Sla,—ln my first rema r k s o n this meeting I was led to suppose, from vari ous caus es, that it would in most respects be decidedly below par; I am glad, however, that that observation has since been rendered a falsity by as respectable an attendance and amount of sport as is generally me t w ith at the First October reunion. Several curious results have distinguished the week from its predecessors of the last three or four years; one of them beine• the extraordinary sweep on the part of the Goodwood stable of the three principal races of the ris eet—the Triennials. Red Hind's victory in the Fourth Triennial Produce Stakes is another curious circum atance; the race being booked so dead a certainty for Lord Derby's Longbow that Lapidist (to whom I had a-varded the race) and several others were withdrawn, in consequence of the formidable appearance of the Melton crack. The betting up to within half an hour of the race was even, 5, and G to 4 on Longbow, but at the last moment, after saddling, it was discovered that he was lame—that is to say, slightly so; in consequencethe Ode veered round, 6to 4 being laid against . Red hind, who thus became first favourite, and 7 to 4 against Long'siow; so little was the rest of the field valued that 8 to 1 W 53 offered against any other. The race came off exactly as the betting stood ; Red Hind taking a lead of a length at starting, made all the running, and won very easily by two lengths, the same distance divided Longbow from the Odessa oolt, Caloric beaten two lengths for third place, Hirsute, and Ambrose fifth and sixth, in close company, Child of the Mist and Peacock (the two last) beaten off. The race was timed sat 1 min. 9 sec. and is uncommonly creditable to the speed of the soldier's daughter. Longbow, reported to be the best thing in Scott's stable for next year's Derby, had he been beaten on his merits, would have sent the whole lot bang out of the Derby market; I hope however yet to see, when fit, that he will be able to tarn the tables on some of the very best of the year; and when it is reported on good authority that Daniel O'Rourke has succumbed to him at a dif ference of either seven or t en p oun d s, I think it must be evident to any one connected with sporting affairs that his chance cannot be by any means an i n f er i or one. In my earliest prophecy concerning this stake I gave the race to Lapidist and Red Hind, and in my revised one to L . apidit and Longbow, thus ma ki ng a contrary mess of t, placing the first horse in one an d the second in the 9taer. A singular specimen of running was evidenced in the race for the Town Plate yesterday ; Anspach, whom .. they backed again s t the field with avidity, and laid fives again“ aly„other, was actually, though better than. the three behind her--Gaylase Pialee et h o n, and Timid Fawn—be a t en very cleverly by that 'pretty little Trinket of Mr. Barnes's. Westow, who seems to be in running, giving half a stone to Nutshell, and nearly a couple to Prest o , ma d e a waiting race unt il wit h in a short distance of home, then went to the front, and , cleared th e c h a i r an easy five lengths for H er Majesty Plate. The Rutland Stakes brought out that clever little filly of Mr. Greville's, Adine, who, with the race in hand from end to end, laid in the rear to the cords, where taking her proper position—in front—won very easily by t w o or three lengths from Caloric (second), Atiebro , e (third), Lady in W aiting (fourth). Passion colt (fiEh), and the Joanna filly (sixth and last). I have animadverted at some length on the principal two-year old running, merely because it will be necessary to bear in mind the performances of the horses engaged in those stakes with respect to their Derby and Oaks chances. I have but a few remarks to make on Wednesday's races. The St. Leger stakes were won by that game little Mi das, but only by a short head, Artisan struggling well against him to the last; Merry Peal third. The Granby Stakes was another slice of luck for Sir Joseph Eat.vley; his Bilberry in the final struggle just getting the best of Mr. Hueltes's Sophis.ry—a neck only divi ded them—Freedom was a fair third. The Four Year 0:d Triennial Stakes was won, as I predicted, by the Goodwood horse, the Nigger, who in the run in beat Cranberry a clever length. To this latter horse, in the absence of the Nigger, I had awarded the palm of superiority; so, therefore, may be considered to have placed first and second. Abdalleb, whom I had spoken of as the City Horse tor this race, showed a slight im provement on his previous running by scrambling into the third position. Before closing this communicestion, I shall notice the few events that have occurred in the North during the past week, as probably being interesting to some of year readers. The Richmond races are rendered rather remarkable this year by three facts, one of which is great, another small, and the third somewhat mediocre. Touching the groat one—Nancy goes for the Plate, has the race all her own way, and wins in a canter, but beats nothing worth nam i ng ; i t proves, however, that she is doing strong work and is in beautiful condition. People still say she is sure to win one of the great Newmarket goes, to which I reply by a strong negative. The .small fact is a stra nge fact, too, that old R a d u lph ue , with a welter weight up as usual, beats a tidy field very cleverly for the Sweep stakes. It strikes me forcibly that this Radulphus must be the shadow of that sturdy old animal the Bishop of Romford's Cob. The remain* fact is, that the Calcu lator, whose running is very much in and out, carrying weight for age, wine the cup from England's Glory with the most perfect ease. THE CESAREWITCH betting, in consequence of the repeated victories of the Goodwood Stable during the present week, has been materially altered in several important points; the greatest of which relates to the first favourite. Lord H. Lcnnox's veiled prophet, the great MOLANNA, so cele bratrd by Moore in his poetical effusion denominated " Lalla Rookh," is to be the mystic name to be circu lated through the length and breath of the land as the Premier for the Cesarewitch of 1851, I will not at the present moment say the victor, for that