The number of separations pronounced by the courts, does not, it 1s to be feared, present a tthe ora fifueth of the separations between hus- bends and wives existing de facto. It a return of all the cases could be procured, it would present a sad picture of married life in France. Jt is remarka- ble that Paris alone presents one-tenth of the cases of separation in the return; that the departments | nearest Paris have a great number, whilst those ors i from Paris have only one or two, or none at all.

The accounts from Rome are to the 6th ult. _ As you have already learned, the Papal dominions have been troubled with an attempt at insurrection at Rimini. Incited by some political refugees, who had clandestinely returned, and some foreigners, chiefly Poles, a rising of the people was effected, and they gained, and for a time maintained the up- perhand. Buttheir triumph was not of long dura- tion. The authorities acted with great firmness and decision, and the insurgents were soon overpower- ed. Many of them are now in prison. - 5 A spirit is abroad among the people, which will sooner or later, compel the Papal Government to accord them that political liberty to which they are entitled ; but at present the Government is too strong tor the people. Even if it were not, it would be supported by the everwhelming force which Austria would not hesitate to employ to secure the tranquillity of her own Italian dominions. But, I repeat, that the day will come when Italy will be free. Iimay, however, be demanded, whether such ill-advised attempts, as that which has just failed, are rather calculated to retard than to ad- vance it. The cause of the Italians possesses the sympathies of every enlightened country in Europe; but, to be successful, it must be managed prudently, wisely,and well,which certainly it has not yet been. Switzerland. We have received accounts from Geneva to the 10th ult. No events have occurred of late calculated to interest the foreign reader. Some stupid blockheads at Zurich have propesed to do away with the tiberty therto enjoyed, asin every other country. Such a roposifion would have been scouted in the most aokward state in Europe, but in a republic like ours, it is not only stupid but disgraceful. ; The war between the Jesuits and the Radicals continues as intense as ever; but luckily, instead ot being carried on with swords, and pistols, and stout sticks, it is fought out in the newspapers. The consequence is, that it does not do much harm. Accounts from Lucerne state that two captains in the army of that canton, named and Ulmi, have been sentenced to death for the part they took against the Government in the late rebellion ; but it f supposed that the Grand Council will spare their ives. Navat Preparations.—The accounts frora all the naval arsenals of the kingdom agree in stating that unusual activity prevails at present in the fitting out of vessels of war of every description, and we have heard within the last few days that a peremptory no- tice has been sent round by the Lords of the Admi- ralty to the different manufacturers of steamboat machinery who are working for the government, in- forming hee that the machines which they have in hand for government, must be ready at the precise time ee and that, If they are not, the full penal- | ties for the breach of contract will be entorced against them. This activity in preparing the means for defensive warfare is accompanied with equal ac- tivity in fertifying the naval stations of the empire, so as to render them sate against any sudden attack. movements of the squadron in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Seas, it is difficult to resist the con- clusion that the government considers war a possi- ble eveat, and that it is placing itself in a positon to meet any difficuities which may arise on either side of the Atlantic —Liverpool ‘Times. Germany. We have advices from Berlin to October 9.—The Zollverein has separated without coming to any de- cision whatever on the question of an increase of duties, and consequently the present duties remain | unaltered. No one foresaw this termination of the | debates, and the surprise it has occasioned is ex- ceedingly great. The southern States demanded | the increase, but Prussia refused thereto, and no de- cision could be obtained. Great honor is due to Prussia for its firmness in the matter. It was menaced by desertion by many of the states of which but it would not give in. The decision of the Zollverein to separate without a de- cision will be advantugeous to American commerce generally, and eapeoially to American cotton. The United States might, however, have secured admis- sion for their articies atthe present, or even lower Anothet disastroas Prt has happened in Algiers, the commander of an outpost of one of the divisions of the army was told by the Chiefs of a tribe of Arabs, that he had every reagon'to believe were devoted to France, that Abd-el-Kader was cruelly oppressing them, and preparing to march upon the French. The Chiefs supplicated assistance, and represented that by an