MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. .N 'cry moderate supplies of wheat were on sale in the 41 2 pa country markets held on Saturday. The demand ed steady at an advance of from is to 2s per quarter. Bt brley was in improved request, and the turn dearer. alt and oats, as well as flour, were firm. In other ar t) Iles very little was- doin g . Th e l a t es t accounts from t few York state that flour was rather lower, but that rheat was in improved request. The continental markets I t.ve continued very firm. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain 1 rere but moderate. From abroad we received 33,660 ruarters of wheat, 8,809 barley, 16,040 oats, 22 beans, 970 I >eas, 16,639 linseed, 256 rapeseed, 56 mustard seed, 1,846 undry seeds, 647 sacks and 14,311 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's earket, coastwise from Essex and Kent, were very mo lerate, and in but middling condition. From the East . oast scarcely any supply reached us, and the receipts by and carriage were comparatively small. As the a ttend- I nee of country buyers was large, the demand for all kinds 4 )f English wheat ruled active, at an advance in the prices >f Monday last of from 33 to 4s per quarter. In some few nstances 5s per quarter more money was realised. Notwithstanding that the show of foreign wheat was ;ood, there was an improved demand for that article, the currencies of which rose from 3s to 4s per quarter, coin ] )ardd with this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes were in - equest and dearer. Polish Odessa, 62s to 63s • Bordianski, 178 to 68s ; Taganrog Ghi r k a , 67 s ; an d Galatz, 55s to 56s !es qnai ter, all charges included. We had a fair supply of barley, which moved off steadily, t is per quarter more money. Malt was in but moderate supply, and steady request, at V ery full prices. The show of oats was large, yet the trade was active, at s per quarter more money. Both beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday I st. Indian corn was firm. The flour trade was active.

The following has just been published relating to ap plications for promotion in the police service : "POLICE ORDER.—The Commissioners issue, with the approbation of the Secretary of State, the following notice to the police of all ranks : Whereas it has hap pened in several instances that officers in the Metro politan Police service have attempted to obtain promo tion by means of applications from private friends, and whereas such practices are injurious to the good order and discipline of the service, notice is hereby given that all officers and constables in the Metro politan Police service are to understand that their prospects of promotion must depend on the report which their superiors may make as to their qualifications, and as to their conduct in the performance of their duties ; merit, and not favour, will thus be the ground of ad vancement ; and any one in the Metropolitan Police force who may attempt to bring interest to bear for the purpose of influencing the Commissioners to recommend them to the Secretary of State for promotion, or who shall apply to the Secretary of State for promotion, will be considered as having disqualified himself for the pro motion which he may thus have sought to obtain. — RICHARD MAYNE.—Metropolitan Police-office, 4, White hall-place, Sept. 16, 1853."

THE CHOLEEA. (From the General Board of Health, Oct. 22.) NEWCASTLE, Oct. 21. _ _ Cholera, deaths.. Diarrhoea, death The total number of cases of choleraic disease treated by the medical officers at Newcastle-upon-Tyne from the 21st of September to the 18th of October has been 4,683 ; of these, 3,706 have been cases of diarrhoea, 534 approaching cholera, and 448 cholera. During the same period there have been discovered by the house-to-house visitors 4,906 cases of choleraic disease, 4,580 of which were diarrhoea, 258 approaching cholera, and 65 cholera. In addition thereto, three corpses have been discovered in various houses in the course of the visitors' rounds. The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea in Newcastle, during the present outbreak, has been 1,524. In the same period (viz., the first 51 days), during the prevalence of epidemic cholera, in 1831.2, the number of deaths was 293. LUTON. Oct. 21.—Diarrhcea, death GATESHEAD.

