The property was mortgaged to secure the repayment of 100/. lent to - the respondent, but the mortgage did not extend to the payment of interest on the loan. The mortgage recited that the loan had been obtained some time previously, but that all interest on the sum had been paid up to the date of the deed. It was contended that the land was not of the yearly value of 40s. clear of nil charges and after payment of interest on the loan. The respondent, on the other hand, contended that the in terest was not chargeable on the estate, which had only been mortgaged as security for the principal, and that he had sufficient interest in it to entitle him to a vote. The Revising Barrister held that there was no charge on the land operating, in abo lition of the annual value to the respondent, so as to affect his right to be registered, and as the mortgagee had not taken possession of the estate, he was entitled to have his name on the register. Against that decision the present appeal was instituted. Mr. CORNER contended, on behalf of the appellant, that the decision of the Revising Barrister ought to be reversed, and referred to the case of Copeland v. Bart lett in support of his preposition. The opinion of the Court in that case was that a member of a building so ciety, who purchased a garden And cottage, and mort gaged them to the society as security for the pay ment of the principal advanced to him and interest, was not entitled to a vote, though he had possession of the property, and had never failed to pay his regular instalments during the time he had Leen in occupation. The circumstances in that appeal were almost entirely similar to those in the present case, with the exception that the mortgage did not extend to the payment of interest. Mr. Sergeant BYLES submitted that the decision of the Revising Barrister was quite correct. The COURT was of opinion that the respondent had not a freehold estate worth 408. a year clear of all de ductions and charges, and consequently that his name ought to be expunged from the register. The Revising Barrister's decision was therefore re versed. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) . (Bofors Mr. Justice PATTESON.) The grand jury for the term were sworn in and ad dressed'' by the Learned JUDGE this morning. His Lordship told them that it was customary to swear in two grand juries every term, but at present be was not aware of there being anything at all for them to do, nor was it likely that there would be, as it was usual to pre fer common indictments in the Central Criminal Court, aad only cases of misdemeanour for keeping disorderly houses, perjury, assaults, and conspita-y, were brought into this court. Up to that hour, however, none had been preferred, nor was it likely that any would be, at least he hoped not, and their duties would therefore be merely of a formal character. The grand jury then retired. HILL V. PARTRIDGE. Mr. DOWDESWELL moved in this case for a rule to show cause why the peremptory undertaking to proceed to trial should not he enlarged. The Learned Gentleman moved on an affidavit declaring the fact that he was unable to find a material witness, whose evidence was indi4penlably necessary for establishing his claim. The name of the witness was John Thomas. He wae.a miner, working in the Oak Farm Mines, near Dudley, but the plaintiff was ignorant of his nick name, by which he ,was known amongst his own fraternity. Miners, the affidavits stated, were only known to each other by those sobriquets, and until the plaintiff discovered John Thomas's fictitious cognonien it would be impossible to find him cut.—Application granted. BANKRUPTCY,—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) IN RE CAPTAIN WARNER. In this caso bail was tendered on behalf of Captain Warner, and Mr. Donaldson, of Finsbury, was accepted in the sum of 5001, and Mr. Bliss, accountant of Moor gate'street, was appointed by the Commissioner to make up the accounts. The other cases were audit and dividend meetings pro forma. BOW 7 STREET. 7 -(THIS DAY.) J. Leonard and VV. Daniels (young men) were charged before Mr. Jardine, with cheating with a false instru ment of gaming (capped coin), and also with hocussing and robbery. It appeared that last night the prisoners were together drinking in the Shades, at Charing-crass, and com menced tossing. They continued to toss, and persuaded a man present, named Wilsey, a gentleman's servant, to join in the gambling. From small sums the stakes ran up to 51., and ultimately the servant was induced to stake his watch. He lost, but the waiter of the Shades hap pening to come in, and observe for the first time some thing of what was going on, went for a policeman and gave them into custody, the capped coin with which they had been tossing being secured. Upon searching them another watch was found upon them. Another charge of a more serious nature was brought against them by a young man named William Gould, who stated that he accidentally fell into company with the prisoners in the Strand, and accompanied them to a public-house near Whitehall, called the Duke of Wel lington. There the two 'prisoners commenced tossing, first for drink, and then for shillings. On one of the prisoners going out of the room, the other, showed Gould the capped piece, which was so contrived as to enable the person using ito to turn " heads" or! ";tails" at will, according to the' call aids' opponent Ana this prisoner advised the witness against : his ab sent companion, to win hrs'watch arid Money from him. For this purpose, Gould•was to stake his watch against Leonard's, and he accordingly pulled out his watch, but ou reflection put it back again. In reply to Mr. JARDINE, Gould said that he had seen the false piece before he pulled out his watch, but ho finally refused to have anything to do with them. From that place they went, in company with a fourth perion, into Spring gardens, and there the prisoners again began to toss in an open place near the park. Here witness sank on the ground insensible, and, upon coming to his senses, dis• covered that the prisoners and his watch were gone. One of the watches found on the prisoner was his. Ho had no doubt they had drugged his drink at the public-house. The police-officers found upon the prisoners an I 0 U, which Gould acknowledged he had signed in the name of " Thomas Junes," for 51., and the prisoners alleged that the watch was given them in discharge of it. The MAGISTRATE remanded the prisoners till Tues day next. MEXICO. A " norther" off Tampico prevented the Clyde bringing any mail from Mexico to Saint Thomas; and our Gulf correspondent says :—" During the seasons of the norths Tampico bar is not passable for days together, and the authorities there know this, but will not take advantage of sending a mail oft' when the weather is fine, that they may keep the packet to her full time; and the new arrangements of the mail steamers will not allow them to remain an hour after their time of departure; and unless the consul or postmaster take advantage of the weather England will frequently be without mails from that place between the months of October and March." The news from Jamaica has been anticipated. It appears, however, that 28 had died from cholera at Port Royal. This fearful malady had caused great anxiety amongst the inhabitants. The ships of war Indefatigable and Bermui have sent 150 men to the hospital with fever caught at Grey Town. GREY TOWN, MOSQUITA, OCT. 3.