Very IMPORTANT and VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, embracing the entire PARISH of ADDINGTON, free of Tithes and Land-tax, and almost of Poor-rates, with Its spacious Mansion, excellent Manor for Game, the Advowson, and several first-rate Grazing and Dairy Farms, extending nearly to the town of Win slow, and only five miles from the county and borough town of Buckingham, distinguished as the family seat and domain of the late Hon. General Vera Poulett, forming a singularly eligible and solid investment for capital, in a proverbially rich and fine sporting SECRETARY PRO TEM. Wyndham Harding, Esq. PROSPECTUS. The object of this Company is to construct a direct and continuous line of railway, on the narrow gauge, from Cheltenham, through Northleach, Burford, and Witney, to Oxford, and thence, by Thame, to form a junction with the London and Birmingham Railway, at once opening the shortest route from those towns and the surround ing districts to the metropolis, and by means of the Oxford and itletchley, and other lines in connexion therewith, to Bedford, Cam bridge, Norwich, and the whole of the eastern side of the kingdom. The undertaking is promoted by parties locally interested in the -district through which the line will pass, in conjunction with the Shareholders in the Oxford, Witney, Cheltenham, and Gloucester Imiependent Company, who introduced a Bill into Parliament during the session which has just closed for making the line between Oxford and Cheltenham, which failed upon technical objections only. It will be the anxious desire of the Committee to consult the wishes of the inhabitants as to the terminus and mode of approaching the town of Cheltenham. A large proportion of the capital will be subscribed by the London and North-Western Railway Company, who have also agreed to lease the line in perpetuity, at a rent equal to four and a half per cent. upon the outlay, with an equal ( ivision of surplus profits. This line will reduce the distance between Cheltenham and London to 100 miles, being a saving of twenty-two miles as compared with the present route, and the distance between Oxford and London will be shorter than by the Great Western Railway, without taking into account the saving in time arising from the more convenient position of the London Terminus at Euston-square as compared with Pad dington, which, to parties going to the City and most parts of the byA e u a n n b s r unbroken e n this narrow biawnd g metropolis, may be considered as nearly equal to ten miles of rail waybe travelling. effected communication abd will betweenthere ge the Docks also Port of London and these of Gloucester, is no doubt eventually with Bristol, an object of considerable commercial importance. Worcester, and the important district of whi c h it forms the centre, will also be brought by this line within the same distance of London as by any other lines sanctioned by Parliament. It having been decided by Parliament that (with some exceptions, not applying to the present case) all new lines of railway shall here after be constructed on the narrow gauge, it is obvious that the traffic of the districts accommodated by tile proposed line will be best deve loped by a Company ill connexion with the existing narrow gauge lines, giving, at the same time , to th e public the advantages of that competition which the Legislature have recently evinced their anxiety to establish between rival Companies. Applications for Shares may be made, in the form given below, to the Secretary, at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 29, Great George street, Westminster. In the allotment of Shares, a prefer ence will be given to parties resident ou the line, or having local interest. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

DANIEL SMITH and SON are commissioned to announce that the ab•ve remarkably valuable and truly important FREEHOLD ESTATE will be SOLD by AUCTION, at the Mart, near the Bank of England, on THURS DAY, 24th of September (unless an acceptable offer shall be previ ously made by private treaty). It comprises the spacious and substantial MANSION OF AD DINGTON, with walled garden, capital stabling, &c., placed on a gentle elevation, nearly in the centre of one of the MOST FERTILE DOMAINS in the county, embracing the entire parish, nearly encircled by a fine brook, and chieffy rich grazing and dairy land, the whole tithe free, and let to old respectable tenants at rents amounting to about 2,6001. per an num. 'The perpetual Advowson, with its parsonage and glebe, and the Manor, which is well stocked with game, appertain to the es tate. The timber is nearly all elm, a certain proof of the fertility of the soil. The high turnpike road from Aylesbury to Buckingham passes through the property, close to the town of Winslow, and it is within a very easy distance of the several markets of Buckingham, Bicester, Stony Stratford, &c. This description of grass land is unlikely to be affected by any chancre as to Corn-laws or Tariffs, and the property therefore presents, with its peculiar and great local ad vantages, an indisputably line and choice property for the invest ment of money, with a most enjoyable domain for residence, being in a perfectly rural district, and in the centre of several packs of hounds. A station on the Buckinghamshire Railway will be very near. The property may be viewed by application to Mr. King, surveyor, Winslow, of whom particulars may be bad ; also of Messrs. Walker and Gridley, solicitors, 5, Southampton-street; of Messrs. Karslake and Crealock, solicitors, Carlton Chambers, Regent-street ; and every information obtained of Messrs. Daniel Smith and Son, land agents and surveyors, in Waterbo-place, Pall-mall. WINDSOR FOREST, vicinity of BRACKNELL and BINFIELD, and in the centre of the QUEEN'S HUNT, and within easy reach of Sir JOHN COPE'S FOXHOUNDS. MESSRS.

