THREATS:NEL) DISTURBANCES IN LIXERICC.—The fol lowing is extracted from the Limerick Chronicle of yes terday A horse and car, laden with corn, of Mr. Edward Maunsell, of Meelick, for the distillery, was stopped yesterday morning on the read, by several countrymen, who ordered the driver to go back, but Mr. !faun/ell insisting that he should have a free passage, one of the party prevented a gus, and shot his horse dead upon the road. Up wards of 100 carload. of corn for this market were arrested yester day moraine, on the high road, at Shodian's-cross, and ordered to return home. Thomas O'Grady, of Grange, Esq., bearing of the interruption and disturbance likely to occur, repaired to the scene, where a crowd was assembled, and after frequent urgent renio.trinces upon the absurdity and danger of such lawless acts, they were reluctantly induced to suffer the corn to paw into market, where it arrived late; and only for the great local influence of Mr. O'Grady, and his very popular character, this tardy indulgence would not have been conceded without military aid. The landholders and merchants have applied to the commonalty officer of this dis trict, fur protection to corn and provisions coming to 'market, as the farmers are now at the mercy of any idle group upon the roods. Thursd.l, several cars of corn, from the vicinity of Nenagh, were stopped oar Rirdlill ; but were permitted to proceed to our market under a police escort. A party of men dressed In women's clothes. visited Mr. Ilealy at Mogullane, Newmarket-on-Fergus, and cautioned him against selling any of his corn. STEALING I. uoD.—Two sheep were stolen off lands near Brnailforel, county Clare, on Wednesday night. During the week several sheep have been killed in the neighbourhood of Kennitty. The carcases were carried off, but the fleeces and entiaile were left in the fields. Two cows of Mr. Dundon, of Aansholty, near Castle-Connell, were killed on Thursday night, and the carcases taken away. At Kilcolgan, county Galway, on the estate of Mr. St. George, the haggard of one of his tenants was entered by a number of persons, on Wed nesday night, who cut off all the ears of his stacks of wheat, I and left the straw. A few nights ago the house of a farmer I named Maloney, residing at Scarluff, King's County, was attacked by an armed party, who rai.ed the thatch off wt of the roof, tired four shots into the house, and ordered Ma loney te quit the place before a week. Wednesday last, during the abaenc of the inmates, attending the funeral of the late A. P. Doohui, Esq., a double-barrelled gun was stolen from the gate house of Richard Ihunmersley, Erg., Corolunty, Shinrone. COMPLAINT AND ADVICE OP AN IRISH LAND iono.—Sia,—Knoning the great circulation of your paper and the Interest you feel In the welfare of Ireland, induces me to take the liberty of calling your attention to the following. It has not occurred to me, from seeing the misery of the starving woe all around this part, though tut upon my property In this barmy, that it would add much to the popularity of Lord John Russell, If his lordship, with all the other paid servants of the eosin . try, and also such as have pensions, would now contribute 10 per cent. from their walaries towards relieving the poor in Ireland. Such sum could be easily apportioned among the 32 counties. I was very glad to hear it reported, that his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, with hie We-11th% , hoasehold, seeing the great distress of the poor of Dublin, are going to contribute laigely foe their support, in which it is said the judge), with their staff at the courts, together with the police ofiliters, poar-Lor and drainage commissioners, will most liberaly aoist. Of course it cannot be expected that such noblemen and gentlemen will also contribute for the poor in the country parts of Ireland. How meritorious such conduct will he, and what an soamplewill the present government leave for their successors in ottlot hereafter The two parties named Whigs and Tories have governed this country now for years. In what state is it in at pert at ! It has been my lot to live here now more than 30 years, foe the greater part of that period employing all the poor around my propoty, sal ought tube some judge of how the country is ruled. The fact is, the country has been jobbed and neglected, and not managed honestly. I could mention many facts, but will only state a few of our grievances. Why should a law be passed that doubly taxes my property, and many others like me, to support the poor upon property negiected by their landlords, who have wasted their incomes not in the improvement of hurl I Why pass unjust laws to tax property fifty miles trom the river Shannon, that dente , no im. provenient hum it, and where the rivers all in this part rum Into the river Boyne! We ore in this neighbourhood now to be awed ten thou sand pounds for th , improvement of a river. Why tax this county for • lunatic saylwn at Minyborough, that is one hundred mike English from the chief town, and of little use to the county? Why was it arranged to have this asylum and Carlow within ten miles of each °Cu r ! No doubt to please some Mends in power. In short, the way all the local concerns are managed, both in the counties and towns, more particularly in Dublin, no matter what party is in power, Is to obtain patnweete, and to confer favours, but at the serious coat of the public. Nothing is done for the good of the country that is not chimed with difficulties and law without end ; it would be odd If it wies otherwise, when such ken are lett volely to be settled by lawyers, and no opinion tabot from country gentlemen. I have to apnlogi•e fur intruding so long, and am, sir, your very obedient humble ser vant. T. J. Firremovos IL—Bracklyti Castle, Westmeath, Sept. 29. THE NIOYLEARY ESTATES.—Sir,—Your paper of the 22nd (natant, in stating that the Inhabitants about Moylesry, In the county of Louth, sere in a starving condition, signalised me as the owner of one of three estate• in that neighbourhood. You were, however, in an error with regard to this assertion, my brother being the owurr of the one alluded to, who has lone been too infirm to be able to visit his tenantry, but who is universally admitted to be a most kind aril Indulgent landlord, and whose practice It has been for many years to leave a sum annually in the hands of his agent for the express purpose of meeting any casual or unforeseen necessity, on account of demote to which theft or their dwellings might be exposed during the course of the year. Ido not wish, however, to Sad fault with even the errors of newspapers in these matters, since they serve to awaken attention, provided they serve not also the purposes of malignant people ; and I had, in consequence of the above notice, written for information on the subject, which, I am happy to say, is so far satis• factory that It proves the statement to have been at least greatly ex aggerated ; for since the poor house was established, five year ago, not a single pauper had been admitted into it from the parish of bloyleary.—l am, sir, your most °bolt., ACOUSTI:S Forma.—Branksea Castle, Poole, Oct. 4, UM. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH. CROWN PATROICIOR IN SCOTLAND.