Mr. KE NY°N PARKER, Q.C., applied for an injunction to restrain the defendant, a bottled porter dealer, at Dover, from selling as Guinness's stout malt liquor not brewed by Messrs. Guinness and Co., and from selling it in bottles with forged labels thereon. It appeared in evidence that the plaintiffs, who are the well-known brewers of Dublin,. have for many years past, with the view of securing the public from imposition, been in the habit of shipping their stout to Mr. Moline, of London-bridge (their sole consignee for London and the eastern division of England), or to his order, and that Mr. Moline appoints agents, who sell the stout in bottles with certain labels thereon, which are printed exclusively by his order, and are by him supplied solely to the agents, who are bound not to sell any bottled stout without such labels. It was proved that the de fendant had been detected in selling considerable quan tities of malt liquor, of a very inferior quality, as Guinness's stout, in bottles with forged labels, being an exact imitation of Messrs. Guinness's labels, and con taining a fac-simile of the signature of the firm. The MASTER of the DOLLS compared the defendant's labels with the plaintiffs' labels, and said that they closely resembled each other, and that the plaintiffs were en titled to the order.—lnjunction granted. The solicitors for the plaintiffs were Messrs. Amory, Sewell, and Moores. ENFIELD PETTY (SPECIAL) SESSIONS. (Before Messrs. EDWARD JONES WILLIAMS, jun., Chair- man, EDWARD WILLIAMS, sen., anti PRESTON.) VIOLENT ASSAULT:—On 'tionday the above sessions were specially called for the purpose of receiving evi dence against George Cohen, a gunsmith, at the factory, Enfield-lock, which is under the control of the Board of Ordnance, who was charged under Lord Ellenborough's Act with cutting and maiming Mr. Lovell, inspector of small arms, both Cohen and Lovell being in danger from the injuries they r es p ec ti ve ly received. On Saturday week, about noon, Cohen gave Mr. Lowell a most violent blow on the back of the head with a file. Mr. Lowell was going out through the door at the time, and was for a moment stunned. On recovering himself, while turning round to see who had struck him, he was again attacked by Cohen, who exclaimed, " I am the man, Sir ; lam the man. You have starved me, my wife and family, and ruined us." Three of his fellow workmen closed upon him and prevented him doing further mischief to Mr. Lovell, who was bleeding profusely. At this juncture Mr. James Gunner, acting inspector of the works, with a gun-barrel gave Cohen a dreadful blow upon his head, than rendered him insen sible, and from the effect of which serious results are expected. Both the wounded men were promptly at tended by medical gentlemen. Information was given to the police, when Cohen was given into custody, charged with assaulting Mr. Lovell. On the Chairman directing the case to be brought on, Mr. Clarke, who attended for Mr. Lowell, said that his client was unable to attend, as he was still suffering from the injury he had received upon his head. After a long discussion on a point of form, and after an application of Mr. Dun combe, a solicitor, who attended on behalf of Cohen, Mr. Gunner was bound over to appear to answer Cohen's charge against him, and the inquiry was adjourned for a week. The alleged cause of Cohen's assault is a breach of contract on the part of the authorities, by which Cohen's wages were much reduced, and of which he sup posed Lovell to be the author. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Thomas Foley Taylor, a clerk, was charged before Mr. Alderman Sidney, with committing an assault on a young woman, who described herself as being the wife of a manufacturer of imitation teeth, at present out of employment. The complainant, Mrs. Cromwell, of Brunswick street, Blackfriars road, stated that about nine o'clock on Saturday evening, as she was in Fleet-street, turn ing into Shoe-lane, the prisoner, who had a friend with him, accosted her. He said, "My dear, are you going to market ?" She replied " I am." He then put the lighted end of his cigar down upon her hand. She said, "Do not be foolish, you will burn my hand." Without saying anything further, or any other provoca tion, he seized hold of her, threw her down, and threw her clothes over her head. Her clothes were not spoiled, but she bad a bruise upon her knee. Thomas Wray, a labourer at the City Gas Works, stated that he was present, and saw the prisoner take hold of the young woman, lift her off the ground at arm's length, and let her fall. Her clothes came up and her person was exposed from the manner in which he caught hold of her. She was stunned by the fall. Two women corroboz:ated his statement. The prisoner stated that he was walking with a friend, and had been indulging a little too freely with drink, having been visited by an old acquaintance. He should not have interfered with the young woman if she had not .endeavoured to force her company upon them, and to get rid of her he merely gave her a push, which caused her to fall. He called his friend to substantiate this representation. David Kilo, of No. 6, Hatfield-street, Stamford-street, clerk, said, they found the prosecutrix and another woman, standing at the coroner of Shoe-lane. The women spoke to them, and they told them they would not have anything to do with them. The women per sisted in accompanying them down Shoo-lane. Witness walked first, and the prisoner and complainant were be hind him. He heard a noise which made him look round, and he saw the prosecutrix lying down, and his friend picking her up. 