MONEY MARKET AND 'COMMERCIAL INTEL.LIGENC;E:, CITY, Two o'CLoux The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed firmly at a slight improvement. The sales were estimated at from 8,000 to 9,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken for export, and 1,000 on specu lation, comprising 170 Pernran and Maranham, at 6 1d. to 7d. ; 150 Bahia at 6,;,d. to 62d. ; 300 tl, 3 ',37,tian, 61d. to 9d. ; 1,000 Surat, 41d. to 54c1. ; and 150 Sea Islands, ll I. to is. 7d. per lb. The Railway Share Market„ closed with a downward tendency, the annoroacement that the Bank of England had raised their minimum rate of discount Laving a prejudicial effect. Commercial advises boa Antwerp state that there was very little activity in the import mud exr,,arrt trade of that market during the past week, a 'Ati that wheat, coffee, sugar, and general articles 'Of colonial produce exhibited no material fluctuation nn prices. Of wool the sales were confined to Eng washed wools, and Buenos Ayres in grease, which realised previous quotations. Although there was no alteration in the prices of raw sugars yet they were remarkably firm, and it is not ex pected that there will he any fall this season. The Ba.nk of Holland has issued their monthly atatetne).it of accounts up the 30th September, the princiPal items of which are as follows :—The notes In c- irculation amount to 84,767,340 florins ; bat s:aces of accounts current, 16,956,8238. ; and species in the bank coffers, 67,016,2121 The Sank of Prussia also give their monthly returns, showi ng that the amount of notes in circulation Lave increased to about 46,000,000 thalers, or 6k mill:Lona on the month of August, while the cash or, hand has decreased upwards of one million. The Directors of the Bank of France have refused 'to sego tiate any bills having more than 60 days to run; and have determined to limit their advances on Routes to 40 per cent., and. on Railway Shares to 20 per cent. These restrictive measures, to gether with those adopted by the Bank of England, have naturally produced increased alarm with re gard to the present situation of monetary affairs. In France, however, more than here the to crisis is to be apprehended, and the letters received 10 from Paris speak in very discouraging terms of the future. A variety o f suggest i ons are made for st.Bt. alleviating the p ressure, an d opinion is much di- 50 - tided as to the course which ought to be pursued i gB by the G overnment and the Bank. The drain of 25 silvqr continues, and the efflux of gold from the ri'S Bank of England up to yesterday was very rapid. It now remains to be seen whether it will be at. checked by the advance in the rate of discount. st. The various joint-stock banks have advanced St -their allowance for deposits on call from 4 to 5 s t percent. Th e F rench prices at the opening of the it:* Moline to-day are telegraphed at a slight advance. so Lt. 7rom th e commencement to the close of business yesterday the i ncrease i n the minimum excited so much conversation, and there seems to be a general LI . impression that it will have the beneficial effect o 10 atopping the drain of gold. The next Bank re- 20 turn is exp ec t e d to exhibit some very unfavourable 20 chaaiges, but its influence will no doubt have been i° fully anticipated. , Rt. A further decided fall has taken place this morn ing in the English Funds, and Consols at one period were down to 90,1. This low point, how ever, has attracted the public, who are investing, while the Bulls are tempted to renew their opera tions. A reaction has consequently commenced, but it is quite impossible to say whether it will con tinue. Consols are now 91 to 911 for money, and g for Nov. The dealers are busy in making arrangements for the settlement, which will be a very heavy one, and it is feared that the payment of differences may be attended by some instances of embarrassment. The " Contango" is still fully Ph cent. Exchequer Bills are flat at ss. to 9s. preraium ; and the Bonds are 981 to 99. The Foreign Market has also been depressed, awl in some of the leading securities the changes ,have been considerable. Turkish 6 per Cents, have ragged from 962 to 97k, and the 4 per Cents. ]lave been 991 and 981. Spanish Threes are marked 40i, and the New Deferred 24. Russian -5 per Cents, have been dealt in at 106; ditto 41 per Cents. at 961 ; and Sardinian, 891 to 90, Mexi,e,an Stock is flat at 22.

Although the subjoined list of quotations show several important changes in the betting on the Cesarewitch, yet the range of speculation was limited, and the investments for the most part were in only trifling sums. Middleton, who at the commencement of last week was under con• siderable suspicion, but in whose favour a reaction set in befo/ e the termination of the Ne wmarket meeting, was brought with increased force into the market, and at his closingprice-15 to I—he was spiritedly supported. 100 to 6 was taken freely about Merlin. At one time 20 to 1 was booked about Barfleur ; but at last five points more might have been obtained without difficulty. The prices on the Cambridgeshire were merely nominal.

