The Patentees beg to call public attenti on to the following facts The advantages resulting from the invention are yarious and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent the com bustion is perfect, an d the brillianc y p r oduced superior to any light hith er to discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, anil rtrn burns steadily for any period ; and such is its p urit y , th at it neither affects ' or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have Made to the introduction of gas in dwellinr-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, k, . these are entirely obviat ed b y the " PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS' ' Butt:mt." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactorie s, and public buildings. Ono of the small burners is amply sufficient to li g ht a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit , oil , o r candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The nitrite of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shown by the annexed , authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERS AL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engi neers,. Tuesday, 26th May, 1546, Sir JOHN RENNIE , Pre sident, in the r. " A. gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of Air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the midile of the burner. The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was hewed, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards In the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, arid trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third." CERTIFICATE. POLTTECFINIC CHEMICAL SCHOOL.—" In testing Clark, McNiell, and Co,'s Universa :Gas Burner with one of the best shawdowless turners, it gave a more pure and brilliant light, with a saving of 20 to 25 per cent." GEORGE CRISP, Engineer, ROUT. LONGEOTTOM, Secretary, CERTIFICATE. " In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niell, and Co.'s Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta blished in economy arid the quality of the light. Tested against argand burn , -rs, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners, Nn, 4, 49 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe rior to any other burner." T. W. KEATES, Consulting Chemist, J. D. PALMER, Mechanical Inspector.

We find the following in the Constitutionnel :—" A friend, travelling in Persia, communicates to us in a letter the following fact, as showing the state of the country. To go from Khorassan to I)aghar, on the road to Teheran, the Aras, the Araxes of the ancients, must be crossed, but as there are neither bridges nor ferry boats, it must be forded at a place called Klisseh, where the river is both deep and broad, and the current variable and uncertain. At this place is posted a detachment of Persian cavalry, whose duties are thus defined. When a traveller arrives with a firman, or passport, from the Government, the officer in command orders one of his men to ride into the river, and if he reaches the opposite bank, the current is considered to be fordable, and the traveller is allowed to cross with his suite. It frequently happens that the soldier is carried away by the current, and is no more seen or heard of, and the officer obliges the traveller to wait till the river becomes lower, and then the experiment is renewed. Although the favour of these trials is granted to none hut personages of dis tinction, they are sufficiently frequent to cost the lives of nearly one-third of the detachment every year." We find the following in the Gazette des Tribu naux. It is a good story, but we know nothing of its authenticity :—" M. Mousseau, a wine dealer from the Yonne, came to Paris on business, and during his stay had given him as curiosities fifteen addresses of M. Fortier, the dyer, which are engraved from a plate so designed as to be close imitations of the notes of the bank of France for 500 f. each. When he had finished all his transactions in Paris, he took a place in the mail coach to return home, but having to visit a customer at Brunoy, he arranged at the coach office for his being e ( e tr e e e s h t o w f a S s e t n o ar pass,t . j t u h s e t t i i taken f up at a certain poi n t b e yond that town, on the hi c of h the the duskn tne the ativ evening, M. Mousseau was at the appointed spot, waiting for the arrival of the coach. Whil e i n t hi s expectation, five men came out of the thi c k et an d deman d e d hi s money or his life. He at once saw that resistance would be in vain, and retaining his presence of mind as well as his co,trage, parleyed with the robbers, told them that they would ruin him, as he had in his pocket-book fifteen bank notes for 500 f. each, which he would imme diately surrender to them if they did not ill treat him. They assured him of their forbearance, and then, at his earnest request, restored to him one , of the notes to expenses the expe , es of his journey. Ibis arrangement was scarcely concluded, when the noise of the coach coming up was heard, and the robbers made off. M. Mousseau got into the mail, rejoicing at the presence of mind which had enabled him thus to cheat the thieves, and save the real cash he had in his pockets."

