(THIS DAY.) A meeting of the scripholders in this Company was held this day, at the London Tavern, fur the purpose of determining whether the company should be dissolved. The Rev. Somers Payne was voted to the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, scrutineers were appointed, and during their investigation, --- Mr. STEVENS read a report, from which it appeared that in consequence of the resolution come to by the shareholders on the 6th of June last, the directors bad resolved to withdraw the B 11. It appeared further that the committee received a deposit of 11. 7s. 6d. on 17,156 shares, being within:lso of the entire number mentioned in the Bill. This produced a sum of 24,552/. Os. 10d., to which as to be added a sum of 137/. 17s. ld. for interest, making together 24,6891. 17s. ld. The actual disbursements up to the present time amounted to 12,233/. 4s. 3d., leaving a balance of 12,456/. 12s. 10d. The directors regretted they could not make satisfactory arrangements with their solicitors and engineers, the demands of the latter being so large, that they did not deem themselves justified in discharging them. They were, therefore, =able to declare a final dividend of the depo sits I still, not wishing to keep so large a sum ht hand, they proposed to pay immediately ss. per sfiltre, and the remainder when the accounts should be finally closed. Against the above named sum d 12,456!. it appeared that there were claims to the =mount of 11,413 L The report concluded by stating that the directors felt extreme regret at the abandonment of the line, which they believed to be a bona fide -undertaking, in which they ba d little doubt wou ld b e car - Tied out, as it was i n continuation of,the Cork an d B an d on Railway, and in that case that their present works would be available. 1 ,, It was then proposed that the Company should be dis- Jaolvee, and the resolatiOn having been seconded, was ex:ried unanimously. It was then proposed, seconded, and carried, that the dissolution of the Company should not be considered an act of , bankruptcy. Some of the shareholders expressed themselves as dis satisfied with the manner in which the affairs of the Company had been conducted, and thought they should have made the dissolution an act of bankruptcy. The scrutineers reported that the number of shares present was only 3,141, which not being the requisite number, the meeting adjourned after some desultory dis cussion. LEICESTER and BEDFORD RAIL WAY.-(THIS DAY.) In consequence of there not being a sufficient number of scripholders at the last meeting of the Company, held a week ago, an adjourned meeting took place to-day, at the London Tavern. The object of the meeting was for the purpose of ascertaining the sense of the share holders as to the dissolution of the Company. R. LINDSELL, Esq., took the chair shortly after one o'clock, upon doing which he stated that the directors and a committee of the shareholders had had an inter view with Mr. Hudson, at Derby, on Wednesday last, at which a long discussion took place, and in the course of which Mr. Hudson stated that if the directors wished to do anything with him they must abandon the whole 1 ine and leave it in his hands. The directors thinking the adoption of such a course in compatible with their previous arrrangements, declined to accede to it, and stated to Mr. Hudson that they had only half the line to dispose of, upon which Mr. Hud son declined to enter into any arrangement, stating it was his intention to adopt the best line between Leicester and London, giving equal advantages to the Eastern Counties Railway and the Direct Northern. The result was, that no arrangement was entered into with Mr. Hudson. At that 'interview Mr. Hudson had stated to him (the chairman) that he was -in error in stating that there was a division in the Committee of the House of Lords, and that the rejection of the Bill was carried by a majority of one only, for the fact was, the Committee were unanimous on the rejection of the Bill. All that he (the chairman) could say with respect to that was, that he had received his information from a gentleman of undoubted respectability, and upon that information he made the statement be did to the meeting. The worthy gentleman concluded by moving a resolution that the Company should be dissolved. Mr. CORRIE, one of the deputation to Mr. Hudson from the shareholders, thought that the interests of the shareholders would have been best consulted by adopt ing Mr. Hudson's proposition, and not pursuing the course that had been pursued. Some considerable discussion then took place, in which Mr. Franklin and Mr. Richardson, two of the deputa tion, joined, and which ended in the adoption of the resolution for the dissolutionlof the Company, that reso lution not being considered an act of bankruptcy. The CHAIRMAN in the course of his statements, in answer to the observations that had been made, stated that he bad no doubt that the communication with Mr. Hudson would be renewed ; not at the suggestion of the Leicester and Bedford Railway Company, but at that of the South Midland.—The meeting then separated.

DREADFUL AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. (From the Liverpool Mercury of this day.) Since the awful calamity which destroyed the sugar works of Messrs. Brancker, in Harrington-street, Li verpool has not been visited by a fire so alarming in its nature, and so destructive in its effects, as that which occurred last night, and which has resulted in the total destruction of the works of Messrs. Macfie and Sons, sugar refiners. The building, which is now a blackened mass of ruined walls, is situated in Bachelor -street, Dale street, and runs from Bachelor-street to Orange-street, bounded at the south end by Hale-street. With the exception of one sugar-house in London, which is en tirely fire-proof, this was considered the safest in the kingdom. It was well and substantially built, and with machinery, cost the enormous sum of 40,0001. The fire broke out, as near as can be ascertained, about half-past six o'clock. The workmen, we believe, had either left the premises or were preparing to take their departure ; and what renders the origin of the fire a mystery is, that five minutes before the flumes were dis- covered, Mr. Thebaven, one of the mansgers, who re sides in the presmises adjoining, states that lie went through the works abouthalf-past six, and at that time he perceived no light, the men having left work at dusk. It was not the practice to use lights in the top stories. He then went into his own house, and in