e re f the tools co Of spiritual under the cognisance of civil tribunals, and request that these abuses may cease, and that several privileges, which they enumerate, that formerly belonged to the Church, may be restored to her. In conclusion, they allude to the numberless cases which have recently . occurred, of sudden disappearances of priests, who are supposed to have been sent into Siberia ; and request that in future no priest be arrested without the knowledge of his spiritual superiors. No one will dispute the reasonableness of these demands ; and it is only another proof of the blind persistence with which the Government adheres to its system, that they have not been, if not complied with, at least listened to. The arrival of General Paulneir at Kalisz, to in quire into the events of the 7th, has in no way altered the lamentable condition of that town. Murders and robberies by the soldiery are of con stant occurrence, and no one is safe from their law less attacks. A Jew riot has lately been got up here by the police similar to that at Warsaw. Police agents openly excited the mob to violence ; but the affair had no more serious result than the forcible closing of a few shops. SPAIN. " Whilst everything tends in Europe to draw closer Governments and States, the Spanish Govern ment," remarks the Nord, "persists in maintaining itself in haughty isolation, and in continuing on its own account its preparations against Mexico. The Ministry, says our Madrid correspondent, wishes to produce an impression on public opinion, and to occupy it for a time so as to be able without risk to evacuate Tetuan. The squadron destined to convey the troops of embarkation is to consist of 14 vessels, six of them screw frigates, and is to sail towards the end of the month." RUSSIAN POLAND. A letter from Warsaw, dated Sept. 30, says : Things are going badly here, and will go badly. The new Council of State meets in ordinary session for the first time to-morrow ; but it is a sham. The elections for the arrondissemental and muni cipal councils are going on, and everywhere the choice is unanimous. The more active members of the late Agricultural Society, leading Jews, patriotic priests, with a few peasants, are those chosen as members. But the great want on the part of the Poles, as it appears to me, is a " settled pro gramme," printed and published. For want of this there is no unity of action here—no sympathy abroad. The Italians have " Italia unity" as their watchword; they are understood and supported. The Hungarians have a return to the Pragmatic Sanction as the base of their operations, and they are understood and felt to be in the right. But people naturally ask, what do the Poles want ? It is pretty in theory to say, "We wish for the Poland of the past ;" but the Poland of the past was dif ferent in extent and composition under every one of its Sovereigns. This demand, therefore, is not a tangible one. Their strongest ground would be the Treaty of Vienna ; but this even the moderate party repudiate and ignore. Yet they substitute no legal demand, nothing based on treaties or guaranteed constitutions for it, The result is action on the part of the ultra party, in the shape of demonstra tions against individual Germans, and a mild form of terrorism, whereby shops are closed through fear on certain days which are proclaimed as commemo rations, and collections enforced for an endless mul tiplication of services in the churches. Count Lambert, the new Viceroy, makes no progress; the Government have no more hold on the country than they had four or five months ago. This aggravates them, and it is said that martial law, or something very like it, is to be proclaimed in a few days, at the furthest. The fact of the matter is, the Russians have not the faintest idea of popular representation. Anything like an expression of popular wish is a thing to be re sented and punished by the Government. It is regarded as an insult to the Emperor. A thing occurred the other day at Ostrolenka which speaks volumes. The day was appointed for the election. The burgomaster was ready with all the parapher nalia of election. The electors came in crowds. Suddenly, the commandant of the troops made his appearance at the head of his forces, seized the poll ing books and voting urns, sent them under seal to Warsaw, thinking he had discovered a conspiracy, and finally dispersed the electors to their homes, whence they came by the Emperor's command to vote ! The Polish agitation has reached its chronic state. At first