THE WHITE SEA SQUADRON. - _ We have been favoured by the Admiralty with the following copies of despatches from the squadron sent to act against the Czar in the White Sea : (Copy.) Her Majesty's steamer Eurydice, off Cross Island, White Sea, Sept. I. Sir, —Herewith I have the honour to transmit, for the information of the. Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, a report from Captain E. M. Lyons, of her Majesty's steam ship Miranda, containing a statement of his proceedings in the Kola river, resulting in the destruction of the defences And town of Kola,•the capital of Russian Lapland. 2. Kola is the nearest Russian town on the Arctic coast to the Norwegiandominions. It is regarded as a place of considerable importance, being the seat of government for Russian Lapland, and garrisoned by a military force. Un derstanding that the creeks adjacent to the Kola river were well adapted for concealing vessels belonging to the enemy, I deemed it necessary that this locality should be recon noitred before the close of this season while conducting my operations in these seas, accordingly I directed Captain Lyons to execute this service on his return fromVardahuns. 3. By extraordinary perseverance the obstacles, of ascending a narrow river were overcome, and the Miranda was placed witin gunshot of the town of Kola. Captain Lyons, anxious to spare the town, submitted conditional terms for the surrender of the garrison, end afforded the authorities full time for reflection. This offer was rejected, and the enemy assuming a hostile attitude, there was no alternative but to open fire upon the defences and assembled force. The effect of the shell among the wooden houses Noon caused a general conflagration of the town, which re duced ieto ashes.. 4. The defences of the town were completely destroyed, and considerable loss of life was doubtless inflicted on the e nemy's side, besides the destructi on of a large quantity of government flour that was in store, for the use of the troops. 5. I beg to bring under the favourable ' co nsideration of their lordships the conduct of Ca p tain E. M. kyons, by whose skill and p er severance the ship was navigated through the intricacies of a narrow river to Kola, a place hitherto deemed inaccessible to anythi n g but boats ; thereby avoid ing the risk of life involved by a boat expedition, and throughout this service I con sider that he has displayed judgment and.spirit. 6. Captain Lyons reports in terms of high praise on the conduct of the offi cers , seamen, and marines under his com mand thronghbut these proceedings, more especially that of Lieutenant J. F. C. Mackenzie, and of the Master, Mr. George and I beg leave to recommend them to the favourable n otice of their lordships. 7. This achievement, which has inflicted much damage to the enemy;- I am happy to state has been accomplished without any loss on our side. 8. I enclose herewith a copy of Captain Lyons' report of proceedings at Kola, one copy of which was forwarded di rect to the Secretary of the Admiralty by Captain Lyons, immediately after the occurrence.—l have, &c., ERASMUS 03f MA.NNEY, Captain and Senior Officer. .) [Enclostre in Captain (C Om opymanney's letter, dated Ist of September, 1854 .] (Reports proceedingi in Kola River and in Litscha Fiord.) Her Majesty's ship Miranda, Litscha Inlet, Aug. 24. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that, in pursuance of your orders to reconnoitre the enemy's force in the river Kola, I entered it on the morning of the 21st inst., and, by sending 'boats ahead to sound, succeeded in getting within two bailee of the town the same evening. 2. In order to reach this anchorage it is necessary to pass many points well adapted for defence, and ono in particu lar, where, from the narrowness of the channel, a ship has to pass at 50 yards distance from precipitous and in parts overhanging cliffs, where serious loss might be inflicted without. any risk to the enemy, in consequence of it being impossible to elevate the guns sufficiently. 3. Considering that this position would, after our present visit, doubtless be occupied, I thought it very desirable to conclude the operations at once, and seeing from the nature of the defences, which consisted of a two-gan battery, built of stone and faced with turf, an extensive stockade with block-houses at the corners, and the houses of the town loopholed, :that an attack on it would be hazardous, it seemed to me advisable to make every effort to get the ship up to the town. 4. This was only accomplished by great exertions on the part of the officers and ship's company, and with consider able difficulty, owing to the narrowness and intricacy of the channel and the violence of the spring tides, which, combined, caused the ship to ground frequently. At 6.30 p.m., however, on the evening of the 22d, we got into position within 500 yards of the battery and the nearest part of the town. 5. I then hoisted a flag of truce, and sent Lieutenant Cecil W. Buckley, with a summons (a copy of which I en close). He was met by a person who represented himself to be a magistrate of the town, but whom I believe to have been an officer, in a boat, who declined to allow him to land, and who, not being able to read English, accom panied Lieutenant Buckley on toard. This person spoke French fluently, and stated that the governor of the town was absent. I twice translated to him the summons in French, and having received his assurance that he per fectly understood it, I delivered it to him. He said that en answer should be returned in half an hour, but that he might at'once inform me that the terms would not be ac- cepted. 