In the last number of the Edinburgh Review there is an article entitled "The Results of Tory Rule," which is penned in a moderate and—considering that the writer is a partisan of the Whigs—an impartial spirit, giving all due credit to the Ministry where credit is due, and pointing out their numerous errors frankly and boldly, without, however, indulging in the slightest exaggeration or acrimony. In the course of this article, the Reviewer makes one or two remarks, which, at the present crisis, are worthy of particular attention. " The growing inattention," he observes, " manifested by both Houses to the performance of their functions, is, we know, daily more and more complained of ; and this subject is of infinitely greater moment than it is generally considered to be. Tl - 1, respect and confidence which the public have been ac customed to feel for the deliberations and decisions of Parliament are, indeed, lamentably diminished. The keen interest which its proceedings formerly ex cited, exists no longer. Even the ambition to obtain a seat in Parliament is lessened ; the difficulty of in ducing well-qualified candidates to come forward is complained of; and the whole relations between the public and both Houses are, we grieve to say, altered for the worse. The tone in which public affairs are discussed, is lowered, and a languid indifference is, by degrees, extending its chilling influence over the representatives of the people and the people themselves." Disheartening as is the tone of these remarks, no one can deny that they have their foundation in truth. The deep interest with which the public use d to re gard the proceedings of their representatives in Parliament has of late—that is to say, since the accession of the Tory party to office—given place to a sort of phlegmatic indiffer ence, which is one of the most dangerous symptoms that the popular mind can possibly exhibit. Through out the last session, this indifference on the part of the people was specially marked, aad towards the close, men seemed to think no more of what was doing in Parliament than if there had been no such institu tion in existence. A slight stir, indeed, was created by Sir ROBERT PEEL'S announcement of his intention to prepare, during the recess, some remedial measures for the benefit of Ireland, for which he was paid in advance by the applause of the Liberals ; but if we except this momentary excitement, nothing could be more humiliating nothing more d ec id e d th an the generalindifference which existed when the House of Commons closed its labours for the year. There must be some cause for this apathy on the part ' of the people, and that cause may, we think, be found in the conduct which our Conservative Government has thought fit to pursue since it first established it self in snug quarters in Downing -street. Instead of steering its course by the steady light of' principle, it has allowed itself to be led out of the right track by the ignis fatuus of expediency. It was placed in office by the energetic efforts of the Monopolists, under a firm conviction which those bigoted and weak-minded men entertained, that it would do their bid- ding promptly, cheerfully, and successfully. In stead of this, however, no sooner was it fairly installed in power, than it began to look coolly on its supporters, and even attempted to kick down the ladder by which it had risen. The principles it professed on the hustings were all for gotten. The measures which it had scouted in oppo sition, were fostered the instant it had taken up its position on the right hand of the Speaker's chair. From having been the partizan of Monopoly, Govern ment became all at once an advocate for "free trade in th© abstract." It had previously lent a willing ear to the sophistries of Mr. BAKES. It now listened with deference to the suggestions of Mr. Conn Ex. By such equivocal--such shuffling conduct it succeeded in alienating one large portion of the community—namely, the Monopolists, while it failed in securing the confidence of another numerous body—viz., the Free-traders. Both equally felt that it was making a tool of them— countenancing or discountenancing them, just accord ing as it suited its own interested views; consequently, both hold it in distrust, and despairing just at present of obtaining a change of administration, have fallen into a state of calm indifference from which we see no immediate prospect of their being roused. The equivocal proceedings of Government are, we contend, the chief cause of the existing apathy of the people, and this apathy bids fair to continue so long as Sir ROBERT YELL sees fit to legislate on what he calls, the " expediency system." Expediency! We contemn and abhor the phrase. It is in direct antagonism to principle, and is in too many instances the pretext put forth by knaves to justify their most indefensible practices. The two besetting sins, and most