The Fairy yacht is in readiness to re. - ceive the Royal party. The Channel squadron, under Vice-Admiral SiiNV Parker. Bart., was off Lisbon on the Bth inst. A pri. - rate letter says, " The country is at present in.a 1 , 07 disturbed state, and there is every chance of its remain ing so for some time. Lisbon is quite in a state of blockade by land, and no one is permitted to go outside the lines. The squadron is still here, and there is no chance of its - distribution ; on the contrary, we expect to be reinforced. The America, 50, Captain the lion. J. Gordon, sailed yesterday to take her station off Corunna. Tho Gladiator steam frigate, Captain Robb, is ordered off to Oporto, to protect British interests there. The Cyclops steam-sloop, Captain Lapidge, remains with us. Co- • lonel Wylde has proceeded to the performance of his mission. The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay.. leaves to-day with Commodore Sir J. G. Bremer (whose pendant she flies), and the Marquis of Chandos,for Eng- land. he squadron at present under Sir W. Parker, off Lisbon, consists of the:Hibernia, 100 (his own flag ship); the Rodney, 92; the Albion, 90; The Canopus, 84; the Superb, 80; The Trafalgar, 120; and the steamers Gladiator, Rattler, Cyclops, and Polyphemus. The Vanguard is expected to join." ARRIVAL OF THE TERRIBLE, STEAM -FRIGATE.-- The Tenrrble, steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, arrived at Devonport on Thursday night, from Lisbon, and on the following morning, displaying the broad pendant Of Coin modore Sir J. Gordon Bremer, she saluted the flagof the commander-in-chief, which was reterned by the flag-ship Queen. The gallant commodore struck his broad pen nant and went on shore on Friday. The Terrible has brought home all the supernumerary marines from the Channel squadron, She went into Barnpool, and landed those belonging to the Plymouth division. She will proceed to Portsmouth and Woolwich with the re mainder. She has some defects in her machinery.. This vessel sailed from Malta on the 4th of October, at half. past three o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived at Gib raltar on the morning of the 9th, having on board 940 • bags of bread,. 116 puns. of rum, 10 half-hogsheads of suet. 60 barrels of peas, 200 half hogsheads of cocoa, and 37 chests of tea. The distance ran over from Tetuan to Malta was 1,000 miles in 941 hours ; the average rate was 10-5 knots per hour, with two boilers, only half steam, both is going to and coming from Malta. The wind being ahead the sails were not used ; her expendi ture of coals was 194 tons, giving 5.1 knots for each ton of coals used ; the coals were very bad, which caused the consumption to be about 20 tons more than it would have been with good coals, as it would then have been only 174 ton,. By this it will be seen that the Terrible is not so expensive as the lesser steam vessels of 250-horse power, which burn two tons per hour, and only go from eight to nine knots, the Ter rible only burning one ton fur 5.1 knots per hour. In going over 730 miles, to keep company with the Retri bution, the time occupied was 901 hours; in going over the same distance alone, with two boilers, only half steam, it was 71 hours, notwithstanding the deep immer sion of the ship, and her being out of trim, by the pro visions she had on board, in addition to her full complement of coals, of which she was short only about 50 tons. The Terrible, since leaving Spithead, has steamed nearly 9,000 miles, and sailed alone, without steam, mote than 46 days, which has caused a great saving of expense in fuel, and, notwithstanding what her enemies may have asserted. she has cost less in building and fitting for sLa than either the Retribution or the Avenger, which vessels are some hundreds of tons less, and only carrying guns on one deck—the Terrible car rying very heavy guns on two decks, a much greater quantity of coals, and double the quantity of shot, powder, and shells.