it was acute, spasmodic ; now it has settled down into a low kind of feverishness, far worse for the social body than its former stage. It has only been by great efforts that the moderate party have induced the more advanced to consent to any elections at all. They wished to repudiate the whole thing—Council of State, departmental, arrondissemental, and municipal councils, not to - vote, not to allow themselves to be voted for. In fact, the nation wants a leader and counsellor. Rumours reach us of things being in a terrible state in Russia, and even the Russians themselves admit it. A superior officer not long since said," I really do not know whether I shall get anything at all from my estates this year." How deep the evil may extend I am not qualified to say. EXTRAORDIN.d.RT CASE. On Tuesday a case which, from the respectability of the parties concerned, has caused much interest in the neighbourhood of Windsor and Eton, was beard at Slough by the following Buckizthrram shire magist ra t es — Col. Vyse, Capt. - W. F. M r. W. Penni ng t on , and Mr. Wanklyn. It app eared el from the length ene d ev i dence, which occupied the greater part of the day, that Miss Geraldine Stokes, of High-street, Eton, an interesting -looking young woman, daughter of a schoolmistress of the same place, was delivered of a Foy on the 9th of May last, and she positively swore that a solicitor named Turner, of Water-lane, City, was the father ; that on the 14th of August, 1880, she travelled from Windsor by the South Western line to Waterloo station, and that a gentleman who shook hands with Mr. Madigan, the station-master, as he enter e d th e carriage with h er , was the defendant; that they soon got into conversation; and that when they arrived at Vauxhall the other passenger got out and they were left alone. She told him that she was going to Hackney, and as he offered to take her over the Waterloo-bridg e in a close cab, where the omnibus started, she agreed to accom pany him. No act of familiarity had taken place, excepting that he kissed her once, and squeezed her hand. Just before they reached the bridge he asked her if she liked scent, and placed his pocket hand kerchief to her nose. She became insensible, and on recovering about two hours afterwards she found herself in a cab on the Strand side of the bridge with the same gentleman, who took her to a pastry cook's shop close by and gave her some brandy and - avatar, as she felt ill at the time. The gentleman soon afterwards left her to post a letter, and said he would return and call an omnib us , b u t s h e saw no more of him. She then proceeded to Shoreditch ch urch, and thence to her friends, Mr. and Mrs. r, at Hack it Was not w ry, who formerly lived at Windsor. n the 17th July last that she could ascertain th e She then went toalillie-ay_aenldlinrgesidence of Mr. Turner. chambers, and told him that the result of her 4 8 birth of an infant. with him had been the not the person. sh M e r ! Turner at once said he was more of it. then told him he would hear Emma Woolls, another witness, remem b ered t ra velling to town a the ti Miss Stokes and the def en de n ra t e mentioned with At this stage of the proceedingsistthe court were me inclined to consider it a ca se of x mistaken identity, but on her cross-examination defenda n t' s by counsel the complainant admitted thatshehadket com an with a gentleman at Camberw e ll Whpen sh e living with her mother , four years previously, w asand that he had seduced her, but that she had never mentioned the circumstance to her mother until shortly before the birth of this second c hi ld. Mr. Madigan, the station-master, produced his diary, which showed tha t the lnd d v e i ien s d o a r n o t n h b a u d sio b eesesn, in the habit of visiting him at and that his name was not on the diary after July, 1860. Mrs. Stokes, the mother of the compl a inant, spoke to the day her daughter went to town to visit her d h friends, but she admitted that herdaugh ter had am: , and that th e been confined about four years , child was still living, although the complainant had distinctly sworn th a t h er mother knew nothing of the matt er un til h er con fi neme nt in May las t. This announcement caused great sensation. The magi s t ra t es i mme di a t e ly s topped the pro ceedings, and sa id t h at t h e d e f en d an t left the court with their unanimous belief in his innocence. Mr. Voules appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Charles Preston for the defendant. E.S.E. EXPLANATION.—B.

