The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, the advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate ce4oar or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction •f gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its estrution of furniture, draperies, gd moulding /sc. ; these are ent d c irely obviated by the " PATENT oI UNIVERSAL , GAS ileasexa." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a goed-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the "Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, aro shown by the annexed authentie opinions of the qtalities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, SirJ oustßENNlE,President, in the Chair. " A gas burlier of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. Cite principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. the air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was hexed, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the cashuretted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, The as waa a flame was quite white down the top o f t h e burner, was very steady, where these burners hav e been ply demonstrated by the excellent liefit of th e I nst i tution, used In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of th e concentric ring burners, and trying th e power of the two lights ity the photometer, the new burner gave a bet t er gilt, with a Raving of rather more than one-third."

SACRILEGE, CLEVER DISCOVERY OF THE OFFENDERS. Llantillo Church, in Wales, was lately despoiled of a large portion of black cloth, with which the pulpit had been hung in consequence of the death of Mrs. Teddy. Mr. Blissett, the superintendent of the Ross police, was applied to to discover the offenders, and having engaged a person of the name of Lawrence to assist him, an in genious stratagem was put in execution. We quote the result from the Monmouthshire Adver tiser. Suspicion having attached, in the first instance, to a blacksmith, named Probert, Lawrence went to Lien tillo dressed as a b e ll-h anger, w i t h his basket of tools on his shoulder, to where he worked. He went into the smith's shop, and asked Probed to make him a pinch ; whilst this was being done, Lawrence offered to sell the smith a brown coat. Probert declined, and after some time, %Ton being pressed, he said he did not want any clothes, as he was !allying a suit of black made at Mr. Jones's, 'at Ragland. This was the precise clue Law rence wanted, and he soon afterwards proceeded to Mr. Jones's, the tailor, of that village. Of this person we think it right to say, that he has always borne an irre proachable character for honesty and industry. Upon arriving at Jones's, Lawrence asked the wife, and aft( r wards Jones himself, who entered the shop, if he could have a brown or a dark waistcoat made there. Jones said he had not any brown cloth, but he could make him a black waistcoat, for which he should charge 10s. To this Lawrence assented, and proffered sixpence to bind the bargain, saying he would call on another day for the vest, and pay the remaining 9s. 6d. He then asked for a pattern, which he took with - him, and thus successfully accomplished trap the second. Lawrence, with other parties, then compared the pattern with the black cloth remaining in the church, and it was found exactly to cor respond. Upon the following day he returned to Rag land, in company with Blissett, and producing a search warrant, they tock possession of the black cloth, still lying on the counter, and afterwards apprehended both Jones and Probert. Upon the policeman stating the nature of the charge, Jones stated that the cloth belonged to Probert, who in his absence had brought it and left it with his wife, for a suit of clothes to be made from, stating that he had bought it of a hawker for Bs. 6d. per yard. The other prisoners, John Jones, labourer, and Thos. Stead, were apprehended upon the confession of Jones himself, who stated to the Rev. Dr. Davis that Probert had devised the scheme of robbing the cloth, and had gone to the church on the Sunday (the 13th of Sep tember) for the purpose of contriving the best means of effecting their object. During the night, whilst Probert remained at home, Jones and Stead entered the church and took off their spoil, which the three worthies divided among them. After this confession, Jones accompanied Mr. Davis and others to a hayrick in an adjoining parish, on the top of which, covered with loose straw, a bundle of the cloth was lying. The stolen cloth of Probert's was upon the counter. The examination lasted several hours, and at its close all the prisoners were committed, but bail was immedi ately tendered for Mr. Jones, the tailor. THE LATE ELOPEMENT IN HIGH LIFE. -- The Gloucester Journal of Saturday says:—" The fugitives arrived in this city in a chaise and four at five o'clock on Saturday morning. Thence th e y p rocee d e d b y a special train, which had been ordered to be in readiness as early as three o'clock, to Birmingham ; beyond which we have no further knowledge of their route." THE ARMY AND NAVY CLUB.—On Saturday the preparations for the erection of the new Army and Navy Club, St. James's-square, commenced. Th e w h ole of the houses hl on one side of Ge, rge-street, as Hell as saveral 4n Pall-mall, are forthwith to be demolished, their sites being required for the new building. ROYAL VISIT TO ARUNDEL CASTLE.—W O are enabled to announce that her Majesty has signified her gracious in • tendon of honouring the Duke and D uc h ess of Norfolk with a visit during the present month, at their family residence, Arundel Castle. It will be re membered that the Noble Duke, in anticipation of a visit from his Sovereign, last year completed a variety of improvements, which up to that period were in pro gress at the castle, and also fitted up a suite of apart ments expressly for her Majesty's accommodation. Cir cumstances occurred about the time alluded to which had the effect of postponing the royal visit; but we be lieve we are correct in stating, that during the recent sojourn of the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk at Windsor Castle, her Majesty signified her intention of honouring their Graces with the promised visit at the earliest pos sible opportunity. We believe we are correcd in stating that the royal visit will take place some time in the en suing week.—Post. FAMINE IN ENGLAND IN 1316.—Several periods of great scarcity have occurred in England, but the most severe dearth that we find recorded was that which hap pened in 1316. It began to be severely felt in May, 1316, and proceeded to the utmost extremity until after the harvest in 1316. In July, 1316, the quarter of wheat rose to aos. (equal to 221. 10s.) and in August reached the enormous price of 405., or 301. the quarter. A loaf of coarse bread, which was scarcely sufficient to support a man for a single day, sold for fourpence, equal in value to ss. now. Wheat rose in Scotland at one time to the enormous sum of 100s.,equal to 751. the quarter of the present currency. This dearth continued, but with mitigated severity, until after the harvest of 1317 but great abundance returned in 1318. This famine oc casioned a prodigious mortality among the people, owing to the want of proper food and the unwholesome substi tutes. The rain set in so early in 1315, and continued so violently that most of the seed of that year perished in the ground ; the meadows were so inundated that the hay crop of that year was almost utterly destroyed.

