CAMBRIDGESHIRE. 5 to 1 agst Breba S to 1 apt Nevrminster—taken 16 to 1 agst Prime Minister 16 to 1 agst Heriot 100 to 6 agst Mountain Deer 20 to I agst Ariosto 20 to 1 agst Darkie 25 to 1 agst CAndlewick—taken 25 to 1 agst Curl 30 to 1 agst The Nigger 33 to 1 agst Neasham 33 to 1 agst Haricot 33 to 1 sgst Hernandez FRAN CE. As well as the sentiments of Orleanists and Legiti matists can be gathered, they will combine against ,Louis Napoleon. They will, for the sake of retaining popular kfluence, agree to an enlargement of the Barrage, and for the sake of union amongst them selvt:s agree upon the name of a candidate for the Presit2ency. Tne Orleanists, although they withdraw the nan.le of the Prince de Joinville, will yet keep it in prospect as a sa l u tary menace to all parties, the Legitimatists included. The Republican journals are very angry at the decree which declares the two de partments while Cher and the Nievre to be in a state o f siege, those of the party of order highly approve of it. General Rapatel has published a farewell address to the 9..3. Legion of the National Guard, on his re signing the command, in consequence of the state of his health. We read in the Moniteur Purisien— A change of Ministry is again talked of at Turin. The serious and still pending question between the Holy Set , and the Piedmontese Government more and more embarasses the present Cabinet. The King has decided to make an effort to obtain from the Pope the sanction of measures which have been adopted in spite of the Con cordat, and for this purpose had fixed on the Marquis Spinhia for the Roman embassy; but it appears that the mission of the Noble Marquis has been postponed, and that it will be the Chevalier Sambuy who will go to prepare the means of an arrangement which is anxiously des,'red by every one." It will be remembered that the advocates, in the case of the Lyons plot, which was tried by court martial in that city, refused, when the evidence was completed, to defend the accused. The Minister of Justice ordered the Procureurs-General of the bars, which these advocates belonged to, to lay complaints against them before the respective Councils of Disci pline. In consequence of this the Council of the Order of Lyons suspended the advocates belonging to that bar for a month; and the Council of the Order o! Bourges has just suspended M. Michel (de Bcurges) for three months. The latter decision was given by default, M. Michel (de Bourges) not having a ppeared. Odilon B3rrot is at present at Marseilles. GERMAN Y. An attempt at i a ssassination was made on the even ing of the 19th, n the forest near Frankf or t, on th e person of M. l'Echevin Dr. de Heyden. He was taking a walk in the forest, on the Schwanheim side, when suddenly some person concealed behind a bush fired at him, and wounded him in the arms and hand, and also in the body. A surgeon was fortwith sum moned to the assistance of the wounded burgomaster, w ;io, on arrival, examined the wounds, and found them more or less serious, but none of them, it is thou] ht, very dangerous. After the wounds were dressed M. de Heyden was carried into the town. The police are in search of the would•be assassin. The atteck caused great sensation in the Senate and city. The Voss . Gazette, under date of Cracow, 17th, says :—" During the residence of the Emperor at Wieliezka, the vast salt mines presented an appear ance really magical. Thousands of torches illumi nated the blocks and the pillars of salt. The Empe ror has allowed one of the mines to take the name of Francois Joseph. In one of the subterranean vaults the Emperor was received by a wedding party of peasants, who were dancing the Cracovienne a nd the Mazourka and singing songs. The bride presented hi. Majesty with a nosegay of flowers, and a parry of young girls scattered flowers before him as be walked. Between Wieliezka and Bochnia the in habitants of the village of Adow took the horses out Df the Emperor's carriage and drew it for a quarter of a i l hour." .Fl telegraphic dispatch from Venice to Vienna an non.nces that the reported assassination at Bologna of the v, , e11-known tenor Fraschini by the baritone Col lini is devoid of all foundation. According to the Lloyd, the Pesth Court (Landes gericht) has summoned Count Casimir Batthyani to appear on the 12 . 