These are questions more easily asked %ban answered, and the originators of the project seem ; to be discouraged and abandoned, to be in no hurry to enlighten us on this head. In his culations in home schemes and foreigngumloLitingarTZO last manifesto from Derrynane, Mr. O'CoysELL warmly praises Federalism, and even gives it the pre ference to unqualified Repeal ; but he does not vouch safe to tell us what is its particular character, or in what way it is to benefit Ireland. He leaves his readers in the dark upon both these points, and yet expects that they will embrace a principle which is nearly, if not quite unintelligible, merely because it hears a Derrynane imprimatur ! Federalism, like Repeal, will never answer any other purpose than to keep Ireland in a state of incipient uneasiness, and this our Irish fellow-countrymen will find out ere long, but not before they have suffered bitterly from experience. " There is, or might be, another party," adds our northern Contemporary, " that could do vast good—the party of the country—the party that would act rationally for the public good, and that would not be influenced by bigoted power on the one hand, nor propelled by mere authority on the other. We are in want of such a party, and we do not despair that it will be found." Judging from present indications, we should not say that the ele ments of this party are very rife in Ireland, still we are willing to hope with our Contemporary that the want will ere long be supplied, and that, when the Repeal and Federal crotchets have had their day, common sense and an enlightened spirit of patriotism will assume the ascendancy over men's minds in the sister country. The remarkable excitement in the market of capi tal produced by the announcement of so many rail. road projects already in course of execution, or pro. posed to be commenced, is a symptom which cannot be too carefully noted by those who would study the phenomena of our social condition. Were it possible for our earlier authorities on the statistics of capital and wealth to waken from the sleep of the grave to the aspects at this moment exhibited by the " money power " in Great Britain, they would imagine them selves resuscitated in a new world. They would deem that a new system of money had been invented. For what are :the contrasted features which any of our daily journals exhibit of the wants and the wealth, the refinements and the destitution, diffused through the various classes of the community ? Pauperism—the abject wretchedness of hundreds of thousands—attested by vast district or union poor houses, swarming with whole colonies, not alone of the aged and impotent, and helpless infants and youth, but also of able-bodied men, still in the prime and vigour of life, but unable to obtain employment. Poor rates for the support and maintenance of these un fortunate masses to the annual amount of 5,000,0001. An aggregate population so far removed from the general poverty which these premises would seem, at first sight, to infer, as to pay annually the largest amount of taxation per haps levied on any nation of the world ; yet burdened with the largest amount of national debt (800,000,0001.) ever recorded as having been con tracted at any former period of history ; the charge of interest and management alone thereon amounting to upwards of 28,000,0001, per annum. A commerce of almost boundless extent, and a mass of accumulated capital, still awaiting employment, so vast that after supplying all the enormous funds of our greatest ex isting public works, such as docks, railroads, &c., now and fur some time past in full operation, it is still further hypothecated, so to speak, to the incredible amount of 39,600,0001. for the forty new projects Of railroads, to be carried over 2,100 miles of ex tent, of which we have so lately given an ac count. It TEMPLE Or CuILDE, or if DAVID HUME or ADAM SMITH, Or Dr. CAMPBELL, could contemplate this extraordinary state of things, or so huge a sum of social misery co-existing with such enormous advances in domestic opulence—so fearful a leaven of poverty in the masses, made only the more palpable by the imperial wealth concentrated in class interests, and in the coffers of individual capitalists—the first inquiry, perhaps, of their saga cious and provident minds, would be, what were the chances of permanency attaching to a system under which elements of so antagonistic a character could have attained, coincidently, so striking a develop ment ? To determine this question, they would at once institute a preliminary examination into the nature of our monetary system, and, probably nothing would so irresistibly suggest an inquiry into the character and the amount of our currency as the contemplation of these gigantic demands of railway speculation. But this last is a question of too vital and present an inte rest to be dismissed, together with any mere theoretical assumptions of what the dead economists might think of us. May they sleep lightly, without disturbance from those misgivings which we own to, while con sidering the probable results of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S currency legislation on a condition such as we live under in 1844. The Act of last session has fixed the same ominous amount of 39,000,0001. odd as the whole aggregate of the paper currency to be issued by the Bank of England and the provincial banks, under the sanction of the Crown, throughout the whole of the United Kingdom. The fancied security of this amount and description of issues is, that " it is intended ultimately to be based on Government securities and on gold conjointly." Any circumstances which tend to dis turb or deteriorate the value of either of these ele ments, must place their joint aggregate in imminent jeopardy. Now, of these thirty-nine millions, one component is, in round numbers, twelve millions of the Government's own liabilities, held '" as securi ties" by the Bank. The Bank is limited to the issue of such an amount of notes only as it can pay on demand in gold bullion, eked out, if necessary, by a permitted per centage of silver bullion. To answer these conditions in the