Nang '-' • "I4Npm cu• ALM LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1847. It would appear as if the Legislature, in giving their sanction to the Bank Charter Act of 1844, had resolved by every practicable means to render the working of the Act of 1819, which had already at various times occasioned such fearful calamities, and general distress, as oppressive as it could possibly be made. It was not sufficient that the principle of that Act should be maintained, and that every Bank of Eng land note should be convertible on demand into bullion, at the fixed price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce, but stores of bullion were required to be laid up in various parts of the country, not only in England, where there might possibly have been some slight utility in such hoards, but also in Scotland and Ire land, where the circulation of 11. notes and the habits of the people, who greatly prefer the smaller denominations of notes to bullion for general *e, rendered it absolutely use less. We believe it will be readily admitted by any person who has resided for any lengthened time in either country, that sovereigns scarcely ever pass from hand to hand, and that when they are received in payment of accounts, or change of the larger notes, that they are speedily exchanged for Bank paper. We have recently heard a respected Scottish clergyman state that he had not seen a sovereign in his own immediate district for more than two years. It is perfectly manifest, therefore, that the same str i ngent rules as to a reserve of bul lion would not be required in either of the sister countries. Both were, however, dealt with precisely in the same manner and subjected to the same regu lations th a t were enforced in England, where the ab. surd law ag a i nst the rcirculationcarrying of notes under .51. fe made gold n ecessary rryingon the ordinary The business of th e country. Scotch and Irish banks were permitt e d to issue certaina euetof quan tity of notes, bein g th e average am their circulation for twelve wee k s previous to the pass ing of the Act of 1844, an d they were compelled to keep bullion in their vaults equa l to the amount of ttie notes that might be issued beyond the fixed quantity. The same rule was also made with respect to the country banters in the several districts of England. In consequence of this law, a sum which, generally speaking, exceeds 3,000,0001. sterling in gold, is kept uselessly hoarded in the sister kingdoms, by far the greater portion of which might be substi tuted fur Bank of England notes, and would thus give great additional strength to that body. The 2,000,000/. sterling for which it is said they are now in treaty with the Emperor of RUSSIA, if indeed all the arrangements of the transaction have not already been concluded, might easily be spared from the Scotch and Irish banks, with great benefit to all the parties con cerned. We cannot conceive what the most zealous bullionist could require—so long as any description of notes are tolerated—more than that the notes in cir culation throughout the country should at all times be convertible into gold on demand. It would surely 1 trt E SUN, LONDON, We have put forward the above, in order to show the unnecessary stringency of the present laws, and that much of the suffering which has taken place might have been avoided without the princi?le of a convertible currency being in any manner touched upon. We do not, however, conceive that anything but an issue of State paper, an ample currency which will be received in payment of all the national burdens of taxation and duties of every de scription, and which will be secured on all the national resources, will ever be effectual or give permanent prosperity to the country, and save us from the fluctuations to which we have been pe riodically exposed, and which have had such injurious results. 'We would again direct the attention of our readers to Russia, where there was no attempt to alter the nature of the currency after the war ; they kept the paper out, and it is out to this time, and answers all the internal wants of the country ; and Lord ASHBURTON, one of the most able financiers of this or any other land, in his evidence before the Committee of the House of Commons on agriculture in 1836, stated it as his opinion that "by doing so they had kept money in pretty tolerable steadiness." We have seen the result which has allowed the AUTOCRAT to invest, since the month of March last, 6,600,0001. in . , the French and English funds, and to lend two m lions sterling in addition to the Bank of England at the