D lV. olblo and conduct of the Hen. Gentleman, whilit his regular and active attendance on his Parliamentary dutie?, and strict consistency of conduct, must have wou him the respect of those who were opposed to him. By his friends who sup ported him he wan considered a promising and rising young man, and his death was, therefore, proportionably deplored. The vacancy thus occasioned is proposed to be filled by Henry Rich, Esq., formerly Member for the borough of Knaresborough, also in the county of York, who almost im mediately after the death of Mr. Colborne was announced issued the following circular address amongst the electors, viz.: - "TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE Donouou OF RICHMOND. "Gentlemen,—The lamented death of your late honour able, active, and intelligent Member has suddenly caused a vacancy in your representation. " The vast importance of the measures now before Parlia ment render it expedient that no time should be lost in filling up the vacancy thus mournfully caused. I venture, there fore, gentlemen, to offer myself to your notice, as a friend of your late excellent Member, and as one who entertains d g o u m ra similar political opinions. e nte t e he ofm " The slight acquaintance I have had the pleasure of form ing with the inhabitants of your borough epcourages me in , the hope of extending this intercourse by mutual services ; and I trust that the honour I have already had of represent ing a neighbouring borough in the West Riding may be a honoury political elect c o m n d e u a c s t to refer to my efforts both in and out of Parliament for many years, as an earnest of the zeal I hope to show if you should your 43 representative. shall be my duty, as it will belny pleasure while I watch over the grant interests of oar tiqtatt '. , to pay, special atten tion te e the affairs of this biiiongli, a s r well as to the rights and claims of every individual in it, without respect of per son or of party. My efforts shall ever be in support of that steady, firm, and progressive reform which best preserves all our institutions, by keeping in harmony with the ad vancing education and morality of our countrymen. To this school of substantial improvement of all classes and con ditions of my fellow-subjects and fellow -creatures I adhere without violence and without change. _ I ven t u It et Should these principles and professions meet your appro bation, it shall be my constant endeavour zealously to carry them out, and to prove to you that I will perform as willingly as I can promise. "I will do myself the honour of taking the earliest oppor tunity of paying my respects to every individual elector, and in the meanwhile I beg to subscribe myself, " Gentlemen, your obedient and humble aeryant, " HENRY RICH. _ " Richmond, March 26, 1846." On Friday morning, the 27th ult., it was announced, by the posting of large orange placards (the Whig colour), that Mr. Rich would meet the inhabitants in the Town Hall that and duintroduced Christopher the h Croft,honourable r a Esq., bled e candidate late a t Mayor, e to which was numerously att en d e d b y a ll part i es, Whi gs, Re formers, and Con-form e r s . M r . Ri c h ma d e a most exce ll ent the address, speaking out freely as a Whi g, an d as h o ldi ng t h e same principles as the l a t e l amente d representat i ve of the borough. He introduced a good de a l o f cons tit u ti ona l hi story p m re ee si t d in e g t from the revolution of 1688, and expulsion of the Stuarts, to the present time; of the first Earl of Chatham, and the war which led to the loss of America, and the causes thereof; proceeeded to the times and conduct of Fox and Romilly ; declared himself in favour of general education, and reform of the law, and of progressive reform in all our institutions; denounced the general treatment of Ire land in strong terms, and praised the Lords for reversing, on the appeal, the judgment on O'Connell, &c. &c. The address was well received, and cheered by all parties, and proved in disputably that Mr. Rich was at least a Whig, if not some thing more. A resolution having been moved by Leonard Cooke, Esq., one of the aldermen, to the effect "That the Hon. Can didate was a fit and proper per person to represent the bo rough in Parliament." it was carried amidst the cheers of the assemblage ; and on Saturday (next day) the Hon. Gentleman commenced his canvas, attended by his retained agents, probably representing all the above parties, viz., G. J. Fielding, James Hunton, and Frederick Thirlwall. Esqs., who might all be useful when they came to their re spective friends. The election is fixed for this day, the Bth instant, when the Hon. Gentleman will be proposed by George Smurthwaite, Esq. and seconded by Leonard Cooke, Esq. There is no doubt all will go off with that harmony and general concord which the decidedly liberal principles and conduct of Mr. Rich so well deserve. Mr. Rich, it will be recollected, is generally considered the author of many able political works, pamphlets, &c.: " What Next ; or, what will the Lords do?" " The Conduct and Proceedings of the Reform Ministers to the time of Sir Robert Peel's coming into Office," &c. &c. Mr. E. STURGES CONCERT AT THE HANOVER•SQUARE Rooms.