There is still a moderate demand for discount accommodation, and the quotations continue in a steady position. About £lB,OOO in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday, making a total of £330,000 since the date of the last return. It has been announced that Air. M. Adutt, who suspended in February last, having liquidated his engagements in full, has resumed business under the firm of AI. Adutt and Son. The half-year's interest on Russian 3 per Cent. Bonds will be paid on and after the Ist prox. The certifieates of 12s. per cent., to complete the payment of the sixth dividend, due in 1854, on the Mexican debt, are now advertised for payment. It is understood that the Bank of France has at length concluded an arrangement for a supply of £2,000,000 in gold, by means of bills, which are to be drawn on London, through the houses of Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Sons and Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. This amount of specie, it is thought, will relieve the establishment from the pressure under which it is now labouring, partly in consequence of the withdrawals of bullion which have :already taken place, and 'partly through the uneasiness such a movement has naturally created. It is presumed, however, that the plan now adopted will not only enable the Council to meet the demands upon them, but also restore con fidence in monetary and commercial circles. Considerable excitement prevailed in the Liver pool Cotton Market yesterday, and 30,000 bales were disposed of, in some instances at an advance of id. per lb. Business in the market for American Securities has continued dull during the past week. The subjoined remarks are from the circular of Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite :—" The market for American Securities in London continues very inactive. The tendency of prices at the close is rather towards improvement." As anticipated the directors of the Bank of Eng land, at their meeting to-day, have not made any alteration in their terms of discount. The market for Public Securities has exhibited increased heaviness to-day, owing to the measures adopted by the Bank of France, which will have the effect of withdrawing gold from this country.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.) TItE DISTRICT SAVINGS BA.NT: (LIMITED)-WINDING -UP ORDER. To-day was appointed by adjournment for considering a petition for winding.up the affairs of this company. The question was before the court on the 10th August last, when an adjournment was taken with the view of an arrangement being made for the business to be transferred to another company. Mr. Roxburgh, for the petitioning creditor, said that the arrangement had not been perfected, and it was considered that the better course would be to consent to the order for the winding-up being made, and that the arrangement should be concluded by the official liquidator. Mr. Bagley, Mr. Doria, Mr. Plows, :Mr. Linklater, Mr. A. Warrand, and other gentlemen, appeared for creditors. Mr. Cracknell said he was instructed to appear, ani did not oppose Mr. Roxburgh's application. The usual order for winding up was then made. There was a long list of cases for audits and dividends, to clear up arrears of business before the new act comes into operation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—(This Day.) BOW-STREET. THE LATE MURDER ON BOARD AN AMERICAN SHIP. —John Henry Myers, a seaman and lately second mate on board the American ship Lammergier, in which the cap tain, William Henry Adams, was lately murdered, was placed at the bar charged with being found it possession of a quantity of property belonging to the murdered man. It will be recollected that the prisoner was one of the witnesses who gave his evidence at this Police-court, when Hawkins, the steward, was charged with the murder on Tuesday last. Inspector Cox, of the Thames Police, said—ln conse quence of a quantity of property, belonging to the unfortu nate man, being missed when the vessel arrived in port, I was instructed to proceed to the Victoria Docks at Plaistow for tho purpose of searching the crew for the missing pro perty, which consisted of £6O in money, two watches, a pair of revolvers, and a quantity of wearing apparel. The lockers of the chief officers were searched and nothing found, but while the prisoner's box was being opened I thought it just possible he might have some of the missing money in his pockets, and then discovered he had no less than seven shirts on. I asked him what made his shirt sit so bulky, when he replied, "I suppose it's the starch, but I've got another one underneath." I told him to step into ono o cabins and take the shirts off. He did so, and then I found the shirts marked " "VI . H. Adams." In the prisoner's bag I found eleven yards of blue flannel, which was also identified as belonging to the murdered man. I asked him to account for the possession of the property, when he said he had bought the flannel in America, and that he had the shirts from his washerwoman a day before the ship sailed from London on the 21st of September. Mr. Darker, who