THE CHOLERA. (Prom the General Board of health.) 3IARYLEBONE. A death, registered diarrhoea, 5 days, and English cholera, 2 days, occurred on the Bth inst., at 19, Car burton-street, Fitzroy-square. Six families reside in the house, which is dirty and dilapidated. The back Yard is in a very offensive condition. There is a filthy open privy in the front cellar ; the soil is on a level with the floor. In the front area is . the water butt, without any cover ing or lid. The water is so impure that the inmates of the house have repeatedly complained to the landlord, but nothing has been done. The week before last the putrid carcase of a cat was found within the butt. The deceased attributed his illness to the horrible effluvia from this privy, which remains uncorrected. A child has had a severe attack of choleraic diarrhcea, in the house. Many of the localities in this parish, Marylebone, are deseribed to be in a most unwholesome and dangerous condition. NEWCASTLE. A. table drawn up by the board exhibits in a striking Manner the impression made upon the disease by the house-to-house visitation. Taking three periods, the first from the 21st to the 25th of Sept. (5 days), the second from the 26th to the 30th (5 days), and the third from Oct. Ist to the Bth (8 days), it appears that while diarrhcea continued to prevail extensively, and the cases approaching cholera remained numerous, the cases of Cholera were reduced from 67 in the first period to 28 in the second, and to 6in the third. In the first period the daily averages of the different classes of cases were : 'Diarrhoea, 504.6 ; approaching cholera, 73.2; cholera, 6 7.8 ; deaths from cholera, 64 ; from diarrhcea, 2.4. &trend period :—Cases of diarrhcea, 520 ; 'approaching Cholera, 54.6 ; cholera, 28.4 ; deaths from cholera, 32.8 ; from diarrhcea, 3. Third period :—Cases of diarrhcea, 297 .5 ; approaching cholera, 19.9 ; cholera, 6.75 ; deaths from cholera, 9 ; diarrhcea, 1.6. Of the total number who have perished by the epi demic in this town, it appears that little more than one seventh were under 15 years of age. while one-four teenth were above 60 years of age. Up to this time it 'would appear from the returns th a t a b ou t 1,000 able bodied persons have been destroyed. The average age of all whose ages have been returned up to this time is 331 years. LIVERPOOL. From the Bth to the 10th of October, there have °ceurred 26 new cases of cholera. Of these 18 were ernlan emigrants (chiefly passengers by the Isaac 1 1,-.°.'"ight), 2 I r i s h em i gran t s , 2 i nmates o f t h e work 118e, and 4 residents of the town. Twelve deaths e taken place, viz., 7 Getman, and 1 Irish erni ot ; 1 inmate of the workhouse, and 3 residents of "tie town (all in the same st ree t). Three of the German L ia tieats were from an emigrant ship, the Emma Field, lying in the river with between 400 and 500 passen gers aboard. No other case of sickness has been dis covered among them, but they are carefully watched. wlt la stated that the parish authorities have taken a areho use shed in 'William-street as an hospital for the th, end of the town, and are endeavouring to secure allnilar accommodation to the south end. They have Z, l4° engaged a fourth dispensary in a central situation. 11 the 11 t h a house -to-house visitation commenced in th e locality in which the three deaths from cholera have Oc curred, ofa On th e same day seven new cases were reported to the aner of health , f our affect i ng emigrants ( t h ree f oreign no , e ° fle Irish), and three inmates of the workhouse, g rant9 ° . l whom h a d h a d commun ication with the eon- Wri g h t , Among the new cases are two of the Isaac Garrick 3 Passengers one pa , senger from on board the ", be en re one from the Antarctic.

On the 10 th Dr. W. Lewis, accompanied by the poor law inspector, visited Darlington and met the guardians, who, on the suggestion of these officers, ordered forth with a house-to -house visitation, with a view of ascer taining the amount of diarrhoea prevailin in the town, and whether any and what additional preventive mea sures may be required. On the same there . was a full meeting of the magistrates to take into considerationdderation a long-disputed question which it appearseo;il whethe'rt caused bitter animosity in the town— namely, stitute a nuisance and should be toler,,ted in Pagescelon. neighbourhood of dwelling -houses. After much discouss! sion the magistrates appeared to be divided in opinion, and appealed to Dr. Lewis, who decided against the pigs, whereupon it was ordered that the pigs should be removed, the offender in this particular case being fined 405., and ss. a day from the day notice was given. MIDDLESBOROUGH. The result of one day's house-to-house visitation n this place, made by the resident medical men, was the discovery of 78 diarrhceal cases, to nip which in the bud, and thus to prevent, if possible, any outbreak of cholera, it has been determined to appoint two house-to-house visitors to devote themselves entirely to the work of visi tation. STOCKTON. By the vigorous measures employed a decided impres sion has been made on the disease in this place. Several entire families have been removed to comfortable apart ments belonging to the workhouse, and no illness has in any one instance manifested itself among those that have been removed. Another remarkable fact is stated. Dr. Lewis is said personally to have exerted himself to persuade a certain family to remove, as other families had done. His exertions were seconded by those of some of the town authorities. One of the children of this family had died on Sunday. The father and mother were told that if they remained there during Sunday night more of the ohildren would surely suffer. Unfor tunately no representation was of any avail : they re fused to move. On Monday another child was seized with cholera and died the same day. GATESHEAD. Oct. 8,9, and 10.—Cholera Diarrhoea 1 The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea in Gateshead to the present date has been 496. During the like period (viz., the first 34 days) 1831-2 the deaths amounted to 144. The total number of fatal cases of cholera which have occurred in Gateshead from the commencement of the present outbreak (Ist September) to the 10th October inclusive has been 459. The total number of deaths from diarrhoea during the same period has been 37; 'slaking a total of 496. COLDINGHAM BY AYTON. Oct. 10.—Cholera DUMB.

