VOttii). LINES On contemplating the proceedings of the late Banquet at the Amphitheatre, on the occasion of Laying the Foundation Stone of the Liverpool Collegiate Institution. We fear not for old England ; though the hatred, dire and deep, And the ban of wolfish Rome around her holy altars sweep ; Though the scorner and the infidel—a fierce and traitor band — Ate mustering to trample her, we fear not for our land ! Whilst hearts as true are hers, as those which beat around us now, Mad loyalty is left, lil;e that which beams upon each brow ; Whilst beauty smiles, as now she smiles, and waves her snow-white To cheer us on the path of right, we feai not for our land ! Whil* England's old nobility—a leal and matchless race, Like Sandon, Stanley, Egerton, our festive board who grace— The foremost in her sacred cause are ready aye to stand, For loyalty and Cistian truth, we fear not for our land ! And England's gallant gentlemen—they fight upon our side, With all her noble yeomanry, her bulwark and her pride; Her merchant princes too are here, with wealth of every strand, To gild our holy banner ; then why fear we for onr land ? • The mitred prelates of her church—the pious and the pure— Have girded on their panoply of steadfast faith and sure ; And marshall'd round, on every side, a holy phalanx stand To battle for her altar stories, We fear not for our land ! No traitor arm can e'er depress the spirit which is here — The firm and holy trust which finds a voice in every cheer ; That trust is in the Word of Life, which, like the prophet's wand, Laid dry the path for Israel ;—we fear not for our lund ! " Britannia needs no bulwarks—no towers along the steep,"*— Whilst o'er her loyal hearts and hands their watchful vigils keep ; And whilst the blessed lamp of life sheds forth its radiance bland— From every hill and mountain top, we fear not for our land ! We fear not for old England,—for her church and for her crown : A thousand hands this night would rise to strike the traitor down A thousand tongues are raady now the recreant name to brand, Who flinches from her banner ;—Oh! why fear we for our land ? G. B. J, * Campbell. SPEE I OF THE REV. HUGH M`NEILE, AT THE DINNER TO LORD STANLEY, ON THURSDAY, OCT. 22. Notwithstanding that we presented a supplement to our readers n Friday last, we were unable to find room for the eloquent speech of our distinguished townsman, the Rev. Hugh M`Neile, at the dinner to Lord Stanley, on the occa sion of laying the foundation stone of the Liverpool Collegiate Institution. In redemption of our pledge, we now lay it be fore our readers, convinced that its intrinsic merits will be recognised by all. The NOBLE PRESIDENT (Lord Francis Egerton) having called on the reverend gentlemen to propose a toast, The Rev. Mr. M'NEILE rose, and the cheering which greeted his appearance was most enthusiastic. He spoke as follows :—My Lord, I have to assure your lordship, and you, gentlemen, that I would attempt some reference to my own feelings at this moment, but that I am really afraid and ashamed to do so—afraid, because I think that anything like an apology about the unworthy individual who bas been called up to address you would be more presumptive than total silence. '[lie reception which I have met with has cer tainly deprived me for a moment of my usual faculties of ut terance. (Loud cheers, during which the rev. gentleman seemed to be deeply affected.) It is not to be attributed to any rank, or station, or influence I possess, or can possess, but I am in some degree reassured by the remembrance that it is oci asni.ed by th, fact, that I have a heart and tongue winch 1 rha Go,i arc turned by his grace to the defence of the institution., of our country, as they are based on the word of revelation and presented in the formularies, the discipline, and the order of that church of which 1 am an unworthy but most attached member. (Vehement applause.) My lord,—lt is my high privilege to propose for the adop tion of tins distinguish d assembly, and I doubt not for their permanently practical as well as their immediately cordial adoption, the prosperity of an infant society in direct opera tive connexion with our Collegiate Institution. (Hear.) My lord, every thing conspires to strengthen our convic tion that in giving a largely improved education to the com mercial trading s and working classes of our great community, we are grappling, so far as our exertions can grapple, with the fundamental question of our times. - That quepon, truly traced to its source, is not are we to have peace or war? are we to have a conservative or a de structive Cabinet ? are we to have a repeal or no repeal of the legislative union with Ireland ? are we to have an increase or a decrease of the unconstitutional influence within the realm of a foreign ecclesiastical potentate ? These, and all such things, are secondary and symptomatic. Englishmen, as they ought to be, soon settle all these. The question is, what is now to be done for Englishmen? (Loud cheers.) They are not as they ought to be. They are not prepared as they ought to e, to meet the great questions which are now more than everbrought before them, and on which they are now more than;.ever called to decide. [Here the mayor's deputy, Mr. Crooke, who appeared to be labouring under an indistinct conception that it was he who ought to be speaking, commenced addressing certain mysterious and piteous sounds to the chairman, which were suddenly cut short by u summary ejectment, vi et artnis, by his surrounding friends.] Mr. WNEILE continued.—The progress of legislation has placed the wielding in the last resort of the sceptre of government in the bands of the middle classes of the community. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I am not about to offer any comment upon the propriety or policy of having done this. I speak of it now simply as a fact in order to introduce 'in connexion with it, another fact more immediately the subject of our present consideration. The middle classes of the community are called to the exercise of the most responsible duties, for the adequately intelligent dis charge of which they have not the requisite information. (Hear.) Possessing the power, they ought to possess the intelligence of statesmen. They are substantially their own legislators ; and to acquit themselves as they ought to do for the safety and improvement of the country, they ought to be able to take comprehensive views of the great balanced and balancing . interests of the state. Not to mention our foreign connexions, and the high principles involved in international laws, they ought to be able to sae the inseparable connexion (instead of any party rivalry) which subsists between the apparently con flicting, but really harmonious interests of manufacture and agriculture, of landlord and tenant, of employer and work man, of the liberty of commercial enterprise and the nation ality of protecting duties, of sound permanent policy and truly enlightened humanity, of true religious consistencyand genuine christian toleration—so that to rush headlong in any one direction is not only to injure the other side but in the ine vitable recoil to injure if not ruin both sides. (Loud cheers.) Correct views on these subjects, my lord, are acquirements of no ordinary difficulty. They cannot be had impromptu. They are the results of painstaking investigation, and discri minating wisdom—a field into which no man can enter with out a competent stock of preliminary and sound erudition. (Hear, and applause.) To question the duty of cultivating the minds of our mid dle classes up to a statesman's growth, or to hesitate about the vigorous performance of that duty, is little short of sui cidal madness. We have armed them for the political field, and now if we leave them ignorant of the great questions and interests of national policy, we leave them as a ready engine for mischief in the hands of the experimental empiric, urging on his one-eyed, narrow theory, to the inevitable upsetting of the machine ; or to the factious demagogue, clamouring about patriotism, while his object is to put money in his purse ; or to the wily traitor, who, practising on their igno rance, may turn their energies against themselves and their country. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) If it be alleged that it is utterly hopeless to put the im mense mass of the middle classes in possession of the erudi tion necessary for such high and delicate investigations; that their habits, and the necessities of their existence demanding the daily toil of their hands, render such cultivation altoge ther beyond their reach : our reply in the first instance is this—lf so, if it be utterly hopeless to make them statesmen in ictelligence, then it is utterly ruinous to make them states men in privilege—to pat into their hands an instrument, and a sharp one, wnich they do not know, and cannot learn, how to wield. (Hear, hear.) But, my lord, our answer in the second place is this—lt is not hopeless. Ido indeed believe that it is utterly hope less to make the physical and mathematical sciences popular. I am well persuaded that in those sciences the middle classes, considered as a body, can never acquire more than that little knowledge which is a dangerous thing : and experience con firms the opinion that those educationists of our day who are leading their pupils of the middle classes to devote all, or nearly all, their studying time to those sciences, are not doing them toe good they intend. A few individual cases of al os cut .us success may he pointed to, but these con fir i .stead of supers .ding the rale. (Hear, hear.) But my .ord, Inter all, and without meaning to convey the slightest disparagement of those lofty pursuits where they can he fully followed, I am free to confess that, notwithstand ing the boast of mathematicians that their intellectual ab stractions teach men to reason, 1 do not think such reason ing is the roost helpful in the attainment of true practical WiSiliMn, either in this world, or for the next. (Hear, hear.) I will briefly say wily. In the practical affairs of nations, as of individnals, the mind has to balance probabilities and decide on comparative degrees of the eligible and the in eligible. For such balancings and decisions, the school of rigid demonstration is not the best. (Hear.) Calculations conducted with unerring certainty, either among the unchanging rela tions of given quantities, or among the uniform effects, in due proportion to the distances, of the attraction of gravita tion and the centrifugal impetus; are not the most appropri ate eiitivators of that practical wisdom, and sound good sense. Mlle') must daily determine, not between the proved and the disproved, but between the more or less judicious or injudicious. (Great applause.) Most true it is, and will be found, that no very large section of the working classes ever will, or can, become com petently conversant with the abstract sciences. I have said completely conversant, for I do not mean to deny, that a superficial smattering (enough for dangerous vanity, but not enough for real wisdom) may readily be acquired. But my lord, the working classes can learn what is much better : better for themselves and better for their country. They can learn the history of nations, and therein the character of man, and the dealings of God. (Hear.) These are the elements of true political science. (Hear.) They can learn, that although every fact