THE GRAND BALLOON. It had been rumoured for several days past that the grand balloon would ascend from Vauxhall on the first fa vourable day, and make the attempt to cross the Channel and reach the shores of France or Holland. Many per sons thought this rumour was without foundation, and, as no newspaper and no advertisements announced such an at tempt, it produced no sensation whatever, and nobody gave themselves the trouble to make inquiry. This was exactly what the proprietors of Vauxhall and Mr. Green desired. It was considered desirable to have no mob in the gardens, and that everything should be as quiet and as private as possible, it not being the object of any of the parties con cerned to make money by the exhibition. The consequence was, that yesterday, the day of the ascent, not a dozen peo ple were in the secret, and, with the exception of the persons employed in the inflation, not a dozen persons were in the gardens. The inflation commenced about seven o'clock in the morning, and by one o'clock everything was in readiness. The balloon was inflated almost to its utmost dimensions, and appeared capable of sustaining an aerial flight for many hours or even days. In the car were upwards of a ton of ballast, several gallons of brandy and wine, a large supply of coffee, cold fowls, ham, &c., an apparatus with unslacked lime for heating the coffee, and every other appliance to in sure comfort and prevent starvation and cold. There were also a supply of blue lights, stars, and other fireworks, to be let down at night, if the voyage were not accomplished be fore dark, in order to enable the aeronauts to reconnoitre the country from their elevation, and choose the point of their descent, and a number of parachutes, to which letters were fastened, to be dropped at intervals on the shores of the continent, for the purpose of apprising the public of their transit, arrival, and safety—in a word, a more com plete equipment cannot be conceived ; and it was highly en tertaining to see the preparations of the passengers, and the good humour and confidence with which they shook hands with their friends and took their seats. They were, more over, furnished with passports from the French and Dutch Embassies, and with a letter for the King of Holland from his representative in this country. At 26 minutes after 1 o'clock the rope was let loose, and the splendid machine mounted quickly into the air, having in the car Mr. Green, Mr. Monck Mason, and Mr. Hol land. They rose most majestically, and with a celerity of lespatch and regularity of motion which predicted success co their undertaking. The atmosphere was more than usu ally clear, and the wind was blowing rather fresh from the north-west. It was considered, that if the wind did not change, they would be wafted across the channel by 6 or 7 o'clock, and that their course would be over Ostend, and in the drection to Brussels. The wind, however, by 3 o'clock veered more to the north, which would of course low the balloon further to the southward of the French coast, and perhaps carry them across somewhere between Calais and Boulogne, and it is also probable that on their coming over the Channel a current of air would take them in a direction from north to south, instead of from east to west. All judgment on this hand is, however, little better than conjecture. Mr. Gye is already on the Continent to receive the in trepid voyagers, and Mr. F. Gye, with Mr. Hughes, jun., started last night for Paris to welcome their arrival, and to arrange preparations for an ascent from that metropolis. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.). DOVER, Nov. 7, Six P.m.—Just before dusk a very large balloon came in sight from the northward or north-west direction, and passed over the Castle towards the French coast. When about over our bay a very large light was lowered from the balloon, and remained suspended to it for several minutes : the light was then extinguished, and the balloon con tinued, as long as it could be seen from this place, proceeding across the Channel, with a steady current of air from the west-north-west. The opinion here is that the balloon will reach France in the direction of Boulogne, if the wind con tinues in its present quarter. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S— YEsTRRDA r. After a little, a very little, had been done towards the settlement on the late Newmarket Meeting, several bets were made about the favourites for the Derby. Defender was first backed at 10 to I, a point less was then taken to two or three hundred pounds, the latter odds being afterwards offered currently. 4 to 1 was offered seve ral times agst Jereed and Brother to Bay Middleton, and a sove reign given for the choice of Bay Middleton in a bet of five hun dred pounds between the two. Twelve hundred pounds was betted even between Jereed and Defender, and twelve fifties (being nine and a fifth to one against each) against the three favourites jointly. The only other change worth alluding to was in Wintonian, who was backed two or three times at 25 to 1. The betting closed as follows : THE DERBY. 9 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Bro. to Bay Middleton 9 to 1 agst Colonel Anson's Jereed 9 to 1 agst Mr. Sadler's Defender 16 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Flare-up—taken 16 to 1 agst Captain Gardnor's Phantasima colt 16 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Dardanelles—Dervise darn 25 to 1 apt Mr. Wreford's Wintonian—taken 30 to 1 agst Mr. Bowers's Lord Stafford—taken to a small sum 1000 to 25 agst Mr. E. Peel's Clifton—taken 2000 to 50 agst Lord Berners's Brother to May-day—taken YORK OCTOBER MEETING. The Stewards of the Jockey Club have confirmed the decision given by Mr. Orton on the race for the Ladies' tea service; and, as a proof that the north country gentlemen are of the same opinion, Mr. 0. has since been appointed to officiate as Judge at the Catte rick Bridge, in addition to the York, Heaton Park, and Northal lerton Meetings. - The Newmarket Coursing Meeting takes place on Wednesday next and two following clays. A Steeple Chase of 25 sots. each, 15 ft., to carry list 41b. each, four miles, over a hunting country, will take place within thirty miles of London on the 19th instant.

