In the last communication addressed by that lowly-minded Bishop to the Churchwardens of Ware, some may fancy, indeed, that they detect the heredi tary style of schooling which a pedagogue may be supposed to lave transmitted to a Prelate. But with out entering into that question, we would if we could, exonerate the Right Reverend Father from a more grave and unbecoming imputation. It it said—and we believe it—that hiS Lordship is a favourer of the Tractarian doctrines. We do not mean to say that be upholds the atrocious trumpery which some of the NEwre.tN-iac divines have lately been re-pub lishing,. with the most fulsome of editorial commen dations from " Golden Legends," and " Lives of the Saints." We do not suppose, for a moment, that the sleek dioce'an, who moves between the Palace at Fulham and the Palace at.S.t. James's between St. Jamees-square and the Home of Lords—with all the precise getting up of an elaborate Abbe, a century ago, is the 'salons of 'Versailles, or the Luxembourg, has any community of taste with the PaLmiiit and the PIISEYS, the WARDS and the NEWMANS, who seem to insist that their " Englih Saints," or their German Monks of the twelfth century, must have died in the odour of sanctity in proportion as their persons were disgustingly filthy, and their fusty habits never changed! But, as we have before remarked, our Right Reverend CHARLES JAMES iS, in such controversies, ever an interested par tisan who has a decided leaning to the universal Tractarian doctrine of enlarging 'the temporal, and multiplying the spiritual, powers of Church men—(ranking above curates)—as .well as of the Church. Ile can away with the mummeries, NOT — provided they tend, in the•words of their rhapsodical advocate (the Rev. W. G. WARD), " to that sus tained and vigormis attack on 'the principl es . of the Reformation" ( w hi ch he, a minister of theAnz i , Anglican Reformed and Established Ch urc h, ad o but, provided they _;tend,tfi e . .v .-blas ter of Arts elsewhere wiitea',' (in hi s " Ideal of a Christian Church ")—" to the religious carryin g out of those great principles which the Reformation , L le t • —obedience and faith." Who can doubt - Whit th "shop of LONDON'S notions of " obedience" are,. witg moves the clergy of his diocese to stir up theii ks three or four times in a year to subscribe VA; building new churches (of which his Lord • ship ther " means to pocket the patronage) ? Who bt what the Bishoo's version of "faith" is, when he would persuade all the congregations within his extensive diocese, and even his quondam friends of Bishopsgate Without, that the effectual way to feed the hungry, intense, starving wretchedness of the pauperised districts of Spitalfields, is—to subscribe funds for purchasing and dispensing bread ?—soup ? —clothing ?—lodging ? No ! but—to build new churches for them. We shall not renew here the censure we have so lately ventured to pass upon a course of Episcopal policy that, we repeat, is daily making - an enormous sacrifice of high and substantial interest—moral, social, and religious—for vain forms and em?ty cere monies. Nor is it necessary to enlarge on the gravity of the offence which a Bishop commits, by upholding it when its results—not as they are to be inferred from theoretical reasoning merely, but as they are practically developed by every day's experience— clearly are the sowing of disunion and heartburnings between pastors and their flocks; and the en couragement, nay, the artificial -forcing, as it were, of present dissent from the ritual, and final estrangement from the communion and doctrine of I the Established Church. We have asked whether the Bishop is prepared to countenance the extension of Puseyism at the price of the decline of Protestantism ? And the ultra reverence for, and observance of, obso lete directions and formularies (still, indeed, retained in the Rubric, but distinctly as offensive to the opinions and feelings of the Church at large, as they have been foreign to her ritual, rites, and ceremonial, for the last century and a half—this overweening passion for reviving " things indifferent," simply be cause some fanciful preference for the mere pantomime of a more ancient ritual, we have taken the liberty to treat as an " idle fooling." We are rejoiced to be so soon in possession of high Episcopal authority for these views. It is gratifying to us to have one of the ablest servants and champions of the Church corro borating and strengthening our own unprofessional impressions on such matters. The late distinguished Principal of Brazenose, one of the lights of Oxford, and now Bishop of CHICHESTER, at his Lordship's primary visitation of his diocese in the cathedral church of that city on Tuesday last, delivered a charge, very remarkable in many particulars—excel lent in all—and in none more distinct or more sensi ble than in that portion which he devoted to the repro bation of this Puseyite tampering with the venerable structure of that Church, which it would unhesitat ingly demolish for the sake of planting upon its ruins a few exploded genuflections, and relighting at the altar table a few extinguished