The speech delivered by Lord Wnsazscurru last week at Leeds at a meeting of the friends and sup porters of the Society for Promoting the Increase of Church Accommodation, &c. —on which we have already commented in The Sun—is one that deserves more than a single cursory notice, for, in the first place, it is avowedly official in its character, and, secondly, it contains some exceedingly liberal and pertinent observations on one of the most important matters that can possibly come under the attention of the Legislature. Moreover, it is a decided move in the direction of toleration—a frank and manly ac knowledgment that, on the great question of national education, the claims of the Dissenters have a right to be consulted quite as much as those of the sticklers for orthodoxy; and that to consider the interests of the Church ex clusively, is to take but a purblind view of the case, such as no Government which presumes to call itself enlightened, is warranted in doing. " Prythee, think there are people out of Britain!" says one of Smuts- FEARE'S characters, in reply to the bigoted nationality of an individual with whom he is holding familiar con verse; and Lord WHARNCL/FFR calmly and cour teously rebukes the dogmatic prejudices of the high church party in the same enlarged spirit, remind ing them that the population of the kingdom is not solely made up of the orthodox ; but that a vast mass of the community consists of Dis senters from the Establishment, whose conscien tious scruples, and feelings, and interests have every possible claim on the attentive and favourable conside ration of Government. Language like this, which but twenty years ago no Cabinet Minister would have dreamed of using, is a sign of the times of the most auspicious character, and though it will doubt less give great offence to the more intolerant members of the Church, who entertain the same hatred of Dis sent that Commodore TRUNNION entertained of an attorney, yet it will be received by all liberal-minded individuals with the most unfeigned delight and ap probation. We have said that Lord WnanacurrE's speech contains some exceedingly satisfactory observations on one of the most important sub jects of the day. The subject to which we allude, is the profession of the schoolmaster, on which his Lordship thus expresses himself:—" No thing is more deplorable than the state of education, speaking generally, of the schoolmasters who affect to teach the people. No system of instruction can be of much value until we hare masters who shall be able to combine the improvement of the moral and religious knowledge of their pupils as well as of their manners, with the general education they may im part. No pains that can be taken are too much in this matter. I wish I could say that the busi ness of a schoolmaster could be truly called a pro fession. I wish that the middle and lower classes could see in the situation of the schoolmaster a sane• tion to which they might hope t o arr i ve, an d w hi c h would not only afford them a decent livelihood, but raise them in the scale of society to a station which the important trust reposed in their hands seems to require. This must be done by degrees, and yet perhaps there is no object more important." The vocation of schoolmaster—for, as yet, speaking of it ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. , In a fortnight from this day, it is the clearly un r The PROTEOSCOPE, as original Optieni Instrument, unli- derstood intention of our own Sovereign, Queen im.Le,t in its appliances to Nature and Art, a highly valuable addition to LONGBOTTOM'S OPAQUE-MICROSCOPE.

