[The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of last night:—] FRANCE. Ordre, the organ of M. Odilon Berrot, has ''Jllowing on the Society of the 10th December : Several journals have announced that the Society .ee Dix Decembre was in a state of dissolution. Nctional of yesterday contradicted the assertion, and stated that a meeting of the members was to take place the same evening in the Rue St. Domi nique, in the room of the Freres Ignorantins. The meeting, in fact, took place, and t h e Pouvoir last evening published an account of the proceedings. Gen. Piat was in the chair ; M. Gallia, censor of the society, and formerly director of the journal the Dix Dicembre, now the Pouvoir, pronounced an opening address. We omit the details given of the organization of the mutual aid funds, and come to the part where M. Gallix announced that the society had enregistered 1,400 new adherents in twenty-five days. That may be true, and it is because we look on it as such that we pay more attention than ever to the society. It is, in fact, rumoured abroad that the existence of this society has appeared to the Socialists an ex cellent means of reorganization, in order to be ready for every event. They in consequence get them selves enrolled in the society, under cover of which they find a security which M. Carlier's police did not for a long time leave them. You are going to ex claim against this, but the best argument would be to publish your lists of affiliation. If you are a mutual-aid society, as you assert, you ought not to hesitate to make the names of your adherents known. Such a course would prove more than all your pro testations. We shall only add, that the day of the review of Versailles a man, whose name and address we can give, boasted of being affiliated in the Society of the Dix Decembre because he was a fencing-master—just say what mutual aid can be expected from a fencing-master. The same day a man, accused of having uttered language not very re spectful towards the President of the Republic, but pretending to have applied it to the Ambassador of Nepaul, was dragged into the wood of Satory by men who said that they belonged to the Society of the Dix Decembre, and beaten with sticks. We do not de fend this man, but we ask if that is what you call your distribution of mutual aid? May. God preserve us from your works of beneficence ! We will name to you, if you please, the witnesses of these two facts." The examination into the affair of disturbances of the Drome is being actively carried on. The leader of the affair, a man named Pascal, his brother, and another individual known by the soubriquet of Gaillon, have just been arrested by the Gendarmerie of Loriol. The authorities, as we mentioned at the time, had received information that a number of the rioters had taken refuge in the Department of the Ardec...he, which forming part of the Bth Military Division was beyond the regime of the state of siege. They were besides informed that a clandestine manufactory of gunpowder, on a large scale, existed at Pouzin, in the house of a man Sou beyran, a man of desperate character, and who had been heard to declare that the first gendarme or police agent who approached him should receive two balls through his body. General Lapene, who commands in the Drtime, arranged with the authorities of the Ardeche to put an end to this state of things, and an expedition was organized to advance on the place by both banks of the river, under the command of Commandant 011ivier. The expedition arrived at Pouzin at an early hour in the merning, after having invested in their way several of the neighbouring communes. The Prefect of the Ard eche was on the spot with several brigades of the Gendarmerie of his department. As early as five o'clock in the morning the armed force presented itself at the house of Soubeyran, and, in the name of the laws, summoned him to open his door. A moment of silence followed during which the cocking of a double-barrelled gun was distinctly heard. The door immediately after opened and . Soubeyran appeared with the weapon in his hand, but seeing the force with which he had to contend he appeared to hesitate, when M. Chev reau, the Prefect, rushed forward, laid hold of him, and presenting a pistol, to his breast, sum moned him to surrender. Soubeyran, however, by a sudden movement broke from his grasp, and running to a window which opened on the river, jumped into the Rhone and disappeared. Some soldiers immediately ran to the other bank to arrest him when he landed, but nothing more was seen of him. On searching his house a powder manufactory, completely organized, was found, and a great number of cartridges and several seeks of powder were seized. During this time several arrests were made on the opposite bank of the river by the Gendarmerie. The troops evinced the most praiseworthy zeal in the affair ; they marched a distance of twenty-five miles during the night, and remained under arms a great part of the following day. By this well-organized expedition all the villages on the banks of the Rhone have been cleared of the men, who kept up a constant agitation in those parts. Two delegates of the Maronite population have ar rived in Paris. They have come in the name of their countrymen -of the Libanus to ask the French Government for a concession of land in Algeria. This population has always been regarded as honest and industrious colonists, and their introduction into Algeria must be considered as highly desirable. Algiers journals up to the 25th have arrived, but contain no news of interest. The Ahhbar has made a notable discovery, and solemnly