ER MAJESTY'S TtIEkTR E. THE GRAND NATIONAL CONCERTS. The Executive Committee, Direetors, and Managers of "The Grand National Concerts" the honour to, announce that the FIRST SERIES will commence on Tcosnir, the 15th of October next. • In laying before the m usical world and the pubic in general the principal arrangntents that have been entered into for the carrying out this great national requirement. the Committee trust to prove that thee have spared neither expense nor exertion in endeavouring to form a union of talent never hitherto witnessed in any country. Their constant aim will be to present an intellectual entertainment of the highest order, embracing the greatest works of the greatest masters, illustrated by Ice most eminent artistes in Europe, n and that at the cheap es t possible rate consistent with pr dence to themselves and justice towards those whose interests they have mainly in view. Every effort has been used to render the selection of artistes wholly free from all undue partiality to country or individual ; and first-rate excellence being the only passport to au engagement at these Concerts, it is contideroly believed that the most splendid available talent will thus be brought together—a con summation next to impossible when the arrangements are confided to one person, more or less fettered by nat onal pre* lice,connexion, or interest. A similar Independence will also characterise the choice of works to be produced. No exclusive preference will be given to any particular school or nation The monumental produc tions of Germany. Italy, France, and England, ancient and modern, will be presented in succession. On certain . evenings during the series, the . oncert will be placed under one national head, and the entire performances will consist of works by the most celebrated composers of one of the above four music 1 nation.. It is also in con templation to devote several evenings to the exclusive performance of Sacred Music, particulars of which will be duly announced. The usual Evening Programme will he a varied Programme—such as to meet, as far as possible. the wishes awl tastes of all, and thu . gratify the lovers of the higher class of music, as well as those who may prefer a lighter school. A highly-important and distinctive feature ih this undertaking, and one which the Committee are most anxious should be in every way worthy the sarivirt both of English artiste. and English audiences, will be the introduction of original ino.rumental and lyrical works., by native composers, to whom every opportunity will be afforded of obtaining a satisfactory interpretation of their labours. That this object may be carried out as completely as pos sible, entire works in an operatic form will be given, somewhat after the manner of short secular Oratories, combining the services of Soprano, Contralto, Ten and Basso-Cantante, with the full Band and Chorus. Mr. George Macfarren and Mr. Edward Loder have already completed two new one-act Serenatas in the above form, which will be produce l early in the season ; Mr: Howard Glover is now engaged on a similar work, the title of which is " Hero and Leander ;" and arrangements are also pending with other English composers. Mr. Macf , rren's work is founded en the popular Arabian tale entitled " The Sleeper Awakened," the poem by r. John Oxenford. Mr. Loder has secured the services of Mr. Godlike Swine, who has selected for his libretto, " Telemachus." The Committee are also in communication with the great master Spohr, M. Marsch ner, and Felecien David, relative to the, production of several ori ginal works ; and the latter composer personally attend and conduct the pro luctlon of portions of his opera, "Chrietophe Co lomb." 31. Balfe will assume the post of Musical Director, Con ductor, and Composer; and an engagement is pending with the re nowned chef-d'orchestre, M. Charles d'Albert, who will have the entire direction and . arrangement of the Light' or Dance Music. Quadrilles, Polkas, Valises, &c., written expressly for these Con certs, by the most celebrated native and foreign authors, will be rapidly produced. 'Amongst other novelties will be—a " Quadrille of all Nations," composed by Mnsard, in col bration of the Great Industrial Exposition of the year 1851 ; " The Grand National Polka," by the author of " The Agnes Polka ;" a new Introductory MS. Overture and Hunting Chorus, by Belle. The composers of " The Firefly." '• Fuschia," " Arbaii, and other popular music, will also contribute various novelties to the donee repertoire. The Committee hays the utmost pride and satisfaction in an nouncing that, by the gracious permission of his Majes y the King of Prussia, they have been enabled to secure the entire Chortle or the Berlin Chapel Royal, consisting of fifty'male voices, under the direc lion of Herr Kapelmeister Neidthardt. The extraordinary perfec tion of this chorus is well known by reputation to every artiste and amateur in Europe, but the opportunity of hearing them in any town or country except th'ir earn has never hitherto been afforded. During their engagement, several pieces, entirely new to this conntry, and compared expressly for the Royal Chapel by Men delsshon,.Neidthardt, &c., will be performed, in addition to selec tions from the choral works of Bach. Handel, and Marcello, toge ther with the celebrated " Battle Chorus," which has created so extraordinary a sensation in Germany. An extra Chorus-for the Serenatas and other English music has been selected w•th the greatest care from the principal lyrical establishments, and will be nnder the direction of Herr Ganz, Chorus Master of her Majeity's Theatre. The arrangements of the Operatic Selections, &c., will be confided to Sig Negri. The pr ces of admission have been fixed at as low a scale as pru-, dence will admit; but as the Committee mean to be guided wholly by circumstances, and no wish or idea of profit will in any way iluence them, they beg it may be distinctly understood, should the returns justify any further reduction, that it will be instantly made. The Concerts will commence at eight, and terminate usually about eleven. The Theatre has been entirely re-decorated fur these entertainments. In addition to the following list, numerous engagements are pend ing; with other V. cal and Instrumental Artistes, particulars of which will be announced as soon as possible. VOCALISTS. • . Ma,:le.

