The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 6 000 bales, of which 500 American were taken on speculation. The market was steady. The sales comprised übout 4,500 American, 300 Perham and Ma ranham at 54d. to 6fd , 30 Bahia at 6d., 500 Egyptian at sid. to Bd., 1,000 Surat at 2id. to 3*d., and 40 Sea Island at Is. lid. to Is. eid. per lb.—The Share Market firm, with a good demand for Midland and North- Western. The Colonial Markets have been inactive this week, and there has been a decline in some descriptions of Sugar. Coffee is dull, but Cotton, and Rum have been firm. Tea and Tallow sell in small parcels. The Brazilian Mail has arrived, and brings news of the 18th of August from Sydney, confirming the accounts about the yield of gold. Our direct advices this morning from Port Philip are to June 6th only, but they supply intermediate accounts of interest. From Melbourne it is stated— " The drought has now fairly broken up, and we have been visited with mild and copious rains during the last few days. We hear that it penetrated nearly over the whole of the interior, having been experienced in the Geelong, Kilmore, and Mount Macedon districts. The grass is now coming forward, the only danger to stock being from the too soft feed." The latest Geelong advices refer to a silver mine being discovered, and state— " A vessel has been advertised here for the land of gold, with great inducements held out to parties to pro ceed by her, in the shape of cheap passages, liberal al lowance of grog, and freight allowed each passenger to the amount of one-fourth of a ton. One would almost think from this that the owners expected a difficulty in procuring passengers for her. " I have also heard it said that a party here is pre paring an enormous covered dray, to be drawn by bullocks, for an overland trip to Bathurst. The dray is intended to carry the bedding, rations, &c., of sixteen men, who are to pay 101. per head for the trip. " The whirlpool of excitement, in which we have been plunged lately by the gold discovery took a slight re verse turn yesterday, owing to the reported discovery of a silver mine by the M. M. Herald in our own colony; and many people gravely ask, what is the use of our leaving a country rich in other resources besides mine rals, to speculate in the gold fields of Ophir. With gold at the Plenty, Mount Macedon, Mount M'lvor, the Pyrenees, and the Youw Yangs, with lead and copper in the neighbourhood of the Pivot,' and coal at Loutit Bay, we ought to be satisfied that we have our own share of mineral wealth ; and although these are only reports nut yet sufficiently authenticated, there is no knowing how soon any or all of them may be. If a sur vey of the most likely mineral localities were undertaken by a competent person, there can be no doubt that there would be little inducement offered us to go to Bathurst, and numbers who have sacrificed snug little properties, or thrown up respectable situations, will once again wish themselves back in Victoria. In the meantime, let our farmers keep their ploughs going, there will soon be a great demand for food, as there now is for gold. " The weather yesterday and to-day has been very fa vourable for the grass—calm with slight showers, and occasional glimpses of sunshine." • The fact that the Bathurst gold " diggings" were yielding largely up to the month of August must be deemed highly important, and the influence which we may expect to see exercised upon the futureof Australia, should the discoveries maintain their character, it is almost impossible to over-estimate. The Brazilian advises are to the 15th ult. They con firm the previous information as to the critical position of Oribe, and the triumph of the Monte Videans is con sidered a certainty. Until this affair is settled trade will be unfavourably affected both at liio and Buenos Ayres. The Funds are very quiet, and not looking quite so firm as yesterday. This may be the result of a little disappointment that the Bank of England did not yes terday reduce its terms of discount. Consols have been done for a moment at 981 for Transfer, but are now again 98, 3 ,- The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 9Si to 1-, and the Three per Cents. Exchequer-bills are flatter, being 51s. to 545. premium, after having been 525. to 555. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have made an arrangement with the Sub-Marine Telegraphic Com pany for several dispatches from Paris during the day. The expense is said to be great, and as business com mences late in the day at the Paris Bourse, the benefit will not be very material, unless the hours are changed there. The Foreign Securities have been neglected, and the settlement has caused very little alteration. Spanish Bonds are higher, the Five per Cents. b ein g 201 4, and the Three per Cents. 39 to 11. Mexican Bonds are 24i to 1. Dutch Four per Cents. are 90i. Railway Shares have been buoyant, but the transac tions are not extensive. Gold Mine Shares are quoted 11 to 1} for Aguas Fries, i to f,- for West Mariposas, i to i , tor Ave Ma ries, and i to 1 for Nouveau Monde. ONE CLOSING PRICKS OF BRITImiI FUNDS O'CLOCK.

