THE SUN, G aZ I fi. .~ __ w t ( 7 v ~..~ j COLB(]JUV'S (JPV]TED Spencer's Travels in European Turkey is noticed in an excellent article, headed " Turkey, its Defence's and its Enemies." After stating that of the five dis tinct nationalities of which the inhabitants of Turkey in Europe are composed, viz., Slavonians, Albanians, Greeks, Asiatic Turks, and Roumani, forming a popu lation of about fifteen millions, the Osmanli or pure Turks, of the L rece, of Othman number, but from 700,000 to 600,000, the writer offers the following interesting remark : " The gradual but certain diminution in the race of Othwan is a singular fact, attested by every traveller who has visited the Turkish empire, and it is presumed, by statistical writers, that if these people continue to ad= here to the laws of the Koran, polygamy, and the other causes which have contributed to produce these results, they will become extinct at no very distant period. It must therefore be evident to the impartial reader, however desirous he may bo for the preservation of tho Turkish empire, that it is nearly impossible for a nationality so weak in numerical: force, so indo lent, and incapable as that of the Asiatic Turk in the present day, to continue its rule in these provinces for any lengthened period, however countenanced and supported by the western powers." The Spanish and French accounts of the battle of Trafalgar are handled roughly in this number by Lieutenant Marsh of the Royal Marines. In the " Cruise of the Flame," a clever suggestion is made of arming the small coast and river steamers, in case of emergency, with Congreve rockets, the efficacy of which would appear to be tremendous. The abomi nable dress and equipments, as at present existing, of the British infantry soldier are again properly on the lapis. The shako, alias " Father of a Pot;" the stiff dog-collar machine of a stock ; the coarse, scanty, brick-dust coloured coatce, patched over with whi:e tape, like scarlet fever combined with leprosy; the unsightly " lavenders ;" the superabundance of heavy, pipe-clayed belts; the awkward disposition of the ill-secured pouch —may they speedily give place to improved convenience and comeliness. The "Life of Jean Lafitte," " Mr. Singsby's Yacht," " Adventures of an English Soldier in Mexico," and " War in Africa," are continued, together with "British Con quests in India," and the usual monthly amount of military information is appended. From the " Editor's Portfolio" we extract the following just remarks : " THE DESERTER AND THE - BRAND. " The universal indignation aroused by the late order for regimental surgeons to undertake the odious duty of branding the deserter, has compelled the authorities, much against their own inclination, to suspend its exe cution. It was absurd to suppose that it could ever be carried out; for though we believe there is no gentle man holding her Majesty's commission, in any depart ment of the service, so rash, or so criminal, as to refuse obedience to a mandate of his superiors, and thus set an example of insubordination to the inferior grades, we have no doubt that the moral resistance evoked would have had its effect, and have driven the executive to that step now yielded to the unanimous demand of the press. As it is, does it not seem time to consider whether a practice so repugnant to the common feelings of hu manity, so revolting in its character and object, should not be altogether abolished. We are little inclined to that faha sentiment which expends all its sympathies on the guilty and the wicked; and the man who deserts his colours, the soldier who forsakes his post, betraying the sacred duty he owes to his Sovereign and his cry, more especially excites our abhorrence. But to in flict this brand is to dishonour the service—to treat a human being, and one who should be taught to take an honourabie pride in his profession, as we should scorn to treat a dog. The soldier is to be raised, elevated—not degraded; and though punishments •arp unfortunately indispensable, they should be niade such as would ex cite shame, without overwhelming with infamy. Let us hope that a time is coming when the soldier will be more justly considered; and when it will not be thought necessary, as an incentive to discipline, to visit even his worst dereliction with a penalty at once harrowing and degrading." 7 , , DUBLIN UNIVERSITY. An interesting and valuable paper on the Salmon and Sea Fisheries of Ireland takes the lead among the contributions of the present month. "Maurice Tiernay" displays prodigies of valour in the march on Vienna, and is left grievously wounded, but pre sented in hospital with a cross of the Legion of Honour by the hands of Napoleon himself. " His toric Notes on the Irish Census" is a valuable statis- tical paper to which, as well as the fore. mentioned one, want of space precludes us from doing more justice than to call public attention to such well arranged matter. A memoir, illustrated with a por trait, is given of MacDowell, the celebrated sculptor, whose " Virginius" and " Eve" are so familiar to the visitors of the Crystal Palace. Of the latter, a con ception of consummate grace and beauty, we regret to say that, notwithstanding the unqualified admira tion it has attracted, not merely from the public, but from the first judges of the art, the sculptor has never yet received a commission