Accounts from the departments announce that the rivers , which wore swollen hy the late raiss , are gradually falling . The Rbeae has nearly re-entered it 3 hanks , and the Durance has altogether done so . Portonatelv , those inundations have been tif short duration , -which circumstaace lessened the amount of damage , though still the tffects of the disaster are very considerable . The road between Aries and Tarascon . remains broken up in not less than eleven , places . The los occasioned by the carrying away of the wooden bridge at Aries i 3 estimated at

The cam age caused in the neighbourhood of Pertuip , hy the rise of the Durance , is Incalculable . Several points in the Raute-3 ? yrenee 3 have also suffered exceedingly . The Larros spread over a vast kneth of conntry , covering the Ime plain of Ozon , and threatening tbe little town of { fournay with destruction . Happfly the waters began to subside just at ihe moment when the dsDger appeared most imminent . The handsome bridge of Cnelle -was carried away , when on the point of being completed . In three days more the Jas ? stone would have been put od . Fortunately no lives were lost in this Beighbourbood . The commune of Lanobre , and several others of the canton of Tanves , have been much damaged by the late rains , as well as hy the high wind which afterwards arose , the naTieation of the Allier has been
interrupted by the raelting of ihesnow in the mountains of Clement . About twenty coal-lighters have been wrecked along its banks . —Galignani ' s Messenger . Ths Ikpkisoxtd Republicans . —During -several days ice Republican prims of Paris have been appealing against the species of imprisoLinentr to which the stale prisoners are subjected , and which is described as a return to all the horrors of-the feudal times . The National has the following article on the political prisoners at Mont Saint Uichel : —* The ministers persist in keeping silence on the "barbarities iiifiicfed upon the prisoners at Mrat St . MicheL As they are obstinate in holding iheir tongues , we are eqnally determined to speak on . Ho one must be suffered to remain in doubt as
io the illegal and abomiaable acts of violence committed in this frightful abode . Public indignation jnnst be called to the relief of violated law and in-Baited hnmanity . The Deputies must be enlightened by inconiesdble facts oa ihe results of the cellular system , as applied to political prisoners . These facts have already been stated by us / and repeated by several journals . We return io them again , and . shall continue to do so nniil onr Toiee has resounded throughout the whole world . Scarcely four years 2 » je revolved since the prison of Mont Saiot Michel received about thirty voting men , alliull of life and health . At the ehd of thi 3 short period , what , we ask , is the result of the treatment they have been made to undergo ! Official returns give ns the following answer : Steuble has cut hi 3 thraai with a lat-r ; Bezenaat has hung himself in Ma dungeon ; Jibasse ha 3 twice attempted to poison
himself ; Austen , Bardon , Charles , and Boudin , have all since their confinement here become madmen . Thoothers have fallen into a state bordering upon iciotism . Thu 3 the first result is , nine of these prisoners have teen driven to suicide , or lest in mental alienation . There are others who have no ; yet fallen , but who are afflicted with diseases that ¦ will adhere to them throaghont their lives . These diseases would have qnickly terminated thfir existence if they had not be en taken from this horrible prison . Thus the government has been obliged to transfer Barbes to Xismes : Petremaim , Viieoq , &s 4 ¦ Foznoenesxi , jo Douiitns ; Dubonrdsau . to Bor-^ ea ^ jx ; DopcEr , to Paris ; and Hubert , first to a io = pv . al , ana afterwards to St . Pebgie . Such is the balance sheet of Mont St . Michel . Tot som * , death end madness—for others , diseases which threaten their existence , and whieh are for the aos part incurable . And all this in less than four years J
The Ttbasis' Feabs . —The French Government appears to be incessant and ss active in its preparations to resist internal enemies . "The only reason suggested for this empressement" say our private letters , ** is that a movement , or pernsps more than one movement , aay be expected to take piac * on the demise of His Msj-s : y King Phn'rippe . The Re forme mentions that the Palace of ihe Tuilleries would be guarded next ranter by sixteen military posis , sixty-five cenUBe ; =, two pickets of reserve si aliened
in the galleries of the Pavilion de FHorJoge , by a p « 5 t of aides-de-camp encamped at the entrance of the King ' s private apartments , and by Mij police agent ? , dressed in plain cloihes , who are to be renewed ^ a 3 y , le £ X ^ ey Baouid 1 ) B remarked or iscognized .

