IH:rnlng .. 35 al:mites after 3 I Evening 51 minutes after 3. I ‘ftebs ATM LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1845. It has not been denied by the Treasury journals, and we may, therefore, take it for granted that the general tumour is correct which says, that Sir ROBERT PEEL has been beaten in the Cabinet, in an attempt to open the ports. How are the mighty fallen! "I," the great "I " of the House of Commons—he who for four years has led his colleagues, as so many sheep to the slaughter, into every imaginable con tradiction to their former professions—he who could even venture rudely to push aside the aspiring heir of the house of Derby when he wanted to speak, and the Premier feared his indiscretion—" the gentleman," as the Duke of WEL LINGTON is said to call him with expressive emphasis, who has managed the Duke, and every one, and everything— " the gentleman," beaten by his own dummies, is, it must be confessed, a remarkable, but yet not altogether astonishing, event. Sir R. PEEL is probably himself the man most sur prised. From men who have so long been so submissive he c,.uld not have been prepared for resistance. But every one knows that dulness is a double-edged weapon. The ass will work steadily and quietly, till something puts his back up, and then there is no quieting or managing the animal. The unreasoning dunce may long be an useful in strument; but if he takes to opposing his master, his master cannot reason with him either. Sir ROBERT has long found Lk account in his Dunciad. He has now come to learn its dangerous and disagreeable side. Oa ! what an opportunity has been lost for Sir ROBERT ;D this refusal of his colleagues to open the ports. It would have been the coup de grace of the corn-laws. For none of his innumerable changes had Sir ROIIF.RT PEEL ever so good a ca.n as he would have had for this act, and its necessary repeal of the corn-laws by the Legislature. He ;Mel, woald have met Parliament with confidence, defending what Le had done by the will of PROVIDENCE; or, as Sir JAMES CE..111.01 would say, by " difficulties which no human pru dence could avt.rt ;" or by the pious Lord ASHLEY as " des tiny." To any opposition to permanent rspeal of the corn laws, he might have answered, " We have repealed them: as it has been done, why not stay as you are?" He might have treated corn-law repeal as un fist aceompli. The great problem which must sooner or later be settled—which Sir ROBERT burns to settlehimself—which till lately no one exactly saw Isis way to the settlement of—. and which is now again, the ports not being opened, thrown on the wide sea of futurity—would have been solved easily, anti Sir ROBERT would have had a fresh start of power. But the decision of the Cabinet has changed all this. Mr. ConDEs, in his admirable speech at Birmingham, did not overstate the care:— " But far Sir R. Peet, what a critical moment in his fortune has now passed. I say passed, for let him do the act at the end of this month which he ought to have done ten days ago, still he will nut he the same man he would have been had he done it then. There is riot even a child in statesmanship that could not have then told Sr It. Peel, • Now is the critical period of your political fortune—this is the tide of your political life; if you take it at its flood, you goon to such a fortune as no statesman ever attained in this country before! but if you miss it—if you allow the flood to pass by you—you wid prove to tha world that you have been all your life a pretender, ant a mare h. ax on the credulity of your countrymen.—(Great cluvring ) We have all been thinking, for some time past, tha Peel was the man—not the coming man—but the come mart. — (A laugh.) Everybody began to say, Peel is the man for a practical statesman, to govern a practical people, and I have no L es it a tion in saying that if Sir R. Peel had taken the course I have suggested, of boldly bearding the Iron Duke—(A laugh)— and at once dismissing him and his tail from the Cabinet—l have HO hesitation in saying, so far as Lancashire and Yorkshire are to.icerned, he would have rallied around him the whole of the mighty population of these counties as one man in his support. We should have buried Whig and Tory from the moment we found sir Robert Peel had abolished the corn -laws.—(Hear, hear.)" And what will Sir ROBERT do now as to opening the ports at Ale end of a month ? We may take for granted that they o ill not be opened now. At the end of a month we shall baby have prices that will open the ports to corn. Nothing done now and the sliding-scale are to carry Sir Lous:iiT through the crisis—so his colleagues have ruled; awl the versatile Premier will now prepare to meet Parlia ment with an eulogy on the sliding-scale, and to oppose corn-law repeal, against Mr. Escort, against Captain Rous, egiinst L•rd ASHLEY, against " destiny ;" and we shall Lave another cession of Parliamentary struggles, perhaps g•encral election, before this great question reaches a N• ie • 0* ious consummation. a:tother We trust the example of the Birmingham meeting, and the advice of Mr VILLIERS and Mr. COBDEN, will not be thrown away; and that from one end