A very capital four-oared race took place yesterday amongst the members of this newlyestablished trades men's club, which did great credit to those concerned in it. Notwithstanding the state of the weather, it was witnessed by a number of spectators, and at the time fixed upon to start, half•pagt three, it was fortunately dry. The race was for four silver oars and a rudder, and the distance from Westminster-bridge to Battersea ditto. The following was the result : White Mr.J. M`Guire I Mr. J. Blanshard Mr. G. Grammer I Mr. T. Jackson Mr. T. Rapley, coxswain: It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was formerly in the employ of Messrs. Bebarfald and San, Houndsditch. On the 12th September he called at the prosecutor's warehouse and said he wanted some "felts" for Messrs. Bebarfald and Son, to make up an order. In consequence of this he was shown some, and he selected 14, value together 11. 4s. 6d., which he took away with him•—an invoice having been first given to him, charging the goods to Messrs. Bebatfald and Son. On the 25th September the prisoner called on the prosecutor, and had some sample hats, which he took away with him to show Messrs. Bebar fald and Son, and on the following day he returned and g h o a od d eight Prosecutor dozen i n had their beennames, in the habit o f d ea li ng with signing a rece i pt f or t h e Messrs. Bebarfald, but the former had never supplied the latter with goods. The prosecutor subsequently ascertained that the prisoner was not in Messrs. Bebar fald and Son's employ, and had not been sent by them for the goods, and he gave him into custody. Mr. Bebarfald deposed that the prisoner, who had been their traveller, left them in August last. He never authoriscd the prisoner to obtain the above goods from the prosecutor. Red .. Mr. J. Matthews Mr. C. Isaacks Mr. G. Blanchard I Mr. A. Green Mr. W. Dineen, coxswain. Blue Mr. J. Jones I Mr. C. Scott ' Mr. B. Guilland Mr. J. Jackson Mr. E. Jaffries, coxswain. It was a capital start, all going off well together. Blue took the lead, followcd by Red, White close up. White then began to pass Red, and was soon up to Blue, and, after a goci race, went by them at Vauxhall pier, and were through Vauxhall-bridge first by half a length. Red now overlapped Blue, and an excellent race went on to Thames-bank, where Red began to leave their opponents, and at the new bridge were clear, but after this they were never more than a length or two a-head. White won by four or five lengths, Red second by one length. Green, a city detective, apprehended the pi isoner this morning in Rosemary-lane, and charged him with the offence, but he made no reply to it. In the prisoner's pocket-book be found some of Messrs. Bebarfald and Son's trade cards and the two invoices of the goods obtained. The prisoner was then committed for trial. FOREIGN INTERVENTION. LI 1E RAT UR E. The Nord of Brussels publishes in prominent type, ana draws particular attention to the sub joined article, which appears in the Journal de Frankfort as a communication from Vienna : "It is clearly one of the fundamental principles of in. ternational law that the sovereignty of every indepen dent State ought to be respected as sacred ; that, conse quently, other States have not the right of prescribing the course of its internal policy—of exacting that it should follow their counsels, and especially of accom panying their demands by threats, or of having recourse to measures of compuesion. The only exception to this rule is the case when the internal policy of a State threatens in an evident manner to disturb the internal tranquillity or the ex ternal peace of other States. In that case, the States really threatened have the right to demand, and as a last resource, to obtain by force the removal of that danger. "The principle of the sacred character of the sove reignty of an independent State ie applicable, without distinction, to every form of government, to monarchies as well as to republics. All States are therefore equally interested in the actual proceedings of the Western Powers towards Naples. Should they, in this instance, violate the fundamental principle above cited, they would inaugurate on our continent a new national law, making the internal policy of States subordinate to the will of Powers strong enough to exact it. " General and indefinite wars would be the inevitable result. The different States are therefore—for the des tinies of all a're equally at stake—justified in devcting their full attention to the proceedings of the Western Powers towards the legitimate Sovereign of the King dom of the Two Sicilies. The question is not to ascer tain whether the internal policy of that monarch is de serving of praise or of censure, but to ascertain whether that policy threatens to disturb the internal tranquillity or the external peace of France and of England. " If it does not threaten them —and surely there is no manifestation of such a danger—those Powers have not the slightest right to exact a modification of that policy, still lees to acquirelt by force. "Yet if those Powers, because it is their good pleasure to declare as dangerous the system of Governmentof Fer dinand 11., or to see therein the germ of a revolution which might extend over all Italy, have made exactions, and now use threats (for every demonstration is a threat), which they are to put into execution should they not