Upon the third remedy he contends, that upon Mr. Nimmo's report that the drainage of the waste lands of Ireland, about 3,000,000 out of 5,000,000 of acres being worth that process, at the expense of 11. per acre, would reclaim, at 'M. the acre, which would then be their value, land to the ag gregate amount of 60,000,0001. sterling, and provide an incalculable mass of employment and amount of wages for the Irish people. The letter (which we reprint) will well repay the reader's perusal. w ith being mere lookers , on, watching the progress of events, and biding their time to act as circumstances shall seem to warrant. Just now there is a complete lull in Ireland. The spirit of agitation has gone fairly to sleep. One body of the Repealers is discou raged; another is doubtful and hesitating ; and a third —the Triennial Parliament men—would appear to have no sooner entered the field of political controversy than to have retired from it, disappointed at the arrant failure of the motion in the Dublin Court of Alder men, of their Corypheus, Dr. MAUNSELL. But to re turn to the question of Federalism, the most prepos terous of all the preposterous crotchets of the day. Here is the language in which it is spoken of by a Liberal journal in the north of Ireland :—"lt requires no great stretch of imagination to picture a set of Repealers practising the goose-step, a sort of Repeal Polka; but it would require a vast effort of fancy to imagine them practising anything else. We have no difficulty, however, in understanding how the worthy Repealers are ready to admire the performance of the fresh piece ; but we are not, at present, able to comprehend the folly of those who are captivated, or are likely to be captivated, by the humbug of Federalism. We are very willing to make allowance for human fancies and vanities, but that a set of brave and sensible men should set about advocating Federalism, would appear to be pretty nearly an impossibility, if we had not large experience of human folly. We have heard of new political combinations. The Federalists threaten us with their nostrum ; and we are very anxious to see their prescription, though we do not anticipate much benefit from it." We doubt much whether there is the human being in existence—unless, indeed, he be hopelessly blinded by his prejudices—who anticipates any benefit to Ireland from the Federal principle. So far as we can ascertain, it is nothing more than a proposition for a Parliament which shall have neither influence nor authority, except to dis cuss and carry measures of the merest retail character. A total and unconditional Repeal of the Union we can understand, strongly as we epudiate the idea ; it is a hold, dashing, straight forward crotchet, but Federalism is a petty sneaking conception, with this additional disqualification, name ly, that it is just as impracticable as the former scheme. How is it to work ? In what spirit is it to work ? What are to be the exact limits of its legisla tive powers ? These are questions more easily asked than answered, and the originators of the project seem to be in no hurry to enlighten us on this head. In his last manifesto from Derrynane, Mr. O'CONNELL warmly praises Federalism, and even gives it the pre ference to unqualified Repeal ; but he does not vouch safe to tell us what is its particular character, or in what way it is to benefit Ireland. He leaves his readers in the dark upon both these points, and yet expects that they will embrace a principle which is nearly, if not quite unintelligible, merely because it hears a Derrynane imprimatur ! Federalism, like Repeal, will never answer any other purpose than to keep Ireland in a state of incipient uneasiness, and this our Irish fellow-countrymen will find out ere long, but not before they have suffered bitterly from experience. " There is, or might be, another party," adds our northern Contemporary, " that could do vast good—the party of the country—the party that would act rationally for the public good and that would not be influenced by bigoted power on the one hand, nor propelled by mere authority on the other. We are in want of such a party, and we do not despair that it will be found." Judging from present indications, we should not say that the ele ments of this party are very rife in Ireland, still we are willing to hope with our Contemporary that the want will ere long be supplied, and that, when the Repeal and Federal crotchets have had their day, common sense and an enlightened spirit of patriotism will assume the ascendancy over men's minds in the sister country. Accounts from Madrid of the 21st state that the Committee appointed to draw up the address in reply to the speech from the throne had adopted the prin ciples contained in her MAJESTY'S speech, and that the majority are in favour of the new Reform Bill. Little doubt existed that it would be adopted by both Chambers unless their labours should be interrupted by insurrections in Catalonia. Measures are evi dently in progress for rising in various places. In the French depots the Spanish refugees have given such symptoms of a general movement that several arrests had been made at Carcassonne and Narbonne. Some had been arrested at Bordeaux. Brigadier AYMERICK, Military Governor of Madrid under Es- PARTEEO, had made his escape from Valladolid, and every effort to capture him had proved useless. The Herald° makes the following remarks on the threatening appearance of affairs : " Notwithstanding the fears and the premonitory symptoms of an Esparterist attempt to disturb the ex isting order of things, we do not believe that any such attempt can succeed in the present situation of affairs. The time is past when the army, deceived and surprised, served as the instrument of revolution. The 700,000 bayonets of the National Guard, of which Espartero boasted, have disappeared. The municipalities and pro vincial deputies arc no longer clubs for conspirators. The only hope of the Esparterists rests in the disunion of the Moderate party. We do not believe that any such division exists. It is unfortunately proved, how ever, that a vast conspiracy had been organised, and that the province of Catalonia was to have been the first theatre of the deplorable excesses of the artisans of re volution. To overthrow the existing order of things, to drive the Queen from her throne, or to keep her in tutelage, such is the object of the men who announce themselves friends of progress. A terrific progress which can only advance through pillage and massacre. Fortunately these sanguinary plans have failed in con sequence of the energy of the Government and the zeal of its delegates." Madrid Bourse on the 21st.