Oct. 20.—Cholera, deaths DUNSE. 3 From a return of cases of cholera and diarrhoea in the parish of Dunse from the 27th of September to the 18th of October instant, made to the General Board of Health by Dr. M'Watt, the medical officer, it appears that there have been altogether 11 cases of " malignant cholera," 8 of which resulted fatally, and 3 recovered ; also 4 cases choleraic diarrhoea, all recovered ; and 20 cases of diarrhcca, likewise all recovered. These various cases have " occurred generally through the town," and chiefly among the better classes. The inspector of the poor remarks, that "of all the cases, both of diarrhoea and cholera, no pauper, with the exception of ono fe male 'belonging to the neighbouring parish of Edrom, has been seized with either disease." METROPOLIS. The Metropolitan Commissioners of Police this day transmitted to the General Board of Health various re ports by the Superintendents of the D, G, H, K, L, M, P, It, and Thames divisions of police, relative to cholera, from which it appears that between the 16th and the 20th inst. there have been 22 cases, of which 10 have resulted fatally. PROBABLE TERMINATION OF THE WIGAN STRIKE.— The Northern Daily Times has much gratification in being able to state that from a correspondence which has taken place between one of the principal master cotton-spinners in Wigan, and those employed by him, the differences between the master spinners and their bands are likely to be adjusted, and has good reason to believe that all the mills will again be at work in the course of next week. Mr. Eckersley has invited the bands in his employ to meet him, with a view to an ad justment of the differences between them. Mr. C. P. Roney, Secretary of the Grand Trunk Ca na-gun Railway, sails for England, in the steamer of the 15th instant. Upon his arrival Mr. Roney will we un derstand receive from the Queen the honour of knight hood for his extraordinary and successful efforts in getting up the Dublin Exhibition, which has done so much honour to Irish Ind us t r y. Mr. Roney, like Mr. Dargan, is one of the remarkable men of these times, and well deserves the honourable disti nc ti on w hi c h i s about to be bestowed upon him.—Montreal Herald. 50 20 11 10 50 40 25 25 OMNIBUS ADVERTISING.—A few days ago we copied a paragraph from a morning contemporary mentioning that advertising in omnibuses is prohibited by the new law now in operation. We have since received a letter from a gentleman designating himself secretary of an omnibus advertising office, giving us, in somewhat un seemly terms, the credit of originating the statement, denying its accuracy and asserting that this system of ad vertising as at present conducted is protected by the re cent act of Parliament. 812 s Clmitig Prices this day. 1 9 - 20 4 - 4 . 1 8 - 9 13 —ll dis 16 18 5i —44 d 93 95 48i 494 15 16 13 15 43 - 45 Patti' RAILWAYS.

THE QUARTERLIES. The Edinburgh. No. CC. Longman and Co. An entertainingaccount of " The Arctic Regions" lends a charm to the newly-published number of the "Edinburgh "—a charm which the reviewer could hardly have anticipated would be so speedily and considerably enhanced, as it has been by the re turn of Captain M'Clure to this country with in telligence that thelong-desired North-WestPassage has at length been discovered.

The development of the Eastern Difficulty has rendered a subject of double importance, the situation, at the present crisis, of the vast multi tudes of the Mussuhnan population. It cannot be doubted, therefore, that many will turn to these particular pages of our Whig contemporary : though we question very much whether their researches into the lucubration will be rewarded by any accession of enlightenment. Blame is cast by the reviewer upon the unsatisfactory nature of the argument advanced by Mr. Crowe in relation to this Oriental Question—while the critic himself cannot possibly be allowed to have acquitted him self in that argument to admiration. No argu ment be more loose in its ar nodeductioAnnocothueldr bere viewer in a chapter dedicated to the consideration of " Our National Defences," accords high praise to Mr. James Fergusson's novel and remarkable morermaenngte ar rangement, indeed n e e n x t e t ca o o s system of fortifications. The aid yielded to that thesegentleman's pages o t f h t e h o r e y E b d y i n t b h u e r g m h an willly time, we feel assured, to prove its importance as n su o p t p re o ci rt ui o re f m it uc i h n another means of securing to the new system the advantages of a popular and practical appreciation. The subjoined excerpt from the opening article for the quarter, that relating to " Church Parties," will be recognised, we are confident, as one fraught with a really startling significance : " As another mode of obtaining an approximation to the proportion of parties, we have gone through th e Clergy List, marking the na mes o f a ll clergymen whose opinions we knew, to the number of about 500. The result of this examination has been, that supposing those unknown to us to be in the same proportions with those known, we should be led to classify the 18,000 clergy of the Church of England as follows : ( Anglican 3,500 High Church i Tractarian l,OOO ' High and Dry' 2,500 Evangelical 3,300 Recordite . 'Low and Slow' Theoretical Anti-theoretical . 