The indisputability of the policies granted by this Company--; The obligation to pay the sum assured, although thedebt for which the policy was taken out may have been paid before the claim arises— Whole world policies not confined to the limits of Europe— Option of half-premium payment for the first seven years— These form a combination of advantages which can be obtained only from the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Life Company. The success which has attended the system of Assurance pursued by this Company is illustrated by the fact, that at the General Court, held en the 9th day of July last, there was declared A REDUCTION OF 25 PER CENT. on the current year's premiums of all participating policies opened on or before the 9th day of February, 1841.

(FROM A COI/RESPONDENT.) A few words on the past Coventry, and forthcoming Warwick meetings, will not, I imagine, be unacceptable at the present moment. These meetings do not derive their importance, in the eyes of the racing men, from the value of the stakes which are run for at them, which are compara tively of trivial amount, but are estimated and visited be cause they afford an insight into the training atables, and " lines ( as they are technically termed) of Derby and Oaks can didates" are got from the performances of older animals in the same stable. Moreover several very superior race-horses have made their &bid at Coventry, such as Corona tion, Chitchat, Fitzroy, &e., and alterations of no mean importance in the Derby market have been caused by the return lists from these places. The late meeting at Coventry was far superior to any of its predecessors. Five races, a fine day, and a numerous com pany, satisfied everybody. The weather, indeed, reminded every one of the Houghton meeting at Newmarket, in 1845. The Craven Trial Stakes, always a race of interest, was won with great ease by Buttress, fromPantasa and four others. Pan tasa, as might be imagined,was the favourite, and had plenty of friends, who were not a little mortified at his defeat. He, I imagine, is not unlike General Pollock, a game animal, but wanting that great desideratum in a race-horse--speed. The pace at which Buttress came away, completely took the cream out of him. It is singular his late master, Mr. Mos tyn, should have so many game animals in his stud, and yet so few speedy ones. His next cross may, perhaps, prove more successful. In one way, Pantasa and Wee Pet are not unlike; that is, in any great race for which they are backed they generally run second. In the City Handicap, Lord Warwick's Roebuck, a son of gallant Vesuvius, made a sad example of the field opposed to him; among others, the celebrated Marian Ramsay. The other Handicaps which followed afforded a most splendid race, and that splendid animal, Godfrey, only secured the stake for Mr. Meiklam by the manual exertion of Tem pleman, for could the boy but have persevered with Billy Purvis, he must have won. As Godfrey gave him only 481 b., it cannot be reckoned a very bad performance. Buttress was again in an excellent place, and must not be lost sight of at Epsom. At Warwick, to-morrow, the chief source of attraction will be the Trial Stakes and the Handicap. To the former there are nine entries, and from my acquaintance with them I should select Boulogne as the winner, with Pantasa in his accustomed place. To the Warwick Handicap ten horses were set down, and, as only two have declared, it reflects credit on the handicapper. I will dispose of their preten sions in a few lines. Godfrey, Bst 71b, after his race on Wednesday, I do not like, his weight being more than he can conveniently carry. Mosque, if well, should run for ward. Subduer, I cannot fancy, will vindicate his name. Kilgram is a very moderate animal, with far too much weight on him. Roebuck, with his 51b extra should be first. Jack Sheppard's characte r i s as b a d as his namesake. Isabella and Outcast's chance is, in my opinion, a very meagre one, but, of the two, would choose the latter. In conclusion, I expect to see Roebuck first and Mosque second. In the great match for 1,000 soya., between Mr. Clifton's Nottingham, Bst 71b, and Mr. O'Brien's Needful, 6st 21b, if it should be run, I would incline to Nottingham. TELEGRAPH.

