The late attempt on the life of Louis PHILIPPE has naturally turned much attention on him, and the bulk of the press, both in England and on the Continent, ha% e asserted in common that his is now the most precious life in Europe. The peace of tl►e world hangs on that. To the individual that may be extremely flattering, but it is a condemna- tiou of his Government. Sooner or later he must die, and it is neither creditable nor satisfactory to Europe to reflect that the peace of the world hangs on a single life. Eleven years ago no Prince in Europe was less thought of than the then Duke of ORLEANS — what has he done, or what has Europe since done, that her destinies should now depend on his breath ? He has mounted a throne, a powerful nation has placed him at its head. He has altered little or nothing in its institutions—he has had comparatively little influence on its mode of life, on its manner of thinking and living, and the pro bability would therefore seem to be whether Louis PHILIPPE were living or not, and whether the Syrian or some other question had kindled the martial ardour of the French, that the peace of Europe would be endangered by their disposition. The wonder, perhaps, is, that peace should have been preserved so long. Louis PHILIPPE has indeed been anxious to preserve it, and though he may, for a time, have kept down, or diverted the warlike disposition of his people, he has not sub dued it. We conceive that this is a testimony to the real weakness or badness of his system. He has succeeded in most of his objects. He has sup pressed every emeute. He has carried every thing his own way. He has obtained and cultivated the friendship of the great Powers of Europe. His ten years' reign has been a series of triumphs, on the Tory principle, over his own people, and the result is that France is threatened with a revolution at home and war abroad. What a severe condemna tion for his successful government. We are not sure that something similar may not be noticed in England. The Government has put down the Chartists ; the Church triumphs in her revival ; the Aristocracy glories in its Corn-law ; nevertheless, they are all alarmed, and all tremble lest there should be war abroad and commotion at home. We are inclined to infer from those and other circumstances, that the coercive systems, which have been for the time as successful as their supporters could wish, are erroneous. For twenty-five years the two countries have been at peace, in which time the institutions of both countries might have been adapted to the people, and their communica tion might have been cultivated into lasting friend ship. There is more intercourse between Dover and Boulogne, than between Dover and Leith. There is no reason, therefore, except the different laws and different political systems, which estrange the inhabitants of one coast of the Channel from the inhabitants of the other, why they should not be as friendly as ate the inhabitants of the English coast on the Channel with those of the Scotch coast on the North Sea. The abolition of a few noxious regu lations which harrass individuals in both countries, and impede their commercial relations, would pro bably have sufficed to make the French peaceful, and the English friendly. It has been otherwise ordered. The Governments of both countries have done nothing to promote their mutual commerce ; but by continual armaments and preparations for war, and jealous watchfulness, they have done a great deal to foster their mutual animosity, and en courage their warlike dispositions. The press of both countries, particularly the Tory press here, and the Revolutionary press there, have been even more jealous than the Governments. Nuw the people, at least of France, are not to be held ; internal re volution and foreign war are dreaded, and the Go vernments of both countries are disparaged. It will not do, on such a question, to claim for a Government all the merit of whatever prosperity may be achieved, and ascribe all the perils which fall on society to the disposition of the people, or to that more convenient scape-goat, dame Nature. For the evil which befals society as well as the good, for the crimes committed as well as for those punished, for the wealth lost as well as for that gained, the Government must be responsible. It takes so much on itself, that it becomes answer able for the conduct of the people. If they hurry into war, or nourish national animosities which cause great calamities, either Government must ad mit its own powerlessness, or it must bear the blame of all the mischief. At the Surrey Sessions, yesterday, THOMAS USHER and JAMES USHER, two little boys, aged twelve and ten years, were indicted for stealing seventeen pounds weight of lead, the property of their father, who holds a situation under the Lib rarian of the Temple. Our readers will perhaps remember this as the case. which we stigmatised at the time of their committal, of a father being anxious to provide for his children by sending them to gaol. lie had yesterday . the boldness to appear in court as the prosecutor of his two infants, in- stead of begging them off, and offering himself to be bound for their future good behaviour. On being asked as to their general conduct, he said he could not speak favourably of either, particularly the youngest, a baby ten years old. In the course of the examination, it appeared that the mother of the children is dead, but the father is married again, and his present wife has a situation in the Temple as well as he has. They must be tolera bly well of, therefore, in worldly circumstances, yet the children are neglected ; being neglected, they got into mischief, and then the father, uu feelingly, consigned them to gaol. The Bench of Magistrates took a proper view of the case. After hearing some evidence, the Chair man said the children ought not to have been brought there, if the children had been attended to by their parents, the Court would have been spared that sad exhibition. The Jury were of opinion that the father had degraded himself. They returned a verdict of not guilty, and severely cen sured the father. He was filially ordered to take his children home, and treat them with more fatherly care. We rejoice that he was unable to have his children provided for, though as criminals, at the expense of the country. '1 here are not wanting several other examples, such as a case at Stockport, of parents poisoning their children to obtain the burial money, that our population are becoming fast degraded to the very lowest depths of Pagan immorality. They seem now not much better than the Chinese, as they are painted by strangers and opponents.

