" Although nothing," adds our Contemporary, " can be more preposterous than the bare supposition of such a ruse, its truth is so firmly impressed on the minds of several members of the town council, that it will possibly have the effect of decreasing the list of Dr. Manx- SELL'S supporters." Nothing, certainly, can well be more preposterous than a Ministerial ruse of this nature, for we cannot see one earthly object that is to be gained by it. It is impossible that a man so wary and even timid as Sir ROBERT PEEL, and one, too, who, from the tendencies of his mind, shrinks with fear and distrust from all violent constitutional changes ; it is impossible, we say, that such a man can ever, even for an instant, meditate conceding a Federal Parliament to Ireland, in the hope of inducing her to forego her demand for an absolute, uncondi tional Repeal of the Union. He must know—no one better—that the minor concession is but a step to the major one—a point gained by the Repealers, and a point lost by the Government. Grant Federal ism, and from that moment the power to resist un qualified Repeal is nearly, if not quite, lost for ever. Mr. O'CoNNELL must be well aware of this, other wise we are convinced that so acute and experienced a politician would never advocate so lame, halting, and imperfect a measure as a Federal Parliament. We call it a halting and imperfect measure, for what can be more so than the institution of a House of Commons which will be deprived of all power to legislate on a comprehensive scale, and will be com pelled to confine itself exclusively to matters of petty local details ? So far will the concession of a mea sure of this half-and-half character be from satisfying Ireland, that it will make her more clamorous and determined than ever in her demands for a Repeal of the Union. At first, no doubt she will be highly delighted at the idea of having wrested from the English Cabinet something like a Parliament of her own—a Parliament that she may pet and fondle and take liberties with, just as a child does with a new doll ; she will expect too, most probably, that it will do everything for her that she requires to be done; that it will pare down, if not altogether abolish, the re venues of the Protestant Establishment; shift the burden of taxation from the shoulders of the rich to those of the poor; put an effectual stop to absentee ism ; draw the teeth and pare the claws of tyrannical landlords; put money in the wallet of every wander ing beggar, and enable him to live just as he pleases ; give every peasant a pig and a potato-field ; and finally restore much of its lost rank and influence to the Catholic Church. All these requirements "Young Ireland," in the first ebullition of her joy and in the hour of her triumph, will expect to obtain at the hands of a Federal Parliament ; but when, on its being set actively to work, she finds that its power is crippled, and that it can furnish her with few remedies but such as are of minor importance ;—when, in fact, she finds, notwithstanding all her agitation, that she has got rathe r the shadow than the substance of a Parliament, she will begin, first, to regard the legislative abortion with indifference, next with contempt, thirdly, with downright abhorrence ; and ultimately will insist on cashiering it, and renewin g with an energy ren dered fierc er f rom disappointment, her old demand for an unqualified Repeal of the Union ! The Chronicle, we see, speaki ng o f F ederalism, calls it indep en d ence of Ireland !" " Semi independence ! This One word e x p resses , as fully as language can, the utt er l y unsatisfactory cha racter of such a measure. What nation, w h en once it bad seriously embarked in the s t ruggle for what it conceived to be its legislative freedom, was ever yet content with stopping short of the goal, and putting up with "semi-independence —that is to say, with an independence that has nothing but the mere name to recommend it ? We can understand the demand for Repeal, much as we disapprove of it ; but we cannot understand the demand for half-Repeal—alias Fede- " We feel it incumbent on us," says the Post of this morning, " to offer a brief and respectful allusion to one very 'painful subject connected with her MAJESTY'S present excursion. On the occasion of her former visit to the North, she sojourned for some days at the palace of Dalkeith. There was no Epis copal Church within a convenient distance. But her MAJESTY declined attending the Presbyterian places of worship, and Divine service was performed within the palace by Dean RAMSAY, of Edinburgh, accord ing to the rites of the Church. The QUEEN is now at Blair Athol. There