IRELAND. RELIEF MEASURES.-MEETING OF PARMA- MENT. 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 of Sir David Roche and Mr. Monsell, of Tervoe, had an audience of his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, to present a memorial agreed to at a baronial meeting, held in the county of 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 a do p t the suggestions recommended. A deputation from the Royal Agricultural Improve• went Society also waited up on the Lord-Lieutenant to day, for the purpose of present ing an address, the prayer of which was nearly similar to the memorial from Limerick. His Excellency, in his reply, stated 4, 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 Vict., 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 Ma 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. Re 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 net go beyond, the spirit of the widely condemned Labour-rate Act. The moneys continue to be voted with as liberal a band 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 fiated, without a single remonstrance or complaint, was 40,0001.; at Castlebar the enormous sum of 80,000/. 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. Tne Marquis of WestmPath, 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 or the people, increase from day to day, and as no system of dividing the county for managieg the resources which may be ob tained or Blade aeillable, as the law now stands, hes been devised, to prevent further loss of time in corre spondence, and that the exertions of all parties up in 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 ball, 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 applica 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 tLe Court, to the provisions of an Act of the 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, accordi&g 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. " MAZIERE BRADY, Chancellor." ATTACK ON LORD STUART DE DECIES. The Cork Examiner says " On Wednesday last the adjourned Road Sessions was held at Clashmore, fur 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 cut 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 could to atop 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 ls. 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 ono feelieg prevalent among all well-dis posed persons, that this was a most disgraceful attack on a good resident landlord and magistrate, who is daily doing acts of kindness for the poor." 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 shippinginterest of that port. "FURTHER Fuca) OUTRAGES.—On Wednesday last a numerous body of labouring men, from the district of Shanagarry, came into the town of Cloyne, and , , after i exhibiting their force for the purpose of i ntim idating 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, fur the purpose of p r o tectin g their remaining p ro p e rly, generously distributed their loaves to . the hungry claimants, who retired vi ithout com mitting further irjury. " We have heard that a similar dt monstration took place yesterday in Cistlemartyr, and that the labourers were not satisfied until they were similarly feasted. " It was rumoured this morning that Moore Park, the residence of Lord Mountcashe ll, had been attacked yes terday, and a qua ntit y of Indian corn, stored in an out house for the use of the tenantry, a b s t racte d. O n in quiry, however, it has been ascertained that no such outrage was committed, n or was there any a tt em pt to 77 warrant even the rumour. " CLONMEL, SEPT. 23. —Me jot.- G . General his Roya, Hi g hness Prince George of Cambridge arrive at Limerick ong on the 30th instant, to take charge of this dis trict. It is strly rumoured here that the 34th Depot THE SUN, LONDON, TU E SDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1846. and the Royal Artillery stationed here will be re- I 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. " 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 are 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." " Cahermoyle,Sep t. 23. " Sir,—l have had the honour of ieceiving 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, er. qr.:— " 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 unsat isfactory, inasmuch as the commission of the peace has long been offered to others who also resigned fur 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 In 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 ripea/er, 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 On; 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 au English faction ? Some 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 impwesses 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 con: ump • 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 bo remembered that the corn upon which lie 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 the 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 ev er y day cir culated of parties who are pressing for rents, and where a gale's rent has been refused, yet when to meet the 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 g e t thi s demand ; and if he endeavours to do so, the consequences will be dangerous to the peace of the country." We understand there are at this time upwards of 3,000 labourers engaged at work between Peterborough and Ely. The line is in a state of considerable forward ness.—Cambridge Chronicle. DETENTION OF THE LISBON MAIL.