John Constable, 43 L, deposed that about ten o'clock on that day, while, on duty at the Tower -street station'- house, a person came in, and requested his immediate attendance at a coffee-house in the Waterloo-road, where a young sailor had poisoned himself. He instantly pro ceeded to the house, and, finding 'the prisoner in a sleepy state, he Went in - pursuit of a tridical naafi. The first shop he went into he was asked if it was not a young sailor who bad destroyei himself ? and, ou asking Them why they should know the fact, they told him that a young o gsa re il e or fpe h n ad nyw he o e ro been there hud reasithnourttnt,imbeutbethfoe7retofusrced gto serve him. He subsequently removed the prisoner to Guy's Hospital, when the stomach pump was used, and she became sufficiently recovered to take her to the station-house, when he had the charge booked against her. From the statement she had made to him (the constable), it appeared that she was the daughter of a respectable veterinary surgeon, residing at Clutton, Somersetshire, and having b , come enamoured of a pri vate soldier belonging to the 37th Regiment of Foot, she had left her home, and had latterly lived at Chatham, where her lover was quartered. The regiment had lat terly been ordered on foreign service, and was about to sail for Ceylon, and prisoner, discovering that the object of heraffections was to proceed thither by the ship Minerva, lying in the East India Dock, she sold her female appa rel, at a great sacrifice, and purchased the sailor's clothe she then had on. She then went to the registry for seamen, and procured a registry note in <the name of David ook. She next went 'on board the Minerva and .arered herself to the captain as a cabin boy, but to her great mortification found that the captain had shipped all hands on board and therefore did not require her services. Foiled in her object in accompanying her lover she had resolved upon committing suicide, and her first intention was to have thrown herself off one of the bridges ; this she should have done, she said, had she not been told by a sailor boy that she brought with her from Chatham that the Thames was so excessively crowded with craft that the probabilities were that she would drop on to one of them, breAlt her bones, and die a lingering death. She then made up her mind to take poison, and procured a small quantity of poison at different shops, all of which she swallowed off with some coffee, before the constable found her. The witness here handed to the Bench a letter, which Mr. Norton read, and of which the following is a copy:— " Dear Thomas,—l have overstepped the bounds of prudence and modesty, in hopes of being able to reach Ceylon with you. I have put on boy's apparel and come to this sink of iniquity, London, to enter the '° Minerva" as a boy, but when I got here, the captain had shipped ail his bands. I have tried to get on board several ves sels, but cannot, on account of not being able to find money enough to provide enough of clothes to get to sea. I have sold all my own to get what I have on, and have no money to get others. I have no friends here, no place to go to—but I cannot blame anybody but my self! Think of me no more, Thomas, as it is useless— you will never see nor hear from me again. Remember, me to Harriet and Charles. Don't make yourself un easy about me. I have no more to say, but remain yours, till death, Admission Is. Schools, half-price. IC.T OR IA P A It K.

The examination, which commenced on the Ist .cf October, originated in a somewhat singular manner, affording another proof how " strange events from little causes spring." Some time in September, a farmer, named Badcock, addressed Mr. Fowler, maltster, of this town, and congratulated him on the extensive business he was doing. Ft:4ler replied, that he believed he had his share. BadcOck rejoined,, he should think more than his share to be at work all night, and sending malt out at three or four o'clock in the morning. Fowler expressed his ignorance of such a fact, when Badcock told him that he had himself seen his horse and cart out at that early hour, with two of his men. • This circumstance caused in g uiai e . to be math., Lltc result of vw141,11. was tLebt 1.31 a grtrve was identified as one of the'men who had been seen with the cart, and he was taken into custody, when he made statements which led to the detection of other persons, his confederates in crime, and to the exposure of as extraordinary a case of plunder carried on without detection for the long space of six years as was ever pre sented before a court of justice. Blagrove is what.is called a general dealer. Jones and read were confiden tial servants to Miss Spendlove, a wealthy lady, who has a large malting-house and brewery ; the Edneys and Trinder being in the employ of Mr. Fowler. h s o i p g s ned an to d eitmieisseosf malt, on andc Blagrove, who, with the assistance of the other prisoners coals, appearsu,ere taken ht froth i ge thqeua premises always managed to dispose of them, sometimes by re moving the property in boats down the river in the dead of the night, taking it away in hired carts, or conveying it to some hiding-place until opportunity occurred to more profitably dispose of it. Blagrove purchased from time to time the silence and assistance of his subordi nates by money, but it would seem did not find his chief tainship to be of a very enviable kind, as he was con tinually threatened by one or the other unless he yielded to their pecuniary demands. Strange and almost incredible as it may seem, Bla grove on several occasions absolutely had the impudence and hardihood to sell the very property which he had stolen at the current marketable price to the parties of whom it had been stolen.

