" The undersigned, &c., having transmitted to his Government the number of the Diario de Governo, from which it appeared that her Most Faithful Majesty's Government bad issued an order, provisionally confirm ing a Codwention relative to the slave trade under the Portuguese flag, and concluded between Lieutenant Tucker and the Governors General of Angola, has re ceived instructions to acquaint her Most Faithful Ma jesty's Government, through Baron R. de Sihrosa, that her Majesty's Government has not confirmed the afore said Convention (which was concluded by Lieutenant Tucker from laudable motives, but yet without any authorisation), the necessity of that Convention having ceased, in consequence of the general instructions which have been given to her Majesty's cruisers, with regard to the capture and detention of vessels found traffick ing in slaves under the Portuguese flag.—The under signed avails himself, &c. (Signed) " HOWARD DE WALDEN." TRANSLATION OF BARON RIBEIRA DE SABROSA ' S REPLY TO THE FOREGOING. " Foreign Office, Lisbon, Nov. 20, 1339. The undersigned, &c., had the honour to receive Lord Howard de Walden's note of the 15th inst., ac quainting him that the British Government had not ap proved of the convention signed at Angola, by the Governor of that province,iiVice-Admiral de Noronha, and by Lieut. Turner, of the British navy, on the 29th of May, 1839, and the observance of which, provision ally, was enjoined by her Majesty the Queen, in an order from the Minister of Marine, dated the 30th of September last. " Her Majesty's Government, in acknowledging this communication, cannot by any means admit the right which the British Government arrogates by virtue of the bill presented to Parliament, to give the instructions to which his Lordship alludes for the capture and disposal of vessels found trading in slaves under the Portuguese flag and south of the Equator,—instructions, in consequence of which, his Lordship se ) s, the necessity for the said Convention had ceased, and a gainst which her Majesty's Government now renews the protest made by her Majesty's Minister in London. " Meanwhile the conclusion of that Convention hav ing been solicited in the name of the British Govern ment by Lit ut. Tucker, her Majesty's Government has the satisfaction of having shown, by its promptness in approving of it, by the issue of the order above-men tioned, the good faith with which it concurs, on its p;rt, towards the total abolition of the slave trade, wheneree its co-operation for that purpose is called for, within the bounds sanctioned by the general law of nations, and to the extent stipulated by treaties, conditions which the dignity of her Majesty's Crown eannot dispense with.

ATHENS, Nov. 7.—1 beg to call your attention to the following Royal Ordinance, in date of the 1628th September last, communicated to all the Governors of Provinces by a secret circular of the Home Office. It is styled " An Ordinance for the transportation of the heads of families suspected of being in connection with brigands and begins, " Otho, by the grace of God, King of Greece." " On the Report of our Home Minister, and seeing the necessity of adopting sti'l more extraordinarily se vere measures for the suppression of brigandage : we ordain that in the Governments of Lacedemonia, Mas senia, Iriphylis, Gortyne, Mantines, Cynethe, Elis, Ar canania, and Etolia, comprising also the sub-govern ments of Triconia and Pylias, the measure of transpor tation shall be extended also to those suspected of giving food or asylum to the brigands, or of receiving stolen effects. " 1. This transportation to apply to the heads of families. " 2. Those suspected to be divided into two classes— the gravely suspected, and the slightly suspected. The first to be transported from the Mores to Continental Greece, and from Continental Greece to Argolide and Ellis ; the latter to the chief town of the Government in which they reside, to be under the surveillance of the police. " 3. Those shall be deemed suspected of the said of fences who are pointed at by public fame, or by their townsmen as such, but against whom no legal proof exists to proceed against them. The governor and officer of gendarmes drawing up a list of their names, and transmitting the same to the Home Secretary for his approval. " This ordinance to remain in force one year. And these measures may be extended to other provinces if found necessary. _ _ (Signed) (Countersigned) " OTHO. " G. GLARAKIS, Minister of the Interior." The minister