They are still to be found—they are a numerous body; but they preiont t! emselves everywhere except at the enlisting stations. They are scattered wide as the limits of our own—and, alas! not alone of ours, but of American and Russian commerce and discovery ex tend. The merchant eervice has offered those induce ments of adequate pay, personal comforts, and con sideration which, not finding in that of her MAJESTY, they have been fain to avail themselves of elsewhere. Great exertions are being daily made by the Admiralty to recal them, and when the men find—and not till then—that length of service, and the infirmities of age, or the physical disabilities contracted by their spirited discharge of their arduous but honourable duty, will no longer entitle them to the melancholy premium of a cold and harsh dismissal from the calling with whose demands on their physical strength they can to longer comply, to that poverty, neglect, and wretchedness, to which it is the reproach of Great Britain for the last two centuries to have remitted them, but that they will be handed over to an honourable retirement, in which they may continue to subsist themselves on the pensions or half-pay that shall be granted to them in that repose for the remainder of their lives, which they have so dearly purchased by intrepid, long .sustained, efforts in their country's cause, they will rush to engage in that which will become—as it ought ever to have remained—the most popular of our national services. But these brave fellows have generous and ennobling feelings as well as physical wants to be gratified. Raise them in their own self-respect as well as that of their compatriots, by increasing the moral prestige of their calling. The anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, from one extremity of the empire to the other, ought to be the sailors' jubilee. Whatever a generous mo narch desired and secured to perpetuate the memory of the military victory of Waterloo, all this and more ought long since to have been provided, to keep visibly and honourably present to the perceptions and feelings of the people at large, and especially those of our seamen, the illustrious renown of the great sea fight and decisive naval •triumph of Trafalgar. Let us hope that another year will not be suffered to elapse without witnessing the foundation of some " Trafalgar" association, for the express purposes of rewarding the past and exciting the emulation of the future; of providing and retaining in available efficiency, at all times, the services of able seamen and petty and warrant officers on any great national emergency; and of combining with these great and invaluable objects the public commemoration of the most glorious of our ocean triumphs, the most consummate of our naval commanders, and the most disinterested of Bri tish heroes! 7'oulouse says it has received intelligence that in consequence of some dispute' which arose in a friendly tribe of the pro vince of Oran, M. BILLAULT, Chef de Bataillon, lately pro ceeded amongst them, ,escorted by four hussars, and accom panied by 31. MATHIEU DEDO3IBASLE, head of the Arab de partment. It is not known exactly what took place pre viously, but it is certain, adds the Journal de Toulouse, that 31. BILLAULT was basely attacked by the Arabs, who cut off his head. The ftte of M. MATHIEU DE DO3IBASLE and the four hussars has not yet been ascertained. The KING and QUEEN, Madame ADELAIDE, and Prince Pinup, of Wurtembercr, accompanied by General DE CHA BANNES, Colonel DU3IAS, and two orderly - officers, left St. Cloud on Sunday morning at eight o'clock for Chantilly, where they arrived at noon, and were received by the Mayor and Municipal Council. His Royal Highness the Duke D'AttmALE met. their MAJESTIES at Morlaye, on horseback. At two o'clock the royal party took a ride in the park laid forest, and returned to the Chateau at five. At eight their MA JESTIES and their Royal Highnesses left Chantilly, and ar rived at St. Cloud at midnight. The Royal Family will, it is said, go to Dreux on the Ist of next month, to pray in the sepulchral chapel, and will return on the 3d to take up their residence in the Tuileries. A Vienna letter of the. 14th instant states that the Em peror of RUSSIA arrived unexpecteJly by the railroad on the preceding day at Olmutz, and immediately went on by Prague for the Lake of Como. His MAJESTY is expected to remain six weeks in Italy. Count NESSELRODE, who is taking the same journey, arrived at Vienna on the 13th, and was to proceed in the evening of the 14th. The fidlovving historical account of ABD-EL-KADEE will be read with interest. From all accounts it is entitled to credi., for this remarkable man, it is well known, is adored by his fol lowers for his character ors a pri phet, as well as a successful warrior. The article is abridged from a sketch published in the C;ustitutinnncl:— LONDO - Nr, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1845. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER To TIII?EE. There was a very dull market for Cotton at .Liverpool yesterday, but without any change in prices. Sales 3,000 bags, viz., 350, Maceio, at 5%c1. to 6/4d. ; 100 Pernam, at 6/Ad. to 7d.; 200 Surat, at 3d. to 3 1 Ad.; and 2,350 Ameri can at 3 1 ,4 d. to 6d. per lb. A moderate business ivas done in Shares, and the market opened very dull and flat, though it afterwards improved and closed better. - The rate of interest for advances upon what may be termed first-class paper, remains at from 3 to 34 per cent.; and accommodation can be bad upon such approved securi ties at almost an unlimited extent. How fallacious are then, the assertions made in many quarters, that the deposits upon new railway shares mast lead to a derange ment of the Money Market ? As we stated yesterday, nineteen out of twenty of the projects formed, the pro moters of which are in a position to apply to Parlia ment for a Bill next session, have been paid upon, and the cash " at call" when the period shall have arrived for the payment of the 10 per -cent. " caution money" into the hands of the