Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the Cora lartion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light tkerto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects !r soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the Introduction of gas in dwellintr-houses, to the expense of fittings, to itS destruction of fluniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ; f t 'ese are entirely obviated by the " PATENT UxivEasar, Gas x: j ,„,, t rixa." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than is com thi","'Y supposed, it ls adapted for private dwellings, as well as for ~,..-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the ilall burners is amply sufficient to light a good-slzed room, at a sum measurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of sate or trouble. The meri • ts of the Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing ,; s 7r9 other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic Irlions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, T uesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir JOHN RENNIE, President, in the Chair. II: . gas burner of &novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. 2 Principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the .zutre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. i t '', air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was bieil and passed out by two series of flre-holes around the periphery, in pinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards the t he shape of a tulip, while the oxygen' of the air, mingling with cur baretted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, f laille was quite white down the top of the burner, w as very steady, v."as amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, stuere these tiurners have been used. In comparing the consumption ti,„ th ese burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying bite r light, of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a " . ' r light, with a saving of rather more than one-third."

LANDLORD'S ADVICE A landlord and tenant (so we have heard say) Had a meeting together on business one day. The tenant, it seems, pull'd a very long face, And mournfully stated the facts of his case. He told Mr. Landlord what cash he had spent, -And said he was sadly behind with his rent. And he hoped he'd excuse him not paying his due, But the landlord, of course, look'd remarkably blue. " I'm sorry (said he) that my rent isn't ready— Your payments have never been any too steady. I think you're at too much expense, my good man, You should try to be saving as much as you can ; In clothing, for instance, how much might be done, By purchasing garments of MOSES and SON. The clothing you buy is a hundred times worse, Yet a terrible hole does it make in your purse. Had your money at MOSES' fam'd warehouse been spent, You'd never have been so behind with your rent. Now take my advice (said the landlord) I pray, And tryto improve by the next quarter day. You'll find that you'll seldom be left in the lurch, Iryoi purchase at Aidgate, righ tfacicg the Church."

Granadians,—When I entered on the exercise of the supreme power to which I was called by the voice of the people and votes of the Congress, I found the republic threatened with disturbances in the south. I took the oath required by the! constitution, and I engaged to dis charge my duties faithfully, to be guided by the laws, and to do all the good in my power for the nation. It has been my constant endeavour to avoid all revolution ary contagion, and, preserving the strictest neutrality in regard to the dissensions prevailing in the Equador, to refute by my acts the accusation of being favourable to the policy of the then existing Government in the Equador. If, however, our relations with that republic became so complicated as to render it necessary to apply to Congress for permission to go to war in case they should not do us justice, I adopted that line of conduct which I had prescribed for myself so soon as I ascertained the tendency of that revolution, and the nature of the risks we had to meet. _ _ _ The appointment I made of an able and prudent ge neral to the command of the first division gave them to understand that it was not the love of martial glory which actuated me, and the result has corresponded with my expectation. The present administration of the Equador, animated by the most patriotic sentiments, have investigated and discussed any disputed points with an interest truly American. Through the medium of a public functionary and the general commanding in the south the utmost cordiality prevails at present in the re lations between the Columbian states, and peace has been firmly re established ; both Governments have signified their prompt approbation of the conditions agreed to, in the true spirit of that desire to promote the friendship and union which serves as a basis for interna tional communication. Granadians—Peace is secured to us; we have given a noble proof of our wish to preserve it amongst kindred nations. I entreat you to forego and forget all grounds of complaint. Let us, by our conduct and setting the example, effect a complete reconciliation with our bre thren of the Equador, so that all doubts may be dissi pated from amongst them of the discontented being enabled to occasion disorders under favour of our arms. This sentiment has operated powerfully on my mind, and induced me to accept the olive branch of peace held out on our frontiers by the Envoy of the Equador. It ought, likewise, to have due weight with you in eradi cating all antipathies and sympathies for one or other of those who were once our fellow-countrymen. Citizens—The public order is maintained and peace secured. I call on you to assist me in the important work of national improvement which I commenced im mediately on my assuming the supreme power of the nation. You all know my administrative programme in this respect, and I rely on your effective co-operation in opening channels for the exportation of our produce, and the exploration of our mines. Steam navigation will soon be seen on our coasts, and shortly after ex tended to the Magdelena. To these improvements the immigration of useful labour will soon follow, when the national prosperity will be the best guarantee for the preservation of order and of our independence. The rights of property shall be respected, and your personal liberty shall not be violated. Such are the du ties of the Government and its officials.

