THE TRAGEDY at CAMBERWELL. (THIS DAY.) An inquest on the bodies of Anthony Fawcett, and his t..yo cuildrce, aged 19 months, and Emily aged five and is ri,irveers : wos 1.C1:1 to day before Mr. Carter, the coroner Er Snrrey, at tue Tavern, 'Wyndham-road, Cainheeweli. On inquiry at the scene of the dreadful occurrence it Was useertainfd that the surviving child, Mary Ann F awcett, wa , i mp , oe i : .g, though net 3et entirely out of danger. Mr;. from excitement and is more cempes,d in ie r The excitement in the eeighbourhood had not abated this morning, and the ou:sA:.: of the tavern was thronged with persons. After the jury had been sworn, The CORONER said ha had been infirmed by Dr. King, that though tbe widow end child v« ere nut in a fit state to be present at the inquiry to-day, they were both much bitter. fie therefore proposed to tali° the iden tity of the bodies, in ord,r th4t they rni;!.ht be buried according to law; text the evidence of the parties who were first called in, and then the evidence of Dr. King, who would show the CaUS4, cf,delth in each case. The jury then proceeded to view the bodies, which present« d a frightlul spi_ctacle. Sop*".is Fawcett, sidle woman, aged 19, examined — She said I heard first of this affair on last Tuesday morning. I was living at 4, Queen-street, Oxford street. I am a dressninker, and have been living there two years and a hell'. Oa the morning in question I re coived some information of the death of my father, and I came here. I knew my inirents were living here. I was at home on Saturday evening and came away on Monday morning. Thvy came here on Saturday. The house is No. I, Qucen.':;-tire, Nlyndham-road. I have not seen my father since his deatn. The CORONER—Is there any party present who has seen the bodies, and can identity them ? A person in the room here intimated that he thought he could identify the decessni persons. The CORONER (to witness)—Do you think you could bear up and go and see the body of your father, and brother, and sister? Witness (crying)—l may, Sir. _ _ She was then conveyed out of the room by the beadle to the house over the way, and catno back greatly de pressed. Witness's examination continued—l have just seen my father, and sister, and brother. His ;artiness or occupation was that; of a porter to Mr. Ilridgeman, confectioner. Ho was foity-two last January. My sister's Christian name is Emily. She is five years old. The youngest child's Christian names are Frede rick Anthony; he was twelve months old last January. Sarah Sadler was next examined; she said—l am a widow, and live at 7, llehtead-place, Camberwell. I was coming out of my own door on Tuesday morning, at eight o'clock, when I saw a female knocking at the door of No. 1, Qu,len's-place. No ono answered, and she knocked a second time, and then looked through the key-hole and said, "My dear, open the door." I did not see any one inside at that time, nor did I hear any noise. I supposed she was addressing her child. In about four mintnes the door was opened from the in side, and then the woman screamed out. I went close up to her, and saw a little girl covered with blood standing close to her. The first word it said was "Oh, mother, go up-stairs." I left the mother and went up-stairs to the back bed-room on the first-floor, and there I saw a child lying on the bed covered with blood. I; appeared to have a bit of bread and butter in its hand—it was a female child. Two men followed toe directly, and they went close up to it. The child was dcau. The blood was gushing from the throat. I left the room instantly and came down to the back parlour; Lore I saw a child lying on the ground. I went up, touched it, and found it was dead. It had coins sugared bread and butter in its hand. It was dressed in night clothes. and had shoes and stockings on. There was blood on the floor and on its dress. Toe blood appeared to come from its throat. I next went into the washliou,e, and saw a police man and another person cl 7 egging a body of a man from under the sink into the yard. He was alive at the time, and gasping for breath. He had a carving knife in his hand. He had on dark trowsers, slippers, a shirt, but neither coat nor waistcoat. There was a great deal of blood upon the ground, and his handi, were both roverel with blood. I Lover saw any of the persons beim the occurrence. Thu woman went to the side or private door. I found the shop door was fastened when I went inside. The back door, which leads to a small garden, was partly closed, the body of the man preventing its being entirely opened. There was nothing to indicate that any person had escaped from the house after havieg inflicted these injuries on the bodies. ( the inquest was prorcedirz whim our report left.) THE GttEA r EXHIBITION. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the receipts at the doors yesterday amounted to 2,8301. 11s., the number of visitors being 59,050. It rained fast and furiously as the hour approached for the building to close, c,od great was the dismay and confusion, the demand for cabs, and the cramming of omnibuses, in consequence. The south entrance of the transept was completely blocked up with impatient and distressed waiters upon the skyey influences. The distress manifested by the female portion of the as semblage for the prospective destruction of their finery was particularly affecting, nor in the wildest flights of Bloo:nerism could an) thing be found more grotesque than the arrangements of dress which were made to neutralise as far as possible the effects of the weather. Gowns were invert,d, and petticoats tucked up with the most unhesitating energy, while, by one of those extraordinary examples of the law of supply and demand, umbrellas of every size and quality sprang up in forest-like abundance. Of cabs and omnibuses there was, as there always is on such oc casions, a dreadful deficiency, so that a large propor tion of the people had to trudge, under the pelting rain, and ankle-deep in mud, on their way homewards COURT CIRCULAR. The Oxford University Commission had a meeting yesterdly, at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street. Present—The Bishop of Norwich, the Dean of Carlisle, the Master of Pembroke, the Rev. H. G. Liddell, J. L. Dam pier, Esq., the Rev. Professor Powell, the Rev. G. 11. S. Johnson, and the Rev. A. P. Stanley (Secretary). Dispatches were sent off yesterday from the Colonial Office to the Governors of the West India Islands. COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening last an accident occurre f at Nevell Colliery, near Osmondthorpe, in the borough of Leeds, by which one man lost his life and another was so severely injured that he is not expected to re cover. The colliery belonged to Mr. Farrell, and bad been recently sunk. It was about seventy five yards deep, and the works were so far completed that the bed of coal was ex pected to be worked in the course of a few cloys. A man of the name of Hopton. who had for a considerable time acted as the steward at the colliery, having control of the works both above and below, went into the pit along with a black smith, to affix a