We nev er remember the Finest Teas so cheap as at October the present Moment. We have thi s day rxade extensive purchas es o f th e fi nes t importa tions of Black and Green Teas, from Fourpeace to Sixpence below What the same parcels sold at only four months ago. This ruinous loss is attended with most calamitous results to the merchant ; but the public to this extent are gainers —that they may novr purchase a single pound o f T ea at our establishment in London cheaper than the importer can buy his thousand chests at in Canton . The system of our business has been uniform. We have ever been aitnated by the prineiples of fair dealing, in meeting the altered cir cumstances of the Markets as they arise. This course has been ap preciated by a discerning public, and we gratefully acknowledge a large share of confidence and patronage. We especially invite attention to the remarkably fine Black Tea, which we are charging only Four Shillings per Pound. Very choice Gunpowder at Five Shillings and Fourpeace, and Refined Sugar at Fivepence Halfpenny. The importation ofaeoffee is very large, the qualities very good, and the prices extremely low. SIDNEY and COMPANY, Tea Merchants and Dealers. No. 8, Ludgate-hill. THE TEA ESTABLISHMENT, 8, LUDGATE-HILL, SIDNEY and COMPANY, Proprietors. The rapidly progressive increase in the consumption of Tea and Coffee is one of the pleasing features of the age. The people abstain ing to a considerable extent from the indulgence of intoxicating li quors, more especially from ardent spirits, have become tkoughtful, the nation energetic and powerful. The very interesting statistical accounts published by order of the House of Commons at once show that both Tea and Coffee are com- Puatively of modem use in these kingdoms, and that only within the last few years have they become the ordinary beverage of the people. They are no longer received as luxuries attainable by the wealthy, but aided by the wisdom of the Legislature in throwing open tke markets of the East, prices have been brought within the range of all classes of the community. The Customs' duties on Coffee were very considerably lowered in the celebrated Tariff Bill of Sir Robert Peel in 1842 ; and it is grati fying to know that the revenue has been benefited by such reduction, and the consumption, from 28 million pounds in 1842, increased to upwards of 36 million pounds in 1844. The duties levied upon Tea are enormous. In the past year this article alone yielded the sum of 5,110,8971. 15s. 9d. to the revenue. It is the prevailing opinion, that if Parliament on its assembling Should reduce the tea duties to one-half their present rate (and the select committee appointed by the House of Commons recommend the adoption of such a measure), the consumption would be so vastly augmented, as to fully yield an equivalent revenue to that hitherto %teed from this source, and by thus cheapening an article so ge- Mimitnerally esteemed, extend the comf or t an d soc i al habits ofthe com y. Tlie system of our business has been uniform. We have ever been actuated by the principles of fair dealing, in meeting the altered cir cumstances of the markets as they arise. This coarse has been ap preciated by a discerning public, and we gratefully acknowledge a large share of confidence and patronage. The present year's importation of Tea is likely to be very large ; and this circumstance has had a marked effect upon the value of all descriptions, which, added to the derangement of the Money Market, has tended to depreciate prices below all former precedent. COFFEE —The importation •is an average ono, the quality good, Prices low.

HUNT and WALLEY, the Silk Mercers and Linendrapers of the Edgeware-road. Public sale of their Stock, amounting to 25,0001., to COMMENCE on MONDAY NEXT, Octo ber 18. For particulars see following advertisement. THE Public is hereby informed that the Part nership hitherto existing between Messrs. HUNT and WALLEY was mutually DISSOLTED on the 20th ultimo, and by virtue of a covenant in deed of Diss o l u ti on th e w h o l e o f the Stock must be converted into Cash immediately. In order to carry out this determination, by disposing of so ex tensive a property, and to insure a speedy settlement of affairs, it has been determined upon to offer the whole of the Stock held under the partnership at from one-half to two-thirds of the cost prices. This stock, selected from the principal depo.s of British and Foreign Manufacturers, embraces a magnificent assemblage of Shawls, Silks, Lace, Ribbons, Fancy Goods, and every variety of fashionable attire, besides an immense value of every kind of House hold and Family Linen, Drapery, Foreign and Irish Damasks, Blankets, Flannels, Quilts, &c., the principal part of the latter having been at all times kept in the warerooms, will be found quite fresh, and free from the slightest imperfection. It is hardly requisite to state, that it is under no ordinary circum stances that the present sacrifices would be submitted to, the advan tages to be derived by the public have certainly never been excelled, or rarely equalled ; and as the whole of tile Stock will be most ad vantageously arranged for inspection throughout the various rooms og the Establishment, and every article legibly marked in plain figures, Ladies will do well to embrace the earliest opportunity of inspecting, if only for the information to be derived, as a guide to making purchases in future. The superior character of merchandise vended by this establish ment being so generally well known throughout the metropolis, and so univasally notorious for cheapeess in the ordinary routine of basiness, must, with the reduction before stated (viz., from one half to two-thirds of the cost prices), be quite sufficient for the public to form an opinion of the extreme reasonable prices that will be marked upon the goods, and render it quite unnecessary to make any quotations, as they could convey but a very imperfect idea of the bargains which may be expected.