considered as a fact is new, never was before and never can be again, yet tt at considered with reference to the un changing principles of this world's history, there is nothing new. " The thing toot hair been, it is that which shall be, and that which is clone, is that which shall be done, and there is no new thing under the sun." They can learn that all people, nations, and languages have to do with one great Ruler, who is the same yesterday and to -day, a n d for ever. They can learn the great principles of his moral administra tion over the empires of the earth. (Cheers.) " At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, if that nation do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good wherewith I said I would benefit them. And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy it; if that nation against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, and obey my voice, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.'' They can see these principles illustrated, and prac tical light thrown upon what is here called good and evil, by the history of nation after nation ; from Assyria and Baby lon, of by-gone centuries, down to the frightful termination of the last century in France. They can have the applica tion of these principles to their own time and circumstances. My lord, I adopt in seriousness the phrase, however intended, of the present Lord Chancellor of Ireland, when he called history an old almanack. For what, let me ask, have we to change in an old almanack to make it new? Not the pro gress of the seasons : these remain the same : not the recur rence of the equinoxes, not the evolutions of the earth on her axis and in her orbit, not the changes of the moon, not the rising and falling of the tides, no, they all continue sub stantially the same ; and what then have we to change ) .only the dates, and the rare and comparatively unimportant, though for a moment alarming, prodigies of eclipses of the sun or moon, and passing comets with their tails of lurid fire. (Hear.) And so it is with history. (Hear, hear.) Changing its dates from year to yearoats fundamental principles are of perpetual recurrence. The real cause of the overthrow of governments is now what it was when Pharoah in the pride of power and fancied self-sufficiency, gave honest utter ance t o the infidel principle, " who is the Lord that I should obey his voice ? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go." (Hear, hear.) The real cause of prosperity and peace, and influence and honour, in a nation, (beautifully illustrated by our own history), is what it was when Hezekiah and Josiah and Jehoshaphat cleansed their country from the pollutions of idol's temples, and established from Dan to Beersheba, the true worship of the true and living God. We have only to change the dates, and make allowance for a French eclipe of king and church, or an Irish comet with a lurid tail, and the old almanack becomes the daily newspaper. (Immense cheering.) Now, my lord, to teach the middle classes of our commu nity these principles is our object in our Collegiate Institu tion ; and to begin with their children is our object in the kindred Institution of little more than a year old, for whose infancy it is my pleasing duty to solicit your fostering regard, and for whose growth I venture to anticipate your nourishing liberality. (Cheers.) My lord, our labours in this cause are not the random shots of unenlisted volunteers, but the orderly and well di rected fire of disciplined regiments, under episcopal comman ders. We educate not as insulated individuals, to make in sulated scholars, but as churchmen, to make educated, intel ligent, and attached members of the church. (Cheers.) I ain ashamed to have so long trespassed upon the time of your lordship. With this mention of its connection with the church, I have to propose " Success to the Diocesan Educa tional Society." (Cheers.) It is the peculiar feature of the society, that it leads you to see our vocation as clergy men ; to see us take the formularies of the church to the chil dren of the middle classes, and invite them to the nourish ment of that bread which grows in the stature of the perfect churchmen who is the perfect citizen. I believe there is no society but thechurch that can meet the aching necessities of the population of the world in the state into which it has now fallen. There is a longing anxiety in man to have the desire of his heart for communion fulfilled, and where shall we find it fulfilled ? Communion here is interrupted by the thousand accidents of life, it is cut off entirely by the inevi table stroke of death All social communications are liable to perpetual interruptions. Family bonds, ardent attach ments, must give way to the iron necessities of life, dragging children from their homes, breaking up the domestic circle, carrying men into foreign lands to traverse whole nations. The whole state of human society is, at best, but transitory. All that man's heart most longs for is most interfered with, and he is left a longing creature, still looking for higher, more satisfying, more sanctifying communion. (Hear, hear.) My lord, it is the church of God, as it appears to us in the book of Revelation, the church of God as mi nistered by his appointed servants, that supplies this communion. (Hear, hear.) It supplies a permanent com munion, and not that only, but a communion that gives us a foretaste of that which is to come. So, my lord, we read the communion of the saints. We read it as the communion, not merely with those that are now bound in the social circle, or in our congregational societies, but as a communion of the whole body of Christ, part of which are already departed, and are with the Lord. We come together by faith—with the spirits of just men made perfect. (Hear, and great applause.) The church offers communion with the mighty dead, who being dead yet speak, not only in the example they have left but in the communion which they held forth ; and in 'pre senting such a society as the Christian church more and more prominently to the eyes of men, as we do in these educational institutions, we are using God's own ordinance, the only effectual one, for the best organiza tion of society. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I deeply feel that in the attempt to shew thus briefly the nature of the claims the church has upon the best affections of the heart, superior to any other that can be propounded to man's observation, I have not succeeded to my own heart's wish in conveyir g the desire of that heart in these words. But if I have intimated it to any—if I have opened a line, might it in that way lead to the duty of believing communion by faith with the spirits of just men made perfect ? I trust I have done a service. Though you may not see the benefits resulting from it at present, or perhaps ever, I shall perhaps not have any occasion to be sorry for it when I meet many I now address in another and a more enduring society. (Cheers.) Returning to the matter in hand, and desiring to come to a close, I cannot look along the line of tables, and see the in dividuals which compose the present company without feel ing disposed—and I hope I shall be excused—l cannot see the two distinguished characters on your lordship's right, without being tempted to let my real last words on the pre sent occasion be the fabled last words of a gallant chieftain. When I consider the investigating vigilance and public warn ings of our beloved diocesan with reference to rising heresy in the church, and the ability, power, and indomitable perse verance of our noble guest, where the battle of the constitu tion is to be fought, I am urged to use words whose fami liarity can be sanctioned only by the associations of their context— " Charge, Chester, charge ! on, Stanley, on!" [The reverend gentleman then resumed his seat. It is im possible to describe the enthusiasm of the long, loud, and vehement cheering with which the concluding line was taken up by the auditory. Mr. M`Neile was heard to say only, " Charge, Chester, charge !"—" on, Stanley, on !" from a thousand voices, was the exciting response.] COAL-PIT ACCIDENTS, NEAR WIGAN. On Tuesday last. an inquest was held at Ince, near Wigan, upon the body of Thomas Lawrence, who came to his death under the circumstances detailed in the following evidence, taken by the coroner, Mr. Heyes James Sharrock, being sworn, stated—l am browman at a colliery at Wigan, belonging to Mr. Ashall ; and the de ceased, a boy between twelve and thirteen years old, worked in the same colliery as a drawer. On Saturday last, the 17th instant, about four o'clock in the afternoon, I and another man were at work as browmen. We sent an empty basket down, and I particularly noticed that it was firmly and pro perly hooked by the chain to the hook-holes of the basket. When it had got to the bottom, three knocks were given at the conducting rod, being the signal that somebody was coming up. The engine was started, and when the basket had got about half way up the pit, which is about 120 yards deep, I heard something fall to the bottom, and there was a cry and a call to let down. The engineer did so, but before the basket had got many yards down I heard another call of " Coming up." I called to the engineer to reverse the en gine; he did so, and the basket was hoisted up to the top. I then found that one side of the chain was unhooked, and a boy and a girl were hanging to the other side of the chains, and partly in the basket. When they were taken out they said that two others had fallen to the bottom. I noticed that the twigs were drawn in on one side of the basket, from which I infer that when the basket had got to the bottom, the rope slackened, and the hook came out of the hole, and caught in the twigs of the basket ; and that when the drawers had got part of the way up, their weight drew the twigs, and the basket fell on one side, by which two of them were pre cipitated to the bottom. Of those who fell, the girl, named Porter, was killed on the spot; the boy, Lawrence, was car ried home, and lived about two hours and a quarter. James Barker.—l work as a drawer at the said colliery. Deceased was a drawer in the same pit. We had done work on Saturday last, and were waiting to go up the pit, when presently a basket came down. We knocked as a signal for the engineer to lower the basket, which he did, and deceased and I, together with Mary Porter and Margaret Yates, got into it. I looked at the hook on my side, and the hooker-on was standing at the same side. Some one asked the hooker on if all was right, and he said it was. The hooker-on then knocked three times, and the engine started, and drew us about half way up, when one side of the basket gave way, and the deceased and Mary Porter fell out of the basket to the bottom of the pit. I called to the engineer to stop, and he did so ; 1 afterwards called out for him to pull us up, and he then wound us to the top, and we got out. We held by the chain, with our feet in the basket. When we got into the basket the chains were slack, and I tightened my side, but do not know who tightened the other chain. Sometimes when the basket strikes against the bottom of the pit, the hook comes out of the ear, and catches the twigs of the bas ket; and I am of opinion that that was the case in this in stance. The hooker-on is not always there when we get into the basket. Margaret Yates.