Very recently we have had to demonstrate an enormous perversion of the enormous powers of the Poor-law Commthu aioners in the department of one of their subordinate au da. titles. We may shortly recur more at large to "An ver Union House" cise. Our P r esent object is to animadvert that on two ca,es that have swelled, within these three or four e d aYs, the list of almost daily acts of misconduct on . th e Part of the constables of the metropolitan Pohc • Tile first of the two cases we are about to notice occurred at a ftehaehlerle:rakfeni well Po lice -office on Friday. mportance to the public as regarded the character of the facts upon which it was brought before the magistrate, It presents n 1311 t i 8 of considerable gravity in reference to the violation it Involved of those men, de personal rights and that personal liberty to W hich we have just now alluded. Two working "IltlY attired —and, for anything that appeared to the con trary, well behaved, and of good character —were brought up abilefothree pthreetseidttininggnmigahgti:trate, after having been and until put in the dock, before Mr. GaEv-xwoon, on Friday morning, on a charge of having stolen incarcerated 4 Set of harness belonging to a tradesman, from some stables in Thanet-mews, Burton -crescent. This charge was one, to all intents and purposes, of felony. The magistrate asked the pol-constable what evidence he had to support it ? The may,,,,,, re Plied that " one of the prisoners, after his ap '''""Bon, said he had been in the mews after his coat on the night the robbery was committed. There was no further evidence against him." Not one whit less criminatory would 4 ,____. have been the charge that he had been, that evening, wiu"" /a i • the LI e Parishes of Marylebone or St. Pancras ; not one Whit less ridiculous the inference that, ergo, he had been 'lee:le d in any robbery that might have happened Within those rather extensive limits.

In fact the most complete tranquillity prevails in France. The Government, if it does not give entire satisfac tion, i 3 careful to give no great cause of offence ; there are no repeal meetings in that country to vary the dull scene, no great agricultural assemblagesi the war between the Church and the university, not like our Puseyite war, is carried on entirely by the pen and with but little asperity, and even politics and national antipathies excite the most transient notice. The Government journal, the Globe, to find matter for a political article is obliged to travel back, not to the last session only but to the decease of the THIERS Ministry. Its remarks nevertheless require attention for their truth and for the insight they afford to the tactics of the Opposition. "That party," it says, " does not cease reproaching the Government with what it calls its in fatuation for the English alliance. Not only the Opposition reproaches the Government with the good understanding established between the two States, but does not cease to repeat that England cloaks her jealousy and her with hypo critical friendsnip. Is the Opposition consistent with its former conduct and policy in this question ? Certainly not. It plays here a new part, which it assumes to satisfy personal ambition. Up to 1840, the Opposition did not cease to re present to the Government the evil intentions of the Con tinental powers. It foretold that a storm was to burst on us from the north of Europe : it beheld the holy alliance marching on our frontiers, and cried out—' To arms !' At the same time it praised up the English alliance, and endeavoured to prove that we could only count on the friendship of the nation which first recognised the Revolution of July. Every one remembers the speech which A MAU- GMT then delivered with the applause of the whole Opposi tion. Every one remembers those afterwards pronounced by M. Timms. What do we hear at present? The very oppo site to what was said five years ago. In fact, since 1840,that is to say, since the accession of the Ministry of October 29, the Opposition has declared itself to be inimical to the Eng lish alliance, or rather to the good understanding which exists between France and England ; and by the same altera tion a part of the Opposition has pronounced in favour of an alliance with the Continental powers. In four and twenty hours the enemies of the day before became the friends of the morrow, and vice verse. One preaches for Austria, another for Prussia, and a third fur Russia. What is the secret and main-spring of this change in language? Whence comes it that the lion. Members of the Left deem wretched to-day what they found excellent yesterday ? Nothing is more easy to be explained. The policy, principles, and fortune of France interest the Opposition but middlingly. They place their own interests in the first line, and those of the country after. There is in such conduct neither patriotism, prudence, nor talent—nothing but mean jealousy, but miserable and sterile ambition." Even the intimate friendship between the Sovereigns of England and France, and the late visit of her MAJESTY to Eu par ticularly are regarded rather in a favourable light by miters not much disposed to praise the Ministry. " The Queen of ENGLAND," says the Revue des Deux AI - uncles, " came a second time to visit the KING of the Fr-Falcrt at the Chateau of Eu. That shot t but gracious visit has been presented by the Ministerial journals in its proper light.. On this occasion they did not foolishly make it a subject of triumph ; they did not describe it in the style of an epic poem or romance; they adopted a simple and true language, the best suited to cele brate that happy event. France may feel flattered by the testimonials of esteem and affection given by the young QUEEN of the three kingdoms to the crowned representative of the Revolution of July. To confer that mark of friend ship, Queen Victoria, sailing from the coast of Belgium, pro longed her sojourn on board .by thirty-six hours—a circum stance which enhanced the value of her affectionate visit. On that account was her MAJESTY welcome to the coast of France, and saluted with a sincere enthusiasm by the people." The Royal Family, from all accounts, seem to take great delight in their residence at Eu, and will not return to Neuilly till about the middle of October. On Friday, the KING and QUEEN, with the Prince and Princess of SALERNO, and most of the Royal Family at Eu, took carriage exercise in the Great Park, returning to the chateau by Tripod. They were accompanied by the Count DE SALVANDY, General GourmAnD, the Prefect of the Seine-Infrieure, the Mar quises DE STRADA and DE BRAUCACCIO. On Saturday the KING and her Royal llighness Madame ADELAIDE, accom panied by Generals ATHALLN, GOL'RGAUD, and FRIANT, and the Marquis DE STRADA, took carriage exercise fur three hours in the environs of Eu. --- The following are miscellaneous extracts from the Papers The Minister of Finale Works has left Paris on a tour to the South. He will visit the centre of France by the line of Vierzon, follow that of the railroad between the Ocean and the Mediterra nean, and, having inspected the great works now in ex e c u ti on at the ports of the Mediterranean, and 'particularly Marseilles, will go by the railroad to Avignon and Lyons, returning through Burgundy to Paris by the Lyons railroad. The Minister is expected to visit Marshal Soult at Soultberg. " A letter from Leghorn, of the Bth, informs us that a successful operation had been performed upon Ibrahim Pacha by Dr. Torii, and that Strong hopes are entertained of his perfect recovery. " Marshal Bugeaud arrived at Soultberg on the 9th, and left on the 11th. The Moniteur Parisien says, 'lf we are well informed the interview of the two Marshals was of a nature to show a satis factory accord as regards our colony in the views of Marshal Bu geaud and the well-known intentions of the President of the Council.' " The Phare de la Manche quotes a letter from Cherbourg announcing the arrival in that port, on the 6th inst., of Admiral Napier, who visited the breakwater and all the naval and military establishments.l "A letter from Venice informs us that at the late regatta there the ex-Empress Marie Louise and the Duchess de Berry were present Marie Louise saw the regatta from a balcony ; the Duchess de Berry remained in her gondola. "A commission has been appointed at Algiers to examine and re port upon various questions connected with the marine, particularly the following points ;—The means of defence for the coasts, road steads, and harbours ; the organisation of the naval administration in the different localities, and the means of increasing the maritime trade, and obtaining from it, in case of need, a supply of men for the royal navy."