is an Episcopal chapel on the spot, but through some inauspicious influence, the nature of which we care not to particularise, though nothing would be more easy than to do so, her MAJESTY has been actually prevailed on to appear at public worship, not in the chapel where the Episcopal worship is celebrated according to the rites of the Episcopal Church, but at the meet ing-place of the Calvinists or Presbyterians, to whom Prelacy—the Prelacy her MAJESTY has sworn to maintain—is the object of implacable hate and ab horrence, and the symbol of damnable abomination." The spirit that pervades the above passage is the most bigoted it is possible to conceive, and is far more suitable to the days of LAUD—that most intolerant and ceremonious of Churchmen—than to the more enlightened nineteenth century. - Why should not her MAJESTY, if it so pleases her, attend Divine ser vice at a Presbyterian place of worship ? Is there anything in the doctrines there inculcated at variance with real Christianity ? On the contrary, does not the Presbyterian maintain the true principles of the Christian faith with quite as much earnestness and sincerity as the most orthodox Churchman that ever upheld the infallibility of the thirty-nine articles ? We have no patience with such gross intolerance as that exhibited by our Contemporary, who evidently confounds religion with sectarianism, and deems it a subject of legitimate regret that her MAJESTY has " been prevailed on" to sanc tion with her presence any other form of worship than that adopted in our State Church. Surely, to pay a decent respect to Presbyterianism, in the country of that persuasion, is not to show in difference to orthodoxy ; but rather to rise superior to mere schismatic prejudices, in the innate conscious ness of a real religious feeling, and to set an ex ample of toleration which is worthy of all praise ! Illiberality in these matters has too long been the bane of England ; the Churchman has been too long in the habit of distrusting, despising, and holding aloof from the Dissenter; and her MA JESTY deserves the respect and gratitude of every sincere and enlightened Christian for endeavouring, by her influential example, to encourage habits of toleration and good-will among her subjects of dif ferent persuasions. It is not a synagogue, nor a Unitarian nor a Swedenborgian Chapel, that our youthful SOVEREIGN has attended, but a place where " Christ Crucified" is preached with quite as much impressiveness and strength and holi ness of feeling as in any of our national cathedrals. What, then, is there to regret in her con duct ? Are the prayers she offers up herself, or hears the Presbyterian Minister offer up, less acceptable to the ALMIGHTY than those which are offered up in the Chapel Royal of St. James's ? We cannot under ,tand these nice distinctions in religious matters, which, in our view of the case, savour not of a sound devotional feeling, but of the essence of bigotry and uncharitableness. Madrid papers to the 18th instant have been re- ceived. The Gazette contains a royal order suspend ing the law which requires the members of corpora tions to go out in turn, according to a certain rota tion; and directing that the present members of cor porations shall hold their offices till further orders. This is in the direct teeth of the law, and the object of it is to keep the present members, who are devoted Moderadoi, in office. The Eco del Commercio mentions the release from prison of Don JosE and Don RAMON PIERA, Don, MANUEL ALMAZARO, Don R. FERNANDEZ, Don M. SALAMANCA, and Don F. SETAS, who were arrested on account of the pretended conspiracies so much spoken of.a few weeks ago. A grand banquet took place on the 17th, in ce!ebra tion of the victory obtained "by the defenders of the Constitutional throne," in the elections of the province of Madrid. M. MARTINEZ DE LA RosA presided, and, in a brief speech, expressed his abhorrence both of despotism and of revolutions.: The Queen of SPAIN has conferred the Grand Cor don of the Royal Order of CHARLES 111. on the Count DE BREssoN, the French Ambassador at Madrid. Of the Narvaez-Rosa Cabinet the Clamor Publico says, with much truth—" It resembles a mantle made up of rags of all colours, whereby miseries and ini quities innumerable are concealed. Let the day come when the devil shall cast off his mantle, and the nation will behold a woful sight."' Letters from Madrid state that the holders of trea sury bonds have come to an understanding with the Government. These bonds have been converted into Three per Cents. at 32. The sum represented by these bonds amounts, it is said, to 50 millions of reals The arrangement with the holders of the floating debt has not yet been definitively settled. The Council of the Cabinet has had several deliberations on the sub ject, and it is said that a resolution has been come to to effect the conversion at 40; but this offer does not appear to suit the ideas of the holders, who have -ince held a Meeting at the Bank of St. Ferdinand. The result of their deliberations has been, it is said, a protestation against the above rate of 40 as too high, and a proposition on their parts of fixing it at 37. It is not known how this offer will be met, but it will probably lead to further conferences on the subject. MADRUYBOLZA, SEPT. 18.