(Signed) EDMUND PEEL, Chairman, tatives. N ORTHAMPTON, BANBURY, AND CHELTENHAM RAILWAY. Fellow-citizens—lf at another time I led you, by order of the then Government, to victory, I now call on you to march with united energy to a more solid glory, to a civic victory; that the reconciliation begun by the admi nistration of 1841 may be consolidated, that no one may talk of past troubles, and that all Granadians may hoist but one standard. The Committee of Management, having now ascertained the amount of the liabilities of the Company, and having also fully in- Yestigated the merits of the project, have much satisfaction in sub mitting the following propositions for the acceptance of the share holders : Ist. That it is not expedient at present to renew the application to Parliament for the entire line from Northampton to Cheltenkam. 2d. That a renewed application be made to Parliament in the next session for a line from Northampton to Banbury. 3d. That for this purpose the capital be fixed at 450,0001., in 22,500 shares of 20/. each, which shall be offered to the shareholders in the Northampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham Company, in the proportion of one new share In exchange for every two shares in that undertaking. In our fatherland there ought not to exist two parties, one of the conquerors and another of the conquered ; such have been my sentiments ever since I took charge of the executive powers, and such should be yours, in order to furnish proofs of your civilisation. In govern ment affairs there should be no dissensions, since the duties we have all to perform are prescribed by the laws, and whoever attempts to injure the working of our constitution cannot be a good citizen. Should you think that in the course of my administra• tion I should not be guided by principles the most expe dient and necessary, you can discuss the question through the much-appreciated liberty of the press, which is duly respected, and which I am bound to respect. Those who wish to address anyobservations tothe Government. direct, may rely that they shall be fully considered and duly investigated, to ascertain if they are just and rea sonable. Those gentlemen who have been selected and appointed to the political and financial departments of the state, profess the same identical principles set forth in my messages addressed to the Legislative body; they are, however, at libery to resign whenever their opinions do not coincide with those entertained by the Govern ment. Should the opposition in the Cortes constitute a larger majority than that which now supports me, it shall share in the Government with me, for such is the prac- tice made perfect by the aspicious representative system on which our constitution is founded ; by the same rule I shall continue to nominate and appoint those who exe cute the orders of the Executive Government. Parties accepting this proposition will have credit for a deposit of 21. 2s. upon each new share, and will be entitled to receive back 125., the proportion remaining in hand of the deposit of 41. already paid on two shares in the old undertaking. The London and North-Western Railway Company have agreed, under a joint direction, to subscribe one-third of the capital, and to take a lease of the line in perpetuity, with a guarantee of 41. per cent. per annum, and half of the surplus profits. The Committee have great satisfaction in stating that they have no reason to anticipate any opposition to interfere with their obtain ing the Act in the ensuing session of Parliament, and that the traffic on the line will be such as to render it highly remunerative to the Shareholders.

Citizens—Armed in defence of your country, you are distinguished for your love of order and of liberty ; and I congratulate you on your having fulfilled the duties the constitution and the laws impose on you. On a former occasion I had to appreciate your courage and your privations. You were my companions on many a dreary day, but now you are the guardians of your country's prescribed rights. You have acquired the most enviable glory, that of citizen soldiers - - On such a solemn occasion as the present, when I address you in consequence of the public peace being secured, I consider the present a favourable opportunity on public grounds, to exercise the more agreeable duty with which the constitution has invested the Executive Power, that of granting an amnesty to several Gra nadians, who, having deserted their duty, offended the laws. I hope and trust that they will return repentant to their respective homes, and become as goo'd citizens as the immense majority of their countrymen. " Granadians ! I salute you, and repeat the assurance of being your friend and fellow-citizen. (Signed) " T. C. DE MOSQUEIRA. " Bogota. July, 2, 1846." LADIES TRAVELLING.

THE RIVER PLATE. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 21.—8 y the Margaretta, which arrived off Cape Clear on Saturday last, we have ad vices from Monte Video to the 14th of July. The 45th Regiment had departed for the Cape of Good Hope on the 4th, in her Majesty's ship Resistance, and the 73d Regiment was to leave in a few days for the same destination. A letter, dated July 13, says : " By this it would appear that the crisis is at hand. Certainly, the arrival of the steamer Devastation, with Mr. Hood on board, has created a great sensation. Mr. Hood arrived on the 3d. Orders had been received to place 100 men on the lines, to repair the holes and to build up the trenches. "It is evident," says the writer above quoted, " from the conflicting orders issued, that Hood and Rosas were fighting for the mastery." Rivera was reported to have retired to Las Vaccas, as a considerable force had collected in his neighbour hood'to oppose him. A whale boat had just arrived at Monte Video, from Buenos Ayres, with dispatches, but their import hid not transpired. It was stated that Baron Diareuil, the French Minis ter, had arrive 1 at Buenos Ayres, in the steamer St. Juan d'Ulloa, direct from France. FROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES.—From a private letter, addressed to one of our correspondents, dated " Hobart Town, April 20, 1846," by a gentleman resi dent in that colony, we learn that Frost, the leader of the Chartist body at Monmouth, was at that period a clerk or warehouseman in a large grocery establishment. That Williams is still in the police force of the colony, at the same salary as paid to the other constables, one shilling and ninepence per day; he bears the character of being a good officer. Jones was in the police also, but on ac count of his good conduct he was appointed as guard to the mail, and recommended for indulgence; he has since received his ticket of leave, and was living at the date of the letter with a watchmaker at Launceston, at a good salary. It is a remarkable fact that Sergeant Hadley, who filled the post of " principal drill" in the Birming ham police force, under the late Commissioner, is now filling a similar situation in the police force of the above colony under the same gentleman. Hadley, it appears, was transported for embezzlement some time since.— Birmingham Journal, MEXICAN HIGHWAYMEN. Robbers in Mexico are what pedlars used to be in England; they keep up the life in the villages, plunder wherever they can, cheat where they cannot nlunder, ride stout horses, and lead, on the whole, a varied, and some times, a very gay life. One of the American travellers saw, at Old of the villages where the stage changed horses, a dashing and picturesque figure, gaudily dressed, who rode by on a handsome horse ricjily capriSoned. On inquiring if the coachman knew him, the answer was the r t he knew him perfectly well, and that he was the captain of a hand of robbers who had plundered the stage several times since the whip and reins hyi been in his hands. On the American urging the question why he had not brought the robber to punishment, the answer was, a t h at h e wou ld b e sure t o he shop' by some of the band the next time he passed the road,;" the honour of Mexican thieves being peculiarly nice upon this point. It appeared that the daShing horseman had gone through the village on a reconnoissance, but probably not liking the obvious preparations of the travellers, had postponed the capture. The mode of managing things in this samnclent country is remarkable for its tranquillity. The American who narrates the circumstance had taken with him from Vera Cruz four dragoons, but on accidentally inquiring on the road into the state of their arms, he found that but one carabine had a lock in fighting order, and even that one was not loaded; on which ho dismissed the guard, and trusted to his companions, who were all well armed. The Mexican travellers, taking the matter in another way, never carry arms, but prepare a small purse "to be robbed of," of which they are robbed accordingly. A few miles from Perote the road winds round a high hill, and the passengers generally get out and walk. The Americans on this occasion had left their arms in the carriage, but their more prudent chief immedietely