'Thomas the policeman, sa id h e was at tractedsQs s u i a n r g t e a r mn, crowd,a and finding the young woman had been hurt by the prisoner, who was drunk, he took him into custody. by Mr. Alderman SIDNEY questioned the young woman as to who commenced the conversation ?—She declared she did not. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said it would have been more discreet if she had made no answer, and turned a deaf ear when she was accosted by the prisoner, sup posing her statement to be true. The prisoner might not have anticipated what would result from his foolish conduct, which amounted to brutality, and his drunken ness would not excuse him from the legal consequnces. He adjudged him to pay U., as a compensation to the complainant for the hurt done to her ; and 21., as a fine for drunken and riotous behaviour iu the street. In default of payment he would be imprisoned for one month. The prisoner paid the fines in the course of the day. BOW-STREET. A ferocious-looking fellow, named William Norris, was charged with stabbing Henry Figgins with a shoe maker's paring knife. The case was only partially heard, owing to the inability of the prosecutor to attend. The two men were living together in Feathers -court, Drury-lane, and hav ing quarrelled, the prisoner inflicted seven wounds in the side of Figgins, or on two of them being of a serious character. He expressed his regret to the constable that he did not take away his life. This is the third or fourth case of stabbing which has been investigated at Bow -street within as many weeks. Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoner for further ex amination. WORSHIP-STREET. An elderly man, named Riehdrd-Tbeeedy,' described as a foreman in the London Docks, , 'and lending at No. 4, Grove-street, Hackney, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged' with cutting and wounding his wife, Catherine Tweedy, withlutent to murder her. John Tweedy, the prisoner's youngest son, was exa mined, and stated that his eldest !brothir had spent the afternoon of Sunday last.at Epping4Forest, and on re turning home, as the family were about to take supper, his father prohibited him from sitting at the table, as he had gone out without permission; his mother at the same moment came into the room, and, in ignorance of what had transpired, told the boy to sit down to supper, upon which the prisoner started up in great excitement, and exclaiming that " she should die, made a violent thrust at her throat with a knife he had in his hand, inflicting a frightful gash, from which the blood gushed out upon the floor, and she was about td fall when her eldest son ran forward and caught her in his arms. Sergpant Hawkes handed to the Magistrate a medical certificate, stating , that the flesh and superficial muscles of the woman's throat had been divided to the extent of three inches, descending into the jugular vein, and caus ing an extensive haemorrhage, but that the result of the injury could not at present be ascertained. In answer to the charge, the prisoner stated that he was greatly irritated at the time, but had. no intention of inflicting the wound, and was merely menacing his wife with the knife, when he accidentally stumbled against the table, and the injury was thereby involun tarily occasioned. Mr. BROUGHTON said the exclamation -the prisoner had used on rising from the table displayed an animus .wholly at variance with his defence, and he should commit him to prison on the capital Charge, but order him to be brought up again in a week, when the result of his wife's injuries would probably be decided. THAMES. Michael Donovan, an Irish labourer, was: brought 'before Mr. Broderip, charged with assaulting his coun tryman, Cornelius Driscoll, and biting off the first joint of one of his fingers. -The complainant, whose arm wa s i n a s li ng, an d w h o appeared in great pain, statedtly.ei antofinSdust,iday Poplar, night. with his he went se in i3efreshment ;; and while they were wife,ta lking into alk a obtain i to ngobvtbeali some r r i of beer. tip . p r i amert w h o was in the same house with his brOther:an-taw;invited him to drink with him. He declined, and said the pint of beer he had was enough , for him,, on which the pri soner commenced abusing him, and made use of veay bad language. A quarrel ensued, and the-pri soner and his relative both struck him, and knocked him down, his coat and waistcoat were torn, and ho was held down by the prisoner, who kicked him and rendered him quite helpless. During the struggle the prisoner got his (the witness's) finger in his mouth, and began to bite it. He called out to the . prisoner, "Let my finger go," but he scrunched it with his teeth, and before he could extricate it he bit the end of it right off.