—Three per Cents., 251, cash ; Five per Cents., 20, at 60 days. The only news in the Paris papers is from Africa, which is of an unfavourable character. The Moors seem determined to allow the French no rest in their new settlements, and during the absence of AI3DEL KADER fight with as much determination and skill, as if that enterprising chief were at their head. however peaceful may be the outward appearances, the native hostility of the people is constantly break ing forth, either by sudden irruptions, or by risings in the neighbourhood of some French garrison, ap parently reposing in the most profound security. The following intelligence, copied from the Algerie, of the 20th, appears in all the Paris papers of Sun day :—" Events of a very serious nature have just taken place at about ten leagues from Dellys, in the part of the country not yet subdued of one of the three Agalicks organised by the Marshal upon his departure for Morocco. At the very moment that General Comma/I was about to quit the country, which he fancied in a state of tranquillity, in order to return to Dellys, and thence to Algiers, he was informed that the Kabyles were again collected, and in a very numerous force. Assured of the truth of this information, he formed his small body of troops into three columns, which he :ordered to march towards the spot where ttei.Cabyles had gathered. The column commanded by. Colonel SAINT ARNAUD arrived the first, and was obliged to sustain alone, for a great length of time (it is said that the combat lasted six hours), the onset of the Kabyles, three or four times more numerous than itself. It defended itself with vigour, and had almost entirely exhausted all its ammunition when the other two: columns came up. One of them, commanded by Colonel FORET, one of the most distinguished officers of the French troops in Africa, had been delayed by the bad state of the roads, and by the attack of another body of Kabyles, which came to increase the already numerous body of the combatants. It is re ported that 29 men have been killed, and 130 wounded, among whom are more than 12 officers ; one of whom has been obliged to:suffer amputation. I steamer arrived in the evening of the 19th, with 106 wounded, and an account of this unfortunate affair. The Marshal immediately gave orders for the departure of all the troops of the 3d leger, and of the 53d of the line, which still remained-at Algiers, and embarked himself with his staff and his aides-de camp, determined not to return until everything should be terminated in that part of the country. The squadrons of Spahis of Blida and Medea, to the number of three, have received orders to march im mediately for the Maison Carree, where Colonel YOUSSOUF will await them to direct their movements upon Dellys. There are already three squadrons of the 3d Chasseurs upon the spot." A correspondent of the Siecle gives another version of this unfortunate affair : If it be true that no difficulty, not involving moral or physical impossibilities, is invincible, Mr. THOMAS ATTWOOD may live yet to witness the legis lative adoption of his ➢ong and fiercely denounced currency doctrines. Sir R. PEEL, we apprehend, will discover it to be rather a more laborious matter, next session, to provoke a " derisive cheer " against the worthy ex-Member for Birmingham, than he found it to be on bringing forward his Bank Charter Bill a few months ago. The best clap-traps—the most cleverly seasoned or adroitly disguised—are de tected, at last, in the House of Commons, as well as at other theatres ; and they who have used them the most freely and successfully are the most certain objects of commensurate resentment and disgust with the audience which detects them. The elaboration of the disguise is not permitted to excuse the decep tion. The "pilula" nauseates, despite the careful observance of the instruction, " volvetur aurato folio" —(incredible as such perverseness may appear to a bullionist)! At the reassembling of the House of Commons next spring, the Premier will attempt, in vain, to play off, on the " men of Birmingham," those carefully studied bursts of ingenious wonderment at other folks' wrong-headedness, which they who read Sir ROBERT best, term his " Joseph Surfaceism." The alarm, indignation, and energy of the Scottish banking and commercial public—powerfully repre sented in Parliament, and arrayed against the pro posal (to the attainment of which the Premier has distinctly pledged himself) fur subjecting Scotland to the disaster and ruin consequent on the infliction of his gold-equivalent scheme ;—these feelings are too intense to be whistled down by his sorry jokes, or his uncandid allusions. Mr. ATTwoon, on the other hand, may enjoy the honest consciousness of having been amongst the earliest detectors of the fraud of the Currency Bill of 1819, whereof this last is avowed to be the complement, and of having given to the whole scheme upon which these enormous sacrifices to the Usury power of the kingdom have been hazarded, his unqualified and uncompromising oppo sition through all good and evil report. He may claim, too, the honour of having rallied round him a large school of proselytes, although these may not concur with him in all his views, or carry them to " ALGIERS, OCT. 20.