calls the atten tion of France to it—it is that Lord Palmerston is trying to engage Spain and Portugal in a treaty w ith England for the destruction of Al g eria! The Minister of War had ordered Brazilian and other plants to be sent to the colony to see if they could not be naturalized. The cases of cholera in Algiers up to the 24th were 67, 43 of which were fatal. The tribunal of Oran was proceeding with the trial of the persons concerned in the alleged con spiracy, but up to the 20th nothing of very great im portance was proved in evidence. The Echo d Oran was to be prosecuted for giving an unfaithful account of the trial. The Democrate de Blidah had ceased to appear in consequence of repeated condemnations. GERMANY. The Hanoverian Government has ordered a reduc tion in the garrison of Hanover of 40 men per com pany. This was considered a proof that it has no intention of intervening in Electoral Hesse. The King and the Prince Ferdinand of Denmark left Copenhagen on the 26th for Flensburg, and were to remain absent a week. The Duke and Duchess of Bordeaux arrived at Frohsdorf on the 16th, and M. de Salvandy on the 20th instant. Advices from Cassel are of the 26th instant. Mr. Councillor Scheffer has been sent for by the Elector, who has offered him a place in bis Cabinet. It is stated that the Austrian diplomatists at Frank fort insist on the removal of Mr. Hassenpflug, whose private character, they protest, will always tend to place the Elector in a false position. Lieut.- General Bauer, who has resigned the chief command of the Hessian troops, is to be succeeded by Major- General Haynau, the father of the Hessian Secretary st-War. The standing Committee of the Diet has addressed a petition and remonstrance to the Elector. DAN ÜBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. A letter from Constantinople, 15th inst., in the Debats, says—" A conspiracy has been discovered at Bucharest, which has very extended ramifica tions. Several arrests have taken place. Al though this plot has failed, it has produced a moment of crisis, by bringing into action the different influences which divide the Government at Bucharest. Stir Beg, the Prince of Walla chia, had wished to profit by the opportunity to change his Ministry, composed of men the majority of whom have been forced on him. Russia supports him in this idea, because the present Cabinet appears to be better disposed towards the Porte than towards the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, and she hopes to get Stir Beg to accept in a new Ministry the services of some of her creatures. Ahmed Vetik-Effendi, the Turkish Com missioner, has, however, defeated this double intrigue, and the Cabinet has not been modified. The above facts prove how very precarious is the duration of tranquillity in the Danubian provinces." ITALY. The Monitore Toscano publishes two important grand-ducal decrees, dated Florence, Sept. 21st and 22d. The first runs as follows : ‘1 We, Leopold IL, &c., considering that the poli tical circumstances of Europe, and especially those of Italy and Tuscany, have not permitted, and do not permit as, for the present, to restore that sys tem of representative government, which, granted by us in February, 1848, was afterwards overthrown by revolutionary violence in February, 1849, and which we nevertheless declared it was our intention to revive, so as not to incur a renewal of similar scenes of disorder; considering that, under the imperative influ ence of the aforesaid circumstances, it is not possible to define the period when the present precarious state of things may cease ; and lastly, considering that it is meanwhile indispensable to provide speedily and ef ficaciously for the better administration of the country, and the consolidation of ()icier and public tranquillity, retaining, as far as the times will permit, the princi ples sanctioned by the statute,—we have decreed and decree as follows :—Art. 1. The Council General of Deputies, the sessio❑ of which was opened on the 10th of January, 1849, and then interrupted by the subse quent revolution of February, is dissolved.—Art. 2. Until a new convocation of the Legislative Assembly be possible, all power shall be exercised by us, after consulting the Council of State in the cases requiring its advice. and retaining, as far as possible, the prin ciples sanctioned.by the fundamental statute.—Art. 3. Our Council of Ministers is charged to execute the present decree. (Signed) " LEOPOLD. (Countersigned) "BALDASSERONI, LANDUCCI, LAML" The second. decree modifies the laws on the press. Proprietors of newspapers in actual existence are authorised to continue their publications on condi tion of observing the articles of this decree. The Minister of the Interior may suspend a journal at a moment's notice, and the Council of Ministers may suppress it. The suspension cannot last more than a month. The proprietor may appeal to the Coun.. cil of Ministers against it. Governors and pre fects may seize, and prevent the distributio n of, any number of a journal or periodical which may appear dangerous. In that case they must im mediately inform the Minister of the Interior of such measures. The penal articles of this decree prescribe fines of BM. to 500 f., and imprisonment varying from five days to two months. The editor, printer, and dis tributor of a paper during its suspension are all equally liable to be punished for such infraction. The Provincial Congregation of Milan, abolished by the Intendant of the Imperial Army, has been re stored by order of Field-Marshal Radetelty. TEIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1850.

