Rumours have prevailed upon the subject for many days past ; but yesterday the report was circulated on the Bourse with an air of such apparent authenticity, and those who are gene rally most incredulous seeming to attach more than ordi nary importance to what, I confess, at first struck me as a piece of gambling gossip, that I determined upon ascer taining if any substantial grounds existed for the story. In one quarter I was told that after the last Cabinet Comicil—that held on Thursday, from which Lord PAL MERSTON absented himself until the close of the ministe rial deliberations—Lord ABERDEEN was understood to intimate to some of the higher officials connected with the Privy Council, that certain state papers, which are not usually prepared until within one month or five weeks of the opening of Parliament, would be required almost im mediately. A little more inquiry,. in the Downing-street district, brought me in contact with an old friend, to whom I am indebted for many pieces of political intelli gence, and from him I learned that the entire correspon dence of the British Government on the Russo-Turkish - question is at the present moment in the hands of the QUEEN'S Printers —that day by day copies of various des patches from the Foreign-office, and the communications of our Ambassadors, Plenipotentiaries, and Diplomatists, are poured into the same establishment, with instructions for "immediate proofs"—that the material for a monster bltte book are already conglomerated—and that, acting on Lord CLARENDON'S urgent instructions, every exertion is being used to keep the work what is technically called "close up," so that almost at a day's notice a presentation copy -of the volume may be got ready. My friend tells me that this proceeding indicates an intention on the part of Ministers to present the Russo-Turkish papers to the Senate immediately on the opening of Parliament, with out waiting for any DUDLEY STUART or BENJY HALL to call for them ; and he argues that the Foreign-office pres sure on the printing-office displays a determination to take that step certainly before Christmas. Lord ABERDEEN, it is added, will not sanction the active interference of our fleet without the distinct command of Parliament ; and as matters are daily becoming less rosy, the sooner, for the honour and glory of this country, that the British Senate send forth their resolve the. better. These things indicate the probability, if not the certainty, of an early meeting. If further confirmation were necessary, I may state that I have seen a letter from Lord Jogs B.'&s3Ei I. to a Member of the House of Commons, in which he states that "the work of legislation will almost to a certainty be resumed before the close of the year." There is a simple old English ditty, which begins— " Said the old jackdaw To the young jackdaw," which I wonder me much some city lyric poet, like the late THOMAS HUDSON, of facetious memory, or the present placid JAC OB B EULER, whose harmless rhyming and "reaming" wit and humour make city halls vocal at this period, did not venture to embody the sentiments of the municipal authorities at their great festive anniversary, within the enscript walls of Guild, on Wednesday last, — the almost ludicrous proceedings of the City Corporation Reform Commission, of which I believe Lord JOHN Ens situ, by this time, is sick, would have formed a fine theme. The new song might have begun thus— Said the old Lord Mayor To the new Lord Mayor— Not that I liken either functionary to the chattering bird —certainly not the one of Minerva—referred to at the commencement hereof. As far as the said commission has gone, it has acted in a very soft manner. With one of the best ex-judges as legal director—Sir J. PATTESON —poor fellow, being deaf, he was compelled to leave the bench in mid-time of his career. Sir J. PATTESON—notwith standing his remarkable likeness to the late JoHN REEVE, the best comedian of his sort for the last fifty Years — is dignified, calm, and sober always in his judgment ! Well, the City Commissioners have this great legal authority pretty well at their head—cer tainly at their elbow. They meet and sit wide-mbuthed in their stately chamber, lent to them for the nonce, and hear any antiquated, one-eyed, and spiteful gander, who chooses to offer evidence touching city iniquity. Copious word, which embraces within its ample and pendulous lip Bribery —Gluttony—Nepotism ! together with a thousand concomitant vices. Pshaw !- Sir J. PATTESON don't believe it. Why do you not inquire into the character of your witnesses ? The old Lord Mayor, the new Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs, past, present, and to come, Com mon Councilmen, full blown and in embryo, were all laughing at you during the Guildhall banquet. Their withers are unwrung ; it would not suit their books, they say, to act as witness ACLAND says—yea, swears. Mr. ACLAND, before he vouchsafed a word, begged he might be sworn—awfal ceremony for a loose evidence-giver—a uobe-mouche, who easily believes, swallowing all, and having succeeded in imposing on himself with an earnest tle,BB which none but your yobe-mouche can pourtray—not assume _makes other people believe in like manner. Re markable to analyse Acnaaan's evidence ; in all the start ling points he is monstrously wrong. So-and-so is nephew to an alderman —no, he ain't. That peaceful man HENRY CHILD, " friend and partner" of Alderman and Sheriff WIRE, is returning officer for Finsbury. No, I ain't, says Mr. Camp ! Touching the election of Alderman CARROLL to the civic chair ; ;—gross bribery there, , swore Mr. ACLAND. Not a sixpence, answered Sir GEORGE CARROLL 1 . The election of Alderman LAWRENCE, too, IS charged to the top with bribery; it cost £6,000, swore witness ACLAND; the Alderman denies that his election cost so much as half a pint of beer ! These are only a few samples which, by-and-bye, will form a blue book to cost the country more than the £6,000, mentioned above, in hard cash. The Times newspaper, always " pitching" into the