WOOL.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Commigsioner Shepherd was occupied all the
morning in disposing of insolvency cases, but nothing
of the slightest interest transpired. Thera are a great
number of new cases in the list for the week on pe-
tition, filed before the 14th ult., in order to bring
them on for hearing in this court instead of being
dealt with under the new Act.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
The October general quarter sessions for the county
of Middlesexcornmenced this morning at eleven o'clock
in the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, before Mr.
Pownall and a very full bench of magistrates.
The only business disposed of was the receiving
from the collectors of different districts the several
parish rentals, which was gone through in about ten
minutes, after which the Court adjourned until two
o'clock, when the new county rate was to be considered.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
John Holland, an elderly man, was charged by
Eliza Fletcher, waitress at an eating-house in King-
street, with stealing a pair of decanters and a tumbler,
the property of her employer, Mr. Whitfield.
It appeared that the prisoner entered the eating-
room last evening, on pretence of inquiring for " a
person named Barker." He appeared very anxious
that the waitress should inquire of her master. Find-
ing that she would not leave the shop he went away,
but continued to loiter about, occasionally looking in
at the window. On the waitress leaving the room for
a moment the prisoner stealthily entered, and was just
" walking off" with two decanters and a tumbler,
when she returned and discovered him.
He was committed for trial.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

Charles Johnson and Edward Orpin, two sturdy
young fellows, were placed before Mr. Hardwick,
charged with loitering about the public streets for
an unlawful purpose, and the former with assaulting
the police-constable in the execution of his duty.
Police-constable 56 C said he was on duty in
Newport-market this morning, about five o'clock,
when his attention was called to the prisoners and
another man, who were standing in a doorway in
Hayes-court. Thinking they were up to no good he
went up to turn them off his beat. Directly the
prisoner Johnson saw him coming up he made a rush
at him, and struck him a violent blow under his jaw,
and knocked him down in the mud. Witness sprang
his rattle for assistance, when the prisoners ran away
towards Castle-street. He pursued them, and came
up with them in Bear-street, where they were
stopped by another constable, who assisted witness to
take them to the station-house. The prisoner Orpin
did not strike him or offer the least resistance.

In defence, the prisoner Johnson stated that the
constable was the aggressor. If he struck the con-
stable, he only did so in self-defence.
Mr. HARDWICK committed Johnson to the House
of Correction for one month for the assault, and as
Orpin had not struck the constable he should dis-
charge him.
Thomas Miller, a determined beggar, was charged
before Mr. Hardwick with ~assaulting Police-con-
stable C 153.

The complainant stated that, on the previous
afternoon, about four o'clock he saw the prisoner
beg of several gentlemen in St. James's-square. The
gentlemen refused to give him anything, and told
him to go about his business ; he then called the
gentlemen a set of b-. Witness then went up to
him and took him into custody. He had no sooner
got hold o t him than he assailed witness in a violent
manner, and struck him in the face, kicked him
on the legs, and threw him down. Witness called
for assistance, and a person came to his aid and helped
to convey him to the station. The prisoner, who is
one of the worst and most abusive beggars in London,
was committed to the House of Correction for six
weeks, with hard labour.

than a common hack cab-horse., This is not the case
in all instances, as a matter of course; there are many
noblemen and gentlemen who run their horses on their
merits; but as I said before, and now say again, to be a suc-
cessful speculator, you must study the owner, weather,
and course, as well as the horse. I have been led into this
tirade by witnessing the defeat of two or three " pots" in
the last meeting at Newmarket, where, by the bye, I was
not quite so successful as usual, having named Teetotum
for the Hopeful, who was easily beat for the first place
by Blaze; but bar the first-rate riding of Nat on Red
Hart, for the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, I sheu!d have
succeeded in placing the four in the order they arrived
at the post. I however succeeded in placing correctly
Foreclosure, Ziska, and Miami, for the St. Leger Stakes;
and named the second and fourth for the Rutland Stakes.

