price, not so much by an acknowledged competition in buying as by a want of preparation in transmitting it. Tice dispatch of a few more ships to and from America will, we hope, abate the pressure of price which has excited so much discontent and dismay; but, as for opening the ports, how would that benefit the Irish con sumer? Let all the wheat now wafted to Western Europe be consigned to Irish dealers free of all duty; lot large marts be held all over Ireland ; what would be the inevitable consequence? Why this—that within ten days after the promulgation of such a license virli,, a t would, by the simple action of trade, be jostled up to a price at least one-third, perhaps two-thirds, above the ability of the Irish to purchase. So that at last' it would find its natural course into the English markets at a price much higher than that at which it may now be introduced at a duty of 4s. To the Irishman, there- fore, the boon would be an idle mockery : it mat tern little to him whether wheat comes in at a duty of 4s, Bs., or nothing at all. While the Englishman, knowing—as far as tn — ay be known—the wants of,,the future, knows also how those wants may be satisfied. Whether the duty of 4s. continue or no, he is elsy as to the next nine months. Duty or no duty, the corn will come in. No artificial uncertainty, no legislative doubt now clogs its transit, and impedes its sale. And as for the duty, there are few people, we suppose, who think much about paying a shilling extra on a three months' consumption. And this is all they now are paying in the shape of tax. Again, as for the speculator, why should we give him the advantage (and it would be to him alone an advantage) of a remission of duty ? lie has already once this autumn turned the markets of con tinental Europe to a good account. Why should he have the tide always at the flow ? If it were a matter of imminent peril—if there were a moral certainty that the crops of the world were so scant that for the next nine months every man, woman, and child throughout England would be put on short fare—we would say at once, " Abrogate the duty." But, according to every authority in the trade, this is not so. Merchants, dealers, and captains of vessels say, that from the far vast and the west there will come food amply sufficient to supply the wants or all Europe ; and there are those who add, that, come what may to the continent, England will not suffer for want of corn. Then it does become a question worthy of reflection, whether it is right to •• got up a cry " for the abrogation of a duty which does nut press upon the English consumer, and in no way affects the Irish starveling. But it is even a more mo mentous and serious question—which no conscientious man can with rapid levity slur over or slight—how far, in obedience to a cry, and in alarm at a new agitation, it is hst, manly, and statesmanlike, to bring Governments into contempt and legislation into ridicule, and to impair the revenue of the country, by the violation of a contract solemnly made between two great parties, and sanctioned by the whole empire. This, at all events, we know—of all people in the world, the Whigs have the most to lose by the neglect, and the most to gain by the observance, of their public engagements. SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF .4. COMMISSION AGENT.— Yeste.rday evening, an inquest was held before Mr. Mills, at the Swan Inn, Fulham, to inquire into the cir cumstances of the death of Henry Benjamin Barker, age d sixty-lour years, late a commission agent in the ironmongery trade, who is supposed to have committed suicide by walking into the Thames from the meadows belonging to the Bishop of London. It appeared, that on Sunday morning last, at about half-past six, deceased was going to cross Putney-bridge from the Middlesex side, but not being able to pay the toll, he was turned back, and it was supposed that he must have gone di rectly through the Bishop's meadows into the water, as his body was discovered floating through Putney-bridge ab.mt an hour afterwards, and was picked up by awater marl, quite dead. He was identified in consequence of certain articles which were found in his pockets. He wss a native of Wolverhampton, and represented several houses in the iron trade in that town. He came to London on the 9th of September last, and not being able to obtain order., he was very much distressed, which probably Was the cause of his committing the deed. As there was no proof before the jury that decease d went into the water voluntarily, the jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned." SIZITIVLAR DISCOVERY OF 'VALUABLE PROPERTY IN THE ROYAL ARSENAL.—A few days since, as a gang of convicts belonging to the convict hulk were employed in loading sand in the Practice Range of the Royal Arsenal, near the " Butt," they discovered concealed in the reeds close to the river a strong oak box. which was found to contain articles of jewellery, wee ring apparel, old coins, spices, and a variety of other articles, but no document that could lead to a discovery of the owner of the property. It appears that instead of communicating the circumstances to the police, one of the keepers, named Gregory, removed the box to his own house, and opened ir, for the purpose, as he alleges, of ascertaining what were its contents. The matter, however, reached the ears of the police of the Royal Arsenal, and the result was an inquiry, when the Cox was handed over to the inspector. A report of the facts was subsequently forwarded to the Secretary of State, and on the follow ing day Gregory resigned his situation.

