The theatre was crowded to suffixation. ANOTHER RAILWAY TERMINUS ROBBERY.-011 Friday information of the following daring railway terminus robbery was given to the police. Stolen, between eight o'clock on Sunday morning andone o'clock on Monday after noon, from the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway, the property of Messrs. Ballance and Son, of Gutter lane, Cheapside, a bale of orgazine silk, weighing one and a quarter cwt. The bale was directed to Messrs. Ballance and Son, Gutter-lane, and is valued at 2001. FATAL ACCIDENT IN A TIMBER YARD.—On Fri day Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest in Middlesex Hos pital, on the body of Henry Barnes, aged 42, foreman to Mr. Escott, timber merchant, 336, Oxford-street. The deceased. with another man, named Goddard, were removing timber when some logs that were piled over each other, near where they were working, gave way, and one of them, sixteen inches square and twenty three feet long, fell upon the two men, and fractured the leg of deceased, and also fractured the leg of his fellow workman. Both were released as quickly as possible, and removed to the Middlesex Hospital, where Barnes died on the 23d ult., six days after his admission. Verdict, "Accidental death." Goddard is in a fair way of recovery. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN PYALL.-011 Fri day afternoon, between three and four o'clock, a serious acci • dent occurred in Hyde Park to Captain Pyall, a gentleman between fifty and sixty years, residing in Oxford-terrace, Oxford-square, Edgware-road. He was riding a spirited horse round the carriage-drive in Hyde Park, and on arriving opposite Kensington-gardens the horse became restive, and shied suddenly against the wood railing, by which Captain Pyall was thrown with great violence to the ground, his foot hanging in the stirrup. The groom, observing the perilous situation of his master, rode up and secured the horse at the instant he was getting off into a gallop, and Captain Pyall was fortunately released. The fall caused some severe bruises on the head, but he was able to walk home. ANOTHER JEREMY DIDDLER.—A person with a remarkably large head, professing to be a poet and school master from the neighbourhood of Welby, near Grantham, has been enjoying himself for the last three weeks at the ex pense of the landlord of the Crown Inn, Stamford, but, having it is supposed the fear of the worthy host's bill before his eyes, thought fit on Friday last to make a hasty retreat, leaving behind him a few paltry articles not worth one third the amount of his bill, which he tried to dispose of during his stay. The gentleman stated his intention of attending the Stamfiad Dorcas Rill, but we suppose he has by this time thought better of that. He was accompanied by a female, who stated herself to be his sister. It is thought they are now in the neighbourhood of Lincoln, where no doubt they will endeavour to adopt the same system.—Lin colnshire Chrtmicle. THE LATE EARL OF PORTARLINGTON.—In our notice on Friday of the mi , itary services of Lord Portarling ton some surprise was expressed that a man of his rank should have been so long in the army, and so often actively engaged without being promoted to the rank of a general officer. The circumstance is thus accounted for by a cor respondent. On the eve of the battle of Waterloo his Lordship, accompanied by an orderly left his regiment at bivouack and proceeded to a neighbouring farm-house to sleep. The orderly forgot to call the Noble Earl at the ap pointed hour in the morning, and when his Lordship at• tempted to rejoin his regiment, the ashes of the fire alone marked the scene of their late encampment. Arriving at Waterloo, the Noble Earl found his regiment (the 23d Dragoons) already in action ; and being unable to join them, he attached himself to the first Eng lish dragoon regiment he met, and fought with great bravery thoughout the remainder of the day. After the battle, the Noble Earl had an interview with the Duke of Wellington, fur the purpose of explaining his absence from his regiment. The Duke is stated to have informed the Noble Earl that nothing but his gallantry in the field had saved him from being tried by a court-martial at the same time advising his Lordship at once to retire from the a-ny, a recommendation which, it need scarcely be I added, Lord Portarlington immediately acted upon. TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.—Four handsome bude lights have lately been erected at the corners of the square. They have not, however, yet been lighted, as with the singular fatality attendant upon everything connected with the square, there is a dispute about lighting between the Com missioners of Woods and Forests, and the parish of St. Martin THE SMALLEST VESSEL IN THE AFRICAN TRADE —A few weeks ago, the smallest vessel that ever cleared out of the Clyde for an Atlantic voyage, measuring only twelve tons N.M.. left the river with a general cargo to Cape Coast Castle. This yacht was built at Port Ban aatyne, in Buteshire, and was intended for pleasure ex cursions alone. Her sailing qualities were well known during the time when she belonged to the gentleman for hom and by whose directions she was built, and they who attracted the in this tofcountry last an nAfr s i u c m a 7 mer, and by whom the yacht was purchased for merchant the river trade in that country. He determined on send ing her out with goods; and so confident is he in the ca pabilities of his little ship, that he has arranged to join her at Madeira. The gentleman to whom she now be- longs has given her the name of the Ocean Queen ; and when she has reached Cape Coast Castle in safety, the name will have been well earned ; for never surely pre viously has a smaller craft navigated a sea so wide and dangerous. The Ocean Queen is, however, a strongly built and well-contrived little thing ; and no doubt is entertained by her owner that she will have a prosper ous voyage, although it has been retarded at the com mencement; for she met a Channtl storm to begin with, but weathered it more gallantly than heavier ships, al though the master, from indisposition, was obliged to put into Donaghadee, on the %Vest Coast. We do not know what the underwriters may say to this risk, but the crew and the owner are coNtident of succ ss ; and they have, looking to the tonnage of their craft, under taken the most daring feat in navigation of which we remember to have heard since the days of Columbus.