The Dublin Evening Mail, which is the leading organ of Toryism in Ireland, professes to be not s little perplexed and grieved at the recent elevation of Mr. EITLE to the judicial bench. Sir ROBERT PEEL :argues our Contemporary, should not have presumed to make any such obnoxious appointment. He should have deferred to party prejudice, and surrendered all .opinions of his own on the subject. What, though. ERLE be one of the soundest lawyers of the day, and every way qualified to do credit to the high office of judge; what, though he be moderate in his politi cal views, exemplary in point of character, placid :and forbearing in temper, and just of an age to enable him to discharge his official duties with spirit, judgment, and punctuality ?—what, though he possess all these valuable judicial qualifica tions, and even more ? he is a Whig ! that is to say, he has been seen sitting behind Lord JOHN JIUSSELL on the .Ministerial benches, though his voice has seldom or never been heard in Parliament; and this fact alone should have decided the Premier on rejecting his claims to a judgeship ! A Tory only should have been appointed to the post left vacant by the resignation of Mr. ERSKINE, even though he might not happen to possess one single qualification for it. Such is the tendency of our Dublin Contemporary's arguments, who, in the bitterness of his spleen at Mr. ERLE'S promotion, takes the opportunity of de claring—what, by the bye, we knew before— that the Irish Tory party are, to a man, in a state of grievous discontent with Government, and by no means solicitous to give it any very active support. " The Roman Catholics," says the Mail, " are disaffected to British institutions ; the Protestants are discontented with the mode in which those institutions are at present administered. Both parties are dissatisfied, to the fullest extent of the terra, \with the existing posture of affairs." Our Contem porary then goes on to state on what terms the Irish Tories will renew their alliance with Government, abandon all distrust and jealousy, and throw the whole weight of their influence into the Ministerial scale. "It is for Ministers to consider," he adds, " whether they will still hope to tide over a year or two, trusting for safety to the continuance of divi sions and discords among the Irish people; or whether. they will adopt the larger and more statesmanlike policy of linding to themselves, by an extended care of ' the great interests of the country, a powerful and permanent party, at the same time eschewing paltry connexions, and declining the retail purchase of petty foes, or still paltrier hireling friends." The meaning of the above passage, car e f u ll y as i t is worded, is very obvious. If Sir ROBERT PEEL will consent to throw the Liberal party overboard; give the lie direct to all the declara tions he has made since his accessionto o office in favour of Free -tr a d e ; fli ng all idea off i u n r d the . r Re form in Church or S tate to the w abandon his intention —formally announc s esi ' and 'n the House of Commons t owar d s t h e close of the last session—of increasing the, annual grant to Maynooth, and placing the Irish education sys tem on an improved and enlightened hasis ; if the Premier will only consent to stultify and degrade himself in this fashion, and submit without a murmur, as in the olden time, to the imperious mandates of Toryism, then the Irish Orangemen will gladly give him their most strenuous approbation and support; but if he will not so demean himself, but will insist, instead, on acting in accordance with the dictates of his own judgment, then he must be pre pared to encounter their bitterest hostility, for no Minister will they condescend to patronise who is not prepared fully to acknowledge the great principle of Tory ascendancy. Verily these are modest pro positions on the part of Irish Toryism, and their modesty will appear the more remarkable, when we take into consideration the declining state of that party in Ireland and elsewhere. It has lost much of its old influence, the course of events is daily work ing more and more to its disadvantage; and, as if this were not quite sufficient humiliation, it is no longer an united party, but is split into two distinct sects—the Moderates and Immoderates. And yet it presumes to dictate terms to Sir R. PEEL, just as though it were once again lord of the ascendant in this, as well as in the sister country ! But the Pre mier, if we mistake not, will be far too wise to close with the terms proposed to him by these noisy, swag gering political bigots. lle knows his own position too well to be likely to compromise it by any decided retrograde movement, such as a renewed alliance with Toryism would be sure to involve him in. It is far more probable that he will effect a junction with the Liberals than with the Tories, for the strength of the former, both within and without Parliament, is increasing in exact proportion to the decline of the latter. The recent defections of many members of the Church of England ordained ministers, some of them—to the Church of Rome, are a remarkable in dication of the danger that results from postponed reforms in institutions which are admitted to require amendment, by those, even, who most strenuously resist the adoption of any remedial treatment. Since the reigns of the last two STUARTS, under whom the principles of the Anglican Church and the disci pline of its clergy were subjects occasionally en forced upon public notice, and therefore matter of salutary discussion, notwithstanding the general laxity of morals which pervaded the whole aspect of society, from that period to the present time