No Governor-General of India has been more maligned than Lord ELLENBOROUGH. The press of England and India justly laughed at his puerilities, his songs of triumph ; and many of the journals la mented more than they blamed the attacks on hi s predecessor, and the pompous proclamations about the disasters of Caubul, the gates of Somnauth, and his firm determination to confine the British power for ever in India to the limits which bounded it at the accession of Lord AUCKLAND. Some, however, more severe than just, described him as the most incompetent Governor that ever had been sent out to rule that vast empire. We all along, however, endeavoured to judge him by his acts, and not by his words. We blamed him almost without one exception for what he said, and praised him for what he did. The result has not belied our opinions. Under his administra tion the honour and power of England were vindi cated in Affghanistan ; the most glorious and success ful march of armies through passes considered im passable was accomplished ; Caubul was recaptured, .._ and the Affghans were taught the useful lesson, that neither their high mountains, nor their narrow valleys Accounts have been received from Madrid to the 19. th inst.

We never had but one opinion on the subject. The ALieers stood not only in the way of civilisation, but they claimed the right to interrupt one of the great highways of nations. They were, perhaps, the most selfish and barbarous tyrants in ex istence; they obstructed our commerce with the northern regions of India, and what was more, they prohibited us from defending ourselves. The only remedy was to put them down with a high hand, and a NAPIER w . as justly selected for the important and noble duty. We call it noble. Was ever such an im portant result produced within the same period ? Twenty thousand of these fierce and irreclaimable Beloochees presented themselves to Sir CHARLES NA. PIER a few months ago ; they came to pay their court to a man who but two years before they believed.was determined to destroy them root and branch. They came unarmed, and made obeisance to the representative of the Queen of ENGLAND, and then retired to their country, struck with the honour, good faith, and magna nimity of the English, and anxious to spread the joyful news among their tribes on both banks of the Indus. The natives of Sinde have expressed, not by their language only, but by their deeds, their gratitude to the British General. For the first time in their lives they see justice administered, find protection against the oppressor, trade encouraged, robbery and plunder and murder abolished, and regard with astonishment the blessings of civilisation introduced by a race whom their Ameers held up to general detestation. Never did England obtain such a peaceful and holy triumph. We are almost inclined to contrast the English and French systems of colonisation—Sinde with Algeria—but it would be only a work of supere rogation. Every reader can do it for himself. We may here notice the attempt of a morning Contemporary to prove that the letter imputed to Sir HENRY POTTINGER, denouncing in the most un measured and outrageous manner the conduct of Lord ELLLNBOROUGH and Sir CHARLES NAPIER, had no reference to these functionaries. It was written before Sir HENRY had received the Blue Book, says a Correspondent; and we are, therefore, to infer that his indignation was directed against his own em ployers—a strange mode of getting out of a scrape. But we shall have an opportunity in due time of re curring to this affair. We quote the following extraordinary passage from an Address which has been forwarded by Sir AN DREW AGNEW to the Earl of ABERDEEN, in the name of the friends of the observance of the Lord's•day in Scotland :—" It is a well-known fact that Scotland has since the Reformation been distinguished among the nations of Christendom as a strict Sabbath-ob serving country, in the true scriptural sense of that word ; and it is this important fact which, with all imaginable respect and deference, 'and dutifulness and loyalty, it is humbly prayed may be brought under the notice at this time of her Most Gracious Ma jesty the QUEEN, not doubting that in this, as in all other respects, it is the gracious desire of the Royal mind to recognise, to respect, and to gratify the religious habits, the peculiar characteristics, and the best principles of her MAJESTY'S most loyal and devoted subjects in this her ancient kingdom. It would be the highest presumption to suggest to your Lordship's consideration the extent of the overwhelm ing moral influence which the example of the Court is calculated to produce upon the religious habits of Scotland on this most auspicious occasion." Most of our readers must be familiar with the name and the achievements of Sir ANDREW AGNEW—that doughty religious Quixote who, had he lived in the days of the Praise-God-Barebones Parliament, would have taken high rank among the Saints of that period. This remarkable gentleman it was who, in the ardour of his puritanical zeal, brought forward in the House of Commons, not less than three times, a Bill, whose avowed object was to put a stop to every species of amusement and occupation on the Sabbath, no matter how innocent, or indeed meritorious such amuse ment or such occupation might be. Not content with endeavouring to put a veto on all Sunday riding or driving in the parks or elsewhere, he actually pro posed to starve the poor into piety by shutting up the baker's oven, and giving a twelve hours' holiday to the kitchen-spit; moreover, he headed a crusade against the old women's fruit-stalls ; anathematised the village