THE GOVERNORSHIP OP BOIIRAY.—It was reported a short time since, that the Earl of Dalhousie had been ap pointed Governor of Bombay in place of Sir G. Arthur, who had resigned front indisposition. We have good authority for stating that Lord Dalhousie denies having received any intimation of such app intmeat, sad that he regards the contemplation of it by the government as extremely limpets bible.

HATFIELD, SATURDAY NIGHT.—In this journal the prevailing gaieties, in honour 9f the queen's visit to the Marquis of Salisbury, were brought up to the hour of dinner. It now remains to supply the further details of the festivity, which was prolonged to an advanced hour in the morning. The Mayor of Hertford arrived at Hatfield House shortly alter seven o'clock last evening, expressly to present to her Majesty and to Prince Albert the cowritulatory addressee agreed upon by the corporation or Hertford. The Queen, at ended by the Sari of Morton, Lard in Waiting ; the Countess et Gainsboreugh, Lady in Waiting; the Hon. Mies Daleamaj Maid of Honour; and Colonel Buckley, Equerry Is Wait big; and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Mr. G. H.

The Mayor, after baring had the honour to be introduced to her Majesty by the Marquis of Salisbury, and then handed to the Queen the following loyal and repasellal address from the.ancient town of : to Yu mash non itussilinix nalsre.

At the; onclusion of the ceremony, the Queen, resting is the arm of the Marquis of Salisbury, descended from the magnificent saloon to the great hall, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the distinguished circle at the n following in succession. As her Majesty and party= i n the ball, the full band of the militia played the national anthem; and remained stationed in theltaist or Lionstairease, and continued to peening/ selections of music throughout the evening. The Queen and his Royal Highness PrinceConsorteat in precisely the same order as on the previous evening, the noble host again sitting on her Majesty's left hand. The benquetiac board exhibited a superb display of plate. Coven were laid for 44 personages, and among the guests were the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Rutland, the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, the Earl and Countees of Browalow, the Earl and COunfeee Spencer, the Earl of Morton , tht; Counter of Oath:thorough, the Earl Talbot, Viscount Mel bourne, Viscount Ingests*, Lord and Lady Braykooke and Hurling Naval., Lord Saudys, Lard and Lady Cowley, Lord Marcus Hill, Lord and Indy Charles Wellesley, Lord and Lady Beanvale, Mr. James M.