—Reports are in circulation that the Nicaraguans were to make an attempt to recover Grey Town, and as large numbers of Mexicans were constantly on the passage up the river en route to and from California, they have thought to encourage the Nicaraguans. As they are not allowed to squat or build huts as at Chagres, the Americans are much annoyed at this. The American steamers intended to move on Lake Nicaragua have both grounded in the river, and it is doubtful if they will reach the lake. Steamers that are intended for this purpose should not exceed eighty feet long. The West India papers generally concur in repre senting the weather to have been extremely wet, the preva lence of rain in some localities occasioning damage to pro. perty. On the average agricultural pursuits were being fol lowed out with success, and the prospects of the next crop were somewhat encouraging. Sickness was'complained of at Barbadoes and St. Lucia, as resulting from the state of the weather, since, notwithstanding the frequency of showers, the heat continued extremely oppressive. The outbreak of cholera at Jamaica bad been officially announced, but it was hoped that by due exertions its ravages would be checked. In Trinidad attention had been turned to the cultivation of cotton—an experiment that appeared likely to be attended with success. Emigration to the gold districts in Yuruary would;it was apprehended, be impeded by the measures which had been taken at the instance of the Venezuelan authorities to compel all parties seeking that district to ren der a lull and sufficient account of their characters and pre tensions before they would be permitted to pass into it. Busi ness was dull in the chief of the West India Islands. - Ter PoLisza BALL.—Yesterday the Polish Com mittee assembled at the Guildhall, for the purpose of making additional arrangements to carry into effect the ball, which is fixed for Thursday next, the 14th inst. Mr. Bunning, the City architect, was, it was stated, occupied in rendering the Guildhall still more magnificent, as regards the Italian con servatories and drawing-rooms, than at previous balls • and Mr. Carew, Mr. Marshall, and Mr. Weeks h a ve , u p on the ap plication of Lord Dudley Stuart, consented to leave their exquisite specimens of statuary in the hall until the day after the entertainment shall• have terminated. The commit tee decided that the floor of the Guildhall should be chalked in so slight and careful a manncr as to obviate any .complaint from the ladies on account of their dresses. The most sober flower will often blossom from the bud that has danced the most lightly in the sunbeam. — Eliza Cook's Journal. THE RECENT LOSS OF FOUR, LIVES ON THE RIVER. Yesterday Mr. C. C. Lewis the coroner for South Essex, resumed an inquiry at the Bell and Anchor Inn, Plaistow, respecting the d eat h o f Willi am J o h n Luck, aged 25, who with three others was drowned, by a boat in which they were coining in collision with the Duke of Cambridge (Cork) steamer, on the morning of the 17th ult. The evidence ad duced was of a very contradictory character, one class of wit nesses affirming that the accident would not have happened if there had been a proper look-out on board the steamer, while the other side were of opinion that the boat was managed recklessly, and as if ;the men in her were bent on destroying themselves. After half-an-hour's consideration the jury returned a verdict of "Manslaughter against William John Coe," the pilot who had charge of the Duke of Cambridge at the time of the accident. FOLKESTONE, Nov. 11.—On Saturday and Sunday 153 persons crossed the Channel from Boulogne to Folkestone in the South-Eastern and Continental Company's steam ships, and 53 from Folkestone to Boulogne. LYCEUM THE.A.TRE. LITERATURE. An adaptation of the comic opera Le Chaperan Blanc was produced here last evening, under the title of the White Hoods, and, although it is from the pen of Mr. P ache, was magnificently put en the stage, and bad the advantage of the inimitable acting of Mr. Charles Mathews, in a character analogous to the Simon Knippinclipper of Liston in Thirteen to the Dozen, yet it achieved only a partial success, al though, if judiciously curtailed, we think it might yet become a favourite. The scene is laid in Bruges in the troublous slays of the Van Arts veldes, and the White Hood, from which it takes its name, is the emblem of those " White-hoods" who, according to Froissart, completely revolutionized Flanders. Thus runs the plot :—Louis de Maele, Count of Flanders (Mr. George J. Vining), who, at the moment the piece opens, is threatened with an insurrection of the citizens of Ghent, conceives a passion for Marguerite (Miss Faany Baker), the daughter of Jan Vanbloos (dea con of the druggists of Ghent), and lays a plot for decoying her to his palace, where he expoe ts to attain the fruition of his wishes. In the mean time, Gilbert de Grossenha2rne (Mr. H. Horn castle) his pretended friend, who also has a design upon Marguerite, is in league with the White-hoods, or insurrectionist party, and at th:e same moment me ditates the destruction of the Cols nt in his palace, and the capture of the fair one. This last scheme is frus trated by Peter Pestlework (Me. Charles, Mathews), an apprentice to the druggist, who has assumed the badge of the white-hood without; knowing its signi ficance, and who, at the moment the Count's life is threatened by the insurrectionists, is instrumental in saving him. In acknowledgement, of this good service, the Countrenounces his own suit, I nd bestows the hand of Marguerite upon Peterrestlewoi •k,her. accepted lover. The piece was admirably actecli. Mr. Basil Baker, who made his first appearance he re last night, is an nexcellent representative of testr old men ; and his daughter, Miss Fanny Baker, is t ull of animation and vivacity, and makes an admirable soubrette. A novel scenic effect, and beautiful as it is novel, was intro duced in the first scene. The ac ene is the interior of the druggist's shop in the early morning ; the shut , tern are shut, and the shop is in darkness ; but as they are removed the light streams in, and the whole shop becomes illumine teed. This beautiful effect was loudly applauded. A grand fairy spectacle called the Romance of the Rose., was also produced last evening, and was most triuez phantly successful; the plot is very slight. A misa;: thropic Count (Mr. Clifford) is encouraged in his peg; ulisrity by a malig nant spirit, named the King of tb a Thorns (Miss Julia St. George), who attends him isa the Chevalier Le Sombre. The evil influence is counteracted by the Queen of the Roses (Miss Kenworthy), who corrects the Count whenever he vents his ill humour on his servant Hans (Mr. Suter), and by showing him a series of tableaux convinces him that the world is beautiful after all. These tableaux, for the sake of which the piece is evidently prod laced, consist of ele gant groups, arranged with great regard to pictu resque effect, and heightened by the beauty of the young ladies composing them. Each of them is an allegorical representation of one cif the four Rosicru clan elements, and the principle iss; a revolving hori zontal circle, familiar to the studie. of the sculptor and the audience of poses plastigues, iti applied, so that the group may be visible on every sisi e. The groupings, which are designed by Mr. Be v erly, are the most beautiful and graceful that can be imagined, and were applauded enthusiastically. Miss. Julia St. George was deservedly encored in a very la! etty song, composed expressly for her by Mr. 1:'ully ; and a like compliment was paid to Herr Pii; all, a German bass singer, who made his first appo arance here, and in the character of a goatherd sang a song, in which he sustains a shake on a high falsette ) note in a most re markable manner. Miss Rosina Wright and the ladies of the corps de ballet appears d in an exquisitely graceful pas, entitled the Revel of 'the Flowers. The dancing of .Miss Rosina Wright s as the very perfec tion of elegance and grace. The p iece was applauded throughout, and at the coaclusio n the cheers were enthusiastic. The house was ver' well attended. NEW NOVELS. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SINGLETON FONT.ENOY, R.N. By James Hannay. 3 Vols. THE L UTTR ELS. By Folkestone Williams. 3 Vols. CLAUDE.