FLINTSIIIRE REFORM DINNER.—The Flintshire Reformers taking advantage of the challenge of that abor tion of political representation, Mr. Wilson Jones, that " the ball (of the county representation) was at their feet, and that they might kick it about as they liked," made a sort of practical demonstration of the way they are deter mined the game shall be played, by assembling to the num ber of eighty-five, at the White Horse, Holywell, at a din ner given to their honourable, patriotic, consistent, and strictly constitutional representative. The number would have been much greater had it not been for the unavoidable fixture on the eve of the municipal elections throughout the kingdom, which prevented many ardent supporters of the Hon. Member, having interest in the county of Flint, from attending. But probably even blinded Toryism may be in duced to acknowledge that the contrast between this dis play and that at the late Tory dinner at Mold, is not any very decisive proof of the " re-action" in their favour, they are so much in the habit of boasting about. To be sure, by dint of whipping in, free tickets, and other arts for making the best possible muster, the Tories are such masters of, some thirty were mustered round a three-and-sixpenny feed at the Lion, and by a typographical error these were mag nified into twenty more ; yet so far as " kicking the ball about" goes, we hardly expect they will dare to compete with the muster of Reformers which g raced tha festive board last Monday. If they feel inclined for the pastime, all we have to say is, " Come on, and d—d be he that first cries hold." We know that the challenge of Mr. Wilson Jones was as insignificant as the source from which it ema nated, and though the priggish conceit of the snis-represen tative of the Denbighshire boroughs may have led him to believe that, in the fulness of wine and not wisdom, he had done a very clever thing in thus " kicking at the ball," yet we trust that he is by this satisfied, that weak and impotent as is his aim, that the ball has rebounded, and if we mistake not, he will find the effect of that rebound in Denbighshire. —Carnarvon Herald. On Sunday morning William Brumfit, the driver of the Blackburn coach, was seized with apoplexy while sitting on the coach-box, and died in a few minutes. The deceased arrived in this town with his coach about eight o'clock in the morning, and after transacting his business at the coach office, where he appeared to be as well and as cheerful as usual, he again mounted the box to drive to the stables in St. George's-road. As the coach turned into Swan-street the horses were observed to be going at a furious pace, and the deceased, who had dropped the reins, was lying on his back on the top of the coach. The horses were stepped by some persons who were passing along the street, and Mr. Dooley, of the Smithfield Tavern, mounted the coach, and found the deceased motionless. A surgeon was sent for, but life was extinct.—,Manchester Herald. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOV IRELAND. - DUBLIN SOCIETY.—A special committee of the Dublin Society, appointed to consider the resolutions of the Com mittee of the House of Commons, has given in its report. In reference to the first resolution of the Commons' Com mittee, which regards the property of the society as a trust, the report says, that the society cannot and ought not to consent to any surrender of its property , but should a bide by the charter in its true spirit and integrity, convinced of its entire adequacy to the objects for which it was granted. THE TITHE CAMPAIGN.—A new course has been re solved on for adoption, in order to contend more effectually with the church militant. The parsons' bills will be gene rally answered. The defendants will by this method avoid contempt of Court, as it is called, and cannot then be im prisoned. The tithe prosecutions and their rebellion ruffians will be thus baulked of their prey, and eventually, in most cases, we trust, take nothing by their motion but the plea sure of paying the costs of the proceedings. The Southern Reporter states that it appears from the Crown books, that at the Mallow sessions previous to Oc tober, 1834, the processes entered at the suit of the Rev. Richard Dean Freeman, amounted to eighty. Amongst those he got decrees for were—No. 209, eightpence! 210, eightpence ! 211, eightpence ! 212, eightpence! 220, four pence ! 237, fourpence ! 238, fourpence ! 245, twopence! 248, fourpence! 267, fourpence ! 