During last week the arrivals of all kinds of Grain, as Well as Flour, up to our markets coastwise, were on a 14 7 limited scale ; and from Ireland and Scotland the receipts were very small. From abroad the imports Were on a comparatively trifling scale, they principally Consisting of 10,930 quarters of Wheat, 19,190 ditto of Oats, and 7,321 barrels of Flour, chiefly from Russia and the United States. Fresh up this morning the supply of Wheat of home produce was on the increase, and considerably larger than on Monday last. The quality, however, owing to the prevailing damp weather, was by no means first rate. The show of Samples of both red and white being tolerably good, and the attendance of both town and country buyers by no means good, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat was less active than on Friday ; nevertheless a large portion of the supply was cleared off at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday last. On the whole the trade may bo considered steady. With Foreign Wheat we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. The best qualities of both Red and White were in fair request at fully last week's currencies ; but the middling and inferior kinds commanded very little attention at late rates. The actual amount of business concluded in any description was by no means large. The show of Malting Barley was exceedingly small. That article was in most instances held for more Money, but which was not generally paid. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off at late rates. Superfine Malt, ready for delivery, was in good request, at the turn more money, and the value of all other kinds was supported in every instance. At the close of the Market a good clearance of the samples, which were few in number, was effected. The arrivals of Oats from all quarters, especially from our own coast and from Ire land, being on a very moderate scale, the Oat trade may be considered steady for the best parcels, but in prices We have no improvement to notice. There was a fair sale for Beans, at extreme currencies. In Peas, a full average amount of business was transacted, at very full prices. Indian Corn and Meal were quite as dear, with a good business doing in those articles. Flour was in moderate request at fully la e rates. CURRENCY PEIL IMP Wheat—Essex & Kent, 'ERIAL MEASURE.

The supply of /'oreign Stock here, this morning, was again somewhat extensive : viz., 730 Oxen and Cows, 3,140 Sheep and Lambs, 67 Calves, and 42 Pigs. Although the condi tion of the Stock was very inferior, a good clearance was effected, at fully last week's prices. From our large grazing districts the fresh arrivals of Beasts, up t o-day, were somewhat less than those noticed on this day se'nnight, and their general quality was by no means first-rate. On the whole, the Beef trade was very steady, and, in some instances, the value of the best Scots, &c., had an upward tendency ; some few of them producing 4s Bd, (though the more general top quota tions were from 4s 4d to 4s 6d per 81bs), while the prices of all other breeds were well supported. The droves from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, &c., comprised about 1,409 short horns ; from the eastern, western, and midland districts, 700 Herefords, runts, Devons, Irish Beasts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 800 of various breeds ; and, from Scotland, 220 horned and polled Scots. There was a decided falling off in the supply of Sheep, the numbers of which were about 2,000 less than on Monday last, owing to which the Mutton trade was firm, and last week's quota tions were supported in every instance. The highest figure for the best old Downs was 5s 2d per 81bs. There were several foreign Sheep in the market in a very diseased state. The supply of Calves on offer was but moderate. Prime qualities of Veal were in steady re quest, at full prices. In other kinds only a limited business was doing, at barely late rates. The Pork trade was in a very sluggish state ; nevertheless the quotations paid last week were mostly supported. TTEIRTGILTE AND sactaximriiirtza.. A full average quantity of country-killed meat has been received up to these markets during the past week ; but the quality has tamed out very inferior. 'With meat slaughtered in the metropolis we have been fairly supplied ; and 12 baskets of Beef and Mutton have been on sale direct from Hamburgh. Prime Beef and Pork, from their scarcity, have commanded a steady sale, at full prices. Otherwise the trade has ruled heavy, and, is some instances, the quotations have had a downward tendency. About 2,000 carcasses of foreign meat, slaughtered in London, have been on offer, and mostly disposed of at low figures. Per albs. to sink the offal. e. d. to s. d.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Nearly 500 tons of Potatoes have arrived at the water side from Kent and Yorkshire since our last, and 50 tons have come in from Hamburgh. By railway the receipts have been somewhat extensive, hence the demand here is in a sluggish state, on the following terms:—York Regents, 51 to 51 10s; ditto Shaws, 4/ 10s to 51; Kent Whites, 41 lOs to Si; ditto Kidneys, 4/ 15s to Si. per ton. 31:!OILOUGII BOP MAIMET.