—OH Saturday morning a notice was posted at the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, that her Majesty's ship Bulldog, for Lisbon and the Cape of Good Hope, with letters, &c., had been compelled to put back to Devonport, in consequence of damage, and will be detained for two or three days. A PATRIARCHAL AGRICULTURIST.--A local paper records the death of Mr. James Collins, of Eastrington, near Bowden, aged ninety seven, and adds—" He was a man of temperate and regular habits, he seldom met with his equal in agricultural pursuits, and he invariably took the lead with the scythe, the sickle, and the flail. seven children, twenty-seven grandchildren, and eighteen great grandchildren, survive him." THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 27.—The Peninsular steam-packet Royal Tar, Captain Hamilton, arrived here yesterday at four o'clock pal., and landed the usual mails, which were forwarded to London by this morning's e arly mail train. Her dates are, Gibral tar, Sept. 17; Cadiz , 18th; Lisbon, 20th; off Oporto, 22d; Vigo, 22d; and Corunna, 23d. The Tar brought home a detachment of artillery, women and children, and about forty passengers, also a cargo of almonds and raisins, grapes, parcels, &c. Her Majesty's steamer Phoenix was at Gibraltar. The experimental squadron, Hibernia, Trafalgar, Queen, St. Vincent, Rodney, Van guard, Albion, Superb, Spartan, and Eurydice frigates; Terrible, Retribution, Cyclops, Polyphemus, and Rattler, were at Cadiz. Her Majesty's ship Canopus, French brig of war Cyne, and the usual Portuguese squadron were at Lisbon, and at Vigo the Spanish frigate Isabel 11., and Villa do Bilboa, and Cologne corvette, and Blasco de Caray steamer. The Ariel, Captain Colbeck, left the docks yesterday for Malta and Alexandria with a full cargo of goods and passengers; she will remain out for the newly arranged passage between Alexandria and Marseilles for the purpose of establishing the facts as to which practically is the shortest route for the India mails. The Queen steam-ship, Captain Russell, will leave this port to-morrow with the mails, a good cargo, and passengers for Gibraltar. A very fine new iron s t eam -ship (Tiber), Captain Olive, leaves this port on the 30th instant, en route fur Italy, Florence, Rome, and Naples; she will take out a large cargo of Manchester and other goods, and a fair number of passengers for a first trip. The Oriental, Captain Soy, is hourly ex pected at the Motherbank with the India and China mails; she left Malta on the 16th. CONFLAGRATION AT LIMEEIOUSE.—On Saturday night, between nine and ten o'clock, a very extensive fire broke out in a house, No. 71, Fore-street, Limehouse, in the occupation of Mr. Talbot, boot and shoe manufac turer. The flames originated in the first floor, from some cause which could not bo ascertained. Although an alarm was raised, and several persons were instantly on the spot to render assistance, very few minutes elapsed before the fire had extended throughout the whole of the upper porticn of the premises, and when it broke through the roof, it completely illuminated, not only the imme diate district, but the more distant portions of the metro polis. With all possible expedition, several engines of the London Brigade, with Mr. Braidwood, the superin tendent, attended; an d a plentiful supply of water being soon obtained, the engines were set to work; but, not withstanding, the flames continued to spread with more !Ilan usual rapidity, so that before eleven o'clock every part of the spacious building, together with the furni ture and stock-in-trade, was blazing away most furiously. Whilst the firemen were engaged directing the branches of the engines through the front windows, the floorings gave way, and fell with a fearful crash. The shock caused the outer walls to topple over into the street, and it was with the greatest difficulty that several of the fire men escaped being crushed to death. The engines were worked with full vigour until half past eleven o'clock, when the firemen at length got the mastery over the fire, but by that period the place was gutted, and several of the adjoining premises were very extensively damaged, mere especially the residence of Dr. Barnard, next deer. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD CO CRT. (Before the RECORDER and Alderman WOOD.) ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.—Three men, named Brown, Morton, and Adams, and a woman named Jay, were indicted for robbing a man named Dean of a watch, and violently assaulting him. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor and a female were proceeding together down Great Ann-street, Westminster, on the 17th of August, when the female prisoner came up to his companion, and asked her if she was in the humour to fight, to which she replied in the negative; after which the prisoner im mediately struck her in the face, and when prosecutor attempted to interfere, he was knocked down by the male prisoners, who robbed him of his watch and then de camped. They were, however, subsequently overtaken, and given into custody. Several other witnesses were examined on the part of the prosecution. The female prisoner entered into a long detail, in which she not only asserted her innocence, but stated that the prosecutor had assaulted her and Brown. Brown made a written defence, in which he corrobo rated the preceding statement. The Learned RECORDER summed up, and the jury re turned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoners were then sentenced to 15 years' tran sportation. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner BuLLoca and Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER.) James Downes, a plumber, was convicted of stealing Blbs. of lead, the property of Thomas Fossey, his master, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment and bard labour. Edward Unwin, a labourer, was indicted, with a per son named George Fisher, who pleaded guilty, with steal ing 2,000 bricks and 6 loads of sand, of the value of 61., the property of George Banson and Edwin Gwyther, and Daniel Stammer. was indicted with feloniously re ceiving the same, well knowing them to be stolen. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Robinson conducted the case for the prosecution ; and Mr. Payne, Mr. Ballantyne, and Mr. Huddlestone defended the prisoners. From the statements of counsel, and the evidence ad duced, it appeared that the prosecutors were contractors for certain work, now in progress in the neighbourhood of Camden-town, by the London and North -Western Railway Company; that the prisoner Stammers was the foreman, and one of the members of a society called the " Friends of Industry," who were erecting houses in the same neighbourhood, and the prisoners, Fisher and Unwin, were employed as carters to Perkins and Co., who had contracted to cart the bricks to the works of the prosecutors. It appeared that the prisoners, Fisher and Unwin, instead of taking the bricks to the works of the prosecutors, took them to the building of the Friends of Industry, and left them there. Upon Stammers being told that the bricks were stolen property, he said he did not know that, that he bad bought them honestly; and told the party who stated they were stolen that he had better mind his own business. Mr. Payne addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner Uuwin, and Mr. Ballantyne for Stammers, con tending that no case had been made against either of them. _ Several respectable witnesses gave Stammers an excel lent character, and stated that he was an honest and hard working man. Some of the witnesses had known him for upwards of 20 years. One witness gave Unwin a good character. Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK summed up, and The jury, after some consultation, found the prisoners Stammers and Unwin Not Guilty. Fisher was then again indicted with stealing several loads of sand, and to this indictment he also pleaded Guilty ; and Stammers was indicted with receiving it, knowing it to ho stolen. The jury also Acquitted the prisoner Stammers on this charge. Commissioner BULLOCK sentenced the prisoner Fisher, who has a wife and three children, to eight months' imprisonment and hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G CHLDHALL. A wonian.servant of middle age, named Maria Platt, was charged with stealing several dessert and other silver spoons, and a valuable ring, the property of Mr. Charles Buds, from his house in New Bridge-street, Blaekfriars. It appeared that on Sunday evening last the prisoner, Being out of place, but engaged to go into a family on the following Wednesday, paid a visit to Mr. Burls' cook, who entertained her and lent her two pounds to ecnip her for her ssrvice. The prisoner ungratefully purloined the property on that occasion. The coinci dence that on a former evening of Platt's visits to the house property of the same description disappeared, her friend's suspicions were turned to her, and she ac cordingly procteded with a policeman to the house in Connaught-terrace, into which the prisoner bad jnst been received as a servant, and the duplicates of all the missing plate were found in her boxes. She was accord ingly taken into custody, and although she had nothing to say in her defence, she was remanded to Friday, for the attendance of another witness. OBTAINING GOODS BY FORGED OnDERs.—An elderly man of respectable appearance, named Evans, who was formerly in the employment of Messrs. Sewell and Cross, Compton-street, Soho, was brought up upon remand, charged, together with a young man named Jones, with having obtained a large parcel of goods from the firm of Messrs. Lecil and Co., Old Change, upon a forged order, purporting to come from the firm of Messrs. Sewell. The handwriting of Evans in the forged order was positively sworn to, and Jones did nut deny his share in the transaction. They were committed to the sessions. BO W-STREET. Mary Ann Murphy was placed at the bar before Mr. Hall, charged with creating a disturbance in Crown• street, Soho, and obstructing policeman F 145 in the execution of his duty. The policeman said that, being on duty in Crown street on. Sunday evening, he saw the prisoner quarrelling with a man and some women who were standing with her under an archway, where they were taking shelter. He told them that if they could not be quiet they must go away. The man and the other women went away, but the prisoner refused to stir. Witness said she must go away, and if she did not he must take her into cus tody; but she still refused to go away, and he took her in charge. Mr. HALL—When the other people went away there was no further necessity for interference. It was all at an end then, and there was no need for sending her away ; besides, it was raining. Why did you wish to send her on? Witness—Sir, she told me she would see me before she would go on. Mr. HALL—It was very wrong for her to use such language as that, but you should not have meddled with her when the man and women had gone on. Well, go on. The witness then stated that on the way to the station house the prisoner resisted violently, called him indecent names, and struck him in the face twice. Mr. HALL—You said nothing about that last night at the station-house. Witness—No, I did not. Mr. HALL (to the prisoner)—Under the circum stances I will discharge you; but, remember, you ought not under any circumstances to use abusive language to the policeman, or to assault him. Prisoner—l did not do either; what he has said is false. Mr. HALL—WeII, you are discharged now. CLERKENWELL. Clarissa Wright was charged with being drunk, and claiming the proprietorship of a house called Milford House, in Barnsbury-square. It appeared that the prisoner had been several times in custody on the charge of being disorderly and an• noying the owner of Milford House, by saying it was her property, and taking her station at the door for hours together, but upon each occasion she was dis charged, on the promise of abstaining from the annoy ance for the future. She was now brought up again, when the constable having established the charge, Mr. COMBE sentenced her to five days' imprisonment. Upon Waddington, the gaoler, attempting to remove her to the cells, she attacked him like a fury, and be fore they could get her out of the Court it took a whole posse of policemen, whose faces bore evident marks, on their return, of her powers of manipulation. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Bow, a cutler, was charged with committing an assault on Mr. Clough, a licensed victualler, living in Oxford-street, at the corner of Dean-street. Mr. Clough was not in attendance: a surgeon's certifi cate was produced, stating that he was confined to bed in consequence of the assault, and was unable to be present. John Wells said he was just leaving the bar of Mr. Clough's house with a friend, on Saturday evening, and his friend chanced to strike against the defendant's toe, who was sitting in front of the bar. On that he rose and wished to fight him; but Mr. Clough, who said he would not allow it in his house, was_ in the act of pushing the defendant out, when the latter turned round and kicked the landlord, who fell into the wit ness's arms. The defendant was ordered to find two sureties of 10/. each, to appear to answer the charge on Saturday n ex t. James Bruce was charged with obtaining watches and jewellery to a large amount, under false pre teaees. Christian Gottlieb Fred. Allading said he is a watchmaker, in the employment of Mr. De Lolme, 48, Rathbone-place, and was at work in the shop on the 16th of September last, when the defendant came in about mid-day, and represented himself to Mr. De Lolme as from the firm of Bruce, in Jermyn-street, St. James's. The defendant wished to have two watches on appro bation, which he meant to sell, and said he would re turn with the money on the following day. The watches were given him, and an account. He came again on the 18th inst., when Mr. De Lolme was at dinner, and wished to have three more. This witness showed him some watches, and he selected three, which were given him with the approbation of Mr. De Lolme, who was sent for on purpose. Mr. De Lolme after this, when the prisoner did nut return, sent dow n to Mr. Bruce's, and found that the prisoner had not been authorised to get the watches. It was said they knew nothing about it. Mr. Bruce's agent was present to watch the case, and asked the witness whether the defendant did not repre sent himself, the first day, as having been in business in Cranbourne-street ? Witness—l believe he did. Agent—Did be say he was from the firm of Bruce the first day he came ?—I am not sure, but he made that representation to me the second day, and I made out the account so. William Bruce, being sworn, said he managed the business for his mother, who is a jeweller, in Jermyn street, St. James's. The prisoner at the bar was his brother, and at one time assisted him in the shop. The business in Cranbourne-street was not the prisoner's, but his father's, and he assisted there. lie said his brother had no authority to get the watches from Mr. De Lolme. This closed the evidence which was offered to-day on that case, and the prisoner was remanded until Saturday. There are several other charges of a similar character against him. Frederick Caudle, a young man, well dressed, de scribed in the charge sheet as a medical student, with out a home, was placed at the bar on his own charge. Police-constable C 152 said he was yesterday in Oxford-street, about two o'clock, and the defendant came up and gave himself in charge for having stolen a 101. Bank of England note from his uncle, Robert Caudle, 13, Gloucester-place, Brighton. He said he had taken it about five weeks ago. Mr. HARDWICH—Is that true? Defendant—Yes. Mr. HARDWICK remanded the defendant till Friday, n order that they might communicate with his uncle. ALLEGED DEATH OF A GEN TLEMAN FROM QUACK MEDICINES. On Saturday an adjourned inquest was held at the Swan Inn, Peckham New Town, before Mr. Carter, on the body of Mr. William Dunham, aged 57, of 1, Alpha street, Park-road, Peckham, who, it was alleged, had died from the effects of quack medicines. It appeared that the deceased had been attended by a surgeon of the name of Morris, who reluctantly gave it as his 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 box 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. He also stated that he had examined the medicines, one of which contained opium; and he 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 geon, had stated that the deceased could not survive the winter, the man promised to cure him in a fortnight. 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.