pipe to convey some water to some part of the works. As these two men were in the act of ascending the shaft of the pit in a sleep suspended by a rope worked across a drum by a steam-engine, the rope broko, and they fell to the bottom, a distance of from forty to fifty yards. Assistance was rendered as quickly as possible, and the bo dies of the two unfortunate men were brought to the bank, but death in the course of an hour afterwards put an end to the sufferings of Hopton, and the other man lies in a very precarious state. Hopton, who was a very steady man, has left a wife and six or seven children. There are different rumours as to the cause of the accident. One is that the rope slipped from the end of the drum, for want of an edge to keep it in its place, and, coming in contact with the spindle on which the drum revolved, was shifted until it broke. Another is, that the rope was an old one and needed repair. The coroner's inquest on the body of the deceased stands adjourned from Monday to Thursday next, in order that a Government inspector of coal mines may have an op portunity to be in attendance. A PRECEDENT FOE DIVIDING THE CHANCELLOR EHIP.—The Literary Gazette, in reviewing " The Judges of England," by Edward Foss, says, The most curious inci dent connected with the law in the reign of Edward IV. was the existence of two chancellors acting at the same time for many weeks, both recognized by royal authority. Oa the strength of this precedent, Mr. Foss throws out the suggestion In the question which at present perplexes lawyers as well as Ministers of State, as to the most ex pedient division of the la' orious duties now devolving on the keepers of the seal, who can tell whether this discovery of an ancient authority may not suggest the division of the title between two possessors, in the same manner that two chief justices were formerly substituted for one chief justi ciaty ?' " _ _ _ ba R . HUME, M.P., IN' THE HIGHLANDS.—After delivering himself of his well kaown "financial and poli tical statement to the electors of the Angus burghs, the veteran Member for Montrose proceeded along the east coast of Scotland, and the shores of the Moray Firth, as far as Redcsstle, the picturesque seat of Mr. Henry Baillie, the Member for the county of Inverness, where, together with, mi ss Hume, he remained for a few days, and then returned south. Redcastle being within a very short distance of Inverness the town authorities took advantage of Mr. Hume's proximity to request his acceptance of the freedom of the burgh. The proposition was most favourably enter tained, and the ceremony took place on Saturday last, the 27th ult. The concourse of people was very considerable, and "the youngest burgess" would seem to have been much gratified. He spoke for upwards of an hour and a, talt. The main subject of the speech was Mr. flume's own career in Parliament, principally since the passing of the Reform Bill. Topics of interest in past times naturally mixed themselves with the narrative. The probable merits and demerits of the proposed new Reform Bill were canvassed at considerable length, and the discourse was concluded with the usual hope that the day was not far distant when Eng land could boast of triennial Parliaments, vote by ballot, reduced expenditure, and reduced taxation, &c. It is Some. what singular that the honour of being made a free burgess of Inverness should have fallen to the lot of Mr. Hume, since only two years ago, when the late Sir Robert Peel lived for about six weeks in the immediate neighbourhood, DO further notice was taken of the lamented statesman than requesting him to Jay the foundation-stone of a Jacobite memorial to the rebels who fell at the battle of Culloden. THE LONDON PEE=S.—In a speech delivered at the dinner recently given at " the .Cashel Banquet," the Very Rev. Dean Burke thus complimented sundry of the metropolitan journals, who must, of course, acutely feel the castigation of the refined divine :—" The Times, the Horning Post, the Morning Herald, the Morning Advertiser, the Evening Sun, the Weekly Examiner, and a host of minor journals are so many sluices that unceasingly pour forth from the great and unfathomable reservoir of English bigotry and anti-Catholic hate, all their filth and feculence against us ; but whilst their dirty discharges prove the depth and fetidness of the source from which they flow, they cannot reach or befoul their intended objects, I r - ean the Catholic clergy."—( Great groaning for the English bigots.) And again: —" We are denounced by the base and venal English press, and represented to the English people as fiery aLi.a tore, as noisy incendiaries, as men whose very existence is incompatible with the peace of the country or even with the rights of property in it."—(Groans for the lying London press.)

THE CAPE MAIL STEAM CompAnr.---The Har binger, one of the larger screw steam-vessels, about to be placed on the Cape line, was tried down the River yester day. The weather was most unpropitious; it blew a heavy gale from the southward and westward, yet the Harbinger proved herself to be an excellent sea boat. She was st iff under sail, and the screw worked easily without a, y appa rent vibration. The fittings of the vessel aro of t h e most perfect description, and do great credit to those w h o have planned and carried into execution the wishes of the direc tors. It will he in the recollection of our professional readers that the Harbinger formerly figured in our Navy List under the name of the Recruit, but no one under the present in a . nagernent would have recognised' her to be the same vessel. The Harbinger ran the measured mile in the Lower U oiae against a strong tide, with her fore and aft sails set, at th e rate of eight and a half knots per hour. and on her return, with a head-wind, she made nearly eleven knots. We can not give too much pr a i se t o Messr s . Mare and Co., Captain Ford, and the gentlemen who have assisted in the fitting out of this vessel. The arrangements for passengers are perfect, and we congratulate the proprietors of the Screw Steam Na vigation Company in posse s sing so newer ul an auxiliary as the Harbinger is likely to prove to their interests. The Harbinger is appointed to sail with passengers and the Cape mails from Plyrnoth on the 15th inst.—Morning Paper. CHARING CROSS HOSPITAL.—The session of the medical school of this hospital for 1851-2 ccmmenced yes terday, when Mr. Edwin Canton delivered an introductory address to the pupils, pointing out in forcible language the advantages to be derived from the study of medicine and surgery, and attending to the lectures of the various pro fessors; and, ab ove a ll , to the clinical practice of the hos pital, in order to obtain efficiency in their profession. The address was very numerously attended, and was listened to .with the most marked attention by the pupils present. Mr. Canton will to , day d e li ver a lecture on practical anatomy, which will be followed on this and two following days by introductory lectures from the other professors of the hos pital on anatomy and physiology, medicine, Burger', and chemistry.

