BAROMETER-30.0. WIND—E as terly—light ; with fine, cool, clear weather, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 30, 1861. If the Emperor of AUSTRIA will gowrong, it will not be for want of warnings. M. KOSSUTH'S opinions he may well be expected to overlook ; the patriot and the despot are naturally sworn enemies ; and the opinions, first that FRANCIS JOSEPH being a Hapsburg must inevitably be an oath-breaker not to be relied on ; next that were he an ALFRED Hungary could not have him for her King while he was Emperor of AUSTRIA, are opinions which his Majesty is certainly never likely to accept. The first is, however, certainly true, the second is in conflict with the experience of other countries ; with that of our own in bygone days, and that of Norway and Sweden at the present moment. The conflict of the two incompatible sec tions of the American Union is what tends as much support to the truth of M. KOSSUTH'S view as anything. Still Hungary has got on for cen turies with a Hapsburg dynasty, and if it could but obtain the requisite safeguards might do so again. But whether the EMPEROR will listen to M. KOSSUTH or not, he is bound not to spurn the advice of the Hungarian Stadtholderath. Its members do not reject his authority, or repudiate the personal Union, or desire to break up the Empire ; they are loyal ; but demand as loyal men that their sove reign shall be loyal too; they point out to him that loyalty is his strength ; they ask him to their capital, the capital of the country of which he desires to be King. They are willing to pay him the customary homage ; they offer him a kingdom, but a kingdom as it is, with all its defects and all its merits; he is welcome to what many of the am bitious ones of Europe would jump at,—the peace ful possession of a noble constitutional kingdom, but then it must be governed constitutionally; on any other terms, it would be a trouble and a curse to any. The Emperor is now, therefore, offered an excellent opportunity of retracing his steps if he see fit to do so. That nothing might be wanting to give effect to the appeal of the Board, the Cardinal Primate of Gran, who was absent when the resolutions were voted, has publicly indicated his concurrence with the rest ; and not only that, but has refused, as Lord Lieutenant of the county, to give effect to the Im perial orders for the levy of troops. The aged primate appears to be a thorough Hungarian patriot, and acts with all the rest of his country ' men—Lutherans and Calvinists, as well as Catholics. In fact, the more we look at it, the more it becomes evident that the resistance of the Hungarians is as conservative, as it is patriotic and liberal. It is liberal only in the sense that it is for constitutional selLgovernment, such as our most stanch Tories here would assert under the same circumstances, at the hazard of their lives. But it is conservative as distinguished from demo cracy, and as the conservation of the rights of all classes, nobles as well as peasants. What the meaning of the last announcement is— that Austria had appointed an Hungarian Adminis tration which should carry out the intentions of Government, though without martial law—we are not quite sure. We suspect it will prove to be a foreign (German) Administration, with, possibly, some Germanised Hungarians in it, who will if practicable, supersede all the present Hungarian functionaries, and endeavour to fill their places with partisans of the Vienna Government. There, they think, that Hungarians may be found who will act on German views; but the informants on whose opinion we are most disposed to rely, believe this to be utterly imprac- - - ticable. They all join in assuring ns, that no Hungarian with a character to keep could so lower himself in the estimation of his countrymen, as to take office under an enemy in the very crisis of her struggle. The fifty-two counties, with their separate little municipal parliaments, are, in the eyes of Viennese statesmen, so many hot-beds of sedition. Their desire is to extinguish them if they can ; but this being not easy in a country governed thus locally from time immemorial, their scheme is to take the appointment of the lecal officials out of their hands, and to fill the posts with creatures of Austria. We have little doubt that this treasonable device will prove, if it be attemped to carry it out, the ruin of its authors. A whole people are not to be tricked out of their rights by a few. It seems, however, that the Austrians stick at no illegality ; that they are thorough re volutionists; but that they are lik e l y t o s hi pwreck themselv es on the immoveable endurance of a large nation. Already the EMPEROR and his ad v i sers begin to look very silly ; fo r the longer they hold out, the more all Europe sees that the Hungarians are right and the EMPEROR wrong. lie cannot long maintain such a position. Practical joking is one of the greatest disgraces of civilised society, and it was a subject of great satisfaction to all reflective persons when the Duke of CAMBRIDGE so effectually put it down with a strong hand in the army some years ago.