The Roman Catholics hold nearly the same opinions of the Church in which this bishop officiates ; they call it a heretical Church, a church without the sanction of Divine authority, and a declared rebel against the faith and canons handed down by the Apostles. The Free Church,of Scotland regards both these Episcopal churehes as unsound in their doc trines, and even the Kirk of Scotland, so long famed for the purity of its creed, and admired as the brightest essence of the Reformation, it pro nounces Erastian and consequently little en titled to the support of true Christians. It is to recount the religious opinions of many other churches, or point out the endless diversity which prevails. While men are suffered to exercise their private judgment, and adopt principles of belief consistent in their opinion with the Scripture, this diversity must necessa rily exist, and onlyproves the weakness of human nature But we must protest against such presumptuous preten sions as those made by the Bishop of Ossony. By what authority does he know the will of " But by whom kings reign ?"—the authority which is open to all— which is consulted by Catholics and Calvinists, and Dissenters of all classes, and who are just as competent to form a correct opinion as a man dressed in lawn sleeves and a mitre, who happened to study divinity at Trinity College, Dublin, or one of the English uni versities. It is a curious fact that no class rail more against blasphemy than the clergy, and that none are so guilty of this deadly sin. Were they to attend to the divine precepts which they profess to follow, and "judge not that they b e no t j u d ge d" —were they to practice that charity which is from above, and love their neigh bour as dim:heaves, they would shun, as a heinous crime, every • uncharitable opinion of their tellow- Christians, and thereby contribute to the accomplish ment of one great object of the Divine mission—" Peace on earth, and good-will among men." .loanon, or UNION HOUSES.--A poor man of the name of Thomas Stacey, of Iliaton, aged forty-eight, showed such a dread of the union workhouse as to die of starvation on Monday last, after having =heisted for eight weeks on 51.—Bath lona L bo N 3 1' t 7 ICY and biIVIMERCIAL NEWS (Prom The Sun of Last Night.)

MON 'ollowing tip the subject (and a niost important otie it is) et the construction of railways in Canada, it is useful to quote the following from the Kingston (11. C.) Chronicle : " A Canadian railroad, to produce the most beneficial effects which dan be produced, provincially considered, must corn inence at the extremity of Canada west and terminate at its eastern extremity, and be continued on to the sea coast. We published a long and interesting letter in the colums of this paper, addressed to Lord Sydenham, on this subject, when he first came to Canada, earnestly recommending such a work, previously to the vast outlay on the St. Lawrence. We had reason to believe that his Lordship agreed with the wrier of that article as to the comparative advantages, but there were political objects and old pledges, as well as old prejudices, which intervened, and which put the object aside. That it will be accomplished we entertain no doubt, and at a much earlier period than some of our contemporaries seem to think, nor will it fail to be a profitable undertaking when ever it is done—of this we are perfectly certain."

The short interval between the race this afternoon and the departure of the post puts it out of our power to give so de tailed a report of this day's proceedings as their importance deserves. The racing will speak for itself : it was ample and good, the weather was favourable, and the assemblage above the average in number and quality. The St. Leger continues to excite the most extraordinary interest, and the betting on it to be marked by fluctuations altogether without a parallel. Weatherbit's ups and downs, in particular, are wonderful : last night he was " broken-winded," and went to 12 to I—this morning he went a strong gallop, pulled up as sound as his best friends could have wished, and before the races com menced, on a large outlay, rose to 4 and st o 1 I We presume so good an opportunity of hedging was not lost upon his party. The last hope of the backers of Forth's horses was extinguished this morning by a declaration that Ould Ireland was lame and would not start! The other movements will be sufficiently indicated by the state of the odds given underneath. Of the racing this afternoon, we subjoin the usual return.

