LITERATURE. HEATH'S BOOK OF BEAUTY. Longman, London, 1836. "Under the careful superintendence of the Countess of Blessingtou this Annual has considerably improved, especially in its literary department, which is more va rious and more generally entertaining than it has yet been. Among the contributors are to be found several writers eminent both in verse and prose. Mr. Landor --we are surprised that lie with his stern, lofty notions of intellectual dignity, can so far descend from his " high estate," as to write for the ephemeral pages 01 an Annual—contributes an " Imaginary, Conversa tion ;" S.:rgeant Talfourd, a " Prologue to Ion," written by himself; Mr. E. L. Bul‘ver, " Re flections suggested by a visit to Juliet's Tomb at Verona ;" Mr. H. L. Bulwer, a " Song to Myra ;" and Mr. Barry Cornwall a poem entitled " the Lady to her Lover's Picture." There are numerous other Contributions, but these are the best. From Mr. Bulwer's " Account, &c., of Juliei's Tomb," we select an extract, which should have appeared else where ; for its feeling and eloquence, and justness of re flection will be apt to be overlooked in an Annual, which is intended only to be read this half-hour, and be forgotten the next : " The Gothic lattice, the frequent balcony, the garden seen through the iron-gates that close yonder ancient court, do they not all breathe of Romeo—of Shakespeare —of Ro mance ?—of that romance which is steeped in the colours of so passionate, so intoxicating a love, that in order even to com prehend it, we must lift ourselves out of our common and worldly nature—we must rise from what our youth has been made by the' arid cares and calculating schemes of life—we mutt shut ourselves up, as it were, in a chamber of sweet dreams, from which all realities must be rigidly excluded—we must call back to the heart, to the sense, to the whole frame, it s first youth —w e must feel the blood pass through the veins as an elixir, and imagine that we are yet in that first era of the World when (according to the Grecian superstition) LOVE was the only deity that existed, and his breath was the religion of creation. Then, and then only, can we acknowledge that the legend of ' Romeo and Juliet' does not pass the limits of na ture. For the great characteristic of their lore is youth—the sparkling and divine freshness of first years :—its luxuriant Imagination—its suddenness and yet its depth—the conceits and phantasies which find common languge too tame, and Wander into sweet extravagance from the very truth of the passion —all this belongs but to the flush and May of life, the beauty of our years—the sunny surface of the golden well." Comparing the love felt by Juliet for Romeo, with that paraded by Cleopatra for Anthony, the author say s of the latter, " take away the majesty from that lore, and it sinks into the gross passion of a hoary dotard and an old coquette." This is acutely and justly remarked. In the " Dramatic Fragments," by Sir Aubrey de Vere, there is one passage so neatly ex pressed, that we cannot refrain from extracting it. Is entitled " The Past." " 'Tis bard to form true judgment of the past; We measure not from any living substance, Scan by no rule of relative proportion, No recognised affinities; but guess Those beings of our vrorship by their shadows, Dilated from the sun-set of old times ; Thus, 'mid their clouds, they show like demi-gods, Throned in obscurity ; and on the eye Loom with a lordlier aspect ; like strong towers Seen through autumnal mist near mountain lakes." The embellishments are for the most part, neither better nor worse done than usual. " Juliet" is one of th e best ; the countenance is full of the sight character ; but why has the artist given this incarnation of love, and youth, and beauty—this idol of the young, and enigma to the old—the brawny arms of a Welch dairy maid ? Juliet could seize a " sweet-heart" with a firm, tenacious grasp ; but we have yet to learn that she could fell an ox with her fist. The " Sultana" as an engraving, is first-rate, but the countenance is English —not Oriental The rich lace veil half drawn from before the pretty, but too minute, features, is admirably transparent ; the bloom of the rosy young cheek shows through it, like sun-rise through a light silvery, summer mist. We have mentioned the two choicest embellishments ; but space and time prevent us from noticing the rest as we could desire, and as they deserve, for other Annuals await us. THE KEEPSAKE. Longman, London, 1836. This Annual is replete with sentimental agonies, poured forth in appropriate poesy by one half the English aristocracy. Now we