The jur3P-a,ssembled at eleven o'clock. The C RONEE stated, that the bodies of the chil i _ - dren of bery and Hartley had been extiurned on Friday la , under his warrant, and the jury having been c. d together, the identification of the bodies eceased took place by their mothers. Mr. James Dean, surgeon, of Chattens, deposed to the appearances presented by the dead bodies on the post mortem examination, and also to the tests applied by Mr. O'Connor and himself to detect the presence of any deleterious substance. He then proceeded as follows :—There is no doubt on my mind that the children died of arsenic, but the small quantity ob tained is owing to the purgings and vomitings. What we did get was the result of boiling the intestines, and not from anything found in •the stomach, which was quite empty. I attribute the smallness of the quantity also, and the failure of the metallic test, to the absorption of the body. The state , of the preser vation of the body would prove that great absorption must have taken place. We are perfectly satisfied, and have rejected everything at all doubtful; but if the case should be made an assize case, I should bug gest that part of the fluids obtained by boiling should be sent to one of our great chemists. Mr. O'Connor corroborated the evidence of Mr. Dean. Captain Hampton, said he had caused eve superi ntendent o b f e t m h e a E d e l ! y b police, poison, or o t a i r o l : till. oa o uc f ge htohfae it, tm hadiinsuo t n eb se c ee o an u r l c d fho u n hn o ad t d b ibn e e e t t n r a h ecme housedad.e . o f A great deal of evidence was then received, but without at all tending to clear up the mystery • in deed, its tendency wa s t o remove i n a great neas ' urs the suspicions prevalent against Mrs. Barnes.

PURSUANT to a DECREE of the HIGH COURT of CHANCERY, made Ia a cause MELLIS v. MELLIS, the next of kin of JAMES MELLIS, living at his death, or the personal representative, or representatives, of any of them who have since died, are, by their soH3itors, on or before the 2d day of November, 1847, to come in and prove their kindred, and make out their claims, before Sir GIFFIN WILSON, one of the Mas ters of the said Court, at his Chambers in Southampton-tallith gs, Chancery-lane, London, or in default thereof they will be peremp torily excluded the benefit of the said Decree. The said James Meths was a Doctor of Medicine and Senior Su perintf tiding Surgeon of the East India Bengal Medical Establish ment, ant resided at Neemuch, in the Presidency of Bengal, ie the East Indies, for many years, until the beginning of the year 1845, and at the time of Pis death, which happened in the month of March, 1846, was residing at Prospect-place, Maida-hill, in the county of Mid dlesex. RICHARDSON and TALBOT, 47, Bedford-row, Plaintiff's Solicitors. were required for the annual interments in the neigh bourhood of London, amounting to about 50,000 ; but the accommodation afforded by the present ceme teries did not exceed 200 acres, so that there was still a most lamentable deficiency.—(llear, hear.) The resolution was then put and carried unani mou3ly. Mr. C. Ross, after highly eulogising the exertions of Mr. Walker, moved the following resolution : " That the disinterested exertions, the sacrifice of time and money, and the overwhelming evidence brought to bear on society by G. A. Walker, Esq. (who has for years stood almost alone in his labours on this subject), entitle him and the Metropolitan Society for the Abolition of Burials in Towns, to our sincerest respect and gratitude, and we pledge our selves to render them our unbounded support until the pestilential and disgusting system of burying the dead in the midst of the living shall be abolished." Mr. R. TAYLOR, in seconding the resolution, said he had witnessed some of the abominations which had been alluded to. He had seen a pit' dug behind a workhouse, and a dozen bodies placed therein on suc cessive days, the burial service being read over the whole of them at one time.—(Cries of " Shame.") The present system had been the means of spread ing disease and death. And how was a remedy to be provided? It would never be done by pri vate cemeteries, which would fall into the hands of jobbers.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") The right of interment was a common-law right, and instead of private cemetery Acts, a general Act ought to be passed for the whole kingdom. This ought not to be an ecclesiastical but a civil matter.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that when Parliament took up the subject they would not only destroy the physical but the moral poison arising from the detestable bigotry which now existed—a bigotry made use of in order to obtain fees and oppress the people.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution was then agreed to, after another ineffectual attempt on the part of Mr. Carden to obtain a hearing. Mr. ROGERS then moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Mr. GEORGE, overseer of St. Ann's, and agreed to :—" That, for the purposes of carrying out the objects of the petition, and of ob taining full and legislative support, a fund be imme diately raised by subscriptions and donations, which will be received by the honorary secretary, Mr. Charles James Thicke, 17, New Bridge-street ; by any member of the committee ; and by the following bankers :—Messrs.

