geated also a requisition to the Ifigh-Sheriff of the county, and submitted a motion to that effect, which was adopted. The requisition was drawn out and signed by D. Cronin, Esq., the Park, and by several other gentlemen. Youonax.—There has been a disturbance in this town. On Tuesday week a meeting of tradesmen and labourers was held in Market-square, to deliberate what steps sbouldle taken in the present distress. A party of dragoons were in ireadiness ; but the proceedings terminated peaceably. No thing having been done since then which tended to give em ployment to the people, a large number of them congregated to the town at an early hour yesterday morning, upon which a meeting of the neighbouring magistrates was hastily called in the Town-hall, together with several influential gentlemen connected with the town, many of whom exhorted the peoplo and explained to them that every measure possible under the late act would be immediately resorted to, and that every exertion which the co-operation of the local gentry could we would be made to alleviate the anticipated Wamity. Those exhortations had the desired effect for a few hours, and the famiAting labourers dispersed ; but about 3 o'clock in the evening they re-a ambled, and commenced an indiscrimi nate attack on all the bakers' shops, out of which they took the bread before the authorities could interfere. A number of them then proceeded to the draw-bridge, and having raised the portcullis to prevent the military proceeding to Dur.garran, where it was anticipated a similar occurrence would take place to-day, they threw the handles into the ricer. In the course of the evening the cavalry were called out, but they merely paraded the streets, as after breaking Into the bakers' ahops the town became quite tranquil. The magistrates directed the bakers to make as much bread as possible for the purpose of keeping up a supply, but we understand they are deterred from doing so, being apprehensive of a fresh attack. Last night the whole country in the neighbourhood was lighted up by fires on the hills, and large detachments of people have stationed themselves at various thoroughfare* to prevent the corn being brought into the town. In consequence of those proceeding', the magistrates have deemed d advisable to apply fur additional military assistance to preserve the peace, and, accordingly, an influential member of their body was deputed to wait on Myer-Gen. Turner this day, to request a reinforcement of troops for the town and country. A poor man in Youghal, after having eaten a twopenny loaf yes terday, fainted from the effects of overloading his stomach, and, when brought to, de,:lared that he had not tasted food for twenty-four hours previously. RAILWAY MEETINGS.—The railway labourers employed an the Newry and Enniskillen line have " struck" fur 12s. a week—their present pay is 10s. The men are new hands, and the contractor has promised them a rise when they :irterzeo more ca;:ert tt railway laborer. THE PROTESTANT PRIMATE.—We are gratified to be enabled to state that the primate, who, a few days since, was attacked by serious illness, is now convalescent.—Netery Examiner: CAPTAIN WATERS, R.N., recommends the establishment of &juvenile naval school at the Cove of Cork. SCOTLAND. OFFENCES IN THE COUNTY OF EDINDUROH.-Mr. List, superintendent of the Edinburgh county police, has nub liaised an abstract of offences committed during the year which ended ou the 30th June last. Ills district does not include the city and suburbs of Edinburgh, and contained in 1811 a population of 87,272 persons. It appears that during the year 33G convictions took place, for crimes of various degrees. The number of persons found begging during the mune period was nearly 2,000. THE &must) Gillon and Mr. Smith have offered themselves as candidates for these burghs at the next election. Lord Dalmeny has expressed his intention to retire ; but Mr. Alison, of the Forth Iron-works, has issued an address, putting forward his pretensions. There are three candidates, therefore, still in the field. WALES. THE FIRST STONE OF A NEW CHURCH Wag laid on Monday last, at Pembroke Dock, by the Earl of Auckland, First Lord of the admiralty, who, with the other members of the Naval Doard, visited this dockyard on a tour of in spection. A procession was formed on the occasion, consist ing of all the military and naval offi .ers in the town and harbour, with the children of the National School, and others. EDUCATION IN WALES.—Sir,—In your paper of Saturday last, under the head of " Facts for tle Friends of National Education," you observe, on the authority of Mr. H. Grif fiths, president of Brecon College, that there ought to be 250,000 children in school in Wales. This statement is very far from teit.g cermet. The population of Wales at the last census was only 911,321, and at present it is certain that it is considerably below one million. To c xpect 2.50,000 scholars out of such a small population is anything but reasonable. Yet Mr. Griffiths does not stop at this extravagant point, but states that little more than 70,000 children an , actually at school, and adds, " Do what you will, there is no getting rid of the fact, that nearly 180,000 immortal souls are at this day left to run waste amongst us for want of an adequate system of training!" I presume such statements carry with them their own refutation.—l am, &c., A 1311r.coxissr. [Dr. Griffiths' statement, al quoted by us, was that " out of 250,000 children who ought to be at school there were 70,000 who did not attend any school at all." On turning to the enumeration abstract of the census taken in 1841 we find that the number of persons in Wales at that time, between the ages of five and fifteen (the schooling time of life) was 233,114. Allowing, therefore, for the probable increase of population since 1811, it appears that Dr. Griffiths's state ment is not so exaggerated as a " Breconian " supposes.) PROVINCIAL. MANSLAYOHTER, IN LIVERPOOL, OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.