FINE ARTS.

cfcTuRE BY TURNER.
Messrs. Colnaghi, of Pall Mall, have now on view
•pieture, by Turner, representing "The Wreck of the
Minotaur, 74, lost off the Hack Sands, on tke Dutch Come,
in 1810." Fond as Turner was of delineating inland
riven and placid lagoons, he hail, if possible, a @Meyer
predilection for tempestuous maritime subjects. Without
dwelling on the fine picture in the Ellesmere collection, we
may call to mind • similar subject to the present one, the
first picture from his easel, which received the honours ofj
the graver. Messrs. Cslnaghi intend to issue a companion '
to thin—now scarce—mezzotint engraving, by Charles
Turner, and have entrusted Mr. Henry Cousins with its
execution. The" Wreck," which was • main feature of
the British Institution Exhibition in 1850, was painted some
forty years since. and has acquired the mellowness of an old
master.pitee—a quality which the warm brown ink of the
mezzotint will convey more satisfactorily than the chillier
method of line engraving. The groups struggling in the
boisterous surge, sometimes failing in grey mist, or more
prominently brought forward in artful gleams of light, will
he as effective as in Constable's favourite black and white
'weavings.

IRELAND.

Deauw, Msame 21.
The members of the new administration, who are
compelled to appeal to Irish constituencies for their
re-election, are apparently doomed to meet with op-
position in every .nstance.
This morning, the electors of Trinity College are I
requested " to hold themselves disengaged until after
twelve o'clock on Monday next, as a friend of na-
tional education and liberal principles is now can-
sousing the electors in the provinces, and will pre-
sent himself in person to the Dublin electors within
twenty-four hours." Who the new champion may
be is yet a mystery,but there is at least a chance that
Mr. rapier will not he allowed to have a walk over.
The Roman catholic electors of Belfast have held 1
a meeting and resolved to abstain from giving
pledgee to any candidate for the representation, that
they might be free to vote for the most eligible per
son who may come forward on the proper occasion to
claim the votes of the liberal party.
After the final deposit of the remain■ of the late
Archbishop Murray in the vaults of the Homan ca-
tholic metropolitan church yesterdav, a chapter of
the Boman catholic clergy was held and the Very
Rev. DOW Meagher was chosen vicar capitular.
The dean is a staunch friend of national education,
and, I believe I may add, of the Queen's colleges. A
rumour prevail* very generally that whatever the
three names sent to Mime for the Pope to select the
successor of Dr. Murray from, may be, it is more
than probable that the vacant seat may be tilled up
by the translation hither of Dr. Cullen from Armagh.
This would of course be a step downwards in the
ecclesiastical order, as Dr. Cullen should in that ease
divest himself of the titular primacy ; but the loss
would be made up fur by the greater extension given
to his sphere of activity in the Irish metropolis. The
rumour, however, does not seem very likely to be
At three o'clock yesterday, at a privy council
held io Dublin Castle, 11r. WhatelY. Archbishop of
Dublin, and Lieut.. General Sir Edward Blakeney,
Commander of the Forces in Ireland, were sworn in
as Lords Justices.
It became known in Dublin yesterday that Baron
Lefroy had received the appointment of Chief Justice
of the Queen's Bench. This I mentioned on Satur-
day would be the arrangement decided on. Mr.
Greene will probably be his successor in the Ex-
chequer.
Lord Eglinton is expected here at the close of
next week.

' feet in the returns of the company. It was announced
that the directors have thought it advisable to apOw
to parliament for powers to enlarge the compacta
blueness.

The Board of Trade returns for the month ended
btb February, were issued this day, and present a
very satisfactory view of the trade of the country.
The total exports of British and Irish produce and
manufactures were 4,821,7811. against 4,817,87 W.
in the same month of 1851, and 4,089,4311. in 1850;
showing a continuous increase, and, as compared
with 1860, an augmentation of no hilts than 18 per
cent. The chief increase is in cotton yarn, lines!,
woollens, coals and calm, and burr and Lite, whilet
cotton manufactures and silks :are rather less than
last year, and hardware and cutlery show a sensible
falling off. The exports of cotton manufactures stood
as follows :

1862 £1,608,739
18.51
1850
And of cotton yarn-
-1852
1851
1850
In linens the increase is marked, the ifiguies stand-
ing es ander :
18.52
1861
1860
In woollens, the movement is equally decided :
18.52
1851
1850
The returns of imports and consumption present
under most heads a very considerable inctrasr, and
must be regarded as of the most satisfactory charac-
ter. Of coffee, the quantity entered for consump-
tion was as follows:

Ih..
18.52 3,187,729
1861 20190.488
1860 2.848,208
Sugar has increased 22 per cent The consump-
tion figures are annexed :

owta
1852

1930
In tea, the increase is 8 per cent. :
lbs.
1862 4,943,594
1851 4,619,857
1850 4,216,280
Tobacco and cocoa have also entered much more
largely into consumption, but in cora and flour there
is a decided falling off.
The returns of any single month arc frequently
scarcely applicable for comparison, being influenced
by many circumstances of partial operation, but it
may be said that the new year appears to have com-
menced under the happiest auguries for the trade of
the country, so far as indicated by tho figures under
review.

