the same opinion, and, in announcing the arrest of Captain
7EGELTN on the same charge, states that no man, how-
ever respectable,- is now safe. " The Grand Council
of Lucerne, however, actuated by the wildest spirit-of perse-
cution against the Liberal party, takes all this man's evi_
dente for gospel, and acts on it. At a late meeting of thd
Council the PreSident read the confession of MuLLER, with
the. testimony in support of it, and also the report of the jus-
tices appointed to investigate the affair, from which it ap-
pears these magistrates assert that they have reasons to be-
lieve that deep and odious machinations have been carried on
in the dark. We fear that from such detestable means to
excite one party against another the most lamentable results
may be anticipated. Switzerland and the United States are
doing everything in their power to make republics odious in
the eyes of all good citizens. _

We have received Madrid' journals of the 2d inst. The
Gazette of the previous day puts an end to all doubt about
the assembling ofthe Cortes, and contains a royal decree con-
voking that body on the 15th of December. Before that
period about fort);-tive vacancies must be filled up—new
Members to supply the vacancies caused by the acceptance
of offices under the Crown, or other -ceuses. From all ac-
counts, however, nearly the whole ef the new Members *ill
be Ministerialists. The NARVAEZ Cabinet is not very
scrupulons as to means; and; accordingly, arrangements
have been made by which majorities must be in their favour.
Reports prevailed that the whole of the garrison of Madrid
was to be changed, and other regiments substituted, more_
likely to be under the influence of the Queen-Mother and
NARVAEZ. The General, it is said, will have everything in
the army according to his own views, and CHRISTINA sup-
ports him. He is wise in his generation, for without the
adhesion of the army he could not remain in office for one
week.

The Bourse was closed on Saturday, the Ist, it being
All Saints' Day.

A sort of panic-took place on the Paris Bourse on Satur-
day, said to have been caused by the advices from London,
announcing the depression in the English Funds and the
resolution of the Bank to raise its discount to three-and-a-
half per cent. • Great crowds flocked to the Bourse, which
was extremely agitated, and a great deal of
business was done. For the Account the Five
per Cents. and Three per Cents. had fallen about
25c., and the new Loan, 40c. Shares in the Great Northern
line had fallen lower than on any previous occasion, and closed
at 735 f. Most of the other lines fell in proportion. The
Ministerial journals contain articles on the present crisis
and the anticipated rise in the price of grain, which
they consider greatly exaggerated. The Epoque, for-
merly the Globe, a Government journal, says:—" As
to the financial crisis, one word is a sufficient
answer to all these predictions of ruin and bankruptcy. The
Chambers have decided that the railroails shall be executed
by companies, and capital has been naturally invested in
shares. There have been variations in prices, as must'always
happen. But has money been wanting ? No. Have works
been suspended? Look at the numerous edifices rising
around—tell us what branch of industry is really in sufferance.
We proclaim with confidence that every affair which is pre-
sented with honour and solidity finds more capital than it re-
quires. The harvest has been bad in some parts of the country,
but it has been tolerably good in other parts, and positively
good in several departments. Wado not live on potatoes alone,
as they do in Ireland, and by taking the measures, required
by circumstances, we shall have sufficient wheat, rye, maize,
chestnuts, and potatoes, to supply those districts which have
suffered in their crops. Of those who say that moral feeling
is lost in France, we ask if they reckon themselves among
those who have forfeited their probity and independence.
Assuredly they still hold themselves to be most honest, most
independent. Why, then, should they not believe their
neighbours to be as much so as they are? If, then, the old
press, instead of writing under the influence of its rancorous
passions, would write under the influence of truth and modera-
tion, it would find that things are not going on so badly as it
4 s.► ready to represent."
The Journal des 'Wats thus endeavours also to dissipate
alarm as to the state of the crops:---
" The evil of a panic has no limit; it is contagious, and spreads
without meeting a check. and seises possession equally of the most
violent, and most temperate. and most cautious dispositions. No
interest is more irritable than that of the stomach when it believes
Itself to be compromised. Under such circumstances a popular
panic increases- to gigantic proportions, and produces in a few days
the most deplorable results. We still recollect the disturbances
which prevailed during the year 1839 throughout the country
situated between the Gironde and the Loire, and the scenes of vio-
lence-which occurred at Marans, at Lucon, and at Brault, under
the•induence of the fear of a famine. We refer to those events
because present circumstances are similar; and we trust that
the results of the present apprehension will not be more un.
pleasant than what followed that momentary crisis. The
t of the year 1839 was but indifferent throughout
England, Ireland, France, and parts of Germany ; and, as
it always happens under such circumstances, England, whose
consumption generally exceeds its production, was obliged
to make larger purchases abroad than usual. The price of wheat
in England rose in that year to 735. a quarter, a price which it
had not reached since the year 1816 ;and at that price the sliding-
scale opened a large field for foreign importation. Still the im.
• portation was not exorbitant ; it did not exceed 7,312,428 hecto-
i litres—that is, only the double of the usual average amount of
imports. 7,1)00,000 hectolitres is, at most, but the 24th part ot•
the produce of France. Had the entire amount been purchased
In our markets, the country would certainly have suffered ; but it
would not have incur►ed the risk of a famine. The Government,

