LATER from the UNITED STATES LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The arrival at this port of the packet-ship Stephen Whitney, Captain Popham, has put us in possession of files of papers from New York to the date of her sailing, the 13th of January, she having made the voyage in nineteen days. The debate in the House of Representatives upon the question that twelve months' notice be given to Great Britain of the termination of the joint occupancy of the Oregon territory continued before the House, which had resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House from day to day, the speakers being for the most part in favour of the notice being given, whilst a few wished to place the power to give notice in the hands of the President,, to use his discretion ; but as it is most pro bable the House will carry the resolution in the affirma tive, it is desirable to impress upon the minds of the public that the decision of the House is always under the control of the Senate, to whom we must really look for a decision of this important question. The Washing ton correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer, writing on this subject, remarks : " The Oregon debate is now fairly opened in the House, that body having to-day referred to the joint resolution to give notice, to the Committee of the whole, where there will be a full discussion. I hope that neither the commercial comunity, nor capitalists will be in the least agitated by the course the debate may take in the House. It is certain that resolutions in favour of giving the notice will pass that body, and whatever of warlike declamation members may indulge in, should be. suffered to pass idly by. It is action in the Senate that should be closely watched: if there the indica tions shall be in favour of giving the notice, then prepara tion should be made for the worst. As yet there have been no developments either in the Senate or out of it, to justify any settled conclusion as to the result in that body, but the hope is strong that the council of moderation and wisdom will prevail, and that the whole subject will be left with the Executive, in the hope that an adjustment of the question may yet be accomplished by negotiation. The debate appeared likely to last some time, and is fully reported in the public papers, being only remark able for the occasional viol'nce of the speakers. We omit even an abstract; but shall look anxiously to a future arrival for the result. In the meantime the negotiations between Mr. Pukenham and the American Government had not been renewed. Commercial affairs at New York were dull, and the money and stock markets or. the Bth, 9th, and 10th had been influenced by a panic. The Courier and Enquirer says, that on the 10th the panic was as great as ever, and as inex plicable as panics usually are. The nearest explanation we suppose is, that the stocks have been held in large amounts by a few hands, and that the scarcity of money compels the sale of them, and they are thus forced upon a market in which, for the same cause, buyers are scarce. The rate of exchange is nominally 1081 to 1084, as no business was doing. This accounts well enough for the stock panic ; but what causes the scarcity of money, while exchanges are all in favour of the United States, and commerce generally is on a sound footing ? Here political apprehension has its part ; to which add—as has heretofore been frequently said by us—the large sums locked up in flour speculations, and the rather stringent retrenchment of the banks, within the last sixty days —and we have probably the solution of the question. The sales at the Board of Brokers this morning were to fair extent. Ohio Sixes declinel Ilinois Bonds Harlem Railroad 3, Erie Railroad 2, Farmers' Loan 1, Morris Canal Long Island Rail road 31, Canton Company 31, Norwich and Worcester Railroad 3, and Reading Railroad 1 per cent. An parties, speculators and buyers, in the flour and cotton market, are eagerly looking out for European news ; and as our last dates from England were of the 4th ult., we may reasonably expect about this time to receive by the sailing packets some days later intelli gence. The steamer of 4th instant can hardly be looked for before the 20th instant, and the intervening ten days may furni.h a chance for the sailing packets. AMERICA via HAVRE. lIAYRE, FRIDAY.- This morning the Albany, American picket-ship, reached the port of Havre, having left New Yo:k on the II th of January instant, and bringing with news of the continued discussion of the Oregon question on the 6th, 7th, and Bth. Everything con nected with this irritating subject appears to have an absorbing interet in France, as well as in England; but, with the utmost desire to extract something of im po..tance from the journals brought by this vessel, we find nothing more than a meagre account of speeches apparently uttered because the people expect it. On each of these three days two gentlemen have addressed the House of Representatives, which had gone into a Committee of the whole Rouse on the proposition of re nouncing the treaty of 1827 ; and, taking their addresses as a whole (in the way they are given in the Courier of the United States), they appear to balance each other— one being for and the other against the proposition. The most remarkable address is that of a Mr. Bowlin. who declares he will not concede one inch, even if it were to avoid a war, but that he would willingly give up the whole territory of Or.•gon to have a war, which he ap- pears to think would teach European. the value of liberty. We received last night from Liverpool papers of the 9th ult. from Charleston, brought to that port by the Marathon, Captain Johnson. \%e do not find in them any news of interest to the English reader. NUHEROUS FIRES on SATURDAY. Not fewer than six fires occurred in the metropolis on Sa• turday last, involving the destruction of a considerable amount of property. The first broke out in the extensive manufactory of Mr. Jones, cabinet-maker, &c., No. 23, Castle-street, Finsbury, not far north of the square. A constable, who was going to his home from night duty, discovered the outbreak. Not withstanding every possible exertion was made by the fire men and a large body of assistants, the flames were not sub dued until the workshops and a great quantity of mahDgany and veneering were destroyed. The extensive and valuably stocked premises belonging to Mr. Haddon, printer, were also much injured by the combined action of fire and water, as were also houses contiguous to and fronting the fire. Subjoined is "Mr. Braidwood's official report of the die • aster.:—" Fire upon the premises of Mr. Wil:iam Jones, cabinet-maker, No., 23, Castle street, Tabernacle walk.

At half-past seven o'clock, another fire broke out upon the premises in the occupation of Mr. James Sugar, corn and coal-merchant situate at 14, 15, and 16, Kingsland•road. A considerable quantity of straw and flour was destroyed, anti the building much injured by tire, and the remaining part of the contents by water. Caused from the falling of a spark from a candle amongst the straw. Building and contents insured in the Sun Fire-office. A few minutes after noon, another outbreak occurred in the horsehair manufactury of Mr. J. Adams, George-street, Spital fields, from the over-heating of the drying stove. Here the firemen had a most difficuit task, the smoke from a vast body of cocoa-nut fibre ne irlv blinding them. A capital stop. however, was effected. N r ot insuri ed. About five in the afternoon considerable damage was done to the building and furniture of the Piazza Hotel, Covent garden, kept by Mr. G. Cuttris, through a defect in the kitchen flue. Fortunately assistance was rrinnptly rendered by the brigade force, and the extensive building and its con tents saved. Contents insured in the Licensed Victuallers; building in the Sun. About GO planks of deal wore burned by an accidental fire up in the premises of Messrs. Job and Co., Commercial saw mills, the same day; besides which there were two other outbreaks of a trifling character. -------- EL EPRAMTS.—Two elephants passed through the Strand Yesterday, followed by a large n umber of persons.