theicourse of three minutes an alarm was given. Rushing again into the works, he found them in flames. There was a hose on the premises, but the flames had proceeded so rapidly that it was impossible to connect it with the cistern. Although not a moment was Post, and the engines were soon got into play, such was the inflammabte nature of the materials inside the sugar-house, well stored as it was with sugar and molasses, that the flames had considerably progressed before any attempt could be made to prevent their spreading. In a very few minutes the roof fell in, and the flames rapidly extend ing forced their way downward from story to story with increasing fury. The building is seven stories high, exclusive of the cellar; and as floor after fluor burst through, the flames roaring like a mighty torrent, rose to an immense height, threatening destruction to every building in the imme diateneig hbourhood. Explosions occasionally took place, and were followed by the emission of dense masses of black suffocating smoke, against which the poor firemen struggled with more than prudent perseverance. Ot course it soon became apparent that nothing of the building itself could be saved, and the only satisfactory way in which the efforts of the fire-police could be di rected was in protecting the surrounding property. Immediately opposite the fire, both in Orange-street and Bachelor-street, are situated a number of low-built houses, with courts at the back. These are tenanted by some of the poorest of the poor, principally Irish, who are crowded together in very miserable-looking hovels. The streets are very various and confined ; so much so, that the operations of the firemen were much impeded. So alarmed were the poor people at the anticipated spreading of the fire, and the consequent destruction of what fragments of furniture they possessed, that they shortly after the outbreak began to throw their things into the street, those on the west side passing them through the courts and over the wall into Moorfields. The confusion and alarm which prevailed was great. Women in desperation rushed into their houses, calling for their offspring ; regardless of self, they passed through thick clouds of smoke and burning cinders to rescue their children, whilst their husbands tried, many of them in vain, to snatch from destruction a few articles of bedding. The whole of the streets for some distance off were lighted up as at noon day. The face of the exchange clock appeared as if illuminated, and even in Lord street the reflection of the flames was distinctly visible. Occurring at an hour when the workmen were at hand, a considerable quantity of property was saved. Parties acquainted with-the premises continued to work as long as it was considered safe in tho lower stories, and a large number of casks of molasses were taken away. Too much praise cannot be given to the fire-police for their great exertions. Mr. Dowling, the chief constable, was early on the spot, exerting himself and directing the energies of the force under him in the manner best cal culated to save life and property. Mr. Hewitt, who may be considered the practical superintendent, was, as usual, exceedingly active and energetic. Messrs. NV hitt3 , Swinton, Boult, Barry, Dawson, Brodie, and Sutton, deserve special mention for the exertions used by them on the occasion. Mr. Macfie was also in attendance, and whilst the alarm was spreading that the walls were likely to fall, he expressed his belief, so substantially were they built, that they would stand. His expectations have been realised in the result. He displayed praiseworthy con sideration for the poor fellows who were risking their lives in preserving property, and urged the officers of police to be exceedingly cautious, and not needlessly throw themselves in the way of danger. As we have before stated, the building and machinery cost 40,0001. Taking its present value, however, at half that sum, and calculating the stock at 40,0001., which we believe to be pretty near the mark, it will require 60,000/. to cover the entire loss, to say nothing of the destruction to the furniture of the poor people, and the loss to the workmen (100 in number) who will unfortu nately be thrown out of employment. We believe the premises, stock, and machinery, were fully insured. _ On no occasion do we remember seeing so many per sons crowded together to witness a Sre. Moorfields, where an excellent view was obtainable, was literally one moving mass of persons, whilst Dale-street and Tithe barn-street, were perfectly impassable. In North John street, a large concourse of persons was attracted by the flames, which rose a great height above the lofty build ings on the north side of Dale-street. Although, at one time, it appeared beyond the reae'i of human power to protect the houses on each side from the raging flames, we are happy to say that, at the hour of writing, there is no likelihood of their extending bk. yond the building in which they were discovered. To the stability of the walls this must be attributed ; for, had they given way, the vent thus given to the flames must have proved destructive to the whole of the houses on either side. The consequences of such a calamity are too dreadful t, contemplate. Although there were several rumours of personal ac cidents, none of them, so far as we could learn, have any foundation in truth, and this is very ramarkable, consi dering the narrow space for the operations of the fire men, the men working the engines, and those engaged in preserving the property from the flames.

PRICE OF SUGAR. • The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, the pro duce of the British possessions in America, computed trom the returns made in the week ending September 8, 1846, is 325. 7d. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of September 11.) SUGAR.—To-day importers of all descriptions of Colonial Sugar displayed more firmness, and generally the home trade were more desirous to operate. A fair demand existed for West India, the quantity sold amounting to 409 hhds and trcs by private treaty, and the rates paid were equal to those previously current. At auction 10 hhds of Jamaica sold at 49s for good yellow. FOREIGN.—This afternoon few purchases were made pri vately in Foreign Sugar. At auction 381 baskets 63 bags of Java were only in part sold at about the former value, fine strong yellow at 54s to 565, good 49s to 50s, middling 46s to 475, low 445 6d, middling grey 47s to 48s, damp and washed 46s to 52s per cwt. REFlNED.