Corporation, sucks in this evidence. The expressed dislike —contempt, indeed--of the Times' people for the city is marvellous, for one and all of them receive uniformly invitations to the best places at all the city banquets, and the parties referred to,—with their wives and duagliterS, when they have any, —as uniformly avail themselves of the opportunities of gulling and guzzling," as WILLIAM COBBETT used to say. Don't suppose, from the foregoing, that your Correspon dent holds the Corporation of London free from spot or blemish, or wrinkle ; the Corporation is marked by them all; it is not on that account that the BARINGS (sic ACLAND) do not belong to the Common Council and aspire to be Lords Mayor; but we'll let that puss; meantime to the show ;—" the play's the thing"—the Lord Mayor's Show, doomed to last, it may be another year or two. Until nearly seven o'clock in the evening all was sham. About the hour mentioned there was reality—real turtle hot ; but I am for getting the show. Never speak ill of the absent, is a sound English saying. How my grim and erst time-honoured friends, rouye et carmine, men in armour, were missed ; bah ! they were sham, but not so much sham as that poor young woman,-r-the figure of " Justice" in Lord SYDNEY'S show. Poor little girl, 'twas a pity she had not ASTLEY'S gas-light as usual with her ; your day-light and Sol, even on a 9th of November, are great detectors of pasteboard and other sham splendours. Figure of Justice! She had her scales, but she appeared—nay, was—wide awake. Justice hasalways been represented as blind or bandaged ! Our city friends are not nice. Justice is justice, with or without her eyes. The best j eke of the lot was the gold cart.—Australia, of course, with a real digger,—red flannel, black whiskers ; these were real,—so was the lump of quartz in the cart,—so were the quarts of BA.RCLA.Y, PERKIN PERKINS, and Co., which that honest gruff, Tom —, has milled away at for the last twenty years in Southwark, and who now, if he were to h ave a civic crown or gown, could not spell Australia.— ` , 1 ,",raporte.

To-DAY there has been a better feeling in our Sugar market, and the sales effected have been at prices not previously obtainable, the busi ness comprising 140hlids. Barbadoes at 32s to 395, 500 bags white Benares at 37s 6d to 40s 6d, and 450 bags dates at 33s to 33s 6d per cwt. 80 puns. St. Lucia Molasses have been sold at 15s 6d per cwt., and a small lot of Demerara Rum at previous prices.

There has again been an extensive demand for Arracan Bice, 30,000 bags having changed hands since Friday at 12s 9d to 13s, besides 800 bags Bengal at 15s to 15s 3d per cwt. We have also to report 300 bags Sumatra black Pepper at 41d. per lb., and 40 tons Lima Wood at £l2 12s to £l2 17s 6d per ton. COMMERCIAL 4 MONETARY NEWS, MONDAY NIGHT. THE returns of the Bank of England last week I again showed an increase in the stock of bullion to the amount of about £400,000. This has no doubt arisen from the diminished demand for discounts as 'shown by the decrease of £506,191 in " other securities." There were numerous reports during the week of hostilities between the Turks and Russians, but notwithstanding this apparent cause for depression, the Funds maintained their value with very slight variation. This firmness is owing to the scarcity of stock while money has been so abundant that the quantity on offer for advances on stock has not all been accepted. The Bank Directors have intimated that they will now discount the amount of the various petty stocks due in January, at the rate of three per cent., instead of r four per cent., as originally proposed. From the manufacturing districts the reports are of continued dulness, owing to the turn-out of the operatives, ,the apprehensions as to war in the East, and the disinclination to operate until- some definite con , elusion can be arrived at. - - - - WooL.—No change to notice this week : the transactions are again very limited, and prices without alteration. Since the improvement in the London sales, npticed at the commencement of last week, a rather better feeling has been manifest in this market ; and we hope to see more animation shortly. Import for this week, 1,042 bales. METALs.---There is still great activity in the Ron trade, owing to the large demand for all descriptions for exportation, and prices have ad vanced, Scotch Pigs having reached £4 per ton. Copper has increased in value no less than £9 10s. per ton, and a further rise is expected. THE WELLINGTON TESTIMONIAL.—A design for the testimonial, proposed to be erected in Liverpool to the great Duke of Wellington, has been made by Mr. Thorpe. It represents a portion of the globe, upon the apex fof which, elevated on a pedestal, is a figure of the Duke in an animated attitude, and surrounded by ten of his prin cipal companions in arms, including Lord Combermere, Lord Hill, the Marquis of Anglesey, Sir Thomas Picton, &c. ; and on the front of the pedestal is an inscription, " Glory to God on high : on earth peace, good will towards men." 'The design is left for inspection at Mr. Walmsley's, in Castle-street, and it is proposed that it shall be erected on the vacant space at the top of Shaw's Brow, so that, when the improvements are completed, it may form an elegant termination to the vista from the Town Hall. NEW PLANET.—Mr. Hind has discovered a new planet in the constellation Taurus, about two degrees south of the ecliptic. It is rather brighter than stars of the ninth. magnitude. This planet is the ninth which he has dis covered since the commencement of a systematic search in 1£346, and raises the number of that extraordinary group of worlds between Mars and Jupiter to twenty seven. OCEAN STEA3IERS, &c.