(From the London Gazette of this Evening.) ADMIRALTY, SEPT. 7, 1846. Dispatches have been received at this office from Rear-Admiral Inglefield, in the River Plate, addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, of which the follow ing are copies or extracts : IT. M. Ship Vernon, off Monte Video, June §. Sir,—lt affords me the utmost satisfaction to have it in my power to acquaint you, for the informa tion of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that by the arrival of her Majesty's steam-vessel Alecto from the Parana yesterday evening, I learned that the convoy, consisting of one hun dred and ten vessels of all sizes, had passed the batteries erected at St. Lorenn, by General Rosas, to obstruct their passage down that river, and had ar rived in safety at Obligado, with the exception of the British barque Caledonia, and two Monte Videan ves sels, which, having grounded opposite the batteries, were obliged to be burnt by our people to prevent their , falling into the hands of the Buenos Ayreans. Captain Hotham's anxiety to communicate this in formation to me, appears to have prevented him from sending me by this opportunity an official report of this operation, which cannot fail to reflect great credit upon all who took part in it ; as soon, however, as I receive his report, I will forward it for their Lordships' in formation. In the meantime I should mention, that the English and French steam-vessels were upwards of three and a half hours engaged with the batteries of St. Lorenzo, and although scarcely a vessel of the convoy escaped being hit, yet most providentially not a single casualty occurred on this occasion on board any of the vessels. I am sorry, however, to add, that the satisfaction ex pressed in the foregoing part of my letter is not un mixed with great regret for the loss of life on board the Lizard on her passage up the river, of the parti culars of which their Lordships will be informed by the accompanying copy of a letter from Captain Hothain, inclosing reports from her Majesty's steam-vessels Alecto, Harpy, and Lizard, of their passages from Monte Video to the Bajada of Santa Fe, the Commanders of which vessels appear to have acted, while passing the batteries, with great judgment and gallan try.—l have, &c. (Sign ed ) S. H. INGLEFIELD, Rear-Admiral and Commander•in-Chief. H. M. ship Gorgon, San Lorenzo, May 30,1846. Sir,—l have the honour to transmit official reports from Commander Austen, of her Majesty's steam sloop Alecto ; Lieut. Tylden, of her Majesty's sloop Lizard ; and Lieutenant Proctor, of her Majesty's sloop Harpy, accompanied by a list of damages of their respective vessels. It is my duty to bring the good conduct of these several officers in their engagements with the bat teries of San Lorenzo to your notice. The Alecto was especially placed at a great disadvan tage, her progress was retarded by towing three heavily laden vessels against a current of three knots, and a head wind; she was exposed to the fire of seven or eight guns during an hour and a half, and unable from the height of the cliff to make much impression in return. The two little iron vessels, Lizard and Harpy, were enabled, from their light draught of water, to run close under the cliffs, and thus escaped many of the shots in tended for them ; the state of their hulls, and the list of killed and woun ded, p rove that, notwithstanding the precaution of their commanders, they suffered much ; and those officers deserve credit for the able way in which their vessels were handled.—l have, &c. (Signed) CHARLES HOTHAM, Captain. H. M. Steam Sloop Alecto, River Parana, 9th April, 1846. Sir,—ln obedience to your orders, I have the honour to report to you, for the information of the Com mander-in•Chief, that on the afternoon of Mon day, the 6th inst., whilst passing up the river in her Majesty's steam sloop under my command, with three schooners in tow, I observed the enemy assembled in force in the battery lately erected in the heights of San Lorenzo. At twenty minutes past two I commenced firing shell and rockets, with a view to disperse them. At half-past two the enemy opened a fire with round and grape from a masked eighteen-pounder, placed on the edge of the cliff, which was immediately followed by the rest of the enemy's guns, seven in number, all of them apparently long eighteen-pounders. The fire of the enemy was quickly returned from her Majesty's sloop under my command with shot and shell. In consequence of the current, and strong headwind blowing, our progress past the batteries was very slow, enabling the enemy to keep up a smart, and, at first, a well-directed fire with grape and round shot, for an hour and ten minutes, within musket range. Her Majesty's steam sloop was struck by eight round shot in her hull, besides by numerous grape, but I am happy to say, that, on this occasion, we had not a man hurt. • The schooners in tow were likewise fired into by the enemies, and were hulled in several places. lam unable to state what damages the enemy sustained from our fire. I have the honour to inform you that, in passing Tonelero, where, on the 10th February last, a e were engaged in her Majesty's steam-sloop Alecto with the enemy's batteries, and had five men wounded, I ob served a large party at work, erecting embrasures along the edge of the cliff. I was enabled to make out ten altogether, three of which are finished. From having suffered by the enemy's fire at the same place on a previous occasion, and having reason to believe that guns were mounted on the three finished embrazures, I opened fire upon them with shells and rockets, but finding they did not return, after a few rounds I ceased firing. I inclose a list of damages received by her Majesty's sloop Alecto, from the enemy.—l have, &c. (Signed) F. W. AUSTEN, Commander. Captain Charles Hotham, H, M. steam-ship Gordon, Senior Officer. H. M. Steam-vessel Harpy, off San Lorenzo, Parana, 11th May, 1846. Sir,—ln pursuance of orders from the Commander in -Chief, I beg leave to acquaint you, that I arrived here in her Majesty's steam-vessel Harpy, under my command, after experiencing, this morning, a galling fire from the forts of San Lorenzo, both - of musketry, field pieces, and other guns, within a distance of about sixty yards. The fire was kept up with great determination for more than an hour, and we were followed up by field Fieces, together with a large body of concealed troops, who lined the banks, firing musketry as we passed. About ten minutes before we passed out of gun shot, I was hit by a round shot on the fleshy part of the right arm, but am going on favourably, although inca pacitated from doing duty. I am happy to state no other easualty occurred on board. The Harpy is greatly cut up about the rigging, and has many musket balls and grape in her hull, funnel, topsides, and boats. I beg you will bring to the favourable notice of the Commander-in-chief, Mr. Bruce, mate, who took charge of the ship when I was wounded, and also Mr. Ward, second master, for his cool and steady conduct in attend ing to the steering of the Harpy ; as also the other officers and men under my command, for the able as sistance they rendered in their respective duties; the pilot behaved with great credit, and has proved himself so far an excellent pilot. I am now repairing damages with all possible despatch, and shall be ready for sea very shortly.