L—This morning, at an early hour, the doors of the Cathedral were besieged - with hundreds anxious to hear Dr. Pusey, and on being opened every available place for hearing within the building was immediately filled. The i Vice-Chancellor, attended by thirteen of the heads of houses and both the proctors, having, with some ditlicalty, made their way through the dense crowd, took their seats about half-past ten o'clock, and Dr. Posey having ascended the pulpit, and made the bidding prayer, took the 20th chapter of St. John, and the 21st to the 23d verse for his text— " Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you ; as my Father hath sent me so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost : whosoever's sins ye remit are remitted unto them ; and whosoever's sins ye retain, they are re tained." Dr. Pusey commenced with a slight allusion to his suspension, which he spoke of as a judgment from the Al mighty for his secret sins. In that sermon he had never in tended to speak controversially, but there were those who thought that when particular mention was made of the chan nels of grace that they forgot him who was the means of grace. He wished rather to have dwelt on those gifts conveyed in the Eucharist on which they might have all been united. He dwelt on that sacrament first, as the means by which the sinful body was made clean ; secondly, as a comme morative sacrifice—quoting, in support of the latter, Bishop Wilson's prayer before administering the sacrament, that the minis ters may be worthy to offer the sacrifice ; the clergy acting not instead of, but as ministers of Christ. Dr. Pusey then arrived at the great subject of his sermon—viz., private confession and absolution. God alone can forgive sins; but would he forgive them less by conveying his forgiveness through ministers. When, in the words of his text, he said " Receive ye the Holy Ghost ; whosoever's sins ye remit are rem itted unto them," who honoured him most, those who observed the commend, or those who neglected it ? In the daily prayers of the Church confession and absolution pre ceded the Lord's Prayer, and it made them fitter to hear his Divine word, and join in praise and thanksgiving. In private absolution the Church spoke words which, if she were not authorised to use, were nothing less than blasphemy : "I absolve thee from all thy sins, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost ;" and in the ser vice of the Visitation of the Sick, the Church exhorted her priests to move sick persons to make confession of their sins. The Doctor then spoke of the "intense longing" of the penitent for absolution, and the " thrilling awe " of the priest, when he used the words, "By his authority I absolve thee," and that in the name of the Trinity. In speaking of the doctrine of the keys, of the power to loose and to bind, he all u d e d t o th e lost discipline of the Church, and that the Articles of the Church allowed the power to bind. The office of the clergy in the present day was not so much with the power to bind as with the power to loose to the penitent, to minister to those who want comfort. In healthful times the power of the key was not doubted, the submission to the discipline of the Church showed the acknowledgement of her power of forgiveness. The discip line was the token of the power to loose sin. No one then said by what power or authority do you do these things ? Do the lame walk ? Do the blind see? And when asked how they chid them, they might sly with St. Peter, "through faith in his name." The practice of the Church became the commentary upon the word. For instance, infant baptism showed the command conveyed in the words "suffer little children to come unto me." The Church proposes, faith receive, and the Holy Spirit works. The doctrine of the keys was authoritatively given three times before the Resur rection, to St. Peter, "I give unto thee the keys of Heaven," and then to all the apostles, at their solemn inauguration, "As my Father sent the so send I you." The greatness of the power thus given to men was indeed sufficient to make them tremble. What angel in Heaven could have used such words so comforting to the peni tent ? By baptism they were brought into the fold ; by absolution they were restored who had broken away. All sins were forgiven, none were excepted, great and small ; all may have pardon who are penitent; none are excepted " whose sins ye remit are remitted unto them ;" full, present, absolute, and universal forgiveness. Many object to the idea, that power is given to those who may abuse it. Did they not find the Almighty showing his power in the weakness of his instrument? As examples, Joshua commanding the sun to stand still, and the spirit with which Paul answered Fclix. .... It is not the man who speaks, but our Lord by the Spirit. Dr. Pusey instanced the incarnation as showing the convey ance of grace by man ; the Passion as bestowing the fruits of the Spirit through suffering, and love in the relieving of others who suffer. If any were deluded by the feigned repentance of others, God was the judge; yet God doth not the less convey grace through his servants, although some use it wrongfully. Baptism was not the less the lava of regeneration because some received it not in faith, nor the Holy Eucharist less the means of grace because some received it unworthily to their own damnation. his whole object, in the series of sermons he had preached, was the comf , rt of penitents. The Church allowed private confession, and, quoting the words of Latimer, " Would to God it had ever been kept in England." They might, however, be thankful that it was not compulsory, but dia• the working in the Church was now from within. The discipline of the Church did not constrain the disobedient, but allowed them to bind up the broken-hearted. They could not bear the sudden reitora ' tion of its discipline; let them wait patiently for the Lord's doing :—" The people shall be willing in the day of thy power." All will be well if man attempts not to outrun Goat. Dr. Pusey then alluded to an " lufidel in another laed," who spoke of the corruption of the power of the key. It de pended on the clergy, whether the power they had lifted nearer Heaven or placed them deeper in Hell ; whether more blessed or more deadly in its effects. The aid of constant prayer was necessary. They were not so much in peril when they feared, as when they feared not. He then spoke of the unhindered pride and corruption of the tens of thousands now growing up in the manufacturing and mining districts, whose hearts were not opened to parent or to priest, but to Satan. After some quotations from Bishop Andrews and others, he spoke of those who being contrite of sin, however deadly, still, if wishing to be absolved, they were absolved, and if the individual knew not to whom he could turn, let him use the daily and the Eucharistic Confession, applying it to his individual sins, and although lie might think the absolu tion powerless, it was not really so, but that the repentonce was insufficient, otherwise he might embrace its full effect, the same as if individual imposition of hands had taken place. The te storation of private confession the preacher spoke of as being full of difficulty. Blessed as the office was, still ex • penance showed it to be full of peril, and only to be sought with repentance and mortification by those who are seeking to live to God. Sin was awful to handle, it was difficult to hear and not be defiled. They must keep jealous watch over themselves, framing themselves with discipline, taking care not to be blind leaders of the blind ; hate all sin, that they may teach others to hate; fervent in prayer, that others may be fervent; loving much, because much has been forgiven them, they may show it in their love for others. The power of the keys was not a new doctrine, nor had it ever been wholly disused by the Church, although much overlaid during the last century. Its revival had originated not in the agency of man, but in penitents, who had received gifts of grace, not from man, but from the Lord, through his Holy Sacrament. If any felt the burden of sin, or of any particular sin, it might be a blessing to those to know that some who had been once burdened were now lightened and going on their way joyfully; formerly the slaves of sin, were now the servants, who had been struggling with sin, were now striv ing joyously for their God. Dr. Pusey then called the atten tion of those who were tutors in the colleges to the oppor tunities they had, and the duties of their station, acting in the place of parents and guardians, in the blessings they might thus confer on their pupils. They needed no new re lation between the clergy arid the laity, but only to bring into power the resources of the Church. Nor must they be disappointed if they did not find instant reli e f f or t h e i r s i ns. None ever prayed • to their Heavenly Father with sincerity and received a stone. The more their longing the greater his grace. If penitence on their part was sincere, the resto ration to grace on the part of God would be complete. The Church did not object to penance; she still rehearsed the examples of Ahab and others in the Old Testament—of fast ing and mourning in the New. It was better to repent any how than not at all. Evil days. perhaps, were coming upon them, even the last strife previous to the last day may now be coming. But if they trusted in God he would save there. With some, if released from sin and content, they might go on their way peacefully; with others, brands plucked from the fire by self-denial and mortification, might be means of rescuing others, and be chosen to suffer fir his namesake in fasting and in strife, even "in deaths oft," bearing about with them the dying cf the Lord Jesus; and thus is life working in them, who, through theta, knew him, meeting with their reward in the last day, when he shall say " Well done thou good and faithful servant." The above is a brief outline of the sermon, which occupied nearly an hour and a half in delivery." TO MR. 