RECOLLECTIONS OF THE GREAT EXIIIBI77OIV. It was calculated that some hundreds cf separate pamphlets were published within a few months in al lusion to the Catholic hierarchy. Within a much shorter period we have witnessed the appearance of a still larger number of brochures having reference to the Great Industrial Exhibition. Guide-books and prize essays, poetical squibs and very prosy com ments, work% of the cheapest and the costliest cha racter, some of them interspersed with rude wood cuts, and others adorned with exceedingly beautiful engravings, have poured from the press during the est summer in inexhaustible profusion, insomuch hat their frequency of issue has altogether defied notification. Prints, moreover, have been published wholly apart from the letter press descriptions of the Crystal Palace—so that every feature of that remarkable building must by this time have become tolerably familiar to those who may, by some unlucky accident or other, have been prevented from personally visiting the structure them selves. Notwithstanding, however, all that has been thus accomplished by our artists in the way of com memorating the more peculiar characteristics of the Exhibition, it yet remained certain that there was room for a larger and more comprehensive attempt than any hitherto adventured upon with a view to afford some permanent reminder of the various attractions of the Crystal Palace. No doubt George Cruikshank's etching of the interior was in every respect entitled to our admiration. No doubt again that Nash's coloured engravings of the same were equally, in their way, deserving of eulo gium. But, beyond all this, it was sufficiently mani fest that there was still room fur some work of a yet more detailed description, presenting to the eye many of the phases of the Exhibition heretofore remaining without embellishment. Hence the issue of the present volume, a volume, it must be allowed, of a very splendid description. Bring in size a hand some folio, the book, of course, admits of considerable minuteness on the part of the different artists en gaged upon the delineations. Externally its attractions are of a most graceful and even poetic kind, presenting to us, on the cover, a gilded semblance of the globe, supported by the blended initials of Albert and Victoria. Over the effigy of the earth is hovering a dove, with an olive branch; round it are wreathed branches of laurel, from the leaves of which are fes tooned on the one side a cable, and on .the other a thread bearing a shuttle, while under it are tastefully grouped together such things as a book, a vase, a goblet, an oar, a sail, and a banner, intermingled with corn and flowers, and surmounted by that fan tastic caduceus of Mercury or Hermes, which was the mythical type of the world's commerce:Those who may be induced by these charming decorations to examine the contents of the volume closely will, we are gra tified to think, be certain of experiencing no disap pointment whatever. It consists altogether of twenty fee really admirable illustrations from the hands of such artists as Absolon, Telbin, Pidgeon, Goodall, Michael, Dolby, and Wilson. The vraisemblance of each engraving will be ut once recognised by those who have frequented the Crystal Palace. Several among the number are conspicuous for the delicacy and vigour with which the characteristics of this astonishing spectacle have been caught and rendered. Among these we may especially particularise the plate representing the department of " America," and com prising an exquisite sketch of Power's lovely " Greek Slave.' Another gives a very noble idea of the colossal equestrian statue of Godfrey of Bouillon • and a third pourtrays with extraordinary success the wonderful group of the Amazon of Kiss. As a frontispiece to the volume, we have a capital delineation of the aspect of the interior, comprising a view of the transept and a perspective of the west nave, or the one dedicated to British departments. The Coalbrookdale Dome forms an elegant vignette; and altogether the work is true to its title, and will prove, we are satisfied, one fraught with many noble and delightful recollections of the Greet Exhibition. EXPECTED ARRIVAL OF KOS- SUTII AT SOUTHAMPTON. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY.—There is now no longer any doubt that this illustrious chief will first land at this port on bis visit to England. Indeed, from the nature of the communication received by the Mayor on Tuesday from the secretary of Kossuth, it was expectee he would, if permitted to travel through France to Havre, arrive here this morning by the Wonder steamer, which left the latter port last evening. In anticipation of such an event a special messenger was in waiting in the docks, to con vey intelligence to head quarters should he so arrive. A great number of individuals also collected, anxious to catch a glimpse of the brave man. They were, however, doomed to disappointment. The steamer arrived about half -past nine, after a very tempestuous passage, but Kossuth was not board, nor had be arrived at Havre. It is still, therefore, very un certain whether h e w ill a d opt t hi s rou t e , come three's; from Marseilles in the Mississippi, or go to Gibraltar, and thence to Southampton by the Pe ninsular mail-steamer, which is expected to reach Southampton on Saturday. In either case, the re ception of Kossuth will be eirthusiastic in the ex treme. The worthy Mayor, Richard Andrews, Esq., whose hospitality is proverbial, has set to work in right earliest to give the illustrious Magyara recep tion worthy of his exalted c h aracter . H e will be the private guest of his Worship at the Chateau, Win chester, together with the whole of the suite. The corporation have not been idle. There ap pears to be a hearty disposition on the parts of all to co:operate and show to Kossuth that he has sympa thisers at Southampton. Several meetings have been held, and the arrangements are now completed to cordially welcome this noble Hungarian the moment he may arrive in our waters. An address has been prepared which will greet him on landing, and a public banquet will take place in honour of his visit, but the day for this has not of course been fixed. Apropos, speaking of the Mayor of Southampton, it has been determined to present Mr. Andrews with a testimonial, as a slight reward for the eminent ser vices this gentleman has rendered the town since his accession to office, now two years since, having last year, on the expiration of his year of mayoralty, been unanimously re-elected. A. meeting of a great num ber of respectable and influential residents of the borough was held on Monday evening last, at the Royal York Hotel, to take preliminary steps, when the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : "That the public spirited conduct of Richard An drews, Esq., Mayor of Southampton, has been such as to entitle him to some mark of the high esteem in which he is held by his fellow-townsmen, not only for the impartial manner with which (for two successiv e years) he has discharged the onerous duties belonging to the office of chief magistrate of the borough, but also for the munificent and princely manner in which on every occasion he has sought to bring the town into repute with strangers and foreigners, thereby adding greatly to the position of Southampton as a shipping port in the south of England." It is gratifying to add the meeting was attended by gentleman of all shades of political opinion, who most cordially entered into the view of the originators of the proposition. Another meeting is announced for this evening at the same hotel, for the purpose of formieg a committee, and carrying the objects of the forego ing resolution into effect. THE PASSPORT SYSTEM IN FRANCE.