(Tili3 DAV.) An inquest on the Ladies of Anthony Faweej. and his tv: . o caildren, Frcelerich, aged 19 mouths, and Emily aged the and a half :ro- ars, was held to•day befare Carter, tho coroner for 1.:a;;; Suiley, wt toe Tavern, Wyndhatn.ronal, Camberwell. On iaTairy a•t ;J.: the dreadful eccurronca it was stsetataned that, tha surviving child, Mary Ann Fawcett, was improving, , hono not yet entir ly out of danger. Mre. FavveAt sears I,:ss from excitement and is more compusA in her mind. The excitement in the neighbourhood had not abated this morning, and the outside of the tavern was thronged with persons. After the jury had hetn sworn, The CORONER said he Inld been informed by Dr. king, that though the widow and child were not in a fit state to b present at the inquiry to-day, they were both much b,:tter. He therefore proposed to take tho iden tity of the bodies, in order that they mif;,ht be buried according to law; next the evidence of the parties who were first called in, and then the evidence of Dr. King, who would show the cause of death in each case. The jury then proceed, d to view the bodies, which present , d a frightful spectacle. Sophia Fawcett, single woman, aged 19, examined — She said I heard first of this affair on last Tuesday morning. I was living at 4, Queen-street, Oxford street. I am a dressmaker, and have been living there two years and a half. On the morning in quesaion I re ceived some information of the death of my father, and I came hero. I knew my parents were living here. I was at home on Saturday evening and came away on Monday morning. They came here on Saturday. The house is No. 1, Queen's -place, Wyneiham-roal I have not seen my father sinen his death. The CORONER—Is there any party present who has seen the bodies, and can identity them ? A person in the room here intimated that he thought he could identify the deceased persons. The CoaeNEr. (to witness)—Do you think you could bear up and go and see the body of your father, and brother, and sister? Witness (crying)—l may, Sir. She was then conveyed out of the room by the Leadle to the house over the way, and came back greatly de pressed. Witness's examination continual—l have just seen my father, and sister, and brother. His lau,iness or occupation was that of a porter to Mr. Bridgeman, confectioner. He was forty-two last January. My sister's Christian name is Etily. She is five years old. The youngest child's Christian names are tide rick Anthony; ha was twelve months old last January. Sarah Sadler was next examined; she said—l am a widow, and live a', 7, lielstead-place, Camberwell. I was coming out of my own door on Tuesday morning, at eight o'clock, when I saw a female knocking at the door of No. 1, Qtn!en's-place. No one answered, and she knocked a second time, and then looked through the key-hole and said, "My dear, open the door." I did not see any one inside at that time, nor did I hear any noise. I supposed she was addressing her child. In about four minutes the door was opened from thein side, and then the woman screamed out. I went close up to her, and saw a little girl covered with blood standing close to her. The first word it said was "Oh, mother, go up-stairs." I left the mother and went up-stairs to the hack bed-room on the first•flaor, and there I saw a child lying on the bed covered with blood. It appeared to have a bit of bread and butter in its baud—it was a female child. Two men loilovircd me directly, and they went close up to it. The child was dead. The blood was gushing from the throat. I lett the room instantly and came down to the back parlour; there I saw a child lying on the ground. I went up, touched it, nod found it was dead. It had some sugared bread and butter in its hand. It was dressed in night clothes. and had shoes and stockings on. There was blood on the flour and on its dress. Toe blood appeared to come from its throat. I next went into the washhouse, sad saw a police man and another person dragging a body of a man from under the sink into the yard. He was alive at the time, and gasping for breath. He had a carving knife in his hand. He had on dark trowsers, slippy rs, a shirt, but neither coot nor waistcoat. There was a great deal of blood upon the ground, and his hands were both covered with blood. I never saw any of the persons before the occurrence. The woman went to the side or private door. I found the shop door was fastened when I went inside. The back door, which leads to a small garden, was partly closed, the body of the man preventing its being entirely opened. There was nothing to indicate that any person bad escaped from the house after having inflicted these injuries on the bodies. (The inquest was proceeding when our report left.) THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the receipts at the doors yesterday amounted to 2,8301. 1 ls., the number of visitors being 59,050. It rained fast and furiously as the hour approached for the building to close, and great was the dismay and confusion, the demand for cabs, and the cramming of omnibuses, in consequence. The south entrance of the transept was completely blocked up with impatient arid distressed w ait ers u p on th e s ky e y i n fl uences . Th e distress manifested by the female portion of the as semblage for the prospective destruction of their finery was particularly affecting, nor in the wildest flights of Bloomerism could anything be found more grotesque than the arrangements of dress which were made to neutralise as far as possible the effects of the weather. Gowns were inverted, and petticoats tucked up with the most unhesitating energy, while, by one of those extraordinary examples of the law of supply and demand, umbrellas of every siz3 and quality sprang up in forest-like abundance. Of cabs and omnibuses there was, as there always is on such oc casions, a dreadful deficiency, so that a large propor tion of the people had to trudge, under the pelting rain, and ankle-deep in mud, on their way homewards COURT CIRCULAR. The Oxford University Commission had a meeting yesterday, at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street. Present—The Bishop of Norwich, the Dean of Carlisle, the Master