Her sister, the Duchess of Alba, and the Duke, now at Biarritz, would accompany her. It was the Duke and Duchess of Medina Cell, not of Alba, who arrived here yesterday. M. Abbatucci would have presided in the Council of Ministers in right of seniority, had not King Jerome been appointed to do so.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. QUEBEC, Sept 10. TIMBOIt : Messrs. Forsyth, Bell and Co.'s circular, of this morning, says :—We have seldom seen a fortnight during which the transactions in our port in the groat staple 'of our trade have been on such a limited scale. A large number of vessels sailed on the lst, and left the harbour very bare, but within the last few days the arrivals have been num:Tons, and there is every prospect of a fair fall fleet, which will doubtless lead to more activity. Thd harvest in England is represented as very good ; but for the depressing news from India, trade would, no doubt, in consequence, be largely on the increase. By the lost advices, however, there was no improvement in timber, and the heavy stock now offering in the market, and a dull demand, malt s us reduce the quotations of white pine by one farthing to a halfpenny per foot, A lot of Boudiere of 80 feet average was sold at Bd, and a Bay of Q tine of 84 feet average at 8..1. If, however, our fall fleet be as large as some anticipate, the demand will soon be batter. Few raf,s have yet to arrive, Monday bringing no English pipers with letters anal articles on Indian . affairs for comment or reply, to-day's Paris journals find little to write about, and few of them contain leading articles. The Constitutioned takes rather a brighter view of the Indian question than has been its custom of late ; in an article, of which I subjoin an extract A trustworthy person, who saw the reception given to the Pope in more than one of the large towns in the Romagna, assures me that the semi official accounts of the enthusiasm of the people were totally incorrect. The public either was, or appeared to be, totally indifferent. " The charges of maladministration which have been brought against the Papal Government are perfectly well founded, and the country can never be at peace until reforms are made." Such is the language of an extremely intelligent and Conservative Aus trio 11. The Constantinople correspon lent of the Triester Zeitung .writes that many " Indian vessels" have been lost in the'R Sea. Aecording to aivices from Teheran, of the 15th of August, Murat Mirza, the commander-in-chief of the Persian army in Kviorassan, had assembled his army in a place about three miles from Herat, where he waited for orders to evacuate the province; but on receiving news of a conflict -between the ShiiteS and the Sunnites he rAnrned to Herat to restore order It is related that the Shah intends to proclaim Prince Emir Nizam , heir to the throne. We also learn from the Tutkish capital that Prince Daniel of Montenegro had been assassinated, but the state ment can hardly be correct. At all events, no news to that effect has reached this city . from Cattare. Great feults have doubtless been C3mmitt,d in the ad minis ration of India, and an amo int of egoism, or at least of hee le;•snes.., has been tolerated which has led to despotism. But if the laws of soun I morality have ben sa ion4y outraged, the expiation has been great. The Erglish, at times, treated the natives with sov3reigt con tempt. Confluent in theirctrength, they neglected the care f their desrest interests; and the llanourab'e Comp.-nir must at this mo nent bitter'y lament the slowness with which the eons'ruction of railroads and roads, that would now p ova invaluable, has been pushed during lite years. The xparienee now so dearly purchased will doubtless not be lost, and the terrible convultion which agitates the Indian empire may prave the starting-point of a new era of pros. perity for that colony. Many abuses, grown venerable with time, wilt be swept away by this tempest, ror it is one of ihe qualities peculiar to the genius of Englishmen never to hesitate in probing the extent of a wound, and never to rtct any measure, however tryi'g it may be, that can produce a cure. India, it is to be hoped, wail no., return into the hands of its former misters. England will re conquOr her ascendancy, and, enlightened by this terrible etiiis, will consolidate her pcsition by uprooting the abuses which have undermined her power. The French papers publsh a letter, which purports to give news from India that has not appeared in the London journals. It says that Nena Sahib had marched *on Lucknow, at the bead of 14,000 or 15,000 insurgents. He was in advance of General ITaveloek by four-days' march, and it was' certain that he would have effected , a junction with the insurgents in Oude before General Havelock could arrive. '1 he letter adds that the citadel of Lucknow, which is occupied by the British troop 3, is impregnable, and is supplied with provisions for six months. Major Banks, who took the command after the death of Sir Henry Lawrenoe, was killed by a fragment of a bombshell. _ _ _ In ft Piss, OAR, and Etzt*a have no change to remark. Standard ST.tvrs are accumn'ating, and may be quoted at £52 10s, while West India are ia den nd at £l6 lOs to £l7. DEALS are rather declining; flaated have been 'sold in the raft at £:l2 103 for lsts, with a p:opirtionate price' for 2nds and 3rds. Bright are not much enquired for unless for good specifications, in consequence of the unsatisfac:ory'state of the market in England. FitEthurs are duller than they were, and a good many vez eels are offering. 281 for L'verpoal, 313 for London, 30s for the Clyde, 343 for Be'fast, and 333 for Fleetwood, may be considered as the rates.