A R R I A E. M . One half the world are .desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution an worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to deneestie happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and Justice demand that health shouldform aaitem in the compact ; tt alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little MEMOIRS On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vole., Is. each (by post, in stamps, is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter yea, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. id.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and and " How to be Happy." They are not merely amphlets, but equal in quantity a library volame, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be bad of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet •street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand; or direct (by post or other wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally, mornings and evenings), 10, Argyll-place Regent-street ; and all Booksellers.

About eleven o'clock he arrived at St. George's Hall. He came in the carriage of C. Lawrence, Esq., accompanied b 5 that gentleman and W. Earle, Esq. Immediately followed the Mayor's undress carriage, in which we observed G. H. Lawrence, Esq., Mayor, and Lord Sandon. He was met at the gate leading to the works of the Assize Courts and St. George's Hall by Mr. B. Moore and Mr. Lloyd, the chairman of the St. George's Hall committee. Among the gentlemen who had assembled at this place to see and be introduced to the Right lion. Gentleman were Mr. R. V. Yates, Mr. Alderman Nichol, Mr. M`Pie, &c. Mr. Cardwell and Mr. Brown were also present. Conducted by Mr. Lloyd, Mr. C. Lawrence, the Mayor, Mr. J. B. Moore, and others, Sir Robert Peel went _over the entire building, and seemed much pleased with the magnificence of the design. We should have observed, that previous to entering the building he went into the architect's office, and in spected the various plans, drawings, &c., of the entire works. After spending some time in in specting the edifice and conversing with the gentle men who waited on him, he entered the carriage of Mr. Lawrence, sen., and drove up Lime-street, Renshaw-street, Bury-street, along Great George's street, and James-road, down Stanhope-street, and along the Coburg Dock. Alighting at this place he went on board the Great Britain, now lying there, and was received by Messrs. Gibb, Bright, and Co. Mr. Bright conducted him over the principal parts of the ship; after which he again entered the carriage of Mr. Lawrence, sen., and accom panied by the Mayor, and Mr. B. Moore, drove down Wapping, along Sand-street, over the Prince's and Waterloo Dock gates, to the northern docks now in course of construction. He spent some time in minutely examining these works, and seemed much pleased with the plans, &c., which were laid before him, and explained by Mr. B. Moore. At the northern docks he embarked on board the Medina mail steamer, where he was received by Commander Smithett and other naval officers. He cruised for some time up and down the river, and having enjoyed a view of its magnificent docks, &c., he crossed over to Birkenhead. When within a short distance of the landing stage the steamer's boat was lowered, into which Sir Robert Peel, Lord Sandon, the Mayor, Mr. Lawrence, sen., Mr. J. B. Moore, &c., entered, and reached the pier, where they were met by Mr. Jackson, M.P., and Mr. Potter. The party then proceeded to inspect the Birkenhead docks, park, &c. In the foregoing we omitted to mention that Sir Robert, on his way:to the northern docks, called at the newly-erected monument of the late Mr. Hus kisson, at the Custom-house, where there was a large party of all classes of the inhabitants. At this and several other parts of the line through which he passed he was loudly cheered, which seemed to afford him much satisfaction. This evening a civic banquet takes place, when Sir Robert Peel and the other distinguished guests will be entertained by the Mayor. RICE, as a CHEAP and IVHOLESOME FOOD for ALL CLASSES, and Especially as a SUB STITUTE FOR POTATOES. By a Family Man. London : Sherwood, Gilbert, and Piper. EXTRACT No . RICE PUDDING. Take one pound of East India rice, wash it in two quarts of cold water; then put the rice in a clean pudding cloth, and tie it loosely, as rice must have plenty of room to swell, put it on to boil in cold water, over a slow fire, so as to be an hour before it comes to a boil, and then keep it gently boiling another hour. Some persons eat it with salt, some with sugar, and some with sweet sauce made by boiling one table spoonful of either sugar or treacle in a quarter of a pint of the water in which the pudding was boiled. SWEET RICE PUDDING. Put a pound of rice in five pints of cold water, and boil it gently for two hours, by which time it will bacome of the consistency of thick paste; then add two pints of skim milk, or equal parts of milk and water, and four ounces of treacle, and boil the whole gently for another hour. It will produce nearly nine pounds of sweet rice pudding, and will cost rather more than a halfpenny per pound. SAVORY RICE PUDDING. Put one pound of broken rice into three quarts of boiling water. Let it remain for twenty minutes, then skim the water, and add one ounce of hogs' lard or dripping, and a little salt, and let it simmer gently over the fire, closely covered, for an hour and a quarter, when it will be fit for use. If it is to be kept, it should be set by in an earthen pan, covered with a wooden cover. It will produce rather more than eight pounds of savory rice, at a cost of about a farthing per pound. BAKED RICE PUDDING. Put a pound of rice into three quarts of skim milk, or equal parts of new milk and water, and add four ounces of treacle (or a little pepper and salt), and bake it. It will make nearly nine pounds of pudding, at about one penny per pound. RICE MILK. A quart of skim milk, and a quarter of a pound of rice, with a little bit of allspice and brown sugar, will make a cheap and dainty dish. RICE AND TURNIPS.