Mr. Thomas Milner Gibson has been soliciting the suffrages of the " liberals" (some of them voteless, we suspect) of Manchester, in the event of the retirement of Mr. Greig from the House of Commons. Mr. Gibson is a restless, fussy personage,'who would fain occupy a prominent place in the political world. He left the standard of Sir Robert Peel, because the right honourable baronet did not exhibit any disposition to make the member (as he was at that time) for Ipswich, his "Lieutenant," or his "Ancient." Mr. Gibson's expulsion from Parliament followed; and then his ob jection by Ipswich and by Cambridge. It is now doubtful whether he will succeed even with the " li berals" of Manchester. He would seem to be scarcely "whole hoggish" enough for them. They, accordingly, after the recent cross-examination to which he submit ted, moved as an " amendment" on a motion for a vote of thanks, the following proposition :—" That the meeting deferred expressing any opinion as to the fit ness, or otherwise, of Mr. Gibson, until he had more fully explained his political sentiments." Poor Mr. Gibson ! We fear that many constituen cies, besides the constituency of Manchester, will yet " defer expressing an °pink)); in favour of his fitness," to sit in Parliament ! Yet Mr. Gibson is not a_scru• pulous person either. He is only unfortunate, we sup pose—the "unlucky Joe" of the world of politics ! We can scarcely, indeed, understand why the " libe rals" of Manchester should boggle at accepting his prof fered services—for it appears that he is willing (after due pressing) to swallow any pledges that may be pro posed to him. The following report of the cross exa mination to which he was subjected proves that his powers of deglutition are (to say the least) of a re spectable order : " Mr. Thomas Gasquine wished to know to what ex tent Mr. Gibson would favour the extension of the suffrage ? " Mr. Gibson said he should decline pledging him self to any definite extension of the suffrage ; particu larly whilst the representation was so unfairly and so unequally divided as at present. " Mr. Gasquoine next asked if Mr. Gibson was in favour of shortening the duration of Parliaments ? " Mr. Gibson said he thought seven years too long, and one too short. His opinion inclined to a nominal four years' but virtual three years' duration. " Mr. Gasquoine asked if he would vote for the abo lition of 'church rates ? " Mr. Gibson thought, after the principles and opi nions he had expressed, there could be but little doubt that he would vote for the abolition of church-rates. " Mr. Gasquoine asked, if a bill were brought into the House of Commons for the total and immediate repeal of the corn laws, whether he would support it, even though opposed by ministers ? " Mr. Gibson said that the mode would not be bring ing in a bill, but by moving for a committee. He should certainly vote for going into committee ; and if a resolution were proposed in committee that the corn laws ought to be repealed with every possible spced, he should vote for it. " Mr. Gasquoine asked if he would vote for the re duction of the civil-list expenditure and of the army ?, Mr. Gibson said he did not . like pledges, because he could not forsee consequences ; but if his conduct did not meet the approval of the electors of Manches ter, were he elected their representative, he should take the same course as at Ipswich, and speedily resign his trust. " Mr. Prentice would ask if Mr. Gibson, as the re presentative of the lmgest commercial and manufac turing community of the kingdom, would take a pro per station as a leader upon the corn laws in the House of Commons; and, if nobody else did, bring in a bill for the total and immediate repeal of those laws ? " Mr. Gibson again explained, that the course would not be by bill, but by committee; and if Mr. Villiers, who was the proper man to do it, did not, he (Mr. Gibson) would move a resolution in committee for the repeal of the corn laws with the least possible delay. " Mr. Prentice asked if he would bring in a bill to extend the right of voting to inhabitant householders ? " Mr. Gibson said, without an equality of represen tation throughout the country, he should decline to bring in such a bill; viewing such a measure as at tended with great danger, by placing political power in the hands of a dependent class, at the mercy of the wealthy. _ _ " Mr. Prentice next asked if Mr. Gibson would bring in a bill for the re-distribution of seats, the vote by ballot, and household suffrage ? "Mr. Gibson repeated he should decline to pledge himself to any definite extension of the suffrage, or to any particular course or proposal that might prevent his own discretion. " Mr. Prentice asked if he would vote for the ex clusion of the bishops from the House of Lords ? " Mr. Gibson was inclined to think that he should vote for such a proposition." . . . . . squeamishness indicated by this coy response is scarcely worth a " liberal" and a " philosopher" of the stamp of Mr. Thinnas Milner Gibson. Pity it were, should such excess of delicacy cost him his elec tion ! " Exclude the bishops from the House of Lords !" Why, of course, Mr. Milner Gibson would vote for that proposition—as he would vote for the ex clusion of all the members of the peerage from the upper house, providing such a vote might introduce Thomas Milner Gibson into the lower ! The corn laws, too !