Dr. Wiseman has given 51. towards the expenses of the Defence Society, and 101. towards the University. LONDON, THURSDA Y INDIA. We have received via" Marseilles our letters and papers by the overland nail. A telegraphic sum mary, viCt cl the intcilig,ence brought by this arrival appeared in cur columns a day or two ago. The following is the Itter of cur correspondent at Bombay, dated September 1 : " Gholab Singh has succeeded in putting down the insurgent hill tribes in the north of his dominions. Ha has communicated his success to the English au thorities, who have duly congratulated him on the occasion. The report of Dhost Mahotned's death appears to Lava been without foundation. That Prince still seems nctively engaged in endeavours to enlarge his dominions. He has taken advantage of the death of Yak' riLhoined Khan of Herat (which took place on the 4:h of June) to send his son ilyder Khan with a large army to invade Herat by the Buik•hill route. It is considered likely that the young Khan will ask for, and probably obtain, th e aid of Persia in r e p e lli ng the invasion, " The entire coarse of the Indus and its tributa ries has been visited by heavy rains and unprece dented floods ; the latter have swept away some hun dreds of villagsa, and occasioned much destruction of life and property. In Sinde—generally a rainless climate—more rain has fallen in the last 20 days than is supposed to, have fallen during the whole of the 20 years erevious. In Kurrachee most of the barracks and otliaers' houses were either fallen down or unsafe, and the troops were living in tents. " Major-General Batine, a veteran of 47 years' standing, commanding the cis-Jhelum division, died at Lahore on the 21st of July. " The Commander-in-Chief's camp is to form at Buddee on the 31 of November, whence it will pro ceed by way of Rupur towards Peshawur. The Go vernor-General's camp is to be formed at Umballa on the 15th of October ; his Lordship will then proceed leisurely by Kalb, Saharunpoor, Deyra Dhoon, Bareilly, Nainee Tal, and Almorah, and thence . towards Calcutta. It is hoped that in passing he will find time to visit the King of Oude's dominions, which are in nearly as disturbed a state as those of the Nizam. The levelling to the ground of the innu merable mud forts dispersed throughout the country is most urgently to be desired. " The Hon. Mr. D. Bethune, law commissioner at Calcutta, is deed. It i s suppose d t h at he will be suc ceeded by Sir Erskine Perry, Chief Justice of Bom bay, should the latter be disposed to accept of the appointment. " The Bengal Railway Company have adverted for tenders for the construction of the second section of their line, viz., from Pandova to Raneegunge, which will complete the experimental undertaking upon which the expenditure of a million sterling was sanctioned by the Court of Directors. An extended survey of the country beyond Burdwan is in con templation, with the view of settling the question as to the ultimate direction of the line. The site for the terminus at Howvah has been decided on. It be longed to Captain Oakes, from whom the Company have purchased it for about 70,000 rupees, and is situated close to the Uowvah Ghent. In Bombay contracts have been let for the line from Boree- Bunder to a place called Persid Point, on the other side of the Tannawater. About 10 miles remain to be contracted for to complete the experimental line sanctioned by the East India Company. A survey of the proposed ex[ension lines will be undertaken next cold season, unless Government withholds its sanction. "The IN.Tiz nn's dominions are in their usual state of anarchy. A body of some hundreds of Rohillas have lately been committing depredations near Nun droag. A force under Brigadier Mayne has, however, been sent tagaiest them. The Arab mercenaries, alarmed at the Governor-General's recommendation for their extradition, are collecting from all quarters at Hyderabad, to watch the course of events, mean while they are on their good behaviour, and are con ducting themselves in an unusually orderly manner. Saorsj-001-Mota's arrangements for putting off the rainy day by borrowing money at ruinous terms on assignments of revenue for the payment of the debt seem to have been attended with more success than any of the similar schemes of his predecessors. He has already lodged with the Resident bills for nearly half the amount of the debt, and promises to pay the ba lance by October. The diversion of so large a sum from the usual purposes of Government can only have the effect of vitt further crippling the Nizam's finances, and commensurately increasing every species of disorder to which their present disorganized state has given rise. "Ensign Scott, of the 48th Madras Native In fantry, has perished, together with about twenty coolies, by the wreck of the ship Randolph, from Ma. dras with coolies for the Mauritius. " During the past month considerable excitement has prevailed throughout the Bombay Presidency regarding the contemplated dispatch of an expedi tionary force to the Bed Sea, for the purpose of chas tising the Arabian tribes, who are openly protecting the murderers of Captain Mike and other British subjects. Orders had been received from the Court of Directors to demand and, if necessary, to enforce the surrender of the murderers, who had left the ter ritories of their sovereigns, the Sultans of Laledge and other chiefs of the Abdallee, and had t a k en re fuge with th e more distant Jouthelee tribe, which had openly protected them. At first negotiations ap peared to hold out no chance of success, and the aspect of affairs seemed very warlike. Troops were warned for service, and the Governor and the Commander in.Chief, at the height of the Poona season, left the Deccan for Bombay, where they still remain ; but it has now been decided in any case to do nothing till the season opens. " By the last advices from Aden the political agent was still engaged in pursuing his negotiations with the tribes in the interior, and his prospects of success were more promising than before. The great object in view is to persuade the chiefs of the Jouthelee to deliver up the murderer of Captain Milne, who has taken refuge with that tribe, and been openly and avowedly protected in their territory, to the chiefs of the Abdallee, his lawful sovereign, in order that jus ti3e may be done upon him according to his own laws. With this demand the Jouthelee has declared himself willing to comply, but the delivering up of a guest is so