The late deplorable calamity at the Haswell Col liery has attracted, as was naturally to be expected, an extraordinary degree of sympathy for the melan choly fate of its victims, and the scarcely less de plorable bereavment of their surviving connexions. Upwards of one hundred human beings, engaged in the honest pursuit of their laborious sad dreary call ing, were swept out of existence by a sudden escape and explosion of that noxious gas which is always generated in greater or lesser volume in coal work ings. Nearly as many more, in the various relations of wives and children and dependent kindred, have been in a moment deprived of their natural protectors and supporters. The dead have perished without warning; the living are left without provision for their future subsistence. No one survives to tell the tale of this frightful disaster ; so that its cause, and the manner of its operation, are left to conjecture, or to be collected from the opinions and experience of witnesses who had either quitted the pit before the explosion took place, or who have examined it since. But these witnesses, so far as the laborious examina tions of the coroner's inquest have yot gone, seem to concur, all of them, in the declaration that up to a period of within half an hour of this dreadful blast, they had found the pit "exceedingly well ventilated" —some aver that it has been always considered by them " particularly safe ;" and others deposed that they had never been employed in workings where so powerful a stream of fresh air was kept up. One of the men examined before the inquest has already proved that, at times, this stream was so powerful, that he and his fellow-workmen have bee n o bli ged to solicit the master worker to moderate it, by shutting to "the brattice." But whether the mischief origi nated from the displacement of a "fidid" (one of the supporting pillars of the mine which is taken away when the adjacent chamber or space is worked only) or by the incautious exposure of a lighted DAYT lamp to the air of the mine—this fact, which it might have been so essential to the interests of humanity and science to have ascertained, can, now, never be duly ascertained. Upon all reasonable assumption we may, probably, infer that, notwithstanding the vague, though general impressions, of the witnesses whom we have referred to, there must have been a large previous accumulation of the fatal " coal damp," as it is called ; and we must own to a strong pre possession that, had any adequate scheme of mining supervision been in operation, under due authority and efficient management, the great probability is that this desolating sacrifice of human life might have been avoided. So much we feel ourselves justified in assuming; and in doing so, we feel that we neither anticipate nor prejudice the finding of the coroner's jury. Now, this brings us again to notice a matter which we have often, and very recently, urged upon the at tention of our readers—namely, the slovenly and dis graceful manner in which pending Bills, and all the unconcluded measures of the session, are hurried on with railroad velocity and reckless carelessness, as the Parliamentary recess or prorogation approaches, to the limbo of legislation defunct before maturity. They are pitchforked, by wholesale, into the great cemetery of "a second time this day six months." When the next ensuing session is commenced, the same initiatory proceedings, the same tedious pre liminaries of debate, and announced amendments, have to be gone through again, to the great hindrance of public business, the grievous waste of public time, and the exclusive profit and pleasure of the Parlia ment printer and her MAJESTY'S Stationary-office. These, however, are simply inconveniences. That the same practice may occasionally lead to graver and more lamentable results we are not sure that this very call of the Haswell Colliery does not demon strate. On our table we have had for the last fort night, among other Parliamentary prints then issued, a copy of "A Bill for establishing District Registers of all Mining operations in England and Wales, prepared and brought in by Mr. HODGSON HIND and W. ORD, and ordered by the House of Commons to be printed, Ist of August, 1844." This Bill, there fore, had it been introduced earlier—or had it, after its introduction at this later period of last session, been carried through both Houses, received the royal assent, and passed into a law—this very Bill might have established such a precautionary and salutary mining supervision as we advocate. For what is its object, as we collect it from the preamble ? That "it is expedient to establish a systematic registration of all mining operations carried on throughout Eng land and Wales and in the Isle of Man, for better preventing ate loss of human life, the occurrence of many grievous and unexpected injuries to mining pro prietors, and the large and fruitless expenditure of capital and labour which result from an entire igno rance, or an imperfect record of mining operations." There was, some months ago, a memorable strike among the pitmen. Some new hands—a few, at least, there were for the first time working in this pit, are sacrificed in this terrible explosion. How possible is it that, from their want of a minute or