To-day was appointed for the last examination of Mr. Maclean, late M.P. for Oxford.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY.) - _ IN RE JORDEN CHADWICK THE ELDER. The insolvent, an old man nearly eighty years old, Whose case was before the Court a few days ago, again appeared. He had been an old soldier, and had lately imagined that he was heir-at-law to Sir An drew Chadwick, and as such entitled to the estates belonging to the title in the neighbourhood of Ox ford-street. He had commenced litigation, and put tessrs. Broadwood, the brewers, to considerable law e2'euses. To-day he again appeared, and had not filed the documents, which he said would prove his title. The object was that the papers should be filed i❑ Court to Prevent further litigation. Mr. Commissioner Pmurs—Where is your pedi gree? Insolvent—lt is at Hackney. Mr. Commissioner PHILIPS—I suppose at a public house? Insolvent—Yes, it is. The case was adjourned until the pedigree and other documents were forthcoming. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Charlotte Mackell was indicted for stealing a taunterpane, and two blankets, from her ready furnia. hed lodgings.' It appeared that the prisoner , du rin g a moment of e : hose distress, took the above ar ticles to one of nse dens of extortion and robbery called " dolly shops."„ Upon one article the sho p keeper lent a t tiling, and upon the prisoner going to release it, or they call it, re-purchase it, on the following day, b L e was charged twopence by way of inter est. The "inkets she deposited on Sunday, for two shillings 141 d sixpence, and released them on Monda y , when s he had t o pay fourpence for the use of that sum for L il e, day. The parties usi n g those shops were gene ' the most destitute , an d the articles they bring ‘u them such as, though indispensable to the unfortu- N l te persons pawning, yet would not be taken 1 0 by many of the regu l a r p awnbrokers. Another thing which makes those harpies drive a :lost profitable trade is the fact of there bein g no Co p r es ource to raise money on a Su nda y , and Znsequently upon that day they make their chief 'vest. Th e prisoner was found Guilty, and The ASSISTANT JUDGE , in sentencin g her to be impris one d for two months, commented strongly upon iLabberies inflicted upon the most helpless and desti mite classes in the metropolis by these " dolly shops," rd 'aid he hoped the police w o u ld kee p a close eye on these extortioners. it Charlotte Turner, a young w oman who was well n°wn to the police as an adep t in robbin g furnished lo dgings was found Guilty on two indictments, and Ilentenced to four months' imprisonment for each fence. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Geo rge Winchester was placed at the bar, before nr• Jardine, on a charge of stealing a pair of silver s ugar tongs and some spoons , from the chambers of Bowden, solicitor, 23 , Linco ln ' s Inn. i t 't appeared that this morning, about te n o'clock, 17/. Bowden's serv ant met the prisoner leaving the settin g - room . lie asked the prisoner i f he wanted t r• Bowden; he said he did, but it was of no o nsequenoe, and he would call ag ain. The servant, R i pwever, insisted on his return in g . On entering the ,itting-room with the prisoner he missed the articles is question, and 'barged the prisoner with stealing us e m. The prisoner admitted the theft, and produced i'etn from his pocket. The servant had left the .e° l3 : l but few minutes before, leaving the outer t „ ° °,_r open. The inner door could be opened from the %%side, without a key. 41 r. JARDINE said that he would remand the pri -4.11er till Tuesday next, as the police might obtain Crination affecting him, and on the next examine he would commit the prisoner for trial. THAMES.—(THIS DAY.) oti Guillaume Coignier, a Frenchman, was brought up va rereand, charged with steal in g six leather skins, i 21. ss. 2d., the property of Messrs. Bowie and 11 0 , rne Y , proprietors of the well-known model lodging in Glasshouse -yard, NV bitechapel and George isee r moley, a boot and shoemaker, was charged with p,,,t'ing the same, knowing them to be stolen. The —4,lLetdars have already appeared in The Sun. adc lnis morning additional corroborative evidence was had against Coignier, and it was also proved that Isev u ad plundered the establishment for some time, A l i e re' cases being clearly made out against him, on f charges he was fully com mitted to Newgate ° l ' lr • Hodgson, solici tor, who a pp eared for Crowley, theyth brought forward evidenc e to his character, and 1 ) : Policeman, H 162, who had th e char g e, said he I m re the character in the neigh bourhood of an honest e , ustrious man, and had been a master tradesman for eighteen y ea rs. . YARDLEY said that might avail him in another I „, t e e , but he should not be doing his dut y to the L'aulie it b e were to overlook what he considered a Srss offence. He should eomniit him likewise to ewgate to take his trial for receiving stolen goods, - lapwing them to hare been such. Mr. Hodgson then applied for him to be a dmitted (4 bail, and y ARDLET, after some consideration, consented t O accept bail for the p r isoner's appearance, him self iu 1 „1° 01 . and two good and substantial su re t ies in the 'of 501. each. eLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) George Langley and George Cane were charged filth st ealing two coats, and other articles of w earing . apparel the property of the guardians of the poor of • Pancras parish They came into the house in a de stitute and most filthy condition, and were supplied with c lothes and sent to the stone-yard from which t he y immediately abscond e d , taking all 'the clothes they had just re ceived with them. In about a week afterwards they ih!urned, w i t h nothing on t h em but trousers and irt, when they were g iven into custody. These thefts were, it was said, becoming customary amongst the more confirmed pauper vagrants. They were committed to prison for 14 days. - - - REGISTRATION S.—( THIS DAY.) WESTMINSTER. The Revising Barrister (Mr. Bayley) sat to-day- It ten o'clock, in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, West- Minster Hall. Mr. S • —nuth, whose case was! 3? orted yesterday, Was called and examined—Hes Ail he was the owner of a house situated in Earl's-court ; that he occupied merely a cellar, in which he kept flag stones and building materials ; that its value was under 3/. a year, and that the rest of the house was let in tene ments to eight different parties, whom be supplied with latch-keys. He kept a key himself, and was in the habit of going backwards and forwards to the house almost daily. The door of the cellar was locked with a padlock. He did not reside in the house, but he paid the rent and taxes. The REVISING BARRISTER said, the question was Whether the occup a t ion of the cellar i n the way stated by the witness was an cecupation of th e whole house or no t. He was of opinion that such an occupancy was not sufficient, and disallowed the claim. Mr. Huggett said he should appeal to the Court above against the decision. Mr. Steel claimed in respect of a house rented by him at No. 17, Peter-street, St. James's. The case was exactly like the preceding one. The claimant lived at No. 3, Pickering - p lace, and his vote was dis allowed for that house in c onsequence of the omission of his name from the rate books. The claim was disallowed. The decision will be appealed against. No other cases of the slightest importance occurred duriDg the morning. A gentleman was robbed of 3,8001. on Sunday ast, whilst listening to one of the local preachers, who " each Sabbath, frequent the area in fr ont of the Liver r?ol custom-house. Ho has offered a reward, but no clue to the thief has been discovered. HEAVY CROP OF WHEAT.—From a piece of ground at Norton, in the pesses. , ,ion of lir. H. Linton. there hasbeen . reaped, in excellent condition, a sph udid cry of wheat, with the enormous yield of 120 stooks to the acre. " a underland Herald. T!l1 SUN, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool was dull again yes terday, and closed very heavily. American sorts were 1. pt r lb. for ord., and mid. and other qualities under went lese chane.e. American were 60. to 7 d. per lb. Total ties 1.500 Wes. RaL way Shares generally de clint-d, and the markt t closed very flatly, with a consi derab;e amount of stock offering. The steamer from New York is looked for with great inten,st, ard perhaps we might add, with some anxiety, but there ere many parties who yet hope that the mer cantile community in America may not have suffered much from the stoppages known to have occurred here up to the period of the last accounts received out. How the more recent reverses will be borne remains to be seen. The firm of Perkins, Schlusser, and Mullins, to which we alluded yesterday, has extensive connexions both with Russia and India, and the liabilities are about 250,0001. The whole of their remittances from India were, we believe, upon Reid, Irving, and Co. The West India house spoken of has publicly contradicted the report circulated so generally yesterday. At Man chester several houses have succumbed to the pressure. The discount houses are still doing very little busi ness, and require more than the usual number of names to bills, or some collateral security. Messrs. Sander eon are daily receiving large sums from bills falling in. Messrs. Cockerell's estate is said to promise very fairly, but a winding-up is a sad affair where property has to be realised in periods of mistrust. There are accounts of July 25th from the Cape of Good Hope. On the frontier cattle stealing was still carried on, hnd the effect of the reverse sustained by our troops at Burn's Hill had been to alter the deter mination of the Chief Pato, who was previously in clined to surrender himself, with his horses, guns, Sce. The Stock Market is looking rather firmer again, and there is a decided improvement in the tone. Consols have been up to 854 a for Money, and to 86 and 86i for Account. Exchequer-bills have realised 2s. to 6s. premium. The statements relative to Messrs. Cockerell and Sanderson's have had a good effect The Foreign Market is totally inactive. Spanish Three per Cents. are 281, Mexican 19, and Brazilian Small 80. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 54 to 54k. Railway Shares have been dull again, but rather firmer.

