producing a RENTAL of 4091. per annum.
MR. W. W. SIMPSON has received instructions
from the trustees for sale of the real estate of William

on TUESDAY, November .10, at Twelve, the following valuable
PROPERTY:—

Lot 1. A desirable pleasure farm and accommodation land, with
newly-built bailiff's cottage, and agricultural buildings, situate at
Hartford, within one mile of the county town, and five from the
capital market town of St. Ives; comprising 56 acres of land, of
which 40 are fertile arable, convertible and kindly to the growth of
corn and green crops in all their varieties ; the remaining 16 acres
are meadow land of superior mowing and feeding qualities, being
bounded by the Elver Ouze. The property is copyhold of the manor
of Hartford, but paying only a flute of 1/. 35. 9d. on admittance,
which being certain, mikes it equal in value to freehold. It is sub•
ject also to a quit rent of 11. 3s. 9d. per annum. The farm is in the
occupation of Dennis Herbert, Esq., of Huntingdon, an eminent
brewer, who holds under a lease for a term often years, from Octo-
ber 11, 1843, at a rent of 1301. per annum. ➢lr. Dennis Herbert
farms very highly, and his brewery supplies a great quantity of
manure, independent of that which is made on the farm.

" THE BRITISH ARMY QUADRILLE,"

and intended as a companion to " The British Navy," which was
last winter honoured with such distinguished approbation.
In order to render complete the Grand and Novel Effects intro-
duced in this Piece of Music, M. JULLIEN has (by the kind conde-
scension of the Military Authorit!es) succeeded in engaging, (entirely
in addition to his own complete and numerous Orchestra),
FOUR DISTINCT MILITARY BANDS,
v'z.

The Band of HER MAJESTY'S 2nd LIFE GUARDS, under the

direction of Mr. WAETZIG (by the kind permission of Colonel
_ _ .

WILLIAMS) :
The Band of HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL HORSE GUARDS, BLUE;

under the direction of Mr. TUTTON (by the kind permission of

Colonel SMITH) :
The Band of lIER MAJESTY'S GRENADIER GUARDS, under
the direction of Mr. SCHOTT (by the kind permission of Colonel

HOME) : and .
The Band of TIER MAJESTY'S COLDSTREAM GUARDS, under
the direction of Mr. GODFREY (by the kind permission of Colonel

SHAWE).
These Four Grand Military Bands will, during the progress of the
Quadrille, be combined with the Concert Orchestra, and form a
Musical Ensemble at once novel and extraordinary.

The whole conducted by M. JULLIEN,

The immensely increased expense incurred by the above arrange-
ments is evident. The Prices of Admission will, however, remain as
formerly ; M. JLTLLIEN (having considerably enlarged the space
allotted to the Promenade) intending to trust for his remuneration
to an increased number of 'Visitors, rather than to an augmentation
in the prices of admission.

M. JULLIEN has great regret in announcing that he is impera-

lated for possession of the premises on Tuesday, December Ist, in

AMERICAN MARKETS.

Flour has slightly receded in price since the last
steamer, closing at a fraction under $5 50 per barrel,
for good 'Western Canal. Other bread stuffs have not
varied much from the prices current at the date of our
last. The quantity of wheat and flour received this
year through the New York canals, is equal to 717,116
barrels of flour over the quantity received in 1845. The
Cotton market is quite unanimated, partly in consequence
of the non-arrival of the steamer Great Britain. Serious
apprehensions are entertained for the fate of that fine
vessel, which was due at New York on the Bth October.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

Oar latest advices from Vera Cruz are to the 15th of
September. General Santa Anna's popularity was said
to be diminishing, partly in consequence of his non-ap•
pearance at the city of Mexico ; great efforts were
making, however, by hia friends in the Cabinet, to push
on the war, and thirty thousand men have been called
for, to be drafted from the Central States. Munitions
of war are admitted free of duty, and the Roman Catholic
Church of Mexico is called on to pour out its immense
treasures in punishing the perfidious Americans. It is
believed by some that Santa Anna desires to have the
banditti of his native country killed off in this war •, and
thus rid Mexico of the turbulent and licentious rabble of
which her army has been composed.
The Mexican army being annihilated, or driven into
obscurity by popular contempt, for its unsuccessful de-
fence of the country, Santa Anna may have no difficulty
in establishing a good Government, which shall seek to
find its chief support in the hearts of the people, who
will become the national militia—citizens in peace, sol-
diers in war.

