T. CLIF TON was returned. In returning thanks to his con stituents, the Hon. Member, after making the usual electioneering boast that " this was the proudest moment of his life," took the opportunity of observ ing—" I have stated to you a few of my political opinions in my address, and now that I have the honour of standing before you in the proud situation of your representative, I tell you that I will support a Conservative Government. I will support that Government so long as it remains Conservative, for I believe that it is a strong one, fit to rule a great and mighty nation. If I did not retain the inde pendence of character which befits a gentle man, I should not be a worthy representative of one cf the iinebt cc:untie., of En 6 L,n,:." In the course of his Parliame7e:ary labours Mr. CLIFTON, we fear, will not seldom have occasion to find that inde pendence and .Conservatism do not harmonise very well with each other, but that, in order to maintain the one, he must make no inconsiderable s:crifice of the other. It is all very well for him to make a boast of his "in dependence" on the hustings, for the term is a specious one, and tells with the commu nity; besides, it it an exceedingly:safe and accommo dating one, and commits the speaker to nothing ; but should he venture upon putting his boast strictly into practice, he will soon find out that he has essayed a task which occasionally will be found difficult, if not wholly impracticable. Suppose, for instance, he had been in Parliament during the last session, how would he have reconciled his notions of " indepen dence" with his support ofa Conservative Government In common with scores of other Conservatives, he would inevitably have been dragged through the dirt by the Minister—compelled, in fact, to vote just as he pleased, on the penalty of being proclaimed an oppo nent of Government, and taunted with a wish to bring in the Whigs, and so seriously injure the prospects of Conservatism. The last session was a particularlyticklish one for independent Conservatives, damaging not a few of them in the estimation of the right-thinking portion of the community, and we hardly anticipate that the next will be much more favourable to the character of these would-be independent members. In fact, to be a good Conservative, in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S sense of the term, is merely to see with his eyes, hear with his ears, decide according to his conviction, and vote at his dictation. Is Mr. CLIFTON prepared to act in this easy, accommodating manner ? If ,he be, he will certainly redeem his pledge of supporting a Con servative Government, but he will just as cer tainly falsify his hustings boast of indepen dence. But enough of this gentleman, whose prin ciples are little to our taste, for in the first place, there is much that is vague and unintelligible about them ; and secondly, where they are intelligible, they savour rather too strongly of that Toryism which ever has been, and will most likely ever continue to be, a foe to the progress of all rational improvement. At the Nomination to v;hich we have been alluding, a ..;vntleman named LIVESEY made several very excel lent and pertinent strictures on the subject of, what is falsely called, the Protective system. "Protection," he said, "is put forward as a cry on behalf of the termer and the agricultural labourer. They are always put forward as if there were an eternal sympathy for them ; but the truth is—and it ought to come out—that the protec tion is not for the farmer or the labourer, but for the landlord. It is a protection for rents. Farmers are only middle-men ; whatever they receive goes even tually to the owner of the land. You have heard many speeches about protection, but you have never yet been told the plain truth that it means protection fur rents." If this truth has never before been blurted :gut so boldly as it is here done by Mr. LIVESEY, i; has at any rate been pretty generally guessed at ; and but few people who have the slightest pretensions to good sense are any ,longer at a loss to account for the desperate tenacity with which— despite all justice, all reason, all humanity— the monopolists still persist in clinging to the corn laws. The sacred interests of their breeches pockets, or rather what they fancy to be such, are embarked in the question ; hence their determined hostility to free-trade. There is nothing enlightened—nothing enlarged or magnanimous in their opposition ; they regard the matter simply as one affecting themselves, and keep the just claims of the people to a system of unfettered trade wholly in the back-ground. And yet these are the men who are incessantly taunting the free-traders with their mean selfishness, and vaunting their own superior disinterestedness ! Shame on such barefaced hypocrisy ! We hope that, in any measure which Sir JAMES GRAHAM may introduce for the regulation of the medical profession, he will take away, or at all events greatly modify, the power which medical men now possess of shutting up their fellow-subjects in lunatic asylums. As the law at present stands, if any two medical men choose to sign a certificate, stating that in their opinion a person is insane, the keeper of an asylum is obliged to receive such person into his custody, how convinced soever he may be of the sanity of the alleged lunatic. As a proof of the necessity of some alteration of the law in this re spect, we refer our readers to a case which came before Mr. BaoueraTox on