ROYAL SURREY THEATRE. Lessee, Mrs. F. Davidge, No. 1, Davidge-terrace,Kensington -road, Surrey. Mr. BUNN has the honour of announcing to the public at large that, in consequ nce of the two national theatres, Drury -l an e and Covent-gar .en, of which he has for many years , jointly and severally, had 11,. Management, having both passed into the hands of foreigners, he has entered into an arrangement with the lessee of this theatre, whereby he has become its sole manager, and with the view of sub mitting to their approbation every va:iety of attrafition, especially all the popular productions of his recent management, he begs leave to submit the names of many of the eminent performers who will have the honour of appearing before them. The artistes, whose talents have so long contributed to the public entertainment tat Drury-lane Theatre especially), have, at the sacrifice of every consideration, con sideration, consented to devote their services to the furtherance of Mr. Bunn's, and the list will altogether comprise a phalanx of names never before attempted to be brought together in such an undertak ing. While the chief aim of the direction will be devoted to the ad vancement of English Opera by native talent, the performances will be interspersed with every other class of entertainment, and while it may appear almost incredible to bring together such an array of ta lent, with comparatively confined means, there will be no advance of prices, but the free-list will be altogether done away with, as it would be an insult to make any gentleman a present of 2s. to the Boxes, is. to the Pit, and 6d. to the Gallery.

The inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate suf ferers who lost their lives in the shocking accident that happened on board the Cricket steamer, on the `_'7th of August last, has at length been brought to a conclusion. The jury, after a patient and careful investigation, continued during a period of four weeks, have returned their verdict, finding that the several parties came to their deaths by the bursting of the boiler of the Cricket, and that HENRY Hats- MAN, the engineer on that day, is guilty of man slaughter ; and they further state that " they con sider CLARKE (the man by whom the practice of tying down the safety-valves was first introduced) highly culpable, and unfit to hold the situation of engineer ; and that Mr. SMITU'S conduct was shame fully negligent in not properly investigating the complaint against CLARKE." Nothing that could by a possibility have thrown a light upon the subject-matter of the inquiry was omitted — every fact of the slightest importance was adduced. A gentleman of high scientific attainments, holding the important situation of chief engineer and inspector' 3f machinery of the Royal Navy, was deputed by the Government to inspect and make every necessary experiment anti calculation, in order to test the ma terial of which the exploded boiler was constructed, and to explain the principle on which it acted, the amount of pressure per square inch that must, in all human probability, have arisen before the explosion eeuld have taken place, and every point on which in formation was desirable. The proprietors were re presented by an eminent Queen's Counsel, who at tended every sitting of the Court. The person by whom the boat and the machinery was supplied had also a barrister of considerable ability to watch over his interests. Every person in any way connected with the company were permitted to come forward and to make their statements exculpatory of them selves. CLARKE and lIAISMAN were, at their own request, sworn, and allowed to record their evidence, although as parties implicated in the transaction, and who might possibly have been made criminally re sponsible for their share in the unfortunate occur rence, they were not required to do so. In fact no pains were spared by the Coroner (in justice to whom, and that he may receive the full credit to which his judicious, patient, and disinterested conduct, during the whole investigation, so eminently entitle him, it should be stated, that he will not receive any higher remuneration for the time and labour devoted to the , plo t f r short es t an d most tr i fl i ng inquiry rOl ha .' mated within a few minutes), and <, -• to . / \ tii y with whom he was associated, ;:.,./.*l,_ mie o4 e , ix: dings as perfect as possible, so that ~t3„2.7_, --br u i r -ralor now what. precautions should be r Tr, Zotka*prO the possibility of the recurrence v c ..' : •-1 . . ..1 j, - ;,;' l lik asiegtllt. \s. such prt caution a 1 t 4111106 that, in this courtry, a 7 5 ‘l4 ~ 4t ) '''' . .

Day by day we have witnessed the seeds of disease and death disseminated from decaying and putrid sub stances, from stagnant cesspools, from overcrowded churchyards, deficient sewerage, inadequate ventila tion, and the various other causes by which our bills of mortality are increased, and yet there are to be found persons who object to any legislation on the subject, or to the adoption of those unitary measures by which the health and the lives of their fellow citizens may be preserved. The state of the river steam-boats has long attracted attention, the necessity of an adequate authority being established for the conservancy of the River—the great highway along which so much of our commerce is borne, on which traffic to so vast an extent is carried on, and so many thousands are daily passing, has been uni versally admitted ; but still little, if anything has been done. True