Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., post ave., L W A NOVEL. 0 -0 D. " The author, we are convince. is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a yv rater of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nems, and Smythes."—Observer. " Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ng beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuons parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning rest.

Third Week of the accomplished Vocalist, Miss Annie Hardie. The Gazette announces that her MAJESTY has been pleased to confer the honour of knighthood upon Mr. EDWIN LANDSEER. Always excepting the fact that it is knighthood, and not a baronetcy, which would • have been more becoming both to the appreciation of the giver and the merits of the recipient, the honour conferred upon the eminent Academician cannot fail to receive very general approbation. Small as is the boon, we gladly welcome it as a token that some movement is being taken in the right direction by those who have the privilege, not of con ferring, but of recognising distinction. The poet, historian, novelist, or artist, who is worthy of his name wins for himself; undoubtedly, a far higher honour, and a more enviable distinction than it is in the power of Crown or Minister to bestow. A popular favourite is, in these days of democracy, justly felt to hold a prouder place than a protege of Royalty. Greatness that is "achieved" is immeasur ably superior to that which is inherited, or " thrust upon" its possessor. Yet, while we cannot but deem SCOTT, the novelist, or LANDSEER, the artist, to be fully as honourable titles as those of Sir WALTER or Sir EDWIN, such appellatives are at least gratifying evidences that real merit is not always unrecognised in high places. And we heed some such satisfactory evidences, scanty and few and far between as they are, to oppose to the long-con tinued indifference and neglect which men of genius have encountered from the legislators of this country. The records of other nations tell a different tale. In few places can we find a match for the disproportion of our pension lists, in which thousands upon thou sands are lavished upon the descendants of some royal favourites of centuries back, and our literary fund, in which a pitiful twelve hucdred a year is provided as the nation's sole offering to its noblest benefactors. These and many other similarly disgraceful facts render us doubly gratified by even such a trivial gift as that just bestowed upon the eminent artist whose inimitable pencil has so frequently attested how skilfully and happily art may rival na ture. While congratulating Sir EDWIN upon this Royal recognition of that genius which has long since so deservedly obtained for him the popular applause, we venture to anticipate that the recent announce ment in the Gazette is only the prelude to many more of a similar kind, and the initiation to a system which, by giving honour to whom honour is due, will prove " twice blessed" in its effects, ennobling alike the recipient and the donors. FIRE AT THE "MARIA-LANE EXPRESS" -OFFICE (THIS DAY) —Shortly before nine o'clock this morning a dis covery of tire took place at the printing-office of Messrs. Rogerson, Norfolk-street, Strand. It appears that the men noticed a strong smell of burning in the storeroom on the ground-floor, where thousands of volumes of books were de psited, but the cause of aLrin could not be ascertained till an extensive closet had been broken open, where the tire was found t ) be mAing rapid progr,ss amongst piles of books. Assistance was soon at hand, and the brigade en gines and firemen . under Mr. Gilt, the chief officer, were soon hi aVendance, but, fortunately, the services of the latter were but little required The portion of the premises where the fie occurred had rot been looked at or vntered for some years piss, so that the cause of the fire could Lot is any way be as certained. DEATH OF THE 13zsnor OF MEATH.—The death of a Chief Justice in one week has been followed in the next by the unexpected decease of a Bishop, whose elevation to the episcopal bench took place only a few years since. The Right Rev. Dr. Stopford, Lord Bishop of Meath, expired at the P.:lace, Ardbraccan, late on Tuesday night. The de ceased Prelate was elevated from the Archdeaconry of Ar magh to the see of Meath during tlx Viceroyalty of Earl de Grey. Dr. Stopford had been long labouring under the effects of disease of the heart, but had recently, consider ing his time of life, been in the enjoyment of tolerable health. His Lordship was a member of the Privy Council in Ireland. THE LATE BALLOON ACCIDENT. —The Courrier de la Gironde of Monday says:—" Yesterday at the Hippo drome of Vincennes, an ascension for the benefit of the family of the unfortunate aeronaut Gale took place. The impression caused on the spectators by the fatal catastrophe of the previous Sunday prevented our population from going en nat3se to the Hippodrome; for we regret to state that very few people responded to this charitable appeal. The benefit of the poor orphans will be reduced to a small sum; scarcely did the receipts amount to a tenth of what they were the week before. The director of the gas establishment reduced his charge for gas one-half, and if he had not had the gene rosity to do so it is probable that the expenses would not have been covered. The ascent of the Royal Cremorne bal loon took place at lour o'clock. The car was occupied by Mr. Goulston and his son, and Mr. and Mrs. Clifford. The balloon, driven by a south wind, went iu the direction of Blanquefort and St. MClard, and descended near th ose two communes." THE BDARD OF HEALTH'S REPORT ON CHOLERA. —The report of the Board of Health on on the epidemic cholera of 1848 and 1849 was issued yesterday.

