A few weeks ago all the daily and weekly Tory journals —with the sole exception, if we remember rightly, of the Post —were hugging themselves in the pleasing conviction that the Anti-Corn-law League, if not absolutely extinct, was at any rate in the last stage of decrepitude. " It has seen its best days," said the Herald. "It is dying by inches of an atrophy," remarked the Standard. " It is the mere ghost of its former self," observed the John Bull. Then followed a series of arguments in each of these party journals, whose main object was to prove that it was very unlikely, if not wholly impossible, that the Ideague could ever regain its former strength and in fluence, inasmuch as the majority of the people had at length seen through the humbug, and were determined no longer to give it countenance of support. Of course, all that portion of the eomtnUnity who cling to the principles of. Monopoly, were delighted with these statements, and perfectly ready to accord them the most implicit credence ; and we can imagine the delight with which their Graces of RICHMOND and BUCKINGHAM must have chuckled at the idea that the object of their bitterest hostility and their worst apprehensions for four or five years past, was reduced to so low an ebb, as to excite only their contemptuous pity and ridicule. But, ;10, in the midst of all these rejoicings on the part of the Monopolists, the " untoward" fact transpired, that the League—the exhausted, crippled, dying League--was in better health and spirits than ever ; that it had held a public meeting in Manchester of a more important character than had ever taken place there ; and that while it was so charitably supposed by its enemies to be, like JERRY SNEAK'S wife, on " its last legs," it was in reality working in secret with a vigour and activity hitherto unknown to it ; and had succeeded in securing an influence in the Registration Courts, which, in the event of a new election, would enable it to return at least thirty additional Free-traders to Parliament. Before the Monopolists had fully recovered the shock of this astounding intelligence, which must have come upon them like a thunder-clap, another " great fact" trans - pired—namely, that the Anti- Corn-Law League had " taken Covent-garden Theatre for the next season at a rent of three thousand pounds !" This does not look as if it were about to give up the ghost. There are no symptoms of decline or decrepitude here. But the truth is, the League never has been in a declin ing state. It has never, even for a moment, lost its hold on public opinion. It has never once relaxed in zeal and perseverance. When it was to all out ward appearance the most quiescent, then it was the most energetic. From the very first hour of its esta blishment down to the present time, its influence over the popular mind has been steadily on the increase and now it may be said to wield a power in no re spect inferior to that of the great Birmingham Asso ciation which carried the Reform Bill. Would this be the case if the principles which it ad vocates were founded in delusion ? Impossible. John Bull though apt at times to be run away with by strange fancies—is in the main a sound, long-headed fellow, who never dreams of giving a systematic, continuous support to that of which his reason disapproves. Irishmen may be led astray by their impulses, but Englishmen are not to be stirred, unless their movements be sanctioned by the promptings of their cool and sagacious judg ment. Had the Anti-Corn-law League been the mere specious humbug which its enemies represent it to be; had its views been the mere crazy specula tions of a set of impracticable theorists, it never would have known so long a term of existence as it has done ; its first year would most probably have been its last, for the public would have found out its hollowness, and treated its pretensions with contempt. But the League is powerful because the principles which it upholds are sound. Its influence is on the increase, because the more they are canvassed, the more its views are found to be in accordance with justice and common sense. In plain truth, it gives lucid and forcible expression to the one great want of the age —Free-trade, which means neither more nor less than extended trade ; the privilege of employing the re sources of industry and enterprise to the best advan tage; of giving fair play to all and showing favourit ism to none ; of quickening the spread of intelli gence and civilisation by bringing the remotest ends of the earth into closer and more har monious connexion with us than has hitherto been the case. As barbarism follows in the train of war, so civilisation follows in the footsteps of com merce. Now the League is the great advocate of unlimited extension of commerce ; hence the secret of its moral influence—hence its unrivalled popularity among all the thinking, humane, and patriotic mem bers of the community. As the founder of this noble Confederacy, Mr. COBDEN has established claims on the respect and gratitude of his countrymen scarcely inferior even to