281, threepence ! We sincerely hope that other Rev. Gentlemen will meet with similar success. We learn from the Limerick Star that the clergy have put in practise a new scheme. Their present plan is to issue writs of rebellion where they are assured the party is unable to meet the expences of a defence, is not only without all apology, as the revival of an obsolete and unconstitutional law ; but is, on the very face of the pro ceeding, unjust and oppressive, as it admits a doubt of their ability to substantiate their claims in the customary courts, or by the ordinary forms of law. To the poor farmers throughout Ireland it is an unrestrained and unfeeling ty ranny, because, however just their defence, or however ca pable they might be of proving that the claims against them were illegal and untenable, when once a bill is filed against them in the Court of Exchequer, and a rebellion writ issued, they have no remedy but to strike, the expense of extricating themselves from the rebellion commissioners far exceeding the original demand against them. Under Lord Stanley's Act, for instance, persons holding under pro posals, or under leases executed since 1832, or tenants at will, are excepted from tithes. Farmers so circumstanced naturally conform to the law and refuse to pay the tithes ; but the Rev. claimants, instead of abiding by this law, or instituting suits in the ordinary manner to determine its interpretation, take a short cut to accomplish their objects, and set up pro ceedings of so expensive a nature as will terrify the defend ants from taking defence, and compel them to a neglect of appearance in the court, which must subject them at once to outlawry. This outlawry once accomplished, the farmers are at their mercy. We would, as a matter of serious consideration, recommend the reverend tithe claim ants to pause in future, before they run into an Exchequer suit against their parishioners, since if those parishioners, as they now certainly will do, file answers against their bills, they will be involved in a mesh of law and costs with their own solicitors, which may, perhaps, lead eventually to their being lodged in those dungeons to which they have been so freely consigning the poor farmers. The solicitors , they may be assured, will take care that they are paid by one party or another, and who that party must be, we think will readily appear by a short illustration furnished by a bill of costs. I . ollows : Ohio Indiana Illinois Missouri Alabama Mississippi Louisiana Arkansas Michigan 'Florida COURT OF EXCHEQUER, LIMERICK.—The Rev. Charles P. Coote v. Patrick O'Dwyer and John Benton.—The de fendants were brought up in custody of two commissioners of rebellion—namely, John and James Lysaght, from the parishes of Kilcolman and Doon, in the county of Lime rick, at the suit of the reverend plaintiff, as incumbent of said parishes. The demand against Benton was 51., 3/. only of such being claimed for tithe, the remainder for law costs. That against Dyer was 181., 101. of which sum was for costs. Both the unfortunate men had been arrested five weeks back, and since then had suffered incarceration in Limerick goal. The Registrar proceeded to interro gate them in the usual form :—Patrick Dwyer, do you know why you have been brought up here ? Yes ; I un derstand that I have been taken here on a writ of rebellion for not answering a tithe bill.—Have you anything to say to the Court why you should not stand committed to the custody of the hlarshal of the Four Courts Marshalsea ? I have—and it is this—that I never rented, took, or held in any way whatever a single perch of ground from the day I was born down to the present. Registrar—John Ben ton, are you aware why you were brought here? I am.— Do you wish to address anything to the Court as to why you should not be committed ? No. Registrar—The de fendants stand committed. TIPPERARY.—DUNKERRIN MASSACRE !—THE NOTO RIOUS PHIL. RTAN.—The Very Rev. Dean Hawkins v. John Talbot, Cornelius Egan, and several others.—Mr. Keary : My Lord, I have an application to the Court, arising out of the recent melancholy affair at Dunkerrin. It is for substitution of service of tithe subpoenas in the usual way. I move upon the affidavit of Phillip Ryan (great sensation in the Court). He swears that he had been employed by the plaintiff to serve tithe notices or subpoenas. That on the 21st of October last he went out for that purpose, accompanied by a man named Hogan, who was engaged for the purpose of pointing out to him the dwellings of the defaulters; that they were to have met the Sheriff, but were disappointed, and took a party of po lice with them for their protection. That at a place called Dunkerrin Hogan was barbarously murdered, in conse quence of which said murder he had been since utterly un able to procure any person to point out to him the houses of the defaulters. Baron Pennefather—What was the former order ? To post on the doors of the dwellings, my Lord. The deponent states that there is a church and chapel in the parish, and that Dunkerrin is distant eight miles from Roscrea, the nearest town. Baron Pennefather Are the names, &c., of the parties described ? No, not particularly. Court—Then you cannot get the order till you amend.