Rawlings, of Bamford, for the Li berals. In the parish of Romford, Mr. Joseph Collin, surgeon, of North-street, was objected to by the Liberals, on the ground that he did ndt pay sufficient rent to entitle him to be on the register. Mr. Collin stated that he had been eight years in oc• cupation of his house, and paid GU per annum rent for it. Seven years ago, just before the election, a similar objection was made to his vote, and he attended before the Revising Barrister, and the objection was disallowed. As he had been taken away from his profession, that of a surgeon, on so frivolous and vexatious an objection, especially as he wrote to the persons objecting on the 14th, stating that he held the same qualification he did seven years back, that it was a case in which costs should be allowed. After hearing the Laarned Gentleman for and against the application, The BARRISTER awarded Mr. Collin 10s. for his loss of time. Upon cross-examination he admitted that no consi deration money had been paid, or that the rent had been received by the claimants. Mr. Spence submitted that in that case the names must be expunged. Mr. ESPINASSE thought there ought, in all cases of rent-charge, to be a payment either of a penny or half penny as s, isin, it being an incorporeal hereditament, which should be paid before the 31st of July last. In this case there was no actual payment of the rent, or anything in lieu of it, prior to the 31st of July. On that ground he was of opinion the names must be expunged, but independently of that point, there was no considera tion in the deed of rent-charge, and as it did ❑ot appear any money or other consideration had pissed, it was clear the ease came within the Splitting Act. The names were consequently expunged. The following is the result of the day's revision:— Claims by Liberals 5O Claims by Conservatives • 59 Liberals struck out 36 Conservatives struck out 116 95 Majority on the day's revision, 21; previous majority, 221—total, 242. The Court rose at five o'clock, and will sit this day, at he Shire Hall, Hertford, at ten o'clock. EAST SURREY. Mr. Fyshe held his Court yesterday at the Town-hall, Croydon, in order to revise the list of voters for that parish. The same agents attended as at Reigate. There were a great number of objections, but they were prin cipally grounded upon mis .description of the parties in the qualification, and in most of the cases the barrister amended the list. There was no point of the least im portance discussed during the day. The following is the result of the day's revision : Conservative objections, 17; sustained, 15; failed, 2. Liberal objections,' 30; sustained, 21; failed, 5; with drawn, 4.

Our attention has been called to a large printed paper, headed, in conspicuous characters, "Jersiais, Lisez I ! purporting to be an extract from L'Epoque, Paris journal, of the 9th September, 1846. The article con sists of four long columns, and its seditious and treason able character will he seen from the following summary of it. It first alludes to the visit of her Majesty and Prince Albert to Guernsey on the 24th August, and de clares that it was done with a political motive, " to calm resentment, and to prepare the way for important alterations, which it had been foreseen were not to take place, without resistance. This resentment was caused by the Lieutenant-Governor, Major-General P. W. Napier, and the alterations in the destruction of the national language, Franco-Norrnandie, the Norman customs, to substitute the English laws." It then states, that " England had accomplished these altera tions as much as she could in Madras, Quebec, Malta, Corfu, St. Lucia, and at the Mauritius, in spite of the formal terms of treaties and capitulations; and argues, that as Jersey is not a conquest, it only acknowledges of the three powers of the Baitish empire, but one ; the King or the Queen, and that only as Duke or Duchess of Normandy." It then goes on to establish historically, that the Channel Islands belonged to France, and then enumerates their advantages, and continues, that " they are situated nearer to France than England, too weak to form by themselves two completely independent states, in consequence of which they are obliged to acknow ledge the protectorate of one or the other country. Their possession is of great importance in time of war ; they have belonged to France, they have French man ners, French language, and laws ; England then has been obliged to make it an El Dorado, to prevent them th`rowing themselves into the arms of France. That which has not been dared for eight hundred years with out almost incessant strife is wished to be now attempt:A. Encouraged by ✓ peace,, which has existed thirty years, and which promises to last longer, the English Govern ment wishes to naturalise these old remains of an ex tinguished people, and assimilate them to England, in regard to language and law." The writer then proceeds to speak of the acts of the Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey, giving him plenty of abuse ; and continues in a similar strain throughout. Now. this article appearing in a Paris paper, would have mattered but little, for none here either knows or cares what L'Epoque may say, but it is quite another matter when these sentiments are republished here for the purposes of sedition and treason. If Jerseymen, seeing, reading, and knowing the tendency of this ar ticle, have caused it to be printed, published, and ex tensively circulated, they have gravely compromised themselves. To make it attractive it is headed, " Jer saieis Lisez!" and at the end is also in large charac ters, "Soyez sur vos garde; le serpent est sous lee fleurs"— Be upon your guard, the serpent is under the flowers. This matter requires the immediate interference of our authorities. _ _ It is stated that a meeting of the British residents is contemplated, to express their abhorrence of the above infamous publication—at which all loyal Jerseymen will be requested to attend.

