The East and West-end powers of B. MOSES and Sort are concen trated to resist the unpleasant invasions of North winds and all in auspicious seasons, and the success their new Attire for Autumn and Winter will have Is past calculation ; suffice it to say, all the fabrics that Art and Manufacture can produce have been carefully selected. All that skill and experience e• , uld* introduce for novelty and com fort has been incorporated for the production of Winter Attire, such as is destined to surpass that of any previous season ; and while all classes may avail themselves of the most fashionable and the cheapest Clothing over offered, the vast stock just prepared by E. MOSES and Sort will afford admirable opportunities for selecting the best Goods in each department of their gigantic Establishments. An unparalleled Stock of elegant and useful articles is provided in the Hosiery Department. The Hat, Cap, and Fur Section is rep lete with every novel intro duction for the season.

EASTERN AFFAIRS-CONFERENCE OF JEER MAJESTY'S MINISTERS. ( From the Times.) The Ministers now in town, constituting a ma jority of the Cabinet, met yesterday at the Foreign office, and held a long conference on the present anxious position of Eastern affairs. As the intelli gence which had called them together was not in itself of a perfectly distinct and decisive character, and as in a matter of such moment it will be ne cessary to await the arrival of the other Ministers, all of whom are hastening to the metropolis, some days will probably elapse before anything in the nature of a fresh decision can be expected. The intelligence which was the immediate occasion of the meeting was, that on the 26th ult.—a week later than the last reported dates—the Grand Council, a body consisting of about 140 mag nates of the Turkish empire, had recommended the Sultan to make a declaration of war. The force of that recommendation, and the probability of the Sultan's acting upon it, as well as all the particulars of the proceeding ascribed to the Grand Council, must remain matters of conjecture till the arrival of more exact information, which, according to the same telegraphic dispatch to which we are indebted for all that is known on the subject, may soon be expected by a courier via Marseilles. The news, as far as it goes, must be considered very un favourable to the hopes of those who have laboured for peace, but, at the worst, it must still be some time before those hopes can be given up, or any change of policy demanded on the part of our Go vernment. It does not act at all without France in the matter, and no communication has yet been received from Paris. The declaration of war by the Porte was a contingency contemplated in the instructions given to . Lord Stratford, who 'has thereby the power, even if subsequent instruc tions did not give it, to send for the fleet. He will, doubtless, do whatever he thinks best for the defence of the Sultan, and he will be fully supported in that policy by the Go vernment at home ; though, even in the event of an actual declaration of war, it may still be in our power to save the Porte from the consequences of that act without offensive operations. Lord Strat ford is understood, or rather supposed, to have dis approved the step taken by the Grand Council, and would probably do his best to delay further pro ceedings. The intelligence from Olmiitz is in all respects of less importance. Concessions and assurances have been ostensibly made by the Emperor at a time and in a form when they could be worth very little, in the face of the violently aggressive policy too clearly betrayed in Count Nesselrode's despatches. In these it has been scarcely disguised that Russia seeks to establish fresh rights in Turkey, and an influence never before possessed, so as to reduce the negotiation on the Vienna Note to a hollow pretence utterly unworthy of the great Powers and great interests concerned in it. It is true that Russia still pretends to demand what nobody has ever wished to deny her—viz., the maintenance of treaties, and of the status quo in religious matters. That she can have whenever she chooses to be content with it, but nothing more. In the interest of peace every effort has been made to keep Russia to her word, and to secure her all that she is entitled to, but all attempts at further encroach ment will be resisted, as they have been from the commencement of her present aggressions. In deal ing, however, with a Power that evidently seeks to gain time, and that is avowedly availing itself of a protracted negotiation to secure a position in which negotiation may be dispensed with altoge ther, it is obvious that, while many reasons might exist for friendly remonstrance at the first appear ance or suspicion of such conduct, a time must come when the mask will bo thrown off on one side and forbearance cease on the other. The full dis closure of the Russian policy cannot but give a new character to the resistance of the chief independent Powers of Europe. Such a pass must have been foreseen by the Emperor of Russia, who could hardly have supposed either that Europe would look on quietly at the sudden and unprovoked ir ruption of his hordes into the dominions of a peace ful and friendly neighbour, or that it would con tent itself with a barren protest and. a fruitless negotiation. But now that the Emperor stands arraigned at the court of common order, civilisa tion, and honour, as a causeless disturber of the public pease, the discrepancy between his fair words and his violent acts cannot but infuse some misgivings into a conscience not wholly deadened by power and