(From the New American Cyclopedia.) Fremont, John Charles, an American explorer, born in Savannah, Georgia, January 21,1813. His father was a Frenchman who had settled in Nor folk, "Virginia, where he supported himself by teach ing his native language. His mother, whose maiden name was Anne Beverley Whiting, was the daugh ter of an opulent and prominent Virginian, con nected by marriage with the Washington family. She was left an orphan at an early age, and when seventeen years old was persuaded by her relatives to marry Major Pryor, a rich and gouty gentleman forty-five years her senior. This union was child less and unhappy, and at the end of twelve years was terminated by a divorce which the friends of both parties combined to procure from the Legisla ture. Major Pryor soon married his housekeeper. and Mrs. Pryor married Mr. Fremont. He died in 1818. The widow, with three infant children, settled in Charleston, South Carolina. At the age of 15, John Charles Entered the junior class of Charleston College. For some time he stood high in college, and made remarkable attainments in mathematics. " But about this time," says Mr. Bigelow, one of iais biographers, " he became ac quainted with a young West Indian girl, whose raven hair and soft black eyes interfered sadly with his studies." His inattention and frequent absences at length caused his expulsion from the college. After this event he obtained employment as a private teacher of mathematics, and took charge at the same time of an evening school. In 1833 he obtained the position of teacher of mathematics on board of the United States sloop of war, Natchez, which was then in the port of Charleston, from which she sailed on a cruise to the coast of South America. Fremont was absent in her for more than two years, and on his return to Charleston received from the College which had expelled him the degrees of Bachelor and Master of Arts. Shortly afterward he missed successfully a rigorous examination at Baltimore for Professorship of Mathematics in the navy, and was appointed to the frigate Indepen dence ; but he soon resolved to quit the sea, and engaged himself as a surveyor and railroad engineer on a line between Charleston and Augusta, Georgia. In 1837, he accompanied Captain Williams, of the United States army, in a military reconnaissance of the mountainous Cherokee country in Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. In 1838-9, he accompanied M. Nicollet, a Frenchman, and a dis tinguished man of science, in explorations of the country between the Missouri and the British line. These explorations were made under the authority of the government, and, while engaged in them in 1838, Fremont received from President Van Buron, under date of July 7, a commission as Second Lieutenant in the Corps of Topographical Engineers. While at Washington, in 1840, employed in the preparation of the report of these expeditions, Fre mont become acquainted with Miss Jessie Benton, a daughter of Col. Thomas H. Benton, at that time a senator from Missouri. An engagement was formed, but as the lady was only 15 years of age, her parents, notwithstanding their high personal regard for Fremont, objected to the match, and sud denly, probably through the potent influence of Colonel Benton, the young officer received from the War Department a peremptory order to make an examination of the river Des Moines upon the western frontier. The survey was rapidly executed, and shortly after his return from this duty the lovers were secretly married, October 19, 1841. In the following year Fremont projected a geographical survey of the entire territory of the United States, from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean, the feasibility of an overland com munication between the two sides of the continent being then a leading idea in his scheme of explora tions. He accordingly applied to the War Depart ment for employment on this service, and having received, at his own suggestion, instructions to explore the Rocky Mountains, and particularly to examine the South Pass, he left Washington May 2, 1842, and on June 10 began his expedition. Im mediately after the publication of his report Fre mont planned a second expedition of a much more comprehensive character than the first. He deter mined to extend his explorations across the conti nent, and to survey the then unknown region lying between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. In May, 1843, he commenced his journey with 39 men, and in pursuance of his instructions proceeded up the Kansas River far enough to ascer tain its character, and then crossed over to the Platte, which he ascended to its source in the moun tains, where the Swc et Water, one of its tributaries, springs from the neighbourhood of the South Pass. He reached the Pass on August 8, went through it, and saw the head waters of the Colorado flowing toward the Gulf of California. On September 6, after travelling over 1,700 miles, he came in sight of the Great Salt Lake, of which no accurate account had ever been given, and of which very vague and erroneous notions were entertained. His investi gations effected important rectifications in our geo graphical knowledge of this portion of the conti nent, and had subsequently a powerful influence in promoting the settlement of Utah and of the Pacific States. From the Salt Lake he proceeded to the upper tributaries of the Columbia river, whose valley he descended till, on November 4th, he reached Fort Van couver, near the mouth of the Columbia. On Nov. 10, he set out on his return to the States. He selected a south-east route, leading from the lower part of the Columbia to the Upper Colorado, through