Mr. Shadwell held his Court at the Royal Hotel Brentford, for the revision of the lists of Acton, Brent. ford, Ealing, Hanwell, Heston, Isleworth, Greenford Northolt, and Twickenham. Mr. James and Mr. Fitch attended on the part o! the Liberals, and Mr. Payne on the part of the Conser. vatives. Mr. Orlando Crease, claiming for a rent-charge made by the League, was objected to by the Conservatives. A declaration was produced by Mr. James to prove the qualification, in which Mr. Crease declared he had been in possession six mouths prior to the 31st of July last. Mr. Payne contended that as the declaration did not state that Mr. Crease had been in possession for six ca lendar months the name must be expunged. Mr. James then put in a deed of rent-charge to prove the qualification, which bore date the 27th day of Ja nuary, and also a receipt for the first year's rent. Mr. SHADWELL said he was satisfied that the qua lification had been proved, and therefore retained the name. Fifteen other claims followed the same decision. Mr. SUADWELL said he had not received any lists for the Perrevalo parish, but the clerk of the peace had handed him the following letters:— " Sir,l hereby acknoledge the recept of your precept, and we have nobody wishes to vote in our parish as befor.

ABINGDON, BERKS.—An investigation has been going on for the last week into one of the most extraordinary wholesale thefts that can have drawn the attention of the public at any time ; and the peculiar circumstances of the case altogether, in the number of persons impli cated and great extent of property stolen, as well as the long period in which the system has successfully operated, is the theme of wonder throughout the county. By an accidental circumstance occurring during the transit of some of the stolen goods through the farm of Mr. John Badcock, near Abingdon, the suspicions of the local authorities were aroused, and an inquiry was set on foot which has led to the impeachment and con- sequent incarceration of no less than seventeen persons who are stated to have been more or less concerned in the matter. During the last two years, as appears by the confes sion of one of the prisoners, upwards of one hundred quarters of malt have been stolen from various malt houses and warehouses in the town, together with a large quantity of hops, amounting to many pockets; and the precautions taken by the thieves have been so well concerted and carried out that no loss of any conse quence appears to have been discovered. with On t he a t m u Say,r a d gitr t e he 1 te s f l e t r h , t t h h e e m h e a r y e o u r g , r ir E r v v. 3 J. .T p r e . n dell Bel cher, Mr. John Hyde, and Mr. J. Tomkins, were occu pied the whole of the day in hearing evidence, and have since then been engaged no less than four days, with Mr. Frankum, the clerk, in thoroughly investigating the facts, and their exertions throughout have been most in defatigable. The inquiry is still going on, and so varied are the details—that is, so many separate thefts have to be spoken to—that it remains now problematical as to when final committal will terminate the proceedings be fore trial. The question that may naturally suggest itself as to the vigilance of the local police is easily set at rest by the assertion that almost all the malt, hops, or corn have been transported by water, the river running round the very buillings of the town. The confession of the principal offender is most volu minous as well as astounding in character, involving the disclosure of robberies to a vast amount of money. In the present state of the investigation it is impossible to arrive accurately at the quantity of malt, &c., stol.n, as further disclosures will doubtless lead to other quan tities being discovered. Miss Spenlove, brewer, has been the principal loser of the malt and hops, but others in the town are sufferers from the robberies. Three or four hundred separate cases of felony have been admitted by three of the prisoners.

DUBLIN, OCT. 19.---The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Associatbn took place this day in Conciliation Ilall; Joseph Miles M‘Donnell, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, on taking the chair, said it was not usual for chairmen to trespass on the time of the meeting; but he would take the liberty of saying, that great blame was to be attached to Sir Randolph Routh for his conduct during the present state of affair:. Mr. RAY having read the minutes of the last d proceedings. Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL read the following letter from his father, and moved that it be inserted on the minutes : " Derrynane Abbey, Cahirciveen, Oct. 16. "My dear Ray,—l enclose you a letter which I re ceived from an old and much-respected friend of mine, Mr. John Walshe, of Castlehill, near Crostnolina. He is a man of independent fortune and most respectable character; he resides upon his own estate, and has been, and is, a bountiful benefactor to the labouring classes in his neighbourhood, to many of whom he has given con stant employment. " What a contrast between him and the absentee pro prietors of many estates in his neighbourhood. " He wishes to be a member of the Loyal National Repeal Association, and has the kindness to ask me to propose him. I have pride and pleasure in complying with his request, and beg that you will get my son John to propose him in my name. My loved friend, Tom Steele, will, I am sure, cheerfully second him. " Add to the subscriptions for the week the following— Daniel O'Connell, M.P. £l 0 0 Maurice O'Connell, Ma) .. ' 1 0 0 John O'Connell, M.P. 1 0 0 Daniel O'Connell, jun., M.P. . . being for the current month of October. " I should much regret that the plan for a national committee of landed proprietors meeting in Dublin should be buried in oblivion. It shall not be go, if I can help it. The mernpyy of it, at least, shall live, even if it should fail to be rWiee4 for any active purposes. " It is quite true that there seems no kind of necessity for Parliament meeting sooner than the usual period ; and, on the contrary, a more speedy meeting might, in my humble judgment, tend to embarrass and retard the carrying out of the plans of the Lord Lieutenant for an immediate supply of food and wages for the people. Ra pidity is most necessary, else the people will die of hun ger before the supplies arrive. " Another fearful