EVENING EDITION. COURT-MARTIAL ON JOHN HENTY. SHEERNESS, FRIDAY, OCT. 30.—The Court was opened at nine o'clock. Mr. James Thomas Duff, an inspector of shipwrights, was examined as to the position of the ladders which were open for passage on the 14th of October. Isaac Townsend, a postman and messenger at the Dockyard, Sheerness, related part of a conversation with Henty after the occurrence, but it was not of im portance. He was a neighbour of Henty's. Henty's character was very good, and he did not know a better warrant officer. James Hider, a leading man of shipwrights in her Majesty's yard at Sheerness, was acting as inspector on the 2d October. Related some conversation that Lad taken place on the night in question between him and others in the Dockyard, but it wes destitute of evidence or interest. He gave the prisoner a good character. Pearce, the inspector, was recalled, and desired to produce the resin which he had found in the house of the prisoner. The resin having been produced, Isaac Townsend was ordered to be recalled. He then stated that having now seen the resin, he was of opinion that it was of a duller and lighter de scription than that which be was in the habit of sell in:. He did not recollect to h Ive seen any other resin of the same kind. Could you distinguish the difference between two qualities of white resin, when either of them was pro duced ?—I doubt that. Is the resin of the same quality as that used inthe dock yard ?—No ; I have never seen anythere but black resin. Joseph Monday---I am an inspector of shipwrights in Sheerness Dockyard. About twenty minutes past five en the evening of the 2d October, I went on board the Csmperdown, for the purr 03C of finding Mr. Henty. I required him to go with me to the Amazon, to see all safe on board there. Mr. Henty went with me. I went to Mr. Henty by the order of Mr. Banes, my f ueman, who sent me to look for Mr. Henty at ten minutes past five. Did y( u inquire for him of tbe labourers on beard ? I did. I called aloud for him on the middle deck, m quarter-deck, repeating it as I came down and c‘tme out of the entering port. I had got as far as the lamp post, about thirty feet from the Camper down, when Mr. Henty came and stood at the enter ing part, and said, " Mr. Monday, do you want to sec me ?" " I have directions." I said, " from Mr. Banes, for you to go with me to the Amazon, to see that all is safe on board." He immediately came on shore and went with tee, and we went on board, and went round that ship and found all safe. I parted from him at the starboard quarter of the Achille. He then asked me who was to go with him on board the Achille, and I slid that rownes, an inspector, would go, and I would set)] him to him. He said that he would wait there for hm, ,1:1(1 I went away. When we separated it wanted twenty-five minuts to six. Cross-ex,:rniiied—Did you descend the Carnperdown lower than the middle deck ?—No. Were there not workmen employed below whom was Henty's duty, in some respects, to watch and ob• scree ?—Yes. May not your calls have escaped the hearing of the prisoner, he being below ?—Yes. Htd not the prisoner to visit the Achille after you 1,4 t him ?—Yes. HaA the prisoner borne a good character for the dis charge of Lis duties ?—Yes, during the time I have known him. Jitn:.s Thomas Duff examined—Did you communi cate any orders to Mr. Henty which you had received Irom Mr. Ba.es?—No, I did not. My orders were only to see tha lights out. D:d you go on board the Camperdown on the 2d October ?—Yes. _ _ - At what time ?—As nearly as I can judge, at thrco quarters pat five. Ho'w soon did you see Mr. Henty after you got on board ?—Within one minute, I should think. Whom did you see there at first ?—The labourers, who had been employed in getting out the ballast. Did you and Mr. Henry search the Camperdown ? We saw that the lights were out. State to the Court what passed during your perambu leion of that ship ?—As soon as I entered the ship I asked the labourers if they had seen the carpenter or w arrant-officer ? I was told he was gone aft. I saw Greening, the man who superintends the shifting of ballast, come to the top of the fore-hatchway, up the ladder way, from the fore cockpit, with his light, which lie turned down in the lantern. I had now reached that spot, and while speaking to a labourer who came up, and asking L im whether he was the last, Henty joined me. I de,ired the men to come up, and said that we would go down. We accordingly went into the fore cockpit, from thesice down on the platform leading to the main hold. I observed to ,Mr. Henty that all was dark enough there. We descended again to the fore cockpit, and I said that we would not cross the cable tiers, it being generally a rough road, and we proceeded up the same ladder way which we had before descended, and went along th e lower gun deck, descending the after cockpit ladder. Mr. Ilenty was behind me, and I proceeded four paces forward, when he called out, " Hofloa! hol)oa! who is there ?" and asked me if I had heard any thing ? Xly answer was " No," but perhaps might be the men on deck, who were just over the place. No farther remark was made relative to the noise. We might have stopped there perhaps a minute, but ad remained silent and dark. We then proceeded up the ladder again, which we had before descended, acd passed along the lower deck to the