E The CHAIRMAN suggested that the address should be privately presented, and that the deputation should report the result to a public meeting. Mr. Pit/DEAUX defended the COUTSO taken by Kos suth as sound and rations], and exonerated Mr. Cob. den from all blame in the matter. _ . Mr. lIENsnAw opposed the motion, and stated that, in his opinion, the people of this country, even if shunned or insulted by Kossuth, would still cling to the cause of Hungary.—(Hear.) Other delegates having spoken, principally in de fence of the course taken by Kossuth, and in opposi tion to the motion, Mr. HoLmEs moved, as an amendment, that the delegates should be sent bark for instruction, which having been seconded, - Mr. H. Nicnoms moved another amendment, to the effect that a great public meeting should ha con vened in the most spacious place obtainable. The second amendment having been seconded, a long discussion followed, in the course of which, n. Mr. DELAFORCE expressed his regret that the de monstration bad been :ban:lend, as he felt assured that it would have powerfully affected the despots of the Continent. Hz; thought that Kossuth was too wise to publish all his sentiments, and he (Mr. Delafons: , ) for one was content to know that Kossuth had struggled for tha liberties of Hungary.—(Hear.) Mr. IRONSIDES, of Sheffield, stated that he had reason to know that the parties who surrounded Kos • suth had determined before Kossuth arrived to keep him from fully responding to the sentiments of the English people. He (Mr. Ironsides) was going down to Southampton to-morrow, and hoped to have some serious conversation with those who had induces Kossuth to send such .an answer. The discussion terminated by the adoption of the original motion, it being understood that the meeting should be an open air one. It was then objected that the working classes could not be called out on Friday, and, after a somewhat desultory discussion, it was decided that Kossuth should be requested to accept the address on Monday, and the letter originally agreed upon was altered in accordance with the decision, and Mr. Ironsides was requested to carry it to Kossuth. THE MARRIAGES,73IIITHS, and DEATES OF ENGLAND. (From the Quarterly Return of the Registrar- General.) This return comprises the births and deaths regis tered by 2,189 registrars in all the districts of Eng lane during the summer quarter ending September 30, 1851 ; and the marriages in snore than 12,000 churches or chapels, about 3,190 registered places of worship unconnected with the Established Church, and 623 superintendent registrars' offices, in the quar ter that ended June 30, 1851. The return of marriages is not complete ; but the defects are inconsiderable, and approximate numbers have been supplied• from the records of previous years. The marriages still exceed the average, but are less numerous than the marriages in the corresponding quarter of last year. The births continue to increase rapidly, and the mortality is below the average. The returns, therefore, present a favourable view of the state of the country. MARRIAGES. 38,498 marriages were registered in the quarter ending June 30. This number is less by 520 than the number registered in the spring quarter of 1850, but more by 3,777 than the number registered in the spring of 1848. The marriages only amounted to 30,048 in the spring quarter of 1842 ; they rose to 34,268 in the spring quarter of 1844; to 37,111 in the spring quarter of 1846; declined to 35,197 in 1847 ; and rose again to 39,018 i❑ the spring quar ter of 1850. Every marriage is the establishment of a family, and is generally the result of some delibera tion ; it is not surprising, therefore, that the pros perity of the country and the prospects of the people should be expressed pretty accurately by. the fluctua tions in the marriage returns. While the marriages increased rapidly in some parts they were stationary or decreased in others. In Louden 6,515 couples were married, which exceeds the number married in the summer of 1848 by 1,106. In Surrey out of London, in Sussex, Kent, and Berkshire, the marriages were nearly stationary; in Hampshire they decreased. In the South Midland, the Eastern Counties, as well as in Wiltshire, Dor setshire, and Devonshire, marriages were stationary or decreased; in Cornwall and Somersetsbire there was an increase. In Gloucestershire marriage was stationary ; in Herefordshire and Shropshire, the numbers married were unprecedentedly low ; in Staf fordshire, Worcestershire ' and Warwickshire—in cluding the chief seats of the Midland iron trade— the marriages increased. The marriages rose from 383 in 1848, to 487 in Birmingham. In Leicester shire, Rutlandshire, and Lincolnshire, the marriages were below; in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, above the average number ; the excess occurring chiefly in the districts of Nottingham, Chester field, and Hayfield. The marriages in Cheshire and Lancashire decreased. The decrease was considerable in Liverpool, and greater still in Man chester. In the west riding of Yorkshire there is an excess ; and this is most conspicuous in Sheffield, where the marriages in the five summer quarters ending June 1847-51, were 283, 273, 289, 339, and 404. In Leeds the marriages were 351 in the June quarter of 1848 ; 530 and 487 in the corresponding quarters of 1850 and 1851. In Hull the marriages increased from 147 in the June quarter of the cholera year, 1849 to 175 in 1850, but have fallen again to 158: The marriages decreased in the north riding of Yorkshire, in Northumberland, and Cumberland ; increased in the coal districts of Durham. In Mon mouthshire and \Vales marriages were less frequent than' in 1850. It has been observed that the marriages increase after a fatal epidemic ; and in the present return the marriages, it is seen, have been in exc ess g enerall y where cholera was most fatal in 1849. BIRTHS. 