The question of American slavery is a very difficult one to deal with, and the truest friends of the Abolition cause will not shrink from admitting such to be the fact. As regards the actual matter of slavery itself, the professed right of one man to call another part of his goods and chattels, and to treat him in any way he thinks proper, there can scarcely bs two opinions among unprtjudiced and impartial men. lie must be a bold man, as well as a singular one, who dare openly assert his sym pathy with slavery, his conviction of the master's right over the life and . limbs, and more, the very heart and feelings of his wretched slave. Perhaps no feeling is stronger or more unanimous in all classes of Englishmen than a detestation of slavery in all its forms and branches, and no sophistry as to the indiffirence of the negro to a state of servitude. The care and kindness of his owner, or the unfits MSS of the slave to provide for his own wants and necessities, can avail to confuse the national notions of right and wrong upon this point. The presence of slavery in the American Union has hoer. the great drawback to our sympathy and good wishes for the success of our noble kindred State, and the old feeling against slave-owners turned the sentiments of England at first completely against the Southern cause. It is therefore no indifference on this great and vital question that has now coins p'etely reversed the case, and made the great body of the English public watch with apprehension the coming election lest President LINCOLN may secure another tenure of office. When he was first called to his present high position very general satisfaction 1798 felt in this country, for it was thought to be a I !'ltCpb of abolition pricciples, and many supposed flle thin end of the wedge was actually introduced. je,e ..3 !-Ind has long since discovered, whatever Ame r-,, I ma y ha 7n done, the depth and sincerity of A nnArrAm LINC ,LN's sympathy for the negro, and no bombastic declamation nor empty boasts can b ice' her to the real object of the war. By the decrees of that inscrutable Providence, whi c h wor k s good out of evil, we may, indeed, hope that the fetters of the negro have been loosened by the Con- vulsions of the States, that the beginning of the final end and overthrow of slavery has been wit• nessed in this war. It would be sad, indeed, were a nation to pass through such a fearful ordeal with out obtaining some great and lasting good. Melancholy as it is to reflect upon the loss of life, the wounds, the sufferings of body and mind which have been endured in this war, the brave men slaughtered, and maimed, and fever stricken, the ruined and desolated homes, the ravaged and wasted fields which are now to be seen where a few years back all was peace and plenty. The spectacle would be still more appalling if we res garded it as utterly profitless. Doubtless great ends will be worked out ur c msciously by the workers, and the tide of bloodshed and pillage now rolling over the once fair and fertile States will sweep away much that disfigured as well as that adorned them. The evil so tenaciously cherished must be surrendered at last, but its abandonment will have been rendered needlessly painful. Emancipation is a work of too great and complex a character to be fairly done in the midst of war and tumult. It needed the calm deliberation, the grave attention of earnest and experienced men, of those who know well the negro and his capacities. A sudden and vio lent enfranchisement of all ages and classes of negroes is a very questionable boon, and their enforced enlistment in the Federal ranks is still less beneficial. Before their claim on their old masters was abandoned a proper provision should have been made by the state of work for the able-bodied, of instruction and training for the young, of maintenance for the sick and aged. A mere stroke of the pen declaring so many millions of men free at a word provided for none of these requirements, and too late the miserable African finds that he erred in trusting to Northern help and promises. The work, if it was to be done compre• hensively, should have been done gradually. The slaves should have been prepared for freedom by a gradual system of emancipation, such as making it incumbent on them to continue in their master's service for a term of years at a certain rate of payment. Their bonds should have been gradually lightened, ,till the limbs so long manacled had time to regain their free use— not have been snatched off with an abruptness that made the very burden a loss. Emancipation was emphatically a work for peace, and it demanded of itself all the mind and sympathy of the nation ; but alas! the one is as much wanting as the other in the loud, boasting North. The negro is looked upon askance, is shrunk from and avoided—and however raady the professions of equality and hu manity, the active manifestation of any such senti ments is very much at fault. The negroes have been great sufferers in this war, although their misfortunes are less thought of, less talked of, and less cared for, than those of their white brethren. Whether dying in handfuls under the Southern guns—for negro regiments are generally put in the exposed positions —or wandering houseless and starving about the Northern streets, or falling victims to the popular frenzy in New York, the slave race has as yet little cause to thank the great civil war. Under these circumstances, the existence of charitable as sociations for the purpose of assisting and relieving these unhappy beings in their pressing necessities is a very fortunate thing. No one can blame a slave for claiming his freedom if possible, although such an act may throw him houseless and friendless on the world. Societies have been formed for his sacs tour under such circumstances; and at a meeting of one of these, Mr FORSTER, M.P., presided at Bradford the other day. The hon. gentleman, in advocating the claims of the association, addressed