      yRAKCB . —The London Times of Saturday says , — f An exceedingly-well-written , though of course ito * Bfipublican , article on the state and . prospects of Spain , appears ia ^ the National of Wednesday .. The writer ridicules the declaration of the Queen ' s j jnsioTlty , assumed by the commentators- as the ¦ panaeea for all iha evils of that country , andpretEets thai " the dmsioas that hare so long existed , snd wMA sail eristyin Spain will become more decided under the administration of the Council of Ministers ? and with this sdditional inconvenience— j that "the ( Jueen , who has not hitherto been regarded as connected with politics , will hereafter necessarily be identified with the icts of her GoTeramenL The -writer deduces from these facts a coimctloB that Spam and Portugal -will liltimately resolve into a Federal Republic "

      Tss WxiiHEB has been exceedingly cold at Paris . At six o ' clock on Tuesday morning the thermometer ( Fahrenheit ) marked only 27 £ degrees of temperature . On Wednesday morning it was still colder . 3 The weather was , howeTer , remarkably fine . ! feK ¥ Ki 3 Ha . —Ai six o'clock on Wednesday morning the thermometer ( . centigrade ) marked three degree&S-lOtbs below zaro { about 2 C of Fahrenheit ); at twelve o ' clock , 7-J 0 ths abeve zero { or Si of Fah-Tenheit ) . After sn extremely cold night & heavy fell of snow -set in in Paris on Thursday morning . -which , continued through the greater part of the day .

      Accounts from the departments announce that the rivers , which wore swollen by the late rains , are gradually falling . The Rhone has nearly re-entered its banks , and the Durance has altogether-oo&b so . 3 ? ortacate } y , i 2 io 3 e innndanons have been nf short duration , which eirearasUs ; ce lessened the amount Of carnage , though still the tffcet 3 of the disaster are "very considerable . The road between Axles and Tarascon remains broken tip in sot less than « levea places . The loss occasioned by the carrying away of ihe wooden-bridge at Aries 13 estimated at ¦ 40 $ 0 OL The chief part of it stopped at the little island of La Capa , where it has been firmly fixed . I * is Baid that the bridge of boats at Saint Gilles has been also carried cE . The carnage caused in the ^ neighbourhood of Pertuis , by the rise of the -Durance , is incalculable . Several paints in the

      Haute-Pyrenees have also suffered exceedingly . The Larros spread over a vast Itngth of country , efivering the fine plain of Ozon , and threatening the little town of 5 ournsy with destruction . HappDy the waters began to subside just at the moment when . the danger appeared soft imminent . The handsome bridge of Gbelle was carried away , when - on the point of being completed . In three days-more the last stone would have been put on . Fortunately no lives were lost in tins Beighbaarhood . The com-Saiine of Lanobre , and several others of the canton of Taiives , lavs been much damaged by the late rains , &s well as by the high wind which afterwards arose . The navigation of the Allier has been interrupted by the melting of the snow in the mountains ofClermont . . Abont twenty coal-lighters have been wrecked along its banks . —GalignanVs Messenger .

      Thk Ikphjsoxed Bepcbucass . —DuriBg several < lays the Republican prints of Paris have been appealing against the species of imprisonment to which the state prisoners axe subjected , and which is described as a return to all the iorrors of the feudal times . The National ha 3 the following article on the political prisoners at Mont Saint Michel : —** The ministers persist in keeping silence < sa . fee barbarities inflicted upon the prisoners at Mont St . MicheL As they are obstinate in holding their tongues , we axe eqnaEy determined to % pe » k en . If 0 one most be suffered to remain in donbi as io the illegal and abominable acts of violence committed in this frightful abode . Public indignation

      must be called to the relief of violated law and insalted humanity . The Deputies must be enlightened fcj incontesuble facts 02 the results of the cellular system , as applied to political prisoners . - These facts have already been stated by ns , and repeated by several journals . We return to them again , " and shall continue to do so us til our voice has resounded throughout the whole world . Scarcely four years have revolved since the prison of Mont Saint Michel received about thirty young men , all full of life and health . At the end of this short period , what , we ask , is the result of the treatment they iave been made to nndergo f Official returns give ss the following answer : Stenble has cut his throat with a razor ; . Bezenau * has hung' Jumself 5 n his dungeon ; Jab&sse has twice attempted ± 0 poison himself ; Austen , Bardon , -Charles , and Boudm ,

