barrels belonging to itenerant publicans, who are now found
in different parts of the docks in consequence of the hot
, weather, and the aumerous labourers and sailors who are
at work there.

VAUXHALL—A bal mampiCi inaugurated the pre-
lirniuury opening of the royal gardens last night, and
afforded a sufficient provocative to the appetite for excite-
ment, to restore the spirits even of those who were the most
jaded by a summer day's Ficieipation in the sports and
turmoil of the race curse at I::,sem. The deforatiens and
general arrangements of the gardens are similar to those of
last season, and the femur, s of the peculiar class of amuse-
, ment with which, according to custom, the advent of the
Vauxhall year is celebrated, were as usual iudicroue,
piquant, noisy, and jolly. There were costumes of almost
every nation, adopted with the most grotesque disregard of
national characteristirs,and there were the repres ntatives of
almost all crosses of society, British and foreign, but dc stitute
of every class peculiarity be the dress. Toe company which
as might be expected from the fineness of the weather, was
very numerous, began to as,emble about eleven o'clock, and
by the aid of four bands relieving each other alternately,
and a plentiful supply of champagne and other equally
potent incentives to math, the dancing and the frolics of the
masque were maintained until the sun had dispe:led the
grey mists of morning.

PROBATES OF WI Ll,s AND GRANTS OF
ADMINISTRA I lON BILL.

On the motion to resuming the &dimmed debate on the
second reading td this bill,
' Mr. HADFIELD observed that kis object in proposing
this bill we, to make ass probate serve for the whole of the
United Kingdom, but he had been told that the govern-
ment would take up the subject, and that it would be d. all
with in a larger meaner. to be brought forward by th. So-
licitor Gene ral, in reference to the ecclesiastical courts; if
the noble lord would any that goverument had it in con-
templation to bring in a measure which should provide,
amongst other thing., that one probate should be made to
serve for the whole if the United Kingdom, he would with-
draw Os present bill.
Lord PALMERSTON admitted that the object to which
the ball related wee one of great importance and of great
public interest; but as his hon. friend must be ■ware it
formi d part of the greater and larger subject which his hon.
and I d friend, the Sulicitur•O 1, had announced'
his intention to deal with by the bill for regulating the
jurisdiction of the Ecelesiastical Courts. He (Lord Palmer-
_

item) stated the other night the reason 'why no such
measure had been brought in thin session, and the hope and
the intention of the government to be prepared with some
bill on this subject in the early pert of nest session, and he
must now submit to his hon. friend the propriety of with-
drawing this partial measure, and leave the subject to be
dealt with in the general one. (Hear, hear.) And though
he could not, in answer to his hon. friend's question, give
any specific pledge as to the details of the government
measure, he could confidently assure him that the present
subject would be dealt with by the government, and that a
measure would be iutrodueed by them at an early period of
the ensuing session. (Hear.)
Mr. lIADFIELD would like to be assured that the go-
vernment me.asure would include the particular object of
his bill.

Lord PALMERSTON—Of course, any measure having
rrferenee to the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts will,
it is to be apprehended, relate to probates of wills.
Mr. KINNAIRD was understand to express a hope that
the government measure would apply to Scotland.
The order of the day for the committee was then read,
and discharged.

MUSIC.

MR. BRINLEY RICUARDn'S CONCERT.—Mr. Rich-
ards's third and last performance (this teasels) of class:cal
and modern pianoforte music, took place last evening, sit
the Hanover-square Rioms. Like the previous concerto, it
consisted of an excellent selection of music. Mr. ltiehards's
own performances were, Beethoven's Grand Sonata in •
tat, containing the beautiful " Marcia funebro nulls mortis
d'un Eroe ;" Meson's Sonata in A, for plow, and violin, in
which he was accompanied by Herr Mo`'que ; and several
solo pieces selected from Mr. Richards's own works. The
instrumental pieces were mixed with a number of sours and
duets, sung by Signor Gardoni, Mr. and Madame Weiss,
Miss Messent, Miss Alleyne, and Hen Brandt. This series

of the first class.

DRAMA.

GERMAN PLAYS.

