AM 1101 LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1844. The Herald of this morning affects to be facetious —but is dull by mistake—on the subject of the late great meeting at the Manchester Athenzeum. Mr, D'IsILELI's speech, in particular, diverts our Con temporary exceedingly, and ho asks with amusing naiveté—" Of what importance on earth is it to the rest of the empire to know that this gentleman went down to Manchester, to tell the people there the his tory of what they themselves had done—a history with which they were, of course, much better ac quainted than he could possibly be ?" This, it must be confessed, is smart ; or rather it would be smart, were it either just, pertinent, or pointed. But the inherent defects of nature are not to be counteracted by even the most strenuous labour, an d t h ere f ore , despite our Contemporary's evident determination to put a witty question, be has put—what he could not help—simply a dull and a nonsensical one. From the manner in which he shapes his interrogatory, the reader would infer, as a matter of course, that Mr. DISRAELI went down to Manchester for no other purpose than to enlighten the inhabitants of that great manufacturing capital on the subject of their own particular branch of commerce ; to give them a his tory of the rise and progress of the cotton trade ; and of the wonderful improvements they had effected in the power-loom and the spinning-jenny. But, un luckily for the Herald, the Hon. Member for Shrews bury went down to Manchester for no such idle pur pose. He is not the man to carry coals to New castle. He went down—not unsolicited, by the bye, but at the express invitation of some of the leading men of the Athenaeum—to give expression to senti ments of the utmost consequence to a commercial com munity—sentiments lofty, generous, and bracing in their tone, and such as it does an English audience good to listen to—sentiments breathing a fervid emotion, extensive in their application, catholic in their ten dency, and calculated to foster a sense of self-respect and noble emulation among men, whose minds are but too apt to become warped and dwarfed, and covered over with a hard, dry crust of selfishness from the engrossing nature of the worldly and business-like pursuits in which they are engaged. The beautiful, heartfelt truths enunciated by the Member for Shrews bury and his accomplished young friend, Mr. Szerrisa, at Manchester, will not—however it may suit our Contemporary's views to sneer at them—be soon for gotten by the admiring thousands who listened to them, but will sink deep into their hearts, and bring forth fruit in due season. " Mr. D'lsß,►ELa," continues the Herald, " enunciated some rare maxims, and one of these was, that it is the duty of every citizen in a free community to be acquainted with the opinions he has formed. We hope this is a duty which Young England has not failed to perform, for if their opinions —as we presume their phantasies are designated—can be reduced to a comprehensible system, the sooner some one of the fraternity remembering the fate of the theories of the late Reverend and ingenious EDWARD lavEso, pro mulgates their politics in a known tongue, the more advantageous will it be to their prosperity." So far as we can perceive, there is nothing cloudy nor incomprehensible in the opinions advocated by that band of ardent, generous, and thoroughly English spirits who call themselves—say, rather, who are called by others—" Young England." They are not visionaries—they are not fanatics—on the contrary, they are to all intents and purposes men of the world, but in whom worldly knowledge has not yet' chilled nor destroyed the better impulses of nature. Their party is a far more numerous one than is generally supposed, and em braces many individuals who—good easy souls !—have not the remotest notion that they hold anything in common with them. Whoever advocates the legi timate rights of the poor, and desires to see fair play between them and their superiors, he is Young Eng land. - Whoever wishes to see an end put to that de basing party strife which has so long warped the minds of some of the ablest statesmen of the day, and by preventing them from co-operating with each other, has retarded the great cause of public improve. ment, he is Young England. Whoever wishes to bring the different grades of the social community more in harmony with each other than they have ever yet been, he is Young England. Whoever loathes—as we do—from his inmost soul the hollow, sickening cant of political expediency, and prefers to hold fast by political principle, with out which there can be no true greatness either among men or among nations, he is Young England. Finally, whoever desires to see popular education based on a tolerant and enlightened foundation, so that the false shall never more be mistaken for the true—the shadow for the substance—the word for the thing—he is Young England. In a word, Young England is nothing more than an appeal to what may be yet left of justice, honour, generosity, self-reliance and healthy, catholic feeling in the English character: There are no such living impersonifications of the Dogberries and the Vergeses, whose immortal prototypes were designed by the hand of SILAS.