ONEY MARKET A ND f;011111:ERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY . , TU 0 O'CLOCK_ The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,000 American taken for export. The market closed firmly, without change in prices. The sales com prised 6,000 American, 1,000 Pernam and Maran ham at 6gd. to 7/d., 300 Egyptian at Gd. to Bd., and 800 Surat at 3d. to 4d., per lb. Railway Shares were dull. The six weeks' average price of wheat is 565. 9d. per quarter, and the last week's sales in the mar kets which govern the averages were 144,842 quarters. In a statement of the ships preparing to enter outwards in November for India, China, and Aus tralia, Mr. Miller gives again rather a long list for the Colonies, comprising altogether, 53,244 tons, of which 21,879 tons are for Victoria, 24,666 for New South Wales, 6,784 for S ,uth Australia, 7,433 for Van Diemen's Land, 1,895 for Western Australia. The failures in the provision and other trades here have already told in the United States, where several stoppages have occurred. At New York, Messrs. Gibson, Stockwell, and Co. have suspended, owing a large amount in the west to the farmers and hankers. In Vermont, J. and H. Peck and Co., H. W. Catlin, George Peterson, Smith and Landon, and H. Williams, had failed. We have on former occasions expressed our belief that fur ther difficulties would occur on the other side of the Atlantic, the pressure on the money market acting very in j uriously upon all firms that had traded beyond aeir own capital. The accounts, too, respecting the harvest are better from some of the States, and this may embarrass those who have been en tering into speculative purchases ; although we certainly think there will not be any great fall in the prices of wheat or Indian corn, seeing the opening which the English markets present. The demand for British manufactures is not likely to be so extensive next season as on former occasions, seeing the large sum in specie that has come from America. Accounts from Warsaw state that in Poland provisions were becoming scarce and dearer, owing to the concentration of so many troops. The magazines of coal established by the English Admiralty at Kiel are stated to be quite exhausted, and six steamers laden with the article were imme diately expected. Admiral Napier is at Hamburg, the guest of the British Consul-General. The system of telegraphic communication is now stretching out its arms in a way to embrace all the principal capitals of Europe. We pointed out re cently the completion of the line from Hamburg to St. Petersburg, and now we learn that, on the 24th ult., the wires were perfect from Madrid to Saragossa, Pampeluna, and St. Sebastian. Bar celona and Lerida are also to have lines connecting them with Saragossa. The letters received by the steamer from Brazil furnish some interesting commercial items, includ ing the following : 8/ 2s " The government is considering a bill for the opening •f the Amazon to all nations, and it has bought back the exclusive privilege which it granted some years ago to some of its citizens. It pays $55,000 per year for twenty years to get it back. It is now thought the bill will pass this session. A bill is also before the Chamber for the encouragement of fisheries, granting large boun ties, lands, houses, &c., for drying ; lifting all taxes, on vessels, and freeing them from all port d uties, &e. This will undoubtedly pass ; and when it is known that the rivers and bays of Brazil contain the finest fish in the world, and is great abundance, it will prove a great in ducement for foreigners to engage in them. The sugar crop will be far above the average this year. Coffee about common. For sveral months it has been dry in the province of Rio, which has injured the vegetables of all kinds. Business is rather dull ; the American trade hapi been unusually small the last year. The city of Rio has been visited with but a very few cases of yellow fever for the last eighteen months, and is now healthy." • - 50 St. 50 10 10 .The English Stock market is firmer, and with some increase of business. Consols have been 94i to 94 for transfer and account. The intelligence from Sebastopol being of a much more favourable character has inspired renewed confidence as to the issue. Exchequer-bills have been ss. to 93. prem. Fast India Stock is marked 231. Bank Stock is steady, at 211 to 2121. The New 31 per Cents. have been 931 to 93k, and the 3 per Cents. 931 to 93k.

