Thc3 following is what Blickstone says on the subject of traversing :—" But it is not customary, nor agreeable to the general course of proceedings (unless by con sent of parties, or where the defendant is actually in gaol), to try persons indicted of smaller misdemeanors at the same Court in which they have pleaded not guilty or traversed in the indictment. But they usually give security to the Court to appear at the next assizes or sessions, and then and there to try the traverse, giving notice to the prosecutor of the same." From which we infer that no favour or affection has been shown to Mr. O'Connor or others by . allowing them to traverse till the next session or assize. It is a matter of usage, and therefore of right. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. crning minutes after 5 Evening 22 minutes after 5. !pit > Mt. LONDON TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 25, 1542. Both the Morning Post and the Globe have rl,:t:eed a great and unnecessary trouble which who are appointed to collect the Income te.7; inflicting on a great number of persons. Dv the 106th clause, relating " to the districts in wi;ich the duties are to be charged," it is enacted " th::t every person being a householder shall be charged to the duties contained in Schedule 1). by Commissioners for the parish or place where his dwelling-house shall be situate ;" " except every person engaged in any trade, manufacture, adventure, or concern, or any profession, em pluyment, or vocation, who shall be chargeable by the respective Commissioners acting for the parish or place where such profession, employ ment, or vocation shall be exercised." We do not .profess to he learned in construing the gib berish in which it pleases the Legislature to elethe and hide its will ; but as far as we can comprehend the words, spirit, and meaning of the clause, it applies, and is meant to apply, ex clu`iirety, to those persons who hare establish _,.qts for carrying on or engaging in any trade, ProFession, or vocation. It is not meant to apply to tl,c persons whom they may occasionally or I) , s l :;anently employ. It is meant, for example, to apply to the Ito has a shop in the Strand and a hone at Hampstead, and who makes his profits in °tie place and expends them in another, but not to the foreman or traveller he employs. It is ";Want to apply to the attorney who has eliam tcr, in Lincoln's Inn-fields and a villa at Putney, not to his clerks. It is meant to apply to the barrister whose place of busin ess i s the - Temple, , an: who lives in Bedford-square, that his return b o made to the Commissioners for the Tenlpie, and not to any and every p erson he may ocL,!sionally employ. It is meant, we believe, to apply to the partners in the house of Conrrs and Co., whose place of business is in the Strand, and whose palaces are in many counties, but not to the persons who arehired by them. But those who are collecting this tax take a different view of this clause; and they are now calling on persons who have no double establishments, who arc merely the servants receiving wages of those who carry on business, to make returns at the spot where they - • are employed. ma:. Oia this principle every shoprnall, every attor ney's clerk, who has the misfortune to be mar ried and live in a house, at a different plaee from where lie is employed, will be called on to make two returns of his income,and probably may be as sessed under both; and if he have not 150/. a year, w ill have to recover back the double charge, after a ()Teat' loss of time and temper, as he best can. Th e tax is bad enough of itself, but this strained interpretation of its plain intent will add. prOdi-. . to fislrearation, and compel-many hun a • ~., .. ~/... , . • 1. -- '....; ' .... ~... • ..' s , ...• • , ~ , , ~., . c...E„, N, ', -.,, .. ,,, N .: s ih , . •-• "...... i s " .'s--,.,11 it --jr.,-ip . . , e ,.... ita .,, ,. .„ fi r . -.,,.... ,4,. .... t 47 , t0 , ,;4 - -.. . , -; . - 110... , ' - ::- • - ..„, ~ , - _ dreds of those who have not 1501. a year to go through the harassing process of establishing their exemption in two places. Such a mass of trouble and annoyance to gather a sum not equal to the Malt tax or the Sugar duties, of the vexa tious collection of which nobody ever hears, was never before inflicted on any people. Happily for the public this will fall on the electors, and if they tolerate it, they will have no persons to blame but themselves. The hardship of persons being called on in the middle of October to make a second return, after they have been obliged to make one in Sep tember, is so well put by the Post, whose ob servations we have transferred to our columns, that it would be superfluous to add a word on the subject. We will only say that, like the Globe, we can confirm the statement of the Post, and affirm that the strained interpretation of the clause we have pointed out will reach a number of persons who have not till now dreamed that they would ever be subjected to such a pro digious annoyance. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, following up the war lie waged so perseveringly, albeit equally unsuccessfully, against the Mines and Collieries Bill, has published a letter to Lord Asti'.Ey, M.P., in which he renews his attacks. The Noble Marquis has reproduced most of the de bates on the subject in the House of Lords, and has garnished them with sundry observations and documents, the latter of which have not before been brought under the notice of the public. Whatever may be thought of the lan guage used by the Noble Marquis, all impartial men will admit that he makes out a strong case against the Commissioners, Sub-Commis sioners, and the bulk of the persons anxiou s to pass the Bill, from Lord ASHLEY down to the lowest sub of the Commission. Haste, in temperance, and exaggeration are visible in all their sayings and doings, combined with no small degree of ignorance. For the first time in their lives, most of the gentlemen became acquainted with the interior of a mine or a colliery, and the horror they experienced in consequence of their ignorance they communicated to the public. The deed, however, is now done, the law has been passed, and there has been an insurrection amongst the colliers, which will not be the last. Lord ASHLEY'S Bill has applied the match to the long-smouldering discontent of that burly, sincere, but not very enlightened class of men. Lord LONDONDERRY, towards the conclusion of his pamphlet, gives the following summary of the whole proceedings : My Lord, I have again and again said this subject has been handled with great indecency, from first to last. It was born in caprice, and not in consequence of the necessity of the case; it was carried on in a manner that would not stand an hour in a Court of Justice, inasmuch as the evidence was that of the plaintiffs, the defendant being out of court, and not out by choice, but out by force, by cunning, by con trivance. It was concocted, as its own pages record, on testimony to be taken with reservation, the wit nesses not being trustworthy in many cases; it was based in its principles, and carried out by men whose fitness for the office they were charged - with is more than doubtful. Taking, then, all these things to gether, I cannot resist saying that it is to me a sub. ject of extreme sorrow and disgust, that so serious a matter should have been thus unfairly dealt with; so precipitately carried on, with such reprehensible— indeed I may say such disgraceful blunders—blunders, the number and quality of which astonish every person in the slightest degree acquainted with these proceedings. It is not 'very often that we have the honour to agree with a Tory Lord Lieutenant, who did us the honour to quote some of our argu ments in the House 'of Lords, and our coin cidence on this occasion goes far to establish the truth of our conjoint opinion. Whatever motives may be imputed to the Noble Marquis, we know that ours are free from every taint. We have heard with much satisfaction that the Liberals have taken it into consideration, how they can best publicly express their ad miration of the noble conduct of Miss MAR TINEAU. Labouring under sickness, and not being in affluence, this spirited lady, who has by her writings done so much to enlighten her countrymen, declined to receive one of those pensions which other literary characters seek as an honourable reward. She has acted well up to the Liberal principles she has professed, and ' has redeemed them from the reproach and scandal brought on them by others, who have made them but a handle to their own advance ment. We have published her excellent letter, the sentiments of which will be so generally read and applauded, that any recommendation from U 3 is entirely superfluous. That this lady has set the almost unprecedented example of refusing to touch the public money when it was offered her, should excite deep gratitude in the whole body of the tax payers. It will make many others ashamed of being less con sistent, and less nobly independent, and will dry up many a source of profligate expenditure. We trust, therefore, that suitable means will be devised to express, in the most honourable and feeling manner, the public approbation of Miss MARTINEAU'S conduct; and that the whole world, and all posterity, may be taught that public virtue amongst a virtuous people will assuredly meet its appropriate reward. We will suggest nothing further than to say that Miss MARTI-. NEAU, who has evidently consulted only her own upright heart, and not had the public approba tion in the distant prospect, ought not to expe rience the slightest pecuniary difficulty by her patriotic self-denial. With good taste, and with much public spirit, the National Association yesterday evening gave a tea party and festival at their Hall, in honour of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, the Member for Finsbury, the firm friend of the liberties of the people. Between three and four hundred per sons, including many ladies, were present, and the Chair was occupied by Colonel THOMPSON. After some spirited and just eulogies pronounced by the Chairman and Dr. EPPS on ,Mr. DUN COMBE, that gentleman expressed his gratitude for the kindness shown him in an able and elo quent speech. He proved in his own person, as we hope will yet be proved in the case of Miss MARTINEAU, that public virtue is rewarded by public honour, and that when public men have complained of the caprice and desertion of the people, they have themselve s , first of al de serted the public cause.. Mr. BUNCOMBE made a point of denouncing, as it deserves, the rabid partisan oration of Lord ABINGER which he de livered from the judgment-seat, and which is so little like what a charge to a Grand Jury ought to be. Lord ABINGER, being both a le gislator and a Judge, must, or, at least, ought to have known, Mr. DUNCOMBE observed, that the people were plun;ed into the deepest