Abuses, which are offensive to the feelings and opinions, and even hostile to the rights and liberties of the great bulk of a community, may, occasionally, maintain themselves for lengthened periods of time, against all calculation of the probability of their ex tinction, founded on their intolerable and vexatious character. Long prescription may give to them a species of sacredness in the eyes of some ; others may be deterred by a sickly dread of innovation, under any circumstances, from attempting their remedy or their removal. A still larger class will apathetically endure the very evils which they denounce, rather than put themselves forward in the business of achieving their own object, on the principle that " that which is everybody's business is not theirs." But after making every allowance for the influence of these unworthy considerations, in general cases, we cannot repress our astonishment that the Game-laws, on their present footing, should have been so long tolerated and administered in a free country like our own. Where institutions have been so long established, which distinctly ascertain and solemnly guarantee the inviolability of personal rights and property, in almost every other case, it is a social anomaly of the most extraordinary kind that a whole code of class legisla tion, of the most selfish, insolent, and tyrannous na ture, should not merely be tolerated on our Statute book, but notoriously and daily administered, with all its frightful penalties—its utter recklessness of the suffering and privation they inflict—and its dis gusting appreciation of brute natures over human na ture. Every week seems really to surpass its prede cessor in the contributions which it brings with it towards an appalling history of the oppressions per petrated under the authority of these game-lords' enactments, and the stupidity with which game-lords' magistrates, at county sessions, whenever there is a discretion to be exercised between decreeing a nominal or a severe fine, a brief or a longer term of imprison ment under them, doggedly enforce the heavier sen tence. In this way the Game-•laws, and those who are charged with their administration, fill the gaols with exasperated prisoners, increase the county rates with the expenses of the innumerable prosecutions they encourage by their wholesale commitments, and allow themselves to be made the blind instruments of fomenting that vindictive hatred for the owners of pro perty in general, of that which comprises game pre serves in particular, that is the deplorable but not un• natural result of such treatment as offenders receive at their magisterial hands, if they have trespassed against the Game-laws. We have, of late, had too frequent and too recent occasion to advert to enormities perpetrated under their sanction, of a far graver kind, to offer any comment on a case which appeared in our paper of yesterday, as extracted from the Somerset County Gazette. Nevertheless, it is too Characteristic and consistent not to be noted as an admirable illustration of the notions which' Somer setshire ALIASES: gravely entertain of proportion, in estimating the amount of crime and awardin g puni s h.. ment. At the Keynsham Petty Sessions a young ruffian was tried for hurling a st , nt a female, which had so severely injured her that she was still wider medical treatment, and not permitted to attend. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20, 1844. For this brutal and dangerous assault, the fellow was fined ten whole shillings. For fear, we sttppnte, that this penalty should hs construed into too eager a vin dication of the law, or too great a homage to the gal lantry of our sex, the same amount, for costs, (! I) was actually decreed against the prosecutrix 1 It Would seem to follow, as a logical conclusion of magisterial law at Keynsham, that a lady who is the victim of any savage vagabond's violence, is more guilty than the perpetrator of the outrage; for, whereas he is only fined ten shillings for the luxury of seriously injuring her by hurling a stone at her, she is ad judged, having been thus grievously hurt, and as the recipient, not the doer, of the wrong, to pay an equal penalty in fact, though nominally for costs ; the sum of ten shillings being meant for the equation (we suppose) of her suffering, and his crime. At the same sessions, on the same day, another young man, for shooting " at" a covey of partridges (vi:e should not have demurred to the sentence had it been for missing them, because, it would seem, he dil not touch a feather of all the birds), was fined 101. Here, again, it follows that the enormity of even the endeavour—for it was not perfected—to assault a partridge is reckoned, at a money price of twenty times as