The Caledonia steamer arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday morning, after encountering strong gales. The intelligence which she brings is of the most meagre description. The contest for the Presidency was going on in the United States, but without much excitement. Mr. CLAY, it was generally anticipated, would he the successful candidate. The elections were going on in Canada with various 4-4 e, • " 41. ,96 V , 4 ' • * 6 - 4 7 \ • r • ,•• lit D 1. • m 131 .4 . •, 4 • ciTt,..l4.' success. A Gazette Extraordinary contains the formal ap• pointment of Mr. VIGER to be President of the Exe cutive Council, and of Mr. SHERWOOD to be Solicitor- General for Canada East. It seems that under the new arrangements this latter office does not command a seat in the Cabinet. The Hon. W. DE BLEURY, and the Hon. W. MOFFITT, are the Constitutional candidates for the city of Montreal. The latest par ticulars of election movements in Lower Canada is decidedly favourable to the Constitutional party. The cotton trade in the United States was very dull. txchange on London, 1091 to 110; Paris, sf. 221 c. to sf. 211 c. We find, in the last files of American papers which have reached us, very intelligible indications of a desire, on the part of some of their conductors and correspondents, to get up an Anti-English ex . - citement—in humble imitation of that which has been cultivated with so much success in Paris, and in other of the prime cities of the departments of France. The American article, however, is a clumsy and ill-devised affitir. Its spurious metal and coarse workmanship are developed on the surface. There is no glitter and finish about it, to make it pass, ahnost, fur the gold of truth itself—like the clever Parisian counterfeits stamped "English perfidy" and " aggres sion," with the details so minutely and circumstan tially made out that they stagger the most deter mined incredulity. The mint of a petty, vindictive jealousy, a morbid and quarrelsome envy, is alone apparent on the face of the American fabrications, unqualified by the astute and masterly suggestions of vraisetablance which the h an d o f th e F renc h " de signer': so skilfully introduces into his work. We have, in, the Jornal do Comercio (of Rio Janeiro), details of an affair, in which the skipper of the be Cyrus, of New Orleans, describes himself as having been overhauled, off Cabinda b 11: i r l. 11 .h 1A.TEsTys brig of war the Alert, on a suspicion, own account tends to show h ' arl elver the skipper's,' probability which appearances and his conduct could give it, of which this the Cyrus being, in some way or other, with a slave-trading venture. The course ' transaction took, according to the master of the m Yankee craft (whose account only is, as yet, before I us), was this : — On Captain BOSANQUET, of th e Alert, insisting on coming on board—the skipper (Dumas) tried to intimidate him by a little small shot of the jus gentium kind—he vowed that " a protest should be made for the captain's violation of the treaty !" The captain, very properly, persevered, went down the hold, and finding "nothing but water ballast" (a suspicious preparation enough for a slaving cruize), desired to see Dumas's papers. DUMAS, after some expressions of personal impertinence to the British officer, refused to produce them, and made a speech very much after the style of some PAUL JONES in a melodramatic spectacle at ASTLEY'S. Captain BOSANQUET, taking no heed of this balder dash, said he must now go into the cabin and make further search ; and that he believed the Cyrus had been sold. Hereupon Dumas (who must certainly have dabbled in small theatricals) got up a tableau vivant after this fashion :—" Immediately I placed the American flag before the cabin door, which was held tight by myself, the mate, and two of my men ; an I I observed to him that he could not step into the cabin without trampling on the United States flag." (T. P. COOKE could not have done the thing more handily.) "The answer was, It made no difference to him ;' and he rushed into the cabin, followed by his officer and a negro, who trampled the flag under their feet, in presence of my crew." (The negro is a capital hit, in an appeal to a Yankee public in a Southern State.) " Then I said, 'Boys our flag is insulted. It will cost dear to the English na tion.' " (! !) The three seditious tailors who hung out in Tooley-street a brown paper placard, com mencing, " We, the people of England," and signed it with their own signatures, were modest and rea sonable men compared to this " awful smart" skipper, who thus devotes the whole English nation to the vengeance of the United States, for the disrespect shown to his little bit of stage property and decora tions, so uncivilly treated after the manner he had himself challenged. A demand for his log-book is met, in a like vein of - ranting bombast—but the sequel is rich. The skipper and his crew had seen the British officer, his mate, and one negro, go down the hold—in spite of their protest and Dumas's foolery—and