Accountant-General. That the payments have been bond fide made into the banker's hands, on account of the various projects for railway extension, cannot be a matter of doubt. Our Con temporary the Times finding itself in a difficulty to discover a parallel, and to eke out the false position it has taken up on the subject of the assumed effect likely to be produced upon the Money Market by 30,000,000/. or more being locked up for months, gravely refers to the circumstance of the Bank of England having hesitated to take the realisation of the com mercial assets ef the East India Company, on the winding up of the trading part of the Corporation macs.; at a very low rate of interest. The amount so placed by the East India Company (3,000,000/. or thereabouts) was deposited at call, and the condition of the Money Market was then far different from what it is at present. As to any effect being apprehended of a difficult character, it was never dreamt of by any party till the pre sent moment. It was a bargain entered into between two powerful corporations, which was for their mutual be nefit. To assume that the East India Directors would have become money lenders so as to reap a greater profit than the Bank of England offered for tempo rarily holding the commercial assets of this Company, is an assumption which needs not the slightest refutation. Our Contemporary must indeed be driven into a corner to support the crotchet taken up that a panic is inevitable, by noticing, in way of illustration, the bargain entered into between the East India Company and the Bank of England. At that time there were more than one discount house of high standing which would have readily paid a higher rate of interest than the Bank did for taking in the 3,000,0001. in question. There were Sydney papers to• day received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but we do not find any news of interest in them. The markets were again rather dull: The condition of the flocks is said to be very satis factory. There has been a considerable amount of business done in the Public Securities to-day, and the fluctuations have been rather considerable. Consols for Money have touched 971 , then receded to 97%, and rallied again to 97%. For the Account, the market value has been 97 5 and 97%. Bank Stock was yesterday done at 207. It has ruled to-day at 205% to 206%. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have advanced from 984 to 98%, but Exchequer bills have again receded to 425. premium. South Sea Stuck has been sold at 109. The Foreirn Securities are all heavy to-day. Mexican Sock commands but 31 1 / 4, the Portuguese Converted but 57 1 ,4, Spanish Five per Cents., 26 to 21%, Grenada, 2176, and the Dutch Two and-a-Hail per Cents., 58% ; ustrian Bonds, have realized 10 per cent. above _par. The accounts from the principal provincial share markets are rather more favourable. Here to-day much heaviness continues to prevail, and prices are most decidedly lower. The official list furnishes the correct quotations. ONE CLO7 36 .N y G 2 PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES. 20C "05 1 / 206 1 / 2 Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced ......... 3 per Cent.

" It is supposed that it was the conquest of Algeria by France that brought forward Abd-el-Kader, and that he emerged from ob scurity only to take the defence of the nationality of the Arabs. This is an error. If the expedition to Algiers had not taken place we should certainly have seen Abd.el-Kede r undertaking against the forte the work of ambition that he has attempted against the domination of France. For a long time past lie was predestined, in the minds of the natives, to become their chief during war, and their master and sovereign after having cast off the Turkish yoke. He had been prepared for this adventurous and brilliant part by his father, by his family, and by all the acts of his life. The father of Abd-el-Kaaer, Mahhi-Eddin, was a man of superior merit; ha was a learned theologian end a clever politician, and was esteemed a saint by the Mussulmans. His faintly enjoyed singular veneration, and three celebrated Mara bents had their birth in it in recent times. It descended from a famous personage, Maley Abd.el.Kader, who lived, it is said, in the eau ly part of the Hegira. This Mahometen saint, after having lung edified the province of Oran with the sight of his self-inflicted austerities, withdrew to a solitude in the envi. rons of Bagdad. There, like one of the saints of our own legends, he lived, says the Arabs, at the summit of a column, standing motionless on his left foot, and taking no other nourish ment than the few drops of rain which fell at long intervals. The prophet, adds the Arab legend, put an end to this miraculous ex istence by lifting him up by the tuft of hair, which like all good Mussulicans he wore on thecrown of his head, and opening to him the gates of paradise. alahhi. &Win, who was five times married, selected as his successor his third son, named Abd-el-Kader, in remembrance of his ancestor the Santon, and from his birth took care to make him the object of predictions and prodigies. From time immemorial, the guetna (a group of houses or tents), which serves as the residence of the family of Abd.el.hader, in the tribe of the Hachem Cheragas, has been a place of pilgrimage for the Arabs. On New Year's-day and great Easter they carry thither as a homage money, wool, oxen, and sheep. A local proverb says that he who gives a boudjou to the holy de elling shall fled ten on his return. These pious gifts in the course of time formed a pretty large treasure, which was increased by the care of Mahhi-Eddin, and has• more than once been useful to his son. The soother of Abd-el-Kadder, Lilla Zo hare, the only Arab woman, who can read and write, has also re. ceived from Heaven, according to popular tradition, special gifts. Much has been said also of her beauty and intelligence. After losing his father in 1833, Abd.el.Kadcr transferred' to his:mother all his respect and tenderness. She is for him an object of