Saturday at the Worship g.tee:a- Pnlina-nniirt Sar c roant Pr-T-Nr. of +h. TT ,1;r;.. sion of the metropolitan police, appeared before the magistrate to make arrangements for the maintenance of his wife, whom he had caused to be incarcerated in a lunatic asylum at 13ethnal-green, although she we.s perfectly sane. The following is the evidence of the medical attendant of the asylum in which the poor creature was confined : " Mr. Phillips, who has been many years the principal medical officer of the asylum, stated that during several months that Ellen Flynn had been confined there no symptoms of insanity had been discoverable in her, and, in fact, she was quite sane. She had been received there upon a medical certificate, signed, as the law re quired, by two medical men." The woman herself answered with great propriety a variety of questions put to her by the magistrate, and said that she had at one time been ill, and there hail been unhappy differences between her and her husband, but she had never been mad, although she had been spirited away and shut up as a mad woman. We have small reason to boast of ours being the land of liberty, if persons can be spirited away, and shut up as mad in this manner. That the members of the medical profession, as a body, are most honour able and high-minded, we freely admit ; but it cannot be denied that there are unworthy members of that body who would, "for a consideration," abuse this tremendous power with which the law has entrusted them ; nor that there are ignorant and careless mem bers of that body who might, through want of know ledge, or want of caution, sign a certificate condemn ing a sane person to incarceration for life among lunatics—a punishment more horrible than any our legislators have devised for the most flagrant crimes. But granting, for the sake of argument, that it is impossible to find, in the United Kingdom, two dis honourable, or ignorant, or careless medical practi tioners, still, what precaution has been taken against the commission of forgery? What is easier for a person, desirous of procuring the incarceration of another as a lunatic, than to forge the names of two medical men to a certificate, and on the authority of that forged certificate, to demand that the victim shall be received into an asylum ? It is a dangerous and a fearful thing to have this tremendous power entrusted to any two individuals, however talented, or however honour able, they may be. No man should be deprived of h:s liberty except by the verdict of a jury. In cases of death of the body, a coroner's jury is assem- Wed to inquire into the circumstances by which that death was occasioned. Let the same course be pur sued in cases of death of the mind ; and make it a crime, to be punished with the greatest severity, in any keeper of an asylum to receive into his custody any alleged lunatic without a warrant from the coroner, founded upon the verdict of a jury, authorising such person's detention. Our law will not suffer any alleged lunatic to be deprived of control over his property without a preli minary inquiry before a jury, but while there is no property in the case, he may be deprived of his per sonal liberty upon the mere certificate of two medical men. The necessity of public inquiry before a jury in every case of alleged insanity is curiously exempli fied in the case of Mr. THOMAS TELFORD CAMPBELL, which is likewise reported in our paper of this day. This gentleman, the son of the poet, had, it seems, been an inmate for fourteen years of Dr. ALLEN'S lunatic asylum at High Beach, having been originally re ceived there upon the usual medical certificate. In consequence of the death of Mr. CAMPBELL'S father, the trustees, under the will of a relative, from whom the alleged lunatic derived an annuity, considered it ould be unsafe to continue the payment of that annuity to any one on behalf of Mr. CAMPBELL without instituting some inquiry. A Commission was con sequently issued, an investigation took place, and the jury returned, as their verdict, that Mr. Tnomas TEL FORD CAmrnELL was of sound mind. As long es the present state of the law continues, the personal liberty of every one is in danger. It is the bounden duty of the Government to devise some remedy for a grievance so intolerable and so monstrous as this. Accounts from Lisbon to the 16th have been re ceived. They are void of interest. The Cortes open on the 30th inst. It is expected that COSTA. CABRAL \ , lll iiiajon, it. tiLe Chamber bepu ties, but that he will be in a minority in the Peers.

Accounts from Madrid of the 14th and 15th inst. have been recived. M. MARTINEZ DE LA RosA has, in compliance with the earnest entreaties of the Queen-Mother, at length consented to accept the office of Minister for Foreign Affairs. The decree appointing him to that department is dated the 21st August. The Gazette of the 14th announces that six bat talions of infantry and three squadrons of cavalry had been ordered to Navarre. The regiment of Castille, quartered in the neighbourhood of Madrid, marched for that destination on the 14th. Cabinet Councils were continually held, and they had never been so fre quent since the accession of the NARVAEZ Administra tion. Their real object, though every where talked of, had, however, not transpired, and the public formed many conjectures as to the precautions which the authorities were adopting. For several days past the garrison had been kept under arms, and the police had been extremely vigilant. It was very