ordered them to carry them in their hands, and in the course of the ascent they pounced upon a group of ruffians whom the driver pro nounced to be robbers; and who, but for their arms, would probably have attacked them. In less than a month after this, five or six Americans having left their arms in the stage at this spot, wereattaeked, and stripped of every cent. belonging to the It must be owned that tl daintier-bits—fine advan tages for the gentlemen of the road. The highway be tween Vera Cruz and Mexico is the great conduit of life in this country. Nearly all the commerce goes by that way, and ninety out of every hundred travellers pass by the same route. The chief portion of the road 'is through an absolute desert. It frequently winds up the sides of mountains, and then is bordered by forests of evergreens, forming a capital shelter for the land pirate, the whole being a combination of Hounslow heath and Shooter's-hill on a grand scale, and making highway robbery not merely a showy but a safe specu lation, the gaming table being the chief recruiting office of the whole battalion of Mercury. The statistics of gaming might borrow a chapter from Mexico. The passion for play is public, universal, and unbounded. It is probably even superior to the passion for pulque. Every one plays, and plays for all that he is worth in the world, and often for more. But he has his resource—the road. A man who has lost his last dollar, but who is determined to play on till he dies, lays himself under strong temptations of coveting his neigh bour's goods. The hour when the stages pass is known to every one ; the points of the road where they must go slowly up the hill, are familiar to all highway recol lections. Associates are expeditiously found among the loiterers, who, after their own ruin, sit round the room watching the luck of others. The band is formed in a moment ; they take the road without delay, post them selves in the evergreens, enjoy the finest imaginable prospect, and breathe the most refreshing air, until the creaking of the coach wheels puts them on the alert. They then exhibit their weapons, the passengers produce their little purses, the stage is robbed of everything portable or convertible into cash, the band return to the gaming table, fling out their coin, and play till they are either rich or ruined once more. Some time after an adventure, such as we have de scribed, the stage was robbed near Puebla by a gang, all of whom had the appearance of gentlemen. When the operation of rifling everybody and everything was com pleted, one of the robbers observed, " that they must not be looked on as professional thieves, for they were gentlemen; but having been unfortunate gt play, they were forced to put the company to this inconvenience, for which they requested their particular pardon." An incident of this order eccurring in the instance of a public personage some years before, long excited remarkable interest. The Swiss consul had been assas sinated at noonday. A carriage had driven up to his door, out of which three men came, one in the dress of a priest. On the doors being opened they seized and gagged the porter, rushed into the apartment where the consul was sitting, murdered and robbed him, and then retreated. None knew whence they came or whither they went; but the murdered man in his dying struggle had torn a button off the coat of one of the robbers, which they fonnd still clenched in his band. A soldier was shortly after .seen with more money than he could account for. Suspicion naturally fell upon him; his quarters were searched, and one of his coats was found with the button torn off. He was convicted, but relied on a pardon through the Colonel Yanez, chief aide-de camp of the President Santa Anna, who was his accom plice in the transaction. On being brought out for exe cution, and placed on the fatal bench where criminals are strangl , d, he cried out, "Stop, I will acknowledge c m o y omplonacee l.s l e ic a e r s e c w a a nd sim he me p d r i o a n t o e u ly ncd the m made ein t n h a eh e ou o s f e tlie of Yanez, and a letter in cipher svas found connecting him with this and other robberies. This letter was left in the hands of one of the judges. He was offered a large sum to destroy it, and refused. In a few days after he was found dead, as was supposed, by poison. The paper was then transferred to another judge, who was offered the same bribe, and who promised to destroy it; but on conferring with his priest, though he took the money, he shrank from the actual destruction of the document, and kept it in silence. Yanez was brought to trial, and, believing that the paper was no longer in ex istence, treated the charge with contempt. The paper was produced, and the aide-de-camp was condemned and executed.—Blackwood. FREE TRADE. (From the Journal des D6ats.) The question of free trade is now fairly placed before all the states of Europe, by virtue of the example very recently given by a great nation, where, however, the protective system had the support, generally all powerful, of the aristocracy. An association whose importance none can dissimulate, is taking steps to reproduce amongst us, as well as it can, the efforts of the English League. What is the course necessary to adopt? Is the principle which triumphed in England equally true on this side the straits. D o rea son, propriety, and the decided determination on the part of the Government not to give a shock to the country (by innovations) permit us to hope for the immediate application cif this princi ple to a certain extent in France? Thisis a question which it is desirable to examine with calmness, and we purpose to do so at some length. Free trade presents itself, it is admitted even by its adversari e s, under a bril liant aspect. It would have the inappreciable advantage of assuring the peace of the world, which is the greatest blessing of civilisation, the surest guarantee that can be given for liberty ; it would furnish every one with the means of exercising his industrial faculties, entirely according to his will and to their full extent of procuring every object at the lowest possible rate, and of selling the fruits of his labour in the market which offers the best price for them. From liberality and hu manity one is disposed to love free-trade. On the other side, however, the protective system counts its partisans at the present day, not only amongst those whose for tunes we believe are made by it, but amongst men who are evidently quite disinterested in the discussion. Cer tain great interests declare that the qnestion of the main tenace or the destruction of the protective system is with them a question of life and death. It is even impossible to conceal from ourselves that certain industries, whose great value nom, can contest, have flourished by means of this system, and, thanks to it, have arrived at a great degree of prosperity. We do not hesitate to say that our choice is made. We are advocates for free trade, in the sense that we consider it an object which ought to be attained gradually, and by constantly approaching towards it as far as circumstances will permit. The protective system, interpreted by prohibition, for it is always in that sense that the term is used, may be very favourable to a particular branch of industry, specially protected while in its infancy, but once that a country has taken great strides in a manufacturing career, the system, it will be seen, be comes injurious ; it arrests the progress of the arts which it pretends to protect, and which often believe themselves efficaciously protected ; it opposes the natural order of things, in causing prohibition by way of repri sals against foreign countrie s, and in i m p e di ng b y re strictions and augmentations in the price of the raw ma terial at home, those branches of manufactures in which the country succeeds the best. It gives a bad direction to national capital, and maintains an artificial and bur densome state of things by creating factitious industries which live as in a hot-house, and do not produce results equivalent to the labour they absorb. It institutes and tends to perpetuate inequalities when the law has wished to give to every citizen equ al facilities. Th e grea t majo rity of those who support i t , are led as t ray b y pre j u di ces and by false calculations. 'hey have not correctly esti mated and placed in parallel what it costs and what it produces, not only to the state and to the country, but to themselves. They only see the apparent profits, and deceive themselves as to the charges. The present moment offers, for the organisation o f i nternat i ona l exchanges on a more liberal footing, conditions ex tremely favourable, and which may perhaps never be again found, it not now taken advantage of. ---, EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE or HoNny.—Last week the gardener of James Wintle, Esq., Grey Friars ; in this city, took from.one stock of bees in that gentle man's garden, a comb weighing no less than 851b5.; the net weight of the honey which it yielded was near 601bs —Gloucester Chronicle.

