The spirit which prevails in the Opposition journals of France at the present moment create alarm and horror throughout the continent of Europe. No vvent of a peaceful character pleases the writers in these mischievous publications. They have little regard for the interests of the human rice; they set at defiance even the welfare, the happiness, and the security of their own countrymen. While under the reign of Louts PHILIPPE, France has increased in power more than she did at any former period of the same extent, while her commerce is more than three times greater than it was under NAPOLEON, and the best of the population, who in the days of glory were ?marched off as prisoners to kill Germans and Russians, are now employed in the arts of peace, the madmen who conduct the Republican and Carlist press would return to the old system of revolution and ' conquest, and throw the world into commotion, with the vain hope of destroying the ORLEANS dynasty, and taking vengeance on the Eng- Everything English annoys this wild party — English horses, English dogs, Englishmen, and Eng lishwomen, nay, the Sovereign of ENGLAND, are their abomination. They are like men without reason, and would rush to destruction blindfold. The friendly visit of their SOVEREIGN to the Court at Windsor Castle excites the most bitter and savage exclamations. Now, we ask them, presuming they are honest men and gallant Frenchmen, " Could Louts PHILIPPE have done less ? " The Queen of ENGLAND, disre garding all the usual etiquette of crowned heads, threw herself into the arms of France. She paid the highest compliment to the nation, trusting, of course, to their well-known honour and gallantry, landed on their shores without protection, and was received by all classes with the most unbounded enthusiasm. Would M. LITERS wish his country, so celebrated throughout Europe for civilisation, and, above all, for the highest degree of politeness, refus e to return the compliment to a young female, and degrade " Young France" by an absolute act of rudeness? Would he make his SOVE .REIGN a prisoner --a prisoner, too, in a country which M. TILLERS regards as a land of liberty and a model for ell nations—would he prevent his SOVEREIGN f rom molintaining the old, the hospitable, and polite .character of the people, and compel him to forego his .own ardent wish to maintain the chivalry of France ? Is the bloody spirit of the Revolution returned ? Are all the common decencies of life, all the proud acquirements of civilised society, all the experience obtained by long, and fatal, and horrible wars, to be cast to the winds for the purpose of keeping! up eternal hostility to a near neighbour ? Such is the doctrine of this sage legislator and his colleagues. Would it not be well, however, for these warlike men to ask them , 4elves seriously what they expect to gain by inciting France against England ? Can they de stroy our commerce or our colonies—can they destroy the English navy or capture the island ? Can they invade Hindostan or blockade the Indus—have they the slightest chance of coming off better now than when NAPOLEON was Emperor ? But we fear it is needless to ask them questions, or reason with them. Their great object is war at any price, and if by the mysterious decrees of PRO VIDENCE their wishes were granted, France would Toe reduced to the same condition in which it was in 1815, and every nation in Europe would probably be an equal sufferer. It is the duty, therefore, of all mankind to hold up these firebrands as the greatest ob stacles to civilisation and public liberty, to put them "out of the pale of society, and denounce them as the enemies of the human race. LOUIS PHILIPPE know:, them well. He has set them at defiance. Notwith standing their malicious remonstrances, he has fol lowed out the bent of his own inclination ; fulfilled the wishes of the great body of the French people; crossed the Channel for the first time a French Sove reign ever crossed it in peace ; has been welcomed at Portsmouth, and every place on his passage, with the most enthusiastic acclamations; and is now enjoying at Windsor the hospitality of a nation which N. TRIERS and his clique still regard as the natural enemy of France. The election of Dr. Srstoas to the office of Vice- Chancellor of the University of Oxford must be ad mitted, even by the Puseyites themselves, to be " a heavy blow and great discouragement"—as Lord MELBOURNE would phrase it—to those intolerant High- Church doctrines which they profess to have so much at heart. If Puseyism was anywhere strong—if any where it exerted a moral influence, which was gene rally supposed to be on the increase, and which influence, as many reflecting individuals imagined, was likely to be attended with untoward con sequences to the cause of simple, unpretending piety, it was in Oxford that its chief strength lay. Here it was first broached—here its infancy was nurtured with the most assiduous care—here its progress was watched with the most anxious soli citude—here it was advocated with the most subtle skill, and clung to with the most desperate tenacity. It is not two years since the rapid spread of this schism among the graduates, and not a few of the higher authorities of the University, struck terror to the hearts of what is called the Low-Church party, and induced them to endeavour to soothe by com promise what they feared they could not put down by open opposition. Most of our readers, no doubt, remember the trimming, jesuitical Charge of the Bishop of LONDON, wherein this discreet prelate.