MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) --- CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY. Last week, up to Saturday evening, the arrivals of English Wheat for our market were somewhat large for thc . time of year, and of superior quality. Of all other kinds of grain, both English and Foreign, the receipts Were but moderate. From Essex, Kent, and Cambridge shire, Coastwise, as well as by land carriage and 15412 '1 3 !e, a full average quantity of Wheat of home • Produce came fresh to hand, and the demand for most descriptions was tolerably steady. The * how of fine Foreign Wheat was by no means large, and a fair amount of business was doing at prices quite I qual to th ose o bt a i ne d l as t wee k. I n Wh eat un d er lock scarcely a sale took place. Of new English Barley about 300 quarters were on offer in fair condition. Fo reign Barley being in large supply, the trade was heavy, at a reduction in price of from is to 2s per quarter. 'The Malt trade was in a very sluggish state, at a r eduction in the currencies of fully Is per quarter. The ,„ 411 ,the of Oats was small, at fully l as t w ee k' s quo t a ti ons . 4 ne supply of Beans was rather limited, while the sale ruled inactive, at late rates. Maple Peas were Is to 2s Per quarter lower, with a heavy demand. Other kinds of Peas were about stationary. The Flour trade was in a sluggish state, but no variation was noticed in value. The market was well supplied with most kinds of Seeds, * Nell moved off slowly, at late rates. fVintAT— CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE. Essex & Kent, IMALT—Chevalier........

Notwithstanding there was rather a numerous Wttendance of both London and country buyers, no im provement was noticed in the demand for Beef. The Uttmber of Sheep was extensive, and of full average quality, though a scarcity of really Crime old Downs was complained of. The Othe r qualities of Mutton were quite as d ear , b u t f or kinds the inquiry was in a very sluggish state, at ua rely stationary prices. The supply of Lambs was 4asonably good, but the sale for that description of stuck was very inactive, at last week's currencies.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 12.—Their Majesties and the young Princess are to go on Saturday to Ostend, where they will pass some days. The King, when he returns from Ostend, will visit the camp at Beverloo, which will break up at the end of this month. There is a groat increase this year in the number of passengers between Borer and Ostend. In the month of August there were 1,400 more than in August 1843. This increase is owing to the new line of steamers between the two ports. It see ms that the English Government intends to exchange the mail-boats now employed for others much better fitted up fur the accommodation of passengers. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 13.—Several journals of this city have announced the arrival of Mr. Pritchard; this, how ever, is a mistake. he Journal du Commerce d'Anvers, speaking of the loss of the Belgian brig the Charles, Captain Hood, which was stranded on the coast of Borneo, and after wards plundered by the pirates, says :—" We under stand that the Government of the Dutch colony imme diately dispatched a steamer to the place where the accident happened, and after having severely repri manded the natives, exacted hostages from them, and an indemnity amounting it is said to 120,000 florins. We shall doubtless soon hear further particulars of this un fortunate event, which has caused mush excitement on our exchange. CRICKET. THE GREAT MATCH FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PLAYERS OF ENGLAND, AT TUN BRIDGE WELLS. This grand match was resumed on Friday morning and again on Saturday. There was much fine play exhi bited throughout the contest, whilst the vast concourse of spectators who had assembled from all parts of the kingdom rendered the scene one of the most brilliant that we have witnessed during the season. Considerable disappointment, however, was manifested by many parties so soon as it was made known that the two lists of players were likely to be altered. This feel ing was very naturally the result of finding that the betting had been made upon the faith of a strict adhe rence to the published lists. This is not, we lament to say, the first by many occasions during the present sea son that we have heard loud complaints with respect to the alteration in the list of names. We do not, however, very well see how the difficulty can be obviated, although it would be highly advantageous, and at the same time satisfactory, if the lists were not put forth until it was positively known who would and who could not play. There is now very extensive betting on the game, and the bets are usually booked as soon as the "lists " are put forth. It not unfrequently happens, therefore, that the substitution of one man for another will make just the difference in the odds. Besides, in addition to this incon venience, there are a large number of persons who go a long distance for the express purpose of seeing the pecu liar style of batting or bowling of a particular indivi dual, and it has frequently happened that that very player has not been present. With respect to the at tendance of the "players" who are announced to parti cipate in any given match, we hold that, except in cases of sudden illness, there ought not to be any difficulty in ensuring their presence. It is their business, and they ought to be ready when their names have been sent out to the world. This is clearly a matter which falls within the jurisdiction of the Committee and Honorary Secre tary of the Marylebone Cl u b. I n d ee d, no "li st ' should be issued until it has been finally determined who of the " players" are to be in the match ; and that selection having gone to the public, should, in common fairness, be adhered to. With regard to the " gentlemen players," doubtless it is impossible that upon all occasions the list can be strictly acted upon, although, if a gentleman pro mises to play, he should consider himself bound to carry out such promise. There may, nevertheless, be some in stances where the party's pursuit or avocation in life is of such a character as, at a short notice, to demand his personal attention. In such case his absence is to be de plored, and the best available substitute should be obtained. Not so with a " player ;" for whilst the gentleman has a profession to attend to, but joins in cricket either as a matter of health or of pleasure only, so with the " player"—the game for the season, at all events, is his profession, and the first object of his care. It is, we are quite aware, not the fault of the " players" themselves, but it rests with their superiors, who, as already urged, should in all matches play the players whose names are in the " list." It has often been our fate to hear the " changes" loudly complained of. It is much, consequently, to be hoped that in future years the practice may not occur. In the present match the absence of Mr. Kynaston and of Lillywhite was greatly lamented, and gave a turn to the odds. The married took the bat first, and made the following score : MARRIED.

