MARYLEBONE-(THIS DAY.)

Two persons, named Lucas and Allan, were placed at the
bar, charged by a censtable of the D division, with rioting
and creating a disturbance in East Castle-street, Oxford-
market. From the evidence of several witnesses, who were
produced by both prisoners, it appears that there is a " dancing
academy," in the house No. 36, in that street, which is
open to all persons who pay 6d. at the street door. A son of the
prisoner Lucas is the " Professor." Last night, about half-
past twelve, Allan and four others forced themselves in there,
and the consequence was, they were tumbled into the street,
and the row, the subject of the present complaint, took place.
The policeman stated that twice or three times every week
the inhabitants of the neighbourhood were annoyed by disturb-
ances of this description. _ _ _

Mr. HOSKINS dismissed the charges preferred by each pri-
soner against the other, but called Mr. " Professor" Lucas,
and gave bim a hint as to the consequences if charges of this
nature were any more made against his academy.
A young man named Strong was charged with robbing Mr.
Edward Clayton, a tavern-keeper, in whose service he lived as
a bar-man. He was remanded until next Thursday, to afford
time for producing further evidence.

WESTMINSTER MEDICAL SOCIETY.--The an-
nual meeting for the election of officers was held on Saturday
evening, Mr. Hale Thompson, President, in the Chair. The
ballot terminated in the appointment of Dr. Chowne as presi-
dent, Mr. King as vice-president, and ten other gentlemen to
fill up the same number of vacancies on the Committee. The
subject of obtaining more appropriate premises was brought
forward, anti it was announced that the Committee were taking
steps for that purpose. Mr. Smith exhibited a singular pa-
thological specimen of injury in the spine of a young lady ;
arid Dr. Addison stated that purpura was now most inveterate
on the Borough side of the water, both in hospital practice
and otherwise, and in such cases as to favour his views of the
epidemic nature of the disorder, which was more connected
with derangement of the spleen than anything else. In mild
cases the patients generally get well, but when the disease is
bad, the case is almost hopeless. Dr. Chowne considered
that in many respects it was analagous with the patechial
fever, being produced by the same dispositions of the atmos-
phere, and stated that this was much on the decline. Amongst
other remedies that were proposed for the former was ergot of
rye, which was supported by Dr. Golding Bird, who illus-
trated the case of a Gipsy woman, where from eating brown
bread which was made of ergotized rye a great vascularity
in the system was produced, tending to ossification of the arteries.

We have received New York Papers to the 13th October.
The New York Gazette of the 12th of October announces
the arrival at New York of the Royal William steamer, and
the day of her sailing for England has been changed from the
18th to the 20th, at two o'clock, at which time she will posi-
tively sail :—" We are requested by the agents of the Royal
William to state, that in consequence of complaints that some
letters have not been received by her, that she did not leave
Liverpool until three quarters of an hour after the time speci-
fied for the letter-bags to be closed. Exchange 9. The
Royal William made her passage out in 21 days to New York."
Montreal Papers to the 10th October have been received at
the North and South American Coffee-house :—" Two rebels
of the name of Scott have been sentenced to be hanged at
Norwich, Upper Canada, on the 20th of this month. They
are the sons of a respectable Quaker in that town, and were
tried for robbing a man of a pair of pistols."
(From the Montreal Paper of October 6.)
The surmised intentions of the Earl of Durham to remain
in the province until he shall have brought his inquiries, as
High Commissioner, into some degree of maturity, should the
report prove to be well founded, must be highly satisfactory to
any one who is interested in the happiness and prosperity of
the country. These important inquiries, once completed in
the manner in which it is evident Lord Durham has proposed
to complete them, the Imperial Government can no longer be
furnished with an excuse for refraining to submit to her Ma-
jesty and Parliament some comprehensive and fundamental
measures for the final settlement of our difficulties.

On Thursday night his Excellency Sir George Arthur,
accompanied by the Attorney-General of Upper Canada, ar-
rived in town on his way to Quebec, to pay a visit to his Ex-
cellency the Governor- General, previous to the departure of
his Lordship.

COMMERIAL.—The amount of business done during the
last week has been considerably less than that of the preced-
ing, a number of principal buyers from Upper Canada
having left town. From the continued absence of the full
traders, it is found, that merchants living above Kingston will
not be able to get up their usual supplies. In the produce
market we have little variation, to notice, from our last quota-
tions. Flour sales have been made at 41s. 3d. to 425. 6d.
West India produce—From the quantity of Sugar in market,
and what is to arrive, it is anticipated that prices will still
further recede. In Exchange no alteration.
Quebec Papers received to the 7th October :—" This morn-
ing his Excellency, Sir George Arthur, Governor of Upper
Canada, arrived on board the Canada steam-boat, and
landed under a salute from the citadel. A variety of
rumours have been afloat of a conspiracy being dis-
covered on the river Chambly, also of further menacing
movements in the western part of the State of New York
and along the frontier of Upper Canada. These reports have
been connected with the arrival of Sir George Arthur, and the
orders for the frigates to proceed to Halifax, but the coinci-
dent, we imagine, is merely accidental, though we are far
from anticipating a quiet winter."

We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the 19th of Oc-
tober, by the Mediteranean mail. As usual, the news they
contain from Spain has been anticipated by the French
Papers.
We have a mail from Lisbon, by the Liverpool, of the
21st of October, which states that the Miguclites do not ap-
pear to be in the least dismayed in the Algarves and the
Alemtejo, notwithstanding the large force that the Govern-
ment sent against them. One of young Remeschido's Lieu-
tenants entered a populous village on the 15th, at the head of
100 cavalry, and was driven out of the place by the Queen's
troops, after three hours' hard fighting. All was tranquil a!
Lisbon when the packet sailed.
The United States packet ship, from New York, is off
Liverpool; sailed on the 13th of October.
