Spencer's Travels in European Turkey is noticed in an excellent article, headed " Turkey, its Defences 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 Grace of Othman number, but from 700,000 to 800,000, the writer offers the following interesting remark : " The gradual but certain diminution in the race of Othman 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 be for the preservation of the Turkish empire, that it is nearly impossible for a nationality so week in numerical: force, so indo lent, end 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 Roy al 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 eppear to be tremendous. The abomi nable dress and equipments, as at present existing, of the British infantry soldier are again properly on the tapis. The shako, alias "Father of a Pot ;" the stiff dog-collar machine of a stock ; the coarse, scanty, brick-dust coloured coatee, patched over with white tape, like scarlet fever combined with leprosy ; the unsightly " lavenders;" the superabundance of heavy, pipe-clayed belts; the awkward disposition cf 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 false 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 coun try, 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 honourable pride in his profession, as we should scorn to treat a dog. The soldier is to be raised, elevated—not degraded; and though punishments are unfortunately indispensable, they should be made 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." 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 Iceuk of Fife" (a capital tale of the duello), "London dur ing the Summer of 1851," evidently from the pen of Mr. Calcraft, " Glasgow in 1851," 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. GEATLEMAIV'S. Sylvanus Urban is, as usual, full of antique 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 with foggy Novem ber. It gives an account of old Dalton's funeral and Nelly's Tyrol journey, accompanied by Hans& and Andy. The scene then shifts to Florence—to other 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 rece i ve d th e guests in the drawing-room with her accustomed kindness and cordiality. Dancing commenced at ten o'cleck to the music of a splendid orchestra, and was kept up with unflag ging spirit until midnight, when a superb supp er was serve d 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 Gcneral 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 M r. Henry We e k es were duly elected associate s of that institut i on. Kossunt —Last evening another meeting of gen tlemen from the various metropolitan boroughs was held at Mr. Saunders's, Charing-cross, for the purpose of reiving the report of the deputation appointed to wait upon E ec lossuth, to learn his pleasure as to the time and place of receiving th e 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 t h e committee having been explained to him, he at once c oincided in their views, and consented to receive the addresses from the metropolitan boroughs, which are to be presentid on Thursday week,. at the Hanover-square Rooms, which will be the last occasion the illustrious Hungarian will address t he En g lish p eo p le. It was inti ma t e d t o the illustrious exile that as 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 C OLLIERY E XPLOSION AT K I LLINGIVOH On Saturday morn i ng another of t h e unfortunate sufferers Colliery, by the explo s i on w h ich took place at W es t Moor Killingwortb, on the p rev i ous d ay, di e d from the effects of the injuries he h a d rece i ved; it was a b oy o f the n T ame of Gordon.

On Monday afternoon an inquest was held in the School-room, Killingworth, before the Coroner, Mr. Stephen Reed, upon the body of William Simpson, who died from injuries received from an explosion at this colliery on Thursday, the 23d ult. Mr. Matthias Dunn, the Government inspector of mines, and Mr. N. Wood, one of the owners, were in attendance. After several witaesies had heen examined, the jury returned a verdict of "Acci dental death." THE FROME MURDER. Yesterd ay Daggs, Hurd, Sargeant, and Sparrow, the f our men charged with the vio lation and murder of Sarah W a t ts, at West Woodlands , were brought b e f o re th e magistrates fur re. examination. A good deal o f ev id ence was prodmced, and the result was that Maggs, Hurd, and Sparro w were fully coramitVd for trial, and §argeeat T ra 4 diclaarged. LONDON, COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 4.

Her Majesty the Queen, the Sovereign of the Order, wore the mantle and collar, and 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 is as held. The Knights Companions 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 be filled. The Right lion. Charles William Earl Fitzwilliam was introduced between Garter King-of-Arms and 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. Earl Fitzwilliam knelt near the Queen, and Garter King of-Arms, on hisknee, presentin g th e darter,:her Majesty, assisted by his Royal Highness the Prince Albert and the Duke of Wellington, the two Senior Knights Com panions present, buckled it on his Lordship's left leg, the Chancellor pronouncing the usual admonition. Garter King-of-Arms presentieg in like manner the Riband and George, the Queen, assisted by Prince Albert and the Duke of Wellington, passed the same over the Noble Earl's left shoulder, the Chancellor pro nouncing the admonition.