—lt 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 have been cured by its wonderful properties.] The CORONER then summed up the evidence, apd 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, uas 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 tie 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 with 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, tsken 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. Tho result of that meeting is the proposition of enlarging the amount of reward for the discoverer of the murderer from 1001. to 500/. ; and 21% 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. BROADLANDS.—Viscount and Viscountess Palmer ston arrived at their seat near Romney, Ilants, from visit ing her Majesty, at Windsor Castle, on Saturday last. Lord and Lady Ashley were to arrive on a visit to the Noble Viscount and Viscountess on Saturday from Ryde, Isle of Wight. _ _ There have never been but three Lord Chan cellors of Ireland who were natives of that country. The first was the celebrated Fitzgibbon, the first Earl of Clare ; the second the equally celebrated and still living Lord Plunkett ; and the present Chancellor, Mr. Maziere Brady. RE-PAVING CHEAPSIDE WITHOUT A STOPPAGE...—. On Saturday orders were issued from the office of the Commissioners of Sewers for the re-paving of Cheapside with stone instead of wood. This order was given in consequence of the commissioners believing the wood pavement would not stand throughout the winter, from the fact of a portion of it having floated during the storm of the I s t o f A ugust. To prevent i nterrupt i on to business, the contractor will finish one side of the street before he commences work on the other, so that vehicles will be able to pass along one side of the street in the same manner as usual. It is calculated that the re-paving will occupy five weeks. FALL OF A HOUSE IN THE OLD JEWRY.--On Saturday morning, between the hours of four and five o'clock, the inhabitants of the Old Jewry and imme diate vicinity were alarmed by a t remen d ous crash re sembling the discharge of several pieces of ordnance, and which s% as ,ascertained to have been occasioned by the fall of a pa rty wall an d part o f a l arge fi ve - s t ory house, let out in offices, and situate at the corner of the Old Jewry and Gresham-street. The only occupants were the housekeeper, an elderly woman, and her daughter, who fortunately escaped in their night-clothes and without injury. The cause of the building falling was the removal of an adjoining house in the Old Jewry, lately the, office of the Bank architect. Every pre caution has been adopted by the police to prevent danger during the necessary preparations for removing the remainder of the building, THE HOUNSLOW MILITARY TRAGEDY. The worst fears for the fate of the witnesses examined at the inquest held upon poor White, late private of the 7th Hussars, are, we regret, likely to be realised. We understand one witness, who, in consequence of his superior attainments and conduct, had been elected pre sident of his room, and whose advice was followed and example imitated by his comrades, was, after giving his evidence, removed from the room and placed in another, over which a corporal swayed authority. Another, who is most respectably connected, and whose conduct as a soldier is beyond even the breath of censure, having, after he gave his evidence like a soldier and a man of honour, interested himself in raising a subscrip tion towards the erection of a monument to White's memory, was ordered to attend the colonel's quarters. He did so, when the following dialogue ensued:— Colonel—l understand that the men are raising a sub scription to build a monument to White. Is such the fact? Soldier—Yes, sir. Colonel—l am also informed that you are making yourself conspicuous in collecting that fund. Is that so? Soldier—Yes, sir. Colonel—Are you aware that by so doing you are guilty of a breach of discipline, and expose yourself to punishment? Soldier—No, indeed, sir, I am not; and this is the first time that I have been told so. Colonel—You do put yourself in that position by such conduct? Soldier—l hope not, sir; indeed, I can scarcely believe it, for I cannot conceive what crime there is in raising a monument to a deceased comrade. Colonel—Well, well, you will see it. You may retire. The soldier accordingly obeyed the mandate to retire, as he did the order to attend, but the interview with his colonel neither lessened his zeal in collecting subscrip tions towards the monument, nor their amount. The one continued as fervent as ever, and the other con tinued to be raised without the slightest diminution. Poor " holloa " Mathewson, whose back was torn to pieces by the sanguinary lash because, without know ing whom he was addressing at the time, for he did not see him, he cried out " holloa " to a question from the sergeant, appears to be an unfortunate man. He is now a prisoner in Hounslow barracks awaiting his trial by court-martial. It appears that last Sunday he was on duty at Hampton Court, when his mother, accompanied by his brother-in-law—just discharged from a Lancer regiment, and whom he had not seen for nine years— visited him. He asked his sergeant, who was corporal over him when he was a prisoner, previous to his late punishment at the ladder, to allow another soldier who had agreed so to do to mount guard for him, as he wished to spend a few hours with his family. This favour the sergeant peremptorily refused, although he had allowed a similar and a greater liberty to another soldier. After that the sergeant followed him to " Trophy-gate," where he mounted guard, and where, according to his (the ser geant's) statement, he abused and threatened