'Wf MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoox. The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed firmly, but with lem excitement, and the prices of Americans and Surats were Id. per lb. dearer than on Friday last. All other kinds were unchanged. The sales were 12,000 bales, 2,000 for speculation, comprising 1,200 Perna.m and Maranham, 6P.. to ; 500 Bahia, 61. d. ; 400 Egyptian, 61d. to 9d.; 1,000 Surat, 41d. to 4.1 d. ; and 1,000 Se r.. Islands, ls. t o Is. 7d. per lb. The Rsilway SI - lare Market Was quiet, and prices were much rue same as on Saturday. .Accounts from Copenhagen state that the nego tiations relative to the Sound Dues are progressing actively between the Danish Government and the representatives of the States interested. The only difficulty which now appears to retard the solution of thia international question is the division of the ca!"Dital to be received from the different mari time S tates. This division is band upon the num ber and. tonnage of ve3sels which they have re spectively sent into the Baltic during the last 20 years. Commercial advices from Antwerp contain a trade report for the week ended the 30th August, Which exhibits great steadiness in prices, without anY large amount of business having been done, exceptin g in grain—the transactions in wheat and qo having been numerous. The coffee market continued firm, with a disposition on the part of holders of stocks to raise the price, in consequence of the pressing demand. In wool a limited amount of business was done, but the market ruled steady, and buyers were dealing with reserve at the prices demanded for Buenos Ayres and Monte Video Wools. Trade in the textile manufacturing districts con tinues in a sound but quiet state. The improved s tate of the weather during the last day or two, and the favourable accounts of the progress of the harvest have imparted increased confidence among t he holders, but no extension of business can Fit be reported. There is rather more inquiry for discount ac commodation in Lombard-street, and at the Bank of England, as the 4th of the month approaches ; but no inconvenience is experienced, and the r ates remain without variation. For harvest o Perations there is a steady absorption of capital, but as business in all departments c ontinues dull, the high rates which money still c ommands do not press very heavily upon the corn- Mercial interests. A few weeks hence, however, tr ade, as usual at that particular period of the pear, will no doubt revive, and the inquiry for c ash may therefore increase. On first-class paper ac commodation is still procurable at 4i per cent. The Market for English Stocks is rather heavy, a large sale of Stock having had the effect of de- Pressing the Funds to the extent of per cent. The transactions have not been numerous, and the a PPearance of the market is exceedingly inac tive. Consols for money and account, although at one period 95i 1, are now about 95 to 95 i. Exchequer Bills are about 12s. to 15s. prem., and the Bonds rule at 1001. The New Three per Cents. have been 951 to 96, and the Reduced o "I• India Stock is 235, and Bank Stock 220. In the Foreign Market there is very little alter !Ulan to notice, and the prices rule firm. Turkish ° Per Cents. are maintained at 103; i; and the 4 Per Cent s . are a b ou t th e same . S we di s h 4 per e , ° tits- are marked 85k. Brazilian 3 p er C en t s . 43 , and S ar di n i an 92 t o 921. S pan i s h 3 per C en t s. have been dealt in at 441, and the Deferred 25k. Dutch 4 per Cents. are 98 to 98i. r. The foll ow i ng are th e nom i na l pr i ces o f F ore i gn stocks;--G rena d a Deferred Bonds, 7 ; Mexican, 2 2 2 3 ; Peruvian, 80 2 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 58 60 ; Po rtuguese 3 per Cents., 45i 6 1 ; Russian 5 per ‘ j ents., 108 10 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa nish 3 per Cents., 44/ 51-; ditto Deferred, 25 51 ; ditto Certificates, 6 6/ ; ditto Passive, 6, 7. There is a quiet market also for Railway Shares, ' w hich are generally flatter. Caledonians have s lightly improved ; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee r ule firm, and North British have risen 10 s. to 1/. s outh -Eastern, Lancashire, and South-Western,are rather lower. Great-Western of Canada are fluc tuating, having been marked 25, 24 25, and 24 1 • Grand Trunk of Canada are 14! 1. Foreign Sc ares are nominally steady. Rigas are 11 pm. bet firmFn and Colonial Mining Shares are dull, 33 anking shares are generally supported, and the l u ttorean are a fraction better. Royal British, however, have dropped 2/. to 31., owing to some nil favourable rumours. They are now marked 27 and 24. G enera l O mn ib us C o .' s s h ares are 4t o 41 , b e l ng firmer, and National Discounts rule steady. aItITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

