B. F. Angell, U. S. consul, has e °M cially received by the King, to whom he '4144 B Peech, in which he said that the Hawaiian t .of foreign affairs had informed him that the course of his predecessor in office had given entire approbation to the Hawaiian government, and he hoped that he might be equally successful. Mr. Angell assured the king of the continued friendly feeling of the United States government and people, and that they would preserve invio late the treaty stipulations. The king replied in appropriate terms, thanking Mr. Angell for these assurances. By the arrival of the steamship Black Warrior we have received advices from Havana to the 29th ult. The Cuban planters had been thrown into a great state of excitement in consequence of the groundless rumors relative to England's project to Africanise the island, by abolishing slavery, through the apprenticeship system. The planters well know that such a scheme would be a death blow to their prosperity, and soon reduce the con dition of Cuba to a level with Jamaica and Hayti. Six more American seaman had been arrested and lodged in prison, on a charge of having been en gaged on board the bark Jasper, which the autho rities allege was concerned in the slave trade. The advices from Tampico supply us with ex tracts from the Eco, which complains in earnest terms of the effect of the new tariff, in preventing the import of foreign breadstuffs. It declares that there is so little flour in the market in consequence, that it has risen to a high price, and that it is of such bad quality that the bread made from it— further deteriorated as this is by the wet weather which has been prevailing in the city of late—is not only unpleasant, but it is positively injurious to health. The 800, consequently, makes a strong direct appeal to the supreme government and 'the authorities, to take immediate steps to relieve the citizens from the difficulty which the new tariff has imposed upon them, by facilitating the introduction of foreign breadstuffs, as they cannot otherwise be readily obtained. Later advices from Port-au-Prince report the yellow fever as prevailing there with great severity. The cholera is said to be committing dreadful havoc among the inhabitants of Yucatan ; in the town of Moyda, at last accounts, they were dying at the rate of one hundred a day. The Board of Health of the city of Mobile have officially announced that the yellow fever had ceas ed to prevail there as an epidemic.

During these twelve weeks Mo bile lost eleven per cent. of her population, ten per cent. being from yellow fever. COMMERCIAL. The Commercial news by the Niagara is not by any means of a favourable character. From Buffalo we have the announce ment of the failure of Pitchin's Bank. It was brought about by large loans to the Buffalo and New York City railroad Co., whose affairs, under the stringency of the money market, are severely embarrassed. Mr. Pitchin, the President of the Bank, is also President of the Railroad, and has assumed liabilities, which in consequence of the difficulty in disposing of the bonds and securities of the road, has resulted in the discredit of the bank bills, which are, however, abundantly secured with the banking department. It is believed Mr. Pitchin's large private fortune will be devoted to prevent the loss to the depositors. The notes of the Bank of Massillon, Ohio , had been dis credited a t Ci nc i nna ti. The New York Herald "The failures reported yesterday, of the Oswe g o Bank, New York ; the Bank of Massillon, Ohio, and a bank in Con necticut, were caused directly by their connection with ope rations in the different classes of railroad securities. The taiture of .uwigat, jun., tue oamler, uroxer, and railroad constructor, carried the institutions named above down with him. They mere all in the same boat, and the same wave swamped the party. It is reported that Mr. Dwight has hypothecated in different banks in Wall-street upwards of two hundred thousand dollars of bills issued by the Connec ticut bank referred to, all of which must now come out. This gives a pretty good idea of how deeply some of the country banks are involved in the system recently adopted for the extension of internal improvements. That the