Sec Also to divert, alter, widen, and improve such parts of the pre sent streets, roads,• courts, alleys, and ways, as will form entrances into the said last mentioned new street or road, which said new street or roq,l is proposed to be made in or to pass • through or into the parish of Saint Matthew, Bethnal green, in the said county of Middlesex. The Governor, however, is not the great prize for which the political parties are contending. The ques tion—and the important question—is, who shall have a majority of the Members of Congress from this state ? Because, in the next House of Representatives the tariff will be under consideration, and the men to be elected next Tuesday will have to vote on that question. Be sides, from the convulsed state of parties, it is highly probable that the next President will be designated by the Congress now being chosen. If no one candidate for the office of President of the United States has a majority of all the electoral votes given, then the House of Representatives, in Congress assembled, shall proceed to elect a President, voting by states; that is to say, each state in the union shall have one vote, and no more. A majority of the representa tives in each' state shall decide the vote of , the state. Thus, you perceive, Delaware, with only one representa tive, has the same power in deciding this question that New York has with her thirty-four representatives. Of the thirty-four representatives, I think the Whigs will have a majority. About one-third of the whole number of states have already chosen Their members of Congress. In not one of the states who have voted has the Locofoco party gained a member; but, on the contrary, in the ten states which have elected, while the Whigs have gained ten, their opponents have lost fonrteen members, viz.:— In the present Congress the Locofocos have, from Maine, Vermont, Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, 55 well proved that it only remains to remove her lower floats from the wheel, and she is equal, if not superior, to many real sailing men-of-war, and would show an advantage over them in pursuing the enemy's fleet, by putting on her floats and getting up her steam. From her speed she would soon come up with and disable their rear, so as to enable the English line-of-battle ships to come up and bring . them to action ; and then be found of the greatest importance to a fleet in towing a bad sailing ship up to a fleet, or a disabled ship'lrom the line of battle when incapable of performing her duty. The Avon steam-surveying vessel, Commander Den ham, arrived at Devonport on Thursday evening from the coast of Africa, whereon she has been employed sur veying. She is last from Sierra Leone, and reports the station and squadron healthy. And also to form and make a new street or road from the turnpike at the junction of the Hackney-road and Cambridge heath-road, to commence at the west end of Prospect-place, and to run from thenee in an eastward direction along Prospect-place, to the west end of the Biahop's-road, and from thence in a northward direction to a bridge about to be built over the Regent's Canal, at the end ofJobn-street, to communicate with the road formed or intended to be formed across the north-west corner of Victoria Park, to Grove street-lane, Hackney. , Also to divert ; , alter, widen, and improve such parts of-the present streets, roads,- - eourtir; alleys, and ways as will form entrances into the said lust befote mentioned new street or i oad, which said new street or road is proposed to be made in or to pass from, through, or into the several parishes of Saint Matthew, Betbnal-green, and Saint John, Hackney, in the said county of Middlesex. And in the said Bill powers will be contained for the compulsory purchase of all such houses, buildings, lands, and hereditaments, as may be necessary for carrying the several purposes aforesaid into execution. • 'Upwards of forty witnesses have been examined at great length, but the above • is- an outline of the case, which is now nearly brought to a conclusion, as far as regards the preliminary inquiry. The evidence affect ing Mr. Miller is chiefly his own statement, made in the presence of the other prisoner, which is as follows: Ipswich. Cheltenham and Gloucestershire Bank, Cheltenham. Union Bank, York. National Provincial Bank, Exeter. "M. R. COOK. "London, November 14, 1846. " Charles 'White said he was in a coffee-house in Waterloo-road that forenoon, and perceiving a strong smell of laudanum, he looked about to see if any person was taking any. Immediately after he saw the prisoner with her hand on the table, and in a drowsy state. He shook her up and asked her if she had taken anything, and she replied that she had swallowed poison. He then sent for the constable, and the prisoner was removed to Guy's Hospital. Mr. NORTON here remarked that he was not aware that the laudanum would have so instantaneous an effect upon a person taking it, and a medical gentle man present replied that it would not, particularly when taken in coffee.