Every month and every week of the vacati-At presents the reading public with some new fiction, complete in three volumes, or with some additional chapters of those published in a serial form. Rarely have the lovers of light literature been more bountifully provided than at the present moment, now when Dickens has given us the concluding chapters of one of the most de lightful of even his delightful works, and now, when Bulwer is unfolding the opening passages of that " novel" which promises to be the worthy companio.. of the " Caxtons. ' Thackeray's graphic pencil is still busied with the foibles and follies of our modern " Vanity Fair," and " Currer Bell," we doubt not, is keeping a shrewd watch on the deeds and misdeeds of her contemporaries, and preparing some new matter of astonishment and delight for her admirers. It is hardly necessary to enumerate all the names con spicuous in the varied and attractive list of novel writers who are now enriching us with the fruits of their genius and their industry —a list from which we still miss with regret the brilliant author of " Co ningsby," than whom we could better spare many others. The indefatigable James still plies his much used pen. Mrs. Trollope and Mrs. Gore are unex hausted ; and Mrs. Marsh, the charming authoress of " Emilia Wyndham," is even now adding another to her truthful records of woman's life and her exquisite delineations of womanly character. Miss Jewry, the able writer of the " Forest and the Fortress ; ' the earnest and deep-thinking author of " Silwood ;" Lady Yonsonby, the admirable expositor of the " Discipline of Life ;" the talented biographer of " Anne Dysart ;" the eloquent writer of " Mary Bsrton"—a work unequalled of its class—and many other of our young authors and authoresses, hold out fair promise for the future to the novel-read ing world. Bearing in mind these and other novels, and novel-writers, not here mentioned, we are disposed to examine with especial scrutiny, and perhaps with excessive severity, the new fictions which are from time to time presented to us. Differing, as the various productions of different writers necessarily must in style, and sentiment, and subject, there is one mea sure, nevertheless, by which we are disposed to test the merits of every fictitious tale, namely, in the truth fulness of its representation of life. While we must con fess we have little sympathy fora novel which is writ ten with sotne avowed and apparent object, we regard with especial predilection those fictions which simply, but faithrully hold the mirror up to nature, and without parade or ostentation, withou a t n e d xhi l b o i v t i i n n g g ly th ab e ow gra u ve s c o o f u t n b t e en s a c n b c o e ol o m f a th st e er, m , o g n e i n to t r ly , or wieldin g th e f erule what we are and what we should be—doing good by stealth, charming instead of chastising the wayward and undisciplined heart. Such novels there are. Such gentle lessons we have learned by the death bed of Dora, or in the humble boat-house on the Yar mouth sands. Such gentle lessons we have learned, when we followed the despairing Roland De Caxton in his melancholy pursuit of his profligate son, or when we listened to the words of simple wisdom falling from his brother's lips. Such novels there are. Why are there not more of them ? History is filled with a pompous chronicle of events, the causes of which she can seldom unravel, for those causes are often too in tricate or too minute to be perceptible to the most searching scrutiny. A spark produces a conflagra tion, and a word may sometimes occasion conse quences as important. " A something light as air—a look— A word unkind or wrongly taken"— may make or mar the happiness of a lifetime. And here it is that we hold the services of the novel writer to be invaluable. By his faithful portraiture of human life and human character, by showing us not " faultless monsters," but men and women like those actually around us, he may, if gifted with sufficient powers of penetration, reveal to us the secret but effectual agency of trifles, and make us know by example how momentous are the consequences of those words and actions which we are too apt to dis regard as insignificant. The influences of indivi dual character upon society are incalculable, and equally incalculable and important are the influences which mould that character for good and evil—influences as imperceptible as the air we breathe, but more potent than the lessons conned in childhood, or the homi lies pondered over in riper years. Many persons ob ject to " novel-reading," because it unfits those who indulge in it for the realities of life, bat when novel writing is what it should be novel-reading produces an opposite effect. So far from making life appear tame and insipid, it points out to us its real grandeur and importance. So far from inclining us to fold our bands in inaction, it impels us " so to act that each to rbfmaadu a: nf o a faithful n dd p morrow find us furth er th an to-day. " As the teachers of such practical t ru th s, we hold the position of novel writers to be m os t h onourable, and knowing them to possess such a ca p ac i ty for good, - we are apt to regard we h e e their desirecompositions see adviceicture s of or the admonition. withnovels filledc urio u with scrutiny. sermons, N o o n t that tie l contrary, some o f t h e very best hardly contain ti ° by n n ige t ho charm bdi word r in in s d tr i u f fe et re t n b t, ei t r h r a e t ad th e e r y s. at H t o h w e man same mean, unworthy act i ons that do not absolutely in omnaintion. heart, It as it in fringe the moral code the best of us are prone to commit,until, in considering some imaginary character in the selfishness of of a Waverl e y, a a Chuzzl ew it, or t h e irreso l ut i on voice seems to whisper, Mu,tato nomine de to fabula narratur.

