MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY. The Past week's arrivals of all kinds of Grain, as well as of Flour, of home produce , were on a very moderate 7 4 , 1 et while th ose f rom I re l an d and Scotland were quite : ; 11 iraPortant. Of Foreign Corn the imports were large, 4,- 59,906 quarters o f Wh eat , 5,400 ditt o of Barley, .020,620 ditto of Oats, 1,708 ditto of Beans, 2,319 ditto of ' et "' 3,05 0 ditto of Indian Corn; together with 4,759 barrels re and 50 sacks of Flour. Fresh-up, to-day, the and of Wheat of home produce, coastwise, were 811141 from Essex; but those from Kent and Cambridge- Shire were tolerably good. By land-carriage the arrivals were 0 -- u a very moderate scale. On the whole the stands were fairly supplied with samples of both red and white, malelle the demand for all descriptions — owing , in some the to the small attendance of country buyers, and The large arrival of Foreign Wheat since Monday last, h tf lth-- the prospect of a heavy importation this week— fro of forty vessels laden with grain having sailed ,(411 Falmouth on Saturday for London—was in a very depressed state, at a decline in the quotations paid on Mon day last of from 2s to 3s per quarter, and at which a clearance was not effected. There was a somewhat extensive supply of foreign Wheat on the market, and the large portion of it was pressed for sale—especially ,erlnferior qualities—the trade was very dull, and the trencies receded 2s to 3s per quarter, without any i,ress . being made in sales. For export, compara reZY httle business was transacted. The show of Gondar; and Barley was small— that of the se ar; and out- of-coudition sorts moderately good. Malting parcels moved off steadily, at prices quite equal to those paid last week. In grinding and distilling sorts, though we cannot call them cheaper, only a limited business was transacted. superfine white Malt sold steadily, all other kinds slowly, at late rates. The total supply on offer was under 4,000 quarters. There was a moderate inquiry for really sound Oats, which were scarce, at full prices; but all other kinds were heavy, at barely late figures. The sluggishness in the trade was wholly produced by the large supply of inferior foreign Oats on the market. All kinds of Beans were in fair average supply, and slow inquiry, at lat e ra t es . I n P eas on l y a limited business was doing, yet price-i were mostly supported. Indian Corn and Meal were dull, and the turn lower. The Flour trade was heavy, but no actual decline took place in the quotations of English. Foreign qualities were Is per barrel cheaper.

The above falling off in the supplies is evidently the re sult of the very unrernunerative prices at which the foreign stock has been lately disposed of, and the great difficulty that has been frequently experienced in finding buyers for it at any price, arising from its wretchedly bad quality. As an instance of which we may state that a large portion of the Dutch Sheep here this morning have been ineffectually offered for sale on several pre vious market days ; and not a few of the recent arrivals have changed hands as low as 6s to 8s each. Until, therefore, a decided improvement takes place in the con dition of the foreign stock this will never prove a very profitable market to the graziers. At the outports, about 1,800 head of Beasts, Sheep, Calves, and Pigs have been landed, wholly, we believe, from Holland, in very middling condition, and which have been offering in the various local markets at low figures. Owing to the pre vailing fogs, several of the foreign steamers laden with stock had not arrived at the usual hour this morning ; consequently, the show of Dutch and German Beasts, &c., was, comparatively speaking, small, while the quality was again very interior. The numbers consisted of about 220 Oxen and Cows, 1,200 Sheep and Lambs, 50 Calves, and 20 Pigs. The Bullock droves from our various grazing districts, fresh up to-day, were seasonably ex tensive as to numbers ; but their quality was by no means first-rate. The few really prime Beasts on offer commanded a very steady sale, at, in some instances, an ' advance in the quotations of 2d per Sib, the primest Scots producing 4s 8d per 81b, without difficulty, and the value of all other breeds was well sup ported, the general Beef trade ruling firm. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, &e,, we received about 1,700 short-horns ; from the eastern, western, and midland districts, 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, Irish beasts, &c.; from other parts of England, 750 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 220 horned and polled Scots; the remainder of the Bullock supply being derived from abroad, and the neighbour hood of London. Notwithstanding there was a decided falling-off in the numbers of Sheep, the Mutton trade was by no means active; still, however, a fair clearance of the sheep pens was effected, at prices fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight. Prime old Downs sold at 53 2d per Blbs. The supply of Calves being small, on a comparison with that exhibi•ed on several previous market days, the Veal trade was firm at Fri day's advance in the currencies of 2d per Blbs—the highest figure being 4s 8d per Blbs. Prime small Porkers commanded a ready sale, at, in some few in stances, a rise in value of 2d per Blbs. All other kinds of Pork sold at fully last week's quotations. Calves.

On the whole, full average time of year supplies of country-killed Meat have been received up to these mar kets during the past week. With that slaughtered in the metropolis we have been tolerably well supplied as to quantity, but the quality has proved very inferior. Each kind of prime Meat has commanded a steady sale, at fully previous quotations. In all other qualities only a limited amount of business has been transacted, at barely stationary prices. About 2,000 carcases of Foreign Meat—killed in London—have been on offer in very bad condition. At per stone by the Carcase. s. d. to s. d. ! s. d. to s. d.