Schiller's William Tell WU produced at the St.
James's Theatre last evening. The character of Tell was
sustained by Herr Emil Devrient, Arnold by Herr GOA-
Jena, Gaoler by Herr Dessoir, Stauffncher by Herr
Pincher, Gertrude by Frau Steck, and Hedwig by Frau
Stoke. These parts were ably sustained, and the ptr-
forrnsecr, in its ensemble, was effective and worthy of the
applause bestowed on it. The house was full. Her
Majesty was present, and the boxes and stalls had a
fashionable appearance.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE REPRESS.

Sts,—From the

of the Chancellor

of the Exchequer on the 'abject of the advertisement duty,
many of the newspapers in Lancashire and Yorkshire bad
announced a new lade of charges to take effect from
Saturday last. By the conduct of the Chancellor, piqued
at being beaten three times on tke question, they are all at
sea. I know one paper which lost 151. last Saturday by it.
Why do not the papers all through the country address
themselves to the Chancellor of the Exchequer in a way to
make him know that the Fourth Estate is not to be ill-treated
with impunity ? Announcing reductions the one day and
contradicting them the next is most injurious both to the
public and to public newspapers.

A COUNTY EDITOR.

THE WAGES QUESTION.

The weavers in the employ of Mr. Clegg, Vale-
mill, Heywood, near Bury, held a meeting on Monday
evening, to consider the propriety of turning out for an ad-
vance of wages. Mr. Clegg ettended, and said he believed
he was paying u high wages as other manufacturers of the

district were paying; and it was ultimately agreed that an
inquiry should be instituted. Mr. Clegg's declaration that
he would pay as high wages as other employers appeared to
give satisfaction to the operatives.
The weavers of Blackburn have issued another large
placard, setting forth their grievances. A public meeting
was to be held last evening, to consider the best means of
carrying out the 10 per ern,. movement in Blackburn, and
so show the public, from authentic data, that the employers
arc able to meet thel demands of the operatives, and to de-
monstrate the difference which exists between the wages of
paver-loom weavers in Blackburn and those in Old.
ham, Ashton, Stalybridge, and other places. The sum of
19.i1 was subscribed in Blackburn last week, for the relief
(Atha Stockport turnouts.

NORMAN AGRICULTURAL PROM:CR.—A weekly
importation of oxen, butter, eggs, and oil takes place at
Southampton from Carentan, in Normandy. The cattle
and produce come from the interior of Normandy. A
French merchant farmer is the exporter and importer. lie
has engaged English farmers and farm labourers to super-
intend his agricultural operattous in France, in order that
his estates may be cultivated after the English fashion.
These speculations have now been for some time in existence
and ars likely to be very successful. Tne importation of
oxen is of some advantage to Southampton, as it keeps cilsru
the price of butcher's meat.

SPAIN.

According to the Espana of the 7th, an under.
standing has been come to between the Spanish and
French authorities us to the boundary line between
the two countries near Navarre, and eonsequently
the troops, which were stationed on both sides the
frontier to defend the respective rights of both
countries, have received orders to rt turn to their
former quarters. The Herald° complains that the
payment of the interest of the Three per Cent. stock,
which ought to have taken plaze on the Ist, has been
postponed to the end of August.

