" Who runs may read.' rozsE A partial c h ange of Ministry arr. has taken place in Portugal. The Cortes, after a very unprofitable and wrangling session, was prorogued on th e 19th unt il the Ist o f December. Our Madrid correspondence is to the 18th, but con tains no news. Nothing doing on the Madrid Bourse. The King of the French was expected on Sunday at St. Cloud, previous to going to Fontainbleau, unless the wetness of the season should prevent the Royal Family spending the vintage at the latter place. The King and Queen of Prussia, travelling under the names of Count and Countess Be Goellern, arrived at Rastadt on the evening of the 21st, and left on the following morning for Friburg. The Leipsic Gazette of the 21st inst., mentions the existence at Breslau, in Silesia, of a society of Com munists, professing the same doctrines as the asso ciations of England and France, but who, to save ap pearances, pretended to meet for Christian purposes. The grand inauguration of the Walhalla, in Ger many, takes place on the 18th of October next, when the King of Bavaria solemnly opens it in person. Abd-el-Kader has now stationed his camp in the valleys of Chelif, where he has at least a thousand men at his command, with other parties. PUBLIC OPINION. The I>rrrald gives the following sketch of the late Marquis( Wellesley's Indian policy :—" The states manship te the Mar- -* Wellesl e y was c h aracter i sed by geniu s ;k •of conduct, by patriotism, by ' justice, by wisdom, and by success. He saved British India by his prudent sagacity and resolute defensive operations from foreign aggression and in ternal hostility secretly combined; he greatly and justly extended the limits of our eastern empire, and by that extension improved the condition of the mil lions whom his successful policy brought under the doinini:en of his grateful Sovereign ; .in laying down the Vice-Royalty of Indi a h e claimed—in vain—at the. hands of his mercantile employers for his fellow- e.itizens at home full and complete participation in Mel - rade and commerce of that mighty empire which his energy and wisdom had preserved and enlarged, and he returned home to have his services unappre ciated, his objects mis -stated, his motives maligned, and his administration slandered by envy amongst seeming friends, by malice amongst disappointed in triguers, and by faction amongst blindly infuriated politicians ; he was, however, amply rewarded by the applause and approbation of that great Minister.... b. Pitt —who had discovered his youthful merits, and given might, but worthy employment to his preco cious maturity of judgment. The mantle of Pitt de scended on the Marquis Wellesley." The Chronicle has the following observations : " A courageous following out of the policy chalked out by the Whi g Mi n i stry, and partly followed out by the present Administration, would relieve us from accumulating embarrassments and impending dangers, restate prosperity to the manufacturing districts, without inflicti ng di sas t er on the agricultural. If any of our readers still doubt this latter assertion, let them refer back to Mr. Greg's letter detailing his visit to the Lothians. The wealthy manufacturer is also a farmer ; and he has shown, in a very striking and satisfactory way, the beneficial influence which would result to agriculture from a sound policy with respect to the Corn-laws. Sure we are, that neither our agriculture nor our manufactures can stand the pre sent system. Sir Robert Peel's Corn-law is not— cannot be—a permanent measure. The question of wages, has been raised--that of rent is following; and Peace requires that both questions should be equitably and speedily settled." The Times thus alludes to the Ashburton dinner at New York :—" In our yesterday's paper appeared an account o f th e di nner given by the principal mer chants and others of New York to Lord Ashburton, Whatever may b e th e f ee li ngs with which different parties in England may regard some clauses of the treaty now concluded, it is at any rate with no small satisfaction that they must observe the warmth with which all parties in the United States join in hailing the establishment--we may very nearly say the re.: establishment—of friendly relations between these two great countries. Perhaps in nothing do we see the effects of this Noble Lord's mission so fully as in the turn which it seems to have given to popular feel ing. A lover of peace, reading the speeches which that meeting produced, can hardly fail to congratulate himself upon the change which has taken place since the mutabile vulgus of New York were clamouring for the conviction of M'Leod, and the Government scarcely bold enough to affront public opinion by dis countenancing the sympathizers of Buffalo." The Post says :—" We are enabled to state that by the treaty on the eve of conclusion for the regulation of the Stade toll, the King of Hanover will lose at least one-fourth of his toll revenue, and that his Ma jesty voluntarily submits to this sacrifice from a ge nerous desire to promote the interests and convenience v e ; _ofor coinmerce in general, a n d o f B r iti s h commerce r.P. p especi a lly. Th e intended treaty will simplify' iti'el,semode o f l evy i ng the toll by the removal of all un ssary an d trou b lesome forms. The duty is hence forth to be imposed u will, th erefore, fall upon pon the c argoes exc l us i ve l y, an d the consumers, while it w be too insignificant to deter them from the purchase of a single yard or pound of British manufacture that . they w ou ld h ave bought had Lord Palmerston's un just and insolent proposal been carried into effect. At the same time, the shipping interest of Great Britain will be highly benefit e d b y being freed from all fees, charges, an impediments whatever." zworninr— Taaan—conTlVlENCE. Twenty warehouses and sheds are the total number o f buildings destroyed by fire at Liverpool. On Sun , day evening the remains or a man were dug out of the ruins. The cotton saved is being carted away ; and yesterday a meeting of five of the principal insurance agents took place to manage the salvage and settle the Claims, but they have not yet come to any satisfactory account of the actual loss. Every milt in Manchester is now at work with its full complement of hands, excepting two. The same h the case throughout the counties of Lancashire, Cheshire, and Yorkshire. Bolton, perhaps, is the enlv exception. The twenty-third annual meeting of the City of London General Pension Society took place yester daye, at the Lond on T avern . Th e R eport stated 'that t he *vested funds amounted to 4,3141., and the balance in favour of the Society on the last year's accounts Was 209/. 2s. 10d.

