BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. (room OUR OWN 1370111128.) BATH, Taw Ay. A great gloom has been cast over thin city to-day, awl we are ears that the painful feehog which has bass =- sited will be participated in by the oonimnnity at large, b the intelligeoce which reached here this monde& of the awfallyeuddenly death. by rockiest, of Captain Spoke, the ensinent Alricto traveller. lie attended the geographical section up to one o'clock yesterday, and in the afternoon went out shooting, when by some accident which is as yet sisexplaiasd he was shot dead by his own grin. The air 11.11W111b00 was feelingly alluded to by Sir R. Murchison, t►s president of the Geographical Association. Turning bun this painful subject to the proceedings of the mom- Ilea. we have to record that last evening a oonvetuzione was held in the Assembly-rooms, which was numerously sad fashionably attended. This morning the sections as. ambled at their appointed places of meeting. SECTION E.—GEOGRAPHY AND ETHNOLOGY. This section was presided over by Sr R. MURCHISON, who, on taking the chair, said he bud to apologies for being a few minutes behind time, but the cause was that in the oesimittee they had bees profoundly afflicted by the dread ful calamity that had befallen his friend Captain Spoke. It was impossible for him to proceed with the bookies of the day without endeavouring to elicit from them an ezpressios ef their sympathy which he was sure they must all feel for the dreadful calamity which had happened, and to offer the heartfelt condolence of all geographers and ethnologists, and all travellers to the relatives and friends of Captain Spoke. This calamity was still mom painful when be stated that hie eminent friend bad intended to be present to-day and to take pert is the discussion on African discovery. He would therefore, without further preface, move "That the goo graphers and ethoologista of the British Association having heard with profound regret of the fatal accident which has befallen Canton Seeks. and by which they have suddenly lost so eminent an associate, resolve that their most heart hit condolences be offered to bin relatives on his being thus - sot off in ass awful a manner in the fulness of his strength end vigour. and while animated by an unabated spirit of eaterpnsa" It was an accident in shooting. lo going over a wall with two or three of his friends the gun accidentally went off. and the shot went near, or through his heart, and he lived but a few moments. The motion was formally put, and of course met with as maseimons assent. Captain R. H. Burton this read a paper on the etiinology el Dahomey. Kr. J. Patherick then read a paper giving the latest news frees Hr. 8. Bober, the Central African traveller. Au interesting discissios followed, m which Dr. Bryan Dr. Kerk, and Captain Burton took part, respecting the light which bed beau thrown by these recent discoveries on the sources of the Nile. Mr. MARKHAM, the secretary, than read a paper by Mr. James Fox Wilson, on the increasing dessication of inner i Southern Africa, which he attnbuted to the cutting down of forests and the sauna' buraing of grass and herbage. A discussion followed in the oourse of which the chairman said the reasoning applied equally to this country. in Bristol for two or three weeks there had been no water sup ply for the town. The abuses of Dr. Livingstone wee also remarked upon, the chairman saying they were to have occupied the same Lease, but nothing had been heard of him. A paper waa then read by Dr. T. Hodgkinson, on the in . emseingdessication of Souther@ Africa. A paper by Mr. Jobe Crawford, F.H.S., Oa the Early • Maigratioes of Man, was also read. ' SHICTION F.—ECONOMIC SCIENCE AND STATISTICS. This section held its mooting in the smaller ball-room, Dr. Fain, presidect of the sconce, in the chair. There was a lorge attesdaacs. Mr. Edmund Macrory, secretary of the section, having mid the mimeos, which were confirmed, Dr. F tea stated that the Ent business was the reading of an important report, not of the section, but of the British Asuenation. on the uniformity of weights and moistures. The committee connoted of Lord Wrottealey, Mr. Adderley, Sir William Armstrong, the Astronomer Royal, Mr. &mord Brown, Mr. William Ewart, M.P. (who was chairman of the committee in the House of Comm..., and who conducted the measure with reference to the metric system through parliament), the Muter of the Mint, Sir John Hay, Bart., Professor Heoneery, Mr. James Heywood, Dr. Lee, Professor Levi, Professor Miller, Pro fessor Rankin, Rev. Dr. Robinson, Colonel Sykes, M.P., Mr. Tits, M.P., Professor Williamson, Mr. Purdy, and Mr. Yates. A deputation attended from the Chemical Section to express their opinion on the Report. Before the paper was reed, be would lay on the table the metre— • brans one—whieh was the proposed standard of measure. It was thought to be a very myeterious thing, but, as they would observe, it looked very much like an English yard, Ist rather better measure. (A laugh.) The Pittsipen then called on Mr. Heywood to read the report. iir. Heywood, before raidin g the report, stated that the 111101 s Wu three feet three sod one.eqghth inches long, and derived itensme from the Greek word " metros"—a wee rem The following are the recommendations of the committee : —l. That it is desirable, in the interests of science, to adopt • decimal system of weights and measures. Y. That, in furtherance of this proposal, it is desirable, from its scientific capabilities, to adopt the metric system. 