TO THE DTDEPENDIOTT LITEBYMEN OF THE CITY 0: LONDON. GENTLEMEN, —The approaching Michaelmas day, while it reminds me that I shall, according to rotation, again appear before you as the Alderman next in order for the Civic Chair, at the same time also reminds me of the great debt of grati tude I am under for the kind continued support and confidence you have awarded to me for the last four years ; indeed, I may say from the time I first came publicly under your notice as candidate for the °Mee of Sheriff in the year 1838, when by a large majority you elected me, opposed as I was by to o gentlemen of high standing and great influence. Tour support has been invaluable throughout a serious struggle With the attacks and perplexities consequent upon my having in cautiously become a member of a Joint Stock Company. The only return for such a continued mark of your favour which could be made by me, was the fearless and faithful discharge of my Public duties, and to that I have devoted myself, I trust, to your satisfaction, and to the advantage of the public. I now again beg to assure you that I am quite ready and willing to Place myself at your entire disposal, to uphold your rights and Privileges, and faithfully to discharge the duties which may devolve on me. „,•Micw me, therefore, to entreat you to attend the Common Hall on IVEBDAY, the 29th instant, at Twelve o'clock, and again afford me that support which has sustained me through my various conflicts, and Which I hope will consummate your expectations. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient and faithful servant, THOMAS WOOD. 2, Corbet-court, Gracechurch-street, Sept. 26, 1846. TO THE LIVERY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, —In deference to the opinion of my friends, I beg leave to acquaint you that my name will be submitted to you at the ensuing ELECTION of LORD MAYOR, on TVEEIDAT NEXT, the 29th instant, and to request the favour of your attendance at Guildhall on that day, to secure my return to the Court of Aldermen, as one of the two Senior Aldermen in rotation for the Mayoralty. In thus requesting your adherence in my favour to the custom Which you have adopted for so many years, I disclaim any wish or i ntention to interfere, in the slightest degree, with the claims of any other Alderman to be by your favour elected Chief Magistrate ; and now address you, in justice to the Ward I have the honour to re- Present and to myself, to request at the Common Hall, and if feces :l7 at the Poll, that support which you have been so long accustomed Sive to an Alderman occupying the position in which I am now Placed. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, G. CARROLL. Cavendish-square, Sept. 25, 1846.

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

To Mr. THOMAS PROM, 229, Strand, London. Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Hants, October 26, 1844. Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get mu of my bed, and after I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and Within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that Suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.-1 ours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community, 'nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth -ache, Sec. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; an by his appoint . spent, by all respectable medicine vendors throughout the United Stitigdona. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

Cox, Cobbold, and Co. SECRETARY—CharIes T. Beake, Esq. - - The Harwich Steam Packet Company is formed for the purpose of establishing steam communication with the ports of Northern Germany, Holland, and Belgium, by which a considerable saving of time and expense will be effected in voyages to and from those ports. Although the entire line of railway communication between Lon don and Harwich is not yet perfected, It is confidently expected that the small portion from Manningtree to Harwich, which alone is wanting to its completion, will be authorised during the next session of Parliament; by which means, and by the erection of a steam boat pter at Harwich, the facilities of communication will be much increased, The tedious navigation of the Thames and the dangerous passage of the Swin will be entirely avoided, and in their stead will be substituted a railway journey of two hours and a half. From Hamburgh, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Ostend, and other ports, lines of railway in connexion together and running to all the capitals of Europe, are in course of formation, many of them being in fact al ready completed. The advantages to be derived from Har vich becoming the poi t for passenger and other traffic to Northern and Central Europe, may be gathered from the following condensed evidence, given by Captain Washington, R.N., before a Committee of the House of Com mons :-- Harwich will become the Packet Station for our communications with Northern and Central Europe on the completion of the railway. Letters dispatched from the London General Post Office would be delivered in less than three hours on board the steam packet lying alongside the pier. Passengers would walk on board, and in less than a quarter of an hour be clear out at sea in all weathers and all times of the tide, with nearly sixty nautical miles in advance of those dispatched from the Thames, and thus a whole tide would probably be saved in the arrival at Ostend, the Brielle, or other bar harbours ; while in north-easterly gales and fogs steamers would often make their passages to the nearer ports before those starting from Lond n could get clear of the shoals and currents of the Gulf which forms the estuary of the Thames. Besides this opinion of Captain Washington, the Commissioners appointed by Government to examine the capabilities of the various Harbours of Refuge on the English coast, have made the following report regarding Harwich : Extracts from the Report of the Commissioners to the Lords of the Treasury on Harbours of Refuge. HARWICH HARBOUR. We have now to submit to your Lordships a few observations re specting Harwich Harbour, which we consider one of very great im portance to the trade of the country. This Harbour, formed by the junction of the rivers Stour and Or well, is one of the finest, and may be rendered one of the most useful, Havens in the kingdom. It has a sufficient depth of water and good holding ground over an extent capable of containing many hun dred skips. It is remarkably wall situated for the convenience of a North Sea squadron, and for the protection of the mouth of the Thames. It is the only safe Marbour