Mexican Bonds have been done at 22i to 2, and Peruvian at 70i. Spanish 3 per Cents. are 38, and Portuguese 4 per Cents. 38. Russia 5 per Cents. are worth 95, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 90k to 90g. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 to 6; Mexi can, 22ft to 223 ; Peruvian, 70 to 72 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 51 to 52 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 95 to 97 ; ditto, 4i per Cents., 84 to 86 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18k to 181 ; ditto, 3 per Cents., 37i to 38i ; ditto, Certificates, 5 to 5i ; ditto, Passive, 4.1 to 4'4.

OPENING OF THE LATY COURTS. (THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Michaelmas Term, the Lord Mayor elect (Mr. Alderman Moon), attended by the Sheriff and various civic functionaries, waited upon the Lord Chancellor, at his residence, Upper Brook street, by appointment, at twelve o'clock, when his lordship announced in the usual form that her Ma jesty had been pleased to approve of the choice which the citizens of London had made for their chief magi strate for the ensuingyear. The Lord Mayer elect, who was introduced by the Recorder, afterwards joined the company which had assembled to partake of the dejeuner provided for the occasion, and he was warmly congra tulated by several of the judges and Queen's counsel upon his election. The state carriage and liveries of the Sheriff, which appear to be more costly than those of former years naturally attracted a good deal of attention, and drew a large concourse of people around the mansion of the Lord Chancellor. At the close of the breakfast the Lcrd Mayor Elect took his leave :of the Lord Chancellor and returned to the city, while the judges of the various Courts of Common Law and Chancery entered their different carriages and proceeded to Westminster Hall, where the term was opened in due form.

Lord Campbell, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Wightman, and Mr, Justice Erie took their seats on the bench. ROBERTiI .IND ANOTHER V. PHILLIPS. Mr. Wheatley applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be entered for the plaintiffs. It was an action of ejectment, tried at the last Gloucester assizes, when the jury found for the defendant, and the plaintiffs sought to recover pos session of a large qtantity of landed property, under a will executed by an illiterate person. The alleged defect in the will, which the testator signed by making his mark, was the attestation which was near the top, and not the bottom of the document, Application granted. EXCHEQUER. The Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Parke, and Mr. Baron Alderson took their seats on the bench shortly after two o'clock. BOYLE V. WISEMAN. Mr. James moved in this case for a rule to show cause why a new trial in this case, on the ground that the Lord Chief Baron, who had tried the case at Guild• ford, had improperly rejected secondary evidence of the contents of a document which could not be pro duced atthe trial. It will be remembered that this was an action of libel brought by a Roman Catholic priest against Cardinal Wiseman, and the libel comp Vined of was alleged to be contained in a letter which the Cardinal had written and caused to be published in tike Unzvers at Paris. The Cardinal, after the publication of the libel, admitted, in a letter to the Abbe Con yard, that he was the author ; but, the Abbe being beyond the jurisdiction of the Court refused to produce this admission, and it was proposed to put in secondary evidence, but the judge refused to receive it, as well as to allow the defendant to be examined, which was another ground urged for a new trial. The Court granted the application. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

VISIT OF THZ BAND OP THE FRENCH GUIDES TO THE BANK, TOWER, &c.—YesterdaY morning, about 11 o'clock, most of the members of the Band of the French Regiment of Guides proceeded in omnibuses—specially retained for the service—to visit the Bank, the Royal Exchange, the Tower, and the Docks, in all of which createdt they many passage i nstances ns ta along nce thes they were loudly cheered, and their salutations in return evinced a pure reciprocity of feeling. Many by preference went aloft, and they, consequently, became the admired and the admirers. It was somewhat unfortunate, however, that it was the first of November, and a true London fog set in at mid-day to counterbalance the last and finest day of October. The band are under orders to return to Paris on Friday. THE FRENCH GUIDES' BAND AT HIGHBURY BARN TAVERN..