ale-house; launched the thunderbolts of his wrath against the heads of all tavern-keepers, as though they were so many direct importations from Tophet ; and solemnly conjured the House, in such moving terms as caused a general rush of Members to the door, to visit with condign reprobation every Atheist who was caught in the sacrilegious act of travelling by steam or railway on the Lord's-day. It is supposed that he would even have gone the extreme length of pre venting the sun from shining, and the wind from blowing, on the Sabbath, could he but have been assured of the feasibility of the scheme; but finding, on mature consideration, that it was somewhat im practicable, he wisely abandoned it, and confined his ghostly attention to more mundane matters. Well, the same over-righteous gentleman, who exhibited his ultra-devotional sensibilities in this strange fashion, some five or six years since, not content with the flattering and enviable notoriety which he then ac quired, has now come publicly forth again to challenge the admiration of the world, by forwarding an Address to one of the QUEEN'S Ministers, whose object is, to acquaint her MAJESTY w ith the impressive and novel fact, that the Scotch are of an exceedingly pious turn, and will tolerate nothing like laxity of conduct on the Lord's day. Of course her MAJESTY did not know this be fore, or Sir ANDREW AGNEW would not have been at the pains to communicate it to her ; and we have no doubt that she will receive the novel information with becoming thankfulness. But, to speak seriously. Can anything be more ill-judged —we might almost say, impertinent—than an Address, whose chief and evident object, carefully as it is dis guised, is to convey a hint to her MAJESTY that she must be particularly strict in her observance of the Sabbath during the period that she remains in Scotland ? Could not Sir ANDREW Ac- NEW, and those in whose name he writes, have left the matter to the QUEEN'S own innate sense of reli gious propriety ? Was it necessary to remind her of the duty which she owed to her Scottish subjects and herself? Has she ever, on any occasion, evinced a disposition to treat the Sabbath with neglect ? On the contrary, has she not always been exemplary in the discharge of her duties on that holy day ? What ar rant presumption, then, in these officious zealots to remind her—just as if she needed the hint!—that " the example of the Court is calculated to produce an overwhelming moral influence npon the religious habits of Scotland !" Floating Debt, 63f at 60 days ; Coupons, 25+, to the 28th of September. Exchange, London, 37i. We have received the Paris papery of - Wednesday. The lifoniteur, of that date, contains the following official confirmation of the intelligence from Otaheite, stating that a collision had taken place between the French and the natives, which appeared in the Eng lish papers some days since : " The Government has received the following intelli gence from Otaheite, of the date of April 24 After having vainly endeavoured to bring back to their obedi ence the rebels who made the attack at Taravan, Go vernor Bruat went out to meet them at Mahahana, where they had made themselves entrenchments, defended by 3,000 men, and three pieces of cannon. On the 17th, Governor Bruat landed with 441 men of all arms. The redoubts were taken by the bayonet, the enemy having 102 killed, their colours taken from them, and their cannon spiked. The next day we destroyed their works, and carried away their arms and ammunition. On our side we have to lament the loss of two officers—M. Nan enseigne de vaisseau, and M. Seignette, of the artillery. We had, besides, 52 men weunded." This intelligence has produced great excitement in Paris, an excitement which has been increased by the silence of the Government papers, which content themselves with publishing the official account with out observation or comment. Not so the Opposition papers. They are furious in their denunciations of Mr. PRITCHARD and the English missionaries. The Courrier Francais says : "On whose head ought all this blood to fall ? Ought it not to be on that of the intriguer, the mischief-maker, whose fanatical harangues excited the people of Otaheite to arm themselves against France ? Ought it not to be on that Consul who infuriated their resistance to our domination, by promising them the support of England? Ought it not to fall upon the head of Pritchard ? And yet this man will receive the price of blood when he is paid the indemnity which the French Government has agreed to allow. Already, for having dared to imprison this man for openly sowing the seeds of rebellion and war, a French officer has been publicly reprimanded ! Is this all ? This blood flowed in the name of Queen Pomare, and our brave sailors, after being compelled to fight against her, are to be condemned to re-establish her in the sovereignty of the island. For this woman it is that an Admiral has been disavowed. This disavowal of Dupetit Thouars—the reprimand given to d'Aubigny —all the blood of our officers and soldiers that has been shad—these are what we owe to Pomare and Pritchard. And this is not all—for Pomare is to be restored and Pritchard indemnified !" The Constitutionnel, the organ of M. Tniaas, ac cuses the Ministry of having purposely kept back the intelligence. It says— " Now, these facts were known in England on the 9th inst. ; necessarily, therefore, several days must have passed since our Government received this news. It has been, no doubt, unwilling to give it publicity so imme diately after making known to France the arrangement of Pritchard's affair. It hoped that in eight