3. That as the weights and measures of this country are vadually undergoiod a proems of decimalisation, it would be mere advantageous, instead of drifting be degrees into a heterogeneous variety of systems, to change at once to a molly convenient system. 4. That it be recommended to the government, in all asses in which statistical documents issued by them relate to cneetione of intematiotial interest, to give the metric equrrybiate to Eoglieh weights and Tonsures. 5. That is communications respecting weights and wea pons, presented to foreign nominee which have adopted the metric system, equivalents in the metric system be given ler the onlioary Eoglish expressions for leach, capacity, link, and weight. _ _ 6. That it ge recommended to the authors of scientific communications, in all Mel when the unease cc labour involved would not le too great, to give the metric equiva lents of the weights and measures mentioned. 7. That the influence of the British Association would be Beneficially exerted in obtaining from Paris aa authorised est of metric weights and measures, to be placed kin some public and frequented building in London. 8. That advantage will be danced from the recent publi• adios of metric table', by C. H. Dowling, C. E., in which British standard weights and measures an compared with these of the metric system. That treatises explaining the metric system, with diagrams, should be forthwith laid be. fees the public. That works on arithmetic should contain metric tables of weights and measures, with suitable exer cises fro those tables ; and that inspectors of schools should examine toodidatee for pupil-teachers in the metric system. 9. On the subject of temperature, it is recommended that the authors of reports to be presen ted to the British Awe claim relative to temperature, be requested to give the of boat or cold, according to both the Centigrade t i Fahrenheit's thermometers. 10. It is noommeaded that the scales of thermometers seentructed for seientific purposes be divided both acoordiag to the Centigradeand Fahrenheit scales ; and that be: metric sodas be divided into fractious of the metre, as well as into these of the foot and inch. IL That • committee on uniformity of weights and mei earls be re-appointed. The Presideet observed that they had among than one of the greatest writers au practical Ittithmstie in the world, the Lord Bishop of Natal. (Loud cheery.) He hoped Dr. Ooleoso would favour them with • few words on this sub ject. (Cheery.) The Bishop of Natal, who was received with loud cheers, mid— I shall detain the section with very few words, but perhaps before proceeding to speak of the subject more im mediately before us I should do will to tit up the blank which Captain Maury has left io the information which be has just given you. You, in common with all the members of the amocistioe, will I am sure le deeply grieved to know that the lamentable event to which Captain Maury re ferred is the untimely death of • distinguished member of our body, and one of our most illustrious English travellers —who was present with us I believe and taking part in our proceedings yesterday, and certainly meant to have beau present to-day—Captain Spike. (Much sensatioo.) It would seem that while stpeting with some friends, in climbing • hedge his gun was accidentally discharged, and its a hole mote° ts were poured into his brew. His death was almost iosmotaneous, but his foes has left • blank which we must all psatly deplore, and which must cast a cloud over the redo( the proceedisp of this otherwise most happy and escosseful meeting of the British Associatioe. (Loud cheers.) Having been detained in the geographical section with this and other matters connected with Africa, I ass unable to be present when the report of the ecomnitttee was reed in this room. But I wee present at Berlin last year wheu the subject was thoroughly considered, soil where it is well known the greatest unanimity of feeling prevailed in regard to it ; and I have glanced over the re port sufficiently to see that, as a whole, I should heartily assent to it I believe that the time is some when a step may be taken, and ought to be takes, decisively. to promote the introduction of the metrical system into general use mom our people. (Cheers.) Mr. );rant has described, very humorously, the difficulties encountered by young arithmeticians. I hope that things have changed a little for the better in this respect Mace Mr. Ewart was. boy. (Cheers and • laugh.) I remem ber wall my own schoolboy days—(a laugh)—end the diffi culties which I found in mastering the details of Bonny - coatis and the other dreary books with which boys were piqued is those days. (A laugh.) My arithmetical lessons vows a perpetual misery, sad if 1 was ever punished it was always °alai° to be for my sums. I could not understand the rules which the books laid down, and I suffered the pimel oassequeaces of such inability. (A laugh. Well, the semembrance of past misery compelled me when I besets a man, and was engaged myself to teaching boys at Harrow, to endeavour to relieve the panes of others—(ahem)—sad I trust that my 'aorta with those of other writers who have lehoured in the earns field have not been altogether in vain. farm I &Ashbaugh mittiersare immewhat simplified in these days they would bevastly more simplified if the metri cal system were folly adopted among as. With respect to THE EXPRESS, • SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, MM. arl.rticg French names I do not think that that is of much waseqemme, or this weber. any right to complain of boos obliged kr