DEATH OF THE HON. AND REV. SOMERVILLE HAY.—
This hon. and rev, gentleman died at Brighton on Sun-
day last, in his 37th year. He was the only son of
George, 16th Earl of Erroll, by his third marriage. He
married, in 1843, Lady Diana Erskine, daughter of the
Earl of Buchan, by whom he has left an infant family.
THE SWEARING-IN OF THE SHERlFFS.—Yesterday the
swearing-in of Sheriffs for the ensuing year took place,
according to custom, in the Guildhall; and previous to
the ceremony, Mr. Alderman Wire entertained the
members of the Innholders' company, of which he is a
member, and also the deputy, the common council, and
some of the principal inhabitants of the ward of Wal-
brook, at a breakfast, at Girdlers' Hall, Basinghall-
street. Many of the most distinguished civic function•
aries were present, and amongst them Mr. Alderman
Salomons, who, however, was compelled to retire in
consequence of a public engagement. Various toasts
were proposed and warmly responded to by the company,
their chief object be'ng to acknowledge the services per-
formed by the sheriffs in office, and to give support and
encouragement to the gentlemen who were about to
undertake the duties.

GLASGOW HARBOUR.—Our harbour is unusually
crowded with shipping' at present, the berths at both
the north and south sides being fully occupied, and, in
many instances, by three and four tier of vessels abreast
of each other. At no former period have we seen so
many, large ships in the harbour at one time. Some idea
may be formed of the immense traffic, both export and
import, continually going on, by simply glancing at the
huge piles of goods that maybe seen under the sheds, A
very large proportion of this traffic is with our Austra-
lian colonies ; and, judging from appearances at the
wharfs, the intercourse with that land of promise is still
increasing with unabated vigour. It was but the other
day that we noticed the completion in this city of four
first-class omnibuses to ply at Melbourne, and also an
iron house for the same place. A few days, and, packed
in a very small compass, both will be on shiptoard, and
off to their destination. And these are but trifles among
the many thousand shipments of the same kind which
are constantly being made,--Okagow paper.

LEWES AND TUNBRIDGE-WELLS.

An influential meeting of landowners, traders, and
others, was held on Tuesday at Maresfield-park, for the
purpose of promoting the construction of a line of rail-
way from Lewes to Tunbridge-wells. Sir John Shelley,
M.P., was called to the chair.

The CHAIRMAN explained that Mr. Giles, an engineer,
had, in compliance with the resolutions of a previous
meeting, surveyed the line. The gradients were ex-
tremely favourable ; the worst was 1 in 95, which, by
some little outlay, might be reduced to lin 103. Their
being able to carry out the project, however, would
greatly depend on the support rendered by the land-
owners in the district. From the Brighton Company he
apprehended no difficulty, and as to the South-Eastern,
it was obviously their interest that such a line should be
made. He (Sir John) believed they would have the as-
sistance of the Brighton Company and of capitalists, pro-
vided they felt that the lino would be supported gene-
rally by the landowners, and that their money would not
be thrown away in the expenses of a Parliamentary con-
test. He then alluded to the course the proposed line
would take, and that there would be a station at Isfield,
one for Maresfield, and another for Fletching and Uck-
field. At its extremities the line would join the Keymer
branch, near Mailing, and the Tw2bridge.wellA and

SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madr d are of the 23d inst.
The new Cabinet did not intend to publish
programme, being anxious to be judged by their
acts.

