The Oxford University Commission had a meeting yesterday, at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street. Present—The Bishop of Norwich, the Dean of Carlisle, the Master of Pembroke, the Rev. U. G. Liddell, J. L. Dam pier, Esq., the Rev. Professor Powell, the Rev. G. H. S. Johnson, and the Rev. A. P. Stanley (Secretary). Dispatches were sent off yesterday from the Colonial Office to the Governors of the West India Islands. COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening last an accident occurre 1 at Nevell Colliery, near Osmondthorpe, in the borough of Leeds, by which one man lost his life and another was so severely injured that he is not expected to re cover. The colliery belonged to Mr. Farrell, and had been recently sunk. It was about seventy.five yards deep, and the works were so far completed that the bed of coal was ex pected to be worked in the course of a few doys. A man of the name of Hopton, who had for a considerable time acted as the steward at the colliery, having control of the works both above and below, went into the pit along with a black smith, to affix a pipe to convey some water to some part of the works. As these two men were in the act of ascending the shaft of the pit in a skep suspended by a rope worked across a drum by a steam-engine, the rope broke, and they fell to the bottom, a distance of from forty to fifty yards. Assistance was rendered as quickly as possible, and the bo dies of the two unfortunate men were brought to the bank, but death in the course of an hour afterwards put an end to the sufferings of Hepton, and the other man lies in a very precarious state. Ilopton, who was a very steady man, has left a wife and six or seven children. There are different rumours as to the cause of the accident. One is that the rope slipped from the end of the drum, for want of an edge to keep it in its place, and, coming in contact with the spindle on which the drum revolved, was shifted until it broke. Another is, that the rope was an old one and needed repair. The coroner's inquest on the body of the deceased stands adjourned from Monday to Thursday next, in order that a Government inspector of coal mines may have an op portunity to be in attendance. A PRECEDENT FOR DIVIDING THE CHANCELLOR smi'.—The Literary Gazette, in reviewing " The Judges of England," by Edward Foss, says," The most curious inci dent connected with the law in the reign of Edward IV. was the existence of two chancellors acting at the same time for many weeks, both recognized by royal authority. On the strength of this precedent, Mr. Foss throws out the suggestion In the question which at present perplexes lawyers as well as Ministers of State, as to the most ex pedient division of the laborious duties now devolving on the keepers of the Seal, who can tell whether this discovery of an ancient authority may not suggest the division of the title between two possessors, in the same manner that two chief justices were formerly substituted for one chief juAi ciaryl.' " ME. lIUME, M.P., IN THE HIGHLANDS.—After delivering himself of his well known "financial and poli tical statement" to the electors of the Angus burghs, the veteran Member for Montrose proceeded along the east coast of Sealant], and the shores of the Moray Firth, as far as Redcastle, the picturesque seat of Mr. Henry Baillie, the Member for the county of Inverness, where, together with Miss Hume, he remained for a few days, and then returned south. Redcastle being within a very short distance of Inverness the town authorities took advantage of Mr. Hume's proximity to request his acceptance of the freedom of the burgh. The proposition was most favourably enter tained, and the ceremony took place on Saturday last, the 27th ult. The concourse of people was very considerable, and " the youngest burgess" would seem to have b een much gratified. He spoke for upwards of au hour and a kalf. The main subject of the speech was Mr. Hume's own career in Parliament, principally since the passing et the Reform Bill. Topics of interest in past times naturally mixed themselves with the narrative. The probable merits and demerits of the proposed new Reform Bill were canvassed at considerable length, and the discourse was concluded with the usual hope that the day was not far distant when Eng land could boast of triennial Parliaments, vote by ballot, reduced expenditure, and reduced taxation, &c. It is some what singular that the honour of being made a free burgess of Inverness should have fallen to the lot of Mr. Hume, since only two years ago, when the late Sir Robert Peel lived for about six weeks in the immediate neighbourhood, no further notice was toke n o f th e l amen t e d s t atesman than requesting him to lay the foundation-stone of a Jacobite memorial to the rebels who fell at the battle of Culloden. THE LONDON PRESS.—In a speech delivered at the dinner recently given at " the Cashel Banquet," the Very Rev. Dean Burke thus complimented sundry of the metropolitan journals, who must, of course, acutely feel the castigation of the refined divine :—" The Times, the Morning Post, the Morning Herald, the Morning Adrertiser, the Eremit) Sun, the Wri Illy E.eamincr, and a host of minor journals are so many sluices that unceasingly pour forth from the great and unfathomable reservoir of English bigotry and anti-Catholic hate, all their filth and Pretence against us ; but whilst their dirty discharges prove the depth and fetidness of the source from which they flow, they cannot reach or befu/ their intended objects, I mean the Catholic clergy." —(Grreat groaning for the English bigots.) And again:_" We are denounced by the base and venal English press, and represented to the English people as fie] y aLi a_ tors, as noisy incendiaries, as men whose very existence is incompatible with the peace of the country or even with the rights of prope r ty i n it."--(Groans for the lying London press.)

CHARING. CROSS HOSPITAL.—The session of the medical school of this hospital for 1851.2 commenced yes terday, when Mr. Edwin Canton delivered an introductory address to the pupils, pointing out in forcible language the advantages to be derived from the study of medicine and surgery, and attending to the lectu es of the various pro fessors; and, above all, to the clinical practice of the hos pital, in order to obtain efficiency in their profession. Tho address was very numerously attended, and was listened to with the most marked attention by the pupils present. Mr. Canton will today deliver a lecture on practical anatomy, which will be followed on this and two following days by introductory lectures from the other professors of the hos pital on anatomy and physiology, medicine, surgery, and chemistry.

