RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OPENING OF THE GREAT NORTH OF ENG LAND, CLARENC E, AND HARTLEPOOL JUNCTION. HARTLEPOOL, TUESDAY.—The ceremony connected with the opening of this important connecting link took place yesterday. The line is only about eight miles in length, but its importance can scarcely be inferred from this fact. It commences at Thinford, about a mile below the Ferryhill station of the Great North of England, with which it forms a junction. It also forms a junction with the Byers-green branch of the Clarence Railway, near to the same place. It then proceeds in a south-easterly direction, skirting the lower part of the village of Corn forth, onward to Coxhoe-bridge, where it passes under the Durham and Stockton-road. Thence it proceeds to Garmond's-way Lime Quarry and Colliery. From thence it proceeds to New Trimsdon, passing by Wingate Grange, and joins the Hartlepool Railway a little beyond the village of Castle Eden. It thus forms the connecting link between the York and Newcastle and Clarence Railways, and affords the best and shortest medium for the transit of the coal and iron of the western parts of the county to the important port of Hartlepool. To parties travelling from Hartlepool from the north, this railway will be of great importance, as it effects a saving in distance of upwards of seven miles over the old lines. There can be no question that it will tend greatly to in crease the traffic of the port, and will induce many par ties to avail themselves of the facilities afforded for visit ing this truly beautiful and delightful locality. To the admirer of the picturesque, few places possess greater attractions than Hartlepool, while to the antiquarian it presents features of deep and thrilling interest. The cost of the line, exclusive of stations which have not yet been erected, with a double line of rails, amounts to about 80,0001. It must be evident, therefore, that great economy has been exercised in its construction, and that it has been formed under very favourable circumstances, as it has not cost above 10,000/. per mile. Mr. George Hudson, on behalf of the Newcastle and Darlington Railway Company, having agreed for the purchase of this railway, together with the line, docks, and other works belonging to the Hartlepool Dock and Railway Company, this was the day appointed for that gentleman entering upon possession. Accordingly Mr. Hudson, together with several of the directors of the York and Newcastle Railway, the Lord Mayor of York, and a numerous party of friends, left York shortly before twelve o'clock by a special train, and arrived at the Ferry-hill station about half-past two. Here they were met by a special train from Hartlepool, containing the mayor and corporation of that town, and the principal portion of the Hartlepool Dock and Rail way, and the Great North of England, Clarence, and Hartlepool Junction Railway Companies. The weather during the whole of the day had been of the most unfa vourable description, and at this period and during the remainder of the trip the rain poured down in torrents, while the wind blew a perfect:hurricane. There can no be doubt that but for this circumstance the party assembled to meet Mr. Hudson would have been considerably larger, and the demonstrations of public rejoicing along the line would have been greater. As soon as the two trains had been united they proceeded to traverse the line. From the hasty glance which could be obtained while the train was passing the engineering difficulties did not appear to be of great or extraordinary charac ter. There are a few rather heavy cuttings, and one or two embankments, and at Garmondaway there is a considerable decline. The scenery along the line is not of a particularly striking character ; a great portion of the land, if we may judge from the nume rous collieries and other public works with which it is studded, being valuable not from the beauty of its surface, but for the mineral treasures hidden beneath. At Castle Eden, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, a large concourse of people bad assembled to meet the train, and its arrival was greeted with loud cheering, firing of cannon, and other demonstrations of rejoicing. After stopping to take up Ro w l an d B ur d on , Esq., anal other gentlemen, the train proceeded at a rapid rate, passing the far-famed Castle Eden Dean, to Hart lepool, where it arrived at half-past three o'clock, having performed the entire distance, sixteen miles, including stoppages, in rather more than thre'e-quarters of an hour. Immediately on alighting, Mr. Hudson and his friends proceeded to inspect the docks and other works which had then become the property of the York and Newcastle Railway Company, and after some time had been spent is this manner they adjourned to the Town-hall, where a highly congratulatory address was presented to the former gentleman, by the Mayor and Corporation of Hartlepool, on his taking possession of the dock and railways. Mr. Hudson acknowledged the compliment in suitable terms. Notwithstanding that the rain con tinued to pour down, and that he was lightly clad, Mr. Hudson, with his usual activity and persevering spirit, proceeded from the Town-hall to examine the port and pier, and everything worthy of note in Hartlepool. THE DINNER. At six o'clock about sixty gentlemen sat down to a truly splendid dinner, in the long room of the King's Head Inn, which was provided by Mr. Peter Wilson, the landlord. There was every delicacy that could tempt the appetite in profusion, and the wines were of the choicest. quality. Mr. Hudson presided, and Mr. Harri son was in the vice-chair. Amongst the company we recognised Messrs. W. Richardson (the Lord Mayor of York), John Davis (town clerk of York), and Sir John Simpson; Alderman Barber, Richard Nicholson, Alder man Cobb, Charles Hanson, Joseph Richardson, John Close, all of York; Rowland Burdon, of Castle Eden; the Mayor of Hartlepool, Rev. Taylor, vicar, and the Rev. Hamilton, curate, of Hartlepool; Colonel Swin bnrne, ditto, Thomas Bolt, town clerk of ditto; J. P. Denton, Thomas Rowell, ditto; T. fit. Grey, Norton; Thomas Richardson, Castle Eden; W. Ord, Sunderland; Captain Bingham, R. Wilson, N. Plews. Mackenzie, comptroller of customs; William and Charles Davison, Hartlepool; S. Robinson and John Burrell; William Green, A. W. Hutchinson, J. and P. Foster, jun.; and Ald. Haggett, of Durham, &c. After the cloth had been removed, the CHAIRMAN gave in succession " The Queen, " " The Queen Dowager," " Prince Albert," and " The rest of the Royal Family -" " The Army and Navy," which was drank with loud cheers. Colonel SWINBURNE, on behalf the army, responded to the toast. The CHAIRMAN next gave the "Health of the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," and stated that, to show how anxious the company with which he was connected, was to do all in their power to promote the temporal and spiritual welfare of the inhabitants of Hartlepool, it was their intention to leave in the hands of the mayor and vicar a sum of money to be distributed amongst the poor. The Rev. TAYLOR returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Health of the Mayor and Corporation of Hartlepool. "—(Drunk with loud cheers.) Mr. W. VoLLuss (the Mayor) returned thanks. He said that was one of the proudest days he had ever seen. He recollected that about fourteen years ago Hartlepool was only a poor insignificant fishing village, but even then it possessed charms for him; the best of feeling existed amongst the inhabitants, but there was not a particle of trade in the town. The Dock and Railway Company were the first to commence the work of improvement, and mich had been the effect that a trade of immense extent had sprung up, which had raised Hartlepool from a mere fish ing village to the rank of an important and flourishing port.