THE POTATO DISEASE. Pay attention, good reader, we beg, if you please, To say a few words on potato disease. Last year the potatoes were sadly amiss And thousands were robbed of a needful like this. Nor does the calamity any way cease, But, alas ! on the contrary, seems to increase. Ev'ry week, ev'ry day, tells a sorrowful tale, That the crop of potatoes must oartainly fail. Never mind ! we must bear it as well as we can, And try to adopt some remedial plan. Though potatoes are dear oa account of the rot. Let the public remember that clothing is not. E. MOSES and SON sell habiliments cheap, And you'll And at their warehouse a plentiful heap. Although the potatoes have prov'd so unsound, No faults in the garments of MOSES are found. And hence will the public, by purchasing these, Be meeting, half-way, the potato disease. Though one pocket loses by injury done, The other's enrich'd by E. MOSES and SON ; And had we the talent and learning of Plato, We could'nt say more on a " rotten potato." LIST OF PRICES. 1111iDT MADE. £ 5. d.

The expected traffic by the steamers has been ascertained from the most correct data procurable, and the Tables of Traffic, framed with thegreatest care ; and from the calculations made, the receipts of the Steam Packet Company, after making ample deduction for ex penses, will produce at least 7 per cent. upon the capital. In addi tion to this, the calculations show that the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union Railway Companies will be largely benefited by an important inerease of revenue to their respective railways. Arrangements have been made with the' Eastern Counties and Eastern Union Railway Companies, by which the Proprietors of the Steam Packet Company will receive a Dividend of not less than 5 per cent. per annu n on their subscriptions; and therefore the Shares will be distributed among the Proprietors of those two Railway Companies road of the Northern and Eastern, and Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Companies, in the proportion of' 24,000 Shares to the Eastern Counties and Northern and Eastern Railway Compa nies, and 6,000 Shares to the Eastern Union and Ipswich and Bury ' St. Edmund's Railway Companies. The registered Proprietors of the said several Railway Companies, desirous of participating in the benefits of this undertaking, are re quested to signify their intention to take - tilt shares allotted to them by paying the deposit thereon to either of the Company's bankers. The proportion of the Harwich Steam Packet Company's Shares for the holders of the new 141. 16s.

Sept. 17, 1846. (Signed) EDMUND PEEL, Chairman, NORTHAMPTON, BANBURY, AND CHELTENHAM RAILWAY. The Committee of Management, having now ascertained the amount of the liabilities of the Company, and having also fully in vestigated the merits of the project, have much satisfaction in sub mitting the following propositions for the acceptance of the share holders : 1 et. That it is not expedient at present to renew the application to Parliament for the entire line from Northampton to Cheltenham. 2d. That a renewed application be made to Parliament in the next session for a line from Northampton to Banbury. 3d. That for this purpose the capital be fixed at 450,000/., in 22,500 shares of 201. each, which shall be offered to the shareholders in the Northampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham Company, in the proportion of one new share in exchange for every two shares in that undertaking. Parties accepting this proposition will have credit for a deposit of 21. 2s. upon each new share, and will be entitled to receive back 125., the proportion remaining in hand of the deposit of 41. already paid on two shares in the old undertaking. The London and North-Western Railway Company have agreed, under a joint direction, to subscribe one-third of the capital, and to take a lease of the line in perpetuity, with a guarantee of 41. per cent. per annum, and half of the surplus profits. The Committee have great satisfaction in stating that they have no reason to anticipate any opposition to interfere with their obtain ing the Act in the ensuing session of Parliament, and that the traffic on the line will be such as to render it highly remunerative to the Shareholders.

The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, the 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 brilliaitcy 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 dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ; these are entirely obviated by the " PATENT UNIVERSAL 13A5 Bustrimi." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for el üb-housoe,,•hotels. mann fkoto4eoi and publis buildings. . One of thipo small burners is amply sufficient to light a goOd-sized room, 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 May, 1846, Sir Jour/ RENNIE, President, in the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of 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 impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect 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 wills that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third." CERTIFICATE. rOLTTECANIC CnEntice', SCHOOL.—" In testing Clark, Mc Niell, and Co,'s Universa ]Gas Burner with one of the best shawdowless turners, it gave a more pure and brilliant light, with a saving of 20 to 25 per cent." GEORGE CRISP, Engineer, ROUT. LONGBOTTOM, Secretary, CERTIFICATE. " In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niell, and Co.'s Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta Wished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners, N. 4,4 e per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe rior to any other burner." T. W. KEATES, Consulting Chemist, J. D. PALMER, Mechanical Inspector. The UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER is used nightly at the Poly technic Institution, and may be had and seen from 11 till 4, at the Patentees, GO, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross ; and of all Gas Fitters. GENERAL Debility, Pains in the Stomach, and Loss of Appetite cured by MORISON'S PILLS, the Vege table Unive. sal Medicine of the British College of Health, New road, London.—Mrs. Mary Anne Gardener, aged forty-one, residing near the Red Cow Turnpike-gate, St. David's, Exeter, cured of the above complaints, with which she had been afflicted for many years. The particulars of this case are well known to Mr. Havill, of 91, Fore-street-hill, Exeter ; and also to Mr. Tothill, surgeon, Heavitree, near Exeter.