—The Siecle says—" The decree of the police relative to foreigners has been fatal to one of them. A German, Johann B—, a tailor by trade, Rue Princesse, No. 4, exaggerated in imagi nation the effects of the decree, and determined not to sub mit to it, from the fear th a t he would be sent back to his country. It was in vain that some of his countrymen and acquaintances told him that it was only a simple measure of police, and that they themselves had easily obtained a parrais de sejour ; he would not, in spite of their pressing solicita tions, endeavour to obtain one, though certainly it would not have been refused. Under the impression of the painful idea that he might be expelled from France, be ceased to be gay and communicative, and his gloom increased every day. Two days ago one of his countrymen went to see him. After having struck at the door and received no answer, although the concierge affirmed that he had seen him enter the pre vious evening, the commissary of police was sent for, and he had the door opened. B— was seen lying on th e b e d, giving no sign of life. He had suffocated himself with the fumes of charcoal. An inventory of his effects was made, and a sum of 3,000 f. in gold, silver, and notes was found in his box. He had saved it up out of his wages." DANGEROUS STATE OF HIGH HOLDORN.—THE Woon PAVEMENT.—For the last two or three day the lives of passengers and drivers through High Holborn, near Dean- Street, have been placed in great jeopardy by the sinking of a portion of the road, occasioned through the removal of the old wooden blocks in that portion, and yesterday (Thurs. day) it was a most alarming sight, one or two accidents having occurred to both drivers and passengers, but not, tance up fortunately, of a ser i ous c h aracter. Th e roa d f or some dis- High Holb or n h a s b ee n repaired with new wood but such has b een the quantity of blocks required, that suffi cient has not been made to complete the paving in that short time in which it was necessary to be accomplished, and hence the dangers that have been experienced. Bad enough is it for those persons who travel by cab, omnibus, or other vehicle by day ; still worse by night ; and therefore it is hoped that the parties concerned will take immediate steps to remedy the dangerous evil complained of. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—WiIIiam Matthews, the unfortunate man who was injured in consequence of the collision which took place on Saturday last near the Nine Elms station on the South- Western Railway, having breathed his last at St. Thomas's Hospital on Tuesday evening, an inquest was held on Wed nesday at the hospital, before Mr. J. Payne, the deputy co roner. The jury having viewed the body, and several wit nesses having been examined, the jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict of Accidental Death. FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE STRAND.—On Wed nesday, shortly before eight o'clock, a frightful accident oc curred at the entrance to Wych-street from the Strand. From the statement of those who witnessed the occurrence it appears that one of Mr. F. Partridge's waggons, the coal merchant, of Bank-end, Clink-wharf, Clink-street, South wark, was in the act of entering the street, when the fore wheel caught the wheel of a truck drawn by a young man coming in the opposite direction, on which a boy was riding. The collision threw the boy off, and before the waggon could be stopped the hind wheel gassed over the child's head, which it crushed completely flat, scattering the blood and brains in the road.

THE ADELPHI THEATRE• Last night a new farce, entitled Bloomerism ; or the Follies of the Day, was produced at this house, and met with the most flattering reception from a house crowded to excess. The heroine of the plot is Miss Woolgar, who, in the character of Mrs. Portia Lucretia Green, has to assert the rights of woman in this particular. Labouring to realise on the stage those ideas of the elegance and advantages of this dress, which some ladies inculcated at formal lectures on the subject, she calls upon her friend Mrs. Bounce (Miss Kathleen Fitz william), whom she finds in great trouble, her husband having taken up strange crotchets, respecting universal peace, which prompt him to bring into his house foreign counts, " who know everybody and everything," to entertain them with profuse hospitality, and at lest to threaten her with expulsion unless stie conform to his new mode of life. After a little conversation, Mrs. Green in • duces her friend to adopt the Bloomer dress, and to re ceive at her house that evening a few female friends, who will arrive similarly attired, and whom, after a quiet cup of tea, she purposes addressing on this revolution in female costume. Mrs. Muncie consents, in the hope of bringing her husband to his senses again, by forcing him t o p a y mo r e attention to do 'nestle concerns. lie, poor man, finding himself unable to procure dinner, in consequence of a vora cious policeman (Mr. 0. Smith), whom the servant, Siirey Potts (Miss Ellen Chaplin), has taken care to provide for, repairs with a count, whom he has just brought home, to the house of Mr. Green. This gen tleman is a great advocate of a vegetable diet, and Bounce and the Count find themselves at table ss ith several gentlemen, for whom nothing has been pre pared but a collection of vegetables—carrots, turnips, onions, salads, &c. A repast of this description not proving agreeable to his guests, the host rises, and en• forces, in a humorous speech the superiority and sanitary excellence of a vegetable diet, to which he attaches an extraordinary degree of importance. Cries of "Nonsense," "Humbug," "Stuff," and so on, continually interrupt him, and a scene of great confusion ensues, which keeps the audience in con stant laughter by the humorous points which cha racterise the conversation, and the vehemence with which the parties respectively advance the most absurd ideas. One man believes in hydropathy, an other in mesmerism and phonography, and Bounce gives the most ridiculous latitude to his notions of universal peace. In the midst of the uproar which ensues, Slownaan, a friendof the party (Mr. Woolgar), enters the room, and informs the guests that their wives are assembled at