---The reception which the above celebrated band has met with from all classes during their brief sojourn in the metropolis must indeed tend to cement still stronger that excellent feeling which subsists between France and England. Perhaps one of the handsomest compliments that has been offered to this distinguished corps is that of the Grenadier Band, the members of which have invited them to a dinner and ball at the above establishment, to take place to-morrow (Friday). Such an expression of feeling on the part of Mr. Schott and his talented body of artistes must be highly appreciated by our French visitors. Mr. Hinton is making strenu ous exertions in order to give effect to the fete. DEATH FROM CHOKlNG.—Yesterday, Mr. W. Baker, received information respecting the death of a mariner, named Thomas Taylor, aged 53 years, who died from suffocation ; deceased was a man of intemperate habits. On Tuesday night, shortly after 9 o'clock, he returned home in a state of intoxication, and sat down with the landlady to supper, which consisted of boiled mutton. He had only been seated a few minutes, when a loud gurgling noise was heard, and when the females in at tendance ran to him, they found him breathing with difficulty, and quite black in the face. Mr. Garrett, the surgeon, examined the deceased, and found a larg e piece of meat firmly fixed in the gullet, whereby the d eceased had be oho! '& The body &Vigil as hatratst._ CO WES, ISLE OF WIGIIT.—Nor. 1. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPOND T.) STEAM GITS - -BOATS. The progress making with these vessels here is really surprising. We went into the Messrs. White's building yards yesterday to see if they were commenced, when we found the keell of the " Jasper" and " Grinder" not only on the blocks, but the frames together. The back yard seems all alive and in movement, from the number of men employed on these ships, and the others in course of construction. One fine ship, building on the diagonal principle, for J. Shepherd, Esq., has her name on her bows, " The Heroes of Alma." Just beyond is a ship building, we understood, for Messrs. J. E. Wheeler and Co., Oid Broad -street. In the Madeira-dock we noticed the large West India steam-ship " Tay," which they have lengthened, and she appears now nearly ready for sea. In the opposite yard they have a fine schooner yacht, of 180 tons, building for the Margins of Conyng ham. She is on the diagonal principle, and we believe the first yacht of the R.Y.S. so constructed. PATRIOTIC FUND. Every one is in a state of feverish excitement here about the progress of the war. The funds already sub scribed here for the widows and orphans amount to nearly 2001. THE WORKS OF CIRCUMVALLATION. The Moniteur de l'Armee contains the follow. ing 7 ‘ We have before us a sketch of the works of cireum vallation, executed by the army now engaged in the siege of Sebastopol, and without pretendingto give our readers a perfectly correct idea of them, we will describe them as summarily as possible. It must first be recollected that the place is not defended on the side of the attack by regular works. The southern side being lined with inaccessible rocks, the engineers charged with fortifying Sebastopol never dreamt of the possibility of a landing in that direction. There is consequently no enceinte continue properly speaking. The town, however, is protected on that side by a crenellated wall, with a ditch and some advanced earth works, hastily thrown up, and which the garrison has actively laboured to complete, since the bold manoeuvre by which, after the battle of the Alma, the allied troops moved from the north to the south of the place. At some distance in front of those works stand three large towers, faced with masonry, communicating together by works provided with bastions, forming a kind of imperfect half moon. The portion of the city thus attacked by the allied army contains the barracks and the prison, situate at its highest point. To the east is the harbour, and beyond it the quarter inhabited by the seamen, against which the English attack is particularlydirected. To the west are a cemetery and the lazaretto, opposite the French line of attack. The three towers are in ad vance of those positions, and it is on them the fire of our batteries must first be brought to bear. The line of circlnivallation forms a sort of semicircle, the left of which rests on the bay of Chersonesus, where we landed our siege materiel. The right extends to the river Tchernaya, in advance of the road, by which the army marched upon Balaklava, when it turned th e c it y. I ndependently of the half-moon formed by, the towers, the French army will have to silence the forts of Alexander and the Quarantine, erected for the defence of the place on the sea side. They, however, also protect the south, and it will be necessary to silence their fire." THE NEW IRON BARRACKS. We read in a letter from Boulogne, of the 29th Octo ber : " The iron barracks ordered in London for the four camps have been disembarked this week. They are each 35 metres long and 11 wide, and are composed of five or six hundred plates of cast or sheet iron, and of wood. The supports are in iron ; the roof is formed of grooved pieces of the same metal, numbered and joined to gether by screws, with wooden window frames. There is a stove attached to each ; the cast iron is galva nised to protect it from rust. 