The number now amounts to thirty;. and we have good reason to believe that several more are contemplating secession. We learn from Oxford that the Rev. Mr. Coffin, vicar of St. Mary Magda lene, in that city, as not. performed the duty of his Church since the secession of Mr. Collyns, his curate, his place being, at present, occupied by the Rev. W. Macmullen.—Church and State Gazette. THE — REV. R. W. SIBTAORPE.—It appears to be the general opinion (says one of our correspondents) that the Rev. Mr. Sibthorpe has returned to the Protestant com munion. If he has (which is doubtful), he would be doing immense service to the Protestant cause by publishing the reasons for his return, as an antidote to the publication of his reasons for joining the Roman communion, under the titles, " Some Answers to the Enquiry, Why are you Become a Catholic?" and, "A further Answer to the Enquiry, Why have you Become a Catholic?" Our correspondent, there fore, publicly requests most earnestly, in behalf of the Pro testant community of which he is a minister, that Mr. Sib thorpe will favour the public with some answer to the enquiry, "Why are you again Become a Protestant? — Church and State Gazette. _ _ JACK AND THE BISHOP.—When Dr. Lipscombe, the late Bishop of Jamaica, went on board her Majesty's ship the Magnificent, to dine with the Admiral, on making his appearance on deck, in full canonicals, which of course in cluded the significant apron, a tar sagaciously inquired of his brother Neptune, " I say, Jack, do you know who this 'ere is ?" " No, I don't," said he, " except it is the master blacksmith who is come to take measure of our new funnel." —Baptist Herald. WHOLESALE SHEEP-STEALING. — The graziers and farmers in various parts of the country have recently been thrown into a state of much alarm in consequence of the wholesale plunder they have experienced of their sheep and other produce, and information of the robberies were forwarded during the past week to the officers and stations of the Metro politan and City police—viz., from the grounds of Mr. Thomas Hargreves, of Lamb hill Fell, near Slainburn, Yorkshire, were stolen a few days since no fewer than 120 sheep, of different ages and kinds; from a field at Northtleet, Shadwell, were stolen 36 sheep, the property of Mr. Westhopp, biscuit-baker of that place ; from Brunsop, Hereford, the property of Mr. Adams, farmer, 9 ewer, and 2 lambs; from Peopleton, near Upton Snodbury, the property of Mr. John Rogers, butcher, 5 ewe sheep ; from Abbiugton Lodge Farm, by the shepherd, 3 wether sheep, the property of Mr. Etty ; from a sheep-fold. at New Farm, Bagshot, 2 tegg sheep, the property of Mr. Lane, farmer; from a turnip-field, on the farm of Clifford Forge, 2 lambs ; and from a field near the Ferry-gate, Rye, were stolen 3 ewe sheep. A deception of a somewhat novel nature was prac tised at Romsey in the early part of the week. On Sunday evening a person applied to the parish clerk, representing himself as a servant of Mr. Cheyney, a respectable farmer, of Beaulieu, in the New Forest, and stating that he was sent by his master to give notice of the fun eral of his son on the next day. He had the appearance and manner of speech of a rustic labourer, and from there being a vault in Romsey churchyard belonging to relatives of Mr. Cheyney, and a simple truthfulness in the fellow's story, it was accredited, and on Monday morning preparations were accordingly made, and the vault opened. He had obtained a shilling or two on Sunday, on the plea of having lost half-a-crown, which had been given him by his master; and on Monday morn ing, after witnessing the commencing labours of the men employed in the burying-ground, he pleaded cunningly, both to the clerk and sexton, for the temporary loan of two shil lings more, but here his artifice failed, and he was shortly afterwards missed. Mr. Cheyney (who has recently been twice falsely and vexatiously misrepresented) has expressed his ignorance of the vagabond, and his determinat ion to punis him if he can be detected. The churchwardens have also taken up the matter, and information has been lodged with the police, which will, it is hoped, lead to his appre hension. To further their efforts to bring to punishment this wanton violator of the sanctity of the tomb, the follow ing description of his person is given, which may serve to establish his identity :—He is about sft. 4in. high, about 19 years of age, and has the appearance of a country servant ; he is of dark complexion, has dark brown hair, and is witho ut whiskers; he wore a blue frock coat, white trona( rs, and a brown cap, and had with him a small black terrier dog, of the Scottish breed.—Devizes Gazette. Notwithstanding the temporary suspension of rail way sveculation, bona fide schemes still occupy much attention. The numerous schemes for opening a railway communication with liar wich form a prominent topic of discussion, and the general impres sion appears to be, that that scheme which unites a railway with extensive docks at the above-mentioned port, is the one which will most contribute to national interests, as well as to the advantage of individual shareholders, and that scheme will no doubt meet with the cordial support of both the honourable representatives of this ancient bnorogh and the Members for Essex.—Railway Times,;Nov. S. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF LADY ADELA VILLIEES. - -This young lady has left her home in a clandestine man ner, deeply to the grief of her Noble father ; who, we lament to learn, is dangerously affected by the imprudent step taken by his daughter. It appears ftom the account furnished by a relative of the family, that Lady Adele was remaining with her father, the Earl of Jersey, at East Lodge—the Countess of Jersey, accompanied by Lady Clementina Villiers, and Prince and Princess Nicholas Ester hazy, having gone on Tuesday, the day previous to Lady Adela's mysterious departure, to Arundel Castle, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk. At dusk Lady Adele was in the drawing-room with the Earl, and affectionately took leave of his Lordship to go, as she stated, to the nursery ; but, at the ginner hour, on the Noble Earl inquiring after his daughter, a search was made, and she was nowhere to be found. We are informed, that on inquiry the Earl's family received intelligence that a lady answering the description of the fair fugitive was observed to leave by one of the railway trains for London, in the protection of a tall gentleman, but at this point all trace has been lost. Immediately on the sad information reach ing the metropolis, the Hon. Captain Frederick Villiers left town express for Gretna-Green. There is not even a conjecture as to the probable retreat of the young lady, and up to a late hour last even ing no additional information was gained. No attendant accompa 'ied her Ladyship. Viscount Villiers arrived in town yesterday after noon from Upton House, his scat in Warwickshire. A new steamer, called the Cygnet, has been placed on the Trent, to ply between Nottingham and Oainsborough. RICH DlSCOVERY.