NEW CORN LAW AND CORN NIARkETS The new Corn Law, which was passed in the last session 'of parliament, in addition to the alteration in the scale of - duties which were to be levied on the admission of foreign giain, also effected a change in the number of places in Eng land which were to make the returns from which the average price was to he taken. Formerly, under the old act, the number of towns rendering these returns was 150, which. by the new act, was increased to 290. It is a matter of some interest to ascertain in what manner the addition of these 140 new markets-has influenced the averages of corn, and by that means altered the scale of duties on the admission of foreign grain. For the solution of this question the following calcu lations have been made ;—Taking one of the recent returns (Gazette, October 28), it will be found that the total quan tity of wheat received in the week ending the 22nd October, in all the 290 towns, was 32,077 quarters, which was sold at an average price of 50s. 9'465d. per quarter; and this is the price which is inserted in the list to form the average of six weeks, to regulate the duty on foreign wheat. Now, if the returns from the 140 new places are selected from the Gazette, the total quantity of wheat sold in them is 23,828 qrs. 2 bush., and the price paid £61,637 17s. 9d., giving an average of 51s. 9d. per quarter nearly, which is higher than the total average of all the 290 places making the returns. But as the quantity of wheat sold in these 140 new markets is very small in proportion to the whole of the returns, being little more than one-fourth of the total amount, the following cal culation must be made to ascertain what would have been the average under the old system, and supposing these fresh places had not been added : _ - Quarters. Value. Total as by the Gazette, 92,077 at 535. 9.565 d. £233,823 15 9 140 New Places 23,328 at 51s. 9d. 61,637 17 9 150 Old Places.. ... 68,249 £172,185 11 0 This gives an average of 50s. 54d. per quarter, and which would have been the return for the week in question, had no alteration been made in the number of places contributing to the averages. It appears, therefore, iu this instance, that although the change in the number of places is theoretically in favour of the importer and consumer of foreign wheat, yet that the difference is aery small, and in one week is not suf ficient to make an alteration in the duty. But, on general principles, it does not seem reasonable to suppose that this will be the result usually obtained by the introduction of the 140 new places into the averages. The former 150 towns comprise all those which can fairly be considered either as importing markets or large marts for the article; and all the additional places are equally removed from the influence of competition with foreign corn, and the demand occasioned by large bodies of consumers. The transactions of the last few weeks have certainly had a tendency to lower the price of English wheat in all the large markets, where foreign grain was consequently being offered for sale against it at conside rably lowering terms. This effect could not be produced in the smaller inland places, and hence the price of wheat has been better maintained in the latter towns than in the re gular marts for the article. But in times of little or no foreign importation into the large markets, it is probable that the effect will be completely reversed, and that in the smaller places, remote from external outlet for their produce, the price will generally rule lower than in the principal markets nearer to places of large consumption. THE LEAGUE.—A grand field-day was announced by the League for Tuesday last. Accordingly an entirely new set of actors was engaged for the occasion. Names which have rarely figured before at similar gatherings took conspicuous parts, and the whole affair was got up with much pains and due attention to decorum. Whether, however, we are to attribute the fact to the damper thrown on all political agi tation by the cheering news from China, or to any other cause more immediately affecting the popularity of the League, and its relations to the Government, it is certain that the attendance was thin, and the proceedings charac terised by a degree of sobriety and moderation verging on dullness. Mr. Robert Hyde Greg, the chairman, made a forcible speech in favour of a moderate fixed duty!—and no speaker, to judge from the report, reprobated or repudiated a doctrine heretofore so vehemently denounced by the zealots of the League. Manchester Chroniele. CONSISTENCY OF THE LEAGUE.—At at meeting of the league in Liverpool, on Friday last, Mr. Cobden told his gaping auditors that if the corn laws were repealed," the rent of the agricultural land in the country would be higher than it ever has been, and higher than it ever can be without free trade." So that, despite the whig-radical journals, this is not a landlords' question in the sense in which thay use the expression. But how does Mr. Cobden intend to in crease rents? By using the screw to the farmers! He says, "we are forced in our manufacturers. You are forced in your ship-building. We are forced to improve by the force of competition. Why not apply the same force to the farmers 7" This, we think, is pretty' expressive as to the intention of the league. When the hired " intellect " of Acland was employed amongst the Cleveland tenantry, he ex alted the farmers, and endeavoured to depress the landlords. Cobden, the employer of Acland, tells the people of Liver pool, that free trade will increase the rents of the landlords, and injure the farmers. Which of the worthies are we to believe? Neither. They are both looking after own selfish interests, and care- not one rush for landlord, farmer, or labourer. They each seek their own aggrandizement—the one by the increase of his manufacturing profits—the other by hiring out his " intellect " to the highest bidder. — Durham Advertiser. SALE OF FOREIGN CATTLE.—WC noticed, last week, the importation of a lot of Dutch cattle by Messrs. Nicol and Munro. Last afternoon ten of these animals were exposed for sale by public auction on Provost Blaikie's quay, and brought the following prices :—Three cows, which lately calved, with the calves along with them, were struck out at £lO 25., £lO ls., and £ll 14s. respectively. Three cows, to calve in December next, at £B, £8 45., and £8 respectively. Two queys at £5 and £8 respectively ; and a pair of three year-old oxen at £2O. The cattle looked excellent. They are of a pretty large size, but of good make, somewhat lean; but, when subjected to this country's feeding, will, no doubt, soon make up. As people were on their way to the sale, attention was attracted by a bustle on the quay. On ap proaching the place, it was found that a second importation bad newly arrived in a vessel from Norway; and consisted of about forty animals. It would, perhaps, he presumption to say that some of the farmers looked somewhat glum; yet how should they ? it is all the doings of their old friends. Some of them, however, assumed a brighter aspect, and were congratulating their neighbours with the consolation, " We'll get cheap farms ere lang, man; the rents maun come dour." —Aberdeen Banner. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN A PAPER-MILL.--A most shock ing fatility occurred on Wednesday at the paper manufactory of Mrs. Mary Crompton, situate at Collyhurst, Manchester. The sufferers on this melancholy occasion were a woman named Eliza Jackson, 28 years of age, house-servant to Mrs. Crompton, who was killed on the spot, her body being liter ally torn is pieces, and Mrs. Crompton, herself, who lost her left arm. The occurrence most painfully exemplified the great danger of fly-wheels, cog-wheels, and other portions of revolving machinery being left exposed, so that the dress of persons passing may get entangled. A good deal of evidence was given at the inquest respecting the occurrence, and the jury returned a verdict " that the deceased died from lacera tions and fractures accidentally received from a cog-wheel," stating that had it not been for the injuries received by Mrs. Crompton, who had lost an arm, and was in other respects very much injured, in trying to extricate the deceased, they should have imposed a very heavy deodand on the machinery, owing to the extremely dangerous and unprotected state in which it had been suffered to remain, but for which the de ceased might have been still alive • but they considered the injuries Mrs. Crompton had suffered already sufficient for her to bear. THE LATE MURDER AT STANLEY, DERBYSHIRE. — Within the last week very important evidence has been ob tained respecting the murder of Miss Goddard, at Stanley, in this county, It seems to go very far towards fixing upon the parties, particularly . Holmes, the sweep, now in our coun ty gaol, the crime with which they are charged, and for which they will be tried at the ensuing spring assizes. It ap pears that for a period of about three weeks previously to the commission of the murder, Holmes, one of the alleged mur derers, had in his employ a lad of about 18 years of age, na med Richard Droufield, commonly called among his compa nions " Dick the Sweep." This lad states he was with Holmes at Heage, at the time of the murder, and was privy o a conversation between the three men, Holmes, Bonsall, and Bland, which, if true, places beyond doubt their guilt ; and he also speaks to their arming themselves with staves, and to Holmes taking a knife with him, having w h e tt e d i t f o r the pu r p ose , on th e even i ng on which the murder was com mitted, as well as to their burning the staves when done with. It appears that, after the murder, the clothes stolen from the Misses Goddard were divided amongst the murderers, and the lad stated that Bossall secreted his share in a garden, and that Holmes hid his in a sough near to Ambergate. The sough, which was pointed out, has been searched, and several shawls and gowns belonging to Miss Goddard were found as described by the lad. Most of these have been clearly iden tified by parties residing in Stanley and the neighbourhood. Dronfield is now with Mr. Potter, of the Hill-top, who bas clothed him, and will give him employment until the assizes. It is needless to say that Dronfield stands perfectly clear of the least participation M the murder. All he knows of it was obtained in consequence of his being in Holmes's employ, and his overhearing the conversations of the alleged murderers, Derby Mercury. A Mon ERN " SIDROPIIEL. "— On Friday, at the Man chester Borough Court, a man named James Bradshaw was brought before Mr. Maude, charged with imposing upon ignorant persons by pretending to tell their fortunes. Mr. Beswick, chief superintendent of police, stated that in con sequence of information which he had received, to the effect that the prisoner was issuing bills and cards in the town and neighbourhood, wherein he pretended to the extraordinary power of predicting future events, he (Mr. B.) went on Thursady night, accompanied by Inspector M`Mullin, to the house occupied by the prisoner, No. 1, Hawthorn-place, St. Andrew's-street, Travis -street. They got there between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, and on entering the house, found the prisoner seated in the front parlour, in the act of telling a man's fortune. He did,not recognize the officers, and they accordingly sat down, and listened to what was going on. It appeared that the man whom they had found in company with the prisoner, had gone to obtain his assist ance to find a ring which he supposed to be stolen. The astrologer informed him that it was, stolen, but that he durst not tell him who was the party that had stolen it ;- but that if he took out a search warrant against the person whom he suspected, he would no doubt fi n d the ring, as his suspicions re s ted on the right party. As a rea son f or not naming the individual, the prisoner alleged that if it came out in court, on the thief being tried, from s _ whom himhom the prosecut or o b ta i ne d subject the information , it would ___ (the pr o ph et ) to three mon th s ' imprisonment. Theman, apparently.. satisfied with this information, paid the soothsayer ins cha rge of sixpence, and withdrew. Mr. Beswick _then . entered i n t o conversation with him, and pointing to M , Mani. stated that th at was a friend of his who bad been unfortunateprospeienbufosir hnetsse ataidmewho wanted to know what were his to come.