generally believed that the principal cause of these measures was a dread of a Carlist insurrection. Letters from Bayonne of the 18th speak of the propability of an outbreak in the northern provinces. They state that several roving bands of desperados, calling themselves Carlists, have made their appear ance in the mountains of Catalonia, and commit all sorts of outrages. These desperados will be soon amply provided with arms, for ten thousand muskets were landed on the 11th, near Barcelona, under a fire from Fort Monjuich. However, the contrabandistas managed to effect their object. The electoral returns show that the Ministry will have a considerable majority even should there be a split in the Moderado party. Teruel alone had elected rogresistas, and it was only in Navarre that the Carlists had met with success. It is said to be the intention of the Ministry, on the meeting of the Cortes, to bring forward a Bill for replacing the senate by an upper Chamber, the members of which will be elected for life; another for modifying the law on the public press; another for important changes in the organisa tion of the national guard, and a change in the Con stltution tending to reduce the popular influence. Several reductions have been made in the adminis trative military establishments, with a view to lessen the budget for that branch of the public service. According to a general statement put forth in the official Gazette of the 15th, the genaral direction of the public Treasury has drawn, from August 1 to September 13, to the account of the San Fernando Bank, a sum of 55,271,871 reels, viz., for the Queen's household, 2,978,099 reels ; for the Foreign Depart went, 630,000 reals ; for the Department of War, 32,027,192 ; for the Marine, 3,445,750; for the Fi nances, 14,065,951 ; and for the Interior, 2,124,879. Another return says that in August 66,962,417 reals have been collected in the provinces. Out of this sum the San Fernando Bank has received, in payment of the credit of 50,000,000 opened by it to the Go vernment in the month of August, 42,033,202 reals ; fur the clergy and public worship, 10,894,901, as being the amount of the contributions destined to that twofold object, and of the secular clergy's property ; and 14,034,314 for the expenses and costs of justice, &c. From another return it would appear that in August the provinces were to pay .50,000,000 reals into the San Fernando Bank. The effective sum paid into it is reckoned at 42,033,202 reals. By adding the proceeds of the Post-office, Cruzadas, lot tery, and mines, the amount of 44,009,996 reals is obtained. M. Pio PITA PIZARRO, late Minister of Finance, died on the 16th at San Sebastian. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The following telegraphic dispatch ap pears in the Monileur of Friday : " BAYONNE, SEPT. 19.—M. Martinez de la Rosa has accepted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The official Guzette, of the 16th, publishes the decree appointing him to that post, which is dated Aug. 21. " Major-General Pavia was named, on the 15th, Cap tain-General of Navarre. On reckoning the ballots, it was found that the Ministerial party had completely triumphed at the e l ec ti ons o f M a d r id . " In announcing the promotion of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, the .Moniteur says—" This just recom pense, awarded to the chief of the French naval force empinyed nn the ror tnepersonn e l of that squadron a first testimonial of the high satis faction of his MAJESTY, and will be followed by a 'general notice, comprising the rewards to be granted to the members of the expedition who have merited them, as soon as the propositions of his Royal High ness, to this effect, shall have reached the Minister of Marine." The Reforme thus sneeringly animadverts upon the Prince's promotion : " When a man comes into the world a captain of a frigate, he does not require much time to arrive at the highest dignities in the Stat e . W e s h ou ld , nevertheless, wonder at this rapid promotion, if it was granted to an other officer ; particularly it the latter, after maintaining that steam-vessels alone presented a complete security, had had the misfortune to lose the finest specimen of that description of vessels in our navy." We find in the French official papers the following statement, relative to the much-talked-of corres pondence imputed to officers of the Warspite. "M. Eugene Bero, the King's consul at Gibraltar, has just informed the Minister of Foreign Affairs that Mr. Wallis, the commander of the English frigate Warspite, ent, on the 6th instant, to the consulate, with an Artil lery officer of the English garrison at Gibraltar. The object of this visit was to protest officially against the letters published in- tbe, Times - by pretended officers of the Warspite. , lltlyttiiik has, beside signed a written protest, whietiST:as-:Vrear the_sit4e evening i n th e Gibraltar Chiele, an inquiry b 6 commenced on board the Warfpites,‘byi e .