immediate march Abd-el-Kader himself might be captured. Elated with the hope of laying his hand on this African hero, the French command- ing officer set out under the guidance of the Arabs. But he soon fonnd out that he was cruelly betrayed by his pretended friends. Entrapped into an ambuscade, he and his little force, consisting of 450 men, were set upon by Abd-el-Keder, at the head of a numerous force of horsemen. An engagement immediately ensued, in which the French fought with all their usual bravery ; but courage, however daring, is of | no avail against superior numbers—their ranks were | | hewed down by the murderous fire of the Arabs, and inthe course of a short time, of the 450 gallant men, nearly tour hundred lay dead. The rest escaped to a sort of fort, where they were assailed ly Abd-el- Kaker; but notwithstanding the superiority of the | pe foe, and the promise of safe conduct, they 1e- fused to surrender. The Arabs kept up a siege for upwards of two days, but finding all their efforts in vain, they abandoned the place, Thereupon the little band sallied forth with the intention of returning within the French lines; bat they had not gone far before they again found themselves the victims of the cunnin of the Arabs; they were assailed by a detachment of horse- men, and in the engagement that ensued, were all slain with the expeptinn of ten. Ten, and ten only, saved out of four hundred and fifty—what a bloo tf page to add to the many that already exist of the ll success of the French inthe conquest and coloniz tion of Africa! But France will takea stern and terrible vengeance. The defeat of Djemmaa-Gha- zaouat will be wiped away in fire, and desolation, and slaughter. Ie will be repaid ten and twenty told upon the people, if not upon the victors. Al- ready have twelve thousand men received the order to proceed instanter to Algiers, and a naval force 18 destined for the same pluce. Abd-el-Kader will be, pursued even into the very heart of the empire of Morocco, and Morocco will pay dearly for harbor- ing him. Marshal Bugeaud who had returned to France with the intention of never again going to Algiers, has departed for the seat of his ancient go- vernment, to resume the supreme command. Bugaud isa man_ who thinks nothing of human life, and we may be sure that he will ae the Arabs and the Moroccomen a lesson which they will not soon for- get. Whether, however, he will succeed in catching Abd-el-Kader, may be doubted. For fifteen long ears that noble fellow, and daring patriot (he is oth, rebel taough the French call him,) has eluded their grasp, and it is not to be expected that now he will be foolish enough to let himself be caught. A report was spread on foot in Marseilles on the 9th ultimo, of another disastrous defeat sus- tained by the French in Africa. The same was con- firmed in the evening on the arrival of the mail— The Toulonnais has the following: ‘“ The Cerbere, which arrived to-day from Algiers, brings us a piece of news which we cannot believe, but which, ne- vertheless, is communicated to us as a fact. Two hundred Frenchmen, and among the number sixty Zouaves, have deposited their arms at the feet of the Arabs. This tact, so uncommon 1n our military annals, has electrified the whole Algerine populu- tion. We require to know under what circum- stances this unfortunate episode of the African war has occurred, and this the next courier from Ainca will acquaint us with.” i ‘The Paris papers publish a report received by the Government from General Lamoricierie, confirm- ing the surrender of 200 French soldiers to the Arabs. The General says—‘ On the 27th ult , Gen. Cavaignac, anxious for the post of Ain Timmous- ; chen, which depends on his subdivision, and which he did not consider to be snfficiently protected, sent to that point a detachment of 200 men, chesen from the 15th Light Infantry, aud the Zouaves, amongst those who were least fit for active service. They left Tlemcen onthe 27th, and were to be at Tim- mouschen on the morning of the 23th. At the mo- ment when this detachment arrived at the marabout of Sidi Moussa, a league and a half trom Timmous- chen, it was surrounded by a numerous goum, under Bou Hammedi, who had come to protect the emi- ration of two large tribes of the Ouled Naltas and the Ouled Zeirs, going to join the Ghezals, who had already joined Abd-el-Kader. All this was taking place whilst General Cavaignac, returning from the country of the Taras, was proceeding to the Oued Zetoua to join Colonel Macmahon. Our unfortu- nate detachment, surrounded by cavalry, and seeing all the population, who only the day before were on our side, flying with their tents, flocks, and bag- gage, laid down their arms. We are, however, without precise details of this affair.” A_talegraphic despatch reached Toulon on the the 7th, prescribing the preparation of all the large steamers at anchor in the port to receive troops on board. They are all enjoined to be ready within eight days. The, Titan steamer has been suddenly despatched to Algeria with a special mission ; it is supposed that