Wornum derivered a lecture to a numerous au dience, consisting mainly of the students of the Governtnent School of Design at Somerset-house, on the characteristics of styles. The styles treated of were those of the early and middle ages, extending over a period of three thousand yearn, and were the Egyptian, the Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Sara- Cenic, and Gothic. The lecture was Of a technical character. The lecturer showed, by the aid of diagrams, the peculiari ties of each style, pointing out that each style, however individnal in character, was intimately connected with those which preceded it A point once gained was not lost, but was improved upon by succeeding ages. The lecture, which was well received, was concluded by some remarks on the importance of informing the head rather than training the hand.

A coroner's inquest has recently been held on the body of a person whose death sv:ls said to have been occasioned, or at least accelerated, by the violence of public officers, and a verdict of manslaughter was re• turned against the accused, without entering into the merits of the question which must hereafter be in vestigated before a competent tribunal. It was clearly and distinctly proved that great and un necessary cruelty was exercised by parties whose business it was to afford protection to the public, and there is but too much reason to suppose that such conduct is habitually pursued by , many persons holding similar situations, who are en couraged by the comparative impunity with which they are permitted to violate the law and ill-treat the unfortunates who come within their power ; indeed it would almost appear as if harshness were considered a necessary qualification for their offices. The case was that of a relieving officer, named EDWARD MORAN, who was charged with having caused the death of a casual pauper, named A.NDREVI MURPHY. It appeared that the de ceased, who was only twenty-two years of age, and .who described himself as a tailor in search of employment, applied on Wednesday, the 18th of September, at the Tib-street vagrant ward of the Manchester Workhouse for a night's shelter. The tramp-master, FRANCIS DALTON, informed him that he would be required to perform three hours severe task work in the morning in return for his supper and breakfast, to which the unfortunate young man replied that " he had no money, and must get in." He then entered the ward ; shortly afterwards DALTON saw the deceased struggling with Mouisr, who had hold of his arm, and was trying to open his hand, saying at the same time, " You had better give it up." DALTON declared that on hear ing that Mußrar had something in his hand, "he took hold of his left wrist with one hand and exerted all his strength to open his fingers with the other, but he could not succeed. He believed that MORAN was holding him by the other arm at the time.. Mr. Horzts, the superintendent of the Tib-street Industrial Establishment, who was present, and a pauper named SMITH, went to assist in searching the deceased Mr. Hows took held of the deceased's thumb, and pulled it hack, while DALTON got his hand under neath the fingers, and a quantity of copper money, 100., fell out of his hand—the money was swept away, and placed on a stove in the centre of the room. Another scuffle then took place between the deceased and MORAY, the former attempt ing to strike the other with a Wellington boot, which blow he parried, and struck MURPHY in the face." This was the statement of D ALTON, one of the parties implicated, who would of course be inclined to exhibit the conduct of the authorities in the most favourable light. It would, however, scarcely account for the marks of violence that were discovered on the body of the deceased, and which coul only have occurred on that occasion. The next morning the deceased complained of being very unwell. His thumb was swollen and disco loured ; one of his eyes was also discoloured, and he repeatedly vomited a greenish liquor, which smelt strong of spirits. He was then sent to the workhouse, where he continued very and never rallied until death, at two o'clock on the following Sunday morn ing, having in the interim stated that he " had been murdered by the Governor of the Tib•street work house." From the evidence of the medical witnesses one who attended hint during his illness, and the other who conducted the post mortem examination—it appeared that death was occasioned from an injury in the head, which produced a rup ture in the membrane of the brain, and led to an ex travasation of blocs", and Mr. IfoutorD thought that it could not have be?n caused by a fall, or by pre- vious intoxication in a man of his age. Under these circumstances the jury returned a verdict that " the deceased had died from a blow of the fist given by EDWARD MOR AN," who was committed to take his trial for manslaughter, and ac companied the verdict by expressing an opinion that " HoLus, the superintendent, and the tramp-master, had been guilty of great cruelty," and recommended that " in cases of extreme resist ance on the part of the tramps in future, the aid of a police-officer should be immediately called in." There are few persons who will not concur in this recpmmendation. It is of the utmost importance that the poor-law officials should