ESSRS:i),INIEL SMITH and SON have been honoured with instructions from the Proprietor to an nounce that the above truly magnificent and very valuable FitIIIEHOLD ESTATES, together nearly 7,000 statute acres, em bracing some of t he finest land in the county, and almost in a ring fence, will be submitted to PUBLIC S.:LE (if not previously dis posed of by Private Contract). They embrace the important" Manor of Bold," with its splendid mansion, gardens, park, noble woods, lake, and plantations, all In excellent order, and distinguished as " The Bold Hall Estate," and comprising ,within itself at'out 4,300 acres most su perbly timbered, and well stocked with game, also " The Burtonwood: Estate" adjoining, which contains nearly 1,400 acres, very finely timbered, together with " The Sutton Estate " closely contiguous, consisting of about 1,030 acres of excellent land skirting the prosperous and rapidly improving town of St. Helot's, and containing mines of superior coal, and also beds of clay of great value for pottery purposes. The whole of these floe estates are let (with the exception of the parks and demesne farm, which are in hand) to responSble tenants at moderate rents, and produce between 11,0001. and 12,000/. per annum, exclusive of royalties and rents re ceivable from coat mines, which must annually increase. The lining of an advertisement will only admit of a brief outline of the numerous natural and great local advantages of this most important and splendid domain. The Mansion of Bold stands upon a fine ele vated part of the park, which contains about 400 acres, richly studded with noble timber, and sheltered by venerable oak woods of the finest growth. Within the park are the remains of the ancient hall, molded round, and which, from a period little later than the Conquest, has been the sent of the maternal ancestors of the present owner. The Sutton Estate possesses rare advantages is intersected by the London and North-Western, and St. Helen's and ' . Runcorn Gap Railways, and, from its position and nature, its vale e must be annually increased:. The St. Helen's Coal-field, containing an average thickness of 70 feet of coal, is believed to extend under a considerable portion of the Sutton Estate ; part of such mines, are already in lease, and must be the source of a vast revenue. The Sutton Station of the London and .North-Western Railway is distant about a mile from Bold Halt, affording easy access to all parts of the kingdom. Warrington is distant from Bold 54 miles; Liverpool only 14 ; Manchester, 20 ; and London, less than 200. The Bold and Burtonwood Domains and Manors may be purchased without the Sutton Property, which will probably be offered in lots. For further particulars and cards to view the property, and to treat for the purchase, apply at their Offices in Waterloo-place, Pall-mail, London. Particulars may also be had of Messrs.

No. 21, Rue Montorgeuil, Paris. Numberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto bad been considered as incurable by the Faculty, and which in a short time have given way under this treatment, aro most unequivocal proofs of its superiority over every other means as yet employed. It was for a long period of time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure adopted to all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane ful effects of mercury. We aro now arrived at the solution of this problem by the discovery of a mode of treatment at once simple and easy, and which, witlfOut any degree of exaggeration, we can affirm to be infallible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate or of long standing. The method of cure, according to Dr. Albert, is economical and easy, either at home or on a journey, causing not the slightest derangement to the general health, and safe in all seasons and hi all climates.

DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. " Tho question was whether the marriage of a man to his deceased wife's sister was void by the law of Eng land, because, if so void, the acquittal of a •man for bigamy, after the marriage of his deceased wife's sister, and during the life of the said wife's sister, was proper, and ought not to be interfered with."—Newspaper re port of Lord Denman's judgment, " The Queen v Chadwick." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HOUSE. William Henry Capper, collector of rents to Thomas Flight, of Bond - court-house, Walbrook, was brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of having embezzled money. The LORD Alevon said he should adjourn the case until next Wednesday. • The prisoner was then remanded. James Loop, one of the persons charged with Gar dener and Holliday with having defrauded Mr. Gray of cordage to a very considerable amount, and who absconded on Tuesday from his bail, was brought up in the custody of Kibblewhite, 645, who apprehended the whole gang. The trial of Loup was, it was stated, to have taken place on the preceding day, at nine o'clock, but Loup and, Cassell (the latter of whom was - also included in the indictment), did not appear when called in the Central Criminal' Court. Kibblewhite apprehended Loup about four or five hours afterwards. Upon being put to the bar, Loup admitted that he was the man referred to in the warrant. He was at once sent to the Central Criminal Court. 1301 V -STREET. Mrs. Williams, the matron of the Mendicity So ciety, was charged with cruelly beating and kicking a boy, named Maurice Welsh, aged 13, and thereby endangering his life. Mr. Ferguson, chief clerk to the society, attended to hear the case, and stated that the defendant had held the situation of matron for fifteen years without any previous complaint against her. The boy's sister, an Irish girl, stated that she and her brother were employed by the society to pick oakum, in a room set apart for that purpose. The boy gave some offence to the woman who distributed the food, upon which she complained to the defendant, who rushed upon him in a violent manner, knocked him down, and kicked and beat him with a cane while lying on the ground. The boy screamed for help, and on being taken up fainted away. He was afterwards removed to the King's College Hospital. A certificate from the house surgeon of the hospital proved that the boy was suffering from a concussion of the brain and other injuries, and that his life was in danger therefrom. Several other Irish women, all dependent on the Mendicity Society, and present at the time of the oecurrence, admitted the ill-treatment of the boy, but gave their evidence with a reluctance which clearly showed their anxiety to avoid displeasing " the Missus," as they termed the defendant. Mary Ann Shuter, who distributed the food, said that the boy knocked some bread and cheese out of her hand and spat in her face, upon which she com plained;of his conduct to Mrs. Williams, who did no more than just push him down and stamp her foot upon him, as any one else might do, without hurting him. She only stamped upon his legs. The boy cried very loudly and made a great noise, but witness did not believe he was much hurt. Some women went and fetched the cane, and the defendant certainly did strike him with it once or twice while he was on the ground, but not to hurt him much. When the boy got up he walked to his sister, and might have partially fainted; but if he did, Witn ess believed it was through passion more than anything else. She saw his face washed in water. Witness had heard that the boy was much hurt, but it must have been with the fall, as the defendant could not have caused it. She believed that Mrs. Williams sent for the doctor herself. Bridget Daly did not think Mrs. 'Williams hurt the boy much. She had a "mighty way" of " pushing you" by the shoulders, and this was how the boy came to fall ; but she believed he onllnretednded )fainting. The boy cried "Murder," 11 . eat noise, and "Missus" threatened to thrash a with the cane, which she did. She also kicked hi m with the top of her toe when he was down, but not to m hurt him. Mary Brian corroborated most of the evidence of the boy's sister, and said she believed the boy had been " sarcy" to the woman who gave out the food. The defendant denied that she had used any unne cessary violence, although greatly provoked by the boy's refractory conduct. The Court little knew what these boys were. She reminded his Worship that she was the first to send for a doctor when she found how the boy was hurt. Mr. Itercar said, there had been rhuch violence used in correcting the boy, as was admitted on all sides ; and, as he was lying in a dangerous state, he should r eman d th e case for a week. his Worship consented to admit tbo defendant to bail. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—By the law of England, no man can have two wives. Now, taking Lord Denman's ipse dixit in the above case, ought a man who marries a second time, during the life of his real wife, to be acquitted ofbigamy, on the ground that the second marriage was void, and consequently the woman, by second marriage, not his wife—so that he had.not two wives?—" Bi gam y—The crime of having two wives at once."—Johnson's Dic tionary, It the second marriage be void a man cannot have two wives at once. W. D. Ilfracombe, Nov. 22, 1847. THE Bisnor or LONDON...-. The reports which have lately appeared in many of the public journals rela tive to his Lordship's serious indisposition, are, we are happy to say, incorrect,. Although hi s Lordship still suffers from the effect of his late accident, he is suffi• ciently recovered to travel, and on Saturday last he left Brighton for his town residence. A slight contraction of the muscles of the face is the temporary result of his late accident, but the inconvenience eonse quent upon it does not prevent his Lordship from at tending to many of his ordinary duties. His Lordship is still attended by Sir Charles Clarke, his physician. n d Y i e e s a t e r r e i d e a o N v e r cr . eo P , e n n e o h h e e r l e d h !t e n t r ins ee q t e o o t t a h t e t h b e o d y Eas of Louis Cel es t e Le t I sne, aged fifty, a gentleman of colour, well known in the commercial world from the strange vicissitudes and changes of fortune he had met with.