in his circular to all governors, com municates this decree, and calls on them, also, if they have any suspected persons in their districts to de• nounce them, and to threaten the extension of the law to the said district, and to report on the effect of the threat, and if it be necessary, to carry it into execution. Can any one, after this, doubt of the existence of brigandage in Greece, whoa the Governmrnt finds itself compelled to adopt such a measure as to transport persons suspected by common report of knowing the brigands ? And mark ! Eleven out of thirty-four go vernments are thus put out of the pale of the law. The press here loudly exclaims against this Neronian decree ; and it is saying little for the efficacy of King Otho's Government that it has been obliged to have recourse to such steps to put down brigandage, which infects the country from Navarino to Epidauras—from Maine to Calavoita ; and in no part of the Morea is travelling safe. A partial change of Ministry has taken place. M. G. Spaniolaky, the Finance Minister, has insisted on his resignation being accepted, refusing any longer to be the tool of the adventurer Reg-fly. The latter is now at the head of the finances, with three clerks as Coun cillors, and promises soon to bring the treasury of Greece to as low a pitch as he has brought his own. It is said that the soi disant Prince Soutzo, late Ambassador in London, is to be President of the Council, and Foreign Minister ; that his son-in-law, Zographos, is to return to Constantinople as Ambassa dor ; that Metaxa, late envoy to Spain, is to be Home Minister ; and that M. Glaraky is to take the depart ment of public instruction. All these are the rough going Russians. As for the giving any satisfaction to England for all the insults she has received from this wretched Go vernment, it is not thought of. Both the authorities end their organs of the press openly state that the Go vernment, instead of giving satisfaction demand it.— Morning Herald. HIGH-WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morning 25 minute., after 0 t Evening LO minutes attar 0. 1 .7.41 - ielprA 6 , (4-7-te • I)t GERMAN PAPERS. .JASSY, Nov. l3.—There is a report of an unsuccessful action that the Russian troops had in Abchaiia, in the beginning of September. A strong column found an im portant defile unoccupied, which leads to the villages in the mountains. The Russian officers thought that this op portunity ought not to be neglected of penetrating through the defile into the interior of the country. The soldiers refused to adTance, and the officers were obliged to take the lead in entering the defile. After half an hour's march the column was attacked by the Abcharians, who made a dreadful slaughter. They spared their powder and cast stones from the steep sides of the mountains. Most of the officers fell, and the troops fled in the greatest confusion. The bodies of the slai❑ and the wounded that fell into the hands of the savage Abcharians were dreadfully mutilated, and thrown into deep clefts of the mountains. TufRaTE, Nov. 21.—The last steam boat from the east brings word that a Turkish ship, manned by fifty or sixty Turkish savors and soldiers, had succeeded in getting out of the harbour of Alexandria into the open rea, and will probably endeavour to reach a Turkish port. It is believed at Alexandria that the leader of these people, who before his departure or flight con ferred with many officers of the Turkish fleet, is com missioned by them to make important communications to Chosrew Pacha. This event is not without import ; :CC. being generally considered as a symptom of the ""satisfaction of the crews of the Turkish feet in the harbou r of Alexandria. Actual Btl LDGeb'n. 1.

We understand there is no truth in the statement of Mr. Justice Littledale's resignation, which appeared in a Morning Paper. hos LONDON : TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3:1839. We have received a letter complaining of the proceedings of the Magistrates at Newport in exa mining, as reported in our Paper of the 23d ult., GEORGE HODGE, in the case of JENKIN MORGAN, though his evidence only bore hard on Mr. FROST, and did not touch MORGAN, and though Mr. GEACII appealed to them against such an irregular and partial proceeding. We now notice the cir cumstance, lest we should be unable to insert the letter, and quite agree with our Correspondent, that the examination, which only went to prejudice Mr. FROST, was improperly and unduly entered into in his