THE SUN, LONDON, :WEDNESDA Y EVENING, 8 EPTEMI3 ER 30, 1846. Africa ought to have a fair chance of raising herself in the scale of the civilised world.—A few years since Mr. Clarkson was presented with the freedom of the City of London. Although the accumulated weight of upwards of four score years pressed heavily upon the shattered ener gies of Mr. Clarkson, so long as life and being lasted his great anxiety was do good. It was indeed a noble sight to enter his apartment, and see this venerable man with sight impaired, and his once fine frame bowed down by the exertions of added years, still engaged, under much physical suffering, in efforts to lessen the sorrows of the human race. Within the last few months of his death, the cause of the sailor occupied much of his attention ; the wrongs under which this useful class is suffering deeply moved his heart, and induced him to write a pamphlet and take other steps in their behalf. Indeed, the tones of human misery never fell upon his ear with out painfully affecting his soul, which could not rest satisfied until. That oil which lubricates the heart When frictionized by care. had soothed the sorrows of the distressed. There aro feelings of affectionate veneration connected with the memory of this distinguished man, which will be shared in by all who have heard of Slavery and Clarkson, but which will peculiarly affect those who were privileged to have a personal knowledge of the deceased. The spirit of the last and most distinguished member of as noble a knot of men as ever banded together in the sacred cause of philanthropy has, at length, passed awayito ganother world; and, notwithstanding the bright home to which that spirit has been gathered, the lover of his kind feels a melancholy feeling stealing over him as he says — Thomas Clarkson is no more! On taking a review of his life we may say, Well for the world, the love of Heav'n Finds not its limit ihere; Its symphonies are sometimes caught, And sweetly echoed here. Clarkson was one of those rare characters, who, in the course of every two or three centuries, are called by Pro vidence from obscurity, to work some stupendous moral change upon the history of an empire, or the human race at large; and who can believe nothing impossible, be cause the work which they have to do appears an impos sibility. Our readers will no doubt call to mind the masterly sketch of Clarkson's character by Lord Brougham in the preface to his Lordship's speeches on the slave trade ; but perhaps the noblest epitaph upon his tomb would be—" Here lies the man who excited Wilberforce to labour fdr the abolition of the Slave Trade." Granville Sharpe and Wilberforce have been honoured with monuments in Westminster Abbey ; and it is not too much to anticipate that a similar tribute of national gratitude will be bestowed on the memory of one greater than either, who laboured more abundantly than all others, by a Ministry, under the auspices of some of whose members the slaves in our West India Colonies were legally disenthralled. ordinary fees which were complained of by BritiSh mer chants.—l am, sir, &c., J. r%IACGREGOR. William Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's. IRELAND. DISTURBANCES IN THE COUNTIES OF CORK A.ND WATER-FORD, DUBLIN, SEPT. 27.—The Cork Constitution, received in town this morning, col.itains accounts of food riots at Kil worth, the residence of Lord Mountcashell; at Castlemartyr, t'ne seat of Lord Shannon ; at Ferinoy ; and further particulars of the desperate riot at Youghal, reported yesterday. At Loughrea, in the county Galway, on Wednesday last, a large body of wretched men marched through the streets, in procession ; at the head of which was carried a loaf of bread mounted on a pole. Their cry was for " work," or food. The harvest is now in, and the potatoes rotten in the ground ; there is not, in consequence, either farm labour at which to engage the peasant, or food to give him in exchange for any trifle of money he may have had the singular good fortune to save. A correspondent, writing from Clifden, county Gal way, states that at a baronial sessions, held in that town on Wednesday, " the Court House was crowded to ex cess, and outside there could not be less than 15,000 persons. Very great confusion prevailed during the proceedings, as the people were under the impression that nothing was about to be done for their relief, and it was only ater three Roman Crtholic clergymen ad dressed the people in Irish that order could be obtained. Grants to the amount of 40,0001. were passed. A sum of 100/. was voted in aid of the erection of a chapel at Ballinafad upon the application of the Rev. Mr. O'Malley." _ _ _ _ From - the county Limerick we learn that a large party of men attacked six car loads of oats which were being conveyed from Croom to the Limerick market. They ripped the sacks open—swearing no corn should be taken out of the country. Three firkins of butter were also destroyed near that city. From the excitement among the people serious apprehensions are felt. All classes are calling upon the Board of Works to fiat the presenments without further delay, or the consequences may be fatal to the peace of that part of the country. It is rumoured that riots have also occurred at Castle martyr, and that Lord Shannon had sent to Youghal for troops. Cloyne is also said to be disturbed. In Youghal the greatest apprehension is felt that the county of Waterford men will be in in great numbers on the morrow. MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. DUBLIN, SEPT. 28.—1 t is confidently announced to day that Parliament will not meet in November, as was almost universally supposed it would, at the close of last week, aud, indeed, up to this afternoon. The following statement upon the subject appears in the Mail of this evening:— "Lo - id John Russell agreed with Lord Besboreugh as to the necessity of assembling Parliament forthwith, but the majority of the Cabinet overruled his Lordship's decision. Lord Grey and his party voted with the ma jority. Mr. Rediugton, Under-Secretary for Ireland, has left town for London. Mr. Redington's visit, no doubt, is connected with the state of this country. He can, of course, give Lord John Russell and his colleagues more general and useful information by being on the spot than he could possibly afford by means of epistolary communications, trammelled, as they naturally must be, by official forms and absurb punctilio. This is not a time for indulging in the quirks of lawyers or the humbug of diplomacy." NCREASE OF gTIPENDIARY MAGISTRACY. The Irish Government have determined upon ap pointing six additional stipendiary magistrates, whcse services will, no doubt, be fully required throughout the ensuing season. The names of the fortunate gentle men are, Mr. Miller (son of Lieutenant-Colonel Miller, one of the Inspectors-General of the Constabulary), Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Arabin, Mr. Ffrench, Mr. Plunket (of the Constabulary), and Mr. Birmingham. MR. O'CONNELL ON THE FAMINE. At the usual weekly meeting of the repealers to-day, the following letter from Mr. O'Connell was read : " Derrynane Abbey, Cahirciveen, Sept. 25. _ _ " My Dear Rai,—The state of the