OnthiSjthe Morning Chronicle remarks : — "Thus the fa , st vestige of liberty which remained to the Spaniards has besn sweps away , and the liberty of ihe press trodden under the hoofs of its dragoon rulers , as its mnnicipsl , electoral , and proviecial liberties have been trodden doim before .

SWEDEN . —Stockholm , Nov . 7 iHi—A dreadful fire at Wexia broke out on thia day se ' nnisht , n the most densely inhabited part of the town , during a violent storm , till the snb 3 iding of which it could not be checked . In eighteen hours it destroyed fourfifthB of the town ; so that of the new houses built since the last fire only eight remain standing ; and one thousand four hundred persons are burnt out . The cathedral is saved . The insurances are to the amount of three hundred thousand dollars . A relief committee has been formed , and a deputation arrived yesterday and immediately had an audience of the . King , who assured them that he bad already called a Council of State on the subject , and obtained a remntaace of thirty thousand dollars , which had been immediately sent by the courier to the governor of that province , who has also been informed that his Majesty is inclined to grant a general aid by way of loan . —Hamburgh paper , Nov . 14 .
ITALY . —It was reported on the P&ria Bourse , on Friday and Saturday , that the French Government had received accounts from Haples of a serioHs nature . Disturbances were said to have broken out in the neighbourhood of Naples , and in Calabria . A letter from Bologna of the 6 th inst ., states that M . Barretle of Ravenna had been arrested for the part he took in the late disturbances . Ho was tor some time Eetiled at Bologna . A quantity of arms and ammunition were found in his house . A barber , who was accused of putting up a treasonable placard at a cafe wa % also arrested . The disturbances were still far from being put down . Several of the insurgents had taken refuge in ilalta and Corsica , and it was said that the Italian estates had applied to have them removed .
It is by no means likely that tbe English Government will accede to this request , but the French Government has already so far complied with it as to remove all Italians from Corsica to ihe interior oJ France . The two brothers , Maratori , the Counts Beucoli and Bighi , the Marquis of Meliara , and ssTeral other refugees hare been ordered to Cb ^ uu Rouge , Palermo , Octobeb 24 . — The troop 3 in the garrison here are kept in constant exercise , particularly at night . At such an exercise and sham-fights several soldiers had loaded their muskets secretly with ball cartridges , and availed themselves of the darkness of the night to get rid of some of their most unpopular officers . No less than ten officers are mentioned as having become the victims of their men , but the full truth will never come to light .
M The reports , " says the Commerce . " which got into circulation relative to disturbances in Sicily on the arrival of the Neapolitan steamer Nettuno at Tonlon are likewise mentioned in a letter from Leghorn of the Sth instant . The Government wa ? making preparations to send reinforcements to that island . Some demonstrations were apprehended in Calabria and the Abruzzi , where the events of Bologna had produced a deep impression . The aecoontsfrom the Roman States , " observes the Bame journalj " are of a painful nature . Among ihe persons lately arrested at Bologna is M . Barbetti , sf the Legation of Ravenna , for some years a resident at Bologna . Arms , ammunition , and papers faid to be of importance , were discovered in his possession . Also a fireman , who was the bearer ef a number of revolutionary proclamations . We are as .-ured that the Military Commission will shortly sil on the trial of the political prisonera . "
GREECE . —The Greek Ofxerver of the 30 th ult , publishes an address of the Ministers of Kiag Otho to the Greeks , in which they inform them of the measures they bad adopted for insuring public order in the capital , where the deputies wcra about to meet and to deliberate on the constitution which was intended to guarantee therlghtB of the nation and of the throne . The deputies are called upon to set the example of respect for the law , and not to bring with them armed servants , according to an old practice , little in accord triih ihe liberty and dignity ot their deliberations .
Ths German Universal Gazette gives a letter from the banks of the Spree , of the 9 ih November , which Et&tcs that the Emperor of Russia waa not content with refusing his sanction to the new state of affairs in Greece , but that he proposed to addre .-s an energetic protest against the revolution of September , to all the European powers . The letter adds that h is not supposed that this rrotes ; wilJ lead to a war in Europe . The Augsburg Gazette says that the Bavarians still in Greece are dying of hunger , and thai money is to be sent to their relief .
Gbeeck . —A letter from Athens , of Oct . 31 , says u General Colerti entered the port of the P . iseas at half-past nine o ' clock this morning , under salute ? from the Greek , French , English , Russian , and Austrian ehip 3 of war .

