HAYATARKET THEATRE.

" The Wonder" was revived last night, with Mrs.
Catherine Sinclair in the character of Violante, and Mr.
'Henry Sedley, a debutanE in London, in that of Don
.Felix. Mrs. Sinclair's personation of the heroine was
graceful and lady-like, combining gaiety with energy
and feeling. Mr. Sedley is an actor of merit, and pro
wises to be an acquisition to the London stage. He has
a good person, possesses the ease of a practised perfor-
mer, and shows intelligenco and animation. Tiiis
famous old comedy, which, from its clever plot and
rapid succession of incidents, is more entertaining than
many works of much greater literary pretensions, was,
on the whole, exceedingly well acted, and went off wiLh
great spirit ; Colonel Briton being performed by Howe,
Lissarcio by Compton, Isabella by Miss M. Oliver, and
the two rival chambermaids, Flora and Ines, by Mrs.
E. Fitzwilliam and Miss Lavine. The house was
crowded. Mr. Sedley and Mrs, Sinclair were received
with distinguished favour, and the whole performance
was warmly applauded.

accidental death.

was observed proceeding to the Common Hall yesterday

the Common Councilmen.

interest. The lectures generally were of a very scien•
tific and intellectual character, and replete with useful
and practical suggestions for medical ,tudenlo.
PROPOSED NEW BATTERY ON THE MERSEY.—At
the meeting of the Liverpool Dock Committee yesterday
A letter was read from Colonel Servante, of tne Ordnance
Department, announcing that the Government were
about to build a heavy gun battery on the Cheshire side
of the Mersey between the Egremont and New Brighton
ferries. Mr. Bold said that the fort would b© useless
there, as the New Mersey Conservancy Commissioners
would build a sea wall right in front of it. Mr. Glad-
stone said the Government had already built two forts
at Liverpool to protect the port, both of which were
useless. The letter of Colonel Servante was referred to
the Works Committee.

THE INDIAN FETE AT CHENIORNE. —The number of
visitors at Cremorne Gardens on the occasion of the re•
cent fete generously given by the proprietor, Mr. T. B.
Simpson, in aid of the funus for the relief of sufferers
by the disturbances in India, was accidentally exag-
gerated in our notice of it, in consequence of an etro•
neous impression which prevail-jai in the grounds on
that point. In a few days we shall be able to state the
results of the fete as returned to the c rnittee by Mr.
Simpson, and have now merely to say that the number
present amounted to something like 3,000. Notwitn-
:tanding the lateness of the season, and the unpropitious
:tate of the weather, it is expected that the money to
be banded over to the committee will exceed 3001., a
result which must be looked upon as h.ghly satisfactory.

L ,ndon Brigade attended, and a good supply of water
having been procured the firemen went to work, but
they were unable to get the flames extinguished until the
waif) ouses and all they contained were destr eyed, Tire
sufferers were insured in the Pnceoix Fire-office.

SALE OF Da JOHNSON'S CHAMBERS.—Yesterday a
sale of considerable interest took place, by direction of
the Benchers of the Inner Temple, when the building
materials of chambers, formerly occupied by Dr. John-
son, on the first fl for of No. 1, Inner Temple lane, %ere
offered to public competition by Messrv. Hammond and
Eiloart. The auctioneer announced, at the commence-
ment of the proceedings, that the celebrated "Dr.
Johnson staircase" was withdrawn from the sale, the
Benchers having determined to retain possession of the
staircase from the entrance to the first floor, the wains-
coting, banister, &c., and the carved wood over the
door, with pilasters, &c., forming the external doorway,
and would keep them as long as the Temple existed,
although they were obliged to be removed from their
present position. The boarded and timber floor, on
which the learned doctor and his literary friends had so
often walked, with tla,, windows, doors, moulded panel
partition, &c., sold at 101. Si.
A Vienna letter says :—" We learn that before the
departure of Count Buol for Carlsbad, there was a sort
of conference among our representatives at London,
Paris, and other Austrian diplomatists. Count d'Appeny,
ambassador at London, has been here for
.some days ;
Baron Hubner, ambassador at Paris, summoned by
telegraph, has arrived ; and Want d'Esterhazy, our re-
presentative at St. Petersburg, has been here for some
time. It is thought that this conference has been caused
by the interview of Stuttgard, and by the
.possibility
that in it the question of the Principalities and the
affairs of Italy will be discussed."—At the time the
above letter was written, the writer was most probably
not aware of the projected interview between the Em-
perors of Russia and Austria at Weimar. It was pro
bably that important circumstance which led to the
diplomatic conference in question.
NEW MAIL FOR LONDON.—We understand the ar-
rangements for carrying a mail to and from Cork by tee
Pacific steamer have been completed, and on and after
the 31 of October nex letters will be despatched from
our Post office twice a week by that mode of conveyance,
and, of c .urse, vice versa by the return boats. Dclive-
ries will be made at all the stations along the line of the
South Wales and Great Western Railways up to London.

SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. I:—The European and American
Company's steamship Jason, Captain Britton, left tbis
morning for New York, with upwards of 400 passengere
(principally steerage), a ship-letter mail, and large cargo.
The Calcutta, Capt. 131adirnore, belonging to the same
company, sailed hence yesterday evening for Cork,
where she is to take in the 51st Regiment for convey-
ance to Indio.
THE PACIFIC,—By the arrival at Southampton of the
West India steamer Parana we bave files of Panama
papers to Sept. 7. From Chili the news is of vary little
interest. Tne new Ministry had not been named, and
the Liberal party, both in Congress and through the
press, demanded certain reforms, which 'the Govern-
ment appeared unwilling to yield. The death of the son
of the President and the illness of his wife had, to a cer-
tam extent, restricted the political movements. There
is nothing of importanCe from the Republic of Bolivia.
Congress had assembled. Tne ravages of the fever had
decreased, and the silver mines of Potosi were proving
very remunerative. The news from the seat of war in
Peru is most unsatisfactory ; nothing had really been
done either towards putting down the revolution or sub-
verting the Government.
THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.—Itie only fair to the
authorities of the General Post-office to state that it was
no fault of theirs that the Overland India and China
mails did not arrive in London in time 013 Wednesday
and yesterday morning to despatch the country portion
by the day mail trains. The General Post office male
the same admirable arrangements as tney di.' for the
preceding mail. A special mail boat was by order in
waiting at Calais en Wt-dnesday and Thursday morning
at 2.30, and'special trains were ordered ht Dover to
convey the mails to London ; but as in the one case so
in the other, the mail trains from Marseilles did not arrive
in Paris on Wednesday and Thursday morning until
after the regular London marl train bad started ; the In-
dia mails therefore on both occasions did not reach Calais
until 4 o'clock, and at that time only by taking a special
train from Douai to Calais. On Wednesday morning
the Imperial mail packet Queen embarked the 17 boxes
of the Bombay mail at the Quai de Maree within about
20 minutes of the arrival of the special train, and the
vessel, starting at dead low-water (the harbour being in
the beat condition), ran acyoss to D rver in 1 hour and 36
minutes. The mail was lande,d and in the train in ten
minutes, and the mail was at the London-bridge station
within 1 hour and 45 minutes from that time. Yester-
day morning there were 44 boxes of Calcutta and China
mails, and it having been deemed advisable not to risk
remaining ein Calais harbour, the boxes had to be em-
barked in the roads. This operation occupied 36 minutes
when the steam-packet Queen ran to Dover again in 1
hour and 36 minutes ; but the boxes had to be fended at
the Admiralty pier, and therefore the train was not off
until 26 minutes had elapsed, at. 6.26 a.m., when it ran
up to London with as much despatch as on the pre-
vious morning.

SEPOY ATROOITIES.—A. correspondent, writing from
Ferozepore on the 24th Juiy, regarding the mutiny at
Sealkote, says :—" Smale of the European women were vio-
lated, and other a' rocities dominitted. We shall never hear
publicly of half the villanies perpetrated by these Poorb-
heas throughout tho country. In Delhi, they ripped open
a pregnair. European woman nearly at her full time, took
the child, and bound it on the back of a hog, which
was driven about the streets. Surely the Mussultnan
fanatics must have been guilty of this bloody deed.
The regiments which mutinied at Sealkote were the
46th N.I. and 9th Light*Cavalry. The former has ben
annihilated by H. Dl's 52(1 foot, a, d tho men of the
latter have been nearly all captured or destroyed. The
left wing of H. M.'s 61st Foot will leave this in a few
days for Delhi, and will be probably relieved to-morrow
by the Bombay Fusiliers,—Front Ote Home Mail.