Although there is rather more bus ness doing in most kinds of new Hops than for some weeks past, we have not the slightest improvement to notice in the quota tions, which are now ruling lower than for a series of years past. Yearling and old Hops may be purchased at unusually low rates. The duty is called 190,0001. New Hops—Sussex pockets, 31 to 4/ ; Weald of Kent, ditto, 41 to 4145; Mid and East Kent ditto, 41 lOs to 51195, CAPTURE OF THREE SLAVERS BY THE FERRET. By a French steamer, arrived here from St. Thomas's, we have accounts of the capture of four slave vessels—three of them by the Ferret, 8, Com mander Sprigg. The first captured by the Ferret was taken June 27th, after a long chase by night. She was a Brazilian brigantine of 180 tons, fully equipped, and bound to Cape LopE z. The Ferret, three weeks after that, captured a small schooner named the Sebastiano, also fully equipped ; and on the 16th of July, off Marguerita, gave chase to a Brazilian brig, which turned out on capture to be the Faiska. She heat the Ferret in sailing; but the wind falling light, Mr. Mitchell, the master, with a boat's crew, was detached from the cruizer after her. Great credit is due to Mr. Mitchell for the gal lant and spirited manner in which he dashed along side and seized the slaver, who, from her appearance, was just the craft to make some . resistance, especially as from the time the boat shoved off to coming up with her she had gained two miles on the Ferret. She is a splendid craft, and quite new. She was from llamburgh, Liverpool, and Rio, which was the only trip she had made previous to being captured. She had a picked crew of twenty men, notwith standing they all threw their arms into the sea when the Ferret's boat got within hailing distance. The Rapid, Commander Dixon, captured her prize off Loango, on the 6th of July. It was a Brazilian brigantine of 160 tons.—Scotch Reformers Gazette. SMACK RUN DOWN BY A STEAMER. About five o'clock on Tuesday morning, the Cecilia, a small decked smack of fifteen tons register, belong ing to Campbelton, and trading between that port and this city, was run down in the channel between Bro dick and Ardrossan, while returning home laden with coals, by the steamer Vanguard, from Dublin. The crew on board the smack—consisting of Archibald M'Millan, sen., the master ; Archibald M'Millan, jun., his son, aged 21 ; and a boy, about 14 years of age, named Robert Hennie—saw the lights of the steamers a considerable way ahead, when the boy Hennie showed a light, which did not seem to be observed, as the Vanguard held on directly in the same course as the smack. On the approach of the steamer those on board the Cecilia added shouts to their signal light, but these also seemed to be disregarded by the 100k -out of the Vanguard, which came on at full speed, and struck the smack amid-ship, completely cutting her in two. The after-part of the vessel, in which was the younger M'Millan, who was steering at the time, immediately went down, and the unfortunate man was seen no - more. The fore-part, on which were the elder 111‘111illan and the boy, went down also, but, getting rid of the cargo, it turned keel up permost and floated, throwing the two persons who were on deck underneath. Fortunately both could swim, and by extricating themselves they were enabled to get to the surface, laying hold of part of the wreck, which they clung to till rescued. The master had a narrow escape from being struck by the paddle of the steamer as it passed him at full speed. Those on board the Vanguard observed what had taken place as the wreck was floating past, but the steamer was a considerable way ahead before she was stopped. A boat was then lowered, and the survivors were taken from the wreck. The unfortunate suf ferers were in a very exhausted condition, having been about twenty minutes in the water. On board the Vanguard every attention was paid to them by the passengers and crew. We understand that this matter will be made the subject of investigation by the proper authorities.—Scotch Reformer's Gazette. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Who is my Husband .? Such is the question pro pounded divers times by Mrs. Smith Thompson, a formidable woman in black velvet (admirably per sonated by Mrs. W. Clifford) to the unfortunate Daniel Tootles (who can he be with such a name but Keeley ?), an apothecary's assistant in a remote village. Mrs. S. T., it appears, had, some years before, com mitted matrimony with a dashing sea captain, who, three days after the marriage, was compelled to ab scond, and who possessed such a number of aliases, that she never could make out who he was. She has not, however, been left to starve. A certain weekly allowance is regularly paid to her by Daniel Tootles ; as regularly she asks who is her husband, and as regularly is answered that Daniel knows nothing of the matter. At length Daniel himself is about to be united to the fair Sophonisba Mull, his master's daughter, but the wedding party is broken in upon by Mrs. S. T. with her regular in• quiry. Sophonisba becomes jealous, and Tootles, in the madness of his desperation, declares that Mrs. S. T. is his wife, that if she is not he will marry her, and keep continually marrying her every day and all day long before the door of the jealous Sophonisba. He, moreover, threatens to go to London and plunge into the vortex of dissipation by visiting the playhouses, the casinos, and Wal halla. The acting of Keeley and Mrs. W. Clifford kept the audience in a roar for half an hour, when the opportune return of the lost husband put an end to the fun, and restored Daniel Tootles to the arms of the repentant Sophonisba. The farce was announced for repetition amidst general applause. It was pro ceeded by London Assurance and succeeded by Twice Killed. The House was crowded. OLD SHEATHING.