(Tills DAY) An inquest on the bociles of Anthony Fawcett, and his two cnildren, Frederick, r.gcd 19 montiie, and Emily aged five and a half years, was held to day before Mr. Carter, the coroner Er East Surrey, at; t.l Windmill Tavern, Wyndham-roaci, Camberwell. On iaquiry at the sceLe of the dreadful ocearrenca it was ascertained tha:, the surviving child, Mary Ann Fawcett, was improving, though not yet entirely out of danger. Mrs. Fawcett suffers less from excitement and is more composed in tau. mind. The excitement in the neighbourhood had not abated this morning, and the outside of the tavern was thronged with persons. After the jury had been sworn, The CORONER said ha had been informed by Dr. King, that thot4,ll the widow and child were not in a fit state to be present at the inquiry to-day, they were both much better. He therefore prepesed to take the iden tity of the bodies, in order that they rniOrt be buried according to law; next the evidence of the parties who were tir:t called in, and then the evidence of Dr. King, who would show the CUlise of death in each case. The jury then proceeded tO - ;i:; - thei..;;di;;, which presented a frightful spcctaclo. Sophia Fawcett, single woman, aged 19, examined — She said I heard first of this affair on last Tuesday morning. I was living at 4, Queen.street, Oxford street. I am a dressmaker, and have been living there two years and a half. 0:1 the rnoreing in question I re ceived some information of the death of my father, and I came here. I knew my parents w;:re living here. I was at home on Saturday evening and came away on Monday morning. They came here on Saturday. The house is No. I, Queen's-place, Wyndham-road. I have not seen my father since his death. The CORONER—Is there any party present who has seen the bodies, and can identity them ? A person in the room here intimated that he thought ho could identify the deceased persons. The CORONER (to witness)—llo you think you could bear up and go and see the body of your father, and brother, and sister? Witness (crying)—l may, Sir. She was then conveyed Jut of the room by the Leadle to the house over the way, and came back greatly de pressed. Witness's examination continued—l have just seen my father, and sister, and brother. His business or occupation was that of a porter to Mr. Bridgemeo, confectioner. Ho was forty-two last January. My sister's Christian name is Emily. She is five years old. The youngest child's Christian names are Frede rick Anthony; he was twelve months old last January. Sarah Sadler was next examined; she said—l am a widow, and live at 7, Helstead-place, Camberwell. I was coming out of my own door on Tuesday morning, at eight o'clock, when I saw a female knocking at the door of No. 1, Queen's-place. No one answered, and she knocked a second time, and then looked through the key-hole and said, "My dear, open the doer." I did not sea any one inside at that time, nor did I hear any noise. I supposed she was addressing her child. In about four minutes the door was opened from the in side, and then the woman screamed out. I went close up to her, and saw a little girl coverea with blood standing close to her. The first word it said was "Oh, mother, go up-stairs." I left the mother and went up-stairs to the back bed•-room on the first•fleor, and there I saw a child lying on the bed covered with blood. It appeared to have a bit of bread and butter in its band—it was a female child. Two men followed me directly, and they went close up to it. The child was dead. The blood was gushing. from the throat. I left the room instantly and came down to the back parlour; there I saw a child lying on the ground. I went up, touched it, and found it was elect. It had some sugared bread and butter in its hand. It was dressed in night clothes, and had shoes nod stockings on. There was blood on the floor a❑d on its dress. The blood appeared to come from its throat. I next went into the washhouse, cad saw a police man and another person dragging a body of a man from under the sink into the yard. He was alive at the time, and gasping for breath. He had a carving knife in his hand. He had on dark trowsers, slippers, a shirt, but neither coat nor waistcoat. There was a great deal of blood upon the ground, and his hands were both covered with blood. I never saw any of the persons before the occurrence. The woman went to the side or private door. I found the shop door was fastened when I went inside. The back door, which leads to a small garden, was partly closed, the body of the man preventing its being entirely opened. There was nothing to indicate that any person had escaped from tho house after having inflicted these injuries on the bodies. (The inquest was proceeding when our report left.) THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the receipts at the doors yesterday amounted to 2,830/. 1 ls., the number of visitors being 59,050. It rained fast and furiously as the hour approached for the building to close, and great was the dismay and confusion, the demand for cabs, and the cramming of omnibuses, in consequence. The south entrance of the transept was completely blocked up with impatient and distressed waiters upon the skyey influences. The distress manifested by the female portion of the as semblage for the prospective destruction of their finery was particularly affecting, nor in the wildest flights of B!oomerism could anything be found more grotesque than the arrangements of dress which were made to neutralise as far as possible the effects of the weather. Gowns were inverted, and petticoats tucked up with the most unhesitating energy, while, by one of thosw extraordinary examples of the law of supply and demand, umbrellas of every size and quality sprang up in forest-like abundance. Of cabs and omnibuses there was, as there always is on such oc casions, a dreadful deficiency, so that a large propor tion of the people had to trudge, under the pelting rain, and ankle-deep in mud, on their way homewards THE SUN, SPORTING INTELLIGEN CE, 1i., - )VAIARIL;I2 FIRST OCTOBER .LIEETING.

