Profligacy appears in France to set at open de fiance the powers of criminal jurisprudence. What is, moreover, yet more lamentable—the sympathies of the populace seem to go, not with the victim of a detestable lust, but with his seducer and his de bauched associates. Such, at least, are the only con clusions to be drawn from the particulars already given in our columns of a recent trial at Tours, be ' fore the Court of Assizes of the department. In every circumstance of that miserable transac tion we can only find reason to regret the impotence of the law when deal ing with scoundrels as unprincipled as the Count FORESTIER DE COLBERT. From the evidence adduced during the examination of the various wit nesses, as well as from the admirable and lucid narra tive delivered by the public prosecutor, it appeared that the accused nobleman had, by a most systematic conspiracy, inveigled into an in trigue a young girl named ISABELLA HAMIL TON, then residing in Tours with her father, an English clergyman. Besides the unfortu nate child entrapped into this wretched offaire du cceur, Mr. HAMILTON was " encumbered" with a wife and " a host of children." One might have imagined, therefore, that this fact, together with the sacred calling of the foreign minister, might have protected him from the carnal machinations of even a rout of the most lax morality. When, moreover, it is considered that the poor girl was yet scarcely fif teen years of age, in all respects innocent as a child, and as inexperienced, nothing but the most loath some abandonment of all principle, nothing but the most implicit obedience paid to a passion inflamed by the most ungovernable concupiscence could induce any man, however depraved in sentiment, to com pass, after the must prolonged and sys tematic endeavours, the destruction of youth ful purity. Nevertheless, it was proved against the accused that be not only carried out his abomi nable project in reference to ISABELLA HAMILTON, in spite of those powerful restrictive considerations, but. that he putsued her with his illicit affections whil e his wife was lying ill of a disease which ultimately brought about her premature dissolution. Having gained the affection of his victim, and embittered her life at home by his insidious arguments, the Count FORESTIER in COLBERT at length induced her to leave Tours, accompanied by her bonne, and, after reaching Paris by the railway, to await the arrival of her paramour. Everything prospered in this miserable arrangement, even to the meeting, at the terminus in the French capital, of the two mis guided females and a friend of the seducer, a man called the Baron DE VIVIER, who appears, in these proceedings, to have acted in the capacity of the merest pander to vicious appetites. Nothing, to our mind, can exceed in prurient licentiousness the tone of the letters in which these two " gallant" debauchees arranged the preliminaries to the seduction of the young girl ISABELLA HAMILTON, and her bonne ADELE GRENDON. Writing to a friend in Paris, the Count FORESTIER DE COLBERT says, " I send you, my dear friend, a young . English girl, aged fifteen, with a pretty little face, clear blue eyes, delicate nose, sen sual mouth, and a slightly prominent chin. She is the daughter of an Irish mi n i s ter, w h o ha s a h os t o f children. She will be accompanied by a little bonne of seventeen, m ith auburn hair, &c., named ADELE"— expatiating upon the physical characteristics of e ac h with the br u t a li ty o f a Colonel CIIARTIRIS. ‘; DO •not," he continues, " make any objection, I have only acted after long deliberation. I beg of you to meet them at the railway station on th e i r garprirveatlt—y miss) erSAD will ELL A (that is the name of my charmi ng h ave a plaid gown, a straw bonnet, and a black woollen cloak ; the servant, an old black bonnet of her mistress. They hale been told you will be there, and will expect to meet you. That they m a y recognise you, h ave a white flower at your button hole, or rather keep a pocket handkerchief constantly to your mouth. I laugh at p the thought of your meeting these oor creatures. Take an apartment for them ; let it be simple, but be coming. The father will no doubt take some mea sures, which it is important to render vain. I shall therefore continue to show myself in the public pro menades, that I may not be suspected ; and then I will relieve you in 3 our guard. My w ife is better. BEETONNEAU is tending her as if she were his own child. She is surrounded with devoted attendants, has a good house, and her physician in ordinary is one of the princes of the science. What can Ido more ? I may venture to give myself this little gra tification. Do not scold me. I tell you