ambition. The Emperor risks the peace of Europe, and does his best to light a flame which neither ho nor his sons may live to see ex tinguished—for what ? Either to obtain what he has not even a colour of right to, or, if we are to allow him a certain sort of honesty, to gratify his pride by rejecting some harmless modifications, ne cessary to allay the alarm of the Porte, and thereby to secure the Emperor's own professed intentions. This he does on the petty plea that they are pro posed by the Turkish Government, and that there fore his honour is concerned not to accept them, though ever so insignificant. For this the peace of Europe is to be jeopardised, and a struggle com menced which must indeed be ruinous to Turkey, but which will be so assuredly to other powers also, and not the least to that vast but poor and unman ageable dominion which threw down the gauntlet and defied the indignation of the civilised world. slopes attracted general admiration. Then the masses of infantry were suddenly moved to the right, and the cavalry to the left, to menace the flank of the supposed enemy, while the rockets flashed in golden curves over the heads of the eclaireurs upon the imaginary foe. In a moment the infantry came to a full stand, to meet a supposed cavalry attack, and a line of squares bristled with serried bayonets, and discharged a simultaneous volley. The infantry then advanced again, and, in conclu sion, the reserve intersected the interstices of the first line, and with shouts stormed the heights. There is a theatre in Olmutz, but the confe rences last usually to past midnight, and the dip lomatic personages (i. e., the Emperors, Count Buol, Count Nesselrode, Lord Westmoreland, and Prince Paskiewitsch, who attends all the con ferences) do not appear. The Cesarewitch, the Crown Prince of Russia, left last night, and the Emperor Nicholas leaves to-night or to-morrow. P.S.—The operations have closed with a splen did cavalry manoeuvre of the 11 regiments, alto gether 12,000 horsemen, under the command of Prince Francis Lichtenstein. The Emperor of Russia goes positively to-night, the train having been ordered for 10 o'clock. SUBSTANCE OF THE ACT TO REPEAL CERTAIN STAMP DUTIES, AND TO GRANT OTHERS IN LIEU THEREOF. From and after the 10th of October, 1853, the seve ral stamp duties now payable in Great Britain and Ire land respectively, for or in respect of the sevesal instru ments, matters, and things, described in the schedule to this act annexed, shall respectively cease and determine, and shall be and the same are hereby repealed ; and. in lieu and instead thereof there shall be paid in and throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland the several duties or sums of money set down in figures against the same respectively in the schedule. The duties of one penny by this act granted on re ceipts and on drafts or orders for the payment of money respectively may be denoted either by a stamp impressed upon the paper whereon any such instrument is written or by an adhesive stamp affixed thereto, and the Commissioners of Inland Revenue shall provide stamps of both descriptions for the purpose of denoting the said duties. Where an adhesive stamp shall be used, the person by whom such receipt shall be given shall, before the instrument shall be delivered out of his power, cancel or obliterate the stamp so used, by writing thereon his name or the initial letters of his name, so and in such a man ner as to show clearly and distinctly that such stamp has been made use of ; any person who shall give any discharge with any adhesive stamp, and shall not bona fide in manner aforesaid effectively cancel or obliterate such stamp, shall forfeit the sum of 101. Fraudulently removing from any paper whereon any receipt or any draft or order shall be written any adhe sive stamp, or any fraudulent act, contrivance, device whatever, not specially provided for by this or some other act of Parliament, with intent or design to defraud her Majesty, her heirs, or successors, of any duty by this act, incur a penalty of 201. Every person who shall agree to make, or shall re ceive any premium or valuable consideration for making, any assurance upon lives, or upon any event or contin gency relating to or depending upon lives, shall within cafe calendar month after the payment or giving of any such premium or consideration, make out or sign upon paper, duly stamped, a policy f such assurance or insu rance, and have the same ready to be delivered to the party entitled thereto, and shall upon demand de liver the same to him, or in default in any of the cases aforesaid shall forfeit the sum of 501. Every person who at the time of the payment or giv ing of any such premium or consideration shall be a managing director of or secretary to or other principal officer of any society or company receiving any such premium or consideration, shall be deemed to be a person making or agreeing to make such assurance or Insurance, and shall be subject and liable to this penalty. Articles of clerkship to attorneys of the County Pala tine Courts may be stamped for admission of the clerk into superior courts on payment of the additional duty only. Additional inventories in Scotland to be chargeable with additional duty only. No license granted to any spiritual person to perform divine service in any building approved by the bishop in lieu of any church or chapel whilst the same is under repair or is rebuilding, or in any building so approved for the convenience of the inhabitants of a parish resi dent at a distance from the church or consecrated chapel, shall be chargeable with any stamp duty.