we have had a succession of polemical authorities— Bishops and divines of the Establishment, pious Non- Conformists, and (more lately) enthusiastic sectarian teachers, who have all concurred in denouncing the decay of earnestness, of zeal, of singleness of pur pose, of apostolical simplicity and disinterestedness in our clergy, and the growth of an indecorous and slovenly administration of the sacraments and cere monial of our Established form of worship. Yet the Establishment has drowsily nodded on, though occa donally disturbed by such shocks as the imprison ment of the seven Bishops, or the High Church fac tion of SACHEVEREL, or the Anti-Popery cry of 1779, renewed at various subsequent intervals, as in 1793, 1807, and 182.8. The last uneasiness she has experienced, owing to the matured growth and de velopment of the Tractarian heresy, does seem to n've at last alarmed her. She apprehends—and with reason—that the "disturbing force" in this movement, must be of deeper seat and more formid ' ab:e intensity than that of which she has heretofore experienced the action ; and she has almost aroused herself to attempt, in good earnest, the serious in vestigation of the causes that have engendered it. She may i s,l the work too much for her, if she cannot rally all ;:er energies for its accomplishment. Of the very ch:ldrets,,whotn she has reared, there are, it seems, those who denounce her as a nuisance; who not only abjure, s , tut reject and execrate, in the race of the world, the first elementary charter of her rights and authority ; whd Anathematise Pro testantism by name; and deplore, ‘ ' , i.th wailing and in ashes, the mighty "Reformation" onamenced by [IENRY VIII. in 1534, and completed by recog iition and profession of ELIZABETH, at her aces . "'" . n 1558. Foremost in the rank of these desertet' ire—not the influential laymen (and yet they are not few), who have leaped her pale and betaken them ,elves to that of Romanism—but priests and deacons, ho have been ordained according to the tenor of her institutes; have expounded the Scriptures, according ta her rule of construction ; and habitually solemnised Divine worship in her churches, and according to her ritual. It is hard for her to be repudiated bi those whom she has received into her bosom, and carefully nourished, and at parting has (in some instances) 4enerously endowed. The course of their proceed .ngs is, in truth, marked with the signs of original tuplicity and ulterior falsehood. They set out with t pretence of effecting a sort of approximation of the Inglican to the Roman Church, in matters indifferent, with a view to the ultimate conciliation of the two great denominations of the Christian world. This was wisely projected. Any proposition for knitting ind uniting together the hearts and affections and worship of all classes of Christian men in one great .piritual unity, is, abstractedly considered, calculated :o enlist the attention—and, if proved, to realise the suppart, of an intelligent community. The first steps, too, openly taken in the same direction, were yell judged. The prevailing laxity of discipline in the Establishment had been not only insisted upon Ind lamented by some of its Bishops, in charges to their clergy, and in speeches delivered in the House ,f Lords; but many Bills had been passed for its correction, and the extension of the jurisdiction if the diocesan in the repression of this evil, which the Legislature had been as often vainly called upon to pass. The Tractarians cleverly advocated a more strict adherence to the rubrical instructions contained n the Book of Common Prayer, in matters that re carded the rites of our Church and their administra don. They instanced, at first, one or two ; and after wards, from time to time, advocated a similar ob ervance of others ; but it was not until after the issue of a century of " tracts," and numberless con troversial pieces in answer to the various challenges these had excited, that the amount of their object was avowed, namely, to enforce conformity with the whole of the Rubric as incorporated into the au thorised " Common Prayer" of 1548, with all its admixture—by implication—of doctrines—and—ex pressly—of ceremonials, including some of those most strenuously insisted on by the Church of Rome, and most distinctly renounced by the Reformed Church of England as superstitious, human, non- essential, and inconsistent with the purity of its re formed doctrine. The controversy waxed "fast and furious," till at length the impetuosity of the Trac- tarians accomplished the repeated predictions of their antagonists. From simple dissentients or non-con tents, the latter have become (in the persons of some of their most eminent leaders) irreconcileable enemies of the former. They have gone over to the Church of Rome, renounced the ecclesiastical alle. giance they had vowed to the Anglican Church, and following the rule of almost all bigoted proselytes they bid fair to become the most rancorous persecu• tors of the fold which they should have guarded, but have quitted. For our own parts, - having a sincere respect and affection for Protestantism, we are very sorry for what has occurred. But we cannot shut our eyes to the proof it affords of the variety of mere forms as - ..._ defensible outworks or securities for the substantive doctrines of religion. The moral of the case resolve; itself into the terse apostrophe of Earl GREY to the Bench of Bishops. We must say to the Established Church at large, " Set your house n order." Let those who have the best means and most efficient authority for such a work, examine vigorously into the elements of her constitution, and the manner