SUICIDE AT A POLICE STATION.—Wed n esdaya m
'eternained act of suicide was committed in one of the
ells belonging to the police station-house, in Ken-
ington-lane, by a young man named Edward Edwards,
liars Floyd, who had been locked up there. It appears
sat the deceased was apprehended on a charge of
reeking into a stable belonging to Mr. Gable, in
Aug- street, Old Kent-road, and stealing two
ddles. He was locked up at the above station-
)use, in a cell in company with another prisoner of
.e name of Wood. Soon after a constable came, and
'old out Wood, who was wanted fer examination, leav-
g deceased in the cell alone. Not more than two or
sree minutes had elapsed when Inspector Roger, in
ssing the oell, observed a handkerchief passed through
small aperture in the door, and made fast to an iron
Lr above. Suspecting something wrong, he instantly
it the handkerchief, and heard something fall inside.
ner on the door being opened the deceased was found
ing on the floor of the cell, in an insensible state. He
as instantly carried to the station, and two medical men
ere promptly in attendance, but they pronounced the
,an quite dead.

SINDE.

From Kurrachee we have intelligence to the 26th,
and of a few days' older date from all parts of
Sinde. October is the month of fevers which follow
on the subsidence of the Indus, and a considerable
amount of this variety of sickness accordingly prevailed
all along the river. The climate towards the coast was
delightfully cool. Four of the war steamers constituting
the Indus flotilla had been placed at the disposal of Go-
vernment for goods and passenger transport. The ar-
rangements for plying them were partly incomplete; but
it, was believed they would run once a fortnight betwixt
Kurrachee and Sukkur, calling at all the intermediate
stations. This seems an eminently expedient acd judi-
cious arrangement. A very great reduction in the army
was expected to take place in January, and political
changes of magnitude and importance were believed to be
impending. The necessity of opening a five per cent.
loan merely to meet the deficiency Sinde had occasioned
will probably be one of the most intelligible hints that
can be given that if Sinde can only be maintained at a
dead loss of a million of money and a thousand men an-
nually—the past price current—we must part with it :
that we must try to salve our injured honour as we best
may: our resources cannot afford to foster false pride or
illegitimate vanity. Several courts-martial
i,i3vere impend-
ing. The results of that on Conductor onald proved
that the clamour about defrauding the men of their sup-
plies by false weights and balances was without any
foundation in fact.

'We were in our last only able to intimate the fact
that Brigadier Wheeler had started with a force of from
6,000 to 10,000 men, to occupy Jamoo in the absence of

greater part of the force, now amounting to nearly

AFFAIRS OF SOUT .1 AMERICA.

The following extracts from a Rio de Janeiro news-
paper, of the 3d of October, will be found interesting.
The Jornal do Comercio says :
" We received yesterday letters and papers from Mon-
tevide up to the 19th of September. One of the letters
runs thus:—' It is rumoured for certain that an express
has arrived from Paraguay, containing dispatches from
the Government fol the intervening Ministers. It is af-
firmed that the Government of Paraguay offers 30,000
men for the proposed making war upon Rosas, if the in-
tervening Powers will unite with Paraguay in order to
secure her independence. It is added that these propo-
sals would be immediately sent to Europe by the brig of
war Griffin. Sbch is the news which prevails in circles
generally well informed.' Nothing certain was yet
known respecting the treaty concluded between Mada-
riaga and Urquiza. Letters from Corrientes of the 20th
of August state, that the chiefs of the campaign assem-
bled and declared to Don Joao Madariaga that they
would consent to no adjustment with Rosas. On the
30th the Governor was expected in the capital to pre-
sent to Congress the accounts of his administration, and
to proceed to the nomination of a new governor. It is
probable,' adds these letters, 'that the veil which now
conceals the negotiations of Madariaga with Urquiza
will then be rent asunder. If the arrangement should
be favourable to Rosas, a revolution will be attempted
here, and 'araguay will immediately close its ports.'
"The North American agents despatched by Rosas
to Paraguay could not pass Dembuca. The Paraguay
Government refused to receive them.
o The news that General Paz had been appointed
Commander-in-Chief of the army of Paraguay is not
confirmed.
" Advice! from Maldonado, of the 15th of September,
announced that that district was wholly in the power of
the Government forces. The Oribists were concentrated
in the Minas."
The Comercio del Plata says:—" We have received
advises from Buenos Ayres to the 15th of September.
On the 12th two medical men and a dentist, both
foreigners, were arrested in that capital. Their offence
was not using red bandages inscribed with the vivas and
mueras of Rosas, as recently commanded by the Dictator.
One of the medical men is named Dr. M'Kenna, and the
dentist, Mr. Weaker, coa AmericAu, 105(044440 this

