The s si'es of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,0G0 bales, all; to the trade. The market was steady, and prices w el.() still a shade against tho buyer.—ln Railway Shares a, good business was done at higher prices. The q tmentity of Wheat sold in the markets which re gulate the duties upon foreign grain was last week 82,560 q re., and of Barley 78,239 qrs. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 395. lid. per qr. By pe mission of the Board of Customs a largo quan tity of 1 efuso tea is to be taken to the Nore and there thrown iwerboard, the importers having discovered that it is wet th less than the duty leviable upon it. The r ',darn of winter usually brings with it a revival of old cc raplaints upon admitted defects, and accordingly we are t 0 t suprisei that the frequenters of 'Chabge find the dark .n ess visible of a London afternoon, by no means an:tweet el ator of their business.t4The idea of meetirg earlier in the Royal Exchange has been mooted more than on( to , and some little itnprovemeet has certainly been el fs cted. There is a stricter adheience to the plan of el ,utting cut late corners, aed on Tuesday* and Fridays the dealings in foreign bills of exchange com mence at; an earlier hour than usual. The alteration, however.. could be carried much further with advantage to all pa e Atm, or even the holding of " high 'Change" a quarter a f sin" hour earlier would be apple ciated. At present t h e time is aquarter-pastfour, and the cons( quence is that 0 ie loiterers and late corners are about the precints frequent ly until past five o'clock. This, in turn, occa sloes the- letention of the merchants' clerks to a later hour theca would otherwise be necessary in the cffices, and great; hurry to Ket off the correspondence and save the post, while the principals, being detained late in the evening, deem it of less consequence to come early on the folios rang morning, and the system of retardation is perpetuate d, in the later acceptance of bills, and various other wase s. " High 'Change" at half-past three or quarter to four would probably suit most parties. and riot be too early, perhap3, for the Mincing-lane broker?, who often d a not get through theirpublic sales much before that hour. Even with them, however, there is room for improvema at, and some of their auctions might be com meuced ae . hour earlier, anti yet allow time for the in spection (.f the samples by buyers of ordinarily early habits. le' the system of early hours among the bankers and others is to be fairly carried out, it must extend through tb e solincipal ramifications of business, fur there is now the' greatest difficulty experienced by the collect ing clerks it'd others its getting their cash and cheques paid in. 1 !here are other re'orrns that we could suggest, but those \ Oro nsiss from " their accustomed haunts" several of our influential City men who attend 'Change in :finer weather, or• those who would desire to ste othi Its attend who never come at any season, would act s r•sely in bestirring themselves to secure the accomplish . et :rit of the first great step, an eat her meet ing on 'Ch usge.

The Cc ersmittee of Spanish American Bondholders have receim eel a letter from their agents at Bogert, Messrs. iwles, Wilson, and Co., dated the I lth ult., respecting, the Grenadian new debt, of which the follow ing is an extract : " Yestsee day we had a conversation with the Minister of Finset*, and again urged the propriety of coming to an underact eding as to appointing persons at the ports to receiveperi odically the amounts applicable to the payment of the int crest on the foreign debt. The Minister said that' since his re turn from the country, whither he had gor:t in consequence of ill health, he bad been so occupied that he had not been able to attend to this matter., Orders spare sent some time since to the collector a customs to remit direct the funds to Messrs. Baring, 33rothers. and Co. We finally suggested to the Minister to adopt the plan of making the 1-Bth of imporstution duties payable at the General Treasury in Begot% where indeed 8-10ths of the duties are now paid, and that this should be always payable in cash. Ho replied that he thought the idea good for many reasons; especially as the premium at the coast on gold always costs the Government two to three per cent. moist than in the, capital. That the Goverment documenta admissible as cash, now in circulation, were few, and that he would give the suggestion attention.' " The committee have also received a communication from the same gentlemen, stating that in consequence of the political disturbances in the Republic of the Eauator, they hact not yet dispatched an agent to that country to advocate the claims of the bondholders, but that they were prepared to do so as soon as they ehould learn that the Government was re-established. " From Mr. Lord, the agent of the Venezuelan bond holders, the committee have a letter, dated La Guayra, 24th ult., in which he transmits a copy of a communi cation from her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Caracas, addressed to Senor Lectina, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, urging the Government to adhere scrupulously to the arrangement for appropriating the assigned pro portion of the customs' duties to the purposes of the foreign debt, a part of which, he had been informed, had been otherwise applied in violation of the agreement with the bondholders." The English Stock Market lost a portion of its buoy ancy before the conclusion of business yesterday after noon, in consequence of money sales being effected, and the Bears took advantage likewise of the revived rumour that the Bank of England intend this day to advance their minimum rate of discount. Upon this matter we some days since stated our views, but the further de cline. last Tuesday in the rates of exchange, and the circumstance that money is a little dearer in Lom bard-street, have given strength to the rumour.