- SPEARE nearly two centuries ago, as the judicial func tionaries of our provincial jurisdictions. Among these provincial jurisdictions, it has always been a question with us whether any could exceed, in the extravagance of their pretensions and the absurdity of their deportment, the courts of our Channel Islands ; the mighty Manx Parliament (this latter wielding, like ST. PETER, the powers of certain obso lete " Keys), and our multifarious manorial and other local courts. But the Royal Court of the little ditch and-orchard-divided island of Jersey has removed all doubt and difficulty on the subject from our minds, by clearly establishing a pre-eminent title, in a case recently pending before it, to occupy the very first rank on the records of this unenviable notoriety. It has now approved its own superior ignorance of the local law itself administers, and of the common-law of the mother country. It has shown an utter want of self-respect in the petulance of its bench and its officers; and an utter want of respect for the undoubted rights and privileges of English men, throughout every portion of the widely-ex tended dominion of Great Britain, by the bare faced and tyrannical violation of these privi leges and rights in the person of an Eng lish gentleman, a sojourner (to his misfortune) among the men of Jersey. Mr. CARL'S WIL SON, whom most men who have resided long in London may remember as " the long gentleman in spectacles," has been unlucky enough, it seems, to get involved in some squabble with the petty authorities of this " islet." With the particulars of the squabble, or the printed reflections that led to it, it is not necessary for our purpose to meddle at all. Mr. WILSON may afford to have them all taken as against himself, and as establishing a good and equitable ground for the prosecution instituted against him by LE SUEUR. We are far from intimating that the fact is so; but were the hypothesis even admitted, it could make no difference in the very serious delin quency of which Mr. WILSON has to complain. On the former hearings, Mr. WiLsox, who evi dently has his, professional wits about him, took various objections to the pleadings before the court, its competency to try them, and other matters which he mooted with so much address and effect, as mate rially to disorganise the equanimity of his judges. The overweening nationality of the islanders is not the least remarkable feature in their moral compo sition. These judges were, we apprehend, Jersey men, and Mr. WILSON, after taking many objections, more or less formidable to the prosecution, had completed the measure of his offence by imputing to them a bias or prejudice against him. They found Wresoss too strong in his constitutional and technical objections, to settle the matter in their off-hand Jersey fashion. The further hearing was adjourned until two or three days since, when Mr. WILSON took a preliminary objection to the con tinued proceeding, on the very substantial grounds, founded on the express terms of a local Act regulating and defining the law of these matters, that himself and co-defendant had not been legally summoned, and that the cause itself had not been regularly entered and brought on. This objection was sustained and illus tratedby the island Solicitor- General, but it was affirmed on the plea in rejoinder on behalf of the plaintiff that the practice of the court of late years had authorised such deviations from the law (a law, as the Times well observes, " as yet scarcely ten years old"). That the objection came too late, was no answer to the original vice of the proceeding as being contrary to law ; and an unrepealed express law of so recent a date could not be overruled by vicious or lax practice. But further. more, the court itself was composed of the Bailli and two jurats, all of whom had been previously " re cused," or challenged, by WiLsoze, on the ground of personal animosity to him. Now, we entreat the reader to observe-1. That the challenge was good at law ; 2. That another jurat has formally declared, that after it had been recorded, these parties ought not to have assisted at all at the hearing of the cause. On their return into court, and when they were about to read their decision on this plea, reduced into writing, Mr. WILSON made a protest against " that act being read." Those terms, we affirm without hesitation, embodied as sound principles of law, expressed; in language as concise, temperate, and proper as it was possible for any man to em ploy under such circumstances. But then, it seems, that Mr. WILSON'S manner, in uttering them, was too energetic ! Mr. WILSON, who had over and again, from time to time, sent them back to re-consider the mistakes of practice and construction they were committing in dealing with his case—who had been subjected to very gross and personal re flections from Lu SUEUR, without the Court's once interposing to check them—whose very protest was grounded on the plea of personal animosity to him, in these men, his " judges"—he was too animated and energetic for the nervous susceptibilities of these Channel Island Rhadamanthuses. M. Lu BAILLI desired him to sit down, and the same high officer then appealed to the Attorney-General for his opinion of the language which WILSON had employed. The latter again interposes to request that he will speak in English. But what says this officer of an English Sovereign, in an English possession, responding to an English subject, and suitor in her MAJESTY'S courts of law ? As if the example of Dogberry tumulence were irresistible,. he, too, takes a long inflation, and with equal pomposity and forgetfulness, or ignorance of his duty, to his fellow-subject, " declines to do that, under the circumstances, which he might do, as an act of courtesy ; but is not bound to 'do." Of " courtesy," truly I We should like to know what an insular Attorney-General's notions of courtesy may be ; his notions of law are clearly