Mrs. Bounce's, in Bloomer costume, and are listening to a spirited harangue from Mrs. Green in vindication of it. And so it turns out. In the next scene we find the stage gorgeously fitted up as a drawing-room, which is graced by a dozen Bloomers. In a com manding position, and in a dress of great elegance, Miss Woolgar is delivering the Bloomer lecture; and, certainly, what with the affability of manner in which she addresses her compatriots of costume, the good sense of much which she says on the subject, and the charming tone of voice in which she speaks it, the advocates of the change need fear nothing from this new attack. The husbands sud denly come in and give vent to a few expressions of disapproval, but Mrs. Green dexterously disarms their opposition. At length Slowman suggests a compro mise, but Mrs. Green remains firm in her adherence to the Bloomer cause. The whole piece was splen didly put on the stage, and continued applause throughout the performance gave promise of a suc cessful " run." As an appropriate overture the " New Adelphi Bloomer Polka" has been composed by Mr. Alfred Mellon. A variation of " Yankee Doodle" is occasionally observable in the music, which is lively and pleasant. The polka itself was danced at the end by the Bloomers and their lords, and was honoured with an encore. A SUMMER MEMORY. BY E. E. M. K. (From Ainsworth's Magazine for September.) You remember how we rambled through the fields that sunny day, _ Discoursing of all beauteous things that thronged upon our way; From the wave of vernal grasses to the chaffinch 'mong the boughs, ..... Fro in the water's spotless lily to the sun that tanned our . _ brows; From the vetch and azure speedwell to the fly with gor- genus wings, That hung like gems and silver o'er the trumpet wood bine rings; And you culled the pale wild roses with their petals' waxen hue, So like a maiden's faintest blush, and so rich with sweet- ness too; And tufts of bright " forget me not," dear gift for part- ing hours! That looked as if the blue rill's wave had bubbled into flow'rs! You remember all the calmness, and the holy light then seemed, And the things despised in thoughtless hours hos beautiful we deemed; How ev'n the rook that crossed the sky—as some fou fancy might A saint in prayer—we greeted then as %were some thing of Not! And the gnats that droned above the pool in noonday's insect play, We discovered wore gay feathers that were glancing in the ray; And the sombre moth that glided by with brown and velvet wings, We agreed Ras clad in raiment such as never mantled kings. You remember when the length'ning shade fell cool upon the grass, And we watched it like dark lace-work o'er the verdant meadow pass; With the trill of linnets near us, and the clover breath ing round, Such ripo sweetness far the pilf'ring bees they swarmed the honeyed ground,— How you spoke to me of mysteries in Nature's mighty plan, That, despite its beaten track of laws no mortal eye may scan; Of marvels such as when the rock 'mid surging billows chained, The barren rock puts forth a bloom, a flow'ret hued and veined; And then of other wondrous facts with eloquence of speech, As if of earths hushed secrets you wero privileged to teach; And while I listened wond'ringly to wisdom raro as thine, You sighed to think how poor such store of knowledge the divine! You remember when the daylight failcd, and rose-tints turned to grey, And the yellow beams were fused with green along the western way; And silence crept upon the air, and foam-like mists appeared Along the water'4 dewy banks, and the trees grew dun and weird,— flow we watched the first soft star arise and the crowds that gathered soon About the purple light of eve as the rosy flowers in June; And the constellations, one by one, we traced amid the maze, " Cro wn-jewols" of the summer night with their thou sand sa r s h arrow t o n rauyrshe,arts dilated most—then most we " ytehaortned " t God's ow diadem?" kno'— we asked, and we felt our spirits glow, Glow with a souse of patient trust, that as night brought the stars, So unto us would wisdom come through death's dark prison bars.

FATAL C OLLIERY A CCIDENT .—BRISTOL, OCT. 2.— h _ been lost, occurred yesterday afternoon, a b o ut four o'clock, at Another fatal colliery acc id en t, by which three lives ave Welton Old Coalpit, near Mid summ er Norton, about fift een miles from thi s c i ty. The colliery i s s i tua t e d on thehigh road leading to Wells. The depth of the shaft is about 160 fathom s , the men being let down and up by means of a rope, which is wound over a drum, and to which the men, contrary to ordina7 practice, sometimes apnd themselves wit hout • the use of a bucket, by means of "rope shugs" attached t o a hook. Yesterday afternoon three men, named George Hill, Samuel Taylor, and George Delimore, attached them selves to the rope, with a view of being lowered into the pit. The rope was lowered in the usual way, no danger being apprehended, and the descent vas safely made till the men had reached about 150 feet from the bottom, when the rope suddenly broke, and all three were precipitated to the bottom of the shaft. An alarm was instantly given, and in a short time a fresh rope was fixed, and the bodies of the unfortunate men, two of whom must have been killed on the spot, were got up. They were all three dreadfully man gled ; one of them survived a short time after reaching the surface. Taylor has left a widow and children to lament their loss. Delimore, it was stated, was on the point of being married. No doubt a strict inq u i ry w ill b e ma d e by th e i coroner when he holds the inquest on the bodies as to the I CAWie 91 this frightful catastrophe. S UN, LONDON, AMERICAN NEWS. [A summary of the following appeared in our Af ternoon E lition of yesterday :—] SOTJTHAMPTON, OCT. 2.—The United States' mail steam-ship Franklin, Captain J. A. Wotton, arrive off Cowes at seven A.M. this morning, and after land ing the English mails and passengers proceeded on her voyage to Havre. The Franklin brought 68 passengers, 52 of whom are for Havre. The freight list comprises specie value 832,000 dolls., of which 600,000 dolls. are for Havre, the remainder, in gold, for London. She has also 500 bales of cotton, 100 packages India rubber goods, 60 packages of whalebone, and other freight, for Havre. The Franklin left New York at two P.M. on the 20th ult.; her run to Cowes has therefore occupied eleven and a half days mean time. She encountered head winds during the voyage. Her intelligence is of four days' later date from New York Mau that brought by the America to Liverpool. The United States mail steam ship Illinois arrived at New York on the 20th ult. with a fortnight's later news from California, and specie value 1,38,000 dolls. The Brother Jonathan had also arrived with 300,000 dolls. The news from the mining districts WdS very encouraging ; fresh discoveries had been made of gold deposits, and the yield of the precious metals was immense. The Indians were still com mitting depredations. Gold had been found a few miles south of San Diego. There is little intelligence of importance from the United States. President Fillmore had been in disposed, but the most recent accounts mention his recovery. The Boston Railroad jubilee bad terminated. 