it is, there are laws against the over- crowding of vessels, but they are practically inoperative. No person is appointed to see that the regulations are strictly observed, that the boats and engines are properly constructed, and fit to be entrusted with the lives of our fellow-creatures. Like the railways, the mines, and the collieries, they are left entirely in the hands of those who choose to embark in a pecuniary speculation, and human life and limb may be jeopardized to gra tify the cupidity of those who only seek their own individual gain, and who are totally regard less of every consideration that interferes therewith, or by which their actual outlay may be increased. Any punishment inflicted after the occurrence of an accident, whether criminally to the under•agents and subordinates employed, or in the shape of heavy da mages to the proprietors, will be quite insufficient to provide a remedy for the evil. The man who will deliberately hazard his own safety, for example, by tying down the valves, as in the present case, by going into a suspected part of a mine without using the safety-lamp, by over-crowding the boat en trusted to his charge, or by any other species of rash and reckless conduct, will be little influenced by any additional penalty be may be condemned to. The proprietor will balance the increased risk of possible loss by the certainty of present profit, and, until too late, they will disregard what may be obvious to even a casual observer. Habit will reconcile them to the danger that is constantly occurring ; they will slumber contentedly on the volcano. But should they be permitted to involve others in similar peril ? Most certainly not. Our present Government has shown that it is desirous to introduce measures for the preservation of the public health. Let it also regard the public safety ; and wherever a private speculation must necessarily in volve the safety of any portion of the public, let such a surveillance be enforced as will necessarily lead to the adoption of every reasonable precaution and safeguard. By the re-establishment of the Salique law in Spain all the difficulties of succession would be removed, and the KING of the FRENCH effectually check mated. So rational and decisive is this means of ex tricating the Peninsula from its present dynastic dilemmas, that it should obtain the cordial and unani mous assistance of all lovers of Spanish nationality. Those who object to the measure, as an innovation upon the very statute by virtue of which the present SOVEREIGN has been elevated to the throne, lose the recollection that the law, as it originally existed, ex cluded females from the regal authority, and was only abrogated by a hurried decision of the Congress, to satisfy the selfish ambition of a King who had all the capacity for becoming a parricide, and all the foolish ness to distinguish himself as a fanatic. A precedent therefore exists, and a precedent of a very modern and startling character. The proposed change, instead of jeopardizing the power of the Monarch who is at this moment installed in the palace of Madrid, would only stabilitate her influence, would disarm the Monte molinists, would baffle all the perfidious machinations of the Afrancesados, and would immediately tend to the conciliation, if not to the actual identification, of the Moderados and the Progressistas. By returning to the old Salique highway of succession, the perils which beset the Spanish Government along a path way never traversed before the demise of the royal embroiderer of petticoats would be at once and for ever avoided. The development of the national re sources, the facilitation of political progress, and the general restoration of tranquillity to a country which has been unceasingly embroiled during the last half century, would be the immediate consequence of this most astute of all diplomatic evasions. The sharpness would be taken from the sword of her assailants, and the opportunity would be withdrawn from her in triguing enemies by the adoption of such a policy by the Legislature of Spain. An Ararat would be at last felt under the keel—a resting-place after the pro tracted horrors of that moral deluge which has so long flooded the fair provinces of Castile and Navarre, and driven the Ark of the Nation to and fro over the abysses of anarchy, and through the tempests of foreign invasion. That some such ingenious proceeding is essential becomes each day more and more manifest. The vicissitudes of Administrations in Madrid testify the necessity for the adoption of a policy more daring than that hitherto adventured upon by the predeces sors of SALAMANCA. Beyond the frontiers, as well as in the capital, the exigency of the case is visible. It is to be recognised in the council-chambers of the Tuileries, in the drawing-rooms of Malmaison, in a public hotel and a private dwelling-house in London. The fact that the misfortunes accruing to the Spanish dynasty have originated in the immoralities of Alusoz and GODOY.iS not more undeniable than that the miseries of civil contention throughout the pro vinces of Spain have arisen from the rash repudiation of authority by CHARLES IV., and the selfish innova tion contrived beside the death-bed of FERDINAND VII. Had the PRINCE of PEACE never emerged from his original obscurity, the concessions had never been elicited from his SOVEREIGN in the memorable interview at Bayonne. Had the Duke DE Mast- ZARES fingered tobacco instead of crown jewels, the cupidity of CHRISTINA might