—l have, &c. (Signed) E. H. B: HROCTOR, Lieut. Commanding. Captain Charles Hotham, H. M. Frigate Gorgon, Senior Officer. Parana. H. M.'s Steam-vessel Lizard, above Fort Lorenzo, River Parana, Five P.M., April 21. Sir,—l have the honour to state, for the information of the Commander-in-Chief, that this morning, at the distance of six miles from Lorenzo, I observed large batteries had been erected on a commanding point, and" that the adjacent coast was lined with artillery and field pieces. At half-past eleven A.M. the southern batteries opened a heavy fire, , and on ap proaching nearer, the other batteries and artillery commenced a quick and well-directed fire also, which was returned by the Lizard by rockets and the forecastle gun, until the rocket stand was shot away, and the gun could no longer be elevated suffi ciently to bear on the enemy; at the same time the heavy shot, grape, and musketry riddling the vessel from stem to stern, I ordered the officers and men to go be low, but the step, I regret to say, had not the desired effect, two officers being killed in the gun-room. The Lizard received seven shot between wind and wa ter, besides nine cannon, fourteen grape, and forty-one musket balls in the hull and bulwarks, and seven cannon and grape in the funnel and steam pipe. The boats, main mast, and rigging, fore and aft, are shot through and through by cannon. I hoisted three ensigns before we entered the fire, and rejoice to state came out with two flying, only having one at the main shot away. The firing commenced at half-past eleven A.M., and continued with rapidity until twenty-five minutes past one P.m., the wind and current strong against ui, and great quantity of water in the hold, delayed us much in passing. I beg to say the officers and crew evireed great coolness, particularly John Trillia, the pilot, who conned the vessel with great judgment through the whole of the action. A list of the killed and wounded are named in the margin. KILLED: Mr. Barnes, clerk in charge. Mr. Webb, master's assistant. William Fox, A.B. Charles Williams, A.B. SLIGHTLY WOUNDED.

(From the London New Price Current of September 8.) SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Sugar insisted upon former rates for all descriptions, and there was a gsod desire evinced to operate, but the private sales were 5000 hhds and tierces, and the offers made at lower prices were rejected. REFINED —To-day Refined goods were in much better demand for home consumption. but the refiners were com pelled to accept 62s to 62s 6d for standard lumps, and 61s to 61s 6d for brown grocery lumps. In the value of Bonded Crushed Sugar there is no variation to notice, but there was little business transacted. At public sale 30 boxes of Refined Sugar imported from Calcutta sold at 61s for Loaves of fair colour and quality equal to standard lumps, and damp at 60a 6d per cwt., and were considered Cheaper. MAuarrtus.—This afternoon at public sale 1,224 bags were offered ; the good and fine yellow sorts went at full rates, but inferior and brown sold upon rather lower terms— fine yellow fetched 525, good 50s, middling 45s to 465, fine brown 41s to 425, good 395, middling 37s 6d, low dark 34s to 355, washed 34s to 51s 6d, and syrupy 36s to 42s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there were six public sales of Bengal sugar, consisting of 5,960 bags; the white and better qualities of yellow sold at the former value, but the brown and lower sorts went a little cheaper. FOREIGN.—Of Java a large quantity having been brought to market and the demand not having been active, a fall in the value of is per dvt has taken place. At public sale 694 bskts and 2582 bags, duty paid, have been offered; white was nearly all withdrawn, in consequence of the duty not being finally arranged between the merchants and Custons. CoFFEE.—This afternoon 647 casks, and 277 bags Cuba Coffee were offered at public sale, but nearly all taken in above the value. Jamaica met with more attention and 82 casks 22 barrels and 26 bags lit auction all sold at full rates. Mocha is little wanted, and 189 bls at aue4ion only in part sold at about the former value. For Ceylon the market has a dull appearance, and 464 bags at public sale only in part sold at about the former value. TEA.—The market has a dull appearance for both green and black; none has been offered at public sale since this day week, and privately little business has been transacted, although there are sellers upon rather lower terms. Snex.s.—To-day Pimento met with attention, and 222 bags at public sale sold at full rates. 71 barrels Jamaica Ginger went at 41s to 48s for low and mid, and 51s for good mid ; 26 packages cultivated Bengal at 22s 6d to 23s for com mon, and at 21s 6d to 24s tid for sea damaged. 12 cases Mace fetched the full worth ; 4 bags of Nutmegs brought firm rates; 4 cases 1 bag Cloves fatched 2s to 2s 3d for Ben coolen, and is 2d for broken; 54 bags Sierra Leone Pod Pep per taken in at 955.

Leeward ',lands is littlo wanted, but at present holders are enabled to obtain 2s 3d to 2s 6d proof strength, owing to small supply. Calcutta has bean in moderate demand at is Ild to 2s proof with certificate, but there is a larger quantity on offer. The market for Demerara is quiet, at present how ever prices remain at 3s 2d to 3s 5d for strong qualities. Brandy has been largely dealt in, chicfly by the home trade, old sorts fully sustained the former value, whilst young Brandies brought higher rather higher prices. Geneva is wanted for export, common at 2s 3d to 2s 4d, and fine by the home trade at 2s 8d to 3s. British Corn Spirits have been in good demand ; ;English at lOs 4d nett cash, arid Scotch and Irish 103 3d to lOs 4d per gallon. English Gin. 22 per cent. under proof, 8s 10d, and 17 under 9s. 4d.