'WEBSTER OF AMERICA. Sir,—The question in regard to Oregon has excited so much dilcus6ion on both sides of the Atlantic, that I shall take my stand, as far as possible, from the main part of it, in order to view the conflicting parties more dispassionately and more distinctly. lam confident we shall meet on the subject with the same equable and unbiassed judgment, as when we c , nversed in England on matters of less excitement. It is evident to me that the better informed part of the Americans are convinced that their claims are untenable; and that the worst informed, and worst intentioned are still more firmly convinced than they. For no honest man will shrink from ar bitration. No honest man, who entertains a doubt of any right, will assert that right from controllable arrogance, or from imaginary expediency. In my opinion the courtesies and civi lities of private life ought to be carried into public, and even extended. I believe you are capable of deciding even your own cause with impartiality; but the eye sees with more clearness what is not too near. Believing that much of the assumption and insolence of your slave-dealers was encouraged by our supineness on the aggressions of France, I cannot but express my surprise that the wisest and most courteous of her Kings, and most honest and temperate of her Ministers, should have interfered at all in the affairs of Otaheite ; but it will be incredible to future historians that, because we had committed no wrong on the inhabitants, by seizing and governing the territory—because we had only taught them, for half a century, the arts of peace, and the duties of reli gion, it was allowed them to extinguish both, and to convert the island into a brothel, under their protectorate. Still, I am of opinion that a better sentiment than outraged dignity withheld us from chastising, with renovated vigour and effect, a restless and reckless nation. The same sentiment is no less strong, and no less becoming, on the present occasion. Physically and morally, the English would suffer much from hostilities with America, but America will suffer greatly the most. Do you imagine that we should be so insane as to send an army into Oregon, or even a fleet to the coast ? No, indeed : but we might, for the first time, attempt to effect by concilia tion and flattery what we usually do by force. Supp ose a man of high rank and distinction landed in Hayti, with gifts and de corations from a young and lovely Queen : suppose he appealed to him not merely as sovereign of a rich and fertile island, of a brave, high-minded, and military nation, but as a universal defender and protector of all the blacks. Suppose he offered him five million dollars yearly to enable him to accomplish hiiigrand pl an o f emancipating them all, by means of ten or twelve thousand men debarked on your southern states; what train of artineTrhe English think you? ilt need only transports, with a small y, a few riflemen, and a few troops of dis mountedcyazalreoy . 0 tMryanbye dnegba,,rkeitltipon4pmariegdhtfobre them,mal :,:thhde promised the property of thweinrrni:aters, together with the you wr e the l m t , tff d i u md ring the term o m f a f s o te u r r s te a e n n d N t . h e e a i r r s, fa i m n il to send no thate country if you troops into Canada, nor could you conounerit did.

His Excellency Mr. M4Llme, the American Minister, had an interview with the Earl of Aberdeen on Thursday last, at Argyll douse. The conference lasted near l y two hours, EXTRAORDINARY HIGH TIDES IN THE WEST. On Thursday morning last, a high tide, unprecedented in the memory of the most aged inhabitant of the town, raised the waters of the Usk far above its banks, inundating a con siderable portion of the town and neighbourhood, presenting scenes from the churchyard of St. Woollooe, the barracks, and other elevated situations, of a romantic and alarming character. In casting the eye towards the moors, which seemed like a stupendous lake, the various farm-houses ap peared as solitary specks in the wide waste of waters. The tide was up within three inches of the top of tut- dock gates, exceeding by a foot the memorable sp r i ng t id e w hi c h took place in March, 1842. We regret to state that the damage and loss, in various ways, have been extensive and serious. The road from Newport-bridge to Fair Oak Hill, and a part of the Chepstow-road, were impassable 'until the ebbing:of the tide. The Abergavenny mail was obliged to go through the Fair Oak Common, and it was with the greatest risk and difficulty that Mr. Thomas, the careful driver, was able to make his way to the main road. It is said that several families residing in the moors can only leave their dwelling in boats, and that others are confined by the surrounding waters to the upper rooms of their houses. The swelling of the waters is attributed to the strong south-west gales, combined with the heavy land floods. As an instance of the force of the current of fresh water, we have heard that a wreck, with a buoy there on, lying at the river's mouth, in ten feet at low water, has been driven a mile further into the channel from her former position, upon which a fresh wreck buoy has been placed by our active harbour- master, where there is only five feet at low water. During the last fortnight, and in the heavy gales and thick weather, a ship, at present unknown, came in contact with the beacon on the Monkstone Rock, and carried the same away—she is supposed now to be in our port. If this should meet the eye of the master of the said vessel, it would be much wiser for him to report the same at the harbour-office than to run the risk of incurring the heavy penalty attending the concealment of the same. Such has been the fresh in the river Usk during the last week, that the flood was higher by three feet, under the Castle Mount, at Abergavenny, than has ever been known. We are also cre dibly informed that two breaches have been made in the sea wad to the westward of our river, and that many serious losses have occurred in the cattle, sheep, &c., and that even the lives of individuals have been endangered in endeavour ing- to save the same. --Monmouthshire Merlin. SwaNsEA.—During the past weak, especially on Wednes day and Thursday, this town was visited with extraordinary high tides, which, combined with the floods consequent upon the heavy and incessant rains recently experienced, have been productive of considerable injury and serious losses in some parts of the town, particularly in the vicinity of the Strand, along the banks of the river, and other low situated portions of the town. About six o'clock on Wednesday morning, near high tide time, a rather disastrous accident befel the works now in progress in our river near the Pot tery. It appears that at that time the lower of the two dams, built across the river for the purpose of preserving dry that portion of the bed lying between them to facilitate the erec tion of the bridge, gave way, owing, it is supposed, to the great pressure of water, an extensive breach wee made in the part of the dam nearest the town. The rush of the torrent of water in the vacuum on the inner side of the dam (the bed of the river between the two dams having been dried up), was tremendous. Owing to the violence and rapidity of the cur rent the brig Elizabeth, Jones, master and owner,.which lay at the Swansea Coal Company's wharf, was broken from her moorings, and carried with irresistible violence through the reach. Fortunately she did not come in contact with any portion of the walling, or she would in all probability have been shattered to pieces. As it is, the stern-post has been destroyed, and the keel and other parts of the vessel partially so. It was a fortunate circumstance that the occurrence did not take place at a time the men were at work in the bed of the river. Had that been the case, loss of life would most assuredly have ensued. In a pecuniary point of view, the damage sustained is very great, while the accident will have the effect of delaying the progress of the works for a considerable period. The ferryman at the Slip states, that he was on the west stairs waiting his turn across, when sud denly the water, which was about ten inches above the quay wall, fell two feet, to his great alarm ; this will give some notion of the greatness and suddenness of the irruption into the empty space of the bridge works. During the time of high water on Thursday morning, the Strand and lower por tion of Wind-street were completely flooded, the water in several instances being some feet deep ; the cellars and ground-floors were consequently filled with water, to the complete destruction of the stock of beer and spirits in the cellars of several public-houses, as well as of stores kept in underground rooms. It would be too tedious a task to enumerate the parties who have sustained losses in these re spects. Owing to the bad state of the drainage in these parts of the town, we fear the effect of the humidity and damp re sulting from the overflowing of the water will be felt for sonic time to come. So high a tide has not been remembered for a long series of years.