ballast shoot, where the labourers were still standing inside the ship. I inquired of them if they were all there, meaning all th,i:ir men, who were employed in getting out the bal last. They said " Yes," and I said, " Now all of you bundle out of the port, and if either of you are found leaving the ship after me and the warrant officer, the police will have orders to take charge of you." They fol lowed each other out of the port immediately. I was then going out of the port myself, when Mr. Henty ob served, " There will be no need for both of us to report the lights out." I answered, I did not know that there was, but I should, and immediately proceeded to get out at the port, when Mr. Henty said that he had left his umbrella. I passed over the brow of the rorth basin dock—found Mr. Banes and Mr Peake standing by the side of the Monarch, to whom I re ported the lights to be out, and also named what I had said to the labourers. We then—the two foremen and myseif—walked towards the quadrangle or storehouse, where stood the master shipwright. The two foremen joined in conversation with him, and I had passed on to the blacksmith,' forge, when the bell struck off ringing --that is at ten minutes before six. Did you hear any noise on the orlop deck, when Mr: Henty p F rofessed to hear something ?—None whatever. Did you see any light on the orlop deck, looking for ward or aft ?—None. Did the ship appear to you safe below ?—Quite. Witness then repeated the account Henty gave of the fire, and the way in which he extinguished it. He also underwent a long cross-examination, from which it appeared that a person might have been concealed in the ship without his knowledge, and that all the lights were out when he made his round. James Mitchell=4 am a constable of the dock-police at Sheerness. Did you, on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 3, hear the prisoner tell any person how he put out the fire on board the Camperdo;vn did; I listened to his /statement, and I heard him state how many buckets of wav he threw an the fire on his first going down to the midshipmen's berth ; he raid six or seven ; and he said that he, having done so, had extinguished the fire sufficiently to give the alarm. Did you hear him say that he afterwards returned to the cockpit ?—He said he afterwards went down below again ; and the fire had then burned up as fiercely as ever. That then with six or seven more buckets he extinguished the fire entirely. Cross -examined—The prisoner was speaking to Mr. 'Bois at t# time.. Did only know that you were listening ?—Not thst I know of. How far off did you stand ?—Not above two yards. Did you conside r it to be your duty to listen to a ennversatian which did not concern you, and then to give informatio n of what passed ?—I thought it was my duty to leqrn all about the fire I could. Jams Billing -_I am a labourer in the dock-yard, and war. so on the 2d and 3d of October. Did you fill up the fire-cask on the morning of the dire in the after cockpit of the Camperdown ?—Yes.

FELLOW.CITIZENS,—In the present alarming state of our foreign relations, it is of importance that a repre sentative and his constituents should clearly understand one another. I address you, therefore, for the purpose of ascertaining your views, and of submitting to you my own. An European war seems imminent. Calculate, I be seech you, the consequences of such a war—the des truction of human beings—the injury to our commerce and manufactures, poorly compensated by equal injury to our adversary ; the increase of taxation in this coun try already overburdened by debt—the monetary de rangement—the increase of misery amongst our working classes ; the stimulus given to the vilest feelings of na tional animosity and hatred, which another quarter of a century will not allay. These, and an infinitude of other consequences, equally abhorrent to the feelings and reason, will ensue from an European war. I do not deny that there may be great and noble ob jects, for which it might well become a mighty and ci vilized nation to draw the sword, and where the jus- Ice of the cause will outweigh erery other considera• tioc. But do such causes and motives exist at pre sent ? For what are we then to contend ? Is it to defend free institutions ?—to resist tyranny or ag gression ?—to spread freedom of conscience and thought ?—to overturn the oppressor and succour the oppressed ? No, nor for any other inducement which common sense or a moment's reflection can justify. For what then, I ask, have we incurred the chance of an European war and half unsheathed the sword ? I reply that it is for the purpose of determining which of two semi-barbarians shall possess a few leagues more or less of territory—whether the Sultan or the Pacha of Egypt shall misgovern Syria, or some portion of Syria, or pos• sess some miserable fort in Asia Minor. Gracious God ! what know we, what care we, about such disputes ? What conceivable interest have we in them ? What right have we to meddle with the domestic concerns of the Ottoman empire ? I put these questions to all men of plain and common understanding, and ask for a straightforward answer. Are we going to protect our commerce ? The expense of the smallest war will far exceed the fee-simple of our trade with Syria. Is it to prevent the Russian from seizing Constantinople ? Why, then, have we separated ourselves