(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) :GEORGE WETENHALL'S BANKRUPTCY. The bankrupt in this case is described as a stuck and share-dealer,„and the sitting to-day was for the choice of assignees and proof of debts. The estate, is not a large one, and few creditors were in attendance. An application was made to the Court, under these circumstances, on behalf of a Mr. Hunter, who had had, it appeared, some transactions with the bankrupt. Mr. Hunter, attracted by an advertisement in the papers, sought an advance upon shares. An amount of 1201. was borrowed, ind permission was subsequently given the bankrupt to dispose of a number of them, but not the whole. Repeated applications had since been made `o the bankrupt to deliver them up, and after promising had not kept his word. Having now failed, it was ound, on inquiry at the official assignee's, that no such hares had been returned among the assets or effects of the bankrupt. The applicant, therefore, desired that the Court would allow him to ask Mr. Wetenhall what had become of the shares. The bankrupt plainly answered that they were sold, and declared that he received full authority from Mr. Hunter by the terms of the contract entered into. He could not now produce the authority, or state the actual date of sale, because his books were not yet made up. He should, however, on the next occasion, be ready to show the contract. and give the full particulars of the transaction. He did not expect to have been called upon to do so to-day, or t Ise he could have given a satisfactory explanation. The authority was among his papers in the custody of the official assignee. The applicant asked the official assignee if that were 80 ? The official assignee said the contract might be among the bankrupt's papers. There were a great many of them. Mr. Hunter denied that he gave the bankrupt autho rity to sell. Mr. Commissiotth. HOLROYD said the bankrupt evi dently was not ready with his accounts, and he wished to defer the matter till his books were before the Court. A person of the name of Bacon said—ln April last he went to the bankrupt for the purpose of selling some Portuguese stock, and the price being about 58, and he having purchased at 67k, in order to avoid the sacrifice, it was agreed that he should receive an advan ce o f 1501 : upon it. In July last he went again to the bankrupt, pressing him to dispose of the stock, but he said, "You re a d—d fool—don't sell—they are sure to go higher—l'll make you a further advance." Having other Portuguese stock, he deposited another 3001. bond for 100/. advance, but though he had since applied to the bankrupt to know what had become of it he could get no satisfactory infor mation. What he was told war, that he might apply "here (naming the court) and be d—d." Mr. Bacon thought it right, under the circumstances, to state his case plainly to the Court, to ascertain the best course to Le pursued. He understood there was no account of this transaction in the books at the official assignee's, nor did his name appear in them at all. He had asked the bank rupt to sell the bonds at any price they might fetch, and repay himself the advance, and hand him (Mr. Bacon) over the difference. Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD said the bankrupt would have to account for it in his affairs. The better course would be fur Mr. Bacon to consult the official assignee on the subject, and then, if he could get no satisfactory information, to apply again to the Court. The bank rupt had already stated that the incompleteness of his books prevented him from explaining these matters at the moment. II••••• Mr. MICHAEL, for another party, said his client was told shares were sold, but they were not able to get the particulars of sale and prices. They did not wish, however, to impugn the correctness of the transaction. Mr. Commissioner HoLROYD said the official assignee would afford every facility for the investigation of these accounts. The first applicant now said he understood that only a few days ago the bankrupt had sold a large number of shares to Mr. Gompertz These might include the very securities after which he was inquiring. Would hi s Honeur permit him to ask the bankrupt the question ? Leave . being given, The bankrupt said he had sold shares to Gompertz, but what they were he did not precisely recollect, neither did he think that the applicant had a right to put the question. He was perfectly free to sell shares to any one if he could find a customer. _ _ ----- The applicant then stigmatised the conduct of the bankrupt as fraudulent. This the bankrupt indignantly denied. Because he would not sacrifice the money ad vanced by his clients, his dealings were alleged to be fradulent. In one ca,e— that alluded to by Mr. Michael — a loss of 1,200/. had fallen upon the party who had ad vanced the money, and of course he was cautious in taking full authority subsequently to sell, with the view ,of protecting the interests of his friends. " Hard words" having been exchanged between the parties, Mr. Commissioner llor.novn interfered. He said he had given the applicant some license, and before he fur ther proceeded lie ought to put himself in the situation of a creditor. Inquiries at the official assignee's would bring information. The bankrupt must, at the same time, understand that it was his duty to give every kind of detail respecting the state of his affairs. The bank s rupt said Mr. Hunter now wanted his shares, because, having been for some time at a discount, they had recently gone up to a premium.' But it was not likely, when their appearance was low in the market, that he would lee his Aleut's money wholly sacrificed. If, in the parlance of the Stock Exchange and the tJall of Commerce, he had been allowed to " make up" his account, he could have showed his creditors assets in full. Mr. JOnDESON (I . ol' a creditor)—lf I understand rightly, your Honour, there is not a penny is the pound. Other creditors alsO said they never expected to get a dividend. A few proofs were then admitted, and Mr. J. Brown, of Wapping, coal merchant, was chosen assignee. DEATH FROM ALLEGED STARVATION. An inquest was held at the Thurlow Arms, Brighton, yesterday morning, on the body of James Allen, a labourer, who died on the previous Thursday. He had lately undergone an imprisonment of eight months' duration with hard labour, and occasional solitary con finement, in the Lewes House of Correction, and the inquest was held in consequence of his relatives alleging that he died in consequence of bad treatment in the prison. The first witness examined was Robert Allen, his father, a labourer, at 33, John -street, Brighton. lie stated that his son was 22 years of age, and up to the time of his going to prison, had never had a day's ill ness in his life. He saw him in prison at the