2,500 and about 1,000 Peasant clergy in the mountain districts, who must be classed apart." So much for the balance of " Church Parties" in the estimation of the Edinburgh—the new confu sion of tongues—the contention of broad church, low church, and high church, of high and dry, low and slow, of tractarian and recordite, of Anglican, evangelical, and theoretical. Mr. George Grote obtains from our Whig contemporary higher com mendations than ever, in consideration of the merits discoverable in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh, the three latest volumes of his "History of Greece" just published. Upon this subject the Edinburgh observes : Low Church Broad Church " Wherever the facts, authentically known, allow a consecutive stream of narrative to be kept up, the story is told in a more interesting manner than it has any where been told before, except in the finest passages of Thucydides. " We are indeed disposed to assign to thi3 history almost as high a rank in narrative as in thought. It is open, no doubt, to minute criticism ; and many writers are superior to Mr. Grote in rapidity, grace, and pic turesqueness of style. But even in these respects there is no such deficiency as amounts to a fault, while in two qualities, far more important to the interest, not to say the value of his recitals, he has few equals and probably no superior." An eulogium that (coining from so established au authority) must gratify, we doubt not, the heart of the laborious annalist of antiquity. The next ar ticle in the number, that referring to the subject of " Military Bridges," will be found by the more curious class of readers eminently well deserving examination, what though it may in title appear unattractive to the generality of the unprofes sional. The closing passages of the subsequent con tribution having reference to the long-agitated ques tion of " The Newspaper Stamp," are too excellent in every way to allow of our passing them over without quotation. " It would surely be superfluous to enter on argu ments showing that the British newspaper press, such as it is, free, copious, and able in discussion, has long been, is now, and probably will be for ever, the very life-blood of our political system ; and that those pro pose the infliction of a national ca,larnity,—a violence to the national tastes, habits, and interests—who thus pro pose to destroy the press as an engine of discussion, and to relegate political speech and power solely to the platform and the inverted tub. If that fact admitted of doubt, or required discussion, it would not be necessary to range over a larger period than that embraced in Mr. Cobden's own not very protracted public life, to find that, without the press, the platform sometimes could not exist at all, and sometimes would exist only for evil. There was a time, not low: , ago (though Mr. Cobden seems to have forgotten it) before the platform could come into play, and when the press was the only means of keeping alive and advancing the great cause with which his name is for ever associated—when League lecturers were pumped upon in the agricultural districts, and even in manufacturing towns Mr. Cobden himself could scarcely hold a meeting without a protection, by tickets, from Chartist and Protectionist inroads - and, for thirty years previously, this use of the press had been exem plified in the history of the whole class of questions of reform. Thereisa time at present—and Mr. Cobden seems to know it too sensitively—after the platform has begun to run riot, and when the press makes a stand against crudities and quackeries. , The platform is good, though not better than the press, when public attention is aroused and public favour gained, but in evil days the platform sinks away. It is .in a discussional press, as in an ark,'-that good causes are preierved when in ad versity, and from it, as from an entrenchment, that bad ones are assailed when they are prosperous. All this is known to every man that has kept his eyes and understanding open these thirty years. The press as it is —as contradistinguished from what Mr. Cobden would have it to be—is the chief engine through which during this generation political re forms have been wrought in a country where po litical reforms have been more numerous, peace ful, and beneficial than in any other ; and —now that the object is avowed—there may, perhaps, be fewer persons disposed to aid any change which tends to sub stitute for an engine so safe and so effective either the French barricade or the American 'stump.' " Added to the contributions already particularised, the Edinburgh for the quarter just commenced has an elaborate literary criticism on Taylor's " Life of Haydon," and an equally elaborate, though by no means equally entertaining, political criticism on the subject of " Parliamentary Purification." The Quarterly Review. No. CLXXXVI. Murray. A more attractive number of the Quarterly has not for a long time appeared. There are in it only seven contributions, but the subject of each will be found even by the generality of readers to be fraught with fascination. A peculiar interest, moreover, has been attached to the introductory article, the one relating to " The Institute of France," at the very moment of its publication. It was indeed "almost needless" for the writer to add in a note to the current number of the Quarterly, that the paper in question was "in type" before intelligence was received of the lamented death of M. Arago, one of the most illustrious of modern philosophers. " If we could have foreseen the event," sa y s t h e Quarterly " we could ha r dl y h ave spoken with warmth of his g en i us, though, " he adds, g re r v ea ie