adopt them to moms extent, in cooseq winos of their Mein been already introdused so extensively among almost 41 the man:mot 2.urope. It is mortifying, no doubt, tom Englishman thig we shoold beplaced inthie prodicameet, and he obliged to follow indeed of leading. But whose halt is that We me ammg the bat of civilised nations to re form our system, or rather oar want of system, in this re spect. and we most submit to the consequences. If we had led the van in this improvement, we might have commended our names to others. As it is most probably them looser MOMS of decimetre, decametre, and hectometre will be cat dnwm to some shorter forms by practical Englishmen. k Cheers and a laugh.) But I imagine we most acoept the metre, though we may make it E m ilia& if we like by drop ping the accent and spelling it differently. (Cheers.) Espe cially, however, I wish to express my hearty concur rence with the proposition which has just been made, that the influence of the association should be used with the government to induce them to requiem that in all schools waisted by the state the metrical e)stem shall be regularly . taught. It is possible that practical difficulties may exist in respect of such • pro posal being carried oat at ace which may sot occur to me at the moment. At preseet I see no such difficulty, except the want of elementary books adapted to the new system ; and these would of course be prepared when the impetus is given by making such teaching compulsory in schools receiv ing state support. This would not be making the adoption of the metrical system compulsory in the nation at large, but practically it would ensure the adoption of it very gene rally, and would suable us to get rid entirely of the old cumbrous system in the next generation. I beg, therefore, very cordially to support the resolution which has been reed to the meeting. (Loud cheers.) The discussion was continued by Mr. G. Brown, Sir B. Brodie, Mr. Fellow's, Professor Hennessy. M. Ann; and Sir Wm. Armstrong, who stated that be had found the adoption of the metric system an absolute net:amity in his establishment, in order to enable them to work up to the precision and nicety required by the present times. The report of the committee was adopted unanimously. Mr. fliscebridge moved that the section recommend its committee to suggest to the Committee of the Council on Education the Importance of requiring that the metric system be taught in the schools reomvuig public rank. Mr. Tice, M.P., said that an important practical sugges tion had been made by the chairman, and he thought it was likely to be the means of introducing the thin edge of the wedge, for the introduction of this change or soy other in Englend could only be a matter of progress. He thought it important that government should adopt the metric system in levying the duties on goods imported from France and other countries which used that system. As an archi tect he had 20 years ago had • great deal to do in France, and he found the adoption of the metric system of the greatest use in facilitating his operations both in matters of minute measurement and account. Sir B. Brodie rsoommeoded the adoption of the system in all national observatories and scientific institutions. Colonel Sykes supported the motion. Dr. Lee mid be wen an old advocate for the adoption of the decimal system, but be preferred the old English yard to the metro. _ _ The motion was adopted. Professor Levi said a few words in reference to the spirit of unanimity which he was glad to observe had prevailed throughout the discuaaioo. The metric system, it ought to be known, was not • French but • cosmopolitan system. (Hear, boar.) The President moved a vote of thanks to Mr. William Ewart, M.P., who as chairman of the committee in the House of Commons and author of the measure which had passed the legisl►ture, had done so much to promote the success of the peat cause they all had at heart. It we most creditable to the committee of the House of Coro. mons, of which his friend Colonel Sykes sru also • member, that disregarding all little objections, and even difficulties which were real and which most arise in pansies from an old to a new system, they had come unanimously to the re solution that such a bill should bourne the law of the land. The motion was carried by acclamation. Mr. E wart haring acknowledged the compliment, Colonel Tomas read a paper on the system of land Waster in Australia as applicable to Ireland. The section then adjourned till to-morrow. To-morrow (Saturday) there will be an excursion to the Druidical remains at Stanton Drew and the collieries at Iladstock. to one o'clock, having reinforced skirmishers (with two cosnianies of the 68th), end cautioned the men to rewires their tire (which they did la the most steady manner), the advance was sounded, sad the men moved as if on pa rade. To the dash, determination, and steadiness with which the attack was made the success which followed is dua. From the fact that the attack was made in infantry order, sod from the Maoris having for the charge and made a dasperete head to hand resis tance, more opportunity was offered of showing indivi dual gallantry than might occur is much more extensive operations ; but the attack was so simultaneous, and all did their duty so well, it is difficult to make selectscae. I beg, however, to bring the following to the favourable mice of the Lieutenant-General Commanding— Major Synge, 43rd Light Infantry, commanding the line of skirmishers, and who had hie horse shot ander him in two eV:whoa ekes to the tine pits.