SERIOUS DISTURBANCES IN YOUGHAL. DUBLIN, SEPT. 23,—The Cork .Reporter of yesterday contains the following : " On Tuesday last a meeting of the tradesmen and labourers of the town of Youghal and its neighbourhood was held at the Market-square, for the purpose of deli berating what steps should be taken in regard to the present distress of the people, at which a slater of the name of Patrick Magrath presided, who addressed the people at some length, and informed them that they were assembled for the purpose of making their distresses known to the Government. They were peaceable, and nothing but the dire necessity they were labouring under could induce them to take that step. " Several other speakers addressed the meeting, who descanted on the sufferings they were enduring ; and resolutions were passed, earnestly but respectfully call ing on the magistrates and gentry to procure employ ment for them under the late Act, and urging them to lay their claims before the Lord Lieutenant with the least possible delay, as their wants were severe and awfully urgent. Also a vote of thanks to the relief committee and town commissioners for the employment they afforded them, and soliciting their co-operation with the authorities on the present occasion. " At the close of the meeting the Rev. Mr. Smiddy addressed the assembled multitude, and having lauded the peaceable manner in which they conducted their proceedings, proceeded to lay before them the measures proposed by the relief committee for the prevention of the evil which they feared was about to afflict them. He dwelt on the necessity of their being patient and peace able, and said that he had no doubt but in a few days the Lord Lieutenant's proclamation would appear ordering the holding of the sessions. " A large number of police and a party of Dragoons were present, but after the meeting separated they left the town. " Nothing having _been_dene since Ulm which tended to give employment to the people, a large number of them congregated in the town at a❑ early hour yester day morning, upon which a meeting of the neighbour ing magistrates was hastily called in the Town-hall, together with several influential gentlemen connected with the town, many of whom exhorted the people, and explained to them that every measure possible under the late Act would be immediately resorted to, and that every exertion which the co-operation of the Leal gentry could use would be made to alleviate the anticipated calamity. Those exhorta tions had the desired effect ior a few hours, and the famishing labourers dispersed ; but about five o'clock in the evening they se-assembled, and commenced an indiscriminate attack on all the bakers' shop, out of which they took the bread before the authorities could interfere. A number of them then proceeded to the drawbridge, and having raised the portcullis to prevent the military from proceeding to Dungarvan. where it was anticipated a similar occurrence would take place to day, they threw the handles into the river. In the course of the evening the cavalry were called out, but they merely paraded the streets, as after breaking into the bakers' shops the town became quite tranquil. The magistrates directed the bakers to make as much bread as possible for the purpose of keeping up a supply, but we understand that they are deterred from doing so, being apprehensive of a fresh attack. Last night the whole country in the neighbourhood was lighted up by fires on the hills, and large detachments of people have stationed themselves at various thoroughfares to prevent the corn being brought into the town. In consequence of those proceedings the magistrates have deemed it ad visable to apply for additional military assistance to preserve the peace, and accordingly an influential mem ber of their body was deputed to wait on Major-General Turner this day, to request a reinforcement of troops for the town and country. A poor man in Youghal, after having eaten a twopenny loaf on yesterday, fainted from the effects of overloading his stomach, and when brought to declared that he had not tasted food for twenty-four hours previously." OUTBREAK IN KILKENNY. There also there have been serious disturbances, whic'i are thus described by the Kilkenny Journal of this day:— " KILKENNY, SEPT. ,22.—Yesterday morning, about half-past six o'clock, a mob, consisting of perhaps about two hundred labourers, headed by two men bearing poles, and accompanied by women and children to the number of about two hundred more, assembled at the . Butter market to apply, as they said, for work. Some of them (be it noted) had already refused to break stones at one shilling per ton, and we have heard of one or two who might have had steady employment elsewhere. No work being there ready for them, they proceeded to the resi dence of the Mayor, clamorous and turbulent. They were met by his worship with his usual firmness, and failing to extort from him a promise of immediate and indiscriminate employment, they proceeded next to the lodgings of Mr. Barnes, C.F.., who has, during Mr. Car ter's absence, the management of affairs under the Board of Works. To their demand for employment Mr. Barnes answered by endeavouring to explain to them the impossibility of his giving it until the presentment ses sions should have sat. He was replied to by murmurs and threats, and the crowd then, saying they would be fed, moved across to Mr. Magrath's bakery, who dis tributcd a quantity of bread to them spontaneously. From Mr. Magrath's they moved down to Mr. Thomas Dunphy's, into whose shop they attempted to break, but were repulsed by the firmness of some of the men in his employ. The Mayor at this moment arrived on the spot, and addressed them in a manner which showed that nothing would be extorted from him, at least by violence; and they passed from thence along High-street and Coalmarket, and then over to John-street, receiving bread at several bakers' shops. The city was, as may be supposed, in a state of considerable alarm for a while; but as promptly as possible the police were under arms, and a strong detachment of military marched through the streets. The appearance of this force instantly dis persed the crowd, who melted away