A man of rather stately deportment, who said he was a railway agent," was brought before Alder man Gibbs, charged with having walked into the premises adjoining a banking-house in Lombard street, witheut having any business to trensact there. The defendant, the rapid movement of whose eyes indicated that all was not right within, had been seen looking about cautiously in his own opinion, but in such a manner as to excite great caution in other people, and at last slipping in at a hall door which was most invitingly open, he was followed, and asked whom he wanted to see and what business he had to transact, and as his answers were wholly beyond the comprehension of those who addressed him, he was handed over to the care of the police and taken to the Compter, where he seemed to be very comfortable during a two or three days' abode. Alderman GIBBS having inquired about the unfor tunate man, learned that he had been, during the ailwmania, one of the adv e nturers i n ruinous ray speculations, and that his losses had, in all proba bility, affected his mind. Upon being told that the circumstances under which he was found were very suspicious, he stared and said he was informed by some people in the street that somebody was waiting for him inside, so in he walked. A waiter, at a coffee-house in the neighbourhood, said the defendant had walked in there several times as if he was an old customer and ordered dinner without having a farthing in his pockets. Alderman GIBBS said he feared the poor fellow was the victim of railway disappointments, and deli vered him to his friends, who promised to keep him out of such dishonourable difficulties. GUILDHALL. Thomas Francis was placed at the bar before Al derman W ilson, charged with stealing eight ivory bagatelle-balls, value 11. is., the property of John Jefferini, the landlord of the Rose, in Farringdon street. Mary Regan, servant to Mr. Jefferini, of 2, Far ingdon-street, said she was coming down stairs on Monday afternoon, when she saw prisoner take the balls from the bagatelle-board, and afterwards put them into his hat. He then came down stairs and met witness at the door. He then asked her what time parties using that house would go into the room, and she made him no other answer than imme diately calling out " thieves." He ran away, and she followed him into the street, and cried " stop thief," when a policeman stopped prisoner and took him into custody. The balls were found on him. Those pro duced, she believed, were the same she saw prisoner put into his hat. Police-constable 244 corroborated the last witness's statement, and further said that when he stopped prisoner at the top of Braziers' -buildings, near Hol horn-hill, he dropped something, but witness could not tell what it was. Police -constable 240 deposed to several parties, who were merely bye-standers picking up the bagatelle balls, which prisoner had dropped on being taken. Mr. Jefferini (the celebrated clown) appeared and identified the balls as the same he had lost. He con• sidered they were worth abeut one guinea. Mr. Wilson, of the Dolphin, on Ludgate-hill, pre ferred a similar charge against the prisoner. The following were the circumstances : John Smith, the pot-boy to Mr. Wilson, said that about three weeks ago the prisoner came to Mr. Wil son's house, and ordered some refreshment ; after waiting a short time he Ids the house, and on wit flees going into the room a few minutes after the balls of the bagatelle board were found to be mis sing. On that occasion prisoner was dres3ed in a blue striped jacket and a black waistcoat. • Alderman Wilson said that the last case was very su-picious, but the first would not admit of a doubt respecting the prisoner's guilt. He would, however, remand the prisoner for a few days, to allow the officers an opportunity to obtain further evidence, both as regarded the prisoner's general private character, and also the extent to which this practice had been carried by him.—Remanded accordingly. Thomas Wilhins, a constable of the D division of metropolitan police, was brought up in the custody of Inspector Colin Grant, for final examination on the charge of' defrauding the treasurer of Middlesex of 3s. 6d.; also with defrauding Elizabeth Collins of a like amount, under the following circumstances. Mr. Parry appeared on behalf of the prisoner. Elizabeth Collins said her buaband was convicted at the July sessions of the Central Criminal Court of committing a violent assault upon her, and trans ported for ten years. She was allowed her expenses. Prisoner had to pay her. She only received 14s. from her brother-in-law, who had it from the prisoner. Had made inquiries and found that 21s. had been allowed her. expenses, n p s e , aess(inuatdJenkins. saidp eehh nt h einhkm e rdewi George Jenkins proved having only received 14s. from prisoner for Mrs. Collins. And Maria Jenkins deposed to signing the bill of ex penses with her mark, but she received no money from the prisoner either at the time or after. Mr. Reid, clerk to Mr. Clark, the clerk of the arraigns, said he allowed Mrs. Collins 21s. for six days' attendance. She was only entitled to five days, but in consequence of some statement made by the prisoner, he allowed her an extra day's expenses.

