THE "MONITEDA." AND THE "I CONSTITUTIONNEL". (From the Times.) The position of a Government which, besides an ordinary control over all the supposed organs of üblic opinion, has also certain channels of its own for statements of a more or less official character, if not absolutely unfortunate, has at least great inconveniences. Since we last ventured to com ment on the threats of the Moniteur, and the in sults of the less official though not less controlled portion of the French press there have appeared two new articles that too plainly reveal the peculiar difficulties of Imperial and Ministerial editors. The forager of these is in the Constitutionnel and the latter in the Moniteur, and they stand rather in the relation of the sharp and brief rebuke with which a master corrects the noisy impertinence of his servants. We expected that rebuke, and there fore we refrained from noticing the absurdities of the Constitutionnel until that menial had received its well-merited castigation at the hands of its Lord. We have now to consider them together. It was only a few days ago that the Moniteur appealed to the English people against the English press. Since that, on the sth inst., the Constitutionnel— an Ultra-Ministerial print, well known to receive frequent inspirations from the Foreign-office—ap- pealed to the English people against the English Government. In an article, which we are informe d was much modified from the original draught, the English Ministry were accused of wishing to tear in pieces the Treaty of Paris, with " the view of satis fying an ambition momentarily disguised. This journal was accused' " of thinking fit to distinguish the Sovereign from his Government —the policy of the Emperor from that of his Ministers ;" and we are told that " such very poor subtleties need no refutation." Many of our contemporaries believed, or pretended to believe,that the original paragraph in the Moniteur was inserted without the know ledge of his Majesty the Emperor. We never shared the impression. But, while we regarded the brief declaration in the Moniteuras little else than an Imperial manifesto, we felt also that the longer, more angry, and rambling commentary of the Constitutionnel, seriously compromised the whole of the Government, from Ministers to the chief, if it should be allowed to pass without censure. That censure, such was our confidence in the good intentions of our Imperial ally, we were ready to invoke by a direct appeal. We were pre paring to ask whether the Emperor wished to put an end to the alliance and unity of action which had so long existed between France and England ? It was his undoubted right to take such a step if he deemed it for his own advantage and the good of the people whom he governed. Did he wish to give back to Russia what he had so gloriously con quered from her, and to exchange our friendship for hers ? It was in his sovereign will and plea sure. We might have urged somewhat against the policy, somewhat against the honour, of such a step ; but, if this resolution had been taken and ir revocable, as we had been united in all honour, we should have asked, at any rate, to part with cour tesy and dignity. This great alliance, of which his tory will have so much to tell, was not to be frit tered away by the licensed intemperance of a press which is nothing more than the mouthpiece of the Government. If there was between the Cabinet of the Tuileries and that of St. James's an irreconcil able difference, fatal to the continuance of our pre sent intimate relations, it was fit we should part, as beseems great Powers, without petulance and wrangling, and with a due sense of the vast respon sibility which: attaches to so momentous a step. If an irreconcileable difference of views forbade us to be intimate friends, let us, at any rate, do nothing which might have a tendency to widen the breach to enmity. W should have made this appeal in all confidence that it would not be misunderstood, hoping that means might yet be found to avert the calamity with which we were threatened, and pro testing with all our power against the method which seemed to be adopted for the purpose of bringing it about. Happily, the appeal is now unnecessary. As we have already said, it has been anticipated by a second declaration in the Moniteur, which not only repudiates the Constitutionnel, but, what is of far greater importance, indicates a very different temper from that which the Monitenr itself had betrayed in the previous manifesto. Besides con tradicting the Constitutionnel it contradicts itself, and thus vindicates the line taken by us and our more respectable contemporaries. Besides disown ing altogether and in the strongest terms the in temperate language of the Constitution net, it speaks of. the English alliance no longer as in momentary peril, but securely resting on the good sense and good faith of the two countries. Of the difficulty itself which has created these discussions, and which the Moniteur states to be of a very