(From the :Vmedgen Hereof) At Cathie , acing the past week, we have been blessed with the finest weather area at this wagon for many years. With the exception of an accident to the Princess Royal, who, by the falling of her horse, was thrown to the ground, fortunately with trilling injury, her Majesty and her court have him enjoying the pleasures of the country and of the mason in the usual way. tier Majesty has been driving about, and whenever an object attracted her attention. transferring it to her sketch b oo k ; while the Prince, like other sportsmen, has had his lucky and unlucky days. Free from all the pomp sad pageantry of state, the royal family appear to be healthy, comfortable, and happy, receiving with much condescen sion the resnectful homage of their subjects as they meet them in their eatables; employing themselves in acts of charity and benevolence. and securing to themselves the de votion, sincere respect, and good-will of all around them. Oa Monday the Prince went a deer-stalking, and killed a fine hind. ller Majesty drove out by the north side of the As, visiting the Piss or Craigs of 'Winter, returning to the Castle in the evening. On Tnewley and Wednesday, the accustomed walks and drives were enjoyed by her Majesty while the Prince wee in the Glen. On Thursday her Majesty enjoyed a nice drive by Rena to', Re., pawing down on. , side of the river Dee, and re turning by the oppo.ite side. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. As if to belie the prognostics of those seers who hive been foretelling the rapid decline of its attractiveness tie Crystal I'A:ice yesterday received upwards of .58,000 Tudors, an unusually great number for Thursday, which is usually put down as one of the empty days of the week. The harvester are now pouring in to spend some of their high sages, the operatives are making up fur lost time, and the foreigners muster in greater numbers than ever. A. to the school', there appears to be no end to their num bers. Yesterdie the interior was completely dotted with the white caps of little charity girls, and the various, though not very attractive costume of their male companions in mi.•fortune. Their guardians were so fearful of losing them that they paraded them about in long string., bred in hand, and the consequence was frequent iuterruption to the transit of the other visitors It would be much better if some certain days or parts of days were oat apart for the accommodation of these little C.iton, as at present they are a sad obstruction to the elder sight seekers, and at the same time are preventedde riving easy advantage themselves. The following fat will show how extensive was their irruption, and the various districts which contributed :—Dean Stanhope, Dept ford, 73; Lambeth Union, 58; Brewer's School, Clerk• cnwell, 60; Brixton British, 46 ; St. Savioar'r, Southwark, 196; Jewish, Villa Real, 21; Wandsworth National, 165; Albany-place School, 61; St..Martin's-in-the•Fields (girls). 25; Hampton-wick, Rev.

Total 1,429. elf the country parties, the most numerous came from Trowbridge and Frome, whose united contingent exceeded 2,000 persons. The following names of priseholders will, we believe, be found to be correct, as far as it goes, and may be interesting to some portion of the public. French Minister of War fur Algerian products, Minister of Commerce for Golielins and Aubusaon tapestry not Sevres porcelaine, M. Le Monier fur the well known paring of the Queen of Spain, which we believe has attracted as much curiosity and admi ration as any sight iu the palace. Foment Meuricr, for his splendid ease of gold and silver plate, including the silver toilette of the Duchemof Parma. Gaylen Rodolphe, for goldsmiths' work; and Martel Freres for various splendid specimens of their art, which have received separate and complimentary notices in this and other papers. M. Constantin's flowers have obtained what the public will deem only their just reward. M. Macs gets a medal for his glass ware, and M. De Milly for his bevies steuri.iiies. It is fortunate for the latter that the juries, bad derided before the arrival of the Swedish goods, as the candles front Sweden are the finest that have yet been produced. The rapid closing in of evening at this season of the year makes the police au- thoeities somewhat uneasy no to the time to which the Ex hibition should remain open. At present the final clear ance is not completed before dusk ; and in the imperfect light and necessary crowding, the light-fingered gentry would not find any great difficulty in the exercise of their craft. We believe that they have been doing a little already by way of experiment, and that the constables are obliged to be particularly vigilant and active as soon as 1 . evening shades prevail." The temperature of the interior it now delightfully pleasant to the visitors, but the persons in charge of the "Linda begin to complain of draughts. The police numbers were 58,600, and the receipts at the doors 2,5101. Is. thl.