along this coast, and is in the direct line of traffic between the Thames and the northern Ports of the kingdom, as well as of the trade from the north of Europe. There is a Dockyard, with building slips, belonging to the Crown, and the property under the Ordnance Department is extensive. The bottom at the entrance to the Harbour and the coast on each side is composed of blue or London clay, in which are layers of " cement stone," in great demand both in England and on the Con tinent. Hundreds of hands are constantly engaged in collecting it. Nothing can be more manifest than the fact that Harwich, as far as position goes (being actually on the shores of the North Sea), is the proper place for a squadron of steamers on that station, as well as for a Harbour of Refuge for merchant ships ; while the neigh bouring anchorage in Hollesley Bay is favourably suited for ships of the line. In the Appendix there are reports to the Admiralty, from the Officer carrying on the surveying service in the neighbourhood of Harwich, to which we beg to refer for a full confirmation of our opinion of the necessity of taking immediate measures for the pre servation and improvement of this Harbour. T. RYAN MARTIN, Admiral, Chairman. The Government works fir improving Harwich Harbour, as sug gested in the above report, are now being rapidly proceeded with. The great saving of time effected by the adoption of the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union Railways and the Harwich Steam Packets, is a matter of too great notoriety to be here dwelt on. But it may be remarked that this great saving of time is on a sea voyage, and that during the winter months, and in bad weather, the difference is often immense. Besides which, in calculating the duration of the passage from and to the port of Harwich, the time is to be considered as certain, that harbour being accessible for steamers in all winds and at all times of the tide. Independently of the advantages thus offered for the communica tion between London and the German and Dutch coasts, it must be added, that Harwich is nearer than Hull to Hamburg by more than thirty miles, and to Rotterdam by upwards of one hundred miles; so that when the railways now in construction and projected, for connecting Harwich with the Midland, Western, and Northern Counties of England, are completed, the proposed line of communi eation with the E'be and with Holland will necessarily obtain the preference. to a very considerable extent, over that by the way of Hull. _ _ . •- _ _ It is intended to provide powerful steam boats, built on the most improved principles in respect of construction and engines, replete with every possible convenience and comfort, and adapted to the ample accommodation of passengers ; and that they shall also carry a limited quantity of suitable cargo. The expected traffic by the steamers has been ascertained from the most correct data procurable, and the Tables of Traffic framed with the greatest care ; and from the calculations made, the receipts of the Steam Packet Company, after making ample deduction for ex penses, will produce at least 7 per cent. upon the capital. In addi tion to this, the calculations show that the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union Railway Companies will be largely benefited by an Important increase of revenue to their respective railways. Arrangements have been made with the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union Railway Companies, by which the Proprietors of the Steam Packet Company will receive a Dividend of not less than 5 per cent. per annum on their subscriptions; and therefore the Shares will be distributed among the Proprietors of those two Railway Companies and of the Northern and Eastern, and Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Companies, in the proportion of 24,000 Shares to the Eastern Counties and Northern and Eastern Railway Compa nies, and 6,000 Shares to the Eastern Union and Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Companies. _ _ The registered ProPriotori of the said several Railway Companies, desirous of participating in the benefits of this undertaking, are re quested to signify their intention to take the shares allotted to them by paying the deposit thereon to either of the Company's bankers. The proportion of the Harwich Steam Packet Company's Shares for the holders of the new 141. 16s. Shares in the Eastern Counties Rail way Company, and for the holders of Scrip Shares in the Northern and Eastern Railway Company, will be set apart for them, and each holder, on transmitting his Scrip to the office of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and requesting an allotment of shares, will re ceive a letter of allotment accordingly. The Shares not applied for on or before the 10th day of October next by such Scripholders, will be allotted by the Directors to such other persons as shall appear to be most eligible. The Deed of Settlement will provide for a proper reserved fund, and will in other respects be prepared with the greatest care and in the most approved form, for the protection and benefit of the Share holders, and giving the Directors power to apply for a Charter of In corporation. Interest, at five per cent. per annum, will, under this Deed of Set tlement, be payable to the Shareholders from the tine of payment of the deposit. A copy of the Deed of Settlement may be Inspected at the offices of this Company, and of the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union Railway Companies.

The Directors recommend the proposed arrangements to the Share holders, as being much to their advantage, and most calculated to ensure the speedy completion of the line, and to afford the best guarantee of its being efficiently worked for the public convenience. Those of the Shareholders who are desirous of receiving back, in conformity with these arrangements, the full deposit of 2/. 2s. on each share, are requested to transmit their scrip to Mr. Henry Cassin, the Accountant to the Company, at the Company's offices, at No. Z, Church-court, Old Jewry, London, at any time between the hours of Ten and Three, from Monday, the 21st instant, to Monday, the sth of October. On the scrip, or bankers' receipts, or secretary's receipts for scrip, being delivered up the holders thereof will receive back the full de posit of 21. 2s. upon each share. Those parties who (as holders of shares in the original Coventry and Leicester and Coventry, Nun eaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Companies) have only paid a de posit thereon of 11. 55., may in like manner receive back 11. ss. on each such share.