however, in order to relieve the existing apprehension, thought it
necessary by an ordinance, dated the 25th of January, 1839, to
forbid the exportation of grain. Such a measure was economi.
cally, as well as politically, a wise measure ; for political parties on
one hand, and commercial speculations on the other, were
already hastening to take advantage of the popular fears.
Experience demonstrated how much exaggerated had been
the apprehensions entertained, and after a few months the
ordinance having been withdrawn, the trade la corn re-
sumed its free and regular course in our ports. The ezpor.
cation of grain in France during the last quarter of the year
1839 did not amount to more than 870,124 hectolitres—that
is to say, to about the double of the annual average. But we must
remark by the way. that all this great foreign trade in corn in
France merely affects the re.expertation of grain, one of the prin-
cipal branches of commerce in Marseilles ; the native produce of
Franc* feels not its erects. In the mean time English speculation
is confined to the countries where grain is one-third or one-half
cheaper than in France, or to the grain from those countries stored
in France. What is the fact at the present moment, when specu-
lation and a panic combined cause the pt ices to rise in Western
Europe. The fact is that at Odessa, 7tiga, Dantzic, those great
storehouses for corn, the price of wheat remains still at 12, 15,
and 17 francs the hectolitre (we speak of middling quality), whilst
with us the price is 21E, and in London, at the end of October, the
price was 555. 4d. the quarter, that is 24f. the hectolitre. If we
now calculate the difference between the prices in the Baltic and
in the Black Sea, and add the expense of freight and commission,
and if we add a duty of 2f. imposed upon wheat exported from
France when the price exceeds 25f. the hectolitre, we shall find
that, at the price of 27f. for the English purchaser, our consumers
would be sufficiently protected both by the competition of fdreign
grain and by the nature of our tariffs."

The Journal des Wats, however, though generally con-
, ducted with ability, occasionally displays crude notions, which
will not bear the test of examination ; for instance, in refer-
ring to the numerous C4binet Councils held lately, it comes to
this conclusion :—" The most likely result is an Order in
Council opening provisionally the ports of Ireland, but the
ports of Ireland only, to foreign corn. Nevertheless, if we
are to judge by the language held by the Viceroy of Ireland,
we may believe that the English Ministry is inclined to wait
until it has acquired more complete information. Ilowever
this may be, the resolution come to will probably be soon
known." This shows how sadly the writer is puzzled.to form
lt.ny idea of what will.happen. The inference that the Irish'
ports only will be opened displays great ignorance, for of what.

