city of London should hesitate before they gave th. - ! notices to Parliament, or in any other way ren --d themselves responsible in any such matter. sdr. BENNOCII advocated the project strongly, Ar. R. L. JONES said he agreed in the proposition - efer the subject to a committee for investigation ; he must stop there, and he intreated the Court - to entertain a thougfit of giving notices to Par ,' tnent before the result of that investigation was known, Mr. Deputy OnnanD said he differed from the last speaker as to the importance attached to the giving of the notices. That movement was indispensable to the carrying out of the plan, without involving an expense of more than a few pounds, and without com mitting the Court to the adoption of it all.—(Hear, hear.) He could not help expressing his surprise and indignation at the opposition which had been raised to the comprehensive plan. Mr. Deputy STEVENS said, it had been stated by somebody that Mr. Pearson's plan was an undigested plan. Nothing could be more erroneous than such a description. It was fit in every respect to come before a committee, and he would give to it all the support he considered it well deserved. Mr. ELLIOTT said if it were meant by sending the matter before a committee to pay respect to Mr. Pear son for the interest he bad taken i❑ the improvements of the city of London, there could be no objection to such a proposition ; but there be would stop. He would not go a step beyond the mere compliment, and therefore he should vote for the amendment. Mr. DE JERSEY, too, had a respect for the City Solicitor, but he would certainly decline the proposi tion to refer the matter to a committee if he did not .Wink such a course necessary for reasons of a higher ►_een a complimentary character.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman MOON spoka warmly in favour of the original motion, Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE] expressed surprise that some members treated the subject as if it were a new one. It had been frequently discussed in that Court, ae d he hid never before heard any one deny that the, improvement would be a vast:advantage to the public. Mr. T. 11. thee said he bad been acquainted with the scheme for several years, but he disapproved o: it on account of the great doubt of its practicability. Sir J. KEY spoke energetically . in favour of the original motion. Mr. Low objected to the scheme, although he ad mired it for the genius displayed in it, because he "thought the Corporation would be called upon to pay the expenses. Mr. H. BLAKE said that having been given to un derstand that the Corporation were not to carry out the scheme, he Ns ould give to it his moat determined support, and hoped to see so brilliant a project cons pleted to the satisfaction and benefit of the com munity.—(Cheers.) After a few words in reply from Mr. Deputy HARRISON, The amendment was negatived by a large ma jority, and the original motion was carried amid laud cheers. THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY LANE. M. JULLLEN'S ANNUAL SERIES of CONCERTS. The Last Week but Two. The EXIIIBITIO.N QUADRILLE— Signor BOTTESLNI. Signor SIVORI. For Programme, See Bills. In announcing the Series of Concerts for 1351, M. Jullien begs to assure his numerous patrons that his endeavours are still constant to enlist in the service of these Annual Entertainments the most re nowned executants of Instrumental Music, and thus, while insuring an Orchestra, the ensemble of which is totally unrivalled, he is en abled to present to his audiences some of the greatest Musical Cele brities in Europe. M. Jullien, in carrying out these views, has uttered into engage ments with Signor SIVORI, Signor PEATTI, and Signor BOTTESINI. The success of the two first-named artistes at a former series of M. Jullien's Concerts is too well known to need comment. Signor Bot esini, however, will perform at them for the first time, the nature of the engagement of the great Contrabassiste securing his exclusive services. The appearance of Signor Bottesini at the various con certs of the past extraordinary Season created a sensation in the musical circles of the metropolis, as well as among the numerous continental musicians then assembled in London, but very rarely excited by an instrumental performer ; in fact, musicians and ama teurs, as well as the public press, universally regarded the success of this young artiste as alone equalled by mat of the great Paganinl. THE ORCHESTRA _ _ will be complete in every respect, and include the following cele brated solo performers:— Harper, T. Harper, C. Holt