RAILWAY METROPOLITAN TER MINI. The novel sight will soon be witnessed of many hundreds of men employed in the very heart of Lone don in the construction of a railway. The London and South-Western Company have now got pos. wession of nearly all the property necessary for the extension of their line to Hungerford-bridge, and the most active preparations are making for commencing the construction of the works without delay. There will be a magnificent station at Hungerford-bridge. The extent and style of the erection may be inferred from the fact, that its cost will exceed 100,0001. The expenses of constructing the extension line from Nine Elms to Hungerford-bridge, including the pur chase of property, will not, it is supposed, be under 600,0001., making with the station, 700,0001., or the enormous sum of 350,0001. per mile. The South- Western Company, though making their prin cipal station at Hungerford-bridge, do not mean to stop there, but are to extend their line to London-bridge, where means will be adopted to connect their station with that of the Lon don and Brighton, the South-Eastern, and the vari ous other companies, which have their termini on the east side of London-bridge. It is calculated that the expenses of extending the South-Western Railway from Hungerford-bridge to London bridge will be about 400,000/., making the sum altogether expended by that Company, in carrying its line from Nine-elms into the ce.ntre of London, upwards of 1,000,0001. The extension to Hungerford-bridge is expected to be finished in eighteen months, and that to London bridge in three years. Mr. Hudson, also, has it in contemplation to erect a new station at the Shoreditch terminus of the Eastern Counties, and which he is de termined to make the most handsome and commodious work of the kind which has yet been constructed in this or any other country. The estimated cost will exceed 150,0001. BANK OF (From last N An Account, pursuant to the Act the Week endhig on Saturday, BRIE Du X.

A meeting of the shareholders in this company was held this day at the London Tavern, Mr. Jackson, chair m,n of the company, in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report of the pro ceedings from the date of the last report down to the present day. From this document it appeared that considerable progress had been made with the works on the railroad from Florence to Pistoia. Mr. Brunel had communicated a report to the directors of the company, which he had received from Mr. Bab bage, resident engineer, which expressed a confident opinion that the first 10i miles, from Florence to Prato, could be opened during the next summer if the neces sary materials required for the plant and permanent way shall have been received in proper time from England. The directors having been furnished by the company in Florence with funds for the requisite purchases, had lost no time in entering into contracts for the proper supplies. The Tuscan Government had agreed to permit the im portation free of duty of everything to be used in the construction or the working of the railway. The in terest due on the Austrian and Piedmontese bonds, forming the depcsit with the Tuscan Government, still rk mained in the hands of the Government with the ori ginal deposit. The total amount of interest recei%4Kl and due on this and other investments to the 31st of December would amount to 8,7001. The half-year's interest, at 4 per cent, paid and due on the .company's shares to the 30th of June last,lwas about 2,7001., and a similar sum would be payable on the 31st of December next, making together 5,400/. Deducting this latter sum from 8,7001. there would remain a surplus of 3,3001. of interest in favour of the company, available in rc duction of the expenditure, which, calculated up to the 31st of December, 1846, would be about 8,1001. The amount of the funds in the hands of the directors, after paying 44,6861. 4s. 9d. instalments on the Florence and Pistoia Railway, was 4,443/. ss. 6d. and as further instalments on these shares must shortly be paid, the directors had resolved to make a call of 11. per share on the company's shares, payable on the 19th of October next. It was estimated that this call, in addi tion to the payments already made, amounting alto gether to 41. a share, would afford sufficient capital to complete and stock the line from Florence to Pistoia. The SECRETARY then read the a naneial statement, which exhibited an account of 145,0951.,105. 6d. on the debtor side, and on the credit side a sum of 66,8091. 13s. 7d. ; deposited with the Tuscan Government, by cash in hands cf the company's bankers, at :interest in Italy, 15,5231. 13s. 8(I., &e. _ _ _ ; The CIAIRMAN said that this report, coupled with that before submitted to them, gave a full ac count of the proceedings of the directors from the commencement of the undertaking. The directors had obtained for the shareholders a con cession—a line which ran through a rapidly improving district thickly inhabited. They had formed an al liance with the most wealthy capitalists of Italy, and they now stood in a position that would render it very difficult to shake their stability. With respect to the portion of the line to Ancona and Rome, it was rather a delicate subject to enter upon. The late Pope threw obstacles in the way of all railways being intro duced into his dominion:. The present Pope, however, took a different view, and they had now every proba bilty of success for the undertaking in the states of the Church. He thought it right to mention that it was the intention of the directors to call the company together, probably in a short time, and he could assure the meeting that they would take no steps with out consulting the wishes of the shareholders in that company.—(Hear, hear.) The only liability to which they were subjected was the retaining of the shares, and if this were not complied with the shares might be forfeited. By paying the present call of 1/. a share, they would have two-thirds of the stock in their hands. The directors had stipulated to deposit 60,0001. in Tuscany. The line would be opened in August next, and would be completed in eighteen months at the farthest. The Chairman concluded by proposing that the, present as well as the preceding report should be adopted. A discussion of some length Here ensued as to the legal position of the company with reference to responsibility, which terminated in the resolution, which was seconded, being carried, and another resolu tion, that the directors should not make any further advances with the line without the sanction of the share holders. Thanks were then voted to and acknowledged by the Chairman, after which the meeting separated. TAW VALE RAILWAY AND DOCK. (THIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the registered pro prietors of this company took place to-day, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of considering the pro priety of adopting or rejecting a provisional agree ment, bearing date the sth of the present month, for the sale of the railway, docks, and works to the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company. The meeting was attended by a large and influential number of the proprietors. Emanuel Cooper, Esq., took the chair, and after some considerable discussion had taken place with reference to the course pursued by the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company in their negotiation with the directors of the Taw Vale Company, a resolution was unanimously adopted to the following effect:— That in the opinion of this meeting the provisional agreements of the 25th of May, and the sth of Sep tember, between the directors of this company and the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Company, are not beneficial to the proprietors of this company, and ought to be rejected." , The meeting, after some further discussion, adjourned.