William Miller—l am n brewer in St. Ebbe's-street, Oxford. I have known Blagrove since the 27th of Ja nuary lust, when he came to my brewery and inquired for me. I was not at home, but he showed my brewer a sample of malt which he was selling. He called again when I was at home, and produced some malt in a sample bag which he said he would sell me cheap, and that I should have five quarters for 13/. I said, I thought I had sufficient malt by me, but I would give him 121. 10s. for it. Re said he could not take that, but re L les traes tt half je- Pre ii,,,epeaurtit /tar after al% Years. The command of the Anierica, 50, vacant by the re tirement of Captain the Hon. J. Gordon, has been con ferred upon Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, 1837, who was commander of the Tweed on the north coast of Spain during the civil war, 1836 and 1837; Captain of the Wellesley, and commanded her seamen and marines in quelling an insurrection on the coast of Malabar in 1833; in the operations on the coast of Sinde, and in the Persian Gulf, 1839; and those on the coast of China, including the capture of the forts of the Bocco Tygris, and operations against Canton, and commanded a bri gade of seamen at the taking of that city.

In our remarks upon the promotion of Lieutenant Lord Amelius Wentworth Beauclerk to the rank of Commander on Saturday, we erroneously stated his Lordship was a son of Admiral Lord Amelius Beauclerk.

The fact, she said, was, that she was so much alarmed about her sex being discovered that from the time she had put on her present apparel till the present she had not taken them off.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. - " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Bwau-strcet, itormigh, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than it ever was before the baldness appeared, " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the VilltteS of Mr: G.'s Ragenator, fkQling &Oared that many ladies would gladly purchase an lie. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only In the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feelpjasere in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.---:3, Bwan-stren, lioi'oil i.' In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops oa the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drone on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl, The most'delicate ladies may lase this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the erown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair. --See pamphlet of testimonials.

So far as the elections have progressed these are the results. The public journals which accompany this letter will afford you ample details of the movement of the Ameri can army. Since my last letter nothing of any importance has been heard from General Taylor ; but, as the Pre sident has ordered him to disannul the armistice which huAntered into with General Am ee pudia, we may shortly .uuring int o as 45 nours ty. rumours, General on which s ch littleaata Anna relian had arrivedceeanbeplacaetds. ai l ti t uo is said that with an army of 13,000 troops, which, added to those under Ampudia, would embody a force exceeding 20,000 men. No confidence, or very little, is placed in this rumour. General Santa Anna may have left the city of Mexico, but not with an effective force of more than 4,000 bayonets. A Mexican brig of war, while lying in the port o f Mazatlan, was captured by five launches from the Ame rican sloop of war Warren. As soon as the Mexicans discovered that they were to be attacked, they aban doned their vessel and fled. On the meeting of Congress early in December, it is generally supposed that the tariff of 1846 will be as - ,saulted. If it is, there is not the least prospect of rue - cess. And every attempt to procure a repeal, or a material alteration, will be defeated. Even if a Bill for such purpose should pass the House which is hig:hly improbable, it would be lost in the Senate. The t; miff question may therefore be considered settled for at le wit 18 months to come. Congress at their last session authorised the callftng out 50,000 volunteers to invade Mexico. Subsequentlir 25,000 were deemed ample, and their services to t extent were accepted. After the three actions that b ve been fought, the last the capture of Monterey, the in pression became general