TALLOW.

This market remains in the same state as last week.
The stock is somewhat heavier than at the same period
in 1843, Since our last the delivery has been good, yet
the public sales have gone off freely. The letters due
from St. Petersbugh, this morning, have not yet arrived.

THE onions GAME MANlA.—lnstances, almost
innumerable, have taken place, where poor mien, because
they bad been once or twice convicted under the game-
laws (and in many instances illegally), have been fined,
under the general Game Act, 5L for killing, or attempt-
ing to kill a head of game ; 201., under one of the
Assessed Taxes Acts, for not having a certificate ;
and surcharged under another Assessed Taxes Act, for
double game certificate duty. Of course they were not
able to pay these cumulative penalties and costs, and
long imprisonment (as it would be for all the charges),
has been the consequence ; heavy expense to counties,
and also to parishes. The game-preserving has become
a curse—the game-laws a foul instrument of injustice
and oppression—a grievous cost to the public—the foun-
tain of crime and attendant misery—and a premium to
perjury by keepers and their understrappers.—From
Corre.spondent.
THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE.—On Saturday
number of workmen in the employment of Mr. Jackson,
the builder, were actively engaged in erecting scaffold-
ings on the north side of the loyal Exchange, opposite
St. Bartholomew-lane, preparatory to the statues of Sir
Thomas Gresham and Whittington being placed in the
niches over the shops in that portion of the building.
The tessellated paving laid down by Messrs. Seeger, of
Vauxhall, was also finally removed in the course of the
day ; and although it presented such a magnificent ap-
pearance in the merchants' area on the occasion of her
Majesty opening the Exchange, it had a sad ginger-
bread-like look as it lay in the carts destined to carry

it away.
A report has reached us, from what we consider
to be an authentic quarter, that the cavalry regiments
stationed in North Britain and Ireland are to discontinue
sending parties to the riding establishment at Maid-
stone, during the winter season. If this arrangement
be carried into effect, the number of riders at the esta-
blishment will be reduced from four to three.—United

strong desire has been manifested by most of the
principal m, "chants connected with the China and East
India trades to g, a banquet, upon a most splendid
scale, to Sir Henry po.:inger, for his successful exertions
in carrying out the corninere:2l tariff with the Chinese
Government. The complithe,:!ary address has
already been signed by a numerous body of the
merchants connected with the tradea ;time referred
to, and it will remain at the offices of the Eastlndie
and China Trades Association for the reception of Pther
signatures. No doubt most of her Majesty's Minister'
would be present upon so interesting an occasion. Invi-
tations have, we believe, been already sent to them--of
the principal merchants and bankers of the City, the AP
tendance must be very numerous.

A very strong competition is, we hear, likely to 10-e
place for the new • French loan of about 8,000,0001, to
be bid for on the 9th proximo. It is probable that the
contest will be principally between the Messrs. Rothe'
child and Messrs. Laffitte and Co. In monetary circle'
much interest in shown to learn the result. Messrs.
Barings, too, will be vigorous claimants for the loan ;
and as the payments are to extend over a long period,
there will be ample time to complete the contract with-
out pressing heavily on the money markets here or In
Paris.
In the Consol Market there has not been a great dell

GREAT FOOT-RACE IN AmEuica.—On Wedneli_i°
day, the 16th of October, a foot-race, of almost nation"'
interest, took place at New York, on the Beacon Course;
The match was for 1,000 dollars, and from 25,000 alit
35,000 persons assembled on the course. The race Ore
advertised in England, Canada, and throughout
United States, and the fact that three of the most ell:
summate pedestrians came across the Atlantic expretr,
to run for the prizes greatly contributed to the exe%v
meat. Stannard, Gilder, Steeprock, the Indian (ali
John Ross), Caries, and M'Cabe ; each, more or less r.e_:
nowned for speed and stamina in his immediate eire:.
had a strong party to back him. The betting wee 11

FLANDERS MAIL.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
BRUSSELS, Nov. 14.—T0-day the King transacted
business successively with the Minister of 'War and the
Minister of Fiaance.
A deputation from Ghent has just arrived at Brussels,
to make some representations to the Ministers of Finance
and the Interior relative to the projected free entrepots
at Ostend and Antwerp.

In the night of the 11th of this month there was a
'dreadful hurricane, with torrents of rain, on the coasts
of Flanders. The west and north winds caused high
tides, with a very hollow sea. The rain and the strong
Wind hindered for three days the departure and the
arrival of the English mail packets.
The frightful weather which we have had for some
time has occasioned some damage in the environs of the
Papital. The quantity of rain which has fallen most
uninterruptedly gives reason to fear that our rivers will
Zgiti4 overflow their banks. The Senne is already very
gh, and several meadows are inundated.

!tent of the sitting to-day, voted unanimously the pro-
Ject of law for allowing to the war department a credit

TILE REV. SYDNEY SMITH.—Mr. Smith has been
seriously indisposed for some weeks, and faint hopes have
been entertained of his recovery. The Reverend Gen-
tleman's duty at St. Paul's has been undertaken for the
lim few Sundays by the Rev. Thomas Dale.
Mr. Joseph Samuda, the brother and partner of
Mr. Jacob Sainuda, who lost his life on board the Gipsy
Queen on Tuesday evening last, with nine of his engineers
and workmen, having intimated that he would bear the
expense of the funerals of such of them whose families or
friends were unable to do so, the mournful ceremonials
were conducted in a most respectable manner. The re-
mains of Mr. Jacob Sammie were removed on Wednes-
day afternoon from Poplar, in a hearse, to the house of
his father, in South-street, Finsbury, from whence they
Were conveyed for interment oa the following afternoon
at the Jews' Cemetery, in the Mile-end road.
DISCOVERY OF A VAST CATACOMB.—The Austrian
Ambassador, M. Prokesch, and Professor Rooz, in ex-
ploring the island of Milos, have discovered a vast cata-
comb, containing at least a thousand tombs cut in the
volcanic tufa. The walls of this subterranean cemetery
are covered with Greek and Roman inscriptions of from
the second to the sixth century. Most part of the tombs
themselves have been opened and are empty. This was
dune, no doubt, by the barbarians of the north, who in
the middle ages destroyed so many Hellenic monuments,
respecting the dwelling places of the dead as little us
'those of the living;
