FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 13.—Yesterday his Majesty transacted business with the Minister of War, and gave several audiences. Her Majesty expected to set out for Beverloo on the 20th or 22d. The King and the Royal Family manifest much interest in the agri cultural exhibition, and much success is expected to result from this assemblage of the various products of the kingdom. The farmers in several places have hesitated to send their produces some because they cannot send them until very late, and others because poverty of the soil where their produce was culti vated places them in a disadvantageous light with others who had not this difficulty to contend with. The Minister of the Interior is about to issue a cir cular stating that these points will be taken into con sideration, and that a special recompense will be awarded to those who send good produce from un fruitful soils. The various productions and instruments are being placed with much ingenuity in the Palace of la Rue Ducale, and the preparations continue with much order and activity. TRIESTE, SEPT. s.—His Majesty the King of Prussia arrived here from Is chi, and this evening will prosecute his journey to Venice, in a steam-boat belonging tt. the Austrian Lloyds. VENICE, SEPT. 6.—This morning, at ten o'clock, his Majesty the King of Prussia arrived here in the Imperator. The mall war-steamer Messagere was sent to meet his Majesty on his entrance into the mouth of the harbour. The eagerness of the Captain of the large steamer, who wished to measure his speed with that of the swift Messagere occasioned the unpleasant circumstance, that that steamer was run upon the sands, in one of the immense windings of the canal, and the tide was just going out, the steamer remained immovable, and it was impossible to set it afloat again until the evening. His Majesty ob served the strictest incognito, and went to the hotel Daniele, and intends remaining here for three days. Immediately after his arrival the Archduke Frederick, the Admiral, and the sons of the Vice-king, who are here at present, waited on him at the hotel. His Im perial Highness the Archduke Raiwe left Venice on the 31st of August, in order to trarel in the Lom bardo-Venetian kingdom, accompanied by the Min ister of the State Count Fiquelmont. BERLIN, SEPT. 4.—Ludvig Von Mieroslowski, the accused Pole, is said to be employed in the prison of this city in the completion of a work called, "La Revolution et la Contre Revolution," the publication of which, perhaps, will soon be permitted. Except Dr. Liebelt Mieroslowski, he is undoubtedly the most intellectual, distinguished, and gifted among the Poles, who are here under arrest, and his explanation of the late revolutionary movement among the Pules, in its more connected form, have the more interest because the majority of his fellow-accused country men have lost sight of the national point of view, and have degraded themselves by miserable reasons to screen their persons. ANTWERP, SEPT. 6.—M. Rogier, the Minister of the Interior, and M. Veydt, the Minister of Finance, have just been re-elected, the former by 640 votes, the latter by 648. The number of voters present amounted to 638. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 13.—Two persons have been arrested on suspicion of being the authors or the accomplices of the murder at St. Gery. Some indi viduals, however, state that they were with the pri soners on the night of the murder. If this case be proved, they will of course be set at liberty, and the authorities must direct its investigations to other quarters. On Saturday, at four o'clock, the police of Ixelles arrested a person who has been before in cus tody. A doinicilary visit was paid to the place where he lived, and all his effects were seized, a passport, dated 2d Sept., for going to Holland, and a sum of 70 francs, which he had in his possession. MURDER OF A RAILROAD GUARD.—FRANYFORT, SEPT. 6.—During the night of Friday one of the guards of the third section of the railroad from Berlin perceived that on one point of this section several rails had been raised, and that not far from the spot logs of wood and small heaps of stones were laid across the lines. A train arrived at that moment from Frankfort, on the Oder, the guard made a signal to stop it, which was immediately done by the con ductor of the engine, and thus the train happily escaped the danger with which it was threatened. Towards morning the guard was found murdered alongside the railway, his heart was stabbed in various places with a knife. The author of this atrocious crime has not been discovered.—Bruseels paper, Sept. 15. DUTCH FUNDS.—AHSTEaDAM, SEPT. 13. Money.

It is said that she does not mean to make an appeal against the sentence of imprisonment, for as she has once before been fined for calumny she can now be acquitted only by the annulling of her sentence by the King himself. The right of appeal to the King in eases of private wrongs, has been in force in our law for the last 10 years. CONTINENTAL COMMUNICATION.

Many of them were for length o f service, and others dis abled and wounded in the late war in India. The pen. sions will vary from I s. to 3s. per day. A horrible parricide was committed last week at Anneau (Euro et Loire). A man named Leroy, 7‘) years of age, had given up to his son the whole of his property, reserving to himself a certain annuity, an d a lodging in the house with his son and daughter-in law. As a stipulated allowance bad fallen into arrear until a sum of 1,200 f. was due to the old man, he was obliged to summon his son before the juge de pair, who esta blished the demand, and made an order for its payment rise to of 100 f. a mon th. This proceeding gave te constant quarr e l s b e t ween th e f a ther and son, and even to bl ows. As the father was not seen for two days. the neighbours suspected foul play , and called in the magist rates, who, on entering, found the body of the poor old man mutilated in the m os t s h oc ki ng man lirs7,4ner, tho skull beingfr h a i c s ti.7ed so th a t t h e b rain pro .

