Whether that move ment will be progressive or retrogressive is a question as problematical to Mr. Tms . r, the pleni potentiary, as it must be to General PAREDES, the invisible double of the Mexican President. Whether General TAYLOR will have to rival the feats recounted in the Anabasis, or transform the valley of the Rio Grande into a second black forest, and him self into a second MoßuAt (one of which would be as impossible as the other), or whether he will have to gird up his loins for a more momentous tussle with the Dictator SANTA ANNA, and press onwards to the succour of his puissant colleague WINFIELD, is as impossible to conjecture at this moment as it was at the very commencement of the invasion, and must be a problem as difficult of solution to honest ZACHARY himself as it would be to General VALENCIA. Meanwhile the sluggishness of General TAYLOR within the walls of Monterey is being emulated in a remarkable manner by General SCOTT outside the walls of the metropolitan city of Mexico. Al though, according to the extravagant declaration of the Sun of Anahuac, thirty-two thousand men were driven to the gates of Mexico by seven thou sand men, at the point of the bayonet, General SCOTT remained at a distance of three miles from that capi tal, in compliance with the first whispered proposi tions for the renewal of pacific negotiations. What consummate magnanimity ! Granting an armistice of forty-eight hours, forsooth, to a race which had proved itself incapable of withstanding his assaults, although numericallyof nearly five times his strength ! Is this narration, we ask, within the limits of feasibility ? Is it rational to imagine that a general who could rout 32,000 with 7,000, and drive them ignominiously to the gates of a capital at the point of the bayonet, would allow such golden oppor tunities to slip from him unemployed, and acquiesce in the first doubtful proposal for a renewal of the scheme of pacification ? Would he not, considering the peril of his position, with an infirm and exhausted force in the heart of a country populated by an un certain and revengeful people, eagerly pluck the flower safety from the nettle danger ? To think other wise would be to proclaim ourselves as gullible as the most vainglorious among the Yankees. From a can did consideration, therefore, of the recent occurrences in the several provinces of the Mexican republic, it would appear that the successes of General SCOTT have been grossly exaggerated, and that instead of having the Mexican nationality, as it were, at his individual dis posal, his army is becoming every day more and more at the mercy of the Mexicans. A guerilla onslaught of a sanguinary character may be anticipated with considerable certainty, and the paeans of victory which have been prematurely chanted in the printing-offices of Vera Cruz and New York will (unless some unexpected catastrophe should intervene) be changed into the la mentations of defeat. When NAPOLEON ad vanced at the head of the combined nations of Europe into the centre of the Russian empire, he es tablished his head-quarters in Moscow ; he had dramas performed in the palace chambers of the Kremlin, by the actors and actresses of Paris; and from the gate of the Kremlin to the grand entrance of the Tuileries post-houses were established with so much security and regularity, that until the me morable retreat had been some time commenced, not a single courier was molested along that enormous line of communication, and the news circulated with the utmost regularity between the Imperial head quarters, and the seat of the Imperial Government. How do these matters stand with the American captains ? Will SCOTT locate himself in the metro polis of Mexico ? Will the heroic voice of the comedian MaanLEo resound in the halls of the Montezurnas ? Has ZACRAE: TAYLOR a perpetual intercourse with the Locofocos of Washington ? How many messengers have been stopped between the outposts of Monterey and the door-scraper of the American President ? And have not those messen gers who have been stopped been compelled to pay the postage with their lives ? Yet we should con jecture that a cloud of Cossacks is as terrible as a gang of guerillas ! The truth is—the Americans can violate the laws of nations—they can butcher women and children, as they did at the storming of Vera Cruz—they can brag in german type and bluster in bourgeois—but they cannot conduct with success an expedition which requires both military genius and diplomatic skill. The Earl of CLARENDON, since his assumption of the Vice-Royalty of Ireland, has spared no labour to discharge efficiently the duties of his exalted station . The answers which he has from time to time returned to the numerous addresses presented to him, the deep interest he has evinced in everything by which the prosperity of the country in which he is the repre sentative of the SOVERFIGN can in any manner be premoted, have gained him golden opinions from per sons of every class and of every shade