The sales were estimated at 12,000 bales, 5,000 of which were taken for export, and 5,000 on speculation. The Railway Share Market pre sented a quiet but firm aspect, but with a slight decline. The Bank of England Return for the week ending the 20th instant is not very unfavourable, although there are strong indications of a pressure for money. An increase of more than a million and a quarter sterling is exhibited both in the public deposits and the other securities, which may be partially ascribed to the payment of the final instalment on the last loan. The reserve of notes, the Govern ment securities, and the stock of bullion, as will be seen by the subjoined analysis of the balance sheet, have not undergone the slightest change of importance : Active Circulation Increase Bullion Decrease Rest £19,789,185 37,495 12,13,602 8,708 3,743,895 13,078 7,909,724 1,300,432 Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills 909,336 Increase Government Securities No alteration. Other Securities Increase Notes unemployed Increase The official return of the exports of bullion from the port of London for the week ending Thursday last is as follows : Gold Coin I ff $) „ Bars ~ Silver Coin fir ft f f )1 ;) ...... Rotterdam ... 7,200 Ozs. Bathurst 800 Ozs. „ Bars Theßoard of Trade Returns have just been pub lished. The value of all exports from the United Kingdom in August was 10,753,2921. against 8,891,4731. in the same month last year. It will be seen from the foregoing table that silver is rapidly leaving our shores, while in all the principal Continental States the abstrac tion of coins composed of that metal is be coming more serious every day. The Bank of France, in order to be prepared for the ultimate effect that may be produced on the metallic currency of the country, have entered into a contract with the Paris Mint, by which the latter agree to supply 50,000,000 francs in five franc gold pieces, at the rate of 175,000 francs per diem. The excitement produced by the general advance in the rates of discount has been aug mented by the Bank of Hamburg having increased its terms to the high quotation of 9 per cent. There is an active demand for money in Lom bard-street, at the Bank; and on the Stock Ex change, at full rates, consequently an expectation prevails that the Bank of England will make a move next Thursday. _ _ The English Funds opened rather steady this morning, but shortly afterwards a decline of about per cent. suddenly took place, though on what precise grounds it is difficult to decide. Consols have been 93} j, 92i 93, and 93 to 931 for money. The account prices have been 93i 4 93, sellers, and 934 Exchequer Bills have declined 35., being 10s. to 13s. premium, and the Bonds are 991. Foreign Securities are likewise at reduced quota tions, and with limited transactions. Turkish 6 per Cents. receded to 100, and the 4 per Cents. to 10014, but they are now firmer. Spanish!Threes are 411 ; the New Deferred, 231 ; Mexican, 22i ; Grenada New Active, 21k to 22 ; Venezuela 11 per Cents., 131 ; and Peruvian Dollar Bonds, 59. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7 to 74 ; Mexican, 221 to 22 i ; Peruvian, 78 to 80 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 57 to 59 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 43 to 45 (ex div.); Russian 5 per Cents., 106 to 108 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 95 to 97 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 42t 42/ ; ditto Deferred, 231 24 ; ditto Certificates, 54 6 ; ditto Passive, 61 I. Railway Shares are all lower, and in some cases the decline is fully 4 to 1 per cent. The prices, however, are very fluctuating, and the transactions have been numerous. South-Western are nearly 2 per cent. worse. Foreign and Colonial are dull• Rigas are 1 to 11 prem. Slims, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares are dull. Bank of Egppt are better.