is very pro blematical, but I will venture to assert, that if he con tinues in his present form and work, he must be either first, second, or third. What are the odds ho does not figure in the last named place, and from nothing else but bad jockeyship? I have not as yet for gotten that his stable companion Landgrave, after winning the Triennial last year, was by nothing else than the cause just mentioned, or rather, perhaps I ought to say, incapacity from weakness, debarred from getting any nearer the primal position than third; and yet afterwards, with a clever jockey up in good health, carried off the Cambridgeshire triumphantly. So to those that are already on him at stiff prices, it would be the wisest to make sure by hedging, as netween now a n d t h e day of the race he is about cer tain to stand in the quotations at about 6 or 7 to 4. Rogers' couple of horses. Mr. Craa ford's Darkie 4 yrs, at 6st 101 b, and M r . Sh afto ' s Westow, 5 yrs, at 6s ' t 131 b, ought to be a couple of good outsiders for this race; who ever the winner is, dep en d upon it they will not be far in his rear. I am, Sir, yours, sze., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Oct. 3, 1851. FRANCE. The illoniteur de l'Arm4e announces that 188 of the 231 new brigades of gendarmerie, authorized by the law passed by the National Assembly some time before the recess, are now completely organized. A provincial paper states that 24 persons condemned for political offences, who have been sent from Paris and Lyons to Belle-Isle, arrived at Nantes on the 29:h ult . , and were immediately put into a steamer to be conveyed to their destination. As the boat was pas sing down the river one of the prisoners, seeing a con siderable number of persons assembled on the banks, shouted, " Vire la R 6 publique Democratique et So ciale!" but without obtaining a single response. The market women (les dames de la Halle) hay ing expressed a desire to have some souvenir of their .Ait to the Elys(Se and their kind reception by the President of the Republic the day after that on which the foundation stone of the Central Markets was laid, 400 medals in bronze have been struck and presented to them, with one in silver for the Doyenne—the senior. These medals have on one side the effigy of the President, and on the other the words—" Louis Napoleon, President de la Republique Pranc;aise, elu le 10 Decembre, 1848, par 5,534,520 electeurs." GERMANY. _ - During the past week several fatal cases of un doubted Asiatic cholera are reported as having oc curred at Breslau. The German journals contain occasionally some acc ounts of the proceedings of the German Democ ra ti c ` - ' ) mraittee s in London, which are not likely to be published anywhere else.

We had tak en refuge in an adjoining ce we had the pl easure of seeing our fat •.' benefactors in a ll th e i r g l ory. In the midst of the eoe.fualon a little undersized man climbed on to the table ar,d shrieked out t h at t h ey oug h t not to quarrel about trifles; that the resrlution should be kept, and that the insurrection should commence in eight days. A thunder ing ' Bravo' greeted hi m . Th e un d er - s i zed man thereon read a letter tro minkel. General att en ti on and bitter disappoi Kinkel.

Aristocrat!' The popular benefactors must have-wondered at the altered language of him who once chose as his motto the words—' We will lead into the enttict the passions, the hatred, and the THE SUN, hunger of the people.' Confusion again arose, during which the question wss a-ked, how the honour of the Assembly was to be saved? ' I will tell you,' shouted the undersized, as soon 23 the hour strikes. This aristocratic Englishman, this Kinkel, must be hanged! We must leave this country ! There is no field for us here any longer.' Then followed some vulgar ribaldry against the Q.leen and Prince Albert, which was re ceived with boisterous laughter. Now began a truly diabolical scene:—' I swear,' cried the undersized man,' that when the hour comes, no food shall pass my lips till I have strangled 40 of these aristocrats with my own hands. The child in the cradle ought not to be spared if it is the child of an aristocrat. The mothers of aristocrats shall be pursued to martyrdom and death 1' This csnnibal fury, which I have reproduced in the miletest expressions, seemed to shock the majority of the assembly itself, and we quitted the place and these out casts of humanity in disgust. * * Your readers will receive the above sketch with incredulity; I cannot blame them. Any one would think it impossible; and I, had I not been ear and eye-witness of the scene, should have held it, for the honour of humanity and of my na tive land, for thoughtless exaggeration. The democrats will affect disbelief; nevertheless the above description contains the strictest truth." The Duke of Anhalt has refused to carry out the extreme measures recommended by the clergy for en forcing a strict obeservance of the Sabbath. EXECUTION OF A MISSIONARY. A letter from Hong•liong, addressed to the Uni vers, gives the following details of the execution of a M. Schceffler, a missionary priest :—" On the Ist May, about noon, by order of the Grand Mandarin, elephants and horses were prepared, and two regiments of satellites were under arms. The muskets were loaded, and every one expected that it was an expedition against the rebels which was being fitted out, or that an attack was to be made on the haunt of some brigands. It was soon, however, under stood that all these preparations had been ordered for the execution of M. Schceffler. The Mandarin, fearing that the Christians would endeavour to rescue their missionary by force, wished to intimidate them by this display of troops. When his intentions were known, all the town showed the greatest affliction. The gaolers, the prisoners, and all those who had any connexion with the missionary, expressed their sor row and regret. M. Schceffler, on the contrary, was smiling with delight, and he prepared to walk to the place of execution with greater ease by dressing himself as lightly as pos sible. The Mandarin was apprehensive of a riot, and he took up his position on the ramparts, surrounded by his troops, all ready for action. The execution took