minor import ance, we shall proceed to speak more at length. But before we do so we beg to congratulate the country on the very timely and emphatic declara tion made by Lord Palmerston at Manchester on Thursday. When a British Minister uses words like these he touches a chord which vibrates with applause in the heart of every true lover of his country. We are proud of a Statesman who can address a British audience with so much public spirit. The Premier's words receive additional import from the circumstance that the French Am bassador had just carried before to his master the assurance that our Government was not disposed to submit to any trifling in the matter, and that it would be seen by Lord Palmerston's reception at the populous cities of Manchester and Liverpool whether England and its Government were united or not. M. de Persigny is much too honest a man and too good a friend to his master and to the alliance not to do full justice to the intentions of the British Government and the feelings of the people. It is then, while the French Ambassador is for a day or two at his own Court that Lord Palmerston speaks :—" The duration of peace must depend upon the honour and fidelity with which its conditions are fulfilled. I trust that that Power which brought upon itself the hostility, either ac tive or moral, of all Europe by a forgetfulness of international rights and duties,—l trust that that Power, having concluded a treaty, will observe that treaty with faithfulness, and then, no doubt, peace will be of long duration." Memorable words—well weighed, and gravely uttered,—words honourable to the Minister who speaks them, and sure to be supported by the unanimous concur rence, and, if necessary, by the equally unanimous action, of the nation to which they are virtually addressed. Our position with regard to Russia is sharply and well defined. We have entered into a treaty with her in which, from a sincere desire for peace and amity, an d a strong consc iousness of our strength and her weakness ' we exacted the very least that i n j ust i ce to the cause for which we took up arms could be demanded. These conditions, so just and so reasonable, Russia has, from the very moment that the treaty was signed, sought every opportunity of evading, The period during which the Russian part of the treaty was to ho performed and has elapsed,she l is still wrangling about matters infinitely too pin to admit of dispute between parties actuated a by the slightest amount of good faith. She claims totsubstitute for the town of Bolgrad. a haml e t ° f the same name, the possession of whi c h would give her free access to the Danube, the very thing which it was one of the main objects of the treaty o w f Paris l anb to t prevent. This question she is willine to to in the meanwhile meeting of the Congress, but claims meanwhile that we should withdraw o rn u s r naval forces forces from the Black Sea, and Austria her land forces from the Principalities, thus leaving once more Turkey alone in the presence of the Power the end and aim of which are her destruc tion. Nothing can be simpler than our answer to such propositions. We do not trust Russia. We should be inexcusably weak if we relied blindly on the word of a Power " which has," as Lord P a l mers ton says, "forgotten international ri g ht s is now seeking to evade oblige and duties," and tions solemnly undertaken at a Congress of the Powers of Europe. Therefore we will not abandon Turkey in her hour of need, nor withdraw one ship from the Euxine while its presence is necessary to assert a cause for which we fought and con quered. Any real difficulty, any honest and houa fide dispute as to the meaning of the terms of the treaty of Paris, we can never object to refer to arbitration; but we will not refer it back to any tribunal in the world to decide whether Russiais to perform in the winter, when the Baltic is closed and the Crimea evacuated, conditions which she gladly accepted in the spring, with the prospect of a long land and naval campaign before her. If Russia means to observe the treaty let us hear no more of this paltry quibbling bebween Bolgrad the hamlet and Bolgrad the town. Let her withdraw her miserable f orce f rom t h e I s l e o f Serpents, and let her not dare to propose that even one of her ships shall pass from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea. If she meane, in spite of the treaty, to retain her communication with the Danube, the alternative is not an European congress, but an European war. "The duration of peace," as Lord Palmerston truly says, "depends on her ;"—let her decide. Neither she nor her hireling foreign friends will succeed in separating France and England. The two nations are still agreed, except upon a very minor point, and, united, we may Common foe. defy all the machi natieue o f the At the Victoria-park Cemetery, closely adjoining one of the most densely populated districts of Lond on , it i s reported that 130 bodies are interred every S un d ay .

