The royal mail steam-ship Europa arrived in the river on Sunday morning, at five o'clock, with accounts from New York to the 6th instant inclusive, having left Boston on the 7th, and Halifax on the 9th. She brought 93 passengers, and £2,300 in specie. The Hibernia arrived at New York on the sth, the Washington on the 6th, and the Cambria, at Halifax, on the 9th. The West India mail steamer, Teviot, arrived at Mobile on the 27th ult., and had on board. for En gland, 450,000 dollars specie, 112,000d15. of which are on account of the Mexican dividend. The political news is unimportant. A series of resolu tions have been introduced into the Vermont Legislature, favourable to the annexation of Canada by peaceable means. The Atlantic and Pacific railroad scherne is fast attaining a practical shape. An effort is being made to establish direct lines of steamers between Baltimore and Liverpool, and Philadelphia and Liverpool. A new Liverpool packet-ship was launched at New York on the sth instant, burden 1400 tons. The total number of vessels that have left the United States for California is as follows :-189 ships, 175 barques, 119 brigs, 83 schooners, 7 steamers, total, 573. The ship Michael Angelo, which left Liverpool on the 2d October, arrived ht Boston on the 3d ultimo, having lost one seaman and twenty-five passengers by cholera during the voyage. The Chariest n Courier of the Ist instant, says, " A telegraphic despatch received yesterday from Camden, S.C., states that a killing frost was experienced in that place." The Albany Patriot (Georgia) of the 26th ult. says, "The cotton crop in this section will be about two thirds of the average crop of former years. The handling and the quality of the cotton is better than usual. The corn crop has been gathered, and is a fair average yield : price 50 cents per bushel. The sugar cane crop, which is being extended every year, so far as we have been able to learn, is very good, and it is believed will yield at least 100 dollars worth of sugar and molasses to the acre. This is the most profitable crop raised in this section, and we have no doubt that it will be greatly increased within a few years. The weather is cool and pleasant. We have had no frost yet. The country continues to be healthy." The British American League had held its second meet ing at Toronto, and, according to the telegraphic dis patches, had resolved to petition the Queen for a return to protection. It was supposed that resolutions would About eighty members were present—afalling off from t le first treeting—and the principal speakers were Messrs. Gamble, Gowan, and Ferres. On the side of the govern ment, inquiries were being made as to what part the bar risters of Montreal and the militia generally had borne in the movement. Two queen's counsel had been de privei of their honorary degrees; and it had been deter mined to dismiss from the service of the crown all impli cated. From other sources we learn that L. J: Papineau had written a letter strongly in favour of annexation. The Toronto Globe, on the contrary, publishes a declara tion of warm attachment to England, signed by 2000 men of all parties. From the city of Mexico we have recounts to the 13th ultimo. The insurrection of the Sierra Gordo had been terminated ; but in the capital a conspiracy had been dis covered amongst a number of military officers. The shock of an earthquake was felt on the 28th September. Rela tive to the debt arrangement we are unfortunately without our usual details. Advices of the sth ultimo from Yucatan announce the assassination of the most prominent leader of the Indians. Several skirmishes had occurred. A letter from Cam peachy, of the 9th, reports the capture by the whites of a small English vessel, laden with powder and lead. She was carried into Bacalar. NEW YORK, 6th Nov., 1849. Since the departure of the Niagara, the demand for all lead ing securities has been steady. The Money market remains easy. Loans on solid securities returnable on demand can be readily obtained at 4 to 5 per cent. ; paper discounts freely at 6 to 7 per cent. for the best signatures, and at 7 to 10 per cent. for those of a less prominer t character. The banks discount freely to the extent of their lines at the usual rates. Corrorr.—We do not find anything to cause us to alter our opinion, or to change our estimate of crop, which we placed at 2,100,000 bales, although we must confess that we have seen letters from factors (who had previously believed in a large crop) who " mark" 2,000,000 as the full extent. The arrivals prior to the 21st of January will be light, and the stock in Great Britain being much reduced, will be easily held. Florida and N. 0.

FLOUR.—The home demand for a week past has been quite active, but the increased supplies, and absence of export orders have tended to depress the article. Prices have, however, changed but little, particularly for that of good quality and condition. Rye Flour sells at .82.814 to 82.873, and Corn Meal .83.124 to .83.371 for Jersey and Brandywine. The receipts down the Hudson River since the opening this season totbe 28th October were 1,470,288 barrels Flour, against 1,448,391 barrels in 1848. PROVISIONS. — Pork is in moderate demand, with sales at $10.44 to 4510.50 for mesa, and $8.621 for prime.