The Majesty of England will pay a fitting and a graceful homage to the true genius of social civilisation and happiness, in thus opening, as it were, the portals of its noblest temple. No more legitimate or glorious occupation can claim the attention of so young but so powerful a Monarch, than thus to celebrate a pacific triumph in honour of that commerce which has laid deep, broad, and permanent, the solid foundations of her ocean-girt throne. Two hundred and seventy-three years have elapsed since the most illustrious of her MAJESTY'S predecessors Queen ELlZABETH—ren dered similar honour, on the same site, to the goodly fabric which had been devoted to the same useful and peaceful purposes by the sumptuous generosity of one of her moat princely subjects—though a private mer chant—Sir THOMAS GRESHAM. The sound of trum pets and the proclamations of heralds on the 4th of January, 1571, announced to the loyal citizens of London the opening of their first " Royal Exchange•" A similar festivity is about to associate, in auspicious conjunction, the regal names of ELIZABETH and Vic- TORIA ; and, enshrined as the great memory of the Tunost is, in the sacred - recollections of an age of heroes and statesmen—(the lamps of contemporary history, and the guiding lights to all posterity)—the proud name of the Grts.rn will be illustrated to future ages by trophies of eqtial splendour, and haply of purer elements, earneir 6j; the matchless achieve ments of her subjects in all the nobler branches of scientific discovery ; in the moral and physical ame lioration of our species ; in the arts of peace ; and in the prowess of war. But, its now it is, so may it ever continue to he, the true and lasting glory of VICTORIA'S reign to cultivate and cherish, and extend to those remotest limits of the habitable globe which are reached by the power of her sceptre, or the enter prise of our commerce, the blessings of peace, and all the holy relations ,of amity and improvement which they diffuse throughout the great family of mankind! In this feeling his, that we could devoutly wish to be hold her MAJESTY in the act of inaugurating the newly erected fabric which is about to become the centre of the trade of the world, accompanied by another Sove reign, with whose invaluable life are bound up the highest destinies of his own country ; the peace of Europe ; the best interests of the present generation ; the most important of all legacies to the next. If King LOUIS PHILIPPE can be induced to dignify with his presence so remarkable a proceeding, we are quite satisfied that all the citizens of London would ►ie, one with another, to pay all honour to the most distinguished foreign guest who has yet arrived within this realm to greet our QUEEN and partake of her regal hospitality in the time-honoured halls of her renowned ancestors. They will hail, with accla mations of the most cordial respect and the most profound admiration, that gifted and sagacious King, whose inflexible constancy of purpose has vindicated his recorded pledges for the maintenance of peace, , against all the intrigues of incessant factions; all the fury of popular clamour; all the remonstrances of ignorant but impetuous delusion. The Corporation of this vast City—supreme among capitals in opu lence, population, trade, luxury, charity, perhaps in its physical health, and, *in short, in all the enjoy ments which fellow in the train of honourable peace —(marred by no unworthy concession, vitiated by no sacrifices of self-respect, of national dignity and strength, of public duty or honour)—that Corporation would be eager to testify its regard and reverence for , LOUIS PHILIPPE. The Livery, through all its various guilds or companies, would thoroughly participate in this alacrity to tender some expression of the high sense they must entertain of the exertions this Illustrious Prince has made in advancing the mari time trade of his dominions. They would see, in the marvellous advances which the elegant capital of France has made within the last fifteen years, irre fragable evidence of the beneficial genius of the King of the FRENCH—of his prodigious talents for govern ment—and of the wisdom and the capacity which have enabled him to develop the resources of his mighty kingdom, in channels the most conducive to the internal repose and happiness, and the political greatness of his people. They would, we are con fident, be greatly gratified with such an opportunity of manifesting their conviction that the prosperity of universal commerce reckons among its guarantees few that are surer or more precious than the pro longed life and reign of the able and munificent Monarch who, tested by adverse fortunes in earlier years, and in the obscurity of a private station has so thoroughly qualified himself to discharge, with be coming grandeur and consummate judgment, the sovereign functions to which he has been so memor ably called by the voice of the French people. If there be one