present crisis. Notwithstanding which, an enormous amount of bullion is still remaining in his hands. How long will the British nation suffer its prosperity to be frittered away, and its children pauperised and exposed to every species of privation, from an obstinate adherence to theories, and to a system that has occasion€d such wide-spread misery ? Having referred so repeatedly to the advantages accruing from the employment of a deodorizing and disinfecting fluid, it is but reasonable that we should in some measure explain the proportions and pro perties of the different ingredients. From experi ments recently made in the Observatoire of Paris, it has been conclusively shown that the use of simple sulphate of iron is altogether ineffectual in preventing the deleterious exhalations arising from the decompo sition of animal matter. Another preparation was found to be absolutely necessary for the purification of a vitiated atmosphere. M. LEDOYEN and Sir WILLIAm BURNET have proved that the discovery of some such substitute was practicable, and a recent com munication from Mr. FORDRED, published in the columns of a medical contemporary, explains how that substitute may be manufactured with facility and with comparatively little expense.* That the employment of such a compound is almost miracu lously beneficial has been attested by the various experiments made at Brussels, at Paris, at Liverpool, in the metropolis, and elsewhere. Nor are the ad vantages produced by the application of the disinfect ing fluid merely partial or temporary, they are declared to be complete, instantaneous, and permanent, upon the authority of Mr. CHARLES ELLERMAN. And besides destroying the effluvia and vapours which are found to be so prejudicial to health, the liquid changes these pestiferous substances into the most nutritious of all manures. It has been demonstrated by THENARD and DUPUYTREN that when the air is infected by 1-300th part of sul phuretted hydrogen the life of man ceases; that when it is infected by 1-1000th part dogs are suf focated; and that birds expire when it is infected by merely 1-1,500 th part. So destructive is this terrible gas ! And it is this gas which is principally evolved from the drains and cesspools from the decay of the feculent matter accumulated therein—the azote changing into ammonia, and the sulphur into sulphuretted hydrogen. Now these pernicious evaporations are altogether prevented by the employment of the disinfecting fluid, that fluid neutralizing the deleterious gases by changing them into salts, and by so doing materially enhancing the value of the putrescent matter for agri cultural purposes. How far this assertion is correct is shown by the emphatic declaration of JUSTUS Luria (see Agricutural Chemistry, p. 365), that " all the qualifications necessary for agricultural purposes are to be found in solid and liquid feculent matter ; they not only containing ammonia, but alkali, silicates, phosphorites, and sulphates, in the proportions requisite for cultivation." Left, however, in a state of gradual decomposition, the feculent matter has an injurious instead of a nutritive effect upon vegetation, the leaves and even the stalks of plants being blighted by the copious disengagement of sulphuretted hydrogen. By the infusion of the disenfecting fluid therefor, the sulphuretted hydro gen is changed into a salt which imparts a new ex cellenc_..e to the soil as a manure." The extensive application of the liquid to which we have alluded would consequently be productive of a twofold advantage. It would purify the air in the most pestilential localities, and tend to the develop ment of our agricultural resources. It would dim nish disease and increase vegetation. It wou:,: lighten the responsibilities of the Sanitary Commis sioners, and render the arable land throughout the country more productive. If anything deserves the encouragement of the Health of Towns and Health of London Associations, it is this. If anythingmerits * According to the statement made by this gentleman Journal,mmacayeutheice/alcheap and efficacious d to isi t n h f e ec P ta i n ea t r Prepareds f. 3 107 s :--- Dry white lead, 21bs avoirdupois; Nitric acid (commerCial) 10 • • Sufficient water to makeup oonz. avoirdupois; The lead is first placed in a large pan, or convenient size, and the acid, mingled w • other ve sse l of its bulk of water, is then poured on to n th e times mixture being well stirred up with a stick. Immediately le fu l, the the effervescence has ceased the remainder of itrdiately should be added, and the liquid is then ready for e use e t n r these