As the subject of submarine operations is one at he present moment of some importance, a few obser vations on the science may not be uninteresting to our readers, particularly as we shall give a descrip tion of a very useful and ingenious piece of apparatus which has recently made its appearance, and promises to be of very considerable advantage to all persons engaged in that hazardous occupation. From the cumbrous size of the diving-bell its utility to the pur poses of submarine research was but limited, and until the introduction of the diving-helmet much remained to be done. This apparatus, as is well known, con sists of a cap or helmet, into which is inserted a-tube, by means of which the diver, when under water, is supplied with the necessary quantum of air, and this supply is necessarily driven into the helmet from air pumps, considerable pressure being requisite to over come the resistance opposed by the water, which would, if an opening in the helmet were permitted, of course fill it, and drown the diver. From this circum stance up to the present period it has not been found possible to communicate verbally with him whilst at his occupation under water, the only means existing for making known the wishes of either party being by signals, a method which is evident to every person must be in many cases of little value, nay, from a signal being misunderstood, the most lamentable con sequences might ensue. The invention alluded to consists in the application of a membrane to the orifice of a tube placed in such a manner that the vibration of the atmosphere enables a conversation to be carried on between the man at the bottom and those above, by the action on the tympanum of the ear. We believe it is the invention of a Bristol gentleman, named Hyde, to whom much honour is due for so simple and important a discovery. The apparatus is daily exhi bited in operation in the water at the Polytechnic institution, and will shortly be applied to the diving bell of that establishment. THE MONEY PRESSURE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST. Sir,—Five months ago (viz., on the 4th of May) an experienced mercantile friend of mine drew Lord John Russell's attention "to the then commercially dangerous position of England, and entreated him not to be misled by the opinion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and of those London merchants and bankers who absurdly fancied that the worst of the financial crisis was passed, and that the tide had favourably turned." My said friend also' recommended Lord John to " discreetly prepare not only for a continuance of the then existing pressure, but for its extension into quar ters where it had then been felt but slightly ; ' and likewise suggested that the safest and simplest remedy for the impending evil was a temporary increase in the circulating medium through the agency of the railway companies. Allowing them to issue 21. and 61. notes to the amount of 10,0001. per mile, payable at the end of five years, with interest at five per cent. (equal to a penny in the pound per calendar month), and making each respective railway responsible for the preferential payment of its notes ; but forbidding the issue of any such notes without the sanction of three-fifths of the railway shareholders, and no rail way note to be a legal tender unless by a mutual contract in writing, the contract to be free of stamp duty. Time having proved the correctness of my friend's forewarning, and as such railway notes would be issued on a much more secure basis than those of any coun try banker, and quite as secure as those of even the Bank of England, and such railway notes would prove more valuable as well as more convenient than Exchequer-bills, what valid objection can be raised against his proposed mode of extending relief to rail way shareholders ? Whatever relieves them from the present awful pressure for money must indirectly re lieve our merchants and manufacturers; and thus, not only would the ship be quickly righted, but she would be gradually steered towards more permanent pros perity than she has ever yet enjoyed. Out of the hundred Members of the new Parlia ment said to be interested in railways could not half of them meet and discuss the importance of some combined effort for the prevention of still greater mischief ?—Respectfully yours, Z ACC 1 - 10.

The racing commenced thi s morning at eleve n, and was not over until between fiv e and six o'clock; it was remarkable for goodness as for quantity, and was a capital wind-up to a highly successful meeting. The Houghton week promises to be equally attractive, the list already containing, besides the Cr iterion, Cam bridgeshire, and other stakes, no less than 28 matches! There is every prospect of 12 races per day. PERTH RACES-.--TUTIRSDAY h Plate of 50 sous. for three years old, &c. ; . eats. Two miles. Mr. Robertson's Torn Tough, aged ..• (E.

