EVKNI.NG EDITION. MONLY MARKET and CITY NEWS (TUESDAY EVENING). r jHRONICLE.—We by no means say that there Rae no parties of influence, and posses,ing access to good information, who were not taken aback by the re ply of the Pasha, because there are such persons in the City who have pertinaciously clung to the belief :that Mehemet would " give in when it came to the push," and may still believe that he will yet yield be fore the blockade is commenced, or at ail events that he will then come to terms with the Four Powers on the best conditions which he can obtain. Opinion in the City is by no means unanimous, however, in that view of the question. The point on which there is no .diversity of opinion, we believe, among commercial men, is in a fixed desire to have no war with France, but there is no small difference of sentiment as to the probable future policy of Mehemet Ali and his son. Much as all parties may be agreed upon the importance of preserving the integrity of the Ottoman empire, there is a deep feeling of jealousy entertained against , the employment of a Russian force to preserve the Sultan ficm the power of Ibrahim, and many people cannot reconcile themselves to that part of the treaty of the Four Powers which necessarily would employ Russian :troops to occupy Constantinople to shield it from the victor of Nezib. It is thought, too, that Russia has no particular dislike to the possibility of being engaged in such a friendly piece of service to the tottering throne of the Sultan ; but if it be allowed that the empire of Turkey is to be maintained in its integral -position, the difficult problem for solution to be asked of those who labour under the fear of Russia, is—in what other way could Turkey be protected from immediate dismemberment? It Ibrahim were aN( wed to retain Syria, Turkey is cut in two ; and if the treaty bad not been executed, Russia would „seem have found occasion to step in single-handed to - rcmove him, and to do that of her own accord, and in her own way, which she can only now do according- to the provisions of the treaty, and in a way perfectly egreeable to the views of the other European powers vie:o are parties to it. If Russia, therefore, should be put in occupation of Constantinople under the treaty, she must quit it by the same instrument which placed her army there, and if she should refuse to yield when required, Russia would thereby inevitably encounter the combined hostility of England, Austria, and Prussia. Considerable anxiety is felt as to the effect which the refuse.) of the Paella may produce upon the cabinet of the "iuileries. POST.— We noticed in our City article of Saturday - that Count Lara was expected in London from Madrid on a financial mission, and ventured, at the same time, to express a hope and confide tee that he was coming for the purpose of making some arrangement that would 41 4 501-4 relief to the bondhold 'rs. We would further Teria.ck, in behalf of this unfo-tunate class of persons, tie; if justice is ever to be dole them, the time would ar now to have arrived. The repeated breaches of 'fa'th towards foreigners, of which the Spanish Govern ment have been guilty, are excused by persons of loose morals on the ground that the Carlist faction was to be ex tinguished at all hazards—even at the expense of national ;honour. Well, the Carlist faction is now effectually ex- Itine otshed, and it is not, perhaps, too much to assume rthatalte leading men in Spain are becoming impatient tto see the character of the nation rescued from the Icandal that has been brought upon it by the treacher oes acts of Mendizabal and others of that stamp, in coaneetion with the treasury depsrtmcnt. No honest and 1 onourable Spaniard can be content to see his coontry nu:de a mere cockpit of by a set of unprin reiplcd speculators and gamblers, wherever they may carry mn their disreputable traffic. The public obligations of .Sp-ain have been for some time past considered as the wrist desperate of what are, in Stock Exchange phrase ology, called " sporting securities." The very term is one that must surely wound the pride of every Spaniard who has a drop of Castilian blood in his veins. The in• digniitiy cannot but be as gall and wormwood to him ; and Tv(. er'.a well understand, therefore, the anxiety that must be :eft by many to purify the Spanish name from the foul stigma that the financial manoeuvres of her minis :tcrs end their agents have cast upon it. General Alava we know, deeply distressed at what has been going ign since he was appointed to the London embassy. He has been fully alive to the complaints of the bona fide creditors of his nation, and we may be very sure his Excei:eacy has neglected no opportunity that presented itself of communicating on the subject with the Mi nistr', at Madrid, so that they might be made sensible of the odium which attached to them, and of the em- Jr.rrassments to which he is personally exposed, as the - representative of their Queen. It is on these grounds alone that we put the construction we do upon the visit of Count Lara to the British capital. The indem nity bonds, to the creation of which the English Govern nit at were made a party, require instant attention. l'iAt claims of the Treasury bondholders, hacked .11S1 they are by the triple guarantees of the Queen Regent, the Prime Minister of the day, and the Certes, are equally pressing ; and as soon as provision is mede for the payment of these or the dividends upoi, them, and what other specific interests there may be to provide for, the bulk of the creditors of Spain she ut•.l be called together, and a plan submitted to them for the adjustment of the general claims. The Active dr of was quoted at the Stock Exchange, on the 23d of 18:3,5, at the price of 721. per cent. If we add to that quotation the four years' interest now due upon it, it ghoul(' be worth, to the holder, 92/., whereas the utmost it will fetch is 261. ; the enormous decline of 66/. per cent. having been caused by a total and blind neglect of one engagement after another on the port of the Spanish Government. The terms proposed 14y Mr. Thornton for the settlement of the British •c s lairais on Portugal might serve as an outline for the guidance of Count Lara. We would suggest that, in the meanwhile, the farce and masquerade of a mock drawing of Deferred Stock in the Plaza del Sol, and 47 laking it into Active, the whole being passive and in active together, should, in common decency, be forth with discontinued. Such an exhibition only creates disgust. Count Lara is to be reminded that Toreno pared down the foreign debt to two-thirds of its original amount in 1834, and that it is quite expected of him that ne should have come prepared with the most ample gur,rantees and information, and with a sincere desire to do HERALD.