—Three per Cents, 27k, at sixty days; Five per Cents. 201 at sixty days; Floating Debt, 64 at fifty-five day ; Coupons, 251 at sixty days; Exchange—London, 37k. Accounts have been received from Paris up to Tuesday night. From these we learn of the out break of a new revolution in Spain. It is said that information was received at Perpignan on the 22d, that a revolutionary movement had been made at Car thagena ; that similar movements were discovered in many parts of Catalonia ; that the authorities had taken measures to suppress them ; and that the Director of the Posts, the Director of Customs, and one of the Judges of Mater° had been arrested. The contents of the Paris papers of the day are almost devoid of interest. Otaheite, Morocco, and the O'CONNELL banquet in Dublin, are the subjects chiefly commented on. The Constitutionnel thus comments on the proceedings of Mr. O'CoNNELL:— " A very clever manoeuvre of the Agitator is to have imposed silence on his religions passions, put Popery out of the question, and appealed to the patriotibm of the Irish Protestants. This appeal has been listened to ; if a good number of bishops and Catholic priests figure amongst the• guests at the dinner, the chairman, Mr. Smith O'Brien, was a Protestant. O'Connell, who never misses an opportunity to make a point, referred with admirable tact to the worthy president as the living witness of the spirit of moderation and tolerance which animates the repeal, and drew forth without difficulty signs of assent from Mr. O'Brien. This new pri ceeding of O'Connell merits being studied, for it raises the move ment in Ireland, which hitherto had only the charac teristics of faction, to the height of a serious political action. It prepares an alliance which can alone give a direct object to the agitation, and gives the Whigs and Repealers a common ground on which they may combat the Tories. There is in his speeeh little, if any, abuse or his adversaries ; he does not throw bad language about, right or wrong ; but, on the other hand, per haps he neverexpressed himself in terms more nobl e or more touching relative to Ireland, the object of his reli gious worship, and which repays him with so much gratitude and love for his devotedness to her cause." With regard to Otaheite the Constitutionnel and the Journal de Paris both agree in opinion that the Protectorate of the island is not worth having, and ought to be abandoned. The Revue de Paris is of the same opinion and alludes to the withdrawal of the British from Affghanistan, as a precedent which it would be well that France should follow with regard to Otaheite. The Duke of GLUCKSBERG arrived in Paris on Monday. He is said to have brought the original treaty concluded with the Emperor ABDERIGIABIAN of Morocco, and to have come to obtain the ratifica tion of the KING of the Faxiccu, with which he is to return to Tangiers. In relation to this treaty the:Siecle observes This peace is an English peace; it will be advantageous to England alone, and it was negotiated by English agents. Let us not be told, that France was the arbiter to decide upon the conditions of the peace, for it was England alone who dictated them." On the subject of the visit of the KING of the FitcNcu to this country, we extract the following from the Constitutionnel:— " The King of the French has received from the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London a pressing invitation to be present at the banquet which is to be offered to the Queen by the City, on the occasion of the opening of the new Exchange ; and the King, though much gratified by the terms of the invitation, has refused it, alleging as an excuse the state of his health and the shortness of his stay in England." The Revue de Paris says, his MAJEsTy would have gone to London had it been possible to avoid the ceremony of a formal reception. The KING wishes that, in the present circumstances, his journey to England should preserve the character of a men visit from one Sovereign to another." The