tTh following appeared in our Third Edition of last night:—] FRANCE. .4' The Constitutionnel says—" The Governtment has - -received news from La Plata, up to the Bth August, by the brig the Alcibiade, which has arrived at -Brest. We are assured that the Government of Bu,-.3nos Ayres has adhered to the more important of the modifications which it was desired to introduce in the treaty of Admiral Le Predour, and that this long dispute at last approaches to a satisfactory con clusion.' The Archbishop of Turin arrived at Grenoble on the 2d, on his way to Lyons. The intention of the Archbishop appears to be to fix his residence, pro tempore, in this last named city. GERMANY. The Independance of Brussels of the 7th furnishes us with the following details of the recent occurrences in H , ,!sse Cassel : " the news from Hesse presents more and more inte rest. The most unxexpected changes take place, and it is impossible to admire tco much the calm of the people, who, confining themselves strictly within the bounds of legulity, oppose to arbitrary rule a resistance in which all classes unite. Ths army has in its turn pronounced against M. Hessenpflug. The news sent on the 4th to the Gazette de Cologne were not such as to cause this result to he antic:pa•ed. On that day a grand review took place, during which General Haynau had declared the National Guard to be dissolved. He had caused the editor of the New Hesse Gazette to be arrested; had ordered councils of war to immediately com- mence proceedings; caused the members of the per manent Committee to be shut up in the place of tha s'ats, where they had assembled, and had one of them thrown into prison. Our letters from Frankfort, of the sth, further state that the National Guard, when declared dissolved, refused to deliver up their arms. Geneial Llaynau ordered the troops to proceed to dis arming them; but the officers declared to him in their turn that they would not execute his orders. The coun cils of war met, but not a single auditor could be found to commence the proceedings; on the contrary, the auditor-general proposed to have General Haynau im peachedfor excess of power, and this proposition was voted. Thus abandoned by his troop, General Haynau could only pledge himself not to exercise his command 'or undertake anything until• the return of an officer sent by his comrades to the seat of Government, at Wil belaiihad, to represent to the Elector the unconstitutional chflract , r of the measures ordered by the General." The German Journal of Frankfort of the 6th says At Casse!, on the 4th, there was a grand review in Frederick-square, but no one went to it. General Haynau, addressing the officers, said—' Gentlemen, let those among you who would rather protect the criminal scum of the constitutional party than the rights of the Elector, leave the ranks, lay aside his uni form, and put on a blouse.' The officers were so indig nant that it was respect for discipline alone which prevented them from protesting. When the General passed along the ranks, the troops only faintly cried • "the three hurrahs required by the regulations ; the artillery kept silence. ^ The measures for crushing the press are taken, but no one has been found to execute • them. The new commander of the town, General ts . EretlEtntli:wilo ia_believed .to be animated with con stitutional sentiments, has ; it is iertised,: Writettabliaiter of vntiatite — has ofclered - the' tax de-, pttittfrVii 4to c e - *ithin '4B hbtiri' to . ,3 r ;4:the taxes, under a pain 'ara 4 fifie''dr4Vril'hltrs tor the director, and 30 rixdollars for each member. It t i . cpe of refusal the fines are to be increased. But the authorities do not care for such measures as these, as • there is no one to get in the fines." ' A letter from Munich, of the 3d, states that aH number of young peasants of Straubing, headed by • the•son of the Mayor, had insulted the clergy in the grossest manner, - had broken open the doors of the • Sisters of th 6 Schools, and committed other excesses. The Swabian Mercury gives the following as the inawuration speech of the newly-elected President of the Wirtemberg Chamber, Schoder t-- " G ntleinen, I accept with gratitude the mark of con= • fid.-nee you have given me on cabin.- ' on me to direct the lab - .ors of this third Assembly. Be kind enough to grant me your indaleence: In the midst of difficult' circumstances, and surrounded with clouds, the repre sentatives c:m3tnence their labours, after the people have fur the third time expressed their will. However different public opinion may be as to the best form of constitution, the law of let July, 1849, gives to the Go vernment acd to the National As&emb!y the true point of sat prat, before which individual opinions must in cline. If the Government and the Assembly keep them selves to this sure guide, and if, in short, a path be adopted for the affairs of Germany of a nature to satisfy the wants of the people and its well-founded preten sions' we may expect the end which the people so sr . dentl'y desire. Yes, gentlemen, the people wish for peac,., we all wish for it, but it must be peace founded on just:c?.'" A decree of the Grand Duke was published at DArmstadt on the .sth, fixing punishments for se ditious writings and other publications. The decree states that this is done to protect society against the licentiousness of the press. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The attack on Friederichstadt commenced on the , 4th, at.half-past five in the afternoon, and the storm ing party advanced in three columns, one by the chitiiv.see that crosses the marshy level from the town to Seeth, a second along the Treene-dyke, and the third by the Eyder-dyCe. It was the battalion (the 6th) which tifok the last-named road that met the severest I;ss. Oa all three points the attack failed. The D -MOS, who, daring the previous days, had replied to the Holstein cannonade very slackly, and as if they were short of ammunition, opened against the atormiug col - umns, on the whole line of defence, such a murdetolis fire or cannon and musketry thatno ' tlang - C9‘tit(nitand againii .the column formed.of the 6th Battalion } though it .continued to advance with great bravery, was thrown into confusion arid driven back w#l.l till:Dense loss.

The 11Ol • stein artillery kept up.a cannonade on the town dur ing the whole attack and after the repulse, but' with no result sav4 that of setting the town on fire on seveiaLlioitits. At Midnight the cannonade ceased, and the troom, tack up the same positions they had helVor the last five days. ,The cjhamber of the.