—The annual concert of Mr. E. Sturges, the well known organist of the Foundling, takes place to-morrow evening at the Hanover-square Rooms. Among the vocalists engaged are the Misses Birch, Rainforth, and Maria B. Hawes; and Messrs. H. Phillips, Leffler, Genge, King, Rafter (who made so successful a debid the other day at the Philharmonic), and Atkins. The whole of Haydn's " Creation" will be given, and given in a manner perfectly new in this country, inasmuch as the alto or counter-tenor part will be sung by ladies, as is the case in Germany. The " Creation" will be followed by a selection of new sacred music. Mr. Surman is the conductor, and Mr. Perry the leader. Mr. Sturges presides at the organ. We anticipate a great treat. _ SKETCHES OF ENGLISII CIIARACTERS.—A new work. ander this title, by Mrs. Gore, author of " Mothers and Daughters," " Peers and Parvenus," &c., in two vols., post Bvo., will be published by Mr. Bentley, on Thursday next, the 9th instant.

THE DrsTREsSED NEEDLEWOMEN.—It having been reported that needlework was sent from London to the Ports mouth and Portsea unions, in consequence of the determina tion of most of the London workhouses not to take in any work except at Rill prices, the President and the Hon. Secretary of the above society went down to Portsmouth, and, we are glad to say, received written statements from both the matron and master. setting forth that the guardians (to their honour be it told) prohibited any needlework being taken In at those unions, as it would be inju rious to the pcor who are endeavouring to earn an industrious liveli hood. A grand ball, under distinguished patronage, is to take place at Willis's Rooms on the 24th of this.month, in aid of the funds of the above charity. Among the stewards for the occasion are the namyslof sixteen lords and several Members of the House of Commons. ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, APRIL 7.—lntel ligence has been received at Woolwich of the death of Captain St. John, commanding "the Ist company of the Gth battalion of Royal Artillery, at Jamaica, to which station ho proceeded in November, 1843. The decease of this officer promotes Second-Captain Stace, at present with Captain Griffin's company of the Bth battalion, at Bar badoes, to the command of the Ist company of the Gth battalion, vice St. John. Preparations have been made to-day for the depar ture of Colonel Dyneley, C. 8., Royal Horse Artillery, for Dublin, to take the command at Portobello Barracks, vacant by the promotion of Lieutenant-Colonel Cobbe, Royal Horse Artillery, to be Colonel. Lieutenant-Colonel Ilardinge, K.H., brother of the gallant Governor- General of India, assumes the command of the Royal Horse Artillery at head-quarters at Woolwich. The inhabitants of the town and parish of Woolwich contemplate presenting an address to Lieutenant- General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.B. and (I.CM., on his retirement from the command of the garrison.

They were informed that, agreeably to a circular issued from the War office about three weeks since, they might be permitted, if they con sented to be re-enlisted and attested, to reckon all their former pe riod of service in precisely the same manner as if the original attesta tion had been in all respects regular, so that they might claim their respective discharges and pensions when the proper period for so doing had arrived. We understand that • several privates in the Household Brigade, thus situated, have adopted this plan, and re main in the service of the Sovereign. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—At the ordinary meeting, held on Tuesday afternoon, R. W. Barchard, Esq„ V.P., in the chair, Dr. Lindley drew attention to a new source of supply for the ensuing potato crop, in some specimens, of apparently very good quality, which had been imported from the Azores, where, according to the last accounts, the prevailing diSease had not made its appearance, and a quantity of which was distributed amongst the members. Al though experiments alone could determine whether they were free from the disease, he considered that the present specimens did not exhibit the slightest symptom. Some maize of good quality was also exhibited by Mr. Keeling, brought from the same islands, although the soil of this country held out few hopes for its successful cultiva tion here. The extract from the meteorological register, kept at the gardens, from the 17th of March to the 7th of April, gave—barometer. highest, March 30, 30.116 inches; lowest, April 6, 28.984—thermo meter, highest, March 31,62 degrees Fareulleit ; lowest, March 20, 20 degrees—and quantity of rain, 2'06 inches.

