THE FILIBUSTER WALKER.

(From the New Fork Daily News, Sept. 21.)
Our telegraphic despatches this morning an-
nounces that the grey-eyed filibuster has been shot.
The man who has been the means of desolating
many a home in our country has at last paid the
penalty himself of his rashness and misdirected
ambition. There are hundreds of hearths where
a vacant place is yet mourned by the bereaved
mother, who will see in this retribution on the
head of him who lured away by false and
highly coloured hopes the prop and support of
her years, to die of sickness or hunger, or in
battle, an act of providential justice. There are
tbose who have experienced the coldhearted indif-
ference or tyranny of this man on previous oc-
casions, who will rejoice at the calamity which has
overtaken the cause of their sufferings and dangers.
William Walker was in many respects a remark-
able man ; his resolution and courage were indomi-
table, but there was such a want of judgment, of
tact, and ordinary humanity in his character, that
success under him was an impossibility. How he
ever was able to induce men to put themselves
under his guidance, or to loan him money
and equipments for his enterprises, is stranger
than his own madness. Her certainly pos-
sessed .a magnetic power in winning eonfidence,
which his blunders would inevitably dissi-
pate. American interests in Central America
have suffered immensely by the senseless expe-
ditions of Walker, as well as by the tyrannical and
inhuman manner in which he treated all who were
so unfortunate as to fall under his power. His re-
moval, however, will be much to the advantage of
American merchants and settlers in those fertile
regions, whose inhabitants have long been preju-
diced against the American name by the cruelties
and perversities of the filibuster general.

HEALTH OF THE EARL OF DERBY. Though
still confined to bed, his lordship was yesterday much
better, and the marriage of Lady Emma Stanley will take
place on Thursday next. The proceedings will be as pri-
vate as possible.

Their Serene Highnesses Prince and Princess
Edward of Saxe-Weimar have arrived in town, from Gordon
Castle, N. 8., where they have been staying several weeks
with the Duke and Duchess of Richmond.

The arrivals of specie from America are falling
off, as was anticipated would be the case, a simultaneous
pressure both of grain and cotton bills being likely hence-
forth to depress the rate of exchange.
The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com-
pany have issued proplsals for raising £1,650,000 capital
for their extension lines to Farringdon-street and Victoria-
station. The districts accommodated will be Dulwich,
Herne-hill, Camberwell, and Walworth, and also Brixton
and Battersea. The proposed amount will be represented
by 165,000 £lO shares, to be divided into 82,500 six per
cent. preference B shares and 82,500 A shares, the latter
not receiving any dividend until after the B shares.

A report has been extensively circulated
throughout Carlow and the adjoining counties, that Gari-
baldi is no other than John Sadleir, of Tipperary Bank
notoriety. The peasantry cannot be convinced that Sadleir
is dead, and they confidently affirm that he is now at the
head of the liberating army in Italy. It is believed that
some fancied likeness in the illustrated journals of Gari-
baldi to John Sadleir has added weight to their convictions.

GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—Her Mpjesty's
Emigration Commissioners have given notice of their inten-
tion to receive tenders on Thursday next, the 11th inst.,
for a ship to proceed to Sydney, New South Wales, to be

Commissioners may appoint between the 21st and 30th
November.
VIOLENT GALE.—EDINBURGII, Wednesday.—
Thia morning this neighbourhood was visited by a storm of
wind of unusual violence even at the period of the equinox.
The wind began to rise about midnight, and between 4 and
5 a.m, it brew a perfect hurricane, and continued with
boisterous vehemence till about noon, Numerous trees,
palings, chimney pots, "&c., yielded to the violence of the
gale, and considerable damage has been done in the fields,
stackyards, and gardens, and several wooden erections have
been blown down. In the Firth of Forth the gale was
very severely felt. A fishing boat, with three men on board,
was capsized about midday when nearing Leith-pier, and
one of the fishermen, named John Liston, was drowned.
The other two men clung to the boat till they were taken
off by the crew of another Newhaven boat. Tho boat
drifted to the back Qi the pier, mid disappeared,