The Second October gathering on the Heath com-
mences on Monday, and extends over five days, having
no less than forty-four stakes and matches likely to
produce races, consequently the meeting may be termed
plethoric, being the greatest Second October Meeting
that has ever taken place by three races.
The ball opens with a 50 Sovs. Plate; entries to be
made the evening before running.
A Sweepstakes of 50 sous. each, 30 ft, for three yrs
old fillies, over the Ditch Mile, has a dozen subscribers,
but not likely to have more than three starters—Bridle,
Hangosteen, and the Revelry filly, who will find their
way home in the order placed.
On Tuesday, for the Clearwell Stakes, a field of ten
may be expected at the post, probably the following:—
Crusade, The Empress, Vulcan, Sir Roland de Bois,
Blaze`(6lb extra), Loadstone, Glendower (6lb extra), The
Architect, Cara filly, and Reflection. Although at
the last moment the field may be curtailed of
four or five, it will make but little or no difference in
the result, the race must lay between that superior trio,
Blaze, Glendower, and Loadstone. The latter having
no penalty to carry, will have that advantage over the
other two, and to him and Blaze I must look for the
winner, Glendower third.
The Royal Stakes will be a walk over for Red Hart.
The Cesarewitch Stakes of 25 sous. each, 15 ft, with
300 added b),,, the Grand Duke Cesarewitch, is the most
attractive stake of the meeting, and will probably have a
large field of antagonists at the post, being part or
whole of the following, viz.:—

Of these, according to the distance and weight, Wolf-

front rank at the distance. Six being too many to take
against the field, I give it as my opinion that Mr.

tion

and shall be much surprised if one of the trio do not
pull me through.
On Wednesday, for the Bedford Stakes not more than
half a dozen will run, to be selected from the following. •
The Empress, Sir Rowland de Bois, Prairie Bird, Laurista
Tisiphone, Chapelgowrie, Sable, Lovelace, Franciscan,,
and the Hussar; with two exceptions (Lovelace and
Tisiphone) these are all dark, and from the Sable divi-
sion I expect the winner will spring in the shape of
Franciscan or the Prairie Bird.
A Sweepstakes of 100 sous. each to Bridle, a filly by
the Saddler out of Fauchon second.
The 50 Sovs. Stakes to Buckstone, Alpheca second,
colt by Redshank third.
On Thursday, the Bretby Stakes of 100 Sovs. each,
h ft, for 2 yrs old fillies, will have Contessa, The Lady
Augusta, Jenny Lind, Industry filly, and Reflection for
starters, with Jenny Lind the winner, the Lady Augusta
second, and Contessa third.
On Friday, the Prendergast Stakes, so thoroughly
dependant on the issue of the Clearwell, may probably
enough produce a panic in the ring should Loadstone
miss the mark.
The Torrington Stakes may produce a race between
all the entries, three in number;
it will come off thus:—Sable first, Doubtful second, and
Virago filly third.
In conclusion, I shall attach the probable issue of the
numerous matches:—

Oct. 9.

HEALTH Or TIIE METROPOLIS.-Mr. Wakley, M.P.,
held an inquest, on Saturday, at the Turk's Head, Turn-
mill-street, Clerkenwell, on Sarah Burridgp, aged five
weeks, the child of poor parents, residing at No. 5,
Cock-court. The mother stated that she had found the
child at her side, and that she ,had a short time pre-
viously lost another child. The Coroner said that he
had never before witnessed a more offensive appearance
than the locality in which deceased lay presented. It
was impossible to exist amidst such filth and wretched.
ness. A juror observed that there were many other
places in Clerkenwell more disgusting and dangerous to
health than Cock-court, where the houses had not even
a privy. The Coroner hoped that Government would
lose no time in putting an end to such a frightful state
of things; indeed he was sure it would not. Verdict—
" Natural death."

Since Monday last the imports of wool have been
again tolerably extensive, viz., 2,120 bales from Sydney;
65 ditto from Bombay ; 101 ditto from Harnburgh ;
and 100 ditto from various other quarters. Public sales
of about 20,000 bales are expected to take place in about
a .fortnight. Privately the demand for all kinds of wool
is m a very inactive state; nevertheless, late prices are
pretty
generally supported, notwithstanding the supplies
on offer are seasonably large.