him. The sergeant accordingly reported Mathewson, and put him under arrest. The colonel, upon the sergeant's report, ordered a district court-martial to be held upon Mathew son for the undermentioned charges, as contained in a copy handed him, and of which the subjoined is also a copy : • " Charges preferred against Private Thomas Mathew- son, No. 995, 7th Hussars. "For insubordination on or about the 20th of Sep , tember, 1847, when on sentry at the Cavalry barracks, Hampton Court, in using threatening, disgusting, and abusive language to Sergeant Major Robert O'Donnell, of the 7th Hussars, his superior officer, by saying, ' you -, I will break both your - heads, or words to that effect. Former convictions will be brought in evidence upon trial. " SERGEANT LAURENCE, 7th Hussars. "Head-quarters, Hounslow, 25th September, 1846," Such is Sergeant O'Donnell's charge, the truth of which Mathewson denies. The court-martial was not held yesterday, but it will take place on Tuesday, and that, too, under the officers of the 12th Lancers, who have relieved the 7th Hussars. This is so much in favour of the prisoner, for both General Comyns, the colonel, and Lieutenant-Colonel Stowel, of the Lancers, are as much opposed as the officers of the 7th are favourable to flogging; and the further delay to Tuesday is also in favour of Mathew son, for had he been tried yesterday, young officers would have composed the court-martial, whereas he will be tried on Tuesday by veterans, whose humanity and bravery are equally acknowledged, both by the men of the 12th Lancers and the public. In fact, even the privates of the regiment deem themselves insulted by having so unpleasant a duty imposed upon their officers, whom they look upon as kind mentors, interested in their welfare. Even now the Colonel of the Lancers allows Mathewson's friends to visit him ; and Sergeant- Major Mahon, who accompanies those visitors to the guard-house, orders the men on duty to retire, so that any private conversation that the prisoner may desire to have with those friends shall not be interrupted. This kindness Mathewson gratefully acknowledges, and it leads him to hope to find justice and mercy at he hands of the gallant officers who will be his judges. His heart broken mother had an interview with him yesterday, and immediately afterwards wrote to Mr. Wakley, who has pledged himself to throw the shield of his protection over him and every other witness examined at the in quest. It now remains for the public to do their duty, by, in the first instance, furnishing Mathewson with proper legal assistance, of which he Rill be allowed to avail himself, and that they should do this very day. [The above appeared in the Sunday Times.] Another account states that Mathewson declares that, contrary to military discipline, the sergeant was unac companied, the regulations requiring that he should, when visiting a sentry, be accompanied by two privates, which not being the case, Mathewson will lose the benefit he would othf-rwise have of two witnesses of his own rank. He also complains of a district court•martial being ordered instead of a general court-martial, as at the latter he would have had the advantage of legal as sistance in his defence. THE LATE CASE OF FATAL MILITARY FLOGGING AT HOUNSLOW.-At an inquest held recently, by Mr. Wakley, M.P., coroner, he made some remarks on the frequency of cases 9f death arising from the effects of in. juries to the skin, "awl said that since the late inquest at Hounslow, on private Frederick John White, of the 7th Queen's Own Hussars, who died from the effects of the flogging he had received, his attention had been more particularly drawn to such cases, which he found averaged five each week. Until that inquest such cases were confined chiefly to burns and scalds, but the evi dence given by Mr. Erasmus Wilson had proved that the same fatal effects might arise from other injuries to the skin. That fact had just been confirmed in a very extraordinary manner. Mr. Hawes, M.P., the Under- Secretary for the Colonies, had a day or two since com municated to him, that by a report just received from Dr. Motherwell, the superintendent of convicts in Van Diemen's Land, as to their condition, it appeared, by a discovery be had made, that two very important effects were produced on the convicts by resorting to corporal punishment, viz., inflammation of the chest and disease of the heart, the very causes of private White's death, but which were ascribed by four out of the five surgeons examined to sudden change of temperature, Mr. Wilson being the only one who ascribed it to the injury to the skin occasioned by the flogging the deceased had re ceived. ESCAPE FROM BRIXTON GAOL —A reward of 101. has been offered for the apprehension of a man named Thomas Finn, a prisoner who effected his escape from the Brixton House of Correction. It appears that the fugitive was a most desperate character, well-known on the Surrey side of the water by the police tor his dis sipated habits and ferocious conduct. He was convicted at the Central Criminal Court for an assault, for which he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. ,He effected his escape a few nights since by dressing himself in some of the watchman's clothes, which he had contrived to procure. FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE LONDON DOCIES.