(THIS DAY.) -Placards are posted all over the building to-day, an nouncing that to-morrow the Great Exhibition will finally close to the public. Those, therefore, who have net interest with the Executive Committee, or who are unacquainted with an exhibitor, must make the most of to-morrow, or they will miss one of the most magnificent spectacles that the world has ever produced. It seems a pity that the Exhibition should close before the end of the month, when it would have been opened exactly six months, but there is now no chance of the present resolution being: changed, and many exhibitors have already begun to make preparations for removing their property. Wednesday next is looked forward to with some amount of anxiety by several gentlemen who have contributed largely to the English department. It is anticipated that on that eventful day the Royal Commissioners will deliver a full report of their stewardship, and perhaps let out some thing as to the future fate of the edifice itself, but it is not probable that there will be anything in the shape of pageantry got up on this interesting occasion, such as was witnessed at the opening. It will no doubt be simply a mere leave-taking between the Commis sioners and the exhibitors, and the docu men t s w hi c h are then to be forthcoming will doubtless form the most attrac tive feature of the meeting. The visitors of to -day were composed chiefly of the middle class; but although the price et admission was half-a-crown, there were, nevertheless, largo batches of the agricultual interest, and a great number of people having the appearance of German emigrants present. There was a good sprinkling, too, of persons attired in the military uniform of various continental states, and these, added to the variety of colours worn by the ladies, gave the tout ensemble of Vice interior a very-brilliant aspect. It was said that two or three members of th© Belgian Go t vertu:neat were amongst the visitors ;if that really were so, they must have been as much struck with the absence of anything like a gaard over the priceless objects ex hibited as with the splendid scene itself; fur at the re emt exhibition of the painting of till nations collected in. Brussels, each department or chamber was closely Watched by detachments from the army when the show was thrown open to the general public.

PRUSSIA. - The Voss Gazette, under date of St. Petersburgb, 28th nit., says :--•`! The Emperor, who left Moscow 'in the night of the 15th inst., arrived on the afternoon -cif the 17th in the fortress of Robruisk, where he 'inspected the Poltawaque regiment of infantry.

A Gong train, conveying back to the former city a part .of the soldiers, officers and privates who had attended .the Coronation Fete in Moscow, came into collision with a train on its way f row St.\Petersburgh. Many :persons were killed, and a still greater number . - wounded, but the exact loss of life had not been pub lished. Some civilians who had obtained permission to go by the military train are among those who have perished. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, OCT. B.—From various causes, es pecially the prorogation of the Legislative Assembly, .a convention has been concluded between our Go vernment and Belgium, that the treaty of the 20th of September s h a ll no t be made public prior t o the: debates which will take place upon it by the Cham-: berg of both kingdom's, nor shall the negotiations 'which preceded the same be yet published.

LECTURE ON , i BLOOMERISM." On Wednesday evening another lecture was de livered on this question of reform in ladies' dresses, at Miss Kelly's Theatre, Deax-street, Soho. The audience was not, as on other evenings, overwhelm ing, but, on the contrary, was rather scant in num ber, and as usual an excess of men was to be ob served. It was a very different scene from the one in Finsbury, some nights ago, where the crowd regularly stormed and carried the doors, show ing that a rise of prices, one shilling instead of threepence, lowers very much the desire of the Bri tish pubiic to listen to the oratory of their American sisterhood on this " rising " question. At the back of the stage, in the centre, was placed a table, bearing besides the conventional water-jug and glasses to re ; fresh the lecturer, a bust, which appeared to be that of her Majesty, having on her head - what we presume was a laurel wreath, but, as far _as _ appearances went, looked more like an old handkerchief tied round her august brow. On each side of the table were a row of chairs, destined for the recoption of the converts of the cause, who were to sit and be stared at by an admiring audience. Half-past eight o'clock came, the lights were turned on, and the ladies entered, dressed in every variety of Bloomer costume, of all ages, and with faces of most portentous gravity, as if they were sacrificing them selves for the good of their country, but still, like heroines, were determined to go through with it. Some wore hats, some wore none; some showed but a small portion of the " pettiletes, pettiloons, pan taloons, or lower garments," all of which names we have the authority of the lecturer