days all would have been forgotten. This, however, is the state of things—Mr. Pritchard, on quitting Otaheite, left us war behind him. He had blown the sparks of rebel lion, and the flames soon burst out and spread. This Man, therefore, is responsible for the deaths of two French officers full of honour and courage, and for the wounds of our brave soldiers. He raised the island, and our situation in it became intolerable. Famine, an armed conflict, a disputed possession, a protectorate ren dered impossible, are what we owe to Mr. Pritchard. Twice has France made apologies to him, twice has she disavowed her officers to give him satisfaction. He has caused the deaths of Frenchmen, and for the inconve nience which so many kind cares for us has caused him we grant him an indemnity ! M. d'Aubigny, who too well comprehended the part played by Mr. Pritchard, and the consequence of his intrigues, is reprimanded for having come to an energetic and legitimate resolu tion ; and we are to pay Mr. Pritchard the price of our own blood which he has caused to flow ! For Admiral Dupetit Thouars and Commandant d'Aubigny, dis avowal and reprimand ! Fur Mr. Pritchard, an in demnity !" The National is, as usual, more violent than any of its Contemporaries : "A vessel which reached Brest .on the sth instant (says that journal) brought dispatches from Otaheite. The Minister carefully concealed the contents of these dispatches. They were communicated to him, and nevertheless he triumphed at the blame expressed against M. d'Aubigny and the indemnity to be paid to Mr Pritchard. This indemnity has been well earned. The intrigues of this firebrand hare borne their fruit. To the gold which is to be given to him may be added the blood of the French officers and soldiers. You may be convinced of it by reading the accounts published in the Messager thirteen days after their reception. Is it not just to give an indemnity to the principal instigator of the revolt ? Two officers killed, 52 men wounded, out of 441. Is not that worth the 25,000 f. promised to Pritchard ? And had not M. Guizot a right to rail at the Opposition, and to show himself full of pride for having terminated without disgrace the affair of Ota heite? Will this revolt be at least the last? Has there not been another battle? We cannot say, but no doubt the Minister would have assured us of the fact had he been assured of it himself. All that we know is, that out of a population of 7,000 men, there were 1,000 armed and en trenched against us ; that they were provided with cannon, sited that for indolent beings they defended themselves with most unexpected bravery. All that we know is, that French blood flowed at Otaheite ; that our establish ment there is insecure, and that we are acting no longer as protectors, but as conquerors ; so that the present Ministers, whose cowardice is beneath contempt, have found means to bring on their hands the most stupid of wars, and they have arranged them so as to render their expense of men and money completely sterile. For, in fine, what is there at the conclusion of these battles ? There is the disavowal of Admiral Dupetit Thouars— the blame of d'Aubigny—the indemnity of Pritchard. Buy we demand, not of our friends, but of every citizen who has a drop of blood in his veins, what effect can such measures produce ? If the possession of Otaheite had been tranquil, our power in those seas would have been seriously weakened. But the English have succeeded in exciting an insurrection. We have fought three battles, and before our wounded men are healed, and at the moment, perhaps, when our mariners flatter themselves that they have conquered security by their devotion and their courage, Admiral Hamelin will have landed to fulfil his glorious mission. He will say to Queen Pomare, Resume your throne.' To the English, You were right to protest against our occupation.' To M. d'Aubigny, ' You are blamed.' To the friends of Mr. Pritchard, We are sorry for the injury which has been done to him, but he is to be indemnified.' We cannot coolly contemplate such a position ! We cannot discuss in famy We point it out Let the man of Ghent boast of these—they belong to him ! He may with a proud attribute make his journey to England. He can never receive as much homage there as lie deserves execration in his own country ! That man is responsible for the death of two French officers full of honour and of courage, aud for the wounds of our brave soldiers. He has ar rayed the entire population against us, and our situation le intolerable. Famine, an armed struggle, a disputed pt %session, an impracticable protectorate—all these aro the work of Mr. Pritchard. And yet France has twice apol ogised to him, and twice disavowed her own officers, in order to give him satisfaction. He has been instru mental in the death of Frenchmen, and for his trouble in organFzing the revolt we have indemnified him ! N. d'Aubigny, who detected him in the act and too clearly perceived the consequences of his intrigues, is blamed' for having come to an energetic and legitimate resolu tion, and we pay Mr. Pritchard the price of the bbod which lie has caused to be shed ! We disavow the con duct of Admiral Dupetit Thouars and Commander d'Aubigny, and award an indemnity to Mr. Pritchard." It is somewhat remarkable that in the official ac count the Otaheitans should be designated as rebels. The French Government having repudiated the assumption of sovereignty of Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, can scarcely be justified in designating as an act: of rebellion the resistance of the Otaheitans to that acicnowledged injustice. The following