of their working; let them remove ex- crescent bodies, which mar the action of the machine, and defeat its unity. Let them supply omissions and deficiencies, whilst they extirpate unseemly redun- dancies. . If th i E revenues of the Church be indeed (as her enemies charge) so unequally divided, that the working parson, or his still harder worked curate, is in . a vast proportion of cases scandalously under- paid, and subjected to the most sordid evils of poverty, whilst he is upholding, by his example and preaching, the great truths he has been called to teach; let the vastly over•-paid Bishops (the Bishop of LONDON knows we do not point at Llandaff, or. Rochester, or Bristol, or Bangor, or Bristol and Gloucester, dr Oxford) contribute from their enormous incomes and the fines accruing under their life interest in the sees they hold, funds ptopor tionally large towards the adequate payment of all the acting clergy of all orders. A Commission ttiight TII E STT N, 140. I! easily be organised to report on all cases re ported of inattention, or ma!fea,iance, on the part of clergymen in any diocese ; and as to the difficulty engendered by the Rubric on account of the more or less strict degree in which its letters has been adhered to by pastors, the " Convocation" might be re-assem bled—or at any rate a council, consisting of the whole hierarchy of the Establishment, might be assembled—who, having regard to the forms now, and for many years past, observed in a majority of the churches of each diocese, should revise and finally settle this Rubric—adopting, we should hope, the fewest and the simplest forms, using the plainest language, and eschewing and rejecting the greatest possible number of genuflexions, and wax-taper homages, for this purpose. We have received Madrid journals of the 3d inst. General PRIM'S trial it appears was postponed from the 2d to the 4th. He was to be tried by court martial, consisting of general officers, with General ESPELETA, as President. In the Chamber of Deputies the fifth paragraph of the address, which relates to the Church and clergy, gave rise to some discussion. Senor CARRASCO moved that the worth " without prejudice to national property" should be added. Several Members spoke, and it was elicited during the discussion, that the members of the Government had given explana tions, in the ...'dotnmittee on the addriss, to the effect that it was their determination to keep inviolate the sales already made. The Minister of Finance ad mitted the principle of the amendment, and pledged himself that the Government would lay the decree, suspending the sale of the national property, before the House in a few days, when M. CARRASCO could again bring. forward his amendment ; but, in the mean time, he requested him to withdraw it. Senor MARTIN Ez DR LA RosA also asserted that it was the intention of the Government to keep the sales inviolate, and the amendment was withdrawn. The Committee on the Reform Bill had finished their labours, and the report was to be read on ,the sth, when it was expected the debate would commence. The more important changes proposed by the Com mittee are the exclusion of any of Don CAILLOS'S family from a marriage with the QUEEN, the presen tation of the budget, and all financial laws, to the Cortes, and the withdrawal of the clause for restoring the ancient privileges of the mili tary and clergy. A slight alteration was made in the regency clause by which a special law should be passed by the Cortes for the appointment of a Regent, in case the Sovereign should be notoriously unable to govern, as in the case of FERDINAND VII., during his imprisonment in France. On the 2d, the Three per Cents. closed at 27a cash, and 274 1 at 60 days. Five per Cents. 201 at 60 days. The most important intelligence from Paris is the announcement in the Journal des Debats that the Government have at last resolved to complete forth with a loan of 200,000,000 f. (8,000,0001.) The loan will be offered in the usual form for competition, and it was expected that an official announcement to that effect would appear in the Moniteur of Monday. The Government journal, in contrasting the state of the English funds with those of France, cannot exactly understand, though partly attributing the depression to the incubus of the loan, why the English Three per Cents. have, within a short period, risen from 93 to 100, while the French Threes are only 82. It may rest assured, however, that there are other causes for this great difference than the anticipation of a loan of only eight millions sterling. The un settled state of Spain, the expenses of the army in Africa, the small increase in the imports and exports of the country, and the rather cold manner in which the Great Powers of the Continent regard the present dynasty, cannot fail to have considerable effect on the credit cf the country. The Journal des Debats, after stating the fact that the Government will, in a short time, contract for the loan, makes the following remarks :—" The necessity of proceeding at once to the loan results less from the immediate wants of the Treasury than from the good situation of affairs, the improved con dition of public confidence, and the ascendant ten dency which the funds of all countries have at present „„caed. The French Government is not so short of money that it cannot wait still several months, not withstar:.;ng the extent of the undertakings carried on at the charge of the Treasury. But the moment is favourable, and it will be an agreeable news to lay before Parliament, when it meets according to cus tom between Dec. 25 and 30, that the credit of the country has undergone with success the trial of a lout The imminence of a loan renders the French funds, ~N 1 particularly the Threes, much heavier than they ought be. The quotation of the Threes is not in harmony with A timplitude of the resources of the country and the se. ";dity. a her engagements. The prices of our stocks do not C'mare with our rank amongst other Powers. In the f last . 