totr Ftit*soll WEST INDIA AND MEXICAN MAILS. SOUTIRAIVIPTON, SATURDAY MORNING.—The Royal Mail steamer Trent, Captidn W. Clarke, with the usual Weet India and Mexican mails, arrived here at midnight. This steemer—the first arrival from the Spanish Main and Gulf of Mexico under the new a rrangements—is made due by the Post-office autho rities precisely at the moment she dropped her anchor . in Southampton Water. The Trent brings dates—froin Vera Cruz, Sep tember 6; Tampico, September 4; Chagres, Sep tember 10; Kingston, Jamaica, September 13; De-i rierara, September 11 ; Barbadoes, September 13 St. Thomas, September 17. She brings on freight specie value 271,432 dolls., of Which 30,067 dolls. is for account of the committee of Mexican bondholders. Toe height 114 also comprises '235 serous cochineal: and a general cargo. Private, letters from the city of Mexico mention that the Congress wag in extra session, and the plane of the Government for removing prohibitions, and for a general reduction of the taretf, were being dis-; cussed, but they met with great opposition from the inanutacturers. The overthrow of the present Ade . ne i e ietration ;s considered to be by no means impro 4 Congress in sc cret session was said to have votad 2,500,000 dollars of the American indemnity mone.,-, for the payment of arrears of interest on the foreign debt, the interest in future to be reduced to 3 per cent. per annum. This packet brings later news from California than has been received via New York. The Panama papers state that a dreadful outbreak had taken place iu the Sacramento City between a body of people known as the " squatters" ard the 1' real estate owners." From some feeling of jealousy and dislike which has existed between those parties for some . time, they have at length risen in open warfare to decide their enmity, asd the consequence has been most fatal. Large num ber,: on both sides hare been butchered, among them w ere Mejor Bigelow and the City Assessor. In a supplement published by the Star, it is stated that as the steamer Caroline was gettidg under weigh from San Francisco a dispatch was received on board from the Pacific News-office, stating that an express had just arrived bringing the intelligence that Sacramento City had been reduced to ashes, and the squatters were receiving reinforcements of men from the mines. The stoppage of Mr. Barton Lee, of Sacramento City, with liabilities to the amount of 1,100,000 dolls., is mentioned in the Californian papers. Two more steamers had arrived at Panama from San Francisco with gold dust valued at 1,400,000 dollars. Our advises from Jamaica mention that that island continued to be visited by very heavy rains. In the parish of St. Ann's two lives had been lost by light ning. Governor Grey had refused to pay the lawful assessment on his income, and the parish vestry re fined to remit it. A severe shock of an earthquake had bei,,n felt in Westmoreland, but no damage was done. In D,onerare, the weather during the fortnight had been hot and dry, and favourable to the planters. There is no political news of importance from this colony. Governor Barkly had paid a visit to the northern district of the country on the frontier of Venezuela. Oar Trinidad letter states that cultivation on the sugar estates vi is in full vigour, and the prospects of next year's crops were encouraging. The weather was very propitious. Two vessels bad arrived with captured Africans. A great many of the inhabitants of Trinidad were preparing to leave the island in October to prosecute their search fur gold in the Upate district of Venezuela. In St. Lucia fine showers had fallen. The same intelligence is also received from Antigua and many of the other seiell'islands. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. JAMAiCA, Sarr. l2.—The Flour Market has been very quiet since the rather large operations reported in our last : the speculative demand having almost ceased, :he last arrivals, amounting to 1,700 barrels, still remain on the importers' hands. The opera tionx in Bread Stuffs generally have been very limited, indeed we have scarcely anything new to rcpore, with the exception of a feW sales Of Wattxon's Bread. Meal is in very small request. The tiSh-market has been rather fairly supplied, two cargoes having arrived since the date of our last; the greater part of the late rt.,celpts, if net "all, bad, however, deteriorated in quality in consequence of long passages,; but the marker, at the period of their arrival, having been bare, the trade came forward readily, and good rates ere realised. Much rain continues to fall throughout the island, and the canes look promising. It is highly pro bable that, from the very favourable seasons, large quantities of witive vegetable will soon be brought to market. In some parishes on the Troth side they are so plentiful that yatn9, &c., are being said at as low a rate. at ;.3. G!. pr cXvc.

Mackerel—A few parcels have been moved ; n small quantities at 225. and 245. per barrel, but at the lett t,-.r rate sales are difficult to be effected.

We now learn that the document at the cavalry depot, Maidstone, 'shows that the men recruited for this re giment were lighter even than those of the other Dragoon regiments servieg in India. COMMISSARIAT DErARTmENT.—We regret to hear that Cernmiss3re-General Knowles, in charge of the department in C tnads, has been suffering from severe illness, and returns to England without delay, and is not to wait for the arrival of his successor in the colony. MEDICAL IhrARTMENT.— Staff Assistant-Surgeen Swan, M.D., will embark in the ensuing week for Jamaica. FIRE 'BALLOONS NEAR HER MAJESTY'S DOCK YARDS.—The Admiralty having consulted their soli citor with reference to the perils incurred by the dropping of a fire-balloon in her Majesty's dockyard, Portsmouth, have transmitted to the authorities his report, pointing out the pains and penalties to which parties are liable who indulge in the dangerous pas time'of setting off beyond their control such imflam mable articles.

