oPP.. — .t er / \~ 310.NEY XARK ET' AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK. A further increase of business is reported to•day in the general discount market. Bankers and brokers, although anxious for business, find their available supplies very much reduced by the ad ditional demand for commercial and agricultural purposes. The terms, out of doors, have, through all these circumstance, risen to the level of the Bank of Eogland, and a considerable increase is reported in the number of inquiries at that establishment. The effect of the various influences now at work is regarded as temporary, but they may, neverthe less, exert an influence, and make quotations frac tionally higher. The Elora, which leaves to-morrow for Bom bay, will convey -P132,020 in silver, and £7,500 in gold. A further sum of 4 '35,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday, but 100,000 sovereigns were Withdrawn for transmission to the Brazils. The Bank of Holland has reduced their rate of discount from 3f to 3 per cent. During the last few days there has been very little animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugar, however, has been in fair request at steady rates, For coffee there has been a mode rate inquiry, while tea, rice, and saltpetre have been neglected. In tallow the operations have been very limited, and prices for both present and future delivery have tended downwards. Two O'CLOCK. At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the Bank of Egypt, the report presented for the adoption of the shareholders recommended the payment of the usual dividend, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The net profits made during the six months enaing the 30th of June last, amounted to £13,895, including the balance brought forward from the last account. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 26c. Better. Very little change has taken place to-day in the market for the English Funds, but rather less buoyancy is apparent, and consols are 1-16 per cent. lower, the latest prices being 94 93 for money and 93 -1,- for the 9th proximo. The flitter tone may be attributed to the increasing firmness of the money market, and sales realise profits.

BOW-STREET.-THIS DAY. Mr. Alfred Styles, a gentlemanly young man, appeared to answer to a summons wh . ch had been issued against him on the representation of the Russian Government, charging him with endeavouring to procure the enlistment of several persons in England as soldiers to proceed to assist the Poles, now fighting in opposition to the Government of Russia. Mr. Poland said he appeared at the instance of tho Rus sian Government to charge the defendant with infringing the 59th of George 111., c. 69, sec. 2, which made it a misdemeanour punishable by fine or imprisonment at the discretion of the magistrate fur any person to endeavour to rake soldiers to fight against a foreign Power. The Russian Government had taken the matter in hand, although it was usual for the English Government to put the law in force on such occasions, but the former Government had instructed him to proceed against the defendant, because certain forms would have to be gone through which would occasion delay. Whether the English Government would eventually take up the matter he could not say. The defendant was Lieu tenant Styles, late of the Garibaldian army, and on the 22d of July last an advertisement appeared in one of the morn ing papers, stating that an engagement was open to several young men to proceed abrcad, and all applications wtre to be made to L. Z., 36, Seething-lane, City, The advertise ment was seen by a young man named Gregory, who went to the address and became acquainted with the whole pro ceeding. Lieutenant Styles had formerly been in the Garibaldian army, and be had also been in the Coldstream Guards, and as he was a person who was well adapted to carry into effect the project he had in view it was of im portance that he should be made to know that he was in• fringing the law in acting as he had done. John Gregory said—l am a schoolmaster, residing at 15, Lambeth-square. On the 22d of July I was out of em ployment, and about that date I saw an advertisement in the Telegraph. I wrote a letter (produced), and proceeded with it to No. 36, Seething-lane, Great Tower-street, where I left it. On the following Monday, the 27th, I received the circular (produced) by post, and a descriptive roll for volunteers. I went to the address ruentioned in the circular, 10, Buckingham-street, Strand, taking with:me_the circular and the descriptive form. It was about half-past 10 in the morning when I arrived. There were some names on the door -posts, and the place lookei like offices. Mr. Styles's name was amongst those on the door. I knocked at Mr. Styles's office door, when the defendant came out. I asked him if he was Lieutenant Styles, to which he replied, "Yes, I am." I informed him I lu.d called in answer :o the letter be had addressed to me. He replied, "Come re" I then took the letter I had in the first instance received out of my pocket, and placed it on the table, and said I should like to know some particulars about the affair. There were curtains up in the office, and, having proceeded inside these curtains, we had a conversa tion. As near as I can recollect it was as follows :—Lieut Styles said, "We are determined to go out as soon as we can. We have now over 250 men, and we wish to get about 50 or 60 more. They will be commanded by first-rate generals, who have seen active service in Italy." He men. tioned the name of Col. Forbes and, I think, Gen. Madam, or some such