Nonwrcn, SEPT. 15.—The rehearsal commenced this morning at ten o'clock, with Spohr's oratorio of Calvary, and Haydn's Seasons. The orchestral and choral forces are magnificent; the former amounting to a hundred and fourteen, amongst which are Lindley, T. Cooke (who leads), Howell, Grattan Cooke, Williams, Lazarus, Puzzi, Baumann, Harper, Prospere, and others well known for their instrumental excellence; the latter consists of eighty-four trebles, fifty altos, sixty-eight tenors, and seventy basses. Benedict is the conductor of this mighty musical army. The principal singers are Madame Grisi, Miss Dolby, Signor Mario, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Machin, Madame Caradori Allan, Miss Poole, Signor F. Lablache, Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Bradbury, and Herr Staudigl. The Bishop's palace is already crowded with guests, among whom are Lord Lansdowne, Sir Charles Lemon, Sir John Boileau. Lady Ward, and other noble families. Lord Suffield and the Dowager Lady Lichfield are staying at the splendid residence of Mr. Kitson ; indeed, every nobleman's and gentleman's house in the neighbourhood is crammed from parlour to attic ; the genial hospitality for which England in the olden time was so gloriously distinguished would appear to be again restored. The festival commences to-morrow evening with Handers Alexander's Feast, Mozart's sinfonia in G minor, and n miscellaneous mixture," in which the Italians will exercise their most sweet voices. THE INCOME-TAX. TO THE EDITOR Ol• THE SUN. Sin,—Knowing that your columns are always open to the cries of the oppressed, and that you are always ready and willing to render your assistance and to give your advice to such as are sufferers by the conduct of others, I venture to bring before your notice a case of as great hardship and punishment as can well be accom plished under the Income-tax Act, except the one of Messrs. Fielding, of Todmorden. I have been a small manufacturer of hats in this place for nearly thirty years ; I have always fulfilled my en gagements during that period with punctuality. None of my creditors have been paid less than twenty shillings to the pound value, as my receipts will prove. I have, with great care, industry, and frugality, raised a small family, and also saved a little against old age. Never did an execution from any of the courts of law enter my house until the Bth instant, when the collector of income tax, with a police officer, entered my warehouse, seized and carried away five pieces of silk plush, of the value of 40L and upwards, and in five days after they sold, by public auction, so much of the silk plush as satisfied their demands for a presumed income-tax upon my trade for the year 1844, ending 1845—not upon a real income, but upon their presumption of my income for that year. Now, Sir, I did not receive the income. The Commis sioners have taxed me for that year ; consequently I re sisted the payment. If I bad received the income, I would have paid it on demand. I gave the Commissioner an exact account in figures (as near as I could come) of my income for that year, and as no person living but myself knows what my income is o I do conceive a great hardship has been dealt out to me in surcharging me above my statement; and in having my goods seized, car ried away, and sold by public auction by men that ought to protect me by securing to me just laws, administered by just men, is, I conceive, as great an oppression as any man can suffer. If you consider this case worthy a place in your valuable publication, you are at full liberty to m a k e use of all or any part of the same, - as I trust my name and address is a sufficient guarantee of its correctness. Springfield, near Manchester, Sept. 15. (Here follows the name of the writer, with his address.) DREADFUL MURDER AT BUENOS AY RES. The Buenos Ayres papers received by the Sultana bring accounts of several atrocious murders committed in or near that blood-stained city, and amongst them of the butchery of all the members of a Scottish family named Kidd, who were slaughtered in their own house, in the country, in the district of San Vicente, not far from General Rosas' country seat. This family con sisted of not less than nine persons, including several young children ! -but neither childhood nor innocence is any protection in a country in which murder has been reduced to a system, and made a common instrument of governing. It is impossible to tell, from the few parti culars given in the Buenos Ayrean papers, whether this atrocity was perpetrated by ordinary villians for the pur pose of plunder, or whether it was perpetrated by the cut-throats in the payment of the vilest Government on the face of the earth, to terrify Europeans resident in the Republic. The following are all the particulars which we can gather from the Buenos Ayrean papers : " A most horrible murder of a whole Scottish family (named Kidd) of nine persons, adults and children, has been perpetrated in the district of San Vicente. The justice of peace of the district immediately advised the chief of police of the event, who, on the same day (27th) forwarded a note to the judge in criminal cases, and in formed the Governor. His Excellency ordered on the same day that the justice of peace should continue the diligent researches which he had no doubt the justice had hitherto made to d scover and apprehend the bar barous wretches, holding him seriously responsible for the least neglect ; that circulars should be forwarded to all the justices of the peace of the country districts, besides those which had been sent by that of San Vi cente ; and that the chief of police should redouble his investigations and researches for the discovery and ap prehension of the ferocious murderers. On the same day (27th), an individual was apprehended on suspicion in the city, ani placed in the public gaol, at the disposal of the judge in criminal cases, who will occupy himself in this matter in preference to every other. We know that the greatest activity and zeal prevail in order to arrive at the discovery and exemplary punishment of the authors and perpetrators of this atrocious crime to the end that justiee and public security may be satisfied." Since the above article was in type, we have seen a gentleman w h o l earne d a ll t h e partic ulars of this mon strous crime from one of the first persons who entered the house after it was committed. He informs us that Mr. and Mrs. Kidd were found in bed with their throats cut from ear to ear ; that the nurse, a young woman of abcut twenty, was found dead on the floor, also with her throat cut, and s till c li ng i ng to an infant which had been mur dered in the same manner ; that a little boy, about four years of age, who had evidently attempted to escape, was found behind the door, with his head nearly severed from his body ; and that every other member of the family had been butchered in the same manner. Our informant says that the universal belief was that this atrocious crime originated-in political motives, and was the result of the malignant hatred of foreigners, which General Rosas has taken so much pains to excite.