Now it is always well to bring dissenting statements to the test of actual facts, when it can be done, not only for the truth's sake, but with the view, if possible, of shaming the dissenters themselves into more reputable conduct towards the church. Accord ingly, we furnish the public with a summary of the returns for all the English counties, taken from the parliamentary documents, printed by order of the House of Commons and we now submit our account to their impartial notice.

In Mr. Dickens's recent publication, American Notes for General Circulation, we find the following passage, in which the American University of Cambridge is very highly praised, and, by inference and suggested contrast, our own universi ties proportionably condemned : " There is no doubt that much of the intellectual refine ment and superiority of Boston is referable to the quiet influence of the University of Cambridge, which is within three or four miles of the city. The resident professors at that university are gentlemen of learning and varied attain ments ; and are, without one exception that I can call to mind, men who would shed a grace upon and do honour to any society in the civilized world. Many of the resident gentry in Boston and its neighbourhood, and I think I am not mistaken in adding a large majority of those who are attached to the liberal professions there, have been educated at this same school. Whatever the defects of American universities may be, they disseminate no prejudices, rear no bigots, dig up the buried ashes of no old superstitions, never interpose between the people and their improvement, exclude no man because of his religious opinions; above all, in their whole course of study and instruction, recognise a world, and a broad one too, lying beyond the college walls." We do not mean to quarrel with the commendations be stowed by Mr,. Dickens on this American institution. It is probably as good a school as the country is capable of main taining ; but as to its fame, it has not in any great force as yet crossed the Atlantic (we only know one distinguished person cDnnected with it, Judge Storey;) nor does Air. Dickens think proper to give us any information with respect to particulars or individuals which might serve to enlarge our appreciation of the merits of Cambridge, Massachusetts. For the rest, we do not think the very amusing author of " Pickwick" is exactly the visitor one would select to report upon the system of education at a university, or tbe learning and attainments of its professors. We dare say Mr. Dicken, ascertained that these gentlemen were good Pickwickians, but as for the learning and attainments, we apprehend hr was obliged to take them upon trust. At least it must be so, if we are correct in believing that to judge of scholarly acquirements in literature and science one would require to be himself imbued with some small tincture of learning, which deep, and long, and regular study alone can give, and which, it is evident, from all Mr. Dickens's works, it was not his lot to a cqu i re . B u t we p ass on to his very obvious and preposterously bitter attack upon the universities of his own country. It is an extraordinary thing that, notwithstanding the splendid array of men of learning and genius the universities send forth every year, to fill the highest ranks in every profession or vocation, learned and honourable, no " puny whipster" who bas contrived to make a noise in the world—often great, in proportion to the emptiness of the vessel from which it proceeds —can refrain from assaulting those seats of learning, those benign mothers of mightiest men. Year after year is the offence committed. And these assailants, writing, as they do, in utter ignorance of the universities and all belonging to them, are suffered to swell the vulgar clamour which prevails amongst the un educated, without reply or reprobation. The fact is, the children of the universities will not condescend to reply to those attacks, at which every gentleman and scholar in the community cries " Pshaw ! " Perhaps, too, it is better thus. But there is something so racy in Mr. Dickens's flood of philosophic eloquence above cited, that we really must throw away a word or two on it. In the first place, the utter mis conception of the nature and objects of a university, as we English understand it, is abundantly ludicrous. Our uni versities do not profess to breed stockbrokers, or money jobbers, or the like "calculating cattle." There is no talk of cents, no class for instruction in the mode of winning them. Our boast is that our universities are not at all con nected with the " world worldly," or its sordid pursuits. There it is, that after a man has passed through the pains of childish years, and derived from his school-boy labours enough to enable him to present himself as an intellectual recipient of knowledge, he goes to prepare himself for the struggles of the world as an aspirant should do for initiation in the ancient mysteries. In the sacred seat of learning there is presumed, so far as all sordid, common-place— " common sense" if you will, and as snobs apply the phrase —common-sense feeling is concerned, to be an utter ab straction from the world ; "no public and no private care " is to weigh upon the student, who has only to educate his mind by the discipline of the exact sciences, and to make it " richly dight ' with the memories of the sacred past. He is not "in the race" for anything; he is only training to take a lead upon any course whereon an honourable am bition may in after days incite him to attend. And in the beautiful lore then acquired he is providing for himself that consolation in retreat from the turmoils of public life whereof Cicero most grandly speaks, and which William Pitt and Lord Wellesley found. Pitt—Wellesley ! There was some thing very beautiful in th e recurrence of o ne w h ose name i s well known in the east, " from which," as Napoleon says, " all great reputations come," as that of the mightiest bar baric conquerors, to his early studies, as the boy of Eton and the youth of Oxford. Beautiful, too, to find him in his old age coming forward to refute a slanderer (one Wraxhall) in his ignorant assault upon the scholarship of William Pitt, and showing that the favourite studies of the great statesman and orator's decline were those which inspired his rise in life —Demosthenes and the rest of the illustrious orators of Greece. With respect to the sounding charges made by Mr. Dickens against our universities, of disseminating prejudices, rearing bigots, and digging up old superstitions, and the like, we be lieve, in point of fact, that it amounts to this—religion is made the basis of education in the English universities, and radicalism is not admired ; the reverse being the case in the American institution, whose praises Mr. Dickens so delights to promulgate. CASE OF CUTTING A FEMALE WITH A KNIFE.—A young woman named Mary Fairweather was, yesterday, charged at the police-court with having assaulted a Mrs. Edwards, and wounded her severely in the head with a knife. The prisoner, it appeared, called at the complainant's house on Saturday night; a quarrel ensued, and the prisoner took up a knife and inflicted a large wound on the head of the complainant, just above the right temple. The prisoner stated that the complainant had first assaulted her and torn her dress. She denied havintused the knife at all. The prisoner was re quired to pay a fine of £5, or be imprisoned for two months ; also to find bail to keep the peace. CHURCH ARRANGEMENTS. — On Sunday last being the first Sunday in the Ecclesistical year, the Rev. J. H. Staf ford, minister of St. Paul's Church, in this town, according to previous announcement, made several alterations in the mode of conducting public worship in that church. No psalm was sung, as has heretofore been the case, before the commencement of the service, but an anthem was sung after the third collect. A " Sanctus" was sung whilst the minister passed from the reading desk to the communion table ; and there was no psalm or hymn between the Nicene Creed and the sermon. but the clergyman proceeded at once from the communion table to the pulpit. After the sermon in the morning, the minister returned to the Lord's table, and, after repeating one or two sentences of the offertory, said the prayer for the church militant, and concluded with one of the appointed collects, and the usual blessing On Sundays, when the holy communion is administered, alms will be col lected from the whole congregation. We believe the same order was observed in St. Stephen's Church. THE ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE,—This august body con tinues its weekly meetings, and, judging from the lengthy reports in some of the London papers, the general reader would be led to believe that its importance was daily in creasing. Such, however, is not the case : the meetings are not characterized by any new feature ; the same gentlemen who have all along kept up the agitation are the only speakers on these occasions; no means are left untried to give them an importance that neither does nor never did belong to them. The elaborate reports which appear in the London Papers are regularly paid for from the funds of the asso ciation ; and every now and then a new bait is held out in orde r to collect numerous companies, including a number of fem ales who belonganypretensions to a certain class which excludes them to the definition given of the " guid" housewives sof Scotland , who are " woo'd an' married an' a'."