accessory, in fine, that can enhance the impression—and give additional effect to the cere- , mony —of inaugurating the New Royal Exchange, it may be most gracefully and memorably supplied by the propitious appearance of King Louis PHILIPPE at the right hand of Queen VICTORIA. generally, it can scarcely he called a profession—is one that has been too long undervalued. It has been regarded, in fact, as no better than a trade, and has been a fertile theme of laughter and ridicule for wits, satirists, dramatists, and writers of fiction, for Heaven knows how many years ! The dominic in Scotland and the pedagogue in England, who for gets how often these characters have been , ridiculed on the stage and in the novel—how many grotesque peculiarities have been attributed to them, calculated to lower them in their own esteem as much as in that ofothers ! Now why should this be ? Surely the vocation of the schoolmaster is at least as honourable—at least as much entitled to public respect as that of the soldier or the sailor ? Yet, while we look up with a feeling almost akin to reverence, on the profession of arms, we despise the less showy calling of the schoolmaster, and allow him no definite station in society, unless he happen also to be a member of the Church of England. Yet it is this unregarded cha racter who moulds, or should mould, the tastes, the feelings, the moral—religious---and literary opi nions of the rising generation, and to whose silent, unobtrusive influence the community is indebted for some of the choicest blessings it enjoys ! To raise the character of the schoolmaster—to give him equal rank with the clergyman, the lawyer, the physician, the soldier, and the sailor—is an imperative duty on Government, and one that it cannot long neglect with impunity. Lord WHAaNcrarrE, we are glad to see, is paving the way for such a reform in our educational system—a reform to which even the most haughty and bigoted high Churchman would find it difficult to offer any rational or valid objection. Madrid journals of the 23d ult. have been received, but they bring no intelligence of public interest. Mr. BULWER, after having installed the Spanish Consul at Tangiers, had arrived at Cadiz, and was daily ex pected at Madrid. The Herald() states that, on the 16th Admiral Sir E. OWEN had given, in celebration of the restoration of peace between France and Morocco, a grand ban quet on board the Albion, to which all the officers of the foreign ships of war were invited. The Three per Cents. were done at 27 13-16 for cash, and 28k at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21 at 60 days ; the Floating Debt at 66 at 60 days ; and the Coupons at 26i for cash. offence at it. You had a right to conquer at Isly and seize on Mogadore, it being my determination not to avail myself of your victory, nor to retain your conquest. Marshal Bugeaud may plan your battles, provided Mr. Bulwer regulates the condition of peaeo. Do not conse quently suffer yourself to become intoxicated by the smell of gunpowder ; or imagine that we are serious when you hear the report of cannon. We maintain an army of 340,000 men, because we want patrols to keep order in. France, and because the sight of uniforms and the spectacle of military manoeuvres are princely sports. We are playing a game of soldiers, but we entertain no idea of making use of them. Sleep quietly in your gar rison towns; we shall never want you for any great war; we have promised it to all those coalesced kings who are still trembling at the recollection of Marengo, Jena, and Austerlitz. There is no advantage in making war, even when a nation has attained the object for which it has fought, because ultimately the losses are always greater than the gains. I hold war to be a malediction." The preparations for the KING'S journey to Eng land were carried on with great activity. The Elau steamer had arrived at Havre from ' Cherbourg, where it was to take on board the cases containing chrystal and Sevres china which the King of the FRENCH is to present to Queen VICTORIA. The squadron was in readiness, and after a trial trip to Dieppe, with Admiral Le 5U8513 on board, had returned to Cherbourg. Letters from Cadiz of the 18th state that the Prince DB JOINVILLE was still in the harbour on that day, and was not expected to leave for Toulon before the 23d. The vessels sent to bring away the garrison of the island of Mogadore had not yet returned to Cadiz, with the exception of the Pluton steamer, which reached on the 17th with a company of grena diers of the 3d Regiment of Marines, which had formed part of the garrison. We find the following in the Toulonnais of the 24th ult.:— " A few days before the conclusion of the treaty of Tangiers, we were in a full state of war. The steam corvette Veloce arrived suddenly at Tangiers, where the Prince of Joinville and a large part of the squadron were drawn up, and announced that the Moors were repairing the fortifications of