Low water on that day was half-pest three o'clock. I was beck in camp about half-past two o'clock, and artillery, mooted defence force, and reinforcements of infantry wen following me. 1, however, found that every nemesary arrangement had been made by Lieut.- Colooa Harrington (Lt Waikato Militia). who was in com mand of the map during my absence. I beg to bring to the mei°, of the lieut.-genera oommodieg the readiness with which Captain Phillimors, her Ms 'nay s ship Esk, senior naval officer at this station, and or Swans, be, Majesty's ship Harrier, respoecied to my request which I sent immediately ois finding the Mamie', that they would land all their available force for the protection of the camp. I have sines ascertained that the report of the lastly= coming down to attack Te Pipe was true, but that the result of the affair at Te Bangs disarranged then plans. For Dearly an hour previous to the assault I had seep Maori minforcemeata corning down from the woods, yelling and firing their guns, and when the advance was sounded, they were sot room than 500 cards from the rift pits I beg further to add that, while in command hers, I have only endeavoured to carry out the instructions given me by the lieuteoantgeneral commanding, and, if I have had any BYCONS, it in to the foresight of those instructions sad to the good discipline and courage of the troops ands my com mand it is to be attributed,.

THE DIM DAY. _ _ jTleis day is by many, as garded as ladies, re the mod interesting of the needing, and is, amongst the habitue , * of the turf, considered as next in importance to the Leger day. That consideration which racing moo as well as all others deny, are so ready to ascribe to the fair sex, combined with the fact that the attendance of the ladies is so much larger than os any of the previous days of the meeting, have caused " The Cup " day to be regarded as the " lediee' day " as much as the Oaks day at f ; ;PIOni. The morning broke very wet and miserable, and wise acres" prognosticated another Leger day as regarded the wet, and at 11 siolock it looked as if their ideas would be verified to the letter. But they were all out," like =ay other " prophets," for nothing could be finer than the weather was when the time arrived for the first race, and to this fact may be partly attributed the very large attendance, which was coniuderably above the avenge of many years past for the Cup Day. The number of carriages wee not very great, but the brilliant attire of the ladies rendered the eight a very attractive one. The scratch *of such celebrities as Blair Athol, Cellar Ou. and East Lenceshire, deprived the Cup of a deal of interest, but there was some betting both at the rooms aid in the ring, the peincipal support bong awarded to General Peel, Hippolyta, Miner, and Adveeturer the first two being very firm. Caller Ou was "coloured" on the card, although scratched on Wednesday night. The Don Stakes, the first race of the day, was appointed at 1230, and three runners, all that were coloured, went to the post. There was some very spirited betting, and a large amount of money was invested, King George and the Beaver being alternately favourites, the latter finally having a slight call, and after a fine race he just " landed " by a head. The Town Plate produced a field of 15, Sir Joseph Hawley's Washington being a grad favourite at the short price of 2 to 1, The Beadle sad Lytham being also backed freely at 6 and 7to 1 respectively. After a very tedious delay of tome-quarters of an hour. the lot were sent on their journey, the start being an indifferent one, but the hackers of the favourite @bowed their go od j udgment, as Washington woe very doily by ale . For the Dos seder Stakes ten faced the starter, " • beautifuly Ely being supported for a mint of mosey at 6 to .1 on him, and he literally woe how he liked, cantering in eight lengths in front of Coast Guard. The victory of three favourites is succession put the backers in wide' spirits. The Scurry Stakes were won by Lord Westmoreland's Dosfoot, who was favourite at 6 to 5 on him, the only one to make a race with him being Sir Joseph's St. Alexia. The Doncaster Cop, the great feature of the day's racing, an equisite speci men of art manufacture, repwsotang an equestrian group, " Hawking M the time of the Cavaliers," brought out but four starters—Oeseral Peel, Rapid Rhone, Hippolyta. end Miner. The race was run at a very slow pace. The Geer ral was in the rear until fairly getting into the straight, when he came out, and won, hands down, by a head. Hippolyta woad. Rapid Rhone was started to serve his stable companion, General Peel. Up to the start the Ge- Demi was the favourite, as