his audience at some length on the question of slavery, although from a point of view quite opposite from that from which we have been regarding it. He spoke of the sufferings of the negro under the great change as an inevitable necessity, to be deplored and to be relieved, but not to be avoided. He assumed to this country part of the responsibility, saying we had consistently held up the value of freedom before the eyes of the Americans, and had in a great measure been in strumental in stirring up a feeling in favour of abolition. From this responsibility no English. man would wish to shrink ; but emancipation was never proposed by this country to be carried out by fire and sword. Abhorrent as is slavery, as an institution, in the eyes of Englishmen, they have always had the good sense and justice to see that a nation which had long tolerated and tacitly en couraged such a traffic, cannot at once fling off the charge of it. Iniquitous as the slaveowner'e profits may appear to Abolitionists to be, he has a right to (Emend that they shall not be annihi lated by a stroke of the pen by the very form of Government which not only tolerated but en• couraged them. He has a right in such a case to demand compensation for his loss, and such com pensation England, in the midst of her abolition enthusiasm, felt he had a right to have. The States, had they been so minded, might have made the same bargain with their alaveowners at a much less cost than the interest of the national debt which they will owe to the war. But, despite Mr FoRSTER, the war was not undertaken for the negro. It is a struggle for the supremacy; abolition may be the cry for the North when opportunity serves, but the negro, emancipated or enslaved, is very little heeded, Men who show themselves so regardless of the feel• ings of common humanity in their dealings with white countrymen in the South, are not very likely to be sincere in their professions of tenderness and affection for a race they habitually avoid, dislike, and despise. Lord MALMESBURY is not a frequent speaker, but what he says is generally to the point, and his re. marks on Tuesday evening were no exception to the rule. The noble lord discoursed on various topics of more or less interest, some of which bore on public questions and foreign affairs. In treat ing of the Army and Navy, he observed that it was to be regretted the system of concentrating the army, instead of as in past times, distributing it over the country. This is in 'a great measure truer enough, as the county towns must feel the difforence, while the advantages that are derived from the camp fashion are not so 'proportionately great as to counterbalance all other considerations. In France, as the noble lord explained, nearly the whole of the money spent in the army is spent in France itself; but our colonies absorb a great part of our army, and hence, with one thing and another, the heavy sums that are required for the support and maintenance of our troops do not return to the people in this new mode of conducting matters. 'This is worthy of consideration, if only in an economical point of view, because from one pretext or another there has been of late a great willingness in some quarters to cut down the numbers of the army below the mark which safety and propriety would permit. Re specting the Navy the . noble lord did not hesitate to affirm that care is requisite to rehabilitate its posi tion. It is a change of days from when every public speaker was content to mention the theme in terms of praise and high esteem, and rely upon the hearts of oak to carry the frig of England in triumph round the world. Now, when the flag is mentioned, grave doubts are auggeated and sup, oeitioos inter- posed lest this or that circumstance should affect its efficiency or mar its progress. Disheartening as this may be, it is perhaps the wisest course to adopt, and discretion may thus lead the way which valour pursues to victory. There is no use in mak ing too sure or being foolhardy. Lord PALMER. STON very truly stated that a great change had taken place in all affairs of the Navy, and this country has lost the start she had, and all have had to veer round and take a fresh course. Without entering into details, it may safely be affirmed that the truest and soundest policy is that here advocated. "Whoever may be at the head of affairs, I hope they will always consider the maritime power of this country as paramount to es erything else, although for some time to come it will not prove a perfect guarantee for our safety." If this idea is entertained by statesmen, it will be their surest safeguard, and in the end the want of se' curity will be their prelude to success if they use and not abuse their opportunity. In discoursing upon agriculture Lord MALMESBURY took a wide view of his requirements, and appro priately observed that it was very difficult to sepas rate politics from agriculture, however people may try to do so, and discuss the propriety and desks ability of the separation takitg place. Looking at the subject under this aspect it assumes a weightier degree of importance, and people who are prone to think that farmers have no minds beyond their fields, may consider that the very fact of the pros perity of those fields obliges them to take a more comprehensive view of matters than at first sight might appear necessary or probable. The sowing of wheat or turnips is not more essential to the consideration of the farmer than the state of the politics of the day, and, as Lord MALMESBURY said, beyond that the politics of Europe are con nected with his best interests and engage his hopes and fears. Thus, for instance, he is affected by peace or war, in a manner, as much as any one in the land, and the topics which bear upon the one or treat of the other may therefore surely engage his attention and awaken his interests. Lord MALMESBURY did not content himself with uttering the platitudes which so often are deemed necessary at such