in silence. Now, for the material of which this crowd was composed : we are proud to record that, with the exception of perhaps a dozen idle characters, who hang loose on the skirts of society, they were all strangers, and the Kilkenny men, even in this hour of privation, maintained their accustomed character for peace and order. Nay, more— deeply as we sympathise with the sufferings of the people, of which sympathy our writings and our labours are sufficient evidence, and though we saw with pain that haggard want had left its ghastly traces upon the face of many of the unfortunates whom we saw in the crowd, the ringleaders on the occasion were men evidently un der the influence of liquor, and we noticed one man, in the course of the afternoon, reeling drunk through the streets, who had been most prominent in the outcry el famine in the morning. " As soon as order was restored, the new relief com mittee were assembled in the Tholsol, and proceeded to investigate the claims of all those who really seemed destitute. at which labour they continued the entire day, and passed about 150 applicants, all belonging to the city, and of whom we believe not five were engaged in the disturbance of the morning. Sixty-six were im mediately set to work to break stones, the only labour which could be offered at the moment, since it is scarely possible just now to find merely manual labour for such a multitude as will, doubtless, be enrolled on the relief list. To meet the expenses attendant on giving work to the numbers who require it, it becomes necessary to rescind the allocation of the sums appropriated to the different works on the 14th of August last, which have not been completed; but we trust that, at the Present ment sessions, measures will be taken to ensure their due completion, in connexion with the other works which will then be laid out. We cannot close these remarks without paying the tribute of our praise to the mayor (left as he was, on the occasion, without the assistance of any other magistrate), for the manner in which he discharged the duties of his office." MEASURES OF RELIEF.—LABOUR-RATE ACT. The Lord Lieutenant has issued thirty-two additional proclamations, for extraordinary sessions in sixteen counties. The total number of proclamations issued is now one hundred and fifty-nine. The following letter from the Under-Secretary shows the increasing demand for presentment sessions, owing to the rapid spread of destitution throughout the country.— " Dublin Castle, Sept. 19, 1846. " Gentlemen,—l am commanded by the Lord Lieu tenant to state, in reference to your representation of the distress prevailing in the parish of Aghada, that from the great 'umber of baronies in the county of Cork from which reports of distress have been received, some delay necessarily takes place in bringing the Poor Employ ment Act into operation; but his Excellency will, as soon as possible, direct an extraordinary presentment sessions to be held For the barony of Imokilly. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, ;‘ T. N. REDINGTON. " Rev. Francis Shore and Rev. A. Peyton, Aghada." REPEAL DEPUTY. LIEUTENANTS. The Dubl i n Gazette of last night contains the following:— " The Lord Lieutenant has been pleased to approve of the following gentlemen being re-appointed Deputy- Lieutenants, viz.:— Edmund B. Roche, Esq., for the county of Cork. The Hon. Thomas Ffrench, for the county of Galway. John J. Bodkin, Esq., for the county of Galway.

Thomas Lloyd, Esq., for the county of Limerick, and Robert Dillon Browne, Esq., for the county of Mayo." THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE KING'S COUNTY.—INQUEST ON THE LATE A. P. DOOLIN, ESQ., J.P. We have received a fuller account of the deplorable occurrence near Shinrone. On Monday last, the Hon. Colonel Westenra, M.P. for the King's County, and Mr. A. P. Doolin, J.P., of Derry House, near Shinrone, were out shooting on the lands of the Harrow, near Shara vogue House, the seat of the Hon. Member. In getting over a ditch, the Colonel's foot was caught by a briar, both ends of which were fast in the ground, and having attempted to jump into the next field, the hoop formed by the briar being concealed from observation, his jump was arrested, and he was precipitated with great force to the ground. In the fall, one barrel of a double de tonator which he carried exploded, and the contents of the charge lodged between the shoulders of Mr. Doolin, and penetrated to and shattered his lunge. Two nienof the labouring class, who had been out with these gentlemen as markers, hastened to procure assistance. Bath gentle men were carried to the house of a farmer, on the lands of Harrow—the lamented Mr. Doolin in a dying state, and Colonel Westenra, almost insensible, and unable to move or utter a word. The agonising moans of the expiring gentleman were responded to by the convulsive throbbings of Colonel Westenra, who had becn the innocent cause of the distressing scene in which he formed a part. In that state Dr. Waters and Dr. Arthur found the two friends, who were affectionately attached to each other ; but the skill of those gentle men was of no avail—the injury sustained by Mr. Doolin IN as past the power of man to remove or palliate, and in Ic ss than an hour after the fatal discha'rge of Colonel Westenra's gun, the beloved and lamented Mr. Doolin was released from his sufferings. Immediately after Mr. Doolin had expired, an inquest was held on his remains by Mr. J. Dillin, Coroner, and a respectable jury, to whom the facts of the case were given in evidence. When the inquiry had been con cluded, the jury without a moment's hesitation, returned a verdict of " Accidental death," and exonerated Colonel Westenra from all blame in the deplorable transaction, by which he lost a valued and attached frietg. The bhock which society has sustained lay the me lancholy death of Mr. Doolin will not soon subside. The Coroner who held an inquest on his remains had been speaking to him only three hours before. The poor, to whom he was a generous employer and faithful magis trate, bewail his loss. His afflicted wife and three little children, whom he left in the morning in happiness and peace, never saw his return.