" i'INGLETON FONTENOT, R.N.," By JAMES HANNAY, Esq., In the last session of Parliament, a Bill entitled the Late of her Majesty's Navy, Administration of Criminal Justice Improvement Bill, will be ready, immediately, in 3 vols. Orders received at all the Libraries. proposing very great, and in some cases some very Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough - street. beneficial, changes in the law respecting indictments, was introduced into the House of Lords by the pre sent Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bencb. On the introduction of the Bill, it consisted of no more than twelve short sections ; in Committee twelve or fourteen sections were added to it, and in its ex tended form the Bill passed, but the measure disap peared in the Commons. The whole subject of cri minal pleading, it is quite obvious, if there were a Minister of Justice, whose duty it was ma turely to consider and specially to prepare all amendments of the law, would have been fully , and carefully considered before the measure were sub mitted to Parliament, and, under the superin tendence of such an officer of state, would have passed safely through both Houses. There is no greater evil than the constant tampering which we see with the laws affecting the administration of justice ; the most crude and ill digested measures are brought forward by persons of very little knowledge of jurisprudence or practical acquaintance of the law, and good measures often lose much of their value by being dealt with in detail, without proper regard to their relation to other enactments, or to the harmony which should exist between the various parts of the whole system of law. " How long," demands Lord •BILOUGHAM, " must we hold out a spectacle to the world so fitted to excite pity, if not scorn, as that of some half-dozen departments each manufacturing laws by the score, without the least communication among themselves, much less any common superin tendence—all pulling different ways—using the same words in various senses, or various words in the same —adopting contradictory provisions as well as terms —each department ignorant of what the other is about—all little acquainted with what had before been enacted—now abrogating without intending to change —now enacting without meaning to ordain— in short such a Babel of confusion as tends to bring the spectacle of a popular Legisla'ure into contempt, if not to place its very existence in peril." The much-talked of division of the duties of Lord Chan cellor would enable the Government to remedy the in conveniences and pressing evils here pointed out, for if a permanent Chief Judge in Equity were appointed to preside over the Court of Chancery, the functions of Minister of Justice might with great propriety be confided to the removable keeper of the Great Seal. Lord BROUGHAM supplies several other striking illus trations of the necessity of constituting a Minister of Justice, and, in reviewing the failures of the session, offers several valuable suggestions to guide the future course of Law EA formers, the consideration of which we must reserve fur another article.