country banks generally, have been largely extended in their operations, is shown by the way they have drawn down their deposits in this city. They have required every dollar of their available means, to meet their liabilities as presented, and it is our impression that many of them are weak and shaky. The New York, Hornellsville, and Buffalo Railroad Com pany had suspended payment. Mr. Pratt, belonging to a forwarding house at Buffalo is also reported to have sus pended payment. His liabilities are said to be over two hundred thousand dollars. The effect of these financial dif ficultieslin the western part of the:state of New York it is feared will prove most disastrous. These and other failures had, as a matter of course, caused considerable inconvenience and depression in commercial circles, but there appears to be a strong feeling that the worst was known, and that every day would show an im provement. The last report of the New York stock mar ket says " there appeared to be some light breaking on the prolonged money gloom, on Saturday. The stock houses are, comparatively speaking, small borrowers on demand. Those who have still a heavy burden to bear in the way of hypothecation are not so frequently required to shift their loans. The dear rates on paper early in the week are scarcely sustained. There was more currency for prime names at 12 if) cent. The mercantile classes are growing exceedingly impatient of the continued bank contraction, and the peculiar exponents of the importing interest are throwing the whole blame upon the banks themselves." The stock market was rather lifeless on the speculative list. The railroads were Qto 1 per cent lower ; Reading especially weak at the close. In Canton, Transit, and the Coal Fancies, a fair amount of contracts were made. The 'rders for New York Central, Delaware, and Hudson, Pennsylvania Coal, at 111 for Central, 106, to 107 for De laware, and 106 for Pennslyvania coal. The Delaware stock is on the eve of a 6 per cent. semi-annual dividend, and the Pennsylvania company will declare in January. There was only a limited business done in exchange for remittance by the Niagara, and the quotations on London did not range higher than 1091, to 109 g.

Rye is going better. Sales were made of 1,200 bush., at 95c. to 951 c. per bush. Barley is without essential variation. Oats are less sought after, at 42c. to 44c. for Southern, for New-Jersey. 46c to 48c., for Pennsylvania, 47c. to 49c, for Canal and River 49c to 50c., for Canadian, and 50c. 51c. for "Western, per bush. Corn is still in brisk demand, and tending upwards. The day's business amounts to 57,000 bush., mostly bought by shippers at 77*c. to 79c. for unsound, 80c. to 81e. for Western mixed, 81c to 82c. fur round white and yellow and 82c. for northern and southern yellow, per bush. METALS.—No important alterations having occurred in this line, we need but report sales of 150 tons Scotch pig iron at $35, usual credit, per ton. NAVAL STORES.—Resin and tar remain as last noticed. This day's business in turpentine ocnsists of 1,000 brls. Crude at $5 per 280 lbs., and 200 brls. spirits do. at 69c per gallon.

There were sold 150 baskets olive, to arrive, at $ 25 ; and 3,500 gallons linseed, from store, at 69c. to 70c. per gallon. . . Pnovisforis.-:Pork is in lively demand, but not very buoyant prices. The day's sales include 400 brls. western, at $l5 75 to $l6 for mess, chiefly the lower rate ; and $l2 871 to $l3 for prime, per brl. Cut meats are unchanged. Lard still tends downwards. There were 400 brls. ordinary to strictly prime disposed of to-day, at 101 c. to 11 tc per lb. New beef is essentially unaltered. Some 180 brls. found buyers, at $6 to $6 25 for country prime ; $ll 50 to $l2 for country mess; $l3 to $l3 25 for city mess, and $l3 50 for repacked western do. per brl. Prime mess beef and beef hams are dull and somewhat nominal. Butter is in mode rate demand, at 12c. to 14c. for Canadian; 122 c. to 15c. for Ohio ; 16c. to 20c. for Western New York ; and 22c, to 25c. for Orange County per lb. Fair to prime cheese sells less quickly, at 9c. to 101 c. per pound, the export inquiry having become less active, though home dealers are buying pretty. THE PORK TRADE.