Official intelligence has been received of the ac eeptence beethe Mexican Govern/I:tent of the prof fered mediation of England and France in the quarrel between Mexico and Spain. The confe rence for the settlement of this matter is to be held in London. This will probably not be very pleasing to Spain, which would fain have had it in Machine. The capital of one of the mediating nations is manifestly the most suitable place. It i 3 not yet known who will be the pleeipoteniaries appointed, but it is presumed th.t Senor Lafragua will re present Mexico, he being completely au courant of . the affair which he ha.s followed from the com mencement. - The whole personnel of the Mexican Legislature at :Madrid is now in Paris. In the total absenee of political news of import ance, small facts and causeries Irene Chalons obtain attention. The stay in camp of the Deke.of Cam bridge seems to give fresh anima!_ion to the .pro ceedings of the Imperial Guard. The rambles wile daily return here from Chalons tell us of fire wet ks, illuminations, dances, and diversions of pll kinds, and particularly of balloon ascents by the brothers Godard, which seem a very favourite amusement with the troops. -At six, on the 'day of the' Dulte's arrival, there was a great dinner at the Imperial head-quarters, to 'which s#ll the Generals were invited. The capital band of the Guides played • during the meal. .The table was laid for fifty, and, from its position, the Emperor end his guests (could lee seen at dinner by persons walking in the neigh bourhood. lA-. the evening the Emperor and the Duke went to the Grenadiers' theatre, and were loudly cheered on entering. The pieces played wet e - the " Almoner of the Regiment, "gilt le Tale ehenr," and " Pic-nic of Auvergnats." In the first named vaudeville there is a passage where the almoner, disguised as soldier, sings a couplet . to t'ae effect that the Emperor takes the crowns of all 'the Kings of Europe and- gives them to his sildiers. This was received with frantic hurray, so much so, says a paper, that the. staff appeared rather embarrassed. The Duke of Cambridge seemed greatly amused by the performance. At its close, the Grenadiers, with torches, escorted the Imperial and Royal visitors to their quarters. The, first perAirmance of the " Arab Wedding" by the Z waves was so suceessful that a second has been . given ()a a larger scale, including various epi sodes Of Arab life under canvas. Yesterday the whole of the troops made a Movement in the elirection a the Suippe, s river which flows along the northern limit_ of the camp, where they were to bivouac two nights. The soldiers have their tentes. d'abri ; it is not mentioned how the officers will manage, but the movement is considered as rather a bore. It was rumoured at Chalons yesterday that the duration of the camp would be prolonged to the 20th of October, but I hear nothing of the kind stated here, nor is it Probable. Thera is -a talk of extending the Camp Branch Railway, which runs (with considerable deviations from a straight line) nearly ,dunnorth, from Chalons to Verdun, and thence to Metz The ground for the line from Chablis to the camp was got from its numerous owners on the. following terms —they were paid for wha'- ever crops were growing on it, and were also allowed to remove them, and were guaranteed eventual satisfactory payment. There was no time for any more exact and final .arrangement. The Ectipereit is very popalar in Champagne, and the persants and other proprietors made no difficulty in complying with these terms, which in fact are very advantageous for them. _ _ _ The Emperor's return to the camp, after his visit to Stuttgarit, is considered certain, but it can hardly take place until the 30th, so that it is presumable he will remain there but a short time. He leaves S,uttgardt on the morning of thcr2B‘b, and makes a pause at Metz General Reibell, who commands the military division of which Strasburg is the head-quarters, has been at the camp to take the orders of the Minister of War with respect to the Emperor's journay. Marshal R radon, who since his arrival from Algeria has been at his estate in the department of the Isere, has arrived in Paris, and will go to the camp on the Emperor's return thither.