Geneva has been in excellent demand for exportation and prices are still on the advance, as the stock is on the decrease, common has been selling at 2s 5d to 2s 6d, indeed in some cases 2s 7d per gallon has been paid. Home consumption sorts are higher. British Corn Spirits have been extensively dealt in, and prices are still rising. In English Gin a large business has been transacted, and a considerable rise in the value has occurred. Government seeuri7 ties (including Dead SALTPETRY.—To-day 1,752 bags of Calcutta were offered at public sale, and taken in above the value, 4 to 3* per cent. refraction at 2Gs 6d, a few lots sold at 24s for strong grey unrefracted and washed at 24s 6d to 25s per cwt. OlLs.—There has been a brisk demand for Seal Oil this week for home consumption; several export orders have been executed, and an advance in the value has taken place. The business transacted has been larger than for some time; merchants manifested much firmness. Cod has been only in limited request, and there are sellers at 271 lOs ; the tendency of prices is down wards. Southern of all, qualities is wanted, chiefly by the home trade, but the supply at market is small at the present time. Sperm Oil has not risen in value, but the demand has been brisker privately. There is, however, a fair supply of all qualities at market. The arrivals of Fish Oil have been upon rather a more extended scale, and several parcels are near at hand. Cocoa Nut is still much in request, and, owing to the small supply at market, buyers have been compelled to pay further advanced rates. No further advance in prices can be quoted for Palm, but the demand has been brisk. Tarnow.—Russian has been much in demand on the spot, and in consequence of the arrivals being small for the period of the year, buyers have been compelled to pay further ad vanced rates, numerous purchases having been made at 43s 3d to 43s Gd for fine new Petersburg yellow Candle, and at 42s 6d to 43s for old, even at which prices there are not free sellers, as stocks in the hands of soap makers and chandlers are small.

None of the officers of the company being present, neither the chairman (the Hon. H. Berkley), or any of the direc tors, solicitor, or secretary, shortly before two o'clock, Mr. Knox was unanimously called to the chair, upon taking which, he animadverted in most severe terms upon the conduct of the chairman, the directors, and officers of the company, in the course they had pursued, and unhesitatingly declared that the directors had been guilty of a breach of trust in the appropriation of the funds of the company. From the results of the accounts submitted to the last meeting, it would appear that the solicitors and agents of the company had been paid 8,2731., and that there was still due to them 9,514/., mak ing a total of 17,787L—(Cries of" Oh, oh.") The en gineers and surveyors had been paid 6,0841., and there remained due 4,0214 making a total of 10,1051.—(31h.) There had been paid for printing, stationary, and adver tising, 2,484/. Tradesmen's accounts, to the amount of 1,3371. had been paid, and 872/. was still due. For secretary's superintendence, office and house ex penses, 2,164/. had been paid, and 3001. remained due.— (Cries of •' Oh, oh.") The assets nominally of the company were 22,4341. ; of this sum they had been told 16,0971. had been applied to the purchase of shares, about 4,0001. had been attached in a law suit, 164/. was due from another railway company, 1,800/. was named as the value of the lease and fixtures, and only 374/. was i❑ their bankers' hands to meet claims amounting to 14,7161.—(Cries of " Oh, oh," and " Shame, shame.") In the circular addressed to all the original allottees the directors stated that they were prepared in February last to pay the necessary deposits into the office of the Accountant-General, although they stated that they had invest( d 16,0001. Mr. John Bentley, Mr. G. D. Clarke, and Mr. John Clark, having been appointed scrutineers, one of those appointed at the last meeting having discovered he was not a shareholder, Mr. G. D. CLARKE read the report of the committee of investigation appointed at the last meeting, from which it appeared, that all information by the directors, the solicitor, and the secretary, was refused to be given to the committee appointed by the shareholders, and that that committee was treated with contempt and defiance by all the officers of the company. The report concluded by stating that the committee regretted that they were unable, in conscquence of the course that had been adopted, to throw any light on the affairs of the company. The committee were, however, of opinion that every exertion should be made to ob tain is dissolution of the company, and to prosecute the strictest investigation into its affairs, as well as into the conduct of the promoters and managing committee. —(Hear, hear.) But, after mature deliberation, the committee were not prepared to recommend that the dissolution should be takcn to be an act of bankruptcy. They %ere, however, of opinion that out of the disas trous state of the company this consolation might be extracted, that the transaction of the so-called invest ment of 16,0001., and other circumstances, would enable the shareholders to recover the whole of the deposits (Hear, hear) and they would have the power to take measures to compel the directors to do them justice. The committee, in conclusion, ex pressed their unmitigated indignation at the culpable in difference, or premeditated defiance, to their wishes on the part of the managing committee, which they con sidered alike insulting to them, and the large body of the shareholders. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of September 25.) SUGAIL—To-day no further advance occurred in the value of West India Sugar, but at previous rates, a fair business was transacted for the scale and pan, 350 hhds and trcs finding buyers, including a public sale of 102 hhds and trcs of Barbadoez, which went briskly at full prices. • REFINZa.