—At the last meeting of the In stitution of Civil Engineers, a paper was read " On the Speed and other Properties of Ocean Steamers, and on the Measurement of Ships for Tonnage," by Mr. A. Hender son. After alluding to a paper brought before the insti tution in 1817, by the same author, in which the fallacy of using registered tonnaffe and nominal horse-power, as the index of the capabilities or speed of steamers, was shown, by a comparison of their relative proportions and elements of resistance with the steam-power employed, the present paper referred to a tabular form, containing copious details of dimensions and of general information, as to the form, proportions, and speed realized by ocean steamers, compiled from documents emanating from the department of the surveyor of the navy, and from the returns made to parliament , by the Post-office and the Admiralty ; showing that, between the years 1845 and 1851, on an aggregate mail service of 1,271,000 miles, the speed realized only averaged 7.945 knots per hour, which was far short of the speed generally sup posed to be maintained by mail steamers, the highest speed being 84 knots per hour, between Marseilles and Alexandria, by H.M. mail packets, and the lowest 7iknots per hour, between Ceylon and China, by contract steamers. Reference was then made to a tabular statement, published by the Committee on Steam Communication with India, showing the station of each steamer, including six packets of the Indian navy, running upwards of 325,000 miles, at a speed of B'oB2 knots per hour, and eleven contract steamers of the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany, running above 533,720 miles, and averaging 7192 knots per hour. By the same table the speed of the iron steamer Pekin was shown to be 7133 knots per hour; the old timber steamers, Lady Mary Wood and Braganza, realizing only 7'378 knots and 7'249 knots per hour respectively. Some observations were offered on the various proportions, forms, and resist ance of ocean steamers, and the difficulty of obtaining a fair criterion of relative efficiency ; with suggestions, that the information might be obtained by recording the particulars required in the columns of a table, similar to one which was exhibited, from which it appeared that the proportions of vessels varied from five-and-a-quarter to eight times their breadth to their length. That the length of the five steamers realizing 84 knots per hour averaged less than six times their breadth. while that of those which realized less than 8* knots averaged upwards of seven-and-a-half times their breadth. The second part of the paper was "On the measurement of Ships." It was contended that the present register of particulars, by omitting the depth gave less information than the old register ; that calcula tions of tonnage deduced from internal measurement must show discrepancies of ten, or even fifteen per cent. between the computed tonnage of timber and of iron ships, of the same size or external bulk ; therefore, it had become neces sary to introduce a method of computation, deduced from both internal and external measurement, so as to combine the capacity for stowage, and the weight or the load, and the displacements.

The total increase of exports-on the month, as compared with the corres ponding month of last year, is no less than £1,446,708 ; while for the whole nine months of the year the increase amounts to £12,596,291. The articles of British produce and manufactures, estimated according to the declared value of expor tation, upon which the principal increase arises in the month's account, are as follow :- 1852. 1853.

The only other articles which show a decrease are—Earthenware, £3,066 ; Salt, £2,832 ; Thrown Silk, £3,088 ; and Refined Sugar, £5,439. Upon articles imported and taken for home con sumption, there appears to have been an increase on most of those chiefly used for food, but a THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. LAST night, at the ordinary meeting of this society, held at the Royal Institution, Mr. J. B. YATES presided. The Rev. Dr. HUME exhibited some interesting manu scripts from the Irelande collection ; after which Mr. TowsoN, in the absence of Mr. HAETNUP, related some facts in connection with the newly-discovered planet. This is the twenty-seventh discovered between Mars and Jupiter. It is the brightest of the small planets, and can he seen by the " finder " of the Liverpool telescope. It was observed by Mr. Hartnup on three sucessive days lately, and its character fully estab lished. Mr. MABRATT exhibited a new species of mineral. Its appearance under the blow-pipe is similar to that of borax, and it has a like smell. It does not melt under the influence of heat, but is luminous in the same way as lime in magnesia. Mr. Cox exhibited some speci mens of Chinese coins, and also an earth-worm, which was very phosphorescent. The paper of the evening was then read by Mr. JOSEPH BOULT, being a reply to the view taken by Dr., Wiseman of commerce fostering art. Mr. BOULT contended, citing crowded instances, that art had always been best fostered by suc cessful war and by religion, and that commerce engendered a selfishness which was in reality obstructive to the pro gress of art. The subject was ingeniously argued, and the paper listened to with great interest. A discussion fol lowed, in which Mr. Towson, the Rev. Mr. Robberds, the Rev. Mr. Ramsay, Mr. Forshaw, and other gentlemen took part ; and Mr. BOULT having replied, the society adjourned. THE ,SEAMEN'S FRIEND SOCIETY. LAST night, the thirty-second annual meeting of this society was held at the Great George-street chapel. There was a good attendance. The Rev. Dr. Raffles presided, and, the meeting having been opened with the usual devotional exercises, the report, which was very lengthy, was read by the secretary, the Rev. James Buck. This stated that owing to the advanced price of ships the idea of getting an additional floating chapel had been abandoned, but all the energies of the committee would be directed to the founding of a suitable chapel, with school and reading-room, on shore. They, therefore, were compelled to .make an appeal to the port generally, in favour of the design, as the sum reqUired would be about £5,000. The report then set forth the religions services held on board the various Australian emigrant ships