4 - 41 444'rif"4.ti r .4A ,i 77 zt:;- stbitikN DEATH OF THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL We regrtt to announce the death of the Right Honourable the Earl of Liverpool, which took place suddenly, at his residence, Buxted Park, Sussex, this morning (Friday.). It appears thal the Noble Lord being indisposed, on Monday last, Mr. Prince, Surgeon, of Uckfield, was sent for and found his Lordship suffering under a slight attack of pleurisy. No dangerous symptoms, however, appear to have manifested themselves, as his Lordship was perfectly able to leave his room, and it was not until Thursday that it was considered ad visable to obtain additional medical assistance. On that day, however, as a precautionary measure, a massage was dispatched for Dr. Brown, of Brighton, who was speedily in attendance, and having con tulted respecting the proper treatment, returned to hat town, leaving Mr. Prince in attendance on his Lordship. At that timo the noble lord evidently thought the attack was not of a serious character for he would not allow any one to sit up during the night, and it was only by Mr. Prince's directions that, unknown to his lordsleid, a person did remain in attendance. That there was then some anxiety manifested, however, by those around his Lordship is evident from the fact that a messenger was despatched that night to the Isle of Wight to inform. his Lordship's eldest daughter, Lady Caroline Harcourt, of her noble parent's illness. It was about eleven o'clock when his Lordship re tired for the night. A foot bath was placed for his use, and the servants retired. It was the last time the Noble Hord was seen alive. At half-past two on Friday morning, Mr. Prince and his Lordship's valet knocked at the door of his sleeping apartment, in order to administer the medicine which had been prescribed. There was no answer. Thinking his Lordship had fallen asleep, they opened the door, and there they were indeed startled by,the sight that presented itself. His Lordship usually slept in a sofa bedstead, which stood against the wall of the apartment. On this bed stead, in a sitting position, his head supported by the wall, lay the Noble Lord—life was quite extinct, and at least an hour and a half (it was calculated) must have elapsed since his Lordship's decease. The feet-bath had evidently been used, and every preparation usual with his Lordship before lying down had been made. It is of course impossible no w t o ascer tain pracisely when the lamentable event occurred bat e; is supposed, from his Lordship's position, than he died just as he was getting into bed, being sud denly seized with a spasm of the heart, which was the proximate cause of his Lordship's decease. The bell, which was quite within reach of his Lordship, was never rung, which almost renders it certain that his death must have been frightfully sudden. Immediate steps were taken to conv , iy the melancholy intelli gence to his Lordship's Buxted."; relati v e s , who are hourly expected fl! L')rd Liverpool leaves no male issue, and as there are no collateral relatives in the male tine, the titles of Earl of Liverpool and Baron Ilawkesbury are extinct, and the extensive estates devolve upon his Lordship's daughters and co- heiresses. Sussex Express. LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT, Friday. THE REP3I3,TEAS AND THE PRESS. At half-past ten o'clock his Honour the Judge o p ene d the court. The attendance was very thin. After some preliminary business, his Honour, in an address, made another attack on the reports which had appeared in the papers as not being sufficiently full or accurate. The only reporter then present challenged his Honour to disprove the verity of any paragraph or notice of his proceedings which he had ever written, and said he felt convinced that there was no truly recognised reporter o f any paper in Liverpool who dared to offsr the proprietor an account he was not prepared by his notes to prove as accurate. Some manifestations of applause were here indulged in, and his Honour disclaimed any intention of alluding to the reporter who addressed him ; ou the contrary, he respected the courteous manner in which the charge, had been repudiated. The reporter said he was convinced, if the warm-heartedness of which his Honour had spoken were sincere (which no one of right mind would doubt after the solemn assevration of his Honour), that the remark with regard to the re port was, at least, inconsiderate. His Honour at the conclusion of the business of the court again assured the reporter that he did not intend to insult him, as he (the reporter) had ever showed respect to that court. The reporter thanked his Honour, but he begged to observe that he was not speaking for himself alone but for the profession to which he belonged, and that he w:.3 only vindicating the character of honourable men —men, he hoped, who were above suspicion, and who were not present to defend themselves. His Honour replied that, the reporter was only taking a manly and straightforward course, and that he was happy he had elicited the explanation.— Liverpool Chronicle. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) ka the early part of the week the market presented qilre a lasguid character for almost every description of anares, but we are glad to report that within the last few days it has returned to a more satisfactory condi tion, the mines operated in being both dividend and speculative, whilst some concerns, which have lately been at high prices, show symptoms of an early approxima tion to their intrinsic value. The market is, however, a losing one to the majority of sellers, and is likely so to continue, in consequence of the shares having been burthened originally with premiums, which vanish when the excitement which created them is over. The only noticeable feature of the market is that dividend mines are in the ascendant, and in many cases inquiries are made without finding sellers. The news from the mining districts is, generally, of a satisfactory character, that from Ireland particularly so. The Cern Brea Mines have declared their 80th divi desad-24 per share.

