The Herald of this morning affects to be facetious —but is dull by mistake—on the subject of the late great meeting at the Manchester Athenaeum. Mr D'lsaAcm's speech, in particular, diverts our Con temporary exceedingly, and he asks with amusing naivete—" Of what importance on earth is it to the rest of the empire to know that this gentleman went down to Manchester, to tell the people there the his tory of what they themselves had done—a history with which They were, of course ; much better ac quainted than he could possibly be ?" This, it must be confessed, is smart ; or rather it would be smart, were it either just, pertinent, or pointed. But the inherent defects of nature are not to be counteracted by even the most strenuous labour, and therefore, despite our Contemporary' s evident determination to put a witty question, he has put—what he could not help—simply a dull and a nonsensical one. From the manner in which he shapes his interrogatory, the reader would infer, as a matter of course, that Mr. DISRAELI went down to Manchester for no other purpose than to enlighten the inhabitants of that great manufacturing capital on the subject of their own particular branch of commerce; to give them a his tory of the rise and progress of the cotton trade ; and of the wonderful improvements they had effected in the power-loom and the spinning-jenny. But, un luckily for the Herald, the llon. Member for Shrews bury went down to Manchester for no such idle pur pose. He is not the man to carry coals to New castle. lie went down—not unsolicited, by the bye, but at the express invitation of some of the leading men of the Athenwum—to give expression to senti tnents of the utmost consequence to a commercial com munity—sentiments lofty, generous, and bracing in their tone, and such as it does an English audience good to listen to—sentiments breathing a fervid emotion, extensive in their application, catholic in their ten dency, and calculated to foster a sense of self-respect and noble emulation among men, whose minds are but too apt to become warped and dwarfed, and covered over with a hard, dry crust of selfishness from the fiElibi4rbigitigltiiture of the worldly and business -like they are engaged. The beautiful gllttilitheenunciated by the Memb er for Shrews-., bitty at tilielids;4 mplished young friend, Mr. Sisimu, •_ ; • •~ , - _1 THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1844, at Manchester, will not—however it may suit our Contemporary's views to sneer at them—be soon for gotten by the admiring thousands who listened to them, but will sink deep into their hearts, and 13...ing forth fruit in due season. " Mr. D'IsBAELI," continues the Herald, " enunciated some rare maxims, and one of these was, that it is the duty of every citizen in a free community to be acquainted with the opinions he has formed. We hope this is a duty which Young England has not failed to perform, for if their opinions —as we presume their phantasies are designated —can be reduced to a comprehensible system, the sooner some one of the fraternity remembering the fate of the theories of the late Reverend and ingenious EDWARD 'lmmo, pro mulgates their politics in a known tongue, the more advantageous will it be to their prosperity." So far as we can perceive, there is nothing cloudy ror incomprehensible in the opinions advocated by that band of ardent, generous, and thoroughly English spirits who call themselves —say, rather, who are called by others--" Young England." They are not visionaries—they are not fanatics—on the contrary, they are to all intents and purposes men of the world, but in whom worldly knowledge has not yet chilled nor destroyed the better impulses of nature. Their party is a far more numerous one than is generally supposed, and em braces many individuals who—good easy souls !—have not the remotest notion that they hold anything in common with them. Whoever advocates the legi timate rights of the poor, and desires to see fair play between them and their superiors, he is Young Eng land. Whoever wishes to see an end put to that de basing party strife which has so long warped the minds of some of the ablest statesmen of the day, and by preventing them from co-operating with each other, has retarded the great cause of public improve. ment, he is Young England. Whoever wishes to bring the different grades of the social community more in harmony with each other than they have ever yet been, he is Young England. Whoever loathes—as we do—from his inmost soul the hollow, sickening cant of political expediency, and prefers to hold fast by political principle, with out which there can be no true greatness either among men or among nations, he is Young England. Finally, whoever desires to see popular education based on a tolerant and enlightened foundation, so that the false shall never more be mistaken for true—the shadow for the substance—the word for the thing—he is Young England. In a word, Young England is nothing