—(A SCOTCH DISH.) • Use Swedish in preference to garden turnips, cut into pieces the size of potatoes, boiled two or three hours, the water well pressed out, then mixed with an equal quantity of rice, which has been thoroughly boiled in the meantime. Add a little butter, gravy dripping, or lard, salt and pepper to taste. (Extract from the Liverpool Mercury, Oct. 16, 1846.) " We have tried the above, it has been partaken of by many friends, and a unanimous verdict pronounces it a most agreeable substitute for potatoes, than which it is far cheaper, and far more nutritious and whole some. It is proposed to name the dish ricenips,' to indicate the union of which it consists. The usual turnip of the kitchen garden, with its vulgar bitter taste, is not to be compared with the Swedish, or field turnip, for this dish." RICE WITH RAISINS OR APPLES. Wash six ounces of rice, mix it with three-quarters of a pound of raisins, tie the whole in a well-floured cloth, giving plenty of room to swell, boil an hour and three-quarters, and serve with sauce. A pound of apples pared, cored, and quartered, will also make a very wholesome pudding, mixed with the rice, and boiled from an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half. RICE WITH GOOSEBERRY, DAMSON, OR ANY OTHER FRUIT. Spread six ounces of rice equally over a moist and well-floured pudding cloth, and place on it a pint of green gooseberries measured after the heads and stalks have been taken off; gather the cloth up carefully round the fruit, give room for the rice to swell, and boil the pudding for an hour and a quarter; sweet sauce or sugar should be eaten with it. Rice for all kinds of soups is much preferable to barley ; is less than half the cost, inasmuch as it swells to double the quantity, and agrees with the most delicate stomach—while barley disagrees with many persons. It is particularly adapted for gravy and brown soups. The rice should be 'put into the soups about twenty or twenty-five minutes before being removed from the fire for dishing. Rice kept in a dry :place will remain good for years. It is a convenient thing for the rich, or those in easy circum stances, to distribute amongst the poor, and eminently. suitable for ships' stores and emigrants. RICE FOR GRAVY AND DROWN SOUPS. This will be found equal to macaroni or vermicelli. The rice should be added to the soup about twenty or twenty-five minutes before it is removed from the fire. East India rice is the strongest, and absorbs much more water than any other. The author respectfully suggests to clergymen and those humane and benevolent individuals who interest themselves in alleviating the distresses of the poorer classes of these kingdoms, the desirableness of gra tuitously distributing among them this cheap pamphlet, seeing that it is, from acknowledged expe rience, proved how very ignorant many of our poor are as to the practice of household economy. He also submits to the conductors of the various public journals the service they might render, in the furtherance of this object, by admitting to their co lurnns some of the useful receipts herein given, and also by noticing the existence of this pamphlet, should they deem it worthy of their favour. T irE DISTRESSED HIGIILANDERS.—A parcel of ancy articles and religious pamphlets has arrived in one of the dock establishments from France, sent to this country by Mr. Turnbull, the British Consul at Mar seilles, to be sold at Edinburgh for the relief of the dis tressed Highlanders, and the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury have given permission for their free delivery for that purpose.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers t Los origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source hn every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physi :al disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excess es. are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific s eurce of mischief; and of greater or less injury to the constitutional :and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and constsq,uence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of axetater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to w kt.th it is subject. This work contalinn an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Ph3rsi ology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conctit ions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of were impoi:tcnce than the preservation of the health, and of the phys deal capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or fro at the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualifle d physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accur ate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy With the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise Use intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who rs.n show by his posse•sion of the requisite legal qualificatiens that h e is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LAWERT has Mit. ti ned the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the to eat extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his p. rofessional experienee, which has reference almost solely to the treatmte nt of these diseases.