THE POTATO CROP IN hGUERNSEY,—Potatoes are now being generally dug throughout large quantities are being shippj Londonfoourtthe island, and else where at 2s. and 2s. 3d. per bushel. and ue consequence of :the premature ripeness of this root, the blight which fell on it about two months since, whereby its growth was checked, the produce is very ably under an ordinary average. In many cases it i - ksm said not to amount to half a common crop,— Guernsey Stan --- HOW TO KEEP A BOARDING HOUSE AT BOULOGNE. Take a house on the port, and write up "English Boarding-house" in large letters, to strike the eye of every Englishman arriving by the steam-packets. Put on a smiling face for the reception of strangers, and in reply to questions about terms, mention forty five francs per week, or something exceedingly mode rate. This will not at all diminish your profits, for when the time for payment comes, you have only to say that you meant shillings, and could not have said francs, -which at once places more than fifteen per cent. on your charges. You must remember, also, that extras are not to be lost sight of. People who come to boarding-houses have their beds included in the weekly sum, of course ; but the beds are to be made, and who is to pay for making them ? This must form a separate item in their account, as well as kitchen-fire and attendance; for, though the meals are no doubt included, how are they to be cooked and brought to table, unless you are remunerated for making your servants do so? Remember, also, that as francs swell into shillings when the day of pay ment comes, so centimes magnify themselves into i sous when you have to be reimbursed for any outlay vou have been put to on account of your boarders. Thus, a rushlight that has cost you five centimes, or a sous, will amount to five sous by the time your bill is to be made out ; and a bottle (X wine, which cost one franc when you sent out for it, will have risen to five francs when the consumer in your house has to pay for it. As to servants, they cannot do better than follow their mistress's example : you must make them dun the inmates until something is extracted in addition to what you have already received in their name, as there will probably be some difficulty in - getting boarders to pay twice over for attendance which they have Dever, perhaps, received at all ; for they must, of course, help themselves, if your limited number of domestics should be otherwise occupied. Your only real expense will be a gratuitous boarder to sit at table every day, and puff each meal, declaring there are so many good things he hardly knows what to choose, and confidentially telling every new corner—but this must not be attempted after the first day—that yours is the best and most liberally con ducted boarding-house in all Boulogne. By follow ing these instructions you will re4p a tolerable har vest, while it lasts ; but as it cannot last long, you must reap away with the most prodigious activity.— Punch. TRP, SUN, EMIGRATION MOVEMENT. However various may be the opinion of statesmen and politicians on the question of emigration, the people have long decided in its favour. Want is a hard task-master, and the hope of earning where with to live in the land of the stranger is preferred to the certainty of starvation in their own. Whilst Government is debating the question, the masses are acting for themselves. Thousands are hastening from the land of their birth to the western world, hoping to earn there the subsistence they cannot pro , cure at home. Want induces supply; thus the tide of emigration has called into existence a company styled the Western Virginian Land Company. The company is under the direction of gentlemen of respectability and standing, which is a guarantee for the hone-Ay of the undertaking. The land they offer is stated as corn bining the important advantages of healthiness of climate, easiness of approach, with a rich soil, fertile in all the peculiar productions of the western States. Equally important and desirable is the protection the company propose affording emigrants to their lands, undertaking to forward them through recognised and appointed agents direct to their intended location, at the same time furnishing them with every informa tion for their guidance. If properly carried out, this will secure an amount of protection Government schemes never afforded, and which individual enter prise can alone accomplish. The plan also which they have adopted of alloting single shares, allowing the amount paid on such shares to he taken out in land at any time at the first sale price, with a liberal discount, the shareholder still retaining his interest in the profits of the com pany, will enable the industrious and saving of all classes desirous of emigrating, to provide for that event by a very trifling periodical outlay. This com pany would, in fact, appear in this respect to have introduced into the system of emigration a novel fea ture, combining the advantages of the building and land sale companies now so generally known and ap preciated amongst the labouring classes, with the security and benefits afforded by the mutual assurance companies. As an undertaking designed to afford protection to at present a most unprotected class, it would appear every way worthy the support of the emigrant and the philanthropist, whilst, if only half the prospective advantages detailed are realised, to the capitalist it offers a safe and most eligible investment.—Liverpool Mail.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 14.