much as, or 2,000 per cent. more than, an actual completed cruel assault on a young woman ! How long, in the name of common sense, of common spirit, and common justice, do the British public mean to allow successive Parliaments to separate without repealing these worse than Norman Forest Laws ! We have often, in the discharge, of our public duty, had occasion to speak in terms far from flatter ing of the political conduct of the Marquis of LONDON-. DERRY, but of late our task has been a more pleasing one—to approve rather than to condemn—for since the advent of Sir R. PEEL to office, it is evident that the Noble Marquis has relaxed considerably in the starch austerity of his Toryism, and adopted a more mode rate and intelligent system of policy. To quote the remarkable phraseology of his illustrious relative, the late Lord CASTLEREAGU, he has in some degree " turned .his back upon himself." He is no longer an uncompromising supporter of things as they are, from a firm conviction that they are already so per fect that it i 3 impossible to amend them ; but is beginning to entertain an impression that there is much in our political and commercial system that might be altered for the bet ter ; and so far as we can gather from his recent speeches, he is not unwilling to put his shoulder to the wheel, and make the experiment of innovation. Doubtless it is this liberal change in his sentiments that has made him so distasteful to the North Dur ham Conservatives, of whom, unfortunately, but a small minority are in his favour, while a vast and increasing majority, looking upon him as a sort of deserter from the sacred cause of Tory intolerance, indignantly repudiate his claims to the office of President of their Association. We do not antici pate, however, that the Noble Marquis will take the disapprobation of this bigoted majority very seriously to heart. Indeed his recent address to his Londonderry tenantry shows that it has had no the slightest injurious effect on his spirits, but that he is just as happy and comfortable as if he had not been subjected to the awful displeasure of seven out of ten of the North Durham Conservatives. Of the address in question, which was delivered to a body of his tenantry in the Assembly-rooms of Newtownards, we may observe that, while there are one or two points in it against which we must enter our protest, there is much in it of which we decidedly approve—much that is characterised by justness of reasoning, and man liness and liberality of sentiment. On the important subject of the corn-laws, the Noble Marquis thus expresses himself :—" He did not under stand how any Minister who thought it right to introduce into his policy free trade at all ; he did not know how that Minister could make corn an ex ception. In order to prepare for a change he would implore his tenantry to go on cultivating the soil on which their existence depended. They had seen, during the last twenty years, many changes ; they had seen the Minister, by the force of circumstances, and by the pressure from without, obliged to follow out a course of policy which it was contrary to his mind to pursue ; and having seen that, he could not sit down without impressing them with the fact that similar things might take place with regard to the corn-laws. He wished them to bear in mind that, when everything else was free, they could not expect that corn alone would be an exception." This is a remarkable declaration, considering the quarter whence it emanates. The speaker evidently anticipates the abolition of the corn-laws at no distant period, and, impressed with this conviction, he exhorts his tenantry to secure a snug shelter for themselves against the inevitable day when the roof-tree of Monopoly shall fall. Go on cultivating your lands, he tells them, with the utmost assiduity; avail your selves of all the recent improvements in agriculture ; neglect nothing that may tend to increase the means of your subsistence, and then you will no longer have cause to regret the downfal of the Protection system. But the Noble Marquis goes further than this in the above passage, for he states it as his deliberate opinion that if there is to be free trade in one thing, there should be free trade in another, and that it is an act of injus tice in Sir ROBERT PEEL to make an exception in favour of corn. May we not, after a declaration like this, claim the Noble Marquis as a corn-law aboli tionist ? He is too manly and straightforward to support a shuffling system of expediency, merely be cause it is sanctioned by the weight of Ministerial authority ; and seeing what is the right course to take, we are confidently of opinion that he will take that course, careless of the frowns 3f Sir R. PEEL, and the indignant