—Although in the present disturbed state of polities among the great powers of Europe Foreign Stocks attract less attention than home, yet a rather notable fail occurred in Spanish to-day, the Active Stock with the May Coupons having fallen to `24i } - to 1, in consequence, of course, of another commotion and Ministerial revelujon. As the people at Barcelona deemed tnems•lves en, iticd to force on the Queen Re gent a Cabinet of the r own, those of Valencia consi alered themselves at the least equally entitled. And so they serenaded the poor Queen Regent with the demand for another change, and her unfortunate Majesty was obliged to comply. As the matter of who shall be Minister or who shall be Sovereign is now clearly in the hands of the different armies ow foot, it will be for the interest of the bondholders to support that side, with money arid vessels of war it need be, which shall offer the best :premium and the choicest security for the satisfaction of tiieir claims. Some idle apprehensions have been started that Lord Palmerston might oppose any hostile demonstrations of the bondholders, but these must be utterly fallacious, since us he chose to authorise or to 'wink at the enrolment and despatch of forces so cruelly Lied to slaughter and defeat under Col. Evans, he could hardly oppose, after having served his own turn, any ex• ertions or armaments of the bondholders to provide for their own interests. Affairs in the Spanish quarter look cruelly bad for the bondholders, ,;altl:ough for loan contractors any event which Mali depress prices and enable them to buy up bonds as near the rwe of waste paper as possible— bonds which they themselves had sold as the best of all pile securities, and with immense profit, at about 70—cvnuld be hailed by them as the most fortunate of casualties ; and in fitting and more fortunate seasons f 0 ,.. Spain afterwards, they would he more boisterous about the preservation of good faith with creditors than h . ey now are found, hut still artfully willing to compro znise for the contract of new loans, in which old bonds should be taken —as now acting by the Portuguese Go vet.nnient—at an app arent l y hi gh pr i ce, the contractor, themselves gam not by diff erences of price ' between purchase and ex,.:haiige of old d e b t against new bonds alone,by but the ene.rnous profit s o f loan contracts, commissions, and °Cher valuable et cetera. TIMES.— The Report of the Select hisd Committee Banking, which ha s b een published this ,is not on cal culated to answer the exp ectat i on whichbeen raised op the subject. Not havin g t a k en the whole eevidence which was consider e d necessary for their of the - plete comprehension of the question at is sue , they neectru c". sarily forbear from offering to Parliament any ree3m mendation for the future regulation of the currency. All that the report contains of a specific nature refers'' to that celebrated principle of management laid down by .Mr. I-lorsicy Palmer, in 1832, under which the Bank retained, except under special circumstances, "an in- Yestalent in securities bearing interest to the extent of two-thirds of their liabilities, the remaining one-third leing held in bullion and coin." The conclusion to 'which the Committee have come on this part of the sub ject, after citing the opinions of Mr. Palmer and Mr. Norman, two of the leading members of the Bank direc tion, as to the application of this rule, in which there are some material differences, .s, that it ought not to prevent the Directors from adopting cny other prin ciple of management which under any chance of circum stances may be a d v i sa bl e . T o t h e un i n iti a ted this mat ter will not appeaw of any great importance, but it ha; been remarked upon as uncalled for, and a deviation from t:: tlik ti Cours e suc h a Committee should take, whose 14 At e tarinr , all the evidence, to propose • . regulation of the currency, and 1 - 9 ~° - e o t k i ll .e9,oise which a particular establish tt""'", ''''"*.Nrigland ought to follow.

The productio❑ of the evidence is looked for with a great deal of curiosity in the City. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 426 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 178. 101 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 5,4, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 41, it follows that gold is 0.59 per cent. dearer at Hamburgh than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. the ounce for standard gold. gives an exchange of 25. 32 and the exchange at Paris on London being 2.5. 15, it follows ' that gold is 0.70 per cent. dearer at Paris than in Lon ' don. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1071 per cont., and the par of exchange between Eng land and America being 109 23 40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 2.32 per cent. against England. SUN.---The foreign exchanges were this afternoon much the same as on last post day ; that is, we are sorry to state, still very depressed, and against this country. On Paris bills were taken at 2:5f. 42ie. to 471, on Hamburgh at 13 8 to 4, on Amsterdam at 12 14 to -1, and on Frank fort at 149. We believe the feeling is pretty general, that the tenor of our commercial advices from the United States to-day is more satisfactory than those which came to hand by the British Queen. Large shipments of flour are coming forward, both from Canada and America. The English Stock Market was rather brisk to-day, but not firm. This afternoon things left off with a better appearance—Consols at 89i for Money, and 90 buyers for the Account. Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. rallied to 99k, and the Three per Cents. to 90k. Exchequer Bills remained at 205, premium, and India Bonds declined to ss. discount. In the Foreign Market the transactions were very limited, and prices generally heavy. The news from Valencia caused a fall in Spanish Bonds, from 25 to 24-g- Portuguese New Five per Cents. were heavy at 34 to 34k, and the Three per Cents. at 221. Russian Bonds were per cent. lower, being marked 112-1, without the dividend for the half-year end ing to-day. Colombian Bonds were at 24a, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. declined from 52 to 51- 4. Throughout the day there was scarcely any disposition to speculate. All the Railway Shares went down a little on the rates of yesterday, but the sales were very limited. The reports received in town from most of the lines in operation in the Northern and leading commer cial diAricts of England are very favourable, and there fore it must be rather from temporary causes than any failure of public confidence in them that their value is at present reduced. Another circumstance, we must also bear in mind, is, that they were recently forced up to too high prices. To-day the Great Western brought 23 to 22, the New 8 to 8i ; and the South Western 14i to 15i premium. The Blackwall were at 4 to ; the Eastern Counties at 124 to 124 ; the North Mid land at 16, and the South Eastern at 16i discount. The following are the official returns of the exports of the precious metals from the port of London, for the week ending the 27th ult : Silver bars to Hamburg 12,458 oz. Ditto coin to ditto Ditto ditto Rotterdam 36,000 SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. Fitosl THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Morning Herald.) We dread a close alliance with Russia more than a war with France. Open warfare with any power in Europe would be less injur;ous to British interests than the treachery of such a friendship as the Court of St. Petersburgh proffers to us will eventually be..lf there were half the national feeling and strong sense in the people of this country which distinguished them at a time when they did not pretend to quite so much " intellect" and " philosophy" as at present, the monstrous