place outside the town. The cortege of the martyr was arranged in the following manner :—Before him marched a soldier, carrying a board affixed to a pole, on which was written, 'Notwithstanding the severe prohi bition against the religion of Jesus, a European priest named Augustin has dared to come here clandestinely to preach and seduce the people. When arrested, he con fessed everything—his crime is evident. Let Augustin have his head cut off, and thrown into the river. Fourth year of Tu Du; First of the Third Moon.' Eight soldiers, with drawn sabres, marched by the side of M. Schceffler; one hundred men, armed with muskets or lances, formed the head of the proces sion ; two elephants formed the rear-guard. The martyr held up his chains when walking ; he walked quickly, as if hastening towards his triumph, and continually offered up thanksgivings. He was sur• rounded by an immense crowd; the greater num ber of these Pagans were struck with religious ad miration; there were some, however, who railed and blasphemed. On arriving at the place of execution., the,:martyr fellion his knees, kissed the crucfiix, three times, and, at the request of the executioner, he took off his coat, and turned down the collar of his shirt. The executioner having afterwards tied his hands behind his back, the martyr said to him, Do your business as quickly as possible.' No, no,' replied the Ma n d ar i n , w h o was in formed f what M. Schcefil,r had said, follow the signal of the cymbal, and only strike at the third sound.' The signal was given. The hand of the executioner trembled. He struck three blows of his sabre on the neck of his victim, and was at length obliged to cut the flesh with a knife, in order to detach the head from the body. In Cochin China those who are present at executions are accustomed to disperse immediately it is over, but on this occa sion, although the greater number present were Pagans, for there are very few Christians at Son Tay, they rushed forward to collect some drops of the blood, and to get some portion of the garments of the martyr. It was remarked that an inferior Man darin, a Pagan, before the execution, threw a coat of white silk, and a piece of white linen, at the feet of the martyr, in the hope that it would be stained with his blood. M. Schceffler thinking, doubtless, that they belonged to some Christian, took them up, and placed them inside his shirt next his heart. When the Chief Mandarin was informed of what his subor dinate had done, he ordered him t o r ece i ve severa l blows with a stick ; he, however, went off very delighted with the possession of his precious relics. The Christians obtained the body of M. Scheffler, but the head was thrown into the river, and had not been found when the above letter was written." BANK OF ENGLAND. (From this night's Gazette.)

SucAn.—To-day West India Sugar was operated in with reluctance for home consumption, although rather lower rates were acceded to, making a decline since Friday last of 6d for good to fine yellow, and 6d to Is for inferior brown and grey. Only 521 bhds were sold, including at auction 213 hhds 26 trcs 270 brls, which went off flatly; Barbadoes, low to mid yellow at 33s to 355, good mid to good 35s 6d to 38s, fine 38s 6d to 395, low brown 305 to 31s, mid to fine grainy yellow 35s to 41s 6d; St. Kitts, low yellow 323 6d; Grenada 325; Berbice, good to fine yellow 36s to 38, and low 32s per cwt. For the week i❑ all 1898 hhds and trcs have been disposed of. REPINED.—To-day rather lower being taken for Re fined Goods caused a better demund to prevail for home consumption, and brown Lumps were sold at 43s to 44s per cwt. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was operated in with reluctance, and rather lower rates were taken; at auction 755 bags sold, mid yellow at 33s to 33s 6d, ord 32s to 32s 6d, and good to fine brown at 308 to 318 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the public sales of Ben gal Sugar comprised 1,932 bags; white Benares sold at 41s to 42s for fine, mid to good 37s to 40s, good grainy yellow 39s to 403 6d; these are full rates, but other sorts went is per cwt lower, soft brown selling at 223 6d to 255, ord to mid yellow 263 to 29s per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day the private operations in Foreign Sugar were upo❑ a small scale, and at auction 310 cases 224 brls 200 bags Rio were all taken in and withdrawn. Prices have still a downward tendency. COCOA.—Although there are sellers of West India upon rather lower terms few transactions have taken place privately; Trinidad low to fine grey can be ob tained at 35s to 40s, common and mid red 40s to 435, better sorts 44s to 50s, and Grenada from 323 to 335. Parcels will be offered at auction shortly, and stock is 4,400 bags more than last year. There is not the least improvement in the demand for foreign; Guayaquil is offered at 30s; Bahia and Para at 26s to 275. COFFEE.—This afternon the private operations in Native Ceylon Coffee were upon a more extended scale, at 39s to 403 for good to fine ord., other sorts of Coffee were also more in request. At auction 2,223 bags Costa Rice sold at firm :ates ; went at 63s to 655, low mid 51s to 545, fine to fine ord 443 6d to 50i, good ord 43s 6d to 455, damaged 363 to 41s 6tl; 200 casks 33 bags Plantation Ceylon—grod to fine 55s to 60s, low mid to mid sls to 545, other sorts 433 to 50s, triage 403 to 425, pea berry 56s to 61s 6d. Of Rio 13 brls were taken in at 483 for fine fine ord washed; 7 cases Bombay sold at 36s to 493; 102 half bales Mocha taken in at 55s for damaged, but a few lots mid sou❑d sold at 703 per cwt. MOLASSES.—To-day at public sale 127 casks new Bar badoes Molasses were taken in at 14s 6d per cwt, being rather above the value. TEA .—Pablic sales are announced to take place on Wednesday; at present they comprise 10,000 pckgs. In common Congou transactions have been upon a more extended scale, at 9d to 9id ; other sorts from 10d to is Id. At these rates, however, merchants are disposed to sell. There are, however, few buyers of superior, or Pekoe kinds, which are in plentiful supply, and offered at from is Oid to is 6d. Oolong is rather more in demand at lld to Is 6d, but a reluctance is manifested to operate in Souchong, and there is a desire to sell ord and mid at 9d to Is, good to fine is ld to 2s. Green Tea, of low and mid quality met with a dull demand, and rates continue to decline, there. however, appears to be rather more doing in better sorts; still no advance in prices has been established. In Scented and Pekoe Teas sales continue upon the same small scale as for some time past, and merchants are desirous to realise. Some parcels have arrived. RICE.