The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 6,000 tales, of which 500 American were taken on speculation. The market was steady. The sales comprised about 4,500 American, 300 Peruam and Ma refill= at SV. to 61d., 30 Bahia at 6d., 500 Egyptian at 51d. to Sd., 1,000 Surat at to 3id., and '4O Sea Island at ls. lit to ls. Cid. per lb.—The Share Market firm, with a good demand for Midland and North estern. The Colonial Markets have been inactive this week, and there has been a decline in some descriptions of Sugar. Coffee is dull, but Ric•, Cotton, and Rum have been firm. Tea and Tallow sell in small parcels. Tho Brazilian Mail has arrived, and brings news of the 18th of August from Sydney, confirming the accounts about the yield of gold. Our direct advices this morning from Port Philip are to June 6 th only, but they supply intermediate accounts of interest. From Melbourne it is stated— " The drought has now fairly broken up, and we have been visited with mild and copious rains during the last few days. We hear that it penetrated nearly over the whole of the interior, having been experienced in the Geelong, Kilmer°, and Mount Macedon districts. The grass is now coming forward, the only danger to stock being from the too soft feed." The latest Geelong advices refer to a silver mine being discovered, and state— " A vessel has been advertised here for the land of gold, with great inducements held out to parties to pro ceed by her, in the shape of cheap passages, liberal al lowance of grog, and freight allowed each passenger to the amount of one-fourth of a ton. One would almost think from this that the owners expected a difficulty in procuring passengers for her. " I have also heard it said that a party here is pre paring an enormous covered dray, to bo drawn by bullocks, for an overland trip to Bathurst. T oe dray is intended to carry the bedding , rations, &c., of sixteen men, who are to pay 101. per head for the trip. " The whirlpool of excitement, in which we have been plunged lately by the gold discovery took a slight re verse turn yesterday, owing to the reported discovery of a silver mine by the M. M. Herald in our own colony; and many people gravely ask, what is the use of our leaving a country rich in other resources besides mine rals, to speculate in the gold fields of Ophir. With gold at the Plenty, Mount Macedon, Mount M'lvor , t he Pyrenees, and the Yuuw Yangs, with lead and copper in the neighbourhood of the Pivot,' and coal at Loutit Bay, we ought to be satisfied that wo have our own share of mineral wealth ; and although these aro only reports not yet sufficiently authenticated, there is no knowing how soon any or all of them may be. If a sur vey of the most likely mineral localities were undertaken by a competent person, there can be no doubt that there would be little inducement offered us to go to Bathurst, and numbers who have sacrificed snug little properties, or thrown up respectable situations, will once again wish themselves back in Victoria. In the meantime, let our farmers keep their ploughs going, there will soon be a great demand for food, as there now is for gold. " The weather yesterday and,to-day has been very fa vourable for the grass—calm with slight showers, and occasional glimpses of sunshine." The fact that the Bathurst gold " diggings" were yielding largely up to the month of August must be deemed highly important, and the influence which we may expect to see exercised upon the future of Australia, should the discoveries maintain their character, it is almost impossible to over-estimate. The Brazilian advices are to the 15th ult. They con firm the previous information as to the critical position of Oribe, and the triumph of the Monte Videana is con sidered a certainty. Until this affair is settled trade will be unfavourably affected both at Rio and Buenos Ayres. The Funds are very quiet, and not looking quite so firm as yesterday. This may be the result of a little disappointment that the Bank of England did not yes terday reduce its terms of discount. Consols have been done for a moment at 984 for Transfer, but are now again 98$ The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 98i to 1, and the Three per Cents. ` 37 a a Exchequer-bills are flatter, being 51s. to 545. premium, after having been 525. to 555. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have made as arrangement with the Sub-Marine Telegraphic Com pany for several dispatches from Paris during . the day. The expense is said to be great, and as business - com mences late in the day at the Paris Bourse, the bene will not be very material, unless the hours are changed there. The Foreign Securities have been neglected, and the settlement has caused very little alteration. Spanish Bonds are higher, the Five p er Cents. being 20i an 4, the Three per Cents. 39 to Mexican Bonds are 241 to 1. Dutch Four per Cents. are 90k. Railway Shares have been buoyant, b u t the transac tions are not extensive. Gold Mine Shares are quoted 11 to 14 for Aguas Fries, 4 to a for West Mariposas, 4to tur Ave Ma rius, and a to 1 for Nouveau Monde. QUARTER TO THREE.

