40.. ~r —.Ant great interest in every respect, and accompanies Slims with useful remarks, well worthy being meditated, mad by which we will conclude this rapid analysis. Here are the conclusions of the Commission. " The Board cannot close their report without ex pressing in the strongest terms their unanimous opinion and profound conviction, that it is indispensable to adopt such measures as will procure to the south-east frontier a powerful naval protection. " Without any exception, the tide harbours situate on the coast between Portsmouth and the Thames are net capable of receiving large steam vessels. Now-a-days, when steam has introduced so great a change in the situation of modern affairs, it is an imperious necessity to snake up, by artificial means, for the want of proper sea ports in the narrow part of the Channel. " A hydrographical chart shows the points or places where, from our propositions, our merchant vessels will find refuge in harbours and closed anchorage grounds. " By such means, connected with the use of steam at sea, with railways and telegraphic communications by land, the naval and military strength of Great Britain can, in a few hours. be brought to bear with the greatest effect upon any point of the coast. " The resolutions we have thought it our duty to sub mit to your Lordships of the Exchequer to be executed, will require a great amount of public "expenditure ; but when the lives, the private property, as well as the national safety, are the interests at stake, we think no pecuniary consideration should be allow e d to prevent the realisati' n of results of such vast importance." The general chart to which the:Commissioners allude in their conclusions, says M. Dupin, presents a series of distances which will certainly strike every attentive ob server. Here they are related according to their res pective bearings, proceeding from west to east, in geogra phical miles, 60 to the degree.

From Portsmouth to the port of llarwich, in an extent of twenty-two myriametres only it is proposed to create, according to the estimates for 96,000,000 of sea works. There will be five great centres of protection, capable of receiving five naval armies, and serving as starting points for five expeditions of great war-steamers— the farthest expedition being ab'e to pounce in seven hours upon the coast of France, and the nearest one in one hour and a half; the whole of which works will exercise their influence, not to say their sway, upon 150 leagues of our shores, from Dunkirk to the Bay of St. Malo. We ;hall end this memoir by observing that,*along all this vast unfolding of open shores, France possesses but one great centre of protection—that is, Cherbourg. Under the reign of Louis XIV. an illustrious member of the Academy of Sciences, a great citizen, who never left untried any service be could render to his native country—the Marshal Vauban—had known how to give us, at Hard} ek, near Dunkirk, a fin t centre of protection, which was destroyed not by war, but in peace, by decay, in the reign of Louis XV. _ _ I should consider myself the most happy of men if I mid hopa this memoir will not be without influence ; so that, in our age, following the example set by a great reign, and aroused by the indefatigable energy of our rivals, we should zealously occupy ourselves about the means fit to give us sufficient centres of protection for . our merchant vessels from Dunkirk to Cherbourg. This Is a vital question both for commerce and the safety of the country—such a question as can be well solved only by the united aid of civil, military, and naval science and art. Let us call to oar assistance hydrography, navigation, hydraulic architecture, railways, and electric telegraphy, in order that from Paris, as rapidly as from London, talutiry adrices and orders for action should be trans mitted in opportune time, finding within proper dis tunces lx.th places of protection and radiating centres, such as are required for the security of our shores, and the honour of our native country.—Journal du Havre. TRAGICAL OCCURRENCE NEAR FOLKES LONE. FOLKESTONE, OCT. 3.—During the last few days, the villages adjacent to this town have been most painfully excited by the commission of a double murder, in the parish of Elham, about ten miles distant, and the suicide of the murderer. The unfortunate victims were the wife and child of the wretched perpetrator of the deed. named Sharruck Richard Bragg, a bricklayer by trade. Oa Wednesday morning he rose at an early hour, and while his wife was in bed with an infant by her side, he stru.3k her violent blows on the temple with a hammer, and t hen committed thelike violence on a little girl,' five years of age, which lay in a side bed, after which he de stroyed his own life by cutting his throat. The particulars attending the dreadful catastrophe may be gathered from the subjoined evidence which was adduced at the coroner's inquest on the bodies. It was I-el lat the King's Arms Inn, at Elham, before Mr. T. T. Delasseux, one of the county coroners. William Jaggers, a schoolmaster residing in the vil lage, was first called. He said that he had lodged at the house of the deceased for about ten months. The family consisted of Sharruck Richard Bragg, his wife Mary, and her two children, the eldest named Ellen, aged about five years, and an infant aged four months. The conduct of the. deceased man towards his wife and children was most kind. On Tuesday night, about half past ten o'clock, witness went to bed; the deceased, his wife, and children had retired before that time. About half past five o'clock on the fo!lowing morning he heard a heavy fall on the floor fn the room of the deceased; shortly before which he heard the wife of the deceased groaning. The groans continued and at times grew louder. About six o'clock witness got up and dressed himself; and on looking out of the window saw a little girl knocking at the front door. He immediately went down stairs and opened the door, but the child was gone. lie then discovered some blood lying on the floor in the front room, which is under the apartment occupied by the deceased, and on looking up he perceived more dripping through th e ceili ng . He instantly called up a female Lamed Quested, and desired her to go and open the bedroom door of the deceased. Ann Quested, the wife of a blacksmith, was.next exa mined—She deposed that at about hall-past six o'clock on Wednesday morning she was called by the last wit ness to go into the deceased's room. She did so, and was horrified on teeing the deceased man lying on the floor covered with blood. She also saw the bedclothes saturated with blood. Being much alarmed, she hastened down stairs for assistance. Richard Foreman stated that he had known the de ceased about twenty years. For the last five or six years he'had seen him frevei ty. During the last few weeks he appeared much trouNled in his mind, and ha: corrp'aim dto witness about i . lie was w:th him for about three-quarters of an h. u • at his home on Tuesday evening. He was then low-qa cited, but witnes s did no t observe anything unpletviarA - 13 tween him and his wi!e. He left his house a nine o'clock. By a .in:nr—Deceased always appeared very much a tacked to his wife and children. James Bragg, brother to the deceased, said that, on Tuesday even;ng, about seven o'clock, he met his brother, end had some converfatioi with him. For the last mouth e sed had laboered under a depression of tz. Witness was at work with him about three weeks ago, he was then strange in his conversation, and diff-:rent from what he had been in the habit of being. By the CORONER—From what he had seen and heard, he believed that the deceased was jealous of his wife. He bad heard the deceased say, " If I was to die, there is another man ready to marry my wife." Sarah Bragg, the wife of the last witness, was then called. She was one of the first to enter the deceased's bedroom on the alarm being given. She saw the de ceased min lying on the floor. He was quite dead, and the upper part of his body was covered with blood, On a chair ne.