repugnant to Arab principles, that direct compli ance is hardly to be expected. More probably the chiefs will artfully place the assassin within the reach of the Abdallte, and if the latter fail to take advan tage of the opportunity to seize the culprit, then the former will avow himself free from the responsibility, and the onus will be shifted to the other. " In this state of affairs, the Government cannot finally determine on its course. If the Jouthelee chief assumes an hostile attitude, an expeditionary force will be immediately organised and transported to Arabia as soon as the season will permit, but if the Jouthelee be exonerated from participation in the protectionwit with the o 2 f l r e s s t si ri i n n e and we h which s ur a r v n e on ly d t e o n dealand Unit. chief; the Sultan of Laledge, then reinforcements to the garrison only will be required, and our opera tions will be vastly simplified. "In t! - ,e event of Captain Haynes' negotiations proving successful ; justice will be done upon the mur derers of Captain 11 ilae and of the European seamen, and the whole matter will be brought to a peaceful termination. “ Errors to a considerable amount have been disco vered in the accounts of the Bengal Medical Fund with Government. Similar errors in the books of the Government Savings• bank at Bombay have occasioned the dismissal of nearly all its employas. Frauds to the extent of 70,0001. (oeariy seven lacy of rupees) have been discovered in the opium agent's department at Bombay, and there are numerous similar abuses in other department s . Discoveries of this nature are becoming painfully frequent. The evil is in most cases due to the dishonesty of subordinates only. I am aware of no case in which the head of an office has ever been suspected of anything worse than a want of efficient supervision, and in many cases such absence of effectual supervision is rather the fault of the system than of the individual. The frequent changes of office incidental to a seniority system of promotion, in which a single vacancy may change the heads of half-a-dozen offices just when those who held them were becoming acquainted with their duties ; the complicated method in which the accounts of most departments have been hitherto kept, assisted in some measure perhaps by the relaxing effect of the climate on European constitutions, all conduce to place the great ma j or ity o f Anglo-India officials in the hands of the native or uncovenanted assistant, who is a fixture at the heed of their office establishment to an extent unprecedented in England and most de trimental to the interests of the public service. It is a common remark, which probably would not have been applicable to the Indian service forty years ago, that while the English gentlemen at the heads of offices are generally rather behiud the world than otherwise, the native head clerks of their establish ment are usually buying land and houses and becom ing wealthy men. Tho same remark applies to the European as well as the native subordinates of the Commissariat and other similar departments.”—Timer. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CALCUTTA. (From the Enyli+hman of August 19.) Since uur issue of 1:1,1 mail our export market has exhibited but little change, business continuing to be carried on, without spirit, to a moderate extent, and with that reserve which the unsatisfactory complexion of mercantile home affairs, coupled with the increasing stocks of some lemding staple in our bazaar, fully jus tify; and although we cannot report any general decline in prices, we have to state that the readiness to meet offers on tho most moderate previous value imparts to them a want of buoyancy verging on a downward ten dency. The import market has, duringithe last week, been in a very unsatisfactory state, owing to the occurrence of some failures among nuttve dollars of repute. These unfortunate mishaps have created a feeling of consider- EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1861 able shim among the Bat fans, who increase the evil by rushing ahout the triz:ar!?, and pressing the dealers severely for iturarcitate payment. Some of the principal importing houses are on the reserve with respect to sales and deliveries. It is to no hoped that the loose system ef credit, which has ohtkined so •universally will now be checked cad btr:i.usirs placed upon a more. safe end legilimate footing. The consequence of the present state of affairs has been rtimost a t,caparary suspension of business, arids s:rious toning cff in deliveries as re spects all cotton goods, cxcepting prints and chintzes. The deliveris of metals have been en the usual mode. rate scale which has obtained of late, with, if anything. a very stifling improvement in copper. No sales of spelter aro reported. For particulars we rerer to our do tailed report below. The unfortunate occurrences referred to in the bazaar have had the effect of sending up exchanges by checking colleetioos and suspending the delivery of goods. .It was expcted that the large loss of bilia by the Pacha (about five lees) and the reserve observed by exporters of country produce would have improved rates; but these iaflueaces have been more than counteracted by the disturbed state of the import mai kct, and rates have crept up to 2-1 to 21, with few buyers, and thoSe few on the reserve. Freights have receded 5.0 to 7-6 per ton,closing again stiffer. Our money market continues unaltered in bank rates, but the failures among the piece goods dealers have caused much uneasiness and some pressure in the bazaar. Government securities have slightly declined, and in shares hardly any bUsiness has teen transacted. Indigo, slice last mail, has remained without any transaction, and the reports from the manufacturing dis tricta continued as varied as ever—in some instances less satisfactory than before; a leading and not unimportant feature in that direction being the excessive heavy fall of rain reported from Agra, which has already done much injury to the young plant, thereby materially altering previous prospects of the out-turn in the Doab, and leaving little room for the but lately entertained hope that its production would be considerably in excess of that of the previous season. Under these circum stuces we incline to the opinion that a more than rea sonably to be expected combination of future most fa vourable influrmces- will •ba required to produce a total crop of 100,000 ind.s. BOMBAY MARKETS. FROM THE 26TH OF JULY TO THE 30TH OF AUGUST INCLUSIVE. (From the Bombay Times.) The money market continues - most Plentifully sup , plied—in feet cash has become quite a drug, and since • we last wrote the banks have lowered their rates another . 