TlMES.—Telegraphs end cannon have by this time informed the world that the Church of Atocha has wit nessed the double marriage of the two sisters of Spain. On one of these events we may at least offer our best wishes, if not our molt joyful congratulations, to the Spani,h people. Isabella 11. is united to a native Prince, Who brings in his train no elements of discord, and offers no stormy prospects as the price of his alliance. Don Fraucisco introduces no foreign influence to injure or 'insult the people of his country, his descendants will not bs liable to the jealous intervention of neighbouring Powers as the unlawful heirs of a forbidden birthright, nor will Spain be taught to regard them as debarred by right from a succession to which they are intro duced by blood. Far different is the. case with her Royal Highness the Infante. Her consort arrives amongst a people whose detestation of his pretensions can hardly be drowned in the purchased acclamations of noisy crowds well trained and carefully posted on his road. They see through the schemes of his family, and know the extent to which he is disqualified by solemn engagements for the position which he is ex pected to fill. Ho is either thrust upon them with a deep purpose or with none. If the latter, his intrusion is a gratuitous insult to the nation, endangering its re lations with friendly powers, which, less perhaps than any state in Eur o p e , i t can af f ord to per i l, an d creat i ng causeless suspicio ns an d empty discontent. If the former, Spain is c on d emne d to a perpetua l d rea d o f a detested influence, and to the reflection that the descent of her crown will entail war and bloodshed upon un known generations. The next heir to the Spanish crown is either disinherited, or she retains her inherit ance against the voice of public law and the decision of Europe. Why should the Spaniards have been compelled to see their Infanta reduced to such a strait ? What compensates her Royal Highness for her political loss cr her political attainder 2- Why should she contract a mars h ends t.lt.ts.:atui;lfication of her rights, great or , distant or approximate ? Why should she have been driven into such a mesa/hence? If, as the organs of the Chateau declare, it was a duty imperatively incumbent on France to see that at least such reward as Louis XIV. did reap by 20 years' expenditure of blood and treasure should be secured to his descendants--if such influence as France for the last century has con ceived herself to possess in Spain from the consan• guinity of the two royal lines, should be preserved by the rigorous exclusion of any princely interloper—even under all these conditions was it absolutely necessary that the equilibrium of Europe should be threatened, public faith sullied, amicable relations disturbed, a nation insulted, and a princess amerced of her expecta tions, to put such a security instantaneously beyond a doubt ? Was there any remote probability that the blood of Philip V. would be lost in a more northern current ? M. de Lamar tine has loudly proclaimed the utter impossibility of such an event, and shown how small a proportion the gain bears to the risk in the late stroke of Louis Philippe and his Cabinet. No interval of postponements, explanations, or manoeuvres could have damaged the legitimate connexion of the two Bourbon stocks, though it might have impeded the precipitate and unlawful schemes for their eventual fusion _ Louis Philippe has done the deed. He has done it quocunque mode—whether clumsily, as the French Opposition conceive, or dexterously, as M. de Lamar tine imagines, we shall not here discuss. If report speaks truly f the royal countenance, it would appear that he was prepared, as we have no doubt was the case, to encounter and neglect more forcible reinonstrances than it has been thought fit to interpose, and that he is delighted to find the cost fall so far below the estimate. He has got, at an expense which, perhaps, he may con sider reasonable, a prize which he was resolved to get at any expense whatever. ' The deliberations originally attending the project could hardly have been unaccom panied, we should imagine, either by the suggestions of conscience or the misgivings of doubt; but from the first overt act to the final entry of the French Princes it is clear that not a moment was to be allowed for reflec tion or hesitation either to himself or others. It was not probable that auy of the European Powers, though un consulted and over-reached, would interfere by imme diate violence to stop the marriage of a Princess of whom, as well as of the rights she conveyed, they were here ditary guardians. The times were not favourable to such coups de tonnerre. It was conceived that royal mar, riages had so far lost their influence and significance that in such matters one Court might circumvent another without any of those national explosions which are more immediately unpleasant than the protests of au outraged ally, or the consequences of a damaged character. What Louis Phillippe expected to result from his stroke may perhaps be inferred from his satisfaction at what has ac tually occurred. He is overjoyed that England has done no more than reiterate a solemn protest, and paint to treaties dishonourably infringed. He is rejoiced that the balance of European power, which apparently the Orleans dynasty can so securely neglect, is only seri ously threatened by the marriage of one his sods. He is delighted that nu, further tumult has occurred in the country on which he has imposed his progeny than the avowed discontent and turbulence of the whole popula tion, the apparition of an armed pretender to the Crown, and the jeopardy of that very throne, the reversion of which has lured th e F renc h ugustus into such unusual temerity. A Prince of honoured name and serious claims is about to raise his standard in Spain, availing himself of the detestation with which the coin pulsory policy of the Queen's Gofernment is viewed to divide the allegiance of the r.ation, and discreetly pro mising the preservation of those constitutional rights, and the fulfilment of those constitutional duties, in de fence of which his family was superseded. King Louis Philippe has given an opportunity to the Count de Montemolin of avowing such sentiments. He imperils the inheritance of a helpless family either for no cause whatever, or to secure its reversion to his own. lie in fringes the public law of Europe, in the preservation of which every monarch is interested alike. He estranges a friendly Power, and lowers the character of his Cabi net in every Christian Court ; and then the richest So vereign of the West is unable to dissemble his joy at having so cheaply secured a settlement for his fourth son. With what note in the French calendar will the 10th of October, 1846, be hereafter marked ? CHRONICLE.