ITALY TURIN, SEPT• 18 There being no subject of greater public interet t on the tapis at the moment, I went up the Val d'Aost the other day to examine the scene of the inundation which I mentioned in my last letter. Arnaz, the village that has suffered so terribly, is about 15 English miles from Ivrea, and one beyond "the Fort of Bard. The valley there widens into a triangular-slaaped basin, at the upper angle of which is the village of Arnaz, with the town§ of B trd, and Champ de Pie.z at either extremity of the base, along which runs the Dora Baltea, At the back of ArnsZ there is a sugar-loaf.shaped hill, the steep sides of which are scored with waeer-eourses, making a fan-like figure, converging to a point jest above the village, where their united contributions form the torrent that has caused all this present misery. Heretofore, this torrent has been con sidered so insignificant, and S 3 innocuous, that it has never been th-night worthy of any more spe cial designation than the little stream," or the "little torrent ;" in teed, in ordinary times, it barely sufficed to• turn the village mill, and supply the irrigation of the fields below, all of which it has so utterly destroye 1 in is fury. According to the accounts of the villagers the disaster is-attributable ton violent storm with very heavy - rair, thich some call a waterspout, bursting on the sugat-loaf hill above mentioned, on the night of the 10th inst., and it is supposed, from the I ,masses of. rocks brought down from' the sides of the hill, thatasorne obstruc ion was caused a short way below the junetion . of the water-Cour, es, and which must have formed a dr m until such a body of water was collected behind it as burst th:ough nil oppositioe and destroyed everything that stood in its passage. Looking at - the great. fragments torn from tOe mountain, and now scattered over what were -clarefully cultivated vineyards and - mea dews, this surmise appears reasonable enough but to obtain enythinAilike a clear description of sub. sreett . ent events until the work of desolation was 'at an end, was, of course; out of the question, for, in the first place, it must have been veil dark when the casualty occurred ;, and, in . the next, the wretched survivors, whom we met wandering. about the ruins, looked as if they .must have been com, pletely bewildered, beyond all hope of understand ing, by such an untoward catastrophe. As may be supposed, the scene presented to the eye there is melancholy in the extreme, and is rendered more disagreeably so by the' numbers of persons afflicted, more 'or less, with the curse of goitre's and cretinism. A shipwreck, an earthquake,. a field cd. battle, might furnish similes for this sight' of desolation. Mill .Wheels, cart wheel's, window frames. doerposts, beams, wine barrels, bits of furniture, &e., lie scattered all about among rocks fresh from the mountain side and bricks and stones from the overthrown houses,but the effects of this inundaiion - more nearly resemble the overfl ) - at of - .a—volcano than anything else, perhaps, for the whole valley from the village of Arnaz down to the Dern, for the brea:lth of a couple of htindrod paces. on an average, has been ovceairl with a coating of gravel and rook; and of 'course all vegetation de stroyed as effectuallyas on the sides of Etnno:Vesu vius )vhon a st‘:eann of lava runs dOwn4 theM. The vineyards and meadows, an I corn fields, which the poor villagers cule.va'ed with painful labour are now no more, and the sr.a33 they , occupied resem bles merely the bed of a torrent. • It must be some years before this land can be recovered from the destructive matter that now overlay's it, for the people of the district are poor, and haVe beep great sufferers by the vine disease, and it is `calenlated that the damage now done is equal to 500,000 f. The loss of human lives has been 30, as ascer tained by the authorities up to this time, but, it is feared that still more have been sacrificed, of which there is no proof as yet. One whole family was swept away. and not a single member left to tell the tale. One of those rescued alive froth the ruins died the day before yesterday, and there are many others in a precarious state from •wounds and 'exposure. The body of a young woman was found on the banks of the Dora, near Ivrea, the other day. The face was so little disfigured that she was immediately recognised by her brother, who had been summoned for the purpose by the Magistrates. .It appears that at the time of the disaster she was in the house with her father and mother and an invalid sister. The father and mother were washed away to a considerable dis tance, but left ultimately on dry ground without any very serious injury, but the fate of the other daughter is still uncertain_.