practical acquaintance with the nature of the various workings—which were considered by the more ex perienced miners to, be dangerous—these poor fel lows may have, by some momentary imprudence or other, originated the explosion ? How pos sible is it that, had there existed " a systematic re gistration " of the " mining operations " of the Has well district, this " loss of human life " might have been " better prevented." In such a case it might not have fallen to our painful lot to publish that an nouncement which has created so vivid a sensation throughout the metropolis, of one of the most hideous casualties that has occurred in our mining districts for these thirty years past. The Bill would have fully embraced all the regulations, the want of which has, perhaps, been the proximate cause of this memo rable calamity. The classification of its clauses goes under the following heads:— General Provisions ; Officers and Offices for Registration ; Expenses of the Act ; Notice of Registration ; Mode of Ditto ; Inspectors of Registers and Copies ; Evidence ; Po licies; Accounts of Registrars; Injuries to Mines after, Registration ; Power of Board of Trade, &c. When we first heard of the appointment of Lord HEYTESBURY to the Viceroyalty of Ireland, we thought it far from unlikely—and we stated our im pressions at the time in The Sun—that the policy pur sued by his Lordship would be of a conciliatory cha racter ; and that, Tory though he is known to be— having graduated in the school of LIVERPOOL and CASTLEREAOR—he would undo much that had been done by his predecessor; and legislate for the Irish in a spirit more suited to their best interests than has ever yet been attempted by any Lord-Lieutenant who has been installed in Dublin Castle under the direct auspices of Toryism. We came to this con clusion, first, from the necessity of the case ; and, secondly, from the character of the Noble Lord, who is known to be a man of vast experience and great political sagacity—qualities which are not often found in company with obstinacy and intolerance. That we have not been mistaken in our im pressions, is, we think, pretty evident from the answer which Lord HEYTESBURY delivered on Friday last to an address from the Remon strant Synod of Ulster, congratulating him on his appointment to the Irish Viceroyalty, and expressing a fervent hope that be would administer the laws with strict impartiality, and with a firm resolution to recommend such conciliatory changes and rainedia measures as might be most beneficial to the sister country. " You may be assured, Gentlemen," was the emphatic reply of his Lordship, " that it is my earnest desire to administer existing laws with scru pulous impartiality, and with a full intention to re commeni such conciliatory changes and improve ments as may tend at once to secure the peace and prosperity of Ireland, and to confirm the power and integrity of the United Kingdom. Happy, indeed, shall I be at the close of my administration, to find confidence superseding distrust, affection dis placing alienation, and the confusion of religious and political strife settling into social harmony and na tional prosperity." Vague as this answer must be confessed to be, yet when we consider the period at which it is delivered, it cannot fail to be regarded otherwise than as a sign of good omen ; and, coupled with the significant declaration respecting Ireland, made unsolicited by Sir ROBERT PEEL towards the close of the last session, it affords, we are willing to believe—though Heaven knows we are far from being eager to place implicit faith in Tory promises !—a satisfactory proof that Government have at length come to the determination of amending the en tire defective system of their Irish policy, and putting down the Repeal agitation by the best and most effectual of all means—conciliation and impar tiality. Indeed, it would not at all surprise us were Sir ROBERT PEEL to play the Catholic Emancipation game over again—that is to say, astonish Ireland and the whole empire by the enlarged and comprehensive character of his remedial measures, and give his sudden and strenuous support to plans of which he has been all his life the determined opponent. It i, no argument in favour of his continuing to uphold the monstrous abuses of the Irish Protestant Esta blishment, that he upheld them last session, for all the world knows that his last decided speech in the year 1828 was made against Emancipation, and that his first decided one in the year 1829 was made in favour of that measure. Be sides, we retain a vivid recollection of Lord WIIARNCLIEFE'S late Education speech at Leeds which was avowedly official in its character, and must have impressed its readers with the belief that the Premier, though he would be as ready as ever to uphold the rightful authority of the Church, was by no means disposed to submit to its arbitrary pre tensions, but would henceforth take care to see that fair play was awarded to that vast and influential mass of the community who dissent from its doc trines. All things considered, therefore, we abide by the opinion which we expressed some weeks since in The Sun—na me ly, that Sir R. PEEL is resolved to turn over a new leaf as respects Ireland, and pursue such a remedial and conciliatory course of