— N.B. The public is hereby informed that no chemist or druggist is allowed to sell Morison's Pills ; they are only to be had of the Ilygelan Agents. In places where there is not an agent, the Pills can be forwarded by post, on sending a post-office order to the Britsh College of Health, payable to Messrs. Morison. The British College of Health has now upwards of half a million cases of cure, which amply prove the truth of the Hygelan, or Morisonian system. THE GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER RAILWAY.—At length the long-expected transfer of this line has been made, and on Sunday the South-Eastern Railway Com pany entered on their newly-acquired possession. For some days past surveyors have been taking sections of the line with the view to its future enlargement, the works on which will be commenced so soon as the season is a little more advanced, the extraordinary protraction of fine weather at present rendering this line still one of considerable traffic. PARISH OF ST. MARTIN IN THE FIELDS.— PUBLIC BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.-011 Monday a vestry of the parishioners of St. Martin in the Fields was held, for the purpose of choosing commissioners to superintend the erection and management of baths and washhouses in the parish, in conformity with the reso lution for their establishment, agreed to at a previous vestry meeting a few days ago. The Rev. Sir Henry Dukenfield, Bart., the vicar, having ex officio taken the chair, stated that he had that day received a letter from Sir G. Grey, at the Home-office, communicating his ap proval of their proceedings at the last vestry. An earlier answer would have been forwarded, but it was necessary to see whether any objections would be offered. They were now met to elect commissioners, seven of whom were allowed by the Act. He did not know whether they would appoint the full number, but he trusted that they would be as unanimous as they were on the last occrsion. Mr. Staunton proposed that there should be seven commissioners, which being seconded and agreed to, Mr. Wilson inquired in what way they were to be elected? The Reverend Chairman stated that the Act was constructed as nearly as possible to give parishioners the same power that they already possessed in their vestries. The commissioners would be chosen in the same way as the parochial officers were. The seven commissioners having been named, the Reverend Chairman assured the vestry that the most prompt mea sures would be adopted to carry out the proposition, and that they had the support of the Poor-law Commis sioners. They had no site at present, but when one was purchased, the building should be erected and con structed upon the improved principles of the Baths and Washhouses in Gulston-square and St. Pancras. STEAM POWER ox THE SHANNON.—There are at present on the Lower Shannon, the Tribune and Water witch, screw steamers, trading between Limerick and London ; Garryowen and Dover Castle, paddle steamers, between Limerick and Kilrush ; Stromboli, steam frigate, at Tarbet ; Dee, steam-frigate, at Foynes—both discharging provisions for the Commissariat ; Alban; steam-sloop, and Pluto, steam-sloop, transhipping these supplies to the quays of Limerick. On the Upper Shan non navigation, belonging to the enterprising City of Dub lin Company, for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise, are no less than seven steamers, viz.—Lady Burgoyne, Lansdowne, Clanricarde, Avonmore, Gazelle, Dunalley, and Wellesley. Total of steam-ships, 15. In addition to this fleet of steam craft, the Limerick Ship ping Company have twelve sail of superior fast-sailing schooners, trading direct to and from Limerick sad Lon don, twice a-week, viz. —Alarm, Arbutus, Elizabeth, Belle, Harriet, Ann, Hebe, Eleanor, Undine, Limerick ',sss, Souvenir, and Maria. 'This is entirely inde pendent of the vessels belonging to the port of Limerick, the coasters and foreign traders, which are very nu merous. Mr. D. C. Moylan resumed the revision of the electoral lists for Westminster on Saturday? at the Vice-Chan cellor's Court, Westminster Ha. Mr, William Cribb, of Covent-garden, who had been objected to by the Libertels, appeared to support his vote, and stated that previous to the making out of the list of scot and lot voters he went to the vestry-clerk and inquired if there were any rates due, at the same time offering to pay them. Mr. Trott observed, that the tender was made, not to the collector but to the vestry-clerk. The parish autho rities could not alter mit Act of Parliament, and in this case it was clear the ratsoere z anstaid. Mr. MOYLAN-With respect to' the first point, the word of the Act, " overseers," would include the vestry clerk ; and with regard to the second observation, it is true that the overseers could not overrule an Act of Parliament, but it would be hard to disfranchise Mr. Cribb for their error. The Learned Gentleman said the vestry-clerk must attend on Monday to prove the tender of the rates spoken of by Mr. Cribb. Mr. W. J. Barry's claim on Friday stood over, the Learned Barrister doubting its validity in consequence of the assessed taxes of the house occupied by the claimant not being paid. This omission being upon the part of the landlord, it was urged that it did not vitiate the right of the claimant to be on the register. Mr. D. C. MOYLAN said he had felt a strong adverse opiaion upon the point yesterday, and that opinion was now still more hostile to the claim. Upon looking at the Act of Parliament regulating the payment of as sessed-taxes, he found that if the landlord was charged, and neglected to pay theni,, a levy could be made upon the goods of the occupier. -Therefore in this case Mr. Barry had: become Pablo for, the taxes at the expiration of twenty days after the sth of April, and it was his duty to see they were paid. . - Mr. Trott said there had been decisions in the City of London by , Mr. tntl:111, thought also by Mr. Arnold in favour of _ Tx* s 1614,iFtfid n 54 deWri l NTre hiMtiaiitultedthbie gent In the Ftrish of St. George, Hanover-square, Jamek Covingtnn's name was objected -to by the Liberals.' Covington said he was street-keeper to the Grosvenor Trust, and resided in a house built by awl belonging to the trustees. Before living in that house 'he had been allowed 151. a year for rent, but that was disebntinued on accepting his present dwelling. Mr. Trott contended that the occUpation was merely permissive, as that of a servant for the better gurdian ship of his employer's property. Mr. Score defended the vote. The Learned BARRISTER said, the man Covington paid rent indirectly, but virtually, and therefore the vote must