A decided increase has taken place in the arrivals of English Wheat for our market, this week, coastwise, as well as by land carriage. The show of samples, this morning, was moderately good, and the demand for all descriptions was exceedingly heavy, at barely Monday's reduced currencies. Nearly 20,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand since Saturday evening. As a large quantity was brought forward to-day, the sales progressed heavily, and, in some instances, the quota tions were almost nominal. The best malting Barley supported late rates ; but all other kinds were a mere drug. In Malt very few sales took place. Peas, how ever, ruled about stationary. There was leas business doing in Oats, and the damp qualities might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour as last advised. ARRIVALS. I Oats. I Flom. 1,530 qrs.

The Earl and Countess of Carlisle were entertaining a large party at the time, and the accident of course caused great alarm amongst the visitors.

We have been requested to publish the following letter : _ . _ " 3, New Bank-buildings, Sept. 28, 1847. " Messrs. Mannings and Anderdon present their compliments to the editor of The Sun, and having had their attention called to a wanton falsehood in the Standard paper of this evening, purporting that they have stopped payment, they are assured that the edi tor of The Sun will allow them to give a prompt and decided contradiction, through his paper, to a state ment for which there is not the slightest foundation or pretence." THE RIVER PLATE. The following letter of Lord Howden to Sir Thomas Herbert will show what his views were in retiring so suddenly and unceremoniously from the position taken by the British Government; and in justice to the parties injured by this course, we give a few observations upon it contained in a letter from Monte Video : " Monte Video, July 15, 1847. " Sir—ln my instructions from Lord Palmerston, dated March 22, 1847, it is said— " You can, if needful, give the arrangements the character of simple military conventions, involving no idea of a recognition of rights, but simply con taining the admission of an existing fact, that certain persons are at the head of certain bodies of troops.' " Acting according to the spirit of this permission, and anxious to avoid the dreadful expenditure of human life, cruelly and unprofitably consumed in a war such as this, when, though the daily conflicts be inconclusive and inglorious, the sum total of death at the end of the month is very considerable, I proposed, in concert with my colleague, Count Walewslri ' a fair and honourable armistice to the Government of Monte Video and to General Oribe. It was to last six months, during which time the town was to be pro visioned by General Oribe, who was to furnish, at the lowest price of first cost, 1,500 head of cattle per month. " General Oribe accepted this armistice, not only with the condition imposed, but in a manner by which the title he assumes of legal president should not be presented in signature, so as to incapacitate the Pleni potentiaries of England and France affixing their names to the document. " The Government of Monte Video has refused this armistice, which I do not hesitate to say was ad vantageous to its interests, as it was without money, without credit, and without native troops. " As I consider, first, that the Orientals of Monte Video are not at this moment free agents, but entirely controlled by a foreign garrison ; and, secondly, that the blockade, having entirely lost its original charac ter of a coercive measure against General Rosas, has become exclusively a mode of supplying with money, partly the Government of Monte 'Video, and partly certain foreign individuals there, to the continued detriment of the extensive and valuable commerce of England in these waters ; I hereby request you, sir, to raise the blockade of both sides of the river Plate, and to take the measures necessary for ceasing all further intervention in these waters. " After acting together for so long a time, allow me to take this opportunity for thanking you sincerely for the uniformly kind and effective assistance I have received from you. on every occasion for the further ance of her Majesty's service during a protracted and difficult negotiation.—l have the honour, &c.

