Sr. PETERSBURGH, &far. 3.—From the scene of
war in the Caucasus, the following intelligence has
been received at Kawkas

" Opposite the camp of the Tschetsenken, detachments
which had taken up its position on the right bank of the
Argun, near the fortress of Wosdwischenskoje, the
enemy planted their cannon in order to bombard our
camp. Although the shots effected comparatively little
danger at a distance of nearly 600 fathoms, the Com-
mander-in-Chief; with a view of intimidating the enemy,
and at the same time, by way of experiment, ceased a
mine to be laid on under the place where the enemy's
artillery was stationed, and a little further on a fougade.
Six days after the mine had been laid on, the enemy
recommenced their fire from Kurgan ; after the third
shot the train was set on fire, the mine was sprung, and
the field pieces and men were thrown up in the air. In
a moment the fougade overwhelmed the terrified enemy
with a shower of stones. Many of the enemy were
killed and wounded by the stones ; among others the
Naib Talgik."

On the 31st of August there were 380 cholera
patients under treatment in St. Petersburgh in the
course of the day; 22 recovered, and 36 died. On
the lit of September there were only 345 patients
under treatment.

THE NOVVICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL—This festival
commenced on W ee.:;,'e.S:l2 morning, and the grand MussHall was crowded. Sphor's sacreel Cl,ntata "The Chris
tian's Prayer" was admirably given by the Wil-
liams, Mr. Lockey, and Mr. Whitworth. Mademoisel:e
Alboni sang Cherubim's air U Salutaris Hostes,
with exquisite taste, and Lablache was magnifieent
in a grand scene from the oratorio La Passione de Gesu
Cristo, by Paesiello. The great performance of the
day, however, was the great scena from Handers
Jeptha, " Deeper and deeper still," by Mr. Sims
Reeves. It was equal to Brabam in his very
best days. Madame Castellan, Madame Viardot,
auci Heury were also most successful. The
oratorio of the Creation was performed in the
course :of the morning with immense effect, and was
followed by a selection of miscellaneous music. The
great feature of the second morning performance, which
took place yesterday, was the oratorio of Elijah, which
1;61 ulagigaoeutly performed.

rines, with a portion of the above regiment, were
left to take care of Waterford. A company of Royal
Marines immediately occupied each barrack, which are
in their character similar to small forts. A captain
and sixty men also were in the Court-house, and the
defence of the bridge was confided to a captain and
forty men of that corps. The presence of a small
steamer, with a light draught of water, would have been
a most valuable auxiliary above bridge, to check the
advance of any hostile party on the city.—Herald.

Cuckoo steam-vessel, at Portsmouth, and Frederick
Stupart (1840), of the Spider packet, i❑ the River Plate,
to the rank of surgeon.
Clerk—W. W. Parminter, of the Juno frigate, in the
Pacific, to the rank of paymaster and purser.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING.—The battle cf
Glenbower was even a more despicable affair, i❑ a
military point of view, than that of Ballingarry. It
appears that the police barrack at the former place
was attacked by about 100 men—the few con-
stables who had charge of it retired towards Carrick.
Before they were able to remove their clothes the
insurgents pounced upon them, and carried them off
as trophies. The chiefs immediately arrayed them-
selves in the boats, shirts, and other articles, not
showing exactly from what source they were de-
rived. The list of casualties on one side appears to
be—two insurgents shot dead, five or six wounded,
and several prisoners. One policeman is reported
wounded.

PRUSSIA.

The Ministerial crisis still continues. In the sit-
ting of the Assembly, of the 11th inst., the President,
AIIERSWALD, opened with a declaration relative to
the sitting of the 7th, in consequence of which the
Members have requested his MAJESTY to accept their
resignation.

The PRESIDENT then read his MAJESTY'S reply,
which is as follows :
" I fully concur in the views expressed by you in
your report of the 9th of this month, that unless the
principles therein laid down be maintained, the consti-
tutional monarchy cannot exist. I shall, nevertheless,
accord to you upon the grounds which you have stated
your desired dismission from office. Until the formation
of a new Ministry, you will have to continue your office.
(Signed) "FREDERICK WILLIAM.
(Countersigned) "VON AUERSWALD.
"Sans Souci, Sept. 16, 1848."
"To all the Members of the Cabinet Council."
The PRESIDBNT continued, "I have further to inform
you that the deputy of the German National As-
sembly, M. VON BECKERATII, has been summoned to
his MAJESTY, and I request the Assembly to suspend
their sittings fora definite period."
The report of the 9th, alluded to in the above reply
of the KING, is the official report in which the Minis-
ters tender their resignation, and in which they pro-
test the necessity of upholding the principle v6hich
they advocated in the National Assembly, viz., "that
the right to decree administrative measures does not
belong to that Assembly." Construing the adverse
vote of the National Assembly as an obvious want of
confidence, the Ministers despair of the possibility of
maintaining this principle, and ask, on that plea, for
their dismissal.