11 of November, " to give an account of the way in which be had disposed of a certain capi tal of 1.000f1., the property of the Pesth Institution of infants." This is neither more nor le<s than a base attempt to lower the character of the unfortunate exile. DENMARK. The Weser Gazette has received a telegraphic communication from Hamhurgh, dated the 20th inst., stating that the Ministerial crisis had terminated. The Minister DE REETZ, CHARLES MOLZE, and SIM.. GER leave the Cabinet. These Ministers belonged to the united Monarchy party. The Privy Councillor BLumE has taken ad interim the office of Foreign Affairs, and General FLEMBURG that of War. The Hamburger Nachrichten says that it is autho rised positively to contradict the report that proposals i.lve been made to the Duke of AUGUSTENDURG to al love him a yearly income of 80,000 dollars as an in demnity for his renunciation of the Danish Throne; no such proposal has been made, and if made would certainly be rejected. It is expected that the new Ca binet will present its programme to the Chamber next week. The two most important questions will be the Schleswig-Holstein question and that of the saccession. HOMAGE TO KOSSUTH AT DERBY. The Derby Reporter states that on the telegraphic dispatch, announcing the landing of Kossuth in Eng land, being received yesterday at Derby, the joy bells of St. Werburgh's church struck up a merry peal, and continued ringing at intervals duri ng th e evening. TRUC I IVE FIRE AP LEITH.-ME LANCHOLY LOSS OF LIFE. On Wednesday night one of the most disastrous conflagrations occurred with which Leith has for a long time been visited —not only involving the de struction of a large amount of valuable household pro perty, but attended, we regret to say, with the death of one unfortunate individual while engaged in the re moval of some furniture. The scene of the diaster is an extensive range of buildings near to the south side of the docks, forming the corner composed by the junction of Coburg and Dank-street. Four or five stories in height, and comparatively of but recent erection, they were occu pied by the families of a large number of respectable tradesmen and workpeople ; w bile the ground-floor was devoted to shops, of which the two principal were the spirit c e ll ar o f M r . D r y s d a l e , a n d th e pre mises of Messrs. P o l e an d P eterson, provision mer chants. The flames were first discover e d a b ou t seven o ' c l oc k /1 e in the evening, when they w h ere seen i ssu i ng w i th considerabl e violence from a sm a ll apar t ment i n t h e second floor fr om the top, believe.occu As yet th e or i g i n to pied by a woman w h o resided alone —a w id ow, we a mystery be ascertained dur of the fire remains j u g the investigation s b y the proper d authorities ; b ut i t is conjectur e d with a considerabl egree of plausibility fire must hav e th a t some clothes hanging before the accicie. n tally come in contact w i t h the flames ig nited the flo o r. However th at may be, certain n that the' conflagra tion soon assu med a most for m idable appearan ce, appearavc e, and on the arrival of the Leith fire -en gines and brigade , assisted b y one from t he Artillery Fort, the work of sub j ection b y no means a ppeared to be a task of easy accomplishment. At first, indeed, the flames were solely confined t o the floor :M which they first made their appearance, and the firemen having, under the judicious directions of Superitttendent Grant, concentrated their efforts on this portio n of the premises, their further progress was under a delug e of water—of which, by the way, there ° was he p p il v a most abundant supply—spee dily s t a y e d. No sooner, however, was this effected than they bu rst forth withh redoub ledatnonderingl energy in the roof ; while still almo s t equal ow down, they there re-appeared with spread violence.thv oug h, By this time the alarm ha d the lurid g lave of ti ne whole quarter, and guided by a consider), Lble mob e al !lames illuminating all around, neral exaitornent was people had assembled. The ge prevailed, said with the added to by the confusion which the danger, the various tenants proceeded sod distracted rnah.ne.,cld articles in the most the creased in intensitY ; but, throughanwhile the fi st am hurried and continued exertions o f the well-directed in- confined to the root, and highere firemen, they e w ct e e r d in g ; and, ultimately, by about peolrtions of the build! were so far subdued that all further o'clock, the appreh _. o 3' I were allayed. -u.l ns Long before this, however, the whole of the pre - n; bail assume d as dismantl e d an d ruinous anpoP peirauce as could well b e imagined. The roof had in thost places been consumed. The floors of the upper stories