THE EFFECT OF SIR ROBERT PEEL'S MEASURES. -r-It is not a little remarkable, that with the Rill expectation of the alteration in the corn -laws being carried, the price of wheat evinces a disposition to advance, while workmen have in some places struck, and in other places contemplate a strike, for higher wages.

N APRIL 8 1846. A STEAMER RUN DOWN AND ALL HANDS LOST. On Tuesday intelligence was received at Lloyd's, report ing the loss of the Waterwitch towing steam-vessel, be longing to Leith, with all hands, by coming in collison with a schooner, on the night of Saturday last, at the entrance of the Frith of Forth. The Waterwitch, which was a large sized tug, having two engines of twenty-five horse power, left Leith early in the evening, with the intention of pro ceeding to sea, in the expectation of meeting with a vessel that required to be towed up the roads. At half-past, eleven o'clock she was observed abreast of Ofscar rocks, at the entrance of the Frith, by the Vintage from London, a schooner heavily laden, which was beating up for Leith. The master of the schooner, Mr. Anderson, in his report of the accident, states that they saw the steamer a short time before, and the impression on their minds was that those on board her could not have kept a good look-out, other wise they would have avoided the dreadful consequences that ensued. She had a usual signal light, and was steaming at full speed in the direction of the schooner. Mr. Anderson and his crew hailed her, and exhibited a bright lamp. No notice however seemed to be taken, and before there was time to bring the vessel to, both struck with terrific force. The schooner heeled over considerably, 'and, for a moment or two, it was feared she was sinking. The pumps, how ever, showed all was safe, although she bad sustained much injury, the steamer having carried away covered boards, bul warks, and rails. Soon after the vessels had got clear, those on board the Vintage were alarmed by cries from the steamer of " For God's sake, help, help I we are sinking!" They instantly put about in the direc tion the cries apparently proceeded from, but the steamer had disappeared, and they saw only a quantity of wreck floating about. They therefore supposed that she must have foundered immediately after the collision. The schooner was tacked about for some considerable time, in the hope of pick ing up some of her crew, but, not meeting with any, she pursued her passage to Leith, and on her arrival reported the occurrence to the Navigation authorities and Lloyd's agent. Since then the wreck has been discovered lying in fourteen fathom water, within a short distance of the Ofscar Rock. That her crew met with a watery grave there cannot be a doubt; they were, it is reported, six in number—Mr. Pydre, the master, who partly owned the ill-fated vessel,, two seamen, a fireman, and two apprentice boys. Mr. Pydre has left a widow and children. The seamen were married, and have left eight children destitute of support; but it is the intention of several benevolent persons to raise a sub scription in their behalf. PRICE SD. PRINCE ALEXANDRE DE GON ZAGA, ET DE MANTOIJE. • (Translation from the French.) TO HIS EXCELLENCY AL GUIZOT, MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING Or THE FRENCH, AT PARIS. Sir,—Although the policy of your actual Cabinet requires certain concessions towards Austria, and the acquiescence of this power in the views of France relative to the Spanish question, may ultimately tend to the establishment of the Orleans dynasty in Spain ; notwithstanding these considera tions, and many others not less evident, I should not suppose you would wish to render your Government responsible for a most audacious robbery committed in my house, No. 78, Rue St. Dominique, Fauberg St. Germain, Paris, the 27th of No vember, 1845 (after my having resided eight years in France), by the French police, at the instigation of some agents of the Austrian Government, with the intention of carrying off my passport, and all the private documents in my possession, my birth-rights, and those of my family; also printed books, en gravings, decorations, seal of my secretariat, and every article on which the name of Gonzaga was to be found. Although providentially my most important original papers were not amongst the booty they carried off, I pro test that I will not allow a n y such unjust attack upon my interests, and the principles I publicly announced in my pro testation of the 26th of April, 1843, addressed to all the sove reigns of Europe. I demand the restitution of all the objects indicated, more for the advantage of your Government than my own, for it is evident that the intrigant employed in the direction of this plot must