have abated, and many domestic agonies might have been spared her august and unfortunate daughter. It was when the unnatural quarrel arose in the Escurial between CHARLES IV. and the Prince of the ASTURIAS that the real disasters of the kingdom commenced ; it was when the voice of the Legislative Chamber rescinded the law of many centuries, at the mandate of a dying madman, that difficultiesthethe land of th of the wretched chedu was paniard were s multi plied, and wantonly given over to butcheries and spoliation. The re-establishment of the Saliqu e law, therefore, app6rs to us the most facile and reasonable method of removing the obstacles to the tranquillisation of the kingdom, and the permanent conciliation of the various opposing factions. Were the Congress to regard the matter in this light, and to act accord.. ingly, the views of Louis rIIILIPPE in reference t o the Duchess DE MONTPENSIER would be imme diately thwarted, and the establishment of SpanishanOr leans dynasty on the throne of the Bourbons would appear more than ever impracticable. "'hen,:indeed, might the patriotic Due DE LA VIC TORIA be in a favourable position to serve his coun try, by aiding the cause of Donna ISABELLA, and by throwing into the Administration of SALAXLN,A the popularity which will most effectually render the audacious designs of NARVAEZ innocuous. That Administration has already prepared the way for the revival of the Salique law by those acts of clemency which have endeared the SOVEREIGN to her subjects, and restored many unfortunate exiles and prisoners to liberty, dignity, and riches. With the ulterior hope of seeing the offspring of the Infanta LUISA excluded from the succession by such an enactment as the one to which we have alluded, we regard with a double satisfaction the preliminary measure of the political amnesty. If SALAMANCA only permit his judgment and the judgment of his colleaguestobe guided by the spirit of patriotism, we may speedily anticipate the discomfiture of the treasonous Afran cesados, and may yet behold in ESPARTERO the AVATAR of Spanish independence. A letter from Alexandria of the 9th says-- We are here occupied with the arrival of a Tur kish vessel which came in last evening. She brought to hie Highness the ultimatum which the Forte has sent to the Greek Cabinet. It is said that an order has arrived to MEHEMET ALI to hold a certain num ber of vessels, as well as troops, ready to act against Greece on the first intimation from the Porte. I cannot say to what point we ought to place faith in all these versions and rumours ; we are inclined to believe that the requirements of the Porte are much exaggerated ; and the mystery which is here thrown round the arrival of the Turkish vessel and her mis 3ion, contributes to give birth to conjectures which ought not to be admitted but with great circum spection." The following is the decree appointing a regency, promulgated by the Duke of Lucca after his hasty flight : " We, Charles Louis de Bourbon, Infante of Spain, &c. The state of our health requiring some absolute repose, and being desirous that the expedit ing of the affairs of the State may not be delayed by our temporary absence, and feeling persuaded that our Council of State, composed of the most honour able persons most highly esteemed by the people, will not cease to occupy itself with ardour with the public interests, we have ordained and do ordain as fol lows :—Art. 1. Our Council of State shall have the faculty of expediting the ordinary affairs of the State, as that has been already done during our absence ; but on the occasion it will have besides the direction of all affairs as a Regency of the Government, for which we give it the power, under the presidency of the Marquis Mazzarosa.—Art. 2. According to the terms of our motu proprio of the Ist September, the Council will endeavour to adopt the reforms which it may believe to be useful, rather following, however, than preceding Tuscany. Nevertheless, we do not mean to sanction measures which may injure our rights as Sovereign.—Art. 3. Our President of the Council of State and our Ministers, each in what con cerns him, are charged with the execution of the pre sent ordinance. " Given at Massa Ducale, the 12th September. (Signed) " CHARLES LUDOVIC." The decree was published with the following noti fication : " In the , name of his Royal Highness Charles Louis de Bourbon, Infante of Spain, &c. &c., Duke of Lucca : " The President of the Royal Council of State makes known that his Royal and Imperial Highness our well-beloved Sovereign, having believed it right to suspend for some time, on account of ill-health, the direction of the affairs of the State, has deigned by his venerated ordinance, datel from Massa Ducale, the 12th of this month, to confer on the Royal Council of State the necessary powers, not only for the direction and expedition of all ordinary affairs, but also for the realisation of the benevolent reforms announced and promised in the royal mote proprio of the Ist of this month, which was received with so much joy. " The public will see in this sovereign act a new confirmation of the excellent and paternal intentions of his Royal Highness for the welfare of his beloved subjects. (Signed) "A. MAZZAROSA. " Lucca, the 15th September." It was rumoured that after issuing this decree the Duke had been seen at Parma. The people were greatly irritated at what he had done. The chiefs of the movement represented that his departure was an abdication, and talked