The lady was:afterwards taken at Melmerby, and has since been committed to Carlisle gaol to take her trial for the offence.—Kendal Mercury. The Right Hon. Fox Maule, Secretary at War, is expected to arrive in Grosvenor-street, early in the en suing week, from his shooting quarters in Perthshire. The mortal remains of the late Right Hon. Sir Robert Gordon, G.C.8., were removed from l3almorrel, near Aberdeen, on Thursday last, to Haddo, where the obsequies were to take place yesterday in the presence of the Earl of Aberdeen, and all the members of the deceased's family in Scotland. INCENDIARISM.-5201. REWARD.—Yesterday a re ward of 5201. was offered by the Yorkshire Fire and Life Assurance Company and the neighbouring gentry, for the discovery and conviction of the person or persons who, on the 30th ult., maliciously set fire to a straw stack on the farm of Mr. Charles Lister, of Colby Heath, which communicated to and destroyed other property, amongst which were three stacks of clover, two stacks of bay, and a stack of wheat, which, besides some cart sheds, were totally consumed. THE CAMBRIDGE AND LONDON COACH.--We ven ture to affirm that the starting of the first stage coach that ever took the road did not create half so much of a sensatiop as the departure of the new coach, at ten o'clock on Monday morning, on its first trip to London. The street around the Woolpack Inn was literally mobbed. The street along the pavement to the Petty Cury on one side and to Market-street on the other. In the middle of this assemblage opposite the court-way of the inn, stood the new coach; yes, reader, a veritable bona fide new stage coach, bright and sparkling, with four mag nificent steeds pawing the ground as if they were eager to run a race with the Eastern Counties Railway, or any other line or locomotive in the kingdom. Then there was the guard with his soul-stirring bugle, playing all manner of tunes, from the " Old Hundredth' to the " Laird of cockpen." Each turned to his neighbour with a significant grin, as much as to say, " W e ll, f r i end, don't you think that a phenomenon ? Are we going ra. the backward or forward ? or are gwe standing on our heads ?"

' for the former value, viz., 2s 8d to 3s 4d, and fine 3s Gd to 4s; at auction six cases were taken in at 3s to 3s 2d for middling and good middling. There is but a mo derate quantity on offer of any kind. Nutmegs cannot be obtained upon lower terms, still the home and export de mand has fallen off, and privately only a limited business has been concluded ; whilst 13 eases 6 casks at auction were only in part disposed of. Cloves are wanted, but at moderato prices. Prices remain low for Cinnamon. For Ginger prices remain much the same as those previously current. SneniTs.—On the part of importers 0' Jamaica Rum a strong desire has been shown to realise this wick, and the rates taken by them exhibit a decline on those that existed previously of 2d per gallon, still all kinds met with little attention from exporters or the home trade, and the total sales for the week do not exceed 1.50 puns. Demerara met with a dull sale, and suffered a further decline. Leeward bland met with little attention, and is offered upon further reduced terms; for 100 puns is 10c1 have been taken for proof strength. East India is little required and must again be quoted cheaper ; only 140 puns were sold at is 8d to is 9d proof with certificate. Ha_ vannah is heavy of disposal, and scarcely worth is 6d to Is 7d for proof. There are further arrivals of Rum. Brandy is offered at further reduced rates, but there are few buyers to be met with for any purpose. INDIGO.—To. day during the progress of the sale 1,685 chests were withdrawn, 596 chests passed the sale. Nearly the whole of this quantity consisted of ordinary and low kinds of Bengal and "Oudes, which went off heavily at the rates previously established, viz., 4d to 5d discount. Proprietors bought in 213 chests. Ores. —Although there are sellers of Linseed Oil at further reduced rates, still the purchases made by the home trade have been to a limited extent only, whilst the shipping orders entered into aro unimportant. There is a desire on the part of the crushers to sell at 24s Gd to 24s 9d on the spot. For forward de livery not many buyers are to be met with ; at 25s per cwt there ar e se ll ers . T he supply is on the increase, and will continue so as prices are yet encouraging to the crushers. Rapeseed Oil is not much required, and holders are less firm. Palm has been only in limited request, and fine can be obtained at 33s 6d to 345, low to good 30s to 33s 6d; although there is but a moderate stock here, still holders are desirous to sell. For Cocoa Nut Oil prices rule unusually high in consequence of the scanty sup. ply, and there being several purchases for home consump tion. The sales made in Olive for all purposes have been of little moment, and the stock is on the increase, whilst there is a desire on the part of holders to sell. TaLeow.—This afternoon prices further declined for Tallow, and 46s is the value of fine new P. Y. Candle on the spot. At public sale 78 casks Australian sold at 42s 6d to 455; 142 chests of old Pctersburgh Yellow Candle 455; 30 casks Melted taken in at 46s 9d; 68 casks Italian sold 43s ed to 44s 6:1; 510 casks Taganrog Mutton 44s to 45s 6d; Beef 43s 6tl to 45s 6d.

