WIND, N.W.—Dull weather. fi,At -0 r'ufy ( L I ) , j LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1853, According to present appearances the " Bears' are likely to suffer severely for the reckless de. termination with which they endeavoured to force down quotations, and to occasion a d wonetary panic on the Stock Exchange. They would listen to no arguments—would suffer themselves to be nfluenced by no advice, however reasonable. They had made up their minds to a panic, and a panic they would have at any price. They were, how- ever, for once deceived in their calculations. The envenomed shafts which they sent forth have recoiled on themselves. The poison is circulating throughout their own veins. It has for some time been notorious, that the speculators for a fall had largely oversold them- selves, and that they cannot meet their engage ments on the settling day unless they can once more induce fundholders and shareholders to lend stock, or, in other words, adopt the suicidal policy of providing dangerous and unscrupulous opponents with weapons to be used against them selves with terrific effect. By doing so, th ey succeeded in evading their difficulties on the last account, and that they are again attempting to play the same game is palpable from the existence 01 that anomaly termed, in Capel Court parlance, a " backwardation" or " baccadation," by which stocks or shares are cheaper for the account than for money ; or, in other words, where parties do not pay for pecuniary accommodation, but receive a handsome rate of interest for keeping the money of the speculators. That " backwarda tion" will be even still heavier on the present oc casion, because the parties have not only to supply the new stock for the heavy sales made during some weeks past, but also to replace the large amount formerly borrowed. They are, in fact, completely driven into a corner, and two days only now remain for the reception of the evil in telligence for which they are looking forward with . such intense anxiety. They have discovered, to o , that the public are not so easily alarmed as they h a d anticipated ; that the only effect of the rumours Which they have circulated with such indefatigabl e en trm and de c id ed, as ergy, is to render capitalists more if they had at length arrived at the decision that the mor e imminent the danger of a collision th e more likely speedy and perman ent settleme t nt, that the there is to be nearera the opposing armies a re h brouo each o th er , th e s ooner will they be relievedg fomfa that state of is su spense and indecisio n th at more inju rious to trade and commerce thancouid be the mos t ac tive and decided hostilities. In truth, the ursoe Ininores are placed in a pitiable P re dicament, and if they had not so richly deserved their fate, if they had not so contumelio usly rejected Bound ' and wholesome advice, and if their fax _ I culations had not been directed to such purposes, to the damaging of public credit an d depriving the widows and orphans of their means of subsistence, we might sympathise w ith their sufferings, and endeavour to relieve them from the meshes of the net in which they are so firmly bound. Under all the circumstances of the case we cannot, however, discover a single ground for mitigation, or for" softening in any degree the severity of the blow to which they are now liable. They require a - sharp lesson; Public safety demands that they should bitterly expiate the acts of which they have been guilty. Nor will the paying the full penalty of their misdeeds leave them altogether penniless. They may have to disgorge . a co ns id era bl e propor tion of th e i r ill gotten gains, but if a balance were 'll % THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 8, 1853. struck, even on Thursday, they would be found to have largely profited by their operations during the last few months. If we compare the prices of Stocks and Shares five months since with the present quotations, we shall find a large surplus still remaining in the hands of the Ursine frater nity, and no mercy should be shown until they have surrendered the last farthing. It now depends on those who have already suf fered severely, whether they will let off their in defatigable opponents—whether, in fact, they will themselves construct easy paths for their escape. If they yield to the temptation of a trifling " back wardation"—if they loan their stocks or shares on any terms—they play the game of their assailants, and sacrifice their own interests in the most palpable manner. Let them steadfastly deter mine to be true and faithful to each other-- to look to the general welfare rather than to trifling personal advantages, and they will find that the quotations will improve, at least, two or three per cent., ; in place of a quarter or three-eighths. Everything, in fact, shows th a t they can safely do so. The Eastern difficulty may be considered as " virtually arranged." So says the Times of this day, and we have no reason to doubt the accuracy of its intelligence in that re spect. Even a pitched battle between the troops under OMER PA CHA and Prince GORTSCHAKOFF could scarcely retard, much less prevent, the adjustment of the dispute. As we have long since pointed out a slight advantage gained by the Russians would materially promote the settlement, by enabling NICHOLAS to retire with comparative honour (such honour as may be awarded to an unscrupulous invader) from the position he so recklessly a 5..