SQUARE. LONDON DISTRESSItTO AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT APEDALE COLLIERY.—One of those awful casualties, so frequent in mining districts, occurred at Apedale on Monday last. It appears that the pit No. 1 (Sladdershill) has, for some time past, been considered dangerous, and great care has con stantly been used before the men were allowed to go down it, and commence - their 'day's labour. That these precau tions have not• been uncalled for, and that they have had their due effect, will be gathered from the fact of this being the first fatal accident that has ever taken place in the pit. On Monday morning a number of men went to the pit, headed by Daniel Kelsall, a turnsman, who being a sober steady person was much trusted. Kelsall had been in the habit of depositing his safely lamp at a certain point in the pit, sufficiently removed from the foul air to be considered safe. The .current of. foul air is• directed into certain channels by m.eans- of drop-sheets ; but, on the morning in question, the drop-sheeps were , not suspended as usual, the foul , air had passed the point, and no sooner aid poor Kelsall approach the part with a naked candle—in order to get the safety lamp—than an explosion took place: Kelsall and a companion. named Lightfoot were killed on the spot, and three other colliers were severely burned. There.were about thirty men and boys in the pit at the time, besides others descending, when the explosion took place. The rush of air to. the mouth of the pit was so great that the party descending had the greatest difficulty in keeping their places; their hats were blown off their heads, and conveyed a distance of twenty yards up the shaft. On searching the pit to ascertain the extent of the accident, Kelsall and Lightfoot were discovered quite dead ; the latter had both legs broken, and was otherwise dreadfully mutilated, havitig been blown upwards of forty yards. The accident is wholly attributable to the absence of the safety lamp, and the neglect in not putting down the drop-sheets. We regret to hear that each of the sufferers has left a widow with four young children, and that both the women are at the present time enceinte. An inquest was held on the bOdies lust Tuesday, at the Robin Hood, Roggin-row, before W. Harding, Esq., coroner, when a verdict in ac cordance With • the' facts was returned.

It is proper, fcr the sake of truth, that this statement should he made, but for no other reason is it at all neces sary. Its only effect is to transfer front the general body of members to their chairman whatewr merit the public may conceive to exist in the document in question. In our own estimation the paper loses nothi.ng of its importance in losing the official stamp. The arguments remain the same; the information is not less valuable; the facts are equally true; the resolutions alone are somewhat diminished in their weight by being reduced from a general verdict to the expression of an individual opinion. That opinion, however, will bear the test of the most rigorous analysis ; and we are convinced that the more it is examined, the more clearly will its truth appear. It has been commonly objected to the system of Government surveillance, and especially to the appointment of an executive board, with powers of pre liminary investigation, that either would operate injuri- , ousiy, as a check even upon legitimate enterprise. 'We believe that no more erro.leous notion could possibly have taken possession of the p:iblic mind. That the fear of a searching inquiry into their merits might stifle many fraudulent or visionary projects is ,a, supposition not more probable than satisfactory ; for surely there can be no one so blindly devoted to the non-interference principle as to view such a result with disaffection or alarm. Even the bubble companies themselves, or at lena,t the ge neral body of their subscribers, would feel :he ad vantage of a tribunal which would stop theix• pro gress at the outset and save them from a needless and unprofitable expenditure. To the bond ,fide useful schemes the benefit would be immense. The sums that have'been wasted in Parliamentary expenses by the railways now working, are so enormous, that to state them is to draw almost too largely upon public credulity; we believe they are not less than ten millions. Mr. Morrison's report informs us that, if an account were taken of all the premiums already or hereafter to be divided among directors, through the creation of new shares, and of the expenditure incurred in buying off parties supposed to possess powerful interest, and in Parliamentary proceedings, which alone amount to twenty-five millions, the total would be a sum sufficient for the construction of trunk lines for the whole coun- try. Contrast this wasteful extravagance with the state of things in France, and Belgium, and Pru,%sia- In the first country, the capital of the lines executed 911 the 3lst of July, 1845, was eight millions and a half ;,.