—T0-day the Sphynx steamer has arrived from Dellys, with 100 wounded, and several more have remained at Dellys ; there are besides fifteen officers wounded (two of them mortally), and thirty-five privates or non-commissioned officers have been killed. General Comman had for a month past been moving about Dellys without encountering much opposition ; a few days ago he would go to the Flipat-el-Bahara, fraction of the Flipat on the seaside. Bel-Kassem had sought refuge there, and organised a resistance. As at the Col of Tenialt, stone redoubts had been raised. General Comman determined on attacking them. Colo nel Saint Arnaud, with the 23d Regiment, was to carry them by a front attack, whilst Colonel Furey turned them by the right. The latter experienced great resist ance, and was unable to reach the rendezvous in due time. Colonel Saint Arnaud bravely carried the redoubt without firing a shot ; the Arabs, according to their cus tom, retreated after their first and only discharge, which put thirty men hors de combat. Our troops, being masters of the redoubt, awaited for six hours the arrival of Col. Forey. When he came up night approached, the ammu nition and provisions had remained in the camp, and it became necessary to return to it. The retreat was effected in good order ; but the engineers, who were in the rear, had two officers wounded, and twelve men hors de combat. After this engagement, which took place at about fifteen leagues east of Dellys, the troops re-entered that town. The Marshal Governor-General, on hearing of this serious affair, in which, despite our severe loss, we have had the advantage, has immediately ordered the departure of four battalions of infantry that have just arrived from Morocco. The Marshal himself proceeds to Dellys to-night. Three steamers, the only ones now in the harbour, are to convey these four battalions (2,000 strong), which are to reinforce the 1,500 men under com mand of General Comman. To-morrow, at dawn, they will be in the enemy's country, and on the 23d or 24th at the latest hostilities will be resumed." the same extent. In the present movement of the Scottish bankers, and the invaluable exertions and tracts of the " Society for the Emancipation of In dustry," he must find indications of responsive opinion on one of the most vital questions which can occupy the public mind, that are calculated to compensate him for much of that ungenerous criticism and rancorous disparagement which he has experienced at the hands of influential public men, of far less practical acquaintance with that question, and far less honesty of purpose in dealing with it. .Mr. THOMAS ATT WOOD has just republished in the Morning Post a letter, in which he proposes " some real remedies," as he emphatically characterises them, " for Irish distress and disturbance." He suggests the introduction into that country of the Jersey tenure of land, of which, he says, that it is undoubtedly the wisest and the happiest in the world. If you could prevail upon a single Irish The Journal des Dcbats contains the following re marks on the new move in Ireland : " The repeal of the union is no longer agitated. That symbol has done its work, at least till a new order. Mr. O'Connell himself feels that he must no longer abuse it, and he has locked it up, always reserving the right to bring it forward when occasion requires. Repeal is, therefore, buried for the moment ; and the long and diffuse letter which Mr. O'Connell has lately addressed to his countrymen, may be considered its funeral oration. We know not, in fact, which we should admire the most, landlord to divide a few thousand acres of land into small allotments of fivi, ten, and fifty acres each, building upon them decent cottages, and letting them upon perpetual transferable rents, estimated in bushels of wheat, of oats, or of potatoes, convertible into money according to the varying average prices at the county town, you would be instrumental in setting in motion a vast Conservative principle, which would promote the riches of the landowner and the comfort and welfare of the tenant and labourer equally. The landowner would secure for ever a fair and just rent, and when the tenant found that all his improvements would thus become his own, he would quickly ac complish wonders in the state of cultivation. The landowner might at all times convert his transferable rents into money by sale in the markets, which would ensure him more than the present value of his land. He proceeds, in his printed letter, to indicate the course of remedies he would prescribe for the evils of Ireland. 1. The Legislature must rectify the currency in that country as well as in England. 2. It must pass a law to limit and restrain the power of ejectment exercised by Irish landlords on their tenantry. 3. It must facilitate the means of draining the Irish bogs on a great scale, like that projected by Mr. NIMMO, the engineer. With regard to the effect of the first of these measures, he holds that "it would at once make the currency balance the rents and obligations which it has to discharge, and the labour winch it has to employ, which state of em ployment and its wages would be about the same as they were on the average of the ten years closing the last war." As to the second, he shows that the opera lion of o la f w a o t f en J a e n r t s , ey sa ( v w e h b i y ch hi w s i o ll w n n ot the so long a s h e _ consent, Permit pays a fixed stipulated corn-rent, con the rare boldness of Mr. O'Connell, or the still greater docility of the Irish people. During a whole year, with out counting preceding periods, the great agitator of Ireland has preached repeal—repeal—nothing but repeal. He turned all heads, excited all imaginations, raised all passions, and almost went to the verge of civil war. Then, one fine day, he found out that he was on the wrong road, that he was in a blind alley, and that he must turn about, or be brought to a full stop. The position was difficult. Continue the campaign of repeal—convoke new meetings—organise a new crusade against the Saxon, was a thing impossible for a man of intellect. The last limit of legality was touched, and one step more in that track must have called forth the force of Government to cut short the question. Mr. O'Connell knew well that the superiority of force was not at his side. On the other hand, the attempt to stop short the passions which he had excited was not without danger to him. Already Young Ireland complains—several protestations are made in one place or another, and one of the companions of the captivity of Mr. O'Connell, the editor of the Na tion, has gone the length of publicly blaming the mani festo of his leader. It is almost unnecessary to say that this new form of separation has as little chance of success as that which it replaces; and that federalism is not more substantial than repeal." The Moniteur contains three ordinances, giving the --...,...m.............• So far a.swe can gather from the Irish journals, the cause of Federalism does country appear to be ma ki ng so much headway in the sister as Mr. O'Co- NELL, and those who think wiothht7len sr on this subject, seem to have anticipated.