that the father is an Englishman and a clergyman—two animals I detest, and who are, as it were, grafted one on the other, expressly to take from me all sorts of remorse." From the Baron DE Vivian, the vivacious seducer of an innocent child of fifteen receives a response couched in LON D ON, the same flippant terms and volatile language. Among his other " amiable" pieces of merriment, for example, the Baron observes, " I bad some thought of moralieing with sou, but what's the use! The wine is drawn, and you must drink it !" Unfor tunately: " the wine was drawn," for the victim was already established in apartments in the French metropolis, but fortunately the guilt of the seducer was not consummated, and this in consequence of the vigilance and sagacity, of the father of ISABELLA HAMILTON. Suspecting the cause of his child's sudden abduction, the English clergy m:.n applied at once to the Procureur de la Republique, and in compliance with the prompt directions of that official, the Count FORESTIER DE COUBERT was arrested while still tarrying at Tours, awaiting near the sick bed of bis wife, the signal for his appearance in the capital. Thereupon the child .and her bonne were sent back to Tours, having happily escaped the polluting presence of the prcfligate, but dantaged, if not altogether ruined, in reputation. As the trial approached, of course offers of a compromise were made by the intimidated de fendant, and, his wife having just expired, he even proposed to marry the young girl ISABELLA as the most effectual means of compensation. While, nevertheless, indignantly rejecting the suggestion of such an alliance, the Reverend Mr. HAMILTON entreated the Procureur to allow the matter to be hushed up without being publicly blazoned in the Court of Assizes of the department. To this entreaty, however, that functinary turned a deaf ear, and the result of all is that the trial has ineffectually bruited about the name of the unfortunate victim, and has led at the .same time to the acquittal of her licentious inamarato. Altogether it is impossible to conceive any transaction more lamentable than this abortive effort to secure the punishment of a most un mitigated scoundrel. So far, indeed, from having received the punishment which his offences against the laws of society, against the laws of religion, and, considering the extreme youthfulness and innocence of his victim, against the very laws of humanity, the Count FORESTIER DE COUBERT has been consoled for the inconvenience of his position by the plaudits of the mob in a court of justice. The whole proceedings afford a new and melancholy illustration of the rottenness of certain portions of the social fabric and of the utter inadequacy of the law as at present constituted to deal with criminals whose offence is nothing less than the heinous offence of seduction. The vacancy on the judicial bench in Ireland, oc casioned by the lamented death of the late Chief- Justice DOHERTY, has given origin to numerous conjectures and a wide field of speculation as to the course likely to be adopted by the Executive in re ference thereto. Some insist that the recommendation of the Committee on Official Salaries for the reduction of the number of Irish judges from twelve to nine, leaving three only in each court, will be carried out, and that no appointment whatsoever will be made to ti.e vacant office:This assertion is as vehemently de nied in other quarters, where it is justly argued that nothing less than an Act of Parliament would be sufficient to warrant a diminution in the judicial body, a diminution which would not only largely increase the labours of the other judge=, but would render necessary an alteration of the circuits, and a variety of complicated arrangements which would require the Legislative sanction before they could-be carried into practical operation. Indeed we do not see how it could be effected if the English and Irish bars are to remain separate and distinct bodies, and the establishments at the Four Courts, Dublin, are to be continued in existence. The new Chief Justice may be subjected to any changes in the amount of salary which may ultimately be decided on by the Imperial Parliament, upon due consideration of the report of the Committee above alluded to, a condition si milar to that upon which Sir JOHN JERVIS accepted office in this country ; but we cannot see how the Government can legally or constitutionally, in justice either to the remaining judges, or to the suitors of the courts of common law in Ireland, per mit the office to continue vacant for so long a period as must necessarily elapse before the ultimate deci sion of Parliament can be obtained on the ques tion. If it should be attempted