These gentlemen a . c 1 many other advocates of the emancipation of the al 9 ave n s, espoused his cause warmly, brought the subject before the house : of Commons, clearly established his inno cence, and the result was that the deceased and his partners received a large sum of money from the Go vernment as compensation for the losses they had sus tained in consequence of the accusation. The deceased had been ill for some weeks past, and on Sunday died very suddenly while getting out of bed. The jury re turned a verdict of " Natural death." CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday Mr. Bedford held an inquest, at the Grapes, Mount-street, Gros*, nor-square, on the body of Anne Akers, aged 48, who committed suicide on Saturday evening by nearly se vering her head from her body with a razor. From the evidence of the married sister of the deceased, it ap pears that the deceased was not in so destitute a condi. tion as had been asserted. The deceased had shown signs of mental aberration two years ago, and was placed in a lunatic asylum, but was discharged three months since as cured. She could not account for the rash act:of the deceased. Verdict—Temporary insanity. It is stated in a letter from Cracow, of the 15th, that the tomb of M. Zajaskowski, President of the Political Criminal Tribunal, who was assassinated on the 4th, has to be guarded night and day, by strong de tachments of cavalry and infantry, it being reported that the people intended to drag up the body and hang it on a gibber. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) Horatio Nelson West was placed at the bar. It will be recollected that the prisoner was con victed at the June session of feloniously uttering forged scrip of the South- Western Railway Company, but judgment was respited upon a point raised by Mr. Ballantine, the prisoner's counsel, whether rail way scrip constituted an instrument of a character contemplated: by th e statute relating to forgery. There was anot h er indictment, against a person named Charle s F armery, for an offence of the same character, an d t h at indictment was postponed to the present session, as i t was expected that during the interval the Learned Judges would give their deci sion upon the point of law. It appears that the pro secutors, in the anticipation that the decision might be in favour of the prisoner, have since preferred an indictment for misdemeanour against both prisoners, and West was now placed at the bar to take his trial upon that charge. Mr. BALLANTINR, addressing the Court, said that he should apply for a po s tp onemen t o f th e t r i a l f or misdemean our t o the next session. The Judges, he understood, h a d not yet decided upon the point of law submitted to them, an d it might perhaps not be neces sary to proceed at all with the indictment for misde meanour; and as the prisoner had not, of course, taken any steps for his defence upon that charge until the question as to the felony was disposed of, he trusted the Court would consent to his application. Mr. Justice COLTMAN said he was a reasonable he thought that, under the circunlstancea, the appli c ation one, and he sho u ld di rect the indictment for misde meanour to stand over to the next session. Mr. HUDDLESTON then made an application with regard to the other defendant, Farmery, who had been admitted to bail ; and The COURT said, that his trial must also stand over, but the prisoner would be required to surrender at the present session, and enter into fresh recognizances for his future appearance. John Walker, 25, was convicted of uttering coun terfeit coin, after having been convicted of a similar offence, and he was sentenced to be transported/ for seven years. William Jones, alias Cole, pleaded Guilty to a similar charge, and he was also sentenced to be trans ported for seven years. John Chittenden, 42, hop-factor, was indicted for feloniously forging and utterpisr:gwaitnh intent to de fraudorder for the delivery m e o s f s r a s quantity Nash and d o f C0., h0 the ow ners of Pickle Herring Wharf. Mr. Huddleston prosecuted, and ;Mr_ Ballantine defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Collins, a hop-factor in the Borough, had, in the month of October, a quantity of hops at the above wharf, and the prisoner, who was known to him as a broker and dealer in such property, having rece i ved a sample of these hop s , ca ll e d u p on him on the Bth of that month, and told him that he could sell the hops to Messrs. Haines and Son, of Paddington, if he would take 70s. per cwt. for them. Mr. Collins agreed to sell them at that price, and the prisoner was to have all he could get over that amount as commission. Mr. Collins then gave him an order for the delivery of the hopsto Messrs, Haines and Son, and the next day the order in question, purporting to be endorsed by Messrs. Haines at the back of the delivery order of Mr. Collins, was presented at the wharf, and the goods were obtained. According to the evidence of Mr. Haines, he did purchase one of the pockets of hops of the prisoner, but he said he knew nothing more of the transaction; and it appeared that the pri soner dealt with the remaining pockets of hops for his own purposes. The witnesses, who were acquainted with the prisoner, said that he always bore a most excellent character, and had been for twenty years engaged as a hop factor, and it likewise appeared th at at the time of th e tran s action with Mr C o lli ns the prisoner gave a written undertaking to p a y f or t h e hops if Messr s . H a i nes an d S on did no t d o so. Mr. BALLANTINE, for the prisoner, contended that the charge of forgery could not be sustained under these circumstances, and that there was no proof of the least intention on the part of the prisoner to de fraud any person. He submitted that the prisoner had merely acted as the bond fide agent of Mr. Collins, and that though he had represented the hops were intended for Messrs. Haines, he considered he had the right to dispose of them to the beat advan tage, and probably if he had been allowed to do so, he would have paid for them according to the written undertaking he had given. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. MARYLEBON.E. Thomas Duck, a labourer employed to work for the parish of Marylebone, was placed at the bar on the charge of having attempted to poison Jane, his wife, by putting opium into a cup of tea. From the evidence of complainant (a sickly-look ing woman, carrying an infant in her arms), it ap peared that the prisoner had for a long period ill treated her in a most shameful manner. She had lately occupied a back parlour at No. 2, White Lion place, Edgeware road. On the previous evening the prisoner came home to tea, and havin g p oure d out three cups of t ea , s h e sent her little girl out for some milk, and waited at the door till she came back ; having put milk into the cups, the prisoner laid hold of his and up et it, whether by acc id ent or not she could not telf. She poured out another for him, of which he partook, and she drank from her own cup, which had about it a very curious taste, so much so as to induce in her mind a belief that poison had been mixed therein. She emptied what remained into a basin, and finding something adhering to the sides of the cup she took it to a chymist, who told her that there was poison in it. Complainant added that it must have been put into her cup while she was wait ing for the milk. Mr. Falkner, surgeon, Harrow-road, said, that when the cup was brought to him there was some substance adhering to the inside of it, and, from the smell, he had no doubt of its being opium. Pollard, 125 D, who took the prisoner into custody, stated, that the prisoner declared to God that he was perfectly innocent, and alleged that if there was any poison in the cup it must have been placed there by his wife. He was either ill or feigned to he so, and wished for the stomach pump to be applied to himself. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, denied all knowledge of any poison whatever being in the cup, awl asserted that the case had altogether been trumped up against him by his wife, who a few days ago made an attempt, as he verily believed, to induce him to partake of a fresh herring in which poison was no doubt mixed, as she was extremely desirous for him to eat one which she selected from several others which she had been cooking. The MAGISTRATE considered that the matter was at present involved in much mystery, and remanded the prisoner, with liberty for him to put in good bail for his being again forthcoming on Wednesday next. The officer was instructed to make, in the meantime, diligent inquiries of chemists, &c., as to whether either of the parties had purchased opium of them or not. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday an elderly man, named James :Barring ton, a journeyman weaver, was placed at' the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged upon suspicion of having caused the death of a bricklayer's labourer, named William Cheeseman, aged 52. Brooke, a constable of the G division, stated that while on duty in Shoreditch, between seven and eight o'clock on the preceding evening, he was in formed that a man was lying dead in a house in King's Head-court adjoining, who it was suspected had come to his end by unfair means. He immedi ately repaired to a house pointed out to him, No. 3, and upon entering one of the lower rooms found the man Cheeseman seated in a chair before the fire, apparently lifeless. There were several other persons also in the room, amongst whom were the prisoner and a woman who represented herself. as the wife of deceased,, both of whom were intoxicated ; and the latter in answer to his inquiries stated that her hus band had been engaged in an altercation with the prisoner, who had knocked him down, and that he never spoke afterwards. Witness upon this sent for two medical gentlemen, who promptly attended and pronounced the man to be dead, but expressed them selves unable to explain the cause of his death with out a post mortem examination ; and as the circum stances attaching to the occurrence bore a suspicious appearance, the prisoner was taken into custody. Anne Wilson, the woman referred to, stated that after drinking at a neighbouring public-house on the preceding afternoon with the prisoner, a man named Glasse, and the deceased, as whose wife she had passed for the last three years, she retur ne d h ome to pfepare tea, and was shortly after followed by Glasse and the prisoner. In about half an hour they were joined by the deceased, with whom she had a few words, and he ultimately struck her, when the prisoner interposed, in her behalf, and was immediately attacked by the deceased ; a struggle ensued between them, which was terminated by the interference of Glasse, who re moved the prisoner