Scandalous contempt is exercised against:all• taws. rights, and customs ; the sons of our country are forced into the ranks of the enemy; the most insupport ,• able oppression is carried on against a population whose s: - only crime consists in remaining firm to their ancient • -rights, and in not submitting to Danish usurpation.

Last evening, about half-past seven o'clock, a con flagration, nearly attended with fatal consequences to two persons, broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. Crawcour, a surgeon-dentist, carrying on business in Addington-place, Camberwell-road. The premises, which extended some considerable distance backwards, were five stories high, including the basement, the upper one being occupied as a manu factory. At the time of the outbreak the only per sona in the building were Mr. Crawcour and his cook, and they were in the top story. The woman, perceiving a strong smell of something burning, in formed her master of the circumstance, and they pro ceeded towards the lower portion of the house to as certain the cause. Ilaving descended a few stairs, they found the smoke rolling upwards in such clouds as to prevent their descending further. They therefore retraced their steps as quickly as possible towards the upper floor, and escaped by the roof to one of the adjoining houses. In a very brief period flames in huge bodies shot through the windows of the ground floor both back and front. The parish engines speedily arrived, and were closely followed by numerous more powerful ones, belonging to the London Brigade and West of England-office. The Lambeth Company's mains having yielded an im mediate supply of water, the engines ,were at once brought into operation, but, owing to the firm hold the fire had previously obtained, it continued to spread with great rapidity. By half-past nine o'clock the fire was subdued, but not until the whole of Mr. Crawcour'i property was destroyed, and some da ' range done to the premises on either side by fire and water. Fortunately Mr. Crawcour was insured in the Phoanix Fire-office. On Tuesday morning last, at about four o'clock, an extensive fire broke out on a farm belonging to the Duke of Wellington, in the occupation of Mr. Luke Goddard, situate in the parish of Strathfieldsaye, near Reading. Owing to the early hour at which the out break occurred, when but little assistance could be rendered, and the want of engines at hand, the fire quickly gained a fearful ascendancy, the flames spreading from one rick to the other, until at length all were in a blaze. The conflagration lighted up the country for 'many miles around during the darkness That prevajled, and *hen daylight appeared volumes - of Smoke were seen issuing forth from the burning mass. The destruction of the entire farm homestead was inevitable when the fire was at its height, as no thing could arrest the progress of the flames, and only the dwelling house, at a little distance off, seemed likely to escape from the burning wreck. The flames gradually began to get under after awidle, until even tually nothing but a mouldering heap of ruins pre sented itself. The whole of the farm produce, con sisting of several new ricks, and other corn in store, both thrashed and unthrashed, homestead, buildings, and erections, implements of husbandry, and other property, were entirely consumed. The fire, there is every reason to believe, was the act of an incendiary, and it is rumoured that suspicion rests on the carter and boy about leaving the service, who are to undergo 'an examination. The loss is very considerable ; but the entire farm property destroyed is, we believe, in sured, partly in the NorwichlUnion Fire-office. INCENDIARY FIRE.—The quiet village of Frodes ley, in the county of Salop, has been thrown into the utmost alarm by its having been the scene of one of the most extensive and destructive incendiary ,fires that ever occurred in this county. On Monday morning, the 7th instant, at a quarter before two o'clock, a barley and wheat stack belonging to Mr. ' Meredith were discovered by James Rothero, a black smith, residing in an adjoining cottage, to have been just fired, as the flames were then only running about the loose straws beneath the thatch. Without dress- ing himself he proceeded at once to arouse Mr. Mere dith, his family, and all the nearest villagers, who quickly and readily responded to his summons. Mr. Meredith's farm is an extensive one, and the buildings attached to it were very complete, and on a large scale. The stack-yard contiguous to the buildings was plentifully filled. Though in the course of about a quarter of an hour several persons had arrived it was at once discovered that they could possibly do nothing to slve any portion either of the hay or grain. Most unfortunately the morning was very windy, a strong breeze blowing from the S.W. For some time past the weather had been remarkably calm, and doubtless this particular time had been carefully selected for the perpetration of the diabolical deed. In a very short time the whole stack-yard, containing 14 stacks, and some of them very large, was enveloped in flames, and all hopes of saving anything were given up. The wind carrying the flames in the direction of the buildings, they too very soon caught fire, and the scene now presented was awfully grand. One building after another became a prey to the devour ing element, and in about an hour and a half two large barns, granary, waggon-shed, straw shed, stables, and feeding stalls had fallen into ruins. The farm-yard forms three sides of a quadrangle, the house forming the fourth. At one time strong fears were entertained that the house (a respectable resi- deuce) would take fire. This, however, moat provi dentially, through the advice and exertions of the rector, the Rev. T. L. Gleadowt, aided by the as sistance of some of his parishioners, was prevented. The Rev. Gentleman was one of the first at the scene of desolation, and immediately dispatched his servant. on horseback to Shrewsbury for the fire engines. Though Frodesley is eight miles from that town, the engines arrived within an hour and three-quarters from the time of their being sent for. The fire men were active in the discharge of their duty, but their exertions were principally confined to playing the engines upon the mouldering stacks to prevent the flakes of fire, row rising, from being blown into the neighbouring and continuous premises of another extensive farmyard, near to which were also the church and rectory-house. About 11 o'clock the fire was pretty well put out. The farm belongs to Sir E. J. Smythe, Bart., of Acton Burnell ; and it is calcu lated that by the burning down of the buildings he Will sustain a loss of 1,0001., and that that of Mr. Meredith will amount to 1,2001. Early in the morn ing Mr. Lewis, superintendent of the county con stabulary force, was in attendance with some of his men. In the middle of the day Mr. E. W. Smythe Owen; a magistrate for the county, and Captain Mayne, the head of