AUGMENTED REVENUES FROM REDUCED RATES.
—The receipts from the dock estates here furnish an-
other illustration of the elasticity which cheapness im-
parts to everything dependent on extensive consump-
tion. Notwithstanding the reduction of 40,0001. per
annum which has been made in rates, the dock receipts
are reported to be equal now to what they were at this
period last year; the amount then being 71,910/., now
it is 71,8221.; or, as the chairman of the dock committee
explained it, whilst the reduction on the rates was about
13 per cent. on the whole income, the increase in actual
business exceeded that of the previous year in the satne
proportion.—Manchester Guardian.
TESTIMONIAL TO MR. ROEBUCK.—We have been
much pleased by a sight of a very handsome little piece
of plate, which is now lying at the house of Mr. Wood,
shoemaker, Claverton-buildings, Widcombe. It it a
very elegant silver salver, embellished by workmanship
of good design and chaste in execution, and bears the
following inscription :—" Presented to John Artihur
Roebuck, Esq., by the wives and daughters of the Libre ral
electors of the ward of Lyncombe and Widcombe, in ;the
city of Bath, anno Domini 1847. —Berth Journal.
THE ECLIPSE.—The eclipse of Saturday mornit ‘g,
so far as the metropolis is concerned, was deprived it t a
great measure of its interest to the general obsery er,
heavy clouds shrouding the sun during the principal ?c-
-ried of its obscuration.

THE DUJARRIER DUEL.
TRIAL OF M. DE BEAUVALLON.
The charge of perjury against M. de Beauvallon
came on on Friday before the Court of Assize. The
circumstances out of which this prosecution arose
have been so fully before the public that it is neces-
sary only to mention now the leading points. It will
be remembered, that when M. d'Ecquevilley, one of
the seconds in the duel between M. de Beauvallon
and M. D ujarrier, was tried not long ago on a charge
of perjury, M. de Beauvallon appeared as a witness,
and deposed to certain facts, which the jury, by their
verdict against M. d'Ecquevilley, declared to be false.
M. de Beauvallon, being contradicted by other evi-
dence, was ordered into custody, and after an inquiry
by the Chambre des Mises en Accusation, a warrant
was made out for his trial before the Court of Assize.
The chief point in the evidence of M. de Beau-
vallon, on behalf of M. d'Ecquevilley was as to the
pistols which were used. Beauvallon strenuously
denied that they had been tried by him in the garden
of d'Ecquevilley, at Chaillot, whereas other witnesses
deposed that they had.
On Friday, after the usual interrogatories as to the
age, profession, &c., of the prisoner, M. de Beauvallon
was asked by the President whether it was not one.
of the conditions of the duel that the pistols should
be unknown to either of the principals in the duel, to
which he replied, that he was not aware of this until
after the duel. Being next questioned as to the trial
of the pistols in the garden of M d'Ecquevilley, he
denied that any had taken place, or that he had made
an appointment with M. de Meynard to go there
with him for that purpose. He stated that he was
afraid M. d'Ecquevilley would not be up sufficiently
early for the duel, and had resolved to go to his
house to rouse him ; and as M. de Meynard had pro-
mised to accompany him, an appointment was made
to that effect. The prisoner also denied the truth of
the evidence of Madame Valori, who swore, on the
trial of D'Ecquevilley, that he (Beauvallon) had
called on her, and told her that he was going to try
the pistols. He was next reminded of the evidence of
M. de Bertrand, who swore that, on the ground, he
put his finger into one of the pistol-barrels and with-
drew it blackened, thus showing that it had been re-
cently used, and of the corroborative testimony of
Dr. Guise. He declared that he was utterly igno-
rant of this circumstance. The President, having
reminded him of the description given by M. de
Meynard of the locality where the pistols were tried,
the prisoner said, nothing of what M. de
Meynard had stated as to what took place was true,
and that he had gone to the garden to study the
locality and invent the fable which he had recited in
I Court. He was next asked why he had concealed
that the pistols which were used at the duel were the
property of his brother-in-law, M. Grapier de Cas-
sagnac. He said that he had not concealed it, but
had mentioned the fact to several persons. In con-
clusion, he admitted that he had sworn, on the trial
of M. d'Ecquevilley, that the pistols had not been
tried by him (M. Beauvallon), and persisted in the
assertion.
The first witness called was M. de Meynard, who
repeated the evidence which he had given in the
former case as to the trial of the pistols, &c., by M.
de Beauvallon. M. de Meynard declared that he
had no animosity against the prisoner, and had given
his evidence only from a sense of public duty.
The prisoner said he believed that M. de Meynard
had an animosity against him. It would be for his
counsel, at the proper time, to state the cause. The
President said the time had arrived, but the prisoner
persisted in remaining silent; observing, however,
that the cause of animosity was of a nature to strike
the court and the jury when it should be made known.
At length, being pressed by the President, he said
with some hesitation, that it was jealousy about a
female. M. de Meynard, be said, had at one time
paid his court to a female, and thinking he had been
supplanted by him had resolved to be revenged. There
was not, he added,
a word of truth in what M. de
Meynard had sworn against him.
M. de Meynard, with great energy, denied that he
had ever entertained the feeling ascribed to him by
the prisoner, and again declared that he had sworn
truly, and from no other motive than a sense of what
was due to justice.
The prisoner produced some letters from a female,
from which it would appear that M. de Meynard was
much irritated against M. de Beauvallon, and had
pursued her with
hisassiduities after wounding her
husband in a duel.

