There is something in the inexorable resolve manifested by Russia to pursue her traditional schemes of aggression which should insure thoughtful consideration and incessant watchful ness. Whether victorious or defeated in the field the result is the same in kind, though not in degree ; her watchword is still—Onward. The most striking feature in this pursuit is, when she receives a check at arms, she becomes most dan gerous, almost invariably securing by her tortuous diplomacy some advantage tending to the promo tion of her aims. The fact is she fights as a semi civilised nation will, with two arms—force and fraud—and when beaten with one, throws all the ntore energy into, and achieves a proportionate success with, the other. The grand mistake in dealing with her has been to overlook this, and, treating her as a civilised power, confide accord ingly in her good faith, a quality she really does not cherish—lying, perjury, and fraud occupying its place. Whether her purposes will not have been really advanced by the late War and " precious Peace " remains to be seen. That she will owe to them, before many years are over, a vast accession of strength, by means of the internal improvements which they have led her to attempt, will not admit of doubt. It is hardly less certain that, unless she be cautiously and resolutely dealt with, she will secure one important vantage ground, from which, by the Treaty of Peace, it was meant she should be excluded. We allude to Bolgrad, situated on the Lake of Yalpuck, which lake is connected with the Kilia arm of the Danube by means of the Lake of Kagurlin and the R9spida River, which, the reader may see, falls into the Danube close to the important fortress of Ismail. The state of the case is this. Austria proposed to the Allies the removal of Russia entirely from the Danube, which proposi tion, being seriously entertained, a line of de• marcation between Russia anti Moldavia was drawn out, and offered at the Paris Conference, whereby two-thirds of Bessarabia would have to be ceded to the above Principality by Russia, and the wish of Austria, we take it for granted, would be carried out. To this boundary Thi;sia, would not give her assent, and eventually the following conditions were agreed to :—"The new frontier shall begin at the Black Sea, at one kilo metro to the east of Lake Bourna Souls, ; shall, in a straight line, join the road to Ackreman, shall follow that road as far as the valley of Trojan, shall pass to the south of Bolgrad, shall ascend the river Yalpuck as far as the heights of Saratsika, and shall end at Kota mori on the Pruth." Now comes the hitch. The maps consulted in the formation of the above boundary were Russian, and, as it turns out, did not belie their origin. In all probability they were constructed by Russia as of old for the occa sion. Bo this as it may, when the line of boun dary came to be carefully considered after the peace, it was discovered that the terra firma between Bolgrad and the lake of Yalpuck, repre sented on the Russian maps, and selected as part of the line of demarcation had no existence but was mere moonshine ; while, to crown all, Russia insists on keeping Bolgrad The plea that she put forth—that it is an important strategic posi tion—meets with, it is true, apparently little credit in some quarters—but, nevertheless, m a y prove unexaggerated. This much is certain : Russia insists on keeping Bolgrad, and that despite of the remonstrances of the Allies (rather significant facts), and unless the " very active THE SUN, LO lON, SAVURDA SEirrEIVIWER 27, 18sn. correspondence" now going on on the sub ject be conducted with firmness on the part of the Allies, seems likely to retain pos session of it. The British and Austrian Go vernments are said to be extreme'y indig nant at the bad faith of Russia—but what right bad the former to look for anything else ? and really Austria, however firm, should be as mum as she can about the matter. The question then being, as we fancy—shall Russia be per mitted by the aid of false maps to frustrate the grand object the Allies had in view in this portion of the Treaty, viz., her exclusion from the Danube, or not ?—the nation will look with considerable interest for the reply, and will hold the Govern ment responsible for its nature. Another blunder may prove one too many. Mr. COBDEN has a right, if he pleases, to tell all the world what foolish spendthrifts his coun trymen are. Had we taken for two or three years a course which the country would not follow, we, too, might not have been unwilling to endeavour to right ourselves, or at least to assert our persist ency in our creed, before all Europe. We must bear with him, therefore, if he use a letter declin ing an invitation to the Brussels Free-Trade Con ference, as a peg on which to hang a diatribe against the late war. He should, however, not practise the vulgar fallacy of unexplained statistics to those who may, perhaps, forget to look beyond his figures. The years 1854 and 1855 showed some falling off in our exports, say, together, about four or five millions ; this year the exports of the first seven months will fully attain to what might have been expected from the average annual increase since the inauguration of Free Trade. If all goes on as it has (lone, we may export about twelve or fourteen millions more than we did during the years of war. " Observe," says Mr. COBDEN, in one of his sly parentheses, " observe the upward rebound of the present year of peace." Now, we always respect the parentheses of a careful thinker, and suspect those of an advocate. Your exact man, cannot write without giving the qualifications of his statements ; hence they increase his credibility with thoughtful readers like him self. Very different is their use in the hand of the partisan. He suggests to you in his paren theses what he would prefer not to attempt to prove. Now, Mr. COBDEN willingly overlooks two facts, though one of them stares him in the face in his own table. In the year 1848, the third of Free Trade, our exports fell off six millions, from the previous year, and the next year advanced about eleven, millions. To any one quoting figures to deduce truth from them, this surely was worth attention. It showed that the fallings-off and " cebounds" of commerce are not necessarily de pendent upon war and peace. As to the smaller falling off and rebound to which Mr. COBDEN' refers, the singular and notori ous fact is that these fallings off were in the Aus tralian and United States trade, which was surely unaffected by the war, at least were more than accounted