The importance of the salmon fisheries of England and Wales cannot well be overrated ; and it is gratifying to observe the efforts making towards their reformation by the United Association for the Protection of the Fisheries of the River Severn and its Tributaries. At the late (the third) anniversary meeting of the members of that Association, held at the Guildhall, Worcester, a few dap since, J. M. Guteh, Esq., in the chair, the Chairman presented and read a report of the Central Committee, from which the following are extracts : " The prin c ip a l su bj ect w hi ch has occupied the-atten tion of your cp,rurnittce since the last anniversary, has been the reintroduction of, and attempt to carry through Parliament, a Bill to regulate the Salmon Fisheries of England and Wales, which was considered by the Com mittee vitally to concern the interests of the Association. This Bill, although materially altered in detail, was in principle the same which was promoted by the Associa tion in the preceding year. It was introduced into the House of Commons on the 16th of February by Sir T. Winnington, Lord R. Grosvenor, and Mr. (now Sir J. Pakington, Sir T. Winnington taking charge of it. It was to be committed on the 6th of May. In the mean time many alterations were suggested, and objections made, by fishery proprietors, and other persons and associa tions in different parts of the kingdom, most of which the Committee were enabled to comply with, but in order to arrange matters amicably, and to satisfy all parties, as far as your Committee consistently could, without affecting the principle of the Bill, they deputed your chairman, solicitor, and secretary, to attend a meeting in London of parties interested in the measure on the 3Gth of April. The whole of the clauses in the Bill were gone through seriatim, - all parties were appa rently agreed as to the alterations to be made, and the deputation had hoped, from the satisfactory manner in which the meeting terminated, that the Bill would have passed without much opposition; however, in this they were mistaken; there was an objection made by Viscount Clive, that the proviso to clause 8, in favour of Putt fisheries, was not sufficiently protective of private rights, and it was left to his Lordship to prepare a clause in lieu thereof, which he was to forward to Sir Thomas Win nington for insertion in. the Bill in Committee_ This clause was inserted in the Bill by'Sir Thomas Winning ton on its being reprinted, under the impression that your Committee had sanctioned it; but, to the great sur prise of your Committee, on the receipt of the amended Bill, they found a clause which, instead of being altered so as sufficiently to protect private rights, would have had the effect of nullifying, to a very great extent, the prin cipal object of the Bill, inasmuch as it proposed to autho rise by law all practices by owners or occupiers of exclusive fisheries that had been in use for the last 20 years, includ ing every description of m e a ns f or t a ki ng fish, by dams, weirs, putts, putcheons, and other constructions and de vices; whereas it was a most essential object of the Fisheries Bill to regulate, alter, and amend those very practices, as to them the decay of the salmon fisheries of England and Wales are mainly attributable. It was also partial and unjust. It created an invidious distinction between the classes of fishermen, inasmuch as it proposed to pro tect the higher class of fishermen, or owners and occu piers of fisheries in which stationery machinery is used, in every improper practice which had obtained the bad eminence of twenty years' standing, and left the whole some provisions of the Act applicable only to the com mon fisheries, worked by net fishermen, who are in general poor men of small means. This distinction stamped the clause as being manifestly partial in its ap plication, and unjust in regard t o th e p oorer c l ass. Sir Thomas Wennington and your Committee made many other ineffectual efforts to induce his Lordship to with draw the clause ; and eventually your Committee, with very great reluctance, acting under the advice of Sir Thomas Winnington, consented to the withdrawal of the Bill. " From the experience of your Committee in the fate of the Bilis introduced in the two last sessions of Par liament, they are of opinion that this Association is not in itself sufficiently powerful to carry a measure of so much importance as the regulation of the salmon fisheries throughout England and Wales, and that some more powerful agency should be set to work, in order to make a successful attempt to remove the existing abuses. Under these circumstances, and, looking also to the report of the Commissioners on the Irish Fisheries, re cently published (the perusal of which they strongly re commend to all who are interested in the protecti a of salmon fisheries), they are of opinion that the more cer tain way of obtaining a just law on the subject would be by the Association memorialising the Government, through the Board of Trade, to appoint a Commission similar in effect to the Irish Commission. " From the various reports which have been received from the upper and lower portions of the Severn, it ap pears that salmon are more plentiful now than they have been for many years, particularly in the lower part of the river, in the locality of the Putt Fisheries ; in our own immediate neighbourhood also a large proportion of fish have been taken by the Worcester fishermen. When they have been inclined to work, the number taken has been three-fold what it was a few years since. The present price of Severn Salmon in Gloucestershire is 6d. per lb. ; the average price here has been fro m l s . to Is. 6d., whn at the same time Scotch and Irish fish have sold for 6d. and Bd. The high price which the vern salmon caught by our fishermen fetches, must be at tributed to the superior quality of the fish and its par tial supply, and this latter circumstance, coupled with the fact of the men working their nets only when it suits their inclination or convenience, strongly induces your committee to recommend that some plan should be adopted, either by the formation of a company or other wise, whereby to secure a regular fishing, and, as a na tural result, a regular supply of fish. The Committee have hitherto forborne to take any steps which might be considered as opposed to the interests of the Worcester fishermen ; but when they see a whole month pass away, without a single attempt being made to take salmon, at a time when it was known that large quantities are pass ing up the river, as was the case during the past month of August, they think they are bound to take some steps in order to supply the public wants. Among the resolutions adopted at this meeting were the following:— " That from the experience which the Central Com mittee have had in the fate of the Bills introduced in the two last sessions, this meeting is of opinion that the Association is not in itself sufficiently powerful to carry a measure through Parliament of so much importance as the regulation of the salmon fisheries throughont England and Wales, it therefore strongly recommends to the Central Committee to take steps to procure an interview with the Board of Trade, or any other public department, for the purpose of inducing the Govern ment to take such steps by a general Act, or otherwise, as to them may seem best adapted to promote the im provement of the fisheries, and that they solicit the co operation of other associations which have the same object in view, and that a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the Members of the county and city, so liciting their earnest support." FIRE ON A RAILWAY.