of Pembroke, the Rev. it G. Liddell, J. L. Dam pier, Esq., the Rev. Professor Powell, the Rev. G. H. S. Johnson, and the Rev. A. P. Stanley (Secretary). Dispatches were sent off yesterday from the Colonial Office to the Governors of the West India Islands. COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening last an accident occurre I at Nevell Colliery, near Osmondthorpe, in the borough of Leads, by which one man lost his life and another was so severely iejured that he is not expected to re cover. The colliery belonged to Mr. Farrell, and had been recently sunk. It was about seventy- five yards deep, and the works were so far completed that the bed of coal was ex pected to be worked in the course of a few doys. A man of the name of Hopton, who had for a considerable time acted as the steward at the colliery, having control of the works both above and below, went into the pit along with a black smith, to affix a pipe to convey some water to some part of the works. As these two men were in the act of ascending the shaft of the pit in a sleep suspended by a rope worked across a drum by a steam-engine, th 3 rope broke, and th ey fell to the bottom, a distance of from forty to fifty yards. Assistance was rendered as quickly as possible, and the bo dies of the two unfortunate men were brought to the bank, but death in the course of an hour afterwards put an end to the sufferings of Hopton, and the other man lies in a very precarious state. Hopton, who was a very steady man, has left a wife and six or seven children. There are different rumours as to the cause of the accident. One is that the rope slipped from the end of the drum, for want of an edge to keep it in its place, and, coming in contact with the spindle on which the drum revolved, was shifted until it broke. Another is, that the rope was an old one and needed repair. The coroner's inquest on the body of the deceased stands adjourned from Monday to Thursday next, in order that a Government inspector of coal mines may have au op portunity to be in attendance. A PRECEDENT FOIL DIVIDING THE CHANCELLOR snip.—The Literary Gazette, in reviewing " The Judges of England," by Edward Foss, says, " The most curious inci dent connected with the law in the reign of Edward IV. was the existence of two chancellors acting at the same time for many weeks, both recognized by royal authority. Oa the strength of this precedent, Mr. Foss throws out the suggestion In the question which at present perplexes lawyers as well as Ministers of State, as to the most ex pedient division of the laborious duties now devolving on the keepers of the Seal, who can tell whether this discovery of an ancient authority may not suggest the division of the title between two possessors, in the same manner that two chief justices were formerly substituted for one chief juAi ciary ?' " Mx. Hums, M.P., IN THE HIGHLANDS.—After delivering himself of his well known "financial and poli tical statement" to the electors of the Angus burghs, the veteran Member for Montrose proceeded along the east coast of Scotland, and the shores of the Moray Firth, as far as Redcastle, the picturesque seat of Mr. Henry Baillie, the Member for the county of Inverness, where, together with Miss Hume, he remained for a few days, and then returned south. Redcastle being within a very short distance of Inverness the town authorities took advantage of Mr. Hume's proximity to request his acceptance of the freedom of the burgh. The proposition was most favourably enter tained, and the ceremony took place on Saturday last, the 27th ult. The concourse of people was very cons id era b le, and " the youngest burgess " would seem t o h ave b een much gratified. He spoke for upwards of an hour and a hilt The main subject of the speech was Mr. Hume's own career in Parliament, principally since the passing of the Reform Bill. Tupics of interest in past times naturally mixed themselves with the narrative. the probable merits and demerits of the proposed new Reform Bill were canvassed at considerable length, and the discourse was concluded with the usual hope that the day was not far distant when Eng. land could boast of triennial Parliaments, vote by ballot, reduced expenditure, and reduced taxation, &c. It is some. w h a t singular that the honour of being made a free burgess of Inverness should have fallen to the lot of Mr. Hume, since only two years ago, when the late Sir Robert Peel lived for about six weeks in the immediate neighbourhood, no further notice was taken of the lamented statesman than requesting him to lay the foundation-atone of a Jacobite memorial to the rebels who fell at the battle of Culloden. ----- THE LONDON Passs.—ln a speech delivered at the dinner recently given at " the Cashel Banquet," the Very Rev. Dean Burke thus complimented sundry of the metropolitan journals, who must, of course, acutely feel the castigation of the refined divine:—" The Times, the Morning Post, the Morning Hcra:d, the Morning Adrertiser, the Evening Sun, the Weekly Examiner, and a host of minor journals are so many sluices that unceasingly pour forth from the great and unfathomable reservoir of English bigotry and anti-Catholic hate, all their filth and feculence against us ; but whilst neir dirty discharges prove the depth and fetidness of the source from which they flow, they cannot reach or ' befoul their intended objects,_ I mean the Catholic clergy." —( Great groaning for the English bigots.) And again : —" We are denounced by the base and venal English press, and represented to the English people as fiery agita tors, as noisy incendiaries, as man whose very existence is incompatible with the peace of the country or even with the rights of property in it."