not be permitted in any case to enter into personal conflicts with the paupers placed under their charge. Such persons are but too fre quently inclined to exceed the limits of their autho rity, and woe betide the unfortunate tramp who ven tures to complai❑ of ill-treatment. He is looked upon as a wretch placed beyond the limits of the law, who may be kicked and buffeted about with impunity whenever the " relieving officers" or " tramp misters" choose to indulge in that pleasing recrea tion. The visits of such parties must they conceive be discouraged, and guardians are inclined to regard in a favourable light conduct and demeanour, on the part of their subordinates, which, although not strictly warranted by law, may be calculated to deter appli cants from seek ng, shelter, and induce them to prefer a night's exposure to the inclemency of the weather, with cold and hunger as their companions, rather than submit to such tyrannical and oppressive conduct. The " right of . march" affords a peculiarly fa vourable opportunity fur inflicting every possible indignity on the wretched casuals, and it is by no means surprising that many persons should revolt and resist the attempt. If the officers are justified in making it, the aid of the police may easily bs called in, and the party punished the next morning by the magistrates. But persons of the class of MORAN, or DALTON, Or HoLus, should not be allowed to take the law into their own bands, to dislocate the thumb of an unfortunate young man, and, perhaps, to cause. his death, because he does not yield prompt obedience to their high be hests. We trust the Poor-law Commissioners will cause a searching inquiry to be instituted into the entire circumstances of the case, to ascertain whether HOLLIS or DALTON are fit persons to be entrusted with the extensive powers bestowed. on the workhouse officials. We can scarcely believe that the Commissioners of Sewers can have read the." Report of the General Board of Heslth on the Epidemic Cholera of 1948 and 1849 ;" for had they done so they would have scarcely ventured to countenance the plan which has been recently laid before them by their engineer for the draining the Surrey portion of the metropolis. We are told over and over again by the Commis sioners of Health that there is no more fruitful source of disease than offensive sewers and cesspools, and yet the Commissioners of Sewers propose to make an enormous cesspool, extending from Chelsea to Woolwich, the contents of which shall be kept to ferment for twenty-four hours, and then be poured, without having been subjected to any previous de putrifying process, into the Thames, to be carried by the tide down to Gravesend on the one side, and by the'rcturn tide up to Chelsea on the other, thus pro mating pestilence on both sides of the Thames. The Commissioners of Health inform us that the cholera last year was most fatal on the banks of the Thatn , -, and, on looking at the tables attached to their report, it will be found that the outbreak of cholera on the banks of the Thames was contempo raneous with the commencement of the system of flushing the sewers, and that an increase of cholera followed each successive flushing, thus proving to de monstration that the pollution of the stream by sewage, if it did not occasion, at all events greatly aggravated the disease, and yet it is proposed to pour the concentrated essence of all the filth of the metro polis en masse into the Thames, to poison its waters, while the inhabitants. are to be exposed to the pesti lential influence of the neighbourhood of an enormous cesspool, kept perpetually charged with gases of the most poisonous quality. We repeat what we have so frequently stated in former articles, no plan for the sewage of the metropolis shou'd be entertained which does not preserve the Thames free from pollution, The Commissioners of Health have given numerous instances of the influence of impure water in predis posing to the disease; we will content ourselves with quoting two only. The first is as follows : "Tbe privies of a number of houses in Silltmill-row, Hackney, were tuned down, and cesspools substituted. In Dr. Gavin's report it is stated— "' The first cesspaol was sunk in the middle of July within one yard of the only well which supplies with water 12 houses containing 85 inhabitants. Three other cesspools were made a. the distance of 3,3, and 12 yards from this well. About a fortnight or three weeks af,er the first cesspool had been ;nide, the inhabitants ob served the water become tainted and offensive; it gra dually became worn► until, when I titer it, that tr.