We have received rid Marseilks nor letters and papers by the overland mail. A teiewaphic sum mery, aid Trieste, of the intelligence brought by this arrival appeared in our columns a day or two ago. The following is the letter of cur correspondent at Bombay, dated September 1 : " Gholab Singh has succeeded in putting down the insurgent hill tribes in the north of his uominior.e. He has communicated his success to the English au thorities, who have duly congratulated him on the occasion. The report of Dhost Mabomed's death appears to have been without foundation. That Prince still seems actively engaged in endeavours to enlarge his dominions. He has taken advantage of the death of Yar Mahomed Khan of Herat (which took place on the 4th of June) to send his son Ryder Khan with a large army to invade Herat by the Bulk-hill route. It is considered likely that the young Khan will ask for, and probably obtain, the aid of Persia in repelling the invasion, " The cadre course of the Indus and ita tributa ries has been visited by heavy rains and unprece dent,nl floods ; the latter have swept away same hun dreds of villages, and occasioned much destruction of life and property. In Sinde—generally a rainless climate--more rain has fallen in the last 20 days than is supposed to have fallen during the whole of the 20 years previous. In Kurrachee most of the barracks and officers' houses were either fallen down or unsafe, and the troops were living in tents. " Major-General Batine, a veteran of 47 years' standing, commanding the cis-Jhelum division, died at Lahore on the 21st of July. " The Commander-in-Chief's camp is to form at Buddee on the 3d of November, whence it will pro ceed by way of Rupur towards Peshawur. The Go vernor-General's camp is to be formed at Umballa on the 15th of October; his Lordship will then proceed leisurely by Kalka, Saharunpoor, Deyra Dhoon, Bareilly, Nainee Tal, and Almorah, and thence towards Calcutta. It is hoped that in passing he will find time to visit the King of Oude's dominions, which are in nearly as disturbed a state as those of the Nizem. The levelling to the ground of the innu merable mud forts dispersed throughout the country is most urgently to be desired. " The lion. Mr. D. Bethune, law commissioner at Calcutta, is dead. It is supposed that he will be suc ceeded by Sir Erskine Perry, Chief Justice of Bom bay, should the latter be disposed to accept of the appointment. " The Bengal Railway Company have advertised for tenders for the construction of the second section of their line, viz., from Pandova to Raneegunge, which will complete the experimental undertaking upon which the expenditure of a million sterling was sanctioned by the Court of Directors. An extended survey of the country beyond Burdwan is in con templation, with the view of settling the question as to the ultimate direction of the line. The site for the terminus at Howvah has been decided on. It be longed to Captain Oakes from whom the Company have purchased it for about 70,000 rupees, and is situated close to the Howvah Ghaut. In Bombay contracts have been let for the line from Boree- Bunder to a place called Persid Point, on the other side of the Tannawater. About 10 miles remain to be contracted for to complete the experimental line sanctioned by the East India Company. A survey of the proposed extension lines will be undertaken next cold season, unless Government withholds its sanction. "The Nizem's dominions are in their usual state of anarchy. A body of some hundreds of Rohillas have lately been committing depredations near Nun droag. A force under Brigadier Mayne has, however, been sent against them. The Arab mercenaries, alarmed at the Governor-General's recommendation for their extradition, are collecting from all quarters at Hyderabad, to watch the course of events, mean while they are on their good behaviour, and are con ducting themselves in an unusually orderly manner. Sooraj-001-Moolk's arrangements for putting off the rainy day by borrowing money at ruinous terms on assignments of revenue for the payment of the debt seem to have been attended with more success than any of the similar schemes of his predecessors. He has already lodged with the Resident bills for nearly half the amount of the debt, and promises to pay the ba lance by October. The diversion of so large a sum from the usual purposes of Government can only have the eff,2ct of still further crippling the Nizam's finances, and commensurately increasing every species of disorder to which their present disorganized state has given rise. "Ensign Scott, of the 48th Madras Native In fantry, has perished, together with about twenty coolies, by the wreck of the ship Randolph, from Ma dras with coolies for the Mauritius. " During the past month considerable excitement has prevailed throughout the Bombay Presidency regarding the contemplated dispatch of an expedi tionary force to the Red Sea, for the purpose of chas tising the Arabian tribes, who are openly protecting the murderers of Captain Milne and other British subjects. Orders had been received from the Court of Directors to demand and, if necessary, to enforce the surrender of the murderers, who had left the ter ritories of their sovereigns, the Sultans of Laledge and other chiefs of the Abdallee, and had taken re fuge with the more distant Jouthelee tribe, which had openly protected them. At first negotiations ap peared to hold out no chance of success, and the aspect of affairs seemed very warlike. Troops were warned for service, and the Governor and the Commander in -Chief, at the height of the Poona season, left the Deccan for Bombay, where they still remain ; but it bas now been decided in any case to do nothing till the season opens. " By the last advices from Aden the political agent was still engaged in pursuing his negotiations with the tribes in the interior, and his prospects of success were more promising than before. The great object in view is to persuade the chiefs of the Jouthelee to deliver up the murderer of Captain Milne, who has taken refuge with that tribe, and been openly and avowedly protected in their territory, to the chiefs of the Abdallee, his lawful sovereign, in order that jus tice may be done upon him according to his own laws. With this demand the Joutbelee has declared himself willing to comply, but the delivering up of a guest is so repugnant to Arab principles, that direct compli ance is hardly to be expected. More probably the chiefs will artfully place the assassin within the reach of the Abdallee, and if the latter fail to take advan• tage of the opportunity to seize the culprit, then