herself for assigning to them ; and others showed a fair modicum of the same ; some wore the upper garment made as an ordinary dress, others had a sort of jacket over all • in fact, they had lent themselves out to ac commodate all tastes. We were most struck with the matron of the party, who seemed to suffer most from bashfulness, and was attired in sombre black. Her hat was of brigandish dimensions, and from it depended a few inches of black lace, which almost concealed her face from the inquisitive gaze of the spectators. The fair lec turer seemed struck with her appearance, for she drew pointedly the attention of the audience to her by re marking that she had come forward in the cause POLICE INTELLIGENCE MANSION-HO USE. Thomas Allen was brought before Sir Robert W. Carden charged with having robbed Thomas Young. The prosecutor said—l came to London from New eastle-upon-Tyne in ,company with the prisoner, for the purpose of seeing the Exhibition, and on Tuesday last I left a carpet-bag and a basket, containing wear ing apparel and 9/. in money, at the Punch Coffee house, in Bishopsgate Without, with the landlord. The prisoner was with me at the time, and he and I afterwards went together to a house near Astley's Theatre, and I went into a shop to inquire for a friend, and when I came out the prisoner was gone. Upon my return to the Punch Coffee-house I learnt that my property had been all taken away.; Ellen E. Walker—l live at the Punch Coffee house. Between one and two o'clock on Tuesday the prosecutor and the prisoner came together and had some refreshment, after which they left a carpet-bag and basket, and the prisoner said they would call again for them. About half an hour afterwards the prisoner returned by himself and left in the bar a small bundle, which was deposited along with the bag and basket. It was proved by one of the servants of the house that the prisoner called by himself between seven and eight in the same evening, had some refreshment, and asked for the bag, basket, and bundle, which were ac cordingly given to him. The officer into whose custody the prisoner was given said he had found 91. in money of the descrip tion of that lost by the prosecutor upon him. Sir R. W. CAUDEN directed that very particular inquiry should be made by the police into the case, which had the appearance of being a very cruel robbery. The prisoner was accordingly remanded. GUILDHALL. Freiherr von Forster, describing himself as a Knight of Starkenburg, and adjutant of the Ist Regiment of Prussian Dragoons, was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Wire, charged with stealing three Bank of England notes for 201. each, the pro perty of Mr. Jordan ; and two notes, one for 101. and another for 51., the property of Mr. Prevost, of Ghent, from the York Hotel, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars. Thomas Quarterman said—l am the proprietor of the York Hotel, New Bridge-street. I charge the prisoner, who lodged in my house, with robbing the portmanteaus of two gentlemen residing with me. I don't know any of the circumstances connected with the charge of my own knowledge, as my wife bad the chief management of the hotel. Eliza Quarterman said—l am the wife of the last witness. I remember the prisoner coming to our I hotel on the 19th of September last. He remained with us about eleven days, and left on the 30th of the same month. For the first four days he shared a double-bedded room on the third floor with a friend that came with him, and when his friend left he (prisoner) removed to a single bedded room on the same floor, but in another part of the house. There were other lodgers on the same floor, among whom was a Mr. Prevost occupying the room adjoining the prisoner's. Mr. Prevost complained to me that he had been robbed of a 101. and a 51. note, which had been abstracted from his portmanteau, and shortly afterwards Mr. Jordan, whose room was next to Mr. Prevoet's, also com plained of a similar robbery, and stated that he missed three 201. notes. In consequence of this I gave in formation at the Fleet-street station, and a detective officer was sent to the hotel, and prisoner's luggage was searched. Mr. Jordan discovered his loss on Sunday, the 28th of September, and prisoner left on the Tuesday morning following, having previously paid his bill. Sergeant Weale, No. 2, of the R division, said— From information I received I went to Mr. Quarter man's Hotel on Monday, the 20th of September. I told prisoner of the robbery that bad taken place, and that suspicion had fallen upon him, upon which he con sented that his luggage should be examined, and as sisted in unlocking his boxes and turning out all his wearing apparel, but nothing relative to the charge was discovered. On the following morning, about five o'clock, prisoner called for a cab, and directed the driver to convey him to the Dover Railway station. From further information I received on Monday last, to the effect that one of the missing notes had been stopped at the Bank of England, and traced home to the prisoner, I made inquiries, and found he had made his way to the Adelphi Hotel, kept by Mr. Radley, Liverpool. I