- smiled. Nor do we see that a Turkish victory would lead to any opposite result. It might delay, but would not defeat, the final settlement agreed upon. A few thousand lives more or less are nothing to a roan exercising despotic power over sixty or seventy millions of serfs, and who thinks nothing of the sacrifice of myriads of human beings to the gratification of his vanity or cupidity—to the satisfaction of a piece of punctiliousness (similar to that of the duellist of the last century, a class now happily unknown), or the promotion of his own interests, either by way of direct aggrandise ment or by crippling the powe of his adversary. Peace is all but certain. I fundholders and shareholders consider these things, and refuse to abandon the advantages they have obtained, or to iet their persecutors off on easy terms, and they will teach a lesson that cannot easily be for gotten, but must be productive of the most salu tary results for months to come. The unfortunate difficulty between the masters and operatives in the manufacturing districts is daily becoming more complicated, and the pros pects of an amicable solution more and more remote. The angry passions of the parties concerned are greatly inflamed and exasperated. Each man feels himself to be deeply injured, and to have well founded causes of complaint against his opponents. The employers see the balances at their bankers daily decreasing—their liabilities are still coming round, with unerring exactitude, while the esta- blishments in which their capital has been in vested, and which should provide the means for liquidating all such demands, are lying idle and unproductive—the machinery, which had been erected at an enormous expense, rusting for want of use. On the other hand, the workmen, who with their families are enduring the most stringent privations, ascribe their sufferings to the stern determination and inflexible resolution of the masters, in place of attributing them to the true causes—their cwn reckless folly, and perverse infatuation in suffering themselves to be deceived by the turgid declamations and pompous platitudes of the mischievous agitators who have led them so far astray from the path of rectitude and fair dealing. It is by no means difficult to declaim on what the would-be leaders are pleased to term " the rights of. labour." It is easy to expatiate on the villany of " the Cotton Lords, who (for sooth) are not in the habit of going to the ale bench, and not content with drinking their beer, but who must have their wines, and their servants to wait on them, and whose wives were luxuriating in silks and satins, while the operatives must be content to wear their miserable cotton dresses." The Socialist doctrines of full and perfect equa lity, and a division of capital among all persons ready to put in their claims, are easily inculcated on those who would benefit by the change, and by the formation of a common fund into which the entire wealth of the country should be cast for general distribution. Quod volumus facile credimus, the half-starved turn-out who was barely supporting existence on the precarious contributions extorted from various sources, revelled in the fancy of ample dinners and hot suppers of the best joints, flanked with fish, game, or poultry, and washed down with the rich juice of the grape, or, what might be even more acceptable, with copious libations of brandy and water, or, to use their own lan guage, of " warm with " or " cold without," while the wives, whose humble finery had long since been consigned to the safe keeping of the pawnbrokers of the district, who had not even the " miserable cotton dresses to wear," indulged in making dreams of flowing robes of silk or satin, made in the newest style of fashion, and fitting to the highest degree of perfection. Who would not follow out the paths leading to such brilliant results ? who would not render himself or herself worthy a place in the Cowelliun, paradise by submitting for a brief period to the necessary privations, and obeying, ' with ser vile and unreasoning fidelity, the despotic or ders, of the commander who promised so glorious a termination to the contest between " labour and capital" —not merely the emancipation, but the unequivocal triumph o f the former—" the des tinies of trade" being placed under the control of committees, and to be settled at nightly confer ences, during by no means dirt/ debates, in the various public-houses ? Yet this is the b tred intelligence of the operatives who listen with in dulgence, and even give some degree of credence to such unmitigated trash, in place of . • xammtng it by the light of reason and comm on mulat _ de _ tecting the palpable illusion, mid expelling from their councils the parties who formed such humble estimates of their judgment. Each party then has entered on the internecine conflict with the most inflexible resolution---to achieve a victory, and to make the opposite side bear the expenses of the war. The operatives look not merely to the present ten per cent. de manded unconditionally from all, as well from those who had made previous advances, as others who had rejected any addition to the rate of wages ; but also to obtaining new concessions from time to time in the shape of increased wages and reduced hours of work, while the masters not merely refuse any further concession, but reclaim those they have already given, declaring that " whenever the time shall arrive for the re-open ing of the mills, the rate of wagesshall be the same as was paid on or beforeithe Ist of March last— subject, however, to such alterations as may be recommended by the committee in particular cases 1" c, We thus find cannot blame the maawstoe that the mischievous spirit f combination" is at O in self-defence. rrks, foron both iw a s si aides. es sa W 7 e tivesdang er t o h u e s y ad not resorted to the One confederacies would hav e taken up by the opera-. side, .they were i n _ de tail.

MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,500 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed steadily, with, but little change in prices. The sales included 5,000 American, 300 Egyptian at 6d. to 74d., and 400 Surat at 2id. to 411 per lb. The Railway Share Market opened very firm at an advance of 1 to 2 per cent. but closed rather flat. The. state of the dried fruit trade in London, is described by Messrs. Witherby and Hanson as follows : " This great falling off in the deliveries of currants may be regarded either in a favourable or an unfavour able light. It is most unfavourable if we can bring our selves to the strange belief that the use of currants has been suddenly given up by all classes in this country, by reason of the price to consumers being 3d. and 4d. per lb. higher than during the last winter. If this were the case the public must of necessity have taken moreraisins than usual in the autumn, whereas the London clear ances of that article in September and October have been only 1,300 tons, against 1,800 tons in September and October, 1852, when prices ruled higher than at present. Nor do the trade, who for the most part hold no stock, despair of currants being shortly required, though, owing to various causes the demand will set in later than usual. Although the deliveries of the last three months of this year will not come up to the 5,000 tons cleared during that period in 1851, nor to the 3,500 tons in 1852, yet if the quantity taken for consumption during the next four winter months be only equal to that cleared during the summer months of May, June, July and August last (2,600 tons) without any reference to the 1,350 tons shipped in bond, the article will probably have a very different aspect at the termi nation of that period. Holders, therefore, refrain gene rally from offering their goods whilst buyers shew so little inclination to come - forward. The market con tinues in a state of inaction, and no sales have been made to cause any alteration in prices. The quality of the New Cephalonia Fruit just landed is better than the thist arrivals 41852, and 100 e. is demanded : the New Patras is not better than that of 1852, and the total yield of good and bad of all growths will be less than half of that of 1852 crop." Of raisins we still require 2,600 tons to reach the total importation of last season until Christ mas. To-morrow being Lord Mayor's-day, and the procession passing down Mincing-lane, there will be no public sales of colonial produce. The Iron Market is lower. Scotch pigs are 735. to 735. 6d. for mixed numbers. The very impor tant measure which the French Government is shortly expected to take in respect to the admis sion of English iron at a comparatively low duty, if not free of any impost, has been partly antici pated, having been known for some time to certain parties having connections at Paris ; and it is be lieved that very influential personages there have been large buyers on their own ac count. Not the least doubt exists, however, but that there will be a great stimulus given to the Iron trade in the United Kingdom by this bold step of Louis Napoleon, and although the immediate purpose is to facilitate the construction of railways in France, there are indications of its being the precursor of a more enlightened commer cial system, somewhat in the direction of free trade, with corn admitted free, and iron to follow, one great barrier is already removed. The steamer from. Southampton to Alexandria took . out a very large mail for India and Australia, the newspapers filling an immense number of boxes. By the mail via Marseilles, this evening, there will no doubt be a greater quantity of letters. The amount of bills drawn by the Hon. East ludia Company here upon the three presidencies was, during the fortnight ended last evening, 60,1511. Silver is still rising in value, bars having been sold at id. per oz., and dollars at ld. per ounce advance. The market for English Securities has been buoy ant again, but the principal business is for money. The large " Bear" accounts seem to have been mostly bought in, and it is the policy of the dealers to keep the market as quiet as possible until after the settlement. The " options " will come off to-morrow, and the " calls" will probably have been already to a great extent operated against. Consols have realised 95 to 95i for transfer, 94i to 95i for the Account.

Before this shrine was fornierlY kept a lamp continually burning, on one side of which stood a figure of the Vir gin, wrought in silver, which, with two jew`els d Ml mehse value, were presented as an offering by Queen Eleiner: On the other side stood another image of the Virgin ; vsfeiight hi Fiery, presented by Thos.