The house is - airy, and coin mands pleasant forest scenery. It has three best and three servants' bedrooms, and, though on a small scale, will he found replete with every comfort for a bachelor, or a small family. Also, in a separate lot, THE WEST-END PARK ESTATE, con sisting of nearly sixty acres of good park-like meadow and arable land, with the ancient mansion and offices (out of repair), and a good modern cottage, with walled garden, &c., attached. This estate is copyhold of the Manor of Wargrave, but the measures for improving this tenure, which have lately received the sanction of the Legislature, will no doubt, in a few years, render it equal to freehold. Particulars may be had, when the day of sale is fixed, at their Offices in Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, and Windsor ; of Messrs. Bloxam and Ellison, solicitors, 3, Lincoln's Inn-fields ; also at the Inns at Bracknell, Maidenhead, &c.; at the Mercury Office, Read ing ; and at the Auction Mart. PUBLICATIONS.

PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY GENERAL MOS QUEIRA, PRESENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF NUEVA GRA ID NADA, AT BOGOTA, JULY 2, 1846. Granadians,—When I entered on the exercise of the supreme power to which I was called by the voice of the people and votes of the Congress, I found the republic threatened with disturbances in the south. I took the oath required by the! constitution, and I engaged to dis charge my duties faithfully, to be guided by the laws, and to do all the good in my power for the nation. It has been my constant endeavour to avoid all revolution ary contagion, and, preserving the strictest neutrality in regard to the dissensions prevailing in the Equador, to refute by my acts the accusation of being favourable to the policy of the then existing Government in the Equador. If, however, our relations with that republic became so complicated as to render it necessary to apply to Congress for permission to go to war in case they should not do us justice, I adopted that line of conduct which I had prescribed for myself so soon as I ascertained the tendency of that resolution, and the nature of the risks we had to meet. The appointment I made of an able and prudent ge neral to the command of the first division gave them to understand that it was not the love of martial glory which actuated me, and the result has corresponded with my expectation. The present administration of the Equador, animated by the most patriotic sentiments, have investigated and discussed any disputed points with an interest truly American. Through the medium of a public functionary and the general commanding in the south the utmost cordiality prevails at present in the re lations between the Columbian states, and peace has been firmly re-established ; both Governments have signified their prompt approbation of the conditions agreed to, in the true spirit of that desire to promote the friendship and union which serves as a basis for interna tional communication. Granadians—Peace is secured to us; we have given a noble proof-of our wish to preserve it amongst kindred nations. I entreat you to forego and forget all grounds of complaint. Let us, by our conduct and setting the example, effect a complete reconciliation with our bre thren of the Equador, so that all doubts may be dissi pated from amongst them of the discontented being enabled to occasion disorders under favour of our arms. This sentiment has operated powerfully on my mind, and induced me to accept the olive branch of peace held out on our frontiers by the Envoy of the Equador. It ought, likewise, to have due weight with you in eradi cating all antipathies and sympathies for one or other of those who were once our fellow-countrymen. Citizens—The public order is maintained and peace secured. I call on you to assist me in the important work of national improvement which I commenced im mediately on my assuming the supreme power of the nation. You all know my administrative