—On Monday evening, a manslaughter was per petrated in Thomas-street. Owen Tully, and his wife, Catherine Tully, the deceased, kept a small provision-shop. The man was a journeyman tailor, who worked for various tradesmen in the town. Monday being an idle day with the tailors, Tully took a long walk into the country, and on re turning home aho:..t seven o'clock in the evening, he accused his wife of being drunk, and an angry altercation took place between them. Eventually he struck her with his clenched fist in the forehead. Whilst reeling from the effects of the blow, he kicked her in the lower part of the abdomen, and repeated the kicks in that dangerous part so often and so violently, that at length the woman was attacked with hemorrhage. He seems then to have ceased from his barba rity, and to have looked for a while on his bleeding and dying victim, as she lay stretched at his feet on the ground. Bloorhouse, of Cleveland-square, was the first profes sional ;man to arrive, but when he came the unfortunate female was a corpse. When Tully perceived that there was no chance of his wife's recovery, and that life was rapidly ebbing to its close, he appears, almost unobserved by the affrighted persons with whom the house was filled, to have made his escape. He is described as a man about 40 years of age, five fret sev en or eight inches high. On Wednesday an inquest was held upon the body, when a verdict of man slaughter was reterned against Owen Tully, who yesterday gave himself up. WORCESTERSftIRE. ELECTION MOVEMENT AT EVESHAM.—On Tuesday even ing last there was a muster of about 3:5 electors at the Rose and Crown Inn, High-street. The °hie et of the meeting appears to have been inlay the foundation of a strong opposition when ever a dissolution of Parliament shall take place. This was done, says the If Chronicle, by the aid of two rounds of beef and sundry other materials, both solid and liquid, after the old fashion. It is understood that about thirty persons signed a document pledging themselves, as " blues," to vote for a man of their own. The " blues " are now represented by Mr. Peter Borthwick ! DAMAGE DONE ET GAME.—The following agriculturists of this county gave evidence before Mr. Bright's committee relative to the damage done to their produce by game: Mr. Wen. Woodward, of Pirton, near Kempsey, in Worcester shire, who holds 500 acres as yearly tenant under the Earl of Coventry, and 200 acres more of his own land. In 1844 he lost 2001. by game on Lord Coventry's farm. He also stated the amount of injury done to other farms in the neigh bourhood.—Mr. Watson, of Spetchley, had the damage of — lOO acres of corn, in 1814, valued at 1201.—Mr. John Wood %ward, of Pisham farm, had lost 60 bags of wheat on 30 acres, and he had five acres of ',etches totally destroyed.—Mr: James Bullock, of Bisford, on 13 acres of barley, had 100 bushels strayed by game ; and he loses 501. a year from Tame.—Mr. Thomas Bullock, of Pirton, estimates his yearly a amage from game at from 601. to 701. —Mr. Henry B ullock, of Cuddy Croft Farm, in Penhore parish, on a e a Id of wheat, which should have grown 10 bags per acre in Bi g '4, had only two bags per acre. Three or four years pre via, may, he had only 10 bags of wheat on the whole of that field containing 10 acres. This destruction was caused chief. 'y by rabbits.—Mr. Badger, on an adjoining farm, also value i the damage he yearly sustains from rabbits at 501. 00 4 , me of the above witnesses received any compensation for don sage by game. SCEN E AT A RAILWAY STATTON. —On Saturday night last, abe at half-past nine o'clock, a number of passengers, many of whom belonged to the regiment of yeomanry who had been attending the review at Worcester, booked them selves at th e Spetehley station for Birmingham. After wait ing a consii 'erabie time, they were informed that the train bad been de. 'eyed at Defford by the breaking of one of the axles, an d we 'tad net be up for some time, an announcement w hich was not • calculated to give much satisfaction to the cx pectaat Unveil One gentleman demanded the money which he had paid for his ticket, stating that he would return t a Wereester, but the demand was re fused; and wor •la running high, the person in charge of the office pre veedel to eject the applicant by force from the station. The altercation, as may be supposed, i attracted the attention of the other passengers, who rushed ' to the rescue, and a f_reat commotion ensued, in the midst of which the ticket manager thought it prudent to take refuge in an adjoining office. After waiting several hours the mail train from Bristol came up, and the passengers began to felicitate themselves on the prospect of being at length for warded on their journey ; but to their extreme mortifica tion, they were informed that they could not be allowed to travel by that train, although there was abundant room in the carriages. The result of this complication of mishaps sad ennecemary annoyances was, that they did not set out from Spetchley till nearly one o'clock ; and instead of arriving at Birmingham at half-past 10, they did not reach their destination till Pact two in the morning, while the pas sengers destined for the north lost all chances of pursuing their journey, and were obliged to stop for the night in Birmingham. ws • IVIVTPITOITric• TYPIIV9 FEVER. L tBi;I:I7I7icORMATION. —As this malignant dig.... is rather unusually prevalent, the simple relation of the following facts may be of use. An occasional correspondent of the Birmingham Advertiser called at the office of that paper on Wednesday, to say that the fever had twice visited the house pf a neighbour of his, and their medical attendant stated that it :esulted from the erection of a pigstye by another neighbour, in !Bch a situation that a disagreeable odour wet constantly filling the house. They had appealed to the man and to the magistrates in vain to get it removed, and at length be wrote up to the Home-office to know if there! was no redress for people who were thus poisoned in their own houses. The reply, which arrived on Wednesday last, by return of post, was a prompt and effi cient one. It informed him that the magistrates bed power under the act of last session to order its removal, and, if he would apply . to them with the certificate of the medical man, they insist give such an order. Two FIRES OCCURRED IN EXETER 11011 week, one on the premises of Mrs. Stephens, of the Half-Moon, Friday-street; the other in Ese-lane. There seems to have been a bad supply of water. 111/14111PTIMMTI REPRESENTATION Or BRIDPORT.—The recent death of Mr. Justice Williams is liltely to create a vacancy in the representation of this borough. Mr. Dundee, the present Solicitor-General, will, it is rumoured, be raised to the bench, and the appointment of Solicitor-General will be con ferred on Mr. Readily. If these changes take place, there will probably be another contest between Mr. Cochrane and the present representative. AN ALARMING Fltu, ATTENDED WITM LOSS or LIPS, I was discovered on Monday evening in the house of Mrs. Tucker, bookseller, Bridport. Mn. Tucker perished, it is supposed, by suffocation, in endeavouring to escape. The I maid-ea:nut escaped from a window. HAM PSHIRZ. Ate ISPART murr.