Mr. Robert Thom, Consul at Ningpo, is dead. The
following summary of news for the month is from tha
Overland Friend of China of the 28th of September:—
" The events which have occurred since the departure of

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of busi
ness. A sufficient number of members not having ap-
peared in the chamber at half an hour after the appoint-
ed time, according to the business paper,
Alderman SIDNEY gave notice of a motion upon the
subject, for consideration on a future day. His impres-
sion seemed to be, that a penalty should be inflicted up.in
those members who absented themselves upon any day
appointed for business, and that, as was the case in the
general run of corporations throughout the country, ab-
sence for any length of time should be visited with ex-
pulsion.

The RECORDER cautioned the Court against entertain-
ing a question so important to the privileges of a cor-
poration essentially different from these bodies to which
Alderman Sidney alluded.
THE SEPARATE SYSTEM IN GAOLS.
When the Sheriffs were- making their report. of-thy;.
• - V"
state of the gaols,
Sir P. LeurtrE took occasion to represent that if the
Government intended to persevere in the experiment of
the separate system in gaols, Bethlehem Hospital must
be enlarged, or more hospitals must be built, to meet
the increasing demand of accommodation for insane
persons. The Penitentiary, at Milbank, and the Model
Prison, at Pentonville, were fruitful sources of the men-
tal malady, while the prisons in which the separate sys-
tem was not adopted, produced no instances of insanity.
Alderman SIDNEY positively denied that Sir Peter
Laurie was supported in his violent outcry against the
separate system by credible testimony, and said that the
last report of the Inspectors of Prisons corroborated all
former evidence in favour of the effects of the expe-
riment.

Alderman GIBES brought up the report of the Com-
mittee to whom it was referred to take into consideration
the application of the ancient Company, called the Hor-
ner's Company, for a library. It recommended acquies-
cence in the prayer of the petition, and was unanimously
agreed to.

FRENCH HOSPITALITY.

The following letter from his Excellency the cele-
brated General Sopelana (one of the Spanish officers so
unjustly detained in France, and now yet more unjustly
imprisoned) to the French Minister of the Interior, will
be read in this country with astonishment and indig-
nation. It appears in La Mode, Revue Politique et La-
teraire, published in Paris on the 26th instant

" Sir,:--Since the 25th of September I have been con-
fined as a criminal in the prison of the Conciergerie,
without once being informed ot the crime which is imputed
to me, and without having been brought before any tri-
bunal. lam not, Sir, acquainted with French law, but I
know well that justice and the rights of men rest in all
countries on one and the same basis; and I know no
country which, offering universal hospitality, can arro-
gate to itself the power of detaining in prison a foreigner
who respects its laws, and against whom nothing can be
alleged except his political opinions. If the French Mi-
nistry has pursued a course so arbitrary towards my-
self and others of my countrymen, with a view to give
satisfaction to the Court of Madrid, assuredly they have
surpassed the zeal of Messrs. Isturitz and Mon; for the
counsellors of Isabella have not yet proceeded to the
extent of imprisoning such Spanards as are suspected of
not sharing in their opinions. You have not, Sir, the
right to punish my opinions; you have only that of
bringing to trial and punishment such acts of mine as
may be contrary to the laws of France ; and it would
ill suit with the character of a country which pretends
to stand at the head of the civilised and free nations of
the earth, to offer with one hand a treacherous hospi-
tality in order that with the other it may imprison those
who, like myself, are so unfortunate as to place confidence
in her good faith.
In the early days of my imprisonment I addressed you
explaining the tyranny of which I have been the victim;
and also the unhappy position of my wife, who is on the
point of her confinement, alone, and deprived of every
resource in a foreign country, of which she does not
know even the language. You have not condescended
to answer me yet; I am still in gaol and separated from
my family. I leave it to yourself, Sir, to appreciate
such conduct, while all Europe, before which I thus
loudly protest, in my own name and in those of my
countrymen, denounces with indignation the tyranny of
which we are the victims.

In fine, Sir, I demand once more the justice which is
my due. If you believe me to be criminal, bring me
before a tribunal; if, on the other hand, nothing like
crime can be alleged against me, restore me to that li-
berty of which I have been arbitrarily deprived.
And if you believe me to be unworthy of the hospi-
tality of France, deliver me my pas port, that I may
seek some other country whose hospitality is not a de-
ceit, and where I may hope to enjoy undisturbed my
personal liberty so long as I shall respect its laws.
In the mean time, receive, &c.
SOPELANA