—l am one of the four who got into the basket, at Mr. Ashall's colliery, on Saturday last, to come up from our work. Before we got in, the hooker-on asked us to mind the hooks, and.l said we would. I did examine my hook, which was next to the middle rods, and it was right. When we got half way up, the hook on the opposite side to me came loose, and Mary Porter and the deceased fell to the bottom of the pit. I and Sharrock got up safe. I had asked the others to hold fast by the chains before I got in. lam of opinion that when the basket struck the bottom of the pit, the hook came out of the ear; and when the ropes stretched, the hook caught and held by the twigs of which the basket is made. It must have been so, as the, twigs were partially drawn. As there appeared to be no blame that could attach to any one connected with the colliery, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." Another inquest was held on the same day, also at Ince and before the same coroner, on view of the bodies of Richd Hilton and John Green. It appeared in evidence that the deceased worked at the colliery of Messrs. Nuttall and Caldwell, in Ince. Hilton was 57, and Green 22 years of age. The previous evening (Monday), about eight o'clock, they got into a tub for the purpose of descending the pit, to commence their work of sinking. They work only in the night, as the engine is used for winding coals in the daytime from an upper mine. They called to the engineer to let them down, which he did, and before they had got more than eight yards down, the rope broke, and the tub and the men fell to the bottom, a distance of about forty-two yards. Green was killed upon the spot, but Hilton lived abuut half an hour. The browman stated that the rope was a good one, and had not been in use so long as they invariably last. There was not the slightest suspicion that there was a bad place in the rope. There were no splicings in it. The rope had been used all day in winding tubs of coal, each of which would weigh from 4 to 5 cwt., a much heavier weight than the two men. The rope never broke before. William Ashurst, the engineer, corroborated the above evidence of the browman. Verdict—" Accidental death." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Morning Herald of Saturday.) We received, last night, our Paris correspondence of Thursday, and the Madrid mail of the 15th. In lieu of the usual summary which we are in the habit of presenting to our readers, we give the following communica tion from our correspondent:— " PARIS, Thursday, Oct. 22, Four o'clock. " I sent you at two o'clock this afternoon an extraordinary courier with the important announcement that the whole of M. Thiers' ministry had given in its resignation, and that the King had accepted it. Though I had the intelligence from a good source at an earlier hour, I waited to have it formally authenticated, as well as to know the effect it would produce on the Bourse, but I now fear that my courier has but a bad chance of effecting his passage in time for a second edition, as the weather has suddenly become most tempestu ous. Still the effort has been worth the making, and your readers will appreciate our anxiety to give the latest and the most authentic information. " The cause of quarrel between the King and M. Thiers arises from the different colour which his Majesty and his minister wish to give to the speech from the throne. The King desired to have the speech so clearly indited that all the world might read France wanted peace, and peace only ; while M. Thiers was resolved that the preparations for war which have been made should be justified from the mouth of Louis Philip. " The discussions on this point have been going on for several days ; but at half-past twelve o'clock last night the difference came to such a height, that the ministers in a body resigned, and the King accepted their resignation. " The King instantly sent for Count Mole, who is his fa vourite, and who has the confidence of the conservative party and of foreign courts ; but Count Mole excused himself, under some pretence, and declined the intended honour. " Marshal Soult was then called for, and he at once ac cepted the trust reposed in him, and undertook the formation of the cabinet—the basis of his arrangement being, that M. Guizot should be the minister of foreign affairs. " The resignation of the Thiers ministry is a most alarm ing event, in the opinion of well-informed persons. " As M. Thiers goes out for war, he throws on the king all the popular odium of submitting to what will be called a dishonourable peace. He will be the apostle of the war party, representing the most violent as well as the most numerous portion of the French people, and supported by the journals of the greatest circulation. " The king will be overwhelmed with public clamour, and, possibly, forced to the desperate measure of an abdication. " Had M. Thiers permitted the king to open the session with a moderate speech, M. Thiers must have fallen beneath the scorn of his own party, and the weight of the 221 friends of order and of peace. " The king called the chambers with the hope of, by their votes, getting rid of an obnoxious minister, and a still more obnoxious policy, but he has failed ; M. Thiers was too cun ning to be betrayed to his own ruin, and by thus resigning before the chambers meet, and on the question of peace or war, he holds the king in a vice from whence his majesty may never extricate himself. " In my opinion the king will find so much difficulty in forming an administration, that M. Thiers must be recalled, and a warlike speech be framed, or such a paragraph intro duced into it as will save M. Thiers before the country. " It is possible that Mr. Thiers will accept of no middle term, and that the king