We understand that George Crawfurd, Esq• writer, Glasgow, has received the appointment of Justicq Of Peace Clerkship of Lenarlsehire.--Scotsmarts CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (B,lore th.. LORD CHANCELLOR RUSSELL V. THE EAST ANGLIA.N RAILWAY COMPANY. The Man CriaNceeaort gave judgment this MOM. ieg, at some length hi this ctlao, the facts of which we have already given in detail. The case came before his Lordship upon an appeal motion, from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, refusing to commit the:Sheriff of Norfolk and his Under-Sheriff for con tempt. We may again state that the facts of the case were shortly as follows:—The bill was filed on behalf of the plaintiff and other bond creditors of the East Anglian Railway Company, for an account of the sums of money raised -under various Acts of Parliament re lating to the company; and also prayed a declaration of the court to the effect that the bond and mortgage creditors were entitled to be paid their debts according to their several priorities. In accordance with a motion made to that effect, a person of the name of William Seppings was appointed manager and receiver of the company's property, and took possession of the railway and the plant upon it, and until a few months back he rc mined in possession. Before the appointment of the receiver, two creditors of the company sued out execu tiont—ane for ahoiv 1, 1 001 for coals supplied to the railway, and the other for 1401. for coats which had been incurred in the re-investor ant of curtain purchase money in hued; and these executions were placed in the hands of the sheriff of Norfolk, in order that he might levy upon the goods of the company. The sheriff accord ingly seized upon seven first-olass carriages, six second clubs, and six third-uiass ones, together with other pro. party belonging to the rai: way company. The latter accordingly made application to Vice. Chancellor Knight Bruce that he would order the committal of Edward Roger Pratt, the Sheriff of Norfdlk, and of Frederick Brown Bell, the Under-sheriff, for u.cantempt of court in dis posseving the receiver of the company of the goods seized upon. The Vice-Clianoallor refteseg to make the order, and the result was an, appeal to this branch of the court. Sir Fitzroy - Kelly, Mr. Bethell, Mr. Bacon, and Mr. Miller appeared in support of the appeal. Mr. R. Palmer, Mr. Bunney, and Mr. Apsland, of the common law bar, appeared for tbo s heriff of Norfolk; Mr. Rolt and Mr. Toiler for the execution creditors; Mr. Calvert, Mr."Malins, Mr. Martindale, :Mr,Dickenson, Mr. Rogers, and Mr. Baggelly for other parties. It was contended, in oppoa ition to the appeal, and in support of the judgment of the Vice-Chancyllor, that the latter proposed that ,previouis to a decision of the rights of the parties, the amount 1 , nice' by the sheriff ought to be brought . into cow t. Thi is, it was submitted, was a reasonable proposition, and it. was argued, that if the Lord Chancellor agreed in ti to justness of that proppsi don, the appeal should bed liswistied with costs, as the offer to bring in the money I tad been made in the Court below, and had been refused . Another point relied upon in opposition to the appeal rut, that the appointment of a receiver was j improper an d impolitic, and was in direct contraventiotra the Acts if Parliament relating to the railway. It was argued, therefore, that under such cir cumstances, the sheriff corild not be held to b© guilty of contempt of Court in patting the execution in force. At the conclusion of this motion, and after the Lord Chancellor had stated his ita:tention to give judgment on it on this day, Mr. BETHELL mane a net • application for the commit ment of the Sheriff of Node lk for a further contempt of Court, which the Learned Counsel submitted ho had committed on the 9th of tNe present month, and during the heariegof the appeal vibich had just been concluded —in taking in execution certain carriage*, &c., of the East Anglian Railway C Cprnpany, when the carriages formed a train, and were about to start with passengers for Lynn. • Upon both these motions; the LORD CHANCELLOR now gave judgment. His Lcrtlal tin, after going at consider able length into the facts oil' the case, directed that the motion for the committal of the sheriff should stand over to the second day of next t;e em, at the same time order lug him to place the receiver in the same position in which be was when the t.heri ff levied execution.

QUEEN'S BENCIT.-(THIS DAY.) ;Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL and Justices COLERIDGE, and EXILE.) • MUMFREYS V. EROGDEN, SECRETARY OF THE DURHAM COUNTY COAL CO: SIPANY. -JUDGMENT. Lord CAMPBELL, on corn irg into court this morning, delivered judgment in this case. He said this was an action on the case, and the , declaration alleged that the plaintiff was possessed of di "rem closes of arable and pas ture land, yet that the Di where County Coal Company wrongfully, negligently, arid improperly, and contrary to the custom of mining folio wed in that part of the coun try, worked certain coal nth les under and contiguous to the said closes, and due. foie and got certain coals in the said mines so as to endanger the plaintiff's closes. The only material plea was not guilty. The ease came on to be tried before Mr. Justice, 'Coleridge at the last spring assizes for the county. of Durham, and it appeared that the plaintiff was possessed of the closes described in the declaration. and that the- Durham County Coal Come pany wire the lessees, under the Bishop ur - Durham, of the coals and mines under them, !antihero was no other evidence