THE MEETING F THE EMPERORS

AT STUTTGARDE. -----
STUTTGARDT, SEPT. 29.
The general resume of the information I have
been able to collect with reference to the nature of
this meeting and its political results amounts to
this : the two Emperors have had the satisfaction
of making each other's acquaintande, and of ex-
changing the expression of their individual views,
wishes, and aspirktions, but that nothing beyond
this has been obtained, except it be souse matters
of so very trifling moment as not to be worth citing
in connection with this event. W hat little I have
learned shows me that, however much satisfacti.,n
the Emperor Napoleon may have experienced at the-
overtures made to him, and however gratified he
may be by the homage thus paid to the positi,n lie
has acquired for France in Europe, and at the
additionalprestige these events will give him in the
eyes of his own people, he has not betrayed any in-
clination to jeopardise or to t .mper with the English
alliance, which he looks on as fundamentally essen-
tial within certain limits to the well-being of France
and his own stability. The idea which has been
frequently expressedin the pressof late, that one ob-
ject of the understanding to be arrived at by the two
Emperors was the reduction of both their armies,
is evidently with Aut substance, inasmuch as the re-
duction of the Russian army to a very low peace
footing (with the exception of the detached armee
corps 'a the Caucasus and about the Caspian Se-0
had already been orered, and the nature of the re-
ductions published in St. Petersburg, before the Em-
peror left, and consequently could not bs made the
subject of further negotiations ; while, on the other
hand, however sincerely Louis Napoleon's aphorism
"L'Empire c'est la paix" may be meant with regard
to foreign countries, it is highly improbable that he
will, for many years to come, consent to a reduc-
tion of his military force.
With regard to the rttirement of Count Buol from
his Ministerial post, I learn that this has not as yet
been conceded by the Emperor of Austria, but that
there is every probability that this will be ins's:el
upon by the Emperor Alexander as the condition of
Russia's reconcilia.ion with Austria, and that in
that case the Emperor Francis Jlseptt would in all
probability comply with the condition for the sake
of the result. The Emperor of Austria will not be
accompanied to Weimar by Count Buol, but by
General Griinne, who is a persona grata in the
Emperor of Russia's eyes, while Count Buol is the
reverse.—Times Correspondent.

PARIS, THURSDAY.

The Moniteur publishes th,e,mfoEllTowz, in
"The Emperor dined at the Prefecture y ester day,
and afterwards went to the theatre amid the accla-
mations of the crowd. The whole town, public
fisprivate
houses were splendidly
withdeco-
readti,e'deTebs morning
andfl.ags andning at 9 o'clock his Majesty went to
the Polygon with his Royal Highness Prince Henry
of the Netherlands, brother of the King of Hai_
land, for the purpose of' reviewing the troops of
the division. His Majesty was received by the
troops with unanimous cries of " Vive l'Empereur,"
re-echoed by the people, who thronged the streets
and places round the Polygon."
The Moniteur also gives the. following from the
same place and of the same date :
"Vhe Emperor, accompanied by his Royal
Highness Prince Henry of the Netherlands and
the persons composing his Staff, General Wedel,
sent by his Majesty the King of Prussia, to own-
plitneut him, General Dolberg, and other officers
belonging to the Prussian mission, rode out on
horseback this -morning at 9 o'clock. His Majesty
reviewed the garrison of Metz, commanded by Ge-
neral Marcy Monge,- commanding the sth division.
"An immense crowd, assemble.l from the Most
distant points. of the department, crowd-d the road
along which his Majesty passed, and saluted him
with the warmest and most enthusiastic acclama-
tions.
"At noon the Emperor took leave of his Royal
Highness and General Wedel, and continued his
journey.to the camp at Chalons.
"At Pout a Monsoon, Frouard, Commercy,
Tout, Bar-le-Duc, and Vitry-le-Francais, the Em-
peter found the inhabit tnts spontaneously as-
sembled to congratulate him. His Majesty was
the object of a perfect ovation.
On arriving at five o'clock at the station of the
camp at Mourmslon the Emperor was received.
by General Comte it'gnaurt de Saiut-Jean-d'Au-
gely, all the generals of division, and several
brigades which had been brought up to escort him
to the Imperial quarters.
" His Highness Prince Joachim Murat left the
Emperor at Metz, for Berlin, 13.aring a letter from
his Majesty to the King of Prussia."
A telegraphic 'clt-spatch from Berlin, in the Nord,
says :—" The Emperor Napoleon, after having re-
ceived the autograph letter from- the King of
Prussia, in which that Sovereign expressed his re-
gret that the state of his health would not allow him
to come in person to pay his respects during his
stay in Germany, announced to the Prince of
Prussia his intention of paying a visit to the
King."

Anote in the Pays, dated London, August 30,

The Pays says that an insurrectionary movement
has broken out at Ispahan, and that all Irak Ad-

rms
us that the house of Biron Reneaud, in the. Riche,
lieu street, having taken fire, the conflagration
spread and reduced three of the largest warehous,s
in the city to ashes. These were the English ar.d
French stores of G. Gorni, containing silks, cloths,
furniture, glass, and other articles ; another store
belonging to MM. Steifel, Brothers, containing
metal articles of English manufacture, muskets,
pistols, agricultural machines, ctxa. ; and a third,
containing pianos from Paris, Vienna, and Mar-
seilles. The loss is estimated at 80,0001.'