One is, that Valencia is coming out with 12,000 men to at tack Scott in front, while Alvarez, with 5,000 Pintos, makes a demonstration in the rear. Another report states that Santa Anna has disarmed 3,000 of the Guardia Nacional, having discovered that they were plotting against him. There are several other rumours, unworthy serious attention. But, while this community was indulging in visionary speculations as to what would, probably, be the next intelligence from the seat of war, the te legraph announces the sudden and unexpected return from abroad of General Paredes. At the last accounts he was iu Paris. He reached Vera Cruz on the 14th in the English royal mail steamer Teviot, under an assumed name. The steamer anchored, and Don Martino, passenger from Havannah, leaped into the first boat lying alongside, landed on the mole, and went to his friend, Pepe Zamora, borrowed 40 ounces, three horses, hat, coat, and servant, and was past the gates in less than 30 minutes, with a fast horse and a clear track.

Our worthy friends, Popo, Marker, Shott, and Ramna Ilave all agreed to come, and pleased I am ; And, -Ir, I hope you'll come and join us too, But now I'll tell you what we have ist view. All have agreed to what frienA Popp proposes, That every one shall wear a coat from MOSES ; We think our taste, as sportsmen, will be shown, In wearing shooting-coats which stand alone— Alone in quality—alone in style— Alone In lasting us a long, long while. MOSES and SON deserve support from us, Ani that's the reason I address you thus : I've one of MOSES' coats, and really, Sir, In ev'ry sense its just what I prefer; And yet it cost but very little cash, Pray go to MOSES, like your friend, FRED.

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determ , ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un cornprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to doinestle 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. CULYERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. 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 more 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. 6d.) 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-0 do unto others as he would be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way."

Holloway's Pills are also an infallible remedy for liver complaints, and rank in the highest estimation as a family medicine.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, London. Sir John Key, Bart., was amongst the members present at the Court of Aldermen on Tuesday. Mr. Alderman Copeland took the liberty to inquire of the worthy Baronet whether he intended to remain in Eng land ? Sir John Key made no reply, and Mr. Alderman Musgrove questioned the right of any member of the Court to put such a question to an alderman whose duty was duly performed by others in his absence. After some business had been disposed of, Sir John Key rose, and stated that he had removed to the continent in con sequence of the ill•bealth of Lady K.y. Finding she did not benefit by residing for a time at Cheltenham, he wa induced to remove to Brussels. Her health had improved since she had resided there, and if it continued to amend, he should be enabled to return to England in a few months and perform his duties as a magistrate as punc tually as Were. ABOLITION OF GRAVE-YARDS. A public meeting was held last night at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of peti tioning Parliament for the immediate abolition of burial• places in cities and towns. The chair was taken by B. B. Cabbell, Esq., M.P., and the attend ance was so large that an adjournment to the large room became necessary. Letters, apologising for their absence, were read from Dr. Bowring,M7P.; the Hon. W. Gore , M. P. ; C. Pearson, Esq., M.P. ; E. H orsma n, Esq., M.P. ; T. Duncombe, Esq., M.P. ; W.P. W oo d, Esq., M.P., and several other gentl emen . The CHAIRMAN briefly opened the proceedings. The practice of interring the dead in the midst of the living—a practice introduced in all probability by the superstition of the olden times, but sanctioned and continued from the desire of gain—was one which ought to be abolished, and which must soon give way before the weight of public opinion.—(Ap plause.) It was a matter of astonishment that the city of London should so long have sanctioned a practice productive of such lamentable results, par ticularly amongst the humbler classes, and it was also a matter of astonishment that amidst all the questions of sanitary improvement, the q ue s tion of interment in towns should be co ns id ere d one of minor importance. He trusted, however, that the expression of public feeling on the present occasion would have the effect of calling the attention of the recently-appointed commission to the subject, and that it would re ceive that degree of attention to which it was so justly entitled.