Our Bombay correspondeut writes : BOMBAY, OCT. 3. The principal item of news fur the past fortnight is the reported determination of the Governor- General to seize on a portion of the territory of the Ameer Dost Mehomed, of Caubul—it being well situated for establishing a post to watch and overawe the Afreedees, Wtezeerees, around: Peshawur. The rumour emanates from the _Delhi Gazette, v. ho does not write as one without authority on the matter. He says — "News of the gravest import has reached us from the north-west. In itself, perhaps, it is not much, but in the consequences that may ensue, even a dimly prophetic eye may discern further conquests, it may be, further Ousters. If our readers will glance at the nmp belonging to Major Edwards' Year on the Puejau'o Frontier,' they Rill see the valley of Dour conspicuously marked beyond the mountain range that forms the western boundary of the district of the Wuzcerees. This valley lies within the tertitories of Dost Mahomed. This valley has been annexed. Wet know not if the Ameer has consented to this arrangement. We know not if he has been even consulted on the subject. Its annexation has been pronounced expedient, and it is annexed accordingly. As soon as the troops can be moved—for sickness stands in no awe of discipline— possession will be formally taken of the district, and a strong outpost probably established at the head of the Koorum river, so as to command the supply of water to the Bunnoo valley..; Setting aside the moral —or rather the immoral—view of the question, there can be no doubt as to the desirable nature of the ac quisition. It lies exactly in the rear of the Wuzeerees, the Afreedees, and the other hill tribes, who can only be brought under a wholesome degree of restraint by main force. They are too insolent, too ignorant, too confident in the natural advantages of their position, to learn from the experience of their neighbours. Thus again ere we irresistibly driven on in our career of conquest ; to pause is to retrograde ; to prevent aggression we must ourselves become the assailants; and preaching peace, Christianity, and mutual for bearance, we are compelled to exterminate all who oppose our progress or molest our present position. " It is easy enough to appropriate any portion of any territory on which we choose to set our desires, and say we are compelled to follow our destiny—the diffi culty lies in maintaining it afterwards. This same valley of Dour will not be long in our occupation in peace. Already has Dost Mehomed collected a large force at Caubul for service below the Khyber, and paid the Khy berries to allow him free passage through the defiles. Next year will' probably again see the flames of war lighted on our frontier, to extinguish which probably thousands of lives and millions of money will require to be sacrificed. One of the hitherto greatest opposers of annexation in any shape or under any plea, the Bombay Times, now, • tells us that Dost Mahemed deserves no mercy at our hands; thereby meaning, of course, that the appropriation of his territory is all quite just and correct. " The sickness formerly mentioned as prevalent throughout the Punj sub continues as virulent as ever, and numbers of deaths were occurring at every sta tion, more particularly the capital. At Wuzeerabad the strength of the European troops (3d Dragoons, 10th and 24th Foot) was 2,075, of whom 250 were sick. At Sealcote, out of 372 there were 43 in hospital. At Lahore the strength was 7,500, of whom 1,600 were on the doctor's books. At Moultan and Peshawur matters were gloomy and disheartening, but an appearance of some abatement was perceptible. At Leia all the European officers (Captain Ross, Captain Hollings, Lieutenant M'Neile, and Mr. Henderson, C.S.) were suffering—especially the first and last. Coming down the Indus, we learn that Sukkur and Shikarpore were still extremely un healthy. At Hyderabad, her Majesty's 64th were losing numbers of men, women, and children. As sistant-Surgeon Shortt had also fallen a victim to the prevailing fever—and it was feared the fate of the Highlanders would overtake the wing if not speedily removed from the station. Although Kurrachee is not exactly as healthy as is its wont, still it has little to complain of. Mr. Frere, the Commissioner, seems to be generally well liked; he is mentioned as fre quently entertaining the society of the place at Government House, and thus doing his best to keep them in good humour with themselves and those around them, and therein he shows •a good deal of sense. The people of Kurrachee are actually begin ning to talk of a railroad to Gharra, and this while such a thing as a good cart road from one station to another is never thought of. " The Nizam's affairs are again being canvassed by the journals; he is said to have contributed 60;0001. as a loan to his minister of the 400,0001. paid to our resident, and to be now dunning the unfortunate offi cial for its repayment, as if the debt were not his own. The country is overrun with mercenary troops kept up by him for the purpose of awing the unfortunate cultivators and others into paying,any demands, how ever exorbitant, made upon them. "Colonel, or Gen. Steinbach, returns