SUN, MARCH 18, 1846. THE WAR'IN INDIA. (From the Journal ks Debats.) " The war entered into in the north"of India appears to be one of the most serious yet undertaken by the British Go vernment. " The news came down to the 2d of February. Another great battle was fought on the British territory on the 21st of January, but the result' was not yet known to thp public on the departure of the steamer from Bombay, which had, nevertheless, been delayed for 48 hours, and which could only set sail with the di s p a t c h es ] o f the Governor-General. It was only known that the action commenced at half-past eight o'clock in the morning, and had been prolonged .until half past three o'clock in the afternoon. During the whole of that time a brisk cannonade had been heard at a distance, as far as Loodianah and Ferozepore. We have already pub lished an extract from a Bombay newspaper, according to which 10,000 Seikhs had made so violent an attack on the corps commanded by Sir 11. Smith, that the native troops had been routed, and two English regiments obliged• to beat a retreat ; but explanations relative to this fact are still wanting, the exactness of which is, more over, formally , disputed by the English pape rs . Th e com munications between those two cities, and especially between Ferozepore and Delhi, are most frequently intercepted, and letters reach their destination but irregularly. We are, how ever, perfectly well informed of what took place during the whole of the interval which precedes the most interesting moment—that is to say, up to the day of the second battle, exclusively. The following is a summary of the facts : " The clays of the 21st and 22d of December having left the English artillery nearly hors de combat (for want of horses and ammunition), Sir H. Hardinge and Sir H. Gough deemed it prudent not to renew the engagement by pursuing the enemy, although they had only retired - to a distance of about two leagues from their first encampment. The two armies, therefore, remained en presence for eight days, on the left bank of the Sutlej, and it was only on the 29th of De cember that the Seikhs recrossed the river of their own accord, quite leisurely, and without the least molestation. In fine, the motive of their retreat was not, as at first supposed, the dis couragement with which they had begun to be seized en be holding the reinforcements which arrived daily at the camp of the Governor-General ; it was, on the contrary, because the operation which they had hitherto masked was termi nated, and their position ameliorated. The English army concentrated at Ferozepore, and increased by the division of Meerut, became unassailable. It was even dangerous to await it, whatever might otherwise have been the advan tages of the ground, with the Sutlej in their rear. It was therefore necessary, on the one hand, to force it to divide itself, by multiplying the points of attack ; and, on the other, to establish a strong body of cavalr' on the bank of the river, in order to avoid being driven into it. With a skill which was far from being imputed to them, the chiefs of the Seikh army succeeded in attaining both these objects. Whilst their principal body held in check the English divisions en camped on the field of Ferozeshah, a detached corps of 30,000 men, with 35 pieces of artillery, made so alarming a diver sion in the direction of Loodianah, that Sir H. Hardinge was obliged to dispatch orders to the 12,000 men who came from Meerut, with the greater part of his cavalry and artillery, to advance to that side by forced marches. At the same time, a third division of the Seikh army constricted in front of their bridge of boats at Hurreekee (a bridge substantially con structed) a formidable battery, mounted with 50 pieces of heavy artillery, and capable of holding a garrison of 20,000 men. It seems that there was no knowledge of all these pre parations till towards the 15th of January, when the English engineers, sent to reconnoitre the position, reported that this tete de pont was of a nature calculated to require a regular siege ; and that the bridge itself was defended on the right bank of the river by formidable batteries which commanded it throughout its whole length and breadth. " Meanwhile the Seikh division, directed upon Phulloor, the point of the right bank of the Sutlej, immediately in front of Loodianah, had put itself in communication with the Seikhs protected by the left bank. A powerful tributary, the Raja of Lodwa, raised the standard of revolt against the English, and joined the enemy with the whole of his contingent, which may be estimated at 10,000 men, as much infantry as irregular cavalry. Himself leading his troops, he presented himself on the 4th of January before Loodianah, all the inha bitants of which place had fled, and of which the garrison, composed of two native battalions, had retired into a fortress a cannon-shot from the city, with the women and sick of the 50th European Regiment, and, moreover, with the wives of officers of the different staffs of the Commander-in-Chief and the Governor-General. For several days the most lively anxiety was felt at Delhilrespecting the fate of all these per sons, who, as at the period of the Affghanistan disasters, might fall into the hands of the enemy, and become very em barrassing hostages. Fortunately, the citadel possessed 15 pieces of heavy- artillery, and the Siekhs had no idea of be sieging it. They contented themselves with burning a por tion of the city, with all the European cantonment, the bar racks, the hospitals, the Protestant church, and the Popish Chapel ;. they then retired to a distance of half a league, into a jungle (very thickly covered with rushes and bamboos), where they commenced active preparations for fortifying themselves against General Grey, who was advancing. " The officiil details go no farther. It is, nevertheless, well known that the army of Ferozepore, having received the provisions which it expected, began to move on the 18th of January by re-ascending the Sutlej, with the view of re pulsing the Seikhs into their own territory. After some skirmishes of little importance, during the. days of the 19th and 20th, its van-guard, under the command of Sir H. Smith, arrived, it is said, on the 21st of J'anuary before the tete de