for by our diminished exports to those quarters, while any difference in our trade with Russia was much more than compensated by those which went to various parts of the East (in dependently of war stores), and to India also. Mr. COBDEN was fully cognisant of these facts ; and bow, then, could he honestly imply that a state of war and a state of peace were the cause of the deficiency and the rebound ? The truth is, that never did a war interfere so little with com merce as this "foolish, just, and necessary war." We strongly incline to think, however, that had the wit whom Mr. COMDEX quotes been living now, he would have laid the folly at the right door—or doors. One fool would certainly have been the man who began thewar; and SIDNEY SMITH would have thought it, we apprehend, the opposite of wisdom for England to pule about a peace policy till the fool, more ambitious of territory and power than of exports, thought that no European injustice, no prospective injury to our position, would induce England to fight. Europe, however, well knows that if Mr. Coa - DEN retains his opinion, so does his country hers. It was indeed no groat compliment to the under standing of the delegates, or of any one else, to moot the question whether " Free Trade were responsible for the nation's misuse of its wealth." We know not who in his senses holds a man's mode of conducting his business responsible for the use ho makes of the money he earns by it. Some will spend it in pleasure or speculation, or even in gambling ; some will extend their business with it ; some will invest it in land or the Three per Cents., and retire ; and some will spend much of it on humane and philanthropic objects. It was, in fact, on the last that the •ountry spent its money. Statesmen, and Princes, and Courts, we know, had baser designs, but nit those who had earned the wealth by free trade. They had noble and elevated objects in view. They were sick at heart with the succumbing of all Courts to the great Despot of the North. They groaned over the wrongs of Poland and of Hungary, and of Italy too ; and had not the COBDEN clique com bined with Louis NAPOLEON and Austria to stop the war, another year might have seen Scandi navia encircling the Baltic, Poland eta Incipated, Hungary asserting its rights, and Italy standing on its feet. The nation sees the folly only of those who at the beginning and the end converted a just and necessary war into one of " foolish " results. Desirous as the substantial metropolitan house holder has very properly shown himself to have reduced to a minimum the temptation which in the guise of "cold meat" has so often led the nocturnal policeman to a temporary deviation from his beat, he may not unfairly be called upon to show such desire . arose from no animosity to the force by lending his voice to the removal cf a cause of temptation of a very different nature, but likely to be attended with the same effect. In our impression of Wednesday the reader might observe a report from Dr. LETIIEBY to the Com missioners of Sewers, from which it appeared the sworn defenders of the peace in the region of Whitefriars are subjected to what they not unjustly designate "a terrible nuisance." While pursuing, more particularly in the silence of the night, the by no means " oven tenour of their way," their nostrils, it seems, are assailed by a disgusting and injurious stench, so much so as to cause them to feel sick and sometimes to vomit, which effects are followed by a falling away of their strength and condition to an extent which, it is said, ne cessitates their removal elsewhere. We have but to name the foes malorum to convey the assurance that there is no exaggeration in the above state ment. It is the City of London Gas Works, which, doubtless to the surprise of all provincials, are situate in the very centre of London, and, as i n a crowded l oca li ty. a necessary inference, The noxious fumes, we are told, are evolved in the process of purificltion, which the great artificial source of light in our cities requires. In conducting this process the company, it would appear, have manifested no indisposition to ren der it as little offensive as the appliances of science would enab'e them ; on the contrary, everything they could do, we are told, has been done, and the o n ly result of the newest process recommended by the chemist has been a positive increase in the noxiousness of the vapours emitted. This being the case, the question arises—What is to be done ? Is the skill of the chemist to be pub once more in requisition, and relays on relays of the police to be placed hors de combat, until the contemplated end is attained ? or must the company be compelled to remove their works at the expiration of a rea sonable notice ? Whatever may be our sympathies with the police—aud sympathise with them we must do under so intolerable an infliction—their suffering is by no means the only ncr the chief point to be considered. If they whose official duties extend over but a portion of the twenty-four hours, and this spent in the open air, be thus affected by the effluvia, from the work, what must be the fate of the inhabitants of the locality who have constantly to breathe the same atmosphere, if in a varied degree, of intensity ? and how many thousands of the population in the neigh bourhood must, if in a minor degree, be inju riously affected by it ? In the garden of the Temple the greatest difficulty, we are told, is experienced in rearing tender trees and plants ; and there can be no doubt that within a considerable area the health of human beings is, to a greater or less extent, being undermined. It may seem hard to the shareholders of the company to be threat ened with an expenditure which, for a time, may seriously diminish the annual dividends, more especially when the desire to do what can be done to render the works innocuous has been so signally manifested. But the health of thousands cannot be permitted to be trifled with to ensure good dividends for a few years to a few score of share holders. The obviousness of this truth is so glaring that we should be ashamed to insist on it ; and, moreover, being satisfied that under no circum stances can such works be properly conducted in a crowded locality, we unhesitatingly answer the second question in the affirmative. The City Gas Works must no longer be permitted to poison the city atmosphere, as well as that of the locality with their noxious exhalations, but must be transferred to a distance from the metropolis, from whence there can be no difficulty in supply ing the wants of consumers. The