It states that Sir JOHN MAC• DONALD used the words 66 this course of con duct," without explaining what that course was— viz., moderation, temper, and discretion. The writer is evidently resolved not to be convinced— he wilfully shuts out the light of truth ; and we must therefore leave him in this blessed state of ignorance. What would Lord CARDIGAN give to be as blind as the Post DOVER, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—His Grace' the Duke of Cambridge and Suite arrived here from the The French Journals of Tuesday have all been receiver]. They bring no positive account of the formation of the Cabinet ; but the impression that a Ministry would be formed before the expiration of twenty-four hours from that date was general throughout Paris on Tuesday evening. A private letter infor►ns us that M. GUIZOT and Marshal SOULT came to terms at once. At their first in terview M. GUIzoT offered in the most frank and cordial manner to accept the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Presidency of the illustrious Mar shal, who is besides to fill the War Department. This offer was as frankly and cordially accepted, and thus the nucleus of a strong and influential Cabinet was instantly formed.lThis harmony between the pen and the sword is more important in France now than at any period within the last ten years. What we were at first apprehensive of was, that SOULT would have insisted upon re serving to himself :he Foreign Department, in consideration of his having filled it before; and, with the profoundest respect for the chi valrous bravery of the illustrious Marshal, we could not but be sensible that the foreign policy of France requires to be directed by a statesman of a more exalted order of mind. The other appoint ments, it was said, would include MM. DUCIIA TEL, VILLEMAIN, MARTIN (du Nord), Du- FAURE, TESTE, PASSY, DUPERRE, and Du morn, but all was conjectural, beyond that SOULT and GUIZOT had charged themselves with the for mation of a Cabinet, and that its appointment, in the course of a few hours, was deemed absolutely Continent this afternoon, at about three o'clock, by her Majesty's steamer Charon. His Highness was re ceived with a Royal Salute of twenty-one guns from the heights, and a guard of honour, accompanied by Colonel Monroe, R.A., Commandant of the garrison. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

Sir,—Your Committee of the St. George's Agricul tural Society beg to report as follows upon the state of the parish : That, in consequence of the careless and wilful bad working of the labourers during the year 1839, the im mense destruction of cases by rats, the want of sufficient labour, the drought of last year, and the trespass by cattle, the crop of this parish, which usually terminates on the 28th March, was nut expected to exceed 1,000 hhds. The average of the five years, ending 23th March, 1838, being about 4,000. That the increased supply of labour throughout the parish, and the improved quality thereof, since the end of April last, have enabled-the planters of this parish to make fair preparations for the crop of 1641, and that con sequently sanguine expectations were entertained, and which of late have been diminished by the excessive drought ; but wo congratulate ourselves upon the small injury which our prospects have sustained as cool. pared with the destruction in the neighbouring pa rishes. We attribute the increased supply of labour to certain. By a Royal Ordinance, dated the 26th instant, the KING has appointed Rear-Admiral LALANDE to the command of a naval division at Toulon. The Gallant Admiral is the NAPIER of France, and therefore his appointment will be very popular among the war party. LALANDE and BAUDIN are the fighting Admirals of France ; the first, be cause, like NAPIER, lie loves fighting for its own sake, and the second, from a sort of necessity im - posed upon him by a prediction of NA por.nox's after his first naval victory, that he would one day become one of the first naval commanders in France. This was somewhere, if we remember rightly, about 1807, when BAUDIN signalized himself by the capture of an English vessel, and since that period be has seen plenty of active ser vice. But there is really nothing in LALANDE'S appointment to justify the exultation of any faction. He is a brave man and a good officer, and could not have been passed over without manifest injustice. The KING has conferred the decoration of an officer of the Legion of Honour on M. REGNAUD, Captain of the Brillante