      have all since their confinement here become madmen , _ Tno others have fallen into a state bordering upon idioiism . Thus the first result i =, nine of these prisoners iave been driven to suicide , or lost in mental alienation . There are others who have eoJ jet fallen , but who are sfibcted with -diseases that ¦ mil adhere to them throughout their lives . These diseases would have quickly terminated their existence If they had not i >? en taken irom ihi 3 horrible prison . Tans the government b& 3 been obliged to transfer Batbes to Kismes ; Petremann , Yiicoq , and Fcmbertean , to Donllens ; Dubourdeau . to Bordeaux ; Duponr , to Paris ; and Hubert , first to a hospital , and afterwards to St . Pelagie . Such is the balance sheet of Mont St . MicheL For some , death and madness—for others , diseases which threaten their existence , andrwhich are for the most part incurable . And aB this in less than four . years

      J Ttsulsts' Peabs . —The . French tjovernjneiit Appears to be ineessani and ss active in its prepare tons to resist internal enemies . The only reason suggested for this empressement " say onr private letters , "is iha 1 a movement , or perhaps more than one movement , may be expected to take place on the demise of His Maj ^ -cy King Philli ppe . The Re forme anentions that the P&iace of the Toilleriea would be guarded next Trinter by sixteen military posts , HXty-five centinels , two pickets of reserve s : auoned

      in the galleries of tne Pavilion de l'Horloge , by a pest of aides-de-camp encamped at the entrance of the King ' s private apar « nen ; s , and by fifty police agents , dressed in plain clothes , who are- to be renewed 4 &Uy , lest they should be remarked or lecognizad . Independency of that great military display , the bsrracks of the Q , ui d'Orsay , of xhe ¦ Assumption , and Carrousel , which surround and adjoin the Tniileries , are night and day to held formidable detachments in readiness to take arms at the first signal of danger .

      The Paris Commerce contains a long article on the decay of French commerce , which that paper contends will end in iLe toial loss of all the foreign trade of France , and calling upon Ministers to apply an instantaneous remedy 10 the evil . SPAIN . —The Press . —Several arrests took place < m ; he evening of the 14 ih . A coffee-house keeper , implicated in the murder of General Q , ae 3 ad& , in 2835 , was among the individuals againsi whom arrest

      "warrants had been L ^ aed , as compromised in the attempt against the life ef General Narvatz . The doctrine of eampiic ' Ie morale had been invoked wiih Tespeet to the Opposition journalists . Tiiree writers of tbe-Eo ) del Cometcio , and the principal editors of the Espeeiador ^ had been apprehended as participa tors in that act . This las : journal could not aecird ingly be published on the IS- ' a . Those wrhers had teen removed to a barrack , where they were proviidonaDy eon&ned ,

      \ ) n tins , the Morning Chronicle remarks ;— "Thns the la ^ t Tesdga of liberty which remained to the Spaniards has be ? n swept away , and the liberty of the press trodden under the hoofs of its dragoon inters , as its municipal , clecior&l , and provincial liberties have been trodden down before . Whilst , in the face of this , tbe infant Qaeen is brought forth in procesdon , made to take an unmeaning oath , promising and guaraniing constitnxicnal rights in a country governed after the system of Ferdinand . That monarch and his cosneiijors never ssvayed a sceptre with more treachery , cruelty , and contempt of the ngh ; s of the cinz ^ u and the freeman , than Karvatz , Ulozagfc , and consorts . " The St ^ sish okfjchb Baseti , who was in the carnages wjih I ^ arvatz wnen the shots were fired , has janes died of his wounds .

      Swsdej * . —Stockholm , Nov . 7 th . —A dreadful fire at Wtxia broke out on ibis day se ' nnight , n the most densely inhabited part of the town , during a violent storm , till the subsiding of which it could not be checked . In eighteen hours it destroyed fourfifths of the town ; so that of tbe new houses built since the last fire only eight r . main 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 beeu formed , and a deputation arrived yesierdsy and immediately had an audieuce of the -K'ing , who assured them that he had already called a Council of State on the subject , and obtained a remittance of thirty thousand dollars , which had been immediately sent by the courier to the governor of that province , who has al » o 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 PariB Bourse , on Friday and Saturday , that the French Government had received accounts from Naples of a serious nature . Disturbances wt re said to have broken out in ihe neighborhood of Naples , and in Calabria . A letter from Bologna of the 6 th inst ., states that M . Barrette of Ravenna had been arrested for the part he took in the laie disturbances . He was for some time settled at Bologna . A quantity of arms and ammunition were fonnd 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 Malta 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 tbe French Government has already so far complied witn it as to remove all Italians from Corsica to ihe interior of France . The two brothers , Muratori , the Counts Beucoli and Righi , the Marquis of Mellara , and several other refugees have been ordered to ChaKU Rouge . Paiehuo , Octobeb 24 . — The troops in the garrison here are kept in constant exerciEe , particularly at night . At such an exercise and sham-fights several soldiers had loaded their muskew 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 ofSoers are mentioned as having become the victims of their men , but tbe full truth will never come to light .

