do his utmost to further the cause of Repeal or Federalism, it is wholly out of the question that he can surrender either of these measures, much less both, as our Contemporary plainly tells him he must do, if he would wish to be patronised by Whiggery. All things considered, therefore, the Tories here not much cause for apprehension. A direct offensive and defensive alliance can never be entered into between O'CONNELL and the English Liberal party, for the latter will not support either Federalism or Repeal, and the former cannot abandon, though he can never hope to carry, either. Toryism, therefore, has now E N G LANI-rri%':n.lich in its power as regards Ireland.

We have little doubt that the reme dial measures with which Sir ROBERT PEEL is now reported to be busy, will be such as will be advan tageous to the sister country ; but we are by no means sanguine as to their comprehensive character, and fear that they will only have the effect of warding off his " difficulty" for a season. tEORGE PEACE, of I,i7etv ec .. gse e.r,—ln the early part of thi s year I .was in cAniPany; with roral wzminercial gentlemen, at the Nate 'Calle6 the Jack of New -3; '.nd unguardedly made übd tlf eitilressions detrimental to your c a _ a r r Acter and respectability. now acknowledge there was no fbundt 4 „," Ilmade, and trtst you are willing to - on for the assertions ..cept my expression of regret et a ' having eed any like . l .; to d o you i njury, and the offer of try polorT , I ant, Sir, yours, &e..

So lately as the sth instant it became our melan choly duty to call the attention of the public to the catastrophe by which, only a day or two previously, one hundred people had been sacrificed—in an instant of time—at the Haswell Colliery ! With profound regret we have since had to announce another dis aster of the same nature, though (fortunately) not attended with the sacrifice of human life to the same appalling extent as occurred at Haswell. But, on the night of Monday last, at Coxlodge Colliery, near N ewcastle-upon-Tyne, an explosion took place, by which five persons, within the workings, were se riously injured, of whom two are so much maimed that no. hopes can be reasonably entertained of their recovery ; one of these (BAINsainGE) having been blown against a tub, by the explosive force, with such violence as to fracture his thigh hone; the other (CoLuNs) having been violently felled to the ground, and remained there for no less than two hours, in an atmosphere saturated with the deleterious " choke damp"—that noxious and inflammable gas, the escape of which is the grand agent of these terrible cala mities. From the best accounts hitherto obtained, it would seem that, at the time this explosion took place, there were, in the mine, seventy-nine men and boys variously employed in the several districts into which the " workings" are divided. " Shifters," as they are called, had been engaged, in the morning and afternoon, clearing away where the coal hewers were to get to their work at night. Five of these coal hewers were waiting, to commence these opera tions, till BROWN, the " deputy," should have ex mined the workings and reported " all right." Two of he sufferers, ANDERSON and COLLINS, had concluded their day's work as shifters, when they were re quested by the "deputy" to assist him in removing come tramway pieces out of the " goaf," as " it was likely to fall." This fact, and the one which follows, are well calculated to excite a lively idea of the fearful hazards to which these poor pitmen are ex posed. They went with the " deputy," but had to return immediately, as the " goaf," or gallery, was already " working," that is, creeping and heaving ! BROWN, the deputy, although these unfortunate ~ hifters had been working with proper safety lamps, committed, it would seem, the unpardonable impru dence of carrying a naked candle to the " stenting," from whence, if from any point, the jet of gas would come, "to see if the place," as he said, " was safe for the hewers to operate upon, whom he had in waiting, to put on." It never seems to have occurred to him to consider what must be the consequence of his action, should the place not prove safe. Although expressly cautioned by ANDERSON to take his candle back, "as there was danger, if the goaf fell," he per sisted in carrying it on to this stenting, where the 4as actually had formed, and now ignited with an explo iion which was felt throughout the entire mine, but most providentially exhausted itself within a hundred yards of the area of ventilation in the mine, from whence the stream :of air is subdivided and distri buted through the different districts or flats of the colliers. Had it travelled on to this place, says the report, and blown down the erections by means of which this distribution is effected, " every man in the pit at the time would have been killed." As it was, two of the coal hewers (ANDERSON and KENT), who awaited BROWN'S return, were most seriously injured, as already stated ; COLLINS, a shifter, was severely burnt, and with BROWN, the deputy (al though this latter, after the gas had fired, ran away so quickly as to reach the shaft in safety), is not ex pected to survive.

