AN AFFECTING GOOD BYE A gentleman, not many days remote, Was heard in conversation with his coat. " My faithful friend," said he, "it makes me grieve To think that I'm constrain'd to take my leave. You've been a worthy garment in your time, But now, alas I I think you've seen your prime. And, therefore, dearest coat! I think it best To fold you up and pop you in thy chest. Good bye, my worthy coat ! good bye! good bye I" (And here he wip'd a tear-drop from his eye). " Well," said the garment. "if it must be so, It can't be help'd ; but I regret to go. Of course you'll haste to MOSES for another; At MOSES' mart I've many a worthy brother. You'll get a coat of MOSES and his SON To serve you just as well as I have done. I'm only one from such a boundless stock ; They've charming coats in thousands—dress and flock. Cheer up, good master I pray cheer up," said he, " You'll get another coat as good as me." 4 s. d. ..........from 0 8 6 ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT, Carlisle, Feb. 25. This being the commission day at Newcastle, Mr. Justice Coleridge proceeded thither by an early train, Mr. Justice Patteson remaining to dispose of the •few cases still on the calendar. Charles Stead was indicted for cutting and wounding John O'Brien, at Penrith, on the 12th inst. The details of this case were the same as those already given of the attack which was made by a number of English men working on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway;:on the house of a person of the name of M•Levi where a number of Irishmen lodged. The prisoner was identified as having been one actively engaged in the outrage, and by whom the prosecutor was knocked down and severely wounded. He was found guilty of a common assault. Joseph Andrews was indicted for an assault on James Mooney. This was a portion of the same transaction. The prisoner was clearly identified as one of a party by whom the prose cutor, an Irishman, was knocked down and severely beaten. —Verdict, Guilty. An indictment for riot had been found against John Hob day, convicted yesterday, Geo. Fallowfield, Charles Stead, Joseph Andrews, and John Richardson, but it was arranged ; they pleading guilty to the riot, that those not convicted of other offences should be discharged on their recognizances to keep the peace, and to come up and receive judgment if called on. His LORDSHIP then proceeded, in a most impressive ad dress, to pass sentence on the prisoners. He characterised the attack made on the house of M'Levi, and the treatment of the inmates, as one of the most cowardly, brutal, and savage actsibe had ever heard related in a court of justice ; and observing that it was necessary to repress such outrages by a severe example, sentenced Hobday to be transported for 15 years, Stead to 18 months' imprisonment, and Andrews to 12 months. APPALLING EXPLOSION ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. DovEn, THURSDAY ND:MT. — The Coroner's investigation relative to this sad catastrophe was commenced this day, at twelve o'clock, before Mr. G. T. Thompson, the borough Coroner, and a jury of thirteen householders, in the Guards'-room attached to the town ter minus of the railway. The names of the sufferers. and their respective ages, as handed to the Coroner, by Mr. Way, the station-master, are as follows : Joseph Hambrook, aged 24, left a widow and one child; William Gordon, aged 23, a widow; Thomas Hutton, 52, a widow, and no family ; James Cooke, 56, left two children ; John Russell, single man ; John Payne, 39, a widow and seven children ; Isaac Hughes, 28, single man ; John Wilson, 28, a widow ; Edward Ruck, 38, widow and two children ; slohn Kendall, 24, single man ; William itithards, 39, widow ; and Joseph Willis, 30, widow and two chil dren ; the last-named deceased survived the accident some hours. Ile died in shocking agony at nine o'clock last evening. The jury having been duly empannelled on the twelve bodies, Mr. Sims, the foreman, observed that before the investigation was proceeded with, he should wish to ask the Coroner whether he really had any power to deal with the case, as the accident took place in the county, and, therefore, he thought, out of the jurisdiction of the borough Coroner. The CORONER remarked, that knowing an opinion had gone abroad questioning the legality of his going into the inquiry, he_ had sub mitted it to the consideration of Mr. Sergeant Manning who was clearly of opinion that he (the Coroner) had jtuildiction in the matter, and was bound to proceed with it. The inquiry was then resumed. . . . Henrykoize said he last saw them alive at half-past eleven o'clock on Tuesday forenoon. They were engaged on the line near the cave. Never saw them enter the cave. Did not know that it contained powder, or even that a cave existed there. Mr. Nash said that, after the Coroner had taken the evidence as to the identity of the deceased, he would call witnesses who would mi nutely describe the formation and character of the' cave. Mr. Nash here addressed the jury, and said, it would be found that the deceased were