L.S.] UNITED STATES The packet-ship Patrick Henry, Captain Delano, which sailed from New York on the morning of the Sth instant, arrived at this port on Sunday night. The papers brought by her are six days later than those received on Friday by the packet-ship Oxford, Captain Ratnone,- but they do not contain much news. The Cabinet would, it is stated, be recognized before the meeting of Congress in December. Mr. Webster would retire from it, and Mr. Cushing would occupy his seat. Mr. Spencer and Mr. Upshur were both mentioned as candidates for the office of Secretary of State. Mr. Webster was on a visit to New York. The citizens had presented an address to him. His reply was short, but eloquent, and it gave general satisfaction. The Constitution frigate and the Marian sloop of war bad been ordered to proceed forthwith to Vera Cruz, to protect American interests there. Accounts had been received from Campeachy to the 14th ult. All was quiet in Yucatan; but an attack by the Mexi cans was momentarily expected. From Mexico and Texas there are not any late accounts. The Montreal payers 'to the 2d instant inclusive do not contain any news worth extracting. The British and North American royal mail steamer the Caledonia, Captain Lott, which sailed from this port on the afternoon of the 13th ult., arrived at Boston at nine o'clock on the morning of the 2d instant, after a passage of 13 days and 19 hours. The Great Western, Lieutenant Hosken, which sailed from Bristol on the 22d ult., arrived at New York on the 6th instant, at six o'clock in the evening, having made the passage in 15 days. NEW YORK MARKETS. WEEK ENDING Nov. 5. The offerings at the banks have been gradually increasing for the last few weeks. The demand has been fully met, however, and money continues abundant. Some specie is still going'south for purchases or advances on cotton, but the opinion now seems to be, that quite sufficient has already gone forward to restore the equilibrium of the exchanges. The wants of the community in New Orleans have been enhanced by the peculiar position of their banks, and the near approach of the resumption-day (Dec. 5) has prevented their doing what, under ordinary circumstances, they might with safety have done; and, consequently, the bulk of the ex change operations have passed through the hands of indi viduals. The amount of money required to transact the business of the coming season will, on account of the low prices, be much less than usual, and the shipments made, not only from the North, but from South Carolina, Georgia, and Europe, will give great facility to the planters and factors. The moderate amount of imports and the low rate of foreign exchanges are considered favourable to a continued abundance of money. The contraction in the currency has been very severe and general throughout the country ; in Ohio, for in stance, we observe, by a recent statement, that the circulation is but about 30 per cent upon the capitals of the banks, and if the amount of notes held by the banks was deducted, even this would be considerably reduced. The position of money matters in England is favourable to the demand for specie likely to arise from this country. The abundant crops will prevent any drain to the Continent for the purchare of grain, and the Bank of England has now in her vaults bullion to an almost unprecedented amount. No very considerable demand for business purposes is antici pated. The recent intelligence from England presents no essential change from our commercial advices. The price of cotton continued low, with a moderate demand. The crop in this country promises to exceed that of any former year, and un less some increased demand for manufactured goods should arise, there seems little prospect of any immediate advance. It is not impossible, however, that the attention of capi talists may be directed to purchases of the raw material, as promising a very considerable profit when any improvement in trade takes place, while the risk of loss at present rates is comparatively trifling. All past experience, however, has demonstrated that speculations are most frequently and con fidently made when the scale of prices is much higher, and that at the lowest rates, more timidity and caution than ordinary is exercised. The transactions in foreign exchanges have been trifling since the sailing of the steamer. As several mails are now due from the South, it is probable the supply of bills will be considerably augmented before the market opens for the steamer of the 16th. We quote, On London Paris Hamburg.... Amsterdam . Bremen 74+ to 75+ We notice no material variation in the quotations of domestic exchanges. The business is limited, with a fair demand on s,,nie points, especially on the extreme southern. The transactions in stocks are very small, and confined mostly to state stocks for investments. We notice a slight decline in some of the Western stocks. .It is understood that the interest of Ohio will be promptly met as usual. The stocks of our city and state are well maintained, and investments continue to be made with freedom. Fancy stocks are mostly neglected, and there appears to be very little disposition to operate either for an advance or a decline. Asuus.—There has been a fair amount of business trans.. acted in Ashes this week. The sales of pots amount to about 600 barrels, all at 5,50 dollars. They are in demand at that rate to-day, and the principal holders are asking an ad vance. Of pearls, about 300 barrels were sold at 5.87 k dol lass to 5. 93.1 dollars, and there is a brisk demand at the for mer rate. CorroN.—The business this week has been to a very mo derate extent, the effect of the news per the Caledonia being to divest the market ol'what little animation it previously pos sessed. The sales for the week ending lastevening amounted to 2570 bales. of which 1800 were Upland and Florida at 6 to 8- cents ; 400 Mobile at 7 to 91, and 370 New Orleans at 6 to 9 cents. The arrivals during the same period were 1244 bales. Prices are to cent lower than on Saturday last. We quote fair Upland 7 I to 8, and Alabama and New Orleans fair 81 to 9 cents. FLOUR AND GRAIN.—The market for flour this week has been steady throughout, with sales to some amount of Ge nessee at 4 dollars 25 cents for common brands, and some better brands at 64 cents higher. The receipts are not large for the season, and there is not a great deal going in store. Ohio and Michigan sells freely at 4 dollars 181 cents to 4 dollars 25 cents. Ohio in round hoops is scarce, and com mands 4 dollars 25 cents to 4 dollars 311 cents, according to quality. In Southern we hear of no transactions of impor tance. Georgetown we quote at 4 dollars 50 cents to 4 dol lars 561 cents. Sales of rye flour during the week at 3 dol lars to 3 dollars 25 cents. MONEY AND EXCHANGES.—The very large shipments of coin to New Orleans, and an increased demand here, has made money somewhat more in request. The loans of the Bank on demand have a good many of them been called in. The amount of specie in the Banks is very large, and but little diminished. It was, on the Ist of Sept. 6,651,000 dol lars ; on the 31st of October 6,273,000 dollars. Philadelphia has fallen in debt to us, so that some 100,000 dollars have been transferred from that city to this within ten days. The, Banks now have offered them about as much paper as they want. Bills on England, 6 per cent. prem. ; France, 5,45 dollars. THE INSURRECTION IN BARCELONA. The private accounts from Barcelona are dated the 19th inst. The fort of Montjuich had ceased to fire upon the city .'r'e the morning of the 18th. A number of soldiers and officers, taken prisoners by the insurgents, and who were de aci wed as having joined the movement, had been permitted to quit Barcelona. Many of them had already reached San Feliz, where General Ean Haien had collected a force of nearly 10,000 men. The garrison of Barcelona bad consisted of 12 battalions of 700 or 800 men each, and 600 cavalry. The latter had been quartered at Barlellonetta, where they became an easy conquest to the National Guards, having been left without orders from the military authorities. The ar tillery had been likewise captured without any resistance from a similar cause. The losses on the side of the troops are estimated at between 400 and 500 men, with several general officers, whose names, however, are not mentioned. Letters from Girona of the 19th state that the movement had not extended beyond the walls of Barcelona, and that the rest of Catalonia was tranquil. The report of the rising of Lerida and Solsona was unfounded. General Aristizabal had joined General Van Halen with 1,500 men. A number of commercial letters from Barcelona, dated the 18th, reached Paris on Tnursday, the writers of which de clared themselves at a loss to account for the cause of the insurrection. Some ascribed it to the discontent occasioned by the contemplated reduction of the Spanish tariff: others to the enforcement of the law relative to military recruit ment ; and others to a plan for depriving General Espartero of the regency, and appointing in his stead the.lnfante Don Francisco de Paula. The insurgents appear, in fact, to have had no definite object, nor chiefs of any note; "and if," say our Paris letters, "we are to judge from the joy mani fested by the Christino refugees in Paris at the news of the outbreak, from their disappointment at the turn which affairs had taken, and the resolution of Espartero to proceed at once to the theatre of the disturbances, it would warrant the belief that they were fomented by a party which has been long seeking to creat disorders, at any price, in the capital of Catalonia." Advices have been received from Madrid to the 20th in stant. The Cortes opened the business of the session on the 15th, by the election of its chief officers ; a president, four vice-presidents, and four secretaries : all were elected by the opposition. The ministerial candidate for the presidency was S. Acunha ; the successful candidate was S. Olozaga. The result forced upon the regent the alternative of a disso lution of the Cortes or a change of ministry; and he adopted the latter. S. Olozaga himself is spoken of as the head of the new cabinet. An additional office is to be created; the ministry of commerce and colonies being detached from that of marine. On the 20th, General Rodil announced to the Cortes the events in Barcelona up to the 16th, and stilted that Espartero meant to leave Madrid on the next day for Catalonia, with his escort and three battalions. The congress immediately voted an address to .the regent, promising him its support against the revolutionists. Madrid itself was tranquil. TOBACCO VERSUS WOMEN. —A curious circumstance connected with the cultivation of tobacco in Virginia i s wort h noticing. The planters, in the beginning of the 17th century, being ad bachelors, regarded themselves merely as temporary sojourners in