— Glasgow Notional. SENTENCE OF TRANSPORTATION.-.—A striking stance of the difference of feeling with which pnsoners re ceive sentence of transportation occurred at the Leeds Borough Sessions, on Wednesday last. The Deputy-Recorder sentenced three females to seven years' transportation. One of the three was deeply affected, while the other two, on hear ing their doom, manifested rapturous delight, one of them thanking the Learned Genth man for affording her an oppor tunity of getting a black husband, and the other, with a smiting countenance, exclaiming, " I shall get a long ride for nothing, and I hope your honour will sit there till I come back again."

LITERA T U RE. THE OLD HALL; v OUR HEARTH AND .),11 S IRA D. By John Mitts 3 Vols. _ _ Mr. John Mills is well known to the lovers of the chase, and all who take interest ir. good old English sports. His rea.iers might embrace a yet wider circle, for the genuine tone kindly feeling, the homely pathos, and unaffected sincerity that pervade his writings, are well calculated to find favour with the multitude. Holding the rank of sporting novels, his works atiound in admirable sketches of country I lite, but they have another and a higher recom'men , dation ; they appeal to some of the deepest senti ments of the heart, they tend to strengthen the do mestic affections, and increase the happiness of home, pourtraying it in its natural character, as the centre of all comfort, the empire of love and kindness. The " Old Hall," bears great resemblance to the " Old English Gentleman ;" some of the characters are very similar, but we are glad to see them again, and wel come them as old friends. We have here another example of the old country squire—the delight of his friends, and the father of the poor; we have the same perfect delineations of huntsmen and whippers-in, though we do not find an equal to Tom Bolton; the same idea of an old country house, the scene of hospitality and kindness ; a capital illustration of warm-hearted simplicity, in the person of honest John Hardy ; a very good likeness of sweet Mistress Caadle, and numerous minor characters, all interesting from their close adherence to nature. The whole narrative con tains many stirring anecdotes of the chase, and accounts of sporting of every description, written with great vigour and minuteness, full of variety and amusement. To the lovers of the country this work will be invaluable, while the inhabitants of town may find a refreshing change in contemplating occupations so different from their own. Before quitting this sub ject we must observe, Mr. Mills makes some remarks about taking farewell of his readers : if such be his intention, may it be like the farewell of a successful actor, repeated over and over again, "always ending, still beginning." We hope soon to meet him again "in the field ;" en attendant, if he pleases, we will wish him farewell. THE EVENTFUL I' PO CH. A Novel, by Nicholas Michell. 3 Vols. This work does ample justice to its title ; it refers, indeed, to an eventful epoch—the period of the French Revolution : that great struggle forms the basis of the story, but we find little concerning France, the author's object being to pourtray the feelings of the English during that momentous period, and in this he has been very successful. Truly was that an eventful epoch for England as well as France; every breeze that crossed the Channel came char g ed with the aspirations of liberty; the English people felt the magic. of the spell, the sentiments of freedom found an echo in their hearts ; the cruel ex cesses to which fury drove the French, checked their sympathies to a great degree, yet was the lesson not in vain—the people felt their power, and if they forbore rrom using it, the very consciousness made them resist oppression, and warned their rulers of the danger of arbitrary legislation. The author of the work before us is evidently a high Tory, an entire enemy to the whole revolution ; anxious to manifest hi• antipathy to the republican clubs formed in England on the model of the French, he yet pauses to do justice to individual partizans, and introduces us to a very interesting character, Walter Pellew, a youth of ardent temperament, hitherto devoted to literature ; burning with the love of freedom, the im petuosity of his nature urges him to the extreme; willing to be a martyr to the cause he loves so well, he scorns the calmer wisdom of sober-minded friends —his whole soul is engrossed with one idea. The history of this patriotic rebel and his fond, devoted wife, forms a most interesting portion of the work. The whole story is full of variety, well calculated to please the general reader. The hero, Archer Clive, is a youth of noble family, and high promise ; he enters Parliament at an early age, and excites atten tion by an admirable speech on the slave-trade in support of Mr. Wilberforce, and this at a time when such conduct was deemed insane. Being deprived of his fortune, he proceeds to study the law with great patience and fortitude, and when he gains "his own" he displays extraordinary generosity towards his enemies. Such is an outline of the "fortunes of Archer Clive," a brief sketch of a very interesting story, written with a considerable degree of spirit, and interwoven with many passages of fine feeling and tenderness. It is enlivened by passing glimpses of the great men of the day, more especially Edmund Burke, whom the hero meets, without knowing, in a stage •coach, be ginning the acquaintance by praising his remarks on the French Revolution, no doubt to the great delight of the unsuspected author. Interesting as a work of fiction, these volumes are also valuable as serving to illustrate a period of modern English history rarely celebrated by the pen of the novelist. The various characters are pourtrayed with great force and vigour —that of the heroine is of peculiar beauty. WISE SAWS AND MODERN IZS'STANCES. 