use would it be to coniirre this measure to Ireland? If corn
were admitted into that country free of duty, it would in a
few days find its way into England on the seine terms. The
ports of both countries, if opened at all, must be opened at the
same time.
In the Flotte (a Paris journal generally devoted to raval
affairs), we find an article on the present state of the French
and English navy, extending to more than six columns. It
claims credit, and justly, for the superiority of the French
in constructing large vessels of war, but allows England the
advantage in building smaller vessels, such as corvettes,
brigs, &c. It wisely, however, comes to the conclusion that
France may build the finest vessels in the world, and have
also the largest navy, but to have a grand marine, which
nay live more than a day, she must have a vast
maritime commerce ; she must have large and flourishing
colonies, and laws for favouring navigation, even
should that be done at the exponse of other interests. At
present we have nothing of all these, not even the right of
pre-emption for forest trees, a wise provision of the great
COT,BERT, of which one ruinous vote of the representatives
of France deprived our royal marine. Our maritime com-
merce is sinking more and more every day under the in-
fluence of existing laws. As regards colonies, we have only
ruins. This is the disastrous state of affairs ; and when the
Chambers, which wish for a grand marine, shall
have re-established by new laws whatever they have
destroyed by law, then Franco will reap the
fruits of a quarter of a century of sacrifices." The compara-
tive state of the two royal navies is thus stated :—" The
French navy is numerically about one-third of that of Great

Britain.' This immense inequality is moreover greatly in.

crewed by the great number of three-deckers which the
,English possess. The number of vessels upon the stocks is
nearly the same -in both countries. Our• neighbours are far
from having any advantage over us u regards the construc-
tion of first-class vessels and frigates. They are incontes-,
table superior to us as regards the construction of inferior
vessels, such as corvettes, brigs, schooners, &c. And if
the artillery on board our (the French) vessels is
in general as well-disposal as that on board the Eng-
lish ships, there are some notable improvements to be made
on board all our vessels, by arranging our guns so as to be

used either when giving chafe or when in retreat, and allo

in the manner in which our vessels are equipped. In refe-
rence to the trade with China, the Gmstitutionnel contains the
following sensible remarks,'conveyed in a letter, it says, from
a person worthy of confidence :—" Notwithstanding the am-
bassadors and the commercial commission, we shall not obtain
advantages from the treaty as long as the French will not
make up their minds to drink tea, and the Chinese claret.
Our commerce in this country will be always limited, from
the want of a commercial organization, for which everything
is yet to be done."

CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.)

The Lord Chancellor did not sit to.day till eleven o'clock.
CLUN HOSPITAL V. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL.

This case came before the Court upon the petition of the trustees
of A Clun. Hospital praying that 2,500/., part of a sum of 3,3501.,
might beraised and paid to Earl Fowls. It appeared that a sum
of 3,050/. had been approved of by the trustees for certain buildings
and repairs connected with the hospital. Buildings and repairs
to the extent of 2,5001. had taken place, and the object of the peti-
tion was to have that money paid. The petition also prayed for an
order with reference to the increase of the salaries of the warden,
nurse, and barber of the hospital, which had been approved of by
the Court.

His Loitosm, made the order as prayed.
DAVENPORT V. swum

The further arguments in this appeal occupied the Court the
remainder of the morning.
THE NEW LORD MAYOR.

Shortly before three o'clockthe new Lord Mayor, accompanied
by the late one, the Recorder, and the Civic authorities, appeared
in Court, and invited the Lord Chancellor to the Civic
banquet this evening. We understand that the cause of the Lord
Mayor arriving at so late an hour was in consequence of his Lot dship
not being enabled to land at Westminster-bridge, the state of the
tide rendering it necessary for him to proceed as far as Vauxhall.
bridge, and from thence to Westminster hall, in his carriage.