the police force, arrived at Frodesley. A most searching investigation was set on foot, but we regret to add that nothing has been elicited which is likely at present to lead to the dis covery of the wretch who perpetrated the horrid crime, for there exists no doubt that it was the deed of an incendiary. We must not, however, omit to notice the admirable manner in which the whole of the villagers who were present, men as well as women, conducted themselves throughout the whole affair. No measured praise is due to them for their untiring exertions in rendering every assistance in their power; and though the• whole of the valuables and furniture were removed from the house when it was supposed that it must have unavoidably been burnt, on their being replaced not a single article of any kind was missing. PROPOSED STEAM LINE FROM LIVERPOOL TO THE ST. LAWRENCE. —We are informed that a scheme is now pri vately in agitation for the construction of a line of steam ships, of large carrying capacity, between the Mersey and Quebec, in order to promote the prosperity of the Canadian provinces, and the comfort of emigrants and passengers to the settlement of the far west, of Canada, and the United States. Several documents bearing on the project have been placed in our possession by the gentleman from whom it has or iginated, but our restricted space will not permit of any d e t a iled description. •Ire believe the leading features to be, however, the formation of a steam . line as indicated, and the advantages may be summed up in the following brief space : Ist, Extension of steam . enterprise . into a new region; Tendency to throw emigrants . into the British who, theq u i a n y s steoafd Newof b colonial possessions, rather than those of a foreign Power; 3d, Greater comfort and welfare of emigrant passengers, may be carried up to Quebec, there elci_nogricl,anded among . the sharpers who throng transferred to steamers of 500 tons burden, and at once draughted on board those steamers to the far west of Canada, or rid the lakes, rivers, and Welland Canal, to the far west of the United States, or, finally, rid the Mississippi, even to the Gulf of Mexico ; 4th, Tendency to cement the union of the parent coun t ry and her magnificent dependency, to foster the Canadas as sources of timber supplies , in the event of an interruption of supplies from the Baltic by the occur. rence of a war with Russia, and also to develope the agricul tural resources of the colony. During the week the plan has been submitted t o several' gentlemen in Liverpool, and, we believe, Lai also been laid before Lord Stanley, and Mr. Hawes, Under-Secretary for the Colonial Department. For our own part we are happy to introduce it to public notice, expressing, however, no opinion save upon the general expe diency of the merchants of this country grasping every ad cantage offered to advance the growing development of si eam communication in almost every region. — Liverpool Albion [ADVERTISEMENT. j —The further examination of the parties suspected of the Frimley murder will take place on Saturday, which will enable the Observer of Sunday, Oc tober 13, to give the fullest particulars, and all other matters connected with this atrocious affair.

EVENING, OCTOBER to, 1850. WRECK of the MARY FLORENCE. The annexed interesting details relative to the loss of the ship Mary Florence, on the Arabian coast, have been furnished by Messrs. Henry and Calvert Toul min, of St. Helena-place, City, owners of the vessel. The Mary Florence left London for Aden on the 16th of February last, with coals, which she had taken on board at Shields. She was quite a new ship, coppered bottomed, and this was her first voyage, her cargo being fur the depot of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company at Aden. Her master, Captain Christopher Short, it seems, had a small share in the vessel. He was accompanied by his wife, a lady of very respectable connexions re siding at Blythe, in Durham ; the crew, consisting of first and second officers, carpenter, steward, and 12 seamen. The ship, we understand, sighted the Comoro Islands, in the Mozambique Channel, on the 25th of May, and Cape Guardafui on the 31 of June. The latter is a headland forming the extreme eastern portion of the African coast, a few hundred miles south-east of the port of Aden and the entrance of the Red See. It was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the cape, as the master supposed it to be, was sighted, though, from what has since transpired, it is evident he was mistaken, and that he had taken the top of a high mountain inland fur the headland at the point. The course of the ship was north-west by north, while the point of land round which they had to bear stood north north •west. She had her topsail single reefed, topgallant sails set, and was running about nine miles per hour,with a smart wind blowing south west. She continued in this course till about twenty minutes after ten o'clock at night, when the crew were startled by the ship striking heavily, and dis covered, to their utter amazement, that she had run ashore. The impression on their minds just before was that they had rounded the Cape, and were bear ing up for Aden. Attempts were instantly made to get the vessel off, but without success. A heavy sea and a strong current running in from the Indian Ocean swept the ship in towards the land. Next morning some of the natives swain off to the vessel, and appeared friendly, offering to render assistance. The master, finding he could not get the vessel off, accepted their aid, and with some of his crew con • trived to get an anchor ashore, and bent a hawser to it, securing the other end to the masthead. On the following day, the sth, the sea increasing and beating over the stern of the ship, the stores and sails were got ready to send ashore, and by means of the hawser the first officer gained the beach, and two seamen followed, when those on the deck commenced floating the stores to them. The natives exhibited every desire to assist, and in the course of the afternoon large numbers came down to the beach. Most of them were armed, and a chief headed them. The latter dis played the same feeling as the others, and appointed guard to protect the property that had been got ashore. The next day the same friendly spirit being evinced, the master continued to send, his stores ashore, and in the afternoon it was determined to effect a safe passage along the hawser for Mrs. Short, as the weather was becoming boisterous. By means of slings attached to the hawser she was conveyed to the shore in safety. Captain Short was about to follow, when the unfortunate lady, notwithstanding the protection of the first officer and seamen, was at once seized by the Arabs, and, apparently to those in the ship, was carried away, the natives at the same time attacking the crew with spears, and driving them into the sea. The chief officer got hold of the hawser that communicated with the ship, and was making an attempt