—of course Mr. Gibson will vote (when he shall have the opportunity) for a repeal of the corn laws. He is too good a " liberal" not to desire the subversion of native industry :—he may, perhaps, owe a slight grudge, moreover, to the independent farmers who threw him out of the representation of Ipswich, and prevented him from being returned for the town of Cambridge ! Let us hope, therefore, that Mr. Mil ner Gibson and the "liberals" of Manchester may yet understand each other's merits. They are assuredly well fitted to be mutually useful! RECEIVING LETTERS FOR STEAMERS The followinz is the copy of a letter recently received by the agent, at Portsmouth, of the British Queen steam-vessel, from the Solicitor to the Postoffice _ " Srn,—Her Majesty's Postmaster-General has received information, that large numbers of letters, intended for per sons residing in America, are constantly forwarded to and collected by you, at Portsmouth, as agent of the British Queen steamer, for the purpose of being despatched by that vessel to New Vork. I have to inform you, that the Acts of Ist Vic., c. 33, and Ist Vic., c. 36, expressly forbid, under heavy penalties, the collection of letters for the purpose of being sent otherwise than by the post. " Many of such letters are, probably, forwarded, by per sons of whom you have no knowledge, for the purpose of evading the ship-letter rates of postage; and, to put a stop to a practice so injurious to the Revenue, I would suggest, that such letters be sent by you to the Postoffice, in order that the parties may be called on to pay the postage.-1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, " M. B. PEACOCK, Solicitor. " To the Agent of the British Queen steamer, Ports mouth." The British Queen, steam-vessel, belongs to the British and American Steam Navigation Company, and conveys pas sengers, goods, and letters to and from New York. The port of departure is London. She anchors off Black wall, in the River Thames, and takes in her passengers both in the river and also off Southampton, from whence she fi nally starts. The President, steam-ship, belonging to the same com pany, starts from Liverpool, which is her port of departure. The company have an office in London ; and, in this of fice, a bag is suspended for the receipt of letters addressed to New York or any part of the United States. This bag is put on board the British Queen vessel in the river. _ The company's agent at Southampton, in like manner, re ceives letters delivered to him there, and sends them on board the vessel when :411e arrives at Southampton. A bag is also suspended in the company's office in Liver pool, for the receipt of letters to be despatched by the Pre sident. By the act Ist Vic., c. 33, s. 2, " Letters sent out of the United Kingdom by a private vessel (not being a packet boat*) are exempted from the exclusive privileges of the Post-office." Then follows this clause : " But nothing herein contained shall authorise any person to make a col lection of such expected letters, for the purpose of sending them in the mariner hereby authorised." By this act, there fore, it appears, that letters may be legally sent and de spatched by the British Queen to New York or any part of the United States; and it would also appear, that letters may be "received" for the British Queen;• and, althou g h the act does not authorise " the " collection" of such letters, yet it does not contain any words of prohibition or any penalty for collecting. By the Ist Vie., c. 3G, s. 2, it was enacted, " That every person who shall convey, otherwise than by the post, a letter not exempted from the exclusive privilege of the Postmaster.. General, shall, for every letter, forfeit five pounds ; and every person who shall be in the practice of so conveying letters, not so exempted, shall, for every week during which the prac tice shall be continued, forfeit one hundred pounds. Arid every person who shall perform, otherwise than by the post, any services incidental to conveying letters from place to place, whether by receiving, or by taking up, or by collect ing, or by ordering, or by despatching, or by carrying, or by re-carrying, or by delivering a letter, not exempted from the exclusive privilege of the Postmaster-General, shall forfeit, for every letter, five pounds, and for every week of conti nuing the practice, one hundred pounds. This clause expressly prohibits both the receipt and collec tion of letters not exempted; the first expression being in its nature passive, and the other active. Then follows, in the same section, " And every person who shall wake a collection of exempted letters for the purpose of cuoienyeying or sending them otherwise than by the post, or by post, shall forfeit for every letter £5, and for every week's continuance of the practice £100." It is obvious that this part of the enactment is expressly directed against the practice to which we have above adverted, and the question is, whether the words are sufficient for the purpose. Ify the 2d and 3d Victoria, c. 52, s. 10, a penalty is imposed on every mast er , outward bound, who shall refuse to takea post letter-bag, te n d ere d to him by an officer of the Postoffice.