A sunken rock, off Stoke Church, Dartmouth, which is not laid down in any chart, and occasions frequent damage to vessels, has been ordered to have its accurate position ascertained. LAW INTELLIGENCE INSOLVENT COURT—(THIS DAY.) IN RE ABRAHAM MAY. The insolvent in this case had carried on business at Colchester as an ironmonger. It appeared that his brother had caused execution to be issued against all his goods and stock-in-trade. After being subjected to a long and searching examination, this person stated that he had been insolvent himself some time back in consequence of his advances to his brother, and that the property when seld did not realise above j one half its value. The Learned CIIIEF COMMISSIONER said it was for tunate for the insolvent that none of the creditors came forward in opposition ; for if such were the case a remand would be certainly inflicted. As it was the Court would order him to be discharged. IN RE I. L. DAVEY. The insolvent held a situation in the Phoenix Fire Assurance office at Canterbury, and after some in • vestietion, the case was ordered to stand adjourned till Iriday next. POLICE INTELLIGENCE GUILDHALL. —(THIS DAY.) Thomas Potter and Elizabeth Goodwright were placed at the bar, having been remanded, charged with robbing their father, Thomas Potter, a Green wich pensioner. Mr. Thomas Russell, of hinting-house -square, the guardian of the parish, stepped forward, and said that Potter, the father, had been collector to the parish, and some months ago he was deficient in his accounts to a considerable amount. He then, as an excuse, said that his son, the prisoner at the bar, had forged some receipts and received the money. He then brought him before the Magistrate, but the boy was discharged, as there was no proof against him. He believed that there was not the slightest foundation in fact for this charge, but that it was merely instituted to get rid of the children. The boy in his defence said, that lie knew nothing of the robbery. There were people in the house the night before, extremely bad characters, and they left the day following. Mr. Alderman Kelly, who came in at the, moment said he believed everything Mr. Russell had stated. He (Mr. Kelly) had known the family too, and he knew the mother to be a drunken woman. The boy said, his mother-in-law would frequently make him sleep on the stairs. His father and mother had ruined his character, and he could get no work. Mr. Russell said, he would endeavour to get him into the Peckham Asylum.—Prisoners discharged. BOW-STREET. —(THIS DAY.) A young lad, named William S/nith, an errand boy in the employ of Mr. Walter James Scott; aurist, of 369, Strand, was charged with 'feloniously embezzling 261. 19s. 6d., the property of his master. Mr. Payne, foreman in the employ of Mr. Scott, stated, that on the 16th instant, he entrusted the prisoner with the above sum to take to the London and Westminster Bank, with which he absconded, and was only apprehended yesterday at his father's house. He was remanded for a week, as evidence will then be brought forward which is expected to implicate the father. Three stout-looking men, named Jackson, Camp.. bell, and Cameron, were placed at the bar charged with begging. An officer of the Mendicity Society proved the case. Mr. TWYFORD asked the prisoners for their histories. Jackson said that he was by trade a lathe and vice maker. He was thrown out of work about 21 weeks ago, and had since travelled to Cornwall, Southamp ton, and other places, in search of employment, but in vain. He met the other prisoners at a lodging-house in London, and went out begging with them this morning for the first time. He kneVir nothingimore about them. Campbell said that he was a cotton weaver, and a native of Port Glasgow. Being unsuccessful in his search after employment elsewhere, he came to Lon don, where he arrived on Friday last. Cameron said that he was a native of Edinburgh, and had been employed as a weaver at Kirkintilloch ; he had no work, and had travelled up to London. He had a wife, whom he had left at Barnet. Mr. TWYFORD said he was heartily sorry for their misfortunes, and he must say to their credit that it was not often that Scotchmen were found begging. He thought the best thing he could do for them would be to send them to prison, when they would have an opportunity of being sent home. He should, there fore, commit them each for seven days, and he advised them to apply to the VisitingNagistrates to pass them home. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) John Bishop, a young man about twenty years of age, of respectable connexions, was praced..-nt the.bar, charged with embezzling various sums of money received by him for and on the account of his master and employer, Mr. John Joseph Bellamy, of No. 3, Lumber-court, Newport-market, butcher. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been in his service for several months past, and the greatest reliance being placed in his integrity he was allowed to receive the amount of bills from customers. Yes terday he (the prosecutor) discovered:by a mere acci dent that several bills which had been paid to the pri soner had not been accounted for by him, as was his duty to do of all monies, on the same day he received them. The amount.- of the prisoners defalcation which he, (the prosecutor) had already been able to discover, was between 15/. and 16/., and might be to a more serious extent. The prosecutor produced several bills which the prisoner had fabricated himself for sums that might suit his purpose, from time to time, to prevent detec tion. He was remanded until this day week, in order to give time for the necessary witnesses to attend. MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) George Edwards, a respectably-dressed young man, described as a carpenter out of work, was charged with a street robbery. Henry Elliot, a groom, was standing outside the Union public-house, in Oxford- street, about nine o'clock yesterday evening, when he saw two ladies passing, and the prisoner and another young man im mediately behind them. The prisoner held up one of the ladies' dresses with his left, while his right hand was inserted into her pocket. Ile (witness) called to the ladies that they were . robbed, and caught the prisoner, who, however, struck him a violent blow, and escaped. lie also knocked down an omnibus driver, who tried to stop him, but was ultimately c aug ht a t th e corner o f Orchard-street by a policeman. Inspector Black and another officer stated, that de fendant was to their knowledge one of the swell mob. Mr. RAWLINSON committed him for three months. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DA Y.) Robert Simpson, alias Butcher, was charged as follows :—The prisoner is one of a gang who have undergone a long imprisonment f or k noc kin g d own unprotected females in the streets at night, and rob bing them: Last night he was in company with two disorderly females in Broad-street, Bloomsbury. The trio occupied themselves in hustling against respect able persons as they passed. A constable took the worst of the females into custody, when the pri soner rushed on him and kicked him violently in the back of the head; he seized the staff of the constable and threw it away. The policeman seemed to have sustained very serious injury, both his hands were cut and bruised, and he was hardly able to hold up his head from a wound in his neck.--The prisoner was sentenced to a month's imprisonment and hard labour. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) A pawnbroker in Charlotte-street complained that a common informer of the name of ]3urch called at his house, and intimating his calling, said that he came there to say that applicant might commit offences under the Pawnbrokers' Act without the risk of any informations being laid against him, if he paid him a sovereign a year for the Indulgence. In reply to the proposition, applicant said that he would enter into no such engagement, whereupon the informer intimated that he would look sharply after him, and pull Mill up when he had a chance. Applicant, therefore, wanted to know if he could not punish the person against whom he applied. Mr. TRAILL referred to the sec. 33, of the 2d and 3d of Victoria, and said that unless the informer received a sum of money for co:npounding, delaying, or with drawing any information, he was not liable to any penalty. CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION. (THIS PAY.) Mr. M'Christie, the Revising Barrister, took his seat in Court this morning at ten o'clock. The lists of the Liverymen were proceeded with. In the list of the Glovers' Company an objection was taken to the name of Thomas Jenkins, of Broad way, Rotherhithe, who had been for the last three years in America, on Government service. A judg ment had been delivered by the Revising Barrister, which we gave in our Paper of yesterday, upon a case somewhat similar. To meet that judgment it was stated that the claimant was not at liberty to re turn to this country, inasmuch as he was under en-, gageraents to the Government. ot. J. s till t lax!

St. James's parish was concluded, and here, as in every other parish which has yet been revised, the Liberals have gained a very considerable advantage over the Tories. The Reformers have succeeded in establishing 6 claims and in expunging 17 Tory names from the register ; they have failed in 10 claims and 2 objections. Two Liberal claims yet stand over for judgment. The Tories had only entered 3 claims and 3 objections, and of these they have established but 1 claim and 1 objection, having failed in 2 claims and '2 objections. This statement shows a clear gain to the Liberals in this single parish of 21 votes. The parish of St. Martin was next entered upon. In this parish the Liberals make 9 claims and 137 ob jections, and the Tories have given notice of 3 claims and 63 objections; in all 212 cases to be gone into lit this parish. REGISTRATION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) DEVONPORT, MONDAY. - The Revising Barristers for this district, C. Saunders, Esq., and C. 0. Day man, Esq., opened their Court at the Townhall for the revision of the list of persons entitled to vote for Members for the borough. The objections on the part of the Liberals amount to 342 ; the objections by the Tories 240. Mr. R. B. Oram appeared on behalf of the Libe rals ; the Tory objections were defended by Mr. J. Beer, and Mr. Ramsay. The advice of Sir R. Peel, that the battle of party should be fought in the Re gistration Court, has been fully acted on by both sides here. The Tories are especially active, and will leave no means untried to reduce the majority of the Liberals on the list. The only objection of any importance taken during► the morning by the Tory Advocate was a preliminary one to the form of notice of objection sent in by the Liberals. He contended that it was not such a no tice as required by the 39th section of the Act, as the date was not part of the body of the instrument. He rested his objection on the law as it affects dates of deeds of conveyance. 'The Court doubted if the point could be gone into, but expressed its opinion that the objection was a perfectly valid one. One objection by the Tories was made to the guard of a coach, not that there was the slightest doubt as to the validity of his vote, but on the speculation that his avocation might have compelled him to be absent on the day of hearing, and thus a Liberal vote would have been struck off. 'The ruse, however, did not succeed. The revision of the list is expected to occupy the whole of the week. Equal, if not greater interest is. excited by the state of the burgess list of votes for the Town Council, which comes on next week. The To ries regard the turning the balance in the municipal election as likely to be decisive of the next political struggle. MONE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The heaviness in the English market continues, and the gloom appears to have increased ; no particu lar cause can, however, be assigned.

