C ORN ux . --, ‘ll EXCHANGE—MONDAY. !fell mg last week the arrivals of all kinds of Grain, as xsr Up to our markets coastwise, were on a et 3): imited scale ; and from Ireland and Scotland the iw ere l Pts were very small. From abroad the imports *044 °1 ? a com paratively trifling scale, they principally 10_ ting of 10,930 quarters of Wheat, 19,190 ditto of 1 4 : 1 1 8 1 and 7,321 barrels of Flour, chiefly from Russia the I t he the 'Unit ed States. Fresh up this morning Istin-ereaz, aonfa Wheat of home produce was on 11- 4 Tb e considerably larger than on Monday quality, however, owing to the prevailing 1"4471.es weather, was by no means first rate. The show of the cf . both red and white being tolerably good, and 14 ten dance of both town and country buyers by no Vras eitti j. g o od, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat ss active than on Friday ; nevertheless a large equal --n of the e supply was cleared off at prices about tO thoseobtiined on Monday last. On the whole t11,1i! trade may bo considered steady. With Foreign b eat We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, ;7PPlied. The best qualities of both Red and White the e re in fair request a t f u ll y l ast wee k' s currenc i es ; b ut M iddling and inferior kinds eommanded very little attention at late rtes. The ctual amount of bsiness 1 11Cl uded in any a description a was by no means large. ir, l show of M a lti ng B ar l ey was excee di ng l y smal l . 1474 article was in most instances h e ld f o r more %I le /. but which was not generally paid. k ih rlui ng and distilling sorts moved off at late rates. atti e i r nc Malt, ready for delivery, was in good request, ,fns a turn more money, and the value of all other kinds 144,48uPported in every instance. At the close of the '4et a good clearance of the samples, which were few unntaber, was effected. The arrivals of Oats from all lat i 4 te , rB , especially from our own coast and from Ire beueing on a very moderate scale, the Oat trade may Re ilinaidered steady for the best parcels, but in prices siti_lme no improvement to notice. There was a fair fo r Beans, at extreme currencies. In Peas, a full pri e ll Ce amount of business was transacted, at very full aek Indian Corn and Meal were quite as dear, with mode rate bus iness doing in those articles. Flour was in vaerate request at fully late rates. 'teat` CURRENCY PEI:. IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The supply of exteeng.:l S tock here, this morning, was again somewhat L T ve 1 viz., 730 Oxen and Cows, 3,140 Sheep and tio arn o u :' 67 Calves, and 42 Pigs. Although the condi effti t he Stock was very inferior, a good clearance was grt r. t ed, at fully last wet-k's prices. From our large districts the fresh arrivals of Beasts, up today, fir:somewhat less than those noticed on this day trlight, and their general quality was by no means stead -rate. On the whole, the Beef trade was very 6,Y, and, in some instances, the value of the best &c., had an upward tendency ; some few of them ii r n °(lll eing 4s Bd, (though the more general top quota - 1;4 ea were from 4s 4d to 4s 6d per 81bs), while the prices 4Zall other breeds were well supported.

There was a decided ailing off in the supply o f Sh eep, the numbers of which aver about 2,000 less than on Monday last, owing to ti Whic h the Mutton trade was firm, and last week's quota ons were supporte d i n every instance. The highest meßare for the best old Downs was 5s 2d per 81bs. There re several f ore i gn Sh eep in the market in a very lt eased state. The supply of Calves on offer was but rgctlerate. Prime qualities of Veal were in steady re 12'Pest, at full prices. In other kinds only a limited 11 siness was doin g , a t b are l y late rates. The Pork t rade was in a very sluggish state ; nevertheless the quotations paid last week were mostly supported. AND 1.211.8.DE1771.11.Z.L. A full average quantity of country-killed meat has mbeen received up to these markets during the past week ; et the quality has turned ou t very i nferior.

