you to your own reflections John Cowdroy, clerk at St. Dunstan's Church, pro duced the registry- book, wherein the prisoner had signed his name, and his handwriting was identified both by his sister-in-law and by Mr. Edgier, who saw him write it. It was different from his former name, so far as regarded his Christian name, for it was written in full—Edward Joseph Sennett Evans Sutton. The sister-in-law, Mrs. Webb, proved that he had been called by all those names. This being the whole case, Alderman CARDEN said, that it was a most cruel and diabolical act of the prisoner, after living with a wife so many years, to then desert her and his children, and induce a young girl—young enough to be his grand-daughter—to leave her parents' roof to follow him, more particularly when it was considered that she was not yet recovered from the effects of the attack of fever which she had had. He thought the prisoner had acted most cruelly, and he stood com mitted fur trial. He was conveyed to Newgate. WOR S,HIP- S.TREET. 9 . A middle aged Man, named Robert - Carson, late hook-keeper in the service of Messrs. Thomas and John Robinson, extensive silk-mauufacturers in Fort street, Spitalfields, was placed at the bar, charged, firstly, with stealing various sums of money, in the whole amounting to about 1251. ; secondly, with stealing a piece of velvet, ten yards and a half in lenv.th, value 3/ ; and thirdly, upon suspicion of having stolen 120 lb. weight of undyed silk, of the ' value of 150/. the property of his employers. Mr. Thomas Robinson stated that the prisoner had been in the service of their firm for a considerable period, and it formed part of his duties to pay their wages to the weavers and workmen in their employ. The utmost confidence was reposed in him by hitnselt and partners, and not the slightest suspicion was en tertained of his integrity until a few des3s ago ; when an accidental discovery was made of some ieregulari ties in his accounts, in consequence of which tee pii soner's hooks were subjscted to a close scrutiny, and the result of this was such as could le eve no doubt whatever that he had been robbing them for a long time past, and to a very serious extent. There was a general practice amongst firms in the trade to advance each Saturday morning, a portion of the money to which weavers of both sexes would • be entitled on the completion of the work they had in their looms, which enabled the poor people to support their fami lies in the interval, and it was the prisoner's business when he paid these amounts to post them to the re spective weavers accounts and charge them against the house. _lt was discovered upon examination, however, in a great ' , umber of cases, that although he had entered the sums in his cash book as though he had paid them, he had not posted them against the workmen, which must have sooner led to his detection, and In a great many instances it was found that moneys he had charged the firm with as having been received by their servants had never been paid at all. He was then prepared to go into two cases of that description, out of at least 200 such that he could establish against the prisoner,. in support of the first charge, if neces • sary, and the reason for making the third charge against him was this:—ln consequence of the pri soner's abstraction of the money the partners Mt anxious lest their loss should be greater than it then appeared, and the stock upon the premises was there fore inspected, when upon examining the room in which the undyed silk was deposited it was found that no less than 1201 b. weight of it had disappeared, which could not posibly have been used in the busi ness, and as no one but himself and the prisoner had access to that part of the warehouse, it was impossible to account for its going but upon the supposition that the prisoner had taken it. Sergeant Teakle stated, that upon the prosecutors discovering the prisoner's falsification of his books to conceal the course he had pursued, he was employed to investigate the matter, and on the disappearance of the raw silk being ascertained, it was also found that the 10i yards of velvet which formed the sub ject of the second charge had likewise gone. The velvet had been cut oil' a piece, and on the prisoner being asked if he knew anything about it, he posi tively denied all knowledge of the velvet, but the errand-boy entered at the time the prisoner was being questioned,and going straight to some boxes deposited in one of the corners, drew the velvet from beneath the undermost box, and challenged the accused with having secreted it there. The prisoner at once ac knowledged that he had done so, and at the same time confessed that he had intended to send it off to Derby, to which town lie had sent other pieces of silk upon previous occasions, but though he likewise acknowledged to him that be had malversated his