an almost unknown region, crossed by high and rugged mountain chains. He soon encountered deep snows, which impeded his progress and forced him to descend into the great basin, and presently found himself in the depth of winter in a desert, with the prospect before him of death to his whole party from cold and hunger. By astronomical ob servation, he found that he was in the latitude of the bay of San Francisco ; but between him and the valleys of California was a rar ge of mountains covered with snows which the Indians declared no man could cross, and over which no reward could induce them to attempt to guide him. Fremont boldly undertook the passage without a guide, and accomplished it in forty days, reaching Sutter's Fort on the Sacramento early in March, with his men reduced almost to skeletons, and with only thirty three out of sixty-seven horses and mules remain ing, and those that survived so weak and thin that they could barely walk while led along. He re , sumed his journey March 24, and, proceeding south ward, skirted the western bass of Sierra Nevada, crossed that range through a gap, entered the great basin, and again visited the Salt Lake, from which through the South Pass, he returned to Kansas in July, 1844, after an absence of fourteen months, during the greater part of which he was never out of sight of snow. Fremont was breveted captain in January, 1845, and in the spring of that year he set out on a third expedition to ex plore the great basin and the maritime region of Oregon and California. The summer was spent in examining the head waters of the rivers whose source is in the dividing ridge between the Pacific and the Mississippi valley ; and in October he encamped on the shores of the Great Salt Lake. From thence he proceeded to explore the Sierra Nevada, which chain he crossed again, in the dead of winter, with a few men, to obtain supplies from California for his party, with whom, after perilous adventures among the mountains, and some suc cessful encounters with hostile Indians, he made his way into the valley of the San Joaquin, where he left his men to recruit, and went him self to Monterey, which was at that time the capital of California, to obtain from the Mexi can authorities permission to proceed with his exploration. Permission was granted, but was almost immediately revoked, and he was peremp torily ordered to leave the country without delay. Fremont as peremptorily refused to comply. His men, exhausted by the hardships they had suffered, and destitute of supplies and animals, were in no condition to re-pass the mountains and the deserts from which they had just emerged. The Mexican Governor, General Castro, mustered the forces of the province, and prepared to attack the Americans, who were only sixty-two in number. Fremont took up a strong position on the Hawk's Peak, a mountain thirty miles from Monterey ; built a rude fort of felled trees ; hoisted the American flag; and, having plenty of ammunition, resolved to defend himself. He wrote to the American Consul at Monterey, in reply to a private message, March 10, 1846 :—" We have in no wise done wrong to the people or the authorities of this country, and if we are hemmed in and assaulted here, we will die, every man of us, under the flag of our country." The Mexican General formed a camp with a large force of artillery, cavalry, and infantry, in the plain immediately below the position held by the Ameri cans, whom he hourly threatened to attack. On the evening of the fourth day of the siege, Fremont, tired of inaction, withdrew with his party, and pro ceeded towards the San Joaquin. The fires were still burning in his deserted camp, when a messen ger arrived from General Castro to propose a cessa tion of hostilities. Without further molestation, Fremont pursued his way northward through the valley of the Sacramento into Oregon. Near Tiamath Lake, on May 9, he met a party in search of him with despatches from Washington, directing him to watch over the inter es t s o f the United States in California, there being reason to apprehend that the province would be transferred to Great Britain. There was also reason to believe that General Castro intended to + t h„ A se ttlements on the Sacramento. Fremont promptly retraced his steps to California. General Castro was already marching against the settlements. The settlers rose in arms, flocked to Fremont's camp, Railways. At Irntio & St Lewrene€ Bom.,Baroda&Centlnd Gu. 5 per cent.. Do Do.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fano.) IN RE GLASS..-DISCHARGE FROM CUSTODY. In this case reported yesterday, Mr. Brough renewed his application for the discharge of Mr. Weston, Moorgate• street, having filed the statement required by the com plainant under the new act—although the application was made under the 12th section of the old act. The statement simply contained the names and addresses of creditors, the amounts respectively due to them, the liabilities, and the cause of failure. Mr. Tees, for the creditor, said the account having been duly filed he would leave the matter in the hands of the Court. His Honour said that under these circumstances he should order a discharge. . This statement, however, will not absolve the bankrupt from filing a balance-sheet as usual, 10 days before the last examination, and the Court may order a specific goods and cash account, if requisite. IN RE W. AND N. BALLARD. These bankrupts had carried on business as woolstaplers at Farringdon, Berks. The bankrupts were father and son, and the accounts between them were as distinct traders. An immediate certificate of the third class was granted. A FAILURE AT THE 'WEST-END.-SOWERBY AND LATHAM.

