EVENING QED moN. ' NATAL ' INTELLIGENCE. . ____ (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 31.—The Sapphire troop ship, Mr. Bellamy, Commander, arrived yesterday from Que bec, with the 66th regiment on board (consisting of 32.6 men), and invalids from the Lakes, and Mr. F. L. Barnard (just promoted to the rank of Lieutenant), and a Mate. The Sapphire has also brought home some convicts. The 66th regiment has been landed, and have taken up their quarters at Gosport. The Britannia, 120, Captain Drake, with the 'flag of Rear-Admiral Sir John Ommanney, K.C.8., and the Howe, 120, Captain Sir W. 0. Pell, unmoored this evening, and will proceed to the Mediterranean to-mor row morning. The Hecate steam frigate, for the same quarter, is only detained for the survey of the surgeon's stores, in consequence of that officer having been dis missed the ship, and for his successor joining, but she will go to sea to-morrow. These large ships were paid wages on Thursday, and inspected yesterday by Admi ral Sir E. Codrington, who expressed himself highly gra tified with their appearance, both as respects crews and ships ; each ship will go to sea with nearly 1,100 men on board, as they carry out upwards of 350 disposable men for the fleet, of the very best description—they, as well as the Salamander, are filled with ordnance and commis sariat stores. Admiral Ommanney takes his two daugh ters and the Hon. Mrs. Byng to Malta. The Vanguard sailed on the 13th from Malta, for the coast of Syria, and the Rodney, which arrived there en the same day, was shortly to follow. Commander Ommanney takes passage in the Britan nia, as an amateur at the seat of war. The Winchester, 50, with Vice-Admiral Sir T. Har- vey's flag, the Vestal, 26, Captain Carter, and Pilot, 18, arrived at Halifax, from Quebec, on the 10th October. The Pelican, 18, is ordered for commission at Cha tham, by Commander C. Napier. The Iris, 26, is to be commissioned immediately by Captain Hugh Nurse, at Plymouth. The Driver, steam frigate, building in this dockyard, is ordered to be completed by the Ist of January next. The crew of the Queen was turned over from the Donegal on Thursday last ; she has three hundred dis posable seamen on board. The Modea steam frigate, Commander Warden, ar rived at Gibraltar on the 9th instant, in six days from Piyrneuth, with a detachment of the 33d regiment, and left the following day for Malta, which she reached on the 13tb. Tae Vesuvius steam frigate arrived at Gi b raltar on the 13th instant, with detachments of the Ist (Royals), and 921 regiment, and proceeded Clic same day to Malta. Ttie Comas, 16, aha Rover, 16, were at Jamaica on the 28th August. The Alban steam vessel, and the Pantaloon, 10, ar rived yesterday, tee former from Liverpool with 55 new'y•rais'ed men ; and the latter, from the coast of Sussex, with 20 men. The Pantaloon proceeds to morrow to assist the Inconstant in raising seamen at B entry Bay. Tire Raven, also with men, arrived on Tur;dav from Liverpool. The - Sappho, 18, le!t Jamaica for Honduras and Eng land, cn the 27th Aagut. The Li!y, 16, returned from the Mauritius to the C ipe of Good Hope on the 6th August. Toe Salamander steam frigate arrived yesterday from Woolwich, with an Ordnance boy in tow, loadol with ammunition nod munitions of war, which have been lanled at the Gun-wharf ; also with 120 seamen for general service : so much for men being scarce. tier Majesty's brig:a:aloe Charybdis, Lieut.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (SATURDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—By the accounts from Liverpool it ap pears that the restriction of discounts by the branch of the Bank of England in that place, acting on the or ders from home, has become extremely rigid ; so much so, that one of the richest private bankers was refused discount for bills having only a few days to run. The joint-stock banks in Manchester have raised their rate to 6 per cent. and are curtailing accommodation as much as possible. The private bankers are more free in their loans, but demand a still higher rate, 7 per cent, having been given on the best bills, having three and four months to run, of the merchants and manufac turers, and endorsed by the joint-stock banks. This has proved, however, a great relief, and the terms have been readily submitted to, so essential is a supply at this time for the autumnal trade. Among parties of a lower class of credit the pressure has, of course, been very severe, and as high as 10 or 12 per cent. has been given on bills that would be termed good at any other time, but not bearing a banker's endorsement. A great number of short bills have been sent up by the joint-stock banks to the London bill-brokers for discount. Long Bills they refuse to discount on ac count of the late Bank notice. Some bills were refused by a broker at a discount of 6 per cent. and k per cent. commission. In the English funds a good deal of business was transacted to-day, and among the bargains closed in Consols were several purchases, ranging from 25,0001. to 50,000/. for investment. Accounts from St. John's, New Brunswick, to the 10th of October inclusive, have been received. Fre derickten would for the future, it was understood, be tln military head-quarters. Au union, sirhilar to that of Upper and Lower Canada, was, it is said, contem pL: ed between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The weather was mild. The thermometer at ten o'clock was at 70 degrees—something unusual in 46 degrees of north latitude. The last papers received from St. Lucia allude to the general state of affairs in the island, and.state that en the whole they were much more satisfactory than had been represented. It was true that in common with the other West India islands the crops suffered severely from the late dry weather, but taking the island in proportion to its means and in comparison with Jamaica, Barbadoas, and other of Ill.! West India colonies, there bad been less falling air in iho crop than in any of the neighbouring colonies. The recent and favourable rain had been all that could he desired, and there was every prospect of a fair crop fer next year. The conduct of the peasantry was (Term ttoo-d. At St. Lucia news bad been received from Murtinique that the new Governor, M. Duval D'Ailly, vi arrived there on the 22d of August. Private letters from Milan. dated the 24th of Octo• b,r, mention the