will be seen by the betting, Hip. polite and The Miner also receiving material support. The result of the nice proved the correctness of public running ; and that his friends were justified in backing General Pe et for the Leger. The return of the horse to the enclosure was the signal for tremendous cheering, which was joined in by everyone, showing the great esteem in which Lord I Glasgow, the noble owner of Gamed Peel, is held by all for the sportsman-like manner in which be always runs his homes, having the interest of the public as much at heart as his own. The Nursery Plate produced the largest field of the day-19—Provisos. being made the favourite at 5 to 2 • the winner, Mr. Merry's colt by Oulaton— Vest, was als o backed for a deal of money at 10 to 1. Mr. John Osboree's filly Wild Poppy was the only one who toads any race with Mr. Merry's colt, after reaching the enclosure, the others being beaten from that point. A good finish maned, the popular yellow end black cap pa sing the post first by half a length. Th e following are of the day's running : Tffi DON &Tana of 50 eon. each, h ft, for 3-yr-olds ; colts.

The Secretary of State for War has received a despatch. with its each:mires, from Llsoteemint-Geosral Sir DUOOIII2 Camaro°, K.C.B.,coananding bar Majesty's farces in New Zealand, of wtich the following are copies : Headquarters, Mick . lead, JUly 7, 1864. My Lord,-1 informed your lordship in my lest despatch that I had made arrangements for removing the smogs not required for the deteoc. of Tauranga to Auckland. and ao cordieglv, on the 9th ultimo, her Majesty's ship Esk and the steamer Alexandra proceeded to Tamengs for that pur pose. Before their arrival, however, intelligence had been received at Tams. es' that the rebel, were mumbling is ' foros in that neighbourhood with the avowed intention of attacking our position, whereupon Colonel Greer, 68th 'Regiment, whom I had left in command, suspended the 'embarkation of the troops, end, in my absence on the Waikato frontier, reported the Mate of affairs to the Governor of New Zealand, who immediately reinforced him with 280 Waikato militia. After the arrival of this rein forcement, the force at Colonel Greer's disimal amounted to 1,500 men. The district occupied by us at Taanega is a peninsula about three and a half mile" bog, oossedd with the main land by a very Barrow oeck, on width wee situated the Gate Pah, abandoned by the rebels os the 30th April, and wavered by sty order into • strong re doubt. • This work and anothm small redoubt, commanding the only ford by which the rebels could cross over from the main land to the peninsula, rendered our position so secure that, whew Colonel Greer's report reached me, I felt sore the rebels would not venture to attack it. Consider ing it, however, not unlikely that they might attempt to construct a pad somewhere in the vicinity of our position, I instructed Colonel Greer to watch their movemeata closely . to patrol frequently , and if they made the attempt, to attack them before they had time to establish them- selves. In patrolling the country beyond the Gate Pah, on 21st Jana Colonel Greer came suddenly upon • large body of natives who had just began toentrench themselves. He at once attacked them and defeated them with peat leg. Two reports from Colonel Greer, containing the details of the action fought on that occasion, are herewith enclosed. The conduct of all the officers and men engaged wee ad mirable, and I beg to draw your lordship's 'Wallas to the brilliant charge with the bayonet made by the tlird and 68th Light Infantry, and to the great bravery disOsyed by those two distingu ish ed regiments in the hand to hand Night with the rebels at the rifle-pits. I cannot praise too highly the teal and energy with which Colonel Greer carried out his instructions, sod his able conduct, not only on the day of the engagement, but during the whole period be has been in command at Tauranga. I beg to recommend to your favourable notice his meritorious services, as well as those of all the officers and men mentioned by him as having par tieularly distinguished themselves in the action.-1 have, D. A. Camenou. Lientemat.Gemiral, The Right Hon. the Secretary of State for War. Camp, Ts Papa, Midrange, Juno 21,1864. Sir.