Starkey, the Hon. Mies Damien, Colonel Buckler, Colonel Seymour, Mr. G. E. Anson, be. The Rev. P. Faithful, as on the previous day, delivered grace. The banquet Was sunset:me in the 'ex treme, and fully creditable to the high atatlon of the noble host, and to the acceptance of his illusuioua guests. The ball was brilliantly lighted, which contributed to the splen dour of the eitsewale. An idea may be conceived of the really sumptuous character of the bentret, when we state that there were eight y - e ight different dishes.. Owing to the ball that was to succeed the banquet, it was arranged that the royal party should assemble at dinner rather earlier, but it was nearly ten o'clock when the Queen retired from the ball. The gallery, the winter dining-room, the library, and the extensive range of elegantisaloons, were during dinner bril liantly lighted by innumerable with lights and lamps. The splendid apartment, known as Ring James's room onas moss dazzling boot the myriads of wax tapes, that contributed to brighten the brilliancy of the colours used in the exquisite embellishments of that noble rearm. It was the admiration of all the visitors of the bail. The ceiling of the gallery, which has not its equal in this country, was also an object of admiration, and from the judicious management evinced in the illumination of that apartment, all its beauties were dia. played to all possible advantage. Messrs. Perry and Co. were entrusted with the entire direction of the department, and the high reputation of that firm was fully sustained. Jullien and Kcenig's band was engaged, andan effi6entampe. of twenty artiste* were accommodated towards the west eat of the gallery, which, on this occasion, was converted int" a ball-room. To those acquainted with the mansion, if asst be well known that no other apartment in the house affords rester facilities for the enjoyment of the dance. The visitors invited to the ball-room had been in constant arrival linos half-past nine o'cloek, long before the Qn esa tie dinner table, and by half-past ten, when her sad the Prince Consort entered the gallery, a num ber of the company had assembled. The Quota NA his • Royal Highness Prue* Albert were unsuited ban King James's room by the noble host, to the rearm in the centre of the gallery, where a state chair was pleeed, formerly belonging to Queen Anne sumptuously covered by a silver tissue, the frame work being richly gilt. The quadrille band, as the Queen and Royal party entered, announced the approach of her Majesty by performing the national anthem, and while the music was proceeding, the Queen took her seat. A large portion of the company con gregated at the ball peAsed before the state chair, and respect fully paid homage to their Sovereign. After a brief interval the ball was opened by • quadrille. Her Majesty honoured the Marquis of Salisbury by her hand, and Prince Albert danced with Lady Blanche Balfour. The Queen subse quently danced with the Marquis of Exeter and the Earl Spencer. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, in the same quadrilles, danced with Lady Charles Wellesley and Lady Beauvale. At half-past twelve, her Majesty and Prince. Albert de scended to the Gnat Hall, where supper awaited the royal party. It was prepared on a circular table. occupying a . vacant space occasioned by the three extended tables, sup plied with the rarest delicaciee for the general visitors. The THE EXPRESS, MONDAY _ royal table was select, es it was only provided for seven per sons. , In the absence of the Queen, dancing was deferred, as thevompany either repaired to the Great Hall, to partake of supper, or to the Winter Dining Room, in which was a long table, provided with the lighter description of refresh ments, Her Majesty and her fin al Consort r e tired from the supper table precisely at one o'clock, and forthwith de parted to the privacy of their apartments. The majority of the visitors returned to the r i le where dancing was re sumed with increased spirit, but at a quarter to two the ball was brought to a conclusion by a country dance. Thus the festivity of the night closed, and we need not say that no person - honoured by a visit to the gay scene departed without a high opinion of the princely hospitality of the noble marquis. All the arrangements were faultless, both within the ; mansion and without. The regularity observed by the ear riages was mainly owing to the proper course adopted by , Inspector Otway, and the able body of police under his direction, who