t w er er, , we certainly should not have selected such an occasion to comment upon what we thought his injurious importation of p o li t i cal feeling into the Particularly i a e d u m i a i r r i e y r s coupled will as that the rame n egi on a s e o h f o s n c o i e r i a l c b e i e . '.' remark is with this eulogistic observation—" It is satisfactory to reflect that while any party heats into which he may have been led have expired with himself, his discoveries and writings will always survive, to attest his right to be ranked among the most brilliant savans of the age." After all it can not be surprising that the Quarterly should lack sym pathy for the patriotism of M. Arago, however much it admires his genius as a philosopher—his patriotism having identified him iu a remarkable manner with the interests of democracy. An elabo rately minute and detailed account of the "Murder of Thomas a'Becket," is the next contribution. So carefully are the different statements authenticated that almost eve r y p age i s m i nu tely sown with foot notes—referring the reader to Roger and Grim, and Garnier, and Benedict, and Fitzstephen. This paper was avowedly suggested by the rece nt labours of Dr. Giles, just as s i Beauchesne. For the subsequent one was suggested by those of the third article in the Quarel relates the history children,y "King Louis the Seventeenth." of that most ill-fated of tll I m mediately afterwards we on the "Holy Places"— have a ne s essay y ill g the new crusade adventured -clad knights but by black-coated diplomatists. An excellent review of the " Dia r y of Casaubon " is then given by another cont r ib u t or to the Quarterly. Afterwards comes an admirable verreyco curiou s uei upon not by s t i e t essay c h a pter upon ff Electro-Biology and Mesmerism"— followed in its turn by a criticism on that " Life of Ilaydon" which 'for the last month or so has met us at every turn in our survey of periodical litera ture. Bipeds and Quadrupeds. By Harry Hieover. T, - C. Newby. The humanity which dictated this little essay is • something beautiful. Although insignificant both ' in extent and elaboration when compared with the other writings which have emanated from the same pen, we believe that, once perused, the argument here submitted to the public must ultimately prove calculated to extend, and that rather considerably, its author's reputation. It appears from the Pre • face that the original design was to have intrusted the composition of the treatise to ono of a profes sion more popularly associated with the inculcation ' of the sentiments of benevolence. From the am big u • ous phraseology employed in this part of the writer's • explanation we are led to conjecture that the au thor at first proposed must perforce have been an ecclesiastic. However this may be, that earlier • intention was abandoned, and the responsibility of bringing the projected volume before the commu nity was thereupon intrusted—the reader cannot but feel (after a glance through the pages of this unpretending production) most judiciously —to Harry Hieover, the Nimrod of Now-a-days ! It is as if Martin's Act were enforced by an illustra tive supplement. The . book reads like a sermon from the saddle. Not some dry, didactic discourse, not some puritanical and canting homily—but a genial and winning enforcement of theadvantages of universal kindliness—a lecture that might (for the most part) have fallen not inappropriately froai the • lips of the gentle Yorick ; an oration that might have been emphasised on the pulpit cushion by the fist of dear old Parson Adams; a pre lection such as excellent Parson Dale might, in one of his livelier moments, have declaimed to hishonest parishioners of Hazledean. Understand us we don't wish by any means to intimate that Harry Hieover has donned the white surplice in lieu of the coat of vermillion. No. If he has under taken, out of the most generous of motives, to argue as it were ex cathedra about the merit of " good nature," he may seem at times to be as tonishing us with a sermon, but at any rate it is, as we have already intimated, a sermon from the saddle. Throughout he never once attempts to travesty the sacred eloquence of your clerical ora tor or clerkly rhetorician. From first to last he never fails to remind you that it is a sportsman you are listening to, and not to a merely fantastic sen timentalist. In testimony of this, allusion may here be made to the change in the title of the book, an alteration effected by its author immediately prior to its publication. Originally it would seem that title was to have been, bluntly and going at once to the point, without any compromise or cir cumlocution— " The Cause of the Quadruped." Hear what Harry Hieover has to say about his rejection of that title and his substitution of the one under which the work now appears—that of " Bipeds and Quadrupeds." He observes (p. 11) in the preface—" I must confess the title was altered by myself, and must solicit pardon while stating my reason for the alteration. The cause of the quadruped only intimated that it was with an eye to his benefit the essay was written, and I feared such an i m p ress i on wou ld not be favourable to its circulation." Admirable. Under that apologetic explanation—how much satire ! How much deserved severity upon the egotism that lies at the bottom of our humanity, upon the self-seeking, that is, so to speak, th e almost invariable under-current of benevolence ! And so our essayist resolves to enforce