Since Monday, the receipts of Engligh Wheat, coast wise, have been very limited, but in excellent condition. Flesh up to-day the arrivals by land carriage were small; hence, the show of samples of both red and white was trifling. Although very few of the large millers ...ere in att( ndance, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled steady, at full prices. Fur for ward shipment from the east coast a few transactions tock place. The imports of foreign Wheat have been confined to 7,280 quarters, about 3,000 being ou account. Selected qualities were in fair request, at ex treme quotations. In the middling and inferior kinds, comparatively little was doing. The show of both Eeglish and foreign Barley being steadily on the in crease, the demand was less active, at unaltered figures. In Malt we have very few transactions to report. On the whole, the Oat trade was steady, at full prices. Beans, Peas, and Flour were quite as dear as last week. The arrivals of grain off Falmouth continue small. A cago of 500 quarters Polish Odessa Wheat sold for Holland at 32s 63. per quarter. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. I Barley. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

ST. .A LEAN'S, THURSDAY.—To-day the Commis• sinners re-assembled for the 10:1 time, and closed their inquiry so far as at present practicable. A num ber of additional cases, disclosing systematic bargain and sale of votes, were gone into. Each voter re treatel, on the extraction cf the shame-faced confes sion, into the obscurest corners of the court, waiting for his certificate of protection, given under the Act of Parliament, to all such as confessed to the truth of being bribed. The principal case was that of a voter named Blanks, innkeeper, of the White Hart, who admitted he was one of the parties who came up to London with the view of getting Sir R. Carden to stand. This man acknowledged boldly, that he entered on the electioneering campaign solely in the sense of a matter of business, and of pounds, shillings, and pence. Purity of principle was all prunella, it had nothing to do with elections in St. Alban's, nor did he believe that any candidate, however estimable or honest, could become sitting Member for St. Alban's without he spent a great deal of money. In his opinion, however, the money that had been laid out to secure the last election at St. Alban's, as compared with previous elections, and with Maldon and other places he could mention, was comparatively nothing more than a " milks core."—(Lnughter.) A number of voters known to have been bribed, and who had been summoned to attend, did not ap pear, the reason assigned being that some of them were absent from St. Alban's a week at a time, at work in the neighbouring districts, and others, from a mistaken notion of the consequences of disclosing their venality, bad, to use the parlance of the place, " stepped it." A considerable object of attraction during the pro ceedings, and which,•either by accident or design, was brought under the notice of the Commissioners, was a massive silver snnff box, belonging to Edwards, who, on the closing of the court, mounted his horse, in waiting without, and rode off to his farm at Bricket-wood, some three miles from St. Alban's, halting at stages in the town to talk with the voters he bribed. The snuffbox, containing some excellent rappee, had on its lid the following inscription : " Presented to Mr. Henry Edwards by 1,000 and upwards of the working classes of St. Alban's, by ld. subscription, as a mark of their respect and esteem, in token of their disapprobation of the perse cution to which he has been subjected, Bth Aug., 1851." The strange character of the tribute will be a sufficient apology for giving publicity to a pre sentation so contemptible, the date being indicative of the fact that it was given after the owner's 18 weeks' imprisonment in Newgate for the people who presented it. Shortly before 1 o'clock the Commissioners intimated that they had determined on adjourning the further proceedings to Ist December, to give time for the production of still absent voters, and the examination of Messrs. Wilks, Craven, and Repton, the candidates at former elections. They had to thank the Mayor, and all parties concerned, for the great assistance they had given them in the course of the inquiry, and a general feeling of satisfaction was expressed through the court at the urbane and considerate manner in which the Commissioners had discharged the very stringent duties and powers conferred on them by the Act of Parliament. KOSSUTH. The following is a copy of the noble exile's reply to the congratulatory address presented him by the Portreeve of the Corporation of Saint Clears, on the occasion of his arrival in this country, a copy of which address has already appeared in our columns : " Winchester, Saturday. " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re ceipt of your favour, of the 4th inst., and to express the feelings of gratitude, which I cannot but deeply entertain when I receive so many testimonies of sym pathy, from both communities and individuals,:as I have already done during the short period that has elapsed since I landed on the shores of England. More es pecially must I feel those expressions which, like your own, point not only to the past but to the future, on which all my own thoughts and hopes are fixed. "I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "L. KOSSUTH. "Hugh Williams, Esq., Portreeve of Saint Clears." ALARMING ACCIDENTER OM INCAUTIOUS USE OF GUNPOWDER. Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, the inha bitants of Thomas•treet, Kennington, and vioinity, were much alarmed by a loud explosion, which nearly resembled the discharge of a piece of ordnance, and producing a violent trembling in the surrounding houses. On endeavouring to ascertain the cause vo lumes of smoke were seen to issue from the windows of Mr. Dixon's, No. 3, Surrey-place, near the Surrey Arms. Shortly after Mrs. Dixon was observed to rush from the house in a state of great excitement, and it was then understood that her husband had shot himself. On inquiry it appeared that a youth named Alfred Dixon, aged 15 years, a son of the foregoing, had, while his mother was engaged in the kitchen, gone up stairs and procured from an upper room a powder flask which belonged to his elder brother. The flask contained previous to the explosion nearly a pound of gunpowder. This the lad, Alfred Dixon, held in his left hand, and in his right a small toy cannon, which he was in the act of firing over one of the hobs of the front parlour fireplace, when some of the grains falling upon the live coals caused a communication with the flask, and the contents ex ploded. The poor lad was thrown on the floor by the violence, but shortly recovering himself, rushed into the garden with both hands bleeding, exclaiming " For God's sake take me to a doctor's." He was instantly conveyed to Mr. Brown's, surgeon, of Camberwell New-road, and eventually to St. Thomas's Hospital, when it was found both hands and arms were dreadfully lacerated, the left thumb being nearly severed. From the great hemorrhage which had taken place, it was feared lockjaw would ensue, hut there is no doubt amputation of one or both hands will be necessary. The room in which the occur rence took place presented a scene of devastation. A great portion of the mantel-piece, brickwork of the chimney, soot, and rubbish were scattered on the floor ; the pictures and other articles of furniture were dashed down and destroyed ; squares of glass were broken in the windows, through which had been driven into the street, to a distance of several yards,the, cap and neck of the powder flask, the remaining scattered fragments of which were found under the sofa, at the opposite side of the apartment. The ceil ing of the kitchen in the rear was thrown down by the explosion, and other parts of the house and furni ture materially damaged.

REUNION DES ARTS.—This society re-opened its o a pe v n e very elegant t Mozart'sand fashionable quartets, Noc. winter season on last Wednesday night, and the rooms at 27, Queen Anne-street, Cavendish-s( were crowded with admirably by Messrs. Golemick, Goffrie, Boose, and Goodban. Mdlle. Garcia's solo, sung from Me •erbeer's "Robert le P w aa h rue iC 1 1 ,. t .a li s e pl s a ( 3 )i-r e d d e mO 'a s s t Diable," was most exquisite, and dr3ewjst enthusiastic a pplause, as well as that of Mdlle. Magner, Miss Young, Mr. Stoffregen, and a new German singer, Herr Jahns. Mr. Kloss's solo on the piano , and the fine performance and deli cate fingering . also were much appreciated and applauded. Between the first and second parts one of the directors, Mr. Golemick, addressed the company in a few words of great feeling, congratulating the society on their success, and en treating the company to continue with their patronage and support. The second part was opened by a trio from Beet hoven by M.. , and Mme. Goffrie, and Mr. Goodban which was most masterly executed, and was followed by Mdlle. Garcia's beautiful French song, which was most enthusias tically encored, with .many other performances. The most agreeable evening was prolonged to a late hour, in the course of which it was announced by the Hon. Secretary, Mr. Detkens, that next Wednesday the celebrated Beethoven septet will be performed on stringed and wind instruments. TEE INLAND REVENUE.-oe, Saturday afternoon the immediate neighbourhood of W hite Swan-yard, White chapel, was alarmed in consequence of the sudden appearance of Tyson and Blackmore, two Inland Revenue officers, and a large posse of police constables, who, from previous informa tion, proceeded straight to :No. 9, White Swan-yard, where, The wash was thrown down the after having forced an entry, they found in the cellar a re cently set copper still, capable of holding about thirty gal lons, and a large quantity of molasses wash in a state of 11, which had not been used except fer mentation in a great number of barrels and other vessels, evidently prepared with the view of carrying on a very ex tensive contraba a n n d d t t ra n d e e s . ti common sewer, for warming the liquor, was, with the other effects, removed to Old Broad-street, and condemned. The owners of the still, however, appeared to have received some information of their detection, and decamped before the approach of Tyson and Blackmore, whose extraordinary exertions in that district, and the peculiar measures adopted by them to discover these revenue defrauders, have so astonished .. them that they will be deterred from pursuing their illicit practices in that quar ter, at all events for some time to come. --Cheltenham Examiner.