MARY, WHITECHAPEL A general meeting of the parishioners of St. Mari, Whitechapel, took place yesterday, at the vestry-room, for the purpose of taking into consideration the refusal of the Bishop of London to recognise the recent appointment of Sunday afternoon lecturer, and to adopt such steps as might be deemed necessary thereon. Mr. Tuos. VENABLES, one of the churchwardens, presided. Mr. J.sllll'l* 11, the:vestry clerk, said tliemeeting had been called at his suggestion, in consequence of a letter which he hail received from the Rev. John Windle, who was ap pointed afternoon lecturer in July last. The letter inclosed the reply of the bishop to the usual application for a license, and was as follows: " Fulham, July 28, 1851. " Deer Sir,—You may preach in the afternoon as one of Mr. Champsey's curates, in which capacity you are already licensed; but I cannot reco,, , nise you as lecturer, there being no endowment of the lectureship. " I am, deer sir, your faithful servant, " The Rev. John Windle." " C. J. LONDON." On the receipt of this communication, he (Mr. Smith) bad thought it his duty to lay the matter without delay be fore a public vestry, in order to rec.ive their instructions as to the course which' should lie pursued. Mr. Windle was in attendance close by ; and if it was the wish of the meet ing to see him, in order to ree, ire further explanation, he would attend there immediately. A PARISHIONER asked if there sir:s any act of par liament authorising the bishop to prohibit Mr. Windle from lecturing. The VESTRY-CLERK said that, under certain circum stances, the bishop might refuse to license the clergyman whom the pariah appointed ; but Mr. Windle being already the curate of the parish, and licensed as such, that objection coulo not arise. A PARISHIONEIt—Then, shall wo have to proceed to make another appointment ? The VESTRY-CLERK—No; I should certainly not advise the parishioners to five op any customary right. You will observe, the groan( of the bi.hop's objection is, that there is no endowment of the lectureship. Mr. FRANCIS referred to the dispute which had taken place, in the adjacent parish of Stepney, between the rector end the lecturer, the former not approving of the parish ioners' choice. He was proceeding to state the steps which had been taken by the parish, but— The VESTRY-CLERK said that in that ease the lecturer, Mr. Poole, had not been licensed at all, and he could not legally preach without some license. Mr. FREEMAN said it was evident that what the bishop wanted was either a rich church, or no church at all. (Hear, hear.) Though a stanch churchman himself, he must say the bishop was like the filth wheel of a coach, neither good for use nor ornament. (Laughter.) He did more harm than good to the church, and the sooner it was rid of such bishops the better. Mr. FRANCIS said it was a very strange precedent for a bishop to step forward to prevent the Gospel being preached. (Hear, hear.) If the reverend gentleman was willing to take the post with a small remuneration attached to it, it "as most imprudent and in very bad taste far the bishop to interfere. The Rev. J. Windle here entered, and was accommodated with swat near the chairman. The CIIAIRMA vest". wish to ask you, Mr. Wind'', whether you have any objection to preach in the afternoons, in consequence of this letter which you have receisatil from the bishop ? Mr. WINDLE immediately replied—Not any. I am still desirous of retaining my appointment as afternoon lec turer, and will officiate and preach in such capacity accord ing to the usual custom. he VESTRY-CLERK—It seems to me that we need take nu further steps in the matter. You have appointed an a ft ernoon lecturer, and that gentleman will discharge the duties. The rev. gentleman signed a paper to that effect, and the meeting separated. TILE ALLEGED CARL) CHEATING AT BRIGHTON. BRIGHTON, SEPT. 18. To-day Mr. Roberts, attorney for James, who with Broome and Stadden is charged with basing cheated Mr. Ramp at cards, applied to the Brighton bench to admit his client to bait. Mr. SW, attorney for the prosecutor, ap peared to oppose the application, and a dome discussion ensued, from which it appeared that a writ of habits corpus bad been obtained to bring up James before Mr. Baron Martin, but that prisoner's attorney having altered his in tention had sent notice to the gaoler, and neither bail, prisoner, nor counsel presented thetnseives to keep the ap pointment at judge's chambers ; hence Mr. Sill contended the local magistrates could have no jurisdiction. This gum tioa was terminat by Mr. Roberts consenting, so that the case might proceed, to pay 15/. to Mr. Sill fur the torts and expenses incurred through the abandoned proceedings. The bail now; offered were David Wean°, of Oxford street, Swansea, Glamorganthire, moister, and Joseph Morris, of the same street, wheelwright. At one o'clock Mr. sill made his appearance before the bench, C. Carpen ter, J. Boner, N. Borrer, and Montagu Scott, Esqrs., and took au objection that the magistrates had no jurisdicti o n to take bail. After a lengthened discussion the magistrates decided on examining the sureties, and ultimately decided against accepting the proffered bail. The Welehmen then left the court, much chagrined at being dragged from Swansea for nothing.