2 Vols. By Thomas Cooper. The author of these two little volumes has already proved himself to be a poet of no ordinary capacities, by the publication of a prison rhyme, entitled "The Purgatory of Suicides ; " he now, however, advances his claim to consideration as a writer of prose fictions. Some of the most admirable productions in our native literature have been germinated amidst scenes which to the unphilosophical mind were apparently of an ungenial or dispiriting character, and men have occa sionally called into being works breathing purity and dignity in every line, while they themselves have been encompassed by debasing and degrading influences Thus, in his dungeon, did the Earl of Surrey permit his imagination to wanton in an idealizing and unfet tered liberty ; thus Burns, at the ploughshare, wove his day-dre ams into verse, and wrought himself a dwelling-place for ever in futurity ; thus, when a pri soner, did Sir Walter Raleigh chronicle the occur rences of bygone times; and thus, in a thousand other instances, has the human intellect risen above the force of circumstances scatheless and uncramped. What ever may be the predominating bias of a man, whether it be for action or for thought, that bias will ever find a means of accomplishing its purpose; once implanted in our nature, it can never lie dormant, its course is indomitable. The bias of Thomas Cooper is— that he must write; it appears to be his " other self," a kind of second nature; its commands are imperative to him, and these commands could not be gainsa:, ed even by the walls of Stafford gaol during his " confinement for conspiracy." In issuing his " Purgatory of Suicides" to the world, be acted well, for it bears the impress of a generous heart and a copious fancy ; in publishing his present work, " Wise Saws and Modern Instances," we think with all deference to himself, that he has acted somewhat rashly and unwisely. Nature has gifted him, and that abundantly, with all the exigencies and qualifi cations of a poet, hut in aiming at another sphere in literature, as in the present instance, we conceive he has outstepped the dictates of prudence. That he has an observant eye, and no mean perception of the various phases of character in his fellow man, is evinced by several passages in the volumes before us; for example, in the papers headed " Raven Dick, the Poa :her; or, Who Scratched the Bull," and "The Intellectual Lever that lacked a Fulcrum ;" but that he possesses the capability of adequately pourtraying these phases of society is not at all to be deduced from their pages. In speaking of Charles Dickens, the Quarterly Review, some years back, very justly remarked that his delineations of low life are never vulgar, but are, on the contrary, fraught with ex treme grace and elegance; this praise, however, can not be awarded to the delineations of the humbler classes, as given by Mr. Cooper in these three-and twenty sketches. They retain throughout an over tincture of the subject which is being described; they clothe themselves in a palpable lowliness of metaphor, and a strange poverty of language. Besides these very glaring defects on the part of our author, he hss acquired another of a far more incorrigible and in excusable nature : in attempting to endue his descrip tions with that air of " naturalness" to which in his preface he ostensibly aspires, all the common-places and slang phrases in vogue now-a-days among the uneducated are interlarded with almost every other sentence. Of this intolerable blemish we will give a few instances : " The company was large, well-dressed, and from the bang-up appearance of the numerous leather port manteaus," &c. " A change of neat suits was purchased (for the lad was too sensible to be fooled into the hichshaw dandy habits which the Cockney recommended"), & e , " Commercial gentlem. n , even at the first-rate cora. mercial inns, don't cut it quite so fat," & c . Mr. Mortimer was completely flum muxe d an d flab beigasted ; or, as Jonathan would say, he was stuck al of a heap," &c. " li, tact, the man he could plainly see was up to snuff," &c. " But, lackadaisy I the young ladies thumped and rattled till Dig," &c. These are but a few of the obnoxious vulgarisms, selected at random, and constitute a blemish in the work that it would require a very considerable pro portion of beauties to obliterate, In all future pro ductions we would rec“mittend Mr. Cooper to avoid such meretricious and mistaken efforts at " natural ness," seeing that they more partn•ularly, than any thing else, render his present work a failure. As a poet he has already e xcited the admiration and regard of his readers, but he has not as yet advanced any sterling claims to popularity as a prose writer. a large number of snipes visited the outskirts of the SNIPES NEAR LONDON.---During metropoli , , which circumstance indicates approaching frost. the last fortnight Stvcral of these birds have been shot in Battersea-fields and on Wandsworth-common.

WHITE, DIRECT FROM OREGON-UNPRECEDENTED DISPATCH - THROUGH IN NINETY DAYS. We had the pleasure, on Saturday evening last, of taking by the hand our old friend Dr. Elijah White, sub-agent of Indian affairs for the territory of Oregon, who had just arrived with a party of only three men, Messrs. Chapman, Brown, and Saxton, all claiming to p an re ci vi C o ll u a s r ly les c S m ax a t n on in h te a r d es a t cc in o g m a p n a d nie i n a l h p i o m r t or be citizens o f Will ame t te, two o f w h om, Oras Brown s e o x m p e l time ring expedition, the results of which will soon come before the public officially. They left the beach of the Pacific on the 30th of July, some 40 miles from the Umqua river, and arrived in the colony about the 10th of August. They found the Legislature in session at Oregon city, and Dr. White being officially requested to bear a memorial and peti tion emanating from that body and signed unanimously by them, also by the judge of the territory and executive committee—to the Congress of the United States, left on the 16th. They arrived at Fort Vancouver on the 