employers' money, he strenuously denied that he was at all aware of the means by which the large quan tity of unwsought silk that had been stolen had dis appeared. Two witnesses, named Hall and Gammon, work men in the prosecutor's service, were next examined, and proved that no such sums as 2/. and 1/., entered in the prisoner's books, as having be en p a id t o th em on account of his employers on the 14th and 22d of September last, had ever been received by them, and the sergeant having asked for a remand to enable him to establish other cases against the accused, the pri soner, who appeared very desponding, but offered no observations in answer to any of the charges, was remanded till that dey week. Mr. Thomas Kimbell, a watchmaker and jeweller in Tottenham-court road, whcse first examination appeared in our paper of Friday last, was brought up for final hearing on Saturday, charged with felo niously intermarrying with one Mary Anne Batts, his first wile, Elizabeth Kimbell, being then and still alive. The charge, which develo; ed an extraordinary case of mistaken identity, was preferred at the instance of the first wife, who stated that she had been obliged to seek relief from the parish in consequence of being discarded by her husband in favour of another woman, and that having since obtained incontestible evidence that he was actually married to this person, she was determined to press the charge against him and pro secute him to the utmost. A certificate of the first marriage having been put in, proving that it had been solemnized at Crediton, in Devonshire, Sept. 16, 1840, Mary Wreford, the wife's sister, proved that she was a subscribing witness to it, and the evidence as to the alleged second mar riage was then gone into. In support of this Robert Carter, sexton of St. Mary's, .Norton-folgate, was called, and stated that he waa present at the marriage f the prisoner to one Sarah Anne Batts, which took THE MOUNTAINS OF ASIA. The mountains of Asia take precedence of al! others its altitude awl length of range. The mean height of the Himalaya is stupendous. Captain Gerard and his bro•her estimated th d it could not b.- less than 16,000 to 20 000 feet; but from the averag, elevation of the passes over these mount sins, Baron Humboldt thinks it must be under 15,700, Co lonel Sabine e:tinaates it to be only 11,510 feet, though the peaks exceeding thd eleva tion are not to be numbered, especially at the sources of the Sutl , j. Indeed, from that river to the Kalee, the chain exhibits an endless succession of the loftiest mountains on earth ; forty of them surpass the heights of Chimborazo, one of the highest of the Andes, and several reach the height of 25,000 feet a' least. The valleys are crevices - so deep aced narrow, and the mountains that hang over them in menacing cliffs are so lofty, that these abysses are shrouded in perpetual gloom, except where the rays of a ver tical sun penetrate their depths. From the steepness of the descent the rivers shoot down with the swift ness of an arrow, filling the caverns with foam and the air with mist. Most of the passes over the Himalaya are but little lower than the top of ' Mount Blanc; many are higher, especially near the Sale), where they are from 18 000 to 19,000 feet high; and that north-east of Khoonawur is 20,000 feet above the level of the sea, the highest that has been attempted. All are terrific, and the fatigue and suffering from the rarity of the air in the last 500 feet is not to be described. Animals are as much distressed as human beings, and many of them die; thousands of birds perish from the violence of the rsinds ; the drifting snow is often fatal to travellers, and violent thunder-storms add to the horror of the journey. The Niti Pass, by which Mr. Moorcroft ascended to the sacred lake of Manasa, in Tibet, is tremendous; he and his guide had not only to walk barefooted, from the risk of slipping, but they were obliged to creep ulong the most frightful chasms, holding by twigs and tufts of grass, and sometimes they crossed deep and awful crevices on a branch of a tree, or on loose stones thrown across. Yet these are the thoroughfares for commerce in the Himalayas, never repaired, nor susceptible of improv inent, from frequent landslips and torrents. The lof Hest peaks, being bare of snow, give great variety of colour and beauty to the scenery, which in these passe s is at all times magnificent. During the day, the stupendous size of the mountains, their interminable extent, the variety and sharpness of their forms, and, above all, the tender clearness of their distant outline melting into the pale blue sky, contrasted with the deep azure above, is described as a scene to wild and wonderful beauty. At midnight, when my riath of stars sparkle in the black sky, and the pure blue of the mountains looks deeper still below the pale white gleam of the earth and snowlight, the effect is of unparalleled sublimity ; and no lan itugge can describe the splendour of the sunbeams o• daybreak streaming between the high peaks, and throwing their gigantic shadows on the mountains below. There, far above the habitation of man, no living thing exists, no sound is hoard ; the very echo of the traveiler's fOotsteps startles him in the awful solitude and silence that reigns in these august dwellings of the everlasting snow.