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, And o'er yon 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 genhil 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 flight. 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, for aye— To every woe 'twould some kind solace lend, And gild with sunshine fate's moat cloudy day. Could I with thee, amid the gloomy of life, With gentle voice all meekly tuned to love, Regardless whether 'tis through calm or strife, Chant hymns of praise to holy ears above! Could I but learn the bright serenity That bids thee warble through the discord round— Could I but taste 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 !lies Athwart the lattice with unbruitatd wing— By colours kindling in the western skies— 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, Hath 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, Whoso fresh, bright lips with dewy murmurs weave A slumbrous chanting through the tw night hours. Sing on, sing on! thou dauntless soul of love! Already dawns the guerdon of thy faith— Peace, bliss, and beauty—while the mystic dove Her 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 Theo in thy mirth, and I am left to pine! So will I close 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 for each coming ill. -- THE GREAT EXHIBITION.—The Commissioner for the Grand Duchy of }lesse 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 as 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 case it will doubtlessly be made known torthwith. 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 bodies 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 j ur y returned a verdict to the effect that the child was murdered by the mother, and that Mary Ann Blakeman committed ouicide while in a state of temporary WEDNESDAY EVENING, ST. 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, the 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 farmer 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 inSovereign 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 Conservative 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 examieed—Had not had returned to him any of the money he had given as " head money" at the last election, nor bad any persons made application to him to be allowed to return the money, beyond one of the name of Saunders, nor had I 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. He promised a situation, but there was no men tion of a Government situation. 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 Coppock's, in Parliament-street, and received three " packet," containing gold. Mr. James Coppock was then called, sworn, and ex amined—Was a solicitor and Parliamentary agent, No. 40, Parliament-street. Prior to coming 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 he (Mr. Coppock) was examined at St. Alban's, he should wish to know whether there was any, and if any, what part of hie 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 be violated by an ex 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 infurmation as to how the inquiry was going on, and the day after Edwards had been examined he (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-2,5001. 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 bad 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 St. Alban's, and when he first knew Mr. Bell. A friend of Mr. Bell's and of witness called 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," an 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 know 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 make more extraordinary disclosures than that of Mr. Edwards himself.—(Loud applause, and cries of " Order.") He did not make that state ment for applause; bat he stated it to show the system, and no man in the kingdom had a greater horror of the system than he had. When the vacancy oc curred, and Mr. Bell was anxious to get into Par -w h d o i —did s witness friend was, know and of wh a at vra n r ae his position Witness Par liament, a Mr. Th or by, an old friend of w i tness , s aid he bad a friend wh o was anx i ous to get into P ar li amen t cir cumstances, and if he w as w h at was ca ll e d " a produce able man"—(L aug h ter )—i f he was an orator . Mr. vee and Thorby replied, " Oh, yes, I will give you the informa tion, but I only w an t 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 any but one side, and never would be. Witness took time to consider, and Thorby returned in three week s , and gave the name of Mr. Bell. Witne ss requested Mr. Bell 10 call on him. Mr. Bell did so, and made a memorandum of his name in his pocket-book, having made inquiries as to Mr. Bell's politics, and as to the expense he would be wil ling to incur, because it was absolutely necessary to know the depth of a Member of Parliament's pocket, as well as the nature of his p o lities. —(Laughter.) Witness inquired th e amount of m oney he (Mr. Bell) wuuld be willing to' expend. Mr. Bell told witness that his only object in getting into Parliament was to promote some views relative to the medical profession, which for years he bad laboured to bring forward, and he thought he could better carry them out by ob taining a seat in Parliament. Mr. Bell stated that he had no ambitious views —that be asked for nothing— that money was not to be an object that he should not mind a proper expenditure. Witness asked him what he would expend, and when asked, in 'reply, what would be sufficient, said from 1,5001. 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. ataphael's death wit ness negotiated with parties at St, ,Alban's' and amongst the number with Mr. Edward s , and 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 three different channels, and by three parties connected with the borough, each of them anxious to promote a oindidate, and witness had peculiar means for knowing the movements of all three, and it was in this way he heard that with Sir IL Carden 1,5001. was the limit, and that he did not like 2,sool.—(Laughter.) The third party in the borough made every effort to get a candidate simply for the sake of the expenditure, ss of principle or politics.—(Hear.) I and utterly regardle the case at St Alban's for This sort of thing had b een the last one hundred years. The principle of " bleed j and bribe" had always been the ruling principle. There in St. 's who knew were some respectable men tem, but the great Alban majority of the nothing of that sys voters had always been s.