Prime Beef and Pork, ?era their scarcity, have commanded a steady sale, at :11 111 1 prices. Otherwise the trade has ruled heavy, and, some instances, the quotations have had a downward te ndency.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) Mr. Commissioner Shepherd was occupied all the morning in disposing of insolvency cases, but nothing of the slightest interest transpired. There are a great number of new cases in the list for the week on pe tition, filed before the 14th ult., in order to bring them on for hearing in this court instead of being dealt with under the new Act. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The October general quarter sessions for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning at eleven o'clock in the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, before Mr. Pownall and a very full bench of magistrates. The only business disposed of was the receiving from the collectors of different districts the several parish rentals, which was gone through in about ten minutes, after which the Court adjourned until two o'clock, when the new county rate was to be considered. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) John Holland, an elderly man, was charged by Eliza Fletcher, waitress at an eating-house in King street, with stealing a pair of decanters and a tumbler, the property of her employer, Mr. Whitfield. It appeared that the prisoner entered the eating room last evening, on pretence of inquiring for " a person named Barker." He appeared very anxious that the waitress should inquire of her master. Find ing that she would not leave the shop he went away, but continued to loiter about, occasionally looking in at the window. On the waitress leaving the room for a moment the prisoner stealthily entered, and was just " walking off" with two decanters and a tumbler, when she returned and discovered him. He was committed for trial. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) Charles Johnson and Edward Orpin, two sturdy young fellows, were placed before Mr. Hardwick, charged with loitering about the public streets for an unlawful purpose, and the former with assaulting the police-constable in the execution of his duty. Police-constable 56 C said he was on duty in Newport-market this morning, about five o'clock, when his attention was called to the prisoners and another man, who were standing in a doorway in Hayes-court. Thinking they were up to no good he went up to turn them off his beat. Directly the prisoner Johnson saw him coming up he made a rush at him, and struck him a violent blow under his jaw, and knocked him down in the mud. Witness sprang his rattle for assistance, when the prisoners ran away towards Castle-street. He pursued them, and came up with them in Bear-street, where they were stopped by another constable, who assisted witness to take them to the station-house. The prisoner Orpin did not strike him or offer the least resistance. In defence, the prisoner Johnson stated that the constable was the aggressor. If he struck the con stable, he only did so in self-defence. _ __ Mr. HARD - WICK committed Johnson to the House of Correction for one month for the assault, and as Orpin had not struck the constable he should dis charge him. _ Thomas Miller, a determined beggar, was charged before Mr. Hardwick with assaulting Police-con stable C 153. The complainant stated that, on the previous afternoon, about four o'clock he saw the prisoner beg of several gentlemen in St. James's-square. The gentlemen refused to give him anything, and told him to go about his business ; he then called the gentlemen a set of b-. Witness then went up to him and took him into custody. He had no sooner got hold of him than he assailed witness in a violent manner, and struck him in the face, kicked him on the legs, and threw him down. Witness called for assistance, and a person came to his aid and helped to convey him to the station. The prisoner, who is one of the worst and most abusive beggars in London, was committed to the House of Correction for six weeks, with hard labour. THAMES.—(THIS DAY.) James Donovan was charged with robbing Captain Francis Whitby, master of the brig Fame, of Whitby, of his watch, guard, chain, &c. The prosecutor stated that on Saturday evening he retired to rest, hanging his watch on a nail over his head in the cabin. About an hour afterwards he heard his mate crying out " Police" and" Stop thief," and he run on deck. Saw the prisoner and another man jump into a boat and row away. The mate said he was awakened by hearing some one in the cabin, and saw the prisoner make a snatch at his watch. He grappled with him, but the fellow made his escape. On returning to the captain's cabin they found his watch, chain, &c., was gone, and they immediately gave an alarm. George Reeve, a waterman, heard a loud cry of " Police" from some vessel, and saw two men rowing ashore. He pursued them as far as the Commercial road, when they took different directions. Witness pursued the prisoner, overtook him, and held him till a policeman came up. The prisoner declared he knew nothing whatever about any watch. Several policemen of the K division said the pri soner was a most notorious character. If time was granted no doubt the watch might be traced, his confederates being well known.—He was accordingly remanded for a week. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

Several members of the Jockey Club have arrived, and it is the general opinion that the attendance will be un usually large.

Slit,—The First October tryst at Newmarket has passed away, an d l e f t — t h oug h a su b stant i a l meeting — but a very dim shadow behind; in fact, though the racing for the First October neeting was excellent, yet with the ex cept i on of the " flare-up " for the Hopeful, it was of that peculiar nature which bears not upon future events, at any rate, those in the market.

In my opinion, in many in,tances, the owner, weather, ground, and money, have more to do with a favourite's winning than the horse itself; all these and many other points must be taken into consideration, before selecting any horse or horses to " stand" upon, for portents are useless, and nags, whether favourites or otherwise, be they ever such prodigies, provided the cash is against them, stand no more chance of winning " 'Biong men whose study, to a man, , Not be—get mpley how y ou can, THE R. ,EVENUE FOR THE YEAR AND QUARTER ENDING OCTOBER 10, 1847.