of sending a deputation to Florence to beg the Grand Duke to cause the throne of the duchy to be immediately filled up. As on the death of the present Duke of LUCCA, that duchy will be incorporated with Tuscany, it is not improbable that in consequence of the flight of the Duke " leaving the throne vacant," the Grand Duke of Tusc,►NY may comply with the request of the de putation. The Gazzetta di Firenze of-the 16th contains an official letter of the Secretary of Finance to the Gonfaloniere of the Magistracy of Florence, in which we remark the following passages, in allusion to the great national festivity that took place on the 12th : "It is the will of his Imperial and Royal Highness that his sentiments of paternal consolation, and sincere acknowledgment of the popular manifestation of at tachment to his person, be this day formally renewed to you, and it is also his special desire that you com municate the same to the other members of the ma gistracy of Florence, and to the members of the committee, who, together with the magistracy, took a part in directing so successfully a national festi val, so remarkable for exemplary order and tranquil lity, observed throughout during the movement of so great a mass of population, unanimously bent upon expressing its fervent desire of uniting more strenu ously than ever with their prince and father, by whose assistance, seconded by the efforts of all, they justly hope to see everything promoted, that is conducive to the honour and advantage of the nation, that has given new proofs of the noble loyalty and generous intelli gence which distinguishes it. His Highness has at the same time directed that the various municipal banners which the Municipality of Florence offered in homage to his Highness on that evening, be con spicuously placed in the Church of Santa Croce, of this capital, in grateful memory of the event." The intelligence from Palermo is up to the 12th. Tranquillity had not been again disturbed, and the insurrection appeared to be everywhere repressed. On the sth the population of Palermo was thrown into alarm, by the explosion of a certain quantity of powder in the fortress. According to the opinion of the authorities, this explosion was connected with some project of conspiracy. After it took place pre cautions were redoubled, and several domiciliary visits were made. The papers of the Prince GRANATELLI, a very honourable man, were seized. In consequence of the measures taken discontent existed among the the people. Many arrests had been made at Messina, and Major-General LANDI had received the alter ego, that is to say, unlimited powers. On the Bth he published the following proclamation : " 1. Military commissions shall be established in the form and according to the instructions which may be given. 2. As the duty of every good citizen, of every good Messinese, is to unveil every machination, or to denounce those who endeavour to promote such execrable things, I will receive and listen to all those who, apart from all private hate, and only on behalf of :the public welfare, will come and state to me all that may disturb order. Their names shall be buried in the secrets of the police, and a prompt recompense shall be accorded to them, according to the ini‘ portance of the information they may have given. 3. I require that the tribunals shall proceed with the greatest promptitude possible with the prosecutions, which, being of a criminal nature, depend on them, in order that the justice which must punish the guilty may not be delayed, and that good citizens may be re-assured." It was rumoured at Palermo _that the town of Reggio had remained in the power of the insurgents to the 4th. On that day two steamers arrived from Naples with troops, under the command of the Count D'AQUILA. Masters of the fort, the insurgents fired on the troops, and attempted to oppose their disem barkation. The vessels fired some shots, and went to disembark the soldiers at a little distance from the town. Abandoned to their own resources, and not receiving the assistance from Messina which had been promised, the insurgents dispersed after a short struggle. Numerous arrests are said to have been made. Letters from Naples, of the 14th, deny the cor rectness of all the rumours which have been spread of disturbances having taken place in that city. Another letter from Naples, of the 15th, gives the following account of the progress of the insurrection in Calabria : " The insurrection makes progress in Calabria. A provisional Government has been established. Its first act was to abolish the tax on salt, and to change all the functionaries opposed to its views. On the 13th several battalions left Naples for Calabria, Puglia, and the Abruzzi. It is said that the insur gents have been compelled to abandon the fort of Mulazzo, but that nevertheless they increase in num ber. The King has empowered General Landi to organize military commissions at Messina, for the trial of the insurgents who fell into his power. Twenty-five have already been shot. At Reggio the nephew of Romeo would not follow the insurgents in their retreat. He was shot two hours afterwards by the royal troops." The Journal de Constantinople of the 7th announces the defeat of the Albanian rebels by the troops of the SULTAN. The cholera was rapidly approaching Trebizond. A letter from the city, dated Sept. 4, says— " All intercourse is interrupted with Persia, and yet our city can prosper only as the intermediate point between the two empires. The