Mr. Commigsioner Shepherd was occupied all the morning in disposing of insolvency cases, but nothing of the slightest interest transpired. Thera 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 Middlesexcornmenced 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. HARDWICK 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 o t 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. than a common hack cab-horse., This is not the case in all instances, as a matter of course; 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 sheu!d 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 the St. Leger Stakes; and named the 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 sous. each, 30 ft, for three yrs old fillies, over the Ditch Mile, has a dozen subscribers, but not likely to have more than three starters—Bridle, Hangosteen, 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 (6lb 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 sous. each, 15 ft, with 300 added b) , ,, 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.:— Wolfdog Yrs st lb .5 9 2 Inheritress Cossack St. Lawrence War Eagle Lady Wildair Wood Pigeon Humdrum - ... Sheraton .. Reminiscence a 8 8 3 8 6 a 8 2 3 8 1 5 8 0 5 8 0 4 7 7 4 7 2 3 7 0 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 Cawroush Rufus Gisello 4 6 12 The Swallow 3 6 12 Fiuvaragh Nottingham Of these, according to the distance and weight, Wolf deg, 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 Geraldine ...(Treen, jun., or W. Marson) 2 Lady Wildair ...(Nat) 3 .. ( . J.

Bultler) 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, Franciscan, , and the Hussar; with two exceptions (Lovelace and Tisiphone) these are all dark, and f rom t h 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 sous. each to Bridle, a filly by the Saddler out of Fauchon second. The 50 Sovs. 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. The Torrington Stakes may produce a race between all the entries, three in number; it will come off thus:—Sable first, Doubtful second, and Virago filly third. In conclusion, I shall attach the probable issue of the numerous matches:— st. lb. st. lb. 8 0 will beat Wilmot ... 8 7 8 7 ~ ~ Dr. Goodall ... 8 0 711 „ Craftsman ... a 5 8 5 „ „ Canada filly ... 7 8 8 5 „ „ Sotterby ... 8 7 8 „ Chainbearer 8 4 613 „ „ Miss Sarah ... 8 4 8 5 „ „ Lady Lurewell. 7 5 8 7 „ „ Cardinal's Niece 8 S 7 „ „ Watchdog ...

HEALTH Or TIIE METROPOLIS.-Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest, on Saturday, at the Turk's Head, Turn mill-street, Clerkenwell, on Sarah Burridgp, 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 he was sure it would not. Verdict— " Natural death." Since Monday last the imports of wool have been again tolerably extensive, viz., 2,120 bales from Sydney; 65 ditto from Bombay ; 101 ditto from Harnburgh ; and 100 ditto from various other quarters. Public sales of about 20,000 bales are expected to take p lace in abou t a . fortnight. Privately the demand for a ll kinds of wool is m a very inactive state; nevertheless , late p rices a re pretty generally supported, notwithstanding the supplies o n offer are seasonably large. AUGMENTED REVENUES FROM REDUCED RATES. —The receipts from the dock estates here furnish an other illustration of the elasticity which cheapness im parts to everything dependent on extensive consump tion. Notwithstanding 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/., now it is 71,8221.; 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 satne proportion.—Manchester Guardian. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. ROEBUCK.—We have been much pleased by a sight of a very handsome little piece of plate, which is now lying at the house of Mr. Wood, shoemaker, Claverton-buildings, Widcombe. It it a very elegant silver salver, embellished by workmanship of good design and chaste in execution, and bears the following inscription :—" Presented to John Artihur Roebuck, Esq., by the wives and daughters of the Libre ral electors of the ward of Lyncombe and Widcombe, in ;the city of Bath, anno Domini 1847. —Berth Journal. THE ECLIPSE.—The eclipse of Saturday mornit ‘g, so far as the metropolis is concerned, was deprived it t a great measure of its interest to the general obsery er, heavy clouds shrouding the sun during the principal ?c -ried of its obscuration. 12,820,671 " Exclusive ,11,608,80 , 1 of Advance: TALLOW.

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. D ujarrier, 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 Meynard 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 (Beauvallon) 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 I 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. Grapier 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 Meynard, 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, be 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 a ga i nst hi m . M. de Meynard, with great energ y, denied that he had ever entertained th e f ee li ng ascr ibed 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 priso ner pro d uced some letters from a female, from which it w ou ld appear that M. d e Meynard was much irritated against M. d e Beauvallon , a nd had pursued her with hisassid u ities after wo unding her husband in a duel. act otherwise, and to tell you that God has seen your 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 always see, to my regret, your friend M. de Meynard. -He 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 would 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 ; when, 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 Mend." 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 ! 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 be 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'Ecquevilley." 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.—Galiynani. 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 th e d ue l an d they deposed also to the truth o f t h e other circums t an ces tending to prove that fact, w hi ch have a l rea dy been recorded. , Among these witnesses were M. Arthur Bertrand, M. E. de Girardin, M. Arnoux, Doctor de Guise, and hllle.lori. 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 . ' woman has j us t sworn that her name is Valori, but that is not her real name." expected this observation. I am known under the agitated, cried, " I :her name—that of an honourable man.

