His soldiers spare. thing; men, women, and children were rnassa t their tents burnt, their cattle became the prey of soldiers, and but a few men (sixty in all, out o . 4. thousand five hundred) escaped to Tangier, W they would have been imprisoned and sent back . suffer the same fate as their brethren, had not the French Chargé d'Affaires, M. Chasteau, interfered, taken them under his protection, and shipped them off to Oran by the Government steamer Veloce, then in Tangier Bay. A bold and generous act of interference of this kind, between a barbarous Government and an unhappy people, will do more to increase French influence amongst the population of the Barb, , ry States than a dozen empty and expensive missions to the Court, from which no good cart accrue to any one except to the Sultan, who receives the customary presents, and to the Consul-General, whose vanity is flattered by the respect paid him durin the journey. The Moors curse the pageant because they have to pay for it, and find provisions for an immense escort for a distance of some 600 miles and back, without receiving the least remuneration. The Ambz;ssador has an audience of his Shereefian Majesty to present the gifts and the royal letter (for no one can go to, Ole Court without making a present to the Sultan). Grievances, if any exist, are stated, favours are asked for the protega of the Consul —everything is complied with verbally, nothing ever granted. The European Envoy receives a present from the Sultan of some horSes, and returns to Tangier to talk of his gracious reception. Government pays the expenses, and the farce is concluded. ~,~ /~/- , / 111,11111141 , 1 00 L 1,14 , 10% art C6MAit .

COURT OF ALDERMEN. to advantages from that triumph. On the contrary, if he should fail in the attempt, the Court was bound to perform the duty, however painful, of getting rid of him altogether. Alderman LUCAS asked whether it would be pro per in that court to inquire about the Colchester election ?—(A. laugh). For his part, he was of opinion that the House of Commons had something more to do with that question than the Court of Al dermen.—(Laughter). Alderman COPELAND—The Act of Parliament says the Commissioner shall wholly and solely attend to the duties of the office. I say he has gone to Col chester, first as a candidate, and afterwards as the friend of Mr. Hardcastle, to aid in that gentleman's election. He went without the permission of the Lord Mayor away from his duties. If you think there is in this conduct no cause of complaint, act accordingly. Ido not care what you do, but I know that the subject will be discussed in Parliament, and I shall be exonerated. Alderman SIDNEY—There is no proof whatever that Mr. Harvey has neglected his duties. He has never neglected them, and he can astonish the court by the numerous signatures of the first houses in the City in warm approbation of the improved system upon which he regulates the force—a system which will challenge the metropolitan or any other police of the country. I consider that there is nothing at all in the eharges insinuated, for there are no distinct written charges against him, and it is ridiculous to bring vague and i n t ang ibl e complaints against an officer who fills a situation of so much public im portance. Sir C. MAnsuku. said that credit was due to Al derman Copeland for the honourable feeling exhibited by that gentleman towards the Court, but he thought it would be advisable in the Court to take the opinion of counsel as to the exercise of their power under the Act before they came to any resolution on a question which, if precipitately urged on, might end in sub jecting the whole body to ridicule.—(Laughter). He thought the Act would not bear the construction which Alderman Copeland put upon it, and that their Com missioner, who in offering himself a candidate for Parliament and afterwards preferring his present con dition, verified the adage that "Brag was a good dog, but Holdfast was a better," was perfectly aware of the invalidity of the law as applicable to his case. After some observations from the Lou]) MAYOR Elect, who objected to the motion that it contained nothing specific, the question was referred to the law officers for their advice as to the power of the Court under the Act of Parliament. The Court then adjourned. AMERICAN AFFAIRS. NEW YORK, SErx. 15. You will have seen, probably, in some of the papers of this country a pretended apprehension that. Spain is about to transfer Cuba to Great Britain, and, based upon this apprehension, an effort is making to alarm the American people as to the injury their commerce, if not their .political institutions, would assuredly sustain by the adoption of such a measure. It is probable that these movements of the press have passed with you unnoticed, or as visionary specula tions not meriting serious consideration. What the ulterior object of these self-constituted guardians of the public interest may be is in the womb of time; but the immediate tendency of all such ill advised publications is to excite a