—Further reduced rates having been submitted to fur all descriptions of Refined Sugar, have tempted the borne trade to come forward more freely, and a good business has been transacted. Pieces still find willing buyers, but the refiners are desirous to sell. Bastards are heavy of disposal, and the refiners are desirous to reduce their heavy stocks. Treacle at present cannot be had on lower terms, the demand being active for all descriptions. The value of Treacle is 14s to 14s 6d, but there has not been much business done. Dutch Crushed Sugar is little wanted. Loaves made here under bond have not improved, though a good business was done, and supply not large. MAuKrrlus.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius Sugar offered at auction was large, and amounted to 7,847 bags. Merchants, however, were firm, and insisted upon former rates fur all kinds, at which the chief part of the Su gar was sold at and after the sale. - EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 4,621 bags; the demand was good, and the whole sold at full rates. COFFEE.—This afternoon 848 bags of Ceylon Coffee were offered at public sale, the Native of which sold at previous moderate rates. viz good ord yellowish at 40s, and sea da maged 27s to 38s 6d ; but the Plantation only partly found buyers. 26 bls of Mocha sold at 64s 6d for pea berry, 28s 6d for broken, and 27s 6d to 40s 6d, for sea damaged. 641 bags of Sumatra went at 22s 6d to 23s for ord brown mixed with blacks, and one lot '22s. 28 casks of Jamaica sold at 375 to 44s for good to fine ord mixed. 169 barrels of Rio went at full worth. RICE.—No further advance has taken place in the value of Bengal, but the demand has been brisker, and the rates paid have been equal to those of this day week ; several parcels, in 411 7,000 bags, were sold privately for home consumption and exportation at 18s to 20s for low to fine white, and cargo 15s to 16s 6d. Holders haveconfidence, and supply the market sparingly; only 2,825 bags having been offered at auction, and which went at 193 to 19s 6d for good middling and good white, 183 6d to 20s for middling, and 12s to 18s for damaged. Of Java there is none in the market, it is wanted, and would command stiff rates. There are several buyers of Madras at 14s 6d to 16s, but the supply is nearly exhausted. Cleaned Rice has met with ready purchasers. There are se- veral orders unexecuted for all kinds of Rice: the stock ex ceds that of last year. SPICES.—This afternoon the public sales of Nutmegs, consisting of 16 chests, went at full rates. Mace is yet wanted, and 11 chests sold at stiff rates. Of cloves 21 chests fetched 2s to 2s ld for good bright Bencoolen, and one lot of very fine 2s 6d. 537 bags Penang Pepper sold at 21d for good light brown earthy and dusty, and lid to lid for damaged ; 108 barrels and 6 pkgs Jamaica Ginger sold at 42s to 49s for mid to good mid quality. COCHINEAL.--This afternoon 266 bags of Honduras Cochineal at auction were nearly all sold—silveis at 4s 7d to .5s 10d for low to fine, and mid to good black 5s 9d to 6s 3d, being full rates for the better sorts, but ld per lb lower for common. _ spilirrs.—There has been a brisker demand for good and fine descriptions of Jamaica Rum this week, and fun rates have been paid, the quantity sold being 150 puns. Holders of Leeward Island are reluctant to lower their prices, hut the market has a dull appearance. Demerara has been sparingly dealt in, but 3s 2d to 3s 5d are the rates insisted upon for strong sorts. Calcutta is wanted, but prices are firm at Is lid to 2s proof with certificate. Brandy has been in excellent demand, and holders display firmness, the home trade are still the chief operators. The deliveries here continue the increase, and the stock diminishing. Geneva has been in increased request for export, and prices have risen to 2s 4d to 2s sd. British Corn Spirits have been in excellent request, and the market has a firm appearance. English Gin 22 per cent. under proof at 8s 10d, and 17 under 93 4d. Oits.—Southern Oil has been in excellent request by pri vate treaty, and, in consequence of the falling off in the supply at market, a further improvement in the value has taken place for all descriptions ; low to mid quality bringing 231 108 to 241 15s, and good to fine 25/ to 261 per tun. For Cod, prices remain at 27/103 to 281, but only small pur chases have been made. Holders of Seal have confidence, and supply the market sparingly with all descoiptions. Sperm is still plentiful ; but the demand has been limited, end holders experience difficulty in obtaining 771 to 791 for good quality, and 731. to 761. for low to mid For Rape Oil prices remain much the same. Lirved Gil has been in extensive demand by the home trade and a further improvement in the value has taken place 24; 9d to 25s per cwt having been. currently paid on the spot. For forward delivery a good business has been trans acted, and at improved rater. Cocoa Nut has been much in reques*, and the market has been nearly cleared at advanced rata s. For Olive the demand has been very good for all de scriptions, and the tendency of prices is yet upwards. TALLOW.—Prices rule firm for Russian on the spot, and tha demand has been active from the town and coantry trade, fine new Petersburgh yellow Candle bringing 42s 6d, and old 42s per cwt. For forward delivery many purchases have been made in new P. Y. Candle at 42s to 42s 3d for the last three months of the year; and 42s 6d for separate ixo . Vv. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and the usual Bench of Magistrates.) ASSAULT BY A POLICEMAN.—ChorIes Broadridge, a constable of the G division, was indicted for assaulting Mrs. Leah Welsh. Mr. Clarkson appeared on the part of the prosecution, and Mr. Payne for the defence. