THE UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. 31 to 50 per Cent. Saved To be had at the Patentees, GO, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross. The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, rho advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period; and such is its purity, that It neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction of gas in dwellitT e ir ie u s s , e g s, ol t d o ni th . e u r n p n e i r expense fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies , these are entirely obviated by the " PATENT UNIVERSAL Gls Is adapted for private d we lli ngs, as well as for BURNER." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower th an i s com monly supposed, it club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. Ono of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-si ze d roo m , at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the " Burner, " Its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th day, 1846, Sir JOHN BENNIE, President, in the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream •f air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was heated, and passed out by two series of fire -holes around the periphery, and Lnpinging with force en the flame o e gas f th curved t out In the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen if the air, m i ngling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produ ced a very p,!rf2ct combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights hy the photometer, the new burner gave a better ght, with a saving of rather more than one-third."

TO THE EDITOR OF DUE SUN. • Sllti—The general sympathy excited by the ex i st i ng popular distress will probably lead to the adoption of measures for permanently improving the condition of the labouring portion of the community ; at such a moment you will perhaps allow me to call attention to certain industrial establishments, founded a quarter of a century ago, in calamitous times, by our neighbours the Dutch. Attempts are, apparently, about to be made on a small scale to introduce somewhat similar associations into this country ; one of these, a " Self supporting Village Society," connected with the Church of England, purposes to found a village in the centre of not less than 1,000 acres of land, which shall accommodate 300 families, wh-rsz the inhabitants may be enabled, " by the produce of their own labour, not only to support them selves, but also to defray the expenses of the establish ment. Each person, besides ba:ng more or lesi engaged in agriculture, will also be employed in that kind of work for which he is best suited." We know that com plete success has followed various well-directed ex periments in communism in different parts of the world. With reference, for example, to the Moravians, Breuttel, the principal director of the colony of Hern hutt, asserts that with regard to "the commercial con• cerns of the settlements in his experience of twenty-five years, 'he never knew one to fail." But perhaps the most apposite illustration of the bentfits to be derived from self-supporting institutions is to be seen in Ho'. land. The following account is taken from a " Sketch of German and Dutch Husbandry," published in the .Journal of Agriculture, No. 11., New Series:— " The colonies of Fredericksoord and Willemsoord were established when, after two years of great scarcity, a large proportion of the population was reduced to ab solute destitution. A society was, therefore, formed by a few benevolent individuals, the object of which was to give employment to men in this deplorable condition. In carrying out their purpose they conferred not only an immediate and lasting benefit on the individuals in,ques don, but effected great national advantages—first, by stemming the spread of vice, and, in the second place, by increasing the national resources in converting to arable land a waste on which even a sprig of heather was scarcely to be met with. Such was the origin of these colonies twenty-four years ago, and no one can travel the road along which they are situated without noticing the great change that has been effected on the face of the country by their establishment. From a wild, barren country we enter at once a little oasis, which bears every mark of prosperity—neat cottages, crops as luxuriant as if nurtured by a better soil, and gardens stocked with useful vegetables, and adorned with a variety of flowers. The quantity of land attached to each house is about seven acres. The colonists are all supplied with implements on entering on their plot, besides a COW and a pig. There is a regular debtor and creditor account kept ; everything they receive on entering is marked down against them, and whenever they are enabled to pay otetheir debts from economy of living, they are allowed to rent their plots. Attached to the colonies are schools for the gratuitous education of the children, and worshops in which they are taug ht , some use'ul trade. I passed one of these shops, in which there were from thirty to 'forty looms worked by the children, and adjoining it was another room, where some were engaged in spinning, mending shoes, and other occupations. I was attracted to the place by the busy clatter of the shuttles and the sounds of music ; and on coming up to it, found the children engaged at their respective occupations cheering on one another in their work by a song. What health, what happiness shone in these pauper children's faces! Their looks were a sufficient proof of the benefits derived trom such an institution. How strikingly does, a sketch like this contrast with Crabbe's picture of the interior of an English parish poor-house!" We spend upwards of seven millions of money annu ally for the mere purpose of keeping the poor alive ; since the conclusion of the war, in 1815, no less a sum has been levied upon the rate-payers than 200,000,000/. 1 There are thirty millioss of acres of waste land in Great Britain and Ireland, of which fifteen millions are considered as reclaimable. The value set upon the pos session of ground by the poor may be estimated from 'the fact that, according to Mr. H. B. Sheridan, the labouring man in Dorsetshire actually gives as high a rate as 91. per acre for a small plot ; and it has been stated on good authority that recently reclaimed land in Lancashire and Sussex has yielded a produce, under spade cultivation, that has realised 40/., and even 501., per acre. With what apparent facility, then, might the waste places of the land be made contributory to the in crease of the wealth of the nation, and, at the same time, ministrant to the comfort and happiness of the destitute ! What we seem to need is the intervention of some master-spirit, whr.", out of the elements of good which we suffer to lie around us unimproved, untouched, shall educe a new order of things, and confer upon the nation what Wordsworth calls the " English dower of inward happiness." Before the end of the present cen tury the pop u l a ti on o f t h e emp i re w ill h ave d ou bl e .d itself ; will En g l an d i n t h at d ay b e a f ounta i n o f health and fertility, or will it b e " a f en o f s t aggan t wa t ers ," fill ng the atmosphere with baneful influences, and gene rating misery and death ?