wax candles; putting on a white gown at one portion of the service, or taking off a black one at another—with other such worthless trifles. The Bishop of CHICHESTER, we observe, addresses his clergy in a tone of brotherly kindness and personal humility, worthy of a pri mitive Churchman, and very little, if at all, marred by that unconscious egotism which in some other Bishops (nearer "London") is so exceedingly offensive. He inculcates with eloquence and ear nestness the duty of consulting and relieving the wants, physical as well as moral, of the poor. To this sub ject he returns more than once, with increasing force and emphasls. lie warmly enjoins on his hearers the truly Christian, as well as clerical, duty of aiding, with sincerity and energy, the diffusion of education among the lower classes of society; and he concludes his animadversions upon the progress of Puseyism in terms to which it would be as vain as presumptions in us to attempt to add one word : " Judging from a review of their progress, as given by one supposed to be of their number (the Rev. W. Palmer), one must arrive at the conclusion that those so long unable to form their own course must be especially unfitted to guide others in the formation of their theo logical opinions. With respect to some usages which are supposed to take their origin from this school, it is much to be desired that more correct notions should prevail, more especially amongst the laity. Whatever may have been the object or intention of those writers of whom we speak in reviving attention to those matters, the advocates of rubrical observances are more frequently found in the persons of those who have no sympathy with their doctrines or peculiarities. The laity should be made aware of this fact. At the same time, I must caution the clergy always to bear in mind that the edification of God's people is the object of all their ministrations, and that they will sacrifice the end to the means if they needlessly offend their congre gations in such matters. I will not say that the interests of religion would not be advanced if our ritual were brought back to what it formerly was. On the con. trary, I believe the reverse would. be the fact ; but I certainly am convinced that a minister takes a wrong and entirely inadequate view of his duty if, by adhering too strictly to the rubrical directions of the Book o't . Common Prayer, he alienates the affection of his con gregation. Let him fully and clearly explain its nature and uses, and so he will win their minds towards him." The universal stir among the agriculturists of England, from the Land's End to the Tweed, is a feature of no ordinary occurrence in the history of the country. Formerly the aristocratic landowner followed religiously in the footsteps of his predecessar —left " well alone"—hunted during the day—spent the evening in libations—kept the peasantry as igno rant of any real knowledge as the beasts that perish —mortgaged part of his property as dowries for his daughters—supported the Tory Government, because the Tory Government was bound neck and heels by the landed interest—cried for war, because war pro vided situations for his sons, and raised his rent-rolls —opposed with a- fury approaching to madness every species of reform—and declared all men traitors to their GOD, their KING, and their country, who dared to touch one pin of that sacred ark—the Constitution in Church and State. What an awakening has been since I It can be likened to nothing so aptly as the scene described by the inspired Prophet, when " there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone, and they stood up an exceedingly great army." The reformers, which in bygone days were scarcely visible, are now to be met with in every part of the island, and in every depart ment of the State. But even great and unexpected as has been the change, no portion of it is so stir • prising, and so pregnant with happy prospects, as, the resuscitation of the old, sleepy agriculturists of England. In almost every county and town meetings have been held, for promoting agricultural improve ments. The landlords now tell their tenants they must be up and'doing- "the Philistines are upon them." The burden of the speeches is "tile-draining, " "guano manure," "subsoil ploughing," " turnip drill," and many other new-fangled systems imported from the north, or . from the best cultivated plains of the Netherlands and Lombardy. 