They have no connexion with any other house in or out of London ; and those who desire genuine and chop clothing, &c., should call at, or send to, Minories and Aldgate, City, London. Notico.—No business transacted at this establi , hment from sun-- set Friday, till sunset Saturday, when business • s resumed till twelve o'clock The entrance to the fur department is at 83, Aldgate, corner of the Minories and Aldgate, opposite the church. OPENING THE PORTS. On Saturday, at half-past four o'clock, according to previous appointment, Lord John Russell received, at his official residence, the members of four diff,rent deputations, appointed at recent metropolitan meetings, got up in favour of opening the ports to the free admis • sir , n of foreign food. and at which memorials were agreed in to be presented to his Lordshi p by the deputations h qtu•stion. The meetings referred to wereheld in the Borough, at, the L• ,ndon Tavern, the Crown and Anchor, the Riding School, and John-street Institution, in the parish of St. Pancras. Mr. Lea Stephens was entrusted with the B tough memorial, the Rev. W. Stoddart with the one from the Crown arid Anchor, and Dr. Bird ar.d \lr. Alexander Camp,, 11 were entrusted with the others In aadition, there were pr-sent Mr. Charles Cochrane. Mr. Knighten, Mr Ellis, and Mr. Savage. His Lordship received the deputation with his usual urbanity, and having reepested them to be seated, the different memo rials v‘ ere pre, ented ut su ccession. u s the spokesman of the deputation , Mr. Cochrane , impressed on his Lordshi a p the with impoeveryrtance prospect in the p of a resent state of the country, nd, famine, the neces-ity of conceding to the prayer ofthe m emorialists. He cited a number of instances in which the greatest privations bad ben suffered through the high price of provisions, and especially recalled to his Lordship's recollection his declaration contained in his address to the city of London, delivered about this time last year. His Lordship, having listened with great attention, said that should there be any emergency requiring extraordinary measures, he would be prepared to advise his colleagues to adopt them, and when Par liament met he would be prepared to justify his conduct. Mr. Cochrane expressed himself dissatisfied, and wished idg Lordship to be more precise in what he would con sider .‘ an extraordinary emergency," but his Lordship said that he could give no further explanation. The - deputation then withdrew. ANOTHER FIRE AT GRAVESEND.—On Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, a fire broke out upon the premises iu the occupation of Mr. Baker, greengrocer, at the corner of Bentley-street, Gravesend. Informa tion was at once furnished to Mr. Loder, the engineer of the brigade, who was tending the ruins in West-street at the time, and in a few minutes he dispatched Perrier and Carter to the spot. The fire had by this time ob tained considerable hold of the bed, bedding, furniture, and skirting boards of the room, and was rapidly ex tending upwards, when the firemen rushed in and tore out the bed furniture and well saturated the floors with water, which happily had the effect of staying the pro gress of the fire. Considerable injury, however, is done to the contents and building. The occupier is insured. CURIOUS INCIDENT.—On Monday last, as a train was going to Didcot, a woodcock flew against the engine, and was immediately killed by the concussion ; it was picked up on the return of the engine, when its breast was found with the skin torn off. It was to be seen at Mr. Carter's, in the High-street.—Oxford Chronicle. DEATH BT FIRE AT A POLICE-STATlON.—Thurs day, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital, on Thomas Green, aged five years, the son of Police constable 330 K. The parents of deceased reside in the section-house of the police-station in Arbour-square Stepney. On Tuesday morning both parents left the room for a few minutes, when deceased began lighting paper, by which his clothes were set on fire. his screams attracted his father's attention, who extinguished the flames. The deceased was burnt in a most dreadful manner all over the body, and he expired in the hospital shortly after his admission. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." THE LATE EXPLOSION AT OLDBURY. —D HDLEY, Nov. 19.—Adjourned inquests were held to-day in the district where the unfortunate accident occurred, but to morrow Mr. Hincliffe resumes the inquiry a. Oldbury, when the most important evidence with respect to the state of the pits will be produced. The evidence to day has been entirely with respect to the identity of the bodies. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES.—On Thursday information was circulated that on Saturday night last the house of Mr. Richard Ward, at Kilpin Pike, in the parish of Howden, in Yorkshire, was broken into and robbed of 301. in gold, 201. in silver (including about 150 sixpences and 200 fourpenny pieces), a bank book, with Mr. Wood's name on the outside case, and a parcel contain ing three dozen Turkey red cotton handkerchiefs, and several blue ditto. Part of the gold was in a small black bag, and the silver was in a white linen bag. Two men are suspected, who were seen lurking aboul the place. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE VIOLENT STORM.—REMARKABLE FALL OF THE BAROMETER.—During the night of Thursday last, the wind, which for the last three or four days has been south-easterly, increased in fury till it blew quite a gale from the south-east, and there is great reason fo fear much damage to shipping. Contemporaneously with this high wind, an extraordinary fall of the barometer has been remarked, a circumstance which indicates a great storm. Previously, the barometer had been very high, but was gradually declining. Thus, on Thursday week, the 12th inst., it stood at 30 38 all day. It fell on the subsequent day to 30 . 32, 30.24, 30.09, 30.04, 29 . 70, 29 . 68; and on Thursday evening last, about nine o'clock, it was 22-sg. During the night, however, it fell to 29 . 10, and had fallen during yesterday still further; for last even ing, at five o'clock, it stood at 28 . 85. It therefore fell 048 during the night, and 0'25 during yesterday; in I all 013 (more than seven-tenths) during twenty hours. 1 —Manchester Guardian. MALTA, Nov. 14.—The various packets due have all arrived. Serious fears were lately entertained for the safety of her Majesty's steamer Volcano, which was known to have left Marseilles on the morning of the Ist inst. On the 10th, at six A.M., her Majesty's steamer Hecla was sent out to look for her, and at three P.M. saw her under sail, and on coming up took her in tow. The Volcano had experienced very bad weather, and been obliged to blow off her steam and use her sails. She had the mis fortune also to carry away her foreyard. By this delay that portion of the India mails' sent through France did not go forward, the Oriental having sailed on the Bth. It is now here, and will be forwarded by the Ariel on the arrival of the Achilles from England. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steatrer Iberia has been taken off.this station and sent home, touching at Malaga and Gibraltar. Her place is to be supplied by the Ariel, one of the swiftest boats we have ever seen on this station. The Trident appears likely to prove a complete failure. She has been tried by the Admiral under every circum stance considered favourable—laden by the head, and by the stern. She will next be tried on an even keel, and if then unsuccessful, will be sent home in despair of her being ever useful here. The Dutch squadron under Prince Henry is still here. It is reported it will _put to sea in the early part of next week. Her Majesty's ship Tyne will leave port on M onda y next, it is said, for England, w h e re she will be paid off , having been four years in commission in April next. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 22.—The Polyphemus steam sloop, Commander, M'Cleverty, arrived last evening from Lisbon, having made the passage in the extraordinary quick time of four days. The Scourge steam-sloop, Commander Caffin, came into the harbour yesterdayornd went under the masting sheers, where her•l3-inelreetak and shells were re moved, placed in an ordnance hoy, fiend transferred to the gun wharf. She will complete coals, and take on board stores for Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker's squadron, off Lisbon, to-morrow, and leave in the evening, or Tuesday morning. Commander Gower Lowe has commissioned the Re sistance troop-ship, and his officers and crew have been turned over to that ship from the Crocodile. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, was removed from the basin yesterday morning, and moored off Cold harbour, Gosport, where she will complete for sea. The Rhadamanthus steam troop-ship, Master Com mander Leen, put out the marines she had on board belonging to the eastern divisions into the Terrible yesterday, and that vessel left with them after dark for Woolwich, calling at Sheerness to disembark the men belonging to the Chatham division. The Rhadamanthus came into harbour and disem barked the men of the Portsmouth division this morning. The authorities, who have had the superintendence of these men since their arrival at Plymouth in the Terrible, are not entitled to much credit for their arrangements. They were embarked in the Terrible at Lisbon, and taken by that vessel to Plymouth; on their arrival they were transferred to the Rhadamanthus and brought here—the Terrible arriving six hours before them; then the majority of them were transferred again to the Terrible for a passage to join their divisions at the east ward; and as a climax to this apparent bad management, the remainder, after forty for hours' spell at Spithead during awful weather, were landed here on Sunday morning during a heavy squall of wind and rain, soaking both men and baggage through. All this might have been avoided by the exercise of a little common sense. Why not have suffered all the