VIOLENT AMSAULT. —Michael Berkley, acostermonger, was charged with violently assaulting James Philpot. The complainant stated that he was lodging at the Tap of the Three Tuns, Aldersgate, and that last night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, he heard the prisoner and the potman:quarrelluv. He went :out to request them to desist, and told the prisoner to hold his tongue, and complainant went between them to prevent them fight ing. He left and fetched a policeman, on which pri soner ran after him, and struck him a violent blow in the mouth, cutting his lip open. The prisoner excused his conduct by saying that he was drunk at the time, and had now no recollection of what occurred. He was sorry for what he had done, and humbly begged the complainant's pardon. The Lord Mayor—That's all very well. You appear to be a dangerous man when drunk. Is the prisoner known ? Has he been here before Partridge (gaoler)—Yes, my lord ; about 12 months r,ince be had three months for breaking open a man's Lead. He is well known to the police in Bishopsgate• street. Prisoner said he was never charged before in his life, The last witness was mistaken. The Lord Mayor—l shall remand you for inquiries to be made. The prisoner was remanded accordingly, GUILDHALL. BRIBING AND TREATING THE OFFICERS OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. —Sir Peter Laurie was occupied a considerable time this morning investigating charges made by Mr. Try, carrier, of Rickmansworth, against the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, arising out of a complaint made by one of the officers against Try, and heard yesterday be fore Sir Peter Laurie. It appeared from the evi dence adduced that Try's brother met one of the men named Pearsall some months since, and after some c mversation relative to the state of a horEe he had in a cart, Pearsall produced a book purporting to be the society's book, and the result was that Pearsall said he c )uld not take anything, but Try might put something in his pocket, and he accordingly put two half-crowns in his pocket. _ Try, the defendant in the former case, identified Smith and Seaman as men be had treated to prevent being "pulled." The men denied the charges made against them. Sir P. Laurie said he had no doubt these practices very often happened, but the proof was not sufficient to substantiate a criminal charge. The cases were very suspicious, and he advised the men to be watched, and the charges to be investigated by the committee of the society. The men said Mr. Try's horses were very bad, and it was in consequence of that, those charges had been brought against them. BOW-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A PRISONER.—A young wo man named Smith, was placed at the bar charged with creating a disturbance near King-street, Westminster. A police-constable of the A division stated that last night the prisoner, with four or five other girls, com menced creating a disturbance near Westminster Abbey. He cautioned them, and insisted on their leaving, which they immediately did, but they only went as far as King-street. The prisoner saw three men approaching, and she ran forward to meet them, but they avoided ber, and she then rejoined her companions and recommended quarrelling. Finding he ccaild not prevail on tha girls to leave the sp,t, a locality infested with prostitutes of the lowest description, he took the prisoner into custody. On the cell in which she was confined being visite' at the usual hour, it was discovered that she had attempted to commit suicide by strangulation. She had divested her:elf of her garters, and, having twisted them together, had tied them so tightly round her throat, that had she not been discovered death would have occurred in a very short time. He had reason to believe, from what the prisoner had told him, that she had, a short time ago, been a respectable woman, but that sho had unfortunately become acquainted with a number of prostitutes, the loss of character, and her present degraded state was the cause of her making the attempt she had done upon her life. Her companions he knew perfectly well ; they were prostitutes of the lowest description, hut the prisoner he had only observed about the streets for about a fort night. Mr. Jardine asked the prisoner what she had to say in answer to the charge. The prisoner remained silent. The worthy magistrate said he should not treat this case as one for simply annoying people in the street, but he should remand the prisoner for a week in order that some inquiries might be made about, her. SOUTH WARK. A CANNIBAL—BITING A WOMAN'S TONGUE OFF.