those of the conqueror of NAPOLEON. It is not without great regret that we feel our selves again compelled to advert to a subject which unhappily supplies but too frequent a text for cen sure and disgust. The treatment of the poor of this country is a matter to which it is idle for some fas tidious and short-sighted persons to complain that the Press is in the habit of devoting too large a share of its attention. There is no question lying so closely at the very root of our domestic prosperity. There is no principle of decay which, if not eradicated, or at least reduced and controlled in time, can operate more certainly or awfully to the destruction of the magnificent social edifice that free and equal institu• tions have been the chief agents in erecting. By thest its bases have been laid and consolidated. Our vast commercial opulence has but extended and enriched the superstructure, and if still further to beautify and protect this latter we diminish the supports which have been provided for the poor—in the original plan of the fabric, and the additions subsequently made to it—we diminish in proportion the stability and safety of the whole work. Now, the tendency )f all our modern legislation, and the administration of magisterial justice, too palpably incline to the vindication of the rights of property, and the protec tion of wealth at a large sacrifice of that tenderness and sympathy for the position, the privations, the feelings, and, above all, the personal liberty of the poor, which a more humane, and therefore en • lightened policy, would studiously manifest on all occasions. In our paper of Tuesday evening we gave reports )f two cases in which this habitual disregard of the feelings and position of the poor was remarkably ex emplified. They furnished a fitting pendant to those examples of Game-law good sense and humanity to which we have so recently directed public attention. On Monday last the Coroner for Middlesex held an inquest on the body of the poor man who had long occupied a small cobbler's shop at the corner of South Molton-lane, Davies-street, where, after having car ried on the business in former years, on a large scale, of a boot and shoemaker, he earned, in the decline of his life, a precarious but honest subsistence. Here, unhappily, he had fallen into arrear for a few weeks' rent, for which his landlord, some Whitechapei broker, on one day last week came to distrain. Ii the report is to be relied on, the broker must have been a ruffianly specimen even of his discreditable fraternity. "He not only took what small amount of goods the deceased had, but actually tore his apron off from him, took his tools, and even the job I he was at work upon out of his hands, and his spec tacles from his face. This broker also took away his coat, but subsequently returned it, on the deceased consenting to give up the key." The sequel is soon told. Stung to madness by the illegal and brutal violence and cruelty of the broker, the poor, broken down tradesman, who had borne up manfully against all the previous reverses which had ensued upon his " better days "—brooded for a whole day over this last overwhelming calamity, and—hanged himself! We fear this case is but one of a class. We desire to know how it is that the authorities in whom such appointments are, conceive themselves justified in granting licenses liable to asch extensive and in tolerable abuses, to men of a class in society so generally degraded both in character and calling as these brokers ? They are the " obscene harpies" of the most dirty and noisome purlieus of the law, in its worst perversions from the guardianship of right and justice to the perpetration of all violence and fraud. If the rich were to have been the probable objects of the attentions of these distraining brokers, does any man suppose that legislation would not have provided much more ample grounds and securi ties for the protection of their property and rights, by committing such powers to very different hands from those which are trusted with the right of tearing the poor ?" Mr. WAKLEY recommended the son of the deceased to bring his action against the man SKINNER, who had distrained on his father. Alas ! what are the probabilities that this action can be sustained by the son or his friends, in the absence of funds for such a purpose ? At the last Special Session of the Justices of the Bromley Division, a number of the most destitute of rate-payers were c har ge d w ith the offence of not havin g paid up th e i r rates , amoun ti ng , r e s p ec ti ve ly, to 3 some ag s e " dn 5 , dailinda6 infirm Iwn oraul all women, who h cases, d t parties,previously paid for ma ny years rates and taxes, were directed SUN? R InAzy_ EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1844. to be proceeded against by distress warrant, although the appeals they made are grounded on facts esta blishing, most irresistibly, their utter ciestitUtion and misery. gofiie flfe retirovktll fdt being hotiseholders, at a rate of 61. or 71., since their rates were in arrear. Others were