be allowed. The vote of John SoutherwOod, objected to -upon similar grounds, was also retainell. The name of Lord Francis Egerton was expunged from the register, his Lordship having been created a peer. In the parish of St. John; James Massey Wood, &aimed to be placed upon the register. In 1841 he made a claim and was put upon the list. The landlord farmed the taxes. Upon inquiry it appeared that Mr.'Wood had made no claim to be rated this year. The claimant said he had done so in -1841, and did not think it necessary to repeat i$ every year. Mr. MOTLAN said it might be hard, but the Court of Common Pleas had decided that *wit must be done. Claim disallowed. Cornelius O'Driscoll's claim was disallowed, because the landlord had not paid the rates of 1845. The claimant was rated now, but the rate for which he was liable had been made since April 6.th, the period up to which the Act of Parliament reqhires all taxes and rates should be paid. Mr. Trott endeavoured to show that as no rate had become due on the electoral year, from July to July, the claim was good. - • The BARRISTER, however, held tha t although , the un paid rate was made and became Flyable in May, 1845, it remained so in the July follopving, and, not 'having been paid, the requirements of t 12.6 Act of Parliament had not been complied with. Several other parties who had claimed were in it simi lar situation, and their names were consequently emitted from the register. . At four o'clock the Barrister adjourned until Monday at eleven o'clock. SEPTEMBER 28. Mr. MOYLIN resumed this morning the revision of the lists of the parishes of St. John and St. Margaret.. Mr. Cribb, of Covent-garden, WhO bad been'objected to by the Liberals, as not having paid his rates, this morning called Mr. Moseley, the vestry-clerk, Nr.ho said - that a few days before the printing of the lists Mr. Cribb called upon him and _asked whether there was to be any ",trieltery:' about .the rate whiek-lzad just been made. Mosbleyj repliettle_hillevad kit, and ht proof the lists were being printed with Mr. Cribb's name. Mr. Cribb rejoined that he was willing to pay the rate, if necessary, but did not exhibit any money. The BARRISTER said he was afraid he must allow the objection. It was a pity that Mr. Cribb had not gone to the proper person, the collector, instead of the vestry clerk. Objection sustained. In the case of a claimant whose name appeared upon the rate, and against whose elegibility no doubt was raised, Mr. Trott complained of the conduct of the overseers in omitting this person, whose right to be on the register they must have been fully aware of. He hoped that the Barrister would think this a fit case for the infliction of a fine upon the parish officers. Mr. MOYLAN said the case was so clear that the claimant should have been placed upon the register that he could not think the overseers had omitted the name by any wilful neglect, but purely by mistake. Mr. Keene was objected to by the Liberals, on the ground of non-occupation. It appeared that the house had been let furnished during two months, Mr. Keene reset ving to himself one room, used as a store-room, and also the wine cellars. Mr. MOYLAN retained the vote. __ In the case of W. J. Barry, standing over from Satur day, in which the assessed taxes due by the landlord of the house of which the claimant held a portion had not been paid, The Learned BARRISTER said, he was of opinion that the claim could not be sustained, but would grant a case, if desired. A case was then drawn up for an appeal, Mr. Score consenting to become the respondent. The following result of the first two days' proceedings was promulgated by the liberals ; . REFORMERS. Claims.

There were no objections. The Barrister on rising adjourned till Friday next. EAST SURREY. On Monday the revision of the list of voters for the Kingston district of East Surrey was commenced at the Court-houge, Kingston, before Mr. S. C. Fishe, Barrister. Mr. Russell attended for the Liberals and free-traders, and Mr. Ifeymott for the Conservatives. The district includes the parishes of Long Ditton, Ham, Hook, Kew, Maldon, Petersham, and Richmond. The above parishes were disposed of yesterday, but very few objections on either side (two Conservative and nine Liberal) were main tained ; most of them being mere objections of form for the sake of corrections and amendments. In several cases, the persons objected to applied for their expenses, but the Revising Barrister refused to grant them, as it did not appear that the objections were frivolous or vexatious. The list for the parish of Kingston will be taken at the sitting this day. ATROCIOUS CASE AT ROTHESAY.—We regret to state that a very atrocious case just occured at Rothesay. Early in the present month a respectable young female from Hamilton took up her residence in Rothesay, for the benefit of her health, as many persons from all parts of the kingdom have done before her. In taking her quiet and solitary walks, she was accosted by an indivi dual who turns out to be Mr. John Macmillan, a master upholsterer, and no inconsiderable personage in Rothe say, connected with the Free Church, one of its aspiring deacons, ready writers, and distributor of free tracts; and, without going into further details, this Macmillan struck down the poor sickly defenceless girl, and com mitted a foul rape on her person. Her groans and cries were heard at a distance, and she was found besmeared with blood and carried to Rothesay. The villain hims 11 attempted to escape, or to disguise himself with the coolest effrontery in his own dwelling; but the girl's friends, hearing of her brutal treatment, came to Rothe say, and compelled the authorities to seize him. He is now in Rothesay goal on a warrant, at the instance of the Procurator Fiscal. The Sheriff Depute arrived from Edinburgh on Monday, and the proceedings will, of course, be reported to and followed up by the Crown agent, at the instance of the Lord Ad voca t e . What adds to the atrocity of this case is, th a t b es id es wear ing the mask of religion, the alleged cu lp r it i s a mar ried man, with several children.—Scotch Reformer's Gazette. FALMOUTH ROYAL JUVENILE REOATTA._ThiS regatta took place on Wednesday, in Penryn river, when no less than twenty boats competed for the prizes. Every class was well contested for two hours and a half. After the contest with the four classes was concluded, all the boats started for the Sweepstakes. The 11 , tle fleet drew together a highly respectable and numerous company of spectators, who appeared particularly in terested and gratified. —Falmouth Packet. CHATHAM, SEPT. 27.