it will aftlard conclusive evidence that Government has determined on the immediate amalgamation of the bars, and the removal of the Irish courts from the banks of the Liffey to that of the Thames—from the Inns quay to Westminster;' and, as Lord JOHN Bes- SELL distinctly and positively asserted at the close of the last session that no such step was even contem plated at, present, it may, therefore, reasonably be anticipated that the office will be filled up whenever the necessary arrangements can be completed. Assuming, then, that the appointment will be made—a matter about which we do not en tertain the slightest doubt—the next question will be, who is the fortunate individual to be selected for the high and distinguished position ? And on this point an equal diversity of opinion ap pears to prevail. Some who were offended by the zeal and energy, ability and efficiency, with which Mr. MONAHAN discharged the arduous duties of his situation during the state trials, desire that the usual etiquette of the profession should be disregarded, and that an insult should be offered to the entire bar of Ireland in his person. It is, therefore, sug gested that one of the puisne judges should be promoted to the vacant chiefdom, and that Mr. MONAHAN should be well contented with the in ferior, but not less honourable position, thereby vacated. Although we fully recognise the important services of PERRIN, of RICHARDS, of BALL, and many others, indeed of every member of that bench, who, as a judicial body, are second to none the world ever saw, we cannot for a moment imagine that the para mount claims of the Attorney-General can be slighted or despised. Mr. MONAHAN has bsen the first law officer of the Crown during a period of no ordinary excitement, and under circumstances of no or dinary difficulty. During his tenure of office the poor-law was brought into operation throughout the entire country. The repeated failures of the potato crop, under the mysterious visits tion by which PROVIDENCE was pleased to afflict the nation, occasioned the deepest suffering and distress ; and the year of revolutions, when so many dynasties were overturned, and so many popular commotions took place on the continent of Europe, inflamed the passions of the " Young Inlanders" to the highest pitch, and led to the abortive attempt at in surrection, which terminated in the banish ment of the honest but mistaken enthu siasts, who acted as leaders in the movement. During all that time the conduct of Mr. bIONAHAN was beyond all praise, and to his merciful and tem perate, but at the same time:firm and unflinching, ad ministration of the extensive powers committed to his hands the happy termination a the " troublesome tines," the crushing of the spirit of disaffection and turbulence, and the restoration of order and tran quillity, may partly be attributed. He ably seconded and carried out the statesmanlike views of the Vice roy, the best, as he will be the last, of the Lords- Lieutenant of Ireland. We cannot believe that such a man could be passed over, contrary to the usual course of precedent and to the ordinary rules of judi cial appointments. If, then, Mr. MONAHAN be the new Chief Justice , the present Solicitor-General, Mr. HATCHELL, will as a matter of course become Attorney-General, and there would be a selection from a host of well. qualified and competent candidates for the office of Solicitor-General. When such men are to be found as BERWICK, O'BRIEN, CHRISTIAN, HUGHES, both the FIT ZQERALDS , K EOGH, anda of hostothers whose woo support th e G overnmen t—t o name is "l eg i on ," say nothing NV i o u f eE G S R ID EE E I : and E'iiEN :th%r members of the B REWSTER, Burr, N Conservative bar, who could scar; ely be ex= pected to accept or hold office under the Whig Ministry—there can 'b.! no difficulty in finding a fit and proper person to discharge the professional duties of the office. But there are other considera tions, which cannot be omitted from the calculation, which must be taken into account in making the new appointment. It has long been a sulject of complaint that there was no Irish law officer of the Crown hav ing a seat in the House of Commons, to lithe charge of the various law reforms relating to Ireland. Mr. MONAHAN sat for; Galway but for a few months; while Mr. HATCH ELL was only returned for Windsor towards the latter end of last session. It is also asserted, with what foundation we know not, that the Honourable and Learned Gentleman is de sirous rather of practising in Ireland than continuing in the Hou:e of Commons. The seat for Windsor, too, would be an object to the Government, wEo have many able and efficient auxiliaries still excluded from the Legislature, one