home by this evening's steamer, having resigned the service of the Cashmere ruler fur good and all. He has, it is be lieved, accumulated what will keep his nose from freezing during the remainder of his days, even were he to settle at the North Pole. The only intelligence recently received from Cashmere is to the effect that the Maharaja was still very unwell, and that the fort of Cbelas still held out against his troops as stoutly as ever—that succour for the besieged was on the way from Gilghit, and that it was expected the besiegers would have to retire from before the fort. "N. Memel, of the Lahore Board of Administration, is to be Resident at Nsgpore, to which Major Du rand has been temporarily appointed. Sir R. Shake speare had gone a considerable way on route to Joudpore to take up his new and inferior appointment, when he was overtaken by an express from the Governor-General directing him to return to Gwalior. I presume from this that the Gallant Knight's spon taneous and noble conduct in publicly acknowledging his error and apologising to Captain Close has induced Lord Dalhousie to cancel the punishment inflicted on him fte- his conduct towards that officer. Something serious is said to have occurred in the Gwalior Lush kur, in which the Maharaja is reported to be impli cated. Treachery and intrigue of course against us must have been discovered; but that is nothing un usual. The artillery portion of the King of Oude'e army has mutinied—arrears of wages being the cause. The sooner this puppet of a king, with his brother puppet of Hyderabad, are pensioned, the better for their subjects, and probably for our selves also.—The manner in which the trial of Jotee Pereaud was conducted has, it is believed, brought forth a heavy rebuke from the Court of Directors, and one member of the military board in particular, said to be Colonel Mactier, has come in for a large share of the displeasure. Sir R. Barlow, of the Calcutta Adawhut, has been deputed as a special commissioner to Agra, to inquire into and pre pare a report on the subject, for transmission home to the Court.—The ship Lascar, Captain Errington, from Hull to Calcutta , with coals, &c., was wrecked near Sanger, on the 17th ult. ; all hands saved but two seamen.—The American ship Saxon Maid, bound for Adeu with coals, was wrecked in the Mozambique on the August.—Lord Falkland antdirli, it John Grey have gone to Mababulesh wany_he will, is said, be in Bombay by the Bth prox.—Captain C.

BOIIIBAY, OCT. 2,=The (s;;;;;Crii:iijithe 25th Angina came to hand on the afternoon of the 21st ult. The arrivals from the west have bean the John O'Gunt and the Windermere from Liverpool. Tho depressed state of our import market which has prevailed since the opening of the season has been ma terially added to during the last fortnight, while on the other hand the high price at which our chief export is held completely puts a stop to business in it for the home markets, so that our trade with Great Britain is at present in a most unsatisfactory state. Money con tinues to be abundant and cheap, but there is very little empkyrufut for it. Oa the 15th instant, the "Dewallce Festival" corn menees, and theze will he little business done from this time until its tvra:iriation, which occurs on the 26th instant. Cotton Piece Goods—ln these a considerable amount ot business has been done, taking the stave of the mar kets into consideration. The descriptions principally asked for have been grey goods, coarse cud heavy do niesticr,; T cloth of 61b. weight and upwards, and 46 in. 33 yards long cloth, and ot other kinds any sales that have hero mado have been forced, so that prices have suffered a further decline. The price of shirtings, mad dapolams, jactn.qieta and light T chth are again more in favour of hayers. In bleached goods every thing is dull and neglected, with the exception of jacconet from a medium (parlicy upwards, and satin spots which aro in slight rev!. sr. Turkey and dyed golds are in much the same state aswhen our last report was_ written. Turkey red plain cloth has fallen, however, 25 in. 28 yds. bast Blanchester dye having been parted with at the very low rate of R. 7 per piece. Cotton Yarn—The supply has been somewhat large, Lad as a continued anxiety to sell has been displayed ca the part of importers, prim; both of mule and water are bcl,,Cv our l:st quotations. Woollens—No inquiry as yet exists. Not a single transaction has come to our knowledge, and we believe that none has taken place. Metals—With a single exception, all descriptions linva been quite neglected during the past fortnight, and prices show au inclination to fall. The exception is Swedish steel, which enjoys an inquiry sufficient to support its value. Cochineal—A slight inquiry exists for best quality, but it has not led to a rise in price ; not any sales that we have heard of. Saffrou—A supply of this has arrived, and tho price has given way ; 4001bs. of good quality having sold at Its. 19 per 16. BPer—Allsopp is selling at Rs. 60. Bass is still held for Es. 65 to 70, at which rate we have heard of 30 hhds. having been purchased. Of other brands 50 hhds. Torment's, with 25 hhds. porter by same maker, 50 Younger, and 30 hhds.