A special general meeting of Wheal Vincent adven turers, Orli most satisfactory character, was held at the offices, King-street, on the 30th Sept., the arrears of THE SUN, LONDON, calls (except an inconsiderable sum) being all paid, and the mine reported as bearing unmistakeable evidences of wealth from the operations of the streamers over the north lode, where, at the shallow depths of their work ings, they were taking away large quantities of tin. The mine will go to work, and the lode be cut in the 20 fm. level, for the sum of 501, as soon as there is water to work the wheel; and the present body of ad venturers will cheerfully pay any further call necessary for the erection of a steam-engine, the prospects of the mine fully warranting the outlay. Daring the week shares have been sold in Alfred Consols, West Alfred, Tremayno, Wheal Robins, Kirk cudbrightshire, Bargally, Speedwell, United Mines, South Caradon, Samson, Trannack and Bosence, Tre hane, Merllya, Mining Company of Ireland, Wicklow Copper Mine, North Robert, Nant-y-Car, Caradon Wood, Helvellyn, East Boringdon, Chyprase Consols, Tremar, Devon Consols North, West Polgooth, Devon Great Consols, Treviskey and Barrier, West Providence, Trelawney, Wheal Ruth, Mary Ann, Kilbricken, Pen zance Consols, Hingston Down, South Tamar, South Tolgus, Wheal Arthur (Calstock), Bedford United, Wheal Lemon, Bodmin Consols, Hennock, East Tamar, Wheal Harriet, Wheal Russell, Pendarves and St. Au byn, Wheal Williams, Raleigh, Condurrow, Silver Val ley and Wheal Brothers, Wheal Williams, Raleigh Mine, Condarrow, &e. In foreign shares transactions have taken plaee in United Mexican, Cobre, and Worthing, at an advance. We this week present our readers with the usual sum mary of the quarterly sales of copper, lead, and tin, the former of whi c h may b e rel i ed on for ' correctness as far as the public sales by ticketting are referred to; the two latter must be considered only as near the true amount as our endeavours from every source with which we are acquainted, where information is to be obtained, enables us to furnish it. Of tin, in particular, our re turns are very meagre, compared with the quantity raised. It will be observed that a considerable falling off has taken place in the sales of copper, English and foreign, as compared both with the last quarter, and the corresponding one of 1850. In the Metal Market—Coer is steady; a large quan tity has arriv e d from Coqu imbo, but was sold prior to reaching here; several cargoes have also arrived from Russia, but not yet offered for sale. In Lead some large sales have been made, at lower rates. English Refined Tie is in good demand for the manufacture of tin plates. Bar and Block in fair request, at the quotations. Foreign suffered slightly from some parcels being pressed for immediate cash, but the market has now quite recovered. Duty was paid on 2,467 cwts. daring the month of September. East India Tin has slightly declined. In Tin Plates, owing to the manufacturers old contracts having run out, and being anxious fir fresh orders, the prices have somewhat declined, but large purchases have bean made for all parts. The fol lowingis the quantity of b oxes o f p l ates shipped from Liverpool during the following months:—March, 39,507; April, 50,377; May, 42,621; June, 36,990; July, 36,344; August, 36,938; September, 25,890. The shipment to New York alone during September was 1,931 boxes. About 100 tons of Spelter have been sold at 141. 2s. 6d., Oct. and Nov. shipment; 500 tons at same price, prompt Jan., and cake 7 s, s middleshipment. of J s tons on the spot, at 14/. for fit for the Bombay market, are scarce and wanted, and would sell at 141. 103. The stock on the 30th September was 13,569 tons. The London imports for the week comprise—from Hanahurgh, 2 ; 285 pl ates spelter; Adelaide, 100 tons copper err; Antwerp, 61 casks 241 sheets zinc; Peters burgh, 5,605 ingots copper ; Cronstadt, 2,982 ingots copper, 4,206 plates copper; Ceylon, 689 casks, 164 b.r rels, and 59 bars plumbago; Stettin, 80 tons spotter; Dantatc, 1,284 plates spelter; Seville, 1,290 bars 859 Figs lead, 772 Vs. kali ore; Calcutta, 470 slAbs tn. At Hull —from Haraburgle, 4,526 plates spelter. The arrivals at Swansea include—from Havannab, 230 tuns copper ore; Cuba, 550 tons ditto; Marseilles, a cargo of ditto in bulk and casks. The cargo of copper ore from Algiers consisted of 125 tons. The ticketings for 100 tons of Laxey (Isla of Man) lead ore varied from 15/. 