REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK. The recent showers hav:og afforded the requisite moisture for enabling farmers to commence ploughing, field work has been pretty actively begun ; and for some time to come the preparation of the soil and the committing of the seed to the ground, will engage the attention of the agricul turist. Some falling off has already taken place in the deliveries from the growers, and we must reckon on short supplies during the next month or six weeks. Under these circumstances we see no reason to except a reaction in prices ; on the contrary, we deem it by no means improbable that a further advance may be established. Tha t the deficiency in the potato crop is very serious becomes from day to day more evident; the lifting of t his root is now in full pro gress, and the accounts from all quarters agree in describing the produce as exceedin g l y short. What with the disease, the shortness of the breadth of ground origi nally planted, and the ill effects of an unusually dry, hot summer, the yield will, we fear, scarcely amount to one half of what is grown in ordinary seasons. The conse quences of a loss of one-half, or even a third of the potato crop it is difficult to estimate; nearly half of the people of Ireland subsist almost wholly on this article, and it is so generally and extensively used by the poorer classes in England and Scotland as to render this crop only inferior in importance to that of Wheat. Great anxiety is, con sequently, felt as to how the masses are to be provided with wholesome food during the approaching winter ; and it is now regarded as a positive certainty that prices of all sorts of provisions will rule high. Wheat has already advanced 16. to 18s. per quarter from the lowest point ; prices have steadily moved upward almost without a check since the termination of harvest, althoughlthe farmers have kept the markets well supplied. Such having been the case, with liberal deliveries from the growers, we can hardly calculate on a re-action now that we have arrived at a period of the year when the supplies from the farmers are almost sure to fall off considerably. This, at least, appears to be the general opinion; and merchants and millers have lately evinced greater anxiety to get into stock than they have displayed at any previous period. At most of the lead ing provincial markets held during the week the demand has been sufficiently active to enable sellers to obtain enhanced rates. At Liverpool, on Tuesday, Wheat was quoted at 6d. per 701bs. higher than on that day se'nnight; and most other articles rose in proportion. Barrelled Flour found takers at 3s. 6d. per barrel over former rates. Oats were 2d. per 451b5., and Beans and Peas Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer. Later in the week buyers became unwilling to pay these enhanced terms, and the business done in Wheat at the port on Friday was at prices a shade below those previously current. From the chief towns in Yorkshire we have advices of advancing prices. At Leeds and Hull busines was not particularly brisk on Tuesday, but the millers had to pay an advance of 3i. per quarter on Wheat. The Wakefield accounts, of Friday, are of a more lively character, but the advance was not greater than the first named market. From the large consuming towns west and northwest of the metropolis the advices are of a similar nature to the reports from the places above referred to, whilst at many of the markets in the agricultural districts the rise has been even more important. Some of the shipping ports on the east coast have been visited by the buyers from France and Holland, which has no doubt assisted to give an impetus to prices, and in Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, &c., similar qua lities of wheat to those sold two months ago at 445. to 455. have this week realised 58s. to 60s. per quarter. By our Scotch letters it appears that the failure of the potato crop is as serious in that as in other parts of the kingdom. The prospect of the comparative scarcity during the winter, and the continued advance in the quotations of provisions in the south, had caused holders of grain to become very indifferent about realising. Both at Edinburgh and Glasgow wheat and Oats were quoted higher on Wednesday than on that day week, and a further enhancement was confidently reckoned upon. The accounts from Ireland are truly distressing; in some parts of the island, the people have, through want, committed excesses which it has required the military to quell, and in the encounters between the former and latter, blood has already been spilt. That the utmost distress prevails there in consequence of the failure of the potato crop, is undoubted ; and it is fearful to con template what may be the effects should the approaching winter prove severe. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have amounted to 7,067 qrs. during the week, showing a con siderable decrease as compared with the receipts of the precedir.g eight days. The quantity exhibited at Mark lane by land-carriage samples from the home counties has also been moderate ; indeed the show on the Essex, Kent, and Suffolk sands was so trifling, both on Wed nesday and Friday, as to render it difficult for the millers to secure sufficient for their immediate wants. The trans actions were consequently on rather a restricted scale, but the business done was, in most cases, at prices Is. to 2s. per qr. above those current in the beginning of the week : this advance was general on Friday. The demand for free fo reign Wheat has undergone a decided improvement since our last, and some rather extensive purchases have been made. On Wednesday holders were generally sa tisfied to accept previous prices, but towards the close of The week enhanced terms were insisted on, and Mon day's rates were in several instances exceeded by 2s. per qr. Fine old Rostock Wheat was the sort most sought after, and the best qualities were held at 60s. to 635. per qr. There is still a good stock of old remaining in granary ; the bulk consists, however, of secondary and inferior kinds, a large proportion of the fine qualities having gradually passed into consumption. In bonded Wheat nothing of interest has transpired ; not so much from want of demand as from the extra vagant pretensions of holders. The fall of the duty must now be very rapid, as the averages are coming high from all quarters : the last weekly return for the kingdom (535. Id.) was Is. 10d. per quarter higher than that previously published ; and though the duty is at present Bs., it will in all probability recede to the lowest point by the end of the month. The little bonded wheat here is consequently held at prices within Is. per quarter of those of tree, and there is no more induce ment to speculate in the one than in the other. The few parcels which have changed hands have been taken for shipment to France, where prices continue so, high as to leave a tolerable margin for profit on purchases made here. The rise of ss. per sack on Flour established last Monday has been pretty freely paid by the bakers, and a good business has been done in the article during the week. American Flour has been in lively request ; and though 12,072 barrels have arrived within the last eight days, and further receipts are expected, good brands have been easily placed at 30s. in bond, or 345. to 355. duty paid. The arrivals of Barley have been moderate, and the greater part of what has come to hand from the east coast has gone direct to the maltsters and distillers; the display of samples