HIGH WATER AT LONDOS.BRIDGE THIS DAY. Morning .. 6 minutes after 7i Evening ... 43 minutes after 7 In a former article we quoted, at length, the preamble of one of the burked Bills of last session, called " A Bill for establishing District Registers of all Mining Operations in England and Wales." We remarked, that had it happily have been passed into law, there was every probability, that by means of :he scientific supervision which its clauses went to provide, the Haswell casualty would not have oc 2urred. Precisely the same remark applies to the unhappy accident we are now considering. The Coxlodge Colliery belongs to Messrs. BELL, BRAND' LING, and Co., and has always been deemed a very well ventilated one. But, if we may credit the state ment published, recenti facto, in the Miners' Advo late, it would appear that the deputy, BELL, to whose rashness or incompetency the disaster appears to have been so mainly attributable, had been brought up to the plough, and was neither accustomed, nor compe tent, to the due discharge of the responsible - post he 'Hied. If this be so, a stronger case could not have been raised to demonstrate the necessity for carrying )ut the general propositions of the Bill in question, 04 the full extent of their scope and spirit. It is evi 4;7l dently indispensable that gese,Aines should be pen:- stantly visited by duly qualified members or officers I of a Commission, composed of sCientificiandtradtkal I men, well acquaint %ill Cie natui c al laWs whiCTI regulates. the_generation,and. the.„phenomena which Announce the presence, of these noxious vapours. It is as evidently requisite, with a due regard to the de mands, in the first place, of a humane and provident policy, and in the second, of the owners of capital Ind property already sunk, or about to be invested, in such extensive works, that a careful, accurate, and periodically attested register of every preceding week's operations should be organized and main- tained, to be copied and deposited at Parliament may direct, for the purpose of supplying the information thus recorded, to all interested parties, as generally as way be practicable. 'We should then cease to hear of "judds" being removed—of old workings being de. itroyed, or new ones commenced—with all the liabili. ties thus fatally attaching to such operations, when not directed by scientific skill, or controlled by prac tical experience and sagacity. 'Where so large an amount of human life, so valuable a supply of perilous labour and intrepid enterprise are involved, as are vo- luntarily entombed in our collieries and mines for long protracted periods, it is the duty of the Legis• lature to protect the workman against the avarice of the master, on the one hand, or the incapacity of his deputy on the other. We impute nothing like ava- rice to the respected owners of Coxlodge. We have no wish to press the presumption of misconduct _ _ against their wounded servant, BROWN. But, as a general principle, the first object of Parliament should be to economise the lives of the parties whose labour alone gives value to the products of our mines; its second, to apportion the charge of accomplishing that beneficent end on the mining property of the 'listrict within which it is to be accomplished. The Madrid journals state that the Senate and Deputies met again on the 11th, but their proceedings were confined chiefly to the appointment of Com mittees and verifying the qualifications of Members. The capital remained quiet. A letter from Saragossa, however, published in the Castellano, states that sedi tious placards had been found posted in different parts of that city, demanding the head of General NAR.• vAEz, and of the recently elected deputies, Mews. QUIISTO and OZTEGA. The Three per Cents. were done on the Madrid Bourse of the 11th inst., at 26 cash, and 26i at sixty days ; the Fives at 20 cash, and 20i at sixty days.