—To-day Refined goods were much sought after by the home trade, but few parcels were to be had, and prices are still rising, brown Lumps, according to quality, selling at 63s to 64s 6d, and Standard Lumps at 65s 6d per cwt. Crushed Sugar in much better demand at 33s 6d for the best. MAußrrius—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius Sugar offered at public sale was large, and amounted to 11,255 bags, but the demand was active and the whole sold at full rates, especially for the bright grocery and strong re fining so] ts. A long discussion then took place with reference to the question of dissolution, in the course of which the conduct of the directors and all the officers of the com pany was most severely animadverted upon, and a de termination expressed to use every means to bring them to account for their disgraceful conduct in the affairs of the company. The scrutineers then proceeded to take the votes of the shareholders, and at five o'clock they reported that the number of votes they had taken was 7,763, that of that number 7,628 had voted for the dissolution, and 235 against it; that 1,833 voted for the dissolution being an act of bankruptcy, and 5,730 against its being so. The CHAIRMAN declared that there was not a sufficient number of votes present to constitute a meeting under the Act that could declare the company dissolved, and the meeting broke up, thanks having been voted to the Chairman. A meeting of shareholders was then held for the pur pose of considering what course should be adopted in order to compel the directors and committee of manage ment to account to the proprietors for the manner in which they had conducted the affairs of the company. Mr. Knox was called to the chair, and a resoln.tion was unanimously passed that the committee of share holders should call a public meeting for the purpose of considering what measures should be taken to pro mote the interest of the shareholders, and obtain justice from the directors. The meeting did not break up till nearly six o'clock. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. A meeting of the friends of Alderman Wood was held yesterday, at the Crown Tavern, Bow-lane, Cheap side, for the purpose of adopting the means necessary to secure his election to the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. Mr. Deputy MUDDLE was voted to the chair, and ex plained the object of the meeting, and stated also that some difference of opinion existed between the friends of Alderman Wood, with respect to his standing for the Mayoralty this year, but that the majority were cf opinion that he should do so. Alderman WOOD here entered, and was unani mously applauded. The worthy Alderman en tered into a detail of the events connected with his private character, and alluded to the manner in which he had discharged the functions that had been vested in him by his brother liverymen of the ward, dwelling particularly on the way in which he distri buted the charities placed at his disposal by virtue of his office. Mr. Deputy LAKE then proposed, and Mr. WiLgOR seconded, a resolution to the effect that every person present should exert himself to the best of his ability to secure the election of Alderman Wood to the civic chair. ---- Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, after which the meeting separated.

Tg.t.—There has been little business transacted in Congou by private contract, although holders are willing to make a further reduction in prices, common for cash being ob tainable at Bd, and good common at 9d per lb cash. Pouchong, however, has been sought after, and the supply not being large, holders have obtained some what better prices. For green the market has a dull appearance, and prices are lowering for all sorts, the supply being large. Hyson of common quality has been sold at is 9d to is 10d ; Twankay, low to good yellowish leaf 9d to Is; plain Orange Pekoe 9d. to 10.1, scented is 9d to 2s.

EXTRAORDINARY PRESERVATION.—A man nearly seventy years of age, of the name of Walker, of Winslow, a pensioner, got up into a tree in that parish, on Thurs day for the purpose of getting rotten wood. He slipped, and one of his feet caught between two branches, whence he was suspended with his head downwards. He was in this state for twenty-two hours. When found the blood was flowing from his mouth and ears. It is be lieved that he would have been dead in a short time, but it is thought he will recover. He was about fifteen feet from the ground. FOREIGN CATTLE, Sze.—The latest arrivals of cattle and provisions at the port of Hull from the con tinental states have comprised the following list of articles, and are important and interesting as compared with the more extensive supplies to the port of London from the same quartet, and which frequently appear at full length in our columns t--=The Emerald Isle, from Rotterdam, brought 60 sheep, 64 eons, 2 bullocks, some packages of butter, and 500 Edam cheeses; the Transit, from Hamburgh, 3 firkins and 42 casks of butter, and 36 head of horned cattle; the Anne Kirstine, from Odensee, Denmark, 99 casks of butter; the Archi medes, from Hamburgh, 11 casks of butter, 2 calves, and 14 oxen; the Catherine, from Leer (Holland), 50 casks of butter; the Queen of Scotland, from liata burgh, 36 casks of butter, 18 swine, and 40 oxen; the Monarch, from Antwerp, some live calves, a novelty from Belgium; and the Leeds, from Hamburgh, 28 casks of butter, 17 pigs, 30 oxen awl cows, and other pro ductions. The arrivals mentioned took place in the course of a week at the northern port named. POST-OFFICE IMPROVEMENTS.—It is rumoured that in consequence .of the many earnest entreaties on the part of the public for increased post-office accommodation, in the course of a few days a series of improvements will be adopted. Dispatches of letters and newspapers are to be more numerous than they now are, both in town and in the provinces, so that the letters to and from the north of England, and those to and from Ireland and Scotland, are to be accelerated. Extra post-offices are already appointed in many towns and villages. Fees, of all kinds, are to be abolished eventually, and the sub ordinate officers, who have hitherto been the chief reci pients of them, are to be paid according to length of servitude, by a scale now before the Lords of her Ma jesty's Treasury of a most liberal and considerate cha racter. When the money-order office in Aldersgate steet is finished, the whole of the business of this im portant department (sill be transferred thither, and the rooms now used to be taken into the district post-office, which, in consequence of the increase of business, much requires enlargement. BOLTON-UPON-DEARNE.----A potato hasbeen brought to our office of a very remarkable description, and grown this season at Bolton.

For new Muscatels there has been a good demand, also for old Red Smyrna Raisins at 303 to 325, at which large sales have been made; the principal holder is now demanding a further advance. SPIRITS. —Although there are sellers of Jamaica Rum upon rather lower terms, still no increase has taken place in the demand : shippers and the home• trade buying all descrip tions with caution.