• of those in course of execution, fourteen millions ; and of others sanctioned or projected down to the present period, forty-two millions ; making, in the whole, about sixty-four millions and a half. The whole of the Prussian lines cost about thirty-six millions, and of the state lines in Belgium not quite six. The cause of the extraordinary difference here apparent is not the supe rior cheapness of labour or material on the continent. This we stated on Saturday. The expense of mere construction on the French Railways has been, in some instances, greater than that of the English. The real cause is to be found in what may be called the inci dental expenditure, especially the Parliamentary ex penses, which Mr. Morrison reckons in the Aggregate at fifty millions. The Eastern Counties are said to have paid 810,0001. for land alone, being about 12,0001.. per mile, more t h an the whole cost on most of the German and many of the Belgian lines ; and we have heard it said that the Parliamentary ex penses of the London and York exceed a million. With these facts before their eyes, the English people will un derstand at once why they have to pay so exorbitantly for the carriage of themselves and their goods on English railways. The enforced extravagance of the company falls eventually upon the public, who by this considera tion, if by no other, may possibly be induced at length to appreciate the advantages of Government co,atrol. It will of course be said that an enforced reductio.l and a compulsory revision of the charges made by eelsttng companies would be arbitrary and unjust, for that there ought to be a fair return for capital expeeoed. Mr. Mcrrrison has anticipated this objection, ae'd proved by the evidence of Mr. Stephenson and others, as,' well as by independent facts, that a reduction of charges would not necessarily nor probably be attended with a dirninut:on of profits. It is certain that the fares on most of our railways are very much less now than they were at the commencement of the undertakings ; and we believe it is admitted on all hands that in me instance have the di v id en d s b een i n j ur i ous l y a ff ec t e d. :Ku agri cultural districts, which, according to the opinion o` some are more favourable to railways than manufacturing dis tricts, Mr. Peto thinks that low fares are absolutely ne cessary to create traffic, for, as the rural population can not afford to pay high, if they are charged high they will not use the railway at all. Mr. Stephenson thinks that, in course of time, experience will teach the companies that they best consult their own interests in yielding to the wishes of the public. This opinion is probably correct ; but the public may very fairly ask, how long they are to wait? The probability of an evil curing itself will hardly be thought to relieve a Government from the duty of applying remedies, or from the responsibility of neglect. The full benefits of railway communicationcan only be developed by cheapness. It is not the rich only who require and who will be improved by a more frequent intercourse among each other. The?' national interest demands a method of speedy and cheap travel ling ; and it seems to us that sound policy dictat,ls the adoption of such a system as will immediately ensui 'e the desired result..— Times.

SHOCKING CooL.—Most people have heard the story of the Irishman who, on being awakened one night with the intimation that the house was on fire, coolly turned himself, and as coolly replied, " It is nothing to me, I am only a lodger." The anecdote has generally been looked upon as a joke, but the following incident may prove that it may have been no joke at all. One day last week, as the , stage coach was being rapidly driven past a small village between Ayr and blaybole, a child, apparently between four and five yeart of age, was observed playing in the middle of the road, un conscious of the approaching danger. The driver, having given the alarm without effect, succeeded in pulling up just in the nick of tune.. A woman, who was • observed'lazily resting herself against the wall of a house, and looking upon the whole transaction with the utmost composure, while every person on the coach Was painfully alarmed, on being asked by the indignantodriver why she had not rushed to the rescue of a child in such imminent danger, replied, with a look of surprise, and in tones of innocent simplicity, " The bairn's no mine." Improbable as this may appear, it is never theless a fact.— Glasgow Exanzincr.

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of Yunnan disappointme'nts and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physicien any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to he in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the Ilk c advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. • The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

NOTICES OF TIIE PRESS. From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance of distinguishing between `irritative' and `inflammatory' action in determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr. Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro ceeds to show, by argument. and demonstration, which appears to us conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully perused Mr. Franks% book, we can state with confidence, that it ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the Information it con tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed, but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices of the unskilful and the empiric." From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the ruinous banks founded by, manslaughtering quacks." From the London Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks is evidently an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea lousies which sever the peace of families."

