On Tuesday she proceeded to Waterford, where she would land another moiety of the 80,0001. From Waterford she would proceed to Cork. No other man-of-war was at Kingstowii when the Comet left. The Bulldog steam-sloop, Commander Davies, will be ready for sea, if no fresh disaster befall her, to morrow night. Her newly appointed engineers have joined. - The Myrtle steam-vessel, a little craft of 116 tons and 60-horse power, arrived yesterday evening _ from the eastward, to supply the Comet's place as a dispatch boat during the absence of-the latter on. the coast of Ireland, distributing money and meal to alleviate the prevailing distress.

PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 16.—His Imperial Majesty's Rus• Sian corvette Abo arrived here from Naples on the 11th instant, bound to Cronstadt, has been since detained by light contrary winds. During her detention Captain Nordmann and other officers attached to her have visited the Port-Admiral, Sir John West, Admiral-Su perintendent Sir Samuel Pym, and other heads of de partments. In company with the Russian Consul, Mr. Luscombe, the following gentlemen attended the ball given on Mon day night in aid of the Female Orphan Asylum at Stoke, which was under the patronage of the Earl of Auckland, viz. :—Captain Nordmann, aide-de-camp to his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias ; Captain Rud ner, Lieutenant Golovin, Lieutenant Corosackoff, Baron Luvenstern, and Count Aprafin, officers of the Abo. The same gentlemen were yesterday afternoon conducted over her Majesty's dockyard by Sir William Symonds, the Surveyor to the Navy. DEVONPORT, SEPT. 16.—0 n Monday evening the Earl of Auckland and the Lords of the Admiralty dined with the Hon. H. Murray, Commander of the Forces in the Western District, at Mountwise. On Tuesday morning their Lordships transacted business at the Royal Hotel. At eleven o'clock they visited the Royal Naval Hospital, the Royal Marine Barracks, and the Royal William Victualling: yard at Stonehouse. TO-day the Lords of the Admiralty inspect the River Tamer, and in the evening dine with the Earl of Mount- Edgecumbe. To-morrow, in all probability, their Lordships will proceed in the Lightning steamer to inspect her Majesty's Dockyard at Pembroke. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 17.—Her Majesty's steam-packet Garland, Captain Smithett, has resumed her duties on the Dover station, having been absent three weeks, attending on the Queen during the royal cruises. The Garland appears to have gained great favour with her Majesty from the extraordinary speed she manifested the whole time she was with the royal squadron, no other steamer having the smallest chance of keeping pace with her, much to the astonishment of every officer and person on board the other vessels. The Garland is ordered to be at Ostend on the 20th inst., to meet Lieutenant Waghorn, RN., who is ex pected to arrive there on that day with the overland mail from India, vid Trieste, Germany, Belgium, &c. In the event of the dispatches reaching London on Monday next, it will be an extraordinary triumph for this truly enterprising gentleman and all concerned in the experi ment. The Athol troop-ship was brought down the river yesterday from Deptford to Woolwich, and her neces sary repairs are expected to be completed by Monday next, when she will embark Captain Thorndike's com pany of the Royal'Artillery for Barbadoes, and Captain D'Arley's company of the Royal Artillery for Bermuda. No. 1 Company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, sta tioned at present at Woolwich, have been ordered to em bark in the Athol, under the command of Captain Gor don, of the Royal Engineers, for a passage to Bermuda, to relieve the company at that station. No. 1 Compaip, will embark 70 strong, and on arriving at Bermuda will be joined by 30 of the youngest privates serving there at present, to raise the company to 100 men. The others will return to head• quarters at Woolwich. The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master Commander S. B. Cook, returned to Woolwich at half-past seven o'clock yesterday morning from attending on his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Commander-in-Chief, and the Marquis of Anglesey, Master• General of the Ordnance, during the visit of these distinguished officers to Sheer ness and Chatham. The Aurora corvette, belonging to his Majesty the King of Sardinia, and commanded by Captain the Mar quis Spinola, arrived at Woolwich at eight o'clock P.M. yesterday, and remains at moorings opposite the Dock yard. The gallant Captain came on shore at eleven o'clock A.M. to-day, and accompanied the Sardinian Minister to the Royal Arsenal. There are betwixt 30 and 40 officers employed in, or studying for, the naval service of the Sardinian Government on board, who have come to this country to visit the principal naval and military establishments in England.. The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, remains opposite the Dockyard, Woolwich, and a number of ship carpenters are employed upon her to get her ready for sea. A very serious accident occurred on board on Tuesday evening on her arrival at Woolwich, imme diately after her return. It appears that two fine able bodied seamen were stationed at her bows to let go the anchor to hold the vessel in the river, and that by some means the cable caught hold of them, and tore off the left arm of George Bone, and three fingers of the right hand of William Bayly. The sufferers were, immedi ately attended to, and in the coarse of the night brought on,shore to the Royal Marine Hospital, where they re• main, in a better condition than could have been expected under the circumstances and the severe nature of the injuries they have sustained. The Emily and Henry hired convict-ship, with 176 female convicts on board, hoisted her sailing signal this morning, and is expected to leave her moorings, opposite the Royal Arsenal, in the course of the afternoon.