of whom at least could be brought in, but for the necessity of making a place for an Irish law officer. Under these circumstances, the command of a seat must exercise a material effect in influencing the choice. If this be so the Hon. and Learned Gentlemen the Member for Athlone can have no competitor, possessing equal advantages in this respect, while he is midi securdas so far as his legal attainments are concerned. During three sessions of Parliament he has acquired consi derable legislatorial experience, and gained for himself the character of being one of the most Skilful debaters on either side of the House. He particularly distinguished himself iu the discussions on the contemplated legal reforms; and his felicitous and harmonious descrip tion of a suit in Chancery, and the high com pliments thereby elicited from the legal Members, will not speedily be forgotten in St. Stephen's. His seat is also a certainty. The magnificent entertainment which he recently received from his constituents, where men of all parties, Protestant and Catholic, Wbig and Tory, Conservative and Radical, steadfast friends and quondam opponents, who now rank them selves among his most enthusiastic advocates, vied in eager emulation to do honour to their Representative, clearly proved that he had nothing to fear from an appeal to the suffrages of the men of Athlone. In addition to these, the just and liberal sentiments on the great questions of free-trade, extension of the franchise, and the foreign policy of the Government, so clearly and ably put forward, entitle him to the approbation of the Liberal party throughout the United Kingdom, who would hail his appointment as Solicitor-General of Ireland as a great accession of strength to the Ministry and an earnest of the enlarged and comprehensive legislation with respect to Ireland, and the United Kingdom generelly, which may reasonably be anticipated at their harAls. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur contains the following warning to journalists on the suiject of signing their respective productions in accordance with the provisions of the new law cn the press : " The provisions of the law of 16th-23e1 July, 1850, are differently interpreted by the journals. Some of them put at the bottom of a first article the signature of the author, and omit to put it after the succeeding arti cles. Others indicate at the head of the first column the names and initials of their principal editors, and content themselves with putting the initials at the bottom of each article. Others place after the articles a signature, preceded by the words ' Pour le comi 6 de redaction.' None of these ;plans fulfii'the prescriptions of Arts. 3 and 4of the la-.v above quoted, the terms of which we here repeat:—' Art. 3. Every article of political, philo sophical, or religious discussion, inserted in a journal, must be signed by ita author.'—' Art. 4. 'I he pro visiens of the preceding article shi,ll be applicable to all the I rticles, whatever may be their extent, publish el in political or non political journals, in which the nets and opinions of citizens and of indivi dual or collective intern: t+, shall be discussed.' The execution of the law must be serious, complete, and unifolm. In making use of the words 'every article,' the Legislature did not mean to say that the first article should be signed, end not the following ones. In using the words must be signed,' it demands a signature at the bottom of the article, and not initials, the meaning f which is to he sought for in another part of the journal. In exprissing 'by its author,' it wished to impose on the author or on the authors the obligation of making themselves known, and answering indivi dually for their work; it could not understand that that individuality could disappear behind the signature of the responsible editor, or the delegated agent of a co ral 6de redaction.' A persistence in a deviation from this interpretation of the law will expose the journals to legal preceetiings." The Journal des Bebats again appears without any political article • but in the place usually occupied by the Premier Paris we find the following announce ment printed in large type : " The law which exacts the signature of articles of journals is only obligatory this day (Wednesday). We have neither desired to anticipate or postpone its_execu dun. "We do not feel that we need on this occasion make any declaration of principles. We do not date fr.An the 25. h September, .1850; the new law does not in any respect cause any change in our opinions, and will not wake us change our conduct. We ate to-day what we were yesterday. We remain simply the Journ'il des Debuts. " Le Reciaeteur