Fog in the morning. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 14, 1857. Great excitement prevails in the Money Market. This is but natural, considering the sudden rise of no less than 1i in the minimum rate of dis count, and the unequivocal proof thereby afforded of the sense entertained by the Directors of the Bank of England respecting the magnitude of the emergency. We are told by the bullionist organ that " the fluctuations in the funds have again been most rapid and extensive." There appears to be a general impression that further restrictive measures must be adopted, and that it will soon be exceedingly difficult, if not impos sible, to convert even first-class securities into bank-notes. Every person is there fore endeavouring to make timely provision for his own exigencies, and the demand thereby occasioned is alone sufficient t) produce the dreaded result. It was so in October, 1847, and it will be so before the close of the present month unless the Government—as in the former in stance, authorise the suspension of the enactment=, which, if they have not produced, have at all events, materially aggravated the panic, and the consequent danger. that sooner or later, there must be relaxation is certain. But when is this relaxation to take plaCe ? and what should be its nature and extent These are interesting and impor tant questions, on which the welfare and hap piness of the industrial community greatly de pend. They should consequently receive the prompt and attentive consideration to which they are so pre-eminently entitled. Not a day should be lost' by the Government in convening Parliament, in order that a constitutional and a lequate remedy should be supplied, and that the riation should be saved from the serious loss and heouvenience that must other wiNe be sustained. Feieu that will scarcely be sufficient at the present crisis. There is a deplorable want of currency— ef a circulatitg medium in which the people can repose implicit confidence, and which will readily pass from hand to hand in all tb e doinegic trans actions of every day life. An order in Council, or a Nnisterial letter, is urgently required, which would lAt once relieve the existing apprehensions and 1144 rate the large amount of notes and specie now tOurdect for future use. LOA' OVERSTONE, in his evidence before the lords' Committee in 1848, expressed an opinion "that a relaxAtion ought only to take place in the lad eztremity, and when the inconvenience arising fiem Vie pressure had produced all its legitimate effects in rectifying the exchanges, wad the danger Ikf 9eneral confusion had become imminent." This is a cold-blooded and heartless doctrine. The saving clause is only intended for the benefit of the Bank and of the great capitalists. Crush without hesitation all struggling parties those grii) might by reasonable assistance be enabled to Alain tain their position and to pay every legitimate demand. They are however to be crushed for the benefit of the moneyocracy. But the moment that the peril extends to Millionaires, when the danger of general confusion becomes imminent, then, but not sooner, is there to be Government interference. It is a presumptuous notion, that those who have excited the storm can arrest it at the exact moment they think desirable, even say to the advancing torrent, " thus far shalt thou go and no further !" They may however reckon without their host, and provoke a terrible retribu tion. We therefore call for immediate action, otherwise the Tritons may be involved in one com mon destruction with the minnows, the Levia thans swept away in the same flood with the Am 3)l fry, that they were destroying. Mr. HAMER STANSPELD, the consistent, ener getic, and indefatigable monetary reformer, to whose admirable views we have so frequently directed public attention, has for warded a communication, which will be found in another part of our impression, and to which we earnestly direct public attention. If there is to be any interference—and we do not see how it can be avoided—it would be well, to make it effectual, to adopt a plan that might be regarded as a permanent adjustment of the cur rency, so as to avoid at all times and under all circumstances the evils of continuous and exhausting drains of gold. We should obtain temporary relief from all additional issue of notes according to the present system ; but to render it permanent and immediate these notes should be of the smaller denominations, which would liberate an equal amount of sove reigns, and render them available for the general benefit, not merely.of England, but of other na tions. It is the plan suggested ten years since by Mr. JAMES WILSON, and against which no reason able argument can be urged. It would give in • stant relief to the country. The following draft of a petition has been prepared by Mr. STANSPELD, and it is well worthy of being adopted by every currency reformer, who should adopt measures to have it extensively signed in his immediate neigh bourhood. It is as follows ‘‘ TO TEES QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " We, the undersigned bankers, merchants, and other liege subjects of the realm, considering that the present foreign drain of gold most seriously deranges the domestic currency, thereby paralysing trade, throwing the indus trious classes out of employment, depreciating property, and increasing unnecessarily the burdens of the war, most humbly pray that your Majesty will be graciously pleased, with a view to counteract these evils, by Order in Council, to empower the Bank of England, until the sense of Par liament can be taken, to issue