Marine Stores—Canvas, cordage, and paint, are sometimes asked for, as linseed oil is also, but spirits of turpentine and sewing twine are dull. Sundries—Empty bottles are scarce and in demand. Cotten Wcel--The news from China by the last oppor :unity were, contrary to what wcs generally looked for, favourable tor this staple, and have given a decided im petus to buyers for that market, large purchases having been made since the last accounts reached us. Prices are well supported arid rather incline to go in favour of sellers; under such circumstances purchases for the " Home Markets" are of course nearly k uspencloti, some small quantities are in course cf shipment on native ae- count. Sheep's Wool—Fresh supplies aro now arriving from Sinde and elsewhere, and the native shippers for the English market are paving high prices. Opium—At present * holders are firm. Small purchases arc being made at our quotations for the next steamer hence. New drug will be making its appearance among us about the middle of the next mouth. Tonnage—Freight to Great Britain is scarce, but as the tonnage which offers is not great, rates to London are supported at 21. 10s. per ton for gums, &c., and 21 ss. to Liverpool for cotton. At these rates several en gagenients have been made. To China, OEI the other hand, a good deal is offering, and the rate has advanced to Rs. 16 to Rs. 16i per Candy, at which it is firmly maintained. A small opium clipper has just been taken up for cotton at Its. 174 per Candy. EICHANGE.-110 rise which had commenced at the date of our last report on the rate on London continued until the eve of the arrival of the China mail. Bills from Calcutta being brought into the market daily, at which time it had reached 2s. Old. for six months' sight bills on the spot, and transactions "to arrive" were done at 2s. Oil. at 25-00. per rs., but owing to a much smaller amount of remittances having been received than was generally expected, owing it appears to a want of late advice's from Shanghai, the rate took an immediate turn downwards, and soon reached ls. Hd., at which it re mained for a day or two, when it began to rise again, and has since gradually advanced to 2s. Oil to 2s. Old. per rupee at six months' sight, and at which it has been pretty steady for some days past. On Calcutta tho rate is IOOk per 100, and on China 221 at 222 per 100 dolls., 60 days' sight.

The Royal dinner party last evening included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Lady in Waiting to her Royal Highness, the Baroness de Speth, the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, Colonel the Hon. Charles and Mrs. Grey, Colonel Sir W. Reid, R.E., and the Rev. Mr. Canning. The band of the Grenadier Guards was in attend• once at the Castle, and performed during dinner. Her Majesty's private band attended afterwards in the evening, and played the following selection : Overture " Les Chaperons Blanes" Finale, 2d Act, " Fidelio" Chceur et Prii3re " Guillaume Tell" The Queen walked in the Home Park this morning. The Prince of 'Wales, the Princess Royal, and the younger members of the Royal Family, took their usual exercise. The Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, and Colonel Sir W. Reid, have left the Castle for town. Lord and Lady Bloomfield are expected to arrive at the Castle this evening. Sir Thomas Fremantle, Chairman of the Customs had en interview with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, yesterday, at his official residence in Down irg-otreet. Mr. John Wood, Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, had also an interview with the Right lion. Baronet. Viscount Palmerston left town on Wednesday evening for Panshanger, Hats, the seat of Earl Cowper. --- THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The Royal Commissioners have, we understand, voted a sum of 2,7001. for the police force employed in the Crystal Palace. Mr. Pearce, the superintend ent, receives 3001, the inspectors 1501. each, and the sergeants and men a handsome gratuity, according to their proportions of pay, while 500/. goes to the police fund. This fund must now be considerable in amount, and the public would like to have some information about it. Shortly after the Chartist demonstrations of April, 1848, a sum of nearly 1,7001. was raised by subscription to reward the services of the force during that trying period. A portion of this was distributed among the men at the time, and the rest has, we suppose, been invested in the funds, in ac cordance with the provisions of the Metropolitan Po lice Act. How the matter stands we are unable at present to say, but the Secretary of State for the Home Department, having his attention directed to the subject by the liberality of the Royal Commission, and being charged with the responsibility, may per haps be induced to inquire. The officers of Engineers at the Crystal Palace, following the example of their chief, Sir William Reid, have declined the pecuniary remuneration offered to them by the Royal Commission. Their services remain, therefore, inadequately rewarded; and while military etiquette prevents them from re swgveoaerhinnievo ate i agt n bo g ialefsa. the rewards to which they are justly entitled the system o f promo ti on by seniority, without refer ence to merit, d e b ars them from any professional ad t hardship eu l l hfinnil Brevetl plo o e nsdotenizdmeainjustice—thatpinstancerloorauntsaklnyti,sde ca s a p ndine c fs i euar. connectedl o l teyfhd Captainnif this oru c involveswfiringi Owen,thtthhaee Executive.ability, royal salute on the accession of a new Sovereign, and fur remarkableeonm an o d o in oa g s i t o h royal nel It is guard also g o r a f n h t o e d n o uron n for distin guisheday ser v i ces in * the field, and we hope that the opportunity which the Exhibition affords for a new precedent in f avour o f distinguished merit may not be overlooked.