then ascertained, by means of the electric telegraph, that prisoner left there by the one o'clock train on the 6th of the present month to come to the Royal Hotel, Blackfriars ; but, on inquiry, I found he had not been there at all. Acting upon further information I went yesterday to Mr. Du bourg's Hotel, in the Haymarket, where I found prisoner's luggage, and accordingly waited there for him until he returned home, about seven o'clock in the evening, when I took him into custody. Mr. Dubourg objected to my removing the luggage, as the prisoner's bill was still unpaid, so I locked up the room and took the prisoner to the Fleet-street sta tion, where I searched him, and found a purse con taining Bs. 6d. in silver and one penny in copper, a pawnbroker's duplicate of an opera-glass, pledged at Mr. Whistler's, in the Strand, and another of a gold watch and Albert chain, pledged with Mr. Edward Byford, of Liverpool, for 71., in the names of Vignatol and Redhammur: also a returned paid cheque for 871., drawn in the name of Dubourg, a gold signet ring, a corkscrew, and two knives. I then went back to Mr. Dubourg's hotel, and searched the pri soner's portmanteau, in the presence of May, the officer, and several other persons. In addition to the wearing apparel I found two netted bead purses, two clasp purses, two small jewel-boxes, a leather bag with clasp, three pocket books, and one sovereign in money. This is the bunch of keys I received from the prisoner. There are more than he had luggage for, and some of them are blanks, while others seem more fitted for picking locks than for any other purpose. Mr. Quarterman here said he had communicated with Mr. Radley by telegraph, and received in answer a letter, which he produced, stating that the prisoner had been staying at the Adelphi Hotel, and that on Sunday last the prisoner entered the apartment of a Mr. Wombwell while that gentleman was at church. Application was made to the Prussian Consul and the detective police, but as the prisoner had paid his bill, and Mr. Wombwell had gone into the country, he set every one at defiance, and refused to open his port manteau on any account. Several tavern bills were found on him, but the heads of them were torn off, so that they afforded no clue to his previous movements, and he was therefore allowed to depart. Daniel May, a detective officer of the City force, said—On receiving information of the robbery at the York Hotel, and the numbers and dates of the missing notes, of Mr. Jordan, I went to the Bank of England and stopped them. On Saturday last I heard that one of the 201. notes had been stopped, and, accord ingly, after some difficulty, succeeded in tracing it to Mr. Quick, of Fenchurch-street, and from him to Mr. Willis, of Armley, near Leeds. I went down to Leeds, and asked Mr. Willis to account for his possession of the stolen note, and that gentleman stated that he was staying at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, on Sunday, September 28, when, about half-past eight o'clock in the morning, a foreigner (answering the description of the prisoner) came in and called for breakfast, for which he tendered a 201. note in payment, and, the waiter having no change, he (Mr. Willis) changed the note for him. He also gave me a description of the notes he gave the prisoner in change, and which have since been presented at the same hotel. The numbers of the two missing 201. notes are 24,774 and 17,798, and both dated July the 9th, 1851. The number of the 101. note is 92,103, and that of the 51., either 66,665 or 72,899, also of the same date. William Henley said—l am a waiter at Anderton's Hotel. I know the prisoner at the bar very well. On Sunday, the 28th of - September, I supplied him with eggs and coffee for breakfast, which he finished in about a quarter of an hour, and then taking out his purse, from which he produced a 201. note, he expressed a desire to pay for what he had had. I opened it to see the amount, but not having sufficient change, I returned it to him, when Mr. Willis, who was sitting at the same table, said, " That's just what I want, to relieve my pocket of this gold." I left Mr. Willis to give prisoner the change, and on my return prisoner paid me 2s. for his breakfast and ed. for my self. I never saw prisoner before. He spoke very good English when he asked for eggs and coffee. May and Weale then applied for a remand of this case, as they were in possession of certain particulars that led them to believe that the prisoner had been carrying on a regular system of depredations of this nature both in the hotels on the Continent and those in this country. His tavern bills, however, showed that he had always appeared in the same name and assumed the same rank. Alderman WIRE said, from the contents of Mr. Radley's letter he considered it highly important that further inquiries should be made. He was very de sirous that the Prussian Embassy should be applied to to ascertain if prisoner really held the rank of adju tant in the Prussian army, and how he came to Eng land. He would remand the case for as long a period as the law would permit him, and he hoped that the officers would exert themselves to have all the wit nesses ready for the next hearing of the case. Remanded for a week. THAMES. Wilhelm Balser, a German, appeared before Mr. Yardley, for the second time, on an adjourned sum mons, charging him with assaulting Catherina Diebiel, a girl aged 16 years, whom he brought over to this country, and was in the practice of beating very frequently, and not allowing her sufficient fond, because she was unable to sell a sufficient quantity of brooms to satisfy the cupidity of her brutal task . : master. 