Where property is sold in consideration of a redeem able annuity, the redemption money to be deemed pur chase money. _ _ Counterparts of leases not required to be impressed with a particular stamp for denoting or testifying the payment of the stamp duty chargeable on the original lease. When any deed or instrument shall be presented to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, and the fee of 10s. shall be paid to them for their opinion as to the stamp duty with which such deedwr instrument in their judg ment is chargeable, the said commissioners are now re quired to assess and charge the stamp duty on such deed or instrument, and, on the same being duly stamped, to im press thereon a particular stamp to signify and denote that the full amount of stamp duty with which such deed or instrument is by law chargeable has been paid. And whereas the said commissioners are not authorised to impress a particular stamp upon any deed or instrument not chargeable with any stamp duty in order to de note that the same is not so chargeable ; the commis sioners may now adjudge deeds not liable to stamp duty, and impress thereon a particular stamp, which shall sig nify and denote that such deed is not chargeable with any stamp duty : and every such deed or instrument upon which the said stamp shall be impressed shall be deemed to be not so chargeable, and shall be receivable in evidence in all courts of law and equity. An appeal from the determination of the commissioners may be had. Transfers of bonds and mortgages of public companies are exempted from stamp duty on payment of a compo sition. Persons authorised by Postmaster-General may sell postage stamps, or carry about same for sale, without being subject to penalty. No playing cards, except such as shall be bona fide spoiled and rendered unfit for use as playing cards in the process of manufacture, and which shall have a corner cut off, nor any cards commonly called or known as picture cards, shall be deemed to be waste cards ; and no playing cards, except waste cards, shall be sold otherwise than in packs, each pack containing fifty-two cards of the four usual suits of thirteen cards each, in cluding an ace of spades duly stamped for denoting the duty by the said act granted on a pack of cards, and tied up together ; and any person selling or keeping for sale any playing cards, not being a pack of cards as aforesaid, and the same not being bona fide waste cards within the meaning of this act, shall, for every pack, parcel, or separate quantity of cards so sold or kept for sale, forfeit, if he be not a licensed maker, the sum of 101., and if he shall be a licensed maker the sum of 201. Officers of Inland Revenue exempted from serving public offices. Stamps rendered useless by this act at any time within six calendar months after the commencement of this act may be cancelled, and allowance made for the same, as in the case of spoiled stamps. Provided always that any draft order drawn upon a banker for a sum of money payable to order on demand which shall, when presented for payment, purport to be endorsed by the person to whom the same shall be drawn payable, shall be a sufficient authority to such banker to pay the amount of such draft or order to the bearer thereof; and it shall not be incumbent on such banker to prove that such endorsement, or any subsequent en dorsement, was made by or under the direction or au thority of the person to whom the said draft or order was or is made payable either by the drawer or any en dorser thereof. _ _ . _ All the several sums of money and duties and compo sition for duties granted and made payable in Ireland by fifth and sixth years of her Majesty, chapter eighty two, and not repealed by any subsequent act, and also all duties now payable in lieu or instead of any of the said duties which may have been so repealed, shall be and the same are hereby continued and made perpetual.

NEW ROUTE TO AUSTRALIA. A contrast has just been signed between the Tehuantepec Railroad Company and Messrs. James Sykes and Co., of England, for the construction of a plankroad and a railway across the isthmus of Tehuantepec. The former begins at Suchil, the head of navigation on the Coatzacoalcos River, and terminates at Ventosa Bay, on the Pacific—a dis-. tame of 96 miles—and is to be completed in Nov. of next year. The railway is to begin at Minatilla, only 20 miles from the mouth of the Coatzacoalcos, and terminates also at Ventosa Bay. It is to be completed within four years, and will be 166 miles in length. This information will deeply interest British capitalists, and particularly all British sub jects who have any relations with Australia. The discovery of gold has transformed the penal islands of Great Britain into some of the most valuable ap pendages of her empire. Adventurers of fortune are now crowding the same ships aboard which, but a short time ago, home-sentenced criminals were driven into exile. It looks now as though she would soon abandon the old pathway Vasco di Gama opened for her around the Cape of Good Hope, for she has opened a shorter one across the Isthmus of Suez, and another still shorter is now being cut for her towards the occident. Nobody doubts that we shall soon see steamers cross from the western coasts of the British islands to Ha lifax in less than a week. The Grand Trunk Railway from that city to Detroit on Lake Mi chigan-1,100 miles —is under contract with Jackson, Peto, Brassey and Betts, of European renown, and the 11,000,0001. cash capital under British management insure the vigorous prosecu tion and early