---Liverpool Times. CHRIST CHURCH HOSPI CAL.--On Monday next, the 22d inst., being the day after St. Matthew's Day, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs, with the Governors of the several royal hospitals, will attend Divine service at Christ's Church, Newgate street, when a sermon will be preached by the Rev. W. H. Guille mard, M.A., Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge i • after which, they will proceed to the Great Hall of Christ's Hospital, where four orations will be delivered, according to annual custom, by the four senior scholars, on the benefits of the royal hospitals; that in Latin by Edward Tudor Scargill ; that in English by Gowen Edward Evans ; that in Greek by William F. Greenfield; and that in French by G. Voigt. Eight poems Will also be recited by the other senior scholars, viz. :—A Latin Alcaic Ode, on "The Nornien Conquest," by T. J. Potter; a Greek lambic translation of the first felft of "Bellal's Speech," from Milton, by M. Laing, an English Ode, on China, by T. S. Polehampton ; Latin Hexameters, a translation from Pope's " Windsor Forest," by E. Hayman ; Greek lambics, " The Address of Regulus to the Roman Senate," by E. A. Newton; Latin Elegiacs, on the Murder of the Two Young Princes in the Tower, by C. E. Searle ; Greek Sapphics, on the Queen's late Visit to Christ's Hospital, by J. D. Williams; and an English poem, on the Fall of Babylon, by W. A. Russell. SIR GEORGE HAYTER.—SiT George Hayter con tinues in a progressive state of convalescence from the unfor tlliiate railway aceidetit of the 28th of July last, and will soon be enabled to resume his professional engagelnents, pre viously to going to Italy. Vauxhall and Cremorne-house gardens were both closed on Tuesday, in consequence of the inclemency of the weather Szarous ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday, about half-past eleven o'clock, as Mr. F. Johnstone, licensed victualler, ofKingsgate- Street, Holborn, was returning from Lee races, in a phaeton, in com pany with Mr. Ireland, the ale brewer of Hungerford-market, and a gentleman of the name of Irving, the horse, which is a very spirited one, in passing the Lyceum Theatre, suddenly took fright, and the three were thrown out, Mr. Johnstone coining with considerable violence to the ground. He was picked up bleeding profusely from the head, but, pertinaciously refusing to be taken to the hospital, he was conveyed to the house of a friend, Mr. James, the proprietor of the Sir John Falstaff Tavern, Brydges-street, when a medical gen tleman having been sent for, his wounds were dressed. Mr. Johnstone remains in a dangerous state. Some scoundrel, taking advantage of the accident, made off with a new great coat belonging to Mr. John stone, and also a valuable mounted gold cane. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CITY MERCHANT.—Tues day, a gentleman, named Mordaunt, who carried on business in an extensive way as a merchant in the City, expired in Charing cross Hospital from injuries he had received by being thrown from an omnibus. It appears that about four weeks since Mr. Mordaunt was proceeding down the Strand, seated on the front of an om e n f ib t u h s e , when, by some unexplained cause, one of the fore wheels with vehicle r e e f e violence.ff , ed the A deceased sistsee precipitated . re(l ,the eo unfortunate rt n ground nat being lvas pro ascertained that one of his legs had been severelyfractured. gentleman was conveyed to Charing-cross Hospit and attention was paid him and hopes were enter tained w here 1 31 e was ry an unexpected change of his recovery, but on Sunday for some time he .. appearedby te tt surgeons of we the establishment, Mor daunt was about thirty-seven years of age, a took place, which terminated in death, as before ico,irew was stated .highly DelsrieeMmoedr n I Sunday last Mrs. amongst THß E a E nu p me E r ß ous sco c N ir S ci D e of connexions and si friends ht the City.

About seven in evening they left in a waterman's boat, with the inten tion of returning to Plymouth. On Monday morning Mr. Findlater, the foreman of the works, shortly after land ing, discovered the body of the lad, with a basket under his arm, on the northern side of the Breakwater, near the Jetty. This discovery was the first intimation which Mr. Graham had of his loss.

One pf the most frightful ciectifteileea that has lately occurred,:hap ' petted thp, in,:ning In the Royal Arsenal, at Woolwich. A few minutes before JO teeloe' - a loud explosion was heard in the laboratory department, at it k now ,; as No. 1 breaki»g=Up shed, and as sistance was immediately tit ham:, the men rushing from various parts of the departllient to the spot. AS soon as ingress could be obtained a fearful spectacle presented itself. Iffunediately behind the doar, crowded together in a confused heap, lay the scorched bodies of five men and two boys. These were immediately removed to an adjacent shed on stretchers. The building being on fire, the alarm-bell was rung, and the engines from the different departments, with the Royal kapperS and Miners and Royal Artillery, were speedily on the spot. The Parries, by the exertions of the men, were soon subdued, their ravages being confined to the building, the roof of which had been already blown off, and some slight damage done to the roof of an adjacent building. It would appear from what has been gleaned in other parts of the sane department (for not one of the unfortunate beings in the devoted building has esCemed to furnish any information), that the men and boys were at the time em ployed in breaking up rockets, and, through some friction, the whole mass accidentally ignited, thus at once consigning seven unfortunate individuals to instant destruction. The names of the persons who thus lost their lives are John Craig (master), an aged man, and one of the oldest servants in the department, Henry Butters, an aged man with a large family, and his son Henry Butters, a young married man, Robert liurbage, and Michael Purtell. Four of these were what is called laboratory men. In addition to these, two boys, named Robert Leonard and Henley, lost their lives. Purtell was a labourer belonging to the storekeeper's department, and was engaged at the time in loading rockets. A man