Laurence Phillips, and Sons, merchants and East India agents, by whirm the following,circular has been issued : " It gives us much pain to inform you, that in con sequence of the unprecedented pressure on the money-market, and the impossibility of obtaining ad vances upon security, we have deemed it for the in terest of those parties !who have claims upon us to suspend our payments. We have confident expects. tions that our estate will yield a handsome surplus over and above our liabilities, and therefore trust that the course we have taken will, under the unfortunate circumstances of the case, be considered satisfactory to all concerned." 4% _ The liabilities of the firm upon acceptances (run ning over the next six months) are understood to amount to about 70,0001. The assets are stated at from 120,0001. to 125,0001., and these may be classed as follows :—Securities in hand, 20,000/. ; remittances expected from India, 10,000/. ; ditto by the next steamer from America, 10,0001.; coffee plantation at Ceylon, 8,000/. ; capital employed at Calcutta, Madras, and Ceylon, and balances due from New York, 75,0001., the largest portion of this item con sisting of the capital at Calcutta. Under these cir cumstances, it will be seen that the ability of the firm to meet their acceptances was contingent upon the receipt of the anticipated remittances, and in some measure on sales of property in the east, and it is therefore understood that, looking at the uncertain ties which now prevail, they deemed it due to the body of their creditors not to make any immediate sacri fices that might have the effect, in case of disappoint ment in their calculations of benefiting some at the ex pense of others. The cause of the failure, it will be perceived, in this instance, as in the majority of those which have recently occurred, lies in the capital of the house having been placed beyond early command, and of course the nature of the result will depend greatly on the accounts that may now come from India as to the power of realize - flan. Mr. Phillips has long been respected not only for his business character, but for a life of active benevolence, and hence the hopes entertained by his friends of a favourable liquidation are strongly shared by all parties. s_ The failure also, of Messrs. Knapp and Co., bankers, at Abingdon, has been announced. This bank was one of issue, but its fixed circulation was only 29,3161. It was established in 1802. • Letters from Liverpool this morning report the suspension of Messrs. Brown and Todd, provision merchants, and Messrs. W. Steele and Co., soap manu facturers. The liabilities in both cases are said to be moderate. HERALD.—The stringent proceedings of the Bank of England have been the leading topic of dis cussion in the monetary circles, the rates of interest charged far exceeding anything known in regular banking business for upwards of a century. As we stated yesterday, no specific rule is adhered to, but it is currently reported that they have exacted at the rate of 9 per cent. on public securities, and it is an ascertained fact that they have taken at the rate of 71 per cent. on commercial paper with scarcely five weeks to run. That the directors are crippled in their position by the Charter Act does not admit of question, for the pressure for payment of the dividends has continued to-day with scarcely any abatement, and in the present state of public feeling there is no chance of the money going into the hands which, in ordinary circum s t ance s, supplied the means of repaying the loans made to the Bank at the commencement of the financial quarter. We stood alone amongst our contemporaries in pointing out the flagrant error committed by the directors when they reduced the rate of interest for advances made on public securities, compared with commercial bills, and they are now experiencing the fruits of that error in the manner we anticipated. In fact, as a principle, the Bank ought to avoid advancing money , on loan on public securities even in ordinary circum stances, for it has a direct tendency to deceive the public by giving them an artificial value, whilst they should be left entirely to their own weight like every other description of property. The directors mean while are most bitterly accused by many persons who consider themselves to have been victimised on the late occasion. The encouragement which the reduce tion of the rate of interest held out when the books were shut for the payment of the dividends induced many persons to deposit their stock in the belief that there would be no difficulty from the favour shown to get ;their loans prolonged if necessary. The y now, however, fi n d themselves left in the lurch, and are compelled to let their stock go for what it will fetch in the market, when by early notice they might have effected other arrangements. With respect to the rates charged by the Bank, they practically amount to a denial of accommodation for carrying on any regular business; and therefore no person but those in desperate circumstances, or for the purpose of overcoming some temporary difficulty, will avail themselves of it. It is o n ly in the latter view that it is preferable to a total refusal of discounts, and we thus put the case early in the present year. POST.