article in the Presse is considered to indicate that a change in the French Ministry is by no means improbable : " It is easy to accuse every Ministry of want of skill and of feebleness. It is easy to aggravate their faults. It is easy to pervert their intentions. What Ministry ever fotted favour in their eyes ? None. But would another Cabinet have done better than that in exist ence ? That is the question, and experience answers in the negative. Place yourself for a moment in the posi tion of MM. Mole, De Broglie, Thiers, and Guizot, and suppose that you were told—' Serious events are in preparation. If France yields, it is the sacrifice of dignity. If France resists, it is the sacrifice of peace. Your first movement would be to reply— ' There must be no hesitation between disgrace and war.' But, what would be your second answer if it were added—' France has not sufficient horses to remount her cavalry and artillery, should the • war be prolonged. She can fight but one battle, and she may lose that one. We must choose between an act of weakness or a disaster ?' You would, in the face of such facts, lower the tone of your voice, and you would bend your head, in order that the course of events might pass over it. And when the danger was passed (as you would not have sufficient time to study so many serious questions which remained to be resolved—as you would find that there was too much to be done, you would d) nothing)—you would attend to the most pressing mat ters, the business of the day. You would act like all previous Ministers, and you would, like them, fall under the weight of the task, without even having en deavoured to raise yourselves. It is thus that official business is conducted, and there is reason to fear that it will continue to be so conducted. Our great fault in France is to have too great a contempt for the minutiae —for materiel and orzanisation. May we become con vinned of this fact, and at a later period, perhaps, we shall repair the fault." Me same journal (La Presse) states that— " 'he evening papers, including the Moniteur Parisien, attribute the fall of 50 centimes which took place at the Bourse on Tuesday, in the Five per Cents., and of 45 centir ties in the Three per Cents., to the degree of con sistenoy assumed by the report of the approaching con clusion of the loan, notwithstanding certain assertions to the contrary. We believe that we can further assign as a cause fur this fall what has transpired relative to a plan for the conversion of the Fve per Cents, into a stock bearing four and a half per cent. interest, which is at present under the consideration of the Minister of Finance, who appears to have taken the vote of the the Chamber of Deputies into serious consideration. Perhaps this may be again denied, but it will be with raspect to this fact as it was with that relative to the loan—it will be not less true for being contradicted." A letter from Toulon, of the 15th, says— . _ " When the svadron under the orders of the Prince de Joinville arrived in thy; ioadstead of Cadiz, the officers had seen the letters which had been published by the Times, and had resolved to demand satisfaction of the officers of the Warspite, who were the presumed authors of them. With this view they went to the French Con sulate, and entered their names. They intended to send a deputation to the officers of the Warspite, but in the meantime the Prince de Joiuville had heard of their proceedings, and immediately wrote to the English Com modore a letter full of dignity, requesting in his own name, and in that of the officers placed under his orders, the retractation of the insults contained in the letters published by the Times as coming from the officers of the Warspite, We learn that the Commodore replied to the Prince, saying that he could not believe that there were in the English nary officers sufficiently base (asset !aches) to express doubts of the courage of French *fficers, and promising to insert in the Times the retrac tation that was called for. The Warspite very soon after the receipt of this letter arrived off Cadiz, and was about to cast anchor when she received orders to pro ceed to Gibraltar." We read in a letter from Oran of the sth : " In returning from the expedition which he directed, in April and May, in the south-east of the province of Constantine, General Rando►► crossed the territory of Beni-Salah, and remained there long enough to assure the regular exercise of the French rule. The principal grievance against this tribe, was the murder, in 1840, of Captain Saget and the Caid Mahmoud. General Ban don, in his passage, brought this affair before the Sheik, and required reparation. That chief and his leaders promised to make the affair their own, which they have since done, by driving the guilty persons across the country, and seizing their flocks and property. The Sheik Ould-Labeiss has just given a more marked proof of his sincerity, by killing, in a single combat, Mohammed ben-Gouem, one of the murderers. The head of the assassin, sent to the officer in command of the subdivi sion, was exposed on the 25th ult. in the market-place of Bona. A public crier stood at the foot of the stake, and from time to time cried out—' This head is that of Mohammed-ben-Gouem, one of the murderers of Cap tain Saget and the Caid Mahmoud. The justice of God is accomplished—his brethren themselves have been the instruments employed. Let them who feel inclined be convinced that it is really the head of Mohammed-ben- Gouem, and God will do the rest!' " THE BOURSE—WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 18. First Highest Lowest Price. Price. Price.