It is painful to witness the damage which has been done to this and several of the surronnding monuments, .which were ori ginally enriched with so much cost and art. Recent dis cussions as to their restoration will be remembered by our readers. The stonework of the Confessor's shrine is hollow within, and now incloses a large chest, which Mr. Keep, soon after the coronation of James 11., found to contain the remains of St. Edward, for, being broken (it is said) by accident, lie discovered, upon turning up the bones, a crucifix richly ornamented and enamelled, and a gold chain 2u inches long, both of which he pre sented to his Majesty, who ordered the bones to be re placed in the old coffin, and inclosed in a new oce made i very strung.--Ty I,3uiloler. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS RUSSIA AND TURKEY. HOSTILITIES ON THE DANUBE. We learn by Electric Telegraph that on the 19th of October Oiner Pasha was at Itehubar, where he had concentrated 200 gunboats, each carrying a piece of heavy ordnance, and fit for the trams_ ft of troops. The Pasha was preparing to cross the Danube at this point, where he had the centre of the Russian army before him. Prince• Gortschakoff's head-quarters had been removed to Slatina, whence the Russian Com mander in-Chief watched the movements of Omer Pasha's corps. Hostilities have commenced in Asia. A special steamer, with despatches from Selim Pasha for the Seraskier, arrived on the evening of the 23rd from Batoum. The contents of these despatches are known by vague rumours only. By electric telegraph, via Vienna yesterday, it is stated that according to private news from Bu charest, Omer Pacha had received definite orders to suspend hostilities, and direct negotiations of peace had begun. A considerable rise took place on 'Change on receipt of the above news, though not yet authentic. Negotiations for an armistice are certainly going on. There is a rumour that a French force of 25,000 men will be sent to Constantinople. The Cologne Gazette states from Vienna, 2d inst., that Count Giulai will not proceed to Italy but re main in the Austrian capital. Count Fiquelmont has been summoned to Vienna. _ _ _ '"'"7 It is said that on the 20th of October Massa Bey sent a reconnoitring party in the direction of Cirock dere. The Russians surprised and attacked this detachment on its march. &Jim Pasha, attracted by the noise of the skirmish, advanced with rein forcements, and encountered a corps of 15,000 Russians from Redout Kale and other points. An engagement took place ; the Russian - forces were routed, and Selim Pasha' established his head quarters at Orelly, at the distance of six leagues from Cirock-dere. Letters from the Persian frontier state that Mr. Thompson, the British Charge d'Affaires, was pre sent at the manoeuvres in the camp of Sultanieh. The Ambassadors of itussia and Turkey were not in the camp. The Affghans have sent an Ambassador to the Schah, entreating him to take the part of Turkey, and threatening, in case of non-compliance to march upon Hamadan. This news is confirmed by despatches which have arrived from Shiraz. The Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna, of the 3d, says :—" News has just been received by an elec tric despatch that a Peace Congress is to meet in London. In addition to the plenipotentiaries'of the five great powers, there will also be an Otto man one present.- We have not read the despatch, but place entire reliance on it." The Lloyds of Vienna, of the 3d, says :—" Prince Gortschakoff has established a government in Mol davia. There has not been any combat between the Russians and Turks near Kalafat. On Sun day last the Russian head-quarters were at Kra jowa. The Turks have not advanced beyond Skripez. All the inhabitants have taken to flight and seek refuge at Krajowa. It appears that the Russians wish to fortify themselves there." A letter from Vienna of the 3d, in the Post Ga zette of Frankfort gives a different version of the affair of Isactcha to those heretofore published. Two steamers, it says, the Pruth and the Ordonnance, received orders to tow eight gunboats to Galatz and Braila, but on reaching the fort they were fired on. After a combat of several hours, they succeeded in forcing the passage, and arrived at Galatz in the night, though with five gunboats only. Two of the boats were subsequently towed to Braila by the Pruth. Those which remained at Galatz were more or less damaged. The Russians had 25 killed, one of whom was a colonel, and 70 wounded. They left two of the gunboats at Keni with the wounded. It is not said what became of the eighth boat. The Nuremberg Correspondent has the following from Vienna, dated the Ist :—" The opinion is gaining ground that the orders of the Sultan to Omer Pacha not to begin hostilities arrived too late, that General having authority to act without applying to the Divan for instructions. Baron de Meyendorff has, it is said, announced that he has had orders to declare formally that the Empe ror Nicholas would not examine any proposition of mediation, from whatever side it should come. He has added that the propositions sent some days before by the Czar were the only pacific words that would issue from his lips. In presence of that dis tinct declaration of Baron de Meyendorff, the pro position of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe was put aside." A letter from Vienna, in the Breslau