This essay A MODERN ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE The subjoined narrative, published in a late number of Chambers' Journal, is stated to be translated from a foreign newspaper. It is necessary to remind the reader, that the island of Mauritius, appertaining at this day to the English, was originally colonised by the French, and that the popula tion yet consists in a great measure of that nation, to whom, by a formal treaty between the powers concerned, their anci ent laws and usages were preserved without any material alterations. About ten or twelve months ago, the Sieur Clodomir Fre nois, a rich merchant of the island, was found dead and fright fully disfigured in his own habitation. His body was disco vered lying on the floor, with the head and face mutilated by means of a pistol, and all doubt as to the cause of the catas trophe was dispelled by the discovery of the fatal weapon by the side of the corpse, and also of a paper in the handwriting of the deceased. This paper contained the following words : —" I am ruined !—a villain has robbed me of twenty-five thousand livres sterling ; dishonour must be my portion, and I cannot await or survive it. I leave to my wife the task of distributing among my creditors the means which remain to us ; and I pray that God, my friends, and my enemies , may pardon my self-destruction! Yet another minute, and I shall be in eternity ! (Signed) CLODOMIR FRENOIS." Great was the consternation caused by this tragic event, which was the more unexpected as the loss alluded to in the note had never been made public. The deceased had been held in great esteem over the colony as a man of strict ho nour and probity, and was universally lamented. His at tached widow, after endeavouring faithfully to fulfil his last wishes, found her grief too overpowering to permit her longer to mingle with the world, and took the resolution of conse crating her remaining days to the services of religion. Two months after the sad end of her husband, she entered a convent, leaving to a nephew of the late husband, a physician, the distribution of the effects of Frenois among his creditors. A minute examination of the papers of the defunct led to the discovery of the period at which the unfortunate mer chant had been robbed ; and this period was found to corre spond with the date of the disappearance of a man named John Moon, long in the employment of Frenois. Of this man, on whom supicion naturally fell, nothing could be learned on inquiry ; but shortly after the division of the .late merchant's property, Moon reappeared in the colony. When taken up and examined respecting the cause of his flight, he stated that he had been sent to France by his master to re cover certain sums due to the merchant there, in which mis sion he had been unsuccessful ; and he further averred, that, if Clodomir Frenois, in his existing correspondence, had thrown any injurious suspicions upon him (Moon) the whole was but a pretext to account for deficiencies of which the merchant himself was the sole cause and author. This decla ration, made by a man who seemed to fear no inquiry, and whose worldly circumstances remained to appearance the same as they had ever been, had the effect of silencing, if it did not satisfy, the examittators ; and the affair soon fell, in a great measure, out of the public recollection. Things•remained for a short time in this condition, when, one morning, Mr. Win. Burnett, principal creditor of. the late Clodomir Frenois, heard *knocking at his gate at a very early hour. He called up one of his servants, who went down and opened the door, and immediately returned with the intelligence that a stranger. who seemed desirous of keep ing his person concealed, wished to speak with Mr. Burnett in private. Mr. Burnett rose, threw on his dressing-gown, and descended to the parlour. He saw there a stranger, of tall person, seated in an easy and familiar attitude upon a sofa, with a number of the Morning Post in his hand. The back of the visitor was turned to Mr. Burnett as he entered. Rather surprised to see a stranger conduct himself so like an old friend of the house, Mr. Burnett said aloud, " Sir, may I beg to know your business with me ?" The stranger turned round, and advanced to salute his host warmly and courteously. Mr. Burnett started hack, and ut tered a loud exclamation of :surprise and alarm. Well he might ' • for before his eyes stood his friend and debtor, Clo domir Frenois, whom he had beheld, nearly a year before, a mutilated corpse, and whom he himself had followed to the grave ! What passed at that interview between Mr. Burnett and his strange visitor, remained for the time a secret. Mr. Burnett was observed to issue several times, pale and agi tated, from his dwelling, and to visit the magistrate charged with the conduct of the criminal processes of the colony. In the course of that day, while John Moon was regaling him self with tea under the palm-trees of his garden, along with a Circassian female whom he had bought some time previously, he was arrested and taken to prison by the officers of justice. On the following day, he was brought before the criminal court, accused of robbing the late Clodomir Frenois, the crime being conjoined with breach of trust and violence. Moon smiled at the charge, with all the confidence of a man who had nothing to fear. The judge having demanded of him if he confessed the crime, the accused replied, that the charge was