There are several chapters, in which links of the story arc dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility.

Some weeks since it was our painful duty to direct the public attention to a most mischievous and highly inflAtnmatory document, which had been extensively circulated among the tenantry of a property which was about to he disposed of under the provisions of the Act for the Sale of EncuTnbered Estates in Ire land. This manifesto—which plainly and distinctly intimated that the law of the land would be set at open defiance, that the rights of purchasers, under the decree of a competent tribunal, would be strenuously resisted, and concluded , with rather a significant hint, that the writer and his 'r6taitlCAs would, " during the short days and long , • • . 16 1018 )f, winter, MEEKLY await at the old gateway thi Arming of the stranger" —was the more objec ;.,t'--.." 't p-frA 4t-'?" 4 -4, S tionable—we might add, the more incomprehensible— from the quarter whence it emanated. It was no rude illiterate man, strongly imbued with local pre judices, and ignorant of the mighty power with which he was about to enter into collision, that endeavoured to excite the passions of the people, and to induce those who had been accustomed to look up to himself and his forefathers for instruction and advice, to join in the agrarian out rage which had brought disgrace and ruin on so many districts in unhappy Ireland. It was, on the con trary, a person who by birth, education, and profes sion, was placed in a superior position. As a barrister at law, Mr. THOMAS O'BittEN, of Fairfield, could not possibly have misunderstood the true character of the act he was committing; but when we consider that he has already filled the important public situa tions of stipendiary magistrate in Ireland and of colo nial secretary at Sierra Lecne, words are inadequate to express our aitoniihment at the entire transaction. In this strange document Mr. 013 am; declares, that "not a farthing of English or Scotch capital will be caught in the gambling and disgraceful market held in Henrietta-street." That which he terms " the grossest false pretence which ever accom panied any public measure," was undoubtedly one of the objects of the Bill, and despite the denunciations and diatribes of Mr. O'BRIEN, it is one which will most unquestionably be accomplished. But is it net Mr. O'BRIEN himself, and persons of a similar character who are preventing, or endeavour ing to prevent, the influx of capital from other parts of the empire ? Is it one of the tempting inducements to a purchaser which should be prominently put for ward in the advertisements that the quondam pro prietor " has very great doubts whether the purchaser will get quiet possession ;" that he declares his inten tion of testing " the power vested in the auctioneers of Henrietta-street," and that "he is not resisting law but confiscation, not opposing the entrance of a law officer, but a robber ?" It is not for nothing that he promises the tenantry that they " shall have the land at any valuation they please, and leases MUST be granted to the most faithful and loyal amongst them." Why, Mr. O'BRIEN is even more liberal than any one of his ancestors, who during the four hundred years they held the property never committed a "landlord cruelty or even a neglect." His ability to discharge the obligation is, however, more doubtful. Promises are of but little value when the power of performance is altogether wanting. They may, however, be suffi cient to prevail on the unfortunate and misguided peasantry to join him in his " meek" watch for the stranger, and in giving the new corner a reception much too warm to be agreeable, and are, therefore, exceedingly mischievous, and to be deprecated by all right-minded men. But in sober earnest, for such a subject is by far too serious to be even for a moment treated as a jest, does Mr. O'BarErr forget the position of his unfortunate creditors—of those who, having advanced their money, have been long kept without either principle or interest ? He may feel deeply the severance of links that have existed for so many centuries ; but what must be the feelings of those whose unquestion able rights have been so long withheld? How would the case of Mr. O'BarEN have been improved if the obnoxious Act had never passed the Imperial Par liament ? According to his own statement, his lia bilities amount to 13,000/. ; his property was for merly estimated at 17,0001. A gentleman who so keenly feels that "property has its duties as well as its rights" must be well aware that even in such a case he could not treat his faithful tenants as they deserved—" give them the lands on their own valuation," "allow for improvements," or " grant leases to the most loyal." These are acts which can only be indulged in by unincumbered proprietors. The embarrassed landlord is driven by his own difficulties to greater harshness, and if Mr. O'BRIEN is really actuated by the feelings he professes, if he is willing "to stand naked in the world, as when he entered it, if his liabilities be only discharged," why should he object to have as large a sum as practicable realised for the benefit of his creditors ; or, if he desires to promote the interest of his tenants, why should he desire to deter a nobleman, whom he acknowledges to be " one of the best landlords, and the most unsullied private character in Ireland," from becom ing a purchaser or even a bidder at the approaching sale ? On this subject the following correspondence