and variety of political feeling. To every complaint and remon strance he has lent a ready and attentive ear. He has listened patiently, and replied courteously, so that whatever might be the result of the application, whe ther the response was favourable or otherwise, all par ties have at least been impressed with the conviction that there is an anxious desire on the part of the Government to make every just and reasonable con cession, to afford every assistance within their power to those proving themselves worthy thereof, and to co-operate with the landed proprietors in all parts of the country (whose undoubted duty it is to take the initiative) in their exertions for the due develop ment of the national resources, and the providing of useful employment for the immense quantity of la bour that is now suffered to remain idle and unpro ductive. Ilis Excellency has never failed to point out in kind and gentlemanly language the existing evils that require amendment, to show by whom the improvements should be originated, and how far Government assistance may be hoped for. He has clearly explained the means within the power of all, and urged, in the most impressive manner, the necessity of their being taken advantage of in sufficient time, and the futility of neglecting those means in the vain expectation of something more being done than has already been announced. Such exhortations proceeding from so high and influential a quarter cannot be despised or neglected. There is no mystification or concealment of any kind. The Irish landowners are shown that they must set their own shoulders to the wheel, and that they cannot suppose that English industry is to be permanently, or even a second time taxed, for the purpose of maintaining them in positions which they are unable to perform the duties of. What has already been done should satisfy the most virulent railer against the Saxon and the stranger of the true spirit with which Englishmen regard their Irish brethren. The simple fact that more than 700,0001. sterling was collected by voluntary contributions, and distributed for the relief of the distress in that country—in addition to the enormous sum of ten millions of pounds sterling, which was advanced from the national Exchequer, partly as a free gift, and the residue as loan, to be repaid at a period of greater prosperity, and that at a time when we, ourselves, were suffering under the effects of an insufficient harvest, and a general scarcity—should have more effect than the unfounded and unreasonable complaints of interested parties, who, for their own purposes' desire to excite the animosity of the people against those who have proved themselves to be their best friends, because they could not effect impossibilities. The explanation of the real causes that have hitherto prevented the introduction of capital into Ireland (its It esadysu—ty chief want), and also as to the duties and powers of a Governm en t , should be maturely considered. His Excellency is nctyhe a right t o claim o£ th the Government, introduce ment,an dyou such have and adopt suchat they should laws, measures, as may conduc e t o of the the social improvem ent country. But allo w me to warn y ou th at the in rt o dTuch e Government tion of capit a l I depends upon Irishmen alone. is completely p ower l ess i n such matte long as capital does no t fi nd in this rs; count and so adequate protection, and c onsequent l y the pros pect ry profitable investment, all futur e attempts, lenan(lfy past experiments here, to introduce capital, must fail —so long as ignorance and prejudice renders its introduction dangerous in Ireland—and so long will it be diverted from your shores, a n d seek investment in foreign schemes." And again, "Insecurity alone bas preventec3 the investment in Ireland of the millions that have been squandered in foreign loam and mining speculatioN ; but if Eng lish capitalists can be convinced that they are safer in Ireland, and that education and example have taught the people better to understand their own true interests, you may rely on it that capital and enter prise will never be wanting here." These are, in deed, important truths, that never can be sufficiently inculcated upon the people. It is to their own tur bulence and lawlessness, to the outrages and disturb ances by which the peace and tranquillity of the country is violated, that many of the present evils, and a great deal of the recent sufferings, may be attributed. They hare their origin in other sources besides the failure of the potato crop. Some of these causes have been removed. The most help less and unprotected Irishman has now a legal right to a maintenance out of the soil on which he was born. His claim has a priority over the demand of mortgagee or landlord. If feeble or debilitated, and unable to earn his daily bread by his own exertions, he must still be provided for. If able-bodied and willing to work for his own livelihood, he must either have fitting employment