the cogency of his argument about kindnes towards the brute creation, by giving the public, even on his title page, a notion that he is going to prove (as he does prove to the generality) that the system is fraught with advantage to themselves. An excellent pro ject which is here in this amiable little essay car ried to a delightful and eminently successful con summation. The volume, by the way, is proferred to his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, through the most graceful and courtly of dedications. Travels of an Irish Gentleman, in Search of a Religion. By Thomas Moore. Dolman. Respectful greeting is due to this remarkable and well-timed republication. Whatever his religious predilections, it would be impossible for any man of conscientious sincerity as a Christian to deny to these pages, from the hand of Thomas Moore, the regard which should ever be the meed of a seri ously minute and exquisitely cautious investiga tion. These are, in truth, the prominent and dis tinguishing characteristics of this singular display of logic and erudition. Whatever our own view as to the force of his deductions, it is altogether impracticable to deny that Moore evidently believed in his heart, and in his conscience, the conclusion at which the close of the work before us intimates that he had arrived. Its principal merit, indeed, consists in the sincerity of that conviction—the conviction in the author's mind of the necessity of that tremendous alternative. Diametrically oppo site though the inference drawn by the reader may be, nevertheless he must confess on laying down the argument with the last sentence still lingering in his recollection, that such was the serious belief of the writer when he penned it, and that that belief is cherished by many millions of the subjects of our gracious Sovereign. Therefore we cannot but hail, as an incident of some importance, the ap pearance of this valuable and curious repub lication. Hitherto, we believe, the "Travels of an Irish Gentleman in Search of a Religion" have been given to the public in two volumes, issued in a costlier form than suited the economic tastes of the general community. Compressed into one portable volume, the work is at length rendered accessible to the mass of the population. It cannot, therefore, we feel assured, fail, for this reason, and from other timely considerations, to command for itself a closer scrutiny and a more extended circu lation than has hitherto been accorded to it by our fellow-countrymen. As formerly, the book is pre faced by its simple but earnest dedication to the people of Ireland, while the text itself is profusely interspersed with the author's original notes and illustrations. As an additional attraction, the volume opens with a biographical and literary introduction, as succinct as it is undoubtedly perspicuous. For this paper the reader is indebted to the author of the " Memoir of Moore—a memoir of which the chap ter before us is the welcome epitome. Mr. Burke has in this biographical and critical essay combined the advantages of brevity with the apparently incon gruous merits of completeness. He has enume rated, with a few unimportant omissions, the diffe rent events which marked the career of Thomas Moore from his birth on the 28th of May, 1780, at Dublin, to his death in the seventy-second year of his age, on the 26th of February, 1852, near Devizes, in his little cottage-home at Slop erto n. Moore's education at Mr. Whyt e ' s school ; his con tributions at the age of thirt een to the Dublin Magazine called th Anthologia Eabernia ; entrance in 1793 into Trinity i nnC3, on ollege; his penning s his first political sati re , the " King of Dalkey ; his familiarity with the "patriots" im plicated in the political transactions of 1798 ; all the principal occurrences of his childhood, are care fully enumerated. W e are reminded after this of the appearance, in 1799, of Moore's first literary pro duction, his translation of "The Odes of Anacreon" —followed at intervals by his " Irish Melodies," and these again, in 1817, by " Lalla Rookh." Afterwards we observe Moore visiting Italy in 1819 with Lord John Russell penning his " Rhymes on the Road ;" subsequently " Alci phrou ;" then " The Loves of the Angels ;" then the "Fables of the Holy Alliance;" " Captain Rock," in 1824 ; " the " Life of Sheridan, in 1825 ; " The Epicurean," in 1827 ; the " Life of Byron," in 1830 ; in 1831, the "Life of Lord Edward Fitzgerald ;" and, in 1832, these " Travels of an Irish Gentleman in Search of a Religion." So that the last-mentioned work has survived an existence of just twenty-one years, and notifies the event of its " coming of age" in this very adinir able republication. I History of France. By Emile de Bonnechose. Routledge. Sufficient, indeed, for an English reader to know in regard to this " History of France, that it is "A work approved of by the Royal Council of Public Instruction and adopted by the Minister of War for the Special Military School of St. Cyr, a n d all the corps of the French .Army' —sufficient, we say, for the English r eader to know this to feel per fectly assured of the sterling merits of the work, of the impartiality of its statements, of their und oubted authenticity, and of their skilful a rrangement. Conscious of th is, Mr. William Robson, th lator of the p resent edition, himself ahead well " Michaud's y e trans story of k now n as the translator of Hi the Crusades, inscribes the above announcement upo n the very title-page.