adjective, let us add, by which the police describe the quality of the above nuisance may with great propriety be applied to the slow progress of the City in the race of improvement—it is " terrible." The veriest Cockney ought to be ashamed of it ! COURT CIRJULAR. BALMORAL, SErr. 25. The Queen and the Prince Consort walked and drove in the neighbourhood of the castle yesterday, the incle mency of the weather preventing► any distant excursion. The royal dinner party included the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Amelie of Hohenlohe Schillingfurst, Lady Augusta Bruce, the Earl of Aberdeen, and Sir James Clark. Despatches were sent from the Colonial-office yester- day to the Governor of Canada. The Bishop of Oxford, on Wednesday last, preached at the cathedral the annual sermon in aid of the funds of the Lincolnshire County Hospital. The Stamford Mercury says the collection amounted to 1021., the largest that has ever yet been obtained. The Earl of Chesterfield, Lord Stanhope, the Earl of Southampton, and Captain Oliver, are enjoying excel lent shooting at Bingham, in Nottinghamshire. The Marquis of Lothian has left town for Bliekling Hall, Norfolk. His lordship has just returned from the Continent. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford have returned to Woburn. Abbey, Bedfordshire, from visiting the Duke and Duchess of Leinster, at Carton House, Maynooth. The Duke of Cleveland has arrived at Raby Castle, Durham, from visiting the Duke and Duchess of Rich mond, at Gordon Castle, near Fochabers, N.B. The Duchess and Lady Augusta Poulett have also arrived at the castle, from town, for the winter. The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury will receive coniloany at Hatfield House, Hefts, about the middle of the ensuing month. The Earl Fitzhardinge left Berkeley House, Spring gardens, on Thursday, for Berkeley Castle, Gloucester shire, for the hunting season. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston left town on Thursday for Broadlands. Lady Marian Alford has joined the Marquis of Nor thampton and family circle at Castle Ashby, Northamp tonshire, from visiting the Countess Browulow and the Ladies .Cust at Belton Lodge, Torquay. The Nottingham Review says the Right Hon. Lord Forester, whose nuptials we lately recorded with the Lady Beauvale, widow of the brother of the late Lord Melbourne, is about to take up his residence with his bride at Knipton, in this county. The ex-Queen of the French, Queen Amelie, accompa nied by their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Nemours, the Count d'Leu, Duke d'Alengan, and the Princess Marguerite and suite, will visit Oxford on Sunday next—apartments having been secured for the distinguished party at the Angel Hotel. The apartments engaged are the same which the late Queen Dowager Adelaide occupied when she visited Oxford, and held a levee for the first time on record at an hotel. We understand that the ex-Queen and party will remain in Oxford till Tuesday next. The new library of the Dean and Chapter of Durham has been opened to the public on the same conditions as the old one. Considerable sums have been expended on its restoration. We understand that on Tuesday, the 30th inst , the Bishop of Durham will resign his see, pursuant to a late act of Parliament. After that day he must be addressed as Bishop Maltby, in like manner as the Bishop of London will, after his resignation, be Bishop Blorafield. —Durham, Advertiser. Major-General Sir Richard J. D acres, K.C.B , is appointed Major General on the Staff in Ireland, to command RON al Artillery. This is a new appointment, and is a tribute to the services rendered to British arms by Sir Richard while in command of the Royal Artillery in the Crimea. An Itchen Ferry fisherman, named Harris, was drowned in Southampton water last Tuesday, when it blew so hard. Such an accident has not happened for many years. Harris was about 30 years of age, and was lame. Hts fishing boat was found bottom upwards, with the crutch with which he walked in the boat. His father and brother have been all the week groping for - the body. Rossini, the composer, arrived at Strasburg, two days ago on his return fr )m Baden. In the evening he went to the theatre, where an ovation had been prepared for him. He stopped at Strasburg one day, and then left for Paris. The county gaol of Lancashire is now almost self. sup porting. A very large number of articles are manufac tured there from cocoa nut fibre, by the prisoners. These articles are exported larg€ly to America. It is understood that a:rout 40,0001. was taken from the Bank yesterday in gold bars for exportation. THE PARIS CONFERENCES.—The Nord learns that the conferences of the second plenipotentlariWWthe Paris Congress—those ministers of the powers repre sented therein who reside in the French capital—will shortly be convoke:), to regulate the questions left un settled last April. THE COURT AT BALMORAL.-The royal parly h ave en . joyed their usual healthful sports and pleasure drives during the week. Notwithstanding that the weather has become cold and variable, with occasional showers, the Prince Consort has been almost daily in the forest stalkirg for deer. On Friday his Royal Highness had the best sport of the season. He killed four stags, and one of the number wore a royal head. Indeed, it is evident that, at a range of 600 yards, the quarry has little chance when his Royal Highness is armed with his Mink': or any other well-to-do gun. His Royal Highness, we believe, the other day brought down a roe deer from the carriage in which be was driving on the moor of Inver, a little to the westward of the Invercauld Arms. On Monday her Majesty gave a grand ball at the castle, to which a numerous party of the royal visitors and nobility and gentry of the district had the honour f receiving invitations, by her Majesty's command. The entertainment was on a splendid scale. — Aberdeen Journal. OUR PRINCESS ROYAL'S INTENDED.