—(Groans for the lying London Press.) Lord help us! THE SUN, LONIIOM, N 1) I A. We have' Ze calved via Marseilles our letters and papers by tNit overland mail. A telegraphic sum mary, via a'rieste, of tho intelligence brought by. this arrival appeared in our columns a day or two ago. The following is the letter of our correspondent at Bombay, dated September 1: " Ghoiab Sin,gh has succeeded in putting down the insurgent hill t e ibes in the north of his dominions. He has commuinicated his succo2s to the English au thorities, who have duly con gratuleted him on the occasion. The report of Dbost Mahomed's death appears to Irave been without foundation. That Prince still seams actively engaged in endeavours to enlarge hi 3 dominions. He has taken acivinitage of the death of Year Mahomed Khan of Herat (which took place on the 4th of June) to send his son Hyder Khan with a large army to invade Herat by the Bulk-hill route. It is considered likely that the young Khan will ask for, and probably obtain, the aid of Persia in repelling the invasion, " The entire course of the Indus and its tributa ries has been visited by heavy rains and unprece dented floods ; the latter have swept away some hun dreds of villages, and occasioned much destruction of life and property. In Sinde—generally a rainless climate—more rain has fallen in the last 20 days than is supposed to have fallen during the whole of the 20 years previous. In Kurrachee most of the barracks and officers' houses were either fallen down or unsafe, and the troops were living in tents. " Major-General Batinc, a veteran of 47 years' standing, commanding the cis-Jhelum division, died at Lahore on the 21st of July. " The Commander-in-Chief's camp is to form at I3uddee on the 3d of November, whence it will pro ceed by way of Rupur towards Peshawur. The Go aernor-General's camp is to be formed at Umballa on the 15th of October; his Lordship will then proceed leisurely by Kalka, Saharunpoor, Deyra Dhoon, Bareilly, Nainee Tal, and Almorah, and thence towards Calcutta. It is hoped that in passing be will find time to visit the King of Oude's dominions, which are in nearly as disturbed a state as those of the Nizam. The levelling to the ground of the innu merable mud forts dispersed throughout the country is most urgently to be desired. " The Hon. Mr. D. Bethune, law commissioner at Calcutta, is dead. It is supposed that he will be suc ceeded by Sir Erskine Perry, Chief Justice of Bom bay, should the latter be disposed to accept of the appointment. " The Bengal Railway Company have advertised ,`'or tenders for the construction of the second section o f their line, viz., from Pandova to Raneegunge, which will complete the experimental undertaking upon which the expenditure of a million sterling was sanctioned by the Court of Directors. An extended survey of the country beyond Burdwan is in con templation, with the view of settling the question as to the ultimate direction of the line. The site for the terminus at Howvah has been decided on. It be longed to Captain Oakes, from whom the Company have purchased it for about 70,000 rupees, and is situated close to the Howvah Ghent. In Bombay contracts have been let for the line from Boree- Bander to a place called Persid Point, on the other side of the Tannawater. About 10 miles remain to be contracted for to complete the experimental line sanctioned by the East India Company. A survey of the proposed extension lines will be undertaken next cold season, unless Government withholds its sanction. "The Nizam's dominions are in their usual state of anarchy. A body of seine hundreds of Rohillas have lately been committing depredations near Nun droag. A force under Brigadier Mayne has, however, been sent against them. The Arab mercenaries, alarmed at the Governor-General's recommendation for their extradition, are collecting from all quarters • at Hyderabad, to watch the course of events, mean while they are on their good behaviour, and are con . ducting themselves in an unusually orderly manner. Sooraj-001-Moolk's arrangements for putting off the rainy day by borrowing money at ruinous terms on assignments of revenue for the payment of the debt seem to have been attended with more success than any of the similar schemes of his predecessors. He has already lodged with the Resident bills for nearly half the amount of the debt, and promises to pay the ba lance by October. The diversion of so large a sum from the usual purposes of Government can only have the effect of still further crippling the Nizem's finances, and commensurately increasing every species of disorder to which their present disorganized state has given rise. "Ensign Scott, of the 48th Madras Native In fantry, has perished, together with about twenty coolies, by the wreck of the ship Randolph, from Ma dras with coolies for the Mauritius. " During the past month considerable excitement has prevailed throughout the Bombay Presidency regarding the contemplated dispatch of an expedi tionary force to tha Red Sea, for the purpose of chas tising the Arabian tribes, who are openly protecting the murderers of Captein Milne and other British subjects. Orders had been received from the Court of Directors to demand and, if necessary, to enforce the surrender 'of the murderers, who had left the ter ritories of their sovereigns, the Sultans of Laledge and other chiefs of the Abdallee, and had taken re fuge with C oe more distant Jouthelee tribe, v. hick had openly protected them. At first negotiations ap peared to hold out no chance of success, and the aspect of affairs seemed very warlike. Troops were warned for service, and the Governor and the Commander in -Chief, at the height of the Poona seesoa, left the Decc.an for Boinbay, where they still remain ; but it has now been decided in any case to do nothing till the season epees. " By the last advices from Aden the political agent was still engaged in pursuing his negotiations with the tribes iu the interior, and his prospects of success were more promising than before. The great object in view is to persuade the chiefs of the Jouthelee to deliver up the murderer of Captain Milne, who has taken refuge with that tribe, and been openly and avowedly protected in their territory, to the chiefs of the Abdailee, his lawful sovereign, in order that jus tice may be done upon him according to his own laws. With this demand the Jouthelee has declared himself willing to comply, but the delivering up of a guest is so repugnant to Arab principles, that direct compli ance is hardly to be expected. More probably the chiefs will artfully place the assassin within the reach of the Abdallee, and if the