have attached considerable inte res ti n t v h e e r eposses sion of these d ocuments, to debase himselfsoas to h a to the pitiful an d unworthy means employe d police; and very littl e consideration for e g i st ty ofsuba thelte French nation to trampl e un d er f oot the laws ofhilscountry, and the sacred rights of hospitality towards a stranger and an exiled prince I It is not in this manner your French exiled princes have been received in the civilised countries of Europe, when de prived of their territories or possessions, they sought a tem porary home in a foreign land ; for myself I had still less reason to expect such a breach of hospitality, having been led to believe, from the proofs I had received from the King of the French and the Duke d'Orleans, and also the assurances of a soi-disant friend of the Royal Family, of whom I intend to speak presently, that the sympathy of the French Govern ment was most entirely mine. I demand by what right the French police (said to be for security) makes an attempt upon private property? By what right is my residence violated, by a troop of persons forcing their entry into it without my permission? By what right is the Charte (I suppose on the laws of the constitution) Constitutionnelle violated by an abominable attack on pri- vate property? By what right is the honour of the French nation outraged? What authority exists in France to put a stop to such heinous offences, and repair such wrongi? The Minister de l'lnterieur at Paris, to whom a complaint was immediately addressed after the shameful attempt above alluded to, declared himself to be in complete ignorance of the whole affair. Even at the Prefecture of the Police, M. Nabon de Vaux, at first extremely insolent in his expressions, acknowledged that an agent from the Austrian Embassy at Paris had been the cause of what had taken place; he ex pressed his regret at so great a violation of the rights de citoyen, and at the unjust means employed by carrying off the passport given and renewed by the order of the Minister for the affairs of the interior during so many years. Indeed he offered to return the passport, and added that all the arti cles seized would be restituted at the end of the week ; when, to my surprise and indignation, I learnt that, instead of ac complishing this promise, a M. Monval, police-officer, had in his possessian my papers, &c., and that afterwards he was boasting of having carte blanche for large sums of money at his command, and a "mission (I cite his own words) de de monitizer le Pt ince de Gonzaga." It appears that his carte blanche extended very far, for, disappointed at only h aving carried off copies of the original documents, and only one ori ginal act, of little importance signed by the Russian Govern ment, this police-officer took upon himself to come with seven men, at seven o'clock in the morning on the 24th of December, 1845, before it was daylight, and force open the door of the apartment where the Princess was sleeping, and to seek in every part of the apartment for me, when, in order to place my original papers in security in a country where the authorities respect the laws, I had left Paris for England thirteen days previously. Thus, although my name has never been mentioned in any political association er party; without having the possibility of extorting even the slightest reproach from the authorities of the French Government at Boulogne, Dieppe, Rocheim, or Niederbronn, where I fixed my residences in order to oc cupy myself entirely with the Princess's health ; without its being in the power of any one even te claim obole from after a residence of eight years in France, a French police-officer finds himself invested with the character of executioner for another Government This fact is still more serious, forming a chain of evidence which will prove-Ist, that since my protestation, already mentioned, there have been five attempts made to obtain the documents which I,h had offered to present in a Congress of Sove reigns, or a Council ofMinisters, composed of the representatives of the five great Powers, in London, and that the names of the persons employed by the Austrian Government are known who are implicated in this disgraceful undertaking. 