to execute it in marble. In " The Great Exhibition of Novels for 1851," Mrs. Maberly's "The Lady and the Priest," " Everard Tunstall," " The Daughter of Night," " Madame Dorrington of the Dene," " Castle Deloraine," and " The Tutor's Ward," are noticed in masterly style. The other articles are "A Legend of the East Xeuk of Fife" (a capital tale of the duello), "London dur ing the Summer of 1851," evidently from the pen of Mr. Calcraft, " Glasgow in 18.51," a dramatic sketch by R. B. Felters entitled "A Good Spec," and " Lines on a Sleeping Girl," suggested by a statue of MacDowell's, by Alaric Watts. FRASER. The opening paper of the November number of this favourite magazine gives promise of considerable interest and amusement to be derived from the future pages of " The Autobiography of Captain Digby Grand '• or the Dangerous Classes." Of " The His tory of the Hungarian War," the first instalment whereof is given, we cannot by any means speak so favourably. The writer seems about as good a judge of the character of Louis Kossuth as are the scribes of Printing-house•square. "The French Critic in London" is a translation of a series of unpublished letters by the correspondent of a Parisian newspaper; " Venus Akestria" is a sprightly clever little poem ; "Poets and Players" a capital dramatic article, full of shrewd and sound sense. " The Revelations of a Commonplace Man" are concluded. The articles on "Edmund Burke" and "Kayo's War in Affghanis tan" are well worthy of perusal. The political effusion entitled " What has the British Taxpayer to do with Colonial Wars and Contributions ?" is rather heavy ; but the number is, on the whole, calculated to bring no discredit on the established reputation of Regina. GENTLEMAN S. Sylvanus Urban is, as usual, full of aniique lore. He gives a historical notice on the attempt to rectify the calendar in 1584 5 ; likewise of the Yorkshire rebellion in 1489 ; and anecdotes of Hartwell House, in Buckinghamshire, the residence of Louis XVIII. when in this country, illustrated by four plates. The remainder of the number is filled with matter of much interest to antiquarians. THE DALTONS. The nineteenth number appears;iih foggy Novem ber. It gives an account of old Dalton's funeral and Nelly's Tyrol journey, accompanied by Ihnserl and Andy. The scene then shifts to Fl orence —t o o th e r and very different associates. MANSION-HOUSE.—The farewell ball of the present mayoralty took place last evening, when upwards of 600 ladies and gentlemen assembled to do honour to the closing festivities of the civic year. The Lady May - oress received the guests in the drawing-room with her accustomed kindness and cordiality. Dancing commenced at ten o'clock to the music of a splendid orchestra, and was kept up with unflag ging spirit until midnight, when a superb supper was served in the state dining-room. The gaieties were subsequently re sumed, and it was early morning when the curtain fell on the last of the brilliant entertainments distinguishing the event ful year of office of Sir John Musgrove. On Monday, the 3d inst., a General Assembly of the Academicians was held at the Royal Academy of Arts in Trafalgar-square, when Mr. William Boxall, Mr. Edward William Cooke, Mr. Frank Stone, and Mr. Henry w eki k es were duly elected associates Qf that institution. KOSSUTIL—Last evening another meeting of gen tlemen from the various metropolitan boroughs was held at Mr. Saunders's, Charing-cross, for the purpose of receiving the report of the deputation appointed to wait upon Kossuth, to learn his pleasure as to the time and place of receiving the addresses from the metropolitan boroughs. Mr. Geesen, of St. James's, having been celled to the chair, Mr. Lewis stated that the deputation, headed by Lord Dudley Stuart, had that day waited upon Kossuth at his residence in Ea ton-place, and upon the intention of the committee having been explained to him, he at once coincided in their views, and consented to receive the addresses from the metropolitan boroughs, which are to be presented on Thursday week, at the Hanover-square Rooms, which will be the last occasion the illustrious Hungarian will address the English people. It was intimated to the illustrious exile that Ps he had seen the demonstration of the working men they were most de sirous that he should also witness a middle class demonstra tion, composed of residents in the metropolitan boroughs, which, in fact, comprise nineteen-twentieths of the popu lation of the metropolis, the City forming only one-twen tieth. THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT KILLINGWORTH.- On Saturday morning another of the unfortunate wutlerers by the explosion which took place at West Moor Colliery, Killingworth, on the previous day, died from the effects of the injuries he had received; it was a boy of the name of Cordon. The funerals of seven of the men took place on Sunday, and the boy Mason was buried on Monday. Mr. Reed opened the inquest on Saturday morning, and adjourned it until the following Friday. On Monday afternoon an inquest was held in the School-room, Killingworth, before the Coroner, Mr. Stephen Reed, upon the body of William Mies received from an explosion at the 23d u lt. M r. M at thi r s were in attendance. Af ter severa l w it nesses a D Sti iss , o tnch'oe'lsiG'illeoor(elri°en'dlinent inspector of mi nes , en d M r. N .