ALGIERS, According to the officiaBlrzo 21,048 Jews.,therewere in Algiers, on the 31st December, 15 Whil e the number of Moorish inhabitants is province decreasi ofng that of the J ews i s on the increase. In the Algiers there are 33 synagogues ; namely, 23 2 in in Algiers (7,000 I sraelites), 3in Blidah, 2 in Medal lianah, and lin Orleansville. In the town of Constan tine there are 9, and one in each of the provinciallof which towns. The p rov i nce of Oran has 32 synagogues, are in Oran itself. In Algiers a synagogue isonthe point o f b eing erected, which will cost 119,000 francs_ e ; it will be b u il t at the expense of government. In the year_ 185 1 ther e were four French schools for Jewish boys, and one for g i r l s.

NEW ZEALAND.—The New Zealand papers last re ceived supply us with official accounts of the revenue and trade of the colony, from which it appears that the revenue of Auckland for the last four years, ending 185 2, ha s b een pretty stationary, at from 19,5001. to T.40,1:0)()010./. ,11e official val ue o f t h e i mports averages last yea r it reached 138,5781., but this in -1852 cluded 35 ,000/, o f specie. The value of the exports in WAS 77,953/. against 41,6411. in 1851. There are now about 6 ,000 tons of shipping belonging to the port 9f Auckland, and a most profitable trade is carried on .! 1 1 grain, roots, timber, &c., with Sydney and Mel bourne. Australian gold has placed considerable means in the hands of the colonists, and, although labour has been scarce and dear, the spirit of the people and the fertility of the soil may be determined from the fact that, on .the first day ou which the modified regulations (by which agricultural land became urchaseable at 10s., and pastoral land at ss. an acre P P t k effect not less re )took , 21.000 acres Were applied for. DREADFUL MORTALITY IN BERMCDA._By a private letter from Bermuda, it appears that a most dreadful I . a ver, :very much like yellow fever, was raging in ta n island. Within the small community there no less than 81 deaths lad occurred, regatta hat been postponed: consequence of which the WRECK OF THE SANTIPORE. The port of Folkestone has been the scene of much excitement during the last few days in consequence of the wreck of the Santipore, a fine ship of 650 tons, the property of Messrs. Gilmore and Co., of George-yard, bound for Hobart Town, which, after losing her rudder on the reef known as the Church Rocks, near this place, came broadside on to the beach, and is now lying " high and dry," at ebb tide, within 150 yards of the Pavilion Hotel, and close to the harbour terminus of the South- Eastern Railway. The Santipore left the London Docks on the 26th ult., with nine first class passengers, and a cargo valued at 50,0001., and after encountering the full force of the prevalent south-westerly gales, against which she drove some distance below Dungeness, her comman der, Capt. Jewell, ran back into the Downs. On Mon day, the 3d inst., the weather having moderated, another attempt was made to run down channel, and on Tues day evening the ship was within six miles of Dungeness, in mid-channel. As night drew on the weather hez.ame very thick and hazy, with occasional heavy rain, dur ing which it was impossible to verify, with any degree of certainty, the ship's position. A strong south-wes terly gale sprang up at the same time, rendering it im possible to carry more than the storm sails. About midnight the tide set on to the English coast, and the current and wind together baffled all the attempts of the captain to keep headway on the ship. There was no apprehension, however, of the vessel's dangerous prox imity to the coast until within five minutes before she struck. The thick weather and the darkness of the night prevented the land being sighted until half-past five o'clock, when the ship was within a cable's length of the dangerous reef before mentioned. An attempt to wear her off was made, but proved ineffectual. She struck heavily, and remained fixed on the rocks, rolling fear fully with every sea. The captain had not had his clothes off for four days and nights, and the crew were in a state of great exhaustion, but there was no lack of energy even at this dreadful moment. An order to furl the sails, given by the captain, was gallantly re sponded to by half a dozen of the crew, although the masts were swinging to and fro with the elasticity of horsewhips. The catastrophe was observed by an officer of the coast-guard, who immediately ran into Folke stone and gave an alarm. Several boats soon put off to render assistance, and 40 or 50 boatmen were in the vici nity of the wreck in a very short time. The first care of the captain was to save the lives of his passengers, and they were sent ashore in charge of one of his officers. Captain Jewell then called the boatmen together, and informed them that he was fully aware of the dangerous position in which his ship was placed ; but that he did not intend to give