'The speech of Lord STANLEY, at the Liverpool Agricultural Association on Tuesday, is in excellent keeping with the late movement. "In every quarter of the kingdom," said his Lordship, " we find, within the last few years, that societies similar to this have been springing up, and agriculture is partaking of the great movement which has been pervading all the in dustrial branches of this country. Farmers are find ing out that it is necessary for them, with a view to their own interests, to take a very different course I from that which was followed by their grandiVhers it and great grandfathers. In these days no man is allowed to stand still. Improvement must go on. And I see throughout the country, in every part of it, gratifying proofs that improvement is going on as actively in the agricultural as in the manu facturing districts and operations of the country. Now we ask his Lordship what has caused this movement, this rattling of dry bones, this revivifica tion of a race which, generation after generation, followed the preceding race like automatons. It is the cry for cheap bread—the universal shout raised by the friends of the poor, and, above all, by an as sociation but a few years old—the National Anti- Corn-law League. If Mr. COBDEN and his sup porters never do another good act in their lives—if they should fail in carrying into full effect their grand object, which we deem impossible, they deserve to be immortalised for rousing into activity a body of men idle and haughty, yet vainly claiming for themselves the title of the real protectors of their country, and the source of all its wealth. The League—the abo minated League—is the main cause of this extraor dinary commotion. But there are many others en titled to great merit in furthering the good work. The skill, ingenuity, perseverance, and industry, of the manufacturing classes must come in for a large share. Their labour has obtained its reward. Merchant princes have sprung from the lowest of the people—the Cotton Lords are tread ing upon the heels of the titled Lords ; the intellige nce of the operatives of Birmingham, • Manchester, Leeds, and fifty other great hives of industry, st an d s out i n broad relief, when contra sted. with the half-fed, th e une d ucated, the helplessand almost hopeless children of the soil. The h of Lord STANLEY, 8114 hia:Canada Corn Bill, are , =signs of happy omen to men who have struggled so man . THE SUN, LONDON, fully in a noble cause : well-grounded hopes of vic tory will cheer them on to further exertions, and the day, we trust, is not far distant when the landowner and his best customer, the manufacturer, will view this great question in the same light, and settle it by an amicable arrangement. The Dutch mail, which arrived this morning, brings us the Speech of the King of the NETHER 'Arms on opening the States-General at the Hague, on the 21st of October. The general state of the country is represented to be flourishing, the only ex ception being the West Indian Colonies. After al luding to the saving effected by the reduction of the interest on the National Debt, and by the Convention with Belgium, the speech announces an intention to make certain alterations in the tariff in the following words :-" The tariff of import, export, and transit duties, already provisionally communi cated to you, will now become a subject of your de liberation. Holland will nut confine itself to bare words, when the successive improvements of our com mercial legislation shall have to be considered." This, and the announcement of the necessity of a reform in the monetary system, are by far the most impor tant portions of the speech, which will be found at length in another column. The following telegraphic dispatch from Madrid was received on Tuesday by the French Govern- ment : " MADRID, OCT. 18.—The Bill relative to the re form of the Constitution has been this morning pre sented to the Congresi. " The Ministry have, at the same time, demanded of the Senate permission to decree some organic laws." These two measures—the reform of the Constitu tion, and new organic laws—excite great interest. Every friend of liberty believes there is a deep-laid scheme not to reform, but to overturn the Constitu tion. The result will soon be seen, as the " Reform Bill " was the first to be discussed by the Cortes. In the Senate scarcely any business had been transacted. The following is the speech of the President, MOS.. CORO DE ALTAMIRA, on his taking the chair:— " Senators,—Upon occupying for the fifth time this eminent post, it is a pleasure to me to reflect that I owe this honour to the kindness of her Majesty. 111 y posi tion as President will recal without ceasing to my recol lection the imperious duty imposed upon me to protect the rights and liberties of each senator in this meeting, by faithfully observing the regulations of the assembly. The prudence and wisdom of the Senate will probably render my task a light one. I trust that without re nouncing his independence of opinion, each senator will know how to reconcile it with his elevated position and dignity., Such a line of conduct is the only means of in suring this illustrious body the consideration and respect that are due to it." The inquiry respecting the sinking of the Reyo appears to exonerate the English officers from blame, as the Spanish vessel was proved to have been within the limits of British wate.r. Madrid Bourse of the 16th.