Now Mr. Trollop e di rects our thoughts to the heroic struggles of Vendean loyalty, now Fenimore Cooper excites our interest by a tale Amer ic an of jurispru dence, now Alton Locke revives anew the difficulties and the delusions of Chartism; then Mrs. Crowe mys tifies and appa.s us with another revelation of horrors. Novels as various i n character as the colours of their binding (for the old-fashioned uniform is disappear ing) are before us. Among the most attractive of these miscellaneous fictions is the first novel (we have seen) of a promising writer. Singleton Fontenoy, ILN - . By James Hannay. 3 Yo/s. From the initial s appended to his name it w i ll be observed that " Si ng l eton Fonteno" forms part of e novel which the royal navy, and t h bears his name is, to a certain extent, a sea-story, but to a certain extent only. Land and water, p o litics and naval matters, the most ser i ous and the lightest topics, ar e touched upon with an equally skilful band, and re n ., dered equally att ract i ve. " Singleton F on t enoy " s, in the truth, reader i lures 0: from most page fascinating to work— without posse ss i ng deep interest, it any very page, from subject to subject, ne ver wearying, and continually affording amusement or su ggest i ng thoug ht. In the fi rst volume we find th e young S i ng l e t on at hom e i n a country house, with an unsoc i a ble father. In hi s neighbourh oo d res id es the fam il y . of the Lepels. The eldest s t op, Frederick Lepel, J ' l st' returned from college, , Wears spectacles to increase his apparent age, frequents Chartist meetings, and aspires to fill a pro minent political position. The character of this clever but insincere schemer is happily drawn, and is pro bably not without its counterpart. From politics we turn to school, after 5 stormy expulsion from which young Singleton is sent to s ea . Mr. Hannay's naval experience is visible in his sketches of the various commanders and companions with whom Singleton's sea-life makes him acquainted. In this part of the narrative occurs a most affecting episode, which better than a hundred argu ments exposes the horrors of the unmanly punish ment still retained for the sake of " discipline. One of the sailors of Singleton's ship is flogged, and the revolting scene is shortly afterwards followed by a sea funeral —that of the very man who had been punished (his death being the consequence of an accident quite irrespective of the punishment). Officers and sailors stand bareheaded round the corpse ; the utmost solem nity prevails ; every passible respect h testified to wards the corpse of him who, when alive, was,treated as some soulless brute—" Death had vindicated the sanctity of man." This beautiful sentence sums up the impressive lesson s o forcibly set forth by these contrasting scenes. Now in England, no w in the satiny south, now serious and thoughtful, now rash and reckless, Singleton pursues his varied career throughout three u delighLf . l volumes, and at last we part from him with regret. Many beautiful thoughts we might transcribe from the pages of this work — one or two will, however, serve as an ensample of the rest. Speaking of the infidel reasoning of the so-called phi losopher, how truthful is the sentence--" Philoso phical dreams are very well in the study, carry th em to your loved one's grave and see how they will console you there." Again, with equal felicity, it is said of those good impulses which occasionally influence us, they may be "vibrations of the heart under the touch of the finger of God." Among some sensible remarks on oratory, we read "the true orator is the poet of the practical; he has to bring a great imagi nation and a deep heart to deal with the business of his day, and by waking what:is necessary glorious, NOVEMBER 12, 18b0. and elevating duty into something divine, he should be able to touch the heart of the multitude abroad as religion or poetry touches it at home." For Carlyle and Emerson, and some others, Mr. Hannay evinces a great enthusiasm. After quoting:a sentence from the latter, he observes, in a foot-note, that he has com mitted an anachronism, but adds, "I would risk a worse fault to introduce a line of Emerson's." Again of " Pendennis," he observes that it unites " the good sense of a homily with the easy charm of a novel." These generous remarks are the more de• lightful, because, as Singleton observes, " the error of our time is not that of admiring too much." Cordially do we commend " Singleton Fontenoy," because, with some artistic faults, apparently the results of hasty composition, it will delight those who peruse it, and some of its suggestions will linger lovingly in their remembrance. The Luttrels; or, the Two Marriages. By Folkcs stone - Williams. 3 Vols. The author of " Shakspere and his Friends" and " Maids of Honour," two very dissimilar but most delightful works, has not added to his celebrity by his recent production. Clever sketches and abundant evidences of talent are to be met with in " The Luttrels," but the main incidents of the tale are so re volting that we can pronounce no commendation upon the work. The unnatural incidents which so often shock our tastes in foreign romances have rarely ex ceeded in unnaturalness the mystery of " The Lot trels." The " Two Marriages," which give the second title to the book, are the real and pretended unions of one heroine to two individuals bearing the close relation of father and son. Until nearly the close of the tale the reader is ignorant as to which is the real husband of Lucy; and the hero of the tale (young Luttrel) encounters in his wanderings a namesake, the son of Lucy, whom he believes to be his brother, but who ultimately proves t o b e his son. With such incidents for his theme, Mr. Williams must forgive us if, in spite of a pleasant recollection of his former works, and, not withstanding the talents visible in this one, we dismiss " The Luttrels" from our consideration with senti ments of exceeding dissatisfaction. Claude; or, the Double Sacrifice. .By Mary Moles worth. 2 Vols. It is far more agreeable to commend than to censure, and " Claude" affords us ample opportunities for com mendation. Let us, however, before beginning that grateful task, hint to the fair authoress that a woman's pen, no matter how ably it may touch upon the most important topics, should always preserve a peculiar grace and softness of expression. While " Claude" abounds with beautiful thoughts, there are occasionally to be met with sentences, sometimes put into the mouth of Ada, its heroine, which we are in clined to think deficient in feminine delicacy. These blemishes are only trivial ones, but we particularise them because the authoress evinces such a capacity of feeling and such a power of expression, as in duce us to slumber her among our writers of fairest promise. " Claude" may be divided into two parts—the one, gay and sparkling, fascinates from its vivacity of style and variety of scene, while the other is rendered yet more fascinating from its genuine pathos and enthralling interest. In the com mencement of the tale the beautiful, clever, and wealthy Ada Franscillon is wooed by many suitors, but persuaded by none, and, in her conversations with an anxious aunt, the fair lady evinces a wise conviction that a single life is an infinitely happier lot than a marriage of convenancel or ambition. In this part of the narrative occur many shrewd obser vations and much brilliant writing. Ultimately, Claude makes his appearance, and after some of those difficulties which proverbially impede the course of true love, is betrothed to Ada, and now commences the mournful but most beautiful portion of the narrative. The young officer (he is in the army abroad) is about to return to claim his bride, when he receives a wound which threatens to prove mortal. He comes home in the daily expectation of death. The womanly character of the gay and bril liant Ada now becomes apparent. There are passages towards the close of the simple narrative (the first volume of winich abounded with matter of amuse.. ment) which it is hardly possible to peruse without tears. We shall not say how the " Double Sacrifice" is terminated, but we commend " Claude" to the