more than an appeal to what may be yet left of justice, honour, generosity, self-reliance and healthy, catholic feeling in the E ng li s h character., There are no such living impersonifications of he Dogberries and the Vergeses, whose immortal prototypes were designed by the hand of &lax- SPEARE nearly two centuries ago, as the judicial func tionaries of our provincial jurisdictions. Among these provincial jurisdictions, it has always been a question with us whether any could exceed, in the extravagance of their pretensions and the absurdity of their deportment, the courts of our Channel Islands ; the mighty Manx Parliament (this latter wielding, like ST. PETER, the powers of certain obso lete " Keys), and our multifarious manorial and other local courts. But the Royal Court of the little ditch and-orchard-divided island of Jersey has removed all doubt and difficulty on the subject from our minds, by clearly establishing a pre-eminent title, in a case recently pending before it, to occupy the very first rank on the records of this unenviable notoriety. It has now approved its own superior ignorance o' the local law itself administers, and of the common-law of the mother country. It has shown an utter want of self-respect in the petulance of its bench and its officers; and an utter want of respect for the undoubted rights and privileges of English. men, throughout every portion of the widely-ex. tended dominion of Great Britain, by the bare. faced and tyrannical violation of these privi leges and rights in _the person of an Eng lish gentleman, a sojourner (to his misfortune) among the men of Jersey. Mr. CARU3 WIL SON, whom most men who have resided long in London may remember as " the long gentleman ie spectacles," has been unlucky enough, it seems, to get involved in some squabble with the petty authorities of this " islet." With the particulars of the squabble, or the printed reflections that led to it, it is not necessary for our purpose to meddle at all. Mr IlrusoN may afford to have them all taken as against himself, and as establishing a good and equitable ground for the prosecution instituted against him by LE SUEUR. We are far from intimating that the fact is so; but were the hypothesis even admitted, it could make no difference in the very serious delin quency of which Mr. WILSON has to complain. On the former hearings, Mr. WILSON, who evi dently has his_ professional wits about him, took various objections to the pleadings before the court, its competency to try them, and other matters which he mooted with so much address and effect, as mate rially to disorganise the equanimity of his judges. The overweening nationality of the islanders is not the least remarkable feature in their moral compo. sition. These judges were, we apprehend, Jersey men, and Mr. WILSON, after taking many objections, more or less formidable to the prosecution, had completed the measure of his offence by imputing to them a bias or prejudice against him. They found WILSON too strong in his constitutional and technical objections, to settle the matter in their off-hand Jersey fashion. The further hearing was adjourned until two or three days since, when Mr. WILSON took a preliminary objection to the con tinued proceeding, on the very substantial grounds. founded on tke express terms of a local Act regulating and defining the law of these matters, that himself and co-defendant had not been legally summoned, and that the cause itself had not been regularly entered and brought on. This objection was sustained and illus tratedby the island Solicitor- General, but it was affirmed on the plea in rejoinder on behalf of the plaintiff that the practice of the court of late years had authorised such deviations from the law (a law, as the Times well observes, "as yet scarcely ten years old"). That the objection came too late, was no answer to the original vice of the proceeding as being contrary to law ; and an unrepealed express law of so recent a date could not be overruled by vicious or lax practice. But further. more, the court itself was composed of the Bailli and two jurats, all of whom had been previously " re cused," or challenged, by WILSON, on the ground of personal animosity to him. Now, we entreat the reader to observe-1. That the challenge was good at law ; •l. That another jurat has formally declared, that after it had been recorded, these parties ought not to have assisted at all at the hearing of the cause. On their return into court, and when they were about to read their decision on this plea, reduced into writing, Mr. WILSON made a protest against " that act being read." Those terms, we affirm without hesitation embodied as sound principles of law, expressed: in language as concise, temperate, and proper as it was possible for any man to em- ploy under such circumstances. But then, it seems, that Mr. WILSON'S manner, in uttering them, was too energetic ! Mr. Ilraforf, who had over and again, from time to