one pound notes to serve as substitutes for sovereigns whenever the Bank rate of dis count shall exceed five per cent., on depositing Govern ment Stocks for two-thirds and gold for the remaining one third of the amount of such issues as a guarantee for the convertibility of the notes, and on paying interest at the rate of four per cent. to the Exchequer for the benefit of the State, on the two-thirds of which they would have the beneficial use, or on such other terms as to your Majesty shall seem fit. —And your petitioners will ever pray, la." After Parliament has assembled it might be provided that the Exchequer bills, authorised for the public service, should be issued in small deno minations of 11., 21., or 31., and that they should, as was formerly the case, be receivable in pay ment of duties and taxes, and every public liabi lity. Thus would a circulating medium be ob tained, "inconvertible," but perfectly unobjection able. We need only say in addition, "If 'twere done well, 'twere well it were done quickly." In our impression of yesterday we published the telegram which had just been received at the East India House from Mr. G. F. EDMONBTONE, Secretary to the Government of India. It is in many respects a clear and satisfactory doclarnen+, ' contrasting strongly with the Government tele grams. There is, however, an extraordinary and what we cannot help regarding as a significant reticence. Sir COLIN CAMPBELL, the new Commander-in-Chief, is not once mentioned. The slightest allusion is not made to his plans or intentions—to the orders he may have given, or what he means to do I whether he is about to join the troops before Delhi or elsewhere in the field, or to issue his orders from head-quarters at a safe distance from the scene of action—a course that would not be very agreeable to the gallant Highlander. This seems to confirm, to a certain extent, the rumours respecting differences between the Commander-in- Chief and the Governor-General and his Council. Had it been otherwise the name of Sir COLIN CAMPBELL would not have been passed over suit silentio. There was intelligence from the Garrison at Lucknow to the 2d September. The men were at that time in good spirits, and sufficiently pro vided with food. They bad previously repulsed a determined assault, and disabled the only heavy guns belonging to the assailants. They had been told to hold out to the last eiLtremity, and it was confidently anticipated that they would be re leased about the middle of September. This is indeed glad tidings, which will give ease to many afflicted hearts, of those who had friends or rela tives amongst the defenders of the position, or the fugitives who sought refuge aLd protection at their hands. As we have already explained, it was famine only that was to be apprehended. With sufficient food and ammunition they could hold their own against any force which the rebels could bring against them. The gallant FlivELocK was still recruiting the exhausted energies of his troops, at Cawnpore, exhausted from a succession of vic tories over tenfold their numbers. The 90th Regiment, and about half the Fusiliers, and a 9-pounder battery, in all 1,270 men, were at Allahabad on the 3d or 4th. Six hundred in - - fantry, with the battery, were at cnce pushed on, and HAVELOCK would be prepared fur immediate action when the remainder arrived under Sir JAMES OUTRAN, which was expected to be on the 11th or 12th September, so that we may hope t hear by the next mail that Llicknow has been preserved. Bundlecund chiefs also continue to behave well ; likewise the NIZAM's Government and the Raj pootam native chiefs. ,On the whole the tidings, although chiefly a repetition of what we had already heard,:are very gratifying ; and but for the mysterious silence respecting Sir COLIN CAMPBELL, the entire docu ment would be exceedingly satisfactory. A short Lime must, however, dispel our doubts under that head, and enable us to judge more fully as to the real state of affairs at head-quarters between Lord CANNING, who has not, and the Gallant General who so entirely possesses, the confidence of the English people. Let Lord CANNING be recalled at once. A popular interlude has recently received a frightful pendant in this horrible tragedy of The Woman with the Carpet Bag. The mysterious obscurity still enveloping the whole of this appalling transaction is suggestive, we conceive, upon the instant, of one or two very serious reflections. It is suggestive in tho first place, of the immediate necessity of offering with out further delay a reward of One or Two Hun dred Guineas to any one who will throw light upon the atrocity. It is suggestive, in the next place, of the various courses obviously open al ready to the agents of the Police with a view to the prosecution of a searching and systematic in vestigation. Acting in obedience to the dictates of mere corn- ' mon-sense, we presume that the Authorities have long since adventured upon the majority of these courses without waiting to have them pointed out by the sagacity of observers purely and avowedly unprofessional. The Detectives, we may rest satisfied, seldom, if ever, require extraneous promptings. Their cunning is a sort of instinct—and that instinct of theirs is uncon sciously but unerringly regulated by experience. Nevertheless—recognizing all this, conscious of all this, we cannot but think that advantage may (just by the faintest possibility) be derived from an enumeration of the plans Common Sense pre sumes to have been already adopted with a view to the rapid carrying out of this appalling investigation. As to the Identification of the