Gazette, says :—" The Consul-General of France at Bucha rest, has left for Trqnsylvania, but the consular establishment has remained." According to a letter from Bucharest of the 29th ult., in the Breslau Gazette, the Russian troops on the Danube do not exceed 70,000 ; and no more arriving from Besarabia. A letter from the camp at Schumla, in the Journal de Constantinople, gives the following proclamation of Omer Pacha, addressed to the army : " Asiatic, African, and European officers and soldiers. The blood of your ancestors has more than once red dened this soil which a powerful enemy wishes to ravish from us. Confided by your fathers to your patriotic honour it is still without a stain ; know that you cannot make a step without a voice rising from the earth to say to you : The dust under your feet is our ashes, the ashes of your forefathers ; defend it. Soldiers, let us swear to shed together the very last drop of our blood to maintain the integrity of the throne of our Emperor and well-beloved Sovereign Sultan Abd-ul-Diledjid Khan.' " The Grand Mufti then offered up a prayer, the Amen to which was repeated by the whole army. The drums then beat, and a prolonged shout of " Long live the Sultan" was raised. Omer Pasha refused to permit the troops to defile before him, saying that he would not accept such adistinguished honour until he had gained a victory over the Rus sians. Amon' the foreigners present were Mr. Neale, the British Consul at Varna, a son of Baron Bruck's, and General Prim, who received a splen did charger as a present from Omer Pasha. Should hostilities continue between the Russians and Turks, it is certain that the conduct of Austria will be closely watched, and perhaps guarantees re quired for the maintenance of a neutrality which will afford no material advantage to Russia. The Austrian Government issued on the 17th ult. a circular to the ministers at foreign Courts giving asgurances of its neutrality. The following ap pears td lie the most import ant p assa g e of that document : "His Imperial Majesty, faithful to his pacific sys tem, has not hesitated a moment as to the line of con duct which his duty pointed out in the new phase into which the Eastern question has entered. As long as the interests of his own empire shall not be directly menaced by war, his Majesty will remain neutral, the more so as the positive and reiterated declarations of the Court of Russia give him the certainty that that Power does not mean to infringe on the integrity of the Otto man Empire, nor on the sovereign rights of the Sultan." Letters from Constantinople, of the 25th ult., state that Omer Pasha was at Rahova, nearly oppo site the spot where the Chyl falls into the Danube, on the 19th. He had collected there 200 gun boats, each armed with a heavy piece of ordnance, and capable of embarking a considerable body of troops. He visa preparing to cross the Danube at that point in front of the centre of the Russian army. Gorts chakoff had removed his head-quarters to Slatina, whence he was observing the movements of the Turkish troops. A steamer arrived in the afternoon of the 23d at Constantinople from Batoum, with despatches from Selim Pasha for the Seraskier. They announced that on the 20th, Mastar Bey having been despatched to make a reconnaissance in the direction of Ciorock-Dere, was unexpect edly attacked by the Russians. Selim Pasha gicivanced to his assistance, and found himself in frohrt of 15,000 of the enemy who had come up from Redone-Ka/eh and other places. An engage ment ensued, but the advantage was in favour of Selim Pasha, who established his head-quarters the same night at Orelli, about eight hours' march from Ciorock-Dere. Letters had been received at Con stantinople from the frontiers of Persia, which stated that Mr. Thompson, the British Chargé d'Affaires, was present at the mauceuvres at Sul tanieli. Neither the Russian nor Turkish Minister was present. Another letter from Constantinople, of the 27th, states that Monsignor Anthimos, the new Pa triarch of Constantinople, had addressed a pastoral letter to the members of the Synod and to the Chiefs of the Greek community, announcing to them the benevolent disposition of the Sultan, who had condescended to be present at his inves titure, a favour which no Patriarch had' obtained since the reign of Mahomet 11. Monsignor An thimos concludes his letter by repeating the words used by the Sultan, who declared that he meant to guarantee, of himself, and without any foreign suggestion, the privileges and immunities granted by his august ancestors to the members of the dif ferent Greek communities. Those words produced a great effect on all the Greeks. Prince Gortschakoff has suspended the usual Wallachian authorities, and formed an Extraordi nary Administrative Council. A short time ago the. Hospodar was invited by Prince Gortschakoff to lay down the reins of government for a time and to leave the principality. The " invitation" was of course equivalent to a comman d, and the Prince ), only demanded time for the arrangement of his private affairs. On the 27th of October Prince George, the Hospodar's eldest son, quitted Bu charest for Hermanstadt with the private treasury of his father, and on the 30th the latter was to follow him. The Chief of the Police, M. Plagino, who is the Hospodar's brother-in-law, has also quit ted the service of his country. It appears that there is. a