Mrs. Collins was unwilling to prosecute, and Mr. Broughton threatened to commit her if she did not. The magistrate directed prisoner to take care of her. Felix White, grocer, said he was with prisoner at the time he paid Mrs. Collins's sister 17s. It was put on the counter. Doble, prisoner, and himself, supped together the night of the trial. Prisoner said to Doble that 3s. 61 extra had been allowed him for his trouble, and he then gave Deble ls. 9d., and told him it was all square. Several other witnesses were called, who proved that Mrs. Collins had been frequently heard to say, " This is the shop where that fellow lived that trans ported my husband for 44. 61 . per day, while I had only 3s. 6d. I will do for them both, and begin with the " bobby" (meaning prisoner) first. Mr. Parry urged, on behalf of the prisoner, that 17s. 6d. had been paid to Mrs. Collins, and the other 3s. 6d. was due to himself, inasmuch that it was out of Mr. Reid's power to allow anything extra to the officers engaged in the Old Bailey trials, in any other way than by adding it to the expenses of one of the witnesses, and giving the officer permission to deduct it. Mr. Reid, on being recalled, said that he never ex ercised any such power. He never by any chance al lowed the officers in any case to deduct anything from the allowance of witnesses, and to appropriate it to their own use. Alderman SIDNEY said that if he left the case of the 17s. 6d. out of the question altogether, there would be no doubt remaining but that prisoner had misap propriated the sum of 3s. 6d., and by so doing wa s guilty, under the Police Act, of a breach of his duty as a police-constable, and consequently liable to be fined accordingly. It was a very painful duty for him to have to adjudicate in such a case, particularly as his decision would certainly have the effect of blasting all his future prospects in life. However, the case was of such a nature as to require a strict investiga tion, 'which had been made, and the result proved that prisoner was at fault. He would, therefore, fine him al., or one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. with havin g MARLBOROUGH'STREET. BETTING O FFICES .—WiIIiam illiams was charged house of M r .