The Tory party—at least, if we may judge from their organs—appear to be dreadfully alarmed at the idea of a compact between Mr. O ' CONNELL and the Whigs. Knowing well that Ireland is their " great difficulty "—a fact of which their leader took care to apprise them a few years since—they are naturally enough apprehensive that it would become a down right impossibility, were any such compact to be in stituted—that is to say, it would become morally im possible for them to continue to legislate for the sister country, unless they consented to abandon every single principle which they have maintained for the last half century anclupwards. But this of course the Tories cannot be expected to do, for though by no means squeamish as regards political tergiver sation, yet, even spostacy has its limits, which no party can pass without encountering such a burst of popular execration as would for ever put an end to its moral influence. Thus compelled, in spite of themselves, to preserve a certain decent political consistency, and thereby incapacitated from doing justice to Ireland otherwise than in a languid, reluctant, retail spirit—for Sir ROBERT PEEL'S pro jected remedial measures, though they will, no doubt, be productive of good, will, we suspect, not go to the root of the evil—no wonder the Tories are alarmed at the prospect of a compact, which will not only render it additionally difficult for them to conduct affairs in the sister country after their own favourite fashion a little modified and liberalised ; but, very probably, compel them to abandon the task of Irish legislation altogether; tied make way for those who are more competent, and more willing, to administer justice in a right spirit. Alluding to this compact, a Whig Contemporary remarks :—" In what manner, or to what extent, a combination of objects may be practicable between the Liberals of England and of Ireland, is a point on which we are unable to express anything but hopes. It must depend upon the animus and eventual designs of either party. One thing is very certain, however; that no undertaking, no co-operation between the English and Irish Libe rals is possible upon any basis that implies approba tion of Repeal, or of Federalism, or of rotatory Par liaments. Sir ROBERT PEEL, indeed, th e I r i s h Re peelers may be able to force into a compromise, but the English Liberals will never consent to be a party to it. We should, indeed, deeply deplore any move ment on the part of the Irish Liberal party which would range them in hostility to their friends on this side the channel. But it is right to say that this pro ject of Federalism—this most formidable creation of Tory Government—would find its most strenuous opponents in the English Liberal party." From the spirit that pervades the above passage, and, indeed, from the tone of the article gene rally, we infer that our Whig Contemporary has put it forth, with the direct approbation of his party, as a sort of feeler to try how far O'CosiNELL may be disposed to renew his alliance with English Whiggery. If our surmise be correct, we do not think it at all likely that it will be a successful ruse, for the condi tions which it lays down, as indispensable to the com pact, are such as the great Irish Agitator can never dream of listening to. Possibly, so far as he himself la concerned, Mr. O'ColixELL might not object to re new his connexion with the English Whigs, on the terms laid down in the passage we have quoted ; but situated as he is with his countrymen, pledged to rflE SUN, LONDON, SA.:, the Brazilian tariff, equally unfavourable, may, per haps, at length, open the eyes of our bigoted mono polists in corn, sugar, coffee, and many of the neces saries of life. A full report of what tooh place ttt the dinner given to the French officers at Portsmouth, appears in the Journal des Debats, on which it makes the following comments :—" We have no need to say that we set a high value on the magnificent reception given to the KING Of the FRENCH by the SOVEREIGN of Great Britain and her Court ; but we will add, that we are not the less sensible and proud of what we may call the popular welcome received by our officers in the first military port of our great ally. We see in these spontaneous demonstrations, free as they are from all official character, the genuine expression of the senti ments of the two people. On seeing the elite of the French and English officers fraternising in a manner 'so noble and so cordial, we cannot help saying to ourselves that it is impossible that this good harmony can be disturbed by any fortuitous incidents arising in other parts of the globe. The eccentricities of a sectarian, the intemperance of a chaplain, or the conscientions mistakes of officers who exceed the powers given them, cannot make any any alteration in the sentiments of two Govern ments, or of the people of two nations, who sincerely wish to be on a mutual good understanding. It is impossible that with such extensive and complicated interests as are embraced within the policy of France and England that various points of rivalry and oppo sition should not present themselves ; but it is for the immense advantage of maintaining peace that both parties are disposed to come to an amicable settlement of these inevitable difficulties. The general policy of two great countries can never be at the mercy of such isolated misunderstandings, arising at distances be yond all control or restraint, and these passing dis sensions can never be made causes of rupture when no others of a more profound or serious nature exist. No one can doubt that the officers of the two nations who have fraternised at the Portsmouth banquet will, on both sides, be ready to do their duty whenever they are called upon, but they will not the less preserve a just recollection of this memorable day; and the ad mirable example which they have given will, we are