act otherwise, and to tell you that God has seen your
tears, and accepted your repentance. Do not give
way any more to grief, which would deprive you of
that strength of which you have so much need in that
exile which commences for you. Separated from
your family and your affections, and distant from your
country, you will feel a fatal isolation and mortal sad-
ness. To support them you must have all your courage.
And then will come basenesses, calumnies, treasons ;
for, at the risk of making you smile with your own
incredulous air, I will repeat to you that there are
many who are envious of you, and that you have even
many enemies. ' I have never done harm to any one,'
you will tell me, for you are incorrigible on this
point. I, who have more experience, will answer
you with my woman's obstinacy, that it is not neces-
sary to have done people harm to be detested by
them; it suffices to be superior to them in any respect.
Do you believe, for example, that you will ever be
forgiven your success in the world, your position at
the head of a widely-circulated journal, your book
so much applauded, and those honourable decorations
which you have obtained at the age of twenty-four ?
More is not required to heap up hatred
around your name, especially when it is writ-
ten in all the newspapers, and in the ac-
count of a duel. Listen—l tell you that in less
than three months you will pass —you, so good,
so upright ; you, softness incarnate—for a bully, with
a hard heart and pitiless hand. Till now you have
lived in happiness, but now you will have to struggle.
Arm yourself, then, with courage and resignation. I
promise you to do as much on my part, for I also
must have an ample stock of those virtues which I
recommend to you. My life is so sad that it cannot
be described—l see no one—l go no where. (Dur-
ing the reading of this part of the letter, the prisoner,
after in vain trying to control his emotion, burst into
tears.) 'When I say that I see no one, it is not strictly
true. I always see, to my regret, your friend M. de
Meynard. -He continues to whine out his love for
me in the most lamentable manner. I should not
have the right to complain too much, if his innocent
declarations were confined to this; but twice a day
he regularly addresses me epistles written in a style
which would greatly amuse me in any other disposi-
tion of mind. You know that lam not a coquette,
and that what would flatter any other daughter of
Eve only wearies and fatigues me. Yesterday he
carried his audacity so far as to present himself
before me, and, taking a very dramatic attitude, he
declaimed to me, without often failing in memory, a
declaration overflowing with sarcasms and insulting
allusions with respect to you. In reply I ordered him
to withdraw ; when, making his shrill voice take all
the tones of passion and mortification, he uttered an
anathema against you which was worthy of the Bou-
levards. Ile knew, he said, that I loved-you, and that
it was on account of you that I rejected him, and he
concluded by declaring that he would be revenged on
you. In truth, I know not to what length his anger
would have carried him against you if I had not shut
the door in his face. It is not necessary to say that I
do not attach any more importance to the threats of
this little gentleman than they merit. But I tell you
that, because I desire to banish from your heart the
excessive confidence which you have in people you
call your friends. A sincere friend, Rosamond, is
still rarer than a faithful mistress. But I see you
frown, so let us talk no more about it. Keep your
illusions—may they be the companion of your exile,
poor child of my thoughts! I expect my husband.
—(Loud laughter in the court.) He is always
on the point of leaving, but does not. He is so
much occupied at this period of the- year. I shall,
no doubt, return to the country with him. Tell me
how you have been received by your friends, Gene-
rals Narvaez, Mazarredo, Pezuela, Cordova —in
short, tell me a great many things. My little
daughter warmly kisses your friend. I can never
reconcile myself to place her at school ; and, be-
sides, I love to consecrate to her education those
hours which I should otherwise lose in society.—
(Smiles.) Adieu, and reply soon to your tiresome