17th, the Danes of the Columbia on the 20th, and on the 23d proceeded on their journey. At the first camp, Major Moses Harri, alias " Black Harris," his pilot and his dependence, as interpreter for the Sioux and Pawnee lndians in p ass i ng th rough the i r country, without any difference or explanation, withdrew from the party and intimidated, to the v a ll ey. Sur prised, but nothing they moved forward. They met the Wallawall Indians—so much excited the spring before, by reason of the violent and trea cherous death of Elija Heading, an educated young chief of distinction, killed by a white man in California— and were handsomely saluted and most cordially re ceived—the excitement having entirely subsided. Corn, potatoes, peas, camas, and cherries, were brought forward for the consumption of the party, and their plantations, with those of the Keyuse, speak well for their advancement in agriculture and civilisation. Not many of the Wallawallahs cultivate; they generally sub sist on fish. But the Keyuse and Nezperces, or Schep tans, under the auspices of Dr. Whitman and lady, and Rev. H. H. Spaulding and lady, aro represented as having made most commendable advance in agriculture, science, arts, morals, and religion ; many of the latter reading their own language fluently and writing well, and in the regularity of their family devotions and ob servance of the Sabbath, it is believed few equal them. On the Ist of September they met at Burnt River Captains Barlow, Knighton, and Macdonald's companies of emigrants, the three companies comprising some eight hundred persons, with eighty-seven waggons, within some three hundred and fifty miles of their desti nation. all in good health and fine spirits, representing the difficulties of the route as nothing in comparison with what they had expected. While the Doctor was giving them an intellectual treat, to which all listened with indescribable interest, some of the ladies prepared a rich repast for him and his little party; coffee, sugar, bread, biscuit, buttermilk, and honey, with bacon, rice, and several kinds of dried fruits, were nicely spread out ; they ate and drank, talked, and mutually cheered each other, and parted in the happiest tivad. At different points, for a distance of a hundred and thirty miles, they met others—each party soliciting, they all received a lecture on Oregon. The last party, called the St. Joseph Company, were met on Snake River, camped disadvantageously, being some two and-a-half miles from wood or water on the sandy desert ; but they found them in good spirits, and after advising them at sere length on Oregon, the party was invited to dinner, and sat down to a table in the tent of the Reverend M. Fisher, a Baptist clergyman, spread with a white cloth, and partook of tea, light bread, crackers, maple molasses, dried beef, and butter, all prepared in the neatest manner. This com pany were mostly New England people, had emigrated ; to lowa and thence to Oregon, and carried their virtues and intelligence over the mountains with them. All much hapi.ier and better for the interview, the party took their leave of this interesting group of venerable sires, aged matrons, and smiling 3 outh, and passed on to Fort Hall, where they arrived on the 19th of Sep tember, and met a cordial reception from Captain Grant. On the 23d they passed the romantic and interesting soda springs. were ail drank freely. On the 27th met Dr. Joseph Burk, botanist and mine ralogist, sent out by the English Government to make collections, and return in seven years from the time of his departure—dined with him—found him an intelligent, unassuming gentleman. The party passed the divide on the 4th of October, all walking over it, and on striking the sweet water, all drank, not a little pleased to behold the water once more running into the Atlantic. On the 13th of October, came in sight of a large Sioux village of some 300 lodges, and containing 2,000 souls—went immedi ately to it—were met by several chiefs, and the party con ducted by them to the Soldier's-lodge, where they feasted on the choicest buffalo meat. Dr. White exchanged a horse with a chief, at the Indian's request, and left, after tarrying two hours, the party being as much pleased with their reception as the Indians appeared to be in entertaining them. They encamped three miles below the village, horses unmolested and nothing missed. Next day met Smoke, a notable chief, and 200 Indians with him, moving up to the large village which they had passed—exchanged the usual salutations of the day, and all went off most agreeably. On the 15th reached Fort Laramie, where the party were hos pitably entertained, as at Fort Hall, by Mr. Pepin. Left on the 16th, having purchased a sufficient supply of dried buffalo meat and flour, with groceries, to last to Independence, intending to accomplish the journey with all possible expedition, and not to stop to kill game. On the 17th met eight or nine ox teams, heavily loaded with goods for trading with the Indians, in charge of Captain Finch, who had a trading post seven miles below Fort Laramie, on the Platte. On the 18th met Mr. Spane—had also several teams loaded with goods for trading with the Sioux ; he had buried his partner the day previous, having died of a nervous fever. On the 29th, met two men on an express to Fort Laramie from the American Fur Company at St. Louis. They told the Doctor he would probably meet the Paw nee Indians before leaving the Platte, and if be did, that they would rob him and his party. On the 31st, at about eleven o'clock, the Doctor, riding in front of the party to keep a look out for the Paw nees, discovered a large smoke a head, halted, adjusted the pack animals, and then went cautiously on again ; proceeded a few miles, when a horse was discovered three or four miles a-head, tied, and apparently uneasy. The patty were now convinced that the Pawnees were not far off; halted again, and each man examined his fire-arms. The doctor proposed to leave the road and go into the hills, and to keep on travelling all night to avoid coming in contact with Indians, whose character was that of highway robbers. They did so, and pro ceeded