Debats thus alludes to the letter of Captain Tour NICHOLAS, denying the statement in the Paris Globe, that there had been a sailing match between the Adonis French frigate and her MAJZSTT'S ship Vindictive :—" We produce this letter with pleasure. The tone, full of urbanity, of that officer, and the courtesy with which he congratulates himself on the amicable relations which he always had with the officer,' of the French navy, especially when on the Otabeite station, cannot but contribute to re-establish entirely the sentiments of esteem and reciprocal cor diality which were for a moment changed." The Revue de Paris says:— " It is said that the Government has received impor tant dispatches from M. Alley de Ciprey, our Minister at Mexico, and that they throw a new light on th e even t s at Tabasco, which the journals have already spoken of. M. de Ciprey declares that if the Ministry do not take a decisive step, he cannot, consistent with the dignity of a representative of France, remain any longer in Mexico. The President, Santa Anna, who has shown himself so cruel to our countrymen, thinks he can get over the matter by changing his Cabinet. He is to dismiss M. de Bocanegro and his colleagues ; and he hopes that no thing further will be said on the matter. The Ministry is very much embarrassed. It feels the necessity of a demonstration, but it does not dare to adopt vigorous measures, though M. Thiers's Ministry, in similar cir cumstances, did not hesitate to adopt them." _THE BOURSE--TuEsDAT, SEPT. 24. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

Commissioners have been appointed to investigate the proper form of administration suitable to the pro vince of Albania, as it is considered that from the peculiar habits of its people it cannot he reduced to order by the same laws which operate in other parts of the Turkish empire. The French shopkeepers at Constantinople and at Pera, who have enjoyed for many years privileges contrary to the letter of the law, are, it appears, in despair at the Porte now exhibiting a determination to resume its inherent rights, and to make those shop keepers contribute to the expenses of the State. The shopkeepers are applying to their several ambassadors, and an embarrassing discussion is likely to take place between the Porte and the ambassadors, the former having right and reason on its side, and the latter being called upon to plead in favour of an abuse which has only a certain prescription for its authority. Already has a serious dispute arisen between the Greek Ainbassador and the Porte, in consequence of the Governor of Pera and Galata having shut up the shops" of several Greeks who had not received permis sion from the Porte to carry on trade there.

GOVERNMENT PROSECUTION.—CRUELTY TO A CHILD. —Catherine Stewart was indicted for assaulting Clarissa Tyler, a child of tender years. Ale, WILDE, who appeared for the prosecution, which was instituted at the instance of the Lords of the Trea sury, said that the female was living in prostitution with the father or z he child on whom the assaults were com mitted, and that the case had been taken up by the Trea sury, in consequence of the poverty of the complainant, and the aggravated circumstance s with which it was surrounded. The mother of the child died about three years ago, and from that time the child had been treated with the greatest cruelty by the prisoner.

She at all times gave h er th e the: 41 poor to most spare diet. h r r el little t tl a e q uantity creature, and boiling a t The prisoner admitted her guilt. Mr. WILDE observed that it would greatly enable the solicitors to the Treasury efficiently t o perform their duties if the committing magistrates gave them a little more time to look into the cases sent to them. In this particular case, instructions to prosecute only reached them on Monday, and they were obliged, without inquiry, immediately to attend at the sessions, fearing that the case might be called on, or the grand jury discharged. The COURT concurred in the suggestions thrown out by Mr. Wilde, and sentenced the Prisoner to three months' imprisonment. The case of John Tolfree, an Excise officer, indicted for assaulting and cruelly ill-treating his son, was, on the application of Mr. Wilkins, postponed until next sessions. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) who gave hi s n am e fore as A Ro f Robert the following violent and most unpro vo k e d assau l t on e s r h t io B na ee b c ly hcr -dre oft s , sed was young man, Mr. Hall with ' Mr. Chatterton, of St. Peter's-court, St. Martin's.lane. The complainant stated that this morning, at about five o'clock; the prisoner came to his house, knocked at the shop door, and asked for Mr. Chatterton. He said he wanted to 'be introduced to the family, as he had known them in Paris. The complainant, seeing that the prisoner was drunk, and not knowing him at all, shut the door. The prisoner then went round to the private door, and commenced knocking loudly. The complainant went to the door and opened it, and the prisoner said ho was determined' to go into the house. Mr. Chatterton said he should not, and then the prisoner immediately struck him a blow on the head with a loaded stick, which felled him to the ground senseless, where he lay for some time bleeding. The household, by this time, were roused, and the prisoner was given into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had been to Vauxhall-gardens ; he was quite drunk, and had no recollection of what he had done. He could not, there.. fore offer anything in extenuation of his offence. Mr. HALL inquired what he was? The prisoner—l hold a Government situation. Mr. HALL said he had only power to fine the prisoner si„ and that he did not consider sufficient ; he would, therefore, recommend Mr. Chatterton to prosecute at the sessions. Mr. Chatterton said he would do so. The prisoner was accordingly committed for trial. UNION-HALL...4THIS DAY.) George iVright and Thoma s S u tt on , two young fellows, wer e charged under the foll ow i ng c i rcums tances : Sutton was employed to do some work at a public house at Walworth, and during the absence of the land lord from home, he discovered a two-gallon jar of sherry wine in the passage, which was about to be forwarded to a customer. Sutton having drawn the cork, and finding the quality of the liquor, he then acquainted the other prisoner of the discovery he had made, and they com menced drinking until they finished the incredible quan tity of six quarts of the wine between them. They were found in a state of complete intoxication, lying near the jar which had contained the beverage, and sent off to the station-house on a stretcher. The defendants, who said they had no recollection of what had taken place, were committed for fourteen days each to the House of Correction. REVERSAL OP THE hum STATE JUDGMENT.--A very able legal work, called The Justice of the Peace (edited by . barristers and a solicitor, and published weekly), gives most useful opinions upon legal questions. The editors have taken a very careful review of the Irish State " monster" proceedings, and, from Blackstone and other works, clearly sh ow that the conv i ct i on o f M r . O'Connell and the othe r , t raversers was ill eg al ; th a t Denman 's observation s i n th e House of Lords was per f ec tly sound law ; and, c onsequen tly, that the reversal Lordof the judgment is correct. This is important for the public to know. Grimaud, a chemist, at Poictiers, has proposed a mode of rendering poisoning by arsenic more difficult. He 'won - mends that this article shall be sold only when mixed with a certain quantity of sulphate of iron and cyanure of potash. About one per cent. of each substance would, he alleges, be sufficient. The arsenic, thus qua lified, shows itself either by colour or smell, when used in the various aliments fit for man. Thus, arsenic pre pared this way, and thrown into warm meat soup, gives Imme diately a green bronze colour ; into hot milk, an opal ; into red wine, a violet ; into bread, a deep blue_; and so on for twenty mixtures, on which M. Grimaud has made experiments. Laflitte Bank, 5,000 f.

ELECTION OF ALDERMAN FOR BILLINGSGATE WARD. This day a wardmote was held in Fellowship Hall, St. Mary-at-Hill, for the election of an alderman in the room of Anthony Brown, Esq., appoined Chamberlain of the City of London. Mr. Sidney, the Sheriff-elect for the ensuing year, was the only candidate ; the other, Mr. William Mitcalfe, having resigned. Precisely at twelve o'clock the Lord M a y or , a tt en d e d by the seieral civil functionaries, entered the Hall, and having taken his seat, the Court was opened. Mr. PEAYE, in proposing Mr. Sidney, said he was supported by all parties ; and he (Mr. Peake) was confi dent that, in the office of Alderman, he would be equally distinguished for the virtues and abilites which had so much characterised him in private life. Mr. BOWER seconded the nomination. He said that he had not, like the mover, the honour of such an inti mate acquaintance with Mr. Sidney, yet the voice of fame had spoken well of him ; and from the little he knew, he was fully of the same opinion. They had parted with a gentleman who was highly respected, and who had filled his office well, and he had every confi dence that the gentleman