A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, 24th, says :
"The Madrid Gazette announces that the question
of Marshal Narvaez has been solved ; the Marshal
may return to Spain when he thinks proper. The
new military organization will comprise, it is said,
the nomination of several Generals who had formed
part of the moderate Opposition."
We find in the Gazette, of the 23d, three Royal
decrees, suppressing-1. The Transatlantic Council,
instituted by the decrees of the 30th of Septembers
1851, and 26th of January, 1853 ; 2. The Conr
mission for the Revision of Administrative LINO;
and 3rd. The Junta, created by the decree of the
15th of January last, for the purpose of framing a
project of law for the establishment, at Madrid,
of washing-houses and baths for the working:
classes. Those different projects are to be referred
to the Royal Council and to the local authorities,
with an invitation to propose to the Government"
the measures they may deem advisable.
The Marquis de Gerona, Minister of Grace and
Justice, had arrived at Madrid, and was to take that
evening the oath of office in presence of the Queen.
The Marquis de Molins, Minister of Marine, he'
informed Count de San Luis, by the telegraph,
that he would immediately repair to his post.
The police had arrested the author of a nunbe'
of incendiary and seditious publications which Da"
circulated for some time in Madrid.
The Three per Cents. were done at 43g ; 01
New per Cents.' at 201; the Debt of the Foo.'

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

- - -
Letters from Constantinople of the 16th, an-
nounce that a Cabinet Council, at which the
Sultan presided in person, was held after the fete
of the Bairam. At that Council there were
only four personages, exclusive of the Sultan,
namely,l the Grand Vizier, Redschid Pasha, Me-
hemet Ali Pasha, and the Chief of the Religion,
Scheikh-ulJslam. The object of their deliberations,
or the resolutions, if any, which they adopted, were
not known, though the meeting of these great dig-
nitaries was regarded as of considerable importance.
Whatever may have been the motive for the com-
paratively small detachment that is now before
Constantinople, it is not supposed that it will be
long allowed to remain isolated from the fleets
themselves.

One or two private letters from Constantinople
state that the Sultan was unwilling to demand
the presence of the English and French ships of
war on the ground alleged by some of the dip-
lomatic body, namely, the protection of the English
and French residents, and of the Christian
population generally against the fanaticism of the
Mussulmans, or his personal safety against his
own subjects.

There'is no truth in the rumour of a protest on
the part of the Austrian, Prussian, and Russian
Ambassadors against the passage of the Darda-
nelles.

DEDICATION.—" The Au'hor 0 this work is dead. The care of

it is dedicated; because it exhibit. facti,m frustrating a great man's

MR. GLADSTONE AT INVERNESS.

Mr. Gladstone arrived here shortly after five, and
was received at the Union Hotel by a deputation of the
magistrates and Town Council, who accompanied him
thence to the Court-house. The large building was
crammed in every corner, and among those present was
a considerable number of ladies. Mr. Gladstone, on
entering along with the Provost, was received with loud
applause.
The Provost, on rising, introduced Mr. Gladstone to
the meeting, and introduced the purpose for which they
had assembled—requesting the town clerk to read the
address which had been prepared.

Mr. GLADSTONE rose to respond. He spoke as fol-

services to parties wishing to embark In Mining enterprise, to
aid them in the selection of the soundest as well as the most pro.
raising undertakings. At the present time, wh,di depreciation has
probably gone to the farthest extent, and when so many safe and
valuable shares are so much below their intrinsic value, an invest-
ment would doubtless he attended by immense profits as soon as a
re-action takes place, which may be near at hand. All instructions