PEDESTRIANISM.—AMATEIIII MATCH AGAINST TIME. —Tens snatch, which was made shortly after the Good woud Meeting, and upon which several thousand pounds have been pending amongst the sporting fraternity of Manchester, but more immediately with the subscribers to the Manchester Betting Rooms, two memb-r3 of a hick . were the parties who undertook the task of walking from Jf aechester to Goodwood in clogs, 10 minutes under five days, came off last week. The performers were Mr. Meroao and Mr. Bates, the former having taken a bet from Mr. Saxon (also a member) of 240 L to 2101., and the latter having accepted 2001. to 601. from Mr. D. George and Mr. Saxon conjointly. The time of starting was fixed for Tuesday morning, September 24, and the men commenced their journey, starting trom the Post-office Hotel at ten ininutes past twelve o'clock, amidst a vast multitude of people who had assembled for the purpose of witnessing their de parture. Atter many T;eissitudes upon the route they completed their task at twenty-six minutes to ten o'clock on Saturday evening, accomplishing their arduous un dertaking two hours and a quarter within the stipulated time. The distance gone over from Manchester to Goodwood was 234 miles. ATTACHIU I III. GEORGE BROWN, OF AVEBURY. About eight o'clock on Tuesday Mr. George Brown was returning home from Caine in his gig, when, upon reaching the hill at Cherhill he was ac costed by a man at the aide of the road, who asked him to allow him to ride. Mr. Brown refused to ac cede to the man's request, but at the same time asked him if he was one of the police. To this he made no reply, but persisted in getting into the gig, saying "I want a ride, and a ride I'll have." Scarcely had he uttered the words, When another man, whom Mr. Brown had not before seen, rushed forward and seized the horse's head. Mr. Brown at once perceived the object of the fellows, and jumping up in his gig, began to defend himself with his whip (the only weapon he bad), lashing first one, then the other, and then his horse. The tightness with which the man held the horse's head almost over turned the gig ; but with another cut or two with the whip the animal began to plunge so violently that the fellow was knocked down, and the horse ran off, breaking one of the traces. Fortunately Mr. Brown was able to keep his seat, and it was not burg before he reached Beckhampton. He immediately went to Mr. 'Wentworth's, but finding that gentleman from home, he called on Mr. Pinniger, who with a friend (Mr. Cook), at once accompanied him in pur suit of the ss,allants ; and the party were shortly afterwards joined by Mr. Wentworth, Mr. Treen, and Mr. Brown's two sons. Fancying that the fel lows might have crossed to the Devizes road, they heat across the down to Shepherd's Shore, where they fell in with Mr. Perry, -of Devizes, who told them that he had met two men answering Mr. Brown's description on the road - about midway between Shepherd's Shore and Beckhampton, going in the latter direction. On hearing this they at once went back to Beckhampton, but they saw nothing of the parties on the road. They had not, however, been at Beckhampton more than ten minutes, and were just holding a consultation as SUN, to the course they should next take, when they heard a whistle on the down in the direction of Shepherd's Shore. Mr. Thomas Brown (one of Mr. George Brown's sons), with three of the party, at once set off towards the spot whence the sound came, and about a quarter of a mile on the road they met two men, whom they brought back to Mr. Brown, who immediately identified them as the parties who had stopped him. On searching them, the man who had attempted to get into Mr. Brown's gig was found to have concealed about him a pistol, loaded with powder and ball, and a cap on, besides a store of am munition, consisting of balls, powder and shot, with a mould for casting bullets, and a dinner knife. Both the fellows were yesterday taken to Marlborough, and fully committed for trial by Sir E. Williams. One of them stated that he belonged to Bristol ; the other said he came from Paddington. We are happy to say neither of them belong to this county. — I Devizes Gazette. WHAT THEY DO IN GLASGOW. The Scotch manufacturing towns are more diversi fied in their vocations than the English. Dundee and the Forfershire towns are, indeed, given over to fl Ix and linens ; and we have our devotees amongst urban communities to woollens; but on the whole, Scotch towns entertain, like Aberdeen, many different trades. Glasgow and the neighbourhood, and its dependencies, drive all the trades that we have mentioned ; and do them to great advantage ? It would be no credit to say that many things were done here, if few or none of them were done welt ; but Glasgow combines avowedly the rare merit of doing everything, and performing many things to more advantage than any other locality. The marine engines, steam and sailing vessels of the Clyde, stand, or rather sail fast in all waters. The iron manufactories of Lanarkshire and Ayrshire have sprung into an enlarged existence more rapidly than any branch of business in any other part of tbe country. We have a fair share in the general pro duction of cotton goods, especially those of the .finer descriptions. The cotton printing works of the city and its vicinity transact a large business, and must have acquired a fair position, both in colours and de signs. Tne largest chemical works in the world are situ ated within the city. Soine of the finest flax spinning in the country is done within the municipality. - The most extensive brewery in Scotland, sending its pro duce to the most distant quarters, belongs to Glas gow. And in works of a smaller class, there is an astonishing degree of ingenuity displayed, and many wonderful processes accomplished, in the production of their manufactures, with which the public, genee' rally, have little acquaintance. , The various applications of steam ,in its practical nativity, form alone a source of deep interest to those who have not formed a general acquaintance with our public works. Then• Glasgow comprehends, in some measure, the Clyde, and is in timately and inseparably connected with the trade of Greenock, the ship-building of Dumbarton, the busi ness of Port Glaigow, the shawls of Paisley, the car pets of Kilmarnock, the woollens of Hawick and Stirling, and the linens of Dunfermline. The employ ment emanating from Glasgow extends over a wider range of country than that arising from any other manu facturing town. Wehave met it far beyond Perth, nearly a hundred miles to the north and east; and again so far beyond Belfast as,tii make two hundred miles to the south and, west. A business of this character, affecting the condition of the inhabitants over a wide and populous range of country, must be a matter of very general interest. As we are to have soon an exbibitition of the industry of all nations, we probably could not occupy part of our columns better than, before it occurs, drawing up a sketch, not-1n a scientific but a general form, of our own home industry. The conquests achieved over matter, the changes effected in its cha racter and qualities, the complicated nature of the operations involved in these changes, the interlacing of the interests of all nations by the intermixture of the products of all countries exhibited in our fabrics, the beauty or utility of the results, the vast capital in volved in their accomplishment, and the wages paid for effecting them, are all objects of great, and in their various combinations—to us of extreme interest.