—OH Saturday last, as a merchandise train was going along the London and North- Western Railway, a piece of ignited coke escaped from the engine when near the Wolverton station, and dropped on the tarpauling covering the truck; from the inflam mable nature of the materials the flames rapidly spread to three other trucks, the contents of which were nearly destroyed before sufficient assistance could be rendered; one of the trucks was laden with a valuable cargo of indigo. It is but justice to state that the London and North-Western Company have taken every precaution in their power to guard against such casualties as the foregoing, by directing the servants in their employ to throw a quantity of water on the covering of the trucks, at short intervals; but from the extensive warmth that has prevailed during the summer, the tarpaulings have been so heated as to ignite upon coming in contact with the smallest portion of fire. SERIOUS ACCIDENT NEAR THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—On Sunday evening, about six o'clock, an accident, attended with serious consequences, happened to a lady and gentleman named Marks, residing at Rod ney-terrace West, Mile-end-road, near the Maryland point-bridge of the Eastern Counties Railway (Colchester line), at Stratford. Mr. and Mrs. Marks had been out for an evening drive, and were returning over the above bridge, when the engine driver of one of the trains " blew off his steam;" and the shrillness of the whistle caused the horse in the chaise to start off at a furious rate. Mr. Marks did all he could to stop the speed of the horse, but without doing it, and on getting to the corner of Well-street, the wheel came in violent contact with the lamp-post at the corner, and both were thrown out of it. They were picked up in a state of insensibility, and carried into the Cart and Horse public-house, where they were attended by Mr. Vallance, surgeon, Stratford. They were subsequently enabled to be removed to their residence in a fly. THE BISHOPRIC OF MANCHESTER.—The death of Dr. Carey, Bishop of St. Asaph, gives rise to the con solidation of the two sees of St. Asaph and Bangor in one see, according to the Act of Parliament of 1836, and the order in council of 1838 ; but needs the consent of the Bishop of Bangor to carry it into effect, otherwise it must remain in state quo until the death of that prelate, when the two sees will become the united see of St. Asaph and Bangor. As the present net annual revenue of the see of Bangor is only 4,4641., and the amount of the revenue of the proposed united see is fixed at 5,2001., we can hardly suppose that Dr. Bethel, the present Bishop of Bangor, will decline the offer of the united see, with an additional revenue of 736/. a year. Assuming that this prelate accepts the united see, then one consequence of that act, as we understand the Order in Council, is the erection of Manchester into a bishopric forthwith. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.--WC regret to have to record a serious accident which occurred on Tuesday week. It appears that Captain Whitmore, paymaster of the pen sioners in the Bristol district, and Lieutenant Maclean, of the recruiting service in this city, were returning from Wells in a gig, when near Pensfoid the horse took fright, starting off at a furious rate. Captain Whitmore jumped out, and succeeded in alighting on his legs, but the shock was so great that it caused concussion of the brain and other injuries, from which his life, we regret to hear, has been in imminent danger. Lieutenant Maclean, with considerable presence of mind, succeeded in climb ing over the splash braid of the gi g , an d, gett i ng on t h e horse's back, pulled it up. Co ns id era bl e sympat h y i s felt for Captain Whitmore, who during his residence at Clifton has attached to himself much public respect. — Bristol Mirror. THE DUKE OF RICHMOND AND HIS SCOTCH TENANTRY. The annual agricultural meeting of the Duke of Richmond's tenantry at Fochabers was held on Tuesday last, at Gordon Castle. The show yard was formed in one of the parks, and was very numerously attended by the yeomen of the surrounding districts. The animals exhibited were of a very superior character. His Grace's stock were objects of much admiration, particularly a short-horned bull, two short-horned cows, and several pairs of highland stots. There was an extensive show of agricultural imple ments, which reflected much credit on the skill and en terprise of the tenantry. The judges having awarded the prizes, which were bestowed by his Grace, they presented a carefully drawn up report as to the condition of the farms, cottages, and turnips entered for competition. In respect to the latter it states that but for the unfortunate blight or mildew with which the turnip crop in the north of Scotland has generally been affected, and which none of the fields under their notice had escaped, they would have proved such crops for weight and substance as they had seldom witnessed. The document thus concludes :—" This being the second occasion on which a majority of us have acted in our present capacity, we may be permitted to state that the premiums offered by the Noble Duke are having the desired effect in creating an emulation among an enterprising and active tenantry, which, coupled with the liberal encouragement otherwise given, cannot fail to place the Gordon estates second to none in the north of Scotland. At three o'clock in the afternoon about 300 of the tenantry sat down to dinner, to which they had been in vited by the noble landlord, under a spacious marquee which had been erected on the castle lawn. His Grace the Duke of Richmond, who was loudly cheered on entering the tent, filled the chair, and near him were observed the Earl of March, Lord Henry Gordon Lennox, M.P.; Mr. Charles Goring, M.P.; Rev. Mr. Cushney, of Fochabers ; Mr. W. Tighe, Mr. Edward Wagstaff, Mr. James Skinner, Mr. Alexander Marquis, and Mr. John Gordon. The several loyal toasts having been given, The CHAIRMAN said, in p ro p os i ng " Th e Memory of the lale Duke-of-Gerdon"-in any company in the north of Scotland, it was not necessary to recall to their re collection the many services the late Duke had per formed, both in the field of battle and at home. The Duke of Gordon was one of the most popular noblemen in the country. He knew him to be an honourable man, and knew also how deeply his death was deplored by the tenantry on his estates.