The Sikh Government was in a tottering st;te, for the Queen-Mother and her paramour, the Wuzeer, Lall SinAh, had no hold on the affections of the people. On the contrary, those abandoned characters were looked upon as traitors to their country, and the opportunity of the withdrawal of t awaited by the Kha other fanatics, in order to avenge their wrongs on the present heads of tLe Lahore Government. The British authorities were not idle in making preparation for the approaching convulsion in the Sikh territory. - Regiments were forming at Feroz-pore and Umballa. for the purpose of absorbing some of the best of the disbanded Sikh . soldiers. An army was also to be ready on' the Sutltj and Beas to protect the British frontiers, and in case of necessity to put down the Sikh revo lution. Lords H irdinge and Gpugh were at Simla. Gholah Singh is reported to be in a very uns4tisfartory state, not only on account of the turbulent chiefs over whom he ob tained the rule, by advancing large sums of money last March, butalso from his own intrigues, which prevent him from conforming with the promises of the treaty. It was said that several British officers had been murdered in his territory, and by his instigation, but the story is not sufficiently authenticated to be implicitly relied on. The Sikh province of Moultan is still at war with the Wuzeer Lall Singh, and the Mahommedan grief of that fertile district has been victorious in some rencontres with the Sikh troops Seinde is tranquil, and with the prospect of an abundant harvest. The cholera, after having ravaged Kurrachee and Hyderabad, was attacking the villages along the Indus. There was some sickness at Sukkur, which Caused the removal of her Majesty's 17th Regiment to the sea coast. There was a rumour circulated of the speedy retirement from Scind , - of Sir Charles Napier, whose health is de scribed as seriously affected by the climate. Five regi ments were, it was said, to be removed from Scinde a Boon as the fine weather set in. The probability existed, however, of the occupation by the British of the city of 3loultan, which. from its locality, would form an excellent emporium for British goods, and a corresponding capital for the western part of India, in some degree resembling Calcut a in the eastern division. In Cahill an attempt has been made to enlist Dost Ma. homed in another plot against the British. The agent in this scheme bad come from Persia, but the old Dost was too wary to expose himself again to the chances of a con flict with the British. particularly after the recent suc cesses at Lahore. His son, the notorious Ackbar Khan, was not pleased with the pacific policy of his father, and be war eager to have an opportunity of regaining posses sion of Peshawur and even of Cashmere. Intrigues and counterplots were in full play at Cabot. In the newly-acquired provinces of Jullunder and the dooab of the Betts, the British troops have during six months, been healthy. An attempt was made by the Bri tish resident at the Nizam's Court to arrange the pecu niary affairs of that country. Some refractory landhold ers have been compelled to give accounts of their demands, and the lawless mercenaries, who have proved hitherto to be such a curse to that state, have been disbanded or ex pelled from the Nizam's dominions. The conquest of the Island of Bally, which is now at temp ed by the Dutch, continues to be the source of much observation at Singapore. It appears to have the tacit assent of the British Government. An alarm prevailed at Aden, lit the beginning of Au gust, in consequence of a threatened attack on that for tress by some Arab chiefs. The money market in Bambay had decidedly improved, and favourable expectations were entertained of the busi. mess of the season which was just opening. Discounts bad been lowered, and exchange had fallen to Is. lld. to ls. lldid. per rupee. The market for British manufac turers was quiet, and cotton had declined from two to three rupees per candy, with limited transactions. Freights bad slightly improved, and were last quoted at £2 10s. to £2 15s. per ton to Liverpool. There are as yet no later commercial advices from Calcutta. SPAIN Accounts from Madrid of the 23rd ultimo state that the Infanta Luisa was better, and appearances indi cated that she would be entirely recovered in a few days. The Champer of Deputies granted ministers on that day the required authorization to levy taxes, by a majority of 134 to 12. On the 22nd ult. Mr. Bulwer sent in a pro test, in the name of his government, against the :Nlont pensier marriage. " Finding," he says, " that neither the counsels, the interests, the wishes, nor the friendly feelings of England were in the slightest degree regarded or taken into consideration, Mr. Bulwer