en Chief, Gerant Responsible, " ARMAND BERTIN." The other journals obey the law, and furnish some new names to add to the list of journalists which we published yesterday. The Premier Paris of the National is signed by M. E. CAILuS ; the Constitu tionnel publishes articles signed respectively by MM. JULES BURAT, CUCHEVAL-CLARIONY, and CHARLES RADON ; the Pouvoir has an article from the pen of MoNToUR ; the Ordre one from that of M. JULES MARTINET ; the Presse one signed by M. DE LA GUN RONNIERE ; the Patrie articles signed by M. Faux SOLAR and M. REMY ; and the Opinion Publique articles by M. DE CIRCOURT and M. SALA. The supposed Bonapartist manifesto which appeared in the semi-official Moniteur du Soir of Monday evening, and which had been copied by that journal from the Bulletin de Paris, a lithographed news letter, which is said to h ave re l a ti ons w ith th e authorities, is disavowed by the Pouvoir. That journal says:— " Though rendering full justice to the upright inten lions of the writers of the Bulletin de Paris, we regret that they should have thought fit to announce, in a form and with a character which may be believed efficial, the ulterior intentions of the chi e f o f t h e state . A part f rom the little propriety there is in making such confidences elsewhere than in the yoniteur, and without the partici pstic.n of the Council of Ministers, we believe that we can assure our readers that the news given by the Bul- Ittin de Paris have no sort of authenticity, and that the chief of the state, who knows how to speak to the coun try when he thinks itrigLt to do to, has not charged a ny one to speak in his name on such very grave goes "nmust say, that as regards the journals whies. S which have cried we cri edout against the idea of consulting Vie people on the form and nature of the government, it appears strange to us that such scruples should have been produced in papers which aff e ct on all occasions to entertain the most profound resp3ct for the will of the country." . The Pattie, which also copied the manifesto from the Bulletin, has the following 66 We yesterday . pall7shed an article from the Bulletin de Paris, because it was in favour o f a r e vision of the Constitution, and it is to that which, in our opinion, the .e ff orts o f- t h e party of order should unanimously tend. The Moniteur du Soir also copied the same article. This coincidence has been interpreted by some journalf, and particularly by the Arserubiee Nationale, as giving to the refitctions of the Bulletin a semi. official character. The editor of the ilverliblie Nationale may obtain complete information en this subject from the editor of the Bulle tin, M. LatouriDumoultn. He will learn from him that the article in question was nothing more than his own inspiration, and that it was only in that character that it was communicated to us." O►l this disavowal the A ssemblie Natianale remarks as follows " We are ready to acknowl2dge, as the editor of the Pairie desires, that the manifesto published by the Bul letin dc Paris is not the work of the Elye6), and that the responsibility must fsil , on the imprudent writers who impute such ideas and such projects to the President. But there should at least, when the Mon:leur du Soir ep. pears designedly to give an official place to such docu ments, be a posit've disavowal on the following day. It would be too commodious to profit by these provocations in favouring their publicity, and then expec leg public pinion to be satisfied with indirect disavowals." a The offir.ial journals give the following account of the review at Versaiiles:— " The review by the President of the Republic, which had been announced some days since, took place yester day. At ten o'clock Prince Louis Napoleon arriveel at Versailles in an open carriage, accompanied lei the Minister of War, General Ckangarnier, and Genteel Re gnier, his new aide de-camp, and drove direct -to the house of the Marquis of Nernianby, from whom he bad accepted an invitation to breakfast. The Nepau lose Ambassador, and the two English officers who accompany him, were also present. After breakfast the President cf the Republic mounted his horse and pro• ceeded to the field, where he arrived at half-past eleven. amidst loud cries of Vive Napole Viva la Pi Liderel"rhe esenieg before the camp, which had been formed by a company of engineers, to the right of the ground near St. Cyr, was occupied by the 4th, 56th, and 57th regiments of the line. The rest of the troop;, composed of the 62d of the line, the Ist and 3.1 Cerabineers, the Ist ,Lancers, 2d Chasteurs, and two batteries of artillery, took up their positions in the morning. On the arrival of the President the in fantry occupied