We find a decrease kof 7,7191. 17s. id. in the corresponding quarter of 1846. The gross amount of the general revenue for the past quarter is 47,7091. 6s. 7d.; of the Crown re venues, 5,530/. 16s. ld. . . The total decrease amounts to 12,2141. lls. 6d., from which the increase (chiefly arising in duties on foreign goods imported, and spirits distilled in the colony) is to be deducted, leaving, as we have stated above, a decrease of 7,7191. 17s. ld. _ _ GOOD Naws.—We have been politely favoured by a gentleman who has just received advices from home, with the intelligence that the wheat shipped home, per the Benjamin Hope, realised 9s.

DEATH OF DOCTOR CORRAPI.--Dr. John Oliver Curran, whose illness of fever we mentioned some days ago, sunk rapidly during the latter part of Saturday, and through the night of that day ; and, notwithstand ing all that the skill and brotherly aid of the ablest men in the profession could effect, the fatal typhus claimed him for its victim, and be expired at nine o'clock on the Sunday morning—another bright name added to the list of martyrs of the medical profession in Ireland. Dr. Curran had but entered his 27th year. He was a professor of the practice of medicine to the Apothecaries' Hall, a licentiate of the College of Physicians, a graduate of Trinity College, a member of the Royal Irish Aca demy, and attached to all the literary and scientific institutions in this city.

About half-past one o'elock this (Tuesday) morn ing an accident of a frightful nature occurred at the Queen-street terminus, Glasgow, of the above railway line. It appears that a luggage train from Edinburgh, on coming down the incline from the Coy/lairs station, acquired such a velocity, while passing through the tunnel, that the men stationed at the breaks had not sufficient power to arrest its progress. The train was heard by several parties in Queen-street coming down the incline at such a rapid pace as to excite alarm, when, almost immediately after, a tremendous crash was heard which shook the neighbourhood. On reach: : ing the scene of the catastrophe, we found that the train had, with the fearful momentum it had acquired, penetrated about fifty feet into one of the railYvay company's stores, situated above the Star Hotel, bringing down, in its headlong career, a thick stone gable and two stone partitions, and entering into two of the offices connected with the store. The scene of ruin that here presented itself was most appall ing; three breaks, with a nupbber of trucks lying piled above one another, an covered with the stones of the gables and partitions, and the beams, rafters, and flooring of the storehouse, were lying together in one mingled mass. We understand that there were four or five men on the trucks at the time ; three have escaped with their lives, although two of them are severely injured, and two are still amissing, one of whom, James M.acarthur, a married man, was seen on the foremost break im mediately before the collision took place, and there can be little doubt that he has met his death among the rubbish. One of the guards leapt off the train as it emerged from the tunnel, and escaped with a slight cut on the head and a few bruises, the other two who have been found, were got lying among the ruins senseless, covered with large stones, but recovered, in about twenty minutes after, BO far as to be able to speak. They are both very severely bruised, but from the confusion that prevailed at the station, we were unable to learn the particulars concerning them, or the names of the parties. We believe that medical aid was promptly on the spot, and everything done that could alleviate the sufferings of the parties hurt. Men were busily engaged in examining and removing the rubbish to discover, if they could, the bodies of those amusing. -.North British Mail. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Frice Current of Sept. 28.) SIIOAR.—To-day a decline in the value of several sorts of Raw Sugar took place, in consequence of the g reat increase there was in the supply at market ; but the home trade were induced to operate upon a l arg er sci:L; whilst shippers directed their attention 73 30 " u ' s was article.