Victim—lt is manifest at once that a very large "circle" might be rapidly contracted to a mere " point," by taking, for instance, a file of the Times fur the last three or four months, and instituting, upon a systema tic plan, a regular series of inquiries in regard to certain addresses given in the second column of the first page of advertisements upon the broad sheet of our contemporary. Advertisers for the missing person should be communicated with di rectly and personally, and whenever the missing individual proved to be a male adult, a minute description ought to be obtained of his age, character, and appearance. Whenever these chanced to tally with the presumed victim, it being then clearly understjod, when the person was last seen, where, by whom, and under what circumstances. Numerous other sources of information of a like kind, open to view of course elsewhere : but this one—as a source patent to the whole world—might be specified as affording the most vivid and instantaneous The temptation of " Rewards," again, applied comprehensively, as already suggested to the whole crime, might, in regard to some of its details, be not injudiciously divided and sub divided. For example : A Hundred Guineas or so being held out as a bribe to any inform ant giving a clue to the detection of the murderers—a few pounds might be proferred to whomsover might throw light upon the purchase of that loathsome carpet-bag. The cabman, again, might surely be discovered through the medium of the same golden agency wisely employed by the wizards of Scotland-yard. The cabman or man who conveyed that hideous freight to the neighbourhood of Waterloo Bridge, under the charge of that dreadful elderly woman—short and stout—with the grey hair, and the gruff voice, who did the tall-taker out of a halfpenny when taking those awful mutilated remains in a ,carpet-bag, at midnight, to lower them over the parapet into the river, then run. ning down swiftly with a strong ebb-tide for the sea, under the starlight ! Darkness then en veloped the crime—darkness still envelopes it ; but that darkness we do believe may yet be dis sipated. We cannot believe that the unknown miscreants can escape detection, as was the case most miserably some years ago with the destroyers of Eliza Grim wood. With all these clues lying about, we cannot believe it, —clues waiting only to be followed up with sagacity—the cab ; thS carpet-bag ; the female ruffian in the black silk mantle and the drab satin bonnet ; her burly male companion ; the brown paper parcel yet undiscovered—supposed to have contained the missing head, hands, ant feet of the - Victim, though it may yet possibly have contained nothing more than additional clothes, together with the implements of destruc tion. 110 W TO MITIGATE THE ACTION OP 1 . HE INDIAN MUTINY AND TILE AMERICAN FINANCIAL PANIC ON OOR MON EY MARKET. TO THE EDITOR OF THIS SUN. SlR,—Allow me to call your attention to a remedy for the many evils arising from drair. of gold, suggested in the inclosed form of a petition, and to appeal to you to exert your powerful influence at this critical period t 3 obtain by an Order in Council such an amelioration of our restrictive Monetary System as will avert some of the baneful effects of the Act of 1844. The principles of that Act are now under Parliamentary consideration, and the evidence already published is overwhelmingly condemnatory of its restrictions. Still, as the late Bank Committee reported the evidence to be incomplete and recommended the reappointment of a Committee next session, it is obvious that no Legislative action can take place upon their report until the year 1859. In the mean time the interest of all other classes will continue to be sacrificed under the operation of the Act of 1844 to the money class---for as Mr. Chapman (of the firm of Overend, Gurney, and Co.), stated in his evidence before the committee, capitalists do avail themselves at these crises of the power their c-)mmand of notes gives them to reduce the Bank Re s2rve of gold, to make enormous profits out of the ruin of the people who fall victims to them. This plan is suggested not for a mere temporary relief, but with a view of establishing permanently a mode of adjusting our currency so as to avoid at all tones the evils of drains of gold. By adopting it, the few millions of gold abstracted for India and America may be replaced without any disturbance of our money market, and the reflux which in the cqurse of time must take plane, as gold like water finds its level, will cause the sovereigns to find their way again into the service of the retail trade, as it would no longer suit the Bank to pay 4 per cent. for the use of the notes when its rate of discount had fallen below 5 per cent, from the influx of gold.—l am, air, your obedt. servant, 11A4E11, STANSFELD. The Grange, Burley, Ailey, Oct, 12, 1557. Beyond all this—as from the very outset it has been perfectly obvious that the crime was in all probability perpetrated in one of those foul dens known as houses of ill-fame--we presume that the police have all this while (ever since the first discovery of the carpet-bag) had their eyes fixed upon those villainous haunts with unwiuk ing vigilance. Every den of this description in the metropolis is known to the police notoriously. Why not take means, under the terrible circum stances of this case, for not merely watching them, but for subjecting each in turn to the most minute and searching examination I The cha racter of this nameless grey-headed woman is sufficiently obvious : it is that manifestly of the Mother Mandrake of Farquhar. Since the above