A meeting of the Directors of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures was held on Wednes day, when the following memorial for the opening of the ports was unanimoualy agreed to, and dispatched to Lord John Russell:— "TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY. "The Memorial of the Dire.etors of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Manchester " Showeth,—That;.your memorialists feel deep appre hensions at the prospects which threaten this district. Whilst the prices of raw materials have been advancintr, the profits of trade have been diminishing, and important branches of our manufactures are now prosecuted under heavy losses. The depressing policy of our own country up to the last session of Parliament had long tended to fritter away our intercourse with several of our best cus tomers, and the short interval which has elapsed since the change has not yet permitted us to resume the con nexions which we mice enjoyed; the price of food at home almost pneltuhs hope that our people will have the means of purchasing clothing; stocks of manufac• tures are accumulating, and there are strong grounds for fearing that before winter shall have passed the demand for labour will be greatly lessened. Your memorialists feehhat any reYerence by them to your Lordships re specting the present and expected stock of food on which the labourer has to rely until fresh crops be available, is not necessary; they content themselves with stating, shortly, that at the present moment, besides a great en hancement in the prices of meat and bacon in this town, bread has been advanced fully one• third, whilst oatmeal is selling at twofold, and potatoes at threefold their usual price, and that they look forward with dread to the con dition in which the people will inevitably be found in the spring of next year. " That deeply grateful for the measures of relitf passed in the last session of Parliament, your memo rialists hoped to pass th#ough period of transition, and on the terms which IheMegislatnre decreed, not only without despondency, but with a sustaining confi dence. The dispensations of Divine Providence have, however, interposed, and, in the opinion of your memo rialists, have thrown upon the Government further awful responsibilities. Extreme scarcity of food is inevitable ; if labour fail, that scarcity will become famine. Prayers are directed to be offered up in our churches to have those evils averted, and yet one of our laws enacts, that whatever may be the price of wheat, the smallest duty to be paid upon the import of it shall be 4s. per quarter; another law decrees that food brought into the country by certain vessels shall not be eaten at all by our people; whilst a third declares that nothing shall be used in our distilleries but that which would serve as food. Your memorialists implore your Lordships to take instant steps to remove these conflicting and cruel anomalies in such manner as the wisdom of your Lordships may sug gest. They believe that, to mitigate impending cala mities, nothing less will be sufficient than to admit into our ports every species of food necessary for daily sub sistence free of duty ; to permit it to be brought indis criminately from every country by the vessels of any nation or flag ; and to allow in our distilleries and breweries the use of sugar and molasses, without refer ence to the vessels which have already brought or may hereafter bring them to us. To this extent they humbly pray the immediate interference of your Lordships, believing that such a course will bo approved by Par liament, and applauded by the nation.—And, as in duty bound," &c. A meeting of the corporation of Manchester is about also to be held, for the purpose of memorialising the Lords of the Treasury for tha immediate opening of the ports. THE SPANISH DEBT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sirs,—l v beg to express my sincere thanks for your ready insertion of my communication on the above sub ject, in the columns of your valuable journal. If any confirmation were needed of the fact therein stated, that the greater portion of the Active Bonds were now in the hands of foreigners, I might refer to the City ar ticle of the Morning Post of yesterday, in which we are exultingly informed of the exertions which are being made on the Continent by the (self-constituted) com mittee of Spanish bondholders, and of the coalition it has formed with the Spanish (Active) bondholders in every capital in Europe. The majority of the British creditors would be better pleased if it were to attend a little more to their interests and somewhat less to those of their continental coadjutors ; but when they recollect that that committee principally represents the interests of a few wealthy Active bondholders, some of whom realised large sums by their successful efforts to produce the great and sudden fall in the value of Spanish stocks ten years ago, which was so ruinous to the British cre ditors, they will not be surprised that the parties in question should now restrict their efforts to the obtaining a further funding of the overdue Coupons of the Active Stork, in which only themselves and their continental connexions are, at the present time, much interested, keeping the just claims of the numorous holders of Passive Stock in the back-ground, and merely holding out to them the prospect of a possible trifling addition to the va'ue of their bonds, which a further payment of interest to themselves may occasion. I trust, however, that the exertions of the' Passive bondholders, aided by the independent press of the me tropolis, may frustrate the scheme, and secure to the general body of the British creditors of Spain—the real sufferers by the Spanish loans—the benefit of any future arrangement of the debt. I am, Sir, your obliged servant, AN ACTIVE AND PASSIVE BONDHOLDER. City, Oct. 13, 1846. WEIMILL Hor AND CHEESE FAIR.