simplest form, the THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1844. be necessarily encouraged, in order to accommodate the march of events to the scheme of the Premier ; what will presently become the value of the securities held by the Bank of England from that Government which such a Premier administers P And what will be the means possessed by the Bank to meet " in gold" its own liabilities, when those securities shall have sustained this serious deterioration ? And what must be the fate of the empire if both the Government securities be discredited ; the evolution of private capital crippled ; the stock of bullion drained to a fraction ; and no sounder and more expansive system of curreny organized to supply and represent it ? the presence of thirty-five students, thirty of them had instantly subscribed a guinea each. A committee was appointed to arrange the affair. On Saturday, as the mail train from York to Lon don was passing under Milford-bridge, in the even ing, the engine-driver was knocked down by some miscreant throwing a stone, which caught him on the head, from the effects of which he remained in sensible for some time afterwards. Fortunately the stoker was competent to undertake the management of the engine, or a dreadful catastrophe must have ensued, there being two trains on the same line, about a mile from the bridge, and waiting the arrival of the train in question. The Railway Company offered a reward of 60/. for the apprehension and conviction of the offenders, and on Sunday last three young men, servants in husbandry at Milford, were taken into custody on suspicion, and on Tuesday two of them, named Newby and Westmoreland, were com mitted. The shawls, three in number, selected by the Baron Nieumann as a 'marriage gift to his fair be trothed, are said to be among the finest that ever left India. His Excellency will return from Vienna about the middle of November, stored with precious offerings to lay on the altar of Hymen, some pearls of great value forming a portion of them. Government 'has increased the reward offered to discover the murderers of Mr. Carden's steward from one to two hundred pounds, and a free pardon, except to the actual perpetrator. The new charter for incorporating the town of Wexford comes into operation the Ist of January. A son of the Rev. Thomas Buxton, of Kilbren Glebe, near Ashbourne, a boy of nine years old, had his hand nearly blown off by the explosion of a powder horn, a few days since. He escaped, however, with the loss of two fingers and part of a thumb. Westminster-bridge was re-opened this morning. Accounts from Madrid of the 21st state that the I ; Committee appointed to draw up the address in reply . to the speech from the throne had adopted the prin ciples contained in her MAJESTY'S speech, and that • the majority are in favour of the new Reform Bill. Little doubt existed that it would be adopted by both Chambers unless their labours should be interrupted by insurrections in Catalonia. Measures are evi dently in progress for rising in various places. In the French depots the Spanish refugees have given such symptoms of a general movement that several arrests had been made at Carcassonne and Narbonne. Some had been arrested at Bordeaux. Brigadier AYMERICK, Military Governor of Madrid under Es- P kRTERO, had made his escape from Valladolid, and every effort to capture him had proved useless. The Heraldo makes the following remarks on the threatening appearance of affairs : " Notwithstanding the fears - and the premonitory symptoms of an Esparterist attempt to disturb the ex isting order of things, we do not believe that any such attempt can succeed in the present situation of affairs. The time is past when the army, deceived and surprised, served as the instrument of revolution. The 700,000 bayonets of the National Guard, of which Espartero boasted, have disappeared. The municipalities and pro vincial deputies are no longer clubs for conspirators. The only hope of the Esparterists rests in the disunion of the Moderate party. We do not believe that any such division exists. It is unfortunately proved, how ever, that a vast conspiracy had been organised, and that the province of Catalonia was to have been the first theatre of the deplorable excesses of the artisans of re volution. To overthrow the existing order of things, to drive the Queen from her throne, or to keep her in tutelage, such is the object of the men who announce themselves friends of progress. A terrific progress which can only advance through pillage and massacre. Fortunately these sanguinary plans have failed in con sequence of the energy of the Government and the zeal of its delegates."

BRUSSELS, OCT. 26.—The deputation of the Senate waited on the King yesterday to present the address in reply to his Majesty's speech. The King received the deputation very graciously, expressing his satis faction at receiving the address. The Chamber of Representatives met to discuss the draft of the address. M. Verhaegen moved to defer the discussion till Monday ; the motion was rejected by a majority of 36 to 21, and the address was voted without discussion. Twelve Members declined voting, alleging that they had not time to consider the address. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 9.—ln the night of the 2d of this month Pera, which has so often suffered by fire, was again visited by a great conflagration. The fire broke out in the quarters built of wood, and spread with great rapidity towards the north-west, and was not got down till it had raged for eight hours. The great street of Pera owing its safety chiefly to the long stone wall of the building belonging to the Rus sian Legation. The lowest estimate makes the num ber of houses reduced to ashes 200, the highest 400. We need not wonder at the difference, the streets and lanes, with few exceptions, being without names, and all the houses without numbers. According to other letters, which we shall publish to-morrow, the fire which destroyed the handsomest and richest houses in Pent was wilfully caused by the Turks. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BaussELe, Oar. 23.