—To-day there was a lively demand for East India Rice, and the auctions went at fully former rates. Of Madras 7,333 bags were sold, mid to good pinky at 8s to 8s 6cl, ord 7s Gd to 8s; 2,065 bags Bengal, good white 9s 6d to 10s, and damaged 4s to 8s 6d. SPICES.—For Pepper, rather higher rates are ob tained. Privately sales of Penang have been made at 3id to 31d; clean Sumatra at 38d. At auc tion 970 bgs Malabar were sold at 3/(1 to 31d for heavy, and half heavy, but chiefly at 3ld to 3d. In white transactions are to a fair extent, at from 6d to 8d for ord to tine. Cayenne in small parcels realized from 9d to is 9d per lb. Pod Pepper is dull of sale at 35s to 50s per cwt, and supply is rather larger. On the part of holders of Pimento there is firmness; and several trans actions have taken place privately at 5d to 51d per lb for mid to good, the supply is yet limited. Cassia Lignea met with little attention. At auction 18 chests were taken in at 115 s for mid: 600 mats at 110 s for rather broken, but 73 chests were sold ; ord at 103 s to 104a1; mid, 107 s to Ilis ; and damaged 99s to 1021. Cassia Buds continue to be held for 115 s to 120 s, and are scarce. Prices further declined for East India Ginger, supply being plentiful. At auction 700 cases, and 200 bags Cochin were, however, all sold—low and ord went at 21s Gd to 295, mid to good 30s to 453: one lot fine 575, damaged realised from 19s to 365; 65 cases Bombay at 25s to 30s 6d for ord and mid sound. Of African 300 bags realized 245. There has been no public sale of Jamaica; and privately transactions are trifling, fine at 100 s to 170 s; other kinds from 40s to 98.. Mace is wanted, and supply remains small ; common to mid realized Is 9cl to 2s 2d, good to fine 2s 3d to 2s 6d. Nutmegs have been operated in with caution, and rates rather incline downwards —low and mid brown can be obtained at 2s to 2s Bd, good to fine 2s 9d to 3s 6d; low to fine limed is 8d to 2s Bd. Cloves are in better request, and few parcels are on offer; sales of Bourbon and African have been made at 61d to Sid; Penang is to is 3d. Cinnamon continues to attract little atten tion. The present value of Ceylon is from 9d to 34 3d per lb. COCHINEAL.—To -day Cochineal met with less atten tion, and rates were not supported. At auction 170 bags Honduras went at 25 9d to 35 3d for low to good silvers. East India Rum there is yet little busi• ness doing, although the low rates of is 3d to is 31d per gallon proof are accepted. There are few buyers of Leeward Island with sellers at is 4id to is 3id proof. Demerara has been in good demand, and realised for 32 to 40 per cent over proof 2s to 2s 4d, 28 to 30 ditto Is 10d to is 11d. Purchases to a fair extent have been made in better qualities of Jamaica, still holders are unable to obtain any advance; the lower kinds remain dull of sale with free sellers are late rates. We quote low to mid 28 to 33 over proof at 23 3d to 2s 6d, good mid to good 30 to 34 over 2s 7d to 2s 10d, fine and choice marks 33 to 38 over 3s to 4s 2d. Ilavannah is still to be had at Is 2d to is 24d, and there are few buyers. On the part ot holders ot Brandy there is confi dence, and a good business is doing. Prices for Cognac beat brands of the vintage of 1850 rule at 48 5d to 4s 7d, 1849 ditt 4s 7d to 43 9d, 1848 ditto 5s to 53 2d, older 5s 4d to 6s 4d, low .and mid sorts 2s 9d to 3s 9d, and Bordeaux 2s 2d to 2s 4d. For British made Spirits rates are firm at 93 5d to 9s 6d net cash, and Gin at is 10d for 22 under proof. Geneva met with a slow sale, ord at Is 7d,to Is Bd, and fine is 9d to 23 per bal. ,ii,FßUlT.—Since our last we have had two more cargoes of new Patras Currants, similar in quality to the first arrivals. The butts and caroteels are selling at 425, and the barrels at 435. A parcel of old damaged Currants, consisting of 69 butts 50 caroteels and 28 barrel Patras, 30 butts 18 caroteels and 18 barrels Cephalonia, was offered at public sale, a greater portion of the Cephalonias cold at 31s 335, but the Patras were all taken in, there being no bids. Several cargoes of new Valencia Raisins have arrived since our last, de mand languid et 37s to 38s. New Turkey Figs go off slowly at 42s to 70s; Sultanas and Muscatel Raisins dull at 60s to 70s per cwt. INDlGO.—Several parcels of East India that were de clared for auction on Tuesday next have been with drawn, and it is not likely that more than 14,000 chests will now bo offered. There are sellers of Sobres at 2s 4d to 3s Bd, and Cortes 3s 8d to 4s 9d. 6ALTITIRE.—To-day at public sale 491 bags Madras were taken in at 27i 6d to 28s for 31- to 2i per cent re fraction for fine quality. TALLOW.—To-day the sales of Tallow went off flatly at easier rates; 350 pkgs South American at 363 to 37s 6d; 290 cks Australian mutton 38s to 395, beef 363 6d to 373 9d; 33 cks of Italian 37s 6d to 37s 9d; 150 eks Petersburgh Soap taken in at 365. Oms.—To-day at auction 260 cks Ceylon Cocoa Nut Oil partly sold at 32s to 345; 60 tuns Polar Whale at 321 to 3 21153; 100 tuns Seal, pale 32115 s to 334 tinged and straw 311 to 321. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE PRESENT POSITION OF OUR RAILWAYS.—There are. now 6,464 miles of English railway constructed, at a cost of 205,160,000/.; the number of engines working o❑ them is 2,436 ; the average distance run per day being 110,333 miles ; averaging for the year 40,161,850 miles; the profits on the traffic paying from 11,000,000/. to 11 ,500,000/. into the hands of the shareholders. SOUTH STAFFORDSHIR E RAILWAY.—The Tipton branch belonging to this company, and which con nects it with the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley, is now ready for opening, which event will take place simultaneous with the opening of Stour Valley line in the course of the present month.