characteristic distinctions of our days, are, certainly, cant and cox combry. A. meddling patronage-jobbing Prelate is the type of the one—a ceremonial-loving, priestcraft preaching parson of the other. Of such Prelates, the " Church-multiplying-principle" Bishop of LONDON— and of such parsons, the Puseyite crotchetty Vicar of Ware, are about the most obtrusive examples that occur to us. The readers of The Sun cannot have forgotten the account we gave some months ago, of the rise and progress of the parochial polemics which had then involved, and have ever since retained, the contumacious vicar and his offended parishioners in terms of mutual but most unseemly dissatisfaction with one another. The Bishop, being appealed to by the men of Ware, did interpose, to some extent, be tween them and their pastor ; but so reluctantly and ungraciously, that, like a certain other peace-maker, his intervention did but " worse embroil the fray." The churchwardens addressed a respectful letter to his Lordship. The Right Reverend Father snubbed the churchwardens in reply, with no more of forbearance or meekness than one of his prelatical predecessors would have exhibited to a body of disputatious lay men in the palmiest days of the Popedom. The churchwardens renewed their representations ; but brought down only a rude and ill-bred notice from the Right Reverend " CHARLES JAMES'S" secretary, haughtily intimating—if we rightly remember— that the churchwardens, having thought fit to publish their correspondence with that gentle Bishop, with out previous permission obtained from him, his spi ritual Lordship declined to favour them with (the or dinary civility of) an answer. Therefore the church wardens and the parishioners, who were of the Esta blished Church, left to their own remedy, and finding the vicar inflexible in his resolution to uphold the literal injunctions of the Rubric, even as to those ob servances which they deemed most offensive to the opinions of the great bulk of the Church in the pre sent day, and utterly opposed to the practice of its ministers during the last century and a half, had re course to other modes of proceeding. They required that, having declared himself bound by the letter of the Rubric in all things, he should in all things con- form his official deportment to it, and, inter alia, pub • licly catechise the children of the parishioners after the second lesson. This observance the vicar could not well escape from, and therefore complied with, until almost a month ago, when he discontinued it, on an alleged pretext which will be found to form the main subject of a further correspondence, terminating only a few days ago, that we print in another column. From this last correspondence it will be seen that, notwithstanding the lofty pretensions of indefeasible religious duty and solemn convictions, operating with the Puseyite vicar to follow the letter of the Rubric "even in the event of his being enjoined to the con trary" by his spiritual Lordship, they have not been sufficiently founded in the good faith of primitive Christianity, or the stern truthfulness of a pure mo rality, to induce the Rev. Gentleman to redeom his own pledge to his parishioners (as to his concurring in the certain conciliatory " arrangement" referred to in Mr. COBHAM'S letter to the Bishop), or to with hold him from starting, at the eleventh hour, a pe- cuniary diffwulty, of his own suggestion, as the flimsy plea for his departure from his reverend word. This fact supplies "/3 mot d'enigme." Nothing can exceed the Lord Bishop of LONDON'S disinterested anxiety to multiply new churches within his diocese, except — his interested anxiety to secure the presentation pa tronage which they give him. So this reverend vicar, Mr. CoreneoTores, enthusiastic reverence for the Rubric commentary on a discipline and doctrine of which the ritual enjoins, among other things, a lowly and charitable bearing on the part of the minister to I I his flock—is to be moved from the inflexible ad hesion of a Puseyite "purist" to the letter—of his own undertaking, by a "pecuniary difficulty." We are really disgusted with the disgraceful exhibitions which this fashionable purism—this " favourite fancy" of fanatical incumbents and ambitious prelates, whose bowels yearn for the re-installation of Romish power, with Romish forms, in the ministers of the altar— this vain and insidious Puseyism, in short, is con stantly tempting our Protestant Churchmen to make of themselves. The evils it works to the cause of the " Reformed Church as by law established"— an epithet of constitutional modification which your Puseyites naturally detest—are incalculable. Whole congregations desert her service, and are forgetting her communion. In another town of Hertfordshire, not long since, the offended parishioners fitted up a Dissenting meeting-house, we are told, for the cele bration of the form of worship which