WORCESTER lior DlNass.—The annual hop din aer was held at the Rop-market Inn, on Saturday evening last; Mr. Giles, of this city, in the chair, and Mr. Walker, of Kaightwick, vice-pregdent. About fifty of the princi pal growers and merchants sat down. Ibe result of the "set"—which is a private estimate made by eachindividual present of the probable duty on the growing crop—was an average of 18,271. fur the Worcester duty. The proceed ings of the evening combined business with pleasure. Nearly forty pockets of new hops were brought into this city on Saturday, by Mr. Smith, of Wick, but they wens not exposed for sale in the market.—Worgssfershire Chro nicle. TUE HEREFORD HOP DISTRICT.—Reports are this week of an unfavourable character; at least, every where great damage has been done by the wind ; in some yards tire per cent. of the fruit is " tagged," while every where the sharp frosts have quite checked the growth. Oa Tuesday night week there was ice as thick as a shilling to be sees in the neighbourhood of this city. Picking has par tially commenced, and will be general on Monday nest; we have seen several waggon loads of the "fair sea" par through this city ess route to the hop-grounds.—thunford Times. THE BURMESE BELL AT LIVERPOOL.—This =We, which was one of the spoils taken during the war, but which is now erected on the Liverpool boding same, for the purpose of giving warning during a a fog, is found not to emit so loud a sound as was anti cipated, and therefore proves to be comparatively useless. During the dense fog on Saturday night last, when the guns of the Canada were heard for some hours before her position was discovered, the Burmese:bell was rung, but could saaeely be heard on the shore clove to the landing stage. The metal is so thick that an ordinary clapper is wholly ineffectual in causing the full tone of the bell, which requires a power equal to that of a steam.hazamer to ring it effectually. In the endeavour to bring out the sound in all its power, on Saturday night, the tongue or " clapper" was several times unshipped and fell upon the landing stage, making indentations nearly an Inch deep upon the oak Sm., but providentially doing no other damage. Had this occurred during the day time, in all probability loss of life would have been the consequence, from the number of people usually congregated oa the spot &bora which it is erected. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1851. THE RECENT DEATH BY POISON AT WRINGTON. The coroner's inquests on the bodies of Sarah Ann Roberts and Caroline Barge, of whose deaths from the effect of poison, some particulars have already appeared in the ExpresT, were resumed on Wednesday afternoon, at the Golden Lion Inn, Wrington, before R. Uphill, Esq., eoroner for the district, and a most respectable Jury. The first witness called, was Elizabeth Ridley, who deposed that Sarah Ann Roberta, one of the deceased women, was her daughter. On Mon day week the 3th instant, she saw her in a yard at the back of her house. She complained that she was very unwell, and that she had been sick. It was on the evening of the dry. Deceased had been subject to sick headaches, and witness did notstherefore think so much of it. At about 11 o'clock the same night witness was called to her and found her very sick and ill. She vomited a great deal, was greatly purged, and was in much pain. She continued ill, ' and as her symptoms grew worse a' half-past 1 o'clock ou Saturday morning a messenger was scut for Mr. Chadwick, surgeon, whose assistant, Mr. Christy, almost buniviliately came and brought a mixture with him. A spoon ful of this mixture was given to her at periods according to Mr. Christy'a directiuns, and he re mained with her u long time. She continued ill, and at 7 o'clock in the morning Mr. Chain irk himself saw her and prescribed tor her, and lie afterwards called in Mr. Coates in consultation upon her case, and both gentlemen saw her together. Witness knew that her daughter was in the family way six weeks before and ileceasea confessed to her upon her pressing her that she had taken some h,r1.1 tea rind some pills to procure aliortion. About a month ago, witness's daughter-in-law, Amelia Ridley, was repairing