The Cesar, 90, screw steam line-of battle ship,' which met with so serious a mishap at her launch at Pem broke a few months since, has elteady encountered an other in her passage round to this port, or rather at the hour of her arrival here last night. She left Pembroke on Thursday afternoon last in tow of her Majesty's steamer *widens., 16, peddle frigate of 400.horee power, Captain Thomas Fisher, and the passage round to the Isle of Wight was a very faeoerable one, the weather being fine. At 7.30 last night. being in tow of the Magidenne, and rounding the Nab light, off the east end of the Isle of Wigh', the towing vessel touched the ground and got fast, sod in another minute the Cesar did the same. The place touched was the ethos; of a shoal, called the Dean, which runs off to an angle from the main land to S2ithead, bounding the channel to that anchorage. The Magicienne tired signals of distress, and the Encounter screw sloop, Captain O'Callaghan, lying at anchor at Spit head, soon went to their assistance, and the Sprightly steam-vessel, Master Commanding George Allen, was sent out of harbour for the same purpose. Captain Fisher hav ing sent a boot to the Dockyard to inform the Commander in-Chief of the accident, Captain Shepherd, of the Victory, flag Lieutenant llankey, and Mr. Jones, the dockyard I pilot, went out in the Sprightly, to aid in the get ting the two vessels to a safe anchorage. The tide when :he two ships got aground was nearly low water ; a further fall of only shout IS inches ' taking place. The Magicienne, drawing the least water. was the first vessel of the two that floated, and uo doing so she backed astern to get hold of the Casar, but the tide threw her across the latter's bows, and steaming ahead to get clear, she took the ground again. She was, however, soon afloat • second time. At about half-past 10 the tide had risen sufficiently high to float the Cesar off the shoal, when the Sprightly took her in tow, and towed her to a good and safe anchorage off Soutlasta Castle, where she cast anchor fur the night; her position being that best suited fur bringing her into harbour, which will be done either at high water to-night or to-morrow. It is not anti cipated that either the Casar er the Magicienne have in• marred much damage, for fortunately the wind was a dead calm and there was hardiy a ripple on the Stlll.lCO of the sea. At the time of Curie touching the ground, however, the weather was thick, but it subsequestiy turned out a bright starlight night. A court of inquiry is to be held on the circumstances of the accident. Toe emsar has been brought round to this port to be titted out for commissioning by Mr. Jas. Tonkin, as•istant master attendant of this dockyard, and Mr. Graham H. Hills, second master of the Neptune, 120, having a crew of 154 I men in all, lent partly from this port and partly from De r vonpltt. Daring the passage round, she has elhibited no i evidences of the disaster that occurred to her at tier launch, neither can the eye detect the slightest iodic itions of the same, whatever injuries she sustained having bccn most effectually repaired. The average speed with which she was towel round to this port was 61 knots per hour; but , under favourable circumstances it was eight knots. LOS• OF LIFE AT THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. . • - On Saturday afternoon, about kalf 7 paat 3 o'clock, an accident, by which one man has been kiiled and several others seriously injured, took place near the London termi nus of the Orcet Western Railway, at Paddington. A new engine house is in the course of erection for the Great Western Rulway Company, situate at Kensel New town, about half a mile down the line from the terminus, and bat a short distance from the ticket platform ; and on Saturday afternoon, when the workmen were fully employed in the building, a musive iron girder, from some at present unexplained cause, fell to the ground with a terrible crash, striking and crushing the men in its course to the ground. " " The greatest consternation prevailed, and the poor workmen were lying about wounded and crushed in all directions. One poor fellow, named John Draine, was found immediately under a portion of the girder, with his scalp cut completely off, his thighs broken, and otherwise seriously mutilated. It is needless to say that, when taken up, life was quite extinct, and his body was at ouce con veyed to the dead-house of St. Mary, Paddington, in the Harrow-road. Those sufferers found still alive were con. .eyed with the least possible delay to St. Mary's Hospital, where they received every attention from the medical officers of that institution. Amongst those who were more seriously injured, and who still remain inmates of the hos pital, were the following : Charles Carpenter, 1, Union-place, Paddington—Frac tured rib.. WEST SURREY. Mr. A. Ryland, the banister appointed to revise the lists of voters for the western division of the county of Surrey, held his third court on Friday last at the White