—An inquest was held at Andover on Wednesday, on the body of W. H. IL Denison, aged two years and eight months, eldest son of H. H. Denison, Esq., residing at Walnut-tree Mansion, near Andover. It ap peared from the evidence that F. Masters, Esq., Mrs. Denison's brother, was with the child in the drawing-room after breakfast, when the child took hold of a loaded gun standing in the corner, which it pulled down, and the gun went off, lodging the whole contents in the child's head. Before surgical assistance was obtained he was quite dead. Verdict " Accidental death." ...... OF HEILEFOZDSHIRE.- - Many rumours are in circulation as to changes in the representation of this county at the general election. Mr. Hoskins, we (Here ford Journal) believe, owing to the delicate state of his health, is desirous of retiring. At Leominster it is reported that Mr. John Arkwrigbt will be put in nomination. The necessary funds for defraying the expenses of the battings have been already provided. Perhaps this notice may call forth a direct statement on the point; and of this we are quite cur:, that if Mr. Arkwright wen. toeffer tirmelf, he would be elected. The name of Mr. Biddulph, who was formerly member for this city, has also been spoken of for the county. For the borough of Leominster we presume there will be no change, but with respect to Hereford we have good hopes that by next November the electors will be in a position to relieve themselves of the monopolists who have so long wholly engrossed the representation, municipal as well as parliamentary. NORFOLK. CAPTCRI or HORSE CHAVNTEM—On Saturday, an elderly farmer, named J. Baker, from Hereford, was swin dled out of 301. in Norwich cattle market, by some strangers who pretended to be horse-dealers. They adopted the old trick of persuading him to purchase a horse which one pre tended he wanted, but could not buy of the other. As soon as the parties had secured the money they all disappeared. This is the emend time Baker has been thus duped. The police pursued them, and shout two miles beyond Derehfun the rogues were taken into custody, when they gave their names J. Clark, from Leicester; W. Robertson, from Lon don ; and N. Proctor, from Birmingham. They acknow ledged having sold the old man the horse, and would fain have returned the money and paid expenses, but this, of course, the o ffi cers would not consent to. On searching, the officers found upon them 1261., a part of it being a deposit receipt for 501., at the Westminster Bank, in the name of N. Proctor. They were brought back to Norwich, and the Mayor having heard the ease, remanded them to Monday. The horse which Baker bought for 301. is said to be worth 61. Baker said that one of them told him his name was Clark, and that he was a farmer from Wymondham. .BUBSEIL A HINT FOR HOTEL-KZErEINI. A person of fashion able exterior, calling herself the Hon. Mrs. W—, who had been staying several days at one of the principal hotels in Brighton, took her departure somewhat abruptly on Friday last, without paying her tavern bill. She had wormed herself into the confidence of some of our trades men, (one of whom, a stable.kceper at the eastern part of the town is minus about &IL by her patronage !) by a free use of the name of a distinguished planate wbo has recently , returned from the continent te resume her professional avo cations in Brighton. The lion. Mrs. W— has also recently returned from Paris,:where she went by the name of Mrs. It—. It was there she accidently met with the lady in question ; but we are informed that her conduct was so un becoming that she was ejected sans n:rimonie from the hotel. She then came to England, selecting Brighton as her next place of abode, and having made herself acquainted with the tradesmen of Madame —, succeeded in incurr ing some bills, which afterwards she forgot to pay. She assumed all the manners of a lady of fashion, and acted her part admirably. She went off very suddenly last Friday by one of the trains, and nothing has since been heard of her. —B—Brig/don Gaze tte. Ite. SUFFOLK. THE NORMAN Towea, Bury, has now undergone the experimenitim crucis. The great eastern arch is re moved, and the centre of that front is supported by shores until the arch can be replaced. The jambs and pillars to support the new arch being completed, the hideous breach was effected, and the shattered state of the ashlar and core fully bore out the statements of Mr. Cottingham as to the peril in which this part of the edifice had stood until the precaution was taken of inserting the temporary centre. A chasm is now presented, about fifteen feet wide, and the same height from the spring of the arch, in which the massive structure, eighty feet high and nearly six feet in thickness, has no other perpendicular support than the shores above mentioned; but the sound union effected in all the fissured parts above, and the immense power of the iron tics by which the tower is bound together at four stages, probably rendered the buttresses at the angles sufficient to hold up the centre without the additional precautions which have been pru dently taken. The insertion of the new arch will be com menced immediately, and proceeded with as expeditiously as consists with the solidity of the work. The process excites much interest, even amongst the commonest observers, and the surprise is very great at the restoration having been thus carried on from the top downwards, nothing of the masonry remaining to be done above, but the addition of the coping to the psraott between the turrets. REWARDS FOR VIRTDE.—Yie annual meeting of the Dunmow Agricultural Society was held on Wednesday. The proceedings commenced with a ploughing match, which took place in a field near the town. The ploughing was extremely good, notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the weather. There were seven prizes in this class, the highest being clothes to the value of 3d shillings, descending to a garment valued at is., and each of the unsuccessful com petitors received a largess of Is. After the ploughing had concluded rewards were given to labourers and servants for having practised those virtues and self-denials which according to the printed programme they are supposed to practise in an extraordinary degree. To enumerate a few of these:-1. A prize will be given to the labourer who shall have brought up the largest family without any, or with the least, parochial relief (the wages being et present Bs., and in some few cases 9s. a week)—a chest of drawers, and to the next a pair of high-shoes. 