the affray, or know how it was caused. Did not see Mr.
Pray strike the defendant.
(5n the part of the defendant, Edward Knight, a cab-
driver, was called. He stated that, between tive and -ix
o'clock last evening, he took up the defendant at an hotel in
St. Martin's-street, Leicester square, and was directed to
drive to No. 70, in the Quadrant. On his way there he saw
two gentlemen iii a pl:aeton following. On his setting down
at No. 70 the phaeton drew up in front cf him ; the defendant
having removed a carpet-bag from out of the cab into the
house returned, and remarked, " What can those persons be
annoying me for?" Directly afterwards one of the gentlemen
in the phaeton commenced horsewhipping the defendant. ;
• he struck him several blows with the thong of his whip in
quick succession, and then beat him with the butt-end ; the
defendant protected himself as well as he could with his
walking-stick, and at length the gentlemen alighted from the
chaise, and a scuffle then took place.
Mr Prendergast submitted that the charge against the
defendant had been fully answered.
Mr. MALTBY said that under the circumstances he should
only call on the defendant to enter into-recogni,.anceF, himself
in 501., with one surety in a similar amount, for his appear—
ance on Thursday next, when most probably the complainant
would be able to attend.
Two gentlemen in the Court immediately offered to bail
the defendant, and were accepted.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The past week's arrivals of English Wheat coastwise were
on a liberal scale ; but for the most part, owing to the pre-
vailing damp weather, somewhat out of condition. Ihe
first supply of Barley of home produce, as well as Flour, was
large—that of most other articles small, if we except that of
Peas. Fresh up, only a moderate quantity of English
Wheat was received coastwise, and by land-carriage and sam-
ple, yet the stands were somewhat heavily supplied with last
week's unsold qualities. Notwithstanding there was a full
average number of buyers in attendance, the Wheat trade
was, on the whole, dull. However, the finest qualities of both
Red and White sold at about stationary prices ; but
all other descriptions suffered a decline of from is
to fully 2s per quarter. At the close of the market
several parcels in bulk were unsold. Since our last, scarcely
any foreign Wheat has been entered at the 15s duty ; the
importers feeling confident that the late upward movement
in the value of Wheat must have the effect of producing a
lower impost. 'We had, therefore, to-day, comparatively
few samples on show, and for which full prices were de-
manded. This checked business, which was principally con-
fined to small parcels, which were mostly taken at a trifle below
last Monday's currencies. Corn, under lock, was heavy, yet
the holders would not reduce their demands. The additions
to the stock have been very trifling during the last ten days.
Of English Barley we had a large quantity on offer, upwards
of 7,00) quarters having come to hand in the week just con-
cluded. The finest malting kinds were held at fully previous
currencies, but the secondary qualities, as well as the grinding
and distilling sorts, declined from is to 2s per quarter. Very
little free Foreign Barley was brought forward. The quan-
tity of Malt on show was tolerably goed. The best parcels
sold steadily, at fully the prices paid on this day se'nnight ;
but all other kinds hung on hand, though they cannot be
considered cheaper. From Ireland only about 2,000
quarters of Oats have come in since Monday ;
but from our own . coasts an increased supply
has reached us. The Oat trade was in a very sluggish state,
and the prices were from 6d to Is per cwt. lower than last
advised, though our accounts state that the shipments from
the various' ports continue small. The supply of Beans was
tolerably good, while the demand was somewhat inactive, at
barely stationary prices. Having a large quantity of Peas
on offer, that description of grain ruled very dull, and to
effect sales a slight reduction took place in the quotations.
A large quantity of Flour being on offer, the flour trade Wlly
dull, at barely late rates. Linseed Cakes and Canary Seed
were in good request. Other seeds were heavy.

SMITHPII

During the past week the imports of live stock into London
from Rotterdam have been composed of 66 Cows, 35 Oxen,
and 260 Sheep; and from Hamburgh, 25 Oxen, in, for the
most part, excellent condition. To-day we had on offer 170
foreign Beasts, and 240 Sheep, the whole of which found
buyers, at full rates of currency. At the outports, 150 Beasts
and Sheep have been received from the Continent. From
our own grazing districts, the arrivals of Beasts, fresh up this
morning, were considerably less than those reported on this
day se'nniglit ; nevertheless, they were seasonably
extensive. The attendance of both town and country

buyers being large, the demand for the primest
sorts. &c., ruled active, at an advance in the prices obtained
on Monday last of 2d per lb. In other kinds a full average
amount of business was doing, and the rates must be con