15s. by the Tamar Smelting Co., to 18/. as. by Walker, Parker, and Co. The ticketings for 100 tons of Newtonards (Isle of Man) lead ore varied from 71. 145., by Pontitex and Wood, to 10/. Is. 63. by Newton and Co. Court Grange sold 20 tons of silver-lead ore at 141. 2s. 63. per ton; and 6 tons at 11/. ss. per ton. The Keswick Mines sold 16 tuns of lead ore at 9/. ss. per ton. _ Great Polgooth sold a parcel of tin, value 1,484/. 12s. The Black Craig Mines sold 226 tons of lead ore during the past month, 130 tons of which were raised in that time, producing 1,247/. There is every prospect of increasing the returns, the mine being considerably im proved, and a vast deal of ore ground laid open. We expect, therefore, the time is not far distant when we shall have the pleasing duty of adding its name to our list of dividend-paying mines. At the Ty warahayle Mines, 592 tons of copper ore are for sale on Thursday, and there will be about 40 tons of lead and silver ore for the two months. The stopes generally are looking tolerably well. The lead lode at Wheal Clarence is improving at almost every point; and this part of the concern presents a very fa vourable appearance, THE GREAT MOSAIC TROPHY AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. Few works of art in the Crystal Palace have commanded more surprise and admiration than the elaborate and beautiful mosaic pictures, standing so prominently in the centre of the western nave, re presenting the ruins of the Temples of Taciturn and the surrounding scenery, by Rinaldi, of Rome, one of which was executed for the Emperor of Russia. Copies of celebrated works, by Raphael and other masters, have been executed in mosaic, and have the effect of paintings produced in the usual way, though they are attended with infinitely greater cost, and are, beyond all comparison, more laborious and tedious in their process. A s eac h s eparate piece of glass is of the same colour throughout, the graduation of tints, the melting off any one colour, from its highest light to its d ar k es t s h a d o w, can be obtained only by an immense number of small pieces, of which those contiguous to each other exhibit scarcely any perceptible difference to the eye. The sole advantage in any degree pr o p or ti onate to t h e cos t a tt en d ing it is the extreme durability of the work when once ac complished. For a long period after the decline of the arts, mosaic painting continued to be employed in Italy, both externally and internally, for the decoration of churches ; as, f or instanc® on the facade as well as within the basili ca o f S t. M ark, at Venice. Some have supposed that such productions were entirely the work of Byzantine or Greek artists, but the con trary opinion is maintained by Cicognara, who as serts that mosaic was practised by native Italians, and that it was well known to the earliest Venetians. The works under our notice are the most extensive of the kind that have ever been submitted to public inspection. IVe are so accustomed to the smaller types of this most minute and delicate art, as to re gard its development on a wider field with wonder and suspicion. The beautiful picture of which this is a material fac-simile, appears as though it were fresh from the easel of the artist, rather than from the hands of the manipulator. The chefd'euvre of the Gobe- Ilns room, the " Destruction of the Mamelukes," after Horace V e r ne t, i s not a truer copy of its great original. It is impossible to award higher praise. To give some idea of the prodigious amount of la bour and time bestow e d u p on t hi s no bl e an d mos t unique achievement, it will s u ffi c e to state that it s artist, Signo r Ri na l d i , who is unrivalled in this art, was engaged fif teen years in its production ; whilst, as to the number o f p i eces, eac h o f w hi c h was sepa rately inlaid,we belie ve we s h ou ld no t exaggera t e a t 1 estimating it at no t l ess than the total of visitors to the Great Exhibition since its commencement. We are not aware who is the exhibitor of this beautiful work of art, as it is not stated in the catalogue, though we notice, from a card affixed to it, that information on the subject may be obtained of Mr. Fell, 26, Bread-street, City.