from the only _ . • • Power which has an equal right and desire with our selves to stay the progress of the Northern Barba rian ? Surely, a stranger or absurder mode of effecting such an obj2ct could not have been devised, than that of renouncing the alliance of France? Is it, as it is said to prevent an European war, which it is sup posed might at soma future period ensue in conse quence of some dissension between the Sultan and the Paella of Egypt' In the 17th and 18th centuries, the personal quarrels of a monarch, the offeaded dignity of a favourite courtier, or the injured vanity of a harlot, were sufficient causes for an European war ; but it is reserved for the wisdom of England, in the 19th cen tury, to go to war to preserve peace. I call then, upon you, my constituents, as men of sober sense and calm judgment—as deeply interested in the preservation of peace and tranquillity—as advo cates of free trade—as opponents of brute lorce—as wishing for the supremacy of reason in international as well as domestic affairs—to come forward and declare yourselves against this yseless interference in concerns which are not our own'. If your great and prosperous city set the example, you will be followed by the other communities of England. Your words will be heard across the Channel, and hailed with satisfaction by our neighbours. The rational and peace-loving amongst the French, who doubtless constitute the majority of that nation, will respond to your cry ; and, fortified by your example, will be able to put down the turbulent spirits, who are eager for war and confusion as the only possible means of realising their insane fancies. Let the two nations of France and England, disre garding the blunders of either Government—despising the chicanery of diplomacy, and the tricks and intrigues of factions—address one another as friends and well wishers in the simple and energetic language of truth. Let us say to them, " We, England and France, are at the head of European civilization, the first nations in the sciences and arts, with similar institutions, an equal love of liberty and good government, and, when united, unsurpassible in power. We have the same interests, the same wants, the same duties to perform towards the human race. Let us then be friends, and friends for ever. Let US treat as mutual enemies all men who at tempt to sow dissension and discord between us." Let such be our instructions to our representatives, and such the language of the House of Commons and the Cham ber of Deputies. In fine, I entreat you, my constituents, to take the first step, by calling a public meeting to exclare your aversion to any interference in the affairs of Syria, and Your earnest desire for a cordial friendship between 'England and France. I have the honour to be, Your obedient servant, \VILLIAM MOLESWORTTL RA.MBURGIL MNIL. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF BOHEMIA, OCT. 20.—A report, probably exaggerated, is generally spread here, that a rising of the people had taken place at Limberg, in which the soldiers of a regiment joined, and which was so serious that it was necessary to employ cannon to quell it.—Leipsig AllgemeineZeitung. BERLIN, OCT. 2..:; -M. Von Grollman, President of thr! Superior Privy' Tribunal, died here on the 21st of this month, having nearly completed the hundredth, year of his age. HANOVER, OCT. 22.—His Majesty the King returned this morning from Brunswick. At the urgent desire of his physicians, his Royal Highness, the Crown Prince left his summer residence yesterday, and, as the Furstcnhof Palace, where he usually resides, is under repair, he has taken apart. ments in the Ernest Augustus hotel. BERLIN, OCT. ‘2.-2.—Yesterday morning a Cabinet messenger arrived at the hotel of the French Legation, and since then nothing is talked of but the preserva tion of peace. Already, on the preceding day, an ex press has brought very pacific accounts, in consequence of which some arrangements that had been previously made have been revoked. BERLIN, Oci. 2.6.—The King has given up his in tention of going this week to the Rhine, and has de ferred his visit till the spring. It is neither the ulti matum of M. Thiers, nor the daily increasing probabi lity of the preservation of peace, but the health of the Queen alone which has caused the King to change his resolution. BERLIN, OCT. 2l . —Nearly five thousand persons of all ranks were at the ball and supper, which his Ma jesty gave yesterday evening, to the deputies who came to do homage, and to the city of Berlin. The company entered first the splendidly illuminated Rittersaal, pre haps the most magnificent apartment that ever was built, in which on one side was the throne, under a canopy of purple ♦elvet, and the other side covered with a costly display of gold and silver plate,' and, what was a significent mark of distinc tion to the citizens received by the King, the silver shieltd which they presented to him, as a memorial of the late imposing ceremony, was by his Majesty's commands fixed immediately over the throne. Never, perhaps, did so simple a symbolic arrangement so deep an impression on an assembly. The effect w ill b e received by the whole nation with the same enthusiasm; we may say that it is an event of importance in the his. tory of the world, that the King b.ds fixed to his throne the shield presented to him by 'nis citizens.