prejudice, not only against your Government, but against your most active and intelligent men. Nor is it wise or prudent for the friends of peace to treat with indifference and neglect these signs of the times. No matter under what specious garb they may o be put forth, they have a meaning and an object in vievK. When political demagogues and heartless specu• lators wished to seize and appropriate to their own use the public lands of Texas, they manufactured a tale that Great Britain was on the point of taking possession of that territory, and that if any time was lost in arranging the form, &c., of annexing Texas to the United States, it would be too late, as the British Government would haVe acted. The bait was intended One of these contracts will commence near Nottingham, by a junction with the Lincoln line, at Colwick, and will include the bridge over the river Trent, and extend to Contract No 1, at Bot tesford ; and the other will commence at Grantham, and extend to the junction of the Sleaford Branch, making a total distance from Colwick, near Nottingham, of twenty-three miles, including the first contract. Notice is hereby given that, in Pursuance of the Act 10 and 11 Victoria, chap. 42, the Business relating to the Duties on Hackney Carriages will be transacted at the Excise-office, Broad-street, in the city of London, on and after MONDAY, October 4, on which day the DUTY due must be PAID at that Office. TO THE DRIVERS OF HACKNEY CARRIAGES. Property left in Hackney Carriages must, on and alter MONDAY, October 4, be deposited with the Commissioners of Excise, at their office in Broad-street, in the city of London. After the election of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, a Court was held. Upon the motion of Alderman FAREBROTHER, the thanks of the Court was unanimously voted to the Rev. Halstead Cobden, chaplain to the Lord Mayor, for the excellent sermon he had that day preached before the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs, at the parish church of St. Lawrence Jewry. THE CITY POLICE AND THE WEST LONDON UNION. The report of the Commissioner of the City Police on the subject of the complaint made by some mer cantile men who reside in the neighbourhood of the West Union Workhouse, to the effect that the noise and disturbance occasioned by the poor applicants for admission interfered essenti a lly with the transaction of business, was brought up. The complaint repre sented that some of the police in that locality had acted improperly, and Mr. Harvey's report directly contradicted the allegations upon that subject. Alderman COPELAND said that, under circum stances of so extraordinary a description, it was the duty of the Court to institute an inquiry, at which the police implicated in the charge might be present. Similar complaints had been made at the Guildhall police-court in his presence, and it was rather sin gular that to the repetition of such complaints there should be so flat a negative from the Commissioner, particularly as they had been made by gentlemen of undoubted respectability. That the nuisance was in existence there was no doubt, and the police in spector and his assistant had been so obliging as to suggest to the Court a remedy without being at all asked their opinion upon- the -vsbject.—(A. laugh.) In order that justice might ik 4?one, he should move that the commissioner's report be referred to the General Purposes Committee. Alderman SYDNEY said he believed the paupers in the West London Union were very roughly treated, and that the rooms in the building were not adapted to the numerous demands for shelter. From such causes it was but reasonable to expect a turbulent dissatisfaction would arise. Further particulars may be obtained, and plans seen, by applying at the Office of Works, Guildhall.

Knowing that heretofore his dreaded knock Had acted on his tenant like a shock. But now there needed not the s ightest fuss, For Mr. Tenant met the landlord thus: Good morning, Mr. Landlord, pray walk in, For Sir, (excuse the phrase), I've got the tin. About a year ago, or maybe leas, I set to work to try and save in dress, And having from my neighbours understood That Messrs. MOSES sell both cheap and good, I made a purchase from their stock of stocks, And put the savings in a money box. Here the good tenant on the table roll'd His gains by MOSES—copper, silver. gold, And having counted it he smiled to view Enough to pay his rent and taxes too. Well done, exclaimed the landlord, I propose We drink to MOSES and to MOSES' clothes. LIST OF PRICES. mADE TO xxestizz.

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself wider the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYEIIWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pib. in 2 vols., ls. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretatior , of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6,1.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—tn do unto others as he would be done unto—tc live atter nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way."