up her command, nor should he leave her while two planks held together. He added, that if 20 of those present chose to lend him assistance at the pumps, he would accept their services and pay them, but under no other circumstances would he allow them to act. The required number of men responded to the captain's invitation, and consented to work under his command. Telegraph messages were at once dispatched to Dover and Rarnsg ste for steam-tugs, and Captain Hathorn, naval superintendent of Folkestone Harbour, who was early on the spot, ordered the Princess Mary, one of the South-Eastern and Continental Steam-packet Com pany's fleet, to proceed to the spot, and render what assistance she could. Nothing could be done except to keep the pumps going until the tide flowed. During the morning the ship was an object of intense interest to many thousands of spectators assembled on the beach between Folkestone and Sandgate. The force with which she struck on the rocks, and afterwards rolled to and fro, would have broken up any vessel of less substantial frame ; but the Santipore, being a teak ship, of Calcutta build, and only five years old, main tained her first-letter character admirably, and held to gether long after old and experienced sailors imagined she would have been dashed ,to pieces. At noon, a Dover tug-boat bore down to the _spot, and, with the Princess Mary, endeavoured to make fast a warp to the vessel's bows. In consequence of the Ole and the dan gerous reef upon which the ship was lying, it was a long time before this could be accomplished.: The Princess Mary first succeeded in making fast, and at flood tide all the men being kept hard at the pumps, the Santipore floated, and came off the reef into deep water, with loss of rudder and false keel, and ten feet water in her hold. Captain Goodburn, of the Princess Mary, immediately put on all steam, and made for the harbour, distant not more than half a mile. Unfortunately, although the warp was a new one, the service it was required to perform was too severe, and at the first strain it snapped. The ship was now again at the mercy of the wind and waves, without rudder or a stitch of sail set, and within a few hundred yards of the beach. At this moment the Merry Andrew tug-boat, ar rived from Ramsgate, and her captain, having dexter ously backed astern under the bows of the Santipore, succeeded in getting a warp on board. It was, however, too late. Before he could get the full strain on to his boat, the ship, drifting rapidly inwards, scraped the ground, and directly afterwards stranded upon her broad sidegaaevya destruction orde rsto e cut t f on the spot above indicated, heeling over to the sea boardt with a tremendous list, threatening the momen tary succession,dshi• a th w e ay ve t s h s e el m . abs C t.s a , p e ta a i e l h i J o e f w w e h ll ic in h st f a e n li t i ly n Hathorn had been watchin comparatively ti r e t o i t , i the beach. Capt. being thus cleared of her top weight, lay spare e friz o e u a r r e l r y s minotrhne ing, and he now directed all the w :p e a c company's service to assist the coast-guard in protecting the ship. A great deal of an x i e t y now prevailed ng as what was best to be done, and it was on l y through tht: presence of Mr. C. M. Soutter, representative of the underwriters in London, who had been sent down on telegraphic intelligence of the wreck being received, that anything could safely he determined upon. Mr. Soutter was on the spot when the ship came ashore, and after con sulting with Capt. Hathorn, and satisfying himself of the impossibility of floating the ship in herpresent state, he at oncedirected that the cargo should be removed. About 200 labourers, and all the carts in the port, have been since engaged in this work. The goods are first hauled up out of the hold, then lowered into carts, and conveyed above high water mark, where they are deposited, pre viously to being transmitted to London. The labour is vastly increased owing to the position of the ship, which, resting on a very steep beach, has a great list towards the sea, the deck being at an angle of about 75 degrees. The cargo consists of a general assortment of goods for the colonies, including a large quantity of silks and cotton goods, ready-made clothing, boots, shoes, spirits, beers, wines, some iron, a quantity of malt and oats, and some sawn deals for building purposes. The ship has 12 feet water in her hold at every flood tide, and the work of unloading necessarily only proceeds at low water. The ship is underwritten for 8,0001. ; and the cargo, it is said, will involve a loss of about 30,0001. to the Royal Exchange and London Assurance Corpo rations. Capt. Jewell is an old experienced officer. The catastrophe is not attributed to any want of skill on his part, but rather to the terrible weather which has prevailed during the past fortnight. His crew consisted of nearly 20, all of whom are said to have behaved with great