SPAIN. (From the Madrid Gazette of Oct. 22.) The members of the Provisional Junta of. Madrid, and the representatives of the Juntas of the other pro vinces, when they learnt the important news of the spon taneous abdication of Maria Christina of Bourbon, were flattering themselves that they would see fulfilled all the contents of the programme which had been accepted by the Ministry in an explicit and decisive manner. They did not expect to see those conditions reduced to the dissolution of the Cortes, and to the renewal of a third of the Senators. It is notorious, according to the excellent doctrines of the rights of the public, and when co-legislative bodies violate the constitution, by virtue of which they exist and act, they are not only dissolved by right, but are also dispossessed of every legislative power. If the unanimous conviction that the constitutional compact had been violated caused the people to resolve upon resorting to the imperish able right of insurrection, now that the thing has icon decided in an irrevocable manner by the entire nation, could we recognise as legitimate representatives the Senators who had violated their oath, to the danger of our independence and our liberty ? It cannot be even understood how the old members of the Senate who would continue to sit there could be reconstituted by the special authority of the convocation and election of the new Cortes, in order to adopt the measures claimed in the interest of the national manifestation. By so singular a proceeding the Senate would be converted into a heterogeneous body, composed at the same time of legitimate and illegitimate representatives, some of whom would be the organs of popular manifestations, and the others the declared enemies of the a.. orn Con stitution. The Ist September has opened a new era of pol t regeneration. It would not be prudent to reattach it to a period of arbitrary acts and disorder, which must have disappeared for ever. If exceptional and difficult circumstances to be sur• mounted—if the most prompt issue of a dangerous crisis have been compulsory in order to adopt a course of that nature, those whose signatures are hereunto appended ' hope that the most Noble Members of the Provisional ' Junta, being penetrated with the critical circumstances of the day, and recollecting the just demands which have been made to them by the Juntas of Madrid and by the representatives of the other Juntas, will adhere to the dissolution of both the co-legislative bodies. It will be a fresh title to be added to those who already possess eternal esteem and national gratitude. (Here follow the signatures ) Madrid, Oct. 15, 1840. (From the Castellano o' Oct. 22.) If it were feared that the dissolution of the Juntas would displease their members and the partisans of those corporations, it must be admitted that the Re gency has been deceived in its calculation. Its decree offended all the Junta!, without obtaining that which is the most necessary at the present time—the exclusive establishment of a single Government in the country. If the Ministers wish to avoid a great moral responsi bility, they must resume immediately all the powers of the State, without delegating those powers to any others than the authorities legally constituted. Without that condition, it is to be feared that confusion and dis order will go on increasing, and that Spain will be the victim of the most frightful anarchy. For a length of time we are threatened with social dissolution. The vigour of a just and inflexible Government can alone prevent our complete ruin. POISONING CHILDREN AT STOCKPORT. The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the unfor tunate sufferers, Elizabeth and Marianne Sandys, was held at the Vernon Arms on Tuesday, and, by adjourn ment, again on Wednesday and Thursday. The body of Mary O'Neil, of the poisoning of which suspicion attached to Bridget Riley, had been exhumed, but, upon the most minute examination of the contents of the stomach, not the slightest trace of poison could be discovered. The evidence having been concluded, Honor Sandys, mother of the deceased child, Cathe rine, was brought up from the lock-up, and examined respecting the death of the child, which took place in July last. She said it was sick about three weeks be fore it died. She had the measles, and was afterwards attacked with a quinscy. While affected with this, the child could ecarcely breathe. She took her to Dr. Sleddon, who gave her some medicine. She did not take her to any doctor before the quinscy came in