Alderman LUCAS asked how it happened that such numbers applied for relief at such a season of the year, when such applicants were generally much dimin ished ? If it turned out that they came from Ireland, a great deal of allowance must be made for the au thorities at the union, for it was pretty well known that customers of that kind required not only to be sheltered, but to be kept altogether, and the expense which must be incurred by administering relief would be enormous, at the same time that the claimants were regular stickers, and could not by any ingenuity, be shaken off. He knew that vast numbers of the Irish who come to London from Liverpool were obliged to be lodged in St. Thomas's Hospital, in consequence of violent illness, and when they were cured the diffi culty in prevailing upon them to go out to make room for other patients was almost insuperable. Of late crowds of Irish had come over for the purpose of picking hops, but the number of native labourers to do that work in the county of Kent was adequate to the employment, and 1,400 to 1,500 poor Irish were thus continued in a destitute condition. Alderman PAREBROTHER said it was quite evident that an inquiry should be made, and the motion was carried without opposition. THE COMMISSIONER OF CITY POLICE AND THE LATE ELECTIONS OF MARYLEBONE AND COLCHESTER. i e c e evidence i in respect dtmuea npkfa eodetol upon f Alderman COPELAND rose, pursuant to notice, t o c th o e nd la u t c e t il o i f ary th ie e b C on o move that the Court do take into consideration the Commissioner a o n f d Po th l Marylebone election, mi before the select committee of the Court of Comm on ctitn C tiholo o emeh u i snisn apology u c idbt i jult committee cey n t . r t f e oo l r a lm t te i aa o wkl n leob t ui o gl edr t tt h ibla e eei n p ar o t etl statementse i c c on police ii o eo f cnt t e h odf e tCh his reflectingai t t y b h . ree H thh e ar t management hose of st a t t e h m e e nCityts were police, proved that d i n to be a correct, although the report of the committee was not such as he expected would have arisen from the investigation. It would also be recollected that the inquiry caused such a feeling in the Court of Common Council as to occasion the rejection of a motion for increasing the salary of the Commissioner. Believing that the Chief Magistrate would call the attention of the Court to the evidence taken before the committee, he had abstained from making any stir in the matter for some time, but finding that the subject had dropped, he determined to give the notice to which he now requested their attention, and he was the more ale Jueglsiature Ilan,. Lake cognizauee Vi Luc it r ..o ~. • the committee, the evidence in which represented that stolen property and duplicates of stolen property were given, with the sanction of the Commissioner, as a reward to the officers. He should next call the at tention of the Court to the Police Act, which distinctly stated that the sole and undivided services of the police commissioner were to be devoted to the duties of the office, and that the commissioner should not take, nor attempt to take a seat in Parliament. It was clear, from the clause in that Act, that the citizens of London had an unquestionable claim upon Mr. Harvey's exclusive exertions, and that he could not be a candidate without giving up his place. It was clear that the duty of the Commissioner could not be performed while he was seeking another occupation. But how did that posi tion correspond with what appeared in the public journals in the accounts of his attempts to obtain a seat for Colchester, which he afterwards, for some reason or other, declined ? How was it reconcilable with his efforts at Marylebone, where he even under went the ordeal of the ballot, and assured the electors in the most solemn manner that he would, if elected, resign his office of Commissioner ? Here was un deniable ground of complaint. By such conduct Mr. 1 Harvey had made himself amenable in heavy penal ties, independently of his responsibility to the Court, from the head of which he was bound to obtain per mission before he undertook to go to Colchester to assist in the election of Mr. Hardcastle after he had given up the representation of that place in his own person. Who could be for a moment blamed for ac cusing the corporation of London of jobbing and other misconduct, when their Commissioner went to assist a candidate for Parliamentary honours, and pledged him self to give up his own office upon being raised to a simi lar station? He (Alderman Copeland) had told an un varnished tale. He cared not w hether the question was, or was not, taken up by the Court. All he de sired to do was, to secure himself from imputation if a Parliamentary inquiry should take place. He could say, that whatever might occur, he was blameless. He called upon his brother aldermen to take up the ques tion; and if they did not, and should afterwards have cause to regret their supineness, they must not cast any part of the censure which would be cast upon them on his shoulders. The disinclination of the Commissioner to be guided or influenced by anything which fell from the Court was evident from the fact that, although the impropriety of the employment of policemen by the Commissioner as domestic servants was strongly alluded to in the report of the com mittee, a policeman named Brett was actually at that very,moment in his service, at a salary of 223. per week. Alderman Copeland concluded by expressing his wish either that the subject he considered by the Court, or referred to a select c ommittee to consider and report upon it. Alderman SIDNEY admitted that there were cir cumstances in the transactions alluded to by Alder manthe j llst Copeland iee tot deservinghe c ot n nii s o s f i o i n n e q r u t i o r y s a ; y b t u h t a h t e the m ucsot Court o t of Aldermen