The African screw mail steamer the Hope, Com mander Bowen, arrived at the Motherbank, Ports mouth, on Saturday night, from the west coast of Africa. It appears that when off Gibraltar an accident happening to her air-pumps, she had to trust to her sailing qualities. She is a very long, brig rigged vessel, both masts and spars apparently of the same dimensions. She bore up for this port in consequence of the heavy weather preventing her making Plymouth ; her mails andpassengers were quickly landed, and proceeded to London ; she met with tremendous weather in the bay. Her dates are—Fernado Po, Sept. 11 ; Lagos, Sept. 14 ; Accra, Sept. 16 ; Cape Coast Castle, Sept. 17 ; Monrovia, Sept. 22 ; Sierra Leone, Sept. 27 ; Bathurst, Oct. 1 ; Goree, Oct. 1 ; Tene rife, Oat. 8'; and Maderia, Oct. 11. She brings intelligence that war has again broken out at Lagos, which commenced on the sth of August, between Kin°. Akatoi and the pretender Kosako. This, howe'ver, after a little bloodshed, was put a stop to by Admiral Bruce, who landed a body of marines and blue jackets from the squa dron, and drove the pretender's forces before them. The boat operations were under the direction of Commander Philips, of the Polyphemus. The only casualties on the part of the British were a marine wounded and a Kroomau killed. Lieutenant Strickland superintended the field operations ashore. On the 3d September King Akatoi died suddenly, and his son Docemo was placed on the throne. It will be heard with regret that the Admiralty agent in charge (Lieutenant Charles Weatherhead Pears) died from decline on his passage home. Admiral Bruce, in the Penelope, had gone to the southward on the 3d of September. Polyphemus off Lagos ; Volcano ordered to Cape Coast ; Brito mart was at Sierra Leone; squadron reported generally as being in good health. The American frigate Constitution was at Cape Coast Castle, and the Marion frigate at Monrovia. A French squadron was collecting at Grand Basam to redress some gr i evance. The French sh i p Louisiana was wrecked off the Gambier. The American brig Clara had been wrecked off Sierra Leone, in a tornado. The Liberian Government had received a pre sent of arms and military accoutrements from the French Emperor. Since the last advices from Cape Coast Castle commerce had considerably increased. At Mon rovia trade was wonderfully ou the increase, although the season was generally dull, owing to the break out of the Lagos war. The Hope's cargo consists of about 8,000 ounces of gold dust, a large quantity of ivory, palm oil, bees' wax, gum, ginger, &c. Mr. Whitford, purser of the Faith, screw steamer, who was supposed to have been lost, to gether with a boat's crew, had reached Benin with out provisions or water ; he has come home in the Hope. AMERICA. By the royal mail steam-ship America, Shannon, commander, which arrived at Liverpool on Satur day, we have advices from New York to the 11th, and Boston to the 12th inst. She has brought 85 passengers, and 491,948 dols. in gold, and 7001. in silver on freight. The America passed the steam-ship Canada, from Liverpool for Boston, at 5.20 p.m. on the 12th inst. The steam-ship Star of the West had arrived at New York, with 816,670 dols. in gold dust, and advices from San Francisco to the 16th of Septem ber. The steam-ship Illinois had also arrived at New York from California with 1,218,811 dols. in gold dust on freight. The steam-ship John L. Stephens sailed from San Francisco on the 16th ult., with 1,362,473 dols. in gold dust, e,n, route for New York. Telegraphic accounts from Washington of the 10th inst. state, that Mr. John Y. Mason had been. appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Ple nipotentiary to France, and Mr. J. Higgins Consul at Cork. The Bew York Herald states that the following redemptions of United States stocks had been made at Washington during the week ending the Bth inst. :—Stocks redeemable in 1862, 42,000 dols. ; ditto, 1853, 23,500 dols. ; ditto, 1856, 23,700 dols. ; ditto, 1867, 298,850 dols ; ditto, 1868, 118,000 dols; the whole amount redeemed being 506,050 dols. The total number of interments at New Orleans for the 19 weeks during which the yellow fever prevailed were 10,960, of which 8,148 were from the fever. The yellow fever still continued very bad in the towns bordering on the Mississippi. Telegraphic accounts from St. John's, New Brunswick, state that the steamer Fairy Queen had been lost on the 7th instant between Pictou Island and the main, and several passengers drowned. The captain . and crew took to the boats and saved themselves, leaving