It will be seen from the following letter, read at a meeting of the Manchester Reform Association on Thursday, that Mr. Cobden has declined accepting the honour intended him of representing the borough of Manchester, preferring to maintain his connexion with Stockport, whose confidence, as he sayS+ has been so generously extended to him : " Bagneres-de-Bigorre, Hantes Pyrendwis, Sept. 17, 1846. " My dear Sir,—Ever since I was honoured with the offer of the representation of Manchester by the deputa tion of the Reform Association, I have been reflecting upon the subject to see if there were any public grounds which would justify me in complying with the wish of my Manchester friends ; but I confess I have been only confirmed in the objections I so strongly urged to the deputation against my removal from Stockport. If the change were calculated to advance any public principle —if, for instance, it would have enabled Manchester to have pronounced itself to the world through mein favour of free trade—then I am sure the electors of Stockport would have been the first to have applauded the step. But the free trade question being settled, no such ad vantage can be gained by the change, and I fear I shotild be fairly chargeable with personal motives, and a disre gard of those honourable ties which unite me to my pre sent constituents, if, under existing circumstances, I were against their wishes, to accept the representation of Man chester. "In a letter which has followed me to this place, I have just been informed that a requisition has been signed by a large majority of my constituents at Stock port, requesting me not to sever my connexion with that borough, and I have not felt justified in withholding, for a day, my acceptance of this renewed offer of their gene rous confidence. It remains only then fur me to express through you to the members of the Reform Association, my deep sense of •gratitude for their kindness. You will, I am sure, believe me when I say that to differ from rcy Manchester friends is to do violence to every predilection of my heart. But I feel strongly convinced that, upon full con sideration of all the circumstances of the case, they will arrive at the conclusion that the course I have adopted is consistent with sound policy, and that, on public grounds, I could not with propriety or justice have acted otherwise. " Will you oblige me by making this letter known to Lhe electors of Manchester, and believe me, my dear Sir, Faithfully yours, "RICHARD COBDEN. "John Potter, Esq., President of the Reform Association." _ The meeting was ajourned for three weeks, when the discussion on the representation of the borough will be resumed. It remains to be seen whether the consti tuency will determine upon accepting the services of Mr. Bright, as Mr. Cobden's coadjutor in the cause of free trade. ESCAPE OF THREE MEMBERS OF THE SWELL MOB. Yesterday Mr. Paynter and Mr. G. Clive, the two magistrates of the Hammersmith Police Court, were occupied for the greater portion of their sitting in inves tigating, by order of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the circumstances attending the escape of George Davis, William Barnet, and James M'Lean, three members of the swell mob, while being conveyed from the above court to Newgate for trial, on a charge of felony, on Wednesday, the 16th inst. The inquiry took place in the Police Court. Mr. Frere, a county magistrate, was present, as also In spector Morgan, T division. Price, the gaoler made the following statement of the circumstances : " On the 16th instant I was conveying three prisoners from the Hammersmith Police-court to Netvga:e, viz., George Davis, Wm. Barnet, and James M'Lean, anti As we had also one prisoner for the Westminster Bride well, we turned down Sloane-street, towards Cadogan place, when James M'Lean, slipped one of his handcuffs and jumped 'clean out of the cart, turned short round, and ran into Sloane-street, where I then observed a cart standing. M‘Lean did not get into the cart, I was so close to him, but he took hold behind, and was driven off. I followed, shouting " Stop thief," and " Police." There was one of the B constables close to the spot, but there was a waggon between the constable and the cart. I asked him why he did not attempt to stop M'Lean, and he said he was not going to have his guts trod out. I went on as far as Sloane-square, but not hearing anything of M'Lean, I returned to where I had left the prison cart, and found it gone. I then made inquiries in the neighbourhood, and I found that the moment I left the cart, George Davis and William Barnet, the other two prisoners, pushed George Pummell, the driver, out of the cart, .nd got away, but was retaken, and conveyed to the Ebury utreet police-station in Pimlico, where I followed as quickly as I could. I then gave informa tion to the sergeant on duty of M'Lean's escape, and a description of his person, and got then one of the B con stables to go with me to Newgate with the other two prisoners. From Newgate I returned to Bow-street, and gave information of the escape there, and from there went to Paddington station, and gave information there, and also at Kensington. I have been going on seventeen years in the service, and have conveyed upwards of seventeen thousand prisoners, and never had any serious accident before. I have a wife and large family de pendent on me for support." It appeared from other evidence, that Price, on the road, took up a woman who asked for a ride, and that she appeared to be acquainted with one of the three pri soners. It also appeared that Price, having some ap prehension that an attempt to escape would be made, had asked a police-constable to accompany him, but the latter begged to be excused, as he had three friends come to see him. The evidence will be immediately forwarded to the Secretary of State, who will forward to the magistrates his decision in the matter. THREATENED OUTBREAK AT ARDROSSAN. On Wednesday last, the village of Ardrossan was placed in a state of great alarm, if not some peril, from an accidental cause, which, howeVCr, passed away with out any serious harm. It appears that, Cu the preFeelL. g evening, a large party of Irish reapers, anNtu..ting, is said, to between 609 and 800, who had been i'ooked from Glasgow to Londonderry, by railway and stea47 l 7, arrived at Ardrossan so far on their way. The Isabelitit Napier, however, having been detained by the dense fogs which have recently prevailed, did not make her appearance to Alp the passengers, who, in the course of Wednesday mornjuk• and forenoon, begaa to lose all patience, and threaten a.Ometbing like military execution on the local railway supezvintendant, and the peaceful inhabitants to boot, unless the? we're forthwith put under weigh for Derry, in spite of the fog or any other of the