EVk.:NING THE LATE OCCURRENCES AT MADRID. the National Guard, and a pas ser by. The citizens re turned the fire with spirit , ee id.several soldiers of the line were killed or wounded. Fourteen balls struck General Alciama's horse. Th at officer fell under his horse, and miraculously rose ag .ain without injury. But the troops of the line, co vered by the turnings of the narrow streets, in which the were crowded toge ther, heard the firing , and succeeded in disengaging themselves. As soon as they lammed the cause of the conflict they declared they would not take any part in it. A c ompany of chasseurs of the King's Regiment went over to the ranks of the National Guard. The whole regiment refused to follow General Aldama, who withdrew ore foot. The soldiers went to their barracks. Soon afterwards the King's Regiment joined the Na tional Guard with sounds of music and the hymn of I Riego, and placed itself under the orders of the Munici pality. Aldama, however, tcok refuge in the Retiro, taking with him the foot chasseurs of the Regent, the artillery of the guard of Madrid, and a certain number of the cuirassiers of the guard ; all of these being privileged corps. There he bravely hoisted his flag, hoping that in making head against the storm in favour of the Mo derate party, the leaders of that party would come with reinforcements and rally around him. In vain he waited ; not a single mine presented himself ; End he might have adsed, us the man in a well-known caricature of the days of July at Paris, " would you be kind enough to tell me where arc the Moderados?" And the answer given might have been, "In their cellars.' It seems, besides, that General Aldama could not avoid publicly expressing this idea with all the energy of a soldier's indignation. He cursed those men who formerly accused him of weak ness and timidity, and who, in the hour of danger, when he braved it perhaps against his opinion, hid themselves and were not to be found. He acknowledged some what of the latest upon what side were the men who acted from conviction. The civism of the King's regiment could not be mis understood by the other corps. Madrid offered a spec tacle imposing, but calm. There was not one cry of re-action, and not one act of revenge sullied the events of that great day. In the evening the seventh provisional regiment of the line joined the National Guard. General Aldama still occupied the Retiro, and the strong barracks alongside of it. From that position he commanded Madrid ; and could have burnt it. Learning that the National Guards of the environs had risen en masse, and were marching upon the capital, he ab stained from a mulderous but useless defence, and at day-break gave the order for departure. The regiment of the Queen Regent put itself in motion ; but, instead of obeying the commands of the General, directed itself towards the Plaza Major, the central point of re union of the national forces, which they joined with cries of " Long live the Constitution T." The mounted Cuirassiers followed this example. The gendarmerie, both foot and horse, the Carabineers of the Custom house, ail of them old soldiers, placed themselves under the orders of the municipality. General Aldama quitted Madrid by a by-gate of the town, followed by the cannoneers of the guard, and a few horsemen obe dient to the ill-interpreted laws of discipline, and took the road towards Arganda. Where did he go ? No body knows. But in a very short time after his depar ture the cannoneers and horsemen returned in straggling parties. The Ayuntamiento of Madrid showed itself equal :o the exigencies of the mission which circumstances ren dered it necessary that it should fulfil. It named General Rodi Commandant of the combined forces of the National Guard and the Line, and General Lorenzo as the second in command. General Lopez was ap pointed to command the garrison, Don Juan Lusana was named to the office of Political Chief', aad Don Ramon Galatrava to that of the Intendance. The Ayuntamiento convoked the National Guards of the province ; they arrived cn masse, as well as the di. vision of the troops of the line cantoned in Old Castile, and called to arms all the citizens of Madrid, between the ages of 18 aad 40. At the present moment we have an army of 30,000 men. We are fortifying Madrid, and we are ready to bury ourselves under its ruins rather than endure the triumph of that infamous Camarilla, which degrades the throne, and sows disunion among the citizens, in order that it may reign over the nation under the shadow of royalty. The provincial deputation, the senators, and the de puties to the Cortes from the province of Madrid, have also joined the Municipality. A local Provisional Go vernment has been named, composed of Don Joachim Maria Ferrer, President, and First Alcade, Don Pedro Barroque, Dan Pio Laborde, Don Fernando Corradi, Don Jose Portida, Don Pedro Sainz de Baranda, and Don Va lentin Llanos. This Government provides for everything, and meets every exigency of the times. Couriers have been sent to the Queen at Valencia to make known to her the state of her capital, to General Espartero, and to all the provinces, inviting them to second the move ment at Madrid, and to rescue the Queen from the perfidious counsellors who compromise the Crown and disturb the peace which Spaniards have conquered for themselves at the price of so much blood. We do not for a moment doubt that the whole king dom will follow the movement of Madrid, and that Spain will answer once more in a most glorious manner those unmeaning accusations, which deny us the right and the faculty of being free and independent. We will be so, in spite of all our enemies. The day of the first of September will leave glorious and indelible remembrances. It belongs not only to Spain, but to modern civilisation. That party which has been called revolutionary, Exalted°, and said to be reduced to plot in clubs, has suffered during three years the persecutions of its opponents, and for three months a series of incredible insults. One day, one glorious day, has just put an end to a re-action which threatened to invade all, and on that day the people, the real people, arose, and demanded with dignity and with energetic resolution, the justice which they obtained at the price of their blood, and forgave their enemies, all the leaders of whom were in their hands. Not one cry of vengeance was raised, not one act of persecution took place. Madrid desired liberty, the people desired it even for their tyrants. 