whatever as to the tenure or the title either of the surface or of the minerals . It appeared the company had taken the coals under tie plaintiff's closes without leaving any sufficient pil'la,rs to support the surface, whereby the closes had sunk and, subsided considerably; but supposing the surface raid the minerals had belonged to the same person, that t•peraeion had not been con ducted negligently by the com - pauy. The verdict was entered for the plaintiff for 1101. deimages, with leave to move to enter the verdict for the defendant it the Court should be of opinion that tinder such ,circumstances the action was not tnaintainab le. , 'The case was very ably argued in Easter and Tr inity Term last ; and the case being one of considerable ienportance the Court had taken time to consider its •deeision. For the defendant it was contended that, aft' the special finding of the jury, the plaintiff was not entitled to have his closes supported by the subjacent strata; bat the Court was of opinion that that propositin a could not be supported, and that the company was bout d to leave sufficient props in his mine to support the surfs ice soil. The Court had there fore to consider whether, vol ten the surface of the laud, by a hick was here meant the meit lyieg over the minerals, be longed to one man, and the minerals to another, and, there being no evideece of title to quality the rights of enjoyment, the owner of the minerals might remove them without leaving sup! to acs sufficient to maintain the surface in its natural strsto. The plaintiff claimed no greater degree of euppo rt for his lands than they en joyed since the globe .existed in its present form. Where there were sever el freeholds lying adjacent to each other, the law of btagland had long settled the degree of collateral mug sport which each might claim from the other; and a a2an who had land next adjoin ing his (Lord Camphel i's) land could not .dig his own land so near to his (L 3rd Campbell's) that thereby his (Lord Campbell's) should fall into the pit dug by the other, and for that au action would lie. That doctrine rested on flat ural justice, and was es sential to the peott ction and enjoyment of property on the set face. Where there were separate freeholds, where the surface of the land and the minerals belonged I o different persons, the Court was of opinion that the a wner of the surface, where it was encumbered by build MO and in its uatural state, was entitled to have it supported by the subjacent mi neral strata. For those and other reasons the Court were all agreed that the preseut action was maintain able, and that the rule to enter th e ver di c t f or the de fendant must be discharged. THE QUEEN v. THE REV. CHARLES HARTON..--CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Si r FREDERICK TaEsiGmn sr d he had to show cause against a rule, obta i ned re!ee, ntly by Mr. Hill, for a cri minal information against the Rtv. Charles Barton, who isrector 'A tire county of Lincoln, and one of the me f git ':or the county. The charges on which that applico ,don had been grounded had reference generally to t',4o conduct of that gentleman, whilst osa Paxeby,tes taking, in t. 140 capacity of a magistrate, the dying d da of one Robert Thompson, who met his an affray iu August of the present year, at p Humber. The circumstances were these: ( e :r c ea li th r , n a i 4 u o p i , ' 0 n --A person of the name of Sanderson, who was resident at Barton on the 12th of August last, was in bed, when he heard some person or persons outside his house throwing stones at his window. He arose from his bed, went to his sviudow, and saw two persons engaged in those acts; be remonstrated with them and told them he would call for the police. The persons o u t s id e , how ever, continued their violence, on which he partially dressed himself and was proceeding down stairs, when bis wife recommended him to take a stick with him. H e seas passing his front morn, and he hastily snatched up a poker, and went out to those persons. Some alter cation then took place, and ultimately a person named 999 Robert Thompson, who, it was alleged, but afcewards denied, was one of the pttrssons committing that violence, was struck by Sanderson violently on the head with the, poker. Thompson became insensible, was carried to his house, and died on the 21st day of August. Sanderson was, therefore, immediately apprehended; and en the 13th of August Mr. Barton, who for sixteen or seventeen 3 ears had been in the commission of the peace for the county of Lincoln, was met by a person named Gee, who was clerk to Mr. William Grayburn, the clerk to the magistrates of Barton-upon-Humber, and was told by him of the assault that had been committed. It was stated to Gee, too, that the magistrates who usually acted in that district were from home, and Mr. Barton was requested to take the examination against Sanderson. Mr. Barton agreed to do so, and Sander son being brought before him h' afterwards remanded him to prison moil the 19th of August. Mr. Gee told Mr. Barton, on the 13th of August, that the wounded man Thompson, according to the medical adviser's opinion, was improving, and that he thought it would be possible to have his examination ou the Friday or Saturd,y following. It was ultimately arranged that Mr. Barton should take the extmination of Thump eon at. Barton on Saturday, the 17th, on his (llr. Barton':) way from Saxeby to Hull, whither he was going on that day, and that Mr. Gray burn should meet him at Thutupson's house at Barton for that pur l?: se. Mr. Barton arrived ott the morning of the 19th at Thompson's In.suie . at the time appointtd, but was