time, sent them back to reconsider the mistakes of practice and construction they were committing in dealing with his case—who had been subjected to very gross and personal re flections from LB SUSUR, without the Court's once interposing to check them—whose very protest was grounded on the plea of personal animosity to him, in these men, his " judges"—he was too animated and energetic for the nervous susceptibilities of these Channel Island Rhadamanthuses. M. LE BAILLI desired him to sit down, and the same high officer then appealed to the Attorney-General for his opinion of the language which WILSON had employed. The latter again interposes to request that he will speak in English. But what says this officer of an English Sovereign, in an English possession, respondin g t o an _ _ English subject, and suitor in her MAJESTY'S courts of law ? As if the example of Dogberry tu:nulence were irresistible, he, too, takes a long inflation, and with equal pomposity and forgetfulness, or ignorance of his duty, to his fellow-subject, " declines to do that, under the circumstances, which he might do, as an act of courtesy, but is not bound to 'do." Of " courtesy," truly ! We should like to know what an insular Attorney-General's notions of courtesy may be ; his notions a law are clearly not worth the collecting ; but we hope some other party, if Mr. WiLsox should omit to do s o , w i ll have the " courtesy" to bring this strang e declaration under the notice of her MAJESTY'S Government, or of the Imperial Parliament. Mr._ Attorney was at that By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, the Lady Mary Wood, we have received intelligence from Gibraltar to September 28; Cadiz, 29; Lisbon, October 1 ; and Oporto, 2. The Cortes assembled at Lisbon on the 30th of September. In the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of the Interior read a report of the use the Government had made of its discretionary powers. The Chamber appointed two Committees, one of which to give its opinion upon the use made thereof by the Government, and the other to take into consideration the subject of a bill of indemnity. The Duke of PALMELLA presided in the Chamber of Peers, when nearly similar proceedings took place, with some slight opposition on the part of Count LAVRODIO. The session, it is believed, will be very short. The tobacco, soap, and gunpowder contracts, had been let for 1.521 contos, on the condition of a loan to Government of one million sterling at 5 per cent. Madrid papers of the 29th have been received, but they bring no news. It is understood that the speech of the QUEEN, at the opening of the Cortes, will contain an outline of the changes in the Consti tution, which the Government have in view. The preparatory meeting was fixed for the 2d inst. MADRID BOURSE, SEPT. 28.—Five per Cents., 20 for cash ; Three per Cents., 28i for cash. The Paris papers announce that the KING and QUEEN, Madame ADELAIDE and the Duke of MONT PENSIER arrived at Eu on Thursday night, at eleven o'clock. The visit of his MAJESTY to England is strongly opposed by the Opposition journals, for no other reason that can be imagined but pure hatred of this country. Louis PHILIPPE wishes to live at peace with all the European States, because he believes it for the good of his people, as well as con ducive to the stability of his dynasty. The Repub • 'leans and Legitimatists wish for war, because they vainly suppose that the darling object of each would be the result. The Siecle, a journal hostile to Eng land, thus blames the KING for returning the com piment of a visit, like a gallant Frenchman, to Queen VICTORIA :—" It is on Monday next, that his Majesty LOUIS PHILIPPE is to quit the French soil and sail for England. It appears that this unpopular as well as ill-timed journey has experienced even in the bosom of the Royal Family a resistance before which any Minister but M. GUIZOT would have hesitated. It is even said that the KING'S physicians, whose opinions had been asked, would not advise that it should be undertaken. In fine, and as if the Ministers wished to concur in demonstrating the gra vity of this determination, it is proposed to delegate during the absence of the KING the exercise of the Sovereign authority to the Duke DE NEMOURS, who is to be appointed Lieutenant-General of the kingdom. A journey which requires such precaution ceases to be a party of pleasure, and becomes an affair of State. The excursions of Queen VICTORIA are of no conse quence. She is a young woman who seeks amuse ment with a species of passion, and whose caprice leads her wherever a new sight is promised her, either at the Isle of 'Wight, the Chateau d'Eu, or even in the fogs of the Highlands. But a KING of 70 years of age should not run after adventures ; and when it is seen that the Ministers who are conducting LOUIS PHILIPPE to Windsor require of him a species of political testament before he embarks on board the steam-boat, it is naturally asked