—It has been decided by the Revenue authorities that old metal sheathing, stripped from British vessels, in foreign ports, is e n titled obe admitted free of duty, on the same term s as apply to old copper sheathing similarly circumstanced. A vessel, recently arrived from abroad, has brought a quantity of this old metal sheathing, stripped from her in a foreign port, from which she has returned, and is about to he re-coppered or re-sheathed, and on an application from the master, who .was also the owner of the vessel, in which it appeared that the sheathing had not changed hands, but hal continued to be property, to which effect he was competent to make declaration, permission has been given for its delivery, duty free. WORCESTER HOP-MARKET, SATURDAY, OCT. 16. —We had a further decline in prices at our hop-market to day, and matters do not appear likely to mend as long as the pressure upon the money- market is main tained. Usually, at this season of the year, we have re presentatives from most of the great hop houses in Lon don and other places, who buy up the growth, but this year the buyers are very limited in number, and every thing like speculation is abandoned. The following are to day's prices, where sales have been effected : New hops, per cwt., 60s. to 70s. ; ditto, inferior, 50s. to 60s ; yearlings, 555. to 655. ; old olds, 30s. to 50s. Although the Kent planters are endeavouring to obtain a postponement of the payment of duty, the Worcester planters have not yet stirred in the matter ; the Wor cester duty is estimated at somewhere about 2,0001. Last year the duty paid for the Worcester district was 36,0811. 19s. 5Ad., being the largest amount on record as having been paid for this district, with thelexception of that for the year 1808 ; Worcester hops then fetched 80s. to 9.05. for best, and 60s. to 80s. for inferior. Unless grace is obtained at head-quarters the duty will be collected in about three weeks or a month from this time. The number of pockets of hops weighed at the public scales to-day have been —new, 97 ; old, 69. The number weighed in the week, since last Saturday, has been— new, 51; old, 40. CUSTOMS APPOINTMENT.---Mr. Howe, senior in spector of the waterside department of tho Customs in London, succeeds Mr. Weston, the late surveyor-general. Observer. ROTHSCHILD ' S WlDOW.—Amidst the gothic facades and the sombre buildings that characterise Jew street, at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, is to be seen a small man sion, which is distinguished from all the rest by its cleanly, neat, and cheerful appearance. There dwells the widow of M. A. Rothschild. In that mansion he acquired his wealth, and a name that is known in what ever quarter of the globe you travel. His widow has declared that there she will continue to reside until she is transferred to the tomb ; and yet palaces are occu pied by her family in Paris, London, Vienna, and Naples. MUNIFICENT BEQUESTS.-011 Saturday the Society for the Relief of Prisoners for Small Debts received a legacy of 2702, bequeathed by Miss Emma Turner; and 2381. from the late Robert Sorrell, Esq., in aid of the funds of this society. ACCIDENT AT AN IRON FOUNDRY.—On Friday, as five men, employed at the iron foundry of Mr. Mahon, at Manchester, were working a travelling crane (such as is used by stone masons) on two elevated wooden beams, to lift some girders for a railway bridge, one of the beams suddenly broke under the immense weight they were moving, and they were precipitated, along with the crane, to the earth. One of the men (James Mason) was so severely hart that he survived the acci dent only a few hours. Three others were conveyed to the Infirmary, with but slight hopes of recovery ; but the fifth man, strange to say, escaped without the slightest injury. They fell a depth of about twenty feet. It is believed gnat the beam was strong enough for the purpose, with ordinary care, but the men had not attached the slinging chain, so as to prevent a slip, and the sudden jerk thus produced snapped the balk of timber in two. A YOUNG SPORTSMAN.—Master Francis James Mackenzie, of Applecross, a youth of 13, has brought down several splendid deer during this season; and a few days ago two fine animals were shot by him right and left.—Glasgow Paper. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—ANOTHER LIFE LOST IN THE TUNNEL.—LaSt Wednesday after noon, between three and four o'clock, another fatal ac cident took place in the tunnel, whereby a person of the name of M'Grigor lost his life. We are not able to give the particulars of the accident, as we could get no infor mation from the railway officials, who appear to be anxious that it should be concealed from the public.

The imports of Wool, during the week ending on Saturday, was very extensive, viz. 244 bales from St. Peteraburgh, 1,142 ditto from Algoa Bay, 320 ditto from Hamburgh, 201 ditto from Bombay, 36 ditto from the Cape, and 6,150 ditto from Sydney. The public sales, of 27,000 packages, will commence on Thursday next. In the meantime, the demand for all kinds of Wool by private contract is heavy, and, in most in stances, the quotations have declined id. per lb. The pressure of English qualities on the market is by no means great. ALOW. In conseq uence of th T e heavy arrivals, and the con tinued depression in the Money market, the prices of Tallow have receded, and the market is heavy at the. quotations of this morning. Several of the vessels hare arrived here before information was received from St. Petersburgh of their sailing from thence. Town Tallow is still scarce. The net cash price is 49s to 50s 6d per cwt. ASSOCIATE INSTITUTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF WOMEN. (THIS DAY.) The annual meeting of this society was held to-day at the Freemason's Hall B. B. Cabbell, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The SECRETARY read letters of apology from the Bishop of Chichester, tke Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Spoorer. Esq., M.P. (who recommended that Lord Denman should be requested to introduce a Bill next session, which should be free from the ob. jections made to the measure of that gentleman), W. Ewart, Esq., M.P., and R. D. Mangles, Esq., M. 1 . 3., all of whom expressed their approval of the objects of the society. The Secretary then read the report. It appeared that there was a slight increase in the funds of the Society. A memorial numerously signed by the females of England had been presented to the Queen, and the report concluded by stating that much good had been effected by the efforts of the Society. From the financial statement it appeared that there was a balance from the last audit of 65/. 18s. 41., while the gross receipts amounted to 1,0471. 1 ls. Bd., making a total of 1,1131. 103. 10., while the expen diture amounted during the past year to 1,0731.85. 6d., leaving a balance in hand of 401. ls. 71d. Theßev. E.

