MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE —MONDAY. The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market last week were on n fair average scale, and the same may be said of . Beans; while those of Barley were larger than for some time Past. Of all other articles of home produce the receipts were very small. From Ireland upwards of 10,000 quarters of Oats came fresh to 'hand, but the imports of foreign Wheat, Barley, Beans, a•iid Peas, were comparatively trifling—those of Oats, Linsee,d, and Flour, rather extensive—over 12,000 barrels of the, latter article having reached us from America. From Kent, rather more than an average quantity of English Wheat 'leached us to-day in excellent conditi on , b ut from StiP - "sex. and Cambridgeshire the fresh ar r i va l s were small. „ however, the show of samples was moderately e 's.tensive. The millers being mostly well in stock, rind the potato accounts being considered rather More favourable than of late, the demand for all descriptions of English Wheat was somewhat inactive, without any im provement in the quotations. Yet prior to the close of busi rsess a fair clearance was effected, at Friday's improvement in the quotations of from is to 2s per quarter. There was evidently more inclination on the part of the holders to do business at that day's prices. With free Foreign Wheat we Were moderately well, but not to say heavily supplied. Selected parcels of both red and white sold at Friday's im larroved currencies, but no advance upon them was noticed zn any instance. Holders were again tolerably firm. For bonded Grain there was less inquiry ; but about 2,000 quarters of Dantzic found buyers for shipment to Holland, at late rates. W e were fairly supplied with English $a l a te ; but the supply of foreign was small. The best grinding parcels were in fair request,' at about revious quotations i but all other kinds hung on hand. The supply of Malt was limited. Those parcels ready for delivery corn _llaalded a firm inq u i ry, at very full prices ; while the value ?I-4tter other kinds was well supp fast, y et orted. We were muc h ;o suppthe lied with Oats than for some t i me in uir fo that description of Grain vras firm, and fine producedC q orn r fully Gd per quarter more stoney.. The arrivals from Ireland are expected to be weltfling for some time hence. The supply of Beans being on iitenepreeriasse,fx further advance was noticed in their value. d steadily, other kinds slowly, at late rates. In Flour only a moderate business was doing, at last Monday's quotations. CURRENCY I ° , ' "ill eat -- -Essex ,g, ce ii, ~.'-at IMPERIAL MEASURE Red, New.,.

We The imports of live st oc k f or our market during the past have been on an extensive scale, and of unusually Prune quality ; indeed, scarcely any of the Beasts have reached us in a half-fed state. Several of the Cows imported 5 0310 Months since, and which were disposed of to the cow keepers in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, have again appeared on sale here in excellent condition ; and We understand they have turned out excellent milkers.

By sea, about 200 Pigs have arrived in the metropolis from Ireland. We had on offer 830 foreign Oxen and Cows, 2,300 ditto of Sheep and Lambs, and 22 Calves, nearly the whole of which Found buyers at full prices. The supply of home-fed Beasts was again moderately extensive, and of fair average quality. On the whole Beef was in a sluggish state, and last week's quotations were barely supported. From the northern dis tricts 'We received 2,200 Short-horns, from the western and lnidla.nd counties, 700 Herefords, Devone, Runts, &c., and from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds, the re rnainder of the supply being chiefly derived from abroad. With Sheep we were, comparatively speaking, very mode rately, supplied ; hence the slutton trade was active at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, the currencies obtained on Monday last.

It should not be said that he fell through his worthlessness or personal crimes. It should be for his political offences that he was na tionally adjudged. And never was there prince in whom the ancient assertion, " lie whom God means to destroy, he first drives mad," seemed more fully realised. Amiable and religious in his natural disposition, he had been educated in such principles of duplicity, and such ideas of kingly prerogative, that he exhibited the strangest mixture of directness of purpose and disregard of all truth that ever met in the same human being. He was truly the martyr of royalty ; God seemed to have blinded his eyes, and to have hardened his heart, like that of Pharaoh, to deliver him up as the great victim of arbi trary principles. He had the air of a sacrifice from his youth ; and when Vandyke painted his portrait to send to Berni n i in Rom e for the execution of his bust, that artist started at the view of it, and declared the posses sor of that face born to destruction. In Vandyke's four celebrated paintings of him, we see him , were, o n t h e path of his gloomy destiny. A mridingelan as it cho, deep and fixed as death, reigns in his whole form and l i y n every eature; and on th at path he went, not with a wild downcast hardih impetuosity, hood, but blin with a solemn, desperat e , and od to all the signs in heav en an d on earth, the mo s t wretched and incorrigible of men.— -tiampclen's History of the English Ari,stocracy.

IN RE SAMPSON GWYNNE• In this case, which was under the Small Debts Act, an attorney's clerk applied to the Learned Commissioner under the following circumstances:—He stated that an order of commitment had been granter] by Mr. Commis sioner Evans, under the Small Debts Act, against the defendant; but it was with great difficulty he could ever be seen, •as he was always denied. On Saturday the officers saw him, and endeavoured to make a caption, but the defendant got away. This morning they went to the house, and were referred to a person who answered to the defendant's name, and from their previous view of him, they had no hesitation in taking him off to Horsemonger-lane Gaol. It was, however, discovered that they had taken the defendant's brother, and they were so much alike that it was with difficulty they could be distinguished. Although the mistake was beyond all doubt, the Governor of the gaol refused to discharge his prisoner, except under an order from this Court. The Learned COMMISSIONER referred to the Act, and said that he had no power to interfere; he could only grant it on an admission being made by the plaintiff or his attorney, on the back of the order, that the debt and costs had been paid. The Clerk asked whether the Governor would not be justified in discharging his prisoner without an order, or, in fact, whether he could legally detain him, as he was not the party mentioned in the order. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he could give no advice; they must use their own discretion. GUILD HALL.—(T HIS DAY.) A middle-aged man named Merry, was charged with stealing an inkstand from the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall, where the Revising Barrister, Mr. Arnold, is now carrying on the revision of the City Registration. The prisoner was stopped by a policeman when in the act of quitting the Court with his prize. He acknow ledged his guilt, to which he said he was driven by want, an assertion evidently contradicted by the re spectability of his dress and appearance. Finding that the excuse made little impression, he took another ground, and said that he committed the theft " in obedi ence to a sudden impulse which he could not resist. He had never felt such a sensation before." The latter con fession excited some laughter. He was ultimately re manded to Wednesday, that inquiries may be made into his character. It may be observed that a little sharper looking after such persons in the public courts and offices is much wanted. MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Michael Murphy, a tailor, living at No. 6, St. Ann's court, Soho-square, was charged this morning with as saulting complainant with scissors. John King said the defendant came home this morn ing, between three and four o'clock, and pulled all the bed-clothes off him. He got up, and asked him what he meant by that, when he struck him a severe blow. The defendant then pulled out a pair of large scissors, and stuck them into his nose. He pulled them out, and with one of the blades made a deep gash in his arm about an inch and a half long. The complainant resisted him, and, in attempting to twist the scissors from his grasp, had his hand cut across. The police-constable who took him into custody said the complainant was bleeding much at the nose, and there was a deep ugly gash on his arm. The defendant said he found the bed-room dcor locked, and it was not unfastened for a long time after he knocked. The complainant also had cut him with the scissors. The MAGISTRATE said he had used a very dangerous weapon, and he would fine him 44, or send him to prison for six weeks. WORSHIP-STREET'. -(THIS DAY.) John 21PCartney was brought before Mr. Broughton, charged with creating a mob, and violently assaulting the police. 