distress, and as a Judge he falsely repre sented their condition in order to conceal his-Rr rors and his faults as a lawmaker. His . chatage might be very acceptable, Mr. DUNCOMBE Ob served, to the recreant Sir JAMES GRAHAM, but it is a perversion of the functions of the Judge, Which offends all upright men, and tends to bring the administration of the law into contempt. If* it have been correctly reported, of which there is no doubt, it is impossible, Mr. DUNCOMBE said, that the House of Commons should be assembled many days without having that charge seriously and solemnly brought under its notice. If .no : other Member undertake the task Mr. Dux- COMBE pledged himself to do it, and the an- • nouncement, as well as every censure he applied to the Judge, was followed by general and enthu siastic cheers. This was expected from Mr. BUNCOMBE, and he will make good his pledge. As long as the electors of Finsbury keep him in the House of Commons, the people will not want one honest and faithful servant, and we consider the flattering reception he met with as a sure augury of hiS Success in his undertaking. He will be supported by public opinion. We must conclude by saying that the festival was conducted to the end by the veteran Chair man in a manner equally satisfitetory to the com pany and the gentleman they met to honour. LORD GILT.IES.—W e under s t a nd th a t Lord Dillieshas been seriously indiSposed at Cheltenham, where he had gone for the benefit of his health.

THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE. The tragedy of King John, from the text of Shakspeare, was revived at this theatre last evening, with all that minute attention to the proprieties of costume and scenery for which the management of Mr. Macready is so deservedly famed. Mr. Macready himself was, of course, King John. This was the first Shaksperian character in which he made a decided impression on a London audience—well do we re member the night, now some twenty years since, on which he first appeared in the character, and from that night he made the character his own. It is still, we think, his best Shaksperian delineation. lie thoroughly comprehends his author's meaning, and embodies his comprehension with intense feeling and power. In the earlier scenes he was every inch a king, and never were the vacilla tions, the weaknesses, and the agonies of a half villain more effectively pourtrayed than they were by him in the scenes with Hubert in the latter part of the play. Mr. Anderson was the Faulconbridge, and, although he lacked much of the abandoyz and of the graceful ease which we were wont so much to admire in the Faulconbridge of Charles Kemble, yet we know not where, in these degenerate days, we should find a better. Mr. Anderson is a man of talent and of taste, and should be able to distinguish between " honest bluntness" and " saucy roughness"— between the cool deportment of a man who knows not fear, and the swagger of one who fears his fear should be discovered. In general he did make this distinction, but there were times when, afraid of under acting, he somewhat over-acted the part. This is a fault, however, which he will no doubt mend, as he gets more used to the character. Mr. Phelps, as Hubert, had one of those parts which are exactly suited to him. Never have we seen a better Hubert. Poor Warde used to act Hubert with great power, but to all Warde's power Phelps adds a depth of feeling of which Warde was incapable. We were sur prised and delighted by the Lady Constance of Miss H. Faucit. highly as we appreciated her powers in deli neating the tender and pathetic, we doubted whether she would be capable of pourtraying the majesty of grief, which is the prevailing feature of the character of Lady Constance. Our fears, however, were needless. As dignified as any of her predecessors in the cha racter, Miss Helen Faucit was more beautifully pa thetic than any Lady Constance that has appeared of late years. She was excellently supported by little Miss Newcombe, as Prince Arthur. All the other parts were most efficiently filled, and the unity of the scene was consequently complete. The mise en scene was magnificent, and, take it alto gether, this is one of the most attractive of the Shak spearian revivals that has yet been brought forward. Macready, Anderson, Phelps, and Miss Helen Faucit, were successively called for, and the latter led on Miss Newcombe. The play was announced for repe tition twice a week, amidst loud applause. The house was crowded. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, MONDAY.—The Queen and Prince Al bert have taken pedestrian exercises twice to-day, morning and afternoon ; and the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal have been taken their usual air ings. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, after the morning walk, rode to Norfolk Farm, attended by Colonel Arbuthnot and the Hon. C. A. Murray, where the Prince had excellent sport. The Hon. and Rev. Edward Southwell Keppel took his departure from the Castle, this morning. The Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel and Sir Henry Wheatley arrived at the Castle on a visit to her Majesty. The Dowager Lady Lyttelton will have the honour of joining the Royal dinner circle this evening. The Privy Council appointed to be held by her Majesty at one o'clock to-morrow, the 26th inst., at Windsor Castle,has been put off until Wednesday the 2d November. Summonses announcing the post ponement of the Council were issued yesterday after noon to the Cabinet Ministers and the Great Officers of State. Sir Robert Peel arrived in town yesterday from his seat Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. Some of the Cabinet Ministers visited the Right Hon. Baronet after his arrival. Sir Robert left his residence in Whitehall-gardens in the afternoon on a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. M. Tricoupi, the Grecian Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town yesterday from Ryde, Isle of Wight. Dispatches from the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. Lord and Lady Hamilton Chichester, have returned to Farrance's Hotel from Belfast. BEESWING• We have been to Messrs. A.H. Bailey and Co., the publishers, for the purpose of viewing the picture of this mare, in their possession, painted by Mr. Her ring, sen., whose talents as an animal painter, and more especially of race-horses, has been so long be fore the public, that any observation from us would only be telling an hundred-times told tale. We have only the pleasing task to speak of what we have now seen. It strikes us to be very evident that Mr. Her ring, in this picture, has exerted his skill to the ut most to produce, not only a faithful portrait of this extraordinary mare, but to finish such a picture as perhaps is scarcely to be equalled in this country ; the symmetry of the mare is most faithfully delineated, and the condition is wonderful ; the satin-like effect of the skin is perfect, and, to use a racing phrase, she looks on the canvas fit to run for a man's life. It is to be:regretted that the noble-minded owner of this mare should have been so suddenly taken off the stage of human life, when he was so conspicuous a member. He was at all times an honour to the Turf, and always run to win ; he has been heard to say that the mare did not belong to him, but to the people ofNorthumberland. How delighted would he have been to have seen this portrait of his favourite ? We fancy we see him, and hear him also—for the sight of this picture would have been sufficient to have drawn from him an excellent and amusing speech of at least an hour long—we have often heard him at Doncaster and other places speak in the most humorous manner when asked if his mare run on the morrow. He would get up and assure the public that he was at all times anx ious to produce sport ; and that at all times, if his horses were fit, they were sure to start. There is a very good anecdote told of him and Mr. Robert Johnson. When Mr. Orde told him he had been persuaded to send the mare to Goodwood, Bob, in his dry way, observed--" I sant gang wi' her, thoo may gang thysen ; thoo had better let Sooth cum North to be beat wi' us, than gang there to be beat by them." EXPERIMENTS AT WOOLWICH. At half-past one o'clock yesterday, Colonel R. J. J. Lacy, Colonel G. Turner, C. 8., Major Strangways, Captain Palliser, Captain Grant, and a number of officers of the Royal Artillery, assembled in the marshes to witness experiments with a new descrip tion of brass gun, invented by Captain Grant, of the Royal Artillery. This handsome piece of ordnance has been con structed on a different principle from any hitherto used, and the result of the six rounds fired to-day have shown that it is admirably adapted for field-service. From the diameter of the bore being four inches and one-sixteenth of an inch, the gun has been denomi nated a light 9-pounder. It is so well-proportioned, however, that it weighs only 10 cwt. lqr. 81b., while the other 9-pounder guns at present in use weigh 131 cwt., at least, on the average. This is an advantage of some consideration, and will effect a great saving in metal, valued at 1831. per ton. But the most import. ant saving will be attained when used in exercise, and •in . field warfare, as there is a differ ence o f f u lly f o ur cwt. less in favour o f C ap t a i n G rant ' s b rass gun an d carriage; three-and-a-half cwt. nearly on the gun, one-half cwt. on the carriage and limber, and 341bs. less weight of po w d er w h en supplied with' 48 rounds of shot and ammunition. The firing took place . yesterday from a range of 1400 yards, and the first shot was fired at an eleva " tion of 3 degrees, and the recoil was 8 feet 9 inches, about the usual distance. The second shot was fired at an elevation of 3-, 1 - 3 degrees, and the recoil was then only 7 feet 9 inches. None of the r ema i n i ng shots exceeded in recoil 8 feet 2 inches, and number four only recoiled 7 feet 2 inches, while the whole of the balls, with one exception, reached the target, the other hav ing fallen about 100 yards short, probably Ow i ng t o the taking of the elevation. The saving in powder by Captain Grant's invention will be very considerable, being 111 b. on each time it is fired, his charges being •)-I . 1 lbs and the present charge 31bs. for guns of the 4 same calibre. It was thought by many that the in vention would be most likely to fail from too great recoil, but Captain Grant has so proportioned the metal, and with such correct judgment, that no fears are now entertained in that respect ; and from the elegance of the model, lightness, and at the same time ample strength of the carriage, it is likely to be in troduced into the service, and will be far easier of draught for the horses. ADELAIDE GALLERY.