100,000 persons ware present, including the Presi dent of the Republic and Lord Elgin, the Governor- General of Canada, both of whom were well re ceived. In reference to this celebration the Tribune says : " Twenty years ago the first charter for a railroad was granted in Massachusetts; 17 years ago the first railroad was opened to the public; and they are now celebrating at Boston the completion of a system of sewn trunk lines, with numerous and extensive branches, including within the bounds of the state above 1,000 miles of railway, besides at least 1,500 miles of direct extensions or connexions beyond its borders. Of all these roads those within the state alone employ a capital of 52,000,000 dolls., and earn a yearly revenue of above 6,500,000; and thus it is not too much to estimate that 100,000,000 of Massachusetts capital have within these brief 20 years been invested in railroads which have their focus in Boston, and well invested to; and this is, on a fair calculation, but one-half of the capital invested in railways in New England. This is why they hold a jubilee there. They are right in doing so. They are right in rejoicing at the contemplation of a system "of public works absolutely unparalleled. We rejoice with them, and feel our Yankee blood tingling in sympathy for whatever benefits one part of this Republic benefits all others. But let us look into the occasion of the jubi lee a little more in detail. " Massachusetts has a small territory—its area is but 5,000,000 acres, and its population not 1,009,000. A rocky and barren soil, an unfriendly climate, and no navigable rivers opening channels to the interior, are the endowments with which old Massachusetts entered on her career. They are not all, however. She had a people unequalled in energy, concentration of purpose, and personal integrity; she had good schools, good laws, a glorious history, and the go-a-head spirit; she had also abundant water power, the enterprise to use it, and for a time the national policy has favoured her; she has built up manufactures, and on that basis stands the admirable example of a state that she now presents; and, finally, she has erected this great net-work of railways, extend ing in all directions, and bearing from every quarter a willing tribute of prosperity and the means of greatness still more complete and enduring." A fire had occurred in Sacramento city, entailing a loss of 30,000 dollars. The New York papers publish accounts from Val paraiso to the 9th of August, but they add nothing of importance to the advices previously published in this journal, and received by the West India mail steamer Avon. - - President Fillmore was expected at New York when the Franklin sailed. Lord Elgin also contem plated paying a visit to that city. The President, in a letter to Governor Lowe, of Maryland, had expressed his determination to enforce the laws against the persons who took part in the late outrage in Pennsylvania. The French war steamer Mogador sailed from New York on the 18th ult. for Rochefort. Upon Cuban affairs we have nothing new. NEW YORK MARKETS. SATURDAY, SEPT. 20.—The cotton sales of the week amounted to 3,600 bales, but the market was exceed. ingly dull. I❑ coffee there is a steady demand, but no advance in prices. The sales are very large. The flour receipts were moderate, with a very fair home trade. Prices are steady. The export demand has declined considerably. The old stock is reduced very much. Grain—The asking prices of wheat being above the views of the miller, the transactions still continue light, eci'h unsettled prices. Barley is very dull. Corn is more plentiful, but the markets were the same. In the hide trade the markets have been very dull, and the sales have been confined to the actual wants of the trade. Indigo stands the same as last week's prices. Provision trade steady, but the demand is good. The spirit market has advanced in consequence of the advices recently sent from Europe respecting the bad state of the vintage. The stock is large. In sugars the prices are very much depressed, and in favour of tbo buyers. The wool trade is remarkably dull, in consequence of there being no demand from the manufacturers. The supply is very large, and holders readily submit to great reductions to effect sales. Freights—We have no alterations to make of any im portance; the amount offering is moderate. The Liver pool cotton is 3s. 6d. and 4s. 6d. per bale. Flour, 6d. and 13:1.; naval stores, ls.; heavy good, 10s. to 155.; grain, 3d. To London: tobacco, 205.; cheese, 305.; flour, ls. 6d. and ls. 9d.; measurement goods, 255. and 304.; heavy goods, 20s. and 255. To Havre: cotton, 1 , 1.; ashes, dolls. 4 and 5; rice, bark, &c., dolls. 5 and 6; measurement goods, dolls. 6 and 8. To California, 40c. and 50e. The market for stocks has slightly improved, and closes with great steadiness. The sales have been greater, yet with less speculation. The amount of gold co arrive within a few days is large, about 2,500,000, dolls. and has a tendency to allay fears, yet the exports con inuo. 500,000 dolls. will be shipped to-morrow. Money is in great request, at 12 and 15 per cent., and the amount available for discounts is rather contracting than enlarging. Foreign exchange continues firm at 10 and 10} for sterling, and sf. 1 le. and sf. 121 c. for France. The present condition of the money market is not likely to change, as the continued shipments of coin keep in full activity the apprehensions of the banks, as the receipts of gold do not all go into the banks, though all the shipments come out of it. The general circula tion will be benefited. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The flag of Admiral the Hon. Sir P. Bladen Capel, K.C.8., was hauled down at Portsmouth last evening at sunset on board the Victory, and , at nine o'clock yesterday morning the flag of Sir 'Thomas Briggs, G.C. St. M. and G., was hoisted on board her. The Britannia fired the usual salute of 17 guns, which the Victory returned. Captain George Bohun Martin, C. 8., the now flag captain at Portsmouth, is a nephew of the late Ad miral of the Fleet, Sir George Martin, G.C.M.G. He has served on full pay twenty-one years since his entry at the Naval College in 1812. Embarked April 11, 1815, as midshipman on board thelmpreg nable, 98, Captain Samuel Campbell Rowley, bearing the flag of Sir Josias Rowley, in the Mediterranean ; where, in the following October, he removed to the Spartan, 38, Captain Phipps Hornby. Quitting the ship in July, 1816, he next, until the receipt of his first commission, dated March 17, 1821, served on the Channel, Mediterranean, and Cork stations in the Madagascar and Mw ander frigates, both commanded by Captain Sir James Alexander Gordon; Ganymede, 26, Captains William M'Cul loch and Hon.