Dian frontier, and which are already of considerable i
attength, are receiving considerable reinforcements.
On the 30th of June, a steamer, which had come
down the Danube, passed Belgrade, going up the
Soave' and towing five large lighters, which were
heavily freighted with munitions of war. On board
of these vessels were two companies of the Regiment
of Parma, and one of the Frontier Regiment of,
Peterwerdein. When passing before the town, the
soldiers went down into the holds of the lighters.
The Prussian Gazette contains a letter from
Vienna of the Bth, which says:—" We understand
that the Porte intends publishing a manifesto in an-
swer to that of the Emperor of Russia, and that it
will expose in it all the injustice which it has suffered
from Russia during the past century. The Porte will
also express its determination to oppose Russia ener-
getically, and will make her responsible for whatever
consequences may arise to Europe from the rupture
of peace. On the Ist July General d'Ozcroff (not the
diplomatist of the same name) was despatched by
General Gortschakoff to Constantinople on a mission,
whick is supposed to have been to announce to the
Porte the approaching entrance of the Russian
troops into the Principalities."
A letter from Smyrna of the 29th ult. states, that
the American Ambassador at Constantinople has
claimed Costa, who was still on board the Austrian
brig of war. His demand is based on his having
delivered to him a passport at Constantinople. The
American brig has laid herself by the side of the
Austrian brig, to prevent her from carrying off Costa.
A letter from Vienna states that Costa is charged by
the Austrian government with having assisted in
hiding the Regalia of Hungary.
The Augsburg Gazette publishes an article on the
Czar's manifesto, which will excite considerable at-
tention in Germany, appearing in a journal hitherto
obsequious to Russia. The writer considers that
the Czar has given to the occupation of the Princi-
palities a character greatly to be deplored. So long
es the Czar complained that his offeuded dignity re-
quired satisfaction, it was easy for a third power to
make an offer of good offices. But the address of
Nicholas to his subjects alters the case. In proclaim-
ing a crusade for the " Russo Greek" religiou, the
Czar isolates himself, and makes it impossible for the
powers best disposed towards his throne to support
his policy. Austria (continues the writer), as a great
catholic power, cannot and will not do anything to
unite the various sections of the Greek church under
the primacy of the mightiest potentate in the world.
Although this article does not pretend to any
official character, it is impossible that the considera-
tions which it suggests have not counted for some-
thing in the councils of the Emperor of Austria.

provision concerning the entry and service of seamen, and
otherwise to amend the laws concerning her Majesty's

GLOUCESTER., WIDNIUIDAY.

This being the first public exhibition day, an im-
mense accession to the temporary population of Gloucester
took place, and the t►ree railway compauics having put on

extra trains for the

of •isitors, the station

was crowded with throngs of travellers throughout the day.
The implement yard was opened to the public at seven
o'clock this morning, and many chose an early hour for
visiting this department in preference to waiting until it
became more crowded. The number of stands of imple-
ments was 121, occupying two-thirds of the exhibition epic.
and presenting a magnificent illustration of the spirit,
energy, skill, and enterprise of the present day. The
greatest admiration and surprise was expressed generally
by the visitors, and many persons whn had attended these
great gatherings from the first period of their establishment,
pronounced that this was not one of the best, bat the very
best, collection of agricultural implements and machines
ever brought together. Abort 3,000 persons had visited
the exhibition up to four o'clock. The show-yard was
open until six in the evening.

The slave trade had dwindled to little or nothing,
and the different tribes were all quiet.

SIMONY LAW AMENDMENT BILL.

On the order for the adjourned debate on the second
reading,

Lord GODERICH in the absence of Mr. R. J. Philli-
more, moved the second reading. He called upon the
house to pass this bill as a measure that would remedy •
great and crying evil, prevent malversatious in a moat
sacred trust, remove a great scandal from our church and
our common faith, and ensure to the people that which they
had a right to demand, viz., that the property of the
church of England, which had been set apart for their
spiritual benefit, should be applied to that purpose alone,
and not be made subservient to the pecuniary advantage
of individuals.

Mr. 0. M. BUTT moved that the bill be read a second
time that day three months.
Sir G. GREY opposed the bill as unnecessary. (Divide,
divide.)

Viscount GODERIC 11, in the absence of bit hon. and
turned friend (Mr. K. Phi Mature), would not give the
house the trouble to divide. but would withdraw the bill.
The amendment w..a put and carried.

THE NEW CAB LAW.

Tke new regulations relating to cabmen and cab-
fun are likely to produce (or some time a considerable
addition to the ordinary business of the police court, judg-
ing from the number of summonses granted and applied for
by drivers and fares, who were unable to settle their dis-
putes without &resort to authority. Among the summonses

granted yesterday was one against Lady Alderson, the wife
of Baron Alderson,on the ground that only one shilling was
paid for taking her ladyship from the Waterloo Station to
P■rk Crescent, Regent's Park. The majority of the dia.
putes appear to arise from inabilty to decide at once when
the sixpenny fare ends.
Much of the convenience expected by the public to result
from the operation of the new law is not yet realised in
consequence of the de.ay in the publication of the books of
fares which the Commissioners of Polies are authorised

W isour.

