Of these there aTe fifty in the cabin , the others being intermediate and steerage passengers ; the latter being , as usual , poor agricultural labourers with their families , from the neighbouring coantitfB . Uwing to the harvest operations happily going on nnlnterrnptedly in our own country , the number of steerage passengers per the Hendrik Hudson is far below the nsnal average .

      Melascholt Dejth op thb Daughter of Victqb Hugo asd heb Hcsiasd . — We find the fol lowing distressing account in the Journal du Havre of Tuesday : — " A sad event , which will fill with monrning a family dear to literary France , fcas this morning sfiheted our population . It is another instance of the danger of the navigation of tailing btats on rivers , and against which , in this case , the experience of an old captain was of no avail . Yesterday , about noon , M . Pierre Tacquerie , an old captain , and a merchant of Havre , who resided at Yillequier , at his property , on the banks of the Seine , having business at Caudebec , resolved to make this little trip by water , snd being familiar with the navigation of the river , and the mode of handling boatp ,

      he took with him in his boat , which had two lug sales , his young son , aged ten years—his nephew , M . C Yac ^ tterie— and the young wife of the latter , the daughter of M . Victor Huko , to whom he was not long since married . The boat , which left Villeqmer with the ebb tide , was met at about a quarter to one by the Petite Emma steamer , Capt . Durasan , who , on losing sight ot her , went to Villequier to take in a pilot . Hardly half an honr had elapsed when intelligence arrived that a boa * , bad been upset on the opposite bank , called the Des d'Ane . Assistance was instantly despatched , but it arrived only in time to witness the irreparable misfortune that had taken place . The boat was liken aback , and the sheets ¦ weie imprudently mado fast . On her being righted , there were found inside a cannon ball and a large stone , which had been used as ballast , and the dead body of M . Pierre Vacquerie , with the head hanging over the side . The three other persons had

      disappeared . It was supposed at first that M . C Vacquierre , being an excellent swimmer , had , whilst endeavouring to save bis wife and his relations , been carried further ; but , as Botbing appeared on the surface of the wat ^ r , a net was thrown in , and the ground dragged . The first time it was pulled np it contained the lifeless body of the unfortunate lady , which was taken on shore , and placed on a bed . At the moment when Captain Durason , who has com municated these details to us , quitted the lamentable scene , the drag net had been again used , and it was presumed , from the maiCBTeriDS of the boats , that the bodies of the other two victims had been recovered . Madame Victor Hngo received this morning , at Havre , where she haB been residing some time with her two other children , the news of the terrible calamity that has befallen her . She set out immediately for Paris . M . Victor Hago is travelling . It is believed that he is at La Roehelle . "

      Fatal Duel . —We have received the following from Baden Baden , dated the 2 ud instant : — A heavy ^ nd painful sensation of gloom has keen cast over tnis otherwise gay and animated spot by a duel , which took place this afternoon across the Wurtembnrg frontier , between a young Russian officer of the name of Ytsefkine , and a German oiBcer of Carlsruhe , of the name of Gohler , which duel termmati-d in the death of the former . The canse of difference was this : —M . Gohler hadTefused to fight with a il . Haber , a ivlation of the banker of this place , for reasons which his iVllow-officers considered sufficient to warrant this refusal . This affair was warmly taken up by some young Russian here , who espoused the part of M . Haber , considering

      him badly used . M . Ve ? efkine put himself particularly forward , and unfortunately went so far as to put up some abusive placards penned by Haber , rt fleeting on the conduct of M . Gohler , who was detained by military dnty at Carisruhe . He , however , obtained a conge ., amvea . here last night , and Fought an imeiview with V < ac'kiue , who refused to fight unless Gohler first accepted the challenge of Haber . M . Gehler , exasperated , threatmed to strike him , whereupon a dnel was agreed to ; not an ordinary * affair of honour , ' but a duel a mort , each to have two pistols , and the affair cot to terminate until one waa put hors de combat . The second of the Russian was a fellow-countryman , and the oiher a Spaniard . They proceeded this morning to