TtJEKEY . —Constaxti . nople , Oct . 28 th . —M . de Bourquciiey has deliv ^ reo a note to the Pone , conveying in the strongest terms the sentiments of his goveruiaent upon the execution of the Armenian . Why did not il . de Bourquency present his " notb " or tt = e his diplomatic itfl . uen . ee in conjunction with Sir S . Canning , before the Armenian s execution I Bis '' . note" is pnre humbug now . The Journal de Constantinople has endeavoured , in a series of articles , to encourage the Turks in their anti-Christian persecutions . Sultan Mabmoud had laboured sucfietsfaily to t < move the fanaticism and prejudices which , daring ages , had drawD an impassable barrier between the Alihommedan world and
Christendom . During his long reign Christians were no longer persecuted for their religion . By the introducxion of judicious reform 1 ' , he endeavoured to reconcile his Mohammeda-n eubjects to hlB own llberslity of sentiment . The best proof of his success was theibtereEt which tbe state of Turkey suddenly created in the public mind in Europe , and the earnest desire which was displayed by the most enlightened governments to afford her proper protection and support . In a few years public opinion , with regard to this country , was completely changed . By a rash and imprudent act—an act hoth uncalled for and
unnecssary—the present goverunent has endangered the position Saltan Mafcrnosd had so earnestly endeavoured to assume . And this act is accompanied by oiber instances of persecution and fanaticism , and has served to awaken a spirit of intolerance which will lead , unless speedily repressed , to even more serious results . Those , therefore , who would encourage the Turkish Government , by their approval , to persist in a course which must end in the destruction of this empire , are no true friends of Turkey , but are serving the cause of her most dangerous enemy .
I *; tter 3 from Mosul informs us that the Kurds are in possession of the Tivaree country , and that the Patriarch is still in Mosul . The order for the liberation of the Kestorians sold into slavery , for the restoration of the Patriarch , and for the withdrawal of the Kard 3 , had not yet reached Mosul . Prince Bibesko quitted Constantinople on the 19 th He has obtained a finnan from the Forte to limit the duties upon all imports and exports in V / allsvchia to five per cent ., excepting upon salt , which is declared free from duty . The moon of the Beiram was ushered in on Tuesday
evfaing by the usual discharge of artillery . The few day ^ that have intervened have been devoted to feasting and amusement . On Wednesday morning the Sultan visited , as is customary , the mosque of Sultan Achmed , accompanied by Rizs Pacha , the ministers of state , and all the great officers of tho empire . This procession is one of the most remarkable ceremonies of the year , and always attracts a large concenrse of spectators . Eetters from Bagdad mention some fresb in&tanoes ofaggreEsionbytheKurds on the Persian frontier , near Soleimaniyah .

peninsula , but because that the nltra or real Democratic party refused to concur in it . Tho reason given for this holding back is , that the Republicans would not aid in a movement suggested by Russia , Everything was . it seems , prepared for a general Italian insurrection . The Movement was to commence in Naples , whew it was expected a portion of the army would lead or immediately enter into it . Upon the knowledge of that revolt , Lombardy , Piedmont , and the Romagna would rise ; and an Italian empire , the ruler over which would be the Duke de Lcuchtenberi ? , eon of the Viceroy of Italy , Eugeno Beauharnais—and , bear this in mind , sonin-law of the Emperor Nicholas . La Jeune Italie , like ia Jeunc France * would not promote the monarchial views of any map ; and consequently the revolt in Italy miscarried .
POLAND . —M « RE Rtjssiam Tyranny . —Letters from the frontiers oi Poland announce that the Emperor of Russia intended shortly to publish an ukase commanding the Catholic inhabitants of Podolia , Volhinia , and tho Ukraine , either to embrace the Greek religion or quit the country , and allowing them only two years to comply with that order . At the expiration of that delay , the property of the refractory Catholics is to be confiscated . This measure will afterwards be applied to the kingdom of Poland . The Emperor Nicholas wishes to Muscoviza tha Polish nationality . The idea is characteristic of a barbarous age , and of an antiquated despotism , but it is not unworthy of the Emperor Nicholas .
I Kussxa—A Company has been formed in Si . ¦ PetersbuMh for construc ' ting a railroad which will unite the Don with the " Volgo .