programme in this respect, and .1 rely on your effective co-operation in opening channels for the exportation of our produce, and the exploration of our mines. Steam navigation will soon be seen on our coasts, and shortly after ex tended to the Magdelena. To these improvements the immigration of useful labour will soon follow, when the national prosperity will be the best guarantee for the preservation of order and of our independence. The rights of property shall be respected, and your personal liberty shall not be violated. Such are the du ties of the Government and its officials. The tribunals and magistrates execute the laws rightly, and we have nothing to wish for in this capital but that those laws should be made perfect and their working simplified. The ieal which the National Congress displayed in the session of 1846, with that I shall employ to bring to completion the useful works I have referred to, will insure the perfect organisation of civil and criminal processes in the course of next year. The important reforms made in the revenue depart ments, agreeably to the laws passed on that subject, have commanded, together with the public works, my immediate attention, and called to my assistance the most intelligent of our compatriots, and which was so necessary to promote the measures I had undertaken under the sanction, and with the aid of your represen tatives. 5 0 5 0 -ITON MEETING, 1846. Fellow-citizens—If at another time I led you, by order of the then Government, to victory, I now call on you to march with united energy to a more solid glory, to a civic victory; that the reconciliation begun by the admi nistration of 1841 may be consolidated, that no one may talk of past troubles, and that all Granadians may hoist but one standard. 4 10 25 soya. each. 10 ft., and 5 Monday next, the 28th of yr.

In govern ment affairs there should be no dissensions, since the duties we have all to perform are prescribed by the laws, and whoever attempts to injure the working of our constitution cannot be a good citizen. Should you think that in the course of my administra tion I should not be guided by principles the most expe dient and necessary, you can discuss the question through the much-appreciated liberty of the press, which is duly respected, and which I am bound to respect. Those who wish to address any observations to the Government direct, may rely that they shall be fully considered and duly investigated, to ascertain if they are just and rea sonable. Those gentlemen who have been selected and appointed to the political and financial departments of the state, profess the same identical principles set forth in my messages addressed to the Legislative body; they are, however, at libery to resign whenever their opinions do not coincide with those entertained by the Govern-' merit. Should the opposition in the Cortes constitute a larger majority than that which now supports me, it shall share in the Government with me, for such is the prac tice made perfect by the aspicious representative system on which our constitution is founded ; by the same rule I shall continue to nominate and appoint those who exe cute the orders of the Executive Government.

On a former occasion I had to appreciate your courage and your privations. You were my companions on many a dreary day, but now you are the guardians of your country's prescribed rights. You have acquired the most enviable glory, that of citizen soldiers ! On such a solemn occasion as the present, when I address you in consequence of the public peace being secured, I consider the present a favourable opportunity on public grounds, to exercise the more agreeable duty with which the constitution has invested the Executive Power, that of granting an amnesty to several Gra nadians, who, having deserted their duty, offended the laws. I hope and trust that they will return repentant to their respective homes, and become as good citizens as the immense majority of their countrymen. " Granadians !