the colony. The London Company, which was established in 1606 for the colonisation of Virginia, with a view to their steadiness, sent out a number of respect a bl e young women to supply the settlers with wives. These ladies were actually sold for 120 lbs of tobacco each, being the quantity considered equivalent to the expenses of the voyage. —Notices relative to Tobacco, by D. A. Thompson. THE THREE SOVEREIGNS. — The following anecdote has often been told by the Emperor Alexander, and is amongst the traditions of the Russian Court :—ln 1814, during the period that the allies were masters of Paris, the Czar, who resided in the hotel of M. de Talleyrand, was in the daily habit of taking a walk (in strict incognito) every morning in the gardens of the Tuileries, and thence to the Palais Royale. He one day met two other sovereigns, and the three were returning arm-in-arm to breakfast in the Rue St. Florentin, when, on their way thither, they encountered a provincial, evidently freshly imported to Paris, and who had lost his way :—" Gentlemen," said he, " can you tell me which is the Tuileries I—" Yes," replied Alexander, " follow us, we are going that way, and will show you." Thanks on the part of the countryman led them soon into conversation. A few m nutes sufficed to arrive at the Palace ; and as here their routes lay in opposite directions, they bade each other reciprocally adieu. " Parbleu !" cried all at once the pro vincial, " I should be glad to know the names of persons so amiable and complaisant as you are ?" "My name ?" said the first—" oh certainly ; you have perhaps hear" d of me, I am the Emperor Alexander !" •'A capital joke , exclaimed the gascon ; "an Emperor !—and you, addressing the second individual, " who may be ?" " I, ?" replied he ; " why probably I am not wholly unknown to you, at least by name —" lam the King of Prussia !" " Better and better," said the man ; " and you, what are you, then ?" looking at the third person. "I am the Emperor of Austria!" " Perfect, perfect," exclaimed the provincial, laughing with all his might.—" But you, monsieur," said Emperor Alexander, " surely you will also let us know whom we have bad the honour to speak to ?"—" To be sure, " I replied the man, quit ting them with an impo r ta n t s t ru t, " am the Great Mogul !" INDIA. In a Gazette Extraordinary, publishzd on Thursday night last, appear a number of despatches, amongst which are the following, which will be found highly interesting and impor tant, as giving official statements of the chief occurrences achieved by the British arms, and an abstract of which ap peared in our last : FROM MAJOR-GENERAL N OTT, COMMANDING FIELD FORCE, A.FFGHANISTAN, TO T. 11. MADDOCK, ESQ., SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, WITH THE GOVERNOR GENERAL. Head-quarters, dated camp Gonine, 31 miles S.W. of Ghuznee, 31st Aug., 1842. Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, for the informa tion of the Right Hon. the Governor-General of India, that Shumshooden, the Affghan governor of the fortress of Ghuz nee, brought nearly the whole of his army, about 12,000 men, into the vicinity of my camp yesterday, at 3 o'clock, p.m. I moved out with one-halt of my force : the enemy ad vanced in the most hold and gallant manner, each cheering as they came into position ; their left being upon a hill of some elevation, their centre and right upon a low ridge, until their flank rested upon a fort filled with men. They opened a fire of small arms, supported by two six-pounder horse artillery guns, which were admirably served. Our columns advanced upon the different points with great regularity and steadiness, and, after a short and spirited contest, completely defeated the enemy, capturing their guns, tents, ammunition, &c., and dispersing them in every direction. One hour's more daylight would have enabled me to destroy the whole of their infantry. Shumshooden fled in the direction of Ghuznee, accompa nied by about thirty horsemen. I enclose a list of killed and wounded on the 28th and 30th instant, also a return of ordnance, ammunition, &c., taken from the enemy. The behaviour of the troops, both European and native, was such as I anticipated, and afforded me complete satis faction. _ —.-... I beg leave to bring to the favourable notice of the Right Honourable the Governor-General of India the undermen tioned officers; many of them have served under my com mand for the last three years, and have been conspicuous for their zeal and gallantry in the various affairs which have occurred with the enemy during that period, and especially in the action of the 12th of January last ; and have invariably upheld the reputation of our arms and the honour of our country. Brigadier Wymer, commanding the first infantry brigade; Lieut.-Colonel M'Laren, commanding pith regiment native infantry ; Major Hibbert, commanding her Majesty's 40th regiment ; Captain Burney, commanding 38th regiment na. tire infantry ; Captains Christie and Aldane, commanding corps of Bengal irregular cavalry; Major Sotheby, corn mand'ng the artillery ; Captain Blood, commanding Bombay foot artillery; Major Sanders, Bengal engineers; Lieuts.

My best thanks are due to my staff, Captain Polwhele, deputy-assistant adjutant-general, Captain Waterfield, aide de-camp, Lieutenant Tytler, deputy quarter-master-general. Annexed is a letter from Brigadier Wymer, speaking in the highest terms of his Brigade-Major Captain T. H. Scott, of the 38th Regiment Native Infantry. 1 fully appreciate this excellent officer's merit; he has been with me in four actions: I trust I shall not be thought presumptuous in ex pressing a hope that he will receive some mark of the favour of government, by brevet or otherwise. I cannot close this despatch without expressing my admi ration of the dashing and gallant conduct, rapid movement, and correct practice of Captain Anderson's troop of Bengal horse artillery; nothing could exceed it; and I beg leave to bring this officer, and Lieutenant Turner, attached to the same troop, to the particular notice of his lordship, as offi cers who have on many occasions rendered me the most es sential service. I have, &c. (Signed) W. Norr, Major-General Commanding Field Force, Affghanistan. COPY OF A LETTER FROM MAJOR-GENERAL POLLOCK, C,.13., COMMANDING TROOPS IN AFFGHANISTAN, TO MAJOR GENERAL LUMLEY, MAJOR-GENERAL OF THE ARMY. Dated camp Kutta Sung, 9th Sept., 1842. have the honour to report, for the information of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that I left Soorkab on the morning of the Bth instant in progress to Jugdulluck, with the following troops :- Ist division under the command of Major-General Sir R. Sale, G.C.8.-2 guns 3d troop Ist Brigade H A ; 6 do. No. a.Light Field Battery ' • 3 do:Mountain Train ; her Majesty's 3d Light Dragoons; 1 squadron Ist Light Cavalry; 3 Re sullahs 3d Irregular Cavalry; her Majesty's 9th Foot; her Majesty's 13th Light Infantry ; 26th Regiment Native In fantry; 35th Regiment Light Infantry; sth Company of Sappers ; Broadtoot's Sappers ; Mackeson's Bildars. On approaching the hills which command the road through the pass, I perceived their summits were occupied by a con siderable number of men, and a nearer view enabled me to ascertain the nature of their position, which was one of sin gular strength and difficulty of approach. The enemy were assembled in bodies apparently under different chieftains, each having a distinguishing standard. The hills they occupied formed an amphitheatre inclininc , towards the left of the road on which the troops were halted, * while the guns opened, and the enemy were thus enabled on this point to fire into the column, a deep ravine preventing any contact with them. The practice of the guns was excel lent, yet the enemy appeared so determined on making a stand, that the bursting of the shells among them on the right bill, which was of a conical shape and difficult ascent, had not the effect of making them relinquish it, or of slackening their fire, which now became heavy from all parts of their position, causing several casualties. It is with the deepest feeling of regret I have to deplore the loss of Captain Nugent, officiating sub-assistant com missary-general, who was shot here, and died almost imme diately. I had lately received the most important and valu able assistance from him ; the service has lost a promising officer, and the department to which he belonged a most effi cient member. As the guns appeared to have little effect in forcing the enemy to quit the heights, I resolved upon attacking them ; for this purpose Captain Broadfoot was detached to the ex treme left of the enemy's position, and his sappers com menced ascending a steep hill, on the to of which the enemy were entrenched in a sungah. Her Majesty's 9 th Foot , under Lieut.-C o l one l Taylor, were directed Co cross a deep ravine, and assault the hills on the opposite side, where the enemy held a ruined fort, and were with their chiefs and ca valry in considerable numbers. Her Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, led by Capt. Wilkinson, commanding the regiment, attacked the hill, which may be considered the key of the position. The 9th, accompanied by two companies of the 35th Native Infantry, under Lieuts. Boileau and Trench; the 13th by 130 men of the 26th, led by Capt. Gahan (Major finish, who, although present in the field, was prevented by his wound received at Mamoo Kheil from assuming the com mand), rushed up the heights simultaneously ; and the ani mated and enthusiastic cheer they gave seemed to strike a panic into the enemy, for they dared not wait the collision, but fled down the hills, and were enabled to escape chastise ment by the nature of the ground, which was so well calcu lated to favour their retreat. At this moment, Major Lock wood, with her Majesty's 3d Light Dragoons, galloped up, and very nearly succeeded iri overtaking the enemy's cavalry, but, I am very sorry to say, they also effected their safety by flight. Captain Broadfoot had completely succeeded in the attack he made,'and the enemy were dispersed in every direction, a large body of them retiring to the summit of a high moun tain. On this apparently inaccessible height they planted their standards, and showed every demonstration of main taining it. As the achievments of the day would have been incomplete were they suffered to remain, I decided upon dislodging them. The troops advanced under cover of Captain Abbott's guni, and those of Captain Backhouse's mountain train. Seldom have soldiers had a more arduous task to perform, and never was there an u ndertaking of the kind surpassed in execution. These lofty heights were assaulted in two co lumns, led by Captains Wilkinson and Broadfoot : the dis comfited Ghilzies, not relishing an encounter, betook them selves to flight, carrying away their standards, and leaving our troops in quiet possession of their least and least