have a sort of in stinctive horror of a sentimental Lord, especially when his sensibilities take a poetic form. We are free to confess, however, that the Marquis of Londonderry's first outbreak into impassioned verse has not disap pointed us. We expected nothing, and lo ! our ex- Pectations are fulfilled to the letter. On Lord John Manner's Psalm we may expatiate in equal terms of praise. It is piously dull to a degree that might close the eyes of the briskest congregation in Christendom, as th e two first lines will show— " Blessed is he who ne'er repines 'Gainst his glorious Maker's will," 'Which have only one fault, namely, that they are ra ther too closily modelled on Sternhold and Hopkins. Lady Emmeline Stewart Wortley contributes• several Pleasing poems full of grace and feeling, and remark able for their chaste simplicity of diction ; Mr. Alfred Tennyson some stanzas on " St. Agnes ;" and Mr. James Smith a lively jeus d'esprit entitled " London Misnomers." We are sorry, however, to see the 'lames of the different contributors paraded in such o stentatious form in an appendix got up for that ex press purpose, just as if rank were synonimous with genius; and it were enough to show that an author is a Peer, to convince the world that he is also worth rea ding• The " Keepsake " did not need this sort of Puffi ng ; for it is a very tasteful Miscellany, and may r est on its own intrinsic merits. As regards the en gravings, they are the production of some of the most eminent artists of the day, and are not unworthy of their reputation. sl The Law Courts at Paris have just remitned their sittings, after the vacation. In the three Civil Chambers of the Royal Court, the number of cases remainin g to be tried is 699 ; at the same time last year it was 800. This great reduction of trials in arrear, is due to the extreme assiduity of the Judges. The cases disposed of by the three Chambers durin g the last judicial year were 1,894.

BRIGHTON.-SIUNDA.Y. 'his morning the Royal Chapel was opened for Divine worship. Th e i r M a j est i es, the Princess Augusta, and the suite and household were present. Prayers were road by , the Rev. EI. M. Wagner, assisted by the Queen's Chap lains, the Roy. Dr. Everard and the Rev. J. S. M. Ander son. The latter delivered an eloquent and impressive ser mon from the 20th verse of the eighth chapter of Jeremiah. Mr. Gutteridge presided at the organ, and the choir sang an anthem, composed by the organist. The words were taken from the 16th Psalm. The service was Kings in C. An afternoon service was performed for the first time in this Chapel, which is to be continued every Sunday during the sojourn of the Court. The Queen was present. The officiating Minister was the Rev. J. S. M. Anderson. The King and the Princess Augusta took a carriage airing to Shoreham this afternoon, but her Majesty has not left the Palace this day.

Their Graces have been on a visit at Mount Shannon, the seat of the Earl of Clare, where they were joined by Sir James Douglas and the Right Hon. T. S. Rice. The Court Newsman is wrong in his statement about the Duchess of Gordon arriving in the preceding week from the North. Her Grace has been in town for a month, and came from Corfe Castle, that being the first visit her Grace has paid since the demise of the Duke. The Duchess has not been in Scotland for nearly a year. Early in the present week her Grace and the Hon. Miss Home will leave Belgrave-square on a Continental tour.

Thy Gazette de France states that Prince de Po lignac has again fallen ill, and that the Princess has imme diately left Paris far Ham on receiving the intelligence from Dr. Benin, a medical gentleman, long resident in this country, vho attended the Prince in his prosperity, and who has most zealously adhered to his friend in his adversity. There are several distinguished ladies named to fill the office of Lady of the Bedchamber to the Queen, in the place of the late Countess Howe ; but none are expected to be appointed for some days. The election of Lord Rector of the Glasgow Uni versity promises to be one of uncommon interest. Certain allusions have been made to it by more than one Tory London Journal, to the effect that the students were about to do themselves the honour of electing Lord Lyndhurst to the Rectorial chair. However this may be, no one has yet been daring enough to make such a proposal within the College walls. Sir John Campbell has been proposed, and from the high qualifications . for the offi ce which he pos sesses (and from the enthusiasm with which his name has been received) will no doubt be elected. —Glasgow Cln•on.