Yesterday, at Bow-street, shortly before the rising of the
court, Mr. E. Wilder, of the Union Club, arrived in a
Hansom cab, and applied to Mr. Henry to settle the amount
of a disputed fare, the driver being present. '
Mr. Wilder stated that he got into the defendant's cab a
the Horns, at Kennington, rode to Oloucester-street, Pic-

cudilly, and thence to the Union Club, Trafalgar.equare-
He offered the driver ls. Bd., which was declined. Witness
then ordered him to drive to Bow-street, believing that he
had not gone over three miles of ground.
Mr. Henry thought it very probable that Mr. Wilder
was mistaken. lhe Commissioners of Police are ern--

powered by the new act to print a book of fares, and every
cab driver is bound to haves copy of it in his possession, to
be produced whenever a dispute arises, under a penalty of
40e. AU such questions es the present must be determined
by reference to this official book of fares, which is to be
admitted as conclusive evidence. Unfortunately these
books had not yet been distributed, and consequently the
old system of measuring the distance must be resorted to.
This could be done if the applicant wished it, although he
(Mr. Henry) wu rather inclined to think that the distance
exceeded three miles.

Mr. Wilder said, as then was some doubt apparently
about the distance, be should uithdraw the complaint, eon-
'eosins very readily to pay the original demand, with the
additional sum required for attendaLee at the court.

ROYAL SANTIAGO MINING COMPANY.

Yet.terday the annual general meeting of share-
holders was field ■t the ottlees in Broad-street.buildings ;
Baronde COLL/SCHMID in the chair. It appeared from tl.e re.
port that the quantity of ore ohlaineel in the last six months
amounted to, 44 tons, and 3n 101 A of precipitate. 22 tons
of ore and two of pr. cipitate were s,.ld in December last,
an? produced 393/. There was a shipment of 390 tons of
stone yellow and gray e.ist one, and 36 tons of precipi-
tate on sale at Swansea, the estimated nett value of which
was 6,178/. Toe remsi ins/ part of the year's rnsinga
amounted to 132 touNthe l miner from which was estimated
at 1,3001, making together b.21/6!. received. 'rhe ex-
penses during the SHOW period amounted to 11,9111., leav-
ing a lon of 3,6001. Alter paving all liabilities there was
an available cash capital of 3,000/., and the plant and ma-
chinery were estimated at 17,0001. The report recoin-
mended a call of 1!. per fh ere, payable in September neat,
which would realise 7,0001. for the purpose of continuing
the workings of tile mine, from which sanguine expects-
tions,notwitlistanding pre s. nt appearstices,were inn twined.
A short conversation took pl .ce on the subject of a dispooi-
tion whieh a shareholder understood was entertained by the
Cohre Company far an amalgamation with or purchase of
the Santi igo Company. The chairman observed that
whilst the directors would of Louise fe el it to lie their duty
to con.ider any proposition 01 tb..e kind, the best way to
bring about ouch an ta•ue would be to show that they were
reserved to prosecute working of the mine with en. NY
on their own behalf. In reply to a question from a share-
holder Mr. J. Taylor sai I he hod n,ver sold a single share
of those which he possessed. The report was then unani-
mously adopted, and a vote of thanks passed to the chair-
man and directors.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
Alfred Arago and his brother Jaques were the
chief mourners at the funeral of M. Arago. A
vast number of academicians and members of
the learned bodies followed. There were six
.. .