—(Applause.) Possibly it might be urged that the Dock and Railway Company had reached its full limit of prosperity, and he was willing to allow that, in his opinion, he did not think it could have progressed much beyond its present state. For the last twelve months it had rather retrogaded than otherwise. What they wanted was a communication with the manufacturing districts of the country, and this they had obtained by the connexion which had been formed with the York and Newcastle Railway Company.—(Applause.) And now it would appear strange to him if that port did not assume a proud position amongst the ports of this country--(Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of Mr. Row land Burden, and the directors of the Hartlepool Dock and Railway Company.—(hear.) The toast was one that did not require much in its favour from him. The directors had strongly recommended themselves to the good opinion of every one with whom they had been in any way associated, by the manner in which they had conducted the various works entrusted to their management, and especially by their con duct upon a recent occasion. It had been deemed a wise policy upon their part to place that railway under the management of another company, and he for one perfectly concurred in the course they had pursued. —(Cheers.) His experience satisfied him most fully that these works could not be conducted on a small scale, for it rarely happened that undertakings of this descrip tion,avhen thus worked, yielded that remuneration to the shareholders and accommodation required by th public, and which could only be afforded when worked upon a large scale.--(Hear, hear.) The Duke of Wel lington had said that England could not conduct a small war, and he (i.ir. Hudson) was of opinion:that they could not conduct their works upon a small or insignificant scale.—(Applause.) With respect to the Hartlepool Dock and Railway Company, he felt bound to say that he had not sought them in this transaction ; they had come to him; but having received a proposition from them, and having well considered that proposition, and feeling that it would prove advantageous to the company with which he was connected, as well as to the public, were it adopted, he did not hesitate in agreeing to it, and arrangements were entered into for the purchase of the dock and railway.—(Applause.) They would also do him the justice of saying that he entered fairly into that agreement.—(Applause. On the other hand, he must be permitted to bear RE testimony to the fair, can did, and honourable manner in which the negotiations were conducted by the gentlemen with whom he had treated.—(Applause,) Upon one occasion a slight mis understanding arose, and he could not forget the hand some manner in which that misunderstanding was after wards explained.—(Applause.) The toast was drunk with loud cheers. Mr. RowLAN; B[JRDON returned thanks on behalf of himself and the directors of the Hartlepool Dock and Railway Company, for the honour done them. It was true, as had been stated by the mayor, that that com pany had been the means of raising Hartlepool from the condition of a mere fishing village to that of a port of considerable importance, and they had done this in pur suance of that English principle which had been referred to by Mr. Hudson —namely, in furtherance of their own interests, and the accommodation of the public at large. — (Applause.) The directors, however, had felt latterly that they had arrived at a point beyond which they would not be able to raise the value of the shares, and that they sho u ld not b e able to advance the interests of the undertaking so much as could be done if the manage ment was confided to other and abler hands. Under these circumstances they applied to Mr. Hudson. They felt in applying to him they were applying to one who, by his great talents, his energy, and his large and extensive connexion with other companies, was able to do much more for the railways of this country than could be effected by any other individual.— (Applause.) They were met in a liberal and honouzable • a! ado an excellent spirit, and the result was, that they m. bargain, and at the nine time that the; c?nferrcd a tdson great benefit upon the country.—(Applause.) Ilt had earned fur himself a high T , sition in the rajwaY world, end he did not know of any other individual who would be able to direct sueccasfullv so many under takiugs as he was engaged in.—(Appir.use.) Most per sons fancied that they could manago their own concerns best, but it had been found that wherever he obtained possession of any railway he had brought a system of management to bear upon it which 1t had never known before, and he felt assured that his possession of that undertaking would tend greatly to benefit that important port.—(Applause.) In conclusion, he gave the health of Mr. Hudson, their Chairman.— (Cheers and applause.) The toast was drunk with three times three. The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks for the com pliment, and concluded by proposing the health of Mr. W. Ord, and prosperity to the town and trade of Sun derland.—(Applause.) Mr. ORD responded to the toast, and gave prosperity to the port and trade of Hartlepool. Mr. THOMAS ROWELL, one of the principal merchants, responded to the toast, and to show the increase which had taken place in the trade of the port, he stated tha he recollected the time when having ventured to import a cargo of timber into the town it was prognosticated that he should be ruined—that is would never be con sumed. Last year, however, instead of importing one cargo, between 5,000 and 6,000 tons of timber had been brought into the port.—(Applause.) Instead of Hartle pool being a fishing port, upwards of 5,000 vessels had entered the port last year, and this year they had cleared no less than 900 bound to almost every part of the world. —(Applause.) Traders of all sizes could enter their port with perfect safety—from the stately East Indiaman of 900 tons burden, whose keel ran no danger in their road, and at the present time there were 150 vessels in the dock, possessing a tonnage of 22,000 tons, ready to clear out.—(Applause.) This did not look like a retro grading trade, but it showed that the port would shortly become the first and most important upon the east coast. Several other toasts were afterwards drunk, and about half-past ten o'clock Mr. Hudson and the whole of the company rose and left the room. A special train was in readiness at the station which conveyed Mr. Hudson and his friends the same evening to York, whilst a second train was placed at the disposal of those gentlemen who had come from Newcastle and the other intermediate towns upon the northern portion of the line. PARISH OF ST. CLEMENT DANES. A meeting of the Vestry of the parish of St. Clement Danes was held on Thursday for the purpose of fixing the rate of assessment for the support of the pocr of the parish for the third quarter of the current year. Mr. IL Judkins, die senior churchwarden, was called to the chair. Mr. STEELE, the vestry-clerk, having read over the minutes of the last vestry, which were confirmed, ob served that at that meeting it was supposed that some difficulty might arise with respect to the sum due to the Commissioners of Police. He was now happy to be able to inform the vestry that he, along with the churchwar dens, had waited on the Messrs. Twinings, who, without any difficulty, advanced the money. The CHAIRMAN said, that since that time the money had been paid.