ASTBURY Esq., seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. The Rev. J. GreNvILL proposed, and G. ROPER, Esq., seconded, a vote of thanks to Mr. Spooner, and the gentlemen in Parliament who supported his Bill. Thanks having been voted to and acknowledged by the Chairman, the meeting separated.

As ma , be imagined, the conveyances which were available were ) soon hired and en route to London, leaving a great number behind. It is a considerable time since so many vehicles were on the Old coach road. The conveyances, fortunately, reached Greenw ich in time for the last rail way train to town, but many who lived on the other side of the water were obliged, however tired and weary, to wend their way to Rotherhithe and through the Thames Tunnel. FATAL ACCIDENT AT MESSRS. RENNIE'S FOUNDRY. —On Saturday night, whilst the workmen of this firm were engaged in lowering some machinery into a boat alongside the wharf; the machinery or chain struck one of the men.

The Hon. and Rev. C. L. Courtenay officiated. Dispatches were received at the Colonial-office, on Saturday evening, from the Governor of Gibraltar. WINDSOR, SUNDAY EVENING.—The Queen and Prince Albert walked to- day in the ornamental grounds of the Home Park, attended by Lady Gainaborough, the maids of honour, and the gentlemen of the Court, in the Windsor uniform. At two o'clock the terraces and parterre were thrown open to the public, who at tended in great numbers, and her Majesty and the Prince, attended by the Court, walked once round the Pentagon-terrace, and several times to and fro along the Eastern-terrace to the great gratification of the persons assembled, who with more curiosity than decorum, thronged the path of her Majesty wherever she passed. Both the military bands were stationed in the parterre, and played the National Anthem during her Majesty's promenade round the Pentagon-terrace. The mortal remains of the Right Hon. Sir Robert Gordon were consigned to the grave on Friday forenoon, in the burial-ground belonging to Methlic village church, a short distance from Haddo House, the Earl of Aber deen's seat. The funeral was conducted very privately. The mourners on the solemn occasion were the Earl of Aberdeen, Rear-Admiral the Hon. W. Gordon, M.P., the Marquis of Abercorn, Lord Haddo, Lord Claud Hamilton, Captain the Hon. Alexander Gordon, and Captain Hamilton, R.N. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford have arrived at Woburn Abbey, Beds, from Trentham, Staffordshire, where their graces had been on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland. The Noble Duke and Duchess will receive a succession of visitors at Woburn Abbey, in the course of the ensuing month. MADEMOISELLE ALBONI.—The Parisian critics are in raptures with Alboni and her " elegance, purity, and flexibility of style," and literally astounded at the extraordinary compass of her vocal scale, from F in the bass cleff to C sharp above the lines in the treble. After her Hungarian campaign, Mademoiselle Alboni will return to Paris in January, and there remain till March. In the winter of 1848 she will spend six months in the French capital. The directors already talk of having parts " created" for her by the composers. The Duke of Devonshire returned to Hardwicke Hall, Derbyshire, on Thursday, from visiting the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland at Trentham. The Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde received Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston and a select party to dinner on Friday last, at their residence on Carlton House -terrace. IRON STEAM -BOAT COMPANY.—On Saturday much interest was occasioned along both sides of the river Thames by the sudden and unexpected stoppage of the whole of the steam-boats belonging to the Iron Steam boat Company, viz., Matrimony, Bride, Bridegroom, Bridesmaid, Wedding-ring, &c. It appears that when the men were paid on Friday night the engineers and stokers received notice that in future their wages would e lowered, and, in consequence, the whole of the engi neers and stokers struck. The captains, not being aware of that circumstance, went, as usual, to their beats, when, to their no small surprise, they perceived that no fires had been made, and no steam generated. Upon in quiry as to the cause, they L arned that the engineers and stokers would not attend the boats unless the Com pany would promise that they should receive their full pay for their services. The captains of the two upper boats, which leave Chiswick and Kew, not knowing that the other vessels had stopped, started as usual, don n the river ; but, on reaching Nine Elms, the engineers and stole( rs finding the funnels of the other boats lowered, and learning what had taken place, also refused to work, and the whole of the boats were, consequently, laid up Tor the remainder of the day. On Saturday night the directors of the company met at Nine Elms, and after discussing the subject for some time, they issued an order to the captains that they were to get the steam up, and if a sufficient number of engineers and stokers could be obtained from the manufactory at Greenwich, the boats should start ;the same as usual on Sunday. This was accordingly done, and the boats continued running dur ing the day.