Spanish Five per Cents. at 16, and the Three per Cents. 201, are the only bonds quoted to-day. Intelligence to-the 29th of July-has been received from Buenos Ayres. A large portion of the papers is occupied with accounts of the celebration of the anniversary of the declaration of independence, which appears to a great extent to have superseded business, in which it is stated there was no new feature, beyond a trifling re-action in the rate of exchanges, which was 3d. on England. A Correspondent alluded on Saturday to the pro spects of the foreign holders of the bonds of this State; these papers give the amount in circulation at 31,840,742 dollari; of which it may be estimated the greater part is held in Europe. The price here is 191, and the last quotation at Buenos Ayres 68; the enormous difference being to be traced to the fact that the home creditor regularly receives his interest, while the foreign one is put off with pleas of inability to-pay. The great mischief is to be found in the system of speculating on the Stock Exchange by parties who, in reality, are not in the slightest degree individually interested, whereby such enormous fluctuations are caused to the injury of the bona.,ficle_ holder. In fact these. operations offer a `reilum for noir:payment, by enabling the various States, by means of agents, to buy up their obliga tions at one-sixth of what they profess to represent. Were the holders to unite, measures might be adopted whereby something like an instalment would be ob tained, and a guarantee for the future. PRICES OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE. A A ILWAYS. Paid.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. GRAND SAILING MATCH FOR ONE THOUSAND POUNDS.—Several matches have taken place this season between Mr. John Congreve's cutter yacht Corsair, of 84 tons, and Mr. Robert Meiklam's cutter yacht Talisman, of 87 tons, in which the former has been victorious ; but s') high an opinion had Mr. M. of his pet yacht, that he ()tiered to sail her again against the Corsair for .500/. or 1,0001. This former offer Mr. ConFreve accepted, the yachts to start at four F.M. on Thursday next, round the Eddystone and back. The 1,0001. is posted, and w© hope that no accident may occur, but that the best boat may win. Some thousands will change hands win which may. The town continues very full for the season.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. • TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. THE' CESAREWITCH.—The speculations on this event were confined to a small number of horses, but were in rather weighty sums. Thus 2,000 to 200 was betted agst Bellissima in one bet, 10 to 1 to 751. agst Portrait, and the same odds to nearly 1501. apt Blue Bonnet (her backer anxious to go on), 100 to 80 was laid on Flu. rence agst Blue Bonnet, and 150 to 10 agst Arcanus. The closing prices were :- 8 to 1 agst Duke of Grafton's Florence —taken 9 to 1 agst Lord Eglinton's Blue Bonnet 10 to 1 agst Mr. M. Jones's Portrait 10 to 1 agst Mr. Sadler's Bellisima—take 12 to 1 10 to 1 agst Lord Albemarle's Ralph —no backer 15 to 1 agst Mr. F. Charles' Arcanus Mr. Forth declared that Vibration and the Courtesan colt will not start either for this race or the Cambridge shire Stakes. THE DI:RBY.—The only bets laid were .- 2500 to 100 agst Mr. Bowes's Cotherstone 1500 to 50 agst Mr. Mostyn's Queen of Trumps c—t twice 1500 to 50 agst Col. Anson's Progress c—twice NEWMARKET.—FIRST OCTOBER MEETING Commences this day, and, judgi ng f rom the list, will realize an average quantity of sport. The two year old stakes, however, will produce small fields of moderate horses, and wilfnotliave any influence on the Derby betting. For the Buckenham, the struggle will be between Lord Exeter and Col. Peel, as Mr. %Vreford's will not start, and Farintosh is doubtful ; Col. Peel is the favourite. The Hopeful, one of those scrambling half mile races, to which we are glad to observe a gr ow i ng distaste, will no t h ave more t h an fi ve or six starters at the outside ; the public runners in it are bad, and the dark ones are not "flyers." The Grand Duke Michael looks like a certainty for Canadian—his opponents will be few and of feeble pretezision,• Misdeal being the most formidable of the lot. The only novelty in this day's sport, will be the appearance of Mr. Osbaldeston on the Devil amongst the Tailors, carrying lOst 71b against ' Robinson, or Lord Alboruaxle's Buffalo, 9st Olb The REVISING BARRISTER reserved the decision of the case until Friday. Some other cases arose upon objections taken on the usual grounds of removal or non-residence ; but they possessed little public interest, and the judgment of the Court respecting them was, in most instances, postponed till a future day. time beginni ng ictober M eet i ng, so ca ll e d, a lth oug h this to-mor row . A more meagre bill of fare could hardly and endi ng i n S eptem b er , commences be presented. Several of the matches will not be run. Farintosh, M urat (the Colonel will not he afraid to meet him thi s time), and one o f Mr. Wreford's three beaten ones,, will go for the Buckenham. Canadian i s reported t o b e i n force. If this report he true, he must win the Grand Duke Michael in a trot. There will be a good field for the Hopeful. Matches ex cepted, there is no other race on the list but the Rut land. Many of the horses engaged in the Hopeful also meet here. But if this meeting reads small, how much the more brilliant does the next appear? A word on th e C esarewitch. I cannot see why the handicap f or t h is race should appear before Don caster. Tru e , th e winner of the St. Leger is doomed to carry 101b s extra, which, in this peculiar instance, is a fort una t e condition, Blue Bonnet, a mare that had never start e d , b eing by some singular and unac countable oversight, handicapped at sst 131 b. She has, therefore, to carry 6st 911). But, suppose Ca brera had chaficed to win the St. Leger, his weight for the Cesarewitch would have been then Bst, a weight as effectual in excluding any three vrs old as lOst 51b. The weight appropriated to Charles the Twelfth effectually deprives any horse that ever was foaled of the most remote chance in the world. The object of a handicap is to give each and every horse an equal chance ; and I maintain that this design is not hest carried out by publishing the weights so many weeks before the race. You may argue that if the tvveights were not declared before the Yorkshire handicap was run, horses would be pulled up in the latter race, to get more favour ably weighted in the Cesarewitch. I differ. The former stake is as (if not more) valuable, and cer tainly much eas i er to w i n than the latter. You may win more money in bets on the Cesarewitch ; but there will be equally heavy betting on the Yorkshire