Courts upon salary, from and after the Ist inst. We sincerely hope that the Government will order that a sufficiently remunerative ; salary be given to the sub-bailiffs, whose duties are really very laborious and difficult, and some of wbom, especially in large agricultural distric ts, have had to travel a distance of twenty miles for the paltry pittance of is. aid. ! the High Bailiff pocketing the other is. sad. ; three shillings and fivepence only being allowed on a claim of 20s. for that distance. 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 MOVEMENTS.—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. The Earl Grey is to leave Howick Hall, Northumberland to-day, for Datchet, near Windsor, whence his Lordship comes to town to-mor row.

"My dear .Ros a mond, —Many days have passed away, and no news from you! Alas ! I, who do not partake your blind confidence in men and things, fear that some accident may hare occurred to you in this long and painful jou rney. Have you passed the frontier without mishaps ? In treading the soil of Spain, that land in w hich there is no prison for you, have you found a l i ttle of that careless and sweet gaiety which your recent catastrophe had so com pletely driven from your heart ? Oh, no 1 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 should always recal to mind your despairing attitude, your abundant tears ; yes, I shall always see you walking in agitated and feverish steps before me, repeating incessantly, w i t h e motion, " They have forced me to commit homicide !" I did not endeavou r to calm • that grief then, for it was natural, and did you honour. But now ray riend, let me be permitted to FLANDERS MAIL BRUSSELS, OCT. 9.—The Minister of Finance has concluded a contract with M. Bishopsheim, of Amster dam, by which this banker charges himself with Treasury bonds to the amount of three millions for six months. This loan will be made at the rate of V. 4 per cent., without commission. ANTWERP, OCT. 9.—Last night this town was thrown into a state of great alarm by a fire, which broke out in the atelier of M. Hertoghe, a large builder; his workpeople bad been employed with candles till eight o'clock, and an hour atter they had left the premises were examined as usual. At eleven o'clock, however, the flames burst forth from the workshops and timber- yard, and although five engines were speedily on the spot, the whole of the premises were completely consumed, and the property, except a small quantity of timbers, completely destroyed. Several houses, manufactories, and shops in the vi cinity have suffered a good deal, among them that of Mr. Messon, a pen manufacturer, but the very energetic measures of the firemen, who put themselves into the greatest bodily peril, and whom it is impos sible to speak of too highly, prevented the further spread of the fire. A number of sailors also were extremely active. The flames are still smouldering among the ruins, and it is feared that they will again bursCforth. Among the objects destroyed are a num ber of railway carriages. HAmnuaan, OCT. Bth.—ln consequence of the failures in England our merchants hare lost about 150,000,000 of marks banco. At Bremen, one of the principal houses has been obliged to stop payment, and the consequences of the money crisis have begun to manifest themselves in several of the northern towns. BRUSSELS, OCT. B.—Five weeks have now elapsed since the tragical circumstances perpetrated at St. Guy occurred, and yet nothing has transpired that could lead to a discovery of the perpetrators. Suspicions are entertained that the preinafure death of one of the principal marble cutters of this city, which took place on the 3d, was caused by poison. The body was, therefore exhumed at the cemetry of Lacken yesterday, and will be subjected to a che mical analysis. MUNICH, OCT. 4.—The Chamber of Deputies of Bavaria have devoted a short sitting to the discussion and adoption of the project of an address to his Ma jesty on the opening of the present session. The most remarkable portion of the address is that relative to the new Ministry. The Chamber expresses its opinion in the following terms : " The Chamber of Deputies hailed with joy the new counsellors of the Crown as the mediators of those ameliorations for which it looks to the Legisla tive of the country, and it indulges in the hope of the speedy developement of those designs which have long been matured in the mind of your Majesty. Advance commensurate with the state of the times will strengthen the authority of the Crown by universal consent, and will elevate and secure to our country the exalted position to which she has been called, and which appertains to her." On the subject of commerce the Chambers says— " The dangers which threaten religion and liberty are the most effectually checked when the authorities of the State regard it as their chief care to consider faith and liberty of conscience as sacred. The Address concluded with such demands as the Chamber considers itself entitled to make to the King. The principal of these demands relate to an extension of the privileges of election, the ministerial responsibility, the publicity of open Courts, of judicial debates, liberty of the press, and a modification of the system and extension of public instruction. FOREIGN CORN AND HARVEST. PosEN.