now propo ed as Alderman would do away with their regret at parting with the last one. He was glad that there was no opposition on the present occasion, as however well conducted such contests might be, they invariably left gall and bitterness behind. He would, therefore, with every heartiness, second the nomination of Mr. Sidney, and he hoped that in all their future relations he and the " good men" of Billingsgate would esteem each other in the highest degree. There being no other candidate, Mr. Sidney was de clared elected. Mr. SIDNEY returned thanks. There were moments in every man's life, when words would be found inade quate to express the intensity of his feelings, and such was the case with himself at that time. He could say unfeignedly, that that was one of his proudest moments. He would not take up their time by detaining the prin ciples he had laid down for his future guidance, because the last mouth bad given him ample opportunity of ex plaining these. He had sought that important position as a means of extended usefulness to his fellow-citizens. _(Weer, hear.) He did not mean to say that'opportunity of much 7sefulness cound not be found in the privacies of life as i n ;t4 public walks— " To do good t lw stealth and blush to find it fame," might be chronicled of many—the most humble indivi duals.—(Cheers.) If in that office, he did not the good which at present he hoped so do, he would not retain it, but at once resign into their hands again the honourable distinction they had conferred upon him. They had had the good sense not to ask him any question as to his political sentiments, and he had no right, nor would he, in that unanimous assemblage thrust these opinions upon them ; although they all agreed, he was convinced in this, that it was truly wise, and truly liberal, to allow to each and all the expression of that opinion, whatever it might be.—(Cheers.) He was proud to call himself a friend to the glorious insti tutions of the country, and he hoped that he should ever advocate an extended system of education. He would hail the day with gratitude when education would raise from among the masses of the country a new power, moral, political, and religious—(Hear hear)—and to that object would all his exertions be given. nit was the best mode of preventing crime and its consequences. He thanked them all for the kindness with which they had received him in the course of that canvass, and he could assure them that he would endeavour to discharge the duties of his office in an ho nourable and honest manner.—(Great cheers.) Mr. Deputy CURLING moved a .vote of thanks to their late Alderman, Anthony Brown, Esq., which was passed unanimously. Thanks were voted to the Lord Mayor, who then dis soleed the wardmote.

The distance con tested was 600 yards, and to leap ten hurdles. The subjoined is a list of the competitors :—John Smith, Mason, Byrom, Wyld, and E. Smith, of London ; Bad cock, of Birmingham ; Hopewell, of Nottingham ; and Moon, of Sussex. In betting, Badcock was the favourite. The men appeared at the starting-mark attired in racing -costume, and at the signal they went away at a sharp rate ; Smith, Badcock, and Byrom taking the lead, the others falling into the rear ; Badcock cleared the hurdles in fine style, Smith pursuing him closely, and running hard for the winning goal, Byrom was, when within 200 yards of the last hurdle, thirty yards behind his opponents, when he made a very great exer tion, and succeeded in coming up, and a spirited race ensued, which terminated by Smith coming in first, Byrom second, Badcock third. 'Very large sums of money changed hands ; the ground was in excellent condition, and the affair well arranged. FOOT RACE NEAR WINDSOR.--A foot race for 51. a side, came off yesterday morning, near the residence of Viscount Ashbrook, at Old Windsor, between Mullet, the running tailor of Staines, and Dunkley, of Wink field, known in sporting circles as the Antelope. Both were ranked high for speed amongst their respective backers ; but the odds, on the eve of starting, were three to two on the tailor.• An immense number of persons were present to witness the race. The distance, which was one hundred yards, was performed in ten seconds, the tailor beating the Antelope by only six inches. In deed, it was near a tie, that it was doubtful even to those who were close to the spot which of the two touched the handkerchief first. Mr. Lawrence, of the Two Brewers, Windsor, who was the referee, gave it in favour of Mullet, and the stakes were immediately paid over to him. A good deal of money changed bands upon the result, between the betting men of Windsor, Staines, and Eton.