—(Hear, hear.) The object of the pre sent vestry was simply to fix the rate of assessment for the quarter. Mr. FOWLER, the clerk to the board of guardians, said he was instructed, on behalf of the board, to state that the sum estimated as necessary to meet the expenditure of the quarter would be about 1,8001. for the support of the poor, and 300/. for the county rate. The CHAIRMAN said the warrant from the board of guardians had not yet been received. The expenditure, however, for the quarter was estimated at 1,800/., which was rather above the average. But when the high pri ce of provisions wa s considered, and that, in administering relief to the poor, where a shilling formerly sufficed. eighteenpence would now be required, the vestry would see the necessity of making ample provision.—(llear.) Mr. BELLAMY then moved that a rate of eigbtpencc in the pound be granted. Mr. OVENDEN seconded the motion. A PARISHIONER—That will produce 2,480/. The CHAIRMAN—Yes ; but we have to provide for the police and county rate out of it. The PARISHIONER imagined that the increased amount of employment recently afforded in the parish would have met the late increase in the price of provisions. The CHAIRMAN was not aware that employment had increased ; on the contrary, he believed that there was a scarcity of employment, as well as the evil of a high price of food.—(Hear, hear.) After some observations to a similar effect, the rate was unanimously agreed to. Mr. PETERS said, before the vestry separated, he re gretted to be obliged to bring under their notice a mat ter of a personal nature, not that he cared much about it, as it affected himself, but in order that such occur rences might be prevented for the future. Some weeks ago, in consequence of some damage done to a wall ad joining his house, the matter came under the cognisance of the district surveyor, under the Metropolitan Build ing Act ; and, much to his annoyance and astonishment, instead of receiving the notice in the way prescribed by the Act the notice requiring him to pull: down the wall was affixed to his street-door by the parish beadle. He contended that such a thing might prove most injurious to the credit of a tradesman, for the passer-by, without a perusal, could not distinguish between it and a notice of outlawry. Mr. STEELE admitted that the beadle had acted in the matter under his direction ; but he hell no other object in view than to carry out the purposes of the Act in the most effectual manner. Mr. PETERS contended that the 113th clause of the Act only required the affixing of the notice to the door, in the case of being unable to find out the owner or oc cupier of the property concerned. Several of the parishioners remarked that there was much justice in Mr. Peters' complaint, and that the stop complained of should not be resorted to, except under the contingency contemplated in the Act. The CHAIRMAN was sorry to think that Mr. Peters, or any other parishioner, should have been so annoyed, but he was quite sure that no offence was intended by the vestry-clerk, who had only endeavoured to carry out the instructions of the Act. Mr. PETERS having expressed himself satisfied, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the vestry adjourned. IRRIGATION AND THE PRESER VATION OF MANURE. At the recent annual meeting of the Stewponey Agri cultural Society, Mr. Whitmore, the President, adverted to several interesting experiments which he had com menced :—" I am carrying the new plan (the four feet deep drainage) into effect to a great extent on my own estate, and my mode of applying it is open to all of you for examination, and I hope it may be found useful.— (Hear, hear.) lam also at present carrying on largely a system of irrigation conducted upon the most improved principles, from which I expect great results. It is right that I should mention that I have tried irrigation before without success, nay, even with injury ; but then I had never found out the way of applying it properly ; and now that I have got hold of the proper mode, I have no doubt that I shall be amply repaid. Taught by former failures, now, when I desire to practice any improved mode of husbandry, I look to that part of England where it is carried on ; I am ready to admit that a great deal of information may be got from books ; but you may read to all eternity without becoming practically ac quainted with the matter; if you are to have a practical knowledge of the process, you must go and learn it where it is practised.—(Hear.) Accordingly I went to Kent to acquire my knowledge of deep draining, and I went for irrigation to the water-mills of Dorsetshire, which are very beautiful works, and no one desirous of putting the plan in practise but will be repaid by seeing now it is carried on there. lam also of opinion that in carrying improvements into effect it is necessary to have some party who has been engaged in them where they are carried on; accordingly, I have brought workmen to effect the improvements on my estate, and when the plan is fully in operation, and I have instances of it to show the members of the Stewponey Society, I shall then con sider that I have been of some use.—(Hear, hear,) With regard to the manufacture and storing of manure I have tried the system referred to in the report, namely, box feeding, but on a small scale. lam convinced that it is an immense improvement on the usual plan of making and preserving manures. In box feeding the animal is in no degree in jured, nor its health in the least impaired, though, per haps, it might look brighter in the eye when fed other wise. You are aware that there is a cavity below the box which is fitted up with a grating., and becomes filled with the dung. Now, although I have left that for six months without emptying, the animal has thriven and experienced no ill effect, nor shown a single symptom of disease. It is tree the labourers who took it out felt it a little; it made their eyes water and their noses sneeze, but no greater harm. I think it must be apparent that this dung, not having been dried by the sun, nor watered by the rain, but all its solid and liquid parts retained, must be vastly more efficacious than that collected on the old system. What is the usual system of manufacturing manure? The turning a few poor miserable animals into the strawyard, and when the straw is rotten you call that manure. It is nothing of the kind. I ha ve seen s t raw ac tually thrown int o th streets, to be converted into some thing black and dirty, and then it was called manure. This is absurd, and I contend that a most material point in farming is the proper preparation and preservation of manure. There is an immense field open, lam certain, to those farmers who will take pains to apply themselves to the proper cultivation of the land, and you will do best in the application of improved processes to seek for information in those parts where they are now actually practised. The cost of applying irrigation I find to be from 121. to 15/. an acre ; but what is the result ? Sup pose my improvements in this way to be at all compar able to those in the rest of England, I shall obtain a bite of grass in the month of March, when it is nowhere else to be had, and I shall have an extra ton of hay to the acre, so that land that formerly let at 40s. per acre will be richly worth SOs. I think also that where agriculture is carried on to a high pitch, a system of double manu ring goes on, and, provided your land is clean where that takes place, very large crops will be yielded. Hops.