of the kingdom to the other the Cabinet policy and the corn-laws will be denounced at public meetings between this and the meeting of Par liament. Our readers will have perused with mingled feelings of horror and astonishment the details we have published of the preliminary examination of sixteen prisoners before Mr. BRODERIP, the Magistrate at the Thames Police-court, on a charge of mutiny on the high seas. It is usually our course to abstain from offering any remarks on cases that are still pending, Sin those stages which immediately precede their remission before the superior law courts of criminal jurisdic tion. Of course such abstinence is generally desirable, in order that the case of the accused may be as little prejudiced as possible by its being brought under the consideration of the public in a garbled and incomplete state, as to the evi dence which must dually determine the fate of the charge. rnE s UN, It may, however, and occasionally does, happen that there are circumstances connected with this preliminary stage of a case which are calculated to compromise, eventually, the great ends of justice, irrespective of the particular case of the prosecutor or the accused. It then becomes our duty to in dicate at once the point from which a result every way so prejudicial to the course of law and the welfare of society may be likely to ensue. Such a point, we think, clearly occurs in the proceedings before Mr. BRODERIP against the sixteen prisoners so charged with mutiny on board the ship Tory. The master of that vessel in his statement enters into details so confused and unsatisfactory, that he is repeatedly remonstrated with, in the course of it, by the Magis trate, and only excused by his own counsel on the score of his not having yet got over the protracted excitement he had sustained, on a long voyage from Ascension Island, through the avowed determination (and certain overt acts of his crew tending to confirm it) of the mutineers to take away his life. The statement having been gone through, the master is questioned by the Magistrate—first, whether he intends to charge the whole of the prisoners with mutiny ; and his answer being assumed to be in the negative (for it is difficult to determine whether or not such is the fact), he is asked, secondly, whom he does mean to charge by name It then appears not only that he has not made up his mind on this important matter, but he is actually uncertain whether one of the men, whom he had already described to the Magis trate as standing by him and assisting him to make head against the mutineers, be not the individual who had been among the most guilty of the offenders ; and he so distinctly abandons the case against another, whom his previous state ment had proved a prominent actor in the scenes of mutiny, that that accused is desired by the Magistrate to stand out of the dock ; though being otherwise inculpated, he is to " be looked after" by the police. Now, when the prisoners are called on for their defence, one of them enters into a narra tive—amply confirmed by most of the others—of the conduct of this very master himself, the most brutal, the most re volting, the most demoniacally ferocious which, we verily believe, was ever disclosed in an English court of justice. Of the crimes involved in that terrific narrative, murder, and the indulgence of the most inordinate revenge, are the least in degree, the least appalling in their development. The mutiny is shown by the narrative of this witness, a man named YELVERTON, to have been—if we credit his evidence—the actual and in evitable result of the ferocity of the master. Inflamed by habitual intoxication to a pitch of blood-seeking frenzy, to which the history of such monsters of piratical cruelty and wickedness as TEACII (or Blackbeard),. or Sir WILLIAM MORGAN, or any of the buccaneers, French or Spanish, or Dutch or English, of the seventeenth century, supplies no adequate parallel ; this very master is accused by YELVERTON and others of crimes that, even to contemplate, thrills one's imagination with horror, and to the bloody details of which a female in the Court, who had been a passenger by this ship throughout the various dreadful tragedies whereof it was the theatre, listened with a degree of attention only interrupted by the sobs and the tears which their recital occasioned—she volunteering her testimony, in confirmation of that of YELVERTON, as an eye witness of many of the dreadful facts deposed to. A brave man, the chief mate, stabbed at, cut at, hewn, hacked and pursued by the drunken maniac of a master, was stated by YELVERTON and another to have jumped over board, preferring, haply, to rush upon his fate in the surg ing bosom of the deep, than to linger out a few more hours of insult, torture, and mutilation under the weapon of his SP '. - age persecutor. A less to be lamented individual, was a seaman—first goaded to mutiny—(according to the defence of the accused,—for the reader will excuse our anx iety to impress upon his attention, that we treat these state meats not as facts, but as portions of the statements made to the Magistrate)—and afterwards induced by the master to join him