PIG KILLING.—On Wednesday last, a strong muster of knights of the cleaver took place at . Ely, to see a match come off between Hall, of Cambridge, and Thomas Shearman, of Ely, for la aside, he who could scald, dress, and clean two ten stone pigs in the best style in the shortest time to be declared the winner. An umpire having been appointed, and arrangements com pleted, Hall won the toss for the choice of pigs. Shear man then put to work the knife and steel in a good work manlike and expert manner, accomplishing his work in the short space of fifteen minutes and ten seconds. Hall then went to work, but was less fortunate than his com petitor, not being able to finish his task in less than twenty-one minutes. Of colirse, Shearman was declared the winner, much to the annoyance of many o f H a ll' s friends, who were sanguine of his success.—Cumbridge Chronicle. We regret to state that Lady Wetherell and her aged mother, the Hon. Mrs. Warneford, on Saturday sustained another domestic bereavement, by the demise of Mrs. Long, sister to the former, and daughter to the latter, who expired at her residence, near t h e N ew-road, after a protracted illness. Lady Wetherell, it may be added, is sole heiress to her mother, who is widow to the late Colonel Warneford.—Bristol Journal. SALES BY AUCTION.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of Prussia, attended by the Countess Haack and Count Puckler, arrived at the Euston-square terminus yesterday morning, from Cashiobury Park, Herts, the residence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. The Princess was received by his Excellency the Chevalier Bunsen, the Earl of Denbigh, and Baron Witzleben. Her Royal Highness, attended by the whole suite, visited and inspected Guildhall, the Mansion House. the East India House, and the General Post-office. The Princess afterwards proceeded to Marlborough House Pall mall. At a quarter before two o'clock the Princess of Prus• sia, accompanied by his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and attended by the Countess Haack and, Count Puckler, left Marlborough House in an open carriage to pay a visit to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, at their residence at Kew. A dejeuner was served soon after her Royal High ness's arrival. The Princess of Prussia remained to dinner with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelitz. The Cheva lier Bunsen, Prussian Minister, and a select party, had the honour of joining: the royal circle at dinner. In the evening the Princess of Prussia, accompanied by Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, returned to Marlbo rough House. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenbur g Strelitz left town on Saturday for Tun bridge Wells. Sir Stratford Canning transacted business at the Foreign-office yesterday. Dispatches were received on Sunday at the Colonial office from the Governors of the West India colonies. STRAND THEATRE. " And then there was Mr. Martin Archer Shee's Alasco, Which, if the Chamberlain hadn't refused to license it, would have been a fiasco," sung poor Theodore Hook ; and undoubtedly in those days Alasco, had it been represented, would have been represented not once, but only part of once, for the audience would never have tamely sub mitted to the infliction of the five dull acts which were perpetrated by the now President of the Royal Academy. We will not, however, venture to prophecy what might be its fate if represented in the present day, seeing that the Maid of Warsaw, a very diluted edition of Alasco, was received last night with great applause at the Strand Theatre. The plot of this drama is very simple. Ulric Sobeiski (Mr. Gregory), a patriotic Pole, rouses his countrymen into rebellion against their Russian oppressors. His sister Eva (Mrs. Percy), who is betrothed to Werter (Mr. Carle), a Pole, falls into the power of the Russian commander, Brutan dorff (Mr. Waldron), who, of course, niakes love to her; and also, of course, his love is rejected. Ulric arrives at the fortress, by a secret passage, just in the nick of time to save Eva from the ravisher. Ulric is arrested, and sentenced to die as a traitor. He is shut up in a dungeon, and has an interview with Eva, whose virtue is made the price of his life, in which he urges her to resist to the last, and expresses his willingness to die for his sister and his country. By order of the tyrant he is led forth to execution in the sight of Eva, who falls dead, but the executioner's axe is arrested in its descent by the victory of the Poles, who rescue Ulric, who kills Brutandorff, and falls upon the neck of Werter, the affianced of Eva, and the curtain falls amidst the cries of triumph of the regenerated Poles. The dia logue is, of course, seasoned,with " Liberty," " Poland," " Tyranny," " Oppression, "Our country," &c., &c., and all the usual patriotic claptraps—add a cowardly Russian corporal, enacted by Mr. Attwood, who endeavoured strenuously, with au energy worthy a better cause, to " make fun," and you have the tragedy. It is long and heavy, and absolutely without interest ; and, as a specimen of the dialogue, we give the following extract from a speech spoken by Mrs. Percy in the cha racter of Eva:— I feel around me coiled a rope of ice " , That like some c reep i ng rept il e, & c. Now, we should like to see a pictorial illustration of this passage. A rope of ice would o f i tse lf b e a novelty ; b u t a rope of ice like a creeping reptile would beat the " What is it." The only thing that saved the play was the acting of Mr. Gregory and Mrs. Percy, both of whom exerted themselves to the utmost, and saved the play. But we would put it seriously to Mr. Gregory— who, we presume, having w eat h ere d th e s torm, w hi c h was most unjustly raised against him, intends seriously to make the stage his:profession—whether he is not risk ing his fame by thus lending himself to make bad plays. Were he firmly fixed upon the stage he might afford to do so; but he cannot do so yet, because there are those who would be but too glad to visit the defects of the play upon the actor, and say, that, although in Shakspe rian characters, where he can imitate others, he may be passable, he cannot create a part. We are not of this opinion—we believe that Mr. Gregory is a great actor, but as yet he cannot afford to waste his powers on such characters as Ulric. We would advise him to turn his attention to known characters which have at pre sent no representatives on the stage. For in stance, Zanga in the Revenge, or Pierre in Venice Preserved, or a character which, if we mis take not, he represented with great success, as one of the Shaksperians, and which will also prove his versa tility, Falstaff. These are characters which we should recommend him to make his own before he attempts to create a new part. There are also many of our old plays which he might revive, such as The Cardinal of Shirley, with great effect ; and when he has thoroughly established himself in these parts, then he may attempt to create new characters, and he will find authors who can write willing and eager to back him. We throw out these hints, because we believe Mr. Gregory to be en dowed with histrionic genius. If such wero not our firm opinion, we should treat him as an amateur, and " let him gang his ain gait." The house was crowded, and Mr. Gregory and Mrs. Percy were called for at the fall of the curtain. CREMORNE GARDENS. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Charles Green made his last ascent this season from the above gardens, in the " Nassau Balloon." The unusually fine weather of the present season has not been allowed by the proprietors to pass unheeded; the public have therefore, at short intervals, been presented in rapid succession, with al fresco breakfasts, balloon ascents, hats champetres, &c. The announcement, that yesterday evening's ascent would be the last made by Mr. Green for some time, succeeded in attracting vast crowds to the gardens, which were at an early hour thronged to excess by a very respectable company,. who appeared hi g hly de lighted with the process of inflating th e b a ll oon, w hi c h was performed through the medium of the huge dry gas meter. At about five o'clock, all the preparations having been satisfactorily concluded, Mr. Green entered the car, and the balloon was allowed to ascend into the regions of air. The wind blew somewhat strongly from the east; the hallown was therefore soon lost to the view of the gratified spectators assembled in the gardens. Mr. Green was accompanied in his mrial voyage by eight of his friends. The ascent of the balloon was immediately followed by a grand promenade concert, a la Musard. We have before alluded to the excellent manner in which the music is given here. The performance last night w as i n no way inferior to that of former occasions. Among the pieces given by the band were, overture, M asan i e ll o ; introduc tion and waltz, Bohem i an Girl; fantasia, " The Night Patrol ;" and, for the first time, the " Warsaw Polka." In the vocal concert which was given several songs met with much applause. There were, " W an t e d a Gover ness," " Ah, why do we love ?" " Tyrant, soon I'll burst thy chains;" " The GondOlette;" " Ladies' chit-chat," &c. The performances in the theatre consisted of Mr. Cowell's "Yankee Entertainment,' a favourite d a n c e by Miss Parkes, and the never-t iring evolutions of M. Corvi's monkeys, dogs, and goats. After these varied entertainments dancing was commenced with much spirit on the Parisian platform and in the ball-room. During the dancing the orchestra performed the following fa vourite music:—" The Sylphide, B?.yadere, and Ore morne Polkas;" " The Nino Quadrilles;" " The Ibra- THE RIVER PLATE. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 21.