This match, which has excited great interest in the cricketing world, was played last week upon the Trent Bridge Ground, at Nottingham, in the presence of an immense body of spectators.

His Royal Highness descended at the Hotel St. Antoine, where his equipages and suite had been two days awaiting his arrival ; after remaining at Mr. Schmitt Spaenhoven's splended establishment until the following day, the Prince pursued his journey to the Hague, in order to have an interview with the King of Holland. The visit of the Prince of Prussia to this port since its accession to the German Cus toms Union is an event of more than ordinary interest. Already have the effects of the union become visible in the increased activity at the docks and in the entrepot. The number and import ance of the visitors to Antwerp have also materially in creased of late. The following are amongst the most recent arrivals at the Hotel St. Antoine :—The Earl and Countess of Balcarras and suite ; the Bishop of Roches ter and family ; the Duchess of Oldeaburgh and suite ; the Marechale Princesse of Ekhrauhl (Davoust) and her daughter ; the Countess Blocqueville, Captain Lord John Hay, Captain Carrington Smith, Colonel Cath cart, Captain C. J. Adams, R.N., Sir Clifford Constable, Bart., &c., &c. VACANT ALDERMANIC GOWN OF BILLINGSGATE.— There exists a rumour that another candidate for this vacancy, besides Mr. Sidney, the sheriff elect, is likely to make his appearance at the hustings. There is, how ever, little or no chance, although there may be much expense, for any other competitor, as Mr. Sidney has obtained more than four. fifths of the promises of the constituents of the ward, and it is formed principally of men of repute, not likely to swerve from their word, or to encourage a vexatious opposition. Nearly 1,0001. have already been subscribed towards the cost of erecting a suitable monument to the memory of the late lamented Earl of Lonsdale. The Earl of Harborough, at his recent audit at Melton Mowbray, caused the rents of the whole of his cottage tenants, on his estates at Whissendine, Staple ford, Saxby, and Teigh, to be returned to them. We rarely have to record such a noble instance of liberality. The Countess of Haddington has arrived at Tyn- Jushanie House, Prebtonkirk, N. 8., from the Admiralty. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1844. HER MAJESTY at BLAIR ATHOL. BLAIR ATHOL, FRIDAY. There is little to record of the movements of her Majesty and the Court here beyond the mere ordinary routine, so strict is the privacy desired and obtained, For the purpose of retirement a more favourable spot could scarcely have been obtained, combining as it does such exquisite natural beauties with such abso lute quiet and seclusion from the bustle and turmoil of the world. Athol House itself is a building of the most un pretending character. It is a plain structure, all white from the great entrance to the out• offices, and planned without the slightest assistance from the rules of architectural beauty. It is, however, commodious, and the interior has been prepared, under the direc tion of Lord Glenlyon, by upholsterers from Lon don, in a style rendering it a fit abode for the Queen in the retirement which she seeks. It is delightfully situate in the centre of a glen, or, more properly speaking, a valley, surrounded on all sides by high hills, one of which, Ben-y-glo, almost aspires to the rank of mountain. • Some of these hills are clothed to the tops with fir, relieved by masses of rich verdure ; others are more barren, but strikingly grand. At all hours of the day—from the early morning, when the summits of the hills are hidden in mists, to the night, when their bold outlines form a grand amphi theatre enclosing the domain—the scene is beautiful in the extreme. Repose and seclusion are, however, claims it possesses in an extreme degree, and which give it apparently a value in the eyes of her Majesty in addition to its great natural advantages. The in terior of the grounds afford extensive walks and drives, of which her Majesty avails herself, and the Prince is enabled to enjoy shooting on the hills. Deer-stalking will, it is said, be added to his Royal Highness's amusements. The utmost care is used to exclude all strangers from the house and grounds. A guard of the Athol Hthlanders, under the com mand of Captain Drummond, mount guard over it, and there is a body of the London police, under the orders of an inspe c t or S tee d , w h o a l so lend assistance in maintaining order and preventing intrusions from the curious. The views in the neighbourhood, it is needless to say, are full of beauty and interest. Every guide-book to Scotland teems with their praises, but scarcely does them justice. It is under stood that her Majesty will from time to time visi them all. Very little beyond mere Court routine has to be recorded. Yesterday (Thursday) only the Prince and Queen walked on the hills adjoining the house, accompanied by the Princess Royal. Her Roy a l ighness also took walking exercise in the afternoon. The Queen and the Prince in the afternoon drove out in the pony phaeton. The dinner party yesterday consisted, besides the Queen and Prince Albert, of Lord and Lady Glen lyon, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Liverpool, Viscountess Canning, Lady Caroline Cocks, the Hon. Charles Wellesley, Sir Edward Bowater, Sir James Clarke, and Mr. Anson. This morning (Friday) her Majesty and the Prince breakfasted at half-past eight. They then took walk ing exercise in the grounds, accompanied by the Prince then wentforßoyal,u was provided. The attended by Sir E. Bowater, and accompanied by Lord Gl en ly on . H er out shooting , Majesty drove out in the pony phaeton, accompanied by Lady Canning. The escorts of Scots Greys have been dismissed for the present. Her Majesty is now under charge of the Athol Highlanders. Her Majesty will attend divine service on Sunday at the church of the parish. A large pew has been fitted with ottomans, and covered with crimson cloth, to receive her Majesty and suite, and there are crimson coverings to the rest of .the pew s . During Friday afternoon, when the Queen and Prince drove out, they went to the old village of Blair, where the sheep-shearing was going on, with which her Majesty was much amused. She