There have been some trifling disturbances at Mete
and at Cologne between the citizens and the military.
According to the Allgemeine Zeitung, M. HANSE-
MANN is suffering from an attack of cholera.

HESSE-HOMBURG.
The Landgrave GUSTAVUS of Hesse- Homburg died

NAND has undertaken the Government provisionally.

BURY PETTY SESSIONS.

On Thursday last the charge of bigamy against
Mrs. Downs, of this town, which had been remanded
I from the previous Thursday, was finally heard before
the Mayor, H. Le Grice, T. Robinson, and
Ridley, Esqs. The following is the evidence ad-
duced, and upon which the defendant was fully com-
mitted :
Richard Casey deposed—l know, and am well ac-
quainted with Jane King, the defendant. She is the
wife of Michael King,
now present, and was, I be-
lieve, married to the said Michael King. I produce
a certificate of the marriage between Michael King
and Jane Hughes, at the parish of St. James, by
banns, on the 11th of January, 1830, in the presence
of witnesses who are since both dead. I hare ex-
amined the certificate with the registrar-book, and it
is a true copy of the entry. I know Michael King
and Jane Hughes. I knew Jane Hughes before she
married. I know and believe them to be the parties
referred to in the registry. They lived together as
man and wife at Bury. Certificate signed by Mr.
I'ellew. I cannot say how long the parties lived to-
gether after their marriage. They were continually
falling. out, so I hear, but Ido not know. I have un-
derstood that the parties separated ; and I know that
Mrs. Hughes has been living at Bury, away from her
husband. I have not seen King at Bury, to my
knowledge, within fifteen years, until within these
few days.

Elizabeth Webb, of Northgate-street, deposed—l
know Michael King and his wife, the said Jane
King. Her maiden name was Hughes. I recollect
their being married at Bury St. Edmund's. I saw
both on the
day of their marriage, after they were
married. I lived in the same house with them, at
Joseph Offord's, f
-or tN•stne time. Michael King, now
here present,
is the party. The prisoner is the person
who was Jane Hughes.
By the prisoner—I cannot say how long the
parties lived together at Offord's. I cannot say the
parties quarrelled whilst they lived at Offord's.
William
Smith 36 Garland-street, deposed as
follows :—I know Michael King now present, and
also the defendant. I married her sister. Have
, ,
known the defendant about 14 years. Have heard
her talk about her husband that she had, Michael
King, an Irishman. I think the first time was about
ten or twelve years ago that I had conversation with
her. She said then that her husband had left her,
and had used her very ill. About three years after-
wards I had some further talk with her about her
husband. It was then I went to work for her mother.
She asked me if I had seen anything of old King. ,
I said, " How should I, as I do not know him ?"
She said she had not heard of him for some
time. She wondered where he WU. .t little time

CAMBRIAN ARCHZEOLOGICAL

CONGRESS.
CARNARVON, TUESDAY.—The second annual meeting
of the Cambrian Archeological Association was com-
menced in this town this morning, and will continuo
during the week, closing on Friday evening. The meet-
ing is held under the patronage of the Marquis of
Northampton. The President of the Association is Sir
Stephen Richard Glynne, Bart., F.S.A., Lord-Lieutenant
of Flintshire, and the lists of vice. presidents, members
of the committee, and local and district secretaries, in-
clude the names of most of the nobility and persons of
eminence in the principality.
Two excursions were made this morning by the visitors
and gentlemen interested in the antiquities which abound
in the vicinity. The first was into the Island of Angle-
sey, visiting the church at the village of Newborough, the
church at Llangadwaladr, and the one at Aberffraw, the
celebrated Cromlech at Henblas, and several other objects
of interest. The excursion extended to a distance of 22
miles.