country is fright ful ; famine hourly approaching, and the enormity of the evil so great as to require for its alleviation sums of money so apparently extravagant in amount as to fill the minds of men of the most hopeful temperament with dismay and affright. " You have seen in the newspapers a report of the proceedings of our presentment sessions at Cahirciveen, for the barony of Iveragh. The report includes only part of what occurred on the first day of meeting. There are, necessarily, many inaccuracies in that report ; but it shows that we had at once agreed to charge the barony with public works to the extent of two-thirds of the poor-law valuation, namely, 14,0001. ; but, when we came to discuss the particulars, it struck me forcibly that 14,000/. would not be sufficient, and we therefore in creased the presentments to the amount of 21,0001., being the entire amount of one year's poor-law valuation of the entire barony. It will therefore not be our fault if there be not work and wages for the people during a considerable portion of the ensuing winter and spring, especially as the Knight of Kerry has applied fer a large sum (I don't know the exact amount) under the Drainage Act, and I myself an; preparing an application, in con - junction, I hope, with the Marquis of Lansdowne, if not, upon my own account, for the drainage of a tract, upon which above 4,0001. can be expended in the wages of labour. I only mgntion these things to instigate othe l rs to do more than we have done, and above all to pre vent the people from starving, or being driven into madness. " That amiable and excellent gentleman, Mr. Monsell, of Tervoe, in his very able letter of the 18th of Septem ber, to Mr. Labouchere, speaking of the Labour-rate Act, has these words—' I wish distinctly to state, that be the existing law good or bad, wise or unwise, as it is at present the only way by which the poor can be re lieved, it is our manifest duty to make use of it.' " lle continues, It is our clear duty in the eyes of God and man.' " How melancholy it is to think that Lord Glengall and a number of other noblemen and gentlemen as sembled at Cashel appear (if we are to credit the news paper reports) to have totally neglected this, their duty to God and man! " In my last letter I threw out a suggestion respect ing the necessity of a combined effort of the Irish gentry. I beg again to repeat that suggestion. " It is, that there should be some combined meeting in Dublin of a number of the landed proprietors of Ire land, of every district in the island, to make arrange ments, in conjunction with the Government, for mitigat ing as much as possible the terrible emergency that awaits us. " Let it be remembered that there is great reason to fear—and not only to fear, but to believe—that the evils that now press upon us will nut have spent their force in a single year, or between this and next harvest. What will be the condition of the country, if there shall be another year of blighted crop, without adequate prepara tions being made to meet the calamity? and what suffi cient preparations should and can be made, it is not likely that individual sagacity could for etel. "If ever there was a case requiring consultation, con sideration, and deliberate and dispassionate discussion, it is that now in hand. It requires the concentrated in telligence of the entire country to afford a chance of devising plans suited to the magnitude of the peril, and the enormous calamities that menace us. "My suggestion, I repeat, is, that the landed pro'- prietors, instead of continuing their scattered and isolated attempts to meet the coming mischief, should immediately form a national committee to meet in Dublin, and assist at this disastrous moment in the management of such Irish affairs as relate to the ap proaching famine. This committee might be composed of as many of the high sheriffs as may choose to attend; also, as many deputy-lieutenants and justices of the peace as should choose to assist, together with such other landed proprietors as may be requested by their own lccal districts to give their aid and attendance. "Such a body as this, even upon a smaller scale than may be naturally expected, would command the atten tion of the Government, both in Ireland and in Eng land; thoroughly acquainted as they would be with all the details of Irish affairs, they would instruct as well as direct the counsels of the Executive. They would be listened to by Parliament as well as by the English people; and, having the combined advantages of perfect information, of pressing personal interest, and a high sense of duty, they would form the instrument best cal culated to rescue Ireland from otherwise inevitable destruction. _ _ _ " In ordinary times these suggestions of mine would be laughed at by many who may, perhaps, at the present moment deem them worthy of consideration. At all events, I hope I do my duty in endeavouring to rouse the universal Irish people to a sense of their danger and their moral responsibility. " In the meantime let the Repeal Association do all they can to extricate Ireland from the perplexed state of misery in which she is at present involved. There is no fact more distinctly recognized than that the greater part of the Irish population are every year on the verge of starvation. It has pleased Providence in the present year to engulf them in misery. We do not confound the adventitious misfortune of the present year with the steady progression of the accumulating distress and misery which has marked the domestic history of Ireland since the date of the union. Parliamentary documents have placed beyond doubt that the wretchedness of the Irish peasantry has been, and is, annually increasing. The effects of the union have left the country unable to endure the loss of a single crop. How sacred, then, is the duty of those who appreciate these facts to use all lawful and peaceable means to procure the restoration of the Irish Legislature! "Perhaps there never was anything in the history of nations so fantastically atrocious as the conduct of the English press at such an awful moment as the present. Let any one only listen to the description given by the Times of the peasantry of Connaught. Oh! how false —how insulting—how almost maddening 1 Again—but this is endurable—they attribute all the misfortunes of Ireland to the Irish national character. England, by a combination of the vilest fraud, with a force casually irresistible, deprived us of our nationality—and then, because we suffer the evils necessarily resulting from that loss, their writers taunt us with the natural and necessary consequences of that deprivation, and accuse us of being the authors of our own misery, choosing to forget that we have had no control over our own affairs, and have been nothing more than the sad serfs of an un grateful mistress. "For our parts, we have one solemn duty, however it may be forgotton by the enemies of the Repeal Associa tion; it is, never to relax our efforts, never to sink our hopes or diminish our expectation for the restoration of our domestic Parliament. " Come what will, happe❑ what may, we at least an devoted to Irish nationality—that is, to the repeal of the union.