not so fortunat" as to meet with Mr. Grey burp, the rcaatistrates' el-ek, tied, afkr waititl; Sco nun a considerable time, proceeded on his way to Hull, intending to make a fresh attempt to take the c xamination on his return in the evening, and he loft a messcge with some of Thomp son's domestics, that if Mr. Gray burn called they were to say that Mr. Barton would meet him at Thompson's at a certain time in the evening, on bis return from Hull. Mr. Barton arrived at the time mentioned in the evening, on his way front Hull, at Thompson's house, , where, alt:r waiting some twenty-five minutes, Mr. ' Gray burn made his appearance. Bone angry words then took place between Alr. Barton and Mr. Giaa burn on the eubjsct of the latter having fairer; twice to keep his appointment with Mi. Barton; and this took place in the presence of the dying wan, Thompson. The consequence wee that Thompson's examination was tsker, without. however, having been cautioned by Mr. Bailee, the magistrate, of his approaching death, and of the necessity of his speak ing the truth, and without the usual oath having been administered to him by the magietrates' chili, Mr. Grayburn, both of which were essential to make Thompson's evidence available for the purposes of jus tice. At the inquest on Thompson the coroner refused to receive the declaration of the dying man, because the oath had been omitted by Mr. Grayburn to the de ceased, and because Mr. Barton bad not cautioned him of his approaching death. It was, therefore, contended by Mr. Gray burn, at whese instance this application had been made, that owing to the indecorous add unseemly conduct of Mr. Barton, whilet taking the declaration of the dying man, Thompson, there had been a failure of justice. The Learned Counsel then read the affidavit of Mr. Barton, with the view of proving that en the occa sion in question, when he (Mr. Barton) had agree 4 to take the examination of Thompson on his way from Saxeby to Hull, he was accompanied by two lathe', and that it caused him and them the greatest inconvenience that Mr. Grayhurn had failed twice to keep his appoint ment, end that Le had justly complained of Mr. Gra) burn, but not in the terms or in the manner complained of by that gentleman. It appeared also that Mr. Gray burn attributed the con duct of Mr. Barton on the occasion in question to a private pique, arising out of a transaction which hap pened between them so far back as 25 years ago, This, however, Mr. Barton denied. Ho (sir F. Thesiger) trusted their Lordships, if they thought there was any blame imputable to Mr. Barton iu this transaction, would say that that blame was of thessmallest possible kind; but he was satisfied that, on a careful consideration of the circumstances on both sides, their Lordships could not come to the conclusion that Mr. Barton bad been ac tuated by any corrupt or malicious motives, or had been wilfully guilty of a derelictiou of his duty, as had been allegeu, for the purira of gratifying some private re sentment he had against Grayburn. Mr. M. D. BILL appeared onbehalf of Mr. Grayburn to support the rule. He said the question was whether Mr. Barton had conducted himself in the exercise of his office in such a way . as to give way to a bad passion at a period when, of all others, calmness and impartiality were necessary to the proper fulfilment of his duties. He contended that at the interview in question Mr. Barton commenced the dispute, which was at all events to be. lamented, even if it produced no failure of justice, and which was kept up by the same angry feel jugs with which it had been introduccel. Lord CAMPBELL, in delivering judgment, said he was of opinion that the rukt ought to be discharged. A magistrate was amenable to the criminal law of the country, although ho might not be actuated by a motive cf pecuniary interest, and although be might not mean maliciously to injure any individual. If he gave way to his passion. when he was acting as a magistrate, whereby justice was perverted or obstructed, he, was guilty of a misdemeanour, and this Court would interfere to lay such a case before a jury. He (Lord Campbell) could not think his brother Pettesou granted the lute merely because some ill-temper had been dis played. He must naturally have supposed that facts afforded primii facie an inference that Mr. Barton did. give aay to his bad passion, and that justice had been obstructed ; but, on cause being shown, the Court thought the grounds on which the rule had been granted had teen completely astswered, 'and he (Lord Campbell) thought that Mr. Gray burn had conducted bluebell with great unpropristy in the manner in which the application had teal made to the Court. The other Justices concurred, and the rule was dis aaeged with costs. THE QUEEN V. THE PRINTER AND PUBLISHER OF THE " DAILY NEWS " The SOLICITOR-GENERAL app:ied for a rule to show cause why a criminal ii formation should not issue against the defendants for an alleged libel on three of the managing directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Packet Company. • The COURT refused the rule.

It will be rvcollec:ed that in this action, which was brought by Mr. O'Connor, M.P., to recover damages for a libel, published in the Nottingham Journal, re flecting on his character in connexion with the National Land Scheme, a verdict was returned for the defendant, accompanied by an expression of opinion by the jury that the personal honesty of the plaintiff remained un afected. The main assertion contained in the alleged libel was, that the plaintiff had swindled the working people cf England of 100,0001., and appropriated the money to his own purposes.