ST. 2rlAwEs, Nov. 11.—A smack was seen to founder 9th Nov., about eight miles S.S.V. of Cape Cornwall. - - Y ' sioners re-assembled for th e 10th time, and closed their inquiry so far as at p resent prac ticable. A num ber of additional cases, disclosing systematic bargain and sale of votes, were gone into. Each voter re treated, on the extraction of the shame-faced confes sion, into the obscurest corners of the court, waiting for his certificate of protection, given under the Act of Parliament, to all such as confessed to the truth of being bribed. The principal case was that of a voter named Blanks, innkeeper, of the White Hart, who admitted he was one of the parties who came up to London with the view of getting Sir R. Car len to stand. This man acknowledged boldly, that he entered on the electioneering campaign solely in the sense of a matter of business, and of p oun d s , s hillings, and pence. Purity o f principle was all prunella, it had nothing to do with elections in St. Alban's, nor did he believe that any candidate, however estimable or honest, could become sitting Member for St. Alban's without he spent a great deal of money. In his opinion, however, the money that had been laid out to secure the last election at St. Alban's, as compared with previous elections, and with Maldon and other places be could mention, was comparatively nothing more than a " milks core."—(Laughter.) A number of voters known to have been bribed, and who had been summoned to attend, did not ap pear, the reason assigned being that some of them were absent from St. Alban's a week at a time, at work in the neighbouring districts, and others, from a mistaken notion of the consequences of disclosing their venality, had, to use the parlance of the place, " stepped it." A considerable object of attraction during the pro ceedings, and which, either by accident or design, was brought under the notice of the Commissioners, was a massive silver snuffbox, belonging to Edwards, who, on the closing of the court, mounted his horse, in waiting without, and rode off to his farm at Bricket- wood, some three miles from St. Alban's, halting at stages in the town to talk with the voters he bribed. The snuffbox, containing some excellent rappee, had on its lid the following inscription : " Presented to Mr. Henry Edwards by 1,000 and upwards of the working classes of St. Alban's, by Id. subscription, as a mark of their respect and esteem, in token of their disapprobation of the perse cution to which he has been subjected, Bth Aug., 1851." The strange character of the tribute will be a sufficient apology for giving publicity to a pre sentation so contemptible, the date being indicative of the fact that it was , given after the owner's 18 weeks' imprisonment in Newgate for the people who presented it. Shortly before 1 o'clock the Commissioners intimated that they bad determined on adjourning the further proceedings to Ist December, to giye time for the produCtion of still absent voters, and the examination of Messrs. Wilks, Craven, and Repton, the candidates at former elections. They had to thank the Mayor, and all parties concerned, for the great assistance they had given them in the course of the inquiry, and a general feeling of satisfaction was expressed through the court at the urbane and considerate manner in which the Commissioners had discbarged the very stringent duties and powers conferred on them by the Act of Parliament. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE.-(FRIDAY.) Since Monday, the receipts of Engligh Wheat, coast wise, have been very limited, but in excellent condition. Fresh up to-day the arrivals by land carriage were small; hence, the show of samples of both red and white was trifling. Although very few of the largo millers ...ere in attendance, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled steady, at full prices. For for ward shipment from the east coast a few transactions took place. The imports of foreign Wheat have been confined to 7,280 quarters, about 3,000 being ou millers' account. Sel(etcd qualities were in fair request, at ex treme quotations. In the middling and inferior kinds, comparatively little was doing. The show of both English and foreign Barley being steadily on tho in crease, the demand was less active, at unaltered figures. In Malt we have very few transactions to report. On the whole, the Oat trade was steady, at full price. Beans, Peas, and Flour were quite as dear as last week. The arrivals of grain off Falmouth continue small. A cago of 500 quarters Polish Odessa Wheat sold for Holland at 32s 6d. per quarter. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. I Barley. bialt. Oats. Flour. Qrs. I Qrs.