— Catkarine Shea, a middle-aged, savage-looking Irish woman, was brought before Mr. Combl, charged with biting a large portion off the tongue of Johanna Smith, another Irishwoman, who is at present confined in St. Thomas's Hospital, suffering severely from the injury ii.acted on her. Police-constable 122 M said that about 4 o'clock on Monday morning he was on duty in Queen-street, when he heard cries of murder proceed from Willow•court, and on going there he saw the prisoner struggling with the injured female. The latter called out, "For God's sake help me, as this woman has bitten my tongue off." Witness saw blood come from her mouth, and after se- curing the prisoner he picked the piece of tongue off the ground, and immediately conveyed the woman to the hospital. Witness produced the house surgeon's certi ficate, showing that Johanna Smith was confined to her bed from injuries inflicted on her tongue ; he therefore asked for a remand for a few days to enable the prose. cutrix to attend. The prisoner here said that it Was 'all the complain • ant's fault, as she took her husband away from his bed at four o'clock, and, then, they quarrelled and, had a fight. The complainant tried to bite her"; but she had no intention of biting Mrs. Smith's tongue off, Mr. Combe told her that she was worse than a brute. He bad heard of the Irish biting each other's noses off, but this was the first time 'he ever knew any one charged with biting another's tongue off. She must be remanded un'il the end of the week, when, no doubt, the prose• cutrix will be sufficiently recovered to attend, THAMES. CONVICTION FOR SMUGGLING.—George Hobbs, Joseph De Gray, TVilliam Heard, Henry White, Robert Toby, William Turney, Thomas Elliott, seamen belonging the steam-ship Ceres, trading between Londo n and R Ater dam, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with smuggling 101bs. of tobacco. Mr. Thomas Robb, a tide surveyor of Custom., stated that, on searching the top gallant forecastle, he found 101bs. of foreign manufactured tobacco. It was con cealed under the forecastle. He asked each of the 7 men to whom the tobacco belonged, and they all denied any knowledge of it, and said it did not belong to them. The prisoners used and slept in the forecastle, and he aid not think the tobacco could have been secreted there without their knowledge and consent. One of the seamen, in defence, said he knew nothing about the tobacco whatever ; a second stated. the ship carried passengers, and that four bullock man c^.me over with the vessel from Rotterdam. There were also firemen on board, and they had access to the forecastle. Mr. Yardley read the clause of the Customs Consoli dation Act, which declared that every person found on board ship where contraband tobacco and spirits were discovered was liable to a penalty of 1001., or to be sued for the value and duty, at the discretion of the Commissioners of Customs. The defendants said it was very hard upon them. The officers only brought seven away from the ship, and left the rest behind. Mr. Yardley said he could only administer the law as he found it, and if there was any hardship in it the L,gislatura must be appealed to for redreizs. Every man on board was liable to the penalty. Toe defendants might be perfectly innocent, but be must convict them. NEP E He fined them 20s. each, and he was rather stretchirg the law in doing so, because the act directed that he Should levy a penalty not less than the duty and value of the tobacco, which amounted to 3/. 13s. 6d. HOCUSSING AND ROBBERY.—Mary Ann Brown, a young woman, notorious for robbing sailors, and who has been often in custody, was charged with hocussing and plundering a seaman named Henry White. It appeared that the sailor Was discharged from his ship about 10 days ago, and shoray afterwards foil in with the prisoner who invited him to her lodgings, where he remained with her for a few hours and left his waistcoat behind him, promising to call for it again and give her some money. He went to her dwelling, No. 11, Henry street, St. George's-in-the-east, again on Friday and ro deemed his waistcoat. After giving her some money she invited him to have something to drink, and sent out for liquor, into which she no doubt infused some narcotic drug, for directly he had partaken of a glass of it he be camestupefied. Oa recovering hissenses he found himself alone in the prisoner's room and missed the whole of his money, consisting of a 51. Bank of Eogland note, a half-sovereign, and 8 in silver. He went out in search of the prisoner, and gave information to the police. Yesterday afternoon Kemp, a p )lice-constable, No. 201 11, met with the prisoner and took her into custody. She denied all knowledge of the robbery, and said that a loafer (thief) picked up the sailor in Whitechapel and stole his money. The prisoner, in defence, said she was innocent, and had never seen any of the sailor's money. Mr. Yardley—l shall commit you for trial. The prisoner—The sailor was Yery drunk, and broke a lot of my things on Friday. Mr. Yardley—That is no reason you should rob him. You are committed. M T NEWS.—;This Day.) HAY MARKETS.