to gain it, when the natives rushed forward and cut the rope. He was conse e quently precipitated into the sea, and must have pe rished had not one of the seamen swan to his as sistance, and brought him into shallow water. Captain Short had the pinnace instantly launched, and was in the act of jumping into it with one or two of his men, to go to his wife's assistance, when a sea struck the boat, and broke her away, and she was carried ashore. - The moment the boat touched the shore it was seized by the natives, who got into it, and endeavoured to push off, as it was supposed, to board the vessel, but, owing to a very heavy ground swell, as soon as they got off, the boat was carried back again further up on the beach. Already had the plunder commenced. The stores and goods that bad been landed were scattered in all ,di rections, and a general scuffle took place among the natives in their endeavours to possess themselves of the property, amidst yells and cries of exultation. Captain Short was most anxious to afford assistance to his unfortunate wife, but it was impossible, with the few hands be had with him, to make any endea vour to rescue her, all the firearms and 'ammunition having been sent ashore. The captain and the men who remained on board were on deck the whole night in the hope of meeting with an opportunity to ga in the beach in the longboat, but they were deterred from making the attempt in consequence of the hos tile attitude assumed by the natives. In the course of the night shrieks were heard from the shore, which were supposed to proceed from Mrs. Short and the men belonging to the ship. Next morning the chief and his followers were seen strut ting about in the articles of European clothing they had stolen from the ship's stores. Captain Short, ex pecting an attack would be made on the vessel, re solved to launch the longboat and abandon the wreck. This was accordingly done, and putting into the boat all the provisions that remained, the crew shoved off, and anchored about 300 yards from the ship. The natives soon afterwards swam off to the vessel in great numbers, and boarding her proceeded to strip her of everything that was valuable. Having completed this outrage they attempted to gain posses sion of the longboat, and would have succeeded had not the crew immediately put out to sea. Having a fair wind for Aden, the boat in two days gained eighty miles up the coast, when, the wind veering to the north-west, she was driven back. An effort was then made to obtain fresh water from a place called Cape Felix, but the natives came down to the beach, and drove the helpless mariners away. About ten miles lower down, however, they succeeded in getting ten gallons of water at the price of a gold watch and other valuables. They then took a course down the coast of Africa, enduring horrible privations. The allowance of water was only one gill per day each man, with hardly anything to eat. On the 19th of June they anchored about 300 yards from the shore, in a small bay about 100 miles south-east of Cape Guardafui. In this bay it appears, a vessel named the De wan was lying, though the crew of the Mary Florence were not aware of her proximity. The natives swam to the boat, and plundered the un fortunate seamen of their money, a chronometer, sextant, and other articles. One of the natives, who could speak a little English, offered to apprise the people of the Dewan of the condition of the unfortu nate sufferers. Captain Short immediately wrote a note, which the native undertook to deliver, and on the following day the master (Mr. J. Reed Jefferies) came overland to the assistance of, his country men. In weighing the long-boat anchor a sudden squall capsized it, and one of the crew was unfortu nately drowned. Mr. Jefferies at once obtained a supply of food for Short and his men, who were almost reduced to a state of starvation. Mr. Jefferies, hearing of the infamous conduct of the natives, sought out the chief and complained, but 'he found that the chief participated in the plunder. Indeed it was found necessary to pay a ransom of 4/. ,for the boat before the natives would deliver it up. As soon -as possible Mr. Jeffries got the crew over to his vessel, and in a few days sailed for Muscat. There Captain" Short and his men received the greatest kindness and ,hospitaity, the son of the Imaum placing 120 dollars at their disposal, and other parties affording every assistance that was desirable. As soon as Captain Short had partially recovered from the exposure and privation he had endured during the 15 days and nights he had passed at sea in the longboat, he obtained a passage to Bombay, and on his arrival there he at once communicated the cir cumstances of the wreck to the Government authori ties, and prevailed on them to dispatch a steamer to rescue his unfortunate wife and the remainder of his crew, whom he supposed tobe in the hands of the na tives at Cape Guardefui. Just, however, as the steamer was about starting on the expedition, intelligence ar rived from Aden to the effect that a portion of the crew had been taken off the coast by Captain Ram sey, of the Columbia, on the 12th of August, but that the remainder, and also Mrs. Short, had perished in an attempt to escape from the natives. A letter received from Captain Ramsey observes that when his vessel was off the village of Aisle, near Cape Felix, on the Soowall coast, he was hailed from a canoe, which proved to contain the steward of the wrecked vessel. Learning from him that the chief officer of the ship and two seamen were in the hands of the natives, Captain Ramsey dispatched his boat to bring them on board, but the chief refused to deliver them up unless he received 130 rupees ransom money. This demand was complied with, and the men were taken on board and landed at Aden. The owners of the Mary Florence have learned the names of those who perished with the captain's wife— namely, Mr. Wishart, the second officer ; S. Williams and Thomas Jones, seamen. Those taken on board the Columbia were the chief mate, Junius Perkins ; the steward, David Roberts, and John M`Kinnon. It is now ascertained that poor Mrs. Short, with the other sufferers, met their sad fate on the evening of the same 'day that they landed from the wreck. The natives stripped Mrs. Short of her rings, ear rings, and other jewellery, and also took from her 120 sovereigns. She managed afterwards to free her self from them, and rushed down to the beach, where a portion of the crew were assembled. They ma naged to get to the boat, and, although there were no oars in it, at the earnest entreaties of Mrs. Short, it was determined to make an attempt to regain the ship. The boat was got off, but was swamped by the heavy surf, and the seamen who accompanied her met with a watery grave. The spot where the ship was wrecked is on the same part of the coast where the East India Company's steamer Memnon was lost some few years since. The Mary Florence was nearly 600 tons burden, and cost 12,0001. She was partially