LAW INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Moms Ma. Oosewnwmaa l'o%sLaNats. IN RE GRANVILLE. The bankrupt, Augwitus Boeri Granville, was described as a boarding and lodging-house keeper, of Wimbling, near Harrow, but is better known as Dr. A. B. Granville, au thor of The Spas of Germow," and other medical works. This was the meeting for the last examination. Ile. Lawrence, representing the assignees, said that this was a case In which the court had been pleased to enlarge the time for surrender until the Ith of October, on account of the bankrupt being abroad. As no account had been filed it was proposed to adjourn the meeting for the last examination until after Mr. Commissioner Goulburn's re turn, in whose court the proceedings had been commenced. The bankrupt, it appeared, had at first petitioned the court under the arrangement clauses; but owing to the difliculties which frequently occur in carrying out these amngcmcnts, he was made bankrupt in the ordinary way. The trading consisting of his transactions as the keeper of an establishment where patients were boarded and lodgdged. Debts have been proved to the amount of l,7001.; the assets, which consist principally of household! furniture, are valued at 3171. ; and property to the amount of I,ooof. is held by creditors. The examination was ailiosraed by consent, till the 13th November. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIS DAY. OLD COVlCT.—Dzanaz Ws. Jrnies Wwerraig. John SOplieta, a ti•Ape!table-lookine nom, surrendered to take hi• trial upon an indictment ehnrging him with the manslaughter of Henry Stewart Devi., by administering widow• drop to him, and other means mentioned in the Indictment. _ Mr. nary conducted the preaceation. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Ballantine and Mr. l'araell. It appeared frum the evidence that was adduced in sup port of the prosecution, that the prisoner carried on the business of a potato dealer and grocer in Ratcliffe-high way, and that he was also • sort of agent for the sale of a medicine invented by • Dr. Coffin, and which was known In the neighbourhood as " composition powder," and it would appear hr sold it pretty extensively to poor people. The deceased was a child about fourteen years old, who had been an idled from his birth, and who, it was pretty evident, had suffered from a variety of painful disorders from his child hood, and that he was almost perpetually suffering from constipation of the bowels. Ile was taken very ill on the 10th July. and a day or two afterwards the woman who had charge of him applied to the prisoner, and he advised her to administer some of thccomposition powder, and she accordingly purchased a quarter of an ounce, for which she paid a penny, and she gave the child a small por tion of it. This appeared to have had some good effect ; but the pain subsequently returned, and the woman again applied to the prison. r, and he advised the use of an enema, which was composed of an American herb, called lobelia, a portion of the powder, and another herb, called valerian. The prisoner applied the enema, and the child appeared to have died a short time afterwards. l'poa a pig-modem etuuninatiuu it was discovered that the stomach and intestines of the deceased were in a dread ful state of inflammation, which was undoubtedly the cause of death, and it was alleged that the powder and the enema adntinstered by the prisoner were the causes of that inflammation. According to the medical testinao= appeared that the powder was composed of herbs banery, hemlock bark, and ginger, and cayenne peppy; and it was stated to be highly irritating, and calculated to cause inflammation of the bowels. The lobelia was also mated to be a dangerous herb, requiring great cantina in its use, and that it hail been the occasion of death in many instances, and that the effect of the administration of this herb and the powder to dogs to cause them to pass blood in a few hours. In the course of the case it appeared that some of the witnesses hail taken theisowder, and that it had done them a great deal of and that it was taken very extensively in the neigh bou r hood where the prisoner resided and considered an ezcellent remedy. It also appeared that the unfortunate deceased was moot dreadfully afflicted,' and had all his life been in the habit of taking opening medicines, rand having enemas administered to him, and that therefore his bowels were very likely to be in a state of Mr. lhillantine addre.esed the jury at some length oa behalf of the prisoner, and he contended that the evidence did nut at all establish any guilty neal , gence or rash ness on the part of the prisoner, and that ,it would be very unjust to convict him of manslaughter because the child had died, when death, in all probability, must have taken place. from the state of disease he was iu, under any eircuinstane. s, and that the medicine administered by the prisoner had nothing to do with it. The learned Judge having summed up, the jury down immediately returned a verdict of .Vut THE LATE SHOCKING COLLIERY ACCI DENTS AT BEDMINSTER, NEAR BRISTOL. The Secretary of State has deemed it to be hie