Then those whom education and proper feeling cannot restrain from misconducting themselves would be compelled by the law to be more circumspect, and thus gradually from one motive or another the stigma would be removed that now seems indelibly fixed in our society. At a recent case that appeared before the magistrates at Nottingham the ends of justice were not met by the decision arrived at by those assembled in conclave. These worthy gentlemen should have borne in mind the maxim—"Judex damnatur cum nocens absolvitur" before they allowed a small fine to be sufficient penalty for such outrageous conduct as that of which the defendants were convicted. Nothing could excuse or justify their behaviour, and those who sit in judgment on such offenders should inflict the severest penalty of the law, or, as in this instance, have followed the suggestions of the complainant's legal adviser, and sent the case for trial at the sessions. The facts appeared before the public on Saturday, and, doubtless, created just indignation in many quarters. The unfortunate complainant, Mr. BROOKE, had accepted, in an evil hour, an invitation to dinner from an acquaintance ; after the meal was concluded, the host absented himself for some time. During this interval the two other guests commenced a series of absurdities, ending with absolute assaults on the unhappy Mr. BROOKE. The complainant stated among other things in his evidence the follow ing startling facts, which would have been conclusive evidence with most men concerning the enormity of the defendant's conduct, " Shortly after dinner the defendant BURTON left the room and was absent a considerable time, while he was away BLACKWELL and BURROWS asked complainant if he could count the pictures on the wall blindfolded, to which he replied that he could not, nor had he come for that purpose. The two defendants then commenced sparring round the room, until they reached his chair, and then fell on to him. He was then dragged into the hall and thence on the lawn. Here they commenced the most revolting indecencies against the complainant. They afterwards pulled him violently about, tearing his clothes into shreds. BURROWS threw a pot of har ness-blacking on to him, blacked his face, and then poured a quantity of treacle upon him, and ultimately covered him with flour. Some liquid had been previously thrown into his face which caused him very great pain, and for a time blinded him. Mr. BURTON came home whilst defendants were assaulting him and stood by laughing. After a severe struggle, in which com plainant smashed a very costly set of China, he got away, but the injuries he received were so severe that he was confined to his bed for two days in consequence." Notwithstanding all this the absurdly small penalty of five pounds was inflicted on each defendant who stood convicted of such cul pable conduct, such unmanly outrages. It is earnestly to be hoped that in future, when like miscreants are arraigned before any court in the kingdom, that the majesty of the law of England will be vindicated, and that fitting retribution w visit all similar offenders. Thus only can we expect that these practices will be for ever put down, and that, by public reprobation expressed in the strongest terms, the utmost penalty of the law may be exacted, and thus disgrace may deter those whom propriety cannot restrain from improper conduct. The more stringent the measures the sooner the cure, and the more lasting and effectual the remedy; and it behoves gentlemen in high position to do all they can tostay this glaring evil that seems to gain ground among so many classes of the community. A very curious affair took place on Saturday last at the General Post-office which verifies the old adage about accidents occurring in the best regu lated establishments, and also calls somewhat im peratively for an explanation. This, we understand, it is likely to receive, as an investigation into the circumstances took place yesterday. It would seem, from the received account of the matter, that 500 bankers' 'parcels arrived at the General Post-office on Saturday morning last, in the ordinary course, which ought naturally to have been forwarded to the several parties to whom they were addresed by the first delivery. They did not, however, reach their destinations until a late hour in the afternoon, long after business hours. On the arrival of the mails on that morning the whole of the correspon dence was, as usual, placed in baskets to be sent round to tl e stampers and sorters, pre liminary to their being entrusted to the letter carriers. From some unexplained cause two of these baskets containing the bankers' parcels whose enclosure of notes and bills might be valued at hundreds of thousands, were pushed under " the road" where the letters were eorted, and there, it is said, were forgotten. It is somewhat curious that this, by far the most valuable and important, branch of the correspondence should be so entirely over looked; and that no surprise was felt among the sorters at the non-arrival of the customary packets. However, the mistake was not discovered; no in spector or overloooker, whose duty it is to search for the smallest letter or parcel, lighted upon these two capacious baskets bearing the hopes and expectations, in some instances, possibly the solvency, of anxiously - waiting men of busi ness. When the red-coated messenger had distributed his various charges, minus the missing parcels, inquiries began to be made by bankers, merchants, and even the authorities of the Bank of England, whose five absent parcels excite, however, less sympathy than those of their fellow sufferers. The answer received at the Post-office was unsatis factory. The whole of the letters and parcels which had arrived, it was said, had been sent out for delivery. Recourse was imme diately had to the assistance of the tele graph, and before long the electric wires were flashing the same anxious inquiry to all parts of the kingdom, only, however, to make that darker which was dark enough before. Very soon the magic messenger brought back the intelligence that all the missing parcels had been forwarded in the ordinary way. The consternation in the city may be easily imagined when the nature of the remittances are considered, and the immense sums which change hands in the metropolis in the course of one day. In all directions means were employed to trace the absent missives, but without avail. Meanwhile the authorities at St. Martin's prgimerseonwanit f armed in their turn.