Upon one point in the character of Lord BROUGHAM posterity will be unanimous,—his name as a Law Re former will be inscribed "on a fair and enduring monument," and it will be conferred that no man in the times in which he lived originated so many valu able improvements in the jurisprudence of this country, or promoted more successfully the practical amendment of the law. His Lordship has just pub lished a letter to Lord DENMAN reviewing the legis lation of the session of 1850 as it regards legal ques tions, and, with his characteristic force and perspicuity, suggests several topics of the highest importance con nected with the even and pure administration of justice, which deserve the most attentive consideration. For many years the desirableness and necessity of reducing the criminal law of this kingdom, which at present lies buried in a pile of statutes, or scattered in the pages of some hundred folio volumes of reports, into a Digest or Code has been universally recog nised; hut, although it is now above seventeen years since Lord BROUGHAM, then Lord Chancellor, issued the Criminal Law Commission, specially with a view to have the subject of a Digest thoroughly con sidered, and although the Commissioners with infi nite pains and very great labour reported on the ge neral state of the department of the law to which their attention was confined, and prepared an elabo rate Digest of the law relating to crimes and punish ments, and criminal procedure—the country being put to an expense of nearly 100,000/_ in the preparation of this great national work—nothing is absolutely yet done, and we are still debarred, to quote the Noble Lord's words, of " the possession of a benefit so pre cious to both the people, the Bench, and the Bar, as a complete digest of those laws which the subject is commanded, under the severest penalies, to obey, and the magistrate is swore to administer." The de sire to have a Code of Laws as perfect as possible, might account for the tardy progress of a work of this kind, but here the progress has been so slow, that one almost suspects that it is about to be allowed to come entirely to a standstill. Indeed, but OA we happen to know th it in the early part of the present year the draft of a Criminal Consolidation B 11 was printed for private circulation, with a view to its being introduced into the House of Commons by the Attorney-G: nerd], \v.! might have been led to suspect thst there was some hidden obitacle to the enactment of a Code. The C nie of the Roman Lave, it is recorded, was prepared in f,urteen months, and the Pandects were accomplished in three years. Seventeen years have been expended on the prelimi nary preparations for an English Criminal Cole! 'We I eleve that the Bar would be grateful for the pro mulgation of a work of authority, that could be referred to as conclusive and binding in all contro versies, which now require appeal to the Mirror, to BRACTON, COKE, HALE, HawarNs, and every text bek, to the latest editions of " Archbold on Criminal ' Pleading," and " Russell on Crime ;" not to mention the countless Acts of Parliament, and the reports from the Year-books and " Crok. Eliz ," down to , DENNISON ! There can be no stronger proof of the necessity of the work, for the completion of which Lord BaouGnass so strongly pleads, than the fact that within the present or the last year it was neces sary for the Court of Appeal at Westminster to pro nounce a considered judgment, defining the common law offence of larceny. The Criminal Law Commission, we hear with great regret, has been suffered to expire, although but 2,000/. more were required for the completion of the Digest, which expense Lord BROUGHAM, with commendable Dublic spirit, offered to take upon himself rather than 'that the labours of so many years should be wasted. What stronger argument need we have of the neces sity ' which exists for having all matters connected • with 'legislation on law, and the administration of justice, confided to one superintending mind, which should be responsible for the preparation of all public measures of this nature ? "An individual," remarks Lord Baetronam, " unarmed with official authority can do little in carrying through so great a work. Even aided by a commission, he requires the support . of the Government. As Chairman of Select Corn , mittees he may make some progress, but the machi nery of Parliamentary proceedings is cumbrous and unwieldly compared with that of the Executive power, ' .And I feel absolutely certain, that if, instead of this work devolving upon an individual Member of Parliament, A public functionary, clothed with the Weight of high station, and enjoying constant access to the other departments of the Government, had su perinteryled and stimulated the proceedings, our whole criminal law woull some years ago have been reduced to a systematic Cade, ar,d the whole civil law would also at this day have been likewise formed into a Di gest.