—An anecdote touching Prince Frederick William and his future illustrious consort is current at Berlin amongst the highest circles, which reflect great credit on the perfect ,ense aid judgment of the former, and upon the high intellectual and sterlirg qualities of the latter. On re turning from England, Prince Frederick William is said have been asked by the Prince, his father, what he thought of his future Royal bride. "In my position, and with soy future destinies," rejoined the sor, "my special duty is to consider the mind, character, and tendencies of my future consort infinitely more than all external appearances. The latter won my heart—the former my admiration and, profound respect. They are -ucb as are fully worthy of her Royal mother, and such as aro best qualified t, ensure my domestic happiness, and to win for my wife and me the love and esteem of the Prussian nation." LATEST N EWS. NAPLES. The Times' (second edition) Paris correspondent says : " The Neapolitan question still makes no pro gress, and many conjectures and reports spring, as might be expected, from this pause in the pro ceedings. People say that it looks as if the de cided measures announced hung fire, and infer from this that they may not be taken, and that the matter may, after all, be in some way patched up. Now one of two things is quite clear ; the King of Naples must yield, or France and England must abandon the demands they have so strongly urged. It is difficult to ima gine an intermediate course ; equally difficult to suppose that, after all that has passed—after coming to a decision and preparing a squadron, the two great Powers will allow the thing to blow over, and the King of Naples to continue as before. It is quite incredible that such a course should be adopted, and I do not believe that it will, or that indecision exists on the part of the French and English Cabinets. Probably, were it consistent with the reserve and secrecy necessarily imposed upon high departments of the State, the slight delay might be explained in a very easy and natural manner. But the public, having got wind, perhaps rather prematurely, of the measures contemplated, is puzzled to understand why they are not immediately executed, and forges obstacles where forms perhaps are the sole impediment. The general tenour of the intelli gence on the subject contained in the French and foreign paper does not encourage a hope that the King will give way, and that the final notes pre pared by France and England may be dispensed with. Of the success of Baron Hubner's repre sentations there is as yet no promise, nor does it seem to be thought probable that he will be able to arrange the difficulty. Meanwhile the end of the week approaches, beyond which, as we have been assured, the despatch of the notes is not to be delayed." The Times (Second Edition) Vienna corres pondent says " Whatever may be said or written to the contrary, the Austrian Government is greatly vexed that the Western Powers have resolved to send their ships to Naples. It is not that this Cabinet has any kindly feeling towards his Nea politan Majesty, but it denies in toto the right of one State to interfere in the internal affairs of another. Credible information has been given me that Austria has done all in her power to prevent France joining England in the ex pedition to the Gulf of Naples, and that she is much mortified at her want of success. I know to a certainty that the Imperial Cabinet has more than once informed the Neapolitan Govern ment that it cannot and will not interfere in a quarrel which has been brought about by mere ob stinacy. Austrians in ace affirm that Baron Hubner had no mission to the King of Naples, but the impression on my mind is that he had, as General Martini, the Austrian Minister at the Court of Naples, has for some time been absent from his post, and did not leave Vienna to return to it until yesterday morning.' The Morning Post (second edition) says : " The intelligence we get from Vienna to-day informs us that Prince Petrulla, the Neapolitan Minister at that Court, had sent his resignation to Naples. The Vienna journals also state that Sar d.nia wishes to take part in the expedition to Naples, in order to protect her subjects. Why Prince Petrulla has resigned I know not. He has been many years at Vienna, and was supposed to enjoy the confidence of the King. At all events we may suppose that his resignation originated in some difficulty in earrying out his instructions from Naples. It is that he has failed to convince Austria of the necessity of supporting King Fer dinand. The Vienna telegraph also informs us that an Austrian ship was to join the allied squadrons if they went to Naples. lam unable to throw any light on these unexpected events." The Oesterreichis*he Zeitung has received news of importance from Cattaro. The Turkish steamers Malakhoff and Silistria, with Mehemed Pasha, the Turkish Governor-General of Bosnia, and four battalions of guards, on board, are expected at Antivari, in Albania. There is also a great move ment of troops in the Hersegovina and Turkish Servia. The Bosnian Contingent is assembling at Mostar, under the command of Mehemed Pasha, and the Roumelian troops are marching to Monastir (Albania), where Abdi Pasha has his head-quarters. All these preparations are mak ing against Montenegro, but it is almost certain that there will be no attack on that nest of free booters this year, as the Powers have interfered. M. de Sydow, the Prussian Envoy in Switzer land, has replied to the note of the Federal Government in the following, terms : " In answer to the note of the High Council of the Swiss Confederation, of the 10th, the under signed Privy Councillor and Envoy of his Majesty the King of Prussia can only refer to the tenour of his note of the sth, and to the reserves for merly made on the subject of the principality of Neuchatel. The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to repeat to the High Federal Council the assurance of his consideration. " DE SYDOW." The latest intelligence from Constantinople asserts that Admiral Houston Stewart is to re enter the Black Sea, and that the English fleet, under the command of Lord Lyons, will raceive reinforcements. Persia has proposed to refer to the arbitration of a foreign Power its differences with England. The Porte is sending to the frontier of Mon tenegro fresh troops, munitions of war, and an artillery force of 90 heavy guns. There was a rumour yesterday in Vienna that some Austrian ships of war were ordered to Naples as a " squadron of observation." FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY. .1 The Emperor and Empress will leave Biarritz* on Tuesday next, on their return to Paris. The Bank of France has concluded an agreement with the Mint of France, under which the latter undertakes to furnish it with 50,000,000 fr. in gold pieces of five francs. The Mint will furnish 175,000 fr. every day. The following telegraphic despatches were re ceived yesterday " ST. PETERSBURG, 25t,11.—The Emperor has addressed letters to the inhabitants of Jekatherino slaw, Cherson, the Taurida, and Bessarabia, thanking them for the patriotism of which they have lately given proof.