Viscount Masserene, in answer to the circular of the committee which is conducting the address to Lord Roden agreed to in Dublin, says that though he yields to no one in his esteem for Lord Roden, he cannot sign the address, one of his principles reasons being because he cannot agree to the doctrine that honesty of purpose in a magis trate ought to be a protection against his summary dis missal. A small fee simple estate in the county of Tipperary, has been sold in the Court of Chancery for eleven years' purchase. The rental of the estate is about £330, and the price obtained about £3300. Six months ago the same estate was sold for £3960; hut the purchase was not completed, Before the potato failure more than double that amount might have been realised. The present poor-rate in the district is 4s. 6d. in the pound. ATTEMPT TO MURDER AN AGENT.—The Tipperary Vindicator states, that on Saturday evening an attempt (the second) was made to assassinate Mr. Francis Kier nan, agent over the property of the Messrs. Scott, at Loughorna. Mr. Kiernan was sitting at his fire with some friends, when the shot was fired in through the window of the room. Most providentially a sack of oats had been removed near the window a short time before, which intercepted the ball and saved Mr. Kiernan's life. A SHORT 'fain/stmt.—The radical papers have made a great flourish of a letter from the Marquis of Londonderry, in which his lordship declines to sign the address to Lord Roden, on the assumption that Lord Roden was present at the proceedings of Dolly's Brae. The Marquis, how ever, has omitted the necessary precaution of ascertaining 411.1 n+ Cm. T ,nrel Rndan wag Tint nraaant and took no part in the unhappy proceedings in question ; and the opinion of the Marquis, therefore, being founded on misapprehension, goes for nothing. The Marquis thinks that no one will suspect him of whig attachment or whig policy, but we fancy that many persons will en tertain a very strong suspicion on the subject. CORK ELECTION.—GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF THE COUNTRY PARTY.—The electors of Cork have nobly dis charged their duty to their country; they have pronounced against the candidate recommended by the free-traders, the repealers, and the government. Honour to the men of Cork ! Colonel Chatterton is now their worthy repre sentative. This is truly a splendid triumph, and augurs well for the future. When t,ork—the great seaport town, from which the bulk of the corn exported from Ireland is conveyed, and into which is imported a mciety of all the Indian corn and foreign wheat used in the country—when that city has declared against free-trade, the importance of its decision cannot be over-estimated. They tried the withering, wasting, ruinous system, and found it wanting ; therefore have they done all that the opportunity afforded for returning to the protection of the home producer. The polling commenced at eight o'clock on Tuesday, when Colonel Chatterton at once proved his strength. Here is the return at the final close of the poll :—Colonel Chatterton, 501; Mr. M'Carthy, 595 ; majority for Col. Chatterton, 206. Mr. Charles Wye Williams, in a letter to Lord Claren don, details the advantages likely to arise from the open ing of the navigation of the Shannon. He says :—" My lord, I have now the satisfaction of stating, that the sum of half a million sterling having been expended pursuant to the act, its navigation is now complete ; and, from personal observation—having, during the last five years, watched the progress of the numerous works along its course—l am enabled to certify that the science and engineering skill which they exhibit—the evidence of a superior execution everywhere visible—together with the substantial and permanent character of these great works, are unsurpassed in the British empire. My lord, it is impossible correctly to appreciate the character, extent, or importance of these numerous and great works, except by traversing the 150 miles of the Shannon, by which they are spread. Let it also be remembered that this has been effected not only completely and successfully, but within the estimated cost. Here, indeed, is a new feature in public works—look to the Rideau navigation in Canada, or to the Caledonian Canal in Scotland. What a con trast do they present in this respect."

