THE NEW YORK HERALD. Vol. IX., No, 327—Whole No. 3549. NEW YORK, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1843. : FURTHER EXTRACTS FROM FOREIGN JOURNALS RECEIVED BY THE ACADIA. The Queen has been pleased to appoint Richard Packenham, Esq,, now her Majesty’s minister plenipotentiary to the Mexican Republic, to be her Majesty’s envoy extraordinary and minister pleni- potentiary to the United States of America, The Grogs has been pleased to appoint Henry Lytton Bulwer, E’sq., now secretary to her Majes- ty’s embassy at Paris, to be her Majesty’s envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the Queen of Spain. His Holiness the Pope has directed that prayers be offered up every day, in the Pontifical Chapel, for the satety, long flife, and success of Ireland’s Liberator. Mr. O'Connell is about to retire [to Derrynane Abbey for a month. * The success of the anti‘corn-law party in London has been followed up by another in Kendal; and their candidate was prosecuting a vigorous contest in Salisbury. The corn-law journals are in evident alarm, but the worst of their condition is that they do not know what to advise, or how to stem the current of political adversity so strongly setting in upon them. ‘The Willmer’s European Times of November 39th remarks-—‘*Trade may be said to he dull. The exports from this port, owing to the advanced pe- riod of the season, are limited, Freights to Amer- ica, nevertheless are improving. e Sheridan took out little short of £1100, and the packet ships have the prospect of being full. Infact, any Amer- ican vessel in the port has a fair amount of freight offering.” ‘The Great Westerm steamship arrived at Liver- pool from New York on Wednesday at noon,bring- ing ninety-nine passengers, and being her last voyage this season. Jt has long been a matter of surprise to the London and New York merchants that the General Steam Navigation Company, with their splendid fleet of steamships, have not gone into this trade from London direct. Where could be found better ships for the trade than some of the Ci pany 6 ships employed on the Hamburgh and Edinburgh stations? For instance, the Neptune, Monarch, Trident, Caledonia, Princess Royall John Bull, Countess of Lonsdale, and many others that could be selected from their establishment. If they can—which they have made good passages to the West Indies, Gibraltar, Hamburgh, &c. what can be better proof that they are the identical ships for the New York trade? Wreck or Tue Steam Fricatrr Mrssovrt.—The wreck of this unfortunate vessel, which was de- stroyed by fire, as stated in our paper of Septem- ber 11, still remains submerged in Gibraltar Bay; but since the arrival of Mr. Henry Abbinett, of Gosport, the operations have been carried on with great activity. The whole of her guns, chains, and anchors, seme of her provisions, and other things of piss weight, have been raised and put on board a large American barque, which is on her passage to New York. Satieea aay, the maga- zine hatch was cleared, and the whole of the ma- gazine has been got np, consisting of about sixty costly copper tanks, which fitted the ship, but the powder was damaged with the salt water. Mr. Abbinett has suggested a plan te Captain Newton for raising the ship, and itis to be hoped that it will be acted upon, in order to clear the anchorage round of the wreck, which is highly necessary. Messrs. Abbinett (father and son) manage their submarine undertaking very cleverly. Ammassapor FRoM THE Kine or Deut.—The Indian correspondent of the Morning Post says :— “Mr, George ae (who accompanied the celebrated merchant Dwarkanauth Tajore to India) is now regularly in luck. After speechifying tothe black rads at Calcutta, he was off for Delhi, and has since been appointed Ambassador from the King to the Court of St. James’s!—his personal pay is 1000 rupees monthly. He was met five miles from Delhi by a crowd of nobles, with an Indian phalanx of attendants and followers, and was taken to the Pegs (Queen’s) palace ; the King’s pri- vate elephant richly caparisoned in all the regal style of Asiatic splendor, was in attendance tor him, and the howdah or car glittering with jewels and splendid trappings!” Arnivat Extraorprvary.—We understand that there are now in Manchester nine veritable North American Indians, real red denizens of the wilds. ‘These remarkable strangers are all of the very nu- merous tribe of Ojibbeways, whose locality is in the north of Lake Huron, in the vicinity of Georgian Bay, and consequently they are born subjects of her Majesty Queen Victoria. They consist of two chiefs, four warriors, two rare, and one child, a girl of nine or ten years. They arrived in Liver- pool by the peeks} ship England, from New York, and reached this town yesterday, on their way to London.