      Carlsruhe , and crossed the frontier into Wurtembnrg . The principals were placed at twenty paces , to advance within ten . The first shot was fired by Yesefkine , which teok effect in the brea 3 t of his adversary , high up under the collar-bone . Gohler returned the shot without effect ; the Russian then discharged his second pistol , missing his adversary , whose second pistol bung fire three different times . From pain and loss of blood he was staggering , and scarcely able to bear up , but his second having handed him a freshly loaded pistol , he fired , and Vesfef kine receiving the ball thraugh the arm into his breast , fell dead without uttering a word . Had his adversary fallen , be was to have fought a * ecoud duel v ? iih M . Saracbaga , the second of Gohl « r .

      The latter was immediately transported to Carlsruhe , where he lies in a most dangerous state . The bodj ol Yesef kine was brought hither thiB evening by his second , who kas flsd to France ; but it has since been taken back to Rastadt . The conduct of the police in this affair has been most culpable , and baffles conjecture , as they had cogn i zance of the placards , wHeh they toie down , and besides , a short time back interfered to prevent the same M . Yesefkine from riskitg his life alone in a balloon ( in which M . liartat , serunaut , ascended , ) for a bet of 5 uO francs with an American gentleman . You can

      easily conceive how this most sad affair has chocked all spirit of gaiety in this place , and cast a gloom ever it which will not be dispelled this season . It is the second dnel within three weeks . 21 . Vesefkitu was a young man of twenly-eight , tall , elegant , aRo brave ; he had served in the Circassian war with distinction . He is the last of four brothers , who have all met untimely ends . One was killed in a duel , a second in battle , a third by an accident , and now this last snrvivor has fallen to complete the nnmber . He fought a duel here last year with M . de Shin Bern . For the truth of the foregoing details I can vouch , as I am acquainted with all the parties . "— GaUgrumi .

      The Ghost of a RECiciDE .--On Tuesday night last , about half-past eleven o ' clock , the people residing in Lawton-street , Conglcton , were alarmed by loud screaming , and cries of murder from the inmates of the House of Mr . Khrinks . The noise rontinned to increase , till the police arrived , who burst open the door ; when they were informed that shortly after ike family had retired to rest , they were awakened by loud noises in the house , and on looking oni of bed perceived the tall figure of a man fluting about the room . They supposed it was no

      other i nan tho apparition of the notorious President Bradshaw , come to revisit his former dwelling . Ho was , in his day . Mayor of Congleton , and was the judge who condemned the unfortunate Charles I . to be beheaded . The inmates were much terrified , and roared out lustily ; on which the mysterious visitor unceremoniously departed . The police , aided by some members of the family , commenced a most dihgont search ; but everything was found as they bad left it , perfectly safe and secure . The general impression in Congleton consequently is that " the house is haunted . "—Macclesfield Chronicle ,

      A pew days ago , the Isle of Tiree , near Dum fries , was visited by a shoal of whales , which were no sooner observed than several boats put out to sea to surround them . " The " leaders" were shaving a creek , when a native , Mr . D . MacleaB , who chanced to be riding by , jumped off his horse , taking with him the bridle and his trusty dirk . It is well known that if one whale bleeds , and is stranded , the rest of the shoal , by some fatality , follow , and are easily secured . Mr . Maclean seeing the leader quite close , jumped upon its back , and Blabbed it in the belly . The moment the monster took it in the saline element it turned belly up . Donald put his bridle about its tail , and swam with it to an adjacent boat . In this manner the unequal fight was carried ou for about an hour , when Mr . Maclean , after having secured eleven whales , felt exhausted , and had to give up the contest .

      Frightful Accident—On Monday afternoon , between one and two o'clock , a dreadful accident occurred in Cateaton-street . It appears that the foreman of the carpenters employed in the erection of the premises at the corner of Milk-strset was proceeding to measure some work on a scaffold four stories high , and in stepping from one portion of the work to another , holding on by a half brick projecting from the building , the brick gave way , he overbalanced himself , and vras precipitated to the ground .