—8 y the Margaretta, which arrived off Cape Clear on Saturday last, we have ad vices from Monte Video to the 14th of July. The 45th Regiment had departed for the Cape of Good Hope on the 4th, in her Majesty's ship Resistance, and the 73d Regiment was to leave in a few days for the same destination. A letter, dated July 13, says : " By this it would appear that the crisis is at hand. Certainly, the arrival of the steamer-Devastation, with Mr. Hood on board, has created a great sensation. Mr. Hood arrived on the 3d. Orders had been received to place 100 men on the lines, to repair the holes and to build up the trenches. "It is evident," says the writer above quoted, "from the conflicting orders issued, that Hood and Rosas were fighting for the mastery." Rivera was reported to have retired to Las Vaccas, as a considerable force had collected in his neighbour hood to oppose him. A whale boat had just arrived at Monte Video, from Buenos Ayres, with dispatches, but their import had not transpired. It was stated that Baron Mareuil, the French Minis ter, had arrivel at Buenos Ayres, in the steamer St. Juan d'Ulloa, direct from France. FEARFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—As the nine P.M. train was leaving Rugby station for Leicester, on Satur day last, an engine belonging to the London and North- Western Railway Company was standing below the points at which the Midland line diverges from the for mer ; no sooner had the engine and tender passed the points, than the engine-driver of the London and North- Western Company turned on his steam, and the result was that the engine ran into the train before it had cleared the line, broke four of the carriages, throwing them off the rails, and tearing up the latter for some distance, whilst several of the passengers were seriously shaken and bruised. Mr. Hudson, the chairman to the Midland Company, but better known as the " Railway King," was in one of the carriages, but escaped unhurt. Assistance was promptly rendered to the sufferers, to whom every attention was paid by the officials of the London and North-Western Company, and, after a de tention of about an hour, the passengers were placed in carriages belonging to the latter company, and for warded on their journey. The guard was so seriously injured that he was obliged to be left behind. We un derstand that the engine driver, through whose careless ness the accident occurred, will undergo an examination before the magistrate. The Prince and Princess of Salerno left Brussels this morning at eight o'clock. SIR ROBERT PEEL AT HOME.— COB Wednesday last about two hundred neighbours, servants, and other friends of Sir Robert Peel, were entertained by the Right Hon. Baronet and his lady, near his residence at Dray ton Manor, at dinner and tea. After dinner the numbers greatly increased, and dancing, besides a variety of rus tic games and pastimes, commenced. Sir Robert and his lady seemed to enjoy the festivities as heartily as any person present. The day was very unfavourable, but in the evening the weather cleared up, and contributed much to the enjoyment of all present. The kind and affable manner in which Sir Robert and his lady entered into the enjoyment of his party diffused general haPPi ness,..../31nninidiam Jounzai. 2 ' ~~~ • HAMBURG!! and FLANDERS MAM• N CONSTANT/NO PLB , S EPT. 2. —O n the night of ~,.. 24th of August, a dreadful fire broke out at Adrianetple,'N-F.!,17) in the populous Jewish quarter of that city, and, in spite of the utmost efforts to arrest the progress of the flames, destroyed in a few hours GOO houses, large and:s=l47' 1-77\g-f 110 magazines of mer c h an di se, 40 taverns, 6 synargAsPA? and several stores.

The sufferers have saved scarcely anything. Several children are said to have been burnt, and manYhandred sheep perished in the flames. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 17.—Yesterday, about one o'clock, the opening of the beautiful sluice of Ileysh took place. This ceremony attracted a great concourse of spectators from Bruges and from the neighbouring places, who were eager to be present at a fete so important to the inhabi tants of Flanders, as it indicates the completion of one of the most useful works which have been undertaken for many years, and which will protect the two provinces of Flanders from the annual ravages of inundation. The meeting of the commission, i ns tit i e e d f or t h e ame lioration of th condition of the working classes is fix d for Monday next. The question for the order of the day is, to inquire into the measures to be employed under the present circumstances effectually to assist the indi gent, and especially of the population of Flanders, who were formerly engaged in the manufacture of linen by the handloom. The general programme of the fetes and ceremonies which will take place on the anniversaries in September, has just been published and placarded by order of the magistrates. It contains no other regula tion than those which we have already announced. The arrivals of corn are at this time very considerable at Antwerp, within these three days alone thirty ships, laden with wheat and rye, have entered this port. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 18.