150,584 births have been registered in the quarter ending Sept. 30, 1851. This is the greatest number of births ever registered in the same season of the year, and exceed 3 by 23,411, and 15,361, and 3,614, the births in the September quarters of 1847, 1849, and 1850. The births of 467,096 children have already been registered, ar, dit is probable that in the year the numbers will not fail short of 600,000. The increase is distributed ever all the divisions of the country except the South Midland. INCREASE OF POPULATION. While 150,584 children were born and registered in the summer quarter, 91,600 persons died ; leaving an excess of 58,984 in the population. The excess of births over deaths in the first nine months of the pre sent year has been 170,411, which is probably more than equivalent to the actual increase of the popu lation. it is well known that up to a late period there has been a constant immigration of the Irish and Scotch into England, which appaars to have been fully equi valent to the emigration of the English into the colo nies and to foreign parts; but no exact statistical in formation on this subject exists. 85,603 emigrants left the ports of the United King dom at which there are Government emigration officers in the quarter ending Sept. 30, 1851. This is at the rate of 930 a day ; 6,510 a week. 13,963 sailed from Irish ports, 4,378 from Glasgow and Greenock, and 67 ; 262 from three English ports : namely, 10,062 from London, 2,799 from Plymouth, 54,401 from Liverpool. Many of the Irish emigrants are returned at Liverpool. Of the total number, 68,960 emigrants sailed to the United States, 9,268 to British North America, 6,097 to the Australian colonies, and 1,278 to other places. The emigration has hitherto been greater in 1851 than it was in the corresponding quarters of 1850.* The present movement of the population is in many respects remarkable. The free admission of grain, fruit, and meat since the scarcity is equivalent to an addition to the country of a vast tract of fertile soil, which calls for cultivators, and, as the land is abroad, for agricultural emigrants who prefer the cheap though distant lands of America to the high -rented farms of Ireland, no longer possessing a monopoly for its produce in the English market. The fact deserves attention, that while the United Kingdom. has it been has importing food in unprecedented q uantitie s, been sending out swarms of emi g rants from the popu lation, of which the marriagss and births promise to keep up a perpetual and increasing supplY. PRICES OF PROVISIONS, &C., IN THE QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1851. Average price of Consols, 96/. 10s. Average price of wheat per quarter in England and Wales, 403. 7d. Quarters of wheat cold in the 290 cities and towns in England and W a les making returns, 971,276. Quarters of wheat and wheat flour entered for home consumption at chief ports of Great Britain, 1,183,523. Average prices of meat per pound at of 33. to and Newgate markets (by the carcase), be, sd. ; mutton, 34d. to 51d. Leadenhall Potatoes (York rege n t s ) per ton at Waterside-mar ket, Southwark, when the supply of old potatoes ceased, 90s. to 110 s. STATE OF THE PUBLIC IIEALTII. The health of different parts of the country differs widely, and the difference is greatest in summer. 10 summer quarters of 1841-50 the mortality in 506 districts, comprising, when the census was taken, 10,16,886 people, was at the rate of 18.15 in 1,000 annually ' • while in 117 districts, comprising the chief towns, nod 7,795,882 people, the mortality was at the rate of 25 in 1,000 annually. Thus, at least 7 in every 25 deaths which occur in towns are the result of ar tificial causes. The mortality in the quarter ending September, 1851, was at the rate of 23 and 17.93 in * Return with which the Registrar General has been favoured by the Emigration Commissioners. At the time return was made it was not quite complete. N, 1,000 in the two groups of districts; it was a little below the average in the country, and considerably below the average in the towns. The annual rate of mortality per cent. in all England was, on the average of 10 summers, 2,099 ; in the summer quarter of 1851 it was 2.020. London has enjoyed a degree of health above the overage in the last summer quarter; 13,064 deaths were registered, which is a less number than was registered in the summer quarters of 1847 and 1848, end half the number (27,172) registered in the sum mer quarter of 1849, when cholera was epidemic. During the three months of July, August, and Sep tember, more people have passed through or resided temporarily in London, with its 2,361,640 inhabitants, than ever passed through any city before in the same time. The past experience of large armies, or of the pilgrimages of the East and of the middle ages, might have justified the sinister forebodings which some en tertained; but the railways and the improvement in sanitary arrangements have now rendered it possible to Move tnasses of men about in thousands and mil lions without danger to the public health, as the event has here proved. The deaths by violence, though less than in previous summers, were 363; 10 by poison, 35 by burns and scalds, 43 by hanging or suffocatim, 89 by drowning, 156 by fractures and contusions, 21 by wounds,,aed 9 by other violence. The number of suicides and murders registered in London was less in 1851 than in the summer quar ters of 1847, 1848, and 1850. The deaths by poison in the summer quarters of [843-50, wera 15, 20, 26; and, instead of increasing, hey were only 10 in the summer of 1851. This de crease is highly gratifying, as it follows so immedi ately the recent legislation on the subject. Fractures and contusions were more fatal than in 1849.50, but not more fatal than in 1848. That other form of poi sonieg, intemperance, in the use of alcholic drinks, seems also to be declining; 16 deaths were ascribed to intemperance, 55 to delirium tremens, in the summer quarter of 1850; while.l3 and 35 were referred to the same causes in the summer quarter of 1851. No person has died of hydrophobia in any summer quarter since 1843. The, deaths from that cause in the 6 years 1846-51 were 3 ; in the 6 years 1840-5 they amounted to 15; in the year 1839 to 4; in 1838 to 12 . . — The decrease of this dreadful form of disease may be fairly ascribed to improved police re gulations. 