—Blackwoocts ilagazine. THE WEST JERSEY TORNADO.—A Bridgeton paper of Wednesday furnishes some further particulars con ceroing the tornado that swept over Cape May on the 4th inst. It made its appearance about five o'clock, A.M., travelling from the west towards the east. From the effects of the wind upon a corn field below Jonas Corston's house, it is believed that two currents of air, one from the north-west and the other from the south west, met together, and after meeting moved eastwardlv, literally tearing in pieces everything in its track of 50 yards in width. Fields of corn. fences. trees, barn:, dwelling-houses, everything, were as straws in the hands of a giant. A large new house, occupied by Joseph Godfrey, was blown prostrate to the ground, although his family, consisting of his wile and two children, miraculously escaped without msterial injury. The house of Joas Corston was raised off its foundation, tarred over twice, and then torn into a thousand pieces. from where the house up to d o e d a - I . : , 1 this house were two women—one, the wife of Mr. Corston, was taken dtahbeouotthtehri,rtynaymaredds Eunice Young. bister of Mr. 5 ' Corston, was . mangled in such a horrible manner * that there . is no hope of . her recovery. The next house d Somers Young. This was aess"troyed b was . occupied by house, but not one pieceof timhe o r ng- built two-story . was left standing upon another. The wife of Mr. Young, with tw c hild re n, were sleeping in the first story of the house. youngioue' Although her bedstead was broken to pi eces and - th e bed blown from under them they escaped unhurt. The second story was occupied by a woman and he r daugh ter, who were fo und in the ruins of the building, con. siderably, but not dangerously, cut and bruised. Several outbuildings, shops, and barns were torn down . . A large two-story house, occupied by Wathington Wdlets, NOVRAIBER 6 1849 place at the above church on the 29th of November, 1847, when the prisoner was married in the name of Thomas James Kimbell ; and although his voice appeared slightly altered, and his whiskers were not now quite so full as upon that occasion, he felt per fectly satisfied that he was the same person. Mr. Sidney, solicitor for the defenee, said he was instructed to give a total denial to the charge, which had solely originated in the exasperated feelings of the prisoner's wife, from whom he had been obliged to effect a separation in consequence of repeated acts of misconduct on her part; and to prove the remark able mistake which had been made in the identity of his client, be had then in attendance the very persons who were actually married upon the last occasion , referred to. A young man named Thomas James Kimbell, an optician in Hatton-garden, was then called, and proved that he was married at St. Mary's, Norton-folgate, on the day in question, to his wife, Sarah Anne Batts, who was now present, and produced the certificate to that effect he received at the time. The sexton Carter was a subscribing witness, and Carter had also acted, in the same capacity at the subsequent marriage of his wife's bridesmaid, at which the witness likewise attended. Carter was thereupon recalled, to see if he had any recollection of the lait witness, and after closely scru- tinising him, said that though he could not charge his memory with the particular occasion, he had certainly seen him somewhere. The young woman who had also been mistaken for Sarah Ann Batts, otherwise Mrs. Kimbell, and who stated that shy merely lived with the prisoner in the capacity of shopwoman, was next called, and com pletely negatived the fact that she had been married to the prisoner, and this was also confirmed in some measure by the sexton himself, who acknowledged that he had never seen her before in his life. The MAGISTRATE said that after the evidence he had now heard he considered the case bad been com pletely answered, and he should, therefore, order the prisoner to be at once liberated. Mr. Sidney thereupon said, that as the charge against his client had obtained extensive publicity through the newspapers, he trusted that an equal publicity would be given by the representatives of the press to the thorough exculpation he had been enabled to give. His client was a highly respectable trades man, and a charge of so flagrant a nature, without its satisfactory refutation, was calculated to be of very serious prejudice to him. The prisoner also com plained of the annoyance and injustice he had been groundlessly subjected to, and expressed his intention not to let the matter rest where it did. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. NAVAL AIDE.DE-CAIIY TO THE QUEEN. We have great pleasure in announcing that the Queen, on the nomination of the Admiralty, has ap pointed Captain the Hon. Henry John Rous, to be one of the naval aides .de• camp to her Majesty, vice Berkeley, promoted. " The Hon. Henry John Rous, born January 23, 1795, is second son of John, first Earl of Stradbroke, by his second wife, Charlotte Maria, daughter of Abraham Whittaker, Esq., and brother and heir pre sumptive of the present peer. His half-sister (his father's only child by his first marriage) is the widow of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir henry Hotham, G.C.8., G.C. M. G. " This officer entered the navy January 28,' 1808, as first class volunteer, on board the Royal William, Captain the Hon. Courtenay Boyle, flag-ship of Sir Gaorge Montagu, at Portsmouth. In February, 1809, he removed to the Repulse, 74, Captain the Hon. Arthur Kaye Legge ; and in the following .Novetn bzr, after having al:eat - led the e::hibition to Flushing, I) , :;ziine niid , -.lipTnii of the Vir:tocy, 100, bearing the riv: of Sir Ja:nes Satinaa , :-A, in the Baltic. He joined next, in March, 1811, the Tonnant, 80, Capt. Sir John Gore, employed off Lisbon and in the _ _ Channel; and from December 26, in the same year, until promote 1, May 18, 1814, to the rank of lieute nant, he served on the Mediterranean station in the Bacchante, 38, commanded by the late Sir William lloste. On the night of August 31st, 1812, he assisted in the boats under Lieutenant Donat flenehy O'Brien, at the cutting out from the port of Lema of seven vessels laden with ship timber for the Venetian Government, together with La Tissiphone, French national xebec, of one 6-pounder, two 3 - pounders, and 28 men, one gun-boat, with a 9 pounder, two 3-pounders, and 24 men, and another of one 9-pounder and 20 men, intended for the protection of the trade on the coast of Istria, from Pola, to Trieste. He next, Jan. 6.1813, united in a successful attack made by the boats of the Bacchante and Weasel sloops, on five of the enemy's gun-vessels, in the neighblurheod of Otranto ; on May 15 following he assisted at the canture and destruction of the castle and batteries of Karlebago, mounting two long 12- pounders, and two brass s's ; and on June 12 in the same year he commanded the Bacchante's yawl, and was highly spoken of for his conduct at the capture from under the town of Gela Nova, on the coast of ribruzzo, of seven large gun-boats, mounting each one long 18-pounder in the bow, three smaller gun vessels with a 4-pounder in the bow, and fourteen sail of merchantmen, four of which also had guns in their bow. The British, as they advanced, were exposed to a heavy fire of grape and musketry ; and it was not until they were fairly alongside the gun-boats that the crews of the latter slackened their fire ; they were then driven from their vessels with great loss, The shore astern of the assailed was at the commence ment lined with 100 troops, who, however, fled on the first fire, leaving behind them two field pieces, which were destroyed by the marines under Lieutenant Haig. In performing this brillant exploit the boats of the Bacchante sustained a loss of 2 seamen and 1 marine killed, and 5 seamen and 1 marine wounded. In the ensuing night one of the merchant-vessels, laden with oil, of which Mr. Rous had been placed in charge, filled and upset, but did not, owing to the buoyancy of her cargo, go down. Although the wind was blowing strong, her commander and his prize crew were providentially enabled to hang on by the starboard gunwale from midnight until four A.M., when to their joy they were discovered and picked up by the sternmost vessel of the convoy, in charge of lion. Mr. Waldegrave, and under a press of sail for Lissa. In 1813-14, Mr. Rous was concerned in the operations connected with the capture of Rovigno, on the coast of Istria, the island of Le sina, and the strung fortresses of Cattaro and Ragusa. His appointments, immediately susequent to his promotion, were—August 4, 1814, to the Mmander, 38, C iptain John Bastard, with whom he served off Lisbon and in the Mediterranean until December, 1815 ; January 10, 1817, to the Conqueror, 74, flag ship of Rear-Admiral Robert Plampin at St. Helena ; and August 2 following, to the acting command on the same station, of the Podargus, 14. From that sloop, to which he was confirmed November 26, 1817, Captain Roils removed, January 25, 1818, to the Nlosquito. In the summer of 1819, he returned to England, and was paid off. His next appointments were, November 26, 1821, and February 9, 1822. to the Sappho, 18, and Hind, 20, on the Cork and Nlediterranean stations; he attained post rank, April 25, 1823 ; and he afterwards, from July 30, 1825, until August 25, 1829, and from November 17, 1834. until the close of 1835, commanded the Rainbow, 28, and Pique, 36. In tha former of those ships he visited the Last Indies, and discovered a river (to which he gave the name of Richmond) to the northward of Sydney, in New South Wales. The Pique, while he was in her, ran ashore on the coast of Labrador, was got off with great difficulty, and crossed the Atlantic without a rudder. In 1846, Cipt6in Emus filled a seat at the Board of Admiralty, lie had previously represented Westminster in Parliament."