not worth the collecting ; but we hope some other party, if Mr. WILSON should omit to do so, will have the "courtesy" to bring this strange declaration undor the notice of her MAJESTY'S Government, or of the Imperial Parliament. Mr. Attorney was at that moment about to move, and did proceed to move, in language the defendant could not understand, that defendant should be committed and criminally punished. Next, the Registrar was about to take down only part of Mr. WiLsoiee protest, till that gentleman enforced the addition of the omitted (and concluding) words. On the motion of the same illus trious Attorney, he was then condemned "to pay a fine of 101. to her MAJESTY, and demand pardon of the court." Mr. WILSON, much to his honour, flatly refused to do either the one thing or the other, having already protested against the whole proceeding, under the authority of a statute. He was then, amidst the insolent and indecent uproar of the native audience, whose gestures and applauses were not even rebuked by either Verges or Dogberry—M. Ls BAILLI or his Lieutenant-Jurat—conducted to the public gaol under the escort of some strange island functionary called a "Deputy Viscount" (Heaven defend us from such a Lilliput aristocracy !), and after being exposed on his way to the yelling exul tation of sundry un whipped boys and men, subjected to the most rigorous and scandalous severity of treat ment, the most unmanly and oppressive vexations which personal resentment seems to have been capable of infusing into the most insolent exer cise of the most ill-administered authority. Exhibitions like these—could we forget the personal sufferings and annoyances of Mr. WILSON in the meantime—might amuse all of us who are alive to the exquisite absurdity of "grave fooling." It is very certain that nothing is more supremely absurd than the strutting dignity of official power, in some little out-of-the-way corners, where it fancies itself playing GENGEIIS-KHAN in an empire comprised within a few square miles of territory parcelled out into freehold estates of a few square yards. But the rights and liberties of Englishmen must not be exposed to the pranks of these pantomimic eccentricities. It is high time that the British Legislature should sweep away the inconvenient and unsightly barbarisms of a former age, and a rude people, in its more minute possessions. They are like old disused habiliments of former cen turies, whose strangeness may amuse the curious, but whose fettering and iron bondage it would be an act of insufferable tyranny to impose on the free:limbs of living men, accustomed to the unimpeded use of the faculties they derive from nature, and exercise under the guarantees of an enlightened civilisation. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, the Lady Mary Wood, we have received intelligence from Gibraltar to September 28 ; Cadiz, 29 ; Lisbon, October 1 ; and Oporto, 2. The Cortes assembled at Lisbon on the 30th of September. In the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of the Interior read a report of the use the Government had made of its discretionary powers. The Chamber appointed two Committees, one of which to give its opinion upon the use made thereof by the Government, and the other to take into consideration the subject of a bill of indemnity. The Duke of PALMELLA presided in the Chamber of Peers, when nearly similar proceedings took place, with some slight opposition on the part of Count LAVRODIO. The session, it is believed, will be very short. The tobacco, soap, and gunpowder contracts, had been let for 1 . 521 contos, on the condition of a loan to Government of one million sterling at 5 per cent. Madrid papers of the 29th have been received, but they bring no news. It is understood that the speech of the QUEEN, at the opening of the Cortes, will contain an outline of the changes in the Consti tution, which the Government have in view. The preparatory meeting was fixed for the 2d inst. MADRID BOURSE, SEPT. 28.—Five per Cents., 201 for cash ; Three per Cents., 28i for cash. The Paris papers announce that the KING and QUEEN, Madame ADELAIDE and the Duke of MONT.. PENSIER arrived at Eu on Thursday night, at eleven ,'cluck. The visit of his MAJESTY to England is strongly opposed by the Opposition journals, for no other reason that can be imagined but pure hatred Of this country. Louis Pnieurs wishes to live at peace with all the European States, because he believes it for the good of his people, as well as con ducive to the stability of his dynasty. The Repub licans and Legitimatists wish for war, because they vainly suppose that the darling object of each would be the result. The Siecle, a journal hostile to Eng land, thus blames the KING for returning the com pliment of a visit, like a gallant Frenchman, to Queen VICTORIA It is on Monday next, that his Majesty Louts Puturris is to quit the French soil and sail for England. It appears that this unpopular as well as ill-timed journey has experienced even in the bosom of the Royal Family a resistance before which any Minister but M. GuizoT would have hesitated. It is even said that the Ku's physicians, whose opinions had been asked, would not advise that it should be undertaken. In fine, and as if the Ministers wished to concur in demonstrating the gra vity of this determination, it is proposed to delegate during the absence of the KING the exercise of the Sovereign authority to the Duke DE NEMOURS, who is to be appointed Lieutenant-General of the kingdom. A journey which requires such precaution ceases to be a party of pleasure, and becomes an affair of