convinced, powerfully contribute to keep up in the hearts of the two people those sentiments of friendship which can alone surmount those difficulties which are inherent in the policy of all free governments, and en sure the maintenance of peace, that first great neces sity of civilised nations." The war journals, and indeed those of the Oppo sition in general, take scarcely any notice of this friendly meeting between the officers of the two nations. The following just remarks on such an unfair omission of an important fact appear in Galig nani's Messenger : " The Opposition journals of this morning present a striking instance of the injurious, we had almost said demoralising, influence of party spirit. As long as the demonstrations of welcome given in England to the King of the French were merely personal, we were not sur prised at the view taken of the visit by these journals, for it was part of their tactics to represent them as a tribute to the Sovereign of France at the expense of the feelings of his nation. They said that the English wel comed him because they considered him to be as English in feeling and interests as themselves, and that in pro portion to their enthusiasm was their dislike for the na tion over which he reigns. At length, however, the banquet to the officers of the French navy takes place at Portsmouth; on that occasion the warmest tribute is paid to the courage and noble-mindedness of the mem bers of the army and navy of France. Their deeds of arms are celebrated by British officers with a generosity as honourable to England as it must be gratifying to France. In language, at once enlightened and kind, a sincere friendship is avowed for the French nation by men who, of all others, are the least to be suspected of hypocrisy, and the noble feelings evinced by the enter tainers were as nobly responded to by their guests. Here, then, was an occasion for admitting that the de monstration in England towards the Icing of the French applied to his people also ; but, so far from this, some of the Opposition journals not only abstain from making such admission, but suppress all account of the meeting. The Constitutionnel gives a dry summary of about half a column ; the Siecle states that the speeches at the dinner were parasitical, and gives only a portion of the speech of Sir Hercules Pakenham ; the Commerce dis misses the affair in a paragraph of ten lines ; the Na tional suppresses the report altogether, with the excep tion of a few lines of the speech of the Mayor of Ports mouth, which it lays hold of for the purpose of misre presentation ; and the Quotidienne takes no more notice of the dinner than announcing that the Mayor proposed the health of M. Guizot. If the journals had been so pressed by other matters of importance that they had no room for the report of the dinner at Portsmouth, there would have been an excuse—a . poor one, indeed, but still an excuse—for this suppression. We see, however, whole columns taken up with the affairs of Spain, which are at this moment of very little importance indeed, com pared with the extraordinary and unprecedented event at Portsmouth, an event which must have a sovereign in fluence over the question of peace aid civilisation throughout the whole world." The Paris Globe thus refers to the dinner : " We recommend to the serious attention of our rea • ders the account of the banquet given to the French officers at Portsmouth. The French and English naval officers have afforded a worthy answer to those who would have their permanent and systematic hostility be lieved in. They have given a noble spectacle—that of men whose profession is war, proclaiming with enthn siasm the necessity and grandeur of peace. This inter national fete will make great noise in the army, and we have no doubt but that it will exercise the most salutary influence on the future intercourse of the two navies."

GOODMAN. This was an action brought laYlll.llous,ihep roprie tor of White Conduit Home ) against th e d e fendant, who Was styled " Colonel" Goodman, of " the Ancient and Honourable Lumber Troop," for the recovery of the sum of 181. 19s. 10d., for goods sold and delivered in the summer of the year 1842, when the " Troop" dined at the plaintiff's house. A number of the troop had formed themselves into a committee, and saw Mr. Rons, when it was agreed that he should supply a dinner in three days afterwards, each person who came paying 7s. 6d. for his dinner and ss. for a wine ticket. " Colonel" Draper was to preside, but in his albence the defendant took the chair, and thus, it was contended, made himself liable for wine to the amount claimed, which had been drunk over and above the amount of wino tickets which had been delivered up. Mr. Lush appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ryland for the defence. Samuel Fisher was the first witness called.—He said be was clerk in the employment of Air. Rous. The stewards of the dinner to be had by the Lumber troop agreed to pay 7e. 6d. per head for dinner, and ss. for tickets, which, upon being handed to the attendants, a bottle of wine was brought to the owner of a ticket. All the stewards and "Colonel" Goodman desired that no credit might be given without the sanction of the chair man. Two persons were placed at the door of the dinner room, one Mr. Nicholson, the secretary, on the part of the troop, and the other a person named Seaton, for the plaintiff. " Colonel" Draper was to have taken the chair; but not being in attendance up to the latest moment, the defendant took his place. James Seaton deposed that he admitted the parties, upon being told by the secretary that all was right. Thomas Higgs, who acted as toast-master, stated that a quantity of wine was given on credit, but not ono bottle without an order from the chairman. Several other witnesses having been called in support of the plaintiff's case, Mr. RYLAND