Commissary of the Porte in Kurdistan has just arrived, though with difficulty; Raghb-Agha has organized, well or ill, the administration of Djezireh, Musch, Bayezid, and Diarbekir; but the insurgent kurds often placed him in danger in his peregrinations ; they occupy all the defiles and passages, and levy contributions on every thing that passes, caravans amongst the rest. In Persia, if report is to believed, a revolution is immi nent. Already the palace of the Schah at Teheran with pe ril , theit was rebelsn e , ce w ssr o yt o demanded was regul ar l y b es i ege d . A s a fi re o f musquetry h a d commenced,' and as the life of th e S overe i gn was in come t h to somee ir ;t r r e e r a r r of e s n ge m py e a n t, for the revolution is a military one. It required all Ti the machiavelism of Hadji-Mirza, the Prime Minister„ to free the Schah from the difficulty; he promised the complete payment of what they asked for, and for tht moment he perrn;tted the insurgents to pillage the ' 1 shops. At the end of the month he will have no more t money than at present, but before that period has: elapsed, some expedient or other will turn up, as, for instance, to declare war on Turkey ; already he has ; broken the treaty elaborated with such solemn slow- I ness during six years in our walls, between Nonni-, Effendi and Abdallah." Madrid journals of the 18th have arrived. The Gaceta contains a proclamation addressed by the Captain-General of Navarre to the troops under his command, inviting them to be on their guard! against the emissaries who might seek to sow dis union in their ranks, and preach revolt and insubordi•• nation. From the tenor of that document it was evident that the Captain-General did not mean to designate either the Carlists or Progressistas, but that it was solely directed against the ultra-Moderados, one of whom, Brigadier NOVILAS, had been ordered. to quit Pampeluna and proceed to Saragossa. This may be looked upon as an official sanction to the rumours in circulation as to the attempt o 1 NARVAEZ and the other agents of the French Court to seduce the military from their allegiance. The Gaceta also publishes a decree suppressing the general direction of the navy and replacing it by a junta, the members of which will directly represent the Minister of Marine in the transaction of public business. The Infanta LUISA TERESA (sister of the KING) and her husband the Duke of SESA have arrived in Madrid, and been graciously received by the QUEEN. According to the Heraldo, orders have been sent to the frontiers to prevent ESPARTERO from entering Spain. On such a matter, however, the authority of the Heraldo is worse than apocryphal. The Eco del Comercio publishes an extract from a letter said to have been written by General CORDOVA, the Minister of War, in which he declares that the decree appointing ESPARTERO a Senator, was a deter mination of the QUEEN which the Ministers could not resist. A Carlist band of 104 men has appeared in the neighbourhood of San Roque. MADRID BOLSA, SErT. 18.—The Three per Cents. were done at 261, for cash; the Four per Cents. at 16i ; the Five per Cents. at 17i ; the Debt without Interest at Si ; and the Coupons at 14. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. They all, with the exception of the Debats, com ment on the appointment of M. GUIZOT as President of the Council. The Conservateur, of course, is fulsome in its eulo gies of the new President. The Presse considers the change as of little importance, and the Constitutionnel gives the following sarcastic critique of the policy of the new Prime Minister M. Guizot has become President of the Council. This nomination was not unexpected, and indeed we may say ought to have been made long ago. From the time Marshal Soult gave up the War Department he paid but little attention to the business of the State, and was only nominally President of the Council. If he came to Paris during the session it was all he did. A constitutional fiction carried -a little too far, and which lasted too long, was sub mitted to in thus considering as President of the Council a Minister without a portfolio passing three fourths of the year at more than 150 leagues from the centre of affairs. Several important measures were resolved upon by the Cabinet in the absence of the Marsha], and when it was utterly impossible for him to hare any acquaintance with the facts, while he in a constitutional point of view bore the principal re sponsibility. When once the Ministry resolved to do away with this false and extra-parliamentary state of things, and decided upon having a real president, the choice could not be for a moment doubtful. It re verted legitimately to M. Guizot. This was not be cause he was the directing member of the Cabinet; no one could pretend to this in a Ministry without direction, without a policy, without independent views ; but from his services, from his experience, and, above all, from his talents, M. Guizot was the first among his colleagues. He had as much docility and greater pliability than any one of them. As a writer and as a speaker, the disproportion between him and them was immense. M. Duchatel has a more practi cal mind, a greater understanding of business, a greater fecundity of resources. M. Guizot alone knows how to invest in magnificent language the common miseries, and to furnish to the majorities pretexts for deluding themselves. In fine, upon him falls the bur den of grave discussions, however they may originate. It is therefore but