altogether absurd ; the clear testimony was ne cessary to fix such a delict upon him ; and that, so far from there being any such evidence producible, neither the widow of the deceased, nor any one person in his service, had ever beard the pretended robbery even once mentioned by Frenois during his life. • " Do you then affirm your innocence ?" repeated the judge gravely, after hearing all that the other had to say. " I will avouch my innocence," replied Moon, " even be-. fore the body of my late master, it that be necessary. [Such a thing often took place under the old colonial law.] " John Moon," said the judge, in a voice broken by some peculiar emotion, " It is before your late master that you will have now to assert your innocence; and may God make the truth appear !" A signal from the judge accompanied these words, and immediately a door opened, and Clodomir Frenois, the sup posed suicide, entered the court. He advanced to the bar with a slow and deliberate step, having his eye calmly but sternly fixed on the prisbner, his late servant. A great sen sation was caused in the court by his appearance. Uttering shrieks of alarm and horror, the females present tied from the spot. The accused fell on his knees in abject terror, and shudderingly confessed his guilt. For a time no voice was heard but his. However, as it became apparent that a living man stood before the court, the advocate for the prisoner gained courage to speak. He demanded that the identity of the merchant be established, and the mystery of his existence explained. He said that the court should not be biassed by what might prove to be a mere accidental likeness between a person living and one deceased, and that such an avowal as that of the prisoner, extracted in a moment of extraordinary terror, was not to be held of much weight." " Before being admitted here as accuser or witness," continued the advo cate, addressing the resuscitated merchant, " prove who and what you are, and disclose by what chance the tomb, which so lately received your body, mangled by bullets, has given up its tenant, and restored you to the world in life and health !" The tirm appeal of the advocate, who continued steadfast to his duty under circumstances that would have closed the lips of most men, called forth the following narrative from Clodomir Frenois ;—" My story may be soon told, and it will suffice to establish my identity, When I discovered the robbery committed by the accused, he had then lied from the island, and I speedily saw that all attempts to retake him would prove fruitless. I saw ruin and disgrace before me, and came to the resolution of terminating my life before the evil day came. On the night on which this determination was formed, I was seated alone iu my private chamber. I had written the letter which was found on my table, and had loaded my pistol. This done, 1 prayed forgiveness from my Maker for the act of despair 1 was about to commit. The end of the pistol was at my head, and my finger on the lock, when a knock at the outer door of the house startled me. I concealed the weapon, and went to the door. A man enter ed, whom I recognised to be the sexton of the parish in which I lived. He bore a sack on his shoulders, and in it the body of a man newly buried, which was destined for my nephew, the physician, then living with me. The scarcity of bodies for dissection, as the court is aware, compels those who are anxious to acquire skill in the medical profession to procure them by any possible secret means. Time sexton was at first alarmed at having met me. Did my nephew request you to bring this body ?' said I. ' No,' replied the warm ; but I knew his anxiety to obtain one for dissection, and took it upon me to come and offer him this body. For mercy's sake,' continued the sexton, ' do not betray me, sir, or I shall lose my situation and my family's bread.' While the man was speaking, a strange idea entered my mind, and brought to my despairing bosom hopes of conti nued life and recovered honour. I stood for a few minutes absorbed in thought, and then, recollecting myself, I gave two pieces of gold to the resurrectionist, the sum which he had expected. Telling him to keep his own counsel, and that all would be well, I sent him away, and carried the body to my cabinet. The whole of the household had previously been sent out of the way on purpose, and I had time to carry. into execution the plan which had struck me. The body was fortunately of the same station as myself, and like me in complexion. I knew the man ;he had been a poor offender, abandoned by his family. " Poor relic of mortality !" said I, with tears in my eyes, " nothing which man may do can now injure thee ; yet pardon me if I rudely disfigure thy lifeless substance. It is to prevent time rain of not one, but twenty families ! And should success attend my attempt, I swear that thy children shall be my children; and, when my own hour comes, we shall rest together in the tomb to which thou shalt be borne before me !' At this portion of the merchant's narrative, the most lively interest was excited in the court, and testified even by tears from many of the audience. Frenois thus proceeded :—" I then stripped off my clothes, and dressed the body in them. This accomplished, I took up the pistol, and with a hand more reluctant than when I had applied it to my