has passed between Mr. O'BRIEN and the Earl of CLAN• CARTY: -- "24, Southlifle, Wandsrorth, Oct. 18. " My Lord,—Some days hence, in a letter addressed to my tenantry, I made mention of your Lordship's name. The purport of that letter (a copy of which was duly transmitted to your Lordship) announced my do termination to resist the sale of my properties under the powers vested in the Encumbered Estates Bill for Ire land. As the largest bidder for one of my estates I had necessarily to allude to your Lordship, but I trust with that respect which I shall ever entertain for the intellec tual and moral attributes you so amply possess. As the time approaches (early I believe in Novembc,r) when the estates are again to be placed in the market, I think it but due to the feelings I entertain towards your Lord ship, as well as to my own character, that I should learn what course your Lordship purposes pursuing, and whe ther you will still lend the high sanction of your name to support the favourite measure of a Minister who dis played, during the last session of Parliament, when the 411eged interests of the savages of Africa were at stake, a more obtrusive and petulant sympathy than his Lord ship ever exhibited—a well-grounded and rational sorrow at the unexampled depression of the laud, not only of your birth but of your adoption. " I have the honour to subscribe myself, your Lord ship's faithful servant, " THOMAS O'BRIEN, late C.S. for Sierra Leone. "Right Hon. Earl i.f Claacarty, Garbally. "Y.a. I shall look upon your Lordship's reply in a public light." The following is his Lordship's reply " Garbally, Oct. 21. " Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 18th instant, as well as a printed copy of an address to your tenantry, to which your letter refers. " However unusual is the inquiry you make relative to my intentions about bidding for your property when next advertised to be sold by auction, I will answer you to the best of my ability. I have not seen any adver tisement tor the sale of Fairfield since the last sale was set aside ; and until it is advertised, and the rental and condition of the property are submitted for public in spection, I cannot form a judgment whether, supposing I should have at the time the money to lay out, the investment;would be eligible. Of this, however, I may tisure you, that appreciating your here ditary and very natural attachment to a property so long in your family, I shall gladly forego the consideration of any convenience I might derive from the annexation of the lands of Fairfield to my property adjoining, if my again bidding for them should stand in the way of arrangements by which you might be enabled to resume the possession and management of the property. " With reference to the address to your tenantry, you will, I am sure, upon a re-perusal of it, excuse my de clining further to notice it than to acknowledge its receipt. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " Thomas O'Brien, Esq." "CLA. INCARTY. The answer of his Lordship is that of a nobleman and a gentleman. We only regret that Mr. O'BalEr's pro ceeding was not more in harmony with his former posi tion as a public servant, and with that which he still oc cupies as a barrister. Lord CLANCARTY declares that, appreciating the hereditary and very natural attach ment to a property so long in the family, he will gladly forego the convenience he may desire from the annexation of the lands of Fairfield to his own property adjoining, if his bidding for them should stand in the way of arrangements, by which he (Mr. O'BRIEN) might reserve the possession and ma nagement of the property. On calm consideration, however, Mr. O'BRIEN must see that such an expec tation is altogether visionary, that no reasonable hope can be entertained of such an event. Whatever might once have been the value of his property, it his suffered from the general depreciation, and he should, as en honest man, rejoice at the facilities afforded by the new Act, which, by giving a clear, perfect, and unimpeachable title to the increases the value of the lands; and, by render ing the cumbrous machinery of the Court of Chancery ucnecessary, leaves a larger sum for di v i s i on amorg the parties justly entitled, taking it from lawyers to distribute among creditors. We trust that on calm consideration Mr. O'BRIEN will be inclined to disavow these incendiary publica tions, or at least to ascribe them to some temporary hallucination, of which he sincerely repents, and for which he is anxious to render the only reparation in his power—a firm determination henceforward to co operate with his much-aggrieved creditors in procur ing them a speedy payment on account of their re spective demands. The tropical sun of Sierra Leone must have heated his brain to the verge of insanity, or he could never have been guilty of conduct which THE he himself must admit to be so wholly indefensible and unwarrantable. In another column will be found the answer of the Bishop of LONDON to the address of the Westminster clergy on the subject of the recent appointment by the POPE of a Popish Archbishop of Westminster. The Bishop of LONDON characterises this assumption on the part of the POPE as a schismatic act, which he trusts will not be quietly tolerated, and he thus proceeds to advise the memorialists as to the conduct which, in his opinion, they ought under existing circumstances to pursue : " With respect to the conduct proper to be pursued by you on this occasion, it ought in my opinion to be tem perata