'lhe Rev. Dr. Cappel, the minister of St. George German Church, who was unavoidably absent when the case was before the magistrate on Tuesday, now attended the court. Mr. YARDLEY said it was desirable that the girl should be sent back to Germany as soon as possible, and before he consented not to punish the prisoner he must see that was done and the money was paid. If the prisoner did that his punishment would be merely nominal. To enable him to do justice to the girl he would keep the punishment suspended over his head, and if he did not perform what he promised it would be a very severe one. The prisoner, after some conversation with the Rev. Dr. Cappel, promised to pay over to the rev. gentleman 21.105. for the girl's passage over, and 51., the balance of wages due to her, in a fortnight. Mr. YARDLEY said he would give him a fortnight to raise the money, and ordered him to enter into his own recognizance in the sum of 201. to appear before him again on the 23d inst. The girl said her master had detained a Bible given to her by a German lady. Mr. YARDLEY—That must be restored to the girl at once. The Rev. Dr. Cappel—l beg to express publicly my thanks to your Worship for your kindness and the great attention you have paid to this case. HAMMERSMITH. William Harris was charged with shooting at and seriously wounding Sergeant Earthy. Police. constable Henry Bayley, T 250, stated that on the previous evening, about eight o'clock, he and Sergeant Earthy were returning from East Acton to the Uxbridge-road, down a lane, and when about 300 yards down they saw two men standing close to the hedge with their faces covered with something black. Earthy seized one, the prisoner at the bar, by the collar, and pushed up his mask and said, " What are you at now ?" The prisoner instantly sprang back about a yard, and fired a pistol at Sergeant Earthy, who fell, but they had both seized hold of the prisoner at the moment he fired off the pistol, and witness and the prisoner both fell in the struggle. Earthy then called out that he was shut. The prisoner then got loose, and drew out another pistol, which Earthy seized hold of by the barrel. The prisoner, however, got it away, and presented it at witness's breast and pulled the trigger. The pistol missed fire, and wit ness instantly struck it out of his hand with his stile The prisoner, being disarmed, said he would offer no further resistance. The prisoner's compsmion 'got away. Sergeant Earthy is severely viounded in the thigh. It further appeared that the prisoner send his com panion are the men who attacked a gentleman last week, and tied him to a tree, and rohbEd him of his watch and money, &c., and that they have also committed several other offences about that neigh bourhood. The prisoner, who said nothing, was remanded to Thursday next. SHIP NEWS. GRAVESEND, OCT. 9.—Wind, S.S.E., moderate.

The lecturer herself was by far the best got up of the whole. Her things fitted her, and she wore them as if accustomed to them, which cannot be said of her fair disciples, who really deserve some praise for the courage they displayed in sitting to be stared at. The lady who informed the audience that she was an American and a mother, and had come forward to advocate a change in the fashion of costume on principle, said that although she appeared before them on this subject, she had, previously to coming to England, had no intention of thus appear ing publicly before them. She had come over for a very different mission—as a delegate to the Peace Congress. She was, however, too late for it ; but another lady who had come over for the same reason had not been received as a delegate. She did not know whether in America this would be called acting discourteously or net, but she knew very well that if any one had come from England on a similar mission they would have been perfectly well received. She was also connected with the .A me rican press. Mrs. Bloomer had immortalised herself by bringing out what was generally supposed to be a new costume ; but instead of this it was an old one. It had long been used by the Persians and lonians ; but her (Mrs. Bloomer's) name was now associated with it, and it would be handed down as one of the revo lutions of the world. A lady in the States has been fined 20 dolls. for wearing what she supposed was something of this style of dress, but which was spoken of there as a gentleman's dress. In this matter of dress an amount of interference had been exercised by men that could never have been expected. Why, she had heard of an old woman going to Greenwich Hospital and the porter would not admit her, because she had a