whether the trifling satisfaction of receiving some bravoes in England can compensate and justify the embarrassments to which the Government has the appearance of expos ing him. The KING'S journey is giving serious uneasiness to a number of the Conservative party. We require no better proof than the silence observed by the Journal des Debats. As to the Opposition, with out being insensible to the pre-occupation which ap pears to pervade the majority, it reserves its soli citude principally for the political side of the question. If it do not approve of the journey, it is because it considers the state of the relations between the Governments of France and England, and the just susceptibility which is produced in France by every appearance of anxiety on the part of the French with respect to the English Government." The affair of Otaheite has been again revived in all its bitterness by the letters of the Times corre spondent, describing the battle between the French and the natives. Even the Constitutionnel, a journal generally conducted with temper and discretion, looses all self-command on the subject. "We are reduced," it says, "to have recourse to the journals of London for the details of the last events at Ota heite, and certainly it is not the truth which we find in the correspondence of the Times, but lies and abuse. We copy these odious letters, which make their appearance most apropos, in the midst of the visit of the KING of the FRENCH to Windsor. But let it be well understood. the people who have written to the Times have seen nothing, and know nothing of what has taken place; they are guided by such furious passions ; their reason and judgment are so mastered by hatred to France, that their view is necessarily troubled. They do not narrate facts ; they outrage. These English, these Christians, who, in a conflict between France and a people of savages, feel sympathy only for the Otaheiteans, and transform our soldiers into canni- --- bats, give us, by their language, the measure of their sentiments of humanity and religion. It is true tha they owe this last testimony to these poor islanders, who have been in all this affair but the docile instru ments of their fury. If we pause on the letters of the Times, it is particulary to remind the Ministry of the sad consequences of the inconceivable conduct which it has adopted. The Minister of Marine must have in his possession all the reports of Commandant BRUAT on the late events at Otaheite. lie has pub lished nothing except a garbled note, which is con tradicted even in its short details by the few private letters which have reached France. Why has this incomplete information been given to the public ? Why has not the report concerning the affair of April 18 been inserted in the official journals ? Where is the State reason which did not allow to be done for Otaheite what is done every day for Algeria ? No thing excuses the silence that has been observed. If the Ministry had not done itself this inexplicable in jury, the English journals would blush to publish the insolent versions of the missionaries." The National is equally violent : " In default of news which the Minister does not give, • moment about to move, and did proceed to move, in language the defendant could not understand, that defendant should be committed and criminally punished. Next, the Registrar was about to take down only part of Mr. WILSON'S protest, till that gentleman enforced the addition of the omitted (and concluding) words. On the motion of the same illus trious Attorney, he was then condemned "to pay a fine of M. to her MAJESTY, and demand pardon of the court." Mr. WILSON, much to his honour, flatly refused to do either the one thing or the other, having already protested against the whole proceeding, under the authority of a statute. He was then, amidst the insolent and indecent uproar of the native audience, whose gestures and applauses were not even rebuked by either Verges or Dogberry—M. Ls BAILLI or his Lieutenant-Jurat---conducted to the public gaol under the escort of some strange island functionary called a "Deputy Viscount" (Heaven defend us from such a Lilliput aristocracy !), and after being exposed on his way to the yelling exul tation of sundry unwhipped boys and men, subjected to the most rigorous and scandalous severity of treat ment, the most unmanly and oppressive vexations which personal resentment seems to have been capable of infusing into the most insolent exer cise of the most ill-administered authority. Exhibitions like these—could we forget the personal sufferings and annoyances of Mr. WILSON in the meantime—might amuse all of us who are alive to the exquisite absurdity of "grave fooling." It is very certain that nothing is more supremely absurd than the strutting dignity of official power, in some little out-of-the-way corners, where it fancies itself playing GENGHIS•IiIIAN in an empire comprised within a few square miles of territory