An immense demand has been already made for tickets, the price of which has been fixed ex tremely low (balf. a-crown , we believe), in order that working men may be able to do honour to the occa sion. At the same time it is intended to divest it of ;,Ireal 1 party character, and to show that such is their intention, as well as from a sincere wish for a hearty union of the classes upon such an occasion, the Com mittee have invited leading men of the different par ties to become their guests, including amongst En glishrnim—Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Cobden, Mr. Ernest Jones, Mr. W. J. Fox, and. Mr. Charles Gilpin ; and, amongst foreigners, Ledru Rollin, Louis Blanc, Joseph Mazzini, Arnold Ruge, and Ferdinand Freiligrath, the celebrated German patriotic poet. 7HE POLIM-1 A ND HUNGARIAN BALL tI.AD CONCERT IN GUILDHALL. On Saturday the Committee of the Polish and Hungarian Ball and Cone rt assembled ;n one of the committee-rooms of the Guildalq Mr. Deputy Holt in the'chair. There were prevent—Alr. R. G. M'Donnell, Mr. Goldstni'h, Mr. Reed, the Read, Mr. George Walter, Mr. Deputy Britten, Mr. Lister, Mr. Hardy, &c. The CHAIRMAN handed in a list of distinguished persons who had consented to patronise the charity, and congratulated the meeting upon the promise of a most lucrative night on the occasion of the splendid e ntertainment, which it was intended should equal in every respect soy of the memorable efforts made in the Guilohall in aid of the distressd. In the lint which will imme d i atel y appear in advertisements, crowded with the names of persons of rank and sta tion, will he those of Lord and Lady John Russell, Lord and Lady Palmeiston, Lord and Lady Beau mont, Lord and Lady Beauchamp, the Earl and C oun e tess of Harrowby, &c. &c. Already many applications have been made to the committee for tickets to the hall. The announcement that the departure of Kossuth for America had been postponed in order to afford him the gratifying oppor tunity of being present on the night of Thursday, the 13th inst., wilt, it is calculated, produce so extensive a sale of tickets, that the committee will find it neces cessary to make such arrangements as may counteract the jobbing which often takes place when any re markable attraction is expected. Upon the motion of Mr. M`DoNNELL, seconded by Mr. READ, it was unanimously a g reed, " that the net proc eeds of the intended Polish and Hungarian Ball and Concert be handed over by the committee to the President of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, to be distributed in suCh proportions, and in such mode, as may be resolved on by the committee of that association." Copies of placards were produced announcing the night of the entertainment, and con t a ining a the f hol s lowing paragraph :—" M. Kossuth delayed i departure to America to enable him to be present on the occasion." The tickets are to be sold at the old prices. At the next meeting the names of the concert vocal and instrumental performers will be mentioned, as well as several matters of additional interest. •••••11.M .-- NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PROMOTIONS.

LONDON, MON DA V EVEN ING, NOVEMBER 3, 1851. LITERATURE. POEMS. By Elizabeth Barrett Browning. New Edition. 2 Vols. Chapman and Hall. Companion volumes to the collected and corrected edition of the writings of her husband, Robert Brownieg, the present reprint of the poems of Eliza beth Barrett will be eagerly welcomed by that nu merous circletwith the members of which our authoress has long been a familiar and cherished favourite. It is always interesting to observe the nature of ernen (Wiens such as those which are here perceptible to the observant reader. The comparison of the first issue of a work with its latest republication affords a fruitful theme tQ the psychologist, while it enables the critic to appreciate anything at all approximating to intellectual development. Therefore it is that we always experience a peculiar pleasure in scrutinizing any really valuable composition, whether prose or poetic, which after the lapse of years has been care fully collated by the writer—recognizieg, as we can not fail to do from the singularity of the various evidences of revision, the precise tendency of what ever mental change may have been wrought by medi tation or experience. From circumstances related of our different poets by their respective biographers, may in this manner be obtained a more accurate notion of their powers than could possibly be acquired without some such suggestive assistance. In the in stance of Akenside we find manifested a dissatisfac tion with his earlier impressions so remarkable, that he is ultimately induced to adventure upon an entirely new version of the "Pleasures of Imagination. Shelley, again, advanced to such lengths of com punction as to buy up all the copies of " Queen Mab" he could possibly discover, expressing a regret at its existence while so doing, and speaking of it to his intimates as a youthful indiscretion. Byron be trays a similar feeling of regret in reference to his " English Bards and Scotch Reviewers." Moore sedulously avoids all claim to the authorship of the amorous ditties of Little. Thomson at the close of each year collects together his manuscript verses and destroys them, either by burning or by tearing them to pieces, according to the rigorous course subse quently pursued immediately before his