—The stoppage of the highly respectable and long established commercial house of Messrs. Laurence Phillips and Sons,was a leading topic of conversation on 'Change, and, we may add, of very general regret. A more straightforward, and, in all respects, estimable fi rm of gentlemen, could not be named, as connected with the mercantile interest of this country. Messrs. Phillips and Sons represent a house of eighty years existence, and the cause of their suspension (for the stoppage of the firm cannot be justly treated as a failure) is to be traced exclusively to the prostrate condition of the money market. A more solvent house is not to be found, and we have every confidence in the truth of the circular which - . has been issued for the satisfaction of its creditors and friends. The business of Messrs, Phillips was prin cipally with Calcutta, Madras, and Colombo (Ceylon). Their liabilities are estim ate d at 70,000/., an d th e ir assets at 125,000 1 . to 130,0001. The payments of the establishment have been equal to 1 0,0001. per month, but the facilities it has usually obtai ne d f rom th e Bank having, for the moment,d. n early ceased, and the more general business of the lscou nt i n _ g houses being impeded, a continuance of transactions became impossible. It suspends with its a ease f u ll o f goo d bill s backed by dock warra n t s andother su b s t an ti a l guarantees. Under the circumstances such a stop page of payment must beregarded as most cruel, and ascribable only to the pressure of an extraordinary crisis. That the firm will pay every farthing due to I b e no question whatever, since its creditors, there cal , - parties is equal the integrity of the A FIGURATIVE STYLE. --A gallant New England knight of the quill, describing a country d ance , sa ys, " The gorgeous strings of g lass bea ds now glisten on the heaving bosoms of the village belles, like polished rubies resting on the su rface of warm apple dumplings." The Rev.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET , FRIDAY.—The supply of wheat is large, and the value of this article is 2s. per quarter lower than last week; at this concession there is a fair demand, and no pressing disposition to sell.

In the present state of the affairs of Spain, if any doubt could remain on the mind as to the nature of the recent change—if the Moderado party could have been for one instant su s p ecte d o f s i ncerity or mode ration—and if we had had any hopes that their object was to restore a st rong nat i onal Government to the Peninsula, the sudden and furtive departure of Chris tina for Madrid must have put an end to all but the worst anticipations. It is no l onger a quest i on o f t h e administration of Spain ; it is no longer an alterna tion of parties or of men , w hi c h consigns the Mini sterial power to the hands of an Absolutist or a Li beral, of a soldier or a statesman. No Ministry formed for the mere purpose of governing the country, and of carrying on the business of the nation, could by any possibility have invoked the aid of the Queen-Mother. If the objects of Narvaez and his colleagues had been confined to the ordinary functions of a Cabinet, they were sure of the support of the Cortes, they might reckon on the apathy of the nation, but they could not need the assistance of that sinister ally. She left Paris by stealth ; the French Government put in practice the tricks of a farce to conceal her departure ; and before her intention could be known in Madrid she has probably presented herself in the closet of her wretched and terrified daughter. We ventured to say, but a short time ago, that Isabella had begun to reign ; but that was the delusion of an instant. No sooner was the influence of her autho rity and the direction o f h er w ill k nown i n Paris, than the inexorable pair, who are alike steeled against every impulse of duty to a Sovereign or affection to a child, rushed to Madrid, like hounds from the leash, to pull down their defenceless prey. The daring iniquity with which this fresh move has been accom panied—the notoriety of the infamous means which have been employed to purchase success—the undis sembled baseness and villany of every actor in this extraordinary tragedy, render it one of the most ex traordinary scenes we halve witnessed in contemporary history. No.,,w9,nderiUsabella,exposed alone to face this ominous conjunction, without a counsellor or a friend, should crouch and sink under the lies and threats of those who now alone surround her and shut out all human relief. She had, indeed, marked out one man by an indiscreet and deplorable favour, in which the weakness of the woman betrayed the dignity of the Queen. We do not mean to palliate that fault, but it has been bitterly expiated. The object of that mis placed confidence betrayed it : he proved false to every obligation of loyalty, gratitude, and affection ; he sold her who had raised him but too high ; he sold his Queen at the instigation of a foreign Govern ment; he sold the woman whom of all men he was bound to defend. The name of General Serrano, by whatever titles it may hereafter be concealed, stands henceforth in the lists of infamy by the side of Deutz and of Maroto. Having accomplished this master piece of villany, we are not surprised to learn that General Serrano has disappeared. It is a mistake to suppose that Narvaez ever intended to share his power with a rival of that nature. He probably expected, and indeed boasted, that on his return to Madrid he should rid himself of the favourite by the most expe ditious process. That proved at the moment to be im possible:; but the means subsequently:employed, though slower and more costly, have been equalle effectual. The next personage of whom we shall be curious to hear something is the frigid husband and the puppet King, Don Francisco d'Assis, who has sunk into such extreme insignificance and contempt that even the importance of the part he was made to play at the wedding has not saved him from months of oblivion. We do him, however, the