Two were rummaged out from a dark retreat, and the lost parcels came to light. We are not surprised to learn that the bankers have determined to call upon the authorities for a full explanation, which the officials will no doubt be as anxious to obtain as themselves. Such an occurrence is little short of miraculous, if en tirely accidental,when we reflect upon the regularity and exactitude of the postal arrangements, and the few solitary mistakes which occur in a daily delivery of hundreds of thousands. When we con sider, however, the vast importance attaching to the receipt of the sums contained in these parcels, and the vital interest which some might have in their punctual payment, we cannot regard their delay as a mere trifling accident or laughable disaster. Credit and for tune should not be at the mercy of careless clerks, and if the occurrence proves to have been entirely the result of negligence among the employes, we should recommend the authorities to render one party re sponsible, and appoint one of the clerks to the special supervision of the bankers' parcels. THE COURT.—According to the present arrange ment her Majesty and the Prince Consort and. Royal Family will take their departure from Windsor, and proceed to the Isle of Wight on the 2d Dec. next, where the Court will re main until the 3d of Jan., and afterward return to Windsor. VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO CLUMBER.—We believe we may announce that her Majesty the Queen has signified her intention of visiting the Duke of Newcestle at an early day. Great preparations are being made at Clumber in anticipation of this visit. The Duke and Duchess of Manchester left town yesterday for their seat, Kimbolton Castle, Huntingdon shire. The Duchess of Somerset arrived at the Admi ralty yesterday, from Stover Park, the ducal seat in Devon , shire. The Marquis of Lansdowne has not been indis posed. His lordship hurt his foot recently, and has since used a bath chair at Bowood, which probable gave rise to the rumour published by our contemporaries. The Earl of Shelburne is in Ireland. The Earl of Harrowby and Viscount and Vis countess Sandon have arrived at their residence in Grosve nor-square from Sandon Hall, Staffordshire. The Earl and Countess Stanhope arrived at their seat, Chevening Park, yesterday, from a tour on the Continent. The Earl and Countess of Aberdeen have arrived at Argyll House from Haddo House, Aberdeenshire. The Earl and Countess of Craven leave town to day for Coome Abbey, Coventry. Viscount and Viscountess Campdon have arrived at Claridge's Hotel from Campden House, Gloucestershire. Lord Dacre, who has recently arrived at the Hoo from his shooting quarters in Inverness-shire, has re covered frm the injuries he received from the accidental discharge of his rifle, while out shooting at the close of the season. Lady Westbury and the Hon. Augusta Bethell have arrived in Belgrave-square. Lord and Lady Ashburton have arrived at the Grange, Hants, from Scotland. Lord Blantyre and the Hon. Mr. Stuart have returned from a tour in Bohemia, and gone to meet Lady Blantyre, who is with the family circle staying with the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland at Clefden, near Maiden head. THE FUNERAL OF SIR JAMES GRAHAM.—The remains of Sir James Graham will be interred at Arthuret Church, near Longtown, Cumberland, this (Wednesday) morning. The funeral will be strictly private, by the ex press wish of the deceased. INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—We are requested to state that the holders of the ordinary season tickets for the Exhibition will not be admitted to the gardens of the Horticultural Society without extra pay rent. MIDDLE TEMPLE LlBRARY.—Members are re quested to call during this day at the Treasury-office, Middle Temple, for their tickets of admission to the ceremony of the opening of the Library by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to-morrow. THE BISHOPS OF DURHAM AND GLOCESTER.— The Right Rev. Dr. Baring, who has been elected by the dean and chapter of Durham to the bishopric of that see, rendered vacant by the death of the Hon. and Right Rev. Dr. Henry Montagu Villiers, will be confirmed in his elec tion at York on Tuesday next, the sth of November, imme diately after which he will take possession of the see and be formally enthroned in the cathedral. Until that time the see of Glocester and Bristol cannot be declared vacant. Her Majesty's conge d' elire authorising the election of Dr. William Thomson to the bishopric of Ulocester and Bristol will be addressed to the dean and chapter of Glocester (the dean and chapter of Bristol having elected Dr. Baring in 1856), pursuant to the provisions of an Order in Council, which directs that in the case of a united see the election shall be made by the dean and chapter of either cathedral alternately. The consecration cannot, in consequence of the delay which has occurred, be performed before the ex piration of three or four weeks. Dr. Thomson will resign the preachership of Lincoln's-inn in the course of the forth coming term. THE LAST OF THE INDIA -HOUSE.