calamity has been inflicted by Pro vidence on the remoter parts of the country. The last fortnight has been marked by a continuance of tremen dous storms, with the wind blowing terrifically, princi pally from the west. The coasters, generally from Liverpool and the eastern coast of Ireland, and from England, laden with corn and maize, have been all kept, by the adverse winds and storm, from their ports of deli. very, and it is to be very much apprehended some of them are lost. It is certain that all are delayed beyond their time. The Government steamers should be em ployed to alleviate this calamity, as they are able to live in a sea which would overwhelm the coasters ; and be sides, the steamers of.course are not much affected by the point from which the wind blows. " The most urgent and rapid measures are necessary to alleviate this increasing calamity. If the national committee were sitting, most minute detail s f rom each locality of this increased calamity would be placed at once before Government, and means to alleviate the ad ditional horror would be adopted by our energetic Lord- Lieutenant. " Again, if the national committee were sitting, it is probable that some one would suggest the formation of four sub committees—one for Connaught, one for Ulster, one for Munster, and one for Leinster—one for each of the four provinces ; each to report from time to time, as occasion would require, to the general com mittee ; and thus, by a just division of labour, mea sur, s for the relief of every locality in each province would be going on simultaneously and without inter ruption. " Many would suggest that the Repeal Association ought to select some of their members to form the nu cleus of a national committee. _ _ " I am decidedly of a different opinion, and am con vinced that the Repeal Association should have nothing to do with the original formation of any other body. Besides, the projected national committee should be quite free from the colour of party feeling of any kind. It should have, in fact, no political or sectarian cha racter. " I repeat that men of all classes, creeds, and parties, should meet, without the least apprehension of any dis cussion on the subjects on which they differ. The entire mind and exertions of the committee should be given to alleviate the present calamities, and obviate, if possible, a recurrence in future years. " For the present I dismiss any further consideration of the national committee. If it take place, it must origi nate, and be modelled in its constitution, by other hands than mine; in short, it must emanate from the sense of imminent danger, and anxiety for preventing the fatal consequences arising in the minds of great leading pro prietors of land in Ireland. If they do not feel the ne cessity for such a committee, my voice ought to be heard in vain. To effectuate - any good, the body should have from the nature and number of its members powerful influence in England as well as in Ireland. In short, it should embrace within its numbers the leading nobility and gentry of all parties; and unless a very influential number of men of all parties concur in forming such body, it ought not to exist. "This morning's post brought me the Cork Examiner, containing a paragraph headed Conciliation,' but, alas I alas ! little calculated to obtain that most desirable ob ject. It falls into the usual and deplorable fault. It calls on those who are right—' the moral force men'—to give in, and it calls on those who are wrong—the physical force men—to persevere. " It is, however, but due to the people of Cork to re ceive with respectful attention any suggestion coming from any portion of them. But the association has a duty which it owes to Old Ireland and nationality—a sacred and solemn duty that must not be violated or com promised. The association must not be even suspected of paltering in a double sense—asserting on the one hand the principle of moral force alone, and at the same time letting in, as if by a side wind, the destructive agency of the physical force principle. "It is in vain to soften the matter away—we must meet it in all its bearings, and ab ove a ll, preserv e the mem bers of the Repeal A ssoc i at i on from the danger o f con viction for high treason. It will be our duty, out of respect for our Cork repealers, to demonstrate to them the existence of such danger. My experience, as a Crown lawyer, gives me some title to be heard upon that point. They may think otherwise in Cork at present ; formerly I should, I believe, be able to command confidence as a man and as is lawyer, " Any alteration in the sentiments of others can make but one alteration in mine, and that is by producing an increased anxiety that it should please a merciful Pro vidence to spare me just life enough to see the restora tion of the Irish Parliament, and to see the attainment of that restoration completed without one act of violence, or the shedding one drop of human blood. "In the meantime, my advice to the association is this—to act by this document when received in the manner in which we have hitherto acted towards all im portant documents, that is, to refer it, before it is read to the association, to the committee, to consider its contents, and report those contents to the association, together with a suitable reply to be submitted to the considera tion of the association. " If the committee will do me the honour of entrusting me to prepare that reply, I will cheerfully undertake the duty, and transmit the reply, when complete, to the asso ciation, which will then at once give publicity to the re solutions and our reply. " I do not bespeak any favourable reception for my reply; it will be an important act of my political life— obedient solely to the dictates of honour and conscience, and looking to no other temporal result but the restora tion of the legislative independence of old Ireland. " Believe me to be very faithfully yours, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " To Mr. T. M. Ray." The rent for the week amounted to 671. 