charitably told by the Magistrates that " they had no business" to be living in such expensive tenements as these little arrears had accumulated upon. In all the cases, there was but one deci cision—" pay in so many days, or a distress warrant must issue against you, and you will be sold up." Now, really, if gentlemen who sit at special sessions would but reflect on the amount of misery which has preceded the fact of the arrears, and the incalculable additional misery these ready and prompt issues of warrants inflict, they would not only pause in their decisions, but, out of hand, as large landed proprietors, discharge, for the more frugal and deserving, the amount of their claim upon them. What does the parish or district gain by proceeding against these unfortunates ? If their goods yield anything, they barely pay the costs. If nothing, costs are incurred which the rate-payers generally are burdened with in addition to their rates. Besides, the cost of a vane or belfry to one of the huge union poor-houses would well defray the whole aggregate of these petty but distressing remedies. When will property be taught the wisdom of liberality, even beyond the mere letter of the law. Madrid journals of the 31st ult. bring accounts of the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies on the amendment proposed by Senor IsTuairz, and the division leaves no doubt that the Bill for reforming the Constitution will be triumphantly carried through both Chambers. On the amendment proposed by Senor ISTURITZ to the fourth paragraph, after a dis cussion of little interest, a division took place, when there were : For the amendment 26 Against it 124 Majority —9B Another division exhibited the Opposition in a still worse plight. Senor POSADA moved another amend ment, and on the same paragraph, to the following effect :—" Convinced as the Chamber is that any change in the fundamental law is a revolution which will expose the State to serious dangers." Ministers, he said, by introducing such important changes, had violated all their engagements and oaths. General NARVAEZ, on landing from France, had vowed to defend the Constitution of 1837, and MARTINEZ DE LA RosA declared that those who wished for more or less than that Constitution were traitors. He ad mitted that the Chambers and Sovereign had a right to reform the Constitution, but he thought that the ordinary Cortes should touch it only in extreme cases, and when the social powers should have been completely destroyed. A Ministerial speaker replied to these remarks, but no reply was necessary. The Chamber is evidently resolved to carry the measure with the least delay possible, and probably in a few weeks it will be the law of the land. For POSADA'S amend ment only two Members voted—the mover and the seconder, while 138 voted against it. On the 30th a deputation from the Senate pre sented to the QUEEN the address of that body in answer to the royal speech. Her MAJESTY on re ceiving it said—" I have heard with great satisfaction the sentiments you have just expressed to me, in the name of the Senate. I rely on your loyal co-opera tion to consolidate the empire of the laws and promote the welfare of the country." The Public Prosecutor, in reference to the inves tigation of the charges against PRIM, contends that there is ample proofs of a treasonable conspiracy, and concludes his report by demanding a capital punish ment. The accounts from Barcelona are of a most painful character. Four of the unfortunate men sentenced to death were executed on the 20th ult. The following is the account of the melancholy scene published by one of the journals •—" The aspect of the Rambla was extremely imposing this morning, when the four convicts traversed it on their way to the place of execution. The authorities had displayed a formidable military force, and religion offered the mournful spectacle of its majestic participation in that execu tion. The cortege was opened by the ' Congregation of Blood,' bearing the great crucifix, the object of their adoration, and preceded by the choristers, who excited the commiseration of the faithful in favour of the souls of those whom Justice was about to strike. Next advanced the condemned, accompanied by two clergymen, chaplains of regiments, who nev'er ceased exhorting them until the moment of the execution. A strong detachment of troops formed the escort, and the cortke was closed by a large body of military. The prisoners marched with resignation, and appeared to pray with fervour." More arrests had taken place. The Madrid Gazette publishes a royal decree sanc tioning an arrangement made on the 26th by the Mi nister of Finance with the Bank of San Fernando, for a further advance of 60,000,000 reals, payable in November, and of an equal sum payable in December next. The Three per Cents. were done at 27f for cash, and 27 3-16 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 20i at 60 days. The Journal des Debat,c on the authority of its Madrid correspondent, announces the following intel ligence :—" The paragraph relative to the