—The most valuable of the contents of the East India House having been either sold by auction or transferred to the new quer • ters of the Indian Government in Victoria-street, the ma terials of the building itself are to be disposed of by public sale on Monday next. Included in the list will be the new museum, with its elegantly slender, moulded, and highly decorated columns, supporting the interior of an arcaded quad rangle, surmounted by an ornamental domed lantern, and paved in mosaic work. The museum, which is a beau tiful example of Moorish and Indian architecture, was erected about three years since, from the designs of Mr. Digby Wyatt. In addition to this there are 15,000 feet of York and Portland paving, 4,000 feet run of Portland coping, stone tills, stringing, cornice and other stonework, 2,000 feet of sheet copper, 200 tons of lead on the roofs, 2,000 squares of flooring boards, 1,700 doors of all kinds, including some of solid mahogany, and an immense variety of other materials, covering an acre and a half of ground. THE CHRYSANTHEMUMS IN THE TEMPLE GAR DENS.—By order of the benchers, the Temple-gardens were thrown open yesterday morning, and will continue open during the week (with the exception of Thursday), in order that the public may havd ample opportunities of seeing Mr. Broome's splendid growth of chrysanthemums and pom poms.. For many years past Mr. Broome has distin guished himself by splendid collections of these beautiful flowers, but this year he appears to have eclipsed all his former efforts, and has produced a floral show of the most magnificent character. Three sides of the square are occu pied by the flowers, the best specimens being ranged on the north side of the garden, and placed under canvass. The artistic manner in which they are disposed reflects great credit on Mr. Broome's skill. Some of the flowers are of gigantic proportions, considering the circ ums t ances under which they ordinarily develop themselves (par ticularly the classes ranged unde r t h e titles of " The Golden Queen of England," " The Queen of E ng l an d," "M. Laborde," and " Lady Hardinge") ; and the pom pones, which are the dwarfs of chrysanthemums, ap pear to have a tt a i ne d per f ec ti on as nearly as possible.' These flowers, which have hitherto been conspicuous only e y x e p a e r r h im ad en a t s h li a g s h o t f s te c n ent b o e f en lav tr e i n e d d er w i nith f uouset for their beauty o f co l our an d d e li cacy of form, have this d a n i n y t o g t o h o e d m r . e The ult but the success of the present year leads to the hope that Mr. Broome may in future years achieve still greater suc cesses in the same direction. Connoisseurs, and the public generally, should not lose time in seeing this display of which Templars are justly proud, as a wet day or two, or a nipping night frost, would effectually mar the beauty of the delicate flowers. ATTEMPTED DOUBLE SUICIDE.—Some few details of a most melancholy case transpired in Chester yesterday. A young man named W. Edward Davies, who was recently an apprentice to a chemist and druggist at Rhyl, had ob tained, in the shape oft is said, ho intendedabequestfromarel to commenceative, asumof business mon eyw o i n th hi w s own account. i account. Previously however, to car rying out this intention he, like many other youths in a similar position, resolved to enjoy himself for a few days, and last week, taking with him from £5O to £lOO, he ar• rived in Chester. There he fell in with a good-looking girl of loose character, named Elizabeth Thompson, de- scribed as the daughter of a farmer near Shrewsbury. With her he spent several days in riot and dissipation. On Saturday last the guilty pair went on a visit to Liverpool, and there, not unnaturally, the young man began to te e ] _ __ _ remorse and shame for the foolish manner in which he had squandered his money and misconducted himself. While under the influence of this feeling he managed, without the knowledge of the girl, to purchase a bottle of laudanum ; but as they were returning to Chester on Sunday evening by rail she saw the bottle, guessed that he had a fatal intention, took it from him, and threw it out of the carriage. On Sunday evening, however, Davies went out, and, having written a regular prescription, . - succeeded in purchasing four ounces of laudanum at two different druggists' shops. By some course of argument at present unknown ho succeeded in inducing the girl to swallow the contents of one phial at the same time that he took the other. The effects of the laudanum on the girl were such as to induce her to give the alarm. The result was that a surgeon was sent for; they were both taken to the infirmary, where the usual remedies were administered —successfully in the case of the woman;but unsuccessfully in the case of the man, who died in the course of the night. A coroner's jury viewed the body of Davies yesterday, but the inquest will not be held till to-morrow. Thompson was transferred to the custody of the police, and was brought before the city magistrates yesterday morning, but was re manded, to avait the result of the inquest,--Liverpool .Mercury. LA'T'EST N F vvs _J BERLIN, OCT. 29. Reports are current in financial circles in this city that Messrs. Rothschild are negotiating with the Prussian Bank for the conclusion of a financial operation by which the Bank of France would receive 15,000,000 thalers in silver. The reports do not state how far these negotiations have at present succeeded. Letters