men, with the exception of those belonging to Plymouth, to have remained on board the frigate until her arrival at Spithead? It was well known she was to call here on her way to the river long before she left Lisbon. But perhaps the movements have been conducted with a view to accustoming the men to the performance of such manoeuvres! The Nimrod, 20, Commander Dacres, was at Cape Mount, coast of Africa, on the 30th of September; at which date The Lily, 16, Commander Newton, was en route from Sierra Leone to Ascension and England. The cause of her coming home is in consequence of two officers in her having written for courts-martial upon themselves. The Water witch, 8, Commander T. F. Birch, was cruizing, having left for St. Helena on the 22c1, after taking in a tine prize for adjudication. The Ferrett, 8, Commander Sprigg, was cruizing off She •Bar. The Cygnet, 6, Commander Montresor, was at the Gallinas. The Wanderer, 12, Commander Somerville, was en route to the Pongas. The Snake, 16, Commander Brown, arrived at Mauri tius, from the Cape, on the 10th of August. The Semarang, 26, Captain Sir E. Belcher, arrived at the Mauritius, from China and Si: gapore, on the 25th of August, en route to England. PLIDIOUTH, Nov. 20,—Last night this port was visited by a tremendous storm from the southward and west ward, occasionally accompanied by heavy rain. During the height of the gale, about three this morn ing, the small schoone r Providence, Captain Allen, of Falmouth, then lying in the mouth of the Catwater, with one anchor and a kedge, dragged her moorings, and not havin g , any of her crew on board, unfortunately fell across Captain Boussin, belonging to Port - au - Pri nce, in ballast the bow of the brig He ros of about 200 tons, from London, bound for St. Domingo. The brig had two bowers and a kedge down, and would have ridden out the gale in safety, but for the accident to the schooner. They both drove ashore under Queen Anne's battery. The brig lies with her stern towards the land, hull in jured, and jib-boom carried away. The schooner lies across the brig's bow, her mainmast gone by the board, and being lightly built and most exposed, will probably go to pieces next tide. The stores of both are landing. The schooner Alpha, of Plymouth, Captain Harper, broke from her moorings between the island and the main, and went ashore in Firestone Bay. She is laden with Delabole slate. This morning the Danish brig Niord, Captain Quaat, having signalled for assistance, the Queen's Harbour master, Mr. Walker, promptly supplied her with a frigate's chain and anchor. The American barquo Columbus, 750 tons, drawing 111 feet of water, Captain Wood, from Hamburgh, with ballast and goods, for Batavia, in endeavouring to dock at Cattedown, in order to examine her bottom, on Wednesday, just at the pitch of high water, had her two stern fastenings broken by a barge under sail up Catwater, in consequence of which the Columbus swung alongside the quay, with h er s tern on soft ground : she strained severely, and the next tide the water ran into her. While clearing the bold, on Thursday, the main mast sprung in the wake of the mainyard by the lifting of her keel and keelson. To prev ent injury to the cre w, her larboard main-ri gg i ng was then cut away, and her mainmast fell o n h er star b o ard side, carrying o ther spars, rigging, and gear with it. The ex tent of the damage is yet unknown. WOOLWICH, NOT. 21.—The Grappler steam -vessel, Lieutenant Lysaght commanding, will leave Woolwich on Tuesday next for the Island of Ascension, and will embark Mr. Hook, one of the Slave C o mmissioners, for the coast of Africa. Captain Hutton, R.N., the new Governor of Ascension will also embark in the Grappler for a passage to that island. The Grappler is one of the experimental vessels, constructed of iron; and, upon trial down the river, was found to he very fast, and reported to answer well. The Rosamond (late Eclair), Commander J. Foote, was tried down the river on Friday, and found in good order. She embarked one bombardier and nine gunners of Marine Artillery in the afternoon of the same day, and it is said she will proceed to the Cape of Good Hope to relieve the Thunderbolt steam-vessel, Commander Boyle. The Gorgon steam-vessel, Commander Crouch, is to be paid off about the 27th instant. The Growler steam-vessel, having had her carpenter's defects made good at Deptford dockyard, was towed down the river to Woolwich on Thursday, and taken into the basin on Friday, to have her machinery put in order. The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, C. 8., w ill leave Woolwich early in t he en suing week. Her destination is not yet known, but will be communicated on her arrival at Portsmouth. The harbour at Woolwich presents a very animated scene at present, owieg to the number of vessels in commission at that port, at present consisting of the following: — The William and Mary yacht, bearing the flag of , e L l i l e a u s t t e i n fr a s n n t r L r e y y s i a n g g h . . e esel, Rear-Adiniral Sir F.