Capture of a Slaver . —Extract of a letter dated H . M . 6 . FtfguariJ , Rio , September 11 th : —' The Frolic arrived here last night , wiih a Kiaver she had captured on ? Cape Foio , having on board three hundred slaves , men , women , and children . This sla ? er was oniy about double the size of one of our launches , and the poor unfortunate beings were packed in her like as many herrings would be in a cask . It appears that they had been stowed in like this for tho space of forty-five day ? . Death had happily released a great macy of them from their torture . Bat oh , the sight of the living masses of corruption was enough to strike terror into tho most flinty heart as they were covered with sores from head to
foot . They were as soon as possible relieved from their forty-five day region , being taken out , and p laced on board the receiving ship for that purpose . You can more easily imagine than I can describe the skeleton frames of these poor wretches , wheu I tell you that two hundred and twenty of th * m were taken ai once into our launch , and conveyed to tho receiTing saip . Our men realiy sickened at tho spectacles they bad to behold in tho Ehape of humanity ; and I was glad when tlie last had been taken out , for I never beheld such a sight before . There were among them forty female children , supposed to be under seven years of ago , and fortyfive males nnder ten . "—Hants Independent .
United States . —The efforts in favour of the Irish Repeal nmment in tho United States , saya a New York paper , appear to have elackcud very much of late . JuBt before the elections , by way of conciliating the Irish voters , we had exptoten a very . general demonstration , bat with the exception of an isolated effort in Albany , we have seen nothing worthy o » notice . The New York Herald of the 1 st inst . concludes a Brief argument on the subject of repeal of the Irifch Union , in which the warning interest in t '
nasnbject \ s accounted for by reference to the alleged injustice of U'Connell towards the states , with the following vajjue statement : — "We have every reason to believe , therefore , that some general organiz uion or association will soon be produced in this metropolis , having for its object the legal and constitutional reform of all the Governments of Western Europe , Here will probably be the grand cectre of a treat revolutiouaiy movement , equally embracing Ei . giand , France , Italy , and Spain .. Sutth , at . least , ia our recent information . "
The Elections . —The papers contain much of the speculation on the coming elections . Thr friends of Mr .

Ballard , a merchant of New ; York , was stabbed ia the public street , and his . life endangered , by a female with whom he was in conversation , and whom , it is said , he had seduced on the night of the 1 st of November . The wound was inflicted with a dagger , and aimed at his heart , but the point struck aeainst his rib , and probably saved his life . The affair had caused a great sensation in New York . It is stated that , me same female publicly assaulted the same gentlethan a few weeks ago in the street with a horsewhip .

i At nine o ' clock a . m ., when about 75 milei from Gal-} veston , it having been found that the water was : gaining on the pumps , and that both wind and sea i were increasing , the captain determined to run her I into the Sabine river . But believing the accoinplLib .-I ment of even this doubtful , from the rapid manner ! in which the leak increased , he concluded to run her ' on the nearest shore . Ho directed her course ! accordinglv , the whole of the ere wand passengers baicg in the meantime engaged in baling her out . ' At half-past two o ' clock p . m ., the water , notwith-I standing tktir exertions , had ascended to the fires and the engine .- Further efforts to counteract the I leak were therefore unavailing , and to save their lives became the concern of all on board . They then set about mak"UJK rafts of the cotton bales—four bales to a raft—and lashed together some spars for other rafts . She was now sinking rapidly ; the lead

