FOREIGN 4- COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA The fine steam-ship Acadia arrived at this port on Sun day' morning, about one o'clock, amid a heavy gale from the westward. The Acadia has made a fine run across the Atlantic, as usual, though she has had to contend with strong gales and heavy seas. Her lowest rate of steaming, per diem, was 207 miles ; the highest, 256. For the first day or two alter her departure from Halifax she had fine weather, but on the 21st instant she was aursited by a tremendous gale from the west. After another short in terval of fine weather she, on the 26th, encountered a succession of heavy squalls. On the two following days she had to contend against a furious gale of wind with a heavy swell, in which she behaved nobly. She left Bos ton on the 16th and Halifax, where she was detained three hours, on the 18th instant, thus making the passage in little more than twelve days. She brings twenty-six passengers, of whom the following is a list : .—The Hon. J. L. Starr, Mr. oson, the Hon. W. Young and Mr. J. I'. Twining, Rev. Mr. Halliburton, Mr. John From Boston to Halifo James Simpson, Miss Si( servant, Mr. H. H. Godit Charles Crossman and lady, Murray.-11. From Boston to Liverpool.—Mr. C. A. Hamilton, Mr. A.

Roache, Mr. James LL Dillon, Mr. James Robinson, Mr. James Burgess, Mr. T. A. Winslow, Mr. F. A. Todd, Mr. G. B. Van Buren, Mr. J. D. Boyce.-19. From Halifax to Liverpool.—Lieut. Colonel Slade, Mr. Outram, Mr. James, Lord Melgund, the Hon. Geo. Elliot, Mr. J. C. Stevenson. (Lord Melgund's servant.) —7. Total, 37. The st team-ship Acadia arrived out at Halifax on the , and the Great Western at New York on the 7th instant The steam-ship Hibernia arrived at Halifax shortly after one o'clock on the afternoon of the 16th instant, having performed the passage in 111 days. The operations in exchange, per this packet, were limited, and some decline in rates took place. This had a corresponding effect on specie, and there was but little inquiry for any description for investm nt. No silver bad been shipped to England, and that taken to France would not far exceed 800,000 dollars. The premium on silver had, therefore, declined considerably. The follow ing are the quotations of exchange :—London, 1084 to 109; Paris, 5.261; and Amsterdam, 391. The Stock mar- ket was firm in all good stock. - The operations in corn had been extensive. They were, however, exclusively confined to the demand for domestic consemption. We quote for Genesee 4.50 dollars; Mi chigan and Ohio, flat hoop, 4.431 to 4.50 dollars; Ohio, round hoop, 4.56 dollars; Troy, 4.45 t) 4.50 dollars. Rye 2.871 dollars. Corn Meal, northern, 2.75 to 2,81.-1 . The operations in grain are more extensive than n flour. Wheat was active, and the sales for the past week bad been quite large at 94 to 95 cents for new Western, which is the principal description offered. Corn sk. We quote for North River, at 53 to 54 and measure ; Southern, 50 to 51 cents, easure. Oats are held at 25 to 26A cents. flour, dollars weight and m Rye; 65 cent The inquiry for ashes was moderate. Pots had been steady at 4.50, and Pearls were selling, in small parcels, The state of the cotton trade we give below. The mails received on the 14th instant in New York had brought accounts of " frost" at Charleston. There is a great didereace, however, in the " first frost." The one in question was a white frost, the operation of which was to open the bolls ; throw the cotton out to the sun ; and thereby bring it to maturity earlier. It is a hard or " black frost" which stops the developement of the cotton and stains it. This had not yet occurred. The religious world was much engaged in discussing Puseyism. At the late Convention of the clergy and laity of the diocese of New York, the bishop had a decided majority in his favour, and subsequently upwards of sixty of the clergy waited on him at his house, and knelt to receive his blessing. A majority of the American bishops are, however, opposed to any attempt to " unprotestan tise" the Episcopal Church. The loss of the Missouri had been deeply felt. It is proposed to send out her consort, the Mississippi, to the Mediterranean. The Park Theatre was crowded to see Macready. He retained all his popularity, and was making a great deal as much, it was thought, as £4OO a•week, for four nig The Legislative Council of Canada, in reply to a mes sage from the Governor-General, had decided in favour of Montreal as the seat of the colonial government. The south of Peru was still disturbed. The exiled general, Santa Cruz, had retired from Ecuador, where he resided, to New Granada, that his presence might not injure the treaty in contemplation between Bolivia and Ecuador.