a dress bele:iglu; to deceased, and found some green herb in the packet of it, which had a very nasty smell. Wheu de ceased was asked about it, she said it was some herb which she got from a garden, and that if a woman took it it would prevent her having children. She said that Fanny Marsh told her where to get it, and advised her to take it, and that after she hail gathered the herb she took it to Fanny Marsh and asked her if it was right, and she said it was the right thing. A person, named John Vain, had had connexion with deceased. She told witnesa that he bad promised her marriage. When witness found out that de ceased was iu the family way, she said she would give up housekeeping, and she quarrelled with deceased, who went and took a lodging next door. Deceased was 2'2 years of age. Amelia Ridley, sister-in-law of the deceased, confirmed the evidence of the mother as to finding the green herb in a pocket of Sarah Ann Roberta's dress. Witness saw deceased on the day that she was taken ill. She was very sick, and complained of being poorly in her head. Caroline Burge was with her that afternoon, helping her at shoe-binding. Witness had no conversation with deceased about the matter. She was aware that she was in the family way, having learnt it from her mother-in-law, but deceased did not know that she knew it. Henry Thomas deposed to having had a conversation with the deceased woman, wlio told him that Fanny Marsh advised her to take Cie stuff—that she told her in the singing gallery of the church (both women sung in the choir), that she took some stuff and she should never have a live child. In reply to one of the jury, the witness •aid ho had been told by a person named Ashley that they hooded the stuff about to one another in the singing gallery. Mr. I'. J. Chadwick. surgeon, deposed to having been called in to see the deceased, whom he soon perceived to be suffering from the effects of sonic vegetable poison. lie taxed her with having taken something, and she acknow lodged having taken some decoction of herbs and some pills. Ile p id every attention to her case, and called in Mr. Coates to consult upon it, but the deceased continued to grow worse, and died on the Saturday. The witness then deposed to having made a post nwrtens examination of the bodies, the appearances of which he described. The womb contained a (tutus from 10 to 12 weeks old. Witness came to the conclusion, from all that he had seen, that the deceased died front having taken some vegetable poison. Ile could not state what poison it was which eke took, as the symptoms were very similar, but he had no doubt that she died from the effects of some poison. Mr. Coates, surgeon, also deposed to having been present at the post mortar,' examination. Wit111:68 afterwards searched the apartment occupied by the deceased, and in a box underneath a table he found five quart bottles. One of them was partially and three quite full of a lightish co loured fluid. Witness found that it was a vegetable in fusion; he believed of horehound. Ile also found a num ber of pill•, which had the appearance of having been made by some unskilled hand. Ile found that the great bulk of them was made of flour. There was also some particle of herb, which, upon examiuing them by means of a powerful microscope, he found to be horehound and ground ivy. Witness considered that deceased died from the effects of vegetable poison. The Coroner—Taken to procure abortion ? Mr. Chadwick—She admitted to me that she took it with that objt et. This being the whole of :the evidence, the Coroner summed up, and the jury, after a short consultation, re turned &verdict of filo-de-4e against the deceased Sarah Ann Roberts. The jury then entered upon an inquiry as to the death of the other female, Caroline Burge, in regard to whom va rious witnesses were examined, vim* testimony was similar in character and tendency to that given in the previous case. Several of the witnesses were however examined, to show that the poison had been taken fur a criminal nor Pow. Emanuel Ridley, brother •in-law of the deceased, deposed that he tookher home from Roberts's how.; to her mother's. She was sick on the road. She also said to witness that she hoped her death would bo a warning to all young women ; that Sarah Roberta gave her the stuff. Site further said that Sarah drank a teacupful, and gave her a teacupful, which she drank. Roberts told her it would do her good, and that if it did not it could not do her any harm. Harriet Priug deposed that deceased was her daughter bye former husband. She knew that she was in the family way, and she was sometimes low about it, but had never said anything about drowning herself that witness heard. On the Sunday she exclaimed, just before her