The fire occurred in what is termed the yeueer-houBe , sitnate on tbe western side ' of tbe yard , and which communicated with several other buildings ; the whole having a frontage of nearly 100 feet , and a depth of some b 0 or 60 feet The fhm ' es from the building , though lew , being almost wholly of wood , gained a rapid head , and In less than ten minutes after the discovery of tbe fire It had penetrated three other buildings used as chaise-houses , as well as several more departments . Tbe two parish
engines were the first to arrive , followed by the brigade Gngineafroin Wnitecroas-atreet and Watling-street The flames still progressing , the firemen exerted themselves In . saving a large building over the saw pits , and a range of sheds at the side of the canal . Although the heat was most oppressive , yet tbe firemen continued to labour without intermission until half-post nine o ' clock , at which boor the conflagration began to yield beneath their exertions , and in the course of another half hour it was extinguished , but not before tbe buildings abovementioned were a mass of ruins . Tho total damage must amount to a considerable sum . Fortunately Mr Salmon was insured in the Countjr Fire-office to the amount of £ 2 . 600 . Not the least idea can be formed ss to the origin of tha fire .
Fibs ax Messbs . Bhamah ' s Manufactory , Pim-Lico . —^ On Monday morning , shortly before four o'clock , a most destructive flre broke oat upen the extensive premises belonging to Messrs . Bramah and Prestige , engineers and patent lock-makers , Belgrave Place , Pimlico . The manufactory in : which the conflagration originated was upwards of one hundred and eighty feet in length , and was one of the most unique in Europe , there being every fitting and necessary for tbe completion o ! the locks for which they are so celebrated In less than half an hour the whole of the engineroom , with its valuable machinery , was destroyed , and
the whole of the pile rapidly took fire . Mr . Braid wood , With the Watling-street engine , arrived by five o ' clock . Water having been procured after some little delay , the fury of the flames was subdued in a small measure ; but they subsequently proved to be still more fearful . By five o ' clook the entire building was on fire from the top to tbe bottom , and the rUmes continued their fury until there was aob one : article of a combustible character to feed them . The flames were got under about five o ' clock . The Chronicle states that the above fire was undoubtedly tbe work of an incendiary . Ihe damage dune is very great .
Another Fire . —Between four and five o ' clock on Saturday morning , a fire broke out upon the extensive premises in the occupation of Messrs . E . lgington and Sons , tho rick-cloth makers in the Old Kent-road . The fire was first noticed by tho private watchman , earning with considerable fury , in a shed at the rear of the buildings , used for the store of manufactured goods . Assistance being speedily procured , the fire was fortunately extinguished with little destruction of property . The fire is supposed to have originated by the rain falling into a barrel of lamp black . ' Water mixed With , laiup black will generate combustion .
Fire in TUE BOROUGH . —On Monday morning between ten and eleven o ' eiock an extensive fire broke out upon the premises in the occupation of Mr . I . Lewis , marine store dealer , Board ' s-buildings , Kentstreet , Borough . Upon tbe spot were boused , among many other miscellaneous articles , a considerable quantity of hemp and flax . By spontaneous combustion , it appears , this portion of tbe stock ignited , setting fire to the other goods , and destroying property to a considerable extent . The fire was not quite subdued , before twelve o ' eluck . The damage is considerable . The occupier is insured . More Fires . —A flre also broke out on Monday in the house of Mr . Roberts , of Hemlock-court , Carey-Btreet , Lincoln ' s-inn-fielis . The cause of alarm originated in a cellar containing household furniture , &c , but owing to the prompt assistance of neighbours , and tbe quick arrival of the pariah engine , the fire was soon arreated in ita progress . The building is damaged .
A fire broke out en Monday , in tbe upper pare of the Ptceuix public house , Union-street , Lieson-grove . It happened during tho absence of the plumbers at dinner , who bad been at work mending the roof .

Jones , of King-street , and the subscription flre engine from Greenacres Moor , were
speedily on the ground . Strenuous and successful tfivrts were made to rescue tbe warehouse from danger , and similar , dangerous but fortunate services were rendered in ¦ saving tbe other portions of the mill from injury . Tho entire mill is eeventy . six yards in length , and twenty yards in breadth ; and tbe portion consumed form the two highest stories of tbe northern half of the mill , which is thirty-eight yards ia length by twenty in breadth , comprising twelve windows in length by three in height ; the whole mill contains twenty four windows in length end three in height . Tbe property destroyed consists chiefly of a number oi mules , and carding engines . The entire damage may amount to upwards of £ 5 , 000 . This unfortunate event will throw about eighty hands out of employment .
BURy—About a quarter past twelve o ' clock on Tuesday evening last , tho large woollen mill , at Openshaw Fold , near Bury , the property of Messrs .