To be had at the Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross. The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, rho advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to ary light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell ner smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, Sze. ; these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than is com monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manuntetoriee, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir Jour; RENNIE, President, in the Chair. "A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was heated, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, The flame was quite white dowu the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third."

The person alluded to carried his medicines, &c., in a blue bag, and went from house to house, promising to cure every complaint and disease in a few days. He had obtained a sovereign from a person living in the next house to the deceased. The following is a small portion, copied from one of the handbills issued by them:— " Important to the Afflicted, free of any charge.— Jordan and Co., Professors of Medical Botany, Russell street, Bloomsbury-square. —Notice.—It has been inti mated to Messrs. Jordan and Co., since their return from the continent, that in consequence of certain illi terate quacks, they have deemed it necessary to acquaint them of their miraculous cures, &c. And beg to add that we are not connected with any other professors, being sole proprietors of the herbal prescriptions." [Then follow on the names of twenty persons who hal e been cured by its wonderful properties.] The CORONER then summed up the evidence, and re marked that the investigation had clearly shown that the deceased had died from general bodily disease, arising from natural causes. The jury then returned a verdict of Natural Death. THE DAGENHAM MURDER. DEATH OF MRS. PARSONS, THE WIFE OF SERGEANT PARSONS, FROM GRIEF AND FRIGHT. —There was a re port on Saturday that the constables who perjured them selves before the coroner, as well as Sergeant Parsons, would be charged with the crime before the magistrates, and in consequence the Court was crowded, but the re port turned out to be untrue. In the course of the morning, however, it was stated to the bench that the wife of Parsons had died under circumstances of a melan choly character, which appeared to excite the curiosity of those present. It will be remembered that when the constables gave their " second evidence" to the coroner, contradicting all their previous testimony with respect to the sergeant being on duty on the night of the murder, the 29th of June, they all appeared stripped of their uniform, sand attended by:other police-constables, who were directed not to lose sight of them. The sergeant, although he had not diverged from his previous testi mony, was among them and under strict surveillance. This was on August 20, and at the time Mrs. Parsons had been recently confined. What orders were given with respect to her and her husband are not known, but at the inquest, on Tuesday last, Mr. Rawlings, the soli citor, who attended for Sergeant Parsons, said he had a complaint to make against Mr. Superintendent Pearce of harsh conduct towards Mrs. Parsons, who, at the time, was in a delicate state of health, and who at the present time was in an exceedingly dangerous state, arising as he had been instructed, from the treatment she had received from the superintendent. Seeing Mr. Pearce present, he had, on behalf of the friends, made the complaint, in order that he should be in a condition to give a denial to it if it was untrue. He (Mr. Rawlings) understood that Mr. Pearce's conduct was such towards Mrs. Parsons that Mr. Superintendent Marquard was compelled to remonstrate with him. Mr. Marquard said he wished to state that such was not the fact; he had no occasion whatever to remonstrate with Mr. Pearce, who did his arduous duty in a most proper and humane manner. The CORONER. said, from what he had seen of Mr. Pearce, he felt satisfied that he was incapable of acting in :a harsh manner towards any female, especially to Mrs. Parsons, who was placed in her present situation by the misconduct of her husband. Mr. Superintendent Pearce said he could assure the coroner that he pitied the situation in which Mrs. Par sons was placed, and instead of acting harshly towards her, he had treated her with the greatest kindness con sistent v%ith the duty he had to perform, which was one of great importance and responsibility. Mr. Rawlings was perfectly satisfied with Mr. Pearce that he had not acted harshly towards Mrs. Parsons, but as Mr. Rawlings, her father, was now present, perhaps Mr. Pearce would satisfy him. Mr. Rawlins (the father) said that his child was then in a most dangerous state, suffering from nervous fever, which she said had been caused by Mr. Pearce's treat ment of her, he having ordered the police to watch her, and not let her escape. This was what his daughter stated ; and if anything serious happened to her, he should insist on having:a coroner's inquest on her, the surgeon who attended her saying that fright, so soon after her confinement (only five weeks), had caused her illness. Mr. Pearce said he had never ordered any of the police to watch her, but had told the man to attend to any communication that might pass between her and her husband. He felt deeply for her situation, but had done no more than his duty. Mr. Rawlins, who is the keeper of a beer shop at Barking Side, appeared satisfied with Mr. Pearce's ex planation. _ This was the conversation before the Coroner, and we must now go back to the time of Mrs. Parsons leaving her husband's abode, and taking refuge with her father. This was shortly after the strict surveillance commenced, when Parsons could not move without a constable being in attendance upon him, and it began to make such a visible effect upon