1 per cent. Governieent tccurities are somewhat lower, owing to !peculators having been in the market as sellere. The following may be caged current rates.—Tranefor stock, 1151 nominal five per cent. Siecca paper, 107 i; four per cent. Sicca paper, 96; four per cent. Company's paper, 91 ; five per cent. Company's paper, 104 to 1041. Bank shares have been in some demand, and the rates of the day are bank of Bombay, 23 per cent. pre mium ; Oriental Bank, 7 per cent. discount ; Commer cial Bank, 11 per cent, discount ; Agra Bank, par. Since our last report the London mails of the 7th and 24th ult. reached Bombay respectively on the Ist and 23d inst ; and the following vessels from the west have reached us, viz :—from London, the Trafalgar and Ra jasthan ; from Liverpool, Dorcas, Rajah, Chi na , B aron of Renfrew, Templar, Nish, and John Bull ; and from the Clyde, Ontario, and Allerton. In imports a large business has been done, supplies having arrived in quantity and been offered freely. On tae other hand transactions in exports have been limited; in cotton, however, our chief staple, more has been doing latterly, shippers to China having been induced to come forward in coneequence of a fall in prices. Money is abundant, and may be had at slow rate on ap proved security. Cotten Piece Goods—The business done is these has been large and pretty general. A decline in price has been occasioned iu etmost all descriptions by the liberal way in which the geois have been of fered. Prices have for the last few days been most fluctuating, the large arrivals and anxiety to rea lize displayed on see part of importers -having alarmed the dealers, there being no outlet for goods yet, and the bazaar quite gorged, so that at present the market is dull and depressed in consequence of the dis inclination shown to continue purchasing. As the mon soon has been most favourable throughout the whole of Western India, large quantities of goods will doubtless be consumed, more especially at the low prices which are now current; we, therefore, have some encouragement to look forward to renewed demand, but the large supply now in tee market forbids us to expect any improvement in price. Lire) , skirtings -40 and 45 inch of all qualities we quote something lower than in our last. The sales of all kinds reported are 35,550 pieces. Maelapollarns have likewise declined is price 1 to 2 annas per piece, and have been taken largely, but are now unasked for. Sales, 58,000 pieces. Jacconeta have also been disposed of to the extent of 39,000 pieces, and have declined in price. T cloths, up to 61b., are in great quantity, and have fallen 2 annas a piece, but heavier qualities are quoted as in our last. Lorgcloths and domestics—The season not yet having opened, these goods have been very little asked for; fur the longclotha there has been some little inquiry at a de cline of 2 annas per piece. Bleached Goods —Skirtings and madapollams are hardly asked for, nor are jacoonets, except the medium qualities which are in request. Twill has not yet met with any demand. Satin spots are inquired after, as are also jacconet checks. Sales quoted are 35,000 pieces of madapollams, 10,000 pieces of jacconets, 2,500 pieces c f twills, and 8,600 pieces of satin spots. Fancy Goods —Some descriptions are inquired after, such as fine bld. mulls, low lappets, fancy border dhoties, and lappet scarfs; while Swiss lappets and book muslins are not in request. Plain twill cloths and dyed turkey red are still dull without change in price; mull; however, meet with some inquiry. Cotton Yarn—Prices have undergone little change. Both mule and water have met with large sales. The only decline we observe in mule is in 303, 60s, and 80e, while 40s, 903, and 100 have risen in price. Water ad• vanced a little n price, the stock having become light, but in consequence of recent importations it has again declined. 3Us and 40s have likewise fallen in price in consequence of recent arrivals. Dyed orange continues without improvement, but meets with a fair demand. Turkey red of good quality meets with more lug uiry, an d i s looking up, but low is still dull of sale. business which has been transacted in these has been large in nearly all descriptions, with a general rise in prices, with the exception of iron hoops, faggot steel, and South American copper, which continue at the quotations entered is nor last. Woollens --.;}'e have nothing to report in these, as the season for these goods has not yet opened. We hear of a few sales of flannel, bat the 4rticlo is very dull. Cochineal —The market for this article is still much depressed. Our quotation s are one anna lower than be fore. We have heard of no sales. Beer —A very limited inquiry prevails, and sales of Allacpp' e and Bass's are it small quantities only at our last quotations. Oi the inierior brands about 250 hhds. appear to have sold at 30r. per land. tbpirits—The demand f cr b randy in wood still con inues, but gin and oth er spirits both in wood and bottle are very d u ll. Marine S tores—Canvas, both bleached and unbleach e d, has met wi t h a greater demand than has existed f or some months Past, and h as s li g h t l y r i sen i n price. Paint and lin see d oil moderately asked for. Cordage in request. Ss ewing twine d u ll, Sp i rits of turpentine very dull.