end of six months, when he appeared very ill, and said he was very weak. He came out of prison six weeks ago last Saturday very ill. He was attended by Mr. Verrall, but he died on Thursday evening. CORONER—Did he ever speak to you of his treatment in the prison? Witness—Yes, frequently. He told me that he was in a very weak state, and that the food was not enough for him ; -that he several times told the doctor how ill he was, bat that he was still obliged to go to his work ; that one day he was too ill to go to the treadwheel, and that he was then put into the woodhouse to chop wood, when the flesh peeled off his hands, so that he was unable to continue at the work ; that he then mentioned it to one of the officers of the prison, who threatened to put him in confinement, and that he had requested both clergyman and doctor to keep him from hard la bour, but that he was told he must work. CORONER—Did the deceased think that he was very ill when he made this statement to you ? Witness—He told me that he never expected to get over the illness ; he said so nearly every day from the time he came home up to the time of his death. Is yours a consumptive family.?,--No. Are they subject to any other particular , complaint ? —No. He said that in the prison there was nothing but medicine and go to work ; he told me that the food was a skilly, and like cow's udder chopped up fine ; that he took what was given to him, but that he could have taken more, if he had it. Martha Elizabeth Stimpson, wife of a blacksmith, at 13, Ivory-place, Brighton, deposed that she was sister of the deceased. She fully corroborated the evidence of the last witness, described his complaint on leaving the gaol, which appeared to be diarrhoea, and added that his wife was confined just before he died. The deceased had further told her that while in solitary confinement his bed was taken from him from four o'clock in the morning till six at night ; that when he could not sit on the aide of the bed any longer he was obliged to lie on the cold stones of the floor of the cell ; that he thought he should have died ; that he asked the doctor for some. thing for the weakness in his inside, and that he gave him a box of pills which did him no good ; and that when he went to the chapel he was so hungry that he could not listen to what the chaplain said, and that he would have been glad to have had the water in which his sister's puddings were boiled at Christmas. When he told her these things he considered himself a dying man. Mr. William Verrall, surgeon, depos, d that after he came out of prison the deceased complained to him of th:? bowel complaint and a bad cough. Witnesi (who is parish surgeon) examined him minutely, and found such to be the case, and was satisfied there was no chance of his recovery. The disease of the chest had existed for some time--the diarrhoea for some days before he left the prison. Witness treated him up to the time of his death. The diarrhcea, was much decreased by the medicines which witness gave him; hut it returned, and had not left him when he died. Insufficient diet, in the case of a man with diseased lungs, would be likely to cause diarrhoea. A man with diseased lungs was not a fit sub• ject for either hard labour or solitary confinement. Paucity of food would tend to aggravate the disease. Disease of the lungs and diarrhoea require a generous and nourishing diet. Witness had that morning, in conjunclion with Mr. John Lawrence, jun., made a post mortem examination, the result of which was merely a confirmation of the opinion which he had previously formed. Mr. John Sanders, governor of the Lewes House of Correction, deposed that the deceased came into his cus tody on the 27th of November, 1845, on a sentence of eight months' hard labour, except the first week of each month and the last week of the sentence, which were to be in solitary confinement. He was thin in flesh; he appeared to be in good health, but was not robust. Pri soners on entering the goal underwent a medical exa mination. They were afterwards seen twice a week by the surgeon; and a prisoner who was not well could call the surgeon at any time, and he was then attended to specially. Witness saw deceased at least once, and fre quently several times a day. Ho never complained to witness of insufficiency of food or inability to work. If he had complained, his case would have been attended to. The hard labour diet was 141 b. of wheaten bread made from seconds flour, a pint of gruel made from of oatmeal and flour mixed in equal quantities in the morning; a pint of soup for dinner made from 3 oz. of meat without bone to each pint, an ounce of mixed meal to each pint, with about 2oz. of boiled potatoes, and a quan tity of onions and shrubs to flavour. In the evening a pint of gruel, the same as in the morning. If the pri soner remained under sentence for a longer period than three months he had 2lbs. of potatoes per day extra. The diet in solitary confinement was 114 b. of bread a day, and the pint of gruel morning and evening as be fore, but no animal food, except when the prisoner was under medical treatment. The prisoners were never put to chop wood as a milder punishment than the wheel, but in chopping wood, pumping water, and cleaning the prison all the prisoners took turns. Mr. Turner and the Rev. Mr. Burnett, surgeon and chaplain of the House of Correction, deposed that the prisoner never complained to them of inability to work or insufficiency of food. The Rev. Gentleman also stated that the prisoner had voluntarily attended ,the school which he had established in the gaol, after the hours of labour, and had learned to read, and acquired consider able intelligence. In summing up, The CORONER said, that from the evidence of Mr. Verrall it was clear that the prisoner was labouring under disease, which rendered him unfit for solitary eon fineMent, or to be placed upon,the wheel. The question was, was there any negligence on the part of the officers of the prison? According to their testimony, the pri soner had not complained either of inability to work or insufficiency of food; and then arose this further ques tion—was his illness so apparent as to induce a convic tion on their part that he was so unlit? He would add, from his own personal knowledge of the mode in which the gaol was conducted, greater humanity could not be shown to persons in the unfortunate situation of de ceased than was uniformly exhibited at Lewes. The jury, after deliberating some time, returned a verdict, " That the rigour of the sentence being fully carried into effect, and the insufficiency of the food, de stroyed the constitution of deceased, in consequence of which he died." THE RAILWAY PIONEER. The claims of Thomas Gray, the far-seeing projector of that magnificent system which is now bringing into close communication the