— Although Lurd John Russell has not the same scope for patronage here that he has in England, still small droppings are taking place. Just now the Professorship of Oriental Languages in Marischal College, Aberdeen, is vacant, and so is a deanery of the Chapel Royal—the first by the death of Professor Bendy, and the other by the demise of Dr. Bennie, one of the established mini.try. The gi and patronage dirertissensent (as Mr. Bunn would say) will take place among the lawyers. Since Peel's accession in 1841, the current of Whig promotion has been stopped, and with some three dozen advocates of both parties since added to the roll, a plethoric impatience begins to be manifested amongst the members of the long rote, which must speedily be relieved somehow. Nature apparently refuses to do any thing, and if she continue obstinate, art must be had re course to, and in anticipation of what the artificial will consist cf, some sae that Lord Murray will be raised to the peerage; that Mr. Solicitor-General Maitland, M.P. fur Kirkcudbright, will succeed nim on the bench, and that Mr. James hloacrieff will get the solicitor's gown. Others talk of the resignation of Lords Jeffrey and Moncrieff, both or either. All the three were pleaders last century, and there fore may be permitted to quit the stage with satisfaction to the community, as veterans who have done the state some service. But whither they or others of their brethren are to be the retiring judges is not yet satisfactorily ascertained, but it is manifest that some of them must "bine yont." WALES. A MAN DE9TROSIID IN A FCRNACE.-011 Banally se'n night an accident of the most terrible description took place at the Newport works. T. Jones, one of the men engaged as assistant tiller, while throwing a basket full of cinders into the furnace, b► some means or ether overbalanced him self, and fell into the funnel of this heated crucible, and in about three minutes was entirely consumed. The materials in the furnace were not more than five feet below the level of the chirging plate. The blast was immediately thrown off : yet notwithstanding every effort to save the unfortunite sufkrer, not a fragment of the body could be found. No person can state positively how it occurred; but it is gene rally supposed that the basket must have caught in a por tion of his clothes, ar in one of the leather handcuff's, and that the sudden concussion caused by throwing the basket of materials into the furnace, jerked him in. It is remarkable (eats the Monmouthshire 3lerlin) how this family has been afflicted by accidents of a lamentable description. The for mer husband of the mother was burnt to death from an ex plosion of liquid iron at one of the neighbouring works. The present husband, or father of the deceased, lost an eye and narrowly escaped a similar fate from a similar cause. Some time ago one of his brothers was most awfully burned to death on a cinder tip; and another brother had his foot burnt. Tur. Norr lffoxruezyr.—ln reference to this memorial the Carmarthen Journal aays ; Government has very con aiderar.dy offered sufficient metal for a statue in bronze of the late gallant General Nott but it is doubtful if the com mittee ran avail themselves of it on account of the great ex pense of the casting. Lord Ellenboreigh has shown himself partic;darly zealous in forwarding the erection of a fitting nionuinsnt, and has expressed his intention of visiting Car marthen in order the better to be able to give his opinion as to the ir.tended site. Colonel Trevor still seems to think that Llangtineor Hill, facing the town, is the proper place; but to look anything at that distance, it should he a column of cons:derable height and of imposing appearance, and the amount collected precludes anything of the sort. The com mittee in Carmarthen decided, it will be remembered, that the statue should be placed at the Cross. PROVINCIAL. _ LANCASHIRE. A SCHOOL FOR FEEDING . AS WELL AS TEACHING Dzs- SIITTE CHILDREN 19 ABOUT TO BE ESTABLISHED IN MANCHESTER. A committee was appointed some time ago to organise a Ragged School in that town, and hail taken steps for the purpose, but learning the success of the experiments of Shenff Watson, at Aberdeen, they inquired further into the subject, and now report in favor of an institution to be called The Juvenile Refuge and School of Industry." It may be well for the promoters and supporters of this benevolent scheme to know that all the good effected in the model institution at Aberdeen has been done without any expensive building or showy offices. The hungry and ragged children have been fed and taught in a large white.vrashed garret, which costs tome thirty shillings a year rent. If this is kept in mind at Manchester, the very first subscriptions may he spent in fulfilling the object in view, the chief requisites brag some large room, a teacher, and an order to the police to bring youthful vagrants to the refuge to be fed and taught, instead of handing them to the gaol to be punished. The committee in their report to the inhabitants of Manchester, say: " on behalf of thin inntitution, they now appeal tothebenevolenee and Christian principle of their fellow townsmen for a hearty and liberal support. Even on the ground of social economy, the support of a training school of :his kind would be a wise and prudent measure, Destitute as these children are,—hungry and naked and dirty—they are Mill maintained, Some, indeed, die early from hunger and neg lect; but the most are, at least, fed at the expense of the public, and this in the mom wasteful manner. The expense of the food which they procure hr begging is much the leant part of their mainten env... The public, in one way or other, bears the cost of the depreda tions which they commit, of the police employed in looking after them, of all the means by which they arc brought to the pollee court, monecated, and punished. The public team also the cost of the crimea which juvenile vagrants commit, when they grow up into adult criminal.. The thefts and other offence , which these com mit; the measure, of security adopted againnt them; the police to watch and control them; the courts to prosecute and try, and the prisons to confine them ; the convict ship to convey them from our shores, and the soldiers to guard them when arrived in the penal colony ; the necessity for all these originstas, is a large extent, from the fountain-head of juvenile delinquency, and lib is a ootuitant result of juvenile ragraney. So far as this is diminished, so far will Its effect. cease. At present, the criminal class is one whieh conti nually reproduces itself. The neglected juvenile vagrants, who may not become delinquent., can hardly serape the fate of growing up regular paupers, and thus the burden of poor-rates and other mea sures of relief is vet y largely increased. On this ground of pecuniary economy, we may safely assert, that every penny devoted to the support of a school of industry will be well employed. • • The course which a far-seeing economy and feelings of humanity dictate, is still more imperatively enforced upou by the obligations of Christian principle. It is not doing as we would be done by, Mallow these victims of poverty and neglect to go on, un aided and unchecked, in the dark career before them. That, as suredly, is not the way they should go, and in which we ought to be endeavouring to train them up. By the adoption of such means as have been proved appropriate, we may certainly bring about a very improved state of things in our town, and especially among its juve nile population. Juvenile begging may be done away with. Industry may be substituted for idleness, and innocence for vice. The effects produced on the children will not be confined to them, but will spread to their parents and acquaintance. The community will derive in creased power, order, and prosperity. The ponibility of doing away with juvenile vagrancy is no dream of enthusiasm. What has been done in Aberdeen, under many disadvantages, may be done with greater case in richer Manchester." ACRES Fata.