„ -r of the nglish Govern ment, to diseokithe a 1.7 tl e tki th •• •rs published by the Times." ‘ 5 ,t.:,4 • The JournaPdes r ,• • t . s falai t ot S stateme n t th e fi . llowing p ar ti cu l ars - • " Captain Wallis declared to our conaul that he had come to protest as loudly and energetically as depended upon him against the shameful things published by an English journal, by individuals calling themselves officers of his frigate. He added that the step which he had taken was official, and he requested the consul to an nounce it officially to his Government and the Prince de Joinville. Captain Wallis is an old and brave officer of the British navy, and has performed the most honourable services. He expressed to the French Consul his indig nation and deep mortification that such infamous pro ductions should have been dated from on board his ves sel, and did so with an emotion and an energy which proved the sincerity of his words. This emotion was the more natural, as Captain Wallis declared himself full of just admiration of the courage and skill shown in his presence by the officers of the French navy at Tan giers and Mogadore, and as the captain during his so journ on the coast of Africa had been treated by the Prince de Joinville with a politeness and a kindness for which he felt the most lively gratitude. Captain Wallis also expressed a hope that he would return to England in time to be able to solicit the honour of being presented to the King of the French. The Captain of the Warspite was to deliver to the French Consul a letter for the Prince de Joinville, and had applied to the Governor of Gibraltar for the insertion in the Gibraltar Chronicle of a protest which has of course been published. Already several superior officers of the garrison of Gibraltar had expressed to the French Consul the indignation which they felt at the letters which had appeared in the English journal. The promptitude and susceptibility with which public opinion in England had already pro:ested against a p u bl icat i on which it would n ow b e in bad taste to notice too severely had almost effaced the remembrance of it ; we hope that the spontaneous and honourable proceeding of the cap tain of the Warspite will remove every trace of the pub lication. It appears that an inquiry is taking place on beard the Warspite to discover the authors of the letters published in England ; that they will be severely punished, and that the English Government itself has given orders on this subject. We do not think it ne• cessary to say that the French Government has had no thing to do with this determination, and that it under stood too well what is due to its own dignity and that of the French navy to take any official notice of an incident which at the utmost could only lead to an interchange of personal communication. The officers of the British navy and army have felt that they alone were compro mised by such sad imprudence, and the honourabl e man ner in which they ha ve repaired it can only raise them in their own esteem as it does in ours." A Correspondent of the Constitutionnel writes from Malaga on the 9th inst.:— "I have just been informed that Abd-el-Kader was, on the 2d, in the vicinity of Melilla, a Spanish strong place on the coast of Morocco, situate at an equal dis tance from Oran and Tangiers. We have not heard whether the presence of the Emir in that part of Mo rocco was the result of some new encounter with the French troops, or if he came there to watch the move ments of the Spaniards, whose arrangement with the Emperor could not be known to him at the time. The fact is, that he was on the 2d at Alazum, a small town three leagues south-east of Melilla, with 1,800 cavalry and some infantry." Reports were in circulation in Paris on Saturday that .Ann-EL-KADER had been taken, but they could uc,:, up to fut. hour of ~u.., ix to source, and the rumour had produced no effect on the funds. The treaty with Morocco continues to be the subject of animadversion in all the Opposition journals) The Pharamond steamer arrived at Marseilles on the 17th, from Algiers, which she left on the 15th. She brings no news of importance respecting the army, or the movements of ABD-EL-KADER. On the 14th a Te Deum, at which Marshal BUGEAUD and all the civil and military authorities were present, was performed at the principal church of Algiers for the victory of Isly.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY AFTERNOON. - The Pacha, Oriental and Peninsular steam-ship, Captain Burney, arrived this afternoon at half-past three o'clock, bringing the Peninsular mails and the fol lowing passengers :—Captain Taylor, Mr. Annesley, Colonel Brown, son, and three servants, Mr. Allan, Mr. Sallar, Mr. Corridor, Mr. Beddome, Mr. Martin, Mr. E. Bailham, Mr. A. Bluck, P. Felmires, and the Hon. F. Ellis, son of Lord Howard de Walden. Her dates of departure are from Gibraltar, Sep tember 13; Cadiz, 14; Lisbon, 15. Her Majesty's ship, Warspite, the steamers Sydenham and Vesu vius, were at Gibraltar, as likewise the Danish frigate Thetis, and Hecla steamer. At Cadiz were the French ship s -:r emmapes, 90, and Suffren, 90, with the flag of the Prince de Joinville, the brigs Cassard and Pandone and steamers Montezuma Espadole, Vedette, and Basilie ; also two Spanish brigs of war and two steamers. At Lisbon were one French cor vette, one Portuguese frigate, a corvette, and her Ma jesty's ship, Caledonia. Her Majesty's ship, Albion, from Tangiers, arrived at Gibraltar on the 12th of September, and on the same day sailed the Vesuvius with the British Minister, Mr. Bulwer, on board. The Pacha spoke the brig Amanda, of Leith, off Oporto, bound in, all well. She had fine weather, with light valiable winds the whole passage. She brings four oxen. FRENCH RAILWAYB.--FOUr Companies yesterday delivered into the office of the Minister of Public Works the lists of their Shareholders for the Orleans and Bor deaux Railroad, with deposits of 800,000 f. each, the stipulated caution-money.