FOOT'S CRAY, KENT, FRlDAY.—During the day this hitherto peaceful little village has been thrown into a state of the utmost consternation upon its being discovered that during the night a murder had been perpetrated under circumstances far more atrocious, although somewhat similar, to that com mitted by the Quaker, Tawell, some years since. The victims in this instance are John and Ellen Lawson, two children under six years of age, and their mother, Ellen, a woman about 30 years of age. The unfortunate creature who has been thus brutally murdered has, for the last year past, lived in a small but genteel cottage, about half a mile beyond this village, on the road to Mary's Cray, and has hitherto passed for a widow, being visited by a gentleman whom she stated to be a favourite brother, and the only relative with whom she was on friendly terms, In consequence of her marriage having been in oppo sition to the other members of her family. Sus picion was, however, created that such was not alto gether true, from the secrecy with which the visits of the gentl eman i n question were paid; and the discovery of this horrible tragedy has proved beyond doubt that the poor creature was the mistress of the person alluded to. The facts immediately connected with this terrible affair, and which may be relied upon as substantially correct, although briefly stated, are these :—Yester day afternoon the supposed brother paid a visit to the deceased, and, as was her usual practice on such oc casions, she sent her servant girl home for the night to her mother's. Between five and six this morning, as Sergeant Newell, of the local police, was on duty near the cottage of the deceased woman, he saw a man in a dark smock-frock coming from that direction, and as he passed the sergeant he turned his face away as if not wishing to be seen. This induced Newell to turn his light on, and examine him as he passed. The result was, that he saw the other parts of his dress did not correspond with the smock-frock, but there being nothing else suspicious about him the ser geant resumed his beat, and took no further notice of him. When he (the sergeant) arrived in front of the cottage his attention was arrested by the appear ance of an unusual glare of light in the parlour, which showed through the crevices of the shutters. Upon going up the front garden to the street door he discovered, by the smoke which was issuing through the key-hole, that the place was on fire. He instantly gave the alarm, which attracted the attention of two farm labourers who were proceeding to work, and none of them being able to rouse the inmates, the sergeant broke open the parlour shutters, and having forced up the window gained admittance. On their entering they found the hall in an inde scribable state of confusion, everything being strewed about, and in the doorway to the passage lay a heap of women's clothes partly consumed, and two chairs thrown over them, both of which had begun to ignite. The muslin curtains were also in flames, and nearly consumed, Having torn these down they at once ex tinguished them by rolling the carpet over them, and also the fire that was in the doorway. This done they went in search of the inmates, and in proceeding along the passage the sergeant stumbled over the body of a female in her night-clothes. She was to all ap pearance dead, but being warm the sergeant sent one of the men to the house of Mr. Wilson Harris, M.D., for assistance. Having placed the body on tie par lour sofa he went upstairs into the bedroom, where the overturned chairs and bed-clothes on the floor in dicated that a severe struggle had taken place. Passing from thence into a little room at the back, he was horror-stricken on beholding the two children, the boy on the floor, and the girl on the bed, quite dead, and having the appearance of their death being the result of fits, their faces being much distorted, and froth issuing from their mouths and noses. By this time Mr. Harris had arrived, and having seen the poor woman, gave his opinion that she had been dead some hours, and from bruised marks round her throat felt convinced her death had been caused by strangula tion, and that she had afterwards been thrown down the stairs. The children he pronounced to have been killed after their mother, and their deaths . to have been caused by putting prussic acid . down their throats whilst asleep; at least such was his supposition. Fur ther examination of the premises at once showed that after the appalling deed had been committed, the as • sassin had set fire to the place, thinking thereby to obliterate all traces of his guilt. The place having been left in the hands of the police, Sergeant Newell, accompanied by two con stables, at once started on the road to Maidstone, from which town a number of letters, found in de ceased's desk were posted; and also the road taken by the man alluded to, who passed the sergeant a few minutes before the discovery of the horrible deed. As the district coroner has to hold an inquest on the body of a labouring. man (who died suddenly a few inquiry will, back), a t one o ' c l oc k , at t h e Pl oug h, t h e will, in all probability, be opened then, and afterwards adjourned. HALF-PAST THREE, P.M. One of the constables who accompanied the ser geant has just returned, and states that a gentlemanly looking man has been taken into custody on suspicion. He was arrested in a beer-shop in Sw a il e , / , miles from here. Ile had come there mucd'fatsigueewd and excited, a short time previous to his appreh ens i on . His boots and trousers indi ca t e d that he had walked some distance, whilst his coat seemed as if a smock frock had been worn over it • and there is b u t littl e pd n the doubt he is the party whom the serge an t rn When told on what grounds he asse was i taken into custody stody he trembled, and denied all knowledge of the transaction, adding that hi s name was James Rice, and th a t he was a hop-grower, of independent fortune, living at East Parleigh. UrREAT NORTHERN AND AMBERGATE AND NOT TINGHAM RAILWAYS.—We understand that the amalga mation of the Ambergate and Nottingham with the Lon don and York Company was fully discussed at a meeting of the directors of the former company at Nottingham on Wednesday last, when it was unanimously resolved to submit a copy of the terms of the proposed merger to every shareholder, and soon after to summon an extra ordinary meeting of the proprietary, to finally dispose of the question. WOMAN.—In a trial at the Ayr Circuit Court of a man who had cruelly maltreated I , is wife, for which he is to be puuislnd by banishment for seven years, Lord Cockburn remarked incidentally, that it was a fact as disgraceful to th e ma l e sex as i t was honoura bl e to the female, that during all his long experience he had never used once met with an inotance of a wife who had been a bused of and maltreated by h e r h us b an d, even to the iess-box p death, who did not, w h en placed in t he and her wit against him, greatly understate his treatment i in u j n u is ri h es m , e i nt En_ordednh ritourgsii poc shield him, her husband, from p ISEMENT.—A western ELOPEMENT AND ADVERT wife in his own r aper, editor, advertising his runaway goes into more partic o u r la hs r i s than li advertisementeprohahlayt if was obliged to pay f line.