On the date of his official promotion as above, Mr. Martin was no minated Flag Lieutenant, in the Queen Charlotte, 100, to Admiral Sir James Hawkins Whitshed, Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth. Obtaining a second promote' commission in consequence, April 24, 1824, he assumed command, April 17, 1827, of the Musquito, 10, and, returning to the Mediterra nean, was afforded an opportunity of sharing, Oct. 20 following, in the battle of Navarin. His conduct on that occasion procured him the honours above iadicated, and was the cause of his being advanced (as m ap a p n o d in er tn ) i t e o nt p ,, o w st e - r r e a l k A , p A ril pr l i 7 l , 3, 1 a 8 n 2 d 8. soon as he had serve d t h e necessary t i me as com- Oc H to i b s er l3 3 ex l t , 1835, to the Volage, 28, an d C a l e d on i a , 120, flag ship of Sir Josias Rowley, both in the Mediterrean, whence he returned in the autumn of 1837. He has been in command since November 4, 1844, of the Eagle, 50; in which ship he at first conveyed Rear- Admiral Samuel Hood Inglefield to the south-east coast of America, was then employed in North Ame rica and the West Indies, a n d in the p er f ormance o f a particular service. Commander Colson Festing, sixth son of the late Commander Henry Festing, R.N., C. 8., has been promoted to the rank of captain. This officer entered the navy Sept. 26, 1807, as first-class volunteer on board the Volontaire, 38, Captain Charles Bullen, with whom he continued to serve, latterly as mid i abipultin of the Cambrian, 40 , until Deember, 1811; FRIDAY during which period he assisted at the capture of the island of Pomegue, near Marseilles, and the destruc tion of Fort Rioux, mounting 14 guns, near Cape Croisette, in 1809, besides actively co-operating for many months with the patriots on the coast of Cata lonia, where, April 12 and 14, 1811, he witnessed the capture of the towns of St. Philon and Palamos. Removing next to the Caledonia, 120, flag-ship of Sir Edward Pellew, he shared in a partial action with the French fleet off Toulon, November 5, 1813 ; after which he joined the Alcemene, 38, Captain Jere miah Coghlan, under whom, independently of the capture of La Fleche national schooner, of 12 guns, he was in warm action, April 11, 1814, with the batteries of Porto Maurizio. On the paying off of the Caledonia, which ship he had rejoined, Mr. Festing, in September, 1814, became Admiralty midshipman of the Rhin, 38, Captain Charles Malcolm. After a further servi tude as master's mate in the Pilot, 18, Captain John Toup Nicolas, and Boyne, 98, flag-ship of Lord Ex mouth, he obtained a commission, dated March 10, 1815, and was employed pro tem. towards the close of the same year, in the Partridge, 16, Captain John Millar Adye. His subsequent appointments as lieu tenant, we find, were chiefly as first lieutenant-Dec. 7, 1320, to the Seringapatam, 46, Captain Samuel Warren, on particular service-August 3, 1825, to the Fly, 18, Captains Frederick Augustus We:herall and Foliott IValrond Pennell, on the East India sta tion-Nov. 26, 1830, to the Belvidere, 42, Captain lion. Richard Saunders Dundas, in the Mediterranean -and March 4 and August 27, 1834, to the Presi dent, 52, and Vernon, 50, both commanded on the North American, West Indian, and Mediterranean stations, by Captain John M'Kerlie. Attaining the rank of commander Jan. 15, 1838, he next joined, on the 30th of the same month, the Hercules, 72, in which 314 he served for nearly two years under Cap tain J. T. Nicolas and Edw. Barnard ; and May 11, 1841, the Dublin, 50, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Richard Thomas, in South America. Since the Autumn of 1842 he has been on half-pay. _ The following is the number of men victualled on board of the ships in commission at Portsmouth, in chiding the crews of their tenders and supernu meraries : Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord G.

Rind from the: James Glasspole, a boy, employed in the bakery at the Clarence-yard, having injured his hand with the machinery, was removed to Haslar, where it was found necessary to remove the forefinger of his right hand at the socket. _ Died, Mr. George Hughes (only son of George Hughes, Lq., of Upper Deal), midshipman of the Albion, 90, Captain Hope Johnstone. In the dis charge of his duty in the foretop he was struck by a heavy sail, w hi c h s wept him out of the top on to the deck, where he expired shortly from the injuries he received. Mr. Davis, the master attendant of the Clarence yard, has just completed a cooking galley (Grant's) of large dimensions for the Simoom. The condenser was put on board her last week, which was looked at and approved by the Admiral and officers of the dockyard. It cooks for 1,000 men ' and will produce ninety gal lons of fresh wa t er p e r hour. Bellerophon went out of dock at Portsmouth on Wednesday, and alongside the jetty. She has manned the Hercules, which she takes with her to Malta. Hercules is taking in a large quantity of victualling stores for Gibraltar and Malta. The Vulcan iron screw steam troop-frigate, Mas ter Commander Penn, embarked detachments of the 12th Lancers and 12th Foot last evening, and went to Spithead with them to-day, where she recei v ed ad vance, and sailed f o r Queenstown, to embark other troops for the Cape of Good llope. The newly entered men of the Dauntless screw steam-frigate, 33, Captain Halsted, were paid wages in advance to-day. She will sail to-morrow, should the present boisterous weather moderate, for Lisbon. Woolaunt!, OCT. 2.—The Rattler steam-sloop, Commander Arthur Melleish, was paid in advance at this port to-day, and proceeds to-morrow to Green hithe, where she will take on board her powder from Purfleet, and on the following day will be tried at the measured mile in Sea Reach. If found on trial to be in good sea-going order she will proceed to Plymouth, calling at Portsmouth on her way round to embark Major-General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence for a passage to Madeira, and will also take on board su pernumeraries at Portsmouth for the vessels on the East India and China station, on which she is to be employed in lieu of the Reynard, last on the coast of China. The Black Eagle, Master-Commander Petley, re turned to Woolwich yesterday, after attending on the Lords of the Admiralty, from Chatham to Sheerness and back, and is to be taken into the basin to have new boilers. Mr. Roberts, Master of the Blenheim, with a crew that brought round the Defiance from Portsmouth to Woolwich, is to return to the latter port in the Sprightly steam-vessel, whoa ready to return. She has been delayed here a few days to have one of her sway beams replaced for one that was injured during her recent service in bringing round the Blazer steam-vessel to assist in laying the telegraphic cable from Dover to Calais. The Pluto steam-vessel is now ready for commis sion at this port. The Torch is at Deptford, also ready for commis sion, having undergone a thorough repair. The Myrtle steam-vessel will have her repairs com pleted at Woolwich by Saturday next, and will then return to Sheerness, where she is stationed. CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S EXPEDITION. Captain Horatio Austin, C. 8., and Captain Om manney arrived in town on Wednesday evening, leaving the squadron at Yarmouth and Grimsby; and yesterday these galla nt o ffi cers ha d lengthenedinter views at the Admiralty with the different members of the board and th e hyd rographer. Rear- Ad m i ra l Sir John Ross, C. 8., was also at the Admiralty, and met Captains Austin and Ommanney. Captain Austin remains in London, but Captain Ommanney left last night to return to his ships. The Resolute and h e r screw - tender, the Pioneer, Lieute nant-Commander Sherrard Oaborne, are off Yar mouth ; and the Assistance, Captain Ommanney, and her screw-tender, the Intrepid, are off Grimsby. The squadron are ordered to make the best of their way to Woolwich, the sailing ships hiring any steam power they can avail themselves of, The following letter from a correspondent in the squadron announces the arrival of the Resolute : " Off Yarmouth, Wednesday. " Again we are safe arrived from the dreary north, although unsuccessful in finding poor Sir John. I sup. pose you have received all the news and accounts of hew we passed the winter and spring. Since we saw Penny near Cape Hotham, Jones's Sound has been examined, and we have been further up then the Cary Islands, which is the highest latitude north that ships have reached for some years. The Intrepid was nearly lost off Wolstenholm Sound, but luckily got off after being on top of the ice for som e time. I have a fin e sket c h o f it. After her extrication we considered that nothing remained to bo done, so started for home. We have had a wonderful passage, having been little more than three weeks from Wolstenholm Sound, which we lost sight of on the 6th of last month.