casualties arising from the detentions and dangefa of the sea. The authorities and inhabitants of Ardrossan e.ndea voured to mollify the Irish " depotation," by repre senting the unforeseen and upavoicii.able cause of the delay, and the prospect of its immedii;te removal, but soft words had no effect upon them, and, as a clencher, the inhabitants—unguardedly perhaps—threatened, if they would not listen to reason on other terms, that they would turn upon them the guns of the fora which overlooks the village. A word to the wise is enough ; and no sooner had the threat been uttered, than the passenger rabble, which heel been parading the streets in hostile fashion in various Directions, fornfed together in a body, many hundreds strong, and marched up to the summit of the fort, where they formally took pos session of the hill and all its artillery, consisting C' five old guns and two ricketty mortars. Most mereifu.llY2 however, the successful storming party had 'whiner powder nor shot, nor did they know where to get them 5 otherwise they might have played in earnest the game against the good folks of Ardrossan, which the latter had threatened to play against them. On the strength of the demonstration which they had made, and the g round which they held, a foraging party made a seizure , o f a quantity of vivers in the village below, in the shape of about a ton of potatoes and a barrel of herrings, which is said to have had a wonderfully composing effect on the wultitude. In the meantime, an express had been sent to Glasgow by a respected justice of the peace, earnestly requesting the aid of a detachment of police, which, after conferring ;with the Lord Provost; and the Convener of the Officers' as'd Watchmen's Com mittee, Captain Wilson sent off by the half-past eight o'clock train, under the charge of two experienced di vision officers. Previous to their arrival, however, the Isabella Napier had made her long-looked for and wel come appearance, and was hailed as the much-needeol peacemaker. The passengers were embarked as SOON as circumstances permitted ; and the steamer sailed for Derry at three o'clock on Thursday morning. The Mi lesians, or Goths, as our Ardrossan friends may term them, gave three cheers when they went away ; and, no doubt, they will take the shine out of us by boasting to their own countrymen that they heroically took a Scotch fortified city, and kept possession of it for a night and a day.—Glasgow Herald. VAUXHALL GARDENS.-- CLOSE OF THE 114TH SEASON. —Yesterday evening the " Royal property " closed, after a season of unexampled prosperity, mainly attributable to the fineness of the weather and the very attractive character of the entertainments. The season extended over eighty-five nights—the longest on record —out of which there have scarcely been five wet even ings. It being the farewell gala last night, all the re sources of the establishment were brought into requisi tion to render the fete the most attractive of the season. 'lntl LATE BISHOP OF ST. ASAFH.—The mortal remains of this venerable prelate were removed from Portland-place on Wednesday last, and conveyed by railway to Chester, and tA t :ence to St. Asaph , the funeral cortege reaching there on 'il!irsday. The interment was to have taken place yesterday; in the cathedral of St. Asaph, when a large body of the cle.7y of the dio cese was to attend the obsequies, in addition !;o the im mediate relatives of the Right Rev. Prelate. SAVAGE ATTACK' ON A POLICEMAN BY POACHE2S• —A brutal outrage was, on Tuesday last, committed on policeman APKay, stationed at Fyfield, in this county. It appears from the constable's statement that about half-past one A.M., when on his beat between Forest-hall and Fyfield, he found a bag containing two hares, and on looking round saw a man standing at a short distance in a field. 11Pliay went towards him, and asked him what he was doing there, when the fellow without making a reply whistled, on which two others rushed out of the hedge behind the constable, and without a word being spoken the three at once fell upon and beat him with large knobbed bludgeons, many of the blows falling on his head, and but for the protection of his hat they would in all probability have proved fatal. He succeeded in wresting a stick from one of his cowardly assailants, but before he could defend himself he received other severe blows upon his head, and one by which the principal bone of his nose was completely severed, and he was rendered insensible. He subsequently managed to reach the cottage of the gamekeeper to Bramston Slane, Esq., and information been conveyed to Superin tendent Flood, the attendance of Mr. Pincott, surgeon, nt Ongar, was promptly procured ; we are glad to state that he is not considered by that gentleman to be in danger. It unfortunately appears that 31'11:ay would not be able to identify ether of the fellows, and we fear there is consequently little clue their discovery.—Chelnts ford Chronicle, CHERTSEY FAIR, SURREY.—This fair Was held yesterday, and was tolerably well supplied with stock. Well .bred milch cows sold off quickly, at 17 to 18 gui neas, and large framed Yorkshire-bred cows reached prices as high as 221., the small calf inclusive; cows to calve down fetched from 15 to 17 guineas ; sound and young cart horses made from 16 to 24 guineas, and colts from 12 to 18 guineas ; pigs maintained high prices— small stores at prices varying from 1 ls. to 16s. each, store hogs made from 17s. to 295. a head, good breeding sows ranged in prices of 30s. to 355. each. TnE OLD RED BRICK RECTORY HOUSE OF STI, JAMES'S, WESTMINSTER.—This building was gutted this week, and in the course of a couple of days will be level with the ground. It stood in Piccadilly, at the corner of Church-place. In this house (one of Sir Christopher Wren's) Dr. Samuel Clarke, when rector of St. James's, wrote his " Attributes of the Deity." Clarke, though fond of staying at home, was fond of violent exercise; he, therefore, amused himself with leaping over chairs and tables. Perhaps this kind of amusement had some thing to do with the necessity for rebuilding the house. ST. MARY'S, MARYLEBONE, AND PADDINGTON HOS PITAL.—MUNIFICENT BEQUEST. —Yesterday, at a meet ing of a number of gentlemen connected with the new hospital now in the course of erection near the terminus of the Great Western Railway, called the St. Maryle bone and Paddington Hospital, it was stated that since the last announcement made by the managing com mittee, the highly-munificent bequest of 1,000/. had been made towards the funds for the erection of so much required an institution, by the late Miss Preston, ot" Nottingham-place, New-road, Paddington. A legacy of a z/. had also been made by the late Mrs. Margoty, of Upper .33orkeley-street, Berkeley-square, for the same benetolen: purpose. FIRE NEAI.t. CHATHAM, SEPT. 25.