parcelled out into freehold estates of a few square yards. But the rights and liberties of Englishmen must not be exposed to the pranks of these pantomimic eccentricities. It is high time that the British Legislature should sweep away the inconvenient and unsightly barbarisms of a former age, and a rude people, in its more minute possessions. They are like old disused habiliments of former cen turies, whose strangeness may amuse the curious, but whose fettering and iron bondage it would be an act of insufferable tyranny to impose on the free limbs of living men, accustomed to the unimpeded use of the faculties they derive from nature, and exercise under the guarantees of an enlightened civilisation. THIS DAY'S NEWS BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.) IN BE JOHN HUNTER. In this case the insolvent had applied, upon Thursday last, for an appointment from Sir Charles Williams, in order to show cause why an order should be made to rescind a prior order, remanding the petitioner to prison. Sir Charles had appointed this day, in consequence of the only creditor having obtained a resting order in the Insolvent Debtors' Court. Mr. LUCAS, who attended for the creditor, said that a letter bad been received from Mr. Stafford, solicitor to the insolvent, stating that Mr. Hunter would not attend that day, but that he himself would appear, to watch proceedings. Sir C. WILLIAMS said that, before proceeding further in this case, he should, as it involved a very important ' principle, wish to consult his learned brother, Mr. Com missioner Evans, as to whether that Court could proceed with the petition of the insolvent after the creditor had obtained a vesting order from the other court. Ile would, as the Learned Commissioner was not in town, communicate to the solicitors on either side when the matter would be heard again. Mr. STAFFORD, in reference to some irritability he had exhibited in court upon a previous hearing of this case, said, that no man was more ready than himself to ac knowledge hi 3 error, when in the heat of the moment he had used language in that court which no provoca tion, perhaps, could justify, and he therefore begged that such language might be overlooked by the Hon. Com missioner. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to animadvert upon some words used by the Registrar as regarded him (Mr. Stafford), and he then continued— " While I therefore apologise to the court, I beg humbly, but firmly, to state that I owe no apology to the man who has so impudently— Sir C. WILLIAMS could not allow such language to pass unnoticed, and, if repeated, he should assuredly commit Mr. Stafford. After some further conversation of a similar character, the matter dropped. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A man named Thomas Shandbrooh, who was dressed in the garb of a ship-carpenter's labourer, was charged before Mr. Hall with creating a great disturbance in the strand, and with assaulting the inspector of police, and one of the officers. Mr. Inspector Logan stated that he was passing the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, last evening, when he saw the prisoner attempting to force his way into the house, and one of the waiters was preventing him from going in. Witness came up and interposed, when the prisoner struck him on the side of the head and knocked him down. An officer was called, and, with the utmost difficulty, the prisoner was got to the station house, kicking all the way. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had lost 2Z in the course of the day, and, to drown his sorrow at this loss, he had got drunk, and, therefore, he did not know what he was about. He promised never to do so again. Mr. HALL said these assaults on the police must be punished, and sentenced the prisoner to ten days' im prisonment. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Richard Hain; a powerful-looking man, was charged with assaulting a woman named Davis, in such a dan gerous manner, that she now lies in the hospital, with little hope of recovery. Mr. Lawson stated that, about nine o'clock on the pre ceding night, as he was passing the Catherine Wheel, Union-street, he saw a female sitting at the door. In a moment afterwards he saw the prisoner come out of the public-house, and, going up to the woman, he gave her a violent kick in the lower part of the abdomen, and followed it up by striking her with all his force. He then tried to escape, when witness attempted to prevent him, and was knocked down by the ruffian, who was at length secured and taken to the station house. The woman whom he assaulted in the brutal manner above described was conveyed to Guy's Hos pital, and a certificate was produced, describing that she was in a state of collapse, and was not expected to survive. Mr. C OTTINGHAM said that, if the unfortunate woman recovered her speech, he would proceed to the hospital and take her examination, and that if she died he would certainly commit the prisoner for murder. The prisoner, who appeared perfectly careless as to the result, was remanded. The Board of Ordnance have in hand the erection of various new spacious barracks in the north of Eng. land, which will involve an enormous outlay. They also contemplate, if the contract for them has not been already taken, building barracks at 'Worcester and Bristol, in neither of which cities has there hitherto been any ao commodativn for troops.