—Three per Cents.,26i for Account; Five per Cents., 20t for Account; Floating Debt, 62} for Account. The trial of the Duke DB MONTMORENCY for the distribution of seditious medals took place on Mon day before the Paris Court of Assize. The Duke (or Prince DE RODECQ) was defended by M. BERRYER, and was accompanied to Court by the Duke of FITZJAMES, the Marquis DE LA ROCHE JAQUELIN, and several other distinguished members of the Legi timatist party. It is needless to give any details of this trumpery trial. M. BERRYEtt asserted that there was nothing political in the affair, and the jury coin cided in his view, for, after consulting only five minutes, they returned a verdict of "Not guilty." The Prince was loudly cheered when he left the Court. The speech of the Prince is the only inte resting part of the proceedings, and does honour to the ancient and noble House of MONTMORENCY : " Gentlemen," said he, " the charges which have just been brought against me by the Avocat-General will certainly not be deemed by you of a nature to justify the abuse which the Government have made of the law. What is the question submitted to you? My devotedness to the Prince to whom (and I do not wish to conceal it) I have sworn fidelity inviolate— some busts made in the court-yard of my house since 1840—busts which have been exhibited to every body, in a house open at all hours—and a sale that never had the secresy just ascribed to it. Did this require that my dwelling should be visited by the police, that my locks should be picked or broken open, that my seals should be torn up, that my family papers should be read, and that a parcel of documents,' which was to be opened but after my death, should be carried away, in order to get at these busts ?I do not think so. If I bad been applied to, Y should have - at once avowed all I had done. These searches have been but a pretext. What makes me suppose it is that, at the same mome - ot similar searches were made at the dwelling of a Liettenant-General who broke his sword in 1830, and, also, at the dwelling of a brave officer, who hes since appeared before a jury and been acquitted. That gentiOman's only offence was, that he had been a member of Q charitable asso ciation, whose objects he had admiro.bly promoted. This work of charity has been impugned, and it is not the first time such an attempt has been ,made, for they have expressed a determination to crush `t. I take this opportunity of appealing to the generous and humane feelings of such as may be disposed to promote this charitable association which lam doing my best to promote. I hope that our defence will emerge victorious from this severe trial. Already have the jury duly disposed of an accusation which, as I have already observed, was but a mere pretext. What is aimed at and expected is, that you will strike at convictions which all honourable men respect — faith in adversity—attachment to glorious past times. They wish to attain all—to venture everything—to defy public opinion—and to drive us to a despotism the more dangerous as they will cover it with the mantle of legality. , For us, they may persecute and brand us, but they never shall accomplish their object." We really thought the Opposition journals had done with the royal visit, but as they have not yet found another hobby they will probably ride this one to death. The National, so bent on war, of course, is highly indignant at the KING for presuming to say, before the Knights of England, at the investiture of the Garter, " I swear to abstain from unjust wars." This honest men consider a very honourable and hu mane vow. Not so this rabid journal, who thus attacks his MAJESTY, while professing to attack M. GuiZOT " M. Guizot assisted officially, in his quality of Mi nister, at the investiture. We have the right to make him account for the imprudent words spoken on that occasion. At the moment the Chancellor read the words, 6 I swear never to make an urkfust or unfair war against the Sovereign of the Order,' the King interrupted him by exclaiming, more than once, with the greatest energy, Never, never. 1 never will.' ".As Louis Philippe is not at an age when men are carried away - by* their feelings, all that he said was no doubt arranged beforehand with M. Guizot, and we can no more render the King accountable for these words, and of - the warmth with which they were spoken, than we can attribute to him alone the discourse pronounced by him from the throne on the opening . of the session. Terefore, we say, the Minister of Foreign . Affairs has thought proper, before the British aristocracy, to allow the Constitutional King to take a solemn engagement never to make war against the Sovereign of the order of the Garter. "'ln order to give another meaning than that of a vain etiquette to this pompous comedy, it was necessary for Louii Philippe to interrupt the Chancellor by a new protestation in favour of peace, which would give to his oath an entirely political character. This, truly, was wanting to crown the visit, and we hope the Debats will to-morr ow recommence its lyri c al s trophes on this forgotten circumstance. Is it not a wondrous spectacle eceremonyof the FrenchinTeriuptlnga re- I thea the King midleages by declarin g th a t h e t a k es m t o o f se c as serious the engagement not to make war against the Queen of England ? Never ! no, never !It i s the Sovereign of the Order of the Garter who re mains naturally the judge . who is to decide whether a war is unjust or impious. The new Knight is not to acknowledge