horse, Dorking, and revised the lists in parishes of Abinger, Cspel, Dorking, Mickleham, Newdigate, Ockleys, and Wootton. Mr. 0. Edgar Demon, solicitor, of London, and Mr. C. J. Smith, solicitor, of Reigate, attended for the reformers. The tories were net represented. Reform objections sustained:—Dorking 9, Mickleham 1, N. grdigate 2, Ockley and Wootton 0, Abinger 1, Capel 2. Overseers' objections sustained :—Dorking 12, Mickle ham 1. Newdigate 1, Ockley and Wootten 0, Abioger 1, Carel 2. New reform claims allowed, 24; reform majority in the day's revision, 39. NORTH AND SOI:TH LANCASHIRE. Th:t revision courts in North Lancashire opened at Raw tenstsil, on Mocday, before Edward Rushton, Esq., barrio ter ; and those in South Lancashire on Wednesday, at Southport, before W. Forsyth, Eq. Greater complaints than usual are made by the agents, in whose hands the re gisten are placed by the two great political parties (that they may be properly purged and corrected), of the absence of all uniformity in the decisions given by the banisters. Take as an instance, the feet that last year one of the poll. ticsl parties objected in South Lancashire to 3,500 votes on the ground of mis-description. Of these objections 2,600 were CAWS in which the description of residence in the second column was alleged to be insufficient, bonsai the names of street' and farms were given without the names being added of the townships in which such streets and farms were situate. In defence of these descriptions it was urged in vain that the addition of the name of the township in the fourth column, along with the name of the qualification, was sufficient. The barrister held that the de scription in the 4th column could not be taken in aid of that in the second column ; and quoted the case of "Woollet and Davis" in appeal before the Court of Common Pleas, where Chief Justice Wild reversed • contrary decision. The barristers in South Lancashire this year are taking the same Willie ", but what is law in South Lancashire is not law is the northern division of the suns county. At Haslingden it was objected on Wednesday, that the description of red dence of Thomas Hamer, in the second column, " Com mercial-street," was not sufficient, because clearly, sash a description upon a letter would not Ind the owner without the name of the township added. The decision in the Com mon Pleas was quoted as showing that neither the descrip tion at the heading of the list, nor that in the fourth column could bo taken to eke out the insufficient description in the second column. But Mr. Rushton held that the description was sufficient, and fined the agent for taking a frivolous objection. Mr. Rushton, however, held in theory a decision be did not adhere to in pretties ; foe whilst he fined the agent for this u a akikoe dikilion, he tech advantage of his work mei Wait he the second column the name of the township. Nog Aso ha appear to have great faith in the equity of his diddle. Ise when applied to for a case, in order that the ,_u might be taken to a higher court for appeal, be rikwail, contending that the question at issue was one of fact, eibiella it was for him to decide. In a great number of came be has continued to amend the description, whilst fining an objectors, on the ground that the description was alesaily sufficient ; and he has as constantly, when applied to for cue, declined to give one. To show how opposite is the opinion of Mr. Forsyth, in the southern division, we give • parallel case. Patrick Murphy was described in the second column as living at " Clive's MU." and his qualification is described in the fourth column to be " freehold houses and land, Clive's MW, Lighten." It was objected that " Clive's Hill," was insufficient, and that " Aughton," the name of the town ship, ought to be added. For the other aide it was con tended that the name of the township being given in the fourth column was suicisat. Mr. Forsyth was of opinioa that the description in the second column was incomplete, and at once amended the description, refusing, of Conn*, to give the voter his expesess, or, in other words, to fine the parties instrumental in making the register complete. The importance of those contradictory decisions may seem to be slight, but they involve great hardships. One leer the torts, take objections on this point to 2,500 liberal voter., and drag them, at great expense, to a distance of many miles, to a revising banister's court, for fear their names may be struck a the list: the nest year as many tories may be dragged up by the liberals on the same objec tion, and a new barrister may my it is insufficient, sad make the liberal party pay their espouses. The liberals have a double grievance in this case. Or the same thing may happen the mein, and the grievances be theirs. But I I the mimetic( does not end here. The overseers, who make out these lists of voters, after the barrister has been round who decides that the acme of the township in the second cola= is not necessary, goon year after year omitting it till the register isms bad as before, and the tory or liberal party (whichever may be led by the meet unscrupulous men at the time), speculating on a barrister being appointed fa- courant' ter their project, dreg ►d voters from their justice to homes agdn• Sorely there should be the aims one party as the other • and as surely it is but reasonable, if uniformity of decisions is the most likely way to put an end to such vezatioss annoyances, the., who have the revi sion of the lists should reek !9 attain so desirable an end. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1853. Thomas Wyatt, George-street, Markfriars—Fractured thigh and injury to the head. W. Beckingham, 58, Star-stre..t, Paddington—Fractured ribs and sternum. William Wallace, 9, Brintlley-street, Harrow-road — Fractured thigh. Joseph Sumner, 7, Haventock-street, Camden-town— Various injuries. There were two or three others taken to the hospital, but their injuries were not sufficiently great to render their re maining necessary. The unfortunate man, John Draine, was a single maw about 23 years of age, and resided at Chelsea. FEARFUL COLLISION AT SEA.-SEVERAL LIVES LOST. --o A direful collision happened near the Mouse Light (mu mike below the Gore) on Wednesday night last, tie tween the Trident steam-ship, Captain Morris, and the trig Hanwood, of. London, Mr. Graham, muter, which ended in the almost instantaneous foundering of the latter vessel, with six of the crew, who perished. Since her recent serious mishap off St. Katherine's, when she took flre, and had to be scuttled, the Trident has been on the Tonningen station. On Wednesday she lap~tford f.r tat port, and proceeded in lardy until algal aloe o'clock the same night, by which time she had sasibed the vicinity of the Mouse Light, when she came in Iheefal sontact with the Huewood, bound to London from Cardiff. Such was the tremendous character of the shock Mat the brig went down in about two minutes from the time of her being struck, and all on board, with the excep Visa of the master, Mr. Graham, and one of the crew, John Mason, were drowned. It appears that the Harewood, which bed recently been almost rebuilt, of 400 Won rod the property of Mr. W. Dowell, Waggiseesel, machos at half past eight on the shore aresalag, Etas die Oise buoy to the southward of the Mom% the wind befog, S.W. strong one flood tide. She wee Isept close by the I wind on the larboard tack. In the owansilthree-qtarters of an hour, when nearly in mid channel. en crew descried • bright light and then Immediately a PA one en the brig's weather bow. It we M esejeelmed le be these of an approaching steamer, sal the MAW teak his sepa l lantern to the weather gangway, sad waved It for three or four minutes, and it was thought that it had been ob served. The red light was then missed, and almost imme diately afterwards a green one appeared in sight, which at once intimated to them that the steamer had changed her course, and was bearing down upon the brig. Most of the hands were forward calling out to her with all their might to alter her helm ; however she came on, her weather bow striking the weather bow of the Harewood. The concussion is described to have been of a most tremendous character, and it is said that the steamer, owing to her sin and power, althoagh she had stopped her engines, almost ran over the brig. The foree of the blow canted ber on one side, and she immediately began to fill, and in less than two minutes went down it Ift fathoms, not a scream nor • cry escaping from the six unfortunate fellows who disappeared with her. As the eamoner was passing from the wreck, Mason, the 'lnman, =litbold of the netting of the poop, and so got on board, reerving his vessel go down, he jumped into the quarter boat of the Trident, and called for aseistaace with a view of rescuing soy of his fellow shipmates who might be slinging to the rigging. Accompanied by the mate, he gulled of to the spars, and disoovered the captain in the 4equens4aing, which was a few feet above water. After NMI dialalty he was extricated and got into the beat, but ristithq; mild be seen of the remainder of the men on board. They then returned to the Trident, and she, having sustained some damage, put back to the Thames, and landed the two survivors. The names of those who perished are George Waters (mate), John Alderson (seaman), Richard Thompson (seaman), William Johnson (seaman), sad William Collins and Thomas George West (apprentices). The vessel and cargo is a total loco. On the part of the steamer it is alleged that the brig ran into her on the star board paddle box, and that perceiviog the apparent bear ing of the Harewood, the engines were stopped. Up to Saturday evening none of the bodies had been picked up. FIRE IN THE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY ARCHES. —Yesterday morning, about one o'clock, a fire of a very alarming character broke out in some of the arches of the South Eastern Railway, occupied by Merry. Garner, ja painters. There was a large stock of oils and other inflam mable articles, and the fire could not be subdued until several hundred pounds' worth of property had been de stroyed. The cause of the accident is unknown. The pre mises, where there bad been a similar disaster some time previously, were insured. AN EXTENSIVE YACHTING TOUR. Lord A. Churchill and Captain Cathcart loft Falmouth on Saturday la the Wybom yacht, for Melbourne. They propose sub sequently to procced to China. THE CHOLERA. (Trea the Bond d Health, Oct. 8.) LONDON. A fatal ease of cholera occurred on the Gth in Poland-street, St. James's, 15 hours. 