►r his corpse she found w razor covered with blood. She then went to thd bed and lifted the infant from it. The moter was perfectly insensible, and was groaning her..eray. The little girl was in a side bed. She was covt,Ted with blood. They were both breathing. Mr. James Beattie, surgeon, of Elham, deposed to the nature of the wounds which the murderer had inflicted, and from which both his wife and child had died almost immediately after his being called in. The CORONER summed up, and left it to the jury to state whether the deceased man was the master of his actions when he destroyed himself end wife and child. The jury consulted together, and then found " that the deceased Sharruck Richard Bragg killed and slayed Mary his wife, and Ellen his daughter, while in an un sound state of mind, an d w hil e i n t h at i nsane s t a t e did destroy himself byeuttingbis throat with a certain razor. IMPRISONMENT FOR STEALING WALNUTS. -At Wandsworth Police -court, on Monday, two young men, named Thomas - Chandler and Henry Elliot, were sen tenced to be imprisoned seven days each for having knocked down some walnuts off a tree in an enclosed field at Barnes, belonging to Lord Lonsdale. The agent of his Lordship said it was net for the value of the wal nuts that he prosecuted, but on account of the great damage done to the fences. The Whittle Dean Water Company have entered into contracts for the manufacture of their great aque duct pipe, the diameter of which is twenty-four inches, and it will be about twelve miles in length. Consider able progress has been made in the formation of the company's reservoirs at Welton, and the works neces sary for their completion are proceeding with activity.— Newcastle Gazette. EXPORTS FROM SOUTHAMPTON.—We understand that-the exported articles of merchandise from this port to foreign ports during the month of September, have considerably exceeded any previous month ; the value is about 200,0001., exported to the East and West Indies, Chins, Alexandria, Smyrna, Constantinople, Italy, the Peninsula, and the Channel Islands. There has been also shipped from hence, for Lisbon, about 30,0004 in gold, 'Which is ranch in demand there, and c mn- SeqUelitly At a high premium.—ilampahire Independent, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, October 6, (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) IN RE--. Mr. AsurrxsT, a solicitor, applied to his Honour under the following circumstances:—A fiat had been issue d against a person who had been in partnership, and the business was carried on by the continuing partners. The bankrupt, however, found that it was impossible for him to make out the accounts without having the books of the partnership lodged with the official assignee. This, however, was refused, and the present was an application for an order from the Court for the purpose. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he could not make any such order, but the bankrupt and his accountant were entitled to have tree access to the books, and make any extracts they thought proper. It was then arranged that a room should be set apart in the house of business, in which the bankrupt could go through the accounts. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. , A gentleman who assumed the name of Henry Phillips was brought before Alderman Wilson, charged with having on the preceding night, at nine o'clock, taken several ladies round the waist in Gracechurch-street. A policeman stated that the gentleman, who was accompanied by another, attracted the notice of people in the streets by the familiar manner in which they claimed acquaintance with several females, who seemed not to relish the liberties they took, and quickly passed on. The w it ness requested both gentlemen, who were evidently elevated with liquor, to go home, and one of them wisely took the advice. The defendant, however, not only refused to leave the spot, but to allow the ladies to pass unmolested. He was, nevertheless, cautious enough, when he saw that any female whom he "my deared" happened to be in the company of a gentleman, to apologise for the mistake. As he seemed to be getting more warm it was considered necessary to cool him in the station-house, out of which place he was bailed at nine o'clock in the morning, so that he was quite long enough there to judge of its comforts. ' The defendant said he was sure the policeman was in error in saying that he put his hands upon any lady. It was true his friend, in whose company he had been dining out, wished to have a little conversation with the other sex, but he interfered to prevent what he knew was unbecoming steady men of business, and it was while he was engaged in the duty of prevention, that the policeman mistook him for the aggressor, and took him into custody. Alderman Wresoev—Policeman, why did you not se cure the friend of this gentleman ? The policeman—l had enough to do to secure this gentleman, and to save the ladies from his unwelcome embraces. Besides, as the other at once desisted, I allowed him to go on with out any further delay, and the defendant might have gme away too, but he would insist upon going up to the women. When I told him that I must take him into custody, he looked very big, and said he had been dining with the Lord Mayor.—(Laughter.) Alderman WiLsoN—Had you been dining with the Lord Mayor? Defendant—Oh dear, no, Sir. I never thought of such a thing. It is pretty well known that if a man dined with the Lord Mayor, it would not be easy to find him in the street at nine o'clock.—(A laugh.) I was dining with my friend over in the Bo • rough ; and the fact is we took a. little too much. Alderman WlLsoN—lt seems that you drank more, for you certainly behaved worse. You are fined twenty shillings. Defendant—Sir, I thank you very much, I shall pay with pleasure indescribable. Alderman Wtesoer—l would advise you, in your fu ture frolics, not to say you have been dining with the Lord Mayor. The defendant—Oh dear, certainly not. I might have said that I dined as well as if I had dined with the Lord Mayor, but I could not have meant that I had been his Lordship's guest. BOW-STREET. Frederick Smith was charged, before Mr. Henry, with stealing a coat, value 2L, the property of Mr. E mans, landlord of the Edinburgh Castle Tavern, in the Strand. Maria Kernes, servant to Mr. Emans, said that, on Tuesday last, she was going down stairs, from the second to the first floor, and met the prisoner with a coat under his arm going up stairs. She asked him what he wanted, and he said he wanted Mr. Wilson. She told him there was no such person there, and he west away. When he was gone she missed a coat, which had been lying across the bannister, and called out after the pri soner. He was stopped at the foot of the stairs by the barman. The barman corroborated part of this statement, and produced the coat. The prisoner had toad him that the coat belonged to Mr. Wilson, and that he was about to leave it for him. Mr. Emans prored that the coat was his property, and was worth 21. Policeman F 68, proved that in March last he took the prisoner into custody for stealing a tumbler and two towels ; he was then committed for trial at tie Clerkenwell sessions, convicted, and sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment. He then gave the name of Charles Jones. The prisoner said that the coat wa's given to him by a person who met him inthe streets, and offered him a shilling to carry it. 11. was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DRIVEN FROM PILLAR TO POsT.