The portion of the line which was in course of construction by Mr. Ed wards, extending for ten miles out of Killarney, is to be completed by that contractor, and the thirty miles between that and the Mallow station on the Great Southern and western line will be contracted for by Mr. Dargan. The original Act granted to this com pany empowered them to raise a capital of 375,0001., in 251. shares ; but the amended Act of last session, which contains novel powers in railway legislation, decreases the capital to 225,0001., in shares of 151. each. The Act gives the company power to enter simultaneously into the possession of all lands and premises necessary for the making of the line. CORK AND YouGuAL.—Proceedings have been adopted under the provisions of the Cork and Water ford Railway Amendment Act of last session, which it is expected will ensure the entering on the works early in the ensuing spring. WORCESTER AND HEREFORD.—At an influential meeting of the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal Company, held last week at Gloucester, an agreement, made by a committee, for the sale of the canal for 60,0001. to the Worcester and Hereford Railway Company, was ratified and confirmed. The price, we understand, is to be taken out in shares. As will be seen by a lengthened report in another page, the inhabitants of Malvern held a meeting there on Wednesday last, when the project was submitted to their consideration and . warmly approved —not by expression merely, but by action, a con siderable number of shares having been subscribed for. The Mayor and his co-directors of this city have been earnestly engaged in promoting the sub scription for shares here, and, considering the unpo pularity which has fallen upon railway investments from various adverse causes, a tolerable measure of success has attended their efforts.— Worcester Chro nicle. LAZY INTELLIGENCE, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 2. (Before Mr. Corathissioner livANs.) IN RE COLYER. The binkrupt was described as Allen Colter, of Snargate-street, Dover, watchmaker. This was an exarninotion meeting. The following items appear on the balance-sheet :—Property left in his possession to pay composition on his debts of 103. in the pound, 1,5631.; creditors, 1,1841, ; cash recovered from a robbery, 851.; profits, 4591.; payments to creditors under composition arrangement, 1,4311.; good debts, 39/, ; property, 316/. ; housekeeping, rent, and taxes, 5501. ; interest and law, 630/. ; travelling and other expenses, 1141.; losses, 4951.

This was the last examination meeting in the bank ruptcy of Frederick Walter Froggett and James Tan Putten, of Mark-lane, corn merchants. The balance sheet from December 31, 1849, to May, 1851, shows the following :—Creditors, 15,292/. ; ditto holding security, 19,0661. ; profit and loss, irrespective of grain account, 1,0591.; capital, Van Putten, 1,1191.; Froggett, 6851.; cash, 336/. ; debtors', good, 8681.; doubtful, 1,8531.; grain held by creditors, 18,113/. ; loss on grain, 13,023/. ; amount drawn out by part ners---Van Putten, 1,..46/ ; Froggett, 1,301/. . . We understood that this examination was ad journed. The Learned Commissioner was too unwell to sit in court to-day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. William Moore, messenger to Mr. Osborne, news paper agent, was brought before Mr. Alderman Car den for final examination upon the charge of having robbed his employer of 10 newspapers. The prisoner —It was the first time I ever did any thing of the kind, and I shall never do so again. Committed for trial. William Brown was charged by a sergeant of the Royal Marines with having deserted from that corps between 15 and 16 years ago. The defendant most positively denied that he had ever enlisted or seen the sergeant before. The case, which excited a great deal of interest, was postponed for the production of witnesses. whelmed with misfortunes, and in a bad state of health. She had been recommended to his notice by the Rev. Mr. Qu.ekott, incumbent of Christ Church, Watney-street, and by the Rev. Mr. M'Caul, minister of St. Mary's Church, Back-road, both in St. George's parish, who had given her some relief. The mother and daughter, both widows, were very willing to emigrate to Australia, and the Rev. Mr. Quekett had kindly promised to obtain a free passage for them but they had no clothes except what they stood up right in, and no means of providing necessaries for the voyage. Mr. YARDLEY said, if a sovereign would be of any service to the distressed applicant, who had met with a series of calamities beyond the reach of human con trol, she might have one from the poor-box. He had no doubt her story was true—too true ; but a sove reign was all he could give her. He hoped that if this case should come under the notice of the benevo lent who had the means and the inclination to do good, that she would obtain some further assistance. The widow, whose sobs almost choked her utter ance and who with difficulty made herself understood, expressed her thanks to the magistrate for his dona tion, and left the Court. THE REGISTRATIONS. MIDDLESEX. Yesterday the revising barrister, Mr. Shadwell, held his court at the Albion Hall, Hammersmith, for the revision of the lists of voters in the polling dis tricts of Chiswick, Fulham, Hammersmith, St. Luke's Chelsea, and St. Mary Abbott's, Kensington. Mr. Alley Jones attended as agent for the Conser vatives ; and Mr. James for the Liberals. Mr. JONES objected to the name of Mr. George Thompson, M.P., being retained in the list, on the ground of misdescription of qualification. He found that the Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets, who was so deeply interested in the success of the freehold land scheme, and who went so much through the country instructing others how they could obtain the elective franchise, had misdescribed his own qualifica tion. Mr. Thompson was described, "George Thomp son, place of abode, 128, Sloane-street, county of Middlesex; nature of qualification, yearly tenant above 50/." His (Mr. Jones's) objection was, that a yearly tenant above 501. was not a qualification in conformity to the provision of the statute. Mr. G. E. Dennes, solicitor, who appeared profes. sionally for Mr. Thompson, who was also in court, said he could show the barrister that Mr. Thompson occupied a house