gallantry. Among the passengers was a Mr. Webb, of Sydney, who was on his return to the colony. He had property on board valued at 4,0001., not one farthing of which is insured. TILE LATE FATAL COLLISION OFF THE NOTE. As yet none of the bodies of the unfortunate crew who perished with the brig Harewood, of Londoi, which foundered near the Mouse Light, after being in collision with the General Steam Navigation Company's steam ship Trident, Captain Morris, have been recovered. The subjoined are the statements of the two survivors— Mr. Graham, the master of the brig, and John Mason, one of the seamen, who were on the look-out forward, which furnish more accurate details of the loss than have yet been given : John Mason says—l was an able seamen on board the Harewood, of London, Graham master, while on her last voyage from Cardiff to London, with a cargo of coals. On Tuesday evening last, about half-past eight o'clock, we weighed anchor from the Oaze-buoy, to the southward of the Mouse. The wind was S.W., strong, on flood tide. Our vessel was close by the wind on the larboard tack. In about three quarters of an hour, when in nearly mid-channel, I descried a bright light, and then immediately a red (paddle-box) one, on our weather.bow. I knew at once that they were those of a steamer, and I reported them instantly to the cap tain, who took the signal lantern to the weather gang way, and waved it for the space of three minutes, and until such time as it was thought to have been observed. On the lantern being removed I missed the red light. It had closed in, and almost immediately afterwards the green (the other paddle) light appeared. Being accustomed to the navigation of steamers, I knew she had changed her course. I shouted to the steamer, as did the other hands, but she came on and struck us. As she came in contact with the brig I jumped on the rail and rushed up the riggirg, and as the steamer passed, she took our foremast on the poop rail and b ro k e it i n t wo . I caught hold of the netting of her poop well aft and got on board, and then found her to be the Tiidet,t, Capt. Morris, be longing to the General Steam Navigation Company. The steamer then passed away clear of the wreck. In a minute or so the brig with her crew disappeared under water. My first impulse after recovering myself was to save the crew if any were clinging to the rigging. I jumped into the quarter-boat of the Trident, and called for assistance. The mate of her joined me in a few minutes. We were lowered down and pulled to the wreck, and found the mainmast and maintopmast standing and the captain in the maintopmast rigging. With some diffi culty we succeeded in getting him off, and we then pulled back to the steamer, which returned to the Thames and landed us. Did not see anything of the men who perished when I went off in the boat. They were all on deck, forward, when the collision took place. The brig went down in two or three minutes after the collision. SHARE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) BRITISH RAILWAYS. RArLw_vi:s. St. 1 20 1100 1 8 lAberdeen. Closing Prices this day. 20 -- 21 Ambg. Nottng. Bost. & Eastu. Blrmng. Wolverh dt Stour Valley Captain Graham says—When Mason called my atten tion to the lights of the steamer I said, "It's all right, I see her." On observing the red light, I took the lan tern and held it over the weather gangway for two or three minutes, and after I thought the steamer had seen the light I took it again, and I was just in the act of hanging it in the companion, when the men forward called out that the steamer was against our bows, and immediately the two vessels came in contact, the Trident's weather bow striking our weather bow, the cap of the brig's bowsprit being left sticking in the steamer's weather side of topgallant forecastle. I ran from the companion towards the fore-end, and turned about, intending to go down to my cabin to save my papers ; but when I got to the companion, I saw that she began to turn her stern up. I then turned round to run forward again, and got as far as the long boat, and caught her by the stern just as the lashings broke, the hull then being under water. After I had caught hold of the boat, she rose and jammed me under the mainyard. With some difficulty I contrived to extricate myself from that position, and succeeded in getting into the top mast rigging, and from there on to the topsailyard, aad I kept shouting to the steamer to come and take me off. In the course of ten minutes Mason came to my aid in a boat, and rescued me. I did not see any thing of the remainder of the crew, who went down with the vessel, not a scream or a cry escaping from them. Not more than two minutes elapsed from the time of our being struck to the brig sinking. The wind was blowing strong, with showers of rain ; it was dark, but not so dark as to prevent vessels being seen any distance from each other. 18j 100 100 all all 4 - 41 8i - 91 Birkenhd. Lines - h.