1)r. NGtroy, trotn the General Board of Health, had an interview on Friday with the guardians of Newington, with relation to the adoption of measures for the preven tion of the spread of cholera. The guardians are prepared to adopt energetic measures, and have ap pointed their several medical officers as sanitary inspectors of their respective districts. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE. .—Ocrozza 7. Cholera Diarrhcea The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhcer in Newcastle during the present outbreak has been 1,480. In the same period (viz., the first 37 days) during the prevalence of epidemic cholera there in 1831-2, the number of deaths was 238. Newcastle.—General result of the house-to-house visitation. '[here has not yet been time to complete the returns of the house-to-house visitation ; but the following statement contains an approximation to the result up to October 6th. The cases of diarrhoea discovered by this system, and brought under imme diate treatment by the visitors, amounts to 3,241; the cases approaching to cholera, 227 ; cholera, 63; cholera corpses, 3 ; old cases passing from diarrlicea into approaching cholera, 13; and from approaching cholera into cholera, 11 ; making the total number of cases of all kinds discovered and brought under treatment 3.13. WALKER. The aereritT of the outbreak of the disease at Walker, of which a detailed avount was given yes terday, induced Dr. Gavin to revisit this place on' the 6th instant, in order to ascertain by personal in spection the extent and efficiency with which the preventive recommended had been carried out. The following are stated to be among the results of the inquiry. The total deaths in the small locality attacked ou Monday (the 3rd) amounted on the 4th to 9, on the sth to 4, and on the 6th at 3 o'clock, p.m., to 2. At that time there were under treatment 6 cases of cholera, 4 of which were expected to prove fatal, 4 cases approaching cholera, and 31 cases of diarrhoea. Most of the persons inhabiting Scots Town had fled precipitately. Panic was still general, and there was extreme difficulty in obtaining persons who would bring the dead or place them in their c , .;ffins. The entire popu lation were represented for the time to hare been in a state of frenzy . SOUTH SHIELDS. _ _ 6th October.—lteports - have been received of the occurrence of 9 fatal cases of cholera in South Shields from the 26th ult. to the 6th inst., making a total of 41 deaths at that place from cholera during the present visitation. These deaths have taken place in the South Shields Union, which comprises not only the town districts of South Shields and Westoe, but also the country districts of Hedworth, Monkton, Jarrow, Hebbnrn, Whitburn, and Baldon. HATFIELD. A cue of cholera—the first in the Hatfield, about six miles from Doncaster, on Friday night, the victim being the Rev. John Loxley, vicar of Baraby. in-the-Willows, Nottinghamshire, and formerly curate of Doncaster. Mr. Loxley hail beta in rather indifferent health, and left his home about a fortnight ago, to visit the sea-side. He remained at Burlington until a few days ago, when he left to return home, being then suffiring from diarrlicea. He called at Hatfield to pay a visit to some of his wife's relations, and, whilst there, grew much worse. Medical aid was called in, but, it appears, too late, for he died on Friday evening, within twenty hours of the appear ance of the more malignant symptoms. Mr. Loxley was well known in the district for his piety and affability, and his death, under such melancholy circumstances, is much regretted by many persons in Doncaster and its neigh bourhood. CUOLESA IN Saturday an in- quest was held at the Peanon's Anna, Tensaw.