policy as may lay the foundation of permanent tranquillity in the sister country. And indeed it is high time that he should do so, for the present aspect of Irish affairs is of the most portentous character ; and the recent appearance in the field of agitation of Orange men and Conservatives, with schemes for Federal and Triennial Parliaments, clearly shows how excited is the national mini, and how acute the consciousness, among all classes of Irishmen, of the wrongs which they have for years sustained at the hands of Eng land. When an avowed Conservative, and one too of high station in Ireland, and whose acquirements are generally allowed to be of a superior character, and who, moreover, can have no ulterior purpose of his own to serve—when such a man comes earnestly for ward with a proposal for a Federal Parliament in Dublin, and receives the thanks, and is admitted to the confidence of the Repealers, in consequence of such proposal, be sure that the time is arrived when reme dial measures for Ireland can no longer be postponed with safety I The Madrid Gazette of the 26th ult. publishes a list of the senators chosen by the Crown from among those returned to the Upper Chamber. Among the number are the Marquis DE PENA FLORIDA and M. RUEZ DE LA VEGA, for Madrid ; D. MANUEL DE SORIA, for Badajos ; the Archbishop of TOLEDO, for Oviedo ; the Duke DE CASTRO TERRENO, for Zamora; and D. RAMOS ORTEGA and Count SABRADIEL, for Saragossa. They all belong to the Moderado party. According to the Heraldo the Progresistas are not idle. " The revolutionary party," it says, " are incorrigible. We had thought that the tremendous lesson given to them at Saragossa and Ali cante would suffice ; but our own letters from Barcelona, Albacete, Valencia, and other parts, as well as those of our foreign correspondents, prove that they are still plotting, and continually labouring to kindle fresh disturbances, with the view of prevent ing the meeting of the approaching Cortes. To alarm the credulous people by spreading absurd rumours as to a marriage between her MAJESTY and a son of Don CARLOS—Absolutist schemes—the return to Spain of CARRERA and PALILLOS and the restitution of national property, and to endeavour to shake the army's allegiance by promising a distribution of land to the soldiers and promotion to the officers—such are the principal means resorted to by the revolutionists." The Three per Cents. were done at 281 at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 201 for cash, and 21 7-16, at 60 days ; the floating debt at 661, for the 10th of No vember ; and the debt without interest at 6 1-16 for cash, and 61 at 60 days. The sudden and apparently unexpected return of the Prince DE JOINYILLE to Paris on Tuesday delayed for a day the departure of the KING and Royal Family for the Chateau d'Eu. His MAJESTY, however, ac cording to the official journals, was to leave the capital on Thursday, accompanied by the QUEEN, Madame ADELAIDE, and the Duke DE MONTPENSIER ; he will leave Eu for Portsmouth on the night of the 6th inst., accompanied by the Duke DE MONTPENSIER. The Lieutenants-General Baron ATUALIN and Count DE RUMIGNY, the Colonels Count DUMAS and the Count DE CHABAUNES, the KING'S Aides-de-Camps, are to attend his MAJESTY, together with Colonel THIEERY, Aide-de-Camp to his Royal Highness the Duke DE MONTPENSIEK ; the Baron FAIN, First Secretary of the Cabinet ; M. FoucturEa, first physician ; and M. PASQUIER, junior, the KING'S surgeon. M. GUIZOT and Admiral MACKAU will proceed on Sunday next to join his MAJESTY at the Chateau d'Eu, previous to his departure for England, where they will accom pany his MAJESTY. During the KING'S absence the Ministers will assemble under the presidency of Mar shal SOULT. His Royal Highness the Duke DE NE.. MOUES will assist at the Cabinet Councils. The QUEEN and Madame ADELAIDE will remain at Eu during the KING'S absence, which, it is said, will ex tend to a period of fifteen days. M. GUIZOT and Baron MACKAU were to leave for Eu on Friday. The Journal des Debats states that the official letter, in forming the Prince DE JOINVILLE that a grand re ception was being prepared for him at Toulon, having been forwarded from Paris on the 14th, only reached Cadiz on the 24th, two days after the departure of the Prince. The refusal of the Prince to honour Toulon with his presence has caused great disappointment and even dissatisfaction, as will be seen by the following extract from the Toulonnais " On Thursday last our town was the victim of a great mystification. At eleven o'clock in the forenoon, the watchman on Cape Sepat signalled the ship of war, the Suffren towed by the Montezuma steamer, and bearing the flag of the Royal Admiral. Immediately after so positive a signal, the maritime Prefect, with praiseworthy anxiety, hastened to give the official announcement of the much-longed-for arrival of his Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville. Crowds of people made their way immediately to the heights of the great town, and to Fort Lamalque, both of which were soon crowded with spectators, whilst the weak, the lazy, and those who do not choose to purchase pleasure, however great, with great fatigue, took boats, and took up their posi tion in the roads. The telegraph carried the news to a