aware of the existence of gunpowder in the cave and, according to a statement, which he had reduced to writing, of one of the sufferers, since dead, which he was desirous to put in as evidence, the explosion was occasioned by one of the deceased incau tiously smoking a pipe in the cave, and a spark falling on to the powder led to the deplorable result. The CORONER replied that he could not accept it as evidence. Francis Barnes, on being sworn, then said, I am a commission boat man, in the service of the Coast-guard. On Tuesday last I left our station at Lydden Spout, near Dover, and proceeded on duty along the railway towards Folkstone. Having spoken with a policeman and a plate-layer, who were on the line, respecting some particular duty, I returned towards Dover, and while walking on the sea wall, near the Shakspeare tunnel, I saw the explosion take place at the foot of the cliff, about 50 yards in advance of me. I felt the shock very greatlY, and ran back as it E hook me. There was a dense body of smoke, and I noticed dark figures being hurled Into the air, which I have no doubt were the bodies of the deceased. Thinking at first that they were blasting the cliff, I ran back to the police man to blame him for not warning me. He told me that he knew nothing of the circumstance. I then returned, and met an old man, who was holding up and grasping his hands in apparently deep agony. I said to him, " What are they doing--are they blowing up the c liff?" He replied, " Oh , no, there has been an accident; several persons are killed." I then made my way to the mouth of the cave, and saw bodies lying about in all directions, with their clothes on fire. I noticed three or four men alive in great suffering. Two were lying in a ditch fronting the mouth of the cave. They were sensible, and praying God to let them die. I afterwards discovered the other under the sea-wall. The remainder were scattered on the line and about the rocks. As seen as I lied recovered myself, for I was much eonfUse4l by the scene, I ran to the policeman, told him the occur rence, and bade him go to the spot. I then went further up the line anti fired my pistol, the usual signal to alarm my comrades at the station to render assistance. On returning to the cave a pilot en gine awl some carriages came up from the Dover station, and I assisted, these present in placing the sufferers in them. 'a Thomas Wrigley, a plate - layer, in the service of the company, was also examined, And spoke to the foregoing facts. Henry Hunter, a labourer in the employ of Messrs. Grissell and Peto, deposed, on Saturday last I was breakfasting in the toll cave with several other labourers. It was full, and the labourers, the deceased, wanted to enter. They were murmuring for want of room, and said to Dingley, as he would not. disturb his ra!ibits for them in ene of the caves, would he let them go into the one that contained the powder? He refused, unless they got the sanction of Mr. Way, the station - master, When he would remove and bury the powder. On Taesday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, I saw the door of the cave open, and went in with several fellow-labourers, and drank some beer. There were two small beer-casks in the cave, one was empty and the other had two gallons of beer in it. They were placed in the cave on Monday, and were taken away only twenty minutes before the explosion. When I went in I saw the powder on the floor ; did not think there was much danger in wandering about such a place. Some interruptions occurred here In the investigation from Mr. De Lassoul, coroner for the Canterbury division of the county claiming the right of holding the inquest. Mr. De Lassoux again repeated his determination to proceed with his inquiry on the following day, and left, evidently much excited The investigation was then resumed; the witnesses who were examined corroborating the evidence previously adduced, and at a late hour the ingulrywas adjourned, with a view of obtaining further evidence. The dying declaration of the deceased, Joseph Willis,. which was rejected by the Coroner, as It could not be received In evidence, but which gives the cause of the explosion, is to the following effect : " I, Joseph Willis, make a statement, as far as I can recollect, of the cause of the accident. At a quarter-before one o'clock P.M., o❑ Tuesday, I, in company with others, entered a cave situate close to where we were at work. We did so in consequence of its raining, and wanting to finish our dinner. Afterwards one of my mates—l do not know his name—took a lucifer-match to light his pipe of tobacco. Having done so, he accidental let it fall upon the ground, close to something black, which immediately began to hiss, and we all became alarmed, and endeavoured to make our escape, during which time it communicated with two barrels which were in the cave, containing gunpowder. I did not at the time know that they contained powder, but judged they did in consequence of the explo sion which followed directly after. I recollect nothing further." [ADVERTISEMENT.