reproaches of those two ducal luminaries, RicrtmoND and BUCK INGRAM. Indeed it would not at all surprise us, were he, at an early period of the ensuing season, to take the chair at one of the League meetings at Covent-garden, with Mr. COBDEN cheering him on one side, and Mr. Balaux shouting in sympathetic ehorus on the other, to the infinite delectation of all true free-traders ! Paris papers of Sunday have bees received, but we find little in them interesting to the English reader. The Revue des Deux Monde:, in adverting to the proceedings of the forthcoming session, says, the Op position will adopt a very moderate tone, and declare themselves as anxious to be on good terms with Eng land as M. Grizor himself. This is not at all probable, but if the said scheme is founded on fact, what harm can the Opposition do to the Government ? They can only oppose M. GUIZOT, by departing from the principles; on which they pretend to act ; but pre tending one thing, and doing another, are not means likely to give either character or strength to a party. The Journal des Debate has another article relative to Spanish affairs, in which it repels charges made against it by other Ministerial journals. These charges refer chiefly to attacks made on the New Reform Bill, and the despotic Government of CHRISTINA. and Co. This organ of the Govern ment seems to disapprove of these great changes, while, at the same time, they are fully sanctioned by the Court and the Cabinet. This writing on both sides by the Ministerial journals only confirms the general belief that the revolution in Spain is of French manufacture. The French Funds continue to rise. At TORTONI' en Sunday, a good deal of business was done. At the opening the Three per Cents. were quoted at 83f. 15c., and shortly after rose to 83f. 25c., at which price they closed. We have received intelligence from Madrid of the 11th inst. On the previous Saturday, the 9th, the Chamber of Deputies began the discussion on the Reform Bill. A Member, of the name of LATOJA, commenced the debate, and contended that the Cortes had no power to amend or alter the Constitution He objected also to the period at which the Bill was brought in, when the minds of men were in a state of great excitement, and not prepared to consider with calmness the important changes proposed. Another speaker defended the Bill, and after some speeches of no interest the debate was adjourned till Monday. On that day a Senor TBJADA made a very straightforward speech in favour of absolute monarchy—a line of argument very acceptable to the Government. Ile declared his full approbation of the Bill, took a review of the course of events in Spain since the death of FERDINAND VII., and de clared that all the evils which Spain had suffered since that period were referable to the prevalence of revolutionary principles; - which, under Pretense founding a const i tutional government , led thcontc; into anar c hy an d confusion. He Called upon the Government to restor'e the nobility anti clergy td their ancient rights and privileges; for Spain, he said, was a monarchical and religious country, and neither required nor wished a representative Govern ment. Senor MAttfrNEi I 7 LA itosi followed, but his speech was cut short by the President, who an nounced that the hour of adjournment had arrived. MADRID BOURSE, Nov. 11.—The Three per tents., 271 cash, 27 9-16 at sixty days; Five per Cents., 20i cash, 201 at sixty days. FLANDERS MAIL. BaussrLs, Nov. 16.—The Chambers, in its sitting to-day, adopted, by a second vote, the project of law for increasing the salaries of the Members of the Court of Justice. The Minister of Finance presented a project of law which he introduced with the following observa tions :—" Gentlemen—The law of the 21st of March last for the conversion of the loan of 100,800,000 francs, did not authorise the exchange of the Bonds at 5 per cent., for Bonds at 4i per cent. except on Belgium and at Paris. We did not know at that time what was the amount of those in Eng land, but according to the declarations which have been made up to this day for the conversion, the amount is already more than twenty millions of francs. I have, therefore, judged that, for the inte rest of public credit, as well as of the English holders, it would be advisable to facilitate the ex change of those bonds in England. The King has, therefore, authorised me to present to you a project of law to that effect." The Minister then presented a project of law authorising the exchange at London. It was referred to the Central Section, which has to examine the budget of the public debt. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BaysseLs, Nov. 16. Actua Debt, 2% per Cent., Rothschild's Loan, Five per Cent.. - ... ....