'We do not know a brighter page ban this in the history of the struggles of freedom. The regiment of Luredo has joined us. (From the Morninq Chronicle.) .. • THE IsT OF SEPTEMBER. Honour and glory to the capital of Spain 1 . She saved Liberty on that memorable day. In the history of mankind, as in that of individuals, there are always clays of supreme importance, in which, placed between taioral life and death, nations and indi viduals no longer hesitate ; danger then becomes a stimulant, and honour must be saved at all risks. In 1808, all Spain arose to defend her independence ; in 1833, the enlightened portion of the nation took up arms to secure her freedom. The first of these struggles lasted - six years, and the Spaniards reconquered their country ; the second has lasted seven years, and the Spaniards have expelled Don Carlos and gained a Con stitution., If after these two great proofs Europe should still doubt that we are yet a strong nation, and capable of great things, we will address ourselves to the true friends of the freedom of the human race, and offer them the day of the Ist of September as one of those of which history will receive the details with joy, be cause results such as that day brought forth honour a nation and cover it wash glory. We will not recall to memory the events which pre ceded the departure of the Royal Family for Barce lona, nor those which took place on the journey, and during their sojourn in the capital of Catalonia. Ail these are well known, and history has already gained the historte truth rotating to the dais of the 18th and ' - )itd of July. But what has not yet been told, and which nevertheless must be told, in order that the glorious in surrection of which Madrid has just given an example, may be properly understood, is this, that never, even in the darkest days of absolute monarchy in Spain, was the Crown of that country more grievously beset by the devouring ambition of an ignoble Camarilla. Never in any country was the respect which every nation owes to itself more deeply wounded ; never was the common sense of any country so defied as in Spain prior to the events of the Ist o f September. In Prussia, in Aus• tree, even in Russia itself. such a spectacle would have moved the people from their apathy, and constitutional Spain endured for two months an anarchy without ex ample—eomplaining, requesting, entreating, and not re volting. Everything, nevertheless, has its term, even the long-euffering patience of the Spaniards. The in surrection broke out. Let us see if ever there was an ineuirection more holy, or one more nobly begun. The Ministry of which Gonzalez was at the head was the personification of a political idea. M. Gon ' ialez being the eloquent opponent of the fatal law of the Aeuntamientes, member of the Minority of the Cartes, the legal suspension of that law, and its consti tutional revision by a new Cortes, should hive been the logical, the absolute results of the dismissal of Perez de Castro, end the succession of M. Gonzalez. Things, however, were managed differently. M. Gai.2l;eZ went to Barcelona, and the Crown desired that he should place himself in a situation which he had formerly combated, and that he should declare himself the continuer of a policy he formerly disapproved. Being a roan of steady principles and convictions, M. Gonzelez resolutely refused this, and proclaimed in all its latitude the constitutional dogma of a real responsibility and complete freedom of action. M. Gonzalez could not succeed in having these principles adopted as the basis of his administration, and he re tired. His colleagues, honourable men, but giving way to which their worthy chief could not share, leopeel. to be able to save the doctrine they advocated by the bEli; of some formal concessions. The non-accept ance of ice by M. Sancho, the resignation of M. Gon zaiez,kald that, almost immediately afterwards, of M. eleteepli Ferraz, left vacant the offiees of Minister of the interior, of Justice, and of Finance, as well as the Pre saieney of the Council. The last olive was given, stet to sly imposed upon, General Valentine Ferrez, Minister of War. M. Sitvela, an inhabitant of Coreuna, y :;-s named Minister of Justice ; and M. Cabello, of Saragossa, Minister of the Interior. These two belonged to tav ranks of the opposition ; M. Cabello especially, who bed rendered immense services to the army as the relit cal cilia of a province, advocated opinions much t more advanc cd than his colleagues. M. Secedes, em pioyed in the superior department of the finances, was ordered to accept, provisionally, the portfolio of that department. M. Silvela, ill and at two hundred _ leagues distance from Barcelona, could not reach that city for some considerable time. M. Cabello arrived before the departure of the Queen. True to his folmer principles, he made the same stipulations as M. Got,- zakez Tile Court was on the eve of its departure from Barcelona. Her Majesty ordered M. Cabello to fol low her to Valencia, where everything was to be ar ranged. M. Cabello obeyed. They arrived in the last-mentioned city, and nothing was arranged. M. Cabello gave in his resignation. M. ()Ms, whom the love of the public welfare and the hope of avoiding a catastrophe might for a moment have alic inated from M. Gonzalez, withdrew from the administra tion, and was followed is his turn by General Ferraz, who resigned his portfollo as Minister of War and Pre sident of the Council. Siece. the departure of the Queen, it may be said that Spain had had no Government. The Ministry, split into two factions, the one at Madrid. the other at Bar celona, formed no longer a unity but isolated individu acting without concert, and entirely at hap . hazard. After the fall of the Ministry of Perez de Castro, Spain for a period of six weeks saw this unex ampled scandal p rolonged. M. Sentillan, when be be . longed to the Ministry had only the department of finances. He was dismissed by the Crown, and was burdened at the same time with three portfolios— those of tee finances, of the interior, and of justice. Finally, M. Sentillan was replaced by an ad interim Minister, M. Secedes, to whom in like manner were confided these three important departments of the Ministry. At Barcelona, clerks in the Foreign-office and the War office exercised the responsible power of Ministers of State. _ _ It we P2cal to mind the events preceding this state of things, the violent dissolution of the Cortes of 1839, the new elections stained by fraud and violence, the re trograde spirit of the Cortes of 1840, the irritation and ferment of the country, caused by re-actionary laws, arid especially by the laa , of the Ayuntamientos, tex tual vio;ation 01 the Constitution, and then the cal;ision of Ministers with the glorious pacificator of Spain, we shad understand that the ministerial crisis, with its du ration and its deplorable phases, necessarily carried the exasperation of the people to its height. Nothing but a was wanting to kindle a general conflagration. `Peop;o cxpccted it. The Camarilla undertook to make r lt Ihiriit out. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICA- TION. The resignation of General Ferraz restored full liberty to the Camarilla. On the 29th of August the decree for the formation of an incre dible 'Ministry. We will not repeat the names of thole chosen to form part of it. At Madrid people ,were ,dmost • ignorant of them. We cannot speak of their previous career ; nullity has no previous career. It was with regret that we saw one name, and one only, in that insane decree, that of the brave General Aspiroz, who from his infancy had so :valiantly fought for liberty. The choice of such Nli nisters was not only an insult to the nation, for a long tinie the Camarilla had accustomed us to its stupid audacity ; it was also a direct insult to the party that .it pretended to serve : we say pretended—for one of the ohiefs of the Moderados, in reading over the names of those chosen for the Ministry, exclaimed, it ;s said, They have ruined us !" Ruined them was not the word. Do not let us believe it. But punished them --ves. The news of this act of folly arrived at Madrid on the evening oP the 31st of August. Nobody believed it. When the Official Gazette of the Ist of September had `removed all doubts, hesitation was at an end, the gaunt let was thrown down ; it belonged to the first who saw it io pick it up. Madrid felt herself worthy of the challenge. and accepted it. The Municipality has public sittings every week at a fixed hour. The Ist of September was one of these days. From an early hour in the morning the public uneasiness bad shown itself by signs, forerunners of great resolu tions. It was decided on that the people should pro 7:hoeerulito the H o t e l d e Vill e , as soon as t h e M un i c ip a lity d open its customary sitting. Long before the ap po.nted hour the crowd filled the square and the j cent streets. Th e N at i onal Guard instinctively took up arc 7, and formcd themselves spontaneously at the ordi nary rallying points. The Municipality assembled, and showed a desire . to proceed to business ; but ;con from without were taken up within, and the crowd.which tilled the has of the Hotel de Ville demanded that the Munici polityfirst questions ‘ should not proceed with administrative when the country was in danger. The Don Joachim Maria Ferrer, tranquillised the peopleAcldbe' saying that more than any body else the magistrates of y the people watched over the public s a f e t y ; t h at they were not ignorant of the dangers with whi c h lib erty was threatened, end that they would not fail in their duty at that post of honour where they had been placed by the choice of their fellow-citizens. He added that the li me for action had arrived, and that the Municipality was rea:ly. lelnvadiately all the National Guard was ca led to The session of the Reformed 2resbvterian Con arms, and nearly in the same moment 10,000 men in gregation, Gr k, under the ministry of' the Rev.

The first section of the projected railway in the Grand Duchy of Baden was opened between Mannheim and Heidelberg, on the 2Sth ult. The distance, about 18 English miles, was performed in 24 minutes, and the trial proved in every respect satisfactory. The Rhine has gained another bridge at Spires : an acquisition of no small interest both in a military point of view and with regard to its utility in facilitating the communication with France, which in the course of next year is to be established by post•coaches, running di rect from Carlsruhe to Paris, without going round by Strasburg. The new bridge, which, like that at Mann heim, rests upon pontoons, was opened with great cere mony by the Bavarian and Baden authorities, on the 25th August. The fortification of Rastadt is seriously spoken of, and will probably be hastened by the present conjuncture of circumstances. In addition to the recently opened railway line be tween Dresden and Magdeburg, by means of which the route from Hamburgh to Dresden can now be performed (with the help of the steamers) in three days, and that from Dresden to Hamburgh in two days, a new line' is talked of, which is to bring Magdeburg in direct com munication with the capital. The railway between Augsburg and Mucich is to be ripened on the Ist of October. With the Frankfort and Wiesbaden line the states of the Gerraan Commerei tl League have thu3 established, in the course of the pre sent leer, nearly two hundred miles of railroad commu nications. The lines between Aix la Chapelle and Co logne, which is to be continued to Maestricht on the one side, and to Dusseldorf and Eiberfeld upon the other, will come into play next year. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM TFIE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) The Shuttleworth Coalition-Treaty, of which the Times has arranged the preliminaries by way of a little delassement from such sterner labours as blowing the British navy into the air by methods known to the Times, and which Monsieur Perolies will perhaps make known to the world likewise when he finds it convenient the Shuttleworth Coalition-Treaty has shared the fate of the thousand mare's-nests, whose hatching has been announced at the same monster prolific Eccaleobion. Dr. Shuttleworth is a Tory ; ergo, 11Lnisters throw a sop to the Tories ; ergo, Minis ters and the Tories may be expected to coalesce. Such vas the somewhat less than Oxford log;c of Printing House-square. It might, perhaps, have been sufficient to answer that one swallow does not make a summer, nor one Bishop a coalition ; and that Tory alliance must indeed be cheap, if it is to be had on the terms an nounced by its morning oracle. From the Times one would at least have expected a becoming disdain of paltry bribes. But our Oxford correspondent made shorter work of its enthymeme. Dr. Shuttleworth is not a Tory ; ergo, there is no sop to the Tories ; ergo, there is nd coalition of Tories and Ministers. In the mean time, a somewhat curious reception was given by our Ultra-Tory Contemporaries to this Shut tleworth lying legend. There is a rivalry in pro digious birth? between Fleet-street and Bridge-street ; and the S.'andard, having a family of its own to pro vide for, would not cradle the misbegotten brat of its Morning Contemporary. Tales of coalition between Whigs and Tories were, according to the Standard, not less ridiculous than rumours of partnership between broken-down traders and the Barings or Rothschilds. They arc the sort of stories which parties of doubtful solvency would be glad to have credited. We must suppose then of the parties who invent such stories, that their credit is low ; and we give the Stand ard the choice of concluding that its colleagues put such stories about to do themselves good, or to do their oppo nents harm, in the public opinion. Either supposition is equally flattering to that party, for whom their scribes invent coalitions with their opponents in power. There are several other remarkable views enounced by the Standard, with regard to the impossibility of any Whig and Tory coalition. One of these is, that, amongst the great and manifold benefits of the Reform Bill (we thank the Standard for that word, and we sup pose Lord Grey's head is now safe from impeach ments of treason) the greatest is that the Government has been thrown open, and rescued from the red-tapists. The Standard thinks it a benefit of the Reform Bill that it is henceforth impossible for the " practical statesman" (sic in orig.) of its party to hold the Go vernment. It believes it would be of no use for those " practical statesmen " to coalesce with the Whigs, be cause they would draw no party after them ; it believes they never can lead the Tories (thanks to the Reform Bill), end all it asks of them is to retirefrom public life, as they are rather noxious than otherwise to their own, and can be of no service to any party. (From the Courier.) We have received from a private