The Madrid journals of the 22d have reached Paris. The Epoca says : "A Cadiz paper states that the sequestration placed on the property of the Queen-Mother is about to be taken off. This is very probable, and after what took place in the Cortes, where no categorical accusation against her Aajesty was made, it could not be otherwise. Confis cation is,abolished in Spain; and when it was condemned oy the respectable Governments of the Liberal and Con 4ervative parties in the case of the Prince of Peace, it was impossible to apply it to the property of the mother of the Queen. Such measures can only be adopted in revolutionary periods, but cannot be persisted in when the laws recover their empire, and the sound sense of the people regains its rights." The same journal, which is a semi-official organ, declares that the resignation of M. Cantero will in no respect change the policy of the Cabinet, and it compares it to the retirement of Lord J. Russell from the English Ministry. AMERICA LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING. ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIA. The mail steam-ship P ers i a h as arr i ve d, with ad vices from New York to the 17th inst. She has brought $1,563,646 specie on freight. Our New York correspondent writes:--" The steam-ship Cambria arrived at Boston on the 13th of September, and the Arabia on the 14th. The Atlantic reached New York on the 15th inst. A letter had been published from Mr. Johnston, the Know• Nothing Free-soil candidate for the Presi dency, declining the nomination, and declaring his adhesion to Mr. Fremont. This letter was said to have been surreptitiously obtained. The Whigs were to hold a Convention at Baltimore on 17th to nomi nate candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presi dency. It was supposed theywould declare in favour of Mr. Fillmore. The Republicans were to hold conventions at Trenton, in New Jersey, and at Syracuse, in Now York, on the same day. The news from Lima is to the 15th ult. A revolt had broken out among the troops. The insurgents numbered 500 or 600 men, under General Castillo. When apprised of the revolt the President mus tered those troops which had remained loyal, to the number of 600 or 700, and proceeded to attack the insurgents, who had taken possession of the square of the Inquisition. After some skirmishing and a cavalry charge, the insurgents were compelled to retreat out, of the city, and the insurrection, for the time being at least, was suppressed. The populace were much excited during the day, but took no part in the affair." ARRIVAL OF THE ERICSSON. The United Stiztes mail ship Ericsson has ar rived, with advices from New York to the 13th inst. She has brought only $BOO specie on freight. The steam-ship Fulton, from Havre, had arrived at New York on the 11th jest. We hive accounts from Aansas to the sth of September. The Republican says that 150 of General Lane's men attacked Tecumseh on the , : \th, but that the particulars had not transpired. Judge Lecompte had issued an order to the Mar shal of the territory to arrest General Lane, and. General Smith had instructed Colonel Cook, com manding 14 companies at Fort Riley, to site the necessary assistance for the execution of the writs. One hundred Free State refugees arrived ,In the 11th at St. Lluis entirely destitute. They sated that a large number of families had taken refuge' at Fort Leavenworth. It is reported that a large number of Free State women and children were killed at Stranger's Creek on the 3d inst. Advices from Washington inform us that Gover nor Geary and General Smith have been apprised by telegraph that they will be furnished with suf ficient force to preserve order, and bring to justice all offenders against the public peace in Kansas. A serious riot had occurred at Baltimore ou the 1 12th between a Fillmore fishing club and a party of men at the democratic head-quarters ; two men were shot dead and 20 wounded. A grand demonstration in favour of Mr. Fill more took place at New York on, the 12th ; about 150,000 persons were present. The New York commercial accounts state that business was rather quiet.

The last grand gala for the season at these popular garden; will take Alice on Thursday next, Oct. 2, being for the benefit of Mr. Simpson's highly respected Sec rotary, Mr. Adams. The entertainments on this oc• " s i on will be very attractive, and the amuse ment of the visitors will be amply provided for. An efficient public servant never fails to be appreci ated by the public of London, and we feel assured that the habitues of Crenaorne will not, on Thursday evening, forget the claims of Mr. A dams. But he is wisely resolved not to rest on his personal popnlarity, and he promises a truly interesting evening. Many artistes have evinced thou' respect for him by volunteer ing their services on the occasion, and there is a rich prograkirne. Mr. Adams will intro lute a practice which we think might be established with excellent effect, namely, by giving the public the option of purchasing a 2s. 6d. ticket which will free the visitor to all the exhi bitions within the gardens. UTTERING e FORGED CTIEQUE.—SaIt Hardwicke alias Ja 'ties Ralph, and Henry Atwell, alias James Attwood, two respectably-dressed men, one aged 66 and the other 24, %Tets brought before the Lord Mayor yesterday at the Mansion-House, in custody of lluggett and Scott, c ity detective oflicere, upon a charge of forging and uttering . a check for 4101. 74. 4 I. upon Messrs. Gosling and Co., the bankerg, on the 28th of June last. After some evidence bad been heard the prisoners were re manded. THE TRAFFIC OVER LONDON•BRIDGE.—A correspond ent of the Times says :—" The present arrangement of the slow and last moving vehicles upon the bridge itself, in four separate lines, two moving in each direction, is satisfactory when strictly carried out, and to its extent successful. But more is wanted. The surveillance of the police is required not only over London-bridge, but along the approaches on both sides of the river, as far as Cheapside and Gracechurch-street on one side, and along the Borough -road to St. George's Church and up Upton -street on the other. A stoppage occurring at the corner of Cannon•street, produced by one disorderly waggoner, foLoWed, perhaps by half a-dozen of his fel lows with loads of full or empty porter butts, the deli very of which ten minutes sooner or later can be of little consequence, is communicated the full distance over 1 iundon-bridge, and impedes alike the movement of the e t lerman who dines at Clapham and the traveller whose dectiAation is D wer or Brightman, Paris or Calcutta." THE" ROYAL BRITISH BANK.