OPENING THE PORTS. (From ti, e 7 imes ) The agitation which is to he raisial for the purpose of orz pening the ports mak- - s us revert to a Ties tion which we lately put, iz.—ls the ruain,enatae ,t the present duty worth supporting strcngly, or resisting stretiucusy ? The question is a very simple one. It riquires no profin7d cal.4ations, no remote alistr:;c lions. ['sit a small degree of patient reflection and sober thought is required to measure the evil—such as it may be—of the present system, and the be nefit—sitdi as it alight he—attendant on its ileattecioo. 'tie data on which we on lit to proceed are tob rahly familiar til all, being furnished by the dealers in that important article which it is proposed to render more plentiful and cheap. The phenomena which the corn trade has during this autumn exhibited are indeed peculiar and rare. We entered on September with a redundant harvest of wheat, and a prospective decline of prices. Everybody thought that the fatal time was coming when wheat was to be sold for ass. a quarter ; and almost everybody acted MI that supposition. But while there was plenty in England there was dearth abroad ; and the foreigner ha 1 a stronger intimation of the corn ing peril, which escaped the sagacity of the English merchant. The Belgian and the Hollander, and the Frenchman, all laid in stores to supply the deficiency of their own grain harvest. But neither Belgian nor Frenchman seems, any more than the Englishman, to have anticipated the effect upon the grain market which the potato blight must produce. The former were, how ever, more wary than the latter ; though, perhaps, nei ther took precaution enough. For the slight enhance ment of price even at that time offered by the Continental market, the English speculator bartered the rich gains which time and patience would have permitted him to reap in the markets of his own country. Since that period—barely two months ago—prices have been gra dually and incessantly rising —from 48s. to 50s.—from 50s. to 513.—from 51s. to 53s.—from 535. to 54s.—until they have reached 60e. the quarter. This merely in dicates the average price. Particular kinds of wheat are now selling at 70s. This great rise has been effected in the face of a law which, it was prophes sied, would pull down the remuneration of the agri culturist to starvation point. As an illustration of the workings of trade, it is invaluable alike to the opponents and the friends of protection—to confirm the creed of the former no less than console the hopes of the latter. But how does it affect the question of open ing the ports? Only in one way, as we conceive. If it could be shown that duties wore so high as either to en hance considerably the price of food to the consumer, or so variaffte and uncertain as to deter the speculator, then it might be demanded with undeniable justice that the duties should be annulled. It would be a just, a proper, and a humane policy to listen to such a demand; as otherwise it would be impossible to feed the people. But is this the case now? Is it likely to be the case soon? Is it probable that the facility of procuring food will be affected considerably, or even at all, by opening or not opening the ports? In arguing this matter it must be borne in mind that our policy has changed, and that the change has got rid of one enormous evil— uncertainty. It was the uncertainty of trade, added to the uncertainty of production, which constituted the peculiar vice of the old corn-law. When a strong west wind blowing at one season, or a violent east wind at another, would raise or depress duties beyond calculation, men shrank from the penal patriotism of buying food at the risk of bankruptcy. But at present there is nothing of this sort to be dreaded. The duty has reached its nadir, but prices have not reached their zenith. The one will continue stationary, the latter will continue to ascend for some weeks perhaps. Bat their limit, although not definitively known, may be approxi mately conjectured. All the corn that can be supplied either from America or Odessa—at any rate, by far the greatest portion of it—must be supplied before the end of January. This is a known quantity. It may range from 3:000,000 to 5,000,000 quarters ; those who are engaged in the trade say that it cannot exceed that amount. And there is very little doubt of that amount being entered without any alteration in the scale of duty, as prices will at the distance of some weeks have only to retrace the space they had previously traversed. The case is shortly this, according to Mark-lane authority :—prices may continue to rise from 60s. to 70s. for some time, and afterwarCs fall from 70i. 'to 60s. This oscillation must occupy a moderate period—probably two or three months—within which alone almbst all the imports we can expect to re ceive can be landed on our shores, and during which the duty must remain constant. Now, is it worth while to abrogate this duty under such circumstances? Cui &no ? Whom would it benefit? The consumer? How? The extent of his prospective wants is nearly ascertained. The supply is also—as far as human abilities and know ledge go—..known to be thoroughly sufficient. We speak of consumers of wheat. These have no dearth, either present or prospective, to complain of. And for the Irishman, he has no restrictive duty to complain of. The food which he consumes is liable to no duty at all; it has indeed for a short time been raised ab ove it s usua l _ _ THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28 1 184e3.

