curred to the Emperor of Russia, at liiow, in Poland,
upon the high road between St. Petersburgh and War-
saw. The Emperor was on his route to Warsaw, and
had arrived at the border of the large river at that
place, where there is no bridge. A temporary platformhad been con:tructed to run the Emperor's travelling
carriage into the Thrry-boat, when by some accident the
platform broke down, and the carriage was precipitated
into the water. The Emperor, with Count Orloff, who
was also in the carriage, was obliged to escape from the
windows and wade up to his middle in the water, and as
the current was running very strongly and the river full
of ice, no little danger was incurred.
So much time was lost, that the Emperor, who had
arranged to be by a certain day at St. Petersburgh,
was obliged to renounce altogether his visit to War-
saw, and to turn back immediately to the Russian
capital.

The river at Kiow is nearly half an English mile i❑
width, and the erection of a suspension bridge, which
has long been contemplated, will no doubt be now imme-
diately decided on, especially as the Emperor was unable
last year, on his journey to Warsaw, to pass the river at
Kiow.

SECOND COURT-MARTIAL AT CHATHAM, DEC.
24.—Immediately after the COURT-MARTIAL,
had assembled this
morning, Lieutenant Grant commenced reading his de-
fence. He did not mean, he said, in his general- plea of
not guilty, to deny the facts ; but he submitted that he
had not acted contrary to military discipline, and quoted
the case of Lieutenant-Colonel Hogg, of the 55th regi-
ment of Foot, in 1819, at Plymouth, as a case in point.
He dwelt much upon the testimony of Lieutenant Chads,
to show that at the time Captain Bull
was the actual
officer in command. He assured the Court he had been
influenced in what he had done by feelings of a desire to
do good ; and he trusted the Court would not fix him
him with wilful disobedience of lawful orders. He then
called upon the Deputy Judge Advocate, the Hon. Capt.
Gordon, to produce the correspondence with the Acting
Town-Major ;at the Cape; after which, ;Assistant-Sur-
geon Jackson v, as recalled by the Court to speak to what
transpired on the poop of the Mary Anne on the morn-
ing of the 10th of July, relative to the prisoner's hesitat-
ing to obey Major Shadforth's orders. This witness's
testimony finished the proceeding, And the Court broke
up. The sentence, of course, cannot be known until con-
firmed by her Majesty.
RAMSGATE.—From the many families of distinction
at'present sojourning here, it is clear that Ramsgate has
become a favourite winter residence. Perhaps scarcely
at any place in the kingdom is this season and its at-
tendant festivities better or more worthily observed ;
and it is satisfactory to find that the poor are not for-
gotten. We are informed by a credible authority that
the value of the beef distributed among the poorer
classes of Ramsgate during this week alone will amount
to between 2001. and 3001.—.Kentish Observer.

MADAME ANNA BISHOP.

In the last number of the Musical World a narrative is
g
given of the career of Madame Bishop abroad, evidently
from authentic sources, by which it would ap-
pear that every circumstance of her professional life, be-
tween the years 1839 and 1846, has been attended with
reputation and distinction of the most brilliant and un-
precedented kind—that the potentates of Europe have
vied with each other in heaping honours upon her, not
only in oral eulogies, lid in gifts of excess:ve value. Her
successes, indeed, on the Continent, if the record doth
not " protest too much"—and, having last night heard
her, we do not believe that it does—have never been
equalled by any English singer ; and, so far as the
recognisance of our own native talent is concerned, we
are glad that, in these sorry times of its manifestation, a
special instance of intellectual and practical merit has not
been overlooked. A note or two borrowed from the
memoir alluded to may at this moment not be
without interest ; Madame Bishop was the Miss
Riviere who, in 1838, was one of the best and most pro-
mising pupils of the Royal Academy of Music, singing
with applause at the Ancient and Philharmonic Concerts,
and also at the principal festivals. After this, influenced
by the suggestions of the present Earl of Westmorland,
she commenced the study of operatic musio of the
Italian school, with a view to an experiment on the
stage, and in 1839, at a dramatic concert given by
Bochsa at the Opera House, she sang selections from
Rossini's Tuncredi and Gazza Ladra in character,
with credit and success. In the latter part of the same
year she went over to Copenhagen, where she gave ten
concerts under the patronage of the court, netting during
her three months' residence in Denmark upwards
of 12,000 thalers. In 1840 she traversed Sweden,
and divided with Jenny Lind, then, as now, the

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1846.