A letter from Copenhagen, in the Bourse Gazetts
of Berlin, says :—" Certain German journals have
stated that the Danish Cabinet will wake fresh c, li-
ceseiens to the Duchies. Here, on the contrary,
it is known that the Danish Government has not

the least intention of making the slightest conces-
sion, and that its proposition, submitted to the
States of Holstein,_was the extreme limit to which
it could go."

-
The Madrid journals of the 27th ult, have arrived.
The Espana states that the report which has been
current that modifications are to be made in the
territorial divisions of provinc4s is unfounded.
The _hoax had been sized. Some i,f the journals
aty that the Spanish Government contemplates
conquering the province of Riff, in order to put
down the piracy which has so long prevailed there ;
the Parliamento even affirms that preparations for
that purpose have already been commenced.

MONEY MARKET

A ND

COMMERCIAL IN

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market yesterday closed qu.etly, and prices were
unaltered. The &Ales were es: mated at 6,000 bales,
of which the speculat Ts took 500. The Railway
Share Market manifested a rather quLt appear-
ance, but prices were steady.

During the week the transactions in foreign and
colonial produce have b -en to a fair extent, but
speculation continues quiet, and the demand chiefly
emanates from the trade, who are merely obtaining
supplies for immediate consumption. The quota-
tions for most articles, however, remain firm, and
as the importers do not supply the market to too
great au extent, they are enabled to prevent any ma-
terial variiv ion. The accounts from India have
increaQed the inquiry for Saltpetre, for which a
slight advance has teen established, but there is
now less animation. Grocery and the re-
finery descriptions of sugar are at steady
rates, but the inferior kinds are a trifle
lower. Coffee is dull. Tea is maintained
at 140. for common Congou ; and in rice a large
business has been transacted. at late values. In
other articles, such as spices, sago, cocoa, and
indigo, there has not la--en any variation of im-
portance, but cochineal is ld. to 21 perlb. cheaper.
Tallow is heavy, and P.Y.C. is 575. 3d. to 575. 6d.
per cwt. on the spot. The market for cotton is
dull, but there is no change in prices to notice.
It is now estimated that the steamer Colombo,
to leave on Sunday for India and Canna, will con-
vey about 500,0001. in silver, and the Atrato,
which has left te-day for the West Indies will take
out 3,6701. monthly in gold. This diminished
drain encourages the belief that the bullion in the
Bank of Eugland will increase, because during the
remainder of the year large arrivals of gold from
Australia may be calculated upon. The import
of silver from the Uontinent during the last week
has been limited, and thus very few remittances
of gold in payment have to be made. Yesterday,
however, about 12.0001. was withdrawn from tire
Bank of Eng!aud for this purpose.
There was a slight improvement on the Paris
Bourse yesterday, the Triree per Cent. Retires
having closed at 68'20 for money and 68.5 for the
end of the month. B ink of Fra ce shares are
rapidly advancing and they are now 2 900.
As a proof that the monetary affairs of France
are improving, it is st,ted that important measures
are contemplated by the Bar k of Franca ; amongst
others, it is expected that the que-tion of making
advances of Si) instead of 60 per cen.e upon R ryes,
and 60 ins cad of 40 per cent ripen Railway shares
will be enter anted. Some per,ons expected a
reduction of the rate of discount at the late meet-
ing of the Council ; but this seems to have been
conideterl preijieture.
The Money market is now rather quieter, but
there is no alteration in the quotations, and full
terms are in all ca,,es, demanded_ Ample provision
appears to have been made for the commercial bills
falling due on Saturday—the 4th being on Sunday
—and it is un lerstood that the engagements are
numerous and heavy.
In the English Stock market there is very little
alteration to report, but the quotations appear
rather weaker, although busing ss is dull. Not with-
standing the buoyancy apparent during the list two
days, sonic of the speculat irs are of opinion that
the recent improvement has not been war-
ran ed, and to their sales mint be attri-
buted the flatness now apparent. kurchasers
for iuvestinent are made to a limited extent, but
they have little or no influence upon the market.
Consols have been 904 for money, and 90i
for account. They are now 901 and 901 respec-
tively. India Stock is 208, and Rink Stock 219.
Exchequer Bills are 9s. to ss. di .count.
Very few trans actions have been recorded in the
Foreign Market, but the prices are well maintained.