the first line throughout the whole lei gth of the ground ; the cavalry and artillery formed the second. The Prince passed successively along the front of the troops, a nd immediately afeerwards the ma t ceuvres com mence d. A sharp fire of musketry, sup ported by the art ill er y, was opened in the direction of the camp, The cavalry, commanded by General Grouchy, male several charges, to support the operations of the in ( aritrY, who afterwaiels retreated, covered by a fire cf the light tro p 3. The maeceuvres concluded by charges made by hattalion3 fermed into squares. These evolu t "I'' Were executed with a pi ecisien Ltd crszniNe wlifeh merited tin) highest praise. The first brigade of in faedry was commanded by General Cavaignae, and the around by General Frarieei.e. Af.er the intim:vies, refreshments were efferrd by the President to : the offi cers and soldiers. The former partook of cold fowls-and champagne. Twenty ca:ks of wine were placed at the deposal of the solditv. The refreshments were served THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1850. on the borders of the forest of Clif vreme. After the so% diers had rested themselves for an hour, the filing-off commenced, and continued until four o'clock. An in manse concourse of persons accompanied the President, I and he was greeted by them with the loudest and most unanimous acclamations. Notwithstanding the crowd, no accident of any kind occurred, with the exception of one, which was nearly proving fatal to M. Horace Vernet, Colonel cf the National Gu7rd of Versailles. This celebrated painter was mounted on a very restive horse, which fell with him. The. President then offered him one of his horses, which he mounted, but the animal becoming frightened at the firing, reared, and fell with his rider. The President hastened to wards M. Horace Vernet, who was taken up in a sense less state, and placed in a carriage to be conveyed home, but in a few moments afterwards, we are happy to state, he had again recovered, and was seen on horseback by the side of the Prince." Some of these journals publish the following strange story : " Some men employed in the forest of Fontainebleau two days back thought they smelt an odour of burnt wood not far off, andiin:searching about found that some trees had caught fire, apparently from a quantity cf branches end leaves set fire to by a man, who, when they fist discovered him, was sitting very tranquilly on a large stone warming himself by the fire which he had made. On seeing them, he rose up and advancing to wards them, said with great politeness, Welcome, brave knights. How kis.d of you to visit in his solitude the hermit of the forest.' The men, after having ex tinguished the fire, took the stranger into custody, and carried him before the authorities of Fontainebleau. He appeared to be affected in his mind, and would only give the information that he was an English physician. His dress and manners seem to indicate that he belongs to a respectable class of society. He has been tempo rarily placed in the hospice of the town." PARIS BOURSE, SEPT. 25,—Latest Prices -live per Cents., 92f. 85c. ; Three per Cents , 57f. 65c. ; Bank Actions 2,295 f.

The Legislative Assembly of Frankfort, on the 20th, deeided, by 44 votes to 41, that it would not take as the basis of its deliberations the draft of the Constitution presented by the Senate, and immedi ately commenced the discussion of the constitution prepared by the mixed Committee. It adopted during the sitting the first sixteen paragraphs. According to one of them, " the free state of Frankfort" becomes " the free city of Frankfort," the article declaring that " the nobility as a class is abolished," was struck out, end the provisions of the fundamental rights relative to the press have been modified. It has been decided that the journals are to furnish caution money. The Augsburg Gazette has the following from Frankfort :—" The first step of the Elector of lIEssE and of his Ministry on their arrival here was to place in the hands of the Diet all the differences which agi tate Hesse, and to declare their incapacity to arrange them of themselves. Thu Diet has not, however, en tirely accepted this mark of confidence, but has de manded positive propositions. That has been done, and the Diet after discussing them has resolved to give the ELECTOR assistance in virtue of articles 57 and 58 of the final Act of Vienna, arid of the resolu tion taken by the Diet in its 221 sitting in 1832. It is not known in what manner the assistance is to be given." A letter from Cassel, of Sept. 20, states that the Auditor-General has ordered the two first points of the accusation against General BLUER (violation of the Constitution and high treason), which he had first rejected, to be proceeded with. It is said that Austria has proposed to Prussia a joint intervention injlesse-Cassel. It is reported that the Grand Duke MECKLEN.