had been on duty at the house during the Queen's sojourn. This morning everything was significant of the approach ing departure of the Queen. At the early hour of 6 o'clock, the Duke of Rutland left for Cheveley Park, Cambridgeshire, to receive a shooting party. After breakfast this morning his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Marquis of Salisbury , the Earl spencer, Lord Charles Wellesley, Mr. James Balfour and Viscount Ingestre went out shooting in the plantations in the northern park. Saddle-horses were in readiness to take the party to that remote district of the domain. The Prince • and party were absent until one o'clock, and the four guns succeeded in killing above 300 head of game. The Prince was, as usual, fortunate, the Marquis of Salisbury keeping his Royal Highness's return. The Earl Spencer killed 51 heed. Her Majesty, in the absence of the Prince, was engaged some time in the forenoon in the inspection of the vali.able collection of historical documents in the library, ranging over a period of more than sixty years—namely from 1569 to 1612, a most interesting period in our national prosperity. The librarian, among other rare manuscript documents, had the honour to show the Queen a draft of the forty-two articles of Edward VI., with the superscription of that pious monarch; the first council-book of Queen Mary; Cardinal Wolsey'sinstructions to the Ambassador sent to the Pope by Henry VIII., with that eminent churchman's autograph; the original draft of the proclamation of Secretary Cecil, used at the amnion of James I.; and a very amusing Pedigree of Queen Elizabeth, emblazoned (date 1569), by which the ancestry of that sovereign is exhibited as traced to Adam. The Queen expressed herself much gratified at the inspection of these original records, particularly by those above alluded to. It was expected that her Majesty would have gone over the library on Friday, but her time was so much occupied that her Majesty was obliged to defer her visit till this morning. Shortly after the return of the Prince Consort and party front their shooting excursion, luncheon was announced in the winter dining-room. It bad been appointed, the noble marquis having con. suited the pleasure of the Queen and Prince, that just pre vious to leaving, her Majesty and his Royal Highness wouil li plant two oak saplings, to perpetuate the royal visit. At -past two the Queen and Prince Consort, accompanied by e Marquis of Salisbury and the guests at haulms', descended from the east wing to the Hower gardens facing that part of the mansion. The Queen first performed the n ceremony, assisted by the noble Marquis, and his Royal Htghness then proceeded to plant his young tree at a abort distance from that recently placed by her M+Oesty. 1 Her Majesty and his Royal Illhaess Prince Albert front thence repaired to the cloisters, and after taking an affec tionate leave of Lady Mildred Hope and Lady Blanche Bal four, were conducted to the royal carriage in waiting at the south porch. The wort of the South Harts Yeemeary was drawn up in tho court-yard, and when her Msjesty had been assisted to her carriage by the noble host, the military formed on sash side. At twenty minutes to &breathe Queen and Prince departed, the band of the Herti militia striking up " God save the Queen," in the cloisters. The Marquis of Salisburv, on borsebaCk. preceded the Queen's carriage, and escorted her Majesty as far as St. Albano. Copt- Paris's troop escorted her Majesty se far la St. Albans, when they were relieved by the troop under the command of Captain Gausses. On reaching Watford, they were succeeded by ' Captain Halsey, M.P., and his troop, by whom the royal cortege was escorted to Uxbridge. V 1 understand that before her Majesty left Hatfield House, Lady Mildred Hope Ind Lady Blanche Balfoar received from the Queen's hand as a sosseertir a valuable pair of bracelets as a token of her regard. In closing our notice of the gay festivity during the last three days at Hatfield House, on the occasion of the Queen's viat, we must bear testimony to the laudable, and further to say successful, exertions of the townspeople to render a suit able display of loyalty. Not only were the hoaxes and tri umphal arches illuminated by coloured lamps on Thursd ay night, but also on Friday, and the latter day might he eons dered • holiday with all but the tavern-keepers, who had a fair share of business from the thousands of strangers col , lected from all parts, particularly Hertford.