THE SULPHUR QUESTION.—The National annaunces that the Sicilian sulphur question is terminated. The in demnity to the British merchants has been fixed by a special commission at 130,000 Neapolitan ducats. Ihe merchants demanded that this sum, which it was expected would not be paid for several years, should bear an inte rest at six per cent. The Neapolitan government then determined to pay in cash. A BULL Ft :HT FOR PIOUS Uses.—The Queen of Spain and her sister were present, on the 13th, at a bull fight, given for the object of procuring friends to build a church at Chamberi, near Madrid. The sport was magnificent. Eight bulls were killed, and twelve horses remained on the ground gored and disembowelled. The performanceOlasted three hours, and produced upwards of £l,OOO. Four thousand Austrians commanded by Count Ra detsky have, it is stated, entered the Papal territories to reduce the spirit of republican insurrection which lately manifested itself at Bologna and elsewhere. This inter vention is said to be the result of a j,,int determination of the Austrian and Peidmontese governments; hut our contemporary through whose columns these announce ments were made, does not inform the public on two very material points--viz., whether this intervention has been solicited by the Papal Cabinet, and whether France has been consulted thereon PASSAGE FROM INDIA DURING THE S.W.

The Trent steamer, with the West India mail, bringing advices from Jamaica to the 23d of September, and from the other islands to corresponding dates, has arrived, but the news so received is not of prominent interest. It ap pears that the weather had been seasonable for the crops, and that the plantations gave promise of a good harvest. The Jamaica and Planters' Banks had held their half yearly meetings, the former declaring a dividend of 41per cent., and the latter a dividend of 5 per cent. The Ja ' maica Bank had suffered losses to the extent of £B,OOO, during the last six months, and the reserve fund was therefore, to a certain extent, trenched upon to maintain ' the usual rate payable to the proprietors. The late fire at Kingston still occupied the attention of the colonists, and preparations were on foot for rebuilding the destroyed portion of the city on a more convenient plan. Liberal contributions continued to be received in aid of the suffer ers; and on the meeting of the House of Assembly, shortly to take place, a vote of the public funds was ex pected to be one of the first measures discussed. At Trinidad, Demerara, and Barbadoes, political matters were not engaging much notice, and affairs in general ap peared to be moving in a quiet and peaceably way. AN EXPENSIVE CANE.—The Duchess de Montijo, a Spanish lady, whose daughter is about to be married to the Duke of Berwick and Alba, has just sent to Madrid a magnificent set of presents to her daughter and her fu ture son in-law. But the most curious and expensive specimen of her taste is a Malay cans of great delicacy and just proportions, in ornamenting which so liberal an outlay of small diamonds, emeralds and amethysts has been made, that the whole cost amounts to no less than 14,000 f. £560 sterling. The Duchess, on being reproach ed by one of her friends for this lavish waste of money replied, " You are quite right ; the sum is considerable ; but when one marries a daughter to a Duke of Berwick and Alba one cannot hesitate about expense." In Rus sia, when a marriage takes place, the father of the bride places in the. hand of the son-in-law a stick, not thicker however, than his thumb, with the liberal use of which th e domestic felicity of the young couple is to be ar ranged. It is to be hoped that the Duchess de Montijo had no such ideas present to her mind in selecting the Malay cane as a present to her yendre. Let it rather be supposed that the choice nronerds T.:-L iium ner souven ai;s, as she is the daughter of an Hibernian insn merchant, Mr. Fitzpatric, well known and respected at Malaga, whose family shillelagh has more than once been heard of at the fairs of Tradderee. THE CAPTURE AND DEATH OF AN ALLIGATOR, From the Calcutta Star.) A very large alligator was hooked and safely landed at the Acra Farm on Saturday evening last. The hook, which was a single barb and straight shank, about eleven inches long, had entered the back part of the right upper jaw, and, passing round the cheek bone, came but above the eye. It may be mentioned for the guidance of fisher men that the hook above described is far preferable to the small grapnel-shaped affair which has been thought ne cessary for this game. But the probabilities are, that this fellow would have taken any hook, for he was ravenous, and it was not thought necessary even to float the bait, but drawing it a few feet out of the water on the mud, two hands were left to watch and report progress. When all was quiet he came straight at it and made no bones about it. The word was passed, and by the time he had rolled himself over and over two or three times, some fifty bands were hanging on to a 24 inch rope, and " pull devil, pull baker" was the order of the day till he was safely