—This afternoon ten detach ments of regiments serving in India arrived at the inva lid depot, Fort Pitt, from Gravesend, where they disem barked from the ship Herefordshire, consisting of 2 ser neants, 1 corporal, and 7 privates, of the 3d Light Dra goons ; 8 privates, 16th, Queen's Lancers ; 10 privates, 9th Foot; 2 sergeants, 2 corporals, and 26 privates, with 2 women, of the 29th Regiment ; 2 sergeants, 1 corpo ral, and 26 privates, with 1 woman and 1 child, of the 31st ; 1 sergeant and 21 privates of the 50th ; 17 pri vates, 53d ; 7 privates, 62d ; 1 corporal, 17 privates, with 4 women and 5 children, of the 80th ; and 1 man of the 10th Foot ; making a total of 152 men ; these being a part of those that were wounded in the engage ments on the Sutlej with the Seikh forces, during the battles of Moodkie and Ferozep )re, under Sir John Littler, and at Aliwal and Sebraon ; and out of that number of men about 130 of them are minus either a leg or arm. One, a very fine young man, Quarter master Sergeant of the 29th Regiment, has his left arm shot off and three of his ribs, which were carried away by a cannon ball. The troops are particularly healthy, very few of them being required to be placed in hospital. These troops left Ferozpore on the 14th of March last, and arrived at Bombay on the 27th of April, having been conveyed in steam-boats from the mouth of the Indus, and they embarked on board the above ship on the 16th of May from Bombay, and taking also a detachment of the 31st Regiment, consisting of 2 ser geants and 66 men, which has joined the depot at , Chatham Barracks. One man of the detachment died and 2 other soldiers during the voyage. The ship put in at St. Helena for water and stores, and they also put in at Fayal, one of the Western Islands, where the officers and men received every kindness from the British Consul, Mr. Mincham, in procuring provisions, as they had been ten days on half rations. Lieutenant M. Deane Freeman, of the 80th, who was shot through the thigh, died on the passage. These troops were in charge of Lieutenant J. I'. Robertson, 31st Regiment, with Quartermaster Thomas Paul, and Assistant-Sur geon W. Rutherford, 62d, and Assistant-Surgeon F. Laing, 3d King's Own Light Dragoons. A detachment of the East India Company's foot and horse artillery, came home in the above ship. THE 37TH REGIMENT. —The bead-quarters of this regiment arrived at this garrison, and quartered in Brompton barracks yesterday afternoon, from Wales ; they left Newport on Thursday last by steam, for Bris tol, which place they left on Friday by railway, and arrived at the Paddington station, were placed in Quar ters for the night, and then proceeded next day by the Blackwell Railway, and embarked in a Gravesend steamer en route for Chatham. The strength consisted of 15 sergeants, 8 drummers, and 225 rank and file, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel 'the Hon. George Augustus Spencer, Captain J. Owen Lewis, Lieutenant W. Joseph Bazelgetta, Lieutenant Charles Lusmore, Lieutenant T. Jackson, EnsignS. Bloys, Pay master William George M. Clibbon, Adjutant James Jones, Quartermaster Richard Hamilton, and Surgeon Alexander Browne, M.D. Two other detachments of this regiment arrived here previously, consisting of 10 sergeants, 2 drummers, and 384 rank and file, under the command of Major . G. W. Francklyn, Captain Harvey, Captain W. Clay, Captain E. D. Atkinson, Lieutenant. R. P. Harrison, Lieutenant S. Le Hunt Hobson, Lieu tenant R. P. Pelly, Ensign J. L. George, and Ensign George 11 D. Piikington. Another detachment, corn. prising two companies, are yet to arrive from Wales. This regiment is expected to be placed under orders for Ceylon, to relieve the 95th. At six o'clock on Saturday morning, the 26th inst., detachment from the Provisional Battalion, consisting of two sergeants, two corporals, one drummer, and fifty privates, marched to Gravesend, where they embarked on board a steam-packet for Harwich, under command of Captain D'Arcey, 65th, and Ensign R. Smith, of the 25th, to relieve a detachment of the 46th, which returns to this garrison to join their four company depOt under orders for Guernsey. THE ARRIVAL OF THE HEAD- QIIARTERS OF THE 57TH REGIMENT FROM INDIA —This afternoon (Monday, the 28th instant), the heed-quarters of her. Majesty's 57th Foot (West Middlesex) arrived at Chatlaam Barracks from Gravesend, when they disembarked from' the ship Mary Ann, consisting of 14 sergeants; 12 corporals, and 165 privates, with 12 women and aCt. children, under the command of Major Thomas Shadforth, with Captain John J. Bull, Captain Edward .Stanieje Lieutenant Robert Hunt, Lieutenant Robert A: Logan;Lieutenant John H. Chads, Quartermaster D. Morrow, and Assis tant-Surgeon J. Jackson. Three of the above officers' wives and three children came with the troops, which ernberked'at Madras and sailed on the 16th April last, and on the 2d July the ship put in at Simon Bay, where they remained thirteen days, and sailed on the evening of the 14th. Captain John J. Bull and Acting Adjutant Thomas J. Grant were made prisoners for reporting that Major Shadforth came on board drunk, and a communication of the report was for warded to the Commander-in-Chief at Cape Town, when Lieutenant-General Sir Peregrine Maitland, caused a Court of Inquiry to be held; and Major Shad forth•proved himself to have been sober, and Captain Bull was ordered by the Commander-in-Chief to be placed under arrest, and kept a prisoner during the voyage to England, and the Adjutant, Thomas Grant, was placed under arrest by Major Shadforth, for pro mulgating the report that he was in a state of intoxica tion. On the 29th of July the ship put in at St. Helena, and took in water, and sailed again on the evening of the 30th. Being short of provisions during part of their voyage, they boarded five vessels to get relieved with provisions, and on their coming down the Channel the compass getting unshipped, in the night they took the Blackness for the Dungeness Lighthouse, when just at daybreak they discovered the error, and fortunately succeeded in saving the vessel from running on shore. They tacked about, and got abreast of Deal, ran up to Margate on Thursday, and arrived at the Hope of the Thames, and towed up yesterday to Gravesend by a steamer. Four soldiers died on board, one private was left at Simon's Town sick, and also Paymaster J. Potter. As soon as the next detachment of this regiment ar rives, the 57th will be removed to Deal Barracks. The head quarters came in with their band and colours, and their -drums and fifes, and played through the town.