(The witness then handed to the magistrate the last joint of the fore finger of his left hand, which had been bitten off, and was picked up by a policeman.) The prisoner, a morose•looking fellow, said, the pro- secutor struck him first, and that he did not strike in re turn until he was caught hold of by him. Driscoll said he did take his part as well as he could after he was struck, and hit Donovan again. Mr. BRODERIP, after observing that as no instrument was used, this was not a felonious wounding within the statute, but resolved itself in law into a violent assault only, ordered the prisoner to find bail to answer the charge at the sessions, himself in 601., and two sureties of 301. each. He also directed the police to look after this case, which was just one of those which might terminate in lockjaw, and then the prisoner would have to answer a more serious charge. The prisoner, in default of bail, was committed. THE FORTIFICATIONS OF THE DOCKYARDS. PLYMOUTH, A uG. 29.—His Grace the Duke of Wel lington arrived here last evening, and is staying at the Royal Hotel, Plymouth. He was immediately waited on by Major-General the Hon. H. Murray, Commander of Forces in the western district. in This t mo o r f n t i h ng e , h ab o o te u l t , I n ia n l d f-p w as a t s n g iu r e e , e h te is d G h r y ac t e h a e p h p e e tt ar r e ty d cheers of the few persons assembled. His Grace was joined by the Master-General of the Ordnance, the Mar quis of Anglesey, who arrived here on Friday in his yacht, the Pearl. The Noble Duke and Marquis being accompanied by Colonel Rudyard, Royal Artillery, and Colonel Oldfield, Royal Engineers, proceeded at once on horseback, to the neighbourhood of the Blockhouse, at Higher Stoke, from whence a bird's-eye view can be obtained of most of the fortifications in and surrounding Plymouth. From thence his Grace went to Keigham magazine, after inspecting which he proceeded across Hamoaze by Torpoint to Picklecombe Point, Mount ,Edgcumbe Perk, and returned to the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, at 3 o'clock. At 6 this afternoon his Grace entertains a private party at dinner at the Royal Hotel. The last official visit of his Grace to Plymouth oc curred in the year 1819. At that time the Noble Duke surveyed all the defences, and made some valuable sug gestions which were adopted. At the present moment extensive alterations and improvements are in progress, as will be seen by the following statement:— At Staddon Point, which forms the eastern arm of Plymouth Sound, a half-moon battery is nearly finished, capable of mounting eight 56-pounders. Behind the battery it is, • ve barracks for accommo dating 100 men, and t will be towers'erected at each end ; the S.W. tower to have five stories, and the N.W. tower two stories; each story to accommodate 22 men, in case of a retreat from the barracks. The towers are from eight to nine feet thick, loopholed, with falling iron doors, ball proof ; and under each tower is a tank, capable of containing sufficient water for four months' consumption. The old battery on Staddon heights has been re paired, the platform relaid, and guns remounted. There is some idea of constructing fortifications on these heights, to the cost of 50,0001. To the west of Plymouth Sound, at Picklecombe Point, in Mount Edgcumbe Park, a battery is to be constructed similar to the new battery at Staddon Point. It is, however, to be more ornamental and in the Gothic style. On Maker heights the barracks are repairing, a red hot shot furnace is erected, and traversing guns are to be mounted. On St. Nicholas, or Drake's Island, which lies under Mount Edgcumbe, considerable alterations are in pro gresi. The left half moon battery is completed; it will take eight 60-pounders, mounted on traversing plat forms. The right half-moon battery will be constructed to take five guns of similar calibre and principle. It is ultimately intended to remodel the old battery on the same principle as the new half-moon batteries. New quarters for the officers and new barracks for the men are erected; there is also a new hospital and ablution room. The old canteen is to be converted into barracks, and a new canteen built. At Plymouth citadel the 24-pounders in the lower fort have been replaced by 32-pounders and six 68-pounders, and a red-hot shot furnace has been erected. In the upper battery the 6- pounders used for saluting have been removed, and 32-pounders are to be mounted, not only there, but all along the southern face. The sa luting guns are nowplaced in a small battery (between the upper and lower batteries), originally intended for a mortar battery, but latterly used as a garden for the go vernor. In a small battery at the south-west sally-ports three 68 pounders are to be placed. The whole number of guns thus pointed towards the sea from the citadel will be 55 32-pounders and nine 68-pounders. Of late years only 23 six-pounders for saluting have been mounted on the upper batteries ; now the whole of the south face will be armed with heavy metal. The upper