—Cambrian. Cannter.-011 Wednesday morning last, as the London and Gloucester mail approached the Ruinney-bridge, near Cardiff, the coachman, Mr. Thoroughgood, discovered that the road was covered with water. With his usnal cautious ness lie attempted to drive through it, but the farther he got the deeper it became; the strong run of the tide, and the heavy flood, soon compelled the horses to swim, whilst the coach was being carried away by the current. The coachman endeavoured to keep up against it, but in vain ; for when he reached the Pengam-bridge (about half a mile distant from Ru.mney-bridge), the coach was gently laid on a b an k on th e left-hand aide coming from Newport. The passengers out side, a lady and gentleman, jumped off, and got safely on terra firma; those inside, five in number, got out while the coach lay on its side. Of course they got into the water. The poor horses were immersed in the flood. The coach man, guard, and a farm servant, unharnessed them as soon as possible, and got three of them up alive, but one was drowned. Ile coach was then righted, and they proceeded to Cardiff, after about an hour's delay. None of the passengers suffered anything more than a ducking ; and no blame whatever is attributable to the driver, who is considered one of the best and mast cautions whips on the road. The blame is attribu table to the turnpike commissioners, for leaving the road in such an exposed condition as to be thus inundated —Mon mouthshire Merlin.. noons ar LIANELLY.— Our correspondent at:Llanelly says :—" During the pact week this town and neighbourhood have been visited with unusually high tides and heavy floods. Nearly the whole road from Pembrey to Loughor is com pletely inundated. A large amount of property of every de scription has been reuch injured, and some entirely destroyed. Half the houses in town have been flooded, while a great deal of property in warehouses, &c., in the neighbourhood of the docks has suffered. A portion of the Llanelly Railway has been destroyed in consequence of the fomentation having been washed away by the water; the consequence was that the engine and tender were overturned on the arrival of the train from Cwm Amman this (Thursday) morning. For tunately no person was hurt."—Another correspondent in forms us of the destruction of the Great Marsh embankment at Llanelly. and overflow of the marsh. He says—" This morning, between the hours of six and seven, the embank ment gave way, and in the course of an flour the whole of the marsh was covered with water. Horses, cattle, sheep, and pigs, hay and corn, were carried away before the water, but fortunately the principal part of the live stock were saved. The tlanelly Railway and Dock Cempany are suf ferers to a great extent, the water having destroyed the line to a considerable distance. The poor cottagers re siding near the Sandy Gate were in the greatest danger of their lives, anti with great difficulty were extri cated from their perilous situation, the water being up to to the eves of the houses ; all their pigs were drowned. The farmers generally are great sufferers. Mr. Francis M,Kier nin, inn-keeper, and Mr. Richard Jones, butcher, may be considered about the gr ea t es t. Th e tram-road from' the Pool Colliery to Pembrey is entirely destroyed. The land now from the New Docks to Loughor presents one sheet of water, with only the tops of time hedges in sight. lam glad to say that up to the present moment (four o'clock nat.), no persons arc missing. The houses near the copper-works have their cellars full. Such an occurrence has not taken pla 7e since the burgesses of Llannelly erected the embankment, -- - Cambrian. HlGHnitinGE.—We have been visited with an extraordi nary high tide this morning (28th inst.) l'he tide washed down part of the sea- wall at Burnham, and flowed over the sea• wall at High Peel, inundating nearly the whole of that neighbourhood, and doing considerable damage to the High bridge Inn, where the wat,r was from three to four feet deep in the house. stables, andwhole of the premises; it also washed do.sn a wall forty yards long and ten feet high. Nearly all the houses in the village were under water, the inhabi tants being obliged to retire up stairs. The water was so deep on the Burnham- road, that Butson's coach was carried into the river, the coachman and four passengers narrowly escaping beii g drowned. We understand that one farmer, of Brean, had upwards of a hundred sheep drowned, and we fear many more losses have been sustained.— Somerset County Gazette. BAILNSTAPI.E.—On Wednesday morning the inhabitants residin g ; near the square and quays were aro us ed f rom th e i r sleep by an inundation. Several houses having underground cellars and kitchens were filled to the ceiling. Mr. Symons, grocer, has had groceries to the amount cf 100/. completely spoiled ; the turnpike roads leading from this town to Bide ford, Southmolton, and Ilfracombe, were three or four feet (Lep with water ; the two beautiful banks which grace the bridge were invisible—large bolts were paddling from the square to the quays—the rails around the square were covered. There has not been an inundation like this in Barnstaple for thirty years. We should think the damage done, together whli the groat loss of cattle in the fields adjacent, will ex ceed 300/. or 400/. The houses at Newport shared a similar fate. The destruction of property was very great. The turnpike road leading to Bideford is totally immersed, and all communication with this town is stopped until the water disappears.— Wectern Times. _ _ CiItNARVON.—On Thursday last one of the highest tides occurred at this port within the memory of the oldest inha bitant. The quays were inundated, and the railway near the machine house, was entirely covered, so that the ship wrights, and others in the neighbourhcod were obli ge d t o suspend their labours. The orchard at Pont Seiont and the Morfa were also covered with water. We believe no damage of any importance has been sustained.—Carnarvon Herald. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) COWBRIDGE, JAN. 31.—The most extraordinary high tide that has occurred for many years came up the Bristol Channel this week, causing great devastation on the Welsh coast; in some places the inhabitants had to leave their houses with the greatest precipitancy. We have experienced throughout South Wales incessant heavy rains, and great fears are now entertained as to the inset crops. The Wheat looks, in some places, too proud; and, generally speaking, I expect a failure. To be sure, there is not much wheat sown, the late harvest and constant rains having kept the farmer in doors. Should there come, which I think we may fully expect, some severe frost about March and April, I cannot imagine even the consequence; the ground being so fully saturated will be completely iron -bound, putting all wheat (spring sowing) out of the question. I am a friE.nd to farming, but I hesitate not in saying that an alteration of the corn-laws is positively requisite, and I feel convinced that a free trade will not so injure us as supposed. At first it may appear so, but the event will dis prove it. - A melancholy accident occurred near Cardiff last Sunday. Two women were returning from a chapel where they had been attending, and having to pass over a bridge, they missed their way, and went into the water. Both were druwned ; one of them was blind. A largo quantity of wreck has come ashore at different points, the remnants of the unfortunate vessels lost in the late gales. The weather is still very boisterous and stormy in the Channel. SIR It PEEL'S NEW TARIFF.—OIt Saturday evening a meeting of the broad silk hand-loom weavers in Spital fields, was held at the Crown and Anchor, Waterloo-town, Bethnal-green. The speakers were unanimous in declaring that the new propositions of Sir Robert Peel, with regard to silk, would ruin their trade. The result was a resolution to the effect that the trade generally should be appealed to, that a strong opposition should be organised, and that petitions to Parliament against the proposed relaxation of the protection to the silk trade, should be prepared, signed, presented, &c.