—OH Saturday Mr. William Baker held an inquest at the Royal Crown, Ratcliff-highway, on view of the body of Henry Blohm, aged twenty-eight, a sailor on board the merchant ship the Glory, of Hamburgh, who was drowned in the London Doeks. It appeared that on Thursday evening last, about ten o'clock, the deceased was at the bow-head of the vessel, in the act of raising a pail of water from the docks, when he fell overboard. The drags were instantly employed, but the body was not found till the following morning. Verdict, Acci dental Death. DRUItY-LANE THEATRE.—We remember no season respecting the commencement of which so great an in terest has been excited as on the present occasion. A newly-decorated theatre, a new ballet, with a new set of dancers, a new drop scene, and various other novelties, are certainly attractions of the very highest order, and we do not wonder that people are flocking to secure seats for such an interesting event. It is most gratifying to know that the private boxes and stalls are mostly secured by some of our principal noble families. The Gallery in Leicester-square, so well known to our readers as being occupied by the late talented Miss Linwood, is, we are informed, about being opened by an equally talented lady as an Exhibition of T a bl eaux Vivans. While we condemn, as public journalists, any thing with the least approach to an immoral tendency, we feel disposed to advocate the present exhibition, knowing it to be under the patronage of many influential members of the Royal Academy. We would advise the public to go and judge for themselves, as we feel confi dent their expectations will be more than realised. Madam Warton's corps consists of a foreign importa tion and Royal Academy models. Monday week is an nounced for the opening. A promenade will be opened for the comfort of the visitors, and the musical depart ment is entrusted to a professor of known celebrity. We refer our readers for particulars to the bills of the day. DEATH OF Da. 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 lor event took place at Dunoon on Monday night, at hall past ten o'clock. lle had been complaining for a on siderable time past, and was lately attacked by erysipelas in the head, w hi c h, we understand, was the immediate cause of his death. Dr. Bennie was ordained to the ministry in 1824, and was translated from Stirling t ( Edinburgh in 1835, 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 sine( ministered. Ile %%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 sittingt fully let. Dr. Bennie was much beloved by his friends and his congregation, and, indeed, was held in genera ' respect. Tho congregation whom ho has left wil naturally look to the town-council for one fitted to be his successor—a task in which the later may perhale find some difficulty, but to which, we are assured fron past experience, they will employ their most zealous endeavours to accomplish. By the death of Dr. Bennie. a vacancy also occurs in the Chapel Royal, of which he was one of the Deans.—Caledonian Mercury. MARKET NE WS-(YESTERDAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. During last week full average quantities of English Wheat were reported ; but only a limited portion was on sale here, arising from many of the cargoes having been previously disposed of by land-carriage and sample. The receipts of Barley and Beans were somewhat on the increase; but those of all other articles of home produce were small; while the aggregate imports from abroad, as well as the arrivals both from Ireland and Scotland, were trifling. Fresh up a fair supply of Wheat came to hand from Essex and Kent ; but that from our other counties was small. Notwithstanding the number of samples of that article on offer was seasonably large, and the quality was good, the demand for all descriptions, arising from the large attendance of buyers, was brisk, at an advance in • the quotations obtained on this day se'nnight of from 3s to is per quarter, and at which nearly or quite the whole of the parcels were disposed of. We had an increased supply of fine foreign Wheat on sale, yet the holders were very firm, and by no means anxious sellers. However, some large quantities —say, nearly 10,000 quarters—were taken by the dealers (partly on speculation) at a further rise in value of fully 3s per quarter. There was more inquiry for Corn under lock, although the number of foreign buyers in atten dance was not to say large, and we must quote the prices quite 2s higher than on Monday last. The exports of Wheat and Flour to France, Belgium, and Holland, continue extensive. This circumstance, to gether with the unfavourable accounts which continue to reach us from Ireland, respecting the potato crop, is having considerable influence upon the minds of both buyers and sellers. The show of English Barley was very moderate, that of Foreign small. Fine parcels moved off steadily at very full prices ; but in other kinds comparatively little was doing, at barely late rates. With Malt we were moderately supplied. The best Chevalier qualities were in good request, though we canaot call them dearer. The secondary and in ferior sorts commanded only a moderate amount of attention, yet prices were maintained in every instance. From all parts the receipts of Oats continue exceedingly limited. For fine dry and selected parcels we had a ready sale, at, in some few instances, a further advance in the quotations of 6d per quarter. In the value of all other kinds we can notice no alteration, though it was firmly supported. For Beans we had a slow inquiry, yet the factors succeeded in obtaining last week's prices for them. The sale for Peas of all descriptions was steady, at late rates. The Flour trade was brisk, at an advance of from 3s to 5s per 2801bs. Ame rican Flour was 28 per barrel higher.