suicide •by the marvellous and immortal Chatterton. If the earliest and the latest editions of the poems of Ten nyson, moreover, be contrasted, it will be at once perceived how careful and numerous have been his erasures and his interpolations. There are no lines to "the skipping rope, for example, to be detec ted n ow among those exquisite effusions. Countless tes timonies of a like kind might be adduced from the literary annals of our country, showing the anxiety and the readiness with which our most delightful writers have arrived at the perfecting of their compo sitions. Pope was correcting and recorrecting his verses up to the day almost of his dissolution ; and Leigh Hunt, with all his dislike to rewritten peoms, did not disdain to alter several passages in his " Story of Rimini" at the time Mr. Moxon determined upon its cheap republication. Very few could afford, like Abraham Cowley, to leave even the metrical out pourings of their childhood without at least some minute modification. Rather than this, with the majority we should be disposed to repeat that advice which may be met with in Beswell's Johnson—" Sir, whenever you meet in your manuscripts with any passage which you imagine to be particularly fine, strike it out." Bowing to the dictates of prudence, Mrs. Barrett Browning has consented here and there to emend several of her very charming compositions, and the result is agreeably manifested by the merits of her present republication. To a very considerable extent her popularity seems by this time to be este bliihed—and this too in defiance of such extrava gances as her " Casa Guidi Windows," extravagances the mingled inanity and grotesqueness of which must assuredly have marred any less secure reputation. She has assumed a high position among the poetesses of England, and in some respects may be said to stand at this moment in the foremost rank as the bead of that department of our literature. The passionate energy of Joanna Baillie, the gentleness and sweet ness of Felicia Henians, the pathetic intensity of Caroline Bowles, the brilliant imaginings of Letitia Landon, the elegance of Mary Mitford, the simplicity of Mary Howitt, the mingled splendour and anima tion of Caroline Norton—are qualities which have severally achieved for their possessors a success in many ways most remarkable. Yet, distinguished as are the merits of those female writers, they are to our thinking surpassed in many respects by the very noble and peculiar powers of Elizabeth Barrett. It is true, no doubt, that her faincies are frequently blurred by the haze of her vague and mystic vocabu lary, while her style is often wholly inartistic, besides being crowded with the most fantastic and detestable affectations. Insomuch are these things visible throughout, that it was once observed of. her by the late lamented Mr. Moir, "the only faculty imperfectly cultivated is her taste," adding " for her want of ear seems a natural and incurable defect." The accusa tion is eery far indeed from being unmerited, for even in the new edition now before us, an edition in which we might reasonably expect to find blemishes of this character revised or obliterated, we still dis cover them scattered in profusion through the pages, marring some of the most exquisite passages and de teriorating merits which would otherwise be alto gether incontestable. Agreeing with Delta in the above objection to the very uttermost, we neverthe less cannot by any means accept as accurate his asser tion that Airs. Browning "has never given us, even for once, anything that can , be regarded as either a finished portrait or picture." Assuredly the fallacy of this remark might tie readily evidenced by examples culled in abundance from the two charming volumes here submitted to our consideration. "Lady Geral dine's Courtship," for example, may be characterised with perfect correctness as presenting "a finished picture" to the reader's imagination, " a finished por trait" being sufficiently discoverable in the person of the lowly born poet, who is at once the hero and the narrator. It is no small testimo appearse excellence of this very lovely poem that itto have fur nished a hint, both in regard to peculiarity of rhythm and splendour of colouring, to poor Edgar Poe, h i y n his extraordinary phantasy "The Raven." There seems to us a certain co mpanionship in the eautiei and her of Mrs. Browning's " Lady husband's " Colombe's Birthday -" both tell with a very exquisite delicacy a tale of lowly love for a highborn lady, yet in the manner of the narratien no two can bore t be a sweeter more finished picture a than " Bertha in the Lane," or than that favourite with the poetess, " Catarina ,to Ca • moens ?

It is scarcelossible to read it t h ro ugh " thiukingly" without tears in the voice. In the very cadence of its measure and then recurrence of its rhymes it sounds as plaintively a war ' beginning " Little Elie s of the Swan's Nest, lings of an eiilian harp. , So also with " .The Romancits e alone." A gloomy, d i mness hangs over the " Lay of the Brown Rosary so thickly as materially to detract from it s excellence. Not so, however, with the an old, old story, a story as ol d as the " R orn aunt of the Page, " w hich, though b ased u p on very hills, our authoress has invested with an air bof novelty by the g races of her phraseology and t reanimating influence of her most unquestionable an doetic are the were themes g enius.