excitement which hat prevailed there urn the subject of a war with France, and which, from the altered aspect of affairs, may, probably have d , :creased since the date. The literary periodicals are said to be abandoned for those on political to pics, information on which however, not obtain without dill - leaky, as Galignanes illesseager, the Ga:eite de France, and the Quotilienne, which are loreigii papers licensed in Milan, are sab _ tha _ . lec!ed to a severe scrutiny at the censor's oPlce, account of the extracts from other papers which they contain, as well as the warlike tone even of these irgitimatist journals. In the event of a war, the French were expected on the side of the Alps, that being deenied the most feasible point for an attack. The Milanese .tre, however, not unprotected. They are guarded on lice west by Piedmont, an armed neutrality whidli is sup ported hr 60,000 of well disciplined troops. By the Tyro!, its fortresses, and the Bavarian contingent. the Ati,trians can easily collect 150,000 men on the Swiss rontier,. without weakening their fortresses in Lombardy. Toc feelings of the people of 'Milan are described as not being, on the whole, hastile to the Austrian powtr, ;lad it - is supposed that the coronation amnesty of the Eliperor did much to mitigate the natural hatred of the Italians. POST.—The financial news from Spain is interest- I ing. It appears that the Junta of Madrid has ad dres:ed to the Special Commission of War and Ecance :el official communication ordering the collection and exam i na ti o n o f all the operations for loans, contr:- .Is, leases, &e., made by the Government since 1. '.;-:, nib a view to their publication. and informing tie public of the means by which the Spanish trea , -ry has been reduced to its present exhausted tt:.,e. and the resources squandered." Tnis order, if fully complied with, was expected to produce en i ehibition. of " jobbing and corruption" of whieli the equal was never seen in any country laying the smallest claim to civilisation or honesty." - The characters of individuals both here and at • Paris, as well as at the fountain head of the iniquity, win be vitally affected by the exposure, and it is to be hoped ' that means msy be founde making them disgorge their ill-acquired wealth. We should have thought, indeed, that enough had been already disclosed to warrant an indictment against them. The order we have just quoted is one of the first moves of the new Executive, and we infer from the circumstance that an effort of same kind will be made to restore the prostrate credit of Spain. The exposure of past frauds on the part of the Ministers and their agents, will not alone prove a gua rantee against future ones. The severest punishment must be inflicted upon the criminals, and such repa ration afforded to those who have suffered by them as may be within the reach of the Junta. The Treasury Bill affair is a case to which the promptest attention should be given. That . business involved the most unexampled treachery and falsehood. The trifle in question were advertised by the London Embassy to be paid off on a given day. This was in 1836 ; but there was a dethur, and a second advertisement ap peared stating that payment would certainly take place • within " a short delay," the Queen Regent and the Cortes being specially pledged to the faithful liquida tion of them. Four years have elapsed to day since this Spanish Exchequer paper became due, and not one farthing has been received upon it in the shape either of principal or interest. The term " short delay" is • indefinite, we allow, but it cannot, at all events, signify a delay of four years, especially as a day of payment bad been previously fixed. Mr. Isaac Lyon Goldsmid issued the bills to the public, and another occasion now presents itself to him of insisting upon the discharge of at least the interest that has accrued upon them, which amounts to 201. per cent. He ought not, in fact, to rest for a moment until he gets the money. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAY. ' . (From the Morning Herald.) The spirit and tone in which the supporters of Lord Lyndhurst's pretensions to the High Stewardship of the University of Cambridge, carry on the controversial part of the election - struggle, is nut very creditable to their taste, nor at all indtzative of a very profound reliance upon the legitimate sources of success. Intemperate advocacy betrays rather the irritable sense of weak ness than a calm consciousness of strength. The example of the adversaries of Lord Lyttelton shall not tempt us to emulate the Illiberal acerbity of language which has been called into requisition upon this subject, nor cause - us to deviate from that spirit of calm discus. sicn which ought to characterise a contest of this nature • —a contest fur high office in one of our ancient seats of learning, dedicated to the teaching of those arlis inge nuas, the acquisition of which "Enzollit mores nee stnet esse feros." One of those supporters of Lord Lyndhurst who addressed the electors through the columns of a Morning Journal on Saturday, seems to think that a particularly rude and offensive tone is the most likely to prevail with the learned and polished constituency of 9;ambridge. It is very possible he has made a mistake in this matter. But, whether he has or not, we are quite sure Lord Lyttelton would rather lose the high office which is the subj,:ct of competition, than obtain it by any means unworthy of his character and his position in society. The writer, to whom we allude, brings to his electioneering task such a rabid spirit of vitupera tion. that he actually accuses the friends of Lord Lyt .telton of " Jacobinism"—aye, even of Jacobinism, to which be says, " no parallel can be fouud since the early times of the French revoluti 6 n." This is fine a nd mag , niicquent. Hear him further! " Jacobinism, which at tempts to set aside the ordinances of nature, from a burst of passion amounting almost to madness in a 1 1 lea." It is a very injudicious zeal upon the part of i one wh o a d vocates t h e . cause o f a C o mmissioner for I I the spoliation of cathedral property, to renal to the public mind the recollections of Jacobinism, which was distinguished for nothing more than a passion for e l;; l a 7 ir ati W " ha a t n s d t md h the d eti ll eeLteratitnrsonn,lof Chapterat acin st of f e N oarb,lciischh (,.' th..

