C T 1 r• • t •Rai 4;;Z t e* A ;DO - TO • iiLo vying aim LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1847. The Anti-Gold-law League held its third public meeting last night. A new regulation was announced, the result of which will be highly beneficial. Every member, by the former rules, was required to pay an annual subscription of 10s. to the society, in return for which he was to receive the several publi cations that may from time to time be issued by the League. Although the amount was small in propor tion to the vast benefits that would be conferred upon the industrious and productive classes by the attain ment of the objects of the society, yet in the present difficulties and embarrassments of the country, and the want of profitable employment, the effect of our scanty and insufficient circulation, even that trifling sum is a matter of serious consideration to very many of the hard-working artisans and operatives, who would gladly lend their aid to reform the monetary laws, and to restore the national prosperity which, through the operation of these unjust and impo litic enactments, has been so fearfully impaired, if not altogether destroyed. They are aware that they are the parties most deeply interested in the question. Our wealthy merchant s may be impoverished, our trade and commerc e may rich be seriously, perhaps irre parably, injured. Thet ra der unaccustomedmay have t o relin quish his luxuries, and t o submit to pri vations ; but to the man who earns his daily bread by the sweat of his brow, who toils faororsmidays ou t o f ttiiyb Y seven, that he may supp or t hi s his ow n exertions, it is of still more v it a l importance. The former may, from the wreck of his p roperty, s omething to keep himself', and thos e morel) imme diately di a tely dependent on him, from a c t ua l want, but ; poor man's only capital is his labour, and if the demand ceases—if there is no longer a market for that labour, the consequences to him, and to those dearer to him than life itself, must indeed be fearful. 7She home that is as dear to him, and as highly valued as the magniaeent mansion is to the proprietor of countless thousands, must be abandoned. He can no longer enjoy the society of the partner of his choice, fbe participator in his jus, the soother of his cares, or of the helpless pledges of their mutual affection. Stern necessity will enforce their separation, and he must drag on a 'retched existence in the union workhouse, deprived of all that rendered life desir• able, becoming a burden on the national resources, instead of being the producer of the national wealth, and a valuable contributor to the national exchequer. Such will be the fate of the working man if matters are suffered to remain in their present condition, without some amelioration or improvement—if our rulers do not evince some sym pathy for the suf ferers, and endeavour to mitigate the evil, to relieve the general distress. The National Anti- Gold-law League desire to bring back our prosperity ; they point out the ciuce to wh;eh our clifri.rlmr4 may fairly be attributed, and they state the remedy. To ensure the ultimate triumph of their principles, they require the cordial co-operation of the people ; there is no person, however humble, whose services will not be valuable ; it is not the largeness, but the universality of the contribution, that will be effective. The committee have, therefore, wisely determined to make their association accessible to all, and with that view have lowered the annual subscription from 10s. to 2s. 6d., but those who pay the smaller sum will not be entitled to receive the publications of the society. Already the League numbers amongst its members persons of every shade of political opinion. Protec tionists and Free-traders, Whigs, Tories, and Radicals, combine together to get rid of the monster grievance by which all are affected. This is as it should be. Union is strength, and however w idely parties may differ on ordinary questions, there should be a general movement to attain a national benefit, in the advan tages of which all may participate. There are no parties in the State uninterested in the question, and it has not as yet been taken up as the watchword of any particular party. All may, therefore, exercise their own judgment free and untrammelled by party considerations. No person who is fully alive to the vast importance of the topic can suppose that the possession of office by any set of men, or the triumph of any party, is to be weighed in the balance against the monetary reforms that are so urgently required, so essential to the welfare of the country. As the Free traders made the repeal of the corn-laws, the aboli tion of protective imposts, and the destruction of every species of monopoly, the condition of their support, the Anti-Bullionists of the present day should pursue a similar course ; their first inquiry of any claimant for their suffrages must be what he proposes to do, with respect to the monetary laws. If he desires still to maintain the principle of the Acts of 1819 and 1844, he should be opposed in