—Yesterday afternoon a poor a boy of the name of Neville, who resides with his aunt (having no parents) in Lincoln-court, Drury-lane, was playing with some lads near the mortar, in St. James's-park, and observed a small book, upon open ing which it was found to contain a number of papers, letters, and notes to the following amount :—Three Bank of England for 200/., one for 100/., and two for 101. ; two cheques, one for 75/., and the other for 9/. ; besides a number of promissory notes and bills of acceptance upon continental houses, amounting in all to above 2,000/. The book is of foreign manufacture, and the letters, which arc principally in. German, gave no clue to the right owner.

CITY. FRIDAY EVENING. CHRONICLE.—There seems to be a general gloom over the Money Market, as if the country were on the eve of sonic convulsion. The long and frequent sittings of the Cabinet have been the cause of this anxiety ; it being naturally supposed that measures of great and pressing importance must form the subject of their adjourned delibe rations. The truth must come out on this subject in a few days, and should it lead to a 'conviction that the "corn-laws are doomed," there does not appear reason to apprehend any serious derangement of the currency from such a desirable concession. We have observed, on previous occasions, that the first results of opening the ports would be to drain off bullion in exchange for corn, and to create a greater demand for money at home. The Bank Directors, with their diminished store of surplus notes in the banking department, could not continue to supply the void in the currency which would be created by the return of notes for gold to the issue department by enlarging their discount business or by the purchase of Stock and Exchequer-bills. They have, indeed, been operating as sellers of the latter already, and if the exchanges were to assume an unfavourable aspect they might feel it necessary to in crease the rates of discount to four ;per cent. But with money at that rate, and the fears of coming scarcity removed by the admis sion of food free of duty, the want of confidence which is now so preva lent would be alleviated. Supposing that the Bank should lose five millions of its specie, there would be still a good supply left on hand, and with that drain upon its store, the failure of the potato crops and deficiency of the harvest in England and Scotland might certainly be overcome. The railroads will form employment for the population, and with open ports the clouds now hanging over the commercial and trading interests would disappear. We are thus led to the con clusion that there is more fear than occasion calls for, and that after the 30th of November, when many of the scrips of new projects must be witl.drawn and cancelled, that the Stock and Share Markets will assume a healthier appearance. A clearance of considerable extent must take place in the market for scrips after the 30th of November, from the neglect er inability of the promoters to prepare their plans and sections, and to make the deposits of documents in the Private Bill offices, enjoined by the standing orders. The rail way world should all turn corn-law repeaters. If the ports of this country had been open free of duty for the importation of foreign cora, the alarm created by the deficiency of the harvest would not have been felt, and the schemes of internal improvement would have escaped the check which so materially interferes with their fhture progress. A high price of corn and a high price of railivay shares at one and the same time is an impossibility. The money that would be employed in railways is diverted to the purchase of:the necessary means of subsistence, and enterprise of every kind suffers when food is dear. All that can be said of the Railway Market to-day is, that prices of registered shareS are not lower than yesterday, but many of the scrips of new schemes are still unsaleable. The scrip of Great Canada West is now bordering upon par; Rhenish 13.6 to 2 prem. We understand that the failure of Mr. A. Young, of the Stock Ex change, who was lately declared a defaulter, was occasioned chiefly by the inability of his principals to meet their engagements. HERALD.—The advance in the minimum rate of interest and discount by the Bank of England to 3 per cent., which we notified last night, has formed the leading topic of interest in the City throughout the day. People are, however, gradually becoming bet- ter acquainted with the relation in which the Bank now stands with the public, and the influence of the:alannists is lessening in proportion, . . . . . . . In addition to what we have lately stated on this subject, it 'is not out of keeping to state that for a considerable time past the Bank has not in practice adhered to their minimum rate ; and it is on that ground chiefly that the formal publication of notices has been con- sidered superfluous if not actually injurious. Nor has the change in the value of money, which the advance now made by the Bank would indicate, been anything like so sudden or extensive as people generally seem to have imagined. For several months past the current value of money in the Market was observed to be sensibly on the increase, and, in point of fact, it had advanced beyond the minimum now named by the Bank for any thing but what are termed first-class securities. It was only in con sequence of the Bank of England continuing to transact a portion of