The second excursion took the company through some
of the most romantic and beautiful of the WelchsFenery.
The route lay through the pass of Llanberis, visiting the
ancient towner at Dolbadarn, and Llanberis church;
thence through the fertile vale of Gwynant to Beddge-
lert, the magnificent mountain pass of Aberglaslyn, the
Roman-road, Castell Cidwm, &c., and back, through
Bettws, to Carnarvon. This trip was over thirty-five
miles of ground.
The large and commodious room of the National
School had been appropriated for the exhibition of the
drawings, objects of antiquity, &c., of which there was
a great number. The drawings were ranged with
great taste, and the various articles of antiquarian
interest were placed on tables in the centre of the room.
This evening the following papers will be read:—
"On Druidic Stories," by the Rev. John Williams of
Nerquis; " On the Cromlech," by the Rev. John Jones,
of Llanllyferi ; " On Cantrel y gwaelad," by the Rev.'
Griffith Williams, of Llangollen ; and " On the Archi-
tectural Features of Bangor Cathedral," by the Rev. H.
Longueville Janes, M.A., of Beaumaris.

ACT.—The following act of malicious
and wanton mischief occurred on the Edinburgh and
Glasgow Railway on Tuesday :—The engine•driver of
the 5 30 P.M. train from Edinburgh on that afternoon, on
passing Bonny-Muir, near Castlecarry station, observed
upon the up•line of rails a large stone. When he ar-
rived at Castlecarry, he informed the station master of
the fact, and the latter immediately proceeded to the
place and found the stone upon the rails. About seven
yards further on he found two iron railway chairs also
on the rails. Had any train come up before these ob
structions were removed, the consequences might have
been most dreadful. The facts have been reported to the
procurator-fiscal at Falkirk, and a reward of 501. offered
for the apprehension of the offender or offenders.—Gtas-
gow Chronicle.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
• Wa have to report the arrival of a very moderate
supply of English Wheat for our market since Monday,
coastwise as well as by land carriage, and sample. To-
clay the stands were rather scantily filled with qualities
of both red and white, the demand for which was firm,
I" prices fully equal to those paid on last market day,
and at which a good clearance was effected. The general
quality of the new Wheats was greatly improved. Al-
though the imports of foreign Wheat continue good—
upwards of 13,000 quarters having come in this week—
vie had a good consumptive inquiry for that article, at
extreme rates of value. The duty is now ss. per quarter.
Scarcely any English Barley was at market, but the
allow of foreign parcels was good. Selected qualities
sold at full prices, but all other kinds were somewhat
caner to purchase. The demand for Malt was confined
to retail parcels, but we have no decline to notice in
value. The supply of Oats being small, that grain was
13rro, at, very full prices. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn,
Meal, and Flour, were quite as dear.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.

FRAN CE.

Ihe Chief of the Executive Government has just
instituted in the Ministy of Public Works a central
commission of railways, to replace the old general
commission instituted by ordinance of 6th April,
1847. The central commission is to be con-
sulted on the line to be taken by railways, the
establishment of the iron railroad and accessories,
the materiel, the technical and business work-
ing, the establishment of stations, the regulations of
the police, and generally on all questions concerning
the relations of companies with the Government. The.
Conseil General des Ponts•et-Chaussees is to remain
exclusively charged with questions relative to the
taking of lands, the execution of earth works, and
works of art, and the regulations of the accounts of
contractors.
On Tuesday a proposition was laid on the bureau
of the President of the National Assembly by M.
Lempereur, representative, to the effect that in order
to secure the suppression of the taxes on patents,
salt, and liquors, a tax of one-tenth shall, from Ist
January next, be established on the nett revenue of
each Frenchman and Frenchwoman enjoying hislor
her fortune, after deduction made of charges proved
by authentic deeds, but only if such revenue exceeds
at least by a tenth the minimum which shall be fixed
according to the population of the communes.
On Tuesday evening General Cavaignac held a re-
ception, which was most numerously attended. The
:Marquis and Marchioness of Normanby, the Charges
d'Affaires of Sardinia and Spain, M. and Madame de
Lamartine, the President of the Assembly, and Ma-
dame Marrast, and all the Ministers, Deputies of all
shades of opinion, many Generals, and a great
number of National Guards of all ranks were
present. General Cavaignac conversed a long time
with Lord Normanby, General Lamoriciere,
and several Members of the National Assembly. A
grand military orchestra in the garden executed several
pieces of ;music. This was the first time music
was introduced at the General's soirees. About ten
o'clock, the report of a fire-arm was heard in the
garden, and it caused certain agitation among the
guests, some of them rushing to the spot from whence
the report proceeded, others gathering round the
General. It was soon ascertained that the report was
occasioned by a sentinel having let his musket fall.
No injury, however, was done.
The National announces that the Central Demo••
cratic Committee for the elections of the Seine have
adopted as candidates M. Edmond Adam, M. Horace
Say, and M. Gervais (de Caen). This, we believe,
may be regarded as the list adopted by the National.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Gazette of the Bth announces that the
Minister of War had received a letter from General
Wendel, dated the Ist instant, stating that friendly
negotiations with the Pope were still in progress ;
that the Pontifical Government had acknowledged its
being satisfied that the movement of General Wendel
against Bologna had no other object than to drive
away the volunteers, and that the said Government

