UNPRECEDENTED NEWSPAPER LIBERALITY. —THE WHOLE PROFITS BEING DIVISIBLE AMONGST THE FIRST TWO THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS. HE C O U R I E R , T a London General Weekly Newspaper of Politics, Com merce, Agriculture, Law, Literature, and the Fine Arts. Anxious only for the promulgation of the great principles of good government in Church and State, to advocate which this journal is started, the Proprietors have put forth a plan by which, with the co-operation of two thousand interested parties, they trust to extend its sale throughout the B sir En~pire— Home, Colonial, and India. Their object , of the receipt of profits to themselves, but the wide-spring influence of their principles. To attain this their chi jest, the plan now sub mitted to the public has been a ed, and with every prospect of the most triumphant resul . he profits of well-conducted weekly journals are enorni s. That of the Dispatch is said to be £36,000 per annum • dof the Illustrated News, £20,0000; the former of which ofits would give £lB and the latter £lO per annum to each of the two thousand subscribers. And as THE COURIER will be conducted with talent unsurpassed by that employed on any journal in the Metropolis, it will be seen that the subscriber must gain, as he will have a first-rate weekly paper for his money, besides the bonus be will be enti tled to, which may, in course of time, reach if not surpass the profits of either of the papers named; whilst no subscriber will be bound beyond the amount of his quarterly subscription, should be feel inclined to retire. OUR MISSION. The Church,—We shall uphold the Established Protestant Episcopalian Church, but shall demand its reform in the abo lishment of pluralities and sinecures—the equalization of clerical incomes, the reform of Cathedral Institutions, and the extinction of the Ecclesiastical Court. We shall also present an uncompromising front to Popery, whether in the shape of Puseyism, Romanism. or Sham Liberalism. India and the Colonies,—We shall require that these portions of the British Dominions be recognized as integral portions of the Empire, have free commerce with us, and representatives in the House of Commons. The Excise,—We shall argue the removal of all the needless and vexatious restrictions at presentimposed, and shall heartily co-operate with the Anti-Excise Association of Scotland in their movement towards the accomplishment of this end. Politics, —Thorough independence. Measures, not men— our motto. As a general newspaper, THE COURIER will equal any in the Metropolis—containing an unrivalled summary of all the news of the week, Political, Commercial, Agricultural, Clerical, Legal, Naval, Military, Literary, Dramatic, and Sporting, and no pains will be spared to place it in the front ranks of the British Press.

Several important and most painful operations were performed on Thursday, at the Workhouse Hospital, by Dr. F. H. Brett, in the presence of the staff, and other gentlemen, when the new agent for producing insensibility was administered with entire success in the following cases : The first was the case of Elizabeth Birch, aged twenty two, affected for years with inversion of the eyelids (Eutropion), causing inflammation of the eye, by the constant irritation of the lashes against the globe. It was necessary to make a perpendicular incision at the outer angle of the lids, and to excise a portion of the skin of the upper eyelid, to introduce a suture, and par tially to evert the lid by means of a ligature passed through the margin of the lid, this last being secured on the fore head by strips of adhesive plaster. The patient was in a state of perfect insensibility the whole of the time. The second was a case of strabismus. The third a hydroeele, which after tapping, was followed by injection of the sac, with a solution of iodine. soft nature, the dfiliffig - ficeffibcrfnitotrgirtiecbriag,"ty means of a delicate needle, was selected, the fluid portion of the soft lenticular body being freely exposed to solution in the aqueous humour. The fifth case was that of dividing the tendons behind the knee-joint, (the ham-strings) in both legs of Bridget Maekle. The woman had been a cripple for three years, bent double, and bed-ridden—the legs are now straight, and are to be kept on splints for a short time. The sixth case was that of a young woman, named Elizabeth Felliwell, who had been discharged from the hospital as incurable, from recto-vaginal communication, complicated with several tumours deeply situated. The parts being freely exposed by the speculum, a clean wound was made of the former, and the morbid growths completely extirpated. No operation could well be conceived more painful than this, under ordinary circum stances, yet the, poor girl was taken to her bed, in a perfect trance, and was quite unconscious:of any part of the operation. The 7th case was precisely of a similar nature in a young woman named Ann M'Ney. She had been much debilitated, but, under remedies to improve her constitu tional powers, nourishing diet and wine, she was sufficiently restored in health to undergo the operation. The cholor form, however, happily saved her from any knowledge of the operation. She awoke complaining bitterly that she was not to undergo the operation which she had been so long promised was to relieve her from a complaint, the most