any rule but his oath, and it is stated that, in order that he may conform to it to the letter, Louis Philippe demanded an authentic copy. It seems to us, however, that, in replying to the munici palities of Portsmouth' and London, M. Guizot had sufficiently testified his zealous desire for peace, in all times and in all parts—it seems to us that the demon strations of the entente cordiale bad been already quite ample enough, and that it was quite useless to renew them by taking an oath. We will not attach to these impressions more importance than they deserve. Events are stronger than the wills of men, and the Garter is not a talisman that. can arrest the current of facts, of interests, and ideas. But what a pitiable part has the Ministry imposed upon the Monarch l Not to hear peace mentioned without raising his' eyes to heaven, laying his hand. upon his heart, and bursting into trans pyrts of love. and enthusiasm I We shall say no more. is this prudent policy, wheu we may have to-morrow to defend the • rights and honour of our cOuntry— • even dignified? Last y ea r, th e King of P russ i a wan is it admitted FRIDAY MORNING, OCTODER 5, 1844. into the order of the Garter, and certainly he took good care, true friend as he is to peace, not to interrupt the Chancellor by givingany meaning whatever to that which was a mere form. Is it then being tea exigent to require the Ministry to impose upon the King of the French that good taste, that feeling of consistency, which was was not wanting in the King of Prussia?" The following just remarks appear in the Paris Globe : • " The value of the welcome given to the King of the French by the English nation must not be exaggerated any more than denied. To suppose that this reception, sincere as it was, signifies that the English will not de fend their interests when competing with ours would be absurd ; to suppose that in return for this reception France will not defend her interests against those of England would be equally absurd. It is not necessary to be a superior man like M. Guizot—not even a man of common sense—to fancy that a great people are long go verned by systematically sacrificing its interests. It is only for the Opposition journals to believe that. These journals are like worn-out horses turning the wheel of a well—they aro fit fur their functions only when blind. But, if the question is not to sacrifice the inte rests of either of the two nations, what is the question ? What does the sympathy of the English people signify ? What is it good for ? We will tell. The English people does not feel for the King of the French and France a ro mantic sympathy. It did not flame up for King Louis Philippe simply because it saw him, and because the King replied in good English to the addresses pre sented to him. The person and language of the King have fortified the sentiments of the English people for the French King and people, but they did not give it birth. That dates further back than the visit to Windsor. It is the fashion of the present day, when speaking of the English people, to represent it as exclusively given up to the furtherance of its interests, and as caring but :jttle for ideas. That is one of those errors which English „:-e fond of positive matters ; but there is no people which F rens ^h heedlessness alone could have established. The m akes so many material sacrifices for a political, or philonhical, or religious idea, when it is thought just. For in.!tance, whatever may be the opinion entertained in an eco:Y)mical point of view of the emancipation of the blacks, it canii. t be denied that in England the idea of emancipation has Veen really a re ligious and philosophical one, and is still so f.;: . the ma jotity of the English nation. The English Go;Gru ment, which long rejected the emancipation, seized on it when it saw that it was in the heart of the nation ; it used this idea to forward the interests of its policy, and did in that only what all clever Govern ments are in the habit of doing. National ideas and sentiments are forces which the statesman employs to move the political machine. But there are in the Eng lish people two ideas taking root and developing them selves strongly— the idea of liberal propagandism and pacific propagandism. England at present reckons almost as many liberal and pacific philosophers as Christian emancipators. The Revolution of July is in their opi nion a great manifestation of modern liberty ; the King of the French is the venerable personification of Euro pean peace ; they saluted in him the liberal Sovereign and peaceful King. This is so true, that, although the municipality of London contains a good number of Ra dicals, the address to the King of the French was not withstanding adopted unanimously, because it was in tended for the liberal Sovereign. It is this which ex plains the sympathetic movement of the English people towards the King of the French —this sentiment of vane ration which is perceptible in the addresses of the cor porations—a sentiment which the French journals turned into ridicule, because they did not comprehend it." • THE BOURSE --TUESDAY, OCT. 22.