—We learn with pleasure that two important projects of law are proposed by the de- • partment of Justice, one on the treatment of lunatics, and the other on the public pawn este blisments, Monts de-Piete, and may be laid before the Chambers at their next session. By a royal resolution of the 2d of August, M. Callery, interpreter to the Extraordinary Embassy of his Majesty the King of the French in China, is nominated Knight of the Order of Leopold for the active part which he took in the negotiations, the result of which was to regulate, on favourable footing, the relations of the commerce and navigation of Belgium in China. The punishment peculiar to the naval service of their country, that of being lashed to the rigging hand and foot, was undergone by one of the sailors of the Sar dinian corvette L'Aurora, on her arrival at Woolwich on Friday. The poor fellow remained " 'twixt earth and heaven," suspended in the fore shrouds for four or five hours, and appeared, from his writhings and contor tions, to be suffering considerably. THE FREE BATHS AND WASHHOUSE ESTABLISH MENT IN GLASSHOUSE-YARD.—Thi S establishment has now been open for twelve months. In the course of the year 27,622 bathers, 35,480 washers and dryers of clothes, and 4,522 ironers, have made use of the premises. The working expenses have been under lid. a head, although soap is allowed to each bather, and a portion of soap and soda to each washer of clothes. Quiet, orderly, and civil conduct has universally prevailed amongst those fre quenting the establishment. At the commencement of the experiment there were only two baths, and to suit the demand to the means, six persons had to use the same water successively ; by greater dexterity, the re - sult of practice, and the addition of two other baths, two or three persons at the utmost were permitted to use the same water. Since the erection of two more baths, six altogether, each individual bathing is supplied with pure warm water, soap, and a clean towel, except where mem bers of a family desire to bathe together. The water has been supplied gratuitously by the East London. Waterworks Company. FIRE ON A RAILWAY.—On Saturday last, as a merchandise train was going along the London and North- Western Railway, a piece of ignited coke escaped from the engine when near the Wolverton station, and dropped on the tarpauling covering the truck; from the inflam mable nature of the materials the flames rapidly spread to three other trucks, the contents of which were nearly destroyed before sufficient assistance could be rendered; one of the trucks was laden with a valuable cargo of indigo. It is but justice to state that the London and North-Western Company have taken every precaution in their power to guard against such casualties as the foregoing, by directing the servants in their employ to throw a quantity of water on the covering of the trucks, at short intervals; but from the extensive warmth that has prevailed during the summer, the tarpaulings have been so heated as to ignite upon coming in contact with the smallest portion of fire. KINGSWINFORD.—FATAL MINE A CCIDENT.—A. fatal accident occurred on Thursday weel., to a man named James Millington, whose death was occasioned by an explosion of sulphur in a pit which he worked at Hart's Hill. The mine was considered perfectly safe, and had been examined with the safety lamp, but the foul air is so rapid in its accumulation, large quantities being frequently liberated in the working of the mine, that before the men became aware of it the explosion took place. Several poor fellows were badly burnt, one of whom, named Thomas Winwood, expired a short time after at Millington. The others are in a fair way of recovery.—Birmingham Journal. SERIOUS ACCIDENT NEAR THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—On Sunday evening, about six o'clock, an accident, attended with serious consequences, happened to a lady and gentleman named Marks, residing at Rod ney-terrace West, Mile-end-road, near the Maryland point-bridge of the Eastern Counties Railway (Colchester line), at Stratford. Mr. and Mrs. Marks had been cut tbr an evening drive, and were returning over the above bridge, when the engine driver of one of the trains " blew off his steam ;" and the shrillness of the whistle caused the horse in the chaise to start off at a furious rate. Mr. Marks did all he could to stop the speed of the horse, but without doing it, and on getting to the corner of Well-street, the wheel came in violent contact with the lamp-post at the corner, and both were thrown out of it. They were picked up in a state of insensibility, and carried hit° the Cart and Horse public-house, where they were attended by Mr. Valiance, surgeon, Stratford. They were subsequently enabled to be removed to their residence in a fly. DEATH OF LIEUT.-GENERAL OWEN.