provided, or must be supported in idleness. Under any cir cumstances, he cannot be disregarded or suffered to perish so long as there is any food in the country. Hence the possession of land will no longer be an object of such paramount importance, a matter of life and death, that it should be obtained at any price, by as suming and undertaking to pay rents that would absorb the entire produce without leaving any surplus, even the , most scanty provision for the support of the occupier and his family, and that possession maintained by acts of violence and intimidation when the inevitable failure of payment should induce the landlord to attempt to get rid of his unprofitable tenant. This, the first great cause, has been set aside to a certain extent; other Acts will, however, be necessary to encourage im provements of the soil, and to protect the tenant in the enjoyment of those improvements which have been effected by his own labour and industry. We verily believe that the extension of the Ulster tenant right—not that which is claimed by mad enthusiasts, but such as is acted on by really good landlords in the north of Ireland—would go far to effect this desirable object, and to banish the last remaining grievance. IVe shall look anxiously for the measures that will be brought forward by the Government for the purpose of improving the relationship between landlord and tenant. On these, in a great degree, will depend the tranquillity and, as a natural conse quence, the prosperity of the country. We believe that the subject is at present anxiously considered, and we doubt not that at the very commencement of next session we shall have a well-matured project laid before the Legislature for their sanction and approval. The Russian Government has decided that, for the uture, passports shall be delivered to native and foreign merchants, artists, and artizans travelling in Russia on business, which shall be good for their respective destinations, without being subject to the visa of the authorities of the different towns on the road ; but this favour is on no pretext to he accorded to persons who travel only for their pleasure. Letters from Naples of the 29th ult. state that in consequence of the reports of Signor VIGNALE, the Attorney-General of the Court of Messina, and Signor PARISI, the Intendant General of the same city, the KING had dissolved the Courts-martial in stituted by General LUNDI. Signor ROBERTI, Attorney-General of the Grand Court of Palermo, has officially represented to the Government that there were not sufficient grounds for continuing the prose cution against the brothers GALLO, who were arrested as accomplices with the companies of the artillery sus pected of having been engaged in the conspiracy of Palermo, and on that account imprisoned in the castle of St. Elmo. A letter from Genoa announces the arrival in that port on the 29th ult. of a French steam frigate, from the squadron in the Bay of Naples. Preparations were making for the celebration of the KING'S fete, but it was reported that an order had been received from the chief of the police at Turin, prohibiting the utterance of all vitas, even in favour of his MAJESTY or the Pore. A commercial Con gress was about to assemble at Turin, for the purpose of organizing an Italian Customs League, which Naples had refused to join. Letters from Turin, of the 2d, state that a number of young men having assembled outside the city to sing the Hymn of Pius IX., the vicario of the police had waited on the KING to apprise him of their in tention and take his orders. His MAJESTY told that officer to suffer the meeting to go on. "If they cry Vica CHARLES ALBERT," said he, "it is a compliment to me ; if they cheer Pius IX., it is an homage to the Father of the Faithful ; and if they shout for Italian independence, it is a very natural manifestation. But you must not allow them to enter the city tumul tuously." Count BRESSON was believed to have pre sented a note to the KING, in which M. GUIZOT declared that France would oppose all foreign inter vention in the affairs of Italy, as well as the inter vention of Italian Princes in those of their neigh bours. The KING had ordered all the officers on leave of absence to return to their respective corps. The Chevalier MARTINI, the Tuscan Minister, fre quently transacted business with the KING and Mon signor COBBOLI-BUSSI, with a view to effect a political and commercial alliance between Piedmont, Tuscany, and the Roman States. Madrid journals of the Ist have been received. Their contents are now of little interest, as they have been anticipated by the telegraphic dispatch of the 4th, received in Paris on Wednesday, which an nounces the success of the intrigues of the Afran cesado faction to force themselves on the QUEEN. The Ileraldo, the organ of that faction, strongly at tacks the plan for the new civil organization of the kingdom, and advantage has probably been taken of that decree to excite the turbulent soldiery to revolt against this