LAW INTELLIGENCE. ADMIRALTY COURT, FRIDAY THE FAME: COLLISION. This was a suit promoted by the owners of the late schooner Rob Roy against the schooner Fame, to recover the loss resulting from a collision between them, early on the morning of the 28th of February, off the north coast of Anglesea. The Rob Roy, of the burthen of 114 tons, was bound from Cornwall to Liverpool, laden with porcelain clay ; the Fame, of the burthen of 87 tons, was proceeding from Liverpool to Youghall, freighted with Indian Corn. The wind was blowing strong from the south-west, and each vessel represented herself to be close-hauled. The Fame was on the larboard and the Rob Roy on the starboard tack. Dr. Lushington, having stated to the Elder Brethren the Trinity Corporation, by whom he was assisted, Lat the decision must turn upon the point as to whether or not the Rob Roy t the time the vessels were preaching, was closelhauled, inquired of them which of the vessels was to blame, or whether they were both culpable? The Elder Brethren considered that both the vessels were on a wind, and that the collision arose from the Fame not adhering to the rules of navigation. The Court pronounced in favour of the Rob Roy, and dismissed the cross action with costs. In the York Ecclesiastical Court, last week, an applica tion was made to annul the first marriage of Ellis Norris and Miss Durk. The judge said that the second marriage rendered any proceedings on account of the first useless, but he gave the applicant time to enable him to satisfy himselfof the correctness of the statement of the affidavits. THE COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.--APNAMARA V. O'CoNNou, M.P.—ln this case, which was an action by the plaintiff, an attorney, against Mr. Feargus O'Connor, M.P., to recover a sum of money for defending the the court, said Lord Denman, was not prepared to say that the jury were wrong in finding a verdict for the plaintiff; so the Court could not grant a rule for a ne trial upon the affidavit used in the cause, and reason to disturb the verdict.—Rule refused saw n Lord Denman has had a severe attack of paralysis, which, it is feared, will preclude the possibility of his lord ship remaining much longer on the bench. He is en titled to a retiring pension of £4OOO per annum. In the Arches Court there was a further hearing of the case " Conolly v. Conolly," a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights, where both parties had turned Roman Catholics, the husband becoming a priest and the wife 'a nun. The former afterwards recanted, and now claims his wife, who pleads her vows of chastity as a nun. The question just now before the Court is, the admissa bility of the defendant's libels, which the Judge, after hearing counsel, said he should take time to consider. THE LIVERPOOL UNION BANK.—In the Rolls' Court, Lord Langdale gave judgment in the cause of Rodick v. Gandell and Others, heard on the 22th of July. The prayer was to have a declaration of the court that the Li verpool Union Bank, whose public officer,Thomas Rodick, was the plaintiff, was entitled to have the full benefit of two letters, of the 26th and 27th of December, 1845, as an effectual charge, by any of equitable assignment, upon the several debts, claims, and demands due to or claimed by the defendants, John tlaskins Gandell, and John Brunton. Lord Langdale did not think the letters an equitable assignment, and dismissed the bill. HUSBAND AND WIFE.—In the London Small Debts Court on Wednesday a point of considerable interest arose in the case of "Owen v. Billings," as to how far a hus band was bound by the acts of his wife, who was possessed of private property. The plaintiff is an attorney, and the defendant is a respectable tradesman in the city. The action was brought to recover the sum of £3 ls. Bd. for professional services. It appeared that Mrs. Billings was possessed, under a marriage settlement, of a sum of £270, on which she was desirous of obtaining a loan, and applied to plaintiff for a copy of the settlement, which was prepared and sent to the solicitors of the Sovereign Life Assurance Company, and subsequently instructed him to peruse the mortgage ; and it was for this business that the present charge was now made. It was admitted that Mrs. Billings had given instructions for the perusal of the deed, but it was contended that a copy she had previously left at the house was sufficient, and that a fresh copy was not necessary. A tender had therefore, been made on her behalf of £1 Bs. 6d. An argument then ensued, it being contended by the plaintiff that a married woman could not be sued under such circumstances, and on the other hand it was urged that a husband was not liable except for necessaries, unless his knowledge and concurrence in the order was express or implied. In this case Mrs. Billings swore her husband was not aware of the transaction. His Honour (Mr. Commissioner Bul lock) held that defendant was not liable, for a wife was only an agent for particular, and not for general, purposes. STATE OF CANADA. (From the Record.) The aspect of affairs in Canada becomes more and more alarming. We wish that we could add that there was nothing in the affairs of that fine colony calculated to awaken the feeling of regret that our policy bears too close a resemblance to that which is now pursued toward the Protestants of Ireland. The state of Canada is not very generally understood, and many persons are not aware of the course of policy, pursued for more than ten years, which has very nearly precipitated a second re bellion, and which threatens the mutilation of our colonial empire. . . It is well known that the Canadas were divided into two provinces, the one distinguished as lower Canada, being French, and the other as Upper Canada, which was British. The lower province was conquered from the French, nearly