CITY OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY! —On Monday the twenty-eighth annual general meeting of the members of this society, which was established in 1820, for the purpose of giving permanent relief, without distinction of religion, sect, or country, to de cayed artizans, mechanics, manufacturers, &c., who may be overtaken by distress, was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. Mr. B. Bond Cabbell, M.P., presided. The report congratulated the subscribers on the support which the institution continued to receive from the public. The contributions had exceeded those of any previous year. The sum of 8991. had been re ceived at the annual dinner, held in the month of March last, 501. of the same being the subscription of the presi dent, the Marquis of Breadalbane. According to the financial statement, the total receipts amounted to 2,3071. 18s., including a balance from last year of 5581., annual receipts 693/. 10s., donations 7771. 45., dividends 2851. Deducting the expenditure, a balance of 484/. remained. Pensioners, both male and female, were ad mitted during the year, and the total now amounted to fifty-three. The report was agreed to. The meeting then proceed to elect officers for the ensuing year, when Lord Ashburton was chosen president. FATAL AFFRAY AT HAREFIELD, MIDDLESEX.— Since Saturday last much excitement has existed in the • village of Harefield, situated four miles from Uxbridge, ' by an affray between some monkey boatmen who were passing up the Grand Junction Canal, which has termi nated fatally to one of the parties. It appears that on Saturday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, two boats laden with coals were proceeding up the canal passing through the parish of Harefield. In the boats were four men, whose names are Carpenter, Compton, William Norman, and George Norman, the last-men tioned being in command of the party. On arriving at a lock Norman blamed Carpenter for some negligence in opening the gat e s, and words ensued, which shortly after led to blows, and the party adjourned to a neigh bouring meadow to have their fight out. They fought for about a quarter of an hour, and then sat themselves down on the grass for a minute or two to get wind, but on Norman attempting to rise be fell backwards on the grass, and died in a few minutes afterwards. The lock keeper sent for Mr. Kidd, surgeon, who promptly at tended and opened a vein, but life was quite extinct. The body was removed to the King's Arms Inn, in the village. Both Carpenter and George Norman have been taken into custody, and on being examined before the Uxbridge bench of magistrates were remanded till Wed ' nesday. SUDDEN DEATH OF A NAVAL OFFICER:-.-011 MCa day an inquest was held before Mr. William Baker, at the Bell and Hare Tavern, Tottenham, on the body of Meeson Drury, aged 80. The decea'ed was a gentle man of considerable fortune, and was a retired officer in the navy. He enjoyed very good health until within the last few days. On Thursday evening last he retired to rest as usual about half-past ten o'clock, and in two hours afterwards his wife was alarmed at his difficulty of breathing. He died almost immediately afterwards. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." SCARCITY IN IRELAND.—At the Privy Council held on Saturday, at Windsor Castle, the Archbishop of Canterbury was directed to prepare a Form of Prayer for the relief of the distress and scarcity now existing in parts of the United Kingdom. LIMERICK, SEPT. 25.—The Comet, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Johnson, arrived from Cork at this port, on Thursday night, and landed yesterday morning twenty boxes of silver coin to the amount of 10,000 L, which were deposited in the Bank of Ireland in • this city. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION. PORTS3IOITTII, MONDA.Y.—The Retribution steam fri gate, Captain Lushington, arrived this morning at Spit head, about nine, and saluted the Commander-in-Chief with seventeen guns, in smart style, which was duly ac knowledged by the Victory. She left the squadron of evolution under the command of Vice-Admirat Sir W. Parker. on Tuesday night, at nine P.M. The squadron then consi,ted of the Rodney, 92, Captain Collier; the Vanguard, 80, Capt'dn Willis; the Albion, 90, Captain Lockyer; the Superb, 80, Cap tain Corry; the Trafalgar, 120, Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer ; the Cyclops steam frigate, Captain Lapidge; the Terrible steam frigate, Captain Ramsay; the Phmnix steam sloop, Commander Dennis; and the Spartan, 26, Captain Symonds,. Th e E ur idi ce , 26 , Captain Elliot, parted company on the same night as the R?tribution, :or England. The Polyphemus steam sloop, Comman der Al' Clearty, parted ✓ company on the same day for Tangiers; and the Rattier steam sloop, Captain Smith, for Gibraltar; the latter, on the day previous, having lost her fore and maintop mast in a he av y squall. The admiral seems to have giren the superiority to the sur veyor's liners in all weathers. The Rattler among the steamers beat every thing; the Terrible was the next in his estimation, and the Retribution next. The Retribution sailed from Cork on the 31st of July, in the evening, at eight o'clock, and arrived at Gibraltar on the 6th of August, at six P.M. (Terrible in company the whole time); she sailed again from Gibraltar on the 9th of August, and arrived at Corfu on the evening of the 16th ; left Corfu with the right wing of the Rifle Brigade, on the 21st of August, and took the route by the Straits of Messina, arriving at Gibr*l ar on the even ing of the 27th. On the 28th the Fairlie and Equestrian transports arrived, and on the 29th left Gibraltar with the Rifle Brigade for the Cape. The Retribution left Gibraltar on the 4th inst., and on the evening of the sth observed Sir W. Parker, with his squadron, standing in to Lagos Bay, where - she joined company. All the ships were -then present except the Trafalgar and Ca tkopur; which latter 'was at Lisbon. The Trafalgar re joined the fleet, that same night, about twelve