6. I waited till daylight the following morning, when, no answer having been sent, and observing that the bat tery and the other defences were manned, and everything prepared'for action on shore, I hauled down the flag of truce and opened fire on the battery, stockade, and loop holed-houses, which was instantly returned by guns and musketry. The guns were shortly dismounted, and the battery reduced to ruins ; but although our shells burst well into the loopholed houses and stockade, an obstinate fire of musketry was kept up from vari ous parts of the town. This allowed m no alterna tive, and I was therefore obliged to destroy it. It was soon in flames from our shell and red-hot shot, and burnt furiously, being fanned by a fresh breeze. The ship at this time became critically situated, the violence of the tide causing her to drag the bower and stream anchors, and the two kedges laid out to spring her broadside, and the passage being too narrow for her to swing she grounded at less than 300 yards from the burning town, fragments from which were blown on board ; however, by keeping the sails, rigging, and' decks well wetted, until - the ship was hove off, no bad consequences ensued. 7. I now sent the boats and marines (as per enclosure), under the command of Senior-Lieutenant John F. C. M`Kenzie to drive out the enemy, who had returned to the battery and were keeping up a tire of musketry from its ruins, and bring off the guns. This was effected without aDy loss, by the gallant example and judicious arrange ments of Lieutenant M'Kenzie, ably seconded by Mr. Charles W. Manthorp, senior mate. The battery was found to be a heap of ruins, with one gun buried under them, and the othe;broktm by shot. On the return of the boats I sent Lieutenant M'Kenzie with the same party to de strcy some Government buildings and storehouses which, being separated from the town, would not otherwise have been burnt. This was accomplished with the same spirit and judgment. a 8. lam unable to give an accurate account of the enemy's force on this occasion, but I had received informa tion at Nardo-Huns that besides the regular soldiers, the whole of the male inhabitants had been armed, drilled, and enrolled, and this our own observation confirmed. Their loss must have been considerable, but the conflagra tion having consumed such bodies as were not removed, renders even an approximate account impossible. I should observe that the defences were evidently prepared with a view to resist an attack by boats, the possibility of the ship getting up apparently not having entered into their calculations • for if it had done so they might easily have prevented i t by sinking a vessel, or even a boat filled with stones— such is, in parts, the narrowness and shallowness of the channel. Presuming an attack to have been made by boats, the defences were strong and skilfully arranged, and would, probably, have inflicted a heavy loss. 9. As we steamed out on the morning of the 24th, the flames, having destroyed the rest of the town, were just communicating with a small suburb, the only remaining part. However melancholy the utter destruction of the townmay be, the nature of the defence, and the obstinacy with which the enemy persisted in firing from various parts of it until destroyed, rendered it imperative on me to do so, and it is satisfactory to think that no non-com batants can have been hurt ; for besides the extension of the term allowed in the summons, women and children had been seen leaving the town during the whole of the pre vious day with baggage. 10. This service was effected without the loss of a man, • and I trust I may be allowed to bring to your notice the spirit, ability, and indefatigable zeal displayed on the oc casion by Lieutenant M'Kenzie, senior lieutenant of this ship, to whom this result is in a great measure to be attri buted ; as also the very skilful manner in which the diffi cult passage to the town was found and buoyed by Mr. George Williams, master ; and the excellent nerve and judgment shown by him in piloting the ship up to her position. Nor can I refrain from mentioning the highly creditable zeal and cheerful eagerness and alacrity dis played by all the officers, ship's company, and Royal Ma rines during the protracted and severe labour which the operations entailed on them. 11. Although the ship grounded eight times, owing to the narrowness and intricacy of the channel (in several Parts sc..rcely more than hot own length broad), and the violen ce o f the spring tides, which ran six to seven knots, she does not a pp ear t o h ave sus t a i ne d any d amage , an d I try it may be considered that the object in view justified the ri s k. 12. Bavin g received intelligence from a fisherman that several -Russian merchant vessels were concealed in creeks in ,Letscha Inlet 60 frommiles Kola, I came in here at once, and this evening; in t w o di fferent coves of the inlet, captured two schooners and four loggers. I have assembled them in this creek, and as'soon as the schooners can be got ready for a voyage t o England I shall despatch them, and make the best of ray w ay . to. which are' you at Loznovetz roads. The laggera, Mi re v ul oy w a im e h t :re' large and valuable vessels, being unfit for England, I shall be obliged to destroy.- 1 have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, . • E. M.