34 women died of metria ;55 of the other accidents of childbirth. 1,683 persons died of con sumption ; next to this disease in fatality, and far above all other diseases, was diarrhoea, which destroyed 1,456 lives in three months. Summer cholera was more fatal than it was in the summer quarters of 1847-8, and more than twice as fatal as it was in the summer of 1850. There has been a progressive in crease of diarrheas since the summer of 1841, when only 228 persons died of the disease; 627 deaths were referred to typhus, 3S to remittent fever. Ty phus was increasing at the close of the quarter. The South-Eastern Division has been less healthy than it was last year. The mortality was above the averege in the Medway district (including Rochester), the Isle of Thanet (including Margate, Ramsgate, and Broadstairs) ' Dover, Brighton, Worthing, New port in the Isle of Wight, Hungerford, and Abing don. Diarrhoea was prevalent, as well as typhus and scarlatina, in several of the districts. Three cases of cholera were fatal at Newport, in the Isle of Wight. The South Midland Division was generally healthy. Tha mortality was much below the average in the counties of Hertford, Northampton, Huntingdon, Bedford, Buckingham, and Cambridge. In Oxford shire the mortality was above the average in the dis tricts of Theme, Headington, and Oxford. In Oxford 19 persons died of scarlatina, 16 of diarrheas, and 3 of typhus. The health of Cambridge has, on the contrary, been unusually good. The deaths were only 105 in the quarter; whereas the deaths in the cor responding quarters of 1847-50 were 135, 137, 133, and 151. The registrar of St. Andrew the Great, Cambridge, states that " very great improvements have been made in the sanitary arrangements of the town." There was a small local outbreak of Asiatic cholera in Leighton Buzzard. " Three deaths from cholera occurred as follows : Oct. 28, 1851. At LOnsdale, -- a woman aged 51 years, cholera, 24 hours.' She had been from home some time, and had recently returned from Manchester.—At Leighton Buzzard, a woman aged 43 years, cholera (6 hours) and apoplexy.' The cottages where this case occurred are below the public road; the back premises con fined, and drainage bad.—At Bellington, a woman aged 17 years, cholera, 60 hours.' Drainage bad ; the situation adjoins a farmyard. It was stated by informant that the carcase of a calf was lying in a barn in a putrid state." In the Eastern Division the:mortality was below the average in Essex and Suffolk, above the average in Norfolk. Diarrhoea prevailed at Layton in West ham, Wickford, and Rayleigh; in Rochford fever of the remitting and typhoid type prevails. Ipswich suffered from diarrhoea; Lowestoft from scarlatina and English cholera. Diarrhea was fatal in Nor wich and Yarmouth ; scarlatina in Yarmouth, Flagg, Walsingharn, and Docking ; hooping-cough in D ownharn. _ _ The South-Western Division, with the exception of Cornwall, was healthier than is usual. In Amesbury and Salisbury the mortality was high. Scarlatina was prevalent iu Marlborough, Wilts ; typhus in Wareham, where, in the opinion of medical men, it was aggravated by bad drainage. Scarlatina and diarrhoea prevailed in Plymouth and Stoke Damarel. Scarlatina was the chief cause of the high mortality in Cornwall. Small-pox has also been there. dysentery is now prevailing in St. Ives. In the Pen zance sub-district the deaths exceeded the births re gistered ; and sanitary measures are :so grossly ne glected by the inhabitants, that 57 of their children have died of the small-pox, which is still prevailing. In Bath diarrhoea was prevalent " in confined, dirty localities, where there were bad effluvia from nui sances." In the West Midland Division the public health was as good as usual in Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, and Shropshire. One death from cholera occurred in St. Mary Radcliffe, Bristol, and one in St. John the Bap'st, Gloucester. A low fever and scarlatina were fatal in Stroud ; dysentery prevailed in Albrighton, Shiffnal ; and it is stated that the population is de creasieg in Shiffnal " from emigratio n a nd want of employment in the agricultural districts." Small pox has nearly disappeared from Shrewsbury; one person died of cholera in Burslem, where diarrhea prevailed, es it did also in Longton, Darleston, and Dudley. The deaths in Birmingham were 1,237; diareccea was rife, and several cases of cholera were registered. The high rate of mortality in this well placed town proves how much wise and timely sani tary measures are neglected. Coventry is in a still worse condition ; the mortality is higher. In the North-Midland Division the mortality was high in Nottinghamshire; Leicestershire, Lincoln shire, and Derbyshire enjoyed an average degree of health. In the towns of Leicester and Derby, how ever, as well as in Nottingham, the mortality was above the average. Diarrhoea and cholera prevailed in Nottingham and Chesterfield. The North-Western Division constantly suffers more from death than the other divisions of England ; the mortality of the summer has been less than usual. In Manchester the decrease of deaths is considerable. Diarrhces prevailed in many districts. The registrars mention 7 cases of cholera in Liverpool, 2 in Tosteth Park, 2 in Wigan, 7 in Warrington, and 3 in Little Bolton. In Hulme, Chorlton, 40 children and 8 adults died without medical assistance. The registrar of Market-street, Manchester, says : " The improved health, and, it may be added, temper of the people of the district may assuredly be ascribed to the cheapness of provisions, which are not only abundant but also of better quality, because the temptation to adulterate food is not so great." The population