alliance which Lord Palmerston has formed with Russia touching the affairs of the East would cause a universal outcry throughout England for the dismissal and punishment of the Whigs, as the betrayers and enemies of their country. We do not charge Lord Palmerston and his colleagues with venal treason. We do not assent to Mr. C. Attwood's unproved accusa tions, that the Russian treaty is the result of a pecu niary bargain. We must first see the " documents" before we believe that ; and, until Mr. Attwood pleases to produce them be had better be silent, for a charge of this nature against a Minister of the Crown, unsubstantiated by any evidence, can deserve no at tention, and merit no belief. Nevertheless, it is certain Lord Palmerston and his colleagues have betrayed their Sovereign and country in form ing an alliance with Russia, which will ef fectually place at the disposal of that Power the des tinies of the Ottoman empire—unless France chooses to offer a real opposition to the designs of tho Auto crat, which is not at all probable. The alliance which binds England to assist the project of the destroyer of Poland in "settling" to his owe satisfaction the affairs of the East, has indeed ostensibly been entered into for the purpose of curbing the ambition of Mehemet Ali, and preserving or wresting the dependencies of the Ottoman Empire from the grasp of a successful rebel. The pretended design is plausible enough ; but England will discover, before very long, that THE AG GRANDISEMENT of Russia is more the real object for which this anti-Egyptian alliance has been contrived, than the preservation of the integrity of the Turkish Empire. (From the Morning Chronicle.) It is very likely that the news obtained yesterday by our extraordinary express from Paris will turn out to be true ; and such tidings from Alexandria may easily have reached Toulon by the 29th ult. The dates correspond pretty exactly with those of previous advices ; for, if we mistake not, Rifat Bey quitted Constantinople on the ith August, and in the ordinary course would arrive at Alexandria on about the 12th of August. The Tartan-, which it seems conveyed the news to Toulon, is stated to have left Alexandria on the 13th August. However, ten days were allowed Mehemet Ali for the consideration of one proposal by the Sultan, and ten days more for deliberation on another ; the first relating, we believe, to the hereditary governor- , ship of Egypt and the life governorship of the pachalic of Acre, and the second to the hereditary governorship of Egypt alone. Therefore, if, instead of taking advan tage of the time granted, he immediately gave his reply, it may have reached Toulon by the 29th ultimo. Tak ing the fact to be so, and that Mehemet Ali does not wish for an opportunity of consultation and reflection, his refusal to comply with the terms offered will have taken nobody by surprise. It was a contingency, the possibility of which was all along contemplated ; and the Four Powers who signed the treaty of the 13th of July will have been prepared either for the acquiescence or for the resist ance of the Pacha of Egypt. What has occurred (if indeed it have occurred), was an event foreseen, if not expected, and he must have been a very shallow and improvident politician who would not be ready to meet it. But we must wait for further advices on the sub ject, though we own it to be very probable, if Mehemet Ali have on the instant given a distinct and positive re jection to the proposal of his Sovereign, that he will ad here to thatrejection through the ten or twenty days which were to be allowed him subsequent to the arrival of Rifat Bey at Alexandria. ( From the Times.) The frequent and dreadful accidents which have occurred during the spring and summer of the pre , sent year on various railways, but more especially on the South Western, on the Hull and Selby, and on the E,:stern Counties lines, are sufficient to fill the public mind with the most serious apprehensions. We are fully sensible to the convenience, in many important respects. of railway travelling, but it is a real evil that the great lines of communication should be so completely monopolised by these companies as to leave travellers entirely at their mercy. The effect is already apparent in a very percepti ble diminution of caution and concern on their pa •rt for the safety of passengers. For the first tew years after this method of conveyance was intro duced it was a common boast among its advocates that, although the formation and maintenance of the roads were undeniably attended with a considerable sacrifice of human life, still the proportion of accidents to passengers was much smaller than by other methods of travelling. Whether this were true or not, it is certain that within the last few months the proportion has been frightfully altered, and it is impossible to attribute this alteration to any other cause than a relaxation of the vi4ilanee at first observed in maintaining the roads and engines in a proper condition, selecting proper engineers, watch men, and servants, and providing for the careful dis charge of their duty by strict regulations. This would be the natural effect of a growing (though possibly un conscious) sense, in the minds of the directors of these establishments, of their independence of public opinion —perhaps we should rather say, of the dependence of the public, whatever its opinion may be, upon them and their arrangements. The increase of their business has s e i c c o i n n ( g i l a y d , d b i y t o i n n s c s i e n c g u t r h i t e y m a s t t o o fo t h r c e s it double te n d ency i n the same direction—first, by pro esuthcceepsos;°v f e t r h s c o c f ° t n h c e e r n rail and of the engine to the utmost ; the number of trains is increased ; the distance of each of theta is diminished ; and the higher degrees of speed aimed at, that the Unhappily, largest possible amount of bu siness m a y b e done. this maximum can only be ascertained by means of some dreadful catas trophe like that which happened near Brentwood f a ort night since ; and even then, unless theproeeedings ar e watched by the publi c w i th a jealous vigilance, the Di rectors easily persuad e th emselves that the mischief is owing to some accidental and inexplicable cause, for which nobody is to blame ; and so the terrible lesson is in danger of being lost.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OP BANKRUPTCY, SErr. 1. Tilt MATTER OF ROBERT BRINE. This was the day fixed for the final examination of the bankrupt, who carried on the business of a wine meft'hant in Crutched-friats; but who had absconded a few mouths since: With prOPerty tb the amount of 40,000/., and for whose apprgliontion a teWard of 1,0001. had been offered. His debts and liabilities are variously stated to be from 29 to 40.0001., and he has left assets in stock and property which are supposed likely to r,-7. - lize rather more than an average dividend. Not sur rendering, however, to pass his final examination, the usual proclamation was made at the rising of the Court, and he is now, of course, subject to the penalties of outlawry. ASSIZE IN TELCIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—LfrimPoot, Ago: :11. 