But when the language on the placards was of a deseription to create a m,:b and lead to a breach of the peace it was impossible to permit such proceedings in the public street. With respect to betting offices, he considered they were a great public nuisance. They were generally the arenas of quar relling, fighting, and disputes, and he should be very glad to see all of them suppressed. The tendency of these betting places was to demoralize all classes who visited them. Young men were induced to bet be yond their means—an appetite was thereby created for betting, than u hich nothing was more destructive to morals. He considered these betting places were the source of every kind of mischief. After a suitable reprimand and caution, the defen dant was discharged. EXTRADITION OF POLES FROM FRANCE. -- Monsieur C. Szulczewski, secretary to the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, having made inquiries into the case of Andrew Minginowiex, the Polish soldier found begging in the Haymarket, who had been ex pelled by the French Republic from France, sent a communication to Mr. Hardwick, of which the fol lowing is the substance :—The Pole served, in 1831, against Russia in the war of independence. He emi grated afterwards, and entered the foreign legion in Algeria. He returned to France, and, in 1848, went with some of his countrymen to Cracow, but was compelled to quit the country. He enrolled himself in the Polish Legion in Italy, and after the campaign sought refuge in Switzerland. From Switzerland he went to France, from whence he was expelled in August last. Within the last fifteen months '2OO Poles have come to England, alleging that they had been compelled to quit France by the French autho rities. As the national grant for the relief of the Poles bad been limited of late, some wealthy Poles had been appealed to, and they had raised about 1,2001. for the relief of their more unfortunate compatriots. The donation from the poor-box to the Pole had been withheld, as the secretary had found out the man was addicted to drinking, the society only recognising and relieving Poles of good character. CLERKEN WELL. James Newman, a tall, athletic Irish labourer, was placed at the bar, charged with having violently as saulted Jenny Lind, a married woman, by which she was seriously injured. The prosecutrix, whose bead awl face were bound up with adhesive plaister, stated that she lived with her husband in Benett's-road, St. Luke's. Oa Monday night, about eleven o'clock, she was walking along Golden-lane, when she was importuned by the prisoner, when she told him to go about his business, on which he knocked her down, and while she was on the ground he kicked ber desperately on the head, &c., and injured her so severely that she was taken to a surgeon,-who dressed her wounds. Her cries brought Sergeant Standen, 11 G, to her assistance, and the prisoner was taken to the station-house and locked up. Mr. CoMn (to Jenny Lind)—Were you sober at the time ? Jenny—Lord bless you, yes—l was as sober as a judge. I never got drunk in all my life. Sergeant Standen—Why, they were both drunk, your Worship. I saw her husband after the charge was taken, and told him ; when he said he had been waiting at home for her all night, but he supposed she was out getting drunk as usual.—(Laughter.) The prisoner, in his defence, said that he was first accosted by Jenny, who was drunk; and because he would not treat her she followed and abused him, when he pushed her away, and she fell with her head against the kerb-stone. He denied having struck or kicked her. Mr. COMBE—Make her some compensation. Prisoner—l offered her 29. Jenny (exposing the plaisters)—What, 29. for this cut head ! Prisoner—You'll get no more from me. Mr. Comps—Then I'll fine you 205., or 14 days' imprisonment. He could not pay the penalty, and he was locked up, when Jenny Lind left the court, singing small, without compensation. She had appeared at this court before in a similar character. SOUTH WARK. Yesterday two men named Mills (brothers), and Mary, their mother, were placed at the bar before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with making a disturbance in the Surrey Theatre, and assaulting the police in the execution of their duty. Peckham, the constable attached to the theatre, stated that about half-past ten on the previus night a disturbance occurred in the gallery, which had the effect of interrupting the performance. He proceeded to ascertain the occasion of the " row," and on going up the gallery-stairs he met a man coming down with his face covered with blood, who complained that be had been assaulted, and pointed out the defendants as his assailants. Witness, finding the defendants were still making a great noise in the house, tried to prevail upon them to be quiet, but they disregarded his entreaties, and it was at length found necessary to call in the aid of the police to quell the disturbance ; and when an attempt was made to eject the defendants they became more violent than before, and both the men being young and powerful, they fought and kicked the policeman, and it was with much difficulty they were at length lodged in the station-house. The defendants exhibited their clothes, which were torn, and said that they had been roughly handled by the police. Mr. ATECKETT said that the defendants had no right to create a disturbance in the theatre, and that the police were justified in ejecting them, and that it was not to be wondered at that the defendants bad their clothes torn when they resisted in the manner described. The magistrate then inflicted a fine