TnE SEANIsn MaTcn.--:All the jewellers and gold smiths of Paris are at work on ornaments for the mar riage of that poor little victim the Queen of Spain, doomed to be executed to her cousin. The finery is spoken of, by competent judges of such matters, as being very superb. The diamonds are said to be as bright and almost as numerous as the tears. shed by the bride, and the gold trinkets almost as heavy as her sighs. Her hymeneal manacles, though they may gall her to the bone, will at least be magnificently chased. No Hindoo widow'vias ever burned with greater splendour than will attend the Spanish bride to the altar. She will be sacri ficed to marriage like a Queen. And when she has given her'hand to her cousin, and promised'to give her heart, the spirits of hypocrisy, and guile, and fraud (especially invoked for the solemnity), will chant an epithalamium expressly composed for t he occasion by that great master of domestic discord, the parent of all falsehood. An amnesty will, it is said, be granted, and all political offences forgiven, on the marriage of the Queen. Poor thing 1 She herself may forgive her enemies, but, as the Italian says, " it is not ordered that we should forgive our friends ;" and Isabella may bitterly rememher that exception and privilege.—Punch. The last published annual account of the Equitable Assurance Society shows that the directors in the year 1845 paid for claims on policies 365,0001., and for addi tions made to them 429,0001., being a total of 794,000/. At the close of that period, and after all these payments, the invested capital of the society was 5,715,000/. Three per Cents., and 4,050,0001. on mortgage. The society has lately paid claims on policies exceeding the sum originally assured, in some instances five times, and in others six times the amount. On a sum assured of 5,0001. the amount paid was 26,610/. ; and in another case for 2,000/. an amount of 10,040/. was paid ; while in a third case for 700/. assured the amount paid was 4,980 L Among the causes which acpear to have con tributed to these important results, is the reservation at each decennial division of one-third of the surplus fund for future appropriation. The amount of the additions made to the oldest 5,000 policies at the last decennial division, in 1839, was 4,094,6614 estimated to be worth in present money 2,969,502/. ; and the third reserved for future accumulation and division was 1,484,751/. The third reserved in 1799 was 225,000/. The 5,000 oldest policies, it is stated, are entitled to share in the additions; and should the life assured die before January Ist, 1850, being within such 5,000, two and-a-half per cent. per annum on the sum assured will be added for every pre mium paid subsequently to 1839, or subsequently to the admission of the policy into the above number. The actual number of policies existing on the 31st December last was 6,537. The number of policies which have annually become claims, on an average of the last 14 years, having been 235, it is expected that all the poli cies now existing will be admitted into the number of 8,000 within the next seven years.— Times. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE BRANDING JUNC TION. RAILWAY.—SUNDERLAND, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. On inquiry . being made this afternoon, at Monkwear mouth, relative to the state of Hall and Henderson, the engineman and fireman who were severely injured by the accident on this railway (a branch of the York and New castle), on Monday morning, parties were informed that they are " doing well. At first they were not ex pected to rfrover; they have been attended by Mr. Gregory, surgeon, who now entertains the strongest hopes of their complete restoration to health. They cannot give any further account respecting the accident than has been already published. It appears that a young girl, wbo was one of the passengers, was also slightly injured. The line was cleared, and the broken rails replaced on Monday night, since which time the trains proceeded regularly. The engine has been removed to Gateshead, where the crank pin of the connecting lever will be replaced. SATTTRDAY moltNnkrafl, sEPTEmBER 10. 1846 BRiTIgH ASSOCIATION - FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. SOUTHAMPTON ' THITRSDAt.—The Marquis of North ampton, Sir R. I. Murchison, Sir J. Herschel, the D can of Westminster, the Dean of Winchester, and all the Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Secretaries of sections, to gether with Professors tOrsted, Forchhammer, and Mid dendurff, were entertained at dinner yesterday by the Mayor. GENERAL MEETING. The last general meeting of the Association was held at eight o'clock in the evening, at the Victoria Rooms; Sir R. Murchison, the president, in the chair. The PRESIDENT, on opening the meeting, observed that the parliament of science had now terminated, and it only remained for them to lay some of the results which had attended their proceedings before the British public, in order that all might be able to judge of the merits and value of their association. He would, in the first place, call upon the treasurer to produce his report. Mr. TAYLOR, the treasurer, then read the report, the substance of which we have already published. The total number of tickets issued at the meeting was 843, and the entire amount recceived, including 1001. from Prince Albert, was 8271.45. Bd. Colonel SADINE, the general secretary, then read a list of the grants of money voted by the general committee, and which has been already published in our columns. He added, that among the reports which they required for next year, and which would not involve any outlay of Inoney, would be two on the important subject of earthquakes, and one from Mr. Scott Russell on the science of naval construction, including steam naviga tion. They had also requested Dr. Ewing and Sir James Ross to draw up a plan for a naval expedition for the purpose of investigations to complete our know ledge of tides. The recommendations to the Govern. ment were two : one for the publication of the important meteorological observations taken by the officers of the trigonometrical survey of Ireland under Captain Lar combe, since 1834, and which were compiled with the greatest care and accuracy of any investigations in' the world • the other was for a survey cf the supposed parallel roads at Glenroy and its vicinity, in the north of Scotland. The Marquis of NORTHAMPTON, after congratulating the association that he could address them as " gentlemen and ladies," for they had that day decided on admitting ladies to the rank of membership, proposed the first re solution, which was a vote of thanks to the mayor, cor poration, and inhabitantq„of Southampton, for the kind manner in which they had received the association. He was sure no stranger there would ever forget the kind ness which they had received from all the inhabitants of the town, and more especially from the excellent chief magistrate. He wished to take that opportunity of cone gratulating the association on the meeting which had jnetterminated, and on the results to science which were - likely to arise Out of it. There was only one circum stance connected with the present meeting which he could regret, and that was, that he had not seen any philosophers from among their trans-Atlantic brethren among them. This was the more to be regretted from the fact, that at their last meeting they had listened to the eloquence of that friend of civilisation, and of science, and of peace, Mr. Everett. He was sere that great man would give them his hearty good wishes, and would re joice when he heard of the triumphant display made by the association this year.