absence. If the Government and the laws should be placed in the wrong, in relation to Mr. FROST, they now being completely in the right, it will arise from the injudicious proceedings of the Magistrates and some portion of the Press. United they seem to press or► Mr. FROST, as our Correspondent re marks, more with the vindictiveness of partizans than the stern impartiality of Judges. Several days ago we drew attention to the im proper manner in which the Times, and other Tory Journals, inserted tales and stories of Mr. FROST, relating to his conduct several years back, but ob viously intended now to raise a prejudice against him in the public mind. Our condemnation of that course of proceeding wns echoed by the Weekly Chronicle, but the lesson was thrown away on the worse than blockhead who reports for the Times. Yesterday it contained a column and a quarter of extracts of letters, &c., all calculated to hold up Mr. FROST as a long-established demagogue, directing the people to meet by 30,000 at a time, and having them completely under his com mand ; or to represent him as so formidable— threats being used if he be injured—as to leave the Government no alternative but to execute Mr. FROST if he be found guilty. If such matters transpire in evidence, the Journals are bound to publish them, but to rake back in old reports and old letters to criminate Mr. FROST, is now not decent in a public Journalist. At the same time, it is most injurious to the public cause for it gives him the air of being a persecuted man, and enlists the sympathies of the multitude in his favour. It is a remark of Lord MAHON, in his History of Europe subsequent to the peace of Utrecht, that the people are always much more affected by persons than by prin ciples, though the former do not concern them and the latter do. But the proceedings we con demn combine both these sources of interest in one object. The multitude are already deeply ena moured—too deeply, we are afraid, for the peace of the empire—of the principles advocated by Mr. FROST ; and the dead set made at him by some part of the press, centers their interest and affec tions in him personally, and will make him appear at once a hero and a martyr. According to the report in the Times yesterday, the Rev. Mr. COLES, on telling JOHN WILLIAMS that he was discharged, advised him " to mind his work, and give up all connection with Chartist lodges." Now, however good such advice may be, it is scarcely suitable for a Magistrate, sitting to inquire into charges of sedition and treason, to give. The Chartists, are a mere body of politicians, whose opinions, right or wrong, are embraced by a great number of persons. They are no more necessarily conjoined with violence than are the opinions of the Tories or the Whigs. The multitude who have embraced those opinions are not lovers of violence, and, by singling out the Chartists as objects of his animadversion, the Rev. Mr. COLES fuses them and the violent people all into one mass. He does what he can to make the Chartists think more fervently than ever that Mr. FROST'S cause is their cause, while prudence would separate them as widely as possible. Believing that the conduct of this Rev. Gentleman is injudicious, it adds to the aversion we have to see one of his cloth so forward and willing in performing one of the most disagreeable tasks of the Civil Magistrate. The waspish Bishop of EXETER is again at his old trade of misrepresentation. We do not wonder that he winces under the lash which the Marquis of LANSDOWNE has laid so sharply on his back, nor that he should try to get some relief from the pain ; but we do wonder at the impudence of his tricks. He seems to think that all men are blind, and that any deception, however gross, may be practised upon them. In one of the letters which we have inserted elsewhere the Bishop labours to make the world be lieve that the Marquis of LA NSDOWNE stated what was untrue, when he said that Mr. JELLINGER SYMONS disclaimed certain opinions imputed to him by the Right Rev. Prelate. Now on this point there cannot be better authority than Mr. i S rne Y s uNIIOtNo w o r dsf rap S i:_, himself. , That gentleman uses the follow sSo far from this opinion being the own experience, it forms a part of a communication from a Mr. WITHERS, a manufac turer, near Charleroi, attached indeed to my Re port, but with a distinct satement that I annexed it without in any degree vouching for the accuracy of the facts detailed by this gentleman, who is personally unknown t• me.'