THE CASE OF AIISS UUIVIVINGEAMIg

A deputation from the Protestant Alliance had an in•
terview yesterday with Lord Clarendon at the Foreign'
office in reference to the case of Miss M. Cunninghame,
a Scotch lady, who was recently arrested at Lucca, and
is now confined in the prison of that city upon a chart
of distributing the Bible and the "Pilgrim's Progress-
The deputation consisted of the Earl of ShaftesburYt
Colonel Alexander, Mr. Wilbraham Taylor, the
Dr. Beecham, Mr. J. Cook Evans, the Rev. W. H. Rule,
Mr. T. Hamilton, and Captain Giberne, and was
ceived in the most courteous manner by the Foreign
Secretary.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY briefly explained that the
object of the deputation was to lay before his Lordship
the case of Miss M. Cunninghame, and to solicit the in'
tervention of her Majesty's Government to procure 00
lady's liberation from prison. His Lordship, after soot°
remarks upon the case itself, proceeded to express him'
self in the strongest manner upon the barbarous nature
of the law under which Miss Cunninghame was arrested'
and indulged a hope that the most earnest efforts of the
Government would be used to rescue a British subject
from the indignity thus offered to her.
The Earl of CLARENDON said he entirely concurred in
the opinion expressed by Lord Shaftesbury as to thin
character of the law in question, which was not only
contrary to the principles of the Gospe', but to the spin
of the age. His Lordship said he was quite fare-gilt
with the facts of the case, having rEceived a dispitteh'
from Mr. Scarlett on the subject, and that he had I°Bt
no time in forwarding his directions to that gentle
man, which he did the same evening by the post. Mr'
:3
Scarlett had acted with the greatest zeal in the matter,
and in a manner to secure his (Lord Clarendon's) entire
approbation. All the members of the Cabinet f
whom he (Lord Clarendon) had had an opportunitYn
communicating entirely agreed with him in the view
took of the case, and he felt that it was one in which.,n.;
exertion should be spared on part to secure 31r,
Cunninghame's release. His Lordship concluded
his
attention, the deputation for urging this subject uP°ll„,3g
attention, adding that their so doing afforded a strops
of the interest felt in the case by all clas:e".his
The deputation, after thanking his Lordship for
courtesy, and the prompt manner in which he had talon
up the case, withdrew.

HANDICAP SWEEPSTAKES, Tuesday.—By an error in
transcribing the betting on this event, Cheddar was re-
turned at 7 to 2, and Coleraine at 6 to 1 ; the prices
should have been reversed.
What with forfeits and scratchings the list to-day
dwindled to comparative insignificance : in the course of
the morning, however, a bit of bye-sport, consisting of
a pigeon shooting match, in which the " Piccadilly
-rat" was the winner, made some amends for its short-
coming. The attendance on the heath was of a Wed-
nesday's average. The weather dry and breezy ; clouds
of dust occasionally swept through the town with an
almost blinding effect. Watercarts are about as rare at
Newmarket as a horse is at Venice.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—SEPT. 28.
(Before Mr. Commissioner,Holroyd.)
IN RE G. FRANfS.
The bankrupt, a surgeon and apothecary, of Black-
friars-road, applied for his certificate. His unsecured
debts were, 1,9291. ; liabilities, 1,2891. ; the assets
were put down at 570/ ; property held by creditors,
4291. The bankrupt represented himself as having a
capital of 1,1701. on the Ist of January, 1850 ; his
profits in the intervening period had been 4,483/. ; trade
expenses, 1,4921. ; expenses of advertising a medicine
of which he was the proprietor, 1,7991. ; domestic and
personal expenses, 2,6831. ; losses, 7741.
Mr. Lawrance, in support of the bankrupt's applica-
tion, stated that no opposition was offered by the as-
signees or by any creditor. It was probable the lia-
bilities would not be proved against the estate. The
books were unusually well kept for a professional man ;
and the balance-sheet was fully vouched. The large
amount expended for advertising had been necessary in
consequence of a spurious imitation of an article in
which the bankrupt had dealt. The capital and the
profits equalled the expenditure ; but the failure had
been brought about by an unfortunate speculation in a
cab company, which the bankrupt had joined, and had
become liable for their debts. He hoped to receive a
first-class certificate.
His Honour said the bankruptcy had not arisen
wholly from unavoidable circumstances. When he joined
the cab company he must have known that he rendered
himself liable for all their debts ; he had besides put his
name to bills on their account amounting to 1,289/. The
court would, however, grant an immediate certificate of
the second class.
Mr. Lawrance applied for a return of the fees paid
by the bankrupt, which was granted.

LEWES AND TUNBRIDGE-WELLS.

An influential meeting of landowners, traders, and
others, was held on Tuesday at Maresfield-park, for the
purpose of promoting the construction of a line of rail-
way from Lewes to Tunbridge-wells. Sir John Shelley,
M.P., was called to the chair.