worship. Mahhi Eddin spared nothing to make the child of his predilection fit for the mission that he was to perform. Be lieving that be was destined to be a warrior and a saint, he fortified by incessant exercise his weak constitution; he made him an in trepid horseman, sober, and capable of bearing great fatigue, and expert in the use of the fiissah (a long heavl sword), the stick, and the musket. Under the direction of a clever master, he was in. structed in the laws, geography, arithmetic, and astronomy. At the age of fifteen he was sent to a celebrated professor at Oran to learn politics. Mahhi Eddin himself, who had already performed a pilgrimage to Mecca, and bore the title of hadji (pilgrim), un dertook his religious education. He communicated to his son all the science of a marabout. The young man was noticed to be continually plunged in meditation, to shun all the pleasures of youth, and sparing of his words, for lie never opened kis mouth except to utter a sentence of the Prophet, with lis eyes cast downwards with humility. He was consequently regarded as a saint even before he had attained to manhood. His pale and pensive face, like those of the grave monks of the middle ages ; his eyes at once mild, expressive, and penetrating, his attitude full of dignity, every thing in him bore the imposing gravity which shows a superior mind, and exercises so much autho. ray over men of action. He soon acquired over the tribes of the province of Oran such an ascendancy as to inspire alarm in the Turks. His father had resolved to set out with him for Mecca, and, on this being announced, 3,000 horsemen, nearly all of supe rior birth, offered themselves as an escort. Hassan, the Bey of Oran, took umbrage at this, and, having apprised the Dey, received full powers to act. He ordered Mahhi Edden to disband his little army, and to proceed to Oran with his son to give an account of his conduct. They had the courage to obey. On their arrival they were thrown into prison, and their death appeared certain. They Iwere brought before the Bey, and it appears that Abd.el-Kader, although so young, contrived by his address and eloquence, to dis. arm the hey of his anger. They obtained their pardon on the condi tion of their quitting the count' y for a certain period. At the end of two years, Mahhi Eddin and his son reappeared in the province of Oran. They had in themeantirne visited at Mecca the tomb of the Pro phet, and in the environs of Bagdad the six marabouts who remind posterity of the virtues of Muley Abd.el.Kader. It was here that Mahhi Eddin pretended to have had a miraculous vision, in which the vocation of his son was revealed to him. He related that one morning, after a night consecrated to prayer and macera lions, he saw Muley Abd el-Kader descend from Heaven, surrounded with light and glory, and received from him the announcement of the brilliant destiny of his son, and the gift of an enchanted apple as Muley Abd-el-Kader left hien to return to paradise. He added that - - Abd el.Kader, on eating this apple, had in a manner become im. bued with the soul of the holy Muley, that a crown of glory encii OW his forehead, that his voice became like that of the mara. bout, and that he was for the future invulnerable. Abd-el-Kader, who was still grave, silent, and studious, and constantly engaged in plow exercise, was soon surrounded with universal respect. Every day troops of the faithful flecked to his tent, and withdrew delighted, after seeing him meditating over the book of life, and praying with fervour. The Bey of Oran, becoming more and more alarmed, resolved to strike a great blow; but the French expedition left him no time for it. It is known that he decided on opening the gates of the town which he commanded to the French, who then heard for the first time of Abd-el- Kader. His father had preached the holy war and had _ _ placed himself at the head of the Arabs. From May 3d to 9th, 1832, Oran was attacked with fury by the natives, under their young chief. Abd.el.Kader displayed the most brilliant valour. He had a horse shot under him, and his burnous, covered with blood, was preserved as a relic. After this affair he was more than ever regarded as invulnerable. His election as Sultan shows that this expedition, although unfortunate, had powerfully contributed to his greatness. It took place at Ers , ,bra, its the plain of Eghris, on 28th September, 1832. The day before, tne chiefs of the Ha chems, the Garabas, and the Beni limners, had already pronounced his name. He had refused, however, and proposed an influential chief, Sidi. el Arrach. On the day of the election a scene took pace which was probably concerted. Sidi.el.Arrach declared that, during the night, Muley Abd.el.Kader had appeared to him, and de signated the third son of Mahhi Et!din for the votes of the As. sembly. Mahhi Eddin stated that he had had a similar vision, and that his own death had been predicted. Abd-el-Kader, therefore, was proclaimed Sultan. the Arabs are firmly con vinced that, his election was the work of the holy marabout, who, they say, visits him daily when he is alone in his tent. From the moment of his election, Abd-el.Kader has been in. vested with a sacred character in the eyes of the Arabs, and he has neglected nothing to keep up the ascendancy which he exercises. Like Mahomet, like Cromwell, 'like nearly all the great men who have, at different periods of history, ruled over superstitious and credulous nations, he turns to profit, whilst he shares in popular belief, and does not disdain to call to the aid of the designs of his God, the resources of human politica. We will only cite one instance. One day when be was holding forth a hegro fell upon him with a cangiar in his hand. At the moment when he was going to strike, the aggressor suddenly stopped, threw away his dagger, and exclaimed that he saw supernatural light en the brow of the Sultan. He fell upon his knees, Abd.el.Kader gravely, and without apparent emotion, touched his forehead with his hand, and said that the prophet granted pardon to his repentance.''