must submit to all he dictates. " I judged rightly when 1 said three weeks since that the convocation of the chambers aggravated the difficulties of the situation. " It is useless my repeating to you what the journals of this day say, as they are all written to a state of things which existed yesterday. " The Siecle is the only one which appears forewarned of the event. _ . _ _ " P.S., Five o'clock, p. m. •` Marshal Soult has named M. Duchatel for the Interior ; M. Guizot, Foreign Affairs ; M. Dufaure, Justice ; M. Passy, Finance; M. Villemain, Public Instruction : M. Teste, Com merce. Marshal Soult, War, with the Presidency. " M. Guizot has been sent for by telegraph. " Count mole has certainly refused. " The Duke de Broglie is to be offered the foreign affairs by courtesy ; but he will refuse. " The Chambers will be convoked in 15 days." The following is our correspondent's first communication respectingtthe above event. which we received by extraordi nary express, at a late hour yesterday afternoon : " PARIS, Thursday, Quarter-past One, p.m. " The Ministers have all resigned, and the King has ac cepted their resignation. Marshal Soult is charged with the formation of a new Cabinet. " Count Mole was sent for by the King, but refused to come. " M. Guizot is to be the new minister for Foreign Affairs. " The Funds fell at Tortoni's to 71 80 ; opened at the Bourse at 72, went up to 72 30, and are now at 71 60. The situation is most grave." SPAIN. ABDICATION OF THE QUEEN REGENT. MADRID, Oct. 15.—Queen Christina has abdicated. The following are the causes which produced this resolution on her part :—Espartero and his colleagues, on their arrival at Valencia, hastened to have an interview with her Majesty ; they took the usual oath of allegiance, but did not present the basis of their programme. Espartero, after the other minis ters had taken leave, remained closeted with the queen until twelve at night ; at that hour the other ministers were sent for ; they announced their programme verbally. The queen desired that it should be given to her in writing, but this was vehemently resisted during an hour and a half by four of the ministers ; at last, thanks to the interference of Espartero, the point was given up by his colleagues, and the minister of justice (Gomez Becarra) drew it up. A serious discussion then took place between the queen and the ministers. This conference lasted till day-break, when Espartero and his col leagues withdrew. When the ministers returned to the palace on the following morning, they were informed by the queen that in consequence of what had passed in the inter view of the preceeding night, she was resolved on abdicating the regency, and that her abdication was to take place in the presence of the civil, military, and ecclesiastical authorities of Valencia. It is stated, that the ministry, or the council of regency to call it by a more appropriate name, will soon arrive here with Queen Isabella and her sister. According to a report which is generally credited, the regency consists of Espartero, Ferrer, and Mina. The central junta will continue to meet, but it appear that it will possess no political character. The regency will find a powerful auxiliary in the army, 25,000 strong, which is concentrated at Madrid and its en virons. The following are the official documents sent to the junta of Madrid from Valencia : STATEMENT ADDRESSED TO THE QUEEN BY HER COUNCIL OF MINISTERS. " Madam,—From the moment the election of the present Cortes was announced, a general clamour has been raised against the measures adopted. Experience has fully shown that there were just grounds for their alarms, and no one could dare to say that in those elections there was exercised that liberty which was so necessary in order that the results might be regarded as the true expression of the will of the nation. The contrary has been decided by the only autho rity recognised by the constitution. The fatal project of law of the ayuntamientos has confirmed the suspicions which were excited. The obstinacy with which it has sustained these measures, and the course adopted in its discussion, have increased the unpopularity of the Chamber of Deputies to such a degree, that painful manifestations have proved the public dissatisfaction which it had encouraged. The law on tithes, and other objectionable projects, have still further in creased that discontent, and it has followed that one of the principal demands of the people who have risen for the de fence of the constitution which they have seen violated, has been the dissolution of the present Cortes. This demand, Madam, considering all we have pointed out to you, has be come irresistible. We have, therefore, the honour to pro pose to your Majesty the dissolution of the Cortes, and in order that it may take place, as the state of the country de mands, we submit to you the annexed ordonnances.

We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the sth of August, by the Mazeppa, which arrived on Saturday from Port Natal, bringing intelligence from that place to . the 22d of June.

The report of Dingaan's having fallen by the sword of the people of Sapoesa, is confirmed, and Nonkloas, the chief captain of the present King of the Zooloos, had attended the last Volks meeting, in order to renew a treaty of alliance. Thus have the emigrants overcome their most formidable enemy, and succeeded in establishing peace upon what is likely to prove a lasting basis. All the other Caffre tribes have also evinced the greatest respect for the farmers. PORT NATAL.—Extract of a letter from Dr. Adam (of the American mission,) addressed to a correspondent at Graham's Town, and dated Umlavi, Port Natal, April 28:—" Perhaps you have heard of the death of Dingaan ; he was slain several weeks since by some of the Amasuare tribe, into whose terri tory he had fled.