and charitable, but firm and uncompromising. You will do well to call the attention of your people to the real purport of this open assault upon our Re formed Church, and to take measures for petitioning the Legislature to carry out the principle of the statute which lot - bids all persons, other than the parsons authorised by law, to assume or use the name, style, or title of any archbishop of any province, bishop of any bishopric, or dean of aoy deanery in England or Ireland, by extend ing the prohibition to any pretended dioceses or deaneries in these realms. " It is possible that such prohibitions might not have the effect of preventing the assumption of titles by the Papal bishops, when dealing with their own adherents; but it would make the assumption unlawful; and it would mark the determination of the people of this country not to pa.mit any foreign prelate to exercise spiritual juris• diction over them. " But there are other duties besides those of protest. ing and petitioning, the performance of which seems to be specially required of us by the present emergency. Unwilling as I am to encourage controversial preach ing, I must say that we are driven to have recourse to it by this attempted usurpation of authority on the part ot the Bishop of Rome, and by the activity and subtlety of his emissaries in all parts ot ',the kingdom. We are surely called upon for a more than ordinary measure of watchfulness and diligence in ful filling the promise which we gave when we were ad mitted to the priesthood—' to banish and drive away ,d 1 erroneous and strange doctrines, contrary to God's Word.' Let us be careful, as well in our public' mi nistrations as in our private monitions and exhortations, to refrain from doing or saying anything which may seem to indicate a wish to make the slightest approach to a Church, which, far from manifesting a desire to lay aside any of the errors and superstitions which com pelled us to separate from it, is now re-asserting them with a degree of boldness unknown since the Reforma tion ; is adding new eredencla to its articles of faith, and is undisguisedly teaching its memb-rs the duty of worshipping the creature with the worship due only to the Creator." This is all very excellent advice, but it does not go far enough. The Bishop of LONDON does not go to the root of the evil. With the declaration cy the Univers, the avowed, the cherished, the petted organ of Romanism before us, that " Protestantism must be put down by force of arms"—a declaration made by this journal, the journal of MM. DE FAL- Loux and DE MONTALEMBEET, no longer ago than Sunday last, it would be madness on the part of any one who values the name of Protestant not to adopt every measure possible to strengthen our defences against the threatened attack, and the first and most important of those mea sures is to at once expel from the camp every traitor and spy. The Roman Catholic obscurantists are themselves aware of the infinite importance of educa tion, and how utterly impossible it is to rivet the chains cf sacerdotal despotism around the necks of an educated people. Their proceedings in regard to the Queen's Colleges in Ireland show the reek- less spirit of hatred by which they are actuated. Sir ROBERT KANE, himself a Roman Catholic, and one who, from his position, is perhaps better fitted than any other to speak on the subject, thus describes the effects produced by the teaching in those institutions, which the obscurantists have the blasphemous mendacity to denominate " Godless Colleges :" " I appeal," said he in his opening address, " to the experience of the parents and guardians of students, whom here present in such numbers I have the honour to address, and demand if there be any parent who has found his son to be injured in morality or religion by having last year studied in this college? —(Applause.) I ask, if in the conduct of the students or authorities of this college, known to so many there, the principles of morality have been violated, or religion outraged? Was it the influence of infidel institutions which had induced the Roman Catholic stu dents at this college to fulfil the strictest religious duties in a proportion such as has been almost unknown in young men of similar ages? Were those the results of Godless colleges ?" Such are the institutions which are denounced by those who have recently assumed to exercise terri torial authority in this Protestant realm of England, and who show the importance they attach to corrupt , ing education where they cannot stifle it by their unceasing endeavours to establish in Ireland colleges where science shall be taught after the theories of Dr. PAUL ' CuLLEN, and charity inculcated by . the example of Dr. JOHN AMA's. The organizers of the crusade against Protestant- ism thus demonstrate the importance they attach to the subject of education. None but a devoted slave of the Roman PONTIFF will they suffer to have art or part in the matter ; while we, on the con trary, knowingly permit those who are teachers in our universities to pervert the minds of the youths placed under their charge by teaching Popish legends instead of Protestant truth, and thus to recruit the forces of Rome by perverting Protestant youth, they themselves being all the while in the receipt of emoluments derived from Protestant foundations. Surely there must be some thing wrong in the constitution of that Uni- versity which permits a man like Dr. PIISEY, who has been actually condemned for false doctrine, to continue teaching