— Daily Mail. REMOVAL OF PAUPERS.—According to a return to Parliament (yesterday issued) the number of paupers re moved by order of justices in England and Wales in the five years ending 1819 was 51,941, of whom 29,079 were Irish and 1,4+34 Scotch paupers. Last year the number of paupers removed under the order of justices was 13,867. At Liver. pool, in the five yean., no fewer than 27,147, principally Irish, paupers were removed. • - VIENNA, SEPT. 27.—A terrible accident occurred on Saturday night last in a small village called Weiss, not far from Grez, whereby a great number of lives were lost. The village in question, which is also called " Our Saviour on the Meadow," is a 1-vourite piece of pilgrimage at th s time of the year, and was more than ordinarily full on the day in question. The weary pilgrims had all retired to rest, and were sound asleep, when suddenly a fire broke out beneath a hay-loft, in which were a couple of hundred persons at the time. More than half of them are said to have perished in the liamees, which speedily communi cated with the adjoining houses, and a high wind blowing at the time half the village was burnt down, and many more persons perished. The exact number is not yet known. POLIC' TELLIGENCE. M HOUSE.ANSION- Isaac Williams was brought before A!derman Finn's, charged upon suspicion of having been concerned with Denham, who was examined on 'Wednesday last, i❑ the desperate assault and robbery committed upon Mr. Cannon, of Aldersgate-street, on the 20th of September. There was a second charge against the prisoner. George Trew, of the City police, said—Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, in consequence of informa tion which I received, I went, accompanied by Haydon, to the house of the prisoner, in a street in Horton Old•town, and saw the prisoner there. I told him I came to apprehend him on s u s pici o n o f being concerned, with two other persons, in attacking and robbing Mr. Cureton, of Aldersgate-street, on Friday, the 20th of September. He said, " I know nothing about it. 1 was at the Britannia Theatre that evening with my wife." I have since seen Mr. Cureton and several others who have seen the pri ,soner since his apprehension, and they know nothing of him. I have a further charge against the prisoner of having in his possession several articles of which he was not able to give a satisfactory account. I searched the place, and found a plated silver teapot, two gold mourning rings, one of which had engraved on the inside the name, " Robert Smith, 21st February, 182.5," and on the outside, in gold letters, the words, "In memory of." A watch, having no name but the number 5,580, two pairs of earrings, a gold Albert chain, a gold key, half • a dczen of wnitehandled knives and forks, and chisels, gimblets, and other things. Behind a chest of drawers in one of the rooms I found a sort of life-preserver. The witness here produced an instrument, which was loaded at the top, and elastic from the top piece to the bottom. The prisoner—That is a stick which I bought at a public sale. I carry it to walk with. Trew—The, prisoner is known to a mettopolitan sergeant, who is here. Sergeuut Pubost, of the N division of the metro politan force, said on the 12th of December, 1843, the prisoner was in my custody upon the charge of stealing eight farthings from a till in a shop, and was transported for seven years. He was at that time 21 years of age. The prisoner—That's right. I don't deny it. I was, when a very young man, unfortunately, convicted of the offence. I was misled then ; but I have since that time acted in a very different manner, and I was, in consequence of my good conduct, sent to the coast of Spain instead of the usual place, and was dis charged at,the end of six years. In Spain I fell in with a woman who had some property, and I returned home determined to lead a proper life. I have done so, I assure your Lordship ; and I have been living industriously since my return. I bought all those things, as I can prove, from the parties of whom I purchased them. Trew said the prisoner stated, upon being appre hended, that he had bought the teapot in Petticoat lane. Alderman' FINNIS—It can be of no prejudice to you to be remanded for a few days, so that you may be able to satisfy me that you became possessed of these things in au honest way. The prisoner—l can send to the parties in the country from whom I made several of the purchases, and show that they were all honestly paid for. I have'never done wrong since I returned to my native country. Alderman Penis then discharged the prisoner as to the accusation of having been concerned in the attack upon, and robbery of Mr. Cureton, but re manded him up on the statement of the officer, that there was a brought forward w i t h res pect to the goods found on possibility that evidence could be speedily his premises. GUILDHALL. George Edwins, alias Sheffield Beater, compositor, Anne Ectivins, his wife, and James Clarke, were placed at the bar before Alderman Challis, charged with loitering about St. Paul's churchyard and Cheap side, with intent to commit felony. Police-constable, 21., stated that he was on duty in Cheapside about a quarter to ten o'clock on Thursday night, when he saw the prisoners near Bow-church, loitering about in a very suspicious manner. Know ing two of the prisoners as the associates of thieve!, he continued watching their movements. Shortly after he saw the female prisoner stop a gentleman at the corner of Bow-churchyard, and take him with her to the back of the church. H', however, repulsed all attempts at familiarity on her part, and left her very abruptly. She stopped several parties afterwards, but invariably selected old and apparently infirm gentle men as being more likely to full an easy prey to her dishonest intentions. During the intervals between the stopping of the various gentlemen, both the male prisoners communicated with the female prisoner. Being aware that a great many robberies bad been committed lately under very similar circumstances, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1850. he took all three of the pasties into custody on sus picion. He had bad Edwins an 1 his wife in custody on a similar charge about three years ago, when they were sentenced to two months' imprisonment. Brett, 13, corroborated witness's statement, and added further, that he had been watching the move ments of the prisoners for some time previous, and had seen Edwins pushing his wife towards gentlemen as they were passing. From a statement made by the prisoner Clarke, it appeared that he was in employ at a very good amount of wages, and had been out rather late on the evening in question, looking at a fire that occurred on the other side of the water. . Alderman CHALLIS said the evidence was not of a sufficiently criminating nature against Clarke, and be would therefore discharge him. With regard to the other two, he would remand them to ascertain more about their general character during the time since they were last in custody. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A young man named Cooper was brought up for final examination, charged with having uttered several forged betting-tickets, with intent to defraud the parties who advanced money upon them. Mr. Clifford, landlord of the Three Doves public house, Berwick-street, said on the 26th of May the prisoner came into his house, and after some conver sation about the Derby, induced him to lend him 61. on the security of what purported t o b e a b e tting ticket, issued by a betting man named Davis, at Searle's public-house, Salisbury-st ree t, St ran d. Wit-, ness having his suspicions excited soon after the pri soner left the house, he went to Searle's, and was told the ticket was a forgery. _ A niece of Mr. Searle's said she formerly attended to betting matters for Mr. Davis, who at that time kept a betting-book at the house. The writing on the ticket was not in her handwriting. Mr. Wontner said he was prepared to show a guilty knowledge on the part of the prisoner that the ticket was forged, by bringing forward evidence to prove that this was not the only transaction of the same kind in which the prisoner had been engaged. Mr. Davis, for the prisoner, cross-examined Mr. Clifford, with the view to show that the Si. had been parted with in the way of a bet. Mr. Clifford ad mitted that a bet of Si. had been made, but repeated he had lent the Si. on the faith of the ticket proffered to him being a genuine betting ticket. Mr. William Davie, of Swinton-street, Gray's Inn road, said he was in independent circumstances. He betted on horse-rices, kept a betting-book, and when he made bets he gave a card, but not in the form of the ticket now produced. The ticket was a forgery. On cross-examination, witness said, in the early part of the year, all the family of the Searles had au thority to issue tickets in his absence. Mr. Searle, the landlord, was called, and he said the ticket was not issued by him nor by any one of his family. Mr. Arthur Reveck, landlord of the Shakspere's Head, Little Russell-street, said in April last the pri soner called on him, and after making a bet of 2/., left him a ticket as security for the 21., which witness paid him at the time. The ticket was pronounced a forgery. Mr. Davis said he could not swear that the ticket had not been issued on his account. Could only say he had no betting-book for that race at the Windsor Castle public-house, from whence the ticket purported to be issued, at the time the race was run. Tne prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully committed. LAMBETH. Henry Taylor, Henry Toplis, and Jane Conville, were placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, for further examination, on a c harge of being concerned in an extensive robbery at the dwelling-house of Mr. George Stiff, proprietor of the Weekly Times and London Journal, in Streatham-place, Brixton. Mr. Parry, the barrister, attended to prosecute, and Mr. Games appeared on behalf of Taylor and Toplis. _ _ _ From the statement of Mr. Parry it appeared that the robbery had been craftily and cunningly con trived, and that property, consisting of gold and silver plate, and a gold box, amounting to over 1001., were carried away. It seemed that the prosecutor (Mr. Stiff) has a printing establishment close to his country residence, at which the London Journal is composed and printed, and that at this establishment the pri soner Taylor and Toplis had been engaged us com positors but a fortnight before the robbery. Toplis had been discharged. On the evening of Tuesday week a young man knocked at the front door, and 'upon its being answered, and told that it was the residence of Mr. Stiff, he said that a serious acci dent had occurred at Mr. Stiff's shop in the Strand; that a heavy weight had fallen on the young woman there, and that her sister, if she wished to find her alive, must hasten there as fast as she could. Fanny Ploughman, the house keeper of Mr. Stiff, and the person thus addressed, believing the young man's representation, and having no person in the house at the time, locked all the doors carefully, and by the aid of a cab got to the Strand as quickly as possible. Oa entering her mas ter's publishing establishment, she saw her sister, and was satisfied that she had been hoaxed, but on her re tnrn to Brixton she discovered that, during her ab sence, the house had been entered by thieves, all the rooms ransacked, and about 201. in gold and silver, a gold watch, several articles of plate, and a gold snuffbox carried away. Suspicion was attached to the male prisoner, from Taylor having been identified as one of three persons who were seen in front of Mr. Stiff's house about the time of the robbery, and his companion Toplis alto strongly resembling one of them. A stronger suspicion attached to Taylor from his telling a fellow-workman, some time before the robbery, that it was his intention to plant Costello (a discharged compositor) and others in the house of his master. It was further proved that Taylor, on the Monday after the robbery, had sent a lad in the em ploy of Mr. Stiff, to post a letter, addressed to Cos tello, at his lodgings in Parker -street, Drury-lane, though on the same day he denied all knowledge as to the place of residence of Costello. The only sus picion attached to the female is that of her living with Costello, and a print belonging been found at her lodgings. to Mr. Stiff having On the part of Toplis, Mr. Games called a respect able-looking female named Blackmore and her daughter, both of whom swore positively that on the cvening of the robbery that perso n had been in their presence in the Southwark-bridge -road, from 5 to 7 o'clock. Witnesses were also called to prove an alibi on the part of Taylor, but their testimonynot was so perfect innocence of both of his satis factory,theitccleads ia th te e vi p c l i a c c i e ty he of A w i a r. s stitrs alleged to be at was in Mr. Games, upon the strength of the evidence pro-- q t u h e e sted their imm ediate premises. on the contrary, urged c d l u iAc c ci e r d ts. „ urged psoadrrrye, discharge. e ngaged with a further re. expectation of much stronger evi dence mand, on the assertion of Inspector Ernmerson and the him in the inquiry, on a future day. The Learned Gentleman also urged the remand on another