addressed the jury for the defence, and contended that Mr. Goodman was not liable, inasmuch as to enable him to perform his duties as chairman efficiently, a gentleman named Fellowes sat beside him to attend to all the details of charging the wine, &c. Although in the decision on the celebrated " rump and dozen" case, one was liable for the whole, yet there was no reliance in this, because it was stipulated that no credit was to be given. The Learned Counsel called a number of witnesses for the defence. John Ireland, proprietor of the Falcon Tavern, Fetter lane, who described himself as the " Suttler" to the troop, baid he was one of the committee who made the preliminary arrangements for the supper, and he con sidered that if Mr. Rous had adhered to the agreement he would have suffered no loss. Sen , Tit' other witnesses having been called, who gave similar evidence, Mr. Lust{ addressed the jury for the plaintiff, and the Learned Judge having summed up, The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 61. 18s. The Court was crowded with licensed victuallers and person connected with the " troop," the former to hear the decision, which was considered rather important so far as they were concerned. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A young man, named Daniel Grachey was brought before Mr. Twyford, charged with assaulting Mr. Skard, an officer of a Temperance Society, meeting in St. Mar tin's-lane. Mr. Skard came into the witness-box and said that he was one of the Committee of the Temperance Society in St. Martin's-lane. For some time past they had been annoyed by young men, who came to ridicule the pro ceedings of the Society. Mr. TWYFORD—Is any body allowed to speak besides the Committee at these meetings ? Witness—Oh ! only those who have been reclaimed, like myself, from the paths of drunkenness, are allowed to speak. Mr. TWYFORD—Can anybody get up and advocate the cause of gin and water ?—(Laughter.) Witness, with dignity—Oh no, Sir, we are not a debating society. Mr. TWYFORD—Dear me, then it is a sort of preach ing society. The witness then stated that the prisoner was ridi culing the proceedings last night, and upon being re monstrated with, he struck the witness. The prisoner denied that he struck the witness. He and a friend went into the room, and because they laughed they were given into custody. Mr. TWYFORD said the prisoner must be fined 10s., or go to prison for ten days.—The fine was immediately paid. UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Thomas Hobbs, a groom, was charged before Mr. Traill with stealing a horse, the property of Mrs. Heath. a stage-coach proprietor in the New Kent-road. It appeared that, on the preceding day, the prisoner was employed in exercising some horses belonging to the complainant, and that having been paid for his day's work, he left the premises in the evening. Jessup, the horse-keeper, went away from his master's premises in the evening, having locked up the stables. This morn ing. soon after six o'clock, the witness, on going to the stables, found them broken open, and a valuable mare stolen. It further appeared, that between two and three o'clock that morning, a policeman on duty in the Kennington-road,, met the prisoner on horse. back. The moment he saw him, he put the horse into a trot, and tried to get away, but the policeman followed and stopped him. When the prisoner was questioned on the subject, he said that he was in the employ of Mr. Wailes, the knacker, in the Wandsworth road, and that ho was taking the mare to his master's yard to be killed. The policeman doubting the truth of this assertion, took the prisoner into custody, and it was subsequently ascertained that the horse had been stolen from the complainant's stables, as above described. The prisoner, who did not deny the charge, was com mitted for trial to the Central Criminal Court, the busi ness of which commences on Monday next. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) A little boy, named Brian, living in Fox -court, Gray's Inn-lane, was charged with exposing goods for sale on the footway, and obstructing the public passage. Police. constable, 72 E, took the prisoner into custody upon the charge of a tradesman in Holborn. The evidence of both constable and tradesman went no further than to prove, that the little boy, who was aged about twelve years, was in the habit of crying his fruit in a very loud voice. The tradesman said he was greatly annoyed by it; he was the complainant on this occasion. Mr. COMBE — Annoyed by what ? Complainant—By the cries. Mr. COMBE—I do not see why that should annoy you. Complainant—Well, I do not wish to punish him. Mr. COMBE—But the question is, what right you had to give the child into custody at all ? The boy cried bitterly. The contents of his basket, which were not worth twopence, was all he possessed in the world. Mr. COMBE—WeII, really it seems very hard that this boy should be imprisoned. Why, you might as well imprison all those who cry " Cresses," vegatables, and all manner of things in the street, and which the Act of Parliament, though very stringent and specific, does not say one word about.. , Dischaygethe boy. NiAIttLEBONE VESTRY. - (Tars D4cy.) At the Weilly,Fteeting of tite vestry, a report was read ViP (5l) PAYIMEN.T. • from the surveyors, - to the effect that the contractors for the wood pavement had undertaken to repairit in a satis factory manner, the repairi havipg actually commenced this morning: - A 'long aria irregular discussion- took place, in the course of which it was stated that a majo rity of the vestry were resolved not to renew the con tract, which expires on the 6th November. Mr. H. C. WILSON said that the matter was too im portant to be disposed of without full and calm discus sion. —(Hear, and laughter.) Therefore he gave notice that, on Saturday next, he would move that the vestry men be summoned, to take the renewal of the contract into consideration. THE POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS. Mr. Worridge, of Regent-street, was elected to the vacant guardianship of the poor, with & distinct pledge that he would never consent to allow the Assistant-Com • missioners to be admitted to the doliborationg nf the guardians ; and this pledge the vestry will require of every candidate for that office. MONUMENTS OF SHAICESTEARE'S FAMILY.