distance, and General d'llautpoul arrived post from ' Marseilles. The military, civil, and judiciary authorities prepared to pay their respects to the Prince Admiral. The troops were drawn up as a guard in the streets where the royal traveller was to pass, the quays were crowded, the windows looking on the harbour were filled with ladies dressed in their best, and whose appearance. added gaity and beauty to the scene. It was a veritable parterre de fkurs. The roads were crowded with boats without number. The municipal council, the mayor and his adjuncts, the officers of the National Guard, were at the Hotel de Ville, ready to receive the conqueror of Tan giers and Mogadore. Every one was happy ; our city was all joy and life. At half-past two the Terrare steamer, having Admiral Baudin, the Prefect of the Marine, on board, left the Arsenal to meet the Prince. At the same instant the ships of war exchanged signals, and prepared for the reception. The cannoniers were ready at their guns, with lighted matches, and only waited the signal to fire—when, oh, fatality of fatalities ! bitter deception ! the Suffren, as signalled, indeed ar rives, but there is no Prince ! The Abbe Coquereau, the chaplain of the Morocco squadron, who came by the Suffren, announced, as we are assured, that the Prince of Joinville was- indisposed, and was to leave Cadiz for Havre by the Pluton, and that his Royal Highness did not leave his ship until the moment when she was about to sail. We respect the motives of this determination, but, we are the echoes of the whole inhabitants in re gretting sincerely that our town should have been de prived at this memorable period of the visit of the Prii ice of Joinville. On the assurance that he would have disembarked at our port, fetes, public rejoicings, a ball, and a triumphal arch worthy of the hero, all were ready ; every one was at his post anxious to join in a reception equally brilliant and cordial. The hour of pleasure had sounded for us, but there being no Prince all pleasure had vanished. The town will be put to the expense—a heavy one—of the preparations. Admiral Baudin, who had previously sent out the invitations for the dinner which he proposed to give in the evening to the Prince, got together al his table the captains of the ships at anchor in the roads, the different court and mili tary authorities, while the deceived and disappointed people cry out, ' The deuce take the watchman of Cape S epat.' " The Moniteur Algerian, of the 25th ult., thus con tradicts the reports of the return of ABD••EL•KADEIt to the Algerine territory : " A journal, on the authority of its Algiers corre ' spoudent, announced that Abd-el-Kader had re-appeared in the Desert, and was at Ain Madhi. No fact justified such a statement. It will soon be a year since Abd-el- Kader, expelled from Algeria, had sought refuge in the territory of Morocco, which he left only once, to effect a razzia on the side of Saida. He remained ever since close to the frontier, and when the war with Morocco broke out, our troops operating in the west compelled him to retire into the interior. His small force con sisted of 150 efficient horsemen, thirty horses without riders, and 400 badly armed and equipped foot soldiers. His family and suite constituted an assemblage of about two thousand persons of all ages and sexes. After the battle of Isly, our troops having advanced to the Oued Zekerra, and sent out reconnoitring parties as far as Aionn-Sidi-Mellouk, Abd-el-Kader crossed the Mallonia, and proceeded down that river to the mountains of Garet, thirty leagues from our frontier. Most of the individuals who accompanied him were attacked with fever. Their sanatory condi tion was such that they could neither fight nor fly. The Emperor of Morocco might have accordingly arrested Abdesl-Kader and his followers without the least diffi culty. At any period he could have done so, if he pleased'. for Abd-el-Kader was often encamped within a mile of the Moorish head-quarters. It is not true that Abd-el-Kader was the leader of the revolters of Mo rocco ; the latter are in the west of the empire, and Abd-el-Kader has taken up his quarters on the territory of an eastern tribe which has given him hospitality. He possesses no serious party in the adjoining country. The Beni Senassens, the most powerful tribe in that quarter, refused to afford him any armed assistance. They hays , received him as a Marabout returning from the sacred war, which they are determined not to renew on his ace ount. We pledge ourselves for the accuracy of the above details, which are dated the 20th of Septem ber. We soon expect other facts from the same authen tic source-. We shall confine ourselves to observe at pre sent tinat Ain Madhi, where Abd-el-Kader was reported to have appeared, is 150 leagues distant from the point where be has resided during the last six weeks." A lette.r from Tangiers, dated the 19th ult , which appears in the Journal des Debats says :—" At pre sent a fugitive and without partisans, ABD-EI•KADER expiates his ridiculous pretensions and the intrigues which he has excited against us in the country. It is not known here where he is at present. After the battle oi' Isly he proceeded in the direction Of Melilla .on the northern coast, to a powerful and fa