Her Majesty's ship Miranda, at sea, August 29. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that, having heard from some of the crews of the prizes taken in Lits cha Fiord that Russian merchant vessels had lately been concealed in Titoro Bay and Novo Zembla Harbour, both in the Gulf of Motoro, and conceiving it not impossible that men-of-war might have taken shelter in the latter, I thought I should be carrying out the spirit of your orders by examining these places while in the neighbourhood. I accordingly did so, but found only two luggers, one of which, having a Nor we g ian pass, I released ; the other, after converting the available part into firewood, 'scuttled. 2. In Titoro Bay the ship, while going from two to three knots, grounded forward on a steep sand bank (her stern being in 10 fathoms water), but floated off again on the tide rising, without receiving any damage ; and in enter ing Nova Zembla Harbour she touched forward, while at a slow speed, but backed off again immediately, also with out sustaining any damage. Both these occurrences were occasioned by the inaccuracy of the chart. 3. On my return I passed through the channel, between Rildinu Island and the Main, but found no vessels.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, E. M. DroNs, Captain. Captain E. Ommanney, her Majesty's ship Eurydice, Senior Officer of White Sea Squadron. The followin g is a list of captured Russian vessels burnt or destroyed by her Majesty's steam-ship Miranda, between the 24th and the 31st of August, 1851:—A lugger, 57 tons, laden with salt fish, burnt ; a lugger, 63 tons, laden with salt fish and five casks of oil, burnt ; a lugger, 67 tons, laden with salt fish and rye flour, burnt ; a lugger, 35 tons, laden with salt fish, burnt, names unknown, cap tured the 24th of August. A lugger, 61 tons, laden with salt fish, scuttled, name unknown, captured the 28th of August. A lugger, 55 tons, laden with rye flour, scuttled, name unknown, captured the 29th of August. (Signed) E.

BOW-STREET.—Georgelforgen, alias Jordan, was summoned at the instance of the police, for having made a false representation as to his name for the purpose of obtaining a license as an omnibus conductor from the Commissioners of Police. Mr. Ballantine appeared for the defendant. The defendant's real name was Jordan, and i❑ conse quence of the reports of the police as to his bad charac ter, his license as an omnibus conductor was stopped in 1851. Afterwards he sent in a requisition in the name of Morgan, and obtained a license in that name, and from that time to the present he had been in one em ployment, and gave such satisfaction to his master, Mr. Bennett, of Chelsea, that that person informed the police that he was the best conductor he had ever had. Since 1851 there had been no complaint whatever against him, and he appeared to have done his best to redeem his character.. The present summons was taken out in con sequence of a letter having been sent to the commis sioners, stating that the defendant was the George Jor dan whose license was stopped in 1851. Mr. Ballantine said there could -be no doubt that an offence bad been committed, but the circumstances, he submitted, were such as to entitle him to consideration and leniency. In consequence of his means of obtaining an honest livelihood being stopped, by his license being taken from him, he changed his name to Morgan, and applied for a new license in that name. He had com mitted no offence since he had had it, but on the con trary had redeemed his character, and earned the best opinion of his employer. Mr. Henry said he should attach importance to the testimony as to the defendant's good conduct, given to the police by the defendant's master, but the offence was one which for the security of the public must meet with some punishment. The penalty incurred was 51., but under the circumstances he should mitigate it to 1/. The defendant could send in a fresh requisition in his own name, and his employer might be disposed to peti tion for the renewal of the licence. MANSION-HOUSE.