was compelled to present, as a last measure. a formal protest." Accounts from Madrid, of the 25th ult., announce that on that day Count Bresson repaired in state to the palace, and formally demanded the band of the Infanta for the Duke de Montpensier. General Serrano having written to Mr. Bulwer, to know if England had opposed the mar riage of the Queen with her cousin, as stated by M. Isturiz in the senate, our ambassador addressed to him a reply, in which he contradicted that statement, and de clared that he had confined himself to protesting, in the name of his government. against the marriage of the Infanta. Mr. Bulwer having authorised General Serrano to use his letter as he thought proper, the latter had in serted it in the Mown. Publico. which was seized for pub lishing it. The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on that day offered no interest. ALLEGED EXECUTIONS IN SPAIN.—We have this moment received, says the Paris Constitutionnel, a letter from the frontier of Spain, announcing that 80 insurgents. amongst whom were several priests, have been taken and shot at Lerida. At Seu d'tJrgee several priests were put an end to by strangulation. Amongst them was one who, it is said, performed the duties of bishop, and a canon named Gazi, who long officiated in the French parish of Nahuja. This latter news appears official. Other letters from the frontier announce that Count de Montemolino is in Catalonia. This is also given in a Paris journal as a positive fact." The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeilung ofj the 23rd Sept. states tha , /Mehemet Ali intended resigning in favour of Ibrahim Paeha, owing to his advanced age. The Mormons and the Anti-Mormons are on the eve of battle. A fight is inevitable. The Mormons are said to have lately organised a regi ment of women, who are in full discipline, and promise. by all appearance, to fight far more desperately than their male fellow-soldiers. The accounts by the Britannia state that the potato crop in CaPada was almost ripe, and had not sustained any material injury.

If you do not require our surplus, wheat and flour will be lower than they now are in this country. The present price of flour may be put at 4 62-100 dollars per barrel. This way be considered a fair &verage price, rather stationary, with an upward tendency. That tendency, however, is produced by looking to your market, in the expectation of new orders to purchase at advanced prices. '0 he home market of the United States, in my opinion, will not sustain flour through the season at four-and-a-half dollars per barrel. Our potato crop is suffering considerably with the same disease that is proving such a scourage to Ireland, a species of rot for which no preventative has yet been discovered. Indeed, so far as I can learn, we are now as ignorant of the cause of the disease as we were the first day of its ap pearance amongst us. But the loss of the potato crop in this country is not such a diaaaiars ar. a5:arma,...i.,... would be in Great Britain. Here, no families, except a few foreign families of labourers in cities , pretend to live, even chiefly, upon potatoes. Families of eight to twelve persons rarely consume more than fifteen to twenty bushels as . in a year." IRB LAND, Six additional stipendiary magistrates are appointed for Ireland. Among them is Mr. French, son of Lord French, the repeiler. A requisition is now in course of signature in Ireland, calling for a public meeting of the landowners, in Dublin, to petition for the immediate assembling of parliament. Mr. W. T. Power, who stands charged with defrauding the National Bank at Clonmel, arrived at that town on Wednesday, in custody of the police. The Earl of Lucan, in a letter dated the Ist October, says,—" I am of opinion that parliament should be as sembled at the earliest possible day, which I have already expressed to her 114;jesty's Government, or, I am con vinced, the country is lost. " OUTRAGE.—A horse, the property of John Bridgeman, Esq., of Rathluba, was shot on Saturday night at Kil murry. Mr. Bridgeman bad sent in the morning a load of corn to Limerick. The horse was on its return home when the outrage was committed.