-sh drawn in the morning was as thick as thin soup, with feculent matter. The landlord's agent employed himself an hour every morning in pumping off the thickened water in order to fit it for consumption and use. Atter his morning's work he declared the water to be quite good enough for the inhabitants. Those who do not choose to drink and cook with this most foul wa•er are compelled to catch the surface water which flaws along the kennel from the road and neighbouring tield. This water, which at other times would be considered foul, appears pure when compared with that used by the un fortunate inhabitants of this place.' '• Of these 85 inhabitants, 22 did not use the water of the well: these remained free from disease. Of the re maining 63, 46 were attacked with severe diarrheas, one of them approaching cholera." The next is a still more remarkable instance ; it is given on the authority of Dr. EVANS, of Bedford, who says— " A few years ago he was staying at Versailles with his lady, when they both became affected with ague, and, on inquiry, the following facts were disclosed:—The town of Versailles is supplied with water for domestic purposes from the Seine at Marti. At the time in ques tion a large tank, supplying one particular quarter, was damaged, and the mayor, without consulting the medical authorities, provided a supply of water consisting of the surface-drainage of the surrounding country, which is of a marshy character. The regular inhabitants would not use this polluted water; but Dr. and Mrs. Evans, who were at an hotel, drank of it unwittingly, and it was also used by a regiment of cavalry. The result was, that those who drank the water suffered from intermittent fever of so severe a type that seven or eight of the soldiers, fine young men, died on one day, September 1, 1845. On a careful investigation it was ascertained that those only of the troops who had drunk the marsh water were attacked, all the others, though breathing the same atmosphere, having escaped, as did also the townspeople." The Commissioners themselves furnish further proof of the deleterious effects of using polluted water, although they do not draw from the fact which they record the inferences which they might draw. They state that cholera was more prevalent on the south bank of the Thames than on the north bank, but seem at a loss to account for the circumstance. To us the reason is evident. The inhabitants of the south bank depend upon the Vauxhall and Lambeth companies for their supply of water, and those com panies depend exclusively on the Thames as the source of such supply, and it is to the exclusive use of polluted Thames water that the greater prevalence of cholera on the south bank of the Thames is to be attributed. The Commissioners of Sewers themselves have admitted that the great majority of the in habitants of the metropolis must necessarily derive their supply of water from the Thames, and there fore we impress upon the authorities the necessity of at once rejecting every plan of sewage that does not keep the waters of the Thames throughout their whole coarse free from pollution. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Almost every other political subject of interest is forgotten in thiexcitement caused by the studied insult lately offered to the PRESIDENT of the Republic by General CUANQARNIEIt. The abrupt departure of that officer from the plain of Satory in the very midst of the review seems at length to promise an open rupture between himself and LOUIS NAPOLEON. Much indignation is expressed by certain parties at the flagrant lent petty bribery practised by the latter towards the army indiscriminately. After each of the reviews there are not only supplied to the privates and officers, with and without commissions, cold co!. lations, but each man has his bottle—ein ordinaire for the rank and file, for the officers champagne, and, in addition to this, cigars of excellent quality are liberally distributed, and on the completion of the banquet, or rather, we should call it, the unceremo nious jollification, the PRINCB in person decorates a select few with ribloons and crosses. The 4th Regi ment, which called out " Vive le President !" was sent to Lille ; and the 623, which shouted " Vive I'Empereur I" retained in the capital. Still, while it is but wise to watch these things vigilantly, it must be remembered that Louts NAPOLEON has, ever since his election on the 10th of December, acted with uniform loyalty to the Republic, and again and again proclaimed his allegiance to the republican institutions. Masses still continue to be said throughout the country for the repose of the soul of the late ex- King Louis PiiimPris. Yesterday M. POITEVIN hovered over the Boule vards, riding on an ostrich, which swung from a balloon. M. TEIIERS had arrived in Paris from Germany. M. PERiIGNT had also returned to Paris from London. M. METERBEER has recently arrived in the French metropolis. Monsignor FRANZONI has arrived in France. Last night news was received that he had reached Brian (pil in the department of the Hautes Alpes. M. COCHELET, Consul-General of France in Lon don, has been appointed one of the Commissioners for the arrangement of objects in the French compart ment of the London Exhibition. A paragraph in the Constilutionnel contradicts the statement of the death of M. F R EDERICK &Mgt; mentioning that his journey to Pisa has been taken at the advice of his physicians. A decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic appears in the Moniteur, conferring the decoration of the Legion of Honour on M. AMADEE MARE, director of the Paris and Orleans and Vierzon Railways. According to Galignani, a courier had actually left the capital for Turin with dispatches strongly repre hending the conduct of the Sardinian Government. The following note, communicated by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, is published by the Patric and the Moniteur du S'oir . _ " Several journals of this morning