a century ago, after those sanguinary campaigns which ended with the death and victory of the young and gallant General Wolfe. When that conquest was achieved, the Roman Catholic religion, instead of being left to its own resources, under the protection of an ample toleration, was adopted by the State, and hence one fruitful source of disunion perpetuated by priests and Jesuits. There is a lesson to be derived from this fact, of which our statesmen might profit, if they would. It cannot be said that a dominant Protestant minority ex cited the angry feelings of the lower Canadians, and drove them into rebellion. Upper Canada was peopled by British settlers, most of them loyal, brave, and enterprising. A great many Highlanders went out from Scotland, and multitudes of Irish Protestants fled from persecution in their own country, to found loyal lodges of orangemen, which never molested their Romish neighbours, or gave annoyance to the government. But there was also a third party, which during the late rebellion was known as Mackenzie 's party, and which was the only source of werkness in the upper province. It was composed chiefly of Romanists, im ported from Ireland, carrying with them their burden of Irish discontent, and inflamed by association with Ameri can sympathizers from the United States of the same character. _ _ When Papineau and other demagogues in Lower Canada broke out in rebellion in 1837, the Mackenzie party in the Upper Provice gave the rebels all the aid in their power. The United States winked at the assistance given by the American sympathizers, allowed their arsenals to be pil laged, arms and ammunition to be poured into British settlements, and steamers to act as transports of men and cannon across the St. Lawrence. _ In spite of all these odds the British party in the Upper Province, the Highlanders, the Orangemen, and the English loyalists, signally triumphed not only over the Mackenzie traitors, but over the American sympathizers. Captain Drew at the head of a party of volunteers cap tured the American steamer, set fire to her stores, and sent her drifting down the cataracts of Niagara, a blazing warning both to Canadian rebels, and American invaders. The affairs of the Upper Province were settled by Sir Francis Head and the volunteers. The rebellion of the French habitans was put down by Sir John Colborne and the military. So far all was well. It now remained for a wise govern ment to take warning from the past, and organize a new constitution for the future. Unhappily Canada was the field on which the Benthamites and other infidel Liberals had been for years trying their 'prentice hands. The Westminster Review had teemed with articles directed against " the family party" in Canada, and the encou ragement given to the Protestant interest. The late Lord Durham was sent out to rectify all abuses. A more unfit selection could hardly have been made. But when we add that two of his chief advisers were Mr. Edward Gib bon Wakefield arid Sir Thomas Turton, we cannot feel surprised at anything that has since happened. To these was added Mr. Charles Buller, a gentleman of undoubted talents, and, so far as we know, of unblemished character; but his principles were of the utilitarian stamp, and too well accorded with those of the two other more notorious characters with whom he was associated. To those men was intrusted the task of remodelling a constitution. In their eyes Protestantism and Popery were alike indifferent. Bigotry, so called, was the object of their aversion, and they neither sympathized with the principles of Scottish Presbyterians, Irish Orangemen, cr English Episcopalians. They resolved to unite the two provinces, and under the pretence of destroying abuses, of putting down " the family party," of giving no advan tage to British Protestant loyalists over disaffected French Popish habitans, the union was accomplished. From that moment the rebel faction began to rear their crest. Indemnity for past offences was proclaimed, Papi neau suffered to return, and a coalition made between Mackenzie's Irish and American party in the upper pro vince, and the French Romanists in the lower. The re sult is well known. Lord Elgin, the son-in-law of Lord Durham, went to carry out that noble earl's policy under the auspices of Earl Grey. An act passed the legislature indemnifying not only the loyalists but the rebels, for the losses sustained in the rebellion. The British loyalists, the Orangemen, and the Scotch Highlanders in their turn grew desperate. An insurrection is the result. The go vernor's palace is burned, and blood is shed. Now an nexation is spoken of, and the following extract will be read with interest, coming as it does from the letters of a gentleman of intelligence and respectability in Canada : "Everything here bodes a storm. There will be bloodshed, I fear, before long; be it much or little it seals the supremacy of England and her right to a foot of the land of the west for ever 11 the Times to the contrary, notwithstanding. You will know the state of things here sonic day or other, but when it is too late. One thing, I regret to say, is clear enough that loyalty is but a name here now, not among fle Frenehtaisa dians, but with tun the iixitist zoerchante." EXECUTION OF THE MANNINGS. It is necessary to state that the following is condensed from our Fourth Edition of Tuesday last. lest our readers should give us the credit of copying it from Wednesday's Courier.] The final scene in this world of one of the most revolt ing tragedies which ever occurred in this country, com mitted in concert, by parties possessed of any intelligence, and who had been accustomed to move amongst society at all removed from the utterly debased, took place on Tuesday morning before a large concourse of spectators. On Sunday arid Monday vast numbers of idlers