death, "Oh Sarah, Sarah. ' Witness understood her to reflect en Sarah Ann Roberts. Amelia Ridley said about a fortnight ago deceased came to her and told her that her young man, Francis Ford, had been to see her • that she could get no satisfaction from him and did not believe he would marry her. She said she must have seine beer to drown her thoughts, and that she had a mind to make away with herself. Ann Derrick, a neighbour of Mrs. Piing, sat up with the deceased during tho Saturday night. The night pre vious to her death witness was sitting by her side, holding her hand in hers, and she said, " What a foolish girl I have been." She said that she had acted very wrong in what she had done, and that if the Lord should spare her life, she would act very differently. Witness asked her how she had acted wrong, and she confessed to her that she had taken stuff for the purpose of causing abortion. She further said that she was induced to take it by Sarah Ann Roberts, who also took some, and who told her that it would do her good, and could not hurt her at all. There being no further evidence, The coroner summed up the ease, and the jury, after some consultation, returned a verdict of felatk-se against Caroline Burge. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Si,?. 18, A special meeting of town and harbo . ur commis 'loners was held in Galway yesterday, for the pur pose of presenting an address to the American minister, who had test arrived in that town. In reply to the address, which was read by the chair man, the Itev. Mr. Daly, his excellency said— I am taken entirely by surprise, and I beg to offer to you my humble thanks on behalf of my country for the kind expression towards it contained in the address which has just been read. It is true that we have in the United States a very large Irish population—natives of the Eme rald Isle, and the descendants of Irishmen now in habiting the country which I have the honour to repre sent • end I beg here to; say, that, generally speaking, 1 1 they are persons of a most valuable and necessary class to the maintenance of our institutions. I think 1 know the character of the Irish nation and I have a sympathy, whether in Ireland or the United States, for Irishmen. (Cheers.) I have come to your country, believing it to be me duty to do so, representing, as I do, a very large body, as I before remarked, of persons who were bred and born in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) I came here, not from idle curiosity, but I came to look at the physical formation of the country, and particularly at its people. To-day, gentlemen, I have had the satisfaction of visiting your beautiful bay ; I have been on Mutton Island, as it is called—l have had a view of the ingress and egress of your town, and I must say that I have rarely scan anything in any country that promises more for the accommodation of ships than the bay of Galway. (Cheers.) I can only say, in regard to the project in which you are all interested, and which is interesting not only to Galway but I should think interesting to all Ireland, that I wish not only to Galway, but to every other town, village, and hamlet in Ireland that degree of prosperity which it would seem from its position and its resources it ought to possess. It will give me great satisfaction if you are able to carry out the plan which you propose to adopt, and which would bring you and the United States nearer together. - - His excellency continued to address the assem blage to the same effect at some length, and was greeted with the most cordial applause. It is expected that the visit of Mr. Abbott Law rence to the west will give a fillip to the proceed ings of the Packet Station Committee. ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE. —On Monday morning about one o'clock, a poor girl, named Margaret Rowland, was brought to the station-house, Cardiff, almost dead. it appears she had left her situation in Chepstow, and had gone to Swansea in order to procure another. She did not succeed, and was coming into Cardiff about twelve o'clock. over the c est bridge, when a fellow overtook her, and told her be would show her into the town. As she was a stranger she thanked him, and he led her towards the tan yard by the castle, and then took her Into the park, and endeavoured to commit a rape upon her; but not succeed ing, he threw her down, robbed her of about 21. and all her clothes, and then threw her into the feeder, which was close by. After struggling for a little while, having sunk once or twice, she reached the opposite bank, where she remained some little time, and then crawed as well as she could to the town, when she was taken to l the station-house. The man has not since been heard of.—SISSMIen Herald. 