— Manchester Guardian: Sream Tues on Canars.—The Birmingham and Liverpool canal company, which has recently esta- blished steam vessels for tugging of loaded boats upon their line, in lieu of horse power, on Saturday evening despatched to Liverpool, from the junction of their canal at Antherley, near this town, a train of sixteen loaded boats, containing an aggregate weight of 380 tons. One small vessel, with engine of 16 horse power, tugged the immense train stea- dily and safely from its starting place, and other engines were stationed at different parts of the voy- age, which was performed in good style through- out. Since the light sovereigns have been called in, no less a number than 600,000 have been forwarded from the Branch Bank of England, in Newcastle, tothe parent bank, London, The loss thus sus- tained in this neighborhood is not lessthan £40,000 being 4d. each on the 600,000, the charge made by the Branch Bank of England. 4 The stag rietiOk, to compensate Miss Harriet Martineau for her refusal of a goyernment pension has been closed, and £1,348 remitted to that lady. Shocks of earthquakes continued almost daily in Illyria, and it is asserted that similar convulsions are unprecedented in that region. Mount Etna was, at the close of October, throw- ing out volumes of flame. Sarees Tron Company.—Yesterday the half- early meeting of this company was held at the ondon Tavern, Sir G. rpent, Bart., in the chair. From the report of the directors it appeared that the make of pig iron at the various works for the half year, was 18,738 tons; the make sale of bars, rails, and other manufactured iron, 12,572 make, and 10,858 sales ; at Congreve’s steel works there have been made 83 tons steel, and sold 35do. At Abercrove there had been raised 6290 tons of limestone, and sold 6384 tons.gAt the Lion collier- ies there had been raised for sale 7168 tons of coal, exclusive of the quantity used at the works. The result of these operations was.a balance of £13,- 497, 1s. 5d. upon the business of the company, in- chusive of rents and law expenses. i A seizure of 4,000 lbs. of tobacco, concealed in a large warehouse at the east end of London, was made on the 17th of November. The parties im- plicated are said to be of a trade no way connected with tobacco, and are represented as one of the first firms in that city. The principal, and all his servants, have been taken into custody, Tue [xpian Maits.—The mails from India, China, &c. due by the Great Liverpool; arrived at the post-office, via Southampton. "Phe: were con- tained in 65 boxes, and the number of letters alone exceeded 50,000. — By great exertions the London portion of them were delivered in the course of the evening. The newspapers, however, unavoidably remained to be delivered next day. A great num. ber of letters, washed ashore from the wreck of the Memmnon, have been received by these mails ; most of them have been distnbuted. Several, however, are so defaced by the sea water as to ren- der their delivery impossible, Lord Meadowbank has retired from the Seotch bench; the changes consequent on his resignation are announced in the last London Gazette, of Nov. 17. Alexander Wood, Esq., one of the Lords of Session in Scotland, appointed one of the Lords of Justiciary in Scotland, in the room, of Alexander Maeonochie, Esq., resigned; Patrick Roberson, Dean of Faculty, appointed one of the Lords ssion,"in the room of Alexander Maconochie, Ksq. resigned, ‘ox Maule has been re-elected Lord Rector of Glasgow University, by a majority of 246 to 187 over his Mi ba the Earl of Bglinton, for whom a great push was made by his partisans in the Uni- ag versity. i The Moni contains further accounts of the inundations in the South of France. The Rhone had burst through the embankment below Avignon and had opened several new branches. ‘The Patrie mentions a rumor that there is spec- dily to be a new creation of peers, and that M. tor Hugo is to be one of them. The Commerce announces that the Prince de Joinville is to undertake an expedition to a distant land towards the month of January next. He will sail from Toulon at the head of a naval squadron, ‘The state of the Caffre frontier in the colony of the Cape of Good Hope, and the position of the new settlement of Natal in reference to the Boers, huis, we understand, induced her Majesty’s govern- ment to order additional troops to those parts. . Ireland. Tt was not until Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 8, that the Grand Jury, charged with the indictments against O'Connell and others, returned into the Court with the true bills be a the parties. Ri- chard O'Gorman expressed his dissent. The