Daring the reigns of HENRY VIII., ELIZABETH, and other Sovereigns, when material alterations were made in the liturgy, or canons, or discipline, it was no uncommon thing to hear of hundreds of clergymen who resigned their livings rather than force their consciences, and openly i profess tenets which. they inwardly abhorred, but in these days another rule is the guide of our clergy; they prefer " filthy lucre" to a clear conscience, they receive large in comes from the established Reformed i.llrurch, while they , malign Its doctrines, declare the Reformation a great crime; adore the Pope of ROME, and conspire to destroy the Esta blishment. which at the altar they had taken s3lemn oaths to defend. A few have seceded, as if to try public patience still more by proving that for more than four years they had been Roman Catholic:s in disguise, and that the hundreds, perhaps theusands, that remain, who pro fess to thd full extent their tenets, are guilty of the same double-dealing and plotting for the ruin of the Protestant faith. The secession of NEWMAN, the great chief of the sect, leaves no doubt whatever of their entire conversion to Romanism ; yet it is singular enough that while these rene gades disgrace the English Church, as well as the character of Englishmen, no measures have been voluntarily taken by the Bishops to wipe out the stain. Every resistance has come from the laity; they have complained to the higher authori ties, from whom they have received only rebukes and insults; they have, in many instances, deserted their parish churches, and nothing but a general disruption of the whole fabric has induced even one of the Prelates to take a move in the right direction. That, however, has been done in the least possible effective way, and with the worst grace. There have been no meetings at Lambeth Palace, to take steps against the encroachments of Popery, no mani festo on the part of the Bishops in favour of Protestantism, now undermined at the rational seats Of learning; and when these Fathers in God have ventured at.all to allude to the new doctrines, they have shown themselves infinitely more disposed to encourage than to check them. Yet these same leaders, with only a few exceptions, voted against Catholic emancipation and the Maynooth grant. They have iu every question brought before Parliament relative to the Irish Catholics shown the utmost hostility to that people, urnler the garb of religion, and remain quiet spectators when they know to a certainty that at least one third of their own clergy are as good Catholics as Father M'HALE or DANIEL O'CONNELL. Such a loose morality , such a total want of principle, and such glaring persecution of seven mil ions of their fellow-subjects, afford a melancholy picture of the times. It only shows that religion is mixed up with the question to catch the multi tude, while political and selfish motives are the mainspring of their actions. The Ir's h Oran g emen, too, proclaim their hatred of Popery—they threaten destruction to the PEEL Ministry for granting some acts of favour and justice to Roman Catholics, but they are silent as the grave about PCSEY and NEWMAN, and the traitors that infest Oxford and Cambridge. How can Englishmen then respond to such a manifesto as that just issued by Lord RODEN to the Protestants of the empire? They know well that the Protestant religion is only used by Orangemen as a stalking-horse, and that all they want is full power, as formerly, to persecute and destroy the men whom they have injured. While Puseyism is allowed to spread through the land unheeded by these pretended de fenders of the faith, no confidence can be placed in their pro testations or in their avowed motives for overthrowing the 1 PEEL Cabinet, ......- We have intelligence from Madrid to the 15th inst., from which we arc glad to learn that the Finance Minister is en gaged in another important measure of reform. It is well known that the important duties on many Engiish and French manufactures are enormously high, and that a general system of smuggling, which no military force can put down, is the cons •quence. Senor Mug has turned his attention to the ruinous practice, injuring alike the revenue and the morals of the people, and has directed the Commissioners of Customs to draw up a new tariff, by which many articles now entirely prohibited would be a mitted at a reasonable duty, and the tax on others considerably diminished. The Com missioners have also been directed to make inquiries into the character of the persons employed in the collection of the Customs, with a view to get rid of those who arc in league with the smugglers. This will be found a laborious task, for all are implicated,, and the country people, who profit by the system, will not be likely to give evidence against them. The report Of the Cemmissoners, it is understood, will be laid before the Cortes at its meeting iu December. Letters from Barcelona of the 15th state that the new income-tax had been resisted at Gerona, that a collision in consequence had taken place between the people and the Civic Guard who protected the tax-gatherers,_ and that several lives had been lost. No business was done on the Madrid Bourse. ----- --- According to accounts from Paris, the stock and share market still continued greatly depressed at the close of busi ness on Tuesday. The Three per Cents. bad fallen 40c., and the Fives 10c. Considerable fluctuation bad taken place in railway shares; but, on the whole, the appearance was bet ter, and several of them had recovered from the depression of the previous day. The run upon the savings' banks had not much abated, but as the sumswithdrawn had been chiefly invested in railway shares, and the rage for that mode of in vestment had been checked, it was anticipated that a favour able change would soon be the result. No further news had been received from Africa, and the principal topic of discussion in the journals is the resignation of Marshal SOULT, and the remodelling of the Cabinet. The Con stitutionnel says there can be no doubt that SOULT wishes to resign, but his colleagues have besought him not to withdraw for the present, and gives the following reasons :—" It would be necessary to find a Minister of War of a rank equal to that of the Governor of Algeria, the principal of his subordinates, and who would exhibit great activity in the conduct of our affairs in Africa. This is the first difficulty. In the second place, it would be neces sary to resolve the question of the presidentship of the Council. But the profound unpopularity of M. Guizor, the very slight aptitude which he exhibits for all matters not exclusively of a political character, render .several of the Ministers, and particularly' M. DUCIIATEL, averse to M. GUIEOT'S taking that post. Hence the almost universal desire of the Ministe rs to preserve Marshal SOULT, though weak, in the midst of their weak Cabinet. They only ask him, besides, to keep the title of president. What matter is it that the atieirs of the war department are ill or well con conducted, and that all goes by chance? Is not M. DUCIIA TEL there to give votes—and M. GUIZuT there, by his speeches, to furnish pretexts for requiring them? Marshal Souvr will watch over his health, and the Ministry will look sharp to keep itself in existence.. The rest is nothing." The Epoque a Government paper, says There is great incorrectness, or to say the least, great confusion in the rumours. Marshal SOULT has never thought of separating himse lf from the I Cabinet, although his health requires that he should be relieved in part from the fatigues of office. It is not only since his return from the country that he has testified this desire; ha had intimated it previous to his departure both to his colleagues and the KING. The news, therefore, is about three months old. We hope that the Marshal's health will be completely re-established, and that he may still continue to preside over the yinistry, by which his judgment is so highly app: . eciatv d. But we know that in no case will he withdraw his concurrence from the;Cabinet, nor his se: vices from the KING." According to the Courrier Francais the Dukes D'Auei.u..E and DE MONTYENSIER are about to set out for Africa, to join the expedition egainet ADD-A-LUMA The Journal de STATE OF NEW ZEALAND. The following is an extract of a letter received at Lloyd's from their agent at Auckland, under date the 24th Mav : " The blockade of the port at the Bay of Islands is still in force. Another engagement has taken place between the natives and the soldiers, in which the latter have been par tially successful. About 14 soldiers and marines are killed, and the large number of 37 wounded. The natives, on the other hand, have about 100 killed, and a large number wounded. Hostilities have for the present ceased, and the troops are on their way returning to this place (Auckland)." NOTICE TO MARINERS. • TEIGNMOUTH HARBOUR LIGHT-HOUSE.