By a letter from Otaheite, dated April 24, being later than our previous advices, we learn that events have occurred at that island which, when stated in detail, as they are sure to be in future accounts, will place the character of French rule in the Southern Pacific beyond all question. At the time we refer to " the French had been cruelly murdering the natives by broadsides (f canister and grape from their two heavy frigates I The un happy Queen had been upwards of twelve weeks living with her family on board of our small ketch of war Basilisk, and during that long period had not dared to put her foot out of the vessel. The French had carried their unwarrantable measure of confisca tion of the Queen's property to so great an extremity that they had even seized upon the little presents of poultry, and fish, and fruit, which her sincerely at tached subjects had from time to time provided for her. These trifles the French had appropriated to their own personal uses !" These proceedings with relation to the Queen seem to savour a good deal of persecution, and very little of honesty. They are merely unrelentingly severe and disreputable. 'Tis the tyranny of the giant using his power like a giant, but in a little way. Nevertheless, the great gun practice with grape and canister, which is spoken of as a warlike service performed by heavy frigates against an un defended people, is an affair of too merciless a nature to be tolerated as the planned and deliberate exploit of the assumed-to-be skilled navy of a great and civilised nation.—Shipping Gazette. Tit S DAY'S NEWS CRIMINAL COURT -(THIS DAY. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WIGUTMAN end Mr. Justice CREswr.m..) THE CASH OE THE AUGUSTA. On the Learned Judges taking their seats to-day, at ten o'clock, Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN stated that he and hi, Learned Brother had turned their attention since yesterday to the arguments that had been put forth in this case, and they had come to the conclusion that the best course to adopt would be to postpone giving judgment till the next session ; the defendant, in the meantime, putting in the same bail for his appearance as he had done before. James Tayler and Thomas Bacon, the one a tailor and the other a bricklayer, were convicted of a burglary in the dwelling house of John Liverside, at Southgate, and stealing two bank notes, value 301., fifteen sovereigns, four half sovereigns, and a, watch, value 155., and sen tenced to ten years' transportation. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) J. Gardner was indicted fur stealing a silk handker chief from the person of Mr. G. Cooper, and R. Rain ford was charged with receiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen. J. Burton, a policeman, stated that on Thursday last he saw the prisoners together in Hyde-park, carrying on their usual occupation of pocket-picking. He saw the priscner Gardner taking something out of the pro secutor's pocket, the other prisoner, Hanford, " cover ing " him during the operation. It was proved that Rainford was before convicted of a similar offence. He was now therefore sentenced to ten years' transportation ; and the prisoner Gardner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard la bour. The sentence on the other prisoner was after wards commuted to two years' imprisonment. James Bozlett was indicted for stealing several articles, the property of Adam Day. The evidence was conclusive against the prisoner, and he was found guilty. COMMON SERGEANT—YOU and I have met before?— Prisoner—Not at all my Lord. COMMON SERGEANT—Yes, we have ; and you are so incorrigible that your fellow prisoners are not safe in your company. Prisoner—l don't know what you mean. COMMON SERGEANT—Yes, you do, very well. You stole a handkerchief last, and it was found on your neck. The sentence of the Court is, that you be imprisoned, with hard labour, for one year. John Green was placed at the bar, charged with at tempting to destroy himself by throwing himself into a pond near Clapham. common. It appeared from the evidence of a person named Maria Russell, that she saw the prisoner near the pond on the 11th of this month. He said that " from dust he came and to dust he would go, and would throw himself into the pond." He did so, aad was taken out insensible, but was restored. The prisoner said that his board and a bag of nuts were stolen from him coming from Camberwell fair, and he did not know what he was doing. He took a little drink and fell into the pond. The jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to five days' imprisonment in Newgate. A collection was made up for the prisoner, who seemed to hare but little intellect. He was told that a board would be purchased for him, and that he would get some money to buy more nuts. The poor fellow seemed over joyed, and promised that he would not attempt to drown himself any more. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A young man and woman, named John Williams Ha milton, and Mary Anne Smith, were placed before Mr. Jardine, charged with being found locked in each other's arms in a stable, in Ilungerford-market. The officer stated, that he saw the stable-door open last night, about twelve o'clock, and on going in, and examining with his light, he discovered the two pri soners in each other's arms, with a horse-cloth thrown over them. He roused them up, and took them into custody. The male prisoner, who looked rather sheepish when he was called upon for his defence, said he had met the female in the street, and having been acquainted before, and it being late, they went into the stable, as he was fearful of being locked out at his lodgings. He knew the owner of the stable. The girl who hid her face during the examination, and who appeared to be a servant, said nothing. Mr. JARDINE said they had rendered themselves liable to imprisonment, but as it did not appear that they had any felonious intent, he would discharge them this time. They were accordingly discharged. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) A cabman, badge 3,925, was charged with being drunk. The pour fellow, who has grown gray in the service of his master, and was never before convicted of any offence, became so completely overcome by intoxication on the previous day that when called from the cab-stand at Seymour-street, Euston-square, he was ten times more senseless than the horse. Police-constable E took him into custody. He put ss. in the poor-box, and thus was saved from the disgrace of a conviction, of which he seemed to entertain a salutary horror. The reporter has been requested to acknowledge the receipt of the following sums which have been received for the benefit of Charles Simmons, whose case has appeared in The Sun:—Henry Bertrand, I.ls. ; X Y Z, 1/. ; a Jew, 10s. ; E. T., 11. ; B. E., 10s. ; by Simmons, at his own residence, Anonymous, 2s. 6d. ; Mr. Gurney, the banker, 10s. ; a Lady, ss. ; a Gentleman, 1/. ; Ditto, 10s. ; a Lady, 2s. ; Post.office order, 1/. The readers of The Sun will be glad to learn that the result of the inquiries into Simmons' character fully justifies pablic benevolence. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY ) Elizabeth Preston, about thirty-five years of age, of rather superior manners and address, although her clothing was literally in tatters, was charged with begging in Stafford-street, Bond-street. William Horsford, the head-constable belonging to the Mendicity Society, stated that about seven o'clock last evening he saw the prisoner beg of five or six different gentlemen passing by. In pursuance of his directions from the Mendicity Society, he took her into custody. She had not succeeded in obtaining alms from either of the parties whom she had importuned. Mr. MALTBY—Is she known here ? Horsford—l do not kno her, sir; I do not think she has been here before. Prisoner—Yes, I have ; two months ago I brought a letter to you, Mr. Maltby, from a sister of mine at the West-end, who is in a very distinguished family. You relieved me then ; but:l afterwards became destitute. Horsford said there was no doubt about her statement being correct ; and, believing her to be deserving of assistance, he would, with the Magistrate's permission, refer the case to the consideration of the Mendicity Society. Mr. MALmr said that would be the better course to pursue ; and, for the woman's immediate necessity, Le would himself give her half a crown. The unfortunate female expressed, with strong feel ings of emotion, her sense of the Worthy Magistrate's kindness. UNION-HALL.--(THIS DAY.) John Tine was charged with stealing a time-piece from hot.se of a Mrs. Martin. The prisoner was observed the preceding afternoon walking from the direction of the complainant' s h ouse with something bulky under his coat. When he was stopped, a valuable time-piece was found c oncea l e d underneath his great coat, which he attempted to throw on the pavement, but was prevented. On subsequent inquiry it was ascertained that during the momentary absence of the complainant's servant from the street door, which she was cleaning at the time, the parlour was entered, and the time-piece stolen. The article being subsequently found in the prisoner's possession, he said that he found it in the street ; and as it is suspected ho has been engaged in several robberies of a similar description, he was remanded. CITY OF LONDON REGISTRY. (THIS DAY.) The revision of the Livery lists baring terminated [ast night, the Court, at its sitting to-day, proceeded to he revision of the household and freehold lists. Pur suant to notice given at the rising of the Court yester day evening, the Revising Barrister fi rs t t oo k the lists of the parishes contained in polling, or Parliamentary wards, of Aldersgate Within, Aldersgate Without, Aldgate, Billingsgate, Basingham, and Coleman -st ree t . Upon the household lists of the parish of St. Anne and St. Agnes being called on, Mr. Wansey said he considered that several of the no tices of objection which had been served in those parishes upon the overseers were invalid, because they were not sufficiently specific and definite. The overseers in the City of London had two lists—namely, the household and the livery list, and he contended that it was neces sary that, in objecting to the party, the notice should specify whether he was objected to as a freeman or a householder. Mr. Quin contended that this precise specification was not at all necessary, according to the intention and spirit of the Act of Parliament; because in this case the objection could be only applicable to the names upon the household lists. Under schedule Cof the Act there was a specific form to be observed with respect to the notice of objection to be served upon liverymen, and the same was the case with respect to householders ; therefore the notices of objection having been served according to the provisions of the Act, those notices which were objected to on the opposite side must be held to be as against householders. The Court concurred in the views of Mr. Quin, and confirmed the validity of the services of the objection. Mr. Wansey gave notice of his intention to appeal. CHRIST'S HosetTAL.—puling the revision of the list of Aldgate ward, the names of several persons hold ing official situations in this establishment, was objected to by Mr. Wansey ; amongst whom was Mr. Bouker, the writing -master to the hospital. It was contended, that Mr. Banker was not entitled to vote, inasmuch as his residence was within the precincts of the hospital. In support of the claim, evidence was adduced by Mr. Quin, to show that the residence which he occu pied in the hospital was considered to be part of his salary, and that if he were to reside out of the house he would receive an extra allowance. A long argument ensued upon the point between the agents on both sides, which was terminated by Mr. Wansey consenting to withdraw his objection, and Mr. Bouker's name was consequently allowed to remain on the registry. The revision of the household list proceeded but slowly, the Court having got no further than the Parliamentary Ward of Aldersgate. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RE 2, EIVED THIS DAY.)