proportions,—one part of the solution m i xed with two parts of water, for spr ink ling about apartm ents , and a pint of the solution to a pa i lful of water for disinfect. ing drains or open cesspools, answer every purpose if these notes were exchange able at head- quarters, and the places where the demand might be made not unnecessarily multiplied ; the prin ciple would surely not be in any degree endangered by carrying the principle of Lord ALTHORP'S Act to the fullest extent, and making Bank of England notes a legal tender in every part of the country, except at the principal office of the Bank itself. By this means the dangerous consequences of a run for gold would be greatly mitigated. The only reasonable objection that could be offered against the circulation of one-pound notes throughout the country is the possible results in the case of a panic, or at a period of great political excitement. In order to avoid this shadow, real evil is encountered. In consequence of the subtraction of the small-note cur rency, no less than 50,000,0001. sterling, in gold and silver is used merely as a token in passing from hand to hand. We venture to affirm that if one pound notes were sanctioned, the tenth part, or, under the most unfavourable circumstances, the fifth part of that amount would be amply sufficient for every purpose, and that at the very least 40,000,0001. might be given to the Bank in exchange for small notes. How greatly would this improve the position and add to the stability of that corporation, supposing, erempli gratis, that 20,000,0001. of notes bad been issued from the issue department, the amount in gold in their coffers should, according to the terms of the Act, be 6,000,0001. This would give a proportion of but thirty per cent. of bullion to the paper issued against it, or only six shillings in the pound, a rath, - discreditable dividend if the Bank were cail,u on to pay; but if we further take into account the amount of the deposits, public and pri vate, which on the average may be taken at from fifteen to sixteen millions sterling, every farthing of which should also be paid in gold, if demanded, we should find that proportion still further reduced, and that the dividend in gold would not much exceed 3s. 6d. in the pound—a melancholy instance, as some of our contemporaries would say, of over trading and over-speculation, and of the impolicy of investing capital in investments not immediately con vertible. Now, if small notes were sanctioned, and even 20,000,0001. (only one-half of the 40,000,0001.), were exchanged therefor at the Bank, we should find that there would be 26,000,0001. of gold against 40,000,0001. of notes, or 65 per cent., and if the fifteen millions of deposits were added to the former, there would still be twenty-six millions of gold against fifty-five millions of liabilities of every description, or nearly 48 per cent. We need scarcely say which would be the safer position for the Bank, or in which case there would be the greatest probability of their being unable to meet every demand upon them in specie. The Patria of Florence, of the 26th ult., an nounces the arrival, on the 22d, at Gallitano, of the Modenese troops, accompanied by Commissioner Azzr, who soon after called upon the Tuscan Com missary Advocate Brazicnim, desiring him to give up to him the possession of the place. Signor Burr- CIIINI refused, alleging that he had received no orders from his Government. But on the evening of the same day Signor Azzr insisted, and took possession de facto. Signor BIANCIIINI has protested against this act. Several proclamations of the Modenese Government were posted up soon afterwards. The province of Fivizzano has a surface of 90 square miles, 51 parishes, and 16,000 inhabitants ; the annual revenue is about 40,000 f. Florence was the scene of a disturbance on the 25th. One PAOLINI, belonging to the old police, called birri, and hated by the people on account of former arbitrary acts, arrested a blind beggar. Some persons who witnessed the arrest disapproved of it ; the crowd increased and rescued the beggar. The commissary of Santo Spi rit°, to appease the people, had PAOLINI put into an open carriage and taken to prison. But the news having spread, the crowd became more dense, and PAOLINI was assaulted. Other bodies of people at tacked some guard-houses, and burnt the furniture ; at the old police-office, the Bargello, several persons imprisoned for debt were set at liberty. All this took place so suddenly that the civic guard was not in time to prevent it; that body, however, soon in- terfered most successfully, and the tumult was quelled on all points in less than an hour. The Marquis RIDOLFI, Minister of the Interior, wrote a letter in the name of the GRAND DUKE to the commander of the civic guard, on the 26th, in which he passes the highest eulogium on the behaviour of that body, not withstanding the imperfect state of their present organization. Lord MINTO was to leave Florence for Rome on the 29th ult. Count BuEssox arrived at Naples on the 23d. Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have arrived. The Marquis of MIRAFLORES, the Marquis of MALPICA, and all the members of the old Christina Camarilla are restored, and Queen ISABELLA is com pletely isolated, her only associates being her Lu- CRETIA of a mother, and her SOLOMON of a husband. The Eco del Cumercio denouhces a gross jub which, it is said, the Ministry intend to attempt to perpe trate for the behoof of MARIA CHRISTINA. It is in tended to demand from the Cortes permission to pay Queen CHRISTINA in capital the amount of her annual pension, calculated at the number of years she may be expected to live. The Eco supposes that her MA JESTY'S life may be extended to thirty years, in which case it calculates that the country would be called on to pay about 90,000,000 reals (twenty-two and a half millions of francs), which it says would allow a nominal capital of upwards of 300,000,000 reals in Three per Cents. to be purchased. It is probably in order to carry out this precious scheme that the portfolio of finance is to be intrusted to the cunning !Asturian avogado Senor MoN, who has recently returned from Paris with a programme drawn up by Louis PHILIPPE and M. GUIZOT, of which this conversion forms probably no unimportant part, furnishing, as it will do, a large and available capital for carrying on the wholesale bribery by means of which ,alone the MONTPENSIER succession can be secured. It was rumoured in Madrid that ESPARTERO had accepted the London Embassy. The Carlists have appeared in great force in Ar ragon and in Catalonia; they are more threatening and stronger than ever. MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 28.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26! at fifty days ; the Five per Cents. at 161 for paper; the Debt without Interest at 51 ; and the Coupons at 124. Tuesday being All Saints' day, is observed as a festival in Paris, and none of the papers, with the exception of Galignanis Messenger, are in general published on that day. The Journal des _Wats, however, contrary to usual custom, published a half sheet, containing important news from Switzerland, which will be found, in extenso, in another column. Civil war appears to be inevitable. The Diet refused to refer the question of the Jesuits to the Porz (it could hardly be expected that they would consent to such a proposition, involving, as it did, the admission of the principle of the right of intervention, on the part: of a foreign power, in the internal affairs of Switzerland) ; a proposition for renewed negotiations, and a mutual disarmament, was likewise rejected ; ' and the deputies of the Sonderbund departed from Berne. This last proposition was about the most jesuitical that could have been made. The disarma ment, on the part of the Sonderbund cantons, would be a farce. The arms would be probably placed in a depot at Lucerne, and by means of the lake of the four cantons, Uri, Schywtz, Ii nterwalden, Zug, and Lucerne could communicate with each other in two hours, and in one day would all be armed; whereas the Liberal cantons, scattered about around the circumference of these five cantons, would require weeks, perhaps months of preparation, to again assemble and arm their troops. Besides, after the all but expressed determination of M. Gurzi)r to interfere by force in support of the Jesuits, it ~uld be worse than folly for the Diet to listen for aoment to any fallacious propositions for a general ..sarmament. We, however, take note of the fact, that the deputies of the Sonderbund have declared that they will submit to the POPE, and from the liberal spirit which Plus IX. has manifested, we trust that he will order the dissolution of the league, and the withdrawal of the Jesuits, and thus avert civil war from Switzerland. As a proof of what Jesuit rule is in Lucerne, we may remark that while a Catholic pauper who cannot read or writels per mitted to rote in the election of members of the Council, a Protestant, no matter how highly educated, how talented, or how honest, is deprived of the fran chise. This deprivation of the Protestants of their franchise is the work of the Jesuits.