—Henry Thompson wascharged before the Lord Mayor with having robbed a warehouse. Mr. C. Rising, warehouseman to Messrs. Holiday and Co., of Watling-street, said—At half-past eleven this day, while I was in the warehouse, the prisoner came in and asked if we were in want of a light porter, and upon being answered in the negative, left that part of the warehouse, to go out out, as I supposed. I then saw a large package of wadding taken out at the door, and I went out and saw the prisoner with the package. He said a gentleman had sent him for it, and I seized him by the collar of the coat, out of which he slipped at once. He attempted to get away ; but, with assistance, I de tained him, and he was taken back to the warehouse with the goods, which consisted of 144 yards, and which had been delivered to us on that morning. The prisoner—l did not go to steal; but a gentleman to whom I mentioned that I was looking for a situation told me that I was likely to get one there, and if I did not succeed that I was to bring the parcel to him. The prisoner, who was a lad of diminutive size, and who very easily appropriated the package, enormous as it was, was committed for trial. IVilliara Clarke was committed for trial upon the charge of having robbed the house of Mr. Sly, the owner of the Angel public-house in John-street, Minories, of boots, shoes, a pair of spurs, and part of a set of boot trees. The prisoner had walked into the house, and, pretending to go to the yard, had turned round and dis appeared immediately, after which the property was missed. On the same day he returned, went in the same direction, and en returning was seized. Other property belonging to the house was found then in his possession. George Wicking was committed for trial upon the charge of having plundered his employers, Messrs. Smith and Co., wholesale stationers, of Queen-street, Cheapside, of several articles. He had gone into the shop of Mr. Newbold, optician, Houndsditch, and offered for 6s. some silver pencil-cases which were worth a pound. Finnis, the officer to whom the circumstance was mentioned, apprehended the prisoner, who had been discharged from the house on Saturday last, and produced nine porte-monnaies, a cigar case, a printed book, and six pencils in cases, which had been found in the prisoner's lodgings, and which the prose cutors belived to be their property. James Ilinde and William, Lorman were committed as rogues and vagabonds for three months, upon the charge of having attempted to commit robberies upon tradesmen. The prisoners had been seen by a policeman to go to several outfitter? shops, and try to remove coats which had been carefully fastened to the rails, as if customers of the kind were expected. After an ineffectual struggle to get possession of the coats, they tried their skill at, a boot-maker's, but were baulked there also, and they were, after a series of experiments, checked in their career and lodged in the station-house. GUILDHALL.—Mr. William Clarke, of Bargate end, near Boston, in LinColnshire ' was summoned for unlawfully sending and causing to be delivered in New gate-market for sale four quarters of beef which was alleged to be diseased and unfit for human food. Ic was satisfactorily shown that the meat in question was sent to Newgate-market in the defendant's name, and that it was unfit for food, the animal having been suffering from the long disease, in which state it was killed. It was that description of beast called a " wet 'no," which no respectable salesman would offer for sale or receive in his shop for that purpose. The defendant said he was in the habit of sending to Newgate-market the best quality of meat, but in this instance a highly respectable farmer of Boston, of the name of Charles Ireland, wished to send the four quar ters of beef to the London market, and, not knowing any salesman, he asked defendant to allow him to send it to Newgate-market in his name, a request which defendant assented to without knowing or seeing the beef before it was sent. Alderman Rose said it was a very serious offence to send meat in such an unwholesome state to market while the cholera was so prevalent, and great praise was due to the inspectors for the diligent performance of their duties in bringing these cases before the magistrates. It was very necessary that every precaution should be adopted to prevent the admission of such unwholesome food to the London markets, and as the defendant had been so careless as to lend his name without ascertain ing to what purpose it was applied, he must take the consequence of his imprudence, and answer this case at the sessions. Committed for trial accordingly. Mr. Cavalier, a salesman of Newgate-market, was summoned for exposing for sale a quantity of pork unfit for human consumption. It was stated the meat was in a putrid state when seized by the inspectors. The defendant admitted that the pork was bad, but alleged that it was perfectly good and sweet meat when it was put into the salting tub, and he was not aware that it was exposed for sale ; if it was, it was without his sanction. Alderman Rose said that was a common excuse, but the _ master was responsible for the acts of his servants, a as the case was clearly proved, lie should' fine the defendralt 40s. The fine was paid. last letter, that G A e' A DuEt..