This is not the case in all instances, as a matter of coarse; there are many noblemen and gentlemen who run their horses on their merits; but as I said before, and now say again, to be a suc cessful speculator, you must study the owner, weather, and course, as well as the horse. I have been led into this tirade by witnessing the defeat of two or three "pots" in the last meeting at Newmarket, where, by the bye, I was not quite so successful as usual, having named Teetotum for the Hopeful, who was easily beat for the first place by Blaze; but bar the first-rate riding of Nat on Red Hart, for the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, I should have succeeded in placing the four in the order they arrived at the post. I however succeeded in placing correctly Foreclosure, Ziska, and Miami, for th e S t . L eger S ta k es; and named t he second and fourth for the Rutland Stakes. The Second October gathering on the Heath com mences on Monday, and extends over five days, having no less than forty-four stakes and matches likely to produce races, consequently the meeting may be termed plethoric, being the greatest Second October Meeting that has ever taken place by three races. The ball opens with a 50 Sovs. Plate; entries to be made the evening before running. A Sweepstakes of 50 sovs. each, 30 ft, for three yrs old fillies, over the Ditch Mile, has a do zen su b scr ib ers , but not likely to have more than three starters—Bridle, Mangosteen, and the Revelry filly, who will find their way home in the order placed. On Tuesday, for the Clearwell Stakes, a field of ten may be expected at the post, probably the following:— Crusade, The Empress, Vulcan, Sir Roland de Bois, Blaze(6lb extra), Loadstone, Glendower (61b extra), The Architect, Cara filly, and Reflection. Although at the last moment the field may be curtailed of four or five, it will make but little or no difference in the result, the race must lay between that superior trio, Blaze, Glendower, and Loadstone. The latter having no penalty to carry, will have that advantage over the other two, and to him and Blaze I must look for the winner, Glendower third. The Royal Stakes will be a walk over for Red Hart. The Cesarewitch Stakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft, with 300 added by the Grand Duke Cesarewitch, is the most attractive stake of the meeting, and will probably have a large field of antagonists at the post, being part or whole of the following, viz.:— Yrs st lb Wolfdog 5 9 2 Inheritress Yrs st lb Bingham 3 6 4 Doctrine 3 6 3 Cosachia Tarella Tufthunter 3 6 2 Slander Congress 3 6 0 Rob Roy 3 6 0 Gaiety 3 6 0 (Hannah Raine Geraldine Deriades 3 5 12 Vanity Flitch Miss Whip filly 3 4 12 Cossack St. Lawrence a 8 2 War Eagle 3 8 1 Lady Wildair 5 8 0 Wood Pigeon 5 8 0 Humdrum Sheraton 4 7 2 . - Reminiscence 3 7 0 Cawroush 4 7 - 0 Rufus Giselle The Swallow Finvaragh Nottingham Of these, according to the distance and weight, Wolf dog, Lady Wildair, Doctrine, Cosachia, Geraldine, and War Eagle are the best, and will, or ought, to form the front rank at the distance. Six being too many to take against the field, I give it as my opinion that Mr. Clarke may perchance place them in the following posi tion:— Doctrine or Cosachia ...(Sharp) 1 LGaedrayldn Wildair .( ldai . ;.. T . o .. r W. Marson) . ..(Nat) 2 o 3 War Eagle ... ...(J. Marson) 4 Wolfdog F. Butler) 5 Cosachis, Geraldine, and Lady Wildair, I consider as the representatives of their respective years in this stake, and shall be much surprised if one of the trio do not pull me through. On Wednesday, for the Bedford Stakes not more than half a dozen will run, to be selected from the following: The Empress, Sir Rowland de Bois, Prairie Bird, Laurista, Tisiphone, Chapelgowrie, Sable, Lovelace, Fran • mean, and the Hussar; with two exceptions (Lovelace and Tisiphone) these are all dark, and from th e S a bl e divi sion I expect the winner will spring in the shape of Franciscan or the Prairie Bird. A Sweepstakes of 100 soya. each to Bridle, a filly by the Saddler out of Fauchon second. The 50 Soya. Stakes to Buckstone, Alpheca second, colt by Redshank third. On Thursday, the Bretby Stakes of 100 Sovs. each, h ft, for 2 yrs old fillies, will have Contessa, The Lady Augusta, Jenny Lind, Industry . filly, and Reflection for starters, with Jenny Lind the winner, the Lady Augusta second, and Contessa third. On Friday, the Prendergast Stakes, so thoroughly dependant on the issue of the Clearwell, may probably enough produce a panic in the ring should Loadstone miss the mark.

HEALTH Or THE METROPOLIS..--Mr. Walden M.P., held an inquest, on Saturday, at the Turk's Head, Turn mill-street, Clerkenwell, on Sarah Burridge, aged five weeks, the child of poor parents, residing at No. 5, Cock-court. The mother stated that she had found the child at her side, and that she ,had a short time pre viously lost another child. The Coroner said that he had never before witnessed a more offensive appearance than the locality in which deceased lay presented. It was impossible to exist amidst such filth and wretched. ness. A juror observed that there were many other places in Clerkenwell more disgusting and dangerous to health than Cock-court, where the houses had not even a privy. The Coroner hoped that Government would lose no time in putting an end to such a frightful state of things; indeed ho was sure it would not. Verdict— " Natural death." AUGMENTED REVENUES FROM REDUCED RATES. —The receipts from the dock estates hero furnish an other illustration of the elasticity which cheapness im parts to everything dependent on extensive consump tion. Notwith - standing the reduction of 40,0001. per annum which has been made in rates, the dock receipts are reported to be equal now to what they were at this period last year; the amount then being 71,910 L, now it is 71,822 L; or, as the chairman of the dock committee explained it, whilst the reduction on the rates was about 13 per cent. on the whole income, the increase in actual business exceeded that of the previous year in the same proportion.—Manchester Guardian.