      " The reports , " says the Commerce . " which got into circulation relative to disturbances in Sicily on the arrival of the Neapolitan steamer Ntsitano at Toulon are likewise mentioned in a letter from Legtorn of the 9 th instant . The Government was making preparations to send reinforcements to that island . Some demonstrations were apprehended in Calabria and Ihe Abrczzi , where tbe events of Bologna had produced a deep impression . The accounts from the Iloman States , " observes the same journal , " are of a painful natnre . Among the persons lately arrested at Bologna is M . Barbetti , ef the Legation of Ravenna , for some years a resident at Bologna . Arms , ammunition , and papers paid to be of importance , were discovered in his possession . Also a fireman , who was the bearer of a number of revolutionary proclamations . We arc a ^ ured that the Military Commission will shortly sit on the trial of the political prisoners . "

      GREECE . —The Greek Observer of th * 30 th ult . publishes an address of the Alini . » ters of King Otho to the Greeks , in which they inform them of the measures they had adopted for insunng public order in the capital , where the depnties w < ro about to meet and to deliberate on the constitution which was intended to guarantee the rights of tbe nation ana of the throne . The deputies are called upon to « et the txample of respect for the law , asd not to brhig with them armed servants , according to an old practice , little in accord with the liberty and dignity ol their deliberations .

      The German Universal Gazette gives a letter from the banks of the Spree , of the 9 th November , which states that the Emperor of Russia wa 3 not content with refusing his sanction to the new state of affairs in Greece , bat that he proposed to address an enezxelic protest againgt the revolution of September , to all the European powers . The letter adds that it is not supposed that thi 3 protest will lead to a war in Europe . The Augsburg Gazette says that the Bavarians still in Greece are dying of hunger , and that money is to be sent to their relief .

      Gkeece . —A letter from Athens , of Oct . 31 , s 3 ys ™ General Coletii entered the port of the Puaeas at half-past nine o ' clock this morning , under salutes from the Greek , French , English , Russian , and Austrian ships of war . He was met on landing by an immense assemblage of the people , shouting ' Long live Coletti ; long live the good Patriot ! ' The following ia the result of the elections : —Out of the 225 ilembtrs of the Assembly , about 90 arc Napists ( Russian party } , and 135 Consiitmionalists , of whom at least 80 acknowledge General Coletti as their leader .

      Ttn . seY . —Coxstjlxtisople , Ocr . 28 th . —JJ . de Bonrqueney has delivered a uote to the Poite , conveying in the strongest termB the sentiments of his g ^ YirjjEDent upon the execution of the Armenian . Why did not M . de Bourquency present his " note " or u-e his diplomatic lLflaenee in conjsnetion with Sir S . Causing , before the Armenian ' s execution 1 His *\ uot «> " is pare humbug now . The Journal de Constantinople has endeavoured , in a series of articles , to tnconrage the Turks in their anti-Christian persecutions . Sultan Mabmoud had laboured sucpe % sfally to remove ihe Fana-iicism and prejudices which , during agee , bad drawn an impassable barrier between the Mahommedan world and Christendom . During bis Ions ; reign ChriBtians were no longer persecuted for their religion . By the introduction of judicious reforms , he endeavoured to reconcile his Mohammedan snbjects to his ownliberalisy of sentiment . The best proof of hiBBUCceBS

      was the interest which the state of Tork « v -suddenly created in tae public mind in Europe , and tbe earnest desire which was displayed by tho 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 aet—an act both nncalled for and unnecssary—the present government ha 3 endangered the posiiioa Soltan Mahiosd had so earnestly endeavoured to assume . And this act is accompanied by other instances of persecution and fanaticism , and has served to awaken a spirit of intolerance which will lead , unless speedily repressed , to even more serious resnlts . Those , therefore , who would encourage the Turkish Government , by their approval , to persist in a conrse which must end in the destruction of this empire , are no true friends of Turkey , but are serving tbe ca ^ se of her most dangerous enemy .