We are rejoiced to observe that Mr. O'CONNELL
coincides with ourselves in congratulating his coun-
trymen upon the bold and almost chivalrous determi-
nation of Lord BESBOROUGII. The letter from the
Liberator, read according to invariable custom at the
last weekly meeting of the Repeal Association, and
which epistle is published in another portion of our
journal, is of a most consolatory and inspiriting cha-
racter. It is consolatory, inasmuch as it forms the
direct negation of every lugubrious and despairing
lamentation as to the prospects of Ireland during the
approaching winter, and the indulgence of which
despondency has already produced insurrections and
bloodshed among the starving peasantry. It is in-
spiriting, because it is illumined by hope and nerved
with confidence. One reflection consequent upon the
recent decision of the Lord-Lieutenant to act upon
his own responsibility, without waiting for the tedious
assistance of Parliament, is most obvious and most
encouraging—namely, that having adventured so far,
Lord BESBOEOUGLI will, if merely for the sake of
his own reputation and of consistency, proceed still
further, supposing such should prove advisable by the
extension of the scarcity.
Having assumed the necessary dictatorship, accord-
ing to the Hon. Member for Cork, the noble representa-
tive of Queen VICTORIA will never from mere trepi-
dation relax in his generous and courageous efforts at
amelioration. In plain language, the Irish may look
with confidence to the Lord-Lieutenant's further in-
terposition in their behalf, on the homely principle of
"in for a penny in for a pound." Parliament may
Not grant him an indemnity fur his resolution to fore-
stall its delegation to him of more extended powers ;
the senators of tae people possess the capacity for so
dotngunquestionably, but no sane individual has the
temerity to imagine for-a single moment that the
sagacity and intrepidity of his Excellencly will be so
ungratefully recompensed. There is a hazard of
being refused the requisite Parliamentary imeinnity' •
there is a very improbable possibility of the legislators
regarding this proceeding, on the part of Lord BES-
BOROUGH, as a needless infringement upon their
authority, but that such will actually be the case
upon the re-assembling of our representatives in St.
Stephen's, is one of the least likely occurrences in the
forthcoming session. Every reflective inhabitant of

DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, OCT. ' B.—The tables giving the result I
of our foreign trade during the first eight months of this
year, by comparing them those of last year, show
that there is a very considerable decrease in the prin-
cipal articles of our imports and exports.
Of the 27 principal articles of importation there is a
decrease on 19, and an increase on 8 only.
The list of exports consists of 30 article!, of which 21
are below those of last year ; 9 only show an increase.
While 9 articles on the list of exportation amounted in
the first eight months of 1845 to Kil. 37,539,606

The Association for Freedom of Commerce will meet
on Sunday next.
There is at Liege, as at Brussels, an association for
free trade, which was to meet yesterday. According to
the Liberal Lugeois, the following were the subjects of
discussion :—To express a wish that the legislation
would immediately proceed. 1. To the definitive abro-
gation of the import duties on articles of food, which are
at present suspended by the law passed in July, 1845,
leaving to the executive power the faculty to restrict or
suppress exportation during the time that existing cir-
cumstances shall require it. 2. To the report of the
Post-office, by the adoption of a rate of one decime for
all single letters, whatever be the distance, their origin
and destination, and for the conveyance of articles of
silver at a rate of one-half per cent. 3. To the immediate
suppression of differential duties on the importatton of
merchandise, brought by sea or by the inland naviga-
tion, whatever be their origin, and under whatever flag.
The tame society mean to propose to the associationim-
mediately to study the question of Flanders, and an in-
quiry into the best remedies for the increase of
pauperism.