as a professor within its pre- cincts. In addition, therefore, to the steps recom mended by the Bishop of LONDON, we would recommend all true Protestants to memo rializs the Government and the University authorities, beseeching them to take steps to purge the Universities of all those who " repudiate the name of Protestant." Some weeks since we directed the public attention F to the evidence taken before the Deputy Coroner of the County cf Middlesex, and a jury empannelled, to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of a young man named JAMES GEAR; which was alleged to have been occasioned by the brutal and unnecessary violence with which he had been treated by two police. constables some time previously. On that inquiry, there appeared to be no controversy respect ing (the facts. Many witnesses were pro. duced, all of whom deposed to the atrocious conduct of the policeman, and to the extraordinary ' quietness of the unfortunate young man, who had been guilty of no offence to warrant such gross ill usage as he was said to have received from two of the appointed conservators of the public peace. There was no rebutting testimony—no policeman tendered his evidence to show that the proceedings were ren dered necessary, or were in any degree justified by the circumstances of the case. It was distinctly and positively sworn by Moutzs GEAR; a brother of the deceased, that "in the charge-room, and whilst on their way to the cell, his brother and himself had been knocked about by one of the policemen (whom he identified), who repeatedly struck them on the arms and faces, and finally flung them violently into the cell like dogs." This state ment, which could so easily have been contradicted, as all the constables on duty at the station must have been cognizant of what occurred "in the charge room," was permitted to go to th e j ury with out qualification or explanation of any descrip tion. The injuries received by the deceased were spoken to by a respectable medical practitioner, and on that subject there could be no mistake. "The right arm was very much bruised from the shoulder to the wrist; there was also a bruise on the right side of the face, and a clot of coagulated blood on the right ear. He likewise observed the marks of a blow under the ear, which was a dangerous one from its locality. The deceased complained of injuries in other parts of- his body, which the witness did not think it necessary to examine." From this it was tolerably clear that the staves had been freely used, whether that proceeding could be justified or not being another question. Sergeant BcsHELL, of the D division of police, was pointed out as one of the parties implicated, but his companion was not identi- tied. The police kept wholly aloof; they would not ' render any assistance, or throw any light on the subject ; they neither came forward to explain who was the coadjutor of Sergeant BUSHELL, or to de clare that there had been exaggeration or over statement of the real facts. It was an inferior tri bunal, beneath the notice of "the force." Under these circumstances, the inquiry was brought to a conclu sion, the Deputy Coroner, in his charge declared, "that there Was iwt the least doubt that the police had j NE - Vi LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOiBER 29, 1850. exercised brutal violence towards the unfortunate de ceased," and the jury brought in a verdict of" Man slaughter" against Sergeant BustiELL, and at the same time expressed their regret "at the inability of the witnesses to identify the other constable engaged in the outrage on the deceased." On Saturday Sergeant BusmEr.r. was arraigned before the Recorder on the coroner's inquisition, and after a trial which lasted eleven hours was acquitted of the grave charge. It is not our habit or desire at any time to impugn theverdict which twelve men re turn on their oaths, more especially when they have taken a merciful view of the case. We are well aware of the humane maxims, that "it is better that one hundred guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should be unjustly punished," and that, " if there is any reason able doubt, the benefit of it should be given to the accused." We are also bound to say that it was by no means proved that the death of GEARY was occa sioned by the injuries he had sustained on the occa sion of his unfortunate collision with the police ; we are therefore quite willing to admit that no other vet , . diet could have been returned as to the charge of manslaughter. We du not, then, intend in any degree to impeach the decision of the jury when com menting upon the extraordinary circumstances con nected with the melancholy transaction. The principal witness on behalf of the prisoner was Sergeant JAMES M'CREW, of the same division, who was, it appears, " the unidentified party." Sergeant M'CREW attended before the Coroner, but he made no statement whatsoever. Ile did not then come forward or allege that the deceased had made any re sistance to the capture, or declare that he himself, and ❑ot Sergeant BUSHELL, was the person who gave the blows to the deceased. Indeed, it seems strange that if the resistance was of so desperate and deter mined a character as described, that one of the con stables should have remained perfectly quiescent while the other was compelled to strike so many blows in their joint defence. Why were not the other policemen, who flocked " Thick vs leaves on Vallambrosa," to give the benefit of their testimony to their comrade, produced