The 43rd of Geo. 111., cap. 80, wLleh proddsi Me the better payment of incumbents within the City of Laudon, gave no power of distress to the Waister in reopee4uf emeosents of this kind, but only to the pubes who holt the rates, and if no rate was made the minister would have no means of ob taining payment. He hoped if the bsnkter retained the name that he would grant a case for appeid. The barrister, cm referring to the act, observed that the rate appeared to be, levied not on the person, but on the houses, buildings, and_ hereditaments within the parish. As the minister would thus derive his stipend from the hereditament° of the parish it could not be deemed a personalty ; and he perceived that' the Ilth section of the act gave power to the Lord Mayor, or any other magistrate of the City, to grant a warrant of distress in case of don-payMent of the rate,—not only against the goods of the party liable, but also against those of all the occupier; of the premises assessed: Ibis, therefore, was un doubtedly a charge upon the land. He saw no ground for a case. At a later period of the day Mr. James obtained leave * renew his application for an appeal ease on Monday.— Kr, G. Hudson, M.P., who claimed for a share in a freehold house in Angel-place, Allhallows, was objected to by the , liberals; but, on the prodiction of a written declaration ' from the hon..memher, showing *lee sad possession, the vote was allowed. In several instances it was complained that qualified voters were disfranchised, or put to great ex pense and inconvenience In attending to defend their votes, in consequence of the overseers having objected on no other grounds than change of residence. It was sunested that the only effectual cure for this extra:oilleird proceeding was, in all eases where such objections were made, either to disallow the overseers' expenses, or punish them by line. The barrister, who appeared to concur in this suggestion, observed, that the overseers should only object where they bad reasonable ground far supposing that there was no sufficient qualifica tion. The remaining perishes of the City of London will be taken to -day, at the Vice-Chancellor's Court, Lincoln's inn.