103. PEEL versus RUSSELL. The Drogheda Conservative —no friend of the ex- Premier when the llon. Baronet held the reins of power —thus joins its repeal contemporaries in the cry for his restoration to Downing-street:— " Never was the incapacity of the Whigs for the go vernment of this country so apparent as at the present momentous crisis, when Ireland is bordering on a state of insurrection for the want of food; not that there is not a sufficiency of grain, but from the spirit of specu lation engendered by the late Treasury minute amongst the corn gamblers both on this and the other side of the Channel. Sir R. Peel, last year, when the wants of the people were not so pressing, come forward, and by the establishment of depots kept the markets at a fair rate; and, from his known determination and wisdom, corn speculators were prevented from resorting to those nefa rious arts which tend to starve the poor. Lord John Russell must either act or resign the reins of Govern ment into Sir R. Peel's bands; for the united voice of a starving people will shake even Downing -street, and be heard within the wall s of the royal palaces. The poor of this country want cheap and wholesome food, and when this is to be ha d . by a little energy on the part of the Government, they have a right to demand it. If the money to be expended on Buckingham Palace—on royal steam-boats—and other useless luxuries, were English r u l ers to wcountry—their applied to the purchase of corn for the consumption of the Irish poor, the money would be better applied, and the country secured from outrage! The Times may t a unt us with our pove rt y --but we owe i t all to the hridrnsb this unfortunate pursued ab an d on i ng i t to by the rule of unprinciple d leaders, who sold th e people's 6tele-rig' legislation interest for their own a gg randisement." DAY OF HUMILIATION. The following is a copy of a circular addressed by the Lord Primate to the clergy in the archdiocese of Armagh:— Palace, Armagh, Oct. 16. " Reverend Sir, —In consequence of the great distress which prevails so generally among the poorer classes, by reason of the destructive blight of the crop on which they principally depend for subsistence, a wish has been expressed by many members of the church that a special day should be set apart on which Public Prayers should be offered up in acknowledgement of the Divine hand which has sent this calamity. I therefore request that you will celebrate Divine Sonic(' in your church, on Friday, the 30th of October, in the manner following : After using the accustomed and prescribed form of prayer, together with the special form set forth by the au thority of the Lord-Lieutenant in Council for the pre sent time, to be read before the Litany, you are to read the prayers in the Communion service, from the be ginning of the 51st Psalm to the end of that service. I recommend that a sermon be preached suitable to the occasion ; en i, if there be singing in the church, that the penitental psalms be selected. " I enclose a notice, which it is my wish that you should read after the Nicene Creed, on Sunday, the 25th of October. I remain, Rev. Sir, your faithful servant, " JOHN G. ARMAGH " The Incumbent of "Notice of Divine Service on Friday, the 30th of Oc tuber, 1846, to be read on Sunday, the 25th, after the Nicene Creed ; with an Exhortation for the people to attend, in token of their humiliation under the chastening hand of Almighty God. "You are requested to take notice, that, by direction of the Lord Primate, there will be Divine service in this church, and in all the churches of the diocese of Armagh, on Friday next, the 20th instant. And lam desired to exhort you, dearly beloved, to assemble and meet together on that day, that we may make our common supplica tions to our Heavenly Father, as a public acknowledg ment, in this time of dearth and scarcity, that we despise not the chastisement which He has laid upon us, in with holding the wonted provision of food cn which the poor of this country principally depend for their subsistence. We are taught in His Holy Word (Psalm cvii. 34), that it is for the wickedness of them that dwell therein' that he maketh a fruitful lane barren.' Our transgressions have kindled the anger of the Lord against us, and have drawn down his displeasure. It is our duty, therefore, to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God' (Peter i. v. 6) ; to confess our manifold sins and wickedness with an humble, lowly, penitent, and obedient heart ; to beseech Him that lie would not remember our offences, nor the offences of our forefathers, neither take vengeance of our sins ;' but that He would graciously look upon our afflictions,' pitifully behold our sorrows,' mercifully forgive our sins,' and favourably hear our prayers ;' that he would make speed to save us,' and make haste to help us.' And while I exhort all of you, my dear brethren, to join together in these ' our common supplications,' I am especially to encourage the poor and needy to draw near the throne of grace, and call upon God in the time of their trouble, who hath promised to hear their cry and to help them. Let them come into His courts,' and pour out their hearts before Him, and make known their requests unto God,' that he may ' grant them patience under their sufferings, and a happy issue out of all their afflictions.' "And such as are possessed of wealth and abundance, I exhort, not only to pray for those who are in distress, but to relieve them to the utmost of their power ; to open their hands wide unto their brethren' (Dent. xv. 8); to deal their bread to the hungry, and when they see the naked to cover them' (Is. lviii. 7); that the blessing of them that were ready to perish may come upon them' (Job xxix. 13). " And, that I may be pure from the blood of all men (Acts xx., 26), it is also incumbent on me to warn those who are still impenitent and hardened in heart, that they continue not to sin with a high hand. Let the calamity with which we are now visited lead them to re pent, and to remember (as admonished by the Church in her Commination Service) how dreadful is 'the judg ment hanging over our heads, and always ready to fall upon us. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. For, 10, the Lord is come out of His place to visit the wickedness of such as dwell upon the earth. But who may abide the day of His coming? Who shall be able to stand when He appeareth? His fan is in His hand, and He will purge his floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but he will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire. Then shall it be too late to knock when the door shall be shut; and too late to cry for mercy when it is the time of justice. There fore, brethren, take we heed betime, while the day of salvation lasteth; for the night cometh, when none can work. Let us not abuse the goodness of God, who calleth us mercifully to amendment, and of his endless pity promiseth us forgiveness of that which is past, if with a perfect and true heart we return Unto him. For though our sins be as red as scarlet they shall be made as white as snow ; and though they be like purple yet they shall be made white as wool. "furn ye,' saith the Lord,' from all your wickedness, and your sins shall not be your destruction.' Although we have sinned, yet have we an advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous, and he is the propitiation of our sins. For He was wounded for our offences, and smit ten for our wickedness. Let us, therefore, return unto Him, who is the merciful receiver of all true penitent sinners ; assuring ourselves that He is ready to receive us, and most willing to pardon us, if we come unto Him with faithful repentance ; if we submit ourselves unto Him, and from henceforth walk in his ways ; if we will take His easy yoke and light burden upon us, to fol low him in lowliness, patience, and charity, and be or dered by the governance of his Holy Spirit, seeking al ways his glory, and serving Him duly in our avocation with thanksgiving.' This, if we do, Christ will not only de liver us from the 'bitter pains of eternal death,' but will cause our light affliction, which is but for a moment,' to work for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory' in his everlasting kingdom, unto which He vouch safes to bring us all, for his infinite mercy.

FROU THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS IMF. CHRONICLE.—The Dublin Fi cemon's Journal of Saturday last, in an article occasioned by the opinions we have promulgated respecting the . C.ispoial of the waste lands (opinions to which, as we are pleased, but not surprised, to find that influential paper gives its cor dial assent), bears the following valuable testimony to the complete practicability of the reclamation of those lands by peasant labour : " A week's ramble through Connemara, or Erris, or Kerry, and we presume the same to be true of other counties where the waste lands abound, will convince the most sceptical that labour can be profitably employed in the reclamation even of such lands as would not prove remunerative to the large capitalist. The Irish peasant's labour was hitherto of little value in the mar ket. Labour was abundant, employment scarce; and whenever the peasant found an opportunity of mingling his labour with the barren soil, he did so, though with no better prospect than that of having the owner of the soil come in and possess himself of the permanent fruits of his toil, before he had himself reaped even what would Pay him a tithe of the value of his labour. We have seen this process repeated many times by the same peasant family. We have seen him reclaim a patch of bog, enjoy it for a brief period, and then yield it to a rent payer ; then retire to another patch, to reclaim and yield it up in like manner, and so on, labouring with the full conviction that one day or other his lord would have all the benefit, but ever hoping, even against experience, that the evil day might be far off. The peasant family did this because their time was valueless, and by such a process they were enabled to make it yield them a sus tenance equivalent, perhaps, to a fifth of its market value. Yet that fractional payment kept them from begging, and rendered what would otherwise continue to be barren soil, productive and valuable." Sic vos non vobis! Are time the prirposes for which landed property is ordained in a country pretending to civilisation ? Is it that he who sows may not reap— that not he who toils, but some other, may receive the benefit ? We all know the foundation and justification of the institution of property to be precisely the reverse. The moral and social basis of the right of property is the right of the labourer to the fruits of his labour. All other proprietary rights exist for the sake of this. The millionnaire, who never did a day's work of useful labour w ith h ea d or h an d s , who is society's debtor for everything, and its creditor nothing, has his property protected, not for its own sake, nor for his, but because to meddle with it would be to violate the right which some ancestor or predecessor, who did work for it, had to transmit it freely to his de scendants, or to persons of his choice. If all property rests upon no other than this foundation, landed property does so pre-eminently. Land is not the produce of la bour. No landlords ancestor made the land. Why, then, is land appropriated? Wo do not mean why was it appropriated, for we know that the most usual ground of possession was force and conquest : but why is its appropriation rightful? Why is property in land a recognised necessity of society? on what ground have, not usurpers and tyrants, but sages and philanthropists, defended it? On this—that land, although not made by labour, can only be rendered useful by it, and because labour will not be applied in the most useful manner by the exertions of any others than those who have a per manent interest in the land. Land might be held in common, or, what would be less irratioral, it might be granted out on yearly leases by the State. It is con ceded to individuals in permanent property for one legi timate reason only, because a permanent proprietor has the strongest motive to be an improver. Proprietors exist in order that they may be improvers, not in order that they may profit by improvements made by others. When the proprietors of land, gene rally speaking, are not improvers, the purposes for which landed property exists are not answered. When instead of being improvers, they are an obstacle to im provement—when, without any public purpose in view, they keep land waste which others are eager to culti vete, or suffer it to be made valuable by those who have no permanent interest in it, in order to seize on the value —we do not say that they are culpable. The law gave them the land, attaching no conditions to the gift, and none but an extraordinary man is a law to himself, ac cording to a higher standard than custom. But we do say that landed property, thus used, exists to frustrate the ends which it is designed to promote. It is insti tuted that