before the. Coroner? Was it because they would have supplied the missing link in the chain of evidence against Sergeant 111TREw, who in such case would have been placed on his trial at the same time with Sergeant BusnELL ? There can be no doubt if the good conduct of " the force" had not been involved in the issue, there would have been no lack of witnesses. Unfortunately, however, the police exhibited a strange and unaccountable apathy on the occasion, which is by no means satisfactorily explained by their recent activity. It is also to be regretted that the evidence should have been of so very conflicting a character as to make it certain that there must have been wilful and corrupt perjury on one side or the other. All the civilians examined gave one version, the constabulary another and totally different one. According to the witnesses for the prosecution the unfortunate deceased was "a very lamb," while " a tiger" would have been a more correct designation if the evidence of the police was correct. It is at all times unpleasant to find such grave contradictions in the " witness-box." It is still more unsatisfactory when the witnesses are of different classes, and the depositions of one party are all one way, while those of the other are completely opposite and irreconcil able. On the whole we cannot say that we are satis fied with the result, and we trust that the Commis- sioners will institute a searching inquiry into the entire transaction, and compare the evidence given on the recent trial with that given before the police magistrate, when the unfortunate deceased was dis charged from custody without being subjected to fine or punishment of any description whatsoever. INCONTENIENCES AT LONDON-BRIDGE.—A great deal of inconvenience has been for some time felt and risk encountered by the public in crossing from one side of London-bridge to the other, in consequence of the e n o rmous traffic over it, and at last the Corporation have taken the matter of complaint into consideration. It has been proposed by Mr. Dawson, one of the representatives of Wa'brook ward, to make for the public an easy and safe communication between the east and west sides of the bridge by forming a passage or tunnel seven feet high and eight feet wide through or rather beyond, the abutment of the south or Surrey end of the bridge, from the first landing of the steps on the east side to the corresponding landing of the steps on the west side. It is calculated that the passage or tunnel will also prove of great convenience to the numbers of persons who come up by railway to London-bridge and want to get into the steam-boats for the west-end of the town, without the hazard of their lives or limbs in crossing the bridge. Mr. Bunning, the architect to the City, and Mr. Leach, the en gineer to the Thames Navigation Committee, have been re quested to ascertain the exact structure of that part of the bridge through which the passage or tunnel is proposed to be made, and it is believed that no engineering difficulties will present themselves to the accomplishment of the object. IMPORTED CRIMINALS IN NORTHUMBERLAND...—. During the last twelve months there have been 579 persons committed to the county prison at Morpeth, and of these 97 only were natives of the county. During the same period 125 were tried at the assizes and sessions, and of these 19 only were Northumbrians. We understand that Messrs. Clowes, the eminent printers, in London, have obt a i ne d th e contract f or pr i nt i ng the catalogue for the 1851 Exhibition. They give a pre. mium of 4,0001. for the privilege, and 2d. for every copy sold towards the expense of the Exhibition. The catalogue will be sold for ls.; another catalogue will also be published, which will be printed in several languages, and be sold for 10s. We learn that yesterday 600 additional hands were em. ployed upon the building —making altogether 1,500. THE DODDINGHURST MURDER.—TEE account of the funeral ofJael Denney, and some further particulars as to the awful affair, were published in our last. We also no ticed the general exaggerations and inventions of the Lon don press, without going minutely into them, but there is one point which we have been requested positively to con tradict, as it seems to imply a want of feeling or neglect against Mr. Hammond. the overseer. It was stated in several of the London journals, and a Sunday paper com mented on it with much severity, that the corpse of the murdered woman was removed from the dwelling and placed in an outhouse or cattle shed. This is utterly false; the body was never removed from the house into which it was taken immediately on being found.—Essex Herald. SECESSION FROM THE CHURCH OF ROME.—T. Eastwood, Esq., of Brindle Lodge, a magistrate of the county and borough of Lancaster, has, with Mrs. Eastwood and his family, renounced the errors of the Roman Catholic Church. Sir James J. R. Mackenzie, Bart., of Scatwell, is at present on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, at Gorden Castle. James Duff, Esq., M.P., and Lady Agnes Duff, left Edinburgh on Thursday, for Skene House. Her Ladyship, we understand, has been seriously indisposed for the last fort night, but is now so far recovered as to be able to undertake the journey northwards. AMMUNITION FROM IRELAND. --A vessel has arrived at Woolwich, from Belfast, having on board 9 barrels, 226 half-barrels, and 1,374 quarter-barrels, 2 hogsheads, 4 bags, and 10 hides of ammunition, from Ireland, Comprising the whole of the ship's cargo.