at Mark lane has, therefore, been trifling. Superior malting and good grinding qualities have met with a fair share of attention, and in some in stances Monday's quotations have been slightly exceeded for these descriptions ; the intermediate sorts have, on the other hand, moved off somewhat slowly at previous prices. The duty on this grain (and the other articles regulated by the Barley averages) receded to the mini mum point ; and Rye, Beans, and Peas, as well as Barley, may now be importeu at a duty of 2s. per quarter. The supply of Malt has barely kept pace with the de mand, and the value of this article has had an upward tendency. Of the total 26,313 qrs. of Oats reported during the week, 12,234 qrs. are groin Ireland and 10,710 q-s. from abroad, the receipts coastwise having been scanty in the extreme ; nearly the whole of those received from Ire land have consisted of this year's growth. The weight of the new Irish is barely so heavy as it has been some previous seasons, hut the quality of those hitherto re ceived has in other respects been good ; the prices realised for the best have been 303. to 325. per quarter. Old Corn, whether of home or foreign growth, has been held at full terms ; and it was difficult, on Friday, to purehase good fresh parcels at the prices current in the beginning of the week. The operations in English Beans have, from the want of supplies, been unimportant; holders have, however, exhibited great firmness, and needy buyers have hat to pay very full prices. Egyptian Beans in bond have been inquired for, and as much as 355. per quarter has been paid. Peas have come to hand very sparingly; and with but little passing in the article, we have no alteration to notice in quotations. The inquiry for Indian Corn has rather slackened, and it is impossible to obtain the extreme rates of last week either for floating cargoes or for parcels on the spot. FOREIGN CORN TRADE. By the steam-ship Britannia we have advices of re cent dates from the United States and Canada. The reports as to the results of the harvest are very favour able, and it was estimated that the superior yield of the crops would afford a large surplus of grain for exports-. tion. The Wheat had been all secured, but the greater part of the Indian Corn was then still abroad, that arti cle requiring a longer period to arrive at maturity than other sorts of grain or pulse. The produce of Indian Corn would, it was expected, prove very abundant; but as the old stccks were nearly exhausted, prices , had run up considerably at all the leading markets. The accounts from hence had caused a good dea l of excitement, and the prospect of Great Britain requiring supplies had induced holders to demand an advance of 50 to 70 cents. per barrel fur Flour. At New York, on the 14th of September, good brands of Western Canal Flour were quoted 20s. to 21s. per brl., and for superi o r Richmond Mills 6 doll., or 265. sd. per brl. had been asked. Rather large pur chases of %Vheat had been made at New York after re ceipt of the English advices of the 19th of August, and 363. per qr., free on board, had been paid fur fine Genessee. The stock of Flour at New York was esti mated at about 20,000 brls. ut the same period of last year. This certainly does nut look as if we should be overwhelmed with supplies from the other side of the Atlantic, for it must be borne in mind that the inland navigation of North America is usually closed by ice in November or early in December ; and however large the crop may be, the new gr a in can scarce ly b e got d own from the interior to the ports of shipment before the fall of the year. Letters from Montreal, of the Bth ult. ' state that a good m an y or d ers f or t h e purc h ase of Wheat had been received there ; the actual transactions appear, however, to have been trivial, owing to the limits of the orders nut corning up to the expectation of holders. Only a couple of thousand barrels of Flour had, con sequently changed hands at 245, 9d. to 255. per brl. Freight on Flour from New York to London was 3 s . Gd and to Liverpool 2s. 6d. per brl. One vessel had b een chartered to load Flour fur Havre at 80c. (about 3s. 4d. per brl.) The accounts from the north of Europe are of very little interest at present. By advices from D antz i c, of the 26th of September, it appears that hardly anythi ng bad been done there in Wheat, with a view of shipping to London. About 80 lasts of c ild mixed, weighing 601 b. per bushel, had been taken o n J ersey account at 48s. 6d. ; whilst for a parcel of fir4e n tixed, the growth of 1842, 50s. 6d. per qr. had een. psi tby a local speculator. From Rostock we have advice 3 of the 28th of Sep tember. No supplies of new cor n had th€n yet reached that market ; and, there being scarcely any stocks in granary, the little on hand had been held at high terms, say 535. to 545. per qr. for the best wheat. At Hamburgb, on Tuesday, when t did not excite much attention, the high prices asked ha ving checked the in quiry ; tolerable good qualities of red, on the spot, were then held at 525. to 535., and. for heavy parcels, to be shipped at outports, 525. per qr. , free on board, had been asked. A good deal of business had been done in Danish barley, and from 235. 9d. to 255. 3d. per qr., according to weight, &c., had been. paid. Oats had also been in fair request, and for 40Ibs. quality, to be shipped for a Danish port, 21s. ad. per qr. had been realised. In the Dutch and Belgian markets wheat was still tending upwards, according to the latest accounts. In the Mediterranean attention appears to have been directetl more to Indian corn than to wheat ; at Mar seilles as much as 325. to 335. per qr., free on board, had been paid for the article, and prices had risen nearly in the same proportion at other ports. Letters from Trieste quote the price there, on the 24th of September, 28s. to 295. per qr., and at Ancona, on the 23d ult., the price was 245. 6d. per qr.—Mark lane Express. FORTIFICATIONS of the COASTS OF ENGLAND. We spoke summarily a few days ago of a memoir which M. C. H. Dupin was to read at the Academy of Science, about the roadsteads or ports of refuge projected in England upon the English shore facing France. We are to• day enabled to present our readers with a sketch of the interesting work. The works of Plymouth, began twenty-five years after those of Cherbourg, have been terminated long since, says M. Dupin, in beginning ; and whilst Cherbourg drags slowly to an end impossible to foretell, England is going to create as many Cherbourgs as she finds sites; from whence all her war navy, quickly and safely col lected in one single mass, might be thrown rgsinst France, in a number of hours, from one hour and a half to seven hours at most, upon every weak point, from Dunkerque to the bay of St. Male. Here is at all events how all those fortified points ' originated. We will show, by M. Dupin's researches, that England knows how to make the best for her power of the most harmless and apparently philanthropic circumstance. In 1843 a Special Committee of the House of Com mons, established to take notice of the shipwrecks expe rienced by merchant-vessels on the coasts of England, had forwarded to the Government the recommendations of establishing harbours of refuge. The committee, with a wise reserve, had refrained from recommending any situation to be preferred for similar harbours ; nay, they had expressed that such propositions would be much better solved by a meeting of some learned persons, also endowed with practical knowledge, and especially appointed for such a highly important object. Being anxious to continue this recommendation, the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, is concert with the Lords of the Exchequer, readily appointed a commis sion, or board, to be occupied with the sketched work. The Admiral (Martin) was named the chairman of it, and all that England possessed of celebrated engineers and distinguished and experienced naval officers, duly brought the tribute of their ability to clear up such an important affair. Here is the technical programme given by the Lords of the Exchequer to that great commission, or board, upon the objects which were judged to require an im mediate notice. 