'—Standard. MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.—A very distressing and melan choly scene was witnessed on Thursday morning about nine o'clock, on Stockwell-street, Glasgow. A poor woman whose husband had died in some wretched hovel in the neigh bourhood of the Bridgegate, was seen walking behind a common barrow, on which was placed the remains of her departed husband. The poor creature, who appeared to be in a very distressed state of mind, several times gave vent to her feelings ; she was attended by her little daughter, a girl about nine years of age. The parties appeared to be of the poorest class of Irish shearers, and a large crowd witnessed the melancholy scene, as it passed on its way to the church.. yard.—Scottish Standard. SINGULAR THEFTS BY A LADY IN GLASGOW. (From the Scottish Standard) Within the last few days a number of very clever and auda cious thefts have been perpetrated in Glasgow, under cir cumstances which lead to the conclusion that they have been committed by a female, who, on the supposition that she is the guilty party, must have carried into the execution of them more than an average share of impudence and fashionable address. The following, so far as we can learn, are the par ticulars of this singular affair :—lt appears that on Thursday last a lady drove up to one of the most respectable hotels in a noddy, having just arrived, as she intimated, by one of the coaches from Edinburgh. She asked for a Sir John Fer guson, seemed disappointed that he was not at the inn to meet ber, and having taken a bed-room and parlour, re mained all night. - She made some inquiries in reference to the residence of Lord Kelburne, to whom, she said, she was about to pay a visit ; and on Friday left the hotel, and entered one of the Paisley railway omnibuses, with the view, as she stated, of going by railway, information having been given her, she alleged, that that was the best mode of reaching his lordship's residence. Here it is necessary to state, that on Friday morning, a gentleman who had slept in the inn disco vered that, during the night, his pocket bad been picked of £l2, £7 of which were in notes, and £5 in sovereigns. The notes had been wrapped up in a £2O note; but, as the latter had a mark upon it which might have led to detection, it was left behind by the thief; and in the place of the five sove reigns some silver was substituted. In a room on the flat above another gentleman had a £5 Bank of England note taken from his pocket, and three sovereigns from a purse, into which, in lieu of the sovereigns, three shillings bad been dropped. These mysterious thefts created " quite a sensa tion" in the hotel ; no one dreamed of blaming a lady, who expected a visit from Sir John Ferguson, and was on terms of intimacy with my Lord Kelburne—the gentlemen who slept in the inn could not for a moment be supposed guilty of theft—and, as we believe is very usual under similar circum stances, suspicion began to be directed towards one or other of the servants. Towards the evening, information of the thefts was left at the police-office, and Capt. Miller made a personal investigation into the matter. Having ascertained that a lady had slept in the inn, and finding from inquiry that this very lady, who was supposed to be on a visit at Lord Kelburne's, had taken up her residence at another respect able inn in the city, he began to see his way somewhat clearly in the affair. He ascertained that the lady had gone to the second hotel about two hours after she left the first one, so that it was rendered doubtful whether she had gone by the railway at all, as she had stated to be her intention, and, at all events, certain that she had not paid a visit to Lord Kel burne. At the second hotel she had also ordered a parlour and bed-room, and intimated her intention of remaining over the night she sent one of the waiters to take an inside seat in the six o'clock morning coach to Edinburgh, and directed a noddy to be in waiting to convey her to the coach at a proper hour on Saturday morning. Having ascertained these particulars, Captain Miller adopted two precautionary measures to secure the detection and apprehension of the lady, should she turn out to be the thief. He wrote to the Edinburgh police, intimating that a female might probably arrive in that city by the six o'clock coach, strongly suspected of theft, and requesting them to pay her a little attention. His next precaution was, to place one of his officers in a bed room adjoining that of the lady, with injunctions to watch her motions ; and here begins a part of our story, which can not fail to excite the amusement of our readers. About 11 o'clock at night the police-officer went to bed, accompanied by one of the innkeeper's sons, both having received strict injunctions from the superintendent not to sleep, but wake fully to be on their guard s ready to detect the lady in the ad joing bed-room, should she during the night, intrude for the purpose of inquiring too curiously into the contents of their pockets. The watchers obeyed most religiously these in structions till about half-past three or four in the morning, when wearied with their long vigils, they both fell into a pro found sleep. At half-past six o'clock they awoke ; the lady was half an hour gone; and, on the policeman drawing to his unmentionables, he discovered, to his astonishment and mortification, that, while he slept he had been robbed of £2. The innkeeper's son, on dipping into his pockets, made a similar discovery ; he had been robbed of all the money they contained, which, fortunately, was only a few shillings. In another