most remote parts of the king dom, are daily gaining on public attention. In the Railway Record of last Saturday appears the first of a series of articles entitled "memorial of Thomas Gray, the pioneer of the railway system," and intended to set forth the special and peculiar claims which Mr. Gray has on the railway world. We give the following extract:--" In the short space of nineteen years—dating from the first-fruits of the new system in the incorpora• tion of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company —we have upwards of eighty railways either completed or in progress in this country, involving a capital exceed ing eighty millions sterling. We have seen, in the Par liamentary session of 1845, an array of schemes with a capital amounting to ninety-six millions. We have had in the session which has just closed a capital involved in the railway department of legislation at present beyond the reach of accurate estimate—vast manifestations of the enterprise of the age. Grand though the result— equalling the wealth-creating powers of the genii and enchanters of Eastern romance—not less strange and true is the fact that the name of him who designed it is unknown to the world, That man was Thomas Gray, whose claims as the great Pioneer of the Railway System it is the aim of these memorials to set forth, as a humble call on the gratitude of his fellow-countrymen." The remainder of the paper is occupied with a brief sketch of the rude state of the rail or tram-way at the time Mr. Gray directed his enlightened and ingenious mind to the subject. In their next number they propose to narrate the first labours of Mr. Gray. From the same paper we also extract the following very gratifying paragraph We are glad to learn that the gentleman whose letters strongly advocating the claims of Thomas Gray, recently appeared in our columns, has after much labour, established the nucleus of a plan having for its object to secure some testimony of public gratitude to cheer the declining days of that ill-requited individual. The plan will, in a few days, be submitted to the various Railway Boards in the king dom; and we hope, and confidently believe, that it will not be so submitted in vain." TEE NATIONAL GALLERY AS IT OUGHT TO BE.--=- For many years I have been struck with the fine vista obtained by lookin 4 from the rooms of the national col lectinh across the central space, when the Roya l Academ y Exhibition has lx:en open ; the effect of the troupes of persons, the rich colouring of the pictures, as seen through only four columns,.suogested to my mind how very fine that effect might be made by throwing the whole of the roo ms i n to one unbroken series. The ad vantage of removing the partitions of the small rooms is at once seen by a reference to the spot, and if it should be thought advisable to have some of the rooms larger than any at present (which is a doubtful experiment), that object can be obtained by taking away some of the party walls. The accommodation for the annual ex hibition may be thus reckoned :—tti o picture rooms, each about 55 feet by 44 feet ; four rooms about 48 feet by 35 feet ; and two rooms 48 feet by 30 feet ; besides the two small octagonal rooms, and the central hall 100 feet long and 48 feet wide ; affording a more ample space than hitherto allotted for the display of the three sister arts, one of which, architecture, has been always confined within scanty limits.— The Builder. Dispatches were received yesterday at the C o l on i a l office from the Governor of Gibrultan V EVENING, SEIPTEATEER 6, Me. THE LATE M. HAREL, The vicissitudes of a player's life were proverbial, even before Gold. mith's chaiming narrative of the ' strolling comedian, with which, we presume, no Eng lish reader is nnacquainted. Far more interesting, how ev• r, would he the details of the hopes and struggles of the eventful lire, jrnt caee f, of the highly-gifted, but untortunete, pettier - nen named above. We hope some pen worthy of the task may, before long, give his me moirs to the world; but, in the meantime, the reader will not be displeased to read the following biographical sketch of the deceased, which we borrow from a con— temporary, and which, from his long connexion with the drama, is not inappropriately placed here:—" M. Harel, who died about a fertnight ago, was born in Normandy, in 1790. He was of a - good family , and was, when very young, made Sub Prefect of Soissons. On the return of Napoleon fvom Elba, M. Hard, who was then only twenty-three years of age, was made Prefect of the department of the Landes, but on the Restoration he was exiled, and was not permitted to return to France until the year 1821. M. Harel wrote successively for the ?Vain Janne, the Mineeve, the Cour rier Francais, and the Constitutionnel up to 1827, when he contracted a heivon with Mlle. Georges, and took an interest in theatrical affair's. In 1828 he obtained the privilege for the Odd m Theatre, and in 1832 purchased the Porte St. Martin Theatre of M. Crosuier. , In this speculation, notwithstanding occasional successes, he was a great loser; and at length, all his pecuniary re sources being exhausted, he was overwhelmed with debt, and judgment was obtained against him by 150 creditors. In order to preseve his personal liberty, without which he could not carry on the business of his theatre. he took care never to go out until after sunset, but the remedy was ineffectual, for the recors (Anglice, Sheriff's officers), accompanied by the com missary of police, frequently found their way into the theatre during the rehearsals. The danger having become imminent, M. Hare! had a trap made, near the prompter's place, and it was so contrived, that by press sing a spring with his foot, it would lower, and carry him with it into the regions below. As soon, therefore, as one of the myrmidons of the law made his appear , ance, M. Hare! pressed the spring, and disappeared. In vain would he have been searched for in the place to which he descended: But, in order to prevent any officer from venturing upon the stage in pursuit of him, he got a paragraph inserted in the newspapers, stating that there were traps all over the stage, unknown except to the performers, and that an unfortunate recors, whilst pursuing M. Hare!, had fallen through one of them, and had broken his leg. This was quite sufficient to pre vent any attempt being made in that way. In order that M. Hard might be apprised when any new judg ment had been obtained against him, nearly half the clerks of the huissiers were in his interest, for he gave them free admissions to his theatre. His per sonal liberty being secured, it was next necessary to prevent a seizure being made at the theatre, for this would have prevented his bringing out his pieces, and he was constantly going on, in hopes of a succes. lie had an