duty, in consequence of the series of terrible accidents wlueb has in the course of the loot month or so occurred in connexion with the collieries at Bedminster, near Bristol, to 14'011 down an inspector for the purpose of examining and reporting on the state of the Northside and Malago Vale pits, at which the accidents referred to took place, and also to make an inspection of the collieries of the neighbour hood generally. Mr. Dickinson, the inspector of collieries in ralfordishire, Cheshire, Shropshire, Lancashire, and North Wales, was appointed by Sir George Grey to the duty, as the regular oispector fur the West of England, has recently died, and his appointment has nut yet been tilled up by the government. Mr. Dickies in upon his arrival at Bedminster, first pro eeeded to the Malago Vale pit, at which a most fatal acci dent occurred a short time since by the breaking of this rope and against the agent and bailiff of which colliery the coro ner's jury impannellcil to inquire' into the cause of death returned a verdict of manslaughter. The new rope ordered for this pit, which is of very great depth, not having beets completed the inspector was unable to make a descent of the shaft. and his stay was not of lung duration. Ile made many inquiries respecting the pit, the mode of working, • after which he proceeded to the Northside colliery, in which it will be remembered a number of men were buried fur a time alive, and two others, more recently, killed through the fall ing of portions of the shaft The in spector was aware that an accident of a very serious kind had latterly occurred at the colliery, and that the repairs of the shaft were still being proceeded with; he contented himself. therefore', by making a partial descent and inspec tion, as it is not yet safe to go below the point where the giving way upon the former occasion took place. The inspector s report will in the first place be made offi cially to the Secretary of State, but sufficient has trans pired to warrant the anticipation that it will be in substance as follows:—At the Northside colliery the inspector found the plan of timbering adopted to be of the rudest and most insufficient kind. It had neither strength to resist the lateral thrusts nor the perpen dicular weight. In going clown the shaft, he observed a number of birch sticks which had been applied for the pur pss withstanding the lateral thrusts, but in his opinion they were not capable of resisting more than the pressure of • few pounds. The whole timbering of the shalt was of a rem temporary character, such as he had never yet met with in any permanently finished shaft, even where timber ing was adoptcd in coal mines. The inspector will upon this point state, we believe, that when he represented what be observed to the proprietors. they made no objection, and intimated their readiness to adopt any suggestions which he might make, and the proprietors of the North side Colliery further informed him that it was their intention to wall up the 01:11 - t from the top to the bottom. In regard to the I Malago Vale pit, the inspector will make a particular re port. and transmit it to the government; but inasmuch as two parties are charged with manslaughter, and await thoutrials for that offence, he deems it inexpedient that any statement of his pro or eO4 should for the pre lim 14 communicated to this public. lie might, however, nbserse that he had not himself seen anything from which danger w.es to he apprehended to any individual. The col liery was certainly deficient in certain plant of the working, but he lead represented this to the proprietors, and they ass medeately undertook to procure them. In the course of his inspection of the other collieries in the Bedminster district be could not fail to observe that sufficient attention was not paid to those plans, but to all the proprietors he had named the matter, all of them had given him undertakings to pro- Isle plane immediately. It was well known, that in tease quince in this district ventilation had not assumed that ire pulsate which was attached to it among the fiery collieries. mu. ventilating processes were to a great extent unknown, sad where a regular plan was adopted, it consisted simply of a stream of water turned down the downcast shalt. The conaequenoe was that in sultry weather ' like the present. th e current of air was extremely slug roi and became tharged with what was called black damp, `dial. ..although not liable to:coplode, was very pernicious to the health of the miners, and would not support the I tonibustim i of a candle. In many small collieries fire, re 'o kindl e d at t h e b o tt om o f the shafts, and this woe Inurally sufficient to ensure good ventilation. With good shafts and good ropes there was very little danger in the descent of oats, and in the judgment of the inspector it Lea dram every case possible to judge, from the appearance of • not', whether it is in a fit and proper state: for mere to dos wend upon it. The introduction of a largo quantity of tukon IMO a rope mixed in with the hemp might boas the jadirm i nt era mining agent. but the goodness era rope would _• generally apparent in working.