general emigration among the higher classes, as apartments are ordered here for a great number of the most influential and wealthy Boyards. On the 24th a Russian steamer, with two gun boats in tow, passed up the river from Galatz. This is a new breach of treaty, as Russian vessels of war have no right to go higher up the river than Reni, which is on the Pruth. The Presse learns by a letter of the 30th of October, from Orsova, that a very smart affair has taken place be tween the Turkish vanguard and about 2,500 Russian Lancers. The conflict occurred at no great distance from Karajova, on the road between that place and Kalafat, and after two hours' fighting the Russian vanguard fell back towards Slatina. As this position on the Aluta would be difficult to maintain, it is believed that the ad vanced posts of General Dannenberg's army corps will join the main body near Piteschti, a place on this side of the river Ardshisch. Dannenberg, who is said to be at the head of 45,000 regulars, 2,500 Cossacks, and 200 guns, has his head-quarters at Piteschti. _ A letter of the 24th from Jassy, in the Trieste Zeitung, induces the belief that the strength of the Russian army in the Principalities has been much exaggerated. That there are 75,000 men in Wallachia, and of the 6,000 in - " Moldavia the greater part is in the south, at IBerlad, Tekutsch, and Fokshan. In Jassy and its environs are about a thousand men, but none in the west. About 20,000 men are concentrated at some few English miles from Bucharest, and there Prince Gortschakoff still has his head-quarters. Strong Russian detachments have been sent to Islas* Opposite Nicopolis, and to Pojana to the east of Kalafat. According to the Bucharest paper, which is printed under the very eyes of the Russian mili tary authorities, the sick amount to about 12,000 men, most of whom are affected by a very singular complaint, which carries off great numbers. A bladder-like swelling appears on the chest, and in. a few days suppurates, " discharging a substance like earth." The complaint is by some attributed. to insufficient and coarse food, by others to the long and fatiguing marches in the summer. The extraordinary Administrative Council at Bucharest has made known that all Russian and Moldo-Wallachian merchant vessels have to cease to navigate the Danube from the 26th of October, and to remain at the place where they may chance to be. Under no pretence are wheat, salt, or any other objects to be sold to the Turks. On the 18th of last month the first snow fell in Bulgaria. "Up to Sunday last, October 30, 16,000 Turks had landed at Kalafat. The Austrian Consul-General at Bucharest has been recalled, LIVERPOOL RACES (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. • (Sittings in Banco.) CROUCH V. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This action was tried before Mr. Justice Erie at York, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff on all the pleas, with the exception of the 12th and 14th, which were found for the defendants. Mr. Atherton moved, by leave of the learned judge, to set aside the findings on these two pleas, and to enter them for the plaintiff. It appeared that the peti tioner is by business a carrier and undertaker, to de liver small parcels to different places in the pro vinces, at a rate lower than is charged by railway companies. His mode of proceeding is to collect these, and to make up such as are addressed to a parti cular destination into one large parcel familiarly called "a packed parcel," and to transmit it by railway for the cost of a single parcel to his agent, who opens it and sends the conter.ts to the parties to whom they are di rected. This practice was demurred to by the railway company, who thought that it interfered with their le gitimate profits, and they augmented the scale of charges for pickages of the description mentioned. The ques tion involved in the 12th and 14th issues on which the present case turns, has reference to the right of the company to impose such additional sum, and has been repeatedly decided by the courts at Westminster, both for and against railway companies ; but in this instance an additional ingredient has been introduced, inasmuch as, in the private act of the company, power is given to them to demand, in respect of certain small parcels of great weight, any sum they may think fit to propose. The Court granted a rule to show cause, intimating that this particular clause had been "shamefully" smuggled into the company's private act. In the course of the argument of Mr. Atherton, it was discovered that one of the volumes of the Exchequer library was missing. This excited the displeasure of the Lord Chief Baron, who observed that, a short time ago, some books which had been lost for two years were re turned to the Court, having, in the interval, been in use at the Westminster Sessions House, and who intimated that, if the practice of taking books away from the library continued, it would be necessary to treat the offence as a contempt of court. CITY OF LONDON COMMISSION. (THIS DAY.) The Commissioners resumed their inquiry this morn ing in the Council Chamber of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Mr. Acland took up the thread of his examination where he left it on Friday, and pro ceeded to point out the injustice and inconvenience which attended the management of the Irish estates of the Corporation. He also