GERMANY.

A despatch from Frankfort-on•the-Maine informs
us that the Senate of the " free city " has given
effect to one of the latest resolutions of the Germanic
Diet, and abrogated the political equality of the
citizens prescribed in the new °Destitution. New
elections are to take place, and only Christians will
be allowed to vote. _ _ _

We continue to hear of the oppression of Has-
senpflog at CameL His last feat has been to ruin a
number of innkeepers and other trades, obnoxious
for the part they took in the general resistance to
his arbitrary measures, by depriving them of their
licenses. A day or two ago he vanished from
Carel, and his whereabouts is a mystery to the
general public, who however are only certain to
bear of him again too soon. The members of the
committee of the Second Chamber have received a
timely permission to take a holiday. The deputies,
it is understood, were about to make some represen-
tation adverse to the Austrian customs schemes.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Oet. 12.
The meeting of the Cortes is now mid to be fixed
for the 25th of November.

The commandant of the marine station of Havannah
has transmitted intelligence of the lose of the war
steamer Pizarro on the northern coast of that island,
at a spot celled Tango Farango, while reconnoitering
a frigate whose movements were considered sus-
Oman. On the news arriving, orders were imme-
diately given to send the steamer Antonio de Woe to
that station.

Although the editors of the Herold°, amelthslioss-
seel, Everest" Epoca, and Duni° Espanol, have
been acquitted and set at liberty, they cannot sign
political articles until the tribunals upon the requi-
sition of the Director of the Treasury shall have
Nolo op the record of the trial. Until then these
porn
ti will appear merely as literary

Despatches from the Captain-General of Cuba down
to Sept. 14 state that tranquillity continued to pre-
vail in the island. Cholera had increased, owing to
the heavy rains. A prosecution had been com-
menced against the authors of the revolutionary
publication The Voice of the People, and their
confederates. -

iieiie;;ldo says : " A journal announces that M.
There has arrived at Madrid. We know not what
foundation there may be for this news."
Since the opening of the railway from Angoulente
to Bordeaux the French mail arrives at Madrid 7
hours sooner than formerly. Letters are now de-
livered at one in the afternoon instead of eight in
the evening.

BEGGING LEWES IMPOSTURg I.r Peale.—A man
named Potlebel was tried by the Tribunal of Correctional
Polies on Wednesday for • •ery iegwins piece of swindling.
He went round to all the frieade and acquaintances of a
working man named Torpilland, and, telling them •
lamentable story of his having died suddenly, obtained
from them sums varying from Ire. to 61r. to bury him. He
told his tale with great skill, and even contrived to weep
for his poor Torpillaud." After obtaining the money be
the contributors to attend the funeral two days after.
When, however, they appeared in sable suits of woe, at the
lease of Torpillaud and asked when the seen was, the
porter, thinking they were hoaxing him, threatened to
apply a broomstick to their shoulders. One of them who
was particularly sorrowful, went into a neighbouring shop
to buy • cigar, end woe terrified beyond description at
seeing as he thought the ghost of Tor and offer him •
light—the mid ghost being teed Torpillaud in per-
son. The tribunal condemned Pelletal to a yeses impriont•
meat and 601. fine.—otairooni.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

HonsmosnENTLPiekingis now ahnnWconcluded, and
the crop is highly satisfactory in quantity and quality. Many
late samples are very tine, the hops baying retained their
colour well. The average growth of the parish is from
14 cwt to 15 cwt. per acre.
HOLTENDEN. Picking is quit* brought to a close; it
has lasted much longer than was elpeeted, and we have a
Eno crop ; the parish will averageabout 16 cwt. per acre.
Cl/HELM:It HY.—Business in the hop trade was very brisk
during the past week, and on Saturday massy sales were
effected at advanced prices. Several best samples and large
growths realised tram 7s. to 81. per cwt. The duty is now
generally mullioned at from 260,0001. to 260,000.., but the
higher quotation is thought rather too high Dj many whu
are reckoned tclerable judges and possessing the best in-
formations, while the advance in prices tends to diminish
confidence In the excessively high duty at one time con-
templated.—South.EUrtern Gautle.

fully as dear. The sales since Thursday amount to 46,000
bales, and the imports to 10,000.