(From the Landon New Price Current of October 13.)
SUGAR.--TO .day there was a large business transacted in
West India Muscovado Sugar for the scale and pan, but
merchants were compelled to recept former rates by private
contract, even for the better kinds of yellow, as the supply is
on the increase of all qualities ; at auction 125 hhds Barba-
does sold at the full value.

REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were sold to a fair ex-
tent for home consumption, brown lumps according to qua-
lity at Gls to 635, and standard lumps at 63s 6d to 64s per
cwt, but at these rates the refiners are desirous to sell.
Crushed sugar for exportation is little wanted, and 33s is the
value of first quality.
MAURITIUS.—For bright grocery descriptions a good de-
mand has been experienced, and the parcels disposed of pri-
vately were at previous rates, but inferior grey and brown
kinds have been sparingly dealt in, although there are
sellers upon previous reduced terms, and of these the supply
yet chiefly consists. This afternoon at public sale 563 bags
Mauritius were sold at the full worth.

FOREIGN.—This afternoon at public sale 7 chests of white
Bahia, duty paid, sold at 49s for middling, and 5 chests of
brown at 40s 6d for low quality.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the public sales of Bengal
Sugar consisted of 2,900 bags white Benares ;,the whole
sold at th. former value, but not above. Of Madras 6,585
bags were offered—brown and yellow sorts sold at rather
lower rates, but strong yellow kinds fetched the full worth.
COFFER..—This afternoon, of Native Ceylon, 1,208 bags
were offered at public sale; there was more desire manifested
to operate, and the whole sold at rather better prices—good
ordinary yellowish bringing 38s to 38s 6d, very good ordinary
395, sea damaged first class 37s to 37s Gd, second class 35s to
35s 6d, and third class 33s 6d to 345. 798 bags of Planta-

MOLASSES. —For West India there has been an extensive
demand, and the market has been nearly cleared of all sorts
at rather higher rates. The quantity sold has been 1,200

is wanted, but little is to be had; the value of Bally libel
is 22s to 22s 6d.

• •
that the next advices from the other side of the Atlantic
will inform us of a further important in quotations
Owing to the boisterous state of the weather during the
greater part of the week, our usual advices from the north
of Europe had not come to hand up to a late hour this after-
noon. The latest accounts, therefore, which we have from
Dantzic only reach to the 29th of September. The English
advices of the 22d and 23d•ult. had caused much excitement
there, and for the best qualities of high-mixed Whc at prices
had risen to 555. to 575. per qr. free on
.board; whilst for
secondary sorts from 50s. to 535. per qr. had been paid.
Within a day or two at least 5,000 qrs. had changed
hands. All other kinds of grain had been held at ma-
terially enhanced terms, say making haley it 40s. to
445., arid boiling peas at 40e. to 41s. per qr.; but there
bad been very little doing in either of the last-named
articles.

From the Lower Baltic ports the accounts are of a
similar character ; and it is abundantly, evident that to
secure supplies from the northern countries of Europe
we shall have to pay very high prices.
From Hamburg we have letters of the 2d inst. Ep
corn appears to have excited more attention at that port
than wheat, but for moderately good qualities of red
marks 51s. to 525. per quarter, Lee on board, had been
firmly insisted on. The inquiry for barley had been
active, but owing to the extravagant prices asked (say
335. per quarter for good Saale), few bargains had been
closed. Oats, to be shipped from Denmark, had sold
freely at 21s. to 21s. 9d. per quarter free on board, weight
per bushel varying from 37i lbs. to 39 lbs.
In Holland wheat seems also to have further risen in
value ; and we learn from Rotterdam that, on the 6th
instant, good qualities of white were worth 58s. to 61s.
per quarter. These rates, it will be remarked, do not
admit of shipments being made from hence with a
prospect of profit, but they are sufficiently high to
cause the Baltic shippers to give the Dutch markets a
preference.

From the Mediterranean the reports are of much the
same character as before; prices of both wheat and
Indian corn were rapidly rising at all the leading ports,
owing as much to the fear of local distress in conse.
quence of the scarcity of provisions as to the exciting
nature of the English advices.