CAPTAIN GRAVES, R.N.—MALTA, Aug. 27.—Shortly after noon on the 25th of August, whilst this much respected indi vidual was entering a calesse in the Strada Reale, to embark for England in the Ave, on leave, he received two stabs in the stomach from a Maltese boatman, whose motive for attempting his life was a supposed injustice at the hands of Captain Graves, who holds the office of superintendent of the ports of Malta. No serious con sequences are apprehended, 9.9 no vital part seems to have been injured. The miscreant was immediately arrested. A RARE BIRD.—An addition of great interest to orni thologists has been this week made, through the libera lity of her Majesty, to the collection of birds in the Zoo. logical Gardens. A large and brilliantly-coloured species of turkey (Meleagris ocellata) has been known for many years to inhabit the vicinity of Lake Peten, near the con fines of the provinces of Vera Paz and Belize, Cenral America; but so rare is even the skin of the bird in this country, that a stuffed specimen is valued by dealers at about 40 guineas. The late Earl of Derby,who was most zealous in his endeavours to improve the breeds of birds likely to be serviceable for food, went to the ex ier se of sending oollectors out to Honduras, almost solely with the view of procuring living specimens of this turkey, for his aviary at Knowsley. For nearly 20 years his lord ship looked forward to the gratification of possessing the species, but all attempts to bring it alive to England failed. This, we are happy to announce, has at length been accomplished by Mr. Skinner, the well-known collector of orchideous plants of Guatema'a, assisted by Capt. 'Wilson, of the West India mail packet Parana. Mrs. Stevenson, the lady of H.M. Superintendent of Biiiz., possessed a fine cock ocellated turkey and two hens, which she was desirous of presenting to the Queen, and Mr. Skinner undertook the delicate task of bringing , them to England. By feeding them with great care dur ing the voyage, (and constantly bathing the head to re lieve the eyes of a mucous discharge, and through being furnished, thanks to Capt. Wilson ; with plenty of room and air, the turkeys reached England on Monday last in tolerable health. Immediately on their arrival being com municated to the Queen, her INlajtsty commanded them to be presented, for the gratification of the public, to the Zoological Society ; and they may be seen in the aviary, on the left of the entrance to the gardens, near the peli cans and flamingoes. They are taller, thinner, and more erect than the common turkey, with the plumate marked, with iridescent peacock-like eyes, the legs being pink and the head of a peculiar soft clear grey blue, crested with clear, bright orange warts.—Literary Gazette. A MEMORIAL FOR FRINBLIN.—Among the several advocates for monuments to the memory of Wallace, Cromwell, and other celebrated men of past ages, we hear not a word breathed iu regard to a monuir.eot ire memory of Sir John Franklin and his followers, the heroes of Arctic history, who have perished in executing the mission assigned to them by this country of explor ing the frozen channel and icy wastes of the Polar re gions. Franklin's successors—the gallant men who were sent to prosecute the search for their missing coun trymen, and many of whom made important diec)veries within the Arctic circle, setting at rest the long-dis puled question of a North-west passage—have been pro meted, decorated, and rewarded. Dr. Rae and his party have received the liberal guerdon offered for tidings of the fate of Franklin's party. Mr. John Barrow has received, and very justly, a mark of respect from the Arctic voyagers, for his zealous and long-continued exertions in the cause of Arctic exploration. Lieut. Bellot, the young French officer, who lost his life in his zeal as a volunteer, has bad his memory recorded at Greenwich Hospital. Surely, then, it is but right that the hero aad martyr of the Arctic region— Franklin, and his 138 followers, should have some suit able record of their services and fate erected at their country's expense. When thousands have been spent, in the last few years , on tha t i g nis fatitus—the North- West passage—a few hundreds, at lea - t, might be de voted to record the names of the gallant men who have been sacrificed at the shrine of duty. The few recovered relics of the famished party are preserved in the Hall of Greenwich Hospital ; let , then, a fitting m onumen t b e also raised there, in Trafalgare-quare, or in some other suitable locality in the metropolis. Justice to these naval heroes demands that a national tribute to their memory should be raised ; and it would be a graceful