PRI CESSES.

A drsma, entitled The Dreamer, the scene of which is
laid in the court of Charles 11., was produced here last
evening with success. The dreamer is a certain Lord G.
1)4 wmer (Mr. G. Mathews), a gay young nobleman, who
is unfortunately subject to fits of absence of mind. H 4
is the rival of a certain Count de Florville (Mr. J.
iVining), the love of Lady Clara Bolton (Mrs. Stir
irti4i.i'lle Count concerts a scheme for the abduc-
tion of the lady, who is brought to his house
which, the Dreamer, mistakng for his own, enters,
and, after a quarrel with Florville, meets
Lady Clara, who of course imagines that he is the ab-
ductor, and reproaches him accordingly. This contra-
temps gives, rise to a variety of others, and at last all is
explained, and the lovers made happy. This piece will
form an amusincr addition to the NI L,P,VS' repertoire.

REVIEWS OF TIM WORE.

"The author of title singelar and talented work is a legally quali-

the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
frail,ies of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-

a,.t as a salutary warning to youth an 4 maturity, and by its perusal

LeiceAter, March 21.

The commission for this town and the county were opened
en Friday by Mr. Justice Coltman. There are twelve pri-
soner, f. ir the town, and nineteen for th tcounty. Among the
former is one for murder. a report of which case appears be-
low. In the county calendar the offences charged are com-
paratively trifling.
MunnEn. —Wm. Hubbard was charged with the murder
of his wife on the 11th of August last.
Mr. Hiidvard conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Macauley
the defence.
The prisoner and his wife lived in the borough of Leices-
ter, and had been married three years, anti some time befo:e
her death had been lodging at the house of Elizabeth Huh
b,rd, the prisoner's sister-in-law. The prisoner had been ill
for some time, and in consequence was reduced to a great
state of poverty. On the Thnrsday previous to her death,
the wife, who had expressed an intention of going to Bir-
mingham to her friends for some time, called in a broker to
sell some furniture, and goods were sold to the amount of
one pound. Toe prisoner took a bedstead anti bed away
with him to his father's, where he slept from the Thursday
previous to the murder. It would appear the prisoner
seemed uneasy at the prospect of his wife going away. On
the night before the transaction in question, the prisoner and
his wife were talking together in the entry leading co his
brother's house for three-quarters of an hour. They then
came in 'together ; they appeared to hare been quarrelling.
The prisoner bade them good night and went away. Eliza-
beth Hubbard slept with her husband in the fr,nt room, the
deceased occupied the back, having with her a child of her
sister-in-law anther own. In the morning she got up at an
early hour, went down stairs, and proceeded to light and
blow the fire. Elizabeth Hubbard heard the voice of some
one talking with her; it was a man's voice. Shortly after-
wards the foot of a naan was heard coming up stairs, and to
go down again. The child had been cryir:g previously, but
had ceased, when the same voice, which seemed the pri-
soner's, " It's asleep." There was a scuffling took place,
and the bellows used in blowing the fire was heard to fall, as
if hit down. Prison r's brother and brother's wife got np
and came down in their night-clothes, when they found the
deceased leaning forwards with her hands stretched out, and
blood flowing from her throat copiously. The prisoner was
Ida: ding in a corner of the room. His sister-in-law said,
"Oh, Hill, what have von done?" Ile replied, "I intended
to do it iflgot hnng for it." The prisoner shortly afterwards
let the spot. and was ultimately arrested in a field, at a short
diett,nce off, near the canal. A surgeon was called in. but
the weal= died shortly after rho wound had heed Misted.

_ _
THE GLASGOW HARBOUR. MINERAL
TERMINUS.
_

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
To the eIIAIRMAN.—The width of the basin at the mouth
is 40 feet.. it could be made 55 feet with the present esti-
mate, and he thought it would be wise to make an alteration
in that respect.
This closed the case for the Harbour Mineral scheme.
Mr. Gray, the deputy-chairman of the Clyde River Trust,
was here called, and shortly examined by the Chairman re-
specting the dues to be charged in the Mineral Harbour
Basin. The Mineral Harbour dues were to be charged on
goods, except that the charge on coal was to be hi. per ton
on each bottom, instead of 2d. With this exception the
harbour dues were chargeable independent of the scale of
charges given in schedule A of the Harbour Mineral Bill.
Mr. HILL, on the part of the Grand Junction Harbour
scheme, said it would be a great convenience to him if his
opening statement was put of till to-morrow morning.
The Committee, after some deliberation, assented, and the
promoters of some of the other schemes in the group not
being ready to go on, the Committee adjourned till to-mor-
row at a quarter to twelve.

owner; and Mr. Gregg for the Ardrossan Company.
Mr. TALBOT objected to the admissibility of the
last-named pilition, rs, on the ground that they represented
only two gentlemen, Messrs. Graham and Ferneese, and not
the Ardrossan Railway Company, of which they were only
individual members.