At- torney-general immediately moved that the defen- dants should appear on their recognizances. After some delay, in consequence of the crowd, the de- fendunts appeared, O’Connell taking his seat at the table under Judge Burton. Steele, who had attempted to address the bench previously, but had been prevented by his solicitor, rose and said—* Ibeg pardon, my Lords, but I take this opportunity of stating, that 1 am particularly under your protection, being without counsel.” After some objection to being tried by the At- torney-general, he sat down, and the defendants then applied for copies of the indictments, on which three was considerable discussion. lee Steele again rose, and, after one or two ineflec- tual attempts to arrest the attention of the Court, he proceeded to speak as follows :— iy Lonos- Katana befove your Lordships in a peculiar position ; one differing from that of other traversers, as |, my Lords, intend to defend myself on the present occa- sion; as I successfully did on a former trial, and | strongly abject to bei prosecuted by the present Attorney-genc- |. (Loud laughter.) It is no laughing matter ; it is a matter very closely connected with the due administi tion of public justice. 1 object to the Attorney-general; for he has manifestly prejudged my case while the jury was sitting in consideration on'it, I do not now ‘spe: for the rest of the traversers, nor do I know what their wishes are ; but for myself, | sincerely hope that he will have the sense ofpropriety, or, I should rather perhay say, the common decency, to retire from his functions in the present case, and leave me to be prosecuted by his hi By gifted, patient, and well-tempered colleague, the Solicitur-general. (Laughter.) a ‘All the defendants having answered to their names, the Attorney General said, Ihave now to appl to your Lordships, the defendants haying appeared, to order that they do plead within four days from the present. ‘ ‘ 1 The Chief Justice.—What is the condition of the recognizances ? é i The Attorney General.—It isto appear in person. In pursuance of the recognizances entered into by them, they have all appeared, and now I call on them to plead in the time I have specified, in pur- suance to the 60th, George III. _ After some discussion, the Attorney General hay- ing read the act, Judge Crampton suggested that the rule should be entered then, to run from the following day. tae The Attorney General.—If it is understood that there will be no application to enlarge the time be- yond the four days, I will not object to that course. Athalf past four o’clock, the Court, ruled ac- cordingly. The parties were charged with the in- dictment, a portion of which was read, and they were to lead to it within four days from Thursday last. {t was ordered that copies of the indictments should be furnished to them. On Thursday, the Court was crowded, in consequence of an intima- tion from the Attorney General to the Grand Jury, on the preceding evening, that it was his intention to send up afresh bill of indict ment against four other pps: After some argument, leave Was granted. P Mr. Herne, Q. C., applied on behalf of Daniel O’Connell, for liberty to compare his copy of the in- dictment with the original bill. Mr. M‘Donough applied on behalf of Mr. O’Con- nell, for a copy of the caption to be served, and he submitted that the rule to plead should run from the time the comparison was made. It was decided that the application was, in point of fact, a motion, and that, before it could be made, notice should be given to the Attorney General. _ On Friday, the excitement still prevailed rela- tive to the fresh bills announced by the Attorney General. The Mercantile Advertiser says—“We cannot avoid noticing a very general rumor in cir- culation, that a charge of high treason is to be pre- ferred against some one or more of the four per- sons to be still further indicted. This, we ma positively state, is totally groundless ; and, while noticing one rumor, we shall refer to another also, for the purpose of contradicting it; but, in doing so, we only go onthe ground of its utter improbability; we mean acharge against some of the newspaper proprietors of tampering with the army.” It was soon made known, that whatever had been the import of the bills, they had been abandoned. The Grand Jury, after some fiscal business, ad- journed. On Saturday, Mr. Whiteside, on behalf of the defendant, Charles (i, Duffy, moved that the copy of the indictment furnished to this defendant should be amended, by having the names of the witnesses endorsed upon it. The Attorney General opposed the motion on the ground that the endorsement formed no part o! the indictment. The Court refused ican the application. Mr. McDonough, Q. C., moved