that the remaining 25,00 0 would be forthwith ordered into service. We are n told, however, that no further requisition will be mad until after Congress have c onvene d . This notification. :Is given demi-officially, and has excited much inquiry an I conversation in certain Administration circles. Evur. citizen gives his own explanation of the case. A majo - rity seem to consider that no further call is made beam is e the American army is already sufficiently strong to effi tc t the object the Government has in view. I have adif - ferent opinion, which I will give you. The question recurs—What is the reason that t • President does not make a demand upon the seve cal states for an additional volunteer force? My reply is, because the Government is not prepared with the nem Is. • sary funds to meet such an event. When the war cor.a menced there was in the Treasury 12,000,000 dolls. u re employed, with a tariff in operation producing at let tst half a million of dollars per month more than all the tie mands upon the Treasury in time of peace. In additi. to which Congress authorised the issuing 10,000,000 of Treasury notes, bearing an interest of 6 per cent., ar 10,000,000 of 6 per cent. stock. It is not yet six mont ha since the war expenditures commenced, and what is t ht state of the Treasury? The 12,000,000 of surplus it expended—the whole of the revenue collected sin ct May is gone—about 3,000,000 of Treasury notes ha v'i been issued—and a war debt of at least 20,000,000 do) has been contracted and remains unpaid, to meet whi cb the Government has a little short of 3,000,000 doll: - i. thus showing an actual expenditure of 40,000,000 do' as. in less than six months. i 1 4; r na e ul an Now, what is to be done in the next six months ?

' Ale ROYAL COLLEGE or SonaroNs.—At a meetir gof the Court of Examiners, on Friday evening, the 13th instant, the following gentlemen having undergone the necessary examinations, were admitted members of this college, viz.:—Messrs. Joseph M Keand, Manche . John Bassett, Leicester; William Hatton, Egerton, r a e n r : cashire; Thomas Edward Pearce Martin, Hull; NA /alter Winter Walter, Stoke under Ham ; Robert t' imith, Mumby-cum-Chapel, Linco l n shire;_ and_ Roydon , jack son, Manchester. The fl u nterian Museum at tn is col lege was, on Friday last, honoured by a visit fr Prince Louis Napoleon, who spent upwards ( om the hours in inspecting h t_e magnificent collection, w ,f three itich was Professor 0 described to his Royal I:Ugliness by nim. taken on my truck to my malthouse in St. Aldate's, by Jackson, my man. I paid Blagrove in gold and sil ver. It was about eleven o'clock in the morning when this occurred. There was a man with Blagrove, to whom, I think, he gave part of the mOkey. On the 29th of July Blagrove came to my malthouse again, and said he had a pocket of hops and some malt he would sell me ; would Igo and look at it ? I went with him to the Aiichor Inn, and saw the malt in the stable. f or b st i i k t p, much there way. He said, ." Five quarters followed me, and said; woUrd tb e in he would have a few barrels of beer, as he thought he could get me a customer or two in Abingdon. After a few words a bargain was struck that I should have them for 211.; Blagrove to have a barrel and a half of ale and one barrel of strong beer, the remainder to be paid in cash. I then went with him and my man to the Anchor, and fetched away the malt and hops in my truck. While we were removing Blagrove said, " Have you any silver, Mr. Miller?" I said, " Yes." He said, " Will you give me half-a-crown?—l want it to pay the hostler for warehouse room." I did so, and took the malt and hops home to my brewery. I gave Blagrove a cheque on Messrs. Wootton's bank for 15/. 