—(Hear, hear.) It was true they had not so large an assemblage as they would have had at Liverpool, or Manchester, or Bristol, or Birming ham, or Glasgow ; but then Southampton, it should be recollected, ,was a comparatively small town, and the at- tendance was certainly - greater in proportion to the popu lation than at any of the larger localities they had hi therto visited. He did not mean to cast any slur on those greater towns, but he mentioned the fact as a proof that the association was rising in public estimation, and he was convinced, though when they held their meetings in the smaller towns their disbursements were necessarily larger than their receipts, that still, when they again visited the great leading towns of the kingdom, their previous losses would be more than made up to them.— (Hear, hear.) Their p res id en t h a d, i n hi s o p en i ng a d dress;detailed to them some of the advantages which the association had conferred on science and on the com munity, but he was satisfied that, in addition to all this, they did more good than they could be at all aware of; that they lit up the sparks of science in many minds that would hereafter enlighten the world with their brilliancy and splendour. After some further remarks, the Noble Marquii, concluded by moving that all the members of the association present, not belonging to Southampton, should join with him in expressing their thanks to the mayor and inhabitants of, the town for the kindness which they had shown 16 them. The motion was re ceived with loud applause. The MAYOR returned thanks, and said he was sure his fellow townspeople would unite with him in, expressing their gratitude to the great and distinguished men wbo had honoured them by coming among them. He con cluded by expressing a hope that the meeting of the British Association in their town would lay the founda tion for the establishment of a local literary society among them, which might hereafter aid in lighting up the spark of science, to which the Noble President of the Royal Society had referred, in the hosoms of some of their fellow-eitlzens. Professor PHILIPS moved a vote of thanks to the local secretaries and members of the local committee, and passed a high eulogium on their exertions to ensure the comfort and convenience of the association. Dr. CLARKE returned thanks. Sit... Joust HERSCHEL said that however remarkable Britain had made herself in the field of science, she was but one of the nations that were distinguished before mankind in the advancement of civilisation. He felt that he was therefore placed in a situation to which his rhetorical powers were extremely inadequate, in rising to express the feelings not merely of the British Associa• tion, but of British civilisation generally, in reference to European science. England was undoubtedly an island, but she refused to be regarded as one in matters of science. A great bridge had been built across the Channel, and there was no longer a separation between her and the continent of Europe. Its science thre was but one direction which the needle would take when pointed towards the European continent, and that was towards his esteemed friend Professor Olirsted.—(llear aid cheers.) He knew not how to speak of him in his presence, without rib lating some of that sanctity by which as an individual he was surrounded. To look at his calm manner, who could think that he wielded such an intense power, ca pably of altering the whole state of science, and almost convulsing the knowledge of the world? He had at this meeting developed to them some of those recondite and remarkable powers which he had been himself the first to discover, and which went almost to the extent of obliging them to alter their views on the most ordinary laws of force and of motion. He elaborated his ideas with slowness and certainty, bringing them forward only after a long lapse of time. How often did he (Sir J. Herschel) wish to heaven that be could trample down and strike for ever to the earth the hasty generalisation which marked the present age, and bring up another and a more safe system of investigation, such as that which marked the inquiries of his friend. It was in the deep recesses, as it were, of a cell, that in the midst of his study a far idea first struck upon the mind of Oer sted. He waited calmly and long for the dawn which at length opened upon him, altering the whole relations of science, and he might say of life, until they knew not where he would lead them to. The electric telegraph and other wonders of modern science were but mere efUrveseences—the mere scum from the surface of this deep recondite discovery, which, Oersted's had liberated, and which was yet to burst with all its mighty force upon the world.—(Cheers.) But with the long list which he had to get through he would not dilate longer on the great discovery of his esteemed friend. If he were to characterise by any figure the ad vantage of Oersted to science, he would regard him as a fertilising &boa er descending from heaven, which brought forth a new crop, delightful to the eye and pleasing to the heart. But if he turned on the other hand, he would have to describe a mighty Titan—one who can convulse nature, tear up the rocks, and call the lightning to his aid. When he mentioned the name of Sehonbein he surely recalled to them all these ideas. — (Hear, hear.) After proceeding at some length to de scribe iu eloquent language the celebrity of the other eminent foreigners present at the meeting, he concluded, amidst loud cheers, by moving the thanks of the meeting to Professor Oersted and the other foreign philosophers who had honoured them by their presence. Mr. M. STIRLING said he thought tbs term applied by Sir John Herschel to Professor Wheatstone's great discovery—the electric telegraph—of being mere scum and effervescence, was one requiring some explanation. Sir JOIN HE,RSCHEL said nothing could be further from his mind than to depreciate the important discovery of his friend Professor Wheatstone; but in using what was, perhaps, rather an infelicitous term, he merely wished to compare what had already appeared on the surface from Oersted's discovery, in comparison to the depths which they were yet unable to fathom.