—The change of opinion upon the duty is as remarkable as the vicissitudes of the weather. Last week we reported a small diminution in the amount. It is our duty this week to name a larger sum than we have yet announced. Who is in the right we are at an utter loss to '' ()mess, but a most e x trao r d inar y diff erence prevails. A high duty backer, who is a large dealer, sends us the following average :—Canterbury, 45,000/. ; Rochester, 66,000/, ; Sussex, 63,0001, ; Worcester, 3 0,0001. ; Farnham, 16,000/. ; Kingdom, 4,0001. Total, 224,0001.—Kentish Gazette. SAYE-ALL.—AIr. Budd, of Swansea, has taken out a patent for the application, in the manufacture of iron, of clinkers produced in the combustion of coal, and here tofore regarded as useless. —The .Budder. TIIE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING- 1 OCTOBER 17, 184 g. TRIGONOMETRICAL SURVEY OF SCOTLAND. - (From the InverncsB Courier.) We have been faToured with a arTy of the following communication from the Treasury to tiv - , Dul:r t Moa trOse, as President of the Highland and _Agricultural Society of Scotland:— `• Treasury Charribi rs, Aug. 26, 1345. "My Lord Duke,—The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury having had under their consideration the two memorials of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, signed by your Grace as President of the Society, calling the attention of the Government to the Ordnance Survey of Scotland, and praying that the sum of 25,0001. annually may be placed at the dis posal of the Board of Ordnance for carrying on the survey in question, I am commanded by their Lordships to acquaint your Grace in reply, that it has not been owing to the want of funds that greater progress has not been made of late years in the survey of Scotland, but to the want of qualified surveyors, caused by the number of railways which are being executed in diffe rent parts of the United Kingdom. " Exertions are, however, being made to prepare a sufficient number of well-trained assistants, and it is their Lordships' intention that the sums which may be hereafter set apart in the annual estimates for carrying on the Ordnance survey of Scotland should be strictly appropriated to that object, and that the sums so set apart should be increased to the extent which may be justified by the demands of the service, and by the funds which may become available by the completion of the survey in other quarters. " I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) " C. E. TREVELYAN. " To his Grace the Duke of Montrose." We trust that this national work will ere long be proceeded with in a manner commensurate with its im portance. Scotland has considerable cause of complaint in this matter, for while the survey of England has cost nearly 600,0001., and that of Ireland above 750,0001., the whole expenditure in Scotland has been under 30,000/. This difference is not attributable to any luke warmness evinced on this subject in this part of the empire, repeated representations having been made to Government by most of our influential bodies. MAUCH LINE, AYRSHIRE. (From the Dumfrzes Courier.) Mauchline is a changed village since the time when Burns resided in its neighbourhood. The parish church is a handsome building, and the tower commands a fine view of the surrounding country. The village is now celebrated as the seat of a very in genious manufacture originally prosecuted at Corn neck. In the principal work at Mauchline upwards of 100 persons are employed in the formation of snuff boxes, memorandum books, and various knick-nacks, beautifully finished. Many of these articles are painted quite in artistic style, and no traveller who has an hour to spare in Mauchline should omit to visit the workshops and warehouse of Mr. Andrew Smith. Within the last few years an entirely novel branch of the business has been added, in the manufacture of wooden buttons, which is now the most important of the whole. The buttons are made of beechwood, and after being roughly shaped out, are hardened by exposure to a high temperature. They are then polished and painted, varnished and dried, every button undergoing twelve different processes under the hands of as many separate persons. A large portion are painted in tartan patterns, and this process is very inte resting, the lines being drawn by machines, insuring the utmost precision and regularity. I was shown some very beautifully executed by the hand, with pictures of game birds and hares, which wero intended for the Parisian market, where they are in great demand. The Mauch line buttons are chiefly used for summer clothing, such as shooting-jackets, and are found to be remarkably durable. Many boys and girls are employed in this work, and receive fair wages. In addition to its ordinary population, Mauchline has at present a couple of hun dred navies, employed on the extension to Cumnoek of the Glasgow and Ayr Railway, chiefly from the High lands, squeez.d into every available corner. They have, on the whole, conducted themselves very well, and a number of them have saved money. Mossgeil, the residence of Burns for several years, and where he componed many of his finest poems, is about half a mile from Mauchline, and is very little changed since that period. One improvement has been made, however, as a large part of the farm has been drained; the want of which was one great cause of the poet's failure as a farmer here, as the land lies upon a cold retentive sub-soil, and in his day the clay tubes, which have added so much to the wealth of Ayrshire, were not. It was while the poet resided here that he wooed his bonny Jean. Their first intro duction was somewhat curious. The poet had attended a dance in Mauchline, accompanied by his dog in place of a fair partner, and, in reply to some remark, he said, " he wished he could get any of the lasses to like him as well as his colley did." A few days after wards, when the poet was strolling down the banks of a burn which runs through the village, a lass who was engaged on the bleaching-green inquired " if he had got a more loving sweetheart than his dog yet ?" This was Jean Armour, and this the first time of meeting be twixt the future husband and wife. ROBBERY Or THE SERGEANT'S MESS Or THE 13711 FOOT.—lnformation has been forwarded to every police station of the desertion of a private of the lath Regiment of Foot, named Anthony Heath, who, when he absconded from Portsmouth on Sunday, took away with him the sum of 391., the property of the sergeant's ..........ir his company. ~O ldl n Sailor," ail o r consequence(thelaotef Mr. the M . i H n . en u t ark s e e r r , v ) ic L es ord of the John Russell has been pleased to appoint his only surviving son to a situation in the Customs.