were seen lounging about, passing running commentaries on the future conduct of the criminals, their remarks in some instances being of the most revolting description. The opening of public-houses at one o'clock on Sunday tended to relieve the monotony of the scene, a general rush immediately taking place into them, the proprietors of which must have reaped a plentiful harvest, for with several additional hands they were kept fully employed. As the afternoon advanced the numbers so far increased that, by four o'clock, Horsemonger-lane presented one dense mass of people, several of them being most respect ably dressed, who amused themselves by gazing alternately at the top of the prison and at the front gate, with various speculations. To those of our readers who are not well acquainted with the metropolis a brief deQcription of the locality of the prison, in front of which the wretched criminals suf fered, may not be altogether uninteresting. The New House of Correction for Surrey (so called, although erected some years ago,) is situated in Horsemonger-lane, a street tion of .Bermondsey, - and is surrounded now by small pro perty of a respectable description—two-story houses, with ornamental gardens in front, and rented at from £2O to £3O per annum. The front of the prison is in the wide portion of Horsemonger-lane itself, and is a little removed back from the line of neighbouring houses. It is ap proachable from the various streets around, which run 111 near to the walls F some distance in front of the gaol the occupants nd owners of the houses, which have long gardens in had been for days before occupied in erecting tem porary stages, places upon which were let at very high prices, in some instances as high as three guineas for a single seat; and even the roofs of the surrounding property, from which a view could be obtained, were eagerly bid for. The danger arising from the gathering a dense crowd in so confined a locality, having so many approaches on every side, was early seen by the authorities, who took measures to barricade strongly those points of access, a pressure from which must have caused fearful calamity. At an early hour in the morning, and in many cases all night, these erections were occupied ; and long before the hour of execution not a vacant spot of ground in the neighbourhood was to be had. Some of the side and back streets even, from which no thing whatever could be seen, were filled, as if the crowd were satisfied even to listen for the expected thrill of horror or the cry of execration from the more fortu nate (?) spectators, when the drop fell. The gaol itself is an irregularly formed building, with a flat roof, and raised lanterns or sky-lights, and sur- - • rounded by an outer wall ; and the general expectation was that the execution would take place upon this roof, which accounts for some of the platforms having been erected in places from which no view whatever was ob tained. The scaffold, however, was erected upon the western end of the low flat tower, which surmounts the Entrance Lodge, in the north or London side. The suspension beam was rather lofty, and afforded ample opportunity of the whole proceedings being seen from the houses on that side, and the platforms erected in the gardens of a row of houses called Winter Terrace, which runs parallel with the prison wall. These platforms were not, like those erected in the immediate front of the prison, the speculations of the tenants themselves ; but were chiefly erected by costermongers, prize-fighters, &c. who gave sums varying from £7 to £2O, according to thik extent of the superficies, for the hire of the ground. The two public-houses at each extremity of the area also reaped an excellent harvest from the view which they afforded. A portion of the area next to the prison wall was barricaded off for the accommodation of the police, of whom a large body were in attendance from an early hour on Monday night, under the impression that otherwise great destruction of trees and property in the locality would take place, and probably the houses and platforms be forcibly invaded by the mob. In the course of the day the magis trates endeavoured to remove some of the scaffolds and platforms, which were considered unsafe ; but could only succeed here they extended over the carriage way. In the early part of the morning a portion of the crowd, principally consisting of juveniles of both sexes, amused themselves with bandying rough jokes, jostling, and other similar pastimes of a London mob ; but as the hour drew near for the fatal scene, a perceptible feeling of intense excitement stole over the mass, interrupted only by occasional ebullitions of bodily suffering, as some un fortunate being became oppressed beyond endurance by the prolonged crushing of the densely packed assemblage. And when at length the preparations commenced for the work of death, the picture presented by the upturned faces of the spectators, bloodless and pallid with awe, as seen in the dull morning light, and many begrimed with perspiration from their long hours' struggle to maintain their . places, was a truly awful one. The unhappy woman attempted self-destruction in the course of Sunday morning. It has already been mentioned that her finger-ti ails had grown to a great length, and when it was remarked to her by the authorities. she gave some evasive answer. On more than one occasion she even gave an obscene reply respecting their length. and on another occasion she stated that they would be of use to her. In the presence of the chaplain or the governor she covered her hands, by wrapping them round with her handkerchief. Every precaution was taken to prevent her making any attempt on her life, and even the clotheswhich she put off when retiring to rest were removed from the bed and quite out of her reach. About 4 o'clock on Sunday