its business at the rate of two and a half per cent., that the currant rate for ordinarily good paper was not up to from three and a half to four per cent. upwards of three months ago, and the Bank Directors have been much reflected upon by the other banks and discount houses for by that means keeping the value of money, nominally at least, below the natural level. The Bank Directors were, however, not at all blameable, in the' new relation in which they stand, for following that course. Their object was to attract customers to their shop on the usual principle of competition for the benefit of their pi oprietors, and the large extent of their capital enabled them for a time to underbid their neighbours to accomplish that object. Their conduct was therefore identical with that of every trader in the country possessed of larger capital, who calculates that by reducing his rate of profit he so increases the nnmbor of his cus tomers that the low rate produces a larger aggregate return than the relatively higher one. This is precisely the position of the Bank under the new currency law, and the sooner that the community is familiarised with the idea that the movements of the Bank of Eng land, in respect to the rate of interest, are of no more moment or value than that they represent a given amount of cap:tal to be turned to the highest attainable rate of print, the better. It will require some time to take off the prestige with which the institution was surrounded in the minds of the people from the association of ideas that almost formed part and parcel of th e Govern- went ; but the . real position it now occupies is well understood by the moneyed interest, and their knowledge will be gradually diffused. That was obviously a part, and a most essential part, of the plan of Sir Robert Peel in his late currency measures ; and it is proper that the banking interest throughout the United Kingdom should not lose sight of the fact for a moment, that in all emergencies they must rely upon their own means, and not on the Bank of England. With respect again to the advance in the real, and not merely in the nominal value of money, we repeat, that, in so far as it arises from the increased demand for the construction of railways and other industrial investments over Europe, it is a mat ter for gratulation and not of regret. For many years past it was An almost universal complaint on tile part of persons that had accu mulated capital, that they could find no profitable mode of investing it with adequate security; and every new opening for its employ ment with an increased rate of profit acts upon the interests of the community in the same manner as an addition to our fertile land for the production of food. THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BRISTOL AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. SroKE, FRIDAY EVENING —The inquest on the body of the unfortunate man, Humphrey Willis, who was killed yesterday morning by being run over by the mail train from Birmingham to Gloucester, has been held this afternoon before Mr. Hughes, co roner, and a respectable jury. _ . After viewing the body, and a short address from the coroner, the jury proceeded at once to examine the witnesses. The body presented a most horrible spectacle, being smashed to pieces, and defaced from all human resemblance. Mr. Saunders, secretary, Mr. Beale, one of the directors, and Mr. Connell, superintendent of the goods department, attended the inquiry. Mr. W. Davis, shoemaker, of Stoke, was the first witness exa mined. He was with the deceased drinking en Wednesday night until half.past eleven o'clock, when they lett together. The de ceased expressed his intention of proceeding home up the line, as he bad done before, and witness tried to dissuade him from so doing, but with gut avail. The deceased said he knew what he was about, and that by the linehe should save some distance in travel- ling. Witness was perfectly sober, and the deceased did not appear drunk. They had been drinking ale together, but the deceased had had two noggins of gin. The next witness was a man named Shellard, who had also been with the deceased and the last witness drinking, on Wednesday H ight. lie corroborated the conversation spoken to by the List witness, as having taken place between Davis and Willis. Ile (witness) knew it was useless to attempt to dissuade Willis from going up the rail, as he was an obstinate 10an, , , and would have his own way. He had known him frequently pass up the rah when trains were due at night, and when he was not sober. The de ceased appeared fresh, but not drunk, on Wednesday night. Edwaid Cheshire, the engine-driver of the mail train on Wed. nesday night, deposed that he left Birmingham with the train at ten minutes past one o'clock, and on approaching Stoke station he observed a man standing on the line. He immediately shut off the steam and put on the whistle, with the object of alarming the party and stopping the train. They stopped in about two hundred yards, but the deceased being only abotA thirty yards off when wit ness first saw him, and not moving out of the way, the train passed over him. Witness sent the fireman and guard back to the spot, where they found the deceased lying on the line. It was a dark night, and raining at the time. Richard Barnett, the fireman, spoke to similar facts as the driver of the train, and described the appearance of the body when picked up. The train was proceeding at a speed of about 9.8 or 30 miles an hour; not faster than usual for a mail train. The rails were slippery from the rain, and the train not easily stopped. Mr. Stubbs, manager at the Stoke station, stated that he had repeatedly warned the deceased off the line. The CORONER having summed up, the jury unanimously re turned a verdict of " Accidental death,'' inflicting a deodaud of one shilling only on the engine. At the same time the jury ex. pressed themselves perfectly satisfied with the conduct of those who had the charge of the engine. It was stated in the course of the proceedings that no report had been made to the board of Directors of the repeated tres passes on the line by pedestrians. The Company intend burying the deceased at their own cost. He has left a widow, but no children. PRICE OF SUGAR.