COMMISSARIAT DEPARTMENT.—It appears that 12 commissariat chests, with its concomitant staff of officers, are stationed in Canada, and it is considered that there is no necessity for so large a number, and a reduction to some extent should take place. NAVAL ASSISTANT SURGEONS.—Mr. Phillips, an assistant surgeon, who has recently entered the Navy, and has been appointed to her Majesty's ship Impreg nable, has resigned his commission. CAPTAIN POLLEN'S ARCTIC BOAT EXPEDITION. — Commander Pullen, who ord charge of the Boat Ex pedition on the shores of North America in searching for Sir John Franklin, arrived at the Admiralty yesterday, having come home in the Hudson Bay Company's ship Prince of \Vales, and landed at Deal yester.day morning.

METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION Yesterday a court was held at the Sessions-house, New ingtoa-cause way—present, the chairman (Nlr. Lewes), Sir John Burgoyne, Mr. Hawes, and Cap tain Dawson. The accountant reported that the available balance amounted to 6,3761., and necessary payments to the extent of 964/. received the sanction of the court. Some applications of no general inte rest were then disposed of. THE ESSEX STREET SEWER. The CHAIRMAN said it would be recollected that a short time ago the consideration of the Essex•street outlet had been entered upon, and some discussion having taken place, the matter had been referred back to the engineer to prepare a detailed plan and estimate. It was then suggested that the work should not be merely of a temporary character. Keeping that suggestion in view, the engineer had prepared the following report In obedience to the instruc tions of a former Court I have examined the outlet of the Essex-street sewer again, with a view of covering it over to low-water mark. And having taken into consideration the suggestion of the Commissioners, that this might be a permanent work, I have to re commend that 300 feet in length of cast-iron pipes, three feet in diameter, be laid down under the surface of the river bed to low water mark, and that a flap should be hung upon the present out let to keep the effluvia from issuing from the mouth of the present sewer to the inconvenience of the public, and fur the discharge of extraordinary storm waters. The estimate for the work will be 5681. The difference between this proposition and that sub mitted in my last report, is in the material—that being a wooden trunk, this being an iron pipe. At about one-third the length of this pipe it will ulti mately be connected with the main low level sewer, and the remainder of its length will then serve as an overflow in cases of very heavy rains, so that the whole of this work will be of a permanent character, and afford general benefit, and should be paid for out of the district rates. And as the discharge at low water mark will be into the channel of the river, the nuisance to the public frequenting the steam-boat pier, arising from the stench, will be as far as practi cable removed. The river being permitted to rise every tide up the pipes into the sewer will leave the sewer, after this work is finished, in the same condi tion as at present, and there will be therefore no fear of the sewer being overcharged with back water or the tide." Captain Dewsoer thought the present position far more desirable than the previous one, but he was of opinion that the inhabitants should contribute some thing towards the work. The CHAIRMAN considered that the work would prove beneficial to the public in general, and would, therefore, recommend that the expense be defrayed out of the district rates. Captain DAWSON would not press his objection, con ceiving the work one likely to prove most acceptable to a large class of persons. The work was then ordered to be executed, as were also the undermentioned :—The construction of 1,640 feet of sewer in Phillimore-place, Ken sington, 952/. ; the construction of 3,278 feet of pipe sewer in London-street and Hyde-vale, Green wich, 840/. ; laying down 990 feet of pipe sewer in line of open sewer at the rear of Clarendon-place, Camberwell,llsl. Other minor works were then agreed to, and after disposing of the cases of several defaulting ratepayers, he Court adjourned. SEABORNE MAILS.