every manner, no matter how efficient he may be in other respects, and how fully his opinions on all other subjects may coincide with our own. But if he is prepared to repeal those statutes, and to introduce a system by which a sufficient circulation will be main tained at all times, and the currency placed on a sa tisfactory foundation, he will be entitled to, and should receive the most strenuous support. The present laws cannot be retained in their present state, the demand throughout the country from all classes for their revision is too powerful to be opposed. Some alteration will undoubtedly be introduced in the coming session of Parliament, but the danger is that the present mischievous principle may still be retained. To be really useful, to afford a permanent and not an evanescent prosperity, the golden basis must be altogether destroyed —every effort to main tain bullion at a fixed and unvarying price must be abandoned, and free trade in money, as well as in every description of commodity, must be granted— the last and worst of the monopolies must be abo' ished. Although there are few circumstances of a novel character in the intelligence received yesterday by :he Overland Mails from the Indian and Chinese terri- tories, there is sufficient to render the inquisitive ob server at home speculative as to the consequences of recent casualties in those dominions. It is impossible, through all the confusion of the petty dynasties and quibbling Governments of the Asiatic race, not to recog nise the gradual but luminous diffusion of those divine lights which stream perpetually from Christianity and Civilization. In spite of the blunders of preceding administrations and the turpitude of preceding ad ministrators, in spite of the spoliation effected by the more avaricious of the Europeans, and the excesses perpetrated by marauding adventurers from ;he west, the influence of those two congenial systems —the systems of Civilization and Christianity—is visible already in the social condition of the Oriental multitude. They betray their efficacy even in the midst of the depravities of a civic population, of the brutalities of a licentious military, of the intrigues of an unprincipled Durbar, of the cruelties of a profli gate Ranee, of the guile of a Wuzeer, and of the audacity of a Maharajah. Posterity will be able more readily to distinguish the advantages which have been ensured to the millions of Asia by the establishment on the southern extremity of their continent of a settlement of British merchants and missionaries. Those advantages have developed them selves and are developing themselves so gradually as to be scarcely perceptible even to the analytic scru- my of contemporaries. They will be discerned with distinctness after the lapse of half a century. Time and history will proclaim their progression. Among the more significant tokens of this advance ment on the frontiers of our Indian possessions, as recounted in our last dispatches, are, first, the possible transference of authority over the dominions of the NizAm from the hands of his Highness to those of the Company; and, secondly, the anticipated abdica tion of the King of DUDE in favour of the Anglo- Indian Government. Both of these potentates have, through their most barbarous policy, entailed merely wretchedness and degradation upon their unfortunate subjects ; both of them have con sequently forfeited all claim to the obedience and affections of the multitude. The glory of their dignity consists principally in a nominal elevation, and an exclusive enjoyment of various social and pecuniary dilemmas. Those dilemmas are entirely of their own fabrication--they are the deplorable results of their extravagance, and the • execrable fruits of their duplicity. In the territories of the NIZAM are manifest the bankruptcy of the executive, the in decision of the administrative, the anarchy of the people, and the desperate indolence and incapacity of the sovereign. In Oude there are only to be seen an abhorred ruler, an exhausted society, a relent. less and brutal Led soldiery, barrenness in the fields, idleness in the populous cities, poverty, despair, pri vation, profligacy, and continual recriminations every where. Every man in Oude is a POCOCURANTE in dis position, and a DIOGENES in want. The whole race stale, flat, and unprofitable." The re used up—blasé—" is an imperative necessity for their transference to some more vigorous and sagacious Government There is a lack of new institutions of such a novel and irresistible incitement as shall at once extricate the people from their lethargy, and thereby elicit from their industry and from the soil those resources which must restore them to comparative affluence, and prove singularly remunerative to their protectors. Among the miscellaneous information received by the Overland Mail, the most gratifying is the incar ceration' of the perfidious and debauched Ranee CHUNDA of Lahore in the fortress of Shaikpoora. Like another infamous Queen-Mother nearer home, she has been so long and earnestly striving to infuse some of her own duplicity