The objection was not persevered in.

SCOTT PORTLAND.

We regret to announce the death of Lieut.-Genera,
Foveaux, which occurred yesterday. The deceased General's
services were of a very useful description, and highly appre-
ciated. From 1789 to 1810 he belonged to the New South
Wales Corps (afterwards the 102 d Regiment); and from
1811 to 1814 he was Inspecting Field Officer at Cork and
Waterford, and subsequently Lieutenant-Governor of Norfolk
Island and Acting-Governor of New South Wales. His com-
missions bear the following dates :—Ensign, 26th May, 17:'

LEGAL CLAIMS OF FIREMEN.— A t Marlborough-
street Police-court, on Saturday, an important question to
housekeepers was disposed of, in reference to the remunera-
tion firemen are entitled to in cases of a false alarm of fire.
Sparks were observed to escape from the chimney of the
Wyndham Clubhouse. St. James's-square, and in a short
time an engine attended, and it was for this attendance com-
pensation was demanded. In answer to the claim the
steward of the club stated that the kitchen was furnished
with a steam engine, and the draft occasioned the sparks to
Hy out of the chimney; but he denied that there was any
occasion for the attendance of the brigade, as no danger was
apprehended by the inhabitants. Mr. Hardwick decided
that the firemen were entitled to compensation in conse-
quence of sparks having been seen, but he left the amount to
be decided by the parish.
THREE CHILDREN RUN OVER.--On Saturday after-
noon an accident occurred in the Strand, which had nearly
involved the lives of three boys. As Dr. Edlington, of
Guildford-street, Russell-square, was proceeding in his car-
riage along the Strand, and had just turned into Craven-
street, where the little fellows ware running in the road, the
horses came so quickly upon them, that before they could
manage to retreat, theg were knocked down and severely
trampled upon. and had it not been for the dexterity of the
driver, the wheels must inevitably have pased over them.
Assisted by a poliee-constable, the worthy doctor placed
them in the carriage, and at once conveyed them to Charing-
cross Hospital, where they were put t bed and prop rly at
tended to by Mr. Wesley, the hornse surgeon. It is no more
than justice i
to 'add, that no blame whatever is attributable
to the servant.

mons had a' Parliamentary dinner on Saturday last, at the

STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 20.—Sales
have been rather on the increase during the past week,
at recent rates, but the amount of business done is still,
notwithstanding, only to a limited extent.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 20.—The
demand for wool during the present week has been much
the same as for some weeks past, and is confined to the
supply of the immediate requirements of the manufac-
turers ; prices are consequently a shade lower.
LEEDS.—We have had very dull markets this week at
our cloth halls. There was very little done either on
Saturday or Tuesday, extent in very low tweeds for the
German markets : fine and middle cloths continue dull
eenfirbmut few buyers in the town
firm, and the stocks are mo-
during the week, and business has, in consequence, been
dull in the warehouses.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY. There prices

this week need only be a mere repetition of that for the
last few weeks. The business done in wools i 3 very
limited, but prices are firm, as the country dealers are
obstinate for present prices. In yarns there is nothing
better doir:g. Nearly all is produced to supply merely
present demand. For plain piece goods the demand is
tolerable, but for fancy pieces there is a miserable trade.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have not
had the least signs of eny improvement in our cloth
market this week ; indeed, the heaviness has, if any-
thing, increased, and prices further receded for most
descriptions of goods. Nothing can well exceed the
prostration of the market, and stocks are accumulating
to an inconvenient extent. Even the richest and the
most wealthy are becoming anxious sellers. The yarn
market is as dull as may be, and we note, if any change
at all, that things are in favour of the buyer.
BARNSLEY.—We cannot report any decided improve-
ment in the linen trade of this town, which has been
very much depressed since the commencement of the
year ; arising, in a great measure, in addition to the
various causes in operation at home, from the unsettled
state of our relations with America.
LEICESTER.—There has been rather a better demand
for manufactured goods for the home trade. Shipping
orders for the American market have been suspended
for the present. Worsted yarns are more in request.
The cotton hosiery branch still continues good, espe-
cially for coloured sorts. Wools are firm ; combing
skins and noils obtain good prices, and farmers' lots
average 305. per tod.—Leieester Journal.

IMPORTANT FRO INDIA.