Advices have been received to Sept. 14, from the Cape of Good Hope. The state of the colony, both politically and economically speaking, was satisfactory. The Kafirs on the frontier were quieter, and the leaders evinced more disposition to act with our troops in check ing the thievish propensities of their people. The Governor had been to the Eastern colony, and a stronger military force was expected to be in future stationed in the so called neutral territory. By virtue of instructions from Lord Stanley, Natal had been formally 3onstituted a dependency of the Cape, the Governor of the latter having full jurisdiction over it, althought there is a Lieutenant-Governor and a local executive and judicature appointed. The appearance of the town of Natal, and the village of Pietermauritzberg, is represented as having materially improved since Colonel Somerset arrived with the troops, and many of the Dutch farmers were anxious to see the settlement retained by the English. Local improvements were progressing also in the older colonies, and there would soon be a road formed from Graham's Town to the Cape. The Funds are very steady this morning, but the transactions have not been of any extent. The Commis sioners have taken Reduced Three per Cents. at 99k.

" Who runs may read." rezzzon - . On Friday the King of the French received M. Victor tug© and General Aupick. On Saturday a company of comedians were to perform two pieces before the Court at St. Cloud. Alderman Moon had received an invitatien from his Majesty to be present on the occasion. M. de Bourqueney, Ambassador at Constantinople, the Marquis of Lavalette, Consul-General at Alexandria, and M. Nyon, Consul-General at Tangiers, had arrived at Paris. The Maritime Prefet of Toulon had received a tele graphic dispatch from Paris, announcing that the Duke d'Aumale and the Prince de Joinville would reach Toulon on the 15th, and embark fur Naples on board the Gomer on the 17th. The address of the Spanish Chamber of Deputies to the Queen was presented on the 11th by a deputation. Disturbances are said to have occurred at Cad iz, bu to have been suppressed. Accounts from Alexandria state that Mehemet Ali had determined on monopolising the transit through Egypt to Suez. From Constantinople we learn that in the capital, and, indeed, in the entire Turkish empire, tranquillity prevailed. Brofessor Liebig's reception at Darmstadt, his birth place, on his return from England and Scotland, was most enthusiastic. Numerous friends and admirers of the learned professor, and all the students of the Poly technic School, assembled before his residence (at his father's house) with flambeaux, and greeted him with serenades, expressly composed for the occasion, in refe rence to the great honour paid by the people of Scotland and England in bestowing upon him the freedom of their respective cities. The Augsburgh Gazette states that the Archduke Charles is to quit Vienna on the 11th instant, fur Pres burgh to close the Hungarian Diet as the representative of the Emperor. According to the same journal, not only in Greece but in Thessaly and in Southern Albania, public opinion is in favour of the extension of the frontiers of the new kingdom. A considerable agitation prevails throughout those provinces, and an explosion may be expected sooner or later. ILA IT :POLICE. At Union-hall several persons were summoned by the P division of the p , dice, and among them some poor wo men, for selling fruit in the streets. The evidence ad duced against the defendants was, that they had boards or stalls by the road side, at Walworth, with fruit, and that they created an obstruction, and being warned to desist and not paying attention to it, were accordingly summoned for the offence. One of the defendants, an elderly woman, said that she had no other means of sup port, and that it was to keep out of the workhouse she endeavoured to sell fruit in the Walworth-road to support herself. Mr. Traill committed her to prison. Another woman, in defence, said she had five children dependent on her for support, and asked what she was to do if she was prevented from selling a little fruit by the road-side—that the workhouse was staring her and her children in the face if she was obliged to abstain from it. Mr. Traill fined her 205., but should not enforce the fine till she offended again. A third defendant said, that she had a sick husband, and tried to keep him and herself out of the workhouse by selling fruit, and that if she was deprived