TUE CONSOL ACCOUNT.--The settlement of the Con sul account which has taken place to-day, is one of the most re markable as regards fluctuations during its progress, which we have had for a very long time. Bargains in it commenced, according to the usage at the Stock-Exchange, on the 4th of January. The opera tions between this date and the 10th of the same month showed an upward tendency in the market, and from about 95% Consols ad vanced to 95%. After this period the scarcity of money began to be felt, and in connexion with the account then about to be settled, a reaction took place, and the quotation dropped to nearly 94%. The account was settled on the 16th, and the price then arranged Was 9434 . Between the lith and 18th of the mouth there was a flatness in the prices which was increased by the advices received from America of a strong feeling in favour of war. Upon this news Consols at once went back to 94. There was then, between this period and the 29th of the month, increased activity, consequgen t upon the purchases of the Government broker , whose dealings ve - strength to the market, and Consols reached Prices continued to advance, and, with triffing l'. From that date ter mediate uc fltua tions, the quotation touched 95% on the receipt of thrther intelligence from America respectipg the moderation of hostile feeling towards the English. This figure was marked on the 4th of February, and Consols then exhibited much firmness. Between the sth and Bth of the month the Chancery broker came In as a large buyer of stock and Exchequer-bills, and the quotation of Consols imme diately advanced nearly 1 per cent. per diem. After they touched 974, there was another reaction on sales, but so soon as the effect of those had passed; a fluther advance occurred, and Consols .on the 9th got up to 97%. It was then found that the broker had concluded his operations, and the result was, that from that time to the llth prices receded to 96%, and from the 12th to the 23d to 96. Since that date, business having been limited, bargains have been done as low as 95%, but now more firm ness is manifested in consequence of the account allowing a "bear" tendency, which has brought up the price to 9614. Daring the whole progress of the account the extreme advance, it will be Seen, was about 3% per cent., and the reaction 1% per cent. At the com mencement several causes operated to depress the market. The State of relations with the United States kept up a general feeling of anxiety, and the doubt as to how the question of the railway depo sits would be settled, hung as a dead weight on the minds of ope rators. Nevertheless, the danger of the period wag over-estimated, and the principal losers on the present settlement are those who then speculated for tile fall. The reaction w hi ch was produced by the purchases of the Chancery broker led m any to believe that Consols would reach a much higher quotation than was actually attained, i e n rifi t c h e e d ir t e n xpectations. The com but they were soon stopped w s e h r O e rt sa parties, who saw how they gh it i n investing i tohpeey rations, checked their progress, althou had actually taken out Chancery orders for an amount far exceeding' that which has been actually invested. The depression at the com mencement, and the sudden rise on the Accountant-General's pur chases, are the two most cOnspicUoUs.features In the account. Since then the tendency has been for the most part downwards, and the scarcity 'of money. occasioned by the withdrawal of the deposit money from circulation, has been the theme of general complaint. The Bank, by extending its advances, partially relieved the pressure ; but still the market is in an unsatisfactory state, and the rise of to-day is at tributed merely to the account being against those who speculated for the fall about the end of January.—Times' City Article of this day. 4 , THE OVERLAND MAIL.—The Bombay Journal of Commerce of the 14th ult. contains a notice intimating that it has been resolved to extend the subscriptions for the Waghorn testimo nial to that place, and that an agent has been appointed to receive and remit such donations as the local community may be disposed to contribute to the fund raising in London for thatpurpose. Thenews of Mr. Waghon I's celebrated journey by way of Trieste had reached India, and given a sew stimulus to the feeling in his favour connected with the original opening and improvement of . the route to this country by way of Egypt and the continent. Much speculation is indulged in re specting the comparative merits of the Trieste and Marseilles mutes, with some leaning in favour of the latter, so far as speed is concerned ; but all seem awake to the great advantage of ceasing to depend absolutely upon the French Government for communications of such vital importance ; and it is generally .auticipated that for travellers the Trieste route will have many points of preference. That part of the transit which lies through Egypt is becoming a source of some uneasiness in India, and all look forward with apprehension to the period when the management of the conveyance shall be taken, as is threatened, into the Paella's own hands, subject to the powerful influence of French intrigue in Egypt. The existing contract has still, however, two years to run, and it is impossible but that this Government must be awake to the importance of profiting by .e interval, in obtaining proper guarantees that this route shall placed beyond the risk of disturbance or interference. It has become its a national question, and every arrival that takes place adds to Importance.