--Sir Harry Smith, ac companied by Lady Smith, arrived last evening by the South-Western Railway, at six o'clock, and came over to Portsmouth, and took up his quarters at the George hotel. In the absence of Lord F. Fitz clarenee, who is suffering from severe illness, the Gallant General was received by the senior officer of the garrison, Colonel Lewis, R E., accompanied by a numerous escort of mounted officers. On approach ing the George, in front of which the united bands of the 42c1, 3:2d regiments, and Royal Marines, were drawn up in line, " See the conquering hero" was played at the same time that the numerous assem blage heartily cheered the hero of Aliwal. Lady Smith also received similar honours, which were gracefully acknowledged, and after a cheer for the Queen all was quiet. This morning Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Smith, Bart., reviewed the garrison of Portsmouth, comprising the 43d, s:li, and 3d regiments, on South sea Common. The troops, commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel Nesbit (in the absence of Lord Fitzclarence), marched past the Gallant C;-eneral in slow and quick time, and performed several manccuvres in a highly creditable manner. The General addressed the brigade on the con clusion in the following words :—" Soldiers and corn rades,—Right glad am I once more to find myself associated with you, the immortal light brigade, and to witness the order and discipline to which you have been trained by your officers. I have seen those colours in the field of battle, and I have seen them crowned with victory. Right glad am I also to find that the same spirit animates you now that animated the gallant light brigade in the day of battle, that spirit of bravery which crowned your ancestors with immortal glory ; that same spirit animates you now, and should you, like them, be called on to fight for your country, you will, doubtless, like them, be crowned with victory ; it will be only to give the word, and you will be able to follow your leader, whoeve: should have the honour to command. A few years hack I was a subaltern like yourselves, and was drilled by your sergeants ; but I have been fortunate, and, I hope with all my heart that you also may be equally fortunate. The moral character you all bear in this garrison is an honour to you, and, I must say, the higher the moral character appears, the more brave the men in the field. Bear in mind these sentiments, and be go verned by them—Comrades, farewell !" The above address appeared to make a deep impres sion on all p resent, espec i a ll y t h e so ldi ers. 'Th ere was a l sira argla r ssembla ge to witness the review. The gallant de 13 1 a l ! e t u N r , r e e . Y was heartily cheered on hi s arr i va l an d rnon, Indianian, arrived this day to convey the new governor and family, and suite, to his com mand at the Cape. This evening the officers of the garrison entertain Sir Harry with a splendid dinner at the George Hotel, where covers for eighty are prepared. The enthusi astic reception of the Gallant General last evening and this day on tha Common was a well-merited rebuke to the spirit that prevailed yesterday at a meeting of the Town Council, when a propositio n to present an address on the occasion was negatived coming negativ of the edby , a majority of the members present. The G to e h n i e s r al arrival, was and militaryshort u e t p h r o e r v i t i e u s s , only then ma de only to known the a or thousands in place of hundreds would have assem bled to honour him.

The winners for 1846 47 will not be allowed to compete, and satis factory proof, upon oath if necessary, will be required of the number o f fish caug h t. The attention of the fisher men is particularly directed to the bleeding of the fish upon being taken off the hook, and to the delivery of the whole in the best possible condition. —Joh n o' Groat Journal. DUCAL FEES.—At a late meeting of the Perth Town Council, Bailie Barlas stated that heavy fees were exacted by the Duke:of Atholl from every one who visited the Dunkeld grounds, and that the whole of these f ees went into the Duke's pocket. He (Bailie Barlas) was certain there was not another Duke in Scotland did the like. " These fees," adds the Edinburgh Advertiser, "are as follow:—One person, 2s. 6.1.; two persons, 35. ; and Is. a head for any greater number. A gentleman told us on Monday that he had lately paid for the privilege accorded to the party with which he was con nected." DOCKS. , Dividend Amount Name of Company. ' per of Paid. Price. 1 Annum.

We have received the following from a Corre spondent:-- " I regret to inform you of a serious accident that has happened to the express train leaving Manchester for Leeds at one o'clock this day (Thursday), whon between Hebden-bridge and North Dean stations. It appeared to pass over something on the line, which caused the carriages to jump; and the last, a first class carriage, had one of the hind wheels broken, and they travelled in this state for several miles, with out the passengers being able to give the least infor• mation to the guard. There were, fortunately, only four passengers in the carriage, two of whom, I re gret to say, are killed ; a third has his arm broken, and, being otherwise very much hurt, was left be hind ; and the fourth, who gave me this information, expected every momept to be his last, for his hat was completely broken to pieces on his head, and his life was only saved by clinging to the seat of the carriage till it stopped. Surely it is high time that the pas sengers were in possession of some means to commu nicate with the gnard when accidents of this kind occur." SOUTH-EASTERN AND CONTI NENTAL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held to-day, at one o'clock, at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, for the transaction of the usual business ; James Macgregor, Esq., in the chair; but a small number of shareholders were present, owing, no doubt, to the unfavourable state of the weather. The seal of the company having been affixed to the share register, and the advertisement having been read, The CHAIRMAN read the report, which stated— " The directors submit to the proprietors the state ment of accounts of the South-Eastern and Conti nental Steam-packet Company for the half-year ending 31st of July, 1847, which shows a balance at the disposal of the proprietors of 4.732/. 3s. 3d. skhe alp,l7Tiuhhtpeh during income-tax ring directorsrecommend last, ibentienrgpta a dividend of' Bs. per a a id eo b n y si t d h e e rable company.