latter fail to take advan tage of the opportunity to seize the culprit, then the former will avow himself free from the responsibility, and the onus will be shifted to the other. " In this state of affairs, the Government cannot finally determine on its course. If the Jouthelee chief assumes an hostile attitude, an expeditionary force will be immediately organised and transported to Arabia as soon as the season will permit, but if the Jouthelee be exonerated from participation in the t w )r i e t it n ect t i h o e n of A surroundhave only Aden, to deal and their chief, the Sultan of Laledge, then reinforcements b ti d le s.tie ss e as t s r i i n b ' e a n n,d hic w h e to the garrison only will be required, and our opera tions will be vastly simplified. " In the event of Captain Hay i lies' negotiations successful, justice will be done upon the mur derers of Captain Lillie and of the European seamen, and the whole matter will be brought to a peaceful termination. " Errors to a considerable amount have been disco vered in the accounts of the Bengal Medical Fund with Government. Similar errors in the books of the Government Savings. bank at Bombay have occasioned the dismissal of nearly all its employes. Frauds to the extent of 70,0001. (nearly seven Ines of rupees) have been discovered in the opium agent's department at Bombay, and there are numerous similar abuses in other departments. Discoveries of this nature are becoming painfully frequent. The evil is in most cases due to the dishonesty of subordinates only. I am aware of no case in which the head of an office has ever been suspected of anything worse than a want of efficient supervision, and in many cases such absence of effectual supervision is rather the fault of the system than of the individual. The frequent changes of office incidental to a seniority system of promotion, in which a single vacancy may change the heads of half-a-dozen offices just when those who held them were becoming acquainted with their duties ; the complicated method in which the accounts of most departments have been hitherto kept, assisted in some measure perhaps by the relaxing effect of the climate on European constitutions, all conduce to place the great, majority of Anglo-India officials in the hands of the native or uncovenanted assistant, who ' is a fixture at the heed of their office establishment to an extent unprecedented in England and most de trimental to the interests of the public service. It is a common remark, which probably would not have heen applicable to the Indian service forty years ago, that whil e th e E ng li s h gent l emen at the heads of sdm i n housesna d fr k t the heepi rpa w nl e o de a r s t l a d tbo l t i h ta h a h than becom ingnot nt ff i ,h2 n c e w e tr s wea a a ir sl i eet e h,uyts g num e ea n ler e l ny r a .at buying u ?

(From the Enyli+hman of August 19.) Since our issue of 10,,t mail our export market has exhibited but little change, business continuing to be carried on, without spirit, to a moderate extent, and with that reserve which the unsatisfactory complexion of mercantile home affairs, couplal with th e i ncreas i ng stocks of some leading staple in our bazaar, fully jus tify; and although we cannot report any general decline in prices, we have to state that the readiness to meet offers on the most moderate previous value imparts to them a want of buoyancy verging on a downward ten dency. The import naarliet has, during the last week, been in a wry unsatisfactory state, owing to the occurrence of some failures among native dealers of repute. These unfortunate mishaps have created a feeling of consider- SPOR TIN G INTELLIGEN CE. EinING. W EDNESDAY, F, h, pounds, for tbr,:o 51b; four, Sib; five, 86t 131 b; and agtd, 9t. D.I.

Har binger, one of the larger screw steana-vesselisi. a heavy placed on the Caps line, was tried down th ; e it ier yester day. The weather was moat unpropitious; the blew Harbinger gale from the southward and westward, proved herself to be an excellent sea boat. she under sail, and the screw worked easily without was stiff a appa rent vibration. The fittings of the vessel are of the i m°s perfect description, and do great credit to those who hav e t planned and carried into execution the wishes of the direc tors. It will be in the rec)llection of our professional readers that the Harbinger formerly figured in our Navy List under the name of the Recruit, but no one under the present ma nagement would have recognised her to be the same vessel. The Harbinger ran the measured mile in the Lower H ope against a strong tide, with her fore and att sails set, at the rate of eight and a half knots per boor. and on her return, with a head-wind, she made nearly eleven knots. We can_ not give too much praise to Messrs. blare and Co., Captain Ford, and the gentlemen who have assisted in the fitting out of this vessel. The arrangements for passengers are perfect, and we congratulate the proprietors of the Screw Steam Na vigation Company in possessing so flower ul an auxiliary as the Harbinger is likely to prove to their interests. The Harbinger is appointed to sail with passengers and the Cape mails from Plymoth on the 15th inst.—Morning Paper. CHARING CROSS HIMPITAL.—The session of the medical school of this hospital for 1851-2 commenced yes terday, when Mr. Edwin Canton delivered an introductory address to the pupils, pointing out in forcible language the advantages to be derived from the study of medicine and surgery, fessors;a a n n d, and attending ahoveoli, to the lectu es of the various pro toeffitheeleocoli3 i n,icahltphreairctpicroefeoefeitohne. hos pital, pital, in or d er to obtain address was very numerously attended, and was listened to with thq most marked attention by the pupils present.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY...—The United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, took her departure from the Mersey at half -past one, with the mails for the United States and Canada, and 151 passengers. Dn. NEWMAN'S VIEIT TO IRELAND.—Dr. New man, of the Oratory, is to visit Ireland for the purpose of delivering a course of lectures on the intended Catholic Uni versity.