NAV AL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Abo Russian cor vette, Captain Reedueef, sailed from Sni,thead this morn ing for Cronstadt. . Orders were received this morning to commission the Rattlesnake, 26, for surveying service. Captain Owen Stanley took up his commission, and the pendant was hoisted at noon. Her complement ordered is 170, in cluding officers, marines, and boys. The Adventure, naval transport, sailed this morning with stores for Plymouth and Cork. The Plover, 6, Captain Richard Collinson, C. 8., was ordered to-day to proceed to Chatham to be paid off. The Hastings, 72, advance-ship, was brought down from her moorings yesterday, and taken into the basin to-day. She is to be docked as soon as the Naiad coal depot comes out, there being but one dock out of six at this port into which a ship can be taken without dis masting her. A number of artizans from this dockyard have been employed lately on the beach under Osborne-pier, in laying a tramway for her Majesty's bathing machine to run upon. The Andromeda, 44, at Devonport, built at Bombay in 1829, 1,215 tons, after the French President, is about to proceed to Cork as a meal depOt. The Fox, 42, Commodore Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart., sailed from Madras fur Trincomalee on the Ist ult. The Pilot, 16, Commander Wilson, sailed from Madras for Moulmein on the 20th of July. The Sapphire troop-ship, Master Commander Fittock, arrived at Hong-Kong on the 20th of July, from Chusan. The Vulture steam-frigate, Captain M'Dougal, left Hong-Kong on the 2d of July, for Chusan. The Vestal, 26, Captain Talbot, sailed from Hong- Kong on the 20th of July, for Chusan. The Semarang, 26, Captain Sir Edward Belcher, ar rived at Anjeer on the 10th of July from Singapore, and sailed same day for England. Minute guns have been distinctly heard from the direction of Cowes, doubtless on the occasion of the ar rival of the remains of the late Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, the Earl of Yarborough. PORTSMOUTH, SErr.23.—The Plover, 6, surveying vessel, Captain Collinson, C. 8., arrived at Spith ea d thi s afternoon from China and the East Indies, on which station she has been employed since August, 1841, in surveying the China seas, in conjuction with the Young Hebe. The important news brought by the Plover will be found in another place. She was built at Calcutta for a pilot boat, and named the Lady William Bentinck. This is her first appearance in England, and certainly she presents rather an awkward contrast to the Recruit, still at Spithead; but she has, nevertheless, done the State good service. She brings later dates from the Cape, St. Helena, and Ascension than have reached England by any other source. She brought mails. The remaining companies of the 74th Regiment em barked this morning on board the Scourge steam bomb vessel, Commander J. C. Caffin, and that vessel left immediately for Leith. The Bulldog steam-sloop, Commander Davis, having st last got her engines into working order, left this afternoon for Plymouth. . _ The Ajax steam guard-ship was towed up today from Cowes by the Echo steam tug, in charge of Mr. Flynn, master of the Victory. 6 The Fairy, steam tender to the royal yacht, was docked this morning. The Fancy tender, Master-Commander Allen, sailed to Cowes last evening with the Earl of Yarborough and Lady Colchester. SHEERNESS, SEPT. 23.—The Seringapatam, 42, was towed to Woolwi2h on Friday, to be fitted for service as a hulk at that port. The Raven, 3, Lieutenant Stephen, has proceeded from Portsmouth to Yarmouth, to convey the volunteers entered there to this port. The Drake, Goodwill, and Manceuvrer lighters have delivered stores from Portsmouth and Chatham during the past week. The Drake has gone to Chatham, the Manceuvrer to Woolwich.

FETE TO THE INSANE AT THE LUNATIC ASYLUM, DUNDEE.—The sixth anniversary of the settlement of Mrs. Kilgour, the present matron of that institution, was held on Wednesday last. For several days previous the preparationspatients were busily engaged in making for the event. The external gate was splendidly decorated by a triumphal arch, surmounted by a crown, which attracted considerable attention from the passers-by. Other arches were erected at suitable places, and flags hoisted at different parts of the building. Cake and other extras were served at dinner, which was enlivened by speeches and music from the patients. As the after noon was fine, about a hundred sat down to tea on the green sward ; and, after dancing some time, the com pany adjourned to a large hall, which they have agreed shall be called in future the ball room. They there en joyed themselves for some hours in country dances, reels, &c., which were performed in such a manner as would have done credit to any assembly. Several interesting speeches were made during the evening, and a number of excellent songs sung. The instrumental music was performed in capital style by two of the patients. A number of the old servants were invited, and two young ladies and three gentlemen attended to assist in the dancing. The decorum whi c h preva il e d d ur i ng the various entertainments was perfect, and the recollection of it will be fresh for a long time to come in the memory of all who were present. As a proof of its effects on the minds of some of the patients, it may be mentioned. that two of the " depressed" were roused from their lethargy by the stir around them, and that they not only took a hearty interest in the business, b ut d ec l are d next d a y that they felt considerably better i n consequence o f the previous day's excitement. The first patient that was admitted into the asylum was pres en t, an d see med to enjoy the sport with as much relish as the youngest member of the company.