Howell Janza Jarrett Kcer.ig Kreutzer Lavigne Lazarus Lutgen Conductor—M. JULLIEN Principal Cornet-a-Pistons—Herr lICENIG, Band Bizera Collin Cooper Crozier Defolly Delo ffra Doyle Frelon Godfrey Handley Mori Payne Phillips Piatti Filet Pratten Sonnenberg Thirlwell Vogel Winterbottons who, being exclusively engaged by 31. Jilllien during the whole year, can only be heard in his Concerts. Several of the instruments to which were awarded the Council Medals at the Great Exhibition having been purchased by M. Jul lien, they will be introduced during the Concerts. Notwithstanding tliat Instrumental Music has always been the special characteristic of M. Juilien's Concerts, he has, as during for m r seasons, secured the services of an emineut Vocalist ; and this 3 ear he has made an engagement with 31iss DOLBY, who will appear on the opening night. The repertoire of M. Jullien, already one of vast extent, will this season be increased by tne addition of several most imdortant works 01 the great mas. ers. M. Jullien has also arranged a grand sel , evon trout - Mozart's celebrated opera, "I 1 Flauto 3lagico," and another trout Beethoven's grand work, "Fidelio." Among the lighter portions of the music, will be presented the new WuLzes, l'olkas, and Quadrilles, which M. Jullien last year had the distinguished honour of compooing tor her Majesty's State Balls, and also several entirely new pieces, composed expressly for the presut series of Concerts, among which will ue woad THE INDIAN QUADRILLE, _ . composed on East Indian melodies, and exhilatihg the peculiar cha racteristics of the instruments of the native Indians, used in their dances, festivals, sports. wars, religious ceremonie,, Sec. The decoration of the promenade will he entirely new, and th• whole theatre well warmed and ventilated. The Grand Crystal Curtain will also be exhibited. The Reading Room will contain six well-lighted reading tables, on which will be found six London morning papers, three evening papers. twenty-three weekly papers, ant twenty provincial papers ; besides the Irish, Scotch, German, American, Italian, Swiss, Dutch, Indian, Chinese, Australian, Sew Zea!and, Malta, Portuguese, lonian, Canadian, Belgian, and Spanish newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals. ' ' The Refreshments will be provided by Mr. G. Payne, and be of tt:e best quality and at the most moderate prices. The Concerts will on each evening commence at Eight, and termi nate at Eleven o'clock. PRICES OF ♦DMISSION, Promenade, Boxes, and Galleries, One Shilling. Dress Circle, 2s. 6d.

Ott tiliutt - - LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1851 Fanaticism is again displaying its power in pro voking bloodshed among the ignorant multitude of Hindostan. By the latest particulars conveyed to us by the last Overland Mail we are informed that a somewhat alarming riot had taken place in the streets of Bombay, originated by the derision directed by the Parsee newspapers against the doctrines of Mahome danism. It appears that these sarcasms were elicited by the circumstance of two among the Parsees being converted to the creed of Islamism. Among the re negades, the journals referred to must needs forthwith insult the d whole body of Mussulmen in the Presi dency by ridicule, partaking in no respect—not even the faintest—of the character of a controversial state ment. This frivolous and ill-advised proceeding seems so far to have outraged the feelings of the very numerous believers in ManomaT resident at Bombay, that they at once rose in large ma:ses,to wreak ven geance upon their satirists. Having assembled toge ther near the large mosque in the native town, the religionists in question forthwith , commenced an at tack upon the Parsec's indiscrimina'ely, and already, at the hour when the mail stared on the 17th ultimo, considerable injury had been inflicted;upon the aggressors, and disturbances of a more fearful character were fully anticipated. Accord ing to the simple but significant language of the correspondent, the troops had been ordered under arms, and rather serious work was expected to be done before morning. It is lamentable to record occurrences of this nature under any cir cumstances, but more especially when they are thus wantonly excited by the foolish gibes of one party and the hot-blooded zeal of their antagonists. Yet miserable and melancholy as_these things are, they will doubtless be reiterated so long as human nature c mtinues to exercise its evil influences over the popu la•ion ; and may be recognised not merely among the ranks of pagans or unbelievers, but