The ship Duke of Cornwall, which arrived yesterday in the East India-dock from St. Helena, has brought home the crew of the brig Lady Sale, of Liverpool, which was seized on the coast of Africa by a Portuguese man-of-war on suspicion of being fitted out for the slave-trade. The Lady Sale belonged to the respectable house of Charles Hors fall and Son, of Liverpool, and was chartered for Rio Janeiro and Congo, to get oil of palm and ivory, but had not been able to obtain either, and was on her way to Ambrez to ship a cargo of copal, when she was boarded by a Portuguese man-of-war, and seized, in conse quence of her having on board twenty-six casks of water. several -hags of riess,aeOpper, and some bars. -,- The Portuguese authorities, however, condemned the vessel, and the matter has been taken up with some spirit by the Liverpool mer chants. The crew of the Lady Sale were detained for some time by the Portuguese, and afterwards sent to St. Helena. The authorities of St. ile:ena sent them home in charge of an officer of the English navy, who left the Duke of Cornwall three days ago at Deal, and nothing has since heels heard of him. The owner of the Duke of Cornwall waited upon Mr. Broderip, at the Thames court on Wednesday, and requested his interference. The Magis trate referred him to the superintendent of the Thames division of police, who declined taking the men into custody unless some specific charge was made against them. The owner of the Duke of Corn wall declined making any charge against the crew of the Lady Sale, and said they had been sent home as passengers in this ship in charge of a mate iu the navy, who quitted her at Deal. The owner was only anxious to be released of the men, for whose passage he was to re ceive 1501. from her Majesty's Government. Mr. Evans, the superintendent of the Thames division, communicated the arrival of the eleven men to the Board of Admiralty, and also to the Com missioners of Police, but received no authority from either party to arrest-the crew of the Lady Sale. Indeed neither the Admiralty nor the Commissioners knew anything of the matter. On Thursday, on the arrival of the Duke of Cornwall in the dock, some parties connected wills the ship requested Mr. Evans, jun., an in spector of 'Phonies police, to take the men into custody, which he refused to do unless sonic tangible charge was made. The crew of the Lady Sale still remained on board the Duke of Corn wall, and are very anxious for some officers to take them into cus tody, and that the question as to the legality of their detention should be tried. It is expected they will leave the ship this day, and put their case into the hands of a procter or attorney, unless the Board of Admiralty order them to be taken before a magistrate. No wit nesses have been sent to England to give evidence against the eleven seamen. It is rumoured that the mate, who had charge of the men, has either lost or mislaid the papers intrusted to him relating to the seizure of the Lady Sale, and that his non-appearance at the Admi ralty is owing to that cause. Several gentlemen went on Thursday to the Thames Police-court and inquired after the crew of the Lady Sale, and were much surprised to dad that no order had been g.ven to remove them from the Duke of Cornwall. They expressed a strong opinion of the illegality of the seizure, and came prepared to bail the men if they had been in any legal custody. We believe a strong representation relating to the seizure and condemnation of the Lady Sale has been made to the Portuguese Ambassador by Lord Aberdeen, and`the case is likely to become a matter of discussion in both Houses of Parliament.

SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COMPANY. Yesterday the nineteenth half-yearly general meeting of this company took place at the offices in Bishopsgate-street. The chair was taken by Col. Barlow, when the secretary read the report, from which it appeared that the sum of 210,000/ , proposed to be raised for the purpose of completing the inner dock, not having been responded to beyond the extent of 82,0001., the directors had suspended the raising of the sum required, but thought it could only be temporary, from the growing importance of Southampton. The graving dock was progressing satisfactorily, but owing to the extraordinary demand for stone at the Government works, the directors did not contemplate its being ready to receive ships for repair until May next. The Itchen wharf Lad been made up to a length of 700 feet to the dock entrance, and a sufficient depth of water obtained to admit colliers, as coal was already an important item of business. The directors had much satisfaction in calling the attention of the proprietors to tho proposed extension of the South-Western Railway to London bridge, for which the directors had applied to Parliament in the present session ; a measure of the highest importance to the interests of both companies, and thus enabling the above to purchase or rent ware houses in the port of London in connexion, by railway, with those at Southampton. The comparative statement of the half-yearly receipts for the last two years, upon that portion of the revenue derived from goods passing over the company's quays, continued to increase, being for the year 1844, 4,0181. 7s. Bd. ; and for the year 1845 8,3761, 6s. 3d. The balance on the capital account was 20,644/. Bs. Id., and on the general revenue account 9861. 