—The Court then rose, and adjourned to the following morning. The Southern Reporter states, on the authority of a cor respondent, that on Thursday last a large body of military, horse and foot, and police served about thirty farmers in the parish of Monagh, many of them Protestants, with Ex chequer processes. The people in the surrounding districts immediately abandoned their houses, drove their cattle to a great distance, and then congregated on the neighbouring heights. The police acted as pioneers on the occasion, and levelled fences and ditches as they proceeded. The Rev. Robert H. Lawrence, sou of the former bishop of that name, is the Rector. The composition under Stanley's Act was 8501. The predecessor of the former parish offered to take 6001. This Mr. Lawrence refused. From that time attempts at arrangement were frequently made, and for a period of nine or ten years a tithe war has existed between parson and the people. CORK.—Lord Ennismore, it would seem, declines to come forward for the representation of the county. On the 7th (yesterday) matter touching the selection of a se cond candidate was to come on for discussion at the County Cork Reform Registry Association. The Southern Re porter deprecates the dictation which it apprehends is in• volved in the proceedings of this Association, and concludes by the following remarks :—" It should be recollected that Members of Parliament are not always representatives of the people—and the surest way to send representatives of the people to Parliament, is to refer to the people for the choice of them. We have seen the resolutions prepared for Monday. They are resolutions which the Committee cannot pass, whatever a public meeting may do with them." The Privy Council have decided that no case was made out for the removal to Dungarvan, and that the Assizes should, as heretofore, continue to be held in Waterford. This intelligence will be received with exultation by the cesspayers of this county from one extreminity to the other ; eternal thanks to the Privy Council for their righteous decision, which has rescued our hard working farmers from the merciless weight of a crushing and most unne cessary tax.—Waterford Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—An inquest was taken yes terday, on view of the body of Hannah Thomas, the wife of Lieutenant Robinson Thomas, R.N., of Ballinakill, county Waterford. It appeared by the evidence of Miss Hannah Donovan of Ballinakill, a fashionably attired and interesting young lady, that on Sunday the witness, the deceased, and deceased's brother (witness's father), left Ballinakill in their own jaunting car, for the purpose of meeting the Waterford coach to Cork, at Kilmacthomas. When they arrived there the coach had passed, and they pro ceeded in a chaise toDungarvan, where they overtook the mail, where the females got inside and Mr. Donovan outside. At this time the deceased and her brother were evidently intoxicated. Mrs. Thomas had drunk, to witness's knowledge, two tum blers of punch—one at Kilmacthomas, the other at Dun garvan. James Pinnock, Esq., of the Colonial Office, said that he and another English gentleman were travelling on that morning on their way to Cork in the Waterford coach, when at Dungarvan, they were joined by the deceased and the former witness. The deceased was drunk. The wit ness added that the treatment observed to the deceased by the man who was represented as her brother, was very brutal. He was quite drunk, a ci-cumstance that might account for his conduct. At one time he saw him push her with force, and all through be was rough and rude to her. Nor did he manifest any anxiety when it was told him she was dead. The witness had no doubt upon his mind that the deceased died a natural death, principally caused by drunkenness, but superadded to which, as he had heard, she was labouring under an attack of erysipelas. The inside of the coach was partly covered with blood. Verdict—that the deceased had died from the effects of intoxication, combined with erysipelas, and a delicate state of health. Morning Paper. MONEY MARKET. The private accounts from America, now that there has been time fully to comprehend all the bargains of the late measures of the Bank of England, do not exhibit the state of things there in any formidable light. There continued up to the date of these accounts, the 18th ult., a terrific run upon all descriptions of speculative and investment pro perty, with a scarcity of money almost unexampled, but the consolation was that no failures of any importance had ensued. The material part of the news, as regards this country, is the statement which appears in some of the ac counts, that large as the importations of bullion have been from Europe, a further snpply will be required, and the confident opinion which accompanies it, that this supply will be obtained, notwithstanding all the efforts made on this side of the water to stop it. The manner in which this is to be done, as pointed out in these ac counts, is well deserving of notice. The demand in Europe