her throat. The child was very sick before she died. She was two years and four months old. The prisoner George Sandys was then examined, and his statement was somewhat similar to that of his wife, Honor. The prisoner Ann Sandys was brought from the lock up, and the statement she made at the inquest, on Saturday the 17th instant, was read over to her. She added, that when Airtrinr , ".o p:et . te of bread in her hand, and immediate l y began to t0t,,,,t.. She took the bread from her hand and eat it herself. The child said BEilget Riley had given her some tea, which had sickened her. She did not give the children anything to cat from the time they had left Bridget Riley till after they were taken sick. The prisoner, Robert Sandy's, was then questioned concerning the death of his daughter Elizabeth. His statement was tit milar to that of his wife. With respect to the death of his daughter, Marianne, he stated, he saw her and her sister Jane coming towards home about eleven o'clock in the forenoon of the P2th instant, and, when near home, they began to vomit'. They also vomited as soon as they got into the house. He never had any arsenic in his possession ; and if Elizabeth had died from poison, he did not know how it had been ad. ministered. The cause of death in Marianne, he at tributed to what Bridget Riley had given her. The examination of witnesses being completed about nine o'clock, the whole of the evidence was read over, which occupied about two hours ; after which the in quest adjourned. On Thursday the jury assembled again, and the Coroner proceeded to sum up the evidence. The Jury after some deliberation, recorded their decision as follows:—" In the case of Elizabeth Sandys, we find Ann Sandys guilty of wilful murder; and Robert Sandys guilty of aiding end abetting. In the case of Marianne Sandys, we find Ann Sandys guilty of wilful murder; and Robert Sandys, George Sandys, and Honor Sandys, guilty of aiding and abetting. In the case of Catherine Sandys, we find Honor Sandys guilty of wilful murder." Alter the finding, the following resolution was unani mously adepted by the Court : whichq‘ At the lasted of a d e five long gda a ) u s d , painful th i sjury investigation ryieelscalieti upon to advert to the election of Coroner which must shortly take place for the Stockport district. It ap pears to us that these cases demonstrate the necessity of appointing to that office a person conversant with cri minal law, well acquainted with the law of evidence, and skilled in the examination of witnesses, and that the functions which Coroner's Juries in these and other cases have to discharge, can only be executed with sa tisfaction to themselves and advantage to the public, when their deliberations are presided over and their in vestigations into. the facts of the cases assisted, by a Coroner possessing these qualifications. The jury are also decidedly of opinion that a practising medical m an is wholly unfit and ineligible for the office, not only from his want of the qualifications above stated, but from the nature of his avocations, and liability to be called upon, for instance in midwifery cases, veiy sud denly, and it might happen at a time when (if filling the office of Coroner), he is holding an inquest, to exe cute his proper professional avocations when, it is ma nifest he must neglect his duty either in the one case or the other."—Stockport Chronicle of the 30th.

ST. GEORGE'S BARRACKS.—Ott Thursday afternoon, at about half-past four o'clock, an alarming ac cident occurred at the above barracks. The paving board of the parish of St. Martin-in the-Fields had caused a large quantity of paving -stones, of the weight of several tons, to be piled against the rear wall of St. George's Barracks, and at the time mentioned the wall fell in with a tremendous crash, carrying a quantity of iron and brick work, &c., before it. The stones and bricks flew in every direction ; some penetrated the windows of the bar racks, and others struck two of the sentry boxes, in each of which was a private of the first regiment of the Gre nadier Guards, but happily they escaped without, in jury. It was a miracle that many persons were not killed or seriously injured, as Captain Dowling, Major M`Pher on, and others had just left the spot. It is the customary place for children of the military to play, but in conse quence of the heavy rain which was falling at the time they were confined in-doors. , - THE PROPHET WROE.-This person preached in the Israeliti,h chapel, Manchester -road, Br,:dford, on Sunday.

LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA. The Caledonia, one of the splendid steam-ships en gaged in carrying her Majesty's mail between Liverpool and Halifax, arrived at Liverpool yesterday, after an ex cellent run of little more than 11 days. She experi enced some very boisterous weather, and brought 60 passengers, amongst whom was Mr. Sam. Cunard, the contractor for the line. She sailed from Boston on the 16th, and from Halifax about half-past three P.m. on the 19th inst. The intelligence brought by her is ten days later than that previously received. Election news still form the ehiefl c on t en t s o f these papers. Though still undecided, it seems almost certain that General Harrison will be the next President. In business matters there was hardly any change since the Great Western sailed ; there was a fair amount of business done for the sailing of the steamer in bills on London at 81 a 9 , or 4 dollars 83 cents to 4 dollars 86 c H en o t li s an tl d ie 4 p o or a 4dszl;in Hambur g h 36 . 1 a ;Bremen 78 a 761 ; there was, at these rates, some little demand for specie for shipment. From Canada we learn that th e A c t l a t e ly passed by Parliament for the union of the provinces meets with more opposition than was at first expected ; the oppo nents of the measure state that it will lead to a separa tion of Canada from the mother country. A large meeting of those opposed to the Union was to be held at Quebec on the 14th. We learn from the Quebec Gazette that Major-Ge neral Sir James Macdounel had accepted the command of the troops in Upper Canad a , an d w ill a l so di sc h arge the duties of Lieutenant-Governor o n the d e parture of Sir George Arthur, till the union of the two provinces is proclaimed by Lord Sydenham ; the garrison at Que bec will, on the departure of Sir James, be under the command of Colonel Bowles, of the Guards. The following arc extracts from the New York Papers : UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. We regret to learn that very little progress had been made by the Joint Commission under the Treaty with Mexico for the adjustment of claims of citizens of the United States against Mexico, before their aoijournment for several weeks, which took place some days ago. In accordance with the Convention between the United States and the Government of Mexico, for the adjustment of the claims referred to, the Commissioners of the two countries were to have met on the 7th of July ; and at that time the very respectable Commis sioners appointed on the part of the United States were ready to commence their labours. Owing to some causes with which we are unacquainted, the Commissioners on the part of Meixco did not arrive in this city, the place designated in the Convention for their meeting, until the middle of August. Since the 17th of August, the Commissioners have had regular meetings until within a few days past, when they adjourned for a short time without having esta blished any rules for their future government in the adjtdication of the multifarious claims that will be pre sented to their consideration. A painful anxiety is naturally felt on this subject by the claimants, to whose position the public cannot be supposed to be insensible. FROM FLORID A.-A short time since Lieut. Saun- ders, Dragoons, United States army, being on a scout, captured an Indian warrior on We Kiwa river. After hearing his story, and placing no confidence in it, ordered him to be shot, which was done, and hung him up as a terror and warning to his party. He had about him a portion of tha dresses and trinkets of Foibes's theatricals, and cartridges which were taken from a por tion of Col. Harney's command, who were a short time since shot at the same place.—Sayannali Gccrgian. ENDING 30TH SEPT. 1840. Exports from Ncw Orleans, including 27,911 bales, stock on hand, Oct.

NEW YORK MARKETS, OCT. 15, 1 F.M. COTTON —Since our last review the transactions in Cotton have been limited to about 900 bales, pine'. plly for the manufacturers. There is very little in quiry this morning, and the market is rather drooping. We quote Uplands very ordinary to midd.ing 7 to 91 cents ; fair to good fair and good, 91 a 101 a 101 cents per lb. ; Tennessee and Alabama, n a 10 cents ; fine 111obi:e, Louisiana, &c., Old and New, 101 a 12 a 123 cents. Clayton's Price Current of to-day says :—" Our an nual statement, which we publish to-day, for the year ending 30th ult., shows the amount of the crop to have been 2,177,885 bales. Export to foreign ports, 1,876,003. Home consumption 295,593." It will be observed by the above statement, that there is a very large increase compared with last year; the quantity also exceeds that of any previous year by 376,338 bales. Of the new crop now gathering, about 30,000 bales were received previous to the Ist inst., principally at New Orleans. FLOUR, GRAIN, &c.—Genoese Fiour is taken freely on arrival at 4 dots 87i cents, for eastern markets. Wheat continues to arrive freely, and is rather dull ; 5,000 bushels of Ohio have been taken by the millers at 96 a 98c, and I dol per bushel cash. Western wheat now held at 96 a 102, and southern at 97 a 102 e. Corn is in request and is readily taken by the disti lers at 57 a 58c. cash.