natical 'tribe. Since then it is said that he has gone towards the south of the empire. The Pacha of LARA caE declares that, being pursued by the nu- PEW:M.'S black guards, he has taken refuge in the desert;." The following is the latest grievance dis cover ed by the National " Ficnne yvas since enormetis auras were Toted by the Chambers for the construction of Transatlantic steam boats. These boats are built, and are suffered to remain unarmed in the ports of Rochefort, L'Orient, Brest, Cherbourg, Toulon, and Judret. There were fourteen of 450-horse power ; but the Groenland having been lost, there remains but thirteen—viz., the Albatros, the Cacique, the Canada, the Caraibe, the Christophe Co lomb, the Darien, the Eldorado, the Labrador, the Ma gellan, the Montezuma, the Oronoque, the Panama, and the Utica. Four others are of 220-horse power—the Caiman, the El2u, the Espadon, and the Phoque. The steam-boats of 450-horse power are pierced for four guns and two swivels, the others carry two guns and two swivels. It may be said, that since 1830 a malevolent genius has laboured to exhaust our resources and pre vent us from possessing an army or a navy." THE BOURSE-WEDNESDAY, OCT. 2. First Highest Lowest Price.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. Consols leave off at 1004 for Money, and 1.004 for Account, being very firm. There was no alteration in the other English investments. _ _ Spanish Bonds were at 241 for the Five per Cents., and 35i for the Three per Cents.; Mexican were 351; Portuguese Converted, 49 to 1; Colombian, 141; and Belgian, lOn to 1041. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these :—Birmingham and Gloucester were 6 ; Dublin and Belfast, 21; Great Western, Fifths, 14k; Kendal and Windermere, 2+; Lancaster and Carlisle, 4; Birmingham, Thirds, 34k; Croydon, 24 to i; London and York, 11; Midland, 10; North British, 1; Northern and Eastern Quarter, 48 to i; South Devon, 4i; South- Eastern, 7 to k; York and North Midland, 55; Ditto Selby Scrip, 38i ; Central of France, 1+ ; and Boulogne and Amiens, to 1 premium.

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was in the same position, but sales were not pressed; 5,000 bags were purchased.—There was rather more demand for Railway Shares, and the market was firmer.

Late advices, both by direct arrivals and per Over land Mail, have been received from Australia, and like those recently come to hand, they indicated rather a better state of things. From South Australia they write :—" It gives us much pleasure to hear that a part of the Rivoli Bay country is at last about to be occupied from the South Australian side. The first party, con sisting of Messrs. Leake and Scott, with about 10,000 sheep, and upwards of twenty men, have started for that country, and, we presume, many others will soon follow. Messrs. Hallett have also secured extensive runs at Mount Bryan, and intend im mediately to send their sheep, consisting of seve ral thousand?, to that district. Mount Bryan is about 100 miles from Messrs. Hallet's present station, and 140 miles from town. At one time these gentlemen thought that no one would go beyond their present runs at the Wiltshire survey for many years ; at this moment, how ever, probably the greater part of the sheep in the co lony are beyond that limit. • It is evident that the sheep are increasing beyond all calculation, and it is to be hoped that the anticipations of an extensive country on the eastern boundary may be fully realised. Messrs. C. Campbell and Ellis recently explored a part of the coun try to the west of Port Lincoln, but we have heard no authentic report of the result of their visit—we trust it is favourable." From the Cape of Good Hope, under date of July 28, we learn that the Caffres continued their thefts and out rages ; and that the inhabitants were kept in constant alarm, although 'no general irruption was anticipated, The value of property, owing to the increase of the popu lation, was gradually rising. The circular of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury, now before us, states that merchandise is unaffected by the low rate of interest on money, though the capital embarked in new railways must benefit the manufac turers. There is a good home trade doing. The Funds are higher again, and some good purchases have been made in New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. for - the opening, so that the market value of that security is about 1021 to 1031. The Commissioners have given 1001 for their parcel of Consols, and for time the rates have again advanced to ipoi Exchequer Bills are steady, at 745. to 765. premium. Nothing has been done in Bank or India Stocks, and the market looks very quiet. The Foreign Investments are also very inactive. Dutch Bonds have been very firm ; the Two-and-a- Half per Cents. at 62/ to 62k, and the Five per Cents. at 981 to 98. The conversion plans seem to be favourably construed. Spanish Active Bonds are 241, and the Three per Cents. 351 to 1. Portuguese Converted obtain 49. Mexican are 351, and Columbian 141. Brazil Stock is 871. For Railway Shares, there is a fair market generally, and where holders yield a little, sales are not difficult to effect. The French lines are looking up. Joint-stock Banks and Mines continue dull.