had decided by a considerable majority (13 to 3) that he was under paid, and that his salary ought to be raised from 8001. to 1,0001. a year, al. though most of the very charges now brought against him by Alderman Copeland had been inves tigated by the members. In a Committee of the tCaokmenmoionlaeo.unsciloa decision doubtthat d to eei t s he ion same w effect asnegati h v a ed d by a large majority in the Court of Common Coun cil ; but then the charges against him were pro nounced to be completely frivolous ; and in the Court of Aldermen the accusations were considered equally groundless and untenable. As to the Commissioner's extraordinary conduct at Marylebone, he did not mean at all to apologize for that most singular eccen tricity. The public had already pretty intelligibly decided upon the merits of that course ; but with regard to the charges which Alderman Copeland had repeated, the two Courts had already determined that they were remarkable for nothing but their weakness. Alderman FARM:MOTHER thought it odd that Al derman Sidney should leave the charges unanswered, and consider that he had done all that was necessary in saying that the Commissioner's salary was not sufficiently large. The Court of Common Council thought, and so it appeared from the sequel Mr. llarvey thought too, that 8001. a year was enough, for he preferred the office of Commissioner with that salary to a seat in Parliament without any salary at all.—(A laugh.) He admired the Commissioner's judgment as exhibited in that decision. He did not see how so serious a matter as the subject before the Court really was could be passed over slightly. It was to be considered that Alderman Copeland had introduced fresh charges, and certainly when public officers were accused it was indispensable for the ends of justice that the accusations should be openly made, and that opportunities should be afforded for answer , ing those accusations as openly.—(Hear, hear.) Let r the Commissioner appear before the Court of Alder men ; and if he succeeded in proving that he was wrongly accused, let him enjoy the triumph, and look NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Lieutenant-Colonel Dundas, C.B, Director of the Foundry Department ; Lieutenant:Colonel Gordon, Director of the Carriage Department; Lieutenant- Colonel Colquhoun, of the same department ; and Major Palliser, of the Proof Department, assembled to-day at two o'clock to witness experiments with Mr. Haig's patent forge and fan blast, for producing station. woecn condition,ht oe finead ne frigate, great heat with manual labour only. The first expe riment was made to ascertain its capabilities compared with the common smith's bellows and forge attached to the troops of Royal Horse Artillery and field bat teries when employed in active service, and it was shown that Mr. Haig's plan was not only efficient for all that the bellows and smith's forge could accom plish, but its far greater advantages were shown by a broken iron axle of a field carriage being brought to an excellent welding heat and welded in 25 minutes. A similar result could not have been effected with the usual smith's forge. The next experiment was made in the dial-square of the foundry department, two of Mr. Haig's machines being placed adjoining a fur nace for fusing iron or cast metal, one of the machines being worked by a lever handle, and the other by a crank handle. An excellent casting was soon ob tained, and the crank-handled machine shown to be the best and easiest worked. An experiment also took place to ascertain the efficiency of the fan-blast in making shot red hot, and in eight minutes 12- pounders were made red hot, and ready for firing The invention is very portable, and suitable for ships and war-steamers, and will be a great advantage in the field, and at foreign stations where small parties of artillerymen are detached. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. Yesterday the magistrates held a special meeting, for the purpose of receiving a communication from the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Secretary of State for the Home Department, on the subject of the rules for the management of the new House of Deten tion, Clerkenwell. Mr. PowriALL, as chairman of the bench, presided, and read the communication from the Right Hon. Secretary, sanctioning the code of rules. Amongst them is one which should at once be promulgated, as the new prison is just opened : " RULE RELATING TO PRISONERS COMMITTED FOR TRIAL OR FOR EXAMINATION. " Prisoners for trial shall be permitted to see their relations and friends on any week-day, with out any order, between the hours of eleven and two o'clock in the afternoon, and at any other time on a week-day by an order in writing from a visiting or committing justice ; and they shall be permitted to see their legal adviser (by which is to be understood a certificated attorney or his authorised clerk) on any day, at any reasonable hour, and in private if required. Prisoners of this class may write or receive letters, to be inspected by the Governor, except any confiden tial written communication prepared as instructions for their legal advisers ; such paper to be delivered personally to the legal adviser or his authorised clerk, without being previously examined by any officer of the prison ; but all such written communications not personally delivered to the legal adviser or his clerk are to be considered as letters, and are not to be sent out of the prison without being personally inspected by the Governor. Any person presenting himself for admission as the clerk of an admitted attorney shall, in the absence of his principal, produce to the h Governor in each case evidence ( sa tisfactory to such Governor) of his being such an accredited a g ent; and the legal adviser or his clerk sha ll name the pri soner whom he wishes to visit."