The intelligence lately received from India has com municated no new fact; they were, however, once more on the eve of great events in:that country, of which, as usual, the Punjaub is to be the theatre. The next campaign (that is the seven months commencing from October) will we doubt not, be fertile in catastrophes which will modify considerably the situation of British India, not only as regards its geographical limits, but also its relations with central Asia. Our readers will doubt less recollect, that according to the treaty of Cossour, the Ist October, 1846, is fixed as the epoch for the evacuation of Lahore by the English army. Sir Henry Hardinge supposed that the interval of six months thus left to Queen Chanda and her Alinister, Lal Singh, would suffice to establish their Government on a solid basis. He was also inclined to think that Gholab Singh would be thenceforth deprived of any interest in the nu merous intrigues which had so long agitated the king dom, and that the Khalsas had been sufficiently chas tised to be disgusted of mutinies. Lal Singh and the Queen, however, with that inexplicable thoughtlessness which has successively ruined all the ephemeral dynas ties of India, instead of thinking of consolidating their Government, have been content to live from day to day, and have only employed the delay accorded them in en joying themselves, and leading a dissolute life. As long as they can breathe in peace under the protection of the English bayonets, their Court has been no less profli gate, and their associates no less frivolous and infamous than before ; nor have their orgies been at all discon tinued, only there has been a little less noise and scandal. Until his advent to the Ministry, Lal Singh was despised ; he was regarded merely as an upstart, without courage and without merit. Now, by violating every usage, and wounding every prejudice of his countrymen, he has suc ceeded in making himself detested, and it seems certain that the mass of the people await but the departure of the last British squadron from Lahore, to rise as one man and murder both the Maharanee and her paramour. Sir Henry Hardinge does not in the least deceive himself on this point. Thus, although he is preparing to fulfil the letter of the treaty, by withdrawing, on the Ist of October, the English division stationed in the Punjaub, he is at the same moment assembling considerable forces at Ferozepore, between the Sutlej and the Bens, in order to be ready to make the best of whatever events may occur at Lahore. The rising of the people against the Maharanee, or Queen Regent, will be the signal for the immediate re-entry into Lahore of the army of occupa tion. This will afterwards be converted into a sub sidiary army, that is, it will be definitively installed in the country, of which it will constitute the sole armed force, absorbing the entire revenue for its pay and sub sistence. The kingdom of Lahore will thus have undergone the common destiny, and will be classed in the same ciao. gory as Oude, Hyderabad, Nagpore, &c., whose political existence is but a vain phantom. By the treaty of Cossour the heritage of Runjit Singh was divided into two dis tinct kingdoms—the plain and the mountain • the delta of the five river s , an d th e wes t ern zone of Cashmere and the Himalaya. Lal Singh governs at Lahore in the name of the young Dhulip Singh, while:Gholab Singh has been recognised-as the independent Sovereign of Jamoo. Gholab Singh, however, has not in return, in his dealings with the Company, displayed the gratitude expected from him; the remains of the Khalsa army has found an asylum with him; they have rallied around his banner, and immoderately increased his battalions. It is also said that the old chief keeps up a very active cor respondence with Akhbar Khan, and with a certain envoy from Persia, charged with a mission of intrigue in Central Asia. Lastly, on being summoned to deliver up or dismantle certain fortresses, Gholab Singh has flatly refused. The result of all this is, that a war may soon be looked for between him and Sir 11. Hardinge. The contest is likely to be of a serious character, and we should not be astonished it it were to be very prolunge,l; its result, however, cannot be for a moment subject to doubt, Gholab Singh will succumb in his turn, and the vic torious English will once again find themselves brought back by the carrent of fatality before the iron gates of the Khyber Pass. Be this as it may, and even sup posing that peace is not disturbed between the Indian Government and the Punjaub, a decided intention is at tributed to the Governor-General of causing the terri tory and city of Moultan to be conceded by Lal Singl, This news, which we believe to be authentic, is of grey importance, and merits the utmost attention from states. men generally. Moultan, in the hands of the English, would become the general entrepot ol commerce between Europe and Asia. Situate in a fertile plain, watered by the Cheuab (the ancient Accasines), which has here a width of 2,000 or 3 000 feet, and already counting a po pulation of 60,000 souls—this city, by the mercantile spirit and industry of its inhabitants, and above all, by its position, analogous to, and as well adapted for commerce as that of Calcutta, is destined to become the capital of Western India. The day on which the British flag shall be planted on its walls will open a new era of greatness and prosperity for British supremacy ie India SUBSIDENCE ON THE IPSWICH AND BURY RAILWAY, —Our readers are already aware that considerable diffi culty has been found in forming a necessary embankment near Stowmarkct, owing to the whole miss of earth re• pcaledly su b s idi ng .