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL. ) MATHESON V. REYNELL. This was an action brought to recover the sum of IV. 165., for gravel supplied for the defendant, who paid 81. into Court, which he contended was all that he was indebted. The facts of the case were these :—The plaintiff is the lessee of some gravel pits at Kensington, and the defendant is the owner of a great portion of Kensington-crescent. In April last defendant went to the pits, and said that he wished his half of the crescent to be regravelled. He did not fix any quantity, but said he wished it to be done in a superior manner, and made a good job of, as the inhabitants complained of the manner in which Mr. Scargill's portion was done. Plaintiff was to send in as much as necessary, and to get men to lay it down. It was proved that 70 cubic yards (single horse loads) had been sent in, charged at 3s. a yard. This charge was alleged to be low, the usual price being 4s. On the part of the defendant a witness was called, who de posed that the plaintiff was told by defendant's agent after wards that 27 loads would be about the quantity required. Plaintiff, however, said that he had received his orders. It was contended that 27 loads would have been enough, as only 20 had been used on a previous occasion. It was ad mitted that the quality was good, and the work done well, but it was urged that a tradesman was not justified in avail ing himself of a vague and general order to " make a good job" to rend in three times as much materials as was necessary. In reply it was contended that the defendant's agent, who was overlooking the work, ought to have interfered if lie thought there was an unnecessary delivery. Verdict for plaintiff. BRICKLEY AND ANOTHER v. BARDELL. This was an action to recover the amount of an attorney's bill, but the case was postponed. The Court rose at eleven o'clock. BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) IN RE JOHN SAVAGE. This bankrupt, who was a licensed victualler in Compton street, Soho, came up for his final examination. Mr. LUCAS appeared to oppose, on the ground that the in solvent had not rendered a full account of his property, and that the assignee of the estate, who was friendly to the bankrupt, had disposed of the house to the brewers ''or just the amount of their debt, although it was at least worth double. The insolvent said he formerly kept a house in Circus square, Marylebone, but lost the license ; he then sublet portions at 134/. per year, but in May last gave up possession to his son, on condition of his taking all the liabilities and pay one year's rent due-1101. He did not know whether his son had any money. He was a lawyer's clerk, and lawyer-like, was very reserved.—(Laughter.) He believed that his son had interfered for the sale of the house in Compton-street to the brewers. Mr. Feistell, a wine merchant, was called to prove that the insolvent had said his house without a music license was worth GOO/. or 700/., but with one it would be worth 2,000'. in two years. He had a music license at the time. Witness was on the point of becoming a partner a short time since. The brewers debt was 400/. or 500/. Mr. LUCAS said, in addition to these objections, the bank rupt had put down his brother as a creditor, but left the amount blank. a. The bankrupt said he could not tell the amount, and be lieved the statute of limitations protected him. The COMMISSIONER said, as the name was down the sche dule must be amended, and the case must be adjourned. The bankrupt, however, should have protection. BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) Thomas Charles, a boy of about 17 years of age, in sailor's dress, blue flannel shirt, and red handkerchief, was charged by Mr. Boswell, the relieving officer, with stealing from the workhcuse in Cleveland-street. The youth was an inmate, and on Monday last was seen in bed between four and five o'clock in the morning, but by six o'clock he had absconded over the wall, carrying off a stock and plaid belonging to the watchman. It appears he has been thrice rigged out for sea at the expense of the workhouse — the last time about nine months ago—and returned after wards in rags. He has been before the Magistrate already on a limilar charge, when he was sent to prison for twenty , one days. He was sent to prison for two months. - YELLOW FEVER AT MALTA.—The Gazette du Midi states that the Mongibello steamer, which arrived at Marseilles on the 16th of October, has brought news that the yellow fever had made its appearance on board a vessel which had entered the port of Malta. The number of cases was said to be two, one of which was followed be death. On receiving this news, the Neapolitan Council of state had assembled, and laid the matter before the Board of Health, which immediately ordered all vessels from Malta to be sub jected to a strict quarantine. This intellingence is not con firmed, however, from any other source.