—Throughout the whole of this country. the harvest has now been gathered in, and, with very few exceptions, is universally rich, both in quality and quantity. In many places the farms are insuffi cient to hold the produce, and it is a truly interesting sight to see the immense quantities which are made into stacks. The other products of our fields and gardens are good. The vegetables and cabbages have suffered slightly from mildew, nor are our potatoes so fine as we could have wished, and it is said that in some districts the disease has again appeared. The vintage will probably be very fine, and we have a continuation of fine weather. ERFURT, OCT. 3.—We had a beautiful sight here yesterday (Saturday), the 2d. It was a preparation for the general thanksgiving which takes place in all our churches to-day, and which were per haps never so filled as they are now. Yesterday morn ing crowds of persons assembled in the numerous fields, and were then led by bands of the Legionary Society to the Dome Church, among the ringing of the bells from all the churches ; there the members of the society, who were stationed in various parts of the church, united in singing a hymn of praise with a feeling and force which came home to every heart. Many thousand voices then united in singing that favourite hymn, " Nun danket alle Gott," in which all assembled poured out the tribute of a thankful heart to him who has ro richly blessed our market and our store, with his unusually abundant harvest. The solemnity of the service was indeed a prepara tion for this Sabbath when our churches are com pletely filled. After the service was over, a treat was given to our orphans and other schoo!s, by taking them to Dietendorf by the railway, and there giving them a little feast. In the evening the burghers met in the hall, where they had a cheerful entertainment. —Hamburg Mail, Oct. 14. THE ARISTOCRATIC SMUGGLER. Start not, gentle reader, at the idea. The laws of a country are occasionally overstepped by the mem bers of every class—aristocrat and democrat alike commit occasional violations of their boundaries. The plebeian traveller secretes a small modicum of tobacco—the titled aristocrat secretes his gal lons of spirits. A nobleman residing at Lynd hurst, enjoying a foreign ducal title, and of great wealth whose equipage is daily to be seen in the streets of Southampton—has just been caught tripping, and the ruthless myrmidons of Government have pounced upon him for his offences. The noble man in question, we are informed, had recently occa sion to dismiss some of the domestics of his establish ment, who, in revenge for the conge, communicated to the authorities matters which had come under their cognisance in the mansion of their late master, and which led to the exposure of the delinquencies. On Saturday last the officers of Customs visited the ducal residence, and there seized eight half ankers of brandy, containing about 21 gallons, and a jar of rum, neatly stowed away in a chest, on which spirits the accustomed duty had not been paid. The goods were of course transferred to equally secure, though probably less secret quarters, at Southampton, watched over by her Majesty's trusty officials. On Tuesday an " official" visit was made to his Grace's yacht, lying at Cowes, which was alike taken posses sion of in the name of her _Majesty. So stands the mat ter at present. We believe that no further proceed ings have yet been taken, though there doubtless soon will be, as it is believed the " Noble Duke" has ren • dered himself liable either to the forfeiture of the yacht, or to the payment of a very heavy bond cus tomarily entered into by the owners of yachts, to abstain from such attempts to evade the revenue laws, in return for which engagements immunities are given which are not allowed to vessels of any other descrip tion.—Hampshire Independent. 0 • • • 10 " fo r ; ;Z IP o re! AO I SUPPLY AT 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 be 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.