morning she endeavoured to stran gle herself. Having observed that the watchers, as she supposed, had dozed off, she made an attempt to choke her self by forcing her nails into her throat. The noise con sequent on her convulsion having startled the watchers, they jumped up, and on hastening to her bed side saw she was almost black in the face. As soon, how ever, as the wretched woman saw that the watchers were by her side she seemed to rally herself, and put her head under the clothes. The symptoms of penitence which Mrs. Manning evinced during the preaching of the condemned sermon on Sunday proved only transient, and on Monday she re turned to that state of obduracy which has marked her conduct since her arrest. Up to a late hour on Monday night she still persisted in refusing to hold any interview with Manning. and declared that the mob should not be gratified by seeing her face when brought upon the drop, as she would cover it with her handkerchief. There was no change on Monday in the conduct of the male prisoner, who continued resigned to his fate. _ _ _ it - Manning, appears, passed a very restless night, so also did his wife ; they both rose early, and having par taken of breakfast, Manning sent for the chaplain between six and seven. He found him more composed than on the previous night. He subsequently visited Mrs. Man ning and importuned her, as she was about to appear in the presence of God, before whom there could be no dis guise, and that as the opinion of mankind availed her nothing, now that she was about to quit this world, to to tell him if she had any request to prefer, or anything to say or unsay. She said she had not, and requested him to write to two ladies (whose names the chaplain declined to mention), to beg their acceptance of her kind and heartfelt thanks for their kind condescension in making efforts to save her, though they had not availed her. At a quarter past eight they were brought into the chapel, Manning being brought in first. They were placed on a seat immediately before the pulpit, male and female offi cers being placed betewen them. Manning looked intently at his wife, but said nothing. The sacrament was then ad minstered. As the chaplain was about to enter the vestry the prisoners appeared to be communicating with each other. Manning, who was the first to do so, crossed over to his wife and kissed her three times. They spoke in a low tone, and Mr. Freshfield, who stood near, understood Manning to urge his wife to confess, saying, "Do confess." They were then taken into separate apartments on either side of the chapel, where they were pinioned. Mrs. Man ning solicited that a black veil might be bound over her head, and that she might be led blindfold to the scaffold. This was acceded to, and Mr. Davies, the surgeon, and another person led the unhappy woman out of the chapel. Manning, who had been led out of the chapel some min utes before his wife, and who stood on the spot where his grave was being dug, said to the chaplain, " I was petu lant last night—l hope you will forgive me, and make allowances for a person in my situation." The chaplain gave him his forgiveness, saying that, in the discharge of so sacred and awful a duty it was sometimes necessary to be firm as well as to be kind. The procession then moved slowly on, and up the stairs of the lodge to the fatal spot. The firmness of the unfortunate couple is stated to have been strong. The chaplain asked the female, when the fatal noose was in the course of adjust ment, if she had anything more to say. She replied firmly, "Nothing, except to thank you for your kindness." The drop shortly fell, and the wretched man and his wife swung in the air, the folds of the veil, which obscured her features from the vulgar gaze, fluttering in the breeze. Shortly after nine o'clock, Manning and his wife ap peared on the scaffold, attended by the sheriff, the chap tain, and the officers of the gaol. At this momeat the ex citement amongst the crowd was tremendous, and some confusion occurred from the eagerness of the parties stretching forward in the endeavour to catch a glimpse of the unhappy criminals. There was an immense assemblage congregated in front and around the gaol, to witness the closing scene of the unhappy career of these great criminals. There were no accidents of magnitude, but many persons, chiefly women and children, were trodden under foot and otherwise bruised. It was calculated that there could not have been fewer than 50,000 people present. It is true that so great a concourse could not get to witness the deplorable spectacle ; but every'street, lane, and avenue, leading to the place of execution, was densely crowded ; and every window and housetop in the vicinity of Horsemonger-lane was filled and crowded with well dressed people, male and female, as was also every avail able spot upon which a platform could be erected. The mournful procession having reached the drop, the few moments that were occupied in preparing for the final scene having elapsed, the bolt was withdrawn and both the unhappy beings were launched into eternity at the same moment. The struggles of the male prisoner were very violent, and his contortions produced a most painful feeling amongst the spectators. Those of Mrs. Manning were of very short duration, as she appeared to cease to exist on the drop falling. Both of the unfortunate beings appeared desirous of ad dressing the immense assemblage of their fellow creatures below them, and they made a few observations, which were nor audible beyond a few yards from the gallows, their words being lost amidst the yells of the crowd and the confusion inseparable from such a vast congregation of human beings. Both were, however, understood to ad- PORTUGAL The steamer Montrose, with the Peninsular mail, has arrived, with dates from Lisbon of the 9th instant.