received from St. Petersburg, dated the 25th inst., announce that fresh conflicts took place between the authorities and the students at the re- • opening of the university. Seven hundred students applied for re-admission, and on the 24th inst. demanded that those students who had not received a card of admission should, nevertheless be admitted into the university. Fresh tumults thereupon ensued in the university buildings, resulting in the interference of the mili tary. The students made an active resistance. Two hundred of them were arrested. One student was wounded. It is not thought that this conflict will lead to the reclosing of the university. TURIN, OCT. 29 (Evening.) The Opinione of to-day publishes a telegram from Brussels announcing that the Belgian Govern ment has recognised the Kingdom of Italy. PARIS, OCT. 29. The Pattie of this evening contains the fol- lowing : "The principal bases of the convention for the allied intervention in Mexico are said to be-Ist, to obtain redress for the subjects of the intervening Powers; and 2d, the necessity for Europe to con stitute in Mexico a strong Government capable of maintaining order and security. "It is asserted that France will send half a bri gade to Mexico." The Paris evening papers deny the truth of a statement made by a Belgian journal that negotia- tions for the cession of Venetia by Austria had been entered into between that Power and France. RAGUSA, OCT. 29. News from Mostar reports that the Turks have suffered great loss in their recents conflicts with the insurgents. The latter are advancing against Popovo. Turkish reinforcements are being despatched to Trebigne. BERNE, OCT. 29. France has accepted the proposal of the Federal Council that a fresh inquiry should be made into the affair at Ville-la-Grand by a mixed commission appointed for that purpose. FRANCE. A Paris letter in the Independanee says :—" The story has been revived here that negotiations are to take place on the question of Venetia, and that the compensations offered to Austria, in case she should consent to cede that province, would betaken from the provinces of the Porte, and especially from those in which the Sultan has great diffi culty in maintaining his suzerainty. But nothing precise is known as to the means of executing such a plan, and, moreover, very little hope of its success is entertained. As to Rome, the mere rumour of a negotiation being opened on the question of Venetia proves that the French occu pation of that city is to be maintained for an in definite period. BOURSE, Oct. 29.—Stock continues offered for the arrangements of the settlement, and prices have undergone a further decline, Threes, for the Account, being now at 67f 80c.

We are informed, by a private telegram, from an authentic source, that on Thursday last serious disturbances took place at St. Petersburg and at Moscow. The soldiers used their weapons, and many students were wounded. AMERICA, The Montreal Ocean Steamship Company's screw steamer Norwegian arrived in Liverpool yesterday afternoon from Quebec, whence she sailed on Satur day, the 18th inst. She was detained by fog for 12 hours in the river St. Lawrence. The following is the text of Mr. Seward's answer to the Governors of States relative to the fortifica tion of the seaboard :-- "Department of State, Washington, Oct. 14. " To his Excellency. Governor of the State of New York. " Sir,—The present insurrection had not even re vealed itself in arms when disloyal citizens hastened to foreign countries to invoke their intervention for the overthrow of the Government and the destruc tion of the Federal Union. These agents are known to have made their appeals to some of the more im portant States without success. It is not likely, however, that they will remain content with such refusals. Indeed ft is understood that they are in dustriously endeavouring to accomplish their dis loyal purpose by degrees and by indirection. Taking advantage of the embarrassments of agriculture, manufactures, and commerce, in foreign countries, resulting from the insurrection they have inaugu rated at home, they seek to involve our common country in controversies with States with which every public interest and every interest require that it shall remain in relations of peace, amity, and friendship. lam able to state for your satisfaction that the prospect of any such disturbance is now less serious•than it has been at any previous period during the course of the insurrection. It is, never theless, necessary now, as it has hitherto been, to take every precaution that is possible to avoid the evils of a foreign war, to be superinduced upon those of civil commotion which we are endeavouring to cure. One of the most obvious of such precautions is that our ports and harbours in the seas and lakes should be put in a condition of complete defence, for any nation may be said to voluntarily incur danger in tempestuous seasons when it fails to show that it has sheltered itself on every side from which the storm might possibly come. " The measures which the Executive can adopt in this emergency are such only as Congress has sanctioned, and for which it has provided. The President is putting forth the most diligent efforts to execute these measures, and we have the great satisfaction of seeing that these efforts