—On Friday the mayor and corporation of Manchester, for the first time in their new capacity of lords of the manor of Manchester perambulated the limits and proclaimed the holding of this ancient fair. CHURCH BUILDING IN LIVERPOOL.—We (Liverpool Mail) have extreme satisfaction in being enabled to state (from authority) that the sum of 10,0001. his been subscribed up to yesterday (Friday) for providinz free parish churches for our overgrown population, particularly for our poorer brethren—in furtherance of the laudable project originated b 7 the bishop and rectors. Considering the shortness of time since their " 20,0001. subscription" scheme was first mooted, we conceive the progress thus far augurs well for its eventual realisation. THE Naw LAW POE THE SCPPRESSION OF NUISANCES is likely to induce the best result , by the exposure of various sources of disease and misery hitherto entirely overlooked or neglected. Thus, in reference to the unhealthiness of Tox teth Park, the Liverpool Mercury of Saturday says: " It may well be so, and Mr. Harbord pour ell be dismayed at the calamities affecting so many of the poo, who are diseased and dying around. Mr. Rathbone has just shown us a sketch of a row of cottages situated near the south-west corner of St. John the Baptist's Church, where the tenants must be inhaling bad air day and night. Poor Rose Rooney in the furthest of these is miserably placed; a sink runs along the side wall ; a pool of stagnant water occupies the vacant land close by, and right opposite her door is a huge receptacle of accumulated night soil. Reptiles, a specimen of which may be seen at our office, of the lizard species, which are generally found in the neighbourhood of ponds and stagnant water, crawl about in this poor woman's house, and over the beds of her children. We suppose there is no drainage in the neighbourhood, and that the lungs of the people must con tinue to be filled with pestilent vapours till the authorities set earnestly to work to save the lives of their fellow-creatures, and to prevent contagion smiting themselves." CoNvicriosie FOR Low' Cnisixays.—On Monday, 28 parties were summoned by the town council of Salford for non-compliance with the orders of the council, enjoining all chimneys used in manufacturing or other business operations to he at least thirty yards high. Mr. Gibson, the town clerk, said the cues were brought to try the question of the powers of the council under the Salford Improvement Act, which had been transferred to the town council. This regulation had been made in virtue of the powers thereby vested in the authorities to prevent nuisance from smoke; the act enjoin ing one month's notice, and a penalty of 40s. for every week the order was not complied with. Mr. Greene, if::r several of the defendants, craved delay till he made himself better acquainted with the case, which had only been put into his hands a few minutes before. After some conversation, the hear ing of several cases was adjourned till Thursday, and the court proceeded with those which thespartics concerned wished dis posed of at once. The first was that of the Manchester and Bolton R'ilway Company, for a chimney adjoining the en gine-house near Oldlield-road, not being more than 20 yards high. Mr. Simpson, on behalf of the company, said that after the amalgamation with the Leeds Company, there was a likelihood of chimney and the works altogether being removed. Mr. Gibson was satisfied with this assurance, and the court imposed a fine of 40s. per week since Aug. 1, with coats, end a further fine, to the same amount, if the chimney was not removed within two months. It was understood the live would not be levied if the nuisance was abated.— T. Toy, copper-roller manufacturer, Cook-street, fcr two chimneys; information withdrawn, defendant promising to heighten them before they were used again.—T. Bury, dyer, Blackburn-street fined 40s. for every week since Aug. 1, and costs.—J. Smith, baker, Chapel-street, said that if he could not use his chimney as it was, he must give up the baking trade altogether. Having declared his deter mination to that effect, a conditional fine of ss. a week and costs was iinposed.—Several other parties were fined in the statutory penalties under the conditions stipulated in the first use; one was withdrawn upon a tech nical objection to the description; two cases were delayed, and two withdrawn, the necessary alterations being now completed. The remaining cases were disposed of on Thurs day afternoon, in ten of them fines varying from 40s. to 10s. per week were imposed, in other ten the summonses were withdrawn, and two dismissed on technical grounds. It is said that in reference to the case of bakers' chimneys, the council will not insist on enforeing the provisions of the act. YORKSHIRE._ _ ACCIDENT ON THIS LEEDS AND BRADFORD RAILWAY. —We regret to have to record the occurrence of another accident on the Leeds and Bradford Railway, which in this instance has proved fatal. It appears that on Saturday last, when one of the morning trains from Leeds for Bradford had arrived near Kirkstall Forge, the engine driver perceived a man walking on the line at a distance of eighty yards in advance. He immediately sounded the whistle twice, but as the man took no heed he let off the steam and reversed the motion of the engine, yet all was to no purpose ; before the train could be stopped, the man was knocked down, and the whole of the carriages passed over him. His death was in stantaneous. He proved to be a labourer employed on the line, named John Johnson, about 33 years of age. The de ceased, from the nature of his employment, must have been aware of the usual times of trains arriving in that vicinity. An inquest was held on the body the same day before Mr Blackburn, the coroner for the borough of Leeds, w hen a ver dict of " Accidental Death " was returned. EXTENSIVE FIRE as Wm: tinv.