SOUTH AMERICA SOUTHAMPTON, NOV. 13.—The Royal Mail Com pany's steam-ship Severn, Captain Vincent, with the Br2zilian mails, in charge of Lieutenant Scriven, R.N., Admiralty agent, arrived this day at half-past twelve o'clock. She also brought mails from New Zealand and Sydney to the 18th of August, which were transferred at Rio de Janeiro from her Ma jesty's frigate Havannah, to sail for England on the 18th October. The latest dates brought by the Severn are— Buenos Ayres, Oct. 4 ; Monte Video, Oct. 6 ; Rio Janeiro, Oct. 15 ; Bahia, Oct. 19; Pernambuco, Oct. 22; St. Vincent, Oct. 3O; Teneriffe, Nov. 4; Madeira, Nov. 5 ; Lisbon, Nov. 8. The freight of the Severn comprised gold and gold dust to the value of 1,2001., diamonds to the value of 28,0001, a quantity of wine, ipecacuanha, and a large number of packages of general merchandise. The following is the list of passengers :—Mr. Campos and Mr. Ronand, his Excellency M. de St. Georges (French Minister) his Excellency S. F. de Macedo (Brazilian Minister), Sir Francis Hopkins, Bart., Mr. Charles Nathan, Mr. M. de Miranda Rego, Mr. Luis Dagon, Mr. L. C. A. de Souza, Mr. F. In Riviere, Mr. W. Brugge, Mr. Edmund Ca yaux, Mr. A. Muir, Mr. C. C. Dick, Mr. Thomas Cochran; Mr. John Freeland, Mr. H. M. L. Beggs, Madame Duval, Misses N. N. and J. Pereira da Nota, Mr. John Standen, Mr. J. T. Holgate, Messrs. Baker and Grant, Mr. W. Cossart, two Misses Cos sart, and child, Mr. J. M. Costa. Thirty landed at Lisbon. It is said that General Oribe's position was most critical, he being nearly surrounded, and this is more than probable, as General Urquiza and the Conde de Caxias were concentrating their movements on San Joie, and the Oribista party had suffered severely from desertion. It is evident that the affair is fast drawing to a close, as Oribe is unable to resist the combined force brought against him; and there is no doubt that he will surrender. It is reported that he had sought refuge on board her Majesty's ship Tweed, and that his remaining troops had been made prisoners; but until the delivery of the mails we abstain from noticing various rumours afloat on this subject. The Brazilian squadron, under the command of Admiral Grenfel, was in the River Plate. A line of railway is immediately to be construc ted between the mouth of the river Move and the foot of the Serra, a distance of about fourtee❑ miles. The formation of this line will diminish the distance between Petropolis and Rio, and will form the first link in the chain of railway communication which Brazil will before long possess. The concession for this line is in the hands of an eminent Brazilian largely connected with England. The survey has been made by an English engineer. About the middle of September the Eliza Frances, Caroline, and Regulator, while endeavouring to cross the bar at Rio, bound to Liverpool, all three struck heavily. A strong current running at the time car ried the Caroline and Regulator out to sea, but the Eliza Frances drifted on, and became a total wreck ; all hands were, however, saved. The news from Sydney with respect to the gold diggings is most satisfactory, it being represented as abounding with the precious ore. British Ships-of•war at Rio—Boneta, Cormorant (steamer), Crescent, Geyser (steamer), and Havana. American—Lexington (troop ship). French—Fortune (troop), and Proserpina. At Monte Video—Southamp l i - ton, Tweed, Rifleman. At Bahia—Conflict and Locust. Lieut. Curtis, commander of the Locust, died on the morning of the 19 h , after a short illness. At Madeira —Danish corvette Ornen, naval instruction ship going to Rio, with young officers. At Lisbon—Prince Regent, Leander, Arethusa, La Hogue, Dauntless. French ships—Henry IV., 120, and Narval (steamer). The Severn exchanged night signals with the Teviot on the 26th of October. Her Majesty's ship Prince sailed for the River Plate on the 14th. RIO. OcT. 2.—Taken altogether, the business of the month was to an average extent. Of imports the receipts were again excessive, and, except earthenware and salt, almost all the sales effected were at losing prices. The trans actions iu produce were, at times, extensive; a larger amount cf exchange than usual was negotiated. In other respects the money market was destitute of interest. Coffee—The market was active until the sth, after which there was a suspension of business; and upon the arrival of the Tay there was no disposition to purchase unless at reduced prices. Holders were, however, firm. in consequence of supplies of new having come forward very slowly, and probably by reason of the number of vessels in port awaiting