was in type a reward has bean offered—two hundred pounds for the appreheu :i•n of the murderer, and one hundred pounds for the supposed woman with the carpet-bag. HAYMARKET THEATRE?. The revival of the " Love Chase" last night afforded Miss Amy Sedgwick an opportunity of presenting her self to the London public in a new character totally different from that in which she first courted metropoli tan applause. As Neighbour Constance she more than fulfilled the promise implied by her performance of Pauline, gaily flinging oft those fetters that seemed to check her in. her more serious impersonation, and allowing full scope to a fund of native spirit and vivacity the existence of which was rather to be guessed than demonstrated before the exhibition of last night. If the laugh with which she entered upon the stage had not the musical ring of Mrs. Nisbett, it was hearty, free, and uncontrolled, and was , moreover, an earnest f the vigour with which she delineated throughout the most vigorous of stage beauties. Through the whole repre sentation there was nothing done by halves. She was thoroughly jocund, thoroughly vexed as occasion served, laughed with all her might and cried with all her might ; in short, was just the person to terrify a father into getting rid of her, and frightening a lover into making her his partner 'or life. That Miss Sedgwick was a completely discliplined artist was shown by her Pauline. The question whether there was genuine spirit and feel ing at the foundation of the training is now answered in the affirmative. Although Miss Sedgwick was the moat intereatinv, object of the evening, the revival must not be clarii.e with those huddled -up exhibitions that frequently take place for the sake of a single "star," the general oast showing a determination to produce as efficient a repre sentation of the lively com e dy as the state of histrionic art will allow. Mrs. Marston, an excellent actress, little known at the West-end, had apparently been engaged for the express purpose of playing the Widow Green, and depicted that buxom dame with a degree of unction and evergreen luxuriousness that has not been seen since the days of the late inimitable Mrs. Glover, and she had a suitable lover in the hearty, self-satisfied Sir William Fondlove, personated by Mr. Chippendale. The responsibilities of Wildrake were well met by Mr. Howe, who with a great 'deal of humour rendered espe cially prominent the sulky surprise consequent on the abortive attempts of the would-be town gallant to dazzle the vivacious and clear-sighted Constance. The stout young squire felt that he'had done his best to be agree able, and that it was all of no avail ; so he had a perfect right to be as sulky arid stupid as he pleased. The serious interest, which is the weakest in the piece, was sustained by 'Mr. W. Farien and Miss Carciliue White, who did their beat with the unthankful characters' of Master Willer and Lydia: The audience, which was very numerous, evinced the highest satisfaction at the comedy, which, performed as it was, came out with exceeding freshness. A call for everybody concerned, and a spedial bouquet for Miss Sedgwick, were the final signs of approval.

It has had four Government trials at Woolwich, and each was fearful y satisfactory. Nothing can survive the fire it kindles, and no amount of water, it was proved, can pet them out. Delhi could not stand a day against it, neither could Sebastopol. It was known then, but nevetthele,e not adopted. There were routine, red tape, and circum locution offices in its way.

The fex-hnnting world has lost one of its principal masters in Earl Fitzwilliam, whese stud and kennel have had no superior fur many years past. The former was full of the blood of Amadie, Don Quixote, and Cervantes; and for a mare by the last-named horse his lordship refused 1,000 guineas in the hunting-field. The earl latterly went very seldom into hie kennel, and, in fact, during his twenty-four seasons as master, he has left everything t o his celebrated huntsman, Tom Sebright, who is just entering on his thirty-ixth season at Milton, and is whipped into by a son of George Carter, and a grandson of Dick Christian. It is rumoured that Milton and the Northamptonshire pro perty are left to the Hon. George Fitzwilliam, who wil', no doubt, in that case become the master of the hounds. THE EAST INDIA liousE.--LA statement just circu lated that the India-house are in want of more money, and that the Bank have notified to the Government their inability to furnish it, is wholly erroneous. The Lelia Company at this moment would be willing to lend money, the greater part of the recent credit opened at the Bank being unemployed. For future wants they still hold a large reserve of stock and Exchequer-bilk, and there is no reason to doubt that the expectation held out of their financial position being such as to enable them to provide for all wants until the meeting of Parliament will be fully realized. Of course, if the 1 teal Government were to announce the necessity of a large sum of specie being sent to Calcutta, an emergency wceld then be presented which would call for special action ; but it is believed that no such intimation has yet been received, and that in the absence of exceptional circumstances of this kind there wid be nothing to disturb the calculations originally made.--Times. COLLIERY EXPLOSION NICE BLAdiCBURN.—CO:inIIT TAL OF THE UNDERLOOKER.—An incitieat was held on Monday at Oewaldtwi3tle, near Blackburn, on the bodies of two boys who were killed by an explosion of fire damp, which took place on Thursday in a pit of one of illesFrs.