—Lacy, one of the officers of St. George's parish, brought Harriet Arundel, a widow who had evidently seen better days, before Mr. Hardwick, for the purpose of stating her melancholy case. The woman had residt d in the lifetime of her husband in the parish of St. George's for several years. Her husband died, leaving her with five young children, in such reduced circumstances, that she was obliged to apply to the parish for assistance. As her settlement was with the parish GC Nlarylebone, her husband having been apprenticed in that parish, the officers of St. George's caused her to be regularly passed to Maryle bone. No objection was made by the officers of Maryle bone to the settlement, and her case being taken into consideration, an allowance of ss. p er wee k was g i ven her towards e support of herself and family. As soon as the New Settlement Act came into operation, in which it is provided that a residence of five years shall confer a settlement, the authorities of Marylebone stopped the weekly allowance. The widow fell into ar rears with her landlord in consequence of this proceed ing, and finding her children in a state of starvation, she • applied to the officers of the parish of St. George's for relief. She was told that the parish of St. George was exonerated from the burden of her support, as she had been regularly passed to Marylebone. She went to AfarylelaJne parish, when she was told that she mast apply to St. George's. The woman, acting on advice, went to Mr. Rawlinion, the magistrate of Mars lebone Police court, and was then told to make an application to the Marylebone board the following board-day. She went, hut was told to ga away, as no attention would be paid to her case. Lacy said he had investigated the poor woman's case, and had found that she was a very de 4erving object. He knew that her family, all very young, were in a state of starvation—indeed he did not know what would have occurred had he not relieved the poor woman with a trifle out of his own pocket, and had not the magistrate (Mr. Hardwick) kindly ordered her last week a trifle from the poor-box. Mr. llAnnwicrt looked to the new Act, and said he did not find any power in it for a magistrate to interfere in such a case. He was of opinion, that the officers of farylebone took an erroneous view of the new Act. It Appeared to him that the woman was still legally en titled to relief from Marylebone, and he should advise the woman to go into that parish and make a regular claim for relief. Lacy said, if Marylebone disputed the settlement, snd would pass the woman back to St. George's, he was sure the authorities of St. George's would be willing to try the question. In the meantime, however, the poor creature and her children could not be allowed to starve. The woman then left the Court, after receiving five shillings from the poor-box, with the intention of getting a lodging in Marylebone, and making another applica tion for relief. CLERICENWELL. John Lloyd, a cab driver, was charged by the police with being drunk and upsetting his vehicle, whereby he endangered the lives of two persons who had hired it. Police-constable 39 bl,'said he heard loud screams in the City-road about twelve o'clock on Monday night, and on proceeding towards the spot he saw the prisoner lying in the middle of the road, with his cab completely turned over. As he came up, two persons had just extricated themselves from the cab. However, not liking the trouble of attending in the C our t that morning they went away without giving their address. When the prisoner got up he seemed rather stupified, but as the constable thought this might have been caused by the fall, he allowed him again to mount the box, but he had scarcely got twenty yards before he drove the cab 4gainst a lamp-post, and again upset it. Mr. BROUGHTON sentenced lain to pay a fine of 305., or be imprisoned for one month. WORSHIP-STREE T. CHARGE Or STABBING.—Ann Sinnot alias Nance Ruffey, was charged with having stabbed a man named Daniel Crawley. Sergeant King said, that between twelve and one o'clock on Saturday night there was a disturbance i❑ Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields, which he quelled, and he then saw Crawley go into a sort of eating-house of the lowest kind, kept by the prisoner. Presently he came out holding his hand to his breast, from which he, was bleeding profusely, and ran towards witness, ex claiming, " I'm stabbed! I'm stabbed to the heart! Oh, stop the blood and save me!" He said that Nance Ruffey had done it, and after having been seen by a surgeon was conveyed to the London Hospital, where it was found that a wound, an inch and a half deep, had penetrated the chest. The prisoner, on being taken to the station-house, said her landlady was quarrelling with her, and had sent Crawley to break her door open, and that when he came in he threw the meat in her face, and that she must protect herself. A certificate from Mr. Wordsworth, house surgeon at the London Hospital, was produced, stating that Craw ley had a punctured wound in the chest, and was in a dangerous state. She was remanded for a week. Charles Greville, a youth, about 14 years of age, was charged by Mr. Thomas Graynall, landlord of the Prince of Wales, Finsbury•market, as follows: — Mr. Graynall stated that at about 9 o'clock on Monday night, the defendant and several other boys were making a great disturbance before his door. Ile warned them off repeatedly, they however replied to his admonitions and threats by letting off a number of fireworks. Ile then ran out with the cane in his hand and applied it to the backs of several of them, and whilst doing so, ho distinctly saw the defendant throw at him the half brick now produced which met him in the head, and fur a time completely stunned him. The defendant ran off, but was captured. The defendant did not deny having thrown the mis sile at the complainant, but said that the latter was the aggressor, as,he had come out of his house with the cane in his hand and beat the boys, who were quietly playing I in the road, with it, without any provocation whatever. The mother of the defendant begged for mercy. Mr. 1311gal:um fined the defendant 305., or in default, a fortnight in the House of Correction. SOUTHWARK. James Dillon was charged before Mr. Seeker with practisirg a very gross imposition on several tradesmen in the vicinity of this Court. It appeared that on the preceding afternoon the prisoner went into a public-house and called for half a pint of beer, for which be paid with a shilling. The change was given to him, and in a few moments after . wards he said th e landlady had given him sixpence short. Although the landlady was certain she had given him the full change, she was induced to give him another sixpence, he so pertinaciously declaring that he had not received it. He was afterwards watched into two other shops, where he practised a similar imposition, and when he was subsequently given into custody there was found in his possession abundance of copper money. When he was searched at the station-house there were several small articles found in his pocket, which he had obtained at other shops, in each instance having given a shilling, and although receiving his full change, declaring that the shopkeeper had made a mistake, and given him sixpence short. In the course of the examination, it was stated that a number of other charges of a similar description were likely to be preferred against him; and for that purpose he was remanded until to-day. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—EIiza Jarvis, the wife of a wine merchant, late of Bush-lane, City, was brought be fore Mr. Seeker, charged with having made a very de termined attempt on her life the preceding morning, at a coffee-shop in the Waterloo-road. A young woman named Bade, servant at the coffee shop, stated that on Saturday night the defendant came to her employer's house, and, after having taken some coffee, engaged a bed for the night. The following morning she requested that her breakfast might be brought up stairs to her bedroom, and she ordered a slice of bacon, desiring that a knife and fork might be provided. Her wishes were complied with, and a consi derable time having elapsed, and she not coming down stairs, the landlord went up an d k noc k e d a t th e bed room door, informing her that it was getting late in the day. The defendant answered in a feeble tone of voice, requesting that he would send the servant girl up to her, and the latter, upon entering the room, discovered the defendant lying on the bed, holding her right arm, from which the blood was flowing into a basin on a chair by the bed side. The knife which was sent up with the bacon was lying close by, and from the marks of blood upon it, there was no doubt it was used by the unfortu nate woman to inflict a wound across her arm; but to the blade being extremely blunt and jagged was to be principally attributed the circumstance of her not baring effected her object; as it was, however, a deep incision was:inflicted across the inside of her arm at the elbow. A medical man was immediately called in, and he pro nounced that, although a good deal of injury was done, still that it would not be attended with any danger., Acting-inspector Simmons, L division, stated that in quiries had been made respecting the defendant, and that it was ascertained she was the wife of a merchant in Bush-lane, in the City, who had some time since failed for 44,000/. He had absconded from his creditors, and a reward of 3001. was offered for his apprehension. Since the flight of her husband, the defendant had been lodging at a house in White- street, Southwark, and was supporting herself on a small weekly pittance which she was allowed by parties whom she. did not know, but whom she had occasion to believe were friends in the country. Her landlady came forward and said, that for some days she had been in a very desponding condition of mind with regard to two of her children, who had been taken away from h er , an d pl ace d at a boarding-school. Their board and education were paid for by unknown parties, and she was possessed of the idea that her chil dren would be taken away from her entirely. This latter circumstance preyed heavily on her mind. Mr. SECKER put some questions to the unfortunate woman, with a view that she should explain the cause of her having attempted suicide, but she merely said that her misfortunes were great, and that she could not bear up against them. She, however, now regretted what she had done in her excited state, and would not attempt the like again. Mr. SECKER said, that in the defendant's condition of mind, he could not take her own word, and that it was necessary she should find two sureties of 101. each to be bail for her. The defendant not being prepared with the required sureties was committed. THE SUN, ,LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 7, 1846. THAMES PRIVATE BURIAL-GBOUNDS.—Mr. Rayner, chairman of the board of guardians of St. George-in-the-East, accompanied by Mr. George Findlay and Mr. Staples, also guardians, waited on Mr. Ballantine, for the pur pose of calling his attention to the o7ercrowded state of a burial-ground in Cannon-street- road, in the rear of Trinity Episcopal Chapel, with which edifice, however, the cemetery has no connexion. Mr. Findlay said he was constable of the parish, and he was requested, in his official capacity, to bring the disgraceful practicesearried on in the burial ground before the notice of the magistrate. The burial-ground, which was of small extent, was overcrowded with human re mains. For some time past a most disgusting and re prehensible practice had been adopted. The coffins and bodies had been taken out of the graves, which ought not to have been disturbed, and after the coffins were broken up, large holes were prepared, into which human remains were thrown in a heap. Pieces of coffins wt re often seen about the ground, with pieces of decomposed flesh and hair adhering to them. The parishioners were most anxious to prevent any more interments in the burial-ground, and to abate the nuisance, and he was in structed to apply for a summons. Mr. BALLANTINE said he was not aware that he could interfere at all in this matter. He believed the only thing that could be done was to indict the nuisance; and if the parties did sa, they would have to pay the ex penses themselves, for the auditors would not allow them to be defrayed from the poor-rate. Mr. Staples said his residence unfortunately over looked the burial-ground, which was choked up with bodies, and it was impossible to prepare a grave without removing other coffins and their contents. A nauseous effluvium arose from the ground, which he considered to be highly detrimental to the health of the inhabitants. Mr. Findlay said he had teen flowers and fresh turfs placed over newly filled-tip graves to make it appear they were of long standing. Mr. BALLANTINE regretted he could: not assist the gentlemen who had waited upon him, but he had no doubt their object would be attained by the publication of what had transpired in the Court that day. Gnoss PERJURY —Mary Swift, an elderly woman, was brought betore Mr. Billantine, on a charge of having used threatening l anguage , an d assaulted Mary Ann Evans, a girl about fourteen years of age. It appeared from the statement of the girl, that she was in the service of a gentleman named Still, residing at No. 77, Lucas-street, Commercial-road, and that on Tuesday last she gave evidence against a man named Nott, who was charged with having stolen a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of her master. Nott was convicted, and sentenced to three months' -imprison ment. As she was leaving the Clerkenwell S e s s i ons House, where the trial took place, the prisoner, who had appeared as a witness for Nott, and spoke of his good character, commenced abusing her, and said if the pri soner was a husband of her's, she would have her liver out. On Wednesday night she met the defendant again, and she beset her, and used very bad language. A policeman, named Rowbery, confirmed the state ment of the complainant as to the abusive language used on Tuesday morning on the termination of the trial. The defendant said she knew that Nott was an innocent man, and that the girl Evans had sworn falsely against him, and that she certainly did make use of some harsh terms