even in the midst of the most civillas , d communities of Christendom. The incident which has thus recently transpired at Bombay might well be borne in remembrance by the journalists of Europe as well as of Hindostan. For it evidences the folly of those insults levelled at the religion of the minority, exciting in their bosoms sentiments of the profoundest indignation, and f.,s ‘eting, amongst classes that might otherwise be ami cably united, intense emotions of hatred, finding vent at last only in acts of fury and words of execra tion. Strange and anomalous though it may ap pear, yet it is no less true, us evidenced by the revelations of experience, that what might be expected to germinate only emotions of be nignity, is in truth the provocative to the most atro cious and malignant demonstrations—that religion, in other terms, has too often diffused ferocity among the multitude. This, it is almost superfluous to add, has arisen solely from its exaggeratio❑ into fanaticism —affording a terrible illustration of the old proverb about " too much of a good thing." One evil of this kind has produced another ; each has acted upon the other alternately : so that from time immemorial Misrepresentation has engendered Fanaticism, and Fanaticism Misrepresentation. _ _ _ Madras, no less than Bombay, has recently yielded example of the folly and atrocity of these rival senti timents ripening into animosity, and engendered by so-called principles of religion. For caste in India is so intimately connected with the popular idea of religion, that we are perforce compelled to mention the two occurrences recounted in our intelligence from Hindostan as coming under the same mournful cate gory. From the accounts brought hither this morn ing by the overland mail, it would appear that a revolt of a rather alarming kind had taken place in the Government seminary known as the Madras University, and this revolt seems to have arisen from the fact of the admission into those precincts of education of certain members of the out cast and proscribed race of Pariahs. These unfortu nates appear to have been introduced there at the ex press instigation of the Government. Being candi dates for admission into the lower grades of the medical department,yet at the sarne time being not by any means familiar enough with the English language so as to benefit from the prescribed prelections of the usual medical professors, these unlucky students were directed to go through a regular course of preliminary tuition at the Madras University. Immediately on their entrance, the parties who had caused their ad mission were assailed rather violently by the objec tions of the Hindoos, who regard themselves as insulted by the presence of the Pariahs. All their remonstrauces, however, proving fruitless—some left the Uuiversity, others drawing upon themselves by their misconduct the wrath of the authorities were expelled, and the whole mass of them generally speaking, were reduced to the uttermost state of insubordination. Ultimately, nevertheless, by a stringent opposi'ion to their movement on the part of the superiors, they were brought under some e d gre w e e of subj, , ction ; " and thus," says the m r ti d r a narrativekna l b e , a degree conveying to cannot us but t e accountthink it memorableof this re markable, - agitation, " and thus has another, and by no means the weakest, of the absurd prejudices which half com pose the Hindoo character, received its death wound. The Brahmin, to whom the very sight of the Pariah was profanation, now receives instruction with the object of his former disgust, hatred, and tyranny, on the same bench even in that institution where the feelings and opinions of the Hindoos are treated with the greatest tenderness. Only they who know what the virulent bigotry of the caste feeling really is, can properly estimate the value of the victory that has been won." Unsatisfactory, therefore, though the movement at Bombay unquestionably must be ac knowledged to be, and lamentable also though it ap pears to be on the first blush, the latter circumstance cannot be seriously regretted when the fortunate result of it is borne in our remembrance. It has been seen that the monstrous prejudice against the unhappy race of the Pariahs, a prejudice hitherto very prevalent in Hindostan, has at length, by the means here particula rised, been broken down; and, in consideration of the benefit accruing to the population from the occurrence, we rather rejoice than otherwise in the course pur- LONDON, TUESDAY sued in this instance by the Aogio-Indian Govern ment. 1 The