LAW ISTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COUR7', Feb. 2. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND BURGESSES OF LOLTII C. TIIE WARDENS AND ASSISTANTS OF TIIE FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL OF LOUTII. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND sat in his Court, at Lincoln's Inn, to day, for the purpose of hearing the further arguments in this case. The case has already o - ;- cupied the Court for three days, and its further consideration was postponed till to-day, partly for the convenience of coun • sel, and also in order that the general business of the Court during the term, might not be delayed. We have already given a short outline of the case, and shall enter more it . .to its detail when the arguments are concluded, which will pro bably- be in three or four days. Mr. BFTHELL commenced his arguments to-day on behalf of the defendants, and occupied the Court the whole morning. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN and a Common Jury. THE QUEEN V. cil.tPur.. In this case, which occupied the Court for some time, it appeared that the traverser, who was a mus i c - se ll er i n Bond street, had been charged with perjury ; b u t upon an investi gation of the case it appeared that the charge originated in a mere mistake as to dates in swearing an affidavit in a case before the Court of Chancery, and that no allegation of wilful or corrupt perjury could be sustained, and the traverser wi,s therefore at once acquitted, the Crown having declined to prosecute. COURT OF EXCHEQUEB, Feb. 2. (Sittings at Nisi Prias after Term.) Mr. Baron Platt sat at nisi prius, i n W es t m i ns ter ; this :morning, but the cases which cam e b e f ore t h e C ourt were o f an ordinary character, and involved no matter calling for a public report. The cause list contains forty-five new cases, and seven remanete, making in the whol e fif ty - two causes, b ut many of these had been withdrawn before the close of the day, leaving not more than forty for trial, thirteen of which are special jury cases. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 2. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice ERLE). This being the first day aft er term, the Court, hav i ng sworn a common jury, entered upon the new trial paper for Middlesex, on which there are upwards of thirty cases, but those disposed of presented no feature of interest except to the parties concerned. COORT OF BANKRUPTCY, Feb. 2. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE WICKS. This insolvent, who came up for his final order, is sexton of St. Andrew's burial- ground, in Gray's Inn-lane, and was opposed. On the previous occasion it was endeavoured to be shown that the insolvent had been carrying on business as a job master in conjunction with a Mrs. Goodall. Th. 1..01 - vent denied the ...rt;4>ri• A person named Sedley now opposed, on the gronnd of a debt due to him. On closs•examination he admitted that he had himself been insolvent, and so badly off that he had borrowed money of Mrs. Goodall on pawnbroker's dupli cates. He admitted that he had redeemed the property, but had never mad.: any declaration of the loss of the duplicate, and how he contrived to obtain them without the ticket, which was in Mrs. Goodall's possession, he could not tell. Mr. SIMoN, for the insolvent, submitted that no reliance could be placed on Sedley's evidence after that. The Learned COMMISSIONER assented, and the insolvent passed. IN RE HERBERT. This insolvent, who was a clerk in the Customs, came up for his interim order, and was opposed by Mr. Addison, a solicitor, on his own behalf, on the ground that the insol vent had mixed himself up in accommodation bilts. Mr. Shaw said that he had discounted the bill for 451. for a Mr. Addison, a wholesale provision merchant in the City, but on the bill becoming due it was dishonoured. The in solvent had admitted that the bill was an accommodation bill between him and a person named Rose. He (Mr. Shaw) submitted that it was:a case requiring opposition; it was not to be borne that persons holding situations under Go vernment should traffic in accommodation bills. . ...... The insolvent said that the present bill was given to meet another, on which legal proceedings had been threatened. He had only received 14'. on account of the bill. He had it from a person named Bateman. Mr. Bateman, on being examined, said he was applied to as an agent to get the bill di sc ount e d. H e wen t t o a p erson named Grey, who was clerk to Addison. Witness was to have 1/. for his trouble, and Grey U. After some time, 331. was got by Grey, who at first said he obtained it from a baker in Thames -street, but afterwards admitted he had in fact received it from his master (Addison). Witness ac tually gave 354. 2'. more than he receirld, and never got the balance from Addison. Willi , es had peon sued, and had to pay 7/. 13s. fa. costs, Addison had not been sued. For the insolvent it w.is urged, that it was clear there had been a collusion with Addison, and that he ought to have been sued The interim order was granted. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. The fourth session of the present mayoralty was opened yesteully, with the usual forms, by the Right lion. the Lord Mavor(Joheson), the Recorder, Aldermau Sir Chapman Marshall, and Alderman Sydney. The grand jury hiving been sworn, the RECORDER ad dressed them as follows :—filentlemen of the Grand Jury, the calendar contains a list of 178 prisoners, but that number will probably be augmented to above 230 before the teraii na ion of your labours. There is one charge of murder in it, and the offence is alleged to have been committed on the high seas, and within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty. This case was the subject of observation in the former session, It was however adjourned to the present session in conse quence of the illness of the person accused, but there is every reason to expect that the case will be now proceeded with. There are several bills of indictment preferred, and not less than three distinct charges of murder on board of the Tory, of which the accused was commander. There are also twelve charges of cutting and wounding against the same prisoner. The whole case is one of the most extraordinary character and will involve many weighty considerations. The deposi tions are at present in the hands of the Learned Judge who is expected to preside at the trial, but I retain sufficient re collection of the leading circumstances to express my opinion, that the purposes of justice imperatively require that the case shall be put in the way of the fullest inquiry and the strictest investigation. The jury arc to inquire if a murder has been committed, and it then remains with the prisoner to prove wheth er necessity, infirmity, or other mitigating circumstances, can be urged in extenuation. In the present case it can answer no good end to enter into details, and I will only repeat that the impressson or the Court is, that it is necessary that the case shall be put into course of further inquiry. The calendar contains many other serious charges. Th ere are s i x cases of forging and uttering forged instruments ; one case of cutting and wounding ; two charges of unnatural offences; charges of uttering counterfeit corn; and charges of housebreaking and larceny. There are not less than thirty-eight charges of larceny against servants. There is another charge which, as it is somewhat out of the usual course, I may advert to more at length—l mean the charge of falsely selling and hav ing in possession forged stamps. This crime is provided against by an enactment of the 3d and 4th Wm. Iv., c. 97, entitled an Act to prevent the Selling and littering of Forged Stamps. By the Act a person in possession of forged stamps is held to be guilty of the forgery, if he cannot prove that h e rece i ve d those stamps from a licensed distributor. The Act is so very Vringent, that even the person holding these false stamps can not be (although licensed to sell