A good deal of evidence was prodmced, and the result was that ISlagw, Hurd, and Sparrow were fully commit d fur tliol, and *argeant iyas dicharged. LONDON, C; - UR CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 4.

Her Majesty the Queen, the Sovereign of the Order, Wore the mantle and collar, ared also the garter as an armlet. Field-Marshal his Royal Highness the Prince Albert wore the mantle and collar of the Order. Her Majesty and Prince Albert were conducted by the Officers of the Royal Household through the north corridor to the Throne-room, where the Chapter was held. The Knights Comoanions of the Garter, - attended by the Officers of the Order (who wore the respective mantles, and carried their ensigns of office) passed in procession through the Reception-room to the presence of the Sovereign in the Throne-room, The Sovereign and Knights Companions being seated, the Chancellor signified to the chapter her Majesty's royal will and pleasure that the vacant: stall in the Royal Chapel of St. George at Windsor should bo filled, The Right Hon. Charles William Earl Fitzwilliam was introduced between Garter King-of-Arms end Black Rod, and kneeling near her Majesty, had the honour of knighthood conferred on him by the Queen with the sword of state. His Lordship kissed hands, and then retired. The Knights Companions proceeded to the election, and the Chancellor, having collected the suffrages, pre sented them to the Sovereign, and, by her command, the Chancellor declared that the Right Hon. Charles Wil liam Earl Fitzwilliam had been duly elected a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. By the Queen's command the Noble Earl was received at the door of the .Chapter-room by the two Junior Knights Companions present ; the Duke of Norfolk 'supporting him on the right, and the Duke of Bedford on the left. Garter King-of-Arms (bearing the ensigns of the order on a crimson velvet cushion) and Black Rod preceded his Lordship to the Sovereign.

Sing on! glad spirit of the dying storm, Thou comest like dear Hope to hearts in woe, Like daring zephyrs when March days grow warm, Or flowers that venture through the ling'ring snow. Sing on, sing on! for I could listen now Till downy slumber stay thy gushing song— Till thou art mute upon the midnight bough, Aid o'er you sky the golden wonders throng. The smell of mould—of balm—of briony— Of roses scattered by the ruthless rain— Of drenched acacias and the fragrant pea— Comes floating to me with thy genial strain. And I can see the liquid lustre run Down the curl'd edges of each saddened leaf— A thousand diamonds gathered into one, Like those large tears that swell the eye of grief. Fast in the gloom the tempest's radiant zone, The blazing rainbow, drops in showers away, As if some spirit down its arch had flown, And fann'd the pageant into swift decay. Still howls:the wind through many a leaden rift, And still the thunder mutters in its fl!ght. Still the pale lily fears her face to lift— Still frighted cattle shun eve's angry light. Best thou, bold songster, nought can baffle thee ! Nought can thy wild full-hearted joy restrain, Brave art thou, bird, as martyr-saint might be — Brave—and how joyous in that lonely strain I Oh 1 could I now to thy sweet teaching bend— Take the wise lesson to my heart, fur aye— To every woe 'twould some kind solace lend, And gild with sunshine fate's most cloudy day. Could I with thee, amid the Blooms of life, With gentle voice all meekly tuned to love, Regardless; whether 'tis through calm or strife, Chant hymns of probe to holy ears above! Could I but learn the bright serenity That bids thee warble through the discord round — Could I but tasto the peace that dwells with thee— 'Twould lend existence raptures yet unfound! Sing on, sing on! for now the storm is dead! I know it by yon gush of saffron light, That, like a glory, down the hills is spread— By yon blue isle that laughs out into sight. I know it by this timid moth that Ries Athwart the lattice with unbruisti wing— By colours kindling in the western Odes— By honied murmurs where the woodbines cling. By all the voices of the summer eve, The vesper warblings in each neighbouring lane— Such dainty music as I do believe Might wake Eurydice to life again. Sing on, sing on! for now thy cadence high, Like inspiration in some poet-mind, [lath tuned to sweetness Nature's merest sigh, Nor left one discord lurking faint behind. 