for cotton is, as would be anticipated, the prin cipal medium relied on, but several other causes are stated to work in favour of the United States. " The increase of manufactures," it is remarked, "is such, not only in England, but throughout the Continent, that there is a constant consumption of cotton, and the price, instead of falling, is steadily advancing. The export of this article has risen from 40,000,000 dollars a year to 80,000,000 dol lars, and the amount must be paid in some way or other. Besides this, the rate of interest on this side of the water is nearly double to theirs. Bonds and mortgages, which throughout England, Holland, and other countries pay but 3or 3i per cent., pay here 7 per ceut. The same with our stocks, and the consequence is, that a large amount of English funds is gradually invested, very little of which is ever returned, because it is perfectly safe and pays the lender a handsome interest. This, together with the Ame rican productions, has brought Europe, and particularly England, in debt to us, and until we take a larger amount of their manufactures, they will continue in debt to us, and the balance must come in gold." This is pretty nearly the true state of the case, but a fall in the price of cotton, with the total discouragement of investments in American securities, which recent events have produced, may go far to correct the evil. The tendency will, how ever, be always the other way, and it is clear that constant watchfulness on the part of the Bank of England will be re quired for some time to come, to keep matters in tolerable equilibrium. An American paper mentions an extraordinary advance in the value of real estates in Ohio, the effect of the specu lative mania, and it gives as an instance, that a gentleman, who two years ago purchased an estate in Sandusk city for 3,000 dollars, had now sold it for 100,000. To show the extent of the commodity on which these speculations have to act, reference may be made to a list of the public lands owned by the United States in different sections of the Union, made up to the latest practicable period. It is as Acres. 4,100,942 11,459,156 17,254,001 17,443,427 22,586,058 12,924,301 9,683,526 14,223,175 14,028,917 6,792,909 130,476,414 To these have to be added, in the same States - - and territories, lands to which the Indian title has been expunged Lands to which the Indian title is not extin guished Lands surveyed within the last year And what is called the Desmoines Purchase, a tract north of Missouri and west of Mississippi 24,523,586 Total 340,000,000 REDUCTION IN THE CONVIVIAL ---- ---- -- EXPENSES OF THE CORPORATION.

We understand that the work of retrenchment is to go forward immediately in the offices of the chief officers of the Corporation, in some of which offices, it is said, that the clerks who do almost all the work are but very indifferently remunerated by the principals, although the sums allowed by the Corporation for assistance has been always extremely liberal. Indeed some of the members were so convinced of the existence of this abuse, that they urged the rapid eco nomising of the Corporation expenses as regarded the mem bers themselves, with the greater earnestness in order to correct an evil which calls so strongly for a remedy. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge is not expected to return to this country from the Conti nent for two years, or two years and a half from the date of ' his departure. The young Prince is now in Hanover, with his Royal parents, but he will make the grand tour of the European Courts ere his return, attended by Lieut.- Colonel Cornwall, of the Coldstream Guards. The Rev. John R. Wood, the Prince's tutor, remains at Windsor. Lord John Frederick Gordon, son-in-law to the King, was appointed a Lord of the Bedchamber very shortly after his union with Lady Augusta Kennedy Erskine, but was not gazetted until last week. Earl and Countess Grey are entertaining a select circlo at Howick. Count and Countess Flahaut visited the Noble Earl on their way from the North. Monday last being the anniversary of the birth of the Countess of Kinnoul it was celebrated by a party of the neighbouring tenantry and others connected with the estate, who were entertained to a plentiful dinner at the Castle, and, being afterwards joined by their fair partners and daughters, dancing commenced, and the evening was spent in the most happy and social manner. The First Battalion of the Grenadier Regiment of Guards arrived in town yesterday from Woolwich, where it was relieved by the 97th regiment of Infantry, recently returned from Ceylon. The inhabitants of Oswestry have presented to the Hon. Thomas Kenyon, son of Lord Kenyon, a splendid candelabrum, of the value of 150 guineas, as a testimonial of their respect for his public services as High Steward, and of esteem for his private character. The Guernsey Star mentions the death of Mr. Peter Galliene, one