• BURGIPSCIINVERIN intends to abdicate in favour of his younger brother. Accounts from Stuttgsrdt of the 21st state, that the Committee of the States of lVirtemburgh have entered into a correspondence with the Minister of the Interior, relative to the unconstitutional proceed ings against the press, and has demanded their ces sation. The elections commenced yesterday. BEL GI UM. BRUSSELS, SHPT. 24.—The fetes in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the independence of Belgium commenced on the 23d. The batteries fired a round of 21 guns. At ten o'clock there was high mass at St. Gudule, in memory of those who fell. At noon a public sitting of the Academy, and in the evening a grand military promenade round the park. All the museumF, the botanical gardens, &c., are open to the public during the three days' files, and the public square brilliantly illuminated every evening. The KING, the two PrinceP, and the Princess CHARLOTTE arrived thin afternoon at two o'clock. The royal party had quitted Ostend at ten in the morning. Her MAJESTY was unable to accompany the august party. Dr. CHORNEL had again seen the royal patient.— Journal du Comore rce d' Anvers, Sept. 25. lONIAN ISLANDS. Letters from Corfu of the 11th mention a dispatch addressed by Sir G. WARD, Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles, to M. AMASCEIINO, Vice-Presi deet of the Senate, in which he states that the muni cipality and the medical commission have represented to him the necessity of taking stringent precautions against the invasion of the cholera, hut that the mea sures they recommend are of the molt extraordinary character, being as follows :—That a quarantine of twenty-five days be laid on all arrivals from Trieste or Malta; that all vessels from Cephalonia be rigo rously prevented from approaching Corfu ; and that some uninhabited rock be assigned to those Cephaloni ans who desire to quit their native island during the cholera. The Lord High Commissioner then severely comments on the injudiciousness of such mea sures, observing, among other things, that, by the quarantine of 25 days la - d upon arrivals from Trieste, upwards of 100 men, now gaining a livelihood at Manduchio by the Austrian Lloyd's steamers, would be thrown out of employment ; that thousands would suffer the same fate from the suspension of commerce, and that the price of provisions, mostly received from foreign parts, would rise considerably, while the means of procuring them would diminish in propor tion. Nevertheless, in order to yield a certain mea sure to public opinion, the Lord 'High Commissioner consents to lay a quarantine of twenty days upon arrivals from Cephalonia, and of sixteen upon those from Malta, while, as far as Trieste is concerned, he will wait for official information on the sanitary conditions of Vienna from the British Consul-Ge neral there. Lord John Russell, at the close of his visit to her Majesty, at Balmoral, proceeds to Minto-house, near Hawick, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Minto, where Lady John Russell and family have already arrived. After a short stay at Minto•house, the Premier and her Ladyship and family will go to Richmond-park for the winter. Sir George Grey will remain with the Queen unti: the return of the Court to London. LAUNCH IN THE CLYDE.—Yesterday afternoon, shortly after two o'clock, one of the finest vessels ever built on the Clyde was launched from the building-yard of Messrs. Tod and M'Gregor, at Partick. Her engines are of 460 horse-power, and ber burden 1,200 tons. She has been built for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, and has been appropriately named the Singapore. Miss Tod, daughter of the senior member of the firm, by whom the vessel was erected, gave the designation to the vessel. In a short time a companion to the Singapore, and to be named the Ganges, will be launched by the same parties. The day was beautiful, and as usual a large crowd of spectators cheered the steamer into her future element.— Scotsman of Wednesday. LICENSED LIGHTEEMEN.—The Commi,kioners of Customs have determined that all craft used in the tranship ment of foreign goods, within the port of London, must, on and after the Ist of November next, be provided with the necessary accommodation to protect the tide-waiters from the inclemency of the weather. This step has been found absolutely necessary, many of the men having been frost bitten, and, in one or two instances, during severe weather, fr.( zen to death. SAVINGS•I3ANKS.