were almost wholly destroyed and covered with rubbish, while the lower portions of the P rerpiats l which had of course been prerioubly entirely clea: red of their furniture, were deluged in all qua: Ins by the constant stream of water whict t fell copiously through every floor in succession . In the midst of the operations a cry was rais, ?d that a man was missing. He had been busy in the earlier part of the night in removing his furniture, and now his unaccountable disappear ance was first noticed by his wife, who, with three children, had with the rest been disinhabited by the unforeseen calamity. Apprehensive of what, alas ! was soon verified to be the result, two firemen were dispatched through the building o f him ; and aft e r ma ki ng an en trancethe room he oc cu pi e d, the in se search of un fortunate man was discovered in a bed-closet, with life entirely extinct. He had a German clock in one hand, and had evidently been making his return from what, judging from the desolate appearance of the room, might have been his last visit, when overcome by the smoke, he speedily fell a victim to the stifling agency. The attendance of two surgeons was pro cured without delay. The body was carefully removed to a safer part of the premises (where it remained during the rest of the night, his wife being still kept in ignorance of the occurrence), but all efforts to restore animation proved unavailing. He was named Watson, was a man of about 40 years of age, and was em ployed in connexion with the engine at the sugar works in the vicinity. The room in which he was discovered did not seem to be much devastated by the flames, and it had been entered by some of the fire men in the course of their ordinary operations previ ously ; but the fact of his having been overpowered in the bed•closet prevented his being discovered till too late. Several of the people who have sustained any loss from the destruction of furniture, &c., were insured, but most of them, we believe, were not , and are more over of a class little able to bear it. The building is principally owned by Mr. Hampton, cooper in Leith, and most unfortunately for him his insurance expired only a few days ago, and has not since been renewed. The damage to house and property is altogether estimated at little under I,oool.—Caledonian Mercury. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

INDIGO.—There has been a greater disposition on the part of merchants to sell ord low and defective qualities of Bengal at the quarterly sales,:and the rates accepted are now 4d to 6d per lb under those current in July, still the demand has been limited, especially for home consumption, and the trade do not appear dis posed to purchase more than sufficient for their imme diate wants; the mid, good, and fine sorts have been operated in with reluctance; rates also continue to recede, and are 2d to 3d under th 2 last quarterly sale. Dry leaf Madras of fair and good quality as well as Kurpeh, however, continues in good request, at an advance pre viously established of 2d to 4d, but lower qualities yet sell heavily at a reduction of 2d to 3d. Oude purchased with reluctance, and terms compared with July exhibit a decline of 2d to 4d per ib.

ONSLOW, R.M.-- The court-martial on First Lieutenant Onslow, R.M., concluded on Wednesday. The charge was, that the said First-Lieutenant Onslow was drunk at guard mounting on the morning of Sept. 25, 1851, when officer of the barrack guard, of which duty he had been previously warned. Lieut.-Colonel Waring, First-Lieut. and Adjutant Forbes, and Captain Leveson, of the same corps, were examined in support of the charge, and nine non-commissioned officers for the defence, in addition to Captains Fosbroke, Searle, and ',owls, who spoke to character. The examinations have been of the most lengthy and tedious character. The defence set up was that the prisoner had, on the morning of the 25th September, suffered severely from illness, from which the appearances that led to his being placed under arrest resulted. The clearness of the evidence on this point, and the very high cha racter given the prisoner, it is presumed, cannot fail to lead to his acquittal. Mr. Henry Elworthy, solicitor, of Stonehouse, acted as professional adviser to Lieut. Onslow. Lieutenant Selby Lilburn (1845) died at Pem broke Dock, October 8. lie passed his examination November, 1834, was promoted in 184,5, after serv ing for several years on the coast of,Africa, and sub sequently served in the Penelope steam-frigate on that station.