The Chamb er l a i n h;uded in a return in confor mity with the followin order of the Court :—" That a return be m a d e t o this Court of an account of all the moneys which have been raised for public works exe cuted, buildings erected, or street improvements effected, out of the coal duties receivable by the Cor poration of London in the character of trustees for administration or otherwise, since the same were made chargeable by Parliament for such purposes in the year 1766, distinguishing such works, &c., as are situated in ,the city of London, such as are altogether without the City, and such as partake of a mixed cha racter, being for the benefit of the City as well as of the adjoining districts ; stating also the public bodies or the persons entrusted by Parliament with the ex ecution of such works and improvements, and for what period the dues are mortgaged for such purposes." Mr. DAKIN said—The return which has just been presented in accordance with the order of the Court, I intend to move be pri n t e d and a copy sent to every member, if the Court will allow me now to bring on a motion which stands upon the paper of business— namely, " That it be referred to the improvement committee to direct the City's architect to prepare a plan of London on such scale as shall be most conve• nicht, showing the respective public works, buildings, or improvements effected out of the coal duties, as stated in a return to this Honourable Court, ordered 23d October, 1851, and that the same be lithographed, and a copy accompanied by such return be sent to every member of this Court," and agree therewith. The two documents which I think so very useful for the information of the Court are calculated to remove much misapprehension which exists in the public mind as to the expenditure of the coal duties which have been received by the Corporation of London in the character of trustees. It has been stated in the House of Commons that if no other reason could be given for interfering with the functions of this Court, a sufficient one would be found in the mode in which the large revenue derived from the coal duties bad been employed, and more recently we have been charged with the misuse of the large sum of 172,0001. per annum, without any adequate public improvements to show for it ; and an inference has been drawn that jobbery and corruption exist amongst us. I have been a member of this Court for some years, and I know how carefully the rules and orders are drawn which completely pre vent any member from deriving any the slighest ad vantage from his position, supposing he had the de sire. —(Hear, hear.) I know, too, that highly paid as are some of our officers, considering the important and onerous duties they have to perform, their emo lument does not exceed that which first-class men in their various professions earn.—(Hear, hear.) In deed, in the case of the officer who is mainly con cerned in the duties to which this return refers, I be lieve that, taking into account the great talent he brings to bear upon the business committed to him, and the large amount of that business, he is very im perfectly remunerated, and I trust some steps will be taken to make his recompense more commensurate with his labour.—(Hear, hear.) If no waste of large funds accrues from these causes, I was led to inquire into the precise state of facts, and I think the return which will be put into your hands will show that a principal portion of these large sums has been dis bursed--not for the City only and by the Corpora tion, but by the Woods and Forests and other public bodies, for metropolitan _ improvements.—(Cheers.) The entire amount of disbursements from these con duties is 3,738,066/., which may be divided as _fol• Lows : - mprovenients within the City .... £1,117,345 without the City of a mixed character £3,738,066 Showing the sum apportioned for improvements without the City, and those of a mixed character, to be no less a sum than 2,620,721/.