—(Applause.) Mr. E. A. WALKER, in rising to move the first resolution, said, that the condition of the burial grounds in the city of London was most disgraceful to humanity, and September, more than any other month in the year, appeared to be 4 .ledicated to the upturnings of the dead. In that month last year the attention of the public was directed to the case of St. Matthew, Friday-street. Within the last few days many remnants of mortality had been shot down in the neighbourhood of Euston-square. Elim Chapel, in Fetter-lane, now stood out in bold relief, and was another proof of what must be expected if the pre sent system should be allowed to continue. In that place, measuring forty feet by forty, thousands of human bodies had been deposited, where space did not exist for as many hundreds.—(Shame.) He wished to call the attention of the meeting to this fact—which he trusted would be borne in mind— that an acre of ground would afford decent burial to 136 adult bodies. He knew no instance of a burial ground extending itself. And what was the inevit able result ? Why, that in some of the grave-yards of London upwards of 3,000 bodies per acre per annum had been interred.—(Loud cries of " Shame.") The average interments in the London places of burial was 2,130 per acre. Mr. Chadwick in his re port gave the following statement : In St. Andrew's Undershaft, the average per acre is ... ••• •• _ 1278 Portugal-street burying-ground ... 1021 St. Dunstan's, Fleet-street •• • ... 1182 St. Dunstan's:in-the-East ... 1210 •.• St. John's, Clerkenwell 3073 St. Mary-at-Hill ... 1159 St. Olave, Tooley-street ... 1257 St. Swithin's ... ••• ... ... 1760 Among the burial-places of the Dissenters it was stated that In Wickliffe Chapel, Stepney, the average per acre is ... ... ••• ••• Enon Chapel, Woolwich ... ... ~, Parker-row, Dockhead ... ... Moorfields ... 1210 1080 1613 1210 Cannon-street-road ••• ... 1109 The case of Enon Chapel, Clement's-lane, had been lung before the public, but he would just remind the meeting of the receipts arising from the burials in a cellar measuring 59 feet by 29 feet. The first funeral took place on the 6th of October, 1822. The receipts in the course of the year amounted to ....£144 15 6 In the year 1823 ... ... ... 165 9 6 1824 ... ... 171 2 0 1825 ... 140 7 6 1826 ... ... 173 3 6 1827 156 7 0 Making a total of ... £951 5 0 (Cries of "shame.") These figures were taken from the Rev. Gentleman's own book. An individual inquired when the burials were dis: continued there ? Mr. WALKER believed they were discontinued in the year 1838, and took some portion of the credit to himself for having closed that burial-place. Mr. Walker then expatiated at some length on the injuries resulting from a contaminated atmosphere, illustrat ing his argument by a reference to an occurrence which took place at Minchinhampton in the year 1843, which is thus described :—" The church and churchyard of Minchinhampton are very old. The latter has served as a burial-ground for the last 500 years, and is consequently densely crowded with dead bodies. In the autumn o f 1843 th e c h urc h was re built, and it became necessary, or was thought expe dient, to lower the surf ace o f t h e grave - yar d w ithi n a foot or two of the remains of those buried. Many bodies were disturbed during this process and re interred. The earth so removed, of a dark colour— saturated, in fact, with the products of human in a fat a l hour, devoted to the p u rposes of agricult ure. About 1,000 cart- l oa d s putrefaction—was, were thus employed —some on a new piece of burial-ground to make the grass grow quickly, some as manure on the neighbouring fields, some in the rector's garden, some in the patron's garden. The seeds of disease were thus widely sown, and the result any man of common sense might have predicted The diffusion of a morbid poison was soon followed by an outbreak of fever in this pre viously healthy locality. The family of the rector and the inhabitants of the street adjoining the church yard were the first attacked, and the greatest suf ferers. The rector lost his wife, his daughter, and his gardener. The patron's gardener also, who had been employed in the unseemly occupation of dres sing flower-beds with human manure, was attacked. In short, wherever the earth had been taken fever followed. The children who attended the Sunday school caught fever as they passed the up-turned surface of the grave -yard, went home, and died ; but they did not communicate the disease to those near them, nor did it arise in any who were not exposed to the cause of its development." In that case, 17 deaths occurred from fever, and there were nearly 200 cases of scarlet fever and measles.—(Hear, hear.) So long as such upturnings of the earth took place, so long would disease and death walk hand-in-hand amongst the population. He trusted speedily to witness the abolition of a system which tended to bring the ministers of religion into contempt, which lowered the standard of morality, and was a foul blot on our boasted civilization.