2dly, that I had no intention of returning from London in 1844, to fix my residence again in France, had it not been that my counsellor, Count Fernig, a general in the service of his Majesty Louis Philippe, King of the French, invited me in the most express manner to meet him at Dieppe, announcing in his letter that my future prospects would be assured by this step. This same Count Fernig came to pay me a visit at Bou logne two years past, offering to place himself at my entire disposal with the utmost devotedness; wishing that every thing should pass through his intervention in my affairs, and that he should be entrusted with the execution of my slight est wishes. He assured me that his Majesty Louis Philippe and the French Government interested themselves greatly in my cause, as being perfectly in alliance with the interests of France! that it was quite in conformity with the views of the French Government that I should grant the Order of the Redemption to the French. In definitive, and to abridge as much as possible details into which I am obliged to enter, during the last two years, not a step has been taken except in concert with the Count, under the firm conviction that we were supported by the King and his Government. In - the month of November last I went to Paris, the Count Fernig having assured me that it would be gratifying to the King and Queen, and other members of the Royal Family, that the Princess and myself were presented at court, when the veil was removed, and, to our extreme astonishment, the Count Fernig, whom I had welcomed as envoys from the King of the French, proved to be a friend of the Austrian Government. I have already declared, and I repeat, that so far from wishing to recede from explanations, I am happy to give any required that are in accordance with my dignity; but Aus tria, who acts always in the most dark and treacherous man ner, not daring to deny openly either my person or my rights, is indefatigably occupied in spreading covertly, by her emis saries, doubts and calumnies regarding me, ever since my mother, the Princess Gonzaga, born Princess Esterhazy, died in 1836. I have hitherto despised these false reports, trusting to the evidence of my private and public life, the latter almost ex clusively military, to speak, as facts must speak, for them selves; but it is time that the truth should assert its rights in the midst of such wilful deceptions, and it is time that historical facts, which Austria perverts wherever her power can be exercised upon the press should be presented to public opinion in their reality. I am, by the grace of God, Prince de Gonzaga Mantoue Castiglione, heir to the Dukes of Mantua and Guastaila, de scendant in direct line from Charlemagne, and a long succes sion of Sovereigns, , who have reigned in Mantua since 1328, when Louis 1., de Gonzaga,was elected by voxpopoli Sovereign of Mantua, as your actual Sovereign was elected in 1830 King of the French ! My country is Italy ! By the mar riage of my grandfather, his Serene Highness Prince Philip Louis de Gonzaga, in England with the Princess de Medina Cecil, in 1760, and the birth of my father, his Serene High ness Prince Joseph Louis de Gonzaga, in 1761, I have the privileges as an Englishman which the laws'of England ac cord under such circumstances. By the marriage of my father, first with the Princess Susoff Countess of Murzynowski, the title of Murzynowski was added to the other titles of our family; by his second marriage with the Princess Juliana Madelina Esterhazy, in 1791, he had three sons, of whom I alone am the survivor. I, Prince Alexander de Gonzaga, &c., was born at Dres den the 12th of November, 1799, and was baptized at Wola by the desire of my . father, according to the inclosed act. I was naturalised in the kingdom of Wurtemberg, in 1833, with the permission of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, and Lieutenant-Colonel in the service of Poland, but in Russian Poland, as I observed to the Prefecture of Police at Paris. Notwithstanding this explanation, and knowing per fectly that my last military service was in Spain until 1838, the chief of the office for foreigners, chose to continue to in scribe my name on the list of Polish, instead of Spanish re fugees. Although, to say the truth, he had no right to en. title me otherwise than citizen of the kingdom of Wurtem berg until 1842, when I offered the demission of my services as subject of the King of Wurtemberg preparatory to my protestation in 1843, claiming my rights as a Sovereign Prince. For the last six years I have been travelling about inde pendently, and without having experienced any molestation with my passport, delivered by order of the Minister for the Affairs of the Interior at Paris, given by M. Delessert, Pre fect of the Police, with the quality Spanish general, the passport signed, as usual, at the Office for Foreign Affairs. How then, Monsieur le Ministre, without informing your self to what extent you might compromise your King and his Ministers in their different correspondences with me since the year 1838—without making any reference to the letters written until 1840, your Government qualifying me Spanish refugee, as I certainly entered