sidered the turn higher. From the northern counties we
noticed 1,800 Short Horns; from the eastern counties 300
Scots and Short Horns; from the western and midland coun-
ties 500 Herefords, Devous, Runts, Sm. ' • from other parts
of England 400 of various kinds; from Scotland 150 Home
and Polled Scots; and from Ireland 350 beasts.
The number of Sheep, though not to say large, were more
than adequate to meet the wants cf the trade; hence the
sale for that description of stock was heavy, at, in some in-
stances, a decline in the quotations of 2d. per Sibs. The Veal
trade was very inactive, and the rates suffered an abatement
of 2d. per 81bs. In Pigs only a moderate business was doing,
yet the quotations were supported.

Although the arrivals of slaughtered Meat for our markets
from distant parts have been somewhat on the increase since
this day se'nnight, they have proved by no means large fir
the season. The supplies of Meat killed in the metropolis
having been seasonably good, and the weather comparatively
mild, the general demand has ruled heavy, and, in some in-
stances, the quotations have had a downward tendency,
while clearances have not been effected. A few carcases
of foreign Beasts and Sheep have sold at full prices.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
We regret to observe that several cargoes of diseased Po-
tatoes have again reached us from Scotland and the north of
England, and which have sold at miserably low prices. The
best parcels are in good request, at from 805 to 1008 for York,
and 80s to 90s per ton for Scotch reds. Several cargoes have
been disposed of at from 8s to 12s per ton.
BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Since our last report a steady, but not to say brisk, de-
mand has been experienced for the best Hops, in pockets, at
full prices. In other kinds, however, exceedingly little is
doing., and the quotations are with difficulty supported The
duty is still estimated at 160,0001.

Since Monday last only about 1,200 bales of Wool, 581
being from Port Elizabeth, have been imported into London.
The transactions in foreign and colonial Wools are by no

SUDDEN DEATII OF A POST-OFFICE MESSENGER.
—On Saturday an inquest was held at the Green Gate House, City-
road, upon James Daniel Holbrow, aged 55, a messenger at the
General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, who dropped suddenly
dead in Bunhill-row, on Thursday evening. William Papcott, in
the employ of Messrs. Whitbread and Co., the brewers, stated that
shortly before eight, on Thursday evening, he saw the deceased
suddenly fall down, and ran to his assistance, thinking at first that
he was merely in a fit. Finding, however, that he was quite cold,
and apparently inanimate, witness procured the immediate attend-
ance of Mr. Smith, a surgeon, but that gentleman, when he saw
the deceased, said life was quite extinct, and the deceased was
carried to the police.station. It appeared that a silver ticket bear-
ing the Post-office mark, being found on the deceased, Matthew
Peake, the police-officer employed at the General Post.
office, was sent for, and identified the deceased as
one of the oldest and most respected messengers of that
establishment. He had been in the service twenty-
nine years, and employed as special messenger to suc-
cessive Postmasters-General, from the Duke of Richmond to the
present one, the Earl of Lonadale. One of the. messengers,
named Woatford, stated that about half-past six on Thursday
evening the deceased left him at the Post-office with official
papers, and when going away, said to him, " Mind. if I am not
here to morrow the postmaster's and other recruits are in my
drawer." This was a very unusual thing for him to ray, and in
fact the witness never knew it to occur before. The deceased ap-
peared in good health, and was of regular habits. He was highly
respected at the Post-office. The surgeon was of opinion that
apoplexy or a disease of the heart was the cause of death; he
could not state precisely without a post moriem examination. The
deceased, it was stated, was in very good circumstances. He had
been thrice married, and had but recently buried his last wife.
He has lett an only daughter comfortably provided for. The jury
returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God."
SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT.-0a Saturday forenoon an
accident, attended with serious consequences, occurred to
Mr. Drake, junior, the builder, residing at Clerkenwell. He
was superintending extensive alterations going forward on
the premises of Messrs. Middleton and Company, the engi-
neers, of Loman-street, Gravel-lane, Southwark, when on a
high scaffold he fell from a height of thirty feet, whereby
he sustained such serious injury on the skull and arms that
he was conveyed to tha neatest surgeon, and from thence to
St. Thomas's Hospital, where he is now going on favourably.
The Marquis of Clanricarde, accompanied 1,3, Lord
Dunkellin and Lord Robert de Burgh, arrived on Monday last at