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. Rather an extensive supply of English Wheat has been received up to our market since Monday. The trade with that grain was consequently extremely dull, and prices were barely supported. The imports of Foreign Wheat have been Small, and the show of sam ples this morning was rather scanty. The sale, however, was extremely dull, and the quotations were, in some in stances, a trifle lower. The supply of Barley was good. All descriptions were a mere drug, and decidedlycheaper. In Malt next to nothing was doing. Oats, Beans, and Peas, ruled about stationary. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Earley, Oats. Flour English. 5,140 qrs. 2,150 qrs. 3,140 qrs. 2,B6osaeks.

The numbers of Sheep were only moderate, yet the Mutton trade was in a very sluggish state, at about previous cur rencies. The Lamb trade was extremely slow, but no depression was noticed in value.

During the last ten days upwards of 1,200 pockets of New Hops have arrived here from Kent and Sussex, and been partly disposed of at from 81 to 101 5s per ewt. Old Hops, the supply of which is small, are a heavy sale, at barely late rates. The Duty is called at 130,0001. The following are the prices of yearlings :—East Kent pockets, 71 lOs to 10110 s ; Mid Kent,do., 61 10 to 81151; Sussex, do., 5/ 18s to 6/ 10s. comozczAz SUGAR.—The business done in British Plantation has not been large, but holders generally are firm. The total sales have not been equal to two or three weeks since. The only parcel offered by auction has been 150 hhds Barbadoes, which partly found buyers, fine yellow at 64s and good mid at 59s to 59s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—A good deal has been done in Bengal at high quotations ; 9,253 bags at auction have been sold at 63s to 705 for fine white, 61s to 61s 6d for mid, and 52s to 50s for yellow ; 173 bags Madras sold at 47s to 48s per cwt. Mauritius is quiet, and there have been no auctions ; fine is called 63s to 67s per cwt. REFlNED.—Standard Lumps have been in demand at 74s 6d to 755 per cwt. FOREIGN.—There has not been much doing. COFFEE.—British Plantation, as well as most oth er descriptions, has not been much in, but prices on the whole are steady. At auction 158 casks 60 brls realised 85s to 95s for mid Jamaica, 62s 6d to 63s for fine ord, 56s to 59s for good ord, and 30s to 35s for Triage. Ceylon has been firmer : good ord at 57s to 58s, and 480 bags by auction realised 75s to 85s for Pea berry, and 64s 6d to 66s 6d for fine ord pale Plantation sorts. Mocha has been about 74s to 76s for good, 821 bags St. Domingo have been sold at 27s 6d to 30s 6d per cwt. COCOA.—There is a moderate demand, without much being offered. SiicEs.—Pepper is firm, and a fair business is doing privately. Pimento is in request, at 3i-d to Alid, accord ing to quality. Cassia Lignea has been at fuller quota tions. RlCE.—This article continues dull, for, although scarce in some of the eastern colonies, the supply here is ample. Rusr.—There has been a good market for Jamaica, at 3a 10d to 4s 2d for 30 to 34 per cent. over proof, and proof Leewards have been sold at 2s sid to 2s 6d per gallon. The contract for 100,000 gallons was taken yesterday by one firm, supposed to be under 2s 3d per gallon. CorroN.—This article is dull. TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is 41s to 41s 6d for old, and 41s 6d to 41s 9d for new. The purchases are only for immediate consumption. TEA.- - -The demand is but limited, and prices are scarcely supported for the lower qualities. OSTEND AND DOVER.—The increase in the number of passengers during the month of August last over the corresponding month of last year, was, according to the official return, 1,875. The number would have been still greater if the authorities at the Admiralty had not re fused to accept the tickets of the south-Eastern Railway, whose agent would have been sent on board at Dover and Ostend to convert the said tickets into sovereigns in payment of the passage-money by the Government packets. STATUE OF HER MAJESTY.—The package which was landed at the St. Katherine's Dock, out of the ship Effort, from Leghorn, and which her Majesty's agent requested might remain unexamined until her pleasure should be known on the subject, was removed to Winalser Castle yesterday, in charge of an officer of the Customs, and there opened and examined. The package in ques tion contains a full length marble figure of the Queen, and was executed in Italy by, it is understood, the same English artist, Wolff, the sculptor of the statue of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, which was imported from Leghorn, and removed to Windsor Castle about a month since. ENGLISH POLITICIANS ABROAD.