The _grew Zeitung says that since yesterday the physicians entertain hopes of a re-establishment of the royal health, though the danger is net yet entirely passed. The latest intelligence of the health of the King of Prussia, received by telegraph, is as fol lows : "BERLIN, OCT. 13. " The King had sleep at intervals during the day ; the sleep was short, but tranquil. The attacks of congestion of the brain have not re occurred this morning." The subjoined is from Le Nerd of yesterday:— COLOGNE, MONDAY, 2 p.m. A slight amelioration took place yesterday in the King's state, but it is not of a nature to en courage hopes of his recovery. According to the opinion of his physicians, his Majesty may linger for some time, but the fatal issue of the attack does not, unhappily, appear to them doubtful. Another despatch says : The received opinion among our medical men is that his Majesty is suffering under incipient softening of the brain, and that the fatal issue of the attack i 3 certain, though it is difficult to tBl how long the physicians may support life. It is reported that tho Council of Ministers, foreseeing this, have already been discussing mat ters that will be contingent on a regency. A letter from Berlin, of the 9th, in the Patrie, gives some account of tho origin of the present illness of the King : His Majesty, who was to have accompanied the Em peror of Russia in his journey to Stuttgart, left Pots dam with him, accompanied by several princes of the royal family. During the journey from Potsdam to Berlin the Emperor and two of the princes, in order to pass the time, smoked, according to Russian custom, some very strong tobacco, the narcotic qualities of which appear to have. produced a very great effect on the King. His Majesty fell asleep, and to the great astonishment of his travelling companions did not awake when the train stopped at the station at Berlin. M. SoLesolein, the first physician to the king was immediately sent for, and he declared that his Majesty could. not continue his journey. On being -conveyed back to Potsdam the King remained for 24 'hours in a heavylethargic sleep. Bleeding was resorted, to, but -it produced but little effect. Without aban doning the hope that his Majesty's life may be saved, the public, and particularly the persons who are more directly inter. fitted, occupy themselves beforehand with the eventuality of a change in the occupant of the throne. As the King has no children, his brother, ac cording to the constitution, is the heir presumptive to the throne. The Prince of Prussia is the same who went to compliment the Emperor Napoleon during his passage lately through,the Prussian territory. The Prince of Prussia, who married the Princess Augusta of Saxe-Weimar, is sixty years of age, lie has two chil dren, the elder of whom, Prince Frederick William, has just been affianced to the Princess Victoria of England, and the other, the Princess Louisa, was last year mar ried to the Grand Duke of Baden. The following letter from Berlin, in the Ether fell Gazette, distinctly contradicts the reported visit of the Emperor Napoleon 111. to that capital : —" According to the most authentic information, we can state positively that the Court of Berlin has not received any intimation of the visit of the Emperor Napoleon, nor was any mention of such an event made either in the conversation between the Emperor and the Prince of Prussia, or in the autograph letter brought from the Emperor to the King by Prince Murat." A letter from Vienna , in the Bourse Gazette o f Berlin, says The conference 'whi c h h as lately taken place at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs be tween the Baron de Bourqueney and Count Werner had for object the Sardinian question, and we learn that the resumption of diplomatic rela tions between the courts of Turin and Vienna may be shortly exi,ected." The following very singular statement appears i n a letter from Cmstantiziople of the 3d, ad dressed to the Trieste Gazette :—" The English and Austrian ambassadors have thought proper to demand from the Turkish Government the annulment of the second elections in the Prin cipalities, in the same manner that the former ones had been annulled. This proceeding has produced a considerable sensation, although it has not yet been officially made known." 'a;4l PRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The Emperor yesterdty recAved the letter by which the Emperor of Austria announced to his Ma jesty the marriage of the Archduke Ferdinand, his brother, to the Princess Charlotte of Belgium ; also the letter which accredited the Duke de Rivas as ambassador extraordinary and ple nipotentiary of the Duchess Regent of Parma ; the reply of the Grand Duke of Tuscany to the letters of recall of the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, who lately filled the post of French Minister at Florence, and the reply of the Elector of He-se to the letters of recall of M. de Montherot, lately envoy extraordinary at Cassel. All the French diplomatic agents who are at present on leave of absence have been ordered to return to their posts by the end of the present month. The council-general of the Rink of France, at iti sitting of yesterday, decided that from to-day (Tuesday) the - two of discount on commercial bills, and the intereit on advances on public securities, shall be raised to 01- per cent.