REGISTRATIONS.—(THIS DAY.) CITY OF LONDON. (Before Mr. T. Y. ITCHRISTIE.) ST. BOTOLPH PARISH. In this parish there were nearly 100 claims ; the great majority of the names of the claimants ap peared in the rate-book for the whole rates made during the past year, but none of them were placed upon the lists. The REVISING BARRISTER thought the case one which showed great negligence on the part of the overseers, and he should fine them, therefore, in the sum of 51. The Court, having disposed of the claims, proceeded with the objections, which in this parish were 221 in number. Joseph Abrahams, 125, lloundsditch, was objected to on the ground of his being an alen. The qualification of the defendant having been proved, Mr. Brown asked him whether he was not born in Germany ? The defendant sail that he was. Mr. Brown then asked him whether he had been naturalised. Mr. Smith—Don't answer that question, sir. Mr. Brown considered this a most improper inter ference on the part of Mr. Smith, and trusted that the Court would allow the question to be answered. Mr. Smith said that the party having proved his qualification, was not then bound to answer any ques tion which might even have a tendency of criminat ing or disqualifying himself from the exercise of the franchise. The Court had only to inquire into the qualification of the person, and could not entertain any other question. Mr. Horne, one of Mr. Brown's assistants, was then called, and stated upon oath that the defendant had informed him that he was born in Germany, and that last Tuesday he was again in company with him, and defendant t o ld hi m upon th a t occas i on t h at he had not been naturalised. Mr. Brown (to defendant)—ls that true or not ? Defendan t—l never said anything of the sort. — (Considerable sensation.) Mr. Bro , wn then endeavoured to elicit the fact of the alienship of the defendant from the defendant himself, bat to all the questions put to him, he main tained the utmost silence. The REVISING BARRISTER said that he thought it was unnecessary to occupy the time of the Court by further inquiries on the subject. The defendant had proved his qualification, and if Mr. Brown wished to prove that the defendant was legally incapacitated he must produe direct evidence to show that he was so situated.—Name retained. LAMBETH. (Before J. DEEDS , Esq.) A Court for the revision f the lists of voters for the borough of Lambeth was held at the Sessions- hou.se, Newington, this day. This district comprises the parishes of Lambeth, Camberwell, Newington, and the liberties. The Rev. George Christmas claimed to be admit ted, as tenant . of Verulam Chapel, in the Kenning ton-road, Lain beth, which he rented from the Rev. E. Weare, the proprietor. Some objection was raised to the reverend gentle man's claim, or, the ground of non-occupation and non-payment of rates. . Die BARRI STER said, that a counting-house, a limekiln, even a cowhouse or stable, was held suffi cient to confer a right to vote, and he did not see why a chapel, Nvilich the rev. gentleman rented, should not entitle him to vote. He would consult the sta tute before he decided that the rev. gentleman was or was not exempted legally from the payment of the rates by the nature of the tenement out of which he claimed to vote. PRINCE OF GONZAGA-111ANT1UA. (Frinn the Roman Advertiser.) In The Sun (London paper) of September 18th, we find a remarka toe letter signed " Alexandre Prince de Gonzaga-Mantua, Due of Mantua," which we should insert in these columns if the subject were not of a nature to raise difficulties. The writer (now resident in London) gives his history as follows : lie is grandson of Prince Philip Louis of Gonzaga- Mantua, Prince of Castiglione and Duke of Solferino. This Prinee was, it appears (though the genealogy is not clearly exp la ined), together with the Princes of Gonzaga of Gu.al3talla a descendant of the reigning family of Mantua; and the treaties of the last century enforced that the representatives of the two branches should be rein stated in their possessions. In Article V. of tb e Preliminaries of Vienna (Nov. 18, 1738) it was specified that the Emperor would render justice to the Duke of Gonzaga of Guastalla on his rights t o the Duchy of Mantua. During the 'minority of the writer's grandfather, Austria took p assession of the Duchy of Guastalla, on the death of its last occupant in 1746. In 1792 the Castiglione bi7anch addressed reclamations to the Emperor Leopold 11., who resolved, from a sense of justice, to rest oite their possessions, but was prevented by sudden des it h. At the treaty of Campo-Formio (1797) it was (leclared that the Emperor