batteries will be furnished with movable red -hot shot furnaces. Inside the ramparts considerable alterations have for a long time been in progress. The large store-house has been converted into barracks for three hundred men, thus enabling the citadel to accommodate a full regi ment. Improved kitchens have been added with ablution rooms, racquet-court. &c. The bomb-proofs under the ramparts are repaired, their brick-arched roofs un covered, and patent asphalte laid over the bricks to prevent the entrance of water, which formerly saturated the interior. The spiritual wants of the military have been antici pated by a reconstruction and enlargement of the citadel chapel. At Mount Wise, Devonport, the alterations are as follows :—Two furnaces - fir' heating shot have been erected, one on No. 3 battery, and another on No. 5 bat tery. With regard to guns, No. 1 battery remains the same, viz., eight 24-pounders in the general's garden. No. 2 battery has seven 24-pounders, formerly 6- pounders. No. 3 battery has now 11 24-pounders, re placing 6-pounder guns, and on the slope leading to the Redoubt there is a new saluting battery of seven 6- pounder guns. No. 4is the mortar battery. On it are three mortars, one 8-inch, one 10-inch, and one 13-inch. In the redoubt are eight 24-pounder guns ; and No. 5 battery, which completes the list, mounts eight 24 pounder guns ; these guns remain the same, but the car riages are new and of iron. A battery is building on the Bluff, over Richmond-walk Quarry. It is to mount seven 32-pounders. At Western King Redoubt, Stonehouse Point, there are to be new embrasures for two heavy guns, and red hot shot furnaces. At Eastern King (Old Long Room) it is proposed to construct a battery similar to the new battery at Staddon Point, but with much greater barrack accommodation. _ _ In addition to these fortifications, plans and estimates have been made for new works at the Kinterbury pow der magazine, to cost 212,0001., and it is said that in the event of war immense floating batteries would be moored off either end'of the breakwater, further to defend the entrances to this important naval arsenal. - PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY EVENING, 11 O'CLOCK. This afternoon, the worshipful the Mayor of Ply mouth summoned a meeting of the members of the town council, who unanimously resolved to present an address to the Duke of Wellington, provided the same was con venient to his Grace. Messrs. Soltau and Lockyer, the members of the corporation who waited on the Duke to ascertain his wishes, were, however, courteously informed that he must decline the proposed compliment, but that the reception of an address would have been highly gra tifying to his Grace had time permitted. The Noble Duke entertained at dinner at the Boyal Hotel (Plymouth), the Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Clarence Paget, Colonel Rudyard, Royal Artilleky, Colonel Oldfield, Royal Engineers, and another gentle man. His Grace leaves this early to-morrow morning, and will sleep at Apsley-house the same night. - The gallant Commander-in Chief left London and travelled by rail and post-chaise 236 miles to Plymouth on Friday, rode on horseback 20 miles on Saturday, and retraced the 236 miles on Sunday. NAVAL AND . MILITARY INTEL- THE LATE HORRIBLE AFFAIR AT CHATHAM. The county magistrates were on Friday engaged in the investigation of the late horrible transaction at Chalk-pit-hill, Chatham, and if any doubt existed as to the nature of the offence in the first instance, it is now but too clear, from the evidence of the surgeon, that a child, living or dead, was thrown into the burn ing furnace on Monday morning last by some monster in human shape ; and appearances, it is melancholy to reflect, strengthen the supposition that a murder has been committed, from the particles of dress which have been discovered by him in the course of his experi ments. Mr. Edward Steddy, surgeon, stated that on Monday he received from Mr. Moody, one of the constables, a substance consisting_ of coke, coal, and pieces of some description of fabric; amongst which was a knitted substance of two qualities, fine and coarse, which appeared to be part of a stock ing ; there were likewise fragments of net, twill, and calico—the net, which was but a small portion, appeared to be such as is used for making babies' caps. He likewise found another species of fabric which at first he took for skin, but on a minute examination with a mi croscope he clearly distinguished it to be a fragment of twill. From this mass he had taken some calcareous substance, very much resembling bone, the organization of which, however, was entirely destroyed in conse quence of the intense heat which prevailed at the time of its being placed in the furnace, and which heat had entirely converted it into a powder, of which he pro duced two small portions, all that he had been able to separate. He should be led to suppose, he said, that it was the remains of a child from the tact of the fragments of clothes which had ban found in the oven. Bines and