Yesterday the ordinary weekly meeting of the board was held in the council-chamber, Guildhall, under the presidency of Mr. Thwaites. THE NEW STREET FROM LEICESTER SQUARE TO COVENT- GARDEN. The Clerk (Mr. Woolrych) read a communication from the office of the Chief Commissioner of Works, stating that Sir B. Hall approved of the plan submitted by the board for the construction of the abovenatned new street. This communication was ordered to be acknowledged by the clerk. GREENWICII DISTRICT ASSESSMENT. Mr. BuisrowE introduced a deputation from Green- wich, who presented a memorial on the subject of the financial statement, showing the condition of each of the parishes and districts of the metropolis, presented to the board on Oct. 3. The spokesman of the deputation, Mr. James, said that it appeared from the financial statement lately laid before the board, that a larger amount would be re• quirel to be raised from Greenwich district than from any other district of the metropolis, while there was nothing in the account which showed what were the items of the expenditure. The PRESIDENT interrupted the speaker by stating that 10,0001. had not long ago been paid by the board, of which 4,5001. was on account of Greenwich, 4,5001. for Lewisham, and 1,0001. for Richmond district. Mr. JAMES said he was aware that such was the case, but the deputation desired to be furnished with the par ticulars of the expenditure, and no means had been as yet supplied to them for doing so. The PRESIDENT remarked that the board had not themselves the means of ascertaining what amounts had been expended in particular parishes. (Hear.) Mr. JAMES said that the district board had no reason to believe that Greenwich had been improperly charged; still they were desirious of having particulars in order to enable them to arrive at some conclusion themselves. The PRESIDENT observed that no doubt the applica tion was a very reasonable one, and that the board had every disposition to give the deputation the fullest par ticulars—(near)--but he would remind the memorialqrs that the hoard had succeeded to a state of accounts of the most complicated character, which were not kept in re spect to parishes, but in respect of district-sewers' arrears. The board had some district returns in reference to Greenwich, of which the deputation could have copies. Mr. JAMES alluded to the trunk sewers that had been constructed in the Greenwich district, and said that the deputation did not think it fair that the inhabitants should bear the expense of constructing sewers for the upper districts. The PRESIDENT said it Wa3 not so. The returns would show the charges had been apportioned among the seve ral districts. 1h paeaurial was then received. Mr. BRISTOWE moved to the effect, that the documents referred to by the President be furnished to the memo rialists. Mr. LESLIE did not see the necessity of passing such a resolution when it was the undoubted right of every ratepayer to inspect the returns. Mr. Bristowe's motion was then agreed to. THE INTERCEPTING MAIN DRAINAGE PLAY. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that, before the neat item in the business paper was taken up, he thought it right that the board should have some communication from the President in reference to an interview that he had had with the Chief Commissioner of Works. He did not in tend to debate the matter to-day, or to make any remark upon the statements that had appeared upon the subject in the public papers. The PRESIDENT had not any lengthened statement to make in reference to the interview, beyond the fact that, in pursuance of the resolution of the board, he, accom panied by the clerk and engineer, had presented to the Chief Commissioner the plan for the intercepting drain age of London, as- also the plan for the new street in Covent-garden. He had no more to add at present. Mr. LESLIE asked whether there had been any altera tion in the plans taken up to Sir B. Hall after they had been agreed to? The PRESIDENT said it was quite impossible that thero could be any. Mr. LESLIE would persist in repeating his question. The PRESIDENT had no knowledge whatever of any such alteration. Mr. LESLIE would then ask Mr. Bazalgette (the chief engineer) ? Mr. BAZALGETTE distinctly affirmed that no alteration had taken place in the plan. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRISTOWE observed that these questions implied oth as involving the reputation of individua!a. Mr. LESLIE gave his reason fur putting the question. The hon. member entered into some details ' in reference to statements concurred in by Mr. Bazalgette, bearing on sewage and rainfall. Mr. LL. L. TAYLOR did not think these statements at all fair to the engineer. Mr. SAvA would like to know whether the accounts which appeared in the newspapers were correct ? The PRESIDENT thought that on second consideration the hon. member would feel that he would best consult the interests of the board not to press his inquiries fur ther now. With regard to the reports themselves, he could only Pay that they were not taken by him. Mr. Savadu was willing, under the circumstances, to allow his queries to drop. THE NEW STREET IN SOUTHWARK. A deputation from the Board of Works of St. Savi our's district attended and presented a copy of the fol lowing rt solution, which bad been adopted by that board in favour of the formation of a new street, viz : " That, in consequence of the great increase of the street traffic on the south side of the river Thames, owing to the various railway termini in the locality, and the fins mouse traffic upon the approaches to London-bridge, it is desirable that a new and suitable street should be formed without delay from east to west through the district to relive the traffic in the existing streets, and to afford better accommodation to persons going to and from the TA ions railways, and it is the opinion of this board that this object will be best attained by a new street com mencing as near as possible to the termini of the South- Eastern and South Coast Railways at London-bridge and terminating as nearly as practicable opposite to Stamford street, Blackfriars-road." The memorial was received. The clerk (Mr. Woolrych) then read the following report of the Committee of Works and Improvements : " Greek-street, Soho, Nov. 7. " Your committee beg to report that, in accordance with the instructions conveyed to this committee by the resolu tion of the board of the 13th of October last, to prepare a plan and estimate of a new line of street commencing, as nearly as practicable, opposite to the entrance of the South- Eastern Rail way and terminating in Blackfriars road, in a line with Stamford-street, they have under consideration the following plans of new lines of street in the locality re ferred to, with a comparative estimate of the cost of carry ing them out : " Plan 1, masked A A, showing a line of street, coloured blue, from Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, to High street at its junction with York-street, Borough, the esti mate for which is—for purchase of property, 660,237/. ; 10 per cent. for contingencies, 66,023/. ; 4,420 feet paving, &a., 11,0501.. together, 737,3001. Returns for property resold, &c., 195,585'.; Government grant, 9J,0001. ; mak ing total net cost 451,7151. Plan 88, showing a lino of street from Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, to Redcross street, Borough, the estimated outlay for which is 350,062/., and the return 152,9471., making the net cost 197,1151. The estimated cost of forming a straight junction with High street (near Red Lion-street) from Redcross-street is—out lay, 118,89 n ; return, 33,2951., making the net cost 80,5961. Add to this the net cost of street from Stamford-street to Redcross-street—viz., 197,1151., the sum will be 277,7111., from which deduct the Government grant of 90,0001., and the total net cost of plan B B, with the straight junction, will be 187,711/. The estimated cost of forming a curved junction with High-street (near York-street) from Red cross-street is,—outlay, 169,362/. ; return, 45,8061. ; add to which the net cost of street from Stamford-street to Redcross-street, 197,1151., making a total of 320,6711., from which deduct 9 ),0001. Goverument grant, leaves the total net cost of plan B B, with curved junction, 230,6711. Your committee, after fully considering these plans and estimates, and the nature and value -of the property which would be interfered with in carrying out either line, have resolved upon submitting for the approval of the board the line 88, with the straight junction, coloured yellow on the plan ; and they accordingly recom mend a new line of street, commencing in High-street, at its point of junction with Red Lion-street, proceeding thence to Redcross-street, at its intersection with Castle street, and terminating in Blackfriars'-road, opposite Stamford-street in the direction shown on the plan by the tinted yellow thereon. " Your committee have further to observe that they have given directions that the board should have before them the plan of the line of street leading from the Town-hall, Southwark, to the York-road, Lambeth, near to the South- Western Railway station, which was submitted to the beard on the Bth of August last, together with the estimate of the cost of carrying out the works : "The cost from-High-street, Southwark, to Southwark bridge-road is estimated at 294,0001. ; from Southwark bridge-road to Blackfriars-road, 218,419/. ; from Black. friars-road to Waterloo-road, 210, 1 9 31 . ; and from Water loo-road to York-road, Lambeth, 92,487/.