contained, relative to the incident at Pernambuco, assertions which are wanting in exactitude. All the measures of satisfaction which the French Government was entitled to and bound to apply for have begin demanded from the Brazilian Government, and the French Government has every reason to believe that they will be accorded. Besides, no news has yet arrived from Rio Janeiro later than that received from Pernambuco." . - ------_ _ The privilege of the Theatre %Olen was yesterday transferred to the hands of Mr. LUMLET, the director of her Majesty's Theatre in London, on the special recommendation of the Commission des Theatres, to whom the situation of the Italian Opera had been re ferred by Government with a view to its re-establish ment in the state of eminence and prosperity this elegant theatre enjoyed previous to the revolution. Thefirdre makes a violent attack on Prince Louts NAPOLEON; whereas the Pays speaks in the follow ing terms of the PRESIDENT of the Republic : " In 1851 he will be indispensable. Indispensable, be cause without him France would fall back into anarchy, and would lose the fruit of two years' efforts ; because independently of him no government is possible; because the Socialists, the moderate Red Republicans, the Legiti matists, are not only incapable of preserving any go vernment, but even of arriving at it for a single moment; indispensable, because he alone can be moderate without weakness•, and because his moderation, the effect of strength, becomes in its turn a fresh cause of strength; indispensable, because independently of him there are onlya France negai desireso n; but to a o co n u ly nt p r a y rt d i o e es s not and live live. All th a t i s m arked beforehand with the stamp of pa o r t t i i n s eg a a r ti e on , logic; th e p r i nc i p l e o f good sense will have it so, and we have said t h at we k now no other. As fatally as the spirit of p ar t y h as cause d those whom it blinds to pass by the tripl e stages o f use l e ss, dangerous, and impos sible, so incontestably Louis Napoleon, after having been useful in 1849, and necessary in 1830, will become indispe nsa bl e in 1851. We do not think this truth a novelty. There are few men in France who have it not at the bottom of their thoughts. Many have not, per haps, yet expressed it to themselves; no one will dis avow it, and all will admit with us that, in the calm and perfectly disinterested terms in which we expose it, it is in reality what every one desin.s."

" Announcement by the Commander-iu•Chief. " After living for three yeas in the retirement of pri vate life, and quietly observing from that position since March, 1848, so many proceedings painful to the feelings of a true Hessian, I am quite unexpectedly called by his Highness the Elector t,) the position of Commander-in- Chief in our fatherland during the continuance of the state of siege, and am endowed with extensive power to break the opposition to the royal ordinances of the S vereign which have been rendered necessary by the undutiful conduct of the Assembly in denying those means without which the administration of his Government cannot be carried on, as well as by the usurpation and presumption of the Stand ing Committee—and to restore the reign of law and order in the State. That I, an old man of seventy one years, willingly obey the call of my Sovereign to exchange the chosen quiet of my retired life for the toil and anxiety of an office which, alike by the deluded and the deluders, is despised, may prove to every man not only that I am fully convinced of the legality and con stitutional character of the measures of the Government, but that I will respond to the confidence placed in me without fear of man, and with energy and zeal. Let those who are inclined to offer an active or passive op position to the lawful authority learn that, although I am hoary with age, I am firmly confident in the aid of Almighty God I shall exercise the office entrusted to me with strict severity, and prove to all that I still know how to wield the sword of authority with decision and come. "Lieut.-Gen. Vox HAYNAIT. " CassO, Oct. 1, 1850." A protocol of rti meeting at which M. HASSESPFLUG delivered written declarations of the Government upon questions of present interest, has just been pub lished. The following 'passages, selected from the Ministerial replieri, will show the variations of the Ministry since last March, when they were formally recorded. In reply to the first question, " The Go vernment declares its conviction that at present no federal authority exists authorised to interfere in the internal affairs of any German state, and expresses its determination to repel every presumption of that cha • ranter with decision. M. BEusTi Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saxony, has gone to Berlin, to offer the mediation of his Go vernment in the affair of Hesse Cassel. The Stuttgard official Gazette contains a procla mation convoking the Extraordinary Assembly lately elected to revise the constitution, in conjunction with the Government. The sittings were to have com menced on the 4th, and the members to appear in the capital on the 3d inst. The Session of the Chamber of Deputies of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg was opened on the Ist of October.