      Letters from Mosul informs us that the Kurds are in possession of the Tivaree couatry , and that the Patriarch is still in Mosul . The order for tbe liberation of the Ne 3 torians sold into slavery , for the restoration of the Patriarch , and for the withdrawal of the Surds , cad not yet reached Mosul .

On Wednesday morning the Sak-an visited , as is customary , the mosque of Sultsn Achmed , accompanied by BLiza Pacha , the ministers of state , and all the great officers of the empire . This precession 33 one of the most remarkable ceremonies of the year , and always attracts a large coaco ^ rse of spectators . Letters from Bagdad mention some fresh instances of aggression by theKards on the Persian front Jert near Suleimaiiiyah .

The reason given , for this holdinfebaok is , that the Republicans would not aid inAj&fflH&noDt suggested by Russia . Everything was , ffiijMmu prepared for a general Italian insurreptiot ^ PhO movement waa to commence in Naples , where it was expected a portion of the army would lead or immediately enter into it .

Li Jeune Iialie like la J curie France , would not promote the mow aichial views of any man ; and consequently the revolt in Italy miscarried .

      POLAND , —More Russian Tyranny . —Letters from the frontiers of Poland announce that the Emperor of Russia intended shortly to publish an ukase commanding tha Catholio inhabitants of Podolia , Volhinia , and : the Ukraine , either to embrace the Greek religion or quit the country , and allowing them only two yeaTS to comply with that order . At the expiration of that dolay , 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 Muscoy ize tha Polish nationality . The idea is characteristic of a barbarous age , and of an antiquated despotism , but itt is not unworthy of tbe Emperor Nicholas .

      RUSSIA—A Company has been formed in St . Petersbugh for constructing a railroad which will unite the Don with the Volga . This undertaking will be of immense benefit to the countries through which tne road will ran , for they are very fertile ; but agriculture languishes in them from tha excessive cost and delay in transporting its produce . SOU'iH AMERICA—The diplomatic relations between Br&zila and the Banda Oriental llepublio have been again placed upon an amicable footing . The following are extracts from the New York papers : Intelligence from Laguna to the 4 ' . h inst ., was received in New Orleans on the 23 rd . Active preparations had been for some time making , and hostilities were about to be recommenced between Mexico and Yucatan .

      We have also dates from Tobasco ( 0 the 24 th Sept . The port of Laguna was closed , at least aB far as the commerce of the department of Yucatan was concerned . The yellow fever was committing great ravages among the troops stationed in San Juan Baptista . The state of Tobasco , at the last Bitting of its Junta departmental , had proclaimed for Santa Anna , " the well deserving of his eonntry ; the virtuous and talented man , the hero of Vera Cruz and Tampico , as their choice for President of the regenerated Mexican Republic .

      Life is Chisa . —Extract of a letter , dated April 17 , 1843 : —" Tnings are going on very well in China at present . The nsw settlement at Hong Kong is springing up as if by magic , and tho place ( where two years a >; o I was on shore with many others of her Majesty's loy * l subjects to hoist the union jack , and "which was the stony side of a hill ) is now 1 ull of fine stone buildings of the handsomt st style . We have been cruising np and down the Chinese coast for the last three months—that is to say , we had a spell at Hong Kong , Amoy , and Cha s an , at which latter place we are now , but how long to remain is uncertain—I hope not through the summer , for narmg had the experience of two Bummers here before , it is one of the last places I wibh to remain at ; it is

      intensely hot , but the worst of it is to think what a burial-plase it has been to so many hundreds Of our poor fellows employed in this Chinese warfare We are about to make up a _ party for a trip to Ning-Po , which is only thirty miles from Chusan , and tho mandarins aro very civil and attentive to all visiters now , and give a * turn-out' to all parties . Ho end to shark-fin soup , seaweed stews , baked puppies , &c . I dined with a rich old merchant at Amoy last January ( it being their New Year ' e-day on the 8 th of that me nth ) , when we had all sorts of playacting , called by them ( and not a bad name either ) _ sing-song , performed entirely by boys , and soma of them made very pretty girls , much better than any

      real female i have Been ia China , and the whole affair wlfet off very well indeed . At dinner I expected as a&ual to have thirty or forty dishes laid out , and had been practising myself at chop-stick for a few hours to get my hand in , when , to my surprise , I found the old fellow ( who was togged out very gay with a tail five fee * , long ) had every ihing in our lash ' . on , and there was no end of beer and port wine , roast pigs , and capons , and English potatota , to say nothing of knives and forks . We drank the Queen , and then the old gentleman proposed the Enipuror of China , and hoped ail " tlw ' fighting pigeon ' would be over , as he thought we kn < w a great deal more about it than his countrymen dtd , at least a * , present .