in Sloane-street, as a " yearly tenant above 50/." BARRISTER-Mr. Thompson is objected to as not described accurately. Mr. Dennes—By the 40th section of the Act, sir, you have power to amend the description. Mr. Thompson is present, and will prove that he occupies the house 128, Sloane-street. _ Mr. Jones—l submit that the barrister has no power to amend. The 40th section of the Act 6th Victoria, cap. 18, enacts " that the Revising Barrister shall expunge the name of every person whose quali fication, as stated in any list, shall be insufficient in law to entitle such person to vote." The Act also provides that " the barrister shall not be at liberty to change the description of the qualification, as it ap pears in the list." BARRISTER—" Except," in the words of the Act, "for the purpose of more clearly and accurately defi ning the same." Mr. Jones—l submit, sir, that the qualification here is bad on the face of it; and that being so, you have no power to amend it. There is no mistake in the list ; the overseers have not made a mistake ; the mistake has been made by Mr. Thompson himself. He has not given himself a qualification. BARRISTER—Looking at the description, I find the words " Yearly tenant above 501." That means from year to year. Mr. Jones—A. " yearly tenant," that does not give him a qualification. He might be a yearly tenant of twenty houses " above 501. a year," and yet not an occupier, and, therefore, without a qualification. Mr. Dennes said he would prove the notice, and called upon Mr. Thompson, who said the signature to the notice was in his handwriting. Mr. Jones—When did you sign it, Mr. Thompson Mr. Thompson—l cannot answer precisely. Mr. Jones—Was it within a week ? Mr. Thomp• son—No. Mr. Jones—Was it within a month ? Mr. Thomp son—No. Mr. Jones—Was it within a year ? Mr. Thompson —Yes can speak to a year. Mr. Jones—bras it before you went to America, or since your return? Mr. Thompson—l think before. Mr. Dennes then elicited from Mr. Thompson that he had for four years occupied the house 128, Sloane street, at a yearly rent of 1001., and that he was bound by his lease not to let any part of it. The BARRISTER—Mr. Thompson has an occupa tion, but he has not described it in the manner in which the statute requires. I should like to secure him his vote, but I regret I cannot. Mr. Thompson then addressed the court, and sub mitted that he had complied with the Act of Parlia ment. He occupied a house at a rental of 1001. a year. Might he ask the Barrister if the spirit of the Reform Bill was not to give the qualification to tenants of 50/. a year and upwards, and whether he did not come within the provisions of the Act in that respect. The BARRISTER admitted that the spirit of the Act was to give the franchise to voters of Mr. Thompson's class ; but regretted that that gentleman had not de scribed his qualification properly. He must, there fore, expunge his name for the present year from the list, and he had come to that decision not without considerable regret. SIR CHARLES WOOD. A curious instance of he submission of man to fate, and the willingness to endure trickery and dis guised dishonesty, rather than be active in their re moval, is evidenced by the fact that Sir Charles Wood continues to hold the office of Chancellor of the Ex chequer. He has profited little by the sunshine and the dews of political life, and ministerial honours. His ripe manhood scarcely possesses more sapience than his budding youth ; and, like an unwholesome fruit, he must be plucked and cast away. The admission of this gentleman to the Cabinet, which on more than one occasion he has exhibited to the country in such a supremely ridiculous light, was a blunder of the Premier's, only to be accounted for on the ground of the overwhelming influence of the Greys. But better would it be for the nation that the Colonial and Home Secretaries should also be su• perseded, than that Sir C. Wood should again seat himself on the Treasury benches of the House of Com mons. So utterly incompetent has he shown himself to deal with the commercial and trading interests of a great nation; so exacting and harassing have been his application of the fiscal laws of the empire, such blunders has he perpetrated in straining law so as to divert legitimate profits of trade to the revenue of the country, that among the mercantile and trading classes his name is a terror, his continuance in office a dread. Particularly unfortunate is it that the Exchequer should be presided over by a man of such limited capacity, at a period when our whole commercial system is in a state of transition. Free trade is happily no l onger an ex periment; the Navigation Laws are gone. There are questions of external trade, however, arising out of these recent changes, which require exceedingly careful management by a mind grasping the whole bearings of the questions at i-sue. But here we feel somewhat assured, because international commerce does not fall peculiarly within the province of the Exchequer, but is likely to have the masterly supervision of the First Lord of the Treasury himself. It is in the department of the inland revenue more especially that the evil influence of Sir Charles is ex perienced. The income-tax we will now only men tion. Sir Charles Wood has admitted his inability to grapple with its unjust assessment of incomes arising from land and from intellect by the same standard. He has also done his best to prevent the judgment of others being informed on the questions he cannot grasp, by withholding the evidence taken before a Committee of the House of Commons. With regard to stamps used in the operations of business, the exigencies of the trade had for a long time required that they should be simplified and reduced. But instead thereof, a measure was passed which harassed and crippled trade more than before. And the sapient Sir Charles expected that tradesmen would expend their money in Government stock of this kind, and sell again to the public, with a profit not even sufficient to pay for the paper in which it was enclosed. It is true that, in the following session, he repealed a great part of the crude mea sure he had passed, and somewhat modified the im post itself; but such is the evil genius of Sir Charles, that at this time there are firms in the:City whoselpro fitsare yearly mulcted some hundreds of