ground, and that was, that from all the evidence, it was quite palpable that the robbery must have been that they were in committed by a person perfectly acquainted with the house. In proof of this, he mentioned that a gold box, presented to Air. Stiff by the persons employed by him, as a mark of esteem and respect, and upon which he had set such a value, as to offer a reward of 501. for its recovery, had been taken from inside a pianoforte, where it had been placed for better a?curit3'. Mr. ELLIOTT did not feel justified in further detain ing Toplis or the female prisoner, but remanded Tay lor to a future daY EXTRAORDINARY SEIZURE of STOLEN PLATE and JEWELLERY in the CI 7'Y. A very remarkable seizure of stolen property of the most valuable description was effected yesterday by the officers of the Detective Police Force, on the. premises of a gold and silver refiner, hitherto having gy na med Richards , of Bootle, near a high charact e r i n the trade , and ca r rying on exten sive busin ess i n t h e h ea rt of the city of London. Within the p as t f e w days a robbery of plate to a very large amount from the residence of a Roman Catholic cl erg ym an Liverpool,' h as been reported t o the author ities at Scotland-y ar d , who, on b e ing made acquainted with the circu ms t ances at once placed the matter in the hands of Inspector Lund and Sergeants Whither and Shaw, three active officers of the detective force,' for , investigati on , T he result o f the inquiries made by these officers was a vi s it on their par t, about noo n on Wednesday last to the extens ive premises of Mr. Thomas Charles Si rre ll, go ld and silver refiner, of 53 and 54, Barbican.on entering the shop Mr. U b, r. i,u n d that tol d morning. m r Lund at on ce di recttd hi s brother officers to seize two large p ac k ages which were lying upon the coun , p ter, and at th e same moment, a dd r essing Mr. Sirrell, he inquir e d w h ether he had rece i v ed a letter from Liverpool had, and at once handed a letter ove r to Mr. Lund for his insp ect i on. . S A ir f t r e e r l 1 1‘r gtihlaa.ntell it at its contents, as his unpleasant duty to inf orm him that he must cons ider himself in custody on susp i c i on of receiving sto l e n goods. The two p ac k ages re f erred to w ere then opened, and their contents found to consist o f t h e produce of two robb er i es recently effected in t h e ne ighbourhood of Liverp oo l , one of them being that o f M r . Richards, of Bootl e . M r. Lund having satisfied himself' thus Sirrell w replied that he far, now l e f t the house and premises in charge of Sergeants Whicher and Shaw, and himself proceeded to the Lothbury offices of the Electric Telegraph Company. Arriving there, he availed himself of the information gained from the letter handed to him by Mr. Sirrell, and telegraphed to Mr. Dowling, the chief of the Liverpool police, requesting that he would immediately apprehend two persons named Macaulay and Maguire, whose addresses • and description were given. Mr. Lund then returned to Barbican, and by his direction Mr. Sirrell was conveyed in custody to the King-steeef station of the police force; in Westminster. Within a s h or t h a lf h our telegraphic intelligence was received in London, from Mr. Dow ling, to the effect that both Macaulay and Maguire were in custody. It was also suggested that Mr. Sirrell might be sent down to Liverpool, to be brought up in custody with the supposed thieves on the following day. The Commissioners of Police having been consulted, considered this to be the best arrangement, and Mr. Sirrell was accordingly sent down in custody on Wednesday night. Meantime officers had been left in charge of his premises, and a very superficial examination of the stock contained in the two houses disclosed consider able proof of the nature of his dealings. An immense quantity of plate bearing crests and cyphers, and evi dently stolen property, was found in various places, and no less than five crucibles were at work when the officers entered. The number of watches discovered is almost incredible—upwards of 300 of them have the cures torn off, and only the works are remaining. Among the others are several costly gold watches with seals and appendages complete, and altogether the amount of propsrty supposed to be stolen, which has been taken possession ot; is said to exceed in value any seizure since the days of Ikey S' , 'jmons. In the course of Thursday and yesterday, all the stock of plate and jewellery was removed by the police from the premises, and taken to Scotland-yard, where it will remain for the present for the purpose of iden tification. Mr. Sirrell has been in business in the same shop for 37 years. He is a widower, and has only one child, a daughter, aged about 20 years. His business was carried on in a most liberal style, and he always employed three shopmen. The prisoners were brought up before the county magistrates at Liverpool on Thursday, and, after hearing the formal charge, the magistrates remanded them until Tuesday next. The very complete manner in which the officers of the detective force, with Mr. Lund at their head, per formed the difficult duty intrusted to them, has given great satisfaction to all parties. THE FRIMLEY. MURDER. GUILDFORD, Fareaese—This day was appointed for the examination at Guildford of the prisoners Smith, Her wood, and Jones who were charged with the murder of the Rev. Mr. Holiest, at Frimley-grove, on the night of Friday last. Since the last exami nation a fourth person has been taken into custody, a man named Samuel Harwood, first cousin to the other prisoner of that name. The examination on Tuesday last, which was held at Frimley, stood adjourned over till two o'clock to day at Guildford, but from some unexplained cause the local magistrates did not arrive in the town till three. A short time previous to that hour two of the prisoners were brought through the main streets handcuffed, to the police station in the centre of the town, and in the course of half an hour after wards the other two were brought in the same manner. They were low set men, not at all remarkable for muscular power or wearing the look of assassins, though it was easy:to be seen from their physiognomy that their lives had been spent in restless ruffianism. They were dressed in light cord jackets and trowsers, and they all wore caps. The appearance of the pri soners in the streets of Guildford caused an extra ordinary commotion in the little town ; the shops and houses were deserted, and a great crowd gathered in front of the police-station and the Town-hall, among wham the one theme of conversation was the crime with which the prisoners stood charged, and the pro bability of it being brought home to' them. Soon after three o'clock, Air. George Best, of East bury House, Compton • Mr. J. Moore Molyneux, of Loseley-park, Guildf o rd; and Mr. George Gibson, of Bradston Brook, also near Guildford, arrived. Ap plication was made by the representatives of