SlR,—The First October tryst at Newmarket has passed away, and left—though a substantial meeting— but a very dim shadow behind; in fact, though the racing for the First October Meeting was excellent, yet with the exception 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. " So let it be; Portents and prodigies are lost on me." This exclamation, put into the mouth of Don Giovanni, applies exceedingly well to my case; racing portents are mere will-o'-the-wisps to lure on to destruction adven turous speculators in the odds; and equine prodigies, or what are termed such, blaze up momentarily in a very hopeful manner: then, when fortunes are invested on them their chance expires, a case of foreclosure on the cash ensues, and the public, through their own recklessness, ar e let in for it wholesale; ruin is sometimes th e consequence of this " potting" mania; " Our passions gone, and reason in her throne, Amazed we see the mischiefs we have done." i n m any instances, the owner, weather, have more to do with a favourite' s I g . nr winingomu n y d o , p at i nh n da i on, n r ane h y Orse itself; all these the and many other points must be taken in to consideration, before selecting any horse or horses to " stand" upon, for portents are o is against they ever such prodigies , p them, stand no more chance of winning " 'Meng men whose study, to a man, Dlurt be—get menu how y9n co)" MANCHESTER YARN AND CLOTH REPORT. (From the Stockport Mercury.) MANCHESTER, THURSDAY, FIVE O'CLOCK. 1 - On Monday the stoppage of the large mercanti l e and banking-house of Messrs. Rougemont and Co., and Messrs. John Thomas, Son, and Lefevre, of Lon don, for very large amounts, caused an unusual sensation here, as it was well known that the extensive Russian house of Messrs de Jersey and Co. derived their funds immediately from the latter source. All doubts, however, were at an end on Tuesday morning by the suspension of Messrs. de Jersey and Co. distributing liabilities through out the manufacturing districts variously estimated at a very large amount. This being one of the largest houses in,the trade for the exportation of yarn to Russia, some :idea of its magnitude may be formed from the fact, that during the shipping sea son 80 tons of yarn have been daily in the habit of being packed and forwarded to Hull for shipment. For a period of twentyyears and upwards, this mercantile house has, notwithstanding the im manse amount of engagements, successfully sur mounted every vicissitude of the times during that long period, and preserved its integrity inviolate, and its honour unsullied. Sanguine hopes are entertained that the firm will shortly resume payment. At the same time Messrs. James Nephew and Co., commis sion merchants, also announced their inability to meet the claims upon them which amount to 22,000/., 1 but being divided in many hands will on that account not be so severely felt. In Liverpool numerous failures are current, the must important being Messrs. J. and H. Murry and and Co., iron corn, or railway speculation, which has caused in cotton, corn, an un easy feeling to hang over that market, and daily to reducelve have prices pleasureo f colonial inu produce. anno n cing the continual payment by Messrs. Birley, Corrie, and Co whose business has hith er t o proceeded as usual, without the slightest interruption, having never been suspended. The practice yet pursued by the Bank of England, requiring all bills to be retired instanter, before due, when discounted by them, in cases of insolvency, calls loudly for redress, and has proved one of the most fruitful sources of disaster during the present crisis. The export demand for yarn and cloth, though quiescent, is not subdued—very little business has this week been transacted, but prices, under all cir cumstances, continue firm; indeed, the want of confi dence, and the fear of impending evil, operates with far more influence upon the market than want of oTders, The home trade continues lively. 'Aeq• ":~f~ v cOtnvii eine - LIAR: WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—Yefterclay his R yal fitgn4 ness Prince George arrived at the Castle, and had an audience of the Queen.

This morning the Queen and Ids 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 Courtenav officiated. The unfavourable state of the morning prevented her Almjesty 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 ‘Veimar, 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 Elais.: 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. The Earl Howe, the Earl of Denbigh, and Captain Taylor, returned to town on Saturday night, after the embarkation of her Majesty. The Duke of Cambridge, attended by Major Ste. phens, honoured the Lord Mayor with his company at dinner on Saturday.

Dr. Syrnond'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. C arcasses o f s h eep 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 etket of the flood will be to show the engineers 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 thein of the most substantial description. On Thursday the water ruse 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 flooded that the water covered the seats inside. It is reported that the whole of the scaffolding, erected for 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 scl;ooner Johan Augusta, now under repairs in Victoria Dock, was passing 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 w hy 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 in,tant, at the Foreign-office. It is expected to be attended by all the ministers except Lord Minto, who is abroad. RE PR ESENTATION OF WINDSOR.—The Berkshire Chronicle says, ‘‘ that there is a great probability of Colonel l'eid being of f ered , by the Whigs, ' either a companionship , or a governorship of one o f our sma ll colonial possessions,' in order to i n d uce hi m to retiro f rom Windsor for the purpose of ma ki ng an opening for o ne of the four members of th e G overnment, who was rejected by his former constituents at the last e:ection."

HORRIBLE DEATH FROM MACHINERY.--011 Sa turday afternoon an accident, by which a young man named henry Ford lost his life under circumstances of a horrible description, cccurred at the St. rancras steam sawing and plaining mill, Agar-town, Old Pancras road. It appears that about one o'clock the unfortunate &ceased, 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 ho was caught in the shoulders by the teeth of the saw. lie shr ieked, 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, I t was removed to St. Pancras workhouse, where it awaits an inquest. EXPLOEION IN A COAL .