—total, 895,1041. The return on account of these four portions is estimated at 631,7941., making the net cost 26 3,3101., from which de ' duct the Government grant of 90,0001., leaves 173,310/. as the ultimate net cost. " All which your committee beg to submit. " J. THWAITES. " THOMAS TURNER. " EDWARD COLLINSON." On the motion of Mr. Tarner the report was received. Mr. TURNER, acting as the spokesman of the Commit tee of Works and Improvements, moved that the follow ing recommendation, emanating from the committee, be adopted, namely ' "A new line of street, commencing in High - street, at its point of junction with Red Lion street, proceeding thence to Redcross-street, at its intersection with Castle-street, and termir sting in Blackfriars-road, opposite Stamford -street, in the direction shown on the there o p f or t t hi by p t l h a e n line anted ti s n e t t ed do y w el a le i w n thereon." pin accompanying The net cost the estimate at 384,8261. , and this plan same plan, with a deviation termed the "curved junction," often ' alluded to in the debate, was put down at 427,7861., being an increase of 42,9601. The committee had four plans be fore them, and they did not think that they were justified i n recommending an additional expenditure of 43,0001. for going 11 yards nearer London-bridge. As regarded the plan of Mr. Pennithorne which b a d been reported on by the superintending architect, it would involve at first an outlay of nearly double that of the plan recommended by the committee and lettered 88. This was deserving of some consideration. In his opinion the line would faci litate considerably the traffic at the river side, and, more over, it would be the most useful to the neighbourhood. Mr. COLLINSON seconded the motion. He was con vinced that the south side ratepayers were favourable to the plan recommended by the committee. Mr. IRVINE was desirous of putting the board in pos seszion of certain facts. He asked the committee whether they had before them detailed data to support the calcu lations, and, if they had, what means did they take to verify these calculations ? For his own part he pro. nouncea these calculations inaccurate and erroneous, and he staked his professional reputation as a surveyor upon the truth of these assertions. Ths ARCHITECT, in answer to questions from Mr. Wright, said that the width of the proposed new street was 70 feet, whilst the width of Hie -street at its point of junction with the projected street, f_'; an angle of 125 deg., was but 60 feet. Now, the point which the com mittee had recommended was not the nearest practicable point to London-bridge ; but by making the cu,ved line, for which an additional 43,0011. would be required, the new street would go into another 70 feet in width. The street proposed by the committee might not unfairly be entitled "a street for the blocking up of Wellington street, Southwark." It wag not enough to make a wide and good street; the approaches must likewise be good. Would the board spoil their first street for a caving simply of 10 per cent. on tho total outlay ; and this sav ing, let it be remembered, was the sole reason urged in support of the plan recommended by the committee, whilst weighty and numerous considerations should in duce them to adopt the curved line. He would therefore move as an amendment that. the plan recommended by the committee be adopted, with the variation of the curved junction with High-street (near York-street) from Redcross-street. Mr. SNOW seconded, and Mr. DREW supported, the amendment. Mr. Hows also spoke in favour of the amendment, which he said did not vary the line of street advocated by the committee, save in respect to the curve. This curve, however, would afford such advantages to public communication that he was quite prepared to vote the 43,000/. additional required for its construction accord ing to the estimate. Any advantage gained in bringing the new street nigher to the railway termini at London• bridge he thought should be measured almost by inches. (Hear.) Mr. DALTON having said a few words in favour of the amendment, Mr. WILKINSON addressed the board briefly in sup pert of the motion. He did not think the advantages to be gained would compensate for the additional outlay. Mr. D'IFFINGL's was willing to vote this sum of money for even a slight advantage in reference to the proximity of the new street to the London-bridge railways. 