of 3/. on Benjamin Mills, he being-the chief aggressor in the transaction; and the other defendant was fined 11., or, in default of payment, the former to be impri soned three weeks, and the latter 14 days. The woman was discharged. WORSHIP-STREET. George Hall, a person connected with sporting affairs, was charged before Mr. Arnold with having attempted to jump into a railway carriage attached to a train, while it was in motion, by which he was liable to a penalty of 40s. It appeared from the evidence, that about six o'clock that (yesterday) morning, just as the down train to Newmarket, by the Eastern Counties Rail way, was starting from Shoreditch station, the defen dant arrived on the platform, stating that he wanted to go by the train. It had started at the time, when he was informed by Mr. Gardner, the inspector, that he must stop. He observed that it would be a loss to him of 1001. if he did not go down by that train. He then gave a leap into a third-class carriage, just as the train had reached the turn -table. The defendant was in the most imminent danger. He 'was balancing on the door, an,d by the least jerk he would have been thrown off. Mr. Gardner called upon the driver of the engine to stop the train, which was promptly done, upon which the defendant was given into custody. Mr. ARNOLD observed that the question was, had the officers of the company the power to give any one in custody under such circumstances? Mr. Gardner said that many persons who had caused obstructions and committed offences like the present, had given wrong directions in consequence of which he had received instructions to give offenders into custody. He subsequently produced the com pany's Act, and read the 103 d section, which was " for securing offenders whose names and residences are unknown.' It recited " that it shall be lawful for any collector, strvant, or other officer of the said company to seize or detain any person whose name or residence shall be unknown to such collector, &c., who shall have committed any offence against the provi• sions of the Act, and to convey him with all conveni ent dispatch before some justices of the peace within whose jurisdiction such offence shall have been com mitted, and such justices are ordered immediately to convict or acquit such offender." The defendant was fined in the mitigated penalty of 10s. LAMBETH. THE ARCTIC REGIONS. Dispatches of some length and apparent particu larity have just been received from the Arctic regions. We wish we could add that the intelligence conveyed is either satisfactory or conclusive, but even our sus pense receives, unfortunately, no relief from the tidings now communicated. On the contrary, a re port of the most deplorable character has been put into circulation, and although the concurrent impres sions of the officers employed are clearly, and, as we think, reasonably, against its credibility, yet the whole story is so loosely related in the dispatches before us that the general reader would find it difficult to extract sufficient evidence either for his information or his judgment. We are sure, therefore, that we shall be doing the public an acceptable service by placing before them the facts and the obscurities of the case in a somewhat more intelligible form. About the middle of August last certain of the vessels composing the several expeditions in search of our lost voyagers appear to have encountered each other somewhere to the head of the well-known Arctic gulf called Baffin's Bay. Near the northern extremity of this bay is a projecting headland of con siderable extent, and such a mountainous aspect as to have received the name of the Arctic Highlands. It exhibits three conspicuous capes that to the west being called Cape White, that to the east Cape York, and that in the centre Cape Dudley Diggs. Between Cape Dudley Diggs and Cape White an indentation of the coait u forms a tolerably capacious bay, which is called Irastenholme Sound, or as we now learn, " Ourinak," or " Oininak," in the native tongue of the Esquimaux. On the 13th of August Captain Ornmanney in the Assistance, and Sir John Ross in the Felix, being somewhere off Cape York, observed three male Esquirnaux on the ice close by, and with these people it was pru dently resolved to communicate. Accordingly, Lieutenant Cator in the Intrepid steamer, tender to the Assistance, and Commander Phillips in the whale boat of the Felix, put off on this service. The In trepid's people arrived first, but apparently without, any means of expressing their desires, so that when the boat of the Felix, containing an Esquimaux in terpreter, joined the party, the natives immediately gave signs of recognition and satisfaction, came into the boat without the least hesitation, and engaged themselves presently in a long and animated conver sation with their countryman, the interpre'er. Half an hour was devoted to this interchange of intelli gence, but with no immediate result, for the inter preter could only translate his native language into Danish, and as no person in the boat understood , Danish, the information remained as inaccessible as I before. In this predicament the boats returned with the intention of confronting the interpreter—whose Christianized name is Adam Beek—with Sir John Ross himself. As Sir John, however, was pushing a-head in the Felix towards Cape Dudley Diggs, and as Adam appeared anxious to disburden himself of his newly-acquired information, the boats dropped on board the Prince Albert, another of the exphiring vessels in the neighbourhood, and there put Adam in communication with the captain's