Mills, deputy curoner fur Middlesex, concluded au inquiry. which was opened on Tuesday last, in the large room of the Gloucester Arms Tavern, Gloucester-road, Kensing ton, into the circumstances a' tending the death of Henry. Shepherd, an infant child, fifteen weeks old, whose death it was alleged, had been caused by a powder, in tended for the mother, having b,,en improperly adult ni:tered to the deceased child, while the family were casual inmates of the workhouse of the parish of St. Hary Abbotts, Kensington. After a lengthened inves tigation, the jury returned the following verdict : •` The jury are unanimously of opinion that the de ceased child, Elizabeth Shepherd, died in convulsions, occasioned by the administration of a narcotic powder by mistake, and they recommend that the parochial authorities be requested to appoint competent persons to receive and administer the medicines sent to the work house by the parish surgeon, and that he be requested to write the directions on the medicines in a more legible manner." THE FRATRICIDE AT STEEPLE CLATDON.-011 ,he 15th instant an inquiry was commenced at the School-room, Steep!e Claydon, before Mr. J. W, Cowley, one of the Coroners for the county of Bucks, and a rospectahle jury, into the circumstances attend ing the death of Thomas Shirley, who, it was alleged, had died from injuries received in a pugilistic en counter with his brother, Joseph Shirley. The in quiry was twice adjourned, and did not terminate till Friday last, the 23d instant. It appeared from the evidence adduced that, on the night of Thursday, the 14th instant, the d, ceased and his brother Joseph were, with other perscns, drinking until a late hour at tho Milk Pail public-house in the village of Steeple Claydon. A quarrel occurred between the two brothers, and they went to the parish pound, where a fight took place be tween them at 2 o'clock in the morning. Both the men appear to have been intoxicated ; but tho deceased was admitted to be in a much worse state than his brother. After between 40 and 50 rounds had been fought, Thomas Shirley became insensible, and was carried to his father's house in the village, where he expired in a very short time. Mr. Denne, surgeon of Buckingham, and Mr. Cowley, surgeon, of Winslow, who has made a post marten examination of the body of the deceased, were of oiinion that death was occasioned by blows or a fall. The jury returned a verdict of man slaughter against Joseph Shirley, as principal, and against John Patighourne and Richard Cross, who acted as seconds to the combatants, as accessories. Shirley, Pangbourne, and Cross, who were in custody, were ac cordingly committed to Aylesbury gaol on the coroner's warrant for trial at the next assizes. CEN l'i.,..AL CRI .‘ , Il NAL COURT. OLD CO til 2 . ri' The stewards fr - om the different Inns of Court were called to prove that there was no barrister named Strathern belonging to either of them, and it was clearly shown that the statements of the prisoner were all false, and were merely made for the purpose of deceiving the pros 4 eutor, and d e f rau di ng her of her money. The prisoner, in his defence, made a long rambling statement, and asserted that the prosecutrix had been laid hold of by some people at Nottingham, who called themselves spiritual illuminati, and who were in the habit of making use of a glass, and pretended magic, and had led the prosecutrix by these means to believe that she was entitled to large property, and it was them who had induced her to dispose of her annuity, and not him. He denied having made any representation that he had employed a barrister, and asserted that he had not received any money from the prosecutrix except to pay his expenses when he was making inquiries for her in London. The Recorder having summed up, the jury immedi ately returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE, on passing sentence, told the pri soner that he had been convicted of a very bad offence. It had been proved that he had imposed upon a weak and credulous woman in the belief that she was to come into the possession of large property, and by that means 'tad defrauded her of a considerable sum of money ; and, besides this, had induced her to make away with the little income she and-her children mainly depended on for subsistence. Ile considered it a very bad case, and there fore felt it his duty to inflict the full measure of punish ment fixed by the statute fur offences of this description, which was, that he b e transported for seven years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. A R LBO R 0 LIG STR E ET. Jeremiah Harrington and Mary Harrington were charged with having nearly killed police-constable Fitch, F 111. The constable said, on Tuesday last he was called on ,o take the male prisoner into custody for an assault. He proceeded to do his duty, when he was resisted by the prisoner, who got into his house in Dudley -court, a place wholly inhabited by the lower order of Irish ; and here, a mob having collected, he was dragged into the house by, the prisoner, forced up stairs, and then thrown down. The prisoner commenced kicking and beating him in a ferocious manner, assisted by-a number of women, and then threw himself on him with his knees on his chest, until he (complainant) became nearly insen sible. The wife ran to the fire, and brought her hus band a saucepan full of scalding water, telling him to throw it over the —. The male prisoner actually poured the scalding fluid down his h ea d an d nec k, an d .called him severely. Complainant lost his stock and his staff during the attack. He was rescued by other constables, who found him in a state of insensibility. Mr. LONG sent the defendants for trial at the sessions. LAMBETH.

Mr. Wright, being sworn, said that while he was out of town a parcel had been left at his house by the pri soner. The parcel was made up in brown paper, with a note on the outside addressed to Mr. Jack son, and the prisoner said it would be called for. The paper became tern, so that he saw that the parcel con sisted of gloves ; but he had ne ver ta k en any gloves fromit,no that r hadfort night the h e gloves ever offered r e een stolen unt il a suspicionbeen any for sa l e .

In saying this he• did not mention the parcel of gloves ; but h e (Mr. Wright), believing he meant the parcel he had kft himself, sent for Mr. Inspect or H ayes, and gave him up the parcel. The text day, two persons called at his house, and said they ha 1 called for the parcel that had been left there by Mr. Galloway; but he told them they had celled too late, as he had given it up' to Mr. Haynes. Ile did not think it necessary to give these persons into custody. And though he had told them he had given the parct..l up to Mr. Inspector Haynes, he had it in his possession at that time. Ile did not know either of the persons who had called fur the parcel. Since the last examination witness had ac companied the officer to Brentford, to serve a summons upon a Mr. Gunning there to app ear anti give evidence. Gunning told him that Galloway had actually offered him the gloves for sale before he took them to his (Mr. Wright'.) house. Mr. George Gunning was next called, end deposed that he had formerly resided in the Wale ortle road, with his brother, and was at present a draper in High-street, Brentford, but knew nothing whatever about the gloves in question. When he lived in the Walworth-road he used to frequent the house of Mr. Wright, and was also well acquainted with the prisoner Galloway. Did not tell Mr. Wright that the prisoner had offered him any gloves `Or sale. Mr. Mohler to Mr. Wright—Was there any person present when this person culled es a witness had the conversation with yeti, and mentioned about the prisoner of him the gloves for sale?