201 G stated that, on Saturday night last, about half past ten o'clock, he was on his beat in Horseshoe-alley, Shoreditch, when he saw the prisoner in a most ex citeable state, in the midst of about sixty persons. Wit ness desired him to go home. Prisoner refused, but witness, thinking that he would be quiet, walked off, but as he was proceeding he suddenly received two tre mendous blows on the neck from the prisoner, who then fastened on him, and both fell to the ground. Prisoner then commenced kicking and biting witness, and, he be lieved, he would scarcely have escaped with his life, had not a brother police-constable come up to his assistance. The prisoner was then secured, but not without the ut most difficulty. This statement being corroborated, Mr. BROUGHTON said that the police must be pro tected from such ruffians as the prisoner, otherwise they were of no use. He should commit him for three weeks to gaol, with hard labour. FUNERAL of THOMAS CLARKSON. Yesterday, the mortal remains of Thomas Clarkson were consigned to their final resting place, in Playford Church-yard. The funeral was strictly private, for, with the exception of Joseph Sturge, Esq., who arrived unexpectedly, none but relatives took part in the ceremony. Several gentlemen from Ipswich and the neighbourhood were, however, present to testify their respect for the memory of the venerable philanthropist, and their sympathy for the bereaved widow and family. The funeral cortege, con sisting of the hearse, drawn by four horses, and four mourning coaches, each drawn by two horses, left Play ford Hall a few minutes past one o'clock. In the first coach, which preceded the hearse, were Arthur Bidden, Esq., and J. D. Harmer, Esq. In the coach following the hearse were Thomas Clarkson, Esq., grandson of the deceased gentleman, chief mourner, the Rev. W. Dickinson, Mrs. Dickinson, the Rev. Foster Maynard, and Mrs.Dyee. The next con tained Robert Buck, Esq., Alexander Haldane, Esq., John Corsbie, Esq., and Mrs. Corsbie. In the last - were J. A. Hardcastle, Esq., and Joseph Sturge, &:q. The procesSion was closed with the the ri vate carriage of M r . Cl arkson, followed by t domestics of th e esta b lishment. As soon as outer gate of the d oma i n was reached the ca the r riage of R. N. Shawe, Esq., with that gentleman inside, fell into the line of procession, which was further increased by the addition of the gentlemen from the neighbo ur h ood. In this order they proceeded through th e v ill age to the churchyard, passing, at every point, groups of the inhabi tants, whose respectful demeanour was a most gra tifying feature in the scene. Arrived at the church yard, some little time was occupied in drawing the coffin from the hearse, owing to its great weight, and the mourners having alighted, and entered the consecrated ground, they were headed by the Rev. T. D. West, Vicar of Rushmere, who read the beautiful burial service of the Church of England most impressively. The family vault, in which rest the remains of Thos. Clark son, Esq., barrister, the deceased's son, whose death oc curred in 1837, is situate near the door, in the south side of the chancel. The coffin, containing besides a shell and a leaden coffin, and covered with plain black cloth, with a silver plate on the top, having the name of the deceased and the .dates of his birth and death en graved thereon, having been lowered into the vault, the family returned to the Hall, and the spectators shortly afterwards dispersed. The funeral was under the super intendence of Mr. Ray and Mr. Maplestone, of Ipswich. —Suffolk Chronicle. AUSTRIAN FUNDS.—MNNA, SEPT. 26. 5 per Cent.

CLOSE OF THE FIFTH DAY'S POLL. What we stated on Saturday we can only repeat again to-day—the cause of Alderman Wood and the cause of the Livery is still in the ascendant, and no doubt can be entertained that it will continue so until the end of the poll. The public interest of the election appeared to be greatly increased. Upon the hustings assembled at an early hour the friends of Alderman Wood and Sir George Carroll in greater numbers than had appeared upon any former day, with the exception of the first, and the evidences of a contest were more strongly marked, par ticularly towards the conclusion of the day's poll. The usual language of approval and disapprobation was dealt out in a less restrained manner by the crowd immediately in front of the hustings, and the shouts in favour of Alderman Wood were much more vehement, if possible, than any with which the Hall has resounded since the commencement of the election. The poll of the fifth day closed at three o'clock, and shortly after that hour it was announced to be as follows : Mr. Aleermaa Wood 1248 Sir G Carroll B5B Mr. Alderman Hooper Mr. Alderman Farneomb 1 Mr. Alderman Moon 3 The announcement was received with the most vehe ment cheering from a crowded hall, and the statement that Alderman Moon had advanced two on the poll created no inconsiderable merriment. Mr. Alderman Wools then came forward to address the Livery. It was a high gratification to him to appear on the fifth day's poll in the proud and triumphant posi tion in which he then stood.—(Cheers.) For that position he begged to tender to the Livery his most sincere g r atitude.—(Cheers.) It had been his intention to hare said but little on that occasion, as it was his wish to reserve himself to the last day of the election •, but having read in one of the most valuable journals of the country a statement reflecting upon his conduct in a transaction to whi c h h e had many times alluded, he trusted that the Livery would allow him to say a few words, particularly as he found that that journal had not been fairly dealt with.—(Cheers.) That statement had been put in doubtless at the request of parties that he would not name, and that journal with its usual caution, and animated by that sense of justice which had always distinguished it—(Cheers)—published it, but at the same time stating that it would not vouch for its correctness.—(Cheers.) Every public man was a legiti mate object of public animadversion ; and public con duct was fairly the text for the observations and stric tures of the press. The service rendered to the com munity by the practice was unquestionable; but when, through the public vehicles of intelligence, misrepre sentations were made by interested parties, although the prints themselves might be blameless, those who authorised the publication were the more strongly re prehensible.—(Cheers.) Two gentlemen had in Thurs day appeared on the hustings, and made several state ments with the view of prejudicing his character with the public. Those statements were brought forward in an off hand manner; and, although he stepped forward to answer them at the instant, one of the gentlemen left the hustings and his work of mischief, without waiting for the antidote to the poison with which he had been charged.