insured at Lloyd's. FALKIRK TRYST. TUESDAY OCT. 8 —The third and last of these annual markets for the season commenced on the usual stance this morning. At an early hour the different flocks were placed. The purchasers were certainly numerous, but they were not of that class who carry away the stock of a Falkirk tryst, being principally composed of farmers. The extensive English dealers on the ground were few, and the job bers were still fewer, they having still their hands full of the last month's purchases, the murrain having broke out to such an extent amongst them that they have not been able to show them at any market for sale. It was generally allowed that such a show in point of quality and number, had not been seen at this tryst for many years past. Although they had been exposed for a few days on the road to a very heavy rain, those of them who got parked in the neighbourhood on Saturday or Sunday, had a very fresh and clean-like appearance, and even those who only arrived yesterday, although evi dently a little fatigued, were upon the - -A/We in fair condition. About ten o'clock prices began - to be • asked, but it was fully half-an-hour after that time before any lots were observed to leave •the ground— the first being one or two lots of black-faced wed ders. About half-past eleven o'clock, sales for all the good descriptions began to be made, and continued so till about half-past twelve o'clock, when the market came to a complete stand. .The sales effected up to this time were, upon the average, about ten per cent. on the general stock below last month's prices. A large portion of the better conditioned of all descrip tions of stock were ultimately picked up; but many of the inferior lots, disposed of after the above hour, suffered a great reduction. The holders of stock were not much, apparently, struck with the reduction, as sheep, for the last four years, have brought pi ices far above their real value, cr in proportion to the prices of black cattle. No doubt, the dealers have not been pocketing all these large prices, the breeders being well aware of the demand in the south for this description of stock. About two o'clock a good many lots exchanged owners, and up to four sales were here and there observed to be made, and all the information that could be got, prices were still continuing to come down. The demand appeared to be more particu larly for good ewes of both descriptions, and a toler able clearance was effected amongst this description of. stock, although many of the secondary and inferior qualities. remained unsold. The Cheviot wedders of the better class had a tolerably fair demand, at a reduction ; and the secondary and inferior lots, al though many exchanged owners, a number were still on sale at five o'clock. The black-faced wedders, even the best of them, with few exceptions, were stiff to sell, and an alarming number of this description of stock were also unsold; in fact, some of the holders never, broke bulk. The failure of the turnip crop is the principal cause of the wedders suffering so much at this time. The remaining portion of the stock, if not disposed of to-night or early to morrow, will be driven either to the weekly markets in large towns, or put on grass till Doune market. No doubt the Highland dealers have lost money by their purchases for this market, but breeders are yet quite safe. Prices have gone so much further back than was expected, that a considerable difficulty was experi enced in ascertaining the prices of lots. Fully one-third of the general stock remained un sold at the close of the market. The following are the reductions on the different kinds of stock below that of last month :—Best Cheviot wedders, 23.; inferior kinds, 35.; Cheviot ewes, best quality, 6d. ; inferior kinds, Is. to 2s. ; black-faced wedders, best, ls. a head ; second qua lity, 33.; inferior kinds, 45.; black-faced ewes, best descriptions, ls. 6d.; inferior kinds of such, 2s. 6d. The following are a few of the lots that changed owners WRITE-FACED. — The best ewes from Longart, Strathglass, belonging to the Messrs. Laidlaw, were sold by Mr. John Murray, Edinburgh, at 195.; the wedders of the same stock were bought by Mr. Adam Marshall, Edinburgh, said to be fully 265.

WOLVERHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY. --The first im portant meeting of ironmasters for the present quarter was held at Wolverhampton to-day. The one usually held at Walsall the previous day seldom affords any conclusive indication of the real state of the iron market, or of the intentions of those by whom prices are regulated and adjusted. The proceedings at Walsall are of a minor character, and exercise com paratively little influence upon the meetings which subsequently occur at Wolverhampton, Birmingham, and Dudley. It may be mentioned, however, that at Walsall yesterday, notwithstanding the drooping condition of the iron trade, the settlement of quar terly accounts was described as far more satisfactory than, under the circumstances, might have been ex pected. At the Wolverhamptori meeting the opinions of the trade generally are first ascertained with regard to the resolutions adopted at the preliminary meeting, held a fortnight previously • for it must be born e i n mind that the decisions of that body are, as a matter of course, binding only upon its associated members. It was admitted on all hands to-day that the pros• pects of the ensuing winter months were extremely unsatisfactory. The reduction during the last two months of the exports of metals and machinery is deemed of fearful import, while the increased tariff lately adopted by the Spanish Government apparently for the exclusive advantage of Ilenredia Mango the 1# /)./a1). e re De On the sth inst., in Clarges-street,"Lientenant-Gen, , s t 1 James Stevenson Barns, K.C.B. and K.C., Colonel `',, 20th Regiment. ll• tif' On the 4th inst., at Worlington Rectory, Mildenh s , I , folk, the Rev.

For it is Germany's cause equally which is carried on here, her honour which is guarded, her freedom upheld and defended, and her rights which are sealed with blood. Extraordinary assistance is required to conduct the war to a glorious issue. " It will be Germany's sacred duty to send us the aid we require, while it is yet time for it. A people count ing the number of 40,000,000 can do great things if united. " Our fate will be an earnest of Germany's future. May she raise our country from the low position of the past and present! May the Almighty grant this, for in His hands are the destinies of all nations!" The President, in closing the sitting, gave a short recapitulation of its labours. He said— " We have adopted measures that for the time will im pose heavy sacrifices on the country. We will pay, we will arm, we will fight, if an honourable peace is not ob tained. Firm as the German oak, firm as the Schleswig- Holstein beech, is the confidence of the Duchies in Ger many. The last intelligence from the army is not favourable, but it shall not depress us.