mending the repeal of the :Legislative Union, your de-
claration furnishes the most conclusive reply. In your
solemn pledge to maintain that Union, and to discoun-
tenance the repeal agitation, they will, I trust, discover
the hopelessness of persevering in those criminal efforts
which have so long proved injurious to the peace and
prosperity of their country."

say, " We told you so ; England has no faith in free
trade, since other countries will not follow her ex-
ample, and she is preparing her armament to take by
force what she cannot get by fair means."—(Cheers.)
I exhort my countrymen everywhere to resist this
attempt. We began our advocacy of free trade be-
lieving that it would bring in its train peace and
amity. We never said we expected a millennium
after free trade. We expected to give time to other
nations to adopt our principles, as we required time
ourselves to adopt them ; but we did hope that the
Continent of Europe, with its eyes steadily fixed on
this country, would at all events have seen that we
were not the first to doubt our own principles, and
arm ourselves against the world, when we pretended
to be seeking peace and amity.—(Cheers.) When
many good men joined our association, we promised
that we would endeavOur to make it the harbinger of
that peace we so much cherish. We planted the
olive-tree—we never expected its fruits in a day ;
but we did expect its fruits in good season, and with
Heaven's help and your assistance it shall be so still.

deafening plaudits).

SOUTHWARK.

Just as Mr. Cottingiana eras about to leave the
bench, Mr. Franklin, a tradesman in the borough,
attended before him to ask his advice respecting a
501. note, which was detained by the clerks at the
Bank of England.
Applicant' said, that on the previous day he dis-
posed of the goodwill of his business (a beer shop) to
a person for 701. He received from him a 601. Bank
of England note, and some small change. He owed
his brewer and a few other persons a little money,
and proceeded to the Bank that afternoon to get the
note changed, for the purpose of paying them; but
on presenting it for payment he was told that it had
been stopped, and that he must go to the secretary.
He was instantly taken to the latter gentleman, who
told him that Mr. M•Leod, the brewer, had stopped
the note, and that the Bank could not restore it or
change it unless with the consent of that gentleman.
He certainly owed him a trifle, but still the Bank had
no business to detain his note.

Mr. COTTINGHAM—Did the secretary tell you why
he detained your note ? Applicant—The only thing
he said was, that Mr. M‘Leod had stopped it, and they
could not pay the change unless they had some advice
from him.

Mr. CoTTINOHAM—It is extraordinary conduct on
the part of the authorities of the Bank. Do you
suppose the note to be stolen ? Applicant—l received
it fi om a highly respectable party, and I am sure that
such is not the case. I think that Mr. M‘Leod has
stopped it through spite, because I would not trust
him with the note to pay himself.
Mr. COTTINGHAM—The Bank has no right to stop
a note under any such pretence. They are liable to
an action, and if all that the applicant has stated is
true, he would get heavy damages.
Applicant-L-It is perfectly true ; all I have told you
is exactly what has taken place. M`Leod was at the
gates of the Bank whe❑ I went in, and as soo❑ as the
clerk told me that he would not give it up without his
sanction, I went outside and asked him to come in,
but he refused.
Mr. COTTINGHAM—I never heard such extraordi-
nary conduct on the part of the Bank of England
before. Go to the Bar.k to-morrow morning and
demand your note in the presence of respectable wit-
nesses, and if they refuse
.you serve them instantly
with a writ of action, and I have no doubt they will
have to pay you well. Don't listen to any compro-
mise, as it is shameful conduct on their part if all you
have said is true. sw
Applicant repeated that it was quite true, and left
the Court with the determination of following the
Magistrate's suggestion.