—It is well known to all who have been to Stratford-upon-Avon, that several of the old inscriptions upon the monuments or stones to the memory of Shakespere's family have been so obliterated by time, or the feet of careless visi tors of the church, as to be scarcely legible. One of the members of the Council of the Shakespere Society, the Rev. W. Harness, having recently spent some time in the native town of our great dramatist, with piety worthy his profession and admiration of genius, at his own expense has caused all the inscriptions to be re touched and restored, so that they now appear exactly in the state in which they originally stood, and can be easily read by anybody at all acquainted with the forms of our old letters. This is a course widely different from that pursued by Malone, whose taste for classic purity was so shocked at the painted bust of Shakespere in Stratford Church (showing the colour of his eyes, com plexion, and dress), that he caused it to be covered with a thick coat of white-load, which, unfortunately, can never be removed. At the last meeting of the Council of the Shakespere Society (formed for the publication of productions illustrative of our early dramatic poetry), a resolution of heatry thanks to the Rev. W. Harness, for his instrumentality in this congenial work, was un animously adopted, and entered on the minutes. CHARLTON, COMMONLY CALLED HORN FAlR.—This long-established and well-known fair commenced yester day, in a field adjacent to the park of Sir IThomas ba ryon Wilson, Bart., of New Charlton. The weather proved very favourable throughout the day. During the morning a vast number of the well-dressed and respect able inhabitants of Greenwich, 'Woolwich, and the sur rounding neighbourhood, both male and female, a s we l l as numerous juveniles, promenaded the fair. There was the usual display of theatrical representations, wild beasts, the sapient pig, conjuration, fortune-telling, an d , lastly, a grand display of pugilistic prowess by profes sors from the London and other rings. The latter drew the attention of the military officers and men of the garrison ; but the cadets of the Royal Military Academy did not appear, as it is understood orders have been issued by the authorities to prevent a repetition of such acts of insubordination and violence as were exhibited on two ooeasions during the fair within the last four yean-, a s well 115 ttl s WOO I WiCh 11.20c.i. All wsis peaceable to wards evening, and the 'amusements promised to pass off 1 with unusual ecktt and profit to many. DR. WOLFF. Lady Georgiana Wolff has acquainted the Presi dent of the Committee of the Stoddart and Conolly Fund, that she has received letters from Dr. Wolff, and also from the Persian Ambassador at the Court of Bokhara, translated into English by the favour of Colonel Shiel. Dr. Wolff, in letters dated July 29, and August (no day being specified), states that he expected to leave Bokhara in a few days, and had re ceived a present from the Ameer of a horse, a silver bridle, a robe of honour, and ninety ducats, but had not yet had his audience of leave. The Persian Ambassador, in a letter dated July 23, stated that he expected to bring Dr. Wolff away in about eight days. As the second of Dr. Wolff's letters, published a few days ago, and dated August 1, or some days after the date specified above, contained no mention of these encouraging circumstances, but, on the con trary, indicated considerable anxiety, there seems no way of accounting for the inconsistency but by supposing that there is some mistake in the date of the letter of the Ist of August, and which, as no reports whatever could claim any credence in opposi tion to the statements in Dr. Wolff's own letters, led to a misconception of his real position at that time. Tag GREAT CHESS MATCH AT PARIS.—PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.—The match between Mr. Staunton and M. St. Amand is postponed sine die, in consequence of the severe and sudden illness of the English champion. Mr. Staunton caught a slight cold in his late journey to Paris, which, unfortunately being neglected, fell on the chest. A violent inflammation took place, leeches were applied in abundance, and on Thursday last Mr. Staunton was quite out of danger, but still so weak that a fort night or three weeks must elapse before he can venture to encounter his antagonist. The match excites much attention in all chess-playing societies in Paris, and the recovery of Mr. Staunt on is an x i ous l y looked for, not only out of peysosal feeling for that gentleman, but from the great desire amateurs experience to see such cele brated players as he and M. St. Ame n d aga i n engaged. We understand Mr. Harry Wilson, of the Isle of Wight, started for Paris on Tuesday night, to attend a second time, as umpire and secretary to Mr. Staunton. PRESENT TO O'CONNELL. The Rhenish Observer states that the inhabitants of Coblents and the neigh bouring towns had opened a suLscription to collect the funds necessary for the purchase of a cargo of Rhenish wine of the first quality, which they propose to send as a present to Daniel O'Connell. THE O'CONNELL TRIBUTE.—We understand that the O'Connell Tribute for the paft year is about to be announced, and that the snm received is no less than 28,8501., and two parishes, still remain to be "made up." --Dublin Monitor. - • lIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1844.