assail able stronghold. It gratifies me to be .enabled to state, that we have thus signally defeated, with one division of the troops, the most powerful tribes and the most inveterate of our enemies, the original instigators and principal actors in those disturbances, a hick entailed such disasters on our troops last winter. The following are the troops who were present in the action : Uzeez Khan, Gool Mahomed Khan, and Suadat Meen Khan—Jubber Kheil Ghilzies. Khodah Busksh Khan, Azul Khan, and Kojeh Mahomed Shah Khan—Chiefs of Tezeen, Babukkur, Kheil Ghilzies. Sirdar Khyroolah Khan, Barulzie, Shah Gazee Khan, Gool Ghilzie, Hajie Ali Tajick, Ibrahim Khun, and Mullick Suddo : sent by Mahomed Akhbar Khan from Cabool, to co-operate with the Ghilzees. Ibrahim Khan and Mullick Suddo—Lugman chiefs. The petty chiefs of Hissaruck were also engaged ; and in deed the whole strength, of the Ghilzie force may be consi dered to have been brought against us, numbering on this occasion from four to five thousand men. Let me now express how much I owe to the brave officers and soldiers who have thus gallantly asserted their supe riority in arms; were I to name all who merit eulogy, I should feel obliged to enumerate every officer who was pre sent. 1 feel considerable diffidence in mentioning the name of Major-General Sir R. Sale, G.C.8., whose heroic conduct in the field stands so little in need of my commendation. On this occasion I was an eye-witness to the personal intre pidity of this highly distinguished officer, as he led up the heights in advance of his own regiment under a very hot fire. To the officers in command of regiments and detachments, and to the heads of departments, also to the officers of .my personal and the general staff, 1 feel especially indebted for the zealous and efficient manner in which they performed their respective duties ; and I trust' his excellency the commander-in-chief will bring to the notice of his lOrdship the governor-general; that every individual engaged has ex erted himself to the utmost to serve his country. I have the honour to enclose a rough sketch of the scene of operations, and a return of killed and wounded .—I have, &c. (Signed) GEORGE POLLOCK, Major-General, Commanding in Affghanistan. • OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE FIGHT AT TEZEEN. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL G. POLLOCK, C. 8., COMMANDING IN AFFGHANISTAN, TO MAJOR-GENERAL J. R. LUMLEY, ADJUTANT-GENERAL OF THE ARMY. Camp, Boottkhak, Sept. 14. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of his excellency the commander-in-chief, that I marched from Seh Baba on the 11th inst., and arrived at Tezeen the same day, where I was joined by Major-General M'Caskill, with the 2d division. On the 12th I halted, in consequence of the cattle of the 2nd division having suffered from the effects of fatigue, caused by their forced march ; this halt the enemy imagined to be the result of hesitation, and, in the afternoon, attacked the pickets on the left flank, and became so daring that I considered it necessary to send Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor, with 250 men of her Majesty's 9th Foot, to drive them back ; some sharp fighting took place, and the enemy were driven up the neighbouring hills, from the crests of which they kept up a heavy fire. Lieutenant-Colonel Tay lor, however, with a small party, crept up one end of the hill unperceived by the enemy, who were hotly engaged in their front, and lay concealed until joined by a few more of his men, when rushing up on the flank of the astounded Affghans, he inflicted a severe lesson, pouring in a destructive fire upon them as they fled down the bill. A chieftain was found among the slain, who, it is supposed, was the brother of Khoodabux Khan. The enemy remained inoffensive on our left flank, in consequence of this very well-planned and gal ant affair of Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor's, and withdrew to the right, where they commenced a furious attack upon a picket consisting of 80 men of the 60th Regiment of Native Infantry, commanded by Lieutenant Montgomery, who sus tained the assault with great resolution, until reinforcements reached him, when the enemy were beaten off; in this attack the picket had four killed, Lieutenant Montgomery and 17 men wounded : the enemy came so close that frequent re course was had to the bayonet. The attempts on the pickets continued throughout the night, but were invariably un successful. The valley of Tezeen, where we were encamped, is com pletely encircled by lofty hills : and on the morning of the 13th it was perceived that the Affghans had occupied in great force every height not already crowntd by our troops. I commenced my march towards the month of the Tezeen pass, where I left two guns, two squadrons of her Majesty's 3d Dragoons, a party of the Ist Light Cavalry and 3d Irre gular Cavalry. The enemy's horse appeared in the ialley,. l with the intention of falling upon the baggage; but it gises me very great pleasure to state, that the dragoons and native cavalry (regular and irregular) made a most brilliant charge. and with such effect that the whola body of the enemy's force was completely routed, and a number of them cut up. The pass of Tezeen affords great advantages to an enemy occupying the heights; and, on the present occasion, Ma homed Akhbar neglected nothing to render its natural diffi culties as formidable as numbers could make it. Our troops' mounted the heights, and the Affghans, contrary to their ge neral custom, advanced to meet them, and a desperate struggle ensued : indeed, their defence was so obstinate, that the British bayonet in many instances alone decided the contest. The light company of her Majesty's 9th Foot, led by Captain Lushington, who, I regret to say, was wounded in the head, ascending the hills on the left of the pass, under a heavy cross-fire, charged and overthrew their opponents, leaving several horses and their riders, supposed to be chiefs, dead on the hill ; the slaughter was considerable, and the fight continued during the greater part of the day, the enemy appearing resolved that we should not ascend the Huft Kotul; one spirit seemed to pervade all, and a deter mination to conquer overcame the obstinate resistance of the enemy, who were at length forced from their numerous and strong positions; and our troops mounted the Huft Kotul, giving three cheers when they reached the summit. Here Lieut. Cunningham, with a party of Sappers, pressed the enemy so hard, that they left in their precipitation a 24-pounder howitzer and limber, carrying off the draught bullocks. Having heard that another gun had been seen, and concluding that it could not have gone very far, I de tached a squadron of dragoons, under Captain Tritton, and two horse-artillery guns, under Major Delafosse, in pursuit. The gun (a 12-pounder howitzer) with bullocks sufficient for the two guns was soon captured. The dragoons again got among the enemy, and succeeded in cutting up many of them. Captain Broadfoot with the Sappers advanced, and with the dragoons happened to fall in with another party of the enemy, of whom upwards of 20 were killed. I have ascertained there was about 16,000 men in the field opposed to me, a considerable portion of whom was cavalry. Mahorned Akhhar Khan, Mahomed Schah Khan, Ameen Oollah, and many other chiefs with their followers, were present, all of whom, I have reason to believe, have taken to flight. We have gained a complete victory, and our enemies have suffered severely, having several hundreds killed, losing their guns and three standards, one of which was taken from the enemy's horse by the Ist Light Cavalry. Although many attempts were made at the baggage, none were successful, chiefly owing to the judicious and admirable arrangements of Lieut.-Col. Richmond, commanding the rear-guard. and for which he deserves the greatest credit. The Lahore contingent, under the able direction of Capt. Lawrence, has invariably given the most cheerful assistance, dragging the guns, occupying the heights, and covering the rear-guard. While ascending Huft-Kotul and at Tezeen, their long jezails told effectively in keeping the ground. Major Skinner, her Majesty's 31st Foot had been detached with a strong party on the night of the 12th, for the purpose of dislodging a body of the enemy on the heights in front of the camp : this duty was performed with great gallantry the next morning, and his operations contributed much to frus trate the attempts of the enemy on our right flank. The enemy being completely dispersed, we pursued our march, and encamped at Khoord Cabul without further op position. The troops on this, as on all former occasions where they have been engaged with the enemy, showed the most determined valour, and I feel that I cannot too highly praise their conduct ; each regiment seemed to vie with the others in their endeavours to dislodge the enemy, which they most effectually accomplished. [Here follow the names of the officers specially mentioned.] I must not omit the ex pression of my regret for the fate of Hyder Ali, the native commandant of the Jezailchees, a most gallant and enter prising soldier, who was killed while attempting to seize one of the enemy's standards. I have the honour to forward reports from Lieut.-Colonels Richmond and Taylor, and Major Skinner, with returns of killed and wounded ; and of ordnance, ammunition, and stores captured.—l have, &c. G. PoLLocx, Major-General. COPY OF A LETTER FROM LIEUT.-COL. TAYLOR, COMMAND ' ING HER MAJESTY'S 9TH REGIMENT OF FOOT, TO CAPT. PONSONBY, ASSISTANT ADJUTANT GENERAL. Camp, Khoord Cabool. Sept. 13. Sir,—l have to report, for the information of Major-Gene ral Pollock, C. 8., commanding the troops in Affghanistan, that agreeably to his orders, I proceeded at half-past five o'clock yesterday evening, with 250 men of her Majesty's 9th, to the support of the guards in charge of the public cat tle, feeding on the left of the camp, in the Tezeen valley, which were much pressed by the enemy. On clearing the left picket, I was joined by Major Huish, with a small party of the 26th Native Infantry. I threw forward a strong body of skirmisbers, who quickly drove back those of the enemy on the plain, pursuing them to a range of low hills, where they made a stand, till dislodged by our advance ; further on I found the enemy, in force from 500 to 600, had taken post along the crest, and on the top of a range of steep hills, run ning near a mile from the northward into the Tezeen valley ; those towards the north were assailed by Captain Lushington, her Majesty's 9th foot, with the left support and skirmishers, whilst I directed the attack against their front and left flank, which being turned, I ascended the heights between two ridges which concealed my approach till close to the summit and within 20 yards of their main body, consisting of over 300 men. Collecting 30 to 40 men, with Lieutenants Elm herst, Lister, and Vigors, I ordered bayonets to be fixed, and the enemy to be charged, which was done with such reso lution and effect, that the whole mass taken with surprise, was pushed head-long down the hills, nor did they rally till out of musket-shot. Their loss must have been very severe, as I observed numbers lagging behind to carry off their killed and wounded. As it was getting dark, I deemed it imprudent to pursue the enemy further, ordered the halt to be sounded, and, after remaining in possession of tbeir position for half an hour, retired without molestation. It affords me great gratification to bear testimony to the s, '..". , nd gallantry displayed by officers and men ou this a, especially Major Huish, 26th regiment Native Infantry ; Capt. Lushing ton, and those concerned in the charge of the enemy. I beg to transmit a return of the killed and wounded.