John Keate aged '2B, and Patrick Reardon, aged 30, were indicted fur having stolen 154 . pounds weight of lead, the property of John Kelp, their master. Mr. Parry defended the prisoners. It appeared from the evidence of the policeman, that about half-past twelve o'clock on the day of the 23d ult., as he was on duty near Grosvenor-square, he saw the two prisoners, each carrying a large piece of old lead. He watched and followed them until they had entered the shop of a marine-store dealer, at No. 36, Thomas-street. He went into the shop, and found that one of the portions of lead yas already _ _ undergoing the process of weighing. He inquired of the prisoners whence they had brought it, and for whom they worked. Eventually they stated, when at the station-house, that they had brought the lead from No. 18, Grosvernor-street, which house was _ _ undergoing repair; that a cart had been loaded that morning with old lead, but that, as there had not been sufficient room, they had put these particular pieces aside, and that during the dinner hour they had taken them away. Mr. PARRY, in his address to the jury, said that this admission of their guilt by the prisoners had come upon him by surprise, for not one word of the fact had been set forth in the depositions which had been taken before. the magistrate at the police-court. The Learned Judge, however, had held, that as the con fession bad been made at the station as well as at the police-court, the statement of the fact was now ad missible as evidence. The Learned Judge had at the same time been kind enough to reserve the point upon the objiection he had taken upon the subject. If the evidence were admissible, that evidence having gone to the extent of a clear admission of their guilt, it was manifest that it would be vain for him Co weary the jury by any lengthened observations. He would therefore leave the matter in their hands, after having called some witnesses who would testify to the excel lent character both of the men had hitherto borne. Several respectable witnesses then spoke in high terms of the prisoners in reference to the character they had borne. Mr. WITISAM summed up the evidence. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but recom mended them to mercy, on the ground of their former good character. Mr. WITHAM said that that recommendation of the jury would lessen the punishment of the prisoners by two months. The sentence upon them each was, therefore, four months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Henry Williams, aged 17, William Jones, aged 19, and George Brown, aged 19, three short and young looking boys, were indicted for having unlawfully placed their hands in the pockets of divers women, whose names were unknown, with intent of stealing therefrom the goods and chattels therein contained. The policeman who was in attendance at the Poly technic Institution, in . Regent-street, stated that on the evening of the 24th ult. his attention was attracted by the bustling conduct of the prisoners, all of whom he knew to be young pickpockets. They tried to maintain a crowd around them in this way :—Upon their arrival at that part of the exhibition were the electric machine is situated, one of the boys placed his hands upon the brass balls several times, and by his behaviour soon gathered a crowd around the spot. The other two boys then mixed in the crowd, and he distinctly saw them put their hands into the pockets of several ladies, but from the rapidity of their move ments he was unable to see whether they had suc ceeded in their attempts. After this the boys moved off to the diving bell, which was about to be put in motion, and here again he saw them repeat their at tempts. Indeed, during the half hour which he was watching them that part of the evening he saw them try at least half a dozen pockets. The boys were entering one of the theatres or lecture-rooms attached to the institution, whither he was about to follow them, when he was called away by the manager to see a lady whose pocket bad been picked of a sove reign and a half-crown. But for that circumstance he should have kept his eye upon the boys either un til he bad caught them in the act of actually picking a pocket, or taken them into custody at the termina tion of the amusements. Upon apprehending them he asked each boy what money he had. Jones said 6s. 5d., Brown is. Bd., and Williams 3d. He, how ever, searched them, and found in Jones's coat-tail pocked upwards of 11. The prisoners, in their defence, expressed great in dignation at the policeman not having