prosecutions for perjury directed under the recent Act of Parliament appear to hive excited a strong sensation throughout the country. The in veterate sticklers fJr old abuses, the men who shudder at the very name of reform, refer triumphantly to their former predictions, which they declare to be fully verified. They consequently think that a case has been made out for a total repeal of the enactment which admits the evidence cf parties, and thereby holds out so strong a tempation to unscrupulous per sons to call the DEITY to witness the truth of gross and infamous falsehoods. Others who are really desi rous of promoting the amendment of the law, are yet staggered at the number of committals that may take place, and the frightful consequences that must ensue to litigants who, having been discredited by the presiding judge, are sent to trial for the grave offence of perjury. It has, therefore, been suggested that the parties should be permitted to make their statements orally, and be subjected to cross-examination, but without the administration of an oath, and that a cer- twin punishment should be inflicted should they be guilty of making wilfully false or exnggerattd statements. We cannot agree with either of these opinions) although we willingly acknowledge the purity of the motives and excellence of the intentions of the ad vocates of the latter view. We freely admit that their objects are the same as our own, to render the administration of the law as effective as possible, to elicit the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and to deter parties from attempting to deceive the Court or jury, by the infliction of some minor penalty in almost every instance where the circumstances call for the judicial censure. They sustain their views on the well• known principle that it is "the certainty, and not the seve rity of punishment, that proves effectual for the re pression of crime," and they argue that a judge will hesitate to cast so terrible an imputation as perjury on any person. So long as tbere is a possibility of his being confused and misled by anger, rather than actu ated by a premeditated determination to state a wilful and deliberate falsehood, there exists a chance of escape, and that the knowledge of such chance ope rates as a great inducement to the commission of the offence. This is a perfectly legitimate line of rea soning, and although we dissent from the conclusion arrived at, we cannot complain either of the tone or manner of the arguments advanced in favour of the theory. We would, however, remind our opponents, of both classes, that the admission of the sworn statements of parties to suits is no very great novelty— that, on the contrary, it is only an extension of the principle that has long been in operation in courts of equity,' and indeed in common law tribunals, except in trials at nisi prius. Every defendant to a bill in Chancery will have to put in an answer on oath, in which he must full, true, perfect, and distinct answers give to the several matters and things therein stated and charged, and respecting which his adversary may deem it expedient to interrogate him. In every mo tion, too, the affidavits of the parties have from time immemorial been used and referred to, and that at Westminster as freely as at Lincoln's Inn. It was the oral state menta in the presence of juries, that were ob jected to. Indeed, it would almost appear as if that presence were made the test for the exclusion of the testimony of plaintiffs or defendants, for it will be found that it was admissible in almost every case in which the presiding judge was to decide on the facts as well as on the law. There could be no valid reason assigned for this exclusion. It is by no means improbable that it was derived from the practice in criminal affairs, where, by the humane principle of the British law, no man could be required to criminate himself ; his evidence was therefore altogether rejected, because a one-sided version was clearly inadmissible. The real prosecutor, however, invariably came forward, although by a species of legal fiction he was not con sidered a party to the suit, all offences against society and against the peace of the realm being prosecuted in the name of the Sovereign for the time being. Such was the state of affairs when the County Courts Act (9 and 10 Victoria, c. 9.3), re ceived the legislative sanction. It was thereby pro. vided (sec. 83) that parties, their wives, and all other persons, might be examined on behalf of plaintiff or defendant. And it was further de clared (sec. 84) that persons giving false evidence