corvette, for his spirited conduct at Beyrout. This decoration was exceed ingly safely earned; and among a people with so quick a sense of the ridiculous as the French, we fancy it would be no pleasant matter for the Gal. lant Captain to exhibit upon his person this mark of Royal regard for his prowess. There is a curious paragraph in one of the French papers. It is to the effect that M. THIERS, on entering the Cabinet, obtained from the KING a loan of 500,000 f., to be repaid upon receiving the price of his History of the Consulate and the Empire, which it is understood lie has been writing for the last year. What credit is due to his paragraph we cannot pretend to determine. The impression has hitherto been that M. TIMERS, if not opulent, was in easy circumstances. His collections of pictures, statues, books, and other rare productions of genius and art certainly indicate everything but the penury of the pocket. Tut Fittrecit NAM—The Toulunnais of the '23d inst. announces that Admiral Rosamel had not yet left Toulon for Paris, and that his flag was still hoisted on the Ocean. It was reported there that the French ' Levant squadron had been ordered to return to Toulon, and that the Meteore steamer had conveyed instructions to that effect to Admiral Hugon, who was on the 7th at Salamis. The corvette Isere, wl.ich was laden with provisions for that fleet, had re-entered Toulon, and was to leave for La Plate. This circumstance was regarded as a sort of confirmation of the rumour of the return to France of the Levant squadron. Letters from Vienna state that Prince Paul Ester hazy, the Austrian Ambassador at the Court of Lon don, suddenly left, on the 14th, for his post. We have also been assured that Baron de Sturmer, the Austrian Internuncio, had been recalled from Con stantinople. The Moniteur announces that Lord Granville, the British Ambassador, and Count Lehon, the Plenipo tentiary Minister of Belgium, presented to the . King on Monday, letters from their respec tive Sovereigns, congratulating him on his fortunate escape on the 15th instant. The Echo de Vesone (Perigeux), of the 24th, an nounces that General Bugeaud has been summoned to Paris, and that a very elevated post is intended for him, that in case of war he would have a command on . the Rhine, and, if we preserve peace, the title of Com mander of the Military Forces and the Fortifications Pari of is s. affirmed," says the Pilote du Calvades, " that the General commanding the Department has forbidden leares e nea g ed,t i Regime e ena n .r, t ,sr f n ihni gt9ahai measure e r sa4iosstnuhraaent says,na C po a up eennact appears sd o e t o v a i s s u i a t s to first the th e officers theatre when t the part of the perfortr l i t c h A be l b et y te n r e fromulean means snow which has fallen this season has covered for some d a ys past the mountains in the neighbourhood of Pon tarlier. The Savings Bank of Paris received on Sunday the 25th, and Monday the 26th of October, from 2 , 748 c ontributions, of whom 294 were new ones , the sum of 367,600 francs. The sum withrawn amounted to 1,017,000 francs. Letters from Constantinople'of the Bth October con firms the news brought from the coast of Syria of the demoralisation of the Egyptian troops produced by the attacks of the Allies along the coast. One of those let ters contains the following passage : " It appears by what we learn from Alexandria that Mehemet Ali, irritated by the:proceedings of the Allies in Syria, had sent orders to Ibrahim to pass Mount Taurus, but that Ibrahim answered that the operation the scarcity of ground provisions at present experienced amongst the labouring population, which has been oeua siuned by thelong-continued drought, as well as to the great decrease of the excitement and discontent which prevailed in the early period of the free system. The accounts from a number of other districts are of a favourable character, though from some there are com plaints of injury done by the drought. Nisw GRANADA.—We are informed by Captain Chap man, of the brig Morca, arrived yesterday from Cartha gena, that intelligence had reached that place of a new in surrection at Pasto, headed by the leaders of the former one; their object being to annex the province to the republic of the Equator, the President of which had ordered troops to the frontiers which adjoin Pasto, for the purpose of giving support to the movement against the Government of Gre nada. A war between the two republics may grow out of it. General Orando was in prison, and under trial.