The Moors seem determined to allow the French no rest in their new settlements, and during the absence of ARD•EL RADER fight with as much determination and skill, as if that enterprising chief wgre at their head. However peaceful may be the outward appearances, the native hostility of the people is constantly break- , ing forth, either by sudden irruptions, or by risings in the neighbourhood of some French garrison, ap parently reposing in the most profound security. The following intelligence, copied from the Algerie, of the 20th, appears in all the Paris papers of Sun day :—" Events of a very serious nature have just taken place at about ten leagues from Dellys, in the part of the country not yet subdued of one of the three Agalicks organised by the Marshal upon his departure for Morocco. At the very moment that General COALMAN was about to quit the country, which he fancied in a state of tranquillity, in order to return to Dellys, and thence to Algiers, he was informed that the Kahyles were again collected, and in a very numerous force. Assured of the truth of this information, he formed his small body of troops into three columns, which he ordered to march towards the spot where the Kabyles had gathered. The column commanded by Colonel SAINT ARNAUD arrived the first, and was obliged to sustain alone, for a great length of time (it is said that the combat lasted six hours), the onset of the Kabyles, three or four times more numerous than itself. It defended itself with vigour, and had almost entirely exhausted all its ammunition when the other two columns came up. One of them, commanded by Colonel FORET ) one of the most distinguished officers of the French troops in Africa, had been delayed by the bad state of the roads, and by the attack of another body of Kabyles, which came to increase the already numerous body of the combatants. It is re ported that 29 men have been killed, and 130 wounded, among whom are more than 12 officers ; one of whom has been obliged to_:suffer amputation. ..k.stmmer arrived in the evening of the 19th, with 106 wounded, and an account of this unfortunate affair. The "Marshal immediately gave orders for the departure of all the troops of the 3d leger, and of the 53d of the line, which still remained-at Algiers, and embarked himself with his staff and his aides-de camp, determined not to return until everything should be terminated in that part of the country. The squadrons of Spahis of Blida and Medea, to the number of three, have received orders to march im mediately for the Maison Carree, where Colonel YOUSSOUF will await them to direct their movements upon Dellys. There are already i three squadrons of the 3d Chasseurs upon the spot." A correspondent of the Siecle gives another version of this unfortunate affair " ALGIERS, OCT. 20.—T0-day the Sphynx steamer has arrived from Dellys, with 100 wounded, and several F more have remained at Dellys ; there are besides fifteen officers wounded (two of them mortally), and thirty-fire ' privates or non-commissioned officers have been killed. General Comman had for a month past been moving STORTIN G IN TELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET, MONDAY NIGHT. The result of the Cambridgeshire was a surpriso, and not a very agreeable one, we believe, to Lord Strad- . broke, his Lordship, on the strength of a trial in which his liiirse was detested, having laid against him at long odds, and materially reduced the value of the stakes. The race was run at a great pace, Walpole leading five or six lengths, followed by Evenus, Counsellor, The Cure, and some•of the light weights, Foig-a-ballagh lying behind them. At the Duke's stand Evenus had taken up the running, and at the distance the favourite was at his heels—Walpole, The Cure, Counsellor, and Algernon, following them. In this order the race pro gressed and finished, -Evenus winning easy by a couple of lengths, Walpole a very bad third, The Counsellor - fourth, The Cure fifth, and Algernon sixth—the last three running home close together. Walpole was placed third. The settling is likely to be harmless. In the race for the Criterion Miss Elis and Lord Glasgow's colt laid in front all the way ; the Turquoise colt waited on them to the cords, quitted them half-way up, and won cleverly by a length—Miss Elis, who swerved upon Lord Glasgow's colt about a distance from home, losing the second place by a head. The only Derby bets after the race were-28 to 1 agst Fitz Allen, 1,000 to 30 agst Brother to E 0, 40 to 1 agst Young Eclipse, and 45 to 1 agst Cabin Boy. ENTRIES FOR TUESDAY.