and viciousness into the plastic intellect of her child, the young MAHARAJAH ,1 that it has become doubly and trebly advisable to re move her from such a dangerous contiguity. Her incarceration, while it may possibly injure her digestion, may correct her morals and contract her ambition. DHOONGUR SINGH - popularly known as the ABD-EL-KADER of Rajpootana—has still es caped, scatheless and powerful, although his influ ence has been somewhat deteriorated by the adroit capture of his follower JOWAEIIRJEE—a capture which redound s t o th e cre dit o f the party of Beeka neirs, comman d e d b y Li eutenant SHOWERS. Anot h er royal personage has been reduced, by the ordinary vicissitudes of the East, from the luxuries of command to the sorrows of captivity, in the person of the ex-King melled i n the ofN fortress E ps. Jr L o , f safelyv c.,evalpoo . tra r n Such is the situation of • affairs along the northern frontiers of llindostan, simultaneously with the de• parture homewards of Sir CHARLES NAPIER. In re ference to that distinguished Captain and enlightened administrator, we observe that the ;grumblers about Sinde are reviving their most splenetic and insidious allusions. It would appear as thong% the return to England, after a prolonged absence in the service of his country, of the Hero of Meanee and the Con queror of Sinde, were chosen by these malcontents as the most ungraceful opportunity for the ebul lition of their flagrant and calumnious ac cusations. The people and institutions of Great Britain are not, however, to be influenced by these shameless misrepresentations. They will evince a becoming gratitude for the patriotic civism and ir CHARLES NAPIER. brilliant achievements of S THE SUN, And we are sanguine that the Government itself W; 11 at fl'iS timP brl"ntlr t NX , ", me-,* jects of her Britannic MAJESTY—the one a voluntary, and the other an official promoter of our national glory—one in the Indian Peninsula, the other in the Indian Archipelago—the one in the heart of. Sinde, the other on the confines of Borneo—the Victor of Meanee and the Raja of Sarawak. It were injus tice in the people of these realms not to recognise the important services of these memorable labcurers in the cause of England and humanity; and it would be especial injustice in a British journalist not to invoke honour upon the heads of such men as Mr. BROOKE and Sir CHARLES NAPIER. Another grand political demonstration took place at Bologna on the 10th, on the inauguration of the bust of the PorE, which had been sent by the Ro mans in exchange for the Bolognese flag. The Government and municipal authorities, the National Guard, and all the population, took part in the fete. The Marquis POTENZIANA, who was at the head of the deputation, which was charged by the POPE himself to present the bust to the municipality, de livered a speech before Cardinal AMAT and all the civil and military authorities, in which, after recom mending union, energy, and prudence, he said that the POPE had addressed the deputation and himself as follows : " lam penetrated with the wise conduct of my very dear city of Bologna. Assure the Bolognese of my peculiar affection, and tell them that, among the consolations which Providence has showered on me, that of the union of my well-beloved subjects is not the least." Some other speeches were delivered, and among them one by M. GALLETTI, in the name of the Na tional Guard, in the course of which he said, that though Pius IX., as the Vicar of Gon, was obliged to preach peace, he was nevertheless an Italian, and protector of the national dignity ; and that if words of peace did not suffice, he would remember that the armour of JULES 11. had been suspended for three centuries on the walls of the Vatican, that before it many of the enemies of Italy had fled, and that the old Pontiff had written on it in his anger, " Expul sion of the foreigners !" This speech excited great enthusiasm. Letters from Berne of the 16th announce the arrival in that city of several persons who had been detained at Friburg, as political prisoners, and who had suc ceeded in making their escape. The Vorort having received news that the Lucerne troops had occupied the little town of Willisau, situated at about two leagues from the frontier which separates the canton of Lucerne from that of Berne, immediately sent an order for three battalions of in fantry and two companies of carabineers to march to the frontier of Lucerne. At a council of war held on the 15th, the vacant places in the Fedtral staff were filled up. It is said the emissaries from the Jesuits of Lucerne have been discovered distributing proclamations, inciting the Catholic population of the liberal cantons to revolt. We have received the Athens journals up to the 10th instant. A Bill had been presented to the Chamber of De puties, enacting that the sum of 500,000 francs, paid by M. EYNAJRD to the English Government, - should be corsidered a part of the public debt; that the shares in the National Bank, mortgaged as security, should remain in mortgage until the repayment of the debt; that the