be complied with—which is probable—they thereby lay down at once a principle incompatible with the indepen dence of States, and, further, set an example the conse quences of which equally threaten the latter, because it makes the fear only of possible events a legal motive for intervention. " Thirty-six years ago there was also question of in. tervention in the internal affairs of this same kingdom ; but it was asked for by the legitimate Sovereign, the grandfather of the present King. Although that fact alone justified the assistance given by Austria with the consent of France, of Prussia, and of Russia, the Aus• trian Government nevertheless, in its diplomatic docu ments, referred to the immediate danger which threat. ened it. "Thus we find in Prince Metternich's circular despatch of the 25th of July, 1820, the following passage : " ' The interest s o f hi s Majesty the Emperor are especially compromised in these sad events in conse quence of his political and personal relations, of his near relationship with different princely houses of Italy, and of the geographical position of his own States.' "Austria possessed, moreover, the right by con tract of exacting that the Constitution of the Cortes should not be introduced into the kingdom of Naples, for it is said in a secret article of the treaty con cluded on the reth of June, 1815, with Austria : "' As the engagements which their Majesties take by this treaty with a view to insure the internal peace of Italy make it their duty to preserve their States and their respective subjects from fresh reactions and from the evil of imprudent innovations which might occasion their renewal, it is agreed between th e hi g h contracting oarties that hi s Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies in resuming the government of his king. dom (of Naples) shall not introduce any changes which are not in keeping with the ancient monarchi cal institution or with the principles adopted by his Imperial and Royal Majesty in the internal system of his Italian provinces.' " Austria had, therefore, positively the right to exact, and even to obtain by force, a modification of the Con stitution of the Cortes promulgated at Naples, although no one knew it exactly, even if the former King Ferdi nand had published it freely, and had not been compelled to do so. Prussia, France, and Russia, as allies of Aus tria, had fully the right to lend her their moral end ma terial support against the revolutionary Government of Naples. "At the Congress of Troppau, Austria, Prussia, and Russia went very far in principle, as appears from the circular despatch addressed on the Bth of Dec., 1820, by those three Powers to their representatives at the Courts of Germany and of the North. In the precis which accompanied that despatch the events of Spain, of Naples, and of Portugal rre designated as objects of the same alliance concluded against the French Revolution, and the hope is therein expressed that that alliance will also be able 'to put a check upon a new domination, not less tyrannical, not less horrible than that of revolt and of crime.' " The fallowing passage then occurs :- 1 " ' The Powers have exercised an incontestable light by taking together common measures of safety against the States in which the overthrow of the Government, effected by revolt, if not considered as a dangerous example, would have for result a hostile attitude against all legitimate constitutions and Governments. The exercise of that right became a still ,more urgent neces sity when th , se who placed themselves in such a situa tion endeavoured to extend to their neighbours the evils they had drawn down upon themselves, end to propagate revolt and cor.fusion around them. Such a position, such conduct, is an evident infraction of the compact which guarantees to all European Governments, because the inviolability of their territory, the enjoyment of peaceful relations which exclude any recriprocai onslaught upon their rights. The fact is incontestable, and is the point from which the allied Courts started. The Mi nisters at Troppau, who were possibly provided with full powers from their Sovereigns, consequently con certed together upon the line of conduct to follow rela tive to the States the Governments of which had been violently overthrown, and upon the pacific or coercive measures which might bring back those States into the circle of the European alliance.' "Although this precis expressed the hope that Eng land would join the other Powers responding to the in vitation of the King of Naples, conformable to treaties, and although Lord Castlereagh, then Foreign Secretary, bad always shared the views of the three allies, he could not do so on this occasion ; and in a despatch dated the 19th of January, 1821, he had to declare that the King declined participating in those measures, which he con sidered dielectrically opposed to the fundamental laws of Ene land, " But (continues Lord Castlereagh in his despatch), even /li/1 not this decided objection exist, the British Go• verninent would not the less be of the opinion that the principles which serve as heals for these measures cannot be admitted with safety as a system of laws between na tions. The Government of the King is of the opinion that the adoption of those principles would inevitably sanction and might eventually lead, on the part of less well inten tioned Sovereigns, to