—In the Farn ham-row there were the extraordinary number of 4,207 pockets, and in the Hampshire country-row 4,522 ditto. On Monday but few were sold. By five o'clock yester day there were not more than 600 to 700 pockets sold in the Farnham-row, and less than 500 in the country ditto. Farnhams made from 71. to 71. 15s. We beard of two or three choice samples making 81., but the general price may be quoted at 71., and below that price the growers must come if they intend selling. In the country-row the prices were considerably lower, according to where they grew. Some sold at 5/. 103., while others made 20s. per cwt. more ; the prices may, therefore, be fairly put at from Si. up to 61. 10s., and from the few yet sold and the many remaining to sell, lower prices must be sub mitted to. There was a less quantity of cheese pitched here yesterday than has been known for 27 years past, the whole not amounting to 200 tons. The prices were as follows, being from ss. to 6s. per cwt. under the prices made at Reading fair :—Best old Chedder from 70s. to 755. per cwt. ; Somerset, 68s. to 70s. ; double Gloucester, 60s. to 655. ; single ditto, 545.t0 58s. ; Wilts and Dorsets, 58s. to 633. ; second ditto, 50s. to 545. ; skim ditto, 30s. to 365. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERIES AT NINEVEIL — Mr Layard, an English gentleman, has for the last twelve month been pursuing the track—first laid open by M. Botta—at Nimroud, near Mosul, on the Tigris. His excavations have not only settled the precise position of N i neveh—the very existence of which had become little better than a vague historic dream—but have brought to light some of its buildings, sculptures, and inscriptions. According to accounts received at Constantinople some months since, and .communicated in the Athenaum of Saturday last, Mr. Layard hail discovered an entrance formed by two magnificent winged, human-handed lions. This entrance led him into a hall above 150 feet long and 30 broad, entirely built of slabs of marble, covered with sculptures. The side walls are ornamented with small bas•eeliefs, of the highest interest—battle sieges, lion hunts, &c.; many of them in the finest state of preser vation, and all executed with extraordinary spirit. They afford a complete history of the military art amongst the Assyrians ; and prove their intimate knowledge of many of those machines of war whose invention is attributed to the Greeks and Romans—such as the ba' tering-ram, the tower moving on wheels, the cata pult, &c. Nothing can exceed the beauty and elegance of the forms of various arms, swords, daggers, bows, spears, &c. In this great hall there are several en trances—each formed by winged -lions or winged bulls. These lead into other chambers, which, again, branch off into a hundred ramifications. Every chamber is built of slabs covered with sculptures or inscriptions, whence some idea may be formed of the number of ob jects discovered —the far greater part of which, in fact nearly all, are in the best preservation. Mr. Layard's excavations have been hitherto confined to a very small corner of the mound, under which these antiquities have it for ages been buried ; is impossible to say what may come out when they can be carried forward on an ade quate scale. A DAMPER TO ELOQUENCE. — Amusing scenes occur occasionally in grave assemblies. During the late session of the New Hampshire . Legislature a newly fledged orator rose to make his maiden speech in the House of Reprosentatives. A Bill had been brought in to tax bank dividends , and, watchin g his opportunity , the d.ebutant addressed t he Members Mr.. Speaker, the gentleman from Dover who introduced this Bill does not seem to be aware of its inevitable results. He would strip the widow." (Roars of lau g ht er , an d c r ie s of th s" public The widow,al who hop ?" e "is hat wid ow ?" " N o t i n &c.) As soon as the tumult had subsided in some degree, and the orator could make himself heard, he indignantly proceeded :—" Gentlemen need not think to put me . down by clam our . I s th ere no sympathy here for the widow and the or ph an ? I sa y, Sir, this is worse than stripplog. Put on this tax, and I , say you drive the widow to her last shift." here the clamour became so great that the speaker, despairing of a hearing, resumed his seat. It was almost ten minutes before the House coul d transact i ts regular business.— , !Nees York Paper. • SWANSEA AND MUMBLES OYSTER FISHERY The commencement of the oyster fishery, in Swansea bay, has been more successful this year than known for many seasons, and notwithstanding the large number almost daily caught, such is the demand for these oysters , and other large Swansea m quay for one a t ot xLiverpool, that theyM a n r c e h a e d s i t l e y r , Bsell m o i n n gha shilling and sixpence per long hundred. This is a great blessing to the hard-working poor engaged in these fi-heries (some of whom have lately been getting as much as 2/. per week) at a period when provisions are so dear.