are seconded by the favour, aid, and support of a loyal, patriotic, and self-sacrificing people, and are rapidly bringing the military and naval forces of the United States into the highest state of efficiency; but Congress was chiefly absorbed during the recent session with those measures, and did not provide as amply as could be wished f or th e f or tification of our sea and lake coast. " In previous wars the loyal States have applied themselves by independent and separate activity to support and aid the Federal Government in its arduous responsibilities. The same disposition has been manifested in a degree eminently honourable by all the loyal States during the present insurrec tion. " In view of this fact, and relying upon the in• crease and continuance of the same disposition on part of the loyal States, the President has directed me to invite your comideration to the subject of the improvement and fortification of the defences of the State over which you preside, and ask you to sub mit the subject to the consideration of the Legisla ture when it shall have assembled. Such proceed ings by the State require only a temporary use of its means. The expenditures ought to be made the subject of conference with the Federal Government. Being thus made with the concurrence of the Go vernment for general defence, there is every reason to believe that Congress would sanction what tLe State should do, and would provide for its reim bursement. Should these suggestions be accepted the President will direct proper agents of the Fe deral Government to confer with you, and to super intend, direct, and conduct the prosecution of the system of defence of your State. " I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, "W m. IL SEWARD." The commander of the blockading squadron off Charleston had been superseded for allowing the Confederate steamer Nashville, with the English and French commissioners, to escape. Vessels had been despatched in pursuit of the Nashville. The mission of these commissioners is, it is stated, not only to negotiate treaties of extraordinary commer cial advantages with tl - ese Powers, but to place the Southern Confederacy for a limited period under their protection. They were expected to land in the West Indies and proceed to England by British steamers. Washington letters report that the order relative to the exchange of prisoners would shortly lead to the discharge of all the prisoners held both by the Federals and the Confederates. Sir James Ferguson and Mr. Burke arrived at New York on the 16th from Manassas. A despatch, dated Point of Rocks, October 17, says,— " Colonel Geary, with a part of the force under his command, achieved a glorious victory yesterday, at Bolivar, Virginia, against a greatly superior force of cavalry, artillery, and infantry, capturing four 32-pounders and some prisoners, who report the rebel loss as not less than 150 men in kilted and wounded. Our loss was 4 killed and 7 wounded, 1 mortally, and 1 missing. Colonel Geary was slightly wounded by a shell. The fight lasted five hours." Oa the 16th a detachment of 1,000 troops from the 12th Massachusetts, Colonel Leonard, and a Pennsylvania regiment, crossed the river at Boli var and attacked the enemy, 1,600 strong, driving them back from the river, and capturing a 32- pounder. On the 16th the Confederates showed themselves on Bolivar heights at Harper's Ferry, and com menced an attack with artillery upon three com panies, under Major S. B. Gould. of the 13th Mas sachusetts, stationed on the north side of the Poto mac. A constant fire was kept up for some hours, when three companies of the 3d Wisconsin Regi ment crossed the river, formed into line and drove the enemy back, and captured one of their heavy guns. They were, however, compelled to retreat, but in good order, to the river, where they were re inforced by three other companies. They then,with Colonel Geary at their head, marched upon the ene my, and after hard fighting drove them from their position, and recaptured the gun, a 62-pounder columbiad. A number of vessels had sailed for Hampton Roads, to join the expedition. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 29. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Shannon, Captain Abbott, with the above mail, has arrived. She brings 75 passengers, specie value 1,246,246 dollars, comprising gol I bullion, £77,683; gold coin, £3,452 ; silver bullion, £63,171 ; silver coin, £100,940; also pearls, £2,860; jewellery, £5,330; and platina, £2BO. Her cargo consists of' 544 serons cochineal, 181 serons indigo, 52 serons jalap, 120 cases cigars, 116 bales tobacco, 222 casks and 66 tierces coffee, 13 casks ginger, 10 packages vanilla, 7 turtle, 3 cases succades, 299 bales bark, 74 bales indiarubber, 50 bags cocoa, 78 packages silver ore, and 373 packages sundries. Her Majesty's ship Termagant was at Panama, Desperate at Vera Cruz ; Cygnet, Landrail, Bara couta, and Imaum, at Jamaica ; Cadmus at Trini dad. The English bark Sir Walter Raleigh, of Liverpool, bound from Montego Bay to the former port, with a cargo of sugar, rum, &c., ran on the beach 20 miles north of Cape Florida, and became a total wreck. The captain and ten of the crew were lost. The British bark Evangeline, of Sunderland, bound from St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, to