an intimidating, maiming, and insulting the other sailors and apprentices, finally became the victim of his implacable cruelty. Hacked to pieces, while yet living, an inch of the man cut off every hour, or so, then hauled down to the masters's cabin with instruments of torture, suffocated or strangled there, as it is affirmed—and in that condition brought up on deck and there placed opposite the human find whom his murder could not satisfy, in order to be con templated, gloated over, and made a mark for his naked cutlass! The name of this vietim is given as MARS. Another charge against this captain, for there is still another horror yet but partially unveiled, imputes to him, by construction, the poisoning of another of his mates. But we will not run the risk of disgusting the public, by dwelling longer on a tale of " savagery " which if it be true, but in the main, sufficiently proves how immeasurably the guilt of human actions may sometimes exceed all the invention of the most prurient imaginations. Our purpose is to ask, (1), why Mr. BRODERIP, having put the prisoner CORDOVIALLO out of the dock, and thereby established his competence to give evi denceagainst the master, did not put the master himself in the dock, and take the Italian's evidence to any matters which had been deposed to by YELVERTON ? (2), why Mr. BRODERIP did not pursue the same course with regard to the female passenger who tendered her evidence? (3), Why Mr. BRODERIP, with so extraordinary a case, pre sumptive and circumstantial as was before him, did not fee himself imperatively called on to commit Mr. CLARKSON'S client—the accuser, Captain JOHNSON, master of the Tory— to Newgate, or at least to strict confinement and security in one of her MAJESTY'S gaols, until the day on which all the prisoners stand remanded, instead of simply contenting him self with the undertaking of a police inspector, that the captain shall be forthcoming? Such an indulgence, under circumstances of so grave and suspicious a character, was surely never extended by any other magistrate to a party in the master's position. What there was in JOIINSON'S case to merit, or even to excuse such an indulgence, we are utterly unable to comprehend! It will be seen from an account given in another part of The Sun that the controversy between the Press and the Bar has been brought to the only termination that could have been anticipated. The question was discussed on Wednesday at a meeting of Queen's Counsel, held for the purpose, and the meeting came to the resolution " that there was no ob jection to the practice of circuit and other reporting by mem bers of the bar." This will enable the gentlemen of the Oxford and Western Circuit, who passed the " exclusion bill," to get out of their difficulties without much dis grace, but we hope the result will be a warning to them and to others for the future against any similar attempts to inflict an act of great injustice on the most industrious, though not the most wealthy members of the bar, and to cast a stigma on every one connected with the newspaper press. They might easily have seen that such an invidious, unfair, and uncalled-for distinction would na turally excite the hostility of all persons connected with newspapers—a class by no means to be despised—and that in a very few months the names of the leading members on the two expurgated circuits would be entirely forgotten by the public. We do not rejoice over the victory as a matter for triumph ; but we rejoice that these gentlemen have seen the error of their ways, and that they acknowledge the ne ce:sity of doing to others as they would wish others to do unto them. Accounts from Madrid of the 7th state that the disturb ances at Valencia had been completely put down, but that symptoms of insurrection had been manifested at Saragossa. Several officers had been arrested, but no outbreak had taken place. The resignation of General CORDOVA had been accepted by the Governmen The Three per Cents. sold for 3N % at GO days, and 3G% % at shorter dates; the Five per Cents., at 25; and the Debt without Interest, at 8 1 % % for time. The only article of interest in the Paris papers appears in the Journal des Debuts. It contains an able and impartial character, though tinged, perhaps, with a little flattery, of Marshal SOULT, on his final retirement from the War-office. The veteran Marshal, whether as regards the length of his services, or the able manner in which he conducted the armies of France, or latterly his employment under both the Bourbon and Orleans dynasty in important places of trust, is the most remarkable man, excepting, perhaps, the KING himself, now living in France. By his skilful generalship at the close of the Peninsular campaigns, and the courage which he thereby inspired into his troops, it is admitted on all hands that he gave WELLINGTON more trouble and caused more hard fighting than any other Gene ral during these long and harrassing campaigns. When in this country full justice was done to him by the English; nation and to his honour ; even when he spoke to un willing auditors, he took care to let his conntrymen know that a sense of it was indelibly impressed