— Kingsland-road, before 2.1 r. Baker, on the body of Mazy Allen, aged 10 years, who it was said had died in York place, Kusgsland-road, from an attack of Asiatic cholera . Mr. John Nicholls, surgeon, in giving his evidence, said, the premises were unlit to live to ; the drains were very bad, and the effluvium from them and the cesspools most dreadful. The jury returned a verdict " died from Asiatic cholera." Two other children, aged 5 and 8 years, of the same family, have since died; and also another child, agei 7 years, belonging to a different family. EXTRAORDINARY AND SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A WIFE. On Saturday afternoon Mr. Payne held a long inquiry at the Vestry-hall, Fair-street, Honleydown, on the body of Ann Roberts, the wife of a greengrocer in Ber mondsey-street, who, it woos at first sapposed, had committed suicide, but concerning whose death reports were subse quently in circulation of a more serious character. On Friday morning the deceased was found in her bed room hanging by a gauze veil, and in nearly a kneeling posture. See was quite dead. Her husband gave the alarm. He had slept on a sofa, having come home the pre vious night very drunk. When he called in a lodger he said, " Good God, I shall not be long after her." lie had only a short time before come out of gaol, where he had been undergoing imprisonment for illusiag his wife. Mary Duke, who occupied a room underneath, deposed to hearing the deceased groan is the night. The sister of the deceased thought she had not laid violent hands upon herself, as she was always greatly terrified at death. Ellen Cooke, the daughter of the deceased, produced a bundle of letters which her mother had given her. A short time sizes her mother told Roberts that he would soon go back again to gaol for his ill usage of her. He made use of some very filthy expressions, and replied that the next time he went it would not be for twelve ;months, but for two or three years, and perhaps he might go on to a scaffold for her, as he meant to have her life, at the same time using most violent language. That was about three weeks ago. The Coroner then read three letters sent by a woman alluded to in the course of the investigation, signed lilies Roberta," thereby assuming the name of the wife, one of them being addressed to Roberts. In this letter she en treated Roberta to come to her without delay, stating that she had got an order for the play. He was to make any emu* to deceive his wife, and if he found any difficulty in doing so that he must "cook" her, as they had agreed upon, and then when she was gone they could live happily to gether. The two other letters to the wife were couched in the most foul and filthy language, taunting her with having lived with her husband whilst she was in the work , house, and that he had spent many pounds upon her, but having lost his situation at Somerset-house he had returned to her for convenience, but that she had made up her mind ( to have her life, if she should be hanged for her. Dr. Milliee said he should have great hesitation at the present moment in stating the cause of death. The features were exceedingly placid, and there was no bloodshot about the eyes, as was common where death occurred from strata. gulation. - The inquiry wu then adjourned for a post martens exa mination to be made. RIOT AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY IN HEREFORDSHIRE. HEREFORD, SATURDAY, Yesterday twelve men were taken before the county magistrates, Mr. E. Griffiths, Mr. Wegg-Prosser, and Dr. Lambe, at the Shire Hall, charged, under the 7th and Sth Geo. IV., with riot, demolishing a house, and burning the property. The case had been previously remanded, a man named Cole, one of the rioters, having been so injured during the transactions, by a heavy blow on the head, as to cams apprehensions for his safety ; and the magistrates were occupied in the investigation several hours. The accused are—John Baskerville, P. Yeomans, Edward Porter, William Cooper, James Charles, James Jones, Wm. Griffiths, Joseph Coles, Nathan Lloyd, Thos. Grif fiths, and Joseph Dickenson. The facts of the cue have already been given fully in the Express of Friday, and several witnesses having deposed to them, _ _ . Mr. Pritchard, solicitor for the defence, contended that the commoners could only be made amenable by died action. By the 7 and 8 George IV., the offence was made punishable with death, but it war also provided that where the parties concerned acted under the bona fide idea of legal right, civil action mast be taken, and he therefore con- tended that the magistrates had so jurisdiction. After deliberating in private, the magistrates committed the prisoners on the charge of riot. DRAMA. - 4. - SADLER•S WELLS. On Saturday night Mr. Phelps, whose Shake perian enthusiasm never tires, presented to that most en lightened and discriminating of " houses," the audience of Sadler's-Wells, the charming comedy of A Midsummer Night's Dreams. This is one of those pieces which present insurmountable obstacles in the way of a perfect realisation upon the stage ; for it is obvious that if the fey. who used to sport in the green brakes and sleep in the cowslipped banks of Mimic England" h►ve fled their ancient haunts, it is not exactly in front of the foot-lights, that we can ex pect them to re-appear. However, whatever could be done to render justice to S“akespere's exquisite fancies has been a labour of love with Mr. Phelps, and the result has shown that the Midsummer 11'Sgises Dream is not a bad acting play after all. The scenery and all the accessories were admirable ; and the supernatural part of the piece was an unmistakeable success. As for Bully Bottom and his fellows, they were as droll as en Adelphi farce. Mr. Phelps himself played the theatrical weaver; end dis played throughout a great deal of dry humour. The mystification of the lovers in the third act also afforded plenty of merriment to the house. Puck was cleverly played by Master Artis ; and both he and Mr ;Phelps after wards received a complimentary call at the toll of the curtain. NAVAL. Powrsstourn, Ocr. 9.