TRIAL OF M. DE BEAUVALLON. The charge of perjury against M. de Beauvallon came on on Friday before the Court of Assize. The circumstances out of which this prosecution arose have been so fully before the public that it is neces sary only to mention now the leading points. It will be remembered, that when M. d'Ecquevilley, one of the seconds in the duel between M. de Beauvallon and M. Dujarrier, was tried not long ago on a charge of perjury, M. de Beauvallon appeared as a witness, and deposed to certain facts, which the Jury, by their verdict against M. d'Ecquevilley, declared to be false. M. de Beauvallon, being contradicted by other evi dence, was ordered into custody, and after an inquiry by the Chambre des Mises en Accusation, a warrant was made out for his trial before the Court of Assize. The chief point in the evidence of M. de Beau vallon, on behalf of M. d'Ecquevilley was as to the pistols which were used. Beauvallon strenuously denied that they had been tried by him in the garden of d'Ecquevilley, at Chaillot, whereas other witnesses deposed that they had. On Friday, after the usual interrogatories as to the age, profession, &c., of the prisoner, M. de Beauvallon was asked by the President whether it was not one of the conditions of the duel that the pistols should be unknown to either of the principals in the duel, to which he replied, that he was not aware of this until after the duel. Being next questioned as to the trial of the pistols in the garden of M d'Ecquevilley, he denied that any had taken place, or that he had made an appointment with M. de leynard to go there with him for that purpose. He stated that he was afraid M. d'Ecquevilley would not be up sufficiently early for the duel, and had resolved to go to his house to rouse him ; and as M. de Meynard had pro mised to accompany him, an appointment was made to that effect. The prisoner also denied the truth of the evidence of Madame Valori , who swore, on the trial of D'Ecquevilley, that he ( Beauva llon) had called on her, and told her that he was going to try the pistols. He was next reminded of the evidence of M. de Bertrand, who swore that, on the ground, he put his finger into one of the pistol-barrels and with drew it blackened, thus showing that it had been re cently used, and of the corroborative testimony of Dr. Guise. He declared that he was utterly igno rant of this circumstance. The President, having reminded him of the description given by M. de Meynard of the locality where the pistols were tried, the prisoner said, nothing of what M. de Meynard had stated as to what took place was true, and that he had gone to the garden to study the locality and invent the fable which he had recited in Court. He was next asked why he had concealed that the pistols which were used at the duel were the property of his brother-in•law, M. Granier de Cas sagnac. He said that he had not concealed it, but had mentioned the fact to several persons. In con clusion, he admitted that he had sworn, on the trial of M. d'Ecquevilley, that the pistols had not been tried by him (M. Beauvallon), and persisted in the assertion. The first witness called was M. de Maynard, who repeated the evidence which he had given in the former case as to the trial of the pistols, &c., by M. de Beauvallon. M. de Meynard declared that he had no animosity against the prisoner, and had given his evidence only from a sense of public duty. The prisoner said he believed that M. de Meynard had an animosity against him. It would be for his counsel, at the proper time, to state the cause. The President said the time had arrived, but the prisoner persisted in remaining silent ; observing, however, that the cause of animosity was of a nature to strike the court and the jury when it should be made known. At length, being pressed by the President, he said with some hesitation, that it was jealousy about a female. M. de Meynard, he said, had at one time paid his court to a female, and thinking he had been supplanted by him had resolved to be revenged. There was not, he added, a word of truth in what M. de Meynard had sworn against him. _ _ _ 11. de Meynard, with great energy, denied that he had ever entertained the feeling ascribed to him by the prisoner, and again declared that he had sworn truly, and from no other motive than a sense of what was due to justice. The prisoner produced some letters from a female, from which it would appear that M. de Meynard was much irritated against M. de Beauvallon, and had pursued her with his assiduities after wounding her husband in a duel. M. de Meynard protested that there never was any ground for this statement. He admitted that he had fought a duel with her husband, but asserted that he had always professed the most profound respect for the wife. He was not in Paris at the time when he was stated in the letters to have paid the visits there spoken of. Several other witnesses then gave evidence to the effect that De Meynard had told them, either before or after the trial of Beauvallon at Rouen, that the pistols had been tried in Ecquevilley's garden on the morning of the duel, and they deposed also to the truth of the o th er circumstances tending to prove that fact, which have already been recorded. Among these witnesses were M. Arthur Bertrand, M. E. de Girardin, M. Arnoux, Doctor de Guise, and Mlle. Valor'. The latter declared that Beauvallon had called on her, on the morning of the duel, to take de Meynard, with whom she lived, and had told her that he was about to practice pistol-shooting, previous to going to the duel. This witness also declared that she had nothing to do with