To-day's market was tolerably well supplied with beasts as to number, but their general quality was in , ferior; at least two-thirds of. them were the refuse of Monday. Notwithstanding the favourable state of the weather the Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at the late decline in the quotations. An unusually small Ripply of both English and foreign Sheep was on offer, nevertheless the demand for that description of stock was heavy, at last week's' currency. The primest old Downs sold at from 4s to 4s 2d per 81bs. Very few Calves were brought forward, yet the Veal trade was dull, at Monday's prices. In Pigs very little business was transacted. Mitch Cows were quoted at from 141 to 181 each, including their small calf.

This was an action brought by the above company to recover the sum of 151. 10s. from the defendant, a ship • builder at Limehouse, being the amount due for two calls on a share, of that , company. The solicitor to the company stated that it was incor porated by royal charter, and the defendant became a shareholder about a year ago. Two calls have recently been , made, and application made to the defendant for , the amoUnt, but on his takieg no' notice of it he was compelled to bring the present action. Mr. John James Blair, the late secretary of the com pany, produced the deed of the company, which had been duly signed by the shareholders. He saw the defendant sign his name to the document as a shareholder. Mr. William Brown, chief clerk to the solicitor of the company in London, produced the charter of the com pany, and proved that two calls bad lately been made on the shares, and the defendant hid neglected to pay. His HONOUR said shareholders must not endeavour to get out of their liabilities in that way. He should, give judgment for the plaintiff, with costs. 'WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) James and Henry Walsby, two youths, were charged before Mr. Harnmill on suspicion of stealing a cash-box containing Bank of England notes, and gold to the amount of 4851., the property of their father, Charles Walsby, a builder, residing in Crab Tree-row, Hackney road. The prisoners lived apart from their parents, but called on them occasionally, and during the greater part of yesterday the house was left in the possession of his son James, who quitted shortly after tea. The prosecutor proceeded to his bed-room and found tbat a cupboard in which was a large trunk, containing the described property, had been unlocked, the trunk forced, and the cash-box gone. When apprehended the prisoner said, " I knuw nothing of the money, but the old man has been no father to me—the right party will be found out." It did not appear that the prisoner Henry was impli cated, but Mr. Hammill remanded them both. Not any of the money has been found. Robert Mathews was charged with cutting and wound ing, with intent to murder, Harriet Turner, in the Duke of York publie-house, Turk-street, Bethnal-green, by cutting her throat with a carving -knife. The parties cohabited together, and last evening quarrelled in the parlour of the above house from feelings of jealousy on the part of the prisoner, who drew a table-knife from 'his pocket, put his arm round her neck, and cut her throat its such a frightful manner as to render it requi site to remove her to the hospital, where she now lies without hopes of recovery. Prisoner said " I've done it, and fetch a policeman. ' He voluntarily surrendered hireself.—Remanded. THE BISHOP OF EXETER'S JUDGMENT IN THE CASE OF THE. REV. RICUABO ANTRAM.—The sentence.pronounced by the Bishop of the diocese in the case of the Rev. R. An tram, having, we understand, elicited observations on its apparently extreme leniency, we may remark that, reference being made to the several charges and to the punishments attached to them by law, we believe it will be found that no heavier sentence could have been prOnounced. For omission ofDivitie service, the lawful sentence, in the,,firstance, is monition; for the neglect to' baptise a child, suspension for three months is the penalty prescribed by law.— Western Luminary. KOSSUTH. The following is a copy of the noble exile's reply to the congratulatory address presented him by the Portree're of the Corporation of Saint Clears, on the occasion of his arrival in this country, a copy f which address has already appeared in our columns : " 'Winchester, Saturday. " Sir —I have the honour to acknowledge the ro ceipt of ? your favour, of the 4th inst., and to express the feelings of gratitude, which I cannot but deeply entertain when I receive so many testimonies of sym pathy, from both communities and individuals,:as I have already done during the short period that has elapsed since I landed on the shores of England. More es pecially must I feel those expressions which, like your own, point not only to the past but to the future, on