1. To determine whether it is desirable that a harbour of refuge should be constructed in the British Channel, after duly weighing, on one hand, the public advantages likely to result, and, on the other hand, the expenses re quired by it. 2. What site will seem the most advantageous for a harbour of that kind, in order to unite in the best manner the three following qualities . " That the entrance be easy is every tide for ships endangered by rough weather. " That the harbour may serve as a station for armed vessels in case of war, and perform both defence and at tack. " That it should present easy ways of defence in case of an enemy's attack." Moreover, should the Commissioners find out that all these conditions cannot be fulfilled by a single harbour of refuge in the British Channel, they are authorised to develope their researches accordingly ; then to make known those advantages proper to the various sites which they will think it their duty to recommend, show ing, of course, those they consider most eligible. These remarkable instructions were dated April 2, 1844. In four months and five days the Commission visited all the ports along the British Channel, made new soundings, collected the opinions of all special men, from the least pilot up to geologists and engineers. At last, on the following August 7th, the board had closed their labours, and presented their conclusions to the Lords of the Exchequer ; all that, says M. Dupin, in less time than the Academy of Sciences take to give their conclusions upon a thirty-paged paper. Now, the author states the results of the inquest. Prima facie, one might think that the south-western coast of England, liberally provided by nature, and assisted long since by industry, offers a sufficient number of harbours of refuge, which leave nothing to be wished for. We have already mentioned Plymouth, to which must be added Falmouth, the most western situation. In re turning towards the east we find in succession—Dart mouth, Southampton, Portsmouth, and the Thames. Not only those chief harbours of refuge have not been judged sufficient by the board; but they have also judged that the addition of one great port would not even suf fice. They demand works and propose expenses for these four new situations, which I will make known in succession. A speciarcommission, instituted in 1840 (this epoch is remarkable), had granted the preference for creating new harbours of refuge:—first, at Dover; second, at Beachy Head; third, at Foreness, near the North Fore land. Here is the private programme of the board of 1840: —To visit the coast between the mouth of the Thames and Selsea Bill, to examine the harbours as sheltering the vessels which cross the Channel in stress of weather, and as harbouring merchant vessels pursued by hostile cruisers in time of war, and more particularly as stations for war steamers, iu order to protect the British trade in the narrow parts of the Channel. The first board had proposed Foreness, near Margate, which offered a safe site and a good anchorage ground for merchant vessels. The new board rejects it. They want two ports:—Harwich, that with some improve ment will offer the same advantages, by serving as a national station to a squadron of war-steamers; and the Bay of Hollesley, which will conveniently receive men of-war. Ramsgate also attracts the board's attention. But the site which they prefer to any other is Dover. Dover is the point both nearest and most threatening to France. Lately Dover has become still more valuable by the railway from London to this port, and branching into other lines. In two hours' time masses of soldier, marine crews, naval stores and ammunitions, and a whole train of ordnance, can be sent to Dover, starting from London, Deptbrd, Woolwich, and Portsmouth. Dover possesses a dry dock for the repair of merchant vessels, and expanse of wide quays and spacious ware houses; beides the fore-out dock, the wet dock is more than two hectares and a half in surface, and works are going on to double this space. There is, morever, a third dock, which might be fitted to receive a great number of sloops and gun-brigs, which dock is now being considerably improved. When the celebrated William Pitt carried on a deadly struggle between England and France, he wished eagerly to establish a road closed in the front of Dover; he had plans drawn up for that purpose. The ordnance de partment has found them again in its records, and has presented them to the board, whose labours I am exa- milling. After numerous experiments continued during a whole year, the commissioners conclude unanimously (but for one vote), that Dover, favourably situated to protect the navigation of the straits, is the natural station of a divi sion of war vessels. Moreover, the construction of a harbour of refuge in this place is also ascertained as indis pensable fur the protection of trade. In continuing to advance to the south, the board neg lects the two bays separated by Cape Dungeness, both excellent anchorages. The reason for this seeming abo lition, however, deserves to be named. It runs thus : It is because, when nature presents such a commodious shelter, it will always be a subject of serious thought to know that one must not be satisfied with the good wo find, in order to procure to other places (of an ascer tained importance as to the site) the artificial help they require, to acquire the qualities of a safe and quite an chorage. Two or three leagues farther than Cape Beachy you will find Seaford. This presents a magnificent anchorage, which lies fe licitausly within the same distance from Dover and Portsmouth. Such is the intermediary site fur which the Commission does not hesitate to propose to Govern ment a great work of art. The Board demands that in a direction from north north .west to south south-east there should be con structed a breakwater or pier, one marine mile in length, and a little curved at each extremity by a rectilinear bend. Behind this long breakwater, first-rate men-of-war would find a depth of water more than sufficient ; and nearer to the land there would remain a very large space for merchant vessels of every tonnage. This formidable situation would threaten at once all the French ports, from Boulogne to Havre, from which it is only 72 miles distant. This port will find, without doubt, some inconvenience in not being protected well enough by Cape Barrow, westwards, the west winds prevailing especially in the stormy season ; but this objection is not predominating. in the eyes of the Commissioners. Taking into consi deration the neighbourhood of the inner port of New• haven, they do not hesitate to propose for such a valu able site an expense of thirty millions of francs -1,250,0001. Let us add that by bird's flight the distance from Seaford to London is only 40 kilometres —3O miles ; and that, through the railway between Brighton and London being branched to Seaford, it would