—Another blue-book, printed by order of the House of Commons, was yesterday published. It contains the report of the Committee (given before), and the evidence before them on savings-banks. The Committce make some suggestiors, which will no doubt be attended to when the Savings-bank Bill of last session is again brought forward. ROYAL MA RINES.—WOOLWICII, SET. 25—An order was received here yesterday evening for Lieut. hit. chard to proceed with the detachment for service in the Bellerophon, and at 6 o'clock Aar. to-day a special train was placed on the North Kent R4ilway to convey the 2 sergeants 2 corporals, two drummers, and 80 privates of the Woolwich division to London, en route to Plymouth, under the c.nn mand of Captain Hopkins, with Lieutenant Pritchard. One corporal and eight privates of this division were selected this morning, and immediately embarked in the Firefly, tor ser vice on the coast of Africa. LADY PEEL AT JEUSEY.—in the afternoon of Saturday, as Lady Peel, accompanied by Captain, Mr. and Miss Peel, were proceeding to town in a phaeton from Pon tac, in descending the steep hill, at St. Clement's, the horse fell, hurting its shoulders and legs, and breaking one of the shafts of the vehicle. Lady Peel and family, we are happy to add, received no injury.— Weeern Luminary.

A VENERABLE CHANCERY Sin:r.—The Chancery suit of the Attorney- General v. Trevelyan is now 161 years old. MONEY ani COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool were estimated at 3,000 bales, of which 300 were taken for export. The market closed heavily, at about Oct. psr lb. advance on Friday's rates, except for Egyptian!, which were un elianged.—The Share Market was firm, and prices were advancing. The sales of grain in the markets which regulate the duties, cemplised last week 103,850 quarters of wheat, and 6 208 quarters of barley. A ststeurent of the commerce of Belgium for the first eight months cf the present year shows a great increase it i the imports cf raw sugar, and a decrease in coffee aid :tobacco. Complaints are made that the French Customs authorities were seizing, on the northern fron tier, certain descriptions of textile fabrics, which have always hitherto been allowed to be imported, and the reason supposed is that the "marks" were not according to law. 'Pais, however, is not officially stated. From Trieste there are unfavourable reports concern ing the first crop in the Morea and the islands, the cur rants having suffered greatly by the heavy rains. There had been a large quantity of fruit dcstroy - ed, and not above 45,000,000ib5. of currants would be good. In the Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 24th inst., very hitlo was doing in Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., which were 57 1-16 to A-. Spanish Bonds were more freely brought to market. At the meeting to-day of South Sea House Proprie tors, a committee of bye-laws was appointed, and a state ment of accounts was submitted, which showed a balance due from the company of 4,5001. The English Stick Market has been rather depressed, sales having been made for transfer, but at the period of our writing, a rally is perceptible. Cons u ls have been 96 a _ a foe Transfer, and 96} -g- for Account. There has been very little time business doing. Exchequer bills have teen marked 635. to 663., and India Bonds 83s. premium. India Stock is at '268. Communications of no smell importance have been sent by the Mexican Government to the Committee of Bondholders, and it is to be regretted that they should tell so much against a firm that has for years been pre sumed to be of extreme punctuality, and alive to the in terests of the foreign creditors for whom it acted as agents. There can be uo doubt, however, that Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh are fairly open to the censure of the Government for so long detaining the 200,000 dollars arising from the tobacco duty collections, and that these ought to have long since been in the Back of England. The case is sufficiently cruel where the ne cessities of a country prevent the payment of a dividend on its loans, but to have delays when the amount is in hand, seems intolerable. The sums obtained also for the cotton liceese; ought to have been remitted, and every one here who hold Mexican stock feels in debtLd to the new Finance Minister M. Payne, fur his energetic proceeding; in endeavouring to clear up the cause of the delay, and failing satisfactory expla nations, at once order;ng the collectors to gay the amount of dulee to the Academy of San Carlos for din c: trans mission to the bondholders in England. Colonel Fecio sill have the pleasing task of writing to Mexico that M.