BELGIUM. — The legislative session for 1849-50, of the Belgian Chambers, was opened by the King in person, on Wednesday last. His Majesty congratulated the assembly on the favourable condition and aspect of the country, and alluded to certain measures which would be brought under the consideration of the chambers. One of these measures was connected with public instruction, imparted at the expense of the state, which, says his Majesty, "will beestablished on constitutional bases, and be equiva lent to free instruction." His Majesty also says—" Our penal system has for some time called for those modifi fiations which are conformable with the manner and spirit of the age. I hope that during this session you may be able to occupy yourselves in modifying the first book of the penal code. The punishment of branding ought to be exploded from our code. A project shall be submitted to this end." Orders have been issued to the police authorities to arrest all hawkers of Socialist and and anti-religious pamphlets and songs throughout the departments of France. Several had been arrested.

IRE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. The Conservative students in the University of Glas gow have resolved not to oppose the re-election of Mr. Macauley as Lord Rector for the present year.

THE LAY CF THE LAST FEARGUS.—Feargus O'Con nor laid down his life again last week. This is really a fact. The awful sacrifice took place at Brighton, at the Financial Reform meeting. Feargus never enters a public meeting now but he lays down his life with hi& hat and gloves on the table, previous to addressing the peo ale. His whole political career lately has been paved with lives he has laid down in all the cities he has travelled through. In the market-place at Nottingham a small stone is shown to the curious, that is almost worn out by the number of times that Feargus has laid down his life upon it. — Punch. PROTECTION.—The National Assembly for the Pro tection of British Industry and Capital, of the acting committee of 'which Mr. George Frederick Young is the chairman, has issued a circular letter to Protection So cieties throughout the country, recommending the im mediate holding of public meetings, where practicable and safe. and of private ones under other circumstances, for the purpose of making a united, unanimous, and strik ing expression of opinion in favour of a return to a pro tective system of commercial policy, and of addressing the Queen, imploring her. - Majesty to exercise her royal prerogative by dissolving the present parliament and call ing a new one, by which the suggested protecting duties may be re-enacted. At the London civic banquet, on Friday week, Lord J. Russell promised•that so long as he and his colleagues are in office, " they will always think well of the fortunes of this country." By way of a sample of the art of thinking well of things when they have an ill look, his lordship added, that " with a growing revenue, and the general ap pearance of the trade of this country," he " is happy to y that in many respects the situation of this country is ?assuring," and "trusts that any dijficul have to surmount may be of a temporary trust so too, with this trifling difference ties WE nature ieve the ie just as lasting or as tem porary as the continuance in office of the noble lord and e country wi his crazy RAILWAY AFFAIRS, Locomotives have been ordered at Newcastle for a rail way in Peru. The opening of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Rail way, as far as Wolverhampton, took place on Monday. On many railways the same number of trains only run on Thursday last as on Sundays.