the letters which had been referred to. When her evidence was concluded the prisoner's advocate exclaimed , "This woman has just sworn that her name is Valori, but that is not her real name." The witness, who was greatly agitated, cried, " I expected this observation. lam known under the name of Valori, but I have another name —that of an honourable man. I demand of the prisoner and his advocate not to commit the baseness of declaring it." The at Beauvallon. witnessthenwithdrew, casting an indignant glance It was then proposed to read the letters from the female. The Advocate-General said that the first, which was dated 15th April, 1845, and was addressed t o M. Beauvallon, had no post-mark nor proof of authenti city. It might have been fabricated, h e a dd e d , f or necessity of the cause, though he did not say it had been. The second letter had no post-mark, and he made the same observation with respect to it. The President proceeded to read the letter s , w hi c h appear to form th e principal point in the prisoner's defence. The first letter is as follows : "Paris, April 15,1845. "My dear Rosamond, —Many days have passed away, and no news from you! Alas 1 I, who do not partake your blind confidence in men and things, fear that some accident may have occurred to you in this long and painful journey. Have you passed the frontier without mishaps ? In treading the soil of Spain, that land in which there is no prison for you, have you found a little of that careless and sweet gaiety which your recent catastrophe had so com pletely driven from your heart ? Oh, no! lam cer tain you have not, for I always see you as sad and as much:in despair as on the evening of that unfortunate duel. If I were to live a hundred years I sh ou ld always recal to mind your despairing attitude, your abundant tears ; yes, I shall always see you walking in agitated and feverish steps before me, r e p ea ti ng incessantly, with emotion, " They have forced me to commit homicide !" I did not endeavour to calm that grief then, for it was natural, and did you honour. But now my riend, let me be permitted to act otherwise, and to tell you that God has seen you r tears, and accepted your repentance. Do not give way any more to grief, which would deprive you of that strength of which you have so much need in that exile which commences for you. Separated from your family and your affections, and distant from your country, you will feel a fatal isolation and mortal sad ness. To support them you must have all your courage. And then will come basenesses, calumnies, treasons ; for, at the risk of making you smile with your own incredulous air, I will repeat to you that there are many who are envious of you, and that you have even many enemies. I have never done harm to any one,' you will tell me, for you are incorrigible on this point. I, who have more experience, will answer you with my woman's obstinacy, that it is not neces sary to have done people harm to be detested by them ; it suffices to be superior to them in any respect. Do you believe, for example, that you will ever be forgiven your success in the world, your position at the head of a widely-circulated journal, your book so much applauded, and those honourable decorations which you have obtained at the age of twenty-four ? More is not required to heap up hatred around your name, especially when it is writ ten in all the newspapers, and in the ac count of a duel. Listen—l tell you that in less than three months you will pass —you, so good, so upright ; you, softness incarnate—for a bully, with a hard heart and pitiless hand. Till now you have lived in happiness, but now you will have to struggle. Arm yourself, then, with courage and resignation. I promise you to do as much on my part, for I also must have an ample stock of those virtues which I recommend to you. My life is so sad that it cannot be described—l see no one—l go no where. (Dur ing the reading of this part of the letter, the prisoner, after in vain trying to control his emotion, burst into tears.) When I say that I see no one, it is not strictly true. I alw_ a y s see, to my regret, your f r i en d M. d e Meynard. continues to whine out his love for me in the most lamentable manner. I should not have the right to complain too much, if his innocent declarations were confined to this ; but twice a day he regularly addresses me epistles written in a style which wouTed greatly amuse me in any other disposi tion of mind. You know that lam not a coquette, and that what would flatter any other daughter of Eve only wearies and fatigues me. Yesterday he carried his audacity so far as to present himself before me, and, taking a very dramatic attitude, he declaimed to me, without often failing in memory, a declaration overflowing with sarcasms and insulting allusions with respect to you. In reply I ordered him to withdraw ; what), making his shrill voice take all the tones of passion and mortification, he uttered an anathema against you which was worthy of the Bou levards. Ile knew, he said, that I loved . you, and that it was on account of you that I rejected him, and he concluded by declaring that he would be revenged on you. In truth, I know not to what length his anger would have carried him against you if I had not shut the door in his face. It is not necessary to say that I do not attach any more importance to the threats of this little gentleman than they merit. But I tell you that, because I desire to banish from your heart the excessive confidence which you have in people you call your friends. A. sincere friend, Rosamond, is still rarer than a faithful mistress. But I see you frown, so let us talk no more about it. Keep your illusions—may they be the companion of your exile, poor child of my thoughts! I expect my husband. —(Loud laughter in the court.) He is always on the point of leaving, but does not. He is so much occupied at this period of the year. I shall, no doubt, return to the country with him. Tell me how you have been received by your friends, Gene rals Narvaez, Mazarredo, Pezuela, Cordova —in short, tell me a great many things. My little daughter warmly kisses your friend. I can never reconcile myself to place • her at school ; and, be sides, I love to consecrate to her education those hours which I should otherwise lose in society.