Mrs. Parsons that it was thought ad visable to remove her to her father's house at Barking Side. The fright and grief at her husband's situation had, however, taken so deep an effect upon her system, that, despite the active attendance of a medical gentle man, death terminated her mental and bodily sufferings late on Thursday night. With regard to the constables who committed such wholesale perjury, the almost universal cry is, " What is to be done with them ?" but no one knows. An in dictment for perjury against them, it is stated by several lawyers, will not stand, and therefore the only punish ment will be dismissal from the force. In justice to Sergeant Parsons, it may be stated that it has been satisfactorily proved to the police authorities, although for some reason withheld from the coroner's jury, that Parsons was doing his duty properly from half-past ten o'clock till twelve on the night of the murder. The constables are still under surveillance. In addition to the above, a correspondent states, we know not how truly, that there has been a meeting of the several heads of divisions of police at Scotland-yard, for the purpose of devising the best means of discovering the murderer or murderers of the unfortunate man Clarke. The result of that meeting is the proposition of enlarging the amount of reward for the discoverer of the murderer from 1001. to 500/. ; and as the police feel that a certain odium has been cast upon the force gene rally by the non-discovery of the murderer, they pro pose to raise by voluntary subscriptions amongst them selves the other 4001., in order that the perpetrator may be brought to justice. The scale of subscriptions from constables, inspectors, &c., will be settled by the heads of divisions, when it will be left to the men's discretion to subscribe to it.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 24.—Rumours are circulated in the best informed quarters here that Parliament will cer tainly assemble in November, and it is confidently stated that the Lord-Lieutenant has in the strongest terms urged the necessity of such a step upon the attention of the Cabinet. It is also affirmed that his Excellency has applied for powers to adopt the plans of relief by repro ductive works so earnestly pressed upon the Executive in the memorials, resolutions, &c., adopted at the nume rous relief meetings held within the last month. The Mail of this evening has it, that Lord Besborough has pressed for authority to carry this plan into operations at once, and to trust to a Parliamentary indemnity if it should be thought to be contrary to the letter of the Relief Act. This day a deputation, consisting orSir Davkl Roche and Mr. Monsell, of Tervoe, had an audience of his Excelling the Lord-Lieutenant, to present a memorial agreed to at a baronial meeting, held in the county of I Limerick on the 22d instant—the Earl of Dunroven in the chair. The main point in the memorial was the re commendation of the proposition that all relief moneys should be expended in permanent improvements of the soil, by drainage or otherwise, but not in ordinary cul. tivation. His Excellency entered most warmly into the spirit of the resolutions laid before him, fully acceded to the propriety and necessity of adopting the plan, and concluded by giving the deputation reason to believe that, previous even to the assembling of Parliament, the Executive in this country would adopt the suggestions recommended. A deputation from the Royal Agricultural Improve ment Society also waited upon the Lord-Lieutenant to day, for the purpose of presenting an address, the prayer of which was nearly similar to the memorial from Limerick. His Excellency, in his reply, stated— " That he fully concurred in the general principle laid down in it—namely, the propriety of employing the la bouring classes upon works connected with husbandry, if possible, and of a profitable and reproductive nature ; but he feared that the Presentments Act, c. 107, of Viet., did not enable them to do so, as the law officers of the Crown had given it as their opinion that its operations were confined to public works alone, such as are con templated in the Grand Jury and Presentment Acts, by which it was construed. He had, however communicated his views on the subject, as well as those of others, re ceived from all quarters in a similar strain, to her a jesty's Government, and without being able to promise anything specific, he hoped to have it in his power shortly to give them information on the result of the communication, which he trusted would be satisfactory. He felt he could not say more at present than to thank them for-the very handsome manner in which they bad alluded to himself personally in the memorial, which he should make it his duty to transmit to the proper quarter." - Meanwhile, from the multitudinous reports of baronial sessions meetings, it would seem that the gentry and cess-payers are resolved to act up to, if not go beyond, the spirit of the widely condemned Labour-rate Act. The moneys continue to be voted with as liberal a hand as though there were no such gloomy prospect in the distance as the day of reckoning. Thus, 198,1191. have been already voted at the six first sessions for the county of Cork, while sessions, in other baronies in the same county, are in course of being held. In Clare, present ments have been made on a still more magnificent scale, the total amounting to upwards of 300,000/. At one baronial sessions in the county of Donegal, the amount of presentments fisted, without a single remonstrance or complaint, was 40,0001.; at Castlebar the enormous sum of 80,0001. was assessed; and so on from one end of the kingdom to the other. The Evening Mail complains— and indeed the complaint is universal—that these sums have been devoted to the purposes, not merely useless, but mischievous (as entailing permanent expense) of making roads not required by any necessities of the dis tricts ; and that at a time when every one admits that there is not an acre in Ireland in which a return of at least ten per cent. might not be secured upon a judicious outlay of capital. It is worthy of remark, that in their zeal to carry out the provisions of the Act, the gentry have, in various instances, assessed baronies one-third beyond the value of the rental, a proceeding that may hereafter lead to results other, perhaps, than those con templated. The Marquis of Westmeath, as Lieutenant of the county, has jest issued the following notification:— " County of Westmeath to Wit.