" The passage as now performed between Folke stone and Boulogne, was three each way daily, and there is no doubt when the Boulogne and Amiens line of railway is completed that there will be a great increase in the number of passengers.

Mr. SMALE, a director, seconded the proposition for the reception of the report, and in doing so stated, that every additiohal mile of the Boulogne and Amiens railway that was opened brought them an accession ( . ) . f traffic, and when the whole of the line was opene d they might look forward to a great increase in the railwayamount wofas 40 div milesidend. in length Theßo ; Boulogne and of whichAbbeville would be op ene d b y t h e m i ddle of next mont h. leaving littl e more t h an s i X miles to be completed, and when it was completed there was no doubt that the whole, in its progress between the capitals of the two countries, would pass over it, using the eight noble vessels possessed by the company, for their pas sage from coast to coast. The boats he might appro priately term a bridge between the two empires ; they must pass by their boats, which in construction and speed were fit to compete with any navy, and they must pay the company toll, yielding, therefore, a handsome revenue. Many of his prophecies, with respect to the South Eastern had been fulfilled, and he had no doubt that his prophecies with respect to the company would also be fulfilled.—(Cheers ) The motion was then agreed to. Robert Castle, Esq., and John Bragden, Esq., were elected directors ; the former in the place of Mr. Mills, and the latter of Mr. Rich, M.P., who had resigned. The motion was unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN confidently trusted that Mr. Smale's predictions would be realised, and that they would receive an increased dividend. In fact, he had no doubt about it. Three cheers having, on the motion of Mr. Judd, been awarded to the Chairman and directors, the meeting separated. BANK OF ENGLAND.

(From the North British Mail.) LOCH LAGGAN, TUESDAY NIGHT. _ . Yesterday morning, Prince Albert went out to the cover-shooting in the woods adjacent to the Lodge, attended by a great number of beaters. The sport was excellent—the best, I believe, the Prince has enjoyed since his arrival at Ardverikie. His Royal Highness killed three roe-bucks and twelve brace of birds, and returned to the Lodge at two o'clock to lunch. . In the afternoon, the Queen, Prince Albert, and the royal children, drove out to Cluny Castle on a visit to Ciuny Macpherson. The Royal Family rode in a phaeton, drawn by four beautiful grey Arabian ponies, and were accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, and General Wemyss, and at tended by two out-riders. The weather had become much milder about mid day, and the afternoon, though rather cold, was calm and clear. Cluny Castle is distant about 12 miles from the Lodge. The road passes through the centre of the parish, and besides giving a good view of the scenery of the district, is invested with numerous objects of natural and historical interest. After leav ing the head of the loch it winds for two miles along the edge of the Paatock, sometimes enclosed in natural groves of birch, sometimes emerg ing into rich grassy holmes, and at others mounting over precipices, with the smooth stream purling at their base, or leaping down a flight of rocky steps in successive falls—all combining to form one of those scenes of quiet rural beauty which in Scotland so frequently steal upon the traveller when least expected. The Paatock is a good trouting stream. It rises in the depths of Ben Aulder forest, and, after flowing six miles northward, changes its course by a rapid bend, and runs westward into Loch Laggan, whence it is carried by the Spean and the Lochy to the Western Ocean. It is a curious fact, and one which illustrates the elevated position of the parish of Laggan, that another stream, which rises within a mile and a half of the source of the Paatock, pursues quite an opposite course—passing through Loch Ericht, Loch Rannoch, and the Tay, to the Eastern Ocean. And, in like manner, proceeding along the road to Cluny Castle, you find, a little way beyond the spot Wh e r e the Paatock begins to run towards Loch Laggan, that the streams pass eastward through the Vale of Spey to the i Moray Firth. It seem s th a t th e main land rises to its greatest elevation among th e w ild s o f Laggan, and that the rain which f a ll s f rom th e c l ou d s upon these dizzy heights descends in all dire c ti o ns upon the lower countries with which they are sur rounded on every side. Issuing from the glen through which the Paatock runs, the road passes through Strathmashie, and then stretches along the more open country which is watered by the Spey. Strathmashie was formerly divided into small farms, but is now occupied by a gentleman of the Macphersons, who devotes it partly to arable and partly to pastoral purposes, but chiefly the la tte r. It is separated from Glensherra by a series of grey rocky mounts ; and on the almost inaccessible s umm it o f one o f these the remains of an ancient fortification are still edge of the sum m it, enc l os i ng an area to be seen. A wall three yards in thickness, and runs built round with large the flags or broad s t ones, w i t h out mortar, which is said to measure 500 feet in length, and 250 feet in breadth. It was probably employed as a place i of protection for the cattle, and p ro b a bl y a l so th e : and, women and children , in times of foreign invasion oorver thedumesticexwteanive fs it look s directly plainsdown of the Spey, a fire r lighted on it must have been a most effectual signal of alarm t o the inhabitants of that rich and comparatively populous territory. Behind this range of rocks, in the mouth of Glensherra, stands the Roman Catholic chapei— a ver y pl a in but neat erection, to which apartme n t s are a tt ac h e d f or th e residence of the priest. It is impossible to conceive a more chaste yet wild and gloomy solitude than that which has been chosen as the site of this place of worship. The Spey issues from Glensherra in the form of a tiny stream, and passes down as far as the eye can stretch over a level country, studded with clumps of trees, and varie gated with the multifarious tints of harvest. Country mansions, farm-houses, huts and bothies, rear their many-coloured walls in populous