POLICE I NTELLIGENCE.—(I74IB Day.) BOW -STREET. THE LATE MURDER ON BOARD THE LAMMERGIER.— Myers, the second mate, was brought up on remand, charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of the murdered Captain Adams. Mr. Darker, the solicitor for the prosecution, said he had to inform the magistrate, who had some doubt about the point on the last examination, that he had been informed the powers conferred by the Extradition Treaty with respect to criminals extended to witnesses. He hsd communicated with the American Minister, and negotiations were at present going on with respect to the subject, with the Government. Mr. Henry said he felt certain no such power as that re ferred to by Mr. Darker existed. Perhaps he could get over the difficulty by getting the prisoner voluntarily to America. Mr. Darker said he had positively refused to go. Mr. Young (who appeared for the prisoner) said he had no doubt his client would go to the United States. Mr. Darker—The prisoner has told me he will not go, and it is simply ridiculous to send a prisoner for trial with out witnesses to support the charge. The evidence of Myers was of the greatest importance. Mr. Henry—Will he not go voluntarily 1' Mr. Darker—He says he will not go as a witness. He has stated that he is a Southerner and owes no allegiance to the United States. Mr. Young—l think he will go. I don't imagine there will be any difficulty about it, as he has a wife and family in America, and he tells me he attended every sitting of the inquest. He says he is anxious to get out of this country. Mr. Henry—lf ho is tried in this country for the robbery which it is clearly proved he had committed, he would most certainly be most severely punished. I think you had better ask him if he will comply with the advice of his soli citor and go to America. . . Mr. Darker then had an interview with the prisoner in the jailor's room, and the result was, that the prisoner con sented to go to America. Mr. Henry said the Inspector of the Thames Police could still keep the prisoner in his custody until the ship sailed which was to convey him to America. Inspector Cox said the vessel sailed to-morrow (Satur day). Mr. Henry—Very well, then, you can take him down to the docks and see him safely aboard. If he offers the slightest resistance, or attempts to throw any impediment in the way, you can bring him back to this court and he will be dealt with for the robbery, which there is no doubt he had committed. The prisoner was then removed from court in custody of Inspector Cox. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING REVOLVERFL—James Edward Hudson was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with stealing two revolvers, of the value of £9, the property of Mr. Egg, gunmaker, No. 1, Piccadilly. Mr. Egg said prisoner left his service in January, and two days afterwards he missed two revolver pistols from the counting-house. He then went to the prisoner's mother, who said he had gone away, but that he was a waiter at the Alhambra. Found him this morning in cus tody of the police. The value of the pistols was £9. Sergeant Oliver, 294 A, said he went to 14, St. Martin's street, and found the prisoner in bed. Told him he must go with him for robbing his master, Mr. Egg, and on saying he wanted the pistols, prisoner said he had sold them to Mr. Wood, of Bow-street, gunmaker. He then took Mr. Egg to Mr. Wood, who said be bought them of the prisoner for £2 10s. each, and showed the book. This was in the prisoner's presence. Mr. Edmund Wood, theatrical armourer, said he bought the revolvers of the prisoner on the 2d of January, 1861, and in December, 1860. Mr. Egg said the prisoner had only been in his service three months, and left without notice. Prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for four months, with hard labour. THE BOP DUTY.

For many years the Baptist community of Dun fermline was presided over by brothers David Dewar and James Inglis, the latter of whom has just recently gone to his reward. Brother David was a plain, honest, straight forward man, who never hesitated to express his convic tions, however unpalatable they might be to others. Being elected a member of the Prison Board, he was called upon to give his vote in the choice of a chaplain from the licen tiates of the Established Kirk. The party who had gained the confidence of the Board had proved rather an indiffe rent preacher in a charge to which he had previously been appointed; and on David being asked to signify his assent to the choice of the Board, he said, " Weel, I've no objec tions to the man, for I understand he has preached a kirk toom (empty) already, and if he be as successful in the jail, he'll maybe preach it vawcant as weal.'- Benunitcences of Scottish, Life and Character.