Government should be authorised to negotiate with M. ETNARD with respect to the periods of the repayment, and providing that the interest on the debt should not exceed 6 per cent. The insurrection is by no means put down, the insurgents occupy several strong positions in the in terior, and the troops sent against them have been unable to make the smallest impression. It was hoped that the differences between the Porte and Greece would be settled by the intervention of the Emperor of 'tussle. Madrid Papers of the 15th have arrived. On the arrival of CHRISTINA she was received by the KING and the QUEEN ; they were soon after joined by NARVAEZ and the Minister of Justice, and the whole party remained closeted together for some hours. According to the Espanol, Queen ISABELtut em braced the Duke DE RIANZARES with great apparent affection, to which the Duke, who had remaineil at a respectful distance during the first meeting of the royal mother and daughter, replied by kissing the QUEEN'S hand with great respect. On the evening of the 14th Queen CHRISTINA dined with the KING and the QUEEN. The Eco del Conzercio, in the course of an article on the reconciliation between the KING and QUEEN, after expressing sincere wishes for the happiness of the royal couple, warns them that the intrigues which caused their previous unhappiness are still in opera tion, and that the hand which disunited them before may disunite them again. Collisions between the QUEEN'S troops and the Carlist bands are of daily occurrence in Catalonia.. MADRID BoLai., OCT. 15.—The Three per Cents. were done at 27k, at 50 days ; the Five per Gents. at 17 for paper ; and the Debt without Interest;,, at 5i for cash. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday- There is much justice in the following observations ef,,the National on the retrograde tendencies of the French Government, and on the ardent desire m ani fested by the French revolutionary dynasty to rc pu diate its origin, and to sacrlfice the rights and Itber ties it was instituted to defend, pros ided only the absolute Governments will deign to honour it with a condescending smile. It is strange that M. Gu IZOT will not be warned by the past. When has. Prance formed an alliance with Austria which has not proved fatal to those who entered into it ? The Nation. al thus descants on the farce which has been now actir )g in France for 17 years : " Scarcely had the Government of the Bar ric ades been settled on the throne, when it devoted all its attention to make the Northern Powers for et the original stain with which it considered itself sm Ilied. Long were its efforts of no avail; in vain di.d it in the days which followed 1830 desert the cause , of the people in Poland and Italy. This base abando ment of the interests which it had the mission to protect and defend, did not suffice to overcome the d intrust of the old monarchies. Not being able to site teed with Austria and Russia, it flung itself into the arms of England ; but a day arrived when that al lit mce, which by an apparent contradiction, was born e with so much the greater servility that it was volu nt: arils chosen, broke to pieces before the dynastic in to rest; what had been refused for the honour of Fr m ce in 1840, in the first instance, and aftesry lards at Otaheite, was not a moment hesitated about when the Spanish marriages were the point aimed at. Thus freed from Great Britain., the French Government turned again towards the Northern Powers. To become the ally of A-ustria and Russia, h in fact the wish which it has cl - tel ished for the last 17 years, and to realise it it will no t recoil from any concession. It not long since let and be massacred, and at present it would allow Italy r to be annihilated. That perhaps is not enough; :tor we see it quite ready to give fresh pledges of its nduct. What is demanded from it ? To intervene i n Swit zerland, and openly assume the defence of the 4 :to; inter revolution ? Already it has furnished arms to the Sonderbund, and two days ago its journals tin itened Switzerland with an entry of troops. At such: a price will not the misfortune of its origin be at lens gti par doned ? If the following paragraph from the Jc 'urnal de Francfort is to be believed, the reconciliaticen is not to be long waited for. But what do we KIT? —the matter is already concluded. We learn from isa ource worthy of credit, that the three Northern Ills wers, in accord with France, will assume in the afEit irs of Switzerland an attitude indicating that in eg fie of need, they will intervene. In such case the! i nter vention, it is said, will be confided to Auetviii , and France, and the other two powers are to app ve of it and give it support. This extreme case cart only be an appeal to the powers to act, from the sirs tes of the Sonderbund. The powers think that"such ■ n in vitation wculd not only be justified by the Col egress of Vienna, but that it would be their duty to accede to it.' Thus we have here the Holy Alliance : recon stituted, with England left out. O n ce m ore t kings league togeth er against the populations.