also par ticularly noticed some Scotch terriers. They then proceeded towards Glen Tilt, where, near a marble quarry, where there is a beautiful vein of green mar ble, they entered a hht The gude wife was spinning, and the Queen sat ddWn and conversed with her very affably for some time: The inmates did not know the rank of their visitors, and, in accordance with the custom, they put a bottle and glass on the table, and asked them to taste the mountain dew. BLAIR AT/lOLL, SATURDAY MORNING. There appear to be, some indications this morning of a change in the weather, and if the sun should be compelled to retreat before the rain and mist which have begun to invade the present abode of royalty, there is but little likelihood that her Majesty wil prolong her visit to the end of the month. Within the last few days, however, there has been a fresh influx of visitors and tourists, who are anxious to combine the pleasures of seeing their Sovereign and the beauties of Scottish scenery. The two hotels, the Blair of Atholl ;Inn and the Bridge of Tilt Inn, are completely inundated—people are glad to be allowed to lie down indiscriminately under the dining tables like " four-and-twenty blackbirds all of a row ;" every bed-room boasts of three or four occu pants, and when they wake in the morning they find themselves placed by the side of some drowsy stranger, with whom they had not the honour of any previous acquaintance, and who had been billeted upon them by an unceremonious landlord during their peaceful slumbers. Misery, however, makes us acquainted with strange bedfellows, and yet the most exorbitant charges must be submitted to from " mine host," who levies a sort of black mail on the unwary travellers, by means of this ingenious, but somewhat Irish, method of multiplying accommodation. In the course of the afternoon of yesterday, her Majesty drove out in a pony phaeton along the high road to Inverness as far as the Falls of Bruer, but unfortunately a shower of rain prevented her Majesty from alighting to view the most picturesque portion of this beautiful waterfall. The beauties of the Falls of Bruar have been considerably enhanced by a rich clothing of fir and oaks, fringing its rocky banks, which were formerly as bleak, bare, and desolate as the summits of the surrounding hills, amidst which it lies embosomed. These plantations were formed by the late Duke of Athol], in compliance with the cele brated poetical epistle of Burns, who begged that m and the fragrant bi r k s are now dressed in woodbines, and e the craggyclothng might, be placed upo n th e na k e d r oc k s ; cliff s are now a d orne d w i th the f i rs some and thorns for which Scotland's poet petitioned in such glowing language. It is, however, positive that her Majesty will make a second effort to view these Falls during her sojourn here. In her drive yesterday her Majesty was ac companied by Prince Albert, who had returned early from grouse shooting on the hills, where his Royal Highness bad some excellent sport ; several black cock were sent to the Castle by the Prince, in order that theymight be p re p ared for her Majesty's luncheon, an at half-past three his Royal Highness rode back to the Castle, and drove her Majesty out in the pony phaeton, preceded by outriders—Lord Glenlyon and Sir Edward Bowater rode on either side of the carriage, the Highland chieftain wearing the two eagles' feathers in his bonnet. On the return of her Majesty to the Castle, a Scotch peasant, who had been evincing his loyalty in copious libations in honour of the Queen, staggered into the Castle, and entered the room where the illustrious party were assembled with far less ceremony and discrimination than were displayed by the " boy Jones." The in truder was forthwith handed over to the tender merc ies of the localpolice, w h o appear to perform their onerous duties with that energy and vigour for which the renowned followers of Dogberry and Verges were so eminently distinguished. A vast have num yon's clansm en an d foresters b b e e r en of ou L t Lord Gen ringlthl the night driving the deer into the Glen Tilt, in order to ena bl e t h e Pr i nce to have a shot at them as the y bound through the passes. His Royal Highness, accompanied by his noble host and a large party, mounted on shooting ponies, left the Castle this morning for the Glen, where there is every probabity that th e y w ill h ave some excellent sport as the win d is favourable. Her Majesty will attend Divine service to-morrow morning, at the village church of Blair Atholl; the chieftain s p ew in that sacred edific e has been fitted up with scarlet lining and tapestry, for her Majesty's use, and great preparations are making to beautify and adorn the church for the reception of her Majesty. The Seceders have, unhappily, attempted to inculcate their pernicious doctrines within these peaceful do mains, and a wooden "free kirk" has been erected by them at the further extremity of the village, but they have, hitherto, failed in their efforts to lead away the peasantry from those places of worship in which their forefathers have, from time out of mind, assembled. The ancient chapel of the Atholl family is now most in ruins and forms one of the picturesque objects within the grounds of the Castle. This ruin is rendered doubly interesting, as being the-burial place of every Highland chieftain of ancient descent and lofty lineage; but the chief object of interest within its moss-grown walls is the tomb of the celebrated Claverhouse, whose body was brought to Blair Atholl after the battle of Killiecrankie, and received honourable interment from the Atholl family, against whom he had so long combated with such terrific energy and effect. Every traveller and tourist makes a pilgrimage to the tomb of this celebrated hero, and the descendants of the Covenanters still shudder at the bare mention of the name of the bloody Claverse. Her Majesty appears to be in the enjoyment of ex cellent health and spirits, and evidently derives the greatest gratification from her present secluded mode of life.- Puck SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tittbitr 14Iptnton. " Who runs may read." FOREXON. On Thursday the King of the French came to Paris, and held a Council of Ministers. His Majesty retuned to Neuilly to dinner.