—(Hear.) The Rev. Dr. Rontsrsost said, before the gentleman, whoever he was, rose in so peremptory a manner, he ought at least to have understood what he was speaking about. No one had a higher esteem for Professor Whea tstone than he had, but yet he had no hesitation in say ing that the discoveries of Professor Wheatstone were but effervescences of that fermentation which the dis coveries of Oersted were raising in the minds of men. Some interruption for a time of rather an angry kind ensued, after which the resolution was carried amidst loud cheers. Professor OERSTED said he was quite overpowered at all the praise which that distinguished gentleman, Sir John Herschel, had heaped upon him, and he regretted that his command of the English language was not suffi cient to enable him to express his feelings as he would wish. There was no country had more reason to love science than England. Her great men were too nume rous to be enumerated, but the name of Newton was perhaps sufficient to mention.—(Hear, hear.) Science was power,' and much of the vast power of England had certainly been derived from the scientific pursuits of her great men. He felt the liveliest gratification on coming amongst them on this occasion, and he was sure all the foreigners around him were actuated by the same emotions. The PRESIDENT begged to remind the meeting that at that association, which might be called the parlia ment of the science of England, there had been ass( m bled at one time or another every man who was entitled to the name of eminent in science in the British empire. He would, therefore, spurn any criticism which might be directed against them, When he saw himself supported by such men as Herschel, and Owen, and Faraday, he felt that it was no idle boast on his part, humble geologist as he was, to say that he spoke in the name of the united science of Britain. All they required was, an open stage and no favour, to have their acts investi gated, but instead of that, those who criticised them seized on mere excrescences of the meeting, which had no connexion whatever with the , great objects which they were assembled to promote. After some further remarks, he announced that the Marchioness ofgastings, Lady Murchison, Mrs. Whitby,'Mrs. Philips, and other ladies had that day paid their subscriptions and become members of the British Association. Mr. BULLER moved a vote of thanks to the President. Dr. ROBINSON seconded the motion. and observed that the association was not the first scientific body that admitted ladies as members. The Royal Irish Academy had conferred the title of honorary corresponding mem bers on tw o ladies—one was a near connexion of his own, and the other was no less than their distinguished countrywoman, Mrs. Somerville. Her fame was known to all, but it might not be known to many that, with all her transcendental mathematical knowledge, which so much astonished foreign philosophers, she was distin guished for her amiability and goodness in all the rela tions of private life. The Rev. Doctor alluded in lauda tory terms to the respect which Prince Albert had shown when attending the meetings of their sections to the, opinions of men of superior scientific acquirements. Mr. L. HORNER thought it right the meeting should know that the second lady who had been admitted an honorary member of the Royal Irish Academy was Maria Edgeworth.—(Cheers.) The meeting shortly after adjourned. In concluding our report of the proceedings of the association here we may remark that there were several interesting exhibitions open in the town during the week. The principal was the model room attached to the mechanical section, in which were exhibited some rich specimens of Irish poplins, ge.,:l.. , gical models, fossil shells, kind mathematical instrum,nts. The Messrs. Sowerby had also an extensive collections of shells and minerals on view. the most important feature of interest, not immedi ately connected with the association, wars, however, titre map•offics of the Ordnance survey of Great Britai❑ which was thrown open to the members of the associa tion. All the officers of the establishment, both com missioned and non-commissioned, were. unremitting in their attentions to the visitors. Captain Yolland, the superintendent of the depot, was in particular most zealous in explaining the ingenious processes which have been adopted to facilitate the engraving and print ing, the perfect arrangement of all the complicated details of the surveys, the intricacy of the calculations, and the almost miraculous accuracy which has been attained, both in the observations and in the manner in Which they are recorded and transcribed. A highly in teresting feature in this establishment is the reading room, which the depot has established under the new regulation. Though there are but thirty men in the establishment here, they have expended no less than 30/, —partly subscriptions from their officers—in fitting up a neat and commodious reading-room. It is provided with about a dozen large framed prints—one a present from her Majesty, two great geologies' maps of Great Britain and Ireland, coloured. Arrowsinith's large Atlas, and 824 volumes of books. The latter were, however, previously collected by the company under Captai❑ Yolland's command. The reading-room is also provided with two or three of the leading London morning papers, anda selection of the best magazines and reviews. ;VISIT or THE ASSOCIATION TO PORTSMOUTH. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 17.—A great number of ladies and gentlemen connected with the British Association, having their president, Sir R. I. Murchison, with them, arrived from Southampton, by the South-Western Rail way, at the Clarence-yard, Gosport, this morning, at eleven. There must have been upwards of 50, for Admiral Sir Charles Ogle sent his barge, and those of the Vic tory and Excellent, with some other boats, to embark the party, and they were packed so close that the men had to lay in their after oars. The distinguished party first .went on board her Majesty's ship Excellent, and were received by Captain Chads and his officers, and a prodigious number of half-pay officers and others, who expected to see some experimental operations, suggested by members of the association. After several introduc tions had taken place, tire party went over the upper and lower decks, and the guns being cast loose, they first witnessed the gun drill, and then several rounds of quick firing with blank cartridge from the 32-pounders, and the 8-inch and 10-inch guns. Inquiry was then made for some of Professor Schonbein's gun-cotton to be tried, but it happened that he was net one of the party, having, it was said, gone to London to take out a patent for his invention. Some disappointment was felt by the naval people on the occasion. but there was no help, and the only satisfaction which could be obtained and given to those who expected to have witnessed the explosive effects of the gun-cotton