is quitting Colne, in Burnley, in search of employment; and increasing in Blackburn consequencein mills. of The t registrar he of it erection and ro e u nla a r n- ge le m .F en y t id o o f cotton says : " The harvest has proved very good, and the la bourirg classes have been fully employed, which, together with the inestimable blessing of cheap food, I presume has been the cause of the healthiness of my district." The registrar of Sedbergh says : " The deaths have, for upwards of two years, been much below the average of former years. lamat a loss to account for it otherwise than that the labour ing population have in general been better employed than in former years, and with the low price of pro visions that class has been able to procure all the ne cessaries of life." 5 to 1 7 to 1 11 to 1 1501 15 to 1 20 to 1 20 to 1 In Yorkshire the mortality has been slightly above the average ordinary summers. Diarrhcea and summer cholera prevailed, with scarlatina, and in some parts influenza. The mortality was higher than is usual in Huddersfield, Leeds, Sheffield, and York. A few cases of cholera, said to be Asiatic, occurred in Sheffield, and diarrhcea was exceedingly prevalent. The guardians acting with praiseworthy promptness, sup plied the poor with medical aid and medicines, which diminished the mortality. The mortality in the Northern Division was above the average. Diarrbsea prevailed in several districts ; scarlatina, small-pox, measles, and dysentery are re ferred to ; and the register of Sedgfield mentions one cas e of cholera. Typhus prevails in Bawcastle, High L c ugtcwn, and has been fatal to two persons. The mortality has been above the average in Mer tb r Tydfil and Pembroke ; but Wales and Mon y mouthy lire generally have been healthy. The regis trar of Llantrisaint, Cardiff, remarks -4; it is a most singular circumstance, that not one death happened within this district within the 15th o f August last and the 11th of September, a space of 27 days , though the population is nearly 11,000. No , n sweet of the population has taken place , and no , s , ° , " it a sle arrangements have been effected." I s isber has given a full and interesting ac. cou nt of the weather. LONDON, TUESOAY EVENING, OCTOBE IRELAND. THE POLICY OF THE DEFENDERS. DUBLIN, MONDAY.—The rumour of Mr. Hawes's retirement frem Parliament NYIIS scarcely two hours old in Dublin before at least a dortn imaginary can didates were put in nomination for the representation of the borough of Kinsale. Of these the Defenders monopolised five-sixths, the balance being divided between the Conservatives and the Government. Should the vacancy actually occur, the contest will possess more than ordinary interest, as it will be the first opportunity afforded to the Defence Association towards carrying out the policy of inflicting upon the Imperial Parliament some seventy or eighty Irish Members pledged to thwart any Administration hostile to the supremacy of Rome. Among the rumoured aspirant!. for senatorial honours the name cf Mr. Fre derick Lucas, of the Tablet, was classed among the probabilities on the Roman side; while on the part of the Protectionists, also as a matter of course, Mr. Butt still maintains his position as first favourite for the race. SPORTING NOTES. No. CXLIX. ODDS AND ENDS FROM NEWMARKET, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Yesterday's racing decided the chances of more than ono nag engaged in to-clal's Handicep. The Han dicq Plate of 501. over the Cambridgeshire Course was a most decisive affair, Mr. Grevillo's three years old Barcelona disposing of Guy Mannering, 7st; Vatieen, Bst 10ih; Retail, ist 121 b; Mokanna, 6st 121 b; Hum phrey, Est, and five others. The race was rather a close one, Barcelona not getting up until the last stride or two, winning by a neck only, V a ti can b e i ng we l l up, and Humphrey a bad fourth. In the 10 Sovs. Sweep stakes, Vanguard, at Bst 121 b, disposed of two more Cambridgeshire candidates in Paquette and Knight of Gwynne, as he won very easily by three lengths. As I expected, Sophistry beat Coticala cleverly. The Criterion Stakes, the principal race of the day, was won by Red Hind, as I predicted it would be should she start, notwithstanding the pe nalty. Lord Exeter's Ambrose pertinaciously sticks to the second place, although this time receiving the ar tistic assistance :of "our Jem ;" the Knight of the Shiro was a bad third, the great gun of Scott's stable, Daniel O'Rourke, together with Stockwell and Bilberry beaten off. I may as well observe that Red Hind made her own running, and won cleverly by a length. In the ]0 Sovs. Sweepstakes that followed, Longinus dis posed of Loadstone, .Newport,Turtle, and Pulcherrima somewhat easily by a length. It is expected that Her nandez will supersede the Ni gger in the race to-day. Falcon and Aphrodite will, perhaps, be added to the list of starters. With regard to this great stake my opinion remains unaltered in every respect, although my Goodwood correspondent writes from Newmarket so say that, if they mean it with Officious, she might show them the w a y t o v i c t ory . B re b a still con tinues in immense force in the betting, after having re ceded for a short period to 6to 1; sto 1 is now the highest figure to be obtained. Newminster, after having advanced to 6to 1, has declined a point. Mountain Deer is steady at 10 to 1, Prime Minister at 14 to 1, Curl at 15, and Candlewick, Ariosto, and Darkie are firm at 20 to 1 each; the Nigger somewhat unsteady at 25 to 1; Hernandez and the Italian firm at the same " Van Tromp" is informed that time is compara tively of but little importance as a criterion to judge a horae'd merits by; I give an instance of this—Sweet heart, who never did anything remarkable, except in the two first races of his career, won the July Stakes in a canter in three seconds less than the Flying Dutchman. It all depends what pace is made, and how the race s run.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. SIONDAY.