and well-informed source a positive assurance that means will be found to prevent a collision between France and the Great Powers of Europe. We are not told in what these means consist, but , the respectability of the party from whom our information is derived authorises our receiving his statement with a great deal of confidence. In fact it is easy to gather from the tone assumed by the organs of the French Cabinet, that we shall have a pacific denouement. The Courier Francais says that no British force will be landed in Eypt, the colleagues of Lord Palmerston hav ing set their laces against such a plan. On the other hand The Constitutionnel declares, with a brustering air, that France will interfere actively the momenta British force lands in Eypt or Syria, and only then. The Consti tutionnel, we need hardly add, is the confidential organ of M. Tillers. It follows that the French Cabinet will fight in one case, which case, it knows, will not occur. We again repeat, peace will be maintained, notwith standing the blundering of Lord Palmerston. If Eng land and France succeed in getting rid of the adminis trations with which they are both unfortunately saddled —a very likely event, by the way—it may reconcile us to the serious evils we have bud to endure since the' beginning of this unparalleled crisis. (From the Standard.) It is believed in Paris that whatever may be the ultimate intentions of the French—and that they are warlike cannot be doubted, when we look at the im mense preparations they are now making on every side—they will avoid war for the pre sent, in the expectation that the attempt on Syria will fail, and that Ibrahim may be able without assistance to repel the force that may be brought against him. In this event the French will have no pretext for interference. If the Four Powers allow themselves to be thus baffled, France will enjoy a bloodless triumph. If they resort to more violent measures, she may plead increased provocation for her interference. Oa the other hand, should Beyrout and Acre be captured, the Syrians excited to a successful re volt., and Mehemet yield to the force of circumstances, M. Thiers will in all probability hardly deem it wise to interpose. We have already insisted on the necessity of a coup de main which shall bring the matter to an im mediate issue one way or the other. The peddling mode of warfare attempted by Commodore Napier, which, if other than premature, can lead to no beneficial result, has excited greater irritation than the most energetic measures taken simultaneously with Admiral Stopford at the expiration of the term fixed by the convention, would have produced. But little good will be effected in Syria without a strong European force, since no real dependence can be placed on the feeble and undiseiplineal hordes with which we should have to co-operate ; and if, during the delay inseparable from half measures, Ibrahim should provoke the advance of Russian troops on Constantinople, it is firmly believed that France, regardless of dispa rity of force, will rush to the Pecha's assistance. Among the preparations recorded by the Paris journals of Saturday, the proposed fortification of Paris occupies a prominent place. The Temps affirms, con fidently, that a Royal ordonnance was signed on Friday for opening a credit of 100 millions of francs to the Minister of War, for the fortification of Paris upon the plan of Gen. Haxo, and that the works will be commenced immediately by 50,000 workmen. The following is the plan of the proposed fortifications. Tire capital is to be surrounded by a bastioned wall, with fosse, countersearp, and glints, and it is to include faubourgs exterieurs. This wall will be eleven leagues a round. There is to be a second line of fortifications a league or a league and a half distant, with from sixteen to eighteen forts on the heights. St. Denis and Cha renton are to be the place d'arnzes of the interior line of fortifications. An order is also, it is said, about to ap pear in the Moniteur, for forming a camp under the Tells of Paris, composed of 50,000 men. The new system of telegraphic communication is in course of organization, which, in commercial affairs especially, promises very important results. Its author is Mr. B. L. Watson, of Hull. Under this project es tablishments have already been !orrned, and others are forming, which, being fixed on some point near to great shipping stations, may anticipate by some hours, perhaps, the notices of arrivals ; enable vessels, where it is desired, not to enter the port, to pass on with new orders, to obtain pilots, a supply of provisions when wanted, assi.tance in case of distress, and other facili ties which will naturally occur to every man con nected with shipping, when he is told that this com munication may take place in fair weather, at a dis tance of fifteen or twenty miles from the shore. When a sufficient number of these stations is formed at proper intervals over the whole coast of England, for a small annual subscription, by which the charge of them is proposed to be defrayed, owners of vessels, consignees, underwriters, and mercantile associations will have daily reports sent up of the names of vessels that pass, and the information they bring. They may also transmit instructions to vessels which are expected to pass any of the stations, even to a change of the des tination when necessary, or put it in their power to carry to the port to which they are bound any change which may have occurred in the value of articles of commerce after leaving the port of departure. All this, and much more, is to be accomplished by a code of signals, said to be extremely simple, and of which the commanders of all vessels which are to con• nect themselves hereafter will have to acquire the proper knowledge, and to provide themselves with a s e t of fl cgs, by no means costly ones, which arc to be employed in the communication. Such establishments as those described have existed, it seems, for some years past at Liverpool and at Hull, and it is proposed that telegraphs shall now be erected on the following principal points and headlands round the coast : St. Abb's-head, Fiamborough, North Foreland, the en trances of the Bristol Channel and the Clyde, and on the south coast of Ireland. The Trinity Company have so far countenanced this undertaking as to grant per mission to erect telegraphs on the sites of their lands occupied by the lighthouses at Fiamborough Head and the North Foreland, where the proper stations have, in fact, been commenced. The reduction of postage, it is obvious, will prove an important element in the completion of these arrangements, which could hardly hove gone cn at ail under the heavy tax which the old rates imposed, and they will thus add another to the ❑u merous benefits derived, in spite even of impe r f ec t management, from that measure. A small subscription annually from each vessel which is to connect itself with 1 these arrangements, with the purchase of a set of flags, make up the whole expense to be incurred ; and the system is already in use to some extent, as it is said, but more particlarly in the United States.—Times. /Mr!