overhaul and return. But now—the Yankee boys fall back, on the skipper's desiring them to stand to their arms—" handspikes and knives"— and the captain of her MAJESTY'S ship Alert turned pale (! !), and, with the voice of a coward (!), said, " Stop your men. I don't want to see any bloodshed or butchery !" Whether Captain BOSANQUET, with that humanity so constantly allied to the calm, but intrepid, courage of our service, did make any ob servation with a view to avert the inevitable destruc tion in which the men must have involved themselves by more active resistance, or whether this speech se attributed to him be matter of pure invention, we need not inquire. The deliberate and palpable false hood of the noisy ruffian who tells this impudent story, has probably been an after-thought, to resent some personal chastisement administered—or some contemptuous notice taken, and exposure, of his in solence, by Captain BOSANQUET. The latter taking away his papers, maugre all the death-and-glory vaunting of the redoubtable JONATHAN DUMAS (who had just before sworn 'to die, in that event, "with the ensign-halliards in his hands," the New Orleans skipper bethought him of a " tarnal 'cute" move, to found a grand claim on the English Government for compensation, to a tune which all the ventures of the Cyrus would never have' come up to. So, he says, " Thereupon me and my crew abandoned her, leaving everything on board—trunks, chronometer, instru ments," &c. Now, the pendant to all this is amusing enough, "if true," as they say in the States; for another account adds—" The Cyrus had been sold to some Portuguese traders, who, immediately after the skipper and crew had quitted, filled her with slaves." How very remarkable a coincidence that the Cyrus should have had, when boarded by Captain BOSAN • QUET, "nothing but water ballast in her ;—no thing else !" Was the water intended for the slaves ? Or were the slaves procured to consume the water ? From an amusing article in the Boston Daily Times, with the taking heading . in capitals of " One Thousand Mexican Tents Manufactured in Boston," we learn, that in consequence of a statement made by that journal, in September last, "that a mercantile house in Boston had contracted to supply this number of tents to the Mexican Government within 30 days, and that the contract was understood to have been made through British agency ;"—a real State func tionary—a Mr. DEXTER, " United States District At torney"—had written a most affable letter to the 1, • 1 m • „ , • - - -- - 1.111, part of the Secretary of State, with any evidence that could be furnished to prove this fact. The editor, with much self-complacency and solemnity, does ac cordingly deliver himself of his information, from whence it results that the house referred to was that of GREELY and GUILD, of Boston ;—the vessel that carried off the tents, the Ramon de Baldo;—and the instrument of payment was a draft on the great house of BARING, BROTHERS, and Co., in this country. "The whole case is one," writes the Boston Times, " which reflects no honour upon the 4 liberal' institu tions of our country. We should like to know 4 by what right' Mexico or England fits out munitions of war in our city, and manufactures and exports in our very midst the means of defeating the gallant little republic of Texas, which is striving to maintain its national independence against the despotic Govern ment of Mexico and the insidious and grasping power of England ?" This is really pretty well for the Boston Daily Times, which could see • no impropriety in the permitted transport of arms, cannon, and other ordnance and ammunition, over the United States' frontiers into Canada, with the avowed object of assisting and abetting the revolt of Canadian subjects of Great Britain. VAN RANSLAER and the other brigands did not imagine, as the Yankee editor does, that oiled-skin tents were the sort of " means for defeating an enemy ;" but plundered the arsenals of their own Government for more available muni tions of war to be used against the Britishers. But let that fact—and the talk of " liberal institutions" in juxta-position with the ill-concealed and rancorous prejudice against England which pervades the whole article—let them pass. We will answer the editor's question by reminding him that Mexico and Great Britain are allies. But the United States and Mexico are also under similar friendly relations. Mexico herself has never recognised the independence of her revolted province of Texas. There can be no sort of doubt, therefore, on any principle of the law of nations, that the Mexican Government had a perfect right to order the Boston house of business a perfect right to manufacture —and any British agency a perfect right to negotiate the payment for—these oiled-skin tents for the ser vice of Mexico. To Mexico, Texas stands not in the light of a " gallant little republic fighting for its na tional independence," but of a tumultuary and li centious portion of the Mexican dominions, the de facto Government and the people of