We regret to announce to you the suspension of payments by the Royal Bat.li of Liverpool this day. A deputation of the directory is now in the me tropolis, with the view to obtain assistance, and if happily it succeeds, the establishment will resume operations. The suspension results from the absence of notes and specie with which to perform the ordinary busi ness of the bank ; an evil resulting in part from the universal 'contraction of the currency, and specially also from the excitement created by the recent forced sales of the Bank Stock fur cash, at a very low figure, referred to in the public journals. A run upon the resources of the bank followed the statement of the fall in its stock. The Royal Bank of Liverpool is a joint-stock es tablishment, and was first opened in January, 1839. From the commercial article of the Albion of this morning we make the following extract with regard to the state of commercial affairs in Liverpool : SATURDAY EVENING. We have witnessed this week the severest pressure that has yet been felt during the present monetary crisis, the commercial markets and the Stock Ex change being simultaneously acted upon by pressing demands for money ; the former chiefly from the large amount of bills falling due within the next two days, and the latter from the settlement of a heavy " Bull" account in Consols, and the repayment to the Bank of loans upon stock. The immediate cause of the pres sure is, therefore, passing away, the Consol account having been settled, the loans repaid, and the bulk of the bills retired, so that should no further sus pensions be reported within the next three days, " the darkest hour that precedes the dawn" will, in all probability, be past, for every day re duces the amount of bills payable, which by de creasing the demands for cash, is tantamount to an increased circulation. We regret to state that several failures have occurred in Liverpool during the week, al though it is gratifying to add that the aggregate amount of the liabilities is not heavy. The parties are Matthew Steele and Son, soap manufacturers ; Mocatta and Son, and Samuel and J. L. Mocatta, West India merchants; William Pearce, commission agent; Brown, Tod, and Co., provision dealers; P. Cornthwaite, wholesale grocer ; and A. Mitchell and Co., American merchants, besides several share brokers and stockjobbers. Letters were received this morning from St Petersburgh to the 6th October, which state that a violent snow storm commenced on the 2d, and con tinued with little interruption till the sth, and that the mass of snow that had fallen was immense. A return of mild weather, however, was expected, the early severity being no evidence of its continuance. Exchange on London was 38k. TATTERSALL'S-THIS EVENING. Six O'CLOCK.

In our last we gave some particulars of a fatal accident in a chapel at Bacup, caused by a ground less panic, which led to three persons being killed by the crush at the entrance door of the chap', on the false alarm being given. An inquest was held on Wednesday afternoon last at three o'clock, at the George and Dragon Inn, at Bacup, before Mr. John Hargreaves, coroner. It appeared from the evidence that there were two distinct panics or alarms, but there was no doubt that it was in the rush consequent on the first that the fatality occurred which deprived three unfortunate persons of life. It seems that 'in the chapel near the door, in a sort of aisle, stood a store for warming the chapel in winter. The chapel being crowded in every part, there was quite a throng of persons standing about the stove, and some leaning against it. This, it is supposed, moved it a little, probably about three inches. The horizontal pipe, carried along under the gallery to diffuse the heat, was supported by an iron rod, carried up and secured to the bottom of the gallery. When the stove was moved the upright rod gave way at the fastening, and the pipe, at a joint, went downwards only a few inches, with a sort of cracking noise. Some persons immediately apprehended that the gal lery was giving way, and they shouted " The gallery is falling ;" others cried out that it was the chapel. The panic spread notwithstanding the efforts of the minister, and there was an immediate rush to the outer door, in the midst of which the deceased were knocked down and trampled upon. The chapel was crowded to excess, from the unusual attraction of hearing a female preach. It seems that a Mrs. Jack son, of Wakefield, had engaged to preach in this chapel both in the forenoon and evening of Sunday last. Both Mrs. Jackson and:the Rev. Mr. New ton, the regular minister of the chapel, were in the pulpit at the time of the alarm ; and Mr. Newton immediately implored the congregation to remain seated; assuring them that there was no danger. Unfortunately but very few gave heed to his words ; and when the panic was over, very few per sons remained in the chapel, and these chiefly in the gallery. Being unaware of the fatal circumstances attending the rush of the people out of the chapel, and being desirous to restore confidence the choir commenced singing a doxology ; on which a man in the crowd outside advanced to a window on the ground floor, apparently in a state of great excite ment and apprehension, struck the glass repeatedly with his hands till he broke a pane, and then shouted through the aperture, " Are you going to stop there till you are killed ? The place is falling." Imme diately a second panic was produced; there was a second rush to the door ; and two or three persons, who had been assisting to extricate the weak and feeble in the first rush were thrown down ; but this time it was unattended with any serious conse quences. It appeared by the evidence that Mr. William Smith, cotton manufacturer, Bacup, made great, and in many instances successful exertions, to rescue the weaker persons who had been thrown down, and that he extricated Mary Ashworth while yet living. The boy, Moorhouse, was taken up by a man named John Earnshaw, warehouseman to Mr. Lord ; and Mr. John Burton, schoolmaster, extri cated young Richard Law. These, and other wit nesses, distinctly stated that all three deceased were found lying outside the chapel door. The jury, after deliberating a few minutes, returned a verdict of Accidental Death. All the other sufferers are im proving, and likely to do well.