Mogadore, and were hastilylarming a battery which might do great damage to then:lan vessels left to protect the garrison on the island. Some cannon shot bad already been fired. Orders had at once been given for the Triton and the Belle Poule to dismantle the Moorish battery, and they were ordered to send some troops on shore to spike the guns ; but peace having been signed, the Pluton was seat off in all haste for Mo gadore, and carried orders for the Triton and Belle Poule to do nothing against the fortifications of Mogadore, and for the garrison to evacuate the island forthwith." At Ton Tom's on Sunday the Three per Cents. were quoted at 82f. 7c. On Sunday his Majesty Louts Pntrarre reviewed the regiments quartered in Paris and the neighbour hood, in the court of the Tuileries. The KING mounted his horse at one o'clock, and distributed a number of decorations to certain officers and soldiers of each regiment, when the flags captured at Isly were presented to his MAJtsrr, and afterwards car ried along the whole line. The trophies were then conveyed by a division of the Guards to the Hotel des Invalides and delivered to the Governor and Staff, to be exposed to public view in the church. The fol lowing is a programme of the proceedings. It will be seen that the review was entirely confined to the troops of the line :--In conformity with the orders of the General commanding the first division the troops will assemble en grande tenue at mid-day—the infantry in the court of the Tuileries, the cavalry and the artillery in the quays. After the review, the standard bearers, with their guards, and with the officers and under-officers, proposed for the deco ration of the Legion of Honour, will assemble in the court of the Tuileries. After the lingo shall have given the decorations, the Moorish colours will be car ried between the lines of the infantry and cavalry, tha drums will beat and the trumpets sound the march. When the troops shall have defiled, they will advance in the following order to the Hospital of the Inva lides :—The infantry, preceded by a detachment of the Municipal Guard. In the centre of the column, between the 17th and 23d regiments of infantry, a column of picked men will be placed, consisting of fifteen companies of men chosen from the grenadiers and voltigeurs of each regiment. In the middle of that column will he placed the colours and trophies taken from the Moors. Colonel RIPPERT, of the 23d regiment of the line, will be the commander of the chosen column. The artillery will follow the infan try ; the cavalry after the artillery. The infantry and cavalry will be stationed on the quays. The under officers appointed to carry the colours and trophies will be furnished by the following regi ments : 7 —The Municipal Guard, 2 ; the Veterans, 4 ; 9th Cuirassiers, 1 ; sth Dragoons, 1 ; 3d Hussars, 8 ; Bth Lancers, 1 ; 2d Light Infantry, 1 ; sth Light Infantry, 1 ; 17th Light Infantry, 3; 28th Infantry of the Line, 2 ; 24th infantry, 2 ; 40th ditto, 1 ; 47th ditto, 2 ; Artillery, 1; 10th Light Infantry, 2 ; 50th Infantry, I.—Total, 28 under officers. Those 28 under officers, en grande tenue, and armed with their swords only, will go, at mid-day precisely, to the Hall of the King's Aides-de-Camp, at the Tuileries, where the colours and trophies will be delivered to them. After the ceremeny of depositing the trophies the troops will return to their barracks." The KING was well received, and appeared in good health. The National cannot let the occasion pass without an attack on the French Govern ment, taking care of course to include England in its vituperations. That journal of Sunday contains the following bitter remarks on the proceedings :—A grand parade is to take place on the quays, on the occasion of the grand victories obtained over Mo rocco, and of the glorious peace just concluded. The KING will review the troops of the garrison, and the flags captured from the Moors will be solemnly con veyed to the Invalides, including, no doubt, the famous parasol, for which the magnimity of the Juste Milieu has refused to accept a ransom. The Minis terial papers make no mention of the parasol, nor do they either say anything of MULEY'S tent, which is to be placed upon the grand basin of the Tuileries, yesterday drained for the purpose. The fate, as is seen, will be magnificent, and will remind one to perfection of the times when the Generals of France brought to the Government the flags of Arcola and Austerlitz. Provided the rain that falls this evening in torrents permit it, the review will be a fine one. The National Guard will only be wanting to it, probably because the glorious conquests achieved in Morocco are not considered to have sufficiently rekindled its enthusiasm. And yet such is 'what an almost official print announces this evening in mighty pompous words. Here is a sample of them The Moorish flags will pass between the lines of infantry and cavalry ; the drums will beat and the trumpets