—Hampshire Telegraph. we read in the English journal (the Times) letters written by Churchmen, for Churchmen perform a prin cipal part in the affairs of England. We have already the Consul Pritchard apothecary and accoucheur to her Otaheitean Majesty. We have had the chaplain of the Warspite, who endeavoured to concea l un d er h i s clerical mantle the base letters of some English officers. At present we have other reverend gentlemen, who take the trouble of announcing to the world that Divine Pro vidence has vouchsafed to bless the arms of the Ota heiteans, and to deliver up to them a considerable number of French to be sacrificed. We had rather be lieve that the recitals of those pious divines are at least much exaggerated, and that, notwithstanding the evident assistance afforded by the English, the Otaheiteaus have not done our countrymen as much injury as has been asserted. But it is certain that the English missionaries art against us in Otaheite the same part which Ahd-el- Kader does in Africa, and it will not be their fault if there be not a St. Bartholomew perpetrated against the French at Otaheite. The Journal des Debats and the Globe, Ministerial papers, deny the statements contained in the letters. The former says :—" In the absence of fuller infor mation, we give the correspondence, making every reserve, and deploring at the same time the spirit of animosity and bitterness with which it is charged." We regret to find by the last accounts from Otaheite, which will be fund in another part of the paper, that a still more serious occurrence than the "PRITCUARD affair" had taken place at Otaheite; but till we have more details we consider it better to make no com ment on the unfortunate event. Our firm conviction is, that while the French possess these islands in the Pacific, the peace between England and France will be constantly in danger. THE BOURSE---SATURDAY, OCT. 5.

(THIS DAY ) (Before L. SHADWELL, Esq.) Mr. Shadwell sat this morning at the Sessions house, Westminster, for the purpose of revising the lists of voters for St. Paul's, Covent-garden, St. James's, St. Clement Danes, St. George's, Hanover-square, St. Martin's, St. Anne's, Lincoln's Inn, the Savoy, St. Margaret's, and St. J o h n the Evangelist. The REVISING BARRISTER complained of the irregular manner in which the St. Anne's list had been made out. Mr. Corder, clerk of the St. Clement Danes Union, att - nded in the place of the overseers of that parish, and delivered in lists of the claims and objections. He said there were only two objections—one against the n ame o f a person who died a s h or t ti m e ago, the other against the retention on the list of the name of a person who had disposed of his property, and who, consequently, was not qualified. Mr. SHADWELL said the names of the two persons ob jected to did not appear in the list which had been delivered to him. Where was the list which had been affixed on the church doors? Before, however, Mr. Corder could comply with his request, Mr. SHADWELL said—Hand it tome. I cannot have the whole day wasted in this way. The list was accordingly handed to Mr. Shadwell by Mr. Corder. Mr. SHADWELL, after having glanced at the list, threw it with a gesture of impatience to Mr. Corder, who was in the witness-box. He said the names to which he alluded were not in that list. Mr. Corder, opening the book, , said there are the names (at the same time pointing to them). Mr. SHADWELL (with considerable impatience) —hand it up—let me see it. Why did you not furnish me with that list when you came into court. The conversation then dropped. John Thorogood, who appeared on the list of voters For St. James's, in respect of a fee-farm rent from cham bers in the Albany, was objected to by the Conservatives, as the name of the owner of the property was not on the register. The omission was accordingly rectified. Mr. Thorogood said—Mr. Barrister, this is the third time I have been compelled to attend here. I wish to know why Ism brought here, year after year, in this way. Mr. SHADWELL said he must put that question to those who had objected to his name. Mr. Thorogood said he had come seventy-two miles in order to meet what he considered a frivolous objection. Mr. SHADWELL wished he would not take up the time of the court after the business had been disposed of. The lists of voters for St. John the Evangelist and St. Margaret's were then revised. It is expected that the revision of the lists of voters for Westminster will terminate to-day.