2. To the mac-servant or labourer who shall have had the care of a team of not less than four cart or plough horses the longest time, on the same farm, or with the same employer, an American clock. To the labourer under twenty years of age, who shall have sub scribed the longest time to the Dunmow Friendly Society, clothes to the value of 65., and the next in merit will be gladdened by garments to the amount of is. To the thresher who has had the care of a barn not less than ten years, a smock frock and a waistcoat, and to the next in merit a pair of high-shoes. The labourers' widows were not forgotten : to the widow of a labourer in husbandry who had brought up the largest family with the least parochial relief, was devoted a scarlet cloak ; and to the second in degree were presented a wash-tub and clothes-basket. Filial affection was not un rewarded : to the labourer who had voluatatily supported his parents the longest period exceeding one year, clothes were given to the value of his., and to the next, 10a. Filial virtues having been so nobly rewarded, parental duties were not forgotten ; for to the married couple, the la bourer and wife, who had brought up the greatest number of children with little or no parochial relief, was given, not a flitch of bacon, as was formerly the case, but a gammon thereof. The redeeming part of the performance was the exhibition of the cottagers' allotment and garden produce. The samples of fruit, vegetables, and flowers, with few exceptions, were very superior, and highly to be commended. Thirty-four appropriate prizes of agricultural and garden implements were distributed amongst the contributors ; and of these , one deserving of especial notice, was a round of beef weigh ing nearly oOlbe, given by Mr. Martin, the manager of the seciety for improving the condition of the labouring poor. INCENDIARISM.—At the Brentwood sessions yesterday, three miserablehhalf-stavedr v ed looking lads, named W. Mason, J. Clegg, and W. Smith, were committed to Chelmsford gaol, to take their trial on a charge of having set fire to five stacks of corn at Great Warley, on the 19th inst. The lads were unknown in the neighbourhood, and were seen in the vicinity of the fire about the time it broke out. They offered no other explanation or defence than saying they were not guilty. KENT. THE GRAVE-YARD NVISAHa is, it seems, to be perpe tuated in Canterbury. A correspondent of the Kent Herald says, " Can it be possible that any persons should be so be nighted as to wish to extend this crying evil of burying in densely populated cities? It would seem that the parish of St. Alphage must be a century behind the rest of England, as they propose, at a great cost, to purchase a very small piece of ground close to the church, and to go to the great expense of consecrating (heaven save the mark !) that minute piece of land. Why, the whole country has now determined on abolishing the unhealthy, indecent, practice of city inter ments ! The government measure is far advanced, which abolishes all burials in towns, and will become law next ses sion. Are there no friends to improvement in the city - who will protest against this unwise proeeeding ? A special vestry should be called, and the order suspended, or an ap plication to the Home-office be made by the authorities of the city. It is well known that nine tenths of a human body decomposing evolves in the form of gas, and this parish of St. Alphage is in the heart of a crowded city." DEATH IN HON01:11.—OH Friday Mr. James Barnes, of East Wickham, near Bexley, Bent, was found dead in his bed. The deceased had been fifty-two years parish-clerk of Wickham, and was seventy-two years old on the day of his death. A few days previous to his demise, it had been re solved by the majority of his parishioners to celebrate his lengthened services by a jubilee. It is said he had not an enemy jp the parish or nesghbourhood. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1846. Paersastmers, ke.—Bee. D. M. Cwt, to Il7Asn ear, Suffolk ; Rev.

If a bill for misdemeanor were prepared, he would be ready to find bail to any amount that might be required.—Baron Platt then gave directions that Captain Richardson should be detained in custody until the grand jury were dicharged. Before Mr. Baron Parke. THE RIOT AT THE CAMDEN-TOWN STATION. The se venteen Irish labourers who were indicted for a riot and aggravated assault on the persona of William Ellis and Geo. Marshall, at the Camden-town station, were this morning placed at the bar, and pleaded " Guilty" to the offences with which they were charged. The dock presented a curious appearance from the numbers "penned" in the confined space. The galleries were crowded by anxious friends, who bad evidently donned their holiday dresses for the occasion. His lordship asked whether Mr. Clarkson would be satis fied if the less culpable among the prisoners were bound over in their own recognisances to keep the peace for a cer tain period ? Mr. Clarkson was afraid that he could not accede to this course. His lordship then said that be must defer passing sentence until he should have read the deposi tions. Witnesses to character were then hearu, and the pa loners were remanded until a future day. ABSTRACTION OP JEWELLERY AT HAMMERSMITH.—Ar chibaId IPNeiU, 22, chemist, was indicted for stealing two chains and other articles of jewellery, value 101., the pro perty of Ann Church. The circumstances of this case have been recently given very fully in the repeated examinations of the prisoner with a person named Kennedy, before the magistrate+ at the Hammersmith police-court. It will be recollected that a lady named Riley lodged in the house of Kennedy, who carried on the profession of a surgeon at Hammersmith, the prisoner acting as his AWWWWL, and shortly before her death, which took place on last Easter Sunday, she gave a number of valuable articles of jewellery to a lady named Church, who placed them in a drawer, and shortly afterwards discovered that they had all been stolen. The prisoner was proved to have dealt with a portion of the stolen articles by pawning them some time afterwards, but it appeared that be had, from the commencement of the tranaaction, all along . declared that he bad merely acted as the agent of Kennedy in so pawning them, and that he was innocent of the robbery. Mr. Kennedy was called as a witness, but he did not appear. Baron Platt Intimated his opinion that there was not sufficient evidence to con vict the prisoner. He had always stated that Kennedy gave him the things to pawn, and certainly Kennedy had as good an opportunity to take them as he had. The jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the learned judge ordered the prisoner to be immediately dis charged. COURT.—Before the Recorder and Alderman Farncombe. On the judges taking their seats this morning a second calendar was handed to them, by which it appeared that there had been an accession of prisoner, since the commence ment of the session amounting to 47, thus making the ag gregate 246.