THE. UNITED STATES. The commercial accounts from New York by the Acadia steam-ship bring a further reduction in the price of United States Bank shares, which had fallen to 63 ; the nominal quotations exhibit a shade higher price, but our private advices inform us of several sales at the price we have quoted. The reduction of price is accounted for by the fact of the Bank having lately paid off a portion of its debt in advance to the Govern ment, and it is understood that Government has paid various clothing contractors to the amount of nearly one million and a half of dollars, in United States Bank Bills. Another reason for the reduction is to be found in a large number of traders being in New York and delphia from the Southern States, and the bulk of their money being in these bills, they are forced into the market in order to enable them to make their intended purchases. Various American papers state, that the Banks of Philadelphia will shortly resume specie pay ment. The United States Bank is included in the number. We believe an understanding exists, that if a resumption takes place at all, it must be a general one. In the cotton market no very material alteration has taken place since last advices. At Boston 1,000 dollars of the city of Boston Five per Cents. sold at auction at 994 per cent. on the 28th ultimo. _ From all the returns there would seem to be ao doubt of General Harrison's success for the Presidential chair. From Canada we learn that several acts of aggression and incendiarism have recently taken place on the fron tier. In one instance the perpetrators were detected, and on being taken before a magistrate of Champlain were pardoned. The Montreal papers are highly in dignant at this treatment, and call the attention of the Governor-General to the affair. Two barns filled with corn, the property of Loyalists (brothers), were wholly destroyed by fire, and the incendiaries, two well-known refugees, have escaped into the American border, and as yet have not been given up, The horrible Indian barbarities are greatly on the crease, and if possible the scenes that accompany them are more sickening than heretofore. MONEY MARKET. SUNDAYpA; G. 30, 6 P.M. (From the New York Mornin g Herald of Aug. 31.) The Stock Market continued heavy yesterday.

The state of the markets during the week has been less active than during the previous week. The dry goods auction sales have been fairly attended, but the prices obtained have been far from encouraging. The circumstar.ces of the currency and internal trade of the country are an inseparable bar to any great aug mentation at business beyond that attendant on the ability to buy on cash terms at low prices. The business doing is confined to a new class of dealers, who entered the markets on cash terms at low prices, slid are therefore able to sell on the same terms profitably. These buyers are picking out the choicest lots from the old stocks held by the importers. This may induce those im• porters to order fresh goods to supply that demand, but it cannot be to any great extent. The large majority of the old dealers cannot compete with the new class. The latter can sell profitably at prices which will ruin those that held over stocks last year. The whole supply of goods is, moreover, quite sufficient to supply all the healthy demand which is likely to spring up in the next siz months. COTTON.—This article has been, with a light stock, moderately active during the week at firm prices. In the southern ports the stocks have become very limited, and the markets begin to be influenced by the prospect of the growing crop, the yield of which will be in fluenced in a great deg:cc by the weather at this critical period of the year. CORRECTIONAL 'POLICE, PARIS. CRUELTY OF MASTERS TO THEIR APPRENTICEC (From the Gazette des Rib:mans.) A Hoatotious STottY.—A tew days ago, an exceed ingly pretty little bonne advanced with a timid air, and downcast eyes, to the bar of the Police Correctionelle, to prefer a complaint against Madame Duchatenest, her mistress, a meagre and parchment-cheeked virgin, advanced in years, for an assault committed with a pair of pincers. Mademoiselle Virginia (such was the bonne's name) narrated her martyrdom in the following terms :—" I was out of dace for some time, when one of my friends advised me to read the Petite Affiches, assuring me that I would there infallibly meet with somethingab, at length rai o llosieltd s dni u onrg i oge t t stfh e oat n . auotandidl A d ,tua f h t mn, e a r )ti aoe a abiul n m eli gaa., o d, snynti neat Bar t ept o eg i ei person required dece all the l i lip n seet v ril e ole s e s o e u t s r ns i ng t e qualities, as my testimoninla prove, I presented myself before this lady.

I accepted her proposal, and requested I might see the little one.' Madame replied that she would send for him, rang the bell, and adiressing the cook said, Bring up Love.'

One day, a cabriolet, which was going at a very rapid rate, came in contact with Love, who was too eagerly intent upon picking his bone to take any notice of the vehicle's approach, and the wheel passing over him killed him on the spot.