The King has also received similar letters from the King of Norway and Sweden, and the free towns of Lubeck, Bremen and Hamburgh, and Frankfort-on-the-Maine. On Thursday evening their Majesties received the Minister of Marine, the Marquis de Mornay, Generals Baudrand, Hecquet, and Gazen, Captain Pujol, and M. Desmousseaux de Givr6. Letters from Rio Janeiro of the 9th of July announce that the Reine Blanche frigate, on board of which Ad miral Dupetit Thouars is returning to France, was daily expected in that harbour. " We are assured," says the Presse, " that the King has expressed a desire to review the National Guard of Paris, on the occasion of the successes which our armies by sea and land have obtained on the coast of Africa. This review is fixed for Sunday, the 29th instant." General Negrier, Commandant of the 13th military division (Rennes), is removed to the 16th (Lille), in the room of General. Corbineau, who goes on the re tired list. The Havre journals state that a seizure was made there a few days ago, at one of the provision shops, of a quantity of pott e d game, on the supposition that the game was killed during the period of the year when the killing of game is prohibited by the new law. The shop • keeper has given notice of appeal, in order that the question may be tried. Preparations are being made to crown the Arc de Triomphe in the Champes Elysies. A statue of France is to be place on an antique car. Around it, on foot, will be the genii of the French nation. All these works are to be of colossal size, and in bronze. A pasteboard model will be shortly erected. The King has engaged M. Horace Vernet to paint three pictures, representing the bombardment of Tan giers, the taking the island of M oga d ore , an d th e b a ttl e of Isly. The Almanach Royal for 1844 contains the insertion of the name of Capt. Bruat, under the designation of Go vernor of the Marquesas Islands, and King's Commis sioner to the Queen of the Society Islands. A letter from Metz, of the 10th inst., announces the arrival of Duke Edward, the son of Duke Bernard, of Saxe Weimar, accompanied by Captain Gordon, a son of the Earl of Aberdeen. They were received at the Prefecture by the Duke de Montpensier, the Duke de Nemours being with Duke Bernard at head-quarters, at Buchy, where the two foreign Dukes, and the personages who came with him, will remain with their Royal High nesses as guests until the reviews and other military operations are over. The Journal du Havre announces the arrival on Thursday of the Theodore, from Guadeloupe, with the Commissioners sent out by the Government at the re quest of M. Cailloue, to explore the great sulphur mines in the neighbourhood of Basse Terre. The report being favourable, the Colonial Council had made a grant of the mines to M. Cailloue for fifty years, on condition that they be brought into full work within five years from the present time. M. Cailloue went out with the Commis sioners, and has returned with them to make arrange ments for carrying on his undertaking. Letters from Vienna of the 4th say, that Admiral Bandeira has been called on by the Austrian Govern ment to disprove, before a military commission, all par ticipation with his unfortunate sons in their late attempt at revolution in Calabria. A letter from Alexandria of the 28th of August states that amongst the passengers who had arrived in that city from Calcutta by the Bentinck, were Count Ratti Menton and family. A letter from Athens of the 25th ult. says--" On the 22d ult. the mail was stopped in the middle of the Isth mus by 25 well armed brigands, who had gained infor mation that it contained money. They forced open the carriage, and took a sum equal to about 10,000 E ; they broke the seals of the dispatches to Ambassadors ; and also broke open the trunks of the travellers, and carried off all they thought worth keeping. The courier col lected all the scattered papers and took them to Luiaki. General Prokesch, on being made acquainted with the occurrence, set out for the Isthmus, to make a personal investigation. It had no political character. We are afraid, also, that our waters are infested with pirates, for a Post-office steam-packet, known to have large remit tances on board, has disappeared, and the crew are feared to have been massacred, as bodies have been seen floating in the sea." The — MonitetWParisien states that no intelligence from Otaheite of a nature to confirm the account of a conflict between the French troops and the natives, given in a letter said to have been received by a Mr. Salmon, and published by the English papers, has been received by the French Government. The Herald() informs us that the son of Sir Robert Peel, who is an attache of the British Legation at Ma drid, had left that city for Cadiz, with a courier of the French Embassy, bearing dispatches for the Prince de Joinville.