4614( 1:6a7.31 thei r English funds have advanced i n a rem.:a'Web e l degree. From 92 or 93, the English Threes hay.. risen to 100. Our Threes, on the contrary, have declined ; from 86, which they were at in 1840, they have fallen to 80 or 82, and remain there. Let once the loan cease to weigh them down and they will infallibly resume their improvement. According zo the comparative quotation of the English funds four or five years back, they ought to be now at 90. In order that they may come near that amount, all that is wanted is that we should be definitively free from loans. From that, two consequences may be drawn—first, that considering the favourable circum stances, the loan ought to be negotiated as quickly as possible; secondly, that the present loan ought to comprise the totality of the sum necessary to the treasury out of the 300 millions, of which the issue is authorised. It is confidently stated that the Govern ment takes this view of the question, and 83 it ap pears certain that all the wants that have been fore seen may be satisfied with 200 millions, the loan, it is said, will not exceed that amount. Depository of the funds of the communes, the departments, and the public establishments, amongst which are particularly remarked the savings' bank, the Government has by that means an obligatory floating debt which allows it to limit the amount of its consolidated loans. The loan being restricted to the maximum of 200 mil lions, a sum relatively not very considerable, there results an advantage : it is, that the Government in putting the loan up for adjudication, may reckon on a serious competition." Several of the journals complain of the atrocious law laid down by the Spanish Procurator-Fiscal on preferring the in lictment against General PArx Even the Journal des Debats is compelled to join in the cry, and thu.s denounces the public prosecutor : We are not aware what may have been the sentence of the court-martial, but at all events the documents which we have before us cannot pass without some re• mark from us. We have not to declare our opinion even, though we should have a well-founded one on the part which General Prim may have taken in the con spiracy, which has just so fortunately and so miracu lously failed ; but we cannot help testifying the surprise we feel at the strange doctrine laid down on this occa sion by the Procurator-Fiscal. We had no idea of a jurisprudence according to which simple presumption would suffice in default of proof for the application of capital punishment. If proofs of culpability are not re quired for the pain of death, we should like to know for %%hat other punishment they could be. The placidity with which the Fiscal of Madrid exposes this theory ap pears to us, we must confess, extraordinary. We have seen many things in Spain, but we hope we shall not see justice rendered there according to such singular rules, and that the judges charged to pronounce on the argu ments of the Fiscal will not be contented with mere,pre sumptive evidence, and will insist on having proofs.' The Constitettionnel, after expressing great indigna tion at the charge of the Procurator-Fiscal calling on the court-martial to pronounce punishment of death on simple indications of guilt without proof, adds : o at v l eer pardon,ncmo u t t i f; h o u f opuo Q lnd u t e ph e re n o nn lsabella n se be enl condem nation. de. t e o n o' by t h a : e t . o ‘ g h l r s e a c n a G l t nation. The Government of Espartero slipp e d away the blood of Diego Leon ; the bl oo d o f Prim would not perhaps be less fatal to those who should venture to shed it. Since the reign of Ferdinand there has been no Go vernment in Spain capable of granting pardon. Political tribunals have in the same succession as the Governments kept up a civil war, more dreadful than that against which they acted. Merciless political tribunals are fatal to ail who have recourse to them. We hope, for the i s i a a k lt e i o n f t t h h e e cprrueesle andu Government t perilous coursein upon which hic i h twill it has entered with the executions at Barcelona. It: it cannot be induced V to do so humanity, it should at least listen to the counsels of interest." The National, in strong terms, denounces the man ner in which the prosecution is conducted ; but CHRISTINA'S journal, the Presse, is entirely silent on the subject. The following tragical event is published in Ga num . 's Messenger of Friday :--- " Yesterday evening, about nine o'clock, M. Jacob, the box-maker in the Rue Latfitte, was amusing himself in his shop by threatening his dogs with a whip. As he was at the same time surrounded by his apprentices, a person passing by imagined M. Jacob was ill-treating them, and entering, reproached him with unwarrantable severity. A qua , :rel ensued, and they went into the street to fight it out, but were separated by the neigh bours. The stranger went away, and M. Jacob entered a wine-shop to tak over the affair with his friend,. While there, one of his men came to tell him that his assailant was returned to the shop, vociferating venge ance and brandishing a poignard-knife. M. Jacob im mediately went to get rid of his troublesome intruder, but, before be could get hold of anything to drive him out, he was stabbed with a knife in the breast, and dropped down dead.