named William Reed, who was engaged with him at the same time, had a very narrow escape. It would appear, that when the fatal occurrence took place, the unfortunate persons made a sinialtaneous rush towards the door. Unfortunately, the doors opened inwards, and to this cir cumstance some of the chief officers of the establishment attribute their destruction. By the side of the doorout of which they had vainly endeavoured to escape their blackened corpses were ihtind. The writer visited them shortly afterwards, and they presented a Mtrful proof of the dreadful agent to which they had been exposed. Their clothes, and even their boots, were either wholly or partially con sumed, their bodies literally roasted, and the flesh in many cases deeply inci ed ; every vestige of hair was consumed off their heads, and their features so disfigured as to render identification almost impos sible. As soon as the fire was subdued, a party of the Royal sappers and Miners, under the command of Colonel Barney, R.E., one of the heads of the department, and Lieutenant and Adjutant Webb, R.E., proceeded to pull down the remaining parts of the shed, many of which were in a dangerous state. The remains of a dog were dis covered in one corner of the building. It was the opinion of a me dical gentleman who viewed the bodies, with the writer, that death took place from asphynta, suffocation by carbonic acid gas. NAVAL RETIREMENT.—We understand that the senior commanders at the naval ports, and in the metropolis, are preparing a memorial to the Right Hon. the Earl of Had dington, soliciting of his Lordship the recognition of the jus tice add expediency of applying to them the same principle of retirement which has been recently bestowed on the veteran post captains. The journeyman shoemakers of Marseilles have struck for an advance of wages, particularly on the new articles introduced into their trade since the year 1833. Some of the masters have given way, acid the workmen have expressed their readiness to submit their demands to the prefect or the mayor. l'avrsTocx.—On Friday night last, while the miners of North Maria mine were sinking about 10 fathoms under the surface, which is near Wheel Maria (so abundantly rich as to teturn nearly 10,000/. profit per month), they dis covered a very rich lode of copper, which promises the ad venturers good profits upon their outlay. The lode had the appearance of being closely allied to the sister mine. Many of the shares in this mine are held by tradesmen in Tavi stock and Plymouth, but the gfeater part by a gentleman of Plymouth, John Bayly, Esq., and the owner of the land, John Davis, Esq.—Devonport Telegraph. THE WHIRLWIND AT ROUEN.—We have already stated that the owners of the property destroyed near Rouen, by the whirlwind of the 19th ult., have brought an action for in demnity against the insurance companies, on the ground of the calamity having been occasioned by electricity, in which ease it Is contended that the companies are liable, the policies bearing the following words :—" The company insures against fire, and against the fire of heaven, and the damage which may result." Strong evidence of the presence of electricity, which is the fire of heaven alluded to in the policies, has already been offered, but the com panies contend that the losses of the insurers were the result of a storm of wind, and not of lightning. This is the point to be de cided by the Tribunal; but, in the meantime, it may not be unin teresting to allude to a suit by the owners of the property destroyed in a similar way at Cette, on the 231 of October last. The question having been brought before the Tribunal of Commerce of Mont pelier on the 10th of December, the Tribunal ordered that a corn. mission of scientific men should be formed, to report as to whether electricity was present in such a way as to give the assured the benefit of the clause in their policies respecting " the fire of heaven." The report has been drawn up, and sent to the Tribunal, but it has not yet been read.—Rouen paper. JENNY LIND.—A German paper states that this celebrated vocalist, who has created such a furore in various parts of Germany, made her debilt at Cologne on the 20th ult. in the opera of Norma. Notwithstanding the prices of admission were trebled, the theatre was filled to overflowing. The fair cancatrice was called before the curtain, and applauded to the echo, at the termination of each act of the opera. The greater portion of the enthusiastic audience consisted of English, many of whom have signified their intention of following Jenny Lind from place to place. She is to appear next it Frankfort WOOLWACM, SEPT. 16.—The Princess Alice steam vessel, Mr. L. Smithett, Master-Commander, arrived this morning from Dover to be refitted, and her commander and crew will proceed to Dover in the Swallow steam-vessel, to resume the duties at that station. The Black Eagle steam vessel, Mr. S. Black, Master Commander, arrived this morn ing from the Isle of Wight, and will occupy her usual station opposite the Dockyard, Woolwich. Commander John B. Purvis, recently commander of the Alfred, 60 guns, and Captain Grace, with several other naval officers, have been named as anxious to obtain the command of the Grampus, 50 guns, fitting at Woolwich. Several of the arrangements connected with this fine vessel have been made under the direction of Captain Grace, who was deputed by the Ad miralty to see them effected. Some idea may be formed of the great strength of the Terrible steam-vessel, when it is stated that the diameter of the axles of the paddle• wheels in their brass beds, is one foot nine inches, and the length of the stroke of the engines eight feet; causing thirteen revolu tions of the powerful engines per minute. SCULPTURE ON THE C'ioNTlNENT.