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutrix that her husband carries on the trade of a tobacconist in Lower Whitecrossstreet, St. Luke's, and on the 6th of August she went, accompanied by another married woman, to get some beer for her husband's supper, and that on her way to the public-house the defendant came behind her and told her to move on, adding that she was a common woman. He afterwards laid hold of her, and threatened to take her to the station-house, upon which she threatened to make a complaint of his con duct, and asked him his number. He then took her by the arm, and twisted it about so as to cause her consi derable pain, and she was so exhausted that she was compelled to cling to some railings for support. She was at that time nearly eight months gone in the family way, and she told the defendant she was faint, but he said it was no use her shamming anything of that kind, and pulled her away from the railings, and he held her by the arm, and thrust his nails into her tlesh so as to cause it to bleed. He afterwards pushed her, tore her shawl, and otherwise grossly ill treated her. When they got to the station-house the defendant charged her with having cieated a disturbance at the private door of Whitbread's brewery. The constable of the night, how ever, ordered her to be discharged, and she then went home ; on her arrival there she was taken very ill, and vomited blood. A gentleman from Winchester came forward, and con • firmed part of the statement. He came to London on purpose to give evidence on her behalf, having witnessed the treatment which she received. Mr. PAYNE addressed the jury for the defendant, and complained of the severe remarks on the case that had appeared in the public prints. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Court sentenced the defendant to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, named Joseph Pulbrook, was charged with having robbed his employer, Mr. Basset, ware houseman, of No. 34, Wood- street, of various sums of money, amounting together to upwards of 5001. The prisoner was brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of George Brunday, Mansion-house consta ble, to whom he confessed his guilt. Mr. Basset stated that the prisoner was in his employ ment five or six years as clerk and cashier, and in con sequence of a discovery made the day before, it was con sidered necessary to cause him to be apprehended. Wit ness charged the prisoner with having robbed him, and the prisoner said that the charge was correct, and that the plunder was to the amount of about 2001. After wards, however, he stated that he had robbed his em ployer of upwards of 5001. in all, and that he had been going on very fast for some time. The LORD MAYOR—Has he given you the names of any parties from whom he received money upon your account ? Witness—He has given me the names of several. The prisoner was remanded for a week, in order that several cases might be brought against him, with the necessary evidence. The prisoner, who is but nineteen years of age, had been • most confidentially employed by Mr. Basset. He had a variety of trinkets about him, amongst which was a very handsome diamond ring. Two young females whom he had been in the habit of visiting had benefited largely by his prodigality, and amongst his papers were found a couple of champagne dinner bills, the one for 81., and the other for 12/. The prisoner was remanded for a week A man named John Clark was charged by Mr. Ward, chairman of the Out-o&Door Relief Committee in Capnon•street, with having forged the name of a gen tleman to a letter recommending him to the notice of the Committee. • Mr. Wood stated that the prisoner called upon him, and said ho had been working at the East and West India Docks, and that he had been offered a situation at the docks in Liverpool, which, if the union accommo dated him with some money and clothes for himself and his wife, he could at once accept of. He added that he could get a letter of recommendation from Mr. Howell, the warehousekeeper at the East and West India Docks, and witness told him to call at Cannon-street at two o'clock, and bring the letter with him. The prisoner accordingly presented himself at Cannon-street, and produced a letter, purporting to be from Mr. Howell. Nine o'clock next morning was appointed for the deci sion as to the application ; and witness, upon seeing him, pronounced the letter to be a forgery, and told him that Mr. Howell would be in attendance in a very short time. The prisoner thereupon snatched the letter, tore it in pieces, and put some of them into his mouth, and threw the rest upon the pavement. Mr. Howell examined the pieces of paper which had been picked up, and stated that they were not in his handwriting, The prisoner was sentenced to imprisonment for one month, and hard labour. SOUTHWARK. William Turner was brought before Mr. Cottingham for re-examination, charged with obtaining 701. worth of leather of J. Wooland, a tanner of Bermondsey, under I false pretences. It appeared that between four and five months ago the prisoner obtained the possession of leather to the above amount from complainant, tendering him in payment a bill for 501., accepted by a person named Higgins, and the re mainder in ca'h. When, however, the former became due it was dishonoured, and, upon subsequent inquiry into the matter, it was ascertained that the prisoner had purchased the bill of a person named Sanderson for Si., who had pro cured it in the first instance of the acceptor, who at the period in question was a bankrupt. When application was made to Higgins, he asserted that he had no recollection of having given his acceptance to Sanderson for the amount, but admitted that be had sent two blank acceptances into the country, and that the one in question might have been filled up, and put into circulation, but he added that it was without his sanction. On the first examination Sanderson was in attendance, and admitted the fact of his having sold the blank acceptance, given to him by Higgins, afterwards to the prisoner, but that it was not filled up until after it had passed from his hands. In the course of the proceedings.it was stated that soon after the prisoner obtained possession of the leather belonging to the complainant, he left his usual place of abode, and although repeated inquiries were made to discover where he was, he was not met with , when he was given into custody. The the last few days The prisoner said he had purchased the bill for 51. of Sanderson, ignorant at the time the acceptor was a bankrupt, and that he thought it was a bona fide trans action. Mr. COTTINGUAM said it was ridiculous to suppose the prisoner was not fully aware of the nefarious nature of the transaction—the very circumstance of his admis sion that he bad only given Si. for a bill of 501. showed the character of the affair. That a most gross fraud had been perpetrated there was no question ; but to 'pro ceed with it and punish the delinquent, it was absolutely necessary, t'or the ends of public justice, to procure, if possible, the attendance of the alleged acceptor of the 50/. bill. The solicitor, on the part of the prosecution, said that every means should be exerted for the purpose, with the view to ascertain whether he had sanctioned Sanderson in the part that individual had taken in the affair. Yesterday, when the case was called on, the solicitor, addressing the magistrate, said that Higgins, the alleged acceptor of the 501 bill, being either in the country or abroad, his attendance at present could not be procured. Mr. COTTINGLIAM said, that it was palpable enough that a most gross fraud had been committed on the com plainant, but as Higgins was not present it would be im possible to proceed further in the case. The magistrate then addressing the prisoner, said, that he had offered to accept of bail for his appearance on that day ; but, in stead of procuring it, h© (the prisoner) had been locked up. Could he not have found the necessary sureties ? The prisoner said he had only one friend living in London, and he was out of town, and that was the reason he was compelled to lie in gaol. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that he should now adjudge the prisoner to enter into his recognizance in 1001. to appear on a future day, in order, if 'possible, to procure the at tendance of the alleged acceptor of the bill. The witness Sanderson, whose name is mixed up in the transaction, did not attend the examination. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.—SOIRE discussion has occurred in the newspapers on a cargo of about 900 tons taken' home by the ship Colchester of a substance be lieved by her commander to be guano, but which, on being submitted to examination, after her departure, turned out to be volcanic ashes. Curiously enough, considerable impertinence was used towards the party who had taken the trouble to examine it--an officer of a merchant ship coming forward to declare that the whole thing was a hoax, and "a very good joke;" the Colches ter having false specimens on board, which the captain gave away to mislead as to the nature of her cargo! It was clearly shown that there was neither hoax nor joke about the matter, the vessel having, -through the igno rance of her commander, been fille with a substance utterly valueless ! . THE FLEET-STREET PAVEMENT.—After all that has been said about this wonderful granite, that was to brave, for five-and-twenty years, the waggon and the cab, it has been found necessary to tear up a portion of it in consequence of its sinking condition. The woes and gee wo's of Fleet-street are really sufficient to melt a heart of stone, fur no sooner is the pavement allowed to rest on its bed, than its repose is violated by the rude hand of the pavior. The efforts of the shopkeepers to at tract attention to their wares from the few passengers who still, from old associations, haunt the street, are getting positively frantic. The keeper of a shop opposite St. Dunstan's Church has actually turned a selection of small articles smack into the street, on the chance of some of them being picked up by a straggler who may have the honesty to walk in and pay for them. Others have shut up their establishments altogether, and emi grated to the coast, probably with the intention of quit ting their native land for ever.—Punch. A MINIATURE NEWSPAPER.—In Alyth, a village in the north of Scotland, there is a regular weekly news paper published, price one halfpenny, and about half the size of an ordinary street ballad. A file of this minia ture journal is in our hands. It is entitled the Alyth Recorder, and as it takes a brief notice of what occurs in the district, is chiefly intended " to be ` transmitted by letter to friend s at a flistance." It records the fairs, public meetings, accidents, weather, births, marriages, and deaths, taking pltce in Alyth ; together with occa sional anecdotes, scraps of verse, and riddles.—Glasgow Citizen. WONDERFUL PERFORMANCES OF THE RABBI HERSH DANNEMARK. Oa Monday evening, Professor Rabbi Hersh Danne mark gave an exhibition of his " marvellous powers of sight and memory," in the Hebrew school,- St. Mary's street. In the small circulars which were issued, the rabbi professed to be able, " looking at any Hebrew book, never before shown him, after the number of the page and line had been pointed out to him, without open ing the book, to read the passage occurring on the page and line." It was also stated that he would exhibit other powers of sigh bordering orb the marvellous and super natural. In order to test tllls occult power, there was (notwithstanding the high charges for admission of ss. and 2s. 6d.) a-large number of persons present, among whom we- observed Mr. Braid, Mr. D Noble, surgeon ; Mr. J. A. Franklin, surgeon ; Mr. William Bally, Col. Wemyss, Mr. Alderman Bancroft, Mr. J. P. Lynill, Mr. Lucas, &c. For the purpose of his experiments the rabbi had five of the thirty-six large volumes of the Talmud, in the Hebrew text, with Chaldaic commentary on each side, which had been lent to him by Mons. Theodore, professor of languages, Upper Brook-street: Mr. Israel Levi having been appointed chairman and in terpreter, the rabbi, through him, intimated his wish that the audience would allow him to go through the exhibition in his own way, without speaking ,or ques tioning him upon any subject. They would be allowed to draw their own conclusions, but they were not to mention them to their neighbours, as it might cause a disturbance which would be injurious to the brain of the rabbi. He would go through all stated in the bill, but nothing else. The rabbi having expressed a desire that a Hebrew book should be handed to him, Mr. Braid said he thought it would be sati s f ac t or y t o t h e company, and to the credit of the rabbi, if he would at once perform an experiment, which would show him to be possessed' of the extraordinary power named, such as reading at that part of a book where the page had been doubled .down. He then produced a Hebrew psalter, with an in terlinear English translation, which he put into the hands of the rabbi. He professed to be able, if a pin were stuck through a. number of pages of any Hebrew book, to recite the words on which the point rested; but Mr. Braid objected to putting the pin through the book in a perpendicular manner, as there were many pages on which it might be said the point of the pin rested, so that it would be impossible to determine which in re ality was the proper one. Instead of that, he proposed to fasten the pin horizontally on one of the leaves, to close the book, and then ask the rabbi to tell the word which was pointed ; butt his he declined to do, as it was not in the bill. Mr. Braid then, according to the rabbi's instructions, put his finger on the cover of the psalter, and asked the rabbi to tell him the word at a point on page 56, corresponding to the situation of his finger. The book, however, was, opened at that page, though not