We are glad to learn it is the general wish of the public that the banking-houses of the metropolis should close on Monday next, at twelve o'clock, for the security of the bankers, as well as to enable the gentlemen in the various establishments to participate in the general holiday. This expression of public feeling has been responded to by the general consent of ALL the BANKING- HOUSES ; but it would have been well if the Committee of Bankers had regularly advertised the adoption of this resolution, as the Directors of the Bank of England have done. Every street in the line of the procession —from St. James's street, in the west, to Aldgate, in the east, will be bar ricaded. Pasiage through any of these streets after 11 o'clock on Monday will be physically impossible ; and as the greater number of the metropolitan banking houses are situated either in these thoroughfares, or in streets abutting immediately on them, the adoption of this measure of early closing is almost as much a matter of necessity as of choice. It is scarcely necessary to remind the public that the holyday given on the occasion of the Queen's visit to the City next Monday has nothing whatever to do with the payment of bills of exchange If these are due on Monday, they must be paid the same as on any other day ; and if a bill becomes due and is dishonoured on Saturday, notice of dishonour must be given by the holder on the Monday as a matter of course. • The only excep tions to the general rule are Good Friday, Christmas day, and days appointed by her Majesty's proclamation for solemn fast or thanksgiving. We learn by letters from Athens that the file of the King of Greece was celebrated with great pomp on the :,'oth ult. On this occasion M. Metaxa received the Cordon of the Order of the Saviour. On the the King and Queen left the capital to make a tour of p e %s ure in Rumelia.

The whole 2ourney was to be made on horseback. General Grivas came out of quarantine on the 6th, and landed at the Piraatni. CLIESTER.—THE CHEESE FAIR..—At this fair on Wednesday, about 250 tons were pir9d for sale at the Linen-Hall, and a larger quantity at the Commercial Hall than has been seen there on any preJious occasion. This year's cheese, it was generally remarkcii, is not so forward in ripeness as it should be, a circumstaive which is no doubt attributable in some way or other to the dry ness of the late season. Common qualities met w. ; th a ready sale, but in consequence of the lowness of i s be prices offered, the best sorts hung heavily on hand. Prices ranged Prom 455. to 60s. ; in one or two instances prime lots fetched 635., which was the highest figure ob tained.—Chester Courant. ALLEGED METEDEIL—On Wednesday, Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Rising Sun, Charles street, Gros venor-square, on the body of Harriet Parker, aged fifty three, wife of John Parker, in the employ of Mr. Thomas Cubitt, and now in custody on remand from Marlbo rough-street Police-court, on a charge of having caused her death by wilful neglect and ill-treatment. It appeared in evidence that deceased lodged with her husband, who, besides being a labourer, was an out-pensioner of Chelsea Hospital, at No. 9, Ranelagh-street, Thames-bank, and that on the 20th ult., he came home drunk, pushed her about, tore her clothes off her back, and kicked her on the legs. He assaulted her next day in a similar man ner, but no one saw him strike her with his fists, though in the evening he threw a board at her, which, striking her on the right cheek, the bone was split in two by the concussion The cheek, though much bruised and puffed, was not cut open by the blow, because it was given by the flat part of the board. After this, she took to her bed, and her husband would get nothing for her, telling her to get what she wanted herself, that her illness was noting more than laziness, though at the time she was unable to sit up. Subsequently, she was attended by Mr. Davis, of Belgrave-place, but his attend ance was rendered nugatory by the annoyance she received at her husband's hands, who eventually stripped the bed on which she lay of all its covering. Mr. Davis got an order for her admission to the workhouse in Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, whither she was removed on the 12th instant, at her earnest re quest, because she said her husband had received his pension that day, would get drunk in consequence, and kill her before morning. Deceased had been formerly a nurse in St. George's Hospital • her husband was sixty three years of age, and they had been married only a year. Mr. H. Harding, surgeon, of 38, King-street, Berkeley-square;saw the deceased the evening (12th inst.) she was brought to the workhouse, when she com plainedincreasing, had been her subject gradually husband.from of having been severely beaten by her husband. continual nausea, and finally sdaeni died e d tdh with oos ne She had marks of violence on her body, and complained of a pain, in the stomach, where, she said, she had been with convulsions, to which She he s a r nbk::ta and n , morning last. He had since openedthe body, death was immediately caused by an effusion of serum into the cavities of the brain, and into all the serous ones of the whole system. . The ill-treatment did act produce this general effusion, but it might have hastened it. The inquiry having lasted three hours and a halt; was adjourned for the evidence of Mrs. Davis, who had attended deceased immediately after the ill-treatment. PUBLIC HEALTH.—MT. Moore, member of the Town Council of Leicester, has given notice of a motion diseasessau nmdnasyt for the next meeting, for Ahe appointment of a Com mittee "to inquire into and report to the Council as to the best means of establishing a cemetery in the suburbs of Leicester." DUTCH AN MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. There has been a few money sales of Stock, which have slightly kept down the market. Consols lett off at 994 to par for Money, and 100 to 1004 for Account. Bank Stock has been done at 203 to 204. The New Three-and. a-Quarter per Cents. receded to 101.1 f. The Foreign Market closed well. Spanish Actives at 232 4; the Three per Cents. at 344 to 35 ; Portimunse Converted, at 514 to 524; Peruvian at 244, and Brazilian at 852. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these :—Bristol and Exeter were 3; Churnet 14; Great North of England, 25; Great Western, 60; Ditto Fifths, 121; Lancaster and Carlisle, 3 . --4-; Croydon, 2i; Midland, 5; Northern and Eastern, 111; Norwich and Brandon, 44 to 34; South-Eastern, 104 to 10; Trent Valley, 6 ; York and North Midland, 57 to 564; Ditto, Scarborough Br' WI, 23; Ditto, Selby Scrip, 464 to 47; Central of Fre ce, 24 4 ; Boulogne and Amiens, 14; Orleans, Tours, nd Bordeaux, 4.4; Paris and Orleans, 192; and Paris and Rouen, 194 premium.