handicap in future, that race being in future to, be run on the day after, instead of on the day before, the St. Leger. While the winner of the St. Leger or Cup (poor Charles ! it is lucky for you you did not win the Cup,. list. 11b. would have been a quietus, methinks) carries 10Ib. extra ; the second in either race escapes penalty. The uninitiated may infer, if they please, that the first horse in a race is generally 1 Olbs. better than the second ; I am fool enough to think otherwise. The acceptances for this race number thirty- one have no ; no I d sa o y ub o t n t l h Y e NaSveiglashtt year there were fif ty. I put on the winner of the St. Leger frightened many otherwise willing ones away. One only is left in out of the ten high weights. Twenty stables have here horses engaged ; there is every prospect, therefore, of the field being large in proportion to the number accepting. Scott leaves in three ; Dawson, four; Forth, three ; Edwards, three; Boyce, two ; Stephenson, two; John Day, one ; Kent, one; Trenn, one; Isaac Day, one ; Jcnes, one; Prince, one ; S m ith, one; Sadl e r, one; Lord Mil town, one; Lord Orford, one ; Captain Price, one; Mr. Graydon, one. Thus all the principal trainers have horses engaged, and, being obliged to come to Newmarket, will probably bring others for the diffe rent plates and handicap races. There are fifty-four acceptances for the Cambridge shire Stakes, one of the best handicaps I ever remember. I observe in the last calendar that there are already one hundred and fifty-six subscribers to the Good wood Stakes. The public may not be aware of the fact, but I can tell them that there would have been nearer two hundred had not Lord George Bentinck transferred many of the willing subscribers to the sixty-t wo subscribers. It grieves me to see so muc h March St a k es ( gent l emen r id ers ), w hi c h race numbers good money wasted ; if I live nine hundred years and stand alone, I will continue to bring forward my annual motion, that the Goodwood Stakes be in future divided into two classes. Sept. 26. JUDEX. CORONEit'S INQUEST.—On Saturday afternoon, an investigation, which lasted several hours, was .gone into lefore Mr. Baker, the Coroner, at the Black Horse, Kingsland-road, touching the death of a fine robust man, name unknown, who was found dead in a cab unde r th e f o ll ow i ng suspicious c i rcumstances : John H aw ki ns , d r i ver of cab No. 1,175, said that on Friday afternoon he took the deceased up at the corner of Warwick-lane, in Newgate-street, who was in company at the time with two women and a man. Deceased was very much in liquor, being quite in sensible, and was told by one of the women to drive him to Go ldsmith's -row, Hackney-road. He then proceeded, an d saw the woman and man walk hastily away. O n arriving at the turnpike in the Hackney-road, th e deceased was seen at the bottom of th e ca b , as if he was dead, by the coll ec t or, who r equ i re d the toll of hi m . He was r emove d immediately to Dr. Botson's sur gery, wh ere it was found he was quite dead. On his pocket being se arc h ed, 12s. in silver was found, and several memoradums of receiving money in various sums—viz., 2,112/. 19s. 169 t, 108/., and also a letter, signed Ell en, posted from m Boston. He has the appearance ot having been some traveller for a meat salesman, being attired in a dark moleskin frock, blue checked silk waistcoat, and dark blue trousers. On his shirt were the marks A. p,, No. 40, and No. 2 ; likewise on hi s stockings were A. P. He is about 5 feet 9 inches high, light hair, and apparently about 40. The Coroner observed it was a very suspicious affair, and he should not be doing his duty if he did nut adjourn the inquiry. In the meantime a Post modem examination should be made of the body, and he hoped the police would use every endeavour in ob taining those persons with whom deceased was last seen alive. The inquiry was then adjourned. MEETING OF THE ANTI -CORN-LAW LEAGUE.—A meeting of the members of this body was held in o'clock, Mr. Win. R awson in the Chair.

A two act drama, entitled Blanche Herbal, or the Chertsey Curfew, was produced here' last evening. The action of the piece is supposed to take place in May, 1471, and the scene is laid at Chertsey. This gives an opportunity for the di s pl a y o f . pi c t uresque costume, of ioeautiful scenery, and, we need scarcely add that the management have availed themselves of it to the fullest extent. The story turns upon the fate of a certam Neville Audeley (Mr. H. Hughes), a young Lancasterian soldier, who, having been taken prisoner by Hugh Lanerest (Mr. N. 'l'. Hicks), a Yorkist trooper, is to die at the tolling of the Curfew, unless before that hour a pardon arrives from the King. The hour approaches, and the mes senger dispatched for the pardon has not yet arrived. Blanche Heriot (Mrs. R. Homier) the') betrothed of Neville, ascends the bell tower, and as the bell is about to toll, seizes it, and is swung back wards aid forwards (in a situation of the greatest peril), but prevents its tolling until the arrival of the messenger with the pardon. This last scene in the Bell -tower was a most effective one, and was loudly applauded. The acting of Mrs. It. Bonner through out was beautifully pathetic, and the success of the piece was in a great measure owing to her exertions. It was announced for repetition every evening amidst tumults of applause. The nautical drama of My Poll and my Partner Joe followed, with T. P. Cooke as the hero. This piece, on its first proluction, had a run of 135 nights, and, judging from the enthusiasm with which it was received last evening, its revival bids fair to have an equally lengthened run. The house v% as crammed to suffocation. On the corner of the brief of Mr. Edwin James, one of the counsel who defended "Suisse ",at the late trial, in allusion to the evidence given by Mr. Wilson Croker, these lines were written : " CROSS-EXAMINATION OF CROKER. "Upon your oath, Sir, did 3'ou dine With there 13ore 1 ,' or take your wine At Fontainbleau, and on the Rhine ?" Was asked of Wilson Croker. " Oh, yes ! But mind—l did not ride in the same carriage, side by side, (live an ex-Secretary's pride). Oh THAT the Devil choke her !'" Aug. 21. C. C. C. LECTURERS IN THE REGENT'B-PARK —On Sun day afternoon, a man commenced A course of lec tures, which are to he con ti nue d every succee di ng Sunday, on the Bible. He began with the Book of Genesis, referring particularly to the creation, and to the Mosaic dispensation, both of which he treated with the utmost contempt. Hundreds of persons, chiefly of the working classes, congregated round this man to hear the awful blasphemy uttered by him. in other parts of the Park were Socialist debaters, who promulgate their views with the greatest pertinacity.