t o th e f urt h er end of the room. and the deceased in endeavouring to renew the stack threw over the table, fell heavily upon the back of his head, and upon raising him up it was discovered that he was dead. The witness stated positively that the prisoner was several yards distant at the time, and she had no recollection whatever of having told the police that he had struck the deceased before he fell, which was not the fact. The man Glasse confirmed the account given by the last witness as to the deceased's death being caused by pitching over the table, but denied that he had himself interfered at all upon the occasion, and prevaricated so much in other particulars that the magistrate reproved him repeatedly. Police -constable Murrell, 60 q, was thereupon called, arid corroborated the testimony of, the other officer,i BrOoke, relative •to the statement the woman had made to him on the previous night; that the deceased had really fallen in consequence of a blow from the prisoner, to which she had likewise added that the quarrel had solely arisen from the jealousy the deceased entertained of the latter, whom she had been acquainted with for two years.. The woman's dattgfiterYwho was present at, the w i as about to r naVe,sometommunication; hut WaS sharply rebuked bylicr mother, who told .her to ...hold her tongue, as - she knew nothing about it, and she did so. The daughter, a girl of 17, was then questioned by the magistrate, but stated that all she knew of the transaction was that she had been sent out upon an errand, leaving the deceased in perfect health, and that upon her return she found him dead. The woman Wilson was also recalled, and on being asked by the magistrate to account for the wide difference in the statements she had made to the police and to himself which were totally opposed to each other, stated that she was so flurried at the time that she scarcely knew what she said. The prisoner, upon being called on for his defence, admitted that he had interposed to protect the woman, as she had stated, but said that he had no recollection of having struck the deceased. Mr. ARNOLD said that the conflicting and contra. dictory statements of the only persons present upon the occasion were such as to involve the case in great suspicion, and he should, therefore, order the prisoner to be remanded to await the result of the post mortem examination by the surgeons. SOUTHWARK. The sum of 51. was received by the magistrate for the poor-box of this court, the donor, "W. D.," re• questing that its receipt might be acknowledged the newspapers. fROTECTIONIST MEETINGS.—The following Peers assembled yesterday at Lord Stanley's:—The Duke of Richmond, Lord Rollo, the Earl of Airlie, the Earl of Dii;by, Viscount Comb ermere , L or d R e d esdale, the Earl of Lucan, the Duke of Buckingham, the Duke of Mon trose, the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Polwarth, the Earl of Sheffield, Viscount Strangford, Lord Sinclair, Lord Gray, Lord Hereford, Lord Southampton, the Marquis of Dovvnshire, Lord Castlemaine, the Earl of Longford, Lord Farnham, the Earl of Selkirk, Lord Colchester, the Earl of Eglintoun, the Earl of Desart, the Earl of Bandon, Lord de Roo, the Earl of Warwick, Lord Lake, the Earl of Wilton, the Earl Stanhope, Lord Colville, the Earl De la Warr, the Earl of Malmesbury, the Mar quis of Exeter, Lord Northwick, the Earl of Carnarvon, the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Stradbroke, the Earl of Cardigan, Viscount Canterbury, Lord Ashburton.

Schneider and Co.:— " 13, Austin-friars, Nov. 22, 1847. " Gentlemen,—Having laid before the committee of Spanish American Bondholders your letter of the 17th inst., the committee request me to state that it is the opinion of the committee, that if you decline to distri bute the funds in your hands towards the Mexican divi denc':s, the same should be invested in Exchequer-bills, and deposited in the Bank of England in your joint names and that of some members of the committee. " I remain, &c., (Signed) "G R. ROBINSON, "Messrs. John Schneider and Co." " 10, New Broad-street Mews, Nov. 23, 1847. " Sir,—ln rEply to your letter of yeaterday's date, we beg to say that the suggestion you make being at variance with the terms of our agreement with the Mexican Government, we must decline to adopt it. " By that agreement, the custody of the fund in ques tion, tor which we only are responsible, is duly provided fur, and will of course continue to be strictly observed. " We are, &c., (Signed) "JOHN SCHNEIDER and CO. " G. R. Robinson, Esq." The following are the letters referred to in the pre ceding communications:— " 13, Austin-friars, Nov. 11, 1847. " Gentlemen—The committee of Spanish American bondholders have received a communication from Mr. .J. Lizardi, of the 3d inst., of which you will receive a copy enclosed. [This letter has been already pub lished.] " The committee beg to inquire, for the information of the bondholders, whether it is your intention to pro ceed to the distribution of the sums which have been remitted to you on account of the dividends on the Mexican debt. " I remain, &c., (Signed) " G. R. ROBINSON, " Messrs. John Schneider and Co." " 10, New Broad-street Mews, Nov. 17, 1847. " Sir,—We have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11th instant, enclosing copy of a communi cation from Mr. M. J. de Lizardi to the committee of Spanish American bondholders, wherein it