She sailed on the 7th; and brings advices three days later than £he previous arrival, laving yorfanned the run in a few hours more than twenty days. The dates from Rio Janeiro are two days in a - vance of those which came direct by the Government packet. The Journal do Comm rcio contains an account of a rupture between the Commander of the British brig of war Alert, Captain Bosanquet, and Captain Dumas, of the brig Cyrus, of New Orleans. It appears that when lying off Calinda, on the coast of Africa, the British captain came alongside of the Cyrus, and suspecting her to be a slaver, demanded to see the brig's papers. This the American Captain refused, and at length the box, or chest, containing them was broken open, and the documents were examined by the Captain of the English vessel, he of the suspected brig protesting against the proceeding in loud and indignant terms. It is added, that after the British Captain had left the Cyrus she was sold to the Portuguese, and immediately filled with slaves. During the altercation, and before the sale, the British Captain is reported to have said to the Ame rican, " The reason you cannot show me the papers is, because you have sold your vessel—l was told so." The American Captain's version of the affair is evi dently exaggerated, and contains a great deal of idle bombast, such as the " American flag trampled upon by the British ;" " our flag is insulted, it will cost the English nation dear, &c., and he accuses the English Captain of being a coward, and turning pale I" His letter is published in the American papers, and duly penned with imposing capitals and notes of admiration. The writer clearly calculated upon the morbid jealousy of his countrymen respect the right to search suspected slavers, carrying the American flag, and the rhodotnontade in which he indulges, however ridiculous it may appear on this side of the Atlantic, has made, and will continue to make, some stir on the other side. Mexico, it would seem, is in earnest about the in vasion of Texas. An account from Vera Cruz states that General Ampudia had passed through that city, to take the command of the troops raised for the ex pedition, and that the army was ready to march by way of San Luis Potosi. The accounts from Monte Video give a more favourable turn to the position of the Rivorista party. The army of that leader had taken possesion of the town of Salto. No light is thrown on the movements of the besieging army, nor on those of Oribe. Rosas, through his organ (the Gazeta Mercantil), was en deavouring to disprove the atrocities with which he was charged, by turning the tables upon the Unita rians. Orders had been issued by the Dictator to allow coasting vessels to carry goods to Paraguay, and to permit the re-shipment of dour and wheat in bond to Santa Fe, Entre Rios, Paraguay, and ports [n the Oriental State not in the possession of the MOtfEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

The yellow fever, which during the last and some preceding years, was so violent at New Orleans, has this year been unusually mild—so much so, that it was comparatively harmless. Pensacola, in the United States, had been the scene of a destructive fire. Thirty-five buildings, com prising half of one of the principal squares, had been destroyed. The United States papers continue to be filled with accounts of the elections for the Presidency. But little clue, however, can be formed, so conflicting are the statements as to the ultimate result. The Cotton Market in New York was unsettled, and the amount of business doing was small. The accounts from Georgia state, that a severe frost had been highly injurious to the crop, but statements of this kind are received with becoming jealousy in England. The Exchange on London, was firm at 109 4 1 to 110, and on Paris at 5 22f. (From The San of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000 to 7,000 bales-500 Surats, 400 American, being on spe culation. Prices romain steady, and mid. American was firmer.

Merchants, bankers, and others, have scarcely resumed their wonted activity, after the grand display and excitement of yesterday, occasioned by the opening of the Royal Exchange by her Majesty the Queen.