be easy to reach Seaford from the metropolis in less than two hours. From Seaford to Portsmouth the British navy will have nothing to do with ; cne must go further COmiles westward to reach the magnificent site of Portland. The isle of Portland shelters and protects westwards and southwards ; the extensive road of the same name opens eastwards. ' , 44 This road is adjoining that of the Weymouth, looking southwards. The Commission propose to construct a breakvt ater which would cover, on the south-east, the roads of Portland. This pier would extend about one mile and a quarter, with a passage close enough to the land, in a place where the depth would not be less than 42 English feet. The expense is estimated at 12,000,000 francs, or 500,0001. sterling. It may create surprise that, with so great a depth of water, a pier could be constructed for that sum. But at Portland such a construction is eco nomical and easy. Besides, the isle of Portland possesses inexhaustible stone quarries, a great part of which belong to the state, and will be ready for the groundwork of the breakwater. The isle has plenty of soft water springs, which will supply all the vessels anchored in the roads. Finally, this road offers the advantage of an inner port at Weymouth, which is formed by the mouth of the little river Way—hence the name of the place. Such is the whole of the works the Commission pro poses in that site ; a naval division stationed at Port land, having under its protection, jointly with the Dart mouth station, all the intermediary points ; in short, these two situations will complete with Plymouth an unbroken chain of communication, co-operation, and protection between Dover and Falmouth, in an extent of 300 sea miles, or 556 kilometres. M. Dupin then enters into all the particulars of the works to be undertaken upon those different sites, be ginning with Dover, which the Commission considers of first necessity. He next quotes, word for word, the de finitive conclusions of the English Commission, which present great interest in every respect, and accompanies them with useful remarks, well worthy being meditated, and by which we will concludo this rapid analysis. Here are the conclusions of the Commission. " The Board cannot close their report without ex pressing in the strongest terms their unanimous opinion and profound conviction, that it is indispensable to adopt snch measures as will procure to the south-east frontier a powerful naval protection. " Without any exception, the tide harbours situate on the coast between Portsmouth and the Thames are net capable of receiving large steam vessels. Now-a-days, when steam has introduced so great a change in the situation of modern affairs, it is an imperious necessity to make up, by artificial means, for the want of proper sea ports in the narrow part of the Channel. " A hydrographical chart shows the points or places where, from our propositions, our merchant vessels will find refuge in harbours and closed anchorage grounds. " By such means, connected with the use of steam at sea, with railways and telegraphic communications by land, the naval and military strength of Great Britain can, in a few hours, be brought to bear with the greatest effect upon any point of the coast. " The resolutions we have thought it our duty to sub mit to your Lordships of the Exchequer to be executed, will require a great amount of public expenditure ; but when the lives, the private property, as well as the national safety, are the interests at stake, we think no pecuniary consideration should be allowed to prevent the realisation of results of such vast importance." -. The general chart to which the:Commissioners allude in their conclusions, says M. Dupin, presents a series of distances which will certainly strike every attentive ob server. Here they are related according to their res pective bearings, proceeding from west to east, in geogra phical miles, 60 to the degree. Miles FromlFalmouth to Plymouth, Ist centre of protec tion and aggression 3B From Plymouth to the Isle of Guernsey (a British possession at the entrance of St. Malo's Gulf) From Plymouth to Dartmouth 3O From Dartmonth to Portland (the second important centre of protection and aggression) From Portland to the Anglo-Norman Isle of Guern- sey From Portland to Alderney, the next Anglo-Nor- man Isle (Alderney lies 29 miles from Cberburg.) Prom Portland to Portsmouth, rounding off tsle of Wight . From Portsmouth (the third centre of protection and aggression) to Alderney B7 From Portsmouth to Seaford (the fourth centre of protection and aggression) 5B From Seaford, doubling Beachy Head, to Dover (the fifth centre of protection and aggression) From Dover, penetrating in the Thames, as far as the anchorage in the Nore, facing the naval ar senal of Sheerness (the sixth centre of protection and aggression) From Dover to Harwich over the Thames (the se venth centre of protection and aggession) 55 It will be remarked, undoubtedly, how the centres of protection and aggression are multiplied, and almost heaped, in proportion as the coast of England becomes nearer to that of France. From Portsmouth to the port of Harwich, in an extent of twenty-two myriametres only it is proposed to create, according to the estimates for 96,000,000 of sea works. There will be five great centres of protection, capable of receiving five naval armies, and serving as starting points for five expeditions of great war-steamers— the farthest expedition being able to pounce in seven hours upon the coast of France, and the nearest one in one hour and a half; the whole of which works will exercise their influence, not to say their sway, upon 150 leagues of our shores, from Dunkirk to the Bay of St. Malo. We shall end this memoir by observing that, along all this vast unfolding of open shores, France possesses but one great centre of protection—that is, Cherbourg. Under the reign of Louis XIV. an illustrious member of the Academy of Sciences, a great citizen, who never left untried any service he could render to his native country—the Marshal Vauban—had known how to give us, at Hardyck, near Dunkirk, a first centre of protection, which was destroyed not by war, but in peace, by decay, in the reign of Louis XV. I should consider myself the most happy of men if I could hope this memoir will not be without influence ; so that, in our age, following the example set by a great reign, and aroused by the indefatigable energy of our rivals, we should zealously occupy ourselves about the means fit to give us sufficient centres of protection for our merchant vessels from Dunkirk to Cherbourg. This is a vital question both for commerce and the safety of the country—sueh a question tas can be well solved only by the united aid of civil, military, and naval science and art. Let us call to our assistance hydrography, navigation, hydraulic ardhitecture, railways, and electric telegraphy, in order that from Paris, as rapidly as from London, salutary advices and orders for action should be trans mitted in opportune time, finding within proper dis tances both places of protection and radiating centres, such as are required for the security of our shores, and the honour of our native country.