directly in presence of the rabbi, before he told what words would be found there. He stated that on page 56, under the doctor's finger, would be found a Hebrew word, signifying " from the wicked." On opening the book, the word was found on that page, though about an inch from the point indicated by Mr. Baird. This first exhibition was received with great applause. A volume of the Talmud was then produced, and a number of gen tlemen were requested each to select a particular page, the first words of the first line of which the rabbi would tell them, without opening the book. Page 100 was first selected, and the rabbi stated that in the first line would be found characters signifying "he who exchanges," which, on examination, proved to be the case. The book remaining open at page 100, a gentleman asked for the first word on page 80. This, the rabbi said, would be three large characters, the translation of which was, " he who hireth:" and he also stated that there would be two lines more in that page than in the one which was then open. All this was found to be so, and was con sequently received with great acclamation. Still it af forded no illustration ol the " inexplicable and appa rently wonderful supernatural powers of sight," to which the rabbi lays claim. Admitting his wonderful memory, which it would be fully to question, it is not at ell diffi cult to imagine that he may have made himself familiar with the first words of every page of the Talmud, and their distinguishing features, hence the surprising re sults. It might have been observed, that before com mencing his experiments the rabbi opened the book, and thus had an opportunity of making himself acquainted with the particular volume which he had to operate upon. Let a Hebrew volume be produced which he has not had an opportunity of seeing before ; let the experiment be repeated, and on no account let the rabbi open the volume till he has answered the questions put to him as to the words which will be found on particular pages ; if the result in that case be the same, there will be some thing more inexplicable and nearer the supernatural than at present. The rabbi next requested a gentle man to read a verse or two from a small Hebrew book with a German translation, which he put into his hands, and stating that he could repeat the lines which were read to himself in silence by the gentleman. did so, but in this case he opened the book himself, so that he had an opportunity of seeing the page, and he also in sisted on the person reading the first lines of the page— again displaying, not only an . occult power, but his sur prising memory. Mr. Bancroft underscored a few words in a Hebrew book, al d requested the rabbi, if his powers of sight were so extraordinary, to tell him, by looking at the book, the words that were underlined. As this was not " in the bond," the rabbi declined to venture on the experiment-; indeed, be confessed his in ability to do so. • A piece of paper was placed before the rabbi, closely written upon, and he was requested to tell the number of lines it contained. In about 30 se conds, according to a gentleman's watch, he seid 84 or, 86, and being counted it was found to contain 84. This may, perhaps, display a rather quick sight, but cer tainly nothing superhuman. The whole exhibition did not display a single extraordinary faculty but that of memory. In the rabbi, that is certainly astonishing ; but till future experiments convince us to the contrary, we must conceive that, on the strength of that, he rather unwarrantably endeavouri to induce his audience to sup pose him gifted with some " apparently wonderful" su perhuman and occult power.—Manchester Guardian. THE POTATO CHOLERA. Much is said, and has been said, concerning' wht are termed " years of famine," but it is not generally known, that since the introduction of the potato into this country, no year has ever passed which, in some remote locality or other, has not been such to the un fortunate inhabitants. The climate of. Ireland is so unsettled, its soil so various in quality, and the potato so liable to injury from excess of either drought or moisture, that we have no hesitation in stating the startling fact of this annual famine as one we can vouch for, upon our own personal knowledge, and against the truth of which we challenge contradic tion. Neither does an autumn pass without a complaint peculiar to those who feed solely upon the new and unripe potato, and which ever since the year 1832, is known by the people as the potato cholera. With these circumstances the Legisla ture ought to be acquainted, inasmuch as they ate cala mities that will desolate and afflict the country, so long as the potato is permitted to be, as it unfortunately is, the staple food of the people. That we are subject, in consequence of that fact, to periodical r.:currences of dearth and disease, is well known and admitted ; but that every season brings its partial scourge of ' both these evils to various remote and neglected districts in Ireland has not been, what it ought long since to have been, an acknowledged and established tact in the sanatory statistics of the country. Indeed, one would imagine that, after the many terrible visitations which we have had from destitution and pesti lence, a Legislature sincerely anxious for the health and comfort of the people would have devoted itself, in some reasonable measure, to the humane consideration of such proper sumptuary and sanatory enactments, as would have provided not only against the recurrence of these evils, but for a more en li g h tene d system o f pu b l i c health anScleanliness ' and a better and more comfort able provision of food for the indigent and poor. As it is at present, provision -dealers of all kinds, meal-mon- gers, forestallers, butchers, bakers, and hu x t ers , com bine together, and sustain such a general monopoly in food, as is at variance with the spirit of all law and hu manity, and constitutes a kind of artificial famine in the country ; and surely those circumstances ought not to be permitted, so long as we have a deliberative legis lature, whose duty it is to watch and guard the health and morals of the people.—Carlton, in Dublin Univer sity Magazine. ACCIDENT AT WESTMINSTER-BRlDGE.—Wednesday morning, about twelve o'clock, a man named William Jenkins, a labourer employed in the securing of West minster-bridge, missed his footing, and fell into the Thames. Several boats put off to his assistance, and he was rescued, and after restoratives were adminiitered he was conveyed to his home. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A fatal accident occurred on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway on Sa turday last, to a person of the name of William Solomon, a labourer, employed a short distance from Kendal. An inquest was held at the Hyena, on Monday, before Mr. R. Wilson, coroner, when the following particulars were adduced ;—James Dixon, of Kendal, railway labourer, sworn and examined, said, " On Saturday morning last I was at work on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, near Mr. Bainbridge's house, in the township of Natland. The deceased, William Solomon (who was also a la bourer on the line), was working beside me at the same place. He was bringing a waggon down the line, to be coupled to one which I had assisted to fill. The wag gun was laden with sand and stone, and was moving down an incline towards our waggon, and deceased was to stop it by the use of the break. We thought the waggons were coming too quick, and we called on de ceased to use the break ; and, when he was stooping for the break, another waggon which was behind him over took the one he had charge of, and jambed his head be tween the two waggons, and crushed his skull. Ile imme diately dropped down upon the ground, and I, with the as• sistance of some other persons, removed him to Kendal. We lirought him on in one of the company's carts, and he died on the way home. The deceased was walking alongside the waggons when he attempted to put the break on, and he had to stoop with his head between the two waggons, the one behind overtaking that which he was stopping by the break. There was a man at the break of the waggon which was immediately behind the one in deceased's charge. He was holding on at the break with all his power, and there was no blame to be attached to him for the accident. There was a man at the break of each waggon, and no one was to blame. Deceased should not have stooped with his head between the waggons ; it was not necessary for him to do so to bar the break. The deceased was about 23 years of age, and his death was caused entirely by accident." Thomas Thexton, of Kendal, railway labourer, exa mined, said—l was present when the accident happened on Saturday, which caused the death of William Solo mon. I have heard the examination of the last witness, James Dixon, read over ; what he has there stated is quite true, and I have nothing to add thereto. Verdict, "Accidental death.' FRANCE AND SPAIN. (From El Espeetador.) The policy of France is recorded in our contempo raneous history in mournful pages. Immense evils have invaded 153 from the other side of the Pyrenees ; twice has the liberty of the Peninsula expired in the hands of France ; for years and years has our nationality been absorbed by the influence of the Tuileries ; our despots have constantly received all their inspirations from the Court of the Seine, and when this occurs—when the Spanish people know that it occurs—French diplomacy dares to present a French candidate for the hand of the Queen's sister, as if the Queen and her sister were capable of placing themselves in open hostility towards the opinion of a country which has lavished for them its treasures and its blood ; as if the Queen and her sister were unaware that the injuries which the Spa nish nation has received from France, must per force have left in all parts of the country profound wounds and inextinguishable resentments. No ; amongst all the matrimonial candidates whom the foreigner can com bine for the purpose of destroying our nationality, none is so utterly repugnant as a French Prince. What matters it that the rulers of our unfortunate country level the Pyrenees to the policy of France, govern with out any inspiration of their own, and consent to retain no more vitality than what France lends them, and no more ideas than „hat France imposes upon them? Reminis cences have raised other Pyrenees more inacessible than those levelled by our rulers. Saraeossa is one chain of Pyrenees ; Gerona, another ; the 2d of May, another! —Will our Afrancesad 35 be able to level these Pyrenees? But it is not the animosities engendered during the War of Independence which principally mark the fron tier which separates us from France. These animosities would have died away, had not new and continued injuries been perpetrated to exasperate them afresh. The wounds which our nationality had received would have eventually healed up, had not fresh assaults torn them open again when they were already on the point of being cicatrized. France has always been our enemy; the same when she threatened us with an armed in vasion, as when she discovered her covetous looks under the veil of fraternal friendship. The same when she sent us her soldiers, as when she sent us her advice; and she has assuredly cost us fewer sacrifices by her baronets than by the exotic principles which she has sought, in spite of us, to acclimate on our soil. France has always been our enemy, and it is certainly repugnant to our ideas to have to express ourselves in this manner in reference to a nation which has, more than any other, bequeathed heroic deeds to the history of liberty. " No, France is not your enemy," we shall, perhaps, be answered by those who reject in France the system of lies which oppresses them as we reject it in Spain. "France is not your enemy ; the country which gave birth to Voltaire and a reception to Rousseau—the country of Mirabeau and Manuel, of A. Carrel and La fayette—the country which has given for apostles of liberty such men as a Dupoty and a Lamernais, cannot be the enemy of those who, with less force and talent, but with equal zeal and constancy, oppose the tyranny of man over man, profess the sacred principle of the sovereignty of .the people, and anxiously hope that the world may become rejuvenescent, and recover new life under the beneficent rays of the sun of liberty. No, France is not your enemy, nor can France be the enemy of Spain. In the nineteenth century there are no,such things as hostile nations. It is not France, 0 miserable Spain ! that opposes 'the development of your felicity and the reconquest of your rights ; it is her Govern ment—perhaps her dynasty ; but nothing but her Government and her dynasty." Yes, it is true, we will reply, it is nothing but her Government, nothing but her dynasty ; but they are all dynasties and Governments. Napoleon, that is, the empire, crosses the Pyrenees, enters Spain, penetrates the fastnesses under friendly pretences, and forthwith intimates his will to us from the heig,hts of the ramparts, with the cannon