just that, while bearing the whole charges of the presidency, he should enjoy its honours. In a constitutional light, then, we cannot but applaud a nomination which places appearancein accordance with reality, and brings the Cabinet back within parliamen tary rules. As Oppositionists, we can congratulate ourselves upon this. The accession of M. Guizot to the presidency under present circumstances is the most faithful and complete indication of the systeme which gaverns us, and which is personified in M. Guizot. The Liberal party has at last placed before it, face to face, the systeme in all its purity, and there are no longer any ambiguities, any equivocations, any incertitudes. It is henceforth evident to all, that the question is now put to the partizans of reaction, as it was formerly to a famous order—sint ut sunt, aut non sint ! Our situation thus acquires an openness, a distinctness, which the Liberal party can only applaud. But things will remain in their present state. The Guizot the taste conception of business. War Department, the impute to Marshal t a it n l d e h of ab r it r s es o i f de ex n e t r ‘ t v i i o l n l a o n t d g i a v e o o t n o n eipm to e c r tion that all has been in our finances.

It is not only from the want of capacity in the Minister of Public Works, the want of superintendence on th e part of the President of the Council, that the railroads have been a s to divided become out, and multiplied in such a manner injurious to public credit—it is because the systeme, in order to sustain itself, had need of them to convert them into a mint for elec toral purposes. In this, the presidency of M. Guizot ha Minister s o t t e r m o a f d e an firmness in resisting the demands of his colleagues — demands which were the policy. consequences of a commonlt will not render Finances the present Ministry more active or more vigilant, it will not prevent it from enjoyin g : quietly the sweets of the villegiature, though the Exchanges of London and Paris may be in the most alarming crisis, when the Treasury may have exhausted its resources, and can find no one to grant it a loan. Admiral de Mackau was worth as much as much as his successor. It was not frcm want of capacity in him ifour navy has been becom ingas not ydeimpoverished—it e should b e powerful has been because it h and prosperous on the seas. We do not believe that the presidency of M. Guizot will be the commence ment of a new era for our navy, or that he can con vert M. de Montebello into a Colbert, or M. de Trezel into a Demosthenes, or a Richelieu ; and be cause there will be the experience of Marshal Bu geaud at least in Africa, with the superin tendence of M. Guizot at Paris, we do not believe that the affairs of our colony will be conducted with greater intelligence and acti vity, or that the assimilation of Algeria to the mother country will be expedited by one hour. We shall be very much surprised if we see M. Guizot, as President of the Council, bring forth from his port folios, or out of his brain, plans of administration, finance, and colonization, which no one has hitherto ever suspected him of conceiving. 'We shall have no such example of a prompt and complete metamor phosis. All then will go on as in times past, with the same rectitude, the same attention to the inte rests of country, the same elevation of thought, the same attachment to liberal ideas. On no point will the policy of the Government be changed ; the respective positions of parties will remain as they are. The Ministry will be neither weaker nor st ron g er ; m only the state of things will be more reg ular an d ore evident to all the world. Errors and miscon duct can be no longer attributed to the absence of a real chief and the outbreaks of personal independence. A decisive and incontestible experience is about to dissipate the late illusions. M. Guizot is no longer merely the most considerable member of the Cabinet —to superiority of influence and talent he now adds that of rank. He has become the chief, and may make his will prevail. We shall now see whether he has any policy, or whether his policy consists in having none at all." The Union Monarchique insinuates that M. Du- CIIATEL is speculating on the approaching fall of M. GUIZOT in consequence of his crooked foreign policy, but as the KING is tO the full as deeply implicated in the foreign policy of the 29th October as the Minis ter, M. DUCHATEL, if he indulges in any such specu lations, will probably find himself mistaken. After announcing the appointment of M. GUIZOT, the Union Monarchique thus proceeds : " M. Duchatel, after raising some obstacles to the elevation of M. Guizot, has consented to occupy the second place. He, nevertheless, continues to be the man essentially necessary; he considers, perhaps, that our foreign policy may shortly occasion the downfal of M. Guizot, and that he should reserve himself for an impending contingency. The Con servative party regard M. Guizot as totally inefficient, and impute to him the sterile results of the last ses sion. N. Guizot, in a word, is in their eyes a mere man of talent, possessing none of the qualities of a statesman. That party seems anxious to adopt quite a new course, and this cannot be done without sacri ficing the President of the Council." The Dibats has a long article on the English commercial crisis, and is of opinion that the worst is past. It says— " The evil is serious, but the resources of England are almost infinite. The English capitalists are the holders