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1P39. disclaimer before his eyes, does the Bishop of EXETER quote another man's opinion as mine." If ever there was a " disclaimer," we think this is one, but it seems the Marquis of LANSDOWNE is not, even after this, to be allowed to say that Mr. SYNfONS disclaimed the opinions imputed to him by the pious and ingenuous Bishop I The shuffling and unprincipled conduct of this devout High Priest is disgusting every body. Even the Morning Post, whose stomach, God knows, is none of the most squeamish, when the faults of a Bishop are to he bolted, can stand it no longer. On Saturday last our Contemporary deals out the following tribute of respect to the Right Reverend Father in God : " There are many persons of serious habits," it says, " and of sound principle, who regard with no slight measure of distastefulness and regret, the h ot, hasty zeal of the Bishop of EXETER, which seems to them to be often marred by his Lordship's incau tion, and often disfigured, on the other hand, by an ultra cleverness which makes calm simplicity ashamed." Here is a bit of a tickler for old Toby. We noticed in our Journal of Monday the great similarity of the conduct of the Priests, whatever Church they belong to, all over the world. Every where they are, as BERENGER says of them, stifling knowledge and kindling strife." Of the identity of their proceedings we shall now lay another proof before our readers. The Rev. Mr. GREGG and his followers have lately ascribed the increase of vice and crime to the countenance given by the State to Roman Catholicism. Now, see how exactly his doctrine is echoed by a Roman Catholic Bishop " The Bishop of Modena," says the Commerce, " has published a pastoral letter upon the recent inundations of the Po, which, it appears, had erroneously been ascribed to the melting of the snow in the Alps, for the Prelate unhesitatingly asserts that they are a scourge sent by heaven to punish Italy for having suffered the intro duction into the country of iniquitous doctrines, and of an innumerable quantity of pernicious writings of all sorts, and the propagation of the principles of the Satanic school of the Seine, the rationalism of the aorta and the ravings of phrenology." At the Bishop's ravings every Protestan I will laugh, and every Roman Catholic will laugh at the denunciations of Mr. GREGG. We agree ' , with both in laughing each at the other ; and hope our readers will agree with us in finding in the mutual denunciations of these Rev. Gentlemen evidence of the same kind of priestcraft in both. Both from precisely the same motive use the same kind of language. Priestcraft is unaltered, and has been the same in all ages, attempting, by threats of the Unseen and the Unknown, to subdue the aspiring but timid spirit of man to its own purposes. The Bishop of MODENA and Mr. GREGG equally seek to terrify their followers from examining or adopting any other doctrines than theirs, by threats of great and alarming evils. Fortunately, they neutralize each other, which seems their only use. We have received a file of the Bombay Gazette to the Bth of October inclusive. The news brought by these Journals is of local rather than of Euro pean interest. We learn from them, with grea t regret, that heavy charges have been preferred against General Sir J. KEANE for the cool-blooded slaughter of a number of prisoners taken in action during the siege of Ghuznee. It is not stated that Sir JOHN directly ordered the unfortunate prisoners to he shot, but that he permitted SHAH SOOJAH 00L-MOOLK to put them to death for fighting, against their Sovereign I Were this statement cor rect, which we trust it is not, we should hold Sir JOHN KEANE as morally guilty of the death of these men as if he personally superintended their execution. To charge the SHAH with the crime, in the presence of a British Commander in whose hands he was a mere ,puppet, would be preposterous. But whether this story be true or false, and it is impossible that it should long continue doubtful, it appears that the restored SHAH is distinguishing the com mencement of his new reign by the most atrocious acts of cruelty against the adherents of KAM RAM• Putting out eyes, cutting off noses, and slitting of lips, are the daily occupations of his Ministers of Justice. The new Rajah of SATTARAH is stated to have been so " gloriously drunk " on the morning of his installation, that he was carried from his camp to his Palace on a board on the shoulders of four of his loyal subjects, hiccuping all the way his grati tude to the British Government for making him a Sovereign. We find no news in these Journals from China of a later date than the accounts received eight days ago in London. There was a rumour that Sir JOHN KEANE had resigned the command of the army of the Indus. We regret to announce the following melancholy event, which we give in the following extract from the Ceylon Herald : "We have this day the painful duty of announcing the death of Mr. Justice Stoddart, which melancholy event took place last night at his residence at Marandhan." - _ CHOLERA.—(From a Correspondent travelling.)—At Mobullab, near Sbolapore, we regret to hear that the cholera rages to that extent that the nurnber,of deaths have of late averaged frorn4oo to 500 daily.—lbid.

Joudpore Legion, consisting of a regiment of infantry, one of cavalry, and two guns, under the com mand of Captain Mailing, and the Beawr corps, under the command of Captain Dixon. No resistance was offered, although the enemy had ten guns and six or seven hundred men in the town. Mertal also fell on the same day to the 72d and 22d Regiments of N. 1., with two squadrons of the 9th Cavalry and Light Field Battery, and Pindwarrah was about to be taken by Major Forster's Brigade. The Light Detachment from Nusseerabad, the Joudpore Legion, Beawr corps, and Major Forster's Brigade, were to push on immediately in advance to Joudpore.