In the spring of the year 1833 I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. O'Connell at the Thatched House Ta vern, in St. James's-street. I had then had, as I still have, but little assistance from public men of any party ; but I had then a sincere gratification in hear - ing Mr. O'Connell declarelto a meeting of about fifty Members of Parliament and others that, " upen his honour and his conscience, he did believe that three fourths of the miseries of his unhappy coun try were occasioned entirely by that accursed Bill, viz., Peel's Bill of 1819 !!' Mr. O'Connell at the same time illustrated this great truth in a way most impressive, but almost peculiar to himself, by stating, " that, if the American woods had never been allowed to be cut down with out every man being compelled to use a golden axe, the American woods would have remained in their primeval state to this day !!" In following up this beautiful illustration, I remarked myself that, in my humble judgment, in the present state of society, to campel all the transactions of life to be effected in a golden medium of exchange was very much like compelling every labourer to use a golden plough and a golden spade in the cultivation of the earth, and putting every child to death that had the misfortune to be born without a golden spoon in its mouth. I then proceeded to point out the principal mea sures which were really necessary for the relief of Ireland. First, I said, you must rectify the currency in Ireland, as you must in England. That great measure will, at once, make the currency balance the rents, debts, and obligations which it has to discharge, and the labour which it has to employ. It will place labour in the same state of employment and of wages as existed during the ten years average, ending the late war, or even in a much better state. It will place productive industry generally in the same state. It will thus relieve full one-half, or, perhaps, two-thirds of the existing misery of Ireland. Secondly, you must pass a law to limit and restrain the power of land lords in ejecting tenants of land in Ireland. In Jer sey and Guernsey, no landlord can eject a tenant, without the tenant's consent, so long as the tenant pays a fixed stipulated corn-rent, converted into money at the market price of the day. In this way all improvements become the property of the tenant, as they ought to be ; and if the landlord wishes to obtain possession of the land, he must make his bargain with the tenant, and pay him a just and reasonable consideration. Thus the law protects the tenant in the enjoyment of the fruits of his own industry, which cannot be either twisted or forced cut of his hands. The landlord is not injured ; for, by the improvements of the tenant, he gets every day a better security for the value of his land, in which the tenant becomes interested, and, in those happy and well-governed islands, is generally a part pro prietor, a tenant, and a labourer at the same time. Establish a system of this kind in Ireland, or some other system of a similar nature—give pro tection to the tenant for his improvements on the land—and you will quickly produce a wonderful change is that unhappy country. You will have no occasion for agricultural societies. Nature herself will produce agricultural improvements, which no art can give. The Irish landlord will get his own, and the tenant will get his own, but the property of the tenant in his land will quickly become as great as that of the landlord; the labourer will be fully em ployed and well paid ; both agriculture and manufac turers will flourish, and Ireland will soon blossom like a garden. But, thirdly, you must drain the Irish bogs. You must not regard the low pride and the miserable pre judices of the Irish landlords, who will tell you of their entails and of the territorial dignity which their familes derive from extensive although almost worthless posses sions. You must pay them the full and just value of these possessions ; or you must pay that value twice over, and take them into your own hands. Mr. Nimmo, the Government engineer, reported to Parliament 2 0 years ago, that there are five millions of beg-land in Ireland, three millions of which are capable of being drained, upon a large scale, at the expense of only one pound sterling per acre ; and would then be worth at least twenty pounds per erre! ! lie reported fur ther, that these three millions of acres were not worth one pound sterling per acre in their present state ! You will thus gain a property worth sixty millions sterling at an expense of only six or eight, or perhaps, ten millions sterling. You must of course drain these three millions of acres of land, and place them in a state of cultivation ; and then you should sell them to Irish labourers, in lots of perhaps five, or ten, or fifty acres each, upon fire or ten years credit, as they sell land in Canada and in the United States ; and you will thus draw hundreds of thousands , of Irish labourers from the overstocked markets of Irish industry, and convert them at once into so many prosperous, independent, and contented proprietors and cultivators of the soil. 150. o•••••••• ...