on Tuesday morning, but she could prove she was a mile from the spot where the complainant swore she had met her on Wednesday evening. Inspector Valentine, of the K division, made a long statement, from which it appeared that Nott, who was an industrious and respectable man, was quite innocent of the robbery of which he stood convicted, and that he had been a victim to the malice of the girl Evans. On Saturday the complainant Evans sent to the station house for a police-constable, and said that, whilst she was walking about her master's parlour with a child in her arms, the woman, who had threatened and beaten her on Tuesday and Wednesday last, came out of the bedroom from under the bed about two o'clock in the afternoon, armed with a knife. and, after swearing she would stab her, gave her a blow on the face and knocked her down, and decamped by the front door. The police man made inquiries, but could obtain no trace of the woman Swift, and was satisfied from the inquiries he made that she was at home at the time the girl said she was in her master's house. The defendant was, how ever, apprehended on the warrant previously issued, and on being taken to the station-house was confronted with the girl, who persisted in her statement. While this was going on, a lodger residing in Mr. Still's house found a bundle containing wearing apparel, which Evans declared had been stolen by Nott, and secreted in the chimney of her room, and the girl had that morning signed a declaration that she put them up the chimney herself ; also that the story about the defendant Swift leaving the bedroom with a knife was unfounded and trumped up from motives of revenge, and that Nott was innocent of the robbery she had sworn against him. Mr. BALLANTINE discharged the defendant, and di rected the inspector to make a representation of the case to the Commissioners of Police, who would communi cate with the Herne Secretary 9n the subject of Notes conviction and innocence. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—John Harmer was charged with having assaulted Mr. Frederiok White, a druggist, of No. 45, Gloucester-terrace, Commercial-road East, and robbed him of his watch. The prosecutor was corning home, between one and two o'clock in the morning, and was within ten yards of his own home, when the prisoner and another man ran against him in a violent manner behind, and threw him down. The two thieves immediately fell upon him, and in an instant his watch was taken from his waistcoat, the guard, a black ribbon, was drawn over his bead, and the two thieves decamped in opposite directions. Mr. White pursued the prisoner, who was stopped. The prisoner was Ftatcd to be an old thief, and he had been frequently in custody. lie was committed. (NORTH SUNDERLAND.—OR Wednesday, the 30th ultimo, the sea off this place, and for miles south, was completely red, on account, we suppose, of the " fresh from the Tweed. It was never known for the fresh water to extend so far south before. Several carts of white turnips were picked up at sea, besides great quantities being washed on shore.

FLOOD IN THE T WEED. u f n o c r o fi n fteen with ye th ears, T h e a vi v o in t, g was i.each h e ig d her to The present has been a remarkable year for fl oo d s i n the Tweed and Teviot. On the 30th of July l as t, th e r wtTh-i7hieleiti(iit,fita:-atftdef:be its o f the for celebrated flood of 1831 ; b u t t h e Tweed itself was not so much flooded as th e T ev i ot , which latter was considered to have reached its height of 1831. Again, on the Bth of August last, the Tweed at Eels° Brige, reached to within eighteen inches of the flood of the 30th; the Tweed e.n this occasion was much larger than on the former, but the Teviot was con siderably less. On both occasion s much damage was done, large tvantities of hay ricks, timber, carts, and even sheep have been carried down the stream. We have now to notice a third flood, greater than either of the preceding. ones, which took place yesterday (Tuesday). Previous to Sunday last there had been a good deal of rain in this quarter, but the greater part of the latter day was fair, and even fine. During Sunday night, however, it commenced to rain heavily, and con tinued to do so, almost without five minutes intermis sion at any time until last night. The streams in the vicinity began, during the time, to show the usual effects, becoming discoloured, and swelling rapidly ; and be tween eight and nine o'clock last night, the Tweed, previous to its junction with the Teviot, was nine inches higher than in 1831, and much higher than in either of the cases above alluded to ; and even at Mayfield, below Kelso Bridge (although the Teviot was not beyond the size of an ordi nary flood) it reached to within three feet of the highest mark of 1831. As may be supposed, a considerable amount of havoc has been caused. Immense quantities of timber, rural implements, railway sleepers, and other articles, carried assay from the lower-lying grounds, came down the stream. Several fishing and ferry boats also came down, and one of these, belonging to the person who keeps the ferry at Kelso Ana, was dashed against the Pier-head, near Kelso mills, and broken to pieces ; another, belonging to Captain Fultor, of the Holmes, near St. Boswell's, was recognised at the Pier-head by his name being up on it, and attempted to be got out by the bystanders ; but after two or three fruitless endeavours, it was carried away by the strength of the current. The terrace, known by the name of the Chalkheugh, which is a great height above the bed of the Tweed, and commands a fine view of its junction with the Tevoit, is guarded by a stone wall, beneath which, terraced in the cliff, are small gardens and shrubberies, so that the wall is several feet backward from the stream, as well as a great height above it ; nevertheless, last night between nine and ten o'clock, this wall fell into the green below. A young man, son of Mr. John Murray, clogger, who among others, was near it at the time, fell with it; but, though the height from the top of the wall is thirteen or fourteen feet, we are glad to say he sustained no further injury than a few slight bruises; the houses on the terrace are only a few feet backward from this wall. The garden wall belonging to Mr. Mein, cabinet-maker, situated a little lower down the stream, and at the foot of the terrace, fell bodily into the water; there was then nothing left but the loose soil of the garden for the current to act upon ; and it was fortunate that the flood was then beginning to sub side, otherwise the dwelling-house itself would have been in imminent danger. The small river Eden, which falls in the Tweed, between two and three miles below this, was also in high flood ; the tool house, and other dwellings at Ed nam were inundated by the bursting of a large drain, and the inmates were compelled to leave them.—Kelso Mail. ....APICURE OF A WHALE.—(Extract of a letter from Clifden, Connemara).--" There has been a large whale killed here yesterday morning by General Thompson ; it is sixty-five feet long, and twenty-four feet broad, and it has a fin about ten feet from the tail on the back. The whales about which I have read are not described with this fin." There was lately picked up in the streets of Exeter an order upon the Queen of Spain for the payment of 200/. in favour of Mr. Aberdein, a surgeon. It is now in the hands of a respectable tradesman,' awaiting the claim of an owner. MARKET NEWS--(YESTERDAY,) WAY IVTATZXISTM.