— Welshman. THE PROBABLE SUPPLY OF FOREIGN GRAIN THIS YEAR. The total number of corn-laden ships now on their way from the Mediterranean and the Black Sea to this country, is between sixty and seventy, and allowing that each of them brings 1,000 quarters of grain (which is above the truth),: this gives 60,000 or 70,000 q uarters of grain, of all descriptions, on its way from all ports within the straits of Gibraltar. About as much more is supposed to remain in those ports, making a total of 150,000 quarters of Indian corn, which may pos • sib!) , be obtained from the Mediterranean and the Black Sea together before winter. The American ports may, peril ips, supply us wi:h as much from the remains of last year's crops. In the spring a good deal more IMIV be expected from the crop of the present year, but it will be nearer six months than six weeks before it arrives. The accounts from Odessa, which are to Sept. 7, state tles.t ti-3 scarcity of vessels which had existed in that port during the whole of the summer continued, and that the freight of graLt to England was its. sd. per quarter for wheat or Indian corn. They further k taie that the whole stock of Indian corn in that port was 7,000 quarters. o! which the greater part was of inferior quality ; and that it was not likely to be much increased for some time, as this year's crop of the grain in ,Bessarabia was so poor as to make it doubtful whether any more c:nild be spared for exportation. The quotations of second qualities of Indian corn were 17s. to .17s. 9d., and of the best 193. to 20s. per quarter ; and those of wheat 30s. 6d. to 31s. per quarter fur Polish Odessa. Accounts from Trieste, of the sth instant, state that the quantity of Indian corn _shipped to England during the preceding fortnight, amounted to 20,000 quarters, and that the total stock of grain in the port consisted of 32,857 quarters of Indian corn, and of 12,857 quarters of wheat. The price of Indian corn was from 225. Id. to 245. 9J. per quarter, according to quality. Letters from Ancona of the 2d instant state, that the crop of Indian • corn in that neighboarhood had been nearly destroyed, first by the long drought, and after wards by heavy floods. The price was 21s. to 245. per quarter, and the freight 7s. to Bs. to England. Letters from Genoa, Leghorn, and Marseilles, of about the S£lllls date, say that good Indian corn could not be bought in these ports so as to he laid down in England for less than 365. a quarter, for cost and freight alone. At Venice the price of the best Indian corn was 245. 6d., at the last advices. Combining all these facts, it is evident that our sup plies of Indian corn from the Mediterranean and the Black Sea will this year be small, unless English im porters are willing to give prices which will make it a dearer grain than wheat. The great hope, under these circumstances, is in the arrivals - from the United States; but even from that country we shall receive no large quantity of Indian corn until after Christmas. The largest importation of Indian corn ever known from the United States took place in 1811, when the quantity reached 348,850 quarters, under the stimulus of a foreign demand for grain and flour, which raised the price of wheat to 645. per quarter in the United States, during the whole of that year. Since that time it has fallen off to 50,000 or 100,000 quarters, at which amount it has continued for twenty years. Even last year, when the demand for Eiigland was great, it did not exceed 200,000 quarters. It is possible that the importations this year may be five times as great as those of last, or a million quarters, but we can scarcely believe that they will reach more than that point. The fact is, that there are few things more difficult than to increase the quantity of grain grown in a country, in a short time. Little can be done with machinery, and in some stages of the operation just as little with horse labour. In the report of the judges of the Liverpool Agricultural Society, published only last week, it was stated that much grain was lost in this thickly-peopled county from shedding, owing to the want of labourers ; and if this be the case in Lancashire how much more must it be so in the back States of America ? The quantity of grain raised de pends much more on the quantity of hands than the number of acres in a country, and therefore it is that we do not expect that great increase of grain from the United States which" some persons hope for, until the recent rise in prices has diverted more labour from the comparatively unprofitable cultivation of cotton and tobacco to that of Indian corn and wheat. This change is in progress, but it will be some time before it will en able the United States alone to supply the deficiencies of Europe.—Liverpool Times. INCENDIARY EXPLOSION AT THE CASTLE MILLS, SHEFFIELD. Another of those diabolical attempts at the destruc tion of property by explosive substances, for which the town of Sheffield .has obtained a somewhat unenviable notoriety, was made on Saturday evening last. The facts are th-se : The Castle Mills, situate on the banks of the Don, were erected, about seven or eight years ago, by Messrs. Marshall, Brothers, for a grinding wheel, at an expense of from 1.5,000/. to 20,0001.; and had become a prin cipal resort for parties who choose to carry on their business unconnected with the " unions," into which the vast majority of the workmen of Sheffeld have enrolled themselves. On Saturday evening last the works were stopped about twenty minutes before seven o'clock, soon after which time the premises were entirely cleared, and a watchman took charge of the building for the night. No circumstances of a suspicious nature wira observed, but about half past eleven o'clock a most terrific explosion shook the building to its very centre. Mr. Marshall, jun., being near the spot, went to the premises, and on examination discovered that the cylinder belonging to one of the steam engines had been blown to atoms by gunpowder, and the shattered fragments were strewed in ali directions, in addition to which the massive beam was broken into three pieces. The top of the steam chest was blown off, the piston considerably bent, and nearly every portion of the engine more or less in jured. Upon further examination it was found that the watchman, William Ibbotson, who ought to have been in the most central part of the building, was in a remote quarter, where no danger from an explosion of the en gine could harm him. His conduct in other respects ex citing suspicion he was given into custody. On Monday morning he was taken before the ma nager, and after a short examination was remanded until Thursday next. The injury done to the engine and premises is estimated at not less than from 1,0001. to 1,2001. WESTMINSTER LITERARY INSTITUTION.