of the Guernsey Sub-marine Society, occasioned by his being accidentally suffocated whilst en gaged in operations on the wreck of a vessel under water oiAlderney. He had been at work on the wreck during the morning, and been twice drawn up, without having ex perienced the least fatigue, and was let down a third time at his own request. The cause of the accident is not given. The same paper states that the Alderney boatmen were strongly opposed to the operations of the divers, and that police officers were obliged to protect them from their threatened attacks, as the boatmen considered the wreck their property. On Monday last, the piercers in Messrs. M'Con nel's and other large mills, in Ancoats, turned out ; some of them returned to work that day or the next morning ; but again struck on the following day, and we believe are still out ; and by this strike, of course, a great number of spinners, who have taken no part in the matter are thrown out of work.—Manchester Guardian. We understand that the working cotton-spinners at Oldham have this week generally withdrawn the notices which they had previously given to leave their employ merit ; and several of the mills which had been stopped re commenced work on Thursday morning. Since that time, however, we are sorry to learn, owing to some fresh diffe rences or to a want of a thorough understanding at the time the notices were withdrawn, a renewal of the turn out has taken place in one or two cases ; and fears were entertained yesterday that the turn-out would not be ge neral.--Illanchester Guardian. SNOW IN HARVEST.—The truth of this oft-re peated saying has been this year exemplified. A farmer in the Isle of Ely has at this time a crop of oats of about forty acres still standing, untouched by scythe or sickle. It is impossible to tell what a November or a December sun may do to bring it to maturity ; but it is calculated that a fortnight's heat of the summer's sun would scarcely effect that object, bowed and broken down as it is by the recent hail and snow.—Cambridge Chronicle. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 6.—Some arrests at Paris within these fecv days have been talked of, and a journal has mentioned M. Tampucci, whom it calls an Italian refugee, the presumed author of a publication called Chants Pro/claire:, and M. Goulie, a student, at whose lodging 200 of these copies were seized. The arrest of H. S. de Vieil Cassel is also spoken of. Another journal says that M. Tampucci, far from being an Italian refugee, was born in the College of Charlemagne. Lastly, a journal states, that yesterday evening a report was in circulation that an infernal machine, fitted up with musket barrels, had been seized in the Rue de Conde, near the Odeon, at the lodgings of an English man, who had himself been conveyed to the Prefecture of Police. The journals of the Tribunals do not mention this last circumstance, nor do they speak of arrests. Hitherto there is nothing to indicate that the affair of Strasburgh had ramifications in the interior of France. Our correspondent at Bayonne writes, on the 2d of November, that since the departure of Villareal to meet Espartero, no news had been received, from which it could be inferred that an action had taken place. In fact it may be well imagined, that Espartero has manoeuvred in such a manner as to oblige the Carlist General to raise the siege, but that he cannot be eager to engage in an action, which, if it should end unfavourably, will endanger the Army of the Centre, and the city of Bilboa into the bargain. It seems that Evariste San Miguel has not succeeded in Lower Aragon in his attack on Cantavieja, which is de fended by Cabrera. The two battalions of the Foreign Legion which were on the Ebro have rejoined General Lebeau. Eleven officers of that Legion have resigned. We mentioned that Admiral Hugon's squadron, which arrived at 'Cadiz on the 29th, had had a dispute with the magistrates, who would have had it go and perform quaran tine at Mahon. The Government at Madrid has decided against the magistrates of Cadiz , that the squadron shall perform quarantine in the Bay.—Journal du Commerce, Nov. 6. M. Thiers was in so great a hurry to arrive in Paris that in his journey from Venice to Lyons he merely stopped to change horses. Madame Doane and Madame Thiers never left the coach, even to take their meals. In order to be ready in time, and not delay M. Thiers on his journey, those ladies left at Venice a number of objects they had purchased in Italy.—Nouvelle Minerve. We are assured that in his first interview with M. Mole, M. Thiers declared to the President of the Council that he had returned with hostile dispositions against the Doctrinaire Cabinet, and with the firm determination of opposing it in Chamber, but that, in consequence of the gravity of the late events of Strasburg and Vendome, he would observe a friendly neutrality, and should not even hesitate to support it, if the dangers of the situation assumed a more serious character. This condescension being made known to the colleagues of M. Mole, caused a great sensation in the Ministries.