-The Louisville (Ky.) Journal of the Ist instant says :-The hog trade appears just now to be the most exciting topic. The season has opened extraordinarily early, the number in pens being over 3,000 head, and there are some 8,000 to 9,000 head on the road hither. Messrs. Jackson, Hull, and Co., commenced killing yesterday. They had slaughtered about 1,200. We have reported contracts for several thousand head for November and December de livery at $4 87c. nett. The market has been unsettled for the last few days, and to embrace the views of buyers and sellers we quote $4 75c. to $5 nett, the inside rate being offered, and the outside price asked. The Cincinnati Price Current (a journal that has recently been much improved, and is nolv considered one of the best of its class in the land) of the 2d instant, remarks that "We are now upon the commencement of the pork-packing sea son. The hogs contracted for, for early delivery, are be ginning to arrive ; and on Monday about 1,500 head were slaughtered in this city and at Plainville. Yesterday, how ever, the temperature was a good many degrees too high for packing, and, until a change takes place, nothing further will be done, we presume. The first lot sold from the hooks' was disposed of on Monday at $5 25c. per 100 lbs. nett, slaughtering included, which makes the puce equal to $5 12'c. Green hams are selling at 7,1,c. to 72c-the latter rate for first deliveries. Sides are offered at 54c.-no buyers. Shoulders, nothing done. RICE.-There have been 200 tierces new sold at $4 50c. per 1001bs. TOBACCO.-Has not varied much. The day's business consists of 50 hhds. low-grade Kentucky at 6c. ; and 300 cases do. Ohio seed-leaf at sc. per lb. WHISKY.-Tends downward. Sales of 700 brls. Western and Prison transpired at 29c. to 30c., cash, closing at the lower rate per gallon. FREIGHTS.-To London, 2,500 brls. Flour were en gaged at 4s. 9d., and 31,000 do. at ss. For wheat, 17d. was asked. To Liverpool, about 10,000 to 15,000 bushels corn and wheat were enga g ed at 13d. to 13d.; 500 brls. flour at 3s. 9d., and 1,500 do., part to fill up, at 3s. 72d. To Havre, 3,600 bushels wheat were reported at 244 c. in ships' bags. Flour was at 90c. A vessel was engaged to load with naval stores for Newcastle, England, at 6s. CHARLESTON MARKETS.-For week ending Thursday, Nov. 3rd.-Cotton.-We give the following quotations, Liverpool classification, more particularly as relating to the transactions on Monday-prices since then having ruled easier, and in favour of buyers. MOBILE, Oct. 30th.-Cotton.-Holders are generally anxious and willing to sell, but receive little or no encou ragement from buyers. We are assured, in fact, that foreign limits are so very much under the present nominal asking rates, that orders cannot enter the market o.f. Aurtuer reductinr , It rin be betlll /rom our quotations below, that middling can be had at 84- cents, and good middling at 9 to ; yet these low rates- 1 to cents per lb. lower than - ast week's figures-there are few or no buyers. From 150 200 bales embrace the transactions of the week, taken for coastwise ports, and the market, we may remark, closes exceedingly dull. Bales.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15, 1853.—0ur markets are still depressed, owing to the scarcity and high price of money, as well as the heavy imports. Flour, however, has recovered from the extreme depression.

We have received the following additional news by telegraph, from our private correspondent in New York. NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 10th, 1853 Since the departure of the Niagara from Boston no political news of importance has transpired. The stock market has been more buoyant, and prices have had rather an improving tendency. Quotations generally, however, are not absolutely higher. There has been very little business done in foreign exchange, and the quotations on London stand at 109 k. The cotton market is steady, and prices firm. Money is easier, but the demand continuing active there is no change in the rate of interest. The steamer Franklin arrived here this morning from Southampton, and her ad vices have caused a further advance in the price of flour, and given an additional impetus to the move ments of exporters.