housed, a matter of no slight difficulty, as may be supposed, con sidering that with his tail he could manage a range of about 16 feet. He appeared to have remained perfectly motionless during the night, being found in the morning just as he was left. It may be mentioned, that the off hind leg was gone at the first joint, that is, the foot was wanting, or hand, for their extremities are much more like hands than feet. There are five fingers, three of which have large and long nails upon them, and the other two are scaled to the very tip. He was maimed also in the near fore flapper, and had evidently been in the wars. They are known to fight desperately with each other about their prey, and this one had been maimed for life without a pension ; the stump was well rounded off, and the injury not have been a recent one. Some fortnight ago a child was taken away in this neigh bourhood by an alligator, while filling some water vessels, and it was thought most probable it might be the monster now under sentence. Gentlemen who amuse themselves with firing ball at this kind of large game may save their powder and lead. The trials made with a rifle show how heavy the odds are againsl doing anything with them. There was some difference of opinion as to whether a rifle ball would pass through him, supposing it was not to strike the scales. The first one fired with a view to this experiment entered the side below the strong scales of the back, and the brute took not the slightest notice of it ; and a second, near the same spot, which seemed not to trouble him in the least; neither of them passed through, , though they were fired from a distance of not more than ten feet. He was now stirred up in the rere with a long pole, and he turned upon his assailant with a ferocity that was terrific ; people talk of aligators not being able to turn easily ; he was round with the rapidity of a flash ; the re port, when he opened his jaws to the full extent, and closed them in his rage, was incredibly loud, and gave a tolerable idea of the enormous power of the jaws. A third shot was now fired, with the view of finishing him, if pos sible ; and the aim was behind the large raised scales, at the extreme end of the head, so as to break the spine. , This would appear to have been done, for he turned upon his back, and did not again recover his position. After a fourth ball, and a most careful search for his heart with a bayonet and a spear, a rope was passed over him and he was dragged out, giving ever and anon sufficient warning of the propriety of standing aloof. A fifth ball in the spine app ?aced to settle him ; and on passing the taps along his back he measured, to a nicety, sixteen feet six inches; but his tail too had been curtailed eighteen inches less than one caught in the same place about three years ago, and of which a very perfect skeleton was made on the farm, taken to England by Mr. Waterhouse, and depo sited in a museum in Yorkshire. With a heavy axe he was now divided just abaft his hind legs. The next pro cess was an interesting one--the examination of the sto mach. It contained but little; portions of the skull of a child, the thigh bones, sonic smaller ones, and the bones of one hand, a quantity of straw, a large ball of hair, about four feet of inch rope, and six or eight bangles, two or three of which were of - silver. Having cut off the head and weighed it, it was found to be, to an ounce, 2 cwt. The muscular action in the tail end, about 6 or 7 feet, was extraordinary, for, on inserting a knife to expose the fat, which here lies in thick layers, the whole mass, saving only the chump. was thrown into violent motion; and, after performing -veral gyrations almost on end, struck the ground with f - traordinary violence. This was the effect of every insertion of the knife, and it could not have been less than an hour after it was severed from the body. The head, by the by, was five feet 8 inches round the jaws, and 3 feet 6 i nc h es l ong. It is cleaned and preserved. ' The fat from the body was carefully taken off by native operators, it being highly valued as an external applica tion for rheumatism, &c. ---.•.- The entire proceedings of Monday having been for warded to us by our correspondent, per the mail packet, we hastened to present the following account to our readers in a Third Edition : Dublin, Monday, Half-past Eight, p.m --- • . As I had anticipated, the proceedings at the " Concilia tion Hall" extended to an unusually late hour. The most important feature of the day was the adhesion of Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., for Limerick. to the Repeal Association in unqualified terms. The meeting at past six o'clock adjourned min one o'clock to-morrow, the rent for the week was announced to be, as far as could be ascertained up to six o'clock, £2284; numerous communi cations containing remittances had arrived, the amount of which had not been ascertained at the hour of adjourn ment, and which will therefore be carried to next week's account. A government reporter was in attendance. the organisation displayed by the incendiaries in lighting these