on his heart. We have therefore much pleasure in extracting this eulogium, written by one of his own countrymen :—"The KING and the Ministry have yielded with regret to the wishes of Mar shal SOULT to quit the War Department. For the last five years no person had perceived that age had in the slightest degree lessened the activity of the illustrious Marshal. He alone, from scruples which must be respected whilst they are deplored, has imagined that the time was come to leave to others functions demanding a vigilance and assiduity, without any respite. We believe that the youngest men would End it difficult to equal the zeal and energy of the old Marshal ; his capacity, which entered into all kinds of de tail; that firm will, which foresaw or decided everydifficulty that vigour of command, which is the first of qualities in a Minister of War ! Therefore, in the choice of the suc cessor to the Marshal, the KING and the Cabinet have been particularly guided by the desire to find men formed in some measure under the eyes of the Minister whom the country and the army were about to lose, who might have been the depositories of his tradition., and who considered it a merit to preserve them intact. It was not wished, and very properly, that the retreat of the Minister should cause a revolution in the War Department. It is a difficult task to replace Marshal SOULT, and it will be no so small honour to cause his retirement to be as little felt as possible. Age being, besides, the sole motive that determined the Marshal to close his remarkable and laborious career as administrator, nothing prevented his preserving the Presidentship of the Council. His colleagues do not conceal the urgent manner in which they insisted on keeping him at their head; on the contrary, they consider it an honour to have done so. The Opposition may go or. with their indecent jests on his glorious old age. Mar shal SOULT has not written, it is true, a Histoire du Conan lat de l'Empire,'—he has done better, he has taken part himself in these events, the immensity of which crushes one to the earth. His experience in business has been acquired in the midst of the greatest events of the age. We do not speak of the authority of his name, but any man would be fortunate to possess his political glance, so just and so sure, and often in the discussions of the Chamber a word from Marshal SOULT weighed heavr in the balance LONDON, - - than whole speeches from others, for it is a most remarkable circumstance that the old Lieutenant Of the EMPEROR be. came, when the change of regime demanded it, a true con stitutional minister l The Cabinet has therefore rendered good service to the country, to the Chambers, and to the Conservative party, in sparing no effort to engage Marshal &MILT to preserve the Presidentship of the Council. The Marshal, who would have preferred a complete repose, on his side thought that he owed a last sacrifice to the wishes of the KING, and to his attachment for his colleagues. On both sides, everything in this transaction is honourable and dig nified, and we have no doubt that it will meet with general approbation." Some of the journals again report that the Government intends to send, if not an expedition to Madagascar, at least reinforcements to the French forces in that quarter, in order to avenge the late repulse at Tamatave. It was ge nerally believed at Lorient that two companies of the mas rine artillery are about to be embarked at Brest, in frigates armed en flute, whose destination, though not positively an nounced, is understood to be Madagascar. The frigates Pomone and Armide, and the steamer Vauban, from Lorient, and also a contingent from Toulon, are, it is said, to be sent on the same expedition, The order for sending to Brest a company of engineers for foreign service, as announced by the Moniteur de l'Armee, is probably connected with the same object. The Journal du Havre announces the arrival in that port from Buenos Ayres of the Deux Freres Unis, with the por tion of her cargo destined for that place, and which she was not permitted to land, in consequence of the decree of ex clusion issued by Roses. The master of the vessel in his report estimates the loss by this disappointment at 50,000 frencs, but expresses a hope that the French Government will insist upon bis being indemnified by the Argentine Republic. The Moniteur contains the following announcement rela tive to two important new lines :—" The laws relative to the Paris and Lyons and Creil and Saint Quentin Railroads had left certain questions undecided, which it was necessary for the Government to decide before those lines could be adjudi cated. These questions having been settled to-day, the Minister of Public Works immediately decided that the ad judication of the Paris and Lyons and Creil and Saint Quen tin lines shall take place on the 20th December." This in telligence had carAsed much excitement in the share market joined to the amalgamation which had taken place of the companies competing for the Strasburg line. The following is said to be a correct statement of the pro portion of shares awarded to each of the companies according to the arrangement entered into between them by mutual consent :—Compagnie de l'Est (Hainguerlut), 50,000; Roth schild and Co., 22,000; Ganneron's Company, 50,000; Gentil- Fol's Company, 50,000; Bechet's Company, 20,000; Gouin and Co. (representing the companies of Odiot, de Hell, and Arnoux), 33,000 ; Caumont Laforce's Company, 12,500 ; Laro chefoucalt-Doudeauville, 12,500: total number of shares, 250,000. It is also understood that the fusion of the Tours and Nantes Companies is completed, Mackenzie's _Company having a fourth part of the whole number of shares, and hay ng the appointment of seven directors out of the whole. A good deal of fluctuation took place in the Funds and Shares, which closed as follows : The Three per Cents. 