On the 26th it reached Anni, where there are some remarkable ruins of early Christianity. On the 30th it ar rived at Hadjabayram, at the junction of the Arpa chay and Araxes, and had to remain there four days to settle a disputed point. On the 10th July the commission reached Imam-Aziz-Sinei. On the 11th it went to the Lake of Balouk Gueul, which it ordered to be ceded entirely to Turkey though part of it was claimed by Russia. Following the rivers which take their source in this lake, the commission descended towards the valley of Baya zid, and reached Mousson, where it visited the en virons to examine the military road which is crossed by the frontier. On this road it ordered a column to be erected to indicate the frontier. At Koudjak Guetchit, where the commission next ar rived, the remains of a magnificent canal, cut, by the old Kings of Armenia, were found. At Arsab, which it reached on the 21st, it found some abandoned huts —the Kurdes to whom they belonged having, as usual in the summer, gone to the mountains with their flocks ; these people are called Yezidi, and adore the Genius of Fvil. Passing by the foot of Mount Ararat and the Lake of Tchenguel, the commission reached Tchenguel, where a battle was, in the war of 1828, fought between the Turks and Russians, and where the bones of the slain are still lying; it caused a column to be erected there. On the 23d it reached Amarat, on the Araxes, and on the 29th went to Etchmiazin. On the 30th it reached Etivan, and on the 3d August Tiflis. At the latter place, Prince Bariatinski, governor-general of Georgia, entertained the commission. On the 9th the commission left Tiflis, and on the 11th reached Gumari. Thence it proceeded to follow the northern frontier by Alkalkalaki, Havet, Akiska, Bastoma, Bagdad (in Imeritia), angisghaare, Kourilah, Ver sik, and it then reached Usurguete, in the Gouriel. In this latter tewn the commission spent some days in comparing mass, and it decided that the river Tar olok should be the limit between the two States. On the 17th the Russian members of the commis sion left for Kutais. The English, French, and [Ottoman members proceeded by Chekvetil (Saint Nicholas) to Tchwrukson, where, on the 21st and 93d, they embarked for Constantinople. The re sult of the labours of the commission will be sub mitted to the Congress of Paris. The greatest cordiality prevailed between the members of the commission from the beginning to the end of their operations." THE FRONTIEI COMMISSION. We have already announced the termination of the labours Of the international commissions charged with the regulation of the Turco-Russian frontiers in Asia, and the return of sonic of its members to Constantinople. Tho following is a brief account of the Fabour,s of that coinmision : "The members assembled on the 14th June at Gumri (Alexandropol,l, and, after an exchange of mutual c i v iliti es , e l ec t e d M.

The Madrid journals of the 9th have arrived. The ministerial crisis continued. The Iberia, the Clamor Public°, and some other papers say that it was believed that M. Bravo Murillo had declined to undertake the formation of such a Ministry as the Queen wished—that is, in which members of different political parties should enter ; he, they say, represented to her Ma jesty that a cabinet could not hope to carry oat useful measures, and to follow a definitive line of policy, unless it were under the complete direction of one chief. In consequence of M. Bravo Murillo's resolution, the formation of a cabinet by Admiral Amero was spoken of ; but some reports were cur rent that the crisis would after all end by the re constitution of a cabinet under General Narvaez, whilst others represented that the Marquis de Pezuela was likely to be entrusted with the task of forming an administration. Meetings of deputies had begun to be held to deli berate on the crisis. It is again positively stated that M. Bravo Murillo was not summoned from Paris by the Queen ; he, nevertheless, it appears, travelled with such rapidity that he per formed the journey between the two capitals in seventy hours. At Cenia do Rosell, in the Macs trazgo, a number of workmen, some of them armed with guns, had paraded the streets uttering cries against the liberals ; the alcalde, accompanied by a number of the respectable inhabitants carrying muskets, turned out to disperse them. After an exchange of shots the mob fled. One of the rioters was wounded and five were arrested. The cause of the movement is not stated. A school for the staff of the navy had been established. A new lighthouse had been constructed at Cape Pala fruguell, in the province of Girona. " A foreign journal," says the Pays, 1 ' states that the Serdar Murad-Mirza endeavoured, after the evacuation of _Herat, to excite the Persian army to revolt, in order to raise himself to power. Information, which we have received from an authentic source, enables us to affirm that this ac count is entirely unfounded. The Serdar Murad- Mirza arrived at Teheran on the 11th August and was received in the kindest manner by the Shah, and nothing has taken place which could cause hi s fidelity to be suspected." A letter from Sulina of the 2Gth ult. states that the movement of navigation has not been very con siderable this year in the Danube. This is attri buted to the abundance of the crops in Western Europe. Up to this time not more than a thou sand yessels"have entered the river. Among them have only been 14 French, of from 200 to 300 tons eac h. They have come from Marseilles, Agde, and Narbonne, and loaded with wool. and colzas fur France, or,with corn for England. The Etoile du Danube says :—" According to a telegraphic despatch from Bucharest, the deputies to the Divan ad hoc of Wallachia may be classified as follows for their political opinions, _their adhe sion, ho wever, to the w i sh f or t h e union being general :--liberal progressists, 58 ; conservatives, 25 ; partisans of the ex-hospodars, 18 ; total, 101. Another classification is as follows :—National party, properly so called, 54 ; patriots of 1848, 19 ; partisans of 'the Prince Caimacan, 11 ; deputies of the peasants, not classified, 17 ; total, 101. As tho number of deputies is only 102, no very mate rial change from the above can take place." According to a letter from Stockholm, the King was about to leave the palace of Tullgarn, and to take' up his residence at the royal palace of Stock holm. It was even rumoured that his Majesty was about to take a foreign journey, his physicians having recommended him a milder climate than that-of Sweden. The same letter stAte3 that the Storthing of N,Orway had, as was expected, voted the Prince Regent an income of 40,000 species to support his new dignity. This grant was the more gratifying to the Prince, from the fact that he had caused a notification to be made to the Storthing that he did not wish for an increase. AUSTRALIA. ARRIVAL OF THE RED JACKET. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The White Star clipper ship Red Jacket, Cap}. M. H. O'Halloran, arrived in the Mersey this fox e noon, from Melbourne, after a passage of 85 days. Her news is, however, anticipated. The Red Jacket left Melbourne on the 19th of July—had very fine weather to the south point of Van Dieman's Land—time occupied, seven days. She subsequently experienced very heavy weather for a week, compelling her to stand far to the north ; half the passage from Van Diemen's Land to Cape Horn as much as eight days • but light and variable winds afterward retarded her progress. She was 37 days from Melbourne before rounding the Cape —a distance she has before performed in 22 days. She was 20 days from the Horn to the Line, and -0 that point from Melbourne 57 days ; from the Lino to Liverpool 28 days ; had no N.E. trades to the parallel of 15 N. experienced very light variable airs fioin all points ; from Cape de Verd to Holy head her time was 15 days. Since she experienced the hurricane in the South Pacific, the ship has never had her main-royals stowed, save for one hour only. Her cargo consisted 70,000 ounces of gold, besides a large quantity in the hands of pas sengers —of whom she has 126-500 bales of wool, a quantity of of tallow, colonial wines, hides, &c.