first attempt to curb the power of the military chiefs. The Gageta of the Ist publishes a decree autho rising time bargains on the Stock Exchange. The Carlist chief, CALVENTE, who was reported to have been killed in the mountains of Toledo, has escaped to Gibraltar, and sailed for England in the Indus. General CONCHA has published a bando allowing the Carlists a delay of fifteen days to lay down their arms. Every individual belonging to a rebel band taken prisoner, after that period, is to be sentenced to serve ten years in the colonies as a simple soldier, provided he be not guilty of incendiarism, of robbing the mails, murder, or other crimes punished with death or the galleys. Fresh troops are daily arriving at Barcelona. In the meantime the Carlists are not idle. The chiefs, MARSAL BoquIRA and CASTEL, held a council of war the other day at Ripoll, to concert future operations. Not a single transaction, either for cash or time, was concluded on the Bourse of Madrid on the Ist. After the usual hour of business, however, the Three per Cents. were done at 26k for cash, and the Five per Cents. at 16,-1, without the coupon. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Moniteur Parisien of that evening contains the following announcement : " The French Government has received by a tele graphic dispatch, dated Madrid, October 4, the news that her Majesty Queen ISABELLA has appointed a new Ministry, of which the following is the comp°. sition : " President of the Council and Minister for Foreign Affairs, General NARVAEZ. " Minister of the Interior, M. SARTORIUS. " Minister of Finance, M. ORLANDO. " Minister of Public Instruction, M. Ros DE °LAN°. " Minister of War, M. CORDOVA. " The ordinance which constitutes the new Minis try was published in the Gazette of the 4th. " Madrid is perfectly tranquil." By what means the QUEEN has been coerced into submission to the Viceroy of Lours PHILIPPE we have yet to learn, but that the reign of terror is about to recommence in Spain is evident. An article in the Journal des Debats, on the subject of the Reform banquets, at once betrays the uneasi ness of the Ministry on the subject, their desire to avail themselves of any opportunity that may be offered to them to prosecute those who take part in these banquets, and their willingness to yield to the pressure so soon as it shall become so violent as to be likely to squeeze them out of their places. The Debats says— i "The Opposition have set those banquets going for the pleasure of playing a trick on the Ministry. The party hostile to our institutions le.id hold of the move ment, as might have been expected. Such conduct has already taken place whenever, in place of address ing public opinion in a regular form, the Opposition have endeavoured to agitate the masses by irregular means. It is thus that they have rendered them selves accomplices, without wishing to be so, of all the disturbances, of all the insurrections, and of all the calamities which have afflicted France during 17 years." - This last sentence is a revival of the monstrous doctrine of moral complicity first propounded by M. HEBERT for the purpose of destroying the unfortu nate DUPOTET. It is, however, a dangerous doctrine for the Debats to broach. The colleagues of M. TESTR and the associates of the Duke DE PRASLIN must be more bold than prudent if they give in their adhesion to this doctrine of moral complicity. The concluding passage, which is as follows, betrays at once the fear and the weakness of the Ministry : " You may agitate yourselves, but not the country. You may deliver speeches more or less violent, more or less ridiculous—you may sing the Marseillaise,' but you will remain what you cre, united or divided —a minority. And should a reform become useful or necessary, it is not you who shall accomplish it." This reads like a translation from a rabid Orange paper, published in the early days of the Catholic Association. The concluding passage, however affords hope that the agitation will succeed in its object. M. GUIZOT'S Ministry, it is evident, is made of squeezable materials, and will yield rather than resign. The Union Monarchique, in the following article, gives an accurate appreciation of the situation of the Ministry in the presence of this vast yet peaceful and legal movement : " The Ministry continues to be rather embarrassed as to the attitude which it ought to assume relative to the Reform dinners of the Left. At one time it fears, and at others pities, them. When it hears theta appeal to the principles which it had itself formerly proclaimed, and exalt the reminiscences which it de sired in other times to keep up, it shows alarm, and treats them as Republicans. On the contrary, when it beholds the agitation which had arisen about them subsiding, when it sees the speakers and guests return peaceably to their homes to attend with the most per fect calm to their daily labours, it takes on itself to treat them as very amusing persons, and rails and laughs at