Mend."
On this letter M. de Meynard remarked, " At the
time at which it was stated that I had the door
slammed in my face, I was not in Paris ! At least, to
the best of my recollection I was not !"
The President, addressing the prisoner, said,
" Was not the letter written for the necessity of your
defence ?"
The prisoner's advocate declared that he would not
answer the question ; but he observed that the tone
of the letter showed that it was really written at the
time it bore date.
The President then read the second letter, which
was of a similar nature, mentioning also in severe
terms M. de Meynard's conduct in a duel with the
lady's husband.
The President having asked M. de Meynard if be
desired to see the letters, he cried warmly, " No, I
will not see them. lam indignant at the means that
are employed—Pcannot understand the conduct of the
prisoner or his advocate. It is said in one of those
letters that I fought, and that—but let my witness at
the duel be called, and he will say if any allusion was
made with respect to it to M. Beauvallon. I could
give a mass of proofs to show that my relations with
this lady inspire me neither with passion, hate, or
jealousy.—(Agitation in the court, M. de Meynard
having spoken with great firmness.) On the return
of M. Beauvallon this lady made reports respecting
M. D'Ecquevilley." M. de Meynard was proceed-
ing, when he was stopped by the President, who told
him that he had said enough.
Some other testimony of an unimportant nature
was then given, and the Court adjourned.—Galiynani.

M. de Meynard protested that there never was any
ground for this statement. He admitted that he had
fought a duel with her husband, but asserted that he
had always professed the most profound respect for
the wife. He was not in Paris at the time when he
was stated in the letters to have paid the visits there
spoken of.
Several other witnesses then gave evidence to the
effect that De Meynard had told them, either before
or after the trial of Beauvallon at Rouen, that the
pistols had been tried in Ecquevilley's garden on
the morning
of the duel and they deposed also
to the truth of the other circumstances tending
to prove that fact, which have already been recorded.
,
Among these witnesses were M. Arthur Bertrand,
M. E. de Girardin, M. Arnoux, Doctor de Guise, and
hllle.lori. The latter declared that Beauvallon
had called on her, on the morning of the duel, to take
de Meynard, with whom she lived, and had told her
that he was about to practice pistol-shooting, previous
to going to the duel. This witness also declared that
she had nothing to do with the letters which had
been referred to.
When her evidence was concluded the prisoner's
advocate exclaimed . ' woman has just sworn
that her name is Valori, but that is not her real
name."

THE TREASURY AND THE COUNTY COURTS.—It
appears from a Treasury circular to the Judges of the
County Courts, issued on the 21st ult., that it is the in-
tention of the Government to carry into effect the provi-
sions of the 29th and 40th secs. of the Act 9 and 10
Vict., c. 95, for the more easy recovery of small debts
and demands in England, by placing the Judges, clerks,
and other officers of the County. Courts upon salary,
from and after the Ist inst. We sincerely hope that the
Government will order that a sufficiently remunerative ;
salary be given to the sub-bailiffs, whose duties are
really very laborious and difficult, and some of wbom,
especially in large agricultural distric ts, have had to
travel a distance of twenty miles for the paltry pittance
of is. aid. ! the High Bailiff pocketing the other is. sad. ;
three shillings and fivepence only being allowed on a
claim of 20s. for that distance. This is too bad, and the
Lords of the Treasury ought to see that those men who
do the hardest and most work are the best paid.—From a
Correspondent.
MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS.—The Marquis of Lans-
downe (the Lord President of the Council) is expected
to arrive at Lansdowne House from Bowood Park, Wilts,
this evening or to-morrow morning, to preside at the
Cabinet Council to-morrow. The Earl Grey is to leave
Howick Hall, Northumberland to-day, for Datchet, near
Windsor, whence his Lordship comes to town to-mor-
row. The Marquis of Clanricarde came to town yester-
day, accompanied by
.the Marchioness and Lady Emily
De Burgh, from visiting the Earl and Countess Cowper,
at Panshanger, Herts. The Right Hon. Sir John Cam
Hobhouse returns to London to-day from Erlstoke Park,
Wilts, in order to be present at the meeting of the Ca-