—Believe me to be very faithfully yours. "DANIEL O'CONNELL. "T. IL Ray, Esq." The (isount of the rent for the week was 981.35. 7d. DEATH of THOMAS CLARKSON. (From vile Ipswich Expresso.) This illustrious philanthropist died at 4 o'clock on Satur dfo; 'morning last, at his residence, Playford Hall, near this town. He had attained the age of eighty-six ; but his spirit burned bright to the last, and while he ceased not to direct his thoughts to the great question of the eman cipation of the human race, he calmly looked forward to " the crown of life " laid up in Heaven for the faith ful followers of the cross. He was born at Wisbeach, in Cambridgeshire, March 28,1760. In the life of this great and good man was truly exemplified the saying of the sacred writer—" The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." What a glorious career was that of Thomas Clarkson ! Who can estimate the amount of good which he was instrumental in achieving ! How much sorrow and woe were not diminished by his undaunted and heroic self devotion ! When Clarkson began his labours, England was deeply engaged in the slave trade;— kidnapping, burning, plundering, and ravishing from their homes the unhappy Africans. That traffic which is now piracy by our laws, which Christian Englishman regard as an atrocious crime, and which the head of the Roman Catholic Church has placed under ban, as a deadly sin, was then accounted lawful. Manstealers were not frowned upon by society; and the slavemonger hesitated not to make a boast of his unrighteous gains. Thomas Clarkson was the main instrument employed by God in the suppression of the British slave trade and in the emancipation of the slaves in the West India Colonies, which was its legitimate consequence. In the year 1772, a negro named Somerset was arrested in London by a man who claimed him as a runaway slave. Mr. Granville Sharpe brought the case before the Lord Mayor; and by the Lord Mayor's orders Somerset was discharged from the Poultry Compter, where he had been imprisoned. The master, however, in defiance of the Lord Mayor, seized the slave and tore him away from Mr. Sharpe. An action was brought against the master for assault ; and the case being tried, it was finally referred to the twelve judges ; who, after solemn argument decided, that as soon as a slave sets foot on English territory, he becomes free:— " Slaves cannot breathe in England: if their lungs Receive our air, that moment they are free. They touch our country and their fetters fall." This circumstance, it may be presumed, powerfully ex cited the youthful mind of Clarkson. In the year 1785 Dr. Peckhard, the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge, pro posed the following question to the senior Bachelors of Arts, as the subject of a Latin prize dissertation—" Is it right to make slaves of others against their will ?" At this time Clarkson was a senior bachelor in the Univer sity ; and, having gained a prize the previeus year, he resolved to enter the lists again as a competitor. While studying the general question of slavery for the purpose of the prize essay, the whole iniquity of the negro slave trade burst upon his view. "It is impossible," he re marked, iu his History of Slavery, " to imagine the severe anguish which the composition of this essay cost me. All the pleasure I had promised myself from the literary contest was exchanged for pain, by the astound ing facts than were now continually before me. It was one gloomy subject from morning till night. In the day I was agitnted and uneasy ; in the night I had little or no rest. I was so overwhelmed with grief, that I some times never closed my eyes during the whole night, and I no longer regarded my essay as a mere trial for literary distinction. My great desire was now to pro duce a work that should call a vigorous public effort to redress the wrongs of injured Africa." He came to London to make inquiries, and to collect materials. Ile shortly produced his celebrated essay " Or the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species." de obtained the prize ; but the inferior motives of the collegian were annihilated by the nobler purposes of philan thropy. His aim now became the deliverance of the African race. He made a vow of eternal enmity to the slave trade, and to slavery in every form. He resolved to consecrate himself to this gigantic and then appa rently hopeless task. " Yea, from the table of my memory I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws, of books, all forms, all pressures past, That youth and observation copied there; And thy commandment all alone shall live Within the book and volume of my brain, Unmix'd with baser matter." " Here," remarks a writer, in reviewing this period of our national history, " here was a spectacle which men, according to their feelings, would have called sublime or absurd—a young student of twenty-four, of narrow for tune, and almost unknown, devoting himself to a work from which kings and senators would have turned with dismay." But it was the cause of God, and it triumphed. From this time Thomas Clarkson entered on his work with renewed zeal; and he found that the further he in. quired into the evil of slavery and its traffic, the more diabolical and revolting did the system appear. That eminent statesman, William Wilberforce, who was one of the principal leaders in this great work, and who devoted all the energies of his powerful mind to the subject, did not, however, enter the field in the cause of the negro, until two years after Thomas Clarkson had taken a lively interest in the abolition cause. Between them no rival ship existed. The question was not, "Who should have the most honour?" but " Who should do the most good?" On the 22d of May, 1787, a committee was formed, consisting of twelve gentlemen, of which the deceased was a member. Their desire was that the subject of slavery should be brought before Parliament ; and in order to do that, the fullest information of the evils con nected with slavery was sought to be obtained in addi tion to the mass of evidence already in their possession. To obtain this, Mr. Clarkson proceeded to the ports of Bristol and Liverpool, where he met with many friends who were favourable to the cause in which he had em barked, and obtained much valuable information ; but his labours there were so indefatigable and incessant as to endanger his health. Mr. Clarkson successively visited Bridgewater, Monmouth, Gloucester, Liverpool, Worcester, and Chester, at which place he found many friends, but the planters and African traders exerted themselves in every possible way to accomplish their ends ; they even calumniated his character, impugned his motives, and threatened to dismiss from their service any who dared to furnish him with information. When the object of his visit had become known at Liverpool, attempts wore made upon his valuable life, which was on more than one occasion exposed to imminent danger, for he very narrowly escaped being pushed from the pier head by some persons who seemed determined to effect his destruction. He had gone thither to collect evidence to show that the traffic in human flesh was both cruel and wicked, and the goodness of his cause inspired him with