—To a su p er fi c i a l o bserver, the result of the revenue for the year ending on Saturday last, which we this day publish, will not appear flattering or even satisfactory, notwithstanding the slight increase of 88,246/. which it shows, compared with the year ending the 10th of October, 1845. The prominent fact on the face of this statement is, that the most important and permanent item of income—the Customs—exhibits a deficiency of no less than 501,6191., and that the small balance in favour of the year is chiefly produced by placing against that large deficiency an excess of 421,588 L from " miscellaneous" and casual sources, on which we have no right to build any permanent calculations for the future. If, however, we turn to the comparison of th e quarter, t h e ac counts for the present year exhibit, i n every it em which can be taken as a test of the condition of the country, or of the permanent prospects of the revenue with the single exception of " stamps"—a most gratifying and satisfactory result. Th e C ustoms show an increase of 462,4721., the Excise of 226,8201., the taxes of 8,6611., the Property-tax of 148,2451., the Post-office (notwith standing the extraordinary amount collected in the cor responding quarter of 1845, owing to the railway mania) of 8,0001., and the Crown lauds of 15,0001.; while the stamps, attributable to the enormous expenditure under this head in 1845 for railway deeds, show a deficiency of 5,8111.; and miscellaneous (a mere accidental source of income) of 59,5481 —exhibiting, on the whole, a balance m the total ordinary revenue of the quarter of no less than 803,339/. ; which balance is, however, re duced, by smaller receipts on account of " imprest moneys" and " repayments of advances"—neither having reference to general revenue considerations—to 539.064/. So great, h owever, have been the changes which have taken pie .ce in the two most important sources of revenue—the. Customs and the Excise--during the periods embraced in these accounts, that it is impos sible to form a fair co mparative estimate, either of the years or of the quarters to which they refer, without considering how far ti Ley have been influen ce d b y t h ose changes. First—as f ar as regards the year, it is neces sary to take into actor int the reductions in the Tariff made in 1845, and to esca anine how far those reductions ap plied to the sums appeal ing as the receipts on each year, before we come to any conclusion as to the real charac ter of the large deficit 'ncy in the Customs, or look upon it as any test of tl oe state of trade. In the session of 1845 the reduction s in the Tariff on the articles of sugar, cotton, and four hundred and thirty other articles, and on the e: xport duty on coal—all included under the head of " Ct tstoms"—amounted to no less a sum than 2,418,000/4 and as the year ending October 10, 1845, had, during i .he first half of it, the avantage of those higher rater ; of duty, we hav e a sum of 1,209,0001., which shoo Id be deducted from th e C ustoms s ti l to Tariff in th e l ast sessioaof expired. M oreover, there were f receipts of that year, it t order to put it in a f a i r eornpa ruisrothnearirtedh uthcetioonns in one ja Par liament, affecting the ;annual revenue from Customs to the amount of at letist 400,0004 —which reductions apply only to the l.htter half of the present year. So that in making, a comparison between the Customs duties received in -the two yet Arts ending October 10, 1845 and 1846 respoctively, in order to test the prosperity of business during the tvo periods in question, the sum of 1,409,000/. should be added to the receipts of the latter year, as representing the %mount of duties relinquished, as far as the receipts oS that year are concerned, but of which the receipts .of 1845 had the advantage... As far as the extent of bus loess has been transacted, the latter year, in place of a de Licit of 501,6192, as exhibited in the actual receipts, wet did have given an increase of no less than 907,381/. unde r the same circumstances. We do not, indeed, pretend to say that, had the duties re mained unaltered, the abo v a statement exhibits a pre cise view of what the revel to e would actually have been. But this is just the point of Tactical importance in these accounts, to which we welt le 1 direct the attention of our readers. Duties represent it ig revenue to the amount of 1,409,000/., as applicable -to the last of the two years under comparison, have be a I repealed, while the revenue has only suffered a loss, e' yen duting the first, year, of 501,619L1 The public h ave gained, by a reduction of duties, in round fig' are._ one million and a half sterling, while they ha le lost, in the shape of reve nue, little more thanon t?