—Dundee Courier. CASE OF MR DYCE SOMBRE. —We understand that Drs. Bright and Southey proceeded toDover on Monday, by direction of the Lord Chancellor, for the purpose of examining Mr. Dyce Sombre, and reporting to the Lord Chancellor as to the state of mind of that gentleman. Their report will be presented to the Lord Chancellor next week. His Lordship was induced to order this inquiry on the affidavits of some of the principal medical men of Russia, Belgium and France, and of three emi• nent London practitioners, all of whom *declared their belief that Mr, Dyce Sombre was quite sane. S N, SEPTEMBER 26, 1846. PRICE SD. DEATH OF VISCOUNT TEMPLE- TOWN. We have to announce the demise of the above Noble Viscount, who expired at half past ten o'clock on Mon day morning last, at Castle Upton, county Antrim, 'lreland. We understand that his Lordship on Monday week complained of a slight cold, which continued to increase in virulence, and at length brought on an in flammation which terminated in his demise. The Hon. Lieut.-Colonel George F. Upton was with his noble father at his lamented dissolution, and immediately on the serious nature of his Lordship's illness reaching town, the lion. Lieut.-Colonel Arthur and the lion. Edward John Upton departed for Ireland, and were ex pected to reach Castle Upton asyesterday morning. The lion. H. Montagu Upton, the deceased Lord's eldest son, is absent, off the coast of Scotland, yachting, and is probably not yet acquainted with his father's unlooked. for death. The deceased John Henry Upton, Viscount Temple town, and Lord Templetown, Baron of Templetown, county Antrim, in the peerage of Ireland, was eldest son of the first Baron Templetown, by Elizabeth, third daughter of Mr. Shuckburgh Bongleton, of Poston Court, Herefordshire. He inherited the barony on the death of his father in April, 1785, and in 1806 was created a Viscount. He married, the 7th of October, 1796, Lady Mary Montagu, only daughter of John, fifth Earl of Sandwich, by whom, who died October 4, 1824, he leaves issue four sons and a daughter, namely, the Hon. Henry Montagu, born November 11, 1799 (now Viscount Tern pletown), the lion. Lieutenant-Colonel George Frede rick, and Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur, both in the Coldstream Guards ; and the Hon. Edward John, and the Hon. Mary, marr i e d to M r. J o h n Ed en Spalding. His Lordship was a Fellow of the Society of Arts. The unexpected death of this respected nobleman places the families of the Marquis of Bristol, the Hon. Colonel awl Mrs. Howard, the Hon. Lieutenant-General Upton, Mr. J. and the Hon. Mrs, Singleton, the Earl and Lady Katherine Jermyn, Lord and Lady Alfred Hervey, &c., in mourning. for such ; and we, therefore, respectfully, but most earnestly, entreat you to recommend that one of her Majesty's ships of war should be permanently stationed off the foreign factories, so as to afford us that instant protection which otherwise we must look for in vain. This safe guard is extended to her Majesty's subjects at the other ports opened by the treaty, for at Shanghai, Ningpo, and Amoy vessels of war lie close to the respec • tive consulates, and at Fuhchow as near as the river will admit. The trade of Canton, exceeding in extent that of all the other ports united, should, we submit, not receive less protection, and no aid can arrive from Hong- Kong, or even Whampoa, in time to meet dangers such as those we have just experienced. "We are quite aware, Sir, that in ordinary circum stances foreigners look to the Government of the coun try in which they reside for protection, but we take leave to remind you that, by the treaty of peace concluded by Sir Henry Pottinger, it is enjoined that the British Go vernment shall keep at each of the ports a vessel of war. We have further to observe that it is declared in the pro clamation of his Excellency Sir J. F. Davis, dated the 18th of May last, that the population of Canton is not sufficiently under the control of the local Government to admit of her Majesty's subjects availing themselves of the right of entry to the city of Canton conceded to them under the Emperor's own hands. " Under these circumstances, and until the Chinese Go vernment can control th&r own people and protect us, we have ventured to suggest a measure of which we urgently solicit your recommendation, and which ap pears to us the only one which will be effectual to pre vent the recurrence of scenes so painful to our feelings, so prejudicial to our interests, and so foreign to our habits and pursuits.

They thus charge the death of the Chinamen to the English, without any allusion to other foreigners ; and instead of explaining to the people that the foreign community only acted in their own defence against an unruly mob bent upon the destruction of property and upon plunder, we are thus held up to them as the guilty parties, and as having killed and wounded Chinamen without even pro vocation.