Bel-Kassem had ought refuge there, and organised a resistance. As at the Col of Tenialt, stone redoubts had been raised. General Coalman determined on attacking them. Colo- nel Saint Arnaud, with the 23d Regiment, was to carry them by a front attack, whilst Colonel Forey turned them by the right. The latter experienced great resist ance, and was unable to reach the rendezvous in due time. Colonel Saint Arnaud bravely carried the redoubt without firing a shot ; the Arabs, according to their cus tom, retreated after their first and only discharge, which put thirty men hors de combat. Our troops, being masters of the redoubt, awaited for six hours the arrival of Col. Forey. When he came up night approached, the ammu nition and provisions had remained in the camp, and it became necessary to return to it. The retreat was effected in good order ; but the engineers, who were in the rear, had two officers wounded, and twelve men hors de combat. After this engagement, which took place at about fifteen leagues east of Dellys, the troops re-entered that town. The Marshal Governor-General, on hearing of this serious affair, in which, despite our severe loss, we have had the advantage, has immediately ordered the departure of four battalions of infantry that have just arrived from Morocco. The Marshal himself proceeds to Dellys to-night. Three steamers, the only ones now in the harbour, are to convey these four battalions (2,000 strong), which are to reinforce the 1,500 men under com mand of General Comman. To-morrow. at dawn, they will be in the enemy's country, and on the 23d or 24th at the latest hostilities will be resumed." The Journal des Debats contains the following re marks on the new move in Ireland : COURT OF ALDERMEN. (THIS DAY.) At half-past one o'clock a Court of Aldermen was held at Guildhall, for the purpose of swearing in Mr. Moon as Alderman, and upon other business. Sir PETER LAURIE rose and said he had great pleasure in moving a vote of thanks to Sir William Magnay, Bart., for his dignified conduct in the grand ceremonial visit of her most gracious Majesty on the opening of the Royal Exchange. Sir C. S. HUNTER seconded the /notion. Mr. Alderman Lucas, Mr. Alderman WlLsorr, Mr. Alderman WooD, and Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER, congratulated the Lord Mayor on the dignity which had been conferred on him, and hoped he would live long to enjoy the honour. The motion was put, and carried unanimously. Sir WILLIAM MACNAY said he sincerely Lhaulted the Court 'for this mark of their kindness, and he could assure them he felt gratified at the high honour which bad been conferred upon him. Mr. CACHEE, from the Lord Mayor's Court, then read the return of Mr. Moon, as well as the protests from Mr. D. Salomons and the inhabitants. Mr. Moon was then ordered to be called in, when Mr. WIRE rose and said, on the part of Mr. Salomons, he protested against the return. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER—Your protest cannot be received. A GENTLEMAN said he also wished to protest. The RECORDER—It can only be done by memorial. Mr. Moon was then ordered to come in, but the - Court was so crowded as to render it impossible for the newly elected Alderman to enter. Mr. Alderman COPELAND moved that the Court be cleared, which was done ' • and F. G. Moon was then sworn in as Alderman of Portsoken ward. • " The repeal of the union is no longer agitated. That symbol has done its work, at least till a new order. Mr. O'Connell himself feels that he must no longer abuse it, and he has locked it up, always reserving the right to brin g it forward when occasion requires. Repeal is, therefore, buried for the moment ; and the long and diffuse letter which Mr. O'Connell has lately addressed to his countrymen, may be considered its funeral oration. We know not, in fact, which we should admire the most, the rare boldness of Mr. O'Connell, or the still greater docility of the Irish people. During a whole year, with out counting preceding periods, the great agitator of Ireland has preached repeal—repeal — nothing but repeal. He turned all heads, excited all imaginations, raised all passions, and almost went to the verge of civil war. Then, one fine day, he found out that he was on the wrong road, that he was in a blind alley, and that he must turn about, or be brought to a full stop. The position was difficult. Continue the campaign of repeal—convoke new meetings—organise a new crusade against the Saxon, was a thing impossible for a man of intellect. The last limit of legality was touched, and one step more in that track must have called forth the force of Government to cut short the question. Mr. O'Connell knew well that the superiority of force was not at his side. On the other hand, the attempt to stop short the passions which he had excited was not without danger to him. Already Young Ireland complains—several protestations are made in one place or another, and one of the companions of the captivity of Mr. O'Connell, the editor of the Na tion, has gone the length of publicly blaming the mani festo of his leader. It is almost unnecessary to say that this new form of separation has as little chance of success as that which it replaces; and that federalism is not more substantial than repeal." The Moniteur contains three ordinances, giving the royal approbation to the adjudication passed on the 