cargoes. Nothing of moment thenceforward was done until the 19th, and in the in terval the stock increased materially and prices under went a decline of 100 rois, at which extensive purchases were made on the 19th and 20th. followed by a reaction in prices, which from and after the 26th ruled as high as prior to the decline, and the market continued brisk at the close of the month. The sales, about 90,000 bags, were for the United States; the bulk of orders, without limit, has probably been completed, and unless purchases continue upon the like gi,gantic scale, prices may become more moderate, for supplies are much more free, and of these two-thirds new, and larger supplies aro at hand. The next European advices are expected to be favour able, but we must not fail to recollect that our actual currency prices are considerably in advance of the value in any of thet consuming countries. The quotations given refer to new; old ruling at 100 to 150 reis less, and 50 to 100 reis in advance of our highest quotations were paid for choice parcels. MONEY MARRET.—Discounts were abundant at 6 per cent.; demand very restricted, and business much more limited than in the preceding months. EXCHANGE.—An extensive business was transacted, particularly for this steamer, attended by some fluctu ations in the rates. London-29,f was the opening quo tation, and although bills were negotiated as high as 0 93, by far the larger amount of transactions occurred at 29k, 293, and 29, business having likewise been done on the 12th and 13th for the Tay at 28i and 284. After the 13th nothing was noted until the 20th, when some large sums were taken at 29, the only rate until the 25th inclusive. On the 26th and 27th considerable amounts were negotiated at 291, later at 29 to at 60 days; 29i- to 4 at 90 days; 29 was the general quo tation on the 30th. Our estimate of the transactions of the month is-440,0001., including 20,000/. taken by the Treasury upon London; 950,000 francs upon France, &c.; 150,000 mares banco upon Hamburgh. STOCK.—Very limited transactions at 91 to 92, the market having been flat on the 30th ult. Specie—lf we except some little inquiry for doubloons prior to the sailing of the Prince strainer, when 29 500 were paid, little was done ; the previous quotations and those which ruled later were 29 000 to 29 200. Patriot dollars ranged from 1 850 to 1 880. Shares—Commercial Bank rose from 625 to 640. Brazil Bank from 7 to 10 premium. POSTSCRIPT.—MONDAY, OCT. 13, TEN A.M. Coffee—No Bales reported, quotations nominal. Shipped from the Ist to 11th, 101,301 bags. Stock this day, 130,000 bags. EXCHANGE.—The closing transactions on Saturday were at 281 to 29, 60 ds., 29 at 90 ds. upon London, 330 to 332 France. We estimate the transactions since the Tay at 400,000/. upon London, of which 40,000 taken by the Treasury, 900,000 francs upon France, and 300,000 mares upon Hamburgh. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

The deceased gentleman was connected with diplo macy from an early period, and, in the service of the State, we believe, amassed considerable wealth. He was a graduate of Christ Church, Oxford, and the owner of property near Andover, Hants, which goes to Lord and Lady Charles Wellesley. Our readers may remember that it was while proceeding from Welbeck to Thoresby that the late lamented Lord George Bentinck died.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Sharpshooter iron steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Bailey, arrived this afternoon from the Brazils station, to be paid off. She has brought no news, having left Rio as far back as the 13th of September. The squadron was dis tributed as follows :—The Southampton, 50, Rear- Admiral Reynolds, was at Monte Video, to which place the Geyser steam-sloop was on her way with supplies for the squadron ; the Tweed, 14, Com mander Lord F. Russell, and the Rifleman steam vessel, were also at Monte Video; the Cormorant, Commander Chamberlain, the Harpy steam-tender, and the Crescent receiving-ship, were at Rio--the Cormorant hors de combat; the Conflict, 14, Com mander Drake, and the Locust were at Bahia. The Sharpshooter called at Pernambuco on the 3d ult., apd at St. Vincent's on the 18th. The Severn Royal mail packet, outwards, bad touched at Pernambuco, and passed on on the Ist. Lieutenant Carnegie has come home on promotion in the Sharpshooter, which has been very successful in capturing slavers, having taken as many as nine during her service on the coast, viz. :—One brigantine with slave equipments, off Rio, by cruising; one brigantine equipped for slave trade, off Cape Trio, by