'We have been assured by a very competent judge (an Englishman) that these bar racks, of quite a novel construction, are of great solidity, adding that they might last 200 years. Each barrack will cost about 3001. It is said that eight or ten have been ordered for the four camps at Boulogne. Those destined for the camp of Helfaut will be sent to Calais and conveyed thence by rail to St. Omer. These iron buildings, which have been for some time in use in Eng land, will, it is to be hoped, excite the emulation of our iron -masters, who, after examining them, will be able to enrich their owa country by imitating these specimens of British industry. The cost of these barracks is to be defrayed by the Emperor's civil list." LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, Nov. 2.—Wind this day at Noon, B.E. ; I light airs, and hazy weather. PORTSMOUTH, Nov.

The first communications by the electric telegraph between Madrid, Panipeluna, and St. Sebastian were conveyed on the 23d ult. In a few days this line is to be connected with that of Irun and Bayonne. Two of the Emperor Napoleon's Ministers are ill in Paris at this moment—M. Billault, Minister of the In terior, and M. Binean, Minister of Finance, who has lost his voice. APPOINTMENT. —The Bishop of Manchester has col lated the Rev. John Howard, curate of St. Luke's, Chorlton-upon-Medlock, to the perpetual curacy of Goodshaw, near Rawtenstall, vacant by the death of the Rev. James Bell. SEIZURE OF " PUNCR" AT BERLIN.—BERLIN, Oct. 29. _Yesterday Punch was seized here for containing the parody of Arndt's celebrated song, "What is the Ger man's Fatherland !" The postage on letters to and from Canton, Shanghai, and all parts of China, has been reduced to 6d. a letter. RNEvr YORK.—The commercial accounts from New York yesterday are again on the whole more favourable, although some additional failures have taken place, the principal being that of Messrs. Gibson, Stockwell, and Co. This house was l a r g el y engaged in the western provision trade, and its liabilities are very heavy. It had been established only three or four years, and much of the loss will fall on the producers in the west and the banks in Ohio and Indiana. Several firms had likewise suspended in the State of Vermont, including J. and H. ' Peck and Co., for a rather large amount, H. IT. Catlin, George Peterson, Smith and Landon, and H. Williams. The committee of investigation for the Erie Railroad had made their report, and the stock had improved in consequence, the opinion of the committee being favour able to the present management, although a long train of previous errors and falsifications have been exposed. The total cost of the line proves to have been 7,000,0001., but the capital stock is only 2,000,0001., and the net earnings of the past year, after paying interest en bonds and all charges, are shown to have amounted to 150,0001., being equal to a dividend to the stockholders of 71 per cent. During the next year an increase is ex pected, but the committee recommend that the con struction account should be closed as soon as possible, that the fares should be raised, that no dividend should bo declared till the floating debt is paid off, and Qat AB independent oinking fund obould be established. THE .P4T.RIOTIC FUND. MARYLEBONE. A public meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Marylebone, convened lo pursuance ofa requisition to the churchwardens, was held yesterday in the Court house, M ar yi e b one -l ane , to assist in promoting the Patriotic Fund instituted by royal commission for the widows and or ph ans o f our so ldi e rs and sailors falling in battle during the war. Mr. Clement George, one of the churchwardens, presided. The meeting was nume rously attended, and the company included some of the most influential residents in the parish. Lord WODEHOUSE moved a resolution to the effect that the meeting cordially approved of the Royal Com mission appointed for accumulating a fund for the widows and orphans of our soldiers, sailors, and marines who fall in battle or in other casualties arising out of the war. The resolution having been seconded, Sir BENJAMIN HALL, ALP., said—Having met there for the purpose of raising a fund fo r th e re li e f o f th e widows and