—G ENO ---- t Sep— 21.—1 informed you, in my I i n ia e l r a .l Garibaldi hail lately arrived way put my letter in the post here from Nice. refuge when I learned he w to fight a duel with a e ic, in wh o for some time past general of the Roman republic, published reme mbered that when the azePtßi has been livinc , as a was made at Parma ledoallodnnectlaralttionniaycobne .to rise, General Garibaldi p u some officers, who had Garibaldi,served under demning• the movement. and especially addressed him a letter, requiring gave rise to some warm polemics in certain republican journals, lean journals, in which a superior officer of the Roman p array (Rosselli) took a pri nci p al p art.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1854, lIAVERFORD WEST PETTY SESSIONS. , A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST CHARGED WITH COMMITTING A RAPE. The magistrates present were the Rev. Thomas Mar tin, J. L. Morgan (who left before the close of the pro ceedings), James Owen, James Higgon, and John Hig gon, Esqrs. Res. Patrick, Kelly, Roman Catholio priest, stationed at Milford, was charged with having committed a rape on the person of Mary Sullivan, a girl about fourteen years of age. Mr. J. Lloyd appeared for the complainant, and Mr. J. E. Evans for the defendant. Mary Sullivan deposed—l was fourteen years of age last March, and live with my father, Patrick Sullivan, a marine store dealer at Milford. I know the Rev. Patrick Kelly, in whose service I was occasionally for about four months. I remember Thursday, the 14th instant. I was, about five minutes past six o'clock on that evening, in Mrs. Stribling's back place, where Mr. Lloyd used to keep a school. At my father's house in the evening I saw defendant. He said "Oh Mary, you are the person I want." I said perhaps one of my brothers will do, as I am very busy, and Mrs. George wants me. He said " No, nobody but you." He looked at his watch and said it was six o'clock. My father asked what time I should go down, and he said in five minutes, and Mr. Kelly told me to be sure not to go to Mrs. Stribling'e front door, as she did not like Irish people to go to her front door. I went down to the back door in five mi nutes afterwards, and Mr. Kelly was standing there and let me in, and bolted the door as soon as I was in. There was another door in another part of the passage, which he also fastened. He then went into the vestry-room of the Roman Catholic chapel from the passage and called me in. He had a bottle is his hand, and he said, come in for the bottle. It was a large bottle. I had been in the habit of fetching things in bottles for him. I went to take the bottle and he laid hold of me by the hand. I pulled my hand loose, and I went to run.througla the passage arid he ran after me before I could have time to go down into the pas sage. The room was up two steps, and before I could get down he pulled me back by the frock and I fell down. I gave that frock to Mr. Kelly, the police superinten dent. This frock produced is the one I then wore. Afterwards I took the skirt off intending to put it to another body—this rent was done at that time. When he pulled me I fell back on a mat. I had just got to one step. I fell to the ground. (The witness here gave evidence which distinctly proved the commission of the capital offence,but which is altogethei unfit forpublica tion.) I can't tell how long I was down, but when I woke I found him standing near me. He again attempted to lay hold of me. I then pulled myself away from him, and the sleeve of his coatrubbed against the wall, and he said, "The devil fire you wherever you go." I then took the loot.: tle, and he opened the door and asked me to shake hands with him. I said, "No, you can only give your bene diction." He said, "Oh, puff, that's like a breeze of wind blown away." He said, "You know well I did not mean it." I said, " I dare say what you say you mean," and the door was opened, and I then went away with the bottle for the whisky. I called.into a house, Mrs. Sut ton's, in the back street, and called her daughter, Ellen M'Carty, and told her everything that he did to me, but I did not tell her that he did anything improper to me. (The complainant here repeated all the statements which she made to Ellen M'Carty, and which she had already given to the court, save that she did not state to her the commission of the capi tal offence.) When I left Ellen M'Carty I went for the whisky to Mrs. Davies's. I then was going to take it to my house, in order that one of my brothers might take it up, but before I got home the priest met me and took it from