four or five miles in the direction of the hills, when three Indians were seen in front of them, advancing; the party went on a short distance, and twelve or fifteen came up to them. The Doctor made signs to them to keep away, and that he was in great haste to go on, but they all came up; when the Doctor stopped, requested Saxton to get off his horse and open a pack, get some tobacco and give them; he did so, and gave them all there was; mounted his horse again, when one of the pack horses took fright at the Indians, and ran with great violence, but was at last caught by Chapman and Saxton, and the pack adjusted by them, ready to go on again. But an Indian, who had been very impudent and saucy, now came to Chapman and asked him for p ;wder ; he refused to give him any, when the rascally Indian cocked his gun. At the suggestion of the Doctor, Chapman gave him some powder and he went off ; but while the Doctor was talking to Chapman six or seven had surrounded him, and two had his horse by the bridle, when he asked Brown to come to him. Brown did so, presenting his pistol at one of them, and the Doctor motioning to them at the same time, with his six-shooter in his hand, to be off, they left, and the party collected their animals and started again towards the hills, where a large Pawnee village, of some three hundred lodges, appeared in sight, several miles from the road. As the Indians left the party they fired three times at them, and the shot fell thickly around Brown—the Indians going towards the village, and the party from it, over the hills. When out of sight of the Indians and the village, the party again halted, filled their powder-horns and took a good quantity of balls in their pouches, and went on again ; but they had scarcely started, when two Indians were seen coming from to wards the village over the hills. Soon another, and another appeared in sight, each coming from different directions ; and in ten minutes from the time the first two appeared in sight, the party were completely surrounded by two or three hundred men, armed with rifles, muskets, bows and arrows, tomahawks, and war clubs, while the air resounded with the awful war-whoop as they still continued to dash upon them on their fleet horses. Seeing that four could do nothing by firing on such numbers, the Doctor told the party not to fire, while the Indians were in great confusion among them selves. The first who came talked loud and boisterous, and began to catch the pack-horses, when it was pro posed to go with them to the village. In the meantime all was confusion, some snatching a rifle from one, while another caught a blanket from an other, and ran off. Saxton first got under way, follow ing his packed horse, having many valuable papers, and surrounded by some twenty Indians. They soon stripp er him of his powder-horn and his horse and saddle, imbareis horsewh ile-back, by a brave, w ith a large an d battle-axe,put h led ht h e bridle. Brown followed Saxton in a similar manner , p assed him, and was the first to grace their fi endish trium p h as they entered their villages in full g allo p . The Doctor was next suffered to start towards the vil lage, but not until they had torn h is coat into pieces, and h stripped him of his vest. One I n dian then struck him a blow with his bow on th e ri g ht ch eek; another hit him two blows on the top of the head with a war club, which nearly deprived him of his senses. With nothing left but his flannel shirt and pantaloons, he passed Sax ton soon after Brown, with a brave leading his horse, and a chief riding behind him, embracing him in his arms. Chapman followed immediately after Brown ; they struck him several times as he was riding; he was hurried along and taken into the village. The Doctor I was last on the ground, and was conducted into the lodge of a chief, but not permitted to converse with any of his party ; the rest of the men were conducted to separate lodges, and treated in a similar manner. the party were led several times during the evening on boiled corn, at different lodges, accompanied by an Indian, but were not permitted to be together, except about ten minutes at a time. The first impression made upon the Doctor and all the party on entering the lodges was, that the chief would cause most of the property to be given back, but before morning all were convinced to the contrary, by having their packs opened and pillaged of everything of value; not even letters to people in the States were omitted. Dr. White lost many of his mostvalu able papers, and some twenty letters, though he mailed at this place 541, to various persons in the Union. After rob bing the party of all their provisions and clothing, as well • as horses, in the morning several squaws, true to the • character of women, put up some corn, and the chiefs who were at the head of the outrage brought forward several poor, lame ponies and ;mules, and gave each man a few old garments, scarcely enough to cover him, much less to protect him from the inclement season. A little after sunset they told them to be off, pointing over the hills where they were taken prisoners. In the lodge where Saxton stopped during the night, while Brown was with him a few moments, an old chief came in with a large package of papers, evidently robbed from some individual, but he would not suffer him to read any of them except the wrapper, which was of the kind of paper used for envelopes in the War Department, and directed on the envelope :—" Tangawanga, Chief of the Otto Nation." The Indian then opened the package, and took out a passport from the United States, and a large paper having ten or twelve seals on it, opposite to which were many signatures, a large paper resembling a decd, and a French passport; he then folded them all up, after pointing to the coat of arms on each, but would not suffer them to be investigated; putting them all into the envelope, laid them under his thigh, gave a con temptuous laugh, and soon left the lodge. The party travelled till one o'clock at night without a drop of water, on the day they left the village on the open prairie, taking as their guide the north star, and going in an easterly