On being conveyed to the dead house , it was ascertained that they were the corpses of iwo sisters , named Essex and Mary M ' lntyre , daughters of Mr . M'Intyre , late of the Excise , and residing ou the Per ^ h-road . When found , the features of both were a good deal disfigured , which led to the supposition that they had been a long time in the water ; but this is not the case , as they were both seen on Monday last , late in thu afternoon . The cause of this lamentable event is not absolutely certain ; but the probability is that both committed self-de > truction while in a state of temporary insanity . —Dundee Herald .

      Brutal Experiments on Animals . —A late number of the Lancet contait'S a notice of certain experiments performed on cats , one of which is peculiarly brutal in its character , and not of any scientific imr . ortmce in its resuUs . A foreigner of the name of Weinhold took away the brain and spinal marrow of one of these animals , and filled up the space thus made with an amalgam of mercury , quicksilver , and zinc . L . ifo appeared to be instantly restored , the animal lift < d up its head , opened and shut its eyes , and , looking with a fixed stare , endeavoured to walk ; and whenever it dropped , tried to raise itself upon its leg-. It continued in this Btate

      pome twenty mmu'es , when it fell down aud remained motionless . Daring all th * time the animal was thas treated , the circu ' auou of ihe blood appeared to go on regularly ; thr s-jcr . tion ot the gastric juice was more than usual , aud the animal h ^ at was re-established . Although it is not expressly so stated , the cat must have b en aliv when this fellow cut away its brain and spinal marrow , or else the processes just described could uot have be ^ n reproduced ; an , d we tan easily believe ha 1 , a person capable of thas torturing an animal would not he c itate , were it not for penal restrictions , at it-pealing his scientific experiment on human creatures . — Observer .

      The late Parricide . — The following particulars appear in the Siecle ot Friday : —*• We yesterday mentioned a hornblc crime committed in the environs of Londou on Mr . C . Dada . The- murder has been imputed to the victim ' - ^ s < n , Mr . Riohard Dadd , a young painter , who had already tjeen subject to some fics ofmadne .-s ; but as the police had been unable io discover him . it was supposed he had drowned himself .

      on " TAB y Execution jn SpaIx . —Madris Apg . iT" 7 i tllose eveQt ; 3 that make an Eugiuhman tnnll with horror took place here this mornins . A battauon of the 2 nd Regiment of Infantry ( Del Principe ) , quartered at the barracks of San Francuco near the Toledo gate , mutinied last night , on account ot their not having had their diacharga , which had been repeatedly promised them . Th © battalion was u f rcelona » and was one of the first that joined in the Jato insurrection ; it had only lately arrived here . Another battalion of the same regiment is now m the Fort of Montjuich . The men rose in mutiny about one a . m ., ar . d on their Colonel , Senor Angles , proceeding there , it appears that he waa insulted , and forced to retire . It was even said that

      ho had been fired at and wounded , but this is now j denied ; however , the men , about five hundred in number , remained in a state of mutiny all night . ' Other troops were brought out ; and Narvacz him- ' self went there , and , it is said , promised them , that I if they would Jay down their arms , they should have I their licenses of leave , which was all they wanted . At half-past nine o ' clock this morning they accordingly delivered themselves up ; the men were then forced to declare who were the ringleaders , and the latter were placed under arrest . A few minutes afterwards several priests were ; introduced to confess them , and at half-past ten , five sergeants , two corporals , and one private soldier were taken out a little distance from the Toledo-gate , and there shot within sight of the barracks . 1 visited the place of