Sly/es, litho graphic printer, were brought up and placed at the bar, charged, the former with stealing a watch, chain, and two keys, value 151., the property of a gentleman named Henry Haley, and Gould and Styles, for receiving the same, know ing it to have been stolen. It seemed that prosecutor went to the baths on the 19th inst., and left his watch in his trowsers pocket in one of the boxes where he undressed. On getting out of the water he missed it. On the day in question the prisonermaderelative to receiving a watch from him. The female seemed to have been mixed up in the affair during the transfer of the property, but the evidence was not strong against her. It appeared that the prisoner Styles pledged the watch in Oxford-street for 51. 10s., having first asked 71. When he was asked his address he willingly gave it, rand stated to whom he had been apprenticed, which was found to be true.— The defence for Curtis was that he found the watch and chain in one of the pipes connected with the engine-room, and that he gave it to Styles, who disposed of it in conjunc tion with the woman Gould. Beyond Curtis's statement there was nothing to implicate the female, and the evidence against Styles respecting his disposal of the watch went to show that ke did it openly, giving references as to respect ability, &c., which were ninl to be perfectly correct.—The Recorder directed the jury to the insufficiency of the evidence against the woman, and also to the open manner in which Styles had pledged the watch ; but it would be for the jury to consider whether they thought Curtis guilty of feloniously taking the watch in question. After a long con sideration the jury found Curtis Guilty, and Acquitted the other prisoners. The Recorder observed that he had no doubt the prisoner had been in the habit of carrying on these practices, and, under the circumstances, he felt bound to transport him for the term of seven years. NAVAL. The Lords of the Admiralty have sent out instructions to the Commander-in-Chief in the Chinese Seas that on no ac count are the British residents at Canton to be lift without the protection of a man-of-war. This order was sent out by I the present Admiralty Board shortly after they came into office. The recent events in Canton, where the lives and properties of the merchants might have been sacrificed to the fury of an enraged Chinese mob, but for the protection afforded by the crews of foreign vessels, have shown that it is imperatively necessary that their lonl4l , ips' instructions should be carried out ; and that, with the known hostility of the Chinese at Canton to the British, and their determi nation not to admit them within the city, notwithstanding the late treaty, their lordships acted wisely in sending out these orders when they first took office. INCREASE OP SEAMEN FOR THE NAVY.—We under stand that an immediate augmentation is to be made to the number of seamen in the navy. How far the fact that the French government are increasing their army and navy may have determined the British go vernment to increase our marine, we know not ; but it cer: tainly is a wise precaution on the part of our government to have at once an increase to the number of seamen for the ltoyal navy under any circumstance' ; but more especially when France is adding so considerably to her naval and mili tary resources. The Moniteur of Tuesday publishes a reyal ordonnanee calling into active service 53,000 recruits of the class of 1845-45,782 are intended for the army, and 7,218 for the navy. M EMOKANDVM.—ADMIRALTY,Sept.IO.—The Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty are pleased to direct that the issuing price of soap to her Majesty's ships' companies shall be reduced from 84. to Gd. The Mover, Capt. Collinson, has arrived at Portsmouth from China. Her dates are Hong Kong, April 3 ; Cape of Good Hope, July 12; St. Helena, July 28; and Ascension, August 2. She arrived at Simon's Bay on the 7th of July. The ('resident, 50, Capt. Stanley, flag of Rear-Admiral Dacres, Commander-in-Chief, left Simon's Bay two days before the arrival of the Plover, for Algoa Bay, where she would re-embark her Marines, and sail thence for the Mau ritius. The Sappho, 16, Commander Gambier, and the Snake, 16, Commander Brown, were in Simon's Bay when the Plover left for St. Helena, where she arrived on the night of the 27th of July. There was no man of-war at St. Helena at that date. Lieutenant-Colonel Ross had been sworn is as governor of the island (pro fern), until a formal commission arrivedlrom England, appointing the sucessor of Colonel Trelawny, deceased. The Bittern,l6, Com. Hope, sailed from St. Helena for Loando on the 25th of July. Dr. Crawford has come home invalided from her. The Plover merely touched at Ascension. The only man-of-war there was the Tortoise, store and guard ship, Coin. Morrell. Dysentery was still raging. Captain Manse', of the Acton, 26, had been attacked by paralysis and was sent up the mountain to recruit. Mr. Eales, pro moted tram the rank of Clerk-in-charge to Paymaster and Purser, of the Vestal, 26. Capt. Talbot came home in the Plover. She was built at Calcutta for a pilot-boat, and named the Lady William licntinek. This is her first appear ance in England, and certainly she presents rather an awkward contrast to the Recruit, still at Spithead; but she has, nevertheless, done the state good service. Minute guns have been distinctly heard from the direc tion of Cowes, doubtless on the occasion of the arrival of the remains of the late commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, the Earl of Yarborough. THE PLAGUE ON BOARD THE VEStrIUS STEAM-SLOOP. —We have much pleasure in announcing to the numerous circle of friends interested in the officers and crew of the Vesuvius steam-sloop, Commander O'Callaghan, which ship had proceeded to Melville Island from Vera Cruz, in conse quence of the fatal ravages of the plague on board, that we have letters from her, dated the 29th of August, stating that the terrible scourge had departed, the vessel was wholly free from cases of fever, and the crew were in course of rapid re storation to health and efficiency.