name, as being two of them. I asked him what authority he had for raising the regiment, to which he re plied he had at last received a communication from a Polish General in London, and that he was going at the end of the week to see the Polish General in Paris. I asked him why the Poles did not fight themselves. lie said they could not afford to fight better than the English at present, as they were only trying to harrass the Russians as much as they could whilst they were collecting an army. I also asked him whether there were any substantial men in England in connection with him, to which ho replied " Yes, there are." I think, just at this time, two other young men came in, and he went over portions of the conversation again. They did not come inside the curtain, so I could not see whether they had with them circulars. I heard one of the young men say he was a corporal in one of the Artillery Volunteer Corps in London, and he would wish to take the same rank in Lieutenant Styles's regiment. Lieutenant Styles told him he could not promise that rank, although it would be very likely he would obtain it, as a great many of those who would join would be unacquainted with drill. The corporal asked what the pay would be, and the answer was the same as that in the Polish army. He further asked what other conditions were attached to the service, to which Lieut. Styles replied the National Government would defray all expenses, as they had plenty of money. Lieutenant Styles told them that during the time he was in Italy he did very well, although he had two very great drawbacks. One was, that he went there very late, and the other, that he was a prisoner fer eight months. The young man asked how that was, and he said the vessel in which he, with 800 more, was taken by the Government. lie next asked how he liked the imprisonment, to which he re plied, " Not at all; but it might have been worse." I then asked—" Supposing the Polish insurrection was unsuccess ful, what would become of the Englishmen who might go out." He said, "If it came to the worst, the British con sul would take care to send them home; but he thought the gentlemen in England would take care that it would not come to that. If they were successful they would have a great deal of piize money beside pay, and also have the advantage of seeing a great part of Europe." Styles told the corporal ho hoped he would join, because he would be a great addition, He said the volunteers would sail in about nine days or a fortnight, but ho would know more about it when he returned from Paris. He was asked where the vessel was to start from. Styles said he thought it would be hardly fair to tell that, as the Russian Ambassador might find it out, and he (St. ) les) might be served as he had been served before. The National Government of Poland, he said would charter a vessel as soon as the regiment was ready to start and defray all expenses. The volunteers would be drilled on board the ship. I don't recollect any thing further excepting the corporal asked for a few more of the printed circulars, as he knew several young men in his corps who had expressed a wish to join. He gave him three or four, and told him to let him know whether he would join and bring the others with him. The two young men were complete strangers to me, I filled up one of the blank forms produced, although I had expressed some doubt about the affair. Lieutenant Styles told me to call on him after he returned from Paris, and he would state more to me; ho hoped I would make up my mind to join. I afterwards assisted to put some of the printed forms into envelopes, and he asked me to put them in the Post -office, I should think I posted about 80 of them. I was cautioned not to show the letters. As soon as I got home I communicated with the Russian ambassador. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the defendant—About two years ago I ceased to be a school master. I discharged myself. There had been no com plaint against me. Both the schools were in South Wales. I consider I have a right to describe myself as a clerk, as I had about 12 months ago fulfilled that office. It was to a man named Cordner. He went away with my money. I nave been kept by my friends for the last 12 months. During that time I have lived at Brixton. No one is at present in Court who can confirm in any particular the conversation I had with Lieutenant Styles. My interview with defendant lasted about half an hour. I got an answer to every que9- tion I put, but he seeemed to hesitate, as I thought. He mane no secret as to the object of the advertisement. Before I went to Lieutenant Styles 1 was aware of what I was about to do. namely to write to the Russian Ambassador. I made up my mind to write the Russian authorities as soon I got the first cir cular, and I went to the defendant's place to learn as much as I could about the scheme befor e I did so. The advertise ments cei tainly did not give any information about assist ing the Poles; but wh en I received' the circular I became acquainted with the V ane . On Monday the 27th I went to Styles, and on the 29 th I rece i ved an answer to my communi cation from the Russian ambassador. 