il!ully and corruptly should be deemed guilty of perjury. Terse enactments were found to operate most be neficially. We believe that the County Court Judges were all but unanimous in approving thereof. The strongest inducement was, there fore, afforded for the extension of the expe riment to all proceedings of every description, and it is not the committal or conviction of some two or three, or two or three dozen persons, that can be received as decisive proof against its efficacy. it is more than probable that in every one of these cases above referred to, unconscientious claims were de feated through the salutary effects of the new sta tute. Should we complain, then, because the scoundrels who put forward these unfounded demands, and who were willing to sustain them by the strongest pledge that could be given, should be subjected to stringent punishment ? Far from it—the penalty is scarcely adequate to the offence. We do not think that the discretion afforded to the presiding judge is in any danger of being abused, either through rashness or caprice. A. person who has misstated the facts without any premeditation or intentional falsehood will incur but little danger ; but when it is otherwise, when the truth is deliberately perverted, the more frequent the prosecutions, the more severe the punish ment the better. Many evils have arisen from the too great latitude heretofore allowed and the comparatively few prosecutions that were instituted. These will, however, be removed by the salutary power given to the judges under the 14 and 15 Vict., cap. 100, s. 19 ; and these learned persons, while taking a merciful view of each case, and making every possible allowance for any mistake, will also see the propriety of discouraging the crime, by mak ing examples of every deliberate offender. " We must not make a scare-crow of the law, Setting it up to tear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape, till custom make it Their perch, and not their terror." THE SoLICITORSHIF OF THB TREASURY.—.Iti3 stated that Mr. Reynolds, who has been for a considerable time Assistant Solicitor of the Treasury, will be promoted to be the Solicitor, and that Mr. Robert Hitchcock, the ➢caster of the Irish Exchequer, who has prepared several of the measures of law rtf rm propounded or carried by the present and past Governments, will succeed Mr. Reynolds.—Morn ing Paper. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPIL—By desire of Lieutenant- Colonel Blanchard, Commanding Royal Engineer at Dover, some further experiments were made on Friday last in firing cannon across the Channel by the Gutta Percha Company's newly discovered process. rite batteries used at Calais at the opening on the previous day having been sent back to England, Mr. Statham directed that the ends of the sub marine wires No. 3 and 4 should be joined or twisted together at Calais, and by thus sending the electric cur rent from the battery power at Dover to Calais and back to Dover (a distance of nearly 60 miles), the desired ob jects was accomplished. The 32-pounder, placed in the east bastion of Dover Castle, which was fired in honour of the Duke of Wellington on the previous day, was again brought into operation, and in the presence of a large party of military and other gentlemen and ladies of rank was repeatedly loaded and instantaneously discharged.' Several shots were fired by the ladies. The utmost astonish ment was expressed by all present, as not a moment ap peared to elapse between the wire being brought into con tact with the battery and the explosion taking place, not withstanding the communication between the battery and the cannon was through nearly CO miles of copper wire in sulated with gutta percha, as before stated. BLOOMERLAM IN THE STRAND.—Yesterday after noon the pavement from the New Church, Strand, to Waterloo-bridge, was almost impassable from the mo ) that followed two ladies dressed in Bloomer costume. They ap peared in no way annoyed at the remarks made by females disapproving of their dress, whilst others were to be heard expressing their approval of Bloomerism. The mob followed to Waterloo-bridge, but the necessary halfpenny toll not h l e i t n t I t e h e a y n nz e n c c c e m , p t e i 1 1 1 1 e t d h t e o y b \V i a d t g e e rlc ''' o -i - t r h oa v d7w y being r in the possessio n o f many , t h e l a di es passed over t h e a ta rr k i e ve r d efu ir; e t h in e a cab fc r Kennington-lane, where they resided.

A young man, of literary pretensions, presented a petition to the King, and immediately afterwards drew a pistol and shot himself.