(From our Second Edition of Saturday.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING The heavy rains which have deluged the lower portions of Wallachia, rendering military opera tions impracticable, decided the Turkish comman der to postpone the expedition against Bucharest. Orders were therefore given to stop the move ment of the Ottoman forces, and those which were at Oltenitza recrossed the Danube in the greatest order, and without being disturbed by the enemy. Gortschalioff had concentrated his forces oppo site Oltenitza. The Paris paper Patrie says—" The Turks were retarded in their advance by the inundation of the Danube. They destroyed the quarantine building and works at Oltenitza. Despatch from. Gortschakoff, and accounts re ceived by the Austrian government, confirm these reports of the withdrawal of the Turks ; in the latter it is added - that the Turks had also retired from their position at Kararassalz and opposite Giur gevo. The Times contains Constantinople accounts of thesth, stating that the news of the success of the Turkish troops in Asia is confirmed. The son of Prince Gouriel and Colonel Clote, are among the prisoners sent to Constantinople. A portion of the English and French fleets was stationed close to the entrance into the Black Sea. The Porte has refused to grant authority for the exercise of his functions to the Consul-general appointed by Austria for the Danubian Principali ties. ST. PETERSBURGH Letters report further unfavourable movements in exchange, consequent upon the quotations from Odessa, which will cause a considerable amount of imperial to be sent from this country. A parcel from the Bank was despatched on Friday, via Hamburgh, and further sums will follow. LATEST PARTICULARS. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.—The Patrie announces that the Turks, being retarded in their advance on Bucharest by the inundation of the Danube, have decided on arresting their onward movement. After having destroyed the quarantine building and the works at Oltenitza, they have repassed the Danube without being molested by the enemy. The Turks successfully withstood the violent attack made on their position at Oltenitza, on the 11th, by the Russians. The Turks are firm in the island opposite Giurgevo. VIENNA, THURSDAY.—The Austrian Correspondenz says, " On the 13th, the Turks blew up their works at Oltenitza, and retired to Bulgaria.' It is officially declared that the corps of observa tion which is to be concentrated at Temesvar is for the purpose of securing the Austrian frontier as well as to maintain the principle of neutrality, VIENNA, FRIDAY EVENING —The Turks still occupy the islands opposite Giurgevo and Oltenitza. The Russians are firm in Krajova. VIENNA, Nov. 17.—The Russian Minister at Vienna has received the following telegraphic mes sage from Prince Gortschakoff, dated Bucharest, the 13th instant : "At the moment when measures were about to be executed against the establishment of the Turks on the left bank of the river, opposite Turtukai, they evacuated their position and retired to the right bank, keeping possession only of an island which lies between the two banks." The despatches received by the Austrian go vernment confirm the above, adding that the Turks had retired from their position at Kara salz, and from that which they occupied opposite Giurgevo. General Osten-Sacken's advanced guard had passed the Pruth, and he was expected at Bucharest on the 20th. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. s.—The new of the suc tcheesslaosfttdheespTauterhkiessh. tioop: t !r. i t is confirm 4 11 rec ,„ lo „ Leu by A• a d battalion of the Guards, P s attacked: on the 28th of October the Russian fort of Shefkatil. After an obstinate defence on the part of the garrison, the Turks carried the fort, in which they found 2,000 muskets and four pieces of artil lery. The son of Prince George Gouriel and Colonel Klott are among the prisoners, and have been sent to Constantinople. The British vessels Vengeance and Albion, and the French vessels Jupiter and Henri IV.. and eight steam-frigates, are at 13entos, close to the en trance into the Black Sea The Ottoman naval division which is to cruise in those waters consist of four frigates, two steamers, three corvettes, and two brigs. The vessel Mudjeddetie and two fri gates have lately joined the squadron. The Porte has refused to grant the exequatur to the consul-general appointed by Austria for the Danubian Principalities. 260 vessels loaded with corn passed by Constan tinople in the period from the 18th of October to the Ist of November. They came from the Black Sea. The Oest. Correspondenz of the 14th contains the following telegraphic despatch of the 9th, from Bu charest :—" For some hours the booming of artil lery has been heard, but it is uncertain whether it comes from Oltenitza or Giurgevo. All the Rus sian pontoons have been forwarded from Colen tira to Giurgevo. The Russians, to the number of seven or eight thousand men, are posted on a rising ground at Trateslhti (this should be Frs.