We copy the following spirited account of the taking of Sidon from the Malta Times of the 15th instant : " Off Alexandria, Oct. 5. " The smartest affair is yet to be told you, Charles Napier, on Friday, the 25th, talking with the Admiral, remarked that Sidon was not in our possession, and said to him, 'lf you like I will go clown and take it, and be back again in eight and forty hours,' He started, and was as good as his word. He had the Thanderer, Wasp, Cyclops, Gorgon, and Hydra, with 800 Turks and 500 ma rines ; on their way he fell in with the Stromboli, from England, with a detachment of 200 mat hies, , these he took with him, and after firing shot and shell at the town for a couple of hours, he made a breach, and landed at the head of his men ; it was a sharp struggle, but after destroy ing a great number of the enemy, who neither gave nor would receive, quarter, they at last killed the Egyptian Commander, who died game; with two marines' bayonets at his breast he refused quarter and resisted, so they fired, and he, of course, died, when his troops threw down their arms to the amount of 500 ; 1,500 were afterwards taken, and the whole 2,000 have been brought round to the fleet at Juni. I believe they will be sent to Cyprus. Napier was most daring, on the tops of the houses he made his way, waving his hat on the point of his sword, and cheering the men on ; our loss amounted to fifteen marines killed and wounded, two mates badly wounded, Mot ley and Shears of the Wasp ; and a mate of floe Iteven,s.,re with five seamen, one since dead, and one of the Thunderer's launchers killed. A marine officer who had only that morning arrived in the Stromboli was killed in the breach. His name is Hockin, and he had been serving ton the coast of Spain, and I hear another was wounded. The Egyptians have returned from Tripoli, and we hold every place from there to Acre except Beyrout, the fortifications of which were destroyed by the fire of the line-of battle ships. The Castor and Pique took Tyre. The Beabow, Carysfort, and Zebra are on the north coast. The Admiral, Powerful, Revenge, Bellerophon, and Pique, arc near Juni ; Thunderer, Castor, and Wasp, near Sidon. Steam ers here, there, and everywhere. Edinburgh and Hastings at Beyrout." PHYSICAL FORCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—Although you are strongly adverse to the Re peal Agitation in Ireland, you have not shown the same want of candour and fairness that characterised the op position of the Morning Chronicle to that agitation. This emboldens me to hope you will allow me, in your columns, to meet and refute an insinuation thrown out against me by the Morning Chronicle, and to which my answer has been suppressed by that Paper. The in sinuation was in an article of the 21st instant, on the Leinster Repeal Meetin,g, and ran as follows : " Mr. John O'Connell, when he looked at the physi cal force before him, intimated that they could dispense with other support." In my answer to the Chronicle, I said— " I have always thought, and do think, that it would be better the miseries the Union has inflicted upon Ire land were a millionfold increased and perpetuated, rather than one blow should be struck—one drop of blood spilled to procure its repeal. In the Address which it fell to my lot to draw up, from the Repeal Association to the People of Ireland, on the subject of Lord Ebrington's declaration, I embodied my senti ments as to the only proper mode of seeking the disso lution of the Union—namely, by legal and constitutional means—and to that document I appeal from the calum uious misreport of your informant." I enclosed a slip cut from a Newspaper, which had the most nearly accurate report of the remarks I did make at the above meeting relative to the number's pre sent. It is not necessary to take up your space with them further than to say that their purport was, that with such orderly, peaceable, constitutional demonstra tions of the will of the Irish people, it was a matter of little consequence to our success that the aristocracy, for the greater part, held aloof. The _Morning Chronicle, after thus insinuating that I would advocate the abominable doctrine of physical force, has refused to notice, in any way, my disclaimer. 1 trust you will give me, by the insertion of this, an op portunity of clearing myself of this grossly false charge, and of salting myself right before the public, which I cannot otherwise do. Your compliance with this request will very much oblige, Sir, your very faithful servant, JOHN O'CONNELL Marlon-square, „;t. 27. PRIZE FIGIIT.