at tention of all who can sympathise with a truthful picture of human hearts agitated by the most sub lime emotions. The Double Oath. By the Baronness de Calabrella. - 3 VOlB. The principal incident of this novel somewhat re minds us of the main feature of Miss Edgeworth's " Helen." Like Helen, the virtuous but too easily guided heroine of the " Double Oath" is exposed to unjust suspicions, from which she cannot clear her self without inculpating a married friend. The cha racters of the two ladies chosen by the Baroness Cala brella as the heroines of her romance are totally dissimi lar, but their different portraits are sketched with a skil ful hand. The one is favoured by fortune and the other, jealous of her companions's , superior lot, devotes her very considerable abilities to her own aggrandisement. To effect this end she scruples not to sacrifice the dearest feelings of her own heart, and, consequently, even though for a time successful in her schemes, she reaps nothing but misery. The climax of the tale is horrible and somewhat overdrawn, but the moral is good, and some of the characters introduced are very attractive. Of these is the charming Lady Horton, who, possessed of most refined tastes and mistress of various accomplishments, finds on her marriage that her husband, notwithstanding their mutual attachment, has no sympathy with her pur suits and is devoted to agricultural cares and sporting pleasures. The secresy with which the fair Julia conceals her disappointment, the amiability with which she adapts herself to her husband's views, and the dexterity with which she wins him to more intellectual occupations, is cleverly described, and conveys an instructive lesson. Light and Darkness. By Mrs.,Crowe. 3 Vols. The title of this novel, and the name of its authoress, sufficiently indicate its nature, and pro , raises a rich treat to the lovers of the supernatural, but not the lovers of the supernatural only will be gratified by these three volumes. They contain tales of different lengths, some of which have already ap peared in print, of very various characters, reflect ing the lights as well as the shadows of life. The " Two Miss Smiths," for example, is a sprightly and humorous sketch ; and " The Bride's Journey," on the other band, possesses a ghastly fascination. One of the best stories, " The Money Seekers," contains As much matter of interest as a three-volumed novel or a five-act play. Some of the situations are capital, and the denouement, though of a tragic nature, is most felicitous. The Abduction. A Tale of Mesmerism. By the Baroness Prochazha. 3 Vols. Less " light" and " darkness" of a yet deeper hue characterise this mysterious tale. The lovers of ro mantic horrors, who mourn for the obsolete produc tions of the Minerva press, and the mysteries of Mrs. Radcliffe and Horace Walpole, will greet the Baroness Prochazka with a hearty welcome. Her work is a felicitous specimen of its class, a class for which we entertai n littl e sympat h y . It abounds with murders, and mysteries, and dark prophecies, and birds of ill omen, &o. The third volume is of a less horrible character, and it is very skilfully invested with considerable interest. The young daughter of the unhappy hero and heroine of the first volume is the subject of the "abduction," she has been spirited away. After much difficulty her father recovers her (as he supposes), but the reader is bewildered by doubts as to her actual . identity. A mesmeric doct o r .and his clair royante patient throw some light upon the mysteries py their revelations. Evincing considerable ability, and abounding in horrors, this tale will in all proba bility find admirers. Hearts in Mortmain, and Cornelia. 1 Vol. "So often on its hinge before," Lettice Arnold. By the Authoress of "Emilia Wynd ham." 2 Vols. ..._ Totally dissimilar — in style and subject to the last-mentioned tale o f t error i s this delight ful book. The perusal of anything by Mrs. Marsh is, to use an old metaphor, refreshing as a ramble in the gr een fi e ld s i n spr i ng . This delightful peculiarity, which p erva d es a ll her writings, is in none more apparent th an i n " L e ttice Arnold." Lettice herself is a generous hearted, cheerful-spirited creature, somewhat resembling in character " the dearest girl in the world," beloved by T homas 'waddles. Catherine Mehryn also appears like a sunbeam upon the scene. Contrasted with these is Myra, spoiled and selfish, miserable in herself and inflicting misery on all about her. In the course of the story some glimpses are thrown upon the condi tion of the over-tasked dressmakers, and the benevolent Mrs. Fisher holds up a bright example to the mistresses of large establishments. E very two hours her hard-working stitchers are allowed a few minutes to stretch their weary limbs —weary with in action ; and the increased industry consequent upon these pauses is found to mor e th an compensate for the trifling loss of time. We s h a ll not attempt to give any inkling of the story of " Lettice Arnold," seeing that the charm of Mrs. M ars h' s charm i ng tales consists more in their charact ers th an i n the i r incidents, in their style than in their theme. Heartily commending the two volumes to all who love natural pictures, we quote the following too little heeded truth for the benefit of th ose w h o may not meet with " Lettice." Politeness, we are reminded, is A charming thing in it se lf, and when exerc i sed in the domestic relations smooths and sweetens the current of life to an incalculable degree. It enhances the value of a really gentle and kind temper; it softens down the asperities of a harsh and rugged one; and to an extent, of which many vorthy people who mistake politeness for insincerity, and think a blunt roughness of demea nour a warrant for the honesty and truth of their affec tions, seem to be little aware." Instead of spinning out one little story into three volumes, the author of this work has given us two delightful novelettes, in one book. " Cornelia" abounds in incident and matter of interest, but " Hearts in Mortmain" is, to our thinking, its su perior. Both tales display considerable ability, but the first overflows with pathos. It is simple, even to naturalness. Its curious title, " Hearts in Mort main," is occasioned by the incident on which the whole story is founded. A dying father demands from his daughter a solemn promise 'that she will never marry a cousin and companion, with whom she has been familiar from childhood. The promise is willingly made and faithfully kept, although soon afterwards poor Ethel has cause to re pent her ready vow. The different conduct of the two sufferers, the resigned, self-sacrifieing Ethel, and the passionate, undisciplined Edward, is most force fully portrayed. The passionate wrestling of a re bellious heart, and the calm serenity of a self-con quering spirit, are most naturally and powerfully depicted. One lesson is learned from the tears and anguish of these sufferers—the virtue and the efficacy of truthfulness. Ethel, acting for the best, preserves a fatal secresy on most momentous matters, and with a cruel kindness adds to the sorrows she is aaxious to diminish. As showing the ill effects of such a mii!aken course "Hearts in Mort main" is worthy of perusal, independently of the attractive nature of its exquisite and natural delinea tion of human feeling. "Alton Locke," and some other novels, still remain to be considered. We must defer them until another opportunity—those already enumerated, however, afnrd a fair specimen in num ber and variety of the novels of the last few weeks, most of them possessing considerable attractions, but few conspicuous for any transcendent merit. HISTORIC SCENES AND POETIC FAN CIES. By Agnes Strickland. " This volume," writes the authoress in her pre face, " contains my earliest literary productions, written when the vivid feelings and perceptions of a young heart and ardent imagination found their natu ral language in poetry." As such, as containing the early writings of the authoress of " The Queens of England," this volume possesses peculiar interest. In its general features, and more especially in the choice of the various subjects, we easily recognise indications