The entertainments given by M. Lassaigne and Madlle. Prudence, in animal magnetism, went off in the most satisfactory manner, and amidst enthusiastic applause. ROYAL ORTHOP2EDIC HOSPITAL FOR THB CURB oN CLUB Foor, &c.—On Monday a lecture was delivered at the above institution on the nature and treatment of de formities by Mr. R. W. Tamplin, F.R.C. S., the senior surgeon of the hospital. It appears that the treatment of club foot and other distortions wus until a few years since confined to mechanical applications, and in the majority of severe cases was either wholly unsuccessful, or attended only by partial or temporary relief. A new and successful treatment, based upon surgical and scientific principles, was discovered by Delpech, of Montpelier, afterwards carried out by Dr. Stro meyer, of Hanover. and from thence introduced into this metropolis by Dr. Little. The operation is simply the di viding of the tendons, by which extreme adult cases of con traction and deformity can be cured in a few weeks or months, and those of children in a much shorter period. Since the opening of the Royal Orthopxdic Hospital no less than 12,000 of individuals have been cured, and there are upwards of 700 now in regular attendance to receive the benefits of the charity. EXTRAORDINARY MAIL FROM INDlA.—Yesterday morning the largest mail which has ever arrived from India was brought to the Post-office, in St. Martin's-le-Grand. It consisted of not less than 104 boxes, there being, in addition, four large portmanteus or bags ! MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris is at about par (according to the new tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.17 ; and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25.271, it follows that gold is about 0.41 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advises from Hamburgh the price of gold is 429} per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.71; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.8, it follows that gold is 0.35 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour of England ; but, after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves no profit on the I iroporratien 9f gold from the United States.. POLICE INTELLIGEN CE. GUILDHALL. 51. Alfred Boulanger, a corn and flour merchant, of Amiens, at present residing at the Union Hotel, Sal isbury-square, Fleet-street, was placed at the bar bet"( ore Sir Peter Laurie, charged with stealing 7,000 fran cs (2911. 13s. 4d.), from the person of Mons. P. Ver(ld, of 28, Panton-street, Haymarket. A gentleman from Mr. Hobler's office attended for the p xisoner ; but the prosecutor did not appear at all. Sill. PETER LAURIE—What is the reason that the prose cutor does not come forward ? Daniel May (the detec Live officer)—The gentleman who gave the pri soner into custody is a foreigner, and cannot speak English. He, however, appeared to understand that his presence was required here, and promised to come. Sir PETER LAURIE—As he does not think proper to attend, I should like to know upon what grounds he gives this prisoner into custody upon so important a charge, without appearing to substantiate it, there fore, May, you had better state the circumstances. • Daniel May—From the statement made to me by the prosecutor, on first engaging my services in this case, it seemed that prisoner and prosecutor were con versit4; together in the Corn Exchange, in Mark land, on Monday, the 20th of October last, when the former; stole from the person of the latter a portfolio containing 7,000 francs. I have since heard that some business transactions took place in France be tween them, in which prosecutor accused prisoner of having acted fraudulently, and . upon meeting him accidently here gave him into custody. Prosecutor mentioned nothing to me about the charge until, as he said, he thought prisoner was about to escape. Sir PETER LAURIE—Where did you .see him, and at what time ? Daniel May—l met him this morn ing at half past ten at the French Ambassador's office lin Chancery-lane. Prisoner, in having these circumstances conveyed to him by means of an interpreter, said that the only commercial transactions that had taken place between them occurred a long time ago. The solicitor for the prisoner said that the prosecu tor, finding prisoner was about to return to his own country, bad made use of this ruse to detain him here while a warrant was obtained in another quarter to apprehend him on another charge. Sir PETER LAURIE—As far as I can see in this matter, May