OVERLAND MAIL INDIA AND CHINA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) MALTA, SEPT. 13 , There is little news from India. The following is in anticipation of the mail by the French steamer. The Ripon was to leave Alexandria 15 hours after her departure. Senhor da Cunha, who so recently entered upon the Government of Macao, died of cholera on Satur day, the 6th July, at 3 30 P.M., aged 53 years, and was buried on the following evening in the chapel of St. Paul's. A letter from Sbahabad, dated the 16th instant, states that the indigo prospects are good, having had heavy rains and a strong generous sun the latter part of June, which will enable them to commence manu facturing on the Ist proximo. The same letter has the following paragraph : " Your readers may recollect a tragic affair that occurred here some three years ago, when the cousin of the head of the Bauleah concern was shot by one of the assistants. That noted place has again been the theatre of a still more tragic scene. A few days since Mr. S—, accompanied by Mr. G—, his assistant, and about 200 men, went to settle with a village but too well prepared to meet them. Mr. S-- was in a palkee, which they smashed; and they beat him most unmercifully, breaking one of his arms. He received a deep gash over the right temple, and many other contusions. Mr. G-- was knocked off his horse and similarly treated. They both passed in palkees in a most deplorable state, and I am sorry to add the latest news is, that Mr. G--- is dead, and Mr. S-'s wound on the temple rather ugly. This is an upshot of affairs not unexpected in this quarter : from the continual stretching of the rope, it has broke." On the 13th of May last we published the depo sitions of Ensign F. Roome, of the 10th Native Infantry, and Ensign John Carnegie, of the 28th Native Infantry, who were murderously attacked at Penn by some frantic natives, We hear that the charge against these men has now been finally disposed of before the judge at Minna. Twelves natives were found guilty, and the sentences of the Court was imprisonment for one year and a fine of 100 rupees, failing the payment of which the men were to be imprisoned for another twelve months. The trial lasted several days, about one hundred witnesses having been examined. A Mahomedan law officer, and Dadabhoy, the Court Moonsif of Bhewndy, sat with the judges as asses sors. It is only fair to Messrs. Roome and Carnegie to say, that it was proved on the trial that they be haved with great judgment after the attack was made, and that their assailants received not the slightest provocation to commit the assault ; and further, that the truth of every word of their depositions was sa tisfactorily proved by evidence. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Bonapartists have commenced reprisals against the Legitatnatists, and the Pouvoir has a furious on slaught against those who setk a "solution," either at Frosbdorf or Claremont, instead of seeking it in the towns and villages of France, the inhabitants of which elected Louis NAPOLEON. The Journal des Debats has the following Dupin, President of the National Assembly, wbo has been in Paris since the day befJre yesterday, visited this morning the Salle des Conferences. M. Dupin being immediately surrounded by his colleagues, and interro gated by them up on the situation of affairs, he declared that his arrival in Paris had no political object; that f,,r his part he felt no anxiety on the score of public feel ing, and he added, as the expression of his profound conviction, that no sedition would have success against the constitutional power of the President; but on the other hand the same might be said of any sedition at tempted in his interest." General CRANGARNIER and General LAMORICIERIS are both in Paris, and regularly assist at the sittings of the Committee of Permanence. The most cordial good understanding appears to exist between them. At the next sitting the Minister of the Interior, M. BAaocnE, will be called upon to give explanations re lative to the society of the 10th December. He has refused three applications made to him by M. CAR. LIER, the Prefect of Police, to dissolve the society. General CHANGARNIER has declared that the society is illegal, and has remonstrated with the PRESIDENT on the subject, but without effect; and M. Dripm, when in conversation with LOUIS NAPOLEON, on Tuesday, said to him—" The club in question is sedi tious. It is true that sedition can do nothing against you; but believe me, also, that sedition can do nothing in your favour." General FIAT, the President of the Society, has addressed another letter to the Journal des Dibats, declaring that it has no political objects. The Slide alludes to a rumour of approaching changes in the Cabinet. It is said that M. Ducos will succeed M. DUMAS as Minister of Commerce, and that M. DE PERSIGNY will succeed M. DE PAR.. MEW as Minister of Public Instruction. General CAVAIGNAC has arrived in Paris,and has given notice of his intention on the meeting of the Assem bly to address interpellations to the Minister on the subject of the illegal conduct of certain Councils- General of Departments in meddling with political matters by demanding a revision of the Constitution, and that he shall move that all the Councils -General which have so misconducted themselves shall be dis , solved. The Presse has the following in allusion to the rumoured " fusion" of the two branches of the Bourbons : "A few days ago several Frenchmen finding them selves in the neighbourhood of Richmond, thought it would be only good taste to send in their names to the Duchess of Orleans. They were immediately invited to the presence of the Princess, who, leading in her son by the hand, expressed her'gratitude for such testimony of respect and sympathy with their grief. One of these vititers t ok advantage of the occasion to assure the Duchess of Orleans that Franca desired earnestly the re turn of the dynasty of July, and would be happy to see the C. of Paris enter the Tuileries once more as the heir of K'ng Louis Philippe. On which the Duchess of Orleans answ•e-ed with emotion, May God grant it, and more)ver may such be the desire of France.' It is from ore of the witnesses cf the scene wo have these details, which do not seem to prove to us that the negotiation undertaken by M. de Salvandy has much chance of success." M. CASSAL, representative of the people, has just been suspended from the mayoralty of Altkirch by the Prefect of the Bas Rhin for three months for having opposed the revision of the Constitution in the Council-General of his department. The steamer Eclaireu has returned to Toulon from its trip to the lonian Isles. It bed not fallen in with the Turkish squadron, whose m ovements i t was sent to watch. Th e Cerberus arrived on the 12th at Toulon from Civita Vecchia with letters and pas sengers. The Constitutionnel says the Minister of Foreign Affairs has approved the conduct of the French Consul at Pernambuco, and that there is no doubt satisfac tion will be granted by the Imperial Government.

The Cipenhagen papers say, in regard to the re port of the accession of the Duke of OLDENDURGII to the throne of Denmark, in the event of the abdication of the KING, that neither the GRAND DUKE nor any other Prince has been recommended by the grea t powers; and it is dubious whether the negotiations that took place at London had reference to the suc cession. THE DANUBIAN PROVINCES. The Weiner Zeitung publishes a letter from Bucharest, of the Ist, which says— " Travellers from Moldavia assert that the Russian troops are constructing batteries and entrenchments o n the main road of Adzsd, about two leagues from Fok shan. Many hundred labourers are actively engaged on the works. The country people are obliged to fur nish wheelbarrows and other requisites. The entrench ments and batteries lie on the River Putna. The Rus sian troops of Bucharest have located themselves in an encampment at .Kelentina for the purpose of making their autumn marceuvres; whether they will take up their winter quarters in the capital is not known." • BELGIUM. THE SEPTEMBER FETES. The annual fetes will take place at Brussels next week, commencing on Monday, the 233, and ending on Thursday, the 26th. These files are held in celebration of the 20:h anniversary of Belgian in dependence. The Brussels Herald gives the following summary of the proceedings :--- " MONDAY, SEPT. 23.—At ten o'clock, a funeral ser vice will take place in the cathedral church of Sts.

At four o'clock, a balloon ascent. • At six, a grand instrumental concert oa the Place des Panoramas. Fate given by the Royal Society of the Grande Harrnonie. At ten o'clock, fireworks at the Scharbeek gate." These fetes afford an admirable opportunity for seeing the Belgians in their best aspect ; and Brus sels, always an interesting capital, will be still more so when crowded with the country people in all their picturesque costume, and b r illi ant with every kind of gaiety. The facility of communication from England by Ostend enables the pleasure-seekers, at very little trouble and expense, to take part in these grand na- tional rejoicings. ITALY. The following is the Bull of Excommunication fulminated by the Archbishop of CAGLIARI against the authorities who sequestrated and seated up his official papers on his refusal to make certain returns required by law : " Emanuel, Archbishop of Cagliari, by the grace of God and the Holy Apostolic See. " Whereas the canon-laws, and more especially the regulations of the Holy Council of Trent, have been violated by an act of sequestration and placing of seals, and by withdrawal of the key from the door of the office of the Contadaria-Gemeral e of the Church, situate in one of the apartments of oar episcopal palace, a religious and sacred domicile—Whereas ignorance of the ecclesi astical laws cannot be alleged as an excuse for such overt acts, tho force of those laws having been set forth in a monitory circular on the 13th of November, 1849, pub lished in this city end the different dioceses—Therefore do we, in virtue of our authority, declare under ban of the higheA excommunication the authors, abettors, con nivers, or promoters of this sequestration, placing of thereof, and we do forbid all confessars to give them as also the executors " Given in our violated domicile, this 4th Sept., 1850. absolution seala nd removing without ovn our c' sanc t io n. keys e" (Signet) " EMANUEL, Archbishop." The priests in Sardinia_ have been endeavouring to excite th ignorant peasantry to insurrection, and some collisions, not unattended with bloodshed, have taken place in the neighbourhood of Cagliari. Troops have been sent from Genoa to Sardinia. The Statuto of Florence of the 11th states that. among the generals that have been dismissed from the Neapolitan army are Signor DE SAUGET 'and Count STATELLA, late commandant of the garrison of Naples.