Among " the Browning's voice comes to us in tones faultlessly larger poems in the colleeted writings of our authoress, we doubt if any will be come more generally popular than " The Vision of Poets" and "The Seraphim. At the close of " The Drama of Exile" occurs one of the most sin gular tokens of that refined and subtle fancy which is among the more prominent peculiarities of the mind of this distinguished writer T, he stars the noteshine appeon brightly nded to the choeus of the angels :—" while Adam and Eve pursue their way into the far wilderness; there is a sound through the silence, as of the felling tears of an angel." To the unpoetic temperament those words would be either foolish or fathomless. To an appreciative reader they will ap pear, we conceive, otherwise. Further comments upon effusions already so familiar to a considerable portion of the intelligent community were superfluous under the circumstances.

A Story of Real Life. There is something original about this work in de sign and execution. It is the description of the per sonages of an ancient Scottish family, whose history is singularly unfortunate and romantic. The heroine, Grace, is driven out from her home, and has to reside with unfeeling relations in England. A change comes, and she returns to her native land, to more congenial spirits. But even there misunderstandings arise, and s he is compelled to quit her residence. Mystery and sorrow seem her inseparable companions, for Captain Arreytege. to whom she is engaged, is under very painful impressions concerning his family. Sul:re quently the inheritors of splendid fortunes, and the representatives of noble houses, they depart almost fr i en dless for India, •to endure the priva tions end changes of en arduous cam paign. During their absence retribution overtakes t h e ir enemies. The scenes which succeed are very powerfully delineated, aed while they depart from the ordinary routine of a romance of the present day, some thing of a purer and a higher style seems infused into their details. The greatest mistake in t he narrative is the part relating to Katherine Livingstone, her co_ nd uot, is extremely . Wmattirtil. Lady Daventry's career is painful, but such characters seem - great favourites with all novel writers, a cir constanca much to be regretted. However, these minor adventures are cast into the shade before the brightness of the prominent figures; deprived of every adventitious advantage, they are shown brilliant with their intrinsic worth, and conspicuous by their native greatness. The feelings which command respect produce an impression higher than ordinary amuse- ment, and more lasting than a mere admiration. MARIAN WITHERS. By Miss Jewsbury. Co lburn. The scene of this tale is laid in the menufacturing districts. John Withers, the father of the heroine, and one of the chief characters in the book, has risen from the lowest class, and his success in life is entirely owing to his own energy and talents. He has sent his daughter to a superior school, desirous that she should enjoy those advantages of education of which he has himself been deprived. While there she has formed a friendship with a young lady; who, at the opening of the story, has invited ber to pass a week with her married sister, Mrs. An. This lady, although we are repeatedly told that her character is naturally good, is not very prepossessing, as her con duct is ►mercenary in the extreme. Having married a rich Dutch merchant for his money, she is very desirous that her sister Hilda should accept a Mr. Glynton, for whom she entertains an intense dislike. While at the house of Mrs. Arl Marian meets that lady's cousin, a selfish and contemptible character. To him she unfortunately becomes much attached, and on her return feels painfully the diffe rence of station and the deficiencies of her home and friends. While very much disswisfied, and ill performing her 'duties, she forms, the acquaint ance of Mr. Cunningham, a middle-aged gentle man, who is desirous of exploring the manu factures. After a = series of adventures she be comes convinced of the worthlessness of Albert, her former favourite, and becohies the wife of Mr. Cun ningham. Such is the substance of the tale, which, though simple in the extreme, is nevertheless full of sentiment and interest. The character of Marian is very natural, and in this is the chief charm of the work. Nothing is improbable or extravagant. John Withers himself, with his untiring energy, his inde fatigable perseverance, anehis genius for invention, is a striking character. The others are also well drawn. The' honest:Mr. Wilcox, who is so careful of the interests of his dependents, and the charming Aunt Alice, 'are perhaps the most pleasing. The episode of Albert and Lady Wollaston is not very attractive, though highly romantic, and the absurd conduct of Clarissa is scarcely probable. However, the tale is interesting, and 'well worthy of perusal. KHARTOUM, AiVD THE' BLUE AND WRITE NILES.) By George Melly. This work, although but a transcript from a journal kept by the author during his wanderings through Egypt and Nubia, -on his ascent of the Nile to the juncture of the Blue and White Niles at Khartoum, which is above the sixth cataract, is