By the steam-ships Golden Age, Captain Porter, and Y Arctic, Captain Luce, we have advices fr om New York to th e 2d inst. The Arctic has brought 231,813 dols. in specie on freight. The Golden Age sailed from New York at 1 a.m. on the 30th ult., and arrived in the Mersey at 7 o'clock this morning ; the Arctic sailed from New York at 10 a.m. on the 2d inst., and arrived in the Mersey at 9 o'clock this morning, after a fine run of 9 . days and 18 hours mean time. The following steam-ships had arrived out : The United States' steamer Washington, from Bre men, at New York on the 29th ult. ; the steamer America, from Liverpool, at Halifax on the 29th ; and the screw steamer City of Glasgow, from Liver pool at Philadelphia on the Ist inst. The Arotic passed the steam-ship Baltic at 5 p.m. on the 2d, and the steamer Arabia at 5 a.m. on the 4th, both bound from Liverpool for New York. Secretary Marcy's reply to the Austrian Am bassador on the Kossta case has been published. It occupies eight columns of the Washi ng t on Mirror. The following synopsis of the reply we extract from the New York Mirror " Secretary Marcy takes the ground that the citizen or subject of any sovereign Power, having faithfully per formed past and present duties resulting from his rela tion to that Power, may at any time release himself from the obligation of allegiance, freely quit the land of his birth, and seek citizenship under any other sove reignty. Also, that when a sovereignty becomes oppres sive to individuals, the right to withdraw rests on as firm a basis. That, in such a case of withdrawal, neither party—the Sovereignty abandoned nor the So vereignty adopted—has a right to appeal to its own municipal laws to settle the matter in dispute. There fore : " `Neither Austrian decrees nor American laws can be properly invoked for aid or direction in this case, but international law furnishes the rules fora correct decis sion ; and by the light from this source shed upon the transaction at Smyrna are its true features to be dis cerned. Kossta being beyond the jurisdiction of Aus tria, her laws were entirely inoperative in his case, un less the Sultan of Turkey has consented to give them vigour within his dominions by treaty stipulations.' " The Secretary says the law of nations has rules of its own on the subject of allegiance, and disregards the restrictions of municipal codes. This is evident from the proceedings of independent States in relation to extra dition, special treaties being required for that purpose. International law allows no such claim. The case of Polish refugees claimed by Russia from Turkey in 1849, and Hungarians similarly claimed by Austria, are cited in point. The Sultan rejected the claims, and was sup ' ported by the opinion of the civilised world. Austria appears to have been aware that her right to sieze Kossta could not be sustained by international law, and she has attempted to derive it from certain treaties or ancient capitulations by treaty and usage. " Secretary Marcy denies the power of such treaties and usages as set forth by Mr. Hulsemann, for the rear son that those treaties and usages were relied on by Russia and Austria in 1849 and failed, and no treaties have been since enacted on the subject. The Secretary is brought, by a fair application of sound principles of law, and by a careful consideration of the fact, to this important conclusion,—that those who acted in behalf of Austria had no right whatever to sieze and imprison Martin Kossta. Kossta was seized without any right ful authority ; he was suffering grievous wrong ; any one that could might relieve him ; to do so was a duty imposed under the peculiar circumstances of the case, by the laws of humanity. Captain Ingraham, in doing what lie did for Kossta, would, in this view of the case, be fully justified. As a further justification of the act of Captain Ingraham, the Secretary proceeds to show that Kossta, when he was seized and imprisoned at Smyrna, had the national character of an American, and the Government of the United States had the right to extend its protection over him. " To prove this national character of Kossta, the Secretary cities his genuine certificate of declaration of intention to become a citizen of the United States, made in the city of New York, as the records of Court show. Foreigners, nay, and often do, acquire a domicile in a country, even though they have entered it with the avowed intention not to become naturalised citizens, but to return to their native land at some remote and uncertain period ; and whenever they acquire a domicile international, law at once impresses upon them the national character of the country of that domicile. It is a maxim of international law that a domicile con fers a national character. It does not allow any one who has a domicile to decline the national character thus conferred ; it forces it upon him, often very much against his will, and to his great detriment. Interna tional law looks only to the national character in deter mining what country has the right to protect. If a person goes from this country abroad with the na tionality of the United States, this law enjoins upon other nations to respect him in regard to protection as an American citizen. " Secretary Marcy proceeds further to show that Kossta was a citizen to all intents ; that Lis absence from his United States domicile was only temporary ; that he had, therefore, a right to claim the protection of the American flag ; and that the agents under that flag had the right to protect him. If there was an improper use of a national ship it was an Austrian agent who first made it, and thereby compelled the act of Captain Ingraham. Therefore the President does not see cause for disavowing the acts of the American agents com plained of by Austria. Her claims are respectfully declined. " In conclusion, the Secretary says,— " Being convinced that the seizure and imprisonment of Kossta were illegal and unjustifiable, the President also declines to give his consent to his delivery to the