—aßyrne s Bioo-raphy. Commander Edmund M. Lyons, who was promoted in November, 1846, for his gallant conduct against the pirate:, when belonging to the Siren, in the Me diterranean, and who has since commanded the Pilot, 12, in the China seas, and has by his indefatigability, skill, sagacity, and gallantry, performed eminent service in suppressing piracy in the China seas, has been promoted to the rank of captain. lie is second and youngest son of Captain Sir Edmund Lyons, 13 art. Surgeon—John Andrews (a) (a), to be surgeon superintendent of the Eliza, convict sloop. Assisrant•Surgeons—John Rorie, acting, to the [mpreguabie, flig-ship at Devonport ; and James Johnstone, acting, to the Victory, flag-ship at Ports mouth. The Trident, 2, steam-vessel, Lieut.• Commander Rhk, arrived at Devonport on Sunday, with newly raised men, from Liverpool. The Shear water, steam vessel, Lieut.-Commander Tumour, was taken into No. 5 Dock, at Devonport, on Friday ; had her copper cleaned, and taken out on Saturday, when the Penguin was taken in the same tide. _ _ The death of Captain Francis Erskine Loch, R.N. (1814), Naval Aide.de-Camp to her Majesty, is reported here this afternoon. Captain Loch entered the navy on the Ist of September, 1799. When ,commanding the Sparrow brig he was actively em ployed at the siege of San Sebastian, and in 1814 sustained a partial action with the French frigates Sultane and Etoile, which were afterwards taken by the Hebrus and Hannibal. He commanded the Eden, 26-gun frigate, in the expedition under Sir Francis Augustus Collier, against the pirates at Ras al Khyina, in the Persian Gulf. He commanded her Majesty's ship Hastings, 74, and took the Earl of Durham to Quebec, and subsequently her Majesty Queen Adelaide for the Mediterranean. On the 19th of September, 1839, he was appointed to the Victory, then ordinary guard-ship in this harbour. He was afterwards superintendent of quarantine at Stangate Creek in the Medway, until that station was broken up. He was appointed Aide-de-Camp to the Queen on the 4th May, 1847. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 5.--THE SHARKIE STEAM FRIGATE IN EGYPT.—The estimation in which this splendid ship was held in England has met with its reverse in Egypt. It appears, by a letter from a naval officer at Alexandria, that the ship has been repre sented to Abbas Pasha as being both slow and weak in construction, as well as subject to many other faults; and hence a vessel which was the object of general admiration in this country is a despised and neglected one there. The speed this ship attained in England and on her passage out is a proof that one part of the complaint is untrue; no other steam-frigate nas worked the screw with so great success. The judgment of those who were most competent to form an opinion of the sufficiency of her general strength ,s quite at variance with that expressed of her in Egypt. And even since her arrival at Alexandria she has given proof that bot h the imputations are untrue, for she has had to put her power of speed to the test, and has been su b j ect to such an unfair distri bution of immense weig ht as no English officer would venture to try his ship by—mare than 4,500 large shot and shell were taken on board, and put up o n th e main-deck ( !), and a considerable number of heavy guns upon the upper deck, to depress the ship in the water for the purpose of trying her speed. In the trial then made with steam alone the greatest speed in running free was 10.0 kn o t s , an d aga i ns t a s tiff breeze it was 8 7 knots an hour. The complaints made against the ship appear a mere pretext to discredit Maharnined Bey with the present ruler of Egypt. His position has long been a source of envy to foreigners, who deemed him their rival in reputa tion and emolument, but who never could effectul.lly impugn him before the late venerable Viceroy. It is to be hoped Abbas Pacha will yet see through the artifice, and visit with his displeasure those who moat deserve it. The Lily and Fantome brigs were taken into the d ed; v icaied by tie Aetw 21>, tots morning , to be brought forward for commission. The Leander, 50, Captain S. C. Dacres, dropped down the harbour, to be swun g for the adjustment of her compasses to•day. The Serpent, 12, Commander Barker, put back this afternoon and brought up at St. Helen's. The Bishop of Hong-Kong and suite arrived this afternoon, and put up at the Quebec Hotel, the weather preventing their mit: katiun in the Sir George Pollock. Wind westerly, fresh gales, and squally weather. WOOLWICH, Nov. s.