leaving the port, and said, in respect to the public worship in the Bethel Union, that there was a marked improve ment in the attendance. With respect to missionary efforts amongst the seamen in port, attention had been directed principally to the central docks, leaving the ex treme north and south, untouched. One hundred and thirty seamen's boarding and lodging-houses had been regularly visited, and tracts were distributed in them. £l5 had been spent in the publications of the Religious Tract Society, of which during the year 40,000 copies had been circulated. Forty-four ship libraries had been lent out for the use of crews, consisting in all of 947 volumes. The chairman then read the trea surer's account, which showed that the expenditure had been £659 13s. 11d., and the receipts £164 19s. 6d., showing a balance due to the treasurer of £196 4s. sd. The Rev. C. M. Birrell moved the first resolution for the adoption of the report, which was seconded by the Rev. A. Cromar, and carried • and the meeting was sub sequently addressed by several other gentlemen. TrAFEETREE LOCAL BOARD OF _HEALTH: LAST night the ordinary monthly meeting of the Waver tree Board of Health took place, the Rev. W. Badnall, chairman, presiding; there were also present Messrs. Anderton, Bowers, Chaffer, Davis, Gore, Hill, Picton, Rushton, and Witham. The meeting having been for some time engaged in consideration of the financial business of the board, reporters were admitted at a few minutes past seven. The public business then began by reading the minutes of the previous meeting. In the course of reading these, Mr. DAVIS reported, verbally, that the nuisance com plained of at Rose-lane had been greatly abated, and he had reason for believing that it would soon be entirely removed, as he understood a person would be proposed in a few days to give a tender for the executicn of the work. THE RAILWAY BRIDGE. In reference to the resolution of the board, appointing Mr. M'Connel referee on its behalf, for arranging the terms of- settlement between the board and the railway com pany, for the altering and maintaining the railway bridge, a letter was read from that gentleman respectfully declin ing to act, his reasonsbeing a multiplicity of engagements. A conversational discussion ensued on this subject, in which several members of the board took part. It ended in the adoption of a proposal by Mr. PICTON, that, as the matter is not of pressing emergency, it may lie over for the consideration of another meeting, and that, in the meantime, Mr. Atherton, law clerk of the board, be instructed to communicate with Mr. Evans, railway contractor, and, if consistent with that gentleman's convenience, to secure his services as referee. COUNTY POLICE NOTICE. The CHAIRMAN brought wider notice of the board a sub ject which had engaged.4s attention at last meeting-. He meant the notice posted in the village under the authority of Mr. Allen, superintendent of police, authorizing the inhabitants to remove middies and other nuisances during the day, and that without consulting the local board. A communication had been made to the superintendent on the subject, anti that gentleman bad written a letter to the board stating that the notice in question was meant to apply to the rural districts, and was not intended to inter fere with Wavertree. Its being posted there was a mere accident. and should not be repeated. He also expressed his regret that the notice should, even accidentally, have been posted in Wavertree. INTERMENT AT BISHOP ETON. The CII.A.IUMIN next brought under the notice of the board that an interment had taken place at the chapel of Bishop Eton, a place not in any way licensed for inter ments, and one in which it was conceived an infringement of the law had taken place, by which the parties had in curred liability to a penalty of £5O. Intimation of the fact had been made to Henry Sharpies, Esq., and that gentleman had sent the following letter in reply : Oswaldscroft, 29th October. " Sir,—l have this morning received yours, of the 27th inst., with a copy of the reso l u ti on o f th e W aver t ree Board of Health. I beg to inform the board that the chapel at Bishop Eton was built prior to the year 1848, and it was contemplated using part of the adjoining land for the purposes of burial for private parties, occupying the premises within the walls, but no actual interment was made- consequence of the intimation I received from your surveyor, throwing doubt on the legality of the burial, the facts were immediately reported to.the General Roard of Health, whose reply has not been received. I trust this communication will satisfy the board that there was no intention of acting against the law, and, if it is absolutely required, the corpse must be r em ove d ; b u t, as applica tion is being made to have the ground licensed for private burial, it is hoped this will not be necessary.—l am, &c. " HENRY SHARPLES. " To the Clerk of the Wavertree Board of Health." A conversation took place in connection with this sub ject, in the course of which Mr. PICTON suggested that the ground should be sur veyed, and the eligibility of applying it to burial purposes ascertained. This view was concurred in by Messrs. Rushton and Gore. TUE SEWERAGE REPORT, DT MR. NEWLAND& A report by Mr. Newlands, as to the means of getting rid of the waters in the tank was read. It recommended, as may be said, in general terms, the construction of a drain, 434 yards in length, to meet the main sewer in Oxford-street, with a fall of 1 in 222. The construction of this would take the water off about two feet below the lowest cellar. In floods the water might probably stand a little higher. This would secure an overflow, but if in superable difficulties occur in the execution of this plan, s team-power and a pumping apparatus might be applied to keep the water in the tank at a lower level. After some discussion it was agreed to remit the report back to Mr. Newlands, and to request that he would fur nish probable estimates as to the cost of the drain, and cs to the annual cost of pumping. - DAI . 