—Mr. Hen derson concluded a course of lectures on "London" last evening at the above institution, in which the subject was treated with great talent. The statistical and his torical matter, together with the necessary chronological detail, required much ingenuity to introduce without dryness ; the lecturer, however, continued to amuse the mere pleasure-seeker, while he afforded ample informa tion to the seeker after knowledge. There is a singular originality of style about Mr. Henderson, which sur prises by its peculiarity, while it gratifies by its vivacity, and instructs by its soundness. His anecdotes are ex tremely apposite, most effectively given, and serve to re lieve the heavier portions of the subject. The audience was highly delight.d, and expressed its gratification by loud and repeated plaudits. The pictorial illustrations by Mr. Shalders, were the theme of universal admiration, FATAL FILIAL AFFECTION.—Late on Monday evening Mr. Mills held an inquest at the Six Bells, Queen -street, Hammersmith, on the body of Eliza, Rogers, aged 47. It appeared that deceased, a person of very feeble health, had lost her father some time since, and was in the habit of visiting his grave, in Hammersmith churchyard, at all hours and seasons. On Friday morn ing last she was found lying near her father's grave, in a state of semi-nudity, and almost lifeless. Though she received prompt medical assistance, she expired in the course of the day. It was proved that on Thursday night, which was a very tempestuous one, she stole from her bed, and, scarcely clad, visited the churchyard. Mr. Roy, a surgeon, was of opinion that she died from exhaustion, the result df exposure to the night air. Verdict accordingly. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. —D BABY, OCT. 13. The following instance of speedy justice, through the medium of the electric telegraph, speaks more for the efficiency of that invention, as applied to the purposes of detecting crime, than volumes :—William Eltinton, whose case appeared in The Sun of Tuesday last, com mitted a robbery at Derby on the night of Friday last ; information of the circumstance, together with a full and correct description of the person of the prisoner, and also of the property stolen, was forwarded by the electric telegraph from Derby to Ittigby, at eight o'clock on Saturday morning. Inspector Faulkner, of the London and North-Western Railway Company, watched the arrival of the next train (11 A.si.) from Derby, when he saw the prisoner in one of the carriages, whereupon he took him into custody ; he was then taken before the magistrates at Rugby on Saturday morning, when sufficient evidence was adduced to cause them to re. mend the prisoner till the arrival of one of the inspec tors of police at Derby, to which place he was conveyed the same evening. On Monday evening ho was taken before the magistrates at Derby, when the prosecutor identified the property found upon the person of the prisoner as being the same that was stolen from him ; whereupon the prisoner was committed to take his trial for the robbery. The quarter sessions being held the same day, before Mr. J. Balguy, the Recorder, a bill was preferred before We grand jury, who returned a " true bill." The prisoner was then put upon his trial and convicted; when he was sentenced to six months' hard labour. The Learned Recorder, in passing sen tence, made some excellent remarks upon the efficiency of the electric telegraphs in detecting offenders, and trusted that they would be universally adopted on rail ways. Ho hoped that the present instance would be made as public as possible, as it was highly desirable that it should be generally known what a formidable in strument offenders had to contend against. INTREPIDITY OF THE LION QUEEN. -0n Wed nesday evening, during the exhibition of Hylton's per forming animals in Nottingham fair, a ferocious male hyena, exhibited in a den with another of the same spe cies, broke his chain, and attacking the other animal seized him by the foot, and a terrific fight commenced. Mrs. Hylton, " The Lion Queen," who is in the habit of visiting the den of these untameable brutes, immediately rushed between them, separated the furious animals by a blow to each, and eventually succeeded in again se curing the beast. Both the animals received injuries in the fight.—Notlinghantshire Guardian. THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. The revision of the householders' lists was proceeded with at ten o'clock yesterday morning by the Revising Barrister. George Henry Wright appeared in the list with the following description attached to his name : —Place of abode: 31, Sheppcnon -cottages, Ne.s. North-road, Isling ton. Nature of qualification : tenant to Mr. Bond, at a yearly rent of 501.

Mr. Browne applied to have the name expunged, and his application was founded on the manlier in which the was <I scribed, and which, he submittt d, was sufficient. The BARRISTF.II. observed that the qual'fication aR da 7ih('il WaS ; it lo (led to him lilac a county wion, and he must expunge the name. RESULT OF PIIE REVISION YESTERDAY. OBJECTIONS. —A 1.1.0 WED.

