Macedonian power." "The Fine Arts at Rome
in the years 1736 and 1737," present some curious
specimens of ancient designs to our notice. At
the conclusion of the extracts the author remarks
that, after five months' sojourn at Rome, he had
only spent one hundred pounds, including music
masters and many things he bought. In the no-
tice of " The Memoirs of Dr. Bathurst, Bishop of
Norwich, by his daughter, Mrs. Thistlethwayte,"
it is observed " that the book has done nothing to
heighten our esteem morally .or intellectually,
though it removes the offensive material with
which Archdeacon Bathurst surrounded it." The
latter alludes to a former work.

A letter from Berne of the 29th ult. says :—" The
ultra-radical meeting of Lugano, which proposed to
its& to overturn the Government of Ticino, has
completely failed in its object. The meeting was
not a numerous one, not more than fifty red radi-
cals being present. The proposition to summon
the government to withdraw met with but few
partisans, and led to such"% tumult that menaces
were uttered on both sides.
A telegraphich despatch from Coire (Orisons),
of the 29th ult., in a Berne journal, states that
" Clemente, Cassola, and Grillenzoni, who were
accused of having taken part in the Milan plot,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTE RSALL'S-THIIRSDAY.

Notwithstanding the frightful accident which occurred
on the Great Northern line, on Wednesday evening,
most of the principal bookmakers, nothing daunted,
left town in good time next mornig, en route to Lincoln.
The attendance at "The Corner" was consequently very
scanty, and business was extremely dull.
The only feature of interest was the further decline
of West Australian for the St. Leger— 60 to 50 was laid
five or six times against him, and still offered at the
close. Seven fifties to two were taken about Sitting-
bourne, 7 to 1 to a pony about Rataplan, 10 to 1 to 501.
about The Reiver, and 20 to 1 to "fifteen sovereigns"
about lord Exeter's lot ; Cineas was untouched.
Very little indeed was done on the Handicaps named
below-1000 to 20, and 1000 to 25, were taken about
King Pepin for the Cesarewitch—and Pelion was backed
for both Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire at 100 to 30
for each. Closing prices .

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

This week's arrival of English wheat up to our market
coastwise has amounted to 1,520 quarters, almost wholly
from Essex and Kent. Fresh up to-day, the receipts by
land carriage were trifling, and the show of samples was
small. Although the trade was not so brisk, factor w e re
very firm, and most of them refused to sell except at an
advance of from is to 2s per quarter.
From abroad 10,980 quarters of wheat have come in.
That article was in good request, and prices were a shade
higher than on Monday. Floating cargoes realised extreme
rates.
There was a good sale for barley, and new qualities sold
as high as 40s per quarter.
There was an improved demand for malt, the value of
which had an upward tendency.
Good sound oats were scarce, and rather dearer. Low
and middling parcels were firm.
Beans and peas sold on former terms.
There was a good business doing in flour, and the best
town-made was worth 60s per 2801bs.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 11th contains a royal
order addressed to the Minister of Grace and Jus-
tice, to the effect that, in compliance with the re-
quest of newspaper proprietors, original political
and literary articles published in their papers shall
be considered private property, protected by the
laws, and shall not be quoted or copied without
their permission. The resolution of the Govern-
ment relative to the Northern Railway was, says
the Diario, about to be published in the Gazette ;
but it was said that it considered the demands
made by M. Salamanca with respect to it exorbi-
tant. The Nacion states that, on account of the
existing complications of Europe, the Spanish Go-
vernment intends to send a reinforcement of 4,000
men to Mahon. A letter says that the Queen, on
account of her interesting situation, will not open
the Cortes in person.