—Nouvelle Itfinerve. M. Dhis, Commissary of Police of the fortress of Ham, has arrived in Paris. He is said to have come on a mission connected with the liberation of Prince de Polignac. M. Dhis will return to-morrow to Ham.--Droil. . . --- STRASBURG, Nov. 3.—lt was reported last evening that Prince Louis had been transferred, with the other prisoners, to the citadel on Tuesday night. The truth is this :—The Prince had been for an instant removed to the citadel, but was immediately afterwards brought back to the New Prison, behind the Tribunal, where he is still with his com panions. Colonel Vaudrey alone has been confined in the citadel. The Attorney-General Rossee, and Councillor Wolbert, assisted by the first Recorder of the Court of Colmar, are following up without interruption the prelimi nary proceedings in this important affair. It appears, from what we have been told, that a number of other arrests have taken place out of Strasburg, but the names of the persons apprehended are not yet known.—Courrier du Bar Rhin. The judicial proceedings in the affair of the 30th of October are carried on with the utmost activity. Prince Louis assumed, from the moment of his arrest, an attitude full of dignity and reserve. " I knew," he said, " that my head would be the stake if I failed. I have been deceived; I thought France was tired of her Government, and that, in reviving the recollections of the empire, I should have been joined by the army and the people." Colonel Vaudrey ap pears greatly cast down. Young Latry, the Artillery officer, is said to have confessed what he knew of that military conspiracy. From the information collected, it appears that the female who takes the name of Lady Gordon is very much compromised, and that she was the pivot, of the whole intrigue. It is reported that it was the Count de Gricourt who induced the young artillery officer to embark in that unfortunate affair ; three or four of them have fled. Young Bonaparte may have been led astray by the French men he saw during his residence in Switzerland and in the duchy of Baden. They paid him every attention and respect, as the descendant of the Napoleons and Beauhar nois, but he mistook the nature of their sentiments. Per haps he was likewise deceived by the tone of certain jour nals, and he may have thought, as he says himself, that he bad only to lay his foot on French ground to conquer the country, as Napoleon formerly did.—Courrier Francais. The King, on the report of the Minister of War, desirous to recompense M. Taillandier, Lieutenant-Colonel of the 46th Regiment of the Line, for his honourable conduct in the affair of Strasburg, had raised him to the rank of Co lonel, and appointed him Commander of the 18th Regiment of the Line.—Moniteur. Among the persons arrested, within these two days, in Paris, are M. Tampucci, an Italian refugee, supposed to be the author of a publication, entitled " Chants Prole taires ;" M. Goulie, a student, in whose lodging two hun dred copies of that pamphlet were found ; and a M. Ho race Salviac de Vieil-Castel.—Gazette de France. The Droit states, that the Director of the Conciergerie, who has set out for Strasburg, was accompanied by the four surveillans, who kept watch on Pepin, Fieschi, and Morey.

INDIA TRANSIT DIITIES.—We learn from Calcutta that Sir Charles Metcalf abolished the transit duties. MANILLA, MAY 10.—We regret to state that ac counts have just been received that the Malay pirates have boldly landed on the coast of Pangasinang, burning several villages, and taking a number of natives prisoners. We received a letter which. informed us of the battle of Captain Elliot with a numerous fleet of Malay pirates off Manilla. The gallant chivalry of Elliot's engagement has not often been equalled, and perhaps never surpassed. He was cruising in a Government falwa, a large open boat, with a crew of 43 armed, with one large brass gun, an 18 or 24 pounder, four swivels in the stern, and small arms. The boat pulled 26 oars. Passing round a point of land, he suddenly found himself almost in the middle of 26 double-banked pirate proas, each containing 40 men. The moment ho saw the enemy, be, with great courage, gave the word —ready for action. The long gun was quickly double-sbotted with grape, and when within hail, the Pirate Chief, who led the van, were moving to surround the gal lant boat, hailed E lliot, and said, if he was a brave man he would fight ; and when Elliot was in contact, fired his bow gun. The aim was so good, and the effect so deadly that the pirate's chief boat, with her crew, immediately sunk ; with out losing way, on went Elliot over the wave, towards the second chief's proa, fired, and the remaining proas fled. AUSTRALIA. Hobart Town Papers to the 4th of .