on the batteries and match in hand, and says to us, " You are mine." Spain is filled with corpses. Napoleon falls. The Bourbons recover their throne in France. During their reign, Spain, weary of suffering, makes a desperate effort, breaks her chains, and a sanguinary struggle is established between new ideas and old musty prejudices. The liberals are aban doned to their own strength. With all this, the enthu siasm is great, and the triumph secure ; already is the balance turning in their favcur, when Louis XVIII., that is to say, absolutism, flings 100,000 soldiers into the opposite scale, and the ancient system is triumphant! Spain is filled with scaffolds. At a later period the re volution of 1830 hurls the Bourbons from the territories of France, and an Orleans occupies the vacant throne. He occupies it constitutionally. French absolutism gave to Ferdinand VII. bayonets to destroy the constitution ; but French constitution alism does not give the Liberals of Spain bayonets to destroy absolutism. Ferdinand VII. dies ; Isabella 11. finds a support in the constitutionalists, in order to triumph over Don Carlos, who disputes the throne with the assistance of the absolutists. The cause of Don Carlos is that of absolutism '; and Louis Philippe, that is to say, constitutionalism, only combats it in appear ance ; and whilst he offers Isabella 11. his sympathies, the Spanish Liberals have opportunity to remark that the cannons and mortars which pour death and destruc tion upon heroic Bilboa are of French construction The absolutists are divided and debilitated ; they are already unable to dispute the victory with the Liberals ; and, in their desperate situation, they put an end to the war by m, ans of a convention. This convention is a de cisive victory for the Liberals. ' Liberty remains tri umphant in tile plains of Bergara. In spite of this, liberty succumbs after having overthrown Don Carlos. It succumbs in the hands of afaction inspired by France —by a faction that M. Guizot himself designates by the fraternal qualification of " French party ;" it succumbs to the mephitic influences of France. With all this, it is not France which has entailed upon us all the evils which we have just enumerated ; it is her Government, her dynasty ! Yes, it is her Government—it is her dynasty —we allow ; but, we repeat, all are her Governments, all are her dynasties—the empire, absolutism and constitu tionalism, Napoleon—Bourbon, and Orleans. - And since it is not lawful for us to accuse a nation of the fatal influences which its Government exercises over another,-let us nevertheless be allowed, on the marriage question, to separate the cause of France from the per sonal cause of Louis Philippe. We reject the candidate which the latter presents us for the hand of one of the daughters of• Ferdinand, not as Spaniards, but as; Pro gresistas. The present situation is insupportable, and this situation would be perpetuated, if, unfortunately fur the country!, the candidate of Louis Philippe should prove triumphant. POLY TECHNIC INSTITUTION. A few days since a party of foreign scientific gentle men met at this establishment for the purpose of expe rimenting by the aid of the gigantic hydro-electric machine. _ _ W In order to give our readers some idea of the powers of the hydro-electric, we must remind them of the di mensions of the colossal plate machine of the Polytechnic. That apparatus, unrivalled as a plate, is seven feet in diameter, producing sparks of great size, and of danger ous power, capable of charging a surface of 90 square feet in one minute. The hydro-electric, however, charges the same extent of surface twelve times per minute, and produces continuous sparks eighteen inches in length. When in full action, in fact, it gives no inapt representation of a violent thunder storm. The rush of the steam through so many metallic tubes, the noise of the discharges, and the rapid flashes of light, might well alarm the spectator, did not the easy and self possessed manner of the director and his assistants prove how completely the monster is under the command of human skill. It is, however, a spectacle of much grandeur, and calculated to elevate our views of human intelligence and power, for here a man without rashness of empiricism, or the wild-daring of ignorance, has, by the aid of philosophy, been 'able toi create a thunder storm. Nor in using these expressions would we for a moment be supposed to intimate that the spectacle is all that the directors of the Polytechnic wish to accomplish. They have higher and nobler views—their object is to point out the available resources of science in preventing the dangerous consequences of electric atmospheric dis charges, and thus to disabuse the mind of its blind and slavish fear. Among the eminent and scientific gentle men, we observed the veteran electrician Professor Zrsted, of Copenhagen, Professor Matteucci, of Pisa, and Professor Schonburgh, of Upsal. LORD BROUGHAM AT A PIC-MC PARTY.- On Friday last, near Day son Scar, on a romantic yet sylvan scene, on the estate of Sir George Musgrove, by the margin of the Eamont, a party of about fifty young ladies and gentlemen held a grand pic-nicgathering. They were accompanied by a harmonic band of musicians. The party assembled between three and four in the after noon, and having recreated themselves by wandering along the picturesque spot, lighted up a fire, gipsy like, beneath the shadow of an old oak tree. Each " bonny lass" had furnished suitable crockery, and other essen tials, which were spread out on the grassy carpet, and soon afterwards the whole party partook of tea. It was an interesting scene to behold the various groups in their gipsying positions; and most agreeably were they sur prised, while they were enjoying themselves without the least restraint, by Lord Brougham and party dropping down beside them on the other side of the stream. After tea the company commenced dancing, ceasing only at nightfall.— Cal lisle Journal. DEATH BY ACCIDENTS.—On the 26th ultimo, the Act (9 and 10 Victoria, c. 93) for compensating the fa milies of persons killed by accidents, came into opera tion. An action can now be maintained against any person or company causing death through neglect or de fault. It must be commenced within twelve months of the death of the party, and be brought in the name of the executor or administrator of the deceased for the benefit of the wife, husband, parent, and child of the person killed. The Act does not apply to Scotland. [ ADVERTISEMENT ]. —SIGHT AND HEARING. Sent into the country free, by post.