—(Loud cries of " Shame," and cheering.) It was well known that in 1832 he had been called upon to take the guidance of a suit on behalf of the Irish Society—(Cheers)—in which that society was engaged with the Skinners' Company.—(Cheers.) That suit con tinued in progress until 1845, and had occupied twelve days in one court, fourteen days in a second, and six teen days in a third. The most unwearied attention to the legal proceedings was indispensable, and he had come to an understanding with the Irish Society that his bills should b e annu ally paid, for the expenses neces sarily incurred were considerable, in a case in which such valuable interests were involved. He found it, however, a matter of difficulty at all times to obtain the payment of the expenses he was out of pocket, and the payments, which were promised to be annual, degene rated into payments of two and three years' procrastina tion. Here Alderman Wood referred particularly to the statement made in the Times of Saturday, headed " Alderman Wood and the Irish Society," and denied in the most positive manner the truth of the accusation made against him by the writer of the statement, whom he believed to be Mr. Anderton, the deputy-governor of the Irish Society. (The statement contained a repetition of the charges made against Alderman Wood by Mr. Anderton and Mr. Taylor, but in a more detailed form, and asserted, amongst other things, that he had not paid a large amount of fees to counsel and their clerks, although he had long since drawn the money from the society for such purpose.) He again solemnly declared to the meeting that in the whole of his conduct in the affair to which the statement referred, he had shown the highest degree of integrity and zeal, and that his exertions had been crowned with the most unquestionable success. But calumny was a detestable agent, that never slept, and Mr. Anderton, the man who had in 1845 be smeared him with praises, which he knew to be much greater than he deserved, now started up on a sudden and turned round as his traducer.--(Cries of " Shame, shame," and loud cheers.) The base attacks upon him invaded the whole intercourse of his private life, and his character was invaded in proportion to the good he was endeavouring to accomplish for his fellow citizens. lie trusted that the Livery would not relax in their ex ertions to enable him to overcome the efforts of the slanderers who had been so indefatigable in their en deavours to deprive him of the good opinion of the public ; but that they would come in numbers to the poll until four o'clock on Tuesday, when the contest would be at an end.—(Loud cheers.) The gratitude that he felt for the position in which the Livery had placed him, was almost overpowering, and he hoped be • fore he met them on Monday that the questions which had been raised against him would be completely settled and disposed of.—(Cheers.) He begged of them again, if they- found uncalled for attacks made upon him, to suspend their judgment.—(Cheers.) They had witnessed the attacks that had already been made upon him.--(Cries of " We don't believe them.") Those attacks had been published all over the world ; he told them again and again that they were without foundation.—(Cries of "We know they are.") He had stated the whole truth that day, and he challenged contradiction of it.--(Greet cheering.) Mr. BENNOCK, a member of the Common Council, then came forward to address the Livery. He would not apologise for presenting himself to the meeting, for in that hall he was aware that every Englishman was heard with patience. He could not, therefore, resist the temptation to give his opinion upon a contest which had occasioned such excitement through circumstances most discreditable to the city of London. In speaking of the discreditable character of the circumstances at tending the electi on , h e a ll uded to t h e co nd uc t o f t h e irresponsible which they w were edy armed who i hadn r e j e e x e exercised sea gentleman whod the veto with had been twice returned to them by the Livery, as qua lified for the office of chief magistrate. — (Cheers.) And why had they rejected him ? What reason had they given for their refusal to select the choice of the Livery for the office in which they wished to see him acting?—. (Hear, hear.) One alderman said that Alderman Wood was ineligible because of his connexion with joint-stock companies. —(Laught er .) N ow, if a connexion with joint-stock companies constituted ineligibility, he should be glad to be informed which of the aldermen were qua lified?—(Cheers and laughter.) He was merely calling the attention of the Livery to certain facts which ap peared to him to he in the case before them most ma terial for their consideration. He knew that multitudes had been ruined by the system of plunder adopted in joint-stock companies ; that many individuals had not only lost their fortunes, but actually were deprived of the means of giving their families bread, by their con nexion with speculations of the kind. Success . w - ould altered the tone of such censurers . "Oh I but, , said they, "Alderman Wood has got into pecuniary difficul ties by making the experiment." The wonder was, in his opinion, boy a man who entered into speculations of this kind continued to escape ruin at all, for it was well known there were innumerable instances in which men of integrity were sacrificed, while the basest of mankind pocketed the money of which the former were plun dered. Those who made Mr. Wood an alderman had a right to see him in the most elevated position. It would, no doubt, be discreditable for a chief magistrate to be dodged from post to pillar in consequence of pe cuniary liabilities and wants, but Alderman Wood had promised by Monday to give a satisfactory refutation of all that had been alleged against him, and to show that he was in a condition to go through the high office he sought with credit to himself.—(Cheers.) Alderman Wood had stated, with reference to the trial in Ireland, that a reversal of the judgment had been obtained. Those who were opposed to the election of Alderman Wood declared that no new trial had taken place, and that there had been no such event as a reversal of the decision.—(A voice—" They tell lies.") The persons who circulated such calumnies deserved punishment. They ought to be made amenable to the laws. Alderman Wood had promised to show that his contradiction of such statements was correct, and the Livery would support the claims of a calumniated man the more vigorously in proportion to the untenable na ture of the charges.—(Cheers.) Out of the present question far more important questions arose than that of the election of any particular individual to the high and important office of Lord Mayor. That question was the constitution of the Court of Alde rmen. What was th i bodyery would exercise the p r i- Court o f Al dermen now now ? -- (Cheers.) What mightgceO4; n i s it t t i n tu o pt t o i s o bi n eesi O sfe f tti t h leat lilhve were an irresponsible body—(Cheers) —it lay wills the Livery to say whether they would be so any longer.— (Cheers.) They were everything to the Livery before an election—(Cheers)—but after one they snapped their fingers at the men who called themselves the freemen of London.—(Cheers, and cries of "We will stand it no longer.") He hoped they would not, but how was the re medy to be obtained ? Easy enough. Mahe the Aldermen come before the Livery every three years, to be re elected.—(Cheers, and cries of "We will.") If they did that, there would never then be any difficulty as to who should be the man to fill the civic chai r. — (Cheers.) Ac cording to the present constitution of the Court of Aldermen, if the Livery placed Alderman Wood at the head of the poll by a majority of upwards of 2,000, that Court could reject him if they pleased.—(Cheers.) Now such a veto he contended ought never to exist, but if it was to exist in the Court of Aldermen, let the members of that Court be answerable to the Livery every three, five, or seven years.—(Cheers.) The press could do great things t :wards the reformation of the Court of Aldermen, and he trusted that they would leave no stone unturned to effect so desirable an object.