was an assurance that the Board of Ordnance had ordered one hundred weight to be purchased, and that it was to be tested at Woolwich, and on board the Excellent, when furnished by the Learned Professor. After the ladies and gen tlemen bud adjourned to the poop of the Excellent to observe the effect of two 118-pounder shot, which were fired at the wreck of the iron steamer Ruby, both of which hit her, and knocked away large fragments, Sir R. Murchison, for himself and the members of the asso ciation, expressed to Captain Chads his thanks for the attention which had been paid to them, and the gratifi cation they felt in witnessing what had been done in this short visit; the barges were then brought alongside, and the parties wert to her Majesty's ship, Victory, packed as close as before ; here Captain Pasco and his officers received them, and escorted them over the ship, pointing 'out the various objects of cu riosity,in her, particularly the spot on which Nelson fell when wounded; the company, many of whom had never been on board so large a ship, were muele, gratified when taken over the store-rooms, which were lighted up for the occasion, and after remaining on board near an hour, the greater part of the members and their friends landed at the dockyard, and proceeded to Admiral Sir C. Oglv's house, where a splendid lunch had been provided on a most liberal scale. Atter lun cheon at Sir C. Ogle.'s. the party, much increased in numbers, and apparently mustering one• hundred persons, went over the dockyard in groups, and were attended by Mr. Brown, the senior master attendant, and Mr. Fin chum, the waiter shipwright., who took them to the block machinery. metal mills, smithery, new steam basin, test house, hydraulic pump, rope-house, sail loft, &c.... About five o'clock the party left the yard, and were taken across the harbour to the Clarence • victualling department, which they inspected—the various parts of the baking machinery being explained by Mr. Grant, the store keeper and inventor of it. In the evening the learned body returned to their quarters at Southampton. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

'VAR BOROUG-II The. death of this Nobleman took place on the 10th instant, on board his yacht, the Kestrel, at Vigo. The following particulars 'are supplied from the only authentic communication received by the Members of the family. The Noble Earl had, for the last eighteen months, been in the decline of health, his original illness having succeeded a severe attack of gout. While at Cowes V ith his yacht in July, he was Considered sufficiently well to cruise with the squadron of her Majesty's ships, then in rendezvous at Cork. At Lisbon the Noble Earl seemed to be much improved in health by his aquatic trip, and while there a perceptible change took place, hut his spirits remained good, and he there received at dinner, on board his yacht, several friends. He pursued his voyage as far as Gibraltar, and was on his return to Cowes, when, owing to alar m i ng s y mptoms, t h ey called in at Vigo. It was there apparent that his Lordship was fast sinking, and he was himself conscious of his approaching dissolution. He expired without a struggle at about four o'clock A.M., on the 6th instant, on board his yacht. As to thz. statement of the Earl having eaten unripe grapes, there is not likely to be any.truth in it, for he did not take anything fur some days before his demise, and, therefore, it is not likely that in the event of his taking that fruit that it had any influence on his health. The above details may be- relied on as true. Lady Chailotte Copley, his Lordship's only. daughter, was deeply Affected when the lamented death of her father was communicated to her yesterday morning. Her Ladyship is staying in town with Sir Ji , s , ph Bart., who has come to town from Yorkshire tur medied ad vice. Charles Anderson Pelham was Earl of Yarborough, Baron Yarborough of Yarborough, county Lincoln, and Baron Worsley of Appuldercombe, in the ble of Wight, D.C.L., F.R.S., and F.S.A. He was horn on the gth of August, 1781, and married, the 11th of August, 1806, Henrietta Anna Maria Charlotte, second daughter of the Hon. John Bridgman Simpson (second son of Henry, first Baron Bradford), by whom (who died in 1813) he had issue : Charles Anderson Worsley, Lord Worsley, now Earl of Yarborough, who was born the 12th of April, 1809. Dudley Worsley, born the 23d of April, 1812, a Cap tain in the Royal Navy, and Charlotte, married in 1831 to Sir Joseph William Copley, Bart. The late Noble Earl sat as second Baron Yarborough at the decease of his father in September, 1823, and was raised to the Earldom on the 24th of January, 1837, by Viscount Melbourne's Administration, having been al ways an ardent supporter of Whig principles. He was also Vice-Admiral of the coast of the Isle of Wight and county of Southampton, recorder of Grimsby and Newport. Ills Lordship was, however, perhaps better known as commodore of the. oyal Yacht Squadron, which command he had held for a long series of years, and during tlie period he had held that command the distinguished members of the squadron have had re peated opportunities of witnessing the interest he always had in promoting the welfare of that influential aquatic club, as well as of partaking of his princely hospita!ity. The deceased nobleman is succeeded in the family honours and large estates by his eldest son Lord Wors ley, M.P., born April 12, 1809, and married to a daugh ter of Viscount Hawarden. The present Earl has sat in the House of Commons since 1830, when he was re turned for Newtown, Isle of Wight, a close borough, which was disfranchised by the Reform Bill. In 1831. he was elected for Lincolnshir e , w hi c h h e h as cont i nue d' to represent up to this period. An express was sent yesterday morning to his Lord ship, at Manby Hall, near Brigg, to apprise him of the death of his father, and also to the Hon. Captain Pel ham, the Noble Earl's other son, at the Isle of Wight. From the brief accounts received yesterday, we hear that the remains of his Lordship were on their way from Vigo, for interment in this country. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) DEATH OP THE EARL OF YARBOROUGH, COMMODORE OF THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON.—This good old English gentleman, of whom Britons were deservingly proud, is no more! He breathed his last on board his yacht, the Kestrel, in Vigo Bay, on the sth inst. He had been some time ill, but was considered better when he embarked, and while cruizing in these waters. It is supposed that the great heat of the days and coldness of the nights, when on the coast of Spain, hastened his end. He was a general peace-maker, be it on the magisterial bench, in the Royal Yacht Squadron, or amongst his neighbours. His charity was unbounded; he was looked up to, admired, and beloved by all. His death will be a severe blow to yachting and the Royal Yacht Squadron. His Lordship was in the 66th year of his age. The Kestrel was to sail from Vigo on the 7th with the body, and is hourly expected here. PRICE AND CHARGES OF A NEWSPAPER. (From the Times.) _ _ " Why," argued Mr. Hudson—" why is it, if the Times is so solicitous for reduced fares, that it does not illus trate its precept by reducing its own price ? There is one daily paper already published at 2d. ; it would be a great saving to the public if the Times were likewise published at 20., instead of 5d." We may. however, turn round upon him with his own words, and ex.laim, " Would that people knew something of the subjects on which they talk !" Does Mr. Hudson know anything of the expense of getting up a journal ? Nt w, for his benefit, and tor the instruction of others who have fewer opportunities than he has of studying statistics, we present him with the subjoined account of the cost of each single copy of the Times, as published to-day : d. Cost of paper for each copy of this da,),'s publication 2 Stamp Newsvendees prulit 41 Sale to the public 5 Profit on each paper Ol Now, according to our r o y a l. censor, out of these three-eighths of a penny, or one farthing and a half for each copy, are to be defrayed alt the substantial ex penses of the journal, reporters, printers, comp o sit ors , correspondents, for e i gn and domestic, repair of ma chinery, and all the numerous burdens to which journal ism is liable. We omit to spsak of the contributors to the leading columns, but we suppose there are few per sons blind to the necessity of retaining for this purpose men of sound education, undoubted intelligence, and in tegrity beyond the temptation or suspicion of a bribe. No one, we should imagine, is blind to the proprieiy of re munerating them well ; and we ask, how would it be possible to do this, and all that is required besides from the proprietors of a London journal, at a lower tariff than the present? Could we cater for the public as we have done—could we continue to do so, were our charges reduced? Clearly it is impossible. It is obvious that no extent of circulation can by itself repay the outlay required for the complete management of a daily paper. Nay, increase of circulation is itself, after a certain point, an evil, for it entails the necessity of further appliances and a more numerous corps, for the due support of which recourse must be perpetually had to the profits on ad vertisements. A journal may, indeed. weather out a short time on a scale of reduced prices; but any one con versant with the exigencies of the press must be fully aware that to continue this mode of operation under ex isting circumstances involves one of two conditions,— either that the proprietors shall always be able to fall back on the ample subiidies of some undisclosed million noire, or that they shall be eventually ruined. ACCIDENTAL , DEATHS.—An inquest was held on the 12th instant, by J. W. Cowley, Esti., Coroner for Bucks, at Marsh Gibbon, on view of the body of the daughter of Charles and Ann Rawlins, aged five years. The deceased went out to play on the previous afternoon, accompanied by two other children, and she proceeded to a well in the neighbourhood, near which they sat down, and the deceased in attempting to reach something from the surface, overbalanced and was precipitated into the water, and before any one arrived lite was quite extinct: Verdict, "Accidental Death." An inquest was held by the same coroner on the 15th instant, at Aylesbury, on view of the book of John Holland, aged fifteen months. On the 30th ult, the deceased upset a cup of hot coffee over his head, which had shortly before been poured from the coffeepot and placed upon a table by his mother. A surgeon was immediately sent for, and every attention paid, but the child died from the effects of the scalds received on the 14th inst. Verdict, "Accidental DFeath."h FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON AND CHI CHESTER RAILWAY.—As the train from Brighton to Chichester was passing at full speed between Shoreham and Littlehampttm, early on the afternoon of Wednes day, a man was observed to jump off one of the carriages. On arriving at Littlehampton, the guard was made ac quainted with the fact, and the engine was detached and sent back to discover if any accident had occurred. The unfortunate man was found lying on the railway with his skull so fearfully broken that, though alive at the time this information was dispatched on Wednesday, no hopes whatever were entertained of his recovery. It appears that the unfortunate individual, who has suffered by his own indiscretion, is the master and part owner of a coasting vessel in the neighbourhood of Littlehamp ton, and was on his way from London to spend the evening with a friend, but the train not stopping at the ( h o G i n e ios n e r c li n i e nf l o l eft his station,a a is n v o d fri i teh:we' friend. nextkreiwalking ghae stationm w an ted e Gmt°llgreeisit'g'; sta tion toehnerbir:keiii.

[Dividends, Erc In onr Next.] CUSTOMS' SALES: DELIVERY OF TORACCO.—The Board of Customs having had ender their consideration a communication from the Commissioners of Excise, suggesting, with a view to the greater security of the revenue, that in cases where leaf tobacco is purchased at customs sales, the goods should be delivered to licensed manufacturers only, due notice to this effect being in serted in the conditions contained in the catalogue of sale, orders have been issued to the principals of the several departments in London, and the collectors and controllers of the Customs at the various outports throughout the United Kingdom, to take care that in future the suggestions of the Excise Board be duly car ried into effect. This regulation is of very considerable importance, and should be generally known by the numerous parties who will be affected thereby. It will be seen that this exclusion of delivery except to certain parties does not extend to cigars and manufactured to bacco, but is confined to leaf tobacco, or tobacco in an uninanufaciured state, imported for the purpose •of manufacture in this country, the delivery of which, it appears, is to be in future confined to parties duly licensed by the Excise authorities for the express pur pose. _ _ _ THE LATE MR. JUSTICE WILLI/dn.—A post mortem examination of the remains-vf the above distin guished judge has left the cause of his lamented death a subject for medical conjecture. The heart and large blood vessels near that organ were fbund in a perfectly healthy state, as was also the brain, showing that the death of the Learned Judge was attributable neither to apoplexy or disease of the heart. The most probably conjecture is, that the deceased died of gout in the stomach, though that organ exhibited no appearance beyond what might have been caused by dyspepsia, from which he had been suffering more or less for some days. On the morning when he was visited by Dr. Probart, he complain.d of pains, radiating as he described them, from the pit of the stomach. Dr. Probart appears to have had some apprehensions of gout, for he asked bis patient whether he had ever suffered from any attack of that affection. The reply was that he never had, nor, as far as he knew, had any of his family. The circum stances of the deceased's death were awfully sudden. Leidy Williams left him on the sofa in the drawing room, as she supposed, better than he had been in the morning, to join the party of triends assembled at dinner. On returning after it short bbsenci-, she found him, as she thought, asleep on the s.to, but the 61eep was soon discovered to be that of death DEATHS OF CONVICTS AT WOOLWIC ll.