man's hat on her head. It was in vain she told him that she had visited the Lady Mayoress in that head dress ; he would not let her in till she took off the hat, and put on an old bonnet instead. She had not come from America as an emissary in this cause, or to try and get up a revolution—(Hear)—but being in London, bad been requested to come forward and ad vocate the wearing of the costume. She mentioned several people of note iu America who had advo cated the change, and then proceeded to describe the dress. It had been said that the dress was not delicate. It was very much the same as that worn by the Swiss. The lower garments they wore were very much the same as those she assumed. Per haps they were not always gathered in at the ankles. But the grace and freedom of motion of the Swiss girls had always been admired.—(Hear, hear.) The Polish dress was much the same. If they were not to dress in this way, why were the Catholic clergy allowed to go about in long robes, so that they could hardly be distinguished from women.—(Cheers and laughter.) The clergy ought to take the lead in every thing that was good. The " pantilette" had always been worn among the female sex in some form or other. Some might think it was not algo gather delicate to talk of these things in public, but as they were speaking of them for the purpose of re form, it might pass. What was moral for a man was also so for a woman, and conversely. If there was any immorality in pantaloons, men ought not to wear them. If it was only a matter of taste, and no immorality could be attached to it, she thought that men ought to leave women to exercise their own judgment, and not to interfere. Was it thought any immorality to appear with bare arms and a low-necked chess? She did not know what would be thought in a London ball-room, as she never was in one; but in America, in her own country, it.would be thought very improper if a girl appeared otherwise. Was it thought indecent for a girl to dance the polka with a man whom she hardly knew ? He might throw his arms round her waist, and she might return the embrace. She really did not think there was much fastidiousness in the world, when such things as these were allowed. After ad vocating the change on the ground that it was a more convenient dress for the lower classes, she said she hoped her using the term " women" so constantly was not at all offensive to them. In fact, in America they were all women—there were no ladies ; there were no lords, and consequently there was no need of ladies ; they were quite content to be called women. The dress would have one re commendation to the elderly, for, according to the accounts given in the papers of their last meeting, it made them look very much younger. All who were described as young misses of 14 were mothers; and she herself, who was called 25 or 26, would be delighted to see such a return of juvenility. The men ought to be glad, for they would have to pay much less for their wives' dresses, as there would not be the soiling and draggling that now took place, and although drapers said that owing to its taking a much less quantity of material there would be a diminution of their trade, she thought the increased number of dresses would pay them. They talked of the barbarity of the Chinese compressing the feet of their daughters, but was it not a much greater violation of principle to compress the waist when full play was required for all the organs of re spiration ? Some lady had suggested that with the new dress the feet would be as much pinched in as the waist was before, in order to make them pretty and small, but she hoped that they would show that they (the ladies) possessed better sense. She then expatiated on her living models as ex amPlsa of the different styles of the dress that might be worn, and drew particular attention to the ma tronly lady, as we have noticed above ; and made a slight digression from her subject to apologize for the treatment received by the great George Thompson in his anti-slave rambles in her country. She then returned to her th e m e , an d re p ea t e d s he had taken up the advoca cy s h h a e d had nat not hee n - of the dress on points of convincedpossessed of of principle. If the correctness the Yankee spent, in of the old mott o , "B e sure h case or you are right, and then go ahead," she would not have appeared before them. She hoped, however, in future, to see more of the wo men of Great Britain, for as yet she had seen more of the men at her two lectures; at the same time she did not say she was not happy to see the men. After strongly urging the dress for the adoption of the English ladies, and giving a history of the public education in America, she concluded , and withdrew with her troopof d . • • disciples, the matron solemnly bringing, up the rear, and ,calling down much laughter irom the audie the lectur nee, who, however, beh ave d th roug h ou t e most decorously. the B er k 3 U nion Banking Company at Newbury that from It was y esterday announced to the customers of that date the business of the concern, including its branches, would be transferred to the London and County Joint-Stock Bank.