which, so far from having any feelings of national independence to plead in their justification, have long been, and are, at this moment, trying to execute a dishonest sale and transfer of their allegiance, and consequently a merger of all national identity, as well as rights, on their part, to the Federation of the United States, whereof they desire to form a component element. Now, it is very true that we may be attaching too much importance to these " explosive materials" of Yankee excitability. But we look to the evil animus with which they are scattered about, not to the kn.. mediate amount of mischief they may be calculated to work ; and we are of opinion that such indications should be noted in time, however absurd their ori, gin. The late public meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League at Manchester, while it has roused the bile of all the Monopolist journals, has had the effect of wringing the following reluctant acknowledgment of its great moral influence from the Morning Post, in answer to a flippant remark in the Herald; that it was fast declining in public estimation :—" Our honest Contemporary has, within these six months repeat edly proclaimed, that the League had died a natural death. Not only, however, has its spirit been without intermission active in the economical policy of our Conservative Ministers, but the League itself—the extinguished League—the League which, according to the Herald, all men despised and had abandoned—is once more openly in the field of agitation. The leaders of the Conspiracy have made their influence felt in more than half the Borough Registration Courts in the kingdom; and they are now preparing t o wres t f rom l an d owners that pre ponderating power which they have hitherto exercised in cou nties. Does th e H era ld d eny that the League p ossesses the power of multiplyi ng , a l most without li m it, forty-shilling freeholders in a ma- jority of English counties ? No, our worthy Contemporary may not venture to deny that the dead' League is more full of vitality than ever, nor that the power of the landed aristocracy of England totters on all sides." This unequivocal testimony to the fast increasing political influence of the Anti- Corn-law League is the more valuable, as proceeding from a journal which has always been conspicuous by its uncompromising hostility to the principles of Free Trade. From the first establishment of the League down to its last great meeting at Manchester, who so decided as the Post in its opposition to it? Who treated it with such supercilious contempt? Who threw such unmitigated ridicule on its proceedings ? Who so warmly repudiated the notion that it would ever be able to gain a settled influence over men's minds, or become a •really dangerous antagonist to Mono poly ? Not two years—nay, not six months = since, nothing could be more loftily contemptuous than our Contemporary's language, when speaking of the Anti- Corn-Law League and its members. Mr. COBDEN was a mere vulgar, uninstructed cotton-spinner —a man of one idea, and that one a humbug; and, as for Mr. BRIGHT, he was a political quack of the first water, who supplied by impudence what he wanted in ability—a long-eared Ignoramus worthy only to bray in Brobdignag, or play the part of a Professor in SWIFT'S flying island of Laputa. Talk of such men—the Post used to observe in its most trenchant style—ever gaining an influence over the mind of the community, or giving a shake to the proud fabric of Monopoly ! The idea is perfectly preposterous, and can be seriously entertained by none but fools and madmen ! Such was our Contemporary's language but one short year ago, or even less. But now, how changed his manner—howcrest-fallen his spirit—how meekly sub dued his tone ! The Confederacy that he once des pised, he has at length learned to treat with deference. lie now dreads what he formerly ridiculed. Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT have ceased to be mere brawl ing, uninfluential quacks in his estimation. He now discovers that they are men of tact—of energy—of perseverance—" the undoubted authors"—we quote his own words—" of the clamour for agricul tural improvement, and of the conversion of England into a corn-exporting country ;" and if they be inconsistent and self-contradictory, "it may not be impossible"—urges our Contemporary in their de fence—" to point out self-contradictions on the part of other public men not less startling than those which Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT have found so profit able." Here is a change of sentiment with a ven geance ! Not a mere partial reform, but a regular revolution, in opinion ! But we are far from de siring to blame the Post for this alteration in its tone, as regards the League and its members. On the contrary, we respect our Contemporary for his can dour—for his manly, though, doubtless, reluc tant, surrender of a prejudice in obedience to the prornptings of common sense and jus tice—for hia acknowledgment of the increasing power of the