EARL GRANVILLE'S MISSION TO Moscow.—lt is es timated tha a t the mission of Earl Granville to Moscow as the Extraordinary Ambassador of England at the Coro nation of the Czar will cost the country from 25,0001. to 85,0001. The suite of the noble Earl includes nearly forty persons. ART IN FRANCE.—By order of the Emperor an ex. hibition of the works of living artists will take place next year, from the 15th of May to the 15th July. DEATH OF LADY BRAYBROOKE. --We regret to an nounce the death of Lady Braybrooke, which took place at Audley-end on Tuesday, in her 57th year. Her ladyship was the second daughter of the second Marquis Cornwallis, and married, in 1819, the present Lord Braybrooke. The remains of the late gallant Captain Moubray have been consigned to their last resting-place, in the usual place of sepulture at Greenwich Hospital. No successor has as yet been appointed to the vacart situation, but rumour has again been busy with the name of Captain Nias, C.B. PARKHURST PRISON.—There are now 700 juvenile convicts in Parkhurst prison, in the Isle of Wight. By the present law all convicts between 13 and 17 years of age, sentenced to not less than twelve months' impri sonment, are sent to Parkhurst. In that place they are taught all kinds of trades. A capital choir of sing ers is formed in the prison amongst the juvenile convicts. Many of them sing very beautifully. THE INDIA MAIL.—The East India and China Asso ciation have entered into correspondence with the Post master-General on the inconvenience caused to the mer cantile community by the frequent detention at Mar seilles of the homeward East India and Cbina mails. It appears that during the last 18 months nine instances have occurred in which the monthly mail has been de tained on an average about twelve hours. The Post master General has promised to communicate with the French authorities on the subject without delay. Tile SERPENTINE. —A correspondent of the Times makes the following suggestion :—lt is well known that the Serpentine lies many feet above the lake in St. James's Park. If, therefore, the bed of the former were raised, as is now doing with the latter, so as to have an uniform depth of water of four or five feet, and a body of clear water introduced at the west end of the Serpen tine, instead of the contents of the Bayswater sewer, the overflow thereby created might be carried off at the east end by means of an ornamental cascade, and thence by an underground aqueduct to St. James's Park, and there introduced into the lake, either by another cascade or fountain. The means of geting rid of the overflow of the latter have only very recently been provided for. By these means I apprehend the waters in both parks might be kept perpetually sweet and clean, the cascade or fountain might be made a great ornament, and the means of bathing without risk to life or health provided. it. 50 it.

LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS. r_t3men , thiS POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BOW-STREET. 110BBERY AT THE A DELPHITLIEATItE.- Elizabetlt a fashionably•dresaed woman, was placed at the tar, charged with picking the pocket of a lady at the Adelphi Theatre. Fro:n the evidence of Polic.2-constable 62 F, it ap• peared that on Wednesday night at about 11 o'clock, he saw the prisoner leave the AdelpLi Theatre in treat haste, but she afterwards returned and pushed through the crowd, and there joined another female. On her again quitting the theatre be followed her, and when she had got nearly as far as Waterloo-bridge he distinctly saw her throw a purse into the gutter. Having picked up the purse he accused her of having committed a rob bery at the Adelphi Theatn, which she instantly denied. He took hf.r to the station house, and on her pu.:4Qii was found a gold watch, four gold rinF.!s, and some silver. Tao prisoner ua,; not known at the address she gave at the station house. The lady from whose pocket the purse bad been taken this morning attended and identified the purse, arid also said she had some recollection of seeing the prisoner while she was waiting for admission into the theatre. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. ROBBERY.