own person, I fired it close to the head of the deceased, and at once caused such a disfigurement as rendered it impossible for the keenest eye to detect the substitution which had been made. " Choosing the plainest habit I could get. I then dressed myself anew, shaved off the whiskers which I was accustomed to wear, and took other means to alter and disguise my ap pearance, in case of being subjected by any accident to the risk of betrayal. Next morning saw me on board a French vessel on my way to a distant land—the native country of my ancestors. Tire expectations which had led me to the execu tion of this scheme were not disappointed. I knew that John Moon, the man who had robbed me, and who now stands at the bar of this court, had formed connections in this island, which would in all probability bring him back to it as soon as the intelligence of my death gave him the promise of security. In this I have not been disappointed. I have been equally fortunate in other respects. While my unworthy servant remained here in imaginary safety, I have been successful in discovering time quarter in which, not daring at first to betray here the appearance of wealth, he bad lodged the whole of the stolen money. I have brought it with me, and also suf ficient proofs, supposing his confession of this day to be set aside altogether, to convict him of the crime with which he stands charged. • By the same means," continued Clodomir Frenois, with a degree of honourable pride in which all who heard him sympathised, " will i be enabled to restore my family to their place in society, and to redeem the credit of a name on which no blot was left by those who bore it before me, and which, please God, I shall transmit unstained to my children's children. _ _ _ John Moon, whose guilt was thus suddenly and strangely laid bare to the world, did not retract the confession which he had made in the extremity of his terror ; and, without separating, the court sentenced him to confinement for life in the prisons of the colony. The news of Clodomir' Frenois's reappearance spread rapidly, and the high esteem in which his character was held led to an universal rejoicing on the occasion. He was ac companied from the court to his home by a dense multitude, who welcomed him with prolonged shouts. It would be vain to attempt any description of the feelings of the wife, who thus saw restored to her the beloved being for whose sake she had quitted the world. She was released from her ecclesiastical vows, and rejoined her husband, no more to part till the grave really claimed one or other of them as its due. BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.—Mr. Phillips, the vocalist, was violently assaulted and robbed in the neighbourhood of the town, on Wednesday evening. His services not being required in the performances at the theatre that evening, he was enjoying a walk between eight and nine o'clock, at a place called Sparkbrook, in the direction of the London road, when he was met by thr " ee men, who, fr om th e i r d ress, appeared to be " navigators or labourers employed upon railways, who jostled against and knocked him down. Mr. Phillil s being possessed of considerable muscular power, on recovering from the blows, succeeded in beating two of the villains off, but the third tripped him up and placed his knee upon his cheat, while the others succeeded in rifling hi s pockets, from which they took a purse containing about six sovereigns, and instantly decamped. Mr. Phillips had on a military frock coat at the time, tightly buttoned to the throat, the breast of which was torn open. The robbers did not. succeed in obtaining possession of a valuable watch which he had about him at the time. It is gratifying to be able to state that Mr. Phillips was able to attend the performances on Fri day morning. No trace has since been discovered of the robbers. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY Louis Napoleon's stud of horses, which were seized at Boulogne, were sold by auction there on Friday last. Some of them, of well known pedigree, are on their way to Lon don, and two are entered to compete for the Kingsdown cup of £lOO value. MURDER OF A SERVANT. - Thr Gazette de Liege states, that a few days ago, an Englishman, named Rising, living at Marche, had a violent altercation with his servant, and was carried so far by his passion as to seize a knife, and plunge it several times in the body of the victim. His wife and sis ter endeavoured to prevent him from committing this crime ; but he was deaf to their entreaties, and the cries of the un fortunate man, who was so badly wounded as to expire the next evening. Early in the morning, Rising had fled from Marche, and had made his escape through Liege. He had formerly travelled for the house of Stevens and Vander nerchem of Brussels. The unfortunate servant has left a widow and two children. The Havre Journal mentions the loss of the Cadiz packet to Havannah, at the entrance of the old Bahama channel. The date of the accident is •not mentioned, but the letter from Havannah which brought the news was written on the 20th ult. There were 80 passengers on board, of whom only 20 were saved by means of a raft.