mark of respect to the noble widowed lady who has done so much and spent so much herself in prosecuting the search for so many years. There will be no lack of de signs for such a memorial. The locality, the subject, and the graphic features of Arctic scenery will afford abun dant scope for ingenuity of design and tasteful execu tion. Let it not be a reflection on the British nation that noble services and enduring surveying labours, perseveringly prosecuted even unto death, can find no k lasting record among us,—Building News. INVESTITURE OPT THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY AS A KNIGI3T OF ST. PATRICK. LIN Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, Grand Master, held a Chapter of the Most Illustrious Order of St. Pa trick, at Dublin C tstle, on Thursday, the 28th ult. The Chapter of Knights consisted of the Earl of Roden (.vho wore the identical ribbon presented to him by King George IV. at the memorable installation of 1821 ; his lordship is the only survivor of the Knights then in stalled), the Earl of Wicklow, the Earl of Miltown, the Earl of Rosse, Viscount Massareene, and Lore. Cremorne. His Excellency the Grand Master wa , , robed in the splendid mantle of the order—on this occasion made of Irish poplin—which looked gorgeous in the extreme, far more striking than any satin or silk beret lore worn. His excellency also carried the collar of St. Patr;clr, and wore the insignia of the garter. His excellency is the first Grand :laster whohas carried out the intention of the r,)37:51 foun der of the Order of St. Patrick. One of the original or dinances require that the knights be robed in sit( or satin "wrought within the realm of Ireland," but Lori Carlisle, with his anxiety to promote native indus r and Irish manufacture, is the first Viceroy who has car vied this royal instruction into effect. Heret )fore, the robes were made in London of French satin, now they are the workmanship of Ireland's artisans—the silk wrought in Ireland, and so famed and popular as LiAl tabinet. Mr. Atkinson, the Lord Mayor Elect, has been made poplin maker to the Order. The Dean of St. Patrick's bad on his appropriate mantle, and wore his badge of gold, pendant by a sky-blue ribbon. The Ulster King of Arms (Sir Bernard Burke) was robed in the costume of his ancient office, and wore over it the crimson satin mantle of Knight-Attendant on the Order, together with the Badge of St. Patrick, pendant by a sky-blue ribbon. The last installation was held when King George IV. was in Ireland. Previously there were occa-tonally similar ceremonials, but since that time no installation has been held—letters coming after each investiture (which is the preliminary ordeal) dispensing with instal lation. We regret to state that the Earl of Granard and the Marquis of Donegal, who were both to have been in vested, were prevented attending by severe illness. In the absence of the Archbishops of Armagh and Dublin, the prelate and chancellor, the declarations were admi nistered by the Regi,trar, the Hon. and Very Rev, the Dean of St. Patrick's. The household attended in full costume. Lady Fanny Howard and children and Mrs. Mallet were present, and amongst the compony we noticed : Lady Seaton and party, the Marchioness of Londonderry, the Countess of Wicklow, Viscountess Massareene Coun tess of Meath, Viscountess A vonmore , Lard ilonck, Mrs. Ennis and the Misses Ennis, Mr. and Mrs. G. Tur. ner, Gen. and Miss Costley, Gen. and the Hon. Mrs. Con yogham, Gen. and Mrs. St. J. Clerko, Lieut.-Col. H. F. Ponsonby, the Hon. S. Carew, the Hon. S. Daly, Mr. Deedes, M.P., and Mrs. Deedes, of Sandling Park, M-., Mrs., and the Misses C Lady Burke and Miss Burke, Mrs. Larcom, Lady Talbot de Malahide, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Guiness, the Very Rev. Dean Meyler, Viscountess Netterville, Sir J. R. Euqace, the Right Hon. Sir T. Estuonde and Lady Esmonde, Chief Justice Monahan and family, the Deputy Governor of the Irish Society, Mr. Turnley, the Lord Chancellor and family, the Countess of How th and party, Mr. and Mrs. O'Con nor Henchy, Capt. Esrnoade, M.P., Mr. Griffin, Mrs. Chaplin, Lord Avonmore, Col. and Mrs. Browne, Capt. Cocks, Lieut. Breton, of the 4th or King's Own Regt., who, as well as a great man y o ffi cers , were d ecorate d with honours of the Crimea. At half-past 3 p.m. the Knights were called over by Ulster, and proceeded to the presence of the Grand Master, who was seated in the chair of etate, and, with the usual reverences, took their respective seats at the table, according to their stalls. His Excellency then commanded Ulster to read her Majesty's letter, authorising the chapter to be held, which being done, the Marquis of Loud inderry was in trodsiced by the Gentleman-Ush.