CATTLE.—COLCHESTER, Oct. IG.—There was a good
show of stock, and a fair business done, at rates equal to
those of last week. Prices keep up for every description,
and the prevailing opinion is, that the value of stuck wiU
continue to increase, the general rumour being, that the
breeding districts are nearly cleared out. Pigs were net
quite so brisk in sale as last vreek.—Supply Sheep and

annual fair at St. Faith's, as might be expected, not much

The purveyors of novelty for the Surrey have not
been slow in seising hold of the emigration mania and its vari-
ous incidents, but we are sorry we cannot congratulate them

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1852.

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, Ocr. 17.
The continuance of the ministerial crisis does not
arise from any conflict of opinion among the persons
designated by the King to form • cabinet. They
have all consented and are still ready to take
office provided they can feel assured of ob-
taining a vote of confidence from the Chamber.
In order to do this they must secure promises of
support from a knot of ten or twelve liberal members
who are unwilling to submit to party discipline, and
cling to the influence belonging to a small
clique, able at any time to turn the scale in a
nearly equally divided house. It was M. de
Brouekere's intention to propose M. Delfesse, of
Liege,as President of the Chamber,and MM. Loss and
Orts as Vice-Presidents. The dissident liberals de-
clined undertaking to vote for this list. In conse-
quence M. de Brouckere, on the 14th instant ten-
dered to the King his resignation of the full powers
entrusted to him from a ministry. After a long in-
terview M. de Brescia:re, at the request
of his Majesty, undertook to resume his efforts to
unite all shades of the liberal majority in one com-
mon purpose. The question now is whether it will be
possible to find a candidate for the presidency who
will be accepted by the small parliamentary section
to which I have alluded. It is deplorable that this
section should obstinately play into the hands of the
clerical party, who, although by their intrigues
may do infinite mischief to Belgium, cannot possibly
govern the country.
The Entancipateen of to-day says:
It is unsound more and more strongly that the cabinet
formed by ht. H. de Broacher. is diasolved. It is not yet
said that the King hu called in any other political per-
Map.

SOCTIIWARK.
IVillions Wiles, a tall powerful-looking man, was charged
with travelling in a third-class carriage on the Croydon
Railway without a ticket, ■nd refusing to pay the fare.
lie was also charged with being drunk and acting in a die-
gusting manner wizards the pusengas in the carriage.
Thomas Jordan, a ticket c Alecto? in the employ of the
London, Brighton, and South Cout Railway Company, said
the prisoner cants up on Staiday night front Croydon in a
third•claa i"strriava A. !!! .:4 not provided with a ticket
witneesdemandta teopence, the fare, which defendant re-
(abed to pay, sad conducted himself in s very disgusti.:,,,
manner. On the arrival of the train im„ tne weenie:.
witness gave him into eitatoap, and some of the passengen
also charged hint with annoying them in the carriage.
Michael Weedon, a tradesman, said that he and his wife
got into the train at Annerly, and at NOW-CrOIS the pri•
setter entered the same carriage. lie was very drunk,
and all the way up he acted very disgustingly to his
wife and himself by falling upon them and using bad lan-
guage. lie pointed out the prisoner to the ticket collector,
and after that he became more furious, and threatened to
throw him out of the train.

Another person who was in the carriage said that the
prisoner also acted disgustiogly towards him, and tried all
e could to pick up • quarrel. He was not so drunk as
not to know what he was doing.
The prisoner said he took his ticket at New-cross, and
mast have lost it from his pocket. As for the other part of
the charge, all he could say was that he did not know
what he was about.

Mr. Alleckett said the railway otter ought to have
taken care of the prisoner at the ticket collector's station,
and not to have allowed him to insult the passengers after
what Mr. Wcedon had told him. lle should fine prisoner
405., or 14 days' imprisonment.

PIRACY AT MACAO.

An unfortunate affair occurred at Macao, of which
we have received the following account :
On Saturday last (July 24), a little after 2 o'clock p.m.,
Lieutenant F. X. dos Santos, of the Portuguese navy, hav-
ing been informed that a Chinese piratical boat was lying
opposite the Pagoda above the liar-fort, immediately went
down the river in a Tanks boat, with only a European
sailor and marine, and having taken possession of the pi-
ratical vessel—there bring apparently only a few hands on
board at the time—got her under weigh, and was bringing
her up the river to the Customhouse, when a little
way farther up, and almost opposite Mr. MIMIC'
l'ereira's wharf, the Chinese, of whom there must
have been a greater number on board than was supposed, !
made a sudden rush oa the officer and bis two men, and
completely surprised them. The poor soldier was soon
overpowered awl slain, while the officer had hardly time to
fire one of his pistols (the other missed fire), when, being
closed upon by the Chinese, he had no alternative but to
jump overboard, followed by, the sailor, who, however,
first fired his musket and killed one of the assailants. The
sailor, being a good swimmer, kept above water till rescued
by a Chinese sampan, which was also the means of his pick-
ing up the drowned body of poor Lieut. Santos.
Though all this occurred in the Inner llarbour,
and close to the shore, it does not seem to have
attracted any attention ' • for nothing was known
till after the sailor had landed at the Custom-
house. The pirates had thus ample time to make
the best of their way up the river, and before anything
could be sent after them it is believed they had got their
vessel ashore, and cleared of all her armament and valu-
ables.