The court was held yesterday, at the Green Man, Bethnal-green. before Mr. Shadwell, for the revision of the lists in the Bethnal-green district. Mr. IV. H. James appeared for the Liberal party, and Mr. J. Payne for the Conservatives. In the Norton-folgate list, Matthew Coffee, described as residing at Liverpool, was objected to by the Con servatives, on the ground of insutficie►►t description. Mr. Coffee having proved his justification, stated that last year he was objected to by the Conservatives, and his name was retained. He had now come up from Liverpool on purpose to support his claim, and therefore asked for his expenses. Mr. Payne contended that Liverpool was not such a description of place of abode as required. Mr. Coffee stated that he resided iu a ward called Everton, but that he conlci not give any better address than Liverpool, as the place in which he lived was being newly formed, and had not yet been named. Mr. Payne submitted that Everton ought to be in serted. _ _ _ Mr. SRADWELL said that " Everton, Liverpool," might be a better description of place of abode, at all events it would prevent the voter being objected to again; but having made the alteration, he could not allow costs. Name retained. Mr. Robert Harrison, claiming in the Hackney list for a freehold house, situate in the High-street, was ob jected to by the Conservatives. From the evidence of the claimant it appeared that he lodged in the same house for which he claimed. At Lady-day last the claimant let to one Goodrich the house as yearly tenant, at the rent of 18/. a year, and afterwards became his lodger, paying a rent of three shillings a week. The claimant had paid all the rates up to Lady-day, when he let the house to Goodrich, and he still continued to pay the rates. Mr. Payne submitted, that if the claimant was allowed to stand upon the register it would be a great infringe ment of the Reform Act, as he would be entitled to vote for the borough, and thereby have two votes for the same house. Mr. SHADIVELL was of opinion that the claimant was entitled to vote; he would insert the number of the house in High-street.--Name retained. The Court rose at two o'clock. WESTMINSTER. The revision of the lists of voters for this city has ter minated most successfully for the Reform interest, as will be seen from the following statement:— RESULT OF REGISTRATION IN WESTMINSTER, 1846. Reform claims allowed l2B Tories expunged on objection 243 Deduct Tory gains on claims allowed Total gains to Reformers 367 In addition to the above gain, there was, previous to the revision, 979 more names on the lists than on the previous registr, a large majority of whom are known to be Reformers; this iticrew.e has mainly resulted from the attention paid by the ReforrnSociety to the insertion of names in the lists of voters previous to the revision. MARKWICK'S PATENT EPITIIEMS.—On Wednesday we were shown a specimen of Mr. Alarkwick's newly in vet.ted epithems, which as a neat cleanly substitute for those nasty contrivances, blisters and poultices, is cer tainly worthy of the patronage of the medical world. The epithem consists of a prepared sort of skin, very closely resembling gold-beater's skin, which is water tight. To this is attached, by m=ans of some glutinous material, a woollen fabric. This fabric, being saturated with warm.water, forms an excellent poultice, having all the softness, heat, and moisture of a poultice, without its weight. The epithem completely carries out Aber nethy's idea of the perfection of a poultice, viz. a very soft plaster. It is also used as a chest preserver. A square piece of the epithem applied dry to the chest answers all the purpose of a prepared hare skin, while it has this advantage over a hare skin—that moisture does not make it either useless or uncomfortable. There is another purpose to which these epithems might be use fully applied, which we would suggest to the patentee. They would be admirable linings for shoes, making them soft, easy, and water-tight. A BARGE ON FIRE. —Yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, a sailing barge laden with lime, which was moored in front of a wharf at Blackfriaxs, was found to be on fire. It appeared that the rain had penetrated through the tarpaulin to the lime and set it on fire. Several men belonging to the wharf endeavoured to ex tinguish the flames, but without success, and after an hour's exertion the barge was scuttled, and soon disap peared under the water, where she remained until the tide ebbed. ALA METER FOR LIFE.—A lady, residing in the west of Scotland, whose eartly span had been lengthened out to upwards of ninety years, slipped her foot one day when descending a stair, and in the fall broke her arm. To prevent any alarm on the part of a patient, whose advanced age rendered such an accident highly dangerous, her medical attendants informed her that her arm was only bruised not broken. This assurance gave her great relief, and she excloitned, " Oh ! I am so glad of this, for what a terrible thing it would have been for me to have broken my arm, and become a lameter for life." Such an expression, at the age of ninety•six, is worthy of a niche in the curiosities of medical experience. —Duntfrie. Courier. SCOTCH TrusTLE.—There is at present growing in the garden of Mr. John Boyd, Townend, Irvine, a fine ikecimen of the Scotch thistle, measuring upwards of six feet in height, with a corresponding circumference. This gigantic plant was raised from seed, sown two years ago, and when in full bloom a few weeks since was adorned with no less than 200 heads.—Scotch paper. STOPPAGE OF THAMES-STREET. —Yesterday the thoroughfare of Thames-street, between Southwark and London•bridges, was closed to relay the roadway. TILE GERMAN HOSPITAL AT DALSTON.—The first anniversary of the opening of the German Hospital at Dalston was celebrated yesterday. A large body of the promoters, supporters, and friends of the institution as sembled within the hospital at one o'clock, when divine service was performed in the chapel by the Rev. Dr. Kuper, who preached an excellent and appropriate ser mon. On the conclusion of the service the strangers were politely shown over the hospital by the Rev. Dr. Wesley and Herr Walbaum, the honorary secretaries, accompanied by the other officials of the establishment, and the internal economy seemed to give general satis- action. NOVEL IMPORTATION.