There are no ship arrivals with late news, from any quarter. In the produce markets a moderate business is doing for immediate consumption, but the same healthy absence of speculative excitement is still observable. The public securities have to-day been steady. The opening of the Chambers and States-General of Belgium and Holland has given occasion to the Sovereigns of those countries to make very satisfactory statements re lative to the finances and general position of their Go vernments, and as the Money Market here must feel the influence of a stable state of things abroad, this is so far satisfactory. As a counterpoise, however, there are one or two other States which are said to be on the look-out for loans. Consols for immediate transfer have realised 991 to * per cent. above par, and for Time 100 to *. Exchequer-bills have realised 735. premium, and India bonds, under 1,0001., 935. premium. The Commis.ioners bought at 99* Reduced Three per Cents. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 102 k to 1011. There is the same apathy again exhibited in regard to Spanish Stock, which is almost nominal. The Five per Cent. Bonds have been at 231 to 9, and the Three per Cents. at 34t to The Portuguese Converted Stock hes been at 51 to 514. Mexican brought 341 ; Columbian, 141 ; and Brazilian 85. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. were 621 to 63. The Railway Shares are, on the whole, rather firmer than yesterday, although there is not a great deal doing. The French lines are very firm.

Accounts from Rome (7th inst.), state that the Pope has, since his sojourn at Castel Gandollo, attended by a small suite, visited various cities in the Roman States. His Holiness proceeded through Albano, Gen zano, Marino, Frascatti, Grotta, and Ferrara, where he made minute inquiries relative to the administration of affairs, as well as to the social intercourse of the people The Venerable Archbishop of Cologne Baron V. Droite Bishering, who intended to have remained at Rome for a lengthened period, has quitted that city, the frequent scirrocco winds having proved detrimental to the Pre late's health. his Royal Highness Prince George of Prussia has gone to Naples via Terracena, but intends to return to Rome for the winter.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 21.—This ceremony took place to-day, according to the programme which has been published. At one o'clock his Majesty the King left the palace, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Princes, and a brilliant staff. Wherever his Majesty passed he was received with acclamations by the immense crowd which thronged the streets through which the procession passed. On ar riving at the palace of the States-General the King was introduced to the House by the Com mittee appointed for that purpose. His Majesty, standing before the throne, delivered the following speech : " Noble and Mighty Lords,—l am happy to be able to give you, on resuming your labours, the assurance that the general situation of the country presents, in many respects, a favourable appearance. " Our political relations are satisfactory. " The navy and the army continues to meet my approbation. " A part of our naval force is successfully engaged in the suppression of piracy in the Indian Archi pelago. " The army, though considerably reduced in num ber, is animated with the best spirit, and endeavours to distinguish itself by its good discipline. " The building and completion of new men-of war proceeds regularly. "Necessity commands us to employ all the means in our power to repair and improve the works for the defence of the country. "The communal guard will receive a new orga nisation which, without being too burdensome to the nation, will render its service more effectual in time of danger. " Notwithstanding some partial failures of the crops, our East Indian possessions enjoy tranquillity and prosperity. " I regret that our West Indian colonies continue in a languishing state; however, means have been proposed to me to recover them, the applicability of which must be judged of on the spot. " Some branches of manufacture are improving, while others feel the influence of unfavourable cir cumstances. The Government endeavours, as far as in its power, to give them the best directions possible. "Primary instruction is the constant object of my solicitude. The arts and sciences are cultivated with zeal and success, and it is a pleasing duty to me to second, as far- as the means are at my disposal at present, the eftbrts of those who devote themselves to them. " The communications which will be made to you from me will prove to you the scrupulous fidelity, worthy of the highest praise, with which my beloved subjects, fulfilling