13LUNDELI, V. LORD CAMOVS ANti ANOTIIEIt. This case, which has excited great interest in the neighbourhood, came on for trial this morning. It was an issue out of Charcet y to try the validity of the will of the late Charles Blundell, of lace, in this county. The estate of Ince, which is the one in question, is of the va!ue of about 9,000/. per annum. There is also, it would appear, personal property which is bequeathed by the will now in litigation r to th e amount, i t i s sa id, of nearly 200,00 0 /. Ile point in dispute is the va lidity of the will of the testator, in respe c t o f th e rea l p ro p e rty of which he died seised. The will, it was ad mitted, was signed by the testator and duly attested, but it was alleged on the other side that he was insane when be so executed it, and had been so during his life. The address of the A . ttorney-Ge nera l f or t h e p l a i nt iff occupied the Court till half -past six o'clock, when an adjournment took place till tomorrow. TEMBER. (From the World of Fashion and Monthly Magazine.) BONNETS.—We may cite as the most decidedly no vel that have appeared those of a small site, composed of paille a la Loraine, simply trimmed with a torsade of paille ; two torsades of the same replace the bavolet at the back. Although these bonnets are of a small size, the brims are remarkably open ; the shape is pecu liarly calculated to be worn with ringlets. We observe also, that crape bonnets seem to be a little, but very little smaller, Some have just appeared with the ma terial laid on plain, and ornamented only with a kind of wreath, composed of point d'Angleterre placed partly on the brim, and partly on the crown ; it issues from the left side, turns twice round the bonnet, and termi nates on the left side, forming a third round. A single torsade of white riband and brides complete the trimming. The most remarkable of the rice straw bonnets are those trimmed with green shaded ribands ; a torsade, mingled with rice straw, and a bou quet of green shaded marabouts on one sides the in terior of the brim is ornamented with a mixture of wild blossoms and moss. Others, and these last hate some thing extremely original in their style of decoration, are trimmed with wreathes of white grapes and roses inter mingled. We may cite, as a singularly pretty fancy, for we cannot yet say that they are fashionable, nor do we suppose they ever will become generally so, some bonnets of very fine straw, with the curtain at the back ; the brides and a torsade that encircles the bottom of the crown formed of green velvet ; a bou quet of peacock's feathers on one side completes the trimming. Drawn bonnets, both of crape and gauze, have been more than usually in favour during the past month. We may cite some of white crape, with flat casings, trimmed with ruches : a long curled ostrich feather of a peculiarly beautiful shade of violet issues from one side, and droops over on the other ; the inte rior of the brim is ornamented with violet marguerites ; the hearts of these flowers are of a rich shade of yellow. Silk bonnets decidedly increase in favour : nothing is more distingue than those of apple green glace de Blanc, and trimmed with ornaments composed of lace, and tastefully intermingled with a wreath of ponceau flowers ; the curtain at the back of the crown is double, and very short ; it forms a chicoree, and is di vided by coques of green shaded ribbon. SCARFS, SHAWLS, AND MANTELET S .—There seems to be quite a rage for white silk ones ; those of white damask foulard, trimmed with rich deep twisted fringe, have recently been extensively seen. Shawls of white pou de soie, trimmed also with fringe, are in an equal number, and we think that mantelets of white levan tine, trimmed with lace, though not, perhaps, quite so numerous, are adopted by some of the most distin guished elegantes. We may cite also, as well worthy of notice, several mantelets of white pou de soie, em broidered round the border with a narrow wreath of flowers in coloured silks, or foliage in various shades of green. The most decidedly striking novelty of the month, in our opinion, is a mantelet introduced only within the last few days, but of which we have already seen several ; they are composed of plain white pou de soie, and ornamented with trimmings of the same mate rial, cut in cockscombs ; knots of white ribbon retain the plaits on the shoulders, and close the front of the mantelet. We may venture to predict that it will con tinue in favour till the end of the season. NIORNING CAN.—Those of muslin are decidedly fashionable ; they are excessively pretty, and also ex tremely dear ; the caul is almost extravagantly covered with embroidery, and the Lice that trims them must be excessively beautiful ; this is necessary, as their farm is very simple, though we consider it very becoming. BLONDE.—Speaking of lace reminds us that it is currently reported that blonde lace will be brought into favour again next winter. 'We do not vouch for this as a fact, but we have great reason, neverthele,s, to believe that the intelligence is correct. We 14all be glad if it prove so, partly in the interest of trade, and partly because blonde lace, whether employed for head dresses, robes, or fichus, is always of an elegant and be coming effect ; it gives softness to the countenance, and is favourable to the complexion. PELISSE ROBES.—Some that we have recently seen, composed of black pou de sole, were made with the corsage and sleeves tight, and had the former as well as the front of the skirt trimmed with three rows of large silk buttons wrought in open work. This style of trim ming is more novel than the olives now in use ; th. se buttons are united by three narrow round cords. We may cite also pelisse robes composed of plaid barege ; their form offers nothing peculiar, but the trimming consists of a biais, which entirely encircles the dress. COLLERETTE BEGUINE.—Such is the name given to a new and very elegant morning collar, which resembles a little, and but a little, the plain linen one worn by the good nuns from which it takes its name. Little, we are sure, did these pious sisters, who devote their whole lives to the solace of the sick and suffering, ima gine that any part.of their apparel would ever be pressed into the service of fashion ; so it is, however, and the collerette beguine, very much small., than that from 1 which it take its name, and composed, .f the finest cum- I brie, serves to decorate, while . it partially veils, tliv throat : it is beautitully embroidered, trimmed with the finest Valenciennes lace, and finished by a kind of lappel on the front of the corsage, end a row of buttons ; the effect which the lappel, by entirely covering the bosom, produces, recalls in some degree the monastic origin of the collerette, but detracts nothing from its delicate and becoming appearance. HALF DRESS ROBES.—We may cite, in the foremost line, those of azure blue organdy, strewed with a small pattern in the form of vermicelli, embroidered in white silk. The border is trimmed with four volans, fes tooned in white silk. Short sleeves, trimmed with manchettes to correspond, and a half high corsage, with a lappel of the Berthe form, corresponding with the robe : the ceinture is a broad blue ribbon, fringed with white. The prettiest demi-redingotes are those of white organdy, with the corsage half-high, full, and disposed en gerbe ; the opening of the corsage, as well as the fronts of the skirts, is trimmed with a douh!e ruche, composed of five rows of narrow Mechlin lace ; the sleeves are demi-large, but made in a novel style ; they have at the top five rows of lace, each surmounted by a narrow casing, which confines the fulness of the sleeve ; the bottom of the sleeve is composed of casings, terminated at the hand by a ruche, formed of three rows of lace, narrower than that on the rest of the dress. EVENING DRESS ROBES.