DEPARTURE OF THE QUEEN FROM SCOTLAND. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite left Blair Athol at nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, passed through Dunkeld and Cupar Angus, and reached Dundee at half-past three. Her Majesty was re ceived by the local authorities, several of whom, in cluding the Provost and magistrates, had gone for ward to Lochee to meet the royal cavalcade ; but some accident happened to the vehicle which contained the Provost and his companions, and they were ac cordingly prevented from taking their part in the pageant. On arriving at the superb structure in the form of a triumphal arch, which was erected on the occasion of her Majesty's landing here, her Majesty was loudly applauded by the people. Her Majesty wore a black silk dress and black bonnet, with a shepherd's plaid thrown over her shoulders. The Prince was attired in half mourning, as was also the Princess Royal, who accompanied her royal parents as they walked through the reckless crowds who thronged the quays in unrestrained disorder. At the top of the quay Dean of Guild Thorns apo logised to her Majesty for the absence of the Pro vost, and the greedy crowd, who are no respecters of persons, and do not recognise the divinity which hedges a Sovereign, began to press in upon her Ma jesty in awful confusion. Her Majesty preserved her courage in the midst of all this danger, which cer tainly reflected much disgrace upon the authorities. The 60th Rifles, however, who formed the guard of honour at the Pierhead, seeing the imminence of the danger, and the palpable insufficiency of the Dog berries and Verges, who quietly permitted this dis graceful scene to continue, came down towards the floating pier, and kept the profanum vulgus at bay with their bayonets. With the crowd still passing around her, however, her Majesty took a cordial farewell of Lord Glenlyon, and he called out for the Hon. Captain James Mur ray, who came forward, and was warmly shaken by the hand by her Majesty, and the Prince. Captain Murray followed her Majesty to Woolwich in the Eclair. Her Majesty having once more bid adieu to Lord Glenlyon and his brother, Prince Albert led the Princess Royal down to the pier, and Lord Charles Wellesley and Sir E. Bowater handed her Majesty to the barge, in which Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence was in waiting to receive his illustrious charge. The barge was then rowed off to the royal yacht, which was smoking away in the offing; and within half an hour the squadron got under weigh and steamed down the Frith of Tay. After a boisterous passage the fleet reached the Nore at half-past nine on Thursday morning. On passing Sheerness the Victoria and Albert was saluted by the Camperdown flag-ship, moored at the mouth of the Medway. Off Shellhaven the royal yacht lay too and awaited the arrival of the Black Eagle, which up to this point had been about a mile in the rear. Here the latter vessel took the lead, piloting the route of the Victoria and Albert thenceforward to Woolwich. The William Joliffe, Calais boat, the Red Rover, the Duchess of Kent, and several other steamers met the royal squadron in Gravesend Reach, and saluted the presence of her Majesty, their respective crews cheering the royal party (who still remained on deck) most enthusiastically. Ihe squadron arrived off Gravesend at a quarter past twelve o'clock, and were received with a royal salute from Tilbury Fort. Salutes were also fired from batteries stationed at the various pier-heads; and the progress of the royal yacht was observed by many thousand spectators, who thronged every available point along the shore from whence a glimpse could be obtained. The run from Gravesend to Woolwich occupied about one hour and a half. THE MA - MS.—SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 3.—The Royal West India mail-packet the Dee left the river at 4 A.m. this day, with the South Am er i can an d W es t India mails ; she was detained here sin ce y ester d a y in conse quence of the mails from London not arriving until the 12 o'clock train last night. The Dee has 108 passen gers, 100 bottles of quicksilver, and 6,2241. in m oney. The Oriental Company's steam-ship Oriental. Captain Soy, left the docks this day at 4 o'clock for Alexandria, carrying out the East India and China mails, also 130 passengers and a very full cargo of bale goods. The Peninsular Company's steam-packet Royal Tar, Captain Evans, left the docks at 3 o'clock this day for Gibraltar, with the Peninsular and Mediterranean mails. The Royal Tar has 131 passengers, including 99 men, con sisting of Sappers and Miners, for Gibraltar. This town has been extremely full for the last two days, in conse quence of the vast numbers of passengers embarking, together with their friends to see them off. MRS. NISBETT.