State. The excursions of Queen VICTORIA are of no conse pence. She is a young woman who seeks amuse ment with a species of passion, and whose caprice leads her wherever a new sight is promised her, either at the Isle of Wight, the Chateau d'Eu, or even in the fogs of the Highlands. But a KING of 70 years of age should not run after adventures ; and when it is seen that the Ministers who are conducting LOUIS PHILIPPE to Windsor require of him a species of political testament before he embarks on board the steam-boat, it is naturally asked whether the trifling satisfaction of receiving some bravoes in England can compensate and justify the embarrassments to which the Government has the appearance of expos ing him. The KING'S journey is giving serious uneasiness to a number of the Conservative party. We require no better 'proof than the silence observed by the Journal des Debate. As to the Opposition, with out being insensible to the pre-occupation which ap pears to pervade the majority, it reserves its soli citude principally for the political side of the question. If it do not approve of the journey, it is because it considers the state of the relations between the Governments of France and England, and the just susceptibility which is produced in France by every appearance of anxiety on the part of the French with respect to the English Government." The affair of Otaheite has been again revived in all its bitterness by the letters of the Times corre spondent, describing the battle between the French and the natives. Even the Constitutionnel, a journal generally conducted with temper and discretion, looses all self-command on the sutlject. "We are reduced," it says, "to have recourse to the journals of London for the details of the last events at Ota heite, and certainly it is not the truth which we find in the correspondence of the Times, but lies and abuse. We copy these odious letters, which make their appearance most apropos, in the midst of the visit of the KING of the FRENCH to Windsor. But let it be well understood. the people who have written to the Times have seen nothing, and know nothing of what has taken place ; they are guided by such furious passions ; their reason and judgment are so mastered by hatred to France, that their view is necessarily troubled. They do not narrate facts ; they outrage. These English, these Christians, who, in a conflict between France and a people of savages, feel sympathy only for the Otaheiteans, and transform our soldiers into canni bals, give us, by their language, the measure:of their sentiments of humanity and religion. It is true that they owe this last testimony to these poor islanders, who have been in all this affair but the docile instru ments of their fury. If we pause on the letters of the Times, it is particulary to remind the Ministry of the sad consequences of the inconceivable conduct which it has adopted. The Minister of Marine must have in his possession all the reports of Commandant BRUAT on the late events at Otaheite. He has pub lished nothing except a garbled note, which is con tradicted even in its short details by the few private letters which have reached France. Why has this incomplete information been given to the public ? Why has not the report concerning the affair of April 18 been inserted in the official journals ? Where is the State reason which did not allow to be done for Otaheite what is done every day for Algeria ? No thing excuses the silence that has been observed. If the Ministry had not done itself this inexplicable in jury, the English journals would blush to publish the insolent versions of the missioneriee The National is equally violent : " In default of news which the Minister does not give, we read in the English journal (the Times) letters , written by Churchmen, for Churchmen perform a prin cipal part in the affairs of England. We hal e already the Consul Pritchard apothecary and accoucheur to her Otaheitean Majesty. We have had the chaplain of the Warspite, who endeavoured to conceal under his clerical mantle the base letters of some English officers. At present we have other reverend gentlemen, who take the trouble of announcing to the world that Divine Pro vidence has vouchsafed to bless the arms of the Ota heiteans, and to deliver up to them a considerable number of French to be sacrificed. We had rather be lieve that the recitals of those pious divines are at least much exaggerated, and that, notwithstanding the evident assistance afforded by the English, the Otaheiteaus have not done our countrymen as much injury as has been asserted. But it is certain that the English missionaries ' act against us in Otaheite the same part which Abd-el- Kader does in Africa, and it will not be their fault if there be not a St. Bartholomew perpetrated against the French at Otaheite. The Journal des Debats and the Globe, Ministerial papers, deny the statements contained in the letters. The former says :—" In the absence of fuller infor mation, we give the correspondence, making every reserve, and deploring at the same time the spirit of animosity and bitterness with which it is charged." We regret to find by the last accounts from Otaheite, which will be found in another part of the paper, that a still more serious occurrence than the " PRirciaAßD affair" had taken place at Otaheite; but till we have more details we consider it better to make no com ment on the unfortunate event. Our firm conviction is, that while the French possess these islands in the Pacific, the peace between England and France will be constantly in danger. THE BOURSE—SATURDAY, OCT. 5.