— Sale. Sundries —The only sales which we have to report are : Cotton Wool—The • market has been very dull through out the month until within the last few days, with a ten dency to depression in value, but no evident decline in prices had taken place until the arrival of the overland mail of the 24th of July. Prices, however, immediately receded, an the ac counts received by that opportunity becoming known; they have now fallen from 6 re. to 12 re. per candy, according to quality. This fall in prices induced a number of native purchasers to come forward for the China market, whither a considerable quantity is now being sent in addition on importers' account. There appears to be nothing whatever doing for England—the purchases reported are all for China. Fresh supplies from the north are now coming in several boats have arrived here to-day. A further fall in prices may pretty cer tainly be expected when the season fairly opens. Opium—Up to the arrival of the last mail from China the excitement mentioned in our last report continued to exist, and 1,225 r. at 1,250 r. for the best, and 1,200 r. was given, and at these high prices the Sir Herbert Compton for Woosung, end the Pekin for Hong -Kong, took about 1,650 chests. Bat upon the advices by last China mail reaching us, which brought unsatisfactory account of the market in Woosung, consequent upon the failure of several native bankers interested in drug pay ments, prices immediately fell, and have continued to de cline, the quotations of to-day being nominally 1,135 r. per chest. engagements were made for great Tonnage—Early in the month rates to Great ty of sear ß e r i itain receded slightly from the nominal r a t es which were freight,tiLiverpool e quoted rp o i onl and o a s ome our 30 r last, i n offering at present, and the nominal rate f or b oth Liver pool and London is about 40 a. per too. F or seed to London, 2/. ss. has been paid. The ra te to China has been very unsteady, having been so low as 11r., but 13r. as e . t o trifling 3 consequence per ton. V ery little cargo is of the per candy is now the rate of the day. Exchange—For the mail vid Madras on the sth inst. the rate on London closed at 2s. Oil. six months' sight. It opened for this at 2e. 01.1. at s.l6ths, but has since receded to It. 11-13-16th d. at 2. 14 first class China cre dit bills six months sight: the transactions fur the mail are included within these limit!. O n China we quote 220 r. per 100 dollars, 60 dap.' sight—the tendency still upwards. On Calcutta our quotations are 1001, 60 days' sight. BEHNES' STATUE 05' THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL. —The model for the colossal statue of the late illustrious statesman, intended to adorn the town of Leeds, is now com pleted, and is calculated fully to sustain the high reputation of the artist as one of the first sculptors of the age. The position selected is that familiar to the public, when Sir Robert is supposed to be addressing the House of Commons, and exhibits a dignified simplicity combined with an easy grace and elegance, for which the original was peculiarly distinguished. As a work of art, it perhaps surpasses any previous production from the studio of the same sculptor. Nothwithstanding its large dimensions, it is in every respect litedike and true to nature. But the artist has had to labour under one disadvantage, and that is by the necessity of an adherence to modern costume, which renders stiffness to some extent unavoidable. The model is to be cast in bronze, and when elevated on a suitable pedestal will have a fine and imposing efact. Mr. Behnes is also to be en trusted with the important task of executing the statue of Sir Robert intended to be erected in the City. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, SEPT. 26.—The Merlin steam packet, Lieutenant- Commander Turner, with the Bombay mails, arrived from Alexandria at eleven A.M. this day. The mail.; have bet n transferred to her Majesty's steamer Caradoc, leaving at three P at., for conveyance to Marseilles. TLe Oberon steam-packet, arrived from the squa dron on the 221 inst. She left Palma on the 18th ; and it was then intended by Admiral Sir W. Parker, Bart., for the ships to proceed to Barcelona, where the Trafalgar, 120, Captain Greville, was waiting, and after to Rosas. The ships have been trying their sailing qualities, and the result of the first trial was that, steering west, Ganges beat Albion, from eight to half-past eleven o'clock, 1,920 yards; Superb, 1,430 yards; and In defatigable, 590 yards. The Queen did not try her rate of sailing. Second Trial—On a wind, from two to five r.m., Ganges beat Albion 1,203 yards; Superb, 1,374 yards ; and Indefatigable, 1,213 yards. Major Johns, R.M., of Ganges, has invalided, and leaves for England by Caradoc. It is reported that. her Majesty's ship Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord E. Russell, and Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Captain Gordon, have been ordered direct to Alexandria, in advance. Phaeton, .50, Captain G. Elliot, left Malta, for the squadron on the 24th, taking Commander Fellows to replace Commander Boyd, of the Superb, superseded at his own request. Our prospects respecting the orange crop this season are very gloomy, and it is feared that through out the country there will not be one-tenth of the crop of lest season. The talked of abolition of quarantine upon arrivals from ports iu the Levant, when furnished with clean bills of health, will greatly benefit the island. The steam paper-mills of Messrs. Tonna were set work on the 24th inst., having first received the be nediction of the Catholic bishop. The Hon. H. Lushington, chief secretary to Go vernment, was amongst the passengers, per Helle spont, to Italy on the 22d inst. His absence will not extend over three weeks, and is absolutely necessary for the recovery of his health. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Tagus arrived from the Levant on the 21st inst., and left eight hours after for England, the Jupiter last evening, and leaves to-day. The Government steam-ship Medusa, from the lonian Islands, arrived at Malta on the 221 inst. The new Navy List, by authority, published yester day, brings Captain Furneax (1829) within the se nior list of captains, and Sir Baldwin W. Walker, K.C.8., within the second senior list.

The ships and vessels on the station at the same time changed their pennants and ensigns from red (the squadron to which the late Commander-in-Chief belonged) to blue, and Sir Thomas Briggs's command-in-chief here commenced therefrom. The Sutlej Indiaman arrived at Spithead to-day from the Thames. WOOLWICH, OcT, I.—The Anna Maria female con vict ship, in charge of Surgeon-Superintendent M'Crea, at present lying off the Royal Arsenal, has taken on board about 200 female convicts, several of whom have their children with them, for conveyance to Hobart Town. The majority of the convicts are of Irish extraction, and mestly from Liverpool. There are two, however, on board, each under sentence of fourteen years' transportation, in conse quence of articles being found in their posses sion which they had received from the male associates of the Uckfleld gang. A boy, the offspring of one of these women, was put on board yesterday to accom pany his mother to Hobart Town. The child was born in gaol, and is now upwards of two years of age, and has been well taken, care of in one of the workhouses in East Kent since April last.