The Gloucester Musical Festival, which commences on the 24th, will bring together go immuse antsy of musical West. and they all ridicule the ennobling of Marshal BIIGEAUD. "We are sorry for the worthy Marshal," says the Constitutionnel," and his well-known good sense will no doubt induce him to think as we do, that the Ministry, in creating him a Duke, intended to do him no service. France has lost all taste for titles of nobibity, and the legislators of 1830 perfectly appreciated the sentiment of the country when they suppressed the penalties enacted against the illegal assumption of honorary distinctions. Public opinion admits and tolerates through habit aris tocratic denominations transmitted by inheritance, or conferred by the empire. Beyond these, every duke, count, or baron, has to encounter the unavoidable shafts of ridicule. The laurels of Isly will not protect the new duke against them, and we regret it. M. Bugeaud, who was so long the point of attack of extreme parties, had succeeded in silencing them, and securing to himself, as a military man, the legitimate respect of his political opponents. Why counteract that fortunate change in public opinion which rendered full justice to one of the most distinguished men in the country ? Why spoil the effect of a victory, and wound, for mere amusement, the susceptibilites which a great number of zealous friends of the institutions of July feel as lively as the partisans of Radical opinions ?" The Reforme of Saturday has a long article on the subject of Irish affairs, in which O'CONNELL 13 rated soundly for not holding the Clontarf meeting. "By holding that meeting," it says, " He would have placed himself in the situation which he occupied before his contest with the Queen's Bench ; he would have consecrated the rights of Ireland and his own, and gained a moral victory ; whilst, by abandoning that resolution, he evinces uncertainty and fear, and in politics such an admission is an irreparable defeat." The article concludes in these words : " O'Connell cannot now destroy his own work. The seeds of liberty and independence which he has sown from his triumphal car have sprung up and extended over the green hills of his country. His past services and his influence, his new police and his new allies, will tend to retard the day of emancipation. Mirabeau also attempted to stay the march of a naticn ; he was carried along, and overwhelmed by the immense torrent. The same fate awaits O'Connell ; he may quietly retire to Derrynane Abbey, to rest after the struggle ; twenty Irishmen will be found, who have regarded as serious his patriotic harangues, to take his place. Uno avulso non deficit alter." The Moniteur Parisien announces the return of Marshal SOULT to Paris for the 28th inst. The Constitutionnel says— " All serious affairs are postponed until after the King's voyage. On his Majesty's return will be dis cussed the new mode of raising the loan, and the list of the names which are to appear in the next promotion to the Peerage will be definitively settled. It will, it is said, be very numerous. The following are already mentioned as being designed to participate in the promo tion—viz., Generals Jacqueminot, Doguereau, Bonne main, and Durrieu ; Baron de Sers, Prefect of the Gironde ; MM. Benjamin Delessert and Pedre Lacaze, formerly Deputies ; MM. Debelleyine, De Marmier, and De Montozon, now Deputies ; and M. Victor Hugo and Marshal Bugeaud. As to M. St. Marc Girardin, we can affirm that he is not to be included in this promotion." The Globe of Friday, in the course of an article on the subject of a communication, by railroad or canal, between Alexandria and Suez, says— " The reports that have been spread as to the secret machinations of Russia and England, for dividing the East between them, has been completely, and, in a mea sure, officially denied. The English Cabinet, called upon for an explanation, has declared that they were en tirely unfounded. Consequently there remains nothing of these pretended secret treaties but the overtures made by the English East India Company to the Pasha, of Egypt, for the improvement of the communication be tween Europe and Asia, across the Isthmus of Suez, by means of either a canal or a railroad, uniting the Medi terranean with the Red Sea. Surely nothing can be more simple, more natural, more to be wished for, for the benefit of all nations, than the realisation of such a plan." It is evident, from the following article in the Na tional, that the progress of the reorganization of the Polytechnic School is destined to encounter a serious opposition : " The Committee appointed to organise, or rather to disorganise, the Polytechnic School, is not yet prepared to execute its monstrous commission. It even appears that some of its members shrink from the responsibility which they incur in the eyes of France in making any change in an institution of which it has hitherto been so proud. In the first place, M. Tupinier has excused him self on account of ill-health, and he has been replaced by General Tholoze. M. Dode de la Bouneire, a General of Engineers, was appointed President of the Committee, an officer who occupied a distinguished rank amongst the students of the school ; but he did not wish to com promise his reputation, and he resigned the Presidency, which was then offered to M. Doguereau. M. Doguereau is a Deputy who never speaks in the Chamber except on the subject of bullets. This person has placed himself at the head of what is called the party of military re action. He asks what necessity there exists for a poly technic school ? He asserts that it is necessary to sweep away the science of mathematics, which has produced so 11:11114V incipppodent characters. Let the Committee pro eol. This long-established school has representatives in the two Chambers, in the army, in the navy, in the press, and in every public department. The Committee will have to account to public opinion, and we shall see whether M. Doguereau, M. d'Haubersatr, and others, will be bold en0u,2,11 to destroy what fifty years of con stant application had raised." 