is stated that the agency of the Mexican Government has been removed from our hands, and placed in those of that gentleman. " The peculiar condition in which this matter stands • renders it necessary that we should go into a brief state ment of its actual position, in doing which we beg to disclaim all intention of speakinz in any other than , terms of the utmost respect of the Mexican Government. It is doubtless to the rapid changes of Administration which have taken place in that country, and the political difficulties consequent on a state of warfare, that the irregular :aspect presented by the proceedings of the Government is to be attributed. " On the arrival in Mexico of the intelligence of the arrangement which took place in London in June of last year in relation to the consolidation of the Mexican foreign debt (a change in the Government having in tervened), that arrangement, as the committee are aware, was not confirmed by the then-existing Government. Notice was, therefore, given to us that our appointment as agents of 'the Government was suspended,' and we were instructed to deliver up to the Mexican Consul all moneys and effects which might be in our possession in relation to the Mexican debt. " The committee immediately intimated to us that it demurred to that order of the Mexican Government, and reminded us of the responsible position in which we stood towards the bondholders.' " Subsequently the Government, on being more fully informed of the particulars of the proceedings which had taken place in relation to the consolidation of the debt, determined on ratifying the act of its minister in London; whereupon we were instructed immediately to resume' the agency. " Subsequently again to this notification, and without any previous intimation to us, we were apprized that the Government had appointed Mr. M. J. de Lizardi its agent in London. " And, since that announcement, a remittance has been made to us in our capacity of agents for this debt. " These proceedings are sufficiently contradictory. Our position in the matter is this. We were induced to undertake on behalf of the Mexican Government the arrangement of a laborious and responsible operation, in consideration of enjoying the legitimate mercantile advantages resulting therefrom. The agency was se cured to us by a condition incorporated into the bonds issued for the debt, and forming part of the agreement with the bondholders. We have performed and shall continue to perform, our part of the contract. We ex pect the Mexican Government on its part to do the same. We respectfully deny the right of that Govern ment to make use of our services and then to deprive us of the return which it had itself stipulated to make to us. " Not having sufficient funds in hand for the purpose, we are of emirs.? unable to pay a dividend to the bond holders. We have submittt d the whole of the pro ceedings in this matter to our legal advisers, who re commend us to mention in the matter the exact position assigned to us by the agreement of June, 1846, and in no re.pect to depart therefrom. The committee will see that we have no other course to pursue. We have the honour, &c., (Signed) "JOHN SCHNEIDER and CO. " G. R..Bobinson, Esq., M.P." THE LORD Citartchr.Loa.—Upon inquiry at the residence of his Lordship yesterday evening, it was stated that he was much better, and had been enabled to leave his bed for a few hours in the course of the day. flis Lordship suffers from a severe cold, but it is hoped that in a few days his health will be quite restored. SIR CHARLES NAPIER VINDICATED.—We have only space enough at present to refer oar naval readers to cur Parliamentary report this day, in which it will be seen that Rear-Admiral - Sir Charles Napier, and with hiss the honour of the naval profession, have been vindicated from the " false and calumnious charges" brought against the gallant Commander-in-Chief. — Herald. The New York packet-ship, Montezuma, Captain Lowber, arrived at Liverpool yesterday, with dates to the 3d, which have, however, been anticipated by the previous arrival of the Ocean Monarch of Boston. ASIIBURTON.—From the depressed state of the northern woollen markets, most of the workmen here and at Buckfastleigh are thrown out of employment. What with the approaching winter and the want of labour, we fear that the working classes of this place, as well as elsewhere, will undergo great privations. MUNICIPAL HONOURS AT A DISCOUNT —The office of Mayor at Exeter is going a-begging. Mr. Snow, banker, who was unanimoasly elected last week, has declined to qualify, and the council is specially con vened for Monday next, to take measures to supply his place. Two of the newly-elected Aldermen, Dr. Pen nell and Mr. Miles, have followed th e examp l e o f t h e Mayor. Th e penalty for non -acceptance of the office of Alderman, is, at present, only 203. ; but by a bye-law passed at the last meeting of the council, which will come into operation in a few weeks, it will in future be 501. The Mayor's penalty, at present 251., will be raised to 1001.—Local Paper. CONYOCATION.