MANCHESTER, TIIESDA Y..--The improved accounts of the Bombay market, in regard to yarns and goods, which were received on Friday last, have led to an increase of business for that quarter. Some rather considerable sales of shirtings have been made, on slightly better terms than were before practicable, and an advance of lid. to 3d. per piece is now de manded. We mentioned in our last that the eastern merchants were doing more in yarns, especially in the finer numbers. To-day this is extended to lower counts, and the quotations are raised id. to id. per lb. since this day week. The continental buyers have proceeded cautiously, and to a very limited extent ; and the home consumers of the lower and middling counts have still held back from pur chasing. Influenced, however, by the hardening ten dency of the raw material, and in some degree encou raged by what is going on for India, the producers of bundles, warps, and cops exhibit greater firmness than they did a week ago, and, in general, are more diffi cult to deal with than they were then. The same causes affect the manufacturers in the same way as the spinners ; and, though not able to sell freely, they hold more steadily to their prices than of late, for other cloths, as well as the India descriptions. The reports are good from the Leipsic fair ; and all accounts go to show a highly satisfactory state of trade throughout Germany, holding out an encourag ing prospect as to the demand for English yarns, though the high range of prices may continue to in-. duce the manufacturers to work upon as little stock as possible, which, however, must cause their opera tion to extend through the winter, more than they have usually done. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There has not been so good an 'attendance of buyers in the market to-day, and 'the'besintitit thibsitcteci Weil l 'of a More limited n'aftiiet than ual -.'' This 'Fferchlmts haie been offering less prices for . flahills, and in some instances it may have been accepted. There is a good demand fin. kerseys, and the manufacturers find a ready sale far them at last week's prices. There is rio change in the wool market worth reporting. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The aspect of business here remains unchanged, with a moderate inquiry for manufactured goods. We look, however, for a better demand ere long ; as, taking the last two yeais for index, the winter season has proved more active than any other part of the year. In the thrown silk market a more general inquiry prevails, with a better disposition on the part of buyers to make purchases. The taw silk market is very firm, the only feature worth notice is the declaration of public sales to take place in London on the 23d inst., at which most of the recent importations of China and Bengal silks are expected to be brought forward. fIUDDE RSFIELD, TUESDAY.—There has been a falling off in the business of our market to-day, the demand for goods has not been very active, owing to the continued wetness of the weather. The goods that have been principally called for have been stripes and plaids of large pattern, for home consumption. The fancy manufacturers complain of the inactivity of their branch of business. The wool market is not so firm as before, a rather lower figure being asked for some qualities. SATUEDAY.—The demand for worstO goodscontinues somewhat languid, and the manti lecturers produce cautiously, except to order. A little inquiry begins to be made for fancy goods for the next season. The yarn trade is pretty much as it was. The spinners are fully- employed on old orders; and the shipping houses .will not enter into any new contracts, except at a reduction. Much de pends on the result of Leipsic fair. the prospects of which are, at present, favourable. There is not much doing in wool, and no alteration in prices. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—Since our last report there is little change to notice in the trade. There has not been much done at the Cloth Halls, and the woollen trade generally is rather quiet. There is a fair busi ness doing in the warehouses for the home trade; but in the shipping houses trade is rather dull. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

HEALTH of LONDON DURING the WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths registered in London in the week end ing fast Saturday were 893. In the corresponding ,week of ten years (1840-9) the average was 970, which, if a certain proportion be added for supposed increase of population, becomes 1,058 ; the present rate of mortality, therefore, continues comparatively low, and the decrease of. last week amounts to 165 deaths. The class of zymotic or epidemic diseases . exhibit in this return 195 fatal cases. This is a lower numbet than in any corresponding week since that of 1846, when there were 179 ; in those of the three following 'years the deaths from epidemic diseases were respectively 318, 430 and 608. Last week small-pox was f a t a l i n 10 cases ; meas l es i n on ly 7 ; , hooping cough in 27 • scarlatina in 31. A death from the last -mentioneicause occurred in Mill-street, St. James, Bermondsey ; and Mr. Martin, the regis trar, observes, that out of t en d eat h s which he regis tered during the week, six - , arising from various diseases, occurred a few yards of the tidal ditch, Jacob's Island, " yet the intolerable nuisance remains unabated." The mortality from diarrhan and dysentery continues to decline; the deaths, which in a week of August rose to 155, have now fallen to 47. It is worthy of note that 13 deaths ' occurred in the workhouse, Whitechapel (North sub• district), all with one exception between the 27th of September and 4th October; and of these, 7 wer e 'caused by diarrhoea, 2 by fever, and the remaining 4 by various causes. Seven deaths from cholera (five of which were among children) were registered last - week—a number which is rather more than has been usual lately. The following are the cases in detail:— In St. Mary, Paddington, at 7, Hall-place, on the 30th of September, a grainer, aged 19 years, " cholera spasmodica (48 hours), subsequent fever (3 days)." In All Souls, Marylebone, at 38, Union-street, on the Ist of October, the son of a bricklayer (deceased), aged 5 years, " bilious cholera (2 days), convulsions (8 hours)." The child was healthy up to the time of attack, which suddenly commenced with bilious vomiting. - I In the same sub-district, at S 9, Foley-street, on the Ist of aetober, a coachmaker, aged 44, " rheu matic fever, aggravated diarrl - ma, cholera." In Somers -town, at 61, Brill-row, on the 24th of September, the son of a plasterer, aged 20 months, "English cholera" (post mort.)