completion of this stupendous work. This road connects the north and south shores of the river St. Lawrence, at Montreal, by a tubular bridge upwards of two miles in length, which is under the superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephen son, who has done so much to enrich and consoli date the British empire. From Detroit—the ter minus of the Grand Trunk Railway through Canada —the present railroad line to the Gulf of Mexico will be shortly completed, much of it being already made. It will, therefore, be but a short time be fore the English traveller will find himself on the Pacific side of the Tehuantepec Isthmus, steaming towards Australia, in 12 days from England, having traversed the Atlantic, the British American pro vinces, the heart of the American continent through the Mississippi Valley, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Tehuantepec Isthmus, where he looks on the Pacific Ocean, and has passed the last obstacle which sepa rated him from a vast and golden hemisphere which his country owns on the other side of the globe. This sounds like fiction, and seems like a Utopian dream ; but within five years it will have grown as familiar to us as the nursery tales of good King Alfred, and not half so romantic. It is confidently alleged by the most experienced English and Ame rican engineers, that the transit from England by the inland railway route from Halifax to the Gulf of Mexico, and thence by steam to the isthmus, and across it by railroad, can never be exceeded or equalled by any other route, owing to the confor mation of seas and continents. A LADY DocTon.—The Italian Countess Belgiojoso, in one of her entertaining letters from a town in Asia Minor to the N.Y. Tribune, says that she is regarded there as a doctor of never-failing skill. The infirmity she has been oftenest and most ardently entreated to cure is sterility, not only in young subjects, but in old and decrepit ones. " A woman more than fifty, who had been blessed with fourteen children, came to me in a sort of despair, because the last five years had elapsed without bringing any addition to her family. I expos tulated in vain. In vain did I tell her that God's will ought to submitted to ; she would not be refused ; nor did she consent to depart without a potion and a hope." HUNTING SEASON AT LEAMINGTON.—The prospects of the hunting season in Warwickshire are highly encourag ing, not only to residents but to visitors. The demand for spacious mansions at Leamington has, we are as sured, never been more general or continuous at this period of the year ; and no house capable of affording the requisite accommodation to gentlemen with large studs of horses will remain long unoccupied. The South Warwickshire, under the mastership of Lord Willoughby de Broke, have received some draughts from the cele brated kennels of Lord Henry Bentinck, and are in all respects a better pack than has hunted the country for some winters past. The stud consists of several fine horses. There are in all the coverts an abundance of foxes ; and the huntsmen and whip, who are fresh men (having been previous connected with Oxfordshire), are well up to their work. On Thursday. last the hounds killed a cub on Hampton-wood in excellent style. The North Warwickshire, of which Mr. Selby Lowndes has undertaken the management, met at Wainbody-wood, near Stoneleigh, on Tuesday last, where they found three brace and a half of cubs, and some good sport en sued. It is generally considered that a finer pack than the North Warwickshire, especially of young hounds, could not have been selected. Mr. Selby Lowndes will take up his residence at Leamington in the course of a few days.—Leamington, Courier. TIEN-TELI, THE CHINESE USURPER.—In his habits he is silent and reserved ; he lives in close retirement, only showing himself occasionally to his immediate followers, and then only to issue his commands. His expression, though far from prepossessing, denotes mildness, com bined with great decision, and a degree of firmness verg ing upon obstinacy. His complexion is sallow, with a decided saffron tinge. In stature he is above the middle height ; and, though of about the same age, is taller and less strongly' built than Hiend-foung the Emperor, whose deposition he seems resolved, at all hazards, to effect. He travels in a palanquin enclosed with curtains of amber-coloured silk, borne on the shoulders of 16 officers of distinction ; his preceptor, or privy-councillor, or adviser, carried by eight coolies, follows immediately in his wake :and then come Tien-teh's thirty devoted wives, for all of whom he is said to possess the sincerest affection. They are arrayed in costly apparel, and fol low each other in single file, not, as they might on the shores of the placid Serpentine, in clarences orbroughams, but in commodious armchairs, picked out with vermillion and gold. A long retinue of servants and a vast array of soldiers bring up the rear of the procession, which is said, upon the whole, strongly to resemble those gorge ous affairs occasionally exhibited on the boards of the Lyceum.—New Quarterly Review for October. A POLITICAL " ASIDE."