—Manchester Guardian. THE ISLE OF ELY POISONINGS.—The jury, after a most patient inquiry, have at length retu rne d a ver di ct in the cases of child poisoning at Manea. They enter tain no doubt that the children were poisoned, and that by arsenic ; but the evidence was not sufficient to carry the crime home to any Individual ; but we sincerely hope that circumstances will, ere long, arise to lead to the discovery and punishment of the perpetrator of this most dreadful crime. Here have three children been cruelly and deliberately murdered ; a circumstance of so dreadful a nature, that the contemplation of it fills the mind with horror ; and yet, such is the ignorance and brutality of the wretched inhabitants, totally devoid of any moral feeling or restraint, that they laugh at the proceedings of the Coroner, and devote the day of the inquest to revelry and drunkenness. While the jury were deliberating (says our reporter) the scene below beggared description. Aubrey was in a state of intoxication, and Hartley half drunk ; Youngs sat in a state of silent stolidity, but his better half did talking for them both. The most obscene language was made use of, and the witnesses, one and all, seemed to care more about the money they would receive f or t h e i r attendance than for their deceased children. One of the others, indeed, went so far as to say, that " Ile did not know but the old woman was right after all. There was a deal too many of 'em, and nine O•it of every ten ought to be put out of the way." Thi s i s, indeed, a dreadful picture ; and if there is a difficulty in raising the people from so degraded a state, where there appears to be no moral restraint whatever, surely it is the duty of Go vernment to impose a heavy penalty on all chemists who sell • of poison any description except the purchaser has some person with hi m cr h er, and to make it illegal to sell arse nic at all unless it hes been coloured.—Cam bridge Independent. 1:11E GLASGOW LONDON MAlL.—This mail now arrives about three hours sooner than formerly—the morning arrives at 24 minutes past 5, and the evening at 34 minutes past 5.

The pressure for money in Liverpool continues unabated, and, though comparatively few failures have taken place, we fear our troubles are not by any means over. On Saturday a memorial, which originated with the American Chamber of Commerce, lay for signature in the Exchange-room, and soon received the signatures of a vast body of merchants and ship owners. We subjoin a copy of the document. We understand that a highly-respectable deputation will forthwith proceed with this memorial to London, and, in order to give due weight and importance to the representations of the merchants, they have formally requested Mr. W. Brown, M.P, for the county, and Mr. Cardwell, M.P. for the borough, to attend them on the presentation of the memorial to Lord John Russell. We understand that Sir T. Birch may possibly have arrived from the continent, in which case the Hon. Baronet will also accompany the de putation : "TO TILE RIGHT HON. THE LORD JOHN RUSSELL, FIRST LORD OF TIER MAJESTY'S TREASURY. "The memorial of the undersigned bankers, mer chants, traders, and others, inhabitants of Liverpool " Showetli,—that your memorialists beg respect fully to represent to your Lordship the present de plorable condition of the trade, commerce, and manu factures of the country, and the imperative necessity for such immediate relief as it may be in the power of the Government to afford. Produce, of every de scription, is only saleable in small quantities, and at an enormous sacrifice. Bills of exchange, and the most valuable securities, are unconvertible into cash, even at great depreciation, except in the most insig nificant amounts. Foreign orders for produce and goods cannot be executed for want of the customary facilities for disposal of bills drawn against them. Confidence is all but annihilated, and the currency of the country in a great measure withdrawn and hoarded. "It is needless, on this occasion, to inquire by what combination of causes this lamentable state of affairs has been brought about : a crisis of unparalleled severity exists, and your memorialists believe that it is in the power of the Government to allay alarm and restore confidence by coming to the relief of the commercial and manufacturing classes by a temporary advance on the credit of the country. Your memorialists believe it is not only the duty but the interest of Government to afford relief, inasmuch as they confidently beli?ve that the utter prostration of the manufacturing and commercial interests cannot otherwise be prevented, whereby the labouring population will be immediately thrown out of employment, arid an amount of misery and destitution will be witnessed unexampled in the annals of the country. " Your Lordship may depend upon us when we assure you, that, if the present pressure be not re lieved, merchants and other traders, of undoubted respectability—who are not only solvent, but rich, and who have merchandise and bills which, under ordinary circumstances, would afford easy and ample means of meeting engagements—will inevitably be compelled to stop payment." A WELSH MAGISTRATE..-...A. traveller having made an excellent supper at an inn in North Wales, observed that " nobody could have made a better." " Stop, stop," said the landlord, " you are in Wales, Sir, and must not make personal comparisons, without adding,' the Mayor excepted.' " " No!" rejoins the other, " I'll neither ex cept Mayor or Alderman; I say no man COJ Id have made a better supper than I have done." " Will you not?" said Boniface, " then let me tell you you'll be fined five shillings." " Fined or confined, it matters Rot, I'll not except a soul of them." The landlord made his bow and exit, but the next morning summoned his guest before the Mayor for this act of petty treason, and the fine was in consequence exacted and paid; when the traveller, turning round to the landlord in open court, thus ad dressed him:—" I have travelled through the greater part of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and, except the identical animal that chews the thistle, I have never met with so egregious an ass as you are, landlord," and then turning with an air of profound reverence to the bench, he added—" the Mayor excepted."—Shropshire Conser vative.