—l bays the honour to report, for the informatics of the lieutenant-general commanding, that 1 marched out of camp with • force, as per =erste,' this morning at eight a.m. 1 found • large force of Maoriee (about 600) entrenching themselves about four mitre beyond Pukokmahina ; they bad made a single hoe of rifle pits of the usual form across the road, in • po.ition exactly similar to PukekmahMa ; the commencement of a (mendable pah having driven in some skirmishers they bad thrown out, I extended the 43rd and a portion of the 68th in their front and on their flanks as far as practicable, and kept op asharp lire for about two hours, while I mot back for retaforce meats, as parse:gin ;1. as soon as they were sueleMatly sear to support 1 mended the advance, whey the 43rd, 68th, arid Ist Waikato Militia charged and carried the ride pits in the most dashieg manner. under • tremendous tire, but which was for the most part too high. For a few minutes the tlaones fonrht desperately, and then were utterly routed. GA were killed in the rifle pita. The position was very fa vourable for their retreat, otherwise few could have escaped. The defence force pursued them several miles, but could not get well at them, owing to the deep ravines with which the country is everywhere intersected. The infantry pursoed as long as they could keep the Maoris is sight ; all did their duty galliintly. The 43rd were under the cons , Daudet Major Synge ( whose horse was shot), the 68th order Major Shuttleveorth, the Ist Waikato Militia under Captain Moore, and they each led their men well. It to impossible for me, in this hurried report, to do justice ; I will, therefore, hays the Pleasure is • supple mental report to bring those to your notice who more para. cularly distinguished themselves. I marched the men back to camp this evening. Oise hundred and seven Maori's were found and carried up to the rifle Pita, and we have brought in LI wounded, all severely, and 10 prisoners. Many more must have been killed in the ravines, whom we did not fled. I enclose a return, which snows that • large number of chiefs have been killed, including Ranieri. Iye happy to say our casualties hare been comparatively small. I enclose • return of the killed sad wounded. I must net conclude without temarki•g on the gallant staid made by the Mao ries at their ride pit ; they staid the charge without flinching, sod did not retire until forced out at the point of the bayonet. The name of t h e panties which the therms occupied Is `•Te Range." I have thought this of sufficient importance to re quest Captain Militating to take my report up in the link. —1 have, kc.. H. H.

The Stamford Mercury observes that the confta ratio. of Wednesday last was sot the first time that the udiabitante of Chatters bad been similarly afflicted, as seer rah years ago ou Shrove Tuesday • great calamity, though not so disastrous in its effects, happened. Happily no human live. have been lost, although for several bouts • child was miring, but it wan decorated uninjured. Small poz,which had been iotroduoed into the town by • tramp, was raging, end a man who was dangerously ill with it was obliged to be removed. Besides the other homes we have enumerated, there were two bekebooriee with shore entirely destroyed, 48,000 bricks of turf, laid in stove for the winter, and 20 tons of coals. The number of stacks destroyed is not known, but without exaggeration it may be said to be over 20. The poist at ebich the firs broke out is about 250 yards from the river, and as the flame ran almost parallel with it, it was nearly useless as regards obtaining water by means et the engines. The insurance agents visited the somas, and by what was gathered from them it appeared that the San, Royal Es change, Manchester, and Norwich Union will be the chief losers. The Son, it was stated, is liable to the extent of 2,0001. As soon as the fire-brigades could get to the pumps the unities were set to work, bat almost as quickly as they did so the flames surrounded them, and the men were obliged to leave the spot. Inspector Mitchell was, how ever, indefatigable in his endeavours, and the fire was soon subdued, and was extinguished on Thursday. At a rough ealculatiou the damage may be estimated at 10,0001. About 70 cottages, most of them inhabited by the l►bouring popu lation, were destroyed. With hardly one *empties they were thatched, and in some Watanabe were modesty separated from the remainder of the burnt houses. Is rebuilding these tenemecte it is hoped that thatch will no longer be used. Reckosiog six mesas to each dwelling (► very low average), we may safely state that more than 400 persons were rendered bounties, and in some instances left with almost nothing. In order to meet the iniergeecy a public meeting cos bold is the evening (the Vicar, the Rev. M. A. Gathercole, in the chair), and a committee was appointed to obtain the mimeo of persons who were able to give accommodation to the sufferer for the night, and also one to find out who were destitute. attempt those who were forward iu offering ' assistance was Mr. T.