NOVEMBER 21, lobo. HAYMA RKET THEATRE. Mr. Macready appeared last evening as Othello, "- for the last time previously to his final representa tion of that character." Mr. Macready's very fine personation of the j-alous Moor fully merited a re pAition of all the eulogies which it has so often re ceived and deserved. His reading of the character from first to last was most impressive and effective. Mr. DaveiTuree Ingo was a very creditable perform anc,-. The gentle Desdernona found a very pretty and pleasing representative in Miss Reynolds ; and Mrs.Warner', especially in the last scene, was excellent. Mr. Micready received, at the close of the play, the usual ovation before the curtain ; a compli ment which was afterwards extended to Mr. Daven prt, Mrs. Warner, and Miss Reynolds. The house was crowded to excess in every part. SADLERS' WELLS THEATRE. The chef d'auvre of John Webster, the Duchess of was revived here last, evening. It has been adapted to the exigereies of the modern stage by Mr. IL 11. Horne, who has exhibited a reverential regard fur h e reage ilieent work of one of our finest old dramatists in the alterations which he Las found it necessary to make in order to adaFt a tragedy, originally pro duced in 1612, to the tastes of an audience of 1850; indeed, he has been almost too reve reotiel, and we could have wished that ho had ' altogether emitted the fifth net (in itself an anti-climax) or gr. atiy altered the dencuenteet, so es to leave avoided the almost burlesque termination of the play, its which all the principal characters kft surviving (tee Duchess, it will be recollected, is murdered in the fourth act) kill one another. The plot of this work is simple to the last,degree, but the author has filled it with horror, men tal and physical, to its extreme complement. The Duchess of Amalfi. iu Italy (corrupted to "Maid "), secretly mar ries her own steward; and her brothers, a prince and a cat dinal, by means of a hired miscreant, deliberately murder her, as a punishment for the stain on the family honour. Prior to her ee%th, however, they visit her with a series of moral tortures. She is made to see a wax figaire, which she takes for the corpse of her husband ; all the inmates of a madhouse are turned loose about her to terrify her with their horrible antics, a funeral dirge is sung over her while she is still living, and at last her windpipe is closed by the fatal cord. Tne scene in which this banquet of horrors is presented is the most renowned in the piece, and here we may cite the comment of Charles Limb, one of the most admiring of Webster's critics. Ile says, " Ail the several parts of the drea, tful apparatus with .-:Bich the Duchess's death is ushered in are not mote remote from the con ceptioiis of ordinary vengeance than the strange cha racter of suffering „winch they seem to bring upon their victim is beyond the imagination of ordinary puets. As they are not like inflictions of this life, so her language seems not of this world. She has lived among horrors till she is become native and endowed unto that element.' She speaks the dialect of despair, her tongue has a smatch of Tartarus and the souls in bale. rr !Int are `Luke's iron crown,' the brazen bull of Pna tarts, Procruve's bed, to the waxen images which coma ttrfeit death, to the wild masque of madmen, the tombmaker, the bellman, the living parson's dirgo, the mortification by degrees? To more a horrur skilfully, to touch a soul to the quiets, to lay upon tear as much as it can hear, to wear end weary a life till it is ready to drop, and hen step in with mortal instruments to take its hit fOrleit—this only a Webster can do. Writers of an inferior genius may `upon horrors' head hollers accumelate,' hut they cannot do this. They tnistahe quantity ter quality, they terrify babes with painted devils,' but they know nut how a soul is capable of hefeg moved; their let rors want dignity, their atfrightmeets are without decorum." The play is well ~put upon 'the stage and is very str.mgly cast ; Miss Wynn personeting the Duchess; Mr. 11-lps Ye - din:lei', end Mr. G. Bennett, Beanie. Ie the earlier scenes with the Steward, M W iss ynn acted the part us a light comedy one, exhibiting quite a spirit of coquetry, and was, as it struck us, in all the earlier scenes of the play, indeed, up to the conclusion of the third act, somewhat deficient in diguit . e. The scone in a hick she parts with her childiee, at the conclusion of the third act, was very finely given, and the whole cf the fourth act vas acted with terrific earnestness. Mr. Phelps was very fine in Ferdieand—we have seldom a' ea the ago idea of remorse more finely depicted; and Mr. G. Ben-- nett, as Bosola, was pwf,ct. Taken as a whole, 8. , 501a was the best acted character of the play. The applause was enthusiastic, and at the conclusion all the principal artistes were celled on, avid there were loud calls for Mr. Horne. t he hou , ,t was crowded. ST. MARTWS HALL. MONTHLY CONCERTS. Mr. Ilullah commenced, last evening, a series of monthly concerts. (to consht of eight) in the large room of the new building in Long-acre, called St. Martin's Hall. The audience was numerous, and decidedly of a less mixed character than is now usually met with at public concerts. It was re markably of the style called " fashionable," a style which was not only evident in the general aspect of the company, but sustained with unvari€d consis tency throughout the whole of the entertainment. Whilst no passage of peculiar beauty was de nied a due recognition, still there was not any break in the refined smoothness of a watch ful, but almost silent criticism, by even one burst of loud (not to speak of enthusiastic) apprcba rion. The performance was in every part perfect, the works selected faultless, the auditory (without the exception of an individual or an instant) satisfied, de lighted, but evenly content ,with that satisfaction :and delight, and utterly thoughtless of any conventional obligation to express refined pleasure in boisterous acclamation. The first part comprised only Beethoven's Mass in C major, of which, after the manner in which it was produced last night, it would be a very pardonable slight, even to Haydn, to pronounce it the finest mass now extant. Indeed, it is difficult to think, on a brief consideration, of any sen 7 tence in the whole range of sacred music so forcibly expressive of faith, awe, and mystery, as the sublime transition in the " Crede" to the important words " Genitum, non factum." The magnificent phrase was magnificently given, and a feeling audi ence manifsted its profound sympathy with an in tensity which could not be expressed by any rude applause. The vocalists Miss Birch, Mrs. Noble, Mr. Lockey, and Mr. Bodda, together with Mr. ilullah's pupil choristers, and the entire orchestra, acquitted themselves in a manner altogether worthy (4' this noble subject, and their cultivated audience. The second part of the concert was Handers powerful L u t somewhat monotonous reduction of Milton's 'Allegro and II Penscroso to choral music, in which was introduced a new vocalist Miss Kouros a deblitarte who promises to rank high in the musical world, and do justice to the reputation of her distinguished father, the late William Henry Kearns, - an orchestral com poser, whose least elaborate works constitute some of the most attractive portions of those nightly con certs which attract the greatest crowds in this most musical season. Mi , .s Kearne's voice is soprano, of fine quality, pre-eminently clear, sweet, and pure, and her execution in a rare degree even and unforced. In the several recitatives and airs allotted to her she sustained to perfection the precision, accuracy, and harmonic truth which characterised the whole per formance, and reflected upon the conductor, Mr. Mullah, the highest possible credit. The success of Miss Kearns was more like that of an established favourite and mistress of song than of an unknown candidate at a musical reception. The other vocal parts were admirably sustained by Miss Birch, Mr. Lockey, and Mr. Bodda, who was honoured with the only encore which interrupted the refined suavity of the evening. COURT CIRCULAR.