very interesting, and being of such recent date cannot fail to impart fresh information respecting the reception and treat ment of future tourists in Egypt and Nubia. And the fact that the author was accompanied by his family, two of whom were ladies, who were the first European women that ever penetrated the desert as far Khartoum, cannot but add interest to the work. Without wearying the ready with a prolix description of uninteresting matters, he gives a rapid and amusing account of his adventures from Alexandria to Khar toum. He remarks, with just indignation, on the unenviable propensity that the English possess of cutting their names on all the works of art to which they have access; and regrets to see ancient columns and statues defaced by numerous Smiths and Browns scratched three feet long upon them. This is, alas too truly a national vice, and its effects may be seen both at home and in all parts of the world where the British are or have been. Unlike most books of travels, which we read as records of the past, Mr. Melly's . work speaks of individuals end incidents which we all remember as things of yesterday. For instance, be states that before leaving Cairo he was desirous to be introduced to the Viceroy, but was prevented by the arrival of the Nepaulese Ambassador returning from England, for whom the Viceroy held a special court. Our old friend the baby Hippopotamus, who caused such a sensation in this country, was, we are informed, caught at Khartoum, and brought up by band for three months there, before he was strong enough to undertake a voyage to Alex andria. A variety of anecdotes respecting the habits, customs, and superstitions of the Egyptians and Nubians are to be found throughout, and how much is to be learned by those who travel, and how old be liefs and prejudices are removed by its agency, the following quotation will show : " THE CAMEL. " My earliest recollections of them are those based on those veracious publications in which elephants pick up young children and place thern.carefully on their backs, and camels gallop . for days, unrepining, over sandy deserts, never halting, though without food or water. Such are the camels of our tender years—such are not the camels of cur experience. Instead of this poetic patience, they growl savagely, making one of the most disagreeable noises I -ever heard, and striving to turn round and get up as you load them; but when once their burden is properly adj usted, they are per fectl y quiet. It is impossible to imagine hol pr ovokin g they can make themselves, and did cut trice to ma ke them selves day after day. Some would run away , a nd some, by way of contrast, not only would not run, but would not move.; Some were always lying d ow n, and some could not be persuaded to travel — but mine beat all t he rest in camel-like amiability. Oa the average be how led six hours a day, a kind of music such as no one ca n conceive who bag not heard it. He would stand deggrdlY stil l till forced by blows to lie down, and every time I turned round in my saddle, or put my hand in mr p o cket, he turned viciously round with a fierce grOtil- I had another, by way of contrast, who would walk quietly to within shot of a covey of partridges, then stop and allow me a good aim at them.

The managers of the English public, thereforewho have rightly in enabling the m ,not the opportunity of visiting the Italian Oper a, to become acquainted with the most popular modern Italian composer. The story of the opera founded on Victor uu, we need hardly say, is well known drama of Ernani, and. as in the cuss of Lucrezia .Borgia, the French drama is closely '.Travers adhered to. The cast WAS as follows :—Ernani, Mr. g ii rravers ; Don Carlos, Mr. Charles Romer; Don 1 Mr. Borrani; Elvira, Miss Rouser.. In the charact e r v 8 of Elvira, Miss Romer was remarkably successful ; 315 0 sang the trying music of the part with all the correctness and of an accomplished musician, and the taste mr. feeling of a true artist. She was ably seconded by T ravers. They were applauded to the echo, and de se rvedly .E e ncored in the deliciously tender duet betweenan d Ernani in the second act, "It death should c ome " (elk, morir potessi adesso), which was charmingly them. The terzetto, "Gold, gold sung by and in than miser's heart, which precedes the duet, Borrani takes part, was also given *ltnh w hic hfi Mr Indeed, the concerted pieas in biwelb ewe fine eff ec t. iss Romer, Mr. Travera, and Mr. Burr 7 ani we oncerned were irreprbachably executed.

(Sorte e la none), in which Miss Romer was is thusiastically encored. Borrani, as the proud, vindic tive old Spania rd, looked the character admirab ly . His voice was h eard to peculiar advantage in the e con certed music, and in a dramatic point of view, he acquitted himself very creditably. We were sorry to find Mr. Charl es Romer suffering under evidentn' i which is, of cou rse, a com p lete shield to disposition, criticism. Tie, however, sang with taste and a ness the simple aria " Come, then, love" (Vieniweet meAco sol di rose), in which hewas warmly applauded. a whole, the opera was rernarably well executed;t he s choruses and orOitstia showed the results of training in their improved diicipline.