—Ann Sikh, Louisa Harpur, and Lydia Mayne were placed at the bar on remand, charged with being concerned in a robbery of 551. in gold and bank notes, at a beer•shop in High Holborn. The prisoner Sitch was in the service of the prosecu tor, Mr. H. Whale, as servant of all-work. The money was stolen from a cash box, which had been deposited in one of the upper rooms of the house ; and it was proved that Sitch had left the gold, consisting of thirty sove reigns, in the charge of Harpur, who again intrusted it to Mayne, minus 3/., "having no place at her lodgings to keep it in safety." Mayne employed a young man named MPherson to take it back to Harpur, and this messenger spent 71. of the amount, and returned (hunk. The parcel at length found its way to a third woman in Seven-dials, who gave up the money, now reduced to 201., to the police-officers, Franklin and Holmes, of the F division, who bad been watching the movements of Sitch from the time of the robbery, 'and had seen her visit the other prisoners, who were laundresses, at their respective homes. The four Si. bank notes, and a cheque for 51., making up the remainder of the amount stolen, were burnt; and, as the numbers of the notes had not been preserved by the prosecutor, the money was lost. In answer to the charge the prisoner Mayne this morn ing admitted finding the money, and she also said that, on going to Harpur's residence, ehe informed her with out the money was given up or the papers burned, they would all be sent to prison. All three prisoners were fully committed for trial. THE ESPIEGLE AND SCOILVION ON Tilt? DALIEN J'XPbDEPION. 2,111. to the inoome of e.ch e,f thecae servants would givi, such general Ealisfactic n.—Fifeshire Journal. BXTEIIATE AND C IA.TBRIDGE. It is proposed to construct a line of railway from Bath. gate, via Airdrie, to (Joao:ridge, by Mr. Johnstone, the en queer, cost of 130,0001., including,workingstock. He estimates th t',e mineral traffic on the lire will yield a revenue of 17,0941., and, deducting 7,0771., or 40 per cent. for working expenses, the free revenue would amount to 8 per cent. It is believed that 5Q per cent. would be much nearer the expenses than 40 per cent. The gradients aro represented to be favourable, the steepest, being 1 in 70, rie•ceoding towards Coatbridge, the destination of the gr , tatur portion of the traffic. At a meeting recently held at, Airdrie of parties locally in terested, it was resolved t.,i.raise the capital in shares of 25/. each, and proceed w:th the undertaking. NEW RAILWAY Bl.r vt , BEN CO LCHEST AND GPAVPSEND. A dinner vas given to Sir S. M. Peto, on Wednesday ev-iiing, at the treat Yarmouth. The hr n. baronet, in resporaliiig to the toast of his heal b, which was drunk with three times three, referred to the successful termination of the struggle to obtain an act for the construction of a line from Yerniouth to Had cliscoe, which had chan , ed the character of the whole East Suffolk scheme, and given it a command over the district which it would not have otherwise possessed. He also announced that he shou'd not let the undertak ing stop there. In connection with some other gentlemen he was a lessee of the London, Tilbury, and Southend line ; and those gentlemen, with many parties connected with the County of Essex. had projected a perfectly direct line from Gravesend to Colchester. The distance by this line would he only 30 miles, and might be traversed in an hour. The line would connect the eastern counties with Dover and the neighbouring towns without going to London at all, and the fares would be much lower upon it. The lessees of the London, Tilbury, and South end found that when they accommodated the public by cheap trains it paid them a great deal better than when they charged larger fares ; and by the proposed line the Colchester people would only pay ss. to go to London instead of 12e. 63., which they paid at present. It would also take people from Yarmouth to London and back for 265.; and he appealed to those who had assisted him in the late struggle for the completion of the East Suffolk system to help in the struggle which was yet to come. He should not be satisfied till he had what was equiva lent to an independent line from Yarmouth to London, if the Eastern Counties obstructed the East Suffolk traf• fie between Woodbridge and Colchester; and he bad no dotibt that a committee of both Houses of Parliament could be convinced that another line was necessary for the convenience of the public under such circumstances. This scheme is of very great importance to the East ern Counties Company, as, if carried out, it will divert all the Lowestoft, Yarmouth, and portions of the Nor folk, Suffolk, and Essex traffic from the present lines. The project is therefore watched with lively interest in the district. kihtt E MARK. K,i,e 3. 7HIS CoA 1 , ,2111,w .AILWATO.