them. Fear is a good deal, pity_ is top much. Fear is evidence of a guilty consciegeeii)ity of a vicious mode of thinking. Both prove that • the :Mi nistry no longer possesses sufficient liberty to render to itself an exact account of the situation—to com prehend its embarrassments and perils. At present, in particular, it is with pity that the Ministry is seized, and the dinner which now excites that feeling is precisely the same as three days back caused it the greatest alarm, namely, that of Orleans. The Mi nistry has discovered on reflection that there were at table only 500 guests, whereas the population of the town amounts to 45,000 souls ! It might he retorted that amongst 35,000,000 Frenchmen the law admits scarcely more than '200,000 electors. The statistics of the commerce between France and Naples, contained in the following reply of the Presse to an article in the Moniteur, will be found interest ing. The Presse says— " Before the treaty, under the empire of the sys tem so badly combired of our differential duties, the Neapolitan flag carried on a rude competition with ours. In 1846, for example, the maritime commerce between France and the two Sicilies was carried on by 742 vessels, and supplied an official freight of 127,000 tons. The part of the Neapolitan flag was 516 ships and 98,000 tons. The part of the French flag was 226 ships and 29,000 tons. That is to say that we had 28 per cent. against 72 per cent., if we compare the number of ships, and 22 per cent. against 78 per cent., if we compare the tonnage! But these figures, striking though they may be, do not even give an idea of the inferiority of our part. If 226 French ships succeeded in the year 1846 in obtaining the conveyance of 29,000 tons of merchandise, that does not say that they traversed the distance which separates our ports from the kingdom of Naples and from the Two Sicilies. No—the greatest part of them did not go farther than Nice or Genoa. Sicilian ships not being able, on account of the surtax of navigation, to come to our cosst, brought to Nice or Genoa, the products of their country; there these products were transferred to French ships, which brought them to us. It was at bottom a navigation much smaller than it appeared. For the future, under the new system which dispenses Neapolitan ships from the necessity of resorting to these truncforst of their freight, by which our navy profited, and which to a certain point created an illusion as to its part in those latitudes, these ships will come direct into our ports. They will without intermediaries bring not only to Marseilles, but to Cette, to Nantes, to Bordeaux, to Rouen, the oils, sulphurs, grain, fruit, hemp—in a word, all that we draw from Naples and Sicily. The new treaty will therefore deprive French navigation of the little it had preserved. That is a result so inevitable, that we do not fear to appeal in advance and publicly, fora proof of it, to the next publications of the Board of Customs. Is this then a case for self-glorification and applause ? For the Moniteur perhaps it is ; but not for us." The same journal says, " It appears that there will be a modification of the Cabinet before the opening o the session. It is said that two Ministers are to re tire ; but neither of them will be M. JAYE, M. TREZEL, nor M. DE .MONTEIIELLO." The two Mi nisters alluded to as about to retire are M. DE SAL TANDY and M. CUNIN-GRIDAINB. The post of Governor of the Invalides, which has been declined both by Marshal SOULT and Marshal SEBASTIANI, will, it is said, b e g i ven to General PETIT. The Due D'AumALs was to embark for Ali Igiers on the 3d. The King and Queen of the BELGIANS, accom panied by the Princes and Princesses, their children, arrived in Paris at half-past five o'clock on Tuesday, by the Northern Railway. The Toulonnais publishes the following letter, giving an account of the movements of the French squadron on the coasts of Italy. The letter is dated Bay of Naples, Sept. 28. " I hasten to inform you that the squadron (that is the five ships of the line and the steam-frigate Asmodee) will leave Naples to-morrow morning, the 29th. The squadron will visit the entire coast of Italy, in order to exhibit our flag, and we are ordered to return to Toulon on the 20th of October. We calculate on arriving in that harbour, or at the islands of Hyeres, at the latest, on the 25th. The Descartes steamer sailed on the 27th for the Adriatic (Ancona and Venice). The Magellan proceeded on the same day to Leghorn and Genoa. Those two steamers are again to join the squadron towards the close of the month. The Panama is still on the coast of Barbary. She was expected yesterday, but had no doubt some good reason to remain at her post. I dare not venture a word respecting the affairs of ;Naples, which are enveloped in mystery. Nothing posi tive is known, the Government maintaining the most profound silence on the subject. Nevertheless, we have been assured that the insurgents had de feated the royal troops.