On July 4 Fremont was elected Governor of California by the American settlers ; and on the 10th of that month he learned that Commodore Sloat, who commanded the U.S. squad ron on the coast, had taken possession of Mon terey. Fremont proceeded to join the naval form, and reached Monterey with his 160 mounted riflemen on the 19th. Commodore Stockton about the same time arrived at Monterey with the frigate Congress and took command of the squadron, with authority from Washington to conquer California. On Oct. 14, 1848, Fremont started upon a fourth expedition across the continent at his own expense. With 33 men and 120 mules he made his way along the upper waters of the Rio Grande through the country of the Utabs, Apaches, Comanches, and other Indian tribes then at war with the United States. His object was to find a practicable passage by this routeto California. In attempting to cross the great Sierra, covered with snow, his guide lost his way, and Fremont's party encountered horrible suffering from cold and hunger, a portion of them being driven to cannibalism to sustain life. All of his animals and one third of his men perished, and he was forced to retrace his steps to Santa Fe. Un daunted by this disaster, he gathered around him another band of 30 men, and after a long search discovered a secure route, which conducted him eventually to the Sacramento in the spring of 1849. He now determined to settle in California, where, in 1847, he had bought the Mariposas estate, a very large tract o f l an d, con t a i n i ng r i c h go ld m i nes . His title to this est a t e was con t es t e d ; b u t, a ft er a long litigation, it was decided in his favour, in 1855, by the Supreme Court of the United States. LITERATURE. The Parish of .Linwood ; or, Who is Responsible? By I. G. Edinburgh :W. P. Nimmo. London : Houlston and Wright. I. G. has a very humble wish—that her little book may " amuse the wise, instruct the ignorant, and do injury to none." We have no doubt her wish will be attained in the case of numerous readers, for the u ory is of that kind which is a favourite with the age of her principal heroes and heroines. From the circumstances mentioned in the short preface, it is evident that the authoress could not be an artist in the ♦ocation of tale making ; but her slips—such as a person drowning without any cause for it, and her young hot Tory hero seconding the Address in a Palmerston Parlia ment—do not interfere with the life of her story. Incidents are plentiful enough, and the loves, and perplexities, and cross-purposes, and comings-right at-last, sufficiently numerous to content any lover of the unexpected and surprising. When we add that the leading personages are a wealthy young landlord, just come of age, and a clergyman about his own age, who both desire to make Linwood a merry, but yet a God-fearing parish, our readers will be sure that morality and religion cannot suffer in the story. The authoress, in a secot d edition, must look a little carefully to the Scotticisms, and to the hints of friendly critics on minor points. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to this morning's market the receipts of English wheat were much restricted, and the demand for all descrip tions ruled steady, at fully Monday's advance in the quota- ions. The supply of foreign wheat was very moderate, and im porters were firm in their demands. All kinds brought quite previous rates. Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily, at very full prices. Barley sold somewhat more freely, at previous currencies. The supply on offer was rather limited. In malt sales progressed slowly, on former terms. The demand for oats ruled steady, and prices were fairly maintained. Very few beans were on offer, and the quotations were firm. Peas were scarce, and quite as dear as on Monday. Flour changed hands to a fair extent, at the late improve ment in prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

THE FROME WOODLANDS MURDER.--After en gaging public attention for upwards of a month, the in quiry into the case of Joseph Seers, charged, on his own confession, with the murder of the girl at the Woodlands, Frome, in September, 1851, is now virtually at an end. In answer to applications at the War-office, the prisoner's solicitor, Mr. Bertram, and Superintendent Deggan have i both received communications from the War-office officially informing informing them, as the result of inquiries, that . 73 prisoner Seers, being then 16 years of age, enlisted n st i ed t ta l in l t n e d t i h a e army for a period of seven years, that he was , and passed the whole of that time in the serv i ce of the East India Company, at Bombay, being dischar g ed in 1854. l an e f d or th k e i r m e i t S s o u n h e e h a have doubt i c n o g m tmthhieat that when h t t s ie i t m h w r u o a r n s d g e m h r t iann :e l f eB o Bs r t e llya r F e pr M i a lls gi ieb' strates on Saturday, on remand, he will be discharged from custody. Meanwhile much speculation is rife not only as to his ob ject in making the confession, he being pronou teed sane by the medical authorities, but also as to the quarter from whence he derived his very minute and acctuitte account of the circumstances of the horrid deed. It if i intended on Saturday to apply to the magistrates to con trait the man Payne for perjury, he having deposed to a conversation with Seers in 1851, which could never have ts ken place. SALE OF " PEELE'S COFFEE-HOUSE."