Last Monday, at five o'clock in the afternoon, we took a third-cl,ss ticket for Dover, at the office of the South-Eastern Railway, near London bridge; walked, as is our wont, up and down the platform until start ing time, and were then huddled into a kind of cow pee, and dragged like a malefactor through the cutting air. Our sufferings, however, on the occa• sion were more sympathetic than directly physical. We are old campaigners, and came fortified with cur customary munitions of rugs aud Russian fur. But there were two thin-clad chattering petritactions of Frenchmen at our side, and two women crouching behind the shelter of a parasol in the next pen ; we were partakers of their pains, end, it is to be feared, also respondents to their _sweet invocations on behalf of the South-Eastern directors. At twelve o'clock the steamer moved her snoring fine, and pointed to wards Ostend. She pitched drunkenly and we bolted downstairs, stretched ourselves along the scat, with our carpet-bag for a pillow, and in this attitude pre served the equilibrium of our interior. Reached Ostend at five o'clock, and at six the trumpet sounded from the railway platform; engine yelled answer, and away we started. Through Bruges, through Ghent, through Mantles the country all along being as flat as a pancake, until towards evening we approached Liege. Here nature began to give some signs of energy, set her arms a-kiuibo and looked into our face with alter nate smiles and sternness. Some twenty tunnels pierced the hills, and new scenic features greeted our escape from each. The woods were drawn like many coloured scarfs over the shOulders of the hills ; the larch sprung like a tapering mist beside its darker brother, the mountain pine ; grey rock-nobs jetted through the painted leaves, and along the bases of the streams crept and tumbled alternately. Picturesque houses, cottages, castles, and blue wood-smoke must round off the reader's conception of this delightful land. Reached Cologne at nine o'clock, and soon found ourselves swathed in the blankets of the Rhein berg. On Wednesday morning, before day dawn, clouds spread like an umbrella over all the zenith, but a horizontal fringe of clear blue gave promise of a fine day. At six o'clock we loosed from the quay and steamed upwards. Two hours brought us in sight of the white walls of Bonn. To the left rose the ragged summits of the seven mountains, and upon the wildest peak, recoiling against the storm, stood the castle of Drachenfels. Right opposite stood the ruin of Rolandseck, "a noble arch in proud decay," clasping in its hoary arms the cankering atmosphere which ruined it piecemeal. Beauties, geological and psychological, hang about these scenes. Here and there the fluted basalt exhi bibited itself as a solidified outcrop of the central flees. The hills are very singular. Imagine four inches cut from the apex of a sugar loaf; six inches more from the centre ; fancy the latter put aside, and the conical top placed upon the broad base that remains, and you have the general characteristic of the bills about here. The smaller cones appear to have been forced up at a later period from the bowel-furnace underneath, and are encased by the older hills as the skin of certain warts encloses the protruding papilltn. In the rotation of moods we arc geologists and psyschologists in turn. The understanding and the soul possess us alternately ; and it is the habitual fixation of one mood which often gives it its predomi nance. Jean Paul, I doubt not, could have con quered mathematics had he been pushed to it ; and Faraday, I imagine, might have composed a poem had Shakspere, instead of Humphry Davy, operated upon him. Au image sometimes flashes out upon ua in the writings of this man which irradiates his whole subject, and throws a poetic flush into the face of science. Doubtless Faraday finds pleAsure in his permanent mood; and doubtless Alurchieon, with his geologic hammer, would delight to wander along " those banks of Rhine ;" but we must confess an in fidelity to the pursuits of both as the steamer bore us along. Our mood was psychologic; not that we would have it ,o, bat it came—shall we tell whence it came? There is within every human breast a solar system which has not yet found it Newton. Aphe lions and perihelions, attractions and oentri:: fu el divergsnc's, night and day, full moons and eclipse s, which have thus far laillf,al philosophic calculation. We watch from the earth the entrance ,of Jupiter's fourth satellite into the planet's shadow, we see it issue at the other side, creep round him, and again dive into the shade ; and we find that to complete the circle soc.e two-and-forty hours are necessary. Centuries ago it was also two-and-forty hours, and centuries to come it will be the same. One unchangeable law stretches through ages, and Professor Airy converses with the Chaldean sage through their in terpreter, the stars. But, have those inner orbs fixed laws of revolution; or, are not their phenomena me teorological, like the wind blowing where it listeth, and telling not whence it cometh or whither it gceth ? Their motions are certainly irregular, but may they not hearken to a common law, notwithstanding? Some years ago a comet was twisted from its path by the planet Jupiter, and ,sent swinging round the sun again ; after making a • few revolutions, it escaped once more from the thraldom of our system and de parted, God knows where! Here was deviation pro duced by a constant cause. The visible universe is pregnant with one force acting from different centres, and may not the invisible be so too ? That brown rock which thrusts its crystalline forehead through the moss and fern, is a centre of force for me. The Rhine-land, with its ascending forests and vine ter races etched into crags ; those smitten ruins festooned with centennial memories ; the noble river which " foams and flows" beneath them—each and all pos sess their radient forces which act as certainly upon the human soul