1 have not received any reward for what I have done, neither have I received any promise. Ite-examined—Mr. Talbot, M.P., can speak to my re spectability. The reason I have not b een engaged in acive employment for the last 12 months is because fur the greater portion of that time I have been a patient in the Consump tion Hospital. Mr. Lewis—And yet you enter yourself on the descrip tion roll as of sound constitution. Frederick Harvey, of 50, Qocen's-street, Pimlico, said— On the 21i h of July I saw the advertisement in the Tei. , - graph. I sent an answer, and directed it 36, Seethin g -l am ; Great Tower-street. I enclosed the recommend at i on (pro duced) relative to my character. The next day I receivecl the note (produced) with the enclosed descriptive roil on the 25th. I thought the matter over on the Sunday, and after that I wrote to the Russian ambassador, and after that I saw on the 30th of July the Russian consul, anti also the solicitor acting for the Government. After some further evidence, the cps::: was adjourned. Lady Victoria Wellesley and the Misses Tylney Long Lave returned to BolucT Ludge, Sussex, from attend ing. the turwral of the J tel of Morning - ton, at D:aycot, Wilts, THE MEXICAN QUESTION. The following circular letter, addressed by tho Secretary of State to the several American Lega tions abroad, acquires new interest from events now transpiring : " - Washington, March 3, 1862. "Sir —We observe indications of a growing im • pression in Europe that the demonstration made by the Spanish, French, and British forces against Mexico is likely to provoke a revolution in that country which shall bring about the introduction of a Monarchical Government, and the assumption of the crown by a foreign Prince. Our country is deeply interested in the peace of the world, and ' desires to preserve loyal relations as well with the Allies as with Mexico. The President has, there lore, directed me to submit to the parties interested his views on the new aspect of affairs. " The President has relied upon the assurance given his Government by the Allies that they were in pursuit of no political object, but simply the redress of their grievances. He entertains no doubt of the sincerity of the Allies; and it his confidence in their good faith had been disturbed, it would be restored by the frank explanations given by them that the Governments of Spain, France, and Great Britain have no intention of interfering to procure a change in the constitutional form of government now existing in Mexico, or any political change which should be in opposition to the will of the Mexican people. In short, he has cause to believe that the Allies are unanimous in declaring that re volutio❑ proposed to Mexico is solely prompted by certain Mexican citizens who are now in France. " Nevertheless, the President regards it as his duty to express to the Allies, in all kindness and candour, that a monarchical government established in Mexico, in the presence of foreign fleets and as mien, occupying the waters and the soil of Mexico, has no promise of security or permanence; in the second place, that the instability of such a monarchy would be enhanced if the throne were assigned to a person alien to Mexicl; that in these circumstances the new Govern ment would instantly fall unless sustained by European alliances, which, under the influence of the first invasion, would be practically the beginning of a permanent policy of armed in tervention by monarchical Europe, at once inju rious and inimical to the system of government ge nerally adopted by the American continent. " These views are based upon some knowledge of the opinions and political habits of American so ciety. There can be no doubt that in this matter the permanent interests and the sympathies of our country would be on the side of the other American republics. I "We must not be understood as predicting on this occasion the course of events which may ensue, both in America and in Europe, from the steps which are contemplated. It is enough to say that in the emancipation of the A op m in e i r o i n ca o n f c t o h n e ti P n r e e n s t id f e r n om t t t h h e e control of Europe has been the principal characteristic of the past halt century. It is not probable that a revolution in the opposite direction can succeed in the age which im mediately follows this period, and while the popu lation of America increases so rapidly, while its re sources develope in the same proportion, and while society forms itself uniformly according to the prin ciples of the American Democratic Government. "It is unnecessary to indicate to the allies how improbable it is that the nations of Europe would accept cheerfully a policy favourable to a similar counter-revolution, thus incompatible with their own proper interests. Nor is it necessary to point out that, notwithstanding the care of the Allies to avoid aiding, by means of their land and maritime forces, the internal revolutions of Mexico, the result would be none the less due to the presence of their forces in the country, however different the object they may have proposed; for without their presence it may be considered as certain that such revolutions would probably not have been attempted or even conceived. "The Senate of the United States has certainly not accorded its official sanction to the precise measures proposed by the President, to lend our aid to the actual Mexican Government, in order that the latter might, with the approbation of the Allies, extricate itself from its present embarrassments; but this is strictly a question of internal administration. There could be no greater Error than to see in this disagreement a divergence of opinion in our Go vernment, or in the American people, in regard to their cordial wishes for the safety, welfare, an d stability of the Republican Government in that country,--Z am your obedient servant, " W. H. SEWARD." (From the New York, TVorld.) Row the establishment of the Mexican Empire will affect the future polities of this continent, and especially what will