Exchange upon England during the week, 7d. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS• MIDDLESEX. Messrs. COVENTRY and KEEN held their Court yester day, at the Court-house, Marylebone. (Before Mr. COVENTRY.) The lists for the parishes of Marylebone and St. Pancras came on for revision. In the former list, Mr. Hovenden and 41 other gentlemen claimed to be registered in the fol lowing words :—" Freehold, as Vestrymen of St. Maryle hone, freehold land and buildings in St. John's Wood burial ground ; freehold land and buildings called the Court-house and Station-house, in Marylebone-lane, all in the parish of Marylebone." Mr. Adey took a preliminary objection. Decision deferred. The lists of this district having been closed, Mr. COVENTRY proceeded to give judgment in the case of the Masters and Six Clerks in Chancery, which had come before him in the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn. The names of the Masters were erased. The case of claims of the Six Clerks in Chancery was then called on. Mr. COVENTRY said the Six Clerks claimed to be in serted as voters for the county in respect of certain cellars under their offices, and other premises. The Middlesex Committee had decided that each individual Six Clerk was not entitled to a vote, and to that decision he'should adhere. He should therefore expunge the names. (Before Mr. KEEN.) The lists of the parishes of St. James and St.. Ann, West minster ; St. George, Hanover-square ; and Paddington, were revised. No new point of interest arose, but, in the course of the day, Mr. KEEN pronounced his decision on the case reserved from Limehouse, of the 16 Directors of the Plate Glass Company. Mr. Keen having stated the facts of the case, pronounced judgment against the claims. On Monday, the 7th instant, a General Assembly of the Academicians was held at the Royal Academy of Arts in Somerset House, when Mr. John P. Knight was elected an Associate, and Mr. Robert Graves an Associate Engraver, of that Institution. This morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a shocking and melancholy accident occurred to Henry Way land, Esq., a gentleman residing in Park-street, Grosvenor square. It appears from the sta t e ment of his groom that his master was engaged purchasing a valuable horse of a dealer. Mr. W. desired his groom to run the animal up and down the mews for the purpose of seeing his action, which was done and approved of. Previous to his being led away, the unfortunate gentleman advanced too near his hind legs, for the purpose of looking at his quarters, when the animal suddenly kicked out, and struck him with such tremendous violence in the mouth as to dash nearly every tooth from out of it, besides fracturing his jaws in a frightful manner. He was immediately carried home quite insensible. Our obituary contains a notice of the death of John Marshall, jun., Esq., at his residence in London on Monday last. The late Mr. Marshall was one of the first Members returned for this borough under the Parliamentary Reform Act. The decided part which he and his family had taken as advocates of Parliamentary Reform in this country, and his own extensive knowledge, commercial and political, in duced his fellow-townsmen to place him at the head of the poll on that. memorable occasion. His ardent and perse vering devotion to his Parliamentary duties, combined with the pernicious system of legislation by which the whole le gislative business of the country is centralised in the metro polis, and necessarily transacted within A few months in each year, proved so oppressive to his constitu:ion, as to have brought him to the grave in the vigour of maDhood. By those who were acquainted with Mr. Marshall in private life his loss will be, most deeply felt, and his enlightene d en deavours to promote education and extend knowledge will much enhance the regret of his fellow-townsmen at his me lancholy and premature decease.—Leeds Times. In the neighbourhood of Worcester the anomaly of snow on the ground and applei on the trees was witnessed on Saturday last.— Worcester Journal. According to a work published on insanity, by order of the Government, it appears that, on an average, there are 285 mad tailors in every 1,000. Many medical men have attributed this great proportion to the sedentary position adopted by this class of men.—French Paper. INCENDIARISM.—We were hoping that this diabo lical indisposition was buried ; but we are sorry to have to state, that four large wheat stacks and a rick of oats were set on fire between 10 and 11 o'clock on Saturday night last, in an enclosed field between Triplow and Foulmire, Cambridgeshire, the property of Mr. Joseph Ellis, of Trip low. The perpetrators were very dexterous at their busi ness, as all the stacks, &c. began to burn at the same time. The property was insured in the Phoenix Fire-office.-- Courtly Chronicle. BLACKHEATH.—There is a tradition which has been handed down for ages from father to son, but which has never, that we know of, been traced to any authentic source, that this place derives its name from the fact of its covering a large field of coal, but which, though so con tiguous to the metropolis, has never been opened, lest such a supply should interfere with the valuable nursery for sea men which the coal trade to the port of London furnishes. The rumour that there are coals under Blackheath is, we see, again revived, but probably with no better foundation or prospect of being realised than heretofore. The house of Joseph Brotherton, 'Esq., M.P., King-street, Salford, was, early on the morning of Tuesday, entered by the grid of the coal-cellar. The thieves took out of the house a quantity of plate, three dozen knives and forks, a silk dress, and various other articles. Before quit ting the scene of their depredations, judging from appear ances, it would seem that they had regaled themselves with whatever they could find in the house to cat. The family had not retired to rest until nearly one o'clock that morning, so that the probability is that the thieves had been on the watch all night. The robbery was discovered about half past six in the morning.—Manchester Guardian.