Consul-General of Austria at Smyrna. But, after a full examination of the case, as therein presented, he has in structed the undersigned to communicate to Mr. Hulse mann his confident expectation that the Emperor of Austria will take the proper measures to cause Martin Kossta to be restored to the same condition he was in before he was seized in the streets of Smyrna on the 21st of June last.' " The Washington Union, in the course of a leader on the subject, presents the following facts : " It will be remembered that the Austrian Govern ment several weeks ago, and immediately after the occurrence of the Kossta affair, permitted itself to give to that transaction, and to all the negotiations to conse quent upon it, a very unusual aspect, byaddressing the principal European Cabinets, in advance of any com munication to the Government of the United States, a circular letter of complaint and protest against the course adopted by the American authorities. The speedy pub ,apparently not unintentional, of this circular, iicanthel eading European journals, from which, of course, it was widely copied in this country, was manifestly calculated, if not designed, to invoke from other go vernments and nations not immediately interested in the transaction of a premature judgment in regard to it, which, as resting upon a mere ex parte statement, could not be considered as fair or free from undue bias. It is to be regretted that this departure by the Go vernment of Austria from the established usages and proprieties of diplomatic intercourse should have been so far countenanced by the Cabinets of St. Petersburg and Berlin as to induce those Governments to assume the position of voluntary parties to the controversy, by in structing their representatives in Washington to inti mate to the President their general concurrence in the view taken by Austria of the proceedings in the case of Kossta. It is gratifying to state, however, that the Go vernments of France and Great Britain, to which the Austrian circular was equally addressed, have deemed it proper to proceed in the premises with a far more praiseworthy circumspection. It is understood, indeed, that the Cabinet of Paris has not failed to make known to that of Vienna its disapprobation of the proceedings of the Austrian functionaries in regard to Kossta at Smyrna, even upon the Austrian statement of those proceedings ; and that the view it takes of the transac tion looks rather to the maintenance of the right and ter ritorial sovereignty of Turkey than to the interests or pretensions of Austria. The Government of Great Britain, though it has made known to that of the United States the fact that its attention has been drawn to the subject, has yet given no intimation that it regards the course of the American functionaries in the transaction as open to censure. Under these circumstances, it is evident that Austria, in advance of any claim upon us for satisfaction, and in a manner wholly unwarrantable, has arraigned the Government oftheUnited States before the tribunal of the other great Powers of the world for the conduct of its agents in the affair of Kossta. This extraordinary pro ceedinga has left to the President no other course than he at once to give to the world the reasons upon which an rests the vindication of the American functionan e the views applicable to this case upon which hisps'olicd y is based." The yellow fever at New Orleans had ne arly died out. The deaths from that cause on the Ist inst. did not exceed 15. The amount of custom-house duties collected at the United States ports for the last fiscal year was $58,731,865 52c. General James Tallmidge, r daopen Pre sident of the American Instit ute, has ex p ired sud denly in New York. The comet had crea ted a sensation among the negro population of New Orleans. assembleOdnoan Saturday night niiht about 500 of them s t re tching forth their arms, c ommenced space, and/ singin , , it turned out that a fanatic a l negro preacher had told his congregation that at 11 o'clock on that night the comet would come in collision with the earth and demolish it, but those who were found with their arms stretched to heaven, watching the coming of the catastrophe, and singing a hymn of welcome, were to be translated bodily into Para dise. In consequence the mob assembled, and the police made a descent on them, arrested 60, and the rest fled. The prisoners were fined 5 dols. each, or, in default, sentenced to 15 lashes each ! Presi dent Pierce was labouring under an attack of fever, which it was hoped would be a very mild one. During a ratification meeting of the " Hard Shell" democracy at New York, a platform on which the principal speakers were assembled gave way with a tremendous crash, precipitating all upon it pell mell among the ruins. Several persons were seriously injured, but none were killed. Accounts from Bermuda to the 24th ult. state that a malignant fever had broken out on board the convict hulk Thames, and communicated to the troops in barracks.

Letters from Newfoundland report the total failure of the potato crop. This, in connexion with the unprosperous fishing season, caused fears of a famine to be entertained. A very severe gale had occurred on the northern coast, and a number of fishing vessels, with their crews are reported to have been lost. The advices from Europe per the America, had a depressing effect upon the New York stock-mar liet. Erie Railroad shares opened at 79, and fell to 78 : Nicaragua shares f e ll 1 t o 1i ; Parker Vein, ; and Hudson River Railroad, Ito 1. The de mand for money continued active, and the rates of interest were high. Loans on call were quoted 7 per cent. ; three and four months' paper 8 to 10 per cent. ; and four to six months' paper 10 to 12 per cent. The imports of dry goods continued greatly in excess of last year, and a large amount of money was required for the payment of duties. The amount of surplus revenue in the United States Treasury on the 23d ult. was 27,503,090 dols., which has subsequently been increased to 30,000,000 dols.