NORTH SHIELDS, SATURDAY.—This part of the coast was yesterday visited by a fearful gale of wind from the S.E. and S.S.E., which, though of but short duration, did great damage to shipping at sea, as well as in this harbour. There was•a smart breeze early in the morn ing, which subsided after sun rise, and rose again with the flood tide in the afternoon. Four vessels went on the Black Middens, in attempting to enter the harbour, but all hands were saved with the exception of the captain of the Sceptre. The Briton, trader between this port and London, was the first vessel that struck, and in a very few minutes after the Fenvvick, of Sunderland, coal laden, did so likewise. Both vessels were within fifty yards of the shore ; and, on signals of distress being made, the life boat was launched, and thecrew of the Fenwick were safely Lindell. The boat then made towards the Briton, but the sea was so rough that it was impcssible to approach her. DenneY's rockets were then brought into requisition, and a line was thrown across the vessel, bnt the crew refused to make use of it, being determined to remain by the vessel. The tide had then begun to ebb, and they calculated on being able to ride the storm out and land after the time had receded. In about an hour after the Briton and Fenwick had been cast on the rocks, two other vessels were observed in the offing making towards the harbour. One proved to be e. Dutch galliot. She came ashore close under the battery at Tynemouth, and was floated up to within a few yards of the cliff. She got off again this afternoon, when she was towed into harbour, but has sustained considerable damage. The other vessel was the Sceptre, of this port, coal laden, and she went right athwart the Briton, stove in her stern, and did other damage. The crew of the Sceptre saved them selves by leaping on board the Briton, where they re mained till the water had receded, with the exception of the master, Mr. John Ruddock, who in leaping fell between the vessels and was drowned. His body was found the same evening within a few yards of the Briton. The Sceptre being in a bad position, was lifted by the sea and dashed against the rocks, and went to pieces in a short time. The Briton has sustained great damage, and will probably be a complete wreck. She had on board a very valuable cargo, and had only sailed for London on the preceding day. The wind moderated towards night, and has since continued so. As soon as the tide receded, so as to allow the crew to land, the vessels were hoarded by wreckers, and pillaged of everything valuable, sails, ropes, and everything handy were cut away and carried off ; even the clothes of the men were taken. The most disgrace ful scenes were witnessed during the night. The Preventive men were knocked down and thrust aside, their lights put out, and the vessels were literally gutted. About nine this morning a detachment of soldiers from the garrison was sent to protect the property, but they fully realised the fable of "locking the door when the horse was stolen." The shipping in the harbour have also surered great damage. TERRIFIC GALE AT LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. — We were yesterday visited by an exceedingly severe storm, which committed much havoc on shipping and other property in and around Liverpool. On Thursday the weather was fine, but from indications which were visible in the position of the mercury, it was evident that a change was about to occur. The glass on that day fell suddenly, and Cap tain Lott, who left the Mersey for Halifax and Boston in the Caledonia in the course of the forenoon, was heard to say that he anticipated a terrific gale. He bias, un fortunately, been a true prophet ; but we have every hope that his noble ship has rode triumphantly over the angry and furious waves of St. George's Channel, and that she,now stems her way across the waters of the At lantic, and will reach her destination in good time and perfectly uninjured. The gale commenced shortly before three o'clock yes terday morning. It originally sprung up from the S.E., but gradually veered to S.S.W., from which point it ac quired a terrific force, and it was not till three o'clock, p.m., that it abated—then only partially. The storm blew exactly down the river Mersey, and many vessels were lying at anchor outside. Never (lid the Mersey present a more sublime and awful spectacle. Its waters were lashed into madness, and seemed as if bent upon dealing out universal de struction to everything that came within their angry gasp. The lovers of the wild and sublime thronged the pier when the storm raged with its greatest fury, and many'wh9 were feasting their curiosity on the majestic but appalling scene before them did so at the risk of a complete drenching, which no few of the devotees re ceived. The wind had reached its climax about noon. At that time it blew a complete tornado. It was then high water, and the waves rose with fearful violence, and swept over the vessels anchored in the river, whilst the spray. dancing fantastically, occasionally swept along the piers. Some of the vessels at anchor in the river braved the fury of the raging elements with compara tively little injury. Others parted from their cables, and drLed out of the river, and are now on shore en Bootle Bay: The following particulars, which we have been enabled to obtain from various sources, will show the severity of the storm, and the amount of damage, so far as we now know, which it has caused: — The Skerryvore tug-boat sunk off St. George's-pier; crew saved. A quarantine barque drew her anchors, and went ashore in Bootle Bay; and f a T s c li n e ° W o n e e k r e a fi l e s l o d bri partedgj a t narrived and r from w S e t n .