Anti-Corn-law Confederacy and the decreasing power of the Monopolist landholders. We fear, however, that it must have been with an exceedingly wry face that he bore the above testi mony to the influence of the Leaguers in the Regis tration Courts ; and sure we are that he must have twisted and' twirled and wriggled, like a half skinned eel in the hands of a fish-wife, before he could have brought himself to speak = we here again quote his own words—of the " mighty progress which the League is making!" " Mighty progress !" The expression is a striking one, but not in the slightest degree exaggerated. The League is making " mighty progress;'' and the day is not far distant when Sir ROBERT PEEL--true to his favourite system of expediency—will cry Peccavi at its dictation, and yield submissively to its autho ritative demand for a Repeal of the Corn-laws. The Madrid journals of the 22d instant contain a great many rumours, and stories of plots and con spiracies, for which there may be some good founda tion, for it would be singular if the Spaniards, who look upon a pronunciarniento followed by a rebellion as matters of amusement, should allow the old Con stitution to be smothered without raising even one cry in its behalf. The Heraldo publishes a letter from Valladolid, which asserts that a conspiracy has been discovered in that town, the object of which was to proclaim the Constitution of 1812, and to prolong the minority of the QUEEN trio - m were Military men, had been arrested. The northern provinces were also said to be in a most unsatisfactory state. Carlist refugees were constantly entering the Spanish territory in spite of the authorities.. It was added that 25,000 muskets were ready to be introduced into Navarre, upon the breaking out of the first disorder. A letter from Perpignan of the 19th states, that orders were given on that day for the formation of a cordon upon the frontiers. It was said that Senor SALAMANCA had bought the palace of Buen Vista from the the Prince of PEACE, for four millions of reals. It is intended for the future residence of MARIA CHRISTINA and MuNoz, when their marriage is acknowledged. A dotation of four millions of reals per annum and the title of Majesty are to be confirmed to the Queen-Mother. On the 22d an indictment was brought against the Espectador journal, for a libel on the Government, when a verdict. of acquittal was returned by eight votes against four. This will give an additional impulse to the determination of NARVAEZ and Co. to put down trial by jury. The decision was loudly applauded. The Three per Cents. closed at 26 3-16 at sixty days ; Five per Cents., 20 at sixty days ; Passive Debt, 6 cash. GUIZOT'S paper, the Globe, has at last spoken out without reserve on the new Spanish Constitution. It adopts it altogether, and sees hr it one great beauty, a twin-likeness not to the French Constitution of 1830, but that of the present. The French Foreign Minister evidently had a large share in the labour of reconstructing the edifice, and we live it will do him credit. The Spanish people are so lost to all sense of real freedom, patriotism, and honour, that other States begin to look upon them with an apathy bordering on contempt, and regret no experiment that can be tried to put down insurrections without an object, and re volutions which, as they follow each other, only become more fatal to free institutions. The Globe thus winds up an article in defence, evidently infer ring, and possibly with truth, that the Spaniards prefer slavery to freedom :—" It must not be supposed that we are of opinion that no Constitution is neces sary in Spain, merely because that country is Monar chical and Catholic. She must have a Con stitution, but it must be Monarchical and Catholic ; Catholicism must be declared the religion of the State, and the sovereignty of the people must be expunged from the Consti tution. Has the Spanish Government gone too far in this course—has it really proposed an unreasonable Monarchical reaction ? Persons who entertain such an opinion cannot have read the Bill. The sove reignty of the people is effaced, and, as the basis of the Constitution , is given, the unanimous will of the Monarch and the representatives of the nation. Such are the expressions of the preamble. -- Can anything be more moderate ? Is it not rather French than Spanish ? The Government consents to a life peerage in a country in which the institution of hereditary nobility is still in its force. This aleo is more French than Spanish. We comprehend, besides, the reserve of the Spanish Cabinet in its reform of the Constitution. It has been anxious to give effect to French ideas, whilst it was acting for old Spain. It has had an eye to the future. The reformed Consti tution is still in advance of the nation, but it indi." cates the object to be attained by the nation, and to which, without doubt, it will attain. If there should he any tumult in Spain in consequence of this reform, we may be sure that the people will have nothing to do with it. Agitators will have laid