Humanity and economy alike demand its adoption. Although we yesterday particularised the diseases of the respiratory organs, such as inflammation of the lungs and consumption, as among those which would be perceptibly diminished in frequency by the purification of the atmosphere, we would by no means have it inferred that other maladies would not be thereby in like manner most beneficially affected. Without referring in particular to other and more ordinary diseases, we would direct especial atten tion to the influence of vitiated air in the cities ravaged by the Asiatic Cholera. How much would not cleanliness do towards mitigating the terrors of that dismal visitation ? And, of all kinds of cleanliness, which is more essential or more commendable than the purity of the very air we breathe ? It is just asserted in the first number of a new Sanitary Organ, published monthly, and called the Journal of Public Health—a periodical, the ap pearance of which we hail with the more satisfaction from its starting into existence at a period so pecu liarly opportune—it is just asserted in the Journal of Public Heath that" Cholera is always most virulent in its attacks in those localities where sanitary mea sures are most neglected." This fact is incontrover tihl., ; it is more stubborn than the most stubborn of m :les. And of all the sanitary measures which have ,en universally neglected, that measure is notoriously the most requisite which would remove the causes of vitiation in the atmosphere of our towns and cities, and tend to the adequate ventilation of our houses and workshops. That measure, more over, would instantaneously and peculiarly affect those physical evils which are prevalent throughout the United Kingdom, evils which (to quote the language employed on the 22d of Septem ber by the Judge-Advocate General, when that Right Honourable Gentleman was addressing his constitu ents at Liskeard), "by a little management, could be removed at a very little expense." How small the expense, would be in this particular is obvious. As to the management, we leave that with confidence to the Government and the Sanitary Commissioners.

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. A new play, entitled Joh n S av il e o f Hayseed,producedwa h s istoric here last night, with complete success. It is from the pen of the Rev. James White, the author of Feudal Times, and is distin guished for that smoothness of versificati on an d beauty of diction which ha s hith er t o c h arac t er i se d all the dramatic productions of Mr. White. The scene is laid in England, in the time of Charles 1., and the catastrophe consists in the assassination of the profligate Duke of Buckingham, by Felton, the contumelious rejection of whose suit for a captaincy occurs at the commencement of the play. John Savile (Mr. Phelps), a country gentleman, residing at Ilaysted Hall, receives the di sa pp o i n t e d F e lt on (Mr. G. Bennett) in his homestead, and many are the anathemas uttered by John Savile against the grind ing extortions of the favourite Buckingham. John Savile has one daughter, Lilian (Miss Laura Addi son), a girl full of romance and an adorer of chivalry, who in our days would have been a Young Englander. She cannot believe that such a chivalrous character as the Duke of Buckingham would know ingly commit extortion or wrong, and she waxes warm in his praises. Buckingham (Mr. Marston), having become acquainted with the idolatry of Lilian introduces himself to the house in disguise, and un dertakes to conduct her to Buckingham, to plead her father's and her country's cause with the god of her idolatry. h av i ng succee d e d i n seducing her from her home and her father's protection, the paragon of chivalry proclaims his rank, and attempts to seduce his victim. His suit is rejected with indignation by the in sulted Lilian, and in this scene the acting of Miss Addison was magnificent. Felton, who has dis covered the flight of Lilian, follows the fugitives, and in the streets of Portsmouth stabs the "paragon of chivalry " to the heart, while Lilian, who has poisoned herself to save her virtue, falls dead into her father's arms. The piece was beautifully acted throughout, and was completely successful. Miss Addison and the other principal artists were called before the curtain, and there were repeated calls for the author, who, however, was not in the house, or at least did not choose to show himself. The house was crowded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WORCESTER AUTUMN RACES.