Mrs. Mary Woodhouse deposed that she resided at Nottingham, and was a widow with five children. At her husband's death she was left with an annuity of thirty pounds a year to support herself and family. She had reason to believe that she was entitled to some property at Nottingham that had belonged to a per.on named Stokes, and in June, 1845, the prisoner was introduced to her as being likely to assist her in making out her claim. From this time she continually gave him money, and he represented that he was in com munication with Mr. Fitzg era ld Strathern, a barrister in Lincoln's Inn-fields, who, he said, was carrying her case through the Court, and he repeatedly showed her letters purprting to be written by that gentleman detailing the progress of the suit. Upen one occasion he stated that the barrister wanted 20/. to take the matter into the Court of Chancery, and she gave him that sum. He was continually asking her for money, and On h er telling him that she had a difficulty in borrowing it from her friends, the pri soner told her that she had got an annuity end she ought to sell that, and not be beholden to any one for the money that was necessary to recover her fortune. In one of the letters the prisoner showed her, the barrister appeared to give a description of the prop er t y , and represented that there were 500,0001. in the funds, besides estates ; and after this she consented to sell her annuity, and nearly the whole of the proceeds went into the hands of the prisoner, in order to assist in the prosecution of the pre tended suit. At length, she said, a letter was received from the barrister, in which it was stated that the whole matter was settled, and she would immediately come into possession of her property, but that 501. were required to expedite the proceedings, and this sum she also gave the prisoner ; and it was arranged that they were to go up to London the next day, and have the sum of 490,000/., which was said to be in the funds, transferred to her nanic—(A laugh.)

CHARLES OGLE, Admiral. " To the respective Captains, Commanders, &;(2." The following order, issued yesterday, is to a far more beneficial eff-et than the above, and one which has been, very naturally, anxiously looked for since the investiga tion by courts of inquiry and martial into the cause of the death of Edward Redpath in a coal hunker:— " St. Vincent, in Portsmouth Harbour, Oct. 26. " The report of an inquiry into the circumstances at tending the death of a seaman of her M a j es t y ' s s hi p Retribution having brought to the knowledge of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that punishment of confinement in the bunkers (at:d a hich in the above instance has been attended with loss c,f life) exists on board some of tier Majesty's steam-vessels, their Lord ships issue their most possitive orders that on no account shall such punishment be inflicted in the fleet; and their Lordships take this occasion to call the attention of the officers in command of her Majesty's steam-vessels to the necessity of a frequent and careful inspection of the coal bunkers, more particularly when under steam, and if the pressure of carbonic acid gas be detected, that immediate measures be adopted to insure a due ventila tion, and for the introduction of pure air. " CHARLES OGLE, Admiral. "To the respective Captains, Commanders, &c." Shell practice from the Excellent at the Leviathan hulk (74), moored at 2,400 yards range, was resumed this morning. We gave the practice on Friday week (the first day's fire), which exhibited but a beggarly amount of proficiency in the art of naval gunnery, only one shell out of twenty-two fired having struck the hulk, and that one so feebly as not to explode. This caused the "Mysterious" committee alluded to upon the occasion to turn their thoughts to the cause of such a signal failure, and having put their heads together, they thought ;they had found out their philosopher's stone in the shape of a chemical agent, which they fancied would insure success in their missiles. The new agent was accordingly tried to-day. The following is the result:— FORENOON PRACTICE. No. 1 fell nowhere. Nos. 2,3, 4, fell very short; close in flight. Nos. 5,6, 7, fell very short. No. 8, I think, hit. No. 9 hit and burst. No. 10 missed. and did not burst. Nos. 11, 12, 13, fell short, and did not burst. No. 14 struck and burst. No. 15 burst in the water, at the head of the hulk, before striking. Nos. 16 and 17 missed, and did not burst. Total fired, 17; out of which number only two, say three—giving the Excellent the benefit of the doubtful one—struck the hulk. The rest_ either fell short or missed the hulk and did not explode, with the exception of No. 15. We forbear comment. The afternoon practice we shall give, perhaps, to morrow. Since the above was written the following extraordi nary fact has come to our knowledge. It would appear the ill success at'endant upon the first attempt to hit the hulk at so long (?) a range as 2,400 yards has roused the " mysterious" committee to endeavour to accomplish that grand desideratum by other means than the usual ones of firing from the decks of the Excellent. They have, accordingly, adopted the following novel, but not over creditable, " dodge," to accomplish their object:— A dockyard lump has been moored within a few hundred yards of the hulk, on which is mounted one of the shell guns! This vessel, being enabled to choose her distance, offers an opportunity to those on board in charge of her gun to throw shells on board the hulk occasionally; and, in order that there may be no mistake abut striking the mark, the lump is grounded before the firing commences. The Penelope steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, pro gresses slowly in her fittings for sea, owing to the diffi culty in getting men to enter for her. First