The cotton market had been dull, with little or no change to notice in prices. The sales for the three days were 2,100 bales. The total export of cotton from the United States since the Ist of September, 1852, amounted to 2,529,119 bales, and for the same time previous year to 2,440,509 bales. The domestic dry goods trade continued active, both with the commission houses and jobbers, nearly all the leading cotton staples having retained their firmness, and in some instances better prices had been obtained. Woollen manufactures, on the contrary, had, with few ex ceptions, been sold at a slight concession in . prices. Holders of cloths, cassimeres, and satin ettes, evinced a disposition to close up their stocks,in view of the d ownwar d t en d ency o f th e raw m a t e rial. Brown sheetings and shillings continued in fair re quest at 71c. to 81c. for the leading heavy goods. Previous to the arrival of the Franklin the flour market was dull and prices tended downward ; but subsequently, under the influence of favourable advices from England, the market rallied and prices advanced 61 to 181 cents., the greatest advance being on good Stat e an d W estern. Pr i me Western wheat continued scarce, with a continued active demand for export. The market closed very firmly at an advance of 3 to 5 cents per bushel. The market for Indian corn closed firmly at a slight ad vance in price. Provisions without change. The iron-market generally was firm, and full prices were realised ; 1,000 tons of Scotch pig had been sold in lots at $37 to $37 50c. six months, and $35 cash ; 60 tons of common English bars at $65, and 300 to 400 tons of refined at $7O to $7l. Freights to London without change. THE GOLDEN AGE AMERICAN STEAM-SHIP. In outward appearance the Golden Age is very muck like the Collins' steam-ships. Her dimensions are as follow :—Length, 285 feet ; breadth, 43 feet 6 inches ; depth of hold, 32 feet; and 2,864 tons register. She has a beam engine of somewhat peculiar construction, with a diameter of cylinder of 85 inches, and 12 feet stroke. The boilers constitute the chief peculiarity. They are each 40 feet in length, and are fitted up with furnaces at each end, the smoke-funnel ascending from the centre. By this arrangement it is claimed that economy in both space and fuel is gained, and the truth of the proposition is very evident, as far as regards space. There are eight furnace doors at each end of the boilers. The hull of the ship was built by Mr. W. H. Brown, of New York. The lower frames are of live oak, and the top frames of locust and cedar. The entire hull is double diagonally braced with iron bars five inches wide by three quarters of an inch thick, and four feet apart. She is celled with eight-inch plank, the bilge kelsons are 14 inches square, and planked outside with six-inch plank ; 13 kelsons run the whole length of the ship. The Golden Age has accommodation for 1,200 passengers of all classes, the steerage alone being fitted up for the accommodation of 600. Two of the saloons, of which there are three, one above the other, are panelled in rose, satin, and zebra woods ; with crimson and gold plush and rich hangings, and adorned with mirrors. In the upper saloon the same general arrangements prevail, although in place of the satinwood panelling the sides are finished in white and gold. In this saloon are two "family rooms," one finished in gold, the other in blue, with lace curtains, mirrors, drawers, closets, &c. The Golden Age is the property of the New York and Aus tralian Steam Navigation Company, who propose con structing four or five more vessels of the same class as soon as their arrangements are completed. For the present she is intended to ply between Australia and Panama, and eventually between Australia and San Francisco. She will sail from Liverpool for Australia in a few days. STAMPS ON PROMISSORY NOTES.—In reply to a letter requesting to know whether a promissory note payable on demand, but not to bearer, drawn on a penny stamp, with the impression " On demand," be a legal security, Mr. Keogh of the Stamp-office has written as follows: " I am directed by the board to inform you, that the promissory note referred to is wholly worthless, and can not be properly stamped even on payment of a penalty. od T rr h a e tno r g e b c ot e rs n de t e rr act ndo orders rd P se a mfe r a l r i n a pd m a, y e ra n h t aes i n m t p e of nothings n money ea whatever d ht u ao t t ey thev of Id. bearerl 1 0 . with promissory notes, the duties on which are unaltered by that act."

The occasion of the quarrel was the casting of reflections upon the conduct of the husband, when he, in a state of excitement, kicked her with his foot on the abdomen, which produced internal hemorrhage. Seeing that his passion had led him to commit something serious, he immediately ran for medical aid, but it was unavailing, for the woman had little more than time to declare that her husband had given her a kick before she expired. In the course of the evening Anderson was taken into custody, and the case is to undergoe investigation.— Glasgow Herald. MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH BETWEEN LONDON AND MAN CHESTER.—The English and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company has very nearly completed the laying down of wires between London and Manchester ; indeed, yester day, the contractor's workmen had very nearly reached Ardwick Green ; and by Saturday next, it is expected that a communication will have been effected between the company's central office, New Broad-street, London, and the Manchester station, in the Exchange-arcade. We believe that, in the whole, ten or twelve copper wires, coated with gutta percha, are being laid down, enclosed in iron piping or wood troughs, the trenches for which are generally dug to a depth of 2 feet below the surface of the ground. The high road has generally been followed ; and among other towns, the wires pass through Birmingham. The laying down has been effected very rapidly, compared with what could have resulted if the old mode of laying wires through towns h a d been followed ; the advantage resulting chiefly from the manner in which the iron pipes have been cast, and which enabled the wires to be laid in them, instead of requiring that they should be drawn through. We be. lieve that it is not yet decided when the lino is to be & opene er d for the transmission of pu bli c M messages.