THE REPUBLIC OF CRACOW. (From the Times.) It will give us unaffected pleasure to,find that we were misled by fallacious appearances when we hinted that in the present position of the French Government it was not improbable that the Northern Powers had secured the secret acquiescence of that Court to their coup d'eicit against the republic of Cracow. Some of the leading organs of the French Ministerial press have indeed gone to great lengths in indulging their spite and rancour against this country by assuring the world that France was ready to accept and to profit by titerioill_riolent and rapacious projects that could be entertained at St. Peters burgh. Our own remarks on the subject only imputed to them a policy in which some °f a thom already placed the future glory of the French Cabinet; and if they con ceive themselves to be injuriously affected by the suspi cions we expressed, they have nothing* tOshlaine but their own imprudence in assuming that kiitits and unreal i l i[lifi tmo servility which awakened ou rebellions. At the first touch of fact, all the drea . the Pre ; ye about a Russian alliance vanish into thin , . The more autho ritative and dignified organs tf M. Guizot pronounce an opinion and a protest, as decided as our own,setith refer ence to the extinction of the republic of Cracow; and in spite of the divisions which may exist between the two Cabinets of England and France on another point, we can not but rejoice that an event like this should-have forcibly reminded them of their common duties aTOfit common . rights. It is impossible to allow an eventual contingent dispute, like that arising out of a . marriages, lip 1 to sever those relations of two co which are based on the very foundations of their ical condition and their social wants. A Minister either, state would ill discharge his duty to the public and to the Crown he serves, if he were to sacrifice all the pointi on which he may agree to that one on which he must differ. This very incident of the annihilation of Cracow is a striking proof of the use to which other Powers think they may turn our differences; but those differences arc not, we rejoice to find, so deep as to extinguish or abate the force of the indignant remonstrance with which the Govern ments of England and France are, and must be, prepared to animadvert upon such a violation of the public law of Europe. No personal jealousies, we will even add no recent defeats on one field, can withhold us from support ing the principles which are the basis of British policy; and we are persuaded that there is not a well-wisher to the peace of the world who will not rejoice that the influence of France is not lost to the good cause, but is likely to be exercised in conjunction with our own. The Augsburg Gazette, which was employed by the Cabinet of Vienna to announce its conquest and acquisi tion to Germany and the world , appears to have pre sumed to a most extraordinary degree upon the igno rance and credulity of the public. The assertion that the independence and neutrality of Cracow were matters settled between the three protecting Powers alone, and regarded by them merely as an experiment terminable at their pleasure, is a barefaced falsehood. We had already anticipated the answer by publishing the article of the Treaty of Vienna, by which all the stipulations relating to Cracow are virtually incorporated in that solemn act ; and it is utterly futile to pretend that any subsequent act, short of the concert of all the great Powers, could alter or abrogate those arrangements. The protecting Courts themselves have repeatedly , acknowledged the indefeasible vigour of the conditions they now obliterate and deny ; for as often as England and France have protested against their arbitrary measures towards Cracow, the answer has been that they were but temporary, and that Austria herself was most anxious to restore the republic to its legi timate condition. Can anything equal the ab surdity of the pretence that the existence of Cracow was formidable to Germany? It might be in convenient to a couple of German Courts, laden with the spoils of Poland and embarrassed by the political crimes of the last century; but it was as the root and heart or Poland that Cracow was to be wiped out of the map of Europe. Germany, indeed, or at least the two great German courts, conspired but too effectually against Poland; but we have yet to learn by what means the last fragment of their victim threatened to avenge upon their dominions the wrongs done to that fallen mo narchy, of which it was once the head. The sensation produced by this event in France and throughout Ger many has been deep and strong. Such acts of power are not wrought with impunity; such calamities are not en dured in vain. The imperious violence of Russia, the timid craft of Austria, have combined to strike off one of the branches of the Treaty of Vienna; and the weak and vaccillating Court of Berlin, disapproving of the harshness of one of its accomplices and the baser prac• tices of the other, has lent itself to sanction the work of encroachment and oppression. The protest against such deeds is one of opinion even more than of political in fluence and authority; and we venture to affirm that the protest will be universal throughout the world, and must again bring the Governments of England and France to co-operate in a common cause. MARYLEBO'NE VESTRY THE POLICE.—At the Marylebonc vestry on Saur day, the alleged inefficiency of the metropolitan police was brought under the notice of the vestry by Mr. Flood reading the following communication from the Police Commissioners : _ _ . ,• "Sir,—The Commissioners of Police of the metropolis have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 24th inst., stating that you are directed by the vestry of SG Marylebone to apply to them for a return of the number of police employed in the parish, and that as a committee of vestry is appointed to take the return into consideration, you request an early answer. The Com missioners have to state in reply, for the information of the vestry, that the police divisions have not been formed with reference to parochial boundaries, and that the parish of St. Marylebone, from its great extent, forms part of three divisions (D, called the Marylebone divi sion, the E, or Holborn division, and the S, or Hamp stead division). The beats of the constables on such divisions are formed according to local circumstances, without reference to the boundary of a parish, and the number of constables on duty in particular parts is varied from time to time, as circumstances make desir able. The Commissioners have always felt it proper not to state the number of police on duty in any parti cular district by day or night, and they beg to observe, that the actual number of police on duty at any place, would not give a just representation of the amount of pro tection by the police given at that place. The distribu tion of the police force throughout the police district is mane with a view to afford the utmost degree of protec tion to the whole, by rendering the police in each part as effective as possible, and the services of the entire police force, or any portion of it, are available, if required, for the protection of any particular part of the district. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "RICHARD MAYNE. " Metropolitan Police-office, 4, Whitehall-place, Nov. 20." After several gentlemen had complained of the insuf ficiency of the police, the foregoing communication was entered on the minutes. BATHS AND WASHHOUSNS. — Air. Flood read the following from Sir George Grey, with reference to the establishment of baths and washhouses:—" Whitehall, Nov. 17, 1846. Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th instant, transmitting for his approval a reso lution of the vestry of St. Marylebone, that the Act for the establishment of Public Baths and Washhouses (9th and 10th Vict., c. 74), be adopted in that parish; and I am to inform you, that as the sanction of the Secretary of State was required by the Act, in order to afford an opportunity for any objections being stated and consi. dered to a resolution of vestry, Sir George Grey must allow a moderate time for this purpose, although in the present case he has much satisfaction in believing that no objections are likely to be made to the unanimous decision of the vestry.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, S. M. PHILLIPS.—To the Vestry Clerk of the parish of St. Marylebone." TEN POUND HOUSEHOLDERS.--A circular from Sir G. Grey, Secretary of State, requesting that an inclosed copy of a form for making a return of the number of houses of 101. value and upwards, in every city and borough in England and Wales returning Members to Parliament, be filled up, was referred to the vestry-clerk. DEATH CAUSED BY LEVERETS.—As Joseph Flem mg, coachman to the Messrs. Felgate, Bowdesley Bury was riding a spirited mare, three leverets, which he had in his pocket, commenced squeaking. Their noise frightened the mare, and she dashed away at a full gallop, pitching off Fleming, who was killed on the spot. ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—At six o'clock on Fri day morning a Greenwich waterman, named Charles Webb, about forty-eight years of age, having to pilot a vessel up from Gravesend, made his skiff fast to a schooner going rapidly down the river. Webb was supposed to have fallen asleep, whilst his son, a lad about seventeen years old, kept a look-out. Off Pur fleet a Government lighter struck the skiff, and cut it completely in two. Webb sunk to rise no more, but a boat having been lowered from the schooner, the lad was picked up in a state of utter insensibility. Webb has left a wife and seven children utterly unprovided for. LORD CAMPBELL AN LL.D.—The Senatus Aca demicus of the University of St. Andrew's, on the 14th instant, unanimously conferred the degree of LL.D. on the Right Hon. Lord Campbell, formerly an alumnus of this University. THE ROMANCE OF WAR; OR, THE HIGHLANDERS IN SPAIN. BY JAMES GRANT, ESQ., LATE 62D.

THE HEALTH OF TOWNS' ASSOCIATION. A numerous deputation from this association, headed by Lord Ashley, and accompanied by delegates from some of the provincial branches, waited upon Sir George Grey, Secretary of State for the Home Department, and Lerd Morpeth, Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, on Friday last, with the view of urging upon Government the necessity of adopting general legisla tive measures in the next session of Parliament, for the sanatory improvement of the towns and populous districts of the United Kingdom. Lord AsnLEY briefly explained the object of the depu tation, and presented to Sir George Grey a memorial on the subject, drawn up by the committee, embodying the views of the association, which are now before the public in an elaborate report on Lord Lincoln's Bill. In presenting this memorial, he (Lord Ashley) desired to state that the main point to which the association desired earnestly to draw attention, was that in any general sanatory measure which might be contemplated, the me tropolis, Scotland, and Ireland, should be included, all of which were omitted from the intended operation of Lord Lincoln's Bill. Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH stated that the Health of Towns' Association had been formed for the purpose of circulating information on this most important subject, with the view of assisting the Government to the utmost of their power in any contemplated legislation, by pre paring the public mind for the change. They had already distributed a great amount of information, and with good effect, but they were anxious to ascertain what were the intentions of Government with respect to legislation, in order that they might direct their efforts in co-operation to ensure the provision of a satisfactory measure. The Hon. F. BYNG stated that if it were necessary to urge any facts to show the necessity of inoluding the metropolis in any contemplated legislation, there were gentlethen then present who could ,bring forward the strongest proofs of this necessity. Sir G. GREY 'remarked that it would be quite urine. cessary to state any additional facts, The members of the GovernmenNere fully alive to the importance of - the subject, and it had received their serious attention for some time. They had had several meetings thereon, and Lord Morpeth's attention had been more especially devoted to the matter, with the view to the preparation of general measures proposed to be brought into Parlia ment early in the ensuing session. It was not to be sup posed that because the metropolis, and Scotland and Ire land, were omitted from the general measure proposed by Lord Lincoln, that they were intended to be passed over, but that the different cases requiring different machinery they should be subject to separate