be its immediate bearing on our national struggle, are topics of speculation which have a far deeper than specula tive interest. Like all great and pregnant events, it needs to be surveyed on several sides to take in its full import ance ; but just now its relation to the Southern rebellion is the aspect which most nearly concerns uF, Our complete recovery of the Mississippi river by the capture of Vicks burg, which is the most important step thus far made in the war, seemed, for the moment, to clip the wings of Southern ambition, and to render it certain that even though the South should ultimately gain its independence, it would be a small Power, with a great, growing, and overshadowing Power for ins neighbour and natural antagonist, and with out any materials on this continent fcr constructing a ba la, co like that which gives security to the weaker Powers of Europe. llad the South been able to hold the Mississippi she would, i n t h e event of her independence, control the best routes for th e P ac i f i c Railroad, and might aspire to domi nion over all o ur possessions on the Pacific Coast. In that cgs© the South wou l d become a neat, haughty; arrogant Power, with who m we should probably never have ten years of consecuti ve peace. But when we had wrested the Mississippi from h er grasp, we apparently took a guarantee that, even if we f a il e d to restore the Union, our preponde rance on this continent would continue so great that the South would have every interest to cultivate with us pacific relations. This satisfactory view is very essentially modified by the proceeding which has made Mexico an appanage of the French Empire. Nominally, France will merely exercise a protectorate and Mexico will govern itself; but nobody will be deceived by so transparent a mask. The Mexican Empire is set up by a French army ; French bayonets alone can give it stability; whoever may be the monarch, he will be the creature of Louis Napoleon. The crafty French po tentate will, of course, give the new Government a drapery of Mexican nationality, just as, ten years ago, he attempted to reconcile Republican France to despotism by the sham of universal suffrage. But, he will be as absolutely the ruler of Mexico as he is of France itself. Mexico, under this regime, instead of being as heretofore a weak Power, for midable to no other, will be one of the strongest on this continent. French enterprise and a steady Government will develope her magnificent natural resources; mobile poli tically Mexico will be France. French diplomacy will con trol het external relations ; French arms will back up all her national quarrels. This French_Mexican Empire will be the natural ally of the Southern Confederacy for various reasons. In the first place, France assumes an attitude of contempt and hostility toward the United States in the very act of planting a monarchy on this continent. It is the verb case originally in the contemplation of the lltnroe declara tion, which grew out of apprehensions that the so-called Holy Alliance intended to subvert the recently formed Spanish-American Republics, and force the monarchical system on this continent. This declaration has been once and again repeated in Presidential messages since Mr, Monroe's time, and the prominence whi c h has been accorded to it in political discussions makes it as well known as part of the policy of the United States as an y t hing connected with our history. Napoleon is not ignorant of a matter of such no toriety ; he understands perfectly well that if the United States were the nation they were three years ago they would compel him to undo his recent work. Another circumstance which will make him the natural ally of the South is that the contraction of the Confederate b oundaries, made ne cessary by the fall of Vicksburg, must relieve him from any apprehensions of Southern interference, and make it his policy to erect, on this continent, a strong counterpoise to the United States. It the North and th e South teemed to hits likely to become two equally great nations, it would he his p;..licy to play them off against each other, and be a make-weight against them. But, with nothi ng to appre la,nd from one, and much to apprehend from the other, he will not hesitate to determine in favour of an alliance with the weaker. Such an alliance probably does not yet exist in form ; but that it already exists in Filbt ance, or that there is an understanding between the Emperor and the rebel envoy Slidell, th ere i s good reason to believe. An un d erstanding of this sor t, w h et h er i n f ac t o r in Trospect, b o d es no good to us. The danger was never o bleat as now that we must encounter other arms than those of the South before this contest is closed. If France were the only nation of Europe, Napoleon on this continent didor if th e o bj ects pursued by not conflict with the interests or stir the entry of other European States, the prospect might be more appalling than we can now regard it. This new development of Vrench arAbiticli i 6 calGAlated t? alztrw all Eurqc... it is 4 3-tala. tom that France is aiming to rival England in the prestige end influence of foreign dependencies. France cannot hope to recover her old colonial possessions in North America, which extended in a continuous belt from the mouth of the St. Lawience to the mouth of the Mississippi ; but she may attempt what, if successful,would add nearly as much toner weight and consideration. She will naturally aim to extend her dominion in Mexico southwards, until it covers Central America and the Isthmus, one of the fairest regions of the globe, and