He occupied two rooms, for which he paid 50/. a year. The rates were all paid before the 20th of July. Jane Farrell's name appeared on the rate-book. He made a claim to the overseers of the parish to be placed on the register, which he left at the Anti-Corn-law League office. The REVISIRJ BARRISTER said the Anti Corn-law League office was not the proper place to leave his claim. It appeared that Mr. Tripp had not claimed to be put on a rate made on the 9th September last year, which The REVISING BARRISTER said would prevent him from placing his name on the register : his name, how ever, would be on next year's register. Some persons held that a person ought to claim to have his name placed on each rate, and although he did not quite coin cide in that opinion, yet he had no hesitation in advising parties to do so. The names of several persons who were proved to held subordinate offices in the service of the Government were struck off ; as also the names of others who had not resided twelve months at their places of abode, or had removed. The INCISING BARRISTER yesterday afternoon gave his decision against the claim of Thomas Smith, whose case was reported in The Sun. He occupied the second floor of a hoase in Great Carlisle-street, for which he paid 55. 6d. per week, which Messrs. Ivemy and Alicia contended was sufficient to qualify him to vote ; whilst Mr. Greenwood supported his objection on the ground that the house was occupied by three parties, each of whom paid a weekly rent. The house was rated at 201., and valued in the rate-book at 251. DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, SEPT. - 24,—Yesterday morning, at one o'clock, a salute of twenty-one guns announced the solemnity of the day. At ten a funeral service was performed in the Church of St. Gudule, in me mory of the citizens who fell in defence of the national independence. This week there have arrived at Ostend 23 boats, with cod, together 1,489 tuns, from the Doggerbank, to be added to the 6,592 tuns already received at the same port, and 1,179 tuns from Ferro. Accounts from Dunkirk, of the 19th, say— " More than forty-one fishing vessels have arrived here within these forty-eight hours. Unhappily, every boat that arrived brings the most unfavourable accounts of the result of the fishery, and the losses which have been sustained. Five vessels, insured for 150,000 francs, are totally lost. Most of the others have suffered much damage to their sails, masts, &c. Only half of our b o at s h ave y e t returned, so that we are in fear for them." BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23.—The shipowners, merchants, sugar refiners, wh o me t l a t e l y at Brussels, to examine the effects of the existing law on sugar, were unanimously of opinion that a modification of the law is highly necessary and indispensable. The manceuvres of the camp of Beverloe were very brilliant. The Minister of War bore witness to the great improvement of the troops, who, among other evolutions, gave a representation of the battle of July, the plan of which had been received from the French Minister of War. This manoeuvre excited the admi ration of all the generals who were present. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 4.—The Porte, which can scarcely manage its own affairs, has thought fit to take Sultan Abder Shaman under its protection. Troubled by articles in some French journals, which state that some Belgian officers had applied to the French Government to be employed in the campaign against Morocco, the Porte has taken it into its head to apply to Baron de Behn, the Belgian Minister at Constantinople, and to ask for an explanation on this important subject.

One of the greatest improvements which is in progress of adoption, and in which the shipping interests are concerned, connected with the affairs of. Lloyd's, is that of having a room entirely devoted to the reception and inspection of authorised charts, delineating the bearings of the coasts of the world. We find that a meeting was held yesterday afternoon of the merchants connected with Lloyd's, at which thanks were carried unanimously to the King of Prussia for a present of a most valuable set of charts, published by his order, from actual sur veys. The same well-deserved compliment was paid to the East India Company for large number of similar useful references for the chart-room. No doubt all foreign governments having a seaboard will follow the example of his Prussian Majesty, and of the Court of Directors of the East India Company. Indeed there cannot be a doubt but that this new and most excellent plan of the Committee of Lloyd's will be adopted by every country in civilised Europe, by which the correct and true bear ing of distant ports may be had easily by tie captains of vessels who trade with foreigners. The records of the Admiralty Court are loaded with instances in which vessels arriving on our coasts have fallen into danger, and too frequently become a total loss, by the masters making a vague guess of the course they hare to take ; and the same may be said in numberless instances with respect to captains of our own mercantile fleet chartered to foreign ports. All those who are connected with British shipping ought, therefore, to aid the grand object of Lloyd's Committee by forwarding authorised charts so that the collection may be complete as near as can be. No late arrivals from the Colonies have been an nounced this morning. A new set of tables has just been issued by the Com missioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, for the conversion of Stock into annuities for lives and for fixed periods. The old set of tables did not take so high a range as par for Consols, and hence the necessity of cal culations for annuities to be granted under such a favourable state of circumstances. It may be useful to mention that the new tables may be had upon applica tion, without fee, at the National Debt-office, in the Old Jewry.