It deserves to succeed ; and from the crowd of advertisements occupying its pages, success seems already obtained. To say that the London Journal is conducted with ability, and that its principles are purely patriotic, is almost superfluous. The name of the editor is significative of all that.--Tail's Magazine for November. Accounts from Belize to the beginning of September, state that the cholera had much abated in its virulence there ; the deaths which at the previous advices were up wards of 30 per day, having decreased to four or five. It had also been very prevalent down the coast among the mahogany cutters. Letters from Naples announce the breaking out of the cholera in that city. There had been, so far, e l even or twelve cases daily. The Government had made all pos sible arrangements that if the disorder should spread the sick might have prompt relief. Several cholera hospitals were fitted up, and magazines of provisions for supplying the poorer classes with wholesome food at very low prices. THE NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " YEAR IN SPAIN," " SPAIN REVISITED.”—This will be a very pleasant work to the lover of " Don Quixote" and " Lazarillo de Torines ;" the mule and the muleteer, the host and the hostler, the town barber and the friar, and the bandit, are all drawn to the life. The volume s are given in the form of a journal, though without the dates ; and every day, from the chocolate at rising to the tortilla at supper, is given with fidelity and spirit. The traveller mixed with all classes of the inhabitants, in city and in country, and gained a considerable mass of inte resting information which he has pleasantly retailed. w e part with this clever and sprightly work with great reluc tance, and hope the author will make a third trip to the land of the dance and the song, and describe it in as amusing a manner as he has done in this.—Gentienia n ' s Magazine for November. DESTRUCTION OF THE SPIRE OF CHRIST CHURCH BY LIGHTNING.—About four o'clock on Thurs day afternoon, a most vivid flash of lightning accompanied by a dreadful burst of thunder shook this town. The fluid struck Christ's Church, and has levelled nearly the whole of the spire with the ground. Most of the beautiful pin nacles which ornamented the tower are demolished—the clock, and two illuminated dials are destroyed—the organ is much injured, and the roof of the Churcl) has been sent through into the body of the building. Some of the stones from the tower were drawn forty or fifty yards. The gas was set on firc, and might have done much more injury, ha,i it not been immediately stepped. NV bat other degree of injury the building, especially the tower, has sus tained cannot at present be ascertained. Nor can it at pre sent be known what direction afterwards the electric fluid took—whether it flew off from the part of the lower fractures or descended towards the foundation of the edi fice. The appearance of the broken spire—about one ' third of which is gone—the shattered portions of the tower— broken canopies —shattered pinnacles and battlements—the accumulation of the ruins on the outside of, and within the edifice—are truly lamentable, and awakened the deep re gret of all persons who had assembled to view the scene of devastation. It is impossible, at the present time, to esti mate the amount of the injury which the building has sus tained ; but it must be very considerable. The shock which the tower and spire have undergone must he also very severe ; and it is to be hoped that no serious injury is done to the lower walls. It is providential tha t this lament able event did not take place on a Sunday, during the time of service ; for, had that b een th e case, many lives would, in all probability, have been lost. —Doncaster Gazette. THE LORD MAYOR'S STATE LIVERIES.—The state liveries of the coachmen, pages, and footmen of the Lord Mayor for the year ensuing are of the most superb and costly description—far surpassing, it is said, any that have preceded them in elegance and beauty. The coats are made from claret-coloured cloth of the finest texture, and richly striped with gold lace of the best quality, the stripes being tastefully interspersed with acorns and oak leaves, composed of the same preciot,s metal, and the epau lettes are the most splendid that could be manufactured, The waistcoats and breeches are of the finest white kersey mere, and also richly braided with gold lace. The hats and other minor articles of dress arc in accordance with the suits. Last week, M. Eugene Cheylard, only son of one of the most respectable inhabitants of L T zurche, in the Cor reze, was amusing himself with some young friends, by moonlight, in jumping over a low wall which divided two gardens, when he was mistaken for a thief, who had robbed the garden of a M. Dorat, and hastily fired at by M. Boo baton, M. Dorat's servant ; the contents of the gun lodged in his head and neck, and i❑ half an hour he expired. Boubillou has disappeared, but, it is said that he was so overwhelmed with grief for what he had done, that it is feared he has put an end to his own life. geant. These appointments, it need not be said, have given universal satisfaction. Even the Tories are enforced, to acknowledge that the appointments could not be better. Mr. O'Loghlen is the first Catholic Judge that has sat on Bench since the days of James the Second, when Mr. Nagle, the ancestor of the present Sir Richard, was Chief Baron of the Exchequer. This indeed, is a revolution ; and one which must fill the Irish people with delight.