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 18.—Yesterday a Cabinet mes senger arrived here with dispatches from his Majesty the King. It is now certain that hiS Majesty will not return to this town before the 25th of this month. The Leenio steamer, in which the King is to return, is to be at Dusseldorf on the 21st. According to a letter from New York, of the 21st of August, the Secretary of the Treasury has given the necessary instructions to the receivers of customs, im mediately to carry into effect the Bill of the 3d of Au gust, by which exemption from duties on importation is granted to Java coffee, coming from the Netherlands, in Dutch or American ships, and to regulate the reim bursement of duties authorised by the said Bill. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 22.--- , We borrow the following afflicting details from a letter from Alort, addressed to the Courrier d'Anvers :—All that has been stated of the misery which prevails in the country is below the truth. Half of the population live in the Irish fashion, that is to say, on potatoes, vinegar, and water ; rye bread is too dear. As for pork, which is scarce this year, it is banished long since from the tables of the poorer classes. The mortality is becoming frightful in several villages, even those which lately enjoyed a certain degree of prosperity. It exceeds by 50 per cent. that or the years 1842 and 1843. The long drought has dried up most of the wells ; and, being forced to drink muddy and unwholesome water instead of beer or milk, our country people have almost all contracted disorders in the stomach, to which many hundreds have fallen victims. I have visited a cottage where the father, mother, grandfather, and seven children were ill, lying upon straw, badly attended, and abandoned by every body except a poor pastor and the physician of a neigh bouring commune. The pastor has nothing to give them but consolation, and as for the physician, he is overwhelmed with work, and three-quarters of his stock of medicines are absorbed by his indigent patients. The poor family of which I speak would bo obliged to sleep in the open air, if the burgomaster, to whn.:m the cottage belongs, had not excused them from paying their rent for the last eighteen months. This sight was very distressing, especially when the father said, — "It is very fortunate that we are ill, for we are not so hungry. What will become of us when we are cured? " There are above a hundred such instances; in all our villages the misery is becoming general. The small farmers are ruined in giving alms. The large farm near which I live is visited every week by 600 beggars; each of these persons receives a centime or a potato The farmer talks of abandoning his farm because he cannot bear so heavy a burden. In our village, as in many others, the rich inhabitants subscribe to give work to our unfortunate countrymen These burdens are four times heavier than the taxes. The women who are em ployed in spinning in the houses of the farmers work from five in the morning till seven in the evening, for which they receive four centimes and their food. In some farms they are contented with their food alone; this may do for them, but what becomes of their children ? MAESTRICJIT, SEPT. 19.—The water in the Maese has become so low, in consequence of the continued drought, that steam-boats between this city and Rot terdam have been obliged entirely to suspend their voy age; and even the service between this city and Liege, is attended with great difficulty. HARDENDIIEG, SgrT, 17.—The River Vicht is so ex tremely 19w at this time, that it may be passed dry shod at several places, a circumstance which never hap pened here in the memory of man. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 19.— BORNEO AND TIIE TREATY OF 1841.—" For some months past the island of Borneo has become the subject of the most lively interest to all civilised nations—the establishment of the English in that island, the largest in the world, is a question which rivets all eyes on the two nations which are most imme diately interested. Great Britain, whose influence in the theatre of the world is already so powerful, will gain inconceivably by the last acquisitions and their consequences; and the Netherlands, which, though not without influence in Asia, sees that influence daily more restricted on all sides by the extensive encroachments of a neighbour whose possessions, and colonies spread more and more over the terrestrial globe, the Netherlands' colonial and national interests, in the opinion of many foreign statesmen, are exposed to the utmost danger by the events of which Borneo is the theatre. It may, therefore, not seem out of the way to inquire what has latterly taken place in Borneo, and then to examine whether those events are contrary or not to the treaties between the Netherlands and Great Britain which are still in force, and have been frequently ap pealed to by both parties." The Handelsblad aeldslong extracts from Captain Keppel's account of his voyage to Borneo and the journal of Mr. Brooke. ZWOLLE, SEPT. 14.—This evening some families em barked here for Rotterdam, intending to proceed to North America. On Thursday next six families will embark from the district of Hardenburg, with the intention of proceeding to North America, with a capital of 3,000 florins ; religious motives are the cause of this emigration. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 17:—•The Senate of Free City of Frankfort has just published a proclamation allowing the importation of corn, duty free, hit) the territory of the Republic. The Government of Frankfurt will pay to the Zollverien the duties chargeable on this corn, according to the general tariff, which is common to all States of the Union. This measure has become neces sary, in consequence of the very high price of provisions. On the 12th of this month a decree of the Government of Baden was published at Carlsruhc of the following tenor:— _ _ " Article I.—The existing regulations respecting the importation of foreign corn and pulse, shall remain in force till the Ist of April, 1847. " Article IL—Foreign flour, as well as foreign articles made of corn and pulse, as also pearl barley, groats, flour of buck wheat, are free from import duty from the Ist of October of the present year, till the Ist of October, 1847."