appeared to prosecute, said—T have also a witness to provo that the prisoner was seen in pos session of a pair of revolvers after the ship arrived in the Victoria Docks. Mr. Henry—We had better have that witness examined. David Grey, the boatswain of the Lammergier, said' the prisoner was second mate on board the vessel. On Friday last, while I was' out with him, I saw him take two revolvers from underneath his waistcoat. I had walked from the Victoria Docks to the public-house, where I loft him. I do not know that they belonged to the captain. Denis Tetson—l was chief officer on board the Lammer gier. She was bound for Callao and Peru. Mr. Henry Adams was the master. The shirts produced I identify as his property. He was found murdered on board that ship on the 20th of Sept. I knew he brought some flannel from America. I never saw him with a revolver pistol, but I know he had two. Two watches belonging to the captain were also missing. One gold, the other silver. I saw the silver watch hanging up in the cabin on Friday last. We were then between Dover an the Foreland, about three miles from land. Mr. Henry—Have the police received the particulars of the missing watches ? Inspector Cox—No ; not yet, sir, Mr. Henry—Then it had better be done immediately, as it is very important they should be found. Mr. William Cunningham, a tailor, said I knew the late Captain Adams. I made a suit of clothes for him about ten days before the ship sailed from London, on the 21st of September. The blue flannel produced is peculiar. I can swear it is a portion of the roll which I had from Mr. Adams. There is in the bundle a small fragment which I can positively identify, as having been cut off by my own hand. Mr. Henry (to prisoner)—You hear what is said against you. Prisoner—l've nothing to say about tho possession of the flannel. Mr. Henry—Have you anything to say about the shirts ? Prisoner—Nothing, sir. Mr. henry—Or about the revolvers ? Prisoner—The pistols were my own; and I can prove it, as a person named "Watts has had one of them in his pos session six weeks ago. Mr. Henry—They have not been found, so they cannot be identified. The boatswain proves that you had a pair of revolvers, and such articles are amongst the missing pro peity. Mr. Darker—l must apply for a remand. Mr. Henry—Certainly. I will order the prisoner to be brought up again on Friday week. Mr. Darker—l should like the prisoner bound over to go to America to give evidence against the steward Hawkins, who stands charged with the murder of the captain. Mr. Henry—l have no power to make such an order. Mr. Darker—l expect great difficulty in getting the pri soner to America. The probability is that a portion of the articles belonging to the captain were stolen within the English jurisdiction. Mr. Henry—l can only detain him on that charge, The prisoner was then remanded, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BOOK-SHOP ROBBERY.—Thomas Shaw, described as a waiter, of 1, Whitefield-street, Kentish-town, was charged before M. Tyrwhitt, with stealing two books from the shop of Mr. Rimell, bookseller, 400, Oxford-street. In consequence of a number of books being lately missed from the window of the shop of Mr. Rimell lately, a shop boy, named Culling Goodchild, was watching the window from the inside of the shop on the previous evening, when he observed the prisoner take up two books and place them under his coat. He immediately called out to Mr. Kimell, and ran out and seized the prisoner, who asked what he had done, and then dropped the books. Ile was then given into custody. Prisoner said ho was in distress and had had no food for two days till some was given him at the station. liettsworth, 181 C, said he could find no such address as the prisoner gave, and Mr. Tyrwhitt, with the view of having inquiries made as to the prisoner's character, re manded him for a few days. George King, was carged stealing tho breast pin of Mr, Wm. Henry Webb, engineer, of 6, Lorrimore-terrace, Kennington, The prosecutor was in the Haymarket at two o'clock this morning, when the prisoner was seen by Mitchell, 298 A, to take his pin from his breast, at the same time pre tending to help the prosecutor, who was drunk. Prisoner was remanded. ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—We are glad to hear that Mr. and Mrs. German Reed, assisted by Mr. John Parry, will commence another season of their popular entertainments on Wednesday next, the 16th inst. Our Card Basket and The Two Rival Composers are re tained in the programme; but several novelties, both musi cal and illustrative of personal character, will be produced. METROPOLITAN MAIN DRAlNAGE.