—lnquest. In Islington West, at 6, Payne-street, on the 27th of September, the daughter of a bricklayer, aged 15 months, "cholera infantum (1 day)." • In St. Mary, Strand, at 2, White lion- court, St. ' Clement Danes, on the 2clof October ia , :i the' son of a ' blacksmith, aged 6" years, ""cEolera 81 lours): I❑ Guy's Hospital, on the 3d of October, a sailor boy, aged 14 years, " cholera." He had been brought from the ship Belle, opposite Hay's Wharf, St. Olave's. Besides the ordinary causes of mortality, a few cases of a special character, extracted from the re turns of the week, deserve to be mentioned. Two men and a woman died from intemperance, besides a ca-e of suicide during insanity, which was the result of the same habit. Another case of suicide is reported, in which a boy, whose age was only 12 years, hanged himself when insane, and was suspended about 10 minutes. Death did not ensue till three days after wards. A boy of 8 months died from anwmia (5 weeks), following haemorrhage from lancing the gums. Vaccination was fatal to a child by producing erysi pelas. Two persons died of tic douloureux. The birth of 680 boys and 722 girls, in all 1,402 children, were registered in the week. Bench of Magistrate.) Eleanor Bennett, 22, was indicted for having threatened the life of Isabella Gritce Mouutford, the schoolmistress at Bethnal-green workhouse. The defendant, when called upon to plead, for some minutes took no notice of the question, but looked about the court in a determined manner; at length The officer in the dock called out in her ear, "What have you to say in answer to the charge; are you guilty or not guilty ?" The defendant—" Oh I I'll tell her. I'll give it her again if I can only get at her, even if you give me three years for it. That's what I'll do. That's what I've got to say. What do you think of that, old fellow ?" and at length seeing the prosecutrix at the end of the dock, she stooped down, and was endeavouring to pull off one of her shoes, no doubt with the intention of throwing it at her, when the officer laid hold of her. She threw the officer's arm from her, and bega❑ to mutter, in a rapid manner, "I'll give it her. I'll teach her to interfere with me. I'll give it to her if it's twelve months to come." The officer—Did you hear ? Are you guilty or not guilty ? The defendant—l shan't tell you. I can tell you this, if I go to prison, when I get out I will do it again. All efforts to induce the defendant to plead were entirely unavailing, and at length a plea of not guilty was ordered to be taken, and the case proceeded. Mr. M. PRENDERGAST thsn stated that he was in structed to appear for the prosecution by the parochial authorities of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, and in the course of his address stated the main facts of the case as they were afterwards detailed by the wit nesses. Miss Isabella Grace Mountford stated that she was schoolmistress at St. Matthew, Bethnal-green work house, and on Sunday morning, the 29th of Septem ber, the defendant Was assisting the storekeeper in weighing out the dinners in the dining-hall. Witness happened to lift up the top of a desk, and there saw a plate of meat and potatoes covered over with an apron, and inquired to whom it belonged. Defendant said that was no business of hers (witness), became very violent in her temper, and took up a plate, threatening to split her head with it. She was, how ever, prevented from carrying her threat into execu tion. This was at about twenty minutes past one o'clock. Being thus prevented from striking her, the defendant said that she would remember the witness, and do what she (defendant) intended when she was not aware of it. At about a quarter before two o'clock she followed the witness with a tin pan in her hand, and aimed a blow at her head, which would have taken effect but for the interposition of a Sunday tutor to the school, who came up and held her arm. She was then given into custody, and the following day taken before a magistrate, who committed her for trial. The defendant here made a rush from the end of the dock towards the witness -box, exclaiming "I'll stick a knife in her. HI can't at one time, I will at another." Mr. Presdee,' , the tutor to the school, corroborated the evidence of the first witness. The defendant again burst into a violent rage. At_ the desire . ' of the 'Learned •;Chairinan, Mr. Hedger, the surgeon of the workhouse, was ordered to be called ; and, in answer to questions put to him, said the defendant was occasionally very irritable, but he could not say that she was in an unsound state of mind. Mr. Sawyer, the officer of the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, said the defendant had been frequently in that prison, once for felony, and the other occasions for assaults and wilful damage. The master of the workhouse said he had obtained a list (which he handed in) of seven convictions of the defendant before various magistrates of the metropolis for wilful damage. The defendant again made another attempt to take off her shoes, but was prevented by the officer in the dock with her from doing so. The jury having found the defendant Guilty, Tne Learned CHAIRMAN sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned for one month, and then to enter into recognizances, herself in 201. and two sureties of 101. each, to keep the peace towards. all her Majesty's subjects, and to Miss Isabella Grace liountford in particular, for the term of twelve months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. John Collins, a carter in the service of Mr. W. Bloomfield, a carrier in the City, was re-examined on a charge of stealing a truss of cloth, worth 1201. A cartload of parcels, including the stolen pro perty, was intrusted to the prisoner for delivery. The truss of cloth was taken from the cart on its way to St. Martin's-lane, and the prisoner said he was unable to account for it. A reward was offered fur the detection of the thief, and this brought forward a young man, living as a domestic servant at 13, Lin coln's Inn-fields, who said that he saw the cart on the east side of Lincoln's Inn-fields (where he had no right to be) in the middle of the day in question ; that it was brought to a stand by the driver, while a cab drove alongside of it ; and that he then saw a man move a havy parcel from the cart into the cab, afterwards getting on to the box, and proceeding at a rapid rate into the City. The suspected cabman, named Thomas Drewe, was placed at the bar at the present examination, and identified by the servant. He declared he was not in the square at all on the day of the robbery; but this was contradicted by a second witness, a labouring man, who saw him drive out of it. Both the carter and the cabman were remanded for further examination. Richard Shall and Hannah:Shail, his mother, were charged, the former with stealing, and the latter with receiving, a quantity of silk, cloths, &c., the property of Mr. Hewett, linendraper, in High Holborn. The male prisoner had lived in the prosecutor's service for ten years. On Tuesday he was suspected of appropriating some li nen d usters an d a p i ece o f silk, and, a detective officer being sent for, he was narrowly watched. He left the shop in the evening with a parcel under his arm, and was followed by Sergeant Thompson to Shadwell, where he resided, and where the officer took him into custody with the articles in his posiession. Next morning the officer went to the prisoner's house, at 25, Spencer-street, and found a quantity of stock, since identified by Mr. 