Sept. 23. On the 13th instant a murder was committed at St. Pahu, near Brest, under the following horrible cir cumstances. A farmer of the commune was married only three months ago, but having become enamoured of his servant-maid determined to get rid of his wife. To accomplish this, he prevailed upon the servant to smother her on the Sunday while all the inhabitants were at church. When the service was over she was found dead, and it was believed to have been from apoplexy, and she was buried the next day. The mother of the deceased. however, afterwards finding cause to suspect foul play, laid an information before the magistrates, and had the body of her daughter disinterred. The servant, on being brought to view the corpse, was struck with re morse and confessed her crime, which she protested she committed at the instigation of her master, who pro mised to marry her. She was committed to the prison of Brest, together with Jobert. The girl is only eighteen years of age. Dispatches from the Governor of West Australia L were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. REJOICINGS AT LONGFIELD. RECEPTION OF CHARLES BIANCONI, ESQ. On Wednesday-evening tbeßight.W4rahlpfleti 3 Ofiiitiltio Bianconi, Esq., Mayor of - Clonmel, arrived at his re cently purchased property of Longfield, one of the most splendid residences in this county, accompanied by his amiable lady and family. Preparations on an extensive scale were made by the tenantry and other inhabitants on the estate to give the excellent proprietor a public reception, worthy alike of him and them. Large bon fires blazed on the roads contiguous to the demesne, a triumphal arch was erected near the avenue gate, and the extensive area opposite the splendid mansion was thronged with the tenants and labourers, their wives and families. The amateur band from Cashel, dressed in their beautiful uniform, were also is attendance, and dis coursed most eloquent music during the evening. Their style of performance of several national and popular airs reflected upon them the greatest en. dit. Dancing com menced about eight o'clock, and was kept up with great spirit until a late hour. The lads and lasses of Ard mayle were " Tripping on the light fantastic toe," whilst the merry pipes kept tune with the violin and tabor, It was truly a spirit-stirring spectacle, and one which incontestably proves the stuff of which Irishmen are composed, ever ready to pay the tribute of their heart's warmest affections where a disposition is evinced by those placed above them in the scale of society to treat them with generosity, kindness, and justice; taken alto ther, it was a proud, a happy demonstration as ever we had the good fortune to witness. The evening was beautifully calm, and the shadows of the different objects, as reflected by the several fires, added to the appear ance of the silver waters of the lovely Suir, which in tersect the demesne, gliding silently along, had to the lovers of the picturesque and beautiful a most thrilling effect— " It was not that Nature had shed o'er the scene Her purest of chrystal—her brightest of green," —Oh, no, it was the outpouring of the hearts of men, who felt they gained a good landlord—a kind friend—a benevolent neighbour, in the person of the present ho noured proprietor of Longfield, that gladdened the heart of the spectators. An interval having occurred in the merry dance, a deputation from the tenantry came forward, and pre sented Mr. Bianconi with an address, which was read by Mr. Dwyer in a clear and distinct voice. The address was an eloquent composition, and the reading of it was accompanied with loud cheering. Silence being restored, Mr. BIANCONI addressed the people from the steps of the hall-door. He said— Friends and neighbours, I thank you for the honour done me, and I accept your address with great pleasure. It affords me much satisfaction to meet tenants and neighbours, who are latterly proverbial for morality, good conduct, and temperance.—(Cheers.) I am de lighted to be so intimately connected with so deserving a class. I have made the ever-memorable saying of my lamented friend, Mr. Drummond, that " property has its duties as well as its right my study. We should,according to our state in society, have our rights.- 2 ' (Hear.) The landlord shouldhave his—the mechanic and the labourer should also have theirs.—( [leer.) I think that the poor man, who earns by his labour a shilling a day, has as good a right to employment and his cabin as the Queen has to her throne.—(Cheers.) The citizen and the farmer also have their peculiar rights, and it shall ever be my duty to see those rights vindicated. — (Cheers.) These also have their duties.—(Hear.) The labourer cannot expect to be paid unless he works in return.—(Hear.) If the landlord does his duty to you, he will expect of you to do the same to him. You must understand your duties as well as your rights. I am determined to do everything that a man ought to do to those placed by Providence under me. The rich and the poor man are God's creatures alike— (Cheers)—and, as a landlord, my duty is to see that my tenants shall have proper time and facilities to culti vate the land, and I, in return for my giving the land for its value, expect to be properly paid. I have no idea that one man more than another should not be bound to discharge the respective duties which he owes the great human family; therefore I led great pleasure in receiving your address. It gives me increased plea sure to find that I have to do with a peaceful, moral, and industrious class of men, and I regret that I was not aware of your kindness in time to have refreshments prepared for you, particularly after the delightful scene which I had the pleasure just now of witnessing—the merry dance continued with such truly Irish spirit by the young men and really handsome girls by whom I am surrounded.—(Cheers.) It is my wish that when you want anything which is in my power to grant you, that you should not be thinking about it. Whenever you want any improvement to be made either in your land or farming implements, ask me, it shall always af ford me much pleasure to assist you by every means in my power, in everything that can tend to ameliorate your condition.—(Cheers.) Before I conclude these hasty observations, allow me to impress upon you the great importance of re specting the laws. The laws arc made for the good and benefit of society, and the punishment of the wicked. You cannot offend the laws with impunity. No one but an enemy would counsel you to outrage the laws. Look around you, and will you not see the face of society im proved? Much of that improvement is owing to the temperate habits of the people—to the mission of my respected friend, Father Mathew—(Loud cheers)—and to the advice of the Liberator, Mr. O'Connell.