London, with a cargo of sugar, was destroyed by fire, after being fourteen days out, in lat. 27 deg. north, long. 71 deg. west. The captain and crew were saved. From Barbadoes there is nothing to note in public affairs. The House of Assembly met on the Bth, but nothing of importance was done. The Governor left on the 26th for St. Lucia, the admi ❑istrator of which, Mr. Breen, had been dismissed from the public service, it is said for gross miscon duct in connection with the coolie immigration. The Demerara Court of Policy met on the 25th ult. and on the 2d inst. The bill to regulate the sale of opium and bhang had been the subject of considerable discussion, and had, with various modifications and amendments, passed through committee. The weather continued hot and dry, and the canes rapidly maturing. Manufacturing operations were being carried on with increased activity, and were expected to continue to the end of the year. Exchange on London per £lOO, drawing at 90 days, 480 dols. ; 60 days, 483 dole. ; 30 days, 486 dols. ; three days, 489 dole.; sight, 500 dole.; purchasing at 90 days, 472 dole. The Jamaica Legislature was to meet for the despatch of business on the 12th proximo. Rumours were rife that it was the intention of the party lately in power in the House of Assembly to offer a most determined opposition to the Government. The weather was exceedingly fine, and agriculture of every description was in a very forward state. The Panama Star says the accounts received from Bogota of the success of the Liberal army are conflicting. By a private letter, we learn that Santander and An tioquia had declared to remain by the old govern ment. Canal, it is said, was marching with a force of 4,000 men on Bogota ; and Santos Gutierrez had taken the field to oppose him. The conservatives say that Gutierrez had been defeated, but the repor wants confirmation. On the other hand, we learn from another source that Mosquera was very successful, having won a battle in Tolima, freeing the upper Magdalena; that there were only 1,000 under arms in Antioquia, which state, however, still held out; and that Santander was nearly quieted in favour of the liberals. A congress of representatives had met at Bogota. General Mosquera had, by a decree, in creased the army to 19,000 men, and to carry out the order, all citizens from 15 to 50 years of age were subject to be pressed into the service. From Carthagcna welearn that Nieto had despatched two columns of 500 and 300 men respectively to aid Mosquera. Mosquera has decreed an issue of 500,000 doll. in Treasury notes to pay off citizens who hold claims against the Government. Foreigners are not obliged to receive these notes, but their claims will be paid in cash. All the monks and nuns in Bogota have been turned out and their property confiscated by Mosquera, which, it is said, has caused great dissatisfaction. Senor Mercado has been nominated Intendentet to Panama, and Senor Manuel Maria Mosquera has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to Wash ington, and Commissioner under the Cass Herran treaty, instead of Senor Jose Marcelino Hurtado, who was appointed by the Ospina Government General Ilerran is still very ill in Antioquia. In Ecuador the government was expecting Pre sident Castilla, of Peru, would soon commence war against the former country, and Guayaquil Wa s being fortified in consequence. Active efforts aro being made to re construct the city of Mendoza. From Chili we have very little news of conse quence. The political situation of the Republic is represented as being very satisfactory, and the inaugural of the President, Don Jose J. Perez, has been well received throughout the provinces. The commercial crisis •?ontinues, although the failures are on a smaller scale. The country presents a favourable prospect as regards agriculture and the mines are improvi ng . , - The news from ,Boliyia rather more fayow:able ' August. 21-1 E BRAZILIAN 112 AIL. LISBON, OCT. 29. Exchange at Bahia was quoted 252. Nothing was doing in the cotton market. Sugar—whites, 2,700 to 2,800; browns, 2,000 to 2,050. Tobacco, 5,800 to 6,000. At Pernambuco exchange was 251. Sugar— whites, 4,000 to 4,200; browns, 1,900. to 2,000. Cottons, 9,400. OPENING OF THR MIDDLE TEMPLE LIBRARY. The usually silent courts of the Middle Temple are quite alive just now with the hum of preparation for the ceremonial which is to take place on Thurs day next. How briefs find their way through the confusion to their rightful owners it is difficult to say, and but that term is so near at hand, one would almost think that all business was at a standstill. But though much still remains to be done, the work is pressed forward with such vigour that everything will be ready by to-night. The Benchers are sparing neither trouble nor expense to do proper honour to the occasion, and to accommodate all who have claims to be present. The demand for tickets has been much greater than was anticipated, for members of the society are coming up from all parts of the country, and as tie Hall, spacious as are its proportions, would not contain a third of the ex pected company, the whole area of Fountain-court has been included in a handsome pavilion, which ought to accommodate pretty nearly 500 guests. In the small garden round the fountain