'Tis harmony's true throne, this blushful eve, Draped with warm skies, and cushioned soft on flowers, Whose fresh, b r i g ht li ps w i t h d ew y murmurs weave A slumbrous ch an ti ng th roug h t h e t w ili g ht h ours . Sing on, sing on! thou dauntless soul of love! Already dawns the guerdon of thy faith— Peace, bliss, and beauty—while the mystic dove Uer latest lullaby around thee saith. Sing on! yet, no; for now that night-bird wakes, And thy proud notes, like oozings of rich wine, Drop feebly forth ; a drowsy bliss o'ertakes Thee in thy mirth, and I am left to pine! So will I c10,,e the lattice, for I would No voice but thine about my dreams should thrill. Methinks these hours with thee and solitude Have left me strengthened fur each coming iIL THE GREAT EXHIBITION.—Tbe Commissioner for the Grand Duchy of Hesse and Frankfort took his leave of the Commission yesterday. A meeting of the Royal Commissioners is to be held to-morrow, when the various propositions and suggestions es to the disposal of the large surplus to their credit will no doubt be further considered. It is not at all improbable that at to-morrow's meeting the Commissioners may give their sanction to one of these pro positions; in which cate it will doubtlessly be made known forthwith. Whatever the scheme may be, which the Commis • sioners will thus stamp with their provisional approbation, it is likely that the public, who have contributed the funds, will be allowed to exercise a potential voice before any defi nitive resolution be come to. THE MURDER AND SUICIDE IN Sono.—An in quest was held yesterday on the bodiesi of Mary Ann Blake man, and her son James, an infant. The particulars con cerning the double death of mother and child appeared in our paper of Tuesday. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the child was murdered by the mother, and that Arary Arn Blakeman committed auicide while in a atato of temporary insanity. WEDNESDAY SE ALBAN'S BRIBERY COMMISSION. ST. ALBAN'S, TUESDAY EVENING.—The Commis sioners resumed the inquiry this morning at half-past ten o'clock. The court was excessively crowded, and much interest was manifested from the fact of its being spread abroad that Mr. James Coppock, tLe well-known elec tioneering agent, was to be examined. Hayward Edwards, son of Henry Edwards, deposed that he acted as doorkeeper at the house in Sovereign alley, and was employed for that purpose by his father, to let voters in and out when they came in the dusk of the evening. Had been to Coppock's for the " packets," which contained gold. His father promised him and his brother a situation under Government, through Mr. Coppock, but they did not obtain it. Witness was a f.i mer now on his own account. Had acted in the same capacity as doorkeeper in 1847, under Raphael's party, and saw a good many electors at the house in Sovereign alley on the occasion of the last election, who had been there in Mr. Raphael's time. Introduced the various electors to his father, who had been previously employed for Mr. B. B. Cabbell, the Conset votive candidate. Mr. Cabbell succeeded, and afterwards gave one of his (wit ness's) younger brothers a presentation to Christ's Hospital. Henry Edwards recalled and examined—Had not had returned to him any of the money ho had given as " head money" at the last election, nor had any persons made application to him to be allowed to return the money, beyond one of the name of Saunders, nor had he had any communication with any one on the subject. Had received a letter from Mr. Coppock, from Hastings, wishing to know what had taken place before the Com mission. Confirmed the statement made by his son as to the prospect of obtaining a situation, and that the communication to that effect was received from Cop pock. Ho promised a situation, but there was no men tion of a Government eituatior, Francis Edwards, third son of the last witness, said he had acted in a ;similar way with his brother on the occasion of the last election at the house in Sovereign alley. Went to Coppeck's, in Parliament-street, and received three "packets" containing gold. Mr. James Coppeck was then called, sworn, and ex amined—Was a solicitor and Parliamentary agent, No. 40, Parliament-street. Prior to ooming to give his evi dence before the Commissioners to disclose anything that had been confided to him in confidence, and in his capacity as solicitor, he deemed it right to obtain the permission of Mr. Bell before he disclosed anything, as without Mr. Bell's permission, with all deference to the Court, no power upon earth would make him say a single word. He accordingly wrote to Mr. Bell, and received a reply, both of which he would read to the Court. He was perfectly willing to tell everything he knew. The letter to Mr. Bell stated that before h. (Mr. Coppock) was examined at St. Alban's, he should wish to know whether there was any, and if any, what part of his communications with him relative to the St. Alban's election he (Mr. Bell) wished to be kept secret. He held, and was prepared to hold, that the confidence that was always reposed by a client in a solicitor could not he violated by an es post facto Act of Parliament, such as the