undaunted courage, and in spite of all opposition, he did not leave Liverpool until he had col lected much information, besides inducing the friends there to combine in the cause of abolition, and to act in concert with the London committee. On the 9th of May, 1788, the abolition of the slave trade was first made the subject of Parliamentary discussion. It was eloquently defended by Mr. Fox, Mr. Burke, Sir W. Dolben, Mr. Whitbread, and by several others. The discussion resulted in a motion that the subject should be investigated in the ensuing session. When on a visit to Manchester, at the earnest entreaty of several friends, who knew he had been educated for the Church, he preached a sermon on the subject, in one of the churches there, selecting for his text Exodus xxiii., 9, " Thou shalt not oppress a stranger, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt," from which words he proved that slavery was at variance with the Scriptures. In 1789 Clarkson was called upon to go to France to promote the cause of abolition. Although that country was in a state of political anarchy, and he was advised to travel in another name, he cast himself upon the protec tion of Providence, and prosecuted his labours fearlessly. On his arrival in Paris he was introduced to the Mar quis de la Fayette, who was a stanch friend to aboli tion. Clarkson had also free access to M. Necker, who was then at the head of the Government; he was also fa vourable to the sacred cause. Clarkson every each day wrote a letter of from 16 to 20 pages to Mirabeau, to place all the facts in his possession, to enable him to bring them before theassembly. The Abbe Siezes, upon his departure, accompanied him to his hotel, and said, after presenting him with a copy of his works—" I am highly pleased to have been acquainted with the friend of man." After a residence of six months in France, Mr. Clarkson returned to England, and after travelling many thousand miles in quest of persons who could give evidence bfore a committee, found that no evidence could be given as to how the slaves were obtained in Africa in such large numbers. The planters said they were pur chased at fairs—the abolitionists, that they were kid napped. It was difficult to get evidence, as but feiv Europeans were permitted to sail up the rivers. Clark son was informed by a friend, that he saw a man twelve months before, who was a sailor, who had been engaged in the trade ; he described his person, but knew neither his name nor his residence—he appeard to belong to the navy. On this information, Clarkson started, and visited successively all the ships belonging to the navy at Dept ford, Woolwich, Chatham, and Sheerness, without suc cess. From Chatham he proceeded to Portsmouth, and examined all the vessels there, with a similar result. There was but one port left, which was Plymouth, up wards of 200 miles off. On the first day he boarded 40 ships, but did not find a single person who had been to Africa. After passing a restless night, with drooping spirits, he entered the boat the next morning agitated alternately by hope and fear ; and in pursuing his task on the fifty-seventh vessel, he found the man who had been described. Delighted with his success, Clarkson returned to Lon don with his witness, who had, on several occasions, been present when natives had been forcibly torn from their homes. In 1793, Mr. Clarkson's physical and mental powers gave way ; the excitement had been in tense ; for seven years he maintained a correspondence with four hundred persons, and wrote a work annually for the cause. He travelled upwards of thirty-five thou sand miles in search of evidence, performing a great part of these journeys in the night. Not until 1807, after twenty years' incessant toil, was the abolition of the slave trade carried. It was the last act of the Grenville and Fox Administration. The seals of office and the royal assent were given simultaneously. Mr. Clarkson now turned his attention to literature, and his first work, the " History of the Abolition of the Slave Trade," 2 vols. Bvo., was published in a few months. He after wards published, " Thoughts on the necessity of Abolishing Slavery ;" "A Portraiture of Quakerism," 3 vols. 8vo.; "Life of William Penn," 2 vols. Bvo., &c., &c. These pursuits never diverted his attention from the great cause to which he had devoted his life. In 1818 the Emperor of Russia (the celebrated Alexander) and other distinguished individuals met in Paris. Mr. Clarkson drew up an ad dress to the Sovereigns, and requested an interview with the Emperor, which was readily granted. Soon after, a meeting of the European Sovereigns took place at Aix-la-Chapelle. The Emperor, after recog- I,E.ii , ,g Mr. Clarkson, I,d him into his room, and placed cliar tor him to Qlt upon. The Etuperor approved of Mr. Cla&on's address to the Sovereigns, and under took to deitrer,.with his own hands, the addresses to the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prassia ; inspected the productions of the Africans in cotton and iron, which Mr. Clarkson laid before him and observed that COURT CIRCULAR.

WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTER TAINMENTS.-TRURO. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) We have had a visit in this quarter from the far famed Scottish minstrel, Wilson, who favoured us with one of his truly unique and delightful entertainments, which was attended by a full and fashionable audience, and gave the most unqualified delight. Mr. Wilson's fame had long preceded him, and one or two of his imi tators, taking advantage of his popularity, have at tempted to pawn on the lieges what they call entertain ments on Scottish songs ; but even in this quarter their abortive attempts were received with disgust by the few victims who found themselves within the walls ; all of which, however, tended to put the people more on the qui vive for the real " Simon Pure," and,;much as their expectations were raised, they came far short of the treat that awaited them. The programme contained songs of various kinds—some plaintive, others heroic; some what might be called domestic, and some humorous—in all of which styles Wilson is equally at home. At one time his audience were tranced by the thrillingly pathetic tones in which he poured forth the lament " Nannie's awa' ;" again were the heroic sentiments of every bosom awakned by his imaginative declamation of " Scot's wha hae wi' Wallace bled," and anon were they com pelled to hold their sides by the ; richly humorius man ner in which he gave " The Laird o'Cockpen," " Get up and bar the door," and " Allister M'Allister ;" and nothing could be more enchanting than his singing of " Saw ye my wee-thing ?" " There's nae luck aboot the house," or " My Boy Tammy." We were puzzled here to know which to admire most, so we admired all; and diffi cult would it have been to have done otherwise, for if an entertainment can be perfect we should say Wilson's is. He renders every song intelligible before he sings it by an interesting, and often very amusing description, in which he makes his audience perfectly acquainted with the homely Scotch phrases. He has a magnificent tenor voice, perfect intonation, and sings like an