7GEROCEI lINPENCED PLACE. Mr. CHAFFER moved, anCiifr.ooaesec(i•nded, the mo tion, that the Sandown Park Company be called on to fence a place called " The Happy Valley," which was a dangerous place in many respects. The motion was carried. THE BURIAL GROUND. Mr. PICTON directed attention to the condition in which the village is placed with respect to the burial ground, which is so filled up that intimation has been given that no more funerals can take place in it. The village being thus practically deprived of any burying ground, it was to the great disgrace of Lord Salisbury, that he had re fused to sell one inch of ground for the purpose of being made into a burying ground. A meeting on the subject of providing for tins want had been called, but the pro ceedings had been characterised by such irregularities that it had been given up. Mr. ATHERTON, law-clerk to the board, read clauses of several acts of parliament relative to this subject, from which it appeared that the churchwardens were the proper parties to call such a meeting, which must be held on the requisition of ten ratepayers, after seven days' notice. Some other business having been disposed of, the board adjourned. THE FLOOD IN IRELAND.—The Cork Examiner says, that the injury to property by the late floods in that city will exceed £60,000. The entire country near Macroom was inundated to even a greater extent than in Cork. BURY.—AII the mills of the associated masters in this town, except three, closed on Friday, and about 6250 more operatives are consequently deprived of employment by " lock-out" on the part of their employers ; and three other mills, employing 1200 hands, will close on the 16th instant. The operatives of Bury formed their union about three months ago, and gave notice of their intention to strike unless an advance was conceded. ROBBERIES.--On Sunday evening, the premises of Mr. Lea, white-cooper, St. James's-street, were forcibly entered by thieves. They had broken in with a "jemmy" at the back, in Moor-street, and ransacked the place, but succeeded only in finding and carrying off eighteenpence.--Yesterday afternoon, a farmer, f rom Ch es hi re, was en ti ce d b y f our well-dressed men int o a pu b l i c-house i n t h e ne i g hb ourhood of St. George's-hall, and swindled by the " card trick" u Sunda y night, an Irish fruit dealer went with some girls into a h ouse, near Williamson-square, and w as robbed of £5O. CASE OF STABLING. -011 Sunday afternoon, as a sailor namedotof £4.—On Matthews, belonging to the ship Andrew Foster, was passing along Tithebarn-street, he was rudely pushed against by a man named William Christie, a butcher, re siding in Rose-place, who was the worse for drink at the time. An altercation took place, during which several parties joined Christie, among whom was John Kane. Matthews and Christie were fighting, when the latter drew a small knife from his pocket, and stabbed Matthews in the neck and on the face. Christie was taken into cus tody, when Kane attempted to rescue him from the police. Ultimately, they were both secured, and taken to Bride well, while Matthews was removed to the hospital, where his wounds, which bled very profusely, were dressed. The prisoners were, yesterday, arraigned before the police ma gistrates, but on account of the absence of an important witness, the consideration Of the case was adjourned, ITHE B OILER EXPLOSION AT BLACKBURN. ME adjourned inquest was resumed on Saturday, and Mr. Fairbairn, engineer, of Manchester, gave his opinion as to the cause of the explosion. He said : • In tracing the causes of this accident I am'relieved from anything approaching to uncertainty, by the fact that the boiler was totally inadequate to the work it had to perform. First. It was 16 feet lone., 6 feet 6 inches deep, 5 feet 2 inches wide, and composed of plates *ths of an inch thick on the sides and top, and inch thick over part of the bottom. Secondly. It was old, of the waggon shape, and the worst possible form to sustain severe pressure. Thirdly. It was improperly and injudiciously stayed, reposinc , large flat surface to internal pressure. Fourthly. It had an exceedingly defective safety valve, and generally, it was totally unsuited in strength and form to work a non : condensing and high pressure steam engine. After explaining the - operation Of steam pressure on such a boiler, he said,—With things in this state, with the force applied on the one hand, and the powers of re sistance on the other in direct antagonism, (if I may use the expression,) it appears that the lives of every one em ployed in the walls, or within reach of the influence of this explosive vessel, were, and had been for years, sus pended by a thread, which the least change of pressure might in a moment cut asunder. That moment arrived on the morning of the 2d instant, and fortunate it was that the catastrophe occurred at a time when the people were at breakfast, or a greatly increased number of suffer ers might have been added to the list. Looking at the ruins, and the position in which the boiler was found after the explosion, I am of opinion that the end next the steam-engine was the first to give way ; that an active fire was under the boiler when the engine was standing, and the only escape for the steam was through a valve 11 inches diameter. Now, this valve was totally insufficient to relieve the boiler from the rapidly increasing pressure which, for some time previous to the rupture, had been taking place iu the boiler. After some other witnesses had been examined, the in quiry was again adjourned till this day (Tuesday.) HANDEL'S " SAMSON. "—Our readers will feel obliged tons for remindingthem that this magnificent production of the prince of composers will be given on Tuesday next, in the Philharmonic-hall, by the full strength of the Phil harmonic Society. Such an attraction cannot fail to outrival the celebrated Grisi concerts, when ticket 4 for admission were at a premium days before the performance. NEW MAYORS.