34,0001. was not worth considering in such a case. Mr. Deputy HARKIsoN asked the Court to reject the proposal of the committee as far as related to the straight junction with High-street (near Red Lion-street) from Red Cross-street. If they adopted this, what would be the consequence of having a 70 feet street opening into a6O feet one almost at right angles ? Now, the curved junction would afford such convenience for public traffic that its advantages would very soon be fully appreciated by the public. His only regret was that they were not at present in a position to commence the new street at the railways,ibut he was now convinced that there at present existed difficulties of a rather formidable nature in effecting this. He thought the new street, as sketched out in the amendment, would be a considerable public ' improvement. Mr. CoLLINSON strongly opposed the amendment. He would ask the gentlemen who proposed it to look care fully at the plans and see what would be the consequence if the board were to adopt their proposition for a cursed line of junction. To do so they would cut through the beat property;in High-street, and for what purpose ? Why, to leave behind a greater nuisance in Southwark both in point of appearance and convenience than they found there. (Hear.) However, he would not object to the sacrifice of the property, if the public interest was to be served ; but the fact was that the curved line would be highly disadvantageous to Southwark. If they passed this proposition for a curve he confessed that he knew nothing that could occur in after time that would remedy the evil that would be thus occasioned. Mr. DOULTON remarked that n great metropolitan improvement could be carried on w'thout causing incon venience in some quarter ; but nevertheless Southwark would be considerably benefited by bringing the com mencement of the new street as nigh as possible to Lon don-bridge. As representing a borough constituency (Lambeth) he gave his supper . ; to the amendment. Mr. BIDGOOD strenuously resisted the amendment, and expressed his concurrence in the line of street which . bad been surveyed by Mr. Pennithorne, and to which Itse Government were evidently favourable. They had heard, too, that the committee had not been altogether unanimous in recommending the plan proposed for adoption by the motion. Mr. TURNER having replied, The amendment was put and carried by 27 to 8, and thus became the original motion. Another amendment, proposed by Mr. Davis and seconded by Mr. Rdgood, to the effect that the plan re commended by the Government surveyor, Mr. Penni thorne, be adopted, was rejected by 25 to 8. The motion was then agreed to. A protracted discussion ensued as to the manner in which the plan thus agreed to would be communicated to the Chief Commissioner of Works. The debate, which was exceedingly animated, and somewhat personal and disorderly, was occasioned by the manner iu which the president and officers of the board were reported to have been received and " lectured " by Sir Benjamin Hall when presenting the plan for the main intercepting drein age some days back. Though the president did not make any official communication to the board (for reasons stated by him) relative to his reception by the Chief Commissioner, and even expressed his readiness to lay the present resolution of the board. before Sir B. Hall, the fact that the president was badly received was in dignantly commented upon by Mr. Wright, Mr. H. L. Taylor, and several other hon. members, who neverthe less reserved to themselves the right of still freer com ment when the matter came in a regular way before the board. Other hon. members, as Messrs. D'lffanger and Douiton, asserted that the Chief Commissioner was in capable of treating the president with any discourtesy, and refused to argue the affair further until the president made his report, which, for reasons which the board ap preciated, be was not inclined to do at present, unless the board unequivocally intimated its desire to that effect. Eventually, a resolution passed to the effect that the pre sident, clerk, engineer, and two other members should lay the plan for the new street before Sir B. Hall. Mr. H. L. Taylor then moved, that Messrs. D'lffanger and Nicholay (the representatives for Marylebone) be the two members accompanying the president. This proposition was received with laughter and cries of "No, no." How ever, Mr. Taylor persisted in his motion, and Mr. Nicholay declared he was ready to go, but suggested the undesirability of appointing the two representatives for Merylsbone t 3 wait upon the member for that constitu ency, and Mr. D'lffanger said that considered such a motion rather in the light of an insult than as a compli ment to himself and Mr. Nicholay. An extremely confused conversation resulted, and some of the members (as Mr. Wilkinson) declared that the whole proceedings of the last twenty minutes tended to make the board appear highly ridiculous in the eyes of the public, and must be stopped. Several gentlemen were then named, but declined the post, and ultimately a motion was carried, empowering the president to name the two members who were to accompany him. Mr. Wright (who had at first refused to go) and Mr. Harris were then nominated by the president, and the proceed ings of the day were brought to a close at five o'clock.