WEST RIDING REGISTRATION.—The result of the revision of the lists for the West Riding of Yorkshire, which is just completed, is to give the Liberals a gain of 1,683 on the revision of last year. The present liberal majority on the whale constituency is 4,100. PROCLAMATIOXS or OUTLAWRY.—The following parties were, at the Sheriff's Court, on Thursday, called upon to surrender to their various creditors, or be severally outlawed :—Thomas Harries Wilson, at the suit of John Garrod ; J. L. Wellesley, at the suit of Benjamin Spilsbury ; Richard Augustus Seymour, at the suit of William Henry Vernon ; W. 11. Gardner, at the suit of George Augustus Brown ; Mary Ann Perryman, at the suit of James Edward Pye ; George Hicks, at the suit of W. H. Savage ; Arthur Wellesley Williams, at the suit of John Miller Duffield ; Samuel Bertie Ambosse, at th e su it o f George Samuel Ford ; George Pitt Rose, at the suit of Seneca Hughes ; Richard Samuel Mayer Spry, at the suit of John Forbes ; and Samuel George Beamish, at the suit of William Sylvester Wilson. GREAT BELL or HOWTH.—The Ballast Board has adopted the very useful engineering suggestion of our friend Mr. Steele, and has decided upon placing a splendid bell, that will cost about four hundred pounds, on the Bailly Rock on the Mountain Promonotory of Howth, to be rung as a warning to vessels approaching the rocky cliffs in heavy fogs.—Dublin paper. MILITARY SPREES.—A transaction, very dis creditable to some of the parties engaged in it, took place about ten o'clock on Saturday evening, on Pope's-quay. For some time past a house of rather a doubtful character has existed in that locality, which has caused much annoy ance to the respectable inhabitants residing there. They wasbt h e e i n purpose n s d t e r s i i j r c o t e u od s f o dt f oe t a pe b ar a rr a t i nidngeg theptahr ea quayne s ui f s rw a o n imt c h e , a hiredlighted resorting a bt torch,hoeyr, e sv for few evenings since an officer of the Royal Dragoons, passing in that direction, called to the boy and asked him his reason for carrying the torch, when the other very civilly informed him what his object was. Upon this the chivalrous son of Mars told him he should not annoy the ladies, and attempted to wrest the torch from him, but this was resisted by the boy, who made a blow of it at him. Having demanded the boy's name for the purpose of indicting him, the officer went away, and nothing more was heard of him until Sun day evening. About ten o'clock on that night several officers of the regiment, assisted by some of their ac quaintances, amounting in all to nine persons, sallied out armed with sticks fur the purpose of avenging the insult offered to their brother officer on the previous evening. Having arrived at Pope's Quay, they made an attack on the poor boy, about fourteen years of age, who began to cry out for help, when a man who was in the neighbour hood ran to his assistance, and called on them to desist beating him, but he was answered by being knocked down with a blow of a stick from one of the party, while another of them having placed his knee on his chest got his hand in his neckerchief, and struck his head against the ground. On this a young gentleman residing in the neighbourhood also went to render assistance, but was also knocked down, several of them striking bim in front and rear to gether. At this juncture of the proceedings constable .Porter and another sub-constable made their appear ance, and called on the officers to give their names and addresses, which they at first refused, but on being told that if they persisted in the refusal they should be taken into custody, some of the party gave their names, while others succeeded in making their escape. We are in possession of the names of the parties engaged in this affray, but as the transaction is likely to engage the attention of the courts in the conrse of a few days, it is deemed advisable not to publish them until it comes in a proper form before the public.—Cork Reporter. LECTURES ON ART.—At the Western Literary Institution on Thursday last, Mr. R. W. Buss, the ar tist, delivered a lecture on fresco, and the British school of Historical Painting ; and will complete the subject next Thursday. At the Islington Literary Institution, Mr. Samuel Nixon will give two lectures ou modelling and sculpture, December 10th and 17th. At the same place on January Ist, Mr. John Hawksworth will read a paper on art, considered in its ancient, mediaeval, and modern manifestations, with a view to the development of its prospective tendencies.