—We have to record one of the most extensive conflagrations of farm property which has taken place in the East Riding for very many years. The sufferer is Mr. James Watson, of Waudby, about ten miles to the west of Hull, and four cast from South Cave, a gentleman who has long been known throughout England and on the Continent, for the superior character of his horned cattle and sheep. There appears to be not the slightest doubt that this great destruction of property is the work of an incendiary. Fourteen stacks, containing the whole of the wheat and hay, and nearly the entire crops of an extensive farm, were destroyed. The leas in money value is about 2,0001. WARWICKSHIRE. THE COVENTRY SCHOOL OF DESIGN appears to be in a prosperous state. The attendance at the convents:limn on Monday evening exhibited a cheering indication of the interest which is felt in the welfare of this institution by the influential and intelligent classes of that city. On Tuesday evening above five hundred persons, including a large pro portion of artisans, attended the exhibition of the school, to inspect the varied specimens of art exhibited on the occasion. WESTMORELAND. THE ANNIVERSARY MEETING OP TUE APPLEBY AND KIRaBY STEPHEN AORICCLTURAL SOCIETY took place On Saturday last. The show of cattle was large and of excel lent quality. At the dinner which formed, of course, an important part of the proceedings, the chairman, Mr. Alder man Thompson, M.P., said, in reference to the position of the English f armer since the repeal of the corn-laws, " Although you will have to meet and compete with the cheap produce of the foreigner, by no means despair. The landlord, the farmer, and the labourer mast feel their interests to be martial. The landlord must open his purse-strings wide. (Cheering.) He must enable the tenant to drain his land. (Renewed cheers.) He must instruct him in the benefit of the tank system by which he may . save the liquid manure—which I am sorry to see, not only in this country but in other countries, running down the gutters instead of being received in the tanks. (Hear, hear.) A gentleman, whom I am always proud to call my friend, Mr. J. Harris , m, of Low-field, told me that when he had his stock tied up he produced no less a quantity than six tons of liquid manure weekly. Now what would be the trivial expense in the formation of the tanks c-'mpared with the benefits which would result therefrom ? I state from the experience which I have had of the skill, the energy, and the indomitable per severance of the British farmer, that Ido not despair. You may expect lower prices and increased competition, but if you have your land well-drained and dry, and take care of your manure, I doubt not but we shall still have the plea sure of seeing your wealth increased, and peace, happiness, and contentment prevail." • THE REMAINS OF THE LATE COMMODORE OF THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON were on Thursday deposited in the mau soleum at Brocklesbury. The coffin was borne by the seamen of his yacht, the pall by the officers. The old Earl is laid with his fathers, and the Rentrel being no longer the property of a member of the Roy al Yacht Squadron, will return to Cowes under the red ensign, will be dismantled, and laid up. The office of Commodore will be executed by the Vice-Commo dore till the next general meeting (May next), when he will, it is supposed, as a matter of course, be offered the commo dorseship of the squadron. DEVONSIMIE. A DOUBLE SUICIDE AT liiirraTl-On Friday week, two factory girls, Mary Ann Oldridge and Jane Smith, were visited by a man of indifferent character, from whom Old ridge contrived to possess herself of half-a-crown to get some liquor with, and never returned, the other following her, The man subsequently meeting with them, threatened to expose them to their employer, Mr. Newbery, silk factor, if they did not immediately return him his half-crown. Not having sufficient to make up the required sum, the threat ap pearedto operate so powerfully upon their minds, that they went to the neighbouring chemist and purchased 3d. worth of arsenic, with which they resolved to destroy themselves. They then returned to work at the factory, and on leaving at night went to a public-house kept by a person named Taylor, where they mixed the poison in some cider and drank it. Oldridge died in dreadful agony on Wednesday, and Smith in twenty-four hours after. On Friday last an inquest was held on the bodies of the unfortunate women, when the jury, after several hours' deliberation, returned a verdict of fete de se. Both bodies were interred late at night in the parish churchyard. SANITARY STATE or PLINOUTII.—A correspondent states that the inquiries, made under direction of the Local Health of Towns' Association at Plymouth, have terminated, and have elicited some 'twain facts. Eleven thousand persons (nearly one-third of the population) live in single rooms. There arc 625 rooms with four inmates in each room, 320 with five, 266 with six, 112 with seven, 49 with eight, 14 with nine, 8 with ten inmates and upwards. There are 9.56 houses without any drain, 753 without town water laid on, and 607 without privy or water-closet. BERKSHIRE. A LANDLORD'S NEOLECT.—An inquest was held yester day afternoon at the Free-house, is Clewer-street, Windsor, THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1846. before W. Marlin, Esq., coroner, on the body of a child, named Jane Archer, about three years of age, who was suf focated, on Saturday, in consequence of having fallen through the boarding of a privy. Upon the jury returning from viewing the spot where the accident occurred, the coroner ob served, that the place was in a most infamous state ; the one or two boards still left on the floor being loose, and the whole in a moat dangerous condition. The jury concurred in the remarks of the coroner, and after strongly animadverting upon the carelessness of the landlord, who had been applied to, and refused to put ti - 4 premises in a safe state, returned a verdict of " Accidental death." PRISON BaßSKlNG.—Yesterday morning, a man, named Edmund Fidler', who had given himself up as a deserter from the 28th regiment of foot, on Saturday last, effected his escape from the Windsor borough gaol, by breaking through the ceiling and roof of the room in which he was confined, and then letting himself down into the back premises of the Five Bells public-house, which adjoins the prison. Mr. Parker, the landlord, ikeing the man come rolling over the roof of an outbuilding in his yard, and quietly walk out into the road towards the Great Park, immediately gave informa tion to the gaolor, when the prisoner was pursued, retaken, and more securely confined. ESSEX. . . _ Ova OP THE MOST DARING BUROLAIIIEB that has of late years been committed in Essex, was effected on Mon day at the Red Lion inn, South Weald, the premises of Mr. Pain, hone-dealer. Horse-dealers attending fairs frequently keep large sums of ready money in their possession, as the parties who committed this robbery were no doubt aware, if not of the fact that • considerable sum was to be found in the house in question. Mr. Pain, it appears, retired to rest at his usual time, and about two o'clock in the morning was alarmed by having the window of his room forced in, and ail or eight men wearing masks and otherwise disguised, entering the apartment. They told Mr. Pain, who is advanced in years. they did not want to hurt him, but they would have his money, on which he got up and went down stairs, followed by several of the men across the taproom to another staircase, leading to the room of Mr. George. Smith, his grandson, in the front of the other end of the house. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Horsley, Mr. P.'s daugh ters, who slept in the adjoining room, entreated them not to hurt their father, promising, if they aid not, to show them where the money was. The villains then rifled their pockets of the contents ; but they did not take • gold watch and various articles of jewellery belonging to Mrs. Smith. They next went to the grandson's room, and called him by name, and, drawing the curtains round his bed, told him if he did not lie quietly they would kill him. They then returned to Mr. Pain's room, where, during his absence, most of the gang had been ransacking his I drawers, as the contents were strewed about. From a strong chest, which they broke open, they took a small iron box away with them, containing 1741. in 10/. sod 51. bank notes and sovereigns, a canvas hag with eleven sovereigns, thirty-three old guineas, and a number of docu ments. They all appeared well-dressed slightly-made young men ; some of them wore Newmarket-cut coats, and one of them had crape on his hat. The thieves left behind a short ladder and a black glazed calico pocket torn from a great-coat, and in which holes had been mule to see through. It is concluded that they cut their hands with the window-glass, some blood being found sprinkled about the room, and one of the men cut his throat with the glass in breaking in, as Mrs. Horsley states that she saw a wound, and the party took • shirt from her box, belonging to Mr. H., which he bound round it, and took away with him. Mrs. Smith went to the window to give an alarm, when two stones were thrown, but fortunately both missed her. musk. NEW PIANOFORTE . COSIFOSITIONs.—It is not often that we have much satisfaction in hearing or perusing the pianoforte music of the present day. While the instrument itself, by the skill and ingenuity of our Broadweods, iiirk mans, Clementis, and Beards. has gradually come to surpass every other in the extent and variety of its powers, those powers have been more and more abused by the present generation of performers, who have reduced a most noble instrument to a machine for the exhibition of feats of manual dexterity. Their style of execution has in a great measure nullified and rendered useless the greatest improvement which the pianoforte has received—that full, prolonged tone which enables it, under the hand of a fine performer, to emulate the effect of vocal music. It is not yet forgotten bow John Cramer taught it to sing, when it was a much less perfect instrument than it is now ; and the numerous performers, both public and private, who were formed in his school, all acquired, more or less, that legato touch, that cantabile style, which has now given way to loudness and rapidity. The name of t is inimitable artist reminds us of his sentiments on this subject, as lately expressed by him in some prefatory remarks to a musical publication :—" The compiler," he says, " is induced to intrude here a few words upon the peculiar style and apparent object of what is com monly denominated' the modern school ' of instrumental play ing and composing, so universally in vogue in the present clay. He is one, he believes, not likely ever to be found overlooking the essential importance, the absolute necessity, to every artist and performer, of a solid and well-matured technical dexterity. He is not insensible to the real value, in the pro duction of accessorial effect, of difficulties of execution, throughout the universal domain of art. He well knows to what large extent there enters into that compound of de lightful sensations excited by a masterly performance, the extremely pleasurable emotion arising from a perception of obstacles overcome. Nor will he, he presumes, be held to be wholly ignorant of the amount of that feeling experienced (perhaps sometimes monopolised) by the performer himself. But this particular ingredient, in the composition of the artistic enjoyments, is assuredly not the legitimate end—it is not, legitimately, made even a prominent feature among the many higher constituents, of a real Art. Its effect is merely a certain temporary astonishipent, an excited curiosity allay e.',—for the most part barren of all other result. It plays round the head, but comes not near the heart. To find, then, such works as those which are already over much the rage of the present day, set up as models for youthful and general emu lation,—to see their performers and composers elevated into founders of schools for the universal extension of such prin ciples of composition and artistic achievement,—is indeed, and the compiler makes bold to confess it, a tax sore and in tolerable upon the patience of one, like himself, whose life has been spent in the grateful and venerating admi ration of the works of the giant composers, living and flourishing in the days (now distant) of his youth." No one who knows this illustrious artist will ascribe his lan guage to the feeling of the laudator tempor is act i ; as no man has ever been more alive to the real progress of his art. It is the language of sound philosophy and pure taste. Among the mountains of music-paper, however, bristling with sharps and fiats, and black with demisemiquavers, in imitation of the fantasias of Thalberg, Liszt, Dopler, and De Meyer, we find productions of a better school ; compositions in which novelty of thought and freedom of style are com bined with the regularity, symmetry, melody, and clearness of the older masters. In the pianoforte music of Mendel.- Rohn, Sterndale Bennett, Itosenhain, Lindsay Stoner, and Stephen Heller, we find the fruits of the study of Bach, Mozart, Clementi, Beethoven, and Cramer. It is to some recent productions of STEPHEN HELLER that we wish now to call the attention of our readers. They are short pieces, ten in number, entitled " Penske, Fugitives ;" each piece having a title indicating its peculiar character or expression —as, " Passi.," " Souvenir," B,:e. M. Heller is a young Parisian artist who has already become highly distinguished; and the re:eption given to his works is a favourable sign of the cur rent of public taste. We cannot better characterise these pieces than by saying that they are much akin, in style and spirit, to Mendelssohn's celebrated " Songs without words." The theme of each of them is a flowing and expressive melody which stands out in clear and distinct relief from the rich and varied accompaniment. The subject, without ever being lost sight of, is expanded and embellished by elegant, and often brilliant passages and masterlymodulations; and the movement is terse and compact, witheut being so prolonged as to induce fatigue. This descripeion is applicable to all of them, though some have struck cur fancy rather more than others. We have been particularly charmed with the third, which is a " romance." A delicious vocal strain runs through it, which is sometimes heard in the upper, sometimes is the under, and sometimes is the middle part, and always with a graceful and delicate accompaniment. With words, it would make a beautiful song. We may observe, by the way, that, in the tenth bar from the beginning, the C in the bass ought to be marked sharp. The eighth, a " caprice" in F minor, is exceedingly expressive and simple in effect, though the pecu liar use of sencopation in the melody will puzzle many per formers. The ninth, " Inquietude," is, to our feeling, the moat lovely of them all. It is very brief, filling only three pages; but every bar tells. In the fourth bar from the beginning, the last D ought to be marked natural; and the same omission occurs where the passage is repeated. These are the pieces we like the most ; that which we like the least is the " Reverie" dedicated to Moscheles, which is too laboured and too like a pianoforte study. Taking them altogether we recommend them to the attention of good plsyers ; for, though they are free from the unmeaning dif ficulties of the day, yet they require taste, feeling, ex perience, and no small command of the instrument. riggers and shipwrights. She has been new rigged with top masts and top-gallant masts; her funnels taken down, and various improvements made to counteract her tendency to lurch, and to obviate the evils previously manifest. The Scourge, s. v., Commander Caffin, is at present at Woolwich, undergoing some slight repairs. She is under orders to convey troops to Guernsey. The Black Eagle, s. v., Muter Commander Cook, arrived front Ostend en Sunday, having conveyed over her Serene Highness the Princess of Saxe Weimar. The contractors for the erection of iron sheds, Messrs. Fox, Hendefson, and Co., have commenced the erection of a new iron shed over the slip No. 4. It will be considerably larger than the old shed, and will afford ample protection for the men whilst at work.