meetings, but he went on to philosophise, to speculate, and to define to what extent the duties of his hearers might be enlarged, and how wide a scope they might have for their energies in time to come. He said that the farmers must be sensible of the great increase of foreign wheat which is now imported, and that, while our forefathers called it "submitting" to importation, we must be thankful for it, because we do not grow enough wheat for our own subjects. It was very wise of the noble lord thus to speak out boldly, because it put a stop to ignorant assertions and absurd sup positions as to what might be expected, and what what was likely to happen from the changes that time inevitably brings about. Those who occupy exalted positions in society, and are enabled from circuirstances to gather extensive knowledge on various topics, are often themselves and others, whenever they can, found to supply the details and descriptions which they have gleaned in their expe riences and researches. Thus the noble lord in formed his hearers that he was persuaded, from his opportunities of information, that at " Chicago, in America, if even now the war ceased, railroads and canals would be made which would enable any quantity of wheat, at least whatever quantity was required, and was remunerative to send to th,s country, to be imported." This is exactly the sort of subject to start at a meeting of this sort, not to be content with busi ness that would have done as well ten years back, and would do equally well ten years hence, but to go on with the spirit of the age, and the intel ligence of the country, to lead men to understand the requirements of the land, and make themselves useful in their generation, by availing themselves of the means which Providence has placed within their reach, of adapting themselves to the neces sities of the occasion, and of employing their ener gies in the services that are required, A standstill course will not do for the farmer any more than for the mechanic in these days, and the sooner they find out the truth the better for them and their coun try. Lord MALMESBURY strongly deprecated the meddling policywhich risked our chances of peace by offending all sides. He concluded by declaring it to be his conviction that if the Foreign Secretary could only keep quiet we should be much better off. This is rather a visionary futurity to look forward to, because it is next to impossible for Earl Russ SELL to follow such a course as that predicated, bat no doubt if he were to do so the country would occupy a far more dignified position than at present, and, instead of preaching peace on the borders of war, we might enjoy its blessings and reap its ad vantages without running the risk of being called cowardly. Such a reproach is sure to attach itself sooner or later to those who irritate and exasperate, and then declare that it matters not who are dis pleased or offended because they do not mean to fight. If we resolved to go to war when honour or interests demanded it, but not till then, we might have peace, indeed as useless in name in the spirit esivally as the letter. Then, as Lord MALMESBURY truly put it, " Under this blessing, agriculture in this and other countries will prosper, and we shall enjoy those great liberties which, thank God, we have enjoyedfornearalnydtwweo centuries. We shall look back with prid e to the great victories which our ancestors gained, shall certainly acquire by our calm and dignified position the respect of other nations, who probably will then come to us for advice and assistance for themselves." Certainly such a line of proceedings will be very different to that which our present Cabinet have marked out as their course of action, and the result will be far otherwise to what we can see around us, and have every reason to prognosti cate as the consequence of intolerant haste followed by a tame and consistent course. Gallant Lifeboat Service. The following is a copy of the report of the coxswain of the Caistor lifeboat of the National Institution, detailing a very gallant service per formed by their lifeboat on Wednesday morning last, briefly referred to in The Sun : CAISTOR, NORFOLK, Oct. 26, About 1.15 a.m. this morning a vessel was observed by the coastguard apparently lying on the Barber Sands. They immediately mustered the Caistor company of beachmen, and on their coming down to the beach they saw the vessel, but there being no signals flying from her, and it being very dark at the time, it was thought the vessel was riding outside of the sand. A watchful eye was, however, kept on her (the wind being E.S.E.,which caused a heavy ma to break on all that part of the sand), and about 1.46 am. a flare was shown, from the ;vessel. We then immediately launched our largo yawl Eclat, and pro ceeded towards the vessel, and on our nearing her signal lights were shown in quick succession. When we got within hail of them we could see that the vessel was laying in amongst the breakers on the Barber Sands, with the sea making a fair breach over her. When the crew of the ship saw the yawl they shouted loudly for assistance, but there being so much sea breaking over the vessel we dared not approach her, but wo shouted to the crew to keep their hearts up, and told them that we would return to the shore and launch the lifeboat and come t their rescue, which we did, anti about five o'clock we suc ceeded in taking the crew, six in number, out of the rigging in the lifeboat. Considerable damage was done to the EL boat in so doing. We then hauled away from the vessel by the lifeboat cable, and proceeded to the shore with the ut most speed. On inquiring of the captain we ascertained that the vessel's name was the Richmond Packet, from Middlesboro' to Dunkirk, laden with iron. We re iched our station about six o'clock a,m , the crew being drenched to the skin, We took them to our warehouse and gave them some refreshment, and afterwards conveyed them to the Sailors' Home at Yarmouth.