improvement , may not be hindered ; it exists as the hindrance. It is instituted that what is created by industry may abide with the creators ; it exists that what their labour alone has called into being may be wrung from them. Seeing what the " indolent Celt." is already found capable of achieving, without the stimulus of property—seeing that the mere prospect of a few years precarious possession has so often induced him, without science, without capital, without aid from the possessors of either, not under the encouragement of law, but in violation of it, eith no re source but his own hands, and those of his tuerform what is regarded as ono of tho.rnost arduous feats of agricultural improvement, the conver sion of peat-bog into arable land ; we are justified in believing that if the primeval waste had stood open in the primeval manner to the first occupier, as the prize of him who succeeded in making it valuable, it would long ere this have been covered from one end to the other by a hard-working, frugal, peaceable, and, in all probability, prudent and self-restraining peasant pro prietary. Let the Legislature, then, repair its error. The rights it has conferred, mischievous and anti-social as they have in fact proved, let it not resume without compensation. Those rights have a market value, and let that value be paid to the last penny, But let it be the present value, not a speculative price, grounded on the improvements which are only to be effected by means of the purchase. The value of the bogs and mountains to their nominal owners is but a trifle. They are en titled to no more ; what more the Legislat ure can spare is required to feed the industrious improvers, while they work for their own future independence, and the State will be amply repaid by a fraction of the value which their labour will bestow on the now worthless land. TlMES.—After the meeting of Parliament, and the first general intimations permi:ted to ooze through the lips of Royalty, the next great event, waited for with an interval of deep expectancy, is the Ministerial announce. ment of taxes to be remitted or imposed—of reductions or augmentations of the national expenditure. Two or three millions a year are the utmost range to which the uncertainty extends. In point of fact, however, an appa rent remission to that amount must be covered by the imposition or retention of some temporary burden. A Minister thinks himself exceedingly fortunate if he can relieve the people of so much as one million on the whole account. By the side of this annual question we may see the magnitude of that other of which not the month of February, but the month of October, is the chief crisis—the annual estimate of the food of the people. The problem, taking into account the harvest and the consumption, both of these islands and of the whole world, measured by money, is ten or twenty times as im • portant to these islands alone as that which the Minister has to decide in his annual expose. A difference of ten shillings a quarter in wheat denotes a total expense to the British consumer of about 10,000,0001. ; very considerably more, taking into account the correspond ing rise in other descriptions of grain. It denotes, also, a corresponding amount of hunger, weakness, disease, and crime. Of course the question does not merely concern this or that class, the agriculturist, the mill owner, the corn dealer, the stockbroker, or the amateur alarmist ; it concerns the whole people. Nor is it merely a matter of interest or curiosity. It is of the first importance that we should know at once our pro spects. Every person, from the Premier forecasting the utmost horizon of the future, down to the labourer engaging himself for the next twelvemonth to his master, is equally concerned to know the ruling prices of corn for that period. On such a subject probable conjectures, daring as they may be, are better than none. It is wisdom in this instance to lean to the gloomy side. A few weeks, or even a few months, of exaggerated Edam, are a far less evil than a dreadful surprise, when it is too late to avail our selves of the knowledge which time has brought to our unwilling apprehensions. What is excessive alarm, in comparison with downright famine? What is wheat at 70s. now, in comparison with wheat at 100 s. next sum mer or spring ? If all parties honestly set to work cal culating the gigantic, but by no means inscrutable, problem, there would bo such a general agreement as would take away the necessity of conjecture. But, without any inviduous comparison between the general intellect of the different parties, it cannot be denied that they who are in the position of sellers at this time of the year are a class of persons much less accustomed, and much less qualified, to consider the problem as a whole than the much smaller body with which in the first instance most of them have to deal. The farmer, with rare exceptions, does not enter into national or rather the universal question. He is generally unacquainted with the great data necessary to anything like an approxi mate result. This is proved by the extraordinary and im possible statements which they are ready to accept on respectable authority. While one party is too unin formed, and the other too interested to enlighten us, it becomes the duty of all who have means and leisure for the inquiry, to give the nation the benefit of their con jectures. The sooner we know exactly how we stand the better for all. If it be probable the food will rise before next harvest to famine prices, Ministers, farmers, manufacturers, shipowners, speculators, will all act ac cordingly. But already, in our humble opinion, enough is taken for granted to put all these parties on the qui vine. The estimated deficiency of 4,000,000 quarters, as compared with our probable wants, is itself a matter for the most special and anxious provision. Even if there existed so large an aggregate superabundance over the demands of the corn-growing countries within reach of British capital, its transport to these shores is itself a matter of positive difficulty. The conveyance of 4,000,000 quarters to these islands, within the time that will answer our purpose, is a task possible indeed, but which has no precedent. A quantity not far from that amount, including all descripti ons o f gra i n, was ea red for home consumption during the first eight nv,r,tl;trs year.