Wit any borough for w ness sever had anything to do with the arrangement or and derived no advantage or disposition of the money , /.went that in benefit, except a political one. The 2,500 and notorious that S t . Al way, and it was well known 501_. Witness's bill, on th e occasion of the petition ban's was to be bought and to the House, and Co mm it tee of Inquiry, was 1 , 0001 o f which Mr. Bell had paid. The witness was all then questioned at consider a bl e um with reference to th e as length by the Commi sertion of Edwards on ssioe pre vious occasion, as t o th e kof an appointment or situation, promise, by Coppoc Provided he carried out the election successfully, and in good faith. He denied ever ha vin g p romised an y Go vernment situation, or an y past, office, or appointment of any kind, though ho admitted that he had procured posts, offices, an d a ppointments under Government, and OD railways, by recommendation, or in his own offices, for other persons on other occasions; ha d exerted him self to obtain places for peo ple under Government who had exerted themselves in elections in which he had been engaged; and had exerted himself to serve those who had served him. When the money came to his office for Edwards he had no instructions as to how it was to be of what was going on in St. employed. Was aware Alban's; but did not know that the money was to be em ployed in bribery. Though he (witness) had been secre tary to the Worm Amoiatiou, whi ch "(willow defueot, it had nothing to do with the Reform Club, nor had the Reform Club anything whatever to do with the St. Alban's election. When the vacancy in St. Alban's occurred, the parties came up from St. Alban's and searched the law courts and other places fora candidate, asking them what they could afford to spend. There was nothing to be done in St. Aiban's without "head money." When the present Sir H. G. Ward some years ago stood for Si; Alban's, it cost him 2,4001., but when he went to Shef field, a town with a constituency of some thousands, Sir Henry Ward wrote to witness to say that his total electioneering expenses only cost him 1501.—(Loud laughter)—and he thanked Mr. Coppock for sending him there from St. Alban's. The expense of the last election for St. Alban's might have been done for 2001, including hustingc, clerks, &c., and that would leave 501. for the manager of the election. " You cannot," said the witness, emph.tically, "prevent this species of expenditure, until you allow the ballot, which would be the only preventive against bribery."—(Loud applmue.) In his mind, measures of this kind could come to no result. Mr. COMMiaioll.os SLADE—We cannot go into that. Many people have different opinions. There are many people who think that the ballot would increase bribery very much, sad I am one of those.—(Laughter.) Witness—But until Parliament does someEhing more than attempt to put down bribery by punishing a single borough, they never will effect it.—(Applause.) Mr. Commissioner PHINN—But we must go by steps. Witness—They are very slow oncs. Mr. Edwards was then recalled, and questioned as to the inducement hold out by Mr. Coppock to his exerting him,ell to procure Mr. Bell's return, and adhered with out deviation to his first assertion, that Mr. Coppock had pronai,7ed him a situation. Messrs. Hay ward and Debenham were then called and examined, but nothing materially interesting elicited. Mr. Low, the local agent for Sir Robert Carden, was also called and examined at Lome length, and deposed to having paid various persons (specifying them by name) in the borough, sums varying trona 101. to 201. or 301., for active services in the election, and for efforts to pro mote Sir R. Carden's return. The Conservatives of the town, as far as he knew, were as open to bribery as the Liberals.—(Laughter.) He had paid 650/. for conduct ing Sir R. Carden's election. Some of these individuals had not the opportunity at the last election of voting for the " purity side." The voters were paid by the Carden party according to their station in life, but could not say that the veto formed an element in the payment.— (Laughter.) Did not employ any one who was not a voter—or any one who voted against him.—(Laughter.) After some further evidence, the Court adjourned to this day, when Mr. Bing, the town clerk, is to be ex amined. NOVEMBER 5, lB5l. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The Swedish frigate Eu genie, 40, Captain Virgin, and corvette Pagerbjelke, 16, Captain Englehart, fired a salute of 21 guns each to day at twelve o'clock, in honour of the anniversary of the union of Sweden and Norway. At 330 this after noon they got under weigh, and left Spithead in pursuit of their respective missions, the former to circumnavi gate the globe, vnd the latter to perform service at Rio de Janeiro. The Sirnoom iron steam-frigate is ordered into the Sidon dock to have the improved cooking galley fitted to her, and otherwise to be prepared for commission. The Blenheim, 60, screw gusrdship of the steam squadron, Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 13., will go out of harbour tomorrow, and Drove her machinery, &c., at the measured mile in Stoke'S Bay. The Fairy royal steam-yacht v. ill be out of the hands of the engineers on Saturday, and out of dock on Mon day, further coated with the anti-corrosive preparations of Messrs. Peacock and Buchan, cf Southampton, and Mr..llay, of this port, to test again their relative pro parties. The Rolla, 6, naval apprentices' instruction brig, Com mander Fenwiek, has come alongside her hulk to lay up for the winter. Corpus al punishment was inflicted on board the iron steam troopship Bit kenhead, Master -Commander Sa!mond, this, morning, in harbour, on ono of the, sea men, for attempting to stab the sergeant of marines, and others of the same ship, wh o were or d ered to place him in irons for breaking his leave and drunkenness. no was sentenced to receive " tour dozen," and then be turned out of the service with a blank discharge. WOOLWICH, Nov. 4.—Captain Hugh Dunlop (1850), having finished a course of study of steam at the tac• tory at Woolwich dockyard, was examined by M r . engineer, on Friday and Saturday la s t, asA Atherton, rhie n , chief knowledge of the working of marine steam engines, and his examination having been satisfactory, ho received his certificate on Saturday. 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 suppliedthe extent their resources warrant. Austria and France indicate respectfully an annual want of about 8,000,0001, 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 the scheme for the Lyons and Avignon line, which is to be one of the earliest measures before the Assembly, will fail to derive any support from this side. Thus, while enterprise 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 th© 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 past 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 nesrer adjustment of the rates, was so long delayed. A knowledge of the way in which our partnership law operates to discourage individual enter prise and to dam up capital till it breaks all bounds in a sympathetic mania is sufficient, however, to explain the anomaly. There is no reason why tho rewards of en terprise should not be almost as great in this coantry as in America, and they would become so if capital were equally free. That the undertakings 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 the fact of the rate of money during the whole time having ranged 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. The thing to be de sired, however, is that enterprise 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 openings in the United States in which English capital might, in moderate supplies, be constantly employed, and still more numerous are 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, since it corrupts the one and en rages the other by all the consequent lose. Whether this result, which was witnessed in 1839, is again to be seen a few years hence must, therefore, very much depend upon the course of legislation meanwhile; but if such should be the case, it is to be hoped, when we experiene its inconveniences, we shall be sufficiently jest to bear in mind that the reproach at our own doors will be heavier than any we can be entitled to throw elsewhere.— Times' City Article. TIZE "TIMES" AND ITS REPORTS. (From th© Morning Post) The Times, in its impression of yesterday, thus ex presses itself:— " These speeches (Kossuth's) have been carefully pre pared, adroitly modelled, and fluently delivered, and they have received, in our columns exclusively, the serviceable honour of being fully reported." We need not here take the trouble to demonstrate how much we love the Times, but, whatever be the amount of our affection for that journal, it is very necessary for us to show to the public that we love truth more. The speeches delivered by M. Kossuth, which alone deserve the laudatory epithets of our contemporary, are those which he addressed to the friends of the Mayor of South ampton, at Winchester, on Saturday, the 25th Oct.; to the company assembled at the Southampton banquet, on Tuesday, the 28th Oct.; to the Corporation of London, in their Guildhall, on Thursday, the 30th _Oct.; and to the working classes of the metropolis, at Copenhagen House, on Monday, the 3d of this month. Of these speeches, respectively, reports were given in the Morning Post as well as in the Times, of October the 27th, 29th, and 31st, and No vember the 4th; and if our readers will bestow ten minutes on a reference to both papers of the dates we have mentioned, they will bo able to see for themselves in which of the two M. Kossuth " received the service able honour of being fully reported." They will find that, on the first occasion— The Times gave... 54 Cols.