—The Convocation met yesterday, and we understand that the address sent down from the Upper House was amended in one or two not unimpor tant particulars. It will, we are informed, be found to imply an earned desire that Convocation may be per mitted to meet for the consideration of the great in terests of the Church; an expression of thanks to her Majesty for giving the royal consent to the measure for securing the separate existence of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor; and a prayer that the Episcopate may be more proportionate to the wants of the Church, and the rapid growth of the population. The question of Dr. Hampden'a appointment was mooted, and a proposition made for petitioning her Majesty to delay a conge d'etire till certain passages in Dr. Hampden's works had been subjected to a careful examination by the proper autho rities. Although there was a general condemnation of the appointment, yet, as many doubted whether it pro perly came within the sphere ;of Convocation to pro nounce upon it, the proposition itself was negatived.— Manchester Guardian. PORTSMOUTH . , Nov. 24.—Rear-Admiral Hornby is ordered to call off Madeira, in her Majesty's ship Asia, with dispatches for her Majesty the Queen Dowa ger. The Belleisle troop ship has sailed. The Terrible was taken out of dock this morning, and is .now fitting under the sheers, and will there take in her new arma- ment. The Kite steamer is to go in dock. PORTSMOUTH Nov. 24.—A message came by elec tric telegraph this morning for a steamer to be h eld _ in readiness to convey Earl Spencer to Osborne House, and at three o'clock this afternoon the Lightning went down to Cowes with his Lordship. It is understood that Earl Spencer waited on her Majesty in his official capacity as Lord Chamberlain, to receive her Majesty's commands on what day and hour it will be convenient for her Majesty to receive the deputation of Peers and Members of the House of Commons to be appointed to preient the Addresses voted by the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday. The Lord Chamberlain returned by the Lightning. in the afternoon. It is expected her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal Family will remainnseeEadirttlzyo. a month at Osborne, as h er M a j esty has been pleased dispense with the atte n d ance of Lord Adolphus_e elarence in the Roy a l y ac h t for that period.r as usual, goes t o Cowes every day f orders. or herMheajFeasitry.% SOCIETY or ARTS.—The third ordinary meeting, of the Society of Arts was held y h e . s t e rid, evening at the Society's house in the Adel a h y e subject of discussion was the very important one of communication between the guard and driver of a railway train, ot which five different schemes were submitted to the Society.

(Signed) H. R. STORKS, Major, Assistant-Adjutant-General:. (From the Graham's Town Journal of Sept. 18.) TUESDAY.—The well-known Kafir Chief Macome arrived in the vicinity of Graham's Town yesterday, but did not enter it, directions being given to his conductors to pursue the more direct route from Botha's Hill to Cypher Fontein, where he would again enter upon the high road to Port Elizabeth, the place of his destination. He was accompanied by his family and a few retainers, the whole party compri• sing 10 men, 26 women, and 52 children—total 88 persons ; with 100 head of cattle, 20 horses, and two waggons. These people are accompanied by Mr. G. Cyrus, the Government Kafir interpreter, who is to proceed with them to Port Elizabeth, where it is understood they are to be placed under the strict surveillance of the resideilt magistrate. For the present they are to be su pplied with prov i s ions at the Government expense. Th e chief is said to be in a very moody hu mour , ev id en tl y reluctant to proceed, and ingenio us i n excuses f or li ngerZ ‘N on the path. Information has been received ox the spoor of Kafirs having b een seen as deep i n the orni..: lY as the Addo Bush, in which it is supposed a good .:11111-r -small parties have sought shelter. Rumour says tit this is part of the Kafirs' plan of operations, it having been determined by them to move simultaneously with our troops, but in an opposite direction, and thus by menacing the colony to divert the British forces from the accomplishment of the object they have in view. We do not attach very great import ance to this report. SATURDAY.—To-day is appointed for the rendez vous of the Burgher forces at Shiloh, whence it is intended to move immediately forward upon the upper part of the Amatola. This division will be under the command of Major Sutton, with Captain Hogg, com mandant of the native levies. Colonel Somerset, with the Mounted Rifles, will move up from the Gola Heights to King William's Town, and a third, or centre division will march from Fort Hare, thus forming a tolerable good chain across the country upon which it is intended to operate. It is not ex pected, however, that much spoil will be taken, or that any very determined resistance will be encoun tered. We believe that his Excellency the Governor will never relax in his exertions until he has accom plished the great task ii:signed by the Queen's Go. vernment —the punishment of the robber hordes of Kaffraria, and the establishment of firm enduring peace throughout this country. Report has been made that five Kafirs, armed with guns, were seen yesterday on the farm of Messrz. Cawoods (the Governmeilt contractors), situated about two miles S.E. of Graham also of two parti es o f K a fi rs, Graham's the colony, were seen last evening 'rowing the Queen's Road, near the finger post, l ea di ng to F or t S rown• Fr om the footmarks o ne o f th ese parties Ins supposed to Albany, kt .a dais of about t wen t y persons, the o gler, half that, number.