— whose highest ambition seems to be to stand well with all religious parties—strove to steer a middle course between Puseyism on the one hand tnd Evangelism on the other, and to coax, wheedle, tnd give an apparent support to both, without abso- lutely committing himself with either. This Charge was, of course, delivered by the ghostly London under an impression that High-Church would, ere long, be 2ome too dangerous an antagonist to be treated with iilent, supercilious indifference ; and, indeed, circum stances seemed at the time to favour the Bishop's prudent view of the matter, for in all quarters we heard of the spread of Puseyism, and of the wonderful revolution it was noiselessly working in the senti ments of the provincial clergy. Such was tie case but two or three years ago; but now, " how are the mighty fallen !"—How are the prospects of the Puseyites " fallen into the sear, the yellow leaf!" Not only have these fanatical sticklers for the mere external ceremonies of religion lost much of their influence generally in the provinces, among the cle rical fraternity, but they have been defeated at head quarters—in the very birth-place of their heresy —in antiquated, High-Church, Laud-reverencing Oxford! This, indeed, is a stunning blow, and one from which we can scarcely venture to predict that they will ever fully recover. Justly remarks the Herald on this subject :—" If the attempt .to oppose the election of Doctor SrmoNs be an un wise one on the part of its promoters, it has proved a happy and glorious event for the University. So heavy a blow has never yet been given to Tracta rianism. The power arrayed on the aide of truth, 4nd order, and peace was overwhelming. The result must be most salutary as it respects the future well- being of the University." Though we are by no means prepared to deny that the Puseyites have done some good—though not exactly of the character which they intended—by putting the antagonist party in the Church on its mettle, and compelling it to be more active and diligent in its ministrations than it would otherwise have been ; yet we quite agree with our Contemporary that the defeat of these zealous sticklers for the mere showy cere monial observances of the Establishment—in the rigid maintenance of which they seem to think that the essence of true religion consists— cannot be otherwise than beneficial to the best inte rests of the University. For what else is Puseyism, but a thing made up of forms and ceremonies—which appeals to the exciteable fancy, while it fails to con vince the understanding or touch the heart—which is arrogant to a degree in its pretension—which in ists on the blindest and most obsequious submission on the part of its disciples—which is strenuously op posed to everything like rational freedom of thought or inquiry—and which, could it have its own way unchecked, would bring us back to the same inglo rious, slavish state in which we were under the domi nation of Popery, ere the spirit of enlightened Inde pendence, impersonated by LUTHER, came forth to rescue us from our abject bondage, and raise us in the scale of thinking and religious beings P Madrid journals of the Ist inst. have been received, but they bring little intelligence of importance, though abundance of rumours. One of them is that the Government had some coup d'etat in contempla tion, and that it would probably take place about the 12th. Another is that MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA had quarrelled with his colleagues, and was about to re tire from the Cabinet. This, however, is denied by the Ministerial journals. General NARVAEZ is en gaged in making reforms and retrenchments in the army, and is about to dispense with the military in spections, which will produce a considerable saving. Madrid Bourse on the Ist.—Three per Cents., for cash, 27k. ; for account, 27f ; Five per Cents., for account, 20i ; Floating Debt, 66k at 60 days. The act of indemnity to certain political prisoners granted by Louis PmLaps before leaving Eu, is ad verted to by all the Paris journals. Those of the Opposition, as a matter of course, are generally dis satisfied with it for no other reason than we can see, but because the act does honour to the KING, and will render him more popular. Some of them in fact say, it is not an act of mercy, but necessity. This is the language of the Courrier Francais—" The courage of the Ministry has all oozed out ; it trem bles in presence of its errors, and capitulates with popularity. The Ordonnance of the Chateau d'Eu is not a work of mercy and clemency—it is a calcula tion. The measure of humiliation and error was full, I it was necessary to give satisfaction to outraged opi nion, and therefore a shadow of amnesty has been thrown over it. The derisory amnesty so long and so vainly looked for, and now so unexpected, is only the redemption of the shame of Otaheite, the treaty with Morocco, and the visit to England. It is the ransom of the Ministry with the Chambers. M. Gurzor thought he would effect a master stroke in giving liberty to a few captives. The right of grace has paid for a Ministerial combination, and the royal clemency itself, exercised with a selfish object, has lost its grandeur in losing its spontaneousness. It was reserved for M. Guizor to compromise the mercy of royalty as well as the dignity of France.' The Presse, however, forms an exception. "Among the number of persons for political offences," says that journal, " to whom the remainder of their punish ment is remitted, is comprised the late editor of the Journal du People, M. DUPOTUY, who was condemned in the month of December, 1841, by the Court of Peers, to