Since writing the above, the Hamburgh mail of Tues-
day has arrived, bringing advices of corresponding dates
from the Baltic, by which it appears that a further ad-
vance has taken place in the price of wheat at all the
principal markets.-111ark-lane Express.
London, England, 1846-10-14

SALTPETRE.—Rough has been more sought after, but
business of moment s as preTeuted privately by stiffer rates
being asked, and 1,105 Lags at puhtic sale of tJcleutta were
taken in at 23s Gil for common grey sm;X chr:rstal, 10 to
71.;i per cent. refraction, being fully 61 above toe value. For
English Relined the demand has been active, and prices are
firm at 20s 6:1 to 30s. Nitrate of Soda is little wanted, and
can be obtained at 16s to 16s 6d per cwt.
TALLmv.—The home trade are still esgor purchasers of
Russian on the spot, and in consequence of arrivals keeping
small, the stock being much less than it was at this time
last year, the deliveries being on the increase, and the quan-
tity between here and St. Petersburgh only 8,000 casks, a
further advance in the value has taken place, fine new P. Y.
Candle bringing 47s to 47s 6d per cwt. For forward delivery
the operations have been upon a large scale, and at stiffer
rates. For home made prices may be considered as mode-
rate; the supply is less than it was. All other kinds have
been much in request, and prices are still rising.
Oms.—The market for Seal Oil has an improving appear-
ance; large purchases have been made, and further ad-
vanced rates are paid. None has been offered at auction.
Holders o: Cod accepting 261 10s, occasioned a good
busines to be transacted privately, but the supply is on
the increase. Southern has been purchased with increased
freedom, and the parcels sold privately were at rather
higher rates. Sperm has been taken with more
freedom, r.nd prices have improved lOs to 20s per tun ; se-
veral parcels were disposed of privately. The arrivals of
Oils have not been of much consequence since last Tuesday,
but a further incrersl has taken place in the deliveries Mr
home consumptin. Cocoa Nut is much wanted, and the
parcels sold by private contract were at stif rates. Palm
has been largely dealt in privately. In llap2sced Oil a good
deal has been done. Olive has been in excellent request,
and prices are very firm.

LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1846.

The intelligence just received from India, in anti•
cipation of the Overland Mail, and which affords us
news from Bombay to
,the 18th of July, inclusively,
is of a most calamitous character. Although we have
occasion to rejoice over the tranquillity of our pos-
sessions in Asia, we are unhappily compelled to
mourn over the calamities which hate befallen our
countrymen and the unfortunate natives in those ter-
ritories. Sinde appears to have been again afflicted
with the diseases which have hitherto devastated its
provinces by a triennial visitation. Cholera has re-
cently carried off somewhere about 8,490 souls,
including natives, sepoys, and Europeans, at Kurra-
chee. Fever of a malignant kind has likewise car-
ried death among the soldiers stationed at Sukkur.
With the exception, however, of these calamitous
circumstances, the position of the British forces in
the East is exceedingly gratifying. The utmost
tranquillity prevails throughout the Punjaub
and the adjacent countries ; and, although the
mortality and pecuniary disbursements justify the
lamentations of the Bombay Times, it is impossible
not to look with satisfaction at the events which have
recently transpired in British India. However much
the consequences of those occurrences may be cause
for regret, however much we may sorrow over the
sacrifice of life and of specie which they involved,
their ulterior result cannot but affbrd us consolation.
Icor do we reason upon that pernicious principle of a
vile means being justified by a beneficent end; we
of course abhor that dogma as not merely contra-
distinguished from all legislative generosity, but as
totally opposed to the dictates of every prudential
sentiment. Our exultation over the deeds which have
recently illustrated Asiatic history is:altogether nega-
tive : we are satisfied with what has there transpired,
simply because the result of that bloodshed and rapine
muet, in all human likelihood, prevent greater blood-
shed and more grievous rapine at a subsequent
reriod. The victories on the Sutlej, though more
sanguimeiry than the defeats in Caubul, afford infinitely
greater reason for the reioicings of the lovers of
humanity—not because the English standards were
t riumphant—not because Oriental warriors were
vanquished—but because in the former case may be
i,3coghised a more solid guarantee of the future tran-
quillity of those regions, and of the less probability
of ;farther hostilities and more extended carnage.
There w:l3, undoubtedly, a smaller loss of life at
Caubul, in proportion to the number of conflicts and
of combatants, than in such engagements as the;
battle of Ferozeshah and the victory of Sobraon
but with the lesser bloodshed of Caubul there vas the
greater probability of future disturbances, while with
the greater bloodshed of the Sutlej there was the
lesser probability of subsequent massacres.