Now, let us ask, on which side lies the Jacobinism ? on the side of those who gave such a Bill all the op position in their power ; or of those who, professing to be champions of Conservative principles in the Legislature, either supported that Bill, or did not oppose it ? The Legislature that exercised an arbi trary will in the new disposition of cathedral property, shook the security of all other property. When the 1 Jacobins of the early French Revolution, to whose acts Lord Lyndhurst's friend has so unluckily for his own purpose alluded, were busily engaged in making a " new settlement" of the Church property of France, Ed mund Burke, a man who was wiser before events than the greatest of the modern statesmen of Great Britain are after them, thus spoke of the process of sophistry by which they endeavoured to reconcile the world to their injustice. " Thcy (the Jacobins) say that eccle siastics are fictitious persons, creatures of the State, whom they may at pleasure destroy, and, of course, limit and modify in every particulat—that the goods which they possess are not properly theirs, but belong to the State that created the fiction." It was by this sort of sophistry that the British Legislature was induced to break in upon the sacred ness of Cathedral property, which the State neither gave originally, nor had any right to take away. On Saturday we published a speech of Lord Lyt telton's in opposition to the cathedral despoiling scheme —a speech so distinguished for its enunciation of cor rect principles, for its just reasoning, lucid simplicity of style, and modest ability, that it would do credit to the veteran talents of the most experienced and accom plished member of the senate. It is thus then, in the conclusion of that able and unanswerable speech, the " youthful"—aye, the youthful Lord Lyttleton speaks of the Bill which had its precedent in the " early part of the French Revolution." " It is no consolation to us to know," says his Lordship, " that so dangerous a measure to the Church is promoted by those who have been her ablest defenders. Rather, when I look at this mea sure of wild and baseless confiscation, and see the ve nerable authority under which it is introduced, I can not but tremble. I do not say for the Church or for the establishment of the Church—l tremble for none but those who do wrong ; but for the nation that does this evil—for the age which has produced such a portent." Where is Lord Lyndhurst's speech de nouncing this " measure of wild and baseless confisca tion?" Where is the speech of him, who by his age, his experience, his matured fame, his superiorpolitical emi nence, ought to have taken precedence of Lord Lyttel ton in defending principles and rights to which the Uni versity solicited the support of the professed friends of our ancient institutions ? If there be such a speech in existence, let it be produced. We ask, Where is it g Echo answers, If is it ? Thus we see that when the Senate of the University of Cambridge petitioned the Legislature against a Bill destructive in its principle and pernicious in its example, the youthful Lord Lyt telton was allowed the monopoly of the labour and merit of boldly and energetically opposing that. measure. No complaint was then made by the persons who now ex claim so vehemently against the " youthful . aspirant" to University distinction, that Lord Lyttelton " set aside the ordinances of nature" by-throwing himself with heroic devotion into the post of toil and danger " before that stanch defender of all our vene rated institutions, Lord Lyndhurst." If youth in itself be no objection to taking, a foremost place hi . the Senate of the empire, to fight the battles of the University and of our ancient Constitution, why, we ask, should it be any objection to taking a foremost place in claiming the reward of faithful services when the University has honours to confer ? Is the soldier, who has fought with unflinching courage arid fidelity, even in an unsuccessful cause,• or be who has deserted his colours, and consulted for an' inglorious security, parma non gene relicta, more deserving of the soldier's reward ? Did not the party who sup• ported the measure of t)poliation, against which the senate of the Universty petitioned, calculate upon Lord Lyndhurst as on anxiliary ? And Wit he desert these also in the hcur of need, or not ? Why is it erougtit necessary or decorous by any one advocating the claims of Lord Lyndhurst to indulge in the following tirade against Lord Lyttelton :—" His moral _qualities ha , c not yet developed themselves. He has the ;eduction of a fortune, a good capacity, and a title—no one can tie! how .he will use those advantages. They are, in the common state of human nature, at least as likely to be provocatives to irregularity as incitements to virtue ; surely common prudertee--aurely v.nything but jace binical . fulv, would dictate the sage but timely precaution—wait, wait, till we see how he turns out." How a " good capacity" can be a "provocative to irregularity" we leave the "sage philosopher" who penned the above passage to explain. We believe that all reasonable and impartial people ;sell admit that a young nobleman, with ample fortune, who de votes that . period of youth which many of his rank of i less gifted mind or more ignoble ambition waste in vicious indulgence or frivolous pursuits, to the acqui sition of learning in academic stelnAnn over the mid. night lamp, gives a guarantee to the world that his future years will not he barren of the golden fruit of such early intellectual and moral cultivation. If in tisat early period of life he has had sufficient strength of mind and firmness of principle to resist all the temp o tations which beset high rank and Dfluent fortune, surely it is not to be anticipated that advancing reason will call forth irregularities of conduct which the im passioned and too often thoughtless season of early youth failed to develope. But the " moral qualities" of Lord Lyttelton have developed themselves greatly to his own credit and to the credit of the University and the peerage, to each of whicii iustii.uLions be is as much for his moral as his intellectual qualities an ornament. 4e bears an unstained 'scutcheon. His reputation :s pure and spotless. Illustrious in his lineage, which binds him by more than one tie to our venerated Con stitution, he is not less distinguished for the moral vir tues which shed a greater lustre round nobility than that which it derives from ancestral recollections. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. ( From the Globe.) The question of self-goverment having been treated of in one or two recent articles of the Globe, there has been a fresh stir on the part of its advocates. Among whom a writer—whose letter signed Canuleius was admitted Into this paper on Saturday last,—pro lesses to rank himself. Like many others maintaining the same political doctrines, he proves, by the total ab sence of all temper or moderation in his tone of ad dress, that the government of self has nothing what ever to do with what be calls self-government. He deprecates despotisin, ypt declares that " the producers," by whom he exclusively means those who labour with their hands, ere determined on doing so-and-so, however much the " other classes" may be prejudiced by, or opposed to it ; and with the same sangjroid that the inmate of a house, who had nothing of nis own on the premises, observed, in reply to an alarm of fire, " It's nothing to me, I'm only a lodger," the writer in question declares, in the name of his party, that having nothing at stake he sees no terror in anarchy. If these were the sentiments of the individual alone who has recorded them, they would merit little attention ; but they are unfortunately the ideas of a class whose numbers give them a physical power, which, unre strained or misdirected, may become in the highest degree dangerous to themselves as well as to the other classes of society. He is far from being a friend to the people who invites them to pursue recklessly an onward course by showing them the difficulty that would be found in checking it ; for such progress resembles that of an unguided steam-engine, which, though it may drag ruin and destruction in its train, is sure. to be the first victim of its own violence. It is then the duty of those who desire the well-being of the mass of the commu nity not to place obstacles in the way of the legitimate exercise of the power which the people of a free nation must possess, and ought therefore to enjoy, but to guide it towards objects likely to be really conducive to their happiness. That what is called self-government is far from being necessary to the attainment of tlfis re sult, has very frequently been shown ; and, indeed, its admitted impracticability is the strongest possible proof of its not being designed for the use .of society. Self government, which, in the sense used by its only consist ent advocates, means the ascendancy of each man's indi vidual will, cannot possibly be established until the same will animates the whole community ; for even if a great majority caused its will to prevail, the minority, how ever small, would have a right to complain of being de prived of the privilege of self-government. (From the Standard.) Of the many political parties into which France is divided, that which looks upon the peace of Europe with the deepest and most deliberate malignity, though it is, at the present, the least prominent in the war cry, is undoubtedly' that very party which, if gratitude were not a virtue exiled from the world of politics, ought to be most anxious to maietain a friendly, and even affectionate, relation with the' Four Powers, engaged by the Treaty of July. The party to which we allude is the party of the deposed branch of the House of Bourbon. Many motives—though all of them most unworthy motives—urge this party to rekindle the flame of war in Europe. First, the parlie pretre, which is said to be commensurate with the faction of the Duke of Bourdeaux, calculate, from the experience of the arrangement of 1815, that another and a more ex • tensive resuscitation of Popery would follow the termination of an European war. The politicians of this class expect that in the confusion into which a war must throw France, the nation would seek a refuge from anarchy iu a second restoration ; while the clergy, as a body, and individually, now degraded below their proper rank, eagerly p ant f or the return of the day when cardinals and bishops shall again direct the Government of the country as they did before, how little soarer to its profit or its honour, while a ha tred of heretical England, heretical Prussia, and half: heretical Austria. adds the force of ail it s bitterness to the suggestions of ambition. From this quarter I have issued the ravings of the Univers and of La- I unerineia : from this quarter, too, has proceeded the ir.- ti:nation that Louis Philippe will abdicate, so liberally charged by the Paris Journals upon the English press. If we are not mistaken, the hint appeared first in the Gazette de France. conducted by a Jesuit priest. (From the Courier.) It is, as we remarked a short time ago, a subject for congratulation, that Lord Ashley's unremitted exertions in behalf of the unfortunate children confined in the mines and manufactories, has forced an admission of the necessity for inquiry into their condition from the Go vernment, which until the 4th of last August, seemed determined to resist his demands, and thus to favour those masters and mill owners, who prefer their own pecuniary interests to the claims of humanity. We are not to infer with some persons that extremity of unavoidable distress compels the working classes to expose their offspring to the hardships which, it is proved beyond all question, are inflicted upon children. It must be borne in mind that many of the parents of both sexes have themselves been subjected to a like treat ment, and that particular vices are engendered by it at an early age, for the full gratification of which they do not find the produce of their own labour sufficient. These vitiated parents seldom enjoy the average duration of human life, and many of them have married before the age of puberty in classes not exposed to the same unnatural atmosphere. Mostly uninstructed, they are reckless of the fate of their children, notwithstanding that they must sometimes remember the sufferings which they endured in their earliest years. We do not deny that distress may have its share in causing the employment of children of tender age ; but, with the facts stated by Lord Ashley and M. Dupin before us, we believe that the occasion of this human sacrifice is to be found in the vices that are so largely acquired in the mines and manufactories. Even where immorality does not operate in this injuri ous manner, the debility produced in the prematurely married of the working classes, by too early employment rendering them unfit for too long continued exertion, may compel them to eke out a subsistence from the la bour of their children. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Henry Bramwell, a carman, James Towertlyke, a cabman, Fanny Roberts, and William Thornback, were brought up for examination, the forme charged with stealing a quantity of oats, the property of Mr. James Maggeride, a corn-dealer, in Tottenham-court-road, and the latter with receiving the same knowing it to have been stolen. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner Bramwell had been in his service seven years as carman, and that during the last few months he (witness) had missed a considerable quantity of corn from his stores, which in duced him to watch the conduct of his servants, and the result was, that suspicion fell upon the prisoner Bramwell. On Friday last, witness gave him a written order on Messrs. Hopkinson and Burroughs, of Paul's- wharf, Upper Thames-street, to receive twenty quarters of oats, consisting of forty sacks, and which he directed him, after receiving them at the wharf, to deliver to Mr. Grey, a livery-stable keeper, in Guildford-street, Rus sel-square. Witness afterwards met the prisoner Bran well in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, as he was returning with the oats from the wharf, and watched him from • there to Duke -street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, where the prisoner stopped the waggon, and be afterwards saw him take two sacks of oats from the waggon, and deposit them in a stable in Chapel-place. The prisoner brought two empty sacks back with him, and witness saw him secrete them under the tarpaulin of the waggon. The prisoner then drove the waggon in thedirection of Mr. Grey's, but witness got there before him, and having communicated his sus picion to Mr—Grey, requeited he would not allow the sacks to be emptied until his return. Witness then went to the station-house in George-street, Bloomsbury, where he procured the assistance of a policeman, who accompanied him to the stable in Chapel-place, where he found two sacks of oats, which he had no doubt (a!- though not in his sacks) were those he had seen left there by the prisoner Bramwell. He then retired to Mr. Gre3's, and found that Bramwell had been there and delivered but thirty-eight sacks of oats instead of forty: The value of the two sacks - of oats stolen was twenty-five shillings. Me. Johnson, a corn-dealer at Uxbridge stated thet he had lately been robbed of corn to a considerable ex tent, and had received private information that a consi derable quantity of-stolen corn was daily deposited at a stable in Chapel place, and knowing that the prosecutor had also been frequently robbed in a similar manner, he communicated the above information to him. After a very lengthened examination, Mr. Twyford remandtd Bramwell until Thursday next for further exemination, and consented to take hail for the other prisoners till that day. with a man named Williams, who urged him to ac company him, saying that he would put him in the way of getting some money, and he took him on the night before to the premises of Messrs. Winter and Rich, into which they forced their way, and robbed them of the property produced. He added that he was not concerned in the robbery at Mr. Benbow's, but that Williams, the man before alluded to, had given him the case of instruments, which he (prisoner) had pledged at a pawnbroker's shop. The prisoner was fully committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial. James Wilson and Thomas Payne, alias Reed, two of a gang concerned in plundering the houses of li censed victuallers, were charged with attempting to enter the room of the Yorkshire Stingo in Blackfriars road, and robbing it. It appeared that on the previous day the two prisoners, accompanied by two other men, called at the Yorkshire Stingo about one o'clock, and, having remained a short time, they then went away, after having paid for their refreshment. The same parties called again at seven o'clock :n the evening, and inquired if they could be accommodated with a private room, and they were ac cordingly shown up stairs to an apartment on the first floor. Soon afterwards the waiter, who stated the case to the Magistrate, in going up to the room where the strangers were, observed the prisoner Wilson leaning , over the banisters of the second floor, with a dark lan tern in his hand, and looking down apparently to see if there was anybody below. The other prisoner, Payne, stood outside the first floor room, and when he saw him (the witness) he desired him to go down, and fetch up some ale. The witness, however, gave the alarm on seeing the man with the dark lantern, upon which Wilson ran down, and endeavoured to get past him on the stairs,. but he seized hold of that person's coat, and tried to hold him, when Payne struck him on the side of the head, and desired him to let go the man. The other two men in the room rushed out, and escaped, but the prisoners were secured at the bottom of the stair case by some of the customers, who ran to the boy's assistance. It was discovered that the landlord's room was opened with a skeleton key, but the thief had not time to remove any of the property, owing to his hav ing been disturbed by ,some lodgers in an adjoining apartment. On examining the pockets of Payne, a cheque, of which the following is a copy, was found, suspected to have been stolen from a gentleman, a few days since, at a pugilistic contest which took place in the neighbourhood of Cambridge : " Saffron Walden and North Essex Bank. " Clavering, Oct. 24, 1840. " Messrs. Gibson and Co. Pay Mr. Perry 401. (Signed) " JOHN NEWPORT." In the course of the examination it was stated that the prisoners were well known men belonging to the " swell mob," and that they were suspected of being concerned in the numerous and extensive robberies com mitted upon the London publicans. The prisoners assumed to be strangers to each other, declaring that they never saw one another until the night in question. The MAGISTRATE committed the prisoners for three months to Brixton as reputed thieves. THE ARMY. (From the United Service Gazelle.) CAVALRY. 6th Dragoons.—A vacancy has occurred by the death of Lieut.