direction. The Doctor was very much indisposed, owing to the violent blows he had received. Soon after the party were out of sight of the village, the smoke behind told them that their enemies had fired the prairie, and all that day the wind drove the fire hard upon the party, and at night the flames of the tall grass were seen behind them mingling with the horizon, giving it the appearance of an ocean of fire. One of the party kept watch while the others slept, or rather dozed. Next morning, taking a bite of raw corn, they continued theircourse north-east; the party and poor animals suffer ing extreme want of water. About ten o'clock they found a stagnant pool, where all the party were once more sensible of the watchful care of Divine Providence.Tbey continued on in the deep direction till three o'clock, when the party struck a ravine and began to follow it, but they had only proceeded a short distance when the Doctor disco covered two Indians far in the distance to the south-east; the parties stopped, concealed themselves in the ravine, Brown crept to the bank to watch their movements—the Indians advanced a little, then also stopped. The Doc tor then prepared to retreat and change the course of travel, and the party readily complied with his sugges tion, went up the ravine some distance, took a sout h er l y direction, and travelled come six miles, when they struck a small creek, kept their course still towards the south, and just at dark struck the Oregon road, to the great joy of all the party. Th e y th en enca mped that night at twelve o'clock on the Republican Fork, again eating raw corn for supper. On the 3d of November they considered themselves nearly out of reach of the Pawnees, being fifty miles from their village. They arrived at the bank of the Big Blue on the evening of the 7th, when, on enter ing the tall forest trees, by the light of the moon, a large flock of tnrkeys were heard among the branches. All were excited with pleasing anticipations of once more tasting something palatable, as the corn, in whatever state it was taken, for several days had soured on the stomach of the men, and they ate it only to keep them from starving. The next morning Brown's well-directed rifle brought a fat turkey to the ground. After the turkey was dispatched, they re turned to the corn again, as the Indians gave them only two rifles having percussion locks, with no more am munition, and the other rifle was unloaded to strike fire with the powder. On the evening of the 13th they ate the first meal in the house of Mr. Charles Fish, quickly prepared by his lady, residing among the Shawneee Indians, thirty miles from the United States line. The Doctor left the Willamette colony in a very flou rishing sate, and is of opinion that Oregon, at no dis tant day, will rival many of the Atlantic States in agri culture, science, and the arts.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-At this moment, when numerous industrious artisans are disturbed with apprehensions arising out of the proclaimed intentions of the Government, in refer ence to the militia to be called out and embodied, it may not be amiss, perhaps, to suggest a mode of reliev ing many of those who may not otherwise be- able to obtain for themselves substitutes; and more particularly, if its adoption will convert to a " tower of strength" what is now an incubus upon the country. _ It is a fact, the evidence of which may be collected at any time by the not over-worked rural police, at the multitudinous nightly gatherings in all the " cadger," or low lodging-houses, of the kingdom, that there are rainy thousands of able•bodied men, neither gentle nor sim ple, too idle " to work," but not too proud " to beg," to say nothing worse of them ; aryl to take up whom, by some forcible persuasion, constraining them to become of some service to their country, would be to confer a boon on themselves, raising them from idleness and disgrace to comparative usefulness and honour, and at the same time relieve useful members of society from the neces sity of leaving their homes and occupations, and meet equally the necessities of our common fatherland. I am, Sir, yours faithfully, • RICHARD HARRISON• Redditch, Jan. 2, 1846. MANNING THE NAVY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-In your evening paper of yesterday there is an able article on the subject of manning the navy. P ray take it into your consideration how desirable it would be to make use of an enormous, though useless force, at present in existence—the preventive force. Every Par liamentary inquiry has shown the absurdity and impos sibility of their preventing smuggling, and they cost the countryfully one million per annum ; remember, also, that when the abominable corn laws aro gone, the land owners will be sure to require the extinction of this monstrosity.—Your obedient servant, Jan. 2, 1846. vox. CROMART Y A HARBOUR OF REFUGE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Public attention being at present directed to the formation of harbours of refuge for the protection of our shipping, whilst our fleets should be maintain ing our naval superiority on the ocean, and it being highly desirable, in the event of our being involved in a war with the United States of America, that our Government should put forth all its energies to bring the contest to a speedy and honourable conclusion, I beg to mention, through the medium of yonr valuable paper, that the Bay of Cromarty, the Portus Salutis of the Romans, and the point to which the h)rdes of the Scandinavian race shaped their course when meditating hostile incursions on the coast of Scot land, might easily, and at a comparatively small expense, be made a most important position for the protection of our mercantile marine, and a point from which we could destroy the cruisers of the enemy acting against our commerce ; and it would also, from its position opposite to the Baltic, form an admirable station for the establishing of dockyards for the building and re pairing of ships, and forming magazines of naval stores. The entrance to the Bay of Cromarty is a narrow channel of deep water, protected on each side by the heights