—l have, &c. A. B. TAYLOR, Lieut.-Colonel, 9th Foot. COPY OF A LETTER FROM MAJOR SKINNER, HER MAJES TY'S 31ST FOOT, TO CAPTAIN PONSONBY, ASSISTANT AD JUTANT GENERAL. Bootkhak, Sept. 14. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information of the major-general commanding the army in Afghanistan, that I ascended the heights above the Tezeen valley, in front of our camp, with the following detachment :—One company of her majesty's 9th foot, one company of her majesty's 13th light infantry, one company of her majesty's 31st foot, one company of her majesty's 26th native infantry, one company of her majesty's 35th native light infantry, one company of her majesty's 33d native infantry, 50 broadfoot sappers, and 50 jezailchees—on the afternoon of the 12th instant, and occupied the ridge till daylight next morning. From a com munication with Major-Gen. Sir R. Sale, G.C.B. 1 learned that I was to take the high peaks to the right of my position, and, having driven the enemy from them, continue to operate among the lower hills to the head of the Huft Kotul, on the right flank of the advanced guard of the army. These peaks were occupied in some force by the enemy, who was, how ever, easily driven from them, and cleared away to the higher hills on my right. I ascended the first peak, which, although the way was steep, was not very difficult, in two small co lumns ; the first the companies of her majesty's 9th and 26th Native Infantry, under Captain Borton, of the 9th Foot; the second -under Lieutenant Sayers, of the 31st, composed of the two company's of her majesty's 31st Foot and 33d Na tive Infantry, covered by the Sappers and Jezailchees under ' Lieutenant Orr. I detached Lieutenant Sinclair, of thel3th Light Infantry, with the company of his regiment and one of the 35th Native Infantry, to the higher peak on the right hand, and supported him by Lieutenant Orr and the Sap pers (after 1 bad possession of the first height,) who ascended by a steep ridge that connected them. Lieutenant Sinclair attained the summit of the hill without loss, driving the enemy away, and held it until the main column of advance came in sight, when be led his column on my right over the bills at the base of the higher mountains. The height I gained descends to the higher road by a succession of small peaks, each connected by a narrow ridge ; the enemy occupied with small parties each of these peaks, and was driven in succes sion from them. Captain Borton, at the head of a party of the 9th Foot, made a gallant charge u;,on a strongly posted party of the enemy, and drove them away ; he showed a great deal of boldness, however, and made repeated attempts to recover his ground, taking advantage of the necessarily slow advance of the supporting parties from the steep and difficult nature of the hills. After I gained all the peaks, and the enemy had fallen back, I continued parallel to the main co lumn over the hills to some distance beyond the top of the Hutt Kotul. Considering the great number that at one time opposed me, until the appearance of the main column drew them off, my loss was not great ; while the enemy safered considerably. I beg leave to bring to the notice of the Major-General the very good conduct of the officers and men who were under my command.—l have, &c., THOMAS SKINNER, Major, 31st Regiment. RESTITUTION OF MONEY STOLEN THIRTY YEARS AGO. —About thirty years ago a gentleman named Broder farmed a considerable portion of land in the King's County, in Ire land. He had several workmen engaged, and it appears that three of them agreed to embezzle the sum of £2O, which they effected without the lcnowlege of Mr. Broder, or at least without his being able to discover the persons who deprived him of it. Soon after this occurrence he came to London, and carried on successfully the trade of builder, and died about twelve years ago. His son, now engaged in the same business, and residing in Granville-place, Granville-square, received it letter from the Roman Catholic curate of Clara, in the King's County, a few days ago, stating that a poor man, who, together with two others, had robbed Mr. Broder, sen., about thirty years ago, was anxioua to restore his share. To this letter Mr. Broder replied, that he had never heard his father mention such a loss. On the 22nd instant he received another letter from the priest, enclosing the half of a £5 note, saying that the amount was all which the man, who was poor, and struggling with a grown family, could pay towards the restoration even of his share of the money ori ginally taken. The man begged the forgiveness of the son for the injustice done to the father. DEATH OF THE SON OF TIPPOO SAIB.—A letter from Paris, dated November 16, enables us to anticipate our con temporaries in recording this melancholy event :—" You are, of course, aware that the Shahzadah, Jabangeer-Zaman, Jamh O'Deen Mahomed, Prince of Mysore, had been for some few years in England, urging the East India Company to pay up the arrears of the pension granted to his family, on the death of his father, who was slain in the storming of Seringapatam, in 1796. The Prince had accomplished the object of his mission, and came to Paris, en route for India, overland. At the Tuilleries he had been most graciously and cordially received ; the King of the French extending to him all the kindness that he felt to be due to the representa tives of a race in whose fate all France was deeply interested ; and the Queen, only a few days since, presented him with two superb vases, of Sevres manufacture. His only English friend in the French capital was Mr. Mordaunt Ricketts, who for years held the high office of Political Residens at the Court of Oude. and had known the Prince intimately in India, and subsequently in London. In Paris they were constant associates. Early on the morning of Sunday last, the Prince sent to apprise Mr. Ricketts that he was indispo sed, and wished to see his (Mr. R's) physician. His kind hearted friend instantly went to him, accompanied by Dr. Donellan, and found him cold and restless. The usual medi caments were applied, and he appeared to be gradually getting better. He was ordered to take some opium and calomel in the evening, but when his attendant went to his bed side, he seemed to be in a tranquil sleep—it was the sleep of death ! and when Mr. Ricketts immediately afterwards entered, his room, be was shocked to behold the son of that once mighty potentate and illustrious warrior, Tippoo Stub, a corpse !—a Mussulman amidst Christians, who, if they gave him any burial, it would be, among Roman Catholics, the burial of a dog. Mr. Ricketts therefore resolved to secure for the re mains of the Prince the funeral rites due to his rank and faith ; and for that purpose obtained an interview with the British ambassador, Lord Cowley, who most kindly sanctioned and promoted the benevolent object he had in view. At his Lord ship's suggestion be addressed a letter to the King, Louis Philippe, and received from that enlightened Sovereign a most considerate letter of condolence. He also waited on the Turkish Ambassador, who directed 'ibis Msola, or Priest, to attend and perform the usual Mahommedan ceremonies; and on Thursday the Prince was interred in the cemetery ofPere la Chaise. Dr. Donellan is of opinion that the Princes's death was occasioned by aneurism of the heart.—Salisbury Herald. EVACUATION OF AFFGHANISTAN, GOVERNMENT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. (PUBLISHED BY AUTHORIY.) PROCLAMATION. Secret Department, Simla, the Ist October, 1812. The Government of India directed its army to pass the Indus in order to expel from Affghanistan a chief believed to be hos ii, to Bt itish interests, and to replace upon his throne a sovereign represented to be friendly to those interests, and popular with his former subjects. The chief believed to be hostile became a prisoner, and the sovereign represented to be popular was replaced upon his throne; but, after events which brought into question his fidelity to the government by which he was restored, he lost by the hands of an assassin the throne he had only held amidst insurrections, and his death was preceded and fol lowed by still existing anarchy. Disasters unparalleled in their extent, unless by the errors in which they originated, and by the treachery by which they were completed, have in one short campaign been avenged upon every scene of past misfortune; and repeated victories in the field, and the capture of the cities and citadels of Ghuznee and Cahul, have again attached the opinion of in vincibility to the British arms. The British army in possession of Affghanistan will now be withdrawn to the Sutlej. The Governor-General will leave it to the Affghans them selves to create a government amidst the anarchy which is the consequence of their crimes. To force a sovereign upon a reluctant people would be as inconsistent with the policy as it is with the principles of the British Government, tending to place the arms and resources of that people at the disposal of the first invader, and to im pose the burden of supporting a sovereign without the pros pect of benefit from his alliance. The Governor-General will willingly recognise any govern ment approved by Affghans themselves, which shall appear desirous and capable of maintaining friendly relations with neighbouring states. Content with the limits nature appears to have assigned to its empire, the Government of India will devote all its efforts to the establishment and maintenance of general peace, to the protection of the Sovereigns and Chiefs, its allies, and to the prosperity and happiness of its own faithful subjects. The rivers of the Punjaub anti the Indus, and the noun tai,pous passes and the barbarous tribes of Affghanistan, will be placed between the British army and an enemy approach ing from the west, if indeed such an enemy there can be, and no longer between the army arid its supplies. The enormous expenditure required for the support of a large