France as such on my arrival from Spain in 1838—how, I repeat, could you venture into the crooked policy of the interior of a prefecture of police at Paris, and allow yourself to acquaint M. de Kesseleff, Charge d'Affaires of Russia, at the moment I was reclaimieg some copies of documents from his Government, not wishing to displace the originals, that I could only be considered as a Polish refugee? Those persons who thought proper to make use of you to be the interpreter of this falsehood, have ontmenti, et gravement menti! and have not even the pretext of igno rance, for my protestations have been sufficiently.made known in the public papers and in all the Courts of Europe. Does the French police pretend then to be unaware that I arrived in France about the same time with many other Spanish officers, after having served in the army of Don Carlos in 1837 and 1838? I admit, that whilst waiting for some money I expected to receive from my family, that I accepted a trifling sum of 80 francs from the Office for Stran gers at Paris. I offered to reinabourse this sum at the office at the end of the two months, for which space of time it was given. This does not then appear to be a sufficient motive to excuse the wish of metamorphosing me into a refugee of any nation ; nor for you, Mbnsieur le Ministre, to adopt in consistently a misrepresentation which has net common sense. It is truly a clearly purchased hospitality, I may f lay ; I have received from the French autlim Wes, on arriving kreoenp the Spanish frontier as a Prince and o ffi cer of rank, to give my sabre and two pistols, worth 30,000 francs, a n d to Ki n g of me an allowance of 80 francs. The Secretary of answer the to my the French had written to me in 1840, i re clamation of these articles, that the Min of the Interior was entrusted with this a ffai r, d the until Affairsnow I have not received them. request, and to I profit by this opportunity to reiterate hospitality should have been so treacherously offeredto my express to you my regret that F rench F a r P an. rince whose ancestors h a d e _ er France.

WOLVERHAMPTON, TUESDAY.—We are sorry to find that a sudden and unexpected reaction of trade begins t• mani fest itself in this district. The quarterly meeting of iron masters, which, according to the usual calendar of local events, should have been held at Walsall to-day, has been postponed till next week. This, we believe, is more the re sult of a want of proper arrangement than any desire to gain time before the quarterly prices are determined on ; but the feeling is strong now in favour of considering well whether it would not be advisable to agree to a reduction of terms next week, rather than attempt to maintain present rates, when it is so evidently certain that the great reduc tion in the number of railways projected, must, of necessity, bring about a corresponding reduction in the demand for iron, which at present, and for some time past, has greatly exceeded the supply. The more experienced masters coun sel reduced rates, and a week's breathing time may lead to their counsel being followed ; but the meeting at Birming ham on Thursday will rule this point, as that is the meeting which determines the character of all the others. Nothing can exceed the restless and uneasy state of feel ing which now prevails throughout this district on the sub ject of Sir Robert Peel's free-trade measures. Trade, in fact, is almost paralysed by the delay and uncertainty that attend them ; and unless they become law soon, there will be a season of great distress and feverishness all over the " black country." THE WINDSOR STEEPLE CHASES FIRST DAY (TUESDAY.) The ground chosen by the stewards '(Viscount Neville, Hon. R. N. Lawley, and Albert Ricardo, Rsq.), to be ridden over this year, was in Buckinghamshire, and the start in a meadow about a quarter of a mile from Eton College, the booths being erected in Chalvey field, which, in addition to its being selected as the spot for coming in, commanded an admirable view of the whole line of country. The fences to be taken were sixteen in number, in addition to the Chalvey ditch, and another brook at coming in. Notwithstanding the heavy rains had rendered the ground exceedingly heavy for the horses and disagreeable to the sportsman, the company was more numerous than on any former occasion. The first race was the Household Brigade Cup, value 1001., the remainder in specie by subscription of 10/. each, for horses bond fide the property of officers of the Household Bri gade—viz., Ist and 2d Life Guards, Royal Horse Guards, and the brigade of Foot Guards; gentlemen riders, a winner of 501. public money to carry 51b extra; of 701., 71b; and of 1001., 101 b ; about four miles.