66 57 OBJECTIONS. Sir PETER LAURIE said he should send her to the Old Bailey for attempted suicide. It was a fit case for trial, and he had no doubt she would be transported. Ile had put an end to persons attempting to drown them selves ; he would now try the same cure for attempted poisoning. He had no doubt that those who took poison did not do so for the purpose of self-destruction, but for the purpose of exciting sympathy ; and such morbid charity was more calculated to do injury than anything else. The girl, at the conclusion of the Alderman's remarks, fell back, fainting, and exclaiming "Mercy, oh, mercy." She was carried into the cells, and Sir PETER LAURIE ordered that she should be taken to the Giltspur-street Compter, and when perfectly recovered, to be brought back, when ho would decide what should be done to her, BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) John Stokes, a traveller was brought np before Mr. Hall, charged with assaulting Thomas Buckeridge, whereby his life has been placed in danger. Mr. Robinson appeared for the defendant. The prosecutor did not appear. A surgeon's certifi cate was put in which stated that the y oung man was suffering from a concussion of the brain, and that he was quite unable to leave his bed, Mr. Wm. Pearce, jeweller, of Durham-street, Strand, stated that on Saturday evening about nine o'clock he was in the parlour of the Salisbury Arms. He beard a scuffle outside the house ; he went out, and there saw the prisoner seize a young man by the collar of his coat. He dragged him a short distance, and lifted him and then threw him on the ground. It was a tremendous fall. The young man fell with his head on a step, and the prisoner fell upon him. The young man was taken up insensible. Mr. HALL said this was a case which, of course, must be investigated ; and, as the young man could not ap pear, he would remand the prisoner for a week, but he would take bail for his appearance, himself in 404 and two sureties of 20/. each.—The bail was procured. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. (THIS DAY.) Louisa Storey, Maria Williams, and Mary Burrell, well-dressed, good-looking young women, were charged with robbing Mr. Robert Frost, of 49, Gloucester-street, Queen-square, of from 255. to 30s. in silver. The prose cutor was returning home from Putney, last night, when on passing along Piccadilly . the prisoners stopped and pressed against him, and he immediately discovered that he had been robbed, and gave the prisoners into cus tody. Money to the amount was not found on them. Inspector Aggs, of the C division, said that the pro secutor was so stupidly drunk he did not know what he was about. Mr. MALTBY asked what the prisoners were ? A constable said they were " gay women." The prisoners did not deny the impeachment. Mr. MALTBY said that, under all the circumstances, he should discharge them, but he hoped it would be a caution to them. CLERKENWELL._(THIS DAY.) Charles Browne, a stone-mason, was charged with as saulting and threatening to murder Police -constable Churchyard, 174 G. At a quarter before one on Sunday morning the po liceman was on duty in Charlotte -street, Bagnigge-wells road, when the prisoner's wife came to him and said she had been cruelly ill-used by her husband. The pri soner came up and accused him with having carried on an illicit correspondence with his wife. This the con stable indignantly denied, whereupon the prisoner at tacked him, and it required the combined exertions of several constables to remove him to the station-house. The next morning, the prisoner having had time for re flection, when he saw Churchyard passing through the cell-yard swore he would murder him. Mr. Comm decided upon obliging the prisoner to find good bail to keep the peace, and recording the recogni sances which entails costs. UNION-11ALL.—(THIS DAY.) Amelia 1 1 1‘Donnel, a respectable-looking woman, was charged on the police sheet with being drunk, having in her possession at the time the large sum of 380/. in 10L notes. A policeman of the M division stated, that while on duty in the Kent-road the preceding night he observed a lady in appearance enter a public-house. He went in soon afterwards and saw her at the bar, and the land lord informed him that she had a considerable sum of money in her bosom, which she exhibited and which was seen by some strangers who happened to be there at the time. The policeman, aware of the risk she ran of being robbed, spoke to her, and as she seemed very much intoxicated, he took her to the station-house, where it fnlzTiO. I,A P.F6/. 1:7 - lan..T. 11.

(THIS DAY ) Several of the clerks to the different Liveries were in attendance when the Court sat, and after being stir orn, confirmed the lists of their respective Companies. Upon the list of the parish of St. Mary-at-Hill being called on, Mr. Quin applied to have the names of Mr. John Bur gess and Mr. George Biggs placed upon the register. He said that this was a case, as was indeed many ethers in the same parish, of extreme difficulty and complexity. The applicants were in possession of a certain counting house in the Coal-Exchange, in right of which they claimed to vote. In the parish of St. Mary-at-Hill it was the invariable custom never to rate any person ex cepting the head or principal landlord, and the Coal• E xchange being the property of the City of London, the Corporation was rated for it. The consequence was, that, although many persons holding counting-houses and other apartments in this building frequently applied to the overseers and collectors of the parish to be rated, they were met with the answer that such a course would be contrary to the rule adopted by the parish with re spect to under-tenants. He thought it a case of great hardship upon such occupiers to be deprived of their right of voting, merely because the authorities of this parish thought proper to enact some peculiar and unne cessary bye-laws. The REVISING BARRISTER said if the applicant was not rated he could not help it, as the law required that there names should appear as rate-payers. Mr. Quin said Messrs. Burgess and Bigga applied to be rated three years ago fur those premises, and since that time had occupied them without intermission. They had also claimed to be rated in July last, and he trusted that the Court would now place their names upon the registry. The REVISING BARRISTER wished to see the claim which had been made three years ago. The overseer said he could not produce it, as he in variably tore up those documents after they were dis posed of. Mr. Quin censured such a course. In the present in stance he was unable to produce evidence, as the party who served the notice was not now under his control. The REVISING BARRISTER said the Act of Parliament required the overseers to place the name of any person who claimed to be rated upon the list. However, it was quite impossible, as the parties were not rated, to place their names upon the registry. The claim was consequently rejected. At the time of our going to press the revision of the householders' list had proceeded as far as the parish of St. Olave's, Old Jewry, in the polling ward of Colman streot. BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE RE GISTRATION._(THIM DAY.) The revision of the list of voters tor the borough of Marylebone commenced this morning, at the Court house, Marylebone•lene, before D. C. Moylan, Esq. Messrs. Ivimey and Allen appeared for the Liberals ; Mr. Greenwood for the Conservatives. The following is a statement of the number of claims and objections taken by both parties, and by the over seers : CLAIMS. eformers. Tories. Overseers. Tots' Paddington St. Marylebone ... 