The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, accompanied by Lords Edward and Bernard Howard and Lady Mary Howard, left St. James's-square, on Saturday last, on their return to Arundel . Castle. Owing to the recent demise of Lady Brooke Pechell, the Duke and Duchess do not intend to see company at the Castle for some time to come. Lady Brougham arrived at Brougham Hall on Sunday last from London, and on Thursday last Mr. Baron Parke and the Hon. Charles Howard and lady, who had been on a short visit to Henry Howard, Esq., of Grey stoke Castle, joined Lord Brougham, at Brougham Hall, for a few days. Mr. and Lady Fanny Howard have arrived at Holkar Hall, near Milnethorpe, on a visit to the Earl of Bur lington. Sir William Massey Stanley, Bart., has returned from his shooting-box in the Highlands. The respected Ba ronet visited Lady Stanley, at Haggerstone, Northum berktnd, on his way south. The Bishop of Ripon has returned to the Episcopal Palace from his annual visitation. His Lordship was the guest of Gaskell, Esq., at his seat near Wake field, early in the week. The Earl of Strg.dbroke arrived at his seat in Suffolk the week before last, from visiting his estates in Ire land. The Noble Earl and the Hon. Captain bons, M.P., were to leave Henham Hall on Saturday, for Don caster. The Earl of Harrowby and Viscount and Lady Frances Sandon and family arrived at Harrowgate, on Thursday last, from Sandon Hall, Staffordshire. bUSOZILSANJAO'OII. The Lords of the Admiralty have arrived at Devon port on their usual visit of inspection. They left Lon don on Wednesday afternoon, and arrived at Exeter by the Great Western Railway on the same night. They slept at Exeter, and reached Devonport on Thursday. Incendiarism has again commenced in Suffolk. A most destructive fire took place on Wednesday night on a farm, the property, and in the occupation of, Mr. John Phillips, at Great Barton. The property destroyed con sisted of a large barn, in which was 100 coombs of wheat and 200 coombs of oats, which had been got up about a week ; a row of cart-sheds and other out-buildings, a waggon, and a quantity of agricultural implements. The property was insured. We regret to stato that fire after fire has taken place in Dorsetshire during the last six or seven days, and all, there is every reason to believe, the work of vile incen diaries. Much property has been destroyed. A lad has been committed for trial charged with one of the offences. According to the Post Ami Gazette, the news of the acquittal of Mr. O'Connell has produced an extraordinary sensation at Frankfort. Immediately after its arrival his portrait was exhibited, surrounded with garlands, and even an illumination was talked of. An Englishman, who had become notorious for his anti-Irish opinions, has considered it prudent to quit the city. Alderman Brown will resign the aldermanic gown of Billingsgate to•inorrow. At present there is only one candidate in the field. On Saturday morning a task of deep solemnity was performed in the removal of a number of coffins from an old vault belonging to the parish of St. John Zachary, in Maiden-lane, City. The old church was burned down by the great fire of London, after which a very large house was built over' the vaults, which, however, has continued in use. The removal, as well as other bodies from a portion of the churchyard itself, took place in consequence of the ground being required for City im provements. The coffins in the vault, and the mortal remains of those interred in the churchyard, were de posited in what will probably be their final resting-place, a large vault formed in another part of the churchyard. Captain Layard, M.P., has been, and continues, we understand, dangerously ill, at Benown, the seat of Arthur D. Chaigneau, Esq., county of Westmeath. Lord and Lady Lilford, the Hon. and Rev. Richard Bruce and Hon. Mrs. Stopford, the Hon. and Rev. L. and Mrs. rowys, Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Colquhoun, Sir John Murray and lion.

Todd re sumed his services in the church here, after his suspen sion by the Bishop, for omitting a part of the burial se vice.— West Briton. To-day we learn that his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and several of the gentlemen of his suite, eager to enjoy the splendid sport of deer-stalking, were stirring betimes, and enjoyed splendid sport in the deep ravines of the Tilt. Two fine red deer were killed by the royal party. There were various games performed ; and her Majesty visited several of the most magnificent scenes in the neighbourhood, and seemed extremely gratified with the gloomy grandeur everywhere presented, so different to the changing glitter and artificial pleasures of the Court. --Aberdeen Herald of Saturday. WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 15. The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company's ship Tay, Captain Hayden, arrived here at 1 P.m. The Tay left Havannah on the Bth, Nassau 10th, Bermuda 20th, and Fayal 31st August. The Tay met the Severn at Havannah on the Bth inst., proceeding to the Gulf of Mexico, and the Clyde at Bermuda, with dates from Jamaica to the Bth August, and Carthagena to the 2d September. The Tay having met with an accident, being obliged to go into Fayal, met there her Majesty's surveying steamer Styx, to which ship the mails were transferred, and both ships came home in company, and landed the mails at Plymouth yester day, at 11 A.M. The Tay brings twelve passengers, and left twenty one passengers at Fayal to come home in the Tweed, which ship will be due here on the 21st inst. The Tay brings 80,000 dolls, in freight. The West India papers received by the Tay bring little news. They are almost entirely occupied by reports of the debates in Parliament upon the Sugar Duties Bill, which they still seem generally inclined to regard as ruinous to the West India interests. With respect to the accident which had obliged the Tay to leave several of her passengers at Fayal, we have been favoured with the following statement by a passenger in that vessel : " The report of the unhappy disaster which befel the Royal Mail Company's steam-packet Tay en the coast of Havannah on the Bth of July last, and her subsequent arrival in England considerably after her time, having on board only a few of the passengers who embarked in the West Indies, would naturally occasion much alarm and distress to those expecting the arrival of relations and friends ; you will, there fore, I am sure, be glad to give publicity through your journal to the following statement, as regards the pas sengers, which I feel it a duty to offer to the public, in order to obviate the alarm which, I am happy tostate, circumstances of a most fortunate nature have ren deredgroundless "The Tay left Bermuda on the 20th of August, with the following passengers bound to England, and was compelled to put into the port of Fayal on the 31st of August, when the passengers and mails were landed. " She again, after undergoing certain repairs, took her departure for England, in company with her Majesty's steam-vessel Styx, to the care and atten tion bestowed by the captain and officers of which vessel may in a great measure be attributed her pre sent safety. " The greater number of the passengers not being disposed to trust themselves again on board the Tay in her then condition, remained at Fayal, in order to proceed to their destination by 'the following mail packet, Tweed, expected there on the 12th inst. The following are the names of the persons so remaining ; and annexed is a list of those who proceeded in the Tay, and who arrived at Plymouth in safety under the convoy of her Majesty's surveying-vessel Sty; on the 14th of September, and the Tay proceeded on to Southampton with the Styx : " PASSENGERS WHO EMBARKED AT BERMUDA ON BOARD THE TAY. _ " Remained at Fayal Mrs. Jemmett, Mr. and Mrs. Shannon, Mr. and Mrs. Moroney, Judge Norton, Mrs. Symonds, Lieutenant Peto, Ist West India Regiment; Mr. Farrall, Mr. Perrey, Mr. Knutsen, Mr. Bellot, Mr. Fleming, Mr. Burnett, Mr. Debelette, Mr. Boisaubin, Mr. Garella, Mr. Courtain, Mr. Coore, Mr. Deraine, and Mr Langouine.