A very numerous meeting of this excellent charity took place on Wednesday evening last, John P. Hayward, Esq., in the chair. The Secretary, Henry F. Richardson, Esq., addressed the meeting at considerable length on the desirability of in vesting one moiety of the donations above 51. instead of the whole, thus enabling a large increase to the payments to the pensioners, whilst, at the same time, the permanent fund was gradually increased. Mr. Richardson stated that the life fund now exceeded 6,000/., and from all the inquiries he had made from many munificent donors to the charity, he had no hesitation in stating that the feeling was that the Society had already gained sufficient permanent stability to authorise the plan, and that it would live more in the hearts of its sub scribers and the public if the rigidity of its laws in this respect was relaxed. Mr. Richardson then entered into a variety of arguments and calculations to prove the soundness of the pro posal, and expressed his anxious hope that, ere long, he should have the happiness to announce to the pensioners that a large increase was made, and that, in all probability, the full amount of the pensions might shortly be anticipated. Mr. Richard son then announced the financial condition of the Society, and stated that R. S. Holford, Esq., of 15, Bolton-street Piccadilly had presented the generous donation of 20/., and 51.55. as an annual contribution. Mr. Deputy Bedford and Mr. Cutler, and several other gentlemen, then addressed the meeting, and it was carried, by an overwhelming majority, that it is expedient to suggest to the subscribers that one moiety only of the donations above 5/. be funded. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting adjourned for a week, then to confirm or reject this imrrtant resolution. FUNERAL OF LORD MONTAGU.—} ridgy morning, at the early hour of seven o'clock, the remains of the late Lord Montagu were removed from the family residence, in Hamilton place, Piccadilly, for interment in the vault built by the deceased Lord In Stoke Church, near Windsor. The funeral cortege consisted only of a hearse and three mourning coaches, followed by the private carriage of the Duke of Buccleuch. The route for the mournful pro cession was by the general road to Windsor, and the procession reached the church by noon, after which the solemn rites were per formed. The Duke of Buccleuch was chief mourner, and the Earl of Home, Lord John Scott, Mr. G. W. Hope, M.P., Colonel Clinton, &c., were among the members of the deceased's Lord's relatives who attended the obsequids. DEATH OF THE HON. CAPTAIN LEICESTER, OF THE GRENADIER GUARDS.—WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—We regret to have to state that the Hon. Captain Leicester expired at his apartments, in the Infantry Barracks, Skeet-street, Windsor, yesterday morning, between three and four o'clock, his death having been occasioned by the rupture of a blood-vessel about five weeks ago. Lord de Tably, his only brother, was by the bed-side of the deceased when he breathed his last. The Dowager Lady and Lady de I ably, the Rev. F. Leicester, and some other of the late Captain Leicester's near re latives and friends had taken leave of him (as it was then supposed for the last time) a few hours before. The deceased, who was uni versally respected and beloved throughout the regiment, had been considered to be in a hopeless state, by his medical attendants, since lie was seized with a relapse on Tuesday last. DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM FOUL'S, BART.—We have to record the demise of Sir William Foul's, Bart. who expired at an early hour yesterday.morning, at his residence In Grosvenor place. The death of the respected Baronet was unexpected, for thoughhe was suffiring from impaired health, and had come to town to consult his physician, still not the slightest apprehension was entertained of his death. Thu deceased Baronet was son of the seventh Baronet, by Miss Turner, daughter of the late Mr. Ed mund Turner, of Penton, Lincolnshire. He was born in 1790, and married, in 1825, Miss Mary Jane, second daughter of the late Sir Charles Ross, Bart. Not having any male issue by that union, the Baronetcy devolves on his brother, Mr. Henry Foulis, now Sir Henry Foulis. The late B aronet was deservedly respected by his tenantry in Yorkshire, and his bounties to the poor were most extensive. WARRINGTON, Nov. 7.—SUDDEN DEATH.—This morning, at half-past nine o'clock, Mr. Blundel (who for upwards of 30 years has had the management of Warrington Distillery, in Bridge-street, late Dixon's, but now Stanton's distillery), fell down dead in the office, of an apoplectic fit. This man has always been a quiet, steady, sober and industrious servant, and a generally respected townsman, a good husband and kind father. His lam will be much lamented both as a servant and a fellow citizen, and deep l y regretted by the bereaved relatives. DEATH OF SIR STEPHEN MAT, BART. —The &mi. lies of the Marquis and Marchioness o f Donegal, the Dowager Marchioness of Donegall, Lord and Lady Edward Chichester, Lady Bateman, Lord Hamilton Chichester , L ord and Lady Templemore, Pee., are placed in mourning by the death of the above-named Baronet, who died on Tuesday, the 28th ult., at Bath. The deceased Baronet was born in 1781, and married, in 1820, Miss Nixon, daughter of the Rev. B. Nixon. He represented Belfast in the House of Com mons for a limited period. He was son of Sir rdward May, Bart., and brother of the Dowager Marchioness of Donegall. POLITICAL RUMOURS.—Under this title an evening paper of last night has a rigmarole paragraph about all sorts of sub jects, that are said to be at present under the consideration of the Cabinet. As to the Cclonial Secretaryship, the O.regcn question, or the corn-laws, we venture to say nothing- for the best of all possible reasons ; but to the story, that Lord Ellenborough is to succeed Lord Lonsdale as Postmaster-General, we believe we may give a fiat con. tradiction. The office in question, as we are assured, has been of fered to another Noble Lord, who has siPhled his willingness to undertake the duties of it.—Post. NEW RAILWAY SCHEMES.