•r and 'Ulster King of Arms, and kneeling, received the honour of Knighthood, and then retired. His Excellency the Grand :Master then c,)mmnnicate to the Chapter that her Majesty had been pleated to nominate Sir Federick William Robert Stewart, Knight, Marquis of Londonderry, to be a Knight Companion of the Most Illustrious Order, and to command that his lordship be invested with the Ribbon and Badge on the present occasion. By command of the Grand Master, the two Junior Knights present, attended by the Ulster King of Arms and the Usher of the Black Rod (Sir George Morris), proceeded to the door of the Chapter Room, and con ducted the Marquis of Lond on d err y b e t ween them to the right of the Chair of State, Ulster bearing the Ensigns of the Order before them on a velvet cushion, where his lordship made and subscribed the declaration appointed by the statute. His Excellency the Grand Master, assisted by the two Senior Knights Companions present, put the ribbon with the badge over the Marquis's right shoulder, pro flouncing the admonition ; after which the Marquis was congratulated by his Excellency and the Knight pre sent, and took his seat at the table. The Chapter being ended, Ulster, Knight Attendant, called over the names of the Knights Companions pre sent, who each rose from his seat on the pronunciation of his name, and the Chapter broke up. ~_ . ~ ME_YIC.AN BONDROLDEI?S. The following is from the Committee of Mexican Bondholders : "The committee have received alvices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 23 ult., and also a letter from him, which has been missing, dated 3d July laat. The law of desamortizacion ' of mortmain property (ecclesiastical and secular) of the 28th of June had as yet met with no very formidable opposition, and the new Minister of Finance was justifying the anticipations formed of the character of his administration, but General Vidaurri had declared against the Central Government. The Legislature of Coahuila was, however, endeavouring to heal this breach, and from advices of the 9th ult., received via United States, it would seem that this had been attended with some success. La Plata brings for the dividend fund $65,000 from Vera Cruz and $lO,OOO from Tampico. "The committee has been informed by the financial agency of Mexico in London that the term within Which Messrs. de Lizardi and Co. are to deliver up the deferred bonds issued in excess under the con version of 1837 has been prolonged till the 21st of October. With reference to the option given to Messrs. de Lizardi and Co. to deliver up either deferred bonds or active bonds of the last issue at the rate of 60 active for 100 deferred the Mexican Government, in reply to Col. Facio's observation on the difference in the value of active bonds at that rate, and of deferred bonds on which there is a claim for arrears of intere,t, Las informed him, as well as Messrs. de Lizardi and Co , that the alternative conceded was only meant to apply to a certain number of deferred bonds which a clerk of the said house was alleged to have abstracted, and that the intent and meaning of the agreement of the Mexican Government with Messrs. de Lizardi and Co. (dated 21st Feb. last) was that all the deterred bonds issued in excess were to be delivered up and cancelled without its putting the Government to the expense of a single dollar." And the following is from Col. Facio, the M ` xi can financial agent "Mexican Debt.—Bv the Royal West India steamer La Plata, just arrived, $75,000 have been received from Vera Cruz and Tampico. Besides the above sum, 33,230/. 103. 11d. is already deposited in the Bank of England." CO IVES, ISLE OF WIGEM—Sept. 1. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

THE GE VIAN LEGION AND THE CAPE. The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Times : Sir,—lt is proposed to send out German soldiers from the Foreign Legion, armed with Enfield rifles, to become settlers on the Eastern frontier of the Cape of Good Hope. Should any such plan be carried into effect, it will b 3 the cause of endless confusion, misery, and bloodshed in that already " debateable" land. Mercenaries would soon, by their aggressive conduct, make inveterate enemies of all the native tribes, and afterwards coalesce with our more civilised and much-injured enemies, the expatriated Dutch boers. In stating this I advance no fanciful theory, but one founded on a personal knowledge of Southern Africa, and an attentive study of our relations with the native tribes. Let but a trial be made of the plan I long since suggested to the " powers that be"—let full am nesty for the past be offered to the expatriated Dutch boors—let a belt of fertile land, extending between the Keiskamma and the Kye, be offered to these brave and ha r dly-used men—let this tract of country so occupied be acknowledged as an in dependent State, under British protection, on con ditiou that they keep the native tribes from our own frontier, and our colony will be cheaply and securely protected, and without either Ger man mercenaries or English rifles.