tor a copy of the caption to be added to the copy of the dalgnbnt furnished to his client. The Attorney General op- posed the motion, and Sir Coleman O’Loughlin arose to speak in its favor. Mr. O’Connell’s Movements. Ata speech, in Conciliation Hall, Nov. 13th, Mr O’Connevt, said there was one point to which he wished to call the attention of the country, and that was the fact, that they had always looked for Reveal by peace- able means, and that the principle of his public life had been that the greatest political ameliorations could only be obtained by peaceable means. He was the apostle of that new sect of politicians who condemned all changes effected by force, and which, although they might destroy one grievance, were sure to create many. ere was neg on record an instance of success by such means that did not terminate eventually in despotism and an- ie This he had announced 5,000 times—he had prac- tically acted on it when carrying Catholic emancipation, and up to the present period in struggling for Repeal.— Mr. O'Connell then referred to a peek bo in Saturday’ Times, which he said was most insulting to the people of Ireland. He would not sully his lips by reading it, but it had convinced him that the persons who had patronized that paper were exceedingly anxious for some tumult and disorder in Ireland. Since he had entered the hall he heard thataman who hal been in America, was last night preaching sedition in the streets, and that a policeman in colored clothes, who first encouraged him, took him into custody. He was obliged to the policeman, and he sin- cerely the prisoner would be punished for the crime enere jurious to e — & Laney pe present included dice the minds of the le rose for the purpose oi address to the people of Ireland, lition or violence of ed oer was in the Gov- to assure them that he was the greatest enemy to his country who was guilty of the slightest approach to violence. It was manifest that the trooy nt in Ireland did not intend to attack the people, and thatthey merely placed themselves upon their defence. No man, therefore, could have the eli teat xe cuse on that head for committing a breach of the peace. His (Mr. O’Connell’s) experiment was to procure useful changes by peaceable means alone. What signified the result of the present prosecutions? It might be personal- fA inconvenient to some of them, but it could not affect the spirit of the entire nation, or their determination to perfevere in looking for repeal. The perseverance would more certain to be successful by being perfectly peace- able, and it should go hard with him if he did not find means to communicate his sentiments to the people through the medium of the press, Their defence would be conducted in a manner reputable to themselves and res- pectful to others ; but without giving up one particle of their decided conviction that nothing but the restoration of the Irish Parliament could be at all adequate to redress the grievances of the Irish people. (Loud cheers.) Mr. O'Connell then moved that the following printed wddress be adopted by the Association ; that it be sent to all the re- peal wardens in Ireland, and to the clergy of every deno- mination ; and that packages of it be transmitted to every city, town and village in Ireland, to be posted therein, with injunctions to the al wardens to assist in carry- iny i ag is recommended, at the risk of being struck te. To Tir Prorie or InniEnn. Conn Excnaner Rooms, Nov. ll. Fellow Countrymen—I never felt half the anxiety which I do at present to be distinctly understood in the adviee I give, and to have the advive implicitly obey- ed. The reason of thi xiety is, that if my advice be followed, the restoration of the Irish Parliament will one be obtained, and obtained in « manner the most honorable to the religious and peaceable ple of Ireland I earnestly call upon the repeal wardens to circulate = advice, and to be active in carrying it into effect.

Recollect that the principle upon which we have looked for the repeal of the union is, that it can be obtained only by legal, peaceable, and constitutional means, and by the total absence of violence, force, and tumult. Recollect, so, that the principle of my political life, and that in which I have instructed the people of Ireland is, that all the ameliorations and improvements in political institu- tions can be obtained by persevering in a pertectly peace- able and legal course, and cannot be obtained by any forcible means; or, if they could be got by forcible means, such means create more evils than }they cure, and leave the country worse than they found it, “This great experi- ment of improving Ireland by peaceable means, is what we now have in progress.