LAUNCII OF THE CAPE SCREW STEAM SHIP THE QUEEN OF Tli E SOUTH. A very fine vessel was yest?rday launched from the yard of the eminent builder, Mr. Charles Mare, of Blackwall. Preci se ly a t th ree o ' c l o ck, Pas., the dog shores were knocked away, and the gallant vessel, after receiving at the fair hands of Miss Ford the poetical name of "The Queen of the South," glided most majestically into that element where we trust she is destined to perform some good service. The Queen of the South has been built for the General Screw Steam Navigation Company, and is intended to convey the mails, passengers, and cargo, between this country and the Cape, under the contract which the company have taken. The Queen of the South is a very beautiful model, and reflects high credit upon those who have designed her, and upon the company who have had the spirit to make so noble an addition to our mercantile screw fleet. The dimensions of the Queen of the South are as follow : Feel ... 240 ... 216 ; ... 39 ... 25 Length between perpendiculars ... Length of keel for tonnage ... Breadth for tonnage ... Depth of hold ... ... Burden in tons ... 1,752 36-94ths She has two direct acting engines by Maudslay, Field, and Co., of 300 horse power, and her rig will assimilate as near as possible to that of H.M.S. Daunt less, as now fitted. The Queen of the South has ample cabin accommodatiou for 120 passengers, and is finished in a style equal to any of the crack sailing ships of Messrs. Green, Smith, Wigram, or any other of the large shipowners of the port of London. She will, without loss of time, take her engines on board, and as soon as ready will be placed on the line, where we doubt not she will amply realise all the views that are entertained by the most sanguine supporters of the t crew principle. The Queen of the South has capa city for stowing about a thousand tons of cargo, and independent of her facilities for passengers, she pos sesses a number of large single cabins of ample di mensions, which, with the others, are entirely pre• pared for the reception of passengers, at the sole ex pense of the company, with every regard to as much comfort as can be found in any ship afloat, whether propelled by sails or steam. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, 111oNnAy. The Queen and Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal visited the Countess de Neuilly at Claremont to• day, attended by the Vis countess Canning, Major-General Sir E. Bowater, and Colonel Buckley. Prince Alfred and the remainder of the royal chil dren took their usual pony and walking exercise. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of the North American provinces. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. The Rev. W. W. Champneys, rector of White chapel, has been preferred to the vacant Canonry of St. Paul's. The Rev. John William Clarke, ILA., has been instituted to the Rectory of Catistock, Wiltshire, void by the death of the Rev. R. Broadley, on the presen tation of the trustees of the Rev. Peter Still, deceased. The Lord Bishop of Killaloe has appointed the Rev. Wm. Henry M'Causland, for many years the re spected curate of Birr, to the Prebend of Tulla, vacant by the lamented death of the Rev. Richard Brew. The Lord Bishop of Cork held a confirmation at Christ Church, Cork, on Tuesday, when 600 persons were confirmed, and .51 of his clergy were present. The parish church of Durrington, Wiltshire, which (with tile exception of the tower) has been rebuilt on a larger scale for the better accommodation of the inhabitants, will be consecrated for Divine service on the Ist November next, by the Lord Bishop of Salisbury. THE _BISHOP OF GLOUCESTEU AND BRISTOL. —At Cheltenham, on Thursday, 7[r. Holt, the bishop's registrar, attended and furnised each of the clergy with a copy o f hi s L or d s hip's charge. Before the business of the visitation was over the Rural Dean read a letter from the Bishop, wherein he explained the cause of his unavoidable absence (illness), and stated that in regard to the Horfield est a t e , w hi ch has l ate l y en gaged so large a share of p u bli c attention, i t was h is intention to appropriate one mo i ety deriva b le there from to the augmentation of poor livings throughout the diocese, and the second to the employment of curates in those parishes where the advanced age of the incumbents appeared to render such assistance ne cessary. Upon this latter p art of the proposition, however, the Bishop sought the opini ons and sugges tions of his clergy, and, in order to obtain this, had adopted the course he had done, of writing to the Rural Dean, who, on his part, requested his brother clergymen would consider this matter over, an d com municate to him their vie ws i n t h e course of the afternoon, that he might f orwar d a reply to t h e Bishop as soon as possibl e .—Gl oucester Journal. PAEISH OF ST. ANNE, BLAcitrniAns.--The dispute between the Lord Ch ance ll or and the un i te d parishes of St. Anne, Blackf r i ars , an d St. Andrew -by-the- Wardrobe, respecting the successor to the Right Rev. Dr. Harding, Bishop of Bombay, is likely to be forth with settled. It appears that the Lord Chancellor, who claimed the right of presentation in consequence of the late incumbent being promoted to a bishopric, has some doubt himself whether the law applies to colonial bishoprics the sa me as t o E ng li s h. It has been submitted to his Lord s hi p t h at i t d oes n ot, and he has therefore handed th e case over t o the law officers of the Crown, in whose hands all the papers relating to the matter have been placed, and their decision is expected to be given in the course of the present week. LIMERICK, OCT. 25.—Major-General the Duke of Cambridge is'expected t o arr i ve this day in Dublin, and resume the command of the Dublin district.