The Tuscan Government has resolved to grant 25,000 crowns, on the demand of England, for the injuries and losses sustained by British subjects during the occupation of Leghorn by the Austrian troops. MALTA. The cholera cantinues to rage at Malta. It had broken out on board H.M.S. Bellerophon, which has been ordered to England in consequence. THE TURKISH FLEET. The Turkish fleet, under the orders of Grand Admiral Suleiman Pacha, cast anchor in the port of Smyrna on the sth instant, coming from the Ourlac Islands. The fleet consists of the men-of-war first Class, the Neiri-Chewket, bearing the fldg of the Grand Admiral, and the Messoudi6 ; the Nusretie and the Nizami6, second class ; the frigates Navili- Bahri and Fazili-Ilia; the corvette Naztni-Fechan, the brig Kaysi-Zafer, schooner Nev'i-Essar, cutter Serzi-Djelia, and two war-steamers, the Tairi-Bahri and B6chi-Tidjaret. The squadron entered the roadstead in full sail, with a stiff breeze from the west, and cast anchor in perfect order in a semicircle, the two steamers in front. Salutes were exchanged between the town, the squadron, and the foreign vessels in port. The civil and military authorities paid their respects to the Admiral on board his ship. The consular body and the officers of the vessels in port also paid their respects to the Admiral. The Turkish corvette, on signals from the man-of-war, fired salutes, according to the rank of the dignitaries, when they left the s hip. The squadron is said to be commanded by experi enced officers, and the vessels and crews will bear the closest inspection. The squadron was to get under weigh on the 7th for Constantinople. Yesterday morning a fire broke out at the station of the Great Northern Railway, Battle•bridge. A small wooden bridge, forming part of the tram line, was discovered to be in flames, but they were soon extinguished by the fire men without much damage; the cause was attributed to a spark from the furnace. MINING IN NORTH WALES.—Alining in North Wales has received a decided impetus from the late dis covery of several valuable lodes both in Flintshire and Me rionethshire.

Mr. Gordon has retired from the contest for the representation of Pcole. The nomination is appointed for Monday. of the public peace that the civic guard had withdrawn from their posts. On the 16th the Elector and his Ministers had a long interview with the Austrian Minister at Frank fort, who, it is said, promised theta the support of Austrian and Bavarian troops. The arbitral tribunal of Mecklenburgh 'Schwerin has suppressed the fundamental law, and absolved the functionaries from their oaths to observe it. A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna, dated on the afternoon of the 15th, announces the publication of the new law for the political organization of Hun gary, according to which the land is to be divided into five comitats, or districts, according to the o'd distri bution, namely—Pesth, Presburg, Oedenburg, Kas chau, and Grosswardein ; the whole to be under the administration of a viceroy or stadtholder. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 15th says there is an increasing indication that Austria will come to a direct understanding with Prussia, as advised by England and Russia. A letter from Hanover of the 13th says the dis turbances which took place here in consequence of the arrival of Baron IlArruu have determined the police to desire all householders to keep their servants and apprentices at home after eight o'clock in the evening. The public-houses and cigar shops are to be closed by ten o'clock, and very severe measures will be adopted against an y w h o s h a ll attempt to disturb the public peace.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export. The market closed tamely with little varia tion in prices. —In Railway Shares a good business was done, prices, in some instances, rather lower. The produce mark e t s have been brisk this week, and holders by their firmness have succeeded in establishing a further rise in Sugar, Coffee also being dearer. The export orders are satisfactory, and the home consump tion is large. In Tea there has been no improvement, provisions have bad a good sale, and Rice has been in request because of the firm tone of the corn markets. Tallow has been maintained. The Indigo quotations are fully supported, and