distressing to which a female can be subjected, until she was assured that all was over. The eighth, and last, was a case of scrofulous disease of the knee joint, in which it was necessar y t o remove t h e limb in a girl, aged six years. This child knew nothing of what was going to be done—the chloroform kept her in utter insensibility of what was done, and she only awoke to be conscious of the absence of a limh, the seat of protracted disease, which had nearly exhausted her vital powers. Doctor Burgess administered the chloroform, merely applying it on lint to the mouth and nostrils,whilst Drs. Gee, Bride, and Mr. J. Ferguson, with their usual tact and humanity, rendered every requisite assistance. The patients, on coming, to, seemed to be excited in a manner not dissimilar from the effects of an overdose of champagne. TIIEATRE ROYAL, WILLIAMSOI4-SCLITARE. — The per formances of this establishment during the week have been of a more than equally interesting character, introducing to us, in addition to the well known vocal talent of Miss Rainforth and Mr. Stretton, one of the most accomplished singers of his day, Mr. Travers. We had frequent occa sions of speaking of this young gentleman, when, four or five years ago, he was a member of the regular Liverpool Company. At that time he was full of promise; and since his return from the Continent, where he has been studying, that promise has been more than fulfilled. He possesses a splendid voice, full and perfectly trained ; and his manner as an actor is graceful and correct. There is more than the mere singer in his performance. The soul appears to be thrown into every note which he ut ters ; and his fine appreciation of the spirit of the com poser is evident throughout. Mr. Travers (we wish he had adhered to his family name of Romer) has a success ful career before him ; and we can only express our won der that, as a townsman, he has not drawn more crowded houses ; doubtless, he would have done had his great 'merits been better known. . . ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—The important improvements at this theatre having been completed,—the first appear ance, in England, of the Royal French Equestrian com pany, from the Champs Elysees, Paris, made their dead on Saturday evening. The company consists of nearly one hundred performers, with a band of thirty-three musicians. The horses are innumerable, and all fine animals, admirably trained. The dresses of the company are gorgeous and varied, and the trappings of the horses, properties, and other appurtenances and decorations cor respondingly magnificent. The activity, skill, and grace displayed by the whole troupe in many of the principal cities of Europe and America, in equestrian and other entertainments of a novel and striking - character, has won them golden opinions, and from what we have seen of them here, we doubt not but they will add to their former laurels, and their merited gains. The audiences who have yet seen them in our town have evinced their unbounded approbation, and acknowledge that they have redeemed equestrian and other attendant performances from the vulgarity which has hitherto more or less characterised them, and imbued them with a taste and propriety truly chaste and classical. The voltigeurs are excellent in their line, the best, indeed, we have seen. The Indian ball by AI. Felix is most extraordinary. The Leap of Streamers by M. Caroline Ducos is surprising. This young lady, who has great personal charms, exhibits wonderful powers as a rider—outstripping all former competitors in the art, and may be called the prima donna of female , equestrians throughout the world. The comic act of "the incredible," by. M. Aurial, must be seen to be credited. Amongst the other crack performers, we have but room to name the Messrs. Loisett, A. Nieff, also the extraordinary dwarf Hidalgo, little Marie Anato,•a perfect sylphe, and young Auriol. All who delight in splendid spectacles and extra ordinary feats of skill and agility in horsemanship should lose no time in visiting tie Amphitheatre. EXPORTS FROM THE PORT OF NEW YORK. LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. ARRIVAL OF --THE CALEDONIA. LATEST FROM AMERICA. The royal mail steam ship Caledonia, Capt. E. G. Lott, came up the river last night a little before eight o'clock. She left Boston on the 16th inst., and Halifax at noon of the 18th inst. She has brought £156,000 in specie, and thirty-four passenzers. She has made a most splendid passage, especially, as we perceive from the log that she has experienced rather squally weather. The passage from Halifax has been made in about ten days and a half. We subjoin a list of passengers. The latest dates from Vera Cruz were to the Ist No vember. General Paterson was to leave Vera Cruz on that day, and the whole number of persons constituting the train and escort amount to 5000. A large force was reported to be near Cerro Gordo, intending to attack Ge neral Paterson's party. The steamer Fanny, which left Brazos on the 2nd in stant, says, that a party of fifteen troops, under Lieut. Watson, escorting the mail, were attacked at Ramos by a large Mexican force. All the mail was lost, except one official letter. A serjeant, a private, the mail driver, and a Mexican were killed. The health of the Matamoras was improving. The captain of a Spanish vessel was mur dered