taken them into custody, if he was so certain that they were thieves, the first time he had, as he stated, seen them try the ladies' pockets. Why had he not done that, they should like to know; why didn't he take them then ? But the truth was, the man knew nothing about them; he was wrong, and they were innocent. Then, as to their having pushed about, why they had paid their money, and, like all other people, they had a right to have their full money's worth, and, having paid their money, why, they were determined to get a peep, and as good a peep as they could, at all the amusements in the place ; and " where was the harm of that ere ?" said Williams. "He had as much right to see everything as any one else." Mr. WITHAM then left the case to The jury, who at once returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. Mr. WITHAM said that, by the account he bad be fore him, the prisoners, although so little and so young, were old and well-known thieves. As to Williams, the youngest of them, he found that he had been summarily convicted and imprisoned no fewer than six times, and he had also been once convicted by the verdict of a jury. A policeman here stepped forward, and said, that he had long known the boys as expert pickpockets, but that they appeared upon the present occasion under different names. Their real names were Probert, Hunter, and Sleete. Probert had been convicted at the Old Bailey, and Hunter had been summarily con victed, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. As to Steele (Williams), the Court had already read that boy's history. Mr. WITHAM said the Court would sentence the prisoners each to imprisonment and hard labour for twelve months. Jones—What, all of us the same ? Mr. WITHAM--Yes, twelve months to hard labour. Jones—Well, that is fine. Well, my money; to have that, I suppose ? Mr. WITHAM—No, that belongs to the Queen. Jones—Well, I like that ; that money's mine, and what right— Mr. WITHAM—Remove that prisoner. The prisoner was thereupon removed, greatly to his manifest annoyance and dissatisfaction, not only at not having the money handed to him, but because he was not allowed to argue the point as to his right to have it. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THAMES. William Green, a tall, north country, weather beaten seaman, aged forty-four, was brought up on remand, before Mr. Yardley, harged with commit ting a brutal assault on a girl, and with assaulting several other persons and two police-constables. Mr. YARDLEY said, the fact was the prisoner was mad drunk, but he could not permit that excuse to be set up as a palliation for such gross and brutal con duct. He should fine him 51., and commiOim to the House of Correction for two months in default of payment. He would be further imprisoned seven days for the assault on the policeman. LAMBETH. Mr. NORTON, addressing our reporter, said that in reference to the distressing case of the Misses Eicke, which had appeared in the public journal s, and which had excited the sympathy of many benevolent indi viduals, he had received several communications, some of them reflecting on the family generally, and from this circumstance, as well as a desire to comply with the requests made by many of the benevolent persons who had forwarded subscriptions, he had caused inqui ries to be instituted respecting the conduct and charac ter of the family, which were not finally concluded. He was, however, glad to say that as far as the inquiry had yet proceeded, the impropriety of character ap plied only to the father and sons, but that as respected the Misses Eicke, the very highest character had been received of them from all quarters, and it was highly gratifying to find that, notwithstanding the ex treme depths of destitution to which they had been subjected, sometimes wanting the commonest neces saries of life, and the strong temptations that might have been thrown in their way, they preserved their character so pure that not even the slightest imputa tion had been uttered against them. Until the fullest inquiries should be made he (Mr. Norton) should retain the whole of the money forwarded to him ; but, as its subscribers might feel naturally anxious to know their various contributions had reached him, he (Mr. Norton) should feel obliged to the press to pub lish the following contributions, viz. :—" Mr. Uzielli," 31.; " J. D. It ." 10s.; " B. Y.," 2s. fid. ; "Widow's Mite," 5y., in postage stamps; "A. Pantees," 11. ; " W. M.," 1/, ; " J. A. H." (Streatham), 1/. ; " C. W. T.," 11.; " E. C.," 108.; " W.