• The villagers were still digging to clear the cel lars of a house, three walls of which alone remained standing, when I visited 'the place the other day, in search of the bodies of persons who it was thought might have rushed there for security ; and as we passed the church we saw another party engaged in digging a fosse like looking grave. Altogether. a more die-, spiriting sight than this unfortunate village offered can hardly be conceived, heightened as it is by the presence of that most hideous affliction, cretinism, which is sure to present itself at every turn. It is gratifying to find that not only the King and the Government have contributed hand somely towards the relief, as far as possible, of, the sufferers, but that all the neighbouring communes, as well 119 the municipalities.of Aosta and Ivrea, have voted liberally for the same object, and private charity is also adding considerably to the fund. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 17th say, that not withstanding the cessation of the min'steriral crisis, it was rumoured that General Figui,ras was about to resign the ministry of War, a.id be replaced by General Lersundi•; also that several high functionaries of the Palace,, and among them Diu.ke d Gaylen and Getkeeal San Miguel, were THE caoLER.A. ON THE CONrINENT. Cholera continues to make numerous victims at Stock holm ; one of them was Count Magnus Puke, chief of the Navy Office, the last representative of or.e of the oldest families of Sweden; the day before his death he was in perfect health, and did his office business as usual. At Upsal the cholera is so bad that "desolation and panic prevail," and at Christians tud 300 persons have been carried off by it. In Norway, also, it is committing sad ravages. The cholera has broken out with great violence at Konigsberg, attacking its vicirns without any premoni tary symp oars. Most of the cases rroved fatal. RE GISTR ATION OF ARM 3. Mr. Tracy R,ll, who hos been 'appointed by the Lord Lientehant as the licenser of arms within the Belfast proclaimed distriCt, sat on Monday in the accord Court, to hear applications for licenses. We believe Zh:tt the Government has sent down the official forms ready fillin.g up. The applicant is called upon to declare that he is not a member of any "club, lodge, or association," the members of which arc known to each other by secret signs and passwords. Tiiii, we presume, is intended to exclude the loyal Orangemen of 13.1iast from the privi lege of retaining their arms. The Government should remember that it is not long sin 3;., in the year 1813, they were very glad of the assistance, of the very men whom thry now think they can afford to despise. The manner in which the registration is conducted has given visa to much contusion and annoyance to the applicants for licen ses .Mr. Tracy refuses to grant licenses to any parties whom he does not know personally ; and those who do not possess the honour of his acquaintance must get a certificate, signed by two justices in the presence of each other.

A MAN FOUND DRAB ex A CHAPEL AT ROCHDALE.—On Monday night, about twelve o'clock, pollee-constable James Brierley, was alcosted in Drake-street, near the B tptist Chapel, by a youth named Ashworth, who requested the offi:ec to go into the chapel to see if his brother were there, al he was afraid himself to go ii. The youth said that his brother, Henry Ashworth, was the chapel-keeper, and left home about six o'clock, since which hour they had not see© him. Tile officer went to the chapel, and found the door open, and all in datkuess. On the left hand side there is a clock hanging about four yards from the floor; bP . . - dea•li the (Meer found a ladder, which appeared to have fallen ; and close by the man Ashworth, lay on one side upon the forty, quite dead. There were no external marks of violence, rxcept about the mouth. It is supposed that while winding the clock up, deceased fell down; but whether in a fit or not is unknown. For several years he has been unwell, and some time ago left the factory for the purpose of for king after the chapel. An inquest was held upon the body last night, by Mr. rerrand Deerden, toroner, at the Nelson Inn. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, SEPT 19. • 'The Austrians affirm that Prince Vogoriues is now .118 much in favour of the union of the two Principalities as be was formerly opposed to it; but, the truth of the matter iP, that, in obedienc,) to orders received from the Porte, he remained passive while the elections were going on. According to a telegraphic despatch rcceivel by one of the Vienna papers from Jassy, there will ba no small "aini union"-rnsjority in the Divan ad hoe, : but in official circles it is well.known that the Moldavian Union ists have obtained a victory over their opponents. Since the Conference at Osborrie less importance' has. been attached to the question of the organi z of the. liumbiftri Principalities, because it : has transpired that the French Government has promised not to insist upon their c personal" union The meanitig of the. diplomatic phrase. qu)ted is that 'Moldavia and Wallachia are not to be united under- one .Ilospodar or Prince. They may, and probably will, have exactly the same institutions, but there :will .be two separate adm•nistrations. The correctness of the foregoing .will, doubtless, be questioned by the French press, but the sequel ,will show that you have not been misinformed. -- Great secresy is h..re observed in regard to the proposed interview between . the Emperors of Au_. trig Rnssir,s, but infermation has to-day, reached me that they are to meet at the beginning of the next month. Some time since the Emperor . Alexander exprersed him Self to the effect that he should be happy to see his brother sovereign, and there is reason ferleliSving that the Emperor Francis Joseph will be - at Berlin when the Czar . passes through that city on his way back to Warsaw. -On or about the 29th inst. the Austrian monarch will go to see the ex-Emperor Ferdinand at Prague, and thence to the Prussian. capital, where he will remain two or three days.. There is no positive evidence :that Austria is. about to take up another position, but various circumstances induce me to believe that she will soon be on ranch •more intimate terms with Russia _and Prussia than she .is at present. • Count Buol's opponents are in very high spirits just now, as they fancy he will' be obliged to quit office if theft) should bo a reconciliation between the CourzS of Austria and Russia. As you have repeatedly been informed, the. Austrians sin cerely hope that the.mutiny in India may speedily be quelled ; but they begin to talk of the " awkward position" in which England is placed, and to remark that for some time to come she will be so much occupied with internal matters that she will be - able to pay less attention than usual to the affairs of Europe. In a word, Austria is of opinion - - that for the moment F ngland can be of little use to her as an ally,and she is, therefore,•helnore relined t) place herself on a friendly footing with Rtissia.. Some of the foregoing remarks will give little satis• faction either here or in England, but the moment is a very critical one, and it is well that you should know exactly how things stand. The punishment' inflicted on Kijor Count Hun yady has produced a favourable impression, as the public had long fancied that a citizen had no chance of obtaining satisfaction if the person who wronged him wore a uniform. Military men profess to know little-or nothing o what took place at Hutteldorf, but I have acquired some further information on the subject at a reliable source. The regiment of hussars in which Count Hunyafly was Major marched from Bohemia to the camp. at Parer.- dorf,. and committed excesses at several places on the road. A general of cavalry is said to have ealled j the corporeal punishment inflicted on the Mayor of Huttledorf " a bad joke," but it would appear that the Emperor viewed the affair in a much more serious light, for he gave the strictest orders that no favour should be shown to the offender. The sentence passed on Count Hunyady by the court martial was four and not two years imprisonment. The colonel of the regiment sent into the Mili tary Central Chancellery of the Emperor, a dc fence of the conduct of his subordinate, and was sent to the provost for four days for his pains. The offi.3ers who were present at the manceuvre at Parendorf the day before yesterday relate that a circumstance took place which much amused the Emperor and la:s suite. A Hanoverian General was addressed by an Austrian General, who ex pressed his pleasure to see so distinguished a man as General Halkett—l believe that such is his name—in the camp. The Hanoverian was well pleased with the compliment and asked his inter locutor his name- lam the Emperor" was the reply. Sir Hamilton Seymour is said to have informed , Count Buol that the British Government is about to issue a circular note on the subject of the Island of Perim. England denies that tha Porte has any I claim to the isis.o.d:, wad is resolve. tomaintein pos., THE EAST INDIA. COMPANY. QUARTERLY MEETING. Yesterday the usual quarterly General Court cf Pro prietors of the East India Company was held at the Indic notice, Leadenhall-street, Mr. R. C. Mangles, M.P., Chair man cf the Court o[ Directors, presiding. _ _ The usual formal business having been gone through, Mr. Dent asked whether the Court of Directors, in their