the former will avow himself free from the responsibility, and the onus will be shifted to the other. --- " In this state of affairs, the Government cannot finally determine on its course. If the Jouthelee chief assumes an hostile attitude, an expeditionary force will be immediately organised and transported to Arabia as soon as the season will permit, but if the Jouthelce be exonerated from participation in the protection of the assassin, and we have only to deal with the Abdallee tribe which surround Aden, and their chief, the Sultan of Laledge, then reinforcements to the garrison only will be required, and our opera tions will be vastly simplified. " In the event of Captain Haynes' negotiations proving successful, justice will be done upon the mur derers of Captain Milne and of the European seamen, and the whole matter will be brought to a peaceful termination. " Errors to a considerable amount have been disco vered in the accounts of the Bengal Medical Fund with Government. Similar errors in the books of the Government Savings. bank at Bombay have occasioned the dismissal of nearly all its employes. Frauds to the extent of 70,0001. (nearly seven lacs of rupees) have been discovered in the opium agent's department at Bombay, and there are numerous similar abuses in other departments. Discoveries of this nature are becoming painfully frequent. _ The evil is in most cases due to the dishonesty of subordinates only. I am aware of no case in which the head of an office has ever been suspected of anything worse than a want of efficient supervision, and in many cases such absence of effectual supervision is rather the fault of the system than of the individual. The frequent changes of office incidental to a seniority system of promotion, in which a single vacancy may change the heads of half-a-dozen offices just when those who held them were becoming acquainted with their duties ; the complicated method in which the accounts of most departments have been hitherto kept, assisted in some measure perhaps by the relaxing effect of the climate on European constitutions, all conduce to place the great majority of Anglo-India officials in the hands of the native or uncovenanted assistant, who is a fixture at the head of their office establishment to an extent unprecedented in England and most de trimental to the interests of the public service. It is a common remark, which probably would not have been applicable to the Indian service forty years ago, that while the English gentlemen at the heads of offices are generally rather behind the world than otherwise, the native head clerks of their establish ment are usually buying land and houses and becom ing wealthy men. The same remark applies to the European as well as the native subordthates of the Commissariat and other similar departments."—Times. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CALCUTTA. (From the .Engli,shnian of August 19.) Since our issue of last mail our export market has exhibited but little change, business continuing to be carried on, without spirit, to a moderate extent, and with that reserve which the unsatisfactory complexion of mercantile home affairs, coupled with the increasing stocks of so®e leading staple i❑ our bazaar, fully jus tify; and although we cannot report any general decline in prices, we have to state that the readiness to meet offers on the most moderate previous value imparts to them a want of buoyancy verging on a downward ten dency. Tile import market has, during the last week, been in a very unsatisfactory state, owing to the occurrence of some failures among native dealars of repute. These unfortunate mi►haps have created a feeling of consider able rlirmarnong the Etuities, who increase the evil by rasbiag uljoat the 13..z.e.frti, a:d pressing the dc.tler severely Er immediate riaYment. 'Some of the princi• al importing bouses are oa the recerve with. rer,pec'.; to sales ana deliveries. It is to be hoped that the looso • ~,,,s tem of credit which has obtt;ined so universally L ii now be checkel and business placed upon a tile re safe and legitith4te footing. The consequence of the present state of efnirs has been almost a temporary 7,peimiou of business, and a serious falling cif in deliveri 5 3 as re spects sill clttcn goods, excepting prints ant 1 chintzes. The deliveries of metals have been ca the 11 MO. mode rate scale which has obtained of late, with, if anything, a very trifling improvement in copper. No s a l es of spelter are reported. For particulars we refer . to our de tailed report below. . The unfortunate occurrences referred to in the bazaar have had the effect of sending up exchanges / ) y ch ec ki ng collections and suspending the delivery of got ,de. It was expected that the large loss of bills by !be 1' aorta (about five lass) anti the rea, rve ve.4 by , expor cers of country produce would have improved rates; but these iLiiiieneest have been more theta counteracted by the disturbed state of the import market, anti rates have crept up to 24 to 21, with few buyers, and those few on the re.ierve. Freights have receded 5.0 to 7-6 per ton,closiog again stiffer. Our money market continues unaltered in bank rates, but the failures among the piece goods dealers have caused much uneasiness and scene pressure in the bazaar. Government securities have slightly declined, and in shares hardly any business bas teen transacted. ledigo, since last mail; has remained without any transaction, and the re ports from the manufacturing dis tricts continued as varied as ever—in some instances less satisfactory than before; a leading and not unimportant feature in that direction being the excessive heavy fall of rain reported from Agra, which has already done much injury to the young plant, thereby materially altering previous prospects of the out-turn in the Dosb, and leaving little room for the but lately entertained hope that its production would be considerably in excess of that of the previous season. Under these circum etaces we incline to the opinion that a more than rea sonably to be expected combination of future most fa vourable influences will be required to produce a total crop of 100,000 mds. BOMBAY MARKETS. FROM THE 26TH Or JULY TO THE 30TH Cr AUGUST INCLUSIVE. (From the Bombay Times.) The money market continues most plentifully sup plied—in fact cash has become quite a drug, and since we last wrote the banks have lowered their rates another 1 per cent. Government securities are somewhat lower, owing to speculators having been in the market as sellers. The following may be called current rates.