26 St. Pancras Reformers. Tories. Total. Paddington St. Marylebone St. Pancras 586 1,174 1,760 Out of the above number, 393 are objected to by both parties. There are upwards of 15,000 names on the re gister. Since last year, about 950 names have been added. The name of Michael Ryan, registered as living at No. 2 and 5, Horace-street, was objected to by the Con servatives, on the ground that he lived at No. 26 in that street, and was merely the owner, and not the occupier, of the houses in question. Mr. Allen apprehended that it was merely a mistake as to the place of abode, and that the Revising Barrister had power given to him under the Act to amend it. Mr. Greenwood thought it was not a mistake, and could not be taken in that light. Mr. Ryan was sworn and examined—He said, " I cannotliell you the value of the house No. 26 in Horace street; I only know that it is of great value to me ; 151. a year is the rent." After some discussion the mistake was rectified, and the vote retained on the list. The names of Lords Beresford and Faversham were objected to, on the ground that they were Peers. The objections were allowed. Several other names were struck off the list of voters for the parish of All Souls who had been entered on it by the overseers, but who were not duly qualified. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) A young woman, named Elizabeth Morris , was placed before Sir P. Laurie by one o f th e b ea dl es of St. Bartho lomew's Hospital, on a charge of having taken a quan tity of laudanum, with a Tiew of putting a period to her own existence. The beadle stated that the prisoner was brought into the hospital on Wednesday night. she having taken poison, and it was with great difficulty that she was recovered by the surgeon, life having been very nearly extinct. From inquiries made, it appeared that she had been seduced by a married man, who had found her a lodging in a brothel. The officers of the hospital endeavoured to persuade her to retire from that house into the Mag dalen Asylum, and she consented to do so ; hut after wards abruptly left the hospital, stating that it was a prison, and she would remain in it no longer. For her own protection, the steward ordered her to be taken into custody. _ it would not be considered necessary to compel the lady's attendance. Mr. COTTINGHAM, however, said that he could make no distinction, and that she was bound to appear to be dealt with the same as any other person in an inferior situation of life. The defendant was accordingly sent for to appear. FLANDERS AND HAMBURGH MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, SEPT. 19.—Tht , re have been some dis turbances at Verviers; some hundred persons of - the working classes of that manufacturing town loft their work for a time ; they assembled in tho square, broke some windows, and cried " Down with the Jesuits !" under the windows of some of the principal inhabit ants, whom they suppose to be favourable to that re ligious order. - It appears that the disturbances have been put an end to, and some persons arrested. The King and Queen and the Royal Family will leave Ostend on Monday, and return to the Palace of Luken. A letter from Nieuport, of the 17th, says, " We received yesterday official notice that the King and Queen, and the itwo young Princes, will arrive here on Sunday the 22d ; the two Princes are each to lay one stone of the Sluice, which is now erecting ; but as the works are already far advanced, these stones are to be placed at the side of the sluice with an inscription. We shall have a fete, which the magistrates will endeavour to make as brilliant as pos sible, and which, we hope, will attract a great number of strangers. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 20.—Mr. Dyce Sombre has ar rived at Brussels on his way to London. The Duchess of Pahnella arrived yesterday from Lisbon. HAMBURG/1, SEPT. 20.—The Hanoverian Journal of the 18th September, bring accounts of a dreadful fire at Clausthal (a town of 10,000 inhabitants) which took place on the night of the 15th of this month. Twelve or thirteen dwelling-houses, and as many out buildings, including many public institutions, were destroyed. Above 3,000 persons are without shelter, and the loss of property cannot be less than 300,000 dollars.—.Hamburyh papers, Sept. 20. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

Compared with that exhibited on Monday last, the supply of Beasts here was but moderate, though, for the time of year it proved seasonably good. As to the qua lity of the stuck, it was by no means first-rate, yet there were some well made-up beasts amongst it. The weather being somewhat favourable to slaughtering, the attend ance of both town and country buyers good, and the dead markets being well cleared of their last week's sup plies, caused the Beef trade this morning to rule some what active at an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81b, the best Scots readily producing 4s—in some instance more—per 810, and at which the whole found pur chasers. Several cases of disease were noticed amongst the beasts, but they were not of a serious character. During the past week the imports of stock into London and the various out-ports have been good, and of some what improved quality. The numbers have amounted to sixty beasts from Rotterdam, and thirty ditto from Hamburgh. These importations, added to those previ ously advised thi s y ear , s h ow the following supplies : London, 1,230 ; Liverpool, 86 ; Hull, 480 ; South ampton, 160 ; Devonport, 30 ; total, 1,986 head of beats. In addition to the above about 30 Sheep have been re ceived into London, and 180 at the out-ports, ex clusive of 40 Calves. To-day the supply of fo reign stock was confined to 22 Oxen and Cows from Rotterdam in fair condition, and for which rather higher prices were obtained by the speculators. The northern droves of beasts consisted of about 1,000 short horns. Those from Not folk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, were composed of 400 S cots and home breds; those from the western and midland counties, of 350 Hereford, Deron, Herts, &c. From other parts of England, 350 of various breeds; while, from Scotland, we received 150 Scots, and, from Ireland, 30 beasts. The supply of Sheep was smaller than that exhibited last week; nevertheless, it was fully adequate to meet the wants of the butchers. The Mutton trade was very steady, and previous rates were firmly supported. The number of Lambs were rather limited, yet the Lamb trade was inactive, at our quotations. In Calves, the number of which was small, very little was doing, at late rates. The Pork trade was tolerably steady, and last week's currencies were supported.