—Although half-dress are adopted in evening costume, they arc not exclusively so. We select the following dress as a sort of juste milieu between the magnificence of winter and the simplicity of summer. We may cite among the most distingue those of white and cherry-coloured organdy, with corsages a l'enfant, trimmed with berthes of Mechlin or Brussels lace, and short sleeves, with two bouillons, terminated by narrow lace ; the border is decorated with five rows of bouillons, each row divided by an entre deux of lace. A robe composed of tarlatare, with a corsage a reticent and bouillonnee, was trimmed with a lace collerette fall ing over. The sleeves a l'lsabelle were formed of seven bouillons, the three largest near the elbow ; the skirt was trimmed with two very deep embroidered flounces, bordered with lace, and surmounted by a bouillon, through which a rose-coloured ribbon passed, and formed at the side a full rosette without ends. We have reserved for the last one of the prettiest and most original dresses that have appeared during the month ; it is composed of pink organdy, embroidered in small puce bouquets, intermixed in a very light style with gold thread. Corsage ala Vierge and very full ; short sleeve of the double bouillon form ; the skirt is trimmed with two deep folds ; bordered with a narrow cashmere puce fringe, lightly intermingled with gold thread ; the ceinture is an organdy scarf; embroidered and edged with fringe, corresponding with that on the folds. FASHIONABLE CoLouns.—We have no new ones positively to announce, but we have seen some autumnal hues, as Pomona green, some shades of grey, and some of a very novel kind of red. We cannot, however, say that they are yet in vogue, though we think they may come in towards the end of the month. The dramatic gossips of Paris mention a novel and curious scheme which has been proposed to the Minis ter of the Interior for the management of the Odeon Theatre, and of which the projector is M. L'Henry, for merly cashier of the Opera Comique. This plan, which has for its object to furnish to the inhabitants of the Pau bourn Saint Germain all the plays of all th e th eatres in Paris,' and yet save the expense of a company, con sista of an association which M. L'Henry proposes to form betwixt himself and the other theatres, for severally sup plying on the different day a of the week and in the order proposed, their unemployed actors, and all necessary pro perties, &c. to the Odeon. A carriage belonging to the joint-stock administration would each day transport to that theatre the necessary costumes, &c., for the evening, from the theatre whose turn it may be to occupy the boards; and the projector reserves to himself two shares, giving to each of eight other theatres one. The engagements of the Paris actors generally contain a clause obliging them to play anywhere w ithi n th e circuit of Paris that the directors may appoint ; but, for the purpose of putting them in good humour with the scheme, a sum of 24,000 francs is to be set aside for the establishment of monthly premiums, to the amount of 2,000 francs, to be drawn for in a species of lottery, by the actors taking part in the undertaking.—Athenceum NOVEL RAT-TRAP.--4 A correspondent has sent us the following account of a newly-invented rat-trap, which has already been used with success. Take a barrel, and stretch a skin of parchment over it with a string ; cut it across and athwart, nearly to the outside. Take some dripping, and mix it with meal ; smear it on the middle of the parchment. The rats will smell it, and treading on the parchment it will give way, and they will fall into the water in the barrel. Put a plank for them to creep up to the barrel's brink outside, and strew some oatmeal on it. You must not let the water be too deep, but set a brick endways in it, and the first rat that is caught will make a noise, which will entice more, so that they will fight for posses ion of the brick, and the noise will draw others Thus, in one night, the house may be cleared of rats, be they ever so many. Mice and other vermin may be caught in a similar manner.

A young man, of genteel appearance and address, named Robinson, was brought be *ore the Lord Mayor, charged with having. assaulted Wright, one of the messengers employed by the London and Blackwall Railway Company. The charge was brought by Mr. Robertson, one of the Directors of the Company, in consequence of the danger to which the conduct attributed to the defend ant exposed the lives of the public travelling by the rail road. Wright stated, that when ene of the trains arrived at the Minories, he perceived that the second-class door was open. Aware of the danger of opening a door when the train had been passing at the rate of twenty five miles an hour, he asked who had opened it, and the defendant said, '• What's that to you ? I'll open it again if I please." Witness expostulated with defend ant upon the hazard to which he exposed the lives of the passengers, but the reply of the defendant was still more insulting, and at last, when witness proceeded to remove him, committed an assault upo❑ witness, and tore his coat. The defendant denied that he had opened the door, and stated that the messenger, taking it for granted that he had opened it, proceeded to use the most vio lent language, and when the abuse was retaliated, at tempted to push the defendant down tho steps, a course which was naturally resented ; but the violence all commenced, and quite unreasonably too, on the other side. The Solicitor to the Railway Company said that the Directors entertained no vindictive feelings at all to wards the defendant, but were determined not to let any case pass in which the safety of the people was concerned. The succession of trains was so quick, that it was necessary to observe the most minute re gularity, as sixty thousand or seventy thousand persons passed weekly. \lr. Freeke stated that he was a passenger in the train, and was present during part of the scene between the complainant and the defendant. The com plainant asked who opened the door of the second train and endangered the lives of the passengers. The defen dant said that he opened it, and he would open it again, and what could the complainant do ? The Defendant's Solicitor—Do you belong to the Railroad Company, Sir ? Witness No. I know nothing about the Company. I came here voluntarily. 