A CARGO or WILD BEASTS. —Early yesterda v morning the powerful steamer Monarch arrived at her moorings off the Custom-house, her decks being almost covered with cages containing an extensive collection of wild animals, a trans-shipment from Ilull. Among them were a remarkably fine young lion from Zanzebar, a pair of striped hyaenas from India, a very beautiful pair o f th e Sasin antelopes from the borders of Persia, the horns of the male nearly two feet long, forming a perfect spiral, a most interesting specimen of the gnu antelope, from the Cape of Good Hope, called by,the Dutch boers of South Africa the Baas or Master, from his great strength ; and one of the most formidable of' the monkey tribe ever brought to this country. The last animal stands nearly four feet high, and appeared to be a distant relative of " Happy Jerry," or ,lipart,4l 0w... T . • He inhabits the mountains of Arabia, and is the Derrias or Wood Baboon, known by the Arabs by th e n ame o f " Re bah," or Child o f the Sun. The whole of the cargo was landed at daylight, and forwarded in vans to their destined resting-place ' after all th e i r wan d er i ngs, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NE M' S. CITY, MONDAY EVENIN G , FROM THE 'MORNING PAPERS OF' Tiffs DAY. POST.—There has been but little passing in the City to-day to keep up the excitement tif the last week, caused by the calamitous fire at Liverpool, and the difficulties experienced in the corn trade. It is at tempted to attach undue importance to the loss sus tained by the cotton consumed at Liverpool. The quantity is variously estimated, but there is no good reason to believe that it reaches beyond three or four weeks' consumption for manufacturing purposes, nor have the prices current in the market for this, species of produce been in an y way disturbed. The sales , have continued steady, but there has b een no a d vance in the quotations. The most that can be said of the staple, with reference to the fire, being merely that it remains firm at its former value. With regard to the failure of Messrs. King and Melvil riothing further has transpired, except that the show of assets made by the firm being abundant there is a probability of some assistance being extended to it by a powerful money house in Lombard -street. SUN.—It was noted a day or two since that the job bers were so full of stock, that any circumstance, however trivial, which was likely to cause sales, would occasion a decline. The fire at Liverpool has created a great heaviness in the Money Market, upon the supposition that sales must be effected to meet the demands upon the insurance offices. But a far snore weighty reason has conduced to this fall, in the general distrust which the calamity , has produced. It has been estimated that the value of the property de stroyed is about half a million sterling, but it may in reality be calculated at much more'; of this, 350,0001. is stated to be covered by insurance, upon the authority of the agents of the various office. Thus far it is most probably correct, and that not more than about a quarter of a million re mains uninsured. This sum, suddenly withdrawn from any commercial community, is of serious im portance, and may lead to unfortunate results. But the great evil is to be found in the fact, that men of business there have been in the practice Of charging "fire insurance" in their invoices, and deducting it from their account sales, when it never was effected ; in point of fact, taking the risk upon themselves ; the premium being a profit, if all were correct, and the client the loser, if the agent be not in possession of sufficient property to meet a loss. This system, which had been carried to an tmmense extent, received a check by a decision of the Judges in a trial arising out of the last great fire, but it is still carried on largely. In the case in question it was alleged that by an unfortunate oversight, the par ticular parcel of cotton then destroyed was omitted to be insured, and therefore the brokers were not liable. The Court, however, ruled that as a long series of transactions had taken place between the parties in which the charge for insurance had been inside and allowed, the plea could not be sustained, and therefore the agents must pay the amount. It is to this apprehension that similar proceedings have again occurred that the distrust at present—visible is to be traced, coupled with the state in which rainy parties on the Corn Market must necessarily be placed by the late failures which have happened there.

The quotation for Mexican Bonds remained at 35 351 the announcement that the blockade of the ports of that country by the Texians would not be respected by us, not having caused any alteration. The idea of it being effectual, or that it ever existed but on paper, has always been repudiated, and for the simple reason that Texas has no ships wherewith to support it.

MADRID, SEPT. 16.—Notwithstanding the con spiracies, active and passive, internal and external, against the peace of Spain, its peace still continues, and is bringing into view much of hoarded wealth, more-of active industry, and still more o f sangu i ne speculation and hope for the future. The capitalists of this city do not exactly know what to d•• with their money since Senor Calatrava has refused to borrow it at usurious and ruinous interest for the use of the State, but they aeem to have made up their minds that the civil war is over, and that property will henceforth be secure, so they are busily engaged in every street rebuilding old houses, and really beauti fying-, if. not enlarging, Aladrid. In the pro vinces every body who has a dollar to spare is vest ing it in mining operations, although the majority of the societies formed with the object of exploring minerals are altogether destitute of the profes sional knowledge or practical experience proper to such undertakings; and th e cen t ra l sc h ools of mining in Madrid and Almad en h ave not a scholar left fit to .sendinto the mountains, so great has been the call already for the pupils who have acquired the slightest practical knowled ge o f mining, chemistry, mmera • logy, and engineering. The monastic orders have been swept away, no further inducement remains to tram up the youth of Spain in crowds, as heretofore in a knowledge of theol og i ca l subtiliti'es and contro versial.. divinity; and the resu lt is, that yesterday the Almister of the I n t er i or took the liberty of further swooping off the stage the two Collegiate Universities of Onate and Vittoria, which had lately little better occupation than quarrelling with each other for pre cedency and funds. This Minister has set on trot some admirable measures for establishing a working police, under the control of engineers, on the roads, both old and new; but, on the other hand, there is a sad want of a protective police everywhere for the prevention of crime. As soon as the evil obtains a, head in any district, there is no want of courage, zeal, and perseverance, to face the danger, and extirpate the perpetrators, or at least drive them to another district; but this is only effected by ac tually making war upon the robbers. Prevention of the evil seems beyond the power or the capacity of those either in local authority or invested with the direction of afThirs in Madrid. It is gratifying to be able to state that the Minister at the head of th• Finance Department is (notwithstanding all his em barrassments) not adding to the burdens of his, coun try, but, on the contrary, has sho wn a ('.eg ret of'firm ness and foresight, the more pleasing beamse unex pected, in resisting offers of temporary . relict' upon terms which would have only compromised him and the nation still more. It is understotml that. he IN prepared to lay befbre the Cortes a fair statemert of the debts, the expenses, the income, and floe capabili ties of the country (the first time, perh aps, that su c h a thing has ever been attempted in Spain), and to de mand their assistance, or rather their permission, to pursue undisturbed his measures for the restoration of the credit of the nation. vere( severa .ieorge. )f the p with hi s Excelency DOVER, SEPT. 26.—Arrived from Calais, the ont F rance. t l. h .'r e en c c ,o l i i in s t te d i t m s ) Ills Excellency - i i ii a n c t k . ,e t t ul a C i r o e u , r i i k er n; ba ssad or fr h as landed under the usual honours, and will proceed to London immediately.