of the means of doing so, that must be their fate. Mr. Traill finding that the defendant was not at all disposed to make a promise that she would remove her apple-stall, said that he was of opinion it would be a kindness to many of those persons who obstruct the thoroughfares by selling fruit, to commit them to the House of Cor rection ; that it was an idle lazy way of living, and that those who pursued it, ought to be made to try and earn their bread by different means. This woman and the rest were threatened with a fine of 20s. each in case of future disobedience. This appears to be a most atro cious law. Philip Bear, a foreigner, and assistant cook on board the Batavier steam-ship, was charged at Lambeth-street with smuggling four pounds weight of foreign manufac tured tobacco. The prisoner admitted that two pounds of tobacco found upon him was his own, and the other two pounds had been given to him by a shipmate who had gone on shore. Mr. Henry remarked that it was quite evident, from the manner in which the tobacco was made up, that it was intended for smuggling, and fined the prisoner in the penalty prescribed by the Act— namely, 100/. At Worship-street, Henry Meacham was charged on suspicion of having burglariously entered the warehouse of Messrs. Waddington and Horton, wholesale umbrella manufacturers, in London-wall, and stolen a large quan tity of silk and other property to the amount of 4001. The prisoner, in defence, denied the charge altogether, and said that the prosecutor was wholly mistaken in his identification of him as tb2 man who had called at the warehouse on the occasion in question. Mr. Broughton said that the case was one of such strong suspicion against the prisoner, that he was fully warranted in re • manding him, to give time for the police to trace the property. C 0 VRCT ---r4ku)l xo xrAss lisliii. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, Prince Meiningen, and Baron Knesebeck, ar rired at Brighton on Monday by the half-past two o'clock train, from London, and immediately proceeded to the Pavilion.

The Eunuchus of Terence will be performed by the Westminster boys this year. The nights will be Mon day, the 9th, Thursday, the 12th, and Monday, the 16th of December. On the last two, a prologue and epilogue will be spoken. The Archbishop of York las issued a pastoral letter to the clergy of his diocese, on the subject of collections for the extension of education on the principles of the Established Church. His Grace states that the rapid increase of schools, which is happily taking place throughout the country, renders it a matter of pressing sad paramount importance to the spiritual interests of the diocese to provide methods superior to those which have been hitherto in use for training teachers of youth. It is said, we know not with what truth, that Thor waldsen's statue of Byron, excluded from the sacred precincts of Westminster, is about to be erected in the cemetery at Kensal-green. The Queen Dowager has presented the Institution for the Relief, Employment, and Religious Instruction of the Adult Deaf and Dumb, Bloomsbury, with 251. The Committee of Lloyd's Patriotic Fund, from a con viction of the great national utility of the Royal Naval School at New Cross, made a mcst munificent offer of eight thousand pounds to that institution, with the proviso of its receiving on the gratuitous establishment and edu cating annually the sons of eight necessitous naval officers. This offer has been cordially met by the council, and the solicitors of the respective parties are preparing the documents for carrying the same into legal and parliamentary effect. It is reckoned that the O'Connell tribute this year will amount to 28,0001. Mr. O'Connell leaves Darrynane Abbey for Tralee on Monday next. lie will sleep at Dean Coll's, Newcastle, on Tuesday night, from whence ho will make his entry into Limerick on Wednesday.

The builder l'eplied, th a t " th e F renc h w ere building lafgeP ships than any we had, and therefore it was necessary to have a dock in England fit to receive them." He instanced, ernangst others, the Commerce de Marseilles, one of their finest three-deckers ; and sure enough that ship was the first which entered the large dock, having been Stint to ttigland by Lord Hood, at the evacuation of Tou lon, in 1793. She was found, however, to be so badly timbered as not to be worth the expense of repairs, and she Was broken up in August, 1802.—United Service ticaette. Roam AND THE PUSETITES.