EXIMPLES. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 21.—The Victory presented a highly interesting appearance this morning, her three mast-heads and flag-staffs, surmounted by wreaths of laurel, the royal arms at the break of the poop surrounded by a tasteful wreath of laurel interspersed with flowers, and the brass-plate on the deck, inscri')ed " Here Nelson fell," ornamented by a simple wreath of laurel. The commemoration dinner took place in the dining cabin on the main-deck, the ward-room being too small to accom modate comfortably the party invited to celebrate the anniversary of Trafalgar. The cabin was decorated with a transparency of the departed hero, behind the President's chair, and the cabin was otherwise appropri ately decorated with martial trophies. Soou after six o'clock Captain Pasco took the chair. On the removal of the cloth the following toasts were given from the chair:—" The Queen;" " The Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family;" " The immortal memory of Nelson, and those who fell with him;" "Sir Charles Ogle, the Com mander-in -Chief;" " Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker;"' " Lord Auckland and the Admiralty." By Rear-Ad miral Parker—" Captain Pasco, and the rest of the sur viving gallant officers who fought at the battle of Tra falgar." Chairman—" The Duke of Wellington and the Army." The festivities were kept up until a late hour, and the men as well as the officers were properly regaled in com memoration of " Trafalgar day." The Scourge disembarked yesterday at the dockyard 500 of the 27th Regiment, whom she brought from the Channel Islands. They marched to Fort Cumberland. The Scourge is ordered, after completing fuel, to pro ceed to Cork with marines, and there remain until fur ther orders are transmitted to her. The Powerful, 84, was undocked this morning, and the Crocodile, 8, Commander Lowe, docked in her room. The Sylvia, tender to the Seaflower cutter, Commander J. Roepel, arrived this morning from Jersey to obtain provisions. - The Netley tender arrived this morning with super numeraries from Devonport. The Mercury tender sailed last evening with super numeraries for Sheerness and Woolwich. The Raleigh, 50, Commodore Sir Thomas 'Torbert, and the Constance, 50, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, arrived at Madeira, from the Mediterranean, on the 31st August, and sailed on the same day for South America. The Hound, 10, Commander Wood, arrived at Ma deira on the 21st of September, and sailed on the 23d for the coast of Africa. The Contest, 12, Commander M'Murdo, arrived at Madeira on the 31st of August, and sailed on the 6th ult. for the coast of Africa. Lieutenant John Green (1809) died at his residence, Kingston, near Portsmouth, on Sunday last, after a lin gering illness. This t,fficer was a midshipman of the Courageux in the expedition topferrol, and of the Ve nerable in Saumarez's action in Algesiras bay and the Straits of Gibraltar ; and in action with the French 80- gun ship Formidable off Cadiz, 1801. Commanded a boat of the Eclair, cutting out a vessel from under the batteries at Martinique, and employed in boats in several actions off Santa Eustatia and the Spanish Main, and in a boat of the Galatea at the capture of several vessels in the harbour of Barcelona, 1806 . Led the boats of the Galatea at the capture, after three repulses, by boarding of the French national corvette Lynx, of 16 guns and 161 men, and was twice wounded ; and again in her boats at the capture of the French armed vessel Reunion, 1807. Present at the surrender of the Danish West India Islands. In command of a tender to the Galatea armed with a light carronade and 20 men, captured a vessel of very superior force, and was again wounded ; but being a few days afterwards engaged by a French national 14-gun cutter, was captured. Was Lieutenant of the Musquito in the Elbe, and captured an armed vessel at the mouth of the river Oost. Thus, after being thirty-seven years a lieutenant, Lieutenant Green died holding no higher rank, leaving seven daughters and two sons almost wholly unprovided for. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 20.—Her,Majesty's troop-ship Belle isle, 72, Captain John Kingcombe, has been signalised off this port from Quebec and Halifax. WooLwlcrt, OCT. 21.—The Gladiator steam-frigate, Captain John Robb, is under orders to leave Woolwich to-morrow (Thursday), at one o'clock in the afternoon, for Portsmouth and the Cape of Good Hope. Major- General Sir Henry Pottinger, the newly-appointed Go vernor of the Cape of Good Hope, will embark in the Gladiator at Portsmouth for a passage to that colony. The Sphynx steam-frigate, Captain Cragg, has re ceived all her stores on board, and is now ready for sea. The Grappler steam-vessel has taken on board all her sea stores. Owing to an omission in the manuscript, the names of the naval officers who visited Woolwich Dockyard on Monday, and went on board the Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, C. 8., were given incorrectly. The following is correct : Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarecce, G.C.H.; Captain Clarence Edward Paget, Captain Lord George raulet, PUBLICATIONS.