FILENCH NATT.—Orden have been given at Cherbourg to complete, as soon as possible, the Henri IV., of 100 guns, which has been seventeen years on the stocks. The steam frigate Le Sane', 5.50 horse-power, is ready to he launched ; her engines are also ready. The Newton, steam-corvette of 220 horse-power, is also getting ready for sea . Tontors. SEPT. 29.—Besides the steam-frigates Descartes and Asmodi , e, which have joined the squadron, the Castor, Pingottin, and Brazier, steamers, have left successively for the Gulf of Spezzia. The Castor returned on the 27th at seven in the evening, but kept her steam up, and was out at sea again in half-an-hour, with despatches for Prince de Joinville. On the 28th, the squadron cast anchor at the Hyeres Islands. NAVAL. PORTSMOrTR, MONDAY.--A court-martial was assembled on board the Victory this morning to try Lieut. C. G. Crawley of the Avenger steam-frigate, by his own request, on a charge of improper conduct. The court was composed of Rear-admiral Hyde Parker, president ; Captains, Pasco, of the Victory, Chads, of the Excellent, Williams, of the Avenger, Lushington, of the Retribution, and Stanley, of the Rattlesnake. It was believed that the charge was the result of a conspiracy between the boy (who was his servant) and four or five of the ship's company wlao had been punished for neglect of duty. The finding of the court was, " The court as of opinion that the charge has not been proved against Licut. Crawley, and it appears to be frivolous and vexatious, and the court doth adjudge him, the said Lieut. Crawley, to be fully acquitted," The president added, " I have great pleasure in returning you your sword, Licut. Crawley, and at the same time beg to state that you leave this court without the slightest blemish on your character." The St. Vincent arrived at Spithead from the squadron of evolution this day. She can bring no news, having left the squadron before the Avenger and the Retribu tion. The Maria Somes transport arrived here on Satur day from the Cape of Good Hope, which she left on August 4. The Resistance, from Monte Video, bad reached Simon's Bay with the reserve battalion of the 45th regiment, and was to be followed by the Apollo with the 73rd regiment, which was daily expected. There is no confirma tion of the death of Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, Bart., com mander of the Ilelena, and a hope, therefore, is entertained, although most of the officers of that ship had been unable to do their duty, that the report of his death is incorrect.; The Gladiator, st. v., Captain Robb, has completed her , repairs at Woolwich. It is reported that she is to be placed at the disposal of Sir Henry Pottinger, to convey that gallant officer to the seat of his new government. The Sidon, s. f., Captain Henderson, is still under the hands of the Deptford MILITARY. CHATHAM, Om. s.—This morning the 57th Regiment, recently returned from India, proceeded from this garrison en route for Canterbury. The Ist division comprising three companies, under command of Major T. Shadfinth, marched at six o'clock ; the 2nd division of three companies, com prising the head-quarters, march to-morrow morning; and the other two divisions on the two following days. The regiment is 800 strong. The 37th, under orders for Ceylon, is expected to leave this garrison at the latter end of this month ; the strength of this regiment is to be raised to 1,200 men, and out of that number they will form a four-company depot. DEATH OF COLONEL LORD JOHN SOMERSET.—CoIoneI the Hon. Lord John Thomas Henry Somerset, Inspecting Field Officer of the Bristol district, died on Saturday last at Weston-super-Mare, in the 60th year of his age. He had been ill for some months, and had removed to Weston-sur- Mare under the advice of his medical attendants. Lord I. pe T. Somerset was a son of Henry the fifth duke, brother of the late, and uncle of the present Duke of Beaufort. His lord ship was born on the 30th August, 1787, and was married on the 4th December, 1846, to the Lady Catherine Anaesley, daughter of Arthur first Earl of Mountnorris. Lord John Somerset catered the army at an early age. He was at the battle of Waterloo as a staff officer, and received an honorary medal. He was appointed Inspecting Field Officer of the Bristol district a few years since, on the promotion of Colonel Faunce. SPORTING. TAT7ERSALLI.I-3107DAY.

POLICE.-YESTERDAT. MANSION-HOUSE.— A RUFFIAN. A young man named William l'ayne was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having made desperate assaults upon the police. He hail frequently, upon previous occa sions, been summarily convicted at the Mansion House, and at sonic of the metropolitan police offices upon accusations of a similar kind.—John M'Dougal (city policeman, 659) stated that at 12 o'clock on Saturday night, he saw, while on duty in Bishopsgate, the prisoner strike a young gentleman in the mouth, and knock him down. Witness interfered, and tried to prevail upon the prisoner to go on, hut he began to knock down the bystanders right and left, struck the witness, and kicked him most violently, and in the most dangerous manner. Several policemen then came up, and the prisoner asaaulted them, and tried to do them the most serious injuries with his feet and his fists. The prisoner had a mob of vagabonds cheering him on and assist ing him.—Mr. O'Donohue, a watch-maker, deposed to the violent conduct of the prisoner, and the Lord Mayor said as summary convictions had no effect upon the prisoner, the city solicitor should prosecute him at the Old Bailey. Com mitted to Newgate for trial. WORSHIP-STREET.—Svsnntsio.--A married wcman, named Anne Sinner, the keeper of an eating-house in Spitalfields, was charged with having stabbed a journeyman skindresaer, named Daniel Crawley, with a carving-knife.— Serjeant King, of the II division, stated that at 12 o'clock on Saturday night he saw the man Crawley staggering with both his hands clasped closely over his side, from which blood was pouring in great profusion. The man exclaimed that he had been stabbed to the heart. Witness instantly ran to his assistance, and having applied his handkerchief to the wound to check the hemorrhage, conveyed him into the prisoner's shop, and, on asking who had inflicted the injury, he pointed out the prisoner. Mr. Hart, the parish surgeon, probed the wound, which he pronounced to be most probably mortal, and directed the man's immediate removal to the hospital. On reaching the stationhouse, the prisoner de clared that Crawley had been sent to her house by her land lady to ill-use her, and that she considered she had a right to defend herself. Crawley positively denied having given the slightest provocation, and said that having gone to her shop to purchase some meat, for which she demanded more money than he was provided with, the prisoner, who ap peared to be highly excited, suddenly seized a carving-knife from the hand of a shopman and instantly stabbed him in the side.