—An appar a t us was exni bited at the Adelaide Gallery last evening, for pre-H venting chimneys taking fire, and also for preventing the accumulation of soot. The apparatus is extremely simple, consisting of a case containing a number of sheets of wire gauze, which is introduced into the chimney a little above the fire. It is the invention of Dr. Atkins, one of the lecturers at the institution. This apparatus is similar in principle to the Davy lamp, as no flame can pass through the box, and as the sheets of wire gauze have a cooling tendency, all the carbon which may ascend is stopped by the box,_ and the soot thus prevented from accumulating in the chimney. We understand the cost of this apparatus does not exceed ss. bC r g _ amotrA4o. .§444At . ~ *rtonti/Zbition SUN OFFICE Three o'Cloch. We are delighted to perceive from Mr. DUN COMBE'S speech yesterday, at a meeting of the National Association, that the late discreditable Charges of Lord A BINGER at Liverpool and Chester are not likely to be soon forgotten or forgiven. If no one else, observed the Hon. Member for Finsbury, would bring them under the consideration of Parliament, he would do so. This is manly and straight-forward ; in fact, just the course of proceeding that might have been anticipated from a gentleman who, through evil and through good report, has ad hered unflinchingly to the popular cause, and supported it in the Senate with a zeal and ability that few have equalled, and none surpassed. Mr. COBDEN has also recorded his abhorrence of the obnoxious Charges in ques tion; many other Liberal Members arc known to entertain similar strong opinions on the subject; and greatly indeed shall we be surprised and mortified, if a large majority of the Whig, and the whole of the Radical, section in the House of Commons, do not read such a lesson to his Lordship as shall effec tually sicken him of delivering one-sided political homilies from the judgment-seat. Doubtless, Lord ABINGER—Iike other small men who are apt to assess their talents and influ ence at too high a valuation—thought that by formally recording his protest against Chartism, he would be crippling its energies, and putting it, as it were, without the pale of respectability; but if such were his notions, never was man more mistaken; he has shown by his Charges, not that the Chartists are reckless anarchists, but that he is a wilful Ignoramus; not that they are contemptible in point of num bers and ability, but that he is a bigoted alarmist. We by no means hold with all the six points of the Charter, which is, we think, in many respects unsuited to the wants of the pre sent day; but this we will say, that we have seen nothing in the document that in the slightest de gree justifies Lord ABINGER'S declaration, that it strikes at the root of the monarchy, and advocates a spoliation of property. But were it even otherwise, and as anarchical in its charac ter as it is simply impracticable, still, his Lord ship is not the man to extinguish it. It requires a Hercules to crush a Hydra. But to return to Mr. DUNCOMBE. Alluding to the conduct of the MELBOURNE Ministry, the Hon. Member for Finsbury observed, " Much blame is due, and justly due, to them. They were told, when in the zenith of their power, that they were not then making the most of their time, but that the reform which they had effected, was incomplete. They heeded not the warning, but talked of finality, and hung on the skirts of the Court, instead of supporting them selves on the strong arms of the People." There is but too much truth in these remarks. The Whigs, without absolutely arraying them selves against the People, yet neglected, when they had the power, to befriend them; and the consequences of this neglect have been, first their own irretrievable defeat; and secondly, the acces sion to office of a set of men whom circumstances have armed with all but despotic power, and whom it is necessary to watch With the utmost vigilance, inasmuch as they are by no means re markable for their Liberal tendencies. If it had not been for Whig supineness, we should no t now, among other blessings, have been saddled with a Tory Income-tax, and a locust-plague of tax-gatherers, a thousand times worse than all the Plagues of Egypt put together. The news foom Port Natal, of which we gave an abstract yesterday, will be found detailed at length in The Sun of this day, and will be read with lively interest. The intelligence in general is very satisfactory, though we ha ve t o regret the loss of many lives in this unfortunate affair with the Boers. Without including the sol diers shot when the landing was effected under Colonel CLOETE, there have been twenty-five killed and forty wounded, making a total, including prisoners and those miss ing, of eighty-six. The emigrant farm ers, however, seem now reconciled to their fate, and are making atonement f or th e i r ras h attempt by unqualified submission. They ha ve released all the prisoners, wheth e r so ldi ers or civilians, given up all the captured cannon, and restored all public and private property which they had seized. This is highly characteristic of these simple and honest people, and we re joice to find that this conduct is met with be ' coming kindness and forgiveness by the Go vernor at the Cape. He has granted a general amnesty, including th e i r l ea d er P RETORIOUS , persons who had of in fiv re e sisting the British takenwitlt thean active exception part troops—promised to defend them against the natives, and assured them that their lands shall not be interfered with till the determination of her MAJESTY'S Government is made