pont, of which we have already , spoken. It was re joined an hour afterwards by General Grey's division from Loodianah. The battle is said to have been one of the most sanguinary on record, and to have had no other result than the expulsion of the enemy from one bank of the Sutlej to the other. " The various corps which have received orders to reinforce the army of Sir Henry Hardinge will increase its numerical force to 40,000 men, of whom 10,000 are Europeans, with 140 pieces of artillery. Such, however, is the impression produced on the mind of the Governor-General by the resist ance that he encountered on the battle-field of Ferozeshah, that, even with these means of offence, he appears resolved not to advance against Lahore till he has brought up in line, either to operate with him, •r to protect the rear, the division of Sir C. Napier in Sinde, 15,000 strong, including 4,000 Europeans. Now, the latter not having been able to commence his march from Hyderabad to the Indus until to wards the 15th or 16th ofJanuary, and having to travel ever a space of 250 miles (more than 100 leagues), could not ar rive at the point of rendezvous in less than 20 days—that is, before the sth or tith of February. At that period the heats in the Panjab become .so insupportable, that it is to be pre sumed that the Governor-General will content himself for this campaign with the capture of Lahore, and will postpone the remainder of the operations of the conquest till the sea son of 1847. It is calculated that the expenses of this war will amount to at least 10,000,0001., and that the occupation of the new territory will require an increase of 30,000 men to the Company's army. We already see an ordinance adding three regiments of native infantry of recent formation to the army of Bombay, and five regiments of irregular cavalry to that of Bengal. " The destruction of Loodianah is a very considerable ma terial loss to the English. This ancient Mussulman city, raised by the first conquerors of the house of Lodi, is the most frequented place of passage between India and the Pun jaub : a considerable trade is carried OR there, and its popu lation amounts to about 20,000 souls. Thus, although it belongs to the Raja of Djliind, one of the most powerful of the protected Seikh Princes, the Company has established a political agent there, who partly exercises the powers of a collector and a magistrate. There was also a garrison sta tioned there, composed in latter times of an European bat talion, with a battery of light artillery, and two regiments of native infantry. " What gives this city great importance in the eyes of the English is, the fact that it has become the seat of a new trade, which has been immensely extended during the last 30 years—the manufacture of the celebrated Cashmere shawls. It was introduced therein by a colony of Cashme rians, which the Company originally introduced'at its own expense, but which afterwards, being sufficiently encouraged, recruited itself annually at Cashmere. Loodianah, at the moment of its destruction, included agent 800 shawl manufactories, that is to say, more than 2,000 workmen, who are now dispersed. It had been chosen as the seat of this trade, at first, because it formed the frontiers of the Punjaub; and, secondly, on account of its proximity to the wool-market of Rampour, in Bissahir, whither the Kanaoris and the Thibetians annually bring a large quantity of " paschen," that is, the kind of wool necessary for the manufacture of the Cashmere shawls. This wool is, un fortunately of a very ordinary quality ; the Loodianah cashmeres are very common, and have never found pur chasers in Europe. As a set-off, however, to this disadvan tage, they had the monopoly of the Indian markets. The manufactures of Cashmere could not contend with those of Loodianab, the price of labour being equal in both those manufactures, and the produce of Loodianah not being saddled with the taxes levied on those of Cashmere. The East India Company was exclusively interested in this enter prise, and was the sole proprietor of all the factories. It thence derived enormous profits, which will now of course cease. This is a fresh grievance, which will furnish it with another motive for indemnifying itself by conquest." HOTEL AND TAVERN-KEEPERS' PROVIDENT INSTI- TurioN.—The seventh annual general meeting of the members and friends of the above institution was held on Monday at the London Coffee-house, Thomas Clark, Esq., late of the White Hart, Windsor, presiding. From the report it appeared that the receipts of the past year, including the previous balance, amounted to 377/. ss. ad., from which a balance of 6s. 7d. remained. There had, however, up to the present time been funded 4381. ss. 2d., making the total capital stock 4,1561.25. 4d. During the year 1301 had been received through the chairman and his friends. The officers for the ensuing year (chidlY those of the past) having been elected, thanks were awarded to the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, to John Masterman, .Esq., 31. P., &c., for their valuable aid, and also to Messrs. Lovegrove, for the gratuitous use of their rooms, to Mr. Tapater, the honorery secretary-, and id the chairman of the day, and the meeting broke up. MARGATE ' MONDAY.—This day, about one o'clock, during a strong gale from the west, the brig Richard, from Liverpool to London, of 267 tons, went ashore on the Tongue Sand. Too much ptaite cannot be given to the crews of the le st liovelling dashing boabelonging a to this port the Mary, in most gallant y,h ll terrific sea, and returning to the shore with the captain and all the crew. The brig is now under water, a total wreck. Should the weather moderate, the cargo may be saved. The brig is loaded with wine, oil, acids, and materials for an atmospheric railway, con s i gne d to Mr. Lucas, Griffin-wharf, London. Two skeletons were lately found at Cross, near Axtridge, on the premises' of Mr. - Wade, surgeon, of that place, a bout threa feet below the surface of the ground , by wor kmen who Were digging the foundation for a wall. The orchard in which they were fOiind belonged many years to the White Hart Imi. One of the skeletons 14'20 teenstdered to be that of a female, about middle age ; the other that of 11 Male advanced in years.