Among those in wait ing to receive their friends was a young man of the name of Gillon, holding a situation of some responsibility in the office of Mr. Ballantyne, printer, who was among the pas sengers, and as the vessel, though due on Friday, did not make her appearance till after eight o'cl oc k on the night in question, the confusion which usually accompanies the de barkation of the passengers was consid era bl y i ncreased by the darkness which prevailed.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT Yachtsmen throughout the United Kingdom will be grat ifi ed to l earn that his Majesty the King of the Netherland s has been elected a member of the Royal Thames Yacht Cl u b. His desire to be admitted into this distinguished club was com municated recently by his Charge d'Affaires to Lord Alfred Paget, the gallant commodore of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, and at a very numerous meeting of the officers and members on Tue , day night last, his Majesty was elected by acclamation, succeeded by long and hearty cheering, in ap preciation of the honour conferred upon the club. EVENING, OCTOBIM 3 , 1851.. LIVERPOOL COUNTY COT - 711T. (Continued from the Liverpool Courier of Wedz feet)ay.) Sir G. Stephen replied that there was also. a pro tection due to the community. He could no t deny that his Honour had the power of committal in this case ; he knew that his Honour alone was to c r q!cide, and that in addressing him he was appealing from Caesar unto Caesar; but yet he contended that under the circumstances of this case, and under the strict construction of the Act, the defendant could not be committed. If the people found that his Houoilr's view of the law was correct, the people of England, instead of hailing the establishment of these cowls as a boon, would look upon them as a sidewirn I, by which they lost the liberty of the subject an d the freedom of the press, and that they would exel: " We asked for bread and you gave us a stop' e ; we asked for fish and you gave us a scorpion." Be con cluded by recapitulating his argument, observaig that he should blush for any son who saw his father in sulted, and his life endangered, as the defendant had done, and who would not rush forward (without con sidering much whether right or wrong) to the defence of that parent.—(Murmurs of applause.) Sir George Stephen, in the course of his remarks, observed that this case had excited intense interest in Liverpool, and a state of feeling which had never before been experienced. He had heard the opinion on 'Change, and he had seen respectable men in the public streets expressing their feeling ; and he repeated that the people of Liverpool regarded this question with4n tense interest. The Judge hoped the Learned Counsel would not libel the people of Liverpool, fur he could not call a vulgar mob by that term. Sir G. Stephen assured his Honour that it was no vulgar mob who accompanied Mr. Whitty to the rail way station on his way to Lancaster. The Judge—Mr. Whitty has, I have no doubt, many personal friends. Sir G. Stephen—Mr. Whitty has many friends, and this will gain him more. The Judge- - -I have nothing to do with the feeling of the people of Liverpool • I am only carrying out the provisions of the Act of Parliament. The Judge observed that there were two sections of the Act of Parliament, namely, the 113th and 114th, which applied to the charges against the de fendant; and, by the latter clause, it appeared that a bailiff was authorised to take into custody any man committing an offence under this Act at any time, and take him before the next Court to have him punished for the offence which he might have com mitted—by express order of the Act of Parliament —without warrant ; and that would lead to the con sideration as to whether the Legislature should have given a less power to the judge ; and it appeared to him that, if the bailiffs bad that power, from the reading of the 114th section, if it gave the power to the smallest officer of the court, at least the same power should be given to the judge. No thing could be more decisive upon the point as to whether the Legislature intended to give the judge such power. But it bad been said that a vast number of evils would result to the community. It was tax ing the common sense of any man to say that the community could be injured by the protection afforded by the Act. And, with all respect to the Learned Counsel, it was rather idle to say that it was dangerous to intrust such powers in the hands of the judge. It was urged the privilege of the subject would be injured in a case where the judge was com plainant, jury, and judge; but what was the fact ? That in this court, in which, in nineteen out of every twenty plaints which were entered there were no ad vocates and no jury, the judge had all the duties to perform. After giving a general description of the duties which he had to perform, his Honour con tinued—No man had a greater respect than he had for public opinion. No man, in that court or out of it, had a more keen perception of what were the privileges of the public. Sir George Ste phen had mentioned the topic of the judge as suming the office of accuser. Whatever might be said upon the subject he knew that the county courts were in great favour with the public ; and so far from their efficiency in Liverpool being suspected, he could mention, as a fact, that, at the assizes in Liverpool, instead of there being 180 causes at one assize, there were now at the last assize not more than 60 or 70 causes. He next alluded to the circuits of the judges of the superior courts, re marking that they generally resided in London ; and, exchanging their circuits, sometimes went through Wales, then other circuits, seldom going the same cir cuit twice over; but the county court judges went over the same district continually ; and here he (the Learned Judge) must observe he was fixed in one large town containing some hundred of thousands of inhabitants, and where his adverse judgments were given against parties resident in his own neighbour hood. Public opinion was, however, right in the long run, though, for a time, it sometimes went wrong. Hardly had there 1):-.en a good Act of Parliament passed but it bad been strenuously opposed by a por tion of the public. As an instance, he would only mention the Poor-law Amendment Act, against which there had been the most tremendous outcry raised ; but it turned out that a more wholesome statute had never been enacted, and none of the outcry against it was now heard. He recited some matters relating to the operation of the Poor-law Act. He then went through the evidence against the defendant, who, he admitted, was in a painful position ; but he denied that he was bound to follow his father, right or wrong. He then proceeded, at length, to give the reasons why the Legislature had given such large powers to the judges of the county courts: and observed that in the next session of Par liament he should feel it his duty to ask the Legis lature to give the judges still more extensive