The last homeward mail from India, China, &c., was delivered in London on the l7th instant, giving seven clear days for replying t o letters by the immediate outgoing mail. By a paper, printed with the evidence taken before the Select Committee of the House of Commons of last ses sion on steam communication with India, it appears that for nearly two years past the mails have been' delivered at Lon don and Calcutta respectively in time to a:aonrdd,noonnethaet average, from five to ten days at Calcutta, and from six to eight days at London for replying to letters by the first out going mail.

EXECUTION AT GLASGOW,--011 Friday morni ng Archibald Hare suffered death for the murder of Ronald M'Gregor—apparently from ' drunken frenzy or bravado. Although not a doubt existed on the mind of any one as to the guilt of Hare, the duty of the officials was rendered ad ditionally painful from the determination with which he continued to protest his innocence. He was 25 years of age, short, and strong built, and his manner throughout the period of his imprisonment was wonderfully courageous and self-possessed. At a little past 8 o'clock the wretched cul prit ascended the scaffold, and on taking his place on the drop faced the multitude with great firmness. Having sig nified to the chaplain that he was going to address the People, the Rev. Mr. Smith retired a few steps behind, and Hare, raising his voice to its u tmost pitch, in order to be heard by the crowd, spokesearly as follows :—"Fellow-men, e inn e e n never er more leave fu y r ou I am goin g t o di e f ur a crime of which I am innocent , but I pray God to forgive all those who have p ersecuted me. All r this i to s day, bi 3 andbe bed I care found of_ you beware of drain-d r i n king, and beware of Matthew Miller, and t a k e warn ing by me this day to ke ep out of bad company, w. and to put your confide nce in the Lord, for He this nigh t, for I h ave with . favour Christ Jesus our Lord." The rope death H than any given person ill eg ac going e drop fell, was then adjusted by the executioner, the and the wretched man, after a protracted struggle, ceased to live.--G/asgow C ztizen . • , 28, 1851 lAmbrose, Peacock, Adine, Wingenund, Ilex, Richard Primer, Greengage, Barbara Bell, Mountain Flower, Frantic, Gleuluce, Mary Ann, Toga filly, Scarecrow, Ilir3uta, Magnus, Poodle, Merry Bird, Orpheus, Cythe rea filly, My Door colt, Happy Joe, Sophistry by Thcon, Fleur de Lis filly, Figurant: , , Hon/skin, 11.11.11. filly, Caracara, Old Rowl e y, R avensw ing, Cerito, G re y Tommy, Senorita, S t .

Steady to its tactics of producing in quick succes sion a profusion of slight but dashingly Written farces and short burlesques, got up without any pretence to the spectacle, which is made so important a portion of this class of pieces at the larger theatres, the management of the qu6)ladam Strand treated its patrons last night to a couple of novelties—a farce, with the significant title of Circumstantial Evidence, by Morris Barnett, and an act of mythological extravaganza, founded on the adventures of Peleus and Thetis. Both pieces were perfectly successful. WESTERN DRAMATIC AMATEURS. _ . The third series of the private performances of this admirable, corps drtatique took place last evening, at the Ship Theatre - We Miss Kelly's). The pieces selected were Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton's popular comedy of Money, and the two-act drama, Honesty the best Policy. We were not merely delighted, but surprised at the efficient manner in which the per formance of Money was sustained by every individual of the troupe. Old playgoers as we are, we sat it through with unqualified enjoyment, and in so saying there is no flattery, as we never had previously en joyed the pleasure of witnessing the efforts of any of this clever and well-disciplined company. Without making any invidious preference, it would be impos sible not to accord special mention to the delicious impersonation of Graves, whose representative ex cited the repeated laughter and applause of the audi ence. The parts were cast as follows: Lord Glossmore, Mr. Chas. Vere; Sir John Vessey, Mr. Kingdon; Sir Frederick Blount, Mr. Spicer; Stout, Mr. Godfrey; Graves, Mr. G. Harrison; Evelyn, Mr. Edwards; Captain Dudley Smooth, Mr. Emery; Sharp, Mr. Purdy; Old Member, Mr. Wilton. Lady Franklin, Mra. Newbery; Georgina, Miss Seymour; Clara Douglas, Miss Emily Parrey. The house was completely crowded, and the intel lectual treat thoroughly and universally enjoyed. MADAME CELESTE. HER FIRST APPEARANCE AT THE BROAD WAY THEATRE. Last evening Madame Celeste, a lady long and fit , vourably known in this city, made her first appear ance for the last seven years before her old and warm-hearted American friends at the Broadway Theatre. The house presented a magnificent appear ance ; it was filled in every part, and was adorned by a galaxy of fashionable and beautiful women. Amongst the audience there were hundreds of Madame Celeste's earliest patrons and friends—those who saw her first essays as the pantomimist and the danseuse. How were they now greatly gratified to witness her ar tistic and graceful representation of the affecting part of the Indian girl of the valley of the Mississippi ! The Green Bushes was the melo-drama selected for this event. On Madame Celeste's first entrance she was received with the warm welcome of old friends, who had come to express their recollection of her former triumphs, and