A fe% of the primest Downs produced 4s per Blbs., but the value of all other kinds of Sheep was decidedly lower. There was a very dull sale for Calves, the supply o' which was rather scanty, at barely last week's curren cies. In Pigs next to nothing was doing at late rates. FLANDERS MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, OCT. 3.—lt is nearly certain that the Go vernment will not ratify the sale of the British Queen. M. Rademakes, Consul-General of Brasil in Belgium and Holland, has received from his Government creden tials appointing him Minister at the residence of Queen Pomare. He will soon set out for his destination. A letter from Ghent of the 3d of October, says : "Father Walle will shortly set out for Guatemala ; he will be accompanied by Father Affenaer, and some other members of the Society of Jesuits. The principal ob ject of their mission is to found a college there, and afterwards to preach among the savage tribes." It results from official accounts that the manufactures of cambrics and lawns, formerly so flourishing in the rural districts between Valenciennes and Cambray, and which for a long series of years enriched the merchants of those two cities, is declining from day to day. The linen manufactories are almost superseded everywhere by those of cotton. At the commencement of the Restora- Per Sibs. to sink the offaL s. d. to s. d. s. d. to s. d.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 4.—The Princess Mary left Ostend this morning with 125 passengers. Notwithstanding the tempestuous weather which has lately prevailed in the Channel, this fine vessel arrived yesterday from Dover at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, having performed the voyage in less than six hours. The passengers were able to proceed to Brussels by the three o'clock train. MAN t.ll Is DS.--Visimi, SEPT. 28. Five par Cents.

During the week about 200 tons of Potatoes have come to hand from the Channel Islands, and 700 ditto from Kent, Essex, &c., in good condition. The demand for most qualities is steady, at prices varying from 2115 s to 51 per ton. Some large supplies may be shortly expected. BOROUGH HOP MARKET. The supply of New Hops, from picking having been brought to a general conclusion, on sale here is extensive; yet we have to report an improvement in the demand, and prices may be considered somewhat higher for the finest coloury parcels of Kent and Sussex. For yearling and the best old Hops, we have a steady inquiry, at very full prices. Very little is doing in the duty, which is calltd 130,0001. The following are present rates:- 1844's—Kent pockets, 71 8 s to 818 s; Choice Mid Kent ditto, 919 s to 11/ I Is; Sussex ditto, 71 to 71 12s. 1843's —Weald of Kent pockets, 6/ 8s to 61 18s; East Kent ditto, 717 s to 101 10s; Mid Kent bags, 717 s to 815 s. WOOL MARKET. The imports of Wool during the past week have been only on a moderate scale, they having been but about 600 bales chiefly from Germany. The public sales which have been in progress since our last, have been well at tended by buyers, owing to which most of the parcels offered, and which have comprised about 15,000 bales, have been disposed of at full prices, if we except the lowest qualities being considered the turn lower. The average quotations have ruled as follows :—Van Die man's Land (clean sheep's), is 4d to 2s ; ditto Lambs', Is 3d to 2s 4d ; ditto greasy, 9id to is 6d ; skin, is 3d to is 6d ; Australian Sheep's, Is 5d to 2s 0/d ; ditto Lambs', is 3d to is Ild ; Port Phillip, Is 4id to is lld for Sheeps', and is 4d to is 6d for Lambs'.