The deliveries of metals have been on the usual mode- Late scale which has obtained of late, with, if anything. a very trifling improvement in copper. Nu sales of spelter are reported. Fur particulars we refer to our de. tailed report below. The unforturate occurronces referred to in the bczsar havo had the effect o•i Fending up exchanges by checking coliectioas and suspending the delivery of goods. It was expected that the large•loss of bills by the Pacha (about five hies) and the reserve aaBrved by exporters of country produce would have improved rates; but these intim:nets have been more than counteracted by the disturbed state, of the import market, and rates have crept up to 2-1 to 2i, with few buyers, and those few on the resolve. Freights have receded 5-0 to 7-6 per ton, clo.sing again stiffer. N A.VAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, SE r. 26.—The Merlin titeAtil 3 Cl:et, Lieutenant-Commander Turner, with the Bornb.,y mails, arrived f rom Al exan d r i a at even th is day. The mails have been transferred to her Majesty's steamer Caradoc, leaving at there r ra., for conveyance to Marseilles. The Oberon steam-packet, arrived from the squa dron on the 22d inst. She left Palma on the 18th; and it was then intended by Admiral Sir W. Parker, Bart., for the ships to prcceed to Barcelona, where the Trafalgar, 120, Captain Greville, was waiting, and after to Roses. The ships have been trying their sailing qualities, and the result of the first trial was that, steering west, Ganges beat Albion, from eight to half-past eleven o'clock, 1,920 yards; Superb, 1,430 yards; and In defatigable, 590 yards. The Queen did not try her rate of sailing. Second Trial—On a wind, fiom two to five p.m., Ganges beat Albion 1,203 yards; Superb, 1,374 yards ; and Indefatigable, 1,213 yards. Major Johns, It.M., of Ganges, has invalided, and leaves for England by Caradoc. It is reported that her Majesty's ship Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord E. Russell, and Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Captain Gordon, have been ordered direct to Alexandria, in advance. Phaeton, 50, Captain G. Elliot, lefc Malta, for the squadron on the 24th, taking Commander Fellows to replace Commander Boyd, of the Superb, superseded at his own request. Our prospects respecting the orange crop this season are very gloomy, and it is feared that through out the country there will not be one-tenth of the crop of last season. The talked of abolition of quarantine upon arrivals from ports in the Levant, when furnished with clean bills of health, will greatly benefit the island. The steam paper-mills of Messrs. Tonna were set work on the 24th inst., having first received the be nediction of the Catholic bishop. The Hon. H. Lushington, chief secretary to Go vernment, was amongst the passengers, per llelle spout, to Italy on the 223 inst. His absence will not extend over three weeks, and is absolutely necessary for the recovery of his health. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Tagus arrived from the Levant on the 21st inst., and left eight hours after for England, the Jupiter last evening, and leaves to-day. The Government steam-ship Medusa, from the lonian Islands, arrived at Malta on the 22d inst. The new Navy List, by authority, published yester day, brings Captain Furneax (1829) within the se nior list of captains, and Sir Baldwin W. Walker, K.C.8., within the second senior list. OBlTUARY.—Officers whose deaths have been offi cially reported since July 20, 1851 : Flag Officers—Admiral Sir Henry Heathcote, Knt., 1848; Rear-Admiral Lord John Hay, C. 8., 1851 ; Retired Rear-Admiral Samuel Leslie, 1846. Captains—Samuel Burgess, 1830; William B. Greene, 1834; Edward Hutchinson, 1840; George Truscott, 1845 ; John Fisher, 1851; Abel W.Thoraas, 1851. Commanders—(x) Thomas Crawley, 1814; (y) Saundereon Allen, 1845; (y) Edward Luscombe, 1851. Our money market continues unaltered in bank rates, but the failures among the piece goods (leviers have caused much uneasiness and some pressure in the bazaar. Government securities have slightly declined, and in shares hardly any b us i ness has Leen transacted. Indigo, since l ast ma il , h as rema i ned w i thout any traesactiou, and the reports from the manufacturing dis tricts contieued as varied as ever—in some instances less satieiactory than before; a leading and not unimportant feature in that directive being tee excessive heavy fall of ruin repo! ted from Agra, which has already done much injury t o th e young plant, there b y mater i al l y altering pr ev i ous prospects of the out-tarn in the Dente and leaving littl e room f or the but lately enterta i ned hope that its production would be considerably in excess of that of th e p rev i ous season. Under these circum ataces we incline to the opinion that a more than rea sonably to be expected combination of future most fa vourable influences will be required to produce a total crop of 100,000 ends. BOMBAY MARKETS. FEO3I THE 26TH OF JULY TO THE 30TH OF AUGUST INCLUSIVE. (From the Bombay Times.) The money market continues most plentifully sup plied—in fact cash has become quite a drug, and since we lust wrote the banks have lowered their rates another 1 per cent. Government securities are somewhat lower, owing to speculators having been in the market as sellers. The following may be called current rates.