The President, notwithstanding all his efforts, could not succeed in extracting one word of explanation from the defendant, who continued, however, without inter mission, a most eloquent funeral oration on her lap-dog. During the delivery of this affecting discourse, the tribunal deliberated, and condemned Madame Ducha tenest to pay 150 f. damages to the injured Virginia. SURREY SESSIONS. The Sessions for the Eastern Division of the county of Surrey commenced yesterday, before R. Hedger, Esq., Chairman, and a full Bench of Magistrates. • There were forty cases in the calendar, but none of them were for crimes of any magnitude. A letter was read from the Under-Secretary for the Home Department, notifying the approval of the rules and regulations for the government of the gaols by the Marquis of Normanby, hat suggesting that the pro posed dietary table of the House of Correction was too low, and directing the Magistrates to give it their fur ther attention. William Terry was indicted for feloniouily stealing, at ChoViam, in the county of Surrey, on the 11th of August, several trusses of straw, the property of Vin. Goodchild and others. Mr. CIIAMEERS appeared for the prosecution, and having stated the case to the Jury, called Win. Goodehild, who deposed that he was a farmer and butcher at Chubham. He had some land and a barn at Borough-hill in the neighbourhood, from which much straw had been taken away. The prisoner never applied to him for the loan of any straw, nor hud he any authority from him to• take any from the barn. Cross-examined by Mr. WALLINGER--- He had a person named Aldridge in his service for about fifteen months. He discharged him lately because he and his fellow servants could not agree. There were two keys to open the barn. They ought to have been hung up at home. Re-examined—He used the straw at Chobham, and Aldridge used to bring it. Sometime in August he gave permission that the prisoner should have one of the keys, but he had no right to keep straw there or take any from it. H. Aldridge was then called. He had been discharged now about six weeks. About the time of the Ascot Races, the prisoner said people were always borrowing his cart, which stood in an open shed. Would he ask his master to allow him to put it in his barn, and then they could not see it ? Witness gave him the key, and he believed the cart was put in. In August he was passing past the prisoner's house when he called him and said he had got a paper to appear before the Bench about four trusses of straw, which he had taken from Mr. Goodchild's barn. He then asked him to go up and say that he had asked him (witness) to ask his master to lend him the straw till lie got some from Farmer Egles, when he would repay it. Witness re fused, because he could not swear to it. The prisoner said he would not be required to swear to it, and it would make it light for him. Witness bad never given him leave to take any straw. Cross-examined—Tne prisoner was the keeper of a beer-shop, and was in the habit of breaking horses. Witness never knew that Mr. Eyles was in the habit of upplying the prisoner with straw, and that he was out of it for some time. The prisoner told him so when he showed him the paper. The prisoner bled a horse for Mr. Goodchild, and it was after that that lie applied for leave to put his 'cart in the barn. He had often been sn his - company, but upon his oath he never spoke to him about borrowing any straw. Mary Roberts—Resided close to the barn . in sues tint/. She knew the prisoner, a:id saw him, on the Ilth iof August, open the barn, take down one truss of straw lock up the barn, and take the straw home. This was about seven o'clock in the morning. She did not speak to him, but sent word of the fact to Mr. Goodehild. James Roberts, the husband of the last witness, cor roborated her testimony. Witness asked him if the old man had sold him the straw. He said "No ; they chopped and chMiged about ; when be got some from Eyles, he would repay it ;" and that story he repeated becore the Magistrate._ The prosecutor said he had known the prisoner about five years. He had a wife and family, and had some times bought a joint of m ea t of hi m . Mr. WALLINGFIt then addressed the IJury for the prisoner, and contended that there was no felonious in tent in the taking, fur it was taken openly, and on being challenzed lie immediately stated his intention of replacing the straw whenever he was supplied by the farmer with whom he usually dealt. A. gentleman who had known the prisoner for 20 years gave him a good character for honesty during that period. The CHAIRMAN having summed up, the Jury after considerable deliberation, returned a verdict of—Not Guilty CROYDON PETTY SESSIONS. (Before Mr. D. R. WARRINGTON, Chairman, Mr. ADAMS, and Mr. CURRIE.) EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST A LADY 01 FORTUNE.—Mrs. L tvinia Pratt, the wife of a gentle man of fortune, residing at Woodmanstono, was charged upon an information under the Game Act, with having, on the 21st of August, unlawfully taken, with a certain engine, to wit, a trap, a partridge, she not being autho• rized so to do, for want of a game certificate, by which she had forfeited a sum not exceeding 51. When the case was called on, Mr. W. Drummond, the solicitor, said be attended on behalf of Mrs. Pratt, to answer the extraordinary charge that had been made against her of poaching. The lady was in attendance in her carriage, ready to wait upon the Magistrates if they wished it, but he begged to request the Magistrates not to put her to the inconvenience, but to allow him to appear for her. The Bench said that as Mr. Drummond was there as her solicitor, they did not think it necessary that the lady herself should be present. Alexander Chambers was then sworn. He deposed that he was game-keeper to George Read, Esq., of Woodman's House, and whose estate joined that of Mr. Pratt. On the 2.lst of August, he was out with his dogs, looking after the game, and as he was walking up a hedge-row which divided Mr. Pratt's land from his masters, he heard a peculiar sound made by a partridge, and he went in the direction from whence it proceeded, and saw a partridge caught in a trap. He watched to see who would take it out, and at length Mrs. Pratt came to the spot, and he saw her take the partridge out of the trap, and then set it again. He immediately said to her, " You have got a bird there," and she replied that she had, and asked him what business it was of his, and he told her that he only wanted to see who took the bird out of the trap. Mrs. Pratt then went away with the bird. The witness was then cross-examined by Mr. DRUM• MONO, and it appeared that the snare was set upon Mr. Pratt's land, and not upon Mr. Read's. He denied that he had put the bird into the snare himself, and also said that he was not at ull aware who set the trap, in the first instance. The trap was more calculated for rabbits than partridges. William Huck, another gamekeeper, was then called to prove that he did not put the bird into the snare. Mr. Drummond then addressed the Bench, and said he should submit that the evidence did not support the information, inasmuch as there was no proof that Mrs. Pratt had set the snare in the first instance. The pro ceeding arose out of some disagreement between the gentlemen upon the subject of the game, but he hoped the Bench would consider the improbability of a lady becoming poacher, and setting snares for game. The CHAIRMAN said that ladies had been known to follow hounds before now.