A DANGEROUS PAUPER.—EIIem Petty, a middle-aged female, dressed in the workhouse clothing, an inmate of Saint Saviour's Union Workhouse, was charged with committing a violent assault upon Mrs. Mary Ann Bonsor, the matron of the workhouse, and threatening to murder her. Mrs. Bonur stated that the prisoner had been an inmate of the workhouse for some years, and although her conduct was very violent at times she received every indulgence that could be afforded her. She, how ever, thought she was ill-used by some one, and fre• quently made use of threats towards witness, but she took no notice of them, believing that they were idle threats. On the previous afternoon she was allowed to roam about the house as usual, and about 6 o'clock, ag witness was passing through the hall, the prisoner suddenly sprangupon her from her hiding-place,and struck her such a violent blow on the top of her head as to break her comb and injure her very much. She was about to repeat the blow when two of the inmates came to her assistance and rescued her. The prisoner all the time said that she was determined to murder her, and she believed she would bad not her husband (Mr. Bonsor) come to her assistance, and handed her over to the custody of a constable. Two of the ward-women of the workhouse were called forward, and they proved the violent conduct of the prisoner. The prisoner was extremely violent during the exa mination, calling all the witnesses liars and other oppro brious names, when the magistrate said that she was a dangerous woman, and must be put under restraint for some time. He should commit her to prison for six weeks with hard labour. THAMES. IMPUDENT SSOP•LIFTERS.—EIcanor Frasier, aged 44, of 3, Ship-street, St. George's-in-the-East, described as being of no trade, and Charlotte Simnf onds, "AO, of 2, Matilda-place, Wellclose-square, tailoress, were charged with stealing a roll of corduroy, value 1/. Bs., from a draper's shop. It appeared that a police-constable named Rice, 33 H, met the prisoner in Cannon-street-road. They tried to avoid him, and crossed from one side of the way to the other when they saw him. He went after them, and took from Simmonds a roll of corduroy, with a shop ticket, " only is. Bd. per yard," upon it. He was satis feed it was stolen, and asked Simmonds where she ob tained the corduroy, to which she replied, "from a slop seller's warehouse." Rice asked where the slop-seller lived, and neither of the women could tell him. They afterwards gave other accounts as to how they became possessed of the corduroy, and were taken to the sta tion-house. Rice afterwards ascertained that the cor• duroy had been stolen from a draper's shop in the Com mercial-road East, near the turnpike. The prisoners entered the shop, and took away the roll of corduroy exposed for sale near the door, iu the presence of the two daughters of the shopkeeper, who were sewing be hind the counter, and who could not with safety leave the shop. The shopkeeper was not in London, and no one attended to prosecute, and under those circum stances, the magistrate sentenced the prisoners to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour, for the unlawful possession of the corduroy, which was restored to the owner.

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY AND ITS CORRENOY.--A correspondent, signing himself " Firectrade," in a letter --- to the Times, says :" Permit me to defend the East India Company from the condemnation which you have passel on its currency measures in your money-market article of to-day. You condemn the co mpany for refusing to imitate the example of the United States, which has substituted a gold for a silver currency. The fact is that those Governments of the United States which profess to pay the interest on their debts practically cont;scate 9i per cent. of such interest, 80 great is the differ once between the real and nominal value of the American g 'old eagle. Our early kings debased the coin. In more 12 to dern times the same fraud has been committed by ovor issues of bank notes. The substitution of one currency for another of less value is equally fraudulent. We pro mise t.) 1 ay in silver, and we break th a t p rom i se , w h e ther i we pay iu debased silver, n inconvertible paper, or in a differeet metal of less value. The East India Company has no wish to provoke a mutiny in its native army. The native money-changers would immediately take advan tage of any change in the currency, and assist in accele rating the rise in the value of silver. The issue of debased silver tokens would fill the Supoy's mind with distrust, and imperil the security of our empire." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SITN. Dr. Cullen presents his respects to the e:litor of The Sun, and begs to request the insertion of the following 'Octets. 11, Royal Exchange, Sept. 25, 1856.