the press for admission to report the proceedings, when Mr. Rest informed them that the examination for that day was to be merely formal • that all that would be done would be to receive the deposition of Mr. Hollington, the superintendent of the Guildford police as to the fact of the murder and burglary having been com mitted, and to receive his request for a further remand till additional evidence could be procured. Under these circumstances, he did not see that there was any use in the representatives of the press being pre sent. He and his colleagues retired accordingly ; but soon afterwards the representatives of the press were called into a small closet of the magistrates office, where so small was the accommodation, that the pri soners, the magistrates, the constables, and the re porters, were all huddled together, with scarcely the possibility of standing room being found for each ; when the deposition of Superintendent Hollington was read over to the effect we have already stated, and the examination was adjourned till Saturday, the 12th inst., when it is to be hoped that more accom tnodation for all parties will be provided. The pri soners were accordingly remanded till that day. We understand the reason of the examination being adjourned was the serious illness of Mrs. Holiest, wnose evidence must of course be of the utmost im portance its the case, but who has received so severe a shock from the occurrence that she was unable to attend. We have already mentioned that a fourth person, Samuel Harwood, is in custody. In the ab sence of any authentic information, we can only give the rumours that are floating about as the probable cause for this step having been taken. It appears that on Thursday forenoon, a keeper in the employment of Mr. Russell, a gentleman of property resident near Frimley, on going his rounds found two masks in a plantation very near the place where the half-emptied bottles of wine with broken bread and meat were found on a former day. Not far from there the top of the pocket commu nion cup which the Rev. Gentleman was in the habit of using was discovered. The masks were merely pieces of green baize, with holes cut for the eyes and mouth, awl strings of narrow white riband to fasten them round the' head. Now it happened that war rants had been issued to search the houses of the re lations of the prisoners ; and in the house of Samuel Harwood a piece of green baize was found, which it is said corresponds with the masks. In consequence of this and some other suspicious circumstances, Samuel Harwood was lodged in custody on Thurs• day night. A fifth person connected with the prisoners had also been apprehended, though not on this charge—a girl named Mary Ann Croucher, with whom Levi Harwood cohabited. Her lodgings were searched about the same time as Samuel Harwood's, and several duplicates of pawned property were found in her posses sion. Suspicion was raised that this property had been stolen from a house at Chichester, where a robbery took place a short time ago, and a corre spondence took place with the authorities of that city on the subject. The girl called at the lock-up this morning to see Harwood, just as Superintendent Hollington was in the act of reading a letter which had arrived from Chichester, requesting that the party might be detained. She was; of course, at once given into custody. What additional evidence has been suffered to trans pire is of a very slight character. It may be remem bered that Mrs. Holiest, when examined. before the coroner on Tuesday last, stated that the burglars were dressed in light clothes, and that they appeared to be in the attire of mountebanks at a fair. It was also mentioned on that occasion that at the door of the garden there was a mark as if a man bad fallen down in a wet slippery part. Now it appears that on the right sleeve of Levi Harwood's shirt are marks of wet gravel, which has led to the supposition that if he was the party he must have either had off his coat, or more probably that all the parties had their shirts over their ordinary dresses, which would bear out Mrs. Hollest's impression of the burglars being dressed like mountebanks. It is also said that one of Har wood's great toes is severely lacerated, as if it had come in violent collision with some hard substance. Another scintilla of evidence is that a fustian jacket found in Samuel Harwood's cottage is known to have he'en worn by - Levi Harwood when he left home on Friday evening, but when he returned on Saturday he wore another coat. Facts like these are so trivial in themselves as to seem scarcely worth recording; but they may come, when connected with other mat ters, to draw with them important consequences. All four prisoners reside at Guildford, and the im mediate ground of their apprehension was the fact that they were all absent from their homes on Friday night. Suspected before from their notorious cha racters, this circumstance naturally increased the sus picion, and their apprehension was at once decided on. Since they have been in' prison they have all conducted themselves with propriety, 'except Smith, who manifests considerable impatience at his confine ment. The following is a more accurate account of the manner in which the three' prisoners ac counted for their absence from home on Friday • night than has yet been 'published. Harwood said he left Guildford on Friday afternoon at five o'clock, and, after walking as far as Ripley, got a lift on a tilted cart into London, and was set down at Vauxhall at midnight ; that he then walked to a coffee-shop in the Waterloo-road, where he sat for some hours, and then went to London-bridge to see if he could obtain work. Failing in this, and also in his endeavours to discover a sister, to see whom he states that he had come to London, he returned to Guildford by the halt-past five o'clock train from Lon don-bridge. Smith states that he went to Kingston in a fish cart on Friday afternoon, and tried to get work at laying water pipes; but not succeeding, he met a friend, with whom he went to Londor, and visited the Surrey Theatre at half price. Jones says that he was out on the Downs, near Guilford, all the Friday night, watching some snares which he had set for rabbits. It will be .remembered that the priso ners were locked up together in Farnham on Sunday night, which afforded them an opportunity, if they wished it, for concocting a consistent line of defence; but, notwithstanding this, it is said that all these stories will be more or less disproved on the next examination. The funeral of Mr. Holiest is appointed to • take placc. on Zi,..nby. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, OCT. 4.—The arriva's continue on a liberal scale, and the business in most amides is noose• quently limited. Wheat is is to 2s per quirter cheap( r. tats ; 1 ,-d per stone, and shelling is per load lower. Barley of inferior quality difficult to sell, whilst fine samples are in demand at last we.des prices.