—Dublin Even ing Post. The Duke of Bucclench, and a party of noble friends, have been enjoying great sport at Athol Forest, in deer-stalking. This extensive demesne, of 45,000 acres, has derived great advantage from the plantations made for the last fifteen years ; and the red deer are in great abun dance, being seen in droves of between 3,000 end 4,000 head at a time. The Noble Duke has frequently shot four and five a day ; and the united party have sometimes killed 18 to 20 from " dawn to dusk." Mr. Wallace, of the Madras Civil Service, has been unanimously elected a member of the Dramatic Authors' Society. AFFAIR OF "HONOUR."—In the course of a trial at Castleblaney Quarter Sessions on Friday last, an alter cation took place between Mr. 'F. R. and Mr. C. C. G., the attorneys engaged on opposite sides. Angry and vitu perative expressions passed between these gentlemen so personal and strong, that the Court was obliged to inter fere and put a stop to the wordy warfare. On the even ing of that day, Mr. Bellingham and Mr. J. M. Reed, ac tive and intelligent Magistrates of that town, received in formation that a challenge had been given, and a hostile meeting agreed on ; in consequence of which they directed the police to he on the alert, for the purpose of .arresting the parties. Police-sergeant Thompson accordingly dis patched sub-constable Murphy in the night mail to Monag han, to watch the residence of Mr. R., whilst he himself, eiith three sub-constables, remained in the street of Castle blaney all night, under the severe rain. About five o'clock on Saturday morning Mr. R. was seen issuing from Twicle's Hotel (Castleblaney), accompanied by a Mr. C. In a short time afterwards, Mr. G. left Rule's Hotel, accompa nied by Dr. M. in a gig. Both parties (the first being on foot) took their route through Lord Blaney's demesne, pursued by the police. The belligerents had proceeded about three miles, when they were overtaken by the peace officers, upon which they attempted to gain a boat on the lake that had been previously placed there for the pur pose, if necessary, of effecting their escape. Mr. G. suc ceeded in gaining the boat, and rowed off, but Mr. R. was arrested and conveyed back to the town, where he was held in recognisances to keep the peace—himself in 1,0001., and two sureties in 5001. each. Mr. G. afterwards re turned and gave similar security.—Newry Telegraph. HIGHWAY ROBBERlES.—Considerable alarm has lately prevailed at Sydenham and the neighbouring country in consequenee of several very daring attempts at highway robbery having been made by two footpads. A short time ago, it may be remembered, that a gentleman was stopped on Hayes -common while driving his chaise, and had two pistols presented at his head by two footpads, and was threatened with being shot if he made any resistance, and did not deliver up his money. Owing, however, to the resistance made by the gentleman, and the pistols of the villains. having missed fire, he escaped being robbed. Since then a Mrs. Davis was stopped by two men an swering the description of those above-mentioned, in Sydenham-lane, about seven o'clock in the even ing. They jumped over a hedge into the lane, and having held her by the arms, demanded her money. She immediately gave them all she had in her possession at the time (about five shillings), and they left her and retreated back into the field out of which they had pounced upon her. On Wednesday night, as Mr. James Humphries, a corn-chandler, at Chiselhurst, was returning home, in his cart, about twelve o'clock, at a short distance from Lewis ham, he heard cries of " murder." He immediately pulled up, and shortly afterwards a man jumped over the hedge into the road, and in a state of alarm said that he had just been stopped in crossing a footpath in the field by two highwaymen, one of whom struck at him with a bludgeon, but he parried off the blow ; and at the moment the noise of the cart going along the road alarmed the villains, and they made a precipitate retreat. Since then another at tempt was Made to rob two females, named Cowlid -and Halman, who together were proceeding along Lewisham_ lane, at about seven o'clock in the evening, when they were stopped by two men, who jumped out of a field by the road side ; at the moment, however, that the ruffians were about to rob them, a gentleman in a chaise drove along, when they retreated back into the field and escaped. The two females were taken up by the gentleman, and conveyed home in his chaise. The metropolitan police ex tend to within one mile of where these attempts have been made. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE IIOYAL HURT.