hold of the reform as a pretext to satisfy their ambition. The people will not fire a musket for their own sove reignty; they would sooner do so for the sovereignty of Don CARLOS." The Carlist QuoVienne takes a very different view of the affair, and in the same spirit which ani mated the Jacobite ballads of Scotland, proclaims that there will be no peace in Spain till CARLOS is installed in the Escurial : " The men, who at this moment think they can re establish a monarchical Government in Spain by en t deavourin g t o efface from its C o n s tit u ti o n th e principles of revolution, are undeceived in the most striking manner even by the very factions who are contending for power. To men who have shouted 'Long live Narvaez !' other men reply with acclamations of Long live Espartero !' and should Espartero set his foot 04 :toy one point of ' 7 the Spanish territory, he would find partisans and draw to himself troops, and a new Pronunciamiento would at once put in jeopardy both reform and reformers. In what position then is the monarchy in a country where its Constitution and its Government are thus at the mercy of two rival influences—where the sword of two warriors, superior to the sceptre itself, must decide the destiny of the State? We have teen amongst ourselves formerly in the times of minority and regency conten tions of ambition between our great men ; but the Con stitution of the State was never shaken, and every one knew that on the day when the King should take the reigns of Government into his own hands, the moral authority of his royal rights would at once restore peace to the , country. In Spain the monarchy, although at its majority, is without its due power, because in that martial country the disastrous attempt of combining usurpation with the distaff is being tried. In Spain, at this moment, the real Sovereign is Narvaez, to-morrow it may be Espartero, and nothing but civil war can be the consequence of this perpetual rivalry. One is not less revolutionary than the other, and for both the sword is the ultimo ratio of Government. In a country where the passions are so easily inflamed, where adven turous and warlike men are always so prompt in having recourse to the terrible arbitrament of trial by battle, law and justice ^^ust interpose - between the champions who are contending for power. Nuw justice protests against the will of Ferdinand,' and the royal right, as regards both - Narvaez and Espartero, is not at Madrid, but at Bourges." The Senate, as will be seen from the following telegraphic dispatch received at Paris, has made quick work of the address : "MADRID, OCT. 25. " The discussion on the address was terminated this morning in the Senate. The paragraphs of the project of the Committee were adopted almost unanimously." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers. The Presse says : "It is known that when M. Guizot received from the hands of M. Martinez de la Rosa, the Spanish Ambassa dor in Paris, the Order of the Golden Fleece, several de corations of the Legion of Honour were given to the Ministers and other important personages of Spain ; but in this number M. Martinez de la Rosa was not included, although he was certainly not less entitled to it than them. This omission can only be explained, by sup posing that the Government imagined that the Grand Cordon Rouge of the Order of Christ of Portugal, which M. Martinez de la Rosa wore at the time of the inves titure of M. Guizot, was that of the Legion of Honour. " The Governor of the Island of Bourbon opened the session of the Colonial Council on the 20th of May last. In the speech which he delivered on the occasion, he announces the intention of making an experiment of the system of free labour in the colony. He says The relations which are about to be established at the ex tremity of the East, by a representative of the King, will enable you I hope, to call in the use of free la bourers in aid of your agriculture, and augment its wealth and activity. With your enlightened co-opera tion, I feel a conviction that I shall accomplish the diffi cult but valuable work of the establishment of the system of hired labourers on firm bases.' It had already been reported in France that it was intended to hire labourers in China and the East Indies for the French colonies. "The Belgian Minister of Finances has just presented to the Chamber of Representatives the Budget of Re ceipts and Expenditure fur 1845. The receipts are esti mated at 111,198,170 francs, and the expenditure at 109,961,790 francs, showing a surplus revenue of 1,236,380 francs. " We read in a letter from Berlin of the 21st The King has just granted permission to M. Gneist, one of the professors of the Royal University of Berlin, to open a course of lectures on the nature and operation of trial by jury. This measure has given great satisfaction to the public, as it looks like the announcement of an in tention to introduce, at no distant period, into western Prussia the institution of the jury, which exists in our Rhenish provinces.'