What says the report of the Committee of the House of Commons which, in 1112, sat in revision of the expenditure of the Corporation ?—(Bear, hear.) It says this— " They (the Committee) were nevertheless satisfied, from the documents laid before them, that every -ju dicious attention and every principle of economy had been applied by the Corporation of London that was consistent with the attainment of great public objects with the execution of which they were entrusted. They also think it incumbent upon them to declare, that having had occasion to inspect the various and complicated accounts which the management of so extensive a concern indispensably requires, and which were produced with a laudable readiness, it appears, after full investigation, that ail the details both of the receipt and the expenditure are kept with an accuracy and checked with a vigilance which reflects honour upon all who have any part in the; superintendence of this fund." What was the result of the inquiry by Committees of both Houses of Parliament in 1829, when the expenditure of these duties was examined into, the Duke of Wellington presiding in the House of Lords' Committee ? Notwithstanding the most stenuous opposition of the late Lord Durham and the coalowners, a further charge of 1,000,0001. was made upon the coal duties, and the Corporation of London entrusted with its expenditure.—(Hear.) Besides this, the City has expended out of its own revenues, as your pocket-books will show, since 1780, for public im provements, 1,064,590/. 2s. 7d., deducting about 100,0001., which is included in the coal duties return, besides a sum for charitable purposes since that time of 118,0541. 14s. 11d., and a sum for public purposes of 54,256/. 2s. sd.—(Hear.) 1 know the excitement which is felt in the court in anticipation of the more spirit-stirring business of this day, and, with the ex pectation that these returns will prevent the unjust aspersions which are sometimes cast upon us, I beg to move that they be printed, and a copy sent to every member of the Court.—(Cheers.)

The coroner said he had exerted all his power for years to reform the practice; the public ought to interfere, and the jury might memorialise the Secretary of State upon the subject. The jury unanimously. concurred in the coro ner's remarks, upon which the inquiry was postponed until Thursday next. OMNIBUS MoltoPOLY.Th® determination on the part of the proprietors of the numerous omnibuses p a s • ig Wee ' over the Blackfriars, Waterloo, and tminster bridges to and from the Surrey side of the water, to uphold the " Ex hibition" fares of 4d. for journeys, no matter how short, and running all cheap opposition off these roads, has given way, for yesterday the figure 3 was visible on all these vehicles, and 3d. instead of 4d. was the fare. The fact is, the pro prietors have got alarmed, as well they may be, at the de termination on the part of the public to patronise and have cheap fares ; and, therefore, the act of reducing the fares was one of policy and not of favour; and it would be a matter of greater policy on their parts to lower the fares to still more, say 2d. They may rest assured that the numerous associa tions at present forming for conveying time public from place to place at moderate fares will feel satisfied with a twopenny fare, or more likely a penny fare, where the present proprie tors were charging 4d. and now cha r g e 3d.

(From the Scotsman.) On Wednesday evening the Adelphi Theatre was crowded to excess on the occasion of Mr. Murray's farewell benefit. The Rivals was the play, the ma nager appearing in his favourite part of Sir Anthony Absolute. It is needless to say that the whole per formance went off in excellent style, assisted by the kindly volunteered cervices of Mr. Murray's friends and fellow-artists—Mr. Mackay, Mr. Glover, Mr. Lloyd, and Mr. Powrie; and the audience manifested the utmost enthusiasm throughout. During the evening Mr. Murray delivered the fol lowing farewell address : " Ladies and G./riflemen—lt was within these walls that, on the 10th of November, 1809, I had the honour of making my first appearance before you, and it is within the same walls that I again appear before you, endeavouring to express to you the deep and grateful sense I entertain of all the kindness, the comdderation, the forbearance you have evinced towards me during my long end motley course of two•and-forty years, and to perform the melancholy duty of saying farewell to those I have so much reason to love and to respect. As many may remember, my earliest efforts here were anything but successful, and I have great reason to rejoice that they were not. My father was en actor of dis tinguished talent in London, and so great a favourite wiLla the public and his professional brethren, that on my entrance into the Th ea t re R o y a l, Covent garden, under the auspices of Mr. Kemble, I was so petted and favoured, on my father's account, that I came before you with all the levity and conceit na tural to a boy of nineteen.