ingenious mechanism made, by which all the dresses, properties, &c., could in an instant be re moved from one flight to another. Thus, when an officer came to effect a seizure, he was shown into an empty space. On his leaving that to . proceed to another part, everything contained in it was whisked off to the place that he had quitted, and so on, until the . officer, finding nothing worth seizing, went away The receipts of the theatre being almost nominal, M. Hard was about to strike his flag, when he heard of the arrival of Van Amburg and his lions at Havre. M. Hard engaged him, and for a time there was at the Porte St. Martin what the French call a succes fon. But as the novelty wore off the receipts di- minished, and some new gay—to use a theatrical term — was to be tried. It was announced in one of the journals that a superb lion had been landed at Havre, of such a ferocious nature, that even Van Amburg would not dare to undertake the taming of him. Two days afterwards the same journal stated that Van •Amhurg's pride had been roused, and that he had set off for Havre to under take the task. A third article announced that he had succeeded, and would appear the following evening, at the Porte St. Martin, with the new lion. The theatre was crowded to the ceiling. A fine black lion appeared, and obeyed all the orders of his master. The shouts of the audience were tremendous. The lion was only one of his former menagerie, which had been dyed black for the purpose. The trick was never found out, and M. Hare! had a few more good houses on its strength. It is related of M. Harel, that ong day, when completely destitute of funds, he went to the Minister of the Inte rior, to implore M. Thiers to advance him 10,000 f. M. Thiers sent out word that he was too busy to receive him. M. Harel, who was in the cabinet of the Secre tary, wrote—" lam a desperate man—l have a brace of pistols with me, and if you refuse to receive me, I will blow out my brains here." M. Thiers was alarmed, re ceived the applicant, and gave him the 10,000 f. At length all the expedients of this extraordinary man were exhausted. He was compelled to give up the theatre, and went On a strolling expecition into the country with Mlle. Georges, and a wretched company of tragedians. lie had, iudeed, previously shown a' desire to live a more tranquil life, and had written an 'Eulogy on Voltaire,' for which he obtained the chief prize at the French Academy, and some theatrical pieces, which were rather successful. His strolling expedition was a miserable failure; he returned broken in health and stricken in spirit, and the curtain finally fell upon his 'strange eventful history' in an asylum for the insane, when he died at Chatillen, near Paris, in his fifty-sixth year. Many witty things and clever savings are attri buted to M. Harel, and there are many, the credit of which has been taken by other men, but which were really his —as, for instance, the remark so long attri buted to Talley-rand, that La parole a de' donne a l'homme pour diguiser sa pensee." DEER STALKING AND GROUSE SHOJTING. The gay and festive scene of the Northern Meeting hist week brought together.agreater. number of aports men than was ever seen at once in Inverness. Although for a time the moors gave place to the bail-room, still the deeds on the mountains were not forgotten. The subjoined notes of sports have been received since our last notice :—On the Eskadale moors, Mr. Hutton shot on the 24th, 30 brace of grouse, on the 25th, 37i brace, and on the 26th, 224 brace. At Invercassley, Ross shire, Mr. Robertson and the Messrs. Christie have bagged 700 head. During. a few days tour in the island of Lews, Major Houston and Mr. Denys bagged 210 brace of grouse. Iri the Curries of Dundreggan, Sir H. Meux, Bart., stalked and shot 2 stags. At Lochlaggan, the Marquis of Abercurn captured 3 stags. From the forest of Fasnakyle, Lord Bateman took 2 deer, killing them right and left, at once. In the forest of Glen- Strathfarar, Lord Lovat, the Master of Lovat, the Hon. A. Fraser, and Captain Mostyn, have had excellent sport among the red deer-12 large stages, one of them with 14 antlers, were stalked ; and on the moor, in one day, Captain Mostyn bagged 54 brace of grouse ; the fol. lowing day, 43 brace and 2 hares. The sport at Invere shie has been first-rate. W. Evans, Esq., M.P., and friends, have bagged nearly 800 brace of grouse, and have stalked 13 stags on their deer ground. On the Diebdale moors, Mr. Forde shot on the 12th, 42 braes of grouse, 3 plovers, 1 hare ; on the 17th, 37 brace, and on the 19th 35 brace of grouse. At Strathvaich, Sir St. George Gore, Bart., continues to get excellent shooting. On the 22d, he shot 64 brace of grouse and 13 hares ; on the 24th, 90k brace, a snipe, and 6 hares ; on the 25th, a double shot of stags—killing both ; and on the 27th, 81i brace of grouse and,6 hares. At Belleville, Mr. Mackildowny and friend, on August the 12th, bagged 65k brace of grouse and 2 hares ; Mr. M.G.

I LORD ROSSE'S MONSTER TELESCOPE. —ln the course of the lecture on Lurd Rosse's Monster Teles cope, delivered a few days ago at Whitby by the Rev. Dr. Scoresby, of Bradford, the reverend gentleman described the appearance of the heavens, lie remarked that the nebulae a!ready observed were between one and two hundred, which was a great deal, considering how often observations were prevented by cloudy nights ; and that the telescope, although erected about eighteen months, had not yet been in complete operation more than three or four months, already several of the nebulae hitherto not fully examined were discovered to be a col lection of suns ; and with regard to the moon, the Doctor stated its appearance to be magnificent. It appeared like a globe of molten silver, and every object of the extent of 100 yards was quite visible. Edifices, therefore, of the size of York Minster, or even of the ruins of Whitby Abbey, might be easily perceived if they had existed. But there was no appearance of any thing of that nature, neither was there any indication of the existence of water nor of an atmosphere. There was a vast number of extinct volcanoes, several miles in breadth; through one of them there was a line in continuance of one, about 150 miles in length, which ran in a straight direction like a railway. The general appearance, however, was like one vast ruin of nature ; and many of the pieces of rock, driven out of the volcanoes, appeared to be laid at various distances. The Doctor said he expected it would soon be competent to Daguerrotype the image of the moon upon the speculum, which could not be done at present, as the moon was not stationary, but the Earl contemplated a piece of mecha nism to move the telescope to a certain distance, with a motion corresponding to the movement of the moon. The Doctor enlivened the lecture with many interesting anecdotes of the Earl, all of which were calculated to raise him in the estimation of his countrymen, and con cluded with en exhortation to the upper classes to sup port institutions like the present, as calculated to promote good feeling and to benefit society. EXTRAORDINARY INTREPIDITY.