—(Cheers.) Mr. Hour called upon the Livery in the most em phatic manner to crowd to the poll on Monday. It was but justice to the Livery that he should state that the freemen householders returned the Aldermen, and with them lay the election of the high office of Lord Mayor of the city of London. Thu Hall was then adjourned to Monday (this day), at nine o'clock in the moining. THEATRE ROYAL DRURY-LANE. Mr. Bunn commenced his campaign here on Satur day night, with the opera of The Crusaders, and the new ballet of The Offspring of the Flowers, of which the sylph •like Flora Fabbri is the heroine. The plot of the ballet is soon told. Estelle (Madame Theresa Theodore) is about to be married to Prince Julian, (Mons. Theodore), with the consent of her father the Duke (Mr. Howell), but there is a certain Page, Enrico (Mons. Bretin), who loves the fair Estelle, and in consequence of his love is expelled from the castle. The rejoicings for the nuptials go on, and there is here introduced an excellent pas d'ensemble by the corps de ballet, and a pas de deux by the be trothed, in which Mons. and Madame Theodore were much applauded. The exiled page is conveyed to Fairy Land, none of the denizens of which seem in clined to pay any attention to the forlorn lover. The Queen, however, takes pity on his case, and from a flower raises a Nymph, who is the very perfection of his earthly love. The budding and blowing of this beautiful flower Is admirably managed, and when Ersile (Mademoiselle Flora Fabbri), the very ideal of love, stands before him he forgets his mortal love, and is fascinated by her trans cendental antitype. Here is introduced a pas by Mademoiselle Flora Fabbri, somewhat resembling one of the dances of the Viennoise children, which almost induces him to forget the Princess; and then comes a pas de schalls, in which the fair offspring of the flowers completely fascinates him, a 3 she does the audience, for it was rapturously and most deservedly , applauded. Never did Flora Fabbri dance more ex quisitely. Then comes th e p as d e g l ace, a dance on the ice, by Flora Fabbri, in which she sees her shadow reflected in the iced surface, a la Cerito, in the pas de r ombre. In the second act we are again introduced to the court of the Duke—great rejoicings are going on at the marriage of the Prin cess. The page is there, but completely cured of his love for the mere mortal. There is a prize, inscribed "To the most graceful." The page enters leading in the Offspring of the Flowers ; Flora Fabbri dances La Castigliana, an exquisite castanet dance, and the prize is awarded to her by acclamation.• Thus ends this ballet, the pearl chain running through and stringing into one the pearls,which consist of the various pas of which it is composed, and which, if they could be brought nearer together by judicious condensation, would make it, perhaps, one of the most popular ballets that has ever been produced. M. and Madlle. Theodore (who made their debfit last night) are ex cellent chcereographic artistes ; but Flora Fabbri is the diesse—upon her fell the whole weight of the ballet, and nobly did she sustain it. There was a freshness about her dancing that was perfectly de lightful. Considering the great call there was upon her physical powers, it must have been to her a labour, but it was a labour of love. She danced because dancing was to her a language —the only language in which she could adequately express her sentiments. It was for her a perfect triumph. The success of the ballet was complete, and it will run, no doubt, during the win& of Flora Fabbri's engagement. The theatre has been completely renovated during the recess, and a new drop-scene, by Grieve, was exhibited for the first time. It is very brilliant and admirable as a speci men of scene painting, but scarcely equal to the drop • scene of Acis and Galatea, from the pencil of Stan field, which has been exhibited for the last—we will not say how many seasons. It is, no doubt, now " used up ;" last season it exhibited evident symp toms of decay, and Mr. Bunn has shown his taste in giving us an entirely new scene in preference to vamping up the old drop-scene (however exquisitely painted) of Stanfield. Before the commencement of the opera the National Anthem was sung by the whole corps operatique. The house was crowded to the ceiling. DR. BOWRING IN THE ISLE OF MAN. We have received a recent number of Mona's Herald, which details with great minuteness the festivities which have been got up at Douglas, in celebration of a visit of our distinguished fellow townsman, the Hon. M.P.: for Bolton. This visit, in which the Learned Gentleman was accompanied by his son, the Earl of Clarendon's secretary, was intended to have been private; but the natives, who regard him as " their Island's best friend," and are grateful for his exertions in procuring their municipal, legal, and commercial emancipation, were in a fervent heat of expectation at the news of his arrival— thronged the pier, went out in delegation boats to receive him from the Liverpool steamer, and surrounded his barouche upon the pier, where he addressed them, and again at Castle Mona. In the evening bonfires and fireworks were displayed. The next day (Friday 18th) Dr. Bowring proceeded to Castle-town, and had an interview with Governor Hope. Several deputations waited upon him, respecting the harbour funds, highways registration, and other in sular affairs. The next day he visited Ramsey, where he was entertained at a public dinner, W. Callister, Esq., in the chair. On Monday, there was a dinner in the Odd Fellows' Hall, Douglass, Colonel Campbell of Raveradale in the chair. " The landowners present" represented ten thousand acres of land. The health of Dr. Bowring was given and responded to in an impressive speech ; the health of Mrs. Bow ring and family was acknowledged by Mr. E. Bowring, who proposed " the Ladies of Mona." Dr. Bowring proposed the toast., "Popular Representation in the House of Keys." In the course of his speech ho said, " Here are in this island 50,000 people ; and it is impos sible they can continue longer without a voice in making their laws—they can no longer be governed by a self elected body. We do not want the insular government merged in that of England ; but this is what we want, to have local rights and local interests controlled by local bodies, representing the people. I respect the claim which the Manx people make for their local institutions; but I would have them assimilated to the intelligence of the age. I hope the laws will still be proclaimed on Tynwald Hill; but when the representative of Majesty shall go there to Twynwald, carrying his act to be pro claimed, I want him to be able to say " This law was made by yourselves—made through the representatives of the public sentiment, and the will of the people." The present state of things is absolutely intolerable. It is not credible—it would not be believed elsewhere that the advocates who may have been employed in the process or cause sit as judges to hear the cause on ap peal ; besides, the blending of the legislative, executive, and j u di c i al powers can be endured no lnger. Wh en I menti one d the fact to one high in authority, of advo cates sittin g as judges, he seemed not to know the ex istence of the fact, and doubted its truth—well he might. The public indignation will be aroused on hearing of the usage, and it will not be tolerated—it shall not be tole rated—it shall be removed."— Western Times. - - TIM GREAT BRITAIN. --- LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EYRNlNG.—Letters from Dundrum Bay, dated yester day, have been received to-day. The weather continued favourable. The two steam -tugs dispatched from this port had arrived. Fresh anchors had been run out in order to heave the vessel off shore. The Belfast steamer, Sea Nymph, was expected in the bay on Sunday (to morrow) to render assistance. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY 'EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1846. rt LORD CAMPBELL. ':But what we particularly admire' is the liberal, en lightened, and consistent policy which you have pursued. During a long public lif e y ou h ave a l wa y s b een f oun d the advocate of justice and freedom. More especially, we feel grateful for your able assistance in the great cause of commercial freedom, and we trust you will never feel satisfied until every restriction and every monopoly shall be abolished, and free trade be universally established. " That you may enjoy long life and domestic happiness is our earnest wish. " Signed in our name, and by our authority, in council assembled, this 14th day of September, 1846. " IVM. VALLANGE, Provost." To which his Lordship returned the following answer : " Mr. Provost and Gentlemen,—l am much gratified by this mark of your esteem, which I can only ascribe to your devoted attachment to the principles of civil and religious liberty which I hare supported. "I feel that you have greatly over-rated any merit which may belong to me ; but at the same time I can truly say, that while as a Scotsman I am proud of my country, I hare striven that my country might not be ashamed of me. " I shall never abandon the policy which has gained your approbation, and I shall never feel satisfied until every restriction and every monopoly shall be abolished, and free trade be universally established. " I particularly thank you, gentlemen, for your kind wishes for me in private life, being fully convinced ' that domestic happiness' is far more to be prized than power or fame. "In return, I beg to express a sincere wish that the magistrates and town council of Portobello may long be distinguished by an enlightened love of our constitution, and that the ' roof-tree' of every one of you may, like mine, witness nought but harmony, affection, and con tentment."—Caledonian Mercury.

DEATH OF THE BARON DE BODE.—The Baron de Bode, whose claims on the British Government to a sum of money, amounting to nearly a million, have so long been before the public, died on Friday evening, at ten minutes past nine o'clock, at his residence, 18, Grove end-road, St. John's Wood. The death of the Baron was quite sudden, After taking a glass of water, he was observed to look pale and be tremulous, and in a few moments more fell down and instantly expired. He had been complaining of illness for nine or ten days previously, brought on, it was supposed by his family, by mental anxiety in connexion with the further hearing of his case, which is appointed for next month ; but the illness was not at any time deemed such as to cause any anxiety, and he had so far recovered on the day previous to his death, that his medical adviser suggested to him the propriety of taking an airing in the carriage. The Baron was in his seventieth year. Though his means were comparatively limited, he kept two car riages a-,d several servants. He has left three sons, the eldest of whom has been abroad for some time, but is on his way home, Their ages vary from twenty to thirty. The relatives of the Baron ascribe his death to the anxiety of mind consequent on the continued prosecution of his claims. SUBMARINE RAILWAYS.—Mr. De la Faye, after the reading of a paper " On Ancient and Modem Modes of Travelling," at the Liverpool Polytechnic Society, on Monday, in which he expatiated upon the advantages of railway transit, and expressed his belief that, by-and-by a daily communication would be established between China, India, and London, by means of the electric tele graph, alluded to his invention of submarine railways. Mr. De la Haye's plan is to construct an immense iron tube, to be lowered from above, and rivetted together by means of the diving-bell. When completed, rails are to be laid down, and locomotives, unaffected by external influences, are to career beneath the bosom of the deep. His theory is, that the violence of the most violent storms is not felt lower than twenty feet below the surface, and that the pressure of the water, together with the accu mulation of sand, would retain the tube in the posi tion in which it might be placed. Mr. De la Haye is a British subject, of French extraction, and is very en thusiastio in his hope as to the adoption and success of his invention.—Liverpool Standard. ARISTOCRATIC USURPATIONS. -- What, indeed, are these Kings Lords and Commons ? Where does the power said to be invested in them really reside ?

NON-LIABILITY OF RAILWAY COMPANIES TO TUE DIETROPOLITAN BUILDINGS ACT.—The Great Western Railway Company are erecting a cottage for the habita tion of their Secretary, C. A. Saunders, Esq., on ground purchased by them, adjacent to, and within the limits of their terminus at Paddington. Mr. Gutch, the district surveyor, conceiving that this cottage as a dwelling house was not built according to the provisions of the Act, gave notice to the builders, Messrs. Locke and Neshana, of Theobalds-road, to alter it in conformity with his views. Mr. Hardwicke, the Company's archi tect, being of opinion that this building was not liable to supervision, gave orders to the builders to pay no at tention to the notice of the surveyor. The result was a formal complaint to the official referees appointed, and acting under the Act. They having appointed a day for entertaining the complaint, the Great 'Western Railway Company instructed their solicitors, Messrs. Maples and Co., to attend and resist the right of interference claimed by Mr. Gutch ; accordingly Mr. Charles Stevens, with Mr. Keeting, the barrister, attended on behalf of the company. Mr. Watson having opened the case on behalf of Mr. Gutch, Mr. Keeting contended that the building was exempted, as being included in schedule 13, sec. 2, of the Metropolitan Buildings Act. On the other side it was alleged that all buildings were under the supervision of the district surveyor, and that the cottage being a building, therefore fell within the strict terms, and that the section only exempted certain works therein referred to, and could not of necessity in clude a dwelling house. Mr. Keeting argued that, inas much as the schedule referred to buildings of all classes, it could not be contended that the dwelling house for Mr. Saunders was not a building within the meaning of the Act, and that reading the clause to which thatschedule par ticularly so applied, and also the last clause of the section, concurrently with the ono immediately before it, spe cially exempting the buildings and works of the London and Birmingham Railway from supervision, this build. ing was clearly within the exemption. It was then argued on the part of Mr. Gutch that this cottage was not on the line of works, and should not, therefore, be deemed part of the works of the railway; but it being proved to the referees that although the cottage was not absolutely essential for the discharge of the duties of secretary, and was not immediately adjoining the offices of the company, yet inasmuch as there was a private way leading to the company's line, and that the cottage was detached and separated from all other dwelling houses, and within the company's fence, the referees, after two weeks' consideration of the point, published an award confimatory of the views of Mr. Hardwicke, and de clared the building exempt from supervision. The point is one of great importance to railway companies, and the award has consequently given great satisfaction to parties interested in such undertakings. After the late prorogation of Parliament' Lord Camp, bell spent some time in sea-bathing quarters with his children at Portobello, previous to his removal to Hart rigge House, Roxburghshire. While there the following address was presented to him : " To the Right lion. Lord Campbell, &c. &c., the unani mous address of the Magistrates and Town Council of the Parliamentary burgh of Portobello. " Understanding that your Lordship is now residing in this town, we feel anxious to embrace the opportunity of testifying our profound respect for your public an d private character by presenting you with the following brief address "We have been long admirers of the great n a t ura l abilities, learning, and virtues, with which Divine Pro vidence has endowed you.