- tesc hi), a place at about two hours distant (nine English miles) from Giurgevo. On the 9th the Russian head-quarters were at Budeschti, a place four hours distant from Bucharest. (The place in question is four hours distant from Oltenitza and six from Bucharest.) At Oltenitza the Turks have about 17,000 regular infantry, 3,600 irregular troops, and 4,000 artillerymen. It is believed that General Prim commands this corps until the arrival of the Hungarian revolutionary leader Klapka, who is said to be expected. We have further credible advices that General Soimon off, on the 9th, dislodged the Turks from the island near Giurgevo, of which they were in possession on the Bth. The Turkish corps at Kalafat, which is 24,000 strong, is commanded by Ismail Pasha. The Russians have 35,000 men at Budeschti. Gen. Budberg is expected at Bucharest." Commenting on this intelligence, the Vienna cor respondent of the Times remarks :—" This despatch bears an official stamp, and that part of it which refers to the expulsion of the Turks from the island near Giurgevo, would have been telegraphed last night, had not a hint been given me that later and contradictory news had been "received. Credible information was acquired this morning, and you will learn by my telegraphic despatch of this morn ing, that the Turks were in turn the conquered and the conquerors : in other words, that they im mediately retook the island which they had lost. We are still in the dark as to what has really taken place, but it is generally supposed that more than one battle has been fought since the Bth. That there was some sharp artillery practice at Giurgevo on the 9th is certain, and it is highly probable that on the 11th a violent collision took place near Oltenitza. As the Russians have 35,000 men con centrated at Budeschti, and the Turks but 24,000 at Oltenitza, it is generally expected that we shall within a few hours have a bulletin, announcing a complete victory on the part of the former; but it is probable that the 18,000 Turks at Kalafat will advance towards Krajova, which movement will necessitate Prince Gortzchakoff to despatch rein forcements to the right wing of his army. The Oest. Deutsche Post has news of the 10th from New (Turkish) Orsova, that a detachment of 500 horse had advanced from Kalafat to Wercserova, on the road to Krajova, to " annul" the order issued by the Russian commander, that no Wallachian should hold any communication with a Turk, under pain of death. By another letter of the same date from Widdin, we learn that in that Turkish fortress, which is under the command of Sami Pasha, mer cantile men, artisans, and even priests, are forced to work in the trenches. Day after day troops march through Widdin, and it is expected that in a short time, the Turkish corps at Kalafat will number 25,000 men." The same correspondent also indulges in the following speculations on Omar Pasha's future operations ; the correctness of which later tele graphic despatches would appear to be singularly verified :—" The scanty reports which have reached us during the last two days induce me to believe that the Turks, in the centre of their line of operation—from Rustchuck-Giurgevo to Silistria- Kalarasch—will for the moment act simply on the defensive, until the left wing in Lesser Wallachia, and the right wing on the Rassova-Hirsova-Matshin line of the Danube are got into position. As has been more than once remarked, the failure of the 1- q in the attempt to get possession of Giurgevo Cur,.., source of extreme annoyance to Omar must be a - • not admit of a doubt that an in:L- Pasha. It does __- I 'loe on the 11th, and as all portant affair took p_ - iv safely conclude that details are withheld, we mt., • - •ns for the Turks. the result was not disadvantage,— - it three days, It has been asserted here, for the lab. pasha, that Bucharest is in the hands of Oma. but this is so extremely improbable that you do well to give no credit to the report until you have direct information from me that such is the case. My private opinion as to the issue of war is unchanged. Without the material assistance of France and England, the Porte will not for any length of time be able to make head against Russia. Military men do not entirely condemn Omar Pasha's plan, but my common sense tells me that the Turkish army is in extreme jeopardy on the left bank of the river, Would it not have been wiser, after having dealt the Russians such a heavy blow at Oltenitza, to have made a simulta neous retrograde movement along the whole line of operation ?" We have already given the bulletin of Prince Gortschakoff relative to the affair of Oltenitza, and in which he boasts of a success in forcing the Turks to remain in their entrenchments, when the only object of his attack was to drive them out of them. The Cronstadt Gazette of the 7th is less modest than Prince Gortschakoff. It states that the Turks were defeated, and that the Russians remained masters of the field of battle. It also seems that the loss of the Russians near Oltenitza is larger than was at first supposed. There were not 600 killed and wounded, but 1,100. The number of killed alone was 500. . A letter, dated Paris, Friday night, seven o'clock, says :—Nothing is known at the Turkish embassy with respect to the reported defeat of the Turks, and the retreat of Omar Pasha to the right bank of the Danube, beyond the fact that a despatch has been received from Vienna which states the fact, and which adds that the Russians were 155,000 strong, and the Turks 70,000. Up to four o'clock no telegraphic despatch on the subject had been received from the Turkish ambassador at Vienna. SWITZERLAND, The elections for the executive council of the canton of Geneva have just taken place. The coun cil is composed of seven members. The following have been returned :—MM.