LORD. MAY OR'S DAY:
The 9th of November, so important an era in the civic his•
tory of the ancient city of Lender), happening this year to
Sunday, tle 10th,-was, in due course, set apart for what he:
been known from time immemorial by the good people of the
metropolis as the " Lord Mayor's Show." At an eatly bout
the I ay which was to witness the decadence of one civic mo•
narch, and the rising sun of another, was ushered.-in by th,
ringing of hells and other popular demonstrations of-rejoicing
Barriers were thrown across all the thoroughfares that corn
municated
.with the Guildhall or thi streets.. through
which the line of procession was to pass ;" and tin
City police,under the superintendende of Mr. Commissionel
Harvey, were stationed at suitable distances to preserve order
throughout the route. The,arrangernenta within the Guild-
hall were under the management of the Deputy Sheriffs and
a committee of management, and appeared to give general
satisfaction to those who had the privilege of entree. Abt ut
half-past ten o'clock the newly-elected Lord Mayor (1 r,
Alderman Johnson) arrived in the state carriage, and was
received, on alighting, with considerable applause. The
Sheriffs and the late Lord Mayor arrived about the
same time; the splendid, and at *the same time chaste
and elegant equipages of these civic dignitaries contrasting
most advantageously with the large and unwieldy ginger-
bread carriage in which the City monarch for the coming
year had to display himself to his admiring subjects. After
partaking of an elegant dejeuner provided for the occasion, the
procession formed in front of the Guildhall. On the state
carriage driving- up to receive the Lord Mayor, a circumstance
occurred which might hive been attended, with serious con-
sequences: One of the carriage wheels Came in contact with
a pOrtiOri of the temporary wooden porch fitted up in front of
the Hall, and brought it with a crash to the ground. Fortu-
nately it did not fall on any of the parties who were crowded
beneath to see the company depart, else the result might
have been fatal, or at least attended with broken limbs. The
detached piece of wood, however, fell within a few inches of
them, and was instantly removed by the officers in attend-
ance. The procession left the front of the Guildhall shortly
before twelve o'clock, in the following order:—

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER To THREE.
The sales .f Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 4,000
bales, including 1,200 oa speculation. Prices had an up-
wa-d tendency.
It is said that the Ministers have resolved to appoint a
Commission to inquire into the extent of the failure of the
potato crop in this country as well as Ireland, and also to
express an opinion what remedial measures should be adopted
before any Order in Council is issued fur the reduction of the
duties upon the admission of foreign corn, or of opening the ports
free. Such a course, if decided upon by the Cabinet, must
lead to the greatest misery among that larger portion of the
Queen's subjects who are already severely pressed by the high
prices paid for food, and who unquestionably must suffer still
further by the inevitable result of a protracted inquiry into
matter whichlis beyond d oubt already. The state of the markets
for grain and potatoes, for rice, and all ether articles forming
the leading edibles of the millions, sufficiently testify the fact
that some remedial measures are instantly required. The
season is air( aly :far advanced, and, after so mild ,an
autumn, winter will. in all probability, soon set in with
severity. And yet the people are to be told that a Commis-
sion is now about being appointed to inquire, while,
before any report can be made, famine, with all its conconli-
tent miseries, may desolate the land. If such be the result
of the deliberations of the many Cabinet Councils that have
sat of late, it may be truly said that they have ended almost
in nothing.
It is with much satisfaction we find that a subscription has
been set on foot for the purpose of presenting a testimonial
to Lieutenant Waghorn, for his long-continued, zealous.
and highly successful endeavours to demonstrate the feasi-
bility (now a great fact) of having communication with
the East Indies within a month. A, most influential cora'
mittee has been formed to promote the object in view. W°
wish it every possible success.
There are accounts from New York this morning one day