A fair demat.d. to "OM 1 THE FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE GREAT NORTHERN TUNNEL. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Wakloy, the coroner, held a somewhat lengthened inquiry at the Railway Tavern, Potter's Bar, respecting the deaths of George Howe, and 38, George Balaton, alias Simmons, aged 40, and Wm. Hubbard, aged 24, three plate-layers, who were killed in the Potter's Bar Tunnel of the Great _Northern Railway on last Sunday morning. Mr. T. Williams, the inspector of the line, was in attendance, to give any informati on t o th e j ury on the part of the railway company. A number of witnesses were examined, from whom the following statement of the melancholy accident was gleaned : One of the deceased men, Balston, was a ganger, and occasionally undertook piece -work from one of the contractors, named Norton. For two Sundays previous to the occurrence in question he had been engaged with eight other men in raising the rails in the tunnel, preparatory to turning them, as such work could only be executed on a Sunday on ac count of the frequency of the daily trains. He was bound down to complete his work on two Sundays which ho did, but contrary to the intentions of the contractor, he proceeded to lay the rails last Sun day. All went on wellenough until a few minutes past nine o'clock in the morning, when an empty returning coal train and a passenger train entered the tunnel at opposite ends. The whole of the men at work, numbering 9, got out of the way of the empty train, but forgot the up-passenger train, the tunnel being nearly filled with steam, until it was close upon them, and the result was that three of them were caught by the engine and literally smashed to pieces, their remains being picked up in various parts of the tunnel after wards. The driver and guard of the engine were not aware of what had taken place until they arrived at the Holloway station, when they saw the blood of the killed men upon the engine wheels. It was stated to the jury that when men are working in a tunnel, a green flag is always placed some six hundred or seven hundred yards from each extremity, and in the charge of a man or boy, as a caution to drivers to proceed slowly. Balston and his men were all unknown to the contractor ; and the absence of Balston's boy from the green flag impressed the engine -driver with the belief that the work was ended. A great deal of evidence was gone into, and the room was cleared for deliberation. In about 20 minutes the jury returned a verdict of death by misadventure, accompanied by an addendum, to the effect that they considered the present signal arrangements in such' cases very defective ; and that a man, and not a boy, should be placed, on all occasions when men are working in tunnels; at some distance from each extremity, with appro priate flags to warn engine -drivers. One of the men, Balaton, has left a family of a wife and six children, the youngest an infant in arms. The men and officers of the G Company of. Middlesex Rifles have raised a small subscription for the families. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A SURGEON AT MANCHESTER. At the sitting of the Manchester Court of Record yesterday, before John Monk, RN., Recorder, there was tried a case, "Dale v. Wainwright," in which the plaintiff, a dressmaker, sought damages for an assault committed on the 15th January. The defendant, John Wells Wainwright, is a phy sician, practising as a surgeon, and residing in Bur lington-street, Oxford-street, Manchester. The defendant pleaded that be had not com mitted the assault ; and that the plaintiff being un lawfully in his house, &c., he gently laid his hand upon her for the purpose of ejecting her. Both plaintiff and defendant were examined. After coun sel had been heard on each side, The Deputy-Recorder, in summing up, remarked that this was almost as painful a case as had ever been seen in a court of justice. On the one hand there was a young woman who publicly avowed that she had fallen from the paths of virtue, and lived for years in sin ; and on the other hand a defendant, who did not deny that he had taken advantage of the opportunities afforded him by his being the medical attendant in a respectable family, to become acquainted with the plaintiff, and to seduce her ; that he continued to seek her society so long as the small legacy, to which she became entitled on her mother's death, enabled her to main tain herself ; and that when she bad nothing to live upon he abandoned and left her without the smallest means of obtaining the very necessaries of life. When two persons were found coming to a court of justice, each confessing an equality of sin, the one manifesting some shame and confusion of face at the confession, and the other bearing a bold —he had almost said an audacious—front uuder the accusation, it was for the jury to say w hi c h o f them came with the most credit, and which of them they thought best deserved their sympathies. In this case, he (the Deputy-Recorder) saw no way whatever of liberating the jury from the conclusion that one party or the