As the bu siness of the dock establishments and the import and suffer ance wharf premises on both sides of thee is regulated in accordance with the Customs, the traffic bf those great commercial and other establishments will be postponed until that hour during the period mentioned, and there will be no deliveries of goods from the bonded warehouses, or of wines, spirits, and other foreign liquids, from the vaults or other premises until that time during the winter months. AMERICAN NEWS LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING. By the arrival of the Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, Judkiva commander, we have received advices from New York to the 22d ult. She brings sixty-six pas sengers, and 330,0001. in specie on freight. The Asia sailed from New York at noon on the 22.1 ult., and was announced off Holyhead at 345 P.M. yesterday, and arrived in the river 3.5 this morn • ing, having made the run in ten days, six hours, and twenty minutes, mean steaming time. The Asia passed the Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara, with the mails of the 10th ult., for New York, at 5.50 P.M. on the 23d ult. The United States' new screw steam-ship Pioneer, Eldridge commander, sailed from New York for Liverpool on the 18th ult. The miscellaneous advices include Kossuth's adt dress to the people of the United States and North America, written at Broussa, March 27, 1850. Judge Hoadley, of the Superior Court of Cincinnati, had decided that the law of the Unit d States and all the decisions of the highest cour t relative to fugitive slaves were unconstitutional. Mr. James Buchanan, for many years British Consul at New York, died on the 11th near Montreal. Dr. Kinkel, the German refugee, was, it was said, in Washington, endeavouring to raise a loan for the purpose of revolutionizing Germany. The following is a copy of the proposal : " GERMAN NATIONAL LOAN. " 1. The creation of a fund of 2,000,000 dollars for the purpose of forwarding the approaching revolution in Germany, shall be forthwith commenced by means of a German N ational Loan. " 2. None will be called upon to guarantee the said loan but those who have the confidence of the public. " 3. The undertaking will be confided in its com mencement to Messrs. Kinkel, Willich, and 0. Rei chenbach. The initiative and the selection of the means will be entirely given up to them, and they are authorised to issue receipts in their names, which shall bear an interest of 5 per cent. on all sums paid in. " 4. The treasury, ad interim, shall be under the care of Oscar Reichenbacb, 1, Paulson-square, Chel sea, London. " 5. As soon as the sum of 20,000 dollars shall be paid in, the aforesaid finance committee, pro tem., shall call a convention for the purpose of guaranteeing the said loan. To the decision of this convention will be submitted the following questions: — "a. The formation of a permanent revolutionary committee. "b. The establishment of a plan of administration. " c. The safe deposit of the proceeds of the loan, and their transfer. " 6. The revolutionary committee, elected by the convention, shall have unlimited power to dispose of the money realized for promoting the revolution. They wilt surrender their power when an acknow !edged revolutionary Government shall be established in the fatherland. This Government shall have the right to require, at the hands of the said committee, an account of their transactions, and to submit to the decision of the people the question of their ad ministration of their trust. " 7. The signers of this document pledge them selves, after the conquest of the revolution, to use all their influence to procure the assumption by the State of the principal and interest of this German revolutionary loan, and to carry out faithfully all the conditions thereof. "The undersigned agree to the foregoing plan of a German national loan, and promise to guarantee the same to the amount of 2,000,000 dollars." The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, referring to Dr. Kinkel's scheme, also says that " Italians have already raised two million dol lars, which are now in deposit in a London bank, subject to the control of the revolutionary Democrats, who are preparing to blow up the crowned tyrants of the Old World." We have nothing additional from Canada. The following extraordinary statement, relative to the immigration into Canada, appears in the New York Tribune : " Complaints are loudly made by the provincial press, of the number of destitute pauper emigrants sent out to Canada by Irish and Scotch landlords. From estates in South Uist and Barra, in the High lands of Scotland, more than 1,100 destitute tenants and cotters have been sent off under the most delu sive temptations, they being assured that they would be taken care of immediately on their arrival at Quebec by the emigrant agent, receive a free passage to Upper Canada, where they would be provided with work by the Government agents, and receive grants of land on certain imaginary conditions. Seventy one of the last cargo of 450 have signed a statement that some of them fled to the mountains, when an attempt was made to force them to emigrate." " The ceremony of turning the first sod on the Toronto and Lake Huron Railroad was performed on the 16:h, at Toronto by the Countess of Elgin, in the presence of some 20,000 people. Lord Eigin made an excellent address on the occasion." From Northern Mexico we have telegraphic ac counts, via New Orleans : "On the 16th inst. Caravojal was, within 10 miles of Matamoras, with a very large force, numbering, it is said, not less than 10 , 000 men , including about 400 Texan rangers. It was fully expected that be would attack the city on the following morning, the 17th inst. Among the rangers is one company who were discharged from the United States' army. The ex citement in Northern Mexico is intense, and daily in creesing. By the steamer Mexico, from Galveston, we have reports that Wild Cat and his followers are much dissatisfied at their recent treatment, and are moving towards Matamoras—it is supposed, to act against the Revolutionists under Caravajal." The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald states that the Mexican Government had asked permission of Congress to anticipate 700,000 dollars more of the United States' indemnity. The Tribune contains the following : " Intelligence from Mexico to the 27th of Septem ber says everything about the Government of Mexico appears to be iu lamentable confusion, and it is nearly impossible to get together quorum of depart ments, and when a constitutional number is present, they do nothing but submit projects, squabble, and fight. The Treasury is reduced to its lowest ebb, and the resoruces of Government almost annihilated. Mr. Letcher, the American Minister, has arrived at Vera Cruz, on his way to the capital. We stated, some time since, that the Cabinet of President Arista had resigned. Ineffectual