—A correspondent in Se an iea gives us the particulars of a remarkably cou rageous action performed by a Mr. Thomas Shepherd, lately a chemist, in that town, who, returning to his lodgings, on la-t Tuesday evening, was surprised to find his family, and that of Mr. Rowe, in whose house he lodged, shut up 'in different rooms, from which they were afraid to emerge, in cons:quence of a dog belonging to Mr. Rowe having suddenly become rabid. Mr. Shep herd instantly determined to attempt the destruction of the furious animal, and having provided himself with a heavy hammer, arid guarded his hands, he scaled the garden wall, am', watching his opportunity, threw some bed furniture over the dog, and while entangled in it, grasped him by the throat with his left band, and in flicting sev , ral heavy blows on his head with the ham mer in his right, speedily dispatched the ferocious animal, to he great delight of the household Ond his neighLQUM—Sunday Papa NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Yesterdaymorning the Lords of the Admiralty, accompanied by Sir Charles Ogle Col. Jones, and a distinguished party of officers, left the George llotel, in carriages provided for them, and pro d to Cumberland-fort to inspect in field exercise, &c., the Royal Aldrine Artillery Corps, under the com mand of Lieut.-Colonel D. A. Gisbsone. Their Lordships first proceeded to the fort, and wit nessed practice from an 8-inch howitzer and a 12- pounder medium gun with common shell, at a floating target, range 1,350 yards; practice from a 24-pounder howitzer and two 12-pounder howitzers, with spherical case, at a floating target, range 900 yards; practice from four 6-pounder guns with round shot, at a floating target, range 900 yards. The whole of this was most perfect practice, the targets being riddled at every discharge, and highly creditable to the officers attached—Major Casticau, Captains Westley, Logan, and Holloway; and Second-Lieutenants Davies, Meade, and Baynes. After the above their Lordships witnessed practice from a 32-pounder sea service gun, mounted within the fort, with common shell at a floating target, range 1,500 yards, which also elicited their warmest approbation. Captain l)wyer was the officer attached. Their Lordships then proceeded to the usual place of exercise adjacent to the Coast-Guard station, and wit nessed practice from three ten-inch land service mortars, in rear of an epaulement, at the flag-staff ; range 560 yards. In nearly every case the shells pursued an astonishingly accurate direction, much to the gratiflca • tion of the gallant and distinguished officers assembled. Officers attached—Captain Westley and Second Lieute nant Meade. Practice from a 68-pounder, three 32-pounders, a 24- pounder Congreve, and 32-pounder carronade, with round shot, at a target ranged at 450 yards, concluded the inspection . Officers attached—Major Castieu, Cap tains Parke, Logan, and Holloway, and Second Lieute nants Davies and Baynes. This was undoubtedly as per fect shot practice as could be at the present day wit nessed. The target was blown away at every discharge. with one or two exceptions. The whole must have been highly gratifying to the assembled spectators, and was we know especially so to the Earl of Auckland, wbo, as did his hon. and gallant colleagues, expres-ed the warmest satisfaction at the highly efficient state th.s important and invaluable arm of the naval service has attained, and complimented Col. Gibsone thereon prior to leaving the ground, which was about half-past twelve. On leaving, Sir Charles Ogle inspected the coast guard force under the command of Lieutenant Robert Taylor, of the Langston-harbour station. At 1 P.M. they embarked at Sallyport, with the Port-Admiral and Rear-Admiral Parker, in the Lightning, and proceeded to Calshot Castle, with the Dasher, surveying steamer, Commander W. Sheringham, to select a spot for a steamers' coal depot. The two Admirals here took a final leave of their Lordships, going from the Lightning to the Dasher. Their Lordships left Calshot in the 'Ligtning at 3 P.m. for Southampton, the Dasher return ing with the Admirals into the Harbour. The Lightning, after landing the Lords of the Admi ralty, returned to the harbour in the evening. The Scourge, steam bomb-vessel, Commander J. C. Caffin, arrived yesterday from Woolwich, and came into the harbour. The Orestes, 18, Commander E. St. Leger Cannon, completed stripping last evening, and will be paid off on Tuesday or Wednesday. The Nautilus, 8, Lieutenant-Commanding J. Mac donell, sailed on Friday evening to resume her station off Brighton for the protection of the fishery. The Manoauvrer lighter arrived with stores from Ply mouth ye.terday. Captain Alexander Milne, son of the late Admiral Sir David Milne, late Commander-in-Chief at Devenport, is appointed to succeed Captain Sir Richard Grant, as flag captain to Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., the Com mender •in-Chief at this port. A system of punishment similar to that pursued in military prisons in the cases of bad soldiers is under consideration by the First Lord of the Admiralty for adoption in the cases of refractory seamen, to supersede in a great measure flogging in the navy. The sugges tion emanated from a gallant and humane Admiral, and we trust will be carried out, to his lasting honour. The Avenger, steam-frigate, Captain Williams, was at Malta in quarantine, on the 28th of August. A private letter dated the 26th states, " We left Alexandria on the 20th. During our stay there the officers and ship's company were supplied with every luxury by the orders of Ibrahim, who, prior to our departure, presented the following officers of the Avenger with a valuable Turkish sabre:—Captain Williams (and also a splendid shawl); Lieutecants Crawley, Sibbald, Rowles, Hawkins, and Tate (R.M.A.); Mr. Tucker, master; Mr. Mackay, surgeon ; Mr. Brickwood, paymaster and purser ; Mr. Speed, naval instructor ; Mr. Robinson, assistant-sur geon ; Mr. Moore and Mr. Yound, midshipmen ; Mr. Cleveland, master's-assistant ; Mr. A. W. Chimmo, clerk; Mr. Rowe, clerk; Mr. Phillips, naval cadet; and Mr. Brooker, clerk's-assistant. His Highness also pre sented the ship's company with 5001., besides an immense quantity of sugar, rice, coffee, and other articles of consumption. His Highness invited all the officers of the ship to a sumptuous banquet given at his palace, placing at their disposal carriages and horses and attendants. Altogether, no prince or potentate could have been more splendidly