—Many of our readers, per haps, have witnessed the ceremony of bringing up bills from the House of Commons to the House of Lords. The Commons advance with a succession of bows, the Lord Chancellor meets them bowing his wig to his knees, the clerks of the House and the Masters in Chan cery bow more gravely than mandarins, and as fre quently. Upon the occasion to which we now allude, the Times of the morning had announced that the Chan cellor's wife had presented him with a daughter, and it was notorious that he would have preferred a male heir. The renowned Billy Holmes represented the Commons, and he brought up a bill to enable some country squire to grant leases of his settled estates. Ad vancing with three ceremonial bows, the great " whipper in" presented the bill, sayingo in a loud tone, "My Lord, a bill to enable— ;" then dropping his voice to a whisper —"you to have only male children." The Lord Chancellor took the bill, bowed with imposing dignity, and replied, " You be d—." About five persons heard the " asides ;" the rest of the spectators were much edified by the grave ceremonial.—Aew Quarterly Review for October. A SAILOR SHOT BY HIS CAPTAlN.—Captain Nattrass, of the ship Matanzas, was charged on Saturday before the Liverpool magistrates with this crime. The circum stances were these :—At Bahia, on the 26th of June, two of the crew refused to work. The captain called the men forward, and asked them to heave the anchor. They said they could not, as the ship was short-handed. One of the seamen, George Wake, acted as spokesman for the men, and though he said the men would work when the ship got out to sea, he, on their behalf, refused to heave the anchor, and said they would rather die first. Tle captain urged them to comply for his sake. Wake said they could not. The captain then drew a pistol, and exclaiming, "Take that, then !" fired at Wake. wounding him on the shoulder. Wake was removed to a hospital, where he was left in a dangerous condition. The British consul was informed of the affray, and he despatched the captain home in the Viscount Sandon. Nattrass was committed for trial at the next assizes; the magistrates miming to take bail. THE MILITARY CONGRESS OF OLMUTZ. bee efollowingvicinity e pour i onr oe of i readers te f hr s r i from 1 u t too the wa l e ze,n2S accompany of the Times, dated Olm t special correspondent Sept. 28 :—I must ny me to the camp i n n eThw th which is in the oppo site direction from the Tafelbe Fg, and its fortifica tions—that is to say, not to the west of Olmutz, but to the south-east. The manoeuvre con sists of a fine dead flat, formin g a triangle, rou n d the northern base of which is the river Bistritza, and the parallel road to Cracow bordered with poplars ; the south-west side converging to the apex is the Olmutz and Vienna Railway, while the south-east side is a steep range of hills outshot from the Hun garian Carpathians, extending from Grass Wister nitz to Teinitz, the whole spires of the churches breaking the green line of pasture and woodland ; the camp and manoeuvre-ground are of rich arable land, and cleared after harvest, and therefore very heavy riding after the rains, but in this good weather it is, with the ditches filled up, admirably suited to the purpose. The first corps d' armee, underField-Marshal Lieu tenant (i.e., not Field-Marshal, but Lieutenant- General) Count Clam, is encamped on the strip of land between the Cracow-road and the river Bis tritza, the corps being composed of two divisions, one under Prince Edward Leichtenstein, and the other under General Herzinger (who occupied the island of Shutt so effectually during the year 1849) ; the second corps d'armee, under Schlick, the vete ran of Leipsic, consisting of the divisions of Barko and Perglus (the former one of the most brilliant hussar officers in the army), is also encamped on the same strip of ground, having the Bistritza on their north and the Cracow-road on their south. Crossing this road to the south, we find the Im perial tent on a slight eminence, not far from the hills, rising high and seen afar in red and white stripes, and around it the household encampment ; on the same side of the road is the reserve i.e., - the cavalry camp, the Hungarian hussar regiment, of which the Grand Duke Nicholas •is the colonel, forming the centre, the soldiers all in brig ht blue, and the long lines of the picketed horses of all of this a nd the otherglight . regiments stretchin g a t h e n orth-west of the plain. Behind them and neare r Olmutz is the artillery camp,with the and e , magaz ines, &c., the heavy cavalry not b arsenal, being en camped, but quartered in the villages of Grass Wisternitz, Halitz, and Grass t Tel . 'n z. The whole of the reserve is commanded by General Schaaff gotsche. Yesterday was the third of the grand days, the whole of the manoeuvres having the spot by the Emperor commanding been ordered . on with the brilliant staff and cortege ofS in Sunday, eluding, in addition to the 17 members u f nay, iii-reigningE houses, superior officers of all the armies of of whom I may mention those of the Chancery urepe i War of Russia, many Russian and Prussian 15 gene rals ; of Hanoverians, General Halkett f ;from Ba varia, the well-known Von de Tann ; rom E France, General Guyon, with other officers m headed by Lord Westmoreland and &loanyl nglish, Bloom field, Vicars, Lawrence, and Duplat the ne 8 last well known as a man of high military - ; ' genius and rare attainments, destined to ever war should break out. The force reviewed consisted of the first corps d'armee, comprising 24 battalions of infantry; 8 squadrons of cavalry, and 34 field-pieces ; and the reserve, consisted of 8 battalions of infantry, a light cavalry brigade of 16 squadrons, and a battery of horse artillery of four pieces. The first location was a concentration for inspection, which ended, the Emperor gave the command, and out flew the light cavalry, as eclaireurs or avant g ardes, to attack a supposed enemy on the slopes of Teinitz.