force; in a false military position, at a distance from its own frontier and its resources, will no longer arrest every measure for the improvement of the country and of the peo ple. The combined army of England and of India, superior in equipment, in discipline, in valour, and in the officers by whom it is commanded, to any force which can be opposed to it in Asia, will stand in unassailable strength upon its own soil, and for ever, under the blessing of Providence, preserve the glorious empire it has won, in security and in honour. The Governor-General cannot fear the misconstruction of his motives in thus frankly announcing to surrounding states the pacific and conservative policy of his government. Affghanistan and China have seen at once the forces at his disposal, and the effect with which they can be applied. Sincerely attached to peace for the sake of the benefits it confers upon the people, the Governor-General is resolved that peace shall be observed, and will put forth the whole power of the British government to coerce the state by which it shall be infringed. By order of the Right Hon. the Governor-General of India, T. H. MADDOCK, Secretary to the Government of India with the Governor-General. Another projected railway to Oxford is announced, to form a continuation of the Aylesbury line. There is a second crop of apples in the garden belonging to Lumley Park Durham. The trees were in full bloom during harvest, and the fruit is now a good size. The Sultan is said to have the idea of fortifying Constanti nople ; and the King of Naples has determined on fortifying Syracuse. On Saturday last, a banker's case was lost in Lombard street, London, which contained bank-notes to the amount of upwards of £1,900. Thomas Cook, the superintendent of the police force at Chatham, has been committed to gaol for embezzling the sum of £7O, the funds of that borough. The Rev. Francis Goode, lecturer, of Clapham, and author of " The Better Covenant," died on the 19th inst., in his 45th year. A WONDER ! Btow ME !—At New Jersey they have an actress called the Singing Wonder, who has been known to run up the chromatic scale so fast, that the organ which ought to have accompanied her stopped for want of wind ! We understand the Derbyshire hills were on Thursday covered with snow. There were some slight showers of snow in Hull on Tuesday, but it dissolved as it fell. A great quantity of rain has since fallen.—Hull Packet. It gives us much pleasure to state, on the authority of let ters from Vienna of the 12th of this month, that the beautiful daughter of Lord and Lady Jersey, the Princess Nicholas Esterhazy, is in a situation that promises an heir to that an cient and distinguished family. The late Dr. Ireland, Dean of Westminster, bequeathed five thousand pounds to the Metropolis Church Building Fund, to be :aid out in the building or purchase of a chapel in some convenient part of Westminster, under the direction of the Bishop of London. DEATH OF FRANCES BENNETT.—This wretched woman, who was removed in the course of last week, from Ruardean, to the county gaol, charged with the horrible offence of having murdered six of her own children, died in the hospital at an early hour on Friday morning. On Saturday last, at a very full meeting of the board of guardians of the Kendal Union, the recommendation of the poor-law commissioners to separate husband and wife was unanimously resisted, and they are determined against the the principle of separation. The result is looked forward to with much interest in the district. On Monday last, a man of the name of Daniel Campbell was committed, under the coroner's warrant, at Oxford, on a charge of manslaughter, his wife (or a woman with whom he cohabited as such) having, as is alleged, conic to her death in consequence of injuries inflicted upon her by him. MARYPORT AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—This work is now rapidly progressing. The rails have already been laid from Carlisle to Cardew, about six miles. It is not now in tended to open the line to Dalston until it be finished to Wigton, which will be completed by the end of February next.—Carlisle Patriot. ANTI-MAcAssAa.—lt appears that the metropolitan po lice are to be sworn of their " Elyperion's curls." We find the following paragraph in relation to the cropping of their " hairy honours" in the Standard of Friday :—" An order has just been issued by the superintendent of L division, to the effect that all the men in future appear with their whiskers shaved clean off to the ear, and their hair cut close to the head (a la militaire)." EDINBURGH THEATRE.—The manager of this theatre has changed the time of commencing the performances, and also has lowered the prices of admission. The manager states, in his address, that he solicits the increased patronage of the public, as the only means of enabling him to continue his exertions and keep the Theatre-Royal open ; but after a month's trial, should the reduction be found a failure, the old prices will, on due notice, be resumed. WOODCOCKS.—There were killed last week, in the coverts round Skibo Castle, by Mr. Dempster himself, Mr. Hay Mackenzie, and other friends, about &l of those winter visi ters, along with roe-deer, pheasants, and other game. This is a much smaller number, however, than was killed in the corresponding week of last ye ar a t the sume place, when 67 woodcocks were bagged in three days, and when Easter Ross also produced extraordinary numbers of these birds.—lnver ness Courier. THE JOINT-STOCK MARINE ASSURANCE COMPANIES.— The Railway Magazine of Saturday last, contains the fol lowing important statement:—" With a view to protect the interests of the public, we ask if it be true that the proprie tors of the above companies, formed within these two years, are liable only to the amount of the shares they hold ? We repeat this question, so important to mercantile interests, still more err phatically. Our reasons for so doing it is un necessary here to explain. We have heard surmises, which lead us to believe that the old and admirable system of indi vidual subscriptions, so long practised at Lloyd's, must be returned to, as the only safe one for insurers." NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.—The directors of this rail way met on Wednesday last at Derby, to consider of the measures proper to be adopted in consequence of the decision come to by the shareholders at the special general meeting on the Wednesday previous. They came to the unanimous resolution to resign their offices ' • but, in order to prevent the great inconvenience that would have been created by the immediate withdrawal of all those who had been on the direc tion, and also to prevent the nomination of the new board of directors from falling into the hands of the Lord Chancellor (for which it would have done by law if the number of direc tors had been reduced below five), they resolved that six of the directors, out of the twelve, should continue in office till the half-yearly meeting in February. At the half-yearly meeting in February next the six old directors remaining on the board will retire.—Leeds Mercury. CHARGE OF FORGERY.—On Thursday last, the Rev. W. Bailey, minister of Queen-square Episcopal chapel, West minster, was placed at the bar at Bow-street police-office, charged with forging and uttering a promissory note for the sum of £2.875, with intent to defraud the executors of the late Mr. IL Smith, of Great St. Andrew -street, Seven Dials, an ironmonger of very eccentric character, who died some months since. The note was an I. 0. U. to Miss Ann Bailey. prisoner's sister, on which an action had been brought to recover the amount in the Court of Common Pleas. At the trial, the prisoner swore that he saw Smith execute the note in the vestry of his chapel at Queen-square. It ap peared, however, that the prisoner. in conversation with the undertaker who conducted Smith's funeral, said he under stood he (Smith) could not write his name; the undertaker corrected him on this point and supplied him with several of Smith's signatures. Other circumstances occurred at the time which induced the Chief Justice to order the several documents to be impounded, in order that ulterior measures might be taken against the prisoner, and a verdict was even teally returned for the defendant. The prisoner was re manded for a week. OXFORD, Nov. 22.—The Vice-Chancellor has issued the following notice :—" In a convocation to be holden on Thursday, the Ist of December, at two o'clock, it will be proposed to the house to accept the legacy, to which the following extract from the will of the late Dean of West minster relates :"—Extract from the Will of the late John Ireland, D.D., Dean of Westminster.—" And upon trust to pay or transfer the sum of £lO,OOO Three per Cent. Consolidated Annuities to the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Oxford, that they may apply the interest and dividends of the said sum as hereinafter mentioned ; that is to say, for the promotion of a scheme of education which (as I have been informed by the Dean of Christ Church, Dr. Gaisford) is now in progress in the said University, under the management of a Committee of Heads of Houses, (of which the said Dean is one,) for the more complete instruction of students, particularly such as are destined for the church. And I direct the said Chancellor, Masters. and Scholars, to appropriate the interest and divi dends of the said sum of :£lO,OOO for the benefit of a pro fessor, whose department shall be the 'Exegesis of Holy Scripture,' as is recommended by the above committee, other parts of theology being already allotted to other professors under the general scheme. And I further direct, that the said professor shall be appointed by the heads of colleges and halls, and not by a smalLr body of trustees, or the University at large. And also that the said professor shall be directed by convocation in the detail of his duties as occasion may require, and that he shall reside at Oxford six months in every year, or lose his appointment. Provided always, and in case the above-mentioned scheme of education shall at any time, either before or after my death, be abandoned, and it shall be found impossible to carry my said directions into effect, then and in that , :ase I direct the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars for the time being of the said University, to apply the interest, dividends, and annual produce of the said sum of £lO,OOO Three per Cent. Consolidated Annuities for and towards the established religion of England generally, or to the promotion of literature and science within the Uni versity, as convocation shall determine. And I hereby direct, that the receipt of the said Chancellor or his Vice- Chancellor shall be a sufficient discharge for the said sum." THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL. Under the Sole Management of Mr. TV.