—On Tuesday morning last there was a numerous meeting of persons at a place called " The Six-mile-bottom," within about seven or eight miles of Cambridge, and six of Newmarket, to witness a prize fight which took place between the celebrated Cornish giant Caunt and another powerful-looking pugil ist, a native of Norwich, who goes by the nomme de guerre Brassy." As it was understood by the people in the neighbourhood that the combat was either for the championship, or that the conqueror was open afterwards to try for it, the affair assumed a superior interest. The giant stands about six feet three inches, and is nearly fifteen stone weight. The Norwich man is about six feet high, and weighs about twelve and a half stone. Both the men showed extraordinary courage, and wonderful power of endurance. The punishment was terrific on both sides, but especially that which the Cornishman received about his head and face. The great majority of the rounds went off in the slipping down of the Norwichman, who was by far the better fighter of the two, and be managed to hit his adver sary almost on every occasion as he went down, putting up his knees to prevent him from falling on him. First blood is as drawn from Caunt in the third round, and he in a few rounds afterwards gave the Norwichman the first knock down. On one occasion, towards tlie middle of the tight, when the hopes of the Norwichers were in the ascendant, their champion absolutely sent his gigantic .opponent clear out of the ring by a well planted left bander under his right ear. Shortly after this, however, fortune deserted him, and until the end he fought a cou. rageous but unavailing battle. The superior weight and condition of Caunt told in the long run, and Brassy's seconds gave in for him, after a contest which lasted nearly two hours, and about a hundred rounds. Although the morning was wet, there could not have been less than between one and two thousand persons on the ground. The majority were in carriages, postchaises, and gigs, and many were mounted. There were some fashionable drags from London, via Newmarket, this being the race week, and some half.dozen Cantab four-in-hands. Spring, O:iver, Ward, and most of the leaders of the P.R. were present, as well as some of their noble patrons iizeog. A Russian Count seemed delighted with the exhibition, and it is said has won several thousands on the conqueror. The combatants themselves had some hundreds at stake. ST. BRIDE'S CHURCII.—The timbers in the tower of this church, possessing one of the most beautiful steeples in the metropolis, were recently surveyed, and found to be so much decayed as to require immediate re pair. On further inspection, the roof was discovered to be in a similar state. They have, however, undergone a thorough renovation. The finely-painted window, " The Descent from the Cross," in the eastern section of the church, which had suffered much, is now completely re stored, and casts a " dim religious light" over the whole of the interior, which will shortly be ready for divine ser vice. A robing-room has been erected at the eastern ex. tremity. BENEVOLENT SOCIETY OF BLUES. Las night the half-yearly meeting of the members of the Bene. volent Society of Blues, for the relief of persons educated at Christ's Hospital, was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street,T.Weston, Esq., Vice-president, in the chair. The report stated that during the course of thelast six months the Directors had afforded relief to thirty cases of distress, some of which were cases of urgent destitution, nll to Blues, their wives, widows, or children. During the last year, 100/. of additional stock had been purchased and added to the funded property of the Institution. The amount of income for the present year was 376/. 6s. 6d., which, after the disbursements in payment to the secre tary, collectors, pensions, temporary relief, &c., left 701. 