COURT CIRCULAR. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent left town on Saturday morning, on a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager at Witley Court, Worcester shire. Her Royal Highness left her residence Cla rence House, St. James's, for the Euston-square terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway at a quarter past nine o'clock, and took her departure from the station attended by Lady Charlotte Dundas, the Countess Wratislaw, and Sir George Couper, Bart. Miss PEEL.—Accounts were received in town on Saturday morning from Drayton Manor, that this young lady was going on favourably. Further ac counts were received yesterday that Miss Peel was very much better. Lord Stanley has arrived at Wiseton, near Bawtry, on a visit to - Earl Spencer, from Knowsley Hall, Lancashire. The Marquis of Granby, the Earl of Effingham, and Viscount Hawarden, attended Divine service yesterday morning in the Chapel Royal, St. James's. the Rev. Dr. Wesley preached the sermon. Dispatches from the Governors of Jamaica and the other West India colonies, from the Governor of Canada and the other North American provinces, from the Governor of New South Wales, from the Governor of the Mauritius, and also from the Go vernor of Sierra Leone, were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. THE PIMLICO SLATE WORKS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,—A little misapprehension appears to hare arisen as regards the report of the Pimlico Slate Works" in your paper of the 11th instant, which it seems Mr. Magnus is anxious should be corrected. It should be clearly understood it is not his works that I have to sell, but the Czvmorthin Slate Quarry, in Merionethshire, which is under the control of Mr. Chorley, with whom this mistake entirely rests. am, Sir, your most obedient servant; GEORGE ROBINS. Covent-garden, Sept. 14, 1844. The Earl of Enniskillen and the Earl of Rome in tend to come from their respective seats in Ireland to attend the meetings of the British Association at York, on the 28th inst. The following startling announcement appeared a day or two since in the columns of a Contemporary, whose ardent zeal in the service of her Ministerial patrons should have saved her from so cruel a hoax : " We are assured that a treaty, the origin of which may be referred to 1840, is on the eve of being concluded, by which England will obtain :possession of the port of Suez, free passage from Alexandria to that port, and other advantages of importance in Egypt and Syria. This treaty, to which France is said to be no party, is guaranteed by Russia, Austria, and Prussia. We know not by what intrigue the King of the French has been prevented from participating in it, but have reason to believe that England has had nothing to do with her ex clusion." It is scarcely necessary to add, for the infor mation of the very few whom this transparent fiction may have misled, that the treaty thus described has not, nor ever had, any other existence than in the fertile imagination of the wag by whom our over-credulous Contemporary has been deceived.— Times. DOVER, SATURDAY:—The Earl of Pembroke ar rived by railway from the metropolis, this evening, and to-morrow embarks for Calais en his way to Paris. Lady Emily Hardinge and her daughters arrived this evening from town, and on Monday her Ladyship pur poses to embark for the Continent, proceeding to Paris, here her Ladyship intends to remain about a week, and then proceed to Marseilles. The Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Right Hon. Charles Arbuthnot, who is residing with the Noble and Gallant Duke at Weimer Castle, came over on Thursday to inspect the works in progress for the improvement of the harbour, when the Noble LorcliWarden was conducted to the different locali ties immediately regarding his notice, by Mr. Walker. The Earl of Fingal' and Lord Killeen went by the Ariel steamer to Ostend, and from thence the Noble Earl and his son proceed to Geneva to join the Countess and family. Among the arrivals and departures during the week have been the Countess Flahault, Lady Bathurst, the Earl and Countess of Balcarras, Viscount Duncan 'non, Mr. and Mrs. R. Milbanke, Sir George Houston, Hon. W. Wodehouse, Colonel Sandilands, Sir John Horold, Bart., &c. TRIUMPHANT SUCCESS OF ASTLEY'S ROYAL Am- TRE.—TUESDAY, SEPT. 17.—The American tribe of loway Indians will visit this theatre in their native costume to witness the extraordinary performance of Mr. Carter, the Lion King, Chinese War, &c. THE NEW ROYAL EXCIIANGE.—The Royal Ex change will be opened is the course of the last fortnight of October, by her Majesty in person, accompanied by Prince Albert. This announcement has been officially made by Sir James Graham, and not by Mr. Lambert Jones ; though that worthy functionary repaired to Windsor a few days since in the hope of ascertaining her Majesty's wishes as to the precise day on which the ceremony should take place. The only reply he ob tained, however, was that the Queen could receive no message on the subject except through the Lord Mayor, and when such communication took place the Royal command would be conveyed through the Minister. Mr. Lambert Jones's journey to Windsor, what befel him there, and the dolorous face with which he returned, have afforded, during this season of dulness, subjects of merri ment amongst the citizens.—Pest. MURDER, ELEVEN YEARS AGO.—On Saturday a man, named Riorden, was brought before Mr. Rushton on a charge of having been concerned in the murder of Cornelius Sullivan, near Ilacroom, in 'the county of Cork, in the year 1833. It appeared that Riorden, though almost in constant employent in Liverpool ever since, had continued to evade the vigilance of the police, and that a quarrel between him and one of his associates, who was in the secret, led to his apprehension. He was sent over to Dublin on Saturday evening, thence to be conveyed to the gaol of the county of Cork.