—(Drunk in solemn silence.) Mr. GEDDES, of Orbliston, then rose and begged to propose " The Health of the Duke of Richmond," a toast which he was satisfied would be received with the enthusiasm which it so highly deserved, thereby tes tifying the gratitude of an attached tenantry towards a liberal and kind landlord—a gratitude which existed not in name but in reality.—(Cheers.) They were certainly much indebted to his Grace for the opportunity afforded them that day of meeting together, for the encourage ment offered to the tenantry on his extensive estates, and for the kind and liberal manner in which his Grace had ever acted towards them.—(Loud cheers.) He trusted that he would not be considered as infringing any of the regulations did he refer to the unexampled exertions made by the Noble Duke in his place in Parliament in behalf of the agricul tural interests of the country ; and, although his efforts were unsuccessful, it was not his fault.—(Much cheering.) If, unfortunately, their worst anticipations were realised, and prices fell so much as to prove unremunerating to the farmer, he was confident the Noble Chairman would be the first to meet his tenantry in a fair and liberal manner.—(Cheers.) He then concluded by proposing his Grace's health, and trusted that he might be long spared to reign among them, which was, he (Mr.Geddes) felt confident, the sincere and heartfelt wish of every tenant on his estates.—(The toast was drank in the most enthusiastic manner.) The Duke of Ricrimoten, in returning thanks, assured the company that it was no easy task to endeavour to express to them the feelings of gratitude which warmed his bosom for the kind manner in which they had drunk his health.—(Cheers.) It was only a few years since be came there, comparatively a stranger, but he soon found himself among warm and attached friends.—(Cheers.) He would not now trouble them with any of the arguments on the subject of the corn-law question to which Mr. Geddes had adverted. It was a question of the greatest importance to the prosperity, not only of agriculture, but of the country generally. Ile would not, however, under present circumstances, say that the price of corn might not be kept up for a short time. Foreigners were quite unprepared for the great change. This time last year they had no idea that pro tection would be removed, and that circumstances might, in some measure, keep up the price. The extensive failure in the potato crop in Ireland, and throughout the country, would also tend to the same result, but he felt that it was not possible that with even the geatest energy, the farmers of this country would be able:to . compete with the foreigner who h a d no t axes t o p ay . When he recollected that many now present a fewVears ago came forward and signed leases under the first irn- Rression that the Corn Bill was-to remain entire, but now that through treachery and double-dealing it had 'been abolished, he felt that he, would be incapable of holding up his head among them did he not now tell them that should any of his tenants wish to relinquish their farms, by giving intimation of their intentions to either of his managers, he would at once relieve them of their obligations ; more than that, he would cause an estimate to be made of the unexhausted permanent improvements they had made upon their farms, and re pay them the amount.—(Cheers.) He felt that this was only justice, for who could have thought that Sir R. Peel would have turned the traitor he had become? He should, however, regret parting with any one of his tenantry, many of whom had cultivated the same soil for a very long period, but he could not feel satisfied were they to remain and injure their own prospects or those of their family.—(Cheers.) He hoped that his prophecies of the evil of the measure would not prove correct, but although he had patiently listened to all the arguments which had been advanced in favour of the abolition of protection, his objections to the measure were not re moved. He felt that it was brought forward by the Anti-Corn-law League, and adopted by a Government which bowed, not to argument and conviction, but to a clamour from without, raised by the expenditure of large sums of money.—(Much cheering.) He then closed his address by expressing his gratification in meeting so many of his tenantry on that occasion, and sincerely hoped that Providence would cause their fields to be •fruitful and their homes the abodes of the highest do mestic felicity and comfort. His Grace resumed his seat amidst deafening applause. The health of the Duchess of Richmond, Earl and Countess of March, " the successful and unsuccessful competitors," and other toasts having been drunk, the company at a late hour dispersed. His Grace's piper was in attendance during the evening. WILLS. THE LATE HON. MR. MORRISON, OF CHINA.—It may be fresh in the memory of our readers, that, at a time when most required, this country was deprived (by premature death) of the very valuable services of this young and highly talented and most promising individual, the son of the late eminent Dr. Morrison, of Canton, he being then employed as the British Government correspondent at China, on the termi nation of the late war and in forming the treaty. On the supposition of his having died intestate, his effects were administered to by his sister in July last year, he having died a bachelor and she being his nearest rela tive ; but since that period she has had transmitted to her from Macao the deceased's papers and letters, contained in a chest ; upon examining which she has discovered his last will, entirely in his own handwriting, sealed up, and superscribed, " To be opened only in case of my decease. J. R. Morrison. Macao, 23d December, 1837." The executors appointed therein were Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, Wright, and Matheson, of China, who have renounced, and a new administration, with the will thereto annexed, was granted on the 7th instant, by the Court in London, to his sister, who, with her stepmother, the relict of Dr. Morrison, are the principal legatees. This change of grant entitles them to a remittance in the dif• ference of duty between a will and intestacy. The property in England was estimated at 5,0001. He has directed 1,0001. to be paid to the executors of his late revered father, for books purchased. His Chinese books are to be presented to the London University College. He requests the Rev. Elijah C. Bridgman, of Canton, to select from among his English and