LISBON, SEPT. 19.—The adjournment of the Cortes and recomposition of the Ministry, which had been 3 , long talked of, have at length been brought (thou' somewhat precipitately. T he knowledge that Senhor Campelo would not resume the duties olthe marine department, and that the Al iniskr ofJustice, wh o h a d more than once tendered his resignation, 'wotild retire as soon as the Cortes were prorogued or adjourned, seems to have excited the hopes of the various candi dates for office to such a pitch, that it was resolved, at last, - to take our Portuguese Downing-street by storm ; and meetings were held, attended by certainly a majority of the majority, who were further'dissatis tied at the Duke of Terceira's continuing to bold the seals of the Foreign office together with the War De partment. At length the Ministerial camp became in a complete state of mutiny, and a sort of round-robin address was communicated to the Duke, as President of the Council of Ministers, stating in effect, that the majority of the Chamber had not confidence in the Government as actually constituted. The Duke of Terceira taking offence at this out-of-door vote of want of confidence (for be it observed no manifes tation of opinion had been made ley the Majority within the walls of the Chamber), went at once to the palace, and tendered his resignation. This was on Monday. An entire break up of the Mi nistry was anticipated. The Council of State was summoned. Senor R. F. Magalhaes, as one of the Council, gave it as his opinion that there. was no reason whatever to justify the resignation of the Ministry, no hostile demonstration having been made against them in Parliament, and that they ought not to be guided by meetings out of doors. lie was asked, both by time Duke of Terceira and Costa Cabral to take office, but this he declined. The matter finally terminated thus. The resignation of the Ministers of Justice and Marine were accepted; the Duke .of Terceira remained President and Minister of War, giving up the Foreign Depart ment to Senor Gomes de Castro, a friend of IL F. Magalhaes, and Vice-President of the Treasury tribunal. Costa Cabral and Baron Tojal re tain their posts • and the departments of Marine and .Justice have been filled up by Senhor Palm, a Deputy and Treasurer of the Navy, and Senhor J. M. Sousa e Azevedo, a Councillor of the Treasury, and considered as a protege of the Duke of Pahnella. The Government gains greatly in oratorical strength by the changes now made. Senhors Cornea de Castro and Sousa e Azevedo are both very good speakers, hut, as yet, they are neither of them in the Clamber, which,perhaps,may have been one reason why the sudden. adjournment of the Chamber was resolved on, as they will no doubt be choien when the elections, to supply the double returns, take place. However, the fact is, that the Chambers, which had been obliged to past pone the important. measures before them during the' Ministerial crisis---no Minister being present in the Chamber of Deputies On Monday, Tuesday, or Wed nesday, were, on their meeting on Thursday ad journed by Royal decree, - communicated in a dis patch from Costa Cabral, to the Ist of December next, when the session will be resumed, in order to pass the Government measures, now in various stages before the Chambers, as the Douro Wine Company Bill, the Bill establishing courts-martial in cases of murder committed on time persons of public authorities, and the Bill for the sale of the faros, the latter of which h a d passe d t h e D eputies, and been carried into the Chamber of Peers. The • Dour.) 'Vine Company Bill had passed the Deputies, with the exception of the lath article, by which the en dowment of 150 contos a year, out of the export duties, &c., is granted to the Company : this article was postponed, on Senhor Avila' s mo ti on , till th e Minister of Finance should be present. There was a resolutipn passed by the late Cortes,_ that no additional expense should be moved by the Government, with out the Minister presenting simultaneously the means of meeting it, and it was urged by Senhor Castello Branco that this was applicable to the present case, which was denied by some of the Ministerial Mem bers. However, the question now stands over till December. The Court Martial Bill had not been debated at all ; the Committee to wit ch it was re ferred, had, however, reported in its favour. The " majority" it is said, i s no t over sat i s fi e d w i t h the result of its extra-parliamentary proceedings. It was expected that the three posts of Justice, Marine, and Foreign Affairs, would have been filled up from its ranks. Senors Albano, Simos, GoKiao, and many other candidates were put forward ; the misfortune here is, that everybody thinks he has a right to be Minister, and after a set of Ministers have been in office for six months, there is a great tendency among the unemployed to grumble, and combine against them. The Correio di Lisbao, in reference to this state of things, on a former occasion, ironically recom mended that ever y o ffi ce , hi g h and low, should be held in turn for twenty-four hours by every adult male throughout the country, thus far outbidding your universal suffrage and quarterly Parliament people. The Lynx, her Majesty's four-gun brig, returned to the Taguafrom-Cascaes Bay, on Thursday. Th e affair of th e G enera l Marinho has been transt'erred to the hands of the new Minister of Marine, and it is to be hoped will be soon decided. is pretty well known, that, as resplts the frauds low the subject of investigation, many of the landing rafters have been implicated in them. The duties of he landing waiters are but little known to parties un connected with trade, commerce, and wker-side busi ness. It is, therefore, proposed to illustlate the facts and circumstances hereafter to be laid before the pub lic, by giving a description of their duties; their emo luments, &c. The principal business of these func tionaries is personally to attend the landing of goods at the docks or legal quays. For this purpose he is furnished with a landing-book, denominated under its respective class, " red" or " blue," the issue of which is from the Registrar's office, and which contains copies of entries previously passed by importers for -- lerchandise about to - be warehoused, or At once deli - These entries are of three classes :-Ist.