—(A laugh.) Mr. Drummond said that such conduct was, how ever, very rare, and it ought not to be made to tell against Mrs. Pratt. He added that he should be able to show by the evidence of Mr. Pratt, that he himself ordered the snare to be set for the rabbits, which com mitted great injury to his garden. The BENCH said they did not think they could allow Mr. Pratt to give evidence, as he was not a competent witness on behelf of his wife. Mr. Drummond said be was aware of this difficulty, and therefore he had no other alternative than to leave the case in the hands of the Bench, reminding them only of its peculiar circumstances, and that there were many more delicate means to resort to, between gen tlemen, to settle any differences, than to drag a lady before a Bench of Magistrates upon a charge of poaching. The BENCH then consulted for a short time, when The CII4IRMAN said that the Magistrates were of opinion that the case was one that ought not to have been brought before them ; but as the offence under the Act of Parliament had been proved by the evidence, they were bound to convict Mrs. Pratt, and they should inflict upon her a fine of one penny, and the costs. It is understood that the Stockton and Hartle pool Railway will be ready for opening early in October. A Correspondent of tl Semaphore de Marseilles states that M. Jourdain had arrived in Tunis. This youe architect was sent out by Loui.; Phillippe, to erect on the highest point of the hill of Carthage, at the spot which tra dition points out as having been the tomb of St. Louis, a monument to the memory of that martyr-king, the cost of which is to be defrayed out of the Civil List. AFFECTING CATASTROPHE.—An occurrence of a most melancholy and affecting character took place on Tuesday last, off the coast between North Berwick and Dunbar. The boat Sun, of Buckhafen, Fifeshire, em ployed in the herring-fishing on this coast, was bearing down under a smart breeze for Dunbar harbour, with a fa ther and son on board, naraed Thomson. When not far fron► the Bass, the younger Thomson, while employed in adjusting the sheet in order to take a tack, was, by a sudden concussion of the sail, pitched overboard. His father, in the impulse of parental affection, instantly sprung to his assistance ; but, alas I only to share his unfathomed grave. Father and son sank like lead among the waters, disapp ear _ ing for ever locked in each other's arms.—,Berwick Adver. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A poor author named John Darwin, whose condition was very much pitied, was brought before Alderman Gibbs, who sat for the Lord Mayor, charged with having broken a gas lamp in Lombard-street. The policeman stated that as he was on duty at half past two o'clock on Sunday morning in King William street, the defendant approached him, and requested to be taken into custody. Witness refused to comply with so strange a request, and the defendant then flung a stone at the gas-lamp in Lombard -street, and smashed it. To comply with the request then became a duty, and the defendant was taken to the Compter, where he received the blessings of food and a bed, to Which it was evident he had not for some time been accustomed. Alderman GIBB3—Was he sober? Policeman— Quite sober. He did not appear as if .he had taken anything at all. Alderman Gress (to the defendant)—How can yon account for this piece of mischief ? The Defrmdant said that the statement of the policeman was perfectly correct. He (the defendant) had broken the lamp exactly as the man had described, and he had no inten tion of remonstrating against the infliction of the full measure of punishment for the offence. But he begged to be allowed to inform the Alderman that his misfor tunes bad so distracted his mind, as to leave him at the time without the power of reasoning► upon the impro priety of the act. Alderman GIBES observed that idle and desperate fellows had sometimes, atter wearying the parochial authorities by their importunities fur the supply of the means of procuring drink, resorted to such a mode of attracting notice. He should never countenance any trick of the kind. The defendant was perfectly aware that his motives were liable to be misconstrued, but he would take the liberty of giving a slight outline of the necessities against wl►ich he had to contend, and which would prove that he was not chargeable with idleness, however culpable the offence was of which he was accused, and to which he pleaded guilty. He had been for a considerable time deriving a ♦ery precarious support from. unwea ried, in fact, intense, application as an author. He had borne the disappointments to which many men who wrote for their bread were subjected with, he hoped the ordi nary degree of resignation, for it had been his hard lot to pass two days without taking a mouthful of food, and three nights without stretching his limbs upon a bed, al though his pen was scarcely ever out of his hand. These privations arose, in some instances from the want of prin ciple in those for whom he laboured, and in others from the want of the means of remunerating him. For a length of time he had struggled in the hope that industry would prove more than a match for ill-luck, and he sat down to a task of more than usual severity last week, with the certainty that on Saturday evening he should receive an instalment. He was, however, again fated to disappointment. Hungry and wretched, and in despair, he wandered about the streets, and it occurred to him that the policeman might take him into custody at his request, and give him a temporary ,respite, but finding that he could get nothing by that alternative, he com mitted the unworthy act, for which he did not presume to solicit pardon. Alderman GIBBS—Upon what parish have you a claim ? Defendant—l was born in Staffordshire, and have, I believe, a claim there. I have been in the ser vice of the Queen of Portugal, and have a claim upon that Government, and I received 21. from her Majesty's agent, 1/. of which I laid out in purchasing the clothes you see upon