1 CULTIVATION OF COTTON ON TILE WEST COAST OF AFRICA. A meeting of the directors of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday morning to meet Captain Eilulphus Swinton, a gentleman who had risked the west coast of Africa, and hear from him some details respecting the character of the inhabitants and the suita bility of tlie climate of that region for the cultivation of cotton. On the table of the chamber were specimens of indigenous cotton, which Captain Swinton had gathered on the west coast of Africa, and also a piece of calico cloth of native manufacture. The cloth was of about the quality of the coarse stout fabrics woven in this country, and known by the name of Bolton shectiugs, but is curiously diveni tied by stripes of close and open texture. Mr. BAZLEY, the president of the chamber, in intro ducing Capt. Swinton, said the practicability of a more abandant and regular supply of cotton, as gentlemen pre sent were aware, had received the attention of the chamlier for some years past. About two years ago the proceedings which had taken place in the chamber attracted the atten tion of Capt. Swinton, and he was induced to address tho board of directors on the probabilities of Africa being ca pable of supplying the raw material of our manufactures in large quantities and of excellent quality. His communi cation was exceedingly valuable, and he (the president) supplied him with • ;large quantity of cotton seeds, which he believed the captain would now tell them he had carried out with him in a recent voyage to Africa, and distributed among the native chiefs of the western coast who were disposed to cultivate cotton, that it might be shipped to this country. Captain SWINTON then stated that he first went to Africa in 11437, and in walking along the coast he saw bushes of the indigenous cotton growing. Ile plucked some of the pods, and brought them with him to this country. lie did not at that time know that through the failure of crops, or the inadequate means of the Americans, cotton was likely to become scarce, or that the question of a future supply would become of such deep interest as he had found it; but he had brought a quantity of it home, thinking that it was not improbable the cotton grown there might become an article of commerce. Soon after his ar rival in England he saw • notice of the proceedings of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce on the question of a better supply of cotton, and was led to put himself in communication with their president. On since revisiting the west coast of Africa he had interested himself with the King of Shcrbro, to induce him to grow cotton, and had furnished him with see s for the purpose. lie believed that this prince was disposed to encourage its growth by his people. As a means oi inducing him to make the experi ment he hail promised to take all he could grow at a stated price. The great thing there was to induce the people to make the experiment, because, being naturally of a some what indolent nature, they required a more than ordinary stimulus to exertion. lie had travelled upwards of one hundred miles into the interior of Africa, and wherever he had gone he had taken with him a ha g of cotton seeds, distributing them among the chiefs, and exacting a promise that they would endeavour to cultivate the plant. The specimens of cotton now on the table hail been picked from the wild native cotton plant, about SO miles from the eta coast, and close upon the boundaries of the Kousay coun try, between the colonies of Liberia and Sierra Leone. The king of Sherbro, or chief of Bunipey, as he called himself, had since transmitted him a letter, stating that he had planted the cotton seeds left with him, and the following was a copy : " Bassartu, Ilth May, 1851. " Dear sir—l have received your cask cotton seeds, and will not fail to have some of it planted this season, and have already prepared three farms for it, besides giving a great deal to many of my people ; and hope next season when you come out you may reap the benefit of a good crop. But I must beg you will bring me out more of the seeds, that I may eatentl its cultivation throughout my coati try, wherever the ground is suitable; and hope it will be of future benefit to both of us. I wish you good health and passage home. Expecting to see you early next season, I remain yours truly, friend, " Caasta BAH Cm; Lusa, Chief of Bompey, " West Coast of Africa. To Captain Swinton." The PRESIDENT said he had examined the specimens of indigenous tattoo Captain Swinton hail brought with him. Ono of the samples was of the Nankine description of cotton, and quite equal in staple to that of India, but not very likely to be useful here. The other sample was clean white cotton, and was