The first Court of the present Mayoralty was held yesterday, when the Lord Mayor, on taking the chair, said he should rely with confidence upon the support of his brethren in performing the duties of his office ; that he should punctually attend Courts of Aldermen on the days marked in the calender ; and that he was convinced he might depend upon the punctual attendance of other members of the Court, by observing which the public business would be greatly facilitated. Sir PETER LAURIE than moved a vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor, Sir Wm. Magnay, Bart., for the faithful and honourable manner in which he had discharged the various and important duties of the Chief Magistrate; for his impartial, patient, and hu mane administration of justice, especially for the firm ness and judgment displayed by him throughout the protracted and difficult investigation of the charges of the forgery of wills, which resulted in the conviction of the parties accused of crimes de vised and executed with great artifice and cunning, and which had entailed serious loss upon the public ; for the courtesy and ability with which he has pre sided over the deliberations, and maintained the pri vileges of this Court; for the cordial and liberal hos pitality which (while depressed by an accumulation of domestic bereavements) the late Lord Mayor main tained throughout his year of office ; and this Court offers their best wishes that he may long enjoy the honour bestowed on him by his Sovereign, and the well-merited approbation and esteem of his fellow citizens as a magistrate of this City, and the represen tation, in this Court, of the ward which was presided over for many years by his much-respected father, with the same independence and integrity which mark the conduct and character of the son. Mr. Alderman LUCAS seconded the motion, and after some complimentary remarks from the other members, the motion was unanimously agreed to. Upon the motion of Sir Peter Laurie, seconded by Alderman Humphrey, the motion was ordered to be published in the morning and evening papers, and a copy of it was ordered to be presented to Sir William Magnay, Baronet. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES, 1845. Since the last Doncaster meeting, the corporation of that town have requested the members of the Bacing Club to reconsider their resolution of the 18th of 5.1 3- tember, with respect to the days of running, and to adopi: the alteration first proposed, viz., that the races should commence on Tuesday, and finish on Friday. There has been no opportunity of taking the opinion of the Club collectively, but several members have approved of the proposal, and as the extension of the meeting to Satur day was determined on in deference to the wishes of the corporation, who were at the time unwilling to have the meeting curtailed to four days, it is presumed that the plan now proposed will be generally acceptable, and the stakes are therefore advertised, with the sanction of the stewards, for a meeting of four days. THE ASCOT CUPS. His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia having expresred a desire that the piece of plate given by him to be run for at Ascot should be a weight for age race for the best horses, it has been determined that this prize shall take the place of the Old Ascot Cup, which will be discontinued, and the money hitherto added to it from the fund will be appropriated to other races. Her Majesty's Vase will be run for on the first day, and the Emperor of Russia's Cup on the third. The cenditions of the above prizes, with particulars of the other un closed stakes at Ascot, will appear at length in due time. A case was submitted to the stewards of the Jockey Club at the last Houghton meeting, by the purchaser of the colt, now called Perkin Warbeck, which ran at Ascot under the name of Bloodstone, involving the fol lowing questions:-Ist. Whether the forfeits due upon the entries of Mr. Newman's ch c Bloodstone, by Bubastes, out of Romaike, attach to the said Perkin Warbeck, so as to disqualify him from starting while they remain unpaid. 2d. Whether it will net be com petent to run him in 1845, as being then a maiden four years old, believed to be by Beiram, out of Romaike. To the first question the answer was—that as it was proved that there was a colt by Bubastes out of Ro maike, of the right age, for which the other horse was substituted, the forfeits are due for the Bubastes c, aind do not attach to the horse which ran at Ascot by th e name of Bloodstone. To the second question, the only answer the Stewards gave was, that the race at Ascot did not disqualify the horse which ran there as Blood stone for running as.a maiden horse. COURSING. THE lINION (SOUTHPORT) CLUB, N0v.14 AND 15. The Scarisbrick (16 dogs) was won by Mr. Parry' s Beeswing; Mr. Edwards's Carmelite ran up.