COLONIAL. &MAlL—There has been only a limited business done in Britith Plantation, only 300 hhds having found buyers at previous rates. The public sales have consisted chiefly of 10,114 bags Mauritius, 3,134 bags Bengal, and 1,592 bags 30 cases Pernambuco. The greater part of which sold (except ing the Pernambuco), but went off very irregular from former prices for the good and fine descriptions, whilst the low and mid sorts must be quoted fully 6d to is 6d cheaper, the greatest reduction being upon the very lowest qualities : very low dark to good strong brown Mauri tius brought 32s to 445, low to fine yellow ditto 44s Gd to 545, and low to fine white Benares Bengal 50s to 565. The Pernambuco was chiefly taken in at 41s to 46s for low brown to mid yellow, being rather above the value, but subsequently have been partly sold under the bought in prices. Privately 1,500 boxes white Havannah have been sold at 29s 6d. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 3,646 hhds, 436 tierces, 958 barrels ; there were taken for home con sumption 1,292 hhds, 130 tierces, 274 barrels.

C. is 455. per cwt. on the spot, and town 455. per Mt. TEA.—The market is steady, and the deliveries are good. (From the London New Price Current of October 6.) SUGAIL-To-day bright yellow qualities of West India Muscovado Sugar were in excellent request for the scale, and merchants were enabled to obtain previous rates ; although there was a larger quantity on offer, inferior brown and grey kinds were purchased with more freedom, in consequence of a further reduction in prices of 6d per cwt. having been sub mitted to ; but these sorts are yet abundant. REFINED.-To-day Refined goods were sparingly dealt in by the home trade, and there were sellers of brown grocery lumps at 635, and standard lumps at 645. Bonded crushed Sugar is heavy of disposal-first quality at 33s per cwt. MAURITIUS.-This afternoon 6,107 bags were offered at public sale, the demand was limited, and not above half sold, but former rates were sustained, fine yellow sold at 51s 6d, good 48s to 50s, middling 45s to 475, low 43s to 445, fine brown 42s to 435, low to good 37s to 40s, and grey, according to quality,43s to 48s per cwt.

Privately a floating cargo of 500 cheats of yellow Havannah was sold at 325, deliverable at Bristol, in bond, for home consumption. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon three parcels Bengal Sugar, amounting to 5,357 bags, were offered at auction, and all sold at about former rates. MOLASSES.-The value of West India is 21s to 245, but there has been only a limited business transacted. Bally Khal Treacle has been in good demand at 21s 6d to 225. COFFEE.-This afternoon Jamaica Coffee met with atten tion, and 62 casks 7 barrels 16 bags Jamaica at auction were sold at ftill rates, fine fine ordinary at 53s to 595, fine ordi nary 43s to 49s 6d, good ordinary 38s to 41s, low ordinary 355, triage 30s to 325. Native Ceylon was purchased with more freedom, in consequence of merchants lowering their prices 6d to is, and 2,363 bags at public sale were all disposed of, good ordinary pale at 38s to 395, very good ordinary 39s to 39s 6d, bulked 37s 6d, damaged in the country, bulked 345, sea damaged 25s to 37s 6d, pale sound pea berry 49s 6d.

TEA.-Congou has been sparingly dealt in, notwithstand ing the low rates that prevailed ; the trade only purchase sufficient for their present wants, and there is a fair supply at market of all descriptions. There are sellers of fine blackish leaf at is 8d to 2s, fair to good i s t o Is 6d, and inferior' sorts 8d to lid. In Pouchong a good business has been done, and the supply being small, prices rule firm ; the parcels sold were at 7d to 10d for goad to fine, and Aid to bid for inferior sorts. Of Souchong some parcels have been disposed of, but at rather lower rates. For Twankay the market has a dull appear ance, and prices are lower. Scented Caper has been pur chased with more freedom. For Scented Orange Pekoe there are not many buyers. SPICES. -This afternoon Nutmegs were only in limited re quest, and 6 cases 2 bags at auction sold at barely former rates-good middling brown Penang at 3s 3d, middling 3s ld, mouldy 2s 10(1, wormy, Is 3d. Pimento was much in quired after privately, and 33 bags at auction sold at stiffer rates, viz , good at 4d to 4 W i d, and middling at 3%d. 33 cases of Cinnamon were withdrawn.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDB.-The arrivals of West India Rum have been very large during the past week, and of East India a fair quantity has been received. Holders of Jamaica have been desirous to realise, but submitting to a reduction on former rates of 2d to 3d per gallon, occasioned an extensive business to be transacted in all qualities, the quantity sold amounting to 800 puncheons. Calcutta has been purchased with avidity, and better prices have been obtained: the quantity sold has amounted to the large number of 1,400 casks. Madras in small parcels sold at la 9d to is 9id proof. Deme rara is little wanted, and prices are lower, 3s to 3s 2d being taken for limited quantities of strong. Leeward Islai.d is not offered at any further reduction, but only a limited business has been transacted at 2s 2d to 2s 3d proof strength. The deliveries of Rum for home consumption, and exportation are smaller than they were last year, and the stock is less, whilst prices are higher for all sorts, but the dealers are only moderately supplied. Brandy is not to be had upon lower terms, as the deliveries are yet exceeding the arrivals, but only a limited business has been transacted by either exporters or the home trade. In Geneva several sales for exportation have been made. In Corn Spirits an extensive business has been done, speculators are operating. In English Gin a good business has been transacted. To-day at public sale 20 hhds o Madras Rum were taken in at 2s 6d per gallon. Hors.-The demand has been less active, and having a large quantity at market, there are sellers rather under pre vious rates, New Mid Kent pockets being obtainable at 5/ 14s to 61 15s, Weald of Kent 41 l2s to 51 ss, Sussex pockets 412 s to 4/ 14s per cwt. The Duty for the Kingdom is backed at 200,0001 to 220,000 L At the Worcester market a good business has been done in Hops, but in some cases prices have slightly given way. INDIGO.-The quarterly sales of East India commenced to day, and were the largest ever known, the quantity advertised reaching 21,393 chests, of which 13,000 were i importers' hands, and 8,000 chests second-hand goods; several parcels have not been examined by the trade, owing to the want of time. Before the open ing and during the progress of the sale 1,310 chests were withdrawn. 914 chests have passed the hammer this day. We do not remember so small an attendance of foreign and home buyers, and se uneven and flat a sale. COCHINEAL.-The better qualities a re s till wan t e d, an d fetch full prices, but itt inferior of which there is yet a large supply further declined in value ld to 21b per lb; at auction 101 bags were sold. FRuii.—ln New Fatras Currants the demand has been active, and prices are firm. In New Valentia Raisins there has been an exte ns i ve b us i ness doing, and the price has risen to 455, notwithstanding the numerous arrivals The arrivals of new Muscatels have been very considerable, and extensive sales made, the price being very low. Cocoa.