The following letter, giving an account of a most destruc tive fire, at Green Bay, Wisconsin, on the Ist instant, we find in the Milwaukie Morning News : About three o'clock this morning an alarm of fire aroused the citizens of this village from their slumbers. The wind was blowing violently, and in a direction to favor the flames. A fire was discovered in a wooden building in the rear of Mr. Harriman's store. From this it spread with astonish ing rapidity until nearly twenty-five large wooden buildings were reduced to ashes. By far the finest portion of the village of Green Bay is in ruins, and now presents a scene of wide-spread desolation. The lowest estimate that can be put on the property thus in an instant swept away, is $lOO,OOO, besides the inconve nience and trouble that will necessarily result from so disas trous a conflagration. At this moment it is impossible to give full particulars of all the losses, or to name all who have suffered. Among the principal ones are the following : Whitney's large warehouse filled with merchandise, flour, salt, provisions, and various other valuable articles, is burnt ; but a small part of what it contained is saved. The loss is not known, but it must have been great. Daniel H. Whit ney estimates his loss at $lO,OOO, while his father's, Daniel Whitney, must have been much greater, as all his papers, books, notes, deeds, mortgages, &c., were burnt. William Colburn had just received and opened his large stocks of fall and winter goods. All were destroyed. His loss is from $12,000 to $15,000. No insurance. D, Butler lost his entire stock of new goods. He was insured $26,000. His loss is about $9,000. Mr. Follett's book store was an entire loss—not a thing saved. Insured $l,OOO, loss $15,000. The office of the Green Bay Advocate was burned. All the presses, type and material of every description were de stroyed. The safe alone, containing the subscriptions and account-books, was pitched out of the windows and saved. Insured $7OOO, loss $1,500 to $2,000. S. H. Marshall had a heavy stock of fall and winter goods in his store. Hardly anything was got out. He had only $1,500 insurance. His loss is not less than $4,000. Most of his fine stock of groceries were unopened, but all was consumed. The drug store of Gen. A. H. Green was an entire loss, and without insurance. Mr. Green was sleeping in his store but he had only time to escape with barely sufficient clothing, to cover his body. Four hundred dollars in cash, principally in bills, were burnt. His loss is over $4,000. Mr. R. P. Herrman had just put in his store two thou. sand dollars worth of groceries, provisions, &c. All was destroyed, with no insurance. He was making preparationi to supply his lumbermen, but all is lost. The grocery and provision store of Mr. U. Mitchell was burned. He loses $4,000, with no insurance. The large storehouse of Mr. A. A. Smally, together with other valuable property connected with it, was destroyed. His loss is not known, but it must have been severe. He was partially insured. Mr. Tirk had a heavy stock of ploughs, provisions, gro. Aeries, &c., burned. They were in different buildings, and -wed. His loss is from 84,000 to $6,000. desti, those who have suffered in a less degree than Among `rove are Holmes Ellis, Esq., who had his those named a,. -v destroyed. Myron F. Lindley, Esq., papers and law librai his 'docket library ; three hundred justice of the peace, lost nart of his clothes, and other dollars in county orders, a 1 -of others who must be articles.