—Early this morning a fire Woke out at the Elephant and Castle, a beer-shop on the .T..uton-road, a short distance from Chatham, and such was the rapidity with which the flames spread, that with the exception of a bed thrown from one of the windows, no portion of the stock or furni ture could be saved from the devouring element. The in mates escaped from a window with great difficulty, and at the imminent risk of their lives. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.—For several days past the surveyors of this line have been very busily em ployed aisout Harworth and neighbourhood, in forming the line , which was to have gone through Bawtry, but which is• now intended to go near Harworth and Styrrup, in its direction from Doncaster via Tickhill toll-gate, Blyth Norn ey, to Retford, about eighteen miles. Con siderable glee was manifested by the inhabitants of Tickilr, at tlheir first sight of a beautiful flag, which is fixed i it a high tree, near that place, but to the no less worth ication of their rival town, Bawtry. It is ru moure d that three miles will be gained by thus altering the lin c, and a saving of 30,0004 per mug on en average. a—,ll4i Wuhan Junl4 DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Madame Anna Bishop makes her debiit on Monday, October sth, in the character of Isoline, in Balfe's opera of The Maid of Artois. This opera was performed for the first time on the 27th of May, 1836, when the ever te-be-regretted queen of song, Madame Malibran Garcia, performed the part of Isoline. She was supported by Templeton, H. Phillips, Seguin, and Paul Bedford. The opera was very successful, and was played nineteen times. On the 16th of July it was played for the last time, which was also the last time the immortal Mali bran ever appeared on the stage. We understand Mr. Balfe has altered this opera so as to suit Madame Anna Bishop's voice, which is a true soprano sfogato, or high treble, and he has added a cavatina for the new debu tante, whose success lately on the continent has been most triumphant. Mr. Balfe has also written two new ballads, one for Madame Anna Bishop, the other for Mr. Harrison. We understand that the theatre will open on Saturday, the 3d of October, with The Crusa ders; on the Monday following Madame Anna Bishop will make her debut in The Maid of Artois. Mr. La venu's opera will be the next novelty of the season. On the 27th of November Mr. Balfe's new opera will be produced ; and Mr. Wallace's new opera will be the first novelty after Christmas. Report speaks very highly of the music of Mr. Wallace' s o p era , t h e lib retto o f which is of peculiar interest. Mr: Balfe is at Vienna, conducting his Bohemian Girl and his Four Sons of Aymon. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In volume first, page 232, of the " Life and Cor respondence of the Marquis of Wellesley," there is a note as follows: " Acre, taken by Richard Cceur de Lion— defended by the 'magnanimous Sir Sidney .Smith—taken by the no less gallant Commodore Sir Charles Napier." This is a mistake. Admiral Sir Robert Stopford commanded the attack on Acre. I have the honour to remain your obedient servant, CHAS. NAPIER. United Service Club, Sept. 24, 1846. We are happy to say that Lord Charles Beauclerk is recovering from his severe illness. Lady Charles Beauclerk is alarmingly ill, having ruptured a blood vessel, and is suffering from inflammation of the lungs. EXPERIMENTS AT THE ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOL WICIL—During the last and present week a series of experiments have been carried on at the Butt, in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, to test the strength and safety of largo guns constructed on different principles. The guns are 42-pounders, and the first experimented on was one of Monks' pattern, from which eighteen rounds were fired, double shotted and double wadded each round, having a charge of lOilbs. of powder. At the eleventh round the rear trucks of the gun carriage broke, and at the eighteenth round the gun burst in the breach. The experiments were conducted without the slightest chance of accident, every precaution having been taken to avert danger while they were carried on. The experiments were resumed yesterday with a 42- pounder gun, known by the designation of the Admiralty gun, and twenty rounds were fired from it, double shotted and double wadded, with lOilbs. of powder, the same as Monks' and it still appears quite perfect in every respect. MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—Mr. Sherer delivered his second lecture on Scottish minstrelsy last Bight, at the above institution, to a crowded and respectable audience, and selected for his subject " The Rebellion of 1 745," commencing by an illustration of the state of Highland society, the landing of Prince Charles, his meetings with the brave Lochiel, and the enthusiasm with which the chivalrous Highlanders rallied round the standard of es the on l u a n pn f ee c o r r i do t u od n t, e a s t a e on fd li t r hi i ne n t c rm e o , od s i u n tc t pi e nr r go s p ms e io r nm s e i n en g t oa f t c h tto e hr m es with of that i interes t ing t e e r v e choicest songs that were written for the occasion, which he sung with great taste and skill—the audience testify ing their delight by frequent applause. Such entertain ments we have always commended, and the directors of this institution deserve credit for their attention in encouraging and promoting lectures of so instructive and agreeable a nature. Mr. Sherer was encored in several of his songs; he also deserves patronage. DEATH IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON.—Mr. Charles Fitzpatrick Schreder, about thirty-two years of age, died in the Queen's Prison yesterday. The deceased had stated that he was with the late Marquis of Wel lesley at the time of his Lordship being Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, and that afterwards he resided with Lord Wellesley- at Richmond, and was treated as one of the family. Mr. Schreder was brought into the prison only eight days since, and was then in the last stage of con sumption, and it is thought by the medical gentlemen (Messrs. Coulthred and Jones) who attended him, that death was accelerated by the fatigue of removal. Every attention was paid to him by the governor and deputy governor of the prison ; but he never rallied after en tering his room, We understand that Mr. Schreder was brought to the prison at his own request, being anxious to prevent his bail from becoming responsible for heavy sums which he bad lost, and been swindled of, in betting and gambling transactions. The deceased, we bear was 4 =MO man, and has left lk widow grad mend ob:ildrent COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. SEPT. 21.