other had intended to deceive them, and by their verdict they must say which of the two was so deceiving them. The learned judge then road through the whole of the evidence, making occasional comments upon it. He said he concurred in the observations of the • learned counsel who had just addressed them with so much eloquence and power, as to the heartless manner in which the defendant spoke of burning the poor girl's letters. It was as heartless a thing as he had ever heard a man confess. For a man who had recently lost his wife, to whom one would suppose he had at one time been tenderly attached, who had seduced a young girl, and who knew her misery, destitution, and wretchedness, to burn her letters without even seeing what her statement was, seemed to him (the judge) a very cold, hard, callous a6tion. Almost the last observation of the learned counsel for the defendant was, " You have seen the way in which the plaintiff gave her evidence," im puting that it was discreditable to her ; but it seemed to him (the judge) that she was to some ex tent overpowered with a sense' of the degradation and disgrace that she had brought upon herself, and her general demeanour appeared to be in her fa vour. The jury would have to say, in the first P lace ) whether there was any assault committed. If they believed her, in estimating the am oun t o f damages they would give, they had no right to con sider the seduction, nor think of punishing the de fendant because he had behaved heartlessly towards the unfortunate victim of his lust ; but they had a right to compensate her for her bodily suffering, and such mental suffering as she had endured through being struck by the man to whom she \ had given her affections. If they gave damages at all, he would advise that they should be reasonable and moderate, and not what were called vindictive damages. The jury con-kulted for a few minutes, when the foreman ingnired what amount of damages could be given in that Court ? The Deputy-Recorder said he thought he ought not to tell them ; but upon Mr. Wheeler remarking that the amount at which the damages were laid was stated in the record, and he had forgot to men tion it, the learned judge said the jury must only give what they believed to be reasonable damages. The extreme amount laid in the declaration was M. After ten minutes' consultation, the jury returned a verdict fc.,r the plaintiff—damages 401. PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS IN AMERICA.—The tightness in the money market does not affect the spirits of ou r people so far as to keep them away from places of amuse ment. Perhaps they may feel the need, all the more, of s nnething to keep their spirits up after the anxieties and tribulations of the day. All our theatres seem to be in full blast, and the Opera singers discount notes to crowds of eager customers. The amount of money expended nightly upon amusements in this city is much greater than is generally imagined. Take the following state. went as a rough, and certainly not an exaggerated esti mate of the amounts received upon any one night at the various t heatrbs,&e.:—Academy of Music, 2,000 dole., Niblo's Garden, 1,000 dollars ; Laura Keene's Theatre, 800 dollars ; Broadway Theatre, 1,300 dollars ; lack's Theatre, 800 dollars ; Burton's Theatre, 900 dole. • i l ,6 r o s 0 . flowery The a t re , 500 d o ll ars ; N a ti on al Theatre, 400 dollars ; Ba rnum 's Museum, 500 dollars ; Bryant Minstrels, 250 dollars ; Franklin Museum, 400 d o l e. ; ollars making dollars t o Christy 8 f M0,n05 M instrels, dollars. dollars Olympic ; Dusseldorf 0 4 r O f o G l a ; Anatomical Museum, 100 dollars ; ma Here is a total of over 10,000 dollars expended every night in this city alon e, merel y for amusements, And yet it may not b e wasted. It is im possible that men 'as many d e i n thi s c i ty should go throug h the wear and tear of business day w after i day an o t and w eek recreation e first daanft er relaxationeek of some sor t . I t is, indeed, tho one necessaries of life to the thousands and tens of thousands of our working men. Those who work with the brain feel it most, but those who labour with the bands need it also, and ought to have the means and opportunities for it much more abundantly than they have at present. It it; for the lack of it that so many day-labourers resort to the rum shop, to find in the lights and hilarity, as well as in the drink o f th e place, some stimulus to the exhausted body and flagging spirit. The cause Of morality would be greatly benefited by any one who would d ev i se a system of cheap, popular, attractive,. and innocent amusements for the poor. But probably two. thirds of the money paid for amusements in the city comes from strangirs. It is curious to stand at the entrance of any of our theatres or concert saloons, and observe how few among the faces of those entering can be recognised as belonging to the city. There are always at least twenty or thirty thousand strangers in the city, and the great mass of them pay at least one visit to these places of entertainment during their stay.--7Neio York, Times. f'