steward, John Smith, who " understood a little of the language," as Sir John Ross says, or " a good deal," as Captain Phillips says, and who presently gave such an account of the intelligence as startled everybody on board. Its purport was as follows:—That in the winter of 1846, when the snow was falling, two ships were broken by the ice a good way off in the direction of Cape Dudley Diggs, and afterwards burned by a fierce aid nu• merous tribe of natives ; that the ships in question were not whalers, and that epaulettes were worn by some of the white men ; that a part of the crews were drowned, that the remainder were some time in huts or tents apart from the-natives, that they had guns but no balls, and that being in a weak and exhausted condition, they were subsequently killed by the na tives with darts or arrows. This was the form given to the Esquimaux's story by John Smith, captain's steward of the Prince Albert. Impressed with the importance of these tidings Captain Ommanney and Captain Phillips immediately made their report to Captain Austin in the Resolute, which was then in company with the Felix near Cape Dudley Diggs. Captain Austin at once decided upon investigating the credibility of the story, and with this view dispatched a message to the Lady Franklin, another of the exploring ships, which lay a few miles off, and which had on board a regular Danish interpreter. This interpreter duly arrived, but proceeded forthwith to translate the story by a statement "totally at variance" with the interpreta tion of " the other," whom, as we are told, he called a liar and intimidated into silence, though no sooner was the latter left to himself than he again repeated his version of the tale, and stoutly maintained its ac curacy. Meantime an additional piece of information became known, namely, that a certain ship had passed the winter safely housed in Wolstenholme Sound—a statement soon ascertained by actual in vestigation to be perfectly true, and since fully elu cidated by the return to this country last week of the vessel in question—the North Star. Such are the heads of the tale to be extracted from the dis patches. In estimating the character of the report, we first observe that Captain Penny, commanding the ship Lady Franklin, roundly states in his official letter of the 21st of August, that "having offered his services, together with those of his interpreter (the Dane above mentioned), be was happy to find the sole foundation for the tidings to be that the North Star had wintered in the place referred to." This plain and unhesitating statement is exceedingly acceptable, for Sir John Ross's communications either confuse us or leave us in the dark on almost every point which it is desirable to certify. We are not, in the first place, explicitly informed what was the version of the story given by the Dane in contradiction of that given by " the other," nor is it even readily discoverable who this "other" was, whether Adam Beek or John Smith, or a native, with whom the Dane was first confronted. From one of Sir John's com munications we should conclude the former, from another the latter. In the next place it becomes of especial importance to identify the source of the only piece of information actually discovered to be true, viz., the wintering of the North Star in Wol stenholme Sound, since such a verification of testi mony on one point gives a general credibility to the whole. From Sir John's dispatch to the Hudson's Bay Company it appears that this iutelligence was derived by his own agency from Adam Beek, but no such conclusion would have been suggested by the sister dispatch of the Gallant Captain of the Admi ralty. In fact, the communications are so loosely worded that it is, as we have said, extremely difficult to make them yield an intelligible and consistent nar rative. The leading piece of evidence is that of Adam Beek, and if the question turned solely on the comparative accuracy of the interpretations given to his story, first by John Smith, and next by the Dane, we might hope that the depositions of the Esquimaux himself, which we yesterday printed in the original tongue for public edification, might he applied by some learned philologists to solve the pro blem ; and this, from one of Sir John's dispatches, we should have imagined to be the real case; but from the other it would rather appear that the credibility questioned was that of Adam Beek himself, and that the Dane was confronted, not with John Smith, but with Adam Beek in person, before tpe face of the original native inforinants, and that on this evidence he confirmed the story of the North &Lir, but charged Adam with the pure invention of all the rest. Even here, however, there is a possibility of Adam's justi fication, for the natives themselves might have varied in their statements at their different interviews with our officers. Captain Penny, we observe, speaks of " the Esquimaux from whom the report was obtained" as having been on board his ship for several hours without making any such communication, though he was, doubtless, subjected to questions in abun dance. Ann Bird, the wife 4 a coffee-shop-keeper, in the Lower Marsh, Lambeth, was fully examined before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of attempting to strangle her husband. From the statement of Mr. Games, who attended on behalf of the husband and the testimony of the wit nesses, it appeared that, owing to the dissipated con duct of the prisoner, her husband was compelled to turn her out of his house, on an allowance of 6s. a week. This sum the husband paid her until