--The demand has fallen off for West India, and the market having been more liberally supplied, a decline in prices of is to 2s pe r cw t h as taken place. Foreign has met with little attention, and 243 bags Bahia at auction were taken in at 32s 6d to 33s for good middling red, 33s 6d to 34s for good, and at 31s for country damaged. SAGO is wanted, but at present no advance in the value has taken place; Sago flour is held for 16s to 17s, but there are at present not many buyers to be met with. For Tapioca prices remain low, and the supply yet exceeds the demand. Ous.—lmporters of Cod Oil are desirous to realise, as the stock is on the increase, but they accepting 261. 108. to 271. per tun, occasioned a good business to be trans acted by the home trade. For Seal the market has an improving appearance, large purchases have been made, and the rates paid exhibit an advance on those pre viously current for all descriptions; holders manifest much firmness. All qualities of Southern are wanted, chiefly for home consumption, but no further advance in the value has taken place, although the supply at market is small. Holders of Sperm are inclined to realise, as there is a fair stock here, and they accept 771 to 78/for good to fine, and 751 lOs to 76/ lOs for fair to mid quality ; at these rates a good business has be transacted. Of Fish Oils none have again been brought to public sale; but several parcels have arrived since this day week; the deliveries are, however, going on satisfactorily, and all kinds are yet cheaper than they were last season. Lin seed Oil has been in excellent request on the spot by the home trade ; but the crushers are more inclined to realise, in consequence of the increasing supply, and they accept 25s per cwt. For forward delivery several contracts have been entered into at 25s 3d to 25s 6d per cwt., but for exportation the demand his become limited. In Rapeseed Oil many purchases have been made, and prices are firm. Of Cocoa Nut Oil the quantity at market is not sufficient for the de mand, and prices are rising. In Palm a good deal has been done, and at firm prices. Olive has been largely dealt in. Lard Oil is wanted, and prices are firmer. Tar.Low.—Prices have further advanced considerably for Russian on the spot, the town and country demand having been extensive, and arrivals continuing to be small; indeed, the stock has nearly all passed into second hands, both of new and old; the rates given have been 46s to 46s 6d for the former, of first quality, and 45s 6d per cwt for the latter; even at these high prices there are not free sellers, as the supply and stock is much less than it was last year For forward delivery a good deal has been dine and at advanced rates. Home-made met with eager buyers, and prices are rising, 44s having been paid nett cash; but there is still a good supply; the consumption is, however, very large, this being yet the cheapest sort of tallow. All other sorts have met with much attention, and brought higher prices, the supply being still small. TURFENTINE.—Prices continue rapidly to advance; the supply being small, and the demand extensive. For Spirits the latest rates paid have been 58s to 60s. Of Rough the market has been nearly cleared at higher prices. Tar is much wanted, but not much is to be had. - - - RUNNING MATCH.--On Wandsworth-common was decided on Monday the match between the celebrated run ner and walker, Chas. Westhall, of London, and Brook son, of Garratt. The distance was half a mile, Westhall giving Brookson ten yards start, and the amount of the stakes was 201. The odds were in favour of Westhall, whose easy victories over some of the fastest runners in England, although at short distances, gave him a de cided advantage, in the estimation or sporting men, over Brookson, who is comparatively a novice. In the first quarter of a mile Westhall had gained the ten yards' start which he gave, and was by the side of Brookson, apparently winning easy. Both exerted themselves to gain a lead, but struggled nearly side by side until about 150 yards from home, when Westhall evidently ran wild 'and unsteady, as did also his opponent, who, however, landed himself first by two yards. NUMEROUS - - AND FATAL ACCI- DENTS. On Monday several accidents occurred, which, from the serious nature of the injuries sustained, will, in all pro bability, terminate in loss of life. The first occurred to a man named William Smith, aged twenty-nine years, residing at No. 28, Upper Marsh, Lambeth, and a youth, named John Wood, aged sixteen years, living in the same neighbourhood. Th e y were employed in painting the front of a mansion at Balham-hill, Surrey, and whilst so engaged the man Smith, who was standing on the top of a ladder, missed his footing, and fell to the ground with great violence, and in his descent some portion of the scaffolding fell upon the youth. The former was raised up, and was found to have received a fracture of the right leg and severe internal injury, together with fractured ribs. The other person was likewise most se riously injured, several ribs were fractured, and his body much contused. They were removed to St. Thomas's Hospital.—Another accident happened to a man named John Trassall, aged forty-six, of Cherr,y-garden-street, Rotherhithe. He was ostler at the Golden Ball Inn, Bermondsey New-road, and while carrying a pail of water from the yard to the front part of the house, he slipped and fell down a flight of steps, whereby he sus tained a compound fracture of the left leg.—The third accident occurred to William Frost, aged forty years, of Friday-street, Cheapside. He was a carpenter, and while engaged with several men i n a lt er i ng a shop front in Watling-street, he fell off the cross planks placed be tween two ladders into the carriage way. When raised from the ground he was found to have received a frac ture of the left leg and conbpsions. He was carried to Guy's Hospital.—Another accident took place to a young man named Frederick Belcher, aged twenty years. H e was in the employ of M r . /ones, tallow-melter, &c., Kent-street, Borough, and while turning the handle of a crane, it slipped from his grasp, and inflicted a frightful wound on the scalp of great length. He was conveyed to Guy's Hospital.—lnto the same hospital was carried a man named John Whitehead, aged thirty-five years, of Green Dragon-court, Tooley- street. He was assisting in one of the hop warehouses in St. Saviour's Dock, when one of the pockets fell from one of the loop-holes and severely injured the spinal cord and other parts of his body.