—Amongst the numerous additions making to the splendour of the square of the Opera, in Berlin, the following sculptural embellishments are spoken of as in project or preparation. Gigantic groups of warriors, and of Victory," are executing, after the de signs of Schinkel, for the Royal Bridge ; and the same artist is making designs for the ornament of the Guard-house. On the side of the Unter den Linden, the monument of Fre- ' derick the Great is proceeding rapidly—Rauch having nearly completed its numerous figures. Opposite the colossal eques trian status of that -monarch, it is proposed to place a simi lar statue of Frederick William 111. To the statues of the Generals Bulow and" Stliarnhorif tit the Guard-house are to be added those of Kleist and Tauenzien • beside Blucher, to be placed bronzed statues 'of GeneralGneisenau and York; and the Palace of the Princesses is to be ornamented with statues of Stein and Hardenburg. For all these works Rauch, it is said, has already receiyed the royal command. The Austrian Emperor, on the occasion of his coronation at Milan, as King of the Lombards, gave a number Of ,omsnia sions to the most distinguishecti of the Milanese sculptors, leaving them perfect latitude in^the choice of subject These works, to the number of Seven, ari . n6w exhibiting in Vienna :—A statue of "Peace," by Cajetano ; a " Prodigal Son," by Albondio Sangorgio ; an " Infant Jesus," by Ri naldoßinaldi ; " Rachel and Jacob at the Well ;" a figure of a " Fate," by Croft*; and two by the Professor Pompeo Mar chesi—one a bust of the poet Monti, and the other a group on the old theme of " Venus carrying off the weapons of Love." We may mention here that the marbles of the Pyrenees are coming into use for the supply of the large works executing in Prussia, Twelve fine columns of the marble of Campan have just been finished at Bagneres de Bigorre, for the Museum at Berlin. The monument decreed by the Stated of Bohemia to be erected to the memory of the Emperor Francis iStieg-tid, It is to be an equestrian statue of the monarch, invested in his robes as King of Bohemia; and will be ornamedted with twenty=fotir statuettes repre senting the circles of the kingdom, the capital, and allegorical allusions. The whole is to be seventy-five feet high, LYCEUM THEATUE.—On Monday evening, atter the deservedly successful drama of The Governor's Wife, the admirable burlesque of Open Sesame; or, A Night with the Forty Thieves, was revived, and acted for the first time this season. lii the burlesque Miss G. Hodson made her debut. She is very pretty, and will no doubt prove an acquisition to the company at this theatre. Although suffering from extreme nervousness, she went through the part of Cogia with complete success. She possesatla S good voice, which will be heard to greater advantage when the timidity of it first appearunce wears off. She was deservedly encored in most of her sotigd, Mrs. Keeley, of course, acted the part of Morgiana, as she alone can act. Keeley, as the brave Hassarac, Wa.i as droll and humorous as ever, and kept the house in a continual laugh. Miss Fairbrother was of course the Captain. Frank Mathews and Wigan each took their original parts. It would be unjust not to mention the doings of " the forty." The gallant and devoted band went through their perforin ance with great military skill and precision, and were rewarded with great applause, which was richly deserved. Great credit is due to their drill-sergeant for the pains he has taken itith them. The re vival is a decided hit. The house was crowded to sufrocatimi, F 00T-RACING AT IN ALWORTIL—UII Tuesday the Beehive Cricket-ground, at Walworth, was very largely attended by the admirers of the recreative sport of pedestrianism, who were highly gratified by witnessing the prizes contested by some of the most supe rior runners. -The first race was for a handsome silver snuff-box, con tested in heats over 100 yards. The entries were—Glenn, Mak piece, Exeter, Bertram, Smith and Pattersons, novices, Martin, Mor timer, Weaver, and Brompton. Martin, Makpiece, and Weaver, who were the several winners, then ran the grand heat, and after a spirited race, Martin won the prize. Second prize—A silver snuff box, which was walked for by eleven men, and the distance being seven miles ; after two miles, several of the competitors fell into the reaf.fank, and the race was made by Jacques, Haynes, and Willet, who struggled hard for the trophy, and which terminated by Jacques coming in first, and Turner second. The walking of Jacques was much admired, and he performed the seven miles in one hour and ten minutes, fair toe and heel.— Tint EGG Minn.—The novel feat undertaken by Molloy, jun. (a lad of sixteen), and which was to clear one hundred eggs from the ground, they being laid in a line at a yard apart, to go down and pick up one egg with his mouth, and convey it in this manner to one end and de posit it in a tub of water, and ninon the whole within fifty minutes, for 101., came off yesterday. The stripling entered upon his hercu lean task with great activity, descending to the ground and rising with elasticity, and bounding away with the egg to its destina tion. He made repetition one hundred times, and in the course of the match proved himself " a true chip of the old block," and finally concluded his undertaking in forty-eight minutes, thus winning by two minutes, and covering five miles and three quarters (less twenty yards) within the stipulated time. The weather was very unpro pitious, notwithstanding which the youngster achieved the stakes. ELOPEMENT.—Tuesday morning, a young lady, residing with her parents in the Kennington-road, eloped with a gen tleman from her home. The family were thrown into considerable alarm and anxiety by her sudden disappearance ; but about twelve o'clock her father received a letter from the ftigitive, informing hair of her marriage. The young lady is about eighteen year : ° a f i g e;a . ti v possessed of considerable property in her own right, THE RECENT ACCIDENT AT SIR C SHALL AND Co.'s.—Tuesday ‘f morning. rsh :IlLa lP n e N itid to o n A . : l ; 7 a 9, l m l ti l a A p il p ß e lf - r i the employ of Sir Chap Thames-street, who rece-imveadnso—s4e-riouasil an inj d ury on the previous day, by fracturing his skull from a fall into a cellar beneath one of the warehouses, an account of which appeared in The Sun of yester day, expired at it. Th omas's Hospital, only surviving the accident a few hours. The poor fellow has left a widow and family to ament his untimely end. A man named Cirier has been condemned to death by the Court of Assizes of the Aisne for setting fire to the house in which' his wife and his mother-in-law resided, with the intention of burning them to death. He confessed his crime, and said he had pre viously made three unsuccessful attempts. The intended victims wore with difficulty rescued from the fate that threatened them. CORONER'S INQUEST.—The person who was found drowned on Saturday, in the river Avon, near Rugby, proves to be Mr. Dearlove, of the firm of Dearlove and Fenton, of Leeds. He was seen on Saturday on the borders of the river, and soon after his wig, coat, and waistcoat, .were found hung on to his walking-stick ; and his body was seen by Mr. Montague, one of the Rugby scholars, his pocket floating on the water. I n was found a letter to his wife, and a bottle of laudanum, of which, however, he had taken none. He had also loaded his pockets with stones. Heavy payments arising seem to have driven him to this awful alternative. He was about 55 years of age, and has left a widow to mourn over this rash con clusion of an industrious life.