The CHAIRMAN explained that Mr. Giles, an engineer,
had, in compliance with the resolutions of a previous
meeting, surveyed the line. The gradients were ex-
tremely favourable ; the worst was 1 in 95, which, by
some little outlay, might be reduced to lin 103. Their
being able to carry out the project, however, would
greatly depend on the support rendered by the land-
owners in the district. From the Brighton Company he
apprehended no difficulty, and as to the South-Eastern,
it was obviously their interest that such a line should be
made. He (Sir John) believed they would have the as-
sistance of the Brighton Company and of capitalists, pro-
vided they felt that the line would be supported gene-
rally by the landowners, and that their money would not
be thrown away in the expenses of a Parliamentary con-
test. He then alluded to the course the proposed line
would take, and that there would be a station at Isfield,
one for Maresfield, and another for Fletching and Uck-
field. At its extremities the line would join the Keymer
branch, near Mailing, and the Tunbridge-wells and

PORTUGAL.

The Chambers were opened on the 2d inst. by
commission, the Queen having been prevented by
slight indisposition from attending personally, and
there was, therefore, no royal speech on the occa-
sion. Many of the deputies from the provinces not
having yet arrived, it may be some time before a
sufficient number can be mustered to form a house ;
besides which, a fortnight or more will no doubt
be wasted, as usual, in the appointment of com-
mittees and settlement of otheripreliminary matters,
the whole of which might with common
diligence
be got through in less than half that time.
The long-expected revision of the tariff, or, more
properly speaking, the new tariff, as it embraces
all the articles mentioned in the old one, has made
its appearance. The duties, instead of being lowered,
on cot-
ton and woollen manufac cures, many articles of which
will thereby be shut out from the Portuguese markets.
are in almost every instance raised, especially
those are precisely such articles of luxury as the
On some things, certainly, they are lowered ; but
revising commissioners (sly roo-ues) are likely to
require themselves : harps
an pianos for their
daughters, and carriages and Champagne for their
own use and delectation. Under the impression
d-
that the duties upon cottons, woollens, hardware,
&c., would be lowered, the British merchants here
had for some time past been keeping back as much
as possible from clearing their goods inwards
through the Custom House, and the consequence is,
that they will now have to pay the higher rates.
Count Santa Maria has been appointed military
governor, in the room of Viscount Fonts Nova,
lately deceased. The count is what the French
term a sabreur, and has never turned his attention
to politics, or to anything else but his own profes-
sion. Some amusing anecdotes are told of him.
On one occasion, wanting to speak of a polygon,
and not being deep in Greek derivations, he called
it a cornered circle. On another, he said that it
was a waste of money to macadamise the down-hill
streets, as it would be quite sufficient to macadam-
ia the up-hill ones.

LUNACY OF THE EARL OF ELDON.

A commission de lunatico inquirendo, touching th
state of mind of the Earl of Eldon, was held yesterday
at Shirley-park, near Croydon, his lordship's residence,
by Mr. Commissioner Winslow and a jury of seventeen
gentlemen resident in the neighbourhood. Sir Frederic
Thesiger and Mr. Hawkins, of the Chancery bar, ap-
peared to prosecute the commission. Mr. Hugh Hill
attended to watch the proceedings on the pal i; of his
lordship. It appeared that his lordship's unsound-
ness of mind is of nearly two years' standing,
but the commission was rendered necessary in con-
sequence of the recent death of the Countess of
Eldon, who, during her lifetime, watched over
his lordship with unceasing care and tenderness. He
was born in 1804, and was consequently in the 48th
year of his age. In 1831 he married a daughter of Lord
Feversham, by whom he had issue six daughters and
one son, Lord Encombe, a boy who was now about
seven years of age. He succeeded in 1838, on the death
of his grandfather, the distinguished Lord Chancellor,
to the family honours and estates. The characteristic
description of the unsoundess of mind was, not preva-
lent delusions, but a partial dementia, exhibited in great
incoherence of conversation, occasional evanescent de-
lusions, and considerable excitement.
The jury returned a verdict, finding that Lord Eldon
had been of unsound mind from the 4th of June, 1851.