But it must be considered that we have not so good a period for the importation of our estimated deficiency as that( (rein January Ito September 1. To avert a famine we trust have nearly all in before next August. Should an un safe and improvident cheapness in these islands send rho disposable stores of the world to other countries, and should we only realise our state next spring, it will then be absolutely impossible to bring to these islands what will then be needed. It will be impossible to divert the shipping from its other distant or pressing engagements. Gradually, of court e, the importation can to e ff ect( d, but with di ffi culty, and with a coesiderable sacrifice to other interests. But it cannot be done at all unless it be taken in time.' POST.—We observe with very great regret the tone in which the Visitation Charge of the Bishop of this dio cese, published in our paper of Tuesday, lf.,s been criti cised by some of our Gontemporaries. We do nit our selves say that the journalists are called upon to otftr panegyric instead of the severities in which they have indulged; but we think they might have been silent, or, if they criticised at all, have done so in a more impartial spirit, and is a more respectful tone. The Mo. ning Chronicle calls the Bishop an ecclesiastical Pe el, and says that, in perusing his Lordship's Charge," the curious rt ader may have been more than once reminded of the Minis ter of promise and expediency, who first got his party into an awful scrape, and then patriotically betrayed them for their own and the public good." We cannot excuse the malignity of likening the respectable Bishop of this diocese to such a public cheat and counterfeit as the late Premier. This, to use the words of the Right Rev. Prelate himself, is " an imputation which no person who did not wilfully misconstrue, or strangely misunderstand the language of his Charge, would have thought of casting upon him." It should be distinctly borne in mind that while Sir R. Peel wheeled round and joined the camp of those he had previously opposed, he could give no intelligible reason for doing so. He could give no reason at all, which would not have been as cogent, while he was doing his. best against the free-traders, as it was when he made it the excuse for joining their side. Not so the Bishop of London. He frankly and fairly tells the reason why ho gave certain advice to his clergy in public, and then told them in private that he would not hold them bound to follow his advice. Finding a diversity of practice to exist in the perfbrmance of Divine service in his diocese, he re commended a strict adherence to the law, so as to ensure uniformity. The Chronicle says that the Bishop has not any homage to render to truth and reason. He still think& he was right in his ruhricAl recommendations, only ha has miscalculated his power of withstanding clamout This is not a fair representation. What is true is, tba, he did not calculate upon any such clamour arising as that which did arise. He found a great difficulty which he did not anticipate. Worldly. wise men will say that he should have foreseen the probability of all that happened, and thus have avoided the position of clifn. culty in which he subsequently found himself, unless he were determined and prepared to fight his way through it. But in our opinion a Bishop of the Church is not to be blamed because he had a rather better opinion of the general reasonableness of his people than they deserved. He might have calculated more shrewdly, and had he read Voltaire more, and the Bible less, he possibly would have judged more accurately as to the extent of popular fanaticism, and the " clamour" which shallow-- minded persons would be ready to make when the key note of their most violent prejudices was touched. But we think it perfectly clear that the Bishop has frankly and fairly explained those questionable points which have been made the subject of so much complaint against him. HERALD.—If any sanguine projector, some sixteen or seventeen years ago, had enumerated, atnonr, the merits of a railway scheme, the moral and sanatory con sequences attendant on its successful completion, he would inevitably have found his speculations over whelmed with unmitigated ridicule.- That scepticism which spared not the mechanical and commercial pro spects of such undertakings would have shown even less mercy to this satellite crotchet of social improvement. The dryness of mere engineering controversy, and cal culation would have been often rel ieve d by discussing the moral tendencies of a tunnel or the sanatory charms of an embankment. But time is a grand revolutionary agent. The full development of the railway system itself has not more completely overshadowed the sneers which attended its birth, nor more entirely exceeded the commercial expectations of its early promoters, than would this hope of moral and physical bene fits. A Parliamentary " blue book, " published last Monday, contains certain evidence relating to railways in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, which strongly illustrates the local consequences of their completion. The incumbent of St. Matthew's, Bethnal-green, attributes a considerable improve ment which has taken place in his parish to the building of the Eastern Counties Railway. New houses, better adapted to the wants of the inhabitants, more soundly constructed, more completely ventilated, and, of course, perfectly clean, have replaced the old tenements in which the vicious and profligate classes of that