—The Arab, 12, Comman der Ogle, arrived at Spithead, yesterday afternoon, from Chatham, en route to the Coast of Africa. She remains at the above anchorage. The Dolphin, 3, brigantine, Lieute nant• Commander Webber, came into harbour lst night. Tae Encounter ' 14, screw steam-Coop, Captain O'Callaghan, wen t out of harbour to Spitbead last night. DEVONPORT, OCT. 9.—The Stromboli, steamer, Commander Hall, which put into the Sound on Tuesday in consequence of a leak, having filled up with coals, has sailed for the Pacific. The leak was discovered to be nothing more than the result of a pipe which had been left open. The Vulture, steamer, Captain Gleam, was paid wages on Wednesday. The Queen, Capt. F. T. Michell; Agamemnon, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland ; the Desperate, Captain W. W. Chambers; and the Imperieuse, Captain It. B. Witten, were taken into harbour on Thursday. The Agamemnon, tho Desperate, and Imperieuse have had their masts taken out, and brought to the dockyard for examination. They will be supplied with such new masts as may be thought necessary. The Queen has been taken into the new dock at the Key ham steam-yard, being the fir• vessel that ever entered the duck. The president, Captain Bu-ridge, ar ,' rived yesterday from Portsmouth, and saluted the flag of the commander-in-chief, Admiral Sir John A. Ommanney, which was answered by the flagship Impregnable, Captain Lowe. During Tuesday and Wednesday, considerable ex citement prevailed here, in consequence of the telegraphic message that the Sultan had declared war with Russia. It was currently rumoured and believed that the several large ships at this port were under orders to he got ready (Cr sailing withlut delay, and that others were to be pre pared for commission with all possible despatch. By this time the excitement has died out, and things are going on much as usual, except, indeed, that everybody seems to be expecting the bustle and excitement of warlike prepara tions momentarily to ensue. CLERICAL. PREFERMENT.—On Thursday the 6th inst. the Rev. Thomas Caine, late chaplain of St. Luke's, Baldwin, was instituted to the vicarage of Lonan, by the Lord Bishop of Sodor and Maim—Peron the crown. SPORTING. TATTERSALL'S.-SATURI THE CESARE WITCH. Angelo and Teddington were in immense force. The in vestments on both were remarkably heavy. The fernier opeaed at 1,000 to 60, and closed at 12 to 1, taken, and offered; the latter advanced from 20 to 1 to 13 to 1 ; 15,000 to 1,090 was taken about Angelo in one bet. The last quo tation was 900 to 75, odds which were afterwards offered.

A highly practical and interesting lecture of the utility and advantages of these institutions , was delivered by Witttax HAMM Esq , Deputy Chairman of the Committee for promoting the establishment of Baths and Wash-houses for the Labouring Classes, before a large au dience, at the National Schools, Stratford, on Friday even ing last. The meeting was presided over by William Cot ton, Esq., D.C.L. (formerly chairman of the Bank of Eng land), one of the earliest promoters of this important system for the promotion of cleanliness and health, and the social improvement of the people. At the conclusion of the ex position, which was illustrated with many skilful diagrams, the worthy lecturer received the hearty congratulations of all present upon the imminent success which bad attended the labours of himself and his colleagues, and the meeting were unanimous in an expression of their conviction that much good would arise from the publication and general circulation of the most able and popular lecture. Mr. Hawes having kindly acceded to the request of the meet ing, resolutions were thereupon paced expressive of the sentiments of the meeting on this important question, de ciding also to obtain the signatures of the ratepayers to a memorial calling upon the churchwardens to convene a meeting of the vestry without loss of time, for the special purpose of determining whether the acts 9 and 10 Vic., a. 74, and 10 and 11 Vic. c. 61, should be adopted for the parish of West Ham. A vote of thanks to the chairman having been carried by acclamation, the meeting broke up. Mr. Haley, C.E , the engineer to the committee, and Mr. Woolcott, the secretary, were in attendance. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.—ConsiderabIe ex citement has prevailed in Oxford during the week in con sequence of the mysterious disappearance of a respectable tradesman named Robert Coaling, who carried on the busi ness of butcher and publican at Fritwell, near Bicester, in that county.