It is said the estates -Cans brought under the sur-
veillance of the Court of Chancery amount to nearly
60,0001. a year. It was also rumoured in the court,
though it did not come out in ev:dence, that the over
study which has had such a disastrous effect on Lord
Eldon's mental health was incurred in collecting and
preparing the materials for the life of his illustrious
grandfather, which formed the groundwork of the late
Mr. Twiss's well-known "life of Lord Chancellor
Eldon."

MESSRS. ALLSOPP & SONS' PALE OR
BITTER ALES have been unquestionably, vouched, lu the
most eminent scientific and medical men of the day, to be " a very
agreeable and efficient tonic, as a general beverage both for the inva-
lid and the robust ; and as tending, from the pure and wholesome
mature of the ingredients employed, the moderate proportion of
alcohol present, and the very considerable quantity of aromatic
.anodyne bitter derived from hops alone, which they contain, to pre-
'serve the tone and vigour of the stomach, and to conduce to the
restoration of that organ when in a state of weakness, debility, or
irritability."
In all cases in which Malt Liquors are suitable, none meet the de-
sired effect more certainly, none are prescribed with more confidence
by the Faculty. " The careful manner in Net ich the fermentation is
conducted, causes them to assimilate to Foreign Wines more than
tie ordinary ales of this country ; and on this account they do not
occasion that acidity of stomach created by flee less perfectly fel-
Mented ales." " These Bitter Beers differ from all other prepara-
tion& of malt, in containing a smaller amount of extractive matter,
thus being less viscid and saccharine, and consequently more easy of
digestion. They resemble, indeed, from their lightness, a Wine of
Malt rather than an ordinary fermented infusion ; and it is very sa-
te .ctory to find that a beverage of such general consumption is en-
tirely free from every kind of impurity."

THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

The Council of State held a general sitting on
Thursday, at which the Emperor presided, when a
bill on civil pensions, another concerning found-
lings and poor orphans, and a project of a decree,
having for its object to modify the statutes of dif-
ferent religious communities, were presented for
consideration.

M. Fournier des Ormes, advocate, has been
named' chef du Cabinet of the President .of the
Senate.
The budget of 184 has been sent to the Council
of State, so that the Legislative Body will be able
to enter on its examination during the first days' of
its sittings. By the terms of the Senatus-Consultum,
the budget is to be presented by chapters.
Fri= the monthly returns which have just been
published of the state of the Bank of France, it ap-
pears that the metallic reserve has declined 22k
millions of francs in Paris, and n millions in the
branch-banks. The discount • accommodation has
increa,secl. 22k millions in Paris, and 20 millions in
the departments. The advances in public securi-
ties of France has fallen off 8 millions in Paris, and
iof a million in the provinces. The advances on
railway securities have declined 3k millions in
Paris, but 'have increased 2k millions in the pro-
vinces._ ;.On the side of the liabilities, the notes in
circulation have advanced 8 millions in Paris, and
6 millions in the branch-banks. The account-cur-
rent of the Treasury has advanced 8i millions.
Private accounts-current are 10k millions less in.
Paris, and k a million less in the provinces. 14 he
whole amount of the metallic reserve is at present
482 k millions, to 686 millions of notes in circula-
tion.
The Moniteur publishes a long report from the
Minister of Marine on the re-organisation of " the
administrative service of inspection" of that de-
partment. The Minister states that a system of
control of the construction, fitting out, and arming
of vessels, ' and of the accounts, purchases, and
operation's of all kinds, was established for the
navy by Colbert, was improved by his successors,
and was Completed by the First Consul, by decree
of the 7th Floreal, an VIII. This decree, says
the report, " worthy of meditation, like everything
which emanated from the genius of the extraor-
dinary man who then governed France," esta-
blished maratime prefects, and under the name; of
inspection, a modification of Colbert's system ,of
control, which inspection was dependent on the
Minister alone and corresponded with him. In 1815,