St. Alban's Bribery Commission Act, and no power on earth should make him say it, without Mr. Bell had the kindnets to inform him, by post on the fol lowing day, whether he was in any way held by him bound not to disclose any matter between them relative to St. Alban's, or whether he might feel at liberty to relate what he thought the facts warranted, and the Com missioners compelled him to tell. Had Mr. Bell not given his permission, he should not have appeared before the Commission. The answer he received to this letter from Mr. Bell was to the effect, that Mr. Bell requested he would not, on his (Mr. Bell's) account, withhold any evidence he (the witness) might think either necessary or important in carrying out the objects of the St. Alban's Commission. By that Act, the confidence between so licitor and client was violated; but he was not aware that there was anything it was desirable to withhold, Admitted having written a letter from Hastings to Ed wards, asking for information as to how the inquiry was going on, and the day after Edwards had been examined ho (witness) received a reply from Edwards, stating, " It is said by the Commissioners that you will be in attendance here on Tuesday next, the day to which the Commission have adjourned. Nothing has come out yet touching your name, further than the money-2,500/. being traced to your office." It appeared to have been sent to his (Coppock's) office, by Mr. Bell's partner, cor roborated by Messrs. Brace and Colt. They had drawn out from him what his inducement was to act, but he should not without further advice answer the question, cost him what it might. He had gone through the re gister alphabetically, and it appeared that money had been given to 250 persons. The letter concluded by saying—" Mr. Bell has just left after taking dinner in excellent spirits." It was in 1849 that witness first heard of the vacancy in the representation of Sr. Alban's, and when he first knew Mr. Bell. A friend of Mr. Bell's and of witness celled on witness, and stated that he had a friend who wished to get into Parliament. Witness's profession led him very much in connexion with Parliamentary matters, and this had been so for the last fifteen or sixteen year. Shortly after Sir Robert Peel's celebrated speech " Register, register," en association was formed by the Liberal party, in 1835, which comprised several hundred people of the Liberal party, and shortly after, witness became secretary to the association The object of the association was to attend to the registrations ge nerally throughout England in the different boroughs, and to promote the Liberal cause generally. That led him into communication with nearly every borough and county town in the kingdom, and from that time to this he had been in some way connected with the Liberal party whenever a vacancy occurred. He had constantly watched them, and knew something of most places in England; and if, instead of going through the register of voters as Mr. Edwards had done, and marking the name of every man who had sold his vote, he were to go through the list of British boroughs returning Members to Parliament, beginning with the first on the list—say Abingdon, down to Stafford —and if he were to put oppo site the name of the respective Members " bought his seat," he should m a k e more extraordinary d i sclosures than that of Mr. Ed war d s himself.—(Loud app l ause , and cries of " Ord er .") He did not make that state ment for applaus e; b ut h e statedit to show the system, and no man i n th e ki ngdom had a greater horror o f the system th an h e had. When the vacancy oc curred, and Mr. Bell was anxious to get into Par liament, a Mr. Thorby, an old friend ot witness, said he h —did witness k now of a vacancy. W i tness as k e d who his friend was, and what were his position an d cir cumstances, and if h e was what was ca ll e d " a produce ad a friend who was anxi ous to g et into Parliament able man" — (Laughter) —if h e w as an orator. Mr. Thorby replied, " Oh, yes, I w ill g ive you the informa tion, but I only want to know if there is a vacancy, and then I will introduce you to him, but I have no autho rity to give his name." Witness also required his poli tics. Never was employed by Re y but one side, and never would Le. Witness took time to consider, and Thorby returned in three weeks, a nd gave t he name of Mrr in s Bell.epl pocket-book, Witnessexpense ,dr having made t g et:lmraMa memorandum B oitn e a l ga l ud i t cr o ime call st a sh o i t n so n h ajl i mt m rc. . he would be wil ling to incu r , b ecause it was absolutely necessary to know the depth o f a M ember of Par li ament ' s p oc k et, n as well as the nature of his polit i cs. —(L aug h ter. ) thatwu would be only willing object Witness inquired th e amount of money h e (M r .