a further quantity is declared for the forthcoming auctions. The Wool sales have concluded, and very high prices have been obtained. Cotton also is once again in the ascendant upon the less favourable report of the crop. Further information has been obtained by express concerning the contents of the Overland Mail dispatches, but there is nothinz important. The weather was more favourable for the Indigo crop. The steamer Atlantic has arrived from the United States, but we hive only an outline of her news by tele graph. The letters will probably be delivered in town to-morrow. Commercial affairs were prosperous, Bread stuffs quiet, Cotton active and dearer. Exchange on Lon don. 110 to 1101. The Hamburgh mail of Tuesday last brings the rata of exchange on London again a shade lower—viz., 13 6i. Not much was doing in bills. Coffee was still in frisk demand, and rather dearer. Grain was dull. In the Amsterdam Bourse, on the Bth instant, Dutch Stock was not quite so firm, being 571 for the Two-and s-Half per Cents. Spanish Bonds were active, at about previous rates. Mexican and Peruvian Bonds were in demand, and dearer The Mexican correspondenpe in reference to the debt is rather active just now, and a communication we have received from the Committee of Bondholders shows how great is the necessity for vigilance. Up to the end of July 200,000 dollars have been paid to Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh on account of tobacco duties, and yet not a sixpence has been remitted by them, while they have also received 73,000 dollars for the Cotton licenses. A partial remedy for this neglect has at least been found by the removal of the agency. The following will bet ter explain how matters stand at present:— "Committee of Mexican Bondholders, London, 61, Moorgate-street, Sept. 19, 1850. " The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have re ceived bill of lading for 10,202 dollars, shipped by the Great Western from Tampico, where, on the 18th tilt., 13,095 dollars 8 cents more appear to have been pend ing for account of the Bondholders. The Great Wes tern, therefore, brings from Tampico and Vera Cruz to :;ether 50 761 dollars 7 cents, but no remittance from Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh in Mexico. The agents in Tepic advise the receipt of 6 906 dollars 18 cents from the Custom-house of San Bias, for account of the bondholders. Mr. Manuel Escandon, of Mexico, writes in reply to a letter from the committee that, up to the 31st July last, 200,000 dollars have been paid to Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh, in Mexico, out of the tobacco revenue for account of the Bond holders, and that the Government has provided that the payments from that revenue shall in future be paid monthly, and direct to the Bank of England. With respect to the cotton licenses, Mr. Escandon as yet ap pears to rely on the formal character of their sale to him, observing that he has already paid to Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh two amounts of 25,000 and 48,000 dollars on account of them." At the meeting of the South-Eastern and Continental Steam Packet Company held this day, a dividend for the half-year at the rate of four per cent. per annum was declared, leaving a balance of 4,3061. to be carried to the reserve fund, increasing it to 19,531/. The report was adopted. There is a very quiet but steady market for Public Securities, and the value of Consols is still 96 8f0r Transfer, and 96i 8 for Account. Exchequer -bills are 645. to 675. premium. Foreign Securities are supported. Spanish Three per Cents, have been done as high as 371 and 38. The Five per Cents. are 19 to 4. Mexican Bonds have realized 308 to 31, and Peruvian 82. Buenos Ayres Stock has been at 58 to 59k, Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, have been 57g.

It is said that Senor Mox will be elected President of the Chamber of Deputies. He will be the Minis terial candidate for the office, the functions of which he has already performed' with credit. There is talk of a sort of indirect protest that the extreme Radical deputies who have been re-elected desire to make against the elections; with the view of causing it to be believed that the elections have not been free, it is asserted that they intend to resign their seats collectively.