-General Sir Joseph Stratton, C. 8., K.C.H., last Friday, in Park-street, Grosvenor-square. WRECK OF THE ROYAL GEORGE. Colonel Pasley's operations at Spithead terminated on Saturday the 24th instant, when the divers were em ployed for the last time, after having recovered a con siderable quantity of wreck in the course of the week, the neap tides and the mildness of the weather having favoured their exertions. Amongst the fragments got up were several stancheons of the orlop deck, a complete floor timber (the only piece that had not been broken by some of the numerous explosions), and a very sub stantial half timber of the same description ; also some carlins and parts of beams. The whole of the wreck got up within the last three weeks was piled in front of the lead-house in the Dock-yard. On Monday, the 26th, the Success frigate hulk, and the two moor ing lighters or lumps, Nos. 4 and 5, were towed into harbour by the Echo steamer, and the pensioner sea men were paid off the same day, whilst the Portsmouth riggers returned to their duty in the Dock yard. On Tuesday afternoon the stores supplied from Portsmouth Yard having been landed, and the re maindea _put on board the Lightning navy steamer, commanded by Lieut. Waugh, Colonel Pasley, with all the Royal Sappers and Miners, the divers and their assistants, and the Chatham riggers, who had been employed at Spithead, embarked in the same vessel, and were landed in Chatham Yard, next day, about two o'clock P.M. Thus his operations have closed for the present season, but not with so much success as the Colonel had anticipated, for he had sanguine hopes of clearing away the whole of the wreck before the begin ning of November. This has not been accomplished, for the shoal of mud, noticed in one of our former num bers, in which the remains of the wreck, and guns, to the value of nearly 4,0001., are still buried, has been ascertained to be about 150 feet from east to west (this having beea the direction of the ship's length), and from 120 to 195 feet in breadth froci north to south ; its extreme height above the general level of the an chorage is 9ft. 6in., but its average height is much less, and it slopes away gradually on all sides. These dimen sions are, according to the soundings taken by Serjeant- Major Jenkins Jones, of the Royal Sappers and Miners, and Mr. Clewitt, leadiug rigger in Portsmouth Yard, on the 23d inst., in Colonel Pasley's presence ; and they suffice to prove that at least one half of the mass of mud covering the wreck has been washed away since Lieut. Symonds and Mr. Clewitt sounded over it on the Bth of August last, when it measured 200 feet from east. to west, and, on one part, nearly 302 feet from north to south, its extreme height being 14 feet. Thus the half anchor creeper, substituted for the rake, by partially raising the timbers which it gets hold of; and enabiing the diver to sling, and the workmen to weigh them, disturbs the mud, and gives greater effect to the con tinual action of the tides, which washes it away. Last year when Colonel Pasley commenced his operations, several parts of the wreck stood 33 feet above the level of the anchorage, for the stem was perfect above the level of the lower deck, as well as the stern, and the whole starboard side was standing to nearly the same level, the larboard side having fallen over ; whilst the fragments of the upper decks, consisting of massy beams, &c. whose fastenings have been eaten away by the worms, lay in a confused mass over all. Colonel Pasley, on breaking up his establishment for the season, expressed his extreme satisfaction with all the men employed, whether divers and their assistants, riggers, sappers and miners, or seamen ; and he has expressed himself particularly pleased with the zeal and efficiency of the pensioners, nearly forty of whom have worked under him during the whole of this season, and has declared that he will be happy to receive any of them next year, if not better employed. Many officers are of opinion that men of war may anchor over the wreck of the Royal George in its present state with safety, because none but broken fragments of large timbers or light pieces have been found lately, which have not consist ency enough to carry away a ship's anchor, or break a chain cable ; but the natural action of the tides, by washing away the mud which now covers them, will lay the remaining floor timbers and guns bare, which will be an impediment hereafter, so that the anchorage can scarcely be considered in a safe or satisfactory state until the whole of the present shoal of mud, and all that remains buried under it, shall be reduced to the level of the bottom around it. When this shall have been accomplished, the tide will have no tendency to effect any further change, and if any fragments should still remain below that level, they may be disregarded if small, or broken to pieces by new explosions in the course of next summer, if large. The necessity of such very great explosions as have repeatedly taken place hitherto, is not, however, anticipated fan the future.— Hampshire Telegraph. INFANTRY. 6th.—We are very glad to find that attention has at leegth been turned to Adon, and that the harassed gar rison of that pkee will soon receive a reinforcement which has become indispensAble.

(30th—The Ist battalion is expected to remain at Windsor for tome months longer. In consequence of certain " discoveries," the following announcement has just been made public :—" The officers of the Ist bat talion of the King's Royal Rifles give notice that they will not be rt sponsible for any debt contracted in their name by any person whatever—soldiers, messmen, ser vante, or others." 66th—The draft which arrived out front Cork this aut:.tn❑ to Quebec is now returning with the regiment. 76th—A draft of one Captain (Pickard), two Lieu tenants (Beresford and Evans), one Ensign (Brereton), one armourcr sergeant, three sergeants, and 150 rank and file, with ten supernumeraries -of the depot, arc to embark at London'clerry . for Cork, for further embarka tion on board the Victory, to join • the service corn panics in 11,:rinucla. This depot is one of the strongest in Ireland, its strength being 14 officers, 15 sergeants, and 360 rank and file. 86th—Several men of this regiment are in hospital in Dublin from drinking the bad water of Richmond bar racks, which is impregnated with salt and sulphurated hydrogen gas. 93th—The Regiment stationed at Newcastle•upon- Tyne will arrive in Dublin from Liverpool on the em barkation of the 42d and 88th at Cork for the Mediter ranean. Royal Malta Fencible Regiment.—There is an im pression that, should war arise out of the present state of affairs in the East, this very efficient and highly respectable corps will be placed on the footing of the line and numbered with the regular army. This mea sure would, we believe, be very popular, and a just com pliment to the loyal and orderly inhabitants of Malta ; who possess many essential requisites of good soldiers, and whose sobriety is proverbial. Ensign Sesino, two non-commissioned officers, and fifty privates of this corps, are receiving daily instructions for artillery prac tice under a British officer and artilleryman.