Incendiary Fire and Murder—Out readers are already aware that several fires have occurred in the parish of Madley , and we have now to mention one , accompanied by the loss of human life , in the adjoining parish of Eitoa Bishop . On Thursday morning last the waggoner of Mr . Bennett , of Wormhill , six and a half miles from this city , was awoke by a strong glare of
light in his bed-room . He called up his fellow servant and , thinking the bouse was on fire , they gave the alarm , and ran down stairs with their clothes boxes , but upon getting out of the house they discovered that the ricks and farm buildings were on fire . On the arrival of the engines it Was found that four hay ricks and four corn ricks were on flre ; the cow-bouse , ciderhouse , and mill , and the barn , with its contents , burnt down , and the stable destroyed . By ten o ' clock m the morning tbe fire was subdued , and then it was discovered that the destruction was most extensive . A most deplorable sight too met the eye ia some remains of a travelling tinker , named Paregriue Morgan , an old man commonly caflei "Tinker Parry , " who having
been permitted to sleep in tbe outbuilding , was burned to death . , It waa some time before it could be ascertained whether the remains Were these of a human bei i'g or not , the head having dropped off , and only the lower part of the body , which waa completely charred , bong left ,- these were found near tae pigs , wnicli , to tbe amount cf ten , were likewise destroyed , and it Appeared as if the unfortunate old man , on being brous&a by tbe fire , bad endeavoured to escape is that direction . ; On Friday an inquest was held upon the body , aud' tUe jury , after some deliberation , returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown , in having feloniously set fire to certain Duildinzs , thereby causing tbe death of the said Peregrine Morgan . "— Hereford Journal .
Incendiarism . —A serious fire , which there is no doubt was the work of an incendiary , broke out in tbe stackyard or Mr . Cook Faulkner , at tho Castlefarm , Tatttrsall , on Saturday : night last . The fire was discovered about halt-past eleven o ' clock , and it is supposed that two or three stacks in different parts of the yard were fired at the same lime , as the whole were in a blazs at once . There was a large concourse of people , who rendered all the assistance in their power ; but in spite of their efforts the fire was not got under until nearly eight o ' clock on Sunday morning . The property destroyed ( 11 large stacks of grain ) is said to amount to £ 1 , 300 , or £ 1 , 400 , and was insured for only about half its value .

DESPERATE CONFLICT BETWEEN TvTO TIGERS — The Zoological Society has recently experienced a seven
loss in their collection of carnivorous animals . On tho completion of the new range of dens just erected in the gardens of the Regent ' s-park , three fine Bengal tigers were turned into one of the cages , where they lived most amicably together for two or three days , until the tigress suddenly conceiving some cause of offence against one of her male companions , seized him by the throat with her powerful jawf and held him firmly , in spite of bis fearful struggles , until the poor beast expired ia that deadly embrace . It was with great difficulty that a keeper , who came up at tbe time and endeavoured to prevent the catostrophe , could extricate the mangled carcase from the gripe of the ferocious beast .
Heartless Brutality . —On Saturday an inquest waB held on board the Thames East- Indiaman , new lying in the Eoat India Docks , on the body of a Lascar seaman , named Mamarie , aged thirty-six , alleged to have died from want of medical assistance . Tha stench emitted from the cabin in which the body lay and in which the Lascar slept during the voyage , Was so great , that the jury were unable to remain in it mora than a few seconds . The Thames was the property of Mr . Greek , of Bristol . On leaving Calcutta there were ninety-five Lascars on board , bat twenty-fire bad died from scurvy and dissentery on tbe voyage homewards The surgeon on board left the ship along with the captain on her reaching Margate , without providing medical treatment for any of the crew who might be tdefe .
The Lascars lived on fiah , rice , and split peas , bat baa no meat The deceased bad been ill about four days , and on Friday was found dead in bed- Several of the Jury severely animadverted on the treatment the Lascar seamen received , and tbe Coroner said it was the duty of the owners to provide medical assistance , and should , death ensue in consequence of not having it , they were guilty of manslaughter The chief mate , in reply to the question , said there were twenty Lascars now ill on board without medical attendance , and it was nofc unusual for a great many Lascars to die during the voyage . They have no hammocks to lie upon , but only rugs , which they find themselves . Mr . H . Bloomfield , surgeon , said he had been on board the vessel , and had seen the body . He waa of opinion that consumption was the cause of death .
He had examined all the crew , but there vras no evidence of dysentery being prevalent on board . With the exception of about four , nearly the whole were suffering from scurvy , four or five of them so bad that he could remove their teeth with the greatest ease . This , be should say was caused by diet . The inquest waa adjourned . At tbe adjourned inquest the following verdict was returned— " That the deceased had died a natural death , by the visitation of God ; but the jurors considered there was a great degree of inattention on the part of the managers of the ship , in not providing medical attendance on the arrival of the ship at the East India Docks , and also a place distinct from the parfc of the ship occupied by the deceased and other Lascars , which was found to be in au unwholesome and filthy state .