But mark the result. No sooner had the fraud accomplished its intended object than thf conspirators admitted it to be a fraud, and triumphed in its success. Mr. Houston, a senator of the United States, from Texas, published a letter stating the facts, and acknow ledging himself a principal actor in the transaction. Now, this affair is of such recent date that none can have forgotten it. What has once happened may happen again. I now call the attention of the British people to this subject, because I fear ultimately it may tend to interrupt the present harmony between Great Britain and the United States, because I think it is the design of a party here to involve these two nations in a conflict of arms, and because I know the enemies of peace are not scrupulous as to the means which they will use to accomplish their design. There has ever been a party in this country hostile to the British Government ; but that party originally had its existence in the revolutionary war, and sub sequently was nurtured by the impressment of Ameri can seamen, and other vexatious difficulties, long since adjusted between the high contracting parties. The war party to which I now refer is of a more recent date, having its origin in causes far more selfish, and to some extent reckless and unprincipled. The active partizans of this new faction are the late prime movers and chieftains of the 54 deg. 40 min. Oregon men. Their object, and the means by which it was to be accomplished, are well understood on both sides of the Atlantic. Finding themselves discomfited in the acquisition of Oregon, they sought a new, but not more honourable:channel to wealth and notoriety. In circles presumed to be well-informed on this subject it is whispered and believed that the defeat in Oregon in some measure produced, certainly promoted, the Mexican war. In truth, it is said that the declaration " that war between Mexico and the United States existed" was made to pacify, if not satisfy, the advocates of 54 deg. 40 min., as it opened a new channel "for enterprising young men." On this subject something may hereafter be said. At present it is proper to remark that some truly patriotic citizens, from the purest motives, but under a mis taken view of the question, are sounding the idle rumour to which I have adverted. To these 54 deg. 40 min. men are to be added a number of restless spirits, exiles from Great Britain, whose whole lives are devoted to mischief-making. These, with a few similar characters, constitute the majority of this war party, few in number, yet sufficiently numerous to create and circulate strong prejudices, which ought to be studiously guarded against, in both Great Britain and the United States, by the friends of peace. From Mexico we have numerous interesting and important, but conflicting rumours. That on the largest scale states that General Scott engaged the Mexican army for two days ; that he lost between 1;200 and 1,500 men, whilsLe slaughtered from 4,000 to 6,000 Mexicans. C2itrucriplounts state that there 3Y 5 15.1” Lb Mab tip c Tr is VI n ‘- cat malvvJ ridiculous of the rumours is one that General Scott had been chosen President or Governor of the city of Mexico. I have thus briefly given you a few of the rumours of the day. It is universally conceded that there has been an action, in which the Americans were victorious ; that the city of Mexico, if not actually in the possession of General Scott, was in such a condition that he could enter it without opposition whenever he pleased. To repeat the rumours on this subject would be an idle waste of time. On the real state of facts there is no settled opinion. All is conjecture. Of Paredes and his whereabouts we hear nothing since he left Vera Cruz. _ _ _ It is confidently asserted that three distinct sets of instructions have been sent to Mr. Trist—the first, the most liberal to Mexico; the third, the most strin gent and oppressive to that people. It is understood that the third has been captured by the Mexicans. These details, however, must be ranked with other rumours en the subject of American affairs. The Vermont election has resulted in a greatly diminished triumph to the Whig party. That loss is ascribed to other causes than politics. The state, however, is Whig. The great difficulty has been the temperance question. To this subject I referred some time since, and predicted this result. The License Law, which prevents the sale of spirituous liquors in small quantities, is a most odious Act, and consequently has become very unpopular. If not totally abandoned, it will act as a mill-stone around the neck of the Whig party. All attempts in a free country to make men moral or virtuous by means of penal statutes must prove abortive. In the United States it is breaking down the Whig party, and greatly injuring the temperance cause. Independent men revolt at compulsion and shackles to accomplish even a good. The Convention of the state of Illinois have agreed to a new constitution. It contains several improve ments, one of which is, that hereafter none but citizens of the United States, having resided twelve months within the state, shall have a right to vote at any election. Heretofore aliens, after a residence of six months, voted. The vote was—Ayes, 131 ; Noes, 7. Cornwall, in Upper Canada, has been visited by a most terrific thunder storm and tornado early in the present month. Only one life, so far as we are in formed, was lost. The destruction of property, however, is said to have been very great. —Times. A GENEVESE TRAVELLER. POSITION OF ABD-EL-KADER. GIBRALTAR, SEPT. 12.