The De putt'-Chairman of the Company, Joseph Lobb, Esq., addressed the meeting at great length in explanation of the details of the undertaking, after which a series of resolutions (which will be found in our advertising columns) in approval and support of the line were unanimously carried. DIRECT BIRMINGHAM AND LEICESTER RAILWAY. —A meeting of the Provisional Directors of the above Com pany was held yesterday (Friday), at their Offices, Upper Temple-street, Birmingham. There was a full attendance of the Directory, in consequence of its being known that Sir John Rennie, the engineer-in-chid' of the Company, would attend to give his opini on of the p lan s and sur ve y s that had been completed by his employees. We are happy to state, from the opinion expressed by Sir John Rennie, the Directors are fully satisfied with the measures that have been taken to complete the preparations which th e present month renders 1 necessary, in order that t he standin g ord ers may b e com p lied 1 with. It will be seen, on reference to our advertising columns, that the financial affairs cf the Company are in the most flourishing condition, 51,9371. having been received as companies.loub t deposit-money, of whi ch u p wards of 40,0001. are now out at interest.

This announ ce m en t, which was not made until late on Friday evening, by means of a hand-bill issued by Mr. Walter, appeared to take the electors by surprise.

PRIZE• MONET FOR THE GROWLER STEAM SLOOP.—Commander Claude M. Buckle, and the officers and company of the steam sloop Growler, just paid off at Woolwich, from the coast of Africa, have notice that accounts proceeds of slave and tannage bounties for the Spanish schooner Enganador, seized on the 4th of November, 1844, and of moiety of proceeds of hull and stores and tonnage bounties for the Spanish brigantine San Antonio (a) El Cayman, seized 11th January 1843, will be deposited in the registry of the High Court of Admiralty, on the 6th Instant, agreeably to Act of Parliament, by Thomas Stillwell and Sons, agents, 22, Arundel street, Strand. PRIZE.MONET FOR THE PARTRIDGE.—Notice has been given to the officers and company of her Majesty's brig Partridge, William Morris, commander, that an account of bounties received for the slave brig San Antonio, captiire.l on the 6th of February,lB42, will be forthwith deposited in the Registry of the High Court of Ad miralty by Balford and Company, agents. The St. Vincent, 120, Capt. R. F. Rowley, was paid off at Portsmouth on Thursday; Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., au. perintended the payment. She was re-commissioned yesterday morning by Captain Sir Richard Grant, and the flag of the Com mander-in-Chief Admiral Sir Charles Ogle was transferred to her from the Excellent, and was saluted by the St. Vincent, on its be ing hoisted, with 15 guns. She has her lower yard and top-mast struck for the winter. ' - The Scourge bomb steam-sloop was brought under the shears at Portsmouth, on Thursday, and received her ordnance, viz., a 13- inch mortar aft and a long 50-pounder pivot gun forward. The former weighs upwards of five tons, the mortar bed five tons, and the mass of woodwork upright and cross pieces to support the bed, another five tons. Altogether, the mortar and its supports weigh about 15 tons. The mortar lies considerably above the deck, and can be fired in any direction except directly a-head. The men from the Excellent are fitting the pivot-gun gear, and taking in stores of different sorts. The scourge will proceed under the im mediate superintendence of Commodore Chads of the Excellent, and Captain Stevens of the Royal Marine Artillery, outside the Wight, to try what effect the firing of the mortar may have on the frame of the vessel and on the machinery of the engine. The Sampson steam-frigate has her topmasts up, and is nearly all atautit in Sheerness basin. The Eclair steam.sloop, Lieut. Commander Henry C. Marston, still remains at Stangate Creek. Her books are being got ready for paying off by the clerks of the Ocean. Mr. Heath, the assistant. surgeon of the Dwarf steam.vessel, has returned from the Revenge, 72, to his duties on board his own ship. Drs. Rogers, Coffey, and Stewart, are at Stangate Creek. The Rattler screw steam-sloop, Commander Smith, will undergo several alterations at Portsmouth, previous to her sailing for the coast of Africa. 'der mizen-mast is to come out and be taken away, and her main-mast shifted six feet further aft. We should like to know how many efficient vessels the money expended on this miserable trough of the surveyor's designing, would add to the Navy list. . . The African steain- tug has left Sheerness for Brighton. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, EXETER HALL. The Sacred Harmonic Society commenced their season last evening, with Handel's Oratorio of Israel in Egypt. The choruses of thls sublime composition—and they form the principal feature of the oratorio—were magnificently given. We should like, how ever, to hear them as originally instrumented by Handel himself; and we mistake not if the absence of those loudly-braying brass instruments which have been invented since the days of Handel would not, by affording greater scope for the development of vocal effects, greatly increase the effectiveness of the music by increasing its expression. We hope that the Sacred Harmonic Society will, during the course of the season, give us some of Handel's oratorios from the original score. The result of such an experiment would be to raise the veneration with which every lover of music regards the divine genius of Handel to a higher pitch than ever. The solo performers were Miss Raimforth, Miss M. D. Hawes, Miss Messent, Mr. Arthur, Mr. Leffler, and Mr. H. Phillips. It was the first public appearance of the latter since his return from his American tour. He seemed in excellent health, was in excel lent voice, and sang with great taste and purity. He was warmly greeted and was rapturously encored in the duet, " The Lord is a man of war," in which he was well supported by Leffler. The hall was completely filled by a most attentive and thoroughly musical audience, such an audience as one only meets with at the Sacred Harmonic Society, an audience whose earnestness is quite delightful, DEATII OF LORD 'STUART DE ROTRESAY.