profusion. One perceives at a glance that the great majority of the 1,200 inhabitants of Laggan are domiciled in this plain. Corryarrick and the Monadlia mountains bound the valley on the north, while the dark blue hills of the Grampians enclose it on the south. Here it was where Sir John Cope made his well-known and much-ridiculed movement, by which he suddenly diverged to Inverness, and left the south country open to the march of the Pretender, who lay en camped with his forces on the north side of Cor ryarrick. The cowardice of his troops, and the disadvantageous character of the ground, render the course pursued by Cope the wisest that could have been devised. The army, which was afterwards so easily routed at Prestonpans, would have cut a very sorry figure, and fared a great d eal worse, in this secluded valley of the Spey, where they . would have found no i means of refuge or escape. It is impossible to have the mind thus cast back on t he storm y period of the Rebellion, without reflecting on the altered circum stances of the present times. A hundred years have only elapsed, and the representative of the house of Brunswick passes through these scenes of former strife unattended by armed men or any other guard, save the love which burns for her in Highland hearts, on a friendly visit to the descendants of a chief who was the bosom -friend of the Pretender, and the sworn enemy of her line ! The road crosses the Spey by a handsome wooden bridge, at the end of which, on the north side of the river, stands the parish church—a plain building sur rounded with burying-ground, and enclosed with a row of fine trees. It was built a few years ago on the same site as its two predecessors, both of which must have been very short-lived, as an octogenarian residing in the neighbourhood informed us that he had witnessed the erection of them both. Masonry must be very defective in a country where the human body is so greatly more dura ble than temples of stone and lime. Previous to the occupation of the present site, public worship was conducted in an old barn situated a considerable way farther up the river ; and it was in this rude building that Divine service was first celebrated in the parish according to the Presbyterian foim. The old parish remained in the hands of the Roman Catholics and the Episcopalians to a very late period. The oldest Presbyterian minister of whom I could get any account was a Mr. Macintyre ; and a story is told of him which is creditable alike to his diligence and his wit. The manse and the place of worship were situated 1 on opposite sides of the river; and as there was no bridge in these days, the minister was obliged to ford the Spey before he could reach the old barn. On one occasion a heavy flood had rendered the ford impas sable, but the people had assembled, and waited anxiously to sae what the minister would do. On reaching the bank of the river, the good man speedily resolved all difficulties by calling cut, loud enough for all to hear him, " I canna-gang owre to you mysel', but I'se try to sen' the preachin' owre." The people accordingly gathered on one side of the river, and the minister taking up his position on the other, proceeded to deliver to them his weekly message over the bosom of the swollen stream. A neat monument in the churchyard points out the grave of the Rev. James Grant, the husband of the late Mrs. Grant, favourably known to the public by her " Letters from the Mountains," and other literary works on the scenery and manners of the Highlands. Inscriptions on marble detail the leading circumstances in the lives of this amiable couple. Mr. Grant died in December, 1801 ; arid his widow, after a long and heroic struggle in behalf of her family, died at Edinburgh in 1838. About two miles below the church you reach Cluny Castle—a massive and substantial residence, built of the granite of the neighbouring hills. Cluny and his lady had only received notice of her Majesty's intention to honovr them with a visit abovt an hour before the arrival of the royal cortege. Little time was allowed therefore for any formal preparatiods, but by the time her Majesty had reached the gateway, 30 men in Highland garb, with a a piper at their head, were drawn up in front of the Castle. Cluny himself in his usual costume of kilt and philabeg, and Mrs. Macpherson, were also in waiting for the arrival of their Royal visitors. The Duke of Norfolk handed the Queen from the - phaeton, and her Majesty, the Prince, and the rest of the royal party were ushered into the castle. About a quarter of an hour was spent in inspecting the various antiquities which have remained in the custody of the Macphersons since the Rebellions, after which the royal party went out into the grounds, and visited the garden and other places of interest in the vicinity. Cluny Castle is sur rounded with thriving and well kept plantations. The garden and orchard are of considerable size, and the latter is loaded, with fruit. The avenues, porter lodges, office-houses, enclosures, and shrubbery, are all exceedingly neat, and reflect great credit on the taste and spirit of the proprietor. There is a small circular burying-ground in the policies which con tains the remains of several of the chiefs of the Mac phersons. A large farm of great fertility is attached to the Castle; and the enlightened manner in which it is cultivated, and the great exertions which have been lately made to preserve it from the ravages of the Spey, by means of artificial embankment, convey to the mind a vivid idea of the benign and fostering influences of an enterprising and resident proprietor. Spending some time in the grounds, the royal party then returned to the Castle, and, after partaking of a cold collation, took leave of their delighted guests. The royal cortege arrived at the floating bridge about six o'clock. Her Majesty, in returning, wore a grey headed cloak to protect her from the cold air. It is now arranged that the Queen and the royal party will pass through the Crinan Canal on Satur day, and the squadron will anchor the same evening in Campbeltown Bay, and sail thence either on Sun day or Monday morning—most probably the former, as I understand the tide will be more favourable for entering Fleetwood on that day. The royal party will, in that case, proceed to London by railway on Monday. THE LONDON GAZE i TE. (THIS EVENING.)