" F. C. M." "TO F. C. MACGREGOR, ESQ,., HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S THE RIOT IN CANTON. CANTON, JULY 18.—One of those serious disturbances which the inefficiency of the Chinese authorities and the strange apathy of our Government suffer to proceed un checked to such alarming extent, occurred here on the evening of the Bth inst. The disgusting state of the thoroughfares in the neighbourhood of the factories, thronged with filthy mendicants, and obstructed in every conceivable manner, has been long a subject of complaint, but no efficient measures have been taken to remedy evils from which serious consequences were evidently, at any moment, likely to result. On the afternoon named an English gentleman got jostled in the crowd, and in making his way through it was struck by a Chinaman. The blow was of course re • turned, and the Chinaman, picking up a large stone, threw it at the foreigner. The latter closed with his antagonist, and seizing him by the tail, dragged him to wards the house of Mr. Church, a part of Mingqua's Hong, from the windows of which the occurrence had been witnessed by some gentlemen, who proceeded to the assistance of their countryman. The culprit was then brought into Mingqua's Hong. A mob soon collected around it, and a furious attack with stones commenced. Information of the state of affairs was given to her Majesty's Consul, and was by him communicated to the Chinese authorities. This was between six and seven o'clock, and about eight the Consul and Vice-Consul arrived ; but there being neither a Chinese nor English force at band, the mob, wholly unchecked, and then greatly increased in num bers, proceeded in their work of destruction. A storm of missiles was kept up on the house into which the offender had been dragged, who, however, in the confu sion, not being very carefully looked after, had con trived to escape. The shower of stones soon shattered the venetians, damaged the window-posts, and began to make an impression on the soft brick-work of which the house is built. More efficient engines of mischief, how ever, were soon found. The door-posts and railings were torn down, and used as battering-rams, until a breach in the walls was made ; and the mob pro ceeded to fire the house, in which in a few minutes more they would doubtless have been successful, when the whole range of factories would probably have been destroyed. Her Majesty's Consul, the American Chargd d'Affaires, and most of the foreigners in Canton, had been waiting with perhaps too exemplary patience the arrival of the Chinese authorities ; but further forbear ance would have been madness, and it was determined on to go to the relief of the houses attacked, and their inmates. The gates were accordingly thrown open, and a strong party of English, Americans, and other foreigners, headed by the British Consul and the American Charge d'Affaires, issued out. The mob was repeatedly warned, but did not disperse, reefing to II little distance, but still keeping tip volleys of stones, until at length shots were fired,*and several Chinese were killed and wounded. This was about nine o'clock, more than two hours after notice of the affray had been sent to the Mandarins, but who were still anxiously looked for in vain. These strong measures cleared away our assailants, who, how ever, only retreated down the avenues leading to the fac tories, and considerable alarm was felt lest our houses should be attacked in the rear, and fired. Our party was then divided, and posted as well as circumstances would admit, and though in several places during the greater part of the night the mob seemed inclined again to attack us, the bold front presented kept them in check. At past ten o'clock the Chinese officers arrived with a large force, at d proceeded to clear the streets, in effect ing which, however, some of their soldiers were roughly handled, and one party came howling to one of our posts for protection. We kept watch all night, but were not further disturbed. The next day a public meeting was held, and very numerously attended, and resolutions were unanimously passed affirming the necessity of a ship-of-war being permanently stationed off the factories, and appointing a standing committee to address our Go vernment on this subject, and to take such other steps as exigencies might demand. Guard was kept again the following night, and it passed over quiety ; things continue now apparently tranquil, and the Chinese guard is being gradually diminished. Reports as to the casualties vary a good deal. The Chinese proclamations speak of three killed and six wounded, but four bodies were counted on the night of the affray, and of four wounded taken to the hospital one died the next day. We hear also that some of the bodies were thrown into the river by order of the Man darins, as the quietest way of getting rid of them. Their conduct throughout the affair has been thoroughly Chinese. They are magnifying the casualties in their correspondence with our Consul, and affect great in dignation at what doubtless they in their hearts rejoice at, for, above all things, they dread such mobs as assem bled the night in question, and received so severe a lesson. In their proclamations to the people, on the other hand, they understate the number killed, and are lavish in their promises of what they call justice. One chop of a very objectionable nature is enclosed. It assumes that the men were killed by the English, and says not a word of the jeopardy in which we were placed by their own most shameful tardiness. Our Consul remon strated against the English being thus singled out on an occasion when the Americans and all foreigners acted together. Our allies, indeed, are personally the only sufferers. A Parsee has his leg broken, and a young German was knocked down by a severe blow on the head, and had a shower of stones upon him. He was confined to his bed for a day or two, but happily has not sustained any serious injury. The merchants, shopkeepers, and all the respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood, are greatly delighted with what was done, for the mob had begun to plunder them, and their danger was as great as ours. Conspi cuous among the plunderers were many members of the Triad Society, occasionally making signals to one another. The members of this society are greatly feared by the Government and people. As well as we can un derstand, they appear to be en organised band of plun derers, though it is said political objects are connected with thel association. It is reported that these black guards intend another attack. We do not feel quite secure, but hope the worst is over, and trust that the very serious affray which has taken place will call the attention of her Majesty's Government to our situation. It is shameful that we should be left to the protection of a Government which requires three hours to collect a force sufficient to disperse a street mob. By the treaty we have a right to station a ship of war here, and indeed are bound to do so; but independent of these paper rights, surely if the Chinese Government cannot protect us, the British Government should; and if the China trade is worth preserving, humanity and common sense alike demand the stationing on the spot an efficient and disciplined force. It was surely wiser to prevent such affrays than to go to war about their consequences; and our trade is not to be sacrificed, nor are our lives to be endangered, for the sake of a nonsensical punctilio. CORRESPONDENCE. "TO FRANCIS C. MACGREGOR, ESQ., HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S CONSUL AT CANTON. _ " CANTON, JULY 10. _ " Sir,—The disturbances of the evening of the Bth inst., of which you were in part a spectator, it is unne cessary to relate. " You are aware that for more than two hours a part of