—This distinguished diplomatist expired on Thursday, at his seat, High- Cliff, near Christchurch, Hampshire. His Lordship's health had been for some time in a declining state, and he had, in consequence, been compelled to resign the office of ambassador to the Court of St. Petersburgh, to which he had been appointed in October, 1841, and which he had retained for four years. His Lordship was born on the 2d January, 1779, and was the eldest son of Sir Charles Stuart, K.ll. At his first outset in life, Mr. Stuart devoted himself to a diplomatic career, the duties of which he entered on under the auspices of the late Lord Castlereagh. He was for some time minister at the Hague, and in consequence of his diplomatic services during the late war the Prince Regent, in 1812, bestowed upon him the Civil Grand Cross of the Bath. In 1816 Sir Charles Stuart married the third daughter of the late Earl of Ilardwicke, by whom he had two daughters, who survive him—the Viscountess Canning and the Marchioness of Water ford. Having been ambassador at several foreign Courts; and having for a long time represented his Sovereign at the Court of the French King, Sir Charles Stuart was, during the short administration of Lord Goderich, raised to the peerage by the title of Lord Stuart de Rothesay. As his Lordship has died without issue male the title becomes extinct. Vy WESTMINSTER COURT OF SEWERS.—The usual fortnightly meeting of the Commissioners of this Board was held yes terday at the Court-house, Soho-square, E. Willoughby, Esq., in the chair. Mr. Ilirtslett, the cler , read a letter from Sir James Graham, as follows :—" Whitehall, Nov. 1, 1845.—Sir : I am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to call your attention to my letter of August 13th last, and to request that you will move the Com missions of Sewers for Westminster and part of Middlesex to favour Sir James Graham, at their earliest convenience, with their observations on the allegations contained in the pam. phlet of Mr. Leslie.—l am, Sir, &c., Sec., H. MANNERS Surrox.— I. C. Ridslett, Esq., Clerk to the Commissioners of Sewers of Westminster." The Chairman said the committee appointed in September last had been very busily engaged, and had only very re cently been enabled to prepare their report, which would be pre sented to the court at their nest meeting. An answer to Sir J. Graham was then agreed to. On a subsequent discussion, arising out of the same question, Mr. Leslie objected to the power laid claim to by the chairman of acting on his own responsibility. There was no law empowering the chairman to act alone, but there was a law requiring six commissioners to form a court for the transaction of business. Mr. Donaldson gave a notice of motion for the next court, which would bring the whole matter under discussion. The emit then adjourned. THE CASE OF THE FELICIDADE.—This case, which must be still fresh in the memories of our readers, will be argued before the twelve Judges on Saturday, the 15th instant. We under stand that the briels for the prisoners in the argument have been de livered to Mr. Sergeant Manning and Mr. R. I'. Collier, who con ducted their defence on the trial, and we doubt not, from the zeal and ability manifested by both those gentlemen on that occasion, that the cause of the prisoners will be well cared for in their hands. The case will excite much interest. The solicitors for the Admiralty are concerned fur the Crown, and Mr. Edmonds, of Plymouth, for the defence. We have not yet heard who is retained on behalf of the Crown, but probably Mr. Godson, Q.C., who so ably conducted the case for the prosecution, without throwing into it any feeling of asperity or harshness.—Plymouth Journal. THE TRICKSTER REWARDED.—A few days ago, as a Brighton tradesman was travelling to London by rail, he was detected in the repetition of what he he had previously been heard to denominate the " artful dodge" of riding as a first-class passenger and paying only the third-class fare. The modus operandi was to take a third-class ticket, and ride in a corresponding carriage as far as the Hassocks, and then, on the stoppage of the train, to transfer himself to a first-class vehicle, having ridden in which to New Cross, he would again alight, and resume his old quarters. On the occasion alluded to, however, the biter was bitten ; for on at tempting to execute the last part of this scheme, one of the guards, who had observed the first past of the manoeuvre, and consequently been on the look out, touched him on the shoulder, and delicately hinted that the gentleman had forgotten his carriage. To the great amusement of the third-class passengers, the " artful dodger" Ivas bowed into the quarters which he had just vacated in the first-class carriage ; and, on arriving at the terminus, was oblige d to pay the difference between the first and the third-class ticke t, thus proving himself to be penny wise but pound foolish. th e property of , th trem F e l n ß d E ous l4 fi E re A took 0 Nk placeO T T l u N p o G n H a A f M a 011 Thursday.