Af from o ni M A PLEASURE VAN ON FIR E . —O n Sunday afternoon a pleasure van, returning from Hampton Court with a party of men and women, eighteen in number, in passing through Turnham-green, was discovered to be on fire; the loose straw at the bottom of the vehicle blazed up so fiercely that the women's dresses were ignited, and some of them were severely burnt. The flames communicated to the awning, and before the fire could be:put out the van was a com plete wreck. Mrs. Short, of Charles -street, Drury-lane, the wife of the proprietor of the van, was so severely injured that she had to be taken to the hospital. The disaster was occasioned by some one of the party smoking and dropping his light. ILLNESS OF THE HON. E. P. BOUVERIE, We regret to state that the Hon. Member for the Kilmar. nock district of burghs has, for two weeks past, been s er i ous l y indisposed.-- Glasgow Daily Mail. THE ARCHDEACON or LONDON.—The Archdeacon underwent an operation on Wednesday last, under the influ ence of chloroform. Mr. Bransby Cooper performed the ope ration, assisted by Dr. Babbington Snow, and Mr. Miles, th e medical officer of the Charter-house. The Archdeacon is progressing slowly but favourably, and consequently will not be able to resume his archidiaeonal duties for a few weeks. DEATH OF MR. COMMISSIONER HARRIS. --MY, Commissioner Harris, of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, ex pired at his residence, Chester-place, en Friday, in his 77th year. He had been a Commissioner of the Court for nearly 30 years. The situation, in accordance with an Act of Par liament passed some time back, will not be filled up. The salary was 1,5001. a year. The cases will now be divided among the three remaining Commissioners. The Court will resume the sittings on Friday. DOVER Minium—Oa Tuesday night and Wed nesday morning we were again visited by another tremen dous gale, which has produced some further damage to the stays and machinery of the refuge harbour works, and carried away a little more of the ground in front of the Ordnance offices. It is a pity the Board of Ordnance do not at once place some stable defence at this place, now the weakest point of the bay.—Dover Chronicle. HAREOUR OP REFUGE AT NEW QUAY, CARDIGAN BAY. --In consequence of a memorial forwarded to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, praying for the establish ment of a breakwater and harbour of refuge at New Quay, the Admiralty Inspector of Harbours, Captain Washington, R.N., opened last week, at New Quay, a court of inquiry re lative to the truth of the allegations contained in the memo. rial, which was most numerously and influentially signed. At the conclusion, the inspector said it was his duty to cau tion the gentlemen not to be too sanguine of success.— Carmarthen Journal. . _ A FACT FOR THE MARQUIS OF GRANBY.—At the last meeting of the Sherborne Board of Guardians, there was not a single applicant for relief. It is a circumstance which has not occurred before since the union has been established. —Gloucester Journal THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. General CHANGARNIER is even more displeased with General SCHRAMM than he was with General D'HauTrouL, and complains of the address of the new Minister of War to the army as an insult addressed personally to himself; he is also greatly annoyed at the 'removal of General NIEUMAYER, his " fidus Achates," from the command of his division, and con siders it as a prelude to his own dismissal. The police have been very busy in getting up a sham conspiracy at Lyons, for the purpose of enabling the authorities to remove several persons who are opposed to the Government, and among them M. GENT, from the city. These persons have been arrested ; they will probably be never brought to trial, but after being detained a few months be discharged. France, unfortunately, has no Habeas Corpus Act. Dl. DUPONT DE L'EuRE has addressed a letter to the National approving of the resolution adopted by the Republican party to abstain from voting at the ensuing election of a representative for the depart ment of the North. The director of the Opinion Publique is to appear before the Court of Assize to answer for having copied an article from the Corsaire containing an offence to the PRESIDENT of the Republic. General DE BOURJOLLY has addressed a letter to the _Evenement, denying that his differences with Ge neral D'HAUTPOUL arose either from any act of his Ministry, or because he had promised him the Go vernment of Algeria. The equestrian fete, which was to have taken place at the Champ de Mars on Sunday, was postponed in consequence of the bad weather, after an immense multitude had collected there. Some confusion arose in consequence of the disappointment. Snow has already fallen at Tarbes and at PAU in large quantities.