(From the London New Frice Current of Sept. 17.) SUGAR.--Today importers of Raw Sugar were not inclined to submit to any further reduction in the value, but all parties were cautious in their proceedings. Of \Vest India Muscovado the quantity sold in the private market was c3O hhds and trcs, but former rates were supported for nearly all kinds. A public sale of 109 hhds Barbadoes sold at 45 to 45s Gd for fine yellow, 42s 5d for good middling and good, and at 40s to 42s for middling, which are steady rates. The total sales for the week are 2,040 hhds and trcs. RFINED.—To-day Refined Goods met with little at tention from the home trade, and there are sellers upon former reduced terms. For Bonded Crushed Sugar 303 Gd to 31s 6d accepted for fine. MARITHIS.—At a public sale of 3,876 bags and 37 casks of Mauritius, former rates are supported, and the whole sold. _ _ _ EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 3,158 bags; the chief part sold, and at full rates. FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 996 bkts Java were all withdrawn. 50 hhds and 230 barrels Porto Rico chiefly sold at steady prices. The private sales for the week are a cargo of white Havannah at 30s ► for exiaortation ; 500 chests yellow Havannah on the spot at 25s for fine, and 1,000 bags low white China at 21s 6d ; 150 hhds St. Eustatius 38; 6d per cwt. COFFEE.—To-day there was not much desire shown to operate in Ceylon Coffee, and at the public sa.es of 1,457 bags, prices further declined 6d for Native, but Plantation fetched full rates—good ordinary Native sold at 35s 6d, real good ordinary 26; 6d, pea berry 40; to 435, damaged 335, Plantation good coloury 62s 6d, middling 53s 6d to 595, low middling 50s to 52s 6d, fine and fine fine ordinary 45s 6d to 49s 6d, ordinary and good ordinary 42s to 445, triage 33s to 37s 6d, and damaged 27s to 41; 6d. Mocha met with little attention, and 339 bales were only in part sold at' about former rates—middling yellow 59s to 61s, da maged 32; to 355, triage 35s 6d to 505, and low ditto 16s per cwt. TEA.—There is not so much desire shown on the part of holders of the better description of Congou to realise this week, but the amount of business concluded has been to a moderate extent only; still the supply is less plentiful. For the lower qualities there is, however, a good demand, and full rates are obtained, as merchants offer but a moderate quantity for sale. Pouchong sells steadily at 5d to 9d for low to good. Souchong is little required. Fine Green Tea is dull of sale, and price; tend downwards, as there is an increasing supply, but low and middling sorts continue in good demand owing to the low rates that prevail. Scented Teas are in moderate demand low as prices are. The value of Caper is 8d to is 6d per lb. None has been submitted to public competition since this day week, whilst the arrivals during that period were of little moment, but the quantity taken for home con sumption was large, whilst the deliveries for exportation were to a fair extent. Corron.—There has been a decrease in the demand for East India this week, whilst holders have been more inclined to realise, and the limited business transacted by private treaty_was upon rather lower terms. The public sales yesterday of 1959 bales of Surat went off with heaviness, and only 800 bales were actually sold at prices showing a fall on those of this day week of id per lb. SPIRITS.—For Jamaica Rum holders succeeded in getting nearly former rates for all sorts, as the supply is small, but there has been only a limited demand this week from exporters or the home trade. The total sales are 200 puns of Jamaica. Leeward Island is still dull of sale, and 2s 3d is nearest value of proof. East India is little required, and can be obtained at is lld to 2s for proof with certificate. :For Demerara full rates are generally obtained, but the sale aro only 130 puns at 3s to 3s 2d for 27 to 30 30 per cent over proof of fair and middling quality, and 3s 4d to 3s 6d for good and fine 31 to 38 per cent over proof. Of Havannah Rum there are further arrivals, but the chief part is being vatted for the purpose of shipment to Greece and Italy, on account of the importers. The value of proof is is Bd.. In Brandy of any kind there has been little passing, and prices remain as pre viously, at which there are tree sellers. Geneva is little wanted, still shipping sorts are to be obtained at 2s Bd, and fine for home consumption at 3s 3d to 3s 6d per gallon. For British Corn Spirits and Gin prices are the same as last week, but with a quiet market. SPICES.—For black Pepper of all kinds the demand has been more active. At auction 1,106 bags of Malabar went at 3d for good heavy brown, 24d to 2id for good light, and at 2d to 2d for sea damaged. Privately sales to a fair extent have been concluded. White is held with more firmness, and none offered at auction: privately several sales have been made at 34d to 5d for common to fine. For Nutmegs previous rates are asked, but exporters as well as the home trade are less inclined to do business, and 12 pkgs at auction were taken in. Mace has been sought after, but the supply is small, and prices are firm. For Cinnamon there are few purchasers; sales can be made upon terms of last quarterly auctions whilst there is a fair supply of all kinds. For the better qualities of Cloves there are not many buyers, but other sorts are wanted, and of such the supply is small. Cassia Lignea is still in short supply, and all kinds being wanted, prices continue on the advance. RlCE.