RIVER PLATE-SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES. The following is a translation of a dispatch from Senor Ara' to General Mansilla, commanding the bat teries at San Lorenzo on the Parana:— " His Excellency the Governor, in reference to your note has ordered the undersigned to state to your Ex cellency in reply, that Thomas S. Hood, Esq., has, in fact arrived in this city, accredited confidentially by the Government of her Britannic Majesty, to that of the Ar genuine Confederation, on a special mission for the ar rangement of the pending differences in the River Plate. The dignified and honourable course which the Govern ments of England and France have adopted, the import ant friendly explanations which their envoy has trans mitted to this Government, and the satisfactory guaran tees which the Governor attributes to the said Mr. Hood, on account of his former dignified conduct in the repub lics, call for a corresponding Course on the part of the Confederation, and that its Government should testify to its specific views, and to the sincere friendship with which it is animated towards those high Powers. " Under such circumstances his Excellency the Go vernor orders that your Excellency, with the forces under your command will not take any hostile step against the merchant vessels which remain at Corientes, and may be returning, nor against the Anglo-French vessels of war which which may go up or down the river Parana, but permit them to pass without molesta tion until otherwise ordered, and only in case of their attacking, your Excellency will defend yourself with the same spirit as hitherto. " His Excellency will modify these instructions ac cording to circumstances, and should such become neces sary, revert to the previous orders communicated to your Excellency. In the mean time a prudent vigilance on the part of your Excellency is recommended, in order to avert any untoward consequences resulting from a mis placed confidence. " Buenos Ayres, July 15, 1846." EXPOSURE OF HUMAN REMAlNS.—Throughout the whole of yesterday, the greatest excitement and disgust pervaded the neighbourhood of the Caledonian road, Islington, Maiden-lane, and King's-cross, en the disco very of a large quantity of human bones and pieces of. coffins exposed in the public thorough fares of these localities, under circumstances of a most suspicious and mysterious character. The secresy observed in bringing the remains to the various spots has been such as almost entirely to prevent the detection of the parties who have been guilty of this gross act. In Albion street, a new street running from the Wharf-road, Maiden-lane, to the Caledonian road, a cart-load of earth, &c., was shot on Saturday in the middle of the road, which is in the course of con struction, and emitted a most disgusting effluvium, but was not noticed to contain the remains of human beings. The stench caused an examinatisn to be made, and seve ral other portions of coffins half rotted, and human bones were found. In Bath-street and River-street, two new streets in the course of formation on the north side of the Regent's Canal, a more disgusting proceeding has been resorted to—upwards of three waggon loads of black earth, intermingled with human bones, have been deposited in these streets, and men have been employed to sift the earth for the purpose of mixing portions of it with lime. The bones left in the sieve, composing all parts of the human frame, were thrown on one side and partially buried under clay. The stench arising is of a most dreadful description, No one can tell where the bones, &c., have been brought from, nor who are the parties conc erne d. Th e reporter was present at the various spats, and saw leg and arm bones and portions of human skulls thrown about in all directions. What the police could have been about in allowing such a proceeding to take place without inter ference is asked by every one, as it is stated that two cart loads of the black earth, &c., were deposited in River-street yesterday morning at two o'clock. THE 'WELLINGTON STATUE. The manner in which Mr. M'Cullum, boatswain of the Woolwich Dock yard, and the riggers under his direction, accomplished the raising of the great weight of this statue, has sur prised many persons, but Mr. M'Cullum does not consider the feat more that an ordinary task, as he would have no hesitation in undertaking to raise a body of one hundred tons weight to a similar height of one hun dred and five feet, which the base on which the eques trian statue of the Duke of Wellington now stands is from the ground. The work of raising the statue was accomplished by forty-four men, eight at each Of the four " crabs" for coiling the ropes, two holding on, and one at each stopper. Some idea of the strength of the framework may be formed, when it is computed that it supported a weight of about ninety tons at a height of upwards of 105 feet from the ground. This is ascertained by calculating the weight of the statue, the ropes and tackling, and the number of per sons, of whom there were always upwards of sixty, in ducing strangers, on the scaffolding, until the statue was raised to its proper position. So excellently were all the- parts adjusted, that four men, with two single ropes, moved .the statue backwards and forwards on the tramway, when Mr,. Wyatt adjusted it on the Thursday after it was raised to the top of the arch. The framework required 250 loads of timber, the whole of which was supplied by Wo o l w i c h Dockyard, and the ex pense of ironwork and labour, including the carriage, exceeds 5001., and with the timber the total expense of raising the statue will exceed 9001. Admiral Byham Martin, Vice Admiral Matson, C o m mo d ore Willi am Henry Sheriff, late Captain Superintendent of Chatham Dockyard, and a number of naval and military officers, visited the statue since it has been placed on the top of the arch, and expressed their entire approbation of the way in which the whole of the arrangements were made and carried into execution. EXTENSION AND COMPLETION OF THE OVERLAND ROUTE TO INDIA, AND THE WHOLE EASTERN ARCH'. PELAGO.—We believe that we can safely affirm that the East India Company have given their sanction to a line of railway across the southern continent of India, with the view of facilitating our intercourse with the East, with China, and with our Australian possessions. The forthcoming report of Mr. Simms suggests the necessity of intersecting the presidencies of Madras and Bombay by a line of railway, and thus bringing within a month or six weeks journey to England the most distant pos sessions in the southern hemisphere. If this project be carried out, it will change the commerce of the whole world, and consolidate our vast and scattered fragments of empire into something like a tangible whole. To reach China in one month, Australia in six weeks, and to traverse the Mediterranean, thalndian Ocean, and the vast sweep of waters in the southern hemisphere in the same space of time, may truly be said to be a grand and gigantic scheme. Sir Robert and Lady Peel have arrived at Drayton Manor, from town, after visiting her Majesty at Windsor Castle. The Right Hon. Baronet's mansion in White hall-gardens is undergoing a course of thorough repair. THE IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY:"... In anticipation of the usual quarterly meetings about to take place, it appears that the ironmasters of South Staffordshire, have held a preparatory meeting at Dudley, and after maturely weighing every circumstance connected with the trade, particularly in reference to the anticipated demand for rails, and to the operation of the New American Tariff, resolved unanimously not to advance the prices, but continue them at the ensuing quarter at the same rate as the past, viz., bars and rods 10/. per ton; hoops, 101. 10s.; sheets (single), 11/. 10s. and in other descriptions, in the usual proportion. FEARFUL ACCIDENT AT A BREWERY.