has acted very properly, but at the same time it is evident to me that this charge has been trumped up at the eleventh hour, and without any foundation, in order that prisoner may be detained while other proceedings are being taken to prevent his leaving this country. It is a disgraceful case, and I am very sorry that any gentleman should have been so illused here, but at the same time it is very grati fying to know that the prisoner has to thank his own countryman for such treatment, and that it is not the act of an Englishman. I feel great pleasure in dis charging him, and can but regret he should have been given into custody at all. On this communication being made to the prisoner, he thanked the Alderman and retired. Neil Zkt'Shane, a middle-aged man, was charged with committing an assault upon Margaret Bosphor with a poker, whereby her life was greatly endan gered. After partly hearing the case, the prisoner was remanded. CLERKENWELL. Charles Williams (supposed to be fictitious), a well-dressed young man, who refused to give his ad dress, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, in the cus tody of Sergeant Cole, 22, and Randall, of the N divi sion, charged with having attempted to pick pockets. It appeared from the evidence of the officers that on Tuesday last the ceremony of confirmation was cele brated by the Bishop of London, in Islington Church, which was crowded to excess, principally by ladies. At the conclusion of the service, whilst the congrega tion was leaving the church, the prisoner and a nu merous gang of the swell mob were observed in va rious parts of the crowd, hustling ladies, and attempt ing to pick their pockets. The prisoner was evidently the ringleader of the gang, and the above officers took him into custody, when he resisted and assaulted them, and Randall was severely injured by the priso ner's violence. After a most determined effort on the part of the officers, he was locked up in the station house. Mr. COMBE—You refuse to give your address ? Prisoner—Yes; for the sake of my friends, who are respectable. Mr. COMBE—If you are respectable, you ought not to be afraid or ashamed of your residence, or to bring forward your friends to prove your respectability ; do you still refuse ? Prisoner—Well, I live in Mary street. Mr. COMBE—What Mary-street ? Prisoner— Mary-street, Drury-lane. The whole of the officers in court concurred that they knew no such place as Mary-street, Drury-lane. Mr. CoMßa—What are you ? Prisoner (hesitat ingly)—l am a tailor by trade.—(A laugh.) Mr. COMBE inquired whether the ladies could be brought forward whose pockets the prisoner attempted to pick ? Sergeant Cole said it was probable that they might be brought forward. 111 r. COMBE—I shall not part with you. If you don't give a better account of yourself, you will be committed for trial. Prisoner—Can't you settle it here, my board, at vunce ; it 'ill save a great deal of trouble. I am as hinnocent as a babby. Mr. Comas—You are remanded for a week. Send for your respectable friends. Mary-street, Drury lane, was like " No. 2, over the water."—(Laughter.) The prisoner was then remanded for a week. Prisoner—l wish, my board, you would do it summary. _ _ He was locked up, and eventually conveyed to pri son in the police van. WESTMINSTER. Thomas Watson, a young man, was charged with committing a number of robberies. Mr. Joseph Darker, of 4, White Horse-street, Piccadilly, proprietor of coffee and dining-rooms, stated that the prisoner, who represented himself as a visitor to the metropolis for a few days, came to lodge at his house on the 14th of September, and left abruptly early on the morning of the 9th inst., without paying his bill. Shortly after his departure prosecutor missed five waistcoats, some trowsers, and other articles of wearing apparel, from his drawers in the prisoner's sleeping-room, which had been left locked. A number of pawnbrokers produced portions of the missing property. William Sinkins, 830 A, proved finding the du plicates relating to these articles concealed in the lining of the prisoner's hat, when he took him into custody. He also produced an article of wearing ap parel belonging to the prosecutor,, which he found in his possession. Prisoner, with tact, cross-examined the prosecutor, but elicited nothing to his advantage. His only reply to the charge was, that he was the owner of one of the articles of wearing apparel positively identified by the prosecutor. lie was committed for trial. John Cooper, a tailor, occupying apartments at the