In reference to the Northaide . k , .t.?nd with reference to the shaft of that colliery, it ".0 I'd be stated that the timbering there was such as was Fe - rally mod in th e district for temporary purposes, and a. foundation could be got to build the rolling upon. :7 n :retail found the managers ready to adopt every tech taggestioe of his, andbelief was that the , referred to had arisen rather from want a kaow fie man hose willishum IRELAND. AVOVST 22. Yesterday, on the invitation of the Lord Mayor, • numerous and influential meeting of members of parliament, merchants, and citizens of Dublin, and ipentkmen from various districts in the provinces, was held at the Mansion-house, the Lord Mayor presiding, for the purpose of considering " what course should be adopted to secure to Ireland the important advantairs of a direct steam communica tion with America. To carry out the object, it was resolved that a joint-stock company, with a csbpital of 500,0001., should forthwith be formed, and a pro visional committee Was appointed to report upon the preliminary step' for that purpose ; the point on the Irish coast at which the packet station should be established to be determined on hereafter. Amongst the speakers were—Mr. Grogan, M.P.; Mr. Napier, M.P.; Sir E. M`Donnell, Mr. John Ennis, Colonel Latouche, Mr. Gould, M.P.; Mr. John D'Arey, Lord Mayor Elect ; and Mr. James Power. The following is the provisional committee :—The Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor Elect, Colonel Latouche, Mr. Jonathan Pim, Mr. Napier, NIT.; Mr. Whiteside, M.P.; Mr. Patrick Sweetman, T.C. • Mr. Barlow, governor of the Bank of Ireland ; Mr. Nloylan, governor of the Hibernian Bank; Mr. G. A. Ilamilton, M.P.; and Mr. Francis Codd. The speeches were all of a prac tical kind, and the utmost unanimity characterised the proceedings. The following letter from the venerable Lord Cloncurry was read at the meeting : Msretimo.—My Lord,—ln answer to your invitation to attend a meeting on the subject of Transatlantic intercourse, I think it right to express my opinion in as few words as possible, knowing how many far more able persons are anxious to obtain a hearing on that most important subject. For the most important purpose which yuu have now met to consider I would propose a double subscription : one a subscription of benevolence, to which the humane sad wealthy of the empire might contribute as a means of raising this poor country from the abject state to which she has been reduced, the subscribers to have no responsi bility, and to seek no profit; the second to consist of capi talists willing to venture money in a speculation most likely to be profitable and useful. When eighty or one ImMred thousand pounds are collected, a first class steamer &meld be purchased, and should proceed from Galway to New York, and back to Limerick, then to. New York again, awl back be Berehaven or Valentia, or any other port it NM" Is &minable to try, giving timely notice of each yams tint cargo and passengers may be prepared. I be llies tint passengers and emigrants alone would pay all asperrea at least it would save to the country a part of the mit sass thrown away in Liverpool by our poor emigrants. • well kept log would enable proper officers to judge of, what port deserves the preference. I have visited all these , Crand do not think that in the world there are better, they are in a state of nature. Cromwell was the last parson who did anything fur the improvement or defence sr our western shores. To make Galway perfect a cause way should join Mutton Island to the shore ; the other pets would require . little more than jetties. It is objected by seamen i ni mical to Ireland, that the want of soundings ea our western coast renders it somewhat dangerous ; but many vessels coming from the west snake Ireland north of the ekelligs or Blaskets as their first land. There are no where better landmarks than the Skelligs, and a few more light-houses and fog - bells, or i ir c tins, h wou . ld prevelit all dil have; our nd fishing boats — of e 3 — h o lent t l s hl ed b l es y t pilots. Ctoxer KAT. Letters of cordial approbation were also read from Lord Castlemaine, Lord Monteagle, and Lord Talbot do The conference at which an agreement of opinion on the question of tenant right was arranged between a number of the Irish liberal members, and the council of the Tenant League, having been private, a meeting was held last night in the Music-hall, for the purpose of giving the gentlemen who took part in the conference an opportunity of explaining their views in public. There was a large attendance of presbyterian and Roman catholic clergymen on the platform, the body of the meeting being much crowded, and the following Irish members were pre sent, viz., Mr. Sharman Crawford, M.P.; John Sad lier, M.P.