Not only do the Reform I tl 1 1 .Aieuit)ers of the Utialn tier 0 nave lattlei to been jai 0: supporters of the dynasty, but men who until recently have been the personal friends and colleagues of M. GUIZOT, have become so disgusted with his betrayal of the principles of constitutional liberty that they too come forward to denounce him. At Melun, on Sunday last, a grand dinner was given to M. DROUYN DE LHUYS, a Member of the Chamber of Deputies, who was last year deprived of a place which he held in the Foreign-office because he did not approve of the whole of M. GuizoT's policy. The dinner was attended by above six hundred electors, several depu ties, upwards of thirty mayors of towns and villages, and several members of the councils -general. The speech of M. DROUYN DE LHUYS upon the occasion was very eloquent, and produced a great effect upon the auditors. M. GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT and M. GEORGE LAFAYETTE (son of the celebrated General LAFAYETTE), both Members of the Chamber of De puties, also addressed the company. At the Reform dinner at La Charlie on Monday, over which M. DUVERGIER DE HAURANNE presided, and at which 300 people were present, several of the National Guards of Nevers appeared in uniform, and the band of the regiment attended. Lille, Amiens, and Valenciennes are also to have their Reform banquets. In the meantime the Journal des Debats is endea vouring to justify the intervention of the French Government in favour of the Sonderbund, by adopt ing the Jesuitical interpretation of the federal pact, and contending fur the right of a minority to resist by force the will of the majority. This is certainly a strange doctrine for M. GUIZOT, the champion of " Government by Parliamentary majorities," to adopt, and we accordingly find in the Constitutionnel the following crushing rejoinder to his tricky plea:— " Is it M. Guizot who is charged to interpret the Swiss constitution ? Does he no longer admit the principle that the only legitimate interpreters of the constitution of a people are the powers legally insti tuted by that people itself, that is to say, by the ma ' jorities ? Does it depend on our Minister to declare federal or not federal, according to his good pleasure, such or such an affair concerning Switzerland, and in which it will suit him to take part ? What ! the ma jority of the Swiss cantons is not the legitimate in terpreter of the Swiss constitution ? Who is then, if you please? The minority perhaps ? Take care! Minorities are not wanting in France to declare that the French constitution is violated by yourselves. We do not think that they are always right; but perhaps also they are not always so much in the wrong as you pretend. But, in fine, what is it that you oppose to those minorities ? Who, according to yourselves, is invested with the right to declare that the Charter has been or has not been violated ? The constituted powers, the parliamentary majori ties. And yet you proclaim for Switzerland that the proper judges in such a matter are the seven states of the minority. But it is the principle 'of rioters that you thus lay down ! You are your selves factious at the very outset. What, according to you, when a minority judges that the constitution is violated, it has a right to take up arms, to purcha::e muskets and cannon from foreign powers; and if the powers outside have sympathies fur it, and adopt its judgment, they can send it cannon and grape to wage war, and can intervene in its favour ! You speak of Charles X., but just think a moment. Charles X. was precisely in the case of the Sonderbund. He made himself the chief of a minority in revolt against the parliamentary majority. The constituted powers had interpreted the Charter against him, and against the Jesuit party, which was his. It was to escape from that intepretation, to struggle against the law of the majorities, that he appealed to arms, and would, if he had time, have called in assistance from abroad. This comparison crushes you to the earth, and shows that you place the most wretched sophism at the service of the mo;t detestable of causes; you borrow your doctrines from insurrections, and you endeavour with them to serve the coun ter-revolution. We know of nothing more immoral and more disgusting than the spectacle of a Go vernment preaching up anarchical maxims, encourag ing disorders, selling arms for civil war, and exciting insurrection, in order to better fight against liberty, and to insure the triumph of the Jesuits, those European representatives of oppression in despotic states, and of counter-revoltition in free ones. To re capitulate—we defy the Ministerial journals to give, in this point of view, a reasonable reply to these simple questions :—ln federal states, is not the majo rity alone competent to decide such questions as in• terest the ensemble of these states ? Is it not alone competent to interpret the federal constitution in doubtful cases? Who, according to the Swiss con stitution, has a right to decide whether the Jesuit question is or is not within the federal jurisdiction ? Is it the majority or the minority ? When our Minis terial journals shall have demonstrated to us that all these rights appertain in Switzerland to the minority, or, in other words, when they shall have shown that carbine and cannon law is the true and sound con stitutional law of that country, we shall accord to them that our Ministry, in introducing arms and ammunition into Switzerland, to supply the minority against the majority, has not committed, for the benefit of the counter-revolution, an odious and intolerable violation of the right cf nations."