—The first public day with this esta blishment was fixed for Monday last, at Salt-hill, where deer and hounds were in readiness at the appointed hour, but owing to the heavy fall of snow a day or two previous, and the severe frost of that morning, it was deemed prudent not to hunt that day. A disappointment to the lovers of the chase from such a cause, on the first day of the season, is not within our recollec tion. The next fixture was Wednesday, at Ascot Heath, where the deer (St. George) was uncarted, and followed by a good number of sportsmen, to whom he afforded ample sport to suffice for the blank day of Monday. The line of country this noble animal passed through was from Ascot, round Swin ley, to Bagshot, then to Chobham, and near Chertsey to By fleet, on to Ccbham, and in the park of H. Combe, Esq., near that place, at five o'clock, the chase was ended, but not by the capture of the deer, who was allowed to remain there unmo lested till the following morning, when the hounds were again laid on, and he was captured after a short run. On Friday the place of meeting was at Iver Heath, and the deer selected for the day afforded a good run of about two hours, being taken at Taplow, having from Ivor passed through Long copse, Black-park, Wexham, Burnham-beeches, &c. From what we have heard, a brilliant season with these hounds may be pretty confidently anticipated. This establishment does not go to Aylesbury this month. The Committee of the Printers' Pension Society have taken the English Opera House, and have an nounced a performance there this evening for the benefit of the Society. Independently of the attractions of the performance itself, which will consist of The Mountain Sylph. and several other favourite pieces, embracing the whole strength of the company, this entertainment well deserves the attention and ;support of the public, from its highly useful object, which is to enlarge the funds and in crease the usefulness of an excellently administered and most valuable benevolent institution. The Siege of Corinth is to be produced at Drury lane to-morrow, supported by the most powerful band and chorus hitherto introduced in an English theatre ; and as iNldlle. Duvernay dances in the ballet, which takes place in the piece, an additional number of dancers have been engaged to support her. On Saturday a new piece was produced at the Victoria Theatre, written by Mr. Macarthy, for whose benefit it was played. It is called The Irish Absentee. From a conversation which Rossini held lately with a distinguished Parisian vocalist it woud teem. that the Swan of Pesaro, as he is termed by his countrymen, has sung .his last song. Being asked when a new opera might be expected from him, he is said to have replied, " Why should I write anything more ? If my opera should create a sensation it would be nothing new to me ; and if it should fail I should be reproached with its failure to the end of my days, and vexed with myself for having risked it. No, with an income of sixty thousand francs, I can live as I please ; let the others take their turn." It is said that Schlesinger, the Paris musical publisher, has in vain offered him a hundred thousand francs for the copyright of a new opera.— Musical World. BATH. Nov. s.—The great pump room is just opened, after having been extensively improved and reno vated. Improvements, corresponding with those in the pump room, have likewise been made in the baths. Many of the private rooms have been newly furnished, and the walls hung throughout with drapery—costly, as well as useful amendments, only noticeable as they are the acts of the Council, and show that they are occasionally mindful of the city's interest and character. The history of bridge build ing records nothing to surpass the rapidity with which Vic toria Bridge, across our river, at Norfolk Crescent, has been constructed. About 14 weeks ago the masons and iron works commenced, and now every chain is in its place, and the far greater proportion of the suspension apparatus connected with the stone work fitted and " yotted" with lead. This bridge will connect Marlborough-buildings and the Upper Bristol road with the village of Tiverton, and will be opened in about•a fortnight. We are informed that it is not the intention of Mr. C. Kemble to enter into any new engagement after the con clusion of that he is now performing. EXPLOSION OF A STEAM ENGINE BOILER.— Two PERSONS KILLED—FIVE HURT.—MANCHESTER, Nov. s.