OLD COL - RT.--Before Mr. Baron Platt. CAPTAIN RICHARDSON.—The Grand Jury came into court soon after the Learned Judge had taken his seat upon the bench, and presented a number of bills, and among them the one against Capt. Richardson for the alleged forgery of a cheque for 5,0001., and whick it ap peared they had ignored. Mr. Straight, the deputy-clerk of arraigns, having formally announced the fact, Mr. Bod kin addressing the court, said that he appeared on behalf of the directors of the Worcester, Ludlow, and Tenbury Railway Company, to prosecute a person named William Richardson for forgery, and it appeared that the grand jury had just ignored the bill that had been presented to them referring to this charge. Under ordinary circumstances the prisoner would be at once entitled to be discharged from begged respectfully but under the peculiar circumstances of this case, he respectfully to apply to the court to make an order that the prisoner should be detained until the grand jury were discharged, in order that the gentlemen for whom he appeared might have an opportunity of conferring with the shareholders in the undertaking, and deciding whether another bill in a different form to that which had been': ignored by the grand jury should be presented to them, or what other steps they might consider ad visable to be taken under the circumstances. Mr. Clarkson, who wos instructed to defend the accused, said he could not 2telp expressing an opinion that the application which herd just been made by his learned friend was of a very novel character, for, in point of fact, it amounted to this, that a person against whom a bill had been preferred, and which bill was ignored by the grand jury should "e detained in custody until the shareholders in some joint-stock undertaking had made up their minds whether they Ott:told prefer another bill against the accused gentleman, or refrain from so doing. He would submit to the court that this was not sufficient ground for the application that had teen made, and he begged to remind his lordship that the prosecutors :tad already had plenty of time to become perfectly well acquainted with all the circumstances connected with the charge, and might have had a bill for misdemeanor ready to be sent More the grand jury, in the event of their failing to subetat, tiate the charge of felony. He must again repeat that suiting t:I0 con venience of the shareholders ofa joint-stock speculation is a very novel ground to ask for the detention of any individt —Baron Platt said that he understood the substantial objec't of the application was that the prisoner might be detained until the grand jury were discharged ; and, looking at the nature of the case, he did not see how he could resist the POLICE.-YESTERDAY. WORSHIP-STREET.—A TOTAL A BsTIN ENC eSoetrrr. —Mr. Caleb Cusack, secretary to the London United Brothers Total Abstinence Benefit Society, in Alderitate street, appeared to show cause why he had unlawfully ex cluded an elderly man, named lames Sayer, from the benefits of the association.—Mr. Vann, who appeared for the complainant, stated that the society had been formed in the year 1837, at which time his client became a member, and punctually continued to pay all his subscriptions until the middle of the year 1841, when he was compelled to declare upon the sick list, which entitled him to 16s. per week; but that sum, as he appeared to be permanently afflicted, was subsequently reduced to the ordinary super annuation allowance of 3s. After receiving the latter amount for some time, the managing committee thought proper to discontinue it altogether, without assigning any other ground than that the complainant, at the time of his entrance, was beyond the age prescribed by the rules for the admission of members.—The Secretary admitted that the facts had been correctly stated by the complainant's solicitor, but said that their rules limited the maximum entrance age to 45, but that as the complainant was ad mitted at the age of 61, which resulted in a moat intolerable burden on the society, the collective amount of his super annuation allowance and receipts having been upwards of 501., while the gross sum he had contributed to the funds was only 61. Bs. 4d. ; he contended, therefore, that inas much as the complainant had been improperly con stituted a member, the present committee were per fectly justified in recurring to the strict letter of their regulations, and refusing to allow him those benefits to which legal members were alone entitled.—Mr. Bingham said that the defendant was entirely mistaken in the law of the case, as the acts of the managing-committee at the com mencement of the society were imperatively binding unon their successors, and the members in general, as long as the association continued in existence. It was acknowledged that the complainaut'scontributions as a member had been regularly received until he claimed the benefit of his sub scriptions ; and he should, therefore, order the man's imme diate reinstatement in the rights and benefits of which he had been so':mproperly deprived. MARYLEBONE. PRACTICAL JOKE. Mr. Henry Mares, a sculptor and stone-mason, residing at Kensal• green, was charged on a warrant with having been concerned in the following outrage upon Alfred Cottrell, Shaftesbury terrace, Pimlico.—Complainant deposed that he was cutting a stone in Kensal-green Cemetery, when one of defendant's men told him that his master had bet a sovereign that he (complainant) could not pull a cat attached to a rope across the canal; being much pressed to try the experiment, he left off his work, and went to the waters edge, at the end of the cemetery, when a rope was thrown across from the opposite side of the canal, and he was then told to turn round; he did so, and in an instant the said rope was tied round his waist ; he was then dragged from one side of the water to the other.—Defendant denied dragging the com plainant across, and did not know who did, though he saw the complainant in the water, and laughed at him.—John Neville said that the defendant attempted to throw the rope across, but as it fell short of the mark, it was laid hold of and thrown over by another person.—Mr. Rawlinson said it was quite clear that defendant took a part in the shameful trans action, and that as he had, according to his own account, en joyed the " sport," it was his duty to make the complainant amends, and ordered him to pay a penalty of 4/. SOUTHWARK.—Ihwerr DISTILLATION.—Lewis Pel ham, alias Simpson, and Henry Knowles, were charged with being engaged in an illicit distillery in Charles-street, Black friars-road. Pargeter, an officer of excise, stated the particulars of the seizure, as mentioned in our paper yester day.