o'clock. The squadron sailed from Lagos Bay on the Bth inst., after having completed water with great expedition, much to the satisfaction of the Admiral, and arrived at Cadiz On , the afternoon of the 11th of September. The steamers, except the Rattler, were rather behisidhand in getting into the anchorage at Cadiz, particularly the Retribution, which vessel had her floats on and did not anchor before nine that night, owing to strong adverse winds (all the steamers the whole time above detailed being under sail alone). The Terrible carried away ber maintopmast in going in, owing to the bad way in which the topmast rigging is fitted, having so little spread for their lofty masts. This is a defect which all the steamers' hare to contend with. The squadron again sailed from Cadiz on the 17th inst. This time the steamers had all their floats off, and were well able to keep company with the squadron. It must, however, be said that the squadron were never under a very heavy press of canvas, except in light winds, and almost always close hauled. From the 17th, to the 22d inst. the squadron were performing various evolutions (about 20 miles to the southward of Capel Spartell), consisting of "forming lines of ,bearing," " columns," and " line of battle," which were well performed. • It was seldom, after long nights, that any ships of the squadron were found out of their stations, and those. but very little who were so. The Retribution left the fleet about 40 miles due west of Cape Spa,rtel,- on the evening of the 22d inst. (Tues day), bringing dispatches from the Admiral, and arrived at 6pithead, as above detailed, having been under steam and sail the whole way. with fine weather. The St. Vincent, - Queen, and Eurydice may be ex pected shortly, the latter havinc , left the same night as the Retribution; the Queen and the St. Vincent five days previous. Both the Retribution and Eurydice supplied the Van guard With all the provisionS they spare (at sea) before leaving. The Eurydice bad beaten the Spartan (her competitor), both on and before the wind in all the trials they had had, and it is said the Eurydice carried the "cock at her masthead. With - regard to the Terrible, she is reported to be the finest of all the steamers except the Rattler, but might be much improved, especially with regard to her rigging. The crossjack and mizentopsail-yard do not appear to have found favour in the eyes of Sir W. Parker, inas much as 'she was required one day during trial to set those sails, and she signalled " have none," clearly prov ing she only crossed those yards for show (which our readers will remember we hinted at, in drawing a com parison between her and the Retribution, whilst both were in this harbour prior to the sailing of the squadron for Spithead), and which were spare yards belonging to her fore and main masts. On the evening of the Retribution leaving, it was un derstood the Admiral would put his helm up for Tangiers; the same morning, however, the Phoenix arrived with important dispatches from the British Minister at Ma drid for the Admiral, which would perhaps alter the position of the fleet. It was at the same time reported that the Terrible was ordered to proceed to Malta to bring to the fleet as much provisicn as she could carry. The Retribution was inspected by Sir \V. Parker, at Cadiz, who expressed himself much pleased with her efficiency and qualifications. Before she left Corfu her port main crank was cracked, and found defective, end condemned as unserviceable at Lagos Bay, after a strict survey, and her machinery being too powerful, she works much, and cannot stand up under her canvas as a vessel of such immense tonnage ought to do, but this matter is perhaps better explained in the foltovrii g extract of a private letter from a scientific officer of much expe rience:— " However much the opinions of nautical men may have differed in regard to the Terrible and the Retribu tion steam frigates, there cannot now, I presume, be two opinions upon their respective merits. That either of them answer perfectly as frigates is very doubtful; that either of them are worth the large sums of money which have been expended upon them, is equally doubt ful; and that the latter vessel is the greater failure of the two there can be no doubt whatever. On the of August both vessels started from Cork together for Corfu, and, generally speaking, the Terrible was en abled, from the great power of steam, to proceed nearly as fast with two boilers as the Retribution could with three. When the latter became very light she certainly git on better; the consequence of this was, that the Terrible burned much less coal on her voyage than her companion. With regard to the stowage of troops, the Retribution had the best of it, owing to her having a lower and flying' deck, the latter stowing the whole of the baggage, whilst the Terrible had to carry much on deck, thereby cumbering her guns, &c. This, in deed, is the great fault of that ship (the Terrible), owing to the manner in which her constructor has placed her boilers, viz , in line, extending over two-thirds of the main deck; the consequence is, that though upwards of 200 tons larger than the Retribution, she has, in reality, a shorter main deck. In point of sailing, how ever, she certainly in a breeze has a great advantage, being enabled to stand up under her canvas, whilst the Retribution is buried, heeling over in a royal breeze 10 and 11 degrees. In fact, the crankness of the latter ship was the astonishment of the whole fleet, and well it might, for when at anchor she never has a list either to port or starboard (according to the anchor down) of less than four, and sometimes five degrees ; and this I fully believe to be the sole cause of the Retribution's being now sent home disabled, for what machinery could stand being eternally laying over on its side ? Moreover, the ship is not strong enough for the heavy (800) horse power machinery, even if she did stand upright. * * " The Eurydice beat the Spartan both off and on the wind ; Captain Elliot, however, has declared his inten tion of leaving her. " The Vanguard beat the Superb and the rest on a wind. " The St. Vincent, Qaeen, and Eurydice are on their way ; the first and last to Spithead, the Queen to De vonport. " The Admiral is gone to Tetuan ; the Terrible to Malta for provisions." The Favourite, 18, Commander Murray, was at Sierra Leone on the Ist of August. The Spanish felucca, name unknown, driven ashore by her Majesty's ship Flying Fi s h, o ff Elmina Chika, on the 17th of April, lost, by capsizing in the surf, and drowned, IL J. Robins, senior Lieutenant of the Flying Fish, and four seamen. It was a new vessel and direct from Barcelona ; her main yard was upards of 120 feet in length, and she was capable of carrying between 300 and 400 slaves. WooLwica, SEPT. 28.