--Yesterday this well-kn Own and old-established house, formerly the resort of the leading literary and legal celebrities of the day, was offered for sale under the hammer. The biddings commenced at £3,000, and the property wee's - ultimately knocked down, but not sold, at, 14,300, being below the re serve price. The advices from Paris are still of a very anxious character. The drain of gold continues, and the rate of ex change on London is firm. The Bank of France perseveres in itz sales of stock, but the market is sustained in an ex traordinary 'manner by large investments on the public.. To such an extent are th^'" —.Jou that it is said the prices of all 1,;^4 .ceurittes would exp erience a de ,;4_ 3 -..aaj to tiae face of the existing difficulties were it not for the realisations effected by the Bank of France. The expectation of a fresh movement in the rate of discount ap pears to be generally entertained. The sale of the bills for the £2,000,000 on Messrs. Rothschild and Baring is to com mence this week. A writer in a contemporary says:—Amid all the outcry mad e a b ou t a " C o tt o n Famine," and in view of the salutary efforts likely to be produced by a little alarm and high prices, I hardly know whether you will care to give insertion to remarks on the other side of the question ; but, as apprehension is felt in some quarters that distress among the opera tives will render them very troublesome this winter, and as so staid a journal as the Economist has found it necessary to remind the spinners of Manchester that their necessities will no more justify England in breaking the blockade of the cotton ports than in stealing the cotton afterwards, it may not be amiss to give a few words of comfort and hope to the desponding. The quantity of cotton taken out of this port by the trade in the year 1860 was at the average rate of 49,000 bales weekly, at the end of the year the stocks in their hands were greatly increased, and it is probable that, what with the large stock of cotton en hand and the great accumulation of "waste," which during the good times of last year spinners had not time to use up, the quantity which actually passed through the spindles did not exceed 45,000 bales weekly. The short time movement began in earnest about the beginning of September, and the reduction of consumption already is estimated at 30 per cent ; if the supply of American cotton is entirely withheld during the whole season, it seems likely that the consumption will be reduced by one third, and the trade will not require more than 30,000 bales weekly from Liverpool from the Ist of September, 1861, to the Ist of September, 1862. The export from Liverpool during the last 10 years has averaged 291,551 bales per annum ; last year it was much greater, owing to exceptional circum stances—the enormous American crop of 1859-60 having been sent to this market, it became the cheapest, and Continental buyers came here for a larger quantity than ever before. Now let us examine what our position will be on the Ist of September next, supposing we do not re ceive a bale from America, that the importation from other places is only increased by the quantity of cotton actually known on the Ist of September last to be at sea from India in excess of what was at sea at the same time last year, assuming the con• sumption to be two-thirds of that of 1860, and the export at the average rate of the ten years 1850 to 1860, inclusive. Bales. 885,610 Stock of cotton in Liverpool, Sept. 1, 1860 Import of cotton, other than American, into Liverpool, Sept 1, 1860, to Sept. 1, 1861 ....

It may be further urged that bales of other kinds of cotton are smaller than American bales ; but this will be far more than compensated for by the fineness and lightness of the goods which are made when cotton is dear. Then the price of middling New Orleans cotton to-day is 104 d. per lb. ; while this time last year it was 6R d. per lb. ; and it will be contrary to the laws of trade if such an increase of price does not call forth an increased supply. Our American friends have been very much sur prised at what they have termed the apathy of the manufacturers of England in not running up prices of cotton much sooner, and they will be still more surprised when they learn the calm business-like way in which the prospect of an entire absence of Amerimn cotton is met. The Southerners are ac customed to regard England as absolutely dependent upon them, and it will be a very disastrous circum stance if the labouring population of the manufac turing districts should be reduced to two-thirds of their usual wages ; but this is very different from " famine," or from such distress as will convert honest and industrious operatives into a dangerous class. I have endeavoured to allay needless alarm at the loss of one American cotton crop, but I should be sorry indeed to check the regular and natural pre cautions which are being made to meet the present exigency. Liverpool, Oct. 16. WILLS AND BEQULSTS. (From the Illustrated London News.) The will of Lady Baker, relict of Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Lorraine Baker, Bart., C. 8., of Kingston Russell, near Bridport, Dorset, and of Dunstable House, Richmond, Surrey, was proved in London on the 30th ult. by the executors, the Rev.