He immediately proceeded to the Adelphi Hotel, where he remained for the night. This afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, he embarked on board the Government tender Redwing, to inspect the o fficers and crews of the Government steamers in port, mail steamers from this port. At about two o'clock the Redwing, having on board the in full naval uniforms, came alongside St. George's Pier-head to wait his Lord ship's arrival. On his arrival at the pier the flags were hoisted, and the usual marks of respect observed. The Noble Earl was received by the principal officers, and immediately after embarking. proceeded down the river to the Sloyne, where the Medusa was lying at anchor. On his Lordship proceeding on board to inspect the vessel, the yards were manned. His Lordship, who was on board for some time, still remained there on his inspecting mission when our corresponden t sent off this account.

Sales, 2,500 to 3,000 bales.—Railway Shares continued exceedingly flat. The Money Market has been eased a little by the ability of the Bank of England to suffer loans to run on for a few days, and by the assumption that the active measures taken to urge on tax collections have placed the Government in ample funds to secure the dividend payments without any aid from the Bank. The intelli gence from Madrid, however, is, in a political point of view, so important, that it is considered in the City to be likely to bring matters to a crisis, and the game played by France will loosen still more the " friendly" relations existing with England. We happen to know, however, that in various quarters the preparations making by our Government are such as to command respect and ensure peace, if such can be main tained on honourable terms. As to any serious dif ficulties with France, active interference in Spanish affairs would probably be deprecated, and the improbability of the Spanish nation tamely sub mitting to foreign domination is held by many ex perienced parties in the City to be the beat guarantee against the ultimate succEss of the wily intrigues of the Tuileries Cabinet. The plot thickens, and all are anxious for its unravelment. The exchange comes lower from Hamburgh, viz. 13.5 i, with the price of gold at 433. Accounts of the 28th of September, from Memel, state that the English mail was looked for with great anxiety, and that if the failuresLootitinued, the trading community of Memel must siike s tlreatly. The letter's and papers which have come to hand from the West Indies give favourable reports upon agricul tural affairs, although money was scarce in the colonies, and the depreciation in prices was severely felt. From Mexico we learn that peace negotiations were still in progress, and it is hoped they will result in some thing favourable. Such an issue would, financially. both to England and the United States, be highly advan tageous. There has been scarcely any business doing in the Public Securities. Consols have ranged from 8411 to 84 for transfer, and from 64i to 841 for account. Ex chequer-bills have improved to 13s. and Bs. discount. The Spanish news depresses stocks. In the Foreign Market there has been some animation as regards Mexican Bonds, which have realised 18.1 to 191. Spanish Five per Cents. have been about 18 to 19, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 21 to 23. Brazil stock has bean at 76. Dutch Two-and-half per Cents, are Tab Railway Share Market has assumed again rather a fir'ir j eone, and there are many lines which range a little higher. A fair business is doing.