15s. applicable to the purposes of the Society. The amount of stock standing in the treasurer's name was 4.8001., the interest of which is appropriated to the relief of pensioners, &c. The report concluded by a recommen dation that the Rev. Dr. Rice be admitted a vice-presi dent. The report was adopted, and the recommendation unanimously carried. ALLEGED MURDER AT STOCKPORT. — The late alleged murder of two children at Stockport for the purpose of obtaining the burial fees, has a singular parallel in a case of poisoning in Switzerland in 1776. On the 12th of September a general communion was held at the cathedral church of Zurich. Many thousands were ex pected to partake of the sacrament, and the wine was pre pared: and brought into the church on the evening before. In the morning, when the ordinance was administered, there was a horrid confusion, several fainting away, while others were taken with a violent cholic, and the whole city was thrown into confusion. Eight persons had died of the peison, and had not the bad taste of the wine given early notice of the intended mischief many mere might have pe rished ; but hundreds were, however, taken dangerously ill. The wine being analysed was found to be poisoned, and, after a strict investigation, it was discovered that one Wirtz, a gravedigger, was the perpetrator of this diabolical deed, with a view to promote his business, which had been slack for some time. THE LATE FATAL COLLISION OFF WOOL wicit.-01) Wednesday morning, at ten o'clock, an inquiry which had been adjourned from Thursday last, was resumed before Mr. Carter, the Coroner for Kent, at the Castle I n n, Woolwich,- on the body of Michael Shea, aged 40, a l i g h ter man in the service of the Trinity House, who un fortunately lost his life on the evening of the 6th instant, through the London, Hull steam-ship, running into a Trinity House lighter off the Royal dockyard at Wool wich. The particulars of this case have already appeared. After hearing a great deal of evidence, the Jury returned a verdict of 0' Manslaughter" against William Taylor, the captain of the London, and George West, the pilot. iavesdubosicermi: t h e Britan a n n i d a, on Sunday stokers,. firemen of the vessel except the clothes T ------------------- PHE —ln consequence of the sinking o f . this vessel by the unfor tunate Dungeness, collision tho nwithrew , lost everything have al they had on at the time, and suffer' ployment.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 25.—The Java Journals from the tith to the I.7th of June give sOlll2 further details of the eruption of the Volcano GoLtser of which we have already spoken. Urn Phomix steamer, which had arrived at Batavia from Sumatra, brought the news of the capture of Senkel by our troops. This great success was obtained with the loss of only three killed and twelve wounded. His Majesty the King of Hanover has sent General Croequenhur g his Highness the Duke of Nassau, and General Baron de Preen, as Ambassadors Extraordinary to compliment his Majesty William 11. on his accession to the throne. The Second Chamber, in its Sitting yesterday, re ceived the Report of the Committee appointed to draw up the Address, which was inunrdid tely sent to the Sec tions. The Central Section will meet on Monday to deliberate on the remarks made in the Sections. Its re port will be brought uls on Monday or Tuesday, after wliich the debates on the proposed Address will imme diately commence. We hear that the baptism of the young Hereditary Prince of Orange is fixed for the 4th of November. It is affirmed that the laws relative to the finances will be presented to the Chambers at the latter end of next week, and that his Excellency the Minister of Fi nance will deliver on that occasion a very important speech. We arc informed that the 21st of November is fixed for the ceremony of doing homage to his Majesty. FROM THE DANUBE, OCT. 16.—We learn from good authority that Lord Palmerston f.'ly agrees with the Austrian and Prussian Cabinets in blaming the pre cipitate and extreme step of the Porte against Mehemet Ali. The English Cabinet denies any participation in the deposition, and lays all the blame on the Porte, which acted without regard to its Allies, whom, accord ing to Art. 7 of the Treaty, it ought to have consulted. " The Ambassadors at Constantinople," says Lord Pal merston, " are not the Allied 'Powers, and they certainly were so far in the wrong, as they had given their opinions on so important a step without applying to their Courts for special instructions. Since, therefore, the deposition of Alebemet An cannot be considered as a resolution of the Allied Powers, it fol lows, of course, that this act of the Porte alone is by no means to be looked upon as irrevocable." The Porte will therefore revoke its resolution, at which it is said Mehemet Ali only laughed, and thus the chief ground of apprehension for the peace of Europe be removed. VIENNA, OCT. 19.—1 t is considered as another favour able omen of the preservation of peace, that Prince Paul Esterhazy returns to London. More favourable accounts arc said to have been received from Paris ; it is affirmed in particular that the last Memorandum of the Govern• ment has fully satisfied the English Cabinet.