I confidently expect that the people will not injure my case and the canse of Ireland by disregarding my advice, Be therefore calm, quiet, tranquil, peaceful, loyal.

Disappoint them—mortify them by the inflexible observance of quiet, of calmness, of peaceable and legal conduct. Follow my counsel, and you thereby will serve the cause, and gratify the heart of Your devoted friend, DANIEL O'CONNELL. Deciaration or THE Irish CatHoric Bisnors AGAINST A StaTE Provision For THE CLERnGy.— The Roman Catholic archbishops and bishops of Ireland, now assembled at their annual conference in Dublin, have deemed it their duty, for the third time within seven years, to publish a most decided declaration againsi a State provision forthe clergy, in any form whatever. They have issued the fol- lowing resolutions :— ‘At a general meetihg of the archbishops and bishops of Ireland, held in the parochial house, Marlborough streets on the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th of January, 1837, the Most Rev. Dr. Murray in the chair, !the following resolution was proposed and adopted Resolved, That alarmed at the report that an attempt is ikely to be made during the approaching session of Par- liament to make a State provision for the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland, we deem it our imperative duty not to separate without recording the expression of our strongest repcobation of any such attempt, and of our unalterable determination to resist hy every means in our power o measure so fraught with mischief to the independence and‘purity of the Catholic religion in Ireland, ‘At a general meeting of the archbishops and bishops of Iveland, held in the Presbytery House, Marlborough street, on the 9th day of November, 1811, the Most Rev, Dr. M’Halein the chair, the following resolution was unanimously adopted :— ‘That his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Murray be requested tocall a special general meeting of the prelates of all Ireland, in case that he shall have clear proof or well- grounded apprehension that the odious and alarmin; Scheme of a State Provision for the Catholic clergy o} this portion of the empire be contemplated by the govern- ment before our next general meeting. Ata meeting of the Catholic archbishops and bishops of Ireland, held in Dublin on the 15th of November, 1843, the Most Rev. Dr. M’Hale in the chair, it was proposed by the Most Rev. Dr. Murray, and seconded by the Most Rev. Dr. Slattery, and unanimously resolved :— ‘That the preceding resolutions be now re-published, in order to make known to our faithful clergy and people, and to all others concerned, that our firm determination on this subject remains unchanged ; and that we unani- mously pledge ourselves to resist, by every influence we possess, every attempt that may be made to make any State Provision for the Catholic clergy, in whatever shape or form it may be offered. All eyes are turned, of course, in this quarter, upon the prosecution of Mr. O’Connell and his fel- low defendants. It seems to make little progress, and that little is not propitious to the government. The 15th November was the last day allowed for pleading to the indictment, and on that day Mr. O'Connell appeared in the Court of Queen’s Bench, but instead of saying not guilty, he gaye the Crown lawyers a taste of his quality as a special pleader by a plea in abatement—not to the substance of the in- dictment but to a matter of form. _ The foundation of this was the manner of swear- ing the witnesses who appeared before, the grand jury. They were sworn, it arrears, in the jury room, whereas, by an act of Parliament, passed in the reign of George the Third, they should have been sworn in open court, before going to the jury {| room. The Crown lawyers met this technical move- ment by a counter technicality—the objection that it was too late for the reception