THE CORN TRADE. (From the Mark-lane Express.) With the exception of a few partial showers in different parts of the country, the weather has continued uninterruptedly fine ; harvest operations have conse quently been rapidly proceeded with, and in most of the southern counties the bilk of the corn has been carried. In the north of England there is still a considerable quantity of grain abroad ; but the lately experienced sunny days have brought the crops forward amazingly, and in situations where, a month back, it was feared the corn would never arrive at maturity, the sickle has lately been actively employed. On the whole, our pros pects as to the future have undergone an immense im provement since the 20th of August, but to suppose that the evil effects of a decidedly wet summer have bee* entirely remedied would be altogether unreasonable. That a great proportion of the wheat of this year growth will be of inferior quality, and light weight, is unquestionable ' • nor is it possible that the defi ciency from the defective set of the ear, so gene rany complained of, can have been made good ; we must therefore adhere to the opinion already expressed on former occasions, viz., that besides the falling off in meal in consequence of ale want of weight and otherwise inferior mealing properties of the berry, the acreable produce will be found short of an average. It is yet too early to form anything like an accurate estimate as to the extent of the deficiency. Many parties rate it much above what we are inelined to do, and others deny that the crop will fall at all below an average ; in this !date of uncertainty we feel incli ne d to reserve our opinion until something more definite shall have been ascertained by the test of thrashing than is at present known ; but that there is a deficiency, to a greater or less extent, we feel perfectly convinced. Public opinion has lately been so much occupied in investigating the result of the wheat harvest that comparatively little is said of spring corn or pulse, but in the absence of com plaints it is fair to infer that there is not much amiss either as regards quality or quantity. In judging of the probable value of wheat during the ensuing winter, the injury which potatoes have suffered in many of these districts where this article is most ex• tensively grown must not be overlooked. Until lately the blight, or to whatever else the failure is attributable, was supposed to have extended no further than the south of England and the Channel Islands. Within the last week, however, complaints have reached us from Lin colnshire, Cambridgeshire, and Yorkshire, from which it would appear that the extent of the ravages made by the disease is not yet ascertained. Considering how large a portion of food of all classes consists of potatoes, so ex tensive a failure must be regarded as a great calamity. Already prices have risen considerably, and it is certain that if the mischief should prove anything like so extensive as it is represented to be, the consumption of bread stuffs must be increased enormously. These considerations lead to the conclusion, that though no material advance may occur in quotations of wheat immediately, the article may hereafter rise in value. In speaking of potatoes, we omitted to mention one important fact, viz., that orders have been received here from Holland and Belgium for the pur chase of the article at very high rates, whilst their ex port has been prohibited by the Government of the last named country. We have heard it reported, on good authority, that a contract has already been closed at Poole to ship 1,000 tons to Holland. The export of agricultural produce from England to the Continent is certainly a new feature. The wheat trade has, since our last, assumed a firm tone, and at several of the leading provincial markets slightly enhanced terms have been obtained for fine qualities ; the advance insisted on by sellers has, how ever, tended to check the demand, and the actual trans actions have been rather on a restricted scale. At Liverpool, on Tuesday, only a retail business was done in wheat, but the sales effected were at rates id. to 2d. per 70Ib. above those of that day se'nnight ; subse quently the inquiry rather subsided, but the advance was well maintained on Friday. The accounts from the principal town in Yorkshire are not of a very lively character. Neither at Hull nor Leeds was any:rise on former terms established on Tues day ; there was, however, much less anxiety to press sales than had been apparent the preceding week. At Wakefield, on Friday, holders of wheat demanded Is. to 2s. per quarter more for the best qualities, and the im provement was in some instances realised. From the west and north-west we have advices of ad vancing prices. .elt Bristol, on Thursday, new wheat was quoted from ss. 9d. to 6s. 3d. per 601 b., being a rise on previous terms. At Birmingham, on the same day, holders declined selling except at is. to 2s. per quarter above the currency of that day week, and needy buyers were under the necessity of paying the enhancement. At the chief shipping ports on the east coast the turn has also been against the purchaser, and on the whole a decided check may be said to have been given to the downward movement. By our letters from Scotland it appears that the west• they had continued auspicious for bringing the crops to maturity in the backward districts, and securing those in the more forward localities. There, as with us, the wheat is stated to be short in quantity and indifferent in quality; but complaints as to potatoes are, we are happy to say, comparatively rare. The advices from Ireland are also, happily, silent on the subject of the potato blight. Business in grain had, it appeared, remained quiet, as well in the Scotch as the Irish markets ; but consider able firmness had been displayed by the holders of wheat and oats, and prices had rather tended upwards than otherwise in both countries. The quantity exhibited at Mark-lane by land carriage samples from the home counties has been trifling, and the greater part of what has come to hand has been of this year's growth. On Wednesday the Kent stands were nearly bare, and from Essex and 6uffolk only a few runs were shown. The new wheat, though by no means of fine quality, was more sought after than old, owing to th e p r i ce o f th e former being somewhat below that of the l a tt er . B o th kinds were held at fully the currency of Monday last, and at the close of business little remained unsold-. _ On Friday increases firmness was displayed by fac tors ; they could not succeCd, however, in obtaining any advance on former terms. Malt has latterly become very diftctilt of disposal, and only choice samples have this week obtained former terms, it having been necessary to submit to a small abatement to effect sales of the common runs. The total arrival of oats, inclusive of foreign, has amounted to 11,662 quarters. Of this quantity 850 quarters are • from our own coast, 781 quarters from Ireland, and