The sight entry, the object of which is to assist the merchant in cases where goods arrive con signed to him without previous advice, when he is per mitted to have the packages landed, upon declaring that their contents Are unknown. It be here necessary, with the view to carry the eile out in all its bearings, just to observe on the opportquity these two latter descriptions of entry afford ~to these offi cers, if they are not persons of strict and• unim peachable integrity, to deceive and falsify the returns, which, as employes of the Customs, they are ap , pointed to make, of the weight of and duty .on mer chandise landed at their respective stati, the inter ference of the landing surveyor (their stweNer) being only required in the se ttlement of tare, .or iiKthe ap proval or otherwise of the value put upon goods a,b the ad ralorem rate. laving succinctly stated the duty of a landing waiter, it is necessary to add that the bey is divided into six classes, with proportionate salaries. The first class numbers 20 persons, with 400/. per annum each ; the second class 20 persons, With 350/.. per annum each; the third class 20 persons, with :000/. per- an num each; the fourth class 30 persons, With 2501. per annum each; the fifth clam 30 persons,. with 2001. per annum each ; and the sixth class 30 persons, with 160/. per annum each. As in the course of the in into these frauds it has appeared that more than one of the landing waiters implicated have also fill e d th e office of searcher, the duty appertaining to that department must also be illustrated.' The searcher, to use the technicality, " makes shipped" the packages destined for shipment at his station. It 114 A part of his duty personally to examine stnth.packages,.• noting their correspondence with the original 'descrip tion in the official papers, and should any ,suspicion arise of any exchange or fraud connected with the shipment, they have the power of seizure, and of bringing the matter before the Board for;inquiry and investigation. The separate duties of these officers _being, as is trusted, clearly defined, the mode in which the irre gular and falsified entries have been concoe . led, in .olving such loss to the Ix:venue, wil doubt be H:erstood in the cases of fraud hereafter to' rot ght the notice of the public.

Wheii it is remembered how well the country re munerates the chief officers of those departments of the State to whom it delegated the collection of duties, mid more especially those appertaininOnthe receipt of ~iinports - upon - foreign and colonial produce and manufactures, the public are entitled tO7have as their servants the most intelligent and kiost attentive, without prejudice to any one, the mostjitmest indivi duals. It will be for the public to express an opinion, if when we shall have brought before its - notice the many laxities—the frauds—the instances:of favouriaism —the attempt to screen really guilty parties,• and the immolation of their dupes, the functions of the Com missioners of her Majesty's Customs at the head de partment, have, or have not, been fully and satiii tlietorily administered. The enormous frauds now in daily progress of investigation are not, in 'the aggregate, confined to ten s of thousands, but to hundreds of thousands of pounds. Indeed, it is said in some quarters that the revenue . has suffered to the extent of nearly a million sterling..: From the series of notices it may be ,iieceiftary to devote to this important subject, names of parties high in commercial circles must, if cleaned tequisite, be give n . Th e names of firms which 'are known to have c onn i ve d at these frauds with the landing waiters are in ou r possession, examination in with all the 1003 and line of support of participation, , as..giVen in ( evidence before the Court of Inquiry nowsitting upon this subject. But independently of the non-per formance of their duties by the officials of the Custom house, in protecting, by due diligence and ample control, the revenu es o f the arising ou t o f the kingdom,long-on .there is an rand whi c h i nvolves the interest t o i t n h u e e r d co pra ns e id ti e e r e at u ir f , and prosperity of the really honest merchant and trader. It must be clearly apparent that if five traders are carrying on business in the sonie line, four of them paying their duties honestly a n d, o p enly ou foreign goods imported, while the fifth, by a ,con nivance with any officer of Customs, gets Ins placed in his warehouse without the outlay of the duty, or by payin g i n fi n it e ly less through the medi um of false entries (hereafter to be fully illustrated), that the former cannot c o mp e t e w ith the latter; and thou gh they struggle e v er so h ar d t o ma i n t a in their p os iti on, though they may make sacrifices to _effect sales in order to keep their customers together for a timO, still, in the lung run, wholesale losses must. be en tailed upon them by tile ruinous and fruitless com petition ituitteed. Public morality, then, •indepeirp. dently ()Pother interests connected with- the due col lection of the resources of the kingdom, demands that the unfair system new under rsview should be probed to the core and exposed. There are, it is rumoured, reasons why the result of the investigation now going on, and the evidence taken, should be hashed up, that the parties delinquent may not be publicly named. That an Exchequer process might be issued—that thousands of pounds should be paid by the parties im plicated—and that they be left to re-commence their operations hereafter with renewed vigour -the fine imposed being uniformly less than the profits illegally made, and again render of no avail the exertions of the honest num to follow his trade. Ifsuch be the course intended, it is the duty of the Press to state all the facts that have already transpired, through private sources, relative to the recently discovered, and previously successfully executed frau& upon the revenue.