      execution an hour after : the bodies had been removed , but the wall against which they were shot was covered with blood , and here and thero in the insterstices , and on the projecting points of the scones and mortar , were fragments of flesh and hair , which the bystanders were handing round . Numbers of persons have been this morning to the place , and their " curses , not loud but deep , " rendered evident what their feelings were on the occasion . An immense display of force was made ; several battalions of infantry , and a large force of cavalry , with ten pieces of artillery , were assembled near the place of execution . The artillery was placed so as to fire upon the infantry had the latter shown symptoms of mutiny , or refused to perform the duty of

      dispatching their comrades . The artillerymen stood by their guns , with lighted matches , ready to fire at a moment's notice ; and even so the murmurs of the men could not be suppressed , and the officers were obliged repeatedly to call out for silenoe ; they were then marched by the dead bodies , and afterwards back to their quarters . A proclamation has been issued by Guernica , the new political chief , which is stuck about the streets , which merely says that Madrid remains tranquil , that " an event did occur last night at the barracks of San Francisco ; but that it was entirely connected with personal motives , and that order had been ro established . " It is expected that we shall not be long now without miiitary law being proclaimed . The Queen comes in this evening at half past six o'c ' of k .

      Dr . fc ' ruBGm's Machine for Hoisting Materials in BiriLDiNe . —Part of the machine rests upon the ground . Iho second part of it is a trestle , which may be placed upon the scaffolding of the bricklayers 5 in tho upper part of which is a wheel which corresponds perpendicularly with another wheel , attached to the principal body of the machine , resting on the ground . The wheel is put in motion by one or several men , who turn the handle by which the chain operates its rotation . Tho workmen attach their hods , full of materials , and others detach them , to carry them to the bricklayers . The empty hods are attached to the chain and then they are detached . The chain may be lengthened and shortened as necessary . When a story is added to the scaffolding , the trestle is placed upon the new story ; and the

      chain lengthened as required . This invention is to relieve the workman from tho most toilsome part of his labour by doing away with the practice of ascending the ladder , and preventing the accidents arising frem this practice . By these means building operations wil ] be carried on with greater expedition than heretofore , and it will diminish tho cost of such works , i , The hods are fastened to the chain at the rate of three in a minute ; each hod contains 16 bricks ( or the same weight in other materials , ) equal to 48 bricks in a minute , 2 , 880 an hour , 28 , 800 in ten hours , the average of a day ' s work . If the hods are placed more closely to each other on the chain , four can be affixed in a minute , 3 , 840 in the hour , 38 400 in the day . If instead of hods baskets be used the amount raised will be double ; tho above , as the handles occupy much spaoo , —Polytechnic Review .

      Lord Cardigan Again . —It appears that , on Tuesday the 29 th ult ., Lord Cardigan , being commandant of Cavalry in tho Garrison , ordered a brigade field day in the Ph « enix Park . The troops consisted of the Dragoon Guards aud the 11 th Hussars . After being upwards ot four hours mounted , during which time the men were put through all the evolutions—they returned to Barracks , and here arose the scene which has placed Lord Cardigan in another awkward dilemma . The men were dismounted , and in tne act of filing off to the stables , when his Lordship suddenly gave the command to remount . Tne whole of the eleventh were speedily in their saddles , with the exception of three officers , whose horses had

      been already removed by their grooms . After the lapse of about two minutes , Lord Cardigan rodo up to Mr . : ~ one of the senior lieutenants , and asked him , where was his horse ? He replied , his groom had gone for him . His Lordship replied smartly , " Go yourself for him . " This Mr . declined , observing calmly , as his groom had gone for the horse he would be there in a very few minutes . His Lordship repeated his command in an impassioned tone , and Mr . — made the same reply as before , upon which Lord Cardigan put him under arrest . In the course of the afternoon , the officer represented the matter to Sir Edward Blakauy , the Lieutenant General Commanding the Forces , who wrote to Mr . not to consider himself under ariest from the

      receipt of this communication ; and so rests the matter . As to the reply of Sir Edward Blakeny to Lord Cardigan , it is a secret , as his Lordship has not communicated it to any of the gentlemen of the Regiment . —Mercantile Advertizer . Landlords and Tenants in Ireland , —The Marquis of Headfort presided on Thursday at tho annual dinner of the Kells ( county of Meath ) Agricultural Sooiety . The leading gentry of tho district and many of tho farmers were present . In tho course of the evening , Mr . Naper , of Loughcrew , one of the most extensive landlords in the county , addressed the meeting on the state aud prospects of the agricultural interests in this county . " The time is come * said Mr . Naper , " when some change