EXTRAORDINARY COURSING. —On Thurs day night, about ten o'clock, the railway train from Paisley to Glasgow started a hare ; and, after a kern run of about two miles, she was overtaken and destroy ed.—Scottish Standard. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY Handel's oratorio, " Samson," was repeated last evening at Exeter-hall, to one of the most crowded r ssemblages we have ever seen, even in that place. Mr. Perry was leader, Mr. Miller presided at the organ, and Mr. Surman was conductor. The band and chorus were on the most extensive scale, and the effect was occasionally most impressive, when above five hundred instrumental and vocal performers joined in a chorus of this favourite oratorio. Madame Caradori Allan, as Dalila, sung with great sweetness and taste the beautiful air, " My faith and truth, 0, Samson prove; But hear me, hear the voice of love ; With love no mortal can be cloyed, All happiness is love enjoyed." We never heard her in better voice, and the da, lighted audience applauded her as loudly as rule and custom permit in the celebration of these sacred performances. Mr. Phillips was very successful as Harapha. H is fine power ful voice is peculiarly fitted for the solemn airs of an oratorio. It has a majesty and a grandeur which on this occasion harmonised well with the sentiments that are supposed to inspire the breasts of those who believed the idol of the Philistines superior in power and glory to the God of the Jews. Some of the other performers went through their parts very respectably, but we cannot help remarking that it must be impossible to keep such a numerous band and chorus in order without incessant rehearsal and drilling ; and in the performances last evening, the truth of the remark was occasionally manifest. The whole performance however went off well, and made a great impression,—a proof of the great excellence of this divine composition, which is nearly a hundred years old, and which is little less admired now than it was in 1743, when it was first produced at Covent Garden, amidst uni versal approbation and applause. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. " An Officer," who writes from Torquay, argues at considerable length on the unfitness of Lord Cardigan to command a regiment, and the folly of Lord Hill in supposing that his injunction to the regiment can re store peace or discipline. We can find room fo: only the conclusion, which proves that in the most despotic countries provocation is admitted in extenuation : " I take leave to relate to them a well authenticated anecdote of the Emperor Nicholas :—An officer tra• yelling with despatches, was changing horses at a small post-town, when the equipage of a General Officer drove up. The General insisted upon taking the horses from the officer's carriage, and affixing them to his own. Vain was all remonstrances ; for the last time tha officer protested in strong but respectful laneu.ige. Irritated at his pertinacity, and the delay, the General turned on him, and using the most opprohrioul terms, struck hive several times with his care. Maddened by this insulc, in a moment tit phrony the young man drew a pistol from his belt, and shot him dead. He fled, was taken, tried, and sentenced to be exe cuted. The sentence was forwarded for the Em peror's approval. It was returned to be revised, with a remark in the Emperor's own hand, That the Court did not appear to have taken the provocation into their consideration.' They revised their sentence, and substituted cashiering as the punishment. The Emperor approved that finding, at the same time he pardoned and restored the officer. • "Surely both the Horse Guards and the Court-martial might learn something from the custorrs of other armies. And they may blush to think that the prin ciples of justice are better understood, and acted up to, by the Northern Autocrat, than by an assembly of Eng lish gentlemen !" We have received also a long letter from a " Re former," Woe&tock, severely censuring Lord Hill's conduct—one from Bath, signed A.C.S., recommend ing the ladies of England to petition the Queen—her self a soldier's daughter—in favour of Captain Rey nolds ; and a very long letter from " A Lover of Jus tice," in favour of Lord Cardigan. We regret we can not find room for those, and many others, that have been communicated within these few days. Sta—ln your paper of the 22d September last, in giving the Report of the Police Court, Worship•street, of the previous day, a long account was given of a charge of robbery made against my son, Allred Louis Nona', by a person of the name of John Anderson, and although there were several inaccuracies, I refrained from making any remark therein, until a decision of the Jury had been given upon such accusation. The trial took place at the Central Criminal Court, on Monday evening last, and no Report having been given thereof in your paper, I have to request you will insert this, or give some publicity of the acquittal of my son, feeling satisfied your intention is to do equal justice to all parties. Without entering into the defence, the prosecutor, upon his cross-examination by Mr. Phillips (who was retained with Mr. Chambers, to defend my son) proved himself to be so utterly void of truth, that the Jury ex pressed themselves, without hearing any of the many persons who were there to prove the fact, that they could not believe him on his oath, and at once acquitted my son, to the great approbation of those present in Court, who acquiesed therein by their plaudits, which were only repressed by the suggestion of the Learned Judge who presided. After the Jury had returned their verdict, they were informed by Mr. Phillips, as the fact was, although they, as twelve men on their oaths, hid decided that they could not believe the prosecutor on his oath, he had twelve more respectable individuals to depose they would not believe the prosecutor on his oath, and the Court was crowded with persons to speak to the cha racter of my son from his childhood, and which also gave satisfaction to the Jury. I have no doubt the original insertion of the matter led to my obtaining such information as saved an inno cent young man from the consequences of as base and unfounded a charge as ever was made ; I therefore con clude, thanking you, and also the Gentlemen of Leaden hall-market, who, although not called, came forward to prove the character of the prosecutor. I am, Sir, your's obediently, L. NORTON, Solicitor. 43, Jewin-street, City, Oct. 29, 1840. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. THURSDAY NIGHT.