of the tastes and habits of thought of the future his. torical biographer. Tnose romantic incidents, rendered more romantic and more interesting from their truth fulness, which abound in every history, are favourite subjects of contemplation to Miss Strickland, and many of her " poetic fancies" are suggested by "his toric scenes." " Queen Mary's Welcome," " The Escape of Mary Beatrice and her Babe," " The Part ing of Louis XVI. and his Family," " Sultan Amurath's Dream," "The Earthquake of Callao," and many other attractive themes are celebrated in verse and illustrated by a prose description. The prose account of " The Sister Cities of the 'Thames"— London and Westminster, is full of most valuable and interesting information regarding the early history of the metropolis. In addition to the historical poems, the poetic fancies comprise subjects of all kinds and characters, many of them very grace fully and exquisitely portrayed. Among the best are pieces descriptive of the varying seasons of the year, flowers, and other themes connected with the beauties of nature. " The Seven Ages of Woman," in allusion of course to Shakspere's " Seven Ages of Man," is gracefully written, and abounds with beautiful and womanly thoughts. The seven ages are those of the infant, the girl, the maiden, the wife, the mother, the widow, and the old lady. " Night in the Metropolis" and " Morning in the Metropolis" are the subjects of two beautiful poems. Of a different character are the musical lines on " The Birth of Spring" and "The Death of Summer." Dissimilar in their subjects and in their styles, the various poems and prose pieces here collected form a very attractive volume, likely to be perused with pleasure by the numerous admirers of the accom plished authoress. To add to these attractions, it is graced with a portrait of Miss Strickland. THE ECLECTIC REVIEW. The " Character and Career of Csar," as set forth in Mr. Merivale's " Roman Empire," is the subject of a severe censure on the pa r t o f th e Eclectic reviewer. Wordsworth's "Prelude," on the other hand, gives occasion for a genial eulogium on the departed Poet Laureate. Without fully concurring in the reviewer's estimate of the author of " the Prelude," we have been struck with the justice of some of his observations, as, for instance, where he says, " every great poet passes through a fourfold state in regard to the world. First, his peculiar qualities are ignored; secondly, they are acknowledged ; thirdly, they are appreciated ; and fourthly, they are canonized. Wordsworth has only as yet reached the second stage. His merits are gene rally acknowledged, but generally appreciated they are not, nor are they soon likely to be." SHAR.PE'S LONDON MAGAZINE. Sharpe's may now rank with the most interesting of the monthly periodicals. In the November number we find "A Sea-side Sketch," by Agnes Strickland, which possesses a very mournful interest. "Lewis Arundel" continues with unabated spirit. The maxims of La Roche foucauld, as recently published by Messrs. Longman, are the subject of an interesting criticism, and in addition to a variety of other attractive articles is a beautiful plea for " Me mory," by E. E. M. K., founded upon that touching aspiration which occurs in " The Haunted Man," " Lord keep my memory green." As a specimen of its eloquence of style and tenderness of thought, we quote the concluding passages of this delightful article, evidently written from the heart, and as such appeal ing to the hearts of those who read it : " ' Lord, keep my memory green!' echoes instinctively in the heart of the wondering child, as it looks upon the leafless boughs of winter, and seeks in vain for the wild towers striped and golden,' it was wont to gather in the merry hours of summer. It remembers them, the blue violets —those deep eyes of the young spring first gazing upon us so slyly—the cowslips of sunny May; and Hope weaves a garland afresh—a garland of promise that they shall leaf and blossom again, when warm days, and cloudless skies, and fertilizing dews return. Lord, keep my memory green!' trembles on the wan lips of the weeping mourner, whether it be over the dead or the dying those agonising drops be distilled. It wells up there from the stricken yet disciplined heart in the half audible appeal for strength addressed to those ears which are never closed against us. Teach me to remember that Thou haat promised succour to all who call upon Thee in the day of tribulation—that this is not our true country, that here life is made up of meetings and partings, and that it is only hereafter we may anticipate the bliss of an inseparable companionship."rrue, me mory is potent to stir the storm of natural regrets, to rend the heart with the thought of present desolation, to convulse the lip when its cry of endearment comes back unanswered, to thicken the breath with a sense of suffo cation at the threshold of that chamber whose closed door— bespeaks the stillness of the sleep within, to flood the eye with ungovernable tears by recalling the bloom, the life, the love, the beauty, that so lately animated that shrine of dust, and have now left it ripening for decay. True, it is potent to awaken thus the fierce tides of mental anguish, to prostrate our moral courage, to over come for the time being even our physical powers; but how sovereign is the antidote it at the same time affordei how specific the balm of its spiritual consolation! " Memory is my solace,' sigh the separated in life. They who are the victims fan untoward fate; knit to gether by the bonds of affection, yet divided by an ocean of adverse circumstances to think of the absent, to keep them shrined in the sanctuary of the mind, to call back the tones, the smiles, the words of endearment, the winning gentleness, the frank pleasantries, the laugh, the glance of sweet surprise, the warm fervent pressure of the hand, are surely privileges teo dearly prized to be relinquished without reluctance by the exiled from home: we sa y home, because of the accepted creed that— "'Tis home where'er the heart is." " Memory is that sunshine we see beaming so oft in the face of venerable age. He is thinking of his youth!' we say, when the smile of happy abstraction, like a breath of summer, melts into touching softness of ex pression the time-worn lineaments of the hoary dreamer. He is back with his early childhood, when the world seemed all so good and beautiful, and men just what their Maker first designed them to be, only a little lower than the angels;' back with his happy school-days, when application and ability were first coined into the gold of knowledge ; back with the merry troop *ho went bounding out to play;' back with his dawning manhood, which still is youth, when passion, kindled at the shrine of beauty, offered up its first, its purest eeerifide, an unsullied and devoted heart. He thinks, he ponders on all this, and if a cloud of regret arise, it is but mo mentary, for though the nerveless arm, the failing eye, over which the film o f age i s ga th er i ng fast, the silvered locks, the faltering step, are all solemn evidences that the winter of life has set in for him, memory is at hand with her antidote; at hand with the balm of consolation. She tells him that these are but incrustations wrought by time on the surface, which eat not their way within; the soul of man being impervious to all blighting in fluences; its dower being that of perpetual youth. " Memory is the guardian angel even of the wicked. How often does it step in between the intention end the guilty deed, staying the murderous hand, whispering admonitions long forgotten, stirring the callous heart to a sense of good, softening, subduing, winning it! Truly may we repeat, it is their guardian angel, though it is doubtless these who would clamour for its destruction, who would exclaim,' Away with it—away with: it; it is the bane, the curse of my life!' If there be really any existing whose graceless tongues could dare thus to execrate aught so sacred, we cry, ' Pause ere thou condemn,' and opening for them afresh the book of the creation, bid them behold how, when God made man in the paradise of Eden, and endowed him with' will, memory, and that it was goo d.'