—l am, sir, &0,, E. NAPIER, Colonel, Once employed on particular service at the Cape. A SUBMERGED FOREST. Visitors to our sea-coast, says a correspondent, often feel at a loss for a motive to that exertion so favourable to the acquisition of the health and strength they canes there to seek, and this is more eapecially the case with the invalid. As one object which will well repay attens tion, we may mention the overthrown and submerged forest of Hartlepool Bay, of the interest connected with which very few, probably, of the numerous visitors to Seaton Carew are acquainted. In walking along the beach northwards, when the tide is low, especially at the lowest neap tides, patches of a black c flour are oh iervab'e at irregular intervals in the seed. T less, when eza• mined more closely, will be found to consist of pore vegetable matter, resting on a bad of clay. They occur more frequently as the observer paces nerthwael to the pier of West Hartlepool, and may be seen again at low water at and near the breakwater at 0:d Hartlepool. These curious-looking patches form the remains of an ancient forest, which once grew on the spot, as the roots proceeding from the stump outward and downward in the clay beneath sufficiently testify—and the blank mat ter of which they are composed is nathing more than the accumulation of a Ling period of the growth and decay of under plants, the fall of leaves, twigs, and branches, and finally of the trees themselves, the overturned steins of which may be seen embedded in the peat. The observer of nature will be curious to ascertain the character and spe cies of the trees which whilom spread forth their branches in this primeval forest, and upon examination he will be gratified to find them precisely such as grow in the woods 'and forests of the present day. The oaks, of considerable ;ize, he will find outwardly decayed, but " heart-whole," aryl, by good (but difficult) management, capable of being converted into furniture. The wood of the fir has almost disappeared, but the bark is wonderfully perfect, even in colour. There also is the alder, the plants of which must have attained a considerable sizo. Thorn also is found in considerable quantities, but the most abundant of all probably is the hazel, with its rind nearly perfect, while scarcely a vestige of the wood remains. As was to be expected, among the decayed mass of leaves, &c., the seeds of many of these plants occur. Shells of the hazelnut are found in abundance round the root of the parent plant, as they have periodically fallen to the ground. The cups of acorns, too, will reward the diligeet searcher, and even the shining wing cases of the black beetle may occasionally be found. Other animal remains, such as the antlers and portions of the skull of the red deer or hart, together with the horns of the texand other bones, not yet satisfactorily made out, have also been discovered. It is not our purpose on the present occa• sion to do more than direct the attention of the seaside rambhr to this curious matter. To the geologist the subject, though common enough, will be always full of interest, as constituting one of the established facts of his science, and we may recur to the interesting evidence of this at a future opportunity.—Durham Advertiser. BERLIN, Aug. 31.—The Princess Royal of Sweden has left for Stockholm. M. de Budberg, ex-Russian envoy at this court, has received the Order of the Red Esele Ist class. ROYAL PRESENT TO THE MAYOR OF WINDSOR. James Brown, E-q., Mayor of Windsor, has had the honour of receiving, through the Commissioners of Words and Forests, a fine buck, shit in Windsor Great Park, as a mark of Royal approval of his conduct as chief magistrate of the borough. The report which has been going the rounds of the French papers of a number of young men having landed on the coast of Maremma, nem. Orbitello, and been suddenly routed by a natty of Gensclarme., is untrue. The Observer, of Trieste, says the: Baron Hubner, Aua'rian amba.ssalor at Paris, embarked at that port on the 27th ult. for Corfu, and will proceed from thence to Naul e. Th: London Chartist demonstration, in honour of John Frost, is to take place on the 15th of this month. BARTHOLOMEW FAIR.