cruising ; one two-top sail schooner equipped for slave trade, out of Mocabe, by information ; one topsail schooner fully equip ped, off Campos, by cruising (she was heavily armed, had been chased four days previously by the Sharp shooter, and had then a cargo of slaves on board) ; one cutter, off Manguinas, having 74 slaves (26 had died on the passage over), taken by cruising ; one brig fully equipped, off St. Paul's, Bahia, taken by cruising ; one schooner, empty, of Rio, by informa tion (this was the Valaroso) ; one brig, off Busios, 102 slaves on board, taken by cruising on information; one schooner, taken out of Tigucas river by four boats and 36 men of the Sharpshooter, and one boat and six men of the Locust.

Northumberland prive life-boat, made by James Beeching and Sons, Great Yarmouth, from Woolwich to Ramsgate to morrow, where she will remain in charge of Mr. Samuel Beeching until the other life-boats are ready for being tested in the open sea off Brighton. ROYAL MARINES. Colonel David Anderson Gibsone, of the artillery companies at Portsmouth, is appointed Col.. Com mandant of the Woolwich division, in the room of Col.-Commandant Thomas Adams Parke, C. 8., pro moted by brevet to the rank of Major-General.

Williamson, of the Chatham di vision, has been removed, with his recruiting party, from Stamford to Stirling. Captain Thomas Hurdle, of the Chatham division, has been removed, with his recruiting party, from Chelmsford to Swaffham. MR. FREDERICK PEEL, .31. P. (From the Morning Herald.) It has always been our opinion that young Mr. Frederick Peel, who has succeeded to the post vacated by Mr. Benjamin Hawes, did not accept that onerous and thankless berth without consulting the confidant and friend of his late father—without having the ad vice and approbation of the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Ripon. This, which might at the first blush, seem to be shrewd surmise, is now almost re solved into positive certainty. We learn from a Car lisle paper that, shortly „antecedent to his being gazetted, Mr. Peel made a flying visit to Netherby, and having remained there a night wended his way back to Whitehall, and thereupon said " yes" to Lord John Russell. Lord Bacon tells us that straws thrown up show what way the wind blows, and by so slender a sapling, and by so very young a political twig as the M.P. for Leominster, we are enabled to learn how it fares with the older trees of the forest. To drop everything like metaphorical meaning, it must be very plain to every human being that, with his present Cabinet, Lord Jobn Russell cannot go on till March. Against colonial mismanagement, against Grey arro gance, wilfulness, and petulance, the country cries out with one loud voice. England, as Kossuth said at Manchester and Birmingham, and as he re peated yesterday at the Hanover-square Rooms— England is not a country circumscribed within the handful of territory embraced in these little British isles ; but has colonies far and near in every latitude and in every sea. If the prestige of our country go in reference to one colony, in what position are the remaining ones ? It is not merely the expense or the enormous outlay, therefore, that in such a state and conjuncture would be in question, but the reputation —and on the reputation depends the power of Great Britain. Let but the despotic Powers of the Conti nent know we are in trouble, and think you they will not strain every nerve and put forth all their means to aggravate and increase that trouble ? The Premier sees and feels this. He full well knows that the ad ministration of Lord Grey will not bear an examina tion, and therefore he needs must strengthen himself by some of the ablest of the Peelites. So, with this view the narrow edge of the wedge is introduced first, to the end that the Cabinet door may be forced open for a Graham, a Gladstone, and a Lincoln. OPENING OF THE SUB-MARINE TELEGRAPH. Yesterday the success of this important and inter esting undertaking, was again demonstrated by a variety of experiments, which were performed at Dover under the superintendence of Mr. Statham, of the Gutta Percha Works, Wharf-road, City-road, and Mr. Crampton and Mr. Wollaston, engineers to the Electric Telegraph Company ; Lord de Manley, Sir James Carmichael, Mr. Campbell, solicitor to the company, and many other gentlemen who left London fur the purpose of being present on the occasion. The event created much excitement in the town, and a large number of the inhabitants assembled on the beach to witness the operations. On former occasions during the last few weeks, telegraphic communica