educated and intelligent artist. He addresses his audience with the most gentlemanly ease, and in a very few minutes makes them feel as much at home with him as if they were sit ting at his own table, and he playing the host. His accompanyist, Mr. Land, is perfectly at home in his business too—plays and accompanies beautifully, and looks jolly and happy with the charming songs he is constantly listening to. The only misfortune was, that Mr. Wilson chose a Saturday night, which prevented many from being present that would have been. When he again comes to see us be must fix on another night, and he may be assured of an overflowing house; for no entertainment that we ever had here gave so much pleasure or caused such a sensation. In London you, of coarse, know well Wilson's powers, for you have frequent opportunities of hearing him; but you will not the less be pleased to hear that he can be appreciated in the provinces as well as in the metropolis. It is probable, we hear, that the vacancy on the Bench, caused by the death of the late lamented Mr. Justice Williams, may be filled by Mr. Vaughan Williams. PRICE or GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d, per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 55 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 77i, it follows that gOld is 0.87 per cent, dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4354 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. 10i d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 1310*; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 101, it follows that gold is 0.06 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. ROBBERY ON THE BLACKWALL RAlLWAY.—Yes terday information was received at the Bow-lane, City, and other police-Ftations, of a foreign gentleman having been robbed of a green leather pocket-book, containing, among other property, numerous Dutch bank notes to the value of nearly 5001., whilst travelling, between eight and nine o'clock, in a second-class carriage of the London and 131ackwall Railway.

The race, which was for 10/. aside, and the honorary distinction of champion of Deptford, has been the theme of conversation in the neighbourhood for some time past, and was looked for ward to with some anxiety by those who speculated upon the result. The distance selected to test the powers of the men, although not uncommon in below-bridge matches, is certainly most unusual in those above, ex tending from the Halfway House up to the Dreadnought, a course of something like eleven miles. Betting had been almost even, Cox slightly in some circles having the call. The Flirt steamer, which had been chartered to accompany the race, was filled with respectable com pany, and several cutters and other boats were also out. The preliminaries having been adjusted, the men ap peared at the station a few minutes before four o'clock. It was a capital start, both being away at the same mo ment, and at a very dashing pace. In the course of a few strokes Cox took the lead, closely followed by his opponent. Mile after mile they were rowing at great speed with but little difference between them, and as they passed the lower part of Woolwich Arsenal Bromley gradually drew up to his opponent, and some very fine plucky rowing on both sides resulted in Bromley shortly passing 'him. Cox made a smart spurt to regain his place, but Bromley went stroke by stroke further away from him, and won by 80 or 100 yards. PUGILISM. JAMES SCULLEY AND JOSEPH WGEE.—These sprigs of Southwark and Pimlico met yesterday, near Honey on the Brighton line, to decide their claim to fifty sove reigns, duly deposited, and the laurel of victory. A shift took place, at the recommendation of a landowner, who desired them to choose a more retired ground, and and this was readily complied with—a proof of the order and good behaviour which characterised the motley assemblage. After a long mile of tramping across ploughed fields and winter turnips, a commodious piece of waste land presented itself, and here the commissary pro tem. pitched his materiel, and at a little before one o'clock the men were in position. A brief notice of the battle must suffice. M`Gee, who looked all his friends could wish, fought wildly and without precision, while his antagonist, with superior game and steadiness, met his hasty and ill-judged onslaughts, and after punishing his rashness, stood erect at the close of almost every round. M'Gee, on the contrary, when foiled in his rush, dropped repeatedly, and several times in a manner so questionable, as to call for a public caution from the referee. Finally, in the 64th round, his getting down from a mere feint of Sculley's right (which had just before rudely visited his ribs) was so palpable that it was declared " foul," and Sculley adjudged to have won the fight. Time, 1 hour and 38 minutes. THE GREAT BRITAIN. - - - - LIVERPOOL, TuEsDAY, r.m.--No further accounts have reached town to-day from the Great Britain. It is apprehended that the strong winds with which the Channel was yesterday visited may have occasioned further injury to the ship. To-day, however, the weather has again m oderated to a gentle breeze from the north-west, and better anticipations are indulged in. The catastrophe still remains a subject of wide in terest. Inquiries are constantly being made as to the cause, and the most contradictory statements are cur rent. On the one band, an assertion is made that the Isle of Man was distinctly seen, and that therefore the plea of the light of St. John's being mistaken for that of the Calf of Man is unwarranted; on the other, it is asserted that the island was not seen. By others the catastrophe is ascribed to the effects produced upon the compass when the ship is propelled by a submerged screw. But these various statements are entirely un supported by reliable proof; and while we mention them as the topics of the time and the occasion, we by no means desire to express an opinion ourselves as to the causes by which the noble steamer has been stranded. THE MENAI TUNNEL SUSPENSION BRIDGE.—The foundation stone of this stupendous work across the Menai Straits was quietly deposited, in the presence of the engineers of the district and the contractors, on Friday last. The erection of the bridge is expected to occupy three years. REPRESENTATION UP' ROORE,TER.—A requisition very numerously signed, having been presented to R. Bernal, Esq., from the freemen and electors of Roches ter, requesting that gentleman to become a candidate ,or the representation of their city at the next general leetion, he has assented ti9yheir wiehee. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. (Cotititnied from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) • At four o'clodk the state of the poll was declared to be— _ _ _ For Mr. Alderman Wood . 