—Transfer stock, 1151 nominal five per cent. Siccca paper, 107 i; four per cent. Sicca paper, 96; four per cent. Company's paper, 91 ; five per cent. Company's paper, 104 to 1041. Bank shares have been in some demand, and the rates of the day are bank of Bombay, 23 per cent. pre mium ; Oriental B a nk, 7 per cent. discount ; Commer cial Bank, 11 per c e nt. di scount ; Agra Bank, par. Since our last report th e L ondon mails of the 7th and 24th ult. reached Bombay respectively on the Ist and 23d inst ; and the following vessels from the west have reached us, viz :—from London, the Trafalgar and Ra jasthan ; from Liverpool, Dorcas, Rajah, China, Baron of Renfrew, Templar, Nith, and John Bull ; and from the Cly de, Ontario, and Allerton. In imports a large business has been done, supplies having arrived in quantity and been offered freely. On tae other hand transactions in exports have been limited; in cotton, however, our chief staple, more has been doing latterly, shippers to China having been induced to come forward in consequence of a fall in prices. Money is abundant, and may be had at alow rate on ap proved security. Cotton Piece Goods—The business done is these has been iarge and pretty general. A decline in price has been occasioned in almost all descriptions by the liberal way in which the goods have been of fered. Prices have for the last few days been most fluctuating, the large arrivals and anxiety to rea lize displayed on .:be part of importers having alarmed the dealers, there being no outlet for goods yet, and the bazaar quite gorged, so that at present the market is dull anu depressed in consequence of the dis inclination shown to continue purchasing. As the mon soon has been most favourable throughout the whole of Western India, large quantities of goods will doubtless be consumed, more especially at the low prices which are now current; we, therefore, have some encouragement to look forward to renewed demand, but the largo supply now in the market forbids us to expect any improvemon in price. Grey shirtings-40 and 45 inch of all qualities we quote something lower than in our last. The sales of all kinds reported are 35,550 pieces. Madapollams have likewise declined in price 1 to 2 annas per piece, and have been taken largely, but are now unasked for. Sales, 58,000 pieces. Jacconets have also been disposed of to the extent of 39,000 pieces, and have declined in price. T cloths, up to 61b., are in great quantity, and have fallen 2 annas a piece, but heavier qualities are quoted as in our last. Longcloths and domestics—The season not yet having opened, these goods have been very little asked for; fur the longc!oths there has been some little inquiry at a de cline of 2 annas per piece. Bleached Goods—Shirtings and madapollams are hardly asked for, nor are jacconets, except the medium qualities which are in request. Twill has not yet met with any demand. Satin spots are inquired after, as are also jacconet chocks. Sales quoted are 35,000 pieces of madapollams, 10,000 pieces of jacconets, 2,500 pieces of twills, and 8,600 pieces of satin spots. Fancy Goods—Some descriptions are inquired after, such as fine bld. mulls, low lappets, fancy border dhoties, and lappet scarfs; while Swiss lappets and bock muslins are not in request. Plain twill cloths and dyed turkey red are still dull without change in price; mulls, however, meet with some inquiry. Cotton Yarn—Prices have undergone little change. Both mule and water have met with large sales. The only decline we observe in mule is in 30s, 60s, and 80s, while 40s, 90s, and 100 have risen in price. Water ad. vanced a little in price, the stock having become light, but in consequence of recent importations it has again declined. 30s and 40s have likewise fallen in price in consequence of recent arrivals. Dyed orange continues without improvement, but meets with a fair demand. Turkey red of good quality meets with more inquiry, and is looking up, but low is still dull of sale. Metals —The business which has been transacted in these has been large in nearly all descriptions, with a general rise in p rices, with the exception of iron hoops, faggot st ee l, an d S outh American copper, which continue at the quot a ti ons entered in our last. Woollens—We h ave nothing to report in these, as the season for the se goods has not yet opened. We hear of a few sal es o f fl annel, but the article is very dull. y p Cochineal —The mar k et for this article is still much, depressed. O ur quotations are one anna lower than be fore. W e h ave h eard of no sales. Beer --A very l i mited inquir revails ' and sales of Allsopp's an d B ass ' s are in small quantities only at our last quotations. O f the inferior brands about 250 hhds. appear to h ave sold at 30r. per hhd. Spirits—The demand for brandy in wood still con tinues, but gin and other spirits both in wood and bottle are very dull. Marine Stores—Canvas, both bleached and unbleached, has met with a greater demand than has existed for some .months past, and has slightly risen in price. Paint and linseed oil moderately asked for. Cordage in request. Sewing twine dull. Spirits of turpentine very Sundries —The only sales which we have to report are : Cotton Wool —The market has been very dull through out the month until within the last few days, with a ten dency to depression in value, but no evident decline in prices had taken place until the arrival of the overland mail of the 24th of July. Prices, however, immediately receded, an the accounts received by that opportunity becoming known ; they have now fallen from 6 rs. to 12 rs. per candy, according to quality. This fall i n p r i ces induced a number of native purchasers to come forward for the China market, whither a considerable quantity is now being sent in addition on importers' account. There appears to be nothing whatever doing for England—the purchases reported are all for China. Fresh supplies from the north are now coming in several boats have arrived hero to-day. A further fall in prices may pretty cer tainly be expected when the season fairly opens. Opium—Up to the arrival of the last mail from China the excitement mentioned in our last report continued to exist, and 1,225 r. at 1,25 Ur. for the best, and 1,200 r. was given, and at these high prices the Sir Herbert Compton for Woosung, and the Ptkin fur Hong-Kong, took about 1,650 chests. But upon the advices by last China mail reaching us, which brought unsatisfactory account of the market in Wocsung, consequent upon the failure of several native bankers interest e d i n d rug pay ments, eat prices fell, and h ave cont i nued to de cline, in e, h of to-day b• mg nominally 