The Noticias of tosday states that a meeting of capitalists took place yesterday at the Ministry of Finance. The Minister said that, pending the opening of the Chambers, it would be necessary to satisfy the wants of the Treasury. He appealed to the pa triotism of those present to negotiate 600,000,000 reels of the bonds given in payment of the national property, or to subscribe to an issue of hypothe• cated note of the Bank, bearing interest at six per cent. The meeting separated without coming to any decision. THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. COPENHAGEN, OCT. 28. Dagbladet of to-day says—We hear, bat cannot vouch for the truth of the news, that on Wednesday last intelligence unfavourable to peace arrived here, and the sudden summons of the Council of State was on that account. The orders issued by the military authorities at Copenhagen seem to confirm this rumour. It is asserted that Prussia demands that the treaty of peace should not be submitted to the Rigsraad.

Henry, of Man chester, has become a candidate for the representation of Woodstock, and has issued an address to the electors, in the course of which he says :--" I come before you as a stranger and a liberal. By hereditary descent, by education, and by natural habit of mind, I am a consistent liberal and a friend to rational progress. Mr father, the late Mr. Alex Henry, member for South Lancashire, was well known and tried, when liberal principles were not so popular as they are now, and when they were not disguised under the name of mode rate conservatism. For myself I am independent of all party ties, have leisure to serve you in Parliament, and a desire to advance the good cause. lam in favour of the widest ex tension of civil and religious liberty; of the abolition of all oaths that fetter men's consciences; and of economy in the state, which alone can be obtained by abstaining from irri tating and needless interference in the affairs of foreign countries, whereby England is always kept as it were on the brink of war. lam also in favour of an extension of the franchise, so as to widen the basis of the constitution, and thus to act in political life and in the government of the country on the precept of doing to others that which we would they should do unto us. lam a sincere member of the Church of England, but confess myself not able to see how the cause of Christianity can be advanced by compelling men to support an establishment from which they conscientiously dissent." Mr Henry has commenced a personal canvass of the electors, and from the reception he has met with the Duke of Marlborough's nominee, Mr Barnett, of Glympton park, will, it is supposed, have a very difficult matter to gain a seat for that borough at the next general election. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Duke of Cambridge, as Field-Marshal Corn manding-in4Chief, held a levee on - Wednesday after noon at the Horse Guards. Abon`, 90 officers attended the levee. The s crew steam gunvessel Assurance, 4, Com mander H. B, Woolleombe, from Sheerness, arrived in Plymouth Sound on IVednesday morning os route :or the Mediterranean. The iron screw steamer storeship Industry, 2, Master Commander E. C. T. You al, from Woolwich, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Wednesday. She is being rep!enished with coal, and will shortly pro ceed to Rio Janeiro. Gen. Todleben, now on a visit to this country, went down to Woolwich yesterd.y at half-past 10 a.m., and visited the garrison departments. He was received at the Royal Arsenal railway station by Major Gen. Warde, C. 8., Commandant, attended by Captain Williams, Aide.de-Camp, and a staff of field officers. A guard of honour, provided by the Royal Horse Artillery, wa- drawn up at the ens trance of the station, who performed the customary salute. The General was accompanied by Gen. Sir John Burgoyne, G.C.8., Inspector -General of En. gineers, his aide-de-camp Capt. the Hon. G. Wrot tesley, R.E., and the Hon. Col. Wrottesley, Col. N. De Novitsky, Attache to the Russian Imperial Em bassy in London, and other officials. He was escorted from the station to the review ground on Woolwich.common, where the troops were mustered in marching order, and went through a field day's manoeuvres without . ammunition. Having visited the Royal Military Aoademy, the encampment occupied by Major Reilly's battery of the Horse Brigade and the Military Train, the Repository, &c., Gen. Todleben was entertained at luncheon by the officers of the Royal Artillery mess, and having learnt that one of Capt. Blakely's guns was about to undergo a Government proof at the Arsenal butt in the marsh, he expressed a desire to be pre. sent. General Warde immediately despatched a message to the butt, requesting the proof might be deferred to 2 o'clock for that purpose, when the entire party above-named were in attendance. There were also present Col. Bernalohy, from the Spanish Embassy ; Col. Bolagneee, director of the Peruvian Artillery ; Major• Gen. Wilford, Jt.A.; Captain Nangle, deputy -assist.-quartermaster - general, and many others. Capt. Blakely and Mr. Campbell re presented the manufacturers. The gun, weighing 15 tons, was of hammered cast steel and 11-inch bore, and precisely similar to others recently tested (as reported in ?he Sun). The charges consisted of 60 lb. of powder an d a 600 lb. cylinder shot, two rounds of which w ere fi re d with perfect success. A s some of these guns have been forwarded to the Russian capital, Gen. Todleben's interest in wit nessing the proof yesterday was natural. After leaving the marsh they proceeded to the Royal Ar senal, and inspected the departments there, commen cing with the gun factories, and going through the other branches of the establishment in succession. The General and other friends afterwards left for London. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty ;—Lieut. W. H. Kennedy, to the Britannia; and I.