—(Applause.) He begged to move—" That the burial of the dead in- the midst of the living has, in, many instances, led to the sys tematic violation of the feelings of our common humanity ; and that this custom has originated and maintain ed practices which have brought dishonour and disgrace on the national character, degraded re ligion, corrupted public morals, and inflicted incal culable injury on the public health." Mr. CIILJILES SHAW seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. HEALY, who said that of all the parishes in London there was none managed in a more un christianlike manner with regard to in terments than that in which they were now assem bled. Very recristly, in consequence of the alteration of some sewer, a body had been disinterred, which was as fresh as if it had only been buried a fortnight before.—(Hear, hear.) If ministers of religion wished well to the service to which they were dedi cated they ought to attend such meetings as the pre sent, and he regretted that none of the distinguished ministers in Londan had thought proper to attend ; but they had more ithan once been enlightened by the laity, who were def.' rmined to do their duty on this subject.--(Applause.,) There wer e 400 grave - yar d s in the m e tr o p o lis -40 places conspiring against the health of the metropolis—and this, too, under the name of religion. It was thus that religion became desecrated, and he lutd no hesitation in saying that if the people succeede d in their present object, as suc ceed they must, they would do more for religion in this country than anything which had been done for the last ten yearn. Mr. CARDEN, amidst much confusion, cries of " Question," " Chair," &c., also supp or t e d the reso lution, which was put and carried unanimously. Sir CHARLES ALCM., (after many interruptions from Mr. Carden, who pei listed in again addressing the meeting) moved the next resolution :—" That the evils resulting from intramural interments have in creased to an alarm nitig extent, and that a rigid and immediate supervi Sion of burial-places is imperatively demanded, and th at the petition now read be adopted, and that the Che irman of this meeting, B.

N o l es6 than 460 acres THE IRON TRADE. It is gratifying to have again to report the satis factory state of this trade, and the continuance of the steady demand previously noticed. It is the usual practice to withhold orders that are not strictly limited to time over the close of the quarter when they arrive near its termination ; and on the present occasion a stronger motive than usual for such a course exists in the anticipated relaxation of the Bank action, calculated upon in well-informed circles as near at hand. A slight anxiety also may be felt by some with regard to the next quarterly settlements, lest, from the pressure of long-continued high discounts, parties may not be prepared so promptly as hitherto to meet their payments ; the business done in the iron trade has, however, for some time been of that cautious description, and the transactions so bona fide for immediate consumption or consign ment, that any such feeling is altogether groundless, and the various works are kept fully employed. I lonsiderable railway contracts are yet unfinished, and before they are out of hand many mere must be given out. In the Welsh market it appears that for such articles prices have an upward tendency, as also for bars. Hoops and sheet and merchant iron are in good request here, while the foundry trade is more than usually brisk. We have heard that some large foreign orders are in the market for castings; the superiority both in quality and make of this country is now so universally acknowledged, that, together with the vast consumption the con airict structiolv of dian reilroads mitt pr9duce,' full em.- ploymenfb m be calculated uMn id this,l4anch tif the traN long a ter. the pressing demands of our own country have been supplied. The price of pig-iron has hitherto been well maintained; very few pigs remain upon the makers' hands—a considerably less quantity, it is thought, than at the same period of last quarter.—Ar is's Birmingham Gazette. THE CITY OF LONDON SMALL _ DEBTS' ACT. The first court to be held under the new Act, which will take effect on the 29th inst., has been appointed for the 12th of October. In the Act there is a provi sion, similar to the one in the New County Courts' Act, for the recovery of tenements in a summary manner :—" And be it enacted, that when and so soon as the term and interest of the tenant of any house, land, or other corporeal hereditament where the value of the premises, or the rent payable in respect of such tenancy, did not exceed the sum of 501. by the year, and upon which no fine shall have been paid, shall have ended, or shall have been duly determined by a legal notice to quit, and such tenant, or if such tenant do not actually occupy the premises, or oc cupy only a part thereof, any person by whom the same or any part thereof shall be then actually oc cupied, shall neglect or refuse to quit and deliver up possession of the premises, or of such part thereof respectively, it shall be lawful for the landlord or his agent to enter a plaint in the Court, and thereupon a summons shall issue to the person so neglecting or refusing ; and if the tenant or occupier shall not thereupon appear at the time and place