should have been presided over by their minister ; but he had become tainted with this spiritual coxcombry—(we know no better designation for it). And when the Church at large finds its own Prelates abetting the mischief— like our sleek Bishop, in his correspondence with Mr. COBHAM, as representative of the churchwardens of Ware—it will soon begin to doubt how far its alle giance can be tendered to a hierarchy of which some leading members so ill discharge the reciprocal duties of protecting it from vain and schismatic innovations, whether of ceremony or of doctrine ; and of meek and Christian patience and gentleness in communing with their flocks. Does the Bishop of LONDON prefer to aid the peace of the Church or the progress of Puseyism ? Do his notions of pastoral love and epis copal responsibility attach the stronger claims upon his countenance and favour to the respectful but earnest remonstrances of a congregation, devoted to the religion, and the modes of worship, adopted by them, after their forefathers, for many past generations ; —or to the fussy mummery of a Pusey-struck vicar ? Does the Right Rev. Prelate opine that the Church was instituted for the people, or for its bishops ? Does he hold it better, wiser, more Christian-like, to vindicate the freaks of this Mr. CODDINOTON, or to cut off from the Church the congregation she has hitherto possessed at Ware ? 'Will ho have Puseyism or Protestantism ? The Paris journals, for want of a better subject, still keep up the war with each other about the result of LOUIS PHILIPPE'S Visit to England. The Globe thus attacks certain ill-natured comments in Queen CHRISTINA'S journal the Presse, and with some effect. These malignant war journals vainly claim the merit of representing the feeling of universal France : " The LORD MAYOR of London, in having done to wards the King of the FRENCH what has never been done for any Sovereign, by going out of the City, and carrying to Windsor the expression of the sympathies of the great capital towards his Majesty of FRANCB, has, in the opinion of the Presse, done nothing more than an act of com mon politeness, which established no distinction between the visit t o E u an d t h e v i s it t o Wi n d sor ; and an e a x n c y l o exclaims—' s think— ' of iit'.'

It was in the common order of things that where insanity was in a family that there should be members of it in a perfectly sound state of fined himself within his city, we should have bad war pro claimed against all England to teach him his duty. The Debats considers that the shouts of Vire la Reined' Angleterre, uttered by the French squadron, was the faithful expression of the sentiments of France. No I that is false ! replies the Presse, and attempts, as follows, to prove it so. At the discussion of the next address, it says, the Ministry will not again talk of the entente cordiale, or if it does the Chamber will modify the paragraph more essentially than last year. What other answer can be given to this than that the Ministry will again talk of the entente cordiale , and that the Chamber would not modify the paragraph more essentially than last year. What will the Presse say then ? Why, if that hap pens, as we do not doubt it will, the Presse will say that the manifestation of the Chambers is not the THIS DAY'S NEWS. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS). IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS FRIEND. The insolvent, an appraiser, at Canterbury, applied by his counsel, Mr. Hughes, for his final order, and was opposed by Mr. Sturgeon, on the part of Mr. Delausuix, a creditor to the amount of above 301. The circum stances were these. The insolvent had accepted two bills of the respective sums of 201 and 101. in favour of a Mr. Baker, and had upon these bills paid three instalments. They had been, at a subsequent period, passed into the hands of the opposing creditor in this case, who brought an action against Mr. Friend in the Sheriffs' Court at Greenwich, for the amount. The defendant entered a plea that he had not accepted the said bills, but was cast in the amount at issue, namely, about 151., with 191. of costs. The insolvent was this day opposed on the plea of vexatious defence in that action. Mr. Hughes said, that if an adjournment were given he should prove by the evidence of Mr. Baker, that the insolvent's debt to him had been but 31, and that was, therefore, all the amount the bills really carried when paid over to Mr. Delausuix. All things considered, he did not think the defence before the Sheriff a vexatious one; and were the whole case properly sifted, lie did not doubt that the Hon. Commissioner would come to the conclusion that the insolvent was, in truth, an injured man. Sir C. WILLIAms said, that iu order to give him every chance, he should adjourn the passing of the final order till Friday next, when they might produce Baker in evidence. mind.