Accounts from the seat of war are of the 2d inst. The attack on Frederichstadt, that had lasted three days, still continued, and up to that morning without result. The place was being cannonaded, and was burning at several points. The Danes still held out, and would probably be reinforced from Husutn. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Trent, Captain Clarke, with the West India mails, arrived this morning at half past twelve. She brought on freight 241,365 dollars on merchants' account, and 30,067 dollars for the dividends. From Jamaica we have news to the 13th ult. The island continues to be visited by heavy rains, but the heat was oppressive. Cotton cultivation was favour ably progressing ; business had been unusually dull during the last fortnight. IRELAND. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) DUBLIN, PEW I.T EVENING. MURDER IN TIIE COUNTY OF Down.—The Belfast piper which we received this evening an nounces that shortly after dusk on Wednesday evening a weaver, named M'Cormiek, who resided at Carmoss-on-the-hills, Borough-road, within a short distance of Ballynahinch, and about two miles beyond the CArrayduff meeting-house, while sitting at his loom, was shot at by a miscreant who had intruded the muzzle of his gun through an aperture made in the window-frame; the bullet entered the heart of the poor victim, and after passing through his body was lodged in the frame work of the loom. The only cause that can be assigned for the murder is, that M'Cormick had taken a small farm, and was care-taker for another from which the previous tenants had been evicted. He had received several threatening letters during the last two months calling upon him to give up possession, or take the consequences. DEATH OF COLONEL STEWART OF KILLYMOON.— Letters from the north announce the death of Colonel Stewart, proprietor of the splendid seat and magnifi cent demesne of Killymoon, county Tyrone, for which proposals of purchase were lately made by Lord Gough. Colonel Stewart was a descendant of the junior branch of the Stuarts Ochiltree, who were related to the roy*l line, and whe received large grants from James I. after hi s accession to t h e B r iti s h throne. The deceased was f, r many years a , repre sentative for the county Tyrone. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILIVAL—MT. Samuel An derson, a director of this company, who retired with the late nta with itheir board, has been this week ele cted to a seat with the present direction.

DUTY.—The hop.growers of Worces tershire and Herefordshire, comprisin g what is called the Worcester district, have had a meeting at Worcester to so licit further indulgence from the Government for the pay ment of the remaining moiety of the 1848 duty, which at present stands fixed for the 15th instant. The chair was taken by Mr G. Freeman, of Lugwardine, Herefordshire, a magistrate and large hop-grower, and, after several speeches, a memorial to the Chancellor of the Exchequer was agreed to. The memorial set forth that at the present period the agriculturists were called on for the payment of rents ; that the price of all agricultural produce was exceedingly low, and, therefore, i f t h e payment of the moiety of the duty were insisted upon. it would oblige the planters to throw a large quantity of hops upon the market, and thus produce a ruin ous depreciation in price. The memorial therefore prayed for a postponement of the duty until after Christmas. iillr. / r evers, a large Herefords hire p lanter, represented that if the payment of the duty were enforced at once, it would redu ce the price o f h ops 103. pe r cwt. immediately. CASES IN THE COUNTY COURTS.—Cases are now in the course of trial to 80/• under the County Court Exten sion Act, passed in the late sessiop. There is a provision in this Act which require to be ge nerall y know n , in order to save tro u bl e to plaintiffs and defendants. Hitherto judg ment could not be taken by default, but now it is enacted by the eighth section, that any person against whom a plaint is entered, whether he be summoned or not, in the presence of the clerk or assistant clerk of the court, or one of their clerks, or of an attorney, may sign a statement, confessing and ad mitting the amount of a debt or part thereof. Notice of such admission is to be sent to the pllintitl' and on the next court judgment to be given, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as if the cause bad been tried. This provi sion will lead to arrang ements both as to the period and amount of in s t a l ments to be made, and save a good deal of time to all parties and prevent unnecessary exposure.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti ma.el a: 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 American were taken on speculation. The market was steady, and closed without change.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done at advancing prices. The weekly statement of the Bank of England is of a character to bear out the assertion that fuller employ ment has lately IN ea obtainable for money, for the ad vances upon " other" securities stand for a much higher sum. It seems by no means improbable tint parties may be obtaining loans upon stock, &c., and placing some of the proceeds in railway shares and produce, but, however this may be, the fact stands patent that the Bank has been called upon for a larger amount of accommodation, and this must be deemed satisfactory. The etste of the account of the public treasury is like wise cheering, and there may be favourable anticipa tions of the revenue termed from the circumstance that the deposits are 80 large. The circulation both of notes and specie has increased, and, compared with the previous week, the following changes are apparent is other respects : Notes Issued Decrease Rest ... ••• ... ▪ 30,083,295 ••• 92,825 ... 3,560,587 2,992 ... 10,854,230 ••• 631.351 , ••• 8 877 696 ▪ 90 465 ▪ 1,247,484 Increase ... ...