•, G. 0. Higgins, M.P.; John Reynolds, NI.P.; William Keogh, NI.P.; G. H. Moore, M.P. Mr. Sharman Crawford occupied the chair, and in the course of his address to the meeting said : It was alleged that in making protection by law for the rights of the tenants, they were infringing upon the princi ples of free trade. He denied that in so doing they were committing any such infrinvement. What free trade did there exist between the landlord and the tenant ? Had the tenant any freedom in his bargains with the landlord, or the landlord with the tenant ? The greater part of the 1 property of this country was under entails and mortgages to such anextent that the nominal owner, even if he was dispos.d, could not give any security to the tenant. (Hear, hear.) Therefore under the system that existed at present between the landlords and tenants of this country, there could be no real freedom of intercourse between the two classes. (Hear.) lle wanted to create freedom of intercourse by giving the man who created value the right to obtain full recompense for value. He wanted to put the tenant in • position to make a fair bargain with a landlord. (lean) Ile conceived that the state conferred on individual owners of lands in this country those lands subject to a great and important trust, in order that they should use it properly for the interests of the community—that in applying that property to their own interests they should nut do it in any manner that would injure the interests of the great body of the community. (Hear.) lie would say, therefore, that the state had • right to interfere in the administration of that property when the circumstances of the country re quired its interference. (Hear.) It was to contend for these principles that he was there to-night. (Cheers.) He never would contend for any principles that unjustly inter fered with the rights of the owners of property—(hear); he would contend for their rights in the same way that he would contend for the rights of the occupiers of property, and he would give to neither a right which was inconsistent with justice. (Hear. ) These were the views he entertained' on this question, and be had taken the liberty briefly to ex press them on this occasion. The other speakers were Mr. Keogh, NI.P., the Rev. Mr. Renton!, P.M., Mr. G. H. Moore, M.P., Mr. J. F. Maguire, of Cork, Mr. Reynolds, M.P., the Rev. Mr. Hardiman, P.P., Mr. Sudleir, M.P., the Rev. I'. Daly, of Galway, Mr. Scully. M.P., Mr. A. O'Flaherty, N1.1'., the tier. Julius NleCullagh, and the 11ev. Mr. Quedc. The following resolutions, which were adopted unanimously, sufficiently express the views of the meeting: That this meeting regard with peculiar satisfaction the arrangement wirier has been effected between Mr. Sharman Crawford and a number of influential members of parlia ment on the one side, and the Irish Tenant League on the other, relative tothe introduction of a tenant-right mea sure into the House of Commons next session. By this arrangement, without the abandonment of any fundamen tal principle on the part of the league, a larvc instilment of national justice may be secured, and the extermination of the Irish people, unprecedented as it is in the history of civilised nations, may, in the meantime, be checked in its destructive progress. That, according to a fundamental and univenally-recog nised principle of the British constitution, industnal occu pancy is the original element of all proprietary right in and over the soil of the country, °rover any portion of that soil ; hence it is absolutely necessary, for all the ends of just and constitutional government, that the products of tenant in dustry should be protected by law, and should he secured to their owners with all the inviolability belonging to other descriptions of property in the state. Every system at variance with this ignitible principle is calculated, in its consequences, to unsettle the foundations of all property, whether vested in the owners or in the occupiers of the soil. Inasmuch as multitudes of men in this country have been denied the opportunity of establishing the right which in dustrial improvement creates, by being refused that security for the fruits of their labour, without which no men will make such improvements:—Resolved, that it is just and ne cessary to ensure undisturbed occupation at a fair rent for a limited period, in order to afford honest and enterprising tenants an opportunity of creating that improvement which would entitle them to compensation. Inasmuch u the heavy arrears of rent to which the tenant farmers of Ireland have become subject during the famine years will press destructively on the hopes of future improvement, unless they are settled in sonic equitable manner, that it is essential to the interests of the country that a provision fur the fair settlement of these arrears be introduced into any bill for the arrangements of the land , lord and tenant question. That this meeting is of opinion, that for the safety of the lives and property of a large number of the Irish people now in peril, it is essential that means be taken to consti tute, without delay, a party prepared to advocate the prin ciples .aid down in the foregoing resolutions, in and out of parliament. That an address be issued to the bishops and clergy of all denomination., and the laity, earnestly requesting their asnistanee and co-operation in the settlement of the land question. The following letter has been addressed by the' Rev. T. D. Gregg to the editor of Saunders's News Legkr : 81r,—Your columns having been the medium of giving diffusion to some angry sentiments of Mr. John Reynolds with respect to me, and, I may add, very unjust senti ments too, I trust that you will hold me entitled to claim a few lines in explanation. Let me assure you that I so sin cerely commisseratu Mr. Reynolds's mortification in having been able only to collect one Irish nobleman and an English baronet to grace his assembly of priests and coalporten— for of course the agitating M.P.'s count for nothing—that I shall bear very lightly on him. Mr. Reynolds mistakes us. We never