of a great part of the mercantile riches of the world. In such moments as the present they realise this property in every market at once, and it is that which explains the lowness of the funds throughout Europe. Realisations are effected by making sacrifices, but there is drawn from it what is wanted for the present emergency. They reckon on the industry of the country to recover what they may lose. Certainly, if great political complications should be added to the commercial crisis, that crisis might acquire an irresistible force, and sweep away fortunes with the impetuosity of a hurricane, but unless this should happen, which appears to us every day more and more improbable, English commerce will soon see bsetter days, and that is an event which must be de sired for the interest of all Europe." The price of wheat still continues to decline, not withstanding the ravages of the potato disease, which, in the neighbourhood of Caen, has destroyed one tenth of the crop. The sum of 324,047 f. has been collected in France to assist the starving Irish. Mr. SALAMONS has, it is said, succeeded in making arrangements for facilitating the payment of the English shareholders in the Bordeaux and Cette Rail way Company. At a grand Reform banquet, held at St. Quentin on the 19th, M. ODILON BARROT, in censuring the Government for its disgraceful subserviency to Austria and Naples in the affairs of Italy, declared that if Austria interfered, Frenchmen would rise and oblige the Government to support by force the cause of Liberalism in Italy. The applause with which this sentiment was received was enthusiastic.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COUR7'. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) MURDER BY A LUNATIC.--Thomas Macintosh Da vidson, a gentlemanly-looking man, but a confirmed lunatic, was placed at the bar charged with the mur der of Louis Mountford. Upon Mr. Straight, the Clerk of the Arraigns, asking the prisoner whether he was guilty or not, he made no answer. Mr. BODKIN, on behalf of the prosecution, stated that the unfortunate gentleman at the bar was in that state of mind that rendered it totally impossible for him to plead; and he had therefore, under the statute of 31st of Geo. 111., to ask the Court to have the jury sworn to try the state of the prisoner's mind. The jury having been sworn for that purpose, Mr. BODKIN called several witnesses for the pur pose of proving the insanity of the prisoner, among whom were Mr. Cutfield, a surgeon, of Tottenham; Mr. APAlurdo, the surgeon of Newgate ; and Mr. Holding, the deputy surgeon, all of whom gave it as their opinion that he was insane, and incapable of understanding anything, that was then going on. Mr. Cutfield stated that he had attended the prisoner for some time, and the unfortunate victim was the person to whom he was most attached. Mr. Baron PLATT having shortly addressed the jury, they found the prisoner of " Unsound mind." Mr. Baron PLATT—Let the verdict be recorded, and judgment postponed, and let the prisoner remain in the custody he now is until her Alajesty's pleasure shall be known. The prisoner was then removed. THE MURDER. IN MARYLEBONE.—Mary Ann Hunt, the female who was convicted last session of the mur der of an old woman named Mary Stowell, was placed at the bar this morning. The Clerk of the Arraigns then asked her if she had anything to say why execution should not take place upon her for the crime of which she had been convicted. The prisoner, in answer, said that she believed she was with child. Mr. Baron PLATT--A jury of matrons must be empanelled, to see whether or not she is pregnant with a quick child. At half-past one o'clock a jury of matrons was em pannelled and sworn, and Mr. Baron PLATT having told them what their duties were they retired, and after an absence of three-quarters of an hour they returned into court. The Clerk of the Arraigns then asked, whether they found that the prisoner Mary Ann Hunt was pregnant with a quick child or not, to which The forewoman replied that they had all agreed in their verdict that the prisoner was not pregnant with a quick child. _ _ Mr. Baron PLATT—Let her be removed from the bar, and the law must take its course. We understand that such a proceeding has not taken place in this court for the last half century. THAMES.—(THIS DAY.) James Payne was charged with assaulting Mr. William Parker, coal-merchant, 22, Alfred.street, Bow-road. _ _ _ The complainant stated that last night as he was proceeding down the Bow-road, towards his own re sidence, the prisoner suddenly rushed on him, called him a rascal and a swindler, spit in his face, and struck him with his clenched fist. In his defence, the prisoner declared he was a man with a large family, and they were in a very desti tute condition. He was a boot and shoemaker, and had made the . complainant two pair of boots, but could not get the money. He had sued him at the Bow County Court, and obtained a judgment for thirty shillings, but Mr. Parker only laughed at him, and would hold up his leg to him in derision, saying the boots fit uncommonly well. He was aggravated to do what he had done. Mr. YARDLEY—If your story be correct certainly it is a hard case, but that does not justify your as saulting Mr. Parker, for which I fine you 205., or eight days' imprisonment. Prisoner (bursting into tears)—Then I must go to gaol, and my family must starve. Mr. YARDLEY, addressing the complainant, said I think you ought to pay this poor man, and thus prevent his going to prison. Complainant (haughtily)-oh, let him call at my office. Mr. YARDLiI-Stuff, you don't keep your money all at your office. I will take the prisoner's own re cognisance to appear here on Friday next, and if you have not paid him in the interim I shall not inflict the fine. This decision was received with applause, which, however, was instantly checked. SOUTH AMERICA.—LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—By the Alecto, - arrived at Plymouth, we hare advices from Bahia to the 9th ult. There is no change to notice in com mercial affairs. Exchange on England, 271 to 27k. In consequence of the plentiful supply of shipping freights had declined,—to Hamburgh, 80; for the continent, call ing at Cowes, 75 to 80. 'THE lIOLBORN MIDDLE-ROW NUISANCE.—TiIe proceedings at Middle-row, Holborn, where four houses have been pulled down in order to rebuild th em , h ave produced the utmost astonishment amongst all classes of people, as well as the .deepest feelings of regret. The question which you put is continually asked, "Can nothing be done to prevent the perpetuation of this great obstruction in so important a thoroughfare as Hol born?" I really think that Government might under take purchase, on its own responsibility, certain that the House of Commons would not only grant indemnity, but thanks. Where is the Metropolis Improvement Corn mission? Will nobody make an energetic remonstrance to Government against letting slip this favourable oppor tunity for abolishing such a nuisaues as Middle-row, Holborn?—Cerrespondent of the Builder. FALL OF A PRINTING -OFFICE.--Yesterday morn ing the printing-office of Messrs. Taylor and Co., near Dale street, Liverpool, fell .. .down, in cons equence o f t h e walls being u n d erm i ne d by certain excavations going on in the neighbourhood. Fortunately, a timely notice was given to the printers, who made their escape. CHIEF JUSTICESHIP OF 1\ EWFOUNDLAND.—The Government have appointed Mr.. Francis Brady, of the Irish bar, to the office of Chief Justice of Newfoundland. Mr. Brady is a rising barrister, thoroughly well ac quainted with his profession. He is a Roman Catholic, moderate in politics, and taking little part in them. The quantity of wine consumed in France is forty millions of hectolitres. The quantity of wise imported from all countries into England is only 360,000 hecto litres ; so that France consumes upwards of one hundred times as much wine every year as England does. APPROACH OF WINTER —On Sunday the top of Benlomond and neighbouring hills were covered with MM.—North British Nat. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The decline in Cotton at Liverpool this week has been id. per lb. on American, though yesterday prices were again looking firmer. Sales yesterday, 4,000 bales. Railway Shares were rather firm. The following are the principal points in the Bank of England return for the week ending the 18th instant, compared with the statement to the 11th : Notes issued now £22,205,405 Decrease 101,735 Rest, now Increase Public deposits now 8,749,178 Increase Other deposits now Increase 204,080 Seven day and other bills now 816,722 Increase Government Securities, no alteration. Other securities now 18,740,486 Increase Notes reserved now Decrease. Total Bullion now 8,880,490 Decrease 34,582 Active circulation now 91,900 Increase The return is chiefly interesting, as showing the greatly increased amount of securities taken in by the Bank, which, by an addition to its active circulation, and by the partial employment of the augmented deposits, was in a position to assist. It is, we believe, long since the other securities stood at so:high an amount:As to the reduction of bullion, we are still of opinion that it does not arise from exports to foreign parts so much as from the disposition of a few mistrustful individuals to possess either gold or Bank of England notes in times of pres sure, in preference to any other security. Every one in the City is asking particulars concerning the rumour that Messrs. Rogers and Co. have recovered the large amount of notes stolen from them nearly three years since, and so extensively advertised from time to time. We are gratified in b?ing enabled to announ that the rumour is correct. Messrs. Rogers have re ceived back the whole of the notes, which are now de posited for examination at the Bank of England. The sovereigns (1,2001.), stolen at the same time, have been " melted" by the thieves long since, and according to th e statements made Messrs. Rogers lose about 2,500/. The Funds have been rather firm again this morning, but are not looking quite so good just now. There seems to be an impression that in order to participate in the new French loan, certain wealthy parties must bring a good deal of stock to market ; but it may be that due preparation has already been made, the high rate of interest offering profitable temporary employment to money withdrawn from the Funds for a special purpose. Consols have been 86 to 861 for Transfer, and 86k to 86k for Account. East India Stock has been marked 236. Exchequer-bills have been Bs. to ss. premium. The Foreign Bonds have been flat. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 19k; Brazilian Five per Cents., 82k ; Belgian Four-and-a. Half per Cents., 901 to 901 ; and Dutch Four per Cents., 86f. Railway Shares are steady, in the absence of any dealings of importance. The French lines participate in the improved tone. ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent.