au intervention in the internal affairs of States much more frequent and mere extensive than that which ho is persuaded it is the intention of the august personage to exercise, or which would be in keeping with the general interests or with the real authoi ity and dignity of independent Sovereigns. The Government of his Majesty dues not think that, ac cording to existing treaties, the allies have the right to assume any general powers of this description, nor does it think that they can arrogate to themselves such extra ordinary powers in virtue of any new diplomatic transac tion between the allied Courts, without attributing to themselves a supremacy incompatible with the rights of other State?, or, even on acquiring those powers by the special consent of those same States, without introducing into Europe a federal, oppressive system, which would not only be inefficacious in obtaining its object, but might lead also to the most serious consequences.' "These are words of wisdom, full of real respect for international law, for Lord Castlereagh and his colleagues had no sympathy for the revolution and did not favour the revolutionary Government of Naples. But the force of truth made the British Government alive to the den gerous consequences of a principle incompatible with the independence of States, and made it reject it. " In like manner, in 1823, England refused to parti cipate in an intervention in the internal affairs of Spain. " A passage in the despatch of the 31st of March, 1823, addressed by Lord Canning to Sir C. Stuart, the British Envoy at Paris, explains the sole conditions under which England considered an intervention jus tified. The Minister points out that the British Pleni potentiary at the Congress of Verona did not co-operate in the resolutions taken there, and that "'Not because he was not authorised to engage the faith of his Government in any hypothetical obligation, but because his Government had, as far back as April, 1820, of the alliance to abstain from all intervention in the internal affairs of Spain, and because, having since that same period remained perfectly uncon cerned in all transactions which might have taken place between France and Spain, his Government could not form an opinion upon what foundation the Cabinet of the Tuileries thought of a possible rupture of.diplornatic relations with the Court of Madrid, or upon what founda tion an event was feared apparently so improbable as a commencement of hostilities against France by Spain. The Plenipotentiary of her Majesty (continues the Mi nister) did not see the proofs of the existence of any design on the part of the Spanish Government of in vadieg the French territory, of any attempt to tamper with the fidelity of her troops, or of any project to undermine her political institutions; and as long as the discussions and troubles of Spain were confined to her own terri tory France could not be allowed by the English Government to plead in favour of foreign interven• tion. If the end of the last century and the commencement of the rresent one saw all Europe leagued against France, it was not on account of inter nal changes which France thought necessary for her own politi ca l an d c i v i l reformation, but because she first attetuptcd to propagate her principles, and then her domination, by force of arms.'

By the Author of Clara Mori son. 2 Vols. Smith and Elder. This is a pleasing and interesting domestic story, attraeiive also from home originality in plot and locality. The authoress, it may be remembered., has previously published a story of colonial life, and her present work is called "A Colonial Tale." The hero, Robert North, is a man of excellent principles, and great strength of mind. He has received a stern and limited education from his uncle, a Dissenting minister, and all deficiencies in his knowledge or his fortune be has had to supply unaided. We are introduced to him as he is taking possession of a deserted paper mill in a quiet Eng lish village. He has always longed for a home and seine gentle-loving companion, who would rever ence his opinions and bend to his wishes. 11,3 meets with the realisation of his dreams in Mary Lancaster, the eldest daughter of the owner of the mill. She returns his affection, but her parents oppose it. After some time they am induced to consent, and the marriage takes place. The chief interest of the story, however, only be gins hero. Mary looks up to her husband with reverential affection, she believes him to be " Ten der and True r " in the words of a favourite old ballad. But somehow their happiness is not quite what she expected. North having been accustomed. to much solitary study and thou g ht con ti nues hi s old habits, and never makes his wife a sharer in his projects and ideas. She is not gifted. with any brilliant talents or great powers of mind, and soon abandons the attempt to com prehend his subjects of interest. She has been a most devoted and useful member of her own family, and being much missed sh e i s na turally glad to pay frequent visits to her old home_ But her husband, to whom his wife's affection is all sufficient, cannot understand why it is not the same with her, and a feeling of jealousy and dis content arises in his mind. He never attempts to enter into her thoughts and wishes, and a want of confidence exists between them. Suddenly Air. North meets with severe losses, and