—Transfer stock, 1153 nominal five per cent. Siam% paper, 107 ie four per cent. Sicca paper, 96; four per cent. Company's paper, 91 ; five per c e nt. C ompany ' s paper, 104 to 104 7 1. Bank shares have been in some demand, and the rates of the day are bank of Bombay, 23 per cent. pre mium ; Oriental Bank, 7 per cert. discount ; Commer cial Bank, 11 per cent. discount ; Agra Bank, par. • Since our last report the London mails of the 7th and 24th ult. reached Bombay respectively on the let and 23d inst ; and the following vessels from the west have reached us, viz : —from London, the theeTiarba,faclgbaiurarßdußreau jasthan ; fro m Liverpool, Dorcas, of Renfrew, T em pl ar , Nel l, and R John Bull ; and from the Clyde, Ontario, and Alierton. In imports a large business has been done, supplies having arrived in quantity and been offsred freely. On tae other hand transactions in exports have been limited; in cotton, however, our chief staple, more has been doing latterly, shippers to China having Leen induced to come forward in consequence of a fail in prices. Money is abundant, and ratty be had at alow rate on ap proved security. Cotton Piece Goode—The business done is these has been large and pretty general. A decline in price has beea occasioned in almost all descriptions by the liberal way in which the gcceis have been of fered. Prices have for the last few days been most fluctuating, the large arrivals and anxiety to rea lize displayed on she part of imparters having alarmed the dealers, there being no outlet for goods yet, and tho bazaar quite gorged, so that at present the market is dull antidepressed in consequence of the dis inclination shown to continue purchasing. As the mon- soon has been most favourable throughout the whole of Western India, large quantities of goods will doubtless be consumed, more especially at the low prices which are now current; we, therefore, have some encouragement to look forward to renewed demand, but the large supply now in the market forbids us to expect any improvement in price. Grey shirtings-40 and 45 inch of all qualities we quote something lower than in our last. The sales of all kinds reported are 35,550 pieces. Madapollams have likeelse declined in price 1 to 2 annas per piece, and have been taken largely, but are now unasked for. Sales, 58,000 pieces. Jacconets have also been disposed of to the extent of 39,000 pieces, and have dteined in price. T cloths, up to 61b., are in great quantity, and have fallen 2 wanes a piece, but heavier qualities are quoted as in our last. Longcloths and domestics—The season not yet having opened, these goods have been very hula asked for; fur the longcioths there has been some little inquiry at a de cline of 2 annas per piece. Bleached Goods—Shirtings and madapollams are hardly asked for, nor are jacoonets, except the medium qualities which are in request. Twill has not yet met with any demand. Satin spots are inquired after, as are also jucconet checks. Sales quoted are 35,000 pieces of madapollams, 10,000 pieces of jacconets, 2,500 pieces t f twills, and 8,600 pieces of satin sputa. Fancy Goods—Some detcriptiues are inquired after, such as flue bld. mulls, low lappets, fancy border dhoties, and lappet scarf.; while Sails lappets and book 'flushes are not in request. Plain twill cloths and dyed turk e y red are still dull without change in price; mulls, however, meet with some inquiry. Cotton Yarn —Prices have undergone little change. Both mule end water have met with large sales. Tue only dcclin-e we observe in mule is in 303, 60s, and 803 , while 40s, 90t, and 100 have risen in price.

Briggs, G.C.M.G, hoisted his flag (blue at the main) on board the Victory at nine o'clock this morning, when it was saluted by the Britannia, 120, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C. 8., second in command, with 17 guns, which the Victory returned with 11. Sir Thomas's flag was also saluted by the Lieutenant-Governor from the Platform Battery, with 17, which was acknowledged by a similar number. The ships and vessels on the station at the same time changed their pennants and ensigns from red (the squadron to which the late Commander-in-Chief belonged) to blue, and Sir Thomas Briggs's command-in-chief here commenced therefrom. The Sutlej Indiaman arrived at Spithead to-day from the Thames. WooLwlca, OCT. I.—The Anna Maria female con vict ship, in charge of Surgeon-Superintendent M'Crea, at present lying off the Royal Arsenal, has taken on board about 200 female convicts, several of whom have their children with them, for conveyance to Hobart Town. The majority of the convicts are of Irish extraction, and mostly from Liverpool. There are two, however, cn board, each under senttcca of fourteen years' transportation, in conse quence of articles being found in their posses sion which they had received from the male associates of the Uckfield gang. A boy, the offspring of one of these women, was put on board yesterday to cccom pany his mother to Hobart Town. The child was born in gaol, and is now upwards of two years of age, and has been well taken care of in ono of the workhouses in East Kent since April last. The Lady Franklin and Sophia, recently paid off at this port by Captain Penny, on his return from the Arctic Regions, are ordered to be taken to Chat ham, where they will he laid up for the winter. The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master-Commander Petley, left Woolwich on Monday, and proceeded round to Chatham, where the Right Hon. Sir Francis T. Baring, Bart. (First Lord of the Admiralty), Rear- Admiral F. M. Berkeley, C. 8., Rear-Admiral Hous ton Stewart, C. 8., and Captain Alexander Milne (Lords of the Admiralty), Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.B. (Surveyor of the Navy), and Colonel Greene (Director of Architectural and Engineers' Works), embarked in her, having arrived at Chatham yesterday morning, via the North Rent Railway. The Black Eagle conveyed their Lordships down the Medway, on an official visit to Sheerness, and returned to the terminus of the North Kent Railway, at Strood, in the evening, and by railway to town.