Moody, two officers who have been actively engaged ever since the occurrence in endeavouring to discover the guilty party, said that all the medical men in the neigh bourhood had been put in possession of the facts, in the hope that through them something might transpire to lead to the detection of the offender. They further stated that Mr. Richardson, on whose premises the oc currence took place, distinctly saw the woman take some thing from under her shawl and throw it into the fur nace, but being at a white heat at the time, she could not approach very close to it. The magistrates then gave directions to their officers to use their utmost en deavours to obtain, if possible, a clue to the horrible transaction, and at their next sitting it is probable some thing further may transpire. STEAM-BOAT COLLISION IN CANADA. We regret to state that one of those melancholy steam-boat accidents, from which our waters have been hitherto most happily exempt, occurred about 1 o'clock this morning, off Three Rivers. We have as yet been able to obtain but a very imperfect statement of this disastrous affair, but from various sources have gleaned the following details connected with it:—The Rowland Hill had reached Three Rivers on her way to Quebec, and after discharging a portion of her freight and taking on board several passengers, had just left the wharf, and was proceeding into the middle of the stream, when the Quebec, on her upward trip, came into collision with her with such force that the - whole of the larboard wing of the Rowland Hill was carried away. The wheel on that side, and the shaft, were borne on to the deck of the Quebec, and lay there at a distance of about ten feet from her bow. The Quebec suffered little or no injury. gentleman who was a passenger in the Rowland Hill stated to us that it appeared to him as if the Quebec would have passed completely over the unfortunate vessel. The shock naturally drove the freight of the unlucky craft to one side, and thus canted her over, and she began to fill. Some barrels of flour, we understand, were pitched through the skylight into the cabin. The alarm and confusion consequent upon the accident may be better imagined than described. Many of the passengers (and we hear there were between 50 and 60 in the cabin) were in their berths. The gentlemen in the upper (deck) berths on the side highest out of the water were unable to force open their doors, and had had to escape by the small windows of the berths. Many of them emerged in their night clothes. The cries of the ladies and children are said to have been heart rending. Fearing death from drowning, they rushed pell-mell from the cabin, with hairluntressed, and half clad ; those excepted who had but a few minutes before embarked at Three Rivers. To add to the general alarm the cry of fire was now given on board the Rowland Hill. The coals and fuel wood near the furnaces bad ignited, but were speedily extinguished by the prompt assistance of the parties at hand. There bas undoubtedly been loss of life, but to what extent is not yet known. Some accounts represent that two of the crew alone perished.; others that several passengers were victims, some crushed to death, and others drowned. This fact connected with the sad tale cannot be made out for a few days to come. The Quebec checked her speed immediately after the ac cident occurred, and drew alongside the Rowland Hill (which floated down) to take on board her passengers. The latter finally stranded off the Black River, where she now lies. The Lord Sydenham, Captain C. L. Arm strong, arrived at Three Rivers, about five minutes after the collision took place. When nearing the wharf, the per sons on shore called to the captain not to come-to,as there were persons in the water. He immediately laid his vessel alongside the upper wharf, lowered his boat, and went in search of the persons supposed to be immersed. Not finding any near the wharf, he rowed down towards the Black River, until he fell in with the wreck, when he rendered every assistance in his power, and that of his men, in saving the passengers. He finally brought down the Sydenham, and ran in between the Quebec and Rowland Hill, and received on board the travellers coming to Quebec. Captain Armstrong, with the laudable desire of aiding his unfortunate rival, remained by her altogether about three hours. It is difficult, in the absence of fuller information, to account for this melancholy affair. It seems to us, however, and the same opinion is very generally entertained, that great mismanagement or want of attention is attributable to one or both of the chief officers of the boats in question. We trust an ample inquiry into the circumstances will be made, and hope that some proper steps will at once be taken to call to account and punish the guilty party or parties, if any there should prove to be. It is high time that this system of racing should be put an end to; and that steam-boat captains and owners should be made to feel the serious responsibility attaching to them.- 9ucbec Mercury, July 30.