--Mr. Humphery Brown has; adifr essed a letter to the Times, in reply to an ar tiel e, On this subject he says : " Your assumption that the debts ',were emcected in the manager's parlour, as far as !aloe is concerned, is quite at variance with the fat;t. In rep, rd to my transactions I can safely say that they all pasted thros e ili the same offices as the general business of tire bank, and my pass-book was regular!) mar' e up in the same way as that of the other ellst•omers and by clerics kept in that department. The gre; =ter part of war obligations to the bank arose by a trot .sfer from a cri:ttomer of the bank to my debit. The bank at that time Lush] 40,0001. of his paper under die cattot, the value of which was then much perilled by scene large failures ia.Liverpoid, arl, after much anxiety negotiation, and mature consideration, the board of di rectors deemed it expedient that such an amount should be secured. The parties completed securities to me for the amount to cancel the bills, and which securities I aseigned to the bank ; these securities were valued by the bank brokers as ample, and they are now in course of realisation." THE MORTALITY AT BOVLOGNE. The sanitary state of Boulogne-sur-Mer, some deaths that occurred there, and especially the me lancholy case of Dr. Crampton's family, appear to have excited a degree'of alarm not altogether jus tified by the circumstances. There seems no doubt that at Boulogne, and also at Calais and some other places, there has been a rather unusual amount of angina, or severe sore throat, which has in various instances proved fatal. Persons interested in, or desirous of, the prosperity of Boulogne, which has suffered in consequence of exaggerated reports, have naturally done their utmost to dissipate the popular belief that the malady was particularly rife in that town, urging the probability that some of the per sons attacked may have brought the seeds of the complaint with them, and adducing, in proof of the healthy state of the place, the mortality of certain periods as compared with similar periods of previous years. Thus it appears, from a statement that has been forwarded to me, that in the week from the 10th to the 16th September, there were but 13 deaths, which is little more than half the number during the same week of 1855, and rather less than in any of the previous five years. It may be ques tioned, perhaps, how far the alarm inspired by the reported spread of the disease in the month of Au gust may have induced timid or delicate persons to leave the town. I know of a case of a family which, having lost a child at Boulogne by that com plaint, .sent off two other children to Paris, where they sickened and died within twenty-four hours of each other. From inquiries I have made in medical and other quarters I have reasonito be lieve that the angina, which has shown itself in several towns of the north of France, was more pre valent at Boulogne than elsewhere, and that it was of an eminently contagious, and, in a less degree, of an infectious character. I am assured, however, that during the present month it has declined both in virulence and in the number of cases, and pro bably by this time there is no particular reason for shunning Boulogne or considering it less healthy in that respect than any other place. There have been cases P t Paris, but not more than the average, as far as I can ascertain, and here the malady has cer tainly not assumed an epidemic form.—Times' Paris Correspondent. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From, the Mining Journal of this day.) There has not been so much excitement in the Mining Share Market since our last, nor have prices, generally speaking, been maintained at last week's quotations. Towards the latter part of the week, however, there was more activity observable, and Great Alfred shares, which had dropped from 14 to 9, owing to the number of Fellers in the market anxious to realise their profits, became firmer, and rose to 9i, 10, at which price they left off. Alfred Consols have been much more in de mand, and price firm, at 15. to 16i ; West Basset, 30 to 31 ; in Grenville, very large transactions have taken place, at 2i to 2i, 2i, leaving off very firm ; East Tre fusis, in demand, at 3 ; Porkellis, 10i to 11 ; Rose warne has been inquired after, at 65 to 70, and few sel lers to be found ; North Frances, 10 to 10i ; West Frances, 171. to 20 ; this mine is improving going west. Holmbush, 2to2i ; Mary Ann, 36 ; South Tolvus, 150 ; Craddock Moor, 45 ; Devon Consuls, 400 to 405 ; Wheal Wrey, 8 to 8k ; Trewetha, 3i ; Butlers have dropped from 330 to 290, sellers, owing it is said to the discovery made late last week, and which caused the sudden rise in the shares from 290 to 350, not holding on, and the expected dimi nution in the dividend to Si. bringing sellers into the market. Basset remains about the same, 280 to 290 ; South Frances, 360 to 365 ; North Bassett, 38 ; Lud cott, 1i to 1i ; Great South Tolgus, 10 to 101 ; Tehidy, 21 ; South Tamar, ; Tamar Consols, 20s. to 21s. The Austrian Squadron of Evolutions, composed of the Schwartzemberg, 60 guns ; Venus, 86 ; Carolina and Diana 24 each ; Ussaro and Pilade brigs, 16 each ; steam-corvette Elisabetta, 6 ; and the Prince Eugenio, screw-steamer, 4—all under the command of Captain Bourguignon—which are, now-at Malta, will, it is said, before returning to Trieste, visit Algiers and Toulon. THE SEES OF LONDON AND WESTMINSTER AND DURHAM. —A. country clergyman in a letter to the Times says :—" There seems reason to complain of the see of London not being filled up by the translation of a tried bishop. As the Bishops of London and Durham and Winchester take precedence of the other bishops and en joy the privilege of a seat in Parliament ex officio, surely the incomes of those sees should be a little above the in comes of the others,—say 6,0001., and they should be generally reserved as rewards to diligent bishopz." THE METROPOLIS ROADS COMMISSIONERS.— EXTRA ORDINARY PROCEEDINGS.—Yesterday morning the com missioners of the metropolis turnpike-roads held a special meeting, at their offices in Whitehall-place, for the purpose of considering whether all, or any, and which, of the several toll-gates now placed, on the ninth, Amongst other districts on the north of the Thames, sbould be removed and placed elsewhere, or discontinued. The intimation conveyed in the public notice convening the meeting, and which was prominently displayed at all the metropolitan toll-bars, induced the ratepayers to believe that the court would be open, oy that at all events the commissioners wou ld be ready to receive representations in reference to the heavy grievances which these toll-bars inflict. Mr. Bradfield, who re presented 620 tradesmen, attended with a memorial to the effect that turnpikes were highly objectionable, but was refused admittance. ROYAL BRITISH BANK.