—YESTERDAY. Me Selling Stakes of 5 sovs. each, and 20 added; for three yrs old, &c. Heats. One mile and a quarter. Mr. H.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL IN E S. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy, with prices of American id. lower for the week, and Surats id. below last Friday's quotations. The sales amount to 3,000 bags, of which 500 were Ame rican, for export, and include 2,500 American, at sd. to 6d.; 250 Surat, at 38d. to 4d.; and 50 Egyptian, at lid. to Bd.—The Share market was firm, but there was not much business doing. At the sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., prices were drooping, but there was no change of note. The following are a few of the quotations:— Leicester &Bedford, Exchange Certificate £0 11 0 Buckinghamshire Great Northern ...... 2 9 0 Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 6 16 0 Shrewsbury and Birmingham (A) 2 9 0 Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston 0 15 0 Lond.m and Blackwell, No. 1 Madrid and Valencia North British, Thirds North Staffordshire Eastern Counties ...... ........ Shropshire. Union and Canal 1 3 0 Manchester and Southampton.. Taw Vale Extension and Dock Eastern Counties, York Extension 7 16 0 There are a few of the letters received from Liver pool and Manchester to-day which have a more confi dent bearing in their tone as to future prospects. It was anticipated, however, that the country orders for goods would have come in more freely. The suspension of payments by the firm of Coates and Company and its branch firms at Manchester had been a heavy blow to the expectations of holders of stocks of manufactured fabrics, as certainly business was expected to be done for export to the United States, if not for large, at least for moderate amounts of goods. This is likely to be a very blank day indeed in the colonial markets, not one public sale of produce being announced, and only a trifling amount of " odds and ends" being declared, to attract buyers interested. We regret to have to announce that information has been received this morning of the suspension of pay ments by the Honiton Bank. The London agents are Messrs. Lubbock and Company, but it is represented that they are well protected. It is hardly safe to notice the amount for which the bank has failed. They were privileged to issue: to the sum of about 19,0201. The house went under the names of Mr. Christopher Samuel Flood and Harry Buckland Lott. The event has not created_any excitement in the City. There is a meeting now being held of the creditors of the firm of Messrs. Samuel Philips and Co. It is yet too early to give the result. The memorandum of Coffee exported from Colombo shows that in ten years the quantity has been more than quintupled. With the exception of a small quantity shipped at Galle, all this coffee trade is concentrated at Colombo ; and the total imports and exports of the port last year, it will be seen, tell little short of a million and a half sterling. In 1836 the whole trade of the island, export and import, was valued at little less than a third of this sum, viz. 411,1671.; and in 1826, twenty-one years ago, the whole trade of the colony was valued at only 309,7471. Estimated quantity-4847, 240,000 cwt. Value of Imports and Exports for 1846—Imports, 1,011,289/. 1 ls. 10d. ; exports, 467,6201. 7s. 2d. Vessels Inwards and Outwards—lnwards, 990 vessels, 93,076 tons; outwards, 999 vessels, 91,468 tons. A material change has taken place in the aspect of the Money market. Consols have advanced from 82k to 83k. Some very excellent business has been done. It has been hinted that the directors of the Bank have been in conclave to reduce the rate of interest. At the present time of writing no official intimation has ap peared. The fluctuations in Consols for the Account stand thus as yet, opened at 82;1, then H, then then a jump up to 83, at which they remain firm, rather buyers. Bank Stock has risen from 184 to 186, the Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. from 82i to 82k. and the Three per Cents. Consols from 82k to s. The premium upon Ex chequer -bills has touched 19s. discount, but a sale has been made at 14s. East India Bonds are at 35 discount. In the Foreign Stocks the only business done was in Austrian at 1001,‘in Danish 79 to 80, in Belgian at 87 ex-div., and in Dutch Four per Cents. Certificates at 81i. The Railway Share Market is generally reported to wear a more favourable aspect to-day. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 184 186 3 per Cent.