Lieutenant Hall, 1 Marine serge, A r ti a l l n e t r c and p d oral, 1 fi a f n e d r l a 4 n d g u e ll p rs ri o v f a t t e h s e Roy of al Patent Marine Corps, embarked in her for service this morning. Notwithstanding the persevering attempts which have been made to prejudice this vessl in the eyes of naval men and the public, it is asserted by her late master, Mr. Salmond, the oldest and most expes rienced steam-master in the fleet, that there is not a more efiLient steam-vessel for all purposes in the world; and, certainly, a vessel that will run upwards of 200 miles in any available weather upon 20 tons of coals, and carry her armament and stores c (pally well in a comfortable and servic, able state, cannot be so valueless as to be fit only for a coal depot, us has been st ited. Her having been beaten in a trial of speed on the coast of Africa by a French vessel of in'erior horse power, was made to ap pear at the time more discreditable titan the facts (which are in our possession) really were. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, is fitting in the basin with much dispatch. She has topmasts kidded, has tried all her spare spars, and will cross lower yards to-morrow. She was only commissioned this day week, without even a cross tree over her lower mast-head She has only ab ,ut 100 working men; but it will be peic„ived by the progress made that they, as well as their offi !ers, are all of the right sort. We regret to state that Captain Lushington is very unwell. The Dauntless, steam-frigate, built after the design of Mr. John Fincham, the talented master shipwright of this dock, is cradled, and nearly ready for launching. The papers, however, which have announced her pro bable debut on or about the 9th proximo are in error, as the tides will then be neaped. If she is not launched by the sth she must wait until the 19. h. The Naiad coal depot was masted yesterday. The Mercury tender returned from Sheerness last night at sunset. The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain W. F. Lapidge, arrived yesterday morning from Southampton, whither she had towed the Ripon. The Netley tender sailed for Plymouth on Sunday evening. The Sylvia tender, Lieut. Warren, was docked on Sa turday, and undoeked yesterday. The Goodwill lighter arrived yesterday with stores from Plymouth.

GABRIEL, RN." BURGLARY. A dat.ing burglary in the open dayligl. t %VAS committed on Sunday week at Gatconabe Rectory, the residence of the Rev. Dr. Thompson, during his absence at Gatcumbe Church, where he was performing Milne service. It ap pears to have been the custom in the family for one of the servants to remain in the house whilst the others al nt to church, and on this occasion it happened to be the foot man's turn to stay at home, where he remaint. d until, at the termination of the service, the old clerk of the parish, Mr. Hookey returned for the purpose of depositing his master's surplice and the keys of the church, the doetot having gone to pay an afternoon visit to his schools. The clerk, hearing some person in the house veryearnestly in treating assistance, obeyed the injunction, and found the footman bound hand and foot to the chair, with a table cloth thrown over his head. The ropes were soon cut and he was released; upon which he related that, whilst sitting in the pantry, he thought he heard the cat in the doctor's room. On going out to see he met a man coming out of one of the apartments with a pistol in his hand ; that he (the footman) retreated back to the pantry, preserving sufficient presence of mind at the time to secure his own property, by flinging his watch under the dresser shelves, and where he procured a loaded g un, and advancing to meet the robber, discharged thegun at him, but the contents un fortunately went in another direction, and the charge was lodged in th* stairs (which are shattered) ; that tl e robber then discharged hi.; pistol in the footman's face ; but his aim, it appeared, was also very wide of the mark, as he escaped. The uproar produced a second depredator from another apartment, who pur sued him into the pantry, where one of the gang kept guard, whilst the other proceeded to search for a rope, with which they bound the footman in the manner already described. He then stated that they picked his pocket of Bs. or Ios., but that on his declaring it was all that he was possessed of, they generously replaced half-a crown again in his pocket, " for luck." On examining the house, it was found that the doctor's bureau had been forcibly broken open, and a considerable amount of cash taken there from, and that the housekeeper's bedroom had been entered, and from her box a large sum of money and securities, to the amount of about 90/., abstracted. Not an article of plate was missing, although many very valuable articles lay within reach. They were described as being young men, about the middle size, and dressed in dark clothes, like sailors, one of them wearing a cloth cap, and the other wearing a painted hat, having red hair and whiskers. HAMBURGH MAIL. BERLIN, OCT. 19.