on the road from Matamoras to Brazos. Santa Anna's farewell address to his troops has been published, and General Rincon had been appointed to the command of the army. The average Whig majority in New York was about 35,000. The Whigs generally seem to be in a large ma jority in the elections. Their general motto is, " Peace, and no more slave territory." Every thing was quiet at Mexico, but the leperos and others of the lower class were suffering much in conse quence of the exorbitant prices demanded for provisions. It is said that a quorum of the Mexican .Congress had assembled at Queretaro, and that a majority had decided in favour of an amicable adjustment of the difficulties between the two governments. There appears to be but little doubt that the Americans have take possession of the city of Orizaba, and it is alto gether probable that the force was not over a hundred strong. Orizaba contains a population of near sixteen thousand inhabitants ; yet they surrendered their city, notwith standing the meagre strength of the force demanding it. W. C. Toby, the famous " John of York," of the Phi ladelphia papers, a practical printer, and one of the most piquant writers of the country, has published a paper in I the city of Mexico, called the North American : it is a beautiful sheet, says the Delta. A sanguinary engagement took place in the streets of Huamantla between the force of Captain Walker, con sisting of 250 men, and a body of Mexicans, numbering 1600. The latter were routed, and Captain Walker was killed. The Mexicans are said to have lost 200 men. The Americans then evacuated the place and pushed on to Puebla. _ _ The large city of Atlexco has been taken by 1000 Ame ricans, no resistance being offered. Mexico is said now to be like an American town; the hotels, theatres, &c., being advertised in true Yankee style. The demand at New York for exchange for the Cale donia was much better that was anticipated. Ten per cent. premium had been obtained for sterling bills of un questionable character, and considerable shipments of specie had been made in preference to remitting bills of any kind. It was expected that the steamer Washington would bring here as much specie as the Caledonia. The ruling rates at the close on the 15th were, for bills on London 91 to 10 per cent. premium ; on Paris sf. 231 c. to sf. 20c. Pennsylvania was expected to pay punctually its divi dends due in February. The French steamer New York, which left Havre on the 25th ult., arrived at New York on the 14th instant, having put into Newport for coals. The English ship Royal Saxon, from Londonderry, was seized by the Sheriff at Philadelphia, on the 10th instant, attached by a house in New Orleans, for 20,000 dollars, in consequence of the recent failure f the owners in En gland, and notes protested. A speech of Mr. Clay. at Lexington, condemning the war against Mexico, had caused considerable excitement, and commanded the admiration of all who disapproved - of it. He suggested the impeachment of the President Polk, if he refused on the meeting of Congress to nego tiate for a.peace. Mr. Clay said. "he was entirely op posed to the annexation of Mexican territory. One half of our own territory still remained unoccupied. Millions of acres of land are still in the market. We do not want more, although some desire that our limits should be ex tended from the Atlantic to the Pacific seas. If Con gress should pass resolutions, declaring that peace should be concluded upon certain terms, fixing the boundaries of Texas at what they consider proper lines, he did not be lieve the President would refuse to accede to their wishes He was himself already, half tired of the war, and would doubtless be glad enough to adopt any plan by which peace might be restored. Mr. Clay declared himself strongly opposed to the extension of slavery. He deplored its existence, but remarked that, in some form or other, it was universal. He considered the refusal to accept new territory as the best means of averting the difficulties that surround this important but delicate subject." On the 6th November, an accident occurred on the Worcester railroad, by which six persons were killed on the spot, and a great number severely injured. IcE.—The amount of ice exported from Boston during the last five months, is stated at nearly 19,000 tons. About the same quantity was exported hence during the corresponding season last year. The Republic of Liberia now takes its place among the independent nations of the earth. The constitution has been received at Washington, as adopted by its Conven tion. under the command orealit:liOsken, driiVed at !lava -mid from New York on the 27th ult., in a passage of seven days. From Canada, we learn that the advices by the Cale donia and Washington had thrown a gloom over com mercial affairs. The deaths of emigrants continued to be frigh ful. Of 475 emigrants by the Lord Ashburton, for Quebec, 107 died on the passage. The mortality has been that of au army : on the passage, 3,900 ; at Grosse isle, 3,452 ; in ships at quarantine, 1,282 ; at the Marine Hospital, Quebec, 1,000 ; making 9,634 ; and this fearful account does not include the deaths at the sheds and hos pital in Montreal, Kingston, Toronto, Bytown, and Ha milton ; or those which have occurred unnoticed and un known, by the way side, and in the small taverns of the country parts. In Montreal, the average number of sick in the hospital, during the week ending November 6th, has been 702 ; and the deaths 66. NEW YORK COTTON MARKET, NOV. 15T11.