OF AMERICA.—The panoramic views of the course of the Mississippi, the greatest of North Ameri can rivers, is now open for inspection in the Queen's Hall, Bold-street. The panorama is painted with much atten tion to accuracy, on a very large scale. It embraces scenes representative of the peculiarities and perils which attend the navigation of that mighty river. Scenes illustrative of the different climates to be met with in the course of the river's flow are introduced. A lecture, descriptive of the scenes and incidents occurring in the picture, is de livered with much effect by Mr. Hamilton, and the exhi bition is diversified by well-adapted vocal performances. TILE BRISTOL MEETING HOUSE CASE.—On Tuesday Vice-Chancellor Wood gave judgment in the case of the Attorney-General v. Clapham. This judgment was, in substance, in favour of the Conference party. It is re served to a further hearing to determine how it shall be applied to the circumstances of the particular case; but the decision is such as to secure in the future management of the Bristol trusts a large majority of trustees who are members of the Wesleyan society. The proportion will be fourteen to five. In two other instances, both arisinc , in the Louth Circuit, it has been necessary during the last week to resort to legal proceedings, for the pro tection of connexional property. AN M.P. CHAPEL CLERK.—Tne Leeds Times is full of admiration of the humility of Frank Crossley, Esq., M.P., who, it appears, having brought a London preacher down with him, acted as clerk by giving out the Psalm in the absence of the regular official. Actually, however incredible such wonderful condescension may be, " the congregation had the pleasure of hearing an hon. M.P. give out, ' Let us sing to the praise and glory of God, the hymn.' It is not every day," our contemporary adds, "that an hon. M.P. so humbles himself,"—nor, if he will forgive us for saying so, that an editor makes such an ass of himself.—Stockport Advertiser. RESIGNATION OE THE GOVERNOR OF NEW ZEALAND. •It is now known that it is the intention of his excellency the governor to proceed to England, on leave of absence for a period of twelve months. Sir George Grey has now been eight years the governor of this colony, during a pe riod of unexampled difficulty, in which questions of all sorts, affecting the well-being and even the very existence of the colony, were continually arising, in which he has had not merely to frame a policy and lay the foundation of the future stability and prosperity of the country, but by his prudence and sagacity to. repair the disasters oc casioned by the grievous errors and misgovernment of his predecessors, as well as those mischiefs arising out of the folly and misconduct of the New Zealand Company.—Aus tralian and New Zealand Gazette. WAD. AND WEATIIER.—In order to understand in smile slight, measure the present aspect of affairs in the East, it has become necessary to abandon the shifting and deceptive scenes of diplomacy for the realities of a military campaign. One of the most powerful arguments of the be lievers in a pacific settlement by ambassadors or plenipoten - tiaries was, that the climate and the soil of the Danubian Principalities would preclude the possibility of immediate hostilities between the Russians and the Turks. Moldavia and Wallachia are visited in the autumn by violent storms of rain, which soak the loose and heavy ground, and render it impracticable for carts, artillery, or men. The rivers, swollen by these autumn falls, become im passable, and the marshy grounds of the Lower Danube are in lakes of muddy water. By a curious turn of sea sons, the autumn rains have not come down this year, the provinces are dry, and the Danube is so low that the ordinary mouths are closed to every sort of traffic. The warlike spirit of the Turks has thus been served by Pro vidential droughts, and diplomacy been worsted by the weather.—Leeds Times. _ _ _ PROTESTANT BURIAL GROUND IN MADRID.— The Paris correspondent of the Times writes, on theauthority of private letters from Madrid :—" You have been already informed that the:burial-ground question was definitively, and so far satisfactorily, arranged between the English Charge d'Affaires and the Spanish Government. The form of arrangement is, it appears, as concisely drawn up as possible ; this is of little importance, as the principal points have been conceded. The proposition which was considered by the Spanish government the most obnoxious of all—namely, the celebration of funeral obsequies with a certain display of religious pomp—has been set aside ; but the bodies of protestants will be borne to the grave in the same manner as Roman Catholics are, in a hearse with carriages following. There is no permission for religious processions, and no clergyman is to follow in the streets dressed in his canonicals ; but once in the ceme- tery, which will be enclosed, the religious ceremony may be performed in any manner the attendants may think proper. When we remember the propositions contained in the letter of General Lersundi, and the sort of insulting concessions which his government would only consent to, the present arrangement, should it turn out to be of the nature I refer to, may on the whole be considered satis factory ; and it is but just to admit that the Sartorius cabinet has, in this respect at least, shown itself far more liberal, more humane, and more tolerant than the one which preceded it." THE SLAVE V. THE MASTER. A case of great in terest was decided in the Covington Circuit Court recently. We have been at some difficulty in obtaining the facts, which are as follows : Sam Norris, a coloured man, has been living in Covington about five years, has married a free coloured woman, and has had by her several children. He belongs to a Mr. J. N. Patton, of Virginia, who per mitted him to come to Covington and engage in whatever services he thought proper, on condition that Sam would pay him, out of his earnings, a stipulated sum per annum—we believe $lOO dollars. The surplus, whatever it might be, was to belong to the slave. Sam was pulictual for several years. He was sober and industrious in his way, and very prosperous. About two years ago Mr. Patton came west on a visit, and agreed with Sam that if he would pay him the sum of $4OO within four years he would give him his freedom. Sam gratefully accepted the proposal, and at once paid down, out of his hard earnings, $135, and has since given his master some $4O or $5 O more. Patton now comes forward to rescind the contract, and claim his slave. The case was yesterday decided by the Hon. Judge Pryor in favour of Patton. In delivering his decision, his Honour stated the following facts :-1. That the laws of Kentucky recognize but two modes of liberating slaves—by will, and by deeds of emancipation. 2. That a slave cannot make a contract. 3. That the contract was executory, and the time fixed for the negro's freedom future and contingent. 