152 Sir George Carroll 6B Alderman Hooper 3l This announcement was received by a crowded hall with loud cheers. Mr. Alderman WOOD then came forward to ad dress the Livery, and was received with most enthu siastic cheering. After it had in some measure subsided, he said he thought the meeting . would admit that he was not wrong in his anticipations of success. — (Hear, hear.) He bad thrown himself entirely in the hands of the Livery--(Hear, hear)—be was not sorry that he had done so, and that was the best test of his competency to fill the high and honourable office to which he aspired. Because he was not the most opulent man in the world he was to be oppressed and prevented from filling an office which, he must confess, he thought he had as much right to as any of the other aldermen of London who had not yet passed the chair. —(Hear, hear.) He had done all in his power to explain away transactions that ought never to have existed, and for which he ought never to have been run down in the way he had been. —(Great cheering.) He had been a magistrate of this City for eleven years, and he appealed to the Livery whether or not he had discharged the duties of that office impartially. He felt proud to think that his brother Liverymen had entered heart and hand in the cause. He had been - the object of their choice for four years as chief magistrate, and he had failed in his hopes and wishes without any reasons having been assigned for his rejection. It was the exclusive privilege of the Livery to elect their own magistrate. They had with one voice alerted him for the last four years, but in other quarters, for what cause he knew not, he had been rejected.—(Hear, hear.) He had embarked in the present contest from no inclination of his own—(Hear) — it had been forced upon him at the eleventh hour. He called upon the Livery not only to keep him in the proud pre-eminence in which he then stood, but to return him to the Court of Aldermen by . an immense majority. Alderman Hooper had manfully stated that he had no desire to be elected out of his turn, and he had depre cated the whole of the proceedings that had taken place. —(Cheers.) Ho was sure if the Livery would as one man, with one mighty energy, continue to persevere in the good cause they would be. triumphant.—(Cries of " We will.") The Hall was then adjourned till to-morrow morning (this day) at nine o'clock. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. ---------- (From the London New Price Current of September 29.) SUGAR.—To-day the quantity of home-trade Sugar brought to public sale was extensive, and prices were not so firm. In West India a good business was transacted in bright yellow qualities, but merchants were in some cases compelled to lower their prices 6d per cwt; the rates taken exhibit a fall on those of Friday of 6d to is per cwt, and holders of such were evidently inclined to realise, owing to the increasing supplies. REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with less attention from the home trade, but owing to the small supply brown lumps could not be obtained under 635, and standard lumps 655. per cwt. In Bonded Crushed Sugar a good business was transacted but at prices varying from 33s to 33s 6d for first quality. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with less attention, and 2,123 bags at auction were sold at rather lower prices. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the public sales of Bengal Sugar consisted of 3,647 bags, the superior grainy sorts went at stiff rates, but white and other kinds went 6d per cwt lower.

COFFEE.—This afternoon several purchases were made privately in native Ceylon, and it was difficult to buy good ordinary under 40s per cwt. Plantation is little wanted, 340 bags were offered at auction and nearly all taken in at 55s 6d for fine ordinary coloury, being barely the former value, the 83 bags pea berry however sold at 65s 6d per cwt. The coloury kinds of Foreign are still wanted, but common sorts are dull of sale. TEA.—Holders of Congou are reluctant to further reduce their prices, and the trade have operated with more freedom, still they are not inclined to take more than their present wants require: a fair business has been transacted, bat holders have been compelled to accept 8d to Bf i d for common, and 9d for good common, cash. There is a fair quantity on offer, particularly of the better qua lities. Pouchong has been in good demand, and owing to the falling off in the supply prices have slightly improved. Souchong has been sold to a fair extent at previous mode rate rates. The market for Green has a dull appearance, the quantity on offer is large of all qualities, and prices are lowering. At auction, Congou out of condition, of which the chief part consisted, went at 8d to 9d. Imperial of good sound quality, Hyson kind, only brought 2s ld, and good brightish leaf Twankay 1s 2d per lb. SPICES.—The demand has improved for Nutmegs, and an advance in the value of 1d to 2d per lb has taken place. In Mace more business has been transacted, and at somewhat better prices. Jamaica Ginger has not further improved in value, but at previous rates a good business has been trans acted, and 320 packages at auction were all sold. East India and African have been sold to a fair extent privately at stiffer rates. Of preserved Ginger 191 pkgs, at auction, were taken in at 2s 6d to 3s per lb. Of Black Pepper, none has been offered at auction, and privately few purchases have been made by exporters or the home trade, low as prices are. The stock is much the same as what it was last year, but the deliveries are still less, especially for exportation, end prices are lower ; although white can be obtained at 3 1 4 d to 5 1 ,! 1 for low to fine quality, still few buyers are to be met with, but the quantity offering is not so large as it was. Pimento has fully sustained the previous value, and several parcels have been sold privately. Cloves have met with little attention, but holders are reluctant. For Cassia Lignea the market has a firm appearance. Cinnamon is wanted, and the parcels sold were at quotations, 2d to 4d above those of the last quarterly sales; for inferior, coarse, and jungle kinds, prices are improving. The supply of all sorts is less than it was. _ _ Yv Woor.—The public sales of Colonial have at length ter minated. The attendance has been numerous, and the de mand animated for all descriptions. Although the quantity offered was prodigious, still nearly the whole sold, the manu facturers having come to the determination to get well stocked, in consequence of the moderate rates that existed, and the enormous quantity of Wool there is being consumed. Prices improved towards the conclusion of the sales, and closed at an advance on those of the last auctions of Id per lb. Smurrs.—To-day Leeward Island Rum met with little attention, although there are sellers at 2s 2d proof strength. For Jamaica the market has a dull appearance, and the tendency of prices is still downwards. East India is little wanted, and 19 casks at auction were taken in at 2s 31d to 2s 4d per gallon for ➢ladras. The stock of Rum differs little from that of last year. _ . . hmGo.—Holders of East India are firm, and insist upon an advance on the rates of the last quarterly sales of 3d to 4d per lb, although the quantity declared for the 6th of October is large, amounting to 21,268 chests. There has, however, been only a limited business transacted by ex porters and the home trade since this day week. For Spanish the market has a firm appearance. COCIIINEAL.—To- day the market was well supplied; the quantity offered at public sale amounting to 256 bags; nearly the whole sold. OILS.