me and put it in his pocket, and he told me to go down to Mr. Witcher, or any shop I liked, and see the price of the prints, and come to him on Saturday evening at six o'clock, and he would give me money to buy a dress. I then went to my work, and never said anything to him. When I told Ellen 111`Carty, Mrs. Sutton was not present, but she asked ins should she tell her, and I said yes, and she told Mrs. Sutton in my presence what I bad told her. I returned from work to my father's house about nine o'clock. Father and mother were in, but I did not say anything to him then, but father was going out and I went out with him, and he asked me about it, and I told my father all. As soon as I sat down father called me out and I told him everything. I then went up stairs and in about an hour mother called me down, and I told her all. Mr. Heslop examined me on the Monday following. Nothing happened to me between the Thursday and Monday. Mr. Luke C. Heslop—l am a surgeon, residing in Haverford-west. I examined the person of Mary Sulli van on Monday last. I examined .her professionally. [This witness gave evidence which proved that there had been a violation of the person, but stated that these ap pearances would have been shown even had the girl bean a consenting party. The evidence, however, is unfit for publication.] Mr. Evans replied to the evidence in a speech, the intention of which was to throw a doubt upon the pro secutor's evidence. The prisoner was asked if he had anything to say. He pleaded not guilty. The Rev. James Kenny was called, but did not ap. pear, as was also another party. Mr. Superintendent Kelly stated that he was unable to effect a service of the summons upon these witnesses. Mary Stribling, the landlady of Mr. Kelly, gave evi dence as to the position of the chapel and her kitchen, and stated that on the evening in question, she did not hear the noise of any scuffle in her back premises- On her cross-examination by Mr. Lloyd, she positively swore that Mr. Kelly came into the house a little before 6 o'clock, and went directly up to his room, took his tea, and cli.l not leave his room till about 7 o'clock. He did not go back to the chapel, or to the vestry-room. Mr. J. D. Brown, surgeon, deposed that ho examined the girl •on Wednesday morning last, and swore that there was no recent rupture. Mr. Brown's medical evi dence, like Mr. Heslop's, is unfit for publication. Mr. Charles Petizley (examined as to the character of the complainant)—Swore that during the time she was in his employ, he had reason to complain of her fre quently, sad to doubt her veracity.. A great part of this witness's evidence was objected to by the magistrates because of its irrelevancy. Mary John, the servant of Mrs. Stribling, merely cor roborated her mistress's evidence, save that she swore that Mr. Kelly came in to tea at 7 o'clock and not at 6 o'clock. Mr. Lloyd partially recapitulated the evidence for the Crown, and attempted to show that all the evidence that could corroborate the complainant's charge had been given ; that immediately upon leaving the house she had stated to Ellen M'Carty sufficient to prove that some improper act had been committed by the defendant, and closed his address by maintaining that the case ought to be sent to the, jury. Mr. Kelly desired to be heard in consequence of some imputations which had fallen from the opposite attorney, and also to call attention to the discrepancy of time in the statements of the complainant and Ellen M'Carty. The Bench decided, however, but with evident reluc tance, that he could not be heard personally, as he had been heard by his attorney. The magistrates were divided in their opinion. Mr. Martin and Mr. Owen were for sending the case to a jury, and Mr. James Higgon and Mr. John Higgon were for an acquittal. Mr. Evans contended that, as the bench was thus equally divided, his client was entitled to an acquittal. Mr. Lloyd, on the contrary, maintained that as two magistrates were for a committal, the case ought to go the jury. The magistrates having come to no decision, the de fendant was permitted to go free. EXPORTATION OF SUGAR FROM TRIESTE TO ENGLAND —TRIESTE, Sept. 20.—The Trieste Gazette says :—" We alluded recently to the considerable decrease in the sugar trade of our town. We just learn a fact that confirms our words. A house in this city, that has carried on for years the largest business in raw sugars, but which was fully prepared for a further diminution this year of its usual supplies from transatlantic countries, sees, not withstanding this, no possibility of finding a market here for the sugar on hand, and is consequently shipping stock to London.