—Galignani's Messenger. The king of the French has just conferred the order of the Legion of Honour upon Capt. Plucket, of Dunkirk. It ap pears from the report of the services of this officer, who is now 81 years of age, that during the late war, when he com manded a privateer, he destroyed 48 vessels of the enemy, took 54 guns, made 500 prisoners, and received four wounds. TEXAS.—An extract from the Courrier of Salverton, of the 12th of August, announces that they had received an ac count from Matagorda, dated the 9th instant, stating that a corps of 2500 Mexican and Cherokee Indians had invaded Texas and burned the small towns of Vittoria, Dimmits, and Luineville. A captain and a major had been killed, and the wife of the former carried off. DREADFUL FIRE AT DEVONPORT. PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OP THE ROYAL NAVAL ARSENAL- HALF A MILLION OF PROPERTY DESTROYED (From the Devonport Telegraph.) At half-past four this morning, (Sunday,) an alarm was Riven to the superintendent of the dock-yard police, Lieut. Williams, that the Talavera line-of-battle ship, in the North Dock, was on fire. All hands were instantly on the spot, with the engines ; but so terrific were the flames as to give proof that the' total destruction of the ship was to succeed. The fire-bells were then rung, and the workmen, with the military, called in. The tide was high, and plenty of water consequently at hand ; but nothing appeared to subdue the fury with which the fire extended southwards, the direction in which the other docks and building-slips lay, as well as the rigging -house, sail-loft,.and all the store-houses. At a quarter to five o'clock, the Talavera was one mass of ,flame, whiCh, communicating with the shed over head, threatened to carry the fire. to the. extremity of the yard. The Minden line of battle ship, lying at the stern of the Talavera, which took fire a-head, 'at one time appeared in evitably doomed ; but the wind shifting ttpoint, and by-the most strenuous exertions of the engines, the progress of the flames astern was stopped ; but what appeared to be the cause of the prevention of this danger only carried it in another direction, as the roof of the shed adjoining took fire, and the dense volumes of smoke for a time appeared to choke the 'flame. Beneath this shedivere kept the figure-heads of some of the ships which, having borne the hrUnt of the battle, were after the peace broken up ; and these slight remembrances of their achievements were kept with a degree of pride. At the eastern end hung the flag of our inever-to-be-forgotten naval hero, Nelson, under which he fought the battle of Tra falgar; and opposite, the flag of Lord Exmouth at the battle of Algiers. An attempt was gallantly made by a young man to save them, but the tire was too fierce, and the attempt was given up for the safety of the party who made it. Speedily suc ceeding the firing of this shed,the one adjoining also took flame, in which was the Imogene frigate. This was also completely destroyed. To subdue the flames here appeared to be fruitless, and an attempt was made to prevent a furtler extension by playing the engines upon the building opposite, but without success, and the whole range, together with a large pile of timber under a shed, were in flames. Eight o'clock.—The tire is still burning, but will now be confined merely to the consumption of the timber and materials. The loss; at a rough estimate, is said to ,be from £400,000 to £500,000 ; this appears to be an extreme amount, but that the destruc tion is immense there can be no doubt. No account can yet be collected as to the origin of the fire ; no party has been at work on board the ship in which it originated for several weeks ; at four o'clock there was nothing like fire seen, and at half-past five the ship was in a flame fore and aft. The strictest inquiry will no'doubt be instituted as to the cause, and, for the credit of the executive, it is to be hoped that no want of caution from a false economy has led to this severe national loss. FURTHER PARTICULARS (From the Deronport Teleyraph of Sunday, the 27th.) The fire is still burning in the remains of the hulls of the Talavera and Imogene, but there is no fear of its spreading further. An inquiry has been instituted into the rumour of two persons hiiving . been seen by the sentry to leave the Ta lavera after the working hours of the yard. The whole of the guard have been examined by the authorities of the dock yard, and it is 'ascertained beyond doubt that the persons seen were the . offieers of "the yard, whose duty it was to see everything safe before leaving the establishment in the even ing. Their report was delivered " all safe." The post of the nearest sentinel was . within thirty yards of the bow of the ship ; he was not sensible of any smoke near until the alarm was given by the police. A second rumour has gained ground since noon that a person who was early on board, saw marks on the deck as if discoloured by the explosion of a train of gunpowder. Two despatches have, during the day, been sent off to the lords commissioners of the admiralty. Admiral Superintendent Warren has not left the spot for the day even to take refreshment. The greatest precautions have been taken to prevent a second outbreak. SEPTEMBER 28.