"Paris, April 15,1845.
"My dear .Rosamond,—Many days have passed
away, and no news from you! Alas ! I, who do not
partake your blind confidence in men and things, fear
that some accident may hare occurred to you in this
long and painful journey. Have you passed the
frontier without mishaps ? In treading the soil of
Spain, that land in which there is no prison for you,
have you found a little of that careless and sweet
gaiety which your recent catastrophe had so com-
pletely driven from your heart ? Oh, no 1 lam cer-
tain you have not, for I always see you as sad and as
much+in despair as on the evening of that unfortunate
duel.' If I were to live a hundred years I should
always recal to mind your despairing attitude, your
abundant tears ; yes, I shall always see you walking
in agitated and feverish steps before me, repeating
incessantly, with emotion, " They have forced me to
commit homicide !" I did not endeavour to calm
• that grief then, for it was natural, and did you
honour. But now ray riend, let me be permitted to

FLANDERS MAIL

BRUSSELS, OCT. 9.—The Minister of Finance has
concluded a contract with M. Bishopsheim, of Amster-
dam, by which this banker charges himself with
Treasury bonds to the amount of three millions for
six months. This loan will be made at the rate of
V. 4 per cent., without commission.
ANTWERP, OCT. 9.—Last night this town was
thrown into a state of great alarm by a fire, which
broke out in the atelier of M. Hertoghe, a large
builder; his workpeople bad been employed with
candles till eight o'clock, and an hour atter they had
left the premises were examined as usual. At eleven
o'clock, however, the flames burst forth from the
workshops and timber- yard, and although five engines
were speedily on the spot, the whole of the premises
were completely consumed, and the property, except
a small quantity of timbers, completely destroyed.
Several houses, manufactories, and shops in the vi-
cinity have suffered a good deal, among them that
of Mr. Messon, a pen manufacturer, but the very
energetic measures of the firemen, who put themselves
into the greatest bodily peril, and whom it is impos-
sible to speak of too highly, prevented the further
spread of the fire. A number of sailors also were
extremely active. The flames are still smouldering
among the ruins, and it is feared that they will again
bursCforth. Among the objects destroyed are a num-
ber of railway carriages.
HAmnuaan, OCT. Bth.—ln consequence of the
failures in England our merchants hare lost about
150,000,000 of marks banco. At Bremen, one of
the principal houses has been obliged to stop payment,
and the consequences of the money crisis have begun
to manifest themselves in several of the northern
towns.

BRUSSELS, OCT. B.—Five weeks have now elapsed
since the tragical circumstances perpetrated at St.
Guy occurred, and yet nothing has transpired that
could lead to a discovery of the perpetrators.

Suspicions are entertained that the preinafure death
of one of the principal marble cutters of this city,
which took place on the 3d, was caused by poison.
The body was, therefore exhumed at the cemetry
of Lacken yesterday, and will be subjected to a che-
mical analysis.
MUNICH, OCT. 4.—The Chamber of Deputies of
Bavaria have devoted a short sitting to the discussion
and adoption of the project of an address to his Ma-
jesty on the opening of the present session. The
most remarkable portion of the address is that relative
to the new Ministry. The Chamber expresses its
opinion in the following terms :
" The Chamber of Deputies hailed with joy the
new counsellors of the Crown as the mediators of
those ameliorations for which it looks to the Legisla-
tive of the country, and it indulges in the hope of the
speedy developement of those designs which have long
been matured in the mind of your Majesty. Advance
commensurate with the state of the times will
strengthen the authority of the Crown by universal
consent, and will elevate and secure to our country
the exalted position to which she has been called, and
which appertains to her."
On the subject of commerce the Chambers says—
" The dangers which threaten religion and liberty
are the most effectually checked when the authorities
of the State regard it as their chief care to consider
faith and liberty of conscience as sacred.
The Address concluded with such demands as the
Chamber considers itself entitled to make to the
King. The principal of these demands relate to an
extension of the privileges of election, the ministerial
responsibility, the publicity of open Courts, of judicial
debates, liberty of the press, and a modification of
the system and extension of public instruction.
FOREIGN CORN AND HARVEST.