pounds more than under the system form er l y preva ili ng. I nstea d of slackening the gripe of Government on the com merce of the country, the Whigs have fastened upon it with even greater tenacity than the Tories them selves. The spirit and circumstances of the times require that knowledge should be free ; that intercommuni cation of thought should be unfettered as thought itself; that the wants and wishes of man should be uttered to his fellow man; that the riches of know ledge should be announced; that the misery of want should be muttered. Has Sir Charles evinced a desire to interpret liberally the statutes bearing on the press ? Under his presidency their operation, for purposes of revenue, has been strained to an extent utterly without precedent. The monthly chronicle of facts must be stamped, so also must be the extracted report of a trial. The pump-room gossips must not be informed of the arrival of a Peer, unless the official of the Stamp -office receives his fee; nor must the Bible Society any longer announce in its Monthly Reporter, notwithstanding its nine years' immunity, that " subscriptions will be thankfully received at," &c., without payment of ls. Gd. for the privilege. Is Sir Charles bent on making the taxes on know ledge so odious that they shall be intolerable ? Or is it not that the Chancellor's limited intellect pre vents him from apprehending great principles, and confines him to the considerati on o f t h e petty details of a desk or a store ? He exacts the utmost farthing —he abandons credit for cash ; he demands that all knowledge of passing events shall pay its toll and receive his brand. And this at a period when igno rance is felt to be a curse ; when education is strug gling for a place in a national polity ; when great social questions are being experimented; when Church government, based on priestly supremacy, is rocking to and fro ; when kingcraft and republicanism, tyranny and liberty, are armed for each others de struction. Is it at such a time that a man, unripe for his age, is to stand at the toll bar of commerce, and to hold the keys of knowledge ? Rather perish the Cabinet, and give us back the man-bracing struggles with pro tection and test acts, than that, being free, we submit to the burdens and restrictions of adolescence or of senility. Free trade and free thought, who shall refuse them ?—Morning Advertiser. SEABORNE MAILS.

THE NEW•ROAD.-0a Wednesday, at the meeting of the vestry of St. Pancras, a resolution was carried directing the contractors to 'pave one half of the New-road, between St. Pancras Church and King's-cross, with the granite blocks transversely, that portion with which they are at present proceeding being paved diagonally. The object is to set at rest by practic a l exper i ence the disputed point of whether the granite blo c k- pay i ng, iaict diagonally or transversely, is Paint durable. MARYLEBONE. The Government van brought up with other pri soners from the House of Detention, Clerkenwell, the woman, Ann Davis, who on Tuesday last was brought up to this court upon the horrible charge of having burnt her daughter Ellen Davis, eight years and a half old, with a red hot poker, and thereby inflicting upon her very serious injury. Mr. Fell, the chief clerk, read over the depositions which had been taken by him at considerable length, and while doing so the prisoner seemed to feel most acutely the serious situation in which she was placed, and shedding tears, buried her face in her hands. Mr. LONG now examined another witness. Whipp, 86 D, was sworn, and said—l am an officer attached to this court. On Tuesday last I ap prehended the prisoner by virtue of a warrant which was granted by your worship, and, on my reading it to her, she admitted to me that she had burnt her child with the poker. Mr. LONG—Before she made this admission that you have named had you made any promise or threat whatever ? Witness—None, Sir. Mr. Fell—Did you examine the child ? Whipp— I did, Sir. The wound was shown to me, and it was evidently caused by a burn. Mr. LONG inquired if there was any other witness, and, on his being replied to in the negative, he ad dressed the accused, saying—Prisoner at the bar, you have heard the evidence; do you wish to say anything in answer to the charge ? You are not bound to do so, but whatever you do say will be taken down i❑ writing, and may be used in evidence against you upon your trial. Do you now wish to say anything ?" Prisoner (still in tears)—No thing, Sir. The worthy magistrate (Mr. LONG), evidently under feelings of the deepest emotion, addressed the prisoner in the following words, which were listened to attentively by all in the Court:—For the offence with which you have been brought before me it is my duty to send you for trial at the sessions. I have the power of dealing with you summarily; but, in a case so flagrant as this, I cannot feel myself justified in doing so. It is painful to me to see a person of your respectable appearance charged with cruelty to your child, whom, as a mother, you were bound to cherish and protect, and it is really quite shocking that you should have treated her in the manner which has been deposed to. When you were first charged here you said that what you did was in the heat of passion, and that admission on your part showed that you were sensible of your having done wrong ; and I am willing charitably to hope that your conduct towards your child did not arise from a malignant and gene rally cruel disposition. lam now going to send you for trial, and what your sentence may be at the sessions it is not for me to anticipate ; but I cannot help imagining that it will be a severe one. I hope that in the solitary and gloomy walls of a prison, in which you will be placed prior to your trial, that you will, while in solitude, reflect properly upon the offence of which you have admitted yourself to be guilty, and that the spiritual advice and consolation which you will receive from the chaplain at the prison will have the effect of making you fully sensible of the enormity of the offence for which I now send you to trial. The prisoner, while being conveyed from the court to the van, in which she was removed to Clerkenwell House of Detention, was hissed and hoopted by a great crowd who had assembled to witness her de parture. CLERKENWELL. James Kemp, an elderly man of