imprisonment for five years for the crime of moral complicity' in the affair of QUENISSET, who, it may be recollected, fired a pistol at the late Duke of ORLEANS. Whatever may have been the idea which inspired this act of royal clemency, whether it was to celebrate the late warlike deeds of our army and our navy, or for what other motive, this act has not the less our full and heartfelt approbation. Our praise shall be unrestricted ; we will not even express our regret that this amnesty has not opened the gates of Ham at the same time as those of Mont St. Michel; but we may express a wish that a fresh opportunity at no remote period will present itself, in order that the royal clemency may be completed." - - The Journal des Debuts, in commending the po licy of the Government, makes a brief but pithy re mark on the mischievous disposition of the Republi cans. and Legitimatists, and justly asserts that France is depreciated and humbled only by her own Opposi 'don journals : It was to evince his satisfaction at the late events on the coast of Africa that the King was induced to exer cise the most gratifying—the most precious of his pre rogatives—and add a fresh flower to that coronet of mercy and generosity, which shines upon his brow with greater lustre than the royal diadem. The King could not do greater honour to the brilliant successes of the arms of France than by an act of clemency, the best re ward his Majesty could bestow upon the young Prince, who, on the coast of Africa, has maintained the glory of his country and the honour of his name. This act of grace has in itself an eloquence which we will not weaken by words. We must, however, declare that the Ministry of Oct. 29 has every right to share in its merit. It has given a noble answer to all the calumnies of which it has been the object since it was called to the task of restoring peace abroad, and or d er and security at home. How many times has it been said that its policy was a policy of conces sion without, and of repression within the kingdom I Now the world may judge of the real value of these ac cusations. Never, whatever has been said, whatever may be said hereafter—never has France been-more respected abroad than she is at the present day. It is sad to say, but she is depreciated nowhere but in her own Opposi tion journals, and if she could be humiliated, it would be only by those who assume a monopoly of patriotism and national feeling. At home order and security are established—the laws are respected—public prosperity has resumed its course—and this Ministry, which has been reproached with keeping up a permanent irritation in the heart of the country presents for signature to the King a special act of pardon and conciliation. We will not say more. The victories of Isly, Tangiers, and Mogadore, associated with the maintenance of the peace of Europe, sufficiently justify the external policy of the Government ; the - act of amnesty which has just been signed by the King is a still more striking proof of the success of its home policy." The National thus deplores the visit of the KING to England, regarding every act of politeness shown to him by Englishmea as only proofs of the humili ation of France : " We have already demonstrated by what a succession of deplorable acts a friendly reception was prepared for the King of the French in England. The brilliant hos pitality which awaits him there has been paid for in ad vance by the unworthy concessions which the policy of M. Guizot has granted during four years, and the aris tocracy may smile at their ease when they consider that he brings in one hand Mr. Pritchard's indemnity, and in the other the treaty of peace with Morocco. The aristocracy have taken care to announce how they pro pose to respond to so many advances. It is France which has been sacrificed to prepare the King's journey, and it is France which will be insulted during his stay. The Duke of Wellington is appointed to receive Louis Philippe at Portsmouth. It appears to us that this por tion of constitutional etiquette might have been more naturally performed by Sir Robert Peel. But what was Sir Robert Peel during the period of our great dis asters ? An apprentice Minister. It was not he who was at the head of the allies in 1815. It was thought fit to send the man who commanded at Waterloo to meet the King of the French. The British aristocracy considered that a more worthy homage could not have been rendered to the royal visitor. Welling ton is a Duke, grand officer of the Crown, and much respected in his own country, and is represented it bronze under the .figure of Achilles in Hyde-park. It was considered that they could not do better than dis patch this hero, whom the Bourbons appointed Marshal of France. Had the English, however, seen beyond Louis Philippe, the country over which he reigns, they would have comprehended the bitter recollections attached to the name of Wellington. They, no doubt, considered that the chief of the house of Orleans was behind his elders in 1815, and that the sanguinary road through which they returned was open to the others The defeat of Waterloo recalled to the minds of the en tire family of the Bourbons a victory. But the person now to be received is no longer Duke of Orleans ; he is a monarch, the issue of a revolution which wished to efface at least some of the traces of 1815. The person of the Prince has disappeared, and if it was intended to honour worthily the King of the French, they would not have commenced by saluting him at his landing by one of those reminiscences which insult the revolution to which be owa his crown."