which all my own thoughts and hopes are fixed. "I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "L. KOSSUTH. " Hugh Williams, Esq., Portreevo of Saint Clears." SO UTH AMERICA. It is said that General Oribe's position was most critical, he being nearly surrounded, and this is more than probable, as General Urquiza and the Conde de Caxias were concentrating their movements on San Joie, and the Oribista party had suffered severely from desertion. It is evident that the affair is fast drawing to a close, as Oribe is unable to resist the combined force brought against him; and there is no doubt that he will surrender. It is reported that he had sought refuge on board her Majesty's ship Tweed, and that his remaining troops had been made prisoners ; but until the delivery of the mails we abstain from noticing various rumours afloat on this subject. The Brazilian squadron, under the command of Admiral Grenfel, was in the River Plate. A line of railway is immediately to be construc ted between the mouth of the river Move and the foot of the Serra, a distance of about fourteen miles. The formation of this line will diminish the distance between Petropolis and Rio, and will form the first link in the chain of railway communication which Brazil will before long possess. The concession for this line is in the hands of an eminent Brazilian largely connected with England. The survey has been made by an English engineer. About the middle of September the Eliza Frances, Caroline, and Regulator, while endeavouring to cross the bar at Rio, bound to Liverpool, all three struck heavily. A strong current running at the time car ried the Caroline and Regulator out to sea, but the Eliza Frances drifted on, and became a total wreck ; all. hands were, however, saved. The news from Sydney with respect to the gold diggings is most satisfactory, it being represented as abounding with the precious ore. British Ships-of-war at Rio—Boneta, Cormorant (steamer), Crescent, Geyser (steamer), and Havana. American—Lexington (troop ship). French—Fortuna (troop), and Proserpine. At Monte Video—Southamp ton, Tweed, Rifleman. At Bahia—Conflict and Locust. Lieut. Curtis, commander of the Locust, died on the morning of the 19th, after a short illness. At Madeira —Danish corvette Omen, naval instruction ship going to Rio, with young officers. At Lisbon—Prince Regent, Leander, Arethusa, La Hogue, Dauntless. French ships—Henry IV., 120, and Narv a l ( s t eamer ) . Th e Severn exchanged night signals with the Teviot on the 26th of October. Her Majesty's ship Prince sailed for the River Plate on the 14th. RIO. OCT. 2.—Taken altogether, the business of the month was to an average extent. Of imports the receipts were again excessive, and, except earthenware and salt, almost all the sales effected were at losing prices. The trans actions in produce were, at timer, extensive; a larger amount of exchange than usual was negotiated. In other respects the money market was destitute of interest. Coffee—The market was active until the sth, after which there was a suspension of business; and upon the arrival of the Tay there was no disposition to purchase unless at reduced prices. Holders were, however, arm. in consequence of supplies of new having come forward very slowly, and probably by reason of the number of vessels in port awaiting cargoes. Nothing of moment thenceforward was done until the 19th, anci_in the in terval the stock increased — nrareffirly and prices under went a decline of 100 rois, at which extensive purchases were made on the 19th and 20th, followed by a reaction in prices, which from and after the 26th ruled as high as prior to the decline, and the market continued brisk at the close of the month. The sales, about 90,000 bags, were for the United States; the bulk of orders, without limit, has probably been completed, and unless purchases continue upon the like gigantic scale, prices may become more moderate, for supplies are much more free, and of thus° two-thirds new, and larger supplies aro at hand. The next European advices aro expected to bo favour able, but we must not fail to recollect that our actual currency prices are considerably in advance of the value in any of the consuming countries. The quotations given refer to new; old ruling at 100 to 150 reis less, and 50 to 100 reis in advance of our highest quotations were paid for choice parcels. MoNEv MARRET.—Discounts were abundant at 6 per cent.; demand very restricted, and business much more limited than in the preceding months. • EXCHANGE.