The information received from Caubul is of so ex-
traordinary and extravagant a kind, it is so distorted
by improbOilities, and so coloured by romantic de-

'LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1a46.

As might readily have been anticipated, the ru-
mours in circulation respecting the intended in ar-
riage of Queen ISABELLA are of the most conflict 'ng
character. Within the precincts of Madrid, and
throughout several of the Spanish provinces, a gene ral
sentiment of satisfaction is expressed at her N
JESTY'S espousal with Don FRANCISCO D'ASSIS : and,
despite several malcontents, whose views were favour-
able to the cause of other and now rejected sui tors,
the population generally evince pleasure at the uLti-
mate settlement of this protracted and difficult ques-
tion. According to the Herald° the illustrious coup le
will be united on the approaching 10th of October, a
day rather propitious for the august ceremonial,
seeing that it is the anniversary of ISABELLA SE-
GUNDA'S birth. By this arrangement those in-
dividuals who were disposed to advocate an UID
tural intermarriage between her MAJESTY and :her
MAJESTY'S uncle, the Count TRAPANI, are involv ed
in paroxysms of disappointment. While others nlore
inclined to uphold the cause of the younger brctl ler
of the Duke DE CADIZ, the liberal-minded :and
courageous Don ENRIQUE, are chagrined at the
selection of the less enlightened Don FRANCIS co.
Circumstances there may be undoubtedly to
miti-
gate the pleasure derived from the conclusion of so pre-
carious and harassing a question as this one of the
Spanish marriage—the cause of so many intes Elia]
contentions and of so much unnecessary diplon w cy.
A consort combining more brilliant endowments,
with more generous and independent principles, might
unquestionably have been discovered; the exigencle s of
the Spanish nation, and the still greater exigencies of
the nineteenth century, might have been more ad-
vantageously met in the person of a Prince wit,` a
character directly the antithesis of that for which ;the
fortunate aspirant is said to be so unfortunately 7e.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

S "U
....... - -....,-,.......--

FARNHAM.—The expectation that was expressed a
few weeks back, that there was likely to be a crop of
hops at this superior hop-growing place, has been very
fully realised; the picking has now become general,
and has proved their high condition in the pickers' binns.
There has scarcely ever been a more rapid growing
period, unless we may name the year 1826, when the
Hants collection, of which Farnham forms the principal
amount, reached 14,6501. old duty; if it should reach
10,0001. this year, it would be considered high, seeing
that the average of the last seven years has been much
under this amount. It is only during the last month
that they have done such wonders, yet there are
many drawbacks to a great district crop, for many
of the villages around are very deficient. We are
happy to see the very great recovery made made in
those of Oldham, for these were struck very hard by
attack of aphides. Many of the grounds hang in a luxu-
riant and most picturesque manner, forming vistas, al-
coves, avenues, &c., ornamented with festoons of golden-
coloured hop strobiles feathered to the ground, the
lateral shoots being generally well clothed ; although
there are many instances where these side shoots are
much more backward in their growth than they are at
the top of the poles. In some instances there will be
complete hops at the top, and the lateral shoots will have
the blossom only just formed, this being the effect of
the very congenial weather we have lately had. A lux-
uriant growth has been noticed at Bentley, at Lower
Froyle, Alton, Hartley, and other places, where pains
have been taken to give the proper food at seasonable
times. It is now very well known of what consists the
bine and what the fruit; it is therefore the business of
the cultivator to add the constituents wherever the crop
is found to be deficient. On this head we are assisted
by the analysis made by Mr. S. Nesbit (see " Journal
of the Royal Agricultural Society," last number). From
this we may learn that by far the principal mineral in-
gredients removed from the land, when the bine and the
hops are all taken away, consists of 53 parts out of every
72 of phosphate of lime, and silicate of potash and soda.
The picking, which commenced at Lower Froyle on the
19th of August, was nearly a month earlier than it was
last year. It is expected that some most excellent
samples will be the result of this early picking, for they
are in fine condition, and those that aro allowed to hang
the longest are likely to be of the most pungent bitter,
particularly if there are ample male plants around or
amongst them.—Hampshire Independent.