sound the march.' Who on reading such things would not fancy that one of those victories is to be celebrated whereby a nation sees its moral power increased tenfold ? No, all that is to be celebrated is a battle in which we have had thirty-seven killed and seventy-eight wounded, and after which Marshal BUGBAUD advanced a league in order to retire as quick as possible. We have also to celebrate a naval victory, which had, indeed, given us the island of Mogadore, but the evacuation of that island immediately followed. Lastly, we are about to celebrate a peace, which concludes nothing, which makes us pay the expenses of the war, which permits ADD-BL-KADER to continue to molest us, and which has evidently been imposed upon us by England. How can they then imagine that the Moorish rags exhibited to the Parisians will be potent enough to conceal the barrenness of such victories, and the opprobrium of such a peace ? They have been quite right not to invite the Parisian National Guard to this extempore fate, and keep up towards it the system of suspicion in which it has for several years past been kept. The National Guard would probably have seized the opportunity of calling the Ministry to account for the ignoble PRITCHARD affair, and the no less shameful conduct they have held in Morocco. The public will no doubt be, as usual, kept at a great distance whilst the KING reviews the troops. Since ovations are wanted, they must con fine themselves to the closed-gate files, celebrated between a squadron of cavalry and a battalion of infantry, until the day when the Ministers shall con duct the KING to England, to enjoy there the unani mous explosion of gratitude which they cannot fail to kindle wherever they move." The Siecle is still more personal in its attacks on the lino, and proposes that M. GUIZOT should draw up some such speech as the following to be delivered by Louis PHILIPPE on the occasion : " I am pleased with the army, it has done its duty ; but lam still more pleased with diplomacy. The army , has given me a glory, which it has pail for with its is blood ; but what glory ? A little smoke, and what is still worse, a means of displeasing Sir Robert Peel. Diplomacy has procured me peace, a peace that will give umbrage to no Cabinet : a result which I always desired. May God grant me the maintenance of peace ! Soldiers! I allow you to fall upon the Arabs, and exercise your courage against the people ut Morocco, who should invade , our territory, pro Tided, however, the English (IQ not take I DAVIDGE'S ROYAL.

To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Tower); and Steeples reflected in the spa sious Lake, to be fully appreciated.

OVERLAND MAIL The French Government, on Monday, received the following telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles : " MALTA, SEPT. 25. " The Liverpool steamer arrived here last night, from Alexandria, with the India mail. The intelli gence from Bombay, of the 27th of August last, is devoid of interest. "The detachments of troops sent into the territory of Shikapoor had been compelled to retreat, in con sequence of the want of water and the intensity of the heat. " An expedition was being prepared in Caubul against the King of Bokhara. It is to be commanded by Akbar Khan. " The Punjaub is in a state of ferment, daily in- creasing. " Lord Ellenborough is expected here in the course of the day." The Suffren ship of the line arrived at Toulon, on the 26th, from Cadiz, where she left the Prince de Joinville on the 21st.

As usual, preparatory to the close of the financial quarter, there is an increased demand for money, and first-class bills have been done at 2} per cent., while the Bank is stated to be doing nothing under 3 per cent. Upon payment of the dividends, however, there will be ampler supplies of cash in the discount market. It is so far fortunate that new railway projects, and tolerable activity in trade, serve to absorb the surplus, and to check the desire to engage in foreign loans, companies, or hazardous ventures. Even t he reduction of interest on the State debts of certain continental kingdoms will have the salutary effect of making parties better contented with sterling British securities, the high rate of interest of fered by the American and Peninsular Governments having ever proved a tempting bait, but eventually a serious loss. The advices received from the United States yesterday respecting the prospects of resumption are not consi dered so favourable as was expected. The latest parti culars of the Cotton trade from a New York paper, fully confirm the imprestion entertained here by those not engaged in undue speculation in the staple, that there would be a crop of 2,000,000 bales. We learn in the Canada advices that the interment of Mr. Samuel Street, the great merchant of Canada, had taken place with much pomp. The wealth of th e de ceased is stated to be exceedingly large, especially taking into account the value of money, and the relative means of individuals in colonies, and his death excited corro sponding interest.