the obligations which they have imposed on themselves, with - unparalleled alacrity have made sacrifices to meet the wants of the State. " The Almighty has given his blessing to these sacrifices. "In a few months a voluntary reduction of the interest has procured a considerable saving. " An advantageous convention has been also con cluded with respect to the Belgian debt. "The results have considerably exceeded the esti mates which served as the basis of the plans adopted in the last session of the States-General. " The budgets which will be brought before you will prove to you that the Government does not stop in the course of retrenchment. "The tariff of import, export, and transit duties, already provisionally communicated to you, will now become a subject of your deliberation. "Holland will not confine itself to bare words, when the successive improvements of our commercial legation shall have to be considered. "It will be necessary, seriously to attend to the reform of our monetary system. I cherish the hope that it may be effected without an augmentation of the public burdens. , " Your High Mightinesses will . receive the pro posals on this subject, as well as those the tendency of which is to simplify more and more the administra tion of the finances. " I trust that the projects of law which will be presented to you, by virtue of Art. 6 of the funda mental law, will answer the object in the best manner. "I will not draw your attention to the other pro jects of law which will be presented to you in the course of this session. The Government does not cease to prepare everything which is necessary to answer the zeal with which the States-General attend to the interests of the country. "I implore the blessing of God on the task which we have to fulfil for the welfare of the country—that happy in the enjoyment of order, peace, and prosperity —to develop those virtues which have always charac terised the Dutch people. " I declare the present session of the States-General to be opened." FLUSHING, OCT. 19.—We hear with great pleasure that the Government intend that considerable work shall be commenced in the spring in the harbour of Breskens, near Fort Frederick Henry, which must give employment to many workmen. Three gun-boats have sailed from the Scheldt to Helvoetsluys for sailors to man the Ceres frigate, which is under orders for the East Indies. THE HAGUE, Ocr. 21.—His Majesty has appointed M. A.

OUTRAGE IN MADEIRA.—The Sierra San Antonio, a mountain district of Madeira, has recently been given up to pillage under the following circumstances:—On the evening of the 16th of September fourteen police men, some armed and others intoxicated, attempted to seize Nicolao Vieira, a Portuguese, who, about eighteen months ago, had joined the Scottish communion. Their only authority was a warrant, not signed as required by law. Under these circumstances Nicolao refused to follow them until it should be light. His neighbours rallied round him; and, after some altercation, but with out a blow being struck by either side, the police re tired. On the 23d of September, fifty soldiers, com manded by Captain Oliveira, proceeded, under pretence of seizing the offenders, to pillage the district. Some of the houses were gutted, others stripped of their va luables, the live stock was killed, and the inhabitants either taken prisoners or obliged to fly. The houses of two English merchants, Messrs. Burnett and Ellicott, were filled with women flying from the violence of the soldiery. It was not till•the pillage had continued three days that those gentlemen obtained, by their urgent re monstrance, an order to restrain the 'soldiers. Twenty two prisoners were brought round in a frigate and lodged in Funchal gaol: The illegal signature of the warrant would have justified any resistance, while the circumstance that no blows were struck clearly proves how trifling it actually was. The pillage was witnessed by several English gentlemen who visited the spot, and its effects are still visible to all who go to the Sierra. Ten of the prisoners belong to the family of Maria Joaquina, who is still in prison under sentence of death. A VAN UPSET IN CHEArslDE.—Wednesday after noon, about five o'clock, a (earful accident occurred in Cheapside, by the upsetting of a large covered van, which was rue against by a waggon, and overturned across the foot-pavement at a time wheh it was thronged with pas sengers. Fortunately they contrived to get out of the way before it fell upon them. The van was on the wrong side of the way at the time. The Berlin journals announce a great rise in the price of cotton goods in Prussia, and add that the manut factures in that country are in the most prosperous state.