—About seven o'clock on Mondayevening a boy named E. Cooper, aged ten years, whose parents reside in Isabella-street, Waterloo-road, was crossing the carriage way facing St. George's Church, Southwark, when he was knocked down by a cab, and before the driver had time to stop the horse, the near wheel passed over his body. He was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where it was ascertained that he had received serious internal injury. DREADFUL MINE EXPLOSION. THREE LIVES LOST. On the morning of Saturday last the inhabitants of West Bromwich were thrown into a state of great excite ment by the report that an explosion of sulphur had taken place in one of the coal-pits of the late Mr. Horton, at Lyttleton Hall. Great crowds of persons immediately proceeded to the mouth of the pit, which is situated about half a mile from West Bromwich, on the Old!pry road. On arriving at the spot, it was found that the rumour was but too well founded. The most intense anxiety was entertained by the friends and relatives of the miners in the pit, a great many of whom had de scended but a few minutes previously, aggravated by the circumstance of the rush of air consequent on the ex plosion having forced two hats belonging to some of the unfortunate men up the shaft of the pit, and to several hundred yards' distance. Their fears for the safety of the miners were unfortunately realised; and the whole circumstances connected with the melancholy catastrophe were speedily ascertained. It appears that Mr. John Baylis, the " doggy," or manager of the pit, had gone down, as usual, with the miners, to the number of twenty-four men and boys. As was customary, he tried the workings with the safety lamp; and in the first side of the work he discovered an accumulation of sul phur. He set the colliers to disperse it, and shortly after went to the other side of the work to ascertain whether any sulphur had been forced into it out of the first. In about ten minutes after the explosion took place. It is impossible to tell how it occurred; but the probability is, that it was through the carelessness or negligence of some of the colliers, who are always anxious to get to work as soon as the sulphur is dispersed, taking a lighted candle into the workings—the reckless individual pro bably paying the penalty of his imprudence with his life. Its effects were very afflicting. Seven of the unfortunate men who were engaged dispersing the sulphur were dreadfully burned, their bodies in some parts being literally roasted by the flame and blackened by the clouds of vapour. Suspended in the skip, about eighty 3 ards down the shaft, which is sunk to the depth of three hundred yards, were John Robinson, the engineer, and William Hadley, a workman engaged in repairing the shaft when the explosion took place. The hot air, which rushed up the shaft with irresistable violence, carried the skip and the men for some distance upward, when it became unhooked from the rope to which it was attached, and these two unfortunate persons were pre cipitated to the bottom of the pit, a depth of nearly 800 feet. They were awfully mutilated; and, in their blackened, shattered, and mangled remains, it would have been diffi cult even to trace th e outli ne of humanity. Their remains, as soon as possible, were gathered up and removed ; and the sufferers by the burning were conveyed home. A lad named Joshua Cash, about seventeen years of age, was dreadfully scorched. He had been at the bottom of the pit at the time, and was completely en veloped in flames. Mr. Baylis fortunately observed his condition, ran to his assistance, and succeeded in extin guishing the burniug clothing, which hung about his body. He was carried home, but his injuries were of such a nature as to preclude all hope of recovery, and after enduring intense agony, death terminated his sufferings on Tuesday forenoon. The oth er men were also at tended to with the least possible delay. Their names are John Watson, John Smith, Peter Brown, Levi Fletcher, John Wilkinson, and James Waliett. With the exception of Watson, who lies in a very dangerous state, hopes are entertained of their ultimate recovery. What adds to the poignancy of the infliction, is the cir cumstance that, with the exception of Wallett, they are all married men, having families. On Monday an in quest was held at the Star ana Garter, West Bromwich, beore George Hinchliffe, Esq., on the bodies of Hadley and Robinson. All the evidence went to show that there was no criminal negligence on the part of the managers of the pit, and that the dreadful occurrence which had deprived these men o f li fe had been purely the result of accident. A verdict to that effect was accordingly re turned. An inquest was also held on the body of Cash, at the Rising Sun, West Bromwich, before Mr. Hinch , liffe, when a precisely similar verdict was returned. , Birmingham Journal. LEAPING OFF A TRAIN.—A case was heard before the magistrates on Saturday of much importance to all travellers on railways. On the 17th ult. a passenger booked from Allonby to Dalston, on the Maryport and Carlisle line, but instead of alighting at that station, re mained upon the step of the carriage until the train reached the holme near Cummersdale, when, while it was in motion, leaped off 1 The engine was stopped, and the young man picked up insensible, but he soon reco vered, and was found to have escaped with a scratch on the face and a " shake." The train was delayed, in con sequence of the foolhardy "lark," and Mr. T. C. Hey sham, one of the directors of the company, hearing of the circumstance, determined upon making an example of the offender. The law awards a penalty not exceed ing 20s. to any one who shall ride in a railway carriage without paying the usual fare, or without procuring a ticket, and the passenger, tot having booked at Dalston, rendered himself liable to conviction under this clause. He pleaded guilty, and on the recommendation of the directors, who wished to bring the case forward as a caution to the public, the magistrates fined him is. and costs. DESTITUTION IN THE HIGHLANDS.--At Inverary, on Wednesday last, the 30th ult., a meeting was held of the county of Argyll, to take into consideration the pre sent critical state of the poor and labouring population, in consequence of the failure of the potato crop. The Marquis of Breadalbane was called to the chair. His Lordship, after alluding to the bleak prospects before the poorer classes, stated as his opinion that the proprie tors of land must in a great measure provide for the exigency which had arisen; and until each of them in the county had done his utmost to meet the urgency of the case, they would only go to Government with little chance of success. The present was, therefore, empha tically the time to commence improvements on their property, and thus afford employment to the poor. The Marquis of Lorne said the proprietors of Argyll would not shirk the obligations which lay on them to attend to the welfare of those on their estates. At the same time, considering that the pressure would not fall equally on all the proprietors, he did think they had grounds to call the attention of Government to the question, with the view of asking its assistance towards two or three im portant objects. Two of these were emigration and the encouragement of the fisheries; and, as to the third, he thought the attention of the Executive should be espe cially called to it. This was the providing a supply of food for those who were able and willing to purchase it, thereby affording the same justice and favour to the people of the Highlands of Scotland—who, although less unruly, were suffering as much from destitution—as to the people of Ireland. A committee was then appointed to draw out resolutions to meet the case; when, after a brief delay, a string of resolutions was unanimously agreed to, and a committee appointed to carrythem into effect. The meeting then broke up.