—For Seal Oil there has been a brisk demand, and the tendency of prices is upwards, pale bringing 29/. to 291 10s, yellow 26/ to 271, and brown al to 251 lOs , indeed some parties will not sell upon these terms, and the quan tity on offer is yet small. At auction 38 tuns were sold, tinged pale, at 28/. to 281 10s, and yellow at 271 per tun. The home trade continue to be the principal operators. Low qualities wanted for exportation, but of such few parcels are to be had. Cod has met with a dull sale, and the quantity on offer is larger than it was. No further advance has taken place in the value of Southern, but privately a good business has been transacted, and full rates are given. Sperm has not improved in value, but the demand privately has been brisker. There are many purchasers of Coaco Nut Oil, but little is to be had. Palm has been in excellent request, and prices are firm. In Rape Seed Oil there has been more busi ness transacted at better prices. Olive has been in excel lent demand; merchants have confidence, as the stock is en the decrease, and the consumption going on largely. Lin seed Oil has been extensively dealt in on the spot by the home trade; several parcels have been takes for exportation, and prices advanced to 25s 3d to 25s 6d per cwt, although the crushers are working freely. For American Lard Oil a fair demand has prevailed at 35/ to 40/ per tun. TALLOW.—In Russian on the spot an extensive business has been transacted, and further advanced rates are given, fine new Petersburgh Yellow Candle bringing 43s 9d to 445, and old 43s 6d, at which merchants are firm, as arrivals are under those of last season. For forward delivery a good business has been transacted, 44s paid for the last three months of the year for new, and 44s to 44s 3d for spring delivery. For home made the demand has been active at 42s 6d nett cash. DRIED FRUITS.—The season for the importation of dried fruits has commenced at an unusually early period, and the supplies now taking place from the south of Europe are of the most extensive character. The enumeration of some of the arrivals within these three days will be sufficient to bear testimony to the correct ness of this statement. One vessel, the Eolus, from Denia, brought 2,641 boxes, and 1,557 half boxes of raisins, and several of melons ; the Ellen Gilman, from the same place, 4,000 large boxes, and 2,000 half boxes of raisins; and another, the Romp, from Malaga, a most extensive cargo of fruits, comprising 3,252 boxes, 2,307 half, and 2,300 quarter boxes of raisins ; 19 cases, 25 barrels, and 100 half barrels of the same kind of fruit, 70 packages of almonds, 14 chests, and 26 boxes of lemons, 200 barrels, and 75 half barrels of grapes, 8 chests of pomegranates, and 500 melons, the production of that fruitful place. Another, called the Lady Rebow, also from Malaga, in addition to 4,971 packages of rai sins and other fruits, the large number of 3,000 pome granates, with others from the same places with equally extensive cargoes, which we have not space, neither is it requisite, to enumerate. The samo remark made a few days since, with respect to the importation of grapes, and of their excellent quality this season, will equally apply to the dried fruits now imported to so great an extent. Owing to the fine summer for the production and ripening of such articles, they are very abundant, are of unusually fine quality, and in first-rate condition, and will probably be obtainable at a reasonable price throughout the coming season for the consumption of such kinds of fruit. THE LATE EARL OF YARBOROUGH.—At day break yesterday morning her Majesty's steamer Light ning, arrived off the Spurn Light, having in tow the Kestrel yacht, with the remains of the above lamented nobleman on board. The yacht was then conveyed up the river as far as White Booth roads, in the Humber, where the remain 3 were landed preparatory to their in terment on Thursday at Brocklesby. LONDON YACHT CLUB.—Yesterday, the members of this aquatic club held their monthly meeting at Wright's Hotel, Strand. Several motions were disposed of, and new members balloted for. Several men in the employ of Messrs. Wright and Co. were yesterday charged at Ilame.lersmith Pohce court with a murderous assault on their foreman, named Kelly, under whom they were at work in Kensington park, Notting-hill. They were remanded until more of the parties implicated in the attack are in custody. VALE OF NEATH RAILWAY. The first ordinary meeting of the proprietors of this. company was held yesterday at the company's offices, 449,. West Strand, Viscount Villiers, M.P. (chairman), in. the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that this railway would extend from Neath to Merthyr Tydril, and passed through country remarkable for its richness, which. it would connect with Merthyr. They would require to. be vested with authority to made additional purchases. in the Collieries, as well as in other places.—(Hear.) The sum which would be kequired, including everything; was somewhere under 17,000/. He took the maximum; —(Hear, hear.) They would submit to the meeting, accordine. to Act of Parliament, the resolutions that would be necessary for the appointment of the se cretary and of the other officials. It was the intention of the directors to proceed immediately. with the works. They would have a meeting to- , morrow, when they would determine on what part of the line they would commence their operations, and they would be enabled to open the line before next year: The SECRETARY then read the report, which recom mended that Mr. Frederick Saunders be re-elected us secretary. It further stated that, owing to the shortness of time that had elapsed since the Act of Incorperatiou was obtained, they had not been able to ascertaim with accuracy the expenses incurred up to that time. In. conclusion, it stated that an agreement had been entered into with the South Wales Company for the purpose oe securing the construction of a branch to the port uV Neath. The report was adopted, and ordered to be printed. and circulated among the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to some questions, stated that 21,110 shares had been registered, and that some' had been reserved for the Great Western Railway Com pany. The number of unregistered shares was 5,980. The Chaiman and the other directors were re-elected. A sum of 1,0002 was then voted to the directors ; and the re-appointment of the various officials, together with their salaries, having been determined, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting then separated. LARNE, BELFAST, AND BALLY MENA RAILWAY. A meeting of the scripholders of this company was held yesterday, at twelve o'clock, at the London Tavern, to consider on the dissolution of the company under Lord Dalhousie's Act. Mr. Spottiswood occupied the chair. Messrs. Thos. M'Quig, James Watt, and James Brydon were then appointed scrutineers. The CHAIRMAN then moved that this company be forthwith dissolved, and put the question. He then moved that this dissolution be not an act of bankruptcy, and put this question to the meeting. A PROPRIETOR wished to know whether the