—Hadj Abd-el-Kader is at present encamped about twenty miles from Melilla, and twelve miles inland from a place marked on marine charts " Cabadanah," opposite the Zaffarin Islands. The regular force he has now with hi m consists of about 1,500 horse and 800 foot. sc4orcersrs; and these, it is acknowledged by the SP B ';i s p h of the Melilla garrison, who all wept their bi:i sta Y e i ll. avn i e d men.

These and other such tales have acted upon the minds of this savage and ignorant people, and they are at present afraid to countenance the Emir, and pretend great loyalty for the reigning Sul tan ; still they have taken no active part against him ; and the story current here, and circulated with so much industry by the French Consul, of his having been defeated, and deprived of his wives and stores, is only a tale trumped up by French agents, to suit their own purposes ; no attack has been made upon him, or his, by any tribe in the Reef; the Sultan has no troops beyond Taza, and they are to insignificant to be feared. Notwithstanding the immense influence which the Emir unquestionably possesses over the minds of his people, his present position, in ray opi nion, is untenable, and unless he receive some support and countenance from abroad he must ere long sink under the Sultan's power, actively backed as that is by French gold and influence, and thus Africa will lose her brightest ornament, and France be delivered from a bitter and determined foe. The only foundation for the report mentioned above is the fact that a few days ago the Sultan fell upon the small remnant of the tribe of Ben-Amri (formerly adherents of the Emir, but who sought the Shereefum protection some fourteen months since, and were located by the Imperial order near Whe- MONEY MARKET and CITY NE'„ CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING " The failure of Fry, Griffiths, and Co., indigoAn4 colonial brokers, has bee n a nnounce d to-day. The "s amou-'t of their liabilities has not been stated, but it is believed that it must be very considerable. ' The private letters-by the Caledonia indicate the prevalence of considetattie uneasiness in the New York money market, consequent upun the failure of Prime, Ward, and Co. By some parties their liabili ties are stated at 900,000 dollars, of which 400,000 consist of deposits. The possibility of a resumption appears in no case to have been entertained, except on the supposition that the steamer of the 4th of September, from Liverpool, might bring advices of a considerable rise in our corn-markets; and as the downward course of our prices continued without intermission until after her departure, it is of course out of the question to hope that the firm can recover itself. One writer estimates their as sets as likely to yield from 75 to SO cents in the dollar, and by another it is observed, From all I hear about their business, I feel certain that they cannot resume, nor even pay in full." It is added, that in New York the firm had been greatly over estimated in point of wealth. We are glad to have it in our power to state that no one in this country is likely to suffer by the suspension. It will be re membered, that when the old house of Prime, Wares, and King, was dissolved in January last, two separate houses were formed, one by Mr. Prime, under the firm of Prime, Ward, and Co., and the other by Mr. King, under the firm of James G. King and Sons. Since that time the principal correspondents of the old house have transacted their business with the latter firm, and hence it is understood that from the present failure no loss whatever will be sustained. It will be observed that, owing to the distrust which prevailed at New York, the rate charged for bills by the leading houses had advanced, previously to the sailing of the steamer, to 109. This, how ever, is below the rate at w hi c h it w ill prove pro fitable to send gold, as will be seen by the follcwing calculations ; Sovereigns of average weight may be con sidered to be worth in New York (at the legal price per penny weight) about 4 dolls. 84ic. each, which is equal to an exchange of 109 Add freight and insurance, estimated at 1 per cent.