known. That, we trust, will be equally liberal and humane. These people have many claims on the sympathy of our Colonial rulers. They left the Cape settlement owing, as it is well known, to their dissatisfaction with the laws and institutions of that colony, and occupied the territory where they are now located under the firm conviction that it did not belong to the British Government. If they had any doubts on the subject, was it likely that they would have given up their lands, and removed, at great expense, to a distant settlement where they might be again sub jected to the same treatment from which they had fled ? The disappointment felt when they found themselves still under British dominion excited them to madness, and forced them into an unequal and hopeless contest with this country. They have suffered the penalty, and it now remains for our Government to do them justice, make the amnesty complete, and allow them to retain their existing administration and civil institutions. Accounts from Lisbon, brought by the Liver pool steamer, which arrived at Falmouth yester day, state that Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN had had interviews with the Duke of PALMELLA and Senhor GOMES DE CASTRO upon the Tariff ques tion, and another meeting was expected soon to take place between the Commissioners. The Treasury bills on the Decima were expected shortly to come out; they were to be drawn for a year, and to bear interest at 71 per cent. per annum. The issue to be under the charge of the Board of Public Credit. It appears from a list of the paid up amount and selling price of the shares in the banks of Lisbon and Oporto, steam-boat, omnibus,-insur ance, fisheries, and other companies, that those of the Bank of Lisbon are at 175 dollars pre mium, and the Fideledade are at 15 per cent. premium. The Oporto Bank shares are a trifle below par; all the other companies are at a con siderable discount, and some, such as the fishery and earthenware companies, are at merely a no minal price. Great complaints were made of the proceed ings of M CAPACCTNI, as tending to excite schism and. disobedience to the constitutional bishops and clergy. The French Princes were daily expected at Lisbon from Brest. The Paris papers of Sunday, which had been delayed for several hours by the boisterous weatherin the Channel, have been received, and, as might have been expected, some of them express great indignation at the article in the Journal des Debits on Lord ABERDEEN'S letter. The Commerce and the National are quite furious on the subject, and seem quite at a loss to con ceive how a Frenchman can defend, or even palliate, the conduct of the British Government. " The Journal des Debits," says the commerce, ',cis the. Ministerial journal, and the Ministry have received from public opinion the title which they it deserve, the Ministry of foreigners. No one there fore can be surprised at finding this neorning in the columns of that Ministerial paper, an article which some might imagine was drawn up by an English writer. Whenever France has any af fair to settle with foreigners the Journal des Debats is sure to place foreigners in the right; it reserves all its solicitude for foreigners, and to them it addresses all its praise and congratula tions. It is, in fact, the journal of 1814 and 1815." The same journals express great dissatisfaction at the appointment of General JACQUEMINOT to the command of the National Guards. As for the appointment of General Sebastiani, it is not yet inserted in the Moniteur, but it seems not to be doubtful. On this subject the Siecle has the fol lowing remarks :—" The nomination of General Ti burce Sebastiani to the command of the military di vision of Paris, in the room of General Pageot, is cer tain. By way of indemnification, General Pageot has been offered the place of one of the King's Aides-de- Camp, doubtless that which is vacant by the death of M. Alexandre Laborde. Gen. Pageot not having at first received this offer with much eagerness, which M. Guizot had under taken to induce him to accept, the latter said to him —"Don't you know, General, that Marshal Villars was one of the aides-de-camp of Louis XIV. ?" We do not know what General Pageot answered ; hut he might have reminded M. Guizot that Lous XIV. had Ministers rather more jealous of the honour of the country than his Majesty Louis Philippe's Ministers, who in times of reverse, as well as of the most bril liant events, made all Europe respect the honour and the name of France. It is reported that the Due d'Aumale, when he returns from Africa, will be appointed to the command in chief of the National Guards of the department of the Seine, and that General Jacqueminot will be only second in command. The Tartare, which has arrived at Toulon, has brought news from Algiers of the 15th. Still the Ministry has not yet published any report of General Bugeaud.—Le Commerce, Oct. 23. We have a letter from Algiers, of the 15th, which says :—" Since the departure of the last mail we have no news of the column under the command of the Governor-General. There is every reason to sup pose that it has entered the province of Constantina, but we have nothing certain on the subject. The greatest tranquility continues to prevail in the Mitidja, and the Arab and French markets are very well supplied." The Echo de la Frontiere, under the head of Valen ciennes, Oct. 22, has the following passage :-- " The Chamber of Commerce of the Department of the North have resolved to send delegates to Paris to represent to the Government the injury vhich would result to the several manufactures of our country from the projected Customs' union with Belgium. They have applied to the Chamber of Valenciennes to know whether it is intended to imitate them. If we are rightly Wormed, the Chamber of Commerce has re solved not to send delegates, but to go in a body to Paris to support their opinions to the utmost of their power. M. de Marngoval, deputy of Valenciennes, will, it is said, be requested to present to the Minister the members of our Chamber of Commerce, who will be joined by some of the chief manufacturers of our district."

" Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The obsequies of M. le Comte Laborde took place at Paris, on Sunday. The deceased, in addition to other writings, was author of the "Picturesque and Historical Voyal in Spain." He was one of the first to send in his resignation on the formation of the Polignac Ministry. Addresses were pronounced on the occasion by M. le Comte Bougnot and General Rumigny. Joseph Bonaparte is said to have removed the difficulties which lay in the way of the testamentary gifts of his uncle, the Cardinal Fesch, regarding his legacies to Corsica, by presenting a donation equiva lent to them, to his native town. Among them is a statue of the First Consul, and of the numerous pic tures of the rich gallery, bequeathed to him by the Cardinal, he has given 100 to Bastia, 50 to the village of Corte, where he was born, and 150 to different communes of the department. The Council-General of Corsica have forwarded an address to the French Government, praying for a grant of public money to complete a monument in that country to the Emperor Napoleon. The National, in adverting to the affairs of Canada, says—" There never was a better opportunity than the present for the French Canadians to assert their independence, and separate themselves for ever from the English." The vines at Beaujolais answer their culture in so prolific a, manner, that they are likely to attract more labour than the manufactures of the place. Several Belgian engineers are said to have been named Chevaliers of the Legion of Honour, on the occasion of the approaching inauguration of the rail road of Quievrain to Valenciennes. Accounts from Switzerland state that the Judge Advocate-General, Sir John Nicholl, i 3 seriously in disposed in that country. MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. A meeting of the creditors of the Tweed Bank took place on Wednesday last at Berwick, when composi tions for the larger debts were entered into, and finally for the smaller. The Tweed fisheries closed on Saturday last ; the season has been, on the whole, productive. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. The buildings in Farringdon-street will be com menced in the ensuing spring. There will be 27 on the west, and 22 on the east side ; the leases are granted by the City for 61 years. ELECTIONEERING. Sir William Rae, it is reported, will be succeeded in the representation of Buteshire by the Hon. Archi bald Wortley, third son of Lord Wharncliffe, and not by Mr. Duncan M'Neill as stated. NAVAL AND MILITARY. A number of officers of the Royal Artillery as sembled in the Woolwich marshes yesterday to wit ness experiments with a new description of brass gun, invented by Captain Grant of that corps. It saves in metal and powder greatly, and the result of six rounds fired showed it to be admirably adapted for field service. LAW AND POLICE. Police constable, Joseph Pitman, K 391, was yes terday charged at Lambeth-street, with assaulting Miss Julia Briggs, the daughter of a dyer, residing in the East India-road, Poplar. The Magistrate remarked that he had disgraced himself as a man, and gave him the severest penalty he could record, of a month's im prisonment in the House of Correction, with hard labour. John Smith was charged at Thames-street with a marine burglary, in breaking into the cabin of the schooner Ellen, with the intention of stealing watches and wearing-apparel. He was committed for trial. Alfred Stringle and Francis Hawes were charged at Guildhall with stealing 281bs. of dyed silk from Mr. Gourdain, in Milton-street. The prisoners were re manded till Thursday. FINE ARTS. Bailey's statue to V ice-Admiral Sir Pulteney Mal colm has been placed in St. Paul's Cathedral. 'lts cost was 1,0001. Mr. Campbell, the sculptor, has had the execution of the statue to the late Duke of Gordon confided to him, and has paid a visit to Aberdeen to select the granite. COURT-rAsazONABLE The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland left Dun robin Castle on Wednesday last, for Trentham Hall Staffordshire. 'The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland are entertaining a select party of friends at Aln wick Castle. The Earl of March and Lord William Lennox are expected in town this week from Gordon Castle, Scotland. The Earl and Countess of Kinnoul arrived at Hampden House, Green-street, last week, from Dupp• lin Castle. The Countess Dowager of Pembroke arrived at Wilton House, Salisbury, on Wednesday last, from Savanaeh Lodge. Sir R. Peel arrived in town yesterday from Drayton Manor, and in the afternoon left for Windsor Castle. Mr. Whitfield, the botanist, left Knowsley Park las week, on a fresh mission to the coast of Africa. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town yesterday from the Isle of Wight. :tuscrixa.aiimous. The Privy Council, originally intended to be held to-morrow, has been postponed to the 2d of November. The annual festival of the "Blues," or gentlemen educated at Christ's Hospital, took place yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on the oc casion of the birth-day of King Edward VI., their founder. A storm at Rome has thrown down Tasso's oak and the Colonna pine. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. Mauritius Papers, to the 25th June, still dwell upon the all-absorbing question of immigration, and state that the Government had a very large surplus revenue at its disposal, which it was bound to appro priate to the benefit of the colonists rather than keep ing it locked up. The duties on spirits had yielded a large sum, and it was calculated that 50,000 labourers might be introduced into the island in the space of five years, for an expenditure of 1,500,000 dollars. In reference to the unfortunate destruction of the caisson, which had been so successfully placed upon the Goodwin Sands, we have much pleasure in stating that accounts received in town this morning announce the saving of the crew belonging to the vessel which struck upon the iron foundation of Mr. Bush's caisson, In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday there was again a more cheerful appearance, and the sales were 4,000 bales at firmer. prices. There was also rather a better inquiry for Railway Shares, and except the Eastern Counties, prices were generally well maintained. This line was at 91. Edinburgh and Glasgow New were 4g ; Great Western New, 60i ; Brighton, 36i ; and South- Eastern, 22k. The exposure of the frauds at the meeting of the coffee trade yesterday has excited much attention in the City, and the pilfering carried on some how or other is considered to demand an early remedy. It must not, how ever, for a moment be supposed that the deficiency in weight after leaving the Dock warehouses •is confined to the article of coffee, since we have it from th e b es t au - 1 thority that go ods of various descriptions shipped to the Continent or received here, are constantly arriving short of the quantity specified in the invoices. In the simple article of silk handkerchiefs a party assures us, that although every possible precaution is taken by marking the weight, &c., losses have constantly occurred, onecasehaving arrived at Hamburgh recently short of seven pieces. It is to be remarked, too, that such losses have frequently occurred where the goods never went into the dock warehouses at all, and that although repeated search has been made throughout the vessels, no ;due has yet been been ob tained to the discovery of the mode in which they were abstracted. At Harnburgh discoveries have been made, how ever, of regular depots for stolen colonial produce, and it is, perhaps, not going too far to assert, that something of the kind exists here also. One merchant in the fur trade recently found a bale short of its proper contents, though stowed away in his own warehouse, and the deficiency must there fore have arisen, one would imagine, by some collu sion with the revenue officers. There is a strong feeling upon the subject, and it is hoped that the Augean stable of corruption will be cleansed, and that some influential parties will be stir themselves, for the purpose of convening a gene ral meeting, to take similar , steps to those adopted by the coffee trade. The exchange comes over steady from Ham burgh at 13 Bf, and the price of gold at 434. In addition to the failures at Marseilles, we are advised of tw o small ones, not in the Corn trade, we believe, at Altona ; but we only refer to these to show that the smaller and steadier dealers of the Continent, like those in England, are affected by the pressure of the times. Business in the Stock Markets has been rather brisk to-day, and prices have fully recovered th e par tial depression of Saturday, owing in part, no doubt, to the purchases said to be on account of the Savings' banks, but still more to the superabundance of unemployed capital in the general di scount mar k et, and which to-day , commands only 2 per cent. By ad w an error yesterdays Consols were made to bear the quotations which should have stood opposite the Reduced Three per Cents. To-day the Consols for present transfer are 93i to 93i, and for the Ac count, 931 to 93 j. ; Excheq uer Bill s are fi rm at 5 6 S to 58s . premium ; East India Bonds are at 48s. to 50s. prer&u u ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. again rechse 1011 to we ; the Three per Cent. An nuities arc 92+ to 93*; Bank Stock is 1651 to 101 ; and India Stock, 253. The Foreign Market. has again a tende icy .to be come more lively, but the speculation in Spanish Bonds is less active, though the Five Per Cents. maintain the ad v anc e to 16+, and the Three per Cents, to 24. The accouats from Lisbon are not of a very decided character, one way or the other ; the Portuguese Bonds are dull, the New Five per. Cents. at 381 and the Converted at 32 to 32*. Mexican Stock is at 32+, and Brazilian at 641. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. arc 52* to 52+. Peruvian Stock has been in speculative request at 15i to 16i. - . !I Not mud; business has been done in the Railway Shares, which are, however, at steady quotations. Eastern Counties bring 141 to 14+ discount; Great Western, 181 premium ; and Loudon and Birming ham, 93 premium; Brighton are 13,i, and Greenwich Preference 1+ discount.