The position selected is that fami liar to the public, when Sir Robert is supposed to be addressing the House of Commons, and exhibits a dignified simplicity combined with an easy grace and elegance, for which the original was peculiarly distinguished. As a work of art, it perh a p s surpasses any previous production front the studio o f the same sculptor. Nothwithstanding its large dimensions, it i s i n every respect lice-like and true to nature. Bat th e art i st has had to labour under cne disadvantage; and that is b y t h e necess i ty of an adherence to modern costume. which renders stiffness to some extent unavoidable. The model is to ba cast in bronze, and when elevated on a suitable pedestal will have a fine and imposing effect. Mr. Behnes is also to be en trusted with the important task of executing the statue Of Sir Robert intended to be erected in the City. iTHICTIISPAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1851. THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGHS IN CORPORATION ASSOCIATION. TO TILE .EDITOR OF TUE SUN'. Sru,—Tne necessary arrange:mints are nearly corn plete for the formation and efficient working of an extensive and influential association, having for its ot - ject the immediate incorporation, under distinct charters or' acts, as may be necessary, as well of the different metropolitan boroughs already returning Members to Parliament, as also of the populous and wealthy district, comprising Kensington, Chelsea, &c., et present so inadequately represented. The founders of this association venture to hope that your powerful assistance, and that of the press generally, will be rendered towards the carrying out of this most important measure ; without which it is impossible to obtain any definite or available expres sion of the public opinion of the metropolis upon any given subject, municipal, local, or political, or to create any unit e d pu bli c act i on based upon that opinion. The creation of these municipal corporations will, moreover, furnish a simple and complete solution of the vexata qu(Estio of Government interference in matters of purely municipal interest, such as the water supply, sewerage, &c., the control of which, by the ratepayers of the metropolis, is rendered difficult, if not impossible, under the d e f ect i ve and anomalous organization f the existing multitudinous parochial vestries and boards. You will al:4), I think, Sir, agree with me that it will be no slight recommenda tion of the proposed measure that it will obviate the future possibility of the existing City corporation being again mistaken for the representatives of the metropolis of this vast empire. It is intended to hold a preliminary meeting next week of such parties as may be willing or desirous to aid this movement, as well for the purpose of collect ing necessary statistical and other information, relat ing to the several districts proposed to be incorporated, as al3o of organizing the nuclei of th e general and dis trict committees. Such gentlemen as may intimate to me by letter their desire to attend will receive no tice of the time and the place of the meeting. I am, Sir, &c., N. EDWARDS, Hon. Sec. 6, Francis-place, Westminster, October Ist, 1851. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

TWA' NEW CHANCERY APFCHNTMENTS.—Yesterday or, according to the words of the Act, " from and after the Ist of October," the powers of the Lord Chancellor vested in the Court of Appeal. Although her Majesty was em- I powered to appoint two persons on the passing of the Act to the office of "Lords Justices," no appointment has been officially announced. It is, however, reported that Lord Cranworth and Sir James K n i g h t B ruce ( wit h a title) have been appointed. They have, however, not been sworn in, and the delay, it is believed, h as occurred in consequence of the Vice-Chancellorship. It is understood that neither the Solicitor-General nor Mr. Bethell will accept the Vice- Chancellorship, and the appointment, it is expected, will either be given to Mr. Swanston, a very able equity lawyer, or to one of the Masters in Chancery. If to the latter, then another vacancy of 2,5004 a-year will occur. By the Act the Lords Justices must be sworn in before the Lord Chan cellor or the Master of the Rolls. ALLEGED MURDER. -012 Tuesday night Mr. Payne held au inquest on the body of Ann Sarah Parker, whose husband was on Monday charged at the Worship -street Police -court with causing her death by violence. The evi dence of the surgeon was heard in addition to that of some other witnesses, after which the jury returned as their ver dict that " Death was caused by effusion of blood on tho brain, but whether such effusion was produced by her hus band's assault there is no evidence to show." A melancholy accident occurred at St. Just West, Penzance, on Sunday last. A party had been out shooting., and had returned, when, as one of them, named Thomas Wembath, who was trying to draw the charge from his gun, by some means the gun went off, and the whole charge en tered his mouth, and blew his head to atoms. Ile was soon placed on a plank and carried to his home, about a mile distant, where he had in the morning left a wife and three children. Kiss's "AMAZON." —Mr. Digby Wyatt, in writing on this work of genius, says that in it " the boldest concep tion and treatment of a grand idea are tempered by an ex quisite appreciation of beauty and refinement of execution," and that it is probably the noblest work of art now existing in which man has displayed the mastery his intelligence has enabled him to gain over the " stubborn metals."

B - I.OOMERISM IN LivEnrooL.—The new style of female dress, known as Bloomerism, has extended to this town. On Wednesday a young lady, arrayed in the new costume, was seen walking from Lime 'street, through Wil liamson-square, to the foot of Bold-street, where our in formant gave up the pursuit. She Wore a puce-coloured tunic, of some silken material, reaching to the knee, with Turkish inexpressibles. She was accompanied by a female friend, in the ordinary costume. They of course attracted a good deal of observation, but no insult or annoyance wets offered by any one.—Liverpool AZircury. 4 SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMF,S.—The love of order and the obedience to lawful authority for which the pcople of England have ;men s o recently complimented by the Secretery of State for Foreign Affsirs never shone cut with greater lustre than during the sicgular, and, we are happy to say, unprecedented scenes which have been passing at Liverpool during the last few days. We can imagine nothing more irritating, mosie calene lated to rouse and in some degree to extenuate re sistance to lawful authority, than the course of ecn duet which, for causes hitherto u nex pl a i ne d, th oug h only too easily surmised, has been adopted by the Judge of the Lancashire County Court. Placed there contrary to the wishes of the gre a t ma j or i ty o f t h ou. among whom he was to administer j ust i ce, from his connexion as the son of a land agent of an aristocra tic family, the new judge had, doubtl ess , much ori ginal prejudice to surmount, It was felt, and with considerable justice, that so important a situation in the second city of the empire ought to be the reward of distinguished merit, and not of mere personal clai m s. R ea cura bl e as this feel ing was, it is probable that a little