tions have been transmitted to Paris by means of the sub-marine telegraph from the South Foreland, about four miles from Dover, and the success of the under taking has been already amply demonstrated. It however remained for those who have embarked in the undertaking, and to whose exertions the public are indebted for all that has been done, to com plete their work by proving the facilities for com municating between Dover and Calais. The object of the proceedings of yesterday was to establish the principle of submarine communication in its fullest integrity, by " opening" the tele graph to the public, who have now the satisfaction of knowing that they can transmit messages, in the space of a few minutes, direct from London to Paris. On the present occasion the opening and the closingporiacdeds of the Paris Bourse were transmitted t o th e Stock t T Exchange in London during busi ness hours . to the interest which attached to the proceedings of the day, several guns were fired through the medium of electricity, as formerly described, when certain ex periments were tried at the gutta percha establishment for the purpose of t es ti ng the efficiency of the wires. These guns were pl ace d on t h e cliffs or on_ the sea shore, and the sig na l b e i ng g i ven from Dover, the electric spark was communicated from Calais, and the report on this side the channel was instantaneous. His Grace the D u k e o f Wellington being at Dover, in attendance at the sessions, was saluted on his leaving the town by a discharge from a 32. pounder placed in the east bastion of the Castle, the electric spark by which it was fired being sent across the Channel, from batteries at Calais, under the superin tendence of Mr. Brunton, chemist to the Gutta Percha Company. or the complete junction of England lectri a c n tele ra h.

INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF MUTTON.—The de mand for good mutton w as so g reat at the Oxford monthly ale market, on Wednesday last, that a very considerable rise took place. Good wether mutton realized from 3s. Bd. to 4s. per stone. A pen of prime Downs (fed by the Duk e of Marlborough), realized nearly bid. per lb. Good ewe mutton was worth from sd. to 51d. Store sheep of all de scriptions were sold at higher prices. Beef fetched 3s. 4d. per stone. Good English bacon hogs and porkers made Bs. pot 1109 r , THE POLISH BALI,. The promised presence of Kossuth had all the effect upon the fortunes of the Polish Ball that was expected from it. The sale of tickets, amounting to some 1,800 or 2,000, was greater than upon any former occasion, and the Guildhall, at a comparatively early hour, was filled with the patrons of the festivity, who were drawn together partly from sympathy in the cause which makes its periodical appeal to the benevolence of the public, and partly from curiosity to meet the renowned Magyar, whose advent in Lon don has been attended with such generous demon stration of hospitality and welcome. The illustrious guest arrived about eleven o'clock, and the event was certified to the crowd by a blast from the trumpets of Mr. Harper and his son. Met by Lord Dudley Stuart and several of the civic dignitaries, Kossuth and Madame Kossuth, preceded by a body of wand bearers, commenced a tour of the ball, amidst the enthusiastic plaudits of the spectators. Having sat for a short period at the eastern end of the building, Kossuth, amid similar cir cumstances of escort, made his way to the concert room, where he experienced a reception of equal heartiness. About half-past twelve he moved into the hall again. The applause which greeted him at every step now increased in boisterousness and intensity, and the ladies pressed forward to shake the patriot by the band, which he complied with with a winning gentleness and humility of demeanour. It was nearly one before be got fairly clear of the building. The sidertainment, independently of this interest ing feature, bore a striking likeness to the entertain ments of other years. The decorations of the hall were the same as those prov i de d f or t h e grea t c i v i cs banquet on Lord Mayor's Day. The coup dceil alto gether was exceedingly rich and dazzling, for the fancy costumes, although few in number, gave great gaiety . and liveliness to the ensemble, the extreme lu minousness thrown over starthe salle by , the profusion of gas jets, and the blazing bringing out the variegated andevfe r t y hteb b rilliantly. a programsy i nthe h efAdams'sshape dances at the western extremity, ofb colours a n d was ofin theat tendance, included blka, e w ve a r l y ta r a p n u d laty qua drille.