Doos NOT DOGS !—A clerk of a railway company, in giving his evidence in an appeal case, in answer to a ques tion, said, "Dogs are parcels, sir !" PARLIAMENTARY EXPENSES.—To construct a certain Scotch line of 80 miles in length, no less than TWENTY ONE Acts of Parliament were required. The Whitehaven and Furness Company have com menced the tunnel through the limestone rock at he Crooklands station, Dalton, four miles from Ulverston. The Directors of the London and North-Western Rail way have refused the application of the Caledonian Com pany for an advance of £200,000 or £300,000 upon secu rity of the rolling stock. The correspondent of a daily paper suggests, that it would be a publ:c benefit if the directors of railways could he induced to build a bed carriage to run on their lines, for the transport of the sick or injured. The negotiation between the London and North- Western and Great Western Companys, for a transfer of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction line to the former company—subject to some arrangements relative to the gauge—has gone off. As an instance of the competition between contractors, it is asserted .that there were no fewer than forty-four tenders sent in for the formation of the East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction line, lying between the Lea-cut Canal and Blackwall, and the difference be tween the highest and lowest tender was no less than £16,000. 13' , ILEY V. THE CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY COM PANY.—On Wednesday the argument was resumed be fore the Master of the Rolls, on the demurrer in this case, which was a bill filed by the plaintiff on behalf of himself and all other the £3l shareholders in the company, to re strain the directors from enforcing a call of £lO made on these shares, which was alleged to have been illegally made. His lordship reserved his decision. _ LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—We have much satisfaction in referring to our traffic returns. which show a considerable increase in the receipts of this line for the week ending the 12th instant, as compared with the corresponding period of last year. The increase in the passengers' parcels, &c., has been £1,054, and in the merchandize, 1,040. If the " take "isto be the criterion of a " market value," the increase which has been taking plac.3 in the traffic of this line for some weeks past must be anything but pleasant to the "bears." The Chinese Exhibition reached Edinburgh by railway on Tuesday week. The passage of the train below the bridges was generally effected by the temporary alteration of the rails, so as to enable it to attain the centre of the arch. From the breadth of the vans, the platforms at every station had to be removed, but scarcely any delay was occasioned to the ordinary trains on the line. Much injury was sustained by two of the vans and their fragile contents, in consequence of the heads of the vans coming in violent collision with one of the bridges. ELECTRO-TELEGRAPHIC PROGRESS.—WhiIe the cost of a telegraphic line in England is £l5O a mile, in America and Prussia it is under £2O a mile. The telegraph in Prussia consists of one wire, extending over 1,402 miles, under ground, and covered with gutta percha. Like those in America, it is by Morse, and it is said to be ca able of transmitting 1,000 words an hour. There are up wards of 10,000 miles of telegraph line in America, all worked cheaply. In England there are only 2,000 miles in operation.— The Builder. On Saturday week the first of the great tubes of the Britannia-bridge was finally lowered down again, by a three-feet fall, on to its permanent bed of plates and rol lers; the operation for effecting a junction with the tube on land having occupied about three weeks. The event was cheered by the assembled workmen and spectators, and bailed by the firing of cannon on the Carnarvonshire side of the Straits. The hydraulic presses and lifting apparatus are now being removed from the Anglesea to the Carnarvonshire shore, in order to raise the next tube as soon as it is floated to the piers—an operation which, weather and tide permitting, will take place on the 3rd of next month. THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY COMPANY. SUSPEN SION AND INTERDICT.—This case, which recently came on before Lord Murray, in the Court of Session, in Scot land, was an application to interdict the directors of the railway named from applying the funds of the company in purchasing shares in other railways. His lordship, having considered the note of suspension and interdict for Thomas T. Fawcett, and his mandatories, against the company and their directors, suspends the letters simpli ciler, interdicts, prohibits, and discharges, in terms of the same note; finds expenses due, and allows an account thereof to be given in, so that the same may be taxed. The transaction that gave rise to the proceedings, is stated to have been a misapplication made some years ago of the company towards the purchase of shares to a very great amount in other companies, which shares had since greatly receded in value. A demand was now made upon the purchasers of an additional or final call. These shares are said to be held in trust by certain persons whose names have not been disclosed, for behoof of the company. Although in the first plea of law, stated on record for the respondents, it is said that these shares in the several railway companies having been acquired by the respondents in furtherance of the general undertaking, the purchase was not illegal. But this plea was not main tained by counsel for the respondents, who might be called upon to appear in proceedings directed against the legality of the purchases, The Lord Ordinary considered that the act of the company did not permit the directors to purchase such shares, though in doing so they might have acted from good motives. It was to be lamented that in their zeal they misapplied the funds entrusted to their charge. The counsel for the respondents without denying this, stated that large sums had been paid upon these shares, and the interdict asked for would prevent them from paying up calls on the shares, and also of disposing of them to advantage, which would be minus to the com pany, as the shares would be lost. Without such inter dict the loss arising from the shares might, by good ma nagement, be comparatively inconsiderable. The Lord Ordinary does not feel himself entitled to consider the most judicious mode of diminishing the loss from these unfortunate shares. That was not matter for a court of law. If it was not disputed that this application of the funds was illegal, the court cannot sanction a further misapplication of the funds of the company for that illegal purpose. It may be expedient for the parties who entered into these transactions, and who are-responsible .forthem, and for the individuals in .whose :names these NOT.