On their return to the inquest-reom a great many witnesses were examined, but as it was found impossible to close the case satisfactorily in one sitting, an adjournment tcok place at a late hour till yesterday. Mr. Rush, surveyor of the Globe Insurance company, and 11ir. Musson, of the Sun Office, were present during the inquir.-Y, both these offices being concerned in the loss. The total amount of insuranCe e o ffected on the property is stated to amount to between 2,000/. and 3,001. Mr. Dempster, the ballad singer, who has been sing ing to crowded houses in Boston and Providence, has recently set to music the popular song of the " May Queen," by Tennyson, which is spoken of in the highest terms by the Eastern press.

The first half-yearly general meeting of the preprietors of this undertaking was held yesterday at one o'clock a' the London Tavern, in conformity with article 2U of the statutes, for the transaction of the ordinary business of the Company; Andrew Spottiswoode, Esq., President, in the chair. A considerable number of shareholders were present. The Secretary, J. CRAY, Esq., having read the advertisement con vening the meeting, The Cu/seaman Gentlemen, the directors have much pleasure in meeting you, for the first time, in a body in accordance with the provisions of the statute constituting this Company. They meet you with a great deal of pleasure, because they think they are in a position to lay before you the details of an extremely valuable undertaking, and to satisfactorily explain why it stands in a more fa vourable position before the public than most tuidertaktngs of this kind. Although this Company was only suggested in March, 1845, just twelve months ago, it has progressed with great rapidity, and occu pies a high position, because it was not founded for the mere pur pose of attracting shareholders, in order to collect capital together, to encourage some unknown and impracticable scheme, but it was founded, on careful examination of the country through which it was designed the line should pass, by the late eminent Belgian engineer, Colonel de Puydt. He carefully in vestigated the whole subject, and ascertained that the country through which he proposed to carry it was well calculated for a rail way, and that it would afford a profit to those who took shares in it. This gentleman obtained the permission of a concession from the Belgian Government for ninety years. However, he did not live to avail himself of it, and at his death it was made over to his representatives, front whom the right which he obtained was pur chased. It was at first thought that a private company should be formed to carry it out, and it was then settled that the conces sionaires, who stood in the shoes of Colonel de Puydt, should take a fifth part of the capital, which they bound themselves to do, whether the remaining portion was raised or not. But a few parties raised the rest. However, many difficulties arose, and at length it was not found either desirable or possible to carry it out whilst in the hands of a private company. Mr. Rennie, whose abilities as an engineer are well known, to everybody in this country, was 'appointed the engineer of the Company, and directed to survey the country in order that he might report to the directors whether in his opinion such a scheme was practicable, and if practicable, desirable, and likely to re munerate the shareholders ; and his report was so favourable, that those who promoted the undertaking at once formed a public company for its construction, with a capital of 1,000,000/. in 50,000 shares of 207. each. The agreement entered into with the concessionaires was this- -that they should take one-fifth part of the capital, andlhat the directors should take 1,000 shares each on the same terms. What ever was the result of the rest of the shares, they were to take up, at least, this portion of the capital. It was then settled that, as the scheme was a Belgian one, 8,000 shares should be allotted to influential parties in that city, and that the remaining half of the capital of the Company should be offered to per sons in England. These shares were taken up with—(l was about to say greediness) —with great alacrity. That was our position at the outset of the undertaking. The portion of the shares having been fixed, the only matter that required to be settled was the way in which the profits should be divided. It was settled by agreement with the concessionaires that the first five per cent. profit should be divided among the shareholders ; that they , should then receive one per cent. against any con tingencies ; it was agreed, on all hands, that one-half of the profits should go to the shareholders, and the other half to the concessionaires and their assignees. However a deputation of the directors visited Brussels in May, in order to make certain represen tations to the concessionaires with respect to this agreement on behalf of the shareholders. After laying the matter before them they conceded every important point to the shareholders, namely, that instead of dividing 51. per cent. among the shareholders in the first instance, that 6/. per cent. should be divided. They behaved in the most handsome manner, and