filed than we have been. His Highness appeared to feel that he could not seem too grateful for the attention shown him in England. We expect to sail about the 20th of September, and to arrive at Portsmouth about the latter end of that month; when there the defective state of our boilers, &c., will detain us two 'months at least before we can proceed on any further service." By an extract from a private letter we have learned that her Majesty's ship Inflexible arrived at Madeira in six days and 19 hours. The distance by the patent log, is 1,240 miles. This extraordinary run was accom plished, notwithstanding delays occasioned by being compelled to stop more than once to arrange the bear ings and expansion valves, during which'time they were compelled to disConftect, and were forced to rim - under sail for some hours. The gross quantity of fuel con sumed has been only 86 tons, which is rather more than 1 lcvvt. per hour. The Inflexible was worked on ,the 6th or last grade of the expansion nearly the whole way, and yet, with this small consumption of fuel, and the wind a head a great part of the way, she averaged 7 knots 7-10ths per hour. At the time this letter left the In flexible, she had just fallen in with the trade winds blowing fresh from E.N.E. It was expected she would sail direct for the Cape, and would arrive in 35 days. APPOINTMENT. Lieutenant Robert Willcox, to Recruit. THE MARQUIS OF WORCESTER AND HIS CONSTITUENTS AT STOW. The Marquis of Worcester dined with a party of his constituents at the Unicorn Inn, Stiw-on-the-Wold, .on Friday, Aug. 28. The festivity partook both of a sport ing and of a political character. It was formerly an an nual custom with the late Duke of Beaufort, when he hunted that part of the country, to send a present of ve nison as a compliment to the farmers over whose land he hunted ; but that custom has been discontinued for seve ral years until the present time, whep a renewal has been thought politic, having an eye to the possible contingen cies of a general election. Accordingly, in the early part of last week, the following note of invitation was sent to a very large number of the Tory residents within a range of eight or ten miles of Stow : "In consequence of his Grace the Duke of Beaufort having sent some venison to Stow, as a compliment to the yeomanry of this district, the Marquis of Worcester has expressed his wish to meet with his constituents and to dine with them, at the Unicorn Inn, on Friday next, at four o'clock in the afternoon, when the pleasure of your company is requested. " Stow-on-the-Weld, Aug. 24, 1846." . The gathering, however, was not by any means so nu merous as was expected, and as a political demonstration it was a signal failure. Thirty-eight gentlemen and farmers sat down to the dinner; the company including Lord Redesdale, who was in th chair, H. E. Waller, Esq., of Farmington, about six clergymen of the neigh bourhood, a few professional gentlemen, three or four tradesmen, and the remainder consisted of ! a sprinkling of farmers and some old sportsmen who formerly hunted with the dtike's hounds. It was a comfortable "venison dinner" enough, but the marquis's " wish to meet his constituents" was certainly a disappointment. The ho nour of a visit from the self-invited nobleman, even though the privilege of a cut at a haunch of venison was superadded, was not a sufficient attraction to draw the agriculturists from their useful occupations in their fields ; and if he is wise, the most noble the Marquis of Worcester will take this circumstance as a hint that the electors of East Gloucestershire are not so enraptured with their representative as to make his re-electon et all a matter to be very confidently calculated upon.—Glou ccster Journal. WILLS. THE LATE LORD RODNEY.—The Right Hon. and Rev. Spencer Baron Rodney, Clerk, M.A., Fellow of All Souls College, in the University of Oxford, has, by his will, bequeathed to the warden of All Souls a legacy of 1001, to be paid to the Benefactors' Fund; leaves to three of his nieces 1,0001. each; devises his real estates to his brother, the Hon. and Rev. Henry Rodney, M.A., Prebendary of Hereford Cathedral; also leaves to him the residue of his personal property, valued for probate duty at 9,0001. Ilis Lordship was in his 61st year, and was only presented, in 1844, by the College of All Souls, with the rectory of the Isle of Elmley, under their pa tronage. Robert Vaughan Richards, Esq., Q.C., late of White hall-place, and of the Inner Temple, died possessed of personal property to the amount of 60,0001. the residue of which, after the payment of certain legacies, and pro viding for annuities, he leaves to his daughter and only child, whom he has appointed his sole executrix, and de vises to her all his freeholds. He bequeaths his law books to his nephew, Edward Vaughan Richards, and to his nephew and godson, Robert Temple Frere, a le gacy of 5001., and a like legacy to his niece and god daughter, Catherine Richards. An annuity of 100/. to his clerk and to others ; also a liberal annuity to his coachman and to his coachman's father for their separate lives, and legacies to each of his servants. All bi quests free of legacy duty. This eminent barrister, though ap parently of a robust constitution, had been compelled, from ill-health, to retire from a must extensive practice. He executed his will in October last, and only lived to the age of 53, having been a widower the last twenty years. The late Mrs. Elizabeth Fry, wife of Joseph Fry, Esq., of Upton, Essex, enjoyed a life interest over certain trust property, under the respective wills of her sisters, Priscilla Gurney and Rachel Gurney, with a power of disposition over the same, by deed, will, or otherwise, and of which there was remaining unappropriated, and at her disposal, a sum of 11,000/.; this she has directed to be applied for the benefit of her family, in the following manner:— The interest of 6,0001. to her husband for life, and after wards the principal to be divided equally amongst her J children. To her daughter Katharine Fry, Wh o 114 always lived with her, but to whom no provision has ry hitherto been made, she leaves the interest of 4,0001. and 2,0001. on her marriage, and the remaining 1,000/. to her non Daniel Henry Fry. The bequests cre entirely con fined to the trusts under which she was empowered by the deeds of disposition. She executed her will in 184 0 , appointing her sons, John Gurney Fey and Joseph Fr Y 0 jun., Esqs., executors, to whom special letters of adaa' nistration with the will was granted, the husband COn• renting. She was in her 66th year. • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE• TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. Only in two instances will the odds given below be found to vary to any extent from those quoted at War. wick.