THE BURGLARY AT KNOWSLEY-HALL. It appears the burglars who committed the recent daring robbery at Knowsley-hall, in the first instance effected an entrance through the window of the cooking house, in which two squares of glass were broken to ad mit of their ingress. Subsequently, on finding that the door leading to the hall was well secured, they were in duced to retrace their steps and adopt some other mode of entrance, by which their object—that of gaining access to some of the principal rooms in thelall—might be ac complished. They then made a second attempt, and succeeded in entering the h a ll by a wind ow opening into the corridor leading to Lord and Lady Derby's bed and dressing-rooms. The window had been left unfastened. The burglars entered the apartment Where the Earl and Countess were asleep, and passed thence to the dressing rooms, where they took every article of value that came within their reach. From his lordship's dressing-room they stole, out of a dressing case, a large bunch of seals and the silver tops of various toilet articles ; a pencil case and some other small but valuable articles were also taken, and a purse, containing six sovereigns, from a table where his Lordship had placed it the previous evening. A number of articles of a kind similar to those above enumerated were taken from her Ladyship's dressing-room. The burglars retired with their booty without making the slightest disturbance, and got clear off. Two massive silver candlesticks which they took from the dressing-rooms were left in the lower part of the hall, near where they made their final exit. While the burglars were in the hall they passed a room where not less than 15,000 ounces of plate is usually deposited under the charge of the butler. His Lordship on rising the following morning noticed the bedroom door being open, and called her ladyship's attention to it ; she closed the door, and no further notice was taken of the circum stance until the discovery of the robbery at a later period of the day. There are two watchmen, whose duty it is to keep guard at the hall in the night time, and this service has been confined to the members of one family for several generations. It appears that, in conse quence of the violence of the gale on Sunday night and Monday morning, these guardians took refuge in an out house, where they fell asleep, and were absent from two o'clock to a quarter-past four. It is considered very. Probable that during their absence from duty the bur glary was committed. A check is kept upon the watch man by means of what are called peg clocks. These clocks are erected at various stations about the premises, and the watchmen are required to move the pegs at cer tain intervals during their rounds. As it was ascer tained that no pegs had been placed between the hours of two and a quarter-past four, an investigation took place, when the watchmen admitted that they were absent at the time previously stated. They pleaded as an excuse for their neglect of duty that the terrific cha racter of the storm had induced them to seek shelter in a neighbouring building, where they accidentally fell asleep. Most of the property stolen consisted of articles belonging to the late Earl of Derby, and which, inde pendently of their intrinsic value, were esteemed as family relics. No clue has been obtained to the perpe trators of the burglary. PERILOUS POSITION OP A LIVERPOOL EMI GRANT SHIP AND PASSENGERS. The Oncasta, Hadfield, arrived at Liverpool on Sun day, from St. John's, N. 8., bringing the intelligence of a melancholy disaster to the emigrant ship Isaac Wright, Captain Abeel, which sailed from this port on the 20th ult. The Isaac Wright had on board 600 steerage and 10 cabin passengers, composed chiefly of German and Irish emigrants. For several days after her departure she experienced very rough weather and heavy hail-storms, with a dense fog. However, everything got on well until the evening of the 27th ult., when she was found to be close to land. The captain was on deck at the time, and called to the man at the wheel to put the ship about, hut it was too late, for as she was wearing round her stern struck on a rock, unshipped her rudder, and caused her to make water rapidly. They got her into deep water, but as it was impossible to control her movements, all sails were reefed, and all hands took to the pumps. She remained in this position with signals of distress flying, and although several vessels hove in sight none of them answered the signals until the Oncasta bore down to her. On being asked where he had struck Captain Abeel said he believed it was Cape Clear, but Captain Hadfield told him that could not be as he was only 40 miles off Cork and 34 off the Head of Kinsale. Upon consulting together it was agreed that the Oncasta should make all sail here, and send a steamer to her assistance, Captain Abeel being of opinion that he would be able to keep her afloat in the mean time. Captain Hadfield took off the cabin passengers, 10 in number. When the Oncasta left the Isaac Wright she was very deep, the water being up to her port-holes. The passengers speak in the highest terms of the con duct of Captain Abeel and his crew, stating their belief that the former had not slept from the period the steam tug left the Isaac Wright to the period of their leaving in the Oncasta. Theyalso spoke in the warmest manner of the kindness of Captain Hadfield and his wife. Four deaths from natural causes had occurred in the Isaac Wright. On Sunday, Captain Dixon, of the Fidelia (be- longing to the same line of packet-ship, Baring Brothers), left this port in the steam-tug Constitution in search of the unfortunate ship, with a view of rendering assistance. Since writing the above a communication has been posted in the Exchange and underwriters' rooms, tele graphed by the Semaphore, from Holyhead, stating that a large ship, apparently an American liner, was off that port, inward bound, at 11.30 a.m. She appeared to be in want of assistance, and a steam-tug had just arrived alongside.fller name could not be distinguished, she being far distant to the W.S.W. A WOLF STORY.