Should it prove true, as rumoured in many quarters, that the Brazilian Government, having failed to obtain such concessions as required on the admission of the sugar and other produce of the empire in Great Britain, is about to open negotiation with the Zollverein, a " heavy blow and great discouragement" will be inflicted upon the manufacturing and mercantile interests of the United Kingdom. The on flit is that the Count d'Abrantes, who has reached the metropolis from Rio Janeiro, is en route to Germany for the purposes we have referred to. No question the heads of the Zoll.- verein will be too happy to close with the Ministry of the young Emperor, and to admit the produce of the Brazils to places within the range of the Confederation upon the most liberal terms ; and, what is of more im portance to us, is, that the people of the empire can have nearly all the manufactures they require from those with whom it is said to be the inten tion of the Government at Rio to form - a treaty of commerce. The stickling for the continuance of the West India monopoly, has already cost this country much, to say nothing of the twenty millions sterling to get rid of slavery ; but British interests will be immensely damaged should it turn out that the Zoll verein includes within its arrraugements the commercial intercourse with the Brazilian Empire. The Foreign Minister must be entirely ignorant of the benefits this country has derived by our intercourse hitherto with the Brazils. There is a decrease of 244,820/. in the notes and bul lion of the issue department of the Bank of England during the week, to the I 1 th inst., and of 493,059/. in the rest, and 12,4531. in the gold and silver coin, to the banking department. The public deposits are much larger—viz., 8,147,2901. against 6,202,3221.; and in the other deposits and seven-day bills there is a slight in crease; also in the securities on the side of assets. The close of the finance quarter and the dividend payments have occasioned these alterations. The Stock Exchange is to be closed on Monday, the 28th 'inst., as well as at the Bank of England, as far as the payment of dividends and transfers of stock are con cerned. The resolution of the private bankers, to pay bills on Saturday, the 26th, instead of the 28th inst., cannot, however, bind private individuals who may have bills that will arrive at maturity on that day. As far, however, as is practicable, the " opening day" of the new Royal Exchange will be a holiday. The Funds are fiat this morning. Consols for Money have been bold at 1001, and for the Account at 1001. The demand for money is on the increase. The premium on Exchequer Bills has fallen to 725.

OLD WOMEN EXCLUDED FROM PARADISE.---The greatest and best of men (may the Almighty shower on his head the most abundant blessings!) sometimes joked, but seldom; and when ho allowed a pleasantry to escape him, it was sure to be in an adroit and indirect manner, and he never departed from strict truth. It is told of him, that he one day said to an old woman, " At the day of resurrection no old woman shall enter Paradise." The old woman, very much troubled, said in a sorrowful tone, " Oh, proph e t o f G o d, w h at f au l ts h ave we poor old women committed, that we should be deprived of the happiness of entering Paradise?" The elect of God (may all heavenly blessings repose on him!) smiled, and withdrawing the ruby veil which hid the pearls of his teeth, said, " The Creator, may He be glorified! will make all the old women young again, and will thus in troduce them into Paradise." —From Captain Pidding's Chinese Olio and Tea Talk, No. 25.

THE TREAD-MILL.—At an inquest lately held in Coldbath-fields House of Correction, Mr. Wahley in. quired whether females were put upon the tread-mill ? And having received a reply in the affirmative, he ex pressed his surprise, as it had been reported that the custom of doing so had been abolished for some months past. The female warden, of whom the Coroner made the inquiry, stated that the report was groundless, as all females under forty years of age sentenced to hard labour, were placed upon the mill for certain hours each day, but that all above that age were exempt from it. Mr. Wakley said that he was glad thq he h^. , l licen rightly informed upon the subject, as he should turn his attention to it. The impression is, that ho will bring the matter before Parliament, in order to prevent women being gUbiected VD such punishment. • ---_____ •.....„--,------, ISUifiMARY Of NEWS AND Pubttt Oinitton.