The superiority of Hollo way's medicines over others for subduing diseases has been BO widely and fully proved, that it is only necessary to ask the afflicted to give them a trial, and it the instractions folded round them be followed, no disappointments will ever ensue, nor dangerous consequences result. In hoarseness and ulcerated sore throat, the ointment should frequently be rubbed on the neck and top of the chest; it will arrest the increasing inflammation, allay disquietude, end gradu ally cure. EXE TER. The last 24 hours have produced an extraordinary num ber of electioneering statements and rumours in Exeter, the best authenticated of which are worthy of publication. Exeter has at present two parliamentary representatives, one Mr Richard Sommers Gard, a Conservative, who un successfully contested Honiton in 1852, and was elected for Exeter in 1857; and the other Lord Cuurtenay, also a Con servative, who was elected by a narrow majority over Mr John Duke Coleridge a few months ago. At a large meeting of the members of the Conservative Association on Tuesday evening, it was announced that Mr Gard, who is 66 years of age, felt himself unequal to encounter the fatigues and aexieties of another election and Parliamentary duties, and would not come again forward at the expiration of the pre sent Parliament. The Conservative party have thus been thrown into excitement, and are searching for a candidate. It is understood that overtures have been made to Sir Stafford Northcote, but the hon. baronet has declined to stand for the city so near to which he resides, assigning as a reason that his seat at Stamford is, he believes, secure. The Hon. Mark Rolle, who has not long since come of age, and who will succeed to the Bicton estate, has also been communicated with, and iu spite of his years his 1°4.41 influence would secure for him much support if he were nominated. The result will be made known probably at a meeting of the Conservative party this evening. The Liberals, in spite of their late defeat, are so much elated at the result of the recent registration, that they are contem plating the possibility of securing both seats. Mr Cole ridge is highly respected, and would obtain the votes of many electors on personal grounds. It is said that Mr T. Dyke Aoland has again been solicited to stand, but his reply is not yet known. He is also a gentleman of much local weight,— Western Morning Area's. lIULL. The coming Parliamentary election for Hull attracts considerable attention. The presence of Mr, Clay in the borough for so many days, and his attention to the electors, naturally tends to promote speculation as to coming events. Mr Somes, too, was here last week, and was pre. sent at the opening of the now Rifle Volunteer Barracks, and also at the launching of three new vessels from the shipbuilding yard of the Humber Iron Works and Ship• building Company, in which he holds a large pecuniary stake. An address to the electors from Mr Joseph Hoare, renewing his pledge to contest the representation, has been issued. It is currently reported that Mr Chas Norwood, a well-known and influential merchant in the town, will be brought forward as the second liberal candidate. Alto• gather a contested election appears certain—Eastern Morn • ing _News. The Career of the Swindling Pretended Heiress. The following particulars relating to the history of Miss Mary Horafall, the pretended heiress, who was committed for trial from the Greenwich Police-court on 'Wednesday, will be read with interest. Her mother is a person in humble life, residing in Leeds, the name given by the prisoner being correct. About two years since she was barmaid at two different hotels in that town, but at neither of which does she appear to have remained any very lengthened time. Her next position in the world was that of chambermaid at a srst• class hotel which had then just been opened in Leeds, but her conduct here was such that she was dismissed from that situa tion before the expiration of the first week. She was next heard of as the heiress of a rich uncle, and in the early part of last year she obtained apartments at a temperance hotel of great respectability in Leeds. Here commenced her career, and jewellers, dressmakers, and nearly every description of tradespeople became her victims, her representation to the proprietor of the hotel being that her uncle, who resided in London, was prosecuting a suit in the Divorce Court to annul her =triage, she having separated from her husband on account of his ill-treatment. Upon pretence that her presence in London was necessary in the above proceedings, she left Leeds; but on returning the story promulgated by her was that the suit in the Divorce Court was at an end, her husband having sud denly expired. Her income, she gave out, was derived from tho " Ripen estate," but which in reality consisted in the money obtained from different pawnbrokers by pledging . the goods she had succeeded in obtain ing from a tradesman. Here she became acquainted with a commercial traveller of good family, and residing at Bir mingham, an acquaintance which led to an offer of mar• riage, and a house was taken in anticipation of this event coming off, one tradesman alone being induced by her to part with furniture valued at £3OO. Her real character here began to be discerned, at least by one female who had been admitted as an acquaintance and a friend ; and this suspicion having been communicated to the gentleman and his family at Birmingham, the marriage engagement came to an end in the month of June of the present year, when she thought it prudent to absent herself from Leeds. Two months afterwards, as bas been shown in the evidence taken at the Greenwich Police Court, she succeeded in com mencing another career of swindling, and also felony, in the metrorolis. FATAL DUEL.