In the list of St. Michael le Querne, Mr. James, on behalf of the Liberals, objected to the name of Alfred Sirdefield, whose qualification was described in the list as "Ditto." It appeared that the list sent by the overseers to the Clerk of the Peace was correct, and that the list affixed to the church was incorrect. The Revising Barrister therefore took the register of the previous year. Mr. Payne then contended that the objection of Mr. James would not reach the claimant on the register, in which his qualification was described as " freehold house," because Mr. James had only objected to the claimant on the list in which the qualification was de scribed as " Ditto." Mr. James said he did not think there was anything in Mr. Payne's answer, as there was sufficient informa tion in the notice of the party that he could either object to the register or to the list. The REVISING BARRISTER said it did not signify whe ther the objection was taken to the list of voters or to the register, for , the objector had the power of objecting to either on the same objection. Mr. Payne not being able to prove the claimants' quali fication, the name was expunged. In the parish of St. Swithin, London-town, Mr. Cop pock objected to the name of John Rogers. It appeared that John Rogers, the elder, who was on the list since 1832, died, and his son, also called John Rogers, made a verbal application to have his name inserted in the list, which was done by the overseers. Mr. Coppock and Mr. James contended that there should be a written claim with the name of the party attached. The REVISING BARRISTER agreed that there ought to be a written claim, but as the overseers for whose pro tection that written claim was required, were satisfied with a verbal one, he did not think he ought to expunge the name.—The name was accordingly retained. There were 53 objections taken to-day by the Liberals. They sustained 42 and failed in 11. By the Conserva tives 19 objections, out of which they sustained 13, and failed in 6 ; thus leaving a majority on the day of 29 to the Liberals. On both days the Liberals obtained a ma jority of 191. The business of the Court concluded shortly after one o'clock. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.) IN THE MATTER OF BENJAMIN CARPENTER. The insolvent, a licensed victualler, formerli of Saf fron-hill, but lately a prisoner in the Queens Bench, applied by his attorney for his interim order. On his namd bein called, the attorney stated that he vvaa not then in attendance. Sir C. WILLIAMS said he feared it was another of the cases of insolvents' getting out of prison on filing a peti tion in that Court, and who, the moment they were free, absconded, and left the creditors to do the best they might. Such cases were, unfortunately, too frequent ; and the case with which such fraud could be committed was so monstrous, that something must be done, and that immediately, to correct it. Mr. STURGEON observed, that considering the exten sive gaol delivery which had taken place such instances were comparatively few. Mr. BUCRANNA N, who attended for the creditors, prayed that the insolvent's petition should be dismissed. One of his clients was a detaining creditor, and were it not for that Court the insolvent would now have been safe in the Queen's Prison. Sir C. WILLIAMS decided that the insolvent should have half an hour allowed him, and at the end of that period he entered the Court. On being examined by Mr. BIJCHANNAN, he stated that the debts on his schedule were 2961. ; that a sum of 51 15s. 2d. for costs upon a debt was not inserted ; that a debt of 1201. to Messrs. Meux, the brewers, was in a former schedule inserted at between 3001. and 4001. Sir C. WILLIAMS—Stop, stop. How comes that dif ference ? Insolvent—The attorney told me to put far more than the real debt in tie schedule. Sir C. WILLIAMS said that proved that the business of that Court ought to be transacted by respectable par ties. He was determined tc put down the pettifogging system which was now occasionally brought to light. Mr. BEICHANNAN would DA trouble thy Court further, as its jurisdiction in this case did not apply to debts over 3001. The petition, after a severe admonition to the insol vent, and to a friend whom he had often consulted in court (an attorney's clerk), was dismissed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (1 HIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a full Bench of agistrates.) This day being appointed for the trial of felonies or misdemeanor, the Court sit at an earlier hour than usual. The calendar, although numerically heavy, was not marked by any crimes oft serious nature. The number of names which appeared on the calendar was 64, of which 55 wore for felonies and the remainder on charges of misdemeanor. The grand jury having been sworn, The ASSISTANT JUDGE, in addressing the jury upon the usual topics, alluded to the recent junction of the criminal jurisdiction of the Westminster and Clerken well districts, by which a large saving to the county would be effected. Westminster was without a corpo ration,.and, comparatively speaking, not a very populous district, and, therefore, h 3 thought, and he was sure the gentlemen of the grand jary would agree with him that the Government had acted wisely in effecting this change with respect to the nature of the cases which would come before them, they were of ordinary nature, and required no comment. Margaret Devine, aged ten years, and Anne Dobbetts, aged thirteen, who were convicted, at a former sessions, for stripping children, were both sentenced to nine months' imprisonment, with hard labour, in the West minster Bridewell. A fine powerful-looking young man nam e d Ti mot h y Little, was found guilty of stealing a pair of scissors of the value of 2d. He pleaded distress as the incitement to his crime, and was sentenced to one months' imprison. ment with hard labour. A number of other prisoners were tried and found guilty of stealing various small articles ranging in value from 2d. to Id., and pleaded a like excuse for their offences. James Connelly, a young fellow of desperate appear. ante, was indicted for stealing a violin, the property o John Archibald Morrison. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner walked boldly in the day light into the shop of the pro secutor, took up the article, with which he attempted to make his escape by rushing past the shopman, but was stopped after a desperate struggle. The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty, when a previous conviction having been read against him, The ASSISTANT JUDGE said the prisoner was too no torious and dangerous a character to remain in this country any longer, and the sentence of the Court there fore was, that he be transported for seven years. The prisoner on being removed from the bar, touched his forelock, and bowing to the Bench said, " Thank you, my Lord." BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A young man, who gave his name as Henrich Spurtz, was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with assaulting a police-officer in the station-house, at Bow-street. The prisoner intimated by signs, that he could not speak English. The officer stated, that about a week ago, the prisoner was convicted of assaulting an officer, and Mr. Hall Fentenced him to pay six shillings, or be imprisoned for five days, He was accordingly sent to prison. Yesterday he came to the station-house, and intimated that he wanted to see the inspector. Ho was taken into the station-house, and from his gesticulations and words in broken English that he uttered, it appeared, that he believed, that having served the five days' im prisonment he was entitled to the five shillings.— (Laughter.) He gave them to understand, that he had been put to pick oakum, and that for this he was to have the five shillings. They told him that he was not en third to it, and he immediately struck the officer. Mr. JARDINE (to the prisoner)—Where do you come from ? Prisoner—Five shelling.—(Laughter.) Mr. JARDINE—Oh, you can speak better English than that, for you spoke to me in the street yesterday. I be lieve you are an imposter. The prisoner made signs that he had been set to pick oakum. Mr. JARDINE—WeII, I shall send you to prison again for five days, and in the meantime I will make inquiries about you. Prisoner—Me five shelling. He held out his hand for the money ; but the gaoler removed him from the Court, and he was sent to enter into another engagement to pick oakum. He is a Dutchman, it seems. -- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

RUMOURED LAW CHANGES. --It is rumoured by some of our contemporaries that Chief Justice Penne father is about to resign, and Chief Justice Doherty about to quit the Common Pleas, and take the other s place in the Queen's Bench next term. Tom Smith, too, it is said, is to be made a B a ron of the Exchequer. As we are not at all in the confidence of Chief Justice Pennefather, or of the Government, we know not what credence ought to be attached to these rumours; but we have heard other rumours ourselves touching those changes, not altogether unworthy of notice. One of them is, that if Pennefather or Crampton have the har dihood to take their seats in the Queen's Bench next term the Irish bar intend to turn their backs upon them. The other is, that if any Government have the reckless ness to promote Tom Smith to a judgeship, he will be pelted with rotten eggs of the Bench the instant he shall make his appearance. Contempt will not, we trust, be carried to thi s l eng th, b ut the very rumours indicate public opinion. —Dublin Pilot. ANOTHER COLLISION ON THE DOVER AND CROYDON RAILWAY.—On Monday night, shortly before nine o'clock, as the Dover mail train was leaving the terminus at London-bridge, the Croydon train had just arrived, and was about to turn off the points, when unfortunately the engine of the latter came in close contact with the Dover train, and smashed the lower part of the carriages to pieces, literally cutting off all the steps on that side. One of the ticket collectors, named Gardiner, had a very narrow escape of having his legs cut off by the collision. lie was standing on the steps of one of the carriages at the time, and had the presence of mind to precipitate himself into th e carriage, to the astonishment of the pas sengers, who were much alarmed for his safety. The overland mail was being conveyed by the Dover train, and owing to the above accident and stoppages on the line for pilot engines to assist them up the inclined planes, the train did not arrive at its destination until half an hour beyond its time. The consequence was, that the steam-vessel had started, and a vessel was ape , chilly engaged to convey the mail across the Channel , the expenses of which will fall heavily on the Company , as they may be compelled to convey the mail to Mar. seilles. LEEDS, OCT. B.—The strike of the hands employed at the principal flax-mills at this town, which occurred in consequence of the introduction of the new Factories Regulation Act, has to a great extent terminated. In most cases the workers and the emyloyers have come to an amicable understanding, but in every instance the length of the working day has been advanced a little— averaging from 15 to 30 minutes in each case—without the wages of the wor k ers b e i ng i n the least augmented. Sixty-nine hours of actual labour has still to be performed by the hands, with an hour and a half for meals each day, as a week's work. The hour and a half for meals is generally divided thus :—breakfast 30 minutes, dinner 40 minutes, and tea 20 minutes. The first and latter meal will be generally partaken of in the mills, the machinery being entirely stopped at the time. Notwith standing that the strike of the flax hands may be con sidered at an end, about 220 turned out of the silk mill of Messrs. Holdforth yesterday morning. They refuse to allow their working hours to be lengthened, even to the extent of 10 minutes a day, without some increase of wages. They, like the hands at the flax mills, are ob taining an average wage of about ss. 9d. or 6s. a week.