of the " Souters of Cromarty." Within this channel hundreds of ships can ride at anchor in safety from the severest storms ; and if the heights of the Souters were fortified, and batteries placed on the water's edge, the entrance to the Bay would be in accessible to an enemy, whilst we could, in less than two hours, send frigates from it to the mouth of the Caledonian canal, from whence they would, in less than two days, find themselves on the coast of Ireland, to meet our enemies in that quarter; or our fleets of men-of-war and merchantmen could proceed in an op polite direction, and taking advantage of wind and tide, pass through the Pentland Firth, in the direct course to North America, in a shorter time than it would take them to proceed to Ireland. Jan. 1, 1845. A LOOKER-ON. NAVIGATION COMMITTEE AND THE WATERMAN'S STEAM-PACKET COM PANY. TO TAE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—ln the police j report of p rocee di ngs at th e Man sion-house in your journal of this day appears a letter from Messrs. Clarke and Cooper, the respectable solicitors of the Watermen's and Lightermen's Company, stating that that Company was in no way connected with or parties to the proceedings of the Waterman's Steam packet Company ; and my Lord Mayor is also reported to have stated, with all the weight attached to his ma gisterial office—first, that he thought it right to let the public know that the poor watermen, in whose behalf numerous appeals had been made to their sympathies as being connected with and deriving profit from the Wa terman's Steam-packet Company, had nothing to do a ith that Company, and derived no advantage whatever from it. Secondly, that nobody had any benefit from it with the exception of the individuals who had been able to purchase shares in the speculotion. Without commenting on the serious charges involved in these assertions, I beg to state, in answt r to the last statement of his Lordship, that the Waterman's Steam packet Company gas established, in the first instance, by free watermen at Woolwich, for the benefit of the working watermen, assisted by the aid of philanthropic parties, three of whom are still the trustees of. and shareholders in, the Company, and members of the Court of the Watermen's and Lightermen's Company, and that one-half the present shareholders in the Waterman's Steam-packet Company are members of the Watermen's r and Lightermen's Company. That the public may judge of the justice of his Lord ship's first assertion, and form its own opinion how far his Lordship has been misled by information given to him, I further beg to state that the Waterman's Steam packet Company has contributed towards the Water men's and Lightermen's Almshouses for decayed mem bers, of which Messrs. Clark and Cooper are secretaries, the sum of 1571. 10s., by votes at annual meetings. That since the recent period of the formation of the Company it has paid to the free working watermen at the several public stairs undermentioned, for the accom modation of landing and embarking at floating piers belonging to these poor men, the following sums : To the free watermen at Garden-stairs, Greenwich, in five years, 4,7001. At Bellwater-gate-stairs, Woolwich, in five years, 4,6001. At Blackwall-stairs, in three years, 450/. At Limehouse-hole-stairs, in two years, 5002 At Execution Dock. stairs, Wapping, i n one y ear , 4301. At the stairs, Blackfriars.bridge, in two years, 800/. At the Adelphi-stairs, in five years, 1,800/ ; end At the stairs, Westminster-bridge, in two years, 5001., making together a total of 13,7891. The Directors of the Waterman's Steam-packet Com pany are as anxious as any one that the Company should not be identified with any Company under the authority of the Corporation of London or the Navigation Com mittee. The title of the two Companies is entirely dis tinct, and the letter Messrs. Clarke and Cooper have been instructed to write is uncalled for and ungenerous. A crusade against the poor watermen at the various public stairs for erecting floating piers has long existed, and had these poor men been assisted b; the aid of the Watermen's and Lightermen's Company in maintaining their birthright of landing and embarking the public at the ancient stairs, from the present improved mode of conveyance on the river, it is apparent from the fore going facts that a revenue sufficient to maintain these poor men would have been derived which would have enabled them to live without resort to the workhouse or appeals to the sympathy of the public, or at least would materially have mitigated their present distress. The erection of the Corporation Pier at Blackfriars bridge deprives the watermen at the public stairs of an income of at lea -t 400. 1 . per annum from this Company alone, and I trust the rights of these poor men will be considered by her Majesty's Government in the next session of Parliament. Jan. 2, 1846. J. S. NEWBON, Secretary. TOBACCO. The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury having had under their consideration a memorial from an eminent house, importers of tobacco, praying that all leaf tobacco, or tobacco in an unmanufactured state, may be allowed to be imported from the United States of America into this country, in packages of the same weight in which the same description can be legally im ported from the place of its growth; the Commissioners of the Customs have received a letter from Mr. Card. well, one of the secretaries to the Lords of the Treasury, stating that he has been commanded by their Lordships to authorise the Board to give directions for a oomph ance with the request, and that he was further authorised to direct that the requisite alteration may be made in the law in the next Customs' Amendment Act, for allowing tobacco, the produce of Mexico, South America, or the islands of St. Domingo and Cuba, to be imported into the United Kingdom in bales containing SOlbs. weight each from any place from which it may be legally im ported for home use. He was likewise further desired to authorise them, pending the alteration of the law, to give directions for the admission of the said u bacco, in packages of the size