      , must take place . The people must procure their rights—he meant employment , and remuneration for their labour—( hear , iiear ) . If the landlords of Ireland , or their fathers , had been too lavish upon luxuries and superfluities , the time is now come when the landlords of Ireland—ay , and of England and Scotland—ought to take the matter into consideration . He was sure many of them would cut off a portion of their superfluities , if they thought they could thereby give employment to the people . Let them attend to the matter in good time . The people are now temperate , and fitted for industry . A change is taking place—for God ' s sake , let it not be too rapid nor too alow . " Mr . Naper closed amidst the cheering of the company .

      " New System of Paying Rents . "—Under this heading the Carlow Sentinel , a Tory paper , has been publishing some announcements similar to tho following : — " On Sunday morning last , between the hours of twelve and one o ' clock , about two hundred men aud women , principally strangers in the district , proceeded to the farm occupied by a man named John Harney , near Ballon , in this county , and cut down and carried away about five acres of wheat and two of oats , before six o ' clock . The party , who were provided with horses and cars , bore off tbe crops towards Hacketstown , and have not since been heard of . This plan of evading the payment of rent , or of preventing a distress on the lands is being generally adopted , and hitherto with complete success . It therefore remains to be seen after this warning , how far tbe proprietors of land and the publio authorities can co-operate to prevent its boin ^ carried into practical effect generally . "

      Lo . mkw Corn Market , Mokday , Sept . 11 . — During * week very considerable progress was made in harvest work , and the arrivals of all grain up 10 our "i&rkot , if we except those of foreign Whfiat , were on a ver Y moderate scafe . We have received a full a vera « supply of New Wheat from E 31 ? x and Kent * Qe quality of which was iuferior . Old Wheat of home Reduce being scarce , the prices obtained were quite equ'S * & those obtained on Monday last ; but in order to ? &ct sales of new parcels the factors were compelled ts- ' satnutto a decline on previous rate 3 of from Is to 2 s . por quarter , and a clearance wa 3 not effected . In fhiStcreign Wheat a very extensive business waa transacted . There was a good supply of fine foreign Barfey , which met a elow inquiry . The Malt trade was dull . In Oats a fair amount of business was transacted . Beans , Peas , and Fiour as last quoted , with little d&ing .

      Borough an © Spitalfields—The- imports of Foreign Potatoes continue so extremelV ' small as to be scarcely worthy of notice . Froja Essex , Kent , &c . j fair average time-of-year supplies have comejto hand in condition , while the demand is firs * at from Si to 5 i 6 d per cwt . Boroi / gh Hop Markst . —Since our Jasi report four pockets of new Hops have been disposed of afc pnc « s varying from £ 7 loi to £ 8 8 s per cws . The qualify of tho Hops iti question was very &ooti , and vre Jearn ihafc picking is now becoming pretty general . From most of thehop districts the acsoants are favourable , and the duly in consequcnc 3 has advanced to ^ 150 , 000 . In old Hops scarcely any business is doing , and prices are again lower . Tallow—This market is very dull and inactive For forward delivery the price is rather higher than on the spot ; for the spring months , it is 42 d . 6 d .