arcades of ever greens and other floral decorations have been raised, and when illuminated by the lime light it will no doubt be a much frequented promenade at the even ing conversazione. New arrangements have been made, too, for lighting the interior of the hall, which will show off the fine oak ceiling and panel ling to the greatest advantage. The Library is pretty nearly finished; the workmen are just giving the last touches to the staircase and the heraldic designs outside ; while inside the books are in their places, and all is ready for opening. Ac cording to the published programme, when the Prince arrives at 2 o'clock he will be first conducted to the Parliament Chamber, which occupies the site of the old Library, where he will be called to the bar and elected a Bencher, and hence the Benchers, with their illustrious brother, will go in procession to the Library, and open it due form. The terrace from the Hall to the Library has been covered in by an awning, which seems an unnecessary precau tion, particularly as it will rob many people of the only chance they would have of catching a glimpse of his Royal Highness from the windows of the chambers of Garden court. The distance is short, and the side space limited, so that a very small pro portion of the company will be able to get places along the line, and the awning will cut off all view from above. In the Library an address will be pre sented to the Prince, after which there will be a short service in the Temple Church, for which a special form of prayer has been drawn up by the Master. The dejeuner in the Hall and Pavilion follows, and at 6 o'clock there will be a conversa- zione in the new Library. A guard of honour of 80 rank and file Inns of Court Volunteers will be on duty to receive his Royal Highness. THIS DAY'S AIARA.ETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market was moderately good, and the inquiry, both for red and white qualities, ruled inactive, at Monday's decline in the quotations. "With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied. Importers generally were disinclined to submit to any reduction in prices, and the amount of business transacted was much restricted, at about former rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, and no change took place in their value. The show of barley was limited, and the trade ruled firm, at very full prices. The demand for malt was mostly confined to new quail ies, at late rates. Oats moved off heavily, and in some instances the cur rencies were rather lower. Beaus and peas were firm, and fully as dear as on Mon day. The flour trade was inactive, at Monday's quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

COBDEN, M.P.—We regret to learn that this gentleman is still troubled by the bronchial affection from which he suffered last winter, and that he contem plates the possibility of having to spend some of the winter months in a warmer climate. He has been obliged in con sequence to decline invitations to public meetings.—Leeds Memo y. THE REFORM CONFERENCE AT LEEDS.—The programme of this conference has been issued. From tho number of delegates that will be sent from various reform associations, and from the names of the eminent reformers who have promised to attend the conference, the proceed ings cannot fail to be of great interest, and its promoters appear to have arranged the programme with a steady view towards practical results. The days appointed for holding the conference are the IBth and 19th November. THE YELVERTON MARRIAGE CASE.—Yesterday, at the Palatine Hotel, Manchester, Mr. John Cay, the sheriff of Linlithgow, acting as commissioner from the Scottish Court of Session, heard evidence in the suit now marriage pendng inwSitchotli\ainidss L for o t n h g e w d o is r s t o h l . uti T on he of d l‘ e l p aj o o si r ti Y on el s v o e f rt f o o n u ' r s witnesses resident in Manchester, viz., Thomas Burton, Richard Stephenson, Thomas Daniel, and Geo. Campbell, sen., are held to be requisite, and, as the Scottish Court cannot order the attendance of these persons in Edinburgh, an order was o b tained last week from Mr. Baron Martin, in London, for their examination before Mr. Cay, at Man chester. Mr. J. Millar, advocate, and Mr. P. Adam, soli- cit)r, were present for Major Yelverton; and Mr. D. B. Hope, advocate, appeared for Mrs. Yelverton. 'lhe pro ceedings lasts d several hours, and were, as usual, conducted privately. It has been freely conjectured that the testimony elicited would have reference to circumstances connected with Mrs. Yelverton's life before her marriage, and which is said to have been passed chiefly in the neighbourhood of Manchester ; but all suppositions as to matters not stated in an open court are likely enough to be deceptive and in jurious. THE BIR➢IINGHAM CHARITIES. — The annual cus tom at Birmingham of collecting, on a particular Sunday, after service, at every church and chapel in the town and locality, for the charitable institutions of the town, took place last Sunday. Dr. Miller, as rector of the parish, pub. lished a stirring, appeal generally. The result was a liberal dole from all sections of religionists, the amount ascertained up tojut eymiAg beiANAearlY 4600, the rumours of an insurrection in the South were unfounded. The government continued at Ozuru.