Active Circulation Increase ... There were not quite such good rates obtainable yes terday afternoon for bills of exchange on the principal Continental cities, the nearest quotations par pound sterling for paper dated 90 days being as follow :—Paris, 25 474 to 524; Frankfort, 120 to ; Trieste, 11 57 to 59; Antwerp, 25 474 to 50; Hamburgh, 13 94 to 10; and Amsterdam, 12 04 to 12 1. The railway traffic returns for the week will in most cases bear a favourable comparison with those for the corresponding period of last year, but there are some cases more prominent than others. The Great Western takings are remarkably good, and few lines, apparently, can more advantageously and safely carry on the excur sion system. The South Devon traffic is particularly gratifying. The Great Northern line is doing well, con sidering the short period that it has been opened, and, whether from this opposition or some other cause, the Eastern Counties returns are deficient. The Caledonian have taken less, and the Aberdeen decidedly more. The French lines are getting a fair share of the general increase. If the reports from Leipsic, concerning the great fair now in progress there, be correct, they suggest matter for reflection, and it would be interesting to inquire into the cause of the alleged preference to German textile fabrics. We are positively assured by a party writing on the spot, that a highly. satisfactory business has been doing in all articles, with the single exception perhaps of English manufactures, which the same authority fur ther asserts, have been neglecte I for Zollverein fabrics. One is tempted to ask whether the price operates as a bar, and if the high duties imposed abroad occasion as onerous enhancement of that price, for certainly England, with its vast facilities for obtaining raw staples direct from the places of growth, should on anything like equal terms beat every competitor. The Royal Mail steamer from the West Indies brings favourable accounts of the weather in most of the islands, but in Jamaica very heavy rains had fallen. In Demerara the weather was hot and-dry, bat good for the planters ; and the prospects of the next crops in Trinidad are encouraging. The minor colonies had been benefited by fine rains. The steamer Washington furnishes later intelligence from the United States, but it seems to be of no promi nent interest. There was more gold advised as being on the way from California. The exports of the precious metals from London this week comprise 2,065 ounces of gold, and 183,000 ounces of silver. The Funds are drooping, and the accounts from Paris advise a very marked depression in the rehtes, and a continued uneasy feeling. The gold in the Bank of France had been diminished 7,000,000 francs during the week to which the return is completed, and this argues some want of confidence. Consols have been 96i I for transfer, and 96i for November. Exchequer bills have realised 635. to 675. premium. The Foreign Investments have been rather quiet, but Mexican have been subject to some fluctuation, in con sequence of the report that the advices per West India mail are to the effect that the Secret Committee of Con gress recommends an appropriation of 2,500,000 dollars from the indemnity money, and a Three per Cent. Stock. The current rates have been 3l 4. Grenada are 18i, and Buenos Ayres 58. Spanish Five per Cents. have realised 184 4. It is said that on the opening of the Cortes the Queen will .nnoUcce in her speech a Bill for the arrangement of the debt. Railway Shares have been rather less buoyant than yesterday, but there is a good deal doing. In Mining Shares this week an average business has been transacted.