—On being called upon for her defence, she stated that Crawley bad assailed her in the first instance, by pulling her about in an improper manner, and that, having the knife in her hand at the time, she must have accidentally stabbed him in her efforts to extricate herself from his hands. —Mr. Broughton ordered the prisoner to be remanded for a week, and directed the serjeant to give him timely notice of any alteration in the state of the wounded man, in order, if necessary, that he might proceed to the hospital and take his deposition. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—THE New LA w or SETTLEMENT.—Lacy, one of the officers of St. George's parish, brought Harriet Arundel, a widow, who had evidently seen better days, before Mr. Hardwick, for the purpose of stating her melancholy case. The woman had resided, during the lifetime of her husband, in the parish of St. George's for several years. Her husband died, leaving her with five young children in such reduced circumstances, that she seas obliged to apply to the parish for assistance. As her settlement was with the parish of Marylebone, her husband having been apprenticed there, the officers of St. George's caused her to be regularly passed to Marylebone, where an allowance of 51. per week was given her towards the support of herself and family. As soon as the New Settlement Act, by which it is provided that a resi dence of five years shall confer a settlement, came into operation, the authorities of Marylebone stopped the weekly allowance. The widow fell into arrears with her landlord in consequence, and she and her children being in a state of starvation, she applied to the officers of the pariah of St. George for relief. She was told that the parish of St. George was exonerated from the burthen of her sup port, as she had been regularly passed to Marylebone, and no dispute had occurred as to her settlement with the latter parish. She went to Marylebone parish, and begged the allowance to be continued. She was given to understand that the new act had relieved Marylebone from the necessity of contributing towards the maintenance of herself and children, and that she must apply to St. George's, where she had gained a settlement by living in that parish more than five years. The woman acting on advice, went to Mr. Rawlinson, the magistrate of Marylebone police court, and was then told to make an application to the Marylebone board the following day. She went, but was told that no atten tion whatever would be paid to her case. Lacy said he had investigated the poor woman's case and had found that she wag a very deserving object. He did not know what would have occurred had he not relieved the poor woman with a trifle out of his own pocket, and had not the magistrate (Mr. Hardwick) kindly ordered her last week a trifle from the poor box.—Mr. Hardwick looked to the new act, and said he did not find any power in it for a magistrate to interfere in such a case. He was of opinion, however, that the officers of Marylebone took an erroneous view of the statute. It appeared to him that the woman was still legally en titled to relief from Marylebone, and he should advise her to go into that parish and make a regular claim for relief.— Lacy said if Marylebone disputed the settlement, and would pass the woman back to St. Georges, he was sure the authorities of St. George's would be willing to try the ques tion. In the mean time, however, the poor creature and her children could not be allowed to starve.--The woman said she understood there were other cases is which Marylebone parish refused relief.—The woman then left the court (after receiving ss. from the poor box) with the intention of getting a lodging in Marylebone, and making another application for relief. LAMBETH.—IMPUDENT HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Yester day, Thomas 31' Dotmold, a smart looking young fellow, was placed at the barbefors Mr. Elliott, for final examination on a charge of highway robbery.—Miss Elizabeth Rolph deposed that on the night of Sunday week she was returning home with a bundle containing a dress and other articles ; and on getting into one of tho narrow streets off Waterloo-road, the prisoner rushed upon her with considerable violence, knocked her down, and, snatching her bundle, ran away with it. The witness pursued the prisoner, crying " Stop thief," and never lost sight of him till he was captured in Stamford-street. —A witness, who saw the prisoner throw away the bundle in his flight, deposed to the fact, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. SOUTHWARK.—DISTREBSINO ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.— Yellerday, Eliza Jarvis was charged with making a deter mined attempt upon her life the preceding morning, at a coffee-shop in the Waterloo-road. Having engaged a bed for the night, she requested that her breakfast might be sent up to her in the morning, with a slice of bacon and a knife and fork. Her wishes were complied with, and a con siderable time having elapsed, the landlord knocked at the bed-room door. The defendant answered in a feeble tone of voice, requesting that he would send the servant girl up to her and the latter, upon entering the room, dis covered the defendant lying on the bed, holding her right arm, from which the blood was flowing into a basin on a chair by the bed-side. The knife which they sent up with the bacon was lying close by with blood upon it. A medical man was immediately called in, who stated that no danger was to be apprehended, and the defendant was given into custody.—Acting-Inspector Simmons, L division, stated that inquiries had been mode respecting the defendant, and that it was ascertained she was the wife of a merchant in Bush lane in the City, who had some time since failed for 44,0001.; that he bad absconded, and a reward of 3001. was offered for his apprehension. Since the flight of her husband, the de fendant had been lodging at a house in White-street, South wark. and was supporting herself on a small weekly pittance, which she was allowed by parties whom she did not know, but whom she had reason to believe were friends in the country. —Her landlady said that for some days she had been in a very desponding condition with regard to two of her children who had been taken from her and placed at a boarding- school. Their board and education were paid for by un known parties, and the defendant possessed the idea that the children would be taken away from her entirely, and be deprived of a mother's love. This circumstance preyed heavily on her mind, and to it the landlady ascribed this attempt on her own life.—Mr. Seeker put some questions to the unfortunate woman, with a view that she should explain the cause of her having attempted suicide, but she merely said that her misfortunes were great, and that she could not bear up against them. She, however, now regretted what she had done in her excited state, and would not attempt the like again.—Mr. Seeker said, that in the defen dant's condition of mind he could not take her own word, and that it was necessary she should find two sureties of 101. each to be bail for her.