NOTT.— The Presse states that a curious phenomenon oc cupies at present the attention of the Parisian savans. There is living in the Rue d'Enfer a young operative who can only see by the light of the sun. After sunset he can distinguish no object, even if it be lighted by the most powerfully concentrated artificial light. This in firmity, baptized by the name of Nyctalopie, appears to be at present irremediable. CARMARTHEN, OCT. 25.—This morning, at an early hour, Major-General Sir W. Nott, &c., was taken alarm ingly ill, and is still in a precarious state. The road before his house in Guildhall-square is being covered with litter ,to lessen the sound of passing vehicles. FINDING A WATCH IN THE ROYAL PROCESSION.— On Monday afternoon, about three o'clock, just as the royal procession was passing along the Strand, on the return of her Majesty to Buckingham Palace, a police constable, of the M division, stationed in the line at Charing Cross, picked up a valuable silver watch, nearly opposite Nelson's Pillar. It had the appearance of having been dropped while the owner supposed he had returned it safe in his fob, as it was much bruised on one side. The watch is engine-turned; and the crest of a dog looking at a bird on a tree:was engraved on the outer case. It remains at the i3ovv-street station-house, to be identified. SUMMARY OF NEWS' AND %Jut Ur eptnton. " Who runs may read." POIMIGN. The Journal de Cette (a small seaport in the south of France) gives an account of a terrible calamity which befel that place on Tuesday, the 22d instant. About four o'clock in the afternoon, a thunderbolt burst over the town, and produced such awful effects that it is described as resembling a place which had undergone all the horrors of a siege. The Royal Arsenal, a large building, was entirely destroyed— even the walls not being left standing. The zinc roof of the building was carried into the air, and broken into thousands of pieces, which fell in diffe rent parts of the town, where they did a great deal of injury. Several other large buildings were also destroyed. At the same time, a storm prevailed in the harbour which wrecked and sunk six or seven merchant vessels, betides a great number of fishing and other boats. The ifember of persons who perished is calculated at about thirty, but the exact number saves not known, and numbers were still missing whose fate was uncertain. A great number besides are severely wounded from the falling of houses, and even at the time when the accounts came away the people were afraid of a renewal of the disasters, as the storm was not yet over. The Kabyles have made another attack on the French troops at Dellys. A letter from Algier,s, of the 20th, says there were 130 of the French killed and wounded, of whom 15 were officers. Thirty-five men and two officers were killed. Several Progressista Spaniards have been arrested at Carcassone, Limoux, and other places leading to the Spanish frontier, their object being, as it is alleged, to create an insurrection in Catalonia. Troops had been marched towards Valladolid, where it appears a serious alarm was excited. The Minister of War had suppressed one second lieutenant and one sergeant in each company of in fantry, which will effect a saving in the budget of 3,513,706 reels vellon. Fuad Effendi, the Envoy of the Sultan to the Queen of Spain, has received from her Majesty, to present to his Imperial master, a magnificent coffee service in massive gold, consisting of a large tray, twelve cups and saucers, twelve coffee-spoons, a coffee-pot, cream-jug, and sugar-basin. A letter from the frontiers of Catalonia, of the 19th instant, states, that the movement made among the Spanish refugees in the French depots, has given occasion to the greatest vigilance of the French police along the frontiers. They did not exhibit such vigi lance, when Narvaez and party escaped from France, to overturn the Government of Espartero. The Courrier de Havre, of the 24th instant, says the Chamelion steamer brings news of a quarrel which had taken place in Malta between some American and English officers upon the subject of Louis Philippe and the Queen of England, which led to several duels. The issue of this unfortunate affair was not known upon the departure of the steamer. MAW Etairn POSZCZ. Two young men, named Thomas Smith and George Heffell, were charged at Guildhall with stealing three pint pots from the Swan's Nest, in Coleman-street buildings. Sir Chapman Marshall remanded the pri soners till Thursday, that any person who had lost 1 pots might look at them. At Queen-square on Monday, William Stanborough a tall, .fashionably-dressed person, who drove up to the private entrance of the court in his horse and gig, was charged with an assault on John Puleston, a boy in the service of Messrs. Rackstraw and Atkinson, fishmongers, Victoria-road, Pimlico. The summons was directed to William, and George Stanborough, of 6, Wilton-street, Grosvenor-place, but the latter did not appear. It appeared that the boy had gone to 6, Wilton-street, to request payment of a bill ; that on knocking at the door he was forced into the parlour, where he was beaten and kicked by the defendant and two others. The defendant, who denied that he was present at the time, was fined 4/. Monday three gentlemen, named Phillips, Hodg kin, and Smith, were fined 20s. for, obstructing the police in keeping the line clear for the passage of the royal procession, in the neighbourhood of Trafalgar square. At Worship-street Mary Todd, the wife of a porter in a city warehouse, who stood charged with having been concerned in concealing the birth of a male infant, the body of which she had surreptitiously introduced into the Bethnal-green workhouse, on the admission of its mother, a young woman named Maria Gaffee, who is now an inmate of that house, was finally examined and discharged, as there was no further evidence pro duced against her. William Allsebrook, deputy to Mr. Raine, an officer of the Palace Court, was charged at Greenwich with stealing two china egg cups, two china mugs, sundry china ornaments, curious shells, &c., the