The Camila Star of the 15th of August has been
received, bringing eight (lays' later date than the
last, and the Delhi Gazette o the 29th of July.
The principal political intelligence is from Lahore,
which will be found subjoined. The commercial
news from Calcutta is gloomy; for the particulars of
which we must refer to the extracts annexed :
(From the Dal Gazette of July 29 )
News reached us last night, giving an account of the
complete failure of the force sent from Lahore under
Misr Bhagwau Sing,b, who had intended making a
night attack, and carrying all b‘fre him. Dewan.
Moolraj, how(:ver, was " wide awake," and having re-
ceived s; c; et information of the plan concerted, he com-
pletely- outruanontvred Lis opponents by turning their
thnks, and having got into their rear, he " opened the
ball" midnight with great activity ; 300 men of the
Durbar art said to he killed er taken isonz,rs, and four
of their guns have also been crTtin ed. Fresh troops
were urgently applied for, and left Lahore to day fir
the scene of action.

(From the Delhi Gazette of August 5.)
We have, since the above w?s written, heard that an
array is to be assembled. It will probably consist of all
the regiments brought up from below to relieve those
now on or beyond the frontier, an I therefore be a very
formidable assemblage. The orders may, we are told,
be expected very soon.
We await further intelligence with anxiety. The
Gazette already announces the formation of two An,glo-
Seilth infantry corps to be raised on the left bank of the
Sutlej, to be called respectively, the regiments of Feroze-
pore and Loodianah.

Warrenpoint, Oct. 6.
Sir,—l returned from Tyrella this morninn, and regret
much to inform you that the Great Britain had ten feet
of water in her hold yesterday morning's tide; and is
now high up on the beach, with her stern about S.E.
We had severe weather on Sunday, and part of yester-
day. I fear now there will be little chance of getting
this fine vessel off the shore.--I am, Sir, respectfully,
your obedient servant,

AN UNWELCOME VlSlTOR.—Yesterday, as some
oxen were being driven along New Tuthill street, West-
minster, one of them mounted the first-floor stairs of No.
24 in that place. Mrs. Lawrence, who resides in that
part of the house, hearing such an unusual noise on the
stairs, inquired who was there, when the answer was
made by the bullock thrusting his head in at the door.
Mrs. Lawrence was dreadfully alarmed ; her right arm
being in splints, her only means of escape appeared to re-
treat as quickly as possible under the bed. Her screams
brought assistance, and, after some trouble, the bullock.
was safely backed down stairs and Mrs. Lawrende re-
leased from her unpleasant situation. Whether the
bullock had been over-driven, did not appear.

LONDON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1846.

Immediately after the triumphant acceptation of
free-trade principles by the Legislature the advocates
for the adoption of some comprehensive and bene-
ficent system of national education appeared to ac-
quire additional vigour, both by numerical reinforce-
ments and by an accession of individual earnestness.
In the moral changes which were thus manifest in
the multitude, the grand characteristic of this age
became more than ever apparent—that characteristic
being none other than the combined struggle of the
more intelligent members of the community for the
moral, intellectual, and social advancement of the
entire population. Having subjugated that monster-
evil Monopoly, by the existence of which the energies
of the agricultural and commercial labourers had been
so long and scr grievously hampered, the popular in-
telligence turned with renewed hope and renovated
strength to the destruction of, if possible, still
greater difficulties. From endeavouring to promote
the corporeal nourishment of the people, we have
reverted to the still loftier endeavour to pro-
mote their spiritual and intellectual nourish-
ment. From striving to eradicate what may
be called the commissariat abuses of the empire,
we are now striving for the eradication of those still
more gigantic and pernicious abuses which have mili-
tated against the morality of nations. We have
struggled to render provisions accessible to all, accord-
ing to the beautiful ordinations of Nature; we are
now struggling to render
.knowledge equally ac-
cessible, and to relieve the mind of the populace
from a domination infinitely more irksome
and productive of immeasurably greater mise-
ries than all the prerogatives of despotism or the
repressive influences of feudality. Our recent triumph
in the former struggle has only imparted a more
hopeful energy to the latter. IVhere tens coalesced
for the emancipation of commerce thousands are now
happily combining for the enfranchisement of the
popular intellect. All the invidious distinctions of class,
all the diversities of political opinion, all the antagonism

THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO
A Romance. By ALEXANDER DUMAS. _

The Count of Monte Christ° ' is amongst the best of Dumas'
works. In abundance and variety of incident it is marvellous. It
unites the wild fancy of the fairy or the Arabian tale with the ar-
tistic individuality of the modern romance. The verisimilitude of
the elaboration is as masterly as the fertility of invention is surprising,
and the descriptions of persons, of accessories, and scenery, are as
vivid as pictures."—Spectator.