15th of October, for the concession of the Amiens and Boulogne Railway to Messrs. LAFFITTE, BLOUNT, and Co.; on the 9th of October, for the concession of the -Orleans and Vierzon Railway to Messrs. BAR.. THOLOMY, BENOIST, BOUSQUET, and Co. ; and on the same date, of the concession of the Orleans and Bor deaux Railway to Messrs. LAURENT, LUZARCHE, MACKENZIE, and Co. At Towrosit's, on Sunday, the Three per Cents. were quoted at 82f. 18c. We devote a considerable portion of our space this morning to a detail of the memorable event of which the City of London was yesterday the scene. The honours conferred by her Majesty on the metropolis of her em pire, however distinguished, can only be general ; but her Majesty, with graceful condescension, individualised it on this occasion by intimating in the most flattering terms to the gentleman who so worthily fills the office of Chief Magistrate, that it was the Royal intention to create him forthwith a Baronet of the United Kingdom. This mark of distinction is not only a compliment to the City in the person of its Lord Mayor, but a proof of her Majesty's sympathy with the general feeling of the citizens that his Lordship's zealous and able performance of the duties of the mayoralty are deserving of every praise.—Post. ALLOTMENTS.—The Duke of Buckingham is in creasing allotments of laud. He has recently signified his intention of causing about 15 acres of now very un productive land at Kingswood, called " Grub's Wood," to he let out in small portions to working men.—Ages bury News. ERRATEM.—In the Summary of Spanish news which appeared in The Sun yesterday, for " Heaven helps only those who themselves," read " Heaven helps only those who help themselves." NEW NAMES FOR STREETS.—As much injury is liable to be inflicted upon tradesmen by any alterition of the names of their respective streets, a Correspondent suggests that wherever such alteration takes place, the old name of the street should be written up under the new one. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) , (Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.) IN THE MATTER OF W. BROMLEY. The adjourned examination of the bankrupt, a soli licitor in Gray's Inn, whose case excited great interest on account of the application of certain moneys with which he had been entrusted by various parties, was ap pointed for this day, and long before the hour of sitting the Court was crowded with parties (many of them females) interested in the proceedings. Mr. Humphery appeared to oppose the passing of the bankrupt, and Mr. Sturgeon was retained on his side. Sir C. F. Williams entered, and on the case being called on, Mr. Huati'HßEY said that his Honour might remember that the bankruptcy's case was adjourned in July last, and that a very long period was given, in order that he might furnish accounts every way satisfactorY to his creditors. That had not been done, and they were then in pre cisely the same condition that they stood at the last examination. Sir C. WILLIAMS said that under such circumstances he coald not think of going into the case. It was dis tinctly understood, and the Learned Gentlemen engaged for the bankrupt seemed to assent, that the creditors should have every opportunity of examining and investi gating the aceounta. There were some debts to which there were more than two claimants, sod it was, h•-re fore, absolutely necessary that the case should be fully sifted. Mr. STURGEON had no doubt that the bankrupt now that he knew what the wishes of his creditors were, would do everything to satisfy the Court and them if a short adjournment were given him, Mr. HUMPHREY was quite opposed to any further ad journment. Sir C. WILLIAMS thought the only course was to ad journ the matter sine die, allowing the bankrupt to come up again to the Court, when his accounts were in a satis factory state. The bankrupt explained that he had done all he could to give an answer to every inquiry, and to explain every account. If the gentlemen who new raised objections would kindly inform him, or show him what to do, he would with thankfulness do it. The matter was, after a few remarks from Mr. Hum phrey, adjourned sine die. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff KENNEDY and a Common Jury.) PIERCE AND ANOTHER V. ADAMS. Mr. Sergeant Jones appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Thomas for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant JONES said the action was brought by the plaintiffs, Messrs. Pierce and Coatze, coachmakers in Long-acre, to recover from the defendant, George Adams, the sum of 191. 17s. 6d. In the year 1842 the defendant entered into the possession of a house situated in West-street, St. Martin's-lane, the property of the plaintiffs. The payments of the rent were very irre gular, and the plaintiffs had distrained some time ago. The defendant owed them 331. 2s. 6d., but in order to obviate the expense of bringing their action in one of the superior courts, they had reduced their claim to the amount for which the action was brought. The defendant pleaded that he never owed the money. Mr. TUOMAS produced a deed which had been signed by the plaintiffs, but it was unstamped, and the plaintiffs were nonsuited. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A ROBBERY SINGULARLY DISCOVERED.