— (Smiles.) Adieu, and reply soon to your tiresome friend." On this letter M. de Meynard remarked, " At the time at which it was stated that I had the door slammed in my face, I was not in Paris 1 At least, to the best of my recollection I was not!" The President, addressing the prisoner, said, " Was not the letter written for the necessity of your defence ?" The prisoner's advocate declared that he would not answer the question ; but he observed that the tone of the letter showed that it was really written at the time it bore date. The President then read the second letter, which was of a similar nature, mentioning also in severe terms M. de Meynard's conduct in a duel with the lady's husband. The President having asked M. de Meynard if he desired to see the letters, he cried warmly, " No, I will not see them. lam indignant at the means that are employed—Pcannot understand the conduct of the prisoner or his advocate. It is said in one of those letters that I fought, and that—but let my witness at the duel be called, and he will say if any allusion was made with respect to it to M. Beauvallon. I could give a mass of proofs to show that my relations with this lady inspire me neither with passion, hate, or jealousy.—(Agitation in the court, M. de Meynard having spoken with great firmness.) On the return of M. Beauvallon this lady made reports respecting M. D'Eoquevilley." M. de Meynard was proceed ing, when he was stopped by the President, who told him that he had said enough. Some other testimony of an unimportant nature was then given, and the Court adjourned.—Galtynani. THE TREASURY AND THE COUNTY COURTS.—It appears from a Treasury circular to the Judges of the County Courts, issued on the 21st ult., that it is the in tention of the Government to carry into effect the provi sions of the 29th and 40th secs. of the Act 9 and 10 Viet., c. 95, for the more easy recovery of small debts and demands in England, by placing the Judges, clerks, and other officers of the County Courts upon salary, from and after the Ist inst. We sincerely hope that the Government will order that a sufficiently remunerative Wary be given to the sub-bailiffs, whose duties are really very laborious and difficult, and some of whom, especially in large agricultural districts, have had to travel a distance of twenty miles for the paltry pittance of is.

This is too bad, and the Lords of the Treasury ought to see that those men who do the hardest and most work are the best paid.—From a Correspondent. MINISTERIAL MovEuEmrs.—The Marquis of Lans downe (the Lord President of the Council) is expected to arrive at Lansdowne House from Bowood Park, Wilts, this evening or to-morrow morning, to preside at the Cabinet Council to-morrow.

McChlery occupied the chair. The seal of the eompany having been affixed to the register of the proprietors, The SECRETARY (Mr. H. Hill) read the following report The directors have much pleasure in stating that considerable progress has been made in carrying out the powers of the Act authorising the construction of this railway, and that the position of the company's affairs, as regards the present state of the works, and the prospect of future success, are highly satisfactory. "By the exertions of the Colonial Committee of Management, aided by the judgment of the engineer, Mr. Catherwood, several very valuable lots of land and buildings have been secured to the company, at a moderate price, in the most eligible part of George Town, which have all the desirable requisites for the establishment of a principal terminus. An advan tageous purchase has also been made of a piece of land in the immediate vicinity of the town, on which, besides its intended application to other useful pur poses, a manufactory of bricks is now in the course of being established, from which a great saving of expense in that article may be confidently expected. "No further purchases of land will now be required except for a site of the smaller terminus at Mahaica, and for a portion of the line of road of the railway ; and on this latter head the directors have every reason to hope that the expenditure will be comparatively light, for the majority of the proprietors in this dis trict have, since the last meeting, liberally ceded to the company, gratuitously, the quantity of land re quired on their estates for that purpose, and it is hoped that an equally favourable result will attend the renewed applications lately made to several others of the proprietors who are known to be most favour ably disposed to this undertaking. " Since Mr. Catherwood's return to the colony, a new survey of a part of the east coast district has been made, and an improved line laid down for that portion of the course of the railway, which possesses the advantages of shortening the distances between the termini, and of preventing all possibility of the railway being injured by any encroachment of the sea, and of affording