efforts have been made to ap point successors. We learn from the Trait d' Union of the 14th that M. Robles bad accepted the post of Minister of War. M. Estava positively refuses that of Minister of Finance. M. Ramirez is Minister of Public Affairs." • Accounts from the Sandwich Islands, to the 16th of August, contain very serious intelligence relative to the whaling fleet: — "It appears that the whole whaling fleet had win tered in the Gulf of Anadir, in the northern part of the sea of Kamtschatka, in Russia in Asia, and, on the coming on of spring, had set sail for Behring's Straits, but, in attempting to pass through into the Artic Ocean, the fleet was environed by ice, and the above named vessels were totally wrecked. The crews of the destroyed vessels are reported to have reached the mainland in safety, but it is said that in some dis turbances afterwards, with the natives, eleven of the whalemen lost their Advices from Callao, to the 20th of September, report that a revolution had broken cut in Chilli, and that many of the troops had pronounced in fa vour of General Santa Cruz for President, that Coquimbo and other cities were in possession of the new party, and that everything throughout the Re public was in a disorganized state. From Honduras we have advices to the 25th Sep tember. The country remained quiet, though the general opinion was that the difference of opinion as to the future policy of Central America would soon cause hostilities to break out. A severe shock of an earthquake was felt at Truxillo on the 18th of Au gust, and extended throughout Honduras, without, however, doing much damage, save a severe shaking to the houses, causing the inhabitants to leave them immediately. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, OCT. 22.—The easy condition of the money market continues to exert a very favourable in fluence upon stocks and securities of every description. The annexed list of quotations exhibits a decided pea extensive. o ttie v on e n m ssi v e i e n n. t which, in T There the e e during r h a a i s l r a o l a s d toh and beeel been s at other sftoeuard o cyd days, ha ve h es e vd ee t mrbaaennesnd for Government and State loans, and notwithstanding the almost entire absence of foreign orders, lcrge sales have been effected, aed all offering have been readily taken. Wo understand that the New Six per Cent. Lose of 200,000 dollars issued by this State, redeemable in 1866, has been taken on speculation at a premium of 9.45 per cent. The decline in the rates for money has also had a corresponding efftot upon the opera tions in foreign exchange, enabling parties to remit much more freely than when the market was so strin gent a few weeks ago. This is seen in the firma( sa of bills in London, in which there has been a large bu siness done for the steamer Asia. It is expected that the Atlantic, to sail on Saturday next, will also tyke a very large amount of specie. No apprehension is now felt at the exportation of specie, the receipts of gold from California being sufficiently extensive to allay all fears on this point. Upwards of 2,500,000 dolls. have been received within the last fortnight, and it is confi dently expected that the receipts of the month will reach 4,500,000 dolls. Independently of this, our banks are now well fortified, having nearly 11,000,000 dolls. worth of coin on hand. Exchange—There has been considerable business done for this steamer. Continental exchanges were a little lower in the beginning, but closed, as well as for atcrling, very firmly.. We %note bills on London, 4 to lot percent. premium ; Pam, sf. 15e, to 51, 16i0.,. 60 days—and sf. Pie, short sight; Antwerp, sf. 1610. to sr. 1712.; Atnatetthirn, 404 to 41e ; Hamburgh, 35 • to 34; and Bremen, 78e to 784 e. Cotton —Tile sales since our las% per Canada, the 14th inst., r_raount to 0,550 bases. Of this quantity fully 4,00) bales have been taken by spinners, woo are gt:ite• rally very lightly stocked, and vs the business of !he past week has proved, have permitted their stocks to run too low for salety. Prices paid this day are fully c. above Mon) last advised, owing entirely to the cause above referred to, namely, the immediate and pressing wants of the trade, and may be still further enhanced, as it is well known our supplies must continue moderate fur the next twenty days. But in the advices relative to the growing crop and the rates current at Southern ports there is nothing to sustain this position. All ac counts concur in representing the 3ield as large, and estimates made are generally 100,000 to 200,000 bales above those current a month since—the result of the seasonable and propitious weather which has prevailed throughout the south during the period. With no frost until November (and the weather is now as balmy us May), it is behaved that 2,700,000 bales will be received at the ports, and the estimates advised to us range from 2,600,000 to 2,760,000. The market closed to-day with sales of 1,700 bales at very full rates. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The distribution of a sum of about 30,0001. of the funds in pecuniary rewards, for services rendered in connexion with the Exhibition, was last we; k rapidly proceeded with, according to the scal e agree d upon by the Commissioners. In addition to the sums we have already named, 100/. has been presented to dr. Wbishaw, who at an early period of its history rendered good service to the cause, principally as one of the Commmissieners employed in visiting various parts of the country for the purpose of ascertaining the feelings of the manufacturers with reference to the proposed Exhibition. Of the sum voted for the re wards or the police, 3001. has been allotted to Mr. Superintendent Pearce, 150/. to each of the inspectors, and 500/. to the Police Fund. The following circular has been addressed to all the foreign acting Commissioners:— " Sir,—l am directed by her Majesty's Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851, to acquaint you that they have endeavoured to mark, by a pecuniary gratuity, their sense of the services of the various officers, scien tific and others, who have assisted in the management and superintendence of particular departments on the British side of the Exhibition. " They are desirous of showing, in a like manner, their sense of the great assistance they have received from you, and from all those who have acted under you in the management of the portion of the Exhibition. " The Commissioners trust that you will not deny them this pleasure, and that you will furnish them, as early as convenient, with the names of all persons who have served in this country under you in the manage ment of your department of the Exhibition. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your very obedient servant, (Signed) " EDGAR A. BOWRING. " Exhibition-building, Hyde-park, Oct. 31, 1851." COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, SATURDAY, Nov. 1.