They are a very neat coin, about the size of a farthing, the centre being formed of silver, having on the Majesty, an d on t h e o b verse the surrounded with a r i m o f copper, in scribed "The side numeral a profile scribed Model Penny." Five.shilling pieces, with, gold centres and silver rims, made on the same principle are coming out. A CAUTION TO PLAINTIFFS IN THE NEW COUNTY COURTS.—In the Bloomsbury County Court yesterday, a plaintiff, on being called several times, did not appear, and the defendant, alluding to a provision in the Act, asked the Court to award him some compensation for his loss of time in appearing to the summo ns . Th e Clerk of the Court told hi m he must pay the usual fee in the office before he could be heard. The defendant paid the fee and renewed the application. The Court allowed him the expenses he had paid, and a further sum for his trouble and loss of time. The money was ordered to be paid into Court. By the 79th section it is enacted that a Judge in his discretion may award a sum for the trouble and attendance of a defendant. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday evening,' Mr. Bedford held an inquest, at the Grange Tavern, Carey street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, on view of the body of Wil liam Allen, aged 35, who lived at No. 51, Charles street, Drury-lane, and who got a miserable subsistence by picking up bones in the streets. It appeared from the evidence that on Monday last, the deceased, while in the pursuit of his calling, picked up a piece of paper in Quebec-mews, which contained something like sugar, which he ate, and which he subsequently said was poison. He went home about four o'clock, when one of the lod gers took him to St. Giles's workhouse. At five o'clock, he was conveyed to King's College Hospital, where he died the following morning, about two o'clock. Mr. Tanner, surgeon, said that the body was emaciated, and the stomach, with the intestines,_ were inflamed by the effect of some irritant poison. He analysed the contents, in which he was satisfied of the presence of arsenic, of which he must have taken a large quantity. He stated that arsenic had a sweet taste. Verdict r --" That the deceased died from the effects of arsenic, taken by him self, not knowing it to be arsenic." SALE OF THE LIBRARY OF THE LATE BISHOP OF CORK.—Yesterday the sale of the valuable library of the late Dr. Murphy, Roman Catholic Bishop of Cork, was commenced by Messrs. Sotheby, the auctioneers, of Wel lington-street, Strand. This extraordinary collection of theological books will take upwards of sixty days in their disposal, and it is a singular circumstance that the greatest portion consists of works of the most eminent Protestant divines, and of the greatest rarity. Those sold yesterday fetched good prices, but there was nothing worthy of especial notice. MR. TEMPLETON.—We perceive from the Scotch papers that our great tenor singer is winning " golden opinions "in his native land. He has recently visited nearly every principal town in Scotland, and has every where been received with the most unbounded enthusi asm. He gave a concert at Kilmarnock on Friday, of which the Ayr Observer speaks in the following terms : —Templeton's concert came off on Friday evening, in the large assembly room of the George Hotel, which was densely crowded. Several of the neighbouring aristo cracy and other "distinguishes" were present. The programme was similar to that of the entertainments he has lately given in the surrounding districts, and which have been attended with such marked success. " Tell her I love her," " Sally in our alley," " The meeting of the waters," " The Minstrel Boy," the grand scene, " All is lost now," and " Old Towler" procured the most rapturous encores ; while " The brisk young lad" convulsed the assemblage with laughter, who testified their applause by the loudest encores. The company seemed to be also exceedingly delighted with Mr. Tem eleton's literary part of the evening's entertainment I,lr. Blewitt presided at the piano in his usual masterly manner, and his singing of his two racy productions, " The littl e f a t grey man " an d " N o b o d y pops the question" hid the effect of sending the audience away in the greatest good humour. llALtv‘ica, Nov. 3.—The Courier ha. becn goc off shore without damage, and proceeded this morning. The schooner referred to yesterday proves to be the Re gent, of Leith, Wemyss, to Ch aren t e , h as b e en assi s ted In, and must discharge to repair. MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.) HAY MA.REETS.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DA Y ' ) (Sittings in Banco.) UNDERMINING IdOUSES.