I shan't pay you till I find these particulars are correct. I shan't have time to look at them for a long time. Your charges are so exorbitant that you can afford to wait. I neither can nor will pay you a farthing." That valuable class of men to whom is intrusted the agreeable task of collecting debts are familiar with such and similar excuses when it is their ill-fortune to wait on the Micawbers of the metropolis, but it is something new to find an assem bly composed of peers, baronets, and members of Par liament resorting to the shifting tactics of Jeremy Diddler, and exhausting in their different pretexts for non-payment every phase of shabby inconsistency. The original position taken up by the Earl of Lucan and his brother guardians was blunt, downright, un sophisticated Pennsylvanian repudiation. The money had been wasted ; the act was oppressive, and they would not pay. They were the means through which alone the debt could be paid, and they did not intend to give any assistance towards its liquidation. Some what moved, however, by the calm and dignified re proof of the Prime Minister,the modern Lucanians have determined to repudiate repudiation, with the saving clause that they have not the slightest intention of repaying. At a meeting presided over by Lord Clancarty, in the Court-house of Ballinasloe, Lord Lucan moved, in substance, that, though ready to re pay advances where value in public works had been received, and such money expended in relief as could fairly be charged against them, they would not strike rates in the absence of particulars of ,the Government demand. The second resolution, moved by Lord Crofton, recommended an investigation before Parlia ment of the amount which could with justice be de manded with due regard to the interests and circum stances of the country. The third resolution, moved by Colonel Knox Gore, objects to the guardians being made the means of collecting this money at all. If any one wishes to take a lesson in the art of shuffling and paltering with a plain and honest obligation they would find it here. First, the debt is denied altoge ther; then it is admitted that something ought to be paid, that something being just as much as those who have already given a specimen of their fairness by refusing to pay any of it may choose to consider due. Thirdly, Parliament is asked to consider the question of repayment, with a view to the circum stances and interests of the country—that is, at the instance of the Irish landowners, to enter into an inquiry whether they can afford to pay their debts honestly or no, and to apportion the exact amount of dishonesty which is essential to their pecuniary well being. Lastly, they return to their old position, and, after professing their readiness to pay, flatly refuse to put in motion the only machinery provided by law for enforcing payment. " Procrastination is," as Lord Lucan truly observes, " the thief of time ;" and it is therefore very requisite that those who are bent upon thieving something else should be reminded as speedily as possible of their own position and pros pects. The duty cast on the Irish Poor-law Unions of making rates to repay the Government advances is essentially a ministerial one. The claim which they now put forth is to convert that ministerial into a judicial act, and instead of levying the sums ad vanced, to sit in judgment on the method of their ex penditure, and only allow so much as they, the debtors, in the plenitude of their equitable impartiality, shall consider to have been properly expended. This mise rable dodge for obtaining delay without admitting the existence of a debt, and avoiding the infamy while securing the advantages of repudiation, will little avail them. An Act of Parliament cannot receive two constructions for their convenience; it was valid, peremptory, and immediate, so far as it authorised the advancement of the money of the United Kingdom for the subsistence of the miserable peasantry whom the landlords had ground down to starvation. It was of indisputable efficacy when it charged on the con solidated fund one-half of the money so advanced, and it is at least equally cogent when it demands from the Irish unions the repayment of the remainder. It can no more be allowed to them to suspend the operation of an Act of Parliament till they are satisfied of its propriety, than to set aside its provisions altogether. The former is a refusal to obey the law, and the latter is no more. We can imagine no subterfuge more degrading than this bill of particulars trick. What is the principle on which it rests ? That Ireland is bound to pay no more than she has had value re• ceived for in public works. Was it then primarily or mainly for the purpose of making public works in Ireland that this money was advanced, or were not the public works entirely secondary and subsidiary to the main object—the saving, to use Mr. Gregory's words, the . lives _of the people ? Of course, it was well known when the money was voted, that it was impossible to expend it to the best advantage. Long preparation, minute surveys, careful consideration of local circumstances, would have been necessary for this, but inexorable famine would not wait, and the only choice was between giving away bread for nothing, and requiring labour in exchange for it. Thus it unavoidably happened that the labours which ought to have occupied years were crowded into a few months, and that the care and consideration which, under any other circumstances, would have been im perative, were rendered impossible. One resource, in deed, Government believed itself to have in the local knowledge and highminded integrity of the Irish land lords, in whose hands the relief of their starving coun trymen was at first reposed. It was because experi ence showed that this class could not be trusted with the distribution of public money—because the re lief so humanely voted found its way to their children, their tenants, their servants, and their pigs, instead of the starving y--because they recognised every claim, ger and misfortune, and, true o t h ei it u hh n eld charity contributed by t erx eveopc p ta e tt a iho s an a t n , peasantry-.because withheld of others from men4whom they would barely permit to exist by the labour of their hands, that Government was forced to adopt that plan of relief by public works, of whose defects the Irish landlords, whose misconduct called it into action, do well to remind us. We assert deliberat e ly , that if Government were to furnish the bill of particulars, and if that bill should show`that the sums claimed had been expended in digging holes iii the sea-shore and filling them up aga in, the claim of the Government against the unions would he as valid in morality as it is in law. e People, and for the whole of that payment, f i e n d str th ict justice, the land which ought to ma i nta i n them is liable: We are not bound to find for we suppose Mr. Disraeli would call ‘ of man. But those who are o what is due from them claim t half ?