-Cl *lird of that sum. But the public have gained nv - Alt t more ; they have gainec the whole of the advantages which have resulted from the extension of commerce, consequent upon the greater facilities afforded by amore liberal tariff. They have, gained all the advantages of that trade, the greater amount of which has contributed proportionately so much more revenue. They have profited by a better employment of our shipping—by commissions upon the increased amount of our imports—by the profits, whole sale and retail, which have applied to the distribution of this increased quantity of commodities ; and finally, though most important of all, the whole public have benefited by the increased supply and lower cost of ,all that contributes to their material wants. Again—a comparison of the Excise duties for the year furnishes an equally gratifying result. An increase on the year of 18,7171. is shown in the Revenue tables ; but it must be borne in mind that in 1845 a reduction took place in this branch of revenue, by the repeal of the glass and auction duties, amounting to 892,000/. on the year, but which reduction applied only to one-half of the year ending October 6, 1845, while it applied to the whole of the year ending the 10th instant ; so that.. to make the comparison of the two periods perfect we must add to the receipts of the present year one half of that sum. The quarter's accounts—and especially as far as regards the Customs —are, even in a greater degree than those of the year, illustrative of these advantages. Notwith standing the reductions in the Tariff in the last session of Parliament—which for the single quarter are equal to about 100,0001.—the increase in the present year, compared even with -the prosperous and busy quarter ending the 10th October, 1845—is no less than 462,4721. Vire have relinquished import duties upon the quarter equal to 100,0001; we hare gained revenue to the amount of 462,4721. Nor is this attributable, as somo may suppose, to the large amount of duty received on corn when the new corn-law , first came into operation, that sum having been included in the quarter ending the sth of July. .. ADVERTISER.—Wre publish to cliy the revenue accounts for the year and quarter ending on the 10th instant ; and our reader:, we are sure, will share with us the gratification we feel at the prosperous state of the nation's affairs, as unfolded in these returns. It will be seen that the total increase on the 3 ear, as compared with the year ending October 10, 1845, is 88,2641., while on the quarter, as conspired with the correspond ing quarter of last year, the increase is no less than 539,064/. In the Customs department there is a decrease on the year of 501,619/„ but on the quarter there is an increase of 462,4721. This is a most cheering fact, inasmuch as the Customs have always been regarded as affording the best test of the pros. perity or otherwise of the trade and commerce of the country. The only two beads under . which we find a deficit on the quarter, are those of the Scamps and Miscellaneous. In both instances, the defalcation is insignificant. In the first-mentioned department it only amounts to the trifling sum of 5,8111., in the second it is 59,5481. Under the head Post-office we have an augmentation on the year of 114,000/., and on the quarter of 8,000/. This addition will bo hailed by the country as an indi cation of an increasing intelligence among us. In the Excise department there is an augmentation amounting to 182,717/. for the year, and of 226,820/. for the quar ter. This is a most gratifying increase; for there can not be a better proof of the prosperity of the country, next to that afforded by an augmentation in the Customs, than is furnished by the immense additional consump tion of excisable articles which is indicated by the figures last quoted. The Property-tax, too, has largely partaken of the general prosperity; for on theyear we find an increase of 205,0311., and on the quarter of 148,245/. These returns, we repeat, are of a most en cJuraging kind. It is a long time since any revenue ac counts were so much calculated to afford gratification to the country. They prove that the finances of the na tion are in a most healthy condition. The depression under which the country laboured is now rapidly passing away, The gloom which has, for nearly twelve months, hung over the money market, will be forthwith dispelled, and confidence, which is the very life and soul of mone tary and commercial prosperity, will be everywhere re stored. HERALD.—We have before us the official return of the revenue of the nation for the quarter and the year ended on Saturday last. The figures there fixed afford to us much more reason to congratulate the British public upon the condition of the country, thus evidenced, than sanguine hope could before to-day have bespoke or predicted. There are but two departments of the na tional resources which exhibit a decrease—Stamps show a diminution of 5,8111. upon the quarter's calculation; but there is an increase from them upon the year i pf 21,7591. over the receipts of 1845. Again, there is l e diminution of the quarter's receipts from " Miscella neous " sources, which amounts to 59,5481., but there is an increase in the revenue derived through this &antler' during the year,. which amounts to 421,5881. With re-: gard to this " Miscellaneous" item there is seldom much to say, infrequently food for a paragraph of spe • culation; but in reference to Stamps let us just write a phrase or two. The consumption of stamps is generally a strong evidence of the condi tion of our commercial prosperity or adversity. It is true that stamps are largely " used up" for purposes not strictly mercantile, and that the test of our stamps revenue cannot be always applied to the condition of the commercial affairs of the country. Yet we must say that we do not like the aspect of this decrease in that department. So much for decrease. Let us now turn to that which appears to be the position of the nation manifested by the statement of the national resources before us. The official table shows an increase of revenue for the present year compared with the last amounting to 88,2641., and the increase for the quarter is 539,064/. In the Customs department there is a decrease for the year of 501,6191., and an increase for the quarter of 462,472/ In the Excise there is an increase for the year of 182,7171., and for the quarter an augmen tation which amounts to 226,820/. From the Property tax, there has been derived an increase for the year of 205,031/, and for the quarter of 148,2451. The Post office returns an increase of its income for the year of 114,0001.; but upon the quarter just completed the augmentation is but 8,0001. With the other items included in this return remark can have but little to do, as