4. That so long as Sam was a slave, the master was entitled to his services, and the money he (Patten) had received was, in law his own. The opinion was able and elaborate, and the authorities numerous and decided. His Honour charac terized the case as one of great hardship and cruelty, and every one in the court-room seemed to sympathize deeply with the poor negro. The case, we understand, has been appealed to the Supreme Court of the State.— Cincinnati Corn. ROMANCE IN REAL LIBE.—The Galway Vindicator of Saturday says—" The barque Clarence yet remains in the Roads, wind bound. She carries over 100 emigrant passengers for New York. On Thursday, a remarkable and interesting scene took place on board, which is worth recording. It appears that a young man and woman, of the peasant order, had for some time past entertained a tender feeling for each other. Both are represented as being fine specimens of the class to which they belong --the woman comely, and the man tall and athletic. Some family circumstances having forbidden their union, an elopement took place. But the elopement only reached the length of the pair going to a friend's house at some distance, where the bride that was to be was given in charge to the wife of the young man's friend. It subsequently turned out that the seemingly fickle swain refused to marry the girl, owing to the persuasions of his relations ; and her friends, indignant at the slight cast upon her, fitted her out for a higher matrimonial market across the Atlantic. Her passage was paid for New York, her luggage on board, the vessel only waiting for a fa vourable breeze, and the comely lass herself had taken leave of her friends _and was sitting tearful on the deck of the emigrant ship, when a change came over the spirit of the gallant Lothario. Groups were clustered at the side of the vessel taking a last view of the shores they might never again behold, when a small boat was seen approaching, containing a single passenger and the oarsman. She soon neared the Clarence, when he sprang on deck, and before the surprise of the young woman and passengers was over she was clasped in his arms. • A jar of whisky was hoisted on board from the boat, and in a few moments there was a change from showers to sunshine—from depression to festivity, every passenger drinking to the healths of those who had re newed their love at the last moment. The pair were married the same evening, and thu.; some naturalised Irishman in New York has hOcil deprived Of a lovely and loving wife." TUESDAY: NOVEMBER 15, 1853. p HIL HARMONIC-HAL L. - TO THE PUBLIC. TICKETS can now be had for TUESDAY next, the 22nd instant, when Handel's sublime Oratorio of SAMSON, with a Band and Chorus of 250 performers, will take place. Madame VIARDOT GARCIA will sing "Let the bri;ht Seraphim," with Trumpet Obligato. THE STRIKE MO VEMENT AT WIGAN. WIGAN, MONDAY. DESPITE the counsel and exertions of the delegates and Committee of the Miners' Association, the strike of col liers in Wigan and the surrounding district, which has been carried on upwards of two months, is daily being brought to a close. The resumption of work by the col liers employed at the collieries of the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres, at Haigh, has been the cause of the miners of other collieries in this neighbourhood making applica tion, at their respective collieries, to resume work. This morning, about 20 colliers, and an equal number of draw ers, resumed work at the Moss-hall colliery (Messrs. R . Christopher and Co. ;) and more than that number Of men and boys also resumed work at the Gravel-lane pit, belonging to the Ince-hall Coal and Cannel Company. Upwards of 20 colliers, and an equal number of drawers, also commenced work at the Kirkless-hall Coal and Cannel Company's coal-pits, in Ince. The colliers engaged at the Rose-bridge and Kirkless Collieries have also signified their intention of resuming work to-morrow (Tuesday) morning. The whole of the colliers who have resumed work at the various collieries in this district, have gone in at the prices paid previous to the strike, except in the case of Messrs. Blundell and Son, of Pemberton, where the men received an advance, which placed their wages on an equal scale with the prices paid at other collieries in the neighbourhood. On Saturday the members of the Miners' Association Committee issued the following ad dress, which was posted in the outskirts of the town : " To the public of Wigan and the surrounding district. " We, the miners of Wigan and its vicinity, beg to state to a misguided public, and the masters also, that the rumour now abroad that we are going to our work on the same conditions that we came out, is entirely untrue, with the exception of the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres's men. But, as a body of men, we are deter mined to stand man by man until some amicable arrange ment is made between masters and men, as we have before stated.—Yours, respectfully, " THE MINERS' COMMITTEE." We are fully prepared to deny the fallacious argument put forth in this address, by the testimony of the coal proprietors at whose collieries the men have resumed work within the last few days. The whole of the mills un this town still remain closed, except that of Mr. James Gillow, of Ince, which com menced on Thursday last. Early this morning a number of the operatives assembled in front of the entrances to several of the mills (Messrs. H. Wood's, T. Taylor and Brother's, and N. Eckersley's), to ascertain whether the mills would be re-opened; but, after waiting upwards of an hour without the • gates being opened to them, they returned home. It is expected that some, if not all, of the mills will be opened in the course of the week, at nearly the same prices as given previous to the strike ; at which time several of the masters were paying rather higher prices than others, and refuse to do so any longer ; consequently, in some instances, when the mills are again opened, some of the operatives will be subjected to a re duction. To this they at present refuse to submit ; but we think they cannot hold out much longer, the distress among them being very great. STATE OF WIGAN. —The greatest portion of the military called into Wigan on the occasion of the late riots, de parted en route for their head-quarters, Preston and Manchester, on Saturday last, leaving two companies of the 34th regiment at the Public Hall and Sawmills. The town remains quiet, but the authorities are afraid of further outrage being committed, and acting upon a recommenda tion of Lord Palmerston, nearly 500 special constables (men of all ranks) have been sworn in. This morning Peter Rutter and John Leadbetter, two colliers appre hended on a charge of being concerned in qv late riot, were again brought up before the Mayor, r. Eckersley, and N. Eckersley, Esqrs. On the recommendation of the chief constable, the prisoner Rutter was discharged to give evidence. The evidence of Rutter and a man named Levi Collier, proved that the prisoner, with two other colliers, had led on a number of young men dawn the Hall gate, where they destroyed the street lamps ; broke several panes of glass in the shop windows ; accused the witnesses of being spies, and had thrown a number of missiles at them whilst making their escape. The prisoner denied the charge, and was remanded till Monday nes% WRECK OF THE CALIFORNIA.