—Clare Journal. On Monday, a mob entered Sligo, and took possession of the bread contracted for the poorhouse, and after a division, instantly consumed it. They afterwards com pelled the bakers of the town to supply them with bread. The government have resolved to supply biscuits at 10s. a cwt. The Cork Examiner states that but for the presence of the dragoons at the adjourned sessions at Clashmore, in the county of Waterford, last week, Lord Stuart de Decies would have been murdered by the people. They threw stones at his lordship, who was protected by the soldiers, several of the latter were hurt; they fired on the people, several of whom were wounded. Rumours were circulated in Dublin on Thursday, that the Lord• Lieutenant and the Chief Secretary had resigned, in consrquence of a refusal by the Prime Minister to sanction the views of the Irish Executive. There was, however, no truth in the report, though the Ministry did dissent from some of the propositions of the Irish Go vernment. . A requisition has been presented to the Bishop of Derry, signed by the Dean and Archdeacon of Derry, the Archdeacon of Raphoe, and the great ;majority 01 the clergy of both dioceses, beseeching his Lordship " to communicate with the Lord Primate, and to lay before his Grace their earnest request that be would use the influence of his high character and station with her Majesty, imploring her to order a day of national humi liation and prayer to God, to acknowledge the divine hand in this afflictive dispensation, and to implore the God of all mercies to turn away his wrathful indignation from us." His Lordship promises to transmit his Grace's reply as soon as received. REVOLTISO MURDER.—It pains us to be obliged to state that the calendar of crime for this county is already stained with murder. It appears that a bad feeling had already grown up between Lamb, the murdered man, and his step-mother and two step•hrothers, relative to that fertile source of crime in this country—namely, a piece or patch of land situated in Coldfed, near Christians town, about four miles from Dundalk, to which in law the deceased would appear to have had a prior claim. The quarrels of the respective parties had assumed such a de gree of bitterness, that they summoned each other to petty sessions. On Monday night, when the deceased came on the ground in question, and entered a barn, a shot was heard, and the neighbours, accordingly suspected something wrong, gave immediate intimation to the po lice, who were soon on the alert, and arrested the sus pected parties in their own house. The body was dragged about 60 perches to an adjacent grove where a hole was discovered, as if prepared for the interment of the victim of cold-blooded avarice.—Newry Examiner. POPULAR OUTBREAK.—On Monday, a dense multi tude of people flocked into the town of Dungarvon, and went through the streets brandishing bludgeons and yelling in the most ferocious manner. In a short time an attack was made on the bakers' shops, and several of them were plundered, but others were protected by the police. There were two companies of infantry, a party 'or dragoons, and a large police force in the town. Mr. Howley, the stipendiary magistrate, went into the midst of them, asking what they wanted ? They said work and wages. They were told they should have both, but all to no purpose, as they continued to exhibit the same violent arid outrageous conduct with which they commenced. The riot act was then read, but demonstrations of de fiance and outrage were only the result. A volley of stones was poured on the military, and when nothing but extreme measures could stay the frightful and infatuated mob, the order was given "to fire , " tied several were wounded. In a short space of time not one of the mob was to be seen in the town. It has now come to this, and we sincerely deplere the necessity, that those lawless demonstrations, and those deeds of rapine and outrage, must be put down with a strong and firm hand. Intel ligence bac since reached us, that one of the wounded men has died. On Tuesday, in consequence of some in formation conveyed by Sir It.

Since then nearly the whole fifty have been consecrat. No further, special .subscription has been rdquested b'y hi's lordship, and yet it appears, from the report of the Church Building Commissioners, that besides those there are twenty-seven new chut (-hes, four of which are just completed, and the remaining twenty-three in various stages of progress, in or near the metropolis only ; and this in addition to all that had been done in the twenty years preceding. Nor does this pre sent a complete view of what is doing. There a e three churches now building in or near the City Road, and two are proposed in Islington ; but none of these five find a place among the above. There may be many others omitted, in like manner, from various causes. Nur is this all. Men will hardly tolerate, now, the mean and cheap sort of building they were contented with ten years ago. Stone is now becoming, in almost all cases, the material used. A few years back, £3,000 or £5,000 was thought a sufficient outlay on a church ;—now £7,000, £lO,OOO, or even £15,000, is often named as the intended expense. There is, notwithstanding, little probability, after all, that the wants of the country will be even mode rately supplied.