This was an action to recover the sum of 121. 135., the balance of an account for goods sold. The de fendant pleaded that he was not indebted, but did not appear to support his plea. The plaintiff is a woollen manufacturer, and de fendant formerly carried on business at Portsmouth. A difficulty arose in the case, for although defendant had remitted some money on account, he never ad mitted the amount of the balance. The Learned SECONDARY said that in such a case a notice should be given to produce the account deli vered, by which the amount might be ascertained, and in the ev en t o f t h e acco unt not being produced secondary evidence might be given. The jury had now to draw their inferences from very loose evi dence. The jury gave a ver dict for the amount. There was on l y one o th e r case not of the slightest interest. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) George Lee, who carries on business as a painter, at Turk's Head-court, Ch e lsea, was charged with fraudulently obt a i n i ng goods under false pretences from Mr. Augustus Radcliffe, wholesale window glass and colour manufacturer, of Chichester-place, Gray's Inn-road. The prisoner called upon the prosecutor in the month of August last, and introduced himself by saying he had been foreman to Mr. O'Donnell, one of the prosecutor's customers, and that he (prisoner) had got several houses to paint upon his own account. He showed him a bill of exchange for 231., upon a Mr. Day, who kept a banking account at Messrs. Heri les ' and requested Mr. Radcliffe to let him have goods for it, which he did, after making inquiries.

DON, FRIDAY EVENING, O'CTOTER 22, 1847. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was very heavy again. Sales, 3,000 bales, including 2,500 bales American at sd. to bid. per lb. Prices of Ameri can were id. to id. per lb. lower, and other sorts -id. per lb. lower.—Railway Shares were rather improving, and with a better demand. Midland Stock advanced about four per cent. There are accounts from South Australia to the 12th of May. There was to be an abrogation of special mining surveys. In the City there are various injurious rumours. Two or three country banks are spoken of as having stopped. People are more than ever satisfied that Government interposition will be afforded, because our position be comes too critical longer to permit of such extraordi nary inertness. The Money Market is not tighter for parties of good standing, but large advances are obtainable with the greatest difficulty. In contradiction to the state ments current, we have heard that Messrs. Little dale, of Liverpool, have not received assistance from the Bank of England (certainly not to the amount stated), and that there has been merely a promise of aid given in case the firm should need it. The sales of ,Stock yesterday were, therefore, not it is said, as re presented to be, on account of the firm, one of the part ners of which has sacrificed recently an estate of some value. It is impossible, amidst such conflicting rumours, to arrive at the truth. The Funds are very unsteady, but are buoyed up bette► than could be expected. Consols have ranged from 798 to 808 for transfer, and. from 798 to 801 for November. Exchequer-bills have been 275. to 325. discount. Bank Stock has realised 182- to 180. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 794 r to sq. There have been some rather large transactions. The Foreign Market is quite neglected. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 17. The Three per Cents. are nominally at previous rates, and Mexican rather better, owing to the payment made by Messrs. Lizardi of about 14,0001. of bills falling due.