dared him to hold a meeting. We never undertook to go to battle on the subject. AU we under took to do was to assert our right to be present, and, if ad mitted, quietly and constitutionally to take a fair sham in the business, or else so completely to put the meeting and its managers in the wrong as that they should stand exposed to the world in the position of delinquents against law, order, and liberty. We have fully accomplished our put , pose. We have ascertained, beyond the possibility of • doubt, from numerous applications, that tickets of admis sion were carefully withheld from those who were not understood to be members of the clique. If tickets bad been freely granted, and space have admitted of it, I would have undertaken to have brought five thousand men to the place of assemblage, or more than that ; but having been only able to procure about six tickets, this simple fact demonstrates beyond doubt the packed character of the meeting. There remained but one test more. "Is there as much boldness, courage, honesty, and self.relisace, amongst them as to admit, when properly furnished with tickets, six hostile individuals—nay, we will make it less—will they admit four Anglo-eatho- lies among them ? Cars they afford to allow four Anglo- catholics to tell them to their face that they are usurpers ?" At the risk of our lives we applied the test and now it stands as a demonstrated result in the face of the empire, that in the Irish metropolis the Romanist party cannot, in the capacity of catholic, hold a public meeting unless it is packed, nor admit an individual amongst them, though furnished with a ticket, unless he is understood to have on him the right mark and number. Mr. Reynolds mistakes. I have had a greater victory than if I had, with three thousand men, encountered his coal-porters, and routed them at another Dolly's Brae. The victory is a moral one. The world sees right courage and liberality on the side of Protestants—wrong, terror, and intolerance on that of their adversaries. This satisfies us. One word more. Let me uan individual gar that I trust there will be no prosecution under the new act. lr he sanction is too paltry to be worth enforcement. Let the act stand as a simole test of loyalty. Give them rope enough—let them trample on it, and when they hare in both islands clearly shown what they are, let us rise with the might of one man, thrust them out of a legislature which they disgrace—wrest from them privi leges which they held but to abuse, and thus being reduced once again to serfdom in the land of freedom they will know how "to keep a civil tongue in their heads." And as to their rebellion, two hundred thousand Orangemen will know how to deal with that. Mr. Reynolds is quite safe in' calling a clergyman a coward ; it is, of course, a nark of courage on his part that he should do so. I fancy the public will hold me excused from making any sort of disclaimer to his imputation. I remain, Sir, your very faithful servant, Dundrum, August2l, 1851. T. D. Onto°.

They ran at a moderate pace, without any change of consequence, to the Middlethorpe Turn, where The Ban took the second place, Nancy being at this time last hut one, but not within two lengths of the second ruck. From this point, however, she drew up, and, at the starting-post for the three quarters of a mile, had caught her hones. In making the bend, Vermuth ran out, taking Ariosto with her, and both were out of the race. The Ban, Ninsham, Miss Flyaway, and Marlboro' Buck were now in advance, The Ban having the lead, which he held only to the road, the mare there joining company, quitting them at the distance post, and winning in a canter by three lengths, The Ban beating Marlborough Buck bye length ; Neasham fourth.

The day that has been looked forward to here with so much anxiety during the present week, as pregnant with the most important results to the fame of the British Royal Yacht Squadron, has at length arrived, and a few hours will soon set at rest the many thousand coujectures as to whether the Royal Yacht Squadron is still invincible. On no occasion since the establishment of the club has so general an interest been manifested as to any particular v,e,el as has for some weeks pervaded all classes with re epect to the American clipper. She took a cringe yesterday to the westward, and her sailing was the theme of general admiration. _ A sweepstakes was got up last night among the members of the Royal Yacht Squadron starting boats in the match, and as an incentive to success, it was arranged that a purse of 170 guineas should be the reward of the second yacht. Before making any further observations on the events of to-day, it will be necessary to revert to the race fur the Subscribers' Cup of ti/. of yesterday. From starting the Secret took the lead, accomplishing the first round as under: a. a. s. Secret Phantom Blonde The second round presented scarcely any change of their relative positions, vie.: Secret Phantom Blonde 1 59 30 On the third round the Phantom gained to a small extent on the Secret, but to very little purpose, for the latter had the issue entirely her own way. The third round was: Secret Phantom 9 46 0 Blonde 3 30 40 Whereupon Mr. Bell was declared the winner, adding an- I other prize to his already large number. For the Royal Yacht Squadron Cup, fur yachts of all nations. The following were entered with the distinguish ' ing colours Yacht... Tone. Owners. 'Beatrice lOl Sir P. Carew, Bal.