Bast, tobacconist, of Maine-street. . main the fire could be checked, the flames extended to tL building, which, with the wholesale grocery and coma ession house of E. Bustard, were consumed. is The loss of Mr. Bast was very heavy, as very little of . • h material or stock were saved. He was insured to tL - amount of 18,400 dollars, of which 5,000 dollars were in the Madison Insurance Company, 6,000 dollars in the New York City, 1,600 dollars in the Hartford City, and 800 dollars in the Hudson River Marine and Fire Insurance Company.

BOWRING AT THE CONCERT HALL, On Saturday evening, immediately after the performances of Mr. Ellis, the celebrated Welsh harpist, Dr. Bowring, delivered a lecture on Decimal Currency, to a large audience, which, as usual, was assembled in the Concert-hall. The learned lecturer pointed out in forcible terms, the benefits which would result from the adoption of the decimal system, and strongly urged its adoption. At the conclusion of the lecture, Mr. THORNELY, M.P., came forward to propose a vote of thanks to Dr. Bowring. He said he was quite sure they would agree with him, that a most agreeable evening had been spent. The music wso everything they could desire ; and the beautiful harp music of Mr. Ellis, sur p a ssed everything h. neard. But his object in rising to address was, to beg they might offer their thanks to Dr. Bow ring for doing them the honour of giving them the results of narnv.inrtnet nnrl suaded that it required only the public mind to be properly awakened, for the legislature to pass an act which might occasion some difficulties perhaps, and might not be done just yet, but it certainly would be—of decimal coinage. The advantages of a decimal system in calculating, were very great compared with their present embarrassing system. He begged to move that the thanks of this assembly be given to Dr. Bowring for his very able lecture. Mr. Wit. BROWN, M.P., in seconding the motion, re marked that Dr. Bowring attended there at considerable inconvenience to give them his experience in countries which he had visited, of the advantages of the decimal system over the barbarous system of pounds, shillings and pence. He lu we ' re weuaea 1,0 I,.llits.

RATIrRONE moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Thornely who presided over the proceedings of the evening, which was also carried by acclamation, and the proceedings terminated. Despatches were received at the Colonial-office en Satur day morning from the Governors of the West India Is lands.

Lord Dudley Stuart introduced and explained the objects of the deputation to his lordship, and the ad dress was then read, the last paragraph of which expressed a want of confidence in her Majesty's government as at present constituted, in reference to its foreign policy, and Lord D. Stuart explained that such was the general, al though not quite the unanimous opinion of the great meet ing over which he had the honour to preside. Lord Pal merston, who listened with great courtesy and att ention to the observations directed by the deputation to his notice, expressed his convictitm that it was the determination of her Majesty's government, at all hazards, to preserve the intregity of the Ottoman empire, and promised to lay the address for es sw t hi he ch n h o a m d e be D en ep p a la r e tm ed en in t, h b i e s f h or a e nds he , r alsfaSjeesctryetLl:t -ythoof earliest opportunity.

About eight o'clock in the morning, the boy had got up, and, no one being present, he had climbed from a chair on to a table, and got a ginger-beer bottle con taining a small quantity of vitriol out of the cupboard, pulled out the cork, and drank the contents. He was heard to scream, when Mr. Lawson, who was up-stairs dressing at the time, immediately ran to his assistance, and, on discovering what had happened, he gave him a dose of oil, and filled his mouth full of butter, and forced him to swallow it. The symptoms at first were not considered very alarming, but, as he continued to get worse during the forenoon, Dr. Heaton was called in, but his services were unavailing, and the child expired about two o'clock in the afternoon. An inquest was held on the body on Wednesday, when the jury returned a verdict of "accidental death."