LIBEL UPON SIR JOHN GERARD, BART.—OD Fri day evening, at five o'clock, a schoolmaster named Daniel Rile, of Eccleston, near Lancaster, was brought before the magistrates at Wigan, charged with publishing " a scandalous, wicked, and malicious libel on Sir John Gerard, Bart., of Ashton in-the-Willows." It appeared from the evidence that Sir John and Lady Gerard had been annoyed by the receipt of numerous anonymous letters, reflecting upon the conduct of the former, and charging him with immorality and seduction. It was evident that the letters had been written with the object of producing estrangement between Sir John and Lady Gerare; and the motive appears to have originated in Sir Joh Gerard having caused Rile's discharge from a :cheol at Ashton, of which he had been the master. The h an dwriting of the prisoner having been satisfactorily proved, he was committed to the assizes for trial. Our readers will remember, that on the 23d of June last M. Adolphe I)enain, a young man of a distinguished family, called upon M. Merilhou, peer of France, his legal guardian, and after some altercation, demanded his signature to an order on the treasurer of the Court of Cassation for 1,800 f., and a promissory note for 3,000 f., comply leaded purporting to be a balance of account d ue f rom M .

He was on Friday brought t o tr i a l f or the money by menaces. He was found attempt to ext or t guilty, and senten ce d out expos to five years of reclusion, without exposure on the '1 - EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ABDUCTION. On Friday last a serious charge was brought at the instance of the Mayor of Worcester (Mr. F. T. Elgie) against the inspector of police of that city (Mr. Phillips) and two of the sergeants in the police force, named Chipp and Bateman. The charge was for having assisted a gent l eman named Smith, who re sides at Woo:Ion-under-Edge, in Gloucestershire, in forcibly carrying away his wife, a lady sixty-five years of age, from her lodgings at the house of a Mr. Hey wood, at Boughton-street, St. John's, near Worcester. The charge was publicly mad e before the watch com mittee of the Worcester Town Council, in whose hands the police regulations of the city are placed. From the statements of the several parties made before the committee, it appeared that Mrs. Smith and her husband, having disagreed on family affairs, se parated some years since, and Mrs. Smith had lived for the last six years in lodgings at Mr. Heywood's. Latterly, for some reasons which need not here be al luded to, Mr. Smith was desirous of obtaining pos session of his wife, and accordingly his solicitor, having obtained the aid of the two sergeants of police, proceeded to Mr. Heywood's residence, where, having got into the h ouse , M r . S m ith carried off his wife in his arms to a carriage which was waiting for her in the street. Mr. Heywood interposed, and at tempted to prevent her being carried off, as Mrs. Smith called to him to come to her aid; but the po lice held him fast, and would not permit him to inter fere. The wife was, therefore, carried off scream ing in a shocking manner, and was taken directly to the residence of her husband in Gloucestershire. The committee considered the conduct of the sergeants in interfering at all in the matter as most improper, but their defence was that they acted under the direction of Mr. Phillips, their inspector, by whom they were instructed to accompany the attorney (Mr. Knipe) to Mr. Heywood's house—whence a man was going, as they had been informed, to fetch his wife—to see that no breach of the peace was committed, and they said that in observing the orders of their superior officer they did not consider they were acting illegally, or doing more than their duty. They had had no re muneration for what they had done, neither did they expect any. Inspector Phillips at once admitted that his instructions to the sergeants were to the effect already stated by them, and what blame there was in the matter attached to himself. He was applied to by the attorney of Mr. Smith for the presence of two of the police, as an endeavour was to be made by a person to obtain possession of his wife. He in quired if it was legal, and the attorney assured him that it was, and that all he had to do was to see that no breach of the peace was committed. After hear ing the whole of the facts, the committee passed a severe censure upon the inspector and two sergeants of police, intimating that they should have dismissed the latter, had they not acted entirely under the con trol of their superior officer, the inspector. MA RYLZBON E VESTRY, SAT URDAY.—APPALLING INCREASE OF PAUPERISDI.—Mr. G. Daniell said that ho was about introducing a subject connected with the pro perty of the parish and the interests of the poor. It was said by certain individuals that the poor, if left to the tender mercies of the Poor-law Commissioner!, would be better treated than they were by the local go• vernments. Marylebone, by the extent of its charity, and the amount for which it had overdrawn its bankers, contradicted that assertion.—(Hear, hear.) The New Poor-law R•'moval Act—the transfer of the support of the poor from the landed interest to the cities and towns —the sums of =my gone from this country to Ire land, and the restrictions that had been placed upon trade by the corn-laws—brought about the dreadful results that occurred, and still threatened the coun try.—(Hear, hear.) At such a crisis he called upon them to do their duty to the parish and the pool ; and as the begging-box would on to-morrow (Sun day) be sent round their churches for the Irish ; he hoped that before they subscribed towards them they would remember their own poor at home.