Basakix, Nov. 14.—The Moreton Stakes (4 dogs) were won by Mr. Hall's Hawk; acd the Basilan Eaves Stakes by Mr. Garnett's Gipsy Queen. MULTIPLICITY Or STREETS SIMILARLY NAMED. —The following occurrence will, it is imagined, show the extreme folly of having so many streets in the me tropolis of the same name :—A few nights ago, a girl, about sixteen years of age, named Caroline Brown, a native of Reading, and who was staying at the house of her uncle, Mr. Sabberton, 5, George-street, Bagnigge wells-road, was sent out upon an errand, but, not re turning for several hours aftef, her uncle became -^1 gave information at the Clerkenwell police alarmea, ..-- _ • —ideavoured, a fter many hours' sea rch, to discov er her. It appeared, at lengdz, that the havingin yaw. ... s t a tion, poor girl, who is of rather weak intellect, had wm f a de o red a bout, and tha t she was found crying on the st e p in George-street, Portman-square. She was tai , ,en or Turfman sent her' to the st ation o-house, door, in t com pany less than five George- I P at none of which was she known. The inspector 1 kindly'e'procured a lodging for her at aco e.-shop for the night, and in the morning she was . restored to her I wide, whose address was at last amertamed. THE BRAZILS. FALMOUTH, MONDAT.—The Penguin packet, Lieu tenant Leslie, arrived this morning from the Brazils with mails, having sailed from Rio Janeiro 27th of September, Bahia 11th, and Pernambuco the 18th October. The following passengers came in her, viz., General and Mrs. Pueyrredun and son, Monsieur and Madame Blanc and son, Monsieur Constantine, Mrs. Beckenham and child, Mr. Latham, and Mr. Youle ; and she brings about 20,0001. on freight. Nothing new had transpired at Buenos Ayres or Monte Video since the last mail, and the intelligence from Rio Janeiro, both politically and commercially, is rather barren. The day the packet left Rio discounts were at 7 per cent.; there had been an increased demand for money, to a partial extent, which had been freely met. The 'Treasury remittances, per Penguin, are understood to amount to 20,0001., and had been taken at 254. The Stock-market had continued steady at the de parture of the packet, at 72i to ; business brisk. At Rio the elections were not concluded, but seemed to be favourable to the present Ministry. The Coffee market had been better supplied, and more activity had prevailed, whilst the value of su perior and first good had improved ; the sales had amounted to about 50,000 bags. The arrivals of sugar were unimportant, and these, as well as the previous stock, have been taken at 3 dollars and '2 dollars for consumption, and for the southern parts of the empire. The following men-of-war were at Rio—viz., the Alfred, Dolphin, Crescent, Racer, Champion, and Swift packet. The Crane packet left Pernambuco for Bahia on the 12th of October. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager has kindly pre sented the Institution for the Religious Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb with 251. THE REV. SYDNEY SMITH.--We are happy to be able to relieve the numerous friends of the Rev. Sydney Smith from their fears. The unfavourable symptoms were those of suppressed gout. The moment the disease took a definite form he began to get better, and he is no longer considered in danger. In fact, he already passes several hours each day in the society of his more inti mate acquaintance. FATAL ACCIDENT OFF BLACEFRIARS-ERIDGE. On Monday afternoon, about three o'clock, a lad appa rently about fourteen years of age, but at present un known, was drowned in the Thames. The tide being low at the time, the deceased descended the steps at the north-west side of Blackfriars-bridge, and walked to the second arch, near to which the Fleet-ditch empties itself, and where there is a perpendicular fall with about ten feet depth of water. Into this the lad suddenly slipped, and instantly disappeared, and the probability is, that he was carried away by a steam-vessel, which almost immediately afterwards passed over the spot. The deceased had under his arm a bundle, which was re covered, and consisted of a blue cloth cape, a brown and white striped jacket, a mackintosh, a linen shirt, a pair of blue cotton stockings, a white handkerchief, a silk pattern cotton ditto, and a pair of low shoes. The articles, no doubt, belonged to the deceased, and from their description, it would appear, that he was a page or footboy, or possibly an assistant-waiter at some respec table hotel or tavern. NEW MAIL COACH BETWEEN EDINBURGH AND NEWCASTLE.