—On the evening of the 9th instant the steamer Washington arrived with Liverpool dates to the twenty-fourth instant, casting, if possible, a deeper gloom over our market, with the faint ray discovered by a few, that the worst is over, and that the next news will be more cheering for the consump tion of our staple, in which opinion, however, the anxious holders of it cannot participate sufficiently to withhold their stocks from market, which has been abundantly sup plied. On the news per Caledonia, prices fell off a full half cent., and since the Washington's advices, three eighths have been readily conceded, making the whole decline just one per cent. per lb., to which we have altered our quotations. and at which the market appears steady. The sales have steadily averaged about 1,000 bales daily, about one-half of which was taken by our own manufac turers, and the remainder by continental shippers, Liver pool buyers being entirely out of market, mainly now, in consequence of the great difficulty experien ce d i n nego tiating their bills. some few parcels are going forward from first hands, but not to any large extent. So far we have no accounts of a killing frost at the south, and the weather has been of the most favourable character, for maturing and picking—this has greatly aided the fall in prices here, as it has ena'aled the plant to recover the three weeks lost in the spring. The quality of the receipts now coming to hand from the south-west is better than those of the last season. Estimates of the crop are freely ventured on here, and it is generally conceded that more than an average one may now be reasonably looked for ; but as yet the season has not been sufficiently extended to warrant the hope of a large one. The movements in this staple in this country, this season, compared with the previous two, have been as annexed : MOVEMENTS OF COTTON IN THE UNITED STATES. Bales. Receipts at ports of the U.

The Journal des De bats announces, in a postscript, that the city of Lucerne had fallen, on the morning of the 24th, into the power of the Federal army. The accounts vary. According to one report, the town had been carried by assault with the bayonet. According to another state ment, General Dufour had refused to grant a capitulation. One fact at least appears certain—that Lucerne was obsti nate before it fell. The Swiss Messenger, of the 24th instant, announces that the troops of the Sonderbund haring been beaten ore the preceding day had dispersed. Those of the primitive cantons had returned home. In the afternoon a depu tation from Lucerne arrived at General Dufour's head quarters at Sins, and demanded to capitulate. General Dufour replied that it was too late, and demanded an unconditional surrender. This was agreed to and on the following morning the Federal troops occupied Lucerne. The details of the campaign of the Federal army, pre vious to the fall of Lucerne, published in the Journal des Dtrbats, state that on the 22d instant the Federal army, consisting of 60,000 men and 150 cannon, marched against Lucerne, from which it was distant only fire or six leagues. The Sonderbund, being compelled to divide its forces to oppose the at-,n of Tessino, in the canton of that name, aided by the Grisons,—the Vaudois who menace the Valais,—the men of Zurich on their right, in the can ton of Zug, and on the frontiers of Schwytz, had but 15,000 men left to oppose that formidable army. At the close of the evening of the 22d the Federal army had forced the first line of defence, and every division arrived before Lucerne. According to the Tagblatt; of Basle, of the 23d, the division of General Gmur had, after an obstinate battle of three hours, carried the position of Gislikon, on the frontier of Argau, at two leagues from Lucerne, and passed the Reuss on a bridge of boats which it had thrown over the river. The positions of Roth and of Dieriken, situate on the high road which leads from Gislikon to Lucerne, had been likewise carried after a desperate resistance. These two villages and a third, called Honau, were burnt by the fire of the Federal artillery. Gen. Gmur had moreover detached considerable forces by the road which runs along the lake and leads from Kusnacht to Lucerne. After a determined battle this detachment advanced to Meggen and llabsburgh, at a league from Lu cerne. It is added that Ziegler's division had likewise passed the Reuss and advanced on Lucerne by the direct road to Roth. Burkhardt's division likewise met serious opposition on the road to Sursee, and Oehsenbein's divi sion, after having been beaten at Escholzmatt, had entered the valleyof the Em me, and was again beaten at Schupfheim , and driven to the right. The different battles fought dur ing the 22nd and 23rd instant present a similar character. After an obstinate resistance, the number and superiority of the Federal artillery had everywhere prevailed against the troops of the Sonderbund. No account had been re ceived of the number of the victims sacrificed in this la mentable war, hut it must have been great, as the Federals were repulsed twice at Gislikon, and it was only at the third attack that they succeeded in capturing the town. — In the Convent of Muri