Blessailved,wbiteerom &alums ?reek Eclipse entre aurora The morning was beautifully fine, with a good breeze from the westward, and in consequence of the celebrity which this match has obtained throughout the island, the beach extending from Cowes Castle to the end of the parade was crowded with fashionable'', as the hour tot starting ap proached. In addition to the above list of vessels, the Titania. R. Stephenson, Esq. ; Fernando, Major Martyn ; and Stella, R. } rankland, Esq., were entered, but did not make their appearance off the starting point. At five mi mutes before ten the preparatory gun was fired. At ten o'clock precisely, the final starting gun was fired, and in an instant all was bustle and excitement. The utmost ala crity was displayed by the respective crews, and in less than half a minute the whole fleet was under way. The Gipsy Queen, however, first began to show her bowsprit beyond the " ruck," followed by the Volante. The lone took the third place. The utmost interest was all this time shown as to what position the crack of the day would take,' as she appeared at starting to be but leisurely following in the wake of those we have named. Bets were freely offered that if the weather was at all favourable she would carry off the prize. The course ia round the Isle of Wight, and the yachts started to the eastward, so that her Majesty, from Osborne House, would have an opportunity of seeing them ss they passed, and also affording a gratification to the visitors at Ityde, Portsmouth, &e., to witness their progress. Several steam-vessels from Southampton and Portsmouth accompanied the squadron round the island, which is not expected to return till late to•night. COWES, FRIDAY, 10.30 r.st. The 1001. Cup, after a most exciting contest, was won by the America, which beat all her competitors with the greatest ease. At the Nab the America shut ahead, and at the Needles was seven or tight miles ahead of the nearest. She carried away her jib-boom. The Arrow ran ashore at Ventnor. There were no other casualties, though it blew freshly from the S.S.W. outside. Many of thelaehts have not yet returned. The Queen went off to the Needles to see the race, and the royal yacht ran part of the way home with the America. She rounded the Needles at eight minutes to 6 o'clock, after which the wind died away, and the rest of the match was a mere drifting race. The America was loudly cheered by all ashore and afloat. The America arrived at the starting vessel at 8.3.5 p.m.; the Aurora, 47 tons cutter, Mr. T. Le Merchant, at 8.55. The correspondent of a morning paper (who says that the Volante, It. Craigie, Esq., was the second-boat) writes:— ' It is said, so far as the winning of the cup is concerned. the America has virtually lost the race, by not complying with the sailing regulations. She went inside the Nab, instead of outside. The second boat, therefore, no doubt will be declared the winner by the committee. The start was brilliant in the extreme. Eighteen yachts, of various tonnage contested for the prize. The Alarm and the Ante. rice were the last to get away from their moorings ; but off Ryde the foreigner shut a-head of all her competitors, and continued gradually to increase the gap between them ; in short, her compeer appeared to have bad no chance in the match whatever. CRICKET. THE MARYLEBONE CLUB, WITH THREE PLAYERS, V. THE LEICESTER COUNTY CLUB, WITH THREE PLAYERS. The return match between the Marylebone Club and the County of Leicester Club was commenced on Thursday, at Leicester, when, as is usual in that town, the attendance of company was numerous.