—lliediter raneo, Oct. 14. Royal Marines—Lieutenant-Colonel ITU:llium, Cap tains Baker, Edwards, and Mitchell, of the Plymouth division, proceeded to Portsmouth, on the 26th instant, to join the Britannia, for a passage to the coast of Syria, to reinforce the officers employed in the battalions. First-Lieutenant Stevens, with a detachment, embarked in the Impregnable on Thursday to complete her com plement for foreign service. The following officers of the Portsmouth division have been ordered to embark, also to join the large force in Syria :—Lieutenant-Colo nel Gordon,. Captains Miller, Lawe, Parker, Waters, M‘Kinnon ; the different divisions have been so tho roughly drained of men, that the Plymouth division could not furnish more than half. a detachment for the Caledonia, and men from Chatham and Woolwich are obliged to be drafted for that ship. Royal Marine Artillery—By a recent order from the Admiralty the bombadiers have had the same rank conferred on them as those of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. The following very honourable testimonial has been received, and promulgated in the Portsmouth divisional order book : " Royal Marine Office, Oct. 27, 1840. " Sir,—The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have been pleased to acquaint the Deputy Adjutant-Ge neral that they have received from Captain Hornby, the senior officer at Woolwich, a report of the good conduct of the detachment of Royal Marine Artillery embarked OTI board the Rbadamanthus, no complaint having been made against any individual during the three years they have been on board ; and Captain Hornby has been directed to convey to Colour-Sergeant John Sacdwell and his detachment their Lordships' satisfaction of their excellent conduct. Their Lord ships have been further pleased to direct that the same shall be communicated in your divisional order book.- 1 have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " J. WILSON, Assist. Adjt.-Gen." DEATH OF MAJOR JENKINS.-Major Jenkins of the Ilih Hussars, was taken dangerously ill at the Brighton Barracks on Wednesday. On Thursday after neon he was seized with a fit of an apoplectic nature, and on Friday' morning, at six o'clock, it was succeeded by another, which left the patient in such a dangerous state that no hopes were entertained in the afternoon of his re covery. He was visited by the Earl of Cardigan at 12 o'clock on Thursday night, and again at six on Friday morn ing. The health of Major Jenkins has been delicate for some time past, and it is supposed that the late occurrences in the regiment have had a prejudicial effect on his mind. His illness was accompanied by violent delirium. In con• sequence of tbis melancholy event, the Earl of Cardig an and the officers of the regiment did not patronise the per_ formance at the theatre on Friday. In the course of the night the Major expired. We understand he has left se veral chil.ireo, and that it had been his intention for some time to sell out for their benefit. IMPROVEMENT IN ST. JAMES'S PALACE.— Workmen aro :at present employed in effecting a very greet improvement to the entrance of the court-yard of St. James's Palace. The public generally will no doubt remember the awkward building which has existed many years and projected from the wall of the residence of the King of Hanover into Cleveland-row, much disfivuring the Royal residence: The house was generally known as the " Settling "-house for the military on duty in the Palace, but is now being r;:z , .d to the ground, which, when done, will afford a much better entrance to t'ix Park, through the Peace-yard. Another greet improvement has re cently been made by ereeting a new frontage to the house of the Dowager Marchioness of Westmeath, which over looks the Colour-yard ; the whole of that side of the qua dratige has been re-erected, and is now in keeping with the other rArt of the huiNinif.

SQUARE. . - LAYING A WAGER.-IVilliant Emmerson, a respect able builder, was placed at the bar, charged with having stolen five shillings. William Parry, a middle-aged man, said that he and prisoner met by accident at the. George the Fourth at Knightsbridge, and on his (complainant's) putting down five shillings, the other took it up, called for ' nine six-pennyworths of gin-and-water, a pint of ale, and a cigar, which be paid for with his (complainant's) crown. Mr. BURRELL—But what excuse did he assign for this? Complainant—Oh, he said he'd learn me to !ay wagers ; and asked me how I dared think while he was present to think for me. Mr. BURRELL—What have you to say to this ? Prisoner—He ought to be ashamed of himself to charge a respectable man with felony. He said that if a ver dict was given in a Court of Law for 12,0004, a man must v;ait six weeks or two months befare he could take a writ or execution against the party for it ; I said he was wrong, and that they might go about get ting it in twenty-four hours if they liked, and we put down a crown a piece to back our opinions, and the company were to decide it ; so they did, and in my favour, so I took up the money, and that's what he calls stealing it. Mr. BURRELL (to prosecutor)--Did you bet ? Pro secutor—Yes ; but l bet— Mr. BURRELL--I cannot go into such particulars ; but what in the name of goodness did he do with the gin-and-water ? Prisoner—Oh! the nine glass'es of gin-and-water were for the company, one a-piece, and the pint of ale and cigar for myself. Mr. Burrell recommended the prosecutor not to lay any more wagers, and at once diicharged the risoner. UNION-HALL. Thomas Smith was charged with robbing Mr. E,,st, the architect in Corporation-row, Clerkenwell, of money to 'a great amount. The facts or the case are shortly these :—A few months back the prosecutor was thrown from his horse, and the injuries he received caused his life to be despaired of for some time. The prisoner was his confidential clerk, but he took advantage of his master's illness, and so grossly misconducted himself that Mr. East discharged him on his recovery. Since then he has bean going round to the tenants of Mr. East, from whom he has received rent as the agent of the prosecutor. This coming to the knowledge of the prosecutor, he consulted with Inspector Penny, of the G division, who, after great exertion, traced the pri soner, and apprehended him in bed in the middle of the night. He was remanded, as it is impossible for Mr. East for the present to ascertain the extent of his loss. HATTON-GARDEN. 