'fhe Defendant—Did you not see the complainant strike me ? Witness—No ; but I saw you strike the complainant. The Defendant—l assure you, my Lord, the whole is a mi,representation. The fact is, I came by the train, and one of the men said that I deserved to have my neck broken for opening the dcor. I replied that he had better ascertain first that I had done what he charged me with, upon which he pushed me violently down stairs, and in protecting myself; I tore his coat. I declare that I did not open the door. Alderman THOMAS Wool), who sat with 0 Lord Mayor, said that the defendant, u: •.n being accused of having opened the door, admitted the fact. The LORD MAYOR—Is not this a case which de serves an indictment ? lc LI ft moat. serious charge, and I think ought to be prosecuted in another place. The Solicitor to the Company—l am not instructed to go to the extreme by the Company. The LORD MAEOR—Then I fine the defendant twenty shillings ; but if any other case should occur, an example must be made. Mr. Robertson—By all means. - - - The Defendant (paying the fine) —I bow to the decision of the Court, but I have been hardly dealt with. I never opened the door. BOW-STREET. Joseph Bull, a law stationer's apprentice, was yes terday brought before Mr. Henry, charged on sus picion with breaking open a cash-box, and stealing from it the sum of 701., the property of Messrs. Pickering, Smith, and Co., Solicitors, 4, Stone-buildings, Lin coln's-inn. Mr. Roberts, solicitor, attended for the prisoner. Mr. Edward Thompson, jun., partner in the firm, stated that the property stolen consisted of three 20/. notes, with some gold, and on Friday evening, the 17th of July, having deposited it safe, with a quantity of other money, he locked up the chambers as usual. On the next day he had no occasion to come to chambers, as each of the partners had a key, and being engaged in another quarter ; but on the Monday following he found the doors secured, and the lock of the tin box had been wrenched off with some violence, in which, with other notes, he had left dividends which he had received from his sister. The three notes taken away were No. 39,193, dated .sth March, and the two consecutive numbers, and the sum of 1501. had been folded in one packet, out of which the three notes had been abstracted. Having given information of the circumstance at the Bank, he received a note on the Tuesday following, intimating that one of the notes had been changed, and on Monday, the 17th August, he was aptin acquainted by the Bank the a second note had come in which was stopped. The last note was traced to the Union Bank, where it had been paid by gold nd Mr. Robin s , w h o rece i ved i t from Mr. Mott, jeweller, in the Strand, w whom appendage s, inquired, it i on the was t paid during in tlh7et th thei m August. ementioned, purchase of a Mr. ateh ato HENRY the prisoner had any access to the chambers. The prosecutor said that for some time a clandestine connection had existed between the prisoner and the sister of his laundress, who had charge of the keys of the chambers, which she was in the habit of leaving at her father's residence on returning to her lodgings after her work was done. Such was the case on the day the robbery was committed, and he had since ascertained that the father was then in Gravesend, and that the The third not e was p a id into the B an k on th e 22d o f ~..risoner was in company with the fern de all the time.

Becton and Campbell, of Whitechapel, whe took it it) payment for a watch, and the person who made the pur chase wrote " Charles Nesbit, Bedford-row," upon it at the time. A shopman in the service of Mr. Mott, proved that in the month of August a person purchased a watch and appendages from him, for which he pail the 201. note produced. As far as his memory would serve, the pri soner was the man, but he could not be positive, and he did not mark the note. The purchaser left the key, as he wished to have the pipe of it altered , saying that he would ca ll aga i n for it the same day, but he never re turned. Wm. Edwards, shop could not positi ve l y swear , but to the best of his belief the prisoner was the person ' who had purcha se d a watch from him, man to Messrs.

Mr. HENRY considered that the other partners should be present at the next examination, as they also had keys to open the chambers, and he would r e q uire the clerks of the differ ent banks, together with others through whose hands the notes had passed, to be present on Sa turday next. The prisoner was then remanded. GREENWICH POLICE. Yesterday C'harles - V/c , the lessee an d collector of the St. Margaret's and R oc hester trust, and who is stationed at t h e B ridgewood Gate, a tt e nded before Mr. tlackray and Mr. Smith to answer a charge of as sauiting c imr i es Hurlock, one of the c onstabl es of the R di v i s i on o f police, Under the following circum stances:— The complainant stated that, on the llth of August, he and a brothe r constable named Good were em ployed in conveying six prisoners to Maidstone Gaol, and they hired a fly at Gravesend for that purpose, and when they got to the Bridgewood-gate on the road to Maidstone, the defendant came out and demanded the toll. They informed him that there were only prisoners in the fly, and that it was, consequently, not liable to the payment of toll. The defendant, however, said he had been cheated often before, and he insisted upon seeing the commitments. Good then pulled out the commitments of the prisoners, and offered to let the defendant look at them, but he was not satisfied with that, and said that he must have them in his own hands to examine. They could not agree to let them out of their possession, and Good remonstrated with him upon the impropriety of his interfering with them in the exe cution of their duty, and witness also requested him not to interrupt them, and while he was so doing the defendant pushed him and struck him on the breast, and during the scuffle one of the prisoners escaped, and —hen the defendant was told of it, he said that he was right. Eventually they very glad, anti It purvg, • went through without paying the toil. of the other constable corroborated the statesne,., the witness flutincli, The defendant cross-examined the tenstables, and it appeared that the precise observation made use of by him was, that he was glad the occurrence had taken place, because it would bring the matter before the Magistrates, and would probably settle the question as to whether the polio, under such circumstances, were exempt from the payment of toll ? The CHAIRMAN said that if a carriage was used for no other purpose or the same day than the conveyance of prisoners, that it was not liable to pay toll, as it was upon her Majesty's service. In answer to further questions, the constables said that the same fly had carried persons as passengers, be sides the prisoners, between Gravesend and Rochester. Mr. TIiAcKRAY remarked that as this was the case, the carriage was liable to pay the toll, and the dri7er might be punished for evading the toll ; but this did not at all affect the question of the assault upon the police men, which appeared to have been committed without provocation or justification. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said that he had been often defrauded of his toll by the pretenca in question, and he considered he was justified in d, mind ing to see the commitment. He denied having com mitted any assault. Mr. Malalieu, the superintendent of the division, said that he would not allow it to be insinuated that the policemen, who were engaged to convey the prisoners, derived the least advantage from the toll not being paid. The arrangements were such, that they could not pos sibly do so. The Magistrates said under all the circumstances they should inflict a fine of twenty shillings and costs. A young man dressed as a sailor, named Frederick Green, was brought up in custody charged with stealing some plate. The case appeared to be of a most distressing charac ter. It appeared that the prisoner's connections re side in London, and are of the first respectability, but in consequence of his misconduct they have been unable to countenance him, and he has actually been serving as a seaman on board the Platen frigate. He went to his sister's house, and being, as he said, ashamed to ask her for more money, he took the opportunity of purloining some silver spoons from the sideboard, and he after wards offered to sell them in a public house to two po licemen, who, suspecting all was not right, immediately took him into custody. A geatleman who was upon the bench addressed the Magistrates in a low tone of voice, and handed to Mr. Thackray a latter from the prisoner's sister, in which she said that she could not bear the thought of coming forward to prosecute her brother, and entreating that all means should be taken to get him set at liberty. After a brief conversation among the Magistrates, Mr. Thackray addressed the prisoner, and said it was a melancholy thing to see a person, respectably con nected as he was, standing in such a position, an(i but for the kindness of his sister, he was liable to be sent for trial upon the charge of felony. He would now he discharged, but he hoped that this proceeding would have a good effect upon his future conduct. The prisoner was then discharged upon his entering into his own recognizance to appear before the Magis trates in case he should be called upon to . do so, or in case his future conduct should render it necessary to adopt any further proceedings against him. MIDDLESEX COURT OF REQUESTS. VERY SUSPICIOUS.—John Higgins, a chandler shop keeper, was summoned by Henry Furdelly, for one shilling. Mr. Fardclly stated that his servant (a girl of about three feet in height, and who stated her rage to be six teen years) went to the shop of the defendant for half a pound of candle., in payment of which she tendered half-a-crown. She received among the change a bad shilling, which the defendant refused to take back. The servant girl having been sworn to the above effect, Mr. Sergeant HEATH called upon the chandler shop keeper for his defence. " Yes, I have," said Mr. Higgins, who was a long nosed, small eyed man. " This is a very curious case," said he , " there's some singular —or, I should say, sus picious —circumstances about this shilling. You will have the goodness, Sir, to hear in mind, in taking this matter into your consideration, that the night on which the plaintiff's girl came to my shop for the candles, was a very hot night. - Mr. Sergeant HEATH (smiling good-naturedly)—A hot night! I really cannot see what this has to do with the bad shilling. The chandler shopkeeper—Not as a mere isola'cd fact, I admit; but, taken in connection with other facts, I shall submit to you, it will, lam inclined to think, have considerable weight with you and the gen tleman of the Jury. "Proceed," said Mr. Sergeant HEATH. " Well, Sir," continued Mr. Higgins, " it was a hot night, a very hot night as I said before, and Mr. Far delly lives a goodish distance from me ; in fact be could have got half a pound of candles almost next door to him, if he meant the thing boncy fido." Mr. Sergeant Heath looked somewhat surprised at the chandler shopkeeper's reasons and law Latin. " %Why, sir," proceeded Mr, " did the girl come to me far half a pound of candles on a very hot night, when she might have got them almost next door to her master's house? And this is not all, Sir, suspicious as it is. Why did Mr. Fardelly send the girl with halt-a-crown for an article that came to only threepence farthing, when he or the girl could have got change at Mr. Levi's, at whose house they reside ? Besides, Mr. Fardelly lives with a Jew, and the whole affair looks very queer." Mr. Sergeant HEATH—Then you suppose there has been a conspiracy which the girl has supported by try ing to defraud you of a shilling ? The chandler shopkeer—Look at all the circum stances, Sir—look at them. The plaintiff lodges at a Jew's, he sends half a-crown for half a pound uf can dles, a matter of two hundred yards on a hot night—it was a very hot night—when he might have got them close at hand. Mr. Sergeant HEATH—But a man may surely buy his candles where he pleases ? The chandler shopkeeper shook his head and mut tered, " It's very suspicious." Verdict for the plaintiff, one shiliing ; costs, three and sixpence. A few minutes after the verdict was given, the long nosed smal:-.eyed chandler shopkeeper returned into Court, quite out of breath, and holding up his summons and opening his mouth pretty widely at the same time, gasped out " debt one shilling, and costs three and six pence !" He thee lifted up his eyes and exclaimed " Very suspicious." " What is that?" inquired Mr. Sergent HEATH, who had not heard Mr. Higgin's half-broken lachrymose ex clamation. " Why, they've charged me 3s. 6d. for costs," said he. Mr. Sergeant HEATH—That is quite correct. The chandler shopkeeper immediately retired, and meeting with the plaintiff in the outer court, abused him " like a pickpocket," talking many very wicked things to witness, that he would indict him and his -- of a girl for perjury. COUR ROYALE OF DIJON. THE CHILDREN OF THE DUCHESS DE BERRI V. THE KINGDOM OF FRANCE. —CURIOUS QUESTION OF LAW. The Cour Royale of Dijon was recently occupied two whole days in hearing arguments of counsel on a question of rights claimed by the Crown of France upon certain landed property held by the children of the Duchess de Berri. The facts of the case, and th e point at issue will be collected from the following aoridged translation of ;he report in the Gazette des Tribunaux : On the 17th May, 1771, Louis XV. sold to Count de Nozieres for 90,000 livres, three hundred French acres of woodland on the coast of Genouche. On the 12th June following the King procured the consent of the purchaser to give up the possession of that forest, and gave in exchange that of Yevre, in the Duchy of Berri, consisting of six hundred and sixty acres. By a contract entered into on the 27th June, 1776, the King exchanged divers forests, with his brother the Count d'Artois, and the latter became possessed, among others, of the forests of Leclos and Douval, and other property belonging to the Crown. On the 12th June, 1778, the Count de Nozieres sold to the Count D'Artois the forest of Yevre ; so that at the time the revolution broke out, the forest of Yevre, the large forest of Vassey, la Marne des Vosges, and des Ardennes, be longed to the Count D'Artois, afterwards Charles X. During the revolution this property was confiscated and became the property of the State until the restora tion of the Bourbons. By virtue of the law of sth DQC. 1814, and by decrees of April and Jnly, 1816, it was re stored to the Count D'Artois, with the reserve of the rights of the State. These rights being one-fourth of their value, according to a law of the revolution, passed to that effect. On Nov. 9, 1819, the Coant D'Artois gave these estates to his son, the Duke de Berri, without any reserve. On March 12, 1820, a law was passed, de claring that if the State did not claim its rights in re spect of domains