ARRIVAL OF THE LATE COMMODORE'S YACHT, WITH THE BODY ON BOARD. SEPT. 25.—At two o'clock the report of a cannon from the Vice-Commodore's yacht announced the arrival of the Kes trel, and it was followed by minute guns from the Reindeer, the Royal Yacht Squadron battery, Mr. Pigott's yacht Gany mede, and Sir C. Ibbetson's yacht Anaconda, each firing sixty. five guns, the number of years the deceased nobleman had lived. All the shops and houses in the town were closed. All yachts, Government vessels, and merchant shipping had their flags half-mast, as were the flags on the different castles and on the flagstaffs along the harbour, and will continue so till the departure of the yacht, which is fixed to take place at one o'clock on Saturday. The Government have ordered the Myrtle steamer to attend her to the Downs, and the Lightning from thence to Grimsby, on the Humber, where the body will be landed on his Lordship's Lincolnshire estate, and conveyed to its last resting-place at Brocklesbury, in the most private and unostentatious manner, and, by his Lordship's request, only one mourning coach will attend the hearse. He will be borne to the grave by the crew of his yacht. He was a sailor from choice, and an admirer and supporter of everything nautical. Some men would wish to die at home, that is all their anxiety—he died happy in his favourite yacht, and at sea. His last moments were those of the man who dies in peace with all the world, and who is not conscious of ever having done an injury to his fellow man. Dr. Queede, Captain Johnston, Mr. Denham, and Mr. Murray were by his bed when he expired, without a groan or a sigh, nor was there any alteration in his countenance. "We ne'er shall look upon his like again." The differences in the Royal Yacht Squadron were always amicably settled by him; he was, in fact, the cord that bound the club together. Another Commodore will have to be elected at the annual general meeting in May next. The present Earl and Lady Charlotte Copley arrived at their brother's, the Hon. Dudley Pelham, at St. Lawrence, on Tuesday last. Soon after the arrival of the yacht, Captain the Hon. D. Pelham, R.N., at tended by Captain H. Love, R.N., and John Bates, Esq., R.N., Secretary to the Royal Yacht Squadron, went on board, remaining a short time to give some directions. The captain appeared in a very weak state. The Kestrel has her yards topped in opposite directions, her flags half-mast, and to the eye of the landsman, as well as the sailor, appears in disorder, and as if the master was no more. On her depar ture the same number of guns will be discharged from the Royal 'Yacht Squadron House and the yachts. The Hon. D. Pelham and, it is believed, Sir Joseph Copley, goes round in the Kestrel. The funeral is expected to take place on Thursday next. APPROACHING MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE. We have to announce a marriage, stated to be on the Lapis, between Lady Elizabeth Grosvenor, daughter of the Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, and sister of Lady Prudhoe and Lady Parker, with the Hon.

Miss Smythe, daughter of Viscount Strang ford. Among the marriages in high society on the eve of taking place, we can announce that of Mr. Hugh Horatio Seymour; only son of the late Lieut.-Colonel Hugh H.

SUICIDE AND ATTEMPT AT /vlunnErt.—Early on Thursday evening a woman, named Chippenham, threw herself, together with her daughter, a child about four years old, from the Sun Pier, at Chatham, into the Med way. A son of Mr. Robertson, surgeon, who witn esse d the circumstance, flew to their r escue , and by his heroic conduct was the means of preventing their being carried away by the tide. On the bodies being brought ashore several medical men attended, and every means was used for their recovery, which, in the case of the child, fortu nately succeeded, but the mother died about two o'clock on Friday morning. Deceased was the wife of a man formerly in the Royal Marines, but now the keeper of the Royal Marine beer-shop, close to the barracks of that corps. Family differences are said to have led to the rash act. IMPRESSIONS OF VENICE. We landed at the Custom-house, where a very sever© and very elaborate examination of carpet-bags and baskets detained us for a very vexatiously long period, and we were then turned adrift to our fate, being pro nounced innocent of evil intention towards the sea Cybele. We engaged another boat and rowed briskly onwards towards Venice in good earnest, lx,"r buildings rising up like fabrics in a dream, from the blue; expanse, as we entered her watery streets, shot under the. - arches of the Rialto, and stopped suddenly at the foot of the flight of steps, giving entrance to the Leone Bianco. To me there was nothing melancholy, nothing gloomy, about the appearnce of the city ; all was brilliant, sur prising, bustling, and animated ' • along the quays boat men and market - people were busily employed ; on the shores were crowding sails and flittiag boats—those strange boats st:en only in that region ; the form of the palaces was so exq,:lisite, with their ranges of pointed arches and Moorish t 1 eery, some of them splendid and fresh looking, all touched and glowing with the rays of , the mid-day sun, that I forgot all that I had heard of the tristev e, the sadness, the gloolily ruin of the place, and saw in it only a "glorious city in the sea." We aectired a suite of rooms, all hanging over the Canal' Grta:de, and for an hour, I had nothing to do but to stand gaz;ng, in fixed and delighted admiration, on the picture of Venice spread out before me. There was the reality of all my day-dreams ; there, beneeh my balcony, rolled and 'sparkled the deep blue sea, aer, ass its quivering bosom darted innumerable gondolas, 6 , 13:aek but comely," with shining silver lute-shaped prows, any i rowers with gaily to they stand flowered jackets, urging them along, usual method, row ing in a manner directly opposite to this but in the same way as on the Italian .lakes. There rose, within a few yards of me, the theme Of song n ad romance, the noble arch of the Rialto ; there, jla.ring in the clear water, lay reflected, and there glowed iar reality ranges of