155., and he was to let me know when he would have the beer. He after• wards sent word that he would take three barrels of beer, which made a difference of 4s. 6d. in favour of Blagrove, to whom I after Wards sent the beer and 4s. 6d. by Mr. Payne's waggon. This bargain was re duced to writing, and signed by Blagrove, on a blank leaf of my brewing-book, and I have now a copy of it. These were the only two transactions I had with Bla grove. I did not understand how long the malt and hops had been at the Anchor, but from seeing him pay half-a-crown for the warehouse room, I thought it had been there some time. The evidence implicating Evans was that of Samuel Tyte, formerly hostler to Mr. Crosier, of the Wheatsheaf Inn, St. Aldate's, Oxford, who remembered Blagrove bringing malt to the Wheatsheaf, which-was put into sacks, and the empty ones taken away by Bla grove. The malt thus brought was fetched away by Mr. Evans's people. Evans used to come when Blagrove was there, but had never seen him at any other time. Whiteing, the carrier, sometimes brought malt there for Evans. It was generally removed the same day. Bla grove brought a horse and cart there, with four sacks of malt, about six months ago. Witness never remem bered hops being brought there but once, obout five years ago. Blagrove always paid bim for his trouble. There were never less than two sacks brought at a time. Should think about twenty quarters had been brought there altogether. Witness never knew any one except Mr. .Toel Evans's men take away the malt brought by Blagrove. John Hambidge and Richard Brooks deposed to similar facts ; and Whiteing, the Oxford and Abingdon carrier, proved having taken malt in sacks to the Wheatsheaf fur Blagrove and Evans. The prisoner Blagrove questioned all the witnesses in the most impudent manner, interlarding his questions with such ;expressions as, " what a pretty figure you'll cut before the judge, if you go with that tale ;" " I won't be transported by myself : we'll have it right; I'll draw others into it as well." Addressing the witness Tyte, on Friday, lie said, " I'll keep you here until 10 o'clock at night. I'll put it in you worth the money to-morrow. I'll give it you tidy. If you swear until you are black in the face, you will only be a liar. I shall stand up before the judge from morning till night, so I tells ye." John Hazen deposed, that Blagrove had frequently hired his horse and cart at a very early hour in the morning to remove malt, which he told him on one occa sion came from Miss Spendlove's, but there was so much there that it would not be missed. It is calculated that Blagrove has plundered to the amount of several hundred pounds. Mr. Brunner, solicitor of Oxford, made application to admit Miller to bail, as lie was prepared with sureties to the amount of 5,0001. or 6,0001. ; but uuder present circumstances the magistrates did not feel justified in doing so. • HEREFORD.—Mr. William H. Cooke, of the Ox ford circuit, has been appointed, by the Dean and Canons of Hereford, to succeed the late Sir Charles Wetherell as counsel to that cathedral. THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER COMMISSION.—With reference to the paragraph which appeared in a morning contemporary, relative to the formation of a permanent committee for the control of the financial affairs of the Duchy of Lancaster, we understand that the scheme had been in contemplation for a considerable time previous to the change of Ministry ; and that in thus assimilating the practice to that in force in the Duchy of Cornwall, the sole object was to ensure a full and competent super vision of the revenues without in any way interfering with the political management or patronage of the Duchy. The new Commissioners are Earl Spencer, Lord Portman, Sir James Graham, and the Earls :of ilardwicke and Lincoln. Lord Campbell continues to preside as Chancellor of the Duchy, with the exclusive control of the patronage.—Observer. ATTEMPTED ENORMOUS BRIBERY OF A RAILWAY OFFICIAL. —We understand that some singular disclo sures are likely to occur respecting an attempt to bribe a railway official of high standing to betray the interests of his company. We are in a position to state that the sum offered was 25,0001. ! The offer was, however, re ject( d with indignation.—Sunday Times. [Our Contem porary is perfectly correct. The terms offered were "20,000 1 . or 25,0001., to purchase the gentleman an es tate, and enable him to ietire." We are in possession of the whole facts of the case, and know that the party who made the offer had a narrow chance of being thrown out of the window, and having his neck broken, by the official to whom the insulting and scandalous offer %NEW made. —Morning paper.] OPENING OF THE TUNNEL AT PENMAEN BACH. (From the Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald.) Our report of the festive celebration consequent upon the opening of the railway tunnel through Penmaen Bach will be perused with deep interest. Next to the erection of a bridge