Among them we Miss Louisa Pyne, Miss Dolby, Mi ss R ans f ordl 7 Harrison, Mr. Weiss, Mr. Benson, and others , whose , efforts, efforts, as far as we could judge, wer e regarded with infinite satisfaction. The cosmoramic pictures, th e evergreens, the statuary, &c., constituted a series of pleasing objects in the lobbies between the hall and the concert-room, and the contrasts they presented added much to the general sentiment of enjoyment. All the principal civic functionaries were present, be. sides many personages of high commercial note. The ball, in a word, went off with uncommon spirit and eclat. The funds of the association will doubt less receive considerable augmentation when the re sults of the festival are practically ascertained; and we therefore can but congratulate the "Friends of Poland" upon the success which has so largely crowned this fresh effort in a noble and praiseworthy cause.

The solicitor to the company stated that it was keel . - porated by royal charter, and the defendant became a l i shareholder about a year ago. Two calls have recently been made, and application made to the defendant for the amount, but on his takieg no notice of it he was compelled to bring the present action. Mr. John James Blair, the late secretary of the comecn pany, produced the deed of the company, which had b duly signed by the shareholders. He saw the defendant sign his name to the document as a shareholder. Mr. William Brown, chief clerk to the solicitor of the company in London, produced the charter of the com pany, and proved that two calls had lately been made on the shares, and the defendant had neglecto:l to pay. His lioNourt said shareholders must not endeavour to get out of their liabilities in that way. He should give judgment for the plaintiff, with costs. WORSHIP-STREET.—(TIIIS DAY.)

The prisoners lived apart from their parents, but called on them occasionally, and during the greater part of yesterday the house was left in the possession of his son James, who quitted shortly after tea. The prosecutor proceeded to his bed-room and found that a cupboard in which was a large trunk, containing the described property, had been unlocked, the trunk forced, and the cash-box gone. When apprehended the prisoner said, " I know nothing of the money, but the old man has been no father to me—the right party will be found out." It did not appear that the prisoner Henry was impli cated, but Mr. Hammitt remanded them both. Not any of the money has been found. Robert Mathews was charged with cutting and wound ing, with intent to murder, Harriet Turner, in the Duke of York public-house, Turk-street, Bethnal-green, by cutting her throat with a carving-knife. The parties cohabited together, and lust evening quarrelled in the parlour of the above house frum feelings of jealousy o❑ the part of the prisoner, who drew a table-knife from his pocket, put his arm round her neck, and cut her throat in such a frightful manner as to render it requi site to remove her to the hospital, where she now lies without hopes of recovery. Prisoner said " I've dune it, and fetch is policeman." Ile voluntarily surrendered himself.—Remanded. THE BISHOP OF EXETER'S JUDGMENT IN THE CASE OF THE REV. RICHARD ANTRAM. —The sentence pronounced by the Bishop of the diocese in the case of the Rev. R. Au tram, having, we understand, elicited observations on its ma de leniency, we may remark that, reference being made to the several charges and to the punishments attached to them by law, we believe it will be found that no heavier sentence could have been pronounced. For omission of Divine service, the lawful sentence, in the lirstance, is monition; for the neglect to baptise a chld, suspension for three months is the penalty prescribed by law.— Western, Luminaq• 101% 60% 129}i