BRENTFORD PETTY SESSIONS.—COMMIT TAL OF FOUR HIGIIWAYMEN. — Yesterday, four men, named James Thomas, Edward Gurney, John Newman, and James Frewin, the two former well-known despera does, were charged before Colonel J. Clithoroc, the sitting Magistrate, with the perpretration of a highway robbery, on the previous morning at Hounslow. Smith, the man robbed, said that the four prisoners came up, and Thomas and Gurney coming in front, struck him tremendousblows in the mouth with their fists, and knocked him down, All the four then fell upon him, andThumas and Gurney put their hands into his breeches pocket, and took out 3s. 6d. in silver. Gurney then got up and snatched the bun dle out of his hand. He called loudly for assistance, when Bowler came up and pulled him from the ground when he snatched his bundle out of Gurney's hand, and they all made off. When a little recovered, he followed the prisoners to the Coach and Horses public house, and accused them of having robbed him, when the prisoner Gurney again attacked him, and knocked him down twice. On jumping up he called for the police; on which the whole of the prisoners ran away. He soon sa.v Police constable Hanrahan, who succeeded in taking the prisoner Thomas to the station-house. Two policemen and another person in part confirming Smith's smernent, the prisoners (who all denied the charge) were fully committed to New gate for trial. NAMUR, OCT. 24.—The new measures rela tive to the closing of the gates of the city, arc no longer enforced. Henceforth the gates will be open bynight as well as by day. The public are very glad of this change. BRUSSELS, OCT. 2G.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, coming from Frat.cfort, accom panied by Baron Knesebeck, his Aid.de-Camp and suite, arrived yesterday at the Hotel de Bellevue. His Majesty sent General d'Hane de Steenhuyze to compliment his Royal Highness. (From the Alin o'Groat Journal.) On the terrific night of the 9th ultimo, among the many crews exposed to the fury of the sto rm , was t h at of a boat belongirg to Moss Bank, Shetland, the skip per of which, Magnus Murray, favoured our ;nformant with the following account of the miraculous escape made by him and his companions : This boat, whose crew consisted of the sk;:eper(Murrey), his son, a lad of 14 years of age, and three men, had been out at the fishing on the night in question, and it having come on to blow strongly from the N.W. about nine o'clock, followed soon thereafter by a dreadful storm of wind and rain, it was deemed ad s is able, after having in vain attempted to gain the land, to allow her to run before the gale. About ten o'clock it became a dreadful hurricane. The little sail the boat had carried until then was now taken in, and e'. or) thing bell; made as se cure as the circumstances would admit of, she was allowed to drift before it under bare poles, her unfortunate crew every moment expecting to be but ied in the ocean, which, now agitated by the wind, presented a spectacle fearful to contemplate, It was with the greatest difficulty that the boat could be kept " end on,' as seamen call it, struck, as she was, in all directions by the waves, and hurried on at a speed impossible to describe. The position of the crew became each moment more and more appalling, and as no abate mentopointe main ofr e s ig , of the st o r m seeme d lik ely to take place, they resigning r 3 t h g e e n d i s e b l ; e a s p p t e o a t r i a l e n i e r e f s a t , e ); when were n the er they were daybreak. The light, however, only served to make the frightful position in which they were placed more visible, arid at the mercy of the wind, surrounded by the roaring waters, drenched to the skin, and exhausted by incessant labour, death in the most appalling form stared them in the face. The very slender stock of provisions which happened to be in the boat was com pletely destroyed by the sea beating over it, and the cravings of hunger were thus added to the other suffer ings to which the hapless crew were exposed. About six o'clock on the morning of the second day, land was seen. ' Scarcely had they descried it, however, when the wind, ' which had continued to blow tremendously from NAV., suddenly veered round to a contrary direction, and con tinuing to blow us fiercely as before, drove them again rapidly out to sea. Despair was now depicted in every countenance, when a heavy shower of rain began to de scend, and, to the delight of the poor fishermen, as sud denly brought round the wind to the old quarter. They were now driven rapidly towards the coast, along which ' fearful breakers were seen in all directions—thus not leaving them a vestige of hope of being enabled to gain the land without their boat being swamped. No alterna tive was left them, however, and in went the boat into the boiling waters. Death seemed now inevitable, when, by the gracious interposition of that Almighty Being at whose commands the winds are hushed, and the tempest made still, the boat drove into a small creek, the entrance to which was sufficiently large to receive her. A strong current prevailed here, and the boat, after being dragged up this creek for a considerable distance, was disgorged, as it were, at the other end of it, into a small bay, which, to all appearance, was landlocked, and which the poor men, to their infinite delight, found to be comparatively small. Several persons were now seen hastening to their relief, and the boat having