HUDSON'S BAY PuoDuci.—The annual arrival of furs, skins, &c., from the territory of the Hudson's Bay Company, has just taken place, by the vessel Prince Albert, which has just arrived in the London Docks from (the district named, extensively- laden with furs and skins of the most valuable descriptions, all of which are now free of duty, in addition to a large quantity of feathers, oil, sea-horse teeth, whalebone, and other productions of that northern region. REDUCTION OF RENTS.—Lord Rossrnore, " tread ing in th© footstep;" of the Earl of Erne, has just issued a circular, apprising his tenantry in the county of Mo. naghan, of his Lordship's determination to return 15 per cent. on the year's rent now in the coarse of payment THE COTTON CROP. - - The state of the cotton crops in America is at present of vast importance. We extract the following from the New YOuii Herald as bearing upon the point:— " We have conversed with au in,telligent merchant who has just returned from an excursion of some weeks in the interior of Georgia, and who has made particular in triries as to the ex rut of the cotton crop, as also the probable injury which it has sus!ained by the caterpillar and bore worm. From ad that he could learn, Georgia will be materially injured, while the greater portion of Alobama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, will be swept of fully one-half of the estimated prod uct t wo mcnt h s s i nce. It is the general opinion in those sections that in no event can the crop roach two millions, while the most intelli gent men with whom our informant conversed estimate it at eighteen or nineteen hundred thousand bales. We learn also that the crop in this state will not probably much exceed that of last year. The caterpillar and worm have appeared on several plantations in the upper districts." Extract of a letter to the editors of the Charleston Courier : " DECATUR (De Kalb Co., Gee.), SEPT. 22.—Seeing a great deal in your paper recently concerning the par tial loss and backwardness of our cotton crop, I embrace this opportunity of stating that such is the case with us. Our cotton is at least four weeks later than it was the last season. To speak in general terms, we have not more than two-thirds of a stand, and comparatively but a light crop of bolls. Even should the fall prove pro pitious, we shall not make more than a half crop." Extract of a letter received in Charleston:— " PINEvILLE, SEPT. 16, 1846.-1 am sorry to say that, within a few days the caterpillar has spread over, more or less, every plantation in this region, and are progressing pretty much as described from the island and main. They commenced on my place on Sunday, and sweep all the leaves and small pods and buds of the cotton. Confined at present to the luxuriant bottom and tender plants, I have no doubt the injury will be con siderable; how great, however, I cannot conjecture. They have commenced late, and most of the cotton being considerably matured, may be beyond injury from them. I am anxious to see whether, having destroyed the bolls, they will advance for subsistence upon the more matured plants of the high land. F rom w h at I have already seen I can easily conceive the total destruction which would follow their progress over fields a month younger than over them at this time. If they can destroy pods halt grown, as the accounts from below seem to testify, our loss may be very severe. Previous to this visitation of the barbarians, our crops were better than ordinary, in fact, than they had been for seven years past." During our recent visit to the Belle Cheney Springs, in travelling through an extensive cotton-grov.ing section of the parish of St. Land r y, we h a d an opportun i ty of satis fying ourself by personal observation, that the accounts we have received from the country relative to the destruction of the cotton crop by the caterpillars and in clement season, has been anything but exaggerated. In all the cotton fields we passed on our route, we have not seen one that indicated from its appearance a yield of one-third of an ordinary crop ; and we may safely ven ture to assert that nine out of twelve of the fields we passed will not produce the seed to replant them next year. There will certainly not be a fourth of a crop raised in St. Landry. What few bolls the worms left on the stocks, and have since opened, have been beaten out by the heavy rain, and the cotton lies rotting on the ground. We have never seen so gloomy a prospect for a crop of cotton. 'ALKIRK OCTOBER TRYST. MONDAY, OCT. 12.-The third and last for the season of these extensive annual markets com menced to-day, as usual, on the Muir of Stenhouse, and opened, at an early hour, with the sale of sheep. The stock was considered to be about one-third more than that shown in September, and in con siderably better condition, the weather since then having been very favourable for grazing and driving. In conse quence of the unpropitious state of the weather in the morning and early part of the forenoon, the lots were shown rather to a disadvantage ; but, notwith standing, from the great influx of dealers, every description met with a ready sale ; and not a single lot remained unsold after mid-day. The demand was so very great, that a number of south country dealers went into the counties of Perth and Stirling at the latter end of last week to meet the drovers, and after having made extensive purchases, stood the market to-day, and added very considerably to their former purchases. There appeared to be a par ticularly great demand for white-faced ewes for crossing. The advance on particular kinds was great, and we were credibly informed by extensive dealers from the north and south that the following statement may be relied on as correct :-Black-faced wedders from 5 to 6 per cent, above last market, and about 7} per cent. above the corresponding market of last year. Upon black-faced ewes the advance was considerable, this description of stock having been sold at a very low figure last year, in consequence of which they experi enced a rise of from 20 to 25 per cent. above last market. In reference to the white-faced stock, Cheviot wedders advanced about 7i per cent. above last month, and about 10 per cent. above last year; ewes of the same descrip tion about 15 per cent. above September prices, and about 20 per cent. above the prices obtained at the October market of last year. The principal reason assigned for this extraordinary demand is the abundance of foggage, and other keep in the south, not a single beast being allowed to cross the border before being picked up. It may be justly ob served, that for many years past such a market has not been experienced at Falkirk. As a proof of the abundant supply of labouring work in the country, we may mention that drivers for the south were so scarce that 4s. per day were refused, and, in some instances, ss. obtained for that description of labour, with a month or five weeks' engagement. In the early part of the afternoon a considerable num ber of black cattle appeared on the ground, and a few sales were effected; and it is generally supposed that the business of to-morrow will be as briskly got through as that of to-day. • TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13.