-011 Sa turday afternoon, between the hours of five and six o'clock, an accident of a most fearful character, and which it is feared will prove fatal, occurred to a man named Edward Windsor, a bricklayer, who was engaged at work_ at Messrs. Harrison's, the extensive brewers, in the Hampstead -road. The unfortunate man was at the period in question on the top of the building, and by some unaccountable means lost his footing and fell into a well, from a height of above 250 feet. He was conveyed in a cab to the London University College Hospital, when it was ascertained by the house sur geon that he had sustained a broken leg, fractured both arms, and other serious injuries, so as to leave no hopes of his final recovery. WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL.—On Saturday afternoon a meeting of the medical and managing committee of the Westminster Hospital was held at the institution, near Westminster Abbey, for the purpose of commencing the winter session of the school of medicine, and on other business. Mr. Ericbsen took the chair, and after wards delivered the introductory medical address to a very full court. From the report of Mr. J. Wilson, the secretary, it appears that since the establishment of the Westminster Hospital, in 1719, it has afforded the re quired relief to upwards of 323,000 patients. During the past year the number of in-patients amounted to 1,580, having, since the establishment of the hospital, progressively increased from 771 annually to that num ber: the out-patients were upwards of 8,400, of which it is stated 5,6'39 were accidents and urgent cases, ad mitted without letters of recommendatio❑ at all hours. The number of inmates at present maintained is 164 namely, 77 males, and 87 females. Four wards, capable of receiving 60 more paue:its, are now vacant, in conse quence of the financial position of the charity not justi fying the governors re-opening them. ST. MICHAEL'S MOUNT.—It is rumoured among the different circles of society in the west of this county, that our most gracious and beloved Sovereign has offered 55,000/. for St. Michael's Mount, but that the sum asked is 75,000/. Western Times, TRUE BENEVOLENCE .- -At the meeting of the Ballinsloe Union Agricultural Society, on Tuesday, Sir M. D. Bellew, Bart., on being awarded a prize for the best drainage of a certain number of acres, said he de , served no credit whatever on the occasion ; the merit was entirely duo to his son, who, when the distress be came so prevalent in the country, resolved to abandon a tour which he was about to make through Greece and Turkey, in order to expend the money which his journey would have cost him in giving employment to a number of puor people in currying on this drainage. This an nouncement was received with loud applause.—lrish paper. We understand that a department of the Govern ment, hitherto carried cn under a chief; is for the future to be managed by the same chief, assisted by a board of unpaid commissioners.

THE NEW RIVER COMPANY.—Yesterday, by order of the board of directors of the New River Company, the plugs connected with the mains throughout the dis trict that receives the supply of wattr from that source, were pulled up, the object for such a course being stated to be to allow a rapid flow of water in order to cleanse the pipes, a great length of new pipes having been laid down. A large Bull Seal, measuring from the snout to the tip of the tail upwards of seven feet, and nearly six feet in circumference, weighing upwards of c w t., was shot by Stephen Evan, a fisherman, in Newport Bay, on Thursday last.

Company's steam ship Tagus, Captain Evans, left - the docks this day, at three P.M. for Constantinople, Trebi zond, &c., calling at Malta. She takes the Bast India mails and thirty-seven passengers, leaving-_ them iat Malta to be forwarded by the Iberia. The Tagus will not call at Smyrna •dutwards. Slie his a full cargb of bale goods. The Royal West India steam-packet Teviot, 'Captain Boxer, left this port on Friday with the West Andia and Gulf mails, a good general cargo, 1,200 bottles of quicksilver, and company's stores; also ninety-four pas sengers. The Achilles, Captain Wilson, is expected from Alex andria and Malta on the Bth or 9th inst., with the East India and Chinese mails. The Madrid, Captain Bingham, from Gibraltar, may be looked for to-morrow. She will bring the Peninsula and Mediterranean mails. The Royal West India mail packet, the Medway, Captain Adams, with homeward mails, is due on the 7th, but more than likely will arrive here to-morrow. The Dee, Captain Allan, is preparing for sea, and will take out the West India mails of the 17th inst. The Severn, West India boat, will be due on the 22d. The South-Western Steam Navigation Companyhave brought up the South of England Company's boats, 'end the company is now called the New South-Western Steam Navigation Company. Thus ceases all competi tion between this port and Ham, Guernsey, and Jersey, to the cost of the travelling public, who will have no alternative but to submit to this monopoly. CRICKET. tCLARHE AND BUTLER V. HUNT AND BALDWINSON.-- This was the return match between these patties, and as in the instance of the preceding contest, terminatedlin favour of the Manchester. players. Indeed the two men of Nottingham did not stand any chance throughout: It was played on the ground of the Manchester Club, Moss-lane, about three miles out of the town—the self same spot whereon the late England and Manchester match came off. The innings were as follows :-180 balls, 125 hits for 10 runs ; 117 balls, 74 hits for 12 ru9l l Manchester hence won by 66 runs. CHALLENGE TO MR. A. .Mn IN.—Whilst this gentle man was playing his match with Mr. Felix, at Bromley, he received a challenge from Hunt, of Manchester, to the effect that he would play him at single _wicket for 501. a-side. Mr. Mynn, however, had previously determined not to play any more matches after that with Mr. Felix during the present year, and consejlently forwarded a reply to that effect, accompanied with an intimation, that next season he should be willing to play him for any sum from 1001. to 5901. a-side. SURREY v. MIDDLESER.—This match was played on Moulsey Hurst, a spot which many years since ; espe cially in . the earlier part of Lord F. Beauclerk's career— indeed, it was at this place that his Lordship made his public ericketing debut—was that whereon most; of the county of Surrey conflicts were fought ; and cope quently, to those who lived in those days the present match was one of much interest. Surrey, as in days of yore, were the victors upon the first innings, and when night put a close to the game, they had nine wickets..to go down for eleven runs. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT WAULOBT.—We extremely regret to have to record this week one of _the• most extensive conflagrations of farm property whiCh ' has taken place in the East Riding of Yorkshire for very' many years. The sufferer is Mr. James Watson, of Waudby, about ten miles to the west of Hull, and four east from South Cave, a gentleman who has long been known throughout England and on the Continent, for the superior character' of his horned cattle and sheet). There appears to betnot the slightest doubt that this great destruction of property is the , work of an incen diary. Fourteen stacks, containing the whole of the wheat and hay, and nearly the entire crops of an exten sive farm, were enveloped and surrounded by roaring flames. The large oat stack had been removed, and the further progress of the fire in that direction arrested. It was between three and four o'clock when the fire might be said to be thoroughly mastered, and the fear of its further extension at an end, but twelve hours afterwards, thick columns of smoke were still ascending, and the re mainder of the bay stack occasionally burst out into flames, and that of the wheat was a dense mass of in tense red-hot fire, from which in places incessant flames arose. It was affecting to look upon the destruction of so much valuable food for man and provender for cattle. The loss in money value is, we believe, a b out 2,0001., but this is far f r o m b e i ng the total mischief.—Leeds In telligences. TRANSFER OF LICENSES.—ST. CLEMENT DANES, AND ST. PAUL, COVENT -GARDEN, OCT. 3.—St Clement Danes:—Bull's Head, Vere.street--Abraham Davies applied to have the license of this house transferred from William Struttle Hawker.