82f. 45c. ; Five per Cents. 117 f. 80c.; the Orleans Railroad Shares 1,152 E 50c. ; Rouen, 982 f. 50c. ; Northern, 737 f. 50c.; Havre, 780 f. ; Avignon, 957 f. 50c ; Vierzon, 701 f. 25c. ; Bordeaux, 630 f. ; Boulogne, 542 f. 50c. ; Troyes and Montereau, 465 f. ; Basle, 258 f. 75c.; Fampoux, 500 f. ; Spanish Three per Cents., 38 1 4 ; Spanish Domestic Debt, 3 5 ; Spanish Passives, 7.

It is with feelings of great gratification tnat we have read the report of the proceedings of the Committee appointed to carry into effect the ball and concert to be given, on Wednes day next, at Guildhall, for the benefit of the Ward Schools of the City of London. We agree with Mr. Brown, the deputy of the ward, who was chairman on the occasion, in expressing a hope that the citizens of London, who, to their high honour be it spoken, have always so zealously supported the balls and concerts at the Guildhall for the benefit of the unfor tunate Poles, " will show at least as much zeal in a work of charity involving the interests of their own poor." There seems to be every prospect that such will be the case. The Lord Mayor requirel to be supplied with a far greater number of tickets than had been sent to him, of the whole of which he had already disposed. It appears that the mer chants and bankers in all the wards have announced that they will liberally contribute to the charity; and, no doubt, the call of the Lord Mayor on the opulent members of the several wards who no longer reside in the City, will be pro perly responded to. We are rejoiced to find the bird Mayor thus actively engaged in the cause of charity at the very commencement of his reign as Chief Magistrate. It is a most auspicious beginning of his Mayoralty, and he is setting an excellent example, which the other City mag nates will doubtless be buf too happy to follow. To con clude in the words of the Chairman of the Committee, " we expect to witness, on Wednesday, one of the grandest spec tacles which ever appeared in Guildhall upon one of the noblest occasions." ALARMING FIRE. WANTAGE, Nov. 14.—A most alarming fire broke out this morning about one o'clock, upon the extensive farming buildings occupied by Mr. Wm. Trinder, which were in a very short time totally destroyed, together with a quantity of seeds, &c.: Fortunately the very valuable cart-horses were not at home, otherwise they would have inevitably perished. By very great exertions a large rick of beans and poults was saved, and further damage prevented. At present the origin of this calamity is quite unknown, and the proprietor is so very universally beloved and respected by all classes of so ciety, that it is difficult to imagine any one could be so base as to wilfully injure him. The adjoining workshop and stores of Mr. R. Southby, wheelwright, was also seriously damaged, but we understand he is partially insured for the amount. P.S. There is every reason to believe this has been the diabolical act of some incendiary.—.( From a Correspondent.) MONDAY MORNING, NOVE MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) It is now pretty generally understood that there will not be any alteration in the corn duties until the meeting of the next session of Parliament. Thus are the hopes of the mer cantile classes tampered with, and that, too, with the pros pects of a severe winter before us and a scarcity of food for the great mass of the people. It may be said to have been demi-officially announced that a Privy Council is to be held next week, for the important topic of convening Parliament in the month of January, "for the dispatch of business." As there is an imperative necessity for immediate steps being taken to provide for the deficiencies in the wheat and potato crops, the sooner the Council assembles th• better. It will not do for Ministers to heed the usual vacation, and the prolongation of the Christmas festivities, and indulging in " guttling and guz zling," as Hunt used to term city feasting, while the peo • ple are enduring, quietly hitherto, all the evils of high priced provisions. If any remedial measure is in contem plation to stave off high-priced bread, let it be done " speedy and soon," as that prompt man of business said in the panic of 1825-6, the late Sir William Curtis. At the periodical sale of Railway Shares, held at the Hall of Commerce yesterday, there was a very good attendance. An evident disposition was shown to hold bond fide lines Scrips and Shares. Messrs.