powers; and he would state a fact that had lately come under his own notice, without reference to the threat of assassination and anonymous letters which had been received by him lately. He bad been grossly in sulted, at his own lodgings, by a man who had been committed to Lancaster Castle for six months for seeking to rob a widow and orphan, the widow and orphan of a man of family, of talents, and of educa tion, who bad met his death by visiting—in the dis charge of his honourable, meritorious, and Christian like duties—the abodes of misery, disease, and of death. He caught the dreadful disease and died away from his family. That poor man caught the disease which produced death before he had the means of keeping his family independent of his future exertions, and because he (the Learned Judge) happened to lodge at the house of that lady, who had been com pelled for the sake of a honourable subsistence for herself and orphan son to let off a portion of her house, he had been subjected to the insults of the man who had tried to rob her. Talk about the powers of the judges being stringent, they were not half stringent enough. Now, with regard to Mr. Whitty, the elder, he had been chal lenged to take that man, and he had now lodged him in Lancaster Castle to undergo the punishment to which he had been sentenced. With regard to the defendant, the son, be could not agree with Sir G. Stephen, that he was bound at all risk to commit an assault on the officers ; and he must be taught that he could not do this with impunity, and that he, like all others, must not be guilty of an offence against the Court. And, besides this, other people must be taught that they must not insult the officers of the court. If he had only caught that party who had used insulting language to one of the officers, if he could only have caught him, he should have made him responsible for what he had said. His Honour, after having several times drawn attention to the consequences of com mitting the contempt of court, was rather discursive in his observations, remarking upon the absence of all sympathy on the part of respectable persons in the opposition and obstruction with which he had been met in the discharge of his duty, through his officers, and declared his fixed resolve to send any man who might publish any more libels upon him to Lancaster Castle. With regard to not having issued a warrant, it was entirely a matter of discre tion in his opinion, but he might probably ask the judgment of others on that matter; yet, had he thought the scribbling of a few lines on a piece of paper would have protected the bailiffs from the vio lence they suffered, he would certainly have written them. He would not have all this hallosing and howling in the town for nothing, and he must pre serve the dignity of the court. He imposed a fine against Mr. John Whitty of 2/. for insulting Hart ley, and 2/. for the same offence against Charnley, or be imprisoned for seven days in Lancaster. He also sentenced him to pay 2/. each as a penalty for ob structing them in the execution of their duty. There was no imprisonment added to the latter penalty, be cause he looked upon it as a debt recoverable by ac tion, and if not then paid the defendant would be liable to eighty days' imprisonment. If an action were brought by Joyce, the damages might or might not be laid at 50/. ; and he did not know that he should, if he tried the case, be justified in cutting the damages down. The defendant not paying the fine, it was ordered that the warrant be not enforced that night, as he had been in court all day. Sir G. Stephen said the defendant would be ready at one o'clock to-morrow. Th 3 Judge hoped there would be no more of the indecent exhibitions of yesterday, or otherwise be must take measures to have the man removed when the public would not be present. 'THE CASE OF THE POLICE•OFFICEE9. His Honour having made some observations, the purport of which was to convey an impression that Mr. Whitty had unworthily left the police force. Mr. I) owling requested permieaion to say a few words, in justice to Mr. Whitty. No gentleman was ever more highly esteemed than was Mr. Whitty and during the time he held the office of bead-con constable he discharged his duties to the satisfaction of every one ; and, on his retirement, he not only received the thanks of the magistrates, but was pre sented with a service of plate from the force over which he had for so long a period the control. kle. (Mr, Dowling) said this in justice to a person who was not present to answer for himself. The Judge said he was extremely glad to hear this, for he wished that justice should be done to all men, under any circumstances. Mr. Dowling then, in reference to the police-officers charged with the assault upon the bailiffs and false arrest, said, that from whathad fallen from the Learned Judge in the course of his remarks, it was not pro bable that the case would be taken against them, in asmuch as the act of arrest had been that of Mr. Whitty, and he alone was answerable. The Judge said the officers ought not certainly to have attended to that advice. Mr. Dowling submitted that, in this case, the plaintiffs had not been taken into custody, but had voluntarily gone to the police-office upon a request being made to them. The Judge said he thought he should be best con sulting the interests of the public by endeavouring to cement the good feeling which had, and which ever should exist, between the police-officers and the officers of that court. His Honour, after some further observations, s a id, t h at under all the circumstances, with the understanding that such an offence should not be again committed, he would not proceed further with the case against the officers, and the defendants were therefore discharged. The case of M r . J o h n W hitty commenced at half past nine o'clock, and did not terminate until half past five. (From the Liverpool Times of Thursday.) A meeting of highly respectable gentlemen was held this morning, for the purpose or arranging for the commencement of a subscription to pay the fires inflicted on Mr. Whitty and Mr. John Whitty by the judge of the County Court. We subjoin a copy of the formal minutes of the proceedings :- 4, A t a meeting of gentlemen interested in the great question of the liberty of the subject and the press, held on the 2d day of October, 1851, Samuel Elolme, Esq., in the chair. " It was moved by W. Brown, Esq., m . p ., and se conded by R. Gladstone, Esq., and resolved,— " That Messrs. W. Brown, S. Holme, Robertson Gladstone, W. Culshaw, J. R. Jeffrey, J. Holme, Manifold, T. Haigh, T. Urquhart, and T. Avison, be a committee, with power to add to their number, and that Mr. S. Holme, be the chairman of the committee. " Resolved unanimously,— " That subscriptions forthwith be raised to pay the fines imposed by the judge of the County Court on Mr. Whitty and his son, and to indemnify them ill reference to the proceedings already taken against them, and as to the ulterior proceedings which may be necessary to obtain compensation