—As the evils of the present crisis, regarding the food of the people, increase from day to day, and as no system of dividing th e county for managing the resources which may be ob tained or made available, as the law now stands, has been devised, to prevent further loss of time in corre• spondence, and that the exertions of all parties upon whom responsibility rests may tend to usefulness, I can• not but think a county meeting indispensable; therefore I invite a meeting of the lieutenancy, the magistrates, and the clergy of all persuasions, to meet at the County hall, in Mullingar, on Friday, the 2d of October, at twelve o'clock exactly, when business will be proceeded with. It is requested that the deputy-lieutenants and magistrates, will provide themselves with the names of absentee proprietors having a population on their estates, in their several baronies, in order that efficient appliza• tion may be made to them to assist in their support, if they shall have not already done so, upon the present awful visitation impending on the country. " WESTMEATH, Lieutenant. " Clonyn, Sept:24." The subjoined copy of instructions from the Court of Chancery in Ireland has been addressed to the guardians_ of the estates of minors, lunatics, &c. It bears date September 25, " The Lord Chancellor desires to call the particular and immediate attention of the guardians, committees, and receivers of the estates of minors and lunatics, under the care of the Court, to the provisions of an Act of the 1 last session of Parliament (chapter 101), entitled An Act to authorise the advance of Public Money, to a limited amount, to promote the Improvement of land in Great Britain and Ireland, by works of Drainage,' with a view to their having inquiries 'made as to the condition of the respective estates in reference to the objects of the said Act, and whether it can be beneficially applied to their improvement. " Such inquiry appears to the Lord Chancellor to be more urgently necessary in cases where, by the failure of the potato crops, it is important to provide useful and remunerative employment for the poorer tenants. The Act empowers guardians and committees to make appli cation to the Commissioners of Public Works for advances by way of loan, according to the terms therein pre scribed, and it will be proper to obtain from the Corn missioners such instructions as they may have framed for the purpose of carrying out its provisions. When it is ascertained that the Act can be beneficially made use of on any estate, it will be the duty of the receiver, committee, or guardian of it, to lay a statement of the facts before the master in the matter, or the vacation master, for his direction, who will decide whether appli cation for an advance should be made, and give instruc tions accordingly. . _ _ _ "In addition to the works for which advances may be made under the before•mentioned Act, the Lord Chancellor directs the attention of receivers, committees, and guardians of the estate of minors and lunatics to the condition of those estates in other respects ; and if they shall find that any other works of improvement may be beneficially undertaken upon them, calculated to afford employment and relief to the poorer tenants, they should lay statements of them before the master in the matter, or the vacation master, in order that he may judge whether, having regard to the funds in the matter which would be properly available thereto, he will direct any proceedings to be had for obtaining an order of the Court upon the subject.

The Cork Examiner says : "On Wednesday last the adjourned Road Sessions was held at Clashmore, for the barony of Decies within Drum, in the county of Waterford ; and the magis trates, having finished the business about five o'clock, left the court-house to proceed to their respective resi dences, when a large mob of at least 3,000 persons com menced throwing stones at Lord Stuart de Decies, the lieutenant of the county. The dragoons charged them, under volleys of stones, and must have wounded several of the rioters. One man had his ear and the side of his face out off. Lord Huntingdon, Sir Richard Musgrave, Mr. Thomas J. Fitzgerald, Mr. Simon Bagge, and Mr. Richard Power Ronayne, magistrates, rushed among the mob, and did all they scold to stop the throwing of stones, and but for their interference the dragoons would have fired, as they could not stand the stone throwing, particularly from the churchyard. No thing could equal the fury of the mob against his Lord ship and Sir Henry W. Barron, who fortunately was not at the sessions. Several of the dragoons were severely hurt. We are happy to say, his Lordship escaped un hurt; but for the dragoons he would most certainly have been murdered. It is most extraordinary why his Lord ship should have been selected for such a murderous attack, for he is a kind and very indulgent landlord, and " lets his ground for the value to the occupiers, and has 60 men employed at Ballyheeny (close to the scene of attack) draining, at which they earn Is. 6d. a day, besides employing about 300 men on ether parts of his estate. He was also most anxious, with the other magis trates, to pass all works to give employment, and in tended to drain every acre of wet land on his estate. There is but one feeling prevalent among all well-dis posed persons, that this was a most ; disgraceful attack on CERTIFICATE.