—The defendant, not being provided with the required sureties, was committed, the magistrate giving directions that the ease might be mentioned to the governor of the gaol, in order that due attention should be paid. THAMES. ORATE-YARD NUISANCE. Mr. Henry Staples, one of the trustees of St. George-in-the-East, and Mr. Rainer, trustee and chairman, accompanied by Mr. Finlay, the parish constable, waited yesterday upon Mr. Ballantine, to request his advice as to how they should act under the following circumstances :—Mr. Finlay said that there was a graveyard to the rear of the row in Cannon street, abutting on Watling-street, which was a source of great and general complaint. It had existed there for forty years, and was now so overcrowded with the dead that coffins had to be smashed, and bodies broke up, to make room for new occupants. The stench from the place was intolerable, and the effluvia from bodies decaying so near the surface produced a most dangerous miasmatic effect.—Mr. Ballantine • How can I help you in the matter ? I see no remedy but by indicting the proprietors, or the parties who, by turning the bodies out of the earth, occasion the nuisance. —Mr. Staples: The scenes which occur there daily are horrid. Bones with the flesh adhering to them are dug out of the old graves, and afterwards removed, for I know not what purpose. Some were removed last night, and the effluvium was terrible.—Mr. Ballaatine . I do not know how you are to proceedi except by indictment. I have no power to waist you. It isnot impossible that your application may go forth to the public, and something may be suggested by that means. The applicants then thanked his worship and withdrew. WANDSWORTH. A DEAR WALNUT. Yesterday, Thos. Chandler and Ily. Ell, two young men, were charged with stealing walnuts, the property of the Earl of Lonedale. —Police-constable Holland, of the V division, proved that he saw the prisoners, with ;ix other young men, knocking down walnuts from a tree in an enclosed field at Barnes, be longing to Lord Lonsdale. He apprehended Chandler at the time, and found one walnut on hun. lie did not take the other prisoner until the evening.—The Earl of Lonsdale'e agent said it was not the value of the walnuts, but the de struction of fencing, that induced him to come forward against the prisoners. —Mr. Clive said, these practices must be stopped ; and the prisoners, instead of being allowed the option of paying Cline, would be committed for seven days each. MONEY MABICET. MONDAY EVENING. The quotations leave off rather better to-day in Consols, but the market was far from haring a firm aspect. If, as believed in sonic quarters, the speculators for the fall have oversold themselves, present prices may not only be supported, but perhaps even slightly advance, as the settling day (the 14th inst.) draws near. The rates last quarter were 951 to 4 for both money and account. Exchequer Bills, 13s. to 1.55. premium. India Bonds, 725. to 255. premium. The only feature in the foreign market was an unex pecti d rise in Buenos Ayres bonds. On Saturday they were, as for weeks before, called 41 to 3 ; to day they mounted at once to 45 to 50. The appearance of two or three buyers on the market sufficed to cause the difference, for it does not appear that any real business was done after all. This stock, it may be observed, was originally brought out by a powerful house, and was distributed, therefore, in substantial quarters, capable of holding in any emergency, and little of it thrown upon the market. In these respects it was unlike most of the other Spanish American loans, which fell into the hands of contracting parties not always adequately qualified with capital to hold any large portion themselves, nor possessing the extensive credit and moneyed connexions which would enable them to place out any large amounts in solid hands, with a view to real investment, and which would not, there fore, be carried to market for the take of premiums. The bonds of loans so circumstanced were, in consequence, mostly placed with weaker holders, or found their way into the Stock Exchange, where they were taken for premiums or speculation only. The sudden advance in Buenos Ayres bonds was founded upon the belief, and the positive assertion indeed, that hos- ' tilities had absolutely ceased in the Raver Plate, and that conditions of peace had been agreed with the Argentine government; these assumed facts were deduced from an official document for partially opening the navigation of the Parana. Now it is net improbable that peace would be the result of the negotiations which Mr. Heod, the new envoy, would seem to be so successfully carrying on, according to the last accounts, and which he is well qualified to bring to an honorable termination ; but no positive conclusion had at the last published dates been arrived at. The blockade of the intervention squadron had not been raised ; the contest in which this country was so rashly involved was not, therefore, arranged. The Parana, expressly in compliment to Mr. Hood, was only opened provisionally and partially, for " the merchant vessels which remain at Corrientes and ma be returning ;" and the " Anglo-French vessels of war which may go up or down the river Parana," which arc to be allowed to " pass without molestation, until oth,.rwise ordered." All this was known and published here some ten days ago. tiniest, therefore, a more recent arrival shall have brought the formal advice of the conclusion of peace, we are clearly not more advanced in the knowledge of the fact than before. Other foreign stocks remain with little alteration, and with as little business in them. Mexican are quoted 241 to 51. Brazilian, 8.54 to 74. Peruvian, 36 to 8.

The market was yesterday heavy for shares and scrips generally. In North British a partial re-action took place upon the late continuous decline ; the shares were done I/. better. In other lines the transactions were of little con sideration ; and the indisposition to embark in speculative dealings was evident. The Scottish Railway Gazelle re ceived this evening gives a deplorable account of fhb mischief done to the North British line by the floods following the " heavy and continuous rains " on Monday and Tuesday last week. The business at Livelpool was limited, without any im provement in prices. The Manchester share-market was very depressed. Prices were generally lower. The business at Birmingham was again trifling, and prices for nearly all descriptions of scrip had a downward tendency. There is manifestly a growing inclination on the part of speculators to ease themselves of scrip as speedily as possible. [Our attention has been directed to our notice of the Bir mingham market on Saturday, with reference to Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; by an inadvertence it was printed, sales at 53. 2d. dis. instead of 51 d.] At Leeds there was a moderate business done at genet ally lowering prices. North British (Carlisle Branch), and West Riding Unions, continued in demand, at a decline of 35. per share each. Leeds and Thirsk lowered 55., and Ormskirks 7s. Gd. per share. Huddersfield and Manchester realised Is. per share more. MEETINGS THIS DAY. Warwick and iioreeste 1 p.m.—Larne, Belfast, and Ballymena, London Tavern, 2 p.m. PROVINCIAL.—SREFFIELD, ROTHERHAM, AND Contr.—The first meeting of this company was held at Wakefield, on Monday.