THE TRACTARIANS•—ne Warwick Advertiser states that the Rev. Mr. Bittlestone, curate of the episcopal chapel at Leamington, has excited the displeasure of the Bishop of Worcester, by practices inconsistent with the tenets of the Church of England. Towards the end of last month, it appears that a young female servant called upon a clergyman at Leamington, and anxiously inquired whether he administered the sacrament of absolution. She was questioned. and then stated that she had attended the episcopal chapel, and had been induced, by the urgent exhortations of the curate, Mr. Bittlestone, to go before him at his lodgings, for the purpose of confessing her sin 3. He there received her in full clerical attire, and, bidding her kneel down, put into her hand a little book, entitled Questions for Self-examination," containing a series of minute interrogatories upon each of the ten command ments, " the seven deadly sins," and " the three great enemies, the world, the flesh, and the devil." These in terrogatories she was directed silently to peruse, and, if her conscience returned an affirmative answer to any of them, she was to confess her guilt to him. He also ques tioned her whether she had not committed various sins; and at length, atter reading a number of prayers over her, formally absolved her. This interview lasted an hour and ten minutes, and at its termination Mr. Bittlestone en joined her to return in a month's time, for a repetition of this " sacrament of absolution." The girl, however, felt alarmed at the unusual nature of these directions, and resolved to consult another clergyman of the established church upon the subject.

The unfortunate man was descending the shaft after blasting, when a stone which had been loosened thereby fell upon his head and broke his neck. From official returns it appears that the amount of traffic for the last week, on nearly 1,800 mites of railway, was £178,037, thus accounted for :—£101,909 for the con veyance of passengers only, £39 829 for the carriage of goods, and a remainder of £36,299 for passengers and goods together, not respectively apportioned ; being an in crease over the corresponding week of last year of £33,153. _ _ promises and teneral profession_ of those who seek our support.

They should be ad vised to place their names on the register of electors, and should be assisted in doing so. 5. The weight of public opinion on the conduct of go vernment and pailiament should ever be borne in mind. With this view our voice should be exerted by petition, and still more through the public press. The latter is the workshop of legislation. In this we should be constantly active—playing every lawful tool—working a daily work. 6. Our opinions should be especially concentrated on the minds of the community in which we live. For this end such means as we have suggested should be resorted to. Libraries should be established forthe circulation of our publications, and others of a similar tendency. 7. These are the main objects to be kept in view ; bow are they to be effected ? Let any person desirous to commence the work invite three or four clergymen or gentlemen to meet and deter mine who should be asked to join. Let each bring a list of his own, and submit it to the others. Let a day be fixed for meeting, each inviting those best kown to him self. Let that meeting choose a committee, making all clergymen members ex officio, and select a secretary, re membering that on his tact and talent will mainly depend their ultimate success. _ _ FATAL RAILWAY A CCIDENT.--On Wednesday morn ing, as the six o'clock down train on the Landon and North Western (late London and Birmingham) line was stopping just on this side of Watford to take in water, it was run into by one of the "up-luggage trains, and the loss of one life is to be reckoned amongst the casualties ac cruing from this melancholy catastrophe, while one of the company's engineers, named Henry Gibbs, had both his legs crushed, and was otherwise much injured. LIVERPOOL, ORMSKIRK, AND PRESTON RAILWAY.— At the first ordinary general meeting of this company, on Wednesday,—Sir W. Fielder). Bart., in the chair,—the report which announced the success of the measure, was unanimously adopted. An extraordinary general meeting then took place, when it was agreed to sell the line to the East Lancashire for 26.162 new shares, of the nominal amount of £25 each, of which £2 10s. shall be considered to be paid, and 3 838 shares, upon which nothing has been paid, to be created by and in the East Lancashire, and that the directots be authorised to perfect deeds and as signments to carry such sale into full effect. LAMENTABLE ACCID ENT.