THY& NEW CHANCERY APFOINTMENTS.—YesterdEy or, according to the words of the Act, " from and after the Ist of October," the powers of the Lord Chancellor vested in the Court of Appeal. Although her Majesty was ern powered to appoint two persons on the passing of the Act to the office of "Lords Justices," no appointment has beea officially announced. It is, however, reported that Lord Cranworth and Sir James Knight Bruce (with a title) have been appointed. They have, however, not been sworn in, and the delay, it is believed, has occurred in consequence of the Vice-Chancellorship. It is understood that neither the Solicitor-General nor Mr. Bethell will accept the Viee- Chancellorship, and the appointment, it is expected, will either be given to Mr. SwanstOn, a very able equity lawy ir, or to one of the Masters in Chancery. If to the latter, then another vacancy of 2,5004 a-year will occur . By the Acct the Lords Justices must be sworn in before the Lord Chan cellor or the Master of the Rolls. ALLEGED MURDER. -011 Tuesday night Mr. Payn te held an inquest on th e b ody of Ann Sarah Parker, whtsse husband was on Monday charged at the Worship -street Police -court with causing her death by violence. The evi dence of the surgeon was heard in addition to that of souse other witnesses, after which the jury returned as their yea , diet that " Death was caused by effusion of blood on the brain, but whether such effusion was produced by her hus band's assault there is no evidence to show." A. melancholy accident occurred at St. Just West, Penzance, on Sunday last. A party had been out shooting, and had returned, when, as one of them, named Thomas Wembath, who was trying to draw the charge from his gun, by some means the gun went off, and the whole charge C:l.- tered his mouth, and blew his head to atoms. Ile was soon placed on a plank and carried to his home, about a mile distant, where he had in the morning left a wife and three children. Kiss's "AmAzoN."--Mr. Digby Wyatt, in writing on this work of genius, says that in it " the boldest concep tion and treatment of a grand idea are tempered by an ex quisite appreciation of beauty and refinement of execution," and that it is probably the noblest work of art now existing in which man has displayed the mastery his intelligence has enabled him to gain over the " stubborn metals."

BLOOMERISM IN LIVERPOOL.—The new style of female dress, known as Bloomerism, has extended to this t ,wn. On Wednesday a young l ady, arrayed in the new costume, was seen walking from Lime .street, through Wil liamson-square, to the foot of 80ld -street, where our in formant gave up the pursuit. She wore a puce-coloured tunic, of some silken material, r. aching to the knee, with Turkish iuexpressibles. Sh e was accompanied by a f emale triend, in the ordinary costume. They of course attracted a good deal of observation, but no insult or annoyance was offered by any one.—Liverpool Mercury. TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUIN.. Sin,—The necessary arrangemmt s a re nearl y cone• plete for the formation and efficient working or ;.n extensive and influential association, having for its otject the immediate incorp3ration, under dieinc:t charters or° acts, as may b n2cessary, as well of the different metropolitan boroughs already returning Members to Parliament, as also of the populous and wealthy district, comprising Kensington, Chelsea, Stc., at present so inadequately represented. The founders of this association veuttue to hope that your powerful assistance, and that of the press generally, will be rendered towards the carrying out of this most important measure ; without which it is impossible to obtain any definite or available expres swn of the public opinion of the metropolis upon any given subject, municipal, local, or political, or to create any unit e d p u bli c act i on based upon that opinion. - The creation of these municipal corporations will, moreover, furnish a simple and complete solution of the vexata qucestio of Government interference in matters of purely municipal interest, such as the water supply, sewerage, &c., the control of which, by the ratepayers of the metropolis, is rendered difficult, if not impossible, under the defective and anomalous organization of the existing multitudinous parochial vestries and boards. You will also, I think, Sir, agree with me that it will ba no slight recommenda tion of the proposed measure that it will obviate the of th e ex i sting City corporation aga3isilinibmitYst:aken f or t h e representatives of the future being P° metropolis of this vast empire. It is intended to hold a preliminary meeting next week of such parties as may be willing or desirous to aid this movement, as well for the purpose of collect ing necessary statistical and other information, relat ing to the several districts propcsed to be incorporated, the nuclei of th e general and dis trict organizingc ommittees. Such gentlemen as may i n ti mate as also of to me by letter their desire to attend will receive no tice of the time and the place of the meeting. I am, Sir, &c., N. EDWARDS, Hon.