grounded on a beach, they were told they had made Fairglass, in Norway, and that they had actually landed immediately under the house of the factor to the British Consul (thirty-six hours having elapsed since they parted from their nets on the coast). Tile poor fishermen were so completely exhausted as to necessitate their being carried out of the boat and up to the factor's house, where every attention and hospitality was lavished on them, and their wants amply provided for. On their complete recovery from the fatigues of- their perilous voyage, the Con sul had them shipped to Hull, from which port, through the kindness of the agent for the Ship wrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Society, who ge nerously supplied their wants, they were conveyed to Leith, and from thence, per steamer Sovereign, Captain to Lerwick, were they safely arrived on the 4th inst. The greatest kindness was shown them at Hull and Leith ; and Captain Phillips, with his usual liberality, allowed them their provisions gratis while on board the steamer. Our informant, who hap pened to be on board this vessel with the men, says that the skipper of the boat, Murray, was much affected on again seeing the Shetland Islands, and gave utterance to the feelings of delight with which he expected to meet his wife and family by tears of joy. The poor man was at tale time unconscious of the sad events which had occurred in his family during his absence. Murray's wife, our informant was told, had sunk under the mis fortune of having lost her husband, as she supposed, and had died about a week before his arrival, after having given birth to a still-born child—while his eldest daugh ter, a girl of about eighteen years of age, had been so affected by the sad event—the certainty of her father and brother being drowned, and she left to pro vide for a young and helpless family of eight children, that she had lost her reason, and was at the time in .a truly pitiable state. The poor man, Murray, Las in deed been sorely tried ; and, to add to his misfortunes, his crop of this year, in consequence of his absence, has been neglected, and is now completely destroyed. His case, under all these circumstances, is a truly afflicting one, and well worthy the attention of the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Benevolent Society. [ln a letter which we have received from the proprie tor of the boat, giving a somewhat similar though less minute account of the sufferings of the crew, he states that " this is the first and only .instance, so tar as is known, of an open boat crossing front Shetland to the Norwegian coast ; and when it is taken into considera tion, that it was not done in fine or in ordinary weather, but during a tremendous gale of wind, which tore ves sels and boats from their anchorage in gocd harbours, unroofed houses, &c., their escape must be considered truly wonderful."—En. Scotsman] BRUSSELS, OCT. 27.--On Saturday there was a grand dinner at the Palace, the number of the company was forty, among whom were the English Ambassador and many other members of the diplomatic body. Yes terday one of the royal carriages went to take the Duke of Cambridge to the King. Ilia Royal Highness dined at the Palace of Laeken. He left Brussels to-day to embark at Calais for London. PIIILADELPIIIA, OCT. S.--A gentleman of Boston paid 21 dollars as a premium for the cheice of a box one evening last week, to witness the dancing of Fanny Elsslcr. Dr. Lardner and Mrs. Heaviside were in New York a few days since, and . are said to pass by the names of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett. They went to the Park Theatre one evening, and were consequently denounced by one of the New York papers, and recommended not to outrage decency by appearing again in public. They are new in this city, entirely quiet, and incog. Last evening the annual dinner of the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. Upwards of three hundred gentle men sat down to the dinner, which was an excellent one. The new comedy, entitled Fashionable Arrivals, to be produced at Covent-garden Theatre for the first time this evening, is from the prolific pen of Mr. Mark Lemo n author of the Ladies' Club, and several other pieces. It is reported that a new comedy, by Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, is in rehearsal at the Haymarket Theatre, the east combining the entire strength of the company. . _ Earl Cornwallis arrived at Linton-place, his seat near Maidstone, on Monday last, from Hastings, where the Noble Earl has chiefly resided since the death of his amiable Countess.

Gos. ling has been innumerable times in custody on various charges of theft, and, about a twelvemonth since, on his being committed as a suspected character by Mr. Peking ton, his case occupied much of public attention, it causing considerable discussion at the Middlesex Sessions, as an unnecessary commitment, when, through the interference of Lord F. Gordon and Mr. Halcomb, a county Magis trate, he was liLerated by the Secretary of State. Since then he has been repeatedly in custody, and has been con. victed of stealing. Previous to his removal to Newgate he chanted forth in his cell the whole of the low song " Nix my dolly pals," from Jack Sheppard. THE RECENT ACCIDENT ON TIIE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—Our readers will rejoice to hear that the injured persons are doing well, and likely to re cover rapidly.