justice to believe that he is conscious of his own degradation, and of the fatal consequences of the marriage he was led to contract. He is said to be no less anxious than the Queen her self to be released from so odious a tie; and he pro bably learns with equal terror that Narvaez and his mother-in-law have undertaken the ominous task of reconciliation. It would seem, indeed, at present, that throughout the country, from the august per sonages most immediately concerned down to the lowest organs of political party, the entire Spanish nation is stricken with an universal and unspeakable terror, by the sole appearance of these well-known agents on the scene. Everybody knows their true character. Everybody agrees that all the bad passionslwhich:can prey upon a monarchy are in carnate in their persons. Everybody believes that they are come to put constraint on the Queen of Spain, to rivet her hands, and perhaps to thrust her from the throne and place a Frenchman upon it. Ask where you will, there is not a man in Spain, even amongst their own adherents, by whom they are not execrated as much as they are feared, and feared as much as they are known. And yet, such is the in conceivable condition of that nation, that not an effort has been made to save the Sovereign from this auda cious interference with ber independence, or to rescue the country from the grasp of an intrusive domina tion. Probably the cold indifference inte which the Spanish people are supposed to have subsided, even on the subjects which once lay nearest to their honour and their hearts, has encouraged the French party to these decisive demonstrations and prompt activity. Louis Philippe has shown himself a great master of the chief element of political dealing—op. portunity; and everything now prescribes acce lerated action. At the same time all our accounts concur in stating that Narvaez has been most ear nestly recommended to abstain from any violent or arbitrary acts which might excite public feeling; to endeavour to conciliate, employ, or at least lull the Progressistas ; to tolerate even the press, and to meet the Cortes with a fair demeanour. If the object of these precautions was to establish a firm and mode rate administration, we should desire nothing better, and they point out precisely the line of policy we should be most: di s p ose d t o a p prove . B u t it isim possible to shake off the apprehension of far deeper designs. This very candour and moderation, which we are ready to applaud in itself, wears the semblance of a disguise; and no one can look back at the trans actions of the last eighteen months in Spain without perceiving that the policy of France has been go verned by a very different object than that of insur ing to Queen Isabella a long and prosperous reign. In spite of this apparent calm and this boasted triumph, everything within the radius of 'Madrid is precarious and uncertain. Intimidation is the only means which can be employed by the Government, for bribery has its limits; and these resources are always liable to defeat their own object, especially in a country and at a time when every other feeling and interest is opposed to it. And although an efficient French army of 40,000 men has been concentrated on the Pyrenees, and every village on the Spanish frontier of France is lined with troops, military force is the last instrument Louis Philippe will employ.— Times. 111MRSIIAL SOULT.—A letter f rom St. A mans , i n a provincial journal, states that Marshal Soult, who some days ago was attacked with an indisposition, which ap peared to be but slight, has since become dangerously ill.—Gulignani. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—MUNIFICENT LE. GACY.—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the governors, and committee of the above hospital was held in the board room of the institution, in Portugal-street, Line.°ln's Inn for the transaction of general business. The report stated that there were at present 109 in-patltnts, and since the commencement of the present year 1,013 had been admitted, and during the same period upwards of 14,000 out-patients had been placed on the books; the numbers of the latter class of patients had latterly been greatly on the increase. An increased number of poor married women have been attended at their own homes during their confinement (last year this class was nearly 500). The total number of in and out-patients who have participated in the benefits of the charity, since its institution in 1839, have been nearly 100,000. The funds of the hospital are very low; every shilling will be expended to meet the demands of the past quarter, with out trenching upon the funded stock, which is but of small amount. A legacy of 1,0001. has recently been bequeathed by the late Miss Collyer. CHOLERA.--Some years ago, when Asiatic cholera was in the south of France, a physician of Marseilles having noticed that charcoal men were exempt from the . disorder, determined to try charcoal as a remedy for it, and was eminently successful in its practice. As no effectual remedy for this disease appears to have been hitherto discovered, and as charcoal would at any rate be harmless, it might be well worth a trial both in Asiatic and other cholera. Its action is understood to be antiseptic. By correcting the putrid condition of the bowels, the disease is said to be checked. INVERNESS.—MR. MATHESON.—We understand th. .iat our burgh Member, Alexander Matheson, Esq., of Ardross, has handsomely presented Dr. Nicol with a sum of 1001. towards the improvement of the Ness Islands, the state of which has been so long a matter of regret with our townsmen.