—This morning, about eight o'clock, the inhabit ants in the vicinity of the Exchange were electrified by a report produced by the bursting of a large steam-engine boiler, in Bateman's-buildings, Dean's-gate, Manchester. The noise was e q u a l t o th a t pro d uce d by the discharge of many pieces of heavy ordnance. - The effects have been most calamitous—two killed and five dangerously hurt, so much so, that there is no hope of the recovery of three. Soon, however, as they could be extricated from the ruins (for the building that contained the boiler is a complete ruin, not a vestige standing), they were taken to an infir mary, where first professional aid in the kingdom is always to be had. The two killed were repairing another boiler in the same building. It is remarkable that no means seem to be adopted to prevent similar accidents, especially when the remedies are plain and simple. If, for instance, a pipe was connected with the top of the boiler, whose altitude was 100 or 150 feet, theihigher the safer, through which the steam when too high could eject the water in the boiler, accidents of this kind could not occur. Major-General Sir Henry Bouverie, K.C.8., has appointed Capt. Bridges, of the Horse Artillery, his Aide de-Camp, and Captain Maxwell, of the 82d, his Assistant Military Secretary. Sir Henry is expected to assume the government of Malta about the 10th instant. His suc cessor in the command of the northern district is Major- General Sir Richard D. Jackson. act of incendiarism by which the farm offices of Knole House, the property of Sheffield Grace, Esq., were destroyed, has been successfully investigated. The result of thirteen depositions clearly prove the crime to have been committed by a young footman in the establishment of that gentleman, who had become connected with a gang of poachers, and was accompanied and instigated to the deed by the most notor i ous, d ar i ng, and feroc i ous poacher in the neighbourh oo d, on whom Mr. Sheffield Grace had, as a Magist rate, inflicted a peoalty of 51.—Sussex C,»Tespandent. HORRIBLE INFANTICID correspondent of the Bombay G aze t te o f A pr il 6, on the faith of a letter front Ahmedeuggur, states the following horrible trans action :—" It is distressing to relate, that for these fee' days past several native children have been missed from the Petah of this place, and general report says, that a Raj pootnee of distinction, residing a few days' march from hence, and who has for some days past been in a dangerous state of illness, having been informed by her medical advisers that all endeavours to restore her would prove in effectual unless she consented to eat the heart and liver of twenty ycung children, at length acquiesced in the measure. Three days since (says my correspondent, whose letter is dated the 2d inst.) a child was found in a nullah near this place, with the belly cut open, from which the heart and liver had been extracted. There are now two .men con fined in the bazaar guard, who have been taken up on sus. picion of being connected with this horrible traffic.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. s.—The Sentinelle des Pyrenees an• nounces from the letter of a Liberal Correrpondent in the environs of Bilboa, that General Espartero was on the 28th at La Pena de Ordena, and was expected to arrive at Bilboa on the 30th. On the same day (the 28th) says the letter, the garrison of Bilboa made a sally on that side of the city which the Carlists have attacked three times without success. The garrison fought with resqlution—it burnt several houses iri which thee:way had taken post, and spiked some pieces of cannon. Four hundred wounded Carlists have been conveyed to Durango and Zlrnosa. The Carlists, having 13arnt the approach of Espartero, raised the siege. It is affirmed that since the beginning of the siege. the Carlists have had one thousand men killed and wounded, among whom arc eighteen superior officers. M. de la Rochefaucauld, Colonel of Artillery, and a Portuguese General were. killed. The Portuguese General, as we have before mentioned, was named Coello.—Journal do Commerce, Nov. 5. • PARIS, Nov. 4.-We are assured that a letter dated Turin, Oct. 26th, announces the arrest of about thirty persons. They are for the most part advocates, phy sicians, and merchants, settled at Turin. Among the per sons arrested there are also four ecclesiastics. All are thrown into prison, and the greatest mystery has hitherto been observed respecting the causes of this measure, which are doubtless of a political nature. A journal of this morn ing. says :-" A new ambassador, it is said, is going to Lisbon, to succeed M. de St. Priest. This will be a new concession to the demands of Lord Palmerston, who finds that our ambassador was too French in the events at Lisbon. M.

The Basle Gazette states that it was reported that the Duke de Montebello had received a dispatch from Count Mole, which u•as'believed to contain instructions to exact a formal dis tvowal of the decision of the Diet relative to the affair of Conseil. The Helvetic of the 31st ult. has the following :—" The Diet resumed its sittings to-day, with closed doors. Basle town proposed the adoption of the draught answer pre sented by the President, M. Tscharner, with two amend ments ; one that the retractation of the decision against Con seil should be founded upon further c ommunications made by the Directory to the States ; and the other, that an abso lute silence should be preserved as to the imputation of France against the Swiss a uthorities, considering that she bad no right to interfere in the internal affairs of Switzer land. Zurich delivered a powerful speech in favour of the proposal of the majority. Basle-country, although a fron tier Canton, expresses its readiness to endure any new vexa tious measures, rather than withdraw the decree of the Diet.