ROTTERDAM, Nov. s.—Private letters from 13atavia, dated 21st of August, received to-day by the overland mail, announce the death of his Excellency Baron P. Merkus, the Governor-General. His mortal remains were interred, a week before the date of the letter, at Soorabaya, with all thc honours due to his rank. We look with grief and anxiety fur some particulars of the illness which has so prematurely removed from his high office this worthy man, who was still in the prime of life. Everybody here who had the pleasure of knowing him is deeply afflicted at the unexpected news of his death. THE HAGUE, Nov. 7.—Preceding accounts from Ba tavia announced that the deceased Governor was in a weak state of health. In hopes that the sea air might have a favourable effect, he set out in the month of July, on board his Majesty's steamer, the Bromo, to make a voyage along the coast of Java. On his arrival at Soorabaya. he landed, intending to pass some time on shore. This had at first a favourable effect, so that at the latter end of July he made an excursion for two days into the interior, which did not seem to fatigue him more than those who accom panied him. He now resolved to proceed in the Bromo to visit Banjoewauge ; but on this excursion the symp toms of his disorder suddenly assumed such an alarm ing appearance, that it was judged advisable to return with all speed to Soorabaya, where he died on the 2d of August, in the house of M. Pietermaier, the resident. His end was perfectly calm, and he retained all his faculties to the last, so that an hour and a half before he expired he dictated a farewell letter to his nearest rela tives. Eli. loss is universally deplored in Java, which is no wonder, sinco, with the exception of a two years' leave of absence, the deceased hai passed twenty-eight years in India. _ _ _ m..y. G, Reynst, Vice-President of the Council of India, had, on the ,sth of August, a,sumed the Govern ment as Governor-General pro tenipore, in expectation of his Majesty's pleasure. THE ll,tocE, Nov. B.—The sections of the Second Chamber were engaged yesterday in deliberating on the communications sent from the First Chamber respecting the address in reply to his Majesty's speech. The central section ha 4 met to-day for the purpose. It is expected that it will shortly make its report, which will be taken into consideration without delay, The Steals Courant of this day publishes 4 royal decree of Nov. 6, which opens a voluntary exchange of inscriptions of the national debt at five per cent. into inscriptions at four per cent. to the amount of ten mil lions of florins, Duna; FUNDS,,.-AINTERDAw, NOT, ta., Money.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 7.—We were mistaken in stating yesterday, after another journal, that the gene•ral census )f . the population of the kingdom is to be taken towards he end of next month, and that instructions had been given for that purpose. The fact is that a sum of !none) from the next budget of the Minister of the Interior has been asked for to prepare this important operation, the time for which js not yet fixed. The Russian Government has published in the Northern Bee the account of the produce of the mines in the Ural mountains in the first six months of 1344. The mines of the crown yielded 68 poods 291bs. of gold, and those belonging to private individuals 164 poods ISlbs., in all 233 poods 21bs. (the pood is 401bs. Russian • ^lb s.