embracing cne of the finest natural seats of cons merc3. A canal across the Isthmus is not too difficult for the resources of modern engineering ; and if Franca held such a gateway, she could lay under tribute the commerce of Asia and Europe, as well as that of the American States on the North and South Pacific. Russia would not gain so much by the posse , sion of the Bosphorus as would France by acquiring the Isthmus. There is no State in Europe whose independence might not be endangered by so great an accession to the power of a monarchy whicb,without the vast territorial expansion of Russia or Britain, already over tops either of them in influence. It Louis Napoleon pro ceeds in the career of territorial ambition on which he has now entered, the jealousies of other European States ought to give us allies iu the war which now seems all but inevitable. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COMMITTAL OF A SYSTEMATIC ROBBER OF LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—John Dean, described as a shoemaker, of Devonshire-street, Lisson-grove, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following robbery : Wm. Boden, messenger at the Marlboroup,l-street Police • court, said that on the previous afternoon he was in Park street, Park-lane, when the prisoner, who was au old " friend" of his (the witness was formerly a sergeant in the D division), passed him. Knowing the prisoner's character, and suspecting that he had some stolen property about him, he followed him to Windham-place, Montague-square, and then said to him, " Well, Jack, what have you got about you?" at the same time telling him that he intended to have him searched. He then took the prisoner to the police-station in John-street, Edgware-road, and a pewter measure belonging to Mr. Brown, of the Blue Posts, Old Bond-street, was found in each of his coat pockets, another in his trowsers' pocket, and a fourth in his hat. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Boden said the whole of the measares belonged to Mr. Brown, and that the prisoner had been convicted several times for pot-stealing, the last time receiving twelve months' imprisonmentin April, 1862. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. SPORTING NOTES. The Brighton Meeting, following so closely on the heels of Goodwood, is always certain to attract a large attend ance. The fatal accident which happened to crew is much to be lamented; and I am only doing justice to the young man to Kate that the sympathy felt for him was no more than he deserved, for he was a good horseman, and by no means tainted with the follies and faults which render so many of his companions absurd in the eyes of all well thinking persons, who like to see a servant keep his place. The sport, which, if not exciting during the three days, was at all events amusing, suggests very few comments. Over and again has the Good wood Stakes foreshadowed the result of the Brighton Handicap, and again we may be said to have had another illustration of the fact, for although Blackdown was beaten by the shortest of heads, Magnum Bonum ran so forward in that race that he might have been third, could any corresponding benefit have accrued from it. The Nursery field here is always a large one, and the ring viewed with satisfaction the well filled telegraph of names that went up, as it promised them a good return for their exertions. Nor were their hopes deceived, as all the money laid out on the favourite was secured by them owing to the success of Madame Walton, a daughter of old Fisherman, who, being trained by a countrymen like Golby, was never thought of by the talent; they went to the swell stables for their fancies, and paid hand somely for their error. The position of Junius showed there were some grounds for backing him at Goodwood ; and by the Clown getting third, the quality of Paris was fully made out. In the Three-year-old Biennial, the defeat of the Gunner by Avondale was an unwelcome surprise, for when the distance is considered, it looked any odds on the former, but perhaps he is too leggy to run over an up-and .down course like Brighton. On Wednesday, Fairwater, stale from her previous work, could not compete with Tippler. The Cup, although a loss to the company, from being walked over for by Caller Ou, was in reality a gain to the fund, as half the added money was saved. There are five meetings this week,—viz., 'Wolverhampton, Newton Abbott, Reading, Wenlock, and Paisley. The Wolverhampton Stakes has a good acceptance, but I do not believe that more than a dozes will reach the post. Balham, after his severe race last week, will likely be an absentee. Oldminster is a certain starter, and if he would only take it into his head to "try," he ought to be near winning. Magnum Bonum is penalised 101 b for winning the Brighton Stakes, which raises his weight to 7st 71b, making him give Jack o' Hearts 211 b, or 101 b more than he gave him for the Goodwood Stakes, which will preclude him from winning also. Suburban won the Great Warwickshire Handicap with 21b more on his back than what he has to carry here. The distance being the same he ought be kept on the right side. Jack o' Hearts, if in his Goodwood form, when he ran third to his stable companion Blackdown, ought to win. Tourist is a glutton at a distance, as he showed himself at the Curragh Meeting, where he carried off three Queen's Plates in the commonest of canters. The judge, I expect will place them in the following order : JACK 0' HEARTS 1 TOURIST SUBURBAN 3 The Reading Stakes I expect to see Blackdown or Gavazzi will. A FRESH MAN. TAT TERSALL'S-MONDAY.