There are no late arrivals in the City to-day. The Brazil mail is in, but we have no private commercial accounts of interest. The Bank returns for the last week give the following results, upon a comparison with the preceding statement :- In the circulation there has been a decrease of but 64,7581. or to 27,202,365/. The Rest has been increased by 10,1421., or to 3,234,5951. In the public deposits there is an increase from 4,487,6381. to 5,340,7311. In the other deposits there is a slight increase-the same in the seven days bills. A decrease is shown in the quantity of bullion held of 162,094/. ; viz., from 13,885,642/. to 13,722,948/. Consols for Money and the Account have very f:rmly maintained:their value this morning, in the absence too of any material demand. For Money the price has been 96 1 4 14, and for the Account 96% and %. It is pretty evident from the state of the market, as respects Consols for transfer and for time, that the Bears have oversold themselves. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have reached 974. India Stock has advanced to 263, Bank Stock 203, and the pre mium on Exchequer-bills has fluctuated from 245. to 275. Not much business has been done in the Foreign Im vestments to-day.

GRAVESEND, FRIDAY, Nov. 14.—This morning as a man in the employ of the Earl of Darnley, at Cobham, was going to work, he found near the spot where Dadd murdered his father, four pistols, three of them discharged ,and one loaded, a pocket handkerchief saturated with blood, and a pool of blood at the place, and the turf very much torn up as though there had been a terrible struggle ; also near the place was found a ginger-beer bottle containing brandy or brandy and water. The workman immc diately made off to the steward of the estate, and brought him to the place to see the things as they were found. The steward immediately dispatched intelligence to the police at Rochester, who promptly used means to endeavour to discover the horrid affair, but to this moment without effect. LATER FROM THE RIVER PLATE. On Friday evening the following extract from 'a letter brought by a vessel now in the English Channel was handed to our agent at Liverpool through Mr. Court, the obliging Secretary of the Underwriters' Rooms at that place " RlO JANEIRO, SEPT. 13. "H. M. frigate Resistance arrived here on the Bth inst., from Gibraltar, with the 45th Regiment on board, for the Cape of Good Hope; but it is supposed that the dispatches per H. M. steamer Cyclops, which arrived here on the 11th inst., thirty days from Plymouth, has changed her desti nation, as she sails on the morning with the troops for Monte Video, and it is believed that she will be followed in a few days by H. M. steamer Cyclops." IBRAHIM PACIIA.—FLORENCE, NOV. 6.—lbrahim Pacha has met with a cordial reception here from the upper circles of Tuscan society. Yesterday his highness passed the evening at the house of Lady Normanby, where a large party had been invited to meet him. Tie rendered himself very agreeable, and talked a great deal with the ladies. Before leaving Pisa, the Prince was invited to a grand banquet offered to him in the name of the Grand Duke and the principal autho►ities. On his health being given, he acknowledged the toast as follows :—" No alla prosperita della Toscana, perche prospera ; no alla felicita de suoi abitani, perche felici ; ma alla conservazione del buon principe que it governa." This was received with loud applause by the company. ANOTHER SECEDER FROM OXFORD.—We are enabled confidently to state that another student of Christ Church, the Rev. Mr. Coffin, M.A., vicar of St. Mary Mag dalene, has resigned his preferments at Oxford, preparatory, it is said, to following his curate, Mr. Collyne, to Rome. Quousqu etandem ?—Church and State Gazette. DUBLIN, Nov. 13.—The accounts from the pro vinces this morning, in reference to the potato crop, are on the whole more satisfactory than those of last week. It does not appear that the heavy rains have materially affected the portion of the crop still remaining in the ground, while it is quite certain that the disease is not progressing so rapidly now as it did some time ago. In short, there is reason to hope that with ordinary care the sound portion of the crop will remain in that condition until the spring, in which case, although there might be high prices, and an insufficient supply, much of the anticipated evil would be averted 1845.