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 28.—The Government has received from the Belgian Consul a decision of the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce dated the 14th of August reducing the several terms of quarantine imposed on goods coming from the Levant. Letters from Paris have announced that King Leopold would shortly go to England. Wo know nothing here of such a journey. By a royal resolution of the Roth June, Count d'Oul trement is discharged from the post of Minister Plenipo tentiary at Rome. Another resolution of the Ist of September confers on Count d'Ooultrement the rank of Commander of the Order of Leopold. A man who was lately arrested on suspicion of having been concerned in a robbery, proved to have committed a new species of roguery. The blouse and other new clothes which he wore were given him a few days since by the Jesuits, when he was baptized, after having abjured the Protestant religion. But it has since been discovered that this man has changed his religion two or three times, receiving each time new clothes and pecuniary relief. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, SEPT. 17.—The Prussian Gazette lately contradicted the statement that the ex portation of corn from Poland was prohibited ; it is only partly correct; the prohibition, which is already revoked in consequence of the abundant harvest, referred only to the Vistula, that the city of Warsaw and the country on its banks, which had suffered so severely by the inunda tion, might not be exposed to temporary scarcity. The danger is now past. Tho prices are falling, and one speculator in corn after another is obliged to stop pay ment. The losses are said to be immense, but the spe culators were really extravagant. The new agrarian legislation is Poland causes a very great sensation; The ecclesiastical institutions are de prived of the independent encouragement of their estates. The State fetters the land with the condition that the peasants shall be emancipated during the lease. The clergymen are thus deprived of a great portion of their influence, and a prospect opened to the peasant of be coming in time a free landowner. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Baussus, Sarr. :8.

The line, however, which has been ac tually surveyed by its engineer, Sit' John Rennie, and termed the " Direct Northern Railway," is attracting amongst practical men the greatest attention. This line will form the nearest route to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Halifax, Bradford, Huddersfield, 'Wakefield, Ponte fract, and Sheffield, thus commanding the traffic of the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, as well as that from the north of England, Scotland, Lincolnshire, and the other agricultural districts through which it passes, and, moreover, opening an easy communication be. tween Norfolk and Suffolk, and the West and North of England. It would further seem, by a reference to the map, that Sir John Rennie has taken a course for the Direct Northern line which possesses the advantage of being much shorter in extent than the other projects, being less by 39 miles than the one, and 20 miles shorter than the other. SHIPS-OF-WAR BUILDING.---The following is the official list of the ships-of-war that are being built at the different royal dockyards on the Ist of October, 1844.

On account of the pro surr,ed equality of the men, judging by their previous performances, a more than usual degree of interest veas excited, and the betting, although commencing at 5 and 6 to 4 on Robinson, settled down to even money at starting. Precisely at half-past two o'clock the men were brought on the ground; and after no less than nine false starts went away at full speed, the American having the advantage by about half a yard, which he continued increasing until he arrived at the winning post, beating his antagonist by about two yards. The distance was run in nine seconds and a half. Sherrin, by this victory, has placed himself in the eery first rank of runners for a short distance, and it would be very difficult to find a competitor who would have any chance with him. It was generally remarked that more money was laid out upon this race than upon any similar event for a long cite pa 4, SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubltt Optnton. " Who runs may read." rolazicizr. On Sunday Louis Philippe reviewed the troops in the garrison at raris. He was accompanied by the Duke de Nemours, the Duke de Montpensier, Marshal Soult, and a brilliant staff. The Queen, Princesses, and Court, were also present. Most of the Paris papers notice the meeting of the Missionary Society held at Exeter-hall last week. It, of course, affords the opposition journals little satisfaction. The National which burlesques the proceedings, calls the Presi3ent " le sage Culling Ettrdley Smith," and