The system of military vengeance which has been from time immemorial the favourite course followel by the Mexicans in the event of an invasion, is, as we long ago anticipated, being carried into effect upon the American forces with the most murderous pre cision. Those forces are being cut to pieces by guerillas, among the central mountains of the repub lic, while the garrisons, left behind for the protection of the strongholds captured on the shores of the At lantic, are being decimated by the ravages of epidemic diseases. Yellow fever and ambuscades are the means perpetually afforded to the inhabitants of Mexico for wreaking vengeance upon their unprin cipled assailants, and for overwhelming the superior discipline and more formidable artillery of the American soldiery. Even supposing that the capital were actually in the possession of that most redoubtable warrior WINFIELD SCOTT, the safety of the country would be very far from being jeopardised. The miserable remnant of the United States' army—debilitated bT indifferent provisions, jaded with toilsome marches, dispirited by the uncertainty of its position, clothed in rags and harassed by incessant alarms —would still remain liable to destruction. They might be as readily surrounded at Churubusco or Tacubaya as they have recently been in the neighbourhood of Ceralvo, the different detachments of the forces under the supreme direction of the Commander-in -Chief may be rendered the victims of a well -arranged am buscade as certainly as was the scouting party o f Texans dispatched, under the command of Captain Bacton, to scour the country in the vicinity of Monterey. According Would to in formation received from Matamoras, i t seem that that unfortunate officer, togeth er w i th th e body of men committed to Mexican guerilloas, surroundedand, by some three hundred with the e xcep ti on o f th ree soldiers, wh escaped al most miracul ous ) by crawling into the chapparaT 'ct were literally hewn w down and trampled und er foot, when l ast seen, ass _.a, Captain —th dangeronsl unhorsedß—wasAYLOß fighting ough valiantly with h w i nunde a d i ; and w hile, of all his followers, b u t t h ree remained theirn s addles. But three—and hi mse lf wounded ts and un horsed in the midst of three hundred infuriated gue rillas ! One glimpse of the numbe r l ess horrors en sequent upon the atrocious incursions of the United States into the heart of. unoffending Mexico ! One g limpse —but it is a glimpse suggestive of a hundred others as horrible—a glimpse as startling and ferocious AS any limned by the brush of WOUVERMANS. While this little scouting party were being doomed to destruction on the outskirts of Ceralvo, General TAYLOR remained snugly ensconced behind the battlements of Monterey. From that city it would now actually appear that rough and tough old ZACHARY is determined on no account whatever liudgei *4 to the distance of a single furlong. Theik - s sir o ts6( Monterey are more agreeable in his estimation thaidoe possible scantiness, in the way of the commissariat'Supplies, which would in all likeli hood result from a precipitous advance towards San Luis Potosi. Within the battlements of Monterey, therefore, that division of the invading army is per manently established, or, at least, until such time as a Movement shall be rendered necessary by the course , THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY' EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1847.

A very limited supply of Englirh Wheat having been received up to our market this weak, the show of samples of that grain to-day was extremely small. As the quantity on offer was by no means equal to the wants of the buyers, the business transacted was trifling, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last. Selected qualities of Foreign Wheat were in steady re.. quest, at extreme currencies, but all ether kinds were a slow inquiry, at late rates. Malting Barley was in short supply. The demand was firm, at very full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts produced previorAs curren cies without difficulty. Superfine Malt, 13 . 411 old and new, was cleared off at is per quarter more money, owing to the short quantity brought for ward. The sale for Oats was by no means active, Set prices were sup ported.

Compared with that exhibited on several preceding Fridays, the supply of Beasts on sale to-day was small, and a very great deficiency was again apparent in its general quality. The few Prime Scots, &c., in the market moved off steadily, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday. Otherwise, the Beef trade was exceedingly heavy, at barely late rates. There were on offer 380 Oxen and Cows, 2,860 Sheep at.d Lambs, 143 Calves, 48 Pigs from Holland and Germany, 8 Oxen from Oporto, via Southampton, and 90 Scots from Scot land. The numbers of Sheep were small, yet the de mand for that description of stock was in a sluggish state, at but little, if any, alteration in the currencies. For Calves, the numbers of which were seasonably ex tensive, we have to report a firm inquiry, at our quota tions. In Pigs, very few sales took place, at unaltered figures.