—The Welsh Works of this company are situate in the Llynvi Valley, Glamorgan shire, about five miles from the town of Bridgend. The Llynvi Valley Railway connects the works with the little harbour of Porthcawl, distant about six miles, and a short line of !rails branching from the same railway brings thorn into communication with the South Wales Railway at Stormy, three or four miles below Bridgend. The works are known as the Cefn works, and comprise the Cefn Cwsc and Park Tyr Gunter iron works and collieries. The iron works consist of three blast furnaces for the manufacture of pig iron, with the necessary ad juncts of a blast engine and hot-air stoves, casting-houses, refinery, and workshops. The coal mines afford access to a very extensive tract of coal and iron ore, occupying, in seams averaging in thickness from four to 30 feet, more than a thousand acres of land. The quantity of coal and mine yet to be wrought is estimated at a very largo amount—from ,50,000,000 to 100,000,000 tons. Tbo property is held by the bank as assignees of leases for long terms from several landed proprietors. AMATEUR PERFORMANCES.—The amateur performance at the Theatre Royal, en Tuesday night, by the officers of the Chatham garrison, was eminently successful, the house being crowded by a brilliant and fashionable au dience. The receipts realised nearly 1001., which will be given to the Distressed Soldiers' and Sailors' Society. The Government, it is said, have resolved to open a communication between Portsmouth and Langston Har bour, by n canal, 200 ft. wide, and 13 ft. 9 in. deep. The plans and specifications are said to be ready, the con tracts to he Bluely taken, and the work commenced. Further schemes are also said to be under consideration, which, if carried out, Asill not only render Portsmouth impregnable, but will make it one of the largest Govern ment establishments in the wo .rld.—Builder. MILFORD HAVEN.—Several commerc i al companies are in course of formation, all of which contemplate making Milford Haven their port of traffic. About a fortnight ago we stated that tour steam-packet lines were about to be immediately established or improved from Lisbon to the Azores, brazil, and England, and that the ter minus of the English packet line will be Milford Haven. In addition to this we are now in a position to inform our readers that an extensive commercial company has been formed, whose ships are to sail between this country and the East Indies. The first determination of the company, in which some of the principal commercial names of England are to be found, is, that their vessels are to start from Milford Haven.—The Welshman. MURDER THROUGH JEALOUSY.—A shoeking murder has been committed at a place called Ogley Hay, Std. fordshire. A railway labourer named Burrows was on Wednesday lodged in the Stafford county gaol, charged with the murder of a fellow " iaavvie" named Fisher, under the following brutal circumstances :—The parties lodged together, and were employed in the public works in the neighbourhood. Fisher was jealous of Burrows, whom he suspected of improper familiarities with his wife. The parties, it seems, were drinking together at a public-house at Brownhills, and quarrelled and fought, after which they went home together, where the quarrel was renewed. Fisher was standing at the door of his house, when after some wrangling Burro css seized a heavy poker, with which he struck Fisher a fearful blow on the back of his head, literally dashing his brains out, and killing him on the spot. Burrows was immediately afterwards apprehended by Inspector Price, and taken before J. Foster, Esq., R. C. Chauner, Esq., W. Harri son, Esq., and J. E. Bosley, Esq., at the Pelsall Sessions, and remanded until the coroner's inquest . should be held. This inquiry has since taken place, and evidence having been adduced corroborating the above state of facts, the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Burrows, who was committed to take his trial at the next Staffordshire assizes. REFORMATION OF CRIMINALS. —A member of the National Reformatory Union, in a letter . to the Ti mes. thus observes upon Lord R. Grosvenor 's letter which ap. peared in that journal a day or two His Lord ship is of opinion that reformatory institutions will be of little utility in reducing the numbers of cri mina l s , an d that the only effective course is to extend the parochial system—viz., increase the number of incumbents and curates, which would, he believes, cause the extension of the staff of Scripture reader, national schools, clothing societies, &c. Lord Robert Grosvenor shows how prisoners are convicted over and over again, and so at last, when no one will employ th e o f t - committed and g i ve him a chancs, they improve themselves in the art of crime in order to prevent starvation. Then their pro fession has all the attraction of the exercise of a science, and so our lapsed ticket-ofleave man becomes the ac complished member of soci e ty, w hi c h I won 't exac tl y say we have made him, but I think I can undertake to show that if I were to make such an assertion I should not be very wide of the mark: Now, this is the very evil which reformatory schools are nee d e d to prevent. Instead of children being committed and recommitted for short periods to prison, so that they lose the dread of a gaol and become hardened in crime, they should on their first conviction be sent to a reformatory for a period sufficiently long to admit of their being trained to honesty and industry, and placed in the way of earning an humble, but honest livelihood. If this course were generally adopted, a considerable diminution of crime could not fail to be soon apparent." LI fERATUItE. An Argument for the- Legislative Prohibition, of till Liquor Trgiiic. By Dr. J. R. Lees. 'William Tweedie, Strand. To this essay was awarded the first prize of one hundred guineas offered by the Alliance. The author, if we are not mistaken, has distinguished himself as one of the most learnel and able de fenders of the principle of Total Abstinence. 1 . 11 the present essay his objects are to show that it 15 wrong and impolitic in a State to sanction cr license injurious trades or professions. That the traffic in intoxicating liquors is anti-social, and ought there fore to be prohibited. That all past legislation based on the principle of regulating, instead of stir pressing, the traffic is unsatisfactory. That the traffic is indefensible either on the ground of gain or national revenue. That the prohibition of the traffic is compatible with just libertyand legitimate commerce. That the suppression of the traffic would powerfully promote civilisation. That the history of restrictive legislation in North A m erica and the experiment of a prohibitory law, illustrat e and confirm the position of the Alliance. That all good citizens should combine to procure an enact' meat prohibiting the sale of intoxicating beverages , , as affording most efficient aid in removing the 0 0 ! of intemperance. Towards the establishment 0 1 these several propositions Dr. Lees addresses hit° . self in good earnest, and brings to bear his varied knowledge, habits of research, and dialectic powers with considerable skill, and with more or less effect, in proportion to the difficulties with which he has to contend, not the least of which is the despotic and intolerable nature of the prohibi• tory law !