— William Ed wards, living at 43, Charles -street, Drury-lane, was brought before Mr. TWYFORD, charged with having stolen property in his possession. Policeman Bagnell, F 31, stated that he was on duty in Charles-street, Drury-lane, about one o'clock this morning, and saw the prisoner, in company with three others, standing in the street. Heard one of them say to the prisoner, " Did she halloo?" and then seeing witness they separated and went different ways. Witness went up to the prisoner, took hold of his pockets, which stuck out, and asked him what he had got there. He answered, It is grub," and witness then pulled out a valuable fur tippet and a cigar case. Witness innate diately took him to the station-house. Mr. TWYFORD—WeII, prisoner, what do you say to having these things in your possession? Prisoner—l found them in the procession, and held them up and cried out, " Dues any one own this ?" and no one owned it. _ _ Mr. TWYFORD—I must remand you, to find an owner for the property, as I have no doubt, violence was used obooilling of it. EARYLEBONE-(THIS DAY.) Culuous Casa.—Joseph Whetten, a iniddie-aged gen tlemanly man, who hung down his head, and appeared very dejected, was brought before Mr. Rawlinson, this morning, in the custody of Carter, 140 S. Carter stated that whim he was n duty this morning, about half-past nine o'clock, in Willsteds:reet. Somers town, the prisoner came up to him and said, " I wish to give inysvlf up into your custody for embezzlement," at the same time mentioning the name of Mr. Daniel Powell, of Liverpool, as the person whose money he had appropriated to his own use. He gave witne;&s a letter ,vhich he (the prisoner) said would explain the _particu lars of the transaction. The letter, which appeared to have been written from Liverpool yesterday, was directed to " Mr. Joseph Whetten, the Grapes, Drummond-street, Somers-town." It related to some transaction which was not fully ex plained, but evidently from the tenor of it, related to the vf , ry &I - Lids charge vu whicl: the prisoner had given himself up to the police. Mr. RAWLINSON (to the prisoner)—Do you wish to say anything in addition to what you have stated to the constable? The prisoner —No, your worship. Mr. RAIVLINSON said he supposed he must be sent to Liverpool. However, he should remand him until Mon day, and would apprise him if he received a letter before that time, authorising him (Mr. Rawlinson) to send him there. The prisoner was then conveyed to one of the cells and locked up. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY). Frederick Webb was charged with violently assaulting police-constable 25 G. It appeared from the evidence that the constable attempted to separate two females who were fighting in the Bagnigge-wells-road on the previous night, when the prisoner rushed upon them. A mob gathered, several of whom pelted the constable. The prisoner rushed upon him and struck him violently on the face, chest, and side, and kicked him in the abdomen. The police at the station hearing the cries of the mob, came to his assistance, and the prisoner was secured. He was sentenced to a month's imprisonment, without the power of releasing himself by the payment of a fine. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubitt qptntort. " Who runs may read." POSIZZON. The Journal de Cette (a small seaport in the south of France) gives an account of a terrible calamity which befel that place on Tuesday, the 22d instant. About four o'clsck in the afternoon, a thunderbolt burst over the town, and produced such awful effects that it is described as resembling a place which had undergone all the horrors of a siege. The Royal Arsenal, a large building, was entirely destroyed— even the walls not being left standing. The zinc roof of the building was carried into the air, and broken into thousands of pieces, which fell in diffe rent parts of the town, where they did a great deal of injury. Several other large buildings were also destroyed. At the same time, a storm prevailed in the harbour which wrecked and sunk six or seven merchant vessels, besides a great number of fishing and other boats. The number of persons who perished is calculated at about thirty, but the exact number was not known, and numbers were still missing whose fate was uncertain. A great number besides are severely wounded from the falling of houses, and even at the time when the accounts came away the people were afraid of a renewal of the disasters, as the storm was not yet over. The Kabyles have made another attack on the French troops at Dellys. A letter from Algiers, of the 20th, says there were 130 of the French kille d and wounded, of whom 15 were officers. Thirty-five men and two officers were killed. Several Progressista Spaniards have been arrested at Carcassone, Limoux, and other places leading to the Spanish frontier, their object being, as it is alleged, to create an insurrection in Catalonia. Troops had been marched towards Valladolid, where it appears a serious alarm was excited. The Minister of War had suppressed one second lieutenant and one sergeant in each company of in fantry, which will effect a saving in the budget of 3,513,706 reels vellon. Fuad Effendi, the Envoy of the Sultan to the Queen of Spain, has received from her Majesty, to present to his Imperial master, a magnificent coffee service in massive gold, consisting of a large tray, twelve cups and saucers, twelve coffee-spoons, a