BRUSSELS, OCT. 27.—The Ring presided to-day in the Ccuncil of Ministers, and attended Divine service in the chapel of the Palace. His Majesty will receive to-morrow the deputation of the Chamber of Representatives with the address. Messrs. Delfosse and Woest, bankers of Brussels, some days ago sent a sum of 35,000 francs to Calais and Boulogne, by a diligence belonging to Van Gend and Co. It was given in charge to a conductor who has been in the 'service of Van Gend and Co. for twenty years. On reaching Calais he disappeared with the money, and went on board a vessel just on the point of sailing for England. Van Gend and Co. being. informed of this circumstance immediately re paid the sum to Delfosse and Co., and have sent two of their principal clerki to London in quest of the dishonest conductor.

It appears from the communication made by the Minister of Finance on the 26th of this month, that the state of the conversion up to that day was as follows : The entire capital of different kinds of na tional debt, at five and four-and-a-half per cent. which has been comprehended in the measure of conversion or repay- Florins. ment, was The amount of the capital converted is There remains to be converted 151,837,000 Deducting from this sum the capital which the Government has at its disposal, and which will be probably employed in the conversion 51,000,000 It is easy tQsee, that by converting or exchanging, the end that was proposed: will be attained. Thus forty millions of money and seven months time have sufficed to convert a capital of nearly 25 0,000,000, and we may hope that the entire conversion wiil be soon effected. The repayment and exchange of the 5 or 4f per cent., - and the reduction of the interest of the 250,000,000 already converted, will doubtless have a salutary effect on the budget of 1844, so that the deficiency which appeared in that budget will be much diminished, and perhaps the resources which the Government has derived from the voluntary loan will make it disappear entirely. THE HAGUE, OCT. 26.—1 n the sitting of the Second Chamber to-day, the Minister of Finance communi cated some further particulars relative to the con version. THE HAGUE, OCT. 28.—This morning the sections of the Second Chamber were engaged in deliberation on the draft of the address in reply to his Majesty's speech. The Central Section also met at noon It appears that there is in the draft of the address a paragraph respecting the desirable revival of the fun damental law, which perhaps was considered by some members as too weak, by others too strong. - GuAN o .—Owing to the easterly winds the arrivals of the past week from Ichaboe do not exceed 300 tons.

The places of public resort for business hare to-day resumed - ttleir wonted activity, and the question is now asked in many quarters when the New Royal Exchange will be opened for the assembling of the merchants and others. It is feared that some time will yet elapse before this can take place, as there is still a great heal of wok to be done before the buildint , is fully completed. 4 The Act of Parliament passed last session for the re gistration of Joint-stock Companies, will come into operation the day after to-morrow. The following are the principal features of the law : "Companies existing on the Ist of November must register their names, purposes, and places of business, within three months of that day, under a penalty not exceeding 50/. " Companies to be formed subsequently to the Ist of November, must obtain a certificate of provisional regis tration previously to declaring themselves to the public, in taking any public step towards formation, under a penalty of 50/. " Companies formed subsequently to the passing of this Act, are subject to its provisions, with respect to all proceedings after the Ist November, under the penalties assigned by this Act." No doubt is entertained that the new law will prove a wholesome check upon tho formation of mere specu lative Companies. The parties concerned in the forgery of Bank of England notes on the Continent, the discovery of which recently took place, still have eluded the vigilance of the officers sent in quest of them. It is stated, however, that a clue has been obtained to the place of their retreat, and, no Pubt, before they . know that the forgery has been found out, they will be in custody. The Stock Market is firm. Consols for immediate transfer have been 994 to par, and for time par to 104. Exchequer Bills have realised 70s. to 725. premium. Bank Stock has been at 202 to 203.