The cause of this disastrous fire cannot be discovered. The property was insured in the Sun fire-office to the amount of 5001., but this sum will net cover the damage. TUE HARMONIC BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—The first meeting of this praiseworthy Association took place on Thursday evening, Mr. Charles Sloman in the chair. The meeting was called for the purpose of revising the laws pursuant to the Act of Enrollment. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Willey, the secretary, that during the last three years the Society had expended 3701. among distressed members of the singing profession, and that they were fa. vourably progressing, having now 1701. in the funds. The Society is founded u;)on the same principles as that of the Theatrical Gilt Fund Society. THE TAY FERRIES.—At a meetir g of the Commis sioners of Supply of the county of Fife, on Tuesday last, Mr. G. Makgill gave in a report on the Tay ferries. He said the Commis sioners would all be aware that the Edinburgh and Northern Railway Company had failed to obtain a lease of these ferries, and that they had fallen into the hands of the Scottish Central Company. The Ferries Committee, on hearing this, immediately ordered a communi cation to that company, asking if they acceded to the same terms of lease as the county had originally proposed, but their answer was not sufficiently satisfactory or conclusive. A very important ques tion, however, had since been raised—as to whither any other party than the original one could supersede the powers of the trust ; and the opinion of the most eminent counsel in Edinburgh had been taken on the point, but it was not ready to be brought forward.—Perthshire Courier. r REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK. • Three weeks of unusually fine weather has enabled farmers in the north to save a large quantity of grain, which at the close of last month was given over as totally lost. That the quality of much of the corn lately carried must be indifferent cannot, when the repeated drenchings it has undergone be called in mind, be for a moment questioned; still it has been got in, and will, therefore, in some way or other, help to furnish food for man or beast, which, consider ing the deficiency of the crop of wheat as a whole, and the extensive failure of potatoes, is something gained. This slight improvement in our prospects has not been without its in fluence on the trade, and farmers having (as is usual at this period of the year) threshed out pretty freely, a check h as been given to the upward movement in prices. We foresaw that this was likely to occur, and intimated the same last week ; but we then stated, and still think, that there is nothing in the position of affairs likely to cause any material or permanent fall in the value of bread stuffs. So far frcm it having lyzen discovered that the yield of wheat is better than expected, c(.mplaints of the number of quarters procured from a given quantity of str aw are be coming more general in proportion as th reshing is proceeded with ; and the fact that there is a difference of at least 20s. per quarter between the be,t and the worst samples of this year's produce proves plainly how wretched mutt be the quality of the latter. Meanwhile the investigations which are being proceeded with to discover the extent f the po tato disease, have brought nothing to light which warrants us in stating that the alarm or that subject is ill•founded, indeed the reports from all quarters are of a nature to confirm our worst fears; and however quiet the trade at present may be, we cannot divest ourselves of the apprehensi&.n that the prices of bread stuffs will ultimately rise to a point thi eaten Mg serious inconvenience to the poorer classes of the com munity. The very inferior quality of a large proportion of the wheat of this year's growth has hitherto prevented the duty receding more than a step or two, and from present appearances it is questionable whether the article will for some time be admissible below 12s. per quarter; this is, under existing circumstances, unfortunate, inasmuch as the tardy manner in which the duty diminishes will give the opponents of the law grounds for raising an outcry which may have some effect on our expediency Minister. There has lately been a great deal of talk about an order in Council to admit corn free; and though we do not believe that any such pro ject is contemplated, still it indicates the course of public feeling. Had the quality of the new produce been only tolerably good, the duty would undoubtedly ere now have fallen to 10s. per qr., or perhaps lower, in the regular course of things, the finer sorts of red having for some weeks past been selling at 70s. and upwards, whilst choice samples of white have realised as much as 80s. per qr. at several of the principal consuming markets. It may readily be conceived, therefore, how bad must be the quality of the common runs, to have kept the general average below GOs. per quarter; such, has, however, been the case, the last weekly return for the kingdom being only 595. 2d. per quar ter. All the wheat lately received from abroad has, there fore, been landed under lock, and that which may still come to hand is likely also to be stored in bond, importers feeling perfectly satisfied that, sooner or later, a foreign supply will . be needed, and that, ultimately they will be enabled to enter their property at a very low duty, notwithstanding the op. posing influence of the bad qualities of the new wheat. in one respect, at least, the law of 1828, was more favourable for the consumer than the present enactment, for after prices had risen to a certain point, the duty came off rapidly; and though this was, we must confess, a strong temptation to tamper with the averages, yet it had the benefit, that when there was real necessity—such as, we believe, there to be at present—the impost was speedily reduced sufficiently to induce importers to enter for consumption. By our advices from Scotland, it appears that the favour able weather, and the subdued tone of the reports from the South, had had more or less influence on prices; and, though the accounts respecting the spread of the potato disease had, if anything, become more alarming, the value of most kinds of grain had shown a tendency to decline at the leading towns: not only was wheat cheaper at Edinburgh on Wed nesday, but barley and oats were also obtainable at lower terms, and on the whole, business finished very languidly. From Glasgow we have similar reports, though stocks of most articles are short at the last-named place. The awful consequences which would inevitably result from a failure of the potato crop in Ireland, cause the utmost anxiety to be felt on this side of the Channel, to ascertain as far as practicable the extent of the mischief likely to be occa sioned by the disorder which has attacked the crop in the sister isle quite as generally as in this country. The accounts from thence are, up to the present time, sufficiently serious to give rise to much uneasiness ; but we still hope that when the first alarm shall in some degree have subsided, the injury may not prove so extensive as it is now represented to be. At Mark-lane the trade in wheat has been extremely dull this week, which must be partly attributed to the effect pro duced by the rumour to which we have already alluded, viz., the Ministerial intention of opening the ports. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have been tolerably good, 5,100 quarters having been reported during the week. Beyond what was left over from Monday there has, however, been but little wheat exhibited at Mark-lane, the bulk of the receipts from the east coast having gone to the milleri direct. On Wednesday businesss was quite paralyzed, in conse quence of the reported probability of a Ministerial inter ference with the laws. The trifling sales made were at prices which would not previously have been accepted ; but though factors were willing to make some concessions, they were un able to effect a clearance of the stands. On Friday affairs remained in much the same position, the only difference being, that more anxiety was manifested by sellers to realise on the latter than on the former day. On the other hand, millers were even less inclined to buy than before, and to have induced them to purchase freely rather an important reduction must have been submitted to. Foreign free wheat has moved off very tardily throughout the week ; holders have, however, refrained from pressing sales, and quotations have remained nominally unaltered. The same cause which has depressed the value of free has raised the price of bonded wheat ; but the enhanced terms asked have not been very readily paid, and the operations have been comparatively unimportant. Some fine . high mixed Dantzic was, we believe, sold on Wednesday at 625., and moderately good Rostock at 565. per quarter. Towards the close of the week there was less inclination to speculate. By the official account just published, it appears that the total stock of wheat in bond in the kingdom consisted, on the 10th Oct., of 543,666 quarters, whereof 207,874 quarters were in the port of London. Flour has been rather difficult of disposal during the week; the nominal top price has, however, remained steady at 60s. per i•ack, and no quotable change has occurred in the value of other sorts. The arrivals of barley have been only moderate; the receipts have nevertheless proved quite adequate to the demand, and the recently-established advance has been cup-. ported with some difficulty. Malt has also moved off tardily, at former rates, but holders have displayed much firmness. With oats the market has been sparingly supplied; the total quantity which had come to hand up to Saturday evening, including 5,181 quarters from abroad, amounting to only 14,612 quarters. Hitherto, therefore, the very high prices at Mark-lane have failed to draw supplies; the principal dealers seem, however, to calculate on better arrivals, and have lately conducted their - opera. tions with extreme caution. The trade has, since our last, been of a strictly retail character; but needy buyers have had to pay quite former terms; and as the stocks are by no means large, it is questionable whether, even if we should receive a good supply, any material depression would be caused thereby. The duty on this grain is now ss. per qr., and a further reduction must in a few weeks take place. Beans have come to band sparingly, and the trifling busi ness transacted has been at very high rates. Peas hays also commanded fully the currency of Monday last. The duty on the latter article is now only ls. Gd. per qr., having fallen a step on Thursday.—Mark -lane Express. JOHNSONand SHAW'S FARMERS' ALMANAC and CALENDAR for 1846. This Almanac, the first of its race for the new year, extends to 20 pages, and contains 124 engravings, re- • presenting chaff-cutting machines, furze-crushers, sub soil ploughs, oil-cake mills, Beverly iron -works, portable weighing machines, portable hand-mills, portable steam engines, thrashing machines, iron harrows, sheep hurdles, and ploughs and boilers and rollers of every variety, some of them invented by Mrs. Mary Wedlake and not a few by the celebrated Mr. Dean. The agri cultural department is excellent, containing ample in structions for every species of agricultural operation for each month, the results of experiments with different manures, corn tables, the general rules of land measure, all the phenomena of the sliding-scale, and pre cepts to farmers for guarding against the numerous enemies which surround them. One for the month of June runs thus :—" Watch your sheep; the fly is now on the wing. Have your shears sharpened, and the hellebore powder and black brimstone ,ready • the proportions lb. of hellebore root powder to lin:. of black brimstone ; sprinkle from the head to the tail with a dredging box, wash and shear your sheep ; see that the clot is removed, and that the shearers do not cut too close • have some ointment ready for the wounded puts." We give this as a specimen of needless advice, because any man who pretends to be a farmer ought to know when to shear his sheep and sharpen his shears. A great deal, however, of the Farmer's Calendar is of a different description, and some parts of it will convey instruction even to the most experienced. But we would advise the editors of this Almanac to cut off some of the superfluities, usefulsubstitute t o m f o o s r t themeouu country information peup le which would be . For instance, why not give a list of the bishops, the judges of the Courts of Law, and the lords-lieutenants of counties. These could all be put in a very small com pass, and would be acceptable intelligence to the lowest clod-hopper. Were Messrs. Johnson and Shaw to pay more attention to general information of this description, they would soon find that the Almanac would not be purchased by farmers only. Some errors too appear which are inexcusable ; for instance, lathe list of Cabinet Ministers, we find that the names of Lord Granville Somerset, the Earl of Lincoln, and Mr. Sidney Herbert, a A r el little t m le i tt m e d, or e a nd pla placed attention i among nthi those s respect wouldot o f the Cabinet. this a valuable book for killing time, on a long winter's even ing, around the farmer's hearth.