'Jolla Mason was brought before Mr. Maltby, charged with breaking into the premises of two iron-merchants and brass-founders in the vicinity of Bankside, South wark, and stealing a variety of property. • On the preceding night a private watchman on duty at Bankside, on passing the premises of Messrs. Winter and Rich, t h e eng i neers, h ear d a no i se w i t hi n resem bling hammering. Having listened for some time, he suspected that thieves were breaking open the desks, and .he accordingly made an alarm, and the policemen hav ingcome 1 1P, they got into the yard arid discovered the prponer concealed in a truck. On examining the pre mises, they discovered that the counting-house door had been broken ope n , and the desks forced, from which several articles were , taken, and amongst them a pecu liarly constructed lance. An attempt had been likewise made t o b read open an iron chest, and no doubt it would have been accomplished had not the discovery taken place at the time it did. When the prisoner was sub secluelltly search e d t h e lance allu d e d to was found is hi s possession, and other property obtained from the count ing-house, tog-ether with a box of phosphorus matcher, skeleton keys, &c. . &c., forced open, and completely Mr. Benbow, an engineer, residing in the Bear-gar dens, Bankside, stated that on Sunday night last his counting-house was broken into, and the desks, cup boards,vvh:ch he usually wore himself ransacked of their contents. In the list of articles stolen were a . brass mortar, a case of mathematical instruments, an ivory tablet, a bunch of keys and a pair of gloves, bur . glary was committed Mr.. Benbow received the fol. .extraordinary .etter which, he had no doubt, was written by the person ' who committed the robbery. It ran thus : A few days after thei " Sir, I am very much o bli, e d to you for the lit t l e breaking assistance, w hi c h the breaking eP" Herbert, on 'P ower- hi ll, }'our counting house afford e d t i e on Sunday night l as t.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING. There has been nothing done since Tuesday evening to require comment. No doubt the return of several in fluential partics from the south will nest week give a fresh impetus to business. The offers of 12 to 1 on the Derby field have no takers ; tear do we think it likely any parties will be drawn in at that price. It is the most open Derby field the writer ever remembers. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. (CONCLUDED.) (7URTHER PARTICULARS OF FRIDAY'S RACES.) Handicap—Fitzroy was permitted to lead for the first mile, when Miss Heathcote went in front, defeated an at tempt make by Caution near the chair, and won a pretty race by half a length. Flambeau was well up, and Fitz roy fourth. First Match—Silistria made strong play, Nicholas being kept in reserve till the last moment, when he went up with a rush, but was beaten on the post by a head. Second Match—Langolee made all the play, and won very cleverly by half a length. Nursery—Beyrout, Jessica, and Simoom, the former with the lead, in close order to the T.Y.C. post, where Benedetta gave up, Beyrout, the Reveller filly, E. 0., and Annot Lyle filly following her example at the cords ; Jessica and Simoom continued in front, and ran head and head with Y. Quo Minus for fifty gyards, when the latter gave place to Traffic, who, coming up with a tremendous rush, made a dead heat with Jessica, and allowed Simoom to win by a head only. Quo Minus was a good fourth. Audley End.—l-am-not-aware made play, followed by Janus and Bosphorus to the Duke's Stand, where Janus made an unsuccessful effort to get in front ; Rosciva waited on them to the cords, where he went up, and won in a canter by three lengths ; only a neck separated the second and third, and half a length the third and last. DERBY-BETTING AFTER TIIE RACES. 7 to 2 agst Scott's lot. . 13 to 2 agst Eringo and Rosalie colt—taken. 16 to 1 agst Mr. Thornhill's Eringo—taken. 16 to 1 agst Lord Bruce's Rosalie colt—taken. 18 to I agst Mr. Rawlinson's Coronation—taken. 25 to 1 agst Mr. W.

The weather was fine, and the company quite as large as the quantity and importance of the sport warranted us in expecting. Many left immediately after the Audlcy End Stakes, but an announcement that some matches would be "knocked up" for Saturday, induced the majo rity to remain—it will be Peen below that they were grati fied with a moderate quantum of racing. The Ball on Thursday night, for the benefit of the Pro vident Club, went off remarkably well, and was attended by nearly all the nobility and gentry visiting the Houghton meeting as well as most of the country families and resident gentry ; there were upwards of 130 persons present, and the dancing continued with great spirit. The company did not separate until near four o'clock this morning. The Duke of Rutland and the Duchess of Beaufort opened the ball in a contre dance. The Cambridge band attended, and the whole went off with much eclat. EVENING EDITION., TRIAL OF HENTY. The Court-martial at Sheerness was brought to a termination on Saturday. Evidence to character of a very superior kind was given in favour of Henty, whose defence in writing was then submitted to the Court, and read by the Judge-Advocate. The verdict was to the following effect : " The Court is of opinion that the first chargTe-- na mely, that of a breach of duty, is not proved. hat the second charge, that of disobedience of orders, is not proved ; and that the third charge — na mel y , that of having on the said 2d day of October made a false re port to his superior officer, Captain Sir J. Hill, of the extent of a fire v.hich in the afternoon of that day bad taken place on board the said ship Cifniperdown, and of the circumstances, is fully proved against the prisoner. But from the circumstances of his extraordinary good character for skill, zeal, carefulness, humanity, and eneral good character as a carpenter of her Majestys navy, the Court doth adjudge the said John Henty the be only severely reprimanded and admonis hed ; and said John Henty is hereby severely reprimanded and admonished accordingly." The verdict seemed to cause considerable sa tisfaction amongst the spectators ; and the prisoner , on leaving the state room, was warmly congratulated by all his brother officers and many respectable inhabitants of the town.

We have never seen so ninny mercantile couriers arrive hero from Paris with the fluctua tions of the French funds. Enormous sums have chimged hands. In order to prevent deception, three of the first houses here, viz., those of Messrs. de Rothschild, Gu n:tiller, and Sina, have had couriers from Paris at their joint expense, and posted up before the opening of 'Chang e t h e hist quotations from Paris, but without stating the caus-:s • f the rise or fall."