XT. BOOMS. jun., appeared at the bar to answer the charge, and stated that his father, the head of the firm, was in Sw it:azimut, and that the duration of his absence was no certain.—Mr. Bramwell, the barrister, attended for the defendants.—Mr. Rose attended, with his solicitor, to proee cute.—Mr. Bramwell, when the memorial was read, said that in order to put an end to the business and to save the time Of the Court, he was ready, upon the Part of the defen• 'G, OCTO]3ER 26, 1846. - dents, to let Mr. Rose examine the books, and to give him all the information he required ; those books, and that infor- Endo' haring been withheld only because the applintion had been made through an attorney in the fint instance.— Mr. Rose's solicitor said that both he and his client ha l ap plied for the books and the information, both personally and by letter, but they received no satisfaction, and to the last letter not even an answer was returned. Alderman COPELAND said Mr. Bramwdl's proposition came too late. The Aldermen sat in that court to see justice done. The complainant had applied for what the blnd of' Mr. Rochas, senior, showed he was entitled to. The Court must proceed with the in • tion.—Mr. Rose was then sworn, and examined by the er: He stated in detail what the memorial contained in substance, and stated that he employed both Mr. Roches, sen., and Mr. Roches, jun., in the purchase of the shares, and he paid for them on the presumption that the purehaw was a bond fide one. The REColtDEE,perceiving that Mr. Roches, jun., had net entered into bond as a sworn broker, observed upon that fact, and said that th e ti c k e t s were s i gne d Roches and Son, of which he desired an explanatien.—Mr. Bramwell said it would be sbeurd to attempt to conceal the fact that Mr. Rashes, jun., was not a sworn broker. It was decidedly wrong in that gentleman to act as a broker without being one ; but he had acted in ignorance, and, therefore, as far ' as that was concerned, he was at the mercy of the Court. That circumstance, however, had nothing to do with the subject of the compiaint, which was ready to be rectified by the exhibitlen of the books.—A long erns -examination of Mr. Rose was then commenced by Mr. Bramwell upon the peculiar transactions that had taken place. Lieutenant. Colonel Bateman stated that he accompanied Mr. Rose to the office of Roches and Son, and gave a detail of the conversation which took place on the subject of the purchase of the shares, and refusal to give the necessary in formation, or to show the books containing accounts of the dealings. Ultimately the court came to the following duel sion: That the City solicitor be instructed to put Mr. Boehm senior% bond in suit kr permitting his •CC to act as limber without having him admitted, and for refusing to give the information which he wee :tsworn te aster Live th b e y bead, and tiameordanmve to th e witi sh ares a the du buf g: the question of air. Roans senior's suspension or dismissal from the oMee of a broker be po s tponed until that defendant Mould have an opportunity to appear before the court. And, also, that the city sen ator be instructed to proceed modrist Mr. Bos.km jun. for having acted as a broker without having been admitted. . The case, as "night be expected, exalted a greet deal of in termit and curiosity. THE GREAT BRITAIN.—It is stated that Mr. Mack intosh, the eentractor and army accoutrement maker, has undertaken to float and bring off the Greet Britain from her position in Dundrum bay. His plan and offers were accepted, in preference to tticee of several ingenious competitors by the committee of the proprietary of that ill fated vessel. SUPPOSED LOSS OF A STEAMER.—For several days •feeling of the deepest anxiety has prevailed amongst persons interested in the Rotterdam trade, relative to the Netherland Steam Navigation Compary's steamer, the Loch Ryan, Captain Larkins, trading between London, Rotterdam, and Hamburgh, which there is every reason to believe foundered during the late tremendous gale. The unfortunate steamer, we are informed, was a vessel of nearly 200 tom burthcn, and has been, for the last twelve months, engaged in con veying goods and cotton from the various Dutch ports to England. She sailed from Ilamlandsluis, on the north side of the river Maas, fifty miles from Rotterdam, on the even ing of the 7th instant, having on board between 80 and 100 head of cattle, with several Dutch drovers and graziers, who with the crew were supposed to amount to twenty persons. It should be stated it was her second voyage from Messina sluis, but the commander had a perfect knowledge of the west, having made repeated trips to Heligoland and other ports to the northward of the coast At the time of her , steaming out of the river Maas, the weather was stormy with a tremendous head-wind and heavy sea, which towards mid night increased to such an extent as to drive the vessel back. The master TM into Helvoetsluis for shelter, and there re mained till the 9th, when she again put to lea under a belief ' that the storm had subsiied. It was otherwise, and proved that severest weather known for years off that coast. Not having been heard of since. the general belief is that the un fortunate steamer foundered in the course of the succeeding night, and that all on board perished. The General Steam Navigation Company's steamer Rainbow, and others of the company's steamers, have arrived from Rotterdam, and ea the passage home passed a large quantity of dead SoiWeg ca in the track the ill-fated steamer was seen e a =„ l when Oe sailed from Helvoetaluis. She is also now a fart. night over-due.