signal fires was almost incredible. The meaning of those fires we cannot ascertain, but of this we are cer tain, that they are intended for no good purpose. The Cork Constitution also says :hat " in the direction of Donoughmore the hills were all " ablaze" on Thurs day evening. The lighting commenced about ten o'clock, and soon a ft er scores of fires were seen flaming round the country. Are there," our contemporary remarks, " any ill-advisers egging on the unfortunate people—urging them on to deeds which they will by-and-by bewail in blood ?" The Limerick Chronicle thus confirms the above state ments :—"On Thursday night the whole country sur rounding Limerick for an area of many miles, including portions of the counties Limerick, Clare, and Tipperary, and the banks of the Shannon, at either side of the river, furnished almost simultaneously glowing indications of " a demonstration," the real meaning of which did not transpire, but that it was a political ruse little doubt ap pears. Fires were blazing in all directions, as far as the eye could reach, and the illumination was general. The alarm to many families residing in and beyond the suburbs was extremely painful, and such fearful indications are regarded with anything but pleasure in the present state of the country. The formidable signal fires re ferred to, we since learn, were seen to spread into the counties of Cork and Kerry, with almost magic rapidity." PROGRESS OF REPEAL. THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.-011 Monday last, a meeting of gentlemen was held at Tipperary, to express their regret at the contemplated removal of the Marquis's establishment from the county, in consequence of the recent fire there, as mentioned in our last. His lordship, however, has determined to remove. REPRESENTATION OF THE COUNTY OF KILKENNY.— It is reported that the Hon. Mr. Wandesforde, of Castle coiner (one of the largest landed proprietors i❑ this coun ty,) will start for its representation upon the ministerial and anti-repeal interest, supported by his nephew, the Marquis of Ormonde, and all the wealth and respectability of this county. DISCOVERY OF A MURDERER.—A man of the name of Hughes has just been apprehended in London on a charge of having murdered his wife at Waterford in 1836. He has hitherto escaped the vigilance of the police. It appears he murdered his wife by fracturing her skull with a hammer, and, by leaping upon her body, she being Pregnant at the time, thereby destroying the infant in the womb. He put her head also under the grate, and poked the fire upon it. These resolutions having been adopted, the secretary continued to announce the sums contributed since last meeeting. The amonnt of the rent for the week was declared to be—Two Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-four Pounds. SHIPWRECK AT BALLINTOY. — Extract of a letter from Randal M`Donnell, Esq., agent for Lloyd's :—" Bailin toy, near Ballycastle, 16th October. The schooner Emer ald, of Londonderry, Thomas Moore, master, from Arch angel, with a cargo of tar, pitch, and rosin, came on shore here on Friday morning, and is now near a complete wreck, lying in deep water close to the rocks. Not a soul was found on board the schooner, which, with the portion of the cargo saved, are in my care ! At six o'clock the meeting adjourned till one o'clock to-morrow. SIMULTANEOUS SIGNAL FIRES-MOVE MENT AMONGST THE PEASANTRY. The Tipperary Constitution states that " on Thursday night between the hours of seven and eight o'clock the Loss OF LIFE.—On last Friday morning four men entire country was literally covered with fires. From from the immediate neighbourhood of Enniscrone put off every eminence throughout the counties of Limerick, 1 , 1 ,1 a boat for the purpose of hauli ng in some nets which Clare, and Tipperary, a fire blazed, and the pub all shot into lightrotoads, they had set for takin g h err i ngs. When at a short dis almost simultaneously. Fires blazed on tance from the shore, the sea rose suddenly to a tremen dous height and upset the boat, when three of the men and torches were seen to be borne along by the country W ere unfortunately lost. The fourth person clung to the people in every direction. It was really wonderful to boat, and s v that means succeeded in reaching the shore. witness the exactness with which each fire, for miles The bodie of the three persons drowned have not yet round, blazed into light, a l m ost a t the same moment, and been found.—Mayo Constitution. MUSKETS FOR IRELAND.—On Friday, upwards of 1,000 percussion -lock muskets were put on board a barge at the Tower, preparatory to their being transhipped on board a Government steam-packet at Woolwich, for Ire land. The muskets and bayonets were packed in strong wooden cases, and marked " Stores, Carrickfergus." ON DlT.—The Dublin Evening Mail, of Friday, states, that a rumour prevails, which had its origin in Roman Catholic circles, that Dr. Higgins, the Titular Bishop of Ardagh, has been summoned to Rome, to answer, before the " Sovereign Pontiff," for an expression used by him, in reference to England, at one of the early repeal meet ings.