" Who runs may read" FOREICSIN. On Saturday the King and Queen of the French, their Royal Highnesses Madame Adelaide, the Duchess d'Or leans, the Duchess de Nemours, the Princess de Join and the Duke d'Aumale, accompanied by Generals Athalin and de Rumigny, the Count de Strada, and two orderly ofticerF, visited Versailles, but returned to St. Cloud to dinner. In the evening their Majesties re ceived the Ministers of the United States, Sweden, Chili, and Tuscany, the Minister of Commerce, the Count de Chabannes, Barons de BussArres and Deffaudis, M. de Lesseps, and M. Conte, Director-General of the Poit office. M. Herbet, the French Consul-General at Dublin, has been appointed Consul at Trieste. Dr. Bowring, M.P„ arrived in Paris on Saturday, at the Hotel Victoria, from London. Mr. Hume, M.P., has also arrived in Paris. M. Lebas, the member of the Institute, who has been two years in Greece on a scientific mission, has lately written to the Minister of the Interior, stating that he has collected about 4,000 Greek inscriptions, 2,500 of which are entirely new, and the rest corrected and ren,tered more complete. With these he has 500 drawings of antique buildings, statues, and bas.reliefs, besides several pieces of sculpture in marble, which will be valuable to the arts. The Journal des Chemins de Fer states that it forms part of the arrangement between the Saint Germain Railroad Company and the Government on the atmos pheric railway from Nanterre to the terrace of St. Ger main, the various systems of Messrs. Clegg, Hallette. Pt.rquem, Chaineroy, &c., shall be tried for a certain time before the opening of the road to the public, in order to test the advantages of each. The first section of the railroad of Lower Silesia, viz., from Breslau to Leibnitz, a distance of about 58 English miles, was opened on the 18th. This is part of the great line of railway which will extend from Kiel (Holstein) to Trieste, and thus connect the Baltic Sea with the Adriatic. A letter from Sarterre, in Corsica, of the 21st, states that a man named Canazzi, who on the 13th assassinated a medical student named Pianelli, in the commune of Olmeto, and who had almo-t immediately afterwards ported up a notice forbidding all persons to work on the property of Captain hanelli, the uncle of his victim. has paid the penalty of his crimes. The authorities, deter mined to seize on this man, pursued him so hotly that he was obliged to take refuge in the arrondissement of Ajaccio. The brother of the young man who was mur dered continued to pursue him unceasingly, and on the night of the 16th he and some gendarmes succeeded in bringing him to bay, after the exchange of a few shots. The Marseilles and Toulouse journals contain accounts of severe storms, accompanied with an enormous fall of rain, in these places but it does not appear that any serious damage was caused. On the debate in the Portuguese Chamber of Depu ties on the measures of the Government during the sus pension of the Constitution, Ministers had a majority of 48, in a house of 100 members. The Ministry is, there fore, secure. Despotism is congenial to the soil of the Peninsula. _ _ The members of the Congres Vinicole met at Bor• deaux on the 24th for the first time this year. There was an animated discussion on the state of the wine trade, and the means of relieving the embarrassments of the growers. The Seville mail was robbed on the 22d, between Villa verde and Los Angelos, by six bandits. The honours bestowed on the victors of Tangiers and Mogadore have occasioned great dissatisfaction in the French navy. 3,6,W AND POLICB. The case of Sawyer, the attorney, of Bow-lane, Cheap side, came on for judgment; before Sir C. F. Williams in the Bankruptcy Court. The Learned Commissioner con eluded his judgment in these words:—" l am of opinion that no day shall be named for the final order, and that he be forthwith remanded to the prison from which he has for a short time been released, under the authority of this Court." '1 he insolvent was forthwith conveyed to the Queen's prison. Patrick Gamon, charged with feloniously cutting and wounding, and thereby seriously endangering the life of Police-constable Higgins, 130, of the N division of metro politan police, also with