Acts. Mr. GRAINGER remarked that it was most essential to have some understanding on the subject of a general measure in the next session, as steps were being taken in various towns to apply for special local Acts, involv ing considerable outlay, which might prove to be utterly useless. There was a gentleman then present from one of those towns, where this course had been determined upon, where an expenditure of 2,0001. would be entirely thrown away if a general measure were obtained. Sir G. GREY stated that he had received a deputation from Sunderland, only the day before, who had come up to consult with him on this very point. They had already given notice of their intention to apply to Parliament for a local Act, and his advice had been to secure their position at any rate by complying with these forms, so that they might proceed, or not, with their Bill, as would appear necessary, but not to expend a single shilling beyond what was required for this purpose. It was now too late to give any further notices; but, to those towns which had already done so, his advice would be the same. The Rev. G. GIRDLESTONE remarked upon the un healthy condition of churches, schools, and other places of public assembly, from the want of ventilation. In schools particularly great injury occurred to the health and advancement of the children from this neglect. As the evil could be most effectually and inexpensively re moved, he trusted that the subject would not be omitted in the provisions of a general measure. The lion. F. BYNG called attention also to the dread- ful state of the grave-yards. Lord Mom , Erir stated his opinion that this should not be included in the general sanatory measure, but should form the subject of a separate Act. Mr. TOYNBEE expressed his anxiety, as the represen tative of another association formed of the working classes, to state his conviction of the strong feeling that existed among this body in favour of a general sanatory measure. They had presented to Parliament, last year, petitions signed by thousands, and were zealously at work in diffusing information on the subject. Sir G. GREY expressed his gratification at receiving this announcement, and the deputation withdrew. The sum of 71. 145., sent under cover to Mr Gibson Craig, one of the rds of the Treasury, has bee' duly received, and has been paid into the receipt of th Exenequer. Tn. SALT MONOPOLY IN INDIA.—On this subject, one of considerable importance to the commercial com munity, our two commercial bodies, the Chamber Commerce and the Commercial Association, have beet co-operating, by means of sub- enmmittees of their boc:ie respectively. The sub-committee of the Chamber o Commerce consists of Thomas Basely, Esq., president of the Chamber, and Messrs. Alderman Kershaw, Vincent Potter, and Jacob Owen. That of the Commercial As sociation includes James Aspinall Turner, E.g., presi dent, Mr. Malcolm Ross, vice president, and Messrs. James Atherton and John Peel. Mr. Hugh Fleming acts as secretary for the joint sub-committee, which which meets together in one of the committee rooms at the Town-hall. One of the means taken by this com mittee to bring the subject more fully under the notice of the community, was to prepare a requisition to the Mayor, requesting his worship to call a public meet ing of the manufacturers, merchants, 'bankers, and other inhabitants of the town, to take into consideration the salt-tax in India, and the injurious effects of the monopoly of the East India Company in this article. This requisition, which was headed wtth the names of Mr. Basely, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. J. A. Turner, president of the Commercial Asso ciation, was placed for signature in the Exchange, on Wednesday week, and in two days and a half received the signatures of upwards of a hundred of the most in fluential of our mercantile and manufacturing firms. On Monday last it was presented to the Mayor, who, we understand, has acceded to its request, and has ap pointed a public town's meeting to be held in the large room of the Town-hall, on Thursday next, at eleven o'clock, for the purpose stated in the requisition.—Man eheaer Examiner. RANSOM or FREDERICK DOUGLASS.—MOSt of our readers will remember this eloquent anti-slavery advo cate's visit to Newcastle, and the strong sympathy he enlisted in behalf of his injured race. It is known that, as he was a runaway slave, he could not return to the United States, unless on certainty of being captured and sent back to his former owner. This circumstance in duced a philanthropic lady in this town—a member of the Society of Friends, and long conspicuous for her services in the cause of negro emancipation—to commu nicate with the person who claimed Mr. Douglass as his property, to ascertain on what terms his freedom could be purchased. To that communication the slave holder promptly replied, stating the price to be 150/ This sum, it will delight the friends of emancipation to learn, has been forwarded to America, more than one half of it having been subscribed in this town, and Mr. Douglass's ransom papers are now being transmitted to him. In conducting this transaction, great care was taken to avoid anything like a concession of the slave holder's right of property in Mr. Douglass.—Newcastle Guardian. EXTORTIONS AND IMPOSITIONS.—We understand, with unfeigned regret, that a numerous and otherwise highly respectable body of traders are availing them selves of the present awfully agitated state of society to convert the miseries of their fellow-men into a source of illegitimate profit. We allude to the bakers of the me tropolis. It is true that within a few days past they have been terrified by the outcry raised against them and their exorbitant charges into a reduction of the price of bread, but still the reduction is by no means commensu rate with the reduced price of corn, or the necessities of the public. At present the price of wheat varies from 9s. 4d. to 9s. 6d. per 701b5., or from 11. 17s. 4d. to 1/. 18s per sack. It is reckoned that each sack, weighing 2801b5., produces 86 quartern loaves, which, at 9d. a loaf, . returns a gross sum of 545. 