The Board of Ordnance have arranged with the Dublin Steam-packet Company for second cabin pas sages being provided for the non-commissioned officers and men of the corps going to or returning from Dublin to Woolwich until April next. Captain Gillespie will succeed to the vacancy on the full pay retired list, vacant by the death of Captain Amherst Wright, who died at Malta in September last. . . Recruiting for the regiment goes on very slowly, a few recruits only having joined the garrison during the month ; and it is not probable the number will increase until some better prospect than 6d. a day after 25 years' service be held out for the men. The small pension is decidedly the cause of men not enlisting in the Royal Artillery, as their pay and other comforts are far supe rior to those of regiments of the line whilst serving. In the early part of next week a number of the gun ners and drivers will be engaged in the marshes making experiments with a shell which explodes only when it strikes an object whether at a distance of 300 or 3,000 yards. A new target is in progress of construction for this experiment. The Nle.ster-General has issued in structions that no strangers or foreigners be admitted to see the practices, or at any other time into the marshes. ACCIDENT TO THE MARQUIS OF NORNIANBY. —We announced some days since that' he Marquis of Nor manby bad unfortunately mct with an accident, which would prevent his return from Mulgrave Castle to his of ficial duties for tome days.

His Lordship is, we are in formed by accounts received this morning, considered better, but is still seriously indisposed.

EVENING EDITION NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. q't,‘• te.naport ship, arrived on Wednesday at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, from Gibraltar. She has on board 1,500 barrels of damaged gunpowder, and 50 32-pounders and four smaller guns. The powder will be landed, and after passing till eugh a certain process will be again rendered serviceable for whatever purpose it may be required. The Salamander steam-frigate, Commander Hastings Reginald Henry, arrived at Woolwich on Tuesday at ternoon, and immediately commenced loading stores from the Royal Arsenal. Amongst the warlike stores were 200 barrels of ball c irtridges and 400 cases of shot. The Duke of Somerset ordnance sloop was loaded at the same time, and their immediate despatch was so urgent that the men belonging to the department of loading vessels worked all night, and were assisted by several drivers of the Royal Artillery with horses and waggons. The stores having been all put on board in an incredibly short time, the Salamander sailed at high water on Wednesday forenoon for Portsmouth, and towing the Duke of Somerset sloop for the same desti nation. The Lightning steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander John Waugh, arrived at Woolwich from Portsmouth, on Thursday afternoon. The Polyphemus steam-vessel sailed on Wednesday for Chatham. The Fearless steam-vessel, second-master H. Brehaut, arrived at Woolwich, from Chatham, Wednesday.

CONVICT-SHIP.—The Lady RALE, commanded by T. B. Oldfield, has been engaged to convey convicts to Hobart-town. She sailed yesterday from Woolwich for Portsmouth. The celebrated organ of the Church of St. Giles', Without Cripplegate, which was built in 1704 by Rein tus Harris, who built the great organ of St Paul's, is to be re-opened on Sunday next, to the great delight of the in habitants, with great additions and improvements. This instrument is said to bo one of the very finest in the City of London. THE YEAR'S HARVEST.—We are ,now tho roughly convinced that we have ourselves under-estimated the probable supply of corn from this harvest ; and that all kinds of white corn will fall more than fifteen per cent. from the average quatatirms of the previous six months. Under such circums anees, there can be no drain of gold or silver for the purehas , _. of foreign corn, aUcr the present h , fl.)4ing tide has spent its force. The speculation is no doubt embirrassing to the B nk, as well as being injurious to those engaged in it. We must briefly refer to s ime of the circum stances v‘hichltave induced us to raise our estimate of supply from this year's harvest, because anything calcu lated to dissipate apprehension concerning the corn trade is of grea importance—seeing its bearing on the foreign exchanges. We have received letters this morning from Scotland and the north of England, which say that more than one half of the corn throughout that part of the kingdom has been secured in pretty fair con dition ; that very little injury has been done by the wet weather; that the crops on the whole will be equal to a full average supply, one letter from a well-informed qteir ter says above an average, and that prices must conse quently be low. We have also assumed the supply from the extreme western counties of England—all lying. that iv be yond Wiltshire—much lower than the yield, now becoming better ascertained, would justify. Those coun ties will furnish more than an average quantity;t and taking the three kinds of white corn into account, ~t 0 _ supply will be in excess of that derived from the il o and t ie t 1839, by more than 25 per cent in measu rement , Bank„.ls. quality incomparable superior to;it.— Circlei ar „ READY RECKONER.—M.dt!