PLUNDER OF THE BRIG VIOLET, OF WISBEACII, BY PIRATES-CAPTIVITY OF HER CREW AMONG THE MOORS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) In the shipping intelligence of yesterday it was re ported that the Violet brigantine, from Galatz to Queenstown, supposed to be laden with a cargo of Indian corn, 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 detained with the rest of the crew a prisoner for ransom by the Moors, and that the brigantine and her cargo were de stroyed by the pirates owing to a quarrel respecting the partition of the plunder. This ill-fated ship belongs to tho 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, has most unfortunately accompanied his ship on this voyage. Mr. Cross joined the Violet at Glasgow, in April, and chartered her with coals and iron from the Clyde to Malaga, and to proceed from thence to Galata for grain for the United Kingdom. The Violet reached Galata on the Gth of August, and sailed with a cargo of Indian corn for Queenstown on the 12th. She made Constantinople on the 28th, and a letter was received from Mr. Cross stating the expected to reach Queenstown ia six weeks. Latterly much anxiety , has been felt respecting the Violet, as she was a re markably fast sailer, and American built, and also from the fact of several vessels, which left Galatz later than her having arrived at Queenstown. By the steam-ship Montrose, advices have reached Southampton respecting reprisals having been made by tha Janus upon the 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 British subjects are held as captives by the Bedouins, who demand 100 piastres ransom for them. These five parties are, most probably, Mr. Cross, Captain Layton, the master of the Violet, and the survivors of the crew. As mention is made that one man was killed and the master wounded, great anxiety is felt by Mr. Samuel Massey Cross, of the Horseshoe steam-mills, Wisbeach, as to the fate of his brother, especially as mention is made of only five British subjects being 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 Marseilles, but this atrocity committed upon the Violet far exceeds that upon the French wreck. The Violet is only partially insured. FURTHER INTELLIGENCE. Mr. Drummond Hay, the Charge d'Affaires at Tan gier, has made 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 sth of October, and 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 wLich 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 cf pirates, so that our ships may navigate the Mediterranean without hindrance. We take 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, not dangerously. Mr. Painter, shot through both thighs, slightly. John Ford, boatswain's mate, leg shattered, dan gerously. J. Reading, seaman, leg 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. Tho 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 might be made known to the Emperor. The mishap to the Janus will probably be shortly fol lowed by a more effective demonstration against the pirates. The Gcvernor 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. Is was also understood that reparation would be 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 de la Mer 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 struck 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 oar 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 making 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 became 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 one 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.M. we were all ten on board the smack. Wo cannot sufficiently thank them for the affable manner in which they received us, these brave men offering us their clothes and giving us food. The smack is called the Aurora's Increase, of Harwich, Lewis, master, without whose assistance we should inevitably have perished ; and not only did these men risk their lives, but the crew of the Tryal joined them in their endeavour to save us. At 8.30 Pat., the smack arrived at Harwich, and placed us under the cargeivoifngMur.a Oliver John Williams, consular agent f or F rance, who provided us with board, lodging, c l o th es, the following afternoon a free pass to London from the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Marin_ 01111219, with aers: o S y o ts c g i e e ty f r to in order to see the Consul-Gen era l , w h o will forward u ' s our respective hom es .

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES. The annual autumn meeting came off yesterday, and more favourably than the wintry and 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 point, are unpleasant accompaniments of a race-meeting in any ideality, and they are dcubly so on so exposed a spot as Epsom Downs. It is not surprising, therefore. that the gathering was wanting in everything essential to pecuniary success. There were not a dozen 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 bis 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 le,ld at all to fix them at no earlier period. There might, probably, bo fewer horses, but assuredly they would draw a larger and a Letter class of company teen we saw yesterday. In pro nouncing the meeting, a failure, we refer only to the at tendar.e,. As far es success eepanded on the sport, it could not have been more compiete; 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 wzre large, and speculation moderately brisk; it com- usenced with The Paddock Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 25 added, three yrs old, 7st 91b; four, Bst 71b; five end upwards, Bst 101 b; winners extra; mares and geldings allowed 3 ih.