Notwithstanding the arrivals of English Wheat during the present week have been on a very moderate sca le, the show of samples here this morning was more than equal to the wants of the millers, whose attendance was again small. For all descriptions —especially for the parcels left over from Monday —the demand was in a very sluggish state, and in some instances the quota tions had a downward tendency. Very moderate im ports of foreign Wheat have been received; nevertheless —owing to several large parcels being pressed for sale— the trade was heavy, and Monday's currencies were with difficulty supported. Barley was a very slow sale, and somewhat easier to purchase. Superfine Malt sup ported late rates, but all other kinds were ♦ery dull, at barely stationary prices. Oats were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper. In all other articles we have no change to notice. English ...... Irish. ........ Foreign •• • ... Wheat. 3,390 qrs. ARRIVALS. IHarley. 1,010 qrs. Oats.

The tightness in the money-market still continues to act very prejudicially to the Hop trade, which is in a mote depressed state than we have had to report for a series of years past at this particular season, con sequently prices rule extremely low. On speculation no sales have taken place this week, but for immediate use —the brewers purchasing with extreme caution—the transactions have been somewhat on the increase. Still, however, the quotations have again receded from 2s to 3s per c%t. Yearling and old Hops may be had at miserably low figures. The duty is called 190,000/.

Barbadoes, by auction, has been sold at 43s to 45s 6d per cwt. for fine yellow, and at 36s to 37s 6d for low yellow. Refined standard lumps have been at 52s to 52s 6d.

FIRE AT THE WHITTINGTON CLUB.-(THIS DAY.) A fire broke out in the kitchen of this institution about half-past four this morning, and burned with great fury till about seven. The engines of the fire brigade were soon on the spot, and the exertions of the brigade put a stop to the flames before very much injury was done to the main part of the establish ment, the kitchens, with three rooms over them , being in a second building at the back, connected with the main building only by a range of small side rooms. All the furniture in this back part, which v 95 very substantial and elegant, and had only been i! 1 use three months, is either entirely or partially de stroyed. The building itself does not seem to be substan' tially injured. The conservatory, which connected the back and front premises, was filled with sheets of plate glass, seven feet high, and nearly half an inch thick, which were cracked by the heat, and strewed on the floor like broken biscuit. The building and contents are insured in several offices. Of course the operations of the club will be stopped for a time ; but some parts of those operations, which are carried on at the offices in Cheapside, such as the classes, will proceed as before. -CONFLAGRATION at the SOUTII- EASTERN RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) This morning, about a quarter past eight o'clock, the greatest confusion was created in the immediate vicinity of the Bricklayers' Arms terminus of t 1 ; 6 „ South Eastern Railway, by a general cry of " Fire being raised. In a n i ns t an t a ft erwar d s smoke sr4:l flame were to be seen mounting a great height int ° the air. Intelrgence was communicated to the fire stations, and i n a f ew m i nu t es th e W ater l oo -roan brigade and West of England engines arrived, f° l ' lowed by others from the more distant districts' The firemen found a temporary range of shops, abo ut 300 feet long, and nearly 40 feet wide, in one 1 05 s, of flame. This place was filled with pitch, tar, O s ; other inflammable articles, one portion being us e as a dressing shop for tarpaulings, another part v ,ls termed the harness maker's work room, and the thi rd was used as a store house for rough goods. Shortly after the workmen had gone to breakfast a body of fire shot through the tarpauling shops; the P I made rapid progress, and it was with great difficulty that the vehicles and pockets of hops piled round the burning property could be removed. The firercen, under the direction of Mr. Connorton and 311 3 Henderson, the chief officers of the Brigade a nd West of England, set their hose to the plugs in tb e , yard, and a copious stream of water was scatte reu over the flames, which was extinguished by half-P at l s . nine o'clock, but not until the entire range of she ding was levelled with the ground, and the stock trade deposited therein consumed. The origin ° the disaster is unknown, but it i s genera lly supr se r a to have been caused by th e b o ili ng over o f a copP e of oil and pitch.