they cannot exhibit any means convertible to the salu tary purposes of deduction in reference to the financial state of . the United Kingdom. We may now proceed briefly to analyse the materials of which this official do cument is made up, and endeavour to glean from them a glimpse of the position in which the country is as a re ceiving and a paying nation—of its capacity to contain within itself the resources from which it may derive sub siatence, and of the immediate results of the measures which Governments have of late thought necessary to be carried out for the public weal, for the imperial Welfare. We have said that we . do not like the aspect of the de- crease in the revenue derived from stamp;;but when we compare it with the quarter's revenue obtained from the Post-office we must confess that in reference to our trade and commerce the appearances are yet more unsightly. The increase on the year from the Post-office is 114,0001. Throwing into the scale the obvious comparative de crease in the quarter's revenue from this department, we should nevertheless have had an augmentation for the quarter just ended, when compared with the other three quarters of the year, which should amount to 28,2001. For this sum we are compelled to read 8,000/. But we will not descend to metaphysics when plain figures are before us—we will merely reiterate our impression, that with regard to a wholesome state of commerce the ap pearanceal are unseeming. MANCHESTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. ITS REPRESENTATIONS TO GOVERNMENT. (From the Manchester Courier.) We stated in the Courier of Saturday, that the navi gation laws had attracted the attention of the Manchester Chamber of Commeree. We now present a copy of the memorial which has been forwarded by the Directors to the Lords of the Treasury, and officially acknow ledged : "T 0 TILE RIGHT HON. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS OP HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY. " The Memorial of the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Manchester " Showeth—That your memorialists are extremely desirous that her Majesty's Government should take into earliest consideration the present state of our navigation laws. " That whatever may have been the motive under which those laws were originated, it will not now be denied that the intelligence of the age demands a revi sion, if not a total abandonment of them. " That for many years pact the impossibility of re taining them against the United States of America, and subsequently against several other nations, was ad mitted, and specific relametions decreed by tbe Legisla ture ; but the wise policy adopted in the last session of Parliament calls, in the opinion of your memorialists, for an immediate reform or abolition of them as against all the world. "That your memorialists call for such reform or abolition on the grounds of sound policy and justice, the injurious consequences of those laws having been often practically experienced ; but they grieve to add, that the dispensations of Divine Providence seem to them to render the correction instantly necessary. " That, under the most afflicting circumstances in which many portions of this empire are now placed in respect to food, your memorialists would fain hope that a paternal Government will not suffer to remain upon the statute-book for one unnecessary instant those mis chievous and partially devised provisions of law, which, operating at all times and under all circumstances against the true interests of the bulk of the people, aggravate at the present moment their ordinary injustice, by adding to the difficulty of providing against impending famine. " On the grounds, therefore, of policy, justice, and ne cessity, your memorialists humbly, but most: urgently pray, that your Lordships may take into immediate con sideration the whole of the provisions of the navigation laws, with a view to provide such remedies as the well being of the people imperatively requires. e of India by the system ‘ T ‘ A h r e a d n i c s h tu e s r t b e a r Oct. n , ce 1. of th l e B 4 t r 6. a ' d ' pursued in respect to bills and the rate of exchange by the East India Company has also been fore d upon the attention of the Manchester Chamber of Comm?rce, and the following memorial to Lord John Ru •sell, in his capacity of Ent Lord of the Treasury, has been the result;-- "TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD JOHN RUSSELL, M.P. FIRST LORD OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY. " The Memorial of the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Manchester " Showeth—That your memorialists deem it high time to draw the special attention of her Majesty's Ca binet to points in the administration of Indian affairs, which they consider to be directly opposed to the spirit, if not to the actual letter, of the Act 3d and 4th of William IV., cap. 85, and most injurious to the perma nentinterests of their fellow-subjects in India, as well as to the trade between Great Britain and that portion of the empire. " That your memorialists hold that by the Act just named, it was intended by the Legislature that all right in the Hon. the East India Company to trade for their own profit, in common with others, his Majesty's sub jects, should be suspended during such time as the go vernment of the said territory should be confided to them. " That notwithstanding the will of Parliament so dis tinctly laid down, the Honourable the East India Com pany commenced, immediately after the passing of the Act, a system of dealing which doubly interfered with others of the trading subjects of his Majesty, by disturbing the prices both of goods and money. Under the plea of securing the safe receipt of funds for the discharge of the honourable Company's liabilities in this country, warehouses were opened at all the Presidencies, where money advances were made to those who were willing to deposit goods, to be controlled by consignment to the company in Leadenhall-street; and at the-.same time they issued bills on India in return for mom paid to them in Lon don. The effects of this doubt 9 -operation could not long be concealed; the markets Of- India were ruffled—. becoming elevated at one time by the power which the Company's money advances there gave to bold adven turers and reckless speculators, and languid at another; when those borrowed means were locked up. Facti tious disturbances like these render impossible that safe and equitable system of commerce ; by whiCh alone the solid interests of both producer and consumers cast be internationally davelopedi,and these disturbances have been further aggravated by the arbitrary manner in which the Honourable Company have been in the habit of fixing the rate of exchange at which their advances in India, or their bills in London, have been granted. It is, therefore, no source of wonder to your memorial ists that India has been visited by periods of commercial depression and distress more frequently and more se verely than any other portion of her Majesty's domi nions; and they do not hesitate to express their opinion that such will continue to be the case so long as the sys tem of which they complain shall be permitted to Le practised. " That these sentiments have long been entertained by your memorialists, for they were submitted by this Chamber to the President of the Board of Control by a deputation, in February, 1835, and, at his desire, in a detailed statement dated March 18, 1835 ; by memorials to the First Lord of the Treasury, and to the Board of Trade, on February 10, 1836 ; and again to the Board of Control in a memorial, dated December 7, 1843. All complaint was ineffectual, and the system continued ; but the evils attending it attracted at last the attention of the Governor-General in Council, and the opinions of your memorialists received the strongest confirms tion in the publication of the following important do cument "'Fort William, Financial Department, Aug. 4, 1843. " NoTurcATioN.—Notice is hereby given, that the Government of India has recommended to the home au thoriri s the expediency of discontinuing, as soon as pos sible, the present system of making advances in India upon the security of goods to be Hypothecated to the East India Company. " The Governor-General in Council is of opinion that the full supplies required to meet the wants of the Home Treasury can be raised in England by the Ho nourable the Court of Directors by the sale of bills on India, without any necessity for the intervention of the Government in the Indian markets, and he is desirous of relieving the trade of India from the irregular in trusion of a competition which is governed principally by the political exigencies of the State. "'The Governor-General in Council is aware that private interest may be injuriously affected by the sud den discontinuance of any system that has long been in operation, and he issues this timely notification of his views upon a subject of the gravest importance to the mercantile community connected with the trade of India, in order that they may not be unprepared for a change of measures which the Government .of India is urging strongly on, the attention of the home authorities, and will be ready to carry out at the earliest opportunity.

" NOTIFICATION.—Notice is hereby given, that the sum to be provided in India during the official year 1845-46, for the service of the Honourable the East India Company in London, by bills of exchange to be secured by the hypothecation of goods, has been fixed at 800,0001. sterling. It is further notified for general information, that of the sum of 800,0001. sterling required from I n di a during the past year 1814-45, only 272,5791. sterling have been raised by bills upon England, and that deduct ing supplies received from other sources, a balance of 457,8711. sterling remains to be provided, which it may be necessary to add to the demand for the current year.

A. DORIN, " Secretary to the Government - of India.' "'Fort William, Financial Department, Dec. 22, 1845. " NOTIVICATION.—Notice is hereby given, that as the amount of the year's supply required from India by the Honourable the Court of Directors, in aid of their home treasury, has been provided in full, no further advances on the hypothecation of goods will be made by the Governments of Bengal, Madras, or Bombay, during the course cf the current official year. "' By order of the Honourable the President of the Council of India in Council, " J. A. DORIN, " Secretary to the Government of India.' "Rut, notwithstanding this published declaration of i l the local Government, other interests prevailed, and the system was still continued: In the early part of this year, however, the news arrived that the Honourable Company had closed their hypothecating warehouses in India, and had announced that no further advances on the hypothecation of goods would be made in any of the Presidencies during the course of the then official year — that is, from the 22d of December, 1845, to the Ist of May, 1846. In the hope that wiser counsels were about to prevail, and feeling that no permanent good to India could arise from a temporary abandonment of the sys tem, your memorialists forthwith addressed a memo rial to the Court of Directors of the Honourable Com pany, dated Ist of May, expressing their satisfaction at the closing of the hypothecating warehouses, and pray. ing that the system might be finally abandoned, and that the fact of such final abandonment might be promulgated `by themselves throughout all the Presidencies. To this memorial it was replied that the Court did not deem it expedient to abandon the system of remittance; and, within a few weeks, the Honourable Court published a notice in London that advances on the hypothecation of goods in India would be made there to the extent of 800,0001., up to the Ist of May, 1847. Your memo rialists cannot know the motives which have induced this mischievous step; for experience has proved that if con fidence could be placed in the discretion and continuity of purpose of the Court of Directors, abundance of means would be provided for the legitimate wants of the Go vernment, by payments into their London treasury ' against bills on India. The ordinary