—The Styxlsteam•sloop is to be taken out of the basin to. day, end is under orders to proceed on Thursday next to Devonport, in charge of Lieutenant Robertson, of Captain Austin's depart ma'-nt. She is to remain at Devonport ready for ser vice on the shortest notice. The Fairy, Coimnandec Crispin, tender to tie Itoyal Victoria and Albert yacht, took on board a supply of co As on Sitturday afternoon, and is expectel to leave this afternoon. Her air-pump valves are to be al:ered, and canvas or vulcanized India rub', er valves substituted, the present valves making so much noise when working. :Messrs. Penn are to make the alteration, which, if effected here, will detain her about three weeks ; but in the event of the alteration being to be made . at Portsmouth, she will leave this afternoon. The Elfin, Master Commander 13alliston, has had her paddleboxes painted cream colour, which cor responds with the colour of the Victoria and Albert 3 acht. The Elfin is also expect,d to leave this af,er noon. Vessels in the Harbour—Fisgard frigate, Black Eagle, Lightning, Monkey, Advice and Jasper stcam vessels, and Inflexible steam frigate. The latter is to be taken into dock. In the Basins—Terrible steamirigate, Niger, Alecto, Hermes and Archer steam al. ops, Retribution steam frigate, and Vulcan troop-ship.

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of a morning contemporary : Sir, —Feeling your readiness at all times to correct any erroneous impressions calculated to prejudice the public mind, especially in the case to which i allude, as a brother of the unfortunate Frederick George Manning, I feel I should not be doing justice to myself, brother, and the rest of the family, should I not contradict a statement set forth in your columns of yesterday with respect to a previous marriage having taken place between my brother and a certain Mary Roberts, in the year 1832, at Marylebone Church, which statement would imply that he had been guilty of the crime of bigamy. I beg to state that he was born on the 20th of March, 1820, which will show the utter impossibility of such having taken place, as he could not have been, at the period of the marriage named by your correspondent, thirteen years of age.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, EDMUND MANNING. 30, Francis street, Newington, Nov. 5. THE THIRD DRAGOON GUARDS NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY.— A district court- martial has this day been sitting at the barracks for the purpose of trying Sergeant John Newman, who was in charge of the guard at the time private Moffatt escaped, early on the 28th of October, the morning of his intended trial for offences committed during the recent in subordination. Two sentinels are in custody for the same culpable negligence, but they will be dismissed after some slight summary punishment. The sen tence upon Sergeant Newman is, no doubt, of a more severe nature, but will not be made known until ap proved by the Commander-in-Chief. It was stated auout a week ago that the three men yet remaining to be tried for insubordination—But terworth, Ball, and Knox—would not be brought be fore general courts-martial, for which application had been made, on account of the Duke of Wellington not being willing to impute to them so severe a crime as trial by a general court-martial would imply. Up to two or three days ago this impression prevailed, but on Friday Major General Thorn, commander of tie north eastern district, visited Nottingham, and it was found that some mistake had been made in reading the Duke of Wellington's letter, for directly after wards the general courts were ordered, and will com mence sitting to morrow (Tuesday.) Whilst in Nottingham, Major-General Thorn made very particular inquiries respecting the threats that had been used by private Alfred Brooker—to the effect that the 3.1 Dragoon Guards hal made up their minds, previous to leaving Nottingham, to maltreat every policeman who fell into their hands, on account of some few members of the police force having assisted in apprehending several of the privates who broke from barracks. Finding the publi,he statement correct, the M +kir. General, accompanied by Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur and Major Dyson, visited the town authorities, and gave an assurance that every effort should be made to avert the threat ened collision, and to preserve the peace. The positive, but unnecessary and somewhat vexa tious injunction, not to publish any portion of the evidence taken at the five courts-martial held