He dropped the parcel, and in attempting to recover it he dipped, and fell under the elf wheel, which passed over his right leg, crushing the lower part of the limb quite flat. He was extricated as soon as poosible by the foot passengers, and carried to a surgeon's ; but hit injuries were of such a maim, that it was necessary to carry him on • police-stretcher to the accident-ward of St. Thomas's Hospital, where the medical officers found they must resort to amputation, as the leg was so much crushed.

It was secured as moat as posaible by Jgr.

The cause of it appears to be that she had some dispute with her husband, and, in a moment of passion, flew at the window, and smashed to pieces eight or ten squares of glass. The flow of -blood front the numerous gashes, which had separated many of the smaller veins, was described as being dreadful. At any rate, the pain she must be snaring will teach her for the future of some less danger ous mode of revenge. At present no dangerous symptoms have presented themselves. INQUESTB.-MELANCHOLT SUICIDE THROUGH SE- Docetosr.—Late on Friday night, Mr. \V. Payne, the City coroner, held an inquest at the Blue Pig, St. Mary Axe on the body of Mary Greene, an interesting female, aged 16 years, who pot a period to her existence by hanging her self on Friday morning, under the following melancholy circumstances:—Eliza Chitty, nursemaid in the service of Mr. Wilkinson, of No. 11, Jeffries-square, dosed— Deceased was my fellow *errant. She had lived in the family about six months. Saw her last alive at nine o'clock on Friday morning. She got up at half-past seven, and went about her usual work. Missed her shortly after nine o'clock, and upon going into the store room saw deceased suspended from the water-pipe. There was a ladder near. She had evidently got upon the ladder, and tied the rope by which she was suspended to the pipe, and afterwards thrown the ladder down. Witness immediately gave an alarm, and a man came in and nit deceased down. A sur geon was sent for, but she was quite deed. Can't say who ! her sweetheart was. Knew she had one, as she had told witness she was very fond of him, and that she could not exist without him.—Mr. T. Brown, surgeon, St. Mary ! Axe, deposed to being called on Friday morning to are de ceased. Tried the natal remedies to restore animation, but she was quite dead. In reply to a question from the coro ner, Mr. Brown said deceased had been recently seduced.— City policeman Tibbins, 645, said he was on duty in St. Mary Axe on Friday afternoon, when a person at Mr. Medona's printing-office asked him if it was true that a young woman of Mr. Wilkinson's had hung herself. Witness replied in the affirmative. The person then said, " My reason for asking you is because one of our men has been boasting that he took her out on Tuesday last, and seduced her." Witness had made in quiry, and found that deceased was out on Tuesday ' with a man of the name of Bowen, who is a compo sitor.—Catherine Knight, St. Mary Axe, knew deceased. Saw her last alive on Thursday night, when she came to witness's shop. She said she was very much distressed in mind. Witncm asked her the reason, when she said she had been keeping company with a young man, whom she said she had since found to be a married :can. That some thing had occurred which would prevent her from seeing her parents again. The young man she alluded to is Mr. Bowen, a compositor, in the service of Mr. Medona, Bt. Mary Axe.—The coroner here sent for the man Bowen. Upon his arrival, Mr. Payne said, I have sent for you that you may, if you can do so, contradict the statements that have been made. We are told that you have been in the. habit of this unfortunate young woman out lately, and that you did so on Tuesday last, and then seduced her ; and she, from fear of her disgrace, has put an untimely end to her existence.—Bowen : 1 positively deny it • juror : Have you ever seduced her ?—Bowen (smiling) : To be sure I have.—A juror: Have you any family ?—Bowen : Yes, I have three children.—A juror 'fhen you are • disgrace to society. Your object from the first, no doubt, was to seduce the unfortunate girl. She has hanged herself, and you areas much her murderer, morally, se if you hung her.—Bowen attempted to justify his conduct by saying that the girl was always running after hits.—A Juror regretted that they could not punish the man Bowen.—After a few minutes delibera tion, the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity, produced by the conduct of Bowen."—Dearn AND MILLI) or A WORIHOUBE.—By Mr. Baker, at the White Hart, Pennington-street, St. George in the East, on view of the body of Charles Green, aged 53, who died of destitu tion. Emma Green, deceased's daughter, aged 17, said that she resided with her mother at ho. 103, Pennington street, and that her father had been out of work for several months. The family was supported by witness and her mother, hot they were frequently in want of necessaries: her father did not like to apply to the pariah. On Wed nesday afternoon her father was seized with vomiting of blood. Mr. Dale, the parish surgeon, who was sent for by a neighbour, promptly saw hint. He died the following day. Mr. Overten, the summoning officer, said, that the witness and her mother worked very hard to support the family. which now consisted of eight children, four of whom were very young. On Wednesday night, when he heard of their distress, he provided them with three loaves. The previous night the board ordered four loaves and Is. 6tl. a week. Verdict—" Natural death."

Her husband was a tailor, and he obtained employ ment about two or three days a week, when he could earn about sixpence a day. They received a loaf and ls. a week from the Wbitechapel Union, and were mostly supported by the neighbours. They had a dislike to be separated from each other, on which account deceased's husband objected to go into the workhouse, and who stated that they often had only a penny with which to purchase a dinner. Verdict— " Natural death." IRELAND. EIDDLITON, Corner Con=, OCT. SO —A. committee for the relief of the poor of this electoral division met to-day, at the Court-home in this town. It was attended by the ma gistrates, ehrgy, and gentry of the district The Rev, F. Jones, rector of the parish took the chair. In the course of the proceedings, the Rev. Mr. Keane, R.C.C., took occasion ' to my, that such was the distress of the people that he, as a clergyman, would not hold himself responsible for any vio lence that might be perpetrated by the parishioners.

The people assembled to prevent this exportation, and they were treated to a specimen of British valour, and a charge of British cavalry. What does this prove? Why, that the pounds. shillings, and pence of the corn factors of Britain weigh heavier in the legislative balance of England than the interests and lives of ' Ireland's millions. England must slacken her grasp. The consummation of her tyrannous rale is at hand ; every sect of politicians are pretty well convinced that the government of Ireland must henceforth be in the hands of dm Irish.