NEW STRAND THEATRE. Last night the favourite into:rlude of the Rival Pages was revived at this house , for the purpose of introducing to the London public a young lady in the character of Victor. This part , was one of those in which the late Mrs. Honey vms celebrated. The debutante, a Miss Caroline Pearse, who we understand is a great favourite in the page 1 il.ne in the provinces, and especially in the islands of G :uernsey and Jersey, where she has lately been performing with much suc cess, possesses the recommendation of a handsome countenance and good figure, wit's i a pair of legs that may almost rival the celebrity 'of Madame Vestris herself. She played the part w ith much spirit and naiveté, and bullied and blusterer i her rival as com pletely as any impudent boy of si3:teen need do. Sue was well received and loudly applauded by the audience, and will no doubt be 4 ; ome a favourite in town as well as the country. ASTLEY'S HEATRE. A magnificent new grand hippc dramatic spectacle, entitled the Enchanted Palfrey; or the Warrior of the Crescent, was produced hens. last evening, with that triumphant success which ha .s hitherto attended all the productions of Mr. Ba tty's management. The scene is laid in Persia, and we find that the War rior of the Crescent, Mirza, was in early life a peasant; but having entered the n ervice of the Shah of Persia as a soldier, he rose by degrees, and became at last general of his forces. Raised to high rank, he did not, however, forget an :humble maiden in his native village, to whom he had been, when in lower circumstances, betrothed. But, when brought to the city of the Shah, send seen by him, he became enamoured of her, and fr o ut that moment he determined on the ruin of the brave warrior, who was declared a rebel, but contin rsed, in the disguise of a Bedouin Arab, to enter the 'city and palace of the Persian Sovereign, and succeeded, through the in strumentality of his famous paliicey, in carrying off the lady. It is unnecessary to repeat the many dangers they escaped by means of the same agency, or with what uncommon dexterity the horse performed the part ass igned him ; it is enough to observe that fortune c n this occasion co -incided with the old proverb, by favouring the brave, for the Warrior of the Crescent attacks the Shah in his fortress, and deprives him at once of his life and kingdom. The storming of the fortress at the con clusion was admirably managed, a nd elicited thunders of applause. The scenery was x aagnificent, and the costumes gorgeous. The Enchi anted Palfrey will no doubt have a long run. THE LATE SHOCKING COLLII3KY ACCIDENT AT HAYDOCK. — The adjourned inquest a tpon the bodies of the ten persons who lost their lives by thtl accident at a colliery at Haydock, on Thursday last, was resu med on Monday before John Hayes, Esq., the district co , roner. J. Tremenhere, Esq., was present as an inspector for the Government, under the provisions of the recent Act of Parliament, and a number of witnesses having been examined, the jury then returned a verdict of " Accidental death." By direction of the coroner Mr. Evans, the proprietor of the mine, was sent for. On his arrival the coroner informed him of Use suggestion made by Mr. Tremenhere, and urged upon him the necessity of carry ing out those suggestions, for the purpose of insuring in creased protection to the lives cf the, men employed in the mine. He also considered that a code of rules should be drawn up for the general management; of the mine, similar to those in force at other collieries in th e neighbourhood. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—The eldest son of the Rev. Thomas Croker, of Maryville, a tine youth in his 16th year, met with a deplorable accident, on IV ednesday evening last, by the incautious use of gunpowder„ a long train of which he was laying on the kitchen floor from a shooting flask, while a servant man, at his desire, ig nite:d the powder at one end, when the train blazed up, :and the running flame caught the young gentleman in a mom ent, with the flask in his hands, which burst asunder with a terrible shock, tear ing a thumb from each hand of the unfortunate victim, who fell stupified with horror and pain. The consternation of Mr. Croker's family was indescriba.lble under this terrible disaster. One thumb was found in a recess in the kitchen. Dr. John Wilkinson was directly sent for, and removed the other thumb, which was connected with the , hand merely by the skin ligament. He dressed the wounds, and the young gentleman bas derived con 3parative relief in his sufferings. The advices from the United States by the America were 'not important. Dioney was increasingly abundant, and stocks continue well supported. There had been a slight frost in New York, and also a telegraphic ac count of killing frosts in Georgia and Alabama, which had caused the price of cotton to recover from the heaviness of the preceding week ; but although Coe statements came from respectable parties, it was not apprehended that much in jury had been done. There was no change in the quotation for flour, but there was a greater disposition to effect ship ments, which bad, however, been, checked by a rise in freight. SHOCKING SUICIDE.—About 12 o'clock last night a young woman precipitated herself from the first recess on the Surrey side of Blackfriars-bri :Igo, and, striking with great violence against one of the but,ttresses, dashed in her skull and rebounded upon the cause way. The sound of her fall attracted the notice of two coz tatables, who ran down and raised her, but after groaning 13eavily once or twice she expired, and was conveyed to Christchurch dead-house. She was apparently about 26 years of age, short in stature, fair complexion, light brown hair, teeth much decayed, and had on a brown cotton dress with white stripes, slate coloured shawl with red stripes, and a straw bonnet with brown ribands. - DEATH OF COLONEL WALKER, R.A.—We have to record the demise of this officer, who died a few days since at Leith. He entered the service in 11303. The deceased was one of the officers who served at the capture of Flushing, in 1809. He also took part in the campaign on the frontier of Niagara, in 181:3 and 1811. A serious accident took place at the Clonard print works near Belfast last week. There were three boilers upon the premises, cue of which burst with a terrible explosion, bringing down to the ground a considerable mass of buildings that stood over it. Five persons wergt severely injured by the falling materials. EARTHQUAKE AT MALTA. -011 Saturday, the 25th of October, at five minutes before one 1..31:, two very smart shocks of earthquake were felt at Malta, which, though they extended over a period of only a 'few seconds, have damaged the walls of several old buildings. The first shock was ac corapanjed by a loud rumbling sound. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF INQUIRY' Oti COMMODORE PLUMRIDGE. —ln consequence of certain representetions made to the Admiralty by Mr. Wymond Hanley, the late sec retary to Commodore Ptumridge, when in the East Indies, their Lordships ordered a court of inquiry, composed of the Commander-in-Chief at Devonport, Admiral Sir W. H. Gage, G.C.H., Capt. Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., of the flag-ship, and Captain Hope Johnstone, of the Albion, 90, to investigate the charges against Commodore Plumridge, before paying off the Cambrian, 40. The committee commenced their inquiry at the commodore superintendent's office in the dockyard at 10.30 A.M. on Saturday, and con tinued until 4 P.M., when they adjourned until 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The persons examined were Commander Morris, Lieut. Lloyd, Mr. T. C. Pollen, the master; Mr. Beal, the paymaster ; and the ship's joiner, all of the Cambrian; and the surgeon, Mr. C. R. Brien ; fat) naval instructor, Mr. Speed ; and several of the seamen were to have been examined yesterday. The inquiry was strictly secret, and the witnesses were forbidden to make any thing pubiic. It is known, however, that Commodore Plumridge and Mr. Hanky were the closest friends for about eighteen months, when, upon some dif ferences arising between them in the Rest Indies, the Commodore discharged his secretary on the station, and left him to find his way home. Upon these dif• ferences the ex-secretary has brought charges against the Commodore ; but it is likely that the remit, of the court of inquiry will prevent a court-martial.. Commodore Lord John Hay, C. 13., returned from leave on Saturday evening, and re-hoisted his flag on board the St. George, 1,20,. at nine A.M. o n S un d ay morning, and has resumed his duties as superintendent of the dockyard. There is no truth in the report that Captain Milne, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, will be appointed to succeed Rear-Admiral Price as superin tendent of Sheerness Dockyard. It is more likely that it will be offered to a senior captain nearer Sir Charles Hotham's seniority than that of Captain Milne. Captain the Hon. Keith Stewart (1842), who has come here from New Zealand in the Rattlesnake, it is generally stated, is to commission the Calliope, 26, at Devonport, to relieve the Havannah, 19, Captain Erskine, as senior officer of the New Zealand division. Captain Stewart is son-in-law of the Governor of New &Island, Sir Charles Fitzroy.