Mr. Nash, solicitor, Old Jewry, to whose unwearied exer tions the public are principally indebted for the discovery of Maynard and Garrett, the railway robbers, has received the following communication from the Home-office, relative to the threatening letters recently sent to him, daring him to prosecute Garrett and Maynard at the peril of his lite ; " Whitehall, Nov. 12, 1845. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th instant, relative to certain threatening letters which have been sent to you ; and I am to inform you that an offer of pardon to an accomplice in such a case is unusual, but a reward of one hundred pounds will be paid by the Government to any person who shall give such information and evidence as shall lead to the discovery and conviction of the writer, or writers, of the letters in question.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, S. M. PHILLIPS. " To Charles Nash, Esq., No. 6, Frederick's-place, Old Jewry." DUTCH MAIL. GRONINGEN, Nov. 10.—We learn from good authority that license has now been given for the execution of a railway through our province, in connexion with that of Overyssei. We are rejoiced that this license has .been given at a time of the year when many labourers will be out of work, and must begin to look out for employment during-the winter. It is to be wished that it may be possible to commence opera tions speedily. Accounts from Emden say that the harvest in the province of East Friesland is considered on the whole as good, in regard to quality. In consequence of the potato disease, all kinds of corn are high in price, and the condition of the poor in the approaching winter is a subject of apprehen sion Old wheat is in the hands of persons who, 1R the expecta tion of higher prices in England, do not send any to market. Old rye is quite cleared off, partly for home consumption, and partly for exportatiot. The stock of winter and sum mer barley is small. Old oats are almost entirely cleared off by large exports to England. The oats of last harvest are abundant, and of good quality. Green and grey peas have prodeced a good crop; but, in respect to quality, is not good, and not fit for exportation. The failure of the potatoes causes much distress in some parts of the province. THE lIAGuE, Nov. 14.—Second Chamber of the States General. A royal message was received with fifteen projects of law, and an explanatory memorial relative to the exe cution of article 6of the fundamental law. These projects of law are to be printed and distributed among the Members, and referred to the section. _ _ _ The central section made its report on the project of law for the augmentation of the budget for 1845, and on that modifying article 27 on the law of the stamp duties. The discussion was fixed for Friday the 14th. THE HAGUE, Nov. 14.—1 n the sitting of the Second Cham ber to-day, the central section brought up its report on the project of law for encouraging the importation of provisions, on which the debate was fixed for Tuesday next. The Chamber then proceeded to the debate on the project of law for increasing the budget of the expenditure for 1845, which was unanimously agreed to. The project of law of modify ing the stamp duties was, after a long debate, agreed to, by a majority of 33 to 13. DUTCH FUNDS.—ANSTIADAM, Nov. 15. Money. Bills.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, EIGHT O'CLOCK, P.M.—Up to this hour, and departure of the nail train, there is no in telligence of either the Great Britain or Hibernia steamers. The weather Mrs not permitted any communication from Holyhead by telegraph to-day. MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—We understand that a Privy Council will be held at Windsor Castle on Thursday next, the 20th instant, when a proclamation will be agreed upon for further proroguing Parliament from the 27th to an early day in January, then to meet for the dispatch of business. A letter from Christiansand, in Norway, of the 26th ult., says :—" During the violent tempests which have prevailed on our coast, without interruption, for more than a fortnight, more than eleven pilots have lost their lives in attempting to board vessels in want of their aid." STEAMER SUNK OFF LONDON-BRIDGE.—On Thurs day evening, about five o'clock, while a slight fog was hang ing over the river, the Waterman steamer No. 7, while on its way to Woolwich with the tide, when off Old Swan Wharf, came into collision with the Bee, City and West-end steamer. Both were locked closely together by the paddle wheels; the prow of the Bea appeared to have made a hole in the side of the Waterman, which appeared in a sinking state. The Wedding Ring succeeded in getting about one hundred passengers out of the two steamers, and landing them safely at Swan Wharf. The Waterman afterwards appeared rapidly sinking, and would have carried the Bee down with her, but for the efforts of the Matrimony. The Waterman, about six o'clock, settled down near the pier, and at low water yesterday morning a chain was passed under to raise her, but without effect, and the greater part of the day the travellers by the various steamers were considerably excited by observing merely the funnel of the IN aterman above water. POST-OFFICE REGULATION WITH REFERENCE TO THE TRANSMISSION OF NEWSPAPERS.