—Journal du Havre. THE REGISTRATIONS. EAST SURREY. The Court sat again yesterday, at the Vestry flail, Camberwell. In the Christ Church list one case stood over, that of the Rev. Mr. Mapleton, the rector of the parish, who described his qualification as " freehold rec tory of Christ Church." The vote was objected to by Mr. Russell, the free-trade agent, and time was allowed to produce evidence as to the precise nature of the qualification. Mr. Meymott said that formerly, under a will by John Marshall, the rector had a residence in a place called Axe-buildings, which had long since been pulled down, and now formed part of the Blackfriars-road, but the trustees under the will paid the rector 1001, a-year to provide a residence. This sum was derived from large freehold estates, and therefore clearly entitled the Rev. Gentleman to a vote. Mr. Russell argued that there ought to be some better evilence as to the nature of the qualification. The money ought to be paid as a rent-charge, or under an Act of Parliament, and a variety of other ways, and there should be some distinct proof of a freehold interest on land before the claim was allowed. The REVISING BARRISTER held the qualification good one, and retained the name on the list. In the Camberwell list, Mr. Charles Ranken claimed as a leaseholder. It appeared that he held the lease of a residence from Dulwich College, worth 2801. a yea”, but for which he only paid 621., in consideration of repairing, &c.. and which he had underlet at a rent of 105/. Mr. Russell objected to the qualification, on the ground that there should be a clear profit rental of 501. per year, the amount in this case being only 431. Mr. Ileymott argued that the Reform Act only re quired that the property should be worth 50/. more than the amount at which it was underlet, and not that the lessee should actually have a beneficial interest to that amount. The REVISING BARRISTER said his construction of the Act was that there should be a receipt of 50/. a-year over and above the expenses, and the name must there fore be expunged. No less than fifty claims were sent in by inmates of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum, in the Kent-road. They described their qualification as "freehold houses and land." The claims were objected to by the overseers of Cam berwell, in which parish the asylum is situated. Mr. Russell said he was instructed to support the claim made by these parties, but, upon the consideration he had been able to give to the question, he was of opinion that the claims could not be substantiated. The parties claiming to vote were the inmates of an asylum established by the licensed victuallers, for the reception of decayed members of their body, and the whole of them had, no doubt, contributed towards the expense of the building. They wire, however, subject to dismissal under certain circumstances, and it was questionable whether they possessed such a freehold interest as would entitle them to a vote. lie should, therefore, refrain from going further into the question on the present oc casien, and consented to abandon all the claims. Mr. Shenton, one of the overseers, wished it to be understood that the claims had not been sent in with the sanction of the authorities of the asylum. Mr. Meymott said he was instructed to oppose the claims, but of course it was now unnecessary for him to do so. Ile at the same time observed that the parties had been put to a great deal of expense in printing, when the parties clearly had no qualifications. The whole of the names were then struck out from the list. EXPORTS FROM SOUTIIANIPTON.—We understand that the exports of articles of merchandise from this port to foreign ports during the month of September, have considerably exceeded any previous month ; value is about 200,0001, exported to the East and West Indies, China, Alexandria, Smyrna, Constantinople, Italy, the Peninsula, and the Channel Islands. There has been also shipped from hence, for Lisbon, about 30,000/. in gold, which is much in demand there, and con sequently at a high premium.—Hampshire Independent.

The present has been a remarkable year for floods in the Tweed and Teviot. On the 30 t h o f J u l y l ast, t h e Tweed, after its junction with the Teviot, was higher than it had been for fifteen years, having reached to within five feet of the celebrated flood of 1831 ; but the wa o s n c J t n h s e id B e t r h e d of to A h n a g ve ns r t e l a a c s h t e , d th i s ts T h w ei e g e h d t a o t f Tweed itself was no t so much flooded as the Teviot, ° re which latter flood i B e 3 l a l 0. ofß A tr gge 30 t h ; the Tweed on thi s occas i on was much a e ached to within e i g h teen i nc h es of the larger than on tire former, but the Teviot was con siderably less. On both occas ions muc h d amage was done, large quantities of hay ricks, timber, carts, and even sheep have been cried down tho stream. We have now to notice a third flood, g rea t er th an e i t h er of the preceding ones, which took place yesterday (Tuesday). Previous to Sund a y l ast there had been a good deal of rain in this quart er , b ut t h e greater part of the latter day was s I m fai o r s , t awindthueovetn fin. minutes intermis sionS und aynight, however, it commenced to rain h eav ily, an d con tinued until last night. The st reams i n t h e a t t anyo time so, vicinity began, during the time, to show the usual effects, becoming discoloured, and swelling rapidly ; and be tween eight and n nine o'clock l as t n i g h t , t h e Tweed, previous to its junction with the Teviot, was nine inches higher than in 1831 ) and much higher than in either of the cases above alluded to ; and even at Mayfield, below Kelso Bridge (although the Teviot was not beyond the size of an ordi nary flood) it reached to within three feet of the highest mark of 1831. As may be supposed, a considerable amount of havoc has been caused. Immense quantities of timber, rural implements, railway sleepers, and other articles, carried aNs ay from the lower-lying grounds, came down the stream. Several fishing and ferry boats also came down, and one of these, belonging to the person who keeps the ferry at Kelso Ana,, was dashed against the Pier-head, near Kelso mills, and broken to pieces ; another, belonging to Captain Fulton, of the Holmes, near St. Boswell's, was recognised at dr.) Pier-head by his name being up on it, and attempted to be got out by the bystanders ; but after two of t h ree f ru i t l ess en d eavours , i t wa s carried away by the strength of the current. The terrace, known by the name of the Chalkheugh, which is a great height above the bed of the Tweed, and commands a fine view of its junction with the Tevoit, guardedis by a stone wall, beneath which, terraced in the cliff, are small gardens and shrubberies, so that the wall is several feet backward from the stream, as well as a great height above it ; nevertheless, last night between nine and ten o'clock, this wall fell into the green below. young man, son of Mr. John Murray, clogger, who among others, was near it at the time, fell with it ; hut, though the height from the top of the wall is thirteen or fourteen feet, we are glad to say he sustained no further injury than a few slight bruises; the houses on t h e terrace arc only a few feet backward from this wall. The garden wall belonging to Mr. Mein, cabinet-rmler, situated a little lower down the stream, and at the foot of the terrace, fell bodily into the water; there was then nothing left but the loose soil of the garden for the current to act upon ; and it was fortunate that the flood was then beginning to sub side, otherwise the dwelling house itself would have been in immi nent danger. The small river Eden, which falls in the Tweed, b e t ween two a nd three miles below ; this, was also in ;nigh flood the tool house, and other dwellings at Ed nam were inundated by the bursting of a large drain, and the inmates were compelled to leave them.—Kelso Aka.