—Though great sensation was caused here by the resolution of the town of Naumburg, on the Saale, to refuse to elect a deputy to the Provincial Assembly, yet greater surpris3 has been excited by the fact, that within these few days four cr five other towns in the province of Saxony, among which Zeitz, Weis senfils, and even Magdebourg, have taken similar reso lutions, or at least, have it in contemplation to take this matter into their serious consideration. Another piece of news, which is the subject of consideration in the learned world, is that several Governments of the German States have followed the example of the Grand Duchy of Baden, to abolish the censorship of the press in the several states, and to introduce instead a general legislation for the press in all Germany. As a principal motive for this measure, it is alleged that it is a great inconvenience that works which have been submitt to the Provincial Censor, and have received his imprimatur, are afterwards prohibited or confiscated. This circum stance has lately excited great attention on account of the seizure of two works relating to religious subjects, one of which is entitled, " The real nature of the pre sent religious Reformation ;" the other is called " The relation of the friends of light to the Protestant Church." The prohibition is the more regretted because these works relate to the answers of the most important ques tions of the day, and are both written in a very clear style. SCIINEIDEMMIL, OCT. 13. On the 27th of last month the Christain Catholic Community of this place met to deliberate on the subject of Divine worship, and resolved that Pastor Czerski, at the consecration of the church F and afterwards, shall lay aside both the alb and cope, ; and wear only the surplice and the gown, and also to omit all ceremonies which approach the Romish forms, and introduce a purely Christian worship. All this Mr. Czerski has promised to abide by. His congregation can no longer be isolated, unless the intrigues of an elder, who has great influence over Czerski, should succeed in defeating the intentions of the congregation. POSEN, OCT. 10.—In consequence of the late con spiracy of the Polish nobility, the use of the language in the Roman Catholic Gymnasia of our province, is re stricted, according to a Ministerial rescript, which has been put in force since Michaelmas. The German language is to be employed in teaching in the Gymnasia of Trzemesznound Ostronow, in the fourth class, whereas formerly it commenced in the second. COPENHAGEN, OCT. 1 9. — (Circular of the Royal Danish Chancery of Oct. 15, to all the Royal boards and magistrates in Denmark).—"ln consequence of the request and desire of her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Denmark, Caroline Charlotte Mariana, bora Princess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, on ac count of the indisposition with which she has been afflicted for many years, and her shat tered state of health, and after his Royal Highness the Crown Prince, though most reluctantly, has acceded to this request, his Mpjesty the King, though with the most heartfelt sorrow, has Leen pleased, on the 30th of September, entirely to dissolve the marriage con tracted on the 10th of June, 1841, between his Royal Highness the Crown Prince Frederick Charles Chris tian and her Highness the Duchess Caroline Charlotte Mariana of Mecklenburg Strelitz." HAMBURG, OCT. 23.—The Weser Gazelte says, you already know that Prince Woronzow has resigned the chief command of the Russian army in the Caucasus, and has been appointed Russian ambassador at Vienna. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 7. His Royal Highness Prince Quitpold, of Bavaria, arrived here in the-Aus trian steam-boat, Ferdinand 1., from Galacz, and with his suite alighted at the palace of Count Sturmer, the Imperirial Tnternuncio. 1 ESTH, OCT. 16.—We ragret to state that the hopes which were entertained yesterday and the day before. of the health of the Archduke Palatine, have been an• nihilated. The accounts received to-day are most un favourahle, as appears from the annexed bulletin which has just been received :—" The expected continuance of the; amendment announced yesterday did not take place, hence his Imperial Highness by no means gains strength, and suffered much, especially in the afternoon and even ing. In the former part of the night his sleep was much interrupted!by various sufferings, and the august patie nt felt himself much weaker. After midnight he was more composed—his pain drcreased, and towards morning he had some very broken sleep. This morning (the 1641) his Imperial Highness's sufferings are somewhat alle viated."—Ofen, Oct. 16, /Vine in the Morning. FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE RIVER —Yesterday an n inquisition was taken before-Mr. Willi am B aker, Co. roner, a at the Waterman's Arms, Ferry-road, Pop'ar, on the body of Benjamin Naylor, a carpenter, aged fifty six years. It appeared from the evidence that th e de ceased resid,d in the above house, and was a single man. On Sunday night last he and a man named Francis Ray, mate of a sailing barge called the Wheatsheaf, were drinking in the Anchor and Hope public-ht•use, in the Ferry-road. Ray was the worse for liquor, and the de ceased endeavoured to persuade, him to go on board his vessel, which was lying in the river off Millwall. Th. deceased left Ray in the public-house for the purpose of hailing the Wheatsheaf fur a boat, and it is supposed lit got too near the edge of the wharf and fell between the lighter mo,,red off Hammond's Wharf and the shore. He remained jammed in this place until the tide flowed. and was drowned. His body was found on the following day near the same spot. The jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned." TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT lIOXTON.—Two LIVES Losr.