o r ph ans of our soldiers and sailors who might fall in the impending struggle with Russia, there were many subjects which might be touched on in such a meeting, but there were only two on which he should venture to address them. They were now about to promote, not only a fund for the relief of those who might lose their dearest friends and connections, and who might thus be deprived in many instances of the source of subsistence, but they were going to relieve anxious and thinking minds. Time and space were now anni hilated. By the efforts and ingenuity of man news could arrive from 'all parts of the known world in so shorta space of time that it might be counted by seconds. And what was the consequence of those telegraphic communications ? What occurred every short time ago in reference to a regiment connected with a locality to which he himself was identified ?—he meant the 23d Regiment of Welsh Fusiliers—perhaps one of the most noble, certainly one of the most gallant, that ever went into a field of battle—(cheers)—which bad shown its gallant bearing in the Peninsular, and especially at Wa terloo, and which was the first that was put forward in the attack at the Alma. The telegraph stated that only three officers of that regiment were left alive. That was on the 7th of October ; he (Sir B. Hall) went down to the country that day, and when the train stopped at Winchester, anxious inquiries were made of him as to the truth or falsehood of that statement, but no further information could be given. When be arrived at Broad lands, on a short visit to Lord Palmerston, the parent of one of the officers of the regiment came in the greatest anxiety to know if his son was one of the three who were stated to have survived ; but no information could be had until the Sunday evening, when they received the special edition of The Sun newspaper of that day, which told them that his son was no more. But if those feelings agitated persons in that rank of life, would it not be wicked is them to suppose that they were not partici pated in to the full by those of another class of society ? In addition to the anxiety of a wife or child of a private soldier as to what might be the fate of the husband or father, suppose they had that great anxiety and suspense heightened by not knowing what might happen to them if the husband or father should die in battle ? To alle viate that suspense and anxiety they were assembled in public meeting that day, in the wealthiest district of the wealthiest empire in the world, and he hoped the result would be a magnificent proof alike of their wealth and their patriotism. He believed, with the noble lord (Lord Wodehouse), that it was very desirable that feel ings of humanity should be shown on this occasion, and that their bounty should be exhibited both in public and in private ; and he himself might say, in reference to that gallant regiment with which he was more connected by ties of feeling and of patriotism, and in which some of his best friends held commissions, he was anxious, independently of any feeling in that di rection, that this meeting, of a public character, should, as far as possible, confine itself to the public object in view, and that he was quite sure, if they set aside some of their own private feelings, and gave what they could to the general public object, under the guidance of the Go vernment, the money would be well apportioned and duly administered. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Lord ROILEBY moved the next resolution, pledging the meeting, collectively and individually, to use its best exertions to carry out the objects of the royal com mission. The resolution was carried with acclamation. Mr. GREENWELL (the secretary) then read over the list of subscriptions made at the meeting, and the pro ceedings terminated. ST. JOHN'S WOOD.—An adjourned meeting of the in habitants of St. John's-wood, in aid of the Patriotic Fund, was held at the Eyre Arms last evening, when Professor Creasy was called to the chair. Mr. L. Pugh moved and Mr. Alfred Watts seconded a resolution, " That the committee be requested to wait personally on the inhabitants," which was also agreed to. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. Meetings have also been held at Hastings, Bath, Bridgwater, Torquay, Witbycombe Raleigh, Hayle, and BANQUET TO CAPTAIN M'CLURE, THE ARCTIC NAVIGATOR. HASTINGn, Tuesday.