INCH ISLAND, OCT. 13.—A large brig was driven cn shore this morning in great distress. So imminent was the danger considered by the crew, that they all deserted her as soon as she struck, taking such of their clothing and valuables as they could lay their hands upon. Fortunately Francis Eagar, Esq., J.P., and agent for Lloyd's, and Francis Bland, Esq., J.P, were almost immediately on the spot, and they afforded every assistance in their power to the suffering crew—pro curing cars to transport their property and themselves to the nearest shelter, &c. It is but justice to say the country people, particularly two men named Cahalane and M e oriarty, behaved themselves very well. and with the greatest kind ness, towards the shipwrecked strangers. The injured vessel proves to be the brig Princess Royal, Belihis, master, of 185 tons, from St. Andrew's, New Brunswick, laden with deals, twenty-eight days at sea. The masters wife, a most interesting-looking woman, was very near being drowned in the attempt to get ashore. She owes her life to the intrepidity of some of the country people, who plunged into the water and rescued her quite exhausted, she was soon happily revived by the use of cordials and resto ratives provided from the summer cottage of Mr. Bland, at &Inman Indeed, that gentleman's kindness and attention to the master and crew was most valuable and praiseworthy. Ism ISLAND, OCT. 14.—The vessel remains in the same place still ; every effort was made by the Coast Guard of Bells, Minard, and Lack, to board her, but in vain. Mr. Blard and Mr. Eagar are still attending on the strand most anxious to have her boarded ; also the Revs. George and Jas. O'Sullivan, palish priests, who attended both days and ex horted their flocks not to commit any plunder in case of wreck.—Kerry Evening Post. SINGULAR TRAIT OF HONESTY.—In the course of Saturday a shop boy was sent to the bank with a 204 note to get it changed into small notes, the which, having got, he put them for safety into the crown of his bonnet. As he was passing along Ingram-street, a sudden gust of wind blew off his bonnet, and the notes took flight in various directions. The boy stood aghast, and, as was natural, shrieked in despair of his ever recovering a singe note; but fortunately for him, and as displaying a trait of honesty highly commendable in the denizens of Glasgow, various parties, who had ran in pursuit of the stray notes, came, one by one, till at length he was put in possession of the whole twenty.— Glasgow Argus. CHARLTON, OR HORN FAlR.—This annual car nival in the vicinity of Woolwich commenced on the I Sth inst., and was concluded on Tuesday. The weather being remarkably fine and dry during the three days it lasted, thoasands of the inhabi. tants of the metropolis availed themselves of the cheap fares to Charlton and Woolwich, by the Woolwich and Watermen's steam - packets, to enjoy a short river excursion, and on no former occa sion was the company at the fair known to be so numerous as on the present. On Monday evening, a number of the gentlemen cadets entered the fair and took two or three turns round the booths and stalls, and on some of them being refused admittance to witness the interior of one of the booths, it was apprehended a disturbance would take place, but fortunately their absence from barracks was soon discovered, and the appearance of Lieutenant Christie, at tached to the Cadet Company. induced them all to return home. It was said there were several of the variegated lamps broken, but it is questionable by whom, as on former occasions, during the presence of gentlemen cadets, damage has been done to vehicles and other articles, and they have ben charged with the offence, from an impression, which has in some instances been found correct, that their parents or friends would pay any reasonable corn. pensation rather than allow the names of the gentlemen cadets to be brought before the public. There were hundreds of the Royal Artillery and Royal Marines at the fair every day, who conducted themselves in the most peaceable manner. Amongst the exhibi tions were three or four large tents, designated Fives Courts, and having the names of almost every professor of the art of boxing ex. hibited in large letters to induce visitors to enter but they did not appear to be well attended. Cheapness was the order of the day, the admittance to the principal booths for dancing having been re. duced from Is. to fid. each person, and those performances formerly charged 6,1. at.d 3d. to witness them, uniformly reduced to Id., or, as they were appropriately designated, " Admission postage price, one penny." The police of the R division, by excellent manage ment, a little coaxing. ►nd, when necessary, a show of authority, succeeded in clearing the fair about twelve o'clock on each night with very little trouble. SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT AT EALING.—On Tuesday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a frightful accident occurred to a young man named West, a brick:ayer, who was at work on a scaffolding at the mansion of Sir John Young, at Ealing. He was walking along the planks, at a height of thirty feet, when one of the boards not being properly fixed over the por. tico, it overset, precipitating him to the ground. In his fall his head struck the scaffolding poles with great violence. He was removed to St. George's Hospital, where it was ascerained that the skull was so extensively fractured that no hopes are entertained of his recovery. OTAIIEITE.—By the Indus, which arrived at Liver pool on Saturday last, advices have been received from Valparaiso to the 28th of June. A letter, dated the 21st of July, addressed to a mercantile house in this town, contains the following rather startling announcement :—" We have a report here that her Ma jesty's steamer Salamander has been sunk by a French frigate, the Uranie, at Otaheite; but we have not been able to trace the re port." In the absence of any information as to the source of the report, or the chant:El by which it had reached Valparaiso, we can. not consider it entitled to credit, particularly as a letter of the 28th gives no 'further information respecting it.—Manchester Guardian. THE WEATLIER AND CROPS.—The weather, during the past week, has been wet and showery, and few opportunities have been afforded for securing the crops In those places where they still stand out. In this neighbourhood, beaus excepted, the fields are nearly cleared. The almost total failure of the potato crop is exciting great alarm among all classes. Whole fields are so entirely destroyed, that they would not defray the expense of raising them. One hundred bolls of them have been oftbred for one hundred shillings, and refused.