equal in quality to good Bowed' or fair Orleans cotton ; if we could receive it in quantity it would be likely to enter largely into our manufactures. It was fine in staple, was exceedingly strong, and would be • great boon to the mariufacturers if it could be supplied in quantity. Dr. Ayton, the m stionary at Sierra Leone, had collected about two tons of it, and Captain Swinton would have brought it, but was taken ill. The members of the chamber entered into a conversation with Contain Swinton on various topics connected with th; capabilities of the west coast of Africa, particularly as re garded labour. Captain Swinton said in answer to various questions that the pay of labourers in Bombay was 94. to Is. per day, which was gladly taken in such goods as our manufactures. He did not see any cotton grown from the seeds he took out, but he saw some of the plants above ground three days after planting. He did not think very large quantities of the native cotton could be gathered at present. Ile saw the plants everywhere along the coast, but they were irregular and scattered. The people were much disposed to adopt European customs, and no doubt their wants would be large. He had no reason to suppose the people would know bow to treat the cotton plants they were cultivating, and probably they might neglect to weed and properly tend them. They were not accus tomed to hard or regular work, but they cultivated the ground nut in large quantities, and the French, who expressed from th ese nuts a de.crintion of oil, mule them an article or commerce. Thu getting and carrying of timber was, no doubt, a heavy and laborious employ ment, but the "people engaged in that were of a different race. Their way of carrying timber was very laborious. They, in fact, rolled it along parallel lines of timber laid across the country for miles, somewhat in the form of our railways. It would take ten to fifty of them to roll a log oftimbre five miles a day, according to the nature of the country. In the course of the proceedings the president stated that Lord Palmerston had promised to send out a cotton clean ' ing machine to Africa. Captain Swinton had promised the natives 4itl. per lb. as an inducement to grow cotton, in the unclesned state, which was above the market rate; but he (the president) bad been informed that up the Niger the women collected it and carried it in baskets on their heads to the coast, to sell it at id. per lb. A vote of thanks was given to Capt. Swinton for his in teresting communication. CLERICAL. The Rey. B. W. Disney to the Gtancry or Armagh. Rev. J. E.

GuEar YUILKSIIIRE Has uteap.—This race not having been run until more than half an hour after the time ap pointed, four o'clock, we were unable to add any particulars to the return. Previous to its coming off, Miss Ann, Pa quette, True Blue, Young Altisidora, Antigone, and two or three others, overpowered their riders, and broke away ; Miss Ann went about a mile before the lad succeeded in stopping her, Paquette and True Blue ran nearly half a mile, and the others to thu road. In the actual stin't, nut the best in the world, Young Altisidora was the first to show in frost, but, before reaching the hill, was passed by Miss Ann, who west on with the running at a strong pace, ratite:tin and Clarissa waiting on Young Altisiduru, the Sweep heading the second ruck, Cossack and Confessor in the centre, and behind them a tremendous " tail." Young Altisidora gave was near the mile-post, leaving Paquette and Clarissa in waiting on Miss Ann; the Sweep, Antigone, and ChiefJus , lice coming next, and the Confessor lying about seventh. lie making the Red-house turn. Antigone and the Con fessor drew towards the front, . and at the bend the , former went up to Miss Aun, and in a few strides deprived her of the lead, Confessor at the same time, on Paquetta's retirement, taking the fourth position. Antigone carried on ' the running to the distance, where the Confessor went up, quitted her opposite the stand, and wan easily by a length, Miss Ann finishing a bad third, Cossack fourth, and Chief Justice fifth. Run in 3 min. 20 sec. The easy manner in which thu Confessor won brought him into the St. Leger betting at 20 to 1, and increased the general anxiety to hack Aphrodite and the "lot." Her nandez slightly declined, and the Ban was almost friend less. Of the day's apart tao much cannot be said in praise; it wUJI above tho average in quantity, lull of interest, and, in its consequences ou the St. Leg..r and Derby betting, highly important; in fine, it was the best "brat day " known at Doncaster for many years. The weather was all that could be wished, the company great, and the receipts at the stand (1,9.501.) the largest c , er known. BETTING ON TUESDAY NIGIIT. sr.