stamps) screened from the con sequences of possessing them, unless he proves that he received them from a person authorised by the Commissioners. By offer ing this proof he affords at least prima facie evidence that he was not conscious that the stamps were forged. There is also a provision in the Act against the possession of dies. By the former law a person in possession of forging dies, or stamps, or stamped vellum, was punished with death, which is now, however, commuted into transporta tion for life, or for a period not lees limn seven years : or imprisonment for four or not less than two years, the intermediate terms are left to the discretion of the Court. No less than four depositions have been transmitted to me this morning, and the parties charged with the offences are committed on two indictments, one for selling false stamps; the other for the possession of false stamps. There are a variety of cases under each of these heads. In remarking on one head of crime, namely, that of larceny committed by domestic servants, I cannot help observing that employers have not always the power of guarding against this offence, and the persons charged are the more culpable, that necessity doe s no t com p e l th em t o th e cr i me . Th ere i s animpression abroad on the public mind that there is a de creaser in cri.ne, b ecause t h e num b ero f comm i t t a l s t o th e prison of Nen - gate have somewh a t dimini s hed. lam exceedingly sorry to tell you that this is not the case. I havelsefore me a statement of the number of prisoners on the Ist of January, 1845, as also the number committed during the year. and the manner in which the charges were disposed of. I find in deed, that the committals have decreased 434, as compared with the same period in the former year, but the fact must be remembered, that a great proportion of minor offences have been tried at Hick's Hall, before the Judge of the Middlesex Sessions. I find that the total number of committals up to the 31st De cember was 2,678, exhibiting indeed a decrease of 434, as compared with the former year, but this decrease can be more than accounted for by the circumstance I have already stated to you. I think there is nothing of consequence re maining to which I need call your attention, and I will, therefore at once dismiss you to your duties. The grand jury then retired, and the petit jury were sworn in. James Churchill, the elder, James Churchill, the younger, Susannah Churchill, the wife of the first de fendant, and Eleanor, his daughter, John Stewart, and William King, surrendered to answer an indictment for mis-'emeanour. Mr. Doane, in the absence of Mr. Sergeant Allen, who had been specially retained to prosecute, conducted the prosecution. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the de fendant Stewart, and the other defendants were repre sented by Mr. Chernock and Mr. Parry. This case occupied the Court for a considerable period, but the facts under which the charge was made lay in a small compass. The prosecutor was a woman named Rebecca Rawlings, who, with her husband, James Rawlings, carried on the business of a laundress, at Barnes, in Surrey. The defendant, Susannah Churchill, was the sister of her husband, and it would seem that in November last, he being at that time in a very bad state of health, in fact, almost in a dying con dition, she went to his house, and at her solicitation he went with her in the cart used in their business, and was taken to the house occupied by the Churchill's, where he remained until his death, which took place shortly afterwards, It seemed that very shortly after he had been so removed, the horse and cart were ob tained by means of a written order, signed by the hurt, band of the prosecutrix, and they were subsequeggy, sold, and the defendant Stewart, who is a brok9rit; Putney, was shortly aft erwar d s put in possession premises, under a w r i t t en aut h or ity from her hustian and the whole of the property was sold. The precise nature of the conspiracy alleged against the defendants was, that while the husband was in a dying and imbe cile state they had contr i ve d togeth er t o in duce him to give the document referred to, with a view to deprive his widow of the little property in her possession, and this formed the ground of the present indictment. The RECORDER, after a portion of the evidence had been gone into, expressed an opinion that the only point in the case was,whether the husband was really imbecile, and was induced by any coercion of the defendants to execute th.: documents that had been aßirded to, or whe ther they were bona fide instruments. If the latter, no offence had been committed. The prosecutor, in answer to q uestions put by Mr. Clarkson, ad m i tte d that the defendant Stewart had paid over to h e r t h e w h ole of the proceeds of t h e sa l e of the efleets after sh e h a d taken out letters o f a d m i n i s tration, and it appeared that the only part he took in the trans action was acting as broker, under the. authority of the husband, which was now alleged to have been illegally obtained. After some farther discussion, a medical gentleman, named Wilson, was t xamined, and he deposed that he had attended upon the deceased a few days before his death, and, in his opinion, he was quite competent to have executed the in.4ruments that had been produced. The RECORDER paid that, in his opinion, this evidence put an end to the charge against the defendants. Mr. DOANE i7 , tima:ed that he could not carry the case any further, and a verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly re: urned. The Learned Counsel for the prosecution then applied for the expenges. The REcoramit said he thought they ought to be all wed, as the circumstances under which the property had been taken from a poor woman rendered it a very proper case for inquiry. HOME CIRCUIT. As the days for holding this Circuit have been wrongly stated, and this may, if not corrected, cause considerable inconvenience, the following list of the days for holding the asAzes in the different counties is given, and as it is obtained from an official source, it may be relied on:— For the county of Hefts, at Hertford, on Friday, Feb. 27. Mr. Baron Alderson will open the Commis mission, and proceed to dispose of the criminal business at two o'clock, and the civil business will not commence until the following Monday, March 2. The Commission for Essex will be opened at Chelmsford on Tuesday, March 3; for Kent, at MaiOston:., Monday, March 9; ffir Sussex, at Lewes, Monday, March 16; aed for Surrey, at Kingston, Monday, March 23. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. . _ _ Yesterday. John Thomas, a ghastly object in tatters, and Mary Thomas, who said she was his wife, were brought be.fore the Lord Mayor, at the instance of the paymaster of Greenwich Hospital, charged with having p. rsonated a deceased pensioner and his wife. Alexander Pettigrew, a poor man, who looked as if he had escaped from a union workhouse, said he re sided in Bke Anchor-yard, Rosemary-lane, and that the female prisoner was known to be in the habit of drawing money from Greenwich Hospital as the wife of one John Thomas, who when alive was entitled to a pension. _ The LORD MAYOR—flow do you know that John Thomas is dead ? Witness—From her own words. saidbS)seidea er sovereign to n nd 'h 'ire answerrd the mfoarnhethraltiusstbaanndds tostand and until she should get the money at the hospital. She has been a long time at the work, and this man whose name is James Dyer is no more her husband than I am. He has been in the same house with me these two years and she knows nothing about him. The paymaster of Greenwich Hospital stated that he was given to understand that the female prisoner em ployed a new man to personate John Thomas upon every occasion on which she had drawn money. The witness said he believed such to be the case and that the male prisoner had been never employed by her before, and would, he was sure, have resisted the temp tation she offered if it had not been for actual starvation. Every one who turned his eyes towards the miserable half-naked creature at the bar saw that the evidence was not out of the score of credibility. The female prisoner —My Lord, he is my husband. The Loan MAYOR---WhO is ? The female prisoner— Why, John Thomas, this man here next to me. He knows he is. The male prisoner said not a word, but looked still more hungry and desolate. The female prisoner said he goes away from her for twelvemonths together, and I don't know where 119 is all the time. The LORD MAYOR—Why his name is not John Thoma; at all. His name is James Dyer. The female prisoner —He goes by ever so many differ ent names. I assure you, my Lcrd, he is John Thomas, my husband. 