Mr. Bell stated that he had no ambitious views that ho asked for nothing— that money was n o t to be an o bj ec t th a t h e should not mind a p roper expend i ture . Wit ness asked him what he would expend, and when asked, in reply, what would bo sufficient, sa id from 1,500/. to 2,500/. according to the place that was sought, and Mr. Bell authorised him to send word to him whenever a vacancy occurred. Twelvemonths elapsed before any thing did occur, and then on Mr, Raphael's death wit ness negotiated with parties at St, Alban's, and amongst the number with Mr. Edwards, cad he told him that 2,5001. would be the expense if there was a contest, but that if there was not a contest it would be considerably less. There was also a probability at this time that the Hon. Mr. Craven would become a candidate; and a per son of family like Mr. Craven always had an advantage over a man from the ranks, but ultimately Mr. Craven declined to stand. At this period witness found that St. Alban's was in the market in London in threo different channels, and by three parties connected with the borough, each of them anxious to promote a candidate, and witness had peculiar means for knowing the movements of all three, and it was in this w ay he heard th at with Sir R. Carden 1,500/. aas the limit, and h did not like 2,500/.—(Laughter.) The that e third party in the borough made every effort to get a candidate sake simply for the of the expenditure, oss of principle or politics—(Hear.) This sort of thing ha d been and utterly ragardl e . the c ase h at St. Alban's for hundred Years. The principle ot " bleed the last one and bribe" had alway s been the ruling principle. There in St. Alban's who knew were some respectable but'stem, the great majority of the nothing of that system, g voters had always been bought and _ sold without regard anything else.

When the money came to his office for Edwards he had no itieti actions as to how it was to be e mployed. Was aware of what was going on in St. Alban's; but did not know that the money was to Le (M. ployed iu bre [wry. Though he (witness) hs.d been secre tary to the Reform Association, which was now defunct, THE BANK OF ENGLAND. The prospect that the ;steady increase in the bullion of the Bank may continue for a lengthened period is regarded in the City as giving ad ditional urgency to the question of the law of partnership. :With Consols already approaching par, it is evident that if a further accumulation of capital should go on for several months, some new outlet will be forced. It is equally evident, from the condition of Eu rope, that that new outlet must be found either at home, in the colonies, or in the United States. Whether each shall enjoy its healthy proportion will depend mach upon the boldness and promptitude of our commercial legisla tion. No one can have mixed in business during the last four years without arriving at the conviction that the day of joint-stock companies, under their old form, is at an end, and consequently that if capital is to be diffused and employed at home it must be under some new conditions. The system of foreign loans has equally received a deathblow. Sardinia and Den mark are, perhaps, the only two borrowing States in Europe that could now raise even small amounts in our markets, and these have already been supplied to the extent their resources warrant. Austria and France indicate respectfully an annual want of about 8,000,000/. sterling; but it has been demonstrated that, although if the present state of things in those countries is to continue the money must be raised in some manner, it will be impossible for the smallest fraction of it to be obtained here. The fate of the recent proposals con nected with the Western Railway of France shows that as regards public works in that country the prospect is the same, and that hence fee scheme for the Lyons and Avignon line, which is to fee one of the earliest measures before tho Assembly, will fail to derive any support from this side. Thus, while en terprise at home is checked by the state of the law, it is shut out from the entire conti nent by political causes. As regards the colonies, the Cape can afford no field while it is the scene of war, and capitalists will not venture their money in Australia when they must wait eight months to hear even of its arrival. In India Government interference and super vision is inconsistent with the possibility of commercial progress, and Canada can never compete on a large scale with the attractions of her immediate neighbours. Under these circumstances it is plain that when the next ex ternal rush of capital takes place it will be to the United States. Indeed, for the les.st five years, the value of money in the two countries has been so disproportioned that all who were conversant with the opportunities that presented themselves were surprised the natural course of operations, which:was sure, sooner or later, to bring about a nearer adjuntment of the rates, was so long delayed. A knowhe lge of the way in which our partnership law operates to discourage individual enter prise and to dam up capit tif till it breaks all bounds in a sympathetic mania is sufficient, however, to explain the anomaly. There is no re Cason why the rewards of en terprise should not be eh neost as great in this country as in America, and they would