—The Grappler steam-vessel has been commissioned at Woolwich by Lieutenant H. S. Hawker, who will command her, and she is taking on board stores for service. The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master Commander S. B. Cook, is under orders to proceed to Rotterdam on the Ist of October, with her Royal Highness the Princess of Prussia. It is expected that another Royal Princess will return in the Black Eagle, on a visit to this country. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master Commander Petty, when passing through the Downs, made inquiries of the various Government vessels she met in her course if they had seen the Kestrel yacht, having been ordered to Portsmouth to meet that vessel and tow her, with the remains of the late Earl of Yarlborough, to Grimsby, for interment in the family vault. In one of my former communications I stated that Captain Johnson, when adjusting the compasses of her Majesty's vessels at Greenhithe, had been under the ne cessity of framing tables for iron vessels to steer by, varying from those constructed of wood to a full point of the compass, and that in some instances the variation was so great, that a vessel steering due north would have her compass pointing west. It is more than probable it is owing to the Great Britain being constructed of iron, and the possibility of alterations being made in her with out again adjusting her compasses, that she ran aground on the coast of Ireland. The Plover surveying -vessel, Captain Collinson, C. 8., arrived at Woolwich yesterday from China, and is to be paid off here. The men commenced taking down her rigging to-day. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having given Mr. Haig the use of the Ariel steam-vessel. formerly one of the Dover packets; she has been titled with his smoke-consuming apparatus, and went down the river to-day to ascertain its operation and capabilities of generating sufficient steam for the service of the engines. Mr. Haig's invention re quires no steam funnel, and the principle of its construc tion appears admirably adapted for the consumption o f.. smoke. Lieutenant Vansittart, of the Gladiator, arid - Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer at Woolwich dockyard, went on board shortly before twelve o'clock, and the furnaces having been previously ignited the steam was got up, which is effected by five or six men turning a winch) attached to wheels and 'pinions causing the rapid revolu- r tion of a fanner, across which the smoke endeavours to eicape on its emerging from the furnace; but instead of escaping into the atmosphere, it is mixed with pure air and forced below the furnaces to nearly the front, where~ it is conducted by tubes, and, ascending through the bars into the fire, is partly consumed, and any portion that escapes is again arrested in its progress to the at moThere by the fanners, and passed through the fur naces until every portion is consumed. On the Ariel leaving her moorings an endless belt was made to give_ the motion to the fanners, and they revolved with great . velocity, causing a bright clear fire in each of the four, furnaces, and generating, although iu old and incrusted boiler., a sufficient quantity of steam for working t engines. The vessel proceeded down the river beyond Erith, and made several turns with and against the tide, without any smoke appearing to emanate from the works. The inventor laboured under considerable disadvantages during the trial, in consequence of the leather strap becom ing loose several times. A similar diiadvantage occurred the first time the screw-propeller was tried in the Rattler steam-vessel, but the dialculty was easily over come by the intriduction of cog-wheels, and the screw pr,pelJer now bids fair to supersede paddle-wheels for propelling steam-vessels. The application of cog-wheels, to Mr. Haig's invention would give any degree of power, and prove regular in their operation, and in large vessel* propelled by the screw, or even in vessels of moderate size, the whole apparatus could be fitted between decks. The Ariel returned to Woolwich at 5 o'clock, and during her progress appeared to surprise the passengers in the numerous river steamers who witnessed her going at full speed without a smoke funnel.

SMOKE PREVENTION. - After 'the Court of Common Council ,determined ou Wednesday to petition both Houses of Parliarnent to. prohibit the interment of the dead Within, the City; discussion, of which the following is an abstract,' took place upon Mr. , Anderton's motion; the successful restl of which we mentioned yesterday, to petition Parliament, to- prevent nuisances arising from steine•engines and furnaces in manufactories and.buildings. Mr. ANDERTOA, in bringing forward the motion, said it was one upon a subject of as much importance ha that with which the Court had been just oceupied. There was not an individual present who would not agree With him that the• nuisance of smoke We's* one of the most intolerable annoyancee to which the population'' of tendon Were subjected. It wasimpossible -to' pee - seovtre * • _- 'London-bridge Without witnessing ine - disgastingeeffects, but the injury i.t inflicted. upon _the t pilbli6leettith much more serious than the shoWit gave ick the Publio taste, and, the discolcirationeeit -gave _to the public. e , buildings.