1,135 r. a e n per chest. Tonnage—Early in the month rates to G rea t B r i ta i n receded slightly from t h e nominal rat es w hi c h were quoted in our last, in consequence of the g rea t scarc i ty ofely en freight, and some trifling g g rue ts were made f o r Liverpool at 30s. to 355, per t on . V ery little cargo is quo i t m m io e n d s ia t offering at present, and the nominal rate for both Liver pool and London is about 40 s. per t on . F or seed to London, 21. se. has been paid. The rate to China has been very unsteady, having been so low as 11r., but 13r. per candy is now the rate of the d ay , Exchange—For the mail via Madras on the sth inst. the rate on London closed dad 2s. 01-1. six mont h s ' s i g h' . It opened for this at 2s. e 0:1-d. at 5-16ths, b u t h as s i nce receded to ls. 11-13-16th d. at 1- first c l ass Chi na cre dit bills six months sight: the transactions for the mail are included within these limits. On China we quote 220 r. per 100 dollars, 60 days' sight—the tendency still upwards. On Calcutta our quotations are loq, 60 days' sight. BEHNES' STATUE OF THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL. —The model for the colossal statue of the late illustrious statesman, intended to adorn, the town of Leeds, is now com pleted, and is calculated fully to sustain the high reputation of the artist as one of the first sculptors of the age. The position selected is that familiar to the publi!, when Sir Robert is supposed to be addressin g the House of Commons, and ex hibit s a dignified simplicity combined with an easy grace and elegance, for which the original was peculiarly distinguished. As a work of art, it perhaps surpasses any previous production from the studio of the same sculptor. Nothwithstanding its large dimensions, it is in every respect life-like and true to nature. But the artist has had to labour under one disadvantage, and that is by the necessity of an adherence to mcdern costume, which renders stiffness to some extent unavoidable. The model is to be cast in bronze, and when elevated on a suitable pedestal will have a fine and imposing effect. Mr. Behnes is also to be en trusted with the important task of executing the statue of Sir Uobert intended to be erected in the City. N .ING, OCTOBER 2, 1851. NAVAL INTELLIGEN C.E. MALTA, SEPT. 26.—The .Merlin steam, packet, Lieutenant -Commander Turner, with the Born h,ly snails, arrived from Alexandria at eleven A.as. this day. The mails have been transferred to her MajeEtv's steamer Caradoc, leaving at three p.m.,•for conveyance to Marseilles. The Oberon steam-packet, arrived from the squa dron on the 22d inst. She left Palma on the 18th; and it was then intended by Admiral Sir W. Parker, Bart., for the ships to proceed to Barcelona, where the Trafalgar, 120, Captain Greville, was waiting, and after to Roses. The ships have been trying their sailing qualities, and the result of the first trial was that, steering west, Ganges beat _Albion, from eight to heif-past eleven o'clock, 1,920 yards; Superb, 1,430 yar d s; an d In defatigable, 590 yards. The Queen did not try her rate of sailing. Second Trial—On a wind, from two to five P.M, Ganges beat Albion 1,203 yards; Superb, 1,374 yards; and Indefatigable, 1,213 yards. Major Johns, R.M., of Ganges, has invalided, and leaves for England by Caradoc. It is reported that her Majesty's ship Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord E. Russell, and Encounter, 14, screw-corvette, Captain Gordon, have been ordered direct to Alexandria, in advance. Phaeton, 50, Captain G. Elliot, left Malta, for the squadron on the 24th, taking Commander Fellows to replace Commander Boyd, of the Superb, superseded at his own request. Our prospects respecting the orange crop this season are very gloomy, and it is feared that through out the country there will not be one-tenth of the crop of last season. The talked of abolition of quarantine upon arrivals from ports in the Levant, when furnished with clean bills of health, will greatly benefit the island. The steam paper -mills of Messrs. Tonna were set work on the 24th inst., having first received the be nediction of the Catholic bishop. The Hon. H. Lushington, chief secretary to Go vernment, was amongst the passengers, per Helle spont, to Italy on the 22d inst. His absence will not extend over three weeks, and is absolutely necessary for the recovery of his health. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Tagus arrived from the Levant on the 21st inst., and left eight hours after for England, the Jupiter last evening, and leaves to-day. The Government steam-ship Medusa, from the lonian Islands, arrived at Malta on the 22d inst. The new Navy List, by authority, published yester day, brings Captain Furneax (1829) within the se nior list of captains, and Sir Baldwin W. Walker, K.C.8., within the second senior list.

Briggs, G.C.M.G, hoisted his flag (blue at the main) on board the Victory at nine o'clock this morning, when it was saluted by the Britannia, 120, bearing the flag of R ear -Ad m i ra l S uper intendent Prescott, C. 8., second in command, with 17 guns, which the Victory returned with 11. Sir Thomas's flag was also saluted by the Lieutenant-Governor from the Platform Battery, with 17, which was acknowledged by a similar number. The ships and vessels on the station at the same time changed their pennants and ensigns from red (the squadron to which the late Commander-in-Chief belonged) to blue, and Sir Thomas Briggs's command-in-chief here commenced therefrom. The Sutlej Indiaman arrived at Spithead to-day from the Thames. Woomvicn, QcT. I.—The Anna Maria female con vict ship, in charge of Surgeon-Superintendent Mg Crea, at present lying off the Royal Arsenal, has taken on board about 200 female convicts, several of whom have their children with them, for conveyance to Hobart Town. The majority of the convicts are of Irish extraction, and mostly from Liverpool. There are two, however, on board, each under sentence of fourteen years' transportation, in conse quence of articles being found in their posses sion which they had received from the male associates of the Uckfield gang. A boy, the offspring of one of these women, was put on board yesterday to accom pany his mother to Hobart Town. The child was born in gaol, and is now upwards of two years of age, and has been w e ll t a k en care o f i n one of the workhouses in East Kent since April last. The Lady Franklin and Sophia, recently paid off at this port by Captain Penny, on his return from the Arctic Regions, are ordered to be taken to Chat ham, where they will he laid up for the winter.