respectable ap pearance, was charged by Mr. William Wood Hors field, of the Bricklayers' Arms, Kingsgate-street, Holborn, with stealing a snuff-box. The prosecutor said that on Wednesday evening, at about seven o'clock, he was behind his bar, when the prisoner entered and asked if he could be provided with a bed, saying that he had come to London to see the Exhibition. On being answered in the affirma tive, the prisoner said he would go and fetch his luggage, and requested a pinch of snuff. Mr. Hors field handed his box, when the prisoner took a pinch, and the box was put upon the counter. The prisoner left the house, and the box being immediately missed, Mr. Horsfield pursued him, and traced him to the Orange Tree, Orange-street, Red Lion-square, where he had attempted a similar robbery, and he gave him into custody to William Cherryman, 153 F, who, on seaching him, other snuff-boxes, ice., were found in his , possession, and there was no doubt he had been in the habit of robbing licensed vic tuallers. Mrs. Elizabeth Hull, of the Orange-tree, Orange street, Red Lion-square, said, that on the same even ing the prisoner entered her bar, and said be had come to London to see the Exhibition and to inquire for a bed. He requested a pinch of snuff, but she told him she had lost her box. She asked him where he had come from. He replied, " Oh, you want to know too much." Mr. Horsfield came in and gave him into custody. William Cherryman, 153 F, proved having searched the prisoner, and finding two other snuff-boxes, a German silver teaspoon, and other articles, supposed to have been stolen. He said he did it through distress. A counterfeit half-crown and hat-box with a new hat in it were also found on him. _ _ Mr. TTRWEITT asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge, giving him the usual caution ? Ho replied that he was drunk at the time, and did not know what he had done, and he was sorry. He was fully committed for trial. THAMES. Mrs. Jane Robinson, an elderly matron, who was attired in deep mourning, and whose manner and ap pearance indicated that she had seen better days, came before Air. Yardley, and humbly solicited relief, under circumstances of a very peculiar and distressing nature. Mrs. Robinson said that she had been a house keeper in the parish of St. George's-in-the-East, where her husband formerly carried on business, for 41 years, and she had been the mother of 13 chil dren, of whom only one survived. She was formerly in affluent circumstance, but the death of her hus band, and a succession of calamities, had left her homeless and pennyless, In the course of the last two years she had lost three sons, who, after they had arrived at the age of manhood, died of consumption, after a very long and protracted illness. This be reavement was followed by the death of her husband, whose illness was also a long one, and attended with a vast expense, which nearly ruined her. In June, a 1850, her daughter's husband, who was ma t e of ship, died from a sun-stroke at sea, and her daughter was deprived of the means of support. For some time she maintained herself and daughter by needle work, which was very indifferently paid for, and by letting out part of her house furnished. A lodger contracted a debt of 201., by stating that he had a judge's order for 1351., and that when it became due he would pay her the arrears of rent. At the ap pointed time he had not the money, and she disco vered, when it was too late, that she had been im posed upon by a man who never meant to pay her. The landlord accordingly levied for 12 months' rent, and seized everything she possessed, and also the goods of a lodger, for whom she paid 245. to enable her to recover her goods from the broker. This was the finishing blow to her misfortunes, and herself and daughter were now in the greatest possible state of distress. They had subsisted for the last three months by the sale of her husband's books and their own wearing apparel. Those resources were quite exhausted, and as a last extremity and with great re luctance she now made this public appeal. Mr. Levingston, the chief usher of the Court, knew the applicant to be a most deserving woman, tier- SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. A quarterly court of the governors of this hospital was held on Wedneday at the offices of the corporation, Crane-court, Fleet-street; Mr. Nesbitt in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, the minute s o f t h e relief- committee were read, from which it appeared that in July there were 210 applicants for relief, among whom 154/. was distributed ; in August there were 205 applicants, who were relieved to the extent of 153/.; and in September, 205 applicants, who received 151/., in each case, exclusive of pensioners. The total receipts had been 2,3741. 135,, and the expenditure, including 1,785/. in pensions and relief, 2,2411. 35., leaving a balance of 1331. 10s. in the hands of the bankers of the corporation. The seal of the hospital having been affixed to a warrant of attorney, to enable the Bank of England to receive certain dividends belong ing to the corporation from the South Sea Company, the chairman handed to the governors the key of the strong box of the hospital, recently held by the late Mr. W. Hamilton, one of the oldest and m os t con sistent supporters of the charity, to whose philan thropic character and virtues the chairm an pa id a tribute of respect, a minute of which was ordered to be placed upon the record of th e p roceed i ngs of the day in commemoration of the respect universally en tertained for him by the governors of the hospital. Mr. Kirtle was requested and consented to hold the key until St. Andrew's day, when a new election of trustees, of whom there are three, each holding keys, must take place. A motion was then brought for ward for altering the age a t w hi c h part i es b orn i n England of Scottish parents are permitted to apply for relief from 70 to 60 years of age. In the course of discussion, however, it appearing that the charit able committee have the power of relaxing the rule in cases of necessity —a power of which they gene rally appear to have been ignorant—the motion was withdrawn. After the transaction of some routine business of a purely private character, the meeting separated. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