the Con stitutionnel simply " Sir Calling Eardley." The Moniteur announces that Admiral Parseval Des chesnes has been nominated a G rand Officer of the Legion of Honour, and that the three ships of war which were detached from his fleet, and placed under the command of the Prince de Joinville, had been ordered to rejoin th• fleet of Admiral Parseval Deschenes immediately. The Constatutionnel states that the French Govern ment was resolved to terminate the war with Morocco at any price, and that the Duke of Glucksberg had been furnished with positive instructions to that effect. The private correspondence of the Toulonnais from Algiers, of the 20th of Sept., states that fears are enter tained of an outbreak of the Kabyles on tho Tunis fron tiers of Algeria, who, taking advantage of the absence of so large a portion of the army on the frontiers of Mo rocco, begin to threaten the French possessions. The Journal of the Two Sicilies of the 17th September has the following paragraph :—" His Excellency the Duko de Montebello ' Ambassador of his Majesty the King of the French at our Court, had the honour to present to his Majesty our King, on the sth, in a private audience, a letter, whereby his august Sovereign demands of his Majesty the hand of her Royal Highness Princegs Caroline Augusta of Salerno for his Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale. Similar letters, containing the same demand on the part of her Majesty the Queen of the French, were presented on the same day by his Excel lency to their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Salerno, and to her Royal Highness their daughter. We can announce that the marriage contract has been signed." A letter from the frontier of Italy, published in the Augsburg Gazette of the 25th, states that the Duke d'Aumale's marriage with the Princess of Salerno %ill take place in two months, and that Austria will give her Royal Highness a marriage portion of 200,000 florins, because her mother is the Emperor's sister. A Madrid letter of the 23d has the subjoined post script :—" Two detonations, the cause of which is as yet unknown, have just been heard in the direction of the Alcala-street. Crowds of people are hastening to the sr ot. Unto the moment of closing this letter it has been impossible to procure authentic information as to what is probably but an accident. This capital is perfectly quiet." We copy the following from the Cologne Gazette of the 27th of September :—" Frontiers of Turkey, Sept. 16.—There is now no doubt that the revolt of the poli tical convicts of Telaga was produced by despair. When Prince Bubesco arrived, several threw themselves on their knees, imploring mercy. But the Prince repelled them, and even declared to some that they had got off too easily. On this the revolt broke out. Thirteen convicts and five soldiers were killed, and twelve se riously wounded. The fate of the convicts has now be come still worse. They are obliged to pass their nights in the salt mines. It is •said that the bayard Descheu has made disclosures which will gravely compromise Prince Milosch." LAW AND POLXCII. A meagre shabby-looking fellow, in a dark green coat, who stated his name to be Edward Roberts, was brought before Sir P. Laurie at the Mansion-house, in the custody of John Mitchell, City policeman 579, charged with having stolen a clock, value 41. 10s., in the house of Mr. Simpson, licensed victualler, in Fenchurch street. The prisoner confessed the theft, but as several other clock robberies have been recently committed, Sir Peter remanded him to give time for further inquiries. In the case of Maria King, who was committed for four teen days for breaking windows, Sir Peter said that the prisoner should only have the smallest amount of diet consistent with the preservation of life, as he was deter mined persons should not get fat by window-breaking. At Guildhall, William Ransom, the conductor of one of Meredith's Bayswater omnibuses, was adjudged to be imprisoned fur one month f or m i s b e h av i our i n misdirect ing a lady as to the route of a rival omnibus, lately started by a Mr. Norton, and which there seems to be a combi nation to run off the road. Amongst the charges brought before Mr. Henry at Lambeth-street, was one against a middle-aged female, named Margaret llealey, for stealing a piece of ham of the value of fourteenpence, from the shop-window of Mr. James Jenkins, a cheese monger, in the Mile-end-road. The accused, who, from her address and manners, it was evident had seen better days, declared she had committed the act in order to ensure a shelter for the night. She had, she said, been turned out of the workhouse of the parish of St. George's, Hanover-square, about one o'clock on the Saturday, without a single farthing in her possession ; and after wandering about she scarcely knew where, and being without the means of procuring a morsel of bread, or a shelter for the night, she had, in a moment of