over the Menai Straits, that should be in every respect unobjectionable, the cut ting through the hard rock of a promontory, so formid able as Penmaen Bach, was considered to be the greatest difficulty in the construction of the entire line. Yet now —and, as will be seen, in less than half the time origin ally contemplated as necessary—an opening has been effected through the very heart of the hill. Operations, thus successfully outstripping even the quick march of ardent expectation and sanguine hope, are deserving of marked encomium ; and, we feel as sured that neither the enterprising will that undertook the task, the engineering mind that presided over the operations necessary to effect it, nor the steady untiring toil by which it has been accomplished, can be too warmly eulogised. Contractor, engineers, and men, are alike deservint of all praise. The tunnel is a curve of about six hundred and thirty yards in length, being the arc of a circle of half a mile in radius. In other words its curve is between one-eighth and one-ninth of a circle a mile across—its curvature is therefore very gradual—in fact so gradual as to look like a straight line when inspected in detail from within. The span of the tunnel is ample, and its sides and roof are well and finely hewn, so as to present. no unsightly ridges, or suggest the least idea of danger. The stone is hard, solid masonry of nature's own cementing—gigantic basaltic blocks, the anhydrous fused result of the creative power that has pervaded the bygode eternity : and their hard ness and intractability formed the prime difficulty in the undertaking. This difficulty was much increased by the impossibility of constructing shafts or openings from above. None but lateral openings could be brought to bear. Five openings, however, were drivLn side ways into the hill, and when the workings had reached that length which was deemed to indicate a junction with the line of the tunnel, double sets of men were put on to work away right and left. The result evinced the ac curacy of the observations that had been made ; and practice showed the truth of the theory that guided it. In all the parts the working proved correct, the different gangs meeting without the slightest fault. Air and daylight are now dancing in the bosom of the mountain, holding their railway jubilee. The completion of the work is going on with vigour, for Mr. Cropper is not a man to rest too long upon his oars ; and we trust that the period will not be remote at which we shall have again the pleasing task of inspect ing the perforated hill to report the full completion of ;s tunnel. TIIE SANATORY CONDITION OF WESTMINSTER IMPORTANT NOTICE.—On Saturday a very importan notice was issued by the churchwardens and governors of the poor of the united parishes of St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster, which will have a most salutary effect in that most densely-populated part of West minster. The churchwardens state their intention of strictly carrying out the provisions of an Act of Parlia ment passed in Auguit last, and they have appointed an inspector for that purpose. The Act in question gives the power to the churchwardens, upon the certificate of two medical men that a nuisance by drains, cesspools, or filth, which may be dangerous to the public health, exists in any lane, court, street, alley, or dwelling-house or building, to summon the parties before two of her Majesty's justices of the peace, who, upon being satis fied of the existence of either of the above offences, have authority to order the same to be removed, and the dwelling, &c., to be whitewashed, cleans ed, or t h eTh,s nuisance abated in whatever way they may direct is to be done within a time enacted b y the j u stices, a n d el_ if not completed in that period t he magistratet h ecmaselves . power the persons laying the c om p lai n t, by noreetdhfeuilr cleansse r v a i n n t g s , d t n o n e, o enter r d t i h re e t p i n re g ra premises, , r e a m n n d v a h l a o v e f a a i l l l thenuisan i c n es t ; h a is nd actw will tbpe a rovidlieasbtlheattoanayoenneaolbtys,trourcltionig them , and not less than 0/. for each offence. Ihe second sec tion of the Act empowers the magistrate to give an order for all the costs aril expenses incurred in any proceeding of the above nature, and upon non-payment an order of distress is to be issued on the goods of the owners or occupiers. When it is recollected the abodes of filth and misery there are in the lowest parts of We,t minster, it will be seen what goad can be effected by a vigilant prosecution of this Act. Other parishes would do well to follow the example. DEATH or LADY HAMILTON.