The front towards Mosley -street and Portland street will be 180 feet in length, decorated by central pro jecting porticos r,f four columns only, terminating with frieze cornice and pediments. When the contemplated improve meets of the surrounding streets are carried into effect, the buildings in Parker-street and Bath•street removed, and the whole enclosed with ornamental open railing, there will be an ample free space around it affording eligible points from which the building mar be seen to advintage, and when com pleted according to the present design, the Manchester Royal Infirmary will Hot be surpassed by any similar institution in the kingdom for external appearance en for iuterual con venience. HEALTH AND IMPUOYEMENT OF TOWNF.—A committee, by direction of the town council of Wigan, recently made an inspection, and presented 'report on the state of the borough, with a view to all application to parliament kir a local tra provemeot act. In this report, the astounding fact is re corded, that out of 18,000 yards of public streets, there are only 3,000 yards drained ; and it is feared that the sewerage of a considerable portion of this ain an inefficient and im perfect condition. Typhus fever is said to be vary prevalent in the borough, and on the increase - which is net at all enr priaing, now we know the state of the drainage of the place. In spite of all this, it was determined at th• council meeting on Monday, that the contemplated application for the local act should be abandoned, principally on the ground of tie heavy expense attending it ! A CHIMNEY has lately been erected by a chemist at Wigan, which is 420 feet high, and contains 3,000.00 bricks. POST-OFFICE. REFORM IS MUCH NEEDED in this bounty.

IAIL6I32WIL. THE APPIIENTICE BOY WHO ATTEMPTED TO POISON the family of his master, Mr. Bramah, a tailor, of Wakefield, has been examined by the magistrates of the town. No ad ditional particulars were elicited, with the exception that, on being confined in the lock-up, Adamson, in answer to a question of a young man, replied, I did it because I did not like My trade, and I wanted to be released from it." The prisoner was committed to York Castle to take his trial at the ensuing assizes. The "GRAND SOIREE" of the LEEDS MECHANICS' INSTI TUTE took pluoe on Friday in the Music-hall. and realised all the expectations previously entertained of it. Fifty ladies presided at the testable, and in the saloon were seated about 600, in the orchestra 110 ladies and gentlemen. It was im possible to obtain sufficient accommodation at the tables for all who wished to be present ; but the gallery was opened for spectators, 200 of whom filled it. The entire area within reach of the speakers' voices was crowded. The reception of the noble chairman, Earl Fittwilliam. was quite enthusiastic ; and the distinguished self-taught scholar of America, Elihu Burritt, excited the liveliest interest on his being recognised. Many friends of education from a dkance, including a large body of Secretaries of Mechanics' Institutes, were also present.—After tea, Earl Fitzwilliatn opened the proceedings by a speech. E. Baines, jun., Esq., President, then made a statement of the condition and prospects of the Institute; after which the meeting was addressed by W. Beckett, Esq., M.P., Rev. Dr. Scoresby, W.

CHESHIRE. TREACREROOB RODEEAT AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.— On Friday, at noon, Mr. T. M'Oill, a travelling draper, was shot in the head (supposed with a pistol) at Tabley, and then robbed of two 201. Bank of England notes, two 51. notes, 181. in gold, and from 31. to 41. in silver, and a 101. Bank of Eng land note, total 821. The deed was effected by a man named John Wright, who after robbing his victim attempted to drag him to a brook, nn doubt with the intention of drown ing him, but was prevented from effecting his purpose by some mess, who were working in an adjoining field, near to, the high road. Wright is described as a Scotch traveller, and was living at Benton Cross, with his father, about three miles from Northwich, he is a native of Warrington, about 28 years of age, 5 feet 10i inches high, sandy whiskers, light made, and has a habit of swinging his arms (very much) when walking. Wright is well known by Mr. MOM, hav ing been formerly in the same business as a Scotch traveller ; he met him near Tabley, and entered into conversation with him, and shortly stopped until Mr. M. 031 passed on, when the report of a pistol was heard, and M'Oill fell. Wright then rifled his pockets, but on some labourers coming from a field, he made off. Inquiry was made of the wouuded man, who stated where he lived, and he was taken to Manchester in a coach.