marriage of the QUEEN has been amended by the Committee appointed to examine the Bill for the reform of the Constitution. The amendment to which the Minis ters have assented is drawn up in the following terms :—` The KING and his immediate successor cannot contract a mariage with a person excluded from the succession to the Throne by the Cortes. The pretender, Don CARLOS, and his children, are included in this category." The same journal adds that the Committee and the Government differ on the question of a regency, the Government proposing that in case of minority the regent shall be the father, mother, or nearest relative to the infant Sovereign, while the Commission proposes that the law of re gency adopted two years since in France should be exactly copied in Spain. According to the Courrier Francais, the French Chambers will not be convoked before the 15th of December next. The Minister for Foreign Affairs expects by that time to have completely recovered from his present indisposition, which causes some un easiness to his friends, The Journal des Debats has a long article on the defective state of the coinage in France. It states that the five franc, thirty sous, and one franc pieces, are turned out of the mint in the most disgraceful manner, and that a great loss is annually incurred by the country. As a practical instance of the erroneous system pursued, of weighing the new coinage in mass instead of in detail, out of a bag of 2,000 f., tAt least a profit of 50f. can be made, by separating the light from the heavy pieces, and by melting down the latter, while the former are sent into circulation. The money-changers make a considerable profit in the year, by testing all the five franc pieces that pass through their hands. The article concludes by be stowing great praise on the system pursued at the English mint, and recommends its adoption by the French Government. Considerable fluctuation took place in the French Funds on Tuesday, caused by speculations respecting the new loan. A report pre, ailed, that it would not be for more than 200,000,00')f.—the minimum price 82f„ which, with the dividend detached, would net 80f. 60c. On this subject th e France says : " There are in Paris at pre! ,ent, the heads of three of the different houses of Rothschild, namely,—MM. Anselm, ialomon, and James Rothschild. Their meet ing is said to have been occasioned by the approaching Adjudication of the loan of 3 0c.,000,000f. They were all three received on Saturday by the Minister of the Finances. It is said that tho •chief of the London house of Barings is also expected, and 'will also tender." THE BOURSE--W EDNZEIDAY, Nov. 6. First * Highest Lowest Last Price.. Price. Price. Price.

SMYTHE V. GRIFFIN.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which has been in different shapes before the Vice-Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, and ulti mately before the Lord Chancellor, upon demurrer, put in by the defendants to the plaintiff's bill. The bill was tiled by th'e plaintiff, for the purpose of setting aside a deed executed by him to a female, named Maria Seller, by which he gave to her and her daughter two annui ties, when he should cease to cohabit with the former. The ground on which the bill was filed was, that the deed had been given for au illegal conzideration, and that therefore it was void. To this bill a demurrer had been filed. His Lordship agreed with the Vice- Chancellor, that the annuity to Maria Seller was void, as it was given for an illegal consideration; but notwith standing this opinion, his Lordship thought there were circumstances connected with the conduct of the plaintiff which deprived him of the interposition of a court of equity. His Lordship felt bound, therefore, to allow the demurrer.—Demurrer allowed. IN THE MATTER OP TODD, A BANKRUPiIk Mr. ROLT stated that this case came before the Court upon appeal from the Court of Review upon a special case. The plaintiffs were the assignees of Thomas Todd, who carriedon business in the neighbourhood of Man chester, and the respondent was a person named Wood, who sought to prove under a bond for 8,0001. The proof of the debt was refused by the Commissioner, at Manchester, but on appeal to the Court of Review, he was permitted to prove for the debt, and from that deci sion the present special case came before the Court. The case appears likely to occupy the whole day. VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) THE ATTORNEY•GENERAL V. WARREN AND OTHERS. This case came before his Honour upon the applica tion, on the part of the Crown, for as injunction to re strain the defendants, the churchwardens of St. Mary Ottery, Dover, from cutting down certain trees in the churchyard and the neighbourhood of the vicarage there. Mr. BEVIELL opposed the application, on the ground that if the trees were allowed to remain they would soon fall down and destroy the vicarage itself. His HoNoult, at the conclusion of the arguments, gave judgment, refusing to grant the injunction. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Baden.) BATE AND ANOTHER V. BURTON AND ANOTHER, EXECU TORS OF CLARKE. This was an action to recover 5001. on a bill of ex change. The plaintiffs were bankers at Stourbridge, and the defendants executors of a woman named Clarke. It was tried at Worcester before Mr. Sergeant Atcherley, and the verdict was for the plaintiff. Mr. V. LEE now moved to set the verdict aside, on the ground that it was against the weight of evidence. The note was signed with the the name of the deceased by a person who stated that she had been authorised to sign it by the deceased. A certain paper was put into her hands, and she denied positively that she had ever signed the paper. At a trial afterwards at Stafford the same witness was examined, the same paper was put in, and the same denial given ; and also a deed, which the other side contended was a forgery. Persons were called who distinctly swore that they had sewn her sign the paper. The jury found in opposition to her testimony, and Lord Chief Justice Tindal ordered the deed to be impounded with a view to ulterior proceedings. Under these circumstances he moved for a rule nisi for a new trial in the first case. The COURT deferred their decision until they had consulted the Learned Judge who had tried the case, and also the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, who had tried the second case. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, London, before a Common Jury). Mr. Baron ALDERSON sat here for half an hour, in which time he disposed of the list of the day, consisting of a few actions on bills of exchange. (Sittings in Banco at Westminster.) AMEN V. THE KINGTON RAILWAY COMPANY. In this case, which was tried at Hereford before the Lord Chief Justice Tindal, and in which the plaintiff was nonsuited, Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD moved for a rule to show cause why the nonsuit should be set aside, and the verdict entered for the plaintiff for the sum of 371. 10s. The action, in point of form, was an action of debt against a Company incorporated under a local Act of Parliament, for work, labour, and an account stated. Mr. Allen, the plaintiff in the case, was a gentleman having an estate through which the Kington railway passed. The plea was—" Never indebted." The King ton railway, which was incorporated under the 58th George 3d, which was passed in the year 1818, for making a small tram railway through a portion of the counties of Hereford and Radnor. The action was brought for the purpose of enforcing the statutable liability of the Com pany to repair certain fences of Mr. Allen's along this line of the railway. The Learned Counsel then read the provisions of the Act relating to the repairs of fences. The COURT was of opinion that the order of the jus tices of the peace, under which the defendants were re quired to execute the repairs, was inTalid, because it did not appear that the defendants were present when it was made.—Rule refused. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) to compel the assignee, Mr. Winch, of the firm of Beck Brothefe and Winch, to whom the insolvent was in debted in the sum of lOW, to pay from the estate the expenses necessary for filing his schedule and passing through this Court. Mr. COOKE, on the part of Beck Brothers and Winch, opposed the application on several grounds, the first of which was that he had fraudulently concealed property to a large amount, and had rendered no ac count of the debts due to him in his schedule ; also that he was in prison under a friendly arrest, in order that he might get rid of his liabilities ; and lastly, that he was described by a wrong name, as although his name was Isaac, he now petitioned as John Longrigg. His reason for this was to deceive the Court as he had been already an insolvent, and petitioned the Court under the name of Isaac, when he was sentenced to a lengthened remand. He had also become bankrupt in the same name when the amount of his debts were very large. The Learned Counsel contended that the insol vent's conduct had been so fraudulent and dishonest that he was not entitled to the consideration of the Court. Mr. Commissioner Pom,oeic said there could be no doubt that the insolvent's conduct had been most dis honest, and under all the circumstances t the case he should adjourn its further consideration until after the assignees' accounts had been audited. has been got off, and is now at Hubberston Pill, dis charging.

Since Monday the arrivals of Yinglish Wheat up to our market have been very scanty, hence the stands were poorly filled with samples, most descriptions were in steady request, and previous rates were supported. The best kinds of foreign were in fair request, but other qualities were inactive at late rates. The shew of Barley was not very large, yet most kinds were rather dull at about previous figures. The best kinds of Malt were quite as dear. In other descriptions very little was doing. Oats, Beans and Peas found buyers at full prices. Fl our 1,780 ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley.