palaces once covered by the fresco es of Tit.iad and Tintoretto, their lace work parapets cut sharply out against the intensely blue sky, and the deep rich shadow' of their long arcades brought boldly out by the searching beams of a sun, so golden and so genial, that it seemed as if no cloud could change its lustre. Numerous white sails gleamed along the shores, and many boats lay moored to the frequent and high pillars striped with the gay colours of Austria. Barques which wore not the gondola shape nor hue, but with bright coloured awnings and painted sides, Shot across the canal, and under the peopled, bridge ; and as far as I could see, all was life and movement on the bread expanse of the Canal' Grande. * * Having satisased myself with home news, I hastened to set forth, and WA S soon in the midst of the tole of Venice, with her write)' streets ap pearing every two or three minutes beneath X:- he bridge of steps, which are crossed on the way to Merceria, and the Mazzo di San Marco. These cede of passagos are filled with shops all pretty and gay, though rater small and necessarily confided ; painted Indian mats', glass beads, models of gondolas, and every description of trifle, such as the Palais Royal at Paris can furnish, are crowded in the windows and in cases outside. A continued stream Or pedestrians poured along, making the whole scene as gay as possible, and nothing appeared that could for an instant impress me with the idea of ' Venice being dull.—Miss Costello's Tour to Venice. APPREHENSION OF IN CENDIA- RIES IN ESSEX. BRENT WOOD, THURSDAY EVENING.— For several weeks past the spirit of incendiarism has prevailed to a considerable extent in Essex, more especially within the circle of a few miles of this (Brentwood), and on the borders of Suffolk. Scarcely a night passes but a fire of some description is discovered. The pepetrators have been ascertained to be mere lads in three or four cases which have been brought before the magistrates. In this journal about a fortnight since, appeared the particulars of an extensive fire on the pre mises of a farmer named Hill, residing at Wenningtoni near Rainham, at which property amounting to between 1,-:00/ : and 1,5001. was destroyed. This was the work of au :ncendiary, but at the time no one was suspected. Since thOu circunntances have transpired which fix con siderable su:Ticion on a lad in the employ of Mr. Hill, eel a fire took place near who was seen going towards the stack of corn imme to be the work of an diately before the fire, ,Last in custody on the charge. Bocking, which was prove.: incen diary, and two lads are nod* Another happened at Badfield, a third at Ockendon, and a fourth, on Friday last, at Groat Warley. With respect to the latter fire, the incendiaries, who are quite lads, were apprehended, it may be said, almost in the act, the fire having taken place tit three o'clock in the afternoon. Yesterday they were taken before the Rev. John Healy Lewis, chairman of ate bench of ma gistrates for the Brentwood division, when the following evidence was given : When placed at the bar the prisoners, whd were mi serable-looking half starved lads, gave their names as William Mason, John Clegg, and William Sm ith, and pleaded not guilty to the charge. Mr. Arthur Shuttleworth, of Great Warley, saiC that he is a farmer residing in the parish of Upminster. On the 19th of September last he had five stacks in a Md. leading from Warley to Upminster, two of them were stacks of oats and one of beans, and saw them safe at one o'clock in the afternoon. About two hours after he was at work in one of his fields, with a boy named Wakeling, about twonty-five roods from where the stacks stood, w hen he saw . three lads, whom he believed to be the pri soners, sitting of a gate about three roods from the stacks. Shortly atl`f!r three o'clock, having left off work, they were passing the 5', 4 , - acks when they heard a crack ling noise, and the boy callej out that the stacks were on fire. He ran directly towards ,`,hem, but in less than five minutes they were all on fire. Ewa' were destroyed, with the exception of half of one of the stticks of wheat. William Wakeling corroborated his maister's testimony, and, in addition, said he saw the boys ge: off the gate and go towards the fields where the stacks wer:t standing. Ephraim Hancock, of Brook-street, and Heni" v of Brentwood, also deposed to seeing lads whom tL'ey be lieved to be the prisoners sitting on the gate near the stacks, and afterwards seeing the latter in flames. William Eldrid, constable of Warley deposed to ap prehending the prisoners, who were followed by a man named Cressingham, from the gate leading to Mr. Shut tleworth's field. He searched them, and in the right hand pocket of Smith's trousers he; found a lucifer-bOx, but no matches were in it. Upon one of the other ri soners he found a knife. Other evidence having been given, the prisoners were committed to take their trials for arson at the next Chelmsford Assizes. It was ascertained from subsequent inquiries, that the prisoners were not known in the neighbourhood, and had slept the previous night to the commission of the crime in the West Ham Union. SALE OF THE FREEHOLD ESTATE OF ADDINGTON, BUCKINGHADISHIRE.—Yesterday the Messrs. Szlith sold by auction, at the Auction Mart, the valuable freohold estate of Addington, Buckinghamshire, which was ii*Pe of tithes and land-tax, and included the whole parish,. with the mansion, the advowson, several grazing and dairy farms, and the manor for game, the property being formerly the family seat of the late General the Hon. Vere Poulett. It is situated about five miles from Buck ingham, and comprises about 1,143 acres, realising from the rents an income of about 2,6001. per annum. The estate was offered in one lot, when, on being bought in. containing mansi°n about 884 ages, the grounds, at 75,5601., it was put up in three lots.

MILDNESS OF THE WEATHER. —There is a secon course of blossom on many wall-fruit trees, strawberries, and other small fruit bushes in this neighbourhood. Some of the winter flowering shrubs are also in flower of which the lauristiuus is particularly rich.—Perthshi Courier ~.+. f.~, d:,, ~~ L r