B. C.," postage stamps for 2s. 6d. SOUTHWARK. Alexander Munro, an old soldier, discharged after services in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, applied for the magistrat4's advice under the following circum stances : The applicant said that he had served twelve years in the 71st Highland Regiment, during which period he was engaged in several battles in the Peninsula, and lastly at Waterloo, for which he had the medals. Being discharged and having fallen into infirm health, arising from the privations he bad undergone while in the army, and having no pension fur his services, he transmitted his testimonials of character while in the 71st Regiment to the Duke of Wellington, in the hope that his Grace would appoint him to some humble employment, or place him on the pension list, so that in his old age he would not be driven to seek an asylum in the workhouse. Those testimonials he enclosed to the Duke of Wellington in August last, but received no answer, and, although he had since written requesting that his Grace would order the re turn of his papers, which were of the utmost impor tance to him, yet they were never sent back to him. The applicant here handed in the copy of a letter he had transmitted to the Duke of Wellington on the subject, and requested that the magistrate would peruse it, and it would prove that it was couched in terms deserving some consideration. The letter was to the following effect " London, Aug. 15. " My Lord Duke,—From the well-known urbane and gentlemanly manner which so peculiarly characterises you ou receiving communications, even from the meanest individuals, I, as an old soldier, am emboldened to ad dress these few lines to you, humbly hoping you will be pleased to condescend in paying a little attention to my present appeal. " I have had the honour of serving under your Grace's command in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, in the gal lant 71st Highland Regiment. Five months ago I took the liberty of enclosing to you ceritificates of a silver medal I received from the commanding officer of that regiment, as a testimony for courage, loyalty, and gene ral good conduct, which, with other two medals, is the only remuneration I have received for ten years' active service, and two for Waterloo, making altogether twelve years, but which certificates have not been returned to me by your Grace's subordinates. I transmitted them to your Grace to convince you that I was no impostor, and that, as I am now in the winter of old age, without friends to succour M 9 or money to support me, that you will be pleased to extend the hand of benevolence, and exert your powerful influence in procuring some humble employment, which may enable me to pass the remnant of my declining life, if not in comfort, at least aloof from the workhouse, which is not a fitting asylum for one who has endangered life and limb in the service of his country. " From your Grace's most obedient humble servant, " ALEXANDER MUNRO, " Late 71st Highlanders." The magistrate, Mr. COMBE, said, at the request of the applicant he had read the letter addressed to the Duke of Wellington, but that he could give him no advice, as it related to matters entirely distinct from those over which magistrates had any control. The applicant said he was at a loss how to act for the recovery of his testimonials, and thought the best plan was to seek the advice of a magistrate on the sub ject. He added, he suspected his papers were kept back from the notice of the Duke of Wellington. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

Refiners' produce is also in very limited demand, and prices are lower.—Bristol Mercury. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 3 .—We ar e still rece i ving good supplies of foreign wheat aud flour, but with our present c miuming power and low prices . we reire them. At this morning's market a good business was r transacted in at an improvement on Tuesday's prices wheat and flour, of ld per bushel on the former, and 6d per barrel on flour. Several speculative investments have been made in American flour the last day or two, and again to-day, and more confidence is entertained. There was no change in the valu e of Indian corn, nor of any other article of the trade, NEWBURY, OCT. 2.—The quantity of wheat pitched large, and she quality very fine. At the to op e d n a i y n gis very of the market a brisk demand ensued, and a very large amount of business was speedily done , our m ill ers g enerally feeling disposed to get into stock. Although wo can note no advance in prices, still they have an upward tendency, and most of the large supply was cleared off. Barley in good supply; malting in re quest at 25s to 28s per quarter; other sorts a slow sale at barely late rates. Beans, oats, and peas, moderate supply, and in slow request at late rates. EXETER, OCT. 3.—Cattle Market—There was not so large a number of beasts driven in to-day as last week. The supply, however, was by means small, and prices generally were well supported. There were so me ver y fine sheep in the market, which attracted much atten tion. :Cows and calves were not plentiful, and sold at from 81 lOs to 121. Primo beef fetched from 7s 6d to 8s per score; steers, from 181 per pair; barrenners sold at from 4s to 5s per score; butchers calves, 4d to 4d per lb. Thre were a few yearling heifers in the market , which sold at from 51 Ws and upwards. Sheep— wethers, 4id to 5d per lb; ewes, 4d to 4id.

Wheat was quoted at 4s 9i to ss; barley, 3s 3d; oats, Sis 3d to 2s 4 per bushel. Flour about the same as last week. Wool —Trade is dull, staplers refusing the give more than lid per lb. BANGOR, OCT. 3.—At our market to-day the attend ance was pretty good, with an average show of grain samples. Wheat samples, of this year's growth, offered at 35s to 365; barley, 24s to 265; oats, 14s to 15e; oat meal, 26s per 240 lbs. Transactions on the whole were very limited. No ItTIIALLERTON, OCT.