2s. 9d. in favour of the company. The total quantity of tonnage which en tered the docks iu the year 1845 was 158,680, which was made up as follows:—From the West Indies, 5,572 tons; Mediterranean, 27,997 ; America, 5,014 ; Baltic, 1,366 ; Cape of Good Hope, 1,223 ; Ichaboa, 809; France, 39,330; Jersey and Guernsey, 33,474; Western Isles, 1,059; coasters, 42,836. After the report was read some discussion took place, in which one proprietor thought it would be better to dispose of the concern to the South-Western Railway, or some other company, for a fair remuneration, but it was not entertained by the directors, or the majority of the meeting, who would rather rely on the growing importance of Southampton. Four directors, namely, Count Eyre, Captain Ward, R.N., James Rigmaiden, Esq., and J. H. Forbes, Esq., were re-elected directors, and the report was adopt A. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. THE SElga GuNs.—Among the observations made in the City by groups of eager politicians commenting on tke news from India, Should ba noticed the surprise generally expressed at the possession by the Seikh force of that powerful artillery which were employed with such murderous effect against the British troops. This has led to much questioning among the merchants connected with India ; and some of them itow call to mind that about five years ago, while itunject Singh was yet alive, large purchases of cannon were made in this country by the agents of that distinuguished officer, General Ventura, then in the service of the Baja ; and that, so far from any jealousy or suspicion being manifested by our Govern ment respecting them, facilities were given for their transport across the desert, which otherwise could hardly have been accomplished. Others profess to recollect, that as the vessels plying between Suez and Bombay could only take a few of these guns at a time, on account of their great weight, a merchant ship of great power in the India trade was expressly employed to come up to Suez, where they had accumulated in large quantities, and took away what remained. Of course this service was most liberally paid for, and heavy duties were probably levied at Bombay on the landing of this fatal cargo ; but money was of no consideration with the parties for whom it was intended. The transition from the possession of the Raja, then on friendly terms with us, to the hands which have turned this murderous weapon at a most critical moment against the bravest i andd the most distinguished of the British army, is perfectly easy to ac count for, if the facts here stated are admitted: leyhave excited that nd b e e f ig n Ex changeonce e f c or u t i o e uldbe further s P e a t h a ll i l io l a f t, ec t li h n o g u s g w h .h w er i e th ver no th b e grr v i e ntrod been ue m . tie i ni si tithonVis, s the t o sc a ualb i jl io foundation, it will be a requisite informa tion. ht a.uedl it r i,t u t ho m eb o y. r c nn tie shown t , h, officiallyto thatre great relief; it otherwise, it will be at least a piece of Instruction to those in power never to regard with indifference a great export of warlike stores from this country, however improbable its being here after turned aguinst us may appear. ASSOCIATION FOR CLEANSING THE STREETS, &C.-- The Association for promoting the improvement of the pavement and the cleansing and draining the streets of London, and other large cities and towns, celebrated for the second time the anniversary of its formation by dining at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, yesterday evening. The attendance of the supporters of the Society was numerous, and consisted of persons from all parts of the town, over whom his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge presided. There were also present most of the original supporters of the Society, viz., Mr. C. Cochrane, the president (who is understood to have made from his own purse the most liberal advances of money to carry out the objects for which it %formed); Lord Robert Grosveaor, Lord James Stuart, General Sir Henry Pynn, Messrs. D. Salomon, R. Lambert Jones, Edward Brewster, Silk Buckingham, Luke J. Hansard, &c. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Messrs. Newton, Sporle, Genge, Crouch, and Edney, assisted by Miss Thornton ; and Mr. Toole attended to give out the toasts and preserve decorum. The usual toasts were drunk with the honours, and ap propriate songs were sung by the vocalists. The health of the Royal Chairman called forth the long and loud cheers of the com ma-, for which his Royal Highness acknowledged his gratefill feel ings. Shortly before ten o'clock the Duke retired, and Lord J. Stuart took the chair ; after which, Mr. Cochrane, Mr. S. Buckingham, and several other gentlemen, addressed the company in advocacy of the objects Of the meeting, add the result was a list of liberal contribu tions, amounting to upwards of 7001. Notwithstanding this display of liberality on the part of the subscribers, it is very problematical whether their zeal in favour of cleaning pavements and streets does not exceed their discretion. As all housekeepers are taxed and as sessed somewhat heavily in their respective districts to the expenses of cleaning the streets, and are, moreover, liable to heavy and pe remptory penalties for • suffering any accumulation of snow or filth before their doors, it would seem that the energies of a pri vate society to do the duty of well-paid public functionaries and the great .mass of the inhabitants of cities and towns is un called for ; and . certainly if a society were formed for rousing the contractors to do their duties, it would be a more effec tive mode td employ its funds for enforcing penalties for their neglect, than to coax them into the performance of them by models of muck machinery, or the distribution of birch brooms to paupers. These amateur experiments have hitherto been productive of little or no benefit ; and, indeed, one gentleman who addressed the meeting ad mitted flitted that the streets of Paris (In which no society as this cf . :la va were better cleaned titan those of this metropolis. What lla by - good done, though it may show that the promoters arc actuated so large good intentions, shows little beyond it.