appointed and show cause to the contrary, and shall still neglect or refuse to deliver up possession of the premises, or of such part thereof of which he is then in possession to the said landlord or his agent, it shall he lawful for such landlord or agent to give to the Court proof the holding, and of the end or other de termination of the tenancy, with the time or manner thereof, and where the title of the landlord has ac crued since the letting of the premises, the right by which he claims the possession ; and upon proof of the service of the summons, and of the neglect or re fusal of the tenant or occupier, as the case may be, it shall be lawful for the judge to issue a warrant under the seal of the Court to any bailiff of the Court, re quiring and authorising him within a period to be therein named, not less than seven, or more than ten days from the date of such warrant, to give possession of the premises to such landlord or agent, and such warrant shall be a sufficient warrant to the said bailiff to enter upon the premises, with such assistants as he shall deem necessary, and to give possession accord ingly ; provided always that entry upon such warrant shall not be made on a Sunday, Good Friday, or Christmas Day, or at any time except between the hours of nine in the morning and four in the after noon ; provided also that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to protect any person by whom any such warrant shall be sued out of the Court from any action which may be brought against him by any such tenant or occupier for or in respect of such entry and taking possession, where such person had not at the time of suing out of the same as aforesaid, lawful right to the possession of the same premises." A FATAL NEWSPAPER WAR.—We learn verbally, says die Nachitoches Chronicle of the 14th instant, that Mr. Russell, editor of the Red Lander, was killed a few days ago in San Augustine, Texas, by Mr. Kendall, of the San Augustine Shield. A very bitter newspaper controversy had been going on between the parties for several weeks, and finally led to the shedding of blood. Report says that Mr. Kendall and Mr. Russell fired three shots at each other without effect, and that in a day or two after they met again, when Mr. Russell fell mortally wounded. LORD SANDON.—A requisition, headed by Sir Thomas Brancker and many other leading merchants, is now in course of signature, calling upon the Mayor to convene a public meeting, to consider the propriety of presenting a testimonial to Lord Sandon, in acknow ledgment of his services during the sixteen years he has represented Liverpool in Parliament. Upwards of 7001. has been subscribed for the testimouiel—LiverPeol Standard. • NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.—The new postage stamps, intended principally for the pre-payment of foreign letters, were issued on Monday. They are of the value of Is. each, the colour being green, and the form octa gonal, to distinguish them easily from the smaller deno mination of postage stamps at present in use. These stamps may be used for inland as well es foreign postage, but they are chiefly intended for the postage of letters to the United States, India, China, the West Indies, New South Wales, New Zealand, and other places to which the postage is Is. It is understood that other de nominations of postage stamps are hereafter to be issued; and no doubt it will be found desirable to have a four penny or sixpenny stamp, to avoid the inconvenience of the long rows of stamps now frequently required on in land letters. Mdlle. Jenny Lind arrived at Mr. Tait's, New Royal Hotel (where apartments had been previously en gaged for the young lady) on Saturday evening. She appeared much fatigued on reaching the hotel, and we have since learned that she is suffering from cold and sore throat. The symptoms, however, are gentle, and such as give every reason to hope that one or two d a y s ' res t will enable her to fulfil her professional engagements.— Edinburgh Courant of Tuesday, When the mail landed it was discovered who Don Martino was, and search for him was made. The house of Pepe Zamora was surrounded. An Ameri can officer entered it, and was assured by Zamora, that Paredes was not in it. " Has he been here ?" was the question asked. " Yes," replied Zamora, very coolly. " What did he want ?" asked the Ame rican. "He introduced himself to me as General Paredes, and asked me to befriend him, and I told him that I would. 