—(Loud crie of " hear, hear.") He concluded by moving that Sir C. Scott and Co. be requested to advance 10,0001. at per cent, for three months, on a resolution of the vestry. Mr. C. H. Wilson, who attributed the increase of pauperism to the absence of employment, consequent on the stoppage of public works and buildings, seconded the resolution. Mr. Joseph strongly objected to tho collections made yesterday for the Irish. The Rev. Robert Walpole, rector of Christchurch, said that although he was bound to obey the order of his bishop, and announce a collection in aid of the Irish, yet it was his intention to circulate two sets of handbills—the ono stating that it was the wish of many persons to raise a subscription for the poor of the parish, the other con taining the bishop's injunctions to subscribe for the Irish and Scotch. The motion having been adopted it was forwarded to Sir Claude Scott and Co., and a committee was appointed to wait for their answer in the court house. The vestry rose at three O'clock. It has been currently reported that France is about. to send a force of several thousand, men to the River Plate for the purpose of taking possession of Monte Video, upon the plea of protecting French subjects and their property. This is, however, a mere pretext. We have before shown that France has had a strong desire to establish a settlement there lied she been sincere in her professed intention to bring about a price, it might Ling since have been accomplished by wiihdrAwing the in direct support which lies been given to the armed legion. It is now, boa ever, high time that our merchants and manufacturers bestir themselves, and consider the im portance of this subject, for should Fiance once get the ascendancy in the River Plate, our commerce e i!1 re.. ccive a serious check. We would alsa call the attention thereto of the bondholders, because, so long as matters remain in their present state, or if ailowed to go worse. there will be no chance of their getting dividends. \Vu consider the best course w1:1 be for all parties to unite in urging upon the Government the necessity of main taining the independence of these South American States, and not allow the interference with or occupation of them by an armed French force. There can be no doubt that Lord Howden saw through the intrigue going on between the foreign party in Monte Video and Count Walewski, or he would not have withdrawn on the part of England, and raised the blockade.— Post. PUNISHING ALL PARTIES.—OH the 20th ult. the Hamburgh merchantman the ineedendence, Captain Schaecht, arrived at Hamburgh from New York. Among her crew, of 30 men, was a free negro named Prim, who was the butt of the rest of the sailors. They made him believed that the captain intended to throw him over board and leave him to be drowned. In a spirit of re venge Prim got a hatchet, and stealing into the cabin during, the night struck the captain with it; but wounded him so slightly that he was able to get up, overpower the black, and have him pinioned and thrown into the pigstye, where he remained cramped up till the ship arrived in port, when Captiin Schaecht delivered him up to justice, and prosecuted him for an attempt to murder. Prim, on the other hand, laid a complaint against the captain and crew for ill-treatment. The double trial came to a hearing on the 7th, the result of which was that Prim was sentenced to confinement with hard labour for 12 months, the captain to simple im prisonment for six months, and the crew to the like punishment for one, two, and three months for pro •- moting the animosity of Prim by their false representa tion.—Galignani. DGING BUSINESS.—A culprit from Dundee, who at Perth was tried, convicted, and sentenced to banishment last Wednesday evening, officiated on the previous morning in Dundee, as hangman's assistant, at the exe cution of Thomas Leith. He had 51. for his services, of which be gave his counsel 21. to defend him on his trial. COUNTY or CLARE.—It is evident, from the num ber of outrages which are being daily perpetrated around us, that some combined movement against the laws of the land and the well-Ming of society is now in progress among a portion of our populatit ; and it is much to be feared that, throughout the approaching winter there will be no safety for life nor security for property unless some effectual means be adopted in order to suppress the risins spirit o f i nsu b or di na ti on . On We d nesday night, as Thomas Connell and Thomas Slattery fired atterywe at near eraer turning from Ennis market, they were Shepperton; a few slugs enter, d theho e rs k e' n s e h e. head, and Slattery received a few slight grains in a th hpete shot.

LIBRARIES FOR TDB POOR.—A library and read ing-room for the industrious classes has just been Ep ed in the populous district of St. Geor ge ' s in.the ast,ne through the exertions of the Rev. William Que kett, the incumbent. There are already upwards of 100 members, who are admitted, at the low rate of ls. per quarter, to the advantages of a well-selected library of books on useful and general literature. Most of the daily papers are also taken in. It is the intention of the worthy founder to have courses of lectures on popu lar subjects delivered occasionally. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The following gentlemen having undergone the necessary examina tions for the diploma of this college were admitted members at the meeting of the Court of Examiners on Friday evening, the 15th inst., viz.:—Messrs.

THE BEAUVALLON D UEL .—The appeal of M. ~ Eequpvilley against the sentence of the Court of Assize of the Seine, condemning him to ten years' reclusion for pyThiry, committed on the trial of M. Beauvallon, for killing M. Dujarrier in a duel, came on for hearing on Friday, before the Court of Cassation. The Court over-ruled all the objections, and rejected the appeal. Hill therefore have to undergo the punish-- mint in^ntioned above. The result oe M. Beauvallon 's ppeal has not yet transpired. A new helmet for the Heavy Dragoons has just been sanctioned by the proper authoritie s, and will come into use at the customary period for renewing the clothing. In form the helmet resembles that worn by the Life Guards, but the material is of brass with a black horse-hair plume.—United Service Gazette. AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MR.