The reconstruction of the Polytechnic School, which excited considerable interest throughout France, has not yet been finally decided. We may infer, how ever, from the following remarks of the Journal des Debats, that the severity with which the ardent spirits of that establishment was threatened will be greatly mitigated, and perhaps a general amnesty granted. The youths of the Polytechnic had a hand in the days of July, and were the foremost in every attack upon despotism : " Several journals have announced that the commission aapointed to re-organise the Polytechnic School proposes to exclude a certain number of the pupils sent away in August last, some saying 70, others 20 or 30. We do not believe this news to be exact : we do not think the commission has had any occasion to make a proposition of the kind, and we are of opinion that a partial exclu sion would be but little just, and not handsomely done. The Polytechnic School is not to be decimated : deci mation is not the custom of our time. The fault, for we acknowledge that some existed, was common to all ; the measure of exclusion ought therefore to be general. But that would, in truth, be to punish with a rigour which belongs neither to our epoch nor our Government. It is just to add besides, that except the passing infringement of discipline, of which the pupils were not perhaps the most culpable, the conduct of these young men was ad mirable. We persist, therefore, in believing that the school will be re-opened to all. If there are to be any changes to make either in discipline or in the system of studies, let them be made ; that will be good and useful, whereas it would be unjust to make some bear the fault of all, and cruel to punish 300 families and 300 young men full of promise, for a moment's error. If the school needs an amnesty, never will an amnesty have been more happily applied. A journal makes this remark, and wee willingly adopt it." The Constitutionnel contains the following biogra phical and political details of the new Austrian Am bassador to the Court of St. James. Whatever sub ject this journal writes upon, England is sure to be mixed up with it in an invidious sense : " Count Maurice Dietrichatein, who has just been ap pointed Ambassador from the Court of Vienna to that of London, belongs to one of the highest families of the Austrian empire. His father, at one time Minister of Francis IL, was the Governor of the Duke of Reich stadt, and with whom the new Ambassador passed the days of his youth. Count Maurice is still young for the eminent post to which he is called, being only forty years old at the utmost. He for several years was Chargé d'Affaires at the Court of King Leopold, who re ceived him into his intimacy. His nomination may be taken as a symptom of the decline of the influence of Prince Metternich at the Court of Vienna. The father of Count Maurice is, in fact, on the line of aspirers to the political succession of the Prince Chancellor, with whom he, in a measure, stands in rivalry, since the Prince has refused to give one of his daughters in mar riage to the new Ambassador. For a long time Austria has had no Ambassador at the Court of Queen Victoria. The policy of England, whether the Tories or the Whigs be in power, will always be to give checkmate to France, by opposing to her the fasces of the great European powers. Austria is at this time making advances to the British Cabinet, of which it will not fail to take advant age, in spite of all the cordialities of Windsor." The Siècle gives the following statements respecting the new French loan : "It appears the Minister of Finance is determined to dispose immediately of the second series of the loan, and that it is to be made by a creation of Three per i Cent. Stock. The sole question to be determined is-- whether the amount of the loan is to be 150 or 300 millions. That will depend, probably, on the courage of the contractors. The immediate conclusion of the loan will have the unpleasant consequence of adjourning the conversion of 'the Five per Cents. for two or three years. We `deplore this bitterly. The immediate re mission of 81:4000,000 Dutch Rents in Two-and-a-Half per Cent.--Stock is announced. Between French and Dutch Stock the Stock-Exchange is about - to have an abundant harvest, which will no doubt calm the senseless taste which has arisen for new shares, or promises of new shares." *, The Madrid mail of the 15th, had not reached Paris at the usual hour of post. Some attributed this to bad weather, and others to a rising of the Carlists. Letters from Perpignan state that Generals AMETTLER and SANTA CRUZ, together with filki Captains of the Progesista party, had been arresf , 4 by the French Douaniers just as they were about to enter Spain.