TO TILE EDEFOR OF SUN: Sin,—The necessary arrangc.:nuns aro nearly com • plete for the forip3tion and efficient working of an extensive and influential association, haying for its object the immediate incorporation, under distinct charters of acts, as may be necessary, as well of the different metropolitan boroughs already returning Members to Parliament, as also of the populous and wealthy district, comprising Kensington, Chelsea, &c., at present so inadequately represented. The founders of this association venture to hope that your powerful assistance, and that of the press generally, will be rendered towards the carrying out of this most important measure ; without which it is impossible to obtain any definite or available expres sion of the public opinion of the metropolis upon any given subject, municipal, local, or political, or to create any united public action based upon that opinion. The creation of these municipal corporations will, moreover, furnish a simple and complete solution of the vexata quiestio of Government interference in matters of purely municipal interest, such us the water supply, sewerage, &c., the control of which, by the ratepayers of the metropolis, is rendered difficult, if not impossible, under the defective and anomalous organization of the existing multitudinous parochial vestries and boards. You will also, I think, Sir, agree with me that it will be no slight recommenda tion of the proposed measure that it will obviate the future possibility of the existing City corp ora ti on being again mist a k en f or the representatives of the metropolis of this vas t emp i re. It is intended to hold a preliminary meeting next week of such parties as may be willing or desirous to aid this movement, as well for the purpose of collect ing necessary statistical and other information, relat ing to the several districts proposed to be incorporated, a the nuclei o f th e general and dis trict also o tcomf ga moritteneizing s.Such gentlemen as may intimate to me by letter their desire to attend will receive no tice of the time and the place of the meeting. I am, Sir, &c., N. EDWARDS, Hon. Sec. 6, Francis-place, Westminster, October Ist, 1851. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In The Sun of Friday, the 26th inst., there is a paragraph intimating that Mr. Sharman Craw ford, M.P., and other Protestant gentlemen, acted as collectors at the Romish chapel of Bangor, near Bel fast. on the occasion of that edifice being consecrated by Dr. Denoir a few days since. Would you kindly inform your many readers what it is that these gen tlemen protest against ?—I am, Sir, &c., J. C. C. Plymouth, Sept. 30, 1851. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

THE NEW CHANCERY APPOINTMENTS.— Yesterday or, according to the words of the Act, " from and after the Ist of October," the powers of the Lord Chancellor vested in the Court of Appeal. Although her Majesty was em powered to appoint two persons on the passing of the Act to the office of " Lords Justices," no appointment has been officially announced. It is, however, reported that Lord Crauworth and Sir James Knight Bruce (with a title) have been appointed. They have, however, not been sworn in, and the delay, it is believed, has occurred in consequence of the Vice-Chancellorship. It is understood that neither the Solicitor-General nor Mr. Bethel( will accept the Vice- Chancellorship, and the appointment, it is expected, will either be given to Mr. Swanston, a very able equity lawyer, or to one of the Masters in Chancery. If to the latter, then another vacancy of 2,5001. a - year will occur. By the Act the Lords Justices must be sworn in before the Lord Chan cellor or the Master of the Rolls. ALLEGED MURDER.-0a Tuesday night Mr. Payne held an inquest on the body of Ann Sarah Parker, whose husband was on Monday charged at the Worship -street Police-court with causing her death by violence. The evi dence of the surgeon was heard in addition to that of some other witnesses, after which the jury returned as their ver dict that " Death was caused by effusion of blood on the brain, but whether such effusion was produced by her hus band's assault there is no evidence to show." A melancholy accident occurred at St. Just West, Penzance, on Sunday last. A party had been out shooting, and had returned, when, as one of them, named Thomas Wembath, who was trying to draw the charge from his gun, by some means the gun went off, and the whole charge en tered his mouth, and blew his head to atoms. He was soon placed on a plank and carried to his home, about a mile distant, where he had in the morning left a wife and three children. Kiss's " AmAzori."—Mr. Digby Wyatt, in writing on this work of genius, says that in it " the boldest concep tion and treatment of a grand idea are tempered by an ex quisite appreciation of beauty and refinement of execution," and that it is probably the noblest work of art now existing in which man has displayed the mastery biz intelligence has enabled him to gain over the " stubborn metals." [ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Ointment and Pills the most extraordinary Remedy known for curing Skin Diseases.—Mr. A. G.