These sales are expected to be brought to a conclusion the latter in most the present week. P r i vate l y a fair business is doing most kinds of Wool at pre vious rates. DICTIONAIRE NATIONAL FRANCAIS.— The num bers which have already issued of this critical dictionary of the French language are sufficient to found upon them the judgment that, when completed, it will form not only a most valuable work, as comprising all the new and acklowledged words lately introduced into the French tongue, but a repertory of the critical and analytical notes of all the other most esteemed dictionaries. M. Bescherelle, Aine, the author, has evidently bestowed on it great labour and attention, as well as talent ; and his Majesty the King of the French never showed greater judgment than when he took this great national literary work under his immediate patronage. The publishers, M. Simon, Rue des Fosses du Temple I Paris, and Messrs. L. and A. Ber and f Blenheim-street, in this city, have e ver y reason to Co.,' be satified with the suc cess of this undertaking. Film AT WESTMINSTER.—Last evening, shortly after seven o'clock, a fire, which at one time threatened very serious consequences, broke out in the premises in the occupancy of Mr. Leight, grocer and cheesemonger, carrying on business at No. 14, Abingdon-street, West minster, next door to Messrs. Noble's pianoforte show rooms. The fire was first discovered by an aged female, in the upper part of the building, in consequence of hearing a loud crackling noise, evidently arising from wood undergoing the process of combustion. She in stantly made for the shop, but on getting down the stairs she was nearly suffocated with the smoke. By dint of great exertion she succeeded in reaching the street, when she gave the necessary alarm. The parish-engine was quickly on the spot, and was got to work, and was followed by six or eight brigade engines with strong bodies of firemen, who succeeded, after much trouble, in confining the fire to the lower part of the premises. The damage, notwithstanding, is very considerable, nearly the whole of the stock in trade in the shop being destroyed. The origin of the fire, or whether or not Mr. Leight is insured, could not be ascertained. EXPLOSION or GAS.—Yesterday the neighbour • hood of Bow-lane, Cheapside, was thrown into a state of great e xc it ement i n consequence o f an ex pl os i on of gas taking pl ace i n th e excavat i on ma d e in that thorough fare for f orm i ng a new sewer . It seems that shortly be fore two o'clock the inhabitants were aroused by hearing loud cries of fire raised. Upon throwing open their windows they perceived that a space of ground was send ing forth large sheets of fire. At first sight it appeared as if the basement of their houses were in flames. The alarm thus created may be more easily imagined than described. Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the brigade, with a powerful body of his men, promptly attended with three engines. From the nature of the fire it was found useless in putting the engines to work ; the firemen, therefore, threw large quantities of mould upon the gas-pipes, but they were unable to get the fire out until the servants of the Gaa Company came and shut off the further supply of gas. IMPROVEMENTS IN WESTMINSTER. ---The ground behind Emanuel Hospital is now being cleared fur the intended improvements, which will extend from the Standard in the Vauxhall-bridge -road to Westminster Abbey, through Mr. Elliot's pleasure-grounds, that large plot of ground belonging to the above hospital, down Chapel-street, to the principal entrance into the Abbey. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen are determined to spare no expense to improve this charity property. The Archbishop of York has presented the Rev. Francis Orpen Morris, 8.A., of Worcester College, Ox ford, and Chaplain to his Grace the Duke of Cleveland, to the vicarage of Nafferton, Yorkshire.

One of the most important features connected with tht new tariff, is the almost daily-increasing imports of foreign Sheep, which have consisted, during the past week, of 60 head for London, and 100 at the out-ports. from Rotterdam and Hamburgh. These imports, together with those previously advised, make a total, for the present year, of about 500 head. The receipts of Beasts since this day fortnight have amounted to about 90 head from the abovementioned ports ; but in their quality, as well as that of the Sheep, no improvement worthy of notice can be reported. The arrivals of Beasts for the year have been as under : TALLOW. The market for forelin'l7;llowiss tolerably well sus tained, and may be considered firmer. The stock being light, and the advance in home Tallow . last Friday, give a tendency upwards. Fine New Y.C. Candle is dearer, at our quotation of this morning. There Are letters from St. Petersburgh up to the 12th and 24th l)f September. The gross shipments to that date were 77,000, against 94,000 casks to the same time last year; and the de ficiency to London alone 9,000, and to the outpoi - ts 7,000 casks. Prices then were a shade lower, with but a moderate business doing. The home melt is cons idered short, and Tallow is 42s to 43s nett cash. IRE-CONSECRATION OF ST.