—Last night a banquet was given at the Swan Hotel, by the Mayor, magistrates, and gentry of Hastings and its vicinity, to Captain M'Clure, the discoverer of the North-west Passage, on his return to this borough, in which he had previously resided for many years. The dinner was served in the large room of the hotel, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and hung with the flags of England, France, and Turkey, and the arms of the Cinque Ports. Covers were laid for upwards of 200 persons. Amongst those pre ent we observed—The Worshipful the Mayor, Mr. P. R.)bertson, the member for the borough of Hastings ; the Rev. J. Hatchard, the Rev. J. Wallis, Mr. G. Scrivens (banker), Mr, W. Crake, Captain Drake, R.N., Captain O'C , tllaglian, Mr. J. G. Langham, Mr. C. P. Hutchings, Mr. F. Ticehurst, Mr. F. Smith, Mr. A. Barton, Mr. John Phillips, Mr. R. Ransom, Mr. J. Tucker, Mr. Breeds, Mr. Williams, Mr. G. Clement, Dr. M`Cabe, &c. The worshipful the Mayor presided. The usual loayal toasts having beea drunk with all the honours, The President proposed "The Health of the Bishop of Chichester and - the Clergy of the Diocese," coupled with the healths of the Rev. Mr. Hatchard and the Rev. Mr. Wallis, who returned thanks in appropriate terms. The President then proposed the toast of the evening, the health of the gallant captain who had that night honoured them with his presence, having just returned to the place of his adopted home—the town of Hastings. They could not but feel proud of welcoming once more the intrepid discoverer of the North-west Passage— (applause)—a discovery which nothing but the most persevering courage could have enabled him to attain. (Applause.) He would call on the company to drink " The Health of that great navigator, Captain lq‘Clure." The toast having been most enthusiastically drunk, Captain M'Clnre rose, amidst loud applause, to re turn thanks. He thanked them for the honour they had done him ; but he felt unable in consequence of a severe cold and extinction of voice, to express - his feelings on this occasion. During his long l i esidena in Hastings he had ever, under all circumstances, met with the greatest kindness and attention. The gallant cap tain was proceeding to describe his arrival in the Prince of Wales Straits, and his stay there during the years 1850 and 1851, when he was, in consequence of hoarse ness, utterly unable to proceed, and was interrupted by Dr. M'CABE, who said that, seeing that Captain M'Clure was suffering so severely, he was sure his friends would excuse him from proceeding further with his speech as it might entail upon him a serious and lasting injury. (although not publicly stated, it was understood that Captain M'Clure's indisposition was the result of an attack induced by the rigorous climate of the Polar regions.) The PRESIDENT then gave the toast of "The Army and Navy," apologising for having omitted it in the usual routine, and coupling it with the name of Captain Drake, one of the heroes of Trafalgar, to which that gal lant gentleman returned thanks in appropriate terms. Captain O'CALLAGHAN returned thanks on behalf of the army. Other toasts having been drunk and duly honoured, the company separated at a late hour. 50 25 122 12 20 6 10 bt.

A public meeting of the electors of Abingdon was called on Tuesday evening, in the County-hall, by Major J. Haythorne Reed, another candidate, who has made his appearance in the liberal interest. Major Reed issued his address to the electors about a week ago, and since that time he has followed the example of one of the other candidates—Mr. Norris —in actively canvassing the borough, preparatory to addressing the electors in public. The meeting in the County-hall was numerously at tended. Major Reed, who appeared to occupy quite an independent position, was unaccompanied by any friends, and, at his reqaest, the meeting selected for themselves a, chairman, the gentleman being a non-voter —Mr. Williams, of Northcote. Major REED entered into a statement of the reasons which had induced him to offer himself as a can didate for the borough ; and having proceeded to say as to the p re t ens i ons o f th e o th er h on . candidate (the Hon. J. W. Fortescue), he was so intimately thatimately c onnected with the Tre a sury as to renderit likely hisc o c supportted would in all instances be afforded to the nistratioa ; and although he (Major Reed) n e at the present time, it was the duty of every man to strengthen think m the electors of Abingdon would approve, presentb e l believed d A that,dmi y man who was pre eould not approve, r o handsve nor of d i t d h e h Administration, d i s tr at io n , still r t . ) Ia r e o n g t h t h t e h i p c k r e s a e n u d t pthairne,d t e b l an n o d y ly m 't i o n i s g t i r v y e . hi (sHseuof a a p v po n b it e a , Cabinet there might be some judicious modifications w w e hi should n ever e n ever have been W scthe,o should h all u l o d th b e e r s r , ai h s e ed t o desired the H t o o s u e s e e , ewffaese tthated ; an Lordd one r which, Palmerston hn er i nof Peers and put a t the head of . the Gover nment.