Two little boys, named Evans and Jones, who are known to the police, were brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with having two valuable jewel-cases in their possession without being able to give an account of how they came by them. The officer saw Evans in St. Martin's-lane showing one of the cases, which was elegantly fitted up, and covered with crimson velvet, to the ether prisoner. Suspecting that it had been stolen, lie took them to the station house, and upon Jones being searched the other case was found upon him. The cases were not at all soiled, and there was every reason to believe that they had been re cently stolen. Mr. TwvFoRD said lie had no doubt that the jewels for which the cases had been made had also been stolen. The prisoners, in their defence, said that a man had given them the cases to hold. They were remanded till Saturday. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. OLD COUR T. At ten o'clock this ,morning Mr. Justice Maule and Mr. Baron Rolfe took their seats on the Bench. THE SLAVE-TRADING CASE.' The COURT gave judgment to-day upon the points raised by counsel on behalf of Captain Jenkins, the commander of the vessel supposed to be a slaver, in con ❑exion with which the trial of Mr. Zulueta took place some time ago at the Old Bailey, and decided that some of the counts were good, and that the trial must take place. THE CASE OF THE HON. WM. ROSS TOU CHET, BROTHER OF LORD AUDLEY. After the above case had be©n disposed of, the lion. Mr. Touchet was !placed at the bar, charged with shoot ing at Mr Thos. Smith, on the 6th of last July, with in tent to kill him. Mr. Charnock conducted the prosecution ~ Mr. Clark son and Mr. Bodkin were retained for the defence. Mr. CHARNOCK having briefly stated the case, as de tailed in the following evidence, said in conclusion, that he understood the defence in this case would be that of insanity. If that were so, the jury would require to be satisfied on that peint, and it would not be enough that the prisoner was insane at that time—it should bo shown that he was so at the time he committed the act fort which he was brought before them that day. He felt it due to the prosecutor on this occasion to say that he was not actuated by any vindictive feelings ; and however cala mitous the occurrence was to him, he did not harbour any ill feelings towards the prisoner ; but he thought it a matter due to the public that the subject should be investigated in a court of justice. The following evidence was then adduced : Thomas Smith, who seemed to be labouring from the effects of his wound, was the first witness called and sworn—l reside at 288, High Holborn. I keep a shoot ing gallery there. On the 6th of last July the prisoner came to my premises. I was in the gallery. That is a place where persons practise pistol and rifle shooting. I had a son. His name was Alfred. The prisoner asked me if be could be accommodated with a brace of duelling pistols. I said you can, sir. I gave him one pistol. It was loaded with ball. I loaded it myself. He fired that off. He complained that the pistol threw off too hard, and wished for one that would go easier. I gay .H e hime said the second pistol, which off he too e lso fired. easy. off he then asked for one loaded as the first, which I gave him ; ho fired it off and hit the mark. He was distant thirty yards from it. I then gave him a fourth pistol. I loaded it. I proceeded to load a fifth, and stood about two yards from him. I did did not feel anything till I was shot. I fell down, and said " Good God, I am shot," and could not speak any more. A medical man was sent for • the ball was extracted five weeks afte rwards. I am still labouring under the effects of the wound. Alfred Smith, the son of the last witness, was called— I saw the different pistols fired. My father was standing in the loading-ring. I saw the prisoner turn round and deliberately shoot my father. My father fell, and said, "Good God, I am shot in the back." My father said, " You rascal, why did you shoot me ? " He said, " I did it on purpose, I wish to be hanged." I went for a policeman. Adolphus Lonsdale, a police constable, proved that he was called into the shooting-gallery.. He saw the pri soner leaning against the bench. I asked him why he shot Mr. Smith. He said he was tired of his life, and wished to be hung. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—He stood with his arms folded when I went in. George Royde, house-surgeon to Bartholomew's Hos pital, examined—Thomas Smith was admitted into the hospital on the 6th. The wound was in the right of the spine and above the loin. I probed the wound, and found a t hard body. ' On the 6th of July a small piece of bone was extracted, and also a bullet. On the 14th of July apiece of cloth came away of its own accord. He is still labouring under the effects of the wound. He is not altogether outiofdanger. He is not fit for bUilineks. This being the case for the prosecution, Mr. CLARKSON addressed the jury for the defendant, and said that he did not mean to dispute the facts which were adduced in evidence. His object was to show that at the time of this accident Mr. Touchet was of unsound mind, and he could not but help thinking that when the jury had heard the evidence they would be of that opi nion. The first thing that would strike the jury in this rwas that there was no earthly motive why the pri ,er should have committed this act, nor could it be itCounted for on any other principle than that he was t of sane mind at the time. If he was to be believed himself, he committed the act in order to be hanged. But he would not rest the case on that point, however strong., but would call before the jury the persons who were best acquainted with the prisoner. He would call Lord Audley himself, and several physicians, who would describe the state of the prisoner's mind. The prisoner was the second son of the late Lord Audley. He was now little more than twenty years of age. The late Lord Audley had entered into speculations upon his estates in Ireland, the result of which turned out to be most unfortunate. The va ni l f ty a h m roo i n l p y i et w h e er m e i turn, n r a e dn d od u f c cih e tu d eheens toetel prisoner. the ceodm g t po r l e aa a vi t e Hno eisi avoid s traits, and this circumstance seemed to have i He e nt f i r n e ually brooding over pressed e e m k o s a t m he i a s aolfl painintercourse h w e i a th d, s a oe n i ( l t w y a . s the circumstance that the family could not hold that position in society to which their rank entitled them. The prisoner was the descendant of Sir Ross Donelly by his mother ; and there was no doubt that he was a con firmed lunatic. He mentioned this to show the proba bility that the prisoner might have inherited this malady from his maternal grandfather. He had declared that ho would commit a similar act again, and said he could not prevent himself from doing so. Lord Audley was then called and examined—The pri soner is my brother. He will be twenty-three next November. Before my father died, his property was the subject of considerable litigation ; practically it was adverse to my family, and has left them in very em barrassed circumstances. The prisoner has been from his youth a person of a susceptible mind. I recollect the loss of a young friend of his, named Weston ; it seemed to make a very strong impression on him—stronger than on persons generally. The circumstances of the family weighed upon his mind, and disposed him to notice things which other persons would not. I saw him fre quently in 1842. He came to London in 1843. I was in Ireland ; I did not see him till April in that year. From that time to the period when the present occurrence took place he was living with me. He was generally of a reserved dis position. Sometimes he was cheerful, but he was usually silent and reserved, and wished to evade conver sation. I have observed changes in his countenance, but the expression of it was generally of a very austere and settled character. He appeared dreamy. He com plained of persons.opposite to where we lived watching. I do not consider that we were watched. He used to go to one or two places in particular to dine. He com plained of being known there, and of the people making observations upon him. I went to see whether it was so, and found that he was not known. He did not show any disinclination to walk the streets, but on some occasions I used to observe a singularity in his :walk. He showed a disinclination against walking in a particular direction, and seemed to be annoyed if I stopped at a window. He would not look at the window, but on the ground. Lord Audley, brother of the prisoner, was then called and