European books such as he might deem suitable presents to several members of the testator's family, and also to his friends in China, leaving to him the selection of individuals in China, and to his sister and Mrs. Morrison those in England; the remainder of the books to be sent to the Morrison Education Society, in China. To the Rev. E. C. Bridgman he leaves his celes tial and terrestrial globes and other scientific instru ments, His collection of Chinese and other coins and curiosities he leaves at the disposal of Dr. Alexander Anderson, of Canton, with a request that he will select from them such as he thinks will be acceptable to his sister and Mrs. Morrison. LIEUTENANT- GENERAL GEORGE WULFF, Colonel- Commandant Royal Artillery, who died on the 10th of August last, at the age of 83, has left his estates in cer tain proportions amongsthischildren,bequeathing to each of them specific bequests. To his son, Kenelm C. Wulff, he has left his shares in the Reversionary Interest So ciety, amounting to 1,000/. The personal estate was valued at 9,000/. The residue he directs to be divided into four equal parts, between his sous, Henry P. Wulff, and the Rev. James G. Wulff, vicar of Gwinear, Corn wall, the acting executor, and his daughter, Lady liar dinge, and the children of his late daughter, Mrs. Forster. The Gallant General is succeeded in the appointment of Colonel Commandant by Major-General R. S. Brough. DISTEMPER AMONG CANARIES.—SeveraI of the canary fanciers of this neighbourhood, have lost their most valuable birds during the last ten days by a sort of spasmodic cholera, the symptoms being similar to those observed in the human subject when labouring under that terrible disorder.—Lancaster Guardian. PROLIFIC POTATO.—The Superintendent of the Stockton and Darlington Railway sowed in his garden a single potato, in a h an df u l of guano, and it has pro duced sixty-two good and sound potatoes.—Newcastle Journal. (From the Builder.) The Protestant church being now erected in Alex andria under the superintendence of our countryman, Mr. J. W. Wild, is dedicated to St. Mark, the founder of the primitive church in Egypt, and is memorable as the first edifice for the performance of Divine worship, according to the rites of the Church of England, per mitted to occupy a prominent position in Egypt, and proclaim its purpose boldly. The Protestant chapel at Smyrna is within the walls of the consulate ; that at Constantinople within those of the British embassy, and the new church of Jerusalem is to be attached to the con sular residence, and, like the former, screened from ob servation. It seems that in 1838 the British community at Alex andria, desirous to provide means for the regular per formance of public worship, held a meeting and deter mined on raising a subscription for the erection of . a chapel. In the following year Colonel Campbell, then Consul-General, mentioned to Mehemet Ali, the Viceroy of Egypt, the intention of the residents ; and his High ness, with a liberality that deserves commendation, pre sented to the community a valuable plot of ground on the south side of the Great Square, in the Frank quarter —one of the most prominent positions in the city, sur rounded in part by handsome modern buildings.* The frontage of the ground is 326 feet, the depth 112 feet ; and its present money value is considered little short of 1,0001. The Pasha at the same time expressed a wish that the structure should harmonise with the neighbouring build ings, and be worthy of the English people. This took the Committee by surprise, as they had con templated erecting a very simple structure, and for some time the project remained in abeyance, until at last it seemed probable that the land would be otherwise ap propriated. The necessity, however, for a suitable building became every month more urgent ; the full de velopment of the overland communication, and the in crease of direct steam intercourse with Great Britain, France, Austria, &c., led to a great influx of travellers, and it was seen that the building was required to be of the character indicated by the Pasha.f The object had attained a new importance ; the ground was secured, and fresh efforts made to effect the purpose. In the first instance, plans were obtained from the late Cambridge Camden Society, but these were not considered suitable to th# climate or locality, and could not have been executed satisfactorily by Egyptian operatives. Mr. Wild was then employed to make a design, and seeking to conciliate the opinion of the Arab inhabitants, and to meet the comprehension of the native artificers, produced what is now being executed, , and which, while it agrees in plan and mass with the style of art used by the early church architects, carries out a general sentimentofArabian detaiL The size of the building is considerable. A reference to the plan shows a nave of 70 feet long, and 30 feet wide, and a chancel of 23 foot long ; a. western porch of 20 by 16 feet, a southern porch 20 feet by 16 feet also, and a vestry on the other side of the same size. The whole height of the church will be about fifty feet, and the height of the campanile 100 feet. The latter, how ever, is not considered by the architect a strictly neces sary feature in the design, and will not be carried up until the rest of the building is entirely completed. The foundations have been massively laid for tie whole structure, including the tower and the enclotinre walls, and the main building has advanced to the spring ing of the windows. It is proposed to roof in this por tion, then to add the porches and vestry, and to form the enclosure walls. When the design was first made it was intended to build the walls of rubble stone ; but the entire failure of a large and handsome church, nearly completed by the Roman Catholics in Alexandria, and which has now to be pulled down and rebuilt with other materials, at a great expense, determined the committee to adopt tbe architect's advice, and use square masonry, although of course at a much greater cost. This cost was ftirther increased by the failure of what has heretofore been the Alexandrian quarry, namely, the ruins of the ancient city. The new fortifications have nearly dried up this source, and have raised so much the price of the stone so procured, that it has been found cheaper to import the material from Malts than to buy it on the spot. The walls are four feet in thick ness, and without plastering inside. The ceiling is to be flat, formed into very deep panels by beams of larch wood. Over it there will be a solid construction to prevent the admission of heat from the sun. The west front, we should have said, is handsomely ornamented, and has a large central arch. The - cost of the church is estimated at 6,0001., of which only half has yet been raised; so that assistance is indispensably necessary. The architect says, in a recent communication to