though he might have overcome them, he seizes the oppor tunity to insist upon emigrating to Australitt. tlis wife is in the greatest distress, but he assures her it is necessary, and they sail. He prospers-int the colony, and likes the life there, but his wife pines for sympathy and companionship. She has, before this, arrived at the conclusion that her hus band is true, but not tender. After a few years her family follow her, and she is dismayed to find. that her husband does not share her pleasure. She is still more dismayed when, shortly after, she ac cidentally hears that he might have succeeded in England had he chosen. She bitterly exclaims•to herself that he is neither true nor tender ; and while he is thinking her perfectly happy she is in wardly fretting and desponding. Her sister Rose comes to live with them. She has been always Mary's favourite and companion ; she is possessed. of many admirable qualities and is devoted to her sister. But Mr. North begrudges her her share of Mary's affections. Added to this, he is always disputing with her father, and does not harmonise with her moth er , f or h e i s harsh and unbending, and will take no pains toconciliate them, owing to hisjea lousy. At length the storm breaks out, and Mary charges him with being neglectful of her, indif ferent to his children, and neither tender nor true. Poor Mr. North i s dismayed ; he had never imap • gilled his wife could doubt his affection for her, and ho leaves home in perplexity. He meets a friend, who persuades him to accompany him on a visit to the diggings, and when there he falls seri ously ill from an epidemic fever. Meanwhile Mrs. North had arrived at the conclusion that she had been in extremes, and became alarmed at his ab sence. At length all is happily re-adjusted, and each is determined to fail no more in sympathy or confidence. Mary learns that there may be deep feeling with very little demonstration—Mr North that sympathy and consideration are due from the husband as well as the wife. Besides the domestic adventures of the chief persons in the story, there is an interesting chapter of romance about Rose Lancaster's love affairs. She is one of the most attractive of the dramatis persona' , and the dif ference of charact e r b e t ween h er an d her sister is very skilfully drawn. The authoress ie, it is to he presumed, well acquainted with colonial life, as • she informs us that she has followed the advice :4f the poet in selecting her subject—" That is best which lieth nearest"—and, consequently, the sketches of life and manners in Adelaide may be considered portraits. Notwithstanding the some what sentimental title of the work, it is written in a very simple and straightforward style, and evi dences talent and experience. It enforces its practical lesson silently but impressively, and no doubt some of the many readers of " Tender and True" will derive from it as much profit as plea sure. ORIGIN OF SMOKING TOBACCat (From 'Vint's', Current Notes ) Columbu', in his first vo;ge of discovery, on his re turn entered the p or t of Nips, in Cuba, Oct. 28, 1492, and on the following day, believing she coast to be Asia, left it in hopes of finding the city, which, induced by The Ir,dians, he believed lay to the westward. On the 2d Nov. he deputed messengers to confer with the great king, who was supposed to govern this vast continent ; but, ou the fourth day of their absence they returned ; they had found no Eastern magnificence, but simply a. town about twelve leagues distant. These messengers, in the course of their journey, observed, for the first time, the application of tobacco to smoking. This was de scribed as being in the form of a roll of a large quantity of the leaf, one end of which was on fire, the smoke be ing inhaled by the mouth from the other, a process which occasioned the Spaniards much surprise. Thus, observes Navarette, was the first lesson given to Euro peans, of this extraordinary habit, that has become uni versal ; and hence the origin of the so-much prized and so far celebrated Havanas. The natives on being questioned why they adopted the practice, replied as well as they could be understood, that it prevented them from feeling fatigue. Las Cams, the Spanish his torian, is the first to exclaim against tne custom, being unable on his part to di , cover the benefit that was to be derived from it, ; but Navarote inadvertently supplies a sati,..fitctory answer, one that applies to other states as well as Spain, in simply observing, Who would have. supposed that this new and curious vice could have be come so general, as to he one of the most profitable sources of revenue to the State ? This after all appears to be the most beneficial result of the n4e of the weed in all the various ways in which it is applied. Captain Itccelor, iu his recently publi-hod allowable wink, the " Lan !fall of Columbus," p. 356, observes—Hero, as stated by Las Casas, is the origin of smoking tobacci, a practice which, however extensive it may be in other countries, has become so general in this, that, to the discredit of parents, it is even followed by childran ! the ete"nal cigar is seen in the mouth of old and young, even in that of the ragged urchin, who swaggers along not only astonikling those who see him at his early hardi hood, but leaving them to speculate how he came by it, considering the price which must have been paid for it.