violently assaulting police-con stable Gooderam, 433 N, was committed fur trial, from Clerkenwell. At Queen-square, on Tues - lay, a young man of colour, whose attenuated figure. and threadbare garments.in dicated the extremes of disease and poverty, applied to the Magistrates for relief. The applicant, who had evidently received a liberal education, was, he said, a native of Demerara, and came to this country at a very early period. On the death of his father, who was connected with the West India trade, applicant, who was educated for the medical profession, was obliged to relin quish it on account of pecuniary difficulties, and the prejudice he had to contend against as a person of colour. In consequence of long-continued ill health, which had now assumed an asthmatic form, he had been reduced to very great distress, and, with a wife and child to support, was compelled by dire necessity to make the present application. Mr. Bond afforded him some tem porary relief, 1%-cm, the Door-box. and desired him to eaLl nric.in_in a few days. Louts Woodcock, a gentleman of property, who is well known from his disputes With various hotel-keepers with whom he has at times taken up his abode, was charged at Marlborough-street with having broken two lamp-shades, and also assaulted Mrs. Coquerell, landlady of the European Hotel, Leicester-place. It appeared that the defendant went to the European Hotel to obtain some linen he bad left there, but the linen was refused to him until he had paid the balance of his bill. This excited the defendant, and with his stick he broke the glasses in question, and then afterwards struck the land lady a blow on the mouth and two on the body. He was fined a At Lambeth-street, Mr. J. B. Thomas, a tobacco and snuff manufacturer, carrying on an extensive business at No. 115. Ratcliff-highway, appeared before Mr. Henry, to answer to two informations, charging him with hav ing on his premises 173ilbs. of smuggled tobacco, which had been found by the Customs' officers on the sth and 7th instant. He was committed on both informations in the penalty of 1661. 18s. 6d., and detained until the money was paid. The late M.P. for Newcastle-under Lyme, Mr. John Quincy Harris, appeared at Union-hall on Tuesday, to answer a charge of endeavouring to provoke Mr. Philip Roberts, of Upper Montague-street, Russell-square, to a breach of the peace. The parties, it appeared, were con nected by marriage, and in consequence of family dis putes Mr. Harris had challenged Mr. Roberts to fight a duel. Mr. Harris was ordered to enter into his own recognisances in 5001. to keep the peace. At Hammersmith, Mrs. Susannah Folkard, 10, Pel ham-road, Brompton, who has repeatedly appeared at that court on similar charges, appeared before Mr. T. Paynter, the sitting magistrate, on summons charging her with having, on the 16th day of October instant, and on divers other da) s, burst into the house of Colonel Francis Home, at Knightsbridge, in the metropolitan police district, and then and there behaved in a menacing and violent manner, whereby the said Francis Home ap prehends some bodily harm. The magistrate ordered her to find two sureties in 104 each to keep the peace, upon which the defendant declared that she would die in prison first, and then the public would know the villainy with which Colonel Home. had treated her. She was accordingly conveyed to prison. Isaac King, a coal-porter, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, at the Thames Police-court, on a charge of breaking sixteen panes of glass in the Harrow public house, High-street, Poplar. He was fined 405., which he soon paid. Singular enough, before his liberation the breaking of glass was renewed in the High-street front age of the tavern, and continued at intervals throughout the day. About thirty panes of glass were broken during the day. The stones appeared to come over the houses on the opposite side of the way. Some of King's relatives and a companion live in that quarter, but the persons who threw the stones could not be discovered. Mr. Abbott caused posting-bills to be printed and cir culated, offering a reward of 51. for the discovery of the offenders, and several policemen were on the look out COTMT-PALKEILION'.&BIiaa.