A CURIOUS ACClDENT.—RecountedinLord Stanley of Alderley's late Post-office Report, as having befallen one of the pillar letter-boxes at Montrose :—" The street gas pipes having been opened for the purpose of examination and repair, an escape took place, and some of the gas fund its way into the letter-box. The night watchman, to light his pipe, struck a match on the top of the box, when a violent explosion took place, forcing out the door, and doing other damage, but fortunately causing no injury either to the watchman or the letters.' ALEXANDRE DUMAS FILS !—L'Enfant Prodtgue Literraire ! —Rumour is full of news just now on the subject of young Dumas and his new comedy, " L'Ami des Femmes." They say he is going to take the world by surprise, that the witty author has turned over a new leaf, and that, far from following in the wake of "La Dame aux Camelias" and "Le Demi-Monde," his new system of cha racter will be confined to the most strait-laced and punctilious morality. He is going to pay society his aniende honorable. The hero of his piece is a most virtuous philoapher, as amiable and fascinating as Aleibiades„but who employs all his attractions, not to delude and injure, but to fortify and protect all the pretty women he finds in his way. We have seen young Rochester seueral times under the table, says the Court Journal in announcing this transformation, now we are going to see him in the pulpit. A WORKING MAN'S HOLIDAY—as described in the Saturday Review.—The only notion of working men bent on an excursion, and left to themselves, is to get as far away from home as possible, and to travel as great a distance as they can fora little money. They heap them selves together in the stifling atmosphere of a cheap train, and spend three parts of day on the railroad, half choked with dust and smoke, only to find themselves more wearied on their return than they would have been if they had kept to their usual employment. At the distance of a dozen miles they might find pure air, pleasant scenery, and peace. They prefer going a couple of hundred for the sake of sitting before the sea, jaded and worn out for about half an hour. The mechanic is, in fact, an object calling forth the compassion of every feeling man when he is thus fagging, pale and exhausted, in the pursuit of pleasure. When he is followed by a tired wife, and children hardly able to drag themselves along--a common spectacle near London on a Sunday night in summer—it is;impossible to avoid wishing that some kind soul would give him a lesson or two in the art of making good use of his le sure hours. Ho is no manager of his own time, so rarely is he called upon to use it for his own purposes. He is so accustomed to • routine that the absence of it half confuses him, And hence he is generally vary well satisfied if he reaches home very much exhausted, and feels the effect of his holiday for the next two or three days.

SLADS, BART., Q.C.—WELLS, Aug. 10.—A heavy gloom has been thrown over the Western Ci rcu it i n con sequence of a special messenger having arr i ve d i n t hi s c i t y yesterday morning with intelli gence that Sir F. Slade had died in his bed. The learned counsel had conducted a case in the Nisi Prius Court here or. Friday with his usual vigour and ability, and apparently in robust health. Having concluded his day's work, ho retired to his country seat at Maunsel, near Bridgewater; in the even i n g he complained of fatigue, and on Saturday morning he called in a medical friend, but there was not much the matter. He went to bed rather early on Saturday night, and about 11 o'clock Lady Slade, who was by his side, discovered that he had ceased to exist. As far as we have at present heard, his death was caused by apoplexy. Sir Frederick had been on the Western Circuit between 80 and 40 years. He went through the usual gradations of the profession, and became a most successful defender of prisoners. As time rolled on he emerged from the criminal into the civil court, and then was called within the bar as a Q.C. His peculiar style was that of great honesty and openness, ac• companied by great humour, which soon gained him a con siderable practice. He was a most zealous and untiring advocate, and greatly incensed when he discovered any• thing dishonest or disreputable, and sparing not the highest in his remarks in the discharge of his duties. liis sincerity, good nature, and jocularity had gained for him the love and regard of his compeers, and no man stood higher at the Bar in the esteem and respect of those who occupied the bench, many of whom had in their time laboured with him. His career has now ended, but his memory will be held in kind remembrance by every man who knew him. The de• ceased baronet was 60 years of age, and leaves a numerous family to lament his loss, all of whom, with the exception of Lady Slade and his youn g est son, were absent, hi s eldest son, Captain Frederick Slade, on whom the title de. volves, arrived just too late to see his lamented father, DRURY LANE TLIEATRE.—This house will open for the season on the 12th of next month, when a new comedy by Mr. Falconer, entitled " Nature's above Art," will be produced.