Mr. KING said he.would snpport.the niati4n if it were referred to a committee to draw up the petition, Mr. R. TAYLOR said he spoke from experience when • he said nothing : objectionable could arise from the pro cess of prevention.—(Heir, hear.); There was,in feet, no occasion at all for smolre . e ' ands the - removal of tie nuisance could be effected in the most extensive cases at_ a very small cost. Those who saie,hise(lir. TaVor l s). steam engines at work would not imagine, from lookiug at the vents, that they vvere at work at Pall ; fersthey • - were so constructed as to be capable of. consuming their own smoke, and not the slightest - annoyance was pro duced when they were in full operation.--(Hear, hear.) Mr. AITCHESON said that Mr. Mackinnon, who had, he believed, the charge of the Parliamentary procedd ings upon the subject, had met with considerable difl - 1- culties, and as it was a subject which involved very large interests, it ought, in his opinion, to be referred to a committee.—(Hear, hear.) Dr. LYNCH said, the atmosphere of large towns was exposed to many causes of vitiation, from which the country was free. The famous &Ms-Evelyn, in the Charles IL, recommended the removal of all Mainiqe - - turing establishments from towns. If it were known how soon and how fatally the impurities, arising on every side, from factories, laboratories, breweries, and gas-works, vomiting forth tons of carbon, and other deleterious agents, and polluting the vital air, in which "we live, and move, and have our being," were mixed with the blood, and incorporated with the system, they would not be tolerated a single hour.—(Hear, hear.) To the open spaces, which were few and far between, the poor, after their day's toil, in vain resorted for pure air. In cities, where wealth accumulated, poverty was banished from its abode, regardless of the misery it had been proved to create. When splendour usurped the surface, ch grada tion was compelled to burrow in the earth—space was too extensive a luxury—square feet were sold for guineas. In the alleys, or nests, or horrid holes where miser able wretches lived and clung together, like bats in unfrequented vaults, there the leaven of sickness and contagion never ceased to work—there the mortality was 1 in le. From such places they turned out for better air. They found their health was sacrificed to the cupidity of the few. The atmosphere which Ged had so lavishly provided, which was the first and last food of man, which it was the duty of a good Government to preserve uncontaminated, was poisoned to make a few master men rich.—(Cries of " Hear, Lear" and murmurs.) In a London atmosphere all plants perished. Next i susceptibility and tenderness was the child. The mor tality in close neighbourhoods was more than one balf. In adult life more than 100,000 passed annually through fever. The deaths in England in one year from pre ventable disease, typhus, the scourge of the poor, were frightfully numerous. Fever, like the plague, might be averted by proper sanatory enactments. It was singular that the primary requirements of life which Heaven had so bounteously distributed to his creatures, were placid be yond the reach of the masses. The nobleman retired to his lordly mansion—the aristocracy of the city to their Tusculan villas at Brixton, Clapham, end Norwood— the productive classes, like the galley-slave chained to his oar, were confined to the vicinity by their occupa tions, and seldom or never inhaled a breath of fresh air.— (Loud cries of " Hear.") The next beet blessing was a plentiful supply of pure water, tuns of which were about fourteen feet below the surface, but they dared not dig for it. The water was a monopoly in the hands of a company, whose shares had risen from 1001. to 14,0001. each. These things must not be. The cruel monopoly must be broken in pieces. The welfare of society de manded it. The Corporation was, by law and ancient usage, the guardian of the public health. It must assert its high and holy prerogative. London could be made as wholesome as the Surrey hills by perfect sewerage, by plenty of pure water, and by carrying out the ad mirable scheme of Mr. Anderton.—(Hear, hear.) Science had invented adequate means to consume the smoke. The object must be enforced by the highest penalties. Cholera threatened to revisit us. It was following its former route—where typhus was found cholera existed, the map of one indicated the other ; the best preventives were good air, good living, and good water.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Lord John Russell had pledged himself to early out a great and comprehensive sanatory law. He was perfect master of the subject. He was deeply penetrated with the evils of the poor. He sympathised with their sufferings, and has resolved to remedy them.—(Hear, hear.) The wealthy order - perceived, by the report of the health of towns, that the effects of the wretchedness of the masses might reach them.—(A laugh.) That disease was of an infectious character, as likely to rise in the upper regions as to spread in the lower ranks, and that the interests of all classes were identical. He hoped the Corporation would second the holy and noble disposition, and that the neglect of justice would be overtaken by the energies of g enerosity, the claims of humanity met by the re cognition of its rights, and the horrors of disease and death obviated by a wise, kind, and liberal legisla tion.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BENNOCH said, that it might be imagined from the manner of Dr. Lynch that the Court were opposed, in stead of being unanimous on the subject. Ile (Mr. Ben noch) warmly approved of the proposition of Mr. An derton, and he did not know there was a single dissen tient, notwithstanding the vehemence just displayed.— (" Hear, hear," from Dr. Lynch.) Mr. HAnsusoN said it was easy enough to petition Parliament to relieve the public from smoke. Ile had no idea at all to what extent the interference would bo efficacious. He had not heard whether the preventative process was applicable to marine or locomotive engines. Mr. ANDERTON—Not the least doubt of it. You can see its operation easily. Mr. HARRISON—I do not Imaisay the fact, and I ehalli upon your authority for it Act, vote for your motion. Mr. PRIOR said that be felt great interest in the ques tion. He knew that experiments had been ineffectually made in many extensive manufactories. He had himself set up all night open many occasions superintending the application, but he had not observed its availability tie any extent. He confessed too that he thought there w,.3 a good deal of morbid feeling mixed up with the que,- don, and that it would be most dangerous to the poor population to hazard the loss of the extensive mimutee. tories which were carried on with, and could not be car ried on without smoke. After a few words from Mr. NORRIS in favour of Mr. Anderton's motion, it was carried by acclamation. ANOTHER RISE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.— On Monday the bakers increased the price of their bread in several parts of the metropolis. The price of the 4;b. loaf was increased to eightpence-halfpenny. !'t"i"i