latterly, and until information had reached him of various acts of adultery on her part, such as would exonerate him from all legal responsibility for her support. Having been refused her allowance, the prisoner made appli cation to the parish of Lambeth fur a maintenance, when the beadle took her home to the house of her husband. The husband denied his right to be called on to support such a woman, but the beadle left her in the house, and having availed herself of an opportu nity of her husband being alone, she with great dex terity slipped a handkerchief round his throat, and drew and tied it so tightly, that had assistance been delayed but a moment or two longer, no human skill could have restored hire to animation. As it was, it was with the utmost difficulty that the medical man called in restored him to consciousness, and as a proof of the narrowness of his escape he still remains in an exceedingly weak and feeble state. The prisoner had been remanned, in order to have the testimony of the medical gentleman and other witnesses taken prepa ratory to her committal for trial, but one or two of those witnesses being still absent the prisoner was again remanded. WANDSWORTH. On the whole there seems every reason t o concur in the clear opinion of the inquirers on the spot that the circumstantial narrative of the two lost crews is without any foundation in fact, though whe ther the fabrication or misconception be due to the native informants, to the native interpre ter, to John Smith, or to the Dane, may be points not readibly ascertainable. Perhaps the Arc tic experience of some of our readers may enable them to judge in some degree of the probability of a " fierce and numerous tribe " having made such an attack as that described at the point in question—Cape Dudley Diggs. We own, however, to a disbelief in the story from the evidence already furnished, and we think it by no means improbable that the anxious and inces sant prosecution of our inquiries in these waters may have suggested motives to the native tribes for invent ing or magnifying tales likely to arrest the attention of their eager visitors. Against such delusions we must be well on our guard, though such information may perhaps be the best we can find in aid of the ex ertions we are now making with such indefatigable vigour.— Times.

Not Quite so much demand for barley, but thsre is but little afloat, and we do not hear of much being on the passage. Less doing in beans, but a good inquiry for peas, with very limited supply.

I.—At our market this morning there was a good attendance of the town and country trade, whose purchases, however, were quite of a hand to-month character. Foreign wheat was only saleable at a reduction of Id to 2d per 701bs, and new Irish weill dtlfieult to move, though offered at a decline of 2d to 3d per 701bs, 53 9d being the extreme value of beet prepared parcels. New oats and oatmeal were hardly inquired lor, and may be noted id per 451bs, and 6d par load lesser. Bsrley, bEans, and peas were taken in small quantities, at late rates.

Sir,—The past month of September opened with $ very high barometric elevation, which was sustained with little variation for the first 18 days, averaging diurnally by my record, taken at 9 o'clock A.M., 30.2 3 in. hes. On the 19,h the mercury had dropped below 30 inches, and continued low to the end of the month, so that the last 12 days averaged only 29.72, exhibit ing a diminution in the atmospheric pressure of more than half an inch of the mercury daily, as compared with the first 18 days. On the 29th the mercury, which stood 29.84 at nine o'clock A.M., fell rapidly, , and was, a t th e same hour on the 30th, 29.35, haying dropped nearly half an inch in 24 hours. The mercury continued falling till this morning at six o'clock, whets I found it at 29.16, with a convex surface. At nip. :o'clock it had risen to 29.24, and at six o'clock tbii 'evening was u p t o 29 49, still rising. The wind has been stormy an d variable, with ahowers, which is net unusual at the period of the year when the sun passes the line. On the average of the whole month there appears to have been a daily increase of 3-20ths of ne, inch in the elevation of the mercury as compared wit° la,t year. There has been but a slight difference irs the temper a t ure, averaging the 30 days, from that o' , the last two years ; but to-day the heat has not et' ceeded 57i in the shade. —I am, Sir, your subscriber , Bermondsey -square, Oct. 1. H. P. ' MONEY MAAKET —The premium on gold at Pari s is 6 pe r m ill e, which, at the English Mint price 42f .31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an el' 'change of 25.30; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.27 i, it follows that gold is 0.10 Pe r cf,flf, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from liamburgh the price of gold is 433} p er mar k, w hich' ,at the E ng li s h M int price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce Or standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.91; and the es' change at llamburgh on London at short being 13 . 8 ' it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer in Ham: burgh than in London. The course of exchange New York on L on d on for bills at 60 days' sight is 11 per cent ., an d the par of exchange between England so, !America being 109 2 3 . 40 per cent., it follows that th e exchange is nominally 0.67 per cert. in favour of Ea . , land, ant i a f ter making allowance for difference small ci): interest and c h arges of transport, the present ra m leaves a profit on th e i mportation of gold from th e .