The letter in question was published last week. It is also stated that Lord Cardigan has di rected legal proceedings to be commenced against the Dublin Freeman's Journal, for the publication of a letter signed " Captain ()titan." THE WHITE QUAKERS.—A party of White Quakers arrived in this town on Thursday last, and created a sen sation by their primitive appearance and zeal in the cir culation of blasphemous documents among the crowd. One of them was a manifesto from Mr. Joshua Jacob, against Thomas Thacker Pim, Edward Sugden, and Ed. ward Litton, who are proclaimed outlaws, as follows: " Unless Edward Sugden and Edward Litton, two noted offenders against God, are brought to condign punish ment within twelve calendar months, for sanctioning • On Sunday week, a repeal meeting was held in the hvpocrit t ic h a e l liars, fai rogues, robbers, swindlers, and rn ur thful in Christ Jesus are commanded to Post-office Ward, Dublin, where the arch-agitator himself q e iu. ab r s e ta r in' from all observance of human or man-made laws, aattended,vote confidenceand kept u in p himselfthe stea f m r 0 observing . only the law of God given by Joshua Jacob and Beale."

(From our Second Edition of Tuesday last.) We last night received, through Messrs. Wilimer and Smith, conveyed to Liverpool by express, exclusively from their London Agent, Mr. W. H. Smith, of 192, Strand, London, the Bombay Monthly Times, of the 26th of August. The dates brought by this mail,' are—Calcutta, 10th, Scinde, 19th, and Bombay, 26th of August. From China 26th of June only. The news from India is not of a remarkable kind. Tranquillity prevailed in the interior. An army of ob servation, was, it is said, to be formed on the Sutledge and another in the neighbourhood of Gualior ; both were to be ready in the month of October. The new Com mander-in-Chief, Sir Hugh Gough, would, it was stated, take the command of the former, and General Sir W. Nott of the latter. Lord Ellenborough, whose presence in Calcutta had produced the best results there, was, it is reported, to come himself to the neighbourhood of Agra or Allahabad in October, in order to direct the settlement of the Gua lior Government. _ _ Scinde was tranquil and likely to continue so, unless it be disturbed by any measures ordered from London in consequence of the misrepresentations which some blind partisans sent to England from Bombay. Sir Charles Napier had thus fat regulated that conquest. The troops were healthy. Shere Mahommed had fled to the Beloochee mountains, from whence it was said he was contemplating an attack on some of the posts of the British troops. Ali Mahom med, a young man of talent, and a relative of the ex- Ameers, made an attempt to maintain his own territory against the usurpation of his uncle, Mourad Ali, who has contrived by various crooked arts to obtain the favour of the British and to aggrandize himself at the expense of all the other Ameers ; but Ali Mahommed has been routed by his uncle Mourad Ali, and he has also fled to the where he has joined the partisans of Shere It is said that after the rainy season the mount Alahommed various hill tribes borderintron the plains, now subject to the British and to Mourad Ali, will be induced to make inroads, and to try to plunder the settlers, but it does not seem expected that they will risk any battles for the ex pulsion of the British. General Simpson was coming round to Bombay in the Queen steamer in order to become second in command, and, perhaps,: successor to Sir Charles Napier, whose health, it is said, requires removal to the sea coast. A most extraordinary discovery was effected in July last, at Bombay, of a confederacy for plundering boats, robbing ships, and smuggling goods. This gang had existed for at least a quarter of a century in the most po pulous part of that town. They are also supposed to be connected with the pirates and murderers who even now so frequently commit the greatest atrocities.within almost the hail of the police and other authorities of that impor tant naval station. No discovery was ever made of the gang until one of the accomplices gave a clue which led to seizure of their books, and to the development of the "^h was organized in the most perfect hole system, which was org ine pollee were on the traces of the malefactors, but it was feared that no conviction would take place, as most of the police agents had been bribed by the gang, and they were throwing every obstacle in the way of hav ing any of their accomplices punished. An extraordinary court martial had been held at Poona!). Two officers, a colonel and a major, had a dispute; the colonel soon afterwards offered to make up the quarrel, but was told the whole affair lad been sent up in a complaint to the Government. The complaint was referred to a court of inquiry, which decided after having heard evidence that there were faults on both sides. The Colonel then sent in a demand for a 'urt-martial on the Major, on the ground of his having •lly made a false and unfounded statement. The ler-in-Chief refused the demand and censured the application as out of place, as the decision of the court of inquiry was then under his consideration. The Colonel reiterated the demand but no notice was taken of it. Two months afterwards the colonel had the proceed ings, with his own charges and letters, privately printed, and sent to his friends. The pamphlet was shown to the Major, who demanded a court martial, by which, after the examination of the same witnesses, he was declared honourably acquitted. This verdict, which was supposed to be contrary to the evidence, has been much canvassed. Commanc THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD Oct. 31, 184 3 . ----...!