MARKET ;TEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE -WEDNESDAY. Since Monday very little English Wheat has come to hand, and the show of samples was conseqvently small.

It is satisfactory to find that if we do not advance with sufficient rapidity in the career of free trade, there is something gained in resistance to encroachments of a contrary tendency, since to allow of the establishment of restrictive conditions is far more easy than subsequently to effect their abrogation. The most recent attempt to obtain increased duties has been on the part of the colonists of New South Wales, who wanted to give certain privileges in an Act intended " to permit goods, the produce o r manu f ac t ure o f N ew Z ea l an d or Van Dieman's Land, to be imported into the colony of New South Wales, free of duty." The following are the circumstances as stated in Lord Stanley's dispatch, sent out, under which her Majesty has been advised to dis allow the Act:—" The object of this Act is to give to articles the produce or manufacture of New Zealand, the same advantage in their importation into New South Wales, as are now enjoyed by articles the produce or manufacture of Van Dieman's Land. It has been passed, no doubt, in consideration of New Zealand having, until lately, formed a dependency of New South Wales, and having, as such, be e n entitled to the same advantages in regard to its trade as that colony. But the principle of establishing differen tial duties in favour of particular colonies, is so objec tionable, that her Majesty's Government cannot consent to any further extension or recognition of such a system. If allowed, it would inevitably give rise to retaliating measures on the part of other colonies, and a system of protection and preference would gradually be established among the several colonial dependencies of the empire, by which the operation of commerce would be em barrassed, and the colonies be deprived of the advantage they now derive from being parts of one great empire." This is a very fair argument, and one which, we trust, will be vigorously followed up, since above all things, and for the prosperity of the Australian settlements theta selves, an inter-colonial traffic should be strenuously en couraged. The English Securities have been firmer, the auspici ous arrival of his Majesty the King of the French having contributed to render them so. The business doing is, however, very limited. Consols for immediate transfer have been 1001 to 1004, and for Time, 1001 to 100 i. Exchequer Bills have been 755. to 775, premium, and East India Bonds 945. to 965. premium, being an advance on the former. The Foreign Investments have been again rather flat.

Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 621 to 621. The Railway Shares have been in some instances rather higher. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List,) 3 per Cent.

BECKTORD.—The will of this celebrated man (whose singular history is well known) has been proved at Doctors'-commons. At ten years of age he succeeded to the enormous income of 100,000/. a year. He expended 273,000/. upon Fonthill, which he made a place of unparalleled magnificence. In December, 1842, the greater tower fell, destro)ing a con siderable part of the mansion, which was rebuilt at great expense. In consequence of excessive expenditure and other circumstances, he sold this property, which was purchased by Mr. Farquhar for 333,000/. ; and Mr. Beckford, with his diminished fortune, retired to Bath. His property has been sworn to as under 80,0004 The K ill has been proved by the Duchess of Hamilton and Brandon (wife of the Duke of Hamilton), and R. S. White, Esq., solicitor to deceased. He gives to his daughter, the Duchess of Hamilton, the bulk of his pro. perty, and leaves his executor, Mr. White, 5004 He also gives annuities to servants and other persons, and de sires to be buried near Lansdowne Tower. The will is very short. PARISIAN STATISTICS. The consumption of butchers' meat in Paris during the month of September last comprised 5,759 oxen, 1,577 cows, 5,861 calves, and 34,707 sheep ; being a diminution, compared with the month of September, 1843, of 222 oxen, 1,143 calves, and 3,356 sheep. The consumpti on o f butchers' meat in Paris during the month of September, 1843, exhibited a similar proportionate redu c ti on compared with the month of September, 1842, so that it would appear that the consumption of butchers' meat in Paris is gradually di minishing. The Gazette of last night contains a notice from the eureilod fl o itc r h, Es, Poor-law Commi ss i oners, appointing to be an Assistant Commissioner for-thealnp twenty one days, from the 11th of October, for the purpose of inquiring specially into the condition and treatment of the lunatic inauttee of tho Workhouses at Birmingham and Leicester, FLANDERS MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUOSELS, OCT. 6.—The account of the produce of the octroi (city toll) of the city of Brussels for the first three quarters of the year has been published. Com pared with the receipts in the first three quarters of 1843, there is an increase of a little more than : , ,000f. There was a decrease of 9,000 r. in the first quarter, but an in. crease of 2,500 f. in the second, and of 11,500 f. in the third quarter. In about a fortnight a new session of the Chambers will be opened. Will the Government publish iu the interval the decree which is to change the tariff in re spect to cotton manufactures? If it does all the projects or improvement and encouragement will be deferred fur a year. We cannot doubt that it will do so' to realise promises on the exemption of which our manufactures reckon. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 18.—The news of the vic tory of Marshal Bugeaud on the frontiers of Morocco, like that of the bombardment of Tangiers, has caused great sensation among the Turks. They seem to have an uneasy presentiment of the loss of Africa, which will soon be entirely withdrawn from the influence of the crescent, and the Mussultnen anxiously turn their eyes to Egypt as the only and last bulwark against the en croachments of European power ; for with respect to Tunis the cleat-sighted already consider it as lost. This may prove an obstacle to the negotiations of the English for an improvement of the'communication with India across the Lthtnus of Suez. The distrust of the Europeans daily increases, and we can hardly blame the Turks for being disinclined to make concessions where they apprehend danger. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Bausans, Ocr. 5.

Every Tuesday morning, at five o'clock, a special train leaves the Brandling Junction station, South Shields, for the convenience of the butchers attending Newcastle cattle-market. This morning the train left as usual, but had not proceeded far when an engine was seen coming the contrary way at a great speed ; the engineman on the latter immediately reversed his power, atd proceed back, but as the other engine was proceeding at such a dreadful rate, the engineman seeing the danger leaped from the passenger-train, and melancholy to state she ran off without any one to manage the engine, and had it not been for some carriages oa the way, and impedi ments at the station at Shields, she must have gone over the wall at the terminus neatly twenty feet high. Scarcely a passenger has escaped : one poor man, Mr. Brown, is dead, and several others have legs broken and other serious bruises. No doubt every inquiry will be made into the accident, as nothing cuu palliate for the conduct of the engineman leaping from the engine, and leaving tho lives of so many of his fellow-creatures to destruction. Amongst the sufferers are Mr. William Wvatherell, Mr. Young, Mr. Gamble, Mr. T. Gallon, Mr. Douthwaite (nephew of George Douthwaite), Mr. Burrell (seriously injured), and many others taken to their respective homes. South Shields, Tuesday, Oct. 8. DUNCOMBE TESTIMONIAL. health has for some months prevented my attending to public business. I cannot, however, allow the time for receiving subscriptions to the Dunconale Testimonial to pass over without enrolling my name a humble. contribidor—illnez , s alone kept me from taking an active part, in Ireland, for the promotion of your laud able object. If integrity, activity, acuteness, spirit, and talent—if above all, a community of feeling with the people, entitle a Member of the House of Commons to the confidence and regard of his fellow-countrymen—there are no claims on public favour paramount to those of Mr. Thomas S. Duncom be. His sympathy, too, with the ill-treated people of Ire land, and his zeal on behalf of the patriots of that king dom, so unconstitutionally deprived of their liberty, have, to my own knowledge, insured to him the gratitude of the Irish nation ; and were England to cease to appre ciate Mr. Ouncombe's worth as a representative, he has only to cross the Channel to find many constituencies in Ireland ready to prove that they value alike, and draw no distinction between the Protestant Briton and the Irish Catholic, when they arc equally zealous and fearless in their advocacy of popular rights.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, Clifton; 4 cpt., 1844. JOHN A. O'NEILL. To Richard Norman, Esq., Treasurer to the Duncombe Testimonial. MURDER OF AN ENGLISHMAN AT CALAIS. CALAIS, OCT. 6.—A sad event has placed all Calais in movement. The Commissaire of Police for Passports, M. Salior, hell been drinking last night with a Mr. Thorne, an Englishman, and surgeon here, at which time they were apparently on very friendly terms, when, about one o'clock in the morning, they went to the Com missioner's office together, fur what reast,n is not knonn, when a dispute arose, and the Commissaire stabbed the other to the heart iiith a poignard, which, after some search, was discovered in the office. Mr. ilhorne fell on the floor, and died instantly. He was a quiet man, who has resided here several years, and has left a widow and several children. 31. Suitor was a man not much liked in this town from his habit of drinking, and in consequence he showid at times some rudeness of manners. Such a fatal termina tion, of course, could not hare been foreseen, but it ought to be a lesson to the Government not to place such sort of persons in the difficult situation of Commissaire of Police. There is a report that M. Salior owed Mr. Thorne money lost at cards. However, all i s uncerta i n, and probably will ever remain so, no one having been pre sent at the dispute. M. Salior spoke English remarka• bly well, and had formerly been an actor. Mr. Thorne has resided here for some years. The murderer was given into the custody of the gees d'armes, who detained him at his own house till the arrival of the Prucureur du Roi from Boulogne. H. Tufnel, Ebq , M.P., and the Hon.