Red Lion, Princes-street, Westminster, was the next complainant. The prisoner, with the same story as before, took a lodging there on the 14th instant, and decamped on the morning of the 17th, when the pro secutor discovered that a drawer in which his clothing was kept had been forced, and his apparel carried off. G. Barker, a clothier, produced the stolen property, which had been sold to him by the prisoner, who alleged it was his own. The accused, who made no defence, was also com mitted upon this charge. Benjamin Harbour, waiter at the Red Lion, exhi bited a complaint against the prisoner for stealing all his clothing, and some money, from his room. Immediately after the prisoner had decamped from the house the waiter discovered that his drawers had been opened by some means, and all his wearables, with 10s. in silver, carried off. A portion of the pro. perty which had been sold with Mr. Cooper's by the prisoner, was produced. The accused was further committed upon this charge. _ _ JOl2n Purser, a traveller, from Huntingdon, who was staying for a few nights at the Red Lion, proved that on going to bed the night before the accused left, he placed his trowsers under his pillow, and in the morning discovered his purse and 13s. 6d. gone. He went in quest of the prisoner, and meeting him in Newgate-market gave him into custody, when he saw him drop the purse and a quantity of silver money, corresponding with what he had lost. Prisoner, who set up a plea of innocence to this charge, was also committed for trial upon it. Mr. Symonds, an inspector of the B division, said there was another charge against the prisoner for robbing Bridget Carroll, a poor servant girl at a tavern. He had asked her to lend him 55., when she took down a little work-box with a sovereign in it, in order to assure him that she had no change, when he adroitly substituted a gift medal for the sovereign. Mr. BRODERIP thought it unnecessary to proceed with this case, as prisoner already stood committed on four charges. PRO4TECTED TUBULAR BRIDGE ACROSS THE MER SEY.-Mr. Cunningham, architect, of Liverpool, has sub mitted a project to the directors of the various railway com panies interested in the communication between Birkenhead and Liverpool, for a railway to cross the Mersey, and thus connect Birkenhead and Liverpool for all kinds of transit. Mr. Cunningham proposes to sink an iron tube in the bed of the river, buried so completely below the surface thereof that there would be no more obstruction to the currents than at present. The tube would have perpendicular sides and an arched roof. It would be placed in a prepared bed, and would be protected outwardly by various contrivances. Inter nally there would be two lines of rails running on each side of the tube with a passage in the middle for pedestrians. The entire work, it is estimated, would cost not more than 250,0001. It would form a complete means of transit for goods, railway passengers, and pedestrians between Liverpool and Birkenhead, besides opening a communication to a n from Liverpool for all the railways feeding the Cheshire junction. ST. CLEMENT DANES. Yesterday evening a vestry meeting was held in the vestry-room of the parish of St. Clement Danes, to fix the amount of the third rate to he assessed for the necessary relief of the poor, and to elect the offi cers who hold places of emolument in the parish for the ensuing year. The Rev. W. W. Ellis, the rector of the parish, occupied the chair. The minutes of the preceding vestry meeting having having been read and confirmed, Mr. J. F. IsAecsoN, the vestry clerk, stated, with reference to the existing nuisances in Holy well street, Newcastle court, and other parts of the pa rish, that he had, by the direction of the churchwar dens, recently waited o❑ the Commissioners of Police, for the purpose of making a representation to them on the subject of those nuisances, and to solicit their aid in putting them down. He was received by them with the utmost politeness, and, on hearing his state ment, they begged him to convey to the churchwar dens the expression of their regret that their time was so fully occupied that they could not undertake to address themselves immediately to the abatement of the nuisances in question, but that they would lend their assistance in every possible way to the parish in any endeavours they might make with that view. The churchwardens' monthly accounts for August and September were then audited. The meeting next proceeded to fix the amount of poor-rate. Mr. IsAACSoN said the accounts showed that the balance due to the bankers was 331. 