James Guest and Co., cotton spinners, and Messrs. E. M. Cooper and Co., manu facturers, are in each instance believed to be small. —Times. THE VlPER.—These beautiful but dangerous rep tiles literally swarm on the moors of Derbyshire, espe cially betwixt Chesterfield and l)arley. The bite of the viper is often attended with the most alarming results. It is not, perhaps, generally known that it never attacks its enemy but when partly in an erect posture, darting on its object in a manner similar to a bird of prey. A proof of this assertion the writer of this had once an opportunity of witnessing. A short time ago a viper was observed coiled up on a part of the highway called " Jebb's Firs," apparently asleep, nor did it appear to be in any way disturbed from its seeming lethargy until the arrival of a horse and cart, when the viper arose upon its tail and bounded several feet in the air, no doubt with an intent of seizing the animal by the mouth. The horse, at the same time, showed evident signs of great fear and excitement. The person who drove the horse, after some trouble, managed to kill the reptile, which was reckoned a fine specimen of its kind. -Derby Mercury. STRIKE WHILE THE IRON Is HOT.—TWO servants, who had lived many years together with an old gentle man in Northamptonshire, were one evening sitting by the kitchen fire, when the male said to the female, " Hannah, you and I have lived many years together, and been very comfortable ; master gets very old and sbakey, and can't last long; and when be dies we shouldn't like to part. So suppose we be married; we're saved a bit of money a piece, and when master's gone should do on a bit of land. What sagest, yes or no, at once?" Hannah replied, " No, Peter, I'd rather not." Peter said no more about it. The next night the same parties sat in the same place. After a little time Hannah said, " Peter, I've been thinking. about what you said last night, and have altered my mind." Peter answered in three words, " So have I." One of those fulminating bombs which have of late been so frequently spoken of, exploded last evening in front of the Theatre Historique. As usual, a number of bits of paper were immediately scattered about, which the crowd hastened to pick up. On each was printed, " Let us commit acts of incendiarism until there be no further opposition to a just division of land and crops."

PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 28.—The ship Tamer, Captain Hall, arrived off the Sound this morning with a full cargo of teas from China. She left Canton the 15th of April, Hong-Kong the 20th of April, and Cape of Good Hope on the 24th of July. After leaving Java Head she spoke the ships Chacely and Lascar, of London, and the bark Maia, of Liverpool, bound home. The Tamer and Chacely came down the China Seas, the Lascar and Maia proceeded through the Straits of Macassar. There were several men-of-war and one steamer, names unknown, at Simon's Bay. Her Ma jesty's steamer Rosamond, Commander John Foote, left Table Bay on the 22d of July with troops for Buffalo Bay. Sir Henry Pottinger was on the frontier. The iron steamer Dwaker, from London and Lisbon for Bom bay, arrived at the Cape on the 21st of July, and was there when the Tamer left. To the north of St. Helena she spoke the bark Conservative, from Madras for Lon don ; and north of the Azores, the brig Elizabeth Hughes, from London for Demerara. Passengers by the Tamer landed here, Captain and Mrs. Carr, Miss Ceates, and Mr. Miles, who has a pair of moose deer from Java,the first of the kind, it is said, ever b roug h t toEngland alive.