coffee-pot, cream-jug, and sugar-basin. A letter from the frontiers of Catalonia, of the 19th instant, states, that the movement made among the Spanish refugees in the French depots, has given occasion to the greatest vigilance of the French police along the frontiers. They did not exhibit such vigi lance, when Narvaez and party escaped from France, `,o overturn the Government of Espartero. The Courrier de Havre, of the 24th instant, says the Chamelion steamer brings news of a quarrel which had taken place in Malta between some American and English officers upon the subject of Louis Philippe and the Queen of England, which led to several duels. The issue of this unfortunate affair was not known upon the departure of the steamer. POZ1:013. Two young men, named Thomas Smith and George Heffell, were charged at Guildhall with stealing three pint pots from the Swan's Nest, in Coleman-street buildings. Sir Chapman Marshall remanded the pri soners till Thursday, that any person who had lost pots might look at them. At Queen-square yesterday, William Stanborough, a tall, fashionably-dressed person, who drove up to the private entrance of the court in his horse and gig, was charged with an assault on John Puleston, a boy in the service of Messrs. Rackstraw and Atkinson, fishmongers, Victoria-road, -Pimlico. The summons was directed to William and George Stanborough, of 6, Wilton-street, Grosvenor-place, but the latter did not appear. -It appeared that the boy had gone to 6, Wilton-street, to request payment of a bill ; that on knocking at the door he was forced into the parlour, where he was beaten and kicked by the defendant and two others. The defendant, who denied that he was present at the time, was fined 41. Yesterday three gentlemen, named Phillips, Hodg kin, and Smith, were fined 20s. for obstructing the police in keeping the line clear for the passage of the royal procession, in the neighbourhood of Trafalgar square. At Worship-street Mary Todd, the wife of a porter in a city warehouse, who stood charged with having been concerned in concealing the birth of a male infant, the body of which she had surreptitiously introduced into the Bethnal-green workhouse, on the admiSsion of its mother, a young woman named Maria Gaffee, who is now an inmate of that house, was finally examined and discharged, as there was no further' evidence pro , ducea - against her. William Allsebrook, deputy to Mr. Raine, an officer of the Palace Court, was charged at Greenwich with stealing two china egg cups, two china mugs, sundry china ornaments, curious shells, &c., the property of Frederick Starkey, a plumber, residing at Lewisham. The defendant who had been employed to make a seizure on the premises of the complainant, had removed certain articles. Starkey having paid the money required the restoration of his goods. They were restored according to the inventory, but the missing articles although taken by defendant did not appear in the inventory. The prisoner refused to give the complainant his address. He, however, discovered it, and found part of the stolen property there. Mr. Raine, who appeared on behalf of his man, made very light of the matter, and said the articles were of trifling value. Mr. Starkey said that the prisoner's son told him that there was another china jug, the match of the one in the basket, on the mantel-piece of Mr. Raine's house. Mr. Raine was put into the box and sworn. Mr. Jeremy then said—Now, sir, upon your oath, is it true that the cup alluded to was at your house? Mr. Raine, after a little hesitation, said —No, sir; I deny having seen it; he was, however, so much excited that night, that he could not remem ber. Mr. Jeremy, in giving judgment, characterised the case as one of heartless cruelty. Here was a tradesman in pecuniary difficulties, robbed under cir cumstances very painful, with little probability of redress e but having unexpectedly satisfied his cre ditors, fortunately found the means of detecting the offender. It was a high misdemeanor, if not a felony. The prisoner might consider himself very lucky in having escaped being sent to Newgate. He was fined Si. for the unlawful possession of the goods, and in default of payment be committed for two months to the county gaol. He was locked up. John Featherstone, aged 53, was charged on a peace-warrant, at the Thames Police -court, with pre senting a pistol at Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Wall, the landlady of the Britannia Tavern, in the New-road, St. George's-in-the-East, and with threatening her life. The prisoner has frequently been bound over to keep the peace towards Mrs. Wall, and at the last sessions articles of peace were exhibited against him He was liberated on bail only on Thursday last. The bail, it was stated, was " straw bail." The magis trate said that he knew, from long experience, that in 99 cases out of 100 false and artificial bail was given. The Chairman of the sessions must be made acquainted with the fraud. The prisoner was then ordered to enter into sureties, himself in 801., and two sureties in 401. each, to keep the peace until the sessions, and in default he was locked up. OTTET--...