103. Bd. ; on ac count of the guardians' warrant, 1,650/. ; in respect of county rates, 272/. 55. 3d. ; jury lists and registration expenses, 50/. ; and fire awards, &c., 50/. ; total, 2,055/. 15s. 11d. • to meet which there was available from the rate-books 180/. ; leaving a balance to be provided for by rate of 1,875/.155. 11d. Mr. PETERS proposed that a rate of 7d. in the pound be collected for that purpose. He said that in ordinary circumstances a rate of 6d. in the pound was sufficient to raise the necessary sum for the maintenance of the poor, but on this occasion it had been found desirable to add another penny to make up the deficiency caused by the empty houses in theparish, which were greatly on the increase. Mr. WooDwARD said that in Mr. Shirvill's district alone 1501. had been lost during the last quarter by empty houses. . _ Afier some little discussion, the motion was put and carried. The meeting then proceeded to inquire into the sufficiency of the sureties proposed for the several col lectors of the land and assessed taxes, with which they expressed themselves satisfied. The officers who hold offices of emolument in the parish were next severally elected—viz., Mr. J. F. Isaausuu, as vestry cleric, at a salary of 1501 ; Mr. Samuel Brown, as organist, at 65/. ; Mrs. Mary Ann Fitch, as sextoness, at 951.; Mr. Joseph Norman, as vestry-keeper, 501.; Mr. Wln. Boyle, as winder of church clock and changes, at 21/. ; Mr. Wm. Smith, as organ blower, at 10/. ; and Mr. Richard Baker, as beadle, at 301. A vote of thanks to_the chairman terminated the proceedings. LAURA ADDISON, CATHERINE HAYES, AND JENNY LIND. (From the New York herald, Oct. 11.) BROADWAY THEATRE.—The great success of Miss Laura Addison in the play of the Patrician's Daughter, the house being visited every night by the most en lightened and discerning audiences, who express their pleasure and satisfaction by the most enthusiastic cheering, will be repeated to-night, with the same excellent cast of characters. She will be assisted by Messrs. Conway, Fenno, Madame Ponisi, and other artistes of great dramatic celebrity. The entertain ments will close with Platonic Attachments, in which Davidge, a very fine actor, and a great favourite, with Mr. Shaw, Mrs. Abbott, Miss Crocker, in the leading characters. Those who wish to enjoy a delightful treat, in the classic and beautiful performances of Miss Laura Addison, who has won golden opinions since her first appearance at the Broadway theatre, should avail themselves of this opportunity. This evening Catherine Hayes gives the ninth and last of her present series of concerts in this city. On Monday she proceeds to Boston, and sings there on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday evening, the 15th, she sings at Providence, and on the 16th at Boston again. How many concerts she intends to give at Boston is not as yet determined ; but it is probable she will return to New York by about the 3d of November, when she will give a few concerts more before she proceeds on her tour South and West. Last evening she attended Fellows' Minstrels, and subsequently the performances of the Wiaard of the North, at the Astor Place Theatre. During the day she visited the High 'Bridge. Her concert on Thurs day evening was about the best of the present series. The enthusiasm was intense, and the house was filled to overflowing. Father Mathew was in attendance. The committee of arrangements for the Conover benefit have handed us the following note : " 300, Broadway, New York, Oct. 9, 1851. " Gentlemen,—At the request of Miss Catherine Hayes, I enclose you twenty-five dollars in aid of the funds for the benefit of the family of the late William Conover, comedian, and am desired to say that her own professional engagements will not allow her to be present as desired by you. While the committee must be aware of the numerous applications made to her fur relief from . her own destitute countrymen, she hopes this will be an apology for the small sum placed at your disposal. Be pleased to accept, Gen tlemen, assurances of esteem and good wishes for the success of this praiseworthy object. "For Miss Catherine Hayes, "J. H. WARDWELL. " James Turner, Esq., Chairman Com. of Arrangements, Conover Benefit." Jenny Lind, assisted by Salvi, Joseph Burke, Otto Goldsmith, Belletti (not Belletti, the bary tone, who sang with Miss Lind before), will commence her second musical tour on the 15rh of the present month at BuffAlo, whence