the committee, that " its main expense arises from the quantity of materials used, its height and bulk. The ornamental details are easily executed, and not expensive. The constructive forms are simple and economical, if compared either with the columns and entablatures required in the classical, or to the vaulting and tracery required in the Gothic archi tecture." Should the building now be stopped for want of funds, the loss will be serious. After great pains and many struggles with the authorities a body of good workmen has been organised, and the work is going on steadily though slowly, under an able clerk of the works, who has not merely to superintend, but to teach the men; and if the workmen so taught were to be discharged, it would be almost impossible to re-assemble them. Looking at the erection of this church as an object of great importance—destined, perhaps, to effect eventful changes—we do earnestly hope that assistance will be rendered in England. Nor can we doubt it ; for, as the committee remark in a circular issued in Alexandria a short time since :—" While the higher motives of spread ing the truths of the Gospel, and give them an apparent root in a memorable soil, will insure the warm adherence of the public generally, many persons will be moved by the new course of European communications with India, and some by reminiscences of the illustrious origin of Alexandria, and its great fortunes as the metropolis of Egypt under the Greek dynasty of kings—a city in which the first version of the ancient scriptures was executed, and to which tidings of redemption were an nounced by the Evangelist St. Mark. Still a main re liance must be reposed on the exertions and zealous co operation of the wealthier class of the British popula tion in India. There are, perhaps, few of its members who are not likely to benefit at some time by the place of worship now in construction, so that each person is personally interested in its worthy completion." * The Act of Parliament 6 Geo. IV., cap. 8 provides that where British subjects abroad shall raise one half of an amount sufficient for the support among them of a clergyman of the Established Church of England and Ireland, or of the Church of Scotland, the Government, at its discretion, may contribute a like amount to the stipend. In 1840 advantage was taken of that arrangement to create a salary of three hundred pounds per annum ; and as a majority of the sub scribers were members of the Church of England, the Lord Bishop of London was moved to appoint a chaplain, who has now officiated at Alexandria since 1841, in a temporary building little adapted to the purpose. _ _ _ t The, present annual intercourse of British subjects .with Alexandna may be stated as follows, from official informa tion Permanent Protestant residents (1845) .. 107 Travellers in transit, to and from India Crews of merchant shipping 2,067 Crews of steam and other packets (36 arrivals)... 1,516 Tourists and others, about Total .. • 6,050 A CuEmus CIRCUMSTANCE.— 't..)n the forenoon of Monday last, while some boys were watching a pair of swallows feeding their young, behind Charlotte -street, hawk, skimming along the eaves of the houses, suddenly pounced upon the nest and carried away two of the brood. One of the parent birds having witnessed the onslaught, instantly gave utterance to a peculiar cry which, as by the power of incantation, quickly convened a noisy and enraged swarm of comrades from all quar ters, who, with one consent, gave chase to the destroyer, and overtaking him ere he had got half across the Inch, commenced such a desperate attack that he soon gv,v o evident signs of being fairly over-mastered, and, 'ulti mately sought the ground at a short distance &rim the Fishers' Lodge, where he bravely tried his best t o repe l the onsets of his assaulters, but was compelled to relin quish his prey and seek for safety in ingloricius flight. After his departure, which was effected nudger no littl e molestation, the swallows then set about the, conveyance of the young ones to the nest, which, it, is said, they effected in fine style, and seemingly to tie satisfaction of the whole tribe, who gave unmistakee,ole signs of being more than usually pleased on the occasion.—Stratmore Journal. DEATH or LIEUT.- GENERAL OWEN.—Lieutenant- General Robert Owen, one of the oldest as well as one of the most distinguished officers in the British army, ex pired on Friday last, at, his seat near Dublin, at the ad vanced age of 82, no, less than 64 of which were spent in the service of his, country. He entered the army as an infantry officer. in 1782, a somewhat momentous period, and was teen but 18 years of age. His services were of a most , 3istinguished character, though confined to the early wars of the Georgian reign. He took part at the siege of Fort Bownbow, and the captures of the Islands of Adartinique, St. Lucia, and Guadeloupe, in 1794. He, was also present in the different actions when the latter island was attacked by the French sea and land troops in 1795. On his arrival in England he commenced the direction of the movements with regard to the troops doing home duty, and was not, in conse quence, employed in the Peninsular an d ot h er wars t h at followed. On the occasion of a brevet in 1841, he re ceived a lieutenant-generalship, but unfortunately no other honours awaited him. He never received the colonelcy of a regiment, nor was he decorated. CHILD DRorPING.—On Saturday night a fine male child, warmly, but poorly clad, was left in the hall of Mr. Kelly's bookbinding establishment, Water-street, Strand. The constable on duty conveyed it to the union workhouse, where every attention was paid to the found ling, who is not more than a fortnight old. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. A grand fire work gala took place on Monday night at these gardens, when the skill of the pyrotechnic artist was tasked to the utmost fora surpassing display of the powers of" Nature's free daughter," fire. After a few preliminary fiery fountains and burning bouquets, a mimic naumachia, or sea-fight, between a British man-of-war and a piratical schooner, was exhibited. This was followed by the descent of Signor Farinelli in a flaming car, surrounded by fireworks ; the spectacle concluding with the erup tion of Vesuvius, and destruction of Pompeii and Her culaneum. This was excellent, and quite supersedes the necessity of visiting Naples, as we are sure the real affair cannot be half so good. The punishment peculiar to the naval service ef their country, that of being lashed to the rigging hand and foot, was undergone by one of the sailors of the Sar dinian corvette L'Aurora, on her arrival at Woolwich on Friday. The poor fellow remained "'twist earth and heaven," suspended in the fore-shrouds for four or five hours, and appeared, from his writhings and contor tions, to be suffering considerably.