—Yesterday the members of the several metropolitan vestries and dis trict boards, to the number of about 1,000, accepted the in vitation of the Board of Works to make an inspection of the extensive works for the drainage of the metropolis, which are now in course of erection under their care. At a quar ter before eleven o'clock large numbers of these gentlemen reached the works at Old Ford, near Bow, where the two northernmost of the main drains of Mr. Bazalgette's system meet, and here they were soon joined by Mr. Thwaites, the Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works; Mr. Bazalgette, the chief engineer; Mr. Cooper, tho resident engineer for the northern outfall works, and other gentlemen connected with the undertaking, under whose guidance they proceeded at once to accomplish the object of their visit. The inspection, though thus con ducted under the most favourable circumstances, was necessarily restricted to a portion only of the groat work in progress, but it was more than sufficient to enable those who attended it to appreciate its extraordinary magnitude ; involving as it does the drainage of 101 square miles of sur face, the construction of upwards of 50 miles of intercept ing sewers, nearly all of which will be tunnelled, and of more than 12 miles of stupendous outfall sewers, besides a great number of colossal engineering works, including re servoirs, bridges, aqueducts, penstock chambers, and over flow channels. Thanks to the activity and intelligence with which these works have been pushed on, yesterday's in spection was, without ono dissenting voice, pronounced to be eminently satisfactory. WALWORTII INSTITUTION. M. Louis Blanc, formerly a member of the Provisional Government of France, and whose name is intimately connected with tho national workshops, which were a conspicuous failure, gay. a lecture at this institution on Tuesday night on the mys terious personages and agencies in France towards the end of the 18th century. In the course of his lecture he re ferred to the " Convulsionnaires." the revival of the Rosi crucians, the gold-makers of the Faubourg St. Marceau, Count St. Germain and his magic mirror, Swedenborg's supernatural travels, Gassner's conversations with the evil spirit, and other remarkable delusions. Cagliostro and his history and adventures, and the society of the " Illuminati," were also eloquently referred to. The lecture, which was given with characteristic animation, eras listened to atten tively by a large auditory. REPLY OP EARL RUSSELL TO THE ME 1110RIAL ON MEXICAN AFFAIRS. Subjoined is the answer of Earl Russell to the memorial on Mexican affairs lately presented on behalf of the commercial community : " Foreign-office, Oct. 3. " Gentlemen,—l have received and considered with the greatest attention the memorial you have addressed to me. You have described truly the evils which afflict Mexico— the robbery and the bloodshed, the impunity of crime, and the absence of any controlling authority in what is called the government. Her Majesty's Government have a right by treaty, and by all the laws which govern international relations, to require security for the persons and property of British subjects, and the performance of specific engage ments on the part of Mexico. Her Majesty's Government will exercise this right. But her Majesty's Government cannot think it wise to interfere in the internal govern ment of Mexico. .You seem to think that a protecting force thrown into Mexico for the simple purpose of main taining public tranquillity would succeed in attaining that object, and that even a small force might suffice for the purpose. I am sorry to say that I think a very large force would be insufficient to restore public tranquillity. This is a task which the Mexicans must accomplish for themselves. There are very few oases in which foreign interference can be beneficial, and in those few cases there must be a large and numerous party in the country pre pared to avail itself of foreign aid. lam concerned to say I see no proof of the existence of such a party in Mexico. Her Majesty's government, therefore, must confine their action to the clear and legitimate purpose of demanding , from the de facto government of Mexico, however consti tuted, respect for the persons and property of British sub jects, and the fulfilment of recorded obligations.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, " RUSSELL. To Messrs. Rothschild and Sons, Messrs. Finlay, Hodgson and Co., and others." 2HE GREA7 EASTERN STEAM-SHIP. Insertion is requested for the subjoined letter relating to the Great Ship Company : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The directors of tho Great Ship Company have called a meeting to be held at the offices of the company, in Cannon-street, on Friday, the 11th inst., at one o'clock, but being anxious to avoid the smaller shareholders, only those who hold 1,000 shares and upwards are invited to be present—that is, 70 out of 3,500 proprietors. I therefore beg that every proprietor who can do so will attend at that time, and we can afterwards adjourn to a larger room, or the London Tavern, and discuss the propriety of hole-and corner meetings, the prospects of the great ship on the grid iron at Milled for the benefit of the Great Western Rail- , way Company, and whether the ship was sent properly to sea, or any reformation is desirable,--I am, &c., 10A, King's Arms .yard, Oct. 9.

Prime Down and half-bred sheep were scarce, and in good request, at full prices ; but other breeds were a dull inquiry, at late rates.