The refined market is steady, but scarcely so. active as cf late. Raw only in moderate demand.— Bristol Mercury. EXETER, OCT. 4.—Cattle—The market to-day has been inanimate, and last week's prices have nut been exceeded, although the supply has been but moderate. Fat beef can hardly be quoted above 85 per score for the best; thy current figure has been 76 6d to 8s per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 4i 6d t) 64 6d; geese, 4s 6d to 6s each; ducks, 3s 6cl to ss; fowls, 23 6d to 33 9d per couple; pheasants, 5s 6d; partridges, 2s 9d to 3s per brace; hares, 23 6.1 to 3s; roasters, 4s 6d to 5s 6d each; rabbits, Is to 2+ per couple; eggs, 16 to 18 for Is; butter, lld per lb. Corn Exchange—There have been a good many samples shown, but up to this hour but little busi ness has been transacted, the growers refusing to sell at a lower rate than last week, which the millers; unless much in want, refuse to give. Prices under these cir cumstances, will probably range from 5s to 5s Gd for` good samples of new wheat, and from 5s 4d to 5s 9,1 for old. In foreign wheat there is no alteration, and but very little doing; red French is quoted 41s to 425, and white Belgian, 46s per quarter. In new barley scarcely anything is doing, old for malting is worth from 3s 3d to 3s 6d per bushel. New oats is 9d to 2s ditto; old ditto 2s 3d to 2s sd. Fine flour 305 to 32s per sack of 2801bs. NEWBURY, OCT. 3.—The quantity of wheat pitched in our marktt is extraordinarily large, of which only a small portion consists of the old crop. The new is not so good as of late, and a good deal is extremely thin and blighted; besides, the condition is very greatly deterio rated by the late rains. The demand to-day for any but fine old and selected new is extremely languid, at slightly reduced rates; whilst other descriptions are al most unsaleable, although offering at a decline of 2s to 3s per quarter. We have some new barley in offer, the quality of which is mostly indifferent, and unfit for malting purposes. The rates obtainable are is to 2s per quarter lower than last week. In beans, oats, and peas, with a small supply, we have but little passing, at un altered rates. _ LIVERPOOL, OCT. 4.—There was a better feeling in our grain market this morning. The business in wheat was not large, but very full prices were obtained. Some extensive sales of the recently arrived American flour transpired, at about the following rates.—For Western Canal, warm, and with all faults, 19s 3d up to 21s, sour 18s, and coarse quality at 16s per barrel; perfectly sweet WeA,ern Canal flour brought 22s to 22. 6d, and Philadelphia 23s 6d to 24s per barrel. There was not the least change in the value of oats, barley, beans, and peas. Indian corn fully supported the price of Tuesday. BANGOR, OCT. 4.—Our market to-day was but thinly attended. There was a good supply cf grain samples. Wheat (very dull of sale), best home growth, was offered at 39s to 41s; barley, I9s to 21s; oats, 13s to 15s. Oat meal, 23s per 2401b5. DENBIGH, OCT. 2.—The market this day was small, and very little business is said to have been transacted. Wheat from 12s to 13s per 16Slbs; barley was more in demand, from 7s to Ss per 1471b5; oats trona 4: 6d to 6s per 10.51 b!. MOLD, OCT. 2.—Wheat, 12s; barley, 83 per quarter; potatoes, 3ln for 11b.