—Her Ladyship died at her residence in James-street, St. James-park, on Friday last, at an advanced age. her health bad d,- dined during the last two years, but her active mind and cheerful disposition were the cause of her fsmily being unprepared for the sorrowful event whieh fisted a short illness. Lady Hamilton was the relict o 1 the late Colonel Sir Ralph Hamilton, of Olivestob,N. 8., and forvuerly of the 3cl Foot Guards. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 14.—The Terrible, Captain Wil liam Ramsey, bearing the broad pennant of Sir James John Gordon Bremer, came in here yesterday morning from Lisbon. Left the Tagus at 9 in the evening of Sunday last, the Bth inst. The Marquis of Chandos, who has had a three months' cruise in her, landed on iweensaancr 4 7(TCY'S`tip a eii3ttiMair leaTlifiklY.AftkitStiCa,T; or 70 invalids from the squadron. She is spoken of in very high terms, and would probably have made the pas sage from Lisbon to Plymouth in 72 hours but for an accidental fracture of the entablature of her larboard engine, in the Bay of Biscay, just after passing Cape Fiuisterre. When under canvass with the feet she beat the Queen, Rodney, Albion, and other sailing ships, and was excelled only by the Trafalgar and Superb. The Confiance steamer, Mr. Jagoe master, has taken from the Terrible all the supernumerary marines belong ing to the Stonehouse division. The Terrible goes from ,this port to Woolwich, where, and at Portsmouth, she will land the marines attached to the divisions stationed at those places. Her Majesty's screw •steamer Encounter, without ma chinery, and under canvass, in charge of Mr. Davey, Assistant-Master-Attendant, left Pembroke Dockyard the same day as her Majesty's sloop Mariner, 16, in charge of Mr. Mills, Assistant-Master-Attendant, and arrived here three days before her. The sloop is a .sharp-bottomed vessel, built according to the plan of 'Captain Symonds. The steamer is built for the recep tion of machinery, wall-sided, and fiat-bottomed, but .sharp at the bow. If any weight is to be attached to this trial, it completely explodes the pre- conceived notion ,of sharp buttoms and swift sailing. The Mariner is bound to this dockyard. The Encounter is gone up 'Channel. WOOLWICH, Nov. 14.—The Amphion, 36-gun frigate, Captain Williams, is to be taken into dock before finally leaving this port. The Sidon .steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, C. 8., is taking her coals on board, and is expected to leave next week for Portsmouth. The Geyser steam -vessel, Commander Brown, will leave Woolwich about the 20th inst. fur the East Indies. She is to be supplied with a 10-feet gun of 75cwt. on her main deck. The Grappler steam: vessel, Lieutenant Lysaght, ap pointed to her, vice Hawker promoted, was undocked on Monday, and is ready for sea. It is expected she will sail for the coast of Africa in a day or two. The Lightning, Mr. Petley, Master-Commander, left on Wednesday, for Sheerness, to bring up a receiving ; ship to this port. is appointed Superm untaiennStiratEtte,aArddPmairraryl,,y,Controller of the Steam Captain !po ten r rt . e af i V c !!oyal Clarence Victualling-yard at Goa- Rear-Admiral Francis Beaufort is to retain the office of Hydrographer at the Admiralty, as his promotion will not deprive the Admiralty of his valuable services. Colonel Mercer, of the Royal Marines, will take the com mand of the Plymouth divi - i ' on, and Colonel Aslet, at present atPlymouth, the command of the Portsmouth division. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Teazer, fitted with a screw propeller, was again tried down the river yester day (Friday), previously to her being delivered over to the Government by the contractors. The result was by no means satisfactory, and a further trial will be made in a few days. Vessels in the Harbour—William and Mary yacht ; Black Eagle, Grapple, and Plover steam-vessels ; and Amphion and Sidon steam-frigates. In the Basin—Geyser, Medea, Rosamond, Fearless, Dwarf Tartarus, Ariel, and Monkey steam-vessels. It; the Dock—Vixen steam vessel.