within thirty years of the passing of tile revolutionary law, the proprietors should be exempt from the claim. In order to prevent this exemption, on 6th March, 1829, notice was given to the Duchess de Berri, as guardian of the young Duke of Bordeaux and Mlle.!D'Artois, her two children (then minors), that tho rights were st.ll claimed. The question now at issue was, whether this notice was good in law ; if it was, the State had not lost its claim ; if, on the other hand, it was not good, the Princes became the un doubted possessors of the immense forest, situated in the ancient Champagne and le Berri. So long as the eldest branch of the family reigned in France, no claim was put in by the State ; but the law of 1832 having enacted that the members of the de throned family should sell, at the expiration of a year, all landed property held by them in France, the Du chess de Berri proceeded to take measures for the sale of the forests belonging to her children. The Regis trar-General now put in the claim of the Crown, which the Duchess de Berri resisted, and long and intricate law proceedings were the consequence. T he quest i on turneu - --incipally upon the le ga lity o f t h e not i ce. I t i notice n que a p p eared that int, scion w as g i ven to t h e 4, e secretary to the Duchess, Marquis de fias§enaye..b.-. and on the part of the Princes it 1v.." contended that it should have been given to the Duchess hers,. In peN t , son. The que!tion was carried before the Courts 2 Bourges and of Vassy. The former held the notice to be good. But the decision was appealed against on the ground that the serving was not legal. This appeal was alio:lied by that f2ourt, but subsequently set aside by the Civil Chauth,:r. The matter next came before the Court of V,issy, which decided against the Princes, and in favour of the State ; and, lastly, it came before this Court (Dijon), which affirmed the judgment of the Court of Vassy. This last decision can, however, also be appealed against. GAMBLERS AT THE BOURSE. (From the Pressc.) The ilLmiteur Parisien and the Messager, officially announce this evening that the Keeper of the Seals has just given orders to the legal :Authorities to make an inquiry relative to the late doings at the Bourse. W e unhesitatingly declare that this inquiry is but an appa rent satisfaction intended to assuage awl calm the irri tation of public opinion. This vain formality can and will produce nothing, and those who have ordered it to be instituted knew it well. If it be seriously intended to do what has been done by the new King of Prussia, viz.—put down a jobbing system injurious to punlic credit, in consequence of the constant fluctuations it forces it to undergo, there is but one means, and that is ; to suffer no longer the scandal of a legislation and juris diction, being braved openly and with impunity, by agents of a public character, appointed by the King. The Legislature and the jurisprudence are positive on the point. There is a law of the I3th Fructidor, in the third year of the republic, which condemns to two years' imprisonment and to the pillory, with a placard on the breast, with the word Agiota.gc L fraudulent job bing), any man convicted of having sold at the Bourse merchandise or effects not in his possession at the mo ment of the sale. The law of the 28th Vendemaire, in the fourth year of the republic, thus characterises those Bourse speculations :—" Such speculations are immoral, destructive of every economical system. of all public credit, and can be conceived and effected but by agioteurs or enemies of the common weal. A too pro longed indulgence towards jobbers can alone have encou raged them. The articles of this law are very explicit, as can be judged from the following : kJ " 14. Agens dc change (stock-brokers) to make no purchase or sale on their own account. An infrac tion, on their part, of any of the preceding articles will he punished with five years' imprisonment ; the bargains, made by such infractions, shall be annulled, their produce confiscated ; one-half shall be given to the informer or informers of the infraction, and the other half paid into the public treasury ; the loss shall be supported, one-half by the buyer, and the other by the seller. " 15. Every one is expressly prohibited to sell or buy, or give any assistance in selling or buying metal lic objects, or matters on account, or with premium. No sale of this nature is to take place but for cash, so that the things sold may be delivered and paid for in the four•and-t wenty hours after the sale. " 16. Every infraction of the preceding article will iift considered agiotag,e ; those implicated will be punished according to the penalties entailed on fraudulent job bers (agioteurs) by the law of the 13th Fructidor, in the third year of the republic ; the bargains arising from such infraction annulled, their produce confiscated en tirely in favour of those zealous citizens who shall de nounce and make known those infractions against the law." Our jurisprudence is no less positive than our legisla tion ; there exist two sentences of the Court of Cessa tion in the following terms : " Bargains of public effects are prohibited and null, unless there be a deposit of effects or bonds, especially if these bargains are but speculations on a rise and fall for the mere profit or loss of a difference. No ratifica tion can cover the vice of these bargians." When laws are bad ones, or are not F. pplied, they should he either reformed or applied ; the Ministry have no choice but between the two, and cannot play with their execution without failing in their duties. If they thinkjhat bargains for account ought nut to be abso tutiFt prohibited, let them propose a new law, placing them, nevertheless, under certain positive restrictions, and delivering Government from suspicions which are dishonourable when they fall on those who have so many means of information exclusively in their reach. A pro position laid before the Chamber on the 13th May, 18;36, and examined in the bureaux of the Cuamber of Deputies, might be consulted on the subject. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

Vaii °llal AMERICAN IRON.—A writer in the jo t his Gazette estimates the present consumption of 10a • 80 , country at three hundred thousand tons, and the ay° . annual expenditure of each member of the coninin n ' nt therefore, at two dollars sixty-five cents. The pre Se' selling price of bar iron is about one hundred dollars P sr ton, and it is asserted that it can be produced in the ace thracite coal region for has than forty dollars, or magi/ less than the amount of the expanses and duty upon that which is imported. He supposes that the reduction 0 ; prices that must take place whenever the new works ibi d. become capable of supplying the demand, will tend to in crease greatly the amount per head, because of the substi' anion of iron for numerous purposes tor which wood is now used, and becsu,e of the increased facility of Or. plying demands of every description that may but admitting that the average annual expenditubs: of each person shall continue the same, and my the reduction in the price of iron shall he only t he re five per cent., he estimates that there will quired in 1850 not less than 550,000 tome t° j et the demand of a population that will then 813.