me, and the other in paying for the neces saries of life. Alderman Giszs—Have you been connected with the newspaper press of London ? Defendant—Not at all. My chief employment has been in periodical lite rature ; and I can refer your Lordship to respectable persons who will willingly testify as to my powers of ap plication, my ceaseless endeavours to be employed, and the afflicting contingencies to which I have been tied in my effortsto provide for the day that was passing over me. Alderman GIBBS—WeiI, you can write to any per sons who you think will come here to speak about you. I regret very much to see a person with such capabili ties reduced to so deplorable a condition without having brought himself to it by misconduct of his own. But surely there are ways of obtaining temporary relief without compelling a Magistrate to mix the disgrace of punishment with the grant of it. The defendant should be taken care of in the Compter until Wednesday, when he shoal:I be again brought up, and those who knew him might appear to confirm his statement, and so far palliate the offence he had committed. The poor author, whose manner was characterised by remarkable humility, buts most grateful for the refuge thus afforded him, and said that he would at once write to a gentleman who knew that he was not an impostor, and would, no doubt, have the humanity to attend at the next investigation. A young man on crutches, named George Godfrey, was charged with having stolen three half-quartern loaves out of the basket of a journeyman baker. The baker, it appeared, had left his basket, which contained a number of loaves, in one part of the street, in a very poor and populous neighbourhood, while he went to another to serve some customers ; and the prisoner whipped out three half-quartern loaves, slipped them under his coat, and was hobbling away, when the baker, who, on returning to his basket missed the: bread, caught him, and charged him with the robbery. Alderman Glens asked the prisoner how it happened that one loaf did not satigfy him ? The prisoner said that he had just purchased the loaves in Bishopsgate street . Alderman Grass—What, the whole three! You didn't mean to eat them all in one day ? The priso ner—No, Sir ; but I am obliged to eat nothing but bread, because I have a bad asthma on tay lungs, and the doctors say that meat won't do far me. Alderman GIBBS—But why buy so much ? The prisoner —To have it stale.—(A laugh.) As I am allowed to eat nothing but bread, I always lay up a lot of it. ALDERMAN-But you must not lay it up in this way. Now, I don't think that bread is the best remedy for an asthma. We'd try a little of the medicine of Bride well. The prisoner—That won't cure it. Alterman Gtuus—lt may cure the disease of dis honesty ; at all events, it will caution others. Committed for a month. INSUBORDINATION IN THE ROYAL NAVAL ASYLUM. For several days past a spirit of insubDrdinatioa hes manifested itself amongst. the boys of this institution, and although there has not been any decided outbreak on the part of the boys in the upper school, they evi dently sympathise with those of the lower school, in which there are 400 sons of British tars clothed, fed, and educated, principally for the naval service. On Friday last four of these youngsters scaled the wall into the Park, and proceeded on their way to Portsmouth as far as Kingston-upon-Thames, where they were apprehended by the police and brought hack in a chaise to Greenwich on Saturday morning, and ar rived in the asylum-yard at the time the boys were re turning from breakfast. The policeman had no sooner delivered them over to the mate, than they made their escape into the midst of their comrades, and were soon lost sight of. The boys generally commenced pelting the officer with a volley of stones, and the four refrac tory urchins again made their escape over the walls. Several others, in the course of the day, followed their example, and deserted the asylum. On Sunday morning, immediately after breakfast, up wards of forty scaled the walls, and made their way for Shooters-hill, where a numb.r,r of them provided them selves with bread, milk, and apples, expressing a deter mination to proceed to Chatham and go on board ship rather than remain in the Asylum and be ill used, as they said they had recently been. Within the last three days upwards of seventy hare deserted the Asylum, and at sunset last evening there were upwards of forty ab sentees. Those who have been re-captured are placed in charge of the main guard of the Royal Hospital until an investigation of the circum stances takes place. The mutineers generally com plain that they have not a sufficient quantity of food, and that which they do get being of a bad quality, that they are severely punished f:ur the slightest offences, and that the drills and gymnastic exercises have recently been more strict than usual, and further, that instead of being allowed to go out once a fortnight, they have only permission about twice in three months, and their friends have only leave to visit them for about two hours on the first Wednesday in the month. There are 500 boys in the upper school, sons of naval officers. Lord Minto intimated at the last inspection, that it was the intention of the Board of Admiralty to appoint a greater number of them to the naval and packet services, as well as to the engineer department in steam ships of war, than heretofore had taken place. A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, of Saturday week, states, that lately " a friend of his travelled in one of the ' stand-up' carriages on the Man chester and Leeds Railway, in company with tiro respect able, well drcised females, several mechanics, and two Pigs." Our contemporary attempts to justify this ar rangement, on the ground that " if people will travel in the leweA class of carriages, they have no right to be par_ ocularly squeamish as to their fellow-travellers;" brit surely a decent respect ought to be paid to the feelings of the poorer class of passengers, of whom the majority of travellers on the Manchester and Leeds line consists.— Railway Times. HOWDEN GREAT HORSE FAlR.—Great pre parations are making by the innkeepers and others for the approaching fair, it being confidently anticipsted . that the attendance of foreigners, dealers, farmers, graziers, Ste., will he very numerous. This fair is probably one of the most ancient chartered horse fairs in England. In the year 1200, King . John granted to Bishop Philip a license to hold an annual horse fair at Howden, which is held on September 25th, and seven following days. and is one of the most celebrated horse fairs in England, a London defier obierving last year there were more horses to be seen at Howden fair than any other fair its the world.— Doncaster Gazette.