At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. ARNOLD delivered judgment in the following cases, which had been standing over some days:— Edward Meyrick, on the list of voters as a freeman and liveryman of the Company of Dyers, was objected to upon the ground that he had not resided for six months before the 31st of last July within seven miles of the Guildhall, as required by the 32d section of the Reform Act. He was described in the list as residing at No. 41, Brown's-lane, Spitalfields. The facts proved were as follow:—Mr. Meyrick resides principally at Windsor, beyond the seven miles, with his sister, and has a regular establishment there. The house, No. 41, Brown's-lane, is in the occupation of a Miss Alford, who lets two furnished rooms— a bed-room and sitting-room—to Mr. Meyrick, for 10/, a year. She does not let any other part of the house in lodgings, and she only lets these rooms to Mr. Meyrick as being an old friend. Mr. Meyrick hires the rooms for the purpose of protect ing his vote for the City. During the six months previous to the 31st of last July ho has slept there just five times—once in the month of February, three times in April, and on one other occasion the date of which was not ascertained. The rooms are not generally used during his absence for any other pur pose; but they have been so on one occasion during the six months in question. Mr. Meyrick generally calls at the house once a week, and frequently takes his meals there, but he does so as Miss Alford's guest, and makes no payment in respect of them. His sister sometimes comes to town, and sleeps at the house as a friend, in a spare room. Mr. Meyrick has no servants in the house. The question is whether these facts constitute a resi dence by Mr. Meyriek at 41, Brown's-lane. It is not, perhaps, possible to give a definition of the term " resi dence" which shall be applicable to every case. The residence required, for example, under the settlement law is very different from that sufficient to confer the franchise. Some of the cases decided by the Com mittees of the House of Commons have extended the doctrine as far, perhaps, as it could be legitimately car ried; but I thick it will be found that in every case where the voter was considered to have a sufficient resi dence he had a fixed and permanent place of abode, though he may not have resided there continuously. The present case, though distinguishable in some of the facts, falls, I think, within the principle of Whithorn and Thomas, decided upon appeal by the Court of Common Pleas (Bor. and Am. 259). In both cases there was a substantial, that is a fixed and permanent residence at a place more than seven miles distant from the borough ; and also the possession or occupation of a place within the borough, where the party might, per haps, if he liked, have resided permanently, but which was used rather for the purposes of a temporary accom modation. In both cases too the place was taken and retained with a view of enabling the party to vote, which, though not decisive in itself, is, as was observed by Mr. Justice Coltman, in the case referred to, an im portant ingredient in ascertaining whether the place was taken or occupied with the intention of residing there. The infrequency of the occasions of sleeping there is also a striking fact in both cases, though taken by itself it would also not be decisive, as a party might retain a re sidence in a house, though, in fact, he had not himself slept there once during the prescribed period ; as where lie had gone away with the intention of returning, and had left his family or servants residing there. But in both these cases the party had no servant, nor any sem blance of an establishment, at the house in which he is alleged to have had a residence. Upon the whole, therefore, I think that Mr. Meyrick did not reside at the house in question within the meaning of the 32d section, and that his name must consequently be expunged. Mr. ARNOLD inquired whether Mr. Brown intended •to appeal against the decision? Mr. Brown—lf I give notice of appeal, subject to the sanction of Mr. Meyrick, will the Court allow me to withdraw it afterwards if Mr. Meyrick should not con sent? Mr. ARNOLD—Ye& Mr. ARNOLD then delivered the following judgment in the case of George Smith, of the Girdlers' Company, who was objected to upon a similar ground as in the case of Mr. Meyrick. He was described in the list as resid ing at 15, Gough-square. His general residence with his wife and establishment was at Colney Hatch, more than seven miles from the City. The house in Gough square was the place where Mr. Smith formerly lived with his family, and carried on his business, and he still holds the premises under a lease. But some time ago he gave up the premises and business to his sons under an agreement, not an assignment of the lease, in which there is a proviso " that the said George Smith and his family shall and may at his pleasure occupy the said house, No. 15, Gough-square, and use and occupy the same at all times, as he has hitherto occupied the same." Since this agreement the sons have paid the rent and taxes of the premises. Mr. Smith continued to sleep there sometimes, but he would not undertake to say that during the six months previous to the 31st of July he had slept there more than three times. He had no servants there, but he took his meals with his sons two or three times a week, but without paying for them. I do not consider the case so clear as that of Mr. Mey rick, but still I am of opinion that Mr. Smith has not a legal residence at the place in question. The fact of his having previously resided in the house, and his having reserved to himself and family the right to occupy it again in the same manner at his pleasure, are un doubtedly strong circumstances in the case, but I think they only amount to this—that the party may, if he thinks fit, renew his residence there whenever he pleases, and as he is not in point of fact occupying the house now with his family in the same manner as he did for merly, they do not show that hd is now residing there. I am of opinion, therefore, that in this case also the occupation is a temporary and casual one, and does not constitute a residence as required by the statute.—Name expunged. Mr. Wansey, in reply to a question from Mr. Arnold, said he did not intend to give notice of appeal in Mr. Smith's case. The lists of householders for the parishes of St. Helen and St. Ethelburga were then gone through, after:which the Court adjourned until Wednesday next, when Mr. Arnold will proceed with the parish of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate. The following was the result of the revision of the householders' lists at the rising of the Court : Failed or Sustained. Withdrawn.