I am a practical engineer. I have seen the prisoner ea a resident at Devizes, and he bee also lodged at a public house in Market Lavington. On Tuesday morning I mimed my daughter. Her birthday, which will complete her six {moth year, is in December next. 1 made inquiries about the house, and found a little note in mood in which she said she had goes to Polish** a village near. I went there but mold not find her, and west on to Devizes station and tele. molted a description of my daughter up and down the line. I heard thatch. had been seen with a man, but could not imagine that be was the prisoner. Some time after I heard of her at Woodborough. I went there and learnt that my daughter and the prisoner had walked from Market Laviog toe to this place, a distance of eight or nine miles, and the prisoner was seen carrying • bu nd le of clothes. From there I hand that they took the express train to London. From what was told me by the superuiteodent of police I came to London, went to Scotland-yard, where I lodged inforina. tics, and had her (the daughter's) descriptioa printed.

He asked me if I was ready, and we were, and west to Market Laviogtoo, to Mrs. Beard there. We stayed three hours there. We were to have drives to Wood borough station, but the bores fell, and we had to walk. We got some one to may our bundle. We called at as inn, but they refused to accommodate as, and we had to go into some man's cottage, and from theme minims to Pad dingtoo. We went to No. 1, London-street. We remained there one night, sad yesterday my brother came Lod found us out. — Mr. Mansfield said there was quite sufficient evidence for him to order the prisoner to be taken to Devises, there to be brought before the justices. At the house No. 1, London-street, the inspector took from the prisoner the following lettere : " Broadway Howie, Levington,—Ever dearest Jim,-1 have just come home and hays walked fast.

Two letters were also prodeced, one written by the pri• sorer and the other by the girl, asking Mrs. House, of the Green Drape, Market Latingtoa, to send up a post-office order for 151. This letter Mrs. House placed in the hands of the young lady's brother. Prisoner when removed teemed as if mixed with a fit of ague, he shook so violently. THE CHARON AGAINST A HUSBAND OP IMPRISONING HIS WIPE. Last evening, after the business bad been dis pcsed of by the Hoe. G. C. Norton at Lambeth police court, Mr. Edward Hammond sod Sarah Allen, his servant, who bad been examined on the day before—tb• former on a charge of misdemeanour in keeping his wife, who bad brought him a fortune of 60W. a year confined for two whole years in her bedroom, to the gr eed injury of her health ; and the latter with assaultieg her mistrees— having surrendered to their recogaisrees, the further proceedings were gone into. On the case bang celled, the unfortunate lady on entering the court presented so marked an improve. meet in her health and general appearance, as to mill forth a remark not only from Mr. Norton but all who were pre , seat Mr. Edward T. E. Burley (of the Home Circuit, and not Mr. Beasley, as stated by mistake) appeared as before for the prosecution, sod Yr. Neale for the defence. Mr. Bewley, in midterm' the magistrate, said—Sir, at the sod of the examination of the unfortunate led, yesterday, who was for a considerable time coder examloatios, or or two questions arose, and a different issue had been raised oe • the part of tea husband, Kr. Hammond, that the lady was of armed mind. I beg, however, to call to the recollection of your worship the opinion you were pleased to express of her close reseonieg—the unimpaired rotatory and We lurid detail in which the lady gave a narrative of the wrap she bad suetained. It was truly surprising that a lady after being for two years secluded from society, and for months craned in one room, should bare had the strength to be able to go through so protracted an examiarios, end leo clearly to detail evaythieg that had happened. Her I easily, however, having bees brought in queries, I felt it was my duty, as the adviser of those who have instituted these procoalings, to request that they would allow a medical gentleman to sr Mrs. Hammond, in order that he might professionally give evidence as to the state of body, and the physical and mental powered the lady who is here making such a very serious complaint. It appeared to me that such a charge leaving bees brought by Mr. Ham mond as regards the Mete of his wife's mind, it was our bourse duty to produce before you medical testimony. Dr. Sewell, now preseat, has bad a long interview with Mrs. Hammond, sod I will at rem ;lace him in the boa in order that you may bear his opinion of the soundness of the un fortunate lady's intellect. Dr. Charles Brodie Sewell, of 76, Guildford-street, Bea sell-square, here entered the witness box. and was sworn, and described himself sea member of the College of Sorters, • Doctor of Medicine of the University of London, and had bees in practice sirs 1841, and since that time bad been in the daily habit of attending patients. He then described the emaciated condition of Mn. Hammond. _ _ Yr. Beale►—Now, as to her mental power. Did you ma►ens with bee for • length of time! Win:lees—Yea. I oonvereed with her during the whole time of my being there. Mr. Ilseley—Witli the view of testing her marital powers ! Witnees—Yee. Mr. Norton—Will you be kind enough to give us the result! Waimea—The result was that I could detect no indication whatever of any want of mental power. Her answers were rational, coherent, and nothing indicative of loos of memory or mind presented deal,. Mr. Norton—Of what order do you consider her intel lectual faculties to he, so far as you have had an oppor. tuaity of judging! Witness—l should say the has intellect of a very high order. . . Mr. Bosley—Would such treatment u has been proved before the magistrate, confining her agaiut her will in a single room for two whole years, without admitting her to take air and uerciee, be likely to injure her health and produce her present wretched appearance ; such a state of things would injure any- Mr. Neale declined to put any questiorui in aces-uanthu tion to the witness.