-MAREVECITILSZN. The Duchess of Inverness is passing the autumn at Kensington Palace, where her Grace occasionally entertains select parties at dinner. The Duke and Duobcao of Ivicumheatcr and Lady Olivia Montagu intend to pass the winter in Spain, for the improvement of her Grace's health, which has been for some time in a delicate state. The Duke and Duchess have arrived at Brampton Park, on a visit to Lady Olivia Sparrow, from Tandaregle Castle, previous to embarking for Cadiz. The Hon. Mr. Cadogan and Mr. F. Courtenay have returned to town from Lord William Powlett's seat in Norfolk and leave shortly on a visit to t he Mar q uis and Marchioness of Anglesey, at Beaudesert. On Saturday, George Cornwall Lewis, Esq., one of the Poor-law Commissioners for England and Wales, led to the altar, at Watford Church, Lady Theresa Lister, relict of the late Thomas 11. Lister, Esq., and sister to the Earl of Clarendon, and to the Hon. Charles Pelham Villiers. The Hon. Montagu Villiers officiated at the ceremony. 73Z260ZZ72111111 1301 :n a. On Wednesday, the 16th instant, application wa s made to the Court of Quarter Sessions for the county, at Exeter, for permission to erect a set of powder mills on Dartmoor. The Court took time to consider, and on Friday granted a license for this purpose to Messrs. George Frean and Co. The site selected is ten miles from Moretonhamptead, and two miles from Two Bridges. The nearest point of the mills to the turnpike road is 728 yards, of three feet each. The nearest point of the magazine to the road is 520 yards. The distance between the mills and the magazine will be 1,200 yards. On Friday, October 11, as a labourer was employed in digging flints on one of the highest points of the hills which bound the Vale of Pewsey on the north, he turned up a beautif u l orn ament of solid gold, weighing rather mor e th an two ounces and a huff troy, in the highest s t a t e o f preservation. It was ire. bedded in the earth at about eighteen inches under the turf. The only articles at all resembling it are the supposed Druidical ornaments called torques, of which several were discovered in Somersetshire to wards the end of the last century, but of base metal. Prince Albert's Hariers met at the gas house at Eghain t on Saturday, had three excellent rime, securing a brace and a half of fine hares. On Saturday the students of University College, Gower-street, assembled in the lecture theatre, for the purpose of inviting Professor Liebig, of European celebrity as a chemist, to a dinner. Though the matter had been only broached the evening before in UNION-HALL.-(THISI)AY.) Thomas and Michael Mahoney were charged with as saulting two policemen of the N division, one of whom has been so severely injured that he was unable to attend. It appeared that the policemen were on duty in the Grange-road, Bermondsey, the preceding night, about twelve o'clock, and had just met when the defendants came out of a house. One of the defendants had a stick, and without saying a word, struck one of the policemen with such violence on the head, as to knock him down, and render him insensible. The other policeman, in his attempt to take the assailant, was also struck, and knocked down. The policeman who was struck on the head was so badly wounded that he was unable to at tend, until which time the prisoners, who said they got tipsy to commemorate the Queen's visit to the City, were remanded.

Sir,—l am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to aansmit to you for the information of the Chairman and Committee at Lloyd's, a copy of a dispatch from the British Pro• Consul at Santiago de Cuba, reporting the wrec k of the brig Celia Large, of Cork, on the east reef of the island of Mariguana, on the 7th of August last. I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, To Wen. Dobson, Esq. CANNING-. Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 14, 1844. My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your Lord ship, that on the 21st of last month, the master, crew, and two passengers, of the brig Celia Large, of Cork, were placed under my charge by his Excellency General Don Cayetano de Mebina, Governor of this city, under the foil wing circumstances :—The brig Celia Large, of Cork, owned by several merchants of that city, but under the management of Mr. Seward Large, sailed from Kingston, Jamaica, on the Ist of August, with a cargo consisting principally of coffee, for Cork. On the night Of the 9th of the same month the vessel struck on the east reef of the Island of Mariguana, and almost in stantly filled with water. The master, Henry E. Jones, six men, and two passengers, immediately went into the long boat with some provisions, and remained by the vessel until next morning, when finding the sea making a complete breach over her, they set sail before the wind with an old blanket, until the 13th, when they discovered the Island of Cuba, and entered into the Bay of Nisse, where they were most hospitably received by one of the natives, and from thence were conducted on horseback to the city of Holguin. They were also well received there by the Lieut.-Governor of that city, who supplied them with money for their expenses, and sent them to this place, escorted by a lieutenant of the army and two soldiers. I took charge of the nine men, and distributed them between several of the British vessels in this port, bound for Swansea, with the exception of the cook, a coloured man, belonging to Jamaica, whom I sent thither in her Catholic Majesty's schooner Ysabel 11., bound to Kingston for the mail.