Shipping raw sugar at Trieste for England is a perfectly new event in the annals of trade." _ _ _ " ONE MAN, IN EIS TIME, PLAYS MANY PARTS."— At the Town-hall, Leicester, on Monday last, on the conclusion of business, an aged hut intelligent-looking negro presented himself before the Bench, and handed to the magistrates a memorial, which told the following tale :—He was stolen at the age of eleven years, taken by the slave traders to the West India islands, and sold in the slave market at Tobago. He was there bought by a gentleman and "given" to the Rev. T. Fancourt, who brought him to England, as a servant, in the year 1800. He received the name of Joseph Cooper, and was for some time foot-boy to the late Mr. Buxton, of Danett's Hall, Leicester. When his services were no longer required in this capacity, he enlisted in the Rut land Militia, from which regiment he volunteered into the regulars, and served in H.M. 69th Foot about seven years. This sable soldier was present at several engage ments ; amongst others, the battle of Waterloo, and re ceived his discharge in the April following that action, when he returned to Leicester, and obtained employ ment in the trimming and dyeing business under the late John Moore, Esq., for whom he worked 23 years ; and he bad since been employed by other masters in the same business. PROTECTION OF TRADH MARKS.— Hitherto an enor mous amount of fraud has been perpetrated in various parts of the world, and more especially in the British colonies, by the piracy on the part of unprincipled per sons of the private marks of houses of established repu tation and success. • Our attention has been called to a plan which Mr. Hibbert, the barrister, has propounded, and which seems calculated to meet the evil. Mr. Hibbert proposes the establishment of a Central Registry ofTrade Marks, where any person will be enabled, on the pay ment of a fee, to procure the registration of his peculiar trade mark or symbol in the register book, tho office giving him a certificate of the registration ; and on this document it is proposed to have a marginal emblazon• !tient of the certified mark or symbol, corresponding with that in the registrar's office. Any person procuring . such a certificate is to have an absolute property in the certi fied mark or symbol for 20 years, which may be re newed by himself or his representatives at the expiration of that time. "The holder of the certificate to have the right of procuring summarily and cx parte from any County Court in England, or any court of corresponding jurisdiction in Ireland or Scotland, or any court of civil jurisdiction in any of her Majesty's colonies and dependencies,. a prohibitory order or inhibition to pre . . vent the piracy of his marks—the penalty for any breac h of such order or inhibition to be imprisonment, as in the case of an injunction now granted by the Court of Chan eery.

A very fine race in, was won by a neck—the second beating the third the same distance—good fourth. Lady of Lyons was very restive, and was left at the post. On returning to scale, the rider of Nagara preferred a complaint against the rider of the Nina colt for swerving upon hire at the finish. At the conclusion of the races the case was brought before the Stewards, and, after hearing evidence, was dismissed. HANDICAP PLATE Ot 501., for 3-yr-olds and upwards. A.F.

Rifleman and Bonnie Morn were first off, but as soon as they got into running Re fraction colt took the lead, and on he gallopped with it until they arrived half-way between the new ground and the cords. Rifleman then shot to the front, and the race from that point was between him and Bonnie Morn, the latter was, however, beaten cleverly by half a length; three lengths separating the second from the third ; Cavalier was a bad fourth, Nagara fifth, Refraction colt sixth. After the race Rifleman was backed for nearly 1,0001. at 15 to 1 for the Derby ; the layers were, how ever,. willing to go on at those odds.

The sup ply of sport exceeded the First October's average, and the proceedings were marked by incidents of interest and importance. The list of attractions was materially strengthened by the introduction of the Eastern Counties Handicap into Tuesday's programme—a " feature" established by the liberality of the railway company whose designation it bears, and there is every probability that it will become highly popular. The most important and interesting race was for the Triennial Stakes for two-year-olds run this day. The encounter between Bonnie Morn and Rifleman excited peculiar interest, and the result is likely to exercise a marked influence over speculation on next year's Derby. At starting, 2 to 1 was freely betted on Bonnie Morn, and 3 to 1 agst Rifleman ; the latter, however, defeated the favourite cleverly by half a length. 15 to 1 was afterwards taken freely abciit him for the Derby, but it was reported that, en route to London, 20 to 1 was laid. Throughout the three days the betting on the Cesare witch and Cambridgeshire was remarkably limited. Muscovite was the only horse in demand for the former event • the latest quotation against him was 6 to 1 (taken). A continuance of brilliant weather heightened the en joyment of the sport. The racing to-day commenced at twelve o'clock, and terminated at two. A special train, provided for the sporting visitors, left Newmarket soon after three, and reached London by about half-past five. Notice—Barrel, Kennyside Hero, and Domino are struck out of their respectile engagements at Chester next week. NORTHALLERTON RACES.-THIIRSDAT. TEIAL STAKES.