last week, still remains in force, and is likely so to con tinue for a few days longer. Mr. Bowley is retained to defend the three men to be tried to-morrow. One of them, Butterworth, is the man over whose head Sergeant Major Davis broke his sword. Re is charged with seizing the sergeant major, and holding him until a number of men had escaped from the Gate public-house on the night of the great out break. Davis entered the house with his sword drawn, and seeing a number of men there whom he -wanted, he exclaimed, " If any man stirs an inch I will run him through!" Butterworth having had some beerduring the short time he had been away from barracks, and being the strongest man in the regi ment, instantly jumped up, and seizing hold of the ❑aked sword, said, " Nay, Sergeant Major, you shall not hurt me, neither shall you run any of my com rades through." A struggle ensued, the Sergeant• Major struck him and broke his sword, and ulti mately he was thrown to the ground in rather an unceremonious manner. Butterworth is alleged to be an extremely well meaning man, though by this indiscretion he has rendered himself a first-class offender; and Knox and Ball, his accomplices, are similarly implicated. Three different members of the regiment have made formal charges against Lieut.-Colonel Arthur, which, of course, have been reported to the Horse Guards; but what will be the result of any inquiry into his conduct that may follow remains to be deter mined after all the courts-martial upon the refractory privates have been disposed of. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—According to previous arraugt merit, a meeting in reference to the intended ex hibition of the industrial produc7s of all nations, in,1851. took place in the Tosn hall, this afternoon. lli Worship the Ma) or presided, and the attendance was bath numerous and respectable. including as it did most persons of influence in and around Liverpool. On the part of his Royal highness Prince Albert, Messrs. Scott and Cole attendi.d, to explain the nature and objects of tho intended exhibition. The Mayor having opened the proceedings, Mr. Cole gave an outline 01 Prince Albert's plan for bringing together the best specimens of art and industry from all nations. Mr. Russell next addressed the meeting in reference to the favourable manner in which the matter had been taken up in foreign countries, and named the cheering recep tion he had met with in the several continental cities. especially in Germany and Prussia, the people of the f steer being most enthusiastic in their determination to support the undertaking. After Mr. Fuller had spoken of the cord:al manner in which the project was received in Ireland, Mr. Charles Turner addressed the meeting, and in the name of himself and the merchants of Liver pool, expressed their determination to forward the object which Prince Albert had in view, by every means in their power. Other gentlemen also spoke in favour of the project, and local committees were appointed to carry out the objects in view. ST. NICOLAr KIRCIIE, HAMBURCH.—Our readers are probably aware that Cie church of St. Nicholas, being one of the three churches either wholly or partially destroyed by the great fire of Hamburgh in 1812, is now being rebuilt on a sealy both of dimension and decors ration, nearly equalling many of the ancient cathedrals. The work, like its ancient predecessors, proceeds slowly and gradually as funds permit, but the eastern portions have now attained nearly to the full elevation of the aisles. The work, - though under the direction of an English architect, Mr. Scott, is carried out exclusively by German contractors and workmen, and has been superintended from its commencement by Mr. Mortimer, an excellent and talented English clerk of the works, who on 22d ult., while examining one of the springers of the groining which was inaccurately worked, was precipitated nearly 50 feet into the crypt of the church, and killed on the spot. The committee for the church, as a last tribute of respect and gratitude, gave him such a funeral as is usual among their most distinguished citizens. The workmen wished to attend en masse, but wt.re advised not to do so on account of the jealousy of the Prussian military at any large concourse of peop e. About sixty of them, however, afterwards went to :ne grave, and deposited upon it a rich and costly garland of evergreens and silk, on which was the following inscrip tion:—" To Mortimer, their master-builder, from the sorrowing stonemasons of St. Nicholas's Church." We have inserted the above particulars from a feeling that while such obituaries are usually accorded to persons of higher stations, it is hardly just to deny them to those who in humbler positions i,ave evinced an amount of • a'ent, zeal, and uncompromising devotion to their duties equally deserving of commemoration.—Builder. ~, I ~~