examined by Mr. BoDKIN, and gave evidence as to the insanity of the prisoner. He was continually com plaining of ill health, agony of mind, and giddiness in the head, and that he could not pay attention to his affairs. Witness advised him to consult a physician, but he seemed careless about it. Witness looked into a box of the prisoner's, and found there poison and morphine. Witness had noticed an alteration in the dress of the prisoner. He was formerly neat ; latterly he had left off shaving, and became very slovenly. Cross-examined by Mr. CHARNOCK—Witness thought the prisoner highly eccentric. Mrs. Charlotte Lawley stated that prisoner lodged at H h e ea w d a ; s he her house in Weymouth-street, Portland-place, from January, 1843, till July, when the present charge was there.brought Theagainst prisoner him. was Lordve very Audleyqu iquiet hadiad also inoffensive, apartments ho t seemed d y a i l n one h . is l unha p p y,ie cmlaanindedahoxfioausbotoilihneg first cleanly, but latterly h e did not change his clothes for a week. He was form erl y very communicative, but latterly he avoided it. Witness had noticed the peculiar turn of his mind since last November. Cross-examined by Mr. CHARNOCR—The prisoner always behaved like a gentleman, although at times ho was eccentric. Joseph Lawley, the son of the last witness, corrobo rated her evidence. Dr. Munro—Was Galled upon by Lord Audley to visit the prisoner in the month of July, and had also seen him yesterday in Newg:ate. On many of the occa sions ho had been accompanied by Dr. Sutherland. He bad also attended Sir Ross Donally, the grandfather of the prisoner, who was in an insane state of mind. The first time witness saw the prisoner was in Clerkenwell. He then told him that ho was melancholy, and had been brooding over murder and suicide for years, and that he was sure he should soon attain the great object he had in view—that of being hanged, and that if ho had a pistol he would shoot the first person he saw. Witness had no doubt whatever o f the UNION-HALL.--(THIS DAY.) Ann Ryan was charged before Mr. Traill with striking llosina Connor with a flat iron, and seriously injuring her. The complainanf,whose face presented a shocking spec tacle, stated that she went home on the preceding night, and finding the prisoner there with her husband, she de sired her to quit the place. The prisoner, however, re fused to go, saying that she had as much right to com plainant's husband as herself. This language caused a dispute, which ended in a scuffle, during which the pri soner procured a flat iron, and, placing it in a handker chief, struck the complainant a severe blow in the face, which knocked her down, and rendered her completely insensible. It was stated that had the blow been a little higher up, it must have killed her. The prisoner said that it all arose out of jealousy on the part of the complainant, and denied she struck her with a flat iron, but that she pushed her down, and her face striking against the fender inflicted the injury upon it. Mr. TRAILL, at the request of complainant, dealt sum marily with the prisoner, and in default of paying the , fine, committed her for 1•t days. FLANDERS MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, OCT. 20.—A letter from Leipsic informs us that on the 7th of this month the first meeting of the German merchants took place, conformably to a resolu tion adopted at the fair at Easher, and that between 150 and 200 persons were present. The assembly resolved unanimously : " That with regard both to quantity and quality, our linen manufacturers can no longer refrain having re course to the spinning of thread by machinery. That this should be encouraged, both by a more extensive and careful cultivation of lax, and then by an import duty on English thread, and a bounty on the exportation of linen. " A proposal was laid before the meeting on the ne cessity of improving the condition of the working classes, and of zealously turning their attention to the means of effecting that object." The assembly resolved to offer a prize for the best work on the following question :—" By what measures, the execution of which may be practicable in the pre sent state of things, and which shall promote the interest both of the manufacturers and the workmen, may a du rable improvement in the situation of the latter be ef fected."