(Cheers.) The gallant candidate declared himself favourable to an extension of the suffrage, to keep pace with the increasing intelligence of the industrious °lasses. He also approved of some mode of preventing the undue intimidation of the electors. To secure that object he would not object to grant the ballot where constituencies i !aiglat Ogre it. lit goo tanotmood hip willinnosii if __ elected, to exert himself in obtaining a branch railway for the convenience of the inhabitants of Abingdon. Mr. FALKNXR inquired what the opinions of the hon. gentleman were with respect to the Maynooth grant Major REED said he was averse to the application of public moneys for religious purposes. (Cheers.) At the same time, the Maynooth grant had certain advantages —one of which was the education of priests with some proper appreciation of our country and respect for our government, which was better than importing them front ultramontate continental countries. At the same time, he considered that, it the grant to Maynooth was to be , continued, it should be paid out of the Irish Consoli dated Church Fund, which was rich enough to pay that . or a ny other grant. (Hear, hear.) No other questions were put, and the proceeding. terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 1. HEBREW.

The copy of which is herewith also enclosed. We bad reason to be surprised at the share in the re sponsibility attributed to us in it (l'espece de solidarit6 qu'on nous y octroie, with respect to the declarations pre viously made by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, and which I thought it my duty to decline, by the despatch. ad :reseed to Baron Werther, a copy of which is sub joined. Tue two copies in question are chiefly intended for the personal information of your Excellency, but I must leave to you the option of mentioning them in the course of your conversations with Lord Clarendon. This Mi nister will be enabled to convince himself by the manner in which I have expressed myself to Baron Werther on the subject of the four points, that without regarding them as the exclusive basis of all negotiation, and con sequently without meaning to contract fresh obliga tions in this respect, the King, our august master, is nevertheless of opinion that they are calculated to serve as a nucleus for some future arrangement, and that in this point of view his Majesty is, and always will be, ready to grant them his moral support. By doing so he manifests the value be sets on proving and maintaining within the limits traced out by the interests of Prussia, his concurrence with the joint efforts of the Powers towards the attainment of a prompt but lasting peace. More than once I have informed your Excellency that it is not the King's Cabinet that is opposed to the re assembling of the four representatives at Vienna, and if I feel bound to state it over again to you now, it is for the purpose of adding, that should the other Powers desire in the slightest degree a resumption of the conference, the King would not hesitate to record in his protocols a declaration in the sense above men- tinned. This, however, while assuring to the four points the moral support and the good offices of Prussia, would at the same time unmistakeably show that she re. cognises no contracted obligation of enforcing them by any military co-operation against Russia. Your Excellency will have the kindness to inform Us of the use you will have deemed it right to make of these observations, and of the manner in which they may have been received. —Receive, &c., (Signed) VON MANTE UM.

Ia consequence of the darkness of the night, the want of a bridge to cross a river, and the difficulties of a route, full of prickly plants, their arrival took place i n detached parties. They give an account of the miserable condition of the insurgents, who are with out money, without armaments, and without enthu siasm. They suffered daily a serious desertion from their number, and are deficient in the first neces saries of life ; if it were not from the strong position occupied by Castilla, and from the constant vigilance employed, the faction controlled by him would long since have dissolved.