—It is understood that, in con sAitence of the removal of the cattle-market from Smith. fi ,'d to Copohha;_fen-fields, the L')rd May :r will this year forego the o..nual custom of Mug the holding of Bartholomew Fair. Despatches have been received from Admiral Guerin, cprnmanding the small French squadron whose arrival Nanzasaki we recmtly announcel. They are fahourable to the conclusion of the treaty between France and Japan, which it was the object of the expedition to It is probable that Archdeacon Derdson will appeal, in the first instance, to the Court of Arches, and from the latter, should the decision be given against him there, to the Privy Council ; thus it is considered that the ultimate judgment cannot be looked for before a couple of years. SUSPECTED CASE of POISONING AT BRIGHTON. —A R inquest was held in the latter part of last week, before Mr. Black, the borough coroner, on the body of a la bouring man of the name of Richard Watts, aged 40, living at 31, Liverpool-street, wh o di e d on the previous Wednesday under circumstances of considerable sus picion The inquest was adjourned in order that an analysis of the contents of the stomach might be made, and which was entrusted to Mr. M. Phillips and Mr. Schweitzer. The result of the analysis will be made public in a day or two. A CENTENARIAN.—Near the Devil's Bridge, Cardi ganshire, there lives a remarkably hale old man in his 1088!•h year. He is quite upright, stands nearly six fee t high, an I has complete possession of all his face!. tie•.

Illingwerth, the collector of the in come and property taxes for the borough. The defal cations of this officer amount to upwards of 1,0001. He was on the same day lodged in Lancaster Castle.

The su perior officer of the party, after dinrer, made a very neat speech, thanking Captain Ryan and the company for the kindness shown himself and comrades. RUSSIAN PRIZES.—It appears from a return made by the Admiralty to the House of Commons, and issued ye-terday, that 206 Russian vessels were captured by British cruisers in 1854 and 1855. All the captured vessels appear to have been unarmed, but it should be observed that the return contains but a small portion of the iessels which were captured from the enemy. Mary were captured both in the Baltic! and Black Sea, of which there are no particulars, as they were at once destroyed or otherwise disposed of. A letter from Berlin of the 27th nit., in the Breda Gazette, says We learn that M. Nulandt has re cently had a conference with M. de Manteuffel on the subject of the suspension of the Bank of Jassy, and that the President of the Council gave him little hopes of a speedy resumption of the affairs of that establish ment. Austrian influence, and particularly the personal action of P.Z. Prukesch Osten, has induced that Govern ment to oppose this measure so obstinately ; and there exists no reason to hope that it will abandon it." " The King of Prussia," says the Konigsbe9 g Ga zette, " will arrive at Heilsberg on the 3d Eeptem her with a suite of 140 persons. The troops which will take part in the manoeuvres will arrive tbei• on the 4th. They will be divided into the army of the east and the army of the west. The gland review will take place on the 6th. The manoeuvres will be resumed oa the Bth, and will con , ilue to the 12th." A letter from Berlin in the Debuts this refqrs to the intentions entertained by the Prussia i Go vermnent of increasing the fortifications of Span dau :—" It is at Spandau that our principal mili tary arsenals and depots are situated as well as the manufactories of arms and ammunition. This place, which under our first kings was very strong, outline of which we give below, supplies all that is farther necessary for understanding the points of difference on which this grave crisis has arisen, and at the same time their relation to general American Mr. Seward's speech, a )domestic poli t i cs. Another le .ter in the same journal says • ' h a s been already announced that the Princeg I of the reigni ng of t Mecklenburg Schwerin, brother Grand Duke, after resigning hi s post as major in the royal guard, retired to a chateau belonjn; to at Koenigsberg. The sensation c h a is us u e n d cl a e t th ß e Bing, e K rii i na and in military circles by this strange affair had scarcely subsided, when it was heard that the P r i nce had left the above chateau, and had embarked by a steamer for C Tenhageu' whence h e i n t en d s, it is said, rica., H is b rother the reigning Grand Duke leas on several occasions advanced him very con , iderable skims, but on this occasion it is said that the &Its and liabilities of the Pr nee amount to more than half a million.