—Yesterday afternoon a most lamentable occur rence, by which two poor men lost their lives, took place in Britannia-row, immediately opposite the Hoxton New Church, and but a few houses distant from the police-station of the N division. Four houses had lately been pulled down, and the materials cleared away, and preparations were making for the erection of houses of a superior class upon the site, fur the foundations of which the ground had been dug to a considerable depth, and labourers were employed in excavating under the street for the formation of cellars, when about one o'clock yesterday afternoon the whole mass of earth leg in upon those who were so employed. Several men narrowly escaped destruction, but two labouring men were completely buried. This having been ascertained, a number of labourers were immediately set to dig them out, a work of great difficulty, in consequence of the tough clayey nature of the soil, and after nearly three hours labour, one of the poor fellows was got out, but apparently lifeless. The body was, however, conveyed to the neighbouring police-station in Robert-street, where every preparation had already been made, and under the direction of Mr. Coward, the police surgeon, assisted by many other professional gentlemen, various means for restoring animation were tried, but unhappily without effect. The deceased, whose name was James Haynes, has left a widow and four children destitute. At six o'clock last night his fellow-sufferer, Lamed Wil liam Lockhart, was dug out quite dead. PREACHING TO THE DEAF AND may not be generally known to the metropolitan public, that there has been for some time past a chapel in Red Lion-square, in which public worship is performed twice every Sunday for the sole benefit of the deaf and dumb. The service is that of the Church of England, singing, and the music of the organ being; as a matter of course, omitted. The experiment of com municating to those unfortunate persons deprived of hearing and the powi r of speech, a knowledge of the great truths of revelation by means of those " signs' which constitute a language in themselves, have been eminently successful. In the rnornieg the chapel in Red Lion-square is attended by from twenty to thirty deaf and dumb persons. Last Sunday evening the au dience consisted of seventeen. After the usual prayers had been gone through, the teacher commented at con siderable length, by means of gestures, on the 11th chapter of the Ist of Samuel, his audience seeming to comprehend every idea which he sought to convey. The services lasted for upwards of an hour and a quarter, THE GREAT BRITAIN. --a— (From'the Belfist Northern Whig of Saturday.) We are ena bl e d b y the kindness of Mr. Gabriel, lt. N ., to giv e th e annexed account of the state of the Great Britain up t i ll noon public am! aware, is the g e ntleman who carried off the Gorgo n steam-frigate, when she got high whore. In a former l etter tou s he expressed his confidence in b e i ng yesterday. The writer, U 4 the able to do the same by the Great Britain, it the orpor tunity of d o i ng so were anrded to him; and he now reiterates his conviction, gating that two or three weeks would serve for that purpose. The following is his letter : "TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN WHIG. " Dundrutn, Thursday Evening. Ir,- TI is ill-fated steam-ship, Great Britain, has had some very severe wather to contend with during the last three days. Yesterday it blew a strong l veering from W. to S., accomp a nied with heavy rain. At high Water, ater, it appe a rs, th e ship was struck with three or four heavy seas, which have moved her stern from ten to fifteen feet further in shore, and lifted her over the rock which was under her starb and She has . suffered no damage further than a l arge dint or bilg e on h er l ar b oa rd side. No other vessel in the wont could have stood this weather but herself. She is still perfectly upright, and reflects the highest credit for her stability on her constructors. It is very plain that withal she cannot stand through the winter, subject to the heavy gales that attend the spring tides on this coast at that season of the year. It is proposed to erect a floating breakwater astern of her. This cer tainly may tend to her security, but I fear the holding ground is not to be trusted. " I still persist in saying that if I meet with duo sup port from the directors this noble vessel can be saved; and, in my opinion, the longer she remains upon the sands the greater the doubt will be with respect to ht r salvation. It is quite evident she must have floated abaft, or she could never have been hove over the bank of sand that had accumulated on her lee or starboard side. Her stores that were landed last week, are, with the exception of the bonded stores, all embarked for Liverpool. " There have been in many of the London journals, and other periodicals, several .animadversions passed upon the Great Britain's having been placed as she is, tending, in no slight degree, to raise public excitement. It is well for those parties who pass their anonymous opinions up in such an occasion that they can do so with. out seeing blue water, or leaving their firesides. The captain of the Great Britain is a well-known seaman and navigator. It thetefure reflects but little credit upon an y parties (ignorant as they are of the particulars of the case) making any allusion upon that officer's conduct. "In conclusion,•l bog to state, through your valuable journal, that I am fully prepared, if supported by those interested, to pl ace t h e Great Britain once more afloat, and that within a space of from one to twenty-one days. Frid Noon. " During th e w h o l e of yesterday it" ay blew a fresh gale from the N.N.W., accompanied with heavy showers of rain. The Great B r i ta i n retains the same position she took on Wednesd a y' s t id e, and in which she will remain until the next springs, unless some exertions are made for her rescue. It is the general opinion here that she will never be - moved off her present bed ; but as I can find no person of sufficient knowledge to convince me of the correctness of such opinion, I remain still firm CULVER-WELL, M.P. )1.1:.C.3. by post One and :3ixpenee 1. • ON SINGLE and MARRIED L-11 (An C•tig Historyl C° Analysls ot the Al'fecti3ns—E N Tir E l N ; s (2 : 011,- WORKS by ROBERT All:kipi,tions anti iicalitic;n:liwns ocfftFr3ll,itoetri Al4 tcr , li ,l or Gestation — O n Infertile Unions—lncongruous Alliances—Late NatTe_ag-,;rl, Matches—Curiosities of Twenty-three Years' Medical MY — &C. &c. 2.