      CiPTuns oy a Slayer . —Extract of a letter dated H . M . S . Fisguard , Rio , September 11 th : — "The Frolic arrived here last ni ^ ht , with a slaver she had captured off Cape Foio , having on board three hundred slaves , men , women , and children . This slaver was enly about double the size of one of our launches , and the poor unfortunate beings were packed in her like a 8 many herring 9 would be in a cask . It appears that they had been stowed in like this for the space of forty-five days . Death had happily released a groat many of them from their torture . But oh , the sight of the living masses of corruption was enough to strike terror into the morit flinty heartas ihoy were covered with sores from head to

      , foot . They were , as eoon as possible relieved from their forty-five day region ^ being taken out , and placed on board the receiving ship for that purpose . You can more easily imagine than I can describe the skeleton frames of these poor wretches , when I tell you that two hundred and twenty of them were taken at once into our launch , and conveyed to tho receiving ship . Our men really sickened at tho spectacles they had to behold in the ehapo of humanity ; and I was glad when the last had been taken out , for I never beheld such a sight before . There were among them forty female children , supposed to be ujider seven years of age , and fortyfive males under ten . "—Hants Independent .

      UNITE © STATES . —The efforts in favour of the Irish Repeal movement in the United States , says a New York paper , appear to have slackend very much of late , Jast before the elections , by way of conciliating the Irish voters , we had expected a very general dtmenstration , but with the exception of an isolated tffort in Albany , we have seen nothing worthy of notice . The New York Herald of the 1 st inst . concludes a brief argument on the subject , of repeal of the Irish Union , in which the warning interest in tha ;

      subject is accounted for by reference to the alleged injustice of O'Connell towards the states , with the following va £ tie statement : — We have every reaaon to believe , therefore , that some general organization 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 centre of a great-revolutionary movetneut , equaliy embracing England , France , Italy , and Spain . Such , at least , is our recent information . "

      The Elections . —The papers contain much of the speculation on the coming elections . Tne friends of Mr . Clay had bad a meeting in New York , and each party were loud ia the praises of their respective candidates . A" Gentleman" 0)—A Mr . Henry S . Ballard , a merchant of New York , was stabbed in 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 ihe 1 st of November . The wound was inflicted with a dagger , and aimed at his heart , but the point sfruok against 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 tbe same gentlethaii a few weeks ago in the street with a horsewhip .

      Loss of the Steamer SakcH 6 aB ! 4 Z 9 AND SIXTEEN Lives . —Gn the 24 th nit ., at noon , sbe OTOSStMi the Galveston bar for this pore . On the next morn- ing , the 25 th , a considerate leak was discovered in j her hold . All the pumps were set to work ; but 1 they were able to keep her free lor a short time only , i At nine o ' clock a . m ., when about 75 miles from Gal- , veston , it having been found that the Water was gaining on the pumps , and that both wind and sea were increasing , the captain determined to run her , into the Sabine river . But believing the accomplish-, ment of even this doubtful , from the rapid manner : in which the leak increased , he concluded to run her ; on the nearest shore . He directed her course accordingly , the whole of the crew and oassengers

      being in the meantime engaged in baling her out . At half-pasi ; two o ' clock p . m ., the water , notwithstanding intir exertions , had ascended to tha fires I and the eujjine . Further efforts to counteract the ; leak were therefore unavailing , and to save thei * < lives became the concern of all on board . They , then set about making rafts of the cotton bales—four bales to a raft—and lashed together some Bpars for j other rafts . She was now sinking rapidly ; the lead was heaved , and there were found six fathoms of ] water . There was no confusion or complaining ; I all seemed to be impressed with their perilous posi- j tion , and to save their lives was the object which Orders

      engrossed their attention . were giYen to ] cast 08 the boat ' s painter , and white doing this she : sank , it being then forty-five minutes past four j o'clock in the afternoon .