ANDERS. The Court was occupied the whole of the day in hearing Sir Thomas Wilde and Mr. Sergeant Channel], for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Byles, for the de fendant, in a special argument on demurer in this case, which is an issue remitted from the Vice-Chancellor's (Shadwell's) Court. The argument turned on the interpretation of certain words in a will, which were held, on the part of the de fendant, to exclude the daughter of th e t e stator from inheriting under the will, in consequence of her having married ; the plaintiff's case bei ng , th a t, t a ki ng th e whole of the will together, it was manifestly the wish and intention of the father that she should marry, not withstanding the apparent incongruity upon which the defence relied. The argument was merely technical— a!most merely verbal—and perfectly dry and uninter esting. THE REGISTRATION - APPEALS FROM THE REVISING BARRISTERS.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) THE QUEEN V. THE NORWICH AND BRANDON RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. CLEASBY in this case moved for a rule for a man damus dire:ted to the defendants, calling upon them to construct a bridge over the river Ware, so as to leave the water-way as wide as it was before the passing of the Act of Parliament. The Company did build a bridge, but it was raised on piles driven into the bed of the river, and instead of being driven in one behind the other, they were placed obliquely, so that 40 feet of the river course were obstructed. The present application was made on behalf of the Norwich Life Insurance So ciety, who had mills of considerable value on the river. —Rule granted. (Sittings at Nisi Prius.) PRICE AND ANOTHER, ASSIGNEES OF BRAIN V. BAXTER AND OTHERS. In this case, which had not terminated marriage,whenutcnh :ate though C ootdahu o s eebg u rseh r e. Court rose rose yesterday, Mr. Justice WIGTMAN summed up the evidence, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs to the full amount. FORD V. LADY EMILY FITZGERALD DE DERNDACHER. This was an action brought by George Samuel Ford, who is an attorney, against the defendant, as the acceptor of a bill of exchange for 4001. The defendant pleaded that she was a married lady, and which was denied by the plaintiff, and upon this issue was joined. In proof of the marriage of the defendant, Christia n Antonio Itigoni, a Professor of Physiology in the Uni versity of Pavia, was called, who proved that he was present when the lady, whose maiden name was Fitzgerald, was married to the Baron de Dernbaeher, oved an officer in the Austrian service, in Florence in the year 1823. The marriage ceremony was solemnised in the private chapel of the Duke of Tuscany, by the Duke's chaplain ; and the lady, after her marriage, moved in the first society. It was a lso proved, that the Baron d e Dernbacher was ali ve w ithin seven years, and a lett er t b h e e a r r e in w g a l s ti n ss o ig l n e a g t a u l re ev w id a e s n r c e e ce o iv f ed o w e ithin the last mont h.

Mr. Alfred George Gardiner, a clerk in the employment of Mr. Stevens, York-place, Barnsbury-road, was walking along Holborn on the previous night, when the prisoner came up and walked by his side. In a few minutes after Mr. Gardiner missed 11. 10s. from his pocket, and gave the prisoner into custody, who had the effrontery to give him in charge for robbing her. The money was found on her person, and she was committed for trial. (George Rowe was sworn in as messenger to the Ma gistrates of this Court, by direction of the Secretary of State for the Home Department.) MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) CHARGE AGAINST A POLICE SERGEANT.—Otho Stead, one of the sergeants of the D division of police, was brought before Mr. Long this morning, at the request of the Commissioners of Police, charged with having im properly taken into custody Mr. John Brumister, a bar- rister. Mr. Brumister was charged at this Court before Mr. Rawlinson, on Monday, with having assaulted a cabman, and with drunken and disorderly conduct, by Sergeant Stead and another police-constable, and he was fined 40s. for the assault on the cabman, and 40s. for being drunk. The charge against the sergeant occupied a consider able time, and a great number of witnesses were exa mined, but they did not substantiate the charge. Mr. LoNG stopped the case. He regretted that a gentleman in the complainant's station of life had thought proper to prefer such a charge. The sergeant would have been blameable bad he not taken him into custody. He should, therefore, dismiss the charge. Stead is one of the steadiest and best behaved men in the division. FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAILS (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, Nov - . s.—There bas been very little varia tion in the prices of corn. The average price of wheat last week was 18f. 60c., and that of rye, 10f. 85c. The greater part of the sitting of the Chamber to-day was taken up by a speech of M. de Mayer, who vehe mently opposed the principle of that augmentation asked in favour of the members of the magistracy, who, in his opinion, were sufficiently paid. lie declared that he would only vote for the proposed increase of salary for the justices of peace. The Minister of Justice replied to M. de Nayer. He concluded by saying that, if he felt regret, it was that he was not able to do more for the magistracy, consider ing the wants of the country. The sitting ended with a speech of Mr. Savaent Martel, who insisted on the necessity of immediately improving the situation of the magistracy, and avoid any delay. ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 18.—There is still a total stagna tion here in politics, as well as commerce. Mehemet Ali is still at Cairo, but is said to intend making a little tour in Upper Egypt. The steamer from Marseilles, which arrived on the 12th, brought Mr. Borghe, Bishop of Agra, accompanied by ten missionaries and sixteen nuns. He proceeded the day before yesterday on his way to India. No postal convention is yet concluded between Eng land and Egypt. Astern Bey, the Minister of Com merce, has proposed to establish a port between this and Suez, for the account of the Egyptian Government, and to place it under the direction of an agent, to be ap pointed here, with whom the English agent might make an arrangement. I will inform you of the particulars. BERLIN, OCT. 27.—A subject of general conversation here is a petition which many Russians, living in Russia, the number of whom may be 50,000, intend to present to his Majesty the King, in order to obtain some modi fication of the convention lately concluded between Prussia and Russia. According to this convention, Prussians living in Russia, are not to be subject in case of their having committed any offence to the Prussian law, but to the more rigorous law of Russia. ST. PETERSBURGII, OCT. 26.—The Duke of Mecklen burg leaves St. Petersburgh to-day, to go to Munich, in order to visits his relation, viz., his aged mother and his sister the Empress Dowager of Brazil, whom he has not seen since her youth. (His Highness has already passed through Berlin.) Lord Stuart de Rothsay, British Am bassador of this court, set out to-day for England, having obtained leave of absence. The police authorities are directed not to suffer those who are exiled to Siberia to take any property with them, but to take it from them on the way. If it shall be any considerable amount it is to be sold by auction, and the proceeds remitted to that Commission at Tobolsh, appointed to provide for the criminals arriving at Siberia.—Hamburg papers.

We have accounts from Pernambuco this :lamming to tl se 2-Ith September, but we cannot find any political ne se of interest The merchants at that port are .much d appointed at the terms of • the new Brasilia:2 tar ift. There are no more recent advices from Rio de .1 . 1 03(4111 than those referred to on a former occasion. It appears by the trade circular of Messrs. J `2 11320 , Ilougliwn and Co., of Liverpool, that the impor. Timber at :hat port in the past month was the fart ,est upon record, one-half the supply for the wb ole year as respects the produce of America. The recel have been, in the period stated, 240 vessels of the tonnab" of 122,585 tons. Canadian produce has been in ver j r good request—Oats, Deals, &c. The demand for Baltic' timber nes been slack. After all, it seems that the.* reduction in the duties upon timber has not, as expected, sacrificed the trade in Canadian produce. One or two of the clauses in the Supplemental Treaty with China, as ratified, has taken most of our merchants connected with the trade by suryrise. The clauses by which the Chinese merchants aye bound to ship goods bought at Hong-Kong, and destined for the five ports open to our trade, in Chinese vessels, will deprive us of the whole of the carrying trade expected to have been participated in by our shipowners, who have vessels in that quarter of the world. Still, however, the opinion is entertained, that when the superiority of our vessels fur early transit, our rapid me des of loading and unloading are extensively known, thot• the old and slow operations of the Celestial captains .tild crew win be put aside in favour of our ships, &c. A firm market has ruled for the Englisht Funds to• day. The Commissioners purchased Reduced Three per Cents. at 99k, and New Three-and-a-Quarter at 103. it The only price of Consols for Account has bet 10 , and for Money 1004 Bank Stock has been .done at 205, and Exchequer-bills at 665. to 645. premiutm. For Old South Sea Annuities 98f has been paid to-a ay, rise of 1 per cent. on the previous value. In the* J3ther securities not much alteration has taken place. The denial by the Spanish Finance Minister here', I : 4 ' Borrego, that any bonds or coupons sent in for conce 1 1 *" tion have been, or are intended to be, re-issued in as,lr, reptitious way, has produced a slight rise in the value 03 the Stocks of the country. There are, however, not a few of the bondholders who think the reply of M. Borrego, to the request for information by the Chairman of the Committee of the Bondholders on the subject, not explicit enough. There may be a reserve to the amount talked of, 600,0001. or 700,0001., available for issue, if circumstances permitted such a proceedings and which would be little else than roguery. Spanish. Three per Cents. have risen from 351 to 358. The Ac tive Bonds have been nominally at 248 for the Account. The Portuguese Converted Stock has this morning reached 561, but have again receded to 551. In the other Bonds the business has been very trifling. The market for the Railway Shares has not otr the I been quite so firm as it was yesterday. TO l atest 41 . uotations are annexed.