proposed, as recommended by them. Their Lordships having also had under their considera tion a memorial from another party interested in the growth of tobacco at Trinidad, praying that tobacco, the produce of that island, may be allowed to be imported into this country in packages of the same size as thost, sanctioned for tobacco the produce of South America and St. Domingo, a further communication has been re ceived from Mr. Cardwell, stating that he has been com manded by their Lordships to authorise the Board to give directions for a compliance with the request in this matter as in the other alluded to. These several privi leges, which have been repeatedly prayed for and granted in special instances, in regard to the importation of tobacco, in anticipation of the alteration of the law, have been made general and communicated to the re venue officers of the various departments in London, and at the outports throughout the kingdom, for their infor mation and future government in the matter. The strict provisions of the law with respect to the importation of tobacco, except in packages of large size and weight, is in order to prevent the smuggling of the article, to which considerable likelihood attaches, owing to the heavy rate of duty leviable thereon. Tobacco could not hitherto be legally imported, being the produce of the islands men tioned, in South America, except in packages of a certain description, as well as weight, and it is deemed necessary to relax the strict provisions of the law in that particular in consequence of the difficulty of removing the tobacco from the place of growth to the port of shipment, unless in packages of a proportionably light-weighted and pli able description, it having to be carried on the backs of camels and other beasts of burden across an extensive tract of desert inlend country to the port of embarkation for shipment to its destination. WRECK. OF A. SCHOONER.—Very early on Satur day morning last, or some time during the night of Friday preceding, the wind then blowing a gale from the W.N.W., a schooner drove on shore at Norcot Mouth, about two mile, north of Bude, called the Anne, of St. Ives, Thomas, masters laden with copper ore for.: Swansea, from Devoran. There were five hands on board besides the captain, one of whom, wac, however, on the preceding day, thrown from the yard arm on the deck and killed on the spot ; and another man is now lying in a dangerous state at the Falcon Hotel, Bode, through having been dangerously crushed between the boat and masts of the vessel. All the rest of the crew were s aved, and the cargo is being discharged under the direction of Mr. John Hockin, merchant, of Bude.— West Briton. THE SCOTCH LOBSTER FISHING.—We have fre quently alluded to the rise and progress of the lobster fishing in and around the Western Highland Isles, an d noticed with pleasure the a nnual increase in this de partment of our fisher ies. As this s p ecies of shell fish has been now well asce rtained to be found i n a b un d ance on the coa st oa r n t d ae th H is eb ya r e id r es, many of th e C e l t i c fisher men have beta ken thems elves to this precarious branch of industry ; has added a vast number to t hose who have be en f ormer l y engaged in the lo b ster fishing. For some t i me past the produce exported to Liverpool has been immense, frequ:ntly from 40 to 50 boxes, of four dozen per box, weekly. IHE `FELLS IN TRAFALGAR -SQUARE.—The mains have been laid down from the engine-house and cisterns in Orange-street, to Buckingham Palace, the last pipes of which were laid down on Friday. Two fresh pumps, of eighteen inches diameter, have arrived at the works, to be used in consequence of the greater supply which will now be required, and one of which will furnish twice the present quantity. Since they have been first opened, the water has risen in the wells to an additional height of about five feet. INVISIBLE WRITING.—The plan of writing with rice water, to be rendered visible by the application of iodine, was practised with great success in the corre spondence with Jellalabad. The first letter of this kind received from thence was concealed in a quill. On opening it a small paper was unfolded, on which appeared only a single word " iodine." The magic liquid was applied, and an interesting dispatch from Sir Robert Sale stood forth.—United Service Magazine. While a gentleman was looking at the salmon essayit ' r to pass Powick weir the other day, his dog (a bitch of the Newfoundland breed) discovered a very curious magazine. She began scratching violently at a rat-hole situate under a beam at the extremity of the weir, and some couple of yards from the water, Guessing there was something extraordinary there, it was examined, when it was found to contain nineteen lampreys, all alive and in good order, which some fishermen insisted had been stored there by the rats. As the water had not reached the spot for a long time previous, the lam preys c!early had been carried there by some means, and the fishermen say that the rats are continually in the habit of robbing their putcheons.—Hereford Journal IN VISIBLE WRITING.—The plan of writing w i th rice water, to be rendered visible by the app lication of iodine, • was practised with great success in the corresponden ce wit h Jellalabad.

" DEAD DRUNK." --Air. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest yesterday in the Marylebone workhouse, on the body of Anne Pettyfor, aged forty- four, the wife of a sweep. Mr. Boyd, house surgeon to the infirmary, stated, that last Mon day she was brought in " dead drunk" from the stables of the Green Man, Edgware-road, where she had been, from the preceding evening, in a state of drunkenness. She was cold, insensible, and very rapidly sinking. Everything was done to restore her, but in vain, as she expired next day. lie ex amined the body after death. The brain and lungs were congested, and the stomach was spotted like a leopard's skin. Death ensued from excessive drinking. Deceased's husband said that his wife had been an inveterate gin -drinker, and that she was drunk for two successive days before her death. Verdict--" Death from drunkenness." &