We have again to report the arrivals of large numbers of fat stock from abroad for our market, during the past week, in, for the most part, excellent condition; but we regret to state, that upwards of 100 beasts, and 50 sheep,which are not included in our table of imports, have been smothered on their passage from Harlingen, and which loss falls entirely upon the shippers. It will be perceived that the receipts from Spain have re-commenced ; and we understand that severel cargoes of oxen may be expected from Vigo during the next fortnight. The seventy-five on sale here, on Friday last, were mostly disposed of at from 121 to 181 each. Many of the Sheep on sale to-day exhibited decided signs of crossing with our Glou cesters and Downs. The following is a statement of the imports since Monday last : LONDON. From whence. Oxen. Cows. Sheep. . Lambs. Calves.

The Spanish Oxen, noticed as arriving at Plymouth, have sold at from 121 103 to 161 5s each. Their quality and condition were very similar to those received here via Southampton. Several rather large purchases of store foreign Sheep have been lately made for grazing purposes ; and we learn that those depastured during the last month—though they have consumed an immense quantity of food—have turned out well, but by no means profitably. In to-day's market we had on sale about 220 Oxen and Cows —lB being from Spain, the remainder from Holland and Ger many-1,600 Sheep and Lambs, and 20 Calves from abroad, nearly the whole of which were disposed of. From our own di-tricts the arrivals of beasts were large, and of greatly improved quality. On the whole a large business was trans acted, at Friday's depression of 2d per 81bs., the highest quo tation being 4s per Blbs., and a clearance wa, effected. The droves from the north comprised 2,300 short horns, from the western and midland districts 800 Herefords, Scots, Devons, &c., from other parts of England 600 of various kinds, and from Ireland and Scotland 180 Beasts. The numbers of Sheep were again larger; but the Mutton trade was by no means active, yet previous rates were sup ported without difficulty. In Lambs, the supply of which was larger, only a limited business was transacted, and prices were decidedly lower than on this day se'nnight. The Veal trade was tolerably steady, at full prices. Pigs were in good supply and fair request, at late currencies.

In consequence of the high prices for live stock in the North of England elsewhere, the arrivals of country-killed meat up to our markets since Monday last have been smaller, they having amounted only to about 80 carcases of Beef, 300 ditto of Mutton, 80 ditto of Lamb, 40 ditto of Veal, and 100 ditto of Pork. The Metropolitan supplies have, however, been seasonably good and of excellent quality. Mutton has commanded a ready sale, at a trifle more money ; but all other kinds of meat have moved off slowly at late rates. About 90 carcases of foreign Beasts, 300 ditto of Sheep, and 20 ditto of Calves have appeared on sale. At per sieSe, by the Carcase. 9.d. to 9. d. a. d. to s. d.

BOROUGH AND SPITAMPIELDS. There is an increased quantity of Potatoes on sale, and of much betterquality than we have observed for some time past. On the whole the demand is inactive, at prices varying from 21 103 to 6lper ton. A.few sacks have arrived from ilavre in good condition; but they are offering at low prices. Several cargoes are shortly expected from the north, and which will, no doubt, test the actual value in these markets. BOROUGH HOP MARKET. Owing in a great measure to the activity in the demand at the large provincial fairs, the demand here for most kinds of new Hops—selected qualities in particular—is very steady, and, in some instances, the quotations have an upward ten dency. A few parties are estimating the duty at from 210,0001 to 220,0001. WOOL. The past week's arrivals of Wool into London have been large, viz., 3,663 bales f..om Sydney, 796 ditto from Portland Bay, New South Wales, and 100 ditto from various other quarters. The public sales—at which about 26,000 bales have been offered and disposed 6f—have been brought to a conclusion. and we consider the prices to have advanced (compared with those realised at the previous auctions) quite Id per lb. Privately there is more doing in English Wools, at full rates; but foreign parcels are neglected. TALLOW. The price of Tallow is advancing both on the spot and for forward delivery. Fine Y C is 445. The last year's YC is all sold, and there is little Tallow here now except first sort. New Y C Town Tallow is 42s 6d, nett cash. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years andt en." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects Of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immes" surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated threltgl questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hiddea truths 0 nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the 'alga whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in,pu,r individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lib e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation 2f our faculties, which is in' consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body MO be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.