SUFFERINGS OF A SHIP'S COMPANY.—SHIELDS, Tuesday.—The brig Ophelia, of Whitby, timber-laden, from Quebec, abandoned in the North Sea, waterlogged, is still drifting about, dismasted, about 100 miles from the south coast of Northumberland. Sailing vessels are con stantly falling in with her. Two steamboats have left here in search of her, and if they should succeed in falling in with her and bringing her into port—which they may easily do, as the weather is mild—they will make a handsome thing, Another timber-laden vessel from Quebec to the Tyne is a derelict in the Atlantic ; she is the Hampton, of Shields. She has been met with by many vessels on their passage home. For some time it was feared that her crew had taken to the boats and were lost, as nothing had been heard of them; but that fortunately does not turn out to be the case, for to-day the glad tidings have been brought to Shields that they have arrived all well at Quebec, having been rescued by the ship Alice Wilson, from Liverpool to Que bec. The Hampton had been caught in a dreadful storm and sprung a leak, and after the crew had been working 16 hours at the pumps the vessel was struck by a heavy sea and capsized, on the 29th August. The crew, 14 in number, succeeded in getting upon the broadside, where they re mained half an hour, when the deck load and everything moveable was washed away. The maintop was then cut away, and the ship righted a good deal, and the crew were enabled to take to the main rigging and top, where they re mained without provisions or water for two days, until they were rescued by tho crew of the Alice Wilson, who had to pull seven miles before they could do so. The crew of the Hampton speak with great gratitude of the kindness of Mr. Bolt, the master of the Alice Wilson, and his ship's company. THE BREAD RIOTS IN FRANCE.—Some of the Paris journals remark on the exaggerated character of the statements made in the London press on the effect produced in the faubourgs of Paris by the high price of bread. The fact is (says Galignani), that a concourse of people did as semble round some of the bakers' shops in the Faubourg St. Antoine, just at the moment of the late advance in the cost of bread, at the beginning of the month, but without, manifesting the slightest appearance of any inclination to disturbance. There was not even a sergeant &vat) 03 D e . seen, ih the neighbourhood. THE PRESIDENT OF THE CONFEDE- RATE STATES. tlelhle,eegtei;, second . Jefferson Davis was born on the 33 of June, 1808, in that part of Christian County, Kentucky, whic . h now forms Todd County.

He remained in the army seven years, and served as an infant r y an d staff officer on the north-west frontier in the Bl ac k H awk war of 1831- 32, with such distinction that on the 4th of March 1833, he was promoted to a fitkst lieutenancy of dra goons, in which capacity he was employ e d i n 1834 in various exped itions against the C omanc h es Pawnees, and other hostile Indian tribes. He re signed his commission, June 30, 1835, returned to Mississippi, and became a cotton planter, li v i ng in retirement till 1843, when he began to take an act i ve part in politics on the Democratic side, and in 1844 was chosen one of the Presidential electors of Missis sippi to vote for Polk and Dallas. In Novembe r , 1845, ho was elected a representative in Congress, and took his seat in December of that year. He bore a conspicuous part in the discussions of the session on the tariff, on the Oregon question, on military affairs, and particularly on the preparations for war against Mexico, and on the organisation of volunteer militia when called into the service of the United States. While in Congress, in July, 1846, the Ist Regiment of Mississippi Volunteers, then enrolled for service in Mexico, elected him their colonel. He promptly left his seat in the house, and, overtaking his regiment in New Orleans on its way to the seat of war, led it to reinforce the army of General Taylor on the Rio Grande. He was actively engaged in the attack and storm ing of Montery, in September, 1846 ; was one of the commissioners for arranging the terms of the capitu lation of that city; and highly distinguished him self in the battle of Buena Vista, February 23, 1847, where his regiment, attacked by an immensely superior force, maintained their ground for a long time unsupported, while Colonel Davis himself, though severely wounded, remained in the saddle until the close of the action, and was complimented for his coolness and gallantry by the commander in-chief in his despatch of March 6, 1847. At the expiration of the term of its enlistment, in July, 1847, the Mississippi Regiment was ordered home ; and Colonel Davis, while on his return, received at New Orleans a commission from President Polk as brigadier-general of volunteers, which he declined accepting, on the ground that the