directors present. represented scrip. The CHAIRMAN—Of course they do. Mr. COHEN asked whether the 3,5001. applied by the directors in the purchase of shares bad been paid into the assets of the company ? The CHAIRMAN—Of course not. It was a purchase for the company. The scrutineers then reported that 505 had voted for dissolution and 25 against it ; that 320 voted against its being an act of bankruptcy, and 60 for it, 125 being neuter. Mr. M`Qum said it was necessary for the Chairman to produce his scrip, though he could not vote ; but having understood, as a scrutineer, that the Chairman had, by inadvertency, left his scrip at home, he believed no one would doubt the Chairman having scrip, and moved, therefore, that he be continued in the chair. This was put and carried. The CHAIRMAN then said he was happy to tell the shareholders, that since he last met them the surplus funds were in a better condition ; that instead of 7s. 6d. a share he expected there would be 10s. unless some expenses were created to the; company of which they bad no anticipation. A PROPRIETOR could not understand how the direc tors could have spent 325. a share. The CHAIRMAN—In obtaining their Act of Parlia ment. Mr. Buneum, said, in the case of this company the Act may be said to have been obtained, for they had gone through all the trouble and expenses necessary ; they had gone through the Lords, and they were ad vanced in the Commons as far as the third reading. Mr. COHEN—The North Staffordshire, which sus tained a contest for nearly two years, had only con tracted 16s. expenses per share. Mr. BURCHILL said that Mr. Cohen would recollect that in the case of the North Staffordshire there was a large capital, whereas in this company the capital was but small, and the expenses and fees of the house were the same, or nearly so, in both instances. Mr. COHEN.—'T here is 8001. put down by the directors for travelling expenses, and yet in the North Stafford shire they were no more than 400/. ; a line as long again as this one. Mr. BURCHILL—The travelling is to Ireland in the one case and not in the other. Mr. MORLEY said that when first this company was brought before the public he had become one of the board. After sitting there for a time he felt it necessary to retire. He found, however, that he could not withdraw his interest so easily as his per - son from the company, and therefore to protect that, he begged his friends again to have him elected. If there had been any improper conduct in this company, he was ready to go into a court of bank ruptcy with the shareholders, or he would gd' with them into the Court of Chancery; or, which he thought the better advice, he would be happy to co-operate with one or two gentlemen from among the shareholders assembled, on a committee to investigate the accounts of the com pany before next meeting. He believed he was still legally liable for,all that had been done by the directors in his absence, and he was ready to meet his liabilities and to investigate the charges. There were thirteen or fourteen directors at first, and here were only three to answer for their conduct. Mr. COHEN was most happy to hear the suggestion last made, and gave it his decided support. After an altercation of a somewhat personal character between Mr. Cohen and the Chairman, Messrs. M'Quig and Cohen were deputed on the part of the shareholders to confer with the directors on the affairs of the com pany, and to report at next meeting. The CHAIRMAN adjourned . the meeting to the 6th October next, at two o'clock. " GET OFF THE GRASS."—A MISTAKE.-011 Sun day afternoon, during the time the private gardens wad the eastern terrace, at Windsor, were open to the public, Lord John Russell, one of her Majesty's guests, walked from the terrace, and was proceeding across the grass, in the Home-park, towards the iron gates opposite to the Long-walk, a portion of the royal domains from which the public are excluded. His Lordship had pro ceeded some distance before he was noticed by one of the Castle policemen, who no sooner saw a stranger (as he supposed) on forbidden ground, and not knowing who it wcomesbunnegko, u n t n w d 'it g h e s t te n n if ter t ti e n g y r o a i s c, s e l " CHanmlleo, back,y-cu , siryou sir sir !" Lord John immediately got off the grass, and returned Lack towards the York and Lancaster towers. By the time his Lordship had got to within some thirty or forty paces of the policeman, the official found out his mistake, having been informed the offi.nding party was a person in the suite of some of her Majesty's visitors. He then called out to Lord John (who had evidently been taken by surprise), "You may go on ; you are all right enough." His Lordship, smiling at the by standers, then retraced his steps, and pursued his walk across the park, towards the avenue of trees leading to the Waterloo gate. Madame Caradori Allan, who has been on a visit at Belvoir Castle during the past week, is unfortunately prevented by indisposition from taking part in the concert at Marlborough House, for which she had been honoured with the commands Of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. ACCIDENTS BY PRINTING MACHINERY.—On Mon day evening, at about eight o'clock, a youth, named James Cook, seventeen years of age, an apprentice of Messrs. Cox and Sons, printers to her Majesty, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, was in the machine room, when his right hand got drawn into some portion of the machinery, and before the latter could be effec tually stopped the hand and arm to the shoulder were so frightfully mangled that, on his being conveyed to King's College Hospital, it was stated that amputation of the limb would be unavoidable.—Yesterday afternoon another accident of the same kind happened to a youth named George Martin, sixteen years of age, in the em ployment of Mr. Lloyd, printer, Salisbury-square. The sufferer, in this instance, was endeavouring to catch a sheet of paper which was being drawn in by the cylinder, when his right hand and arm were also caught by the machinery, and both were shockingly injured. THE WOOLWICH RAILWAY.—The works of this branch line of the South-Eastern are to be commenced forthwith, the valuation of the property required by the company baying been completed. It branches off the present Greenwich rail about three-quarters of a mile from the junction of the Dover and Brighton lines, and passing through the upper end of Deptford, reaches Woolwich by Lewisham and Lee. Upwards of 300 houses, besides other buildings, are to be demolished in the centre of Woolwich, to admit of its progress. The course it takes on reaching the town is parallel with the boundary wall of the western portion of the dockyard, curving off to the right, south of Woolwich Church, where it is carried in a straight line to within 200 yards of the Arsenal. It is the intention of the South-Eastern Company to place two stations for the accommodation of the naval and military authorities in the town ; one, it is under stood, will be erected at that portion of the line adjacent to the Royal Arsenal, and the other near the western extremity of the dockyard. It is expected to be com pleted in the course of the ensuing nine months.