Of Jamaica, 7 barrels at 34s for low ordinary. 73 barrels 1 hail barrel Rio were taken in at 32s for fine ordinary. TEA.—Since our last report holders have manifested firmness, and refrained from submitting any to public competition. In Black only a moderate amount of busi ness has been transacted, but holders are firm. The purchases made in Green have been of little moment in any kind; still, on the part of holders there is firmness, and they insist upon the following rates:—Hyson, ordi nary is 2d to Is 4d, mid and but mid is 5d to 2s, good 2s 2d to 2s 6d, fine 2s 8d to 3s ; Gunpowder,-Canton kind ltd to 1s 2d ; Hyson sort Is 3d to 3s 3d, superior 3s 4d to 45 6d ; Canton sort 9d to Is Id, Hyson kind is 2d to 2s Bd, superior 2s 2d to 3s 4cl; Caper 8d to is 6d ; Twankay, low to good 7d to Is, fine is Id to is 8d ; Hyson skin 7d to ls, better quality is 2d to 2s 8d ; Young Hyson, L low to middling is to is 6d, good to fine is 8d to 2s 6d. t , Pekoe Tea has been sparingly dealt in, moderate as prices are ; Orange Pekoe is only worth 9d to Is 4d, snd better sort is 6d to is 10d ; Pekoe, black leaf is to is 10d. floaery is 6d to 4s per lb.

Nutmeg s ar %anted, and 10 ca.lis at auction sold at full rates. SPIRITS.—Since Tuesday last exporters and'the home trade purchased all qualities of Jamaica with reluctance, although merchants have been desirous to sell, andrac cepted prices rather under those that existed previously. The total sales are only 200 puns. There is a fair supply, especially of the low and middling qualities. Demerara is dull of sale, and prices are on the decline ; only 100 puns have been sold since our last report. Leeward Island is offered upon fur ther reduced terms, still the purchases made have been trifling at 2s Id to 2s 2d proof strength, and the supply is good. For East India the market is in a dull state,..aud_there are sellers at is 10d to 2s proof with certificate, whilst the supply continues Onifie - increase. For Havannah there are few home or export buyers. Brandy is yet little required by shippers or the home trade, and there is still a desire on the part of holders to sell at low rates.

RICE.—To-day the busitiess transacted by private treaty in East India Rice was of little moment, either for exportation or home consumption. At public sale 4,803 bags have been offered, and nearly the whole taken in at the former value. The market looks very dull for all kinds of East India Rice. COCHINEAL—On the part of holders therels more firmness, and they supply the market less freely, but privately there are at present few purchases for home consumption or exportation. At public sale 7 bags of Honduras went at 4s lld to 5s 3d for middling to good silvers, being the full value. For auction 160 bags are declared. The stock is smaller than it was last year, and the deliveries are greater, whilst prices are as low. The arrivals, however, are much larger than they were in 1846 up to this time. FRUlT.—Currants are still wanted, and of old large parcels have been sold, Zante and Cephalonia at 40s, and Patras at 38s to 40s. New are wanted, fine Patras at 455. On the part of merchants there is firmness. Valentin Raisins have been operated in with cau tion, owing to the high rate of 50s being still asked for new, and the supply is on the increase. Muscatels are only in moderate demand at 60s to 755, Sultanas 70s. New Turkey pulled Figs are in demand at 60s to 70s. New Jordan Almonds sell slowly at 101 los to ill. The accounts received from Malaga of the destruction of a great portion of the new crop, caused holders of old to advance their prices 4s to 5s per cwt. Chesme Raisins are firm. On.s.—ln the value of Fish Oils little variation has taken place since our last report, and the arrivals have been unimportant. On the part of holders there is firm.. ness, and the market has been again moderately sup plied. In Seal purchases to a fair extent have been made upon the following terms :—Pale at 281 lOs to 291, straw 281, yellow 25/ los to 261 10s, and brown 24/ 10a to 251.

For Sperm a good demand has been experie need, and the prices obtained have been 841 to 86/ for fair to fine quality. On the part of holders there is firmness, and they supply the market less freely. At public sale 6 tuns found buyers—good quality at 841, low and very low 701 to 80/ per tun, and the value of headmatter is 851 to 871. The home trade continue to be almost the exclusive purchasers of Fish Oils. There is less demand for Olive, and merchants are not so firm, only a limited business has been concluded. Gallipoli at 481 to 481 lOsa Spanish and Sicily 46/ lOs to 47/10s; Barbary, Levant, and Portugal 44/ 103 to 46Z The deliveries, however, still exceeding the arrivals.