Let us admit, for the sake of argument, that one-half the advance has been thrown away because we did not, amid starving millions, pay sufficient attention to engineering. Is that any reason why the other half should be refused ? But it is idle to argue with men who repudiate their debts in the same breath they admit them; who profess obedience to the law at the moment when they are openly disobeying it, and who deny the benefits they have received in the very same speeches in which they are compelled to admit them. Unless, to use Lord John Russell's words, they can prove that the sums thrown away exceed four millions, they are, so far as any statements of their own can bud them, on their own showing, bound to disburse the remainder. ATTEIVPTED POISONING. BATH, OCT. 9,—The Mayor, F. Dowding, Esq., Allen and W. Hunt, Esqs., were together with F , yesterday engaged in investigating an extraordinary c ase of attempted l a d y poison -.1 poisoning. The prisoner, who gave her name as Elizabeth Slater, was a very respectable-- looking,woman,and she was charged with ad ministeringi to her child, with intent, &c. Upon the application of Mr. Oakley, the chief of police, who stated that a public examination would probably frus trate the ends ofjastic e, the proceedings were strictly private. We are enabled, however, to give the fol lowing particulars :—About two months since the prisoner took furnished lodgings at the house of Mr. Searle, chemist and druggist, Claverton-street, Bath, representing herself to be the wife of Mr. Slater, of Bristol. A few days after she entered the lodgings she was taken ill, and Mr. Lawrence, surgeon, having been sent for, she soon after gave birth to a female child. About this time an elderly gentleman, representing himself to be the husband of the prisoner, visited her at Mr. Searle's, but after remaining a short time again left. After recovering from her confinement, Mrs. Slater made an arrangement with Mrs. Searle for the nursing of her child, and took her departure, but continued to visit it occasionally, generally about once a week. On several occasions she expressed a wish to be alone with the child, and at these times after she had left Mrs. Searle remarked that the infant suffered from diarrhoea and vomiting. Mr. Searle's suspicions were in consequence excited, and he communicated with Mr. Lawrence, the sur geon, who ultimately informed the authorities of the case, which by them was transferred to the care of Police-inspector Norris. From inquiries made by him, and circumstances which came to his knowledge, he on Tuesday apprehended the supposed Mrs. Slater, and on the following morning she was brought, as stated above, befor e the magi s trates, and remanded for further inquiriea.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS, BIRMINGIIAII, OCT. 9.—At Gloucester and Worcester markets on the 4th wheat of all descriptions was about is per qr. higher; the supply of English small, and sale slow. Barley maintained its value. For oats there was a good demand, at a reduction of 6d to is per qr. There was less inquiry for beans. Peas held for a further ad vance of is per qr. During the present week an im provement of is per qr. has taken place in the value of English wheat. Barley more in request. We have a fair consumptive sale for oats at our quotations. The turn on beans is in favour of the seller, and old English are become very scarce. Not so much doing in peas. There was but a moderate supply of English wheat at market to-day, and it sold at an advance of is per qr; but this did not extend to foreign. Fine barley rather dearer, secondary neglected. Oats found buyers at the currency of this day se'nnight. Beaus rather cheaper. Peas fully as dear. DERD y SMITHFIELD MARKET, OCT. 7.—The supply of fat beasts to-day was tolerably good, with a fair de mand for all sorts of animals without any alteration in prices. The number of sheep was about the average, most of which were disposed of. There were but few fat calves offered for sale, which were readily disposed of. The number of fat and store pigs was large. Beef, 40 to 5d ; mutton, 4: 1 2 -d to 5d ; lamb, sd; veal, 5d to 5d per lb; pigs, 7s to 7s 3d per score; rough fat, 38 6d per stone of 141bs; hides, lid to ldd per lb; calf skins, 2d to 30 per lb.

Holders of wheat and barrel flour Awed great firemen, and had the tarn of prices in their favour. Barley and white peas participated in the upward tendency. Th is day I market was moderately well attended. Wheat and dour were more inquired after, and have to be written 3d to 6d dearer per boll or barrel respectively. Barley, oath and oatmeal were in fair demand, and more valuable. Beans and Indian corn without quotable change. EDINBURGH GRAIN MARKET, OCT. B.—We had 0 , large supply of wheat in the market to-day, which WI be attributed to the recent rise in price. Sales were ex cessively dull, and a large quantity left unsold.