ROLLS' COURT'.--(THIS DA y.) Consent petitions were taken at the sitting o► the Court. HOARE V. WATTS. Counsel were afterwards heard in this case, which came hflore the Court upon a motion for an injunction. The plaintiffs were Sir Henry Hugh Hoare and Thomas Palmer, who were the owners of a hum stone quarry at Tawton, in D,%.onshire. On, the 18th of April, 1833, they granted a lease to the defendants for 14 years, of acres of land, at a rent of 3421. per annum, durinu a portion of the term, and 4071. p , ..r annum during tin reinaintlen of tine term. The pnamtiff contended that the defendant was proceeding to work tine quarry in an improper and unworkmatilike manner, and in viola tion of the covenants of the lease ; and the present mo tion was for an injunction to restrain them from doing so. The simple qoestion, therefore, on which the opinion of the Court is asked, is this, whether that which is avowed and professed by the d•tfclidants us thy: c.wse of working, which they were pursuing and intended to pursue, was in accord ance witn the.provisions of the 'ease ? Tine case was opened yesterday, Mr. Pemberton, Mr. Kindersley, and Mr Rolfe ap peared for the plaintiffs. Tk:mple, Richards, and Wilcock for the de fendauts. T..e arguments of Coun:,el are not likely to termi nate to-day. EXCHEQUER IN EQUITY. (THIS DAY.) Sittings before Mr. Baron ALDERSON, at Sergeant's Inn.) KNIGHT V. THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD. Mr. Puitvis applied to hi, Lordship to postpone this case, which stood at the head of the paper, until the 9th inst., in consequence of the absence of the Learned Counsel for the Marquis of Waterford, the Solicitor-General, who was engaged at present at Newark.—( A laugh.) Mr. Baron ALDERSON disliked making particular appointments. Business was very much facilitated by going on in its regular course. Mr. PURVlS—Unfortunately, we cannot proceed with it now. Mr. SIMKINSON did not understand how the case got ;nto the paper to-day at all. It would take several days. Mr. Thiron ALDERSON—IF so, it ought to go over from cause day to cause day, otherwise the inconve nience to other suitors will be very considerable. Mr. Puavis suggested that it might be fixed for the 9th. Mr. Thron ALDERSON—The Solicitor-General will probably then be at Monmouth. He will continue to oscillate between London, Monmouth, and Newark.— (Laughter.) The suit was then called on, and adjourned till fur ther orders. BILLINGSGATE MARKET.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY. —WI have had a fair demand for cotton at a reduction ca American of id. per lb. Sales, 5,000 bags. The only arrivals this morning are a French mail, and ship-letters from Montreal, consequently a great dearth of intelligence prevails in the city. ,Ve have been favoured by a merchant of the fist respßctability with the copy of a letter from one of the Committee appointed to examine the affiirs of the United States Bank : " PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Is.—As you are interested h the Bank of the United States, it may be Fati s s tory for you to know something of its affairs. I am one of the Committee of its Directors, and have been some days engaged in examining into its condition, and can state with great truth my firm conviction that the Bank is sound and solvent. ‘• Toe Bank has a surplus fund of nearly five millions of dollars, which I am satisfied will pay all its losses, one great cause of the difficulty of the Bank is that it resumed specie payments at least one year too soon, and then to assist the banks in the south and south west to sustain specie payments it made them large advances, all of which, though perfectly safe, are for the present locked up. " P.S.—I have but a trifling interest in the Bank, therefore 1 have no other motive in expressing my opi nion of its condition than to promote the cause of truth and justice." Extract of a private letter from New York, dated the 16th of November : " The three new States of Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan, which before the present year had not raised wheat enough for their own population, and the great emigration into the above States, will at present have 16,000,000 bushels of wheat to export. During the month of October 54,000 barrels of flour have been exported from this port, New York, for England, and 22,000 barrels from the Ist to the 7th of November. " Our Correspondent writes from Ulira, that the last two weeks from thirty to forty thousand barrels of flout from the west, passed that city for the Anna, bound to Albany and New York." THE FUNDS. The dense foz which prevails this morning, and the great scarcity of information owing to the few arrivals, greatly damp; the spirit for speculation in the funds, and also impedes commercial transactions. It is generally expected that the Foreign Exchanges will improve this afternoon, as there will be a large supply of bi . ls in the Market, particularly upon Hol land and France.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 29.