she will proceed to Toronto, De troit, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, thence to New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. She will be here about the 15th of December, and will give her last concert in New York. Benedict has gone to Naples, owing to the illness of his wife, and Giovanni Bel letti is under an engagement to Lumley, to sing in Paris and London, from November to June, begin ning at Paris and ending in London. From this it may be inferred that Jenny Lind will not appear in opera, as has been stated. She has in fact made up her mind, finally, never to appear in opera again, and she will probably adhere to her resolution. FATAL AFFRAY WITH POACHERS. MANSFIELD, OCT. 23.—During the pant week great exertions have been made by the local authorities to discover the members of a desperate gang of night poachers who have been accustomed to infest the pre serves in this neighbourhood in large numbers, armed with boulders, flails, and bludgeons, so as to be pre pared to cope with the keepers if they chanced to fall in their way. _ _ . . _ On Monday night, the 13th instant, about thirty poachers, thus armed, were pursuing their nightly occupations on land at Rufford, belonging to the Earl of Scarborough, when they were encountered by the keepers and watchers, ten in number, who, anticipat ing the encounter, were all armed with flails made purposely for their use. The handles were about four Feet long, and the piece of wood, attached by a swivel to the end, was fifteen or sixteen inches in length. The flail, in former days, was much used on such oc casions as these, and not unusually they were loaded with lead ; but they met with the universal condem nation of the judge, and had gradually gone out of use, until it seems they have been revived shortly previous to this affray, the chief incidents of which will be gathered from the following evidence, taken at an inquest held to-day, before Mr. Falkner, one of the county coroners, upon the body of William Ro berts, who was killed during the affray on the night in question. Frederick Edward Brock, of Rufford, gamekeeper, deposed —I am in the service of the Earl of Scar borough. On the night of the 13th instant, I, with nine others, was concealed amongst Machin's gorse, at Rufford. Several poachers came down the road, and passed us ; I think there were about 30 of them I was not more than six yards from the road. There was a heap of stones opposite to me. I heard th em drop these stones one by one int o their pockets. As soon as they were about thirty yards past us, I told our men to take off their cloaks, and get ready. I am son of his Lordship's head keeper. We followed on the grass into the road, as quietly as we could. After we had advanced about 180 yards, walking slow and still, we found a net set on the road. When we got to the net, we went considerably quicker, and upon reaching Cartlidge's gate we saw three men close to it. They began to throw stones at us. They then rushed away to get over the stile. One of them suc ceeded ; the other two did not. The deceased, who was a fine, strong young man, and Samuel Herod, knocked them down with their flails. The third, who got away, whistle d. About th irty yards down the first field I overtook another man, and knocked him down with my flail. I passed on, and saw a num ber of poachers coming up the other field. I think there were thirty-four of them all together. They threw stones at us which weighed from half a pound to three pounds a piece ; and we threw stones at them, for we had taken a lot in our pockets from the road. Our stones were from a pound to a pound and a half each. I was knocked down, and remained for some time insensible. I had the command of our men. We determined to go on fighting whilst any man was standing on either aide. We were beaten by poachers two years ago, and were determined not to be beaten again. I did not shoot off my pistol, but it went off in my pocket by being struck with a stone from a poacher. James Brock said—Whilct we were knocking the poachers down with our flails as fast as we could ono of the poachers threw a lose atone and hit Roberts I ___ --------------."."-*--- „,,e over the head and knocked him. down. csSralTi, Herod went to , him, when he said, " Oil, '' I,, i ns done." My brother Frederick took bhp to bis 0 0 about 150 yards off; he died on the 17th ins il° ,,i tb. was, I think, about 28 years of age. 5c 1 , 1 " 3 , e ) ,; - et poachers had flails, some had sticks, spa I— ,,b r iir stones.