—It is said that the gentleman of high rank in the Customs, to whom this celebrated and accomplished actress is reported to be about to be united, and in consequence of which she will n ot again resume her professional duties, is Sir William Boothby, Bart., the Receiver-General of her Majesty's Customs, a gen tleman possessed of considerable private fortune, in ad dition to the emolum e nts arising from his official situa tion. If the report be correct, though her loss to the stage, of which sh e was so great an ornament, will Le much regretted, the public will doubtless be glad to find. she has made so g oo d an e xchange for the anxieties and labours of a professional life. Tua ROYAL ALBERT. —On the 26th of August, 1842, the hull of a first-rate man-of-war, of 120 guns, was laid down under the superintendence of Mr. Laing. The frame is now half completed, and it is expected will be finished by the end of the year. This noble vessel will be larger in dimensions than any other ship ever built in the world, and seven hundred tons more than the Trafalgar, at present the largest ship in the British navy. Sir George Cockburn and Admiral Sir William Gage inspected the building yesterday morning, and both gallant officers expressed in warm terms their admira tion of her appearance. This ship is being built on a new and improved system, and in a stronger and firmer manner than any other vessel which has been constructed. THE VICTORIA PARK.—PUBLIC BATHS.—A Com munication is said to have been made from the Directors of the East London Water-works to her Majesty's Com missioners of Woods and Forests, in which the former very liberally offer to supply two or more fountains in the Victoria Park with an abundant quantity of water gratuitously, provided it is subsequently permitted to flow into public baths to be erected in the vicinity for the use and accommodation of the poor. Several benevolent gentlemen, at the head of whom is W. Cotton, Esq., the Governor of the Bank, are at present projecting a plan for the erection of baths at the east end of the metro polis, where the poorer classes of society may b e ena bl e d to obtain luxuries so conducive to health, and of which they are at present totally deprived, at a charge com mensurate with their means. GLASS BEADS.—Application having been made to the Customs' authorities for the delivery of a large parcel of beads or bugles of glass, the same having been pierced half way through for the purpose of being formed into breast pins, brooches, and necklaces, of which articles large quantities are now imported, and sold in the ar cads and bazaars in town and country, which had been entered as "glass beads" at the duty of ad. per lb., but which the examining officers had detained as being liable to the duty on " flint and cut glass," orders have been issued for the geods to be deli ve red as " glass beads," as entered, the Board considering that they had been cor rectly described by the importers, and directions have been given to the officers to govern themselves in all fu ture importations of the article accordingly.

She shipped several he av y seas , which, with the heaving of the vessel, occasioned the death of no fewer than twelve oxen out of sixty-two, the number shipped at Rotterdam. The B a t av i er a l so brought sixty prime sheep , being the first importation of the Dutch fleecy flock. She also brought a large quantity of live poiltry, geese, &c. The passengers reaped the advantages of the new Custom-hou se regula tion, relative to the examination of their luggage. Addi tional landing waiters and weighers having been in attendance on the arrival of the Batavier, the passengers' luggage was all examined, &c., in little more than one third of the time usually taken.

RUMOURED MARRIAGE OF PRINCE GEORGE OF CAMBRIDGE AND THE ARCHDUCHESS OLGA OF RUSSIA. RUSSIAN FRONTIER, SEPT. 21.—The report which has been for some time past in circulation of a marriage of the Grand Duchess Olga to Prince George of Cam_ bridge has of late become so derided that I think it ought not any longer to be passed over in silence. It is considered as one of the results of the visit of the Em peror of Russia to London, and as the commencement of a more intimate alliance between Russia and England. As the Crown Prince of Hanover has no children the Duke of Cambridge is the presumptive heir to the throne of Hanover. Meantime the preliminary position of the parties is said to be perfectly arranged. Count Nessel rode will return by way of Hanover, where he will have an interview with Baron Afeyondorff. BRUSSELS, OCT I.—The average price of wheat last week was 19f., and that of rye, 10f. 48c. per hectolitre. The importation remains at 37f. 50e. and 21f. 50c. respec tively per 1,000 kilogrammes, and the export duty at 28 centimes on both wheat and rye. The Belgian sloop Ceres has just arrived at Ostend from London, with a cargo of guano. Yesterday the beautiful steamer the British Queen, belonging to the Belgian Government, was sold at Ant werp by public auction. It was sold to M.Vande Leem put for 170,500 francs, and the expenses for the vessel and its inventory. The furniture of the steamer will be sold shortly. In consequence of the disorders which lateiy took place at Verviers, the members of those families which were particularly exposed to insult on that occasion ap pear to have resolved to withdraw entirely from public life. Thus, Viscount Brollery has resigned the post of President of the Harmony Society, Mr. Adolphus Simonis quits the Society of Vocal Music and the Florticultural Society, of which he had been President from their first institution, and Mr. Iwan Brolley has retires from the Chamber of Commerce. Many reports have been circulated of a supposed in tention of the King of the French to come to Belgium after his visit to the Queen of England, and some persons even pretend to know that he will not come to Brussels. All these reports are without foundation. AUSTRIAN FUNDS.—VIENNA, Stun'. 25. Five per Cents.