constititution reserves to the States respectively the appointment of the offieers of militia, and that the appointment by the Federal Executive is a violation of the rights of the States. In August, 1847, he was appointed by the Governor of Mississippi United States sena tor, to fill a vacancy ; and at the ensuing Session of the State Legislature, January 11, 1848, was unanimously elected to the same office for the residue of the term, which expired March 4, 1851. In 1850 he was re-elected for the ensuing full term. In the Senate he was chosen chairman of the Com mittee on Military Affairs, and took a prominent part in the debates on the slavery question in defence of the institutions and policy of the slave State, and was a zealous advocate of the' doctrine of State rights. It September, 1851, he was nominated candidate for Governor of Mississippi by the Demo cratic party, in opposition to Henry Foote, the can didate of the Union party. He resigned his seat in the Senate on accepting the nomination, and was beaten in the election by a majority of 999 votes—a marked indication of his personal popularity in his own State ; for at the " Convention election," two months before, the Union party had a majority of 7,500. After his defeat Colonel Davis remained in retirement until the Presidential contest of 1852, when he took the stump in behalf of General Pierce in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Louisiana, where ho rendered essential service to the Democratic party. In 1853 he was appointed by President Pierce Sec retary of War, which post he held till the accession of President Buchanan in 1857. His administra tion of the War Department was marked by ability and energy, and was highly popular with the army. He proposed or carried into effect, among other measures, the revision of the army regulations, the introduction of camels into America, the introduc tion of the light infantry or rifle system of tactics, the manufacture of rifled muskets and pistols and the use of the Minie ball, the addition of four regi ments to the army, the augmentation of the sea coast and frontier defences of the country, and the system of explorations in the western part of the continent for geographical purposes, and for the determination of the best route for a railroad to the Pacific Ocean. Having been previously re-elected on his retirement from the War Department, Col. Davis re-entered the Senate for the term ending March 4, 1863. In the Sessions of the 35th Con gress be has been conspicuous in the discussions on the French Spoliation Bill, which he opposed, and on the Pacific Railroad for the Southern route, of hich he is a zealous and most influential advocate.

RICHARD WEAVER, THE CONVERTED COLLIER. —On Tuesday evening last, the Rev. J. Bligh delivered a lecture on the remarkable life, labours, &c., of Richard Weaver, the converted collier, in Fetter-lane chapel. The various topics were illustrated by some of the interesting and striking incidents with which Weaver's life abounds. The audience was unusually large, and seemed deeply in terested in the subject. The lecture was in connection with the London Congregational Association. Rev. R. G. Harper, minister of the chapel, presided. SHREWSBURY GREAT HORSE FAIR, Oct. B. Yesterday the autumn horse fair was held at Shrewsbury. There was an extensive supply of handsome grown cattle exhibited for sale, and there was a good show of horses on private view in the stables the previous day, and from which many valuable purchases were made. Very best descriptions of horses adapted for harness purposes, and riding horses of blood and pedigree, readily found buyers, but an inferior class of horses were, as usual in the decline of the season, in dull demand. Young horses for private carriages,. superior horses 7 n 5 , p g l in lic as c . Onveyances, and making phaetons, h high . figures g s o u l r l e s at ; fromditt foro 65 t v o a town work, 24 to 36 guineas ; hunters of high pedigree and good fencers ranged in figures from 75 to 150 guineas, and others of celebrity sold at higher prices ; cobs and hacks 20 to 28 guineas, cart horses and colts 25 to 40 guineas, and Irish .bred horses 28 to 40 guineas.

He leaves, as next of kin, two brothers and one sister, each of whom will have £10,000. United 'Service Gazette. THE MILDNESS OF THE SEASON.—O wing to the extraordinary mildness of the season, many fruit trees in the grounds of the market gardeners have assumed a second display of bloom. In Pentonville, which forms a part of the parish of Clerkenwell, may be seen on the south side of Collier-street, a pear-tree in full bloom. This is one of the remaining fruit -trees which many years ago abounded . this parish, and of which there are now but few in e s b iste r nc o i At the siege of Sebastopol the total . num number of rounds expended amounted to 253,042 35 tars were used.