RISE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—Yesterday a number of the bakers in the metropolis increased the price of their bread a halfpenny the 41b. loaf. In the poor and densely populated localities the ordinary price among the cheap bakers is now 70. for what is termed " best wheaten bread," and for " good wheaten bread," or " seconds," it is a halfpenny less ; but where competition among the bakers is keen, the former quality is fre quently to be bad for 7d. the 41b. lf. Other bakers are selling their limed at various prices up to 9d. the 41b. loaf. The corn chandlers are selling their flour at from 2s. 6d. to 3s. per peck of 14 pounds. FATAL MISADVENTURE OF A SOLDIER.—On Tuesday night, about nine o'clock, as a picket of the 51st regi ment of Infantry, at the Salford barracks, was passing the Regent-road bridge across the Irwell, into Manches ter, a private belonging to the same regiment, who is supposed to have been anxious to escape observation, crossed the battlements on one side the bridge and dis appeared. A policeman saw him get over the bridge, and an alarm was given. On searching the river-banks no trace of him was found. Yesterday morning, however, his lifeless body was discovered in the water, and there is little doubt that he lost his life immediately on crossing the wall. He ought to have been at the barracks at the time, and it is supposed that he either thought the bat tlemtnts of the bridge to be ordinary walls, and did not know there was a river below, or that he had gone over hoping to hold on whilst the picket was passing. Un fortunately the coping stones of the wall have rounded edges, leaving nothing for the hands to hold by, whilst there was no ledge outside, as in ordinary masonry of the kind, at the level of the road, upon which he could rest his feet. The man's name was Gornto M'Caffray, and he was 21 years of age. THE RESIGNATION OF TIM CANADIAN MINISTRY. — It would be difficult to point out another period in the history of Canada at which the chief offices of Govern ment have been vacated with so apparent a necessity for a great change, and yet with so much difficulty in supplying the wants of the public service. The announce ment was no sooner made yesterday that the Ministry had resigned, and that their resignation had been ac cepted, than the political vane was driven about by rumour to every quarter from which the public had been taught to look for the substance of an Administration. Sir Allan M`Nab, as the reported leader of the Op position, was, of course, said to be the member whom Lord Elgin empowered to form a Government, and, as that undertaking was known to be difficult at this crisis, the expectations of its success were not very sanguine. The names of various gentlemen of every shade in politics were successively bandied about as the future occupants of the Treasury benches, and in the same breath their invincible objections to take office were urged. The possibility of any other than a coin binetion Government not being dreamt of, conjecture was chiefly confined as to what fusion would most nearly respond to the wishes of the country. The uncertainty, however, which necessarily attaches to an attempt by any leader to form a Government at so short a notice was such as to induce even the acutest observer to sus pend his judgment. There is no doubt that, by mutual concession, a strong, and we trust harmonious, coalition cabinet may be to-day formed, a cabinet which is sure of a fair trial from the country, and, if deserving, of an independent but generous support.—Quebec Morning Chronicle. FATAL ACCIDENT ON LOUGH ERNE.—On Saturday, the 23d, as Arthur D'Arcy, fifth son of William D'Arcy, Esq., Necarn Castle, was sailing from home to his brother-ir .law's, Castle Caldwell, in his yacht the Eagle, the wind blowing strong, he lay to for the purpose of taking in another reef, when a squall came on and up set her more than two miles from any shore. Mr. D'Arcy and a sailor boy swam to a boat attached to the yacht, and were saved ; but unfortunately three others were drowned, supposed to bo in the cabin—Oliver, the sailor ; Samuel Moore, a builder ; and a servant-boy named Graham. Neither yacht nor an of the three Men were seen by Mr. D'Arcy or young Oliver when they reached the row-boat. About half-past six the accident happened. BANK Ul ? '' t.

DEANS, Registrar of Bank Returns. Inland Revenue, Somerset House, Sept. , 1854. 11,6 THE BYZANTINE COURT AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. — the arcade next the nave is from the church of St. Mary in the capital, at Cologne, one of the most interesting structures in what has been justly called the Rome of this side the Alps. The arcade probably belongs to the tenth century. The marblings and general decora tion of this side of the court are very creditable to Mr. Baensen, by whom they were executed. The ceiling of the cloister is an admirable piece of coloured decoration. The Shobden doors, the Kilpeck doors, the mosaics from St. John Lateran, at Rome, and the bronze doors from Hildesheim and Augsburg, are against the sides opposite to those shown in the view. The bronze doors, both of the eleventh century, are particularly interest ing. In passing round, notice the elegance of the ornament in the abacus of the capitals of the Shobden chancel arch, and some of the foliage in the Prior's door way, from Ely, thoroughly Greek in derivation. The whole of this Court will repay the most careful study ; but it is a source of mystification to many, who are unable to bring under one heading the works of various dates, characters, and countries which it includes. Some intelligent guides, not to say lecturers, are greatly needed in the Crystal Palace. Ale the present moment, it is scarcely possible to find any one to whom the simplest question can be addressed. If we had not been told differently, we should have imagined that the while board of directors, including the secretary, went out of town the week after the opening, and had never been heard of pine,-214 Builder.