An armed boat was, however, despatched as soon as pos-
sible, and succeeded in bringing the vessel back neat morn-
ing, of course stripped of everything but her masts and
sails. The Tema Is of the description of those commonly
called Ly-fil, very much like a large fishing boat; and from
the quantity of Chinese tallow candles, yaw paper, and
sticks found on board, it is believed she must have gone in
to Macao for supnlies.
The body of the soldier who was killed in the rcncounter
had been afterwards thrown overboard, and was picked
up on Monday on the beach opposite Green Island.—China

MARK-LANE.—TILIS DAY.
The few parcels of English Wheat fresh op for this MOM.
icg's market were disposed of at about Monday's quotstions.
The demand for foreign Wheat was of quite a retail de-

Flour was in limited request, at former prices.
The receipts of Oats have been moderate this week, and
factors had no difficulty in fully maintaining late rates.

PORTUGAL

Letters from Lisbon, of the 23d ult., confirm the li
news of the retirement of M. Seabee from tho post of
minister of justice. M. Fonseca .Nlagalhaes, Minis-
ter of foreign affairs, has been charged ad interim
with that department. It is thought at Lisbon that
the ministry will not be completed before the meet-
ing of the new Cortes, the decree for which was
shortly expected.

The latest intelligence from the Caucasus, via St.
Petersburg, states that the iahabitasits of three villages on
the Argun, above Wahl, having much disturbed the
population subject to Russia by their incursions, the
Lientenant.Coloncl Prince Tscheinkagem determined on
their ehastisment. He oolleeted, says the Russian account,
150 men, including four Don Cossacks, surrounded the
villages, and, alter a sanguinary soothe; took and burnt
them to less.

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ADELAIDE

AND MOUNT ALEXANDER.

In consequence of the numerous persona who left
Adelaide, in South Australia, (or the Mount Alexander gold
digging*, and the complaints of those persons of the want
of communication between the diggings and their families,
an overland route from Adelaide to Mount Ale:asides was
planned and effected in February last, by a Mr. Tolman, of
the former place. The diary kept by Mr. Tolman during
his journey, and which abounds with information of the
highest interest to intending emigrants, was published in
the Daily News of Saturday last. The distance of the
route is 400 miles, and was beset with difficulties which
were happily overcome, and a regular gold escort seta-
bliehed. Mr. Tolman, on arriving at Mount Almender, was I
received with the utmost enthusiasm by the Adelaidean
diggers, who met immediately and proposed a testimonial
of a bag of gold to the Australian Waghorn.
Mr. Tolman and his party took charge of the gold
destined he Adelaide, and also an everbind mail.

INDIA.

We have receieed, via Trieste, our accounts in
anticipation of the Overland Mail. The dates are:
Bombay, Nov. 17; Calcutta, 6th. The following
summary is extracted from the Bombay Times; the
substance of the news transmitted by electric tele-
graph appeared in our impression of Friday last :
The intelligence from Rangoon comes down to the
end of October, but is of very little interest. We
have some particulars beyond what were given in
our last, in reference to the capture of Proms on the
9th of October, which seem to show that that the ma-
nagement afloat was not much more skilful than that
on shore. A correspondent of the Bombay gazette
affirms that the large steamers were pushed forward
first, .vhen the sm ill ones ought to have been sent ones
pilots, and that the consequence was that the Enter•
prise got on shore on one bank of the river and the
Fire Queen on the other. Instead of clearing the
I bank of the enemy by the 32 and 66 pounder I
guns of the steamers, by which they were cum.
pletely commanded, the landing party were sent
off in gun-boats with light 12-pounders, to find
their way as they best could under the tire,
of the enemy, which fortunately for them did
not Crave either very deadly or persevering. Mean-
while it is currently reported that the river has
fallen so suddenly and to such an extent that the i
large steamers must remain at Prome for eight
months to come. ()viers' Godwin, who returued
to Rangoon immediately after the capture of
Promo on the 9th of October, was once more on his
way up the river with a second division of his force.
230 elephants have been despatched to his assistance
from Calcutta overland to Proms through the Aeog
Pass, where the enemy are said to be preparing to
resist their advance ; troops were under orders from
Anna to clear the way, and they did not sous to