"1511 • DREART ( I7L SHIPWrik. FALMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—IIIteIIi ce was re ceived here t o -d ay , th roug h the 'um of letters from Mr. R Price, the Vice-Consul for the Foreign Powers at Penzance, of a shocking wreck having occurred on the rocks near the Lizard, en the night of Sunday last, accompanied by a melancholy loss of life. The ill-fated vessel was a large three-masted Russian ship, named the Iris, Captain•, Icyileng:., master, belonging to Bj orne b erg , from Vole.; laden with nearly 2,000 quarters of Indian corn, and bound to this port for orders. Ste made the land within the Lizard about 10 o'clock on the night in question, but unfortunately at so short a distance that there was no preventing her running ashore. In such a gale as was then blowing, her destruction among the rocks was inevitable. Her anchors were let go, and her masts cut away, in the hope she would ride out the gale; but in a few minutes she began to drift, and was carried against the rocks midway between Mallion and Gunwalloe, where she was dashed to atoms. The master and two of the seamen, by some unaccountable fortune, were washed up into a niche in the cliff, from which they succeeded in scram bling to the summit, and seeing a light at a distance, they hastened in the direction of it. They found it proceeded from a house, where they were hospitably sheltered. The imitates, hearing of the catastrophe, proceeded to the spot to ascertain, if possible, the fate of the remainder of the crew. Nothing, however, could be discerned of the vessel or -any person belong ing to her ; the howling of the storm and the lashing of the sea against the broken rocks at the basement of the cliff stifling all cries, if any were raised. No tice of the wreck was immediately forwarded to the coast-guard station, and as quickly as possible Lieut. Drew and the principal officers arrived with the ne cessary apparatus to communicate with the wreck, as also Mr. Nicholas, the Deputy Consular agent, and a party of men. At daybreak three poor creatures were observed clinging to a small rock, the sea break ing over them most terrifically. After considerable difficulty a line was thrown to them from the over hanging cliffs and stronger ropes added. It was im possible to obtain any other means of communication. The first object was to supply them with some brandy and other stimulants, it being too perceptible that they were almost in the last stage of exhaustion from the dreadful sufferings they had endured daring the night and morning. This was the means of restoring them, and at ten o'clock they were drawn up safely to the main land. The fate of the remainder of the ship's crew was then learnt. They were never seen after the vessel parted, and the presumption is that they, eight in number, perished with her. The survivors received every attention which their ais tressed condition required; some of them were sadly bruised, but they have all recovered, and have been forwarded to this port properly clothed. In reference to the prompt and humane exertions made on this melancholy occasion to save life, we may mention that none more distinguished themselves for their gallantry than Henry Cuttance and the other parties who par ticipated in the reward recently bestowed by the King of Norway for their daring exertions in pre serving the crew of a wrecked Norwegian vessel ; and it may also be observed that Mr. Pearce, Rib) ren dered valuable aid in this instance, presented the tri bute, in accordance with the desire of the King. tip to the latest accounts none of the bodies of the suf ferers had been washed up. It is almost needless to state that the ship and cargo are a complete loss ; it is understood, however, that insurances had been effected on them. COMMUNICATION WITH GUARDS OF RAILWAY TRAINS. A lady engineer has at length solved the problem of a convenient and practicable communication between the passengers and guards of railway trains, in a manner exempt from most of the evils that have hitherto deterred rail way men from entertaining such projects. The evil 3 of most methods hitherto suggested has been that they alarm only, instead of simply communicating, and that they are of a nature liable to frequent derangement, or neglect, or disuse. This invention is neither more nor less than a common talking tube, such as many business men have in their offices to talk with their clerks in another room. This her ladyship the inventress proposes to put in every carriage of a railway train. The appa ratus generally will be as follows : a common tin tube say an inch in diameter, will pass along every carriage, say just under the roof; and at each end an India rubber pipe will continue it into the next carriage, so as to be detached