The King is exp-cted to return from Ardenne on Saturday. BRUSSELS, Nov. B.—A general debate on the project of law relative to the increase of the salaries of the judges was closed to day, The increase asked for the First President and the Attorney-General of the Court of Cessation was rejected, as well as that proposed for the Advocates-General in ihat Court ; this last increase was rejected only by the votes being equally divided, (35 for, 35 against, and one declining to vote). Some provincial journals have given assertion to re ports to the most unfavourable prejudices against the attempt of the Belgian Society's Colony at Santa Thomas. It is to be desired that the facts should be cleared up, and the matter conscientiously investigated by men worthy of confidence for their knowledge and impartiality. We are assured that the Government has just decided on a regular investigation, in which those persons who have returned from St. Thomas from dis gust and fur other reasons shall be ekamined ; the direc tors and persons employed by the company will likewise be interrrogated. The Frankfort journal says, " Mr. Bicks of Maintz, well known for an invention, which consists in cultivating all kinds of land without manure, and obtaining from sundry soils a larger produce than the best lands now afford, lately arrived from Belgium. lie affirms that at Brussels he was perfectly well re ceived by the Court, by the Minister, and in general in Belgium by competent judges, and found the greatest readiness to support his plan for a subscription. He in tends to go to England and France, where he hoped to have more effectual support than he has yet met with in Germany." We learn that Mr. Bicks has just set out for Paris wit) Baron Lapeyrouse, to make a beginning, and enter into some arrangements with the present capitalists. It is stated that Earl de Grey has purchased the Duke of Devonshire's Burton Moor estate, near Ripon. The Earl of Ellenborough arrived at his seat at Southam, on Tuesday, being his first visit to Glouces tershire since his return from India. On the following day his Lordship attended the Winchcomb Music Meeting, returned to Southam to dinner; and on Thurs day, accompanied by his brother, the Hon. H. Law, paid several visits to some of his Lordship's old friends at Cheltenham. His Lordship remains at Southam until Monday, when, according to present arrangements, he returns to London ; and will not, probably, revisit our neighbourhood until about the middle of next month.— Cheltenham Looher-on. The registrdstaistics of Lancashire, as detailed by Mr. Cobden, and stated in our last, indicate that the time is not remote when that county will practically assert at the hustings the principle of unrestricted com merce and free-trade. Twenty-one constituencies out of twenty-five, instead of twelve against thirteen, is a fearful look out for the protectionists ; and if the Coun cil of the League are not greatly mistaken in their figures, it is high time for the monopolists and their Prime Aliniater to be on the slut—as there must either be a change of measures or a change of men. Sir Ro bert Peel, though an excellent tactitian, cannot perform I impossibilities ; and the Lancashire anti-free-traders must either give way to men who will r« ally represent the interests of their great emroria of trade, or extend the maxims of their narrow policy, to as to suit the in creasing intelligence and the dilating energies of the age. If the perseverance of the League, in opening the eyes of their fellow -countrymen to the evils of a restrictive policy, be pregnant with results of this importance when a good trade, and two good harvests, have replenished the national coffers, what will not renewed exertion effect, if a succession of diminished crop:, and a decrease I of our India trade, should force the perils and evils of a restrictive policy upon the minds, we had almost said the r o i s stomachs', of all cla sses . 'We feel assured, to use th e words of fa tradeL ond London Cll n o o n t , i( i ) n n p;r r a easy, swell anti-commer c i a l t h e grea t po r v d n c lobbies, and give the plausible sanction of its approval to anti-commercial measures. The time is at hand when Lancashire will be ashamed of its share in the sliding scale, and Liverpool —aye, Liverpool itself, unless Bir kenhead is destined to be the real Venice•of the west— will emancipate itself from the fetters of monopoly, and become alive at length to the magnitude of the blunders which it sanctions.—Carnarvon 4 1 it 12, 1844. (Frok-. The Sun of Last Night.) There is still rather a slack market for the Railway Shares, and the quotations exhibit a want of that buoy ancy observable a week or two back.

It is said that Government has thus taken measures to mark its sen.e of the unflinching obedience of the Bombay Sipahees.—Naval and Military Gazette. FIRE IN THE HACKNEY-ROAD.—Sunday night, be tween eight and nine o'clock, a fire broke out in the pre mises of Mr. Dodson, Oxford-place, Hackney-road.