pall bearers—Admiral Sandhi as president of the
Board of longitude ; M. Goudchaux ; an opera-
tive engineer named Boissel ; M. Polignac, a son of
Charles X.'s minister, a pupil of the Polytechnic
School, and a staunch republican; M. Flourens, of
the Academy of Sciences; and a sixth individual
whose name I could not learn. Among the political
friends of the deceased were the great poet Beranger,
bowed down with the weight of his fourscore
years, and General Cavaignac; MM. Bastide,
Guinard, Ferdinand do Lastcyrie, Jules Simon
Lefranc, Bertholon, Cabon, Peauge, Charles Les-
imps, Vanlabelle, Nlaichais, and Pierre Dupont.
Among the foreigners of distinction were M. Mania,
the ex-President of the Republic of Venice, M. Mon-
tanelli of Florence, and M. Cernaschi, a member of
the Roman Constituent Assembly, and one of the
leaders of the barricades in Rome. The procession
took more than an hour to reach the church. No
one was allowed to enter without a ticket, and these
were only ibsued to the Arago family, official per-
sonages, and a comparatively few number of friends.
When the hearse r cached the Pantheon there was a
very large following, but in the Rue St. Victor a
neatly executed movement of the military cut off at
least three-fourths. This operation was repeated
two or three times, and by the time the procession
reached the Bastille the number of followers was
greatly diminished by these means and by the dreadful
weather.

The Abbe Moigno publisbes in the Pegs the fol-
lowing notice of the lamented deceased :
The long series of sufferings which brought him to the
grave, at a not very advanced age, commenced by a diabe-
tes not very intense, I•nt which rapidly exhausted his
strength. The diabetes gave way to another malady, which

feeling at the present momeat is weaker, the rise since
yesterday is u much as 1 per cent. Consols opened 911

The Board of Guardians have applied to the

Other applications of the same nature have been
made to the board.

HOUGHTON-LE-SPRING.
From the reports of the medical officers of this
union, it appears that they have had under their care
702 cases of diarrhoea since the lat inst., not one of
which, in consequence of prompt treatment, has
passed into cholera or terminated fatally. On the
other hand, four cases of cholera have occurred, three
of which have proved fatal. Two of the cholera cases
occurred in a small pit village in the town-
ship of Newbottle, called Success-row; another
in the village of Newbottle; a third at Downs-lane,
in the township of Hetton-le-hole; and the fourth at,
West Rainton, three miles from Newbottle. The
guardians in each township of this union are stated
Ito have formed themselves into a committee, with
certain other inhabitants, for the purpose of making
combined efforts for the immediate removal of nui-
sances, and the improvement generally of their
respective districts. This joint committee hold their
meetings three times a-week.
From a return of the pilotmaster of Londonderry
it appears that on board the bark Vireinia, from
Oottenburg to New York and New Orleans, there
have occurred, between Sept. 4 and Sept. 30, eight
deaths from cholera.

1311MINGHAli, OCT. 6.—At the commencement of the
last month there was a temporary depression in the
price of wheat, bat the results of threshing the
new crop havieg fully confirmed the estimated de-
ficiency in the yield, and further purchases being
made for Franco and Belgium, together with in
creased ptobability of war, totted to a progreuive rise in
freights from the Danube, Black Sea, Itc., have sines caused
an advance in ell deecriptions of wheat of from 6s. to Ile.

in Leland have also hail some effect, particularly on Indian

MANCHESTER.

A meeting of the board of guardians took place yesterday,
at which reports from the registrars of two of the districts
were made as to the state of health. One report was from
Ancoats district, and was as follows :

Deaths 438. The smallest number regietercd in any cor-
responding quarter, since 1845—July, 125; August, 162;
September, 147; exclusive of 14 inquest.. Diarrhoeahas
not been so prevalent as is usual in this quarter, only 76
deaths are attributed to it, against 184 last ye..r; of these,
41 were infants under one year, and 22 from one to two
years old, and in many instances, diarrhwa was merely the
Niguel to other diseases.
The registrar of London-road district says:—Whilst
admitting the duty of the authorities by all means to secure
the health and comfort of the public, by enforcing cleans-
ing, titc., I think it also a duty for individuals to do all in
their power to allay unnecessary alarm in a time of panic.
I will therefore make no apology for intruding on your
notice, and, if you think proper, of the guardians, a few
particulars connected with the mortalit7 in my district.

GERMANY.

—.—
Our own correspondent says:
BERLIN, OCTMIER 1.
The King of Prussia set off last night to R arsaw
to wait upon the Emperor of Russia. This open
demonstration has excited much surprise, and some
concern ; but the step is in keeping with the King's
character.