TIMES —The love of order and the obedience to lawful authority for which the people of England have been so rteently complimented by the Secretary of State for Pideign Affairs never shone out with greater lustre than during the singular, and, we are 'sappy to say, unprecedented scenes which have been passing at Liverpool during the last few days. We can imagine uothing more iirisating, more celcu lated to rouse and in some degree to extenuate re sistance to lawful authority, than the course of con duct which, for causes hitherto unexplained, though only too easily surmised, has been adopted by the Judge of the Lancashire County Court. Placed there contrary to the wishes of the great majority of those among whom he was to administer justice, from leis connexion as the son of a land egant of an aristocra tic family, the new judge had, doubtless, much ori ginal prejudice to surmount. It was felt, and with considerable justice, that so important a situation in the second city of the empire ought t o b e the reward of distinguished merit, and not of mere personal claims. Reasonable as this feel ing was, it is probable that a little tact and good sense on the part of the judge would lin a short time have succeeded in removing it; but so far from this beieg attempted, a course of conduct was pursued which completely obliterated the re membrance of the original appointment in discontent at the manner in which the business of the court was conducted and the sort of treatment to which liti gants and witnesses were constantly subjected. Then followed an invostigation, in which Mr. Rameto was acquitted of charges of which the public opinion of the town considered him guilty, end readmitted to the exercise of his office. As if this were not enough to irri tate the public mind, he performs a sort of ovation over his defeated antagonists, and while loading thesis with the most unmea sure d a b use nnuounct d hi s intention of opening a regular campaign against the press. It is with there preliminary causes of irritation fresh on their minds that the public are called upon to witness the carrying into execution of threats uttered a week beforehand. The style of the examination which the judge addressed to his own witness has probably nete been paralleled since the memorable interrogation of Donne by Cleo . Justice Jefferies at the trial of Lady Alice Lisle. Judge—" Was his hand doubled ?" Witness— " es." Zudge—" Then, you ass, don't you know that was a fist? that is what it is called legally; you ought to know that." Next to the stu pidity of the witeess, nothing seems to have annoyed Mr. Rarnshay so much as the name of the indoor superintendent of the police, Mr. Clough, which ap pears to have had somewhat of the same effect on the judicial mind as the exhibition of a piece of red cloth to a bull. "I do not care who he is, or how big or how low his name may be ; but as sure as he is a living man I will bring him before me." The whole offence imputed to Mr. Clough, in addition to his name be considered as a fatilt -which perhaps can hardly was his remark to the bailiffs that they could t arrest Mr. Whitty without a warrant—anpoint of la w , and scarcely, we extremeier ap prehend, amounting to a co n t empt of court. But sound opinion in the astonishment and indignation of the audience reached its climax when the judge, grinding his teeth with rage, stated that Mr. "Miitty had been guilty of a crime against the Act of Parliament; that ho looked like a man in whose eyes and in whose face the worst passions of our nature were delineated ;" and after having imposed fines under every illegal pretence conceivable, wound up with a declaration that, whether he should impose any more, or not, at that moment he could not say. Two of the bystanders were also fined five pounds each for giving vent to their feelings by applauding the sentiments of the advocate of the prisoner—a li cense which, though always repressed by CoOts, has never, that we are aware of, before been visited with a fine. We have mentioned these not with a view of making out a strong case against Mr. Ram shay, an effort perfectly superfluous, especially as we do not, notwithstanding the threats which preceded by some days these outrageous proceedings, believe the judge to be in a state of mind which would lus tily us in treating him as responsible for his actions, but in order to show the amount of pro vocation which will be patiently submitted to in England rather than do violence to that strong national instinct which impels us to submit to lawful authority even when most scandalously and notoriously abused. Mr. Whitty was sent off by the railway, to undergo a term of imprisonment for four or five offences, of all of which everybody knew he was perfectly innocent, in the presence of a crowd indignant at the insults be had sustained and the barefaced and cruel injustice of which he was for the time the victim. Yet, inasmuch as these things were done in the name of the law and sanctioned by the warrant of a judge, the large multitude present at the departure of the prisoner contented themselves with expressions of sympathy, and made no effort whatever to interfere with the execution of the sentence. The reason of this extraordinary forberance is, no doubt, to be found in the cause to which Lord Palmerston attributes it. The people of Liverpool know well that whatever excesses may be committed for a moment, there is no fear that their perpetrator will find any sympathy from any officer of the Go vernment. They feel the utmost confidence that so soon as this extraordinary outbreak shall be known not a moment wiil be lost in setting the prisoner at liberty, and removing from his office the judge who has thus abused the power with which he is invested. Were it not for this entire confidence of instant jus tice and redress, it would hardly have been in human nature to have stood by and witnessed the perpe tration of so monstrous a violation of individual liberty. But the people have no occasion to do that irregularity by their own hands which they know that their Government is ready and willing to do for them. It is with some disappointment that we find that a single day has beentrilwed to elapse without taki ng measures to put arl . nd to a state of things at once so dangerous and so discredit able. The Earl of Carlisle is, we observe, in at tendance on her Majesty at Balmoral, and as for the rest of the Cabinet they are we know not where. The extremely agreeable and exhilerating plan adopted by the present Government oar leaving the affairs of this great country to take care of themselves clueing the recess of Parliament is not w ith out its inconveni pe n ri c ) t e e s c dangers. t a io n r d A fl agrant outrege on private i - 01.. that liberty i s i ntrusted is not at liberty is commi tte d , and the Minister to whom the his post. A judge runs riot, and the only person who has the power of stopping him is not to be got at. No doubt it is highly complimentary to the spirit of order of the English people that during a part of the year their affairs should be loft to ad minister themselves ; but there are cases—and the present is one of them—to which this conve nient mode of governing does not apply. The practice is, however, so pleesant that it is sure to be persevered in till its folly and rashness are satisfactorily illustrated by some heavy disaster. We do not regard the occurrences y to vahich we have been calling attention as reflecting any de gree of discredit on the administration of justice in the County Courts, or as evincing cny serious defect in the law. After legislative wisdom has done all it can, much must stilt be left to the work ing of individual discretion Red of that most deli ciao and easily disorgeeised instrument, the human mind. Did the County Courts feet, Rame indeed, c on f er hey on the jud es the powers claim e d b y e i r. there would be great reason to complain of g the , onuegrliglieb%eties; with but lNl as these iellthLe Legislature i s la powerstur e a ir e d mossgtlardaesd. sumptione and n,,;-re imaginations, we can blame no one for their exercise except the judge himself. Ia is quite necessary that the judge should be pro tected in the execution of his office, and it is not the fault of the Lsgislature if a gentleman should be found with a. mind so unhappily constituted as to convert this necessary power into a general claim to fine and imprison his fellow citizens at his will and pleasure.