The committee of shareholders appointed at the last meeting of this company have formally requested the re• tirement of Mr. Face, Mr. Packe, and Mr. Anderson from the board, in order to make room for four new di rectors to be selected by the committee, subject to the approval of a general meeting of the omnpauy to be con vened for the purpose. WHITE HAVEN J rioN. The directors of this company and the Whitehaven and Furness Railway Company have appointed Mr. R. J. Randall, late chief of the transfer department of the South-Eastern Railway, to be accountant of the above railways. WATERFORD AND FERMOY. A meeting of the promoters of this line was held at Dungarvan on Monday ; Lord Stuart de Decies pre sided. It was attended by a large number of gentlemen locally interested.. Sir J. PAXTON, M.P., said that he bad watched for a great many years the efforts of the county to obtain railway communication between the cities or Waterford and Cork, and the only progress made in the course of ten years was the construction of a few miles of railway between Cork and Youghal. In respect of the pro posed line from Waterford to Fermoy, he was of opinion that they should not connect themselves at all with any existing company. They should be entirely independent, and start without any sort of agreement with any com pany. They should be prepared to work the line them selves. If they started by asking aid and assistance they would be imposed upon, and embarrassed in their future arrangements to a very considerab'e extent. The proposed guarantee of 4 per cent. on 6,0001. a mile would not obtain -the money for making the railway 60 miles in length. He did not believe that money would be cheaper than it was at present, considering the great demand for it at high rates in Brazil, Russia, Turkey, and Canada, to form railways. If the county would guarantee 5 per cent. on 7,0001. a mile, being for 60 miles a capital of 420,0001., including rolling stock, Le believed, the entire capital would be forthcoming at once to make the railway, but he was slue it they did not give that guarantee they would fail. Taking the smallest traffic of any railway in Ireland, which he believed amounted to 71. per mile per week, that would give them 21,8401. a year ; and, allowing 50 per cent. for working expenses, they would have 10,9201. for divi dend, or 2i per cent. ; but the probability was that they, would have 121. per mile per week, which would pro duce a revenue of 37,4401., and a profit of 18,7201. a year, or 4i per cent. Before the expiration of three years from the opening of the line the dividend would exceed 5 per cent, per annum. He proposed that after the hue paid 5 per cent. the surplus should be appropriated to re imburse the county the amount levied in respect of the guarantee to the railway. He represented the Duke of Devonshire on that occasion, and he could assure them that his Grace was sincerely desirous of having the great advantage of railway communication secured to the county, and if they adopted the plan he had suggested they would not be called upon to do anything more. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ROBERTS thought it was not prudent for them to be haggling about the interest upon 40,0001. or 50,0001. to carry out an undertaking which they all approved and were sanguine would be remunerative. Mr. DELAHUNTY fully agreed with the ob-errations of Sir J. Paxton, and regretted they had not had the ad •antage on former occasions of his advice. He thought every one must be satisfied with the soundness of his views on the subject, and he (Mr. Delahunty) believed that no time should be lost by those intereited in taking steps to secure the railway. The line when completed would open up a market to the farmers of Cork, Water ford, and Kerry which was not at present available. After some observations as to the necessity of increas ing the county guarantee to 5 per cent. on 7,0001. per mile, the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. EDINBURGEf, PERTH, AND DUNDEE. Wonders will never cease, and among the greatest that has happened lately will be found in another column, in which it will be seen that the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway has actually declared a dividend of 11 per cent, on the ordinary stock of the company, anu had surplus funds apparently sufficient to have warranted 2 per cent. This is certainly a most gratifying position of affairs. Not many half years ago the wildest dreamer would have laughed irit„the face of the man who would have hinted at such a thing ; and in this, as in many other cases, fact has turned out stranger than fiction. For tkis result the directors de serve great credit. The traffic on the line has increased enormously ; the working expenses seem to be at the lowest figure compatible with efficiency ; and the arrange ment recently entered into with the Scottish Central seems to be productive of the best effects with regard to both lines. We have sometimes had rather severe critici-rns to make on the half-yearly balance sheet of th. company, but with the exception of one item of 2001. of legal expenses connected with the Scot tish Midland and Aberdeen Railways, there beerna no thing in the present report requiring remark. We are still of opinion that money spent in opposing new rail way schemes, or new arrangements of other companies, unless in very peculiar circumstances, is