On Saturday au adjourned inquest w as_ held at the Swan Inn, Peckham New Town, before Mr. Carter, on the body of Mr. William Dunham, aged 57, of 1, Alpha street,it was alleged, had died from lB3 effects ro P o e quackPeckham , " h ° medicines. It appeared that the deceased had been attended by a surgeon of the name of Morris, who reluctantly gave it as hi s opinion that he would not survive the winter, in consequence of the disease under which he laboured. Dissatisfied with this opinion, the deceased called in a person connected with the firm of Jordan and Co, and took two bottles of medicine and a bcx of pills, for which he paid 20s. On Sunday last, whilst sitting in the drawing-room, he fell down on the carpet, and when Mr. Morris reached the house he was quite dead. Mr. Morris, who was assisted by Mr. Lawrence, the eminent surgeon, deposed to having made a post-mortem examination of the body. and stated death to have arisen from a diseased liver and kidneys. lie also stated that he had examined the medicines, one of which contained opium; and be further said that if the deceased had been suffering from apoplexy, opium would stop the natural secretions of the body and cause death. It was here mentioned by a person in the inquest room, that the man who supplied the medicines repre sented the firm of Jordan and Co., Russell-street, Bloomsbury-square, and although Mr. Morris, the sur- . . z . ~. • • , ' •,:•-•. r , .0 ~/i , 1 ..g . .

The Examiner also contains the following:— "DISTURBANCE IN YOUGHAL.—Her Majesty's war steamer Myrmidon, with two gun-boats in tow, and a large number of marines and gunners on board, arrived in our harbour yesterday, and proceeded immediately to Youghal, to protect the shipping interest of that port. "FURTHER FOOD OUTRAGES.—On Wednesday last a numerous body of labouring men, from the district of Shanagarry, came into the town of Cloyne, and, after exhibiting their force for the purpose of intimidating the shopkeepers, proceeded to rifle the flour and provi sion shops. The bakers, seeing that resistance was com pletely useless, thought they might as well permit 'it with a good grace, and, for the purpose of protecting their remaining property, generously distributed their loaves to the hungry claimants, who retired without com mitting further irjury. " We have heard that a similar demonstration took place yesterday in Cnstlemartyr, and that the labourers were not satisfied until they were similarly feasted. "It was rumoured this morning that Moore Park, the residence of Lord Mountcashell, had been attacked yes terday, and a quantity of Indian corn, stored in an out house fur the use of the tenantry, abstracted. On in quiry, however, it has been ascertained that no such outrage was committed, nor was there any attempt to warrant even the rumour." " CLONBIEL, 'SEPT. 23. Major-General his Roya, Highness Prince George of Cambridge will arrive at Limerick on the 30th instant, to take charge of this dis trict. It is strongly rumoured here that the 34th Depot and the Royal Artillery stationed here will be re moved to make room for head-quarters of a regiment, which could be easily effected now by the additional ac commodation afforded by Mr. Bianconi's house, which the Ordnance still retain as a barracks, although the period for which they originally hired it has expired." THE REPEAL MAGISTRATES. At the eleventh hour, and when the act of amnesty has lost its grace, the Government have thought proper to reinstate Mr. Smith O'Brien in the commission of the peace. The correspondence annexed will tell the his tory of the circumstances connected with Mr. O'Brien's peculiar case:— ." Secretary's Office, Four Courts, Dublin, Sept. 22. " Sir,—l am directed by the Lord Chancellor to in form you that he yesterday received a letter, enclosing to him a document signed by several magistrates of the county Limerick, stating their regret at being deprived of your advice and assistance as a magistrate, and sug gesting to him that your restoration to the commission of the peace would be productive of advantage to the county. " The Chancellor directs me to say, that, on examin ing the lists of magistrates who had been removed from the commission of the peace, which he did in conse quence of a communication from the Lord-Lieutenant (as you aro no doubt aware from the statements in Parliament and the public papers), he found that you had not been removed for any specific cause, but had yourself resigned the commission, and been superseded at your own request. Under these circumstances he did not cause any communication to be made to you on the subject, deeming it a matter altogether for your own discretion and judgment whether you would think fit to intimate your wish to be replaced on the magistracy ; but having received such a statement from a large body of the magistrates of the county, he cannot hesitate to inform you of it, in order that you may apprise him of your intentions as regards the resumption of the office. " I am, Sir, your very obedient humble servant, " FRANCIS W. BRADY, " Secretary to the Lord Chancellor. " To William Smith O'Brien, Esq., M.P." "Caliermoyle, Sept. 23. "Sir,—l have had the honour of receiving your obliging letter of the 22d, in which you inform me that several magistrates of the county of Limerick have re presented to the Lord Chancellor that my restoration to the commission of the peace would be of advantage to the county, and that in consequence of such representa tion the Lord Chancellor desires that I should apprise him of my intention as regards the resumption of the office. "It affords me extreme gratification to learn, that without suggestion upon my part, a large body of the magistrates of the county of Limerick have expressed such an opinion to the Lord Chancellor. " I will not conceal from you that I felt some