Commander A. P. E. Wilmot has not yet commis sioned the Britomart. Their Lordships' directions are waited at Devonport before the delivery of the com missions and appointments to the officers of the Brito mart. In consequence of her defective state she has been docked. Lieut.

Barvey, formerly of the Bellerophon. Fisgard, commodore's flag-ship at Woolwich, will be paid off and re-commissioned. The Antelope, steam-packet, Lieutenant-Com mander Smyth, went on shore at Fiume Point, in the Dardanelles, on the night of the 15th ult., while in the prosecution of her voyage from Samos for Con stantinople, but was got off through the assistance of one of the Austrian steamers, and, we understand, has not sustained any material damage. Dragon, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, was to have sailed Nov. 1 for Mahon, with the mails brought thither by the Medusa, but was detained by the heavy westerly gale now blowing. North Star, 26, is ordered from Sheerness to be laid up in ordinary at Chatham. Spy, brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander G. Wes tern, is ordered to be paid off at Chatham.

The crew of the steam-vessel Geyser were paid wages yesterday, and she sailed to-day with the mail for Brazil. The Seagull paelKet brig sailed this afternoon for Falmouth to take the December mail to South Ame rica ; she will be the last Government vessel employed on this duty. _ _ The frigate Cambrian was unmasted yesterday ; her crew will be paid off on Tuesday. The crew of her Majesty's ship Albion are to be augmented to a full complement of 820 men. The Wasp steam-vessel, v. hick arrived on Wed nesday, had a bong passage of 10 days frum Wool wich, during which she experienced very heavy weather. At one time it was feared that the masts would roll out of her ; she took shelter at Teign mouth on Tuesday night. The steam-vessel Greenock left the harbour at 6 A.M. on Thursday, and having made a trial trip round the Eddystone returned at 1 P.m. The surveying-brig Pandora, having been repaired and ordered for commission, was taken out of dock to-day, and masted._ The Calliope and Britomart were placed i n d oc k to-day preparatory to being commissioned. The Nautilus, apprentices' brig, came iu from the Sound yesterday, and is moored under the Obelisk at Mount Edgecumbe for the winter. The new dock and basin now in progress at the Devonport Dockyard are ordered to be completed on the plan of Mr. W. Edye, the master shipwright. Mr. David Derry was this day elected mayor of Plymouth, and Mr. M. Jeffry mayor of Devonport, for the ensuing year. This afternoon, about three o'clock—tide low—the copper-bottomed schooner Enriquito, Captain Tono, discharging at the Millbay pier, suddenly fell over on her beam ends. She is from Savannah, with 773 cases of sugar for Messrs. Bryant, Brunell, and Co. The last six cases, about a ton, were in the slings half way up the hold, when, there being no mast head teakle fastened ashore, and no ballast abr oa d, s h e parted her warps, stem and stern, and fell over. One of her seamen, on the topgallant yard, was jerked to the topsail yard, fell with his back on the main yard, and then rebounded on the pier ; his arm was broken, and ho received other injuries, and was conveyed im mediately to the Devon and Cornwall Hospital. The mate jumped overboard, the crew got on her side, and the Customhouse officer (Axworthy) being to lee ward had a narrow escape, and has lost his commis sion paper, books, &c. By the rebound of the slings a labourer on the pier had his head cut open and shoulder injured. Nov. 10.—An ineffectual effort was made last night to raise the schooner, by attaching the chains of 'three cranes to her masts. Subsequently, under the authority of Mr. T. W. Fox, jun., two lumps were obtained from the dockyard, and being cradled be tween them, the Enriquito was towed by the Phoenix steamer into shallow water. On the fall of the tide it is intended to pump her out and righten her. She belongs to the master and M. Manus of Denis, and is uninsured. CHATHAM, Nov. 11.—The Spy, 3-gun brigantine, Lieutenant and Commander George Western, from the coast of Africa, was this day towed up the Med way to this port from Sheerness by the Adder steam vessel. The Spy arrived at Sheerness yesterday, and will be paid off as soon as she has returned her stores to this dockyard and dismantled. The Royal standards were hoisted on Saturday last at the several forts of this garrison, at the Dockyard of the Ordnance, in celebration of the Prince of Wales' birthday.

She has been supported by Signor Bordes and Madame Macfarren, who has appeared for the first time in Ireland, andlas played with decided suc cess the characters of Orsini, Pierotto, and Adalgisa, altering the last into a contralto. The unanimous judgment of Westminster-hall places Lord Campbell among the most efficient judges who have occupied the exalted position of Chief Justice of Eng land. His accurate and extensive knowledge of law—his fa miliarity with the practice of his court—his intimate ac quaintance with the habits, manners, and customs of the various classes of society appealing to the tribunal over which he presides—his firmness, suavity, and well-regulated temper—all combine to form a judge who commands the re spect and wins the obedience and regard of all the profes sional men practising before him, and who also makes the suitors feel that even-handed justice has been administered to them by one thoroughly conversant with the science and the practice of the law.— 7'imes.