parish formerly vegetated in darkness and in dirt. The passage of a railway through a metropolitan district doubtless occu pies m uch space upon w hi c h b u ildi ngs were previously crowded ; but its chief and most important effect is in disturbing the old arrangement of streets, cutting through and exposing to public gaze courts, alleys, and recesses known only to the criminal or the police, at tracting public attention to the dwellings of the very poor or the very vicious, and stimulating the owners of property to the erection of new buildings. The broken and irregular portions of old houses exposed on each side of the line must be completed and faced with new erections ; and by this means the best portions of the Building Act, under the control of which every new tenement must be raised, extend their beneficial operation to that vicinity where its provisions are most needed. The practical working of the whole is well shown in the fact that new houses have been built in Bethnal-green, on each side of the railway, of a better and more wholesome description than those which had previously occupied the same spot. The tendency of all evidence upon this subject is to show that the honest and hard. working artisans, who had previously dwelt almost in foul and squalid wretchedness, being compelled to seek new residences, have invariably got better lodged in consequence of the removal. They have gone into other streets in the immediate vicinity, they have taken houses built expressly on a speculation of this general disturbance, and in a few or no instances known to the parochial authorities have they changed from houses close or dirty to those which were closer or dirtier. As the mere herding together of great numbers propagates every corrupt and depraved tendency, so the occasional dispersion of a dissolute aggregation, by destroying the influence of evil example, entails a social benefit. On this account also, therefore, the erection of a great public work in the neighbourhood of a large town ex ercises a secondary or reflected influence in promoting the combined morality of its inhabitants, and diminish ing the reproductive virulence of crime, by an extensive dilution and dispersion. Bat we are not on that account wholly insensible to the overcrowding in other districts which for a time must necessarily follow the expulsion of many inhabitants from the site of a railway. That pressure upon other portions of the same town is, how ever, only temporary. The space really covered and permanently occupied by a railway bears a very small proportion to the numberof houses at first appropriated. A short period is sufficient to bring within the eventual limits of a narrow strip of land the works whieh origi nally spread over an acre; and the undertaking is no sooner completed than new structures rise on every side, perfecting the angular remnants of squares and streets, and affording by the rivalry of their land lords every inducement to the labouring poor to enter new tenements. Those persons only whose pro fessional labours, or whose humane impulses, have carried them frequently and constantly into the dwell ings of the industrious poor, can have any clear concep tion of the callousness to dirt which necessity entails, and such only can appreciate the importa nce of occa sionally urging the labouring population into a change of residence. The poor man cannot remove his family to a country residence, or t o a watering-place, while his town house undergoes repair. Painters, whitewashers, and nightmen, jostling the ricketty infant, or disturbing the daily meal, where whole families live in a single apartment, constitutes an effectual process of ejectment. The single proposition for any such purification is inva riably met by the tenant with objections and diffi culties. He alleges that he is quite content with the existing condition of his wretched room, chiefly under the apprehension of an increased rent being the eventual consequence of augmented clean liness. Few things are more remarkable than the small amount of money expended in house rent by the industrious population of towns. Men earning steady wages for years do not expend one -twentieth part of their income upon lodging. Both on moral and econo mical grounds it can be successfully shown the.l, the tem porary disturbance consequent upon the formation of a new thoroughfare, the erection of a public, building, or the construction of a r a il wa y, t en d s eventually to im prove the dwellings of the poor, by the compulsory soundness and purity of every fresh arrangement. The industrious and the dissolute poor are equally exposed to the operation of these causes, and though affected in, different ways the entire benefit rendered to both far transcends the entire injury. pa the whole th ere can be no doubt that the community in which such change.% are effected reaps a permanent and wholesome advan tage. If the dwellings of poverty are occasionally dis turbed, the haunts of vice aro equally uprooted, the receptacles of confederated depravity disgorge their foul ness, and the profligate cont agion of crime is robbed of its concentration. We understand that Mr. Tait, the eminent book • seller and publisher, of Edinburgh, intends to retire in the course of next year from the business which he has so long carried on. The whole of his printing materials and machinery are to be disposed of by private contract, as well as the copyright of Twit's Magazine, a Aork which has been conducted for so many years in an ex tremely creditable manner.