—Ayr Observer. _ _ FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, OCT. 21.—The Moniteur of this date contains in its official part a report from the Minister of the Interior to the King, which says, that though the general state of the crops must. in a great degree dispel the fears which were entertained at first relative to the articles of subsistence, yet the failure of one of the principal articles must very se riously affect the poorer classes during the winter. The f&Toniteur observes, that the communal schools are mostly at - tended by the children of parents who are scarcely able to provide food and clothing for their families; he therefore thinks that it would be very good and advantageous to em ploy a portion of the funds destine-t 1 to the encouragement of primary institutions in giving food and other assistance to poor children who frequent these establishments. Ms Ma jesty accordingly decrees, that a sum of 15,000 francs shall be employed for the purpose, and distributed among the sa-• veral provinces of the kingdom. The electors of I3russels met yesterday to choose a member of the Chamber of Representatives in the room of M. Rogier, who has accepted the nomination for Antwerp. The candidates were M. Leon Cans, President of the Tribunal of Commerce at Brussels, and M. Van de Weyer, Minister of the Interior. The number of registered electors is 4,074, of whom only 1,591 voted. Absolute majority, 796. M. Cans obtained M. Van de Weyer Lost votes ..... 45 1,591 RECRUITS FOR THE ROYAL ARTILLERY.—M23or Greenwood, C. 8., left Woolwich in the early part of August last for Elgin, N. 8., on the recruiting service, with one non-com missioned officer and several gunners and drivers, and letters have been received at Woolwich from them stating that they had not obtained one recruit. This has not arisen from any want of exertion on the part of the Gallant Major and the men en gaged under his directions, but is entirely owing to the poor prospects held out by 6d. per day pensions on retiring from the service. Formerly some of the best and well-educated young men in the counties of Aberdeen, Banff, Moray, Nairn, and Inverness, joined the Royal Regiment. of Artillery, and several of them have been deservedly promoted from the ranks, and now enjoy the highest position they can attain as cemmissionect officers, and staff noncommissioned officers, with certainly of excellent retiring pensions on quitting the service. It is doubtful, however, if these parties would ever have been induced to enlist in the Royal Regiment of Artillery had not the prospect of Is. per day been held out to them under any circumstances, and without rising from the ranks; and it is well known that the poor pittance of 6d. per day held out to ycung men as the reward for serving their country during the best part of their lives, is the cause of the great reluct ance of Scotchmen to join the Ordnance corps, and even line regiments, at the present period. It is not generally known that the pension warrant, reducing the former pension warrant from Is. to 6d. a-day, held out the prospect of id. additional per day to every soldier's pay at the end of seven years of good conduct ; 2d. per day at the end of fourteen years, and 3d. per day at the end of twenty-one years, which he may enjoy in addition to his pension ; but young men do not comprehend these gradations, and consequently are reluctant to enter the service. Were the pension warrant of sixpence a day rescinded, and one shilling, as formerly substituted, the difference of charge to the country would be insignificant, and an excellent class of young men would be induced to enter the corps. The Royal Sappers and Miners' branch of the ordnance service find no difficulty in obtaining recruits in Scotland at present, and Glasgow has furnished a large number. The preference is given to the Royal Sappers and Miners, because the men are allowed pay for working as well as soldier's pay, and Scotchmen, with their generally provident habits, piece deposits in the savings.bank, to assist them in increasing the amount they have to depend on when they are discharged from the service.— Tunes. COMING EVENTS, &c.—As many as 17,000 news papers have been found in the General Post-office with their covers burst. The reason for the newspapers bursting is ac counted for by the fact that they contain so many railway bubbles. Punch. INAUGURATION OF HER MAJESTY'S STATUE IN THE ROYAL EXCII ANGC. —The interesting ceremony of the inauguration of her Majesty's statue in the centre of the merchants' area of the Royal Exchange will take place on Tuesday next, the 25th inst., it being the first anniversary of the opening of that splendid edifice. Our accounts from various parts of the surround ing district represent the weather during the past week as generally unfavourable for harvest operat ions—frequent heavy rains, generally aceompanied with boisterous winds.—Cumberland Pacquct. DARING 017TRAGE.--About half-past 6 o'clock on the evening of Saturday last two ruffians attacked and committed a most murderous assault upon the person of Mr. William Bunting, articled clerk to Messrs. Parsons, Benn, and Parsons, solicitors, of Mansfield, whilst returning in a gig from Nottingham to the latter place. At the period of this brutal attack Mr. Bunting was driving at a very steady pace, when he was struck a most severe blow on the back part of his head. The injuries which Mr. Bun ting received from this blow were of so dreadful a nature that he was rendered insensible, and his head was severely cut, and laid open in fire different parts, the wounds being two and a half inches long, and extending to the bone. Mr. Bunting was completely covered with blood. Fortunately, before the villains proceeded to other acts of violence and maltreatment, or before they had time to rifle the pockets of their victim, they were alarmed by the ap pearance of a farmer on horseback, who came up at the moment, and instantly gave the alarm, but the robbers succeeded in making their escape. The spot where this daring outrage tookillace was a complete pool of blood, and is between Thieves and Harlow woods, about 21 miles from Mansfield. The unfortunate gentleman had only a short time previous to the attack passed the man on horse. back, who, hearing the cries of Mr. Bunting, called out, " What's the matter ?'' and on riding up ata quick pace, he observed the two men make off In the wood on each side of the road. The night was dark, the moon not having risen, and it is supposed that one man stopped the horse (the animal stopping very suddenly) while the other attacked Mr. Bunting from behind. It is conjectured that the ruffians had mistaken Mr. Bunting fur Mr. White, stock ' broker, who was expected home from Nottingham about the same hour; and what makes the supposition the more probable is, that both Mr. White and Mr. Bunting were driving white horses. 