'The LORD lisron then remanded the prisoners. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORT6MOUTIT, FEB. I.—Her Majesty's steam-frigate Cyclops arrived at Spithead this morning from Ply mouth ; she is to be inspected by the shipwright de partment of the dockyard, and her defects reported. If unimportant, they will he made good here ; if other wise, she will be sent to Woolwich. Her Majesty's steam transport Dee is expected at Portsmouth with volunteer seamen, who have been col lected at Liverpool and Bristol. She is to transfer them to the St. Vincent, and then return to her station at Cork. The Admiralty are anxious to have the Amphitrite, 26, undocked these spring tides, and her fitting com pleted in the basin. On her going out, the Alfred, 50, will be brought down, and put in dock, to be inspected and prepared for immediate commission. The Java, 50, is in a more forward state, and will be fitted in th e basin. The Amphitrit e an d Trincomalee are to have the same armament of 68-pounders and two shell guns each. The Scourge mortar steamer has been brought along side the dockyard, and an additional streak of copper has been put on her, but that is already nearly under water abaft, and she has to take in about sixty tons of coals, besides additimal stores and ammunition, which will estimate forty more. She has but two species of armanent, a mortar and a 56-pounder long gnn. A trial of her qualities at sea will be made before the squadron of steamers is sent out to cruise. The battler steamer is quite ready for sea. The Carysfort, 26, when ready, is to go to Sydney with the newly-appointed Governor. The steam-ship's funnel, perforated by shot and shell from the Excellent, has been brought to the dockyard, there to await the in spection of the First Lord and the Board of Admiralty, upon their official visit to the arsenal. An officer belonging to one of her Majesty's ships at this port has during the week visited and inspected the Ter rible, first-class steamer, fitting at 'Woolwich. She is reported to be, in every respect, a most efficient man-of. war, both as respects' her armament and stowage of coals, provisions, and water. She is capable of conveying troops to the West Indies with great facility ; and this officer, whose judgment is undoubted, asserts that a finer steamer has not been introduced into the British navy. The Terrible, Sampson, and Gladiator, will all rendez-. vous ut Spithead in March. The Grampus, 50, will be ready to go out of harbour in a week or ten days, if the weather will admit. The Harpy and Myrmidon, two of the new steam vessels built at Blackwall, are intended for service at the Brazils. The Oynx and Garland are for the packet ser vice at Dover. Her Majesty's ship Superb, 80, and the Barrette, jun,, transport are at Spithead. The latter, with convicts fur Bermuda is detained, with a large fleet of merchant ves sels, by the very stormy weather which prevailed all the week. The schooner Ann and Elizabeth, of Cardiff', is still in the Swash, filled, but the agents at Lloyd's hope to get her clear this day, having a high spring tide in their favour. THE ARMY. There is very good reason to believe, from information which transpired on Saturday last, that second bat talions will be added to the under-mentioned regiments, being next on the reciitry for foreign service :—The 6th, Bth, 24th, 321, 36th, 37th, 56th, and 69th, all, of course, infantry. On this arrangement being carried out, each regiment will receive the addition of one lieu tenant-colonel, one major, eight captains, and 16 sub alterns. THE LATE LIEUT.-GENERAL SIR F. W. MULCASTER, K.H.—This gallant officer, who expired on the 28rh ult., at Charlton-barrack, Kent, in the 74th year of his age, entered the carps of Royal Engineers on the 14th of June, 1792, as second lieutenant ; his other commis sions being thus dated :—first lieutenant, November 27th, 179.3 ; captain, Septet:lll3:T 11th, 1795 ; brevet major, July 10th, 1805 ; lieutenant-colonel, May Ist, 1811 ; regimental colonel, February 7th, 1817 ; major general, May 27th, 1825 • and lieutenant- co l one l , J une 28, 1838. He served in Portugal' in 1797 and 1798, was at the taking of Minorca, and in the Mediterranean in 1799, 1800, and 1801 ; commanded the Engineers in the Mauritius, Isle of Bourbon, &c., from 1817. He sub. sequently filled various staff appointments, and in 1832 was appointed colonel-commandant of the Royal En. gineers, and inspector-general of fortifications in , 1834. He was also for many years a deputy-lieutenant for the cour.ty of Kent. 4TH DnacooNs.—Lord George Paget is now Major of the 4th Light Dragoons. Lieutenant-Colonel Daly has retired from this regiment, after a brilliant and honourable service of thirty-four years. He served in the American, the Peninsular, and the late Affghanis tan wars. He also served under the late Lord Keane, at the siege and capture of Ghuznee. Major Sculley has been promoted to the lieutenant-colonelcy. Lord Alfred Churchill, son to the Duke of Marlborough, has been promoted to a lieutenancy in this corps, which he joined in 1842. - RIFLE BRIGADE.— On Wednesday last the companies of the first battalion of this regiment, which have been on duty in Dublin for some time,-left in one of the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company's vessels for Liverpool, which place they reached on the following day. On the next morning (Friday) they proceeded to London, via the Grand Junction and Birmingham Railways, arriving in town the same evening. Saturday and yesterday they were billeted at various houses on the Surrey side of the river, being under orders for Dover, to which garrison they will proceed this day, per the South-Eastern Rail way. SIR GEORGE MURRAY.—In answer to inquiries made on Sunday, it was stated that Sir George Murray was somewhat better. GLASGOW PIG-IRON TRADE.—TUESDAY, JAN. Notwithstanding the severe pressure on the Money Market, this article has assumed a very firm appearance. Peel's mea sures will, without doubt, cause other nations to reciprocate in their tariffs, and consequently we have now opened up an export trade, thus completely removing the difficulty as to stocks. For iron -masters, as well as other m anu f acturers, their prospects have never had so bright an appearance. For money, one or two small lots (under 100 tons), was sold at 80s., but yesterday and Saturday contracts were made to a limited extent by makers, at 855., cash; and we learn to-day as much as 87s. 6d., say 87s. 6d., four months, was paid. We q uote the price, for to-d a y, as 82 s. Gd. cash.—Glasgow National. RAILWAY IRON.