ROBBERY AT THE ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY ., WOOLWicii.—A labouring man, named John Hawke' worth, was found in a state of drunkenness yesterday at Woolwich, and being apparently dressed far 'fetter tbso could have been expected from his station, with silver watch and chain, and beautiful satin vest, was tak en into custody ; and it was found that he was dressed ti'Al ) top to toe in clothes which belonged to the gentleme n cadets, and had been stolen from their barracks on th' r evening of Monday last, while they were engaged et their studies. About 12 pairs of trousers have been found in a bundle which the prisoner had, besides a greet number of other articles. It is not yet known how be et" tained admission to the barracks or got out, as the radii' from 14 to 16 feet high in rear of the building. THE HANTS COUNTY POLICE.—(From a Cones' pondent.)—On Tuesday evening, the sth inst., the hi d habitants of Petersfield were much surprised by a rein' forcement of the Hants County police, from differeolt parts of the county, about sixteen in number, enteripg the town in a body, headed by Superintendent Hollowt of the Petersfield division, marching in military arrtJ A into the town, armed, without any authority from tu_ . : magistrates whatever. The object of their appear:ta u ' was to prevent any fireworks or squibs being let off e ll the occasion of the celebration of Guy Fawkes, but, r e the surprise and astonishment of a large number of tb respectable inhabitants of the town, who assembled aw usual to witness the display of fireworks, when at I ts commencement the police made an attempt to clear 14 %; street, striking right and left with their truncheons in most violent manner, wounding many persons very verely. It has been an invariable rule, for the last 111 " 1 1 , years, for all the tradespersons to close the shops et,; l o in the evening on the sth of November, to allow domestics the privilege of an evening's diversion ; and the present occasion everything would have been O il ; ducted in a respectable and peaceable manner had it no been for the unjust interference of the police. COMFORT FOR PAUPERS.—Dr. Handyside, vc b° % . designates himself secretary to the Association obtaining an Official Inquiry into Pauperism in Se? land, in his examination before the Poor-law Cotale. i t c sioners, stated, that he could say from observation To, r regard to a father and mother with four children u nee o ten, at the working period of life, that as. 6d. or o de , week might make them comfortable. The Doctor sa:d that ls. a week might do for a single man, of whi ch . is allotted weekly for nourishment. He considers 2a the lowest sum on which a man with a family of fel l , l children might be supported, exclusive of house enri clothing. Dr. Handyside's ideas of comfort and suP5 O , for paupers seem to be based on homeopathic prineiy A We would advise the Doctor to try the system I °_ r . o „, week personally, and then give his opinion. In all p si bability, the sum he so generously allots to support t to individuals, for seven days, would not prove sutficten pay for a dinner for himself alone.—Medical We understand that Mark Napier, Esq., advacEf o has been appointed Sheriff Depute of Dumfriesshire, room of Sir Thomas Kirkpatrick, of Closeburnt deceased ; and that John Inglis, Esq., advocat e ; 3/r . been appointed Deputg-Advocate in the room 01 Napier.—Edinburgh Advertiser.