as magnetism upon the ferric mass. Nor is it these alone which determine my mood just now. Emerson is beside me, and the music of his " Wood Notes" mingles with the silent warb ling of' the hills. Tennyson is also here, and so is Longfellow, with his genial, sunny heart ; and there is still another influence due to a neighbouring mass of bone and muscle which clasps a heart and arches round a brain, both of hopeful calibre. He has dis solved Hyperion, and now pours the fluid mass laden with the perfume of his own feelings into me. In plain words, reader, my young friend with the beaver coat reads to me, and his voice Wends harmo • niously with the tints of beech end hazel, with the ble:)ai of the sky, and the rush of the river. These were the influences which, combined with the projectile force due to our proper individuality, determined the sunny orlolt of our thoughts that day. But, whither has this sentence brought us ? In sooth, face to face with " Robert Owen's first prin ciple." Well, this shall not frighten our ortho doxy into fits. This creed of circumstances, like everything else, partakes of the lights and shadows of a man's moods. It is sometimes unanswerable, and sometimes not worth an answer. Nor is there any inconsistency in this, for our first insight is by no means a constant quantity ; it oscillates between mere dog insight and the insight of a God. In the dog-days circumstances loom upon us like Fata Iller gana on the coast of Naples, but the God's day comes, and the sky is clear once more. F, however, this creed of circumstances were granted, I do not see that we should be much the gainers. Grant that houses are tnade of bricks, the house is not built by the admission : before we can turn it to practical ac count, we must be able to distinguish bricks from buns. In other words, we must understand cir cumstances before we can apply them. How is this knowledge to be attained ? "By ex periment," replies an apostle of this creed. Be, where are your experiments. I know that Harmony Hall, in Hampshire, was built at enor mous cost ; that its erection was hailed as the commencement of God's millennium upon earth ; that even at the present moment letters significant of this are stamped on one of its gables in sili c i c ac id ; b u t, . I know also, that soon became a failure. Either too much or too little circumstance ; or, perhaps, a wrong dose altogether must have been applied here. I Have you any guarantee that your next attempt will be more successful? I merely cite the experiment to show that, plain as your case appears, there are stern difficulties behind it ; f or you wor k w i th mater i a l s o f which you are ignorant ; and, probably, will ever re main so. " Given the circumstances," I have heard you say, "we can predicate the man." Now, given a Jesus Christ, or even a philosopher Fichte, will you oblige me by calculating his effect? Is it not like asking your four year old boy for an investigation of the oscillatory circle? Such men enter as transcendental functions into the social problem, and refuse to be solved by your feeble geometry. But, I doubt, you would , " regulate" Christ's "enthusiasm" and Fichte '° "ideality," and thus convert them into wholesome citizens of your "new moral world." Chronometers in ships have their springs sometimes polarized by a flash of lightning. In such a case, what would you think of a proposal to abolish the e a rth ' s magnetism, so that Dent's 501. patent might still keep time ? But we have spun too long in this funnel of specu lation. Forward, then, under the cannon of Ehren breitstein, and by the walls of Coblentz—through the Lurlei, past Bingen, into Mainz—then by` rail to Frankfort ; forward to that brave little land, Hesse Cassel, at present tha cynosure of political Europe; whence, from the tranquil shadow of an acacia, we have had much pleasure in conducting in thought the foregoing discussion with our respected English reader. THR AUTHORS OF OUR OWN PLEASURES.—We bane received the following from "An Amateur," who, We imagine, must have been a contributor to the defunct An nuals, and other sources of unpaid literature. " Authors may, indeed, be called the authors of their own pleasures, for, after all, it must be confessed that there are few plea sures in this world to he compared to the ectitatic pleasure the author feels in reading one of his own articles in print. According to this, no man can have so many pleasures as the sedulous penny-a-liner, for he sees his articles in print almost every day of his life.—Punch. • Cubitt, Rig., President, i❑ the chair.) On Tuesday the subject of the paper read was " The Ventilation of Collieries, theoretically and practically considered," by Mr. William Price Struve (of Swan sea) M. Inst. C. C. The author commenced by showing that the general principles which ought to govern the ventilation of collieries were— Ist. 'That a current of air through the channels of collieries, at a velocity of five feet per second, was sufficient for most purposes. 2d. That a current exceeding the velocity would only be attained at the expense of leakage and other evils. 