George Salmon , timber merchant and veneer dealer , carrying on business at Nos . 15 and 17 , City-basin , Macclesfieldstteet , ; City-rsad . The premises were of great extent , and comprised sundry departments . The fire occurred in what is termed tbe veneer-house , situate on the western side of the yard , an i which communicated with several other buildings ; the whole having a frontage of nearly-100 feet , and a depth , of some 50 or 60 feet The Simea from the building , though lew , being almost wholly of wood , gained a rapid head , and in less than ten minutes after tbe discovery of tbe fire it bad penetrated three other buildings used as cbaise-house « , SB well as several move departments . Tbe two parish

      engines were the first to arrive , followed by the brigade engines from WhitecroBShstreet and Watling-street The names still progressing , the firemen exerted themselves ia saving a large building over the sacvpits , and a range of sheds at tbe side of the canal . Although the beat was most oppressive , yet the firemen continued to labour without intermission until half-past nine o'clock , at which hour the conflagration began to yield beneath their exertions , and in the course of another half-hour it was extingnished / but not before tbe buildincs abovementioned were a mass of ruins . Tbe total damage must amount to a considerable sum . Fortunately Mr . Salmon was insured in the County Fire-office to the amount of . £ 2 . 000 . Not the least idea can be formed ss to the origin of the fire .

The manufactory in waicu tbo COl . fllgration 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 of the locks for which they are so celebrated . In less than half an h « ur the whole of the engineroom , with its valuable machinery , was destroyed , and

      the whole of tbe pile rapidly took fire . Mr . Braid wood , with tho Watling-street engine , arrived by five o ' clock . Water having been procured after some little delay , the fury of tbe names waB subdued in a small measure -, but they substfjenUy proved to be still more fearful . By five o ' clock tbe entire building was on fire from the top to tbe bottom , and the names continued their fury until there was cot one article of a combustible character to feed them .

      Heartless Brdtalitt . —On Saturday an inquest was held on board the Themes East Indiaman , now lying in tbe East India Docks , on the body of a LascaE seaman , named Mamarle , aged thirty-six , alleged to have died from want of medical assistance . The stench emitted from the cabin in which the body lay , and in which the Lascar Blept during the voyage , waia so great , that tbe jury were unable to remain in it more than a few seconds . The Thames was the property of Me . Greek , of Bristol . On leaving Calcutta there were ninety-five Lascars on board , but twenty-five had died from scurvy and dissentery on the voyage homewards The surgeon on board left the ship along with tha captain on her reaching Margate , without providing medical treatment for any of the crew who might be sick

      The Lascars lived on fish , rice , and split peas , but had 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 Beamen received , and the Coroner said it was the duty of tbe owners to provide medical assistance , and should deatb ensue in consequence of not having it , they were guilty of manslaughter The chief mate , in reply to the question , said there were twenty I-ascars now ill on board without medical attendance , and it was not unusual for a great many Lascars to die during the voyage . They have no ham mocks to lie upon , bat only rugs , which they flad themselves . Mr . H . Bloomfleld , surgeon , said be bad been on board the vessel , and bad seen tbe body . He was of opinion that consumption was tbe cause of death *

      He had examined all the crew , but there was so evidence of dysentery being prevalent on board . With the esceptiou of about four , nearly the whole were suffering" from scarvy , four or five of them so bad that he could remove their teeth with the greatest ease . This , he should say was caused by diet . The inquest was adjourned . At the adjourned inquest the following verdict waa returned- — 11 That tha deceased bad 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 part of tbe ship occupied by the deceased and other Lascars , which was found to be in an unwholesome and ' filthy state .

      London Corn Exchange , Monday , Nor . 20 . — The returns of English Wheat in tbe past week shew very moderate arrivals , while the supplies of all other Grain have been limited . Toe number of samples of home-grown Wheat fresh up from Essex , K « nt , and Suffolk , being comparatively trifling , and the attendance of both Louden and country millers good ; the demand for tliat article , particularly far 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 ' nnight , and at which nearly the whole was disposed

      of . Tbe few transactions in fine foreign Wheat were concluded at late rates ; but tbat in bond was a mere drug , though cot cheaper . The supply of Barley being more than adequate to meet the wants of the dealers , tbe sale for all kinds was 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 Coin was in demand at full prices , but othet qualities commanded very little atten * tion . New Beans moved off freely ; oM qualities slowly , at late rates . Peas and Flour were dull , at last week ' s figures .

Nearly 180 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 .