increased accommodation to several of the estates on the line. " A plan and . section in conformity with this last surrey, have been duly registered in the colony, and all the other formalites required by the Act having been complied with, the directors have much gratifica tion in stating that the ceremony of ' turning the first sod' was performed on the 19th August last, by his Excellency Governor Lyle, who was attended by the colonial heads of departments, all the members of the committee, and numerous others, his Excel lency on this occasion evincing, as he has ever done, the lively interest which he takes in the progress of the works, and his desire to promote the success of the undertaking by every means in his power. "An account, in detail, of the progress of the works to the middle of August last, will be found in the engineer's report hereto subjoined; and the directors have the satisfaction of adding that they have also received a letter of a late date from Mr. Catherwood, in which, after repeating his convic tion that the line will prove highly remunerative,' he further says, 'Nor do I at present see reason to fear that the estimated cost (low as it Is) will be ex ceeded, or if at all, but by a comparatively small sum.' "In order that all proper dispatch might be used in the carrying out of this undertaking, the directors have, from time to time, sent out to the colony ex perienced artificers, in the selection of whom great care has been exercised, together with such a supply of machinery and implements as was calculated to further the progress of the works, and there now seems no reason to doubt from the last communication received from Mr. Catherwood, that within six months from the present time the first few miles of the rail way will be opened for traffic—an event of much imlortance to the interests of the shareholders—as the directors will be enabled to apply the returns from this source towards the further expenditure to be in curred for the works. " That due economy has been observed by the di rectors in the management of the fund entrusted to them will appear from the accompanying general statement of the accounts, which shows that out of the original deposits by the shareholders on the formation of the company, they had in hand on the 30th ultimo, the day on which the half-yearly accounts were made up, a balance of 10,7081. Os. 3d. " Liabilities, however, have been incurred on account of the company, for which it is necessary that immediate provision should be made, and anxious as the directors have naturally been during the pre sent depressed state of the money market to defer making any demand upon the shareholders, such a course is now indispensable, in order to enable them to meet their engagements becoming due, and to pro ceed with the undertaking. " They propose to limit the present call to 2/. 10i. per share, an amount which they trust will be readily responded to by the shareholders. " The directors cannot conclude without expressing their own unabated confidence in the success of this undertaking, and bearing their willing testimony to the zeal and energy displayed by the local committee in Demerara, and the engineer, in the performance of their respective duties. Their services have been hitherto very valuable to the company, and the di rectors continue to receive assurances from them that they will not relax in their endeavours to promote, in every possible way, the success of this undertaking. The directors have now to submit to the share holders a statement of the accounts of the company, from its formation to the 30th ultimo, examined and signed by the auditors." The accounts from the commencement up to the 30th of September showed the receipts to have been 63,1931. 14s. 10d., the expenditure 52,485/. 14s. 7d., and the balance 10,708/. Os. 3d. _ _ _ Colonel WARREN disapproved of the payment of 1,5001. a-year to the directors-1,0001. to the direc tors here and 5001. to those located in Demerara. He considered it an extravagant sum for the direction of a railway only twenty miles in length. The direc tors of the Colchester line, which was fifty-two miles in length, only received 600/. a year; and as he con sidered the sum too large, and that all the manage ment was on the other side of the water, and not here, he proposed that the sum should be reduced to 4001. The motion was not seconded, but Mr. A. F. RIDGWAY rose and opposed the motion. The sum, in his opinion, was not too large for the laborious and valuable services of the directors. They must not look to the length of the line for the means of judging as to the amounts which they should receive ; that was no criterion. They must look to the vast amount of labour they had devoted to their duties, to their careful examination of the resources of the country which the railway traversed, and to the care which they had taken to place their shares in the hands of bond fide persons. Mr. Ridgway entered at some length into the resources and increasing prosperity of the colony, and showed, from the increased consumption of the colony, how valuable the railway would become, and how necessary it was to give the direc tors cause to be vigilant in their service. He begged to second the adoption of the report. The CHAIRMAN said, at the last meeting 1,500/. was voted to the directors for their services for the ensuing twelve months. The meeting was a nume rous one, and the motion awarding them this remune ration did not come from the directors, but from the meeting. He questioned much whether they would get even one person to devote his time in the colony to the railway for 5001.