—Th ursd ay Mr. C. J. Carttar, Coroner for West Kent, held inquests at Woolwich, at the Salutation Tavern, opposite the Arsenal gates, on the bodies of two convicts, who met their deaths under the following circumstances:—The names of the deceased are William Gibbs and Thomas Trison, who were convicted at the Surrey Assizes, held at Kingston in March last, and sentenced to transporta tion for life, on a charge of robbery. From the evidence of Messrs. Bossey and Bligh, surgeons to the hospital convict-ship, it was proved that the deceased received during their illness, wine, custards, fish, flesh, and fowl, in order to rally their constitution, which had no effect, and they died of consumption. The jury expressed their entire approbation with the hind and humane treat ment they had recei ve d un d er th e di s t ress i ng circum stances, and returned a verdict, " Died from natural causes." An erroneous impression having gone abroad that such unhappy creatures are nearly starved and worked to death, the following official return of food and clothing, issued from the Secretary of State's office, will tend to remove such doubts. Weekly regimen —oat meal, 31b. loz ; soft bread, 71b.; biscuit, 11b. 120 z.; beef, 3ilb.; cheese, 120 z.; salt, 40z.; and a pint and a half of small beer on cheese days. Annual clothing -2 jackets, 3 pair of trousers, 3 shirts, 4 pair of stockings, 3 pair of shoes, 2 bats, 2 handkerc..iefs, 1 waistcoat, 1 blanket, and 1 Guernsey frock. Dr. Bossey said he had the power to order, with ou t t h e l east restr i ct i o n, any luxury or indulgence during sickness to the councts. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL Yesterday a Court was held. MARBLE BUST After some preliminary Mr.D.W.WzaErdse to subnnt, ,onowiorg moulen.;— " That permission be granted to the Jones !e-Aii - n4i4' . t committee, under the dir,ction of the City 'l..t.ndi .1 , 1 74 - 711 i; mittee, to place it marble bust of Richard .1.4014.1.e.J;;riCa, Esq., upon a suitable' pedestal in the'COuncil Qhfonher (which bust has been purchased by subscription), to re_ cord and perpetuate the grateful sense entertained 'by the public and his fellow-citizens of his disinterested and laborious devotion in the discharge of his duties as Chairman of the Committee for re-bnildinz Lc bridge, and making suitable • t re-building the Royal Excharg! lic improvements within the C unanimous concurrence in his AMEt th-r dub . erut , C.t which was to do honour to the corporainon itself, as well as to the able and excellent member of it whose talents and industry had been so long engaged in the service of his fellow-either s and of the ceminunity.—(Hear,) Ile Admitted that the four busts already in the Connell Chamber represented individuals of the most distin guished character, two most illustrioua heroes and two of our most remarkable philanthropists. He rejoiced to see honour done to men whose ereigies had Even called. forth by other excitements than those whit effusion, of islood, and aruceleet that most class the name of Mr: Jensen ranlesii ‘ legh as to the commercial and trading cemieunitY c.. ees kingdon.—(iiear.) He thought it unnecessary to say more of the clue - stone., of a person whose ants were writ ten in the hearts and memories of all present.—(Hear.) Mr. JOHN DIXON seconded the motion with the highest degree of gratification, for he had long wit nessed the indefatigable exertions of the gentleman to whom the honour was intended. Mr. remeneecesr unwillingly opposed the motion, for he was aware of the many great claims which Mr. Jones had upon the citizens of London. He believed Mr. Jones to be one of the ablest men with whom it hail been his good fortune to meet. and he was of opinion that the merit of such a man ought to be noticed, but not exactly in the manner propesed.—(Hear, Twee.) It appeared that the bust was to costlhe corporation seeking. `.Chat was one of the arguments for placing it in the Ceuncil Chamber. Now certainlyif it were not worth the while of the corporation to purchase a bust, the chamber was not the place in which to erect it.—(hear, hear.) He would ask the court whether they seriously thought that the bust of one of their own body should he placed in such company as that of the bust of the hero of Tra falgar, and that of that great advocate of the slave trade _abolition ?—(Hear, hear, and " Oh, oh!") He thought that nothing could be more absurd. The individuals to whom such distinctions had been awarded were public men celebrated for their public conduct, which inne•lved the national honour in a high degree. Now, Mr. Ames, when he meddled with public matters, was ma consi dered by the very persons who were now advocating his cause just the sort of public man whose deed, were likely to attract their sympathy. Poste=rity had to do with the names of the great men whose busts filled the niches. The battle of Trafalgar and the abolition of the slave trade were, after all, greater deeds than the building of London-bridge, - or Greahtorestrett, or any other of those excellent improaermeas for which the public certainly had to tick Mr. Jones in an eminent degree. lit it generetien or two people, who would know term history the ac-ti enements by reason of whieh the warriors atid philanthropic a e ere allotted their places in that room, welds' ask with sur prise, upon seeing the bust of Mr. Jones, " But who is that?—what brings him into such society?" The an swer would be, •• He was a man of high reputation in the corporation, who greatly improved the City of London, and preserved an nisfeemiahed urine to (hat ace r all the while.":--(Cheers.) What had that to do era] the history of England, in whets the names of all :h-,- divideals with whom he was proposed to be tree welled would unquestionably appear? Why should the Court place amongst such men one of whom postern) c old' never know anything?