—Liverpool I Chronicle. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 15.—There is one circumstance connect'd with the manning the experimental brigs at this port which is far froin creditable to the officers commissioning them ; it is this--at the bottom of ene or two of the placards advertising for seamen and petty officers are there words. " None but the best need apply." Now, the " best" in this instance means the well-clothed, well-fed, and well-looking fellow. We protest against such unmanly and unfeeling conduct as the above restriction exhibits on the part of the officers of the brigs referred to. If they have the cJintnon use of their eyesight, they cannot fail to have perceived that in consequence of the shameful delay in commissioning the experimental squadron, hundreds of the " best" seamen have been in a starving condition ; they have parted with their clothes and everything else convertible into money to enable them to subsist until the Admiralty thought proper. to be awakened by the voice of public opinion from the stupor into which they had fallen, and the honest tars are now turned back and insulted with " None but the best need apply." We are glad, however, to observe, that the " best" officers have not the insulting sentence on their placards, and are entering fine men and good seamen much faster than the officers referred to. About the 20th it is expected the squadron will be ready for sea. The Queen, 110, Captain Martin, will leave the har bour for Spithead to-morrow. The Espoir, 10, Commander A. Morrell, arrived at Ascension on the lath of July from the Bights of Benin. The Penelope, 22, steam-frigate, Commodore Jones, has left Ascension on a cruise.

BASIL lIALL.—We regret that we have to announce the death of this gallant officer, which took place on Wednesday last at Ilaslar Hospital, after a protracted illness, in the fifty-sixth year of his age. Capt. Basil Hall was not only distinguished in the ser vice as an able, enterprising, and meritorious officer, who had the entire good of his profession at heart, and who lost no opportunity of forwarding its improvement in every way that his inquiring and discerning mind en abled him to do, but he wasnlso known in the world of literature, of which he formed a distinguished ornament. In his early life, in the command of a small vessel, in an unknown sea, he rendered conspicuously interesting a dreary voyage to the north part of China, and the coast of Corea, by the publication of a lively, intelligent, and scientific account of a new Feople inhabiting the Loo Choo Islands. Since then his industrious and active habits have never allowed him to visit a scene without recording its novelties, peculiarities, and politics ; and we have thus before the world his opinion and descrip tion of both South and North America. His carious nautical tales, told under the name of fragments, of which several series have been published, prove the play fulness of his mind, and the extent of li!s observation. We have to record the death of another naval officer, retired Commander Joseph Heßard, who died at Ports mouth on Saturday. This gallant officer has been in service nearly seventy years. He was mid s hi pman i n the Berwick in the action with the French and Dutch fleets in 1778 and 1781 ; was mate of the Barfleur in Lord Howe's action ; was Lieutenant of the Veteran, at Camperdown, with Lord Duncan ; was Senior Lieute nant of the same ship at Copenhagen ; was in the Leda, in the numerous actions with the Boulogne flotilla, in 1804, and at the capture of the Cape. IRELAND. VISIT OF MR. O'CONNELL TO DERRY NANE. DUBLIN, SEPT. I 4.—Mr. O'Connell intends to make his annual visit to Derrynane Abbey, and is to leave Dublin on next Tuesday week fbr his celebrated mountain home. Several invitations to provincial dinners have been received by Mr. O'Connell, but most of them are to be delayed until the return of the Hon. Gentleman from Kerry. POPULAR REJOICINGS. In the most remote districts the liberation of Mr. O'Connell was celebrated by public rejoicings. A letter from Killaloe gives an account of illuminations in all the towns and villages in the county of Clare. The entire country has been one scene of rejoicing for the triumph of O'Connell over the Tory Govern ment. MEETING OF THE CORPORATION.—AD DRESS TO MR. O'CONNELL. A special meeting of the Corporation was held this day in the City Assembly House, for the purpose of transacting a variety of business, and also for the disposal of several motions, the only one interesting being an address of congratulation to Mr. O'Connell on his liberation from his " unjust captivity." The Lord Mayor presided. After the disposal of the routine business, Mr. J. REILLY, T.C., rose in pursuance of notice to move the adoption of an address of congratulation to Mr. O'Connell. He read the following address:— " TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, ESQ., M.P. " Address of the H onoura bl e th e Lord Mayor, Alder men, and Burgesses of Dublin. " Revered Sir,—We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of Dublin, remind you that when, for your great virtue and indomitable perseverance in the cause of liberty all over the world, and your parti cular devotedness to that cause in relation to your native land, you became an object of persecution and injustice, we approached your prison-house to offer you our condolence, and prove that those for whose good your entire life was one of toil, were not un grateful in the days of your trial and suffering. " We pledged ourselves that when the day of your captivity should have passed away you should find us at your prison gates, once more to place you at the head of the people, to lead them on in your peaceable and