A gentleman who assumed the name of Henry Phillips was brought before Alderman Wilson, charged with having on the preceding night, at nine o'clock, taken several ladies round the waist in Gracechurch-street. A policeman stated that the gentleman, who was accompanied by another, attracted the notice of people in the streets by the familiar manner in which they claimed acquaintance with several females, who seemed not to relish the liberties they took,, and quickly passed on. The witness requested both gentlemen, who were evidently elevated with liquor, to go home, and one of them wisely took the advice. The defendant, however, not only refused to leave the spot, but to allow the ladies to pass unmolested. He was, nevertheless, cautious enough, when he saw that any female whom he "my cleared" happened to be in the company of a gentleman, to apologise for the mistake. As he seemed to be getting more warm it was considered necessary to cool him in the station-house, out of which place he was bailed at nine o'clock in the morning, so that he was quite long enough there to judge of its comforts. The defendant said he was sure the policeman was in error in saying that he put his hands upon any lady. It was true his friend, in whose company he had been dining out, wished to have a little conversation with the other sex, but he interfered to prevent what he knew was unbecoming steady men of business, and it was while he was engaged in the duty of prevention, that the policeman mistook him for the aggressor, and took him into custody. Alderman WlLSON—Policeman, why did you not se cure the friend of this gentleman ? The policeman—l had enough to do to secure this gentleman, and to save the ladies from his unwelcome embraces. Besides, as the other at once desisted, I allowed him to go on with • out any further delay, and the defendant might have gone away too, but he would insist upon going up to the women. When I told him that I must take him into custody, he looked very big, and said he had been dining with the Lord Mayor.—(Laughter.) Alderman WILSON—Had you been dining with the Lord Mayor? Defendant—Oh dear, no, Sir. I never thought of such a thing. It is pretty well known that if a man dined with the Lord Mayor, it would not be easy to find him in the street at nine o'clock.—(A laugh.) I was dining with my friend over in the Bo rough ; and the fact is we took a little too much. Alderman WILSON—It seems that you drank more, for you certainly behaved worse. You are fined twenty shillings. Defendant—Sir, I thank you very much, I shall pay with pleasure indescribable. Alderman WiLsoN—l would advise you, in your fu ture frolics, not to say you have been dining with the Lord Mayor. The defendant—Oh dear, certainly not. I might have said that I dined as well as if I had dined with the Lord Mayor, but I could not have meant that I had been his Lordship's guest. GUILDHALL. CURIOUS MISTAKE IN IDENTITY.—A young lad, named Edward Grapes, was charged before Alderman Gibbs with having picked a lady's pocket, under the fol lowing extraordinary circumstances: — Mrs. Matilda Everett Bell, of George-street, Hanover square, stated that on Friday last, about twelve o'clock, she was in a pastrycook's shop in Newgate-street, when she observed the prisoner, who was then dressed like a gentleman's son, with another boy, regaling themselves with pastry. On her leaving she felt herself hustled, when she observed the boy run past her with her purse, containing between 61. and 71., which he put in his pocket. She called out, but a mob gathering round her enabled the thief to escape. Alderman Grrms—Do you swear distinctly that the prisoner is the lad you mention as being in the shop, and afterwards taking your purse? Complainant—That is the boy, but differently dressed. Mr. Atkinson, a solicitor, who attended for the pri soner, asked the witness if another party had not been taken up that morning for the robbery? Complainant— I believe so. Mr. Atkinson—Then now look round the Court, and see if you recognise him. Mrs. Bell immediately did so, and suddenly ex claimed, pointing to a young lad, a well-known thief, near her, " They are brothers ; this is the one who robbed me." On this exclamation being made, there was a general clapping of hands from the prisoner's friends; upon which Alderman GIBBS said, that if a similar exhibition took place, he should clear the court. Alderman GIBBS then asked Mrs. Bell if she still per sisted that the prisoner was the guilty party? She said no; that it was the young man to whom she now pointed. They were so much alike. Alderman GIBBS admitted that they were very much alike, and discharged the prisoner, at the same time placing his brother, the young man pointed out, at the bar; but as the lady had so distinctly sworn that the first prisoner was the party who committed the robbery, he was necessarily obliged to discharge him also. Mrs. Bell said that she was not obtaining justice. She only swore to the best of her belief; and if she had known how the case would have been disposed of, she would not have troubled herself by appearing. Alderman GIBBS reminded her that she had sworn dis tinctly to the first prisoner, which was down in evidence, and she could hear it read if she liked. Complainant, however, left the Court rather indignant at the way in which the affair had turned. WESTMINSTER. GROSS OUTRAGE.--Jos. Cooper, and William Osborne, two young men, were charged with the following out rage : Mrs. Sarah Pincher, of No. 5, Cottage-place, Chelsea, stated that she was proceeding from Chelsea to Earl's court, Brompton, about nine o'clock on the previous evening, and when near Cromwell-lane, defendant Cooper came up and took hold of her in a very improper man ner. He then tare her bonnet off and knocked her down with such violence that she was stunned. Her husband, who was only a few yards behind her at the time, came to her assistance, when defendant attacked him, and Osborne struck her. Joseph Pincher, her husband, said that he was walk ing a few paces behind his wife when the two defend ants, another man, and a boy suddenly stopped him near Cromwell-lane, and Osborne asked him to give him a shilling. Witness refused, when Osborne placed himself before him on the footpath, in a menacing attitude, and declared that be would have half-a-crown. As witness thought that Osborne was about to knock him down, he immediately struck him in his own defence, when he was attacked by the whole party. On a sudden he found Cooper beating his wife, and saw him knock her down, and kick her whilst on the ground. The police came up, and defendant ran away, but was pursued and captured. When they first accosted witness he thought it was a joke, until Osborne insisted upon having half-a-crown, and was proceeding to use force. Two constables proved that they found Osborne with his left arm round Mrs. Pincher's neck, and was beating her about the head with the other hand. Both defend ants were sober. Defendants said they just touched the complainants, when the husband struck them both, and they were com pelled to stand in their own defence. Mr. BOND ordered them to pay 50s. each, for each of the two assaults (Si.), or be imprisomed for two months each. LAMBETH. LIBERATION FROM PRISON.