—(Hear, hear.) But your frowns, and the darkness of my reception here, taught me to know myself, and to discover that I was not the admirable Crichton' I had vainly imagined. —(Laughter and cheers.) With determined industry, and doggedly, as Dr. Johnson says, I set myself to remedy my defects. You, for a time, persisted in your disapprobation—l was resolute in my efforts to improve ; you missed—l laboured, until I fairly won your smiles, and you began kindly to regard the stripling who strove so unremittingly to please you. To be brief, I rose in your favour.—(Loud cheers.) Painful circumstances made me the manager of your theatres ; and while, like others in my situation, I could wish undone many things which have been done, and have left unattempted many others I could have wished performed, vet, considering the names of the great artists I yearly brought before you, the talents of the resident company, the merit s o f the pieces annually produced, and the manner in which they were brought forward, I do not think the court before which I have the honour of pleading will re fuse me their verdict of approbation.—(Enthusiastio applause.) To my successors in the management of the two theatres I wish, sincerely wish, every pros perity they can wish themselves. They will profit by my blunders ; they are both in the prime of life, both of distinguished talent in their profession, both highly popular ; and I earnestly desire for them Calm seas, auspicious gales, And sail so expeditious that shall catch Their mimic fleets far off'— wafting them into the havens of a golden fortune.— (Loud cheers.) To my professional brethren I feel deeply indebted for their kind and gratifying aid on this occasion. To Mr. Glover I owe many acts of liberal kindness, and I feel great pleasure in acknow ledging ray obligations towards him.—(Cheers.) By Mr. Lloyd's kind assistance—(Cheers)—l am pecu liarly obliged, as it proves the cordial feelings of regard which exist between us. I have further to tank him for his great courtesy in postponing the opening of the Theatre Royal until after the engage ment of the Miss Batemans here. To your distin guished favourite, Mr. Powrie, I owe many, many thanks.—(Cheers.) But what shall I say to my old tried and valued friend, Mr. Mackay—(Loud cheers) —who, as he once by his talents saved the Theatre Royal, has this season, by the attraction of his un fading abilities, greatly diminished the losses the Crystal Palace had entailed upon me— ' We have clam!) the hill thegither And now are toddlin down'— but I earnestly hope that while we remain on the pages of the world's volume,' the Bailie and the Major may cling together in the firmest bonds of friendship, for the sake of Auld Langsyne.' " To the performers, orchestra, and servants of this establishment, I return my best hanks for their con stant kindness to me, and cannot refrain from ex pressing the great pride and gratification I feel at the splendid testimony of their affection and regard with which they honoured me this morning—(Applause) —and also offer my grateful acknowledgments to the trustees and shareholders of this Theatre for their un varying liberality and attention; and I trust they will not think that the reputation of the Adelphi has suf fered in my hands.—(Cheers.) " And now, my kind and liberal patrons, 'tis time for me to furl my professional sails, and say farewell to those to whom " All my service In every point twice done, and then done double, Were poor and singlo business to contend Against the honours deep and broad." you've showered on me. Some of my friends have led me to pope that rest and retirement may so re store me to my former self, that I may occasionally revisit the glimpses of our theatrical moon.' Should that hope be denied me, and this indeed be the last appearance I shall ever have the honour of making before you, be assured that though the years of your old servant be allowed to 'stretch into extremest age,' the last, the most cherished worldly recollection that trembles on his fading memory, will be the evenings he has spent in your service, and, above all, that in which he now again thanks the brilliant assemblage before him for many, many years of kindness, and with deep, respectful, and fervent gratitude, bids you —Farewell." Upon the conclusion of the address, the entire audience rose and enthusiastically cheered Mr. Mur ray as he retired. During the delivery of the ad dress the pa sentatien jugs (referred to by the ma nager) were exhibited on a table in the centre of the stage. PRESENTATION TO MR. MURRAY. On Wednesday afternoon, the members of the com pany, the orchestra, end others, employed in the theatre, requested the presence of the manager, to present him with a slight token of their esteem upon the occasion of his retirement. Mr. Mackay, the ve teran Scottish dramatist, presided, and addressed Mr. Murray in nearly the following terms : " Sir—We have requested your presence among us for a few moments, though, alas! we shall not have many more opportunities of enjoying such a pleasure. I have been selected by the company as the medium through which they wish to express their feelings towards you on the occasion of your resignation of the management of the Edinburgh theatres—an occasion of very great regret to us all. My position as the oldest member of the company has imposed on me a task which I find myself very incompetent to per form. I could wish—had I the ability—to dwell and expatiate on your excellent qualities, both as a mana ger and as an actor ; yet, were I able to do so, I should be only repeating a twice-told tale. The former have been long and justly appreciated by the public ; and the latter have been universally acknowledged by the profession. 