dwelt at some length upon the impolicy of excluding the city from such general acts as the County Court and other similar acts ; and stated that the city was often put to the expense of ob taining separate acts for matters which had already been extended to every other part of the country. Mr. Acland was under examination all day. MASSACRE OP A BRITISH' CAPTAIN AND CREW ON THE AFRICAN COAST. The Castletownsend correspondent of the Ship ping Gazette writes on the 3rd "The schooner heroine, Stafford, of London, arrived in Castletownsend Harbour about noon this day. This vessel has been the scene of a tragical event on the coast of Africa. She sailed from London about 18 months ago, on a trading voyage to Africa ' her owner, Captain eormack, being iiiaster. Ile traded with the sing of Tabou ) and his OW1)16 bfi credit to be paid by palm oil, &c, and ) :;ter every exertion, failed in getting what he was promised. He then took the King and some of his people and kept them on board of his vessel, until their put of the toiattact snOuid be fulfilled. The King's subjeets hilt indignant at this, and were determined to h',We revenge, and came off in their canoes with a num ber of casks filled with water, and only two of palm oil, and got on board th.e tessel. Poor Captain Cormack was completely. thrown off his gnard, although well armed, and *lieu ,in the act ,Of Stdoping dyer the side of the vessel lcldkiii trite the Canoes, laden With oil as he thought, he was stabbed from behind by the King's son and pitched overboard ; they then attacked and mur dered the remainder of the crew except one boy from Ireland, who has rertiained at the Ariieridan settlement on the tnaSt, iii eiPeaatiOn or gettidg a passage to Ame rica, where his father and mother reside. " The King and his men took the vessel close in shore, determined to burn her for her copper and iron ; but in two days after the brig Tweed; Boaden, of Bristol, chanted to anchor at night at the Same jilade l stud hear ing of what had happeneo, went on board and induced the natives to give her up to him on paying something for her, and ran her to a place of safety by part of his crew, and subsequently gave her in eharge to Captain Stafford., first officer Of the ehatco, of Bristol, to bring her home With a crew of three white men and Kroomen, and on the 22nd of October she was dismasted in a heavy gale near the Western Islands, " Capt. Stafford deserves great praise for his exer tions in getting the vessel to a harbour of safety, con tending with heavy gales in his disabled state, and having nothing to subsist on but salt meat and bread for a great part of the voyage, and the men being kept at the pumps almost constantly. It is supposed_ that' Captain Cormack's widow resides in London." SERIOUS CASE Or STABBING.—On Saturday ovenitig a man named Lawson quarrelled with another named Edward Clarke, at a beershop in George Leigh-street, Manchester, and they commenced fighting. Lawson was seen to pull out a knife, and a woman seized his hand to restrain him, but he contrived to open it with his teeth, pushed the woman away, and stabbed Clarke in several parts of the body. The wounded nian was taken to the Infirmary, and it seems very improbable that he will recover.

The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and Royal children, took their usual exercise. The Lord and Equerry in Waiting returned from Dover yesterday afternoon. The Earl of Aberdeen left the Castle this morning for London. His Excellency Shafee Khan, late Persian Minister at this Court, took his departure for Teheran on Friday night, via Paris and Vienna. All matters relative to the Legation have been entrusted by his Excellency, until the arrival of his successor, to Charles R. Thomp son, Esq., of Winchester House, Old Broad•street. The Earl of Aberdeen arrived in town yesterday, from a visit to her Majesty, at Windsor Castle. Despatches were received at the Colonial-office yester day, from the Governors of the American Provinces. The Duke and Duchess of Wellington, who are stay ing in Upper Belgrave-street, will not occupy Apsley House until late in the ensuing season, owing to the ex tensive embellishments and improvements in progress at that mansion. The late duke's mews are being pulled down, so as to make the facade on a line with Baron Rothschild's mansion. • LYCEUM THEATRE. Wright at Last, the sequel to the Commencement of a Bad Farce, is now superseded by another bagatelle en titled low to make Home .Happy. It is Mr. Dabchick's misfortune to be united to a jealous wife. Let him say what he may, or do what he will, Mrs. Dabchick sees ground for suspicion. She is especially on the qui vine when her bosom friend, Miss Emily Snowden, pays her a visit ; for, although Emily confides in her the secret of her attachment fur Frederick Eldon, a clerk of Mr. Dabchick, she only recognises it as the cover for a clandestine correspondence with his employer. The good woman worries her husband well nigh to death with her groundless imputations. He can, at last, stand it no longer, and he kicks fiercely ; whereat the lady is alarmed, and she resorts to the soothing system to appease him. But the same kind of suspicion which haunted her now haunts him ; and as she read submission to be a proof of guilt, he becomes liable to a similar impression. This con stitutes the substance of the farce. Mr. Wright has certainly found in this little piece a better vehicle than that of last week. His acting as the unfortunate Dabchick, nervously afraid of his wife, and resorting to all sorts of fidgetty contrivances to avert the jealousy which, although she may caress him, he but too well knows is as inflammable as a lucifer at the smallest provocation, is very comic, and agreeably devoid of exaggeration, notwithstanding the facilities the part af fords for broad and popular extravagance. Mrs. Frank Matthews, as Mrs. Dabchick, perpetually vibrating be tween love and doubt, is never out of her element in such personations ; and she bears the burden of the farce very equally with Mr. Wright. There was considerable applause last night when the curtain fell ; and the piece will probably occupy a place for some time to come in the bills of the house. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. A new one-act piece, under the title of Pierre, "a lyric sketch," was produced here on Saturday evening. It is the joint production of Mr. Henri Drayton and Mr. J. E. Duggan. Nothing can be more simple than Mr. Drayton's story. Pierre is a poor lur atic, who has lost his senses through the practical jest of his rustic comrades, who have placed a skull under a veil, and set it before him as the head of his betrothed. He wanders about moodily and vacantly ; but a good old doctor con ceives the notable plan of bringing him back to his native village, and by inviting the maiden herself, who was the innocent cause of his calamity, to sing a ditty with which he was familiar in saner days, a cure is effected. The object of the author has been to make Pierre the central figure, and to paint the changes of temper and eccentricity which a maniac may be supposed to experience ; and hence the music belonging to him, particularly his opening scena, is as disjointed and various as the celebrated "Mad Tom" of Purcell. There is a rich dramatic vein in all Mr. Duggan writes, especially in his recitatives, which are full of truth and meaning. One of the most taking morceaux is a pretty song sung by the heroine, which is recognisable by its piquant French tournure. Altogether there is much that deserves commendation in the music. It is manly and solid, and wholly free from tameness and insipidity. Mr. Duggan writes with confidence and fervour. His knowledge of instrumentation is good, and his power of employing it worthy of remark. Many of the orchestral passages in Pierre are eminently picturesque, and as descriptive as could be wished. A libretto of a better and more attractive character would have placed Mr. Duggan in a superior light, but there is abundance to show that he has both ambition and ability, and that he is likely to win fame in the portrayal of the melodra matic and the romantic—to which we fancy we perceive his yearnings chiefly tend. The " Sketch" was sustained by Miss Lowe and Mr. Henri Drayton, who exerted themselves with undeniable energy, and they obtained unbounded applause. The favourable verdict of the audience was loudly expressed at the fall of the curtain, a call being raised for Miss Lowe and Mr. Drayton, and then another for Mr. Duggan, the composer, who presided in the orchestra. STRAND THEATRE. This theatre opened for the. Wagon last night, under the auspices of Mt Ateroft, its approaches and interior having received during the vacation an entirely new ap pearance, at the hands of the painter Mkt dedorator. The programme announced the introduction of four new pieces, from whkh, however, the usual discount on bills must lye, •teaucted, seeing that two of the "new" pieces An adaptations from the French, and a third a btirlesque on Hamlet. The remaining pieee-A Cheap Excursion to Brighton; or, &W it iersus Lodging Houses His, as its name ituteates, founded on one of the episodical controVersies of the day in which the cause of hotels ) as Contrasted with the petty pilferings and _tiltioyances of lodging-houses, is advocated. There is no attempt at a plot, and anything bail; dramatic justice is done to a theme which lb competent hands might be made amus ing. the Maid of Normandy and the Pet of the Ptiblic, the two foreign importions, told 'helot with the audi ence—the latter especially—in which Miss Rebecca Isaacs played 'variety of characters, and sang some lively songs with great spirit and effect. Like most of the French pieces of the same class, the Pet of the Pub. lie is full of quaint situation and sparkling dialogue, and only required to be properly cast, as it was last night, to make it tell with an audience. The Hamlet is an operatic burlesque, in which Mr. W. J. Hurlstone (a first appearance here) performs the part of Hamlet. The acting of Mr. Hurlstone, who has evidently consider able and various dramatic ability, contibuted not a little to the success of the piece. Indeed, we have little doubt that this and the Pet of the Public will be favou rites for some time at the Strand. Mr. Angel and Mr. R. P. Smith, as well as Mr. Hurlstone, are new addi tions to the corps of the Strand staff, and are likely to become favourites with the public—the former as a quiet and unexaggerated but clear and efficient per former, and the latter as a rattling confident actor, of the " Young Rapid " school. The house was very well filled. MATH OF LADY POWER.—The Dowager Lady Power ) relict of the late Sir John Power, died on Tuesday last at Kilforne, in the county Tipperary, in the 77th of her .