—Con iderably more business has been transacted in the Sugar Market at very firm prices, and, in some instances, a slight advance has been paid ; but the general feeling is excessive caution to avoid everything not requisite (or immediate purposes.—Mercury. PROI&IBITED IMPORTATION OF AMERICAN FLOUR IN IRILAND.—It is a well known fact, that, throughout the three kingdoms, the wheat crop for the last year has been a failure, in consequence of the ex treme badness of the season—that the quality of the flour produced from it has been proportionably deterio rated, and that the bread with which the bakers are thus compelled to supply the public is essentially a bad article, as compa-ed with what it ought to be. It is a remarkable fact, not generally known, that, though American flour can be imported into Liver ponl or other English ports on payment of a certain duty, not an ounce of it can be brought into Ireland under any circumstance, whatever. American wheat may be imported and ground in Irish mills, but if flour be introduced it is liable to seizure and confiscation, no matter what amount of duty may have been paid upon it. Some years ago a merchant of this town, not being aware of the existence of the strange law referred to, brought over from Liverpool a cargo of American flour, but was ennapeilPd to send it back t o England at a heavy loss.--Be fact News. EASTHAM V. ROBERTS. Mr. BIRKBECK in this case applied for a special in junction to restrain the executors of the testator from intermeddiing in his affairs The bill was filed by a creditor on behalf of himself and others, and it prayed the usual counts, and that the estate might be sold. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—What is the ground on which you apply for a special injunction ? Mr. BIRKBECK—The grounds are that the executors refuse to pay the plaintiff, they refuse to prove the will, or to say that they will not prove it, and they refuse to give any account whatever of the estate which they have taken possession of. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—You soy they have not proved the will. The cannot inte-rneddle till they do. BIRKBECK—Tbey are receiving the estate. The plaintiff says unless they are restrained, he verily be heves that they will collect all the money due to the ~fee rased at the time of his death, and convert the whole estate and effets into money, and that they will not truly and honestly account to the creditors, but endea our to evade the payment of their debts. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Thrse are very general ob -rveioes. ,rood might be uncle by anybody. How long is it since the t: , Ailtor died ? Mr. BlBlCELCK—September List. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—It is not a very long period. I think you ought to show some danger. If I were to enjoin them from further proceedings, what is to be come of the estate? At present I don't think you have stated sufficient.—Application refused. TIIE FOG.—A thick fog prevailed in the metro polis all this morning, and even up to 12 o'clock lights were burning in every shop and dwelling i; ()use. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A CORO NER'S JURY.—On Monday an inquest was held in the Penitentiary, Milbank, on the body of Jas. Conell. The Rev. Mr. Nihill, the Governor and chaplain of the gaol, stated in a written document, a mode of evi dence no where seen but in this prison, that the de acased was brought in on the 7th of October, 1837, from the Fortitude bulk, at Chatham, having been con victed at the Chelmsford Assizes of embezzlement. Mr. James Wade, the surgeon of the Penitentiary, stated that the deceased had, from illness, been placed in the infirmary of the prison. On the 15th of last month the prisoner called his attention to something that had passed from his stomach, and when he, witness, looked at it he found it was a half-crown piece. Prisoner was questioned by him, and he stated he had robbed his em ployers of two half-crowns, and that before he was searched he had contrived to swallow one. The de ceased got much worse, and before his death he had all the symptoms of delirium tremens. A long consultation took place amongst the Jury, because a curd was round the shell in which the deceased etas placed, and two witnesses were examined in consequence. It turned out that the body could not have been brought down without the cord attached to the coffin. The Coroner having summed up the case, the Foreman consulted with his fellow-jurymen, and said their opinion was that death was c.used by " delirius trummens." They then consulted again, and found that it was natural death. A third time they consulted, and determined that the holy should be opei'ed to ascertain the real cause of death.