MIDDLESEX REGISTRATION.- (THIS DAY ) (Before L. SHADWELL, Esq.) Mr. Shadwell sat this morning at the Sessions house, Westminstt r, for the purpose of revising the lists of voters for St. Paul's, Covent-garden, St. James's, St. Clement Danes, St. George's, Hanover-square, St. Martin's, St. Anne's, Lincoln's Inn, the Savoy, St. Margaret's, and St. John the Evangelist. The REVISING BARRISTER complained of the irregular manner in which the St. Anne's list had been made out. Mr. Corder, clerk of the St. Clement Danes Union, att-nded in the place of the overseers of that. parish, and delivered in lists of the claims and objections. lie said there were only two objections —one against the name of a person who died a short time ago, the other against the retention on the list or the name of a person who had disposed of his property, and who, consequently, was not qualified. SHADWELL said the names of the two persons ob jected to did not appear in the list which had been delivered to him. Where was the list which had been affixed on the church doors ? Wore, however, Mr. Corder could comply with his request, r . Mr. SHARWELL said—Hand it to me. I cannot have the whole day - vfasted in this way. The list was accordingly handed to Mr. Shadwell by Mr. Corder. Mr. SHADWELL, after having glanced at the list, threw it with a gesture of impatience to Mr. Corder, who was in the witness-box. He said the names to which he alluded were not in that list. Mr. Corder, opening the book, said there are the names (at the same time pointing to them). Mr. SHADWELL (with considerable impatience)—H and it up—let me see it. Why did you not furnish me with that list when you came into court. The conversation then dropped. John Thorogood, who appeared on the list of voters for St. James's, in respect of a fee-farm rent from cham bers in the Albany, was objected to by the Conservatives, as the name of the owner of the property was not on the register. The omission was accordingly rectified. Mr. Thorogood said—Mr. Barrister, this is the third time I have been compelled to attend here. I wish to know why I am brought here, year after year, in this way. Mr. SHADWELL said ho must put that question to those who had objected to his name. Mr. Thorogood said he had come seventy-two miles in order to meet what he considered a frivolous objection. Mr. SHADWELL wished he would not take up the time of the court after the business had been disposed of. The lists of voters for St. John the Evangelist and St. Margaret's were then revised. It is expected that the revision of the lists of voters for Westminster will terminate to-day. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.) IN RE JOHN HUNTER. In this case the insolvent had applied, upon Thursday last, fur an appointment from Sir Charles Williams, in order to show cause wby an order should be made to rescind a prior order, remanding the petitioner to prison. Sir Charles had appointed this day, in consequence of the only creditor having obtained a vesting order in the Insolvent Debtors' Court. Mr. Lucas, who attended for the creditor, said that a letter bad been received trom Mr. St a ff ir d, so li c i tor to the insolvent, stating that Mr. Hunter would not attend that day, but that he himself would appear, to watch proceedings. Sir C. WILLIAMS said that, before proceeding further in this case, he should, as it involved a very important principle, wish to consult his learned brother, Mr. Com missioner EVans, as to whether that Court could proceed with the petition of the insolvent after the creditor had obtained a vesting order from the other court. He would, as the Learned Commissioner was not in town, communicate to the solicitors on either side when the matter would be beard again. Mr. STAFronD,In reference to some irritability he had exhibited in court upon a previous hearing of this case, said, that no man was more ready than himself to tic knowledge his error, when in the heat o f th e moment he had used language in tout court which no provoca tion, perhaps * could justify, and he therefore begged that such language might be overlooked by the Hon. Com missioner. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to animadvert upon some words used by the Registrar as regarded him (Mr. Stafford), and he then continued. — " While I therefore apologise to the court. I beg humbly, but firmly, to state that I owe no apology to the man who has ao Sir C. WILLIAMS could not allow such language to pass unnoticed, and, if repeated, he should assuredly commit Mr. Stafford: Afttr tone farther convetzatiott of a similar character, the matter dropped. BOW-SM.Ehir.—(TillS DAY.) A man named Thomas Shandbrooh, who was dressed in the garb of a ship-carpenter's labourer, watt charged before Mr. nail with creating a great disturbance in the strand, and with assaulting the inspector of police, and one of the officers. Mr. Inspegtor Logan stated that he was passing the Crown and Anchor Tavern, i n the Strand, last evening , when he saw the p r i soner a ttempting to force his way into the house, and one of the waiters was preventing him from going in. Witness came up and interposed, when the prisoner s t ruc k hi m o n the side of the head and knocked him down. A n officer was called, and, with the utmost difficulty, the p r i sone r was got to the station house, kicking all the wa y. The prisoner, in his d e f enc e, said he had lost 2 / in the course of the day, and, to drown his sorrow at this loss, he had got drunk, and, therefore, he did not know what he was about. He promised never to do so again. Mr. HALL said these assaults on the police must be punished, and sentenced the prisoner to ten days' im prisonment. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Richard Mains, a powerful - look in g man, was char ged with assaulting a woman named Davis, in such a dan gerous manner, that she now lies in the hospital, with little hope of recovery. Mr. Lawson stated that, about nine o'clock on the pre ceding night, as he was passing the Catherine Wheel, Union-street, he saw a female sitting at the door. In a moment afterwards he saw the prisoner come out of the public-house, and, going up to the woman, he gave her a violent kick in the lower part of the abdomen, and followed it up by striking her with all his force. He then tried to escape, when witness attempted s wit t v,ni oahausnosnewie.nra preventaTa atbhabove statevlwoman him,n describedgmoat f n ah ndc securedt )w w llha a op s mswe knocked ahsaaeuncddon nss tywaae d uak : lB: w t nednnd to ooi y ne Gtx t h h tpuhe e ruffian,yoecs,sttbrutal Hos pital, uiot tnao and a certificate was produced, describing that she survive. Mr. CorTiNonAm said that, if the unfortunate woman recovered her speech, he would proceed to the hospital and take her examination, and that if she died he would certainly commit the prisoner for murder. The prisoner, who appeared perfectly careless as to the result, was remanded. --- - The Board of Ordnance have in hand the erection of various yew spacious barracks in the north of Eng 'Lund, which will involve an enormous outlay.