—(Cheers.) Above all things, avoid secret and unlawful societies. There has been much blood shed in this country through their means. But I am happy to say that the advice of the Liberator is now generally followed.—(Cheem) There are still a few lurking vagabonds in this county, but their "occupation is nearly gone." Therefore, if any man ask you to violate the law, seize him, grapple with him, drag him before a magistrate, or your clergy. man, for depend upon it he is your enemy, and an enemy to your country. Follow the advice of O'Connell ; be temperate, moral, peaceable, and you will advance your country, ameliorate your condition, and the blessing of God will attend you.—(Loud cheers.) The MAYOR then called for three cheers for the Queen, which were loudly given. Cheers, loud and long continued, were then given for the Mayor, Mrs. and Master Bianconi, &c., &c., and the vast concourse separated in the most orderly and quiet manner. BEQUEST TO THE SINKING FUND.--The late Mr. John Ashton, of Newton Rink, near Hyde, in Chester, a wealthy and extensive cotton manufacturer, of Man chester, has bequeathed to the Manchester Royal Infir mary a legacy of 5,0001., and, after leaving large be quests to his family and others, leaves the residue of his personal estate, which is considerable, to the Commis sioners of the Sinking Fund, for the reduction of the national debt. The residue is augmented by the falling in of a legacy of 20,000/., left to Mr. W. Wright, his con fidential clerk, and whom he had constituted an executor, but who died only a short time previous to the testator, leaving a wife and family to deplore the loss of their sole protector, and the promised reward which seemed within their grasp, for a whole life devoted by this persevering man to the interests of the several firms enumerated by the testator in his will, through which this trustworthy manager had conducted the busi- ' ness. It is to be hoped that this intended bequest, as " a reward for faithful services," will meet with favour from the Lords of the Treasury, as the sum coming to the Government independent of this lapsed legacy is very considerable, and has much increased since the will was made in 1836. The testator has directed that all money out on mortgage shall also fall into the personal estate. There is a legacy of 1,000/. to the son of Mr. Wright, who is a clerk in the concern, and legacies to the other clerks and to the servants connected both with the business and his private establishment; to Frederick Slowe he leaves 1,000/., as a token of regard for his faithful services whilst in his employ; to Mr. John Barker 5,000/. He leaves in trust for his daughter 25,0001., and also an annuity until she is of age. To his brother, Mr. Joseph Ashton 500/. a year. To his brother Mr. Samuel Ashton, and his sisters Miss Jane Ashton and Mrs. Mary Tucker, 25,000/. each. There are legacies to many of his relations on the maternal side. Ho devises and bequeaths to his brother, Mr. Robert Ashton, all his messuages, build ings, factories, warehouses, lands, tenements, herdita ments, and all the freehold, leasehold, and copyhold estates, and all the steam engines, apparatus, and machinery absolutely. Besides the property in Chester and Manchester, for which a separate grant of probate has issued, there has been 80,C00/. administered to in London by the surviYing gxecutor, Mr, Robert Ashton, HERTFORDSHIRE. Espinasse sat yesterday at the Bull Inn, Hoddes don, at ten o'clock. Messrs. W. H. James, E. R. Spence, and J. F. Bon terns, attended for the free-trade party, and ➢lr. Long more for the Conservatives. The REVISING BARRISTER complained of the negli gent manner in which the overseer of Witford had performed his duty, and fined him in the sum of 203. for not forwarding to the clerk of the peace the lists of voters, as directed by the Registration Act. In the Hoddesdon list the claim of William Crawley was objected to by the Conservatives. Mr. Spence called a person of the name of Whitley, a tailor, to prove the qualification, who stated he knew William Crawley, and k lew he possessed four free hold houses, and had been in possesion since his father's death, which event occurred three years since. Cross-examined by Mr. Longmore—l consider the whole of the cottages belong to William Crawley. Each of them let for about 41. a year ; he lives in one of them. At the death of the father a will was found. There had been something said about the property being di vided among his children, four in number. The claim ant waa the eldest son. The will was disputed, but I consider the claimant the owner of the cottages. Ido remember something being said about the property being left to the daughters. There were not any witnesses to the will. The fact is, the will was not signed. I have seen it, and immediately it was shown to me I said it was good for nothing. The son takes the rent of the whole property, and he does not divide it with his sisters. The will was not disputed by action. Ido not think the will gives the property to the sisters. I consider, by the will, that the claimant is the owner of the property. I have not the will with me. Mr. ESPINASSE said it would be very unsafe to receive the testimony of a Hoddesdon tailor as to the devise of a legal estate. lie should therefore call for the production of the will. The witness left for the purposd of procuring the will, and in a short time returned and stated that he had seen the voter, but that he could not attend or produce the will. Mr. ESPINASSE said, if a voter would not attend, of course he must expunge the name, which was conse quently done. In the same list Charles Borham War ner, and four other gentlemen claiming for a rent-charge on freehold property, were objected to by the Conser vatives. Mr. James took an objection to the notice to the effect that the objector had not signed his name in full, but only " Tho." for " Thomas," which was overruled by the Court. He then put in a deed of conveyance, dated the 29th of January, and proved that Mr. Charles Bor ham Warner was living upon the property upon which the rent-charge was secured, and contended that he so residing constituted a possession in fact, as well as in law, as required by the Reform Act. Mr. Lougmore submitted that the