33. That in order to obtain the requisite supply of fresh air, the channels of a colliery or mine cught to be enlarged according to the exigency. In the process of hiying out a mine a subdivision occurred by which the workings were apportioned into numerous compartments, which facilitated the system of splitting the current of air, or diverting it into nu merous channels, giving to each compartment a se parate, and, therefore, more effective ventilating force. At the same time the area of the channel was enlarged, and the aggregate length of the air tube shortened, so that it was quite practicable to pass through the workings of a mine 300 cubic ::eet of air per .minute for each man employed. The velocity of the air current in a mine was so ensily effected, that it was important to consider by what accidents, end under what circumstances, any changes took place. It could not be supposed that the excavated space of old workings was completely filled by the " falls" of the roof and " creeps" of the door ; extensive rupture of the stratification occurred, and through this broken ground great leakage must take place. This would seriously affect a long continuous air course, there fore, the way to meet this difficulty was to split, shorten, and enlarge the air channel. The details of two experiments at the Eaglesbush and Ynis David Collieries, where the air was pumped out by Mr. Struve's mine ventilator, showed that a large propor tion of the air was drawn from the old workings, and the " goaf," or broken ground surrounding the col liery, and did not come down the intake shaft, and traverse the actual workings, as it ought to have done. In both these cases, the enlarging and splitting of the air channels, so as to reduce the velocity of the air to about three or four feet per second, would have pro duced most beneficial results. 'ese principles were shown to have been lost sight of in the majority (even of the great collieries, and the power of rarefaction by a furnace, was trusted to for dragging the long column of air over and through innumerable impediments. In some cases this was left to be produced by the increased tempe rature of the zniae, from the candles, and the respira tion of the men, aided by the cooling effect of water trickling down the intake shaft. These scarcely sufficed to produce an average difference between the two shafts cT thirteen degrees in winter, whilst in the summer, and certain states of the atmosphere, there was no difference at all, and. consequently, little or no ventilation. Where rarefaction by heat was used, the temperature in the upcast shaft varied from ninety de grees to one hundred and sixty degrees ; this, how ever advantageous for ventilation, was injurious to the shaft itself, and absolutely dangerous to the men - who had to traverse it. A comparion of the dimensions of the air pages and the vekcities of the currents in numerious col lieries, led to an estimate of the motive power lequirel to produce the results attained in the best ventilated mines, in case of the employment of a steam-engine and air pumps. This power would have varied between 23-horse power and 26-horse poser. The efficiency of furnace ventilation was always increased by the depth of the shafts, especially if they were entirely devoted for the purposes of ventilation, irrespective of the working ef the pit The experiments of Mr. Nicholas Wood, Mr. G. Elliot, lir. 11. Vivian, and other mining engineers, were then quoted to demonstrate the in,ufficiency of the " steam jet 'S as a means of promoting ventilation, showing that it was a most . wasteful application of power, when compared with the steam force employed to work Struve's Aline Ventilator at the Esglcsbush Colliery. This epparntos consisted of two hollow pistons, resembling Urge gasometers, plunging into cisterns of water, and having inlet and outlet valves. The pistons received alternate motion from a small steam-engine of five-horse power, and being filled and emptied at each revolution of the crank, produced a regularity of current and a degree of co pious ventilation hitherto unknown in the mines to which they had been applied. The small cost of their establibhment—only about 1001. for an extensive mine—joined with the little liability to getting out of order, was much in their favour. The paper terminated with copious extracts from the able mining reports of Mr. John Phillips and Mr. Kenyon Blackwell, confirming all the positions assumed by the author. The discussion upon this paper was announced to take place at the next meeting, Tuesday, November 26, until which time the meeting was adjourned.

About three months ago we called attention to a discovery which been made of Metallic veins in the island of Jamaica, in the range of hills abutting on Annotto bay. The original exploration was made under the immediate inspection of a highly-respectable magistrate of the colony,. who during the past summer forwarded specimens to England, which excited very sanguine hopes. A company was sometime ago formed for the purpose of working the mines, and as a preliminary measure a gentleman of high practical knowledge in mining, from Cornwall, was dispatchedi to extend the exploration, and report the result of his inves tigation. Letters have been received from him by the pre sent mail, of a highly-favourable description. After an examination, extending over about six weeks, he reports that the veins of copper are considerably richer than was at first represented, and will exceed the proportion of the most vaivable mines in the island of Cuba. A very rich vein of lead has also been discovered, and as the distance is within ten miles of an eligible point for shipment, and of compara tively easy access, the mines can be worked with a very small amount of capital. It is expected that the ores will be shipped to some extent by the very first opportunity of a ship leaving Annotto-bay. Persons acting for some Ameri can houses have also been exploring the spurs from the Blue Mountain range, so that it is highly probable mining opera tions may become of great consequence in that important colony. IMPORTANT TO RAILWAY TRAVELLERS. , --A case, was decided in the Sberiff's Court, Glasgow, on Thursday, of some interest to the public. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company were summoned for expenses caused to a passenger through delay in the starting of a train on the Fast-day. They argued their von-liability, on the ground of the crush of passengers ; but Sheriff Bell held that such an occurrence should have been foreseen and provided for, and should not have been allowed to interfere with the closing of the doors at the hour, and the prompt starting of the train, and that a delay of three-quarters of an hour im plied mismanagement. He, therefore, decerned for the full claim, with expenses.— Scotsman.