REPORT OF THE CHURCH BUILDING COMbIIS NIONEUS.—Last week the 31st annual report of her Majes ty's Commissioners for building new churches, presented to parliament, was printed. It seems that in the last report the commissioners stated that 470 churches had been cons- pleted, in which accommodation had been provided for 498,066 persons, including 291,190 free seats for the use of the poor. They. state that 27 churches have, by the aid of grants from the funds placed at their disposal, been since completed. In the 27 churches accommodation has been provided for 20,313 persons, including 14,442 free seats for the use of the poor, as far as the same can at present be a-wertained. 'thus, in the whole, 497 churches have now been completed, and provision has therein been made for 618,379 persons, including 305,632 free seats for the use of the pour. Further, the commis sioners report that 22 churches are now in course of erection, towards which they have, on certain conditions, contributed pecuniary aid from the funds placed at their disposal. The) , also state that plans have been approved of for building 1r other churches, and other plans for new churches are under consideration. DEATR OP ADMIRAL SIR HENRY HEATIICOTE. This officer died on the 16th inst., at his residence, Jugon vine, near Havre, in the 74th year of his age. The deceased was the son of Sir William Heatheote, third baronet, of Hurtley-park, Hampshire, and was born in 1777. At an early age the deceased entered the navy. In 1812 he was appointed captain of the Vapid, 74, which he commanded on the Mediterranean station at the close of the war. In 18-1,4 the deceased became an admiral. Ile was knighted on the recommedation of Sir Gore Ouseley, Burt., ambassador to Persia, and Mirza Vail Hassan, envoy from that court, whom he conveyed to Persia in H.M.S. Lion, in 11111. NUISANCE IN HOLYWELL-STREET, STRAND.—A requisition from a number of respectable inhabitants of Holywell-street and the neighbourhood has been presented to the churchwardens of St. Clement Danes, requesting them to convene a vestry meeting of the parishioner., for the purpose of considering the best course to be adopted for the suppression of the numerous shops in that street for the sale of publications of an immoral tendency. The re quisition will shortly be complied with. THE RIVER ABOVE BRIDGE.—Sir,—You cannot be unaware of the perpetual inconvenience attending a very pleasant mode of travelling upon the river from London to Kew, by the shallowness of the Thames at places. The Navigation Committee would seem for the purpose of keeping the river "unnavigable." It would be easy to make an uni:orm depth of four to five feet at low water for a channel in which steamers and barges could float and travel, but the " eating " authorities won't do that. l'ray lend your help by talking about it.—ONE INCON ENI ENCEU. AMERICAS FLOOR.—Three Hanseatic vessels have arrived in one day from New York, with cargoes of flour the produce of the United States, and imported by virtue of the repealed laws—viz., the Kosmus with 4,449 barrels, the Columbia with .5,31.1 barrels, and the Rebecca with 4,61.5 barrels of flour. The whole of these vessels belonged to Bremen. Loci ON AND NORTH WESTERN.—The govern ment inspector has made his report on the tire which oc curred in one of the London and North Western trains in July last, from which it appears that the fire originated by spontaneous combustion in a portmanteau belonging to a passeneer. The practice of carrying lucifer matches among personal luggage has before led, we understand, to similar casualties, the friction produced by the vibration of the train being sufficient to cause ignition. There is a heavy penalty leviable on the carriage of such dangerous articles, unless under peculiar precautions, and we understand that it is the intention of the director, to enforce it, whenever discovered, as an act of safety to the public. LONDON AND BLACKWALL.—The half-yearly re port of the directors of this company, to be submitted to the shareholders on Friday, states that the receipts on the revenue account, including the balance of 3911., from the previous account, have amounted to 26,0151., and the expenditure, including rates, taxes, &c., has been 15,6884, showing an increase in the receipts over the 1 corresponding period of last year of 4,4091., and a decrease' in the expenditure of 543/. The balance of the revenue account, including the profit realised upon the sale of, scrip shares, amounts to 14,2501., and deducting 2,9161. the interest on debentures, there remains 11,3041. applies- Me to dividends, which the directors recommend should , be 2s. per share clear of income-tax. The number of passengers conveyed during the half-year ending the 30th of June was 2,416,012 ; receipts, 25,102/. ; and the number conveyed at the corresponding period of 18.50 was 1,313,975; receipts, 19,1471., showing an increase in the number of passengers of 1,102,067, and in the receipts of 5,955. The gross amount which has been derived from the Dock Junction traffic is 4,3101., the number of passengers conveyed being 897,845. The alance due to the contractor on account of the extension line has been settled by the pay ment of 16,5004 in debenture. bearing interest