she conveys instructions to General de Pamoribie The greatest bustle continues in the port. The 43d Kegiment of the Line is in rea- diness to embark, and they say that the Government has resolved on sending a reinforcement of 10,000 men to the Atrican army. General de Lamoriciere announces that he was about to join General Cavaignac, and to seek for the enemy in the mountains. Ina postscript he states that he had just received an account of a successful affair of the division of General de Bourjolly, which had come up with the cavalry of the tribes under Bou Maiga, and killed 150 men and captured 100 horses. s ‘ . The Constitutionnel states that the Prince de Join- ville is to have a command in the approaching cam- Ralgn, and that he is to cruise before Tangier and ogadore to protect the subjects of France.

Loxpox Moxry Manxer, October 13.—The account of the quarter’s revenue, made up to the 10th inst., which has been published from documents f:rnished by the Treasury, has excited a good deal of notice in the inone- tary circles ; it shows a net decrease on the quarter of £560,973 compared with the corresponding quarter of 1844, and a decrease on the entire year of £234,739. The revenue has received, in the past quarter, the sun of £450,000, part of the Chinese silver remitted on account of the ransom, otherwise the deficiency would have ex- ceeded a million. This result hus tal circle quite by surprise, and the best they were not prepared for such a result. It is the more surprising when it recollected that this has been a year of extraordinary bustle and activity ; the consump- tion of all revenue paying articles has been augmented to an extent of which we bave hardly any similar exam- ple; our imports, as well as our exports, have been pro- digiously increased, and the bulk ofthe working classes formed contess duties, had the decision of the Zollverein been other- wise, supposing they would have given exclusive advantages to the products of the Zollverein. Bui the States would not bind themselves toanything of | the kind. We certainly did not calculate that | Prussia would have acted so enlightened, or the | Zoliverein so sensible a part, #8 to’refuse to block | out the commerce of most nations. } Tae_new ieligion continues to excite attention. | The King has had a squabble with the municipal authorities about it. They lectured him, and he lectured them, and each was highly dissatisfied with the other. Nothing new has been said about the constitutio From the neighboring kingdoms and states there no news of importance. Saxony is still in a state of agitation. According to a letter from Berlin, of the 7th, the Prussian government had nearly completed the or- ganization of a consistory on the religious disputes in Germany, and had placed at the head of it M. Bethman Holweg, an orthodox Protestant. M. French Ambassador for the gross insult to which he was subjected, has occasioned much astonishment, tempered, however, by contempt. The Journal des Debats expresses suprise and admiration at the vast increase of the iron trade in the United States, especrally in Philadelphia. The negotiations betweea the French and Bel- fan governments, relative to the renewal of the \eaty of commerce between the two States, are going on with activity. The French Minister of Fi- nance has had several internews on the subject with M. de Praedt, the intendant of the Belgian civil list, wh. is conducting the Negotiations on tue pe that Government. On Saturday, M. Guizot ad along interview with M. de Praedt and the Prince, and it is understood that the bases of the new treaty were then agreed on. _ Achurch newspaper has published some interest- ing and well-written letters on the stave of religion in the United States. The strange peculiarities of many sects, and the absurd fanaticism of most, are dwelt upon ; but nothing is stated that would be new on the other side of the Atlantic, though it has éll the charm of novelty in this country. The writer ot tue letters is a Catholic, and pictures, in glowin; terms, the progress his church is making. It will soon, he thinks, absorb the: Episcopal Church, and. in time, will perhaps bring within its fold many of the sects whose eccentricities keep them at present at an immense distance. ae Van Buren’s bout at fistieufls before a court of justice, while in the exercise of his functions as public prosecutor, or something of that sort, has oc- ¢asioned very great amusement here, An account of it hag gone the round of all the press, under the ti- te of “Judicial Mauners in the United States ” But though it is felt that Mr. Van Buren’s system of knocking legal arguments into a man with his fists, when he is too stupid to understand them, has ali the merit of that daring noveity which distinguishes great geniuses, Messieurs les Avocats of France are seriously advised not to imitate it; for, if they do, they will be visited with some five or six months* imprisonment, and two or three years’s Suspension irom the exercise of their profession, LD in. e We have papers from ladrid of the 9th ultimo.