of anything but a iea in bar. This was argued at seat but the ‘ourt decided in favor of the defendants. The Crown lawyers then demurred to the plea in abate- ment, and insisted on proceeding at once to the dis- cussion. But the defendants claimed due notice of the argument, and the Court granted them four cave. ; : ‘he immediate legal effect of Mr. O’Connell’s movement, if successful, would be, we presume, a quashing of the indictment and all the proceedings subsequent to the arrest; leaving the Government at liberty to go before another grand jury, on the same information, and without a new arrest. But the moral effect would doubtless be a great advan- tage to Mr. O'Connell, and sp plactng of the govern- ment in a very awkward predicament. The defeat Being. only ona matter of form, the government would feel unwilling to abandon the prosecution, because by so doing it would seem to admit great doubt of its own progeedings, and pond acknow- ledge Mr. O’Connell’s superior knowledge of the law; while on the other hand, there would be ob- vious discredit and disadvantage in proceeding af- tera defeat which, though only technical, would be regarded by thousands as substantial, and would thus give Mr. O’Connell the prestige of a triumph. It was rumored, in the last, papers we received, thatthe government was meditating a suppression of the Repeal Association meetings, as it had done the great Clontarf meeting ; but if any such design was entertained—which we think by no means probable—it has not been carried into effect. At the weekly meeting held on the 7th of November, two movements of considerable interest were agreed upon. One was the adoption of a resolu- tion to make a greater and more general effort than ever, for the collection of the annual O’Connell ‘* rent,” or compensation fund, on the 19th, This is the donation made every year to Mr. O’Gonnell by the people, of Ireland as compensation for his devotion of his whole time to their service, and has amounted to as much as £15,000 in some years. The other was the promulgation of an address to the Queen, which is to receive signatures in every parish of Treland; its tenor is mainly a protest against the suppression of the Clontarf meeting, and generally against the military preparations of the Government. { The Rev. Mr. Tyrell (one of the traversers,) in seconding the motion, defended himself and the repealers generally, from the imputation that while they preached peaee they meant war. Such a thing it was impossible for Mr. O'Connell, as a R man Catholic, to do, for him (Mr. Tyrell, as a Ro- man Catholic priest, to sanction. (hear?) Motion agreed to. The Dublin papers of November the 16th say— Her Majesty’s steam ship Voleano arrived’ in Kingstown harbor yesterday morning, with six hun- dred cases of ball cartridge, and two light field pie- ces, with suitable ammunition. They will be con- veryed to the ordnance stores. . he barrack master of Castlebar has received or- ders to get the barracks of Ballinarobe ready for the reception bing The Limerick Chronicle of yesterday says—The shop windows of a bookseller and stationer in a central part of this city are filled with pictorial de- signs of the siege of Limerick, and the various con- flicts on breach and rampart between the Williamite and Jacobite troops. This new and extraordinary spectacle may be truly deemed a sign of the times, and it is needless to add that the spectacle draws a crowd of gazers fromgmorning to night. Of the ob- vious tendency of such a display, in the unsettled state of the country, there can be no second opinion whatever. Fi A. seditious ballad singer, named Maurice 0°- Connel, was committed for trial by the magistrates of Limerick on Tuesday. Savines’ Banks ty Irnevavn.—A return has been made respecting these establishments in Great Bri- tain ‘and frelan . The number of saving banks in Ireland is 75.