The Chairman of the Customs had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Friday, at his official residence in Downing-street. _ _ Dispatches were sent off on Saturday evening from the Colonial-office for the Governors of the West India Colonies. GLASGOW UNIVERSITY-THE LORD RECTORSIIIP. is We understand that it intended by a large section of the students of the University again to bring forward Lord Palmerston for the offv.ia of Lord Rector, at the ap proaching thaition. It will be recollected that last year the rival candidates were Mr. Sheriff Alison and Lord Palmerston—that the " Nations" were equally divided on the occasion—and that, on Mr. T. B. Macaulay de clining to exercise his right of giving the casting vote, Colonel Mare, on whom that duty devolved, decided in favour of Mr. Alison. There were few, we believe, who grudged our excellent and learned Sheriff the distinguish( d honour which was thus conferred upon him. liowover people might differ in regard to his palitica and econo mical views, there coull only exist one opinion as to his qualifications, on may eminent grounds, to adorn the rectorial chair. The desire, however, which has arisen to contest his re election at this time, has originated in various urgent considerations, and will not, it is hoped, le regarded as ungracious. Lord Palmerstone is now in the zenith of his great fame, and the present tranquil state of the political horiz in seems peculiarly favourable for securing !L visit to our city of the Noble Secretary for Foreign A (fairs. Although, as a general rule, the Rector is allowed to retain office for two years, there are now several precedents for an annual change, and hence, we aro informed, the movement how in progress in favour of not allowing the present—perhaps last— opportunity to pass of adding the brilliant name of Palmerston to the illustrious roll of statesmen, philoso• phers, and orators, which dignity our University annals. —Glasgow Citizen. LORD MAYOR'S DAY.—The most extensive pre parations are making for the ensuing civic pageant, which will take place on Mon3ay, the it 0 h inst., the 9th falling on a Sunday. The procession will be arranged by Mr. Fenton, the scenic artist, in a style similar to what took place last year. The whole of Mr. Batty's stud of horses, &c., will again be employed, as well as the equestrian corps attached to the amphitheatre, all of whom will appear in splendid costumes and suits of armotuh, which are being m a d e ex pressly, ft armour of the period of Francis th e First and Henry t g h n k es Eighth, dh from the best authe r iti es . I t is said that there d he e r s e i- will s be the unusual number of eight een knights, ar med cap • a-pie, ' with their attenda n t s , esqu i res, banner-bearers, &c. THEATRICAL NEWS. We may expect great h n es in the theatrical world between this and th e forth comingag season. The Keens and the K ee l eys di ssolve part ership; and Mr. Keeley, with his old partner, Mr. Strutt, will again embark their capital at another house in the me tropolis. Mr. Bourcicault is writing a n ew come d y for them. Mr. Alfred Wigan is to be the new stage manager. Paris is very gay, and amongst the present visitors are to be seen Mr. and Mrs. Keeley, Wigan, Webster, and several others of the theatrical profession. --Era. The municipal elections throughout the country on Saturday appear to have excited very little interest. In several boroughs there were no contests at all, whilst in by far the greater number they were partial, extending only to three or four wards. The Liberal interest seems, upon the whole, to have retained its ascendancy. The election of mayors on the 9th inst. promises, with few exceptions, to be equally remarkable for the absence of opposition. Mr. Lumley, of her Majesty's Theatre, has taken a gentleman well known in the theatrical world as an excel lent manager of the pecuniary department into partnership, and he is busily engaged with him in Paris at the present time. We also learn that he has entered into several impor tant engagements with most eminent artistes, who have astonished the Russian and Prussian capitals, but who have not yet made their debut in this metropolis. One of them, report says, will be a second Jenny Lind.— Era. KOSSUTH'S VISIT TO MANCHESTER.