—Lientellant-, General Robert Owen, one of the oldest as well as one of the most distinguished officers in the British army, ex pired on Friday last, at his seat near Dublin, at the ad vanced age of 82, no less than 64 of which were spent in the service of his country. He entered the army as an infantry officer in 1782, a somewhat momentous period, and was then but 18 years of age. His services were of a most distinguished character, though confined to the early wars of the Georgian reign. He took part at the siege of Fort Bownbow, and the captures of the Islands of Martinique, St. Lucia, and Guadeloupe, in 1794. He was also present in the different actions when the latter island was attacked by the French sea and land troops in 1795. On his arrival in England he commenced the direction of the movements with regard to the troops doing home duty, and was not, in conse quence, employed in the Peninsular and other wars that followed. On the occasion of a brevet in 1841, he re ceived a lieutenant-generalship, but unfortunately no other honours awaited him. He never received the colonelcy of a regiment, nor was he decorated. FROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES.—From a private letter, addressed to one of our correspondents, dated " Ifobart Town, April 20, 1846," by a gentleman resi dent in that colony, we learn that Frost, the leader of the Chartist body at Monmouth, was at that period a clerk or warehouseman in a large grocery establishment. That Williams is still in the police force of the colony, at the same salary as paid to the other constables, one shilling and ninepence per day; he bears the character of being a good officer. Junes was in the police also, but on ac count of his good conduct he was appointed as guard to the mail, and recommended for indulgence; he has since received his ticket of leave, and was living at the date of the letter with a watchmaker at Launceston, at a good salary. It is a remarkable fact that Sergeant Hadley, who filled the post of " principal drill" in the Birming ham police force, under the late Commissioner, is now filling a similar situation in the police force of the above colony under the same gentleman. Hadley, it appears, was transported for embezzlement some time since.— Birmingham Journal. A CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—On the forenoon of Monday last, while some boys were watching a pair of swallows feeding their young, behind Charlotte -street, a hawk, skimming along the eaves of the houses, suddenly pounced upon the nest and carried away two of the brood. One of the parent birds having witnessed the onslaught, instantly gave utterance to a peculiar cry, which, as by the power of incantation, quickly convened a noisy and enraged swarm of comrades from all quar ters, who, with one consent, gave chase to the destroyer, and overtaking him ere he had got half across the Inch, commenced such a desperate attack that he soon gave evident signs of being fairly over-mastered, and ulti mately sought the ground at a short distance from the Fishers' Lodge, where he bravely tried his best to repel the onsets of his assaulters, hut was compelled to relin quish his prey and seek for safety in inglorious flight. After his departure, which was effected under no little molestation, the swallows then set about the conveyance of the young ones to the nest, which, it is said, they effected in fine style, and seemingly to the satisfaction of the whole tribe, who gave unmistakeable signs of being more than usually pleased on the occasion.—Strutnwre Journal. THE Bisnormc or AIANCIIESTER.—The death of Dr. Carey, Bishop of St. Asaph, gives rise to the con solidation of the two sees of St. Asaph and Bangor in one see, according to the Act of Parliament of 1836, and the order in council of 1838 ; but needs the consent of the Bishop of Bangor to carry it into effect, otherwise it must remain in statu quo until the death of that prelate, when the two sees will become the united see of St. Asaph and Bangor. As the present net annual revenue of the see of Bangor is only 4,4641., and the amount of the revenue of the proposed united see is fixed at 5,2001., we can hardly suppose that Dr. Bethel, the present Bishop of Bangor, will decline the offer of the united see, with an additional revenue of 7361. a year. Assuming that thia prelate accepts the united see, then one consequen ce o f that act, as we understand the Order in Council, is the erection of Manchester into a bishopric forthwith.

EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE OF HONEY. —Last week the gardener of James Wintle, Esq., Grey Friars, in this city, took from one stock of bees in that gentle man's garden, a comb weighing no less than 851b5.; the net weight of the honey which it yielded was near 601bs. —Gloucester Chronicle. CHILD DROTPING.—On Saturday night a fine male child, warmly, but poorly clad, was left in the hall of Mr. Kelly's bookbinding establishment, Water-street, Strand. The constable on duty conveyed it to the union workhouse, where every attention was paid to the found. , ling, Whp is not more than 4 fortnight old. ti S iGLiSii and SCOTTISH LAW LIFE -- ASSURANCE and LOAN ASSOCIATION.