the remaining 10,031 quarters from abroad. The bare state of the market, the failure in the potato crop, and the probability that oatmeal will therefore be more extensively used than in ordinary years, have combined to give an impetus to prices of oats, and within the last few weeks good qualities have risen Is. to Is. 6d. per quarter. Of English and Scotch feed there are scarcely any to be had. The best sorts of Irish have therefore been taken by consumers, whilst the dealers have been compelled to have recourse to free foreign. Archangel oats, which were currently sold on the Ist inst. at 20s. 6d. per quarter from on board ship, duty paid, have this week commanded 21s. 6d. to 225. per quarter ; and Danish, Swedish, &c., have risen in value to nearly the same extent. As yet there is not much prospect of a decline in the duty, but unless in creased supplies shortly reach us, there is some probabi lity of a fall occurring. The arrivals of English beans have about kept pace , - 7,lth,he demand, and no quotable variation has occurred in prices. Peas of all descriptions have been firmly held at the currency of Monday. Most of the bonded peas on the market have been bought for shipment to Holland ; the rise which took place in the duty on Thursday is there fore of little importance. SUICIDE IN A STATioN*HOUSE.—FELO-Da- SE. "-' On Monday evening, at the conclusion of the inquiry relative to the melancholy death of Mrs. Theobald, of Dawn Lodge, near Hounslow, Mr. Mills, the deputy coroner, proceeded to the Greyhound, at Staines, to hold an inquest on the body of Matthew Bond, aged seventy-three, who destr L ed t he M e l l o w in the police-station at the last-named place, In! _ ing circumstances :—lt appeared from the evidence t n h d at h th ad e d be e e c t e a f s r e e d q , u e n tl.thoughconvicted n o old c i t n ed y . ea f f r e s ; o w n y, b as as in crime, ywould a seem, he carried on his miserable existence. On Friday night last, about twelve o'clock, the policeman on duty near the premises of Mr. Harris, farmer, in the above village, discovered the deceased emerging from an outhouse. He immediately went up to him, and on laying hold cf his collar, he dropped from beneath his coat a fowl, which, on subsequent inspection, proved to be the property of Mr. Harris. Deceased, on being conveyed to the station-house, was locked up in a cell by . himself. The man on duty during the night looked in se veral times and saw nothing wrong ; but on the cell being entered in the morning, deceased was discovered with hie handkerchief tied tightly round his neck and fastened to the' gas pipe, which passed about half way along the wall. Th: handkerchief was extended, and the deceased was lyhigo his stomach on the floor. He was immed iatel y extricated from his position and a medical m an sent for, who t i m e extinct. It further pro nounced life to have been for som e assigned for his committing of insanity, and the only r eason a se nt out of the country. The appeared that the deceased had never si e v inced any symptoms the rash act was the fear of being fel° de se, iccor danc with some time on a the evidence ad duced, returned a verdict o f jury having deliberated f last night buried by which the body of the decease d was t orc hlight, and without funeral rights. .lUlt• MATHESON, OF A DINNER TO CHANY, --On Wednesday, the 27th ofAugust, the inhabitants of Stor noway invited their worthy landlord to dinner, when about one hundred gentlemen sat down, at five o'clock, Mr. Ro derick Morrison, banker, in the chair, supported on the right by Mr. Matheson, Lieutenant Percival, R.N., Professor Gor don, Mr. Smith, of Deanstone, and Mr. Caunter ; on the left, C by ha t m he be ß r e la v in .

D. Munro, Mr... D. L. Mackenzie, Mr. John Mackenzie, Mr. D. Macdonald,. Mr. Alexander Morrison, Mr. Jeffreys, &c. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts had been given from the chair, the company were delighted to observe Mrs. Matheson and a party of elegantly-attired ladies enter the hall. Mr. Mathe son stated, that one of his first endeavours would be to draw forth the energies of the natives. He has engaged a High land factor, and is resolved to employ Highlanders on all oc casions, when practicable. The Inverness Courier says that the principal object must be the drainage of the moss lands, which forms so large a portion of the island. Thig the cotters have neither capital nor skill to effect, but a judicious advance of money by the proprietor will be of the utmost importance. The system of Mr. Smith, of Deanston (who has been con sulted on these improvements), will no doubt be adopted and. enforced under proper superintendence, the tenants paying a small per centage for the outlay. The speech of Mr. Smith, of Deanston, was also directed to these practicable topics.. The " barren heaths and brown bents" of the island, be says,. " are capable of cultivation and bearing grain, and the fisheries may be ,prosecuted on a more extended scale with great success." . By liberally promoting such undertakings, Mr. Matheson will, indeed, confer, solid benefits on WS country.— Caledonian Mercury.

The late hour at which tha racing terminated caused late dinners, and business, in consequence, was not resumed until after nine o'clock. The room was crowded to suffocation, vast numbers who would have saved their guineas had the weather been dry, being driven in by the rain. The heat was excessive, and the consequent demand for ices—a new idea here—excessive.

PRICE OF GOLD. —The premium on gold at P ar i s is 14 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 178. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 50 ; and the exchange at Pans on London at short being 25 57i, it follows that gold is 0.29 per cent. dearer in Lond on than in Paris. By adv ices from Ha mburgh, the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 104, it follows that gold is 0.29 per cent. dearer in London than in Ilamburgh. The course of ex change at New York on London is 110 per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.43 per cent. in favour of England . But the q uote d exchange at New York being for bills at six t y days' sight, the i n t erest must he added to the above difference. DEATH FROM EXCESSIVE DRINKING.—On Tuesday Mr. J. Payne held an inquest at the Fountain Tavern, Redcross street, Cripplegate, on the body of John Ford, aged thirty-one years. The deceased was a carpenter, but bad not followed his trade for the last three years. He obtained a scanty livelihood by hawking brooms about the streets for sale. lie generally spent the whole of his money in rum and beer, and was in the habit of leading a dissipated life. On Monday he went into a beer -shop in Whitecross-street very much intoxicated, and soon after was taken ill. air. J. W. Mason, sur geon, was called in; but life was quite extinct. The surgeon was of opinion that the deceased's death had been accelerated by hard drinking. The jury returned a verdict of "Death from excessive drinking:' •