London Corn Exchange , Mokday , Nov . 20 . — The returns of English Wheat in the past week shew very moderate arrivals , while the supplies ot all other Grain have been limited . The number of samples of home-grown Wheat fresh np from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk , being comparatively trifling , and the attendance of fcoth London an 4 country millers good ; the demand for that article , particularly for selected qualities of both red and white ( which formed but a small portion of the supply ) was steady , at prices fully equal to , but at nothing beyond those obtained on this day se nnigbt , and at which nearly the whole was disposed
of . The few transactions in fine foreign Wheat wera concluded at late rates ; but that in bond was a mere drug , though not cheaper . The sappty of Bwley being more than adequate to meet ths wants of tha dealers , tbe sale for all kinds w .-ia heavy , and prices had a downward tendency . The Malt trade was again inactive , yet we can notice no alteration in the quotation . From all quarters , especially from Ireland , the arrivals of Oats have been scanty . Good Corn was in demand at full prices , but other qualities commanded very little attention . New Beans moved off freely ; old qualities slowly , at late ra t . es . Peas and Flour were dull , at last week ' s figures .
London Shitbfield Market , Mondat 20 .- — Notwithstanding the atteadance of buyers was , on the whole , numerous , the beef trade was in a very sluggish state , and the prices declined quite 2 d per gibs ; the highest figure obtained for the best Scots not exceeding 3 s lOd per 8 Ibs , and mush difficulty was experienced in effecting a clearance . The number of Sheep amdunted to a full average , but there was a scarcity of really prime old Downs aniocgst them . That description Sold , though slowly , ai last Monday ' s quotations , of from 48 to 4 B 4 d per 81 bs ; but all other breeds were 2 d per 81 bs lower . Calves came rather firmly to hand , while the
Veal trade ruled dnll at a depression of 2 < i per 81 bs . Prime small Porkers were in demand ; but all other kinds of Piga were amending . Nearly 280 large Hogs were received from Ireland via Bristol . It being now proved , beyond a doubt , that foreign stock cannot be profitably imported , the attention of those entrusted in the market is now scarcely ever directed to such imports . We may remark , however , that a few sheep and beasts have arrived since our last , from Spain and Germany , but they have been mostly disposed of in eome of tbe country fairs . We have not seen a single head hero for some wueks .
Borough Hop Market . —The supplies of yearling Hops aro ttill tolerably extensive , yet the demand , owing to the low duty officially declared , is active , and , in some instances , further advanced rates have been obtained for fine coloury samples .

The best samples maintain their previous value ; but all other qualities command little attention .
Tallow . —This market continues firm , although the dstuaud is n > t very encouraging . There are buyers , for all the year , at 4 la 8 d on the spot , and * 52 s for Feb . and March at 42 j 9 d . The stock is heavy , but this arises from the circumstance of the vessels , ginerallly , having made a quick passage . The shipping season was nearly closed at St . Peteraburgh on the 7 th instant . Ihe quantity of Ttillow actually on board vessels to this aate was 120 . 191 casks , against 102 , 847 last year , and 128 . 661 in 1841 . Town Tallow is plentiful , and the aet price for cash is 433 . Wool Markets . —Very limited imports of either foreigner colonial Wools have taken place in the past week . We are without the declaration of any public sales ; while the demand , by private contract , is steady , at fully previous rates .
Manchester Corn Mabket—Saturday , Nov . 18—A firmer feeling was apparent in the trade during the we- k , and rather a better demand for Fi our in constquence , at about the previous currency . There was also an improved inquiry for Oatmeal without change in value .

There was a fair demand fur Flour , at former prices , which could not * however , be exceeded . In Oats and Oatmeal a moderate amount of business was done , but the extreme rates previously quoted wete not obtainable . Beans may be noted Is per quarter dearer .

The
policeman accordingly called out— " What do you want there ? " when a strange grunting noise was heard , and the policeman entering the building a large sow , which had broken , through the garden fence and taken up her lodgings in the larder , rushed at him with great fury with her month wide open . The policeman / and the servants instantly took to their heels , the latter towards the kitchen and the policeman into the garden , followed by the sow , who chased him several times round the garden , and at length , to gat rid of his assailant , he ran down the kitchen , stairs , and in doing so > fell down , the sow rolling over him to the bottom .