'We have now met, Sir, for the last time with you as our manager, and we as your com pany. Some of us have enjoyed many happy days under your management; and all have met with uni form kindness and gentlemanly treatment. In thus part ing ,1 with you, we felt it to be an imperative duty to mark the occasion by some tangible token of regard. We, therefore, beg of you to accept this testimonial to your many excellent qualities as a manager, and as a tribute to your talents as an actor. When you look at this mark of our esteem, it will remind you of the high estimation in which you were held by the company over which you have so long presided with honour to yourself and comfort to us. May Heaven bless and long preserve you sir; and that, in your retirement, you may enjoy health, happiness, and every earthly comfort, is the sincere and earnest prayer of all present." Mr. Mackay then presented Mr. Murray with the testimonial —consisting of a very handsome silver claret jug, with water jug, also of silver, to corres pond. The claret jug was surmounted by a charac teristic figure in silver of Sir John Falstaff (a favou rite part of the manager)—the whole being from the establishment of Mr. Cohnert, jeweller, Leith-street. The claret jug bore the following inscription : " Presented to William henry Wood Murray, EN., by the members of his company, orchestra, and ser vants of the Theatre, as a slight token of their affec tionate remembrance, on the occasion of his retire ment from the management of the Edinburgh Theatre. —22 d October 1831." Mr. Murray was visibly affected by the unexpected gift. Ile briefly expressed his gratitude for this token of the kind feelings entertained towards him by the members of his company and others in his employ ment. It was to him a matter of the highest gratifi cation that he should stand so high in the esteem of those with whom he had been in such constant com munication ; and nothing was so likely to cheer his retirement as the refle c ti on t h at he would carry with Mr. Murray him their best wishes for his welfare. concluded by acknowledging his frequent obligations to Mr. Mackay. BUTCHERS' CHARITABLE INSTITUTION. —Yester day afternoon the usual general meeting of the governors and subscribers to the above charity, which was founded in 1828, for affording relief to decLyecl and distressed master butchers, was held at the Freomasons"ravern. for the pur pose of electing 8 male and 4 female pensioners on to the funds of the institution ; Mr. J. Sharp in the chair. There were 42 candidates for election, out of whom twelve were elected, and the proceedings terminated. The funded pro perty of the institution now amounts to 12,0001. A person can now breakfast in London and sup in Dublin the same day, and vice versa. The whole distance is 266 miles by land, and 64 by sea. 31, 1851. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DEATH OF S IR JAMES WHALLEY SMYTH E GAR DINER, BABT.—We 'have to record the demise of this baronet, who died on the 22d inst., aged 66. The deceased gentleman was born in 1785, being son of the second baronet by the second daughter of the Rev. Dr. Assheton. In 1507, \ he married the second daughter of the late Oswald Mosley, Esq., and sister to Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart. The deceased succeeded to the title in 1805. In 1810, he filled the dike of high Sheriff in his native county, Hants. This title was created in 1783, and its first holder was John Whalley, wh o, on succeeding to the estates of Sir W. Gardiner, Bart., a title y a rneet now extinct, assumed the last-mentioned name. Sir James is succeeded in the title and estates, which latter are situate in Hampshire, by his son, John Bootraisn,ahno:eniinchlBl.l. fief ofe.thde daugugir's of the t th he e THE CAMBERWELL TRAGEDY._ sing thaet fundthe flnlrectthoeryreol subscribers unfortunate Mr. Fawcett ; the Rev. ; rector, presiding.

Fairy, royal yacht tender, Master Commaioder Welch, was docked at Portsmouth on Tuesday' last, to make good defects, and to be refitted for thr. re ception of her majesty and the Court next me nth. On examination it was found that her iron boOtom particularly .cle3n and sound on one side„ and on the other the composition appeared very much rubbed and worn ; but considerinr , the service, the Fairy has performed, and that she has not had any new coat of composition for six months, we cannot find fault with her condition. Mr. Hay. will merely patch up the old six months' coat on one side, and Mr. Peacock having obtained permis sion to apply his composition to the yacht, will pay over the other side in order to test their respective ad vantages. It is due, however, to Mr. Hay to, state that his composition on the Fairy has been applied for nearly five years, and during that time she has not required a single rivet to be removed. Nautilus brig, apprentices' tender, Lieutenant- Commander Dolling, sailed from Devonport tc r a cruise in the Channel, for the exercise of her naval ap prentices this morning.