—On Monday last a lament able accident occurred on the North British itailwav, at Aberdeen. Several arches at the inclined plane had been octonaplotoa, as.nal the •, , -oor..ctry ..waln.la-n erect iouro to support It while building were taken away last week ; and arrange ments were in progress to proceed with others. A little before eight o'clock in the morning three of the arches gave way, burying amongst the stones, bricks, and rub bish, a number of the workmen. Measures were instantly taken to relieve the unfortunate individuals ; but we la ment to state that after a tedious and arduous task of up wards of an hour, seven were taken out dead, having evi dently been killed instantaneously ; four others were got out, much bruised, of whom two were taken to the Infir mary, and two to their own houses. Two of these have sines died. THE NEW RAILWAY TUNNEL.—The directors of the London and North-Western Railway are about commenc ing the Victoria Tunnel, from Edge-hill to the Waterloo Dock, a distance of 2 miles. A spacious station for goods and cattle will be made between Great Howard street and the dock, extending from Stuart-street to the back of the warehouses fronting Formby-street. There will also be a goods' station in Hodson-street, behind By rom-street, which will be the only opening in the whole length. A splendid bridge is to be thrown over the rail way crossing the Wavertree-road, and also an iron bridge to carry Great Howard-street over the railway. The station at Edge-hill will be materially enlarged. When these extensive works are completed, both passengers, merchandise, and cattle will be taken from the side of the dock ; and the great nuisance of driving Irish cattle through the streets will at once be abated. The whole of these extensive works have been contracted for by our spirited townsmen, Messrs. Samuel and James Holme, and Mr. M'Cormick, the eminent contractor, conjointly, and the cost of them will be under £lBO,OOO. The bridge over the railway in Wavertree-road is to be completed in six months, and the whole work in two years. The subscription should be fixed low, so as to admit all classes who are attached to the constitution in Church. and State, but a separate fund formed by donations from the higher ranks. The committee should meet monthly, and communicate the result of their proceedings to the National Club, which will. in its turn, supply them with its papers, and with information of general interest;. they should use every exertion to place upon the registry such voters as will maintain our Protestant Church in its truth and integrity, resist the endowment of ltomanism, oppose all concessions to the Popish priesthood, with stand the introduction of a godless, and support a scriptu ral education in our schools. But whilst thus attending to the political, the social objects of the National Club. must not be forgotten. Let the committee of each as s ciation seek to secure for the humbler classes who enter their ranks all those benefits which they could derive from joining one of the friendly societies which are so nu merous; let them deliver monthly lectures, inducing clergymen, or laymen of approved character, and cautious in their selection of facts, to do this;" let them create a benefit fund, form a register for vacant situations, and thus bind together the wealthier and more influential chases with the poor but honest children of toil, who are equally true to their country and faithful to their Goa. . _ But to carry through these objects, a central union is wanted. That union will be furnished by the National Club. From each local association the National Club proposes to se'ect one or more influential members, who will enjoy all its privileges. Thus the different societies will be brought into common contact, and enabled to direct all their energies to one common end. If this be done—and nothing but the will is wanting to do it—when the vital struggle comes, the nation will be found ready. Signed, by order of the Committee, RICHARD NUGENT, Hon.

As a fur ther proof of this, we may refer to the fact that several lots of slightly ebsea-ed potatoes, of various kinds, were put among sand, turf mould, and charcoal, in the Royal Dublin Society's Botar.ic Garden, and placed in a cellar, where the air was cool and uniform, with a view of ascer taining how long they would keep. They were thus placed on the 17th of October last year, where they remained till Thursday, the 17th September, when they were taken out, and found to be as sound as wben stored, having produced strong shorts about two inches long, free from disease. It will be important to ascertain what their future fate may be, in the conservatory where they have been placed.