--,The fire in the Arsenal was not entirely got under until late last night, and the engines are now (half past eight, Monday morning) being brought out. It is im possible to say the amount of damage—certainly not so great as stated in my letter of yesterday, as the Talavera was an old ship, and the estimate of her worth, if sold by auction, the usual mode of disposing of ships when unserviceable, is not above £20,000, though to replace her with a new ship of the same class would be from £70,000 to £BO,OOO. The other vessels must be estimated in the same way, but the loss of stores is immense. The sheds, covered as they were with painted and tarred paper, cost from £lO,OOO to £12,000 each ; the cost, when covered with copper, is from £30,000 to £40,000 each. The granite 'facings of the docks are split to pieces. The fire was providentially stopped at the very point where the destruction would have been the greatest; as property amounting in value to upwards of £5,000,000 was deposited in the very building adjoining that where its pro gress was terminated. Those best informed are yet disposed to place the act to the account of an incendiary. It is ex pected one of the lords commissioners of the admiralty will come down to hold a court of inquiry. It appears by a correspondence published in the London papers, that Messrs. Coutts and Co. are about to assume the banking business of Messrs. Hammersley and Co. whose transactions have been suspended owing to the decease of the only surviving partner of the firm. The Rev. W. Crotty, of Birr, (formerly a Roman catholic priest, but now a m►nister of the presbyterian church in Ireland), has been deputed by the presbytery of Dublin, to visit the presbyterian congregations in the south of Ireland, and to make some important statements relative to the origin and progress of the reformation at Birr. The radicals of Leicester have obtained permission of the magistrates to allow a deputation of their body to visit Vin cent, Edwards, and Sherrard, the chartists in Gakham Gaol, and to present them with a flitch of bacon. These prisoners have five months longer to remain in gaol. Frogrnore Lodge, which was the private property of her Majesty the late Queen Charlotte, was left to her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta for her life, and at her death was to become the property of the Princess Mary, now Duchess of Gloucester. Mr. Norris, the American engineer, has shipped five loco-. motive engines from New York to England, for the use of the Gloucester and Birmingham railway. These engines have greater power than the English, and cost about £lBOO each.— Worcester Chronicle. COMMITTAL OF THE EARL OF CARDIGAN BY THE WANDSWOUTH MAGISTRATES.—On Wednesday, the ma gistrates of the Wandsworth bench entered into a further in vestigation of the charge against the Earl of -Cardigan, Capt. Douglas, and Capt. Wainwright, of having committed a felony, the former as principal, and the two latter gentlemen as accessories, the felony being the act of shooting at Capt. Tuckett, with intent to murder him. - Mr. Adolphus attended for the•defendant, and after an inquiry which lasted several hour's, the chairman said, it was theirpainful duty to commit all the gentlemen to take their trial. Upon the application of Mr. Adolphus the court consented to admit Lord Cardi gan to bail, himself in £2OOO, and two sureties in £lOOO each. The other two gentlemen were ordered to enter into personal recognizances of £5OO each, and two sureties of £250. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.—On Saturday morning last, upon the arrival of the mail-train at •the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway, a considerable ex citement was created by two persons of highly respectable appearance desiring the conductor, immediately on their alighting on the platform, to open the door of one of the first class carriages, which they asserted contained a man who had shot at and wounded his uncle, a wealthy gentleman, resid ing at Dorchester, in Oxfordshire. The request was speedily complied with ; and on the suspected person leaving the ve hicle with the rest of the passengers, he was rushed upon by his two pursuers, who held him until the arrival of some constables, when a severe and desperate struggle ensued. The accused was overpowered, and properly secured ; and on his being searched by Collard, the chief officer of the com pany's police, there were found in his possession two horse pistols, heavily loaded with powder and ball, a sword stick, and about 30s. in gold and silver. Collard explained to him the nature of the charge preferred, and after cautioning him with regard to anything which he might then state being hereafter used as evidence against him, he, in a few words, asserted his entire innocence. He was handcuffed, and shortly afterwards conveyed away in custody. The facts of the attempted assassination are these :—The prisoner, whose name is William Davey, and whose appearance is that of a military officer, has, since attaining his majority (he is now ouly 23 years of age), squandered away a good fortune, and has constantly been living at a large and fashionable hotel in the vicinity of Bond-street. About a fortnight back he ar rived at Dorchester, and, after importuning his uncle, Mr. John Davey, for money, the latter presented him with £4O, at the same time giving }inn some good advice as to his fu ture conduct. On Friday evening last, between eight and nine o'clock, as the uncle alluded to, who is a guardian of the poor of his parish, was