'This daring a ttempt at murder and robbery has created the g reatest cx. citement in the neighbourhood, such a diabolical outrage not hav ing been committed in that part of the country before this period, and a reward of fifty guineas has been offered for the men's apprehension. The full particulars of this outrage has been laid before the county magistrates, who, it is thought, at their next meeting will offer a further reward, so that these villains may be brought to condign punishment. We believe it is also intended to lay the case before Sir James Graham, the Secretary of State, so that a further reward may be offered by the Government for the.apprebension and con viction of these daring offenders. No clue bas as yet been afforded to the perpetrators; but they cannot be strangers to the county, otherwise the person of Mr. White would not have been so well known to them, as there can be no doubt it was Mr- White for whom they were lying in ambush, and who it was expected would have a large u a y ati o a u tr rich s b p o e o r t s 3 o . n ; Buntingthe robhhciars consequently expected to obtain n e b een attended by a medical gentleman ever since the murderous a tt a ck, and we rejoice to be enabled to state that he is now con. s idered out of danger, althoui,h very weak from th e l oss o f bl ood. rof money l a , j r , c p ; a r, : s e s d i g a f t a n 7 l , , ), c , ° ra n t s r i g h t e h C c o r u n n u t r y d e c r o e n u s s t a zt u t l a a e r k y , The medical attendant states that very favour a bl e symptoms have a :\ r l e r s . n ß a u k i i i n t g ing th i ie s most active inquiries, and by their exertions it is yet hoped the cowardly villains may be discovered.—berLyshire Courier. SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE REGISTRATION.--The re vision of the list of voters for the Southern Division of the county of Stafford is now Completed, and the results are such as the most sanguine Free Traders were not prepared to anti cipate—such, hr fact, as to justify the opinion that should an election take place on the present register, two Free Traders would be returned to Parliament by a considerable majority. The total Free-trade gains 936. For these results the Lihe• ral part , are indebted to the Anti-Corn-law Leaguer-. Wor. cestashire Chronicle. The following table (says the Precurseur) seems calculated to interest our readers respecting the imports during the nine months ending Sept. 30. The following imports bave been entered at the Custom-house of Antwerp. We warrant the correctness of the figures, which have been taken from official sources : Wheat 51,210,804 kilogrammes Rye . . 5,003,888 Barley Oats Buck wheat Beans 179,275 1 Vetches Potatoes We must observe that importations imported before the 80th of Sept. are not included in the above table, which contains only what was entered at the Custom-house. The table seems calculated to allay the alarms of the country with respect to the articles of subsistence. If potatoes are not so plentiful as might be desired, there is a compensation in other articles. Besides, the imports continue, and will be more considerable in October and November than in the preceding months. _ __ BELGIAN FUNDS.—BRUSSELS, OcT. 21.

BANK OF CEYLON-(THIS DAY.) The fourth General Meeting of this banking company, in corporated by royal charter, was held to-day in the Com pany's officlit Broad-street; Thomas Young, Esq., the Chairman of the Board of Directors, presided on the occasion. The report, read by the secretary, gave a very flattering ac count of the corporation. It stated that the bank had been of the greatest benefit to the trade and commerce of the colony, as well as profit to the shareholders. The business, however, had increased so much that the directors recom mended the doubling of the capital by issuing cne new share, of 251. each, for every one at present held by the proprietors. The report concluded by recommending a dividend of 3i per cent. for the half-year, out of the undivided profits in hand on the 30th June last; payable on the 15th of November ensuing. After some brief remarks from the Chairman, who stated that the bank from the beginning had been so well managed, that not a single-bad debt had been incurred, the report was adopted, and resolutions founded on its recommendations unanimously agreed to. The Court having passed a vote of thanks to the Chairman and Board of Directors, broke up. SUDDEN DEATH OF COLONEL ADEY, LATE OF THE 30 Gu Amos. —On Wednesday an inquest was held before William Carter, Esq., the Coroner f or Surrey, at the Lord Nelson, Old Kent-rood, on the body of Thomas Adey, Esq., aged 69, late of the 3d Guards, who died under very melancholy circumstances. Mr. W.. G. Acley,of No. 2, Claremont.place, Old Kcnt.road, stated that the deceased was his father, and resided in the same house. On Friday last he dined with his family at three o'clock, and ate very sparingly of fish. He had been subject to paralytic attacks, and at five o'clock said he would go and lie down. He got up from his seat and went to the bedroom, when he took off his coat and waistcoat. He then requested his wife to unbuckle his stock, but before she could get to him he fell down on the floor in a p ow erless state, and upon witness going to him discovered he was black in the face. A medical friend was sent for, but before hi s arrival the deceased was dead, having lived but five minutes after the first attack, and witness had no doubt it was caused by apoplex.y, and not by anything ,he bad taken. Verdict—" Died from natural causes." Previous to the commencement of this in quiry the coroner fined a Mr. Harrison, who had been summoned on the jury, 40s. for not attending, and said that in all cases it would be necessary to adopt a similar course; persons so fined must also be aware that having once inflicted the fine he had no power to remit it, and it would certainly be enforced.