seldom a good investment. Tne report, however, is, upon the whole, exceedingly gratifying, and such 34 may well preclude objections to so small an item. We have, however, one remark to offer. We have said that the directors de serve great credit for the satisfactory resalt arrived at in this report, but there are others also deserving of more than credit. We refer to the station-masters and other servants on the line, wbo, Sunday and Satur day, are at their post, and who, as a class, for the faithful and obliging discharge of their duties, are un surpassed, if equalled, by the railway officials on any other line with which we a.e acquainted. These men, serving the company faithfully, and the public with great attention and care, have some of them very difficult posi tions to fill, requiring incessant watchfulness and the strictest regularity; and although half-holiday movements and worke:s' excursions for almost every other class of workers in the kingdom are incessantly demanding atten tion, we are not aware that there has been any move ment for securing to the parties to whom we have refer red any days or hours of recreation, although we are sure none require it more and few deserve it better. Now that the line is in such a prosperous condition, we do trust the directors will take the case of these excellent servants into consideration, and, if possible, not only give them a holiday "like the lave," but make their Sabbath duties as light as possible. We have reason to believe, too, that some of these men who have been serving both the public and the company with great faith fulness and acceptability under the straitened circum otances of the company, have been not too liberally p aid • and now that better times are come, a few po ,ends a very few pounds, such as will be the merest tr ifi a when compared with the proceeds of the line, would be a m ost acceptable and a well-merited addition to the salmi's of the most deserving. We could point out more than o ,le of these within the limits of our own knowledge, and we are satisfied there is no object in connection with the line, not even dividends excepted, on which the ap plication if such a small sum as the addition of 151. or RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

AUSTRIA. 1 VIENNA, Sept. 23.—For some time past there has been a strong tendency to a decline in all kinds of Austrian stock, and certain measures taken by the Credit and National Banks have now led to a panic which fully equals, if it does not surpass, that which prevailed here in the winter of 1850 and 1851, when a war between Austria and Prussia appeared inevitable. According to the 17th paragraph of the statutes of the Credit Bank, the whole capital of 60,000,000f1. was to be paid in by the end of June, 1857, but the fact had entirely escaped the memory of the great majority of the shareholders, and the few who did remember it were of opinion that no further call would be made on them until a balance-sheet had been published, and a dividend paid on the first instalment of 30 per cent. In stead of a balance-sheet containing au account of the way in which the 18,000,0006. already received had been employed, the Administrative Council of the Credit Bank published the subjoined laconic notice in the official Weiner Zeitung:— " Agreeably to the 17th paragraph of the statutes, which relates to the further payment of the 70 per ce: t. of the capital of the institution, the Administrative Council has determined that 20 per cent. shall be paid betwee9 the Ist and 30th of November, 1856 ; 10 lAr cent. between the 2d and 31st of January, 1857 ; 20 per cent. between the Ist and 30th of April, 1857 ; and the remaining 20 per cent. between the let and 30th of June, 1857." The immediate consequence of the foregoing com munication was that those Austrian holders of Credit Bank stock who bad no prospect of being able to pay the further instalments suddenly brought their shares into the market, and thereby caused a very heavy fall. Two days before the decision of the Council of the Credit Bank was made known to the public two or three of its members took undue advantage of their position, and effected large salts of shares at high prices at various German capitals. the commencement of this month Credit Bank shares at 2001, on which but 30 per cent. had been paid, were at 394f1., and this morning they were at 325f1. As the foreign holders of Credit Bank stock are beginning to share the panic which prevails here, it is very probable that there will be a further fall, although the principal money changers and sellers of Government stock have sold shares to an enormous amount to the great public within the last 48 hours. As if to increase the dilemma in which the finance world is just now placed, the direction of the National Bank has this morning informed the public that it has raised the rate of interest "on all discount and loan business" from four to five per cent. It need hardly be said that the news of the departure of the united squadrons for the Gulf of Naples has tended to increase the panic of the stock jobbing world. Reliable information has been given me that the Credit Bank simply followed the counsel of the Fi nance Minister when it called on the subscribers to pay up the remaining 70 per cent. within so short a period, atd his motives for giving such advice are pretty evident. For want of the necessary funds, the