—There has been a deerease in the demand for all descriptions of East India this week, whilst importers have been more inclined to realize, and plentifully sup plying the market produced a decline in prices of 3d to 6d per cwt. Of the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to 12,247 bags, not about half found buyers. Privately exporters and the home trade have operated with caution, and on the part of speculators little desire has been manifested to buy. Patna has been in excel lent demand. For Arrowroot there is rather more de mand, but prices do not improve. COCHINEAL is still only in limited demand, and the market continuing to be liberaLy supplied, prices have suffered a further depression of ld per lb; indeed the quantity brought to market is still exceeding the wants of exporters and the home trade. At auction 291 bgs Honduras were disposed of. Ons.—Although there are further arrivals of Fish Oils, still holders have shown firmness this week, and refrained from offering any at public sale, but there is no improvement to notice in the demand from exporters or the home trade, and a fair quantity is held by Im porters. For Cod the rates insisted upon are 271 5s to to 27! 10s, but there are few buyers to be met with ; the marl, et will be be better able to sell shortly. On the past of importers of Seal there is little desire to sell. Purchases made in all sorts of Southern have been of little moment, although low and middling quality can be obtained at 241 to 251, and good to fine 251 10s to 261105. In Sperm a good business has been concluded. Linseed Oil is little wanted by exporters or the home trade, and as the supply continues increasing prices are on the decline. For forward delivery there are sellers at 26s to 26s 3d, but few buyers are to be met with. The supply is on the increase, and is likely so to continue, as prices are much above those of the past season and are highly remunerating to the crushers. Rapeseed Oil is not much required. For Cocoa Nut prices rule high' as the supply is small, whilst the trade are much is want of the article. Palm and Olive have been in ex cellent request. Lard Oil is dull. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HAMMERSMITH. Yesterday Christopher Charles Thurston, a well dressed man, who was formerly a conductor in the service of the Hammersmith Conveyance Company, was placed at the bar before Mr. W. F. Beadon, the sitting magistrate, for further examination on a charge of having been concerned with others, not in custody, in stealing, on the 3d inst., from the premises of Mr. William Redkison, the Sussex Arms Tavern, tßroad way, Hammersmith, Bank of England notes to the value of 1001., and a cheque on the banking-house of Messrs. Drowett and Fowler for 12/. 3s. Bd. The prisoner was first examined on Thursday, the 9th inst., when Joseph Gardiner, of No. 11, Ely street, Pearson-street, Kingsland-road, deposed that he was a porter, working occasionally at Birch's, the confectioner on Cornhill. The: prisoner resembled a man who, on Friday, the 3d inst., about half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, came to witness on Cornhill and asked if he was a porter, to which he re plied in the affirmative. He then asked if witness knew the banking-house of Messrs. Drewett and Fowler, and what his charge would be to go there with a cheque. Witness told him that he knew the banking-house, and his charge would be 63., when the prisoner gave him a cheque for 121. 3s. 8 1., and told him to go to the banking-house and get it cashed, saying he had to be at the Cross Keys Inn, in Alders gate-street, at half-past two o'clock, and that witness was to bring the money to him there. Witness told the prisoner that it only wanted a minute to half-past two o'clock, and then went with the cheque to Messrs. Drewett and Fowler's bank, in Prince's-street, City, where it was stopped, and witness was detained. Had not seen the priso❑er since that day until he then saw him in custody. To the best of his belief the prisoner was the same man. The prisoner had not, however, the same coat on that he had that day. The prisoner said it was the same coat he had on at the time. iiI.BEADON said, after that admission he should remand the prisoner. Yesterday the court was crowded by the inhabi tants of the neighbourhood, anxious to witness the proceedings. Mr. Wontner, the solicitor, appeared for the prisoner. The following additional evidence was produced : Francis Neville, of No. 35, Exeter-street, Lisson grove, deposed that,he was a cab driver, badge No. 8,642. On the afternoon of