—The California, which left Sligo on the 18th september, with emigrants, was wrecked on the 4th inst., about 150 miles from the Island of Achil. The passengers and crew left the vessel in three boats, two of which arrived at Achil on Tuesday morning. There were about 60 persons in the two boats, 15 of whom died—some at sea, and some since landing. The survivors are in the private houses, in a wretched condition. The third boat had not been heard of when the last accounts had left the island, but no fears were entertained for its safety, as its crew had a compass, and there was a good stock of provisions on board. The vessel sprang a leak, and sank instantly. The persons in the two boats which arrived had suffered dreadfully from want of fresh water. JUVENILE EXTRAVAGANCE IN THE NAM—Circum stances have been stated to us connected with the above which reveal a sad system in the navy. There are many young:men of from 15 to 18, whose friends, regardless of the real welfare of their charges, administer to their ex travagances in a manner surprising and lamentable. The evil does not stop there. Those of lesser means, includ ing sons of naval and military officers, enticed by their wealthy messmates, rush with them into dissipation and ruin. In vain• are appeals made to the feelings of these infatuated young men. They care nothing whom they impoverish so long as they obtain the means of indulging their vicious propensities. Other young officers, who have no friends and but slender private means, are in the mean while placed in the most galling position. Unable to com pete with their aristocratic or plutocratic compeers, they either retire from the service with dismay, or eke out a most uncomfortable existence, denying themselves, often amid the jeers of their thoughtless associates, the luxuries in which their messmates freely indulge. A few years ago a wine bill was a thing almost unknown in a midship-,, man's berth. It is now more common than a milk-score.' In every particular a youngster's necessary expenses are increased. His washing bill is tripled, the expense of his servant is nearly doubled, and his bare necessa ries increased at least 50 per cent. If added to these there is wine and a dozen other of incidentals to be paid for, it is clearly impossible for a young man to pay his way without a very full exchequer to draw upon. The subject has been frequently urged upon the consideration of the Amiralty, and some captains of ships, in compliance with instructions to that efiect, have taken no small trouble to abate the evil. But we fear that such captains are exceptions to the rule, and that the gene rality give themselves no concern in the matter. The Admiralty standard of allowance to a young gentleman is ample ; £5O a-year is sufficient for all the legitimate wants of a midshipman under the age of 19 ; and if the Admi ralty were to insist that that sum should not only be the minimum but the maximum allowance, a wonderful check would be put to the demoralizing and highly injurious prac tices now in force. We are no advocates for meanness, but its opposite extreme is so highly to be deprecated that we would rather see a return to the discomforts of half a cen tury ago than witness the reckless expenditure now carried on in many ships. Those who value the welfare of the rising generation of young officers will, we hope, avail them selves of this hint. The service cannot do without the ad mixture of plebeian and patrician —poor and rich. The friendless officers may be designated the active partners in the concern. Drive them out, and the service would certainly . not be increased in efficiency ; and driven out they assuredly must be unless some steps are taken to arrest the wild career of extravagance now prevalent among the junior classes of the navy, more especially in the Channel fleet.—United Service Gazette. A PICTURE FROM TUE SCENE OF WAR, NEAR SIIITMLA —Rostchuk is a large town in Bulgaria, of some 30,000. inhabitants, situated on a promontory advancing into the Danube. From the roofs of its houses a splendid view may he obtained over thevast winding river, which is sufficiently deep to carry merchantmen of large size. An immense number of vessels are constantly anchored along the quays. From a distance the town has a magnificent appearance ; but, as usual, the streets are narrow, dirty, and dismal. The lower parts of the houses, as is the case everywhere in Turkey, are without windows. The shops are generally tolerably well supplied with merchandise. Travellers bound for Constantinople hire horses at this place, and put themselves under the guidance of a Tartar. The distance to Shumla is reckoned generally 22 hours. The road is picturesque, and for some time after starting the Danube remains in sight. Between Siniouscha and Tomlak it is descried, however, for the last time from a lofty table land. The road then enters the valley of the Lom, bor dered on both sides by precipices and carpeted with ver dure. As yon proceed the ground rises and the path leads across hills and valleys, here and there covered with brushwood. All the country is thinly inhabited. Now and then Bulgarian villages may be seen in the dis tance; but on the road are only one or two solitary khans. The neighbourhood of hidden inhabited places is indicated by wells on the roadside, from which paths lead up into the mountains. Women with jars upon their heads are sometimes seen coming down for water. The first halt is usually as Razgrad, a town inhabited by about 15,000 Moslems and a few Bulgarian families. As a rule the Chris tians, whose occupations are almost entirely agricultural, are disseminated in small villages throughout the country. Their number is estimated at between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000. The Turks, infinitely less numerous, are con gregated in the great towns, but there are some villages here and there entirely Turkish. As th ey are genera ll y placed in commanding positions, they are probaby inha bited by descendants of old military colonies, established to keep the country in subjection. Beyond R azgra d th ere still continues a succession of valleys and hills. The latter in crease gradually in height until, from the tableland of Buratlare, the height of Shumla and the long range of the Balkans stretching with the uniformity of a wall be hind come in sight. A little further on the view suddenly opens to the left, and the eye, following the magnificent valley of Paravadis, distinguishes in fine weather the deep bay of Varna on the Black Sea. Crossing a steep range of hills, by a defile commanded by a redoubt—probably at present by many such fortifications—we come at length in sight of the great defensive works of Shumla, to . reach which the road makes a considerable curve.—Dickens' Household Words.