—A vessel just arrived in the River from Alexandria (Egypt) has brought, in addition to 261 tons weight of animal bones, 3,758 baskets of pigeons' dung. This extensive arrival is not of the de scription of manure known by the name of guano, other wise, it is presumed, it would have been so termed in the report of the vessel importing the article. It would appear, however, from the description given above, that it possesses the qualities of, or is of the kind of merchan dise similar to, the article which has of late been so ex tensively supplied from the islands in the Southern and South Atlantic Oceans, between the African and South American coasts. Its importation from the particular quarter mentioned, and the apparent novelty of the article so named, causes it to be of interest to those con cerned in the supply of the manure called guano, which is the excrement or refuse of the penguin bird, abound ing in the southern climes, and is, therefore, entitled to particular notice. THuE lIOUSEEIOLD CAVALRY.—We have learned from good authority, that in consequence of representa tion having been made to the Commander in-Chief that obstructions were at times occasioned, and that accidents were likely to occur from the circumtances of the Household Cavalry, owing to military regulation and practice, not invariably marching on their near side of the road, his Gracl has very considerately ordered that in future they shall uniformly march on their proper side. This will effectually prevent the inconvenience which, from the number of vehicles constantly moving at difs ferent rates of speed on the roads about London, it i impossible otherwise to obviate. NEWS rou SPORTSMEN.—We learn that Mr. Seaton, Hollybush, shot a woodcock on Saturday, the 3d inst., and another on Saturday last. The keeper of Sir William Miller's estate of Glenlee—Mr. M`Gaan— also shot one on Thursday the Bth. These early ar rivals, it they indicate nothing else, at least promise good sport for a sportsman.—Aur 04ser, vet-. z-, MEXICAN BONDS. The following highly important communication on the subject of tha Mexican debt, with a copy of the opera tive part of the " dispatch," has been forwarded by Senor Gem( z Farias the younger, son and representative of the Mexican Minister of Finance. It will be observed by the second clause of the dispatch that the Mexican Government contemplate a re-exchange of the old for the new bonds as the chief thing to be done at present; and by the third clause, that there is a notion of some new terms, yet undefined:— ~" "TO THE EDITOR OF THE TINES. "Sir,—l am informed that the continued silence of Mr. Murphy with regard to the determinatoin of the Mexican Government on the subject of the arrangement of its foreign debt lately made in this city, has excited much uneasiness among the bondholders, and all unfa vourable feeling towards the Government of the Re public. " Desirous of calming the apprehensions of those in terested in the public debt of Mexico, I beg to assure them that the resolutions of my Government disapprov ing the conversion mado under the late administration of Gener:al - l'uredes, have been adopted, not from mo tives of party, and still less from those of interest, but solely from the conviction that the country could not fulfil the engagements which Mr. Murphy, without any powers to such effe.t, had contracted. " Since, therefore, it apc.ears that Mr. Murphy re fuses to make public the orders which he received by the last steamt r from his Government (and which 1 de livered to him in person on the 7th inst.), that the heed heNitrs mry er the real intentions of the pre-ent M( xican Administration, 1 hug to accompany lii•rewith a trenslntion of that part of the digpatch which contains tke orders referred to, and soliciting its publication. — I remain, Sir, your obi.dicnt servant, " B.

"2. That public notice be immediately given through the London journals, in order that the holders of the said converted debt may go and receive back the bonds which they had previously delivered for conversion, giving in exchange those that they may have received of the new consolidated fund.

Thomas Murphy, Minister Plenipotentiary of the republic to her Britannic Majesty." MARVELLOUS RAILWAY IN CI- DENT. On Monday last, Oct. 12, a gentleman of the name of Parker, of Sydenham, Kent, was travelling by the mail train from Derby to London, in a first-class carriage; his only companion being a gentleman about thirty years of age, remarkably handsome, and perfectly gentle• manly in his appearance and manners. After some pre liminary conversation, he requested to have the window kept open, and offered Mr. Parker his wrapper if he felt inconvenienced by the cold. Other conversation ensued, and be stated that he once possessed a large fortune, which he had squandered; that he had now retired from the army, and had not been so happy for a long period as at that moment; adding that some friend had given him 1;100/. to pay his debts, and 5001. more to buy furniture, and that the first thing be intended to do was to buy a dressing-case, which would- cast him thirty-five guineas, which Mr. Parker remarked he thought would be a great pity, as no doubt he already possessed one. After some further conversation, which began to alarm fir. Parker, he suddenly dropped on his knees, and in a most energetic and fervent manner prayed for his friends the Dukes of Beaufort and Wel lington, and more particularly that his dear mother, who had died in his inftincy, should appear, &c. After rising from his knees he exclaimed to Mr. Parker, " Did you hear a noise ? You must have beard that God was speaking to me." At the same moment a train passed, the engine of which he declared to be hell. Mr. Parker by this time being greatly alarmed, tried in vain to soothe him ; his only reply was," Have you repented of 3our sins?" at the same time throwing off his boots, coat, and shirt, with his gold watch, chain, and seals ; he began to slap Mr. Parker in , the face, exclaiming, " You must come along with me I" and thrusting his own head through the window, he cut his heacrand nee k in a most shocking manner, and was soon