possession of the property was not such a possession of the rout-charge as required. It was admitted as a fact that Mr. Warner was in oc cupation of the premises, and had been so since and at the time of the execution of the deed, and also that such occupation was permissive. Mr. ESPINASSE said he would reserve his judgment on the case of Mr. Charles Borham Warner, but with re gard to the other four gentlemen, he would strike out their names, as it appeared they had not received any rent on the deed, nor was it due at the timo of execution. In the Cheshunt list, Joseph Jennings was objected to by the free-traders. Mr. Jennings appeared and stated he was possesed of a fee farm rent, upon the manor and rectory of Cheshunt, and that it was of more than forty shillings annual value, and had been in possession more than twenty years. Mr. Spence said, that it being a rent-charge, the Act required the owner's name to be inserted. Mr. Jennings said, that he was objected to in the year 1833, and that the Revising Barrister inserted it in the list as it now appears. Mr. Spence said, that under the Reform Act the de scription would have been sufficient, but under the Regis tration Act it was required that the owner's name should also be inserted. The overseer stated, that the devises of the late Mr. Dendy are the owners of the property. Mr. ESPINASSE was of opinion that the owners' name in this case ought to be inserted. Mr. Jennings applied to the court for costs. He thought it a very hard case to be compelled to come an the way from Hastings to support his vote, which had been on the register ever since the year 1833. Mr. EspixAsse. said no doubt it was a very hard case; but in cases of rent charge it was necessary that the name of the owner should be given, so as to enable a person who wished to inquire into the register to as certain whether these rent charges had actually been granted. In the year 1833 the lists were revised under the provisions of the Reform Act, and at that time it was necessary that the rent charges should be registered with the clerk of the peace. Since that Act the Regis-. tration Act had been passed, which required the owner's name, and had abolished the registration with the clerk of the peace. In a case that he had decided at Berkhampstead, the owner's name was only given, and in that case he was of opinion that that was all that was necessary, as a party wishing to make objections could inquire in the place for the property belonging to the gentleman whose name appeared as owner, and he could readily ascertain from the overseers whether he was the owner or not, and thereby ascertain whether any rent charges were secured upon that property ; but in this case no owner's name appeared, so that nobody could make inquiries to know whether any rent-charges had been granted. He should, therefore, not give costs. In the same list Sir Edward Codrington and twelve other gentlemen claiming for rent- charges were objected to by the Conservatives. Mr. James put in a deed of rent-charge, made between George Dunn of the one part, and Admiral Sir Edward Codrirgton of the second part, conveying to Sir Edward Codrington, his heirs and assigns, for ever, a rent-charge of forty shillings, " to be paid and payable during the first year, in equal moities, on the 24th day of June and the 25th day of December, thenceforth yearly on the 25th day of December in every year." Mr. James also produced receipts, signed by .he parties, for the first half-}ear's rent, which had been paid previous to the 31st of July last. Mr. James stated that he had paid the rents, and that the property upon which the rent charges were granted was unencumbered at the time of granting, and remainA so up to the present time. Mr. Longmore said that the rent-charges were for forty shillings only, and nothing was said as to the income tax, which would be one shilling and twopence on each case; so that the parties would only receive thirty-eight shillings and tenpence, which would not entitle them to vote. _ . Mr. James said there was an express section in the Act which applied to the case. It was the 21st section of the 2d William IV., cap. 45, which enacted that no public or Parliamentary tax shall be deemed to be any charge payable out of or in respect of any land or tenements. Mr. Longmore said the Income-tax Act had been passed since the Reform Act. Mr. ESPINASSE said it would be incumbent on Mr. Longmore to prove that there was an express enactment in the Income. tax Act repugnant to the 2d William IV., cap. 45. Mr. Longmore replied that the Income-tax Act directed the granter to retain the tax, 7d. upon every pound at the time of paying the rent-charge. Mr. ESPINASSE said the Reform Act directed that no Parliamentary tax should be considered as a charge upon the land, and the income tax was a Parliamentary tax, and as there was nothing repugnant to the 21st section of the 2d William IV., cap. 45, he should overrule the objection. The whole of the names were retained upon the list. Two other gentlemen, of the name of Dunn, claiming for rent -charges in the same list, were objected to; but, owing to rent not having been paid prior to the 31st of last July, the names were expunged. In the same list Richard Arabin, and six others claiming for rent-charges granted by Sir Henry Meux, ^ Bart., were objected to by the free-traders. A solicitor attended to prove the qualifications, and stated that the rent-charges had been granted by Sir Henry Meux, and were charged upon his property called " Walker's Earm." ROWING MATCH FOR FIFTY POUNDS. The sculler's contest between Thomas Coombes, the brother of the champion of the Thames, and Frederick Lett, of Lambeth, came off yesterday afternoon. The race had been looked for with a great deal of intereit, and from the well-known qualities of the men, who had distinguished themselves in many very spirited contests, a first:rate struggle was anticipated. The men have contended on three previous occasions, Lett having won the first match after a great deal of fouling, Coombes the second, and Lett the third, and the result of yester day's performance makes the score even between them. Both men have been in very active training, and came to the starting place, Battersea-bridge, to row to Hammer smith, in first-rate condition, Coombes in the beautiful wherry, built by Cownden and