the foreign factories was besieged by a furious mob, who succeeded in battering in the walls of Mr. Church's house, into which combustibles were thrown, evidently with the intention of setting it on fire. " In defence of our lives and property it became ne cessary to have recourse to fire-arms, and many Chinese were killed and wounded; but for these vigorous mea sures it is highly probable that our factories would have been pillaged and burnt, for during all these melancholy events the Chinese officers either neglected to appear, or, if they came at all, it was with so contemptible a force as to be instantly driven back by the populace. In formation of the tumult was conveyed to you before 7 o'clock, and we are aware that an immediate communi cation was addressed by you to the Chinese Govern ment, but it was not until nearly 10 o'clock that an efficient force arrived. We doubt not that the culpable dilatoriness of the Chinese authorities would be complahied of by you without any suggestion from us; but, as we think more de cided measures than any which it can be hoped that they will take are imperatively necessary for our protection, it to our Government we must appeal • CONSUL. " Canton, July 17, 1846. " Dear have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of y ur letter of yesterday, by which I am glad to learn that your attention had already been directed to the objectionable chop referred to in my previous com munication. The committee entertain the hope that your remonstrance with the Chinese authorities will have the effect of causing to be removed from the walls the present offensive chops, and of their being replaced by others embracing a more correct statement of facts. "I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, "A. CAMPBELL." TRANSLATION OF CHOP. " Li, the acting magistrate of the distr!ct of Nanhai, issues these explicit and urgent commands:— "On the Bth instant a wrangling quarrel broke out between the English and the Chinese, and it proceeded to such a degree that three of our people were killed and six wounded. Though the English were certainly in the wrong, yet it is my duty, as magistrate, with a view to prevent lawless men from plundering the houses and shops of our people, to lead out the troops for the ...ppression of disorder, and for the protection and de fence of the place. " The bodies of the dead and of the wounded have been examined, and the several cases duly reported to the superior authorities, instructing the English Consular officers to search out the murderers and punish them ac cording to the laws. " We, the officers of the Chinese, are to our people what parents are to children. If you are wronged and injured, the exercise of justice (in your behalf) shall not be withheld; but there is reason to fear that some of you, seeking to vindicate your cause,' should again by your wrangling assemble the multitudes, and excite quarrelling, so that those who are in the right will find themselves among those who were in the wrong. More over, should the mob once assemble, it will be difficult to prevent vagabonds from improving such an occasion to commit acts of depredation and violence, and the cala mities may extend to your own shops and dwellings; then it would be difficult to discern between the good and the bad, and should you be once seized, you may be stricken by that just indignation which is due to the vagabonds. Crimes ought to be redressed; for, alas! they are not without cause. How much to be deplored would it be, should any of our good and quiet people, by giving momentary vent to anger, and currency to ru mours, involve themselves with the vagabonds, and then be left to suffer as being alike guilty with them. " Right it is, therefore, to issue these commands. Un derstand, ye people of every class; that it behoves you t o await the examination and decision of their Excellen cies the high officers regarding all that has transpired. Each one must keep quiet, in his own sphere, and attend to his own affairs. Do not, on any account, renew the wrangling, and so create new disorders that may lead to grave consequences. - "I, the magistrate, in preserving the local peace, and with a view to the protection of your persons and pro perty, have again and again instructed and admonished you, and you ought to look up and regard the feelings of my heart, yielding obedience without opposition. "Canton, July 11, 1846." AP DREADFUL FIRE AND MELAN CHOLY LOSS OF LIFE AT BRIDPORT. On Monday night last, soon after eleven o'clock, an alarm of fire was raised in South-street, which was found to proceed from Tucker's circulating library and fancy depot. It appeared that the servant girl, who had shortly before retired to rest, was alarmed by the pre sence of smoke in her bed-room, and a strong smell of fire; she immediately rang a bell to alarm her mistress, and called to her, and screamed for assistance, when Mr. Charles T uc k er , d rugg i s t ( son o f Mrs. Tucker at the library, and whose premises communicate internally with it), went to her assistance, and by means of a ladder rescued her from a window at the back of the premises. He then went through his shop to the library, and on attempting to ascend the staircase lead ing to his mother's bed-room, found it giving way, the fire being beneath. He then retreated to the street and placed a ladder against a front bed-room window where she slept, and, on opening it, had a difficulty in enter ing, but, on calling his mother, received no answer, neither could he feel her in 'the bed. On returning to the street he got in at another window ,to an adjoining room, but she was not there. By this time plenty of assistance was at hand, and the bed-room was again entered by Mr. T., who could proceed no further, the landing-place being by this time in flames. The most intense anxiety prevailed for some time, in hope she had escaped, and was in the back garden or in some of the back premises ; but about six o'clock in the morning the melancholy forebodings of the bystanders were realised by the appearance of one of the thigh buses protruiing from the ruins ; and in abOut two hours, after great exertions, a large portion of the remains wevo extrica6d and placed in a shell. Mean while the fire burnt' with great rapidity, and the shop of Mr. C. Tucker was entirely destroyed, with a portion of Mr. J. Gully's, hair-dresser and seedsman, above the latter. Mr. Chick's, spirit merchant, was twice on fire ; and but for the most strenuous exertions would have shared a similar fate. The George Inn, and Mr. R. Ebdon's general grocery and china and glass ware house, were for several hours in the most im minent danger, the stock and furniture from each, with that of some other parties, having been re moved for security to the premises of the neighbours, who lent every assistance in securing a great deal of valuable property. Had the wind been any point from the southward the destruction of property would have been immense. Towards the evening a heavy storm of rain came on, which stayed the further progress of thn fire from the ruins. An inquest was held on the remains of Mrs. Tucker on Wednesday morning, at which no clue could be obtained as to the origin of the fire, and a verdict of a highly respectable jury was-returned of "Accidental Death by fire." Mrs. tucker had been a widow 19 years to a day, and was most deservedly respected for her integrity and assi• duity in business, and her death in this most awful man ner has cast a deep gloom over the town in general. We hear that the parties were fully insured. But for the spirited exertions of Mr. Cornick, Mr. Samson, Mr. Vatter, Mr. Ebdon, and some others, who knew the adjoining premises well, and assisted the fire men in directing the engine-pipe, the whole of the corner of the street on both sides would have been destroyed.