"A .44 A-- - TT ll_ -1 HAMBURGH AND DUTCH MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) TRIESTE, SEPT. 23.—We hear that the German Zoll verein is engaged in negotiations with the principal Ita lian States. STETTIN, SEPT. 27.—1 t is reported that the negotia tions for paying a certain capital to put an end to the Sound duty, as far as the Prussian provinces in the Baltic are concerned, have been resumed ; and this time on the proposal of Denmark. It is believed that the projected canal from Helsinborg to Landserona, which would be but a few leagues in length, has had some in fluence on this occasion, for according to the terms of the treaty concluded in 1645, with the Netherlands at Chrishanopel, only those ships and their cargoes are to pay the Sound duty which pass the Sound between El sinore and the opposite, for Helsinborg, which condition would be avoided by the ships putting into the latter port. At all events, this news, if it should be confirmed, will excite new hopes in the Russian Baltic provinces, which would derive greater advantages from the aboli tion of the Sound duty. ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPT. 10.—In the account of the victories of Schatnil Bey, in consequence of which even the inhabitants of Tiflis were said to be alarmed, there is not a word of truth. As usual, they were fabricated by those haters of the Russians, who lost no opportunity of displaying their talent at invention, by stating some thing against the character of those in the interest of the Russians. According to the official accounts, the moun taineers hare not only not gained any victories, but have not even obtained the slightest advantage, unless we reckon as such that the Russians have attempted nothing worth mentioning. In fact, General Neidhardt has not fulfilled the expectations that are entertained of his activity. COLOGNE, SEPT. 20.—Travellers who have arrived here from Verviers, say that the popular excesses which occurred there some days ago, in consequence of the aversion to a projected establisnment of the Jesuits, were much more serious than they were represented in the Russian journals. At all events the Jesuits and their partisans will most probably be obliged to give up their plans respecting Verviers, for the prudent civil authorities of that town will scarcely now give their assent, now that the population have so decidedly ex pressed their disapprobation. We learn that the Jesuits are not likely to be more successful in their plans for formin g establishments in other towns. THE HAGUE, OCT. I.—ln order to prevent the frauds which have already occurred in the sale of Ducth her rings in bonds, the Minister of Commerce at Sr. Pe tersburgh has thought fit to direct that the barrels shall henceforth be sealed with his seals, one at the top and one at the bottom, which stamps shall he united by an iron wire, passing under the hoops, so that any at tempt at fraud must be immediately discovered by the breaking or injuring of the seals. THE HAGUE, OCT. 3.—The 1 iutch iron Railway Com pany has published the statement of the traffic in the month of September, by which we Riad that the number of passengers was 74,252, awl the receipts for passengers and goods was 67,990 florins. The total up to the end of September was 515,956 passengers, and the receipts 468,178 florins. AMSTERDAM, OCT 4.—According to the latest notice of his Excellency the Minister of Fina7lce, the state of the conversion on the Ist Oct. was as follows : The sums of the debt at 5 and 4i per cent. interest to be converted was, according to the Handelsblcid, 400,251,200.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 3.—lt is nearly certain that the Go vernment will not ratify the sale of the British Queen. M. Radernakes, Consul-General of Brazil in Belgium and Holland, has received from his Government creden tials appointing him Minister at the residence of Queen Pumare. He will soon set out for his destination. A letter from Ghent of the 3d of October, says : "Father Walle will shortly set out for Guatemala ; he Hill be accompanied by Father Affenaer, and some other members of the Society of Jesuits. The principal ob ject of their mission is to found a college there, and afterwards to preach among the savage tribes." It results from official accounts that the manufactures of cambrics and lawns, formerly so flourishing in the rural districts between Valenciennes and Cambray, and which for a long series of years enriched the merchants of those two cities, is declining from day to day. The linen manufactories are almost superseded everywhere by those of cotton. At the commencement of the Restora- I don 350,000 pieces of cambric wore manufactured every year ; at present not more than 90,000 pieces are ma nufactured, and the value of which is about 3,960,000 francs. BRUSSELS, OCT. 4.—The Princess Mary left Ostend this morning with 125 passengers. Notwithstanding the tempestuous weather which has lately prevailed in the Channel, this fine vessel arrived yesterday from Dover at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, having performed the voyage in less than six hours. The passengers were able to proceed to Brussels by the three o'clock train. SIP lAN t• U NDS.—Vram., SEPT. 28. Five per Cents. Metalliques • 1 IV% Four par Cents Three per Cents.