covered with blood. lie then returned with double fury, and beat Mr. Parker about the head and face most severely. Ex pecting to be murdared every moment, Mr. Parker en treated him (in order to gain time) to pray again, which he instantly did ; while Mr. Parker, at the imminent risk of his life, opened the door and made his way to the next carriage, where there was only one gentle man, who, having heard all that had passed, helped him in and shut to the door. They lad scarcely cone this when the madman appeared, endeavouring to force his way in also, at:el it required the united efforts of both to keep him out, so he returned to his carriage. This hap pened near the Watford station. Frequent and unavail ing appeals ry ere made to the guard for assistance, stating that a gentleman was dying, at•al the reply was that being after their time they could not stop, as the Manchester train was close behind them. This, however, was no excuse for the guard not going to the carriage to ascer tain what was the matter. All Mr. Parker knows fur ther of this strange companion is, that the guard of a following train saw a man in a state of nudity running by the side of the road, which can only be accounted for by his having thrown himself off the train, which was then going at an increased speed. A servant was at the terminus of the Euston-square station, waiting for his master; but Mr. Parker being in a dreadfully bruised state, and most anxious to get home, did not wait to hear the result of this strange encounter. We are happy to say he is now nearly recovered from the effects of his violent bruises and most alarming position. CELEBRATION OF EARL GR OS , VENOR'S MAJORITY. Chester was on Tuesday wholly given to festivity to celebrate the coming . of age of Earl Grosvenor, eldest son of the Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster. The bells of the cathedral and other churches rang forth merry peals, bands pat ailed the streets, and all was hilarity and mirth. Two thousand tickets, value seven shillings each, available either in silver coin or meat and drink, were distributed among the citizens as a gift from the Noble Marquis, to enable them to " make merry and be glad" on this auspicious occasion; and various social parties assembled at the different hotels and inns to enjoy a good dinner, and to drink long life and hap piness to the respected heir of the Noble House of Eaton. About twelve o'clock the boys of the Blue Coat Hospital, preceded by their excellent juvenile band, marched with their elegant banner and new flags pre pared for this festivity, to Eaton Park, where a scene of universal rejoicing presented itself. In front of the splendid mansion of Eaton Hall mall marquees were erected, in which an immense body of the tenants of the Noble Marquis, their la bourers, and dependents, were feasted with a most substantial dinner of good old English cheer, with potations of the choicest juice of the "barley brec;" and most heartily did the assembled throng do justice to the bounty of Lord Westminster, and most re solutely did they cheer the bumper toast to the health of the Earl Grosvenor. The festivities at Eaton Hall were continued on Wednesday and Thursday, when the females resident on the estates of the Marquis, and others to whom his kindness on this occasion has been extended, were regaled with tea and other entertain ments; and the children of the various schools which are supported by the liberality of the Grosvenor family had also the happiness of partaking in the universe joy. The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, the Earl Grosvenor, Lady Elizabeth Grosvenor, the Honourable Mr. Lawley, and other members of the family circle, honoured the festivities with their pre sence; and a great number of the neighbouring gentry and of the most influential citizens of Chester were spectators of the joyous scene. At five o'clock in the afternoon about two hundred of the principal gentry and tradesmen of the city and neighbourhood sat down to a banquet at the Royal Hotel. In the unavoidable ab sence of the Mayor, Mr. Thomas Dixon discharged the duties of the chair. The greatest conviviality animated the party, and the toast of the evening, to the health and happiness of Earl Grosvenor, was drunk in wines of the choicest vintage, and with prolonged and hearty cheers. About nine o'clock there was a magnificent dis play of fireworks on the Roodee (fo r which a liberal sub scription bad been raised amongst obitsililrentted, towers and walls of the ancient city, ein a i rance presented a most singular and interesting api l e b 'd a fr o o d in th th e eexchhibesitticornceox.criatendt. general admiration.— ri ge SUICIDE o f A BARR IST ER.—Late on Wednesday Mr. Mills held an inquest on the body of' Walker Jordan, Esq., aged 43, barrister. The inquiry took e vening Mr. place at the deceased's residence, No. 15, Gloucester-road, Regent's-park. It appeared by the evi dence of several witnesses that for some time past de ceased had laboured under great depression of spirits, and entertained a fear, which it appears was unfounded, that his pecuniary affairs were becoming embarrassed. On Tuesday morning he rose at his usual hour, and went to his dressing-room, where shortly afterwards the report of fire-arms was heard. Mrs. Jordan and the servants went to the room, and found deceased lying on his back, having discharged a large horse pistol into his chest. Dr. Joncs, a neighbouring surgeon, was imme diately called in, and pronounced life extinct. Verdict, " That deceased destroyed himself, being at the time of unsound mind." Johanna DEATit or A DWARE—On Friday a diminutive womr,named O'Connor, aged about 50, from the sister isle, was brought into Nottingham for the pur pose of being exhibited in the fair. Persons who ho noured her with their company on that day were struck with the ghastliness of her appearance, and took especial care not to repeat the visit. On Saturday, at noon, the " wonder of the world" was taken ill, and died at two o'clock. On Sunday afternoon the remains of the unfor tunate pigmy, who but a few days previous had been the subject of " a challenge to the world," wero conveyed to m Journal. 1 , the cemetery.—Nottinglaz k, WILLIAM RATRAY, Actuary and Secretary.