-This day's proceedings commenced with the sale of cattle, and our antici pations of yesterday have been realised. The stock that appeared on the ground was about half more than last market, and had it not been for sales effected yesterday in the park s , it would have been considerably larger. The stock was in excellent condition, and the distance of time between the present and last market gave the dealers so fr t o h m ose ln fa v r e t r h n e e r ss-shire and rhe es e inert i ye g d ast a go good ruoornorth, an additional of bringi ng t h e i r stoc k for wardn as their nearer ne i g hb ours. en seven and ten thi s morn i ng p appearance, e ver y one T n nts hb o opportunityd very neighbouring oobndtwitanimatedeo county, appa rently anxious to buy; so much so, that two parties were occasionally observed bidding for the same lot. After that time, and up to one o'clock, a backwardness was observable, when again a movement took place; and within less than two hours upwards of 10,000 left the ground. We have been informed, by respectable individuals who have stood the market for upwards of f or t y years, that for the last thirty years they never saw s uc h a clearance effected on the first day of the market ; for when we left the ground, it was generally believed there would be no market to-morrow. No doubt the principal cause of the demand is the excellenc e and abundant quantity of foggage in the south. The advance upon 71. beasts was about 10s. a head higher than last market, and lower priced cattle up in proportion ; and about 1/. per head higher ithan the corresponding market of last year. The Aberdeen, Angus, Fife, and other heavy driving cattle, experienced a similar advance. In short, even the six quarter Highland queys also brought their advance. There was a very fair share of fat, which met with a favourable sale, at an advance of about 3d. per Dutch stone. The following are a few of the prices of the lots that came under our observation :-Mr. Archibald Cameron, of Glenshalloch, Lochaber, sold 40 three-year -old heifers, from the Isle of Skye, for 71. a head ; a lot of 60 three• year olds at 51. 12s. 6d.; 110 two-year-old heifers at Si.; 50 two-year-old heifers at 51. ss. ; 40 two-year-old ditto, 41.; 70 two-year-old slots at 4/.; 60 six-quarters at 3/. ; and 48 of the same age and seine description of stock at 31. 10s. A lot of 20 superior dun-coloured stots were sold to a gentleman in Dumfries-shire, at 101. A lot of 50 good two-year-old West Highlanders were purchased by Mr. Nixon, cif Carlisle, for 111. 10s. A lot of 96 three-year-old Angus-s hire stots brought Si. A lot of 100 West High landers, two-and-a-half years old, fetched 71. Mr. George Campbell, salesman, Edinburgh, bought thirty three palled cattle, three-year-olds, for 12/ 10s. This was allowed to be as good a lot of this kind as was in the market at the price. A score of Aberdeenshire stots, the ee-yrs-olds, were purchased for 11/. los. 6d. A lot of twenty three-yrs-olds brought 13/. ; and a lc.t of two and three-year-old Aberdeenshires brought 121. 7s. 6d. A lot of 50 two-year-old West Highland era brought 71. a head by a Dumfries dealer. Mr. Kennedy, of Tomatin, Inverness-shire, sold his lot of tht ee-year-old queys to Mr. M'Coll, Cumber land, at 74'. Bs.; also his two-year-old queys at 51. 7s. A good lot of fat was purchased by Mrs. Watson, of Glasgow a t 22/. a bead ; Messrs M`Phan sen d M'Cullock, , from near Inverness, sold iio three-year -old queys for 61. 12s.Ailot of Skye tof stots, grazeld near I nverness, sold 81. 5. A lot 20 two-yea r-old heifers were bought, on Monday after noon, by a Northumberland dealer, for 51. 7s. 6d. ; this lot is *lent t 2s. 6d. a head above last market, and the purchaser was offered a p ro fit to-day, but preferred taking th en: south. Another lot of the same kind was purchased b y the same gentleman to-day, although not a t o 3 d l. so good, f or t h e same money ; he a l so purc h ase d ano ther lot of 50 six- - quarter olds, f ro m Inverness, at 5/., a good quality.

Police-constable Charles Branson, E N 7, was charged with having been drunk - and absent from his duties. The defendant pleaded Guilty, urging, in extenuation of his offence, " that he had been only three months in the force, and was a imrried man." The inspector of the division deposed to the fact of the defendant's abc-nee, and stated that he found, him drunk in bed, at his own lodgings. His wife had re ported him as sick, and unable to attend to his duties, and the constable told witness that he had au attack of rheumatism, which disabled one of his legs. Mr. HALL inquired as to the defendant's general cha racter, and was informed that the man was considered a tolerably efficient constable. A few days, previously, however, he was found drunk, and the Commissioners of Police fined him ss. ; and it was durin g th e progress '' of this investigation that he again got d run k, an d dis appeared from his beat, as already stated. It was stated—and his Worship considered it a cir cumstance in the defendant's favour—that, having got drunk, he went home to bed, instead of attempting to resume his duties in a state of intoxication. The inspector feared that the defendant's means would scarcely enable him to pay the previous fine of ss. Mr. HALL lectured him on the folly of persisting in a course that must bring ruin upon himself and family, and fined him 205., committing him for seven days in default of payment. LAMBETH. William Wilmot Byrom, who has assumed innumer able aliases, and who has been in custody for a fortnight on various charges of obtaining money by false repret-en tations, and inserting advertisements in the daily and weekly papers, was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton for further examination. Mr. Knight, a solicitor, and Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, appeared for the prose cution ; and an attorney's clerk and Mr. Ballantine at tended on behalf of the prisoner. The first witness called was Miss Frances White, of Connaught• terrace, Edgware-road, who deposed on a former examination to having lent the prisoner 201., and his depositing in her hands as security three tea war rants, representing that the tea to which they referred was of the value of 901., and told her that by taking them to Mincing-lane they would be as good as a Bank note. Witness, on his saying this, expressed her sur prise, if such was the case, that he did not take them to Mincing-lane himself, and procure the money he required on them, instead of giving so large a premium for what he required. The prisoner's reply was, that if things were so done it would be most injurious to trade, and that he would rather pay anything for an amount which he might require on an emergency than take such securi ties into the market himself. The mother of this witness corroborated her testi mony. Mr. William Smith Adam, principal warehouseman to Messrs. Clarke and Rowe, tea-dealers, in Arthur street West, deposed that he had taken samples of the tea to which the warrants produced by Miss White re ferred, and found it to be perfectly worthless, or at least not worth 2d. a pound. Their flavour was quite noxious and any person knowing anything whatever of the qua lity of tea would not purchase them at any price. Mr. Clarkson—Then they are not of the value of 901.? Witness—Certainly not, nor 90d. The tea was origi nally black; but by some means, ho thought by an in fusion of copperas, an effort had been made to make it green. In his cross-examination by Mr. Ballantine, the wit ness said the tea in question came from China in its present state, and the expense of freight and landing would be about 3d. per pound. The usual course of business in the tea trade was for the merchant import ing to dispose of them short of the duty ; and this being done, the seller gave warrants for the different parcels, which entitled their holders to clear them upon paying the duty, which was 2s. 2-1-d. per pound, and the amount also of the warehousing. The duty upon all teas was the same, and there was nothing on the face of the warrants to denote either the quality of the teas to which they related, or of the amount that had been paid for them. In reply to Mr. Clarkson, witness said the duty upon the tea, to which the warrants pro duced referred, remains unpaid, and it, with the ware house fees, would amount to about 2s. 6d. per pound, while they were not worth id. a pound. The teas were ilia dorted in 1842, so that they had been four years in the warehouse. The cargo, of which they were a