'He then asked me to let him have a jacket, hat, and horses, which I furnished him with immediately; and he has been gone from here two hours. You are weleome to search, but I assure you you will not find him here, and what I tell you is so. There are his coat and hat, which you can take along if you like." This arrival at Vera Cruz of Paredes, and his hasty departure for, probably, Mexico, have given rise to much conjecture and various opinions, as he is known to be strongly prejudiced against the Americans. His taking passage in a British steamer will by some be considered as an unfriendly act of the British Go vernment. It will be said that it was with their knowledge and approbation. Almost every man has an opinion on this subject peculiar to himself. The question is—what can be the object of Paredes ? The general reply is—to promote a revolution and put down Santa Anna. Your correspondent does not concur in this almost universal opinion ; he thinks it most probable that there is an understanding between Paredes and Santa Anna, and that they will unite in an effort to prevent a division of the Mexican empire, and to conduct the war with better hopes of ultimate success. There are those in this city, and probably through. out the United States, who believe, or profess to be lieve, that some understanding exists between Pare des and the British Government. That opinion, they say, is strengthened by the declaration that Lord Palmerston made to the Mexican Minister, that if they were compelled by adverse circumstances to re move the seat of Government from the city of Mexico into the interior, the British Envoy would follow the Government thither. Whatever may be the true state of this question of British interference, it is certain that this war is daily becoming more unpopular. It may be added, I think with truth, that the prospect of a speedy peace is daily becoming more gloomy. The friends of the Administration keep up the farce that Mr. Twist will ultimately effect something in tit fora of of a treaty, and, while 'husking these asi4vancegrof peace, the President. (b uiski, a call, pitincially -upon the Western states, for 1040 additional volunteers, which shows most clearly at the Government en tertains no present hope of peace. Public opinion will now become mere falering and indecisive, until iltretlesillWat develop hi views and intentions: But atafredly nothing ,favourable towards the United S tes can reasonably be anticipated from the sudden appearance of this Mexican General. Mr. Houston, a senator of the United States from the state of Texas, has recently published a letter re lating to the alleged interference of British agents to prevent the annexation of Texas to the United States. Houston was Governor of Texas while the negotia tion was pending, and, in common with other distin guished Texans, was active in promoting the circula tion of the tale that the British Government was intriguing to defeat the annexation. Mr. Houstun now comes out and states that this charge has no foundation in truth, and that it was circulated to alarm the American people, and thus promote the great object of annexation. It having produced the intended effect, he considers it his duty to make this explanation I " A great man has fallen in Israel." Silas Wright, senator of the United States, died suddenly, a few days since, at his residence in St. Lawrence county, in the 53d year of his age. He had filled various public offices, and among them Governor of the state of New York. He was no ordinary man. Mr. Wright exercised a controlling influence with the democratic party, of which he was a distin guished and efficient member. By a kind of common consent he would have been their candidate at the next election for the office of President of the United States. The death of Silas Wright, at the present moment, is therefore an important event, and may, in its con sequences, a ff ect the future policy, foreign and. do mestic, of this country. It will be found no easy matter for the dominant party to fill the space his decease has created. It has already caused some con sternation in their ranks. In another point of view, and in other political ranks, he is a national loss. He was friendly to the Wilmot proviso, and, had he been spared, would have contributed, doubtless, to the settlement of the vexed question of slavery. Lieutenant Rodgers, who was held by the Mexican Government as a spy, and Major Gaines have made their escape from Mexico and arrived in safety at our American camp. The money pressure in England has not affected this country. It continues abundant at moderate interest. _ ----- Sterling exchange is on the rise, but not much in demand.

A , y , RS TRIPLE MURDER IN BELGIUM.—BRUSSELS, SEPT. 11.-It is scarcely possible to conceive the inqui ries which are being made in every part of the country relative to the perpetrators of the triple murder, and several persons have been arrested on suspicion. There is one circumstance that may probably lead to the dis covery—viz.; that, as in the case of the unfortunate Duchess de Praslin, one of the unfortunate young women held in her clenched hand a lock of hair, which she must have torn from the head of the assassin. AMERICAN FREEDOM.—On Tuesday, a seaman, belonging to a New Orleans ship, was brought up at the Liverpool Police-court, charged with committing various assaults. The policeman on duty at the Prince's Dock observed the prisoner on Monday morning, at about half-past six, in Bath-street, striking all passers-by. He followed him, and eventually took him into custody, when he said that that was the way his ship's company had served all the gentlemen in NEW Orleans. He was fined in an amount proportionate to his offence.