The corresponding quarter of last year was also swelled by large payments of duty on fo- reign corn, andgthe Herald intimates that we may still look for revenue from the same source, which is not i le.

The Bank of England has at last made an adyuace ta the rate of discount, increasing the minimum rate {to three per cent. ‘This step has been justified by the higher rates of interest which have for some time past prevailed all over the Continent, and which would immediately ave had the effect of inundating the country with foreign bills for discount, and to increase the drain for bullion, which has evidently commenced, and which the demand for foreign Grain to supply the deficiency in the potatoe crop,will tend to continuo.

Krom the north and south of Europe the import conaistu of 3202 ers of Wheat, and quarters Beans; and from Canada and the United States of 463 quarters ot Wheat and 5,034 bris Flour. Complaints of the continuance of wet weather received from nearly all directions, with Teports of se- rious injury sustained by the outstanding Corn in the northern counties, combined st the same time with fur- ther rumors of disease existing in the Potato crop in some parts of Ireland, and more decidedly expressed within the last few days, produced considerable excite- ment in the trade here yesterday, when a large amount of business was transacted in Wheat and lour, both free and in bond, as well as in Oatmeal and Indian Corn, each of which was taken eagerly on speculation at ad- vancing prices, and several parcels of the latter for Irish consumption. To-day being exceedingly fine, and the barometer high, the speculative disposition for buying in some degree abated this morning; in English and Irish wheat, however, ‘a tolerably extensive business was done at an advance of fully 3d to 4d per 70 Ibs upon the currency of Tuesday last; and Flour, though not so readily saleable as before, realized 2s to 3s per sack, and 2s to 33 per barrel over the rates of this day week. Bar- ley, Malt, and Peaso, were held firmly at somewhat higher terms, but were not in active request at our quo- tations. Beans and Indian Corn sold rather freely, the former commanding 1s to 2s, and the latter 2s per quarter above the rates of this day se’nnight. Oats, attracting a ood share of attention, obtained an improvement in va- lue of 2d per 45 1b, and oatm if which some further arcels were taken for Ireland, and a fair quantity by lealers, realised an advance of 2s to 3s per2401b. The bonded market this morning was in no respect so lively y few further operations within the annexed having been accomplished. t. 17.—The only change in the duties of this week 1eduction.on Foreign Barley to7s., and on Pease to 3s. 6d. perqr. The arrivals coastwise and from Ireland, fresh up for to-day, are altogether rather limited, and we have no Grain from abroad beyend 2924 qrs. wheat from the Mediterranean ; whilst of States and Canadian Flour the import is moderately fair. Notwithstanding the immediate district may be considered out of the in- fluence of wet weather as regards the safety of the Corn crops, a return of rain here on Wednesday again stimu- lated a speculative disposition in a stronger degree than the reports from the other parts of the country would alone have effected, and in the course of the past two days considerable business was transacted in bonded and free Wheats, as ‘also in bonded Flour, each at im Proving ratea ; few parcels being offered at any thing nearour previous quotations, which were'not at once takenup. The demand for Oatmeal and Indian Corn for Ireland was also onthe increase. Y. the'weather pti exceedingly fine, and to-da: ough cloudy, still our ‘alparaiso dry fair tl arket this morning opened with much higher expectations on the part of holders than could be re- ed, which tended rath the demand. In English and tolerable amount of busi- ne of 1d. to 2d. upon Tues- day’s prices, and all qualities of oid were 1d. per 70 Ib dearer. Flour was not so readily saleable as before, but was held firmly at 1s. per sack and 1s. per barrel above our last quotations. Barley and Malt claimed somewhat more atteation, at a slight improvement in value ; and for Beans as well as Pease, advance of Is. to 2s. per qr. was in some cases paid. and Oatmeal continuin, to vane ie demand, the former readily ‘commanded 24. per 45 Ib., and the latter 1s. to 2s. per 240 1b. over pre vious rates.’ The advance in Indian Corn is $s. per qr. upen our last currency. Bonded Wheats, though not so lively as earlier in the week, continued to meet inquiry on higher terms, good red Baitic obtaining 8s. per 70 1b., and other kinds at a proportionate amendment. States Fiour under lock, being held steadily 30s. per barrel, was taken off rather sparingly to-day, and very littly offering. Our Corn market has exhibited the sqme features o excitement which have now existed for nearly two months The weather has been, no doubt, extremely unfavorable; and even at this date, no trifling portion of our harvest in the north of England and Scotla id,and the west of Ireland, remains unhowsed. Along with this, is a positive certainty that most serious injury has done to the potal p nsive districts in three kingdoms, as wellas on the Continent. All causes have joined to raise our prices considera- id to convince us that we will continue to have for all bread stuffa. In our Corn Exchange, alarge business was done in bonded Flour 38 to 208., and in Canadian trom 34s to 358 6d, and some extra fine marks 36s: Canadian Wheat, of fine 'y, would sell freely at 8s 9d to 9s 3d per 70 1b.

Cuaxvien presented cranberry plants from Mr Bates—the plant might be transplanted from low lands to high. They should be planted in drills 20 inches apart, the plants 7 inche: art in the drills. The cran- berry will flourish in any that will not bake. Mr. Bates will furnish any quantity of the plants wanted Meras thought the cranberry might be made an article for extensive exportation. Mr. Woxra remarked tl the Russian cranberry is larger than the English, but both much smaller than our own—not so good flavor. Col. Cuanx said an inclined position was the best way of planting them. Mr. Menniax remarked that the cranberry grew inthe Northern States, on soil that would not produce any thing else. It was always found, however, glowing on marshy ground, J Dr. Unpexnite said the grape flourished best in dry soil—transplanting it from wet improved its size and fla- | vor—he thought the cranberry might be transplanted into dry soil to advantage. 4 Mr. Meartan said there was a bush cranberry which grew ondry land, but it was not so good as the othe: Dr. Unvenuitt remarked that the Isabella and Cataw- ba grape had, by cultivation, lost the musk smell natu- ral to it. | A largo potatoe was now peaduceds which had been presente to tho Club by Professor Mapos, and brought irom the copper mines of Lake Superior. It was no “ small potato” affair. Mr. Menrian said, at Keyaville, in Clinton county, in this State, he had seen potatos weighing three poundy.— This was inthe iron region—the mineral probably in- creased its size. The potatos were of good quality.— The strawberry also grew spontaneously. A communication was now read from Colonel Clark, relative to some potatos afllicted with the rot, which had been subjected to chemical action with succ: He sug. gested that a weak solution of lime would prevent the | rot, if applied in timo to the potato. q Mr. Meios read acommunication relative to an article called ervalenta, which was much used in France, and said to be an excellent remedy for dyspepsia, &c. A communication was also read, relative to the treat- ment of hops. ia Dr. Unpenuiun said a Frese deal had been said within a few years, about the alluvial of this country. He was inclined to think the basin of alluvial was marl. A Mr. Suckley of Rhinebeck, had sent hima specimen of mari found on his farm, undera stratum of alluvial. It was very valuable for manure. He had no doubt it existed | allover the country. ‘I'he alluvial itself was un excel- | lent article for manure. In Westchester there will be 100,000 loads of alluvial hauled out in 12 months. Lime | mixed with this muck. unites with the copperas—l load of lime to 8 or 10 of alluvial will in 4 weeks make it rich manure. Before it is turned under it should be mixed | with lime. j Mr. Wakeman now proposed that the letters