Friday, the 3d inst., about five minutes past two o'clock, witness was standing feeding his horse in Lombard-street, near the corner of Birehin-lane, when he saw the old porter whom he saw in court that day, and a man gave him something into his hand, and he heard him tell the porter to ask for the name of Roberts. About half an hour or three-quarters afterwards witness was by the Mansion. house, and again saw the porter with a gen tleman. Both got into witness's cab, but he had no conversation with them until after they had got to Hammersmith. While standing outside the Sussex Arms witness told the ostler what he had seen, who then told him there had been a robbery committed at the house that day. Witness was then called in and questioned as to the description of the man whom he saw give something to the porter, when he said that was a stout man, and wore an old velveteen coat or jacket much worn, and a hat very much worn. Could not identify the prisoner as the man. Thought the man was stouter than the prisoner. The prisoner's hat was like that worn by the man. Inspector Morgan, T division, informed the magis trate that lie should be able to prove, by persons who were present when he made his first statement, that he had omitted a very important portion of it. Charlotte Skinner deposed that she was barmaid at the Sussex Arms Tarvern. The prisoner had been in the almost daily habit of frequenting that.house for the last two years. On the evening before the rob bery the prisoner was sitting in front of the bar when Mrs. Redkison came down stairs into the bar, with the cash-box in her hand. The prisoner looked at Mrs. Redkison, and in - a few minutes after wards left the house. The next morning he returned to the house about half-past nine o'clock, and sat in front of the bar. He was sitting in the same place when the two other men suspected of the robbery came in and went up stairs, about eleven [o'clock, and also when they came down and went out, about ten mi nutes past twelve o'clock ; and he left about eight or ten minutes after them, and never came again to the house until the morning of Thursday, the 9th inst., when he was given into custody. The robbery was committed on Friday, the 3d. inst. Sergeant Mount, 1 29, deposed that, from informs tion he was in possession of he had reason to believe he should at the next examination have important evidence to produce which would affect the prisoner most materially if he was again remanded. Mr. Wontner objected to any further rem and i on the ground that sufficient time had been already given the police to produce evidence against the prisoner of the nature described, if they had any to bring for ward ; or that, at any rate, the prisoner would be admitted to bail, he having come forwa rd by.going to the house and courting inquiry. The prowler, on seeing the landlord, asked him for an explanation of certain words he had uttered about him, and waited while a policeman was sent for. H e had not evaded justice. Mr. Redkison, in answer to questions pu t to him said, when the prisoner came to the house on the 9th instant, he asked him (Mr. Redkison) if he had or tning to say about him. He told the prisoner that he had nothing to say to him,' but if he wen t to the police-station they had something to say to him. Th e prisoner wanted him to serve him with some gin , but he refused to do so. Mr. BEADON said the prisoner had evidently acted. like a man who, believing that no evidence agauins' him had been obtained, was trying to brave it ° , t " A He should remand the prisoner for a week, and cm__" not, after the evidence which bad been gone into, take bail for his appearance. The prisoner was accordingly again remanded. WANDS WORTH. Yesterday Mr. John Henry Spicer, a paper man y facturer, carrying on business in Garratt-lecei Wandsworth, summonedwa to this court to answer, an information laid by order of the Commissioners Excise, charging him with having manufacture? 76,7401 b. weight -of paper, the duty pa y a ble on s' hieß, amounted to 503/. 12s. lid., and which sum not ha ; ing been paid upon demand, it wa s now sought t h e amount the sum of 1,0071. 4s. 3d., being double t° amount of duty.

T he quantity of paper manufactured in that time was 76,7401b5., Af. e duty payable 5031. 12s. lid. He had least a dc"‘:: with the defendant about the 29th of Aug to Pal the sum of 3091. 7s. lid., which was due on the I . r ed Since that period additional duty had been /net o f by defendant, amounting in the whole to the sow 503/. 12s. lid. • for th e Mr. Joseph Pacey, the Supervis or of Excise district, said the duty payable by defendan. as; paper manufacturer should have been paid to hon. on demand. He went to defendant's mill, and deina_nf, the sum of 1941. 55., and left a written notice of . t u nn demand with the foreman; that amount was for nt accrued since the 23d of August ; the whole adr of duty due is now charged with 5031. 12s. 107.1'4 part of which had been paid, and thereby the sum to 1,007/. 4s. 3d., to recover which they n" so ugh a warrant of dstress.