—A letter from Berlin in the .Pre curaeur of Antwerp relates the subjoined:—Count de Fuerstenberg Stammheim has just fought a duel with M. de Hochwaechter near Vaes, on the Dutch territory, when the latter was mortally wounded. The following are some details of the affair :—Some years ago there lived at Den: z, near Cologne, a Major M—, who had two very beautiful daughters. The count, who possessed a very large fortune, was a constant visitor at the house. Some time after M. de Hochwaechter, brother of the deceased, and first equerry to the count, married one of the daugh ters, and the count gave the young couple one of his cha teaux as a place of residence, furnishing it with great ale gance. The honeymoon had, however, scarcely passed when Count do Fuerstenberg received from his equerry a let. ter, in which the writer stated that his wife had confessed to him that before her marriage she had had intimate relations with the count. The equerry loaded the latter with re proaches, and concluded by asking him what remained for him to do undersuch circumstances. The count, who had just married a Princess d'A—, showed the letter to his wife and to one of his friends, Count de Humpesch, and protested his innocence. That gentleman was of opinion that the affair was an attempt to extort money, and that no notice ought to be taken of it. The matter, however, became known, and the nobility of the province was convoked as a Council of Honour. Their decision was in accordance with the advice of the Count de Hompesch. M. do Hochwaechter, some time after, meeting that gentleman near the railway station at Co logne, assaulted him with a whip. He was brought before the Correctional Tribunal for the offence, but acquitted. In the meantime Major M—, in consequence of proceedings taken by the body of dicers at Cologne and the rumours which accused him of a guilty connivance in the affair, was obliged to resign his commission. Madame de Hochwaech ter, after attempting to commit suicide, declared to a Ca tholic priest that she did not know how her husband had been able to extort from her an avowal which was com pletely false. A civil action was afterwards brought by M. de Hochwaechter against Count do Fuerstenberg, wh3 had dismissed him, notwithstanding a written engagement for a certain number of years, As, however, the count firmly refused to give him any satisfaction, the brother of M. de Hochwaechter decided on publicly insulting the count. The latter was obliged to meet the brother, and the affair proved fatal to the brother." HORRIBLE OUTRAGE AND MURDER BY A MOTHER. — Yesterday the wife of 'a labouring man named Dawson, residing in Wellington-road, Liverpool, daring a fit of mental aberration killed one of her children (a girl one year and 10 months cld), by cutting its throat with a large table knife. She then seized another and older child, and would have destroyed it had not its screams aroused the attention and interference of the neighbours. The wretched woman seized a third child, but being pre- vented while in the act of attempting to cut its throat, she inflicted a very severe wound upon her own neck and throat, which, had not plaster and other healing means been promptly applied, might have proved fatal. She was then removed to the main bridowell, where in her rage and madness she tore off the plasters from her throat, and caused a violent hemorrhage. She is still in a critical condition. It appears that she has not been long liberated from a lunatic asylum.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A COWARDLY FELLOW.—Charles Thomas Clements, described as a waiter, was brought before Mr Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, by O'Shaughneesy, one of the warrant officers, charged with using threatening language to a young woman named Helena White, whereby she goes in danger of her life. The prosecutrix, a well-dressed young female, said that on the previous Monday night the prisoner followed her into a tavern in Maddox-street, and asked her to leave with him. She refused to do so, and on subsequently going away the prisoner followed her, and tore her mantle, and threatened to throw vitriol in her face. Mr Tyrwhitt asked the prosecutrix whether she had known the prisoner previously, and she stated that she kept the prisoner for four years by prostitution, and because she would not do so now he threatened her life, said he would " break her nose," and sent females to annoy her. The prisoner said he merely spoke to the prosecutris, and she set to calling " Police." He then ran away. Mr Tyrwhitt ordered the prisoner to find two bail, in the sum of LW each, to keep the peace for three months. THAMES. ROBBERY DY A SERVANT —James Woods, a journey man baker, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with stealing a loaf of bread weighing 21b, and valued at 2td, the property of William Spier, of 46, Brook-street, Ratcliff, The prosecutor said that the prisoner had been in his ser vice six months, and his wages were 12a per week and as much bread and flour as he could consume in the house, but none out of it. He had missed large quantities of bread while the prisoner was in his service. He was at last in duced to suspect the prisoner. Yesterday he searched a cupboard in the bakehouse, in which tho prisoner kept his own bread, and he found there the 21b loaf produced, which he marked by chipping the bottom of it in two places. He saw the same loaf in the station-house last night. He had missed three loaves this week. In answer to Mr Partridge, witness said he found three quarters of a out loaf in the same cupboard. In answer to questions by the prisoner, Mr Spier said he had generally found him correct in his accounts. Ho had told the prisoner if he was going upon an excursion to the Crystal Palace or elsewhere he might put a loaf in his pocket to cut while he was out. Henry Harris, police constable 383 K, stopped the pri soner with the loaf produced upon him yesterday evening in Brook-street. Tbe prisoner said, " My master allowed me the bread.", The prisoner was committed for trial at the sessions. MARKETS--This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat. coastwise and by land carriage, were of very moderate extent, The trade for all qualities ruled far from active, yet no change took place in prices compared with Monday. There was a good supply of foreign wheat on the stands. Generally speaking the trade was quiet, yet prices ruled firm, and the business done was at Monday's currency. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at late rates. The supply of barley on sale was tolerably large. Good and fine malting qualities moved off steadily, at full quotations. Inferior barley, however, was in slow request, at late rates. The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, at about previous quotations. With oats the market was well supplied. In most de scriptions a fair business was transacted, and prices ruled firm. Beans were in slow request, at late currencies. For peas the trade was quiet, at late rates. In flour sales progressed somewhat slowly, at late cur rencies. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley, Malt. Oats. Flour.

The Colliers' Strike. WOLVERHAMPTON, Oct. 27. Tc-day, at the Bilston Police Court, the 19 colliers charged at that court on Thursday last with unlawfully assembling together that morning at Tipton, and also with intimidation and conspiracy, were brought up on remand before Mr Spooner, the stipendiary magistrate of the Wol verhampton district. The evidence taken last week showed that the accused had formed parts of the large concourse of men on strike who, on the mornings of Wednesday and Thursday of that week, had paraded the roads between Dudley and Bilston, between fivo and six o'clock in the morning, for the purpose of preventing the miners who had "gone in" from going down the pits and pursuing their employment. the alleged intimidation consisted in the gathering bf Such large masses of men, with drums, tin whistles, shouts, and cries. The district had been plenteously posted with placards from the beginning, set ting forth the illegality of such practices ; and the police had patrolled the district every morning, protecting the men who kept at their work, or had returned or were re• turning to it, and warning those who sought to interfere with them that they were liable to be arrested. Warning, having been in vain, the police received orders, on Wed nesday week, henceforth to put the law in full force. The next morning the prisoners, and about 2,000 others, assem bled in the neighbourhood of one of the Earl of Dudley's pits, where the men had returned to work at Tipton green, and paraded the road armed with hedge stakes, ac companied with bands and shouting. They refused to disperse or discontinue playing awl shouting, and on their attempting to force their way up the by-road loading to the pit, the police charged them with their staves, and, after a short but sharp and decisive conflict, succeeded in capturing and keeping in custody the 19 prisoners who stood in the dock to-day. On Thursday last the prisoners were undefended; to-day the promise was redeemed that they should be ably de fended, for Dr Kenealy, of the Oxford circuit, and Mr Roberts. the miners' attorney of Manchester, appeared on their behalf; and Mr Sergeant o'l3rien, of the Midland circuit, with Mr Motterham, of the Oxford circuit, were for the prosecution. The learned sergeant briefly addressed the bench to the above effect, and it was then agreed that the depositions taken last week should stand, any additional evidence to be added to them. The additional evidence went to strengthen the case,as regarded the charge of conspiracy. The principal item was as to the holding of a meeting at the Britannia Inn on the evening of the 18th inst.,whereat the men on strike assembled, and at which a speaker de clared that they would not be followed about by the "blues," but would go into the b— (the police), and fetch them (the men at work) out. Two of the prisoners were seen going in to the meeting, and a third (Allen), with a flourish , of a hedge stake, sought next morning to lead a body of men to practically carry out the resolution. The butties of the pit in question proved that the men at work at it had been met on the Wednesday morning, stoned and driven from their work, and at night men in the vicinity were overheard threatening it would be " b— hot for them to-morrow morning." Evidence was given by Superintendent M'Crea that he had, several mornings pre viously, warned the men their morning marches and bands would ite stopped by force, when they replied they would consult their leaders. Cne of the prisoners, named Allen, was one of the men who made this reply. On the Thursday morning, when ho formed the police across the road block ing the way to the Earl c f Dadley'e pit, and also to Dudley, the prisoners and others attacked the police, attempting to break through them. Major M'Kuight, the deputy and foi some limo acting chief constable tf the county, proved that owing to complaints of outrages committed on men going to work and from the inhaNiants of the neighbourhood, h , gave orders to the police, which they carried out, when they captured the prisoners. From what he knew of the state of the district the measures ho took were necessary. Seve ral other witnesses having been examined for the prosecu tion, the inquiry was adjourned at five o'clock until this morning.