Wentzell, in which his brother defeated Charles Campbell for the championship, and his opponent in one by Noulton and Wylde, of very handsome construction. Betting was 5 to 4on Lett. Lett got the start, and at Battersea Church was a length a-head, having had considerable advantage by the choice of station. His opponent, however, stroke by stroke, gained upon him, and, almost immediately came scull and scull, and passed him in gallant style. Lett did his best to overtake his antagonist, but his efforts were useless. Coombes was five or six lengths a-head at Wandsworth, wont on gaining, and won by about two hundred and fifty yards. We regret to hear that the Earl of Munster and Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence received the melancholy intelligence, on Monday last, of the death of Lady Augusta Bond/ whose premature demise took place►at Stockholm on the sth instant. Her Ladyship's sccoache ment happened on the 2d, and her death resulted from her confinement. The deceased lady was second daughter of the late Earl and Countess of Munster, - and grand daughter of his late Majesty William IV. Her Lady ship was born 31st of July, 1822, and was married last year to M. Ronde, at Paris, when Lady Mary Fox, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, and other branches of the family attended the nuptials. By the lamented death of her Ladyship, the Earl of Munster, Viscount and Vis countess Falkland, the Earl and Countess of Errol, Lord and Lady Frederick Fitzzlarence, Colonel and Lady Mary Fox, Lord De Lisle and Dudley, Lord and Lady Augustus Fitzclarence, Lord Frederick and Lady Augusta Gordon Hallyburton, &c., are placed in mourning. FOREIGN GRAPES.—To show the extent to which the importations of foreign grapes are carried at the present time, the following arrivals may be especially mentioned as having just taken place, and will be suffi cient to illustrate the subject :—The Tyro, from Lisbon, brought 503 large boxes, 651 half boxes, 94 quarter boxes, and 50 other packages of this kind of fruit, be sides several hundred packages of oranges, lemons, &c., the production of Portugal. The steam-ship Rainbow, from Rotterdam, brought 893 baskets of the large and fine description, known as the Hambro' grapes, and pro duced in the vineyards in the neighbourhood of Ham burgh ; and the Giraffe, from Rotterdam, also the un usually large number of 1,423 baskets of the same kind of grapes. The Racer, from Lisbon, subsequently brought 899 half boxes, 6 quarter boxes, and 43 large boxes of grapes, the produce of Portugal. The impor tations of the description of grapes known as the Ham bro' grapes, previously alluded to, are taking place this season to an extent beyond all former precedent. The shops throughout the metropolis are abundantly supplied with them ; they are of unusually fine quality and fla vour, and are vended at so reasonable a price as to place them within the reach of the general public, which is to be ascribed to the unusual and extraordinarily fine wea ther which has been experienced generally throughout Europe during the past summer and up to the present time. --- EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—On Sunday, the 20th instant, Mr. Luscombe, the Netherlands Consul at Ply mouth, was applied to by Edward Johansen, a native of Holland, under the following extraordinary circum stances:—The applicant stated that he formerly belonged to the Isis, a Dutch East Indiaman, new masted at Plymouth about fourteen months since, and he recalled to the recollection of the Dutch Consul several things which made that gentleman believe his statement. Having gone on to Batavia in the Isis, Johansen suffered there severely from a discharge of blood, and was in conse quence under medical treatment in the public hospital for two or three months. On his recovery he joined the Dutch barque Jocatra, Captain Verkevisser, bound from Batavia to Amsterdam, and when off the Cornish coast, on the passage home, about five or six days since, in the middle watch, he took his trick at the wheel from twelve to about one o'clock, at which hour he was relieved by the mate, who ordered him aloft, to prepare for rigging out studding-sails. While at the end of the mainyard, fitting a boom and gear, the rope which for security he had fastened round his body gave way, and he unfortunately fell into the sea. In his first attempt to alarm the ship his mouth filled with water. It was very dark at the time, and the vessel passed on out of sight, his shipmates being totally unconscious of his perilous fate. Providentially for Johansen, he had on only his shirt, shoes, and trousers. He is about twenty-five years of age, strongly built, and an expert swimmer. The land was in sight on the previous day, and by the help of the stars he now endeavoured to swim in that direction. After remaining in the water an hour and a half or two hours, he became almost exhausted, when day began to break, and to his unutterable joy he was happily descried by some fishermen who were passing near him, and between four and five o'clock in the morning, took him on board their vessel. The figures No. 11 were on the boat's sails. His deliverers immediately landed him, in a very weakened condition, at a small fishing town of about ten or twelve poor houses, where he was humanely treated, and re mained two days and nights in bed. He does not know English, but, when somewhat recovered, in the best manner that he could he begged his way, about thirty miles, to Plymouth. Mr. Luscombe and two Dutch captains have closely interrogated Johansen, whose answers, under the circumstances, were very satisfactory. He is supplied with suitable clothing and necessaries from the office of the Consulate, and has been kindly taken on board the galliot Jantina, Captain Potjer, which put into Plymouth from Bordeaux, bound to Rot terdam. BURIAL SERVICE.—By the Act of 9 and 10 Vic toria, c. 68, which came into operation on the 26th of August last, provision is made to enable the burial service to be performed in one chapel, where contiguous burial-grounds are provided for two or more parishes or places. The Bishop of the diocese may declare, in the sentence of consecration, that a chapel is intended for the use of the several parishes or places. The Act is to extend to any parish or place already or here after to be formed under the provisions of the Church Building Acts, and also any new parish already or to be hereafter constituted by or under the proceedings of th© Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, DELAY or THE DELIVERY OF LETTERS.