The Nacion announces that the Government, in
anticipation of the political complications likely to
arise in the present state of affairs in Europe, in-
tended to send a reinforcement of 4,000 men to
Mahon.
The Three per Cents were done at 421 ; the
New Three per Cents. at 22i ; the Debt of the first

TELEGRAPH FROM NEW Yon)/ TO LIVERPOOL.—.AC-
cording to a communication inserted in the New York
Journal of Commerce, the formation of a company for is
telegraph from New York to Liverpool is nearly com-
pleted. The route is to be vid Nova Scotia, Newfound-
land, and Galway, to Liverpool, the whole length being
about 2,800 miles, at an entire cost of about 350,000/.
Improved methods of constructing and laying and laying
submarine wires, discovered by an inventor in Massa-
chusetts, will, it is alleged, greatly facilitate the under-
taking, and the right of using them has been purchased
on behalf of the company. These new methods, it is
added, will enable the work to be accomplished within
six months from its commencement, so that, if it be
begun, as intended, in the ensuing spring, the line will
be in operation by this time next year. No names are
given, however, in any way to certify the validity of the
project.

THE ALLEGED VIOLENCE BY A SCHOOL TEAMED
AT CLERKENWELL.--Yesterday Mr. Wakley resumed
the adjourned inquiry touching the death of Tasman
Castle, aged 11 years. It will be recollected that the
deceased was an attendant at the North British Schools,
Calthorpe-street, Gray's-inn-road, and that on the I!it
September, she came home ill, and complained of pain
in the head, which had been produced by the teacher
striking her with a book. The jury, after hearing
quantity of additional evidence, returned a verdict of
"Natural death," clearly exonerating any person from
blame, as had been suspected and charged,

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Last night Mr. G. V. Brooke appeared for the first
time in Sheridan Knowles's play of William Tell. If,
as is undoubtedly the case, Mr. Brooke has achieved a
popularity as an actor rarely equalled, and by his pre-
vent engagement has done wonders for this theatre, it is

not the less certain that the period has not been without
great advantage to himself as regards his dramatic capa-
bilities. Great as were his abilities first admitted to be,
it must have been evident to any one who saw him last
night that there has been, since his debut at Drury-lane,
manifest improvement in his acting. He seems wisely
not to have suffered popular applause to induce him to
think that he no longer needed any study of his art. He
made a good deal of the part of William Tell ; he was
the hot but rugged patriot to the life ; and his pathos
was manly if not refined ; and if he missed some of the
niceties with which the byeplay of the character has
hitherto been invested, there can be no doubt that his
was, on the whole, a bold and telling performance.
To-morrow (Wednesday) evening is the last night of
his appearance, and we would counsel those who have
not yet witnessed his performances, to avail themselves
of that opportunity. The occasion will also be interesting
to the late frequenters of the theatre, as he is to under.
take the difficult and hazardous part of Macbeth, for
which he is supposed by many, and not with out good
giounds, to be peculiarly adapted.

THE PATHOLOGY and RATIONAL TREAT-
MENT of STRICTURE of the URETHRA, in all it• Varie-
ties and Complications. With Practical Observations on the Use and
Abuse of Urethral Instruments. The whole illustrated by numerous
cases, showing that this disease may be succeadully treated by means
at once simple and safe, even In its most inveterate and apparently
intractable forms. By F. B. COURTENAY, "We
believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stricture
during the last 20 years has equalled, if indeed it has not surpassed,
that of any of his contemporaries, and we know of no man to whose
care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a
severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular, July 27,
1853. H. tailliere, 219, Regent-street.

ITALY.

The Duke de Nemours and the Princess of Saxe-
Coburg have arrived at Turin, under the incognitos
of Count d'Embleur and Baroness of Ernenthal.
The anniversary of the burial of King Charles
Albert was celebrated on the 14th in the cathedral
of Turin.