property of Frederick Starkey, a plumber, resiaing at Lewisham. The defendant who had been employed tamake a seizure on the premises of the complainant, had removed certain articles. Starkey having paid the money required the restoration of his goods. They were restored according to the inventory, but the missing articles although taken by defendant did not appear in the inventory. The prisoner refused to give the complainant his address. He, however, discovered it, and found part of the stolen property there. Mr. Raine, who a pp e zed on behalf of his man, made very light of the matter, and said the articles were of trifling value.. Mr. Starke; said that the prisoner's ther china jug, the son told him that there was an:2 match of the one in the basket, on the mantel-piece of Mr. Raine's house. Mr. Raine was put L t o the box and sworn. Mr. Jeremy then said—Now, sir, upon your oath, is it true that the cup alluded to waa ay your house? Mr. Raine, after a little hesitation, said —No, sir; I deny having seen it; he was, however, so much excited that night, that he could not remem ber. Mr. Jeremy, in giving judgment, characterised the case as one of heartless cruelty. Here was a tradesman in pecuniary difficulties, robbed under cir cumstances very painful, with little probability of redress ; but having unexpectedly satisfied his cre ditors, fortunately found the means of detecting the offender. It was a high misdemeanor, if not a felony. The prisoner might consider himself very lucky in having escaped beinti.esent to Newgate. He was fined 51. for the unlawful possession of the goods, and in default of payment be committed for two months to the county gaol. He was locked up. John Featherstone, aged 53, was charged on a peace-warrant, at the Thames Police-court, with pre senting a pistol at Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Wall, the landlady of the Britannia Tavern, in the New-road, St. George's-in-the-East, and with threatening her life. The prisoner has frequently been bound over to keep the peace towards Mrs. Wall, and at the last sessions articles of peace were exhibited against him He was liberated on bail only on Thursday last. The bail, it was stated, was ." straw bail." The magis trate said that he knew, from long experience, that in 99 cases out of 100 false and artificial bail was given. The Chairman of the sessions must be made acquainted with the fraud. The prisoner was then ordered to enter into sureties, himself in 801., and two sureties in 40Z. each, to keep the peace until the sessions, and in default he was locked up. COVNLIO ---?ASELIONABLIN. The Duchess of Inverness is passing the autumn at Kensington Palace, where her Grace occasionally entertains select parties at dinner. The Duke and Duchess of Manchester and Lady Olivia Montagu intend to pass the winter in Spain, for the improvement of her Grace's health, which has been for some time in a delicate state. The Duke and Duchess have arrived at Brampton Park, on a visit to Lady Olivia Sparrow, from Tandaregle Castle, previous to embarking for Cadiz. The Hon. Mr. Cadogan and Mr. F. Courtenay have returned to town from Lord William Powlett's seat in Norfolk, and leave shortly on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Anglesey, at Beaudesert. On Saturday, George Cornwall Lewis, Esq., one of the Poor-law Commissioners for England and Wales, led to the altar, at Watford Church, Lady Theresa Lister, relict of the late Thomas H. Lister, Esq., and sister to the Earl of Clarendon, and to the Hon. Charles Pelham Villiers. The Hon. Montagu Villiers officiated at the ceremony. antiGNlS.GArfaloini. On Wednesday, the 16th instant, application was made to the Court of Quarter Sessions for the county, at Exeter, for permission to erect a set of powder on Dartmoor. The Court took time to consider, and on Friday granted a license for this purpose to Messrs. George Frean and Co. The site selected is ten miles from Moretonhamptead, and two miles from Two Bridges. The nearest point of the mills to the turnpike road is 728 yards, of three feet each. The nearest point of the magazine to the road is 520 yards. The distance between the mills and the magazine will be 1,200 yards. On Friday, October 11, as a labourer was employed in digging flints on one of the highest p oints of th e hills whic bound the Vale of Pewsey on the north, he turned up a beautiful ornament of solid gold, weighing rather more than two ounces and a half troy, in the highest state of preservation. It was im bedded in the earth at about eighteen inches under the turf. The only articles at all resembling it are the supposed Druidical ornaments called :torques, of which several were discovered in Somersetshire to wards the end of the last century, but of base metal. Prince Albert's Hariers met at the gas house at Egham, on Saturday, had three excellent runs, securing a brace and a half of fine hares. On Saturday the students of University College, Gower-street, assembled in the lecture theatre, for the purpose of inviting Professor Liebig, of European celebrity as a chymist, to a dinner. Though the matter had been only broached the evening before in the presence of thirty-five etudents, thirty of them had instantly subscribed a guinea each. A committee was appointed to arrange the affair. On Saturday, as the mail train from York to Lon don was passing under Milford-bridge, in the even ing, the engine-driver was knocked down by some miscreant throwing a stone, which caught him on the head, from the effects of which he remained in sensible for some time afterwards. Fortunately the stoker was competent to undertake the management of the engine, or a dreadful catastrophe must have ensued, there being two trains on the same line, about a mile from the bridge, and waiting the arrival of the train in question. The Railway Company offered a reward of 501. for the apprehension and conviction of the offenders, and on Sunday last three young men, servants in husbandry at Milford, were taken into custody on suspicion, and on Tuesday two of them, named Newby and Westmorelaad, were com mitted. The shawls, three