—Yester day morning the whole of the General Post-office letter carriers were ordered back to the office in St. Martin's le-Grand, in consequence of the non-arrival of the mail bags from the Liverpool branch of the North-Western Railway. The men, after having delivered the first dis patch, were sent out with the Liverpool mail abut fivo hours after the usual time. A serious accident below Birmingham is stated by the Post-office authorities to have been the' ie 9f the'deter if 111 !responder Cal~S Atio4l 4 Li cia 2W 4;-/vo.er The construction of the luggage vans on this line differs very materially from those generally employed on other railways. It has been reported that it was of a light construction, and not of that massive description as to warrant it being placed next the tender with such heavy trains as the one that met with the accident. Such, however, is not the fact. It was one of the ordi nary wrought-iron vans usually employed in running with passenger trains, and weighing six tons. Up to the last station it stopped at before reaching Farring don-road, the van exhibited no token of defect. Sin gular to state the coupling which held it to the carriage it injured never broke, at least such is the information communicated to the reporter by Mr. S. Clarke, the su perintendent of the line, but the one that connected it with the tender separated. This fact has given rise to the supposition that the van must have left the rails and that the engine broke away from it. If that, however, had been the fact, the probability is that the train would have passed on to it instead of lifting it. Last evening the inquest on the bodies of the unfor tunate deceased passengers was held at the Prince of Wales Tavern, adjoining the Farringdon.road station, by Mr. Wasborough, the county coroner. Mr. S. Clarke, the superintendent of the line, was present, with other officers, to watch the proceedings on behalf of the company. The evidence adduced was far from being satisfactory as to the cause of the accident. From the testimony of the witnesses who rode in the same compartment as the deceased, it appears that at the moment of the concus sion the deceased, Mr. Sargeant, was sitting down, and was thrown into the next compartment. Bonner was standing up, and was crushed down. They described the luggage van to have broken through the roof of their carriage, which came right down upon them. Mr. Frampton (living near the station), who was a passenger in the train, said thatspme time prior to the accident he noticed a grating noise. He did not know the cause, and mentioned the .circumstance to a fellow passenger. Ho was in / the name carriage as the deceased, only in another compartment. On the train passing under the bridge, he heard a tremendous noise, and the roof of the carriage flew off. He supposed that the de ceased must have been killed in the compartment by the luggage van driving into it; for when the train stopped he found the van was right on the top of it. ' • Ross Pattison, the engine-driver, deposed tha' he ap-. proached the Farringdon-road station at the usual speed, and on running through the bridge experienced a severe shock which tLrew him backrards..?..He jumped for ward to his engine, supposing it had broken away, and off lcoking back saw that the train had left the engine, and the luggage train mounted on the top of the carriage next to it. He thought the force of the concussion broke the coupling. After the accident he noticed that some of the wheels of the van and carriage were off the line. Previous to the concussion the steam had been shut off, and the breaks applied to bring up at the station, and their speed was exceedingly moderate. There was no second concussion. Simon Cosgrave, the head guard of the train, said it was running into the station at the usual speed when the accident happened. He could not say positively how it occurred. He thought the cause was the luggage van, breaking down in front. There was only one shock. The evening having here far advanced the CORONER suggested an adjournment. At present they did not know anything of the cause of the accident. He thought the jury ought to have the evidence of some disinterested witness. He considered the public, on so serious an oe_ casion, were entitled to know whether blame attached to the company, and ho thought an adjournment should take place for the purpose of obtaining the attendance of some able and disinterested person, who should give evidence respecting any practical points, on which the jury desired to be informed. The jury concurred in the views of the coroner, and the proceedings were accordingly adjourned. A report of the accident has been sent to the Board of Trade by the company, and General Pasley was expected yesterday to have visited the spot and made his official investigation. We believe it is the coroner's intention to solicit the attendance of the gallant general at the re sumption of the inquest, with a view of ascertaining his opinion on the cause of the accident. The inquiry will be resumed this day. The Rugby and Leamington Railway has been sold to the London and North-Western Railway Com pany, at 5/. premium on the 201. shares, or 41. premium on the 161. shares. SEIZURE 05' AN EXTENSIVE ILLICIT DISTILLERY By THE EXClSE.