DiCTIONAIRR NATIoNA.L FRANCAIS.— The num bers which have already issued of this critical dictionary of the French language are sufficient to found upon them the judgment that, when completed, it will form not only a most valuable work, as comprising all the new and acklowledged words lately introduced into the French tongue, but a repertory of the critical and analytical notes of all the other most esteemed dictionaries. M. Beseherelle, Aine, the author, has evidently bestowed on it great labour and attention, as well as talent ; and his Majesty the King of the French never showed greater judgment than when he took this great national literary work under his immediate patronage. The publishers, M. flimon, Rue des Fosses du Temple a Paris, and M essrs . L. vid A, I3er and Co., of Blenheim-street, in this city, have every re:f!on to be satified with the sue- Ms of this undertaking. Puts AT WRSTMINSTER.—Last evening, shortly after seven o'clock; a fire, which at one time threatened very serious eonsetpientes, broke out in the premise; : in the occupancy of Mr. Leight, grocer and cheesemonger, carrying on business at No. 14, Abingdoti.street t West minster, next door to Messrs. Nobles pianoforte show rooms. The fire was first discovered by an aged female, in the upper part of the building, in consequence of hearing a loud crackling noise, evidently arisin g from wood undergoing the process of eombustion. She in stantly made for the shop, but on getting down the stairs she was nearly suffocated with the smoke. By dint of great exertion she succeeded in reaching the street, when she gate the neeessary al a r m . Th e p ar i s h- eng i ne was quickly on the spot, and Was got to work, and was followed by six or eight brigade engines with strong bodies of firemen, who succeeded, after much trouble, in confining the fire to the lower part of the premises. The damage, notwithstanding, is very considerable, nearly the whole of the stock in trade in the shop being destroyed. The origin of the fire, or whether or not Mr. Leight is insured; could not be ascertained. EiPLOSION or Gl4B.—Yesterday the neighbour • hood of Bow-lane, Cheapside i *as thrown into a state of great excitement in consequent!e a an eiplosion of gas taking place in the excavation made in that thetough fare for filming a new sewer. It seems that shortly be fore two o'clock the inhabitants were aroused by hearing loud cries of fire raised, 'Upon throwing open their Windows they perceived that a space of ground was send ing forth large sheets of fire. At first sight it appeared as if the basement of their houses were in flames. The alarm thus created may be more easily imagined than described, Mr, Braithrood, the superintendent of the brigade, with a powerful hotly of his men, promptly attended with three engines. From the nature of the fire it was found useless in putting the engines to work ; the firemen, therefore, threw large quantities of mould upon the gas-pipes, but they ware unable to get the fire out until the servants of the Gas Company came and shut off the further supply of as.

Tux QuEEN's PONY.- -We may state that, among other memorials of her residence in Blair Athol, her Majesty takes with her to England the strong and sure footed shelty that has borne hey sfevAy in h ea r piountaia excursions.---Perth AthYari;ior MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHAN GE.-MONDAY. The returns for the past week show a larger arrival of English Wheat, chiefly from Lincolnshire and Cam bridgeshire, but, as the largest portion went direct into the hands of the millers, that portion for sale in our market was only moderate. Of foreign Wheat the re ceipts were small, but those of Barley were tolerabl) good, while a fair average quantity of Irish Oats came to hand. Fresh up coastwise and by land carriage, a moderate quantity of English came to hand, yet the show of samples of that grain offering was fair for the time of year. Notwithstanding the millers appear to I.a -well in stock, we had a steady demand for selected qualities, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last. In the middling and inferior kinds only a limited business was doing, yet a good clearamce of most descriptions was effected previous to the close of busi ness. Of free foreign Wheat the supply was by no means larg;, yet it was quite equal to the wants of the dealers. Se lected parcels were in steady, but not to say brisk, in. quiry, at full currencies. All other kinds moved off slowly, at late rates. So little was doing in Corn wide! lock that the rates may be considered nominally unal tered. The additions lately made to the bonded stocks have been very trifling, as nearly the whole of the im ports of Barley, from the duty being only 38. per quarter, have beau released for home consumption. The show of both English and Foreign Barley was good. Mitifinp parcels moved off steadily, at full prices. Although, ver) little was doing in other kinds, the quotations were -sup ported. Of Malt only a limited supply was brought forward; nearly the whole of it was cleared off at last week', currencies. The arrivals of Oats having been on the increase, the show of samples was good, yet the inquiry was steady, at full prices. Beans, Peas, and Flour ruled about stationary. Linseed Cakes were in demand, at full prices. In other kinds of seeds very little was doing. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

These larger receipts may be chiefly attributed to the want of adequate quantities of fodder, hence many of the large graziers are compelled to resort to ar tificial—consequently more expensive—food much earlier than usual. Although there was a fair number of both town and country buyers in attendance, the Beef trade was as dull ac we ever remember it. The few prim, Scots offering were, however, mostly disposed of at last week's prices, or from 3s 8d to 3s 10d per 81bs ; but thoze of all other kinds suffered an abatement of quite 2d per 81bs, and nearly 400 head left the market unsold. One of the most important features connected with the new tariff, is the altuo,t daily increasing imports of foreign Sheep, which have consisted, during the past week, of 60 head for London, and 100 at the out-ports. from Rotterdam and Hamburgh. These imports, together with those previously advised, make a total, for the present year, of about 500 head. The receipts of Beasts since this day fortnight have amounted to about 90 head from the abovementioned ports ; but in their quality, as well as that of the Sheep, no improvement worthy of notice can be reported. The arrivals o. Beasts fur the year have been as under : Oxen and Cows.