become so if capital were equally free. That the'un de rtakings which:have been car ried forward in the various states for:the past five years have yielded high rewards which have had nothing to do with any artificial excitement, has been proved by tho fact of the rate of money during the whole time having rile pal from 5 to 12 per cent., a period of some months having, moreover, just been passed with safety in which it was as high as from 12 to 18 per cent. With the growing intercourse between the two countries it will be impossible that such a dis parity can much longer continue. Tho thing to be de sired, however, is that enter -prise should be so facilitated in England as to render it worth while to pay high rates for money here in place of letting the equalization be effected by a sudden drain - to the other side. There are, it is true, abundant openiesgs in the United States in which English capital na'g ht, in moderate supplies, be constantly employed, andi still more numerous aro the projects in which a union of the two nations would be ad vantageous; but a violent and indiscriminate outpouring is ruinous alike to both, ice it corrupts the one and en rages the other by all the consequent lose. Whether this result, which was witness o d in 1839, is again to be seen a few years hence must., therefore, very much depend upon the course of legit. lation meanwhile; but if such should be the case, it is s s be hoped, when we experienc its inconveniences, we sh ell be su ffi c i ent l y j ust to b ear i n mind that the reproach n t our own doors will be heavier than any we can be entitle el to throw elsewhere.— Tirnes City Article. EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1851. PLUNDER OF THE BRIG VIOLET, OF WISBEACH, BY PIRATES-CAPTIVITY OF HER CREW AMONG THE MOORS. FURTHER INTELLIGENCE. Mr. Drummond Ilay, the Chargi d'Affaires at Tan gier, has mrde report to the Admiralty that the survivors of the crew of the Violet were in health at the time of the departure of the mail. This occurrence took place on the 3d or fth of October, end it appears more than strange for the Violet's owner, captain, and crew, to have been suffered to remain so long in captivity. The French Government are about to make reprisals on Sallee, for some maltreatment which the crew of a Marseilles ship, wrecked upon the coast of Morocco, un derwent from the Moors; and it is hoped that this affair of the Violet's will cause Lord Palmerston to bestow a chastisement upon the entire nest of pirates, so that our ships may navigate the Mediterranean without hindrance. We tette the subjoined from another source : The following is a list of the casualties on board the Janus's boats:— Commander Powell, shot through both thighs, nol dangerously. MT. Painter, shot through both thighs, slightly. John Ford, boatswr'n mate, leg shattered, dan gerously. J. Ending, seaman, kg shattered, dangerously. James Frost, seaman, shot through the body, dan gerously. J. M'Tean, marine, shot in the hip, slightly. James Connoly, boy, shot in the arm, dangerously. B. Mason, boy, slighted wounded in the head. The Janus proceeded to Tangier on the 21st, no doubt for the purpose of acquainting our Consul there with what had taken place, that the same aright be made known to the Emperor. The mishap to the Janus will probably be shortly fol lowed by a more effective dealonstration against the pirates. The Governor of Gibraltar, on the 25th, for warded dispatches by the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steamer Sultan, to Admiral Sir William Parker at Malta. Dispatches were also sent by the Montrose to Commodore Martin, at Lisbon, on receipt of which the Arethusa, 50, and screw frigate Dauntless, were in stantly ordered to Gibraltar. It was elso understood that reparation would bo demanded from the Emperor of Morocco for the aggressions and piracies of his subjects on the Riff coast. WRECK ON THE LONG SAND. The French brig Etoile do la bier was wrecked on Thursday on this ill-fated sand. The following is the statement of the captain (Jouanna), as communicated at his request, by Mr. 0. J. Williams, the French consular agent at Harwich :—" The 30th October, between 5 and 6 A.M., we atm& on the Long Sand, the wind blowing a gale from the N.N.W., the weather being very thick, which prevented our seeing the lights. As soon as the vessel struck the rudder was unshipped and the stern post displaced; she filled immediately. For our own safety we cut down the mainmast, which fell into our longboat and broke it to pieces. We were in this sad position and covered by the sea, when we perceived two smacks snaking towards us, but to our astonishment they came within two miles of us and then bore away. We then considered ourselves as lost, for the sea become higher, and at times completely covering us. At this moment we perceived a third smack; the crew were launching their boat and five men, of whom oue was the master, with unequalled courage embarked in it, and came, in spite of the heavy sea, under our bowsprit, when six of my crew with much diffi culty got into it. The boat being very much laden made for the smack, which they regained with the greatest fatigue in an hour. As soon as the men were on board the same five men returned to rescue the four of us left behind, and at 8.30 A.u. wo were all ten on board the smack.