We have received to-day some additional information re— specting the measures lately adopted in Poland, in conse quence of an alleged conspiracy among the officers of the army of occupation. Our correspondent does not apprise us of the arriC , al in that eountry . of Messrs. Razinsff and Krazinski, the extraordinary Commissioners (sent by 'le Emperor Nicholas), but he mentiin; that a great numb u. of arrests had taken place in difErcnt corps of the army, and among the nobility and citizens, not only of the king dom of Poland, but of Lithuania, and of the once free city of Cracow. A supply of artillery has been forwarded to Wilna and Warsaw, where a certain number of cannon, loaded with grape-shot, are constantly stationed in the public squares. The most rigorous orders have been given to the Custom officers and commanders of the military , posts along the frontiers, to search most strictly the per sons of the travellers and waggoners, as also their goods. and to stop all letters. Nothing. can now pass, without undergoing a double or treble inspection ; passports, bills of lading, seals —nothing- is respected. The merchants complain sadly, but severe measures are adopted against those who do so with any degree of vivacity. The appre hensions entertained by the Russian Government, respect ing the secret disaffection of th e army , are no t a lt oge th er unfounded. The officers are continually changing from one regiment to another—extraordinary measures of precaution are daily enforced--and it is now notorious that Liberal, we might say Republican, ideas have of late made alarming progress in the army. _____ (Froth the New York Papers received to the 18th ult.) IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS. • New YORK, OCT. 15.—Almost every day this week we have had a succession of arrivals. Our last dates are to the 14th of September from Europe. The most striking news is, in England the money-market was tight, and a sort of war commenced on United States bills, the object of which was not to grant to the American merchant facilities for exporting specie. Cash is so scare that bills on London have fallen to 1071 for money, but ice paper 110 and 112 is paid freely ; the difference between cash and notes has never been so great as it is now. The relief in the money market that was anticipated last week has not been realized. The new bank has let out a million and a halt; but as the specie they require to supply themselves with must be taken from other banks, they have in turn diminished their loans full a corresponding amount. Some of the banks are also ac cumulating specie : the Bank of America have the credit of having on hand full 2,000,000 ; all this tends to keep money scarce. The western banks are all pressed, and have to cur tail ; the order of the Treasury falls heavily on them, as specie is required for their bills to buy lands with. All parts of the country appear to be in a most deranged state ; and this city being the common centre, the effect is felt here from every extremity. The banks being wholly unable to satisfy the demand, an immense amount of paper finds its way into the street, and the regular rate of discount this week has been one and a half to two per cent. a month—all stocks have gone down, and Wall-street looks almost as bad as it (lid in panic times. The report 'of the stock and share market for the 13th says,—' As low as stocks wera yester day. they arc two three per cent. lower to-day ; United States Bank, 1161 ; Delaware and Hudson, 791 ; Morris Canal, 88 ; State Bank, 106:} Atlantic Bank, 102,,J ; .. We observe sales of Vicksburgh Bank at 87i. One hundred Atlantic Marine sold at 175 and 176 ; Jackson Marine, 91i : Mohawk, 81 ; Boston and Providence, 100. The present very low prices of stocks must induce capitalists to come into the market ; we look next week for a rise. Fri day, p.m.—As low as stocks were yesterdaA i they have de clined from three to five per cent. again to-day ; from ap pearances we should judge they have reached their lowest. There has not been any failures of consequence. United States Bank down to 116 ; Delaware and Hudson, 73 ; Morris Canal, 82. The manner in which the stocks fall can be seen by reference to the sales, each successive is about one per cent. lower than the last.' The New York Express says, "Ihe Bank of England is making war upon American merchants.' It then proceeds thus— " The mercantile operations of this country with England are based upon our export of cotton, rice, and tobacco. Bills of exchange are their representatives. If our mer chants choose to take gold instead of British manufac tures, how can the Bank of England help itself? True, these bills of exchange can be refused, and our merchants put to great inconvenience. True, while the British are selling goods on credit to all the other nations of the world, the United States can be cut off from that credit, and our merchants can be made to wait for British goods until our cotton is in Manchester. But we can fearfully retaliate. We are now England's best Customers, but we can 60011 manufacture - for ourselves. Again, if the Bank of England will not do our business, banking-houses can be created in Liverpool and Manchester that will. The locus in quo