—A meeting of the proprietors of the mail at present running by this route between Edinburgh and Newcastle, was held in the King's Arms, on Thursday, for the purpose of making arrangements with regard to a new mail, which it has been proposed to put upon this road in place of the one now running by Carlisle. It is proposed that the coach shall start from Newcastle at twelve o'clock at night, reach Berwick at half-past six 'in the morning, and after a delay of half an hour, start at seven, and reach Edinburgh about one o'clock fore noon. On returning, the coach will leave Edinburgh at nine o'clock morning, reach Berwick at half-past two, and Newcastle at between nine and ten o'clock at night. The advantages of this arrangement to Berwick and the other towns on the route need no comment, and we hope to see it speedily carried into effect.—Berwick Warder. WINTER ASSIZES.—WESTERN CIRCUIT.--The fol lowing days and places have been appointed by Mr. Baron Alderson for holding a Special Sessions of Oyer and Terminer and General Gaol Delivery on the Western circuit :—Southampton—Monday, Dec. 2, at the Castle, at Winchester. Somersetshire—Monday, Dec. 9, at the Castle, at Taunton. Devonshire --Monday, Dec. 16, at the Castle, at Exeter. City of Exeter —The same day. SINGULAR INCIDENT.—On Thursday last the fol lowing singular incident occurred in the churchyard of New Brentford Church. During the funeral of Mr. Henry Flower, a boatman on the Grand Junction Canal, who was amongst the spectators, picked up some bones which had been turned up out of the grave, and which proved to be part of the hand of the body of the mother of Mr. Flower, which had been in the grave thirty years previously, on one of the fingers of which was still her gold wedding ring. The boatman immediately took it off her finger and pledged it for three shillings. On the fact becoming known, the boatman was traced to the Six Bells public-house, where ho was spending the money with some companions, and compelled him to give up the duplicate, with all the money, except three far things. The ring is now in the possession of the Rev. Mr. Harrison, the vicar. BLAENAVON.—DREADFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT. —On Thursday, the 7th instant, a little boy, the sou of a fireman working at one of the It hyrnney furnaces, was playing about the rails, when his foot slipped, and, hor rible to relate, he fell into the furnace. His father, with more affection than prudence, immediately sprung in after him, in the forlorn hope to save his child, and, strange to say, he was quick enough to catch and throw him out, but too late, however, for the boy must almost instantaneously have died.

IMPROVEMENTS IN HYDE PARK.—It Was stated Some time since in our paper that the piece of dirty water in Hyde Park, facing the new gate at Knightsbridge, called Albert-gate, which formerly flowed from a water fall in connexion with and at the east end of the Ser pentine River, but which has for a long time been stagnant owing to a deficiency of water in the Se-zp en ti ne to supply the same,: was about to be filled u-p, for the purpose of making a road from the new wia splendid entrance mentioned to the ride, extending from Hyd e Park-corner to Kensington, and called, " Rotten -row." The water has now been entirely removed, and the Vacuum filled up, and in its place appears a well-gra velled road from the new gate alluded to to the ride, being for equestrians only, as the celebrated ride called Rotten row is devoted entirely for the use of equestrians, no car riages, except those of the Royal Family, being admitted within the drive, and the privilege enjoyed by them exclusively is rarely, if ever, availed of by them. This new road, in place of the unsightly piece of water.,-,6 , very great improvement, in addition to its be; - convenience to the wealthy i n h a bit an t s o f .gig a vast splendid streets and squar es recen t)- .ne numerous Marquis of Westminste r ' s es t ate = ), formed on the grand walk has been forme' Pimlico.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN BELFAST.—On Thursday, ,P between five and six o'clock, a fire broke out in store adjoining Winetavern-street flu spinning mill. It was occasioned, we have heard, by gas, which was ' being consumed in a broken lamp, having ignited particles of tow that floated in the room. From the combustible nature of the material which the store contained, the fire soon assumed a very alarming aspect, and was seen from the suburbs of the town in all directions. A police force and a fire brigade, with the engines, were on the spot in a few minutes after the first alarm, and the fire was subdued by seven o'clock ; but not until the stole was completely destroyed, and all its contents, amounting in value, ' we have heard, to 1,5001., were consumed.