In the shipping intelligence of yesterday It wrs re ported that the Violet brigantine, from Gelata to Queenstown, supp ose d to b laden with a ctrgo of Indian coin, was captured by a horde of pirate Moors in the Bay of Botoya, to the west of Cape Tres Forces; that one man was killed end the master wounded and deteined with the rest of the crew a prisoner for ransom by the Moors, and that the brigantine an d h er cargo were de stroyed by the pirates owing to a quarre l respect i ng t h e pet talon of the nlunder. This ill-fated ship belongs to the port of Wisbeach, and stands A 1 at Lloyd's; her owner, Mr. Edward Bailey Cross, the youngest son of the late Rev. Samuel Cross, of Leverington, near Wis beach, hes most unfortunately accompanied bis ship on this voyage. Mr. Cross joined the Violet at Glasgow, in Apiil, end chartered her with coals and iron from the Clyde to Malaga, and to prcceed from thence to Galata for grein for the Urited Kingdom. The Violet reeehcd Galatz on the Gth of August, and sailed with a cargo of ledieu coin for Queenstown on the 12th. She mede Constentinople on the 28th, e ed a letter was received from Mr. Cross stactig the expected to reach Queenstownin six weeks. Latterly much anxiety hes been felt respecting !ho Violet, a 9 she TN 9 a re markably fest sailer, end American built, end rise, crom the fact of several vessels, which left Galata later than her having eteived at Queenstown. By the steam-ship Montrose, adsices have reached Southampten respecting repr:sels having been made by the Janus upon too Riff pirates for their capture of a Spanish ship, the Jouen Emilia, and that the Janus had been beaten off ;by the Moors. It is also reported that five Biltish subjects are held as captives by the 13,douies, who demand 100 piastres ransom for them. These five par;:es Pre, most probably, Mr. Cross, Captain Layton, the master of the Violet, and the survivors of the crew. 119 mention is made that one man was killed and the master wounded, great anxiety is felt by Mr. Samuel Massey Cress, of the Horseshoe steam-mills, Wisbeach, as to the fat- of his brother, especially as mention is made of only five British subjects Icing prisoners, the Violet's crew con sisting of eight, including the owner and captain. Cap tain Layton's wife resides at Newport, Monmouthshire. By this time it is hoped that the authorities at Gibraltar have released the Violet's crew, and that Lord Palmerston will give orders for an example to be made of the state which fosters hordes of pirates on its shores. The French Government is about to bombard Sallee for an outrage upon the wreck of a merchantman belonging to Mareeilles, but this atrocity committed upon the Violet fer exceeds that upon the French wreck. The Violet is only partially insured. THE "TIMES" AND ITS REPORTS. (From the Morning Post.) The Times, in its imp ression of yesterday, thus ex presses itself:— " These speeches (Kossuth's) have been carefully pre pared, adroitly modelled, i 1/1 d fluently delivered, and they have received, in our cols. Dna exclusively, the serviceable I honour of being fully rep( nted." We need not here takeithe trouble to demonstrate Mow much we love the Times,) nit, whatever be the amount of our affection for that jour nal, it is very necessary for us to show to the public th( it we love truth more. The speeches delivered by M. Kossuth, which alone deserve the laudatory epithets of ' our contemporary, are those which ho addressed to the friends of the Mayor of South ampton, at Winchester, on Saturday, the 25th Oct.; to the company assembled a t the Southampton banquet, on Tuesday, the 28th 0 et.; to the Corporation of London, in their Gui iidhall , on Thursday, the 30th Oct ; and to th o working classes of the metropolis, at Copenb agen House, on Monday, the 3d of this month.

The annual autumn meeting came cff yesterday, and more favourably than the siintry m . ,(1 inclement state of the weather in the early part of the day led us to antici pate; still, however clear the sky may be, a piercing north-easterly wind, and the temperature at the freezing paint, are unpleasant accompaniment s of a race x -m po e s e e t d ing a in any locality, and they are doubly so on spot as Epsom Downs. It is not surprising, th e r e f o r e , that the gathering was wanting in everything essential to pecuniary success. There were not a dczen gentle men present, and only a section of the " ring;" the grand stand was more thinly attended than we recollect on any former occasion, and its neighbours, right and left, were almost empty; in short, the meeting was a failure, and Mr. Dorling, whose programme showed a liberal amount of public money, must have closed his autumn account with a losing balance. Many doubt the policy of having races so late in the year, and it cer tainly is worth consideration, whether it will not be bet ter to abandon them, or if held at all to fix them at an earlier period. There might, probably, be fewer horses, but assuredly they would draw a larger and a better class of company than we saw yesterday. In pro nouncing the meeting a failure, we refer only to the at tendance. As far as success depended on the sport, it could not have been more complete; there was enough of it to keep the company on the Downs from one o'clock until nearly dusk. The fields for the principal events were large, and speculation moderately brisk; it com menced with The Paddock Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 2.5 added, three yrs old, ist 91b; four, Bst 71b; five and upwards, B st 101 b; winners extra ; mares and geldings allowed Sib.