for the personal wrongs done to them, and in order, through them, to the maintenance of the liberty of the subject and the press." The following letter, to be addressed to the judge of the County Court from Mr. Lowndes, has been taken charge of by the committee : " 2d October. " Dear Sir,—Mr. Thomas Haigh and Mr. Jeffery wait upon you to pay the fines imposed on Mr. Whitty, sen., and Mr. Whitty, jun., several gentlemen having met and subscribed the requisite amount, and which they will not suffer Mr. Whitty or any of his family to pay. " Be good enough to give them the proper acknowledg ment, to enable them to procure the enlargement of Mr. Whitty, sen. " Yours truly " W. Statham, Esq.', Mr. J. R. Jeffery, Mr. T. Haigh, and other gen tlemen proceeded to the County Court at one o'clock, and, under protest, paid the fines for Mr. Whitty, amounting to 321. " W. D. LOWNDES. The foffowing warrant for his release was imme diately granted, addressed to the Governor of Lan caster Castle : " I do hereby certify that Mr. M. J. Whitty has paid the fintts, failing in payment of which he was committed to your custody. You are, therefore, hereby authorised to discharge him out of your custody, if detained for no other cause. " Given this 2d day of October, 1851. " By order of the Court, " WILLIAM STATHAM, Clerk." Mr. Whitty, jun., immediately proceeded by train to Lancaster with the above warrant, and Mr. Whitty will be forthwith released. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) At ten o'clock last night Mr. Whitty, senior, ar rived at Lime-street station from Lancaster Castle. The most intense excitement prevailed on the arrival of the train. Between 3,000 and 4,000 persons had assembled, and formed an avenue extending the whole length of the immense platform. A band of music was also in attendance. The cheering as the train emerged from the tunnel was loud and pro longed. Mr. Whitty passed through the avenue amid the moat hearty greetings. In Lime-street he made a short speech expressive of gratitude for his deliverance ; and it was not without difficulty that he was enabled to reach a cab and proceed homewards. The assembled multitude, after giving a parting sa lute to Mr. Whitty, marched past the County Court, where groans were given for the judge. Although the excitement was intense the greatest order was preserved. COURT CIRCULAR. B4L MORAL, WEDNESDAY. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert returned to Balmoral yesterday from the Shiel of Alt na Giuthsach. The Marchioness of Douro was in attendance on her Majesty. The Viscountess Canning arrived at Balmoral yesterday to relieve the Marchioness of Douro es Lady in 'Waiting to her Majesty. Earl Grey arrived at Balmoral yesterday. The Princess Royal and the Princess Alice visit( d her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent yesterthy at Abergeldie. 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. H. G. Liddell, J. L. Dampier, Esq., the Rev. Professor Powell, the Rev. G. H. S. Johnson, and the Rev. A. P. Stanley (secretary). The Chancellor of the Exchequer has left Garrowby House, Stamford Bridge, fur Hickleton Hall, near Doncaster. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather yesterday 64,298 persons visited the build ing, and the receipts amounted to 3,0801. 12s. 6d. Among other arrivals came thirty boys and twenty girls belonging to the Ragged-school, Pye-street, Westminster, who obtained admission by subscriptions from the benevolent. There were also eighteen old people from Bletehingley, whose expenses were de frayed by the rector and other gentlemen in the parish, and whose joint ages amounted to 1,141 years. Such facts, but the former especially, taken in con nexion with the daily incidents of a similar character, place beyond possibility of question the propriety of that decision which refused free admission to our charitable institutions. Had the numerous applica tions made upon this subject been acceded to, we should not have witnessed those delightful and grati fying efforts of private benevolence, the statistics of which, when collected at the close of the Exhibition, will furnish one of the most interesting and remark able features of the many connected with its diurnal history. We are happy to hear that numerous and va luable presents are being made by exhibitors to the Royal Commission for the formation of a permanent museum after the present display in Hyde-park has terminated. An opal of extraordinary beauty from Hungary has just been added to the Austrian collec tion by Messrs. J. Goldschmid and Son, of Vienna. BLOWING UP OF THE OCEAN MONARCH.—FOY some time a number of experienced divers have been en gaged on the wreck of this ill-fated vessel. It will be no doubt remembered, she was one of the Boston line of packet ships, 1,300 tons burden, and caught fire in a few hours after her departure for that port from Liverpool. No fewer than 170 (out of 399 emigrants who were on board) perished by the calamity, and the hull went, down in 70 feet of water in the Bay of Abergelly, on the Welch coast, about six miles from the land. There was on board of her a large general cargo, valued at 16 ,000/., a great quantity of which the divers have succeeded in saving, and there is no doubt but that the whole will be got up. It is the intention then of blowing up the wreck on the same principle as was pursued on the occasion of the removal of that of the Royal George at Spithead some few years since by the Sappers and Miners, under General Pasley. ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. —At the monthly general meeting, held yesterday at the society's house in Hanover-square, Mr. J. E. Gray, vice-president, in the chair, Professor E. Forbes and Mr. W. 0. Lamond were elected fellows; and the Rev. B. Winthrop, Mr. F. J. Bladon, and Mr. it W. Crawford, proposed as candidates for the fellow ship. The report of the council stated that several interest ing animals had beenliadded to the menagerie, and that a new building was in progress for the reception of the Elands bequeathed by the late Earl of Derby.

STATE or TRADE, MANCHESTER, OCT. 2.—The continued depressio n w hi c h our mar k e t ev i nces seems to be Owing in some measure to the tidings received from London yesterday, which speak of failures, and the unfavourable ad vices from India. These supervening upon the previous weik state of things has led to :lower prices being taken to-day, but without in any degree increasing the amount of business. A. general gloom hangs over the market, but the position d the producers does not yet seem to warrant the tone of de spondency which some of them adopt. On Friday, a boat with five men went out from Morrison's Haven, Prestonpans. They bad not proceeded far from the shore when the boat swamped, and the men were thrown into the sea. One of them named Deans, was carried out to sea, and up to Saturday morning his body had not been found; another, named Robert Brown, was also drowned. The other three were .rescued and are likely to recover.— Scotsman. W ~