The great pressure for money has, hitherto, kept the speculators. and indeed many of the merchants, wholly Out of the market : hence the few thousands we have to report are for immediate use —the brewers purchasing with great caution, although they are generally bare of stock—at a further reduction in the quotations of from 2s to 4s per cwt.

REGISTRATION. —(THIS DAY.) MARYLEBONE. The Revisin g B arr ist er, F. Bailey, Esq., sat in the new vestry rooms attached to St. Pancras workhouse, for the revision of the list of voters for the district of St. Pancras. The number of claimants were 50; of which 10 were from the Eastern division, 7 from the Southern, 6 from the Western, and 27 from the Northern divi sion of the district. Not the slightest case of general interest came on up to the time of our going to press. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY) IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—John Smith, a shabby dressed fellow, was placed before Mr. Hardwick, charged with stealing an antique China clock, the property of Mr. Richard Woolcott, 40, Lisle-street, Leicester-square. John Russell, general dealer, 5, New-street, Co vent Garden, stated that between seven and eight o'clock on the previous evening he was in Lisle street, when he saw two men enter the shop of Mr. Woolcott, and look at some prints near the door. The prisoner was outside, looking in at the window. The two other men appeared to engage the attention of the lad who was in the shop, and at that moment the prisoner rushed into the shop and took from off an ancient cabinet the china clock now produced. As the prisoner was leaving the shop witness laid hold of him, but he got away and ran as far as Sidney's-alley, where he dropped the clock. Wit ness got hold of him again and detained him till a constable came up, when he gave him in charge. Richard Woolcott said he was a dealer in ancient articles of furniture, &c., and resided at 40, Lisle street. The clock produced was his property, and worth about 3/. He saw it safe in his shop at seven o'clock last night, and could positively say that it had not been sold to any one. Police-constable 61 C said he was on duty in Leicester-square on the preceding evening, when he heard the cry of police proceed from Sidney's. alley. On going there, he saw the prisoner struggling with first witness, who gave the prisoner into custody for stealing the clock. The prisoner, who admitted the charge, was com. mitted for trial.

The mother of the unf or t unate girl stated that the injuries were inflicted on her daughter by the pri soner on Wednesday, th e 22d of last month. She did not witness it, but as f ar as she could gather from her daughter's account, the prisoner, who lodged in the house, came home rather intoxicated, and first beat his own wife, and on her daughter remonstrating with him, he knocked her down, kicked her dread fully, and almost broke her back over a stool, the consequence of which was she was confined to her pillow ever since, and gradually grew worse, till now there was little hope of her recovery, and the prisoner was accordingly g iven into custody. Mr. Henry _Ellison, surgeon, d e p ose d that he was called in to attend the prosecutrix' s da ug ht er on Wednesday last. O n examining h er th ere were no discolourations visible, but as a week had elapsed they might have disappeared. ” There was a swelli ng b e tween the two " scapula, which might have been caused by being knocked over a stool. She was also s uffering under intense mental excitement. She was at present in great danger of her life, arising from injured and diseased lungs. Mr. YARDLEY inquir e d if there was any other evidence ?—Police-constable K 50, said there was a young woman who, at the time of the occurrence, lodged in the house, and saw the whole affair, and if time were granted he could produce her. Mr. YARDLEY—That will be highly necessary, for at present there is no legal evidence on which to de tain this man. I shall, however, bind him over in the sum of 201. to appear at this court on Monday next, to which period I shall remand this charge ; and in the interim you must endeavour to procure this young woman, or some one who witnessed the transaction.