—Adjourned accordingly. DARING ESCAPE FROM YORK CASTLE— Thursday morning was discovered a very daring escape of prisoners from York Castle. Their names are lanes Coates, who had, four or five years ago, at the York shire Assizes, been sentenced to be transported for sevon years, but who, in consequence of his acceptance of the office of executioner, had been kept in the Castle; Wil liam Marshall, who was tried for murdering his children, at Ripon, about two years ago, but being brought in in sane, was ordere:i to be k pt in cot finement during her Majesty's pleasure ; and William Seiler, for n - iurderitlg his mother, at Malt on, confine d on similar grounds as the last-mentioned ursoner. From what we have been en abiel collect of this transaction, it apppars that on Wednesday evening the cells were left apparently safe. but early the following morning it was found the prisoners had, in some manner at present unknown, escaped from them and scaled the outer walls, by means of rope lad ders, not far from Castlegate-lane end, near Mr. Andrews, the architect's, office. It seems they retired a cart against the wall, the better to effect their escape. It was expected that the term of Coates's imprisonment would soon expire, and on Wednesday his brother, under the pretence of some misconduct on the part of the pi i soner's wife, obtained some spare clothing and what he had in the Castle to be sent, as was expected, by the r.d!way to Leeds, preparatory to a public sale. Whether this circumstance is in any way connected with the escape we are not prepared to say, but it seems very probable, from the daring and reckless character of Coates, that he has planned and effected the escape. By an advertisement, giving a description of the offenders, and offering a reward for their apprehension, it appears that they had broken open the store-room, and excharged their prison dress for their own clothing.— York Herald. SHOCKING DEATH OF A CHILD BY SUFFO CATION.—On Monday an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley, at Somers Town, on the body of a child aged five months, named Venall. It appeared from the evi dcrico of the mother that on the afternoon of Saturday Let she laid the deceased, who was asleep, upon a Wa terloo bedstead on the first fl ,or, and asked a young woman named Mary Brinkworth, twenty-three years of age, whom she had kept out of mere charity for up wards of two years, to assist her in cleaning the place. The girl went up stairs to clean the room, and it was after a lapse of considerable time discovered that she had tnrned up the bedstead with the deceased iu it. The Coroner said that from the manner of Brinkworth he had not the slightest doubt but her intellect wes affectel, and that the deceased, which was the most beautiful child he had ever seen, had lost its life through her negligence. Verdict—" That the deceased was ac cidentally suffocated." DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-- Last night, about twelve o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr William Chapman, linundraper, No. 93, High-street, Shadwell, which not only wholly destroyed the pre mises and its contents, but did considerable damage to six of the houses adjoining. Most of them were in sured. The origin of the fire is not known. Several engines quickly arrived, which probably prevented the fire from doing farther mischief.

FREIGIITIL FREIGHT TO CHINA.—A ship which has been load ing for about two months is now about to sail without, we understand, having filled up her tonnage, freight not being procurable. FREIGHT TO ENGLAND—Is now lower than it has been since the month of January, tonnage being very abundant, particularly for London, with no large sup ply of produce in the market. In some instances it has been engaged as low as 40s. per ton, and is not procurable above 55 per ton, or only to a small extent. Several ships have left this port for others in search of freight. Madrid Journals of the 24th ult. have been re seived. The Moderado or Ministerial party held a meeting on the ' fight of th e 23d, to appo i nt a Central Committee to carry on the elections after the true Ministerial fashion. It was well attendLd by all the place-loving political apostates. The names of the members of the appointed Committee are Senors MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, TARAN CON ORCEVALY ARRATIA, MOSCOSO, CAS TELDOSNEUS MON, BORREGO, VERAGUA, EGONA, ISTURIZ, ARMENDARIZ, HUET, and DONOSO CORTES. The Exaltados, however, were not idle. They too were preparing a flaming manifesto to the nation on the illegal dissolution of the Cortes. For some reasons which we do not altogether comprehend, less is said in the French Journals of Sunday about the explosion of the infernal machine than we were prepared to expect. The police were as busy as bees, buzzing about in every direction, seeking some clue to the discovery of the perpe trator of this outrage, but their efforts were una - wailing. More attention was paid to the arrest of the Marquis and Count of CROUY CHAVEL, on a charge of treason, and likewise to the trouble taken by the police to inspect the private papers of the Editor of the Capitole, whose threat of exposing the secrets of the Austrian Cabinet has, we are privately assured, occasioned Louis PHILIPPE the most serious uneasiness. The cause of this must be sought for in the fact, that the secrets of the Austrian Cabinet could not be made public without certain revelations which would not increase the po pularity of the King of the FRENCH. Two persons found guilty of publishing the Moniteur Republicain were sentenced on Saturday, the one to eight years' detention, and a