N o thi ng occurred of public interest. E t+` RE N P g We have received tn. Pesri journals of . e-t• rday. A meeting of he members of the Republican op position was helc yesterday morning; at which it was agreed that should the adjournment of the discussion on the Questors 3111, for authorising, them to demand an armed force, to be commanded by a general nominated by them or by the President of the As sembly, be refus3d, then the Members of the Re publican opposition would vote against the measure. The discussion tame on yesterday, and was a very stormy one. It erded in the rejection of the propo sition of the Quw,tors, by a majority of 108 ; the numbers being fot the Bill 30 0 , against it 408. This is another great victory for the Republicans, who decided the questicn by their votes; and who gave as a reason fur so voting, that though they had DO con fidence in the PRESIDENT of the Republic, they distrusted the Burgraves still more than they did him.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, 5 A.ll The British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara has justjarrived in the Mersey from New York, which port she lekon the .sth inst. at noon, bringing ourjusual advices to that date inclusive. She has on board 195,947/. in specie, 33 passengers, the mails from the United States and the British provinces, and an average freight. The steam-ship Franklin had arrived at New York on the 2d. The Baltic had been passed on the 7th in lat 41.50, long. 63.9. There is very little intelligence by this arrival. The steamer Falcon, from Chagres, arrived at New Orleans on the 31st ult., with 230,000 dollars in gold dust. _ . _ Advices from Hayti to the 14th ult. state that the Emperor passed through Gonaives on the l oth, on his way to Port-au-Prince, to meet the French and English Consuls, who had interfered on behalf of the Dominicans. Coffee was selling at 76 dolls to 78 dolls. Haytian currency. Advices from the city of Mexico to the 16th ult. announce that the British Minister had had an official interview with President Arista, and had demanded a final answer to Lord Palmerston's dispatches relative to the debts of Mexico. It also reported that unless the answer is satisfactory all the Mexican ports will be blockaded. The steam-ship Cherokee, with adviees from Cali fornia to the 21 ult., and upwards of 200,000 dolls. in gold dust, arrived at New York on the Ist inst. The accounts from the mines are of the most favour able character. Several of the quartz mining com panies had met with extraordinary success, and a tenth share in one company had sold for 6,000 dolls. The commercial accounts for California are satisfac tory, business in most articles being brisk. Coal was in good demand ; Liverpool and Cardiff was selling at 20 dolls. per ton. Exchange on London—sight, 47d. to 48d.; 60 days', 49 i. ; on Paris, 60 days, sf. The improvement noticed in the Money Mar ket at last accounts had scarcely been maintained. Gold dust was selling 17 dolls. per ounce. Chagres accounts, of the 23d ult., state that a dreadful riot had taken place between the native and foreign boatmen, and that upwards of twenty persons had been killed. Advices from northern Mexico to the 23d ultimo state that the revolutionary party had gained possession of the entire western portion of Matamoras ; many of the United States troops had deserted, and joined the revolutionary party. The Mexicans had sustained severe losses in the different engagements. General Avalos had been wounded. By the arrival of the Empire City at New York we have advises from Havannah to the 30th ultimo. Consul Owen had not received his recall. It was reported that Mr. Threasher, of the Faro Industrial, had been tried and sentenced to the mines. Sugar was scarce. White was quoted at 6ie. to 'Tic ; choice yellow, Tic. , and brown, sc. Molasses dull, at 2to 2 reals. Exchange was fluctuating. A riot took place at San Juan, on board the steam ship Prometheus, in consequence of the captain's refusing to leave until the passengers by the Independence had arrived. The passengers mutinied, put the captain in irons, and compelled the mate to get up steam and proceed. COMMERCIAL. Business at New York and the leading cities was better than for some weeks past. The money market was ea-ier, and stocks were looking upwards. Prices had receded slightly in the breadstuff market, which was very quiet. Western Canal flour 3 dolls, 75c. per brl. ; Genessee prime wheat 94c. to 96c. per 601 b ; Indian corn round yellow 60c. to 62c. per bushel, steady ; Indian meal 3 dolls. 57ic. to 3 dolls. 50c. per brl.