On an inspection of the wools we find some unusually fine marks of the far-famed flocks of Mr. Seeley ; in fact, we look upon the parcels about to be submitted to public competition the most even, perhaps the best ever brought forward. Some time since—say in the early part of last year—false packing was much complained of by the buyers ; this, however, we have every reason to assume, is not the case at present.

The returns for the past week show a very large ar rival of English Wheat, or of upwards of 11,000 quarters, whilst that of most other kinds of Grain of home pro duce was on the increase, particularly Barley. Of Foreign Corn the imports were less than for some time past. Fresh up the receipts of Wheat, coastwise as well as by land-carriage and sample, were very limited, yet the show of samples were good, though chiefly com posed of those left over from last week. Owing to the large attendance of millers, most of whom appeared to be short of stock, the demand for the finest qualities of both red and white English Wheat was active, and in some few instances, a trifle more money was obtained. In all other kinds, a fair amount of business was doing at full prices. By accounts received from the north of England, we learn that nearly the whole of the crops have been secured. The supply of fine foreign Wheat was by no means exten sive. For the best qualities the sale was steady at full currencies, but in other kinds very little was doing. Corn, under lock, was a dull sale, and almost nominal in value. The arrivals of Barley both English and Foreign having been good, that article was in a very sluggish state, and we have to report a decline in its value of Is per quarter. Duty has been paid on about 4,000 quarters in the course of the week. Of Malt the show was tolerably good. The trade was, however, extremely inactive, and the currencies gave way Is per quarter, and a large portion of the supply was left over for Wed nesday. The total supplies of Oats, arising principally from an increase in those from Ireland, were good. Fine qualities were steady, other kinds dull at previous quota tions. The supply of beans was seasonably good, yet the de mand was steady, at last week's prices. In Peas only a limited business was doing, yet previous rates were sup ported. The Flour trade was rather inactive, yet the quotations obtained were about stationary ones. In the Seed market comparatively little was doing, if we except Linseed Cakes, which were held at a trifle more money same descriptions ; those on the 27th instant, and the 9th proximo of 2,500 bales Australian, pan Diemsu's Land, Cape, and Mogadore ; those on th e 28th inst., and the sth and Bth of October, of 3. 0 bales of ditto. Notwilh,tanding the large inures-0 which has taken place in the imports of Wool from our colonie', , , we find that those of foreign are still on th e increase, as is shown by the following return of th e quantities of the latter taken into consumption : From January sth to July sth, 1841 21,455,232 lbs. 184° 1843 1844 28,518,888 ~ The quantity consumed this year shows increase upon that in 1843, of 10,500,0001b5. • upon that of 1842, of 13,200,0001'5. or nearly ~,„ per cent. But this increase is not confine," either•to foreign or colonial Wool, for it is equally apparent in English, of which latter it is estimated tha t upwards of 27,000,000 pounds additional have been 0 311 : sumed this season over last. The great demand !` home has been the means of considerably reducing th e exports of foreign Wools during the present year, as " thus shown : Exports of foreign Wool, for the first six montbi. 1841 884,240 lbs. 184 9 1843 1,632,227 „ 1844 ,493,414 „ Of English Wools, the declared value of the export s in the first six months of the year was as follows :--- 1841 £212,670 1842 252,100 1843 150,355 1844 181,412 Although the deliveries for home use have been verl f large, it is fully apparent that the stocks in the hands ° the farmers and others ar e ex t ens i ve even f or t h e time °t year. Prospectively speaki ng , un d er t h ese c i rcu mstance s ' we see no reason to anticip a t e an y a d vance i n the P.ll e O . sent quotations. As the public sales are en grossr, nearly the whole of the att en ti on o f t h e tra d e , the d e ' mand, privatvly, is inactive, at last week's currencies. BOROUGH HOPBTARZEIT. has A very extensive supply of new Hops been re' ceived here since our last, chiefly from Kent and Susses, making in all, a total arrival, since picking has be e l, commenced, of about 1,500 pock e ts. A ve r y great d". ference is observable in the quality of these Hops, fi eld ( of them being very superior, others extremely out j e d condition. The finest descriptions commenced a rev/ sale, at half prices ; but in other kinds, very little 115 doing. Yearlings and Old Hcps move off steadily, at e ll ,: quotations.