—An extensive business was transacted, particularly for this steamer, attended by some fluctu ations in the rates. London-29i was the opening quo tation, and although bills were negotiated as high as 29i, by far the larger amount of transactions occurred at 29k, and 29, business having likewise been done on the 12th and 13th for the Tay at 28} and 28t. After the 13th nothing was noted until the 20th, when some large sums were taken at 29, the only rate until the 25th inclusive. On the 26th and 27th considerable amounts were negotiated at 291, later at 29 to at 60 days; 291 to at 90 days; 29 was the general quo tation on the 30th. Our estimate of the transactions of the month is -40,0001, including 20,0001. taken by the Treasury upon London; 950,000 francs upon France, &c.; 150,000 mares Banco upon Hamburgh. STOCK.—Very limited transactions at 91 to 92, the market having been fiat on the 30th ult. Specie—lf we except some little inquiry for doubloons prior to the sailing of the Prince steamer, when 29 500 wore paid, little was done ; the previous quotations and those which ruled later were 29 000 to 29 200. Patriot dollars ranged from 1 850 to 1 880. Shares—Commercial Bank rose from 625 to 640. Brazil Bank from 7 to 10 premium. POSTSCRIPT.—MONDAY, OOT. 13, TEN A.M. Coffee—No sales reported, quotations nominal. Shipped from the Ist to 11th, 101,301 bags. Stock this day, 130,000 bags. EXCIIANCIE.—The closing transactions on Saturday were at 284 to 29, 60 ds., 29 at 90 ds. upon London, 330 to 332 France. We estimate the transactions since the Tay at 400,000/. upon London, of which 40,000 taken by the Treasury, 900,000 francs upon France, and 300,000 mares upon Humburgh. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

HENRY MANVERS PIEIMEPONT.—This gentleman died on the 10th instant, at Thoresby Park, Notte, aged 71. The deceased geutleman was the father of Lady Charles Wellesley, and brother to the Earl Manvers, at whose seat he died. He was the se cond son of the first Earl Manvers, by the youngest daughter of John Mills, Esq ,of Richmond, Surrey. In 1818 he mar ried Lady Sophia Cecil, the daughter of Henry first Marquis of Exeter, and by that lady, who died in 1823, had issue, Augusta Sophia Anne, born 1819, now Lady Charles Wel lesley. The deceased gentleman was connected with diplo macy from an early period, and, in the service of the State, we believe, amassed considerable wealth. He was a graduate of Christ Church, Oxford, and the owner of property near Andover, Hants, which goes to Lord and Lady Charles Wellesley. Our readers may remember that it was while proceeding from Welbeck to Thoresby that the late lamented Lord George Bentinck died.

' Yesterday morning, about eleven o'cloci, the inha bithnts of 'Thomas greet, Kennington, and vicinity, were much alarmed by .a loud explosion, which nearly resembled the discharge of a piece of ordnance, and producing a violent trembling in the surrounding houses. On endeavouring to ascertain the cause vo lumes of smoke were seen to issue from the windows of Mr. Dixon's, No. 3, Surrey-place, near the Surrey Arms. Shortly after Mrs. Dixon was observed to rush from the house in a state of great excitement, and it was then understood that her husband had shot himself. On inquiry it appeared that a youth named Alfred Dixon, aged 15 years, a son of the foregoing, had, while his mother was engaged in the kitchen, gone up stairs and procured from an upper room a powder flask which belonged to his elder brother. The flask contained previous to the explosion nearly a pound of gunpowder. This the lad, Allred Dixon, held in his left hand, and in his right a small toy• cannon, which he was in the act of firing over one of the hobs of the front parlour fireplace, when some of the grains falling upon the live coals caused a communication with the flask, and the contents ex ploded. The poor lad was thrown on the floor by the Violence, but shortly recovering himself, rushed into the garden with both hands bleeding, exclaiming " For God's sake take me to a doctor's." He was instantly conveyed to Mr. Brown's, surgeon, of Camber well New-road, and eventually to St. Thomas's Hospital, when it was found both hands and arms were dreadfully lacerated, the left thumb being nearly severed. From the great hemorrhage which had taken place, it was feared lockjaw would ensue, but there is no doubt amputation of one or both hands will be necessary. The room in which the occur rence took place presented a scene of devastation. A great portion of the mantel-piece, brickwork of the chimney, soot, and rubbish were scattered on the floor; the pictures and other articles of furniture were dashed down and destroyed ; squares of glass were broken in the windows, through which had been driven into the street, to a distance of several yards, the; cap and neck of the powder flak, the remaining scattered fragments of which were found under the sofa, at the opposite side of the apartment. The ceil ing of the kitchen in the rear was thrown down by the explosion, and other parts of the house and furni ture materially damaged. General Cavaignao is about - to marry Mdlle. Odier, daughter of the banker of that name. The lady is said to possess a fortune of one million.