—The Courrier de Gas says : "Two mountaineers from the Pyrenees appeared about a fortnight back in the village of Mazoux, leading three large wolves, which they exhibited as they went along in order to obtain money. Suddenly one of the wolves broke the rope which held him, and made off towards the open country. Meeting in its way a dog, it killed the animal, and was making a m ea l o f it, whn a man named Canuse, known in the country for his intrepidity, came in sight. The wolf at once left the dog and rushed at him, but the man standing firm, thrust his hand into the animal's mouth as it sprang at him, and tore out its tongue. The wolf soon after expired. The owner came up immediately after, and seeing the ani mal without life, he flew into a violent rage, accusing the other of depriving him of the means of earning his bread, and attempted to strike Canuse with a stick. A struggle ensued between them, and the mountaineer got the worst of the contest. The other mountaineer then came up, and in his turn attacked Canuse, who also treated him with as little ce remon y as h e h a d done his comrade. Afterwards, touched with compassion at their state, he took them home and entertained them hospi tably until they quite recovered. The inhabitants of Mazoux, in honour of Canuse's intrepidity, have just given him a fete, in which he was borne about on a plat form covered with evergreens and flowers."

PROPOSED BANQUET TO LORD PALMERSTON.—On Friday afternoon a meeting, 's Rooms, Geor e called by circular, was held in Dowell 's street for the purpose of considering the proprie . ty of inviting - Lord Palmerston to a public banquet, to be held in Edinburgh, at any time which might be most convenient for his lordship. There was but one opinion expressed by all the gentle men present, that the services of the noble lord had been of such a character as eminently to entitle him to such a mark of respect ; and accordingly it was unanimously r esolved that immediate steps should be taken for hold ing a public meeting of the citizens, to give them an opportunity of making known their feelings upon the ,subject,-42tsnian• / THE CHOLERA/ (From the General Board of Ifida, Whitehall.) NEWCASTLE-lIPON-TYNE. Deaths on the Ist of October : Cholera Diarrhcea 1 Deaths on the 2d of October : Ch01era..................... Diarrhcea On Saturday, there - were also 186 cases of diarrhoea reported, eight: approaching to cholera ; on Sunday, there were 127 cases of diarrhoea, six approaching to cholera. The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea, in Newcastle during the present outbreak has been 1,392. In the same period (viz., the first 32 days) during the prevalence of epidemic cholera there in 1831-2 the number of deaths was 233. GATESHEAD.

The total number of deaths from cholera and dia.rrhcea in Gateshead to the present date has been 385. During the like period (viz., the first, 26 days) in 1831.2, the deaths amounted to 139. TYNEMOUTH (WALLSEND DISTRICT.) Deaths on the 30th of September : Cholera DARLINGTON. Deaths on the 30th of September :•—• Cholera October 2. Cholera HOWDON PANS. Deaths on the Ist of October : Cholera STOCKTON. Deaths on the 24th and 29th of September : Cholera Tynemouth and South Shields, which include many populous townships, colleries, large manufactories, &c., were visited last week by Mr. Grainger. It appears that in all these districts a large amount of diarrhcea was very generally prevalent, in some instances to an enormous extent, putting on the true choleraic character —rice water discharges, cramps, and extreme physical depression. In the whole of the Tynemouth union there had been 26 deaths up to September 28, preceded in almost every instance by neglected diarrhcea. Four of the medical officers reported 753 cases of diarrhcea, all successfully treated, and the other two concurred in re presenting this dfection as perfectly controllable if treated early, and stated that they also had attended large numbers of cases. In South Shields the deaths up to September 29 were 31, in the whole of which, with one or two exceptions, there had been neglected diarrhoea. Four of the medi ca l o ffi cers report up to that day 955 cases of diarrhce a , many severe, with rice water dis charges. Of these, only one, an old woman of 85, died. In her case the previou s hi story was not known. The two other medical officers reported many cases, and all controlled. 