part, was well known in ithe trade, and was what was called the " fraudulent lot." Mr. A. B. Richards deposed, that on the 2d of July last he wrote a note in reply to an advertisement, and was waited upon on the following day by the prisoner, who represented himself as a watchmaker and jeweller, and gave his name as Edward Blatch ford. Witness ultimately agreed to lend him 301., the advertisement being only for 25L; but on paying him the money he paid him 5/. too much, which made 351.; for this the prisoner gave him his note of hand, and as a collateral security let him have a number of pawnbroker's tickets for property, for which as much as 601. appeared to be lent. When the note became due it was taken to be presented for payment; but the house at which it had been made payable was shut up, and had been so for a length of time before, and no such person as Mr. Blatchford was known there. He (witness) subse quently took part of the articles pledged out of pawn, and found that they were not worth the money ad vanced upon them. A tradesman in Camomile-street, Bishopsgate-street, whose name did not transpire, deposed to having been swindled out of a large sum of .money by the prisoner and another man. Another person, who represented himself as a builder, stated that he too had been cheated out of a sum of money by a companion of the prisoner, and mentioned, as a proof of the deep schemes and plans resorted to by these fellows, that the advertisement, through the means of which he had been led to part with his money, appeared in the Builder; so that in lending the money he thought he was assisting a distressed fellow-tradesman instead of a swindler. Mr. NORTON here called over the names of several persons who have been victimized by the prisoner and his associate, and who had since the last examination forwarded communications and statements of their dif ferent cases to him (Mr. Norton). Only one or two out of the whole having answered, Mr. Knight observed, that numerous persons were prevented from coming forward from the reluctance of having their names placed before the public in connexion with such transactions, or a dislike to have what they considered to be their silliness exposed. Mr. NORTON replied that he was quite aware of this, and expressed a hope that the publication of the parti culars of this case which had already obtained, would be productive of much good, as it would be the means he hoped, of exposing an ingenious system of fraud, which was being carried on to a very great extent, and place the public on their guard agaitist such persons for the future. Mrs. Raymont, a lady from whom the prisoner had received one sum of money, and his friend Mr. Barnes another sum, upon their note of hand, and depositing with her some tea warrants, was examined, and produced both the bills and the warrans. Sergeant Merrit, one of the officers engaged in the case, said he had procured samples of the tea, and had them tested by Messrs Thompson, tea-brokers, and they pronounced them to be worth no more than 3d. per lb. Mr. Adam here examined the samples produced by the officer, and observed that it was a little better than tha t which he had tested. Mr. Ballantine—l suppose it has less copperas in it than the other ?—(Laughter.) Witness—l suppose so ; at all events, it is a penny a pound better than the other. Mr. Clarkson—But still it is part of the " fraudulen lot." Mr. NORTON observed, that it was his opinion at the last examination, and he was of the same opinion still, that some unprincipled pawnbrokers had lent themselves to the practices of the prisoner and his confederates, by placing on their tickets a larger amount in the way of loan than the articles pawned were actually worth, and thereby assisted them in carrying on their system of imposition. Several persons in the body of the Court said that this was the fact, and one said that on a subsequent examina tion of the prisoner he should bring forward a clear case to establish the fact, and to show beyond dispute that pawnbrokers lent themselves in such cases. Mr. NORTON replied that he would be most ready to hear such a charge, and if he found tho charge esta ... _ _ blished against the pawnbroker he should live no hesitation in placing him at the bar alongside" the prisoner.—Remanded. . __ THAMES. William Lilly, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Broderip, to answer a charge of running Silbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco from the ship Blanche Adamson, recently arrived from Cadiz. He was de tected coming from the ship with the tobacco in his possession. The prisoner made no attempt to evade the conse sqauiednicte s wa o s f h t i h s e firstil le ga l o (Fe ntransaction.and begged H fi e ? r p pleaded mercy. guilty, Mr. BRODERIP said, the power of mitigation rested with the Commissioners of Customs, and not with him. Ho then inflicted the penalty of 1004 sued for, and com mitted the prisoner in default of payment. It was understood the fine would be materially reduced on petition to the Board of Customs, as the prisoner was not previously known to the revenue officers. Mary Liddle, aged 17, was brought before Mr. Brode rip yesterday, on a charge of robbing a poor woman, named Maria Anderson, of 14s. and other moneys. The prosecutrix, who resides in Mary-street, Poplar, met with a severe accident on Monday last, and fractured five of her ribs. She was taken home in an almost in sensible condition, and bled by a surgeon. While she was reclining in a chair, faint from the loss of blood and the injuries she had received, she felt the prisoner's hand in her pocket, and accused her of taking her money. The girl, who was that day employed in the house, said she was a liar, and left the room. The poor woman directly afterwards:missed her cash. Ou the next day the prisoner was expending a good deal of silver, and treating various persons with liquor. She was committed for trial. --- GREATER AND LESSER SINS.—Dr, 'Brisbane. says that when he was in South Carolina, one of his B a p t i st brethren underwent a c h urc h trial for a very serious offence. This Baptist brother had been the means of separating a slave husband and wife for ever. He had been importuned not to do it—to sell them both to one master, and not wring their hearts with the agony of separation ; but he said he " would see them both in hell first I" He was brought up before the church, and tried, for what, think ye ? For the inhumanity of sundering man and wife ? No ; but for using profane language ! His spiritual advisers and co-workers took no thought of the crime of parting what God had joined together, but they were very much horrified at the profane expression used by their brother!--Emanci pator.

NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS.— On Thursday, the follow ing accidents were admitted into the wards of the Lon don Hospital :—The' first case was that of William Webb, aged thirty years, who, whilst employed in load ing a cart with grains, at Abbott's brewery, Bow, East Middlesex, slipped, and fell therefrom, and the h orses and the fore wheels passed over his body, and he had received a severe lacerated scalp wound, one of his arms was broken, together with his shoulder bone, both jaws were broke, and several ribs fractured. Not the slightest hopes could be entertained of recovery. The second case was that of John Warner, a carpenter, aged 32 years. He was employed at the wharf of the Thorneley Coal Company, at Batcliffe-cross, Lime house, and was cutting a large piece of timber with an adze, when the axe glanced off and lodged itself between the ancle and instep,, nearly severing the foot. The third case was that of Charles Page, aged fifty years, who, when going alon g t h e L eytonstone-road, Essex, with a cart loaded with hay, was knocked down by another vehicle, and the wheels passed over and broke both his legs. c WORKS by ROBERT J.