Each day's post from most of the principal parts of Scotland brings additional information of measures of opposition to any interference with the Scotch banking system by the Government, being in most active pro gress. The Premier will have, therefore, no easy task to perform in inducing a majority, such as he would wish to have, to pass any Bill for the suppression of the 1/. notes, and otherwise interfering with the banking institutions on the other side of the Tweed. No concessions will be received. The reso lutions that have been passed at the meetings of tiie Chamber of Commerce, by merchants, brokers, and traders, unconditionally assert that any—the least—in terference with the present system, must be fraught with the greatest injury to all her Majesty's Scottish sub jects. However, on this side of the border, very different opinions are entertained ; the leading bankers and capitalists holding the fate of the small note circulation of Scotia, as already sealed. The proceedings in Parliament upon this subject will be vigorously conducted by the Scotch Members, almost to a man, and no doubt by a fear of the English and Irish representatives. It is understood that some weeks before the session is opened the delegates of the Scotch bankiig interests will reach London, to frame a mode of proceeding the best calculated to maintain in tact the present system of banking and currency of Scotland. The general result of the recent important public sales of colonial wools and of indigo has been already noticed in the usual market report of The Sun. A word or two of remark is worthy a place under this head. It is with regret that, as winter is fast approaching, we find the employment in the woollen districts of this country is rather falling off than otherwise. To this circum stance may be ascribed the fall that has taken place in indigo, which amounted all round to full fourpence per lb. ; and of what was really sold, full two thirds of the samples were bought for exportation, the manufacturers on the continent being better em ployed than those of this country. As to the recent sales of colonial wools, the lower qualities fell slightly; the purchases, however, of the finer samples were made with much freedom. As there will not this year be any further public sales of wools from the colonies, ample time will be afforded to work up most of the present stocks. For the spring trade a good demand is looked for on United States' account. There are accounts from New York to October 4. The cotton market was dull, and the exchange on Lon don continued high. The papers are filled chiefly with electioneering proceedings. The amount of business transacted in the Funds this morning has not been considerable. The price of Con sols fur the Account have been at one-eighth and at one fourth per cent. over par. The Commissioners bought 10,0001. Reduced Three per Cents. at 994. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been again doge at 2 per cent. above par. In most of the public secu rities a good amount of business has been transacted to-day. Old South Sea Annuities have risen to 981 Exchequer Bills are flat, at 71s. premium, and India Bonds at 91s. premium. Bank Stock is rather flat at 2035. Not a single bargain was quoted in the Spanish Bonds to-day. Portuguese Converted have advanced from 502 to 514 ; Belgian at 104/ ; and the Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. at 63. Russian Bonds have rallied to 1184. Mexican may be quoted at 15/ 4, and Colombian at 144. Much fluctuation has taken place in the Railway Share Market this morning. The Great Western shares have just receded about 41. per share, being at 137. The Midland are at 6' to 7 premium, the York and North Midland are at 57 premium. The French lines are scarcely as much in demand as they were 'yesterday. The Real del Monte Unregistered has 'been sold at 44. The Joint-stock Bank Sharei are nominally the same as yesterday.

RIGA, OCT. 6.—A report is again in circulation that it is intended shortly to issue the third series of the loan contracted with Strelitz and Co. for the con struction of the iron railway from St. Petersburgh to Moscow. The whole loan is for the sum of forty millions of silver rubles, to be issued in eight series of five millions each, of which only two series have yet been issued. We have hitherto had no satis factory account of the progress that has been made this summer, and a report has even been spread that the work has been indefinitely deferred. This, how ever, can hardly be the case, since, considering how regular the financial administration of Russia is, it cannot well be supposed that the produce of the loan is applied to any other purpose than that officially announced. Private letters from St. Petersburgh say, that at the expiration of the mourning for the Grand Duchess Alexandria, a distinguished visitor was ex pected, for whom the hand of the Grand Duchess Olga is said to be destined, if the august persons in terested should prove agreeable to each other. VIENNA, OCT. 10.—The investigations respecting the officers of our navy at Vienna in consequence of the treasonable conduct of the brothers Bandiera, are not yet terminated, but seems, on the contrary, to become more extensive. More witnesses, and persons inculpated, are summoned and examined. The cap tain of the ship of the line, who succeeded Admiral Bandiera in the command of our squadron in the Levant, is also recalled.

Tuesday was the last day of the season for the Tweed salmon fishing; the fish have this last week been taken in much greater numbers, but the greater part of them were not fit to send to market. The prices of clean fish have been from 6d to 7d. per lb. ; black fish and kip pers, 2d. to 4d. Tho Spittal fishers have commenced their usual system of night poaching, which they carry on to a great extent in defiance of the water bailiffs ; this illegal fishing, it appears, will never be done away, unless Government place the fisheries under the protec tion of the Coast Guard.—Newcastle Advertiser. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governor of Gibraltar. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)