Between the first and second parts one of the directors, Mr. Goleinick, addre3sed the company in a few'words of great feeling, congratulating the society on their success, and en treating the company to continue with their patronage and support. The second part was opened by a trio from Beet hoven by M. and Mme. Goffrie, and Mr. Goodban which was most masterly executed, and was followed by Mdlle. Garcia's beautiful French song, which was most enthusias tically encored, with many other performances. The most agreeable r venin g was prolonged to a late hour, in the course of which it was announced by the Hon. Secretary, Mr. Detkens, that next Wednesday the celebrated Beethoven septet will be performed on stringed and wind instruments. THE INLAND REVENUE.-0° Saturday afternoon the immediate neighbourhood of White Swan-yard, White. chapel, was alarmed in consequence of the sudden appearance of Tyson and Blackmore, two Inland Revenue officers, and a large posse, of ,police constables, who, from previous informa tion, proceeded straight to No. 9, White Swan-yard, where, after having forced an entry, they found in the cellar a re cently set copper still, capable of holding about thirty gal lons, and a large quantity of molasses wash in a state of fer mentation in a great number •of barrels and other vessels, evidently prepared with 'the view of carrying on a very ex tensive contraband trade. The wash was thrown down the common seer er, and the still, which had not been used except for warming the liquor, was, with the other effects, removed to Old Broad-street, and condemned. 'The owners 'of the'stllt however, appeared to have received some information of their detection, and decamped before the approach of Tyson and Blackmore, whose extraordinary exertions in that district, and the peculiar measures adopted by them to discover these revenue defrauders, have so astonished them that they will be deterredfrom pursuing their illicit practices in that quar ter, at all events for some time to come.

Baronet the Member for Ripon. This, which might at the first blush, seem to be shrewd surmise, is now almost re solved into positive certainty. We learn from a Car lisle paper that, shortly antecedent to his being gazetted, Mr. Peel made a flying visit to Netherby, and having remained there a night wended his way back to Whitehall, and thereupon said " yes" to Lord John Russell. Lord Bacon tells us that straws thrown up show what way the wind blows, and by so slender a sapling, and by so very young a political twig as the M.P. for Leominster, we are enabled to learn how it fares with the older trees of the forest. To drop everything like metaphorical meaning, it must be very plain to every human being that, with his present Cabinet, Lord John Russell cannot go on till March. Against colonial mismanagement, against Grey arro gance, wilfulness, and petulance, the country cries out with one loud voice. England, as Kossuth said at Manchester and Birmingham, and as he re peated yesterday at the Hanover-square Rooms— England is not a country circumscribed within the handful of territory embraced in these little British isles ; but has colonies far and near in every latitude and in every sea. If the prestige of our country go in reference to one colony, in what position are the remaining ones ? It is not merely the expense or the enormous outlay, therefore, that in such a state and conjuncture would be in question, but the reputation —and on the reputation depends the power of Great Britain. Let but the despotic Powers of the Conti nent know we are in trouble, and think you they will not strain every nerve and put forth all their means to aggravate and increase that trouble ? The Premier sees and feels this. He full well knows that the ad ministration of Lord Grey will not bear an examina . tion, and therefore he needs must strengthen himself by some of the ablest of the Peelites. So, with this view the narrow edge of the wedge is introduced first, to the end that the Cabinet door may be forced open for a Graham, a Gladstone, and a Lincoln. OPENING OF THE SUB-MARINE TELEGRAPH. Yesterday the success of this important and inter esting undertaking, was again demonstrated by a variety 'of experiments, which were performed at Dover under the superintendence of Mr. Statham, of the Gutta Percha Works, Wharf-road, City-road, and Mr. Crampton and Mr. Wollaston, engineers to the Electric Telegraph Company ; - Lord de Manley, Sir James Carmithael, Mr. Campbell, solicitor to the company, and many other gentlemen who left London for the purpose, of being present on the occasion. The event created much excitement in the town, and a large number of the inhabitants assembled on the beach to witness the operations. On former occasions during the last few weeks, telegraphic communica tions have been transmitted to Paris by means of the sub-marine telegraph from the South Foreland, about four miles from Dover, and the success of the under taking has been already amply demonstrated. It however remained for those who have embarked in the undertaking, and to whose exertions the public are indebted for all that has been done, to com plete their work by proving the facilities for com municating between Dover and Calais. The object of the proceedings of yesterday was to establish the principle of submarine communication in its fullest integrity, by "opening" th e tele graph to the 'public, who have now the satisfaction of knowing that they can transmit messages, in the space of a few minutes, direct from London to Paris. O n the present occasion the opening and the closing pric es of the Paris BOurse were transmitted to the Stock Exchange in London during business hours I To add to the interest which attached to the proceedings of the day, several guns were fired through the medium of electricity, as formerly described, when certain ex periments were tried at the gutta percha establishment for the purpose of testing the efileiene Y of the wires. These guns wer e p l ace d on the cli ff s or o n _ the sea shore, and th e s i gna l b eing given from Dover, the electric spark was communicated from Calais, and the report on thi s s id e t h e channel was insta ntaneous. ' His Grace th e D u k e of Wellington being at Dover, in attendance at the sessions, was saluted on his leaving the town by a discharge from a 32-pounder placed in the east bastion of the Castle, the electric spark by which it was fired being sent across the Channel, from batteries at Calais, under the superin tendence of Mr. Brunton, chemist to the Gutta Percha Company.

INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF MurroN. --The de mand for good mutton was so gr ea t at the Oxford monthly cattle market, on Wednesday last, that a very considerable rise took place. Good 'wether mutton realized from 3s. Bd. to 4s. per stone. A pen of prime Downs (fed by the Duke of Marlboro4n), realized nearly 60. per lb. Good ewe :mutton was worth from sd. to sd. Store sheep of all de scriptions were sold 'at higher prices. • Beef 'fetthed 3s. '4d. per etone. Good English bacon hogs and porkers made t3s. pox !are: THE POLISH BALL. The promised presence of Kossuth had all the effect upon the fortunes of the Polish Ball that was expected from it. The sale of tickets, amounting to some 1,800 or 2,000, was greater than upon any former occasion, and the Guildhall, et a comparatively early hour, was filled with the patrons of the festivity, who were drawn together partly from sympathy in the cause which makes its periodical appeal to the benevolence of the public, and partly from curiosity to meet the renowned Magyar, whose advent in Lon don has been attended with such generous demon stration of hospitality and welcome. The illustrious guest arrived about eleven o'clock, and the event was certified to the crowd by a blast from the trumpets of Mr. Harper and his son. Met by Lord Dudley Stuart and several of the civic dignitaries, Kossuth arid Madame Kossuth, preceded by a body of wand bearers, commenced a tour of the hall, amidst the enthusiastic plaudits of the spectators. Having sat for a short period at the eastern end of the building, Kossuth, amid similar cir cumstances of escort, made his way to the concert room, where he experienced a reception of squat heartiness. About half-past twelve he moved into the hall again. The applause which greeted him at every step now increased in boisterousness and intensity, and the ladies pressed forward to shake the patriot by the band, which be complied with with a winning gentleness and humility of demeanour. It was nearly one before he got fairly clear of the building. The essbertainment, independently of this interest ing feature, bore a striking likeness to the entertain ments of other years. The decorations of the hall were the same as those provided for the great civic was exceedingly banquet on Lord Mayor's Day . The coupd cell alto getherch gaiety and liveliness to the ensemble, fancy costumes, although ' few in number, gave great lu minousness thrown over the s by the profusion of gas jets, and the blazin g star at a th e i.zand dazzling,t heextreme for the colourse western extremity, bringing out the variegated and the programe of dances includdewd very brilliantly.

TheEno lish artists who lent their services were the most digstin guished of their order. Among them were Alin Louisa Pyne, Miss Dolby, Miss Ransford, Me. w. Harrison, Mr. Weiss, Mr. Benson, and others, whose efforts, as far as we could judge, were regarded with infinite satisfaction. The cosmoramic pictures, the evergreens, the statuary, &c., constituted a series of pleasing objects in the lobbies between the hall and the concert-room, and the contrasts they presented added much to the general sentiment of enjoyment. All the principal civic functionaries were present, be sides many personages of high commercial note. The ball, in a word, went off with uncommon spirit and edit. The funds of the association will doubt less receive considerable augmentation when the re sults of the festival are practically ascertained; and we therefore can but congratulate the "Friends of Poland" upon the success which has so largely crowned this fresh effort in a noble and praiseworthy cause.