—Mrs. Susan Lawrence, the wife of a compositor, who about three weeks ago made a serious charge at this Court against two trades men, of having carried her by force from the residence of her husband, in the York-road, to a house in Orchard street, Westminster, and the❑ drugged her and violated her person, was brought before Mr. Elliott on a charge of having assaulted her husband. The complainant, who is of low stature, said that on Monday week his wife, who had been sent to Horse monger-lane gaol for ten days, for having assaulted one of the parties whom she had accused with abduction, was discharged, and he made every preparation to re ceive her, and had everything necessary for her comfort. He also sent her sister and a respectable female, who acted with great kindness to her, to meet her when she left the prison, and accompany her home. On reaching the prison the parties were informed that his wife had been discharged about an hour before, and they, as well as himself, had naturally concluded she would make her way home as soon as she could. In this opinion, how ever, they were disappointed, as neither on that nor on the following day did she make her appearance, and he, in consequence, went in search of her. He traced her through some of the filthiest dens in London, where she had been with some of her drunken companions, and ultimately found her in a back street with a wretched looking female, and both drunk. As soon as his wife saw him she raised a loud cry, called him all the horrible names she could think of, and made such representations to the crowd that he was followed through the street by a parcel of boys, and it was with some difficulty he escaped serious injury. The wife, who was with some difficulty restrained, and who frequently interrupted her husband while giving his evidence, declared that her husband kept another wo man, and wished to get rid of her. This the husband denied, and witnesses having been called to speak to the drunken and violent conduct of the defendant, she was held to bail for three months. WANDS WORTH. AN AMOROUS OCTOGENARIAN. - Mary Anne Sale, aged about 30, who described herself as a hawker of women's caps and laces, was charged with having robbed Richard Boxhall, a hairdresser, living in the Plain, Wandsworth. The complainant, who is in his eighty-second year, stated that on the previous night he had been to his club, which is held at the Bell, and was returning homewards about eleven o'clock, when he fell in with the prisoner. She got into conversation with him, and followed him into his house. The woman remained in his house from a quarter of an hour to twenty minutes, when he saw his bag, which contained 21. 103. in gold and some silver, lying on the ground empty. He taxed the prisoner with taking the money, and wrenched 11. Is. from her hand; he at the same time saw that she had gold in her mouth, and in trying to get it out she bit his finger. He had no wife, but he denied that he had invited the young woman to his house. She told him she had nu money to pay her lodging, and he gave her sixpence. _ _ Policeman Gardiner, 279 Ir, said, that when called to the house the complainant, although he said he had been robbed, seemed in no hurry to give the prisoner into cus. tody, although he continued the quarrel with her, and at last made such a disturbance that the constable told him he must take him to the station-house if he was not quiet. lie then charged the prisoner with having robbed him, and witness took her into custody. The prisoner had been searched carefully, and only ls. Bd. was found upon her. She was not known to the police. The prisoner said she was an Irishwoman, and since leaving service she had supported herself by selling caps and, laces. On the previous night she had returned from London, and was without the means of getting a night's lodging, when the complainant met her, and Volunteered a lodging in his house, he being, mile said, a single man. He unlocked the house door, and took her in, locking the door after him. He then proceeded to take liberties, which she would not submit to, and to induce her to comply he gave her three sixpences at three sepa rate times. She then tried to leave the house, when he flew at her, and almost throttled her in attempting to get possession of two of the sixpenses, which she had put in her mouth for greater security. She solemnly denied having touched the man's gold. Mr. PAYNTER said, he must send the case for trial, but he should allow the complainant no expenses, as he con sidered he had conducted himself in a very disgraceful manner. THE DOG CART NUISANCE —John Ward, an old man, 70 years of age, who hawks china, glass, and fruit about Surrey, was summoned for the almost obsolete offence of using two dogs for the purpose of drawing his truck. Sergeant Moore stated that on Friday, the 25th ult., he overtook the defendant in the Clapham•road ' - he was holding the handles of a large barrow, or truck, to the fore part of which two dogs were attached ; the truck was heavily laden, and the dogs were exerting all their strength to drag it along. Witness told him he was acting illegally, and must desist. He said dogs were of great use to him, and he should not release them. One of the animals was miserably thin, and unfit to be put to any sort of work. The defendant prefaced his statement by saying that he was 70 years of age, three parts blind, and almost a cripple. He had travelled Surrey for 25 years, and since the passing of the Act prohibiting the use of dogs, had never been molested, and Mr. 