returning to his house through his own garden, having attended a vestry meeting at a short distance off; he heard a noise which he imagined to be the explosion of a percussion cap, and almost at the same mo ment a pistol, or some other description of fire-arms, was discharged at him, and some hard substance struck with great force against his breast. He was not wounded, although se verely bruised; but had he been walking with his face to wards a laurel tree, behind which his intended assassin was, to the best of his belief, concealed, he would, in all probabi lity, have been killed upon the spot. In a state of great fright, and imagining at the moment that he had received some serious injury, •he ran in doors, crying, " Murder, help ;" and on the circumstance being detailed by him to his brother and a neighbour, the most diligent inquiry was promptly instituted by them, from which they learned that a person answering the description of the prisoner had, on the same evening, been seen to come from the direction of his uncle's premises'. Suspecting that he would make his way up to London by the railway, Mr. Davey's brother and his friend went in pursuit, and on their arrival at Reading, found him in the act of stepping into one of the first-class carriages, his boots and trousers indicating, by their dirty condition, that he had walked many miles. Deeming it pru dent not to capture him then, owing to the confusion and bustle that prevailed, they took their s?ats in another car riage, and on reaching Paddington gave the prisoner into custody, as previously stated. Collard conveyed hin away by the next down train, and on the same evening he under went an examination upon t h e c h ar ge of " shooting at with intent to kill," before Mr. Ashford (chairman of the Oxford quarter sessions), at the residence of the intended victim : and after an inquiry which lasted several hours, he was re manded till Saturday next. At ten o'clock on the same night Collard lodged him in Oxford Castle Gaol. The pri soner is heir-at-law to the uncle, at whose decease he would be entitled to a very considerable property.

For good fresh shipments of Belfast and other favourite Butters, Ines is easily obtainable, and some there are win require 102 s. We have heard that Os is now the limit for pickle, seconds, but believe more than Ws to 94s has not been snlanitte, to by exporters. There is a moderate demand for Beef and Pork as regards the former, a known, respectable. and favourite brand " Boshell," can, we understand, be had free on board in Dublin, a I las per tierce. Heavy Bacon commands any price, and repoi states that 60s is obtained for Belfast. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, SEPT, 30, The late sales held here, and the forthcoming London auction have tended to produce a dull inquiry for Foreign Wool, withou having in any degree affected prices. Scotch Wools were in mucl better request, and a good amount of business was transacted u the latter, at full rates. Holders, in some instances, demanded RI advance, but no actual improvement was established. Importer this week : Scotch, 1057 bags; Foreign, 851 bags ; imported pre viously this year : Scotch, 7690 bags : Foreign, 43,899 bags ; total — Scotch, 8747 bags ; Foreign, 44,70 bags. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SEPT. 29 Since Tuesday last the imports of Wheat and Flour from the United States and Canada, and from foreign ports in Europe, have been to a pretty fair extent, and on all which duty has been paid for home use ; but from Ireland and Coastways the arrivals of all Grain, Flour and Oatmeal, have been very moderate; during the past week very heavy showers have fallen all over this district, and to the northward, almost every day and night. greatly impeding the crops from being secured in good order, a very great portion of which throughout Yorkshire and all the northern districts of this kingdom, and also of Ireland, still remains in stooks in the field, and must now be receiving very serious injury in quality, from the state of the weather for several weeks past.. We have experienced but a very moderate demand during the past week for Wheat and Flour at about our last quotations, which have been barely supported, in some instances a small reduction was submitted to on Wheat, on all other articles there was ❑o change, except on Oats and Oatmeal, of which sales were made at a further decline of Id to Id per 45 lb on the former, and 33 to 4S per 140 lb on the latter; a large cargo of Archangel Oats was sold at 3s td to 3s 3d per 45 lb. . . . _ The duty on W heat from foreign ports has, as anticipated, been increased since Friday to 13s 8d per qr, and to as Yid tier barrel on Flour, and likewise on Oats to 3s 3d per qr ; and it has decreased on Barley, Indian Corn and Buck Wheat to 10s 10d per qr ; on other Grain no alteration ; we abstain from quoting bonded Grain which may be had for export at the prices free, deducting the duty. At this day's market, there was a very thin attendance, and. in. fluenced by the depression in Mark.laue yesterday. we experienced very limited sales for Wheat at in proportion to qualities, a decline of Id to 2d per 70 ib ; for Flour at barely our last quotations for Oats and Oatmeal at fully the redqction above.m4ntioned, and for all other articles at. a small decline. . . . .