TIMES.—The love of order and the obedience to lawful authority for which the people of England have been so race:ntl . complimented by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs never shone out with greater lustre than during the singular, and, we are happy to SP7, unprecedented scenes which have been passing at Liverpool during the last few days. We can imagine nothing more irritating, more ellen. lated to rouse and in some degree to extenuate re- , sistaece to lawful authority, than the course of con duct which, for causes hitherto unexplained, though only too e'eily surmised, has been adopted by the Judge of the Lancashire County Court. Placed there contrary to the wishes of the great majority of those among whom he was to administer justice, from hie connexion as the son of a land agent of an aristocra tic family, the new judge had, doubtless, much ori ginal prejudice to surmount. It was felt, and with considerable justice, that so important a situation in the second city of the empire ought to be the reward of distinguished merit, and not of mere eersonal claims. Reasonable as thi s feel ing was, it is probable that a little tact and good sense on the part of the judge would ie a abort time have succeeded in removing it; but so far from this being attempted, a course of conduct was pursued which compl e t e ly o bl i terated the re membrance of the original app o i n t men t in discontent at the manner in which the business of the court was conducted and the sort of treatment to which liti gants and witnesses were constantly subjected. Then followed an investigation, in which Mr. Ranashay was acquitted of charges of which the p u bli c opinion of the town considered him guilty, and readmitted to the exercise of his office. As if this were not enough to irri tate the public mind, he performs a sort of ovation over his defeated antagonists, and while loading them with the most unmeasured abuse announced his intention of opening a regular campaign against the press. It is with these preliminary causes of irritation fresh on their minds that the public are called upon to witness the carrying into execution of threats uttered a week beforehand. The style of the examination which the judge addressed to his own witness has probably not, been paralleled since the memorable interrogation of Donne by Chief Justice Jefferies at the trial of Lady Alice Lisle. Judge—" Was his hand doubled ?" Witness— ",ludge—" Then, t you ass, don't you know that w as a fist ? hat is what it is called legally ; you ought to k now th a t." N ex t t o t h e stu pidity of the witness, nothing seems to have annoyed Mr. Ramshay so much as the name of the indoor superintendent of the police, Mr. Clough, which ep pears to have had somewhat of the same effect en the Judicial mind as the exhibition of a piece of red cloth to a bull. "I do not care who he is, or how big or how low his name may be ; but as sure as he is a offence imput e d to living ma n I w ill bring him before me. " The whole bailiffs be t c h oi a i t sid th er e remark to to can the hardly.l)4 . r. Cl oug h, i n a ddi t i on to h i s name — wa w s h h i i c s h arrest Mr. Whitty without a warrant—an extremely and sound opinion in point o f l aw, y ed a c s o a ul f d aui n t— ot scarcely, we,sp prebend, amounting to a contempt of court. But the astonishment and indignation of the audienoe reached its climax when the judge, grinding his teeth with rage, stated that Mr. Vhitty had been guilty of a crime against the Act of Parliament; that he looked like a man in whose eyes and in whose face the worst passions of our nature were delineated ;" and after having imposed fines under every illegal pretence conceivable, wound up with a declaration that, whether he should impose any more, or not, at that moment he could not say. Two of the bystanders were also fined five pounds each for giving vent to their feelings by applauding the sentiments of the advocate of the prisoner—a li cense which, though always repressed by Courts, has never, that we are aware of, before been visited wide a fine. We have mentioned these things not with a view of making out a strong case against Mr. Rsm shay, an effort perfectly superfluous, especially as we do not, notwithstanding the threawhich preceded by some days these outrageous p'roccedings, believe the judge to be in a state of mind which would jus tify us in treating him as responsible for his actions, but in order to show the amount of pro vocation which will be patiently submitted to in England rather than do violence to that strong national instinct which impels us to submit to lawful authority even when most scandalously and notoriously abused. Mr. 'Whitty was sent off by the railway, to undergo a term of imprisonment for feat or five offences, of all of which everybody knew he was perfectly innocent, in the presence of a crowd indignant at the insults he had sustained and the barefaced and cruel injustice of which he was for the time the victim. Yet, inasmuch as these things were done in the name of the law and sanctioned by the warrant of a judge, the loge multitude present at the departure of the prisoner contented themselves with expressions of sympathy, and made no effort whatever to interfere with the execution of the sentence. The reason of this extraordinary forbearance is, no doubt, to be found in the cause to which Lord Palmerston attributes it. The people of Liverpool know well that whatever excesses may be committed for a moment, there is no fear that their perpetrator will find any sympathy from any officer of the Go vernment. They feel the utmost confidence that so soon as this extraordinary outbreak shall be known not a moment will be lost in setting the prisoner at liberty, and removing from his office the judge who has thus abused the power with which he is invested. Were it not for this entire confidence of instant jus tice and redress, it would hardly have been in human nature to have stood by and witnessed the perpe tration of so monstrous a violation of individual liberty. Bat the people have no occasion to do that irregularity by their own hands which they know that their Go vernment is ready and willing to do for them. ' It is with some disappointment that we find that a single day has beenApwed to elapse without taking measures to put nd to a state of things at once so dangerous and so discredit able. The Earl of Carlisle is, we observe, in at tendance on her Majesty at Balmoral, and as for the rest of the Cabinet they are we know not where. The extremely agreeable and exhilarating plan adopted by the present Governmek of leaving the affairs of this great country to take care of themselves dulling the reoess of Parliament is not without its inconveni ences and dangers. A flagrant outrage on private liberty is committed, and the Minister to whom the protection of that liberty is intrusted is not at his post. A judge runs riot, and the only person who has the power of stopping him is not to be got at. No doubt it is highly complimentary to the spirit of order of the English a part of the year their affairs should be left to ad minister themselves ; but there are cases—and the present is one of them—to which this conve nient mode of governing does not apply. The practice is, however, so pleasant that it is sure to be persevered in till its folly and rashness are satisfactorily illustrated by some heavy 'disaster. We do not regard the occurrences to which we have been calling attention as reflecting any de gree of discredit on the administration of jus 'es in the Cou n ty C ourts, or as evincing any seri e 1 defect in th e l aw. After legislative wisdom as 1; done all it can, much must still be left tb the work ing of individual discretion apa - of that most deli cate and easily disorganised instrument, the human mind. Did the County Courts Act, indeed, confer the powers claimed by Mr. Ramlthay on the judges, there would be great reason to complain of the negligence with which the Legislature had guarded our liberties ; but as these powers are mere as sumptions and mere imaginations, we can blame no one for their exercise except the judge himself. It is quite necessary that the judge should be pro tected in the execution of his office, and it is not the fault of the Legislature if a gentleman should be found with a mind so unhappily constituted as to convert this necessary power into a general claim to fine and imprison his fellow citizens at his will and pleasure.