offs irl capacity, intended to eontribute to the relief fund r Mr. M Lewin did not think they had a right to ask the direc'e a to subscribe to the fund in their official capacity. There was another more important question, which was whether the company ware not bound to make up the loss to the sufferers ? He th ,ught it was the duty of a very government to protect its servants ; t y the dic'ates of common senTe, if not of the ordinari law, government was bound to mske up the losses sustained by individuals Ander such circumstances as these. ( Bear.) The Chairman, in answer to Mr. Dent, sad the court hut not come to any definite resolution on the subject. Thci question of Lewin was a very large one, and of the greatest importance. It had arisen from a state of circumstances to which the histolt of ihe world probably afforded no l r:cise parallel. It must be determined generally, he took it, by the law of natiqns and by the universal rule applied in cases as nearly parallel as could be discovered. There was a case somewhat similar in English history, that of the rebellion in. 1745. What the court had done in this matter was this, it had written to the government in India to take care that nobody was allowed to perish, and that no case of destitution within: reach should pass unprovicled for. The careand attention of the government in such matters was not to be confined to the servants of the company, but was to be extended to all classes. (Cheers.) With regard to the military servants of the company, the court t cirectors convilered hat the widows and orphans of officers who had fallen vetims to• this• frightful military mutiny would be entitled to the same pensions as if they we-e placed on what was called' the compassionate allowance fund,. pensions whir's were granted to wdows and orphans of the officers wh ) had fallen in action. (Hear, hear.) Mr Dent regretted that there should be any delay in s matter of this kind, As soon as it was intimated to her _Majesty that such a fund was being rai , ed an answer was receive I by telegraph from Bdrnoral, that her 31..jesty and the Prince Consort would sub , •cribe. The p•ecsdents were numerous. There were the French inundation., the Irish famine, and various ceheroccas;ons on which subscriptions had b en male, and surely the Indian mutinies was a subject which required little or no deliberation. It wag one upon which he should have conceived there would scarcely have been a difference of opinion.. If it was necp.ssary to refer to " Mc. Smith, of Canntn-row," there was a telegraph, and they should have received at once an answer by it. Would there be any cbjectiou to lay let - ire the court an extract from the despatch the chairman had alluded to ? The Chairman said he conld give the hon. proprietor no answer but that he had a'ready given as to the sub scription. There c mild be no obje.ion to giving an extract f!om the despatch. Mr. J nes suggested that the directors should forega their annual feast, which usually emit from £3,400 to £4 000, and that they should apply that amount in aid of the sufferers. If they cl, , termined ulna abstaining from feasting far five yeas, th y might add to the subscription £20.000. (Ile r.) This wan not a time for feasting.. (Hear. hear. ) The Chairman said the hon. proprietor need not be alarmed upon that paint, as tha Court of Directors would have no annual dinner this year, (Hear ' hear ) Dr. Beattie thought the view tak e n by Mr. Lewin was the proper one. It would be quite out of the question for the court to contribute as a court, but thay might do so individually. The Chairman ob, - erved that the greatest care should be taken to p-event private li'oeraliry being damped. Thera were many who would refuse to subscribe if they could say that governmeA w Buhl mkka good all losses. It was impossible that government cow(' reach alt case., and he could not e incive a nobler opportunity than this for indi vidual charity (Flea-, hear ) Mr. Jones then rose on a motion of which he had given. notic hereup Mr. Brown said he had hoped the motion would not be persevered with; if it were, he should move that the court doatjourn. Mr - . Jones saii he knew the hon. proprietor could pre vent his bringing the motion forward ; but it stool first, and until it was disposed of he WJII d take care that no other motion was discusEe I. His motion was :—" That it is due to the advancing intelligence of the people of India that a deputy from each presidency be maintained at the public expense in ells country, with a view to fawn' the proprietors as to the complaints and wishes of the people of India.' He was glad that India had at last forced itself into public notice. Propietors who had attenled thee . ) meetings, had foretold that a day