—The Whigs are all gone upon.their travels, the country having left them quite free to alter promener as long as they find it agree able. Speculation is very busy as to the motives by which some of the leading politicians are influenced • and it is roundly asserted th a t L or d John Russell has been into Germany with the intention of " warming up old animosities against France." This seems to be a most unprofitable branch of political cookery ; for, whoever tries to warm up old animosities, is likely to make a pretty hash of it.—Punch. CLOSE OP THE SALMON FISHING.—The salmon fishing closed here on Saturday. For some time prior, few fish were taken, and these not in the best condition. The season, however, on the wh o l e , h as b een a favour able one. tre need not remind anglers that rod or any other mode of fishing is illegal till February next, and that a heavy penalty attaches to any violation of the law.—Ayr Observer. SUPERIOR BARLEY.—Yesterday there was sold to Mr. Mehan, distiller, Waterside, by Mr. George Alexander Grange, 500 bushels of barley, of this year's growth, which weighed 571 b. per bushel, being the heaviest barley that we ever heard being produced in this country, and equal to the finest grown in the Lothians, from which the seed was produced.—Derry Journal. NAMES.--It is odd enough that a sheep when dead should turn into mutton, all but its head ; for while we ask for a leg or shoulder of mutton, we never ask for a mutton's head. But there is a fruit which changes its name still oftener ; grapes are so called when fresh, raisins when dried, and plumbs when in a pudding. COURT CIRCULAR. A deputation from the Brighton Railway Com pany and the Brighton and Chichester Railway Com pany, had an interview yesterday with the Earl of Dalhousie, at the office of Board of Trade. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town yesterday morning, from Beechworth House. The Right Hon. Gentleman had an interview with Sir Robert Peel. _ _ _ _ His Excellency M. Dedel had an interview with Mr. Addington at the Foreign-office, yesterday. Lord Stanley has returned to Knowsley Hall, Lan cashire, from Wiseton Hall, the seat of Earl Spencer. Sir James Graham had an interview with Sir R. Peel yesterday. A deputation from the Manchester and Leeds Rail way had an interview yesterday with the Earl of Dalhousie, at the Board of Trade. Chairman of the The Customs, Hon. s , and E. Mr. Stewart, jg Deputy_secrtary and Comp troller-General to the Commissioners for the Reduc tion of the National Debt, had interviews with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official residence in Downing -street. - REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.--The revision of the list of voters commenced on Monday last, and will be concluded before the end of October. By the Act of last year no barrister is to be paid more than 2001, including his expenses, and a fixed sum is now set aside for the purpose of the revision. It appears from a recent Par liamentary return, that in 1840 the number of registered electors in England and Wales for counties was 405,946, and in 1843 518,187; for boroughs the number in 1840 was 329,426, and in 1843, 338,351, showing the registered electors.for England and Wales in 1839-40 to be 825,372, and in 1842-3 to be 356,538. In Scotland the number in 1840 was 82,531, and in 1843, 85,044. The grand total for Great Britain in 1840 was 907,903, and in 1843, 941,782. The total increase in 1842-3 as com pared with 1839-40 was 33,394. It is expected that the list of the present year will be increased by the claims of lodgers to be registered. THE APPROACHING ELECTION FOR LORD MAYOR. •As the day of election for chief magistrate draws near, great excitement appears to prevail regarding the results. Mr. Alderman Thomas Wood being the senior of the Aldermen that have not passed the chair, is as a matter of course next in rotation, but whether he will be rejected a third time or not remains to be seen. In 1842 he was elected by the livery, but rejected by the Court of Aldermen, who selected Mr. Alderman Hum phery. In 1843 three candidates were proposed, viz., the present Lord Mayor (Magnay), Alderman Hum phery, and Alderman T. Wocd. Alderman Humphery declined filling the office a second time, and Alderman T. Wood demanded a poll, but shortly afterwards resigned. The poll, however, continued, and terminated in the re turn of Alderman Magnay, whose election was confirmed by the Court of Aldermen. During the last week, cir culars were addressed to several of the supporters of Al derman Wood, requesting them to attend a meeting at the Swan with Two Necks, Lad-lane, yesterday, for the purpose of adopting measures to secure his return. At the appointed hour several respectable individuals at tended, but no person was admitted to whom a circular had not been forwarded. Reporters were also excluded, consequently no statement of the proceedings can be laid before the public. It appears, however, that a most vigorous effort will be made for the return of Alderman Wood. Alderman Gibbs stands next in Potation. It is rumoured that the livery intend adopting some strong resolutions regarding his conduct. After Alderman Gibbs stands Alderman John Johnson, of Dowgate ward.