the passengers to their fate. Eight of the passengers afterwards floated ashore on a piece of the wreck. The cap tain and crew had been arrested to await an inves tigation. From Havannah we have advices to the 3rd inst. The cholera had greatly diminished among the ne groes in the interior. The city of Havannah was very healthy. Trade was very brisk, and vessels of all kinds for freight were much wanted. It was in contemplation to extend the Calisco Railway to Cardenas, a step from which great advantages were sure to be derived. A norther of great severity but of brief duration was experienced at Havannah the 23d ult. Jamaica advices of the 2Sth ult. state the•,t the yellow fever had almost disappeared, and that the health of the island was generally good. The new governor had not arrived, and things remained in. static quo. The Jamaica markets generally were dull. Tonnage was greatly wanted, both for Eng land and the United States. Late accounts from Port-au-Prince state that the yellow fever, which had for so long a time ravaged the island, had disappeared. The country was in a quiet state, and advancing gradually to a pros perous condition. The accounts from California represent many parts of that country as being in a very di.turbed state from the depredations and opposition of the Indians. They had attacked a village near Guay mas, and killed 100 persons, men, women, and. children. During a sanguinary engagement be tween the Indians and inhabitants of Rogue River Valley the latter came off viotorious, killing ten and woundin g thirty of the Indians, al though they only lost three of their own number. Mining interests continued in a prosperous con dition ; and, under the operation of improved machinery, and by the application of science to the working of the mines, must continue to do so for years to come. At Butlersville, a new town 10 miles from Crescent City, from 40 to 50 miners were at work, who were making from $6O to $7O per day , and the diggings were supposed to be very extensive. Nearly all the population had left Crescent City to prospect the new diggin gs, ouss T et he de gs and, the accounts they brought were very mines of flattering. Gold had also been found in large quantities silver r lbon had a vi Placerville. hich Rales under about ngs of difficulty with the Mexican authorities A th r e ri b zo u n il a d: ago, have turned out to be of u some time News had been received at Guaymas nparalleled richness. previous to his departure, announcing a short time deposits of silver ore had been that immense zona, yielding a dollar's discovered at Arri of ore. The news worth of pure silver to 31b. among the inhabita produced great excitement had left Gu nts, and upwards of 1,000 men ayma s and Hermosillo, for the mines. RIS EIN THE P-7-RICE—OFPALE ALE.—At a meeting of the brewers of Burton-up on -T ren t, h e ld on t h e 19th, it Was unanimously resolved, in consequence of th e very great advance in the price of malt and hops, to raise the price of pale ale 6s. per barrel from that date. THE SUFFERANCE WHARVES.—The Customs' autho rities have caused a revised list to be prepared of the sufferance wharves and premises on the banks of the river Thames, with the privileges attaching to each wharf respectively. In issuing this newly revised list the board have deemed it expedient to give special direc tions with regard to such wharf as may at one time hereafter cease to be used for landing foreign goods, and be converted into private premies. The board have been informed that instances have occurred in which the proprietors, after discontinuing to use the wharves for the landing of foreign goods, have considered themselves entitled, without giving any notice, to resume the pri vilege, and the board have therefore directed in the event of the proprietor of a wharf ceasing to avail him self of the privilege granted thereto, and applying the premises to other purposes, the privilege be not per mitted to be resumed without the renewed approval of the premises being first obtained. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE.—Mr. Evelyn Shirley is at present the only candidate in the field for the Mpresentation of the southern division of Warwickshire, rendered vacant by the succession of Lord Brooke to the earldom of Warwick. Some meetings have been held for the purpose of organising a Liberal opposition, and it is said that a gentleman of high sta tion, intimately connected with the present Government, but holding no official position, will come forward, n ag ras ►at tea toil tep ing of so- iuli 'aed.