WOOL TRADE, LONDON, OCT. 2.—The market for wool is very well supported, and there is a good demand for most sorts. The arrivals are increasing. During the week ending to-day the imports have been 4.998 bales, of which 1,226 came from Sydney, 615 from Moreton Bay, 942 from the Cape of Good Hope, 945 from South Australia, 378 from Bombay, 292 from Swan River, and the rest from Jamaica, China (1 bale), Egypt, Germany, and Spain. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, OCT. 3.—A con siderable business has been done in this market during the past week, chiefly, however, of a speculative cha racter. Prices may be quoted about the same as for some weeks past. ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, OCT. 3.—We have 110 im provement in the demand for combing wool this week, and prices still tend in favour of the buyer. LIVERPOOL WOOL, OCT. I.—Business has been quiet during the past week for all kinds but Australian, for which there is a good inquiry. The week's imports consist of 17 bales from Lima, 4,658 Islay (Peru and Alpaca), 31 Oporto, 261 Lisbon, 80 Egyptian, 2 Buenos Ayres, 37 Gibraltar, and 141 from Iceland. TRADE OF LEEDS.—Neither on f.iaturday nor om Tuesday was there much business transacted at our. Cloth-halls; nor have there been quite as many goods , delivered to direct order during the week. Pikes keep steady, and the stocks are low tor the season. There has been a pretty good business done in the warehouses, principally with the larger London buyers, many of whom have been in the town since this day week, and have purchased more freely than for some time. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, OCT. 2.—We have had a• very dull and inanimate market to-day, in consequence of the discouraging nature of the commercial advices which came to hand this morning. The India letters are extremely disheartening, speaking of monetary diffi culties which had almost led to a panic at Calcutta. From the United States the advices were also bad; whilst some failures of consequence were spoken Of nearer home. Amongst the latter was the stoppage Of Messrs. Slater and Robertson, commission merchants, Glasgow, with liabilities said to reach 150,0001. With the commercial horizon thus clouded in so many direc tions, it will not be surprising that both merchants and manufacturers were disposed to extreme cautiousness its their transactions here to-day, and the result has been a very limited amount of business. Both yarn and cloth were rather freely pressed on the market iu some quar ters, and prices were a shade lower. Yarn was in some cases id per lb lower than on Tuesday, and cloth ld to 1L -d per piece. TRADE OF LEICESTER.—There is a fair business doing in the warehouses. Several buyers have been in the' market, but their purchases aro made with great cau tion, and generally there are stocks already made to inset the demand. The prevailing opinion is that the trade will be a late one. Last year the heavy stocks were held over by the factors, and they are doubly cautious 11 1 assorting up. There is a better demand for yarns used in the fancy hosiery, which is now becoming very active: other sorts are dull, particularly the lower kinds, upon which spinners have been making sacrifices. Wool con' tiaues steady. BRADFORD, OCT. 2.—Wool—The state of this branch of the trade, so far as relates to English wool, presents no new feature, for evidently the spinners are so die spirited, that to buy they are unwilling, especially at the prices which staplers are seeking for all kinds of flair haired wool. In the low and heavy kinds of combing wool there is a greater disposition to sell, but the reduc tion is so. comparatively small that sales cannot b e effected. In colonial wools there appears to be a spirit of speculation fully rife, and a briskness may ®es ; peeled at the next public sales in London, which will probably take place at the middle of this month. Yarns —This has been a week of the same class as mail during this season, which have been of an unusually pre' fitless character. Pieces—During the last two or Oree weeks the merchants have adopted great caution in t l l, ll. "urchases, believing that the market would be f,„ 11 ",. 88 1 stocked with fancy mixtures and plain goods. manufacturers have determined to act with unusual care , and have stopped their looms as their orders have run out, and several large concerns who work with Jacquard . harnesses have entire rooms standing, being unwilling to make except to order. The quantity of goods noW coming from Lancashire is very small. COAL MARKE' ; T.--YESTIRDAY. Hasting's Hartley 15s 9d Wall's End, &e.