GLOUCESTER GREAT ANNUAL FAIL— The great Barton fair has been held during the present week at Gloucester, but has proved rather a fht affair. The cattle market on the first day was pretty well attended, and there was a fair supply of most descriptions of stock, but pat ticularly of sheep; indeed there were consider ably more sheep penned than at any previous fair at Gloucester. Trade, however, appeared to rule dull, and late prices were barely maintained. Down ewes from 23s to 281; lambs, 15s to 18s per head. In store cattle but little business was transacted, and that at a consider able reduction in price. Fat beef was worth from 4 to sd, uccording to size and quality; and mutton from 54 to sid. Fat pigs of from 10 to 12 score each, 7s 6d per score; larger ones could not be sold, as the importations from America render fat English bacon unsaleable. In the horse fair there were but tea , prime animals either of the nag or cart kind, but those shown obtained good prices. There were a great number of Welsh colts, and many of them were sold. The pleasure fair has been well kept up throughout the week, and the mop or sta tute fair for hiring agricultural servants was very nu merously attended by servants " out of place." This, however, can hardly be regarded as a sign of the times, seeing that most of the farm servants Rill only hire from year to year, in order that they may not be debarred from the pleasure of these meetings. THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. LONDON, THURSDAY.—The impocts of wool into London during the week ending to-day, have been 2,123 bales, of which 658 were from Algiers, 208 from Spain, 205 from Mogadore, 305 from Germany, 618 from Alexandria, and the rest from Italy, &C. The market is very steady for wools generally. LEEDS, OCT. 4.—Sales of deep grown combing wools are not quite so brisk as recently, but there has been rather more inquiry for fine combings. Prices are firm. We do not report any alteration in clothing wools. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 2.—A steady demand for all kinds of foreign wools at stiff rates. Scotch is rather dull. The imports are 557 East India, 846 Lisbon (principally coarse), 130 Oporto, 34 Malta, 33 Gibraltar, and 92 Alexandria. TRADE OF LERns.—Except for heavy winter goods, of which a very light supply was brought to the Cloth halls, the markets were dull on both Saturday and Tuesday. 'Prices are a shade higher since the late wool sales, and the stocks continue very light in the manu facturers' hands. Business has been pretty brisk since 1 this day week in the warehouses, more particularly in heavy winter stock, but the foreign houses are doing much less than of late. BRADFORD, OCT. 3.—Wools —The operations in the wool trade still rule on the finer sorts, for which very high prices are sought, and the supply not abundant. For low and middling qualities, the spinners supplied themselves at the neighbouring markets and fairs, so that they are yet well-stocked, and they are not free to buy at prices sought by the staplers. Noils and broker are without any change. Yarns—There is no less yarn going into actual consumption, nor are any sto cks found in the spinner's hands, but there is no disposition to buy for distant delivery, as the home trade is usually less active, and the manufacturers are buying for present consumption. For shipping there is the same demand as there has been for some time back, and yarns suitable for Russia are wanted for this month's delivery. Fine num bers on spools are fully as firm as last month; in other numbers there is little difference. Pieces—The demand for goods suitable for the autumn commenced some. what earlier this season, and at no time has October come in with so generally a small supply of goods, in both the manufacturers and the merchants' hands. This indicates a healthy state of trade, with an absence of speculation, and all are san guine of a go o d tra d e throug hout the winter. In prices there is no alteration. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, OCT. 3.—The market WaS dull, and very little business appeared to be doing, but prices were steady. The extent of contracts still to run, however, both in cloth and yarns, keeps stocks from ac cumulating very considerably, and producers are thus, enabled the better to command she present rates in the face of a slack demand. The demand frr doubled yarns and numbers, suitable for Russia, generally, is declining as the ssason draws to a close, but the Germans are operating to Same extent, and. the Levant houses appear to be doing more business. India houses buy sparingly, and there•is great caution exercised by the country trade. MINING INTELLIGENCE. COPPER ORES SOLD AT POOL, OCT. 3.

It was nearly half past six o'clock before the Chairman was able to get the result of the poll, which he reported to be as fol lows :—On the amendment to the second resolution 64 persons gave 5,232 personal votes, and 248 per sons gave 23,980 proxies, in favour of the amendment; and 93 persons gave 8,240 personal votes, and 580 persons gave 13,786 . proxies against it. There was consequently a majority of 7,186 votes in favour of the (directors') amendment, and he would now de clare that amendment carried. On the, amendment to the third resolution the numbers stood thus ;-55 persons gave' 4,563 votes, and 267 persons gave 24,479 proxies for the amendment, and 74 persons gave 6,208 votes, and 567 persons gave 13,457 proxies against the amendment. The amendment was there fore carried by a majority of 9 397 votes. Mr. A. WATKIN said, though there was a majority for the proposition of the old board, it was a majority of property only, and, looking at the large majority of persons giving both personal votes and proxies against them, it was evident this question could not be consi dered as definitively settled ; he wished, therefore, with a view to ending this contest and restoring peace to the company, to offer a suggestion. HIS suggestion was to further increase the board to twenty- five members, and to add the names of Messrs. Henry Houldsworth, W. Rawson, W. Evans, F. Alowatt, M.P., and T. B rog d en . H e propose d Mr. Houldsworth because that gentleman had rendered before such valuable services to.the company—(Loud applause) —and he thought the great personal feeling tnanifested by the shareholders in favour of the other gentlemen was a sufficient justification fur offering their naines.—(ilear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN declined to put the motion, as One not coining within the limits of the notice under which the meeting was convened. After some brief formal business, and thanks to the scrutineers and chairman, - the meeting adjourned. OUTH - EASTERN.—This company's continental steamers from Ramsgate and Margate have superseded those of the Belgian Government, which were discon tinued on the ]st of this month. WEST CORNWALL.—The contracts for the line frout Hayle to Penzance having been let, the works are to be pressed on so as to complete them by May. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON:" The branch line of this railway, extending from Alr bott's-wood to Worcester, the survey of which by the Government inspector we reported last week, is to he opened for public traffic this day (Saturday). The works have this week been further inspected by the engineer, Mr. Brunel, and everything connected with one set of rails is complete. For the present s until the double hne of rails is ready for traffic, the traffic will be carried on on one line of rails ; the second line will be ready for use in about a week. Tne distance of the Worcester station from the centre of the c ity will render it necessary to use omnibuses, and consi - derable rivalry is expected amongst the omnibus prod irietors and innkeepers, from which the public mai probably reap some advantage. SOUTII WALxS.—A rumour having been put int° circulation to the effect that a portion of this line be• tween Swansea and Llansatnlet, where there is A deep cutting, is to be closed during the winter on account of the falls of earth which take place there, an official contradiction of the rumour has been put forth. An excursion train from Chepstow to Swap' sea and back, last Monday, conveyed upwards of 1,300 passengers at reduced fares. COLCHESTER AND STOUR VALLEY.—The adjourned meeting of this company, was to have been h e ld et Colchester on Thursday, but in consequence o f the directors not being prepared to furnish to the s hare' holders the full accounts of the undertaking, which were promised at the last meeting, it was further tid' journed to the first week in November. - - - RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.