LONDON, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 8, 1846.

In the eccentric and melodramatic history of Spain
no incident has ever occurred so marvelously
eccentric and melodramatic as this matrimo-
nial alliance of her two Princesses. Before three
days more have elapsed that double- ceremony may
have been completed. Quietude and indifference may
be apparent in the population during the course of
these proceedings ; but we may, without any
risk of credit in our vaticination, opine that that
tranquillity will prove eminently deceptive. Every cir-
cumstance attendant upon the progress of their Royal
Highnesses of France towards the Peninsular capital
may be remarkable for propriety ; their processional
entrances into the towns upon their route may be
conducted a Ferveille ; youths and damsels in span-
gled satin may dance the fandango awl sorsico under
their windows, as they are reported to have done at
Tolosa ; but, however apparently propitious
may be the accompaniments of this diplomatic
adventure, it is tolerably certain that national
and international rights have been too grievously
violated in its arrangement to permit of any long
continuance to this Spanish quiescence and English
acquiescence. A multitude of powerful objections
have presented themselves to the Montpensier mar-
riages, yet, in open defiance of those objections, the
marriage has been, and is being, hastened forward
with, if possible, double precipitation. Has Queen
ISABELLA any dislike to the betrothals ? She
is closeted' with her Afrancesado Ministers
till past midnight ; her tears and antipathies
are disregarded, she is stormed into sub-
mission by reiterated entreaties, and implacable argu-
ments. Do the stipulations of the treaty of -Utrecht
present any obstacles ? They are whispered away
by the Cabinet of Versailles. Are the Spaniards
disposed to repel the Orleans proposition ? Their peti-
tions are seized by the gensdarmerie, and intimidation is
employed where remonstrance proves inefficient. Does
the Madrid press evince any ability or courage in expos-
ing the chicaneries of the Count DE BRESBON and Senor
IsTuarrz ? The morning journals are denounced,
prosecuted, and fined. Has the Cabinet of St. James,'
through its representatives, protested against the
projected alliance? Its protests are treated first with
supercilious contempt, and then with protracted
silence. Such has been the recent policy of the
French Government; and while we must acknow-
ledge that it is calculated to render them
winners in regard to this immediate game
of diplomacy, we must, nevertheless, declare
that it places their whole future fortunes in jeopardy.

THE EIITERPEON SOCIETY.—On Tuesday night the
members of the Euterpeon Society gave a musical enter-
tainment at the City Lecture Theatre, comprising Handers
beautiful serenata " Acis and Galatea," and a selection
of miscellaneous music. The former of these was in
itself an ample amusement ; it is crowded with melo-
dies, simple, and unaccompanied with distracting noise.
In addition to this, the story of the two unfortunate
lovers, and the elegant poetry in which their love and
sorrow is recounted, combine to make a deep and last-
ing impression on the minds of the hearers. The music
was last night extremely well given, by the Misses
Turner, E. Turner and Lacy ; Messrs. Key, Renny,
Leffler, Lowick, and an efficient band and chorus, under
the direction of Mr. W. Blagrove and Mr. Holderness.
Theserenata commenced with the overture, which was fol-
lowed by all the principal parts in it. The,pi.e.ocesl c.‘undudsiehr,
ye pretty warbling, choir,' Miss Turner
"Love ner
sounds the
than the cherry,' Mr. Leffler ;
alarm," Mr. Kenny,; chorus,"GMlattterz
dryall
thyye tears,"
" Must I, my Acis ; ' chorus::
, "Galatea,
&c., were sung with much ease and effect. Among the
principal portions of the miscellaneous music were, song,
"Coming through the rye," Miss Lacy ; song, " There
is a flower that bloometb," Mr. Leffler ; glee, " Here, in
cool grot," chorus, " The tiger couches," &c., which were
also well given. The theatre was well attended by a
very respectable audience, who testified their satisfaction
by frequent bursts of applause throughout.
A young English widow, named Wilson, was ar-
rested, on Saturday, for an attempt to take the life of
Thomas Ratten, who is employed in an organ factory in
Centre street. For two years he had been attentive to
her, but about Christmas last he suddenly became cool,
and was married to a young lady. Since that Mrs. W.
has become nearly frantic, and on Saturday, repairing to
his place of work, drew a pistol and pointed it at his
head, when he knocked her down and had her taken to
the Tombs. She has steadily refused all sustenance
since her arrest, and appears, as she doubtless is, dread-
fully excited.—New York Courier and Enquirer, Sept.l4.

YPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy,
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots till the latest period of life. Price 3s. 6d., 65.. and 10s.
per bottle.

CALCUTTA MONEY MARKET, AUG. 15.

The Money Market is still easy, and transactions of
safe character command assistance at current bank and
bazaar rates • but within the last three or four days the
market has been rather dull, and there has been demand
for accommodation ; the outward remittances from home
have been limited, and accounts from the up country
marts are not quite so favourable ars before ; the follow-
ing shows market value of bullion and foreign coin and
the rates of banking transactions ; in the latter we have
no alteration from former quotation to report.
GOVERNMENT LOANS.—The value of these investments

has generally declined, indicative of a change in the dis-
' position of the money market; the premium on Stock
paper has fallen Rs. 2 per cent.; paper of the second
five per cent. loans, to sell is 8 annas per cent. lower,
but to buy one rupee per cent. higher ; of the third five
to sell 4 annas per cent. higher, and to buy 4 annas per
cent. lower ; paper of the new five per cent. has declined
4 annas per cent.; the discounts on four per cent. paper
have increased, on the old 12 annas to Rs. 1 4, and on
the new 4 annas per cent.
BANK SuArtEs.—The value of these investments like-
wise exhibits decline ; shares of the Bengal Bank are
25 rs., and of the Union 15 rs. per share lower than the
quotations in our issue of the 7th instant ; shares of
other banks are without alteration.

The operations of the Bengal Bank for the last month
(July) are reported equal to 15-2-23- rs. per cent. per
annum.

EXCHANGE MARKET.—The transactions by the mail
of the 7th instant, in bills at 10 months' date, ruled
chiefly at 2s. 04(1. to 24.01 d. per rupee, but immediately
after the exchange advanced to 2s. 1 Id. per rupee ;
within the last two or three days, however, rates have
retrograded, and some unexceptionable bills have been
taken at 2s. Oid. per rupee ; it is probable that the
anxiety to avail of decidedly good paper for to-day's mail
has occasioned the recession on the exchange ; at present
transactions rate at 2s. Oid. to 2s. Oid. per rupee, ac-
cording to the character of paper.
FREIGHTS.—The rates of homeward freightage con-
tinued steady at our last quotations to within the last two
or three days, when a sudden advance of ss, to los. per
ton took place. At present but a smnll amount of ton-
nage for London is available, and it is probable that en-
gagements to'sail before the approaching holidays may
command ss. per ton advance upon reported rates ;
freightage to the Mauritius has declined, the accounts
from thence show a fall in the prices of grain.
London, England, 1846-10-08

RAILWAY LOANS.

It is announced this evening that Government have
determined to divide all applications for loans for rail-
way purposes under three heads, including-
1. Incorporated companies entitled to borrow, by the
amount of their paid-up capital ,• these are to be referred
for loans to the Exchequer-bill Commissioners.
2. Incorporated companies not so entitled ; to these
loans are to be given under the Relief Act, if sums have
been presented for them by the baronies—the loans to
be secured on such presentments.
3. Companies not incorporated, but for which present-
ments have been made ; such cases are to be referred to
the Railway board.
It is not unlikely that considerable mischief will be in-
flicted upon existing railway property by those proceed-
ings. The slowness and incapacity of the directors of
some of the working companies, combined with the rash
Imbecility of the Government, afford good promise of
mischief.
DUBLIN, OCT. 6.—Another serious affray has taken
place—the result of the fearful distress which afflicts the
peasantry. This, unhappily has proved fatal to one man,
and another is in great danger. The following is an
account given in the evening papers:—
" LIMERICK, OCT. s.—Last night a private of the i3Bth
regiment and a civilian, named Gleeson, were shot dead
e.t Castleconnel, within six miles of this city, during a
riotous attack on the constabulary barrack, when the
windows were broken. A draft of the 88th, from Birr,
en route, was billetted in the town. Colonel Maunsell,
Assistant-Adjutant General, left Limerick this morning,
to irapire into the circumstances of the untoward event.
The official account of the above affair differs from the
foregoing, by saying ' the soldier is not dead.' In every
other particular it agrees with the brief narrative of our
correspond en t."—Packet.
"FATAL AFFRAY AT CASTLECONNELL.--We (Post)
deeply regret to announce that a serious and fatal affray
took place in Castleconnell, county Limerick, on Sunday
last, between a party of the 88th regiment en route to
Cork, to embark for the Mediterranean, and the consta-
bulary, whose barrack the soldiers attacked. One coun-
tryman in the crowd was killed, and a soldier was mor-
tally wounded. These are the only authentic particulars
yet received."