ALARMING FIR& —OD Tuesday morning Mr. Cormier Hitchies held as inquest at Lincoln Hospital, on the body of Thos. Raby, 40 years of age, as Irish harvest man, who was segaged by Mr. Gambles, of Ashby. It ap peared that on Saturday morning, between 3 and 4 o'clock, the farming servant men went into the chaff-cutting house with a candle mid horn lantern to get some chaff and core to feed their hones. In connexion with and above this building the granary is situated, to which some Irish reapers slept. The servants bad taken out what they vowed, and left the medics on the chaff-box, when from some muse, either of care leanness or the wind, it fell down, and, although the men were only about a few misutes, on their reture they found the straw blazing. The alarm awoke the Irishmen, and the deceased and three more rushed down the ladder in • state of nudity, with their clothes under their arms. The demised had left a portion behind, to fetch which be re turned, but the fire increased so rapidly that he could sot pus, and before they could release him, which was dose through the root, he mu fearfully scorched. Hewes pozip_til placed in a cart and brought to the hospital, bet al quite senaible, the shock had been too great, and be ".' ;71,7 On Mocday he died. Bd.

COTTON GOODS.—KaccHbrrim, Sept. 16.—The yarn sad cloth market continues very fiat and depressed, aol without anything like a panic feeling, prices cootiuge to dachas. There is hardly business esongh doing to test the market fairly, but on Tuesday, so far as prices could be tested, millers might be found who would accept 40. (sad is some cases 6c1.) par lb. less than the tete highest prin t , for pros made from the better qualities of cotton (iocludier Bolton splodgy), sod an average of 3d. less for the ran. molter qualities. Long cloths, T cloths, and shirtioy sae 2d. to 3d. per lb. cheaper ; and on Wednesday sales were made at a decline of 41. per lb. from the highest price. During Wednesday advice, from Liverpool that cotton had given way another Id. per lb. tended still farther to depress the market, especially for yarns, as shows at Blackborn, when the stoppage of looms, which has taken place to a considerable extent and is still going on, produced as addl. time effect on 'pitmen. ladle Waggons on Wednesday had also a discouraging effect on the yarn and cloth market. At Calcutta, on the 22nd August, the prices of both cloth and yarn were lower, and nothing drug. At Bombay, on the 7.lrd Angust,9lb. ahirtings were 6d. per piece hither, and Bid T clotha,madapollains, and yarns were rather dearer; but , lb. and 811 b. shirting were at 3d. to 6d. decline per piece. Yesterday some offers were made. but at still lower price.. This day (Friday) business is quite as flat in shipping Ter as on Tuesday, and to business still lower prrrs wonli have to be taken effect. The total decline Wday from tLe higher rates is estimated to be equal on the average to 4d. to 6d. per lb. on yarn. made from Suet cotton, sod 6d. to Bd. per lb. on yarns made front long stapled cotton. About wales, burns say it is not so much a question of pane ea that buyers have made up their minds not to operate. Certainly, great as the decline ie, there is DO disposition to operate. In home bade yams the market is equally dot. There is no Iniduess, and prices continue to decline. The decline since Tuesday has been quite Id. to 2d. per lb. In cloth the decline in value has been about in the same pro. portion. aid there has bear so improvement since Toe. day, but still there has beet more inquiry or the part of buyers, who it is thought are felling their way as to what can be dose. In some buyers have bees making diem, and though thew ' offers have been at very low prices, the fact seems to bale hese accepted by the trade as a good indication. In sone cases Wainer has been effected, but it has been small no amount ; and as the declise going on from day to day no cotton still farther decreases the value of manufactured goods in stook, the operations taking place are at very low rates. It is only at very low rates that buyers OLD be at Induced to operate, and even then their purchases are limited to small quantities.