There are no late arrivals to-day with news of general interest, the accounts from America being but one day later. A cargo of oranges, comprising 950 boxes, and occu pying several waggons, was received this morning at the warehouses of Keeling and Hunt, in Monument yard, in excellent condition, by the Southampton Railway, and as ships discharging at that port will save several days in the home and outward voyages, it is supposed that now the dock and railway companies offer such facilities, both having been most liberal in their charges and the accommodation offered, the route will be made more extensively available. A new decree relative to Dutch Stock has been issued at Amsterdam, the heads of which, as given by Messrs.

" Who runs may read." POZZXG7ST. A letter from Compiegne states that the Dukes de Nemours and d'Aumale arrived there on the sth, at half-past five in the morning. After breakfast, the Princes and their suite proceeded to the Puits du Roi to hunt. They returned at a quarter past six. The same day the Prince and Princess de Joinville and the Du chess de Nemours arrived at Compiegne, at five in the evening. There was a grand dinner, to which the gen tlemen engaged in the hunt were invited. On the 7th a grand battue was to take place in the forest of Laigne. The Duke de Montpensier was expected. Another hunt was to take place on the Bth, at which the Princesses were to be present. On Friday, says the Commerce, the professors and other officers took formal leave of General Boileau, the late Commander of the Polytechnic School, who very shortly after retired. Almost immediately thereupon General Rostolan was installed in his place, and took possession of his apartments. Another journal states that the letters of convocation to the pupils have not been sent out, and, therefore, that it is impossible that seven teen of them only having received no letters regt,rd themselves as expelled. The Siecle, however, declares that this expulsion has taken place, and publishes the names of the pupils expelled. Accounts from Africa state that Abd-el-Fader has taken refuge near Miliana, a part of the country where the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Morocco is not much respected. The Toulonnais says that Marshal Bugeaud has taken the conclusion of the treaty of peace with Morocco so much to heart, that it has made quite an old man of him. " The treaty," says the Toulennais, " is, in fact, very impolitic, but we should not have thought it would have had so much influence on the mind of the Duke, for he will break it whenever he finds it convenient to do so." M. de Nyon, the French Consul-General at Tangiers, arrived at Toulon on the 4th, from Morocco. The treaty with France has been ratified by the Emperor of Morocco, and a letter from a correspondent of the Debuts gives the details of the interview between the Duke of Glecksberg and the Pacha of Lambe upon the occasion. A letter from St. Petersburg states that Count Orloff is appointed President of the Council of the Military School, in place of the late General Tolstoy. The number of vessels which passed the Sound (lur ing the first nine months of this year amounts to 15,849 The Augsburgh Gazette, under its Prussian head, states that the Superior 'fribunal of the censorship dis plays a great activity, and that almost daily the journals contain proofs of the liberal spirit which presides over its decisions. The last accounts frem St. Petersburgh express re newed apprehensions as to the health of the Empress, the complaint in her chest having become more and more violent. 'rhe Augsburgh Gazette of the sth instant says : " Prince Miksch has left Servia for Italy, where he will make a long stay, his journey being induced by political motives. The Cabinet of Vienna is said to have called upon the Prince to clear himself from suspicion of hav ing been engaged in the late agitation of Servia, and, it is added, the Prince has returned an assurance that he has been a total stranger to those attempts at insur rection." C 0 7:7141r ALSRIO Maid lOrb The Earl of Jersey (Master of the Horse) leaves town this morning by the eight o'clock train for the Weedon station of the London and Birmingham Rail way, to be in readiness to receive her Majesty and the Prince Consort npon their arrival at that place, on their way to Burleigh. • Lord and Lady Prudhoe have arrived at Stanwick Park, near Richmond. Yorkshire, from visiting the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, at Alnwick Castle. His Grace has recovered from his recent attack of gout. Lord Napier, who has been on a tour in the East, has arrived from Constantinople. His Lordship has since gone to Leamington Spa. The Earl of Ripon, we are gratified to learn, is now recovered from his late attack of illness, which compelled the Noble Earl to remain some days at Doncaster. Earl Somers has been elected a member of the Cam bridge Camden Society. The Rev. Dr. Hawtrey, the highly-esteemed head master of Eton College, has been likewise elected a member of that antiquarian Society. Earl Fitzwilham and the Ladies Wentworth Fitzwil liam intend to leave Wentworth I - louse, Yorkshire, at the close of the present month. for Milton Park, the Noble Earl's hunting seat, near Peterborough.