The b oard gallant party were received' at the gan gway on go i ng on board by Captain Virgin and her o ffi cers, and a guar d of honour of Marines. After inspecting the ship, which appears a very fine model, about 1,400 t ons, CaptainVirgio gave a dejeiiner in his state cabi n , an d d rank the toast of ." the British Army," in proposing which he very warmly eulogized that arm of the service. Captain Lys, of the 48th, acknowledged the compliment. On leaving the frigate M. Vandenbergh was sa l ute d with four guns in honour of his ooffice.F rom the Eug en i e t h e visitors were conveyed i n the fr i gate's barge on board the corvette Lagerbejelke, where Captain Engleliart exercised similar courtesies and hospitality as had been shown on board the frigate, and also s a l u t e d t h e Consul on leaving. This evening Madame Vanden bergh gave a ball to the young officers of the Swedish frigate and corvette at the Cons ular-house, on the Grand Parade. The expedition will sail on Sunday.

Chaffinch Grand Duchess lEolus Humphrey Bordeaux Lady Agnes Merry Bird My Dear colt THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER. Nut the least important Act of the late session, and one which has hitherto escaped notice, was the Act " to . define and amend the m i nera l customs of certain parts of the hundred of High Peak, in the county of Derby, part of the possessions cf her Majesty's Duchy of Lancaster, to make provision for the better administration of justice in the Barmote Courts therein, and to im prove the practice and proceedings of the said courts." There are fifty-seven sections in the Aot, and several schedules. The Great Barmote and the Small Barmote Courts have existed for centuries, and it was deemed advisable that the mineral laws and customs should be revised, altered, and amended. The present Act was passed for that purpose, and the jurisdiction of the Bar mote Courts defined. The Act is called " The High Peak Mining Customs and Mineral Courts Act." lier Majesty may appoint a steward of the Barmote Courts, who may appoint a deputy. Courts are to be held, and a grand jury is to be sworn. Officers called " harmasters" are to be appointed. In the Great Bar mote Court the mining customs aro to be decided, and in the small Barmote Courts actions of debt, title, or tres pass may he tried. The parties and their wives may be examined in the courts under this Act. Henceforth a grand jury is only to consist of twelve persons. Persons are not precluded from proceeding in any other court having jurisdiction therein in respect of any matter made by this Act triable in the Small 13armote Court. Hales and regulations may be made by the steward and grand jury for carrying out the provisions of the Act. The schedules define the mineral customs, and contain tables of fees to ho paid by parties in the Barmote Courts—. tribunals of very ancient date. PUBLIC STATUES. (From the Morning Advertiser.) A spirited, life-like equestrian statue of 'William the Conqueror was erected, some ten (lays past, in the Champs Elys.ees, from which it was removed last week to its final destination at Falaise, the birthplace of the Norman bastard, who worsted our good old v% o on itehhe emxicsizadbsl to Saxon King Harold. This statue was a noble, sedusofsoarneirroenflepctuioknes, vigorous composition, bursting with life and aim b t i rO n n' bronze d caricaturecau much amusement to the foreiners on their way to the Exhibition, and the wretched b • ewigged statue of George the Fourth, which is a fitting pendant to the meagrewre waters abtched dumboutTr-w 't ni ers, which squirt th e ir -s. W can we not ha ve statues such as afalgar those quare of William the Conqueror, which is going to adorn an abscure town in Normandy ; or such an Amazon as Kiss has planted at Berlin ; or the Godefroi de Bouillon at Brussels ; or such a monument as the triumphal arch at the Barriere de l'Etoile ; or suc h foundations as excited the admiration and wonder of the world in the Place Louis Quinze ? Why should we tacitly allow foreigners to forestal us in these matters ? Our Duke was surely as great a manes Napoleon, and is deserving of a statue and triumphal arch of ../Estriplfx—for, as the peace of the world was pro duced by his mighty genius, he might have looked around him at the varied produce in the Great Ex. hibition, and have said with Sir Christopher W ren, "Si monumentum requiris, eircumspice."