A letter from Berlin, of the 2nd, in the Culogne
Gazette, says :—"lt may be considered as certain that
negociations have been commenced between France
and Prussia to arrive at the conclusion of a commer-
cial treaty between France and the Zoltverein. France
asks the Zollverein to reduce the duty on jewellery
and articles of luxury, and on her side she proposes
to favour navigation, by diminishing the duties levied
at the entry of ports."
Another correspondent writing on the same date
states that Lieutenant-Colonel Count Munster, Prus-
sian Military Envoy at the Imperial Russian court,
who attended the Czar to Warsaw, arrived from that
Owe on Sunday morning, the Ind inst., at Sans
Souci, with an autograph letter from the Czar, con-
taining a pressing invitation to attend the closing
manmuvres of the Russian troops, and to meet the
Emperor of Austria, who, it is affirmed, has pro-
ceeded to Warsaw. By accident or coincidence, the
Minister President and for Foreign Affairs (Baron
von Manteuffel) had proceeded on Saturday, for two
or three days, to his estate in Lausatia. Whether
the resolution on the part of his Prussian Majesty is
to be considered as a political demonstration, or whe-
ther it was a mere act of friendly cordiality, was
questioned in Berlin.

GREECE.

a letter from Athens, dated the 23rd ult., that the
Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles, and the
lion. Mr. Wyse, English ambassador at Athens, had
paid a visit to Zante, after which the latter returned
to Athens, and the former went by a steamer to

the Republic of the Seven Islands will become one of
eight islands."

MR. AND MRS. HOPE.

(From Gatirkuti's Messemer.)
Mr. Adrian John Hope and Mrs. Hope (daughter
of General Rapp) are pleading in England for a separation.
Whilst waiting for • decision of the English courts, it be-
came necessary to settle what should be done with respect to
their children, and the Civil Tribunal of Paris was appealed
to. By decision of the 9th June last, Mrs. Hope was
authorised to keep two of her children with her, and to
r, tire with them to the Convent of the Dames-Augustines ;
Mr. Slope, on his part, having two children with him, and
he being at liberty to pawl see the other two as often as he
p.euid. Some days after Mrs. Hope, by anotherjudgment,
1111.1 authorised to go to the Pyrenees with the children
to take the waters, and Mr. Hope was condemned to pay
her 30,000fr..f0r the expenses of the journey and the mein-
tenance of herself and children. Against these decisions
Mr. Hope appealed to the Imperial Court, but the court by
judgment of the 29th June confirmed them; decreeing,
however, that the children should only remain with Mrs.
Hope to the 15th of September, unless the English Courts
in the meantime should decide otherwise. On the approach
of the 15th of September, Mrs. Hope caused it
to be represented to the court that, notwithstand-
ing all her efforts, she had been unable to ob-
tain a decision in England, and she requested
that the children might continue with her. As •
proof that the delay in England arose from no fault of hers,
she stated that she had been authorised by the Eccle-
siastical Court in London to serve a summons on her hus-
band on the 23rd August last; but personal service was ne-
cessary by the English law, and it was not until the 14th
September that her agents had been able to effect that ser-
vice, and then Mr. Hope had thrown the summons out of
his carriage.window, leaving it in the mud. She fur-
ther requested that she might be permitted to leave the
convent of the Dames-Augustinco, and go to occupy an
apartment in the hotel of Count Mole, in the Faubourg St.
Hanore. The matter was yesterday brought before the Im-
perial Court, and the demands of Mrs. Hope were supported
at some length by M. Hebert, her advocate. M. Duvergier,
on the part of Mr. Hope, opposed them, and contended that
tho court could not modify its preview decision; he also
denied that the account given of the service of the sum-
mons was correct. The Tribunal decided that, under the
ci cumstances, Mrs. Hope should be authorised to keep her
children fir four months longer, subject to Mr. Hope b in-
allowed to see them for two hours at a time three times a.
week; also that Mrs. Haw should be permitted to live in
the Hotel MoW, Faubourg St. Honore, instead of in the
convent.