surprise that I had not received an intimation similar to that com municated on the part of the Executive to other magis trates who resigned their commissions for political rea sons; but I now rejoice that this delay has taken place, as it has elicited towards me a demonstration of gener ous feeling, which upon every account I highly appreciate. " The present Government having wisely renounced the principle of excluding individuals from the magis tracy on account of their advocacy of the national rights of Ireland, the motives which induced me to resign my commission no longer exist. I shall, therefore, cheer fully resume my functions as soon as reinstated. "I have the honour to be your obedient servant, " WILLIAM S. O'BRIEN. " To F. W. Brady, Esq., Secretary to the Lord Chancellor." The Limerick Reporter is by no means satisfied with the Chancellor's explanation, ex. gr. : " The Lord Chancellor or the Government are at length about to perform an act of tardy justice in restor ing our distinguished and excellent county Member to the commission of the peace. The delay has caused a good deal of surprise, much speculation, and great in dignation on the part of a very numerous section of the community. Even the Tory press exclaimed against the injustice. The reason assigned by the Lord Chancellor is most unsatisfactory, inasmuch as the commission of the peace has long been offered to others who also resigned for political reasons, and did not apply to be restored. For example, the Orangeman ' Mr. Rose Cleland, who resigned in consequence of his friend Commodore Watson being superseded, was offered the commission without any intimation on his part that he would accept it, which is evident from the fact of his having refused the office; so that the justice which was offered to an Orangeman was denied by the Whigs to an uncompromising repealer, until the magistrates of the county of Limerick at last reminded the Government of their duty. With how much better a grace would they have offered him the commission in the beginning than to be thus forced to do him justice. Did they want the lineal descendant of an Irish King to bow down at their feet, and, with bated breath and whispering humble ness,' sue for the office from an English faction ? Somo of the Whig 'organs and apologists of the Government appear to think he ought to have done so, but he knew his own dignity and proud position better than that. The Government stated, when coming into power, that they would investigate the merits of each case, and act accordingly, and, for our part, we think it would be derogatory to any gentleman who was superseded to ask for a restoration. LANDLORDS AND THE RENTS. The Clare Journal (Conservative) strongly impresses upon the landlords the actually necessity of foregoing all demands for rent pending the present crisis, for, although the farmer may obtain a remunerative price for his corn. he must, in self defence, reserve it for his own consump tion now that his usual resource has been swept off the land:— " It were well, we think, if the exertions of the Go vernment received a corresponding assistance from the landlords of the country. They must be forbearing to the tenantry. We do not desire to retail the com plaints that are hourly spreading of the conduct of the landlords and agents pressing for rents at this season. It is true, for every commodity that the farmer has to sell he has high prices to get ; but then it must be remembered that the corn upon which he depended to meet the greater portion of the rent, must be now kept to feed his family, in place of his potatoes, that failed. Can he sell that, and depend on the chance of public employment to support his family ? It is folly to think it. We know, too, all the complicated demands that those rents may be, in idea, allocated for, but they must, in fact, be laid aside for the present. There must be mutual forbearance on all sides, and, as none of tho demand that is to be laid upon the land will be levied during this year, the landlord is relieved from any bur den by its presentation. Again, we repeat, we do not desire to report the various complaints every day cir culated of parties who are pressing for rents, and where a gale's rent has been refused, yet when to meet tho year's rent the tenant should deprive himself of every ounce of subsistence for his family. It is the extreme of folly to ask for this ; no matter what the pressure upon the landlord may be, he cannot hope to get this demand ; and if he endeavours to do so, the consequences will be dangerous to the peace of the country." DEATH OF DR. BENNIE OF LADY YESTER'S.-•-• It is our painful duty to-day to record the death of the Rev. Archibald Bennie, D.D., which rather unlooked for event took place at Dunoon on Monday night, at half past ten o'clock. He had been complaining for a con siderable time past, and was lately attacked by erysipelas in the head, which, we understand, was the immediato cause of his death. Dr. Bennie was ordained to the ministry in 1824, and was translated from Stirling to Edinburgh in 1836, having been appointed, by the town council, on the 28th April of that year, to the church and parish of Lady Yester's, in which he has ever since ministered. He IN as one of the most eloquent and popular clergymen of the day; and the estimation in which his ministrations were held will be judged by the fact that his church was always filled, and the sittings fully let. Dr. Bennie was much beloved by his friends and his congregation, and, indeed, was held in general respect. The congregation whom he has left will naturally look to the town-council for one fitted to bo his successor— a task in which the lager may perhaps find some difficulty, but to which, we are assured from past experience, they will employ their most zealous endeavours to accomplish.