requirements of the Honourable Company in England are about 3„ 000 000/. a year; during the year 1845, when t he pawning system was in force, the receipts by them in London, against bills of India, amounted to 3,ISS,i-- .; and from the 24th of January to the 6th of Sqtember, of the present year, the sums so paid in Lond,,n ran :unt to 2,296,000 L, being at the rate of 3,300,0001 fuk the year. " Your memorialists are aware that a money pressure has existed for some time in India, towards which many causes may have combined; but they believe that no cause contributes more to disturbance and pressure than the system of which they complain. It cannot be ex pected that adequate capital can flow into India, either for the ordinary occupations of commerce, or for appli cation to land culture, so long as every operation and every interest can be arbitrarily interfered with by di. , pawning propensities of the Government. India has long suffered from these causes. Commercial capital has, in deed, been used by starts, but never without suspicion of danger; nor will it be fully applied until released from the apprehension of being unconsciously brought into a rivalry with the Government, or being suddenly and THE. GREAT .BRITAIN. - TYRELLA, WEDNESDAY. NIGHT, 11.30_ P. 3 ,4, Since my last the weather has moderated, and this noble vessel now lies in comparative safety upon the t-sand, resisting both wind and wave in admirable style. She has an almost imperceptible inclination to port. Strange rumours are constantly cowing out abaut Tier. One is, and that from one of the crew, that her captai n contemplates using tanks to float her off. I will not offer any remarks on this subject so as to prejadice the public mind either one way or the other ; but there will be almost insurmountable difficulties in applying such humble aid in a case of such emergency as the present.. It is the general opinicn here that the ship's weight is from 1,000 to 1,500 tons. If such be the mse, I vary much doubt a sufficient buoyancy being got rrom tanks, let their floating power be applied ever so forcibly. It is also confidently asserted that Lloyd's agent has given up all hope of doing good from the simple fact "of the captain declining to give up the ship, as he:was a shareholder to the amount of 30,0001., and was therefore entitled to her sole management. The dangerous and destructive measures resorte&to, to free her of the water she has made, are likely, in'the event of her being got off, to prove very injurious to The ship, viz., that of driving the rivets, whose heads have been started by the straining of the ship. All steam ships, more especially those of large dimensions, can connect their engines with a pump or pumps of sufficient force to throw off a considerable quantity of water per minute, but in the case of the Great Britain no such ex pedient appears to have deen resorted to. The following letter has been posted in the under writers' rooms at Liverpool : " TO THOMAS COURT, ESQ. dc By letter received this morning from Tyrella, the Great Britain steam-ship has altered her position. She now lies east and west on the shore, and making much water ; it was above the deck of the saloon. Vessel is higher up on the beach, and labouring on the I am, &ta, " LEONARD WATSON. " Nairn Point, Oct. 8, 1846." The Warder publishes the following letter relative to this unfortunate ship : " Dnapt. . - 0ct. j 174, Five P.M. " Sir,—Since I last afldicaseilit ti',tiOtkihe subject of this ill-fated vessel, soMe futile at 1 , - , itave been made to get her off, and the result has SeifjUst as • I *antici pated; that instead of benefitingVenituatien it has been made considerably worse. The spring tides, upon;which so much reliance was placed, came and went, as is almost invariably tbe'case, accompanied by a strong wind 'and heavy sea, and left the . Great Britain clinging to her sandy bed more firmly than ever, from which nothing- - -- will ever remove her but the application of simple scien tific means, and which can be applied without Waiting for the treacherous springs. "On my arrival on the beach at Tyrella, on Tuesday last, at 11 h. 30w., A.M., the ship was evidently in motion, many persons on the beach remarked it ; she had her jib foresail and fore trysail set, but no visible effort was made to get her off. On visiting her after the tide had receded, 1 found her lying with an inclination of about a degree and a half to starboard, her forefoot was en tirely out of the sand for about eight or ten feet ; she has not sunk so much as was anticipated abaft, I think not more than two feet and a half ; her screw is safe and can be worked. A quantity of sand has accumulated under her bilge, but not to any considerable amount., Upon the whole, I do not consider the Great Britain's danger at present is so great as is generally supposed. She is encumbered with a great deal of superincumbent weight, such as her quarter-boats, masts, yards, spars, some bent sails, and an anchor hanging at her starboard bow. It is not to be wondered at if she strains, with these top weights exposed to and offering the resistance they do to the wind. I visited her yesterday after the tide had fallen, and found her stern had shifted in shore about 40 or 50 feet, and she was lying with a very slight inclination to port, and with her pot t broadside exposed to the sea. Water was running in considerable quan tiqes from her rivet holes. .She was said to have had ten feet in her hold. Are her pumps choked ? I was informed yesterday, on good authority, that the com mander of the Great Britain contemplates floating her with tanks. I r-ntioned in my last letter that I esti mated her weight at 1,000 tons; but, upon closer calcu lation, I should think 1,500 would be nearer the mark; to float which of fixed metal by tanks would far exceed any notion of efficient buoyancy ; and, in m opinion, such an attempt will prove as u se l ess as the latey ones that were made on what were to be eventful spring tides. There is at least a rise and fall of six or eight feet where the Great Britain now lies, which, in moderate weather, would be quite sufficient to get her off; and I am still prepared, if. I meet with due support and assist ance from the parties most closely concerned in the Great Britain's salvation, to carry her off the sands of Dundrum in safety.