would'eJme when tore woul i be rebellion in that country. Annexation after annexation had been the cause of these mutinies. Annexation was n,,t the mere dethr ming of a king and the substitution of another govermasat ; it was the dislocation of society. Annexation had been the cause, and a suffi cient cause, of the outrag s that had been committed. (Cries of "1)h!") There was nothing on earth or in hell, that could justify the atrocities that Nena Sahib had com mitted ; bat it should be remembered that the g - 6v rnment had deprived him of the Peiohwarri to which he had a right. (No, no )_ M'. Brown said ho must now exercise his right. Ho move 3 that the court do now ar,j mrn. _ _ The Chairman th,rt put the qiestio,, and th3re being only seventeen p7oprie'ori pre wit (the nnra , -)er required to constitute a court EQing twenty) declared the court adjourned. THE ROYAL BRITISH B4NK. Yesterday was appointed for the last examination of the directors representiog the Royal British B ink under the bankruptcy. Three htlance-ghee s have been filed, extending over upwards r f 800 folio pages Mr. Linklater, for the assignee; said that a few days since the court was. applied to ith respect to a claim made by :fir. Myers, the builder, and it was suggested that ha matter t.irtuld be submitted to reference, but the assignees considered it was not so much a matter of scaount as law, and he, therefore, had to ask his lionaur to fix a day for discussing the case. His Honour appointed the 23th of October for that purpose. Mr. Linklater said this was the meeting for the last examination and tw.) balance-sheets had been filed, but so recently that it was ab,oluely necessary that an ad journment should take place, in order that the asstnees might have the opp - rtunity of examining the accounts. One balance was prepared by Mr C leman ; one by Mr. Stapleton, inaividually ; another on behalf of Mr. Alder man. Kennedy, Mr. Vai , lant, Mr. Esdaile, and Mr. Lead; and one by Messrs. Cooper and Stevens. on the part of Messrs. Gillett, Hunt, and Butt, who became directors on the 5h of August, before the bankrup'cy. The court had directed that the balance sheet should be filed on or before the Ist of Feptember, but the first w s not filed until the 12th instant, and that by Messrs. Cooper and Stevens. only this morning. Mr. Sleigh, M. Mason, awl Mr. Freshfield, who appear— ed for the directors, assented to the alournment. Mr. Linklakerthen went int) a very lengthened explana tion of the course which had been pursued by the assig nees, who had been exceedingly anxious to promote the interests of the creditors. With respect to the dividend which it had been intended to declare this day, he was sorry to say it could not be made, as the assignees had not been able ti effect a sale of the Welsh mines, which were eat down at £l2O 000 ; bpt he had no d ,übt that eventually the creditors would receive a dividend of 20s. in theFound—namtly, 10. from the estate, Os Gd. from the shareholders with ahem fie assignees entertained strong hopes that they would be able to effect such a compro mise as would be satisfactory to the creditors, and meet the sanction of the court. He then explained that the act. of parliament, giving power to effect a compromise, dial', not interfere with the interests ( f the creditors, who eJu'et , apply to the court for leave to proceed against any shale holder who would be required to give security. He. strongly urea I the shareholders to come forward and eon tribute, and many had returned from abroad - wick the intention of doing so. Mr. Lawrence addressed the court to the same eitoti. The meeting was then adjourned fur two months.. FATAL BALER. FXPLOFIONT Ie Donnam ---4bort nine o'clock on Sunday morning, one f the 'bailers at the Trio 'on Grange Colliery exploded with a 'toad report. It shook the earih. The repot was heal d, for about a mile eiitanr, and was societhin like the exo'iosion of a magazine of povv'eo, The chimney was split, %tie stone walls blown to atoms, the boilers shifted out of their place. and a large number of houses damaged by briutti, stones, Pulleys, metal pipes, & ' . The boiler hail s;ilit in two ; the upper part was blo vn over the top of six or tight houses, and fel into: a pond abut 100 or 120 yard distenee from the place. The other part was thrown over the engines, house, and railway, on to the dustherip, at a distare3 of about 1.40 yards. Oa clearing away the stones and rubbish near where the boiler stood, the bodies of two yoarg men were discovered, the one named John Orton, the other Roper, the fireman. They were dreadfully sealded, and of course quite dead. A child playing in the stree's was struck by. one of the bricks, anti there seems to be little or no hope (a r its Ismer",