— an test Guardian. FALKIRK TRYST, Oct. 1 0.—The last for the season of these annual markets was held to-day , commencing with the sale of sheep. The high roads, in consequence of the rain that fell the night preceding, operated much against the appearance of the sheep. The stock was very considerably above an average, and the extra num ber was mad e up by the heavy show of black and white faced ewes. The large prices asked in the morning had the effect of making business very dull, and no sales were effected before ten o'clock. At three o'clock in the afternoon never were there such a quantity of sheep of all kinds seen unsold at Falkirk Tryst. Never were prices so difficult to be obtained. .In consequence of the fall, Cheviot ewes and wethers, upon an average, suffered a reduction at the close of the market of from 3s. to 4s. a-head ; and the blackfaced of from 2s. 6d. to 3s. At the close of the market fully 6,000 sheep were unsold. Cheviot wethers brought from 28s. to 305., and, in one or two instances, so high R. 9 335. 3d. ; Che viot ewes, from 18s. to 265. 6d. ; blackfaced ewes, from I ls. 6d. to 18s. 6d. ; blackfaced wethers, from 20s. to 305., and up to 31s. MURDER AT SANTA CRUZ.— A fisherman, named An drew Cracovitch, a native of Hungary, was waylaid and shot by a Scotchman, named John Clare, on the evening of the 16th, on the beach at Santa Cruz. Some dispute had occurred between them relating to some fishing lines, or some such trifling matter, after which Clare re turned to the mission and purchased a pistol. Some three hours afterwards, as the fisherman was crossing the beach, Clare rose from behind a pile of lumber where he had concealed himself, advanced a few steps and fired, killing Cracovitch instantaneously. He was arreste d soon after, and on his examinationacknowledg ed . crime. On Wednesday evening, the 17th ult., t he citi zens proceeded to the gaol in which he was confined, took him out, and hung him on the spot where he com mitted the murder. He died without evincing any com punction for the deed, or apparently without the slightest fear.

The Conflict screw steam-sloop has made another trial to-day, in Stokes's :Vey of the boomerang propeller, the invention of Colonel Sir T. Mitchell, Surveyor-General •f New South Wales. Various experiments have lately been made by the Conflict with the common screw, por tions of which have been cut off, until at the last trial the surface left was reduced to that of the boomerang blade. The forms of the blades are thus described : That of the common screw consists of a sixth part of the whole screw, or helix ; that of the boomerang traverses a sixth part of the whole screw, or helix, diagonally, and has much less surface and weight. It was the opinion of some engineers that, if the blade of the common screw were cut down so as to leave the same extent of surface in the middle part as the Australian screw had in its traversing blade, the effect would be as good. The re sult of the experiments have proved the reverse. The common screw when deprived of 12 inches at each cor ner barely came up to the action of the boomerang blade, and when cut down by the removal of 18 inches more its action was less still. There evidently appears an advantage in the oblique blade and leverage of the boomerang, while its surface and weight are much less than are those of the common screw, the vibration being also less. To-day the wind was squally, its force vary ing from two to four on the beam. The revolutions of the engines were 671, and the greatest speed attained was in the last two runs at the measured mile, which averaged 9.804 knots per hour, the greatest average ever attained by the Conflict. In order to give an accurate conception of the exact results of the trials of the com mon screw and the boomerang, we subjoin the results of to-day's trial of the latter, and of three others of the first-named, made on the 21st of September and the 6th and the 7th inst., it being only premised that on the 21st of September the wind was a dead calm, and the ship only just out of dock, where she had had her bot tom cleaned : The Common Screw.—Trial of Sept. 21.

It first made its appearance on board the convict hulk Thames, stationed at St. George's, and soon went through the whole ship's com pany, there being no hospital ship to receive the sick. It very soon reached the troops in garrison and the townspeople. How long it would continue was uncer tain, as there was still a month or six weeks of hot wea ther to look forward to, and heavy rains were setting in in succession to an exceedingly hot season. It is stated that the Thames is beached at St. George's, under the Ba rrac k-hill , w h ere she has continued imbedded in her own filth for eight or nine years, without the slight est attempt at keeping her from the accumulation of filth. The immediate cause of the fever is ascribed to the fact that six weeks previously a severe gale occurred, in the course of which the Thames shortened her heavy chain moorings ' • they w ere consequently perm i tte d to work in the filth in which she was imbedded until the whole surrounding atmosphere was poisoned with the effluvia, and sickness was the consequent result. The Weymouth (another hulk) has been taken down to St. George's, and the survivors removed into her from the Thames. The _Bermuda Royal Gazette of the 13th of September, gives a list of the deaths during the last five or six days of August. It amounts to 81 persons, 40 of whom were convicts. Among the fatal cases is that of Lieutenant A. G. Woodford, 56th Reciment. Of this regiment 106 were sick, and 9 men, 1 officer, 4 women, and 2 children had die Of the 205 convicts only 25 have escaped the fever, and 50 have died. The Gazette says that the fever was less intense.