284 cases were treated, and all successfully, at the dispensary. The diarrhcea in the instance of th ese t wo extens i ve unions, so near the epidemic district of N ewcast l e, i s ascribed to the same pest ilential influence as that from which Newcastle has so severely suffered. It is believed that the ravages of the disease in these two unions would have been great had it not been for the energetic pre ventive measures adopted at the outset by the local au thorities. Some conception may be formed of the l a b our imposed on these authorities with reference to the mere interval between of cleansing from the fact that, in the between September the 9th and 28th, 1,450 loads of refuse matter have been taken from the ashpits of North iShields and Tynemouth alone. Four cases of cholera having been reported at Stockton-upon-Tyne, one of which proved fatal. Dr. Waller Lewis has bean directed to visit the district, and to give his assistance to the local authorities and the resident medical prac titioners in organising effective preventive precautions. One fatal case has occurred at Darlington, and spo radic cases are reported in several towns in Scotland. LONDON. A second fatal case of cholera occurred on Friday last, in Vauxhall-square, Lambeth, an unwholesome and neglected locality. Diarrhoea was present for two or three days before the 'patient applied for medical aid. Other inmates of the house have been affected with bowel complaints. A special meeting of the board of guardians of St. Mary, Lambeth, is convened for to- day (Tuesday). It appears that eleven fatal cases have occurred in Bermondsey, and choleraic diarrhoea is re presented to be extensively prevalentfat Stepney. This last affection is stated to have prevailed 'among the troops stationed at Portsmouth, but, however, it has been checked by prompt treatment. • DEVONSHIRE. The inhabitants of the county of Devon are taking warning by the fearful havoc which had been made by the cholera in the north. At Plymouth; which, being a large port, is more liable to engender an epidemic, several meetings have been held, and measures have been adoptel to secure, if possible, the health of the in habitants, whose numbers have been greatly increased by the presence of the South Devon Militia and the Devon Militia Artillery, which amounts together to about 1,200 men. Up to the present time, however, we have not heard of any case of cholera. At Torquay, one of the most fashionable places in the West of Eng land, the local board of health have appointed a medical officer, with a salary, for three months ; and the town has been divided into districts for the purpose of visi tation by members of that body. LIVERPOOL. The town was well nigh frightened out of its pro priety on Saturday afternoon by an announcement that the dreaded malady had at last asserted its presence in this port, ten fresh cases, of which three had proved fatal, having occurred among the emigrants on board the Silas Greenwood lying in the river, bound for Boston, United States. The excitement occasioned by that statement will, we trust, subside when it is known that the fatal cases were none other than those reported at the meeting of the health committee on Thursday, the three victims being two Germans, who had doubtless brought the seeds-of the disease from their own country, and a poverty-stricken Englishman, whose debilitated condition made him an easy prey to the grim King of Terrors. The Silas Greenwood is a fine packet-ship, be longing to Messrs. Rathbone Brothers, and Co. She was inspected ten days ago by the Government emi o - tion officers, and would have taken her departure about that time had she not been detained in the river by stress ea appeared in weather. The whole of h er p assengers then a in tolerably good health, b ut on Monday, the cook, and afterwards several of the Germans, were attacked with premonitary symptoms, and the three fatal cases were the result. On Saturday it was reported that seven more emigrants were ill of the disease, two of them seriously so, and a meeting of sub-health committee was called to take a state of the ship, and other matters respecting the sanitary condition of the town, into consideration. W e b e li eve th at an invita tion was given to the health committee appointed by the select vestry to co-operate with the sub-health com mittee of:Abe corporation, but that its chairman (Mr. Bradley) injudiciously declined to do so, on the ground that they, as the representatives of the parish, were the only parties having power to act in these emergencies, and that Mr. Hodson, as chairman of the sub-health committee, had nothing to do with the matter. On the recommendation of the acting medical officer of the union (Dr. Cameron), it was decided that the best mea sures to adopt would be to remove the sick to the sheds appropriated to such cases at the workhouse, to bring the whole of the passengers on shore, and thoroughly to cleanse and fumigate the vessel. Mr. RaQibone, who was in attendance, showed the greatest desire to meet the wishes of the committee, and we trust the prompt steps they have taken will speedily remove ll cause for alarm, as far as this batch of emigrants is concerned. The ship was cleared of the passengers on Saturday, the Irish portion going to their respective lodging houses, and the Germans being conveyed to the Emi grant's Home, Moorfields, whence they had been shipped. r emoved f yesterdayrom that morning p es o workhouse. They included the co ok of the establish ment,oOfn diarrhoeaSaturday n wereight and a German woman, seven Garman emigrants, one Austrian, and one Prussian. They were not severe cases, but were wisely removed, on the first attack of diarrhoea, by the orders of in numb er , officer.

A fatal case of choIera EDINBURGH took place in Smith's Land, Fox-lane, Leith, on Thursday afternoon. Deceased, who was a bottle-maker, had neglected to attend to the premonitory symptoms, and the disease in its more virulent form attacked him on Wednesday afternoon. We are glad to say that Edinburgh is still free from the epidemic ; and it is to be hoped the cleansing of the worst parts of time town, and the enforcement of the Police Act with reference to nuisances, will prevent its outbreak here.