with the encouraging cheers of strangers to her talents, who had come to witness that genius of which they had heard so much by fame. The Green Bushes is a piece of startling interest, as well as of genuine humour and fun. The scene is alternately laid in Ireland and on the shores of the Mississippi, the time that of the rebellion of 1745, and the incidents are founded on the strange scenes which that unhappy insurrection gave rise to, mingled most artistically with others drawn from the shores of the Mississippi. Madame Celeste's imper sonation of Miami, who falls in love with an exiled rebc:l, was a beautiful and a touching portraiture of the affectionate, but, at the same time, the jealous and revengeful Indian woman. In the natural and pas sionate portions of the character, she not only excited the deepest attention, but the deepest emotion. The quick and sudden promptings of her passion were most exquisitely represented, and came out with all the spirit of an original conception. In such characters as Miami she stands alone. The wild and picturesque attitudes, the energetic eloquence, de voted love, and quick passions of the child of the forest, were each exhibited with grace and skill. She was warmly applauded throughout the drama in every scene. At the conclusion of the drama, Madame Celeste was loudly called for, and having been con ducted before the curtain by the manager, Mr. Barry, she received a due proportion of floral tributes. When the applause subsided a little, she said— " Ladies and Gentlemen,—You cannot conceive the extreme pleasure I feel, my kind, my first friends, in hearing your generous greetings once more ring in my ears. It comes upon me like the memory of happy days.—(lmmense cheers.) I am proud, very proud, ladies and gentlemen, that your flattering judgment of my youthful efforts has been approved of in other coun tries, and in 'uo country has that judgment been so warmly seconded and rewarded as by our elder brethren the British public. The Theatres Royal Adelphi and Haymarket (the former of which I have had the honour of being the successful directress for seven years) have specially won my sincere devotion to their interests, by the steady, firm, and friendly encouragement the ma nager of these popular establishments has given to our American dramatic talent—as the triumphs of Forrest, Charlotte Cushman, Hill, Marble, Hackett, Davenport, and last, though not least, Silsbee, can prove. Mygra titude to you, my gratitude to those friend s o f m y friends is so deeply engraven on my heart, that I can scarcely believe it will die with me. Ladies and gentlemen, once more I thank you, and, with heartfelt gratitude, allow me to bid you good night." This simple but sincere address was delivered with much feeling, and received with great applause.— New York Herald, Oct. 14. ARGYLL ROOMS. A fortnight ago the managers of these agreeable and popular assembly rooms brought their third an nual season to a successful termination, and within a few days afterwards they not only obtained a renewal of their licence, but were highly complimented by the authorities upon the skill and enterprise which had marked their previous career. Encouraged by this substantial appreciation of their past labours, they appear determined to sustain the fame they have won from the public, and in the brief space of time which has elapsed since the closing, the rooms have been re fitted and decorated upon a scale of magnificence that is, perhaps, unequalled, either in this or any other metropolis. This may seem an exaggeration, but those who saw the rooms last night, as they were thrown open for the commencement of the fourth season, will bear us out in the opinion we have just expressed. Some idea may be formed of the magni tude of the principal salle de clause, when we.mention that it is nearly one h u ndr e d an d fift y f ee t long, forty five feet wide, and thirty-five feet high. It is lighted by seven cut-glass chandeliers, and the walls ere painted with designs in flowers. At either end there are immense squares of plate glass framed in gold, and the reflexion of th e d ancers in these adds much to the splendour of the rooms, while the ceiling and galleries display an array of harmonious colouring that both dazzles and enchants the eye. These improvements were suggested and carried out under the immediate direction of Mr. G Bryer, one of the managers, who may well be proud of the result of his labours, for it would be impossible fign finished e e r d i e P s i e a c r t h e to find either in London or Paris of artistic decoration. The seats in a themore lined with green velvet, while those in the body of the room are covered with crimson ; and the toute en semble of the interior is brilliant and imposing. The orchestra, which has been considerably augmented remains, a s b e f ore, in the charge of M. Laurent, jun., , who waves his baton as gracefully as ever. his solo p er f ormers are to be found Boulcourt (cornet Amonzst - a'Piston), Streather (flageolet, A. Wall (claronet), llorton (oboe), Snelling (bassoon), ne ng and many other names well known and appreciated at the two Operas. It is therefore almost needless, to add, that the music is quite as finished as the rooms are beautiful. GLASGONv, OCT. 26.—Cotton—The market for cotton wool has been fiat all the week, and prices may be again quoted '%d. per lb. lower, caused by the reliable news of the promise of an abundant crop in the United States.