      Woor , Markets— For both English and Foreign Wools there is a very steady inquiry ; and in some instances , rather improved rates have been paid for the finest combing qualities . Altogether the market ia healthy . Since our last , the imports have comprised 271 bales from Odessa ; 62 from Hamburgh ; 523-from Port Beaufort ; and 10 , 00 from Sydney . Liverpool , Corn Market , Monday , SsPt- 11 . — - Tho imports of Grain , &-4 ., since this day s& ' nnight are of very moderate amount : 3000 qrs . of Wheat and 800 qrg . of Peas are reported from Dantzig . The duty on Wheat remains &t 14 * . per quarter until Friday next , when an advance is expected . With a week of exceedingly fine weather great progress has been made in harvest operations throughout the kingdom , and prices of all descriptions ef grain have given way . The general runs of foreign Wheat have

      declined in value by 31 . to 4-.. per bushel , whilst the finer q-ualities havo receded rather more ; of the former , however , some parcels were on Friday taken on speculation , and two or three purchases were made for Ireland . A few small lots of Irish new Wheat have sold at 7 s 3 d to 7 s 6 i ; the neighbouring farmers have delivered freely at 7 s to 7 s 6 d per 701 bs ; the quality and condition of their samples generally good , some fine . No change as regards F our ; the quantity on the market small , Old Oats have been neglected , and are Id to 2 d per bushel cheaper . Prime marks of old Meal have latterly had a little more demand at 19-i to 19 s 6 d per 2401 ba ; new has sold at 223 64 to 23 s . Of new Oats we have had this week scarcely any at market ; they are quoted at 2 s 5 d to 2 d 7 d per 45 ibs . Barley , Be&iis and Peas , are each rather cheaper .

      Manchester Corn Market , Saturday-, Sept . 9 . The weather has been of the most delightful character since our last report , and we hear , from all parts , that the crops are being Becured in excellent order . During the week there was a fair consumptive demand for choice qualities of fresh manut ' aciui ed Flour , which , being scarce , readily realized our previous currency , whilst inferior descriptions were almost unsaleable . The inquiry for Oatmeal was very limited , without change in value . Of Oats and Flour , the imports from Ireland into Liverpool and

      Rubcorn are to a fair extent , but of oth ^ r articles thence and coastwise they are unimportant ; and , from foreign ports , 3008 quarters of Wheat are reported . The busimss passing in Wheat at our market this morning was only limited , and was 2 d . per ZOlbs . lower . For superfine qnalities of Flour ( of which the stocks in all hands are extremely light ) there was a moderate demand at 42-5 . to 44 s . per 28 t ) ibs . ; but iuferior sorts continued to meet a slow sale , although offered on lower terms . In Oats or Oatmeal no change was observable . New Oatmeal was saleable in retail parcels at 'Us . per 2401 bs .

      Liverpool Cattlb Market , Monpat , Sept . 11 . —We have had a heavy supply of Cattle at market to-day , which met with dull sale at a little yariation in price . Beef 4 £ d . to 5 id . Mutton 4 £ d . to 5 ^ Lamb 5 d . to 5 . } d . per lb . Number of Cattle at market : —Beasts 1533 , Sbeep 7573 . London Smitkfield Catile Market , Monday SEPr , 11 .- ^ -We have to report the arrival of a fair average supply of beasts . The beef trade was decidedly more animated than fox some weeks past , and in a few instances a trilling advance waa obtained for the primest qnalities . However , the highest quotation obtained for the best Soots did aot exceed 43 . per 81 bs ., bat at that figure a good clearance was

      ea 9 ily effected . The numbers of Skeep were good , but , by no means extensive . There was certainly a better feeling in the Mutton trade , and the currencies obtained on this day sc ' nnight were freely supported —those of the best old Downs realizing from 4 * . to 4 a . 4 d . per 8 ! bs . Lambs were in good supply , aud the quotations bad , in some instances , an upward tendency . The Veal trade was a » ain steady , and the best Calves produced 4 s . 8 J . per 8 lbs . Pigs were in moderate supply , and the quality of the stock was inferior . In store stock scarcely anything was doing The imports of Foreign Beasts , since Monday last , have beau confined to twenty-five , into London , by the Batavia steamer , from Rotterdam .