'Hewett, which the prisoner's mother said had been brought home, from time to time, by her son. The manager of the business said that the prisoner had represented his mother as in possession of a hand some annuity; it now ap peared that she ha d b een de pendent upon him for her sup por t , an d b o th had lived in a good style. Mr JARDIN E remanded the prisoners, accepting bai for the mother. MAR YLEBOIVE. James Worthington Livesey, a ma n of gentlemanly exterior, described as a law s t u d en t of the Inner Temple, was placed at th e b ar before t h e s i tt i ng ma gistrate, Mr. Broughton, on a charge of robbery. Mr. Davies , so l icitor, of Dorset-street, attended for the prisoner. - Mrs. Mary Ann George, a widow lady, residing at mden-town, deposed that in June last the p risoner, who represented himself as a No. 1, Priory street, C a her house, and that at the expi ra tion of three weeks occupancy of apartments at room 16 part of a work entitled Old England. lawyer,hsuddenlye en entered rleedf left upon withouttbe payi ng the rent due from him. She soon afte rwards missed from her sitting - She of course suspected the prisoner as the thief; and, on seeing the report in the newspapers a fortnight ago of his having been sent for 14 days to the House of Correction from this court, in default of his paying a fine of 503. for a violent and unprovoked assault upon a respectable married woman, she gave such in formation as led to his apprehension ; the index to , the work in question was found under the prisoner's Bowie, 383 5, sa id that on the same morning he tookriou House the o fe o prisoner Correction, i intooil. bed. custody as he was leavi ng the his incarceration for a fortnight having expired. witness told him what he was charged with, when he heaved three deep sighs and said nothing. In reply to the magistra te, witness said he ha d n ot m as yet h a d ti me to trace t he missin g property; he be able to do so in the event of a few da y s being allowed him. Mr. Davies remarked that his client was a man very respectably connect ed, and that the case, as it stood, wa s mere ly one of susp icion. The prisoner was, in defa ult of p rocurin g bail, re manded for a week. a W sne ° r, a id R , STREET. SHmlPcile aged German, and hi s Gasper W wife, Deborah Wasner, were placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged upon suspicion of having caused the death of their infant c hild, six weeks old. Police-constable Gifford, fl 89, stated that in con sequence of information he received that the prisoners were believed to have murdered their child, whibh had died under sudden and suspicious circumstances on the preceding day, he repaired at one o'clock that morning to their house in George-street, White, chapel, and, upon entering a lower room, observed a coffin . upon the table containing the dead body of an infant. He questioned the female prisoner as to the tim e and circumstances attending its death, when she told him that it had been affected with violent purg ing for two or three' days, which had terminated fatally about eight o'clock on the preceding morning. She further stated that she herself had administered to it a teaspoonful of castor oil, but that no medical gen tleman had been called in to attend it. He then asked the husband if he had lately had any quarrel with his wife or others in the house, but he denied that anything of the kind bad taken place. .On ex amining the person of the child he observed a small bruise at the side of the head, upon which there was an abrasion of the skin about the size of a sixpence, and both prisoners were then conveyed to the station. Sarah Bigmore, a married woman, living next door to the prisoners, stated that shortly after twelve o'clock on Tuesday night she was disturbed by a loud uproar in the prisoners' house, and heard screams of " Murder" in a woman's voice, accompanied by the exclamation, " Oh, you are murdering the child!" After listening a few minutes, during which he heard the voice of a man in vehement altercation with the woman, the latter commenc e d crying bitterly, and observed, in an agitated manner, " Oh, you ---, you have killed my child !" Both the voices were soon afterwards hushed, and nothing further occurred to attract her observation. Samuel Bigmore, the husband of the last witness, fully corroborated the facts deposed to in her evi dence, and added that, on the afternoon of the same day, observing that the shutters were up, he asked the male prisoner, who was standing at the door, if his child were dead ; the prisoner answered that it was, and witness then said that he had heard a strange noise during the night, and he hoped he had not " muddled" the child out of its life ; to which he answered, " Oh, no; it was .only my wife, who caused a slight disturbance." Police-constable Button, H 215, the officer upon the beat, also deposed to having heard the noise and altercation in the prisoner's house at the time in question. Mr. ARNOLD said that the case was one of much suspicion, which required the fullest investigation, and ordered the prisoners, who remained perfectly silent throughout the proceedings, to be remanded for a week, to await the result of the post mortem exami nation of the infant's body. SOUTH W ARK. John Baker, late gunroom steward on board the Teaser screw steam-vessel, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel and other property belonging to some of the officers of the vessel. Mr. LONG remanded him for further examination. wealthy Peninsular ironmaster, threatens the destrtic' tion of the South Staffordshire iron trade with that country. This is a matter of considerable importance' inasmuch as the Spaniards have been large consuiner6 of the manufactured iron of these districts. Tber e appears, under all circumstances, little prospect of 6 13 / immediate fresh outlet for British iron ; but, o n the contrary, should an advance of price be established , e contraction in the requirements for foreign market 4 may rather be expected. It is worthy of relear°' however, that notwithstanding the decrease of meta ls and machinery exported for the last two months, th e general exports of iron for the last twelve months ba ps been in considerable excess of any former years. , The nominal price of South Staffordshire iron, F, declared to-day, may be considered the same as I s s " quarter. Unexceptionable authority gives thetn as follow:—Good makes, in Liverpool, bars, 61. ss. PI ton ; hoops, 71. ; sheet, 71. 15s. In London, 53. 6 ' extra. Fair qualities, 103. to 103. 6d. less. The se are unquestionably low prices, but still prices 1 ? which Liverpool buyers are said to place little con s ' dence. They are, however, 10s. to 15s. higher tha t rates were in 1843. Tin plates, unlike iron, were in great demand, se, could be purchased only at prices which must leave ' large margin to the maker. The causes which have led to the present untosvir d condition of the iron Wide are excess of productiv e ' and the entire absence of railway demand.