6d., leaving a gross profit of 16s. 6d., which, after all deductions for rent, losses, &c., puts into the baker's pocket a clear profit of at least 14s.—a very princely profit upon a ready-money and an everturning trade. If the greatest money broker in London was satisfied that the outlay of 38s. would return him an interest of 145., and that he could every hour turn the same capital with the same gain, he would deem himself a very happy and a very prosperous man. But, in an article of food most essential to our existence, and for the obtaining of which at the least possible price we have upset Cabinets, and convulsed the United King dom from one extremity to the other, such stock job bing, and such exorbitant profits, will not, cannot be tolerated.—Sunday Times. ComasioN ON THE RIVER.—On Sunday afternoon, as the Waterman steamer 11, on its way to Greenwich, had reached the Dreadnought, it attempted to pass between two large brigs, when one of them struck the steamer midships, and knocked down her funnel. Most of the passengers were in the cabin, and the steamer having partially turned on one side, so much so that the c p a a b ss in eng a er s s f , o w r who a few g m i n if e n d i t e t s h thrownat sh e w a i n s into n d k a i r n li- g ns6 , in a body t swards the dec k, but in their hurry to get e ru'sh th ed e out, choked the cabin stairs, adding to their terror. Those on deck were thrown down by the collision, and the funnel having fallen on the deck, covered them with soot and smoke. It fortunately happened, however, that the brig, by another motion, cleared the steamer, and the latter escaped without any further injury than that which the funnel and paddle-boxes sustained by the concussion. MARRIAGES AND CHRISTENINGS WITHOUT FEES.— On Sunday, in consequence of the authorities of the parish of St. John, Clerkenwell, having discovered that numbers of the poorer classes inhabiting that district were living together without regard to either of the above ceremonies, and bringing up their children in the same way, notice was given—their excuse being that they were unable to pay the fees—that on Advent and Whit Sundays christenings would be performed gra tuitously, and marriages on the first Monday in De cember and May. SOUTHAMPTON, N0v. 31A11 22.—% e Royal West India mail-packet Tweed, Captain Parsons, arrived here - on Fridap evening, and landed 35 bags of mails of. the following dates, viz.: —Jamaica, 24th Oct.; Demerara, 20th; Trsnidad, 21st; Barbadoes, 25th; Grenada, 26th; St. Thomas, 30th; and Fayal, 13th November. The Tweed brings home 33 passengers, 100 dollars, 6oz. gold dust, 618 oz. of silver, 24 tierces and 8 barrels of coffee, 87 bales of tobacco, 4 cases of cigars, 13 cases and 133 kegs of succadees, 1 tierce and 21 barrels of ginger, 3 casks of bees'-wax, and 20 small packages. The Tay will be the neat boat due at this port. The Thames, Captain Nash, is appointed to take out the er De cember. Inds and Mexican mails on the 2nd of De e The Peninsular boats will no longer, during the winter, call at Coruna. A very fine new steam-ship, the Haddington, Captain Cooper, will leave the port, Dec. 5, to take up her station between Suez and Calcutta. The Haddington is 1,500 tons, and 500-horse power, and Mugs to the Oriental Company. The Sultan, built for the same company, will leave on the 26th of December, destined to run between Ceylon and Hong -Kong.

This depresses heavy stocks a little, and they end in most cases lower. Another cause for the dulness of old stocks may be found in the disinclination of purchasers to come forward to invest money in them in the face of the many applications for new lines next session.

THE WELLINGTON STATUE AND THE ROYAL ACADEMY.—We have heard that all the Royal Acade micians whose opinion was sought by Loid Morpeth respecting the Wellington equestrian statue, were unani mous against its location on the arch, with the exception of two—those being Mr. W. M. Turner, the poetical author of the " Fallacies of Hope" (MS.), and Sir W. Ross, who is notorious for a good-natured easy acquise cence with everybody and everything. As we have from the first moment of the argument laboured for the result which is now obtained, we are glad to be relieved from further discussion of a subject on which the public had become somewhat weary and impatient. The almost unanimous press has now been reinforced by the almost unanimous Academy—and by the Institute of British Architects; and if these be n ot, as is preten d ed, St ferees on a matter of ar tistic principle and eff ect, it would be difficult to understand whatis the u n s t e or mean ing of art academies or iustitutes.—At zenceu A serious accident occurr e d,zlownay Saturda express, travelling y morning, to Westley ' s Gr eat Western ia with great rap idit y spap . s. to Ina save the early train wit h the mo rning new er n arrow part of the road ap proaching the ruila•ay, the road is broken u p for re p air, and the groun d laid out for building.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Friday afternoon a young gentleman of the name of Sharpe, one of the pupils of the Royal College of Civil Engineers, at Putney, was drowned in the River Thames under the following melancholy circumstances :—lt appears that between three and four o'clock on Friday, a party of the pupils hired an eight-oared cutter of Mes - irs. Searle, the boat-builders at Lambeth, in which fluky proceeded up the river, the deceased acting as coxswain. Wh en o il the Barnes meadows a sudden violent gust of wind from the south-west brew with such force against the boat that she capsized, and the whole party became immersed in the water. Two boats, which happened to be near, came immediately to their assistance, and succeeded is saving the whole of the party, with the exception of the deceased, who, having on two thick pilot coats, had in stantly sunk. The drags were promptly put into requi sition, but the body was net found. The deceased, who was in his twentieth year, had a brother drowned about four years ago, near the same spot, while in a sailing beat, through a squall. ------,--.—..---.....--..—___L-----7 DePartment of the Comptroller for Victualling and 8 _ Transport Services, Somerset Place, Nov. 21, I_4_.