Madrid journals of the 23d have arrived. It was said that Lord HOWDBN had declared his intention of interfering directly and personally in the question of the arrangement of the public debt of Spain. The Government had received no further accounts from Cuba relative to the revolt at Pinar del Rio. MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 23.—The Three per Cents were done at 341 for time ; the Four per Cents. al 131; the Five per C en t s ., 131 ; th e D e b t wittioul Interest, at 3i for cash ; and the Coupons, at 71. GERMANY. Accounts from Vienna of the 24th announce that on that day a Bavarian and Hungarian corps entered Hesse-Cassel, the former corps was accompanied by an Austrian battalion. The Austrian army in the Tyrol is to be reinforced by 4,000 men from the army of Italy ; this will raise the force of the army of the Tyrol to 34,000 men. The Bohemian army, which consists of 85,000 men, is to be reinforced .by 14 infantry battalions and 4 cuiras sier regiments from Hungary. These armies are sta tioned close to the frontiers, and when on active ser vice are to be commanded by Generals ScaLics and CLAM. The Emperor of AUSTRIA left Vienna on the 23d for Prague, accompanied by Prince SCHWART ZENBERG. General LETNINGEN has superseded General Scui- HUDERG as Austrian commandant in Frankfort. Accounts from Berlin of the 26th state that the Prussian forces continue concentrating on the Hessian frontier. A dispatch, of which General HAHN was the bearer, had been sent off on the 25th to the Staathalterschaft of Holstein, by the Prussian Go vernment. The Cologne Gazette has the following from Han over, of the 25th : " Messrs. Lindemann, Von Rossing, Von Billow, and Von Munchausen had a conference to-day; doubtless for the purpose of forming a new Cabinet, if possible. The Hanover Zeitung has at length been brought to acknow ledge that a new Cabinet is on the point of being formed. The Neue Munchener Zeitung, an official paper, states that the Austrian troops in the Tyrol and Vo rarlberg have now, indeed, received orders to take the field. The Tyroler Bole, of the 22d inst., confirms the news contained in the IVeue Munchener Zeitung, by a statement that the brigades of ZouEL and KOLLERY have received instructions to join the Bavarian army on the banks of the Main. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Accounts received from Rendsburg, of the 24th, mention a skirmish which took place on the 23d be tween the Danish and Holstein outposts. The fol lowing is General WILLISEN'S report of this affair : Early yesterday morning a patrol of the Ist batta lion of infantry encountered a strong division of Danish infantry at Hummolfeld, and lost three men in the rencontre. " This morning two divisions of dragoons attacked and drove back two divisions of Danish cavalry, who advanced from Kropp. They encountered three other divisions of the enemy's cavalry and one division of Danish Jagers. They were surrounded, but victoriously fought their way through, w here by they lost seven mer, who fell wounded into the hands of the Danes. After they had re treated a considerable distance they turned round, attacked the Danes, and took seven men prisoners. As the Danes had several men killed and wounded in this encounter, their loss is probably much greater than ours. Non-official reports state that Lieut. Hansen was at tacked in the rear by three Danish squadrons; he, how ever, fought his way through the midst of them, and lost eight men killed and wounded, but, on the other hand, killed and wounded nine Danes, and took seven men pri soners, together with their horses." There is a movement going on among the Danish troops which plainly indicates that they are contem plating some steps of importance. They are closely watched by General VON WicursEN, but the want of able leaders is sensibly felt in the army. ITALY. Letters from Turin, of the 23d inst., announce that on the 22d a deputation, composed of inhabitants and of refugees, presented to the Government the plan of a national workhouse for refugees. The Minister of the Interior presented the plan to the KING. His MAJESTY approved of it. The Duke ANTONIO LISTA is appointed president of the committee; and Signor ROMEO ANDREA, of Naples, president of the commit. tee of Neapolitan emigrants, is appointed vice-presi dent. The committee is authorised by the Govern ment to take measures to carry the plan into exe cution. General CABRERA arrived in Florence on the 19th .nsP„ coming from Lucca. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 10;......51F STRATFORD CANNING and family have left the capital. The fleet entered the Bosphorus on the sth. On the Bth a gun manufactory was burned to the ground. A Russian corvette has arrived from Athens, with dis patches from Baron TITOW, the Russian Charge d'Affaires.—Ansieger Zeitung UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OCT. 28.—Mr. George Osborne Morgan, Scholar of Worcester College, and Craven Scholar, was this day elected to be Stowell Civil Law Fellow of University College. At the same time Mr. Goldwin Smith, who re signed the Stowell Fellowship, was elected a Fellow on the foundation of Sir Simon Bennet. PERPETUAL CURACY OF SELBY.—This important incumbency —the patron being a Papist—falls to the Senate of the University of Cambridge, who are to elect an incum bent this day, in the Senate-house. The candidates are— Mr. Harper, of St. John's, and Mr. Scott, of Clare Hall, now curate of one of the churches of Lincoln, and grandson to the great commentator. As descended from that eminent man, and as himself a laborious clergyman of fifteen years' stand ing, Mr. Scott obtains considerable support. The election will commence at ten o'clock this day, and close at nine o'clock in . the evening, in the Senate-house.