The accounts received from the East had excited
considerable agitation among the numerous re-
fugees residing at Genoa. They were beginning to
plan the invasion of the neighbouring states for the
purpose of rousing the population to insurrection.
To that effect the Republican Committee had
widely circulated a proclamation through several
provinces of Italy, and a Turin journal, the Voce
della Liberia, contended in one of its last numbers
that the Piedmontese Government ought to allow
the emigrants liberty to act. The Government,
however, in the interest of the refugees themselves,
had adopted measures to prevent the realization of
these projects. Thirty of them were arrested, but
seven or eight had been almost immediately libe-
rated. The Austrians, who occupy Modena and
Tuscany, had formed a cordon along the Sardinian
frontier, and the Piedmontese Government, on its
side, had thought proper to take some military
measures of precaution.

at the beginning of the next fiscal year (April 6, 1854),
and not until then.

firmness in grain. Freights were enormously high, as

ite-ad, aged 63, and John Albin, aged 24, both convicts,
Who had died of cholera in the gaol—the former after
an illness of only two hours and a half's duration. From

cal skill could devise was rendered to the deceased ; and
a verdict of " Died from Asiatic Cholera" was returned
iza both cases.

LAW INTELLIGENCE•

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—OcT. 17.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)

IN BE ARMSTRONG.
The bankrupt had traded as a linendraper at Norwich.
This was the meeting for the last examination. His ac-
counts extended over 412 years, and showed a sum of
933/. due to unsecured creditors, with assets estimated
M 1731. The profits had been 5251. ; losses and ex•
penses 1,2801. At a former meeting the examination
had been adjourned sine die, the accounts being vague
and unsatisfactory. He had since filed additional ac-

counts.
Mr. Rust, for the assignees, expressed their satisfac-
tion with the amended accounts, and offered no oppo-
sition to the bankrupt's passing.
Mr. Turner opposed, for a creditor, contending that
the accounts were still unsatisfactory, and not such as to
entitle the bankrupt to pass.
Mr. Linklater, on behalf of the bankrupt, went
through the accounts in detail, and showed that they
were the best which the bankrupt could render, and
were vouched as far as possible under the circumstances,
he having kept very imperfect books.
His honour remarked that of the domestic expenses
of 5651, only 171. was vouched. He would, however,
allow him to pass.
Mr. Turner—Perhaps your honour will allow us to
consider all questions reserved.
The Commissioner—Not as to the accounts—only as
to conduct.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Last night Mr. G. V. Brooke appeared for the first
time in Sheridan Knowles's play of William Tell. If,
as is undoubtedly the case, Mr. Brooke has achieved a
popularity as an actor rarely equalled, and by his pre-
sent engagement has done wonders for this theatre, it is
not the less certain that the period has not been without
great advantage to himself as regards his dramatic capa-
bilities. Great as were his abilities first admitted to be,
it must have been evident to any one who saw him last
night that there has been, since his debut at Drury-lane,
manifest improvement in his acting. He seems wisely
not to have suffered popular applause to induce him to
think that he no longer needed any study of his art. lie
made a good deal of the part of William Tell ; he was
the hot but rugged patriot to the life ; and his pathos
was man.ly if not refined ; and if he missed some of the
niceties with which the byeplay of the character has
hitherto been invested, there can be no doubt that his
was, on the whole, a bold and telling performance.
To-morrow (Wednesday) evening is the last night of
his appearance, and we would counsel those who have
not yet witnessed his performances, to avail themselves
of that opportunity. The occasion will also be interesting
to the late frequenters of the theatre, as he is to under.
take the difficult and hazardous part of Macbeth, for
which he is supposed by many, and not with out good
grounds, to be peculiarly adapted.

TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA.
May it please your Majesty, We, your Majesty's duti-
ful and loyal subjects, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Bur-
gesses of your Majesty's ancient and borough of Pres-
ton, humbly approach your Royal person to express our
sense of the high honour your Majesty has conferred upon
the borough by having again made it the place of your
temporary sojourn.
It has been a source of proud gratification to the autho-
rities of the town and all the inhabitants to find that the
enthusiastic reception of your Majesty on your former
visit to Preston, has induced your Majesty to honour our
ancient borough by a second temporary stay.
We beg to assure your Majesty that we and the rest of
the inhabitants of Preston at all times feel a lively interest
in your Majesty's welfare, and that of your Royal Consort
and Family, and pray the Almighty that your Majesty
may long be spared to reign over a loyal and devoted
people.
Given under the common seal of the borough of Preston,
this 14th day of October.