" A Member of the Church of England" will find a com munication in another column on the subject of his letter; but we fancy the affair to which he alludes is not yet sufficiently ripe as to warrant such a demonstration as that suggested. 'We give this opinion, however, without being aware of what proceedings have yet taken place. Oar Zibrrpool *tanarli. TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 1842. We publish in another column a proclamation from Lord Ellenborough, which is scarcely exceeded in im portance by the victories which have been achieved by the British arms. Our troops in possession of Affghanistan will now be withdrawn within our own frontier, and the Governor-General leaves it to the Affghans themselves to create a government which, his Lordship states, he will willingly recognise if it appears desirous and capable of maintaining friendly relations with neighbouring states. We refer our readers to this important document, on which we shall, in all proba bility, have occasion to remark further. In the mean time, however, we refer with pleasure to the following extract, from the London- Times of yesterday : It is not often that we see a successful army recalled from the scene of its triumphs upon having performed simply the task for which it was destined. Men are not often content with success; and they say they cannot safely rest under de- feat. They seem to consider themselves bound by a kind of inevitable necessity—a kind of obligation of selfishness—to prosecute any just or unjust advantage, as they dare not re main under the stain of an unavenged disaster. The man who pauses in the one case is called a fool, in the other a coward. And wars of subjugation—wars to the knife—wars which can only terminate with the political existence of one or the other party—are the results. Such was the prospect with which we were threatened by the opening of hostilities is Alfghanistan ; such is the course of policy to which many thinkers and writers of the present day would unscrupu lously pledge us. We are most thankful to find that it is not and cannot again be the policy of the present Govern ment. And we fervently thank Lord Ellenborough for this determined announcement of his resolution, while establish ing and enforcing peace, to remain satisfied with the already too ample limits of the British empire, and no longer to waste in distant warfare those energies which might be em ployed to enrich and civilize at home. The prospects opened to our commerce, by the im portant events which have just taken place in China and Affghanistan, are at this moment occupying the attention of the great mass of our mercantile com munity. By many, it is possible, too sanguine hopes are entertained, of immediate as well as permanent benefits to result from them. By some, and by the Anti-Corn-law party in particular, the hope of revived prosperity from such a source, or from any, save the adoption of their own favourite nostrum, is openly scouted. The increased activity which has already taken place in almost every description of trade is, however, before our eyes. If the feeling in our cotton market be any key to the feeling in the cotton manufacturing districts, revived commerce there is, at least, ap proaching; nay, if brisk markets for cotton goods be not the most deceptive of commercial barometers, that feeling has pervaded the length and breadth of those districts. Our woollen trade, too, if the markets of Leeds, Bradford, &c., are faithful indices of its con dition, has materially improved. In fact, look where we will, there is scarcely a branch of industry which has not felt the genial effects of the settlement of our eastern entanglements, and of the concessions which, in China at least, our victorious arms have wrung from the late enemies of our country. Still, we submit, it is of vital importance that we should not allow ourselves to be misled, either by an over sanguine temper on the one hand, or by weak fears, produced by the representations of designing men, on the other. We have no wish to see acted over the commercial calamities which have attended former extensions of the limits of our com merce ; and we wish, therefore, to direct our mercantile readers to a calm and candid examination of the real circumstances in which, by our recent successes, we are at present placed. And, first, with respect to the trade with China. By the opening to that trade of four new ports, most advantageously situated for an intercourse with the heart of the ;Chinese empire, a vast prospective business is held out to us. It must be entered upon, however, with caution ; for at present we know little either of the tastes of the people, whose wants we are called upon to supply, or of their mode of making payments for our goods. Still, the very extent of their population, their reputed wealth, their rich pro duce, and other favourable circumstances, warrant us in the expectation of an extensive and profitable inter change of commodities between us, so soon as a little experience shall have guided our transactions into a proper channel. Meantime, the stimulus given to native industry by the mere experiment of an un restricted intercourse with China, will be a seasonable relief indeed to all classes of our fellow-countrymen ; and we earnestly trust that that intercourse may be cultivated by us, in the first outset, with care and prudence. In addition, however, to the new sources of traffic opened to us in China, we anticipate a material benefit from the cessation of war with that country and with Affghanistan. Of any commerce with the latter coun try—of the realization of the absurd dreams of Lord Palmerston with respect to such a commerce—we have little hope. We look for the benefit to accrue in India herself, now almost prostrated by the heavy drains which we have been making upon her resources, for the support of our armies in China and beyond the Indus. We see, by a despatch of the Governor-Gene ral, Lord Ellenborough, which will he found elsewhere, that from the latter country those armies are about to be withdrawn; we know too, by previous information respecting the policy which it is the intention of his Lordship to pursue, that his efibrts will be directed, not to the extension of our Indian frontier, but to the extension of the capabilities of that empire itself—to in ternal improvements, of its soil, its roads, its water communications, and the condition of its people. And upon the carrying out of such a policy, we build an earnest hope that India, with its vast capabilities and population, is at length about to prove that fertile store house of wealth to the British merchant, and that en during source of employment to British iudustry which, under wise legislation, it is so eminently calculated to become. Viewed in all its circumstances, then, we hail, as a great commercial boon, the pacification of our eastern empire ; and we feel satisfied that, when time has been given them to reflect—when time has been given them to feel the benefits resulting from the eastern policy of the present government,—the conviction will force itself upon our fellow -countrymen that it is not by aggressive wars abroad or agitation at home, but by the cultivation of peaceful intercourse with foreign countries, by an extension of the resources of our magnificent colonies, and by energy, perseverance, and, above all, prudence on the part of British mer chants, that the commerce and the name of England are to be restored to their once proud pre-eminence amongst mankind. A paragraph has, it is well known, been recently going the round of the papers, to the effect that the Government of Sir Robert Peel has directed the attention of the law officers of the Crown to the say ings and doings of that seditious body, the Anti-corn law League, with a view to the adoption of measures for the preservation of the peace of the country, which is endangered by its frantic proceedings. To this report the Albion of yesterday addresses himself, in his usual self-sufficient strain ; and proceeds to de monstrate, apparently to his own perfect satisfaction, that any such measures, on the part of the Govern ment, are not only unwise, but likely to be fruitless.