fine of 1,000 francs, the other to five years' irnpriFonment, and five years of Police surveillance. The subjoined extracts include all the news o any interest in the Journals of Sunday : The Phare de Bayonne of the 28th ult. states, that immediately after the evacuation of Las Parras by the Queen's army, the Carlists entered the place, and de livered it up to plunder. It was reported in Saragossa on the 24th, that General Espartero intended opening the campaign by an attack upon the forts of Castellote, Segura, and Aliaga, in order to extend his lines, and to circumscribe the enemy within a narrow compass. Immediately after this operation he would proceed to Saragossa, and thence to Catalonia for a very short time, to agree upon some military combination with the Queen's Generals in that province. Count Jenison Walwor - th, Extraordinary Envoy and. Plenipotentiary Minister of Bavaria hi Paris, was ad mitted on Saturday to present to the King the letters of recal he had received from his Government. The Monitcur publishes a table of the import and export of grain during the month of October last. The import of wheat during that interval amounted to 40,825 metrical quintals ; that of other grain to 5,756 ; and of flour to 741. There were exported, in October, 21,199 metrical quintals of wheat ; 97,592 of other corn ; and 2,236 of flour. The quantity re maining in the entrepots on the Ist of November was 116,695 metrical quintals of wheat, 9,646 of other grain, and 10,830 of flour, The Quotidienne gives the following account of the death of the Count d'Espagne :—" He was escorted by a detachment to Organeya, and there given up to a member of the Junta and thirty men, who bound him and carried him with them across the country. At length, on the 3d, five leagues from Malea, be was flung from the bridge of Espieta, in the Segre, with a cord round his neck, and a large fragment of rock tied to the cord." SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE FRENC PRISONERS IN SIBERIA. This subscription already amounts to 3,101 francs. We shall publish the names of the subscribers to-mor row. One of our subscribers communicates to us the following note. We would recommend the conduct of the honourable citizen who has sent us this note, as an example to all persons who may possess information calculated to throw light on the fate of the prisoners. For our part we engage to publish all documents and all testimonies on the subject, which app.!ar to us to be sufficiently authentic. "In 1815 General de Bruges Junin was sent to Russia for the exchange of the French prisoners, on his return in the following year he stated in the War Office, in the presence of several persons employed in the office of the Staff, that there remained in Russia (his mission being finish ed) from 15,000 to 20,000 of our countrymen of all ranks. The General declared that those soldiers were igno rant of the fall of Napoleon, and that very few of them would ever see France again, notwithstanding the orders given by the Emperor Alexander, because those unfor tunate men were dispersed in distant provinces, where the Sovereign had very little authority. These statements must have l• !n Officially given by M. de Bruges at that time to the Minister of Wa- an Foreign Affa'.rs. On the other band, the Jortin.ll de' Rouen says, " Berthelot, this unhappy fragment ol our grand army, which has just returned home after 27 ye irs exile in Siberia, states that a new detachment of prison !-s will set out in April next year, and another in 1841." Will this assertion be attended to by our Ministers, and will Marshal Soult take any steps, as he has promised to put an et,d to the captivity of our brave soldiers? The Monileur told us the other day, that the Ambassadors who had been consulted answered that there was not If single French soldier remaining as a prisoner in Siberia. The return of Berthelot formally contrad cts the Am bassadors ; and if he declares that several of his cowl trymen are still detained as slaves at Tobolck, the Ministry should pay some attention to his declaration. and require from Nicholas the return of our unfortunate countrymen on the faith of the existing treaties.

PEACEABLE STATE OF NORTH WALES.-- A correspondent writes us from Tre' Madoc, that after being a householder in this beautiful country for up wards of thirty years, he was very much annoyer: last week, by finding a paragraph inserted in the London papers, headed " Chartist Riots in North Wales." Now, the truth is, as our correspon dent states, that with the exception of a slight disturbance in Mo nt g omer y shire, there has be en not hi ng lik e a r iot in North Wales , and that the ch aracter of t h e i n h a bitants of this part of the principality stands in fine contrast with that displayed by the lower classes in every other part of the kingdom.

In the month of April last these lands had been sold for a sum of 1,650/. ; that sale was subsequently o pened, and a sum of 2,6001. obtained ; but on last Thursday, a Mr. Stokes applied for a re-sale, upon his undertaking t o bi d 2,700/. for the property—being a sum considerably over forty years purchase !