A pretty little married woman, named Bordier, and a young man, named Robiquet, were yesterday tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police for adultery. The husband of the woman, a small tradesman, stated that she was lazy, gluttonous, and full of all wan ner of vice, and that repeated thrashings had had no effect in reforming her. He therefore had separated from her, but had generously made over to her all the furniture they bad possessed. Shortly after their sepazatic n he learned that she had formed an adulterous connection with Robiquet, and he caused a commissary of police to obtain proof of their guilt. In her defence the woman said—" All he states is true ; but why did he leave me without money ? No husband ought to leave his wife without money. If I had had money I should not have gone to M. Robiquet." The male prisoner being called on for his defence said—" I au an c .--Zeuave, and have served in Africa and the Crimea. On being discharged I was obliged to do something to earn my living, and on the recommendation of a friend I applied for work to M. Bardier, who makes ladies' collars, and he took me into his service. The friend who recommended me said —' Take care, Robiquet, what you are about ; Bordier is old and ugly, his wife is young and pretty, and he is very jealous.' I resolved to act with prude ice. A few days after the wife told me that her husband beat her, and I remonstrated with him. A week later he again beat her, and in my presence, too ; this gave me so much pain that I wanted to leave, but he would not let me. I stayed, and I admit that I then fell in love with his wife. lam told that I did wrong— it may be so. But I came from Africa and the Crimea, and am a Zouave, and do not understand much about what ia right and what is wrong. Well, I fell in love with the woman, and after her tenaration from her husband we went. to live together. If that requires punishment, give tne fortnight's imprisonment, and make no more fuss about the matter !" The Tribunal sentenced the woman to two months' imprisonment, and the man to a fortnight of the same punishment and IV. fine. Spo: .ence. BETTING ATMANCLIESTER-FRIDAY.

The home fishery between Winterton and Lowestoft has not been so profitable. The prices vary from 111. to 151. per last. [AnvsarisamENT.]—Medicine always aggravates chronic dis eases, such as dyspepsia (indigestion), flatulency, habitual con stipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, &c., but Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabiea Food invariably cures them in a very short time. We extract two out of many thousand expressions of gratitude from invalids :—From the Dowager Countess of Castlestuart. Cure 52 ,612.—Rosstrevor, County of Down, Ireland, December 9, 1854. The Dowager Countess of Castlestuart feels induced, in the interest of suffering hu manity, to state that Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica, Food has cured her, after all medicines had failed, of indiges • tion, bile, great nervousness and irritability of many years' standing. This food deserves the confidence of all sufferers, and may be considered a real blessing. Inquiries will be cheerfully ans wered.—Trevagler, Gulval, near Penzance, Feb. 20, 1851.—Eighteen years' nervous debility, violent palpita tion of the heart, throbbing of the temples, violent pains on the left side and back, shortness of breath, cough, numbness of the extremities, cramps, spasms, flatulency, retching, and such general weakness, that 7 was consequently fearful of fall ing when on mylegs, all these symptoms have been removed by Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica Food. —MARY GELBERT.

LIVERPOOL—Nov. 7. The attendance ;t: our Corn Exchange this morning Was not so good as of late ; millers and dealers appear not to require to draw their supplies from us this week. A. con• cession of id to 2d per bushel on wheat, and 6d per sac and barrel on flour, was made by a few holders, but gen°' rally Tuesday's range of prices was maintained. Indiaa corn was firmly held ; the demand, however, to-day WA net of importance, and the value remains unaltered. Oats, oatmeal, barley, beans, and peas are unchanged in valuel and none of them in much demand. BRISTOL SUGAR—Nov. 7. The market has been quiet this week both for rum and manufactured produce, but former rates arefnlly supported. The supply offering continues very small, and the expected arrivals are but trifling. Rum is much wanted, but the stock under bond is now all in second hands. WAKEFIELD—Nov. 7. The wheat trade was dull, the better sorts being is to 211 lower, and inferior qualities being difficult to sell. Bit„I" ley was also Is lower. Beans unaltered.