St. Paul, Covent-garden:—White Swan, Chandos-street —John Philip Freeston to James Ball. Globe, Bow street—Thomas Jackson to William Humphreys. DOUBLE SUICIDE.—EXETEB, SATURDAY.—OOII.• siderable sensation has been created in the vicinity of St. Mary Ottery by a dreadful occurrence, by which the deaths of two unfortunate factory girls were occasioned. On Friday week the deceased females, Mary Ann Old ridge and Jane Smith, were visited by a man of indifferent character, from whom Oldridge contrived to possess her self of half-a-crown to get some liquor with, and never returned, the other deceased following her. The man subsequently meeting with them, threatened to expose them to their employer Mr. Newbety, the silk factor, in Exeter, if they did not immediately return him bis half crown. Not having sufficient to make up the required sum, the threat appeared to operate so powerfully upon their minds, that they went to the neighbouring chemist and purchased 3d. worth of arsenic, with which they re solved to destroy themselves. They then returned to work at the factory, and on leaving at night went to a public-house kept by a person named Taylor, where they mixed the poison in some cider and drank it. Oldridge died in dreadful agony on Wednesday, and Smith in twenty-four hourti after. Yesterday an inquest was held on the bodies Of the unfortunate women before Mr. Aberdeen, the coroner, at th e R e d Lion Inn, Ottery, when the jury, after several hours' deliberation, returned a verdict of Feb de see. Both bodies were interred late last night in the parish churchyard. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY.—BEDFORD, OCT. '3. —During the past week the greatest excitement has pre vailed in this town and the adjacent district, owing to the discovery of the body of a young man, named J. Lilley, a fishmonger, and native of Bedford, in a retired spot called Clapham-wood, the throat being frightfully cut, so as to sever the windpipe, with a contused wound over the left eye, apparently the effect of a blow with some heavy weapon. The body was in a crouching posture, under a large tree, to which it had been attached by a handkerchief, the corner of which was torn off, the other end being tied to another handkerchief, which was around the neck of the deceased, and the folds of which were deeply embedded in the wound. Within a few yards of the spot a hat was picked up, and a knife stained with blued was found lying amongst the under• wood. The body was readily identified, and informa tion having been given to Mr. E. Eagles, the county coroner, a respectable jury was impannelled to inquire into the circumstances. The Coroner, in summing up the evidence, adverted. to the very suspici ous circum stances of the case ; and the jury, after a short con sultation, returned a verdict to the effect, "That the deceased Joseph Lilley was found dead in Clapham wood, with certain wounds, which the jurors are of opi nion were inflicted by the deceased himself, when in an unsound state of mind." MR. FoRBEST.—This gentleinan has returned to New York, where he is now playing a round of cha racters. The journals of that city describe the night pf his first appearance, after• his European tour, as being one of great excitement and enthusiasm-1 roving the extent of the estimation in which his histrionic talents are held by his countrymen. FUNERAL OF THE LATE W. T. D. TRENCHARD, ESQ.—The remains of the late William Trenchard Dillon Trenchard, Esq., of Lytchett House, in the county of Dorset, were consigned to the family vault in the parish church, on Thursday, the 24th Sept. The solemn pro cession left the family residence at twelve o'clock; in ad tion to his own relatives he was followed by his numerous tenantry. His loss v% ill be deeply felt by the poor of his neighbourhood. The deceased was the elch-st son of the late Rev, H. Luke Dillon, formerly rector of Lytchett Matravers, grandson of the late Lady Augusta Dillon,. and was nearly connected with the noble f a milies -of Clanricarde and Clanbrook. He will be sueceed,4 in the estates of _ Lytchett Matravers and Child Ok,ford by his next brother, Henry Luke Smith Dillon, Esq., who,, in obedience to the will of the late William Trenchard, Esq., will assume the name and quarter the arms of Trenchard with those of Dillon.—Sherburne Journal. • A MAN DESTROYED IN A FUlt S m ev o e s n t serious A th t e o'clock last Sunday raorn ouek ing an a and horrific description t - place at the New porteiNdAent C , E. 0 -7 works. T. Jones , one of the you ng men engaged as assistant filler, while throwing a h as k, t f u ll of cinders into the furnace, by some means or other overbalanced hi ms elf, and fell into the funnel of this heated crucible, and in about three minutes was entirely consumed. The materials in the furnace were not more than five feet below the level of the charging plate. The blast Has immediately thrown off ; yet, notwithstanding every effort to save the unfortunate sufferer, Lot a friigment of the body could be found. No person can state positively how it occurred ; but it is generally supposed that the basket must have caught in a portion of his clothes, or in one of the leather handcuffs, and that the sudden con cussion caused by throwing the basket of materials into the furnace, jerked him in. It is very remarkable how this family has been afflicted with accidents of a lament able description. The former husband of the mother was burnt to death from an explosion of liquid iron a one of the neighbouring works. The present husband, or father of the deceased lost an eye, and narrowly es caped a similar fate from a similar cause. Some Limo ago one of his brothers was most awfully burnt to death on a cinder tip ; and another brother had his foot burnt. — Monmouthshire Merlin. .FLAGRANT CASE OF SACRILEGE IN FRANCE.--- , We regret to have to announce a shameful instance of the depravity now but too common among our neigh bours across the channel.