WIL LIAMS, M.P.—A meeting of electors of the borough of Lam beth was held last evening at the Horns Tavern, Kenning ton, which had been convened by MT. W. Williams, M.P.. one of the Members of the borough, for the purpose of enabling him to render to his constituents an account of his stewardship. The chair having been taken by Mr. Dalton, the Hon. Member, Mr. W. Williams, proceeded at great length to give the history of his Parliamentary career during the past session. At the conclusion of his speech several questions were put to him by various electors present, to the whole of which his answers were deemed so satisfactory that the following resolution, having been proposed, was carried unanimously :—"That the meeting, having vies ed with great satisfaction the conduct of Mr. Williams during the past session, and having heard his answers to the questions now put to him, regard him as eminently entitled to the unabated confidence of his constituents." THE WEATHER AND THE PARlES.—During the past two days the weather has been intensely cold. The ornamental waters in the royal parks have already become covered wi:h a thin surface of ice. The Royal Humane So ci .ty, with their usual promptitude, have commenced prepa rations, by erecting marquees and hot baths on the margins of the several ponds in the parks, to prevent accidents. Yes terday afternoon the thermometer stood at 30 deg. whilst the sun was shining brightly, but during the night the mercury was as low as 24 deg. in confined situations, and 22 deg. in the open thoroughfares, being several degrees below freezing point. The barometer stood at 29 deg. 89 min., with wind N. by W., and an exceedingly sharp and cutting breeze. The previous day the barometer stood at 29 deg. 92 min., and the lowest state of the mercury in the thermometer was 25 deg., the wind then being N.N.W., with slight falls of snow in the morning. THE TYNE PILOTS.—It will be recollected that two Tyne pilots, brothers, of the name of Freeman, during the gale of September the 26th, while exposed in an open boat in the North Sea, were rescued from death as by a miracle, by the intrepidity and courage of the crew of a French lugger; that after the pilots were given up by their friends and companions as lost, they cast up at Dunkirk, in France, some hundreds of miles from their homes. The Tyne pilots, to acknowledge the bravery and humanity of the French master and his crew, have purchased a massi ve silver snuff-box, which will be presented to him by Mr. Ingham, QC. It bears the following inscription :—" Pre -0 sewed by the pilots of South Shields to Captain Blanquid, of the St. Jaques, of Dunkirk, in gratitude for the humane and courageous conduct of him and his crew, in saving, at their own risk, Robert and Fr tricis Freeman, two river pilots, in a storm off the N E. coast, on the 25th of Septem ber, 1851." THE LATE MAIL ROBBERY —The individual under remand for the commission of the above offence was brought up before the Bristol magistrates, yesterday morning, for further examination. Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post office, attended, and informed the Court, that Henry Norris, the prisoner, had formerly been in the employment of the Post-office, at Bridgwater. he having been engaged in 1847, and discharged in 1819. The prisoner was seen by the post master to place a letter In the °lice on Tuesday evening, and he was also seen in the neighbourhood the following morning. Mr. Peacock added, he thought it would be ad visable, for the ends of justice , to have the p risone r examined at Bridgwater by the county magistrates. The bench acceded to this course.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 6,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export, and 500 Surat on speculation. The market closed firmly. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 400 Pernam and Maraham at 4id. to 6/d., 100 Bahia at std, to 6d., 200 Egyptian at 54d. to 9d., 1,000 Surat at 2/d. to 34d., and 80 Sea Island at Is. 3d. to is. /od. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done at higher prices. The great buoyancy shown at the recent Colonial Wool sates, owing to the Kafir war and the Australian gold discoveries, invests with considerable importance the consideration of the future prospects of the trade. It is stated that the large quantity of Colonial Wool, now using in Bradford, to the partial exclusion of English, notwithstanding that many of the mills are running short time, has, no doubt, been the cause of the advance in combing wools, whilst the continued flat accounts re ceived from Leeds, &c., during the sales, the small pur chases for foreign account, and the large proportion of fine and middling clothing wools brought on, have no doubt operated against a rise in these descriptions. It must here be recollected that Sydney Wools, iu August, brought higher proportionate rates than from other ports; prices have, however, been sufficiently tempting to induce importers to bring forward nearly the whole of their stocks, and the sales or this year's import, excluding Wools of 1850 sold in February last, have comprised very nearly a quantity equal to the total import of the )ear; the