For forward delivery many contracts have been entered into at 45s 6d to 46s for P. Y. C. Home-made sells more freely at 47s to 48s net cash. All other kinds of Tallow arc more required, and former rates are fully supported, but the supply continues to be good ; at auction 235 casks Australian were sold, fine at 46s to 46s 6d, and low to good at 44s 3d to 458 9d per cwt. The stock has been further increased, and is greater than it was in the past year, still prices are above those of that time ; but the deli veries are larger, and the arrivals show an increase, At St. Petersburgh the shipments of Tallow have exceeded those of th• past season by nearly 20,000 casks. For auction here 400 packages are declared for Friday. The. value of Rough Fat is 2s 9d per stone. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAT.—The Undine steam-yacht, Mr. G.

In the year 1588 Felipe 11., King of Spain, hav ing resolved to distress Elizabeth, fitted out a fleet, called the " Invincible Armada." It consisted of 150 large ships, on board of which were mounted 2,620 pieces of cannon, 8,000 seamen, 20,000 soldiers, and the flower of the Spanish nobility. This fleet, com manded by the Duke of Medina-Sidonia (one of the ancestors of that high-minded Grandee of the same name, who accompanies the Conde de Montemolin), sailed from Lisbon (Portugal being at that time in possession of the Spaniards): when the season was too far advanced, and being overtaken by a violent storm, a great part of it was dispersed. Twelve ships, driven upon the coast of England, were captured by the English fleet, which consisted of one hundred sails ; fifty were wrecked upon the coasts of France, Scotland, Holland, Ireland, and Denmark. Such was the disastrous fate of an expedition from which nothing less than the subjugation of England had been anticipated. When the sad news was brought to Felipe he coolly uttered these words—" I did not send it against the wind e FALMOUTH, SEPT. 24.—The late prevailing wes erly and north-west winds have caused a great augmen tation of arrivals of grain vessels at this anchorage, which, at the present moment contains at least 150 ships chiefly from the Mediterranean, waiting for orders. These are irrespective of the ordinary daily arrivals and departures at and from the port. This large fleet em braces a variety of flags, rather more than one-third being French, Austrian, Russian, Prussian, Norwegian, Belgian, Swedish, Danish, Hanoverian, Hamburgh, Greek, lonian, and Maltese. The cargoes, which vary in quantity from 300 to 3,000 quarters, are chiefly wheat, barley, or maize, almost without exception in good con dition, and the freights range the wide latitude of from Bs. to 28s. per quarter. A great number of the vessels are order( d to the continent. The Marchioness Wellesley, accompanied by her relative, Mr. M‘Tavish, is expected to embark at the close of the ensuing week, fur the United States, on a visit to her family connexions in that country. Viscount Norreys, accompanied by Mr. Vernon Harcourt, M.P., leaves town to-day for the Dowager Countess Waldegrave's seat, Havtstock, Essex, where Mr. Harcourt's marriage with her Ladyship is to be solemnised. AN UNFOUNDED CHARGE. —On Monday, at the Liverpool police-court, a man and his wife were brought up on a charge (as it was understood) of interfering with some police-officers. A gentleman who is a drug gist iu Great Homer -street gave the case a very different complexion. It appeared that the accu s ed parties were quietly walking, when they were inter rupted and pushed against by a drunken man. Officer 405 came up, and afterwards 366. They somehow or other allowed the drunken man to escape, and took the accused to the station. The gentleman followed to hear the charge that would be made made against them, and was treated with coarseness by the keeper and officers, and ordered out of the station-house. He had voluntarily left his business almost unprotected to state the facts. Mr. Rushton severely reprimanded the officers, and ordered officer No. 405 (whose duetconuc had been the most improper) to be suspended. p soners were discharged, as it appeared there was no good cause for their being taken into custody at all. ExEcUTION IN lasLAND.—On Friday, at eleven o'clock, the extreme penalty of the law was carried into execution in front of the county gaol on Michael Ryan (Gostha) and Thomas Ryan (Body), who were convicted at the last assizes of the murder of sub-constable Crowfley. The unfortunate men were attended by the Rev. Messrs. Power, Heneberry, and O'Connor, who were unremitting in administering spiritual comfort to them in their last moments. T he ropes being adjusted in the press-room, and the caps placed on their heads, they walked out on the drop, and in a moment were launched into eternity. Neither of the unfortunate men made a doolaration as to their guilt or innocence.