Churcb, Islington, 19 swum, In the City attention has been entirely directed to the circumstances connected with the failure of Messrs. Sanderson and Co., and the greatest anxiety still prevails upon the subject, although such facts as have transpired appear to be of a more favourable kind than was at first anticipated. The liabilities of the house to London depositors by whom bills are held as security, are understood to amount to 800,0001. The total of country liabilities of a similar description has not been stated, but they are most probably very extensive. The debts of the firm against which the creditors hold no securities amount to 200,000/. The private property of Mr. Sanderson is estimated at about 140,0001., and that of Mr. Morris, his late partner, including life assurances at about 60,000/. Under these circumstances, the parties who have in vestigated the state of the concern speak favourably of the ultimate prospects of the liquidation, and in the meantime the followinz circular has been issued : " King William-street, Sept. 15, 1847. " Gentlemen,—lt is with extreme pain we have to announce to you that our house is under the neces sity of suspending its business, an event which was wholly unforeseen and unexpected by us. " The retirement, some time ago, of our late partner, Mr. Gard, and r ecen tly th e su dd en an d lamented death of Mr. Sanderson's remaining pa-tner, Mr. Morris, threw upon Mr. Sanderson alone t , e re sponsibility of the concern, the details of w h:ch had been chiefly under the management of his late part ners; and this, with the pressure of the times, has left him no alternative but to proceed to wind up the affairs of the house. He entertains the most sanguine expectations, that ultimately the creditors and cus tomers will sustain no loss whatever. The accounts are being made up with all possible dispatch, and in a very few days they will be in a state to be submitted to those interested. " We are, gentlemen, your faithful obedient ser vants, " SANDERSON and CO." The above letter is satisfactory ; but in connexion with the anticipations it expresses, it must be re marked, that even supposing them to be correctly founded according to the information now obtainable, it would still be impossible to rely upon them at present. A week or two must pass without any further serious failures before it will be right to in dulge any confident feeling as to a comparatively p favourable result, since in the majorily of stoppages which have recently occurred, it is fr, m a deprecia tion of assets subsequent to suspensiutrthat much of undlit, ltimate evil is apprehended. a ppears that a point Ns been raised, which, he peculiar circumstances will be regargrd'by all parties with much Tait], to The effect that the liability of Gard' in the firm still continues, his irtisement it aving been completed by the legal % 'for of a nutil in the Gazette.—Times. The failure of Sanderson and Co. has been the chief subject of conversation in the City; and the most eager anxiety has been manifested to learn whe ther any other firms had " gone," in consequence of the stoppage. There has, of course, been an abun dance of rumours, and every one known to be con nected with the firm has been alluded to as certain to suffer severely from the failure; although, as we mentioned yesterday, Mr. Sanderson has stated po sitively that if a little time is granted all the liabilities of the house will be met without difficulty. The real effect of the failure cannot, however, be immediately known. Those who have for many years depended on the firm for advances on bills must be most seri• ously inconvenienced, and it is confidently stated that the Bank of England cannot afford assistance in this crisis. Her reserve of notes is not of sufficient amount to enable her to come to the relief of the commercial public, as she might have done before the Bank Charter Act placed the limit on her issues. During a time of pressure the Bank will now be obliged, for her own safety, to increase its intensity by limiting her advances and calling in her loans, in stead of adopting her former practice. As her issues are fixed, her reputation is worthless to her. She will not be allowed to throw the shield of her influence and credit over those who are in danger. She cannot lend them the use of her great name during a panic. The bank-notes, which might save thousands from bankruptcy, are locked up in the " issue department." Credit is withheld at the very moment it is most wanted, but will be abundant enough when there is a plethora of gold, when confidence is restored, and when credit is not required. The " currency prin ciple" of the Peel-Lloyd school is now being really carried into effect, and its " beautiful simplicity" of action may be seen by any one. Merchants are sa crificing anything and everything for ready money ; while the banknotes that would readily be lent to them, and would enable them to withstand the crisis, but for the Bank Charter Act, are locked up by the " fixed issue." We think we may state with confi dence that the stoppage of Sanderson and Co. has been occasioned by Sir Robert Peel's Act. They would not have been compelled to suspend payments but for its interference with banking accommodation at a crisis like the present; and, if we mistake not, it will make bankrupts of thousands unless it is modified without delay.—Herald. FIRE IN THE OLD KENT-ROAD.—Last evening between seven and eight o'clock a fire broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr. Monday. a carpenter and builder, in St. Jatnes's-place, Canal Bridge-road, Old Kent-road. The flames originated, it is supposed, from a spark flying from a lighted candle, and in a few minutes the house presented i ne sheet of flame. Attempts were made to extinguish the fire, but without the least success, and the spacious workshops and the piles of wood became ignited. With all possible expedition the various engines reached the scene, and the firemen at once set to work from the Surrey Canal, but, not with. standing the flames, they were n ot subdued until the dwellin g . the immense quantity o f water scat t e red over house, the workshops, and timber-yard were reduced to i s ez : c e ot d lor d a d : n, , gz t e h nt e os a mass of ruins.