—Herald. At the Norfolk Quarter Sessions, on Wednesday last, it was determined to reduce the wages paid to the rural police, so as to effect a saving of 9251., or to 2-16ths of a penny in the pound on the assessment of the county. ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, OCT. 28.—Cap tain Patton, of Major Young's company, is appointed adjutant of the Ist battalion, vice Lawrence, deceased. Captain Cleaveland's company, 12th battalion, relieved Captain Wode house's company, 10th battalion, from field battery duty on Saturday last. THE NEW PARK AT BATTERSEA.—The Commis sioners of Woods and Works have now completed the arrangements for carrying into effect the projected park in Battersea-fields, and have purchased, for the sum of 1 1,0001,, the celebrated shooting-grounds and premises so long known as the Red House. The present occupier is to be allowed to remain in possession for fifteen months, as it is the intention of the Commissioners to commence without delay the erec tion of the iron suspension -bridge, which is to cross the Thames immediately below the Royal Hospital on the Pim lico side. . RE-OPENING OF OXFORD-STEEET.--The portion of this street which has been closed for several weeks to the immense traffic of that important th oroughfare, for rep a i rs , has been re-opened to the public, and the ent i re line of roadway forming the hollow portion of th e street, and the ascent in an eastward direction , as far as B ond•street, has been paved with granite blocks of a very substantial character. THE WHITE HORSE, NEAR W ANTAGE.—This an cient memorial of Anglo-Saxon events has been partially cleared and renovated, but, we regret to hear, in 50 unskil ful a manner, that the original spirited outline has been very much disfigured. It is a matter of regret that at the cele bration of the birthday of Ring Alfred, a twelvemonth since, measures were not taken to preserve in its proper form this, striking reminiscence of that glorious king,—Berkshire Chronicle, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 600 American and 200 Bahia were taken on speculation. The market has au upward tendency, and extreme prices have been ob tained for all kinds. The sales comprised about 4,000 American, 400 Pernam and Maranham at Bd. to 8Id.; 600 Bahia at 84d. to B*d.; 400 Egyptian at 84d. to sid.; 400 Surat at 54c1. to 51d.; and 70 Sea Island at Is. lid. to ls. sd. per lb.—The Share Market was dull at lower quotations. The Produce Markets in Mincing -lane are rather duller than they were a week or two since. Accounts from Amsterdam state that the Chambsr of Commerce had petitioned the Government to adopt measures for conneeting the Dutch Rhenish Railway with the German lines, and that the King had expressed himself most favourably towards such an extension. The Ministry, in order to facilitate the works for drying the Harlem Lake, intended to present to the Legislature a project for a further advance of money. The Funds at Amsterdam on Sunday were higher, the Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. being 56k to I. At Hamburgh last Friday there was no alteration in the rate of exchange on London. Coffee was quiet, and there was very little remaining in first or second hands. Late advices from Columbia, received via the United States, affirm that " Grenade, under the administration of Lopez, is fast gaining ground among her sister re publics, and the present immense improvements on the Isthmus are bringing her more before the world. Now here in South America are foreigners placed upon a more equal footing with the citizens of the country, and nowhere are their rights more securely guaranteed them. Lopez knows well the advantage to his country of foreign immigration, and while he encourages it his country is benefited by it." The merchants of Charlotte Town, Prince Edward Island, are at issue with the Custom-house. The law provides that the value of " goods imported from Great Britain and greland, and charged in the invoice in British sterling," shall be calculated on the amount of such sterling reduced to currency by adding one-ninth. The Custom-house authorities do not apply this rule to goods imported through the other colonies. The mer chants think it applies to all British goods with sterling invoice. The inland mails were not resumed at last advices. The imports of Lumber from the port of Quebec, from the opening of the navigation to the 30th Sept., iuclusive, in 767 vessels, were— White Pine ~.. 9,609,040 feet.

The state of the Money Market in London continues satisfactory, if we measure it by the rate of discount, and do not acquiesce in the assumption that extreme cheapness is the index of its healthiness. Surplus cash finds now readier employment, and this is the best check to injudicious foreign ventures. A good deal of sil ver still leaves this country, but scarcely more than we receive from South America, and if payment be made, and great losses are not incurred upon the large quantity of manufactures sent hence to the United States and the Pacific, we may reasonably look for an influx of gold. The English Funds have fallen from the higher point which they had attained yesterday afternoon, and more Money Stock has come to market. Speculators, how ever, have likewise been encouraged to sell upon the statement in the Times that the Austrian troops have entered Hesse-Cassel. Consols have been quoted 96i to 97 for Transfer, and 96,1 to 97 for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 97i to 98 ; and the Three per Cents. 96 to *.

Chilian Stock has been at 1021 to 103. Railway Shares are not so good, and in most instances the quotations rule lower. This is partly attributable to the heaviness of the English Funds, but in some measure likewise to the diminished number of transactions within the last few days. The decline in the smaller shares is i to i, and in North-Western, Midland, Great Western, and South Eastern about *. South-Western have been us low as 68.