--(Hear, hear, and murmurs.) Finally, he disapproved altogether of the idea of erect ing any memorial for which the corporation did not pay themselves, and with every respect for Mr. Jones, and every wish that all honour should be rendered to him in the various ways in which his claims wcre not to be for a moment questioned, he proposed as an amendment the previous question. Mr. SELSON seconded the amendment, because', ne bust would be ill-placed by being placed in that Court, and the Court had already decided upon the question. Mr. LAWRENCE ridiculed the notion of keeping the. Court as a place of exhibition for the busts of heroes and men of high rank and connexions, and excludieg their own fellow-citizen from an honour to which he wan most indisputably entitled. If there were not the busts there *ere the portraits of men around them whose great actions were not chronicled. W hat had Mr. Deputy Pinder done, to be remembered by posterity ? (1 augh ter.) What had the Chamberlain (Mr. Clarke) dune, that he should appear at full-length in such company ? (Laughter.) What was the case of Mr. Jones? Here was a committee, consisting of merchants and bankers of the metropolis, determined to carry out the principle of extending the vast benefits of the arts of peace, and manifesting their sincerity by subscribing fOr a testi monial to a member of the Corporation who had de voted his time and talents to the service of the community. That committee asked the Court for permission to erect the bust of th a t men , an d t h e answer they were to get was, " What! admit a person who was ifot victorious at Trafalgar or Waterhio! Dreadful 1" Would the Gene be carried aunt by such nonsense?—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) What! when they wanted to fill up a niche must they look about for a stray warrior, instead of fixing upon the ablest, one of the most honourable men amongst themselves ? (Cheers.) He would seriously ask the Court whether the City of London had not derived as much advantage from the labours of Mr. Jones as from the labours of any of the men whose busts or per traiteadorned their place of meeting?--(Cheers.) In fifty or sixty years the likenesses of warriors would cut but a sorry figure by the side of the groat promoters of national and commercial improvements.—(Cheers.) A member of their body was chosen in pretererce to all others to direct and superintend the great imrrovenienti in the City of London. It w as as k e d what windier was worthy to be in such company as that of the great. person to whom so much allusion had beet, made. It happened to be a weakness of our nature that we should think the only way to greatness was to aim at pulling "teen the reputation of others.—(Hear.) Almost every nein eas given to depreciate the tnerite of others. Noe be hoped to see the Court aa a body throw that feeling aside. — (Cheers.) The refusal to accede to the original mieion would cast indelible dingrace upon the Corpus-whin, who were bound to show to the public that they e ere de sirous to encourage the members of their he to adopt a line of conduct similar to that by whi c h M r . J ones h a d been so long distinguished.—(Cheers.) Mr. BENNOCH, in supporting the oriOial motion, said the fit place in which to erect the tete of Mr. Jones was certainly that which constituted the theatre of his exertions. Mr. L. TAYLOR objected to the tee sect a bust to a person while he-was a r of ;he C. urt. The case would be different if Mr. Jooes e.id nut happen then to be a member. Deputy STEvENS said that more public money pissed through the hands of Mr. Jones than through the bands of any other man in the City uP London, and slander was never breathed against him in the apnlication e t it. —(Cheers.) It was by his integrity, as w, ii as hy his zeal and activity, sad skill, that he a witt e d h etet Is te t h e gratitude of his fell , w-citizens. liis wird* were some times as rough as the SL.IIeS with winch the magnificent buildings he directed were raised.' Ile made no friends by his mode of treating the language in whieb he com municated his sentiments, but the -streightforwarnlncaz, the fair-dealing, the integrity of the man, were impos sible to be mistaken.—(Cheers.) Mr. PEWTRESS was surprised at any hesitation in the Court, upon the very first occasion on which the honour had been done to them of an offer to put up a bust of one of themselves. Mr. R. TAYLOR never heard a speech in which inge nuity and subtlety had so completely failed as that of Mr. Prendergast. Mr. LoTT objected to the original motion, because he could not admit that the Royal Exchange an Gresham street were so decidedly superior. lie thought, too, that Mr. Jones's influence would increase it his bust were placed in the Court, and everybody knew that there was quite enough of him there when he presented him self.—(Laughter.) Mr. ASHURST said the Government of the country had for 20 years maintained such an orrnion o( the Cor poration as to pass into their hands two millions of money to accomplish certain public improvements. Mr. Jones was the person who devoted his time and talent to the judicious expenditure of that enormous sum, and through him the trade and commerce of the great port of London was be 'refitted to an immense extent:. Mr. KING had the greatest respect for the integrity of Mr. Jones, but it did not follow that he was, tt et &ore, to do all he could, by placing Mr. Jones's bus; in the Court, to make the gentleman uncomfortable as well as useless. Mr. ANDERTON said the Court would disgrace itself by agreeing to the amendment. Mr. DE JERSEY deprecated the haste with which the business was got up, and said that Mr. Jones's character could not suffer by delay. Dr. LYNCH accused the panegyrists; of Mr. James of the grossest sycophancy. Praise undeserved was cen sure in disguise, and the sycophancy of that day ope rated as the most severe censure.--(Cries of " Hear, hear," and " No, no.") Who were the parties to whom Mr. Jones was indebted for so much compliment ? Just the aspirants for municipal fame, who, while they were advocating their friend's bust, were carving out niches in the Court for themselves.—(Laughter and cheers.) They supposed that. if they could only get in so large an object as Mr. Richard Lambert Jones, they would be able to squeeze in themselves by and by.—(Great laughter.) Their praise was one for Mr. Jones and two for themselves; and, as cheapness seemed to be a recom mendation, it was possible that a pawnbroker's shop might supply them with the materials for the exhibition. Indeed, he had been given to understand tbat Mr. Wire had a bust quite ready for use after Mr. Jones's should be safely deposited.—(Great laughter.) Of all the gen tlemen in the court, Mr. R. L. Jones was in the most in describable position. Some called him a colossus, others asserted that his feet were of clay. He was certainly an most antithetical character, made up of the most contra dictory and unintelligible materials. Some said that he had made his own greatness, and others declared that he was merely great under the shadow of the corporation. But how barbarously did they treat him by r a i s ing him to a parallel with those men whose high names hail been so profaeely mentioned in -the course of that discus sion. Dr. Lynch concluded a . most humorous - speech, which we are obliged to curtail - very much, by ceiling upon the Court to pass the amendment.