room, a gentleman had had £7 in notes abstracted from bis pocket-book, and their place supplied by a number of small papers, accounts, and the like, which had been taken from one of his pockets ' • some loose silver had likewise been stolen from the table of another bed-room, on which,. how ever, a gold watch was allowed to remain untouched. The female, who has been already so often referred 10, left the hotel shortly before six in a noddy, having previously partaken of a glass of wine, and, at six precisely, left town by the Edinburgh coach. The police-officer thus awoke half an hour too late to find the lady, while his misbehaviour had en tirely defeated the admirable scheme of the superintendent for detecting the thief. As soon as practicable, the female was followed to Edinburgh; but it appears that, though the Edinburgh police, in terms of Captain Miller's letter, were waiting at the coach by which she arrived, she escaped their hands—their suspicion having fallen upon another passen ger : and, so far as we have heard, she has not yet been ap prehended. In all likelihood, however, she will soon be dis covered.. APPREHENSION OF THE " LADY THIEF." The Glasgow Courier contains the following account of the capture of this extraordinary "lady thief :" " In our last page will be found the particulars connected with one of the most extraordinary cases which it has been our lot to notice. The lady who forms the subject of the narrative, it was feared, had totally eluded the well-directed efforts of the Glasgow and Edinburgh police, but from a com munication received by Captain Miller yesterday, it appears that a female calling herself Jane Petrisci, or Harris, and answering the description given to the officers, was appre hended in a lodging-house in Edinburgh about two o'clock that morning, with about £5O in notes and sovereigns in her possession. The Glasgow officer, though he somewhat bun gled the business by falling asleep, along with the innkeeper's son who undertook to keep watch in the same recumbent posture, had the precaution to mark the money which he put into his pocket as a bait to the thief, and his quondam bed fellow did the same. This turns out a most fortunate matter, foi among the money found in the possession of Jane Petrisci, or Harris, were the identical notes, and the one shilling and sixpence which were marked. The arrival of the prisoner is expected to-day, when she will be examined. She is said to be a woman about thirty years of age, of exquisite manners and lady-like appearance. The superintendents of police both in Glasgow and Edinburgh deserve the highest com mendations for having succeeded in well-concerted measures for the detection of such a dangerous and most impudent system of thieving. We should think that when the circum stances are made known, gentlemen will take the precaution, even in the most respectable hotels, to lock their bed-room doors when they retire to rest." In addition to the above particulars, we learn that the " lady thief" was traced, through the medium of the porter employed in carrying her luggage, to a respectable house in Calton street, Edinburgh. She was here disco4red by the lady in the act of taking wine with a gentleman, on whom were found £l2, but who was not detained. The " lady thief," although found in possession of the marked money, denied all know ledge of the affair when apprehended. JOURNAL OF THE MONEY MARKET. THURSDAY EVENING. — The bargains in the English funds to-day were not of any great importance, and the fluctuations ranged within 4 per cent. The delivery of stock on sales made in the after-part of yesterday affected the market on the first commencement of business ; but subsequently it recovered, the Jews appearing as purchasers. Consols were at one period marked 871, but at the close of the day they were 87+ to : the last money price was 86+ to 7. Bank Stock is declining, and left off 159 to 161 prem.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, OCTOBER 24. Since this day se'nnight we have received upwards of 11,000 quarters of Oats and 8,100 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland : other wise the imports of British Grain. &c. have been moderate. The arrivals from abroad consist of 13,830 quarters of Wheat with 15,616 barrels of Flour from the United States and 5,500 barrels from Canada. Of the two former, however, only 2,025 quarters and 6g7 barrels respectively were:duty-paid from the 15th to thc 21st - instant, inclusive ; the rate on Wheat is now 22s 8d per quarter. on Flour I3s Rd per barrel. Though we still cannot report any thing like activity in the Wheat trade. a few purchases of free Foreign have been made, as well for the interior as for shipment to Ireland ; and, at yesterday's market, the full prices of Tuesday were realized. Flour has, throughout the week, been dull of sale : United States, which constitutes the great bulk of the stock, at 33s to 33s 6cl per barrel. The recent reduction in our prices for new Oats and Oatmeal has given us a somewhat more extended demand for both articles ; and, the greater part of the supply having been cleared off, a slight reaction has, during the last two days, taken place in their value. At Manchester, to-day, choice mealing parcels of Oats brought 2s lid to 35 per 451bs, Oatmeal '2ss Ga to 268 per load. Two or three cargoes of English new Barley have arrived. the quality generally fine. Some very choice Chevalier has brought 41s to 42s per quarter a little Irish new, kiln-dried, has sold for grinding at 4s 6d to 45 gd per 601bs. Old Beans, being scarce. command good prices a few Irish new well-conditioned have ap peared and sold at 46s per 4801bs. No change in the value of Peas• LONDON GAZETTE.-FRIDAY, OCT. 23.