—Considerable excitement was manifested on Wednesday evening, between six and seven o'clock, in the ueighbour'hood of Blackfriars-road, from the re port of the seizure of an illicit distillery, w ith the cap ture of the persons employed, by the officers of the Ex cise. From information received, the officers proceeded to Charles-street, to premises formerly occupied as a hat-manufactory, where, after some slight hesitation on the part of a person at the gate, they obtained admis sion, and on proceeding to the rear of the pre mises, which are very extensive, several apartments being thrown into one, they discovered two large copper stills, in full work, and running spirits of a very strong description, viz., sixty over proof. The persons attending their operation appeared to bo so busily em ployed, that they had scarcely noticed the presence of the officers, and upon one of the latter announcing their presence, a scene of indescribable dismay and alarm en sued. Retreat was hopeless, and a denial of the facts quite out of the question, therefore one of the party at once admitted that he was the proprietor of the distillery, and cabs being procured, the whole of the parties were conveyed to the police station-house for safe custody. Having them thus secured, the officers then proceeded to examine the premises more minutely, and found the two stills had been some time in operation, from the ' quantity of spirit ready for sale in stock. They also found near 1,000 gallons of wash in a state of fermenta tion, ready for placing in the stills, and which would have run off a large quantity of spirit. The business thus carried on, taking the same by the average of the workings of the stills, would have caused a loss to the revenue of at least 3001. per week. The owner of the premises appeared to have minutely studied the laws of distillation, for several documents relating to the subject were found in his possession, and among them the last Act upon the subject, the 9th and 10th Vic., cap 90, en titled " An Act to Prevent the Use of Stills by Un lisensed Persons." Three vans having been procured, the whole of this valuable capture was deposited in them, and conveyed to the Excise warehouses in Bread street. MYSTERIOUS DEATlL—Yesterday an inquest was held bafore Mr. W. Carter, at the Swan Inn, New Peck ham, on the body of Mr. William Dunham, aged 57, whose death was supposed to have been caused by some ' quack medicine. Two phials were producedland a printed bill, with the name of "Jordan, Russell•street, Blooms. bury," on it. Mrs. Sadler, a sieter of the deceased, said her brother had retired from business, and lived at 1, Alpha.-street, New Peckham. On Sunday evening he was reading in the front parlour, when he fell from his chair suddenly, and soon after expired. The deceased had had the dropsy for some time, and was under the care of Mr. Morris till last Wednesday, when he got some medicine, and would not see Mr. Morris a ga i n . He took the medicine from the Wednesday to the Sun day. Mr. Morris, of High-street, Peckham, surgeon, stated that he had attended the deceased for dropsy and diseased kidneys for some time, and his opinion was that he would not last ou,t the winter. When he saw him on Sunday ho was quite dead, and witness was sur prised at the suddenness of it. The Coroner asked Mr. Morris if he could state the cause of death. Mr. Morris said he-could not tell. One of the phials he thought contained opium, the taking of which might tend to bring on apoplexy. He did not think there was suffi cient to cause death. The Coroner then said the inquiry must be adjourned to have tho body opened. The bottles, were ordered to be sealed up, and the Court adjourned.. PECKIIANI FAlR.—During yesterday and the two preceding days, Camberwell and Peckham have ber m , visited by many thousands of individuals to witness, the revival of P ec kh am F a ir, which closed yesterde,y, The fair, which was con d uc ted throughout in a very brisk and orderly manners P i niet but terminated withor A t a i i., g l e accident, ►eace, THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON TIM GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. (LATEST PART/CULARG.) READING, W EDN ESDAY.—The accident which bad the fifty-fire minutes past four P.M. passenger-train from Paddington, at Farringdon-road station on the above line, on Monday, was of a character peculiarly de plorable, and, we believe, nearly unparalleled among railway casualties. The unfortunate passengers who met with their death' have been ascertained to be Mr. Sergeant, a fainter re siding in the vicinity of Swindon, and James Bonner, living at Oxford. There were several other passengers injured, including a female, but their names and the nature of their injuries could not be obtained. The train when it left Paddington consisted of the " Elk" engine and tender, luggage van, seven first and second-class passenger carriages, and another luggage van at the rear. It took up a large number of pas sengers at the station, and by the time it reached Farringdon-road the train had become a very large one. On its approach to the latter station -the engine-driver shut off the steam, and adoptel the usual practice of bringing the train to a halt. No sooner had he done so, however, than a violent concus sion took place, and it was immediately found that the luggage-van near to the tender, from some unaccount able cause, had reared up on its fore wheels. The force of the train drove the next carriage under it, and the next moment the train passing through a bridge on the London side of the Farringdon-road station, it is sup posed that the roof of the luggage van ceme in contact with the crown o f t h e arch, an was driven into the body of the carrian. All three compartments being filled with passengfrs it is truly remarkable that a greater loss of life did not ensue. The unfortunate de ceased, with two 'or three others, were in the compart ment nearest the van. The remains of Mr. Sergeant were shockingly mutilated, the head being literally se vered from the body. His Beath must have been in stantaneous. More than an hour and a half elapsed ere his remains could be extricated from the wreck of the carriage. Bonner survived his injury but a few minutes. He was standing up at the time , and received th e f u ll force of the concussion on his head. As soon as the necessary assistance had been obtained the bodies were removed to the station to await a coroner's inquiry. In the course of an hour and a half the line was "cleared, and the train proceeded. The remarkable circumstance of the luggage-van -.._ rising from no, apparent cause has excited considerable attention. By some opinions are given that it was the .., ,, -,x,,, result of the sudden shutti ng o ff o f t h e s t eam an d t h e , nt liali, • omemtum 9f,..4 ; 9400 my train behind •that' tbre , e the- ,,`',' van up. ft was state by the company's officer that carriages rising in such a manner were of frequent oc currence on all lines; if so, it is the first that has been publicly announced. It is right to state, however, that they do not attribute the accident to the cause above alluded to, but rather to some defect in the spring or axle of the van. IMII