--The paragraph which has been going the round of the papers respecting railway iron having been sent from France to Newport, is calculated to give the im pression that such article had been literally supplied by France for use in this country. The facts of the case are, that the ir in was originally shipred from this country for France; during the voyage the ship met with some disasters, and on the arrival of the vessel it was found that the iron had become unfit for use, and it WWI then sent back to be re• melted. —Bristol Journal. FATAL AND SINGULAR OCCUR- RENCE. We have this week to notice n, most melancholy event by which a young man, naaied John Brotherton, a farm' labourer, from BeckwHishaw, loft his life on Sunday morning, at the residence of Mr. Nathan Atkinson, a farmer, residing at a lone house adjoining to Stainburn Moor, about five miles from Otley. Before detailing the circumstances of the case, it may be as well to menticn that the inmates of Mr. Atkinson's house consisted of himself and Mrs. Atkinson, a maid servant named Ellen Brotherton, and two teen servants named llugh Ingle and John Dickinson. An inquest was held on the body of the deceased at the house of Mr. J. Holmes, innkeeper, Stainburn, on Tuesday, before Thomas Brown, Esq.. of Skipton, and a highly respectable jury, collapsed of parties residing at Stainburn. and from the adjoining townships of Lindley and Righton. It appeared from the evidence of John Dickinson and Ellen Brotherton, that they retired to rest about nine o'clock on Saturday evening. That about half-past twelve Mr. Atkinson was awoke by the breaking of glass in the room window under his bed room. That he went down stairs, came back, and called the men out of bed. They got up, put on their trousers, went down stairs, and got a light. They found the windows broken and the glass scattered about. They saw the hair of a man's head at the bottom of the window, but could not distin . guish any person outside. The person slunk away. Dickinson and Ingle then went out into the g irden with a lantern and candle, but could see no one. While there, sticks and stones were thrown at them, and they returned into the house, and locked the door. They fastened the window-shutters again (we may, perhaps, mention that the bar which secured the shutters, inside ones, did not fit tight, as the spring was weak) and they were imme diately broken open. This was done several times. At this time the impression on Dickinson and Ellen Brotherton's mind was, that the attacks were made by r avigato rs , on account o f some o f th ose p ar ti es having attempted to get into Mr. Michael Dickinson's house, in the same neighbourhood, a few days before. Mrs. Atkinson brought the gun down stairs, and it was charged with shot. Mr. Atkinson fastened the shu'- ters again, tied th e m w i t h a b an d , an d ca ll e d out, "Now, my las, it you arn't off, or make yourselves known, you'll be shot immediately ; he also said aloud to Ingle, that if the windows were broken open again, he was to fire immediately. The shutters were broken open. Ingle fired, and all was still. It was dark and rainy at the time. The attacks had been kept up for near an hour and a half, as it was about two o'clock when the gun was fired. The servants sat up till daylight, but Mr. Atkinson went to bed. The deceased was found dead the next morning, in a field about forty yards from the house. Ellen Brotherton also stated that Mr. Atkinson and his men were on the best of terms with the deceased, who had been at the house the Sunday previous, and that the greatest good feeling prevailed amongst them. Mr. Spence, of Otley, surgeon, had made a post mortem examination of the body, and found that the charge had skirted the lung, and lodged in the liver. Mr. Smith called Mr. Cowgill, the landlord of the public-house at Beck nrithshaw, from whose evidence it appeared that the deceased was at his house drinking from four o'clock in the afternoon until ten minutes past eleven at night. The jury returned a verdict of "Excusable Homicide." The deceased courted the young woman Ellen Bro therton, and he knew where her bed-room window was, and he must have been in a gross state of intoxication, or he would not have acted in the manner he did.—Leeds Mercury, SHIPS' STORES.

The first order in July. on the subject alluded to, sets forth that adiversity in practice having prevailed with respect to the regulations under which packages of goods which were intended for shipment as stores should be removed from one port to another, that in future all legal sized packages of warehoused gods forwarded from one warehousing port to another, whether for the purpose of being used as stores or otherwise, should be for warded under the warehousing regulations ; and that all packages of less than the legal sir., and all packages removed as stores from a warehousing port to a port not a warehousing port, should be removed under a special bond ; and the second, in Novem ber, that the authorities had adverted to the cases in which surplus stores are left on board vessels which have arrived from foreign voyages at a port of the united kingdom, and are about to proceed with or without cargo coastwise preparatory to making another foreign voyage, and being of opinion that some further regulations sere necessary in order to assimilate the practice and to provide fur the due account, and delivery of such stores, and directed that in future surplus stores left on board any importing vessel about to proceed coast wise only be placed under seal of office, and a particular account thereof transmitted by letter of advice from the proper officers to the collector and controller of the revenue at the port of destination ; and in addition thereto, that in all cases where the quantity of high duty goods left on board such vessels should appear to the proper officers to be excessive, that a special bond for the same should be required. These two new forms of bond have been instituted to carry these orders into effect, and are of considerable importance to the shipping and mercantile interest and all other persons concerned. MR.

EXTRAORDINARY MIGRATION OF ALDER3IEN.—For some days past considerable excitement has existed in the neighbourhood of the Stock and Royal Exchanges, by a re port that several aldermen engaged in railway speculations have been served with writs for their liabilities. One alder man, it is said, has received 175 of the epistles of " John Doe and Richard Roe"—another has had 65, and a third 33. The rumour goes, that several civic worthies have winged their way to mere warm and more sunny climes, and that there are others ready for an early flight. More, however, will be known, wh n the judges at the Central Criminal Court require the attendance of the City authorities.—John Tonacco.—On a remt application of an eminent firm, importers of tobac co , t o t h e L or d s o f t h e T reasury, praying that all leaf tobacco may be allowed to be imported from the United States of America into this country in pack ages of the same weight in which the same description of tobacco could be legally imported from the place of its growth, ti - eir Lordships were pleased to authorise the reve nue authorities to give directions for a compliance with the request, directing at the same time that the requisite altera tion may be made in the next Custom's Amendment Act, for allowing tobacco, the produce of Mexico, South America or the islands of St. Domingo or Cuba, to be imported into the United Kingdom in bales containing 80 pounds weight each, from any place from which it may be legally imported ' for home use, and further authorising them to give direc tions for the admission of tobacco in packages of the size proposed, pending the required alteration of the law. Their Lordships also further gave permission, on a sudsequent memorial from another party, fir to bacco, the produce of the island of Trinidad, to be allowed to be imported into this country in packages of the same size as those sanctioned for tobacco the produce of South America and St. Domingo above alluded to. Their Lord ships having since had under their consideration a commu nication from the Board of Trade respecting a memorial from an eminent merchant at the port of Liverpool, request ing that tobleco may be allowed to be imported from all or any of her Majesty's possessions in packages of the weight of eighty pounds only, the Revenue Commis: ioners have re ceived a further communication from Mr. Cardwell, one of the Secretaries to the Lords of the Treasury, stating that he has been commanded by their Lordships to convey to them their authority for allowing Hungarian or such other tobacco as can be legally imported from Malta, to be admitt e d i n t o thi s country in packages of the limited size and weight men tioned.