—Pelham admitted that he rented the premises of a man named Rogers; and the other prisoner said he was engaged by the former as a day labourer, to attend the fires.—The defendants were fined 30/. each, and, in default of payment, were committed for three months. LAMBETH.—AN AWKWARD CHARGE AGAINST AN AUCTIONEER.—Mr. William Ratclif, an auctioneer, whose rooms are at 135, Lower Marsh, Lambeth, and Charles Orridge, his man, were charged with the following robbery. From the evidence of the prosecutor and his witnesses, it appeared that the prisoner Ratcliff was preparing to sell by auction, on Monday next, the whole of the stock of goods upon the prosecutor's premises, and had called at his shop with his man relative to the arrangements about the sale. When they were gone, the prosecutor missed a pair of glass decanters, and having, on previous occasions of their visite, mimed other things, he proceed,cd to Ratcliff's rooms. He there saw the prisoners, and, perceiving a bag with same- thing in it, he examined it, and there found the pair of de canters he had previously missed. He then gave the prisoners into custody. The prisoner Ratcliff treated the matter rather lightly, and, saying that the decanters were taken more out of a lark than anything else, asked his fellow prisoner if he did not tell him to take back the decanters, and tell Mr. Woolfe how easily he coi - ild be robbed ? The prisoner Orridge, in the most simple manner, acknowledged that this was certainly true, but it was not until the decanters had been discovered by the prosecutor 'ilat he gave such directions. He also said that he, Orridge, had taken away the decanters from the shop of the prosecutor by directions of his master. Ratcliff denied this, but both prisoners were remanded to a future day. WESTMINSTER. CAUTION TO JOURNTTMEN. George Seeker, a journeyman baker, in the service of Mr. James Bower, of 5, Tothill-street, baker, was charged with getting drunk and neglecting his employment.—Com plainant said that defendant, who was in his service, went cut with his bread at about one on Tuesday, and returned at about three so drunk that he was incapable of following his employment. Complainant, who supplies Totbill-field liridewell with bread, had at the lisle two batches ready to put into the oven, but defendant was too drunk to do it, and complainant was, in consequence, put to very serious incon venience. Defendant was also intoxicated on the following day.-141r. Bond asked the accused what he had to say.— Defendant replied, " Nothing : I know that I have done wrong."—Defendant was committed for 21 days to hard labour. HAMMERSMITH. FORGERY. -An elderly- man, named Thomas eager, farrier, at Ilanworth, M iddlesex, was charged with haring knowingly uttered a forged bill of exchange for 251.—Robert Tutton deposed that he was a livery stable keeper in the Marlborough-road, Chelsea. Knew the prisoner well. About three months ago the pri soner came to him at the Marlborough Arms Tavern, and gave to him the bill of exchange produced for 251., dated the 16th of June, and which came due on the 19th July last, and told witness that it was accepted by Mr. Thomas Coggin, the landlord of the Eight Belle public-house, at Fulham.—By Mr. Paynter : Had before that discounted a bill of exchange for 251. at two months' date, which bore the acceptance of Mr. Coggan, but when that came due, Mr. Coggan, on notice being given him of the fact, said he was not prepared, but that it should be all right. The prisoner then came to witness with the bill produced, and said that as Mr. Cog gan was notprepared to take the first one up, he had brought another bill accepted by Mr. Coggan for one month, which he took, but did not give up the first bill. When, however, the second bill came due, and he went about it to Mr. Cog gin, that person said that the man who had uttered' it (meaning the prisoner), had run away, and that he (Mr. Coggan) knew nothing about it, and had not accepted at. — Thomas Coggin deposed that he was landlord of the Eight Bells public-house at Fulham. Knew the prisoner at the bar. Had accepted for the priso ner a bill of exchange for 251. at two months' date, but had not since accepted another bill of exchange at one month's date for the same amount. Had known the prisoner for many years, and had never heard anything wrong of him. Could writehisown name.—The prisoner, in answer to the charge, denied the forgery, saying he could not write, and declared that the bill was drawn up according to an agreement he had with Mr. Coggan.—Mr. Paynter said he should remand the prisoner fora week.—Application was made for the prisoner to be admitted to bail, and Mr. Payn ter agreed to take two sureties in 401. each, twenty-four hours' notice being first given to the police. MONEY MARKET. _ TEVIIIIDLIF ETIXIIIO. The funds opened this morning with i.dlleratiTc; pro mising appearance of improvement, and an actual advance in the first transactions in Consols of 1 percent. upon the closing quotations of yesterday. The market was not, however, long sustained, and Consols returned to the yesterday 'a scale of 9.51 to 1 for money, and 951 to 1 for account Exchequer Bills, lls. to I4s. premium. India Bonds, 20s. to 235. premium. The news brought by the New York packet of the actual landing of Santa Anna at Vera Cruz, his assumption of the government, with the deposition or imprisonment of Paredes, events sufficiently significative of the disorder reigning in Mexico, together with the reported invasion and annexation of California by the American squadron and forces on that station, had the singular effect of somewhat bettering the quotations of Mexican Bonds, the reverse of which to any reasonable understanding would have seemed to follow. For, assuming that Santa Anna should ratify the late conversion, which is thought to be scarcely probable, still the separation of California from the Mexican federa tion, of which it is one of the States, should, pro tanto, diminish the value of the bond given as representing the aggregate security of the state in its integrity. In the same sense the secession of Texas was viewed at the time, and still is. In fact, however, in the desperate circumstances of Mexican finance, and with the apparent impossibility of their retrieval for years to come, it is not supposed that the pro spect of dividends would be much improved or deteriorated whether the federation stand entire, or be split into fractional parts. It may be as well that the real position of Mexico and her financial affairs should be properly understood, as efforts are not wanting, and will not be, to deal silently out among the public, on almost any terms, the hundreds of thousands nominal of new bonds created and held here on account of the late Mexican government.