total sales of this year amounting to the large quantity of 169.296 bales. Presuming that in August, and the present sales, about 1,500 to 2,000 bales of second-hand Wools, have been brought for ward, we cannot reckon the quantity now in first hands at much over 2,000 bales, almost entirely Port Philip. The Committee of Buenos Ayres Bondholders have received the following communication from Mr. Southern, her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary to the Argentine Confederation, and the letter having been directed to the chairman, at his residence in Scotland, it could not have been published sooner:— " Buenos Ayres, 30th Sept., 1851. " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, and a duplicate of it, dated the 2d 01 June, in which you communicate to be a copy of the resolutions passed by the meeting of the Bondholders of Buenos Ayrean Stock, held in London, on the 22d of May, in which is contained a vote of thanks to me for my exertions in favour of the bondholders. I beg to assure you that I feel extremely grateful for this ac knowledgment on the part of the meeting of the efforts which I have, under the direction of Lord Palmerston made to forward the settlement of the claims of the bondholders. " The bondholders may rely that I shall not let any opportunity pass unimproved, and that I shall continue to use every exertion to bring about a favourable con sideration of their most just claims on the part of this Government, which I have the greatest satisfaction in stating, appears animated by the beat desires to come to a satisfactory arrangement, as soon as circumstances will permit it to do so." The Overland letters, by the express, via Marseilles, does not confirm the telegraph report. Trade at Cal cutta was very depressed, more native failures had oc curred, and there was a glut of imports with increasing arrivals. It is only at Bombay that the market MO brisker. The American accounts, per Niagara, will be fa vourable if they correspond to the telegraph outline. The Stock Market is advancing still, and the jobbers are indisposed to sell, unless at a decided rise: This, while it checks business, causes every bargain to " tell." The further large arrival of specie from America, the flattering accounts of the gold mines in California, and the extraordinary details trom Sydney, all contribute to the buoyant feeling. Moreover the impression of great abundance in the money market is not ephemeral, since the London and North-Western Railway Company have given notice of an intention to apply to Parliament for leave to issue preferential shares iu redemption of loans, thus saving a large amount, according to some, as much as 100,0001. per annum in interest. Consols have been a rise of / to even upon the advanced rates of yesterday. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 99 to /, and the Three per Cents. 97/ to 98/. Exchequer-bills have been 525. to 553., and India Bonds 616. premium. Foreign Stocks are looking up. The news from Mexico as to the spread of the revolution in the northern provinces is very discouraging, but the assertion that the British Minister contemplated a blockade of the ports is probably untrue, as we know that the latest in formation from Mr. Falconnet to the committee, repre sented the difficulty to have been amicably settled. The Bonds are 241 to 24k. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 20j to 21/, and the Three per Cents., nominally, 39i to 40. The Passive about 54 to Portuguese Four per Cents. are 33± to 34. French Three per Cents are 57.50 ; and Dutch Four per Cents, 90/ to I. Railway Shares are all up, but Midland take the lead, a settlement of diff.-rences having, it is said, been accomplished. They have touched 53. North Western also are better, and Aberdeen, Caledonian, &c. have risen. French shares are in great request. Owing to the news from New Yurk of the great suc cess of the Gold quartz companies, prices are better here for the shares of all the companies.

MISSIONARY SocIETF.—We under. stand that the Lord Mayor has consented to preside, on Monday next, at a meeting of the Irish Church Missionary Society. W e regard this as an earnest of his Lordship's in tention, during his year of office, to encourage religious and benevolent societies, and consider it an exceedingly auspi cious inauguration of his mayoralty. SUICIDE FROM H U NGERFORD-BRIDGE.—On Satur day afternoon, about five o'clock, a respectably attired young man, apparently between 20 and 25 years of age, committed self-destruction by precipitating himself from Hungerford bridge. He was observed by the officer on the bridge to walk rapidly towards the Middlesex side, but there was nothing in his manner to indicate his fatal intention. A boy who was within a few yards saw him on the ledge at the the other side of the railings stooping down, but thinking that he was pulling at a rope, the circumstance did not excite his suspicion. In a few seconds after ,yards he threw himself into the water, and the parties in a steam-boat which bad just passed threw out a rope, hoping that he would catch it. several small boats also towed out from the shore, but ere they reached the spot he had disappeared.