—On Friday Mr. George Wilson and a deputation waited upon M. Kossuth at Mr. Massingberd's residence, in Eaton place. in order to request him to pay a visit to Manchester. M. Kossuth ac. cepted the invitation, and it was finally arranged that lie should visit Manchester on the 11th instant; and on that evening be will receive addresses in the l'ree-trade Hall. We understand that M. Kossuth w be the guest of Mr. Alexander Henry, M.P., at Woodlands. —Manchester Guardian. Mr. W. Currie is appointed police magistrae for the district of the metropolis. Mr. Corrie was deputy steward of the Palace Cou r t a t t h e period of the abolition ,• and the annual compensation then awarded to him is saved to the public, and is to be deducted from his present salary awordiog to the dechgou of the, beaattry. SPORTING NOTES. CLII. A FEW FACTS CONCERNING THE LATE HOUGIITON MEETING WITH A GLANCE AT THE EPSOM. AUTUMN SPORT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The late meeting at Newmarket was an un commonly busy one; it commenced early on Monday and extended over the whole week, every day being replete with very interesting sport. One of the strange facts of the weak was the re-appearance of Lady Evelyn as it winner under the new ownership of Lord 'Wilton, and though her running has been execrable during the sear at light weights, she comes out in the D. I. Handicapliate, and with the top wei E ht of Bst 71b up, wins cleverly. Fact the second refers to the Goodwood stable, all the once reported cracks for neat year's Derby; the wonders that were to be done by that stable have turned out moon shine; not one among the whole lot having the most ghostly chance of winning the great Surrey event next year. The crowning finale to their blunders being the wretched defeat of Houlakin by Hesperus, Magnes, and Winge nund, in the Glasgow Stakes. Fact the third is the strange but truthful one that Truth's qualities should have been so thoroughly overlooked, as was plain from her race two days atter the Cambridgeshire, when she carried the great weight of 7et 121 b, and beat, among others, Prime Minister, Lllza Middleton, and Phlegra, proves that she is a mare almost of the first class instead of one of the third or fourth, as she has hitherto been rated. Among the minor facts of the past week, it may be recorded that Claverhouse has been the fancy nag for the Derby, as little as 15 to 1 having been taken about him. Augur, Kingston, Orelio, Women ley. Little Harry, and Lapidtst, have also found many supporters, and in one or two instances for heavy sums. Little or nothing else of any consequence was codonobenseidein„rhting the the betting on future events. The settling, public we re t h e losers, was a very good The principal losers of the week are Sir Joseph Hawley and the backers of his stable; it is said that they dropped 10,0001. The Epsom Autumn Meeting extends over two days, Monday being devoted to flat racing and Wednesday to Epsom cross country w or k. The Autumn Handicap of 200 sovs., add e d to a sweepstakes of 10 soya. each, h ft, and only two if deciared, Bce., N ab C nf o a u l , s bs e ee , et w ehe i e l e l p tma p ne r rn u ie b tss a . b 1 y of It be the contested by ew a moiety petby is lot , t b m u y t a n v t their chances to p o i n t ou t those that are likely g sifted figure i e n ntion to prominently in front. I consider that the handicap is a bad one, and that the top weights,uirrhaps with the ex ception Among eDmouidbdtleanwdeiBt. of the race. ts A a r c e h r a n e t bens m the th o e nly lig on h e t seemingly with a chance; therefore from weights I must attempt the selection of a winner, which will turn up in all p ro b a bili ty i n Iscara, Dort JSDRo, Or INGRATITUDE, the first named for choice. The ,Bed dington Stakes of 10 sovs. each, h ft, with 100 added, &c., one mile, has a very large entry indeed, some nine or ten of whom will be found at th e post. The race, I fancy, will lie between Merry Bird. The, Epirus, and Ithuriel fillies, Merry Bird to win; Ethelwolf, Agnes Wickfield, and Valentine's day running well up. The Bentinck Plate of 100 soya., one mile, is a bit of a puzzle, but for better or worse I shall seize upon Lamartine or Theorem as the winner. I shall expect to see Manifold well up. The Two Y ear Old Selling Stakes, the Paddock Stakes, and the Selling Stakes are not yet closed. On Wednesday Mr. Carew with Miss MOWBRAY or the BRITISH YEOMAN Ought to win the Epsom Autumn Steeple Chase, Maria Day and Melford being second and third, with Spring Buck inclose attendance. If Mr. Carew does not win the Walton Free Handicap Steeple Chase with his Victrees and Co., I expect the' General will, Forest Lad being second or third. The Free Handicap Hurdle Race ' I fancy, will be carried off by Bullfinch or Gimcrack. This speculation, however, is made in the dark, as the acceptances are not out.