--RILTON V. LORD G RANvIL, he This was a trial at b ar , an d t oo k p l ace d ur ing last term. It was an action to recover compen,s ati ,f r in damages for the alleged negligent working or, e ,;, - tain mines at Newcastle-under-Lyme by the ae" --- dant, by which the foundations of some houses P °s; sessed by the pl a i n tiff gave way, and were t h e refor e seriously i n j ure d. Th e j ury found for the ploindt on the first an d secon d i ssues—namely, that h e ha right to the f oun d a ti ons o f h i s houses, and awar u tha him 30!. dam ages f or t h e negl i gent wor ki ng 01f se. mine by the defendant • but they found for the e et fendant on the fourth Plea, which was to the e", e 4 that he had a right to the minerals, and that it fr o been the custom from time immemorial to wor k mines in the district in a similar manner. nt The ATTORNEY-GENERAL D OW move d, pursua permission reser v ed b y th e C ourt, f or a ru le Valli upon the plaintiff t o s h ow cause w h y the ver °l should not be entered for the defendant on the first on e. second issues ; or w hy th e ver di ct s h ou ld not be r stricted to the fi rs t i ssue . Th e d ec l ara ti o n av er t r h e that the foundati ons h a d b een un d erm i ne d by e negligent and improper working of the defendso he and that he (the pl a i n tiff ) was en titl e d t o en.l°Y , i t pa foundations without hi n d rance . N ow , h e eontenu-d that the finding was inconsistent, a n d th a t the r ee ° r should come under the review of th e C our t, in orde t that it might be amended, so th a t th e ma tt e r night be re-opened and discussed ; f or i t was o b v i o us t ha t there was some misco ns t ruc ti on i n the m i n d s of th e jury with respect to the words "negligent working* There was no evidence to show that this was the ea, s , o , `" in fact they f oun d t h e defendants bad a r i g ht work the mine, and if that were so , how could i t u e said that the plaintiff was entitled to enjoy the fou l " - dations without hindrance or disturbance ? Mr. Serjeant TALFOURD, on the part of the p/ain ti rd• applied for a rule to show cause why the plaint' d should not have judgment on the damages aword e him. Lord DENMAN—These pai ties ought to have wl;ifit ever rules they apply for, because the matter require; further discussion.

THESIGER said, in this case, he had to Or l i for a rule for a new trial, principally on affidavits. The action was brought to recover compensation in damages for criminal conversation, and was tried be fore Mr. Justice Wi g h tman during the If term, and a verdi c t was returned for the u'"fi , fendant, owing t o th e i nability of the plaints to prove the h an d wr i t i ng of the defendant i n • letter of a tender nature, which he had addressed to wife. It appea re d th at M r. Gadsby was a comm erciA traveller, and was compe ll ed frequently to be a bsent from tow n f or the firm with which he was conne cted, and also to remain until a late hour at the counting house in the City, but there was not the slightestlini; putation on his conduct towards his wife. reside defendant, who wa s a marr i e d man , came to _ next door to the plaintiff, in Ellcumbe - t errac h e ; Islington, which was called f rom th e father 0 f t 4 . e. plaintiff's wife, a publican, w h o res id e d nea rly opp 05 1; The plaintiff and defendant were almost entirelY strangers to each other, but a s t ron g in tilnil if c7 o appeared to have sprung up b e t ween the plaint' visited wife and the defendant, and th a t h e f reque ntly her during the absence of h er h us b an d. The evid eric with respect to th e alleged criminal inter course between the parti es mainly, if not altogether, rested upon two very important facts—the first being t, n l _ circumstances which occurred one night prior to tt plaintiff's wife going into the country', and the second t a letter alleged to have been written by the defendant to Mrs. Gadsby, whilst staying at Bloomfield which he (the Learned Counsel) read to the jurY b l ie his opening, thinking that he should have been to prove th a t it was written by him. Strong evidence was adduced at the trial that an improper intinfl d subsisted bet ween t h e parties ; for instance, s he been seen weari ng a Daguereotype portrait of the into fendant, and to kiss it ; a l so th a t he was admitted the lady's b e d- room b ut two or t h ree d a ys a fter confinement ; and it was proved by the servant, Abher garet Davidson, whose evidence was not contr adicted in a single p o i n t , an d w h ose cre dit was n ot impugned, that the d e f en d an t at thi s ti me ca me late In the evening and rema i ne d un til h a lf past ten at nig ni , that her father o pp os ite, seeing a light, came over , an inquired why his daughter had not gone to bed, when