This morning the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Court, and the domestic household, attended divine service in the private chapel of the Castle. The Hon. and Rev. C. Leslie Courtenay officiated. The unfavourable state of the morning prevented her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert taking their usual early walk. The same cause pre vented the Royal Family leaving the Castle. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, accompanied by their Serene Highnesses, the Duchess Ida, Prince Edward, and the Princesses of Saxe Weimar, left her residence, Marlborough House, shortly before eleven o'clock on Saturday morning, for the terminus of the London and South-Western Railway at Nine Elms.:, Her Majesty suite consisted of Frances Lady Clin ton, the Earl Howe, the Earl of Denbigh, Sir Horace Seymour, Miss Seymour, Colonel and Mrs. Cornwall, Captain Taylor, Sir David Davies, Rev. G. T. Hud son, and Mr. Bedford. The Queen Dowager and party left the railway station by a special train for Gosport, to embark in the Howe for Madeira.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. Ozroan, OCT. 9.—The Vice-Chancellor (the Rev. Dr. Symond's, warden of Wadham) was this day nominated by the heads of houses, according to annual custom, before the commencement of term. This is his fourth year of office. The Professor of Pastoral Theology will commence his lectures on the 25th inst. The Rev. Messrs. M'Dougall, of Magdalen-hall, and Wright, of Queen's College, are about to proceed on a mission to Sarawak, in Borneo. THE TAY. The recent heavy rains have caused the river to overflow, and to cause great damage to property. The mills have been stopped, and the navigation seriously impeded. It is said that the water has risen 16 feet. The two Inches are entirely covered, the water being over the parapet wall between the one on the north of the town and Rose-terrace. In the shops in North Port and west end of Castle Gable, and all the places upon the same level, the depth is about five feet. The Edinburgh road which passes through the South Inch, being raised two or three feet above its level, is yet passable, although it also is partially covered. The damage up the country must be fearful. The con tractors for the bridges across the Almond and Tay, now constructing for the Midland Railway, must be large losers, as the quantity of wrought timber which has floated past the town is immense. A great num ber of men have been employed the whole day in catching it in its progress towards the sea, and they , certainly have been very successful; but with all their exertions, what they have brought ashore is not a tithe of what has passed them. Carcasses of sheep and cattle, trees, stacks, apparently in as good order as they stood in the stack-yard, have all been observed in the course of the day in their progress seaward. It is also reported that a great number of Memel logs that were to be used by the Dundee Railway Com pany in erecting the bridge across the Tay, have been floated off Moncrieff island. One good effect of the flood will be to show the enginec.rs what they will have to provide against in the construction of their bridges ; a number of practical men thought that they were not enough alive to the importance of having them of the most substantial description. On Thursday the water rose fully another foot. Parts of the town, which it was thought would be safe from all inundation, are (says the writer of the ac count) getting under water by the bursting of the common sewers. The sunk flats in Rose-terrace and Barossa-place are now nearly filled to the ceiling. The Blair-Atholl coach, which should have reached this forenoon, has not yet arrived. It is supposed some of the bridges must have fallen. The Aberfeldy evening coach came about an hour after her usual time. Some parts of the road were so Itooded that the water covered the seats inside. It is reported that the whole of the s c aff o ldi ng , erec t e d f or throwing the arches of the bridge across the Tay, at Kinclaven, has been swept away, and that one of the piers has gone along with it. A person says that, among other things observed floating past, was the carcase of a horse, saddled and bridled. The last accounts received state that the water was still rising, and that the Edinburgh road is nearly three feet deep at Marshall-place. During the gale on Thursday night, about ten o'clock, as Captain Neilson, of the schooner Johan Augusta, now under repairs in Victoria Dock, was pas-ing the north corner of the Custom-house, he was blown into the dock by a heavy gust of wind ; for tunately his cries were heard by the watchman of Arbroath Railway station, who lost no time in giving the alarm, when the captain was taken out and con veyed to the bath at Earl Grey's Dock, where, we are happy to be enabled to state, he recovered. The first Cabinet Council of the season will be held to-morrow, the 12th instant, at the Foreign-office. It is expected to be attended by all the ministers except Lord Minto, who is abroad. REPRESENTATION OF WINDSOR.—The Berkshire Chronicle says, " that there is a great probability of Colonel Reid being offered, by the Whigs, either a companionship, or a governorship of one of our small colonial possessions,' in order to induce him to retire from Windsor for the purpose of making an opening for one of the four members of tho Government, who was rejected by his former constituents at the last election." Colonel Reid has not expressed any intention to resign the representation and is about to leave for the Con- Anent. TILE MAILS.--- , SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 9.—The Ocean Steam Navigation Company's steamship Washington, Captain Heurt, arrived at Cowes late last evening, and landed the American mails, which were forwarded to this port, in time for the seven o'clock A.M. train this day.

HORRIBLE DEATH FROM MACHINERY.—On Sa turday afternoon an accident, by which a young man named Henry Ford lost his life under circumstances of a horrible description, occurred at the St. Pancras steam sawing and plaining mill, Agar-town, Old Pancras road. It appears that about one o'clock the unfortunate deceased, having returned from dinner, went into one of the sheds where an immense circular saw, driven by steam power, is used for the purpose of cutting large logs of timber. The object the deceased had in going in cannot be ascertained ; but whilst he was in the ma chine was set in motion, and be was caught in the shoulders by the teeth of the saw. He shrieked, but before the machine was stopped the whole of the upper part of the body was nearly sawn through. On being brought out from the shed life was quite gone, the body presenting a frightful spectacle, It was removed to St. Pancras workhouse, where it awaits an inquest. EXPLOSION IN A COAL. PIT.—An explosion of fire. damp took place on Tuesday morning last at Bickershaw colliery, near Wigan, by which two ponies were killed, and several colliers seriously injured. The explosion is stated to have been caused by the firing of a shot. Th e mine has since been on fire, and the shafts have been closed to extinguish it.—Manchater Guardian.