moral strugle for the redemption of your country. An all-ruling Providence, in his Divine dispensations, has been pleased to shorten the term of your impri- . sonment, and, in your person, has given a triumph to justice, and restored you, unconquered, to freedom, so that you may, by moral means, teach the people how to deserve liberty and achieve it. " We, therefore, beg to approach you on this auspi cious occasion, and congratulate you on the victory you have obtained—of victory, which, while it has given you once more to us, must inspire the people with a reverence for the law, and prove to them that, by following your often-repeated injunction, violate no law,' they can annihilate the power to persecute, and enable you to lead them into the temple of the ancient but reformed constitution of Ireland. " In the hour of your captivity we condoled with you—in the hour of your victorious liberation we re joice, and we indulge the firm belief, and fond hope, that the day is not far distant when we shall again address you on the consummation of your labours— the restoration to Ireland of her P ar li amen t." _ _ Mr. REILLY then said, he was sure the Corporation would adopt with a sincere and heartfelt satisfaction the address he had the honour of submitting to the assembly. When all Ireland was coming forward to express their delight at the victory which had been obtained over fraud and injustice, it would ill become the reformed Corporation of Dublin to remain quies cent.—(llear, hear.) Town Councillor M'LOIJGIILIN seconded the mo tion, and then proceeded to pass a high eulogium on the continuous exertions of Mr. O'Connell in endea vouring to achieve the amelioration of his country. Town Councillor KIRWAN supported the adoption of the address. Town Councillor LOUGHMAN, in tendering his con currence with the subject before the assembly, dwelt on the injustice which had been perpetrated on Mr. O'Connell, and declared his opinion that in his person the purity of trial by jury was vindicated. Town Councillor STAUNTON concurred in all that had been said by the previous speakers, both with re gard to the vindication of trial by jury and the doubtful state of the criminal law, and declared his conviction that it was of the utmost importance that the " monster meetings" should have been legalised. Mr. REILLY begged leave to move, before the ques tion was put, that the address be engrossed, and an early day be appointed for its presentation. It was arranged that Wednesday next should be fixed upon. The LORD MAYOR then put the question, which passed unanimously. The meeting then separated. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

Farrents, surgeon, at the corner of Regent's terrace, near the canal-bridge, City-road. It was nearly half-past two o'clock before le fire was completely ex tinguished, and not before the whole of the stock in trade, fixtures, and utensils in that portion of the build ing where the fire commenced were destroyed, and the remainder of the premises and contents seriously injured by fire and water. Mr. Farrents is insured in the Al liance Office. How the fire originated could not be as certained. A SCENE IN A JURY-ROOM.—Whilst the jury were discussing their verdict in the late case of alleged riot at the Essex-street pier, tried on Thursday last at the Westminster sessions, a singular scene took place in the room to which they retired. It will be remembered that the case lasted the whole day, and the jury were unable to agree as to the guilt or innocence of the parties in • dieted. They consequ entl y were sho wn into the bur gess court, to be there kept without fire, candle, or food, until they did agree. It is said that one of them had in his pocket, which, u P td eas last him till the orning. and hap formed a very strong opinion on the subject, l epe t p s n o oer o dt n ts ilc s a a, m vbe e es e ° v gb i us ie ru r v i t t eit tl w e o r °f e wasdlittle chance of an agree ment,which they sat, and repeatedly eone of the windows at them some half-and - half, their i*nything but a Conciliatory beggedMorgan,mfealleonwei u in ro d r i s ff b e e re in n g t engaged in o th f e h r s o p o e m e in the Court, he directly place c d om a iwT•iignsd,obv,;,incgontsotathbleekbneofowreledtghee of the division, who was on duty which hh escape above two feet from the iron rail ings, trial nugatory, a i p n e o w rcl a which happened oce before, and ° the e u r ld to be pr easy, and b athus proceeding,render took place between ' strangers and the jury, or also vent to see that no con versationthat refreshment was supplied to them. This surveillance continued about three hours, but it did not prevent the window-men having their jokes at the passers-by. At nine o'clock, however, some concession was made, and the worthy magistrates, who had had three hours for their dinner, were called in to receive the verdict, which amounted to nothing.—Sunday Times. LADY CIGAR SMOKERS OF MEXICO.—Of all the petty vices practised by the New Mexicans, the mks inocente of smoking among ladies is the most intolerable; and yet it is a habit of which the loveliest and the most refined equally partake. The puro or cigarro is seen in the mouth of all ; it is handed round in the parlour, and introduced at the dinner table. Even in the ball-room. it is presented to ladies as regularly as any other species of "refreshment;" and in the (lance the senorita may often be seen whirling round with a lighted cigarrito in her mouth. The belles of the southern cities are very frequently furnished with tenazitus de oro (little golden tongs) to hold the cigar with, so as to prevent their deli cafe lingers from being poljuted either with the. stain or scent of tobacco, forgetting-, at. the same time, its dis.. agreeable efleets upon the lips and breath,—Grey9", Northern Mexico. the pe r . at 51• by