showed by this concession their high opinion of the project and their desire that the shareholders should receive 1/. more per cent. than was originally intended. The directors, in visiting Brussels in May last, had another object in view than the one I have stated, namely, to watch the progress of the Bill through the Chambers, as more difficulties and finesse had to be en countered and overcome. But nothing of a serious nature occurred, and after a good deal of delay and discussion the Bill was passed. But as many forms had to be gone through after it received the sanction of the Chambers, the signature of the King was not attached to it until the 20th of August. On the following day it was gazetted as a final measure ; and ever since that time still ffirther delays in the discussion of the plans have taken place. The Ministers of every Government office happened, in this case, to have different opinions with respect to these plans, so that more time has been lost than we at first anticipated. The directors hoped, when in Brussels in May last, that they I should have had a portion of the line opened by this time, but where the opinions of large bodies must be had, it is found difficult to get them to move as fast as we could wish. However, Gentlemen, we are at last at work, and we are in such hands, and their works are in such a forward state, as to lead us confidently to hope that we shall be enabled in August next to open nine miles of the best portion of the line. We have had one change in the direction caused by the resignation of Mr. Coltman, who found it impossible, on account of his numerous engagements, to attend properly to the duties of a director in this Company, and we have filled up the vacancy by electing a gentleman well acquainted with Belgium and the most influential parties in it, Mr. Alex. Greig. There is one item in the report which will, perhaps, surprise some of you, that we have effected a loan of 16,0001. This did not arise from any want of means, as we knew perfectly well, if we had sought more money from the shareholders, that we should have received it ; but we thought, by obtaining that sum in the shape of a loan, that it would save the inconvenience and loss of time necessary to make up a capital of five millions of francs, which we were compelled to deposit with the Belgian Government. We could effect a loan sooner than a call, and we, therefore, borrowed this suns at 41. per cent., and invested it at 43 per cent. interest, so that we have not done much harm ; in fact we have realised a profit on the transaction rather than lost by it. There would have been no difficulty in obtaining the amount front the shareholders, because we have 9,000 or:3,000 shares which we might have forfeited, and thus realised a considerable amount if we had thought proper; but we have not done so, because we believe they have rot been taken through accident, in which opinion we are confirmed bygentlemen who have arrived from abroad,stating that they were ignorant of the fact that shares in the Company had been allotted to them, some of whom, on paying 5/. percent., have been allowed to take them up. Those who have not yet paid in their shares will no doubt soontlo so. 18,0007. out of the 16,000/., to whiehl have referred, is deposited in the Belgian funds. I thought I would explain to you the affairs of this undertaking in the way I have done, be cause I imagined I could do so more familiarly than through an official report. which, however, contains a statement of our proceed• ings, and a great deal of information which you are no doubt desirous to know. I shall therefore call on the secretary - to read it. The Secarraste then read the report, which simply described the course of the line and the produce of the various districts which it is designed to benefit. The concluding paragraphs stated that the directors could not refrain from congratulating the shareholders on their possession, for a term of ninety years, of a railway which not only runs through some of the richest portion of country on the con tinent, but which forms a line in the extensive chain of communication between England, France, and the centre of Europe, as well as on the sure prospect of seeing it in active operation within a few months, while, in the meantime. they enjoy a safe investment for their capital, with interest at 4 per cent., per annum. They, therefore, confidently relied upon the proprietors for support in carrying on a project which they believe has no superior on the Continent, and in the management of which they have en deavoured, to the best of their ability, to discharge all the duties in cuinbent upon them with prudence, discretion, and determination. The accounts showed that 81,876/. 18s. 2d. had been deposited as " caution money" with the Belgian Government, 127,6831. Gs. 10d. In the Belgian funds, and that there was a balance at the bankers of 218,937/. 2s. ' Atter a short discussion the report was adopted, and ordered to be printed and circulated amongst the shareholders. The election of Mr. Greig having been confirmed, ands vote of thanks passed to the Chairman and directors, Which was suitably acknowleged by the Chairman, the meeting separated.