—Considerable misap prehension has for some time existed with reference to the following point in the practice of the Post-office—the right of newsvendors, and the publiw generally, to write the name of the sender, or the initials of such party, in addition to the address of the person to whom such newspaper is intended to be delivered. It has been thought by many persons that it is perfectly legal to do so, and the practice to a considerable degree has been pursued, to the delay of the body of mails and the annoyance of the authorities, as well as the vexation of the public, whose papers have consequently been charged with postage, according to their weight. Vendors and others, however, may now be aware that such practice is contrary to the regulation of the Post-office ; but as a most valuable con cession, on the part of the Postmaster General, has been made in favour of the bona Ade newspaper dealer (that of the right to have his name and address printed upon the cover), the Miming letter, from the assistant-secretary of the Post-office to a newspaper agent, is subjoined, by which it will be per ceived that the question is now set at rest by official autho rity : " General Post-office, Nov. 13, 1845. " Sir,—l beg to inform you that the enclosed newspaper cannot be forwarded without full-letter postage, in conse qnence of your name and address being written upon the cover. I beg to add that newsvendors are allowed to have their names and addresses printed on the covers of news papers, but that they are not permitted to write them. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " THOMAS LAWRENCE, Assistant Secretary. " Mr. William Lawrence, 12, Great Trinity-lane, City:" General O'Brien, whose name has been previously mentioned in this paper, and extracts from whose pamphlet upon the affairs of the River Plate and the conduct of Roses have been placed before our readers, has now left this country for Monte Video. It is but due to this Gallant Officer to state, that he was in this country a most indefatigable agent. By his means and exertions numerous petitions were pre sented to Parliament on the commerce of the River Plate; and in his interviews with the Foreign-office here, as well as in - France, he was incessant in urging upon the Governments of both countries the necessity for the interference that has now taken place.— Times. OBSERVATION OF SUNDAY IN DISPENSARIES.— O n Friday forenoon Mr. Wakley, M.P., held- an inquest, at the F`fend-at-Hand, Coloanade-mews, Russell. square, on the body of John Herridge, aged sixty-seven, a boot-maker. The deceaseJ died almost suddenly on Sunday evening last, and his wife caned in a private surgeon, though she would rather have consulted Mr. Lloyd, of a neighbouring dispen sary, who had formerly treated deceased successfully; but she could not do so, as he dispensary, she said, was closed to patients on Sundays. The Coroner was surprised at this, and could scarcely credit a proceeding which could be only justified by the cessation of illness on Sundays. A juror con firmed the statement, and said that certain dispensaries afforded relief only on six days in the week, and rested on the Sabbath. Verdict—" Natural death." _ _ . _ . - COLONIAL ACCOUNTS.—A thick blue book has just been issued, containing a report of the Committee appointed in the late session of Parliament to examine into the accounts of the colonial receipts and expenditure, and to report on the evidence, whether a plan could not be introduced to attain in the colonial accounts uniformity, regularity, correctness, and completeness. A good deal of evidence was given before the Committee on the examination of 17 witnesses. The Com mittee sat 12 days to hear the evidence, which evidence ap pears in the book. There were 19 resolutions passed by the. Committee, to be acted upon in the colonies with regard to future accounts, with instructions for their arrangement. The Committee seem to be of opinion that in order:to insure uni formity, an Act of Parliament must be passed on the subject. Major Creagh and the officers of the depot of the 81st Regiment, quartered at Fort Regent, gave a grand ball and supper to the rank, beauty, and fashion of Jersey, on Monday evening, at the theatre, which was splen'idly fitted up for the occasion. The entertainment was given in honour of the Prince of Wales's birth-day. It is rumoured that the Queen is likely in the course of next month to pay a visit to Lord Northwick, at Northwick-park, in which case her Majesty will inspect his Lordship's splendid picture gallery at Thirlestaiu House, in this town.—Cheltenham Examiner.