The REVISING BARRISTER, on his taking his seat yes: terday, gave judgment in several cases, with respect to which he had reserved his decision. The revision of the lists of voters for the following parishes was then proceeded with, viz., St. Botolph and St. Bride, St. Dunstan-in-the -West, the precincts of Bridewell and Whitefriars, All llallows, St. Ed mund the King, St. Gabriel (Fenchurch-street), St. Mary Woolnoth, St. Nicholas, &c. THE ENER TEMPLE.—A question of some impor tance came before the Revising Barrister yesterday. On the list of St. Dunstan in the West being pre sented, _ Mr. Quin, who appeared for the Conservatives, ob jected to the reception of the list of the Inner Temple. He grounded his objection on the 27th section of the Act of Parliament, which provided that in cases of extra-parochial places adjoining two parishes the lists of such places should be published on the church doors of the least populous parish of the two. The Inner Temple adjoined the two parishes of St. Dun stan in the West and Whitefriars. By the census it appeared that the parish of Whitefriars was the least populous of the two. The list of the Inner Temple however, was published on the' door of the church of St. Dunstan. Before the 6th of Victoria such an ob jection as this would have had the effect of disfran chishing the place, but such would not be the case now, as was shown by the Hull scrutiny case. A list was rejected on the same grounds as those upon which the present objection was made, and shortly afterwards an election took place. Those persons whose names appeared on the rejected list tendered their votes, but they were refused. A scrutiny, how ever, took place before the House of Commons, and the votes were allowed by the Committee. Mr. Wansey contended that the publication on the church doors of the Temple Church was quite sufficient. The REVISING BARRISTBR said this was a very im portant question. Upon looking into the different provisions of the Act of Parliament, it appeared to him that a case like the present one had been contem plated. It was clearly in evidence that the Inner Temple was a place contemplated in the 22d section of the Act, as it was a place extra-parochial, and had no overseers of the poor. It joined two parishes, both situated within the boundary of the City, and conse quently the list ought to be published in the least po pulous of the two. Now, the least populous parish was that of Whitefriars, and it was clear from the general tenour of the Act that the list of the Inner Temple ought to have been published by the over seers of the parish of Whitefriars. The answer of Mr. Wansey went for nothing, as the publication of the list by an unknown person was no publication at all. He (the Revising Barrister) was therefore cotn pelled to come to the conclusion that the 27th section of the Act had not been complied with, and he must refuse to receive the list, and the consequence would be that the list of last year would stand good for the next. OTTER HUNTING IN THE SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Some few weeks since a very fine otter 1 1 escaped from his cage in these gardens, and took refuge in the lake, which being amply stocked with fish—carp, tench, &c.—afforded him a tine treat. All manner of methods were tried to catch him, but without success ; but at last his appetite took a higher flight, and he fan cied the gold-fish, two or three dozen of which he de voured in one night. This was rather too expensive a treat for the proprietor, and he determined to make a last attempt at trapping him. A trap, prepared and baited with a perfect bonne bouche, was placed in his track, and last evening he was taken under the or chestra, but, such was his ferocity that the trap (a strong wire one) was nearly destroyed before he could be placed in his old domicile. He is much improved in size and weight since he escaped, and seems perfectly recon ciled to the restraint under which he is again placed. PEDESTRIAN FEAT.—Thursday a match for 51. came off in the Park-road, Clapham, which drew together a good sprinkle of spectators. The feat was to pick 100 stones from the ground, each being placed a yard apart ; the match was undertaken by Collis, who went at his task, commencing at the far end (the stipulations were, not to fetch more than one stone at a time, and to deposit it in a basket at one end, the whole to be completed in fifty minutes.) He worked hard for forty-four minutes, when he accomplished the match, and winning by six minutes. The distance actually run over was five miles, five furlongs, and 200 yards, SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Pubitt ptnton. " Who runs may read" POSIZIGN.