MEMORIAL TO SIR ROBERT PEEL FROM GLASGOW The following memorial appears in the Gasgow Arqus, with the signatures of upwards of 180 of the principal mer chants and firms of that city appended : " To the Right Honourable Sir Robert Peel, Bart., First Lord of her Majesty's Treasury. " The memorial of the undersigned merchants, manufac tui-ers, bankers, and other inhabitants of the city of Glasgow. " Your memorialists cannot view the present state of the money and commercial affairs of the country but with anxiety and alarm—trade and commerce are paralyzed, and there is a want of confidence among parties engaged in business, which are detrimental to the interest of the country. " Your memorialists attribute, in a 'great measure, these evils to the delay in passing the measures introduced by you, on the part of her Majesty's Government to Parliament, for the alteration of the tariff: " Your memorialists therefore earnestly solicit you to adopt such means as may appear to you calculated to insure these measurespassing into a law with the least possible delay." SUICIDES lE . A FA MILY. —Last evening Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the King's Head, Knightsbridge, on the body of Anne Rooke, aged 42. John Blake, police-constable 103 A, said, that while on duty on Saturday evening last in Hyde Park, he heard that a woman had leaped into the Serpentine, near the barracks, on the south side. He ran to the spot, and seeing her bonnet just below the surface of the water, thought there was yet time to save her, and ran in fur that purpose. Unfortunately, just as he caught hold of her, his cape blew over his eyes, and he was compelled to release his hold. She then sank, and was not taken out of the water for eight minutes. She was then quite dead. Several witnesses were exa mined with the view of explaining the cause of deceased's suicide. It appeared that she was a servant, and recently, while out of place, had been residing at No. 5, White Lion-street. Lately she had much regretted having lent 81., a sum she had saved while in service, and on Friday last, having obtained a situation at No. 23, Chester-ter race, said she was sure she should not keep her place long. The money she lent prayed greatly upon her mind. Her brother drowned himself about three years ago, and her mother attempted to destroy herself in the same manner. Deceased had recently been heard to exclaim that she would follow her brother's example. Verdict— Temporary insanity. TIIE NEW STREET -SWEEPER.—Some idea of the effi ciency of this machine (which is now become a regular promenader of certain districts of the metropolis) may be formed, from the fact that, whilst a man can, on the average, sweep not more than 1,500 square yards daily, the machine, worked by one horse, sweeps from 16,000 to 24,000 square yards per diem. The economy of labour is s o great, that one machine will do the work of thirtysix men. Mr. Whitworth, the inventor, agreed to sweep tke streets of Manchester twice as often as under the old system, and at a saving to the town of 5001. per annum. BLACRFRIARS PIER.—The parish of St. Ann, Black friars, in which the whole of Illackfliars-bridge is situate, assessed the " free pier" belonging to the corporation (since indicted as a nuisance and obstruction) to the poor-rate, at a vestry meeting held on the 9th of January, and last week payment of the rate was for mally demanded of the corporation by the collector, and refused. The pier has been assessed on a rateable value of 5001. per annum, and the amount of the quarter's rate demanded is 18/. 155., on an assessment of 9d. in the pound. On Tuesday the city solicitor served notices of appeal against the rate on the overseers of St. Ann, Black friars. The case will be argued at the next Quarter Sessions. AN UNEXPECTED TREASURE —Ou Tueaday morning Mr. John Hamilton, residing in Park-street, Regent's Park, parchased a picket of books at a stall in Holborn. Amongst them was a work entitled, " Observations upon the United Provinces of the Nether lands," by Sir William Temple, Bart., of Shen°, in the county of Surrey, Ambassador to the Hague and at Aix-la-Chapelle in the y.• ar IGGB. On inspecting the volume he discovered 14 guineas of the reign of George I, as well as a letter, which, however, did not refer to the money, nor the reason for placing it in " its secret hiding place," sewed up in one of the covers. IS PRINCE ALBERT TO BE "KING CONSORT ?"—The rumour which was so rife some eight or ten months ago, that it is the desire of an illustrious personage that Ills Royal Highness Prince Albert should assume the rank and title of "King Consort," is not only again revived, but it is stated to be the expressed determination of her Majesty that as little time should be lost as possible in carrying into effect the royal wish on this rather ticklish subject. It is stated that Sir Robert Peel has made a promise, after "feeling his way" among his present, and some of his former most influential sup porters, to introduce the subject at some fitting and opportune occa sion (and at an early period) to the notice of the Legislature.—Rail way !VI.