This report, coupled with others already stated, is well calculated to induce the most unslumbering vigilance while in the field, and the deepest con sideration as to every measure which may be adopted for the subjugation of the subtle and active enemy. COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OF AN ENGLISH . CAPTAIN AND MS CREW. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. snt,—A few months since I read in your columns au account of the brave Spanish captain who saved the passengers and crew of one of the West India mail steamers, lost in the Gulf of Mexico; he, I believe, re ceived his reward, though not more ample than de served. An act as noble and as daring, if not exceeding: it, has, within these few days, been achieved by s English captain and his craw (if crew they can be called) on these shores. On the morning of Monday, the 14th instant —the hour about four o'clock—the barque Henry, of Liver pool, bound to Cardiff, was wrecked on the dangerous sands called the " Sherweathers," to the southward of this port; there was a heavy sea running at the time, and the ship became a wreck amongst the breakers. The crew took refuge in the rigging for a period, and saw two or three vessels stand towards them, and od again : they gave up all hope in this world, but Providence had ordained it otherwise. The smack William and Jane, of Barnstaple, Hawkins master, stood towards them, and nothing daunted by the scene, standing on, her noble crew (will it be credited?), con sisting of two men! determined to save those in peril, or perish in the attempt—launching their boat, one hand in her, the other in the smack, with stout . hearts and determined p ur p ose , i n t h e m id st o f most i mminent danger to themselves whi c h n ee d no t b e described, they succeeded in rescuing, and restoring to their country and their families, eighteen seamen (the entire crew, except one boy drowned). They landed them at this port, and proceeded on their passage to Newport. How gratifying must be the reflection to.these fine fellows on what they have accomplished. I trust this will not be their sole reward. With such an idea I have forwarded a plain statement of facts te you, hoping that those who may have control over any funds for the purpose, may deem it a case for inquiry, and as deserving of reward as ever can occur; or that those whose " home is on the deep," and well cam picture to themselves the case of the cast-away and their deliverers, may contribute something to these fine fellows as a reward, and as an encouragement to others to stand on and save , as did the brave Hawkins and las man. I have these particulars from the rescued mate, a very respectable man. The captain is much injured and in bed; the former said to me, " They were indeed noble fellows, sir ; and if ever I have the power I never will forget them, and hope they may meet with their re ward." I trust they may. I have the honour to be, Sir, -...

On proceeding to the spot this was found to be true, the sleepers which support the rails being en tirely uncovered. Measures were immediately taken to stop the train which was about to arrive, and which, it appeared, contained three hundred passengers. A ter ' rible disaster was thus prevented. The train expected was the mail train, and it had to go back to a spot at which it could pass on to the other lin e of rails . This caused a delay of three hours , th e t rain havin g only reacted Paris at tight o'clock in the morning, instead of five.—Galignani, Tuesday. ATTEMPT TO MURDER IN NORPOLK.—Sturley, who is charged with the attempt to murder Mr. Samuel Page, at Cawstone, near Norwich, was finally examined on Monday, and fully committed to Norwich Castle for trial at the ensuing assizes. 3. Active operations being about to comMenee against the rebel Sandilla, officers commanding pacts throughout the frontier are informed to exercise ales utmost vigilance in their respective commands ; they will not allow the men to leave their posts in the day time singly or without arms, and they will prohibit them altogether being away after dark. Care must be taken that the cattle are well guarded, and not al. lowed to graze at too great a distance from the post where practicable, one or two mounted men must l sent out with them. 4. The Lieutenant-General Commanding is plowed to authorise the issue of rations to two male citii servants and forage for one horse belonging to Lieu tenant• Colonel Lindsay, Ist battalion 91st Regiment, during that officer's absence from Graham's Town on duty.