renounced all his rights 1;o the possessions of Mantua Castiglione ; but two years. dater, Mantua was again tuken posses sion of, and bec aim a part of the Cisalpine Republic. The Duchy (4: Guastalla was purchased in 1539 by the Duke Ferr anti of Gonzaga, an ancestor of the writ*, and hall remained in his family till the incor poration of G.u.astalla by Austria as above mentioned. That Duchy peas afterwards conferred, in spite of protestations :from the family of this writer, upon Maria Luisa o f Parma. The Roman Advertiser of the 2d of October an nounces the arrival of the Prince of Gonza i ga in Rome. Count Sc hi) Jamilpen flinch-, the Netherlands Minister, accompanied by his son, embarked at Blackwell Pier this morning,. on board the General Steam Navigation Company's mien steam-ship for Rotterdam. THE Poi: cE,u TRIALS.—We learn from Berlin that M.

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 15.) SUGAR.—To-day a further fall took place in the value of all kinds of Raw Sugar, as merchants were free sellers, and all parties showing little disposition to do business. West India Muscovado was operated in to a moderate extent, both for scale and pan; whilst easier rates were taken, and the sales amounted to 680, mak ing the total quantity sold for the week 1,970 hhds and trcs, whilst the fall in the value during that time amounted to 6d to is per cwt. REFINED.—To-day further reduced rates were taken for refined goods, still the home trade operated with re luctance, and prices closed at 52s 6d to 53s for standard, and 51s 6d to 52s for brown grocery lumps. Bonded crushed Sugar sells readily at 28s 6d to 29s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was only in limited request, and 3,251 bags at auction went at a decline on former rates of Is, the chief part sold. Madras met with little attention, and 3,077 bags were only in part sold at easier rates, or at a fall on the prices of the last public sale of is to Is 6d. MA URITIIIS.—This afternoon importers of Mauritius Sugar were willing sellers, and 4,788 bags, 228 csks and 78 trcs went at a further fall in the value of 6d to is per cwt. FOREIGN.—There has been a decrease in the export demand for all descriptions of Foreign Sugar this week, and although there are sellers at rather lower rates, still the purchases made by private treaty have been upon a small scale only. The home trade operated with caution, and the demand from our refiners working under bond has been trifling. The supply is yet plentiful of all kinds, and on the part of merchants there is much desire manifested to sell. COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee was operated in with caution, and 147 bales 23 half ditto at auction went at full rates for fine, but other kinds sold at rather lower prices; fine yellow went at 71s to 795, good 63s Gd to 66s Gd, middling 57s Gd to G Is, low middling 555, good ordinary 51s 6d, t r i age 1 4s 6 d to 3186 d, and da maged 14s to 56 5 . Th e market for good ordinary Native Ceylon is dull at 33s per cwt. Cocos.—Although West India is offered upon further reduced terms, still all kinds have been sparingly dealt in, and 338 bags of Trinidad at auction were only in part sold. Foreign is not much required, but as the stock is nearly all in the hands of one party, we have little variation to make known in the value, and 35s to 39s is the worth according to quality. TEA.—Although Congou can be obtained at a further reduction in the value, still all kinds have been operated in with much caution privately, although prices have given way during the last three week id for low and middling kinds, and lid to 2d per lb for good to fine ; still the town and country trade only purchase sufficient for their present use, low as prices arc, and large as the consumption is. Pouchong is dull of sale, the ten dency of prices is downwards. Shong is e re- quired, and can b e obtained upon ouc rather lower terms. Green is dull of sale, and there are sellers at a further reduction in prices, malting the decline during the last three weeks id to ld on common, and 2d to 3d on the better sorts: still the purchases have been to a limited extent only in all kinds. For Pekoe Tea the market has a dull appearance, and there are sellers upon low terms, RICE. —To-day East India Rice was operated in with much caution privately, and 1,364 bags Bengal at public sale were only in part sold at a fall on former rates of 6d, good bold white but rather dusty selling at 13s 6d to 14s. SPICES.—The supply of Cassia Lignea continues to be small, and all descriptions being much in demand, buyers are compelled to pay further advanced rates.