RAPID APPROACHES OF FAMINE.—IMPORTANT MEETING IN FERMOY. A meeting of the landed proprietors, gentry, and inha bitants generally of Fermoy and the surrounding districts, was held on Wednesday last in the Court-house, Fermoy, for the purpose of adopting some measure in co-operation with the Government for the relief of the labouring population. At one o'clock the chaix was taken by Edmond Burke Roche, Esci , M.P. - Letters from several noblemen connected with the county by property and residence were read. Mr. splay, Ballyroberts, said he had no hesitation in saying that in the parish of Castlelyons they would not have a potato by the Ist of May. He had seen some of the people in that district making use of food that was unfit for Chris tians. The SECRETARY said that Mr. Quinlan, Guardian for the district of Mitchelstown, containing about 10,000 inhaliitants, had sent in a report, and it appeared from it the farmers in that part of the country did not possess as much potatoes as would be sufficient for their families for the next six weeks— some would not have enough for the next fortnight, and they were sending their oats to a neighbouring mill to supply their immediate wants. The report added, that unless timely relief were given to the labouring classes tLe consenuences must be lamentable. There were not less than 1,000 people in distress at Mitchelstown. Mr. Thornhill had a list of the labourers in the town of Kildorrery, showing the quantity of potatoes they had at present-360 persona had not 70 bar rels of potatoes • 38 families in the villege had not a si ng l e potato ; and all t hese were persons who had gardens, and had the prospect of having as much food as would support them selves and their families. He should state that there were ten persons admitted into the workhouse that day from the electoral division of Glanworth in fever. Tai POTATO.—Hourly are our prospects becoming more alarming; the panic has now penetrated to places which were hitherto considered safe; it was thought that this part of Tipperary was in a much better condition than most other counties. But the blight has made frightful ravages, and the fears of the people are roused to the highest pitch. The prices of potatoes at present are so enormously high that the poor are unable to purchase them. In God's name let some thing be done:to avert starvation.—Ti rang Vindicator. AWFUL ACDIDENT.—W e regret t o learn t hat a very awful accident occurred on Wednesday, at New Inn, in this county, under the following circumstances, by which the lives of three men were sacrificed :—lt appears that one of these men proceeded to light a lime kiln, but, not being a regular lime , burner, he did not perfectly understand how to proceed to work with effect. He filled the kiln to about five feet with stones and placed fires under them, but he could not satis factorily produce the necessary heat, and in order to stir up the fire he got a ladder and descended into the kiln—a great volume of smoke arose, and instantaneous suffocation was the result. A second and third man followed in like manner, and with the same disastrous consequences. The bodies were got out by breaking down the front wall of the kiln. Au inquest was held on the bodies, when a ver dict according to the circumstances was returned.— Tipperary Vindicator. AN AWFUL CXECUMSTANCE.-011 Tuesday night last, a man named Daniel Berachee, wh o res id es in - a mountain dis trict near Newport, called the Copper Mines, retired to bad at an early hour, which was his usual custom, and was fol lowed by his wife, and a young man named W a l s h, a servant of his, who lay with him on each side. In the morning an alarm was given by the wife, who says she saw fo ur men quitting the house as she awoke, and found her husband's skull fractured, and the mark of a wound over one of his eyes. The outrage upon this man is at present involved in much mystery. lie was rather advanced in years, and his wife is young and well looking. The window of the room was fastened inside by a boy, a son of Berachee, with a hatchet, and on examination the next morning the hatchet was found in the house, with blood and hair upon it. The unfortunate man still lives, but there is no hope entertained of his recovery.—Nenagh Guardian.—r Berachee's wife and servant boy have been arrested under very suspicious cir cumstances, as they, though in the house, deny having seen or heard the occurrence. It is feared there is not the slightest chance of his recovery.] NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. SHEERNESS, Banc!! 16.—1 t having been notified that the Earl of Ellenborough, the First Lord of the Admiralty, would pay his first visit of inspection to this dockyard on Saturday, all the authorities, from an early hour, were on the qui vine for his arrival. It was not, however, till nearly six o'clock in the evening that the Admiralty yacht, the Black Eagle, with his Lordship and colleagues on board, made her appear ance, and it was half-past six ere she dropped anchor in the harbour. She had the Admiralty flag at the mainmast head, which was received with manned yards and the naval salute from the flag-ship. Vice-Admiral Sir E. D. King, K.C.H., the Commander-in-Chief, immediately proceeded to pay his respects on board, followed by Captain Richard Arthur, C. 8., superintendent of the dockyard; Captain W. H.