THE MANSION HOUSE COMMITTEE.'

The above Committee.met this day, Lord Cloncurry
in the chair. The following members also attended :
Mr. O'Connell, M.P. ; Very Rev. Dr. Flanagan, Peirce
Mahony, John O'Donoghue, Alderman Gardiner,
Thomas Gresham, Dr. Gray, and John Classon.
The resolution adopted at the Music-hall, on Thurs-
day, having been brought before the notice of the meet-
ing, Mr. O'Connell proposed the following resolution:—
" That the Labour Rate Act, having only just come
into operation, and the Government appearing to be
conscious of the existing distress and impending famine,
this Committee deem it right to wait, which they do in
confident hope, the result of the Government measures
under the Act of Parliament : with the determination to
take such active steps as they possibly can, should occa-
sion require or should the statute not be sufficiently effi-
cacious for the emergency."
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
ADDRESSES TO LORD BESBOROUGH..
This day addresses were presented to his Excellency
the Earl of Beshorough, from the city of Waterford, the
corporation of Waterford, and the town of Clonmel. The
addresses from Waterford were read by the Mayor,
Sir Benjamin Morris Wall, and the Town Clerk of
Waterford ; that from Clonmel was read by the Mayor,
Mr. Bianconi.

When the deputation from Waterford had withdrawn,
his Excellency conferred the honour of a private inter-
view upon the Right Rev. Dr. Foran, who formed one of
the deputation.

Opium—The price has latterly somewhat given way,

Wool—There is no Khorassan or Mekran wool now
in the market. We quote Marwar at 100 to 105 rupees
per candy, and Cutch at 120 rupees, the small parcel of
the latter at present here being of superior quality.
Senna Leaves—Some purchases of Senna have been
made at 6 rupees per cwt., but the article is of an infe-

In other articles of Eastern produce we have heard of
no transaction, but some variations in price will, on re-

in them. These, however, it is unnecessary particularly

belly, than: fifteen. But it should be borne in mind
that two competitors are already gone, namely,
Pyrrhus and Mount Callan. In the meantime
each party will cling to its favourite, until
they get their eyes completely open. The friends
of the Traverser are perfectly justified in doing so, if, as
appears to be generally believed, he is really the best
horse in Dawson's lot; because, supposing that such is
the case, the trainer in question, with his undoubted
experience, certainly possesses the means of forming a
correct judgment of the powers and capabilities of the
Traverser. Who, indeed, can form a more accurate one
than himself ?

On the other hand, however, regard will be paid to
Sir Tatton Sykes, and to Brocardo, and to lago, as well
as to the Traverser; and with very good reasons, too,
without putting aside one or two more, which need not
be particularly enumerated at the present moment.
" Well 1" the reader will probably ask, " but what's
to win?"—a question, indeed, which is heard on all
hands and in all quarters—not disregarding the nume-
rous " sweeps," which certainly increase the interest
with respect to the decision on the eventful day of trial.
Without keeping the name in " lavender," or smother-
ing it in " rose leaves,* or hurling it " hissing hot, like
a horse-shoe;" it is apparent that some sanguine parties
will require consolation under adverse circumstances ;
and it is a pity that Pylades should be deprived of the
comfort of his Orestes. Seven days must steep them-
selvt s in night, as the great poet has it; and seven nights
must dream away the time—and, till then, can the reader
keep a secret? So can