A second edition, with considerable improve' ments, constituting a work which at the present time is peculiarly needed, and is commended to the notice of the public by the high character as a legg interpreter acquired by the author. Mr. Cox does not appear to have been favourable to the new re gulations, and perhaps, on that account, is the /esa likely to overlook any defect of the recent eel calculated to be detrimental to parties intereste d in any of the new schemes called into operation 11 its provisions.

The first instalment of a work, to be complete d in seven parts—descriptive of the scenes, legend° , classical, historical, and local traditions of a por' tion of our island peculiarly interesting to the archeologist and general student.

BRITAIN AND THE FAR WEST OF AMERICA. (Prom, the Liverpool Daily Post.) It is only within the last week that a most important question has been solved, one which has deservedly r'" ceived great attention on the other side of the Atlantic, namely,—Whether it is practicable and profitable to carry on a direct trait) between Chicago,, the ultivao Thule of the American Lakes, and this country, without transshipment, or forwarding Buffalo and New rOrk, the course hitherto generally adopted' Experience proves not only the feasibility but the benefits of this through traffic. There is now i n the Queen's-dock a vessel of 387 tons burden, the Do n Richmond, which has not o n ly ma d e th e passage froth Quebec, but has traversed 2,400 miles of inland, Water,' bearing a cargo of 400 tons of gra i n , th e fi rst ' vesse l an d the first cargo which ever arrived here direct from Chicago, opening a new field for commercial enterprise, marking an important epdch in the annals of the Far West. Nor is it a matter of local importance, or likely to result in the benefit of Anierican interests only, else see should not refer t ) it. World-wide advantages may fel' low. Great. benefits to us must arise from the succee ° of this plan. Whatever c on d uces to cheapen lot" facilitate its delivery, and increase its supply, must be to the general good ; and the arrival of the Dean Richmond gives promise of being the forerunner and opener of trade which will produce the above results. That we may not be supposed to have overrated the importance of Chicago, it may be as well to state a ,f e f, facts with reference to th e t ra d e w ith t h at part. .1"71 population in 1850 was 29,000, i n 1856 i t has i ncre ase' to 104,000. The shipments of grain in 1855 was 2,200,000 quarters, being the largest quantity shipped from Any one port in the world ; pork, 77,000 b arre l s ; b ee f, 56• 0 0 barrels ; imports, 40,000 tons of i ron , 110,000 to" of coals ; lumber, 325,000,000 sup er fi c i a l f eet ; arrival', 6,610 vessels of 1,608,845 tons. The port posseesel storage in warehouses for 500,000 quarters of grain, et. which 400 ton vessels have been loaded in four hour& We are indebted to Mr. Richmond and Captain Piers° , the owners of the Dean Richmond, for these statistic*. It should not be forgotten that all this trade was eat. ried on under the disadvantageous circumaumstances ready referred to, all these vessels laden merely to be discharged into others, not one having come direct to Great Britain but the Dean Richmont To what vas proportions 'may not such a trade be extended, when provided with greater facilities # Have we not all cause to hope that the experiment, so succe ss f u ll y b rou ght to a close, may eventuate in a constant communications to the mutual benefits of all The north-western states, with their great railwai and canal facilities, can lay down at the lake per" iarger quantities of grain, at a less cost, and deliver the same in England in a shorter time than the cap' tries on the Black Sea. Hitherto, as we have stated , the trade has been carried on via New York, the goods passing through three or four different Land s ere they reached England, each change entailing a commission besides loss of time, and three several freights,--in the aggregate amounting thi s se ason t°,. 13s. Bd. per quarter, with an unusually low rate of carriage to Buffalo. The Black Sea frieghts at present are 13s. per quarter, and the usual voyage from Galati 70 to 100 days. The Dean Richmond has made tb 6 entire passage in 60 days, including .12 days detention in the St. ; Lawrence, which would not be likely to occur again ; vessels, therefore, may be expected to'rnsko the run in 50 days, while a vast saving in expense will be gained, the freight and charges being less by several shillings than vid New York or from the Black Sea. The canal dues on cargo of 400 tons and the ship amount to 301., and steam tugs 301. imere ; there are no port charges, light dues, or pilotage on the Lair*, and therefore the saving of cointnissions and freight is not counterbalanced by other iinposts. Another important matter is the improved condition of the grain which a direct trade would secure. At present the Liverpool merchantscomplain with justice of the state of Western grain when received, via New York and Alontreal, in large ships. That now discharging from the Dean Richmond is in as good condition as when shipped, thus showing the advantage of the direct trade in vessels of 300 or 400 tons. Nor should it be forgotten that the West requires the manufactures of Great Britain. Our iron, hardware, earthenware, &c., are imported via New York—imports► like exports, passing through several hands increasing cost and occasioning delay. These goods could be iut• ported direct, to the benefit of all concerned. And, now for a few words respecting the vessel, which, with the cargo, came consigned to Messrs. Big land, Athya, and Co , of this port. The Dean .Rich mond is a fore and aft schooner of 380 tons register ; her length is 145 feet over all ; beam 20 feet ; depth of hold 12 feet. She drew 9 feet, with 400 tons of wheat in her, and has beaten wany vessels from Quebec by two and three weeks. The Dean Richmond is built entirely of oak, except the decks, and is fitted with a new centre board, which in deep water gives hera draught of 18 feet. She has immense spars for her size, and altogether has a very rakish appearance. At present she is the largest vessel which can come through the canals ; but by a moderate outlay upon them we are given to understand ships of 800 to 1,000 tons could easily be adn.itted. CHELTENHAM STAG HOUNDS.—Th e Earl Fitzhardinge hag, with his wonted magnificence, presented Captain West —the master of this pa2k—with 14 red deer (12 bucks and two hinds) selected from his park at Berke ley for sport during the ensuing season.