despair, determined to commit some act for which she might be taken into custody. It appeared that the defendant was a well-educated and accomplished woman, and had lived in several families of distinction in the capacity of travelling companion, but that fallii g into poverty, she had been ban died about from the parish-officers of St. George's to the police-officers of Marlborough-street until on one occasion she had fainted in the street from exhaustion. The magistrate directed Cooke, one of the officers, to procure her a decent lodging in the neighbourhood and see that she was provided with what was necessary, while he opened a communication with the parties in whose service she had formerly lived. At the Thames-office, Thomas Sleeman, a wheel wright, and John Sharp, a sackmaker, in the employ of Mr. Wright, coal merchant, at Ratcliff-cross, were brought before Mr. Broderip on a charge of causing the death of a girl named Ann Conolly. The deceased and her sister were stationed near Mr. Wright's coal wharf, each with a basket of fruit before them on th• ground, and the prisoners commenced backing a large coal waggon, to which no horses were attached, along a de clivity leading to the wharf. They called out to the girls to get out of the way or they would be run over. The deceased stooped to pick up her basket of fruit, and at the same moment the waggon started down the incline at full speed, and overpowered the men, who were unable to stop it. The wheel caught the deceased, and she was crushed in a frightful manner between the waggon and the post. As there appeared to be no doubt but that the unfortunate occurrence was purely accidental, the prisoners were discharged on entering into their own recognisances to appear on Monday. John Farrell was charged, at Clerkenwell, with cutting and wounding Henry Bar ; and he was further charged, in company with Patrick Burke, John Milen, and Mary Milan, with ♦iolently assaulting John Russell, and with assaulting police-constables 275, 398, and 421 of the N division. It appeared that the defendants, who were all Irish, set upon a young Englishman, named Russell, when Bar, interfering, was knocked down and kicked; and the police-constables, who interfered to keep the peace. were also assaulted.

His Grace the Duke of Roxburgho is at present at Broimouth on a visit to the Duchess Dowager, previous to bar Grace leaving for Bath.

By direction of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, workmen have began to erect a pillar upon the summit of the western portion of Grosvenor-gate, Hyde Park-corner, which is intended for the reception of an illuminated clock. The clock will have two dials—viz., one facing Hyde-park, and the ether fronting Grosvenor place. A further improvement is in contemplation, that of removing the remainder of the brick wall which is standing between Albert-gate and Kensington, and sub stituting iron palisades. Lord Panmure, father of the Right Hon. Fox Menlo, M.P., has signified it as his desire to subscribe the muni ficent sum of 5001. towards the triumphal arch proposed to be erected at Dundee, to commemorate the visit of her Majesty and her illustrious Consort. The loyal inha bitants of that prosperous town have agreed upon an arch, as was the case with the Perth people, when the Queen visited that ancient city in 1842. On Saturday, Mr. Samuel Gray was, on application to the queen's Bench Chamber of Dublin, admitted to bail —the Crown offering no opposition—on finding bail, himself in 1,0001., and two sureties of 2001. each. Upwards of one hundred tons of hay and straw hare been shipped from Limerick to Liverpool in the course of last week. The projected railway from Derry to Coleraine in volves the reclamation from the Sf a of waste land, whose estimated value is 800,0001., which will be double the estimated expense. So great is the demand for Irish railway shares, that tea thousand more than could be given were solicited for the Belfast and Ballimena line. Monday, according to annual custom, meetings took pace in the various parishes in the metropolis for the purpose of nominating persons to fill the office of over seers for the year, passing the churchwardens' accounts, and on other parochial business.

A numerous body of the clergy were present. After the customary sermon a very lengthened charge to the clergy of the diocese was delivered by the Hey. Chancellor Desltiey. The Government contract for Irish provisions hes been taken principally by Limerick houses ; the price is NC per cwt. for pork, and 245. for beef. The report of an extensive Brevet is again circulated, but we have reason to believe on no good authority. A new regulation respecting the admission of pupils to Eton, and which has been long contemplated, has now been determined upon ; a notice having just been issutd by the Rev. Dr. Hawtrey, the head master, that after Easter next he will not admit any boy to the school who shall have completed his fourteenth year.