—Your most obedient servant, THOMAS S. GABRIEL, RN., Her Majesty's ship Queen COLLISION ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. BISHOP STORTI/ORD, SATURD4X.---A collision of an exceedingly' frightful charactaratook place this (Satur day) morning toe the Eastern Counties (Cambridge line), about a mile and' it half on the Cambridge side of Bishop Stortford, and-midway between that place and the Stan .stead station—a collision which, although, fortunately, it . has not resulted in the loss of life, has involved the destruction of a vast amount of property. From the particulars collected on the spot where the collision took place, it appears that on Friday evening, immediately after the departure of the up fast train, which leaves Cambridge at nine o'clock P.DI, an engine, with a train consisting of thirty-five trucks, partially filled with coal and corn sacks, and partially empty, started from the same place, en route for Stratford. About half-past nine another train, consisting of thirty three carriages, laden with grain, also started from Cam bridge on the up line, and on its way to London, drawn by engine No. 97, and driven by a man named Parker. On the arrival of the truck train within a mile and a half of Bishop Stortford station, and a few hundred yards of the New-road bridge, the feeding-pipe of the engine at tached to the truck train became out of order, and ren dered it unable to proceed. The driver and stoker set to work repairing the engine, and about half-past twelve o'clock, having completed their object, the train was set in motion; but had scarcely done so, when the train laden with grain was heard coming up. Pestal, the guard of the truck train, with all possible speed ran doan the line, and exhibited the red signal; but ton late to stop the grain train, at that moment approaching the New -road bridge at the rate of twenty miles an hour, on the same line as the truck train had been standing. Every exertion was used by Parker to prevent the occurrence, but with out avail. In an instant after the collision took place, the engine of the grain train dashing with fearful vio lence into the tail of the truck train. The crash is described as fearful in the extreme—a fact to which the appearance of the line bore ample testimony throughout the whole of that morning. Eight carriages of the grain train, and eight or nine of the truck train were smashed. At an early hour yesterday morning the line was completely blocked, and the rails of the up line torn up for a considerable distance. Oa either side lay scattered carriages in a ditch, whilst the engine No. 97 lay on the side of the embankment- nearest the up line, with goods waggons on either side, completely over it. The line ity.elf was covered with wheels, springS, aed other fragments of the carriages, and sacks upon sacks of loose grain were apparently mixed in with the soil. The escape of the engine -driver and stoker of the engine of the grain train was truly miraculous. The stoker was thrown into the field adjoining the line - for a con siderable distance, and as the engine turned over, Parker, the driver, who had shut off his steam, and was at the time holding on by the break, turned over with it down the embankment, and was shortly after got out from under it, in at first an apparently insensible condition, from which, however, he speedily rallied, after being extricated from his perilous situation. The instant the news of the collision reached the Bishop Stortford station, at which it is sta4d the clia,ll was distinctly heard; Mr. Nicholson, the station-master, dispatched a spnial engine to. London for aid, and Mr. Kitsan, the chief of the locomotive department at the Stratford station, with two or three hundred labourers, proceeded to the spot, and were set to work in removing the wreck of the two trains from the line. They com menced their labours about three o'clock in the morning, and some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the accident, when it is stated that, notwithstanding the im mense number of men employed, the down line was not cleared in sufficient time to allow the 15 minutes after seven o'clock train, due at Bishop Stortford at 18 mi nutes after eight, to pass. The consequence was that this train was detained until nine o'clock, before it got into the Bishop Stortford station. Throughout the whole of this day (Saturday) all the trains between London and Cambridge were detained a considerable time, and it was not until a late hour last evening that the up line was thoroughly cleared, and the rails relaid, so as to allow trains to come up with safety. It appeared from the statement of George Flahall, the guard of the grain train, who was also thrown out of the break carriage, that Pestal, the guard of the truck train, had been for some time down the line, holding the red signal, but the signal being given for his train to start, he ran towards it, and had nearly reached it, when h he ran back to show theea signal, hearth; the toobgurtai n trainlate to coming heei. u' service. Several of the directors, accompanied by Mr. Roney, the secretary, visited the spot during the day, and it is understood a rigid investigation will be instituted by the board, to ascertain who are the culpable parties. The engine of the grain train is completely destroyed, and the loss altogether is calculated at not less than 3,0001.

DEATH OF A CONVICT BY DROWNING.-011 Thurs day afternoon, about two o'clock, a convict of the War rior hulk, named Turner, while at work unloading timber from a London trading vessel, overbalanced himself and fell into the river. A waterman's boat was promptly on the spot, and every exel tion made to save him, but he almost instantancously at the stern of the yes el. The same convict fell into the river about twelvemonths ago in a nearly simi!ar manner as the pre sent, which has proved fatal, and it was with the greatest d £ficulty he wets saved the first tic.e.