SHIRE.— On Thursday, the freehold estate of Whittlesea, situate in the county of Cambridge, was disposed of by auction by Messrs. Smith, at the Auction Mart. The pro perty comprised the manors of Whittlesea, St. Andrew, of Whittlesea, St. Mary, and of the rectory of Whittlesea, St. Mary, which extended over nearly 25,000 acres, in cluding the fines, quit- rents, royalties, &c. ; also, about 2,100 acres of land, and the freehold, rent-charges, in lieu of tithes, reaching over 19,000 acres, with the perpetual advowson of the vicarage of St. Mary. The whole, which was of the value of nearly 6,800/. per annum, was then put up in one lot, and was bought in at 169,000/. It was then put up in three lots. The first lot comprised the freehold rent-charges of about 17,000 acres, yielding 3,034/. Os. 9d. per annum, exclusive of 2401. parochial rates, 701. stipend to the vicar of St. Mary, 1001. also during the incumbency of the present vicar, and 1331. 6s. Bd., an annuity of one-third of 4001., pay able to the heirs of Lord Eardley, &c. This was sold for 68,0001. The second and third lots included the manors with several freehold farms, containing about 2,136 acres, producing an annual income of 2,9561. 195. 6d., subject to 71/. Bs. land-tax, and 8/. 10s. fee-farm rent, with also the patronage of the advowson, returning 2461. 4s. Bd. per annum. They were sold for 99,5001. The population is about 7,000. There is an extensive fishery within the manor, and the country was hunted by Lord Fitzwilliam's hounds. The timber was to be disposed of at a valuation. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—The Ocean coach, run ning between Cromer and Norwich, left Cromer at eight o'clock on Tuesday morning with a full load, and had proceeded to Aylsham, a distance of some ten miles, when the horses were changed. The coach had not pro ceeded on its journey with the fresh horses more than a few hundred yards when the off-wheeler, a spirited mare, not long accustomed to harness, commenced kicking furiously, and caused the remaining horses to take fright and gallop furiously down the hill. The coachman vainly endeavoured to pull up, and in the attempt the " quarter rein" of the restive mare was broken; There were three ladies seated in front, and although the coachman and several passengers implored them to re tain their seats, in which they were held by force for a few seconds, two of them contrived to throw themselves off, and were precipitated over a wall about six feet high into a field. Singularly enough they sustained no in jury. The coachman now perceiving that the vehicle would be upset unless speedily stopped, contrived to pull one rein suddenly, and with such force as to swing the horses round and to dash the coach against the wall over which the ladies had leaped. Two of the horses were severely bruised by the contact with the wall, and re mained perfectly still, but bleeding and exhausted. A. labourer who was engaged repairing the road then ran up and secured the leaders. On the passengers descend ing, it was found that the bar of the coach was smashed, and that the mare, which had originally caused the mis chief, was seriously injured. The Earl and Countess of Sefton thave, sines the commencement of the shooting season received tl c onstant succession of visitors at Achnacarry Castle North Britain. SINGULAR DISCOVERY IN A GRAVESEND STEAMER. —On Tuesday afternoon a man, named Smith, one of the crew of the Emerald Gravesend steamer, observed a brown paper parcel in the cabin, and as no one applied for, or claimed it, he took it to the booking office imme diately after the vessel reached Gravesend. There being no name or address upon the parcel, after a short delay it was considered advisable to open it and see what it contained, when, to the utter surprise of all, the body of a newly.born female infant presented itself. It was shortly removed to the c ustody of the police at the Town-hall, and a. letter was forwarded to Mr. Carttar, the coroner, informing him of the circumstances. It is ' about two years since a similar parcel was left on the seat of a Gravesend steamer, containing an infant in 6 state of decomposition.