received be read at the next meeting. He said there had been se- veral applications made for founding agricultural schoo —he therefore moved that a committee be uppointed to prepare a memorial to papas for an agricultural college and farm ni yw York. . The Cyarmman named Messrs. Meigs, Underhill, ‘Wakeman, Professor Mapes and Chandler, us the Com- mittee. { ‘The Crainman proposed as the subject for discussion at the next meeting—‘Lhe care of stock during the winter.” Mr. Vay Errs remarked that the bounty on silk cul- ture expires next year, and ought to be provided for. This subject was, therefore, set down for discussion at next meeting. Adjourned. | | Police Intelligence.

Bulletin, Oct. 97, ee oo New York, Wednesday, November 5, 1845, : Seovictibns to the Herela. Another supplement is served to our city sub- seribers thiamorning. Advertisements, the foreign news, und the eleetions induce us to repeat this piece of enterprise. * supplement contains, apart from the advertisements and notices, an excellent article, giving a French view of the Oregon question The Foreign News. We give our usual full and careful resume of the news brought by.the last steamer. The English papers are full of details relative to the formidable warlike preparations at present in progress in Great Britain, Fleets are fitting out— the naval force is augmented in every direction—at all the dockyards, the most bustling activity is mani- fested, and on all hands the preparations for war are in progress. This indicates in the most conclusive: manner, that the growing strength and importance of this country has effectually struck terror to the heart of the greatest monarchy of Europe.— All these preparations are intended first to intimidate the government of the United States, and secondly to provide for that con , tingency which is anticipated at some future day— a collision between England and this country on the ocean. For a number of years past events have been pointed to this great crisis. The United States have grown up to a strength and prominence amongst the nations of the earth, which only the eye of unshrink- ing faith could have foreseen. For many centuries the balance of power amongst the sovereignties of the civilized world vibrated between France A new period in the history ilization and national preeminence has come. The struggle, hereafter, is to be between Europe and America—between England, as the foremost nation of the old world, and the United States, as the foremost nation of the American continent. — Fairly has the battle begun, and what intelligent friend of freedom and the race fears the issue ? Such is the position of the government of Great Britain, as respects the United States. The people of England are occupied by speculative pursuits and. a struggle for the means of existence. But in case of an open outbreak between the two countries, the popular impulse in Great Britain in favor of the frea institutions of this land, would astound the adhe- rents of monarchy. A apiritof republicanism has been breathed into the masses of Europe,which will one day manifest itself in an extraordinary manner. Thus goes the current of affairs in the old world. We are in the beginning of a great era. Every ar- rival from Europe but confirms the truth of those opinions ,which we have so repeatedly asserted and uniformly maintained—the gradual growth of free- dom and free institutions. The voice of free Ame- | rica begins to be heard throughout Europe. Well may the advocates of ancient despotism tremble as they behold us advancing with such triumph to the fulfilment ot our destiny. The Hiection Yesterday. The election passed off, yesterday, with a degree of quiet, remarkable even in our quiet city. Not even a single row in the Sixth Ward—so fanas we have heard—diversifies the report of the whole af- fair. Such is the admirable influence of democra- tic government. The democrats have swept the field like one of Napoleon’s legions in the days when victory ever perched on his banner. About a two-thirds vote was polled. The whigs came up tolerably well to | the scratch, but the natives have almost utterly dis- appeared. They cannot, we think, ever show their heads again.