WIFE BEATING.—Charles Ilannan, a tall middle-aged man, residing at 16, Porter-street, Newport-market, was charged before Mr. Beadon with violently assaulting his wife, Ann Hannan. Complainant, whose eyes were dreadfully contused and covered with a bandage, stated that on the previous evening she was endeavouring to arrange matters be tween two friends who were quarrelling, when the de fendant, without the slightest provocation, struck her a violent blow in the face with his fist, and blackened her eye. She direQtly ran up stairs and went to bed, but she had no sooner laid down than he rushed into the room and struck her again with great force, and blackened the other eye. He was proceeding to further violence when her cries attracted the notice of a constable who was passing, and who took him into custody. The prisoner, in reply to Mr. Beadon, said he might have struck his wife, but he knew nothing whatever about it, as he was drunk at the time. Mr. Beadon said that was a poor excuse for the dread ful beating he had given his wife, and committed hixt for six months. SOUTHWARK. FEROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE—ATTEHH TO BITE MS FINGER OFF.—Timothy Caghlin, a ruffianly looking old man, was brought up in custo•ly charged with committing a ferocious aesault upon Thos. Green, police-constable 137 M, and attempting to bite one o f his fingers off. The complainant, whose left hand was bandaged up, and who appeared to be suffering much from the inju ries he had received, stated that on Sunday morning, shortly before 1 o'clock, he was on duty in Kent•street, when the prisoner came up to him in a wild kind of a a manner and said, " Come with me, and take my wife into custody, as she has attempted to stab me." Wit ness went with him up a court close by and looked for his wife, but she could not be found. As he was leaving that place the prisoner suddenly turned upon him like madman, and threatened to have his life, at the same time knocking him against the wall. The prisoner then struck him in the mouth, when witness seized hold of him and pulled him out of the court. Several per soos came round them, and a man close by knocked him down ; he still kept hold of the prisoner, who, while struggling on the ground, contrived to get the forefinger of his left hand in his mouth, and nearly bit it off at the second joint. The pain was so excruciating that he was compelled to let go his hold of him. Another constable secured the prisoner. The Magistrate remanded the fellow for a week, to ascertain the result of his violence. THE LOSS OP THE TAY. When the Magdalena arrived, last week, from the West Indies, she reported that the Tay bad failed to reach St. Thomas, with the Mexican mails, and that it was feared some accident had befallen her. Tee Royal Mail Company immediately ordered the Trent steamer to be got ready to proceed to the West ladies, in case the conketures about the Tay should be confirmed. The Toy was wrecked at the Lopez, or Bird Island, not far from Tampico, on the 30th of August last. The royal mail steamers lie at anchor at that island, waiting for mails, specie, passengers, and cargo from T am pi co , an d the Tay was lost in the hurricane that swept over the Mexican Gulf the latter end of August. Capt. Strutt was in command of the steamer, and Li e ut. S tewart , R.N., was in charge of the mails. The crew, pas sengers, and mails were saved. The Tay is the third steamer belonging to the Royal Mail Company that has been lost in the Gulf of Mexico, the Forth and Tweed having been wrecked on the Alicrane Rocks in the Gulf some years since. The Tay was one of th e fi rst steamers built by the 'Pest India Company. Some years ago she ;-truck on a rock, and was abandoned by her then com mander, and an inferior officer remained with her and Hayed her from being wrecked. Two years ago she was lengthened, and was placed on the Brazil line. It is marvellous that more steamers are not lost in the Mexi can Gulf, as the northers there are o f t h e most fearful making in ogf scarcely the Tay w ill most an kind. Oftentimes the mail packets hasvcaertcoputy head way.onfull steam for hours, and even days together, m ere l y to with stand i i .terrible particulars tempests,of the probably first reach Blighted Vies New York, as there will be no news from the Gulf via St. Thomas in ordi nary course until the latter end of this month, or the be ginning of November. THE LOST FOUND.—Oh Friday, after several days of anxiety and fear, the owner and the friends of the crew of the brig Excavator, of North Shields, received a tele• graphic message that that vessel had arrived in safety in a port in Holland, where she had sought shelter. She bad sailed 15 days, and bad been long overdue.

Emigration Record, Oct. Ist, 1850. SERIOUS A.COIDENT AT BATTY'S MENAGERIE.—An accident occurred on Saturday night at Batty's Mena gerie.