PosEN.—Throughout the whole of this country.
the harvest has now been gathered in, and, with very
few exceptions, is universally rich, both in quality
and quantity. In many places the farms are insuffi-
cient to hold the produce, and it is a truly interesting
sight to see the immense quantities which are made
into stacks. The other products of our fields and
gardens are good. The vegetables and cabbages have
suffered slightly from mildew, nor are our potatoes
so fine as we could have wished, and it is said that in
some districts the disease has again appeared. The
vintage will probably be very fine, and we have a
continuation of fine weather.
ERFURT, OCT. 3.—We had a beautiful sight
here yesterday (Saturday), the 2d. It was a
preparation for the general thanksgiving which takes
place in all our churches to-day, and which were per-
haps never so filled as they are now. Yesterday morn-
ing crowds of persons assembled in the numerous
fields, and were then led by bands of the Legionary
Society to the Dome Church, among the ringing of
the bells from all the churches ; there the members
of the society, who were stationed in various parts of
the church, united in singing a hymn of praise with
a feeling and force which came home to every heart.
Many thousand voices then united in singing that
favourite hymn, " Nun danket alle Gott," in which
all assembled poured out the tribute of a thankful
heart to him who has ro richly blessed our market
and our store, with his unusually abundant harvest.
The solemnity of the service was indeed a prepara-
tion for this Sabbath when our churches are com-
pletely filled. After the service was over, a treat
was given to our orphans and other schoo!s, by taking
them to Dietendorf by the railway, and there giving
them a little feast. In the evening the burghers met
in the hall, where they had a cheerful entertainment.
—Hamburg Mail, Oct. 14.

THE ARISTOCRATIC SMUGGLER.
Start not, gentle reader, at the idea. The laws of
a country are occasionally overstepped by the mem-
bers of every class—aristocrat and democrat alike
commit occasional violations of their boundaries.
The plebeian traveller secretes a small modicum
of tobacco—the titled aristocrat secretes his gal-
lons of spirits. A nobleman residing at Lynd-
hurst, enjoying a foreign ducal title, and of great
wealth whose equipage is daily to be seen in
the streets of Southampton—has just been caught
tripping, and the ruthless myrmidons of Government
have pounced upon him for his offences. The noble-
man in question, we are informed, had recently occa-
sion to dismiss some of the domestics of his establish-
ment, who, in revenge for the conge, communicated
to the authorities matters which had come under their
cognisance in the mansion of their late master, and
which led to the exposure of the delinquencies.
On Saturday last the officers of Customs visited
the ducal residence, and there seized eight half
ankers of brandy, containing about 21 gallons, and a
jar of rum, neatly stowed away in a chest, on which
spirits the accustomed duty had not been paid. The
goods were of course transferred to equally secure,
though probably less secret quarters, at Southampton,
watched over by her Majesty's trusty officials. On
Tuesday an " official" visit was made to his Grace's
yacht, lying at Cowes, which was alike taken posses-
sion of in the name of her _Majesty. So stands the mat-
ter at present. We believe that no further proceed-
ings have yet been taken, though there doubtless soon
will be, as it is believed the " Noble Duke" has ren •
dered himself liable either to the forfeiture of the
yacht, or to the payment of a very heavy bond cus-
tomarily entered into by the owners of yachts, to
abstain from such attempts to evade the revenue laws,
in return for which engagements immunities are given
which are not allowed to vessels of any other descrip-
tion.—Hampshire Independent.