Credit Bank has not yet been able to establish branch banks in Hungary, and some of the most in fluential nobles are now moving heaven and earth to obtain from the Emperor the permission to estab lish an independent Credit Bank for that Crown Land. For political reasons the boon will not be granted, but the Austrian Credit Bank will receive orders to establish branch banks without delay. Another reason why the Finance Minister is very desirous that the Credit Bank should be in posses sion of its whole capital is, that the Francis Joseph, Theiss, and East Galician Railroad Companies re quire its assistance. It is related that railroad and other inclustriel concessions requiring a capital of 250,000,000 florins are about to be granted by the Austrian Government, and if such should really be the case, a tremendous smash, and that at uo distant period, may reasonably be expected. In my opinion Baron Bruck has even now more irons in the fire than is quite prudent. THE RETIRING BISHOP OF LONDON.—" Simplex," in, a letter to a morning contemporary, thus writes :—" As one of the clergy of the diocese of London, I have re cently received a circular from the archdeacon request. ing my signature to an address to the retiring bishop. The archdeacon, either out of consideration for curates, or from some apprehension lest the affectionate regret' of the clergy should grudge a penny and a note in making itself audible, has enclosed a stamped reply which one has simply to sign and take to the nearest leiter-box. Could any request be more easily complied with ? And yet some of us have a difficulty about it* It seems to us that, though we are spared our pence and our paper, we are required to make the not entirely in significant sacrifice of our sincerity and truthfulness. I believe I am expressing the sentiments of the great body of the London clergy when I say that we have none but kindly and respectful feelings towards the retiring bishop. If these feelings are not of the warmest, it is, no doubt, attributable to the fact of a large maj , rity of us being but slightly acquainted with him. On the occasion of his retirement had any reasonable token of the respect of his clergy been contemplated we should all gladly have joined in it ; but, as it is, we are asked to sign an address speaking of his retirement as memorable and to us deeply affecting occasion,' and attributing to us a desire to approach his lordship with the expression of our most affectionate : egret.' The address then launches out into a laudation of the bishop which, as I have not the means of judging, I will charitably hope is strictly correc', although one cannot but con jecture that it would have been thought somewhat ful some if addressed to a St. Ambrose or a Bishop Heber. Now, sir, if we sign this address, what pretension Call we make to a quality which as Englishmen we are apt to appreciate rather highly—viz., sincerity ? How can we have the face to lecture our congregations on the hollowness and insincerity we see around us when we ourselves have just been forwarding to Fulham our ex pressions of the deepest sorrow on the cmternplation of a retirement' which very few of us would walk a hundred yards to prevent ?" STARVATION OF A HUNGARIAN REFUGEE.—About 12 months ago a Iluaearian refugee came to reside in Hull, under the name of Dr. Beck, and endeavoured to earn A livelihood for himself and family by teaching languages, but after suffering the keen and protracted pangs of poverty and destitution for several months he expired on Monday last. We are given to understand that de ceased's real name was Adolphe de Werdinsky. He was born in March, 1803, at NVorden Castle, near the town of Galatzia. He was the only child of the late Count Adolphe de Werdinsky, who was a General in the Polish army, and a princess of Poland, who died in childbirth. Deceased was educated at home, in the most costly manner, having classical tators in almost all mo dern languages, and his remarkable aptitude for study was proved by his intimate acquaintance with at least 12, and to which he has of late trusted as a means o livelihood. Deceased married a woman at Southamp ton much younger than himself, and by this marriage he had two children, only one of whom is at present alive. So resolute and unbending was his spirit of independence that it was only in the last extre mity that any of his friends were made acquainted with his destitute condition, and that was done against his express command. For several weeks past we understand that the deceased and his family had been limited to a morsel of bread for their daily food, and their destitution was rendered more lamentable from the fact that there was absolutely nothing in the house which could be turned into m oney. For weeks together we believe that their scanty income has been only about Be; parish expressed coffin n ut ; m a o n s d t re- B pu e , fo t r a e n t c h e e t d o ob e t t i o h r g e interred h e i n a we believe there is no fear of this, for death has dune more • for them than he was able to do while livin g . The helping hand of c harit y is now of no avail, exce p t to t place the widow and child above the grinding penury of their past life.—Eastern Counties Herald. _ t --" C 4 e 1 ' ion of esent state an d from when trade a the vare, ortS, IS lag 9 Wl' age tau' (12 7ke- wbo Ind Po' 20 20 174 20 toO too L.O too 4 23i f 110 i 31i i 81 8