can he easily changed, for instead of going from Liverpool to London to discount bills, it is quite as easy to stop at Liverpool, where our cotton finds its port. The Bank of England, then, is throwing dust into its oven eyes. " "Thus we perceive that, with the impracticable view of stopping the exporting of gold, the Bank of England is striking not only at our internal improvements, which pro mise to be, and are, the safest and surest stocks in the world, but at ten American houses in England, which do the business of 80,000,000 dols. in American trade. In diana wants .5,000,0'00 dols., Maryland 7,000,000 dols., and Kentucky 2,000,000 dols., for the purpose of internal improvements, but the Bank of England is putting her veto upon this. Supposing it was resolved in this country that no discount should he made where any person was con nected with the cotton or British trade—this would he but retaliation for an injury already begun. The Bank of Eng land has commenced a mercantile war upon us, and we have a right to retaliate as we can, English merchants are alarmed because gold comes here, and because the rate of interest is rising in England, but even forgetting this one important fact, that trade is equalizing itself, and that as our packet ships link the English race of America with the English race over sea, interest and everything else will equalize themselves at last. We are but one people—one in interest, one in spirit, and we are only comit b es together. " In pecuniary affairs we do not like to sound an alarm, but we must. say, that this bold and proscriptive act of the Bank of England towards American merchants demands a response from this side of the water. It is in principle but little better than the other wars that England has unwisely waged with her children before. Our Chambers of Coma mice shot.ld take it up. The country should be made to ring with denunciations of the act. We need British capi tal ; our internal improvements demand it, our enterprise will sutiar without it. Every dollar laid out upon our rivers, or in canal:', or railroads, is, as it were, sowing our land broadcast with gold. The Bank of England, whether it is driven by the spirit ofa visionary speculation, or jealousy of our wonderful growth, lies no right to single out our land as an object of •proseription.'" In relation to the refuse of the Bank of England to dis count American paper, the e',"eze Irosie illorniilg Courier— a greet authority in that city on financial and commercial s ubjects—has the following : It. is not correct to say, as has been asserted, that the Bank of England has refused to discount paper having on it the names of English houses trading to this country, or that the governors of that institution ever had such a measure under contemplation. It would have 'seen much too indis criminate in its character, for most of these houses have l e rger money transactions with the continent of Europe and other parts of the world than they have with this country ; and to have refused all bills of exchange, either accepted or endorse by them, would have inflicted so severe a blow on the whole Commerce of .Great Britain, that the Bank itself must have fei: the recoil, and have sunk under universal in dignation, What the Batik for a short time did contem plate was to refuse all paper drawn in this country by Banks, or other incorporated compenice, or houses in Eng land. On learning this a deputation was sent to London by the bankers of I ayes: tool to remonstrate against the measure, which had tiee desired effect. The idea was - given up, and at the last accu.. its, drafts of the chara c te r referred to, were discounted with :ore than usual facility by the Rink."' It has been generally asserted, that the .0 1, ieeet of the Bank, in the measure they had undo: consideration, was to prevent the export of gold from England to the United States. This we. very much doubt, There is no exporta tion of gold at present going on from England to this, country. The rate of exchange ofiiirs riti inducement to it, nor has it for a long time past. The ship; ienta that were made a short time since from Europe were : . I.lde at the instigation of our wise tnen.at, Washington, and were not resorted to as the most advantageous mode of remio.ance. These facts the Bank of England must have known, and that at present there is no encouragement to ship specie to the United States. We believe the fact is, that the Governors of the Bank of England look with an eye of jealousy at the investtnent of English capital in our icor. porated companies, because, as they pay a rate of interest so much higher than their own, they are apprehensive it may depre c i a t e t h e va l ue o f the i r own and thT nutiond stock, and they therefore for a short time tliouilit of re. jecting ail bills of exchange, evidently arising out of them , Had th ey pers i ste d i n so - dising, which we repeat they have not, it would only have made a difference of one-half per cent. in the rate of exchange. Some twenty years ago the Bank of England did not discount any foreign drafts drawn on the outposts, though payable in London, rind the dills:- yence it made in their negoeiatien on foreign exchanges was, as above stated, but one-half per cent,"