there are 80 wounded and 20 killed of the Federal force. A Lisbon letter of the 15th, addressed to the Espagnol of Madrid, states that the ministerial crisis has terminated, and that the ministers who had offered their resignations would continue in office until the meeting of the Cortes. Private letters from Rome, of the 18th instant, hold out a hope that the affair of Ferrara would be amicably and speedily adjusted. The ultimatum of the Pontifical government had been forwarded a few days before to Milan, to Count Fiquelmont, who is now solely charged with the negociation. From what had transpired, it would appear that Austria had consented to withdraw her troops from the town, merely retaining possession of the road to tLe Po. Lord Minto had two long interviews with the Pope— the one on the 11th, and the second in the evening of the: 12th. The affairs of Ireland were said to have been the principal topics discussed between them. The celebrated popular leader, Cicerrauacchi, had paid his lordship a . long visit. The Jewish residents of Rome had presented' to the Pope, as an acknowledgement of their gratitude for the blessings he had conferred upon them, a copy of the bible splendidly bound and illuminated, which had cost upwards of 1000 scudi. EXTRAORDINARY MIIRDRA.—The Madrid correspon dent of the Times gives the following particulars of an Or trlLVoll,lTriScitma^.....rult;444.a igkon..l ad:. b .t.l...man.c. maid, in the palace of Queen Christina, was the subject of every conversation. The unhappy woman was attached to the service of her Majesty's chaplain, who, although absent from the palace at the moment the crime was per petrated, was nevertheless arrested. Nothing of a clear or positive nature has been as yet discovered. The autho rities of Valentia, of which city she was a native, have been written to, as to whether she had a lover during her residence there ; and, if so, whether he has absented him self lately from that place. The chaplain of Maria Chris tina is under arrest, but the evidence of the medical men • would go far to exculpate him. It is to the effect that when the door of the room in which the body lay was forced open, not more than three-quarters of an hour could have elapsed since the murder ; and it was shown, on the evidence of the porters, that the chaplain had been absent at least five hours. The murderer, whoever he may be, appears to have done his bloody work per fectly at his ease. He not only washed his hands in the washing basin, but had the courage to wipe them on the cambric apron worn by his victim, and then dry them thoroughly in the towel. The marks of his fingers are plainly discernible on the apron. This was not all ; he perfumed them, to take away the stains of blood, with eau-de-Cologne. a bottle of which was on the table. There is an additional feature of a most horrible kind respecting the time when the other crime was committed. Every circumstance connected with this tragedy is most shocking. As the body of the victim was being conveyed on a stretcher to the hospital, one of the bearers stumbled, and the body, all gory, fell on the pavement. The gash in the throat of the unhappy woman was so deep that her head was nearly severed from the neck. She was a re markably fine woman and her age was less by three or four years than what I before mentioned. It seems she was only in her 25th year. Looking at all the circum stances of the case, there is something which one cannot well understand. The papers seem almost afraid to dwell on the subject. I again refrain from alluding to the many stories the murder has given rise to." ASSAULT ON A POLICE-OFFICER.---Yesterday a' man,* named John Moyner, was 'fined £5, or to be imprisoned.: for two months, for violently assaulting police-officer No. 575. SATURDAY EVENING CONCERTS.—We give elsewhere, in a notice of Miss Whitnall's concert, an account of the successful debut of Mr. Chas. Romer. Last night th a same young gentleman appeared at the Concert-hall,, Lord Nelson-street, and fully justified 'the praise which we awarded him. His voice is a very fine one; and, if he can get rid of a little stiffness of deportment, he will take a very high rank in his profession. CHARGE OF ASSAULT ON POLICE-OFFICERS.—Two young men, Jones and Eccles, were yesterday charged , . before Mr. Rushton, with having assaulted several police officers, and Jones was charged with endeavouring tcs rescue Eccles. It appeared that the prisoners had not behaved well, but that, after they were in safe custody, officer No. 540 had severely struck Jones on the head with his staff, in the yard of Jordan-street Bridewell. Eccles was fined 20s. ; Jones was discharged, having been so severely struck ; and the officer was suspended. SMUGGLING TOBACCO.—A man, named Francis Lam ville, steward of the ship Gipsey Queen, was yesterday charged, before Mr. Rushton, with having had in his pos- . session, concealed in a trunk with a false bottom and in a clothes-bag, about -albs. of foreign-manufactured tobacco. He was remanded until Thursday, by which time instructions will be received from head quarters in London how he is to be dealt with.—Another man, named Wm. M`Kenzie, who was coming on shore from the ship Virginian, in the King's Dock, and was observed to be so bulky that he was searched, and 12 lbs. of leaf tobacco- found upon his person, was similarly remanded.