at 4 per cent. and debentures to the amount of 4,000/., which the owners were unwilling to renew at a lower rate of interest than per cent., have been paid off. The company have been suc cessful in the several appeals instituted by them in respect of tythes and parochial assessments; the result of which will be (as is believed) to effect a saving to the company of about 8001. per annum. Your directors have every reason to be lieve that in the course of the ensuing summer the company will be deriving a considerable income froin . goods traffic be tween the city and the London and North-NI - astern Railway. It is with much regret that the directors report the rejection by parliament of the North Gravesend Extension Bill, which was most unexpectedly thrown out by the committee of the House of Lords. The investigation into the merits of this project during its . progress through parliament, confirmed the directors an their opinion that it is of great importance to this company that such an extension of their line should be made. The capital account to the 30th of June showed that 1,361,6811. had been received, and 1,366,6211. ex- pended. leaving a balance against the company of 4,9391. I The revenue acconnt for the half-year states that 26,0151. had been received, and 15,081. expended, including 1,0981. government duty, and 1,75.51. rates and taus, leaving a balance of 10,3271. MONEY MARKET. 1 HIS DAY. Tete o'Ccner. The English stock market opened at yesterday's rates, but, notwithstanding the satisfactory feature presented by the increase of nearly a quarter of a mil lion in the Bank's stock of bullion, prices have shown some degree of flatness, as sellers have formed the ma jority of operators, and the quotation of time bargains ;in Consols is 4 lower than it left off yesterday. Bu siness is upon a quiet scale, and very few operations for investment have offered. Consols opened 96; to for the account, but are now called 96 to 3, both for cash and the 11th of September. The official business list reports trans actions in the following stocks only, viz.. :—Three per Cent. Consols, 901,1 ; ditto for account, 961, :; Three per Cent. Reduced, 971, ; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 99, 981; Annuities of 30 years, expiring in 1860, 71 ; Bank Stock, 21:41, 215. Very little business is being done in the unfunded securities, but prices are firm, as sellers are not offer ing. Exchequer Bills remain quoted at their im proved rate of 4's. to 495. prem. India Bonds. 1,000!., mark 579. prem. In the foreign stock market business has been limited to a few operations in the more speculative class of securities, for which rather higher prices have been paid. Mexican, Spanish,and Peruvian have shown a tendency to improvement. A circular has been issued by the Mexican l'ommittee, in which it is intimated that the certificates representing the eight arrear coupons, and which only are entitled to the indem nity money. can be negotiated separate from the bond. Business is marked to-day as follows : Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 93,921. Mexican Beds, 29t, 29. Peruvian Five per Cents, 1849, 911, 91; ditto Deferred, 43,i.

Two o'CLocx. There has been some slight degree of flatness ob, servahle in the share market to-day, due mainly to the absence of business, but prices are generally pretty well supported, the variations being in most instances immaterial. Manchester and Sheffields, however, form au exception, being decidedly heavy, and Eastern Counties arc also ss. per share lower. Midlands, on the other hand, have been rather dearer to-day.

This priect of nearly all descriptions of colonial produce continue in favour of the Movers, hut without causing any increase in the demand. Sales of Sugar are made with dif ficulty, although importers have again accepted lower quo tations. Fur Coffee there has been much less inquiry, and SP some holders have pressed sales, a decline of fully Iv. has occurred; the native sorts of Ceylon have been sold at 395. per cwt. The late rive in the value of Saltpetre has been al:tin:anted. Black Pepper has realised a slight advance, but Pimento, which had reached lid. per lb., has receded to •i'ld. per lb. Only a moderate business has been done in Te I, at shout previous rate•. TALLOW MARKET.-THIS DAY.

CAI. to 2lii. per cwt. ; indeed, at these rates there. are not free sellers. For delivery several operations are reported, and the value is 311 s. to 395. 6 , 1. for the hat three months of the year ; at these rates some parties will not sell. Town melted is in good demand, and 375. to 375. 6d. lis the value nett cash. The consumption is also better than of late. Other sorts of Tallow are in larger demand, and a small uilvanee has been obtained ; the supply is also less than in the former week. Of colonial and foreign sloth is 8,001) casks more than last season, but the consumption is 1 larger, and rates are not much above.

WOOL MARKET.-THIS DAY. There have been several sales of German Wools this week. The firmness with which the late Colonial Wool sales closest lion given confidence, and prices are very firm. Parties are busy shipping the Wools recently bought tor export, which it is now pretty well ascertained amounts to from 8,000 to 10,000 bales.