Some business was done in Blackwall at advanced prices yesterday, on the presumption, or report, noticed on a former occasion, that the line would be eventually absorbed into the London and North Western combination. The shares were done at 81, being an advance of about I, but they receded subsequently to 8. North Staffordshire declined to 2I on some parcels being thrown upon the market, but recovered afterwards to 3. Some of the Irish lines were talked about, as being at low prices, but little was done in them. The market altogether was weak and undecided in character. . . . . . There was no change worth noticing in the Share Market at Liverpool, except that Chester and Birkenhead again took a start, and were done as high as 64. The report of a probable arrangement with the London and North-Western is the cause ; but whether there is any just ground for the report is entirely uncertain. North Staffordshires are offered rather freely, and declined to 21 p. Birmingham and Ox ford were also lower, 31 p. At Manchester the market was languid; business was limited, and prices were without change. The market at Birmingham was somewhat brisker : the transactions were more numerous, and not confined so exclu sively to the local lines. There were sales in the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley at 11 p. ; and StourValleys were done at I p. North Staffordehires were done at the com mencement of the business at 31, but at the close they had re- ceded to 3i p. At Leeds the amount of business done was trifling, and at a greater decline in price than has been observed for some time past. There appearsto be aeomplete stagnation amongst the speculators—Leeds and Thirsk declined Bs. 6d. ; Leeds and Dewsbury, 75. 6d.; East Lancashire, 2.8. 6d.• New castle and Berwick advanced 2s. 6d. ; and the Eastern Counties' Extension, 2s. fxl. per share less. MEETING THIS DAY. _ Gloucester, AterysWth, ; London Tavern: 1 p.m. PROVINCIAL. - EDINBURGH AND GLARGOW.-NEW BOARD or Dtitteroiss.—We subjoin a summary notice of the business transacted at the opeelal meeting of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Rail way Company after the despatch of our packet on Tuesday evening. Cheetham proposed the following list of new directors:—For Glasgow: Messrs. Peter Blackburn, of Killearn ; J. Orl Ewing, of Brumley ; Henry Dunlop, of Craigoon; G. J. Adam•, of Denny ; and John Henderson, of Park. For Edinburgh Messrs. James Maitland Hog, Alex. Clipperton, and John Maitland. From the English share- I holders : Mesas. J. B. Smith, Raison, Rawson, Openshaw, Gaston, M'Kay, and Cheetham. He stated that it was the expectation of the deputation that Lord Dunfermline would consent to become the chair man of the directors, in the event of which one of the English share- holders would retire from the board. Mr. Rawson bad consented to come down to Scotland with his family for two or three months for the purpose of superintending the internal administration of the affairs of the company, and upon this arrangement the success of their plans were mainly built. The meeting, with the exception of three dissentients, unanimously agreed to grant thedirectors the indemnity proposes', and the list of directors submitted by Mr. Cheetham was approved of.—Mr. J. B. Smith then moved, "That the opportunity of I declaring a half-yearly dividend having been lost by the closing of the last general meeting, it be recommended to the directors to take steps to remedy this defect, by ordering a payment on account to the share holders to an extent according with the probable amount of the divi dend arising from the profits of the past half-year ; and this meeting pledges itself, en far as it is competent so to do, to hold the directors indemnified for making such payment."—Mr. Rosson seconded the motion, which was carried, Mr. Hosier and Mr. Logic dissenting.— Mr. Leadbitter proposed a vote of thanks, to the directors, which was seconded by Mr. Wothersponn.—The English deputation could not agree to let the motion pass unless it was admitted on the record that they were silent on the subject. —Mr. Leadbitter mull not consent to this ; but after a discussion the motion was agreed to, on the under standing that the English deputation ahoy's' not vote.—.titer some formal business the meeting adjourned for a month. RIIODY AND LEAMINOTON.—This line has been sold to the London and North-western Railway Company at W. pm, on the 201. shares, or 4/. ptn. on the 161. shares. CALEDONIAN EXTENSION RAILWAY.—A meeting of the shareholders was held at Edinburgh on Wednesday; Mr. Hodgson Itinde, SLP., in the chair; to consider the propriety of dissolving the company. After the appointment of nerutineere the secretary stated that the number of shares that bad been issued was 59,140. Ile then read the directors' report, which expressed their regret in baring to an nounce to the shareholders the failure of their application to Parlia ment. The report then stated that the expenses that had been incurred amounted to 51,6301., or about 178. per share. The chance of carrying thia bill being greatly diminished by the succesa of the Glasgow And Dumfries line, and as many of the shareholders had expressed a dente for the disaolution of the company, the directors did not consider it to be their duty to recommend its further prosecution. The report concluded by gating, that the 4 foeLors had entered Into an arrangement with the Csledonian Railway Company 44 that company wetele megtdre• right to the phew., se., Mohan Latessies, as the condition that they should indent debts of the Caledonian Emulous beyos:d 151. sha re. rangement would ensbie ths directors of the m ; repay to the shareholikrs share.