THE EUTE' 'ON SOCIETY.--A grand concert was given by the .ers of this Society yesterday even ing, at the 8.. w a and Foreign School-room, Denmark terrace, Pentonville. The concert was in two parts the first consisted of selections from the oratario of the Messiah, and the second of portions of Acis nd Galatea, Alexander's Feast, &c. Mr. W. Blagrove was the leader, and Mr. Holderness the conductor. The solo parts were executed by the Misses .Py ne, Miss Wells, Mr. Shoubridge, and Mr. Machin. The chorusses by the members were, on the whole, very creditable. A nume rous and respectable company testified their estimation of the entertainments by repeated plaudits. FALL IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—NOVEL MODE OF FORCING SALES.—Yesterday two men drove a light cart, laden with bread and covered with placards, through the northern districts of London, announcing that they sold " the best wheaten bread for sixpence a quartern.' They made several stoppages on their journey, at which they had an auction of their bread. The lame of this novel mode of forcing sales anticipated them in many villages, and the bakers residing therein, resolved upon foiling their efforts, actually labelled their bread for fivepence the quartern, which appeared to have had the desired effect, as the itinerant bakers afterwards found few or no purchasers. PERISHED Wzriz.—Before the passing of the Act 7 and 8 Victoria, eap. 25, repealing the Excise duty on British vinegar, which has recently come into operation, it was the practice to allow perished or sour wine, which, from the length of time it had remained in the vaults at the docks, or other causes, had become unfit for con sumption, and not worth the duty to which, as wine, it was liable, to be delivered on payment of the duty as British vinegar, on certain conditions, viz., that a spe cified quantity of vinegar be put into each cask contain ing the perished wine, on the open quay, in the presence of the revenue officers, so as completely to spoil it and render it unfit for use as wine, which being done, it was removed to the premises of the party, and placed in charge of the Exeitie,being mixed with stock, and charge able with the Excise duty on British vinegar. But since the Act quoted came into operation, it has become a question, it having repealed the duty altogether on Bri tish vinegar, to what rate of duty sour or perished win e . so delivered should b e li a bl e ; an d applicattons;2ltve been made to the Lords of the Treasury, requesting that Wi der such circumstances it might, after the usual process of spoiling had taken place, be delivered duty free. It ha:, however, been directed that, being foreign wine , and strictly liable to that d u ty, i t cannot be delivered as British vinegar without payment of any duty, but shall, after the regulations with respect to spoiling, &c., have been complied with, be delivered on payment of the duty of 4d. per gallon as foreign vinegar. THE LAST OF THE PURKISES.—It is recorded in the History of England, that the body of King William Rufus, after that monerch had met his death by an arrow discharged from the bow of Sir Walter Tyrrel, whilst engaged in hunting in the New Forest, was picked up by a man named Purkis, who placed the corpse of the King in a cart, and conveyed it to Winchester. There is one very remarkable circumstance connected with the Purkises, which is this, viz., that (or upwards of sev e n h un d re d an d fif ty years tey have continued to enjoy uninterrupted possession of the same iden• field spot, which amounts to about two acres of ground, situated near the village of Minstead, in the New Forest, contiguous to which the King in question was killed. From the earliest period of their history it is found that the Purkises were by trade or calling charcoal burners, which same business they have continued to carry on from father to son up to the present time, and which mode of employment has fortunately afforded them .the means of preserving their patrimony entire through a long course of generations. William Purkis, the preses't possessor of the above humble estate, is tow en his eighty-seventh year, and, having outlived all hi 3 relic. tions, is now the last of the Purkivef, SUMMARY OF NEWS A N D Putiltr 1 41 Pint On. euns may read."