A le% of the primest Downs produced 4s per Blbs., but the value of all other kinds of Sheep was decidedly lower.

Although the weather during the past week has nct been to say very favourable for shipments a large ar rival of slaughtered meat has taken place up to our markets from various quarters, in but . middling condi tion. This, together with the heavy supplies of London killed meat on offer, has caused the general demand to rule extremely dull, and prices have, in most instances, had a downward tendency, without effecting clearances. There have been on sale about 20 carcases of Dutch beasts, and 25 ditto of sheep.

The public sales which have ;:een in progress since our last, have been well at tended by I) ,;vers, owing to which most of the parcels offered, and which ve comprised about 15,000 bales, have been disposed of at rYll prices, if we except the lowest qualities being considered the turn lower. The average quotations have ruled as i;;_ilows :—Van Die man's Land (clean sheep's), is 4d to 2s ; ditto Lambs', Is 3d to 2s 4d ; ditto greasy, 9id to is 6d ; 51;1 13 , is 3d to is 6d ; Australian Sheep's, Is 5 d to 2s D i d ; ditto Lambs', Is 3d to is lld ; Port Phillip, is 4fd to is lid for Sheeps', and is 4d to is 6d for Lambs'.

These sales are expected to be brought to a conclusion the latter end of the present week. Privately a fair business is doing in most kinds of Wool at pre vious rates. TALLOW. The market for foreign Tallow i s tolerably well sus tained, and may be considered firmer. The stock being light, and the advance in home Tallow last Friday, give a tendency upwards. Fine New Y.C. Candle is dearer, at our quotation of this morning. There are letters from St. r etersburgh up to the 12th and 24th of September. The gross shipments to that date were 77,000, against 94,000 casks to the same time last year; and the de ficiency to London alone 9,000, and to the outports 7,000 casks. Prices then were t shade lower, with but a moderate business doing. The iwnie melt is considered short, and Tallow is 42s to 43s nett cash. RB4CONSECRATION OF ST. MART'S CIRIRCH,POVER. —On Tuesday last this church was re-consecrated by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury—the restoration (or re-building) and extension of the sacred edifice hav ing rendered the ceremony necessary. The Archbishop was attended by his chaplain. and about forty of the clergy on the occasion, and the performance of the cere mony was conducted with considerable splendour, and with all solemnity and order. His Grace was conducted up the nave of the church to the altar by the civic autho rities, and after the reading of the usual petition, the Archbishop proceeded to the consecration and dedication of the church. The Bev. Mr. Puckle read the morning service, and the Eel. B. Harrison, chaplain to the Arch bishop, preached the sermon. A collection, amounting to 2011. Is. 54d, was then made, and the service con cluded in the usual form, when the congregation sepa rated. His Grace left Dover a few minutes after, and, with the Hey. Mr . Puckle, proceeded to Waldershare, w dine with the Earl of Guildford. GIFT.—The late George Maude, Esq., of Middlewood Ile4;, near sr (lc, has left the sum of 1,000/. to be appropriated t,9 the repairs of Darfield church. HONEY AN 1) COMMERCIAL NEWS..

There are very numerous arrivals to day, but except be West India steamer, they do not bring later intel ,igence. The weather in Jamaica and most of the other islands had been rather favourable for the agriculturists, but great alarm appears to have been excited in most of .)ur West India possessions by shocks of an earthquake, Jamaica on this occasion appearing to have escaped. go lives had been lost, nor although the shocks were of unusually lengthened duration had there been any de struction of property. Answers to some of the petitions sent home against any alteration in the sugar duties had been taken out, and which intimate that her Majesty had graciously received them. It is stated that Hamburgh has made propositions for in alliance with - the Zollverein, being jealous of the treaty arranged between Belgium and Prussia ; but the ,tatement needs no confirmation.

The Foreign Bonds are rather flat, generally. The receipt of only 40,000 dollars from Mexico, though, it is said, there is a large amount ready to come forward, has made the stock of that Republic heavy at 341 to 35.