EMERING, MONDAY. —The adjournod inquest was resumed this morning, at the house of Mr. Roberta, before the county coroner, Mr. Falkland. Very great excitement was manif es t e d , and a strong feeling pervades the district in favour of the poachers, who in several of the neighbouring villages have formed themselves into associations or clubs for the destruc tion of game, every member of which has to pay a fee upon his enrolment. The substance of the evidence given is as follows The poachers belong to the villages of Sutton-in- Ashfield, Arnold, Hucknall-Torkard, Mansfield, and Builwell, rll stocking-weaving districts. A number of them are captured, but nothing can be decided upon until the result of the inquest is known. One of the witnesses stated that the keepers and watchers amounted to ten men ie all ; that they had no fire-arms with them, with the exception of two pistole. Their only weapons were what they term flails, made of two pieces of wood, fastened together like a threshing-flail. An unusual thing was, that they left their dogs behind them. About ten o'clock, or a little after, on the night of the affray, footsteps were heard on the Bils thorpe-road, in the heart of Sherwood Forest. The poachers halted when about a dozen yards from the keepers, and in the immediate proximity of a heap of large stones. A number of these boulders the poachers h p e l i a n c g ed s i e n t, their pockets, and they then went in the di rection of 13ilsthorpe. The keepers quickly pursued peered to bet on k th e e ep l e o r o s k them, but as silently as possible. A net for game d p e o s a o c ri h e e d r ap peared watchers, and hurled a large stone at them. Witness intimated that it was high time to make a capture of him, and onwards the whole party dashed.

U pon the keepers going go the field, for the purp ose o f secur i ng those that had been knocked down, they were met by Roberts (sine deceased), who complained o f b e i ng hurt. Think ! ing he was seriously hurt, the keepers advised him to go to " the house," and upon their arriving there he was insensible. The poachers had only one dog with them, a bull-terrier, which, however, they did not let loose. Besides Roberts being injured, another keeper, named Charlesworth, was hurt by a boulder. Roberts died on the 17th inst. The poachers were armed with no other weapons except stones, and were not told to surrender previous to their being knocked down with the flails. The man who struck the de• ceased could not be recognised. At the time of our parcel being dispatched the in. vestigation had not terminated, and it is currently believed that the jury will not agree as to their ver•• diet, whether murder or justifiable homicide. It is, therefore, not improbable that another adjournment will take place. EXPLOSION OF A PO WDER MAGAZINE. VIENNA, OCT. I'f.—Every topic of political in terest is thrown completely into the shade by the accounts which arrived last night of a terrible catas trophe near Krems. On Wednesday morning the large powder magazine at Gneixendorf blew up, whether by accident or design is not known. Its contents at the moment were only ten hundred weight of powder, more than eight hundred weight having been removed to Vienna on the previous day. The loss of life has been trifling, owing to the few persons about at the time. The sufferers whose bodies have been found are a major, a lieutenant, and an auditor of artillery, the inspector of the magazine, and the two sentries on duty. A young girl, the daughter of a subordinate labourer, is also missing. The officers of artillery, who met their death in conse quence of the explosion, had only that instant reached the entrance to the magazine in a carriage and pair, having been ordered by the military authorities to inspect and report upon the quantity and condition of the powder in the magazine. Their deaths must have been instantaneous, as the bodies were found completely crushed by the enormous masses of brickwork hurled from the building by the force of the explosion. Strange to say, the carriage horses esoaped entirely unhurt ; the driver, however. is said to have received mortal injuries. It appears that the inspector of the magazine entered the powder rooms alone about an hour before the arrival of the inspecting commission, that he shortly afterwards sent the little girl mentioned above for some wine, and that nothing was seen or heard of him until the ex plosion took place. Several of the letters published in the papers contain hints respecting the deceased inspector, which can be only interpreted into an accusation of peculation. An inquiry is of course taking place. Of the magazine itself not one stone remains standing ; large portions of the brick work, tiles, and beams were hurled to a distance of more than 2,000 yards. The vineyards and fields in the immediate neighbourhood have suffered conside rable damage. Two or three labourers in the fields received severe contusions from the descending ruins. One man will have to lose both his legs in consequence of a double compound fracture. In Gneixendort . not a single window remains whole, and in Krems, which is more than three-quarters of an hour's distance from the magazine, much damage has also been done. The report of the explosion was beard in Vienna, but was considered to emanate from one of the many military reviews which expend powder daily in the neighbour hood of the metropolis. Immediately after the event, the military stationed in Krems was ordered to Gniexendorf to lend assistance, but not one of the sufferers was dug out alive from the ruins. Krems is situated in Upper Austria, on the banks of the Danube, about five-and-thirty English miles from Vienna. JVIIOLESALE CHILD MURDER. NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY.—The greatest excitement pervades this district at the present time in conse quence of the discovery of two more children in the River Trent, a mile and a half from Nottingham yesterday (Su n d a y) a f ternoon. , Ia consequence of a child having been found last week near the spot of the present tragedy, this fact, coupled with the present case, Las created a sensa tion rarely exhibited.