Net surplus profit in 1842, appli- cable to expenses of management in 1843, 2,7881. , The Dublin correspondent of the London Stand- ard states, that the inhabitants of the town of Bel- turbet, in the county of Cavan, having become alarmed at the display of simultaneous fires in the * course of the evening of Wednesday last, a requisi- | music tion from alarge party of the respectable portion of the townspeople was presented to t nhabitants, | Be: was exhibited by our gifted young pianist, Miss Christiana Weller, at a concert lately given at maris. There being no conductor to be found requesting them to order out the military to patrol | in the town, the duties of that office were underta- in the vicinity. Two companies of the rifles, at- tended by a magistrate, went out to patrol; and, about an hour alter midnight, they came out a considerable body of men armed with pikes and guns, They were challenged, and the answer iven was a volley poured in, upon the soldiers, The latter did_ not return the fire, being actuated by motives of humanity, but fixed bayonets and rushed forward, when, they arrested ten men; the rest fled im the obscurity of the night. We have not heard whether any of the soldiers were killed or wounded, but we may hope, in absence of in- formation to the contrary, that no such casualty has occurred. Another account written from the town of Cavan states that two men were taken pri- soners by the soldiers, but in every other respect sustains the foregoing statement. The Marquis of Waterford, one of the most pop- ular landlords in Ireland, thus announces in a let- ter addressed to the members of theTipperary hunt, his reasons for resigning his country hounds :—‘In December, 1841, my hounds were poisoned; | treat- ed the matter with contempt. lu January, 1843, they were poisoned again; I discovered the offen- der, and forgave him; but | stated publicly, that if a similar outrage were again committed, | should give up hunting the country. In 1843, my stables were burned, and but for the prompt conduct of my servants, the whole establishment would have been consumed. ‘From the threatening notices I had received, and from the sworn evidence of persons on the spot when the fire commenced, the magis- trate came to the conclusion that the burning was malicious, I immediately determined to leave Tip- perary, feeling that such a system of annoyance more than counterbalanced the pleasure of fox- hunting. Spain. The Queen took the oath to the constitution on the 10th of November before the Chambers, the foreign diplomatic representatives, anda great con- course of nobles, dignitaries of the Church, &c. The form of the oath is thus given :— “1 swear before God, and by the Holy Gospel, that I shall respect, and cause to be respected, the constitution of the Spanish Monarchy promulgated at Madrid on the ggth of June, 1837; and that I shall respect, and cause to be respected, the law, without having any other object than the national welfare. “If | should do, either wholly or partly, the contrary to what Ihave sworn, obedience would not be due to me; on the coutrary, it would be null and void of effect; so may God assist me, or may I be answerable to him.” From the seat of war there is not much intelli- ence.

Extract of a letter dated Athens, Oct. 31.—In politics I have searcely anything to add to my late communications, except that the same satisfactory eneral tranquility and order continue to prevail throughout, the country, notwithstanding all the disgusting foreign intrigue which is going on in this capital. In the National Assembly, which meets on the first of November, old style, the moderate constitutionalists will have a striking majority. The unanimous election of General Sir Richard Chureh for the county of Zigo, in the province of CEtolia, without his knowledge, speaks volumes as to the popularity of the English.” ‘The health of the Prince of Wales was not good, and he wasto be taken to Brighton for a residence of three or four weeks.

The United States brig Truxton, on that morning left Zophane, accompa- nied by a steamer engaged for the occasion, for St. Stephens, the place where the remains of the late Commodore were laid. Amongst the com- pany who were on board, to pay the last honors to the deceased, were alinost allathia Foreign repre- sentatives of the Courts of Europe, the officers of the steamersand_ ee of war in port, and the Ame- ricans resident in the capital. Arrived at St. Ste- phens, no time was lost in proceeding tothe grave, and the melancholy ceremony of exhumation was speedily performed.

The favorable change was, however, of short duration, as the accounts by the Hibernia steamer, which ar rived at an early hour en Tuesday morning, though in some degree contradictory, were by no means confirmatory of those previously ieceived.

The Americans are buying on a small scale. The exports from the Ist inst. to this date, were to Briton 4,061 mds, North America 1905 mds. A fair amount of business in raw silk has been done dur- ing the month, notwithstanding the very depressing tenor of the last advices; the season has been an extremely favor- able one for the production of this article, and the produce is large, which combined with the low prices ruling, has induced parties to purchase. In consequence of the very dry weather experienced of late, apprehensions are enter- tained that the coming crop will be exceedingly small. Mapras, Sept. 20.—The season for shipments to Chine being completed, our market for cotton is extremely dull, and prices very low ; the stocks are, however, light.

It was of Alphonso Schmidt. charged im July last with attempting to pick the pocket of one of the passengers on board the steamboat Independence, the cep- tain, Mr. Cleveland Forbes, being the complainant The Covrr ruled that the cause be tried forthwith, and Mr. Thomas Warner abandoned hie client’s case. ‘The Disrnict Artorxey immediately ordered his bail, that of John Mulligan, in the sum of $300, to be forfeited, anda bench warrant to be ifsued for the apprehension of Schmidt.