'Thomas, the secre tary to the Royal Society tor the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, had told him he could not be fined by any magistrate. He then contended that he only used the dogs as a guard to his truck, when unattended, and put in a drawing illustrative of the position occupied by the dogs on the day in question, as also a written statement, both of which were exceedingly amusing. Mr. PAYNTER fined the defendant ls., and 3s. costs, or seven days' imprisonment.—The old man was removed, declaring he could not pay. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. —Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in•chief, left to-day at noon, on a short leave of absence, to attend the annual meeting of the subscribers to the Royal Naval School, of which he is president. The Avenger steam-frigate, Captain Williams, came into this harbour this afternoon to have her engines and boilers repaired. The Eurydice, 26, Captain T. Elliott, arrived this morning from the Channel squadron. The Eurydice has had eleven trials with the Spartan since leaving England, and in every one she has had great advantage both in speed and going to windward; and she left the squadron of evolution without a dissenting voice. The ships stood thus as to trial:— Eurydice, first; Spartan, second; Raleigh, third; Constance, fourth; Vanguard, fifth; Superb, sixth; Canopus, seventh; St. Vincent and Queen, nearly equal; Albion, Rodney, Hibernia, and Trafalgar, next. Steamers.—Rattler seems the fastest and best; Cy clops, second; Polyphemus, third; Terrible, fourth; Re tribution, far behind. As regards the Eurydice these results must surprise every person interested in naval architecture; when it is considered that the Eurydice (drawing two feet less water than Spartan in sailing trim, and one foot mean draught on even keel, and also stowing her stores and provisions better) has without doubt proved herself the most weatherly and fastest on all points, not only beating the Spartan but the whole squadron of evolution, con sisting of vessels second to none in the service, we feel it must reflect the highest praise on her builder, Admiral Hon. G. Elliot, and her captain (no doubt one of the best ship sailors in the service), who can thus combine speed, stowage, and first rate weatherly qualities, with a light draught of water and one of the most beautiful models above water in the service. The Acheron steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Dun lop, arrived yesterday from Woolwich, and came into harbour this afternoon to embark troops and stores for Ireland. The Belvidera, 38, was brought down from her moor ings yesterday to be coppered and jury-rigged, to be sent to the north of Scotland as a store ship for the re lief of the prevailing distress in that quarter. The Hamoaze, navy lighter, arrived on Sunday from Devonport, with stores. The Sinbad, navy lighter, arrived yesterday morning from the eastern depots, with stores. The Falmouth, navy lighter, sailed this morning with stores for Plymouth, whence she is to proceed, in com pany with the Diligence, naval transport, for Malta, with provisions and stores. APPOINTMENTS. Frederick Marryat, lieutenant, to the Sphynx ; Frederick Brady, paymaster and purser, to the Rattle.. snake ; Hon. S.

PLYMOUTH, OCT. s.—Her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, 120, Captain John Sheppard, bearing the flag, red at the main, of Commodore Sir Francis A. Collier, came in this morning at seven o'clock, under close-reefed fore topsail and double-reefed mainsail. The wind is blow ing a strong gale from the S.S.E. The St. Vincent dropped anchor inside the western arm of the Break water. She is bound to Portsmouth, but put in here through strong contrary winds, and left her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Captain Sir Henry J. Leeke, in the Channel, yesterday afternoon. At eight o'clock the St. Vincent saluted the flag of Port Admiral Sir John West, which was duly acknowledged, and at eleven o'clock she exchanged a similar compliment with his Imperial Bra zilian Majesty's frigate Constitucional. The Diligence storeship, from the eastward, put in on Sunday morning, bound with stores for Gibraltar. The Athol transport came in yesterday from Wool wich, with one company of Sappers and Miners and one company of Artillery for Bermuda, and one company of Artillery for Barbadoes. The Peterel packet came up from Falmouth on Satur day to refit. In the Sound—Her Majesty's ships St. Vincent, 120; America, 50; Recruit, 12; the Athol troop-ship and Diligence store-ship; his Imperial Brazilian Majesty's frigate Constitucional, and the Hon. East India Com pany's steam-frigate Moozuffer, besides several merchant ships, some of which have received damage. The heavy gale, with the high tide last night, did con siderable injury to Mr. Gilts' Millbay Pier. The outer or southern landing platform has been forced up, and the horizontal beams which supported the stage have been in some places broken, and in others, through the strength of the waves, have injured the outer wall in which their ends were lodged. About ten tons of coals belonging to the Cork Steam Packeb Company, some empty barrels and packing-cases, &c., were washed off the pier. The piles which support the outer part of the platform ap pear to be uninjured. Fears are entertained of further damage next tide, and precautions have been adopted to meet any emergency.

ALARM ON THE EDINBURGII AND GLASGOW IZAILWAY.—On Monday last, the passengers by the train that leaves Glasgow for Airdrie at a quarter -past twelve were thrown into a state of great alarm by several of the carriages being thrown off the rails. Happily the train was moving rather slowly at the time, and it was the last four carriages that were thrown off. A part of the railway was torn up ; but with this exception, and the snapping of some of the connecting chains, and the slight concussion caused by the accident, no damage was sustained. Two of the carriages, which could not be got on the line, were left behind, and after the delay of half an hour, the train was enabled to proceed.—Edin burgh Advertiser. WORKS by ROBERT J .