The remains of this lamented nobleman was in terred in the family mausoleum at Markham Clinton Notts, yesterday. The esteem in which the late Duke was held by all classes, more especially by his numerous tenantry, was shown by the attendance at the ceremony of yesterday, which exceeded anything that has been witnessed of late years on similar occasions. The park at Clamber was ap. pointed for the mustering place of the tenantry, and they began to assemble about nine o'clock. About 500 horsemen were in attendance, all wearing hatbands. The body lay in state in the anteroom of the library, in a mahogany coffin, which enclosed a lead shell and a coffin of cedar, the latter laJing made out of a cedar that formerly grew in the pleas sure grounds. At the head of the coffin was a ducal coronet. The coffin plate bore the following inscrip. tion Henry Pelham Pelham-Clinton, Duke of Newcastle, Earl of Lincoln, Lord-Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the county of Notts, Lord Warden of the Stannaries in Cornwall and Devon, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the GIL - ter, One of her Majesty's Most Hon, Privy Council, D. C,L., Born, May 22, 1811, Died, October 18, 1864. The funeral procession was composed as follows : A mourning coach drawn by two horses, conveying Mr Gilbert, the late Duke's house steward ; Mr Scott, the farm bailiff; the agent's clerk ; and Mr Latham. The late Duke's carriage, closed, drawn by a pair of horses, coachmen and footmen. Tenantry on horseback, headed by the head keepers. The Worksop forester. Tenants in cart is ages—Messrs C. S. Burnaby, T. F. A. Burnaby, Joe. Champion, W. E. Watson, John Whall, H. Cottam, E. Hodgkinson, W. Wilkinson, J. Garside. The Forester, on horseback, heading a procession of 530 tenantry on horseback, all wearing mourning. Mourning coaches conveying the chaplain of the late duke and several of the netchbouring clergymen ; the solicitor to his Grace sod his medical attendants; his agents and the managers of his estates. Then came the pail-bearers, eight in number, selected from the tenantry whose families have been for cen turies connected with the estate. Then followed the hearse drawn by six horses, the trappings display ing the escutcheon of the family. Eight under-bears ers walked alongside, selected from cottage tenants. The first mourning coach following the hearse cons tained the Earl of Lincoln (now Duke of News castle), Lords Artivir and Albert Pelham Clinton, sons of the late Duke, and his Grace the Duke of Hamilton. In the next coach were Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, Bart,, and Captain D'Eyncourt, R N., brothers-in•law of the late Duke ; Sir Rodney Mundy, and the Lord Foley, cousins of the late Duke. The next contained Lord de Tabley, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer, executor of the Duke,and Lord Harris. The rest of the procession was composed of the sera vents of the late Duke, and a vast number of te nantry and labourers. From Clumber to Markham Clinton is about eight miles, and the road was lined with the country people, who were not de terred by the excessively unpleasant day from attend.og to pay the last tribute of respect to one whose memory will long live in their hearts as a good landlord, and an affectionate amiable nobles man. The procession started from Clumber at a quarter past 12, and reached Markham Clinton at 3. The funeral service was then performed and the body was lowered into the vault. It may be stated thaNs, this church was built specially by the father of the late Duke, who died in 1852, as a burying place for the family. The church is a small and plain building, and underneath there more than 30 vaults constructed for the reception of the bodies of the Clinton family. The ceremony was over at a quarter past 3. and the vast procession separated. We may state that the whole of the children of the late Duke were present, with the exception of Lord Edward Clinton, who is in Canada with the Kill Brigade, and L.idy Susan Vane Tempest.