in number, selected by the Baron Nieumann as a marriage gift to his fair be trothed, are said to be among the finest that even' left India. His Excellency will return from Vienna about the middle of November, stored with precious offerings to lay on the altar of Hymen, some pearls of great value forming a portion of them. Government has increased the reward offered to discover the murderers of Mr. Carden's steward from one to two hundred pounds, and a free pardon, except to the actual perpetrator. The new charter for incorporating the town of Wexford comes into operation the Ist of January. A son of the Rev. Thomas Buxton, of Kilbren Glebe, near Ashbourne, a boy of nine years old, had his hand nearly blown off by the explosion of a powder' horn, a few days since. He escaped, however, with the loss of two fingers and part of a thumb. Westminster.bridge was re-opened yesterday. THE THEATRES. ADELPHI. " Aut Ccesar nut Diabolus" might be taken as the motto of the l ; resent theatrical season. Go were we will we are sure to find either Don Cesar de Bazan or Satan. At the ilaymarket Cesar reigns supreme, while the Devil, with his seven castles, hath taken possession of the Lyceum; At the Adelphi " Divisa Imperia cum ,s , ltano Cce.lar habet"— the Devil and the Don have united their powers of attraction—The Mysterious Stranger appearing in the forni of a lovely woman in the beginning of the evening, while the Don announces lumself as King of Spain towards the conclusion. " The Devil and the King divide the prize" of drawing crowded houses to the great profit of Mr. Webster. There is at the present moment a very pleasant comedic vaudeville by Messrs. Clarville and Damarin, which, under the title of Satan, on le Diable a Paris, is attracting all Paris. This drams has been very cleverly adapted to the English stage IT Mr. Charles Selby, under the title of The Myste rious Stranger, and we have no doubt but that the nightly levees of the Mysterious Stranger at the Adelphi will be as numerously attended as the levees of Monsieur Satan have been at Paris - In the opening scene, we are introduced to Count Henry de Beausoleil (Mr. Hudson), who is giving his farewell bachelor party preparatory to his marriage with Na : demoiselle de Nantelle (Miss E. Harding). stranger is announced, who sends up his card " Satan' and who enters in the person of Mademoiselle Celestfw attired as an exquisite of the first water. The Count is reminded by his visitor that some , .'ten years pre' . viously he had ruined himself to save - a friend from de; struction, and that, utterly destitute of money, he had drawn up a paper offering to sell himself to the Devil for ten years of wealth ; that the next morning b e had heard of a large legacy left him by a distant re' lative, and had ever since been • in the e njoy; ment of wealth unbounded. " You 1 1 °' no relation," says the Mysterious Strange; ,g I took you at your word. Here is your bond—the date is run out, and you're mine." The Count trea' his visitor as an imposter. " Well," says the Stranger " in twenty-four hours I will deprive you of youl wealth, your mistress, and your friends ; and then J. shall demand the execution of my bond." He goe s to a ball, where he finds his mistress flirting with no' other ; while there he hears that his banker has eb' sconded with the whole of his property. The hlyste i : rious Stranger, dressed as a lady, enters , and renuou' him that she had foretold it. A grand fete is give° at the mansion of a Polish Princess with an unpre' nounceable name. The guests are Beausoliel's fois t tress and his former friends. They determine to ell him. He enters, followed by the Princess, w ho is s no other than the Mysterious Stranger. S he ex p ose their duplicity to him, and gives him letters writtell by his mistress to his rival. At the opening of t he second act the unfortunate Count is in utter desp o l B ; dency, and gives utterance to his grief in a von touching song, which was exquisitely sung by Huds oll! and deservedly encored. Mademoiselle de Nantelle enters—she explains her past conduct, and seeks agal' e to win his affections. "Those letters were written, Pi says, "just as she left her convent , at that period ° E life when the girl is becoming the woman, and when to say I love, is sufficient to secure her a ff ec tions"' but the dreams of girlhood had long since p a 4 away, he was the choice of her maturer years, si/te although she knows him poor, she has come to she ? her fortune with him." This scene was ve r y besot? fully given by Miss E. Harding. There was ari passioned tenderness about her acting , restrain' O. however, by the innate bashfulness of the retiri ll 7 ( girl, which told admirably. Henry at once gives 'At, and defies Satan—but too soon.

There is a comic tfbufw plot, admirably supported by Wright anc: Miss t o t he lin, and one scene, in which we are introduek:"--,evef back slums of Paris, in which 0. Smith, as the Ire i of lapis franc, and a dealer in forged passports, o' ci si he alone can act. There is a chorus song i n trodl l eo . into this scene, which was admirably sung by good tleman with whose name we are unacquainted, 00 whom we do not recollect to have seen before , c o whose talents are such that it is impossible bey s s:, long remain unknown. Celest e as the mill terious Stranger was the most fascinating sicuor that has ever appeared in public ; and Hod of as the Count, was first-rate. The mountiogoot the piece was perfection, and it ea fail, to draw crowded houses. The ove by M. Doche, is a very elegant and agr eeable th e position, and will form a most useful addition tuifen repertoire of stock overtures. It was admirably f e tlio by the orchestra ; and we cannot but cong ratuleevt proprietors of this theatre on the vast impros; e ot , which has taken place in the orchestral deparr doe! At the fall of the curtain Madame Celeste, o°llol and Wright, were called for, and receive d with ti jos: honours. When they had retired there wereed calls for Selby, who came forward and annoutliestio piece for repetition amidst the enthusiastic st u n t a crowded house.