The increasing arrival of well-filled trains from all parts of the kingdom, the crowded state of the streets, fur some hours before the commencement of the races, a stand crammed to excess, a throng within the enclosure, and' the entire aspect of the course, furnished the most con vincing proof that if the higher classes have become luke warm in their attachment to the most popular of our national sports—and that such is the fact has been ob vious throughout the season—the taste fur it is on the in crease in the middle and lower ranks. We will not go the length of saying that the concourse was so great as on the memorable St. Leger day of 15.30, but we safely affirm that it has not been exceeded on any other occasion. The 'Loynd Stand was occupied by a few ladies of rank, and the one appropriated to the club by some of the most influential patrons of the turf. We also noticed some persons of title and Mahlon in the balcony of the Grand Stand. Two Yll-OLU PAU/DUCE STAMM, of 100 SOW each, h ft; colts, Bst 71b; fillies, fist 31b. Red House in. 4 subs.

JAWS RICHARDSON, TRH AFRICAN TRAVELLER, is thus announced in the Malta Tinter of the 9th:—" It is with deep regret that we have to announce the death of Mr. James Richardson, the enter prising African traveller. This melancholy event took place on the 4th of March last, at a small village called Un gurutua, six days distant from Kouka, the capital of Bor non. Early in January ho and the companions of his mission, Drs. Barth and Overweg, arrived at the immense plain of Damergou, when after remaining a few days they separated—Dr. Barth proceeding to Kanu, Dr. Ovcrweg to Guber, and Mr. Richardson taking the direct route to Kouka by Zindar. There, it would seem, his strength began to give way, and before he had arrived twelve days' distant from Kouka, he became seriously ill, suffering much from the oppressive heat of the sun. Having reached a lart fi :own, Kangarrua, ho halted for three days, and fee • himself rather refreshed be renewed his journey. A r two days' more travelling, during the Waddy Mellaha. Leering this place on 3 rd Ma y , the y r, e w ha ached e h : d his in two we akreased, they arrived at weakness greatly inc hours the village of tJngurutua, when Mr. Richardson became so weak that he was unable to proceed. In the evening ha took a little food and tried to sleep—but became very restless ' and left his tent supported by his ser vant. He then took some tea and threw himself again on his bed, but did not steep. His attendants having made some coffee ho asked for a cup, but had not strength to hold it. iii repeated several times, " I have no strength," and after having pronounced the name of his wife, sighed deeply, and expired without a struggle about two hours after midnight. Early in the morning the body, wrapped in linen and covered with a carpet, was borne to a grave which was dug four feet deep under the shade of a largo tree, close to the village, followed by all the principal sheicbs and people of the district. Tho Sultan of Burnett has given orders that all respect and honour shall be paid to the grave of the ill.fated British traveller." SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—A gentleman passing Corn hill this morning, at a quarter to ten, met with a very serious accident, having been struck by an omnibus horse, the wheel of the carriage pas.ingover his thigh, and causing a serious fracture. He was picked up in an insensible state, and conveyed to the shop of Mr. Cooper, chemist, at the corner of the Royal Exchange, and, restoratives ha%ing,b i pep„ ~.,. ~, applied, he was removed on a stretcher to St. BartholeW . ?s 1 1 1.1 'Eli Hospital. 44 C ."