tact and good sense on the part o f th e j u d ge would .t; ite buta short time have succeeded i n remov i ng l far from this being attempted. a course of conduct o s was pursued which completely obliterated the re membrence of the original app o intment in discontent at the manner in which the business of the court was conducted and the sort of treatme n t t o w h ic h liti gants and witnesses were constantly subjected. Then followed an investigation, in which Mr.Rarnshsy was acquitted of charges of w hich the publ ic opinion of the town con s id ere d hi m gu il ty , an d readmitted to the exercise of his offi ce . A s if thi s were no t enoug h to irri tate the p u bli c m i n d , h e per f orms a sort of ovation over his defeat e d an t sgon i sts, and w hil e loading them with intention of most unmeasure d a b use announced h is of opening a regular campaign against the press. irritation fresh is with th ese pre li m i nary causes o f fresh on their minds that the public are called upon to witness the carrying into execution of threats uttered a week beforehand. The style of the examination which the judge addressed to his ow . us witness has prob a bly not been paralleled since tue memorable interrogation of Donne by Chief Justice Jefferies at the trial of Lady Alice Lisle. Judge--" Was his hand doubled ?" Witness— " Yes." Judge s --" Then, you ass, don't you know that fist ? that is what it is called le all you ought to know that." Next to the stu pidity of the witness, nothing seems to have annoyed Mr. R . amshay so muc h as the name of the indoor superintendent of the police, Mr. Clough, which ap peeps to have had somewhat o f th e same effect on the Judicial mind as the exhibition of a piece of red cloth to a bull. "I d o not care who he is, or how big or how low his name may be ; b u t as sure as h e i s a living man I wi▪ ll bring hi m before me. " The whole offenceimputed to Mr. Clough, in addition to his name —which perhaps can hardly be considered as a fault— was his remark to the bailiffs that th ey could nett arrest Mr. Whi▪ tty without a warrant —an extremely sound opinion in point of law, and scarcely, we,ap prehend, amounting to a contempt of court. Belt the astonishment and iedignation of the audience reached its climax when the judge, grinding Lis teeth .with rage, stated that Mr. Whitty had been guilty of a crime against the Act of P ar li ament; that he looked like a man in whose eyes and in whose face the worst passions of our nature were delineated ;" a n d a ft er ha vin g imposed fines under every illegal pretence conceivable, wound up i with a declarati on th a t, w h e th er h e should ropos.a any more, or not, at that moment he could not say. Two of the bystanders were also fined five pounds eech for giving vent to their feelings by appleudirig the sentiments of the advocate of the prisoner-3 li cense which, though always repressed by Courts, bus never, that we a re aware o f , b efore been visited with a fine. We have mentioned these things not with a view of making out a strong case against Mr. Ram. shay, an effort perfectly superfluous, especially as we do not, notwithstanding the threat which preceded by some days these outrageous eroceedings, believe the judge to be in a state of mind which would jus tify us in treating him as responsible for his actions, but in order to show the amount of pro vocation which will be patiently submitted to in England rather than do violence to that strong national instinct which impels us to submit to lawful authority even when most scandalously anti notoriously abused. Mr. Whitty was sent off by the railway, to undergo a term of imprisonment for four or five offences, of all of which everybody knew he was perfectly innocent, in the presence of a crowd indignant at the insults he had sustained and the barefaced and cruel injustice of which he was for the time the victim. Yet, inasmuch u these things were done in the name of the law and sanctioned by the warrant of a judge, the large multitude present at the departure of the prisoner contented themselves with expressions of sympathy, and made no effort whatever to interfere with the execution of the sentence. The reason of this extraordinary forbearance is, no doubt, to be found in the cause to which Lord Palmerston attributes it. The people of Liverpool know well that whatever excesses may he committed for a moment, there is no leer that their perpetrator will find any sympathy from any officer of the Go vernineWn They feel the utmost confidence that so soon as this extraordienry outhreek shall be known not a moment will be lost in setting the prisoner at liberty, and removing from his dike the judge who has thus abused the power with which he is invested. Were it not for this entire confidence of instant jus tice and redress, it would hardly have been in human nature to have stood by and witnessed the perpe tration of so monstrous a violation of individual liberty. But the people have no occasion to do that irregularity by their own hands which they know that their Government A ready and willing to do for them. It is with some disappointment that we find that a single day has been allowed to elapse without taking measures to put an end to a state of things at once so dangerous and so discredit able. The Earl of Carlisle is, we observe, in at tendance on ber Majesty at Balmoral, and as for the rest of the Cabinet they are we know not where. The extremely agreeable and exhilarating plan adopted by the present Governmok of leaving the affairs of this great country to take care of themselves during the reoess of Parliament is not without its inconveni ences and dangers. A flagrant outrage on private liberty is committed, an d t h e Minister to whom the protection of that liberty i s i ntrusted is not at his post. A judge runs riot, end the only person who has the power of stopping him is not to be got at. No doubt it is highly complimentary to the spirit of order of the English people that d ur i ng a part of the y ear th e i r affairs should' be left to ad minister themselves ; but there are casets--;and the present is one o f them—to which this conve nient mode of go vern i ng does not apply. The practice is, howe ver , so p l easant that it is - sure to be persevered in till it s f olly and rashness are satisfactorily illustrated by some heavy disaster. We do not regard the occurrences to which we have been calling attention as reflecting any de gree of discredit on the administration of jus 'e i a in the C oun t y C ourts, or as evincing any seri defect in th e l aw . Af ter legislative wisdom as done all it can , muc h must still be left tb the work tts ing of individual discretion anT of that most deli cate and easily disorganised instrument, the human mind. Did the County Courts Act, indeed, confer the powers claimed by Mr. R ause b ay on the' judges, there would be great r eason to complain of the negligence with which th e L egislature had guarded our liberties ; but as t h ese powers are mere as sumptions and mere imaginations, we can blame no one for their exercise except the judge himself. It is quite necessary that the judge should be pro tected in the execut i on of his office, and it is not the fault of the Legislature if a gentleman should be found with a mind so unhappily constituted as to convert this necessary power into a general claim to fine and imprison his fellow citizens at his will and pleasure.