with each carriage (by a bayonet joint) and attached when the train is formed. Any eye will detect the continuity or discontinuity of the communication from the outside of the train before starting, and the India rubber will allow any flexure or extension without injury to the communication. There will thus be one continuous speaking tube all along the train ; an orifice, closed with a spring, except when in use, will he in each carriage, and the number of each carriage will be legibly inscribed on it; a similar orifice will be conveniently placed at the seat of the guard of the train. Each passenger can thus address to the guard any communication that may be required, and the conversation may be conducted as follows : PASSENGER SPEARS.—" Guard." " Sir."—" A gentleman in this carriage has been taken suddenly ill, apparently with an apoplectic fit."—" Which car riage ?"—" No. 351."—" I will stop the train in stead of passing the station, and inquire if there be a medical man at hand." Or thus :—" Guard."— " We have a maniac in this carriage, No. 241, pray come to our assistance."—" I will imme diately." Or :—" Guard."—" Sir."—" No. 271 car riage has a hot axle, and is setting fire to the car riage."—" I'll stop the train ;" and so on. There is this difference between this mode of com munication and the alarums proposed, that instead of a vague alarm being given, a specific message is communicated, and the guard is left the option of complying with the request or declining, so as to use his discretion coolly with a full knowledge of the cir cumstances. There are sundry matters of convenience to be attended to in this before it is practically quite perfect; but we think our lady correspondent has hit the simplest method, and the least objectionable.— Railway Chronicle. THE COLLISION ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY. Captain Symonds, civil engineer, one of the inspec tors of railways for the Board of Commissioners, made an official inquiry yesterday into the recent collision at the Keymer branch junction on the above line. He was attended by Mr. Peter Clarke, the acting manager, and several of the company's officers. The collision, it will be recollected, occurred on Sa turday morning to the seven o'clock down or Parlia mentary train, and the 8 30 up-train from Lewes. An impression is entertained that the Lewes train had partly got over the junction, and that the hinder part was cut down by the Parliamentary train, which was not the case. It was the engines that met. The one attached to the Lewis train, with its tender, was thrown off the line, and a horsebox in the rear of it was completely crushed to atoms, the fragments breaking in the end of a first-class carriage. Captain Symonds strictly interrogated both drivers of the train, as also the man who had charge of the company's signals at the Keymer branch, and was, we understand, satisfied that no blame could be attributed to either party. It was admitted that the spot chosen fur the junction of the Keymer hranch was not the most eligible for the public safety, being situate in a curve with cuttings on either side. The driver of the down-train raid, the signals at the junction could be seen some distance off on the morn ing of the accident. They indicated " all right," until the train reached the bridge on the London side of the junction, w h en u p wen t th e signal, " Stop.', lle instantly shut off the steam and applied the breaks of the tender, the guards also applying theirs. Had they been in working order, however, they would have brought up the train within the distance from the bridge to the junction, at least as regards the tender breaks, as afterwards found, and hence arose the collision. The engine and tender were quite new, and the non-acting of the breaks is attributable to the screws being " fixed.' Captain Symonds was informed that, since the accident, the company had altered the points at the junction, so that no down train could now pass over the Keymer rails, which cross the down line, without the aid of the points man.

He was son to Lieutenant Colonel Dickens, late of the Ist Foot, a gentleman who was descended from George Duke of Clarence, brother to King Edward IV. In 1778 he entered the Royal Artillery, and in 1779 was made Second Lieutenant. He subsequently entered the Royal Engineers, and was stationed in the western district from 1780 to 1784. From the latter part of 1784 to 1800 he was stationed at Gibraltar. In 1794 he attained the rank of Captain, Royal Engineers. He afterwards served under Sir James Pulteney on the coast of France and at Ferrol. He was next engaged under Sir Ralph Abercromby during the operations in the Mediterranean, in 1800, England. and was altogether thirty years absent from En 7a .