They were shortly afterwards joined by the heads of depart ments, Major Patience, commanding the 65th depot; Captain Alexander, R.E., Superintendent of Fortifications ; and Captain Mould, R.E., Director of Works of the dockyards, who were also specially invited to dine with his Lordship.

DISFIGUREMENT OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY.—The unsightly disfigurement at the east end still remains, and nu merous other long pipes have sprouted up in various parts of the building. The continuance of the abominable deformity to which we have already more specially alluded, will im peach the taste and good feeling of every architect academi cian.—The Builder. i MR FOOT RACE.—On Monday the running match between Stevens, of Holloway, and Castles, of London, came off in the North road, Islington. The men were matched for la a side, to run over One mile of road. Stevens rattled away at a good lead, his opponent lying close up.. At half mile the men were running abreast of each other, and continued at a splitting pace, and when within 200 yards of the goal both struggled hard for victory, and Castles with a stre nuous effort succeeded in running in the winner by one yard, hav ing accomplished the one mile Of road in five minutes and fourteen seconds. SUICIDE BY A YOUNG WOMAN.—On Sunday evening an act of self-destruction was committed by Elizabeth Vokihs, a young woman in the service of Mr. Class, a gentleman residing at No. 2, Grove-place, Camberwell. It appears that at six o'clock the family left home to go to church, leaving the deceased alone to take care of the place, and having stopped with a friend after leaving church, they did not return until eleven o'clock. They knocked loudlylfor admittance, but did not receive any answer, and an entrance was ultimately obtained by forcing one of the windows, when the deceased was found hanging in the back kitchen quite dead ' and cold.

THE HOUSEHOLD TROOPS.—The following letter in refer ence to the irregularities in the enlistment of soldiers serving in this corps, some account of which appeared in our columns yesterday, has been read to the battahons in parade order, at the St. James's Park and other barracks : " War-office, March, 1846. " Sir—l am directed to acquaint you that in every case in which you may ascertain that the attestation of a soldier was irregular, you are hereby authorised to assure the soldier that upon his consenting to be now regularly enlisted and attested, but without bounty, he will be permitted to reckon all his former service in precisely the same manner as if the original attestation had been in all respects regular. " The soldier must, of course, receive the enlisting shilling formally. " You will record this upon his new attestation, and also upon his record of service, reference being made to the number and date, &c., of this letter. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient servant, " L. SULIVAN." The publication of the above letter will, no doubt, have the effect of quieting the fears of several in the line, to which the panic has as well extended. It is but justice to the milittuy authorities to state that they have done all in their power to meet the wishes of the men. The new military prison, at the rear of Charing-cross Barracks, is approaching to completion, and may be ready for the purpose for which it is intended in about two months. -------- REGIMENTAL LIBRARIES, ROYAL HORSE GUARDS (BLUE). —We are happy to state that the regimental order lately issued respecting the formation of a regimental . tal by the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) has been carried out, the library having been opened, and !idly completed.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.-011 Monday morning, shortly after eleven o'clock, as an old gentleman named Bassett, residing in Wellington•street, Southwark, was crossing the Southwark-bridge road, Illackinan-street, towards the Grapes publie-house, he was seized with au apoplectic fit, and fell down ; at the same time a heavy cart, belonging to Mr. Benjamin Abel Bone, contractor, of the Southwark -bridge-road, was entering the lattersoad, and before the carman could pull the horse up, the off-wheel passed over the old gentleman's chest. He was immediately conveyed to Guy's Hos pital, when it was ascertained that he had received such severe in juries that very little hope is entertained of his recovery.
