AN AFFECTING GOOD BYE A gentleman, not many days remote, Was heard in conversation with his coat. " My faithful friend," said. he, "it makes me grieve To think that I'm constrain'd to take my leave. You've been a worthy garment in your time, But now, alas! I think you've seen your prime. And, therefore, dearest coat! I think it best To fold you up and pop you in thy chest. Good bye, my worthy coat I good bye! good bye l" (And here he wip'd a tear-drop from his eye). " Well," said the garment. "if it must be so, It can't be help'd ; hut I regret to go. Of course you'll haste to MOSES for another; At MOSES' mart I've many a worthy brother. You'll get a coat of MOSES and his SON To serve you just as well as I have lone. I'm only one from such a boundless stock ; They've charming coats iu thousands—dress and frock. Cheer up, good master ! pray cheer up," said he, " You'll get another coat as good as me."

DOVER, THURSDAY Nmax.—The Coroner's investigation relative to this sad catastrophe was commenced this day, at twelve o'clock, before Mr. G. T. Thompson, the borough Coroner, and a jury of thirteen householders, in the Guards'-room attached to the town ter minus of the railway. The names of the sufferers. and their respective ages, as handed to the Coroner, by Mr. Way, the station-master, are as follows : Joseph Harnbrook, aged 24, left a widow and one child ; William Gordon, aged 23, a widow ; Thomas Hutton, 52, a widow, and no family ; James Cooke, 56, left two children • John Russell, single man ; John Payne, 39, a widow and seven children ; Isaac Hughes, 28, single man ; John Wilson, 28, a widow ; Edward Ruck, 38, widow and two children ; John Kendall, 24, single man ; William Richards, 39, widow ; and Joseph Willis, 30, widow and two chil dren ; the last-named deceased survived the accident some hours. He died in shocking agony at nine o'clock last evening. The jury having been duly empannelled on the twelve bodies, Mr. Sims, the foreman, observed that before the investigation was proceeded with, he should wish to ask the Coroner whether he really had any power to deal with the ease, as the accident took place in the county, and, therefore, he thought, out of the jurisdiction of the borough Coroner. The CORONER remarked, that knowing an opinion had gone abroad questioning the legality of his going into the inquiry, he had sub mitted it to the consideration of Mr. Sergeant Manning, who was clearly of opinion that he (the Coroner) had jurisdiction in the matter, and was bound to proceed with it. The inquiry was then resumed. Henry Moore said he last saw them alive at half-past eleven o'clock on Tuesday forenoon. They were engaged on the line near the cave. Never saw them enter the cave. Did not know that it contained powder, or even that a cave existed there. Mr. Nash said that, after the Coroner had taken the evidence as to the identity of the deceased, he would call witnesses who would mi nutely describe the formation and character of the cave. Mr. Nash here addressed the jury, and said, it would be found that the deceased were aware of the existence of gunpowder in the cave ; and, according to a statement, which he had reduced to writing, of one of the sufferers, since dead, which he was desirous to put in as evidence, the explosion was occasioned by one of the deceased incau tiouslysmoking a pipe in the cave, and a spark falling on to the powd The CORONER replied that he could not accept it as evidence. powder led to the deplorable result. Francis ; n beinge Coast-guard. On Tuesday last I left our sworn, then said, I am a commission boat man,e;vio service of oft h station at Lydden Spout , near Dover, and proceeded on duty along the railway towards Folkstone. Having spoken with a policeman and a plate - lay er, who w ere on the line, respecting some particu lar thßarnes,o duty, I returned towards Dover, and while walking on the sea wall, near the Shakspeare tunnel, I saw the explosion take place at the foot of the cliff, about 50 yards in advance of me. I felt the shock very greatly, and ran back as it shook me. There was a dense body of smoke, and I noticed dark figures being hurled into the air, which I have no doubt were the bodies of the deceased. Thinking at first that they were blasting the cliff,' ran back to the police man to blame him for not warning me. He told me that he knew nothing of the circumstance. I then returned, and met an old man, who was holding up and grasping his hands in apparently deep agony. I said to him, " What are they doing —are they blowing up the cliff ?" He replied, " Oh, no, there has been an accident; several persons are killed." I then made my way to the mouth of the cave, and saw bodies lying about in all directions, with their clothes on fire. I noticed three or four men alive in great suffering. Two were lying in a ditch fronting the mouth of the cave. They were sensible, and praying God to let them die. I afterwards discovered the other under the sea-wall. The remainder were scattered on the line and about the rocks. As soon as I had recovered myself, for I was much confused by the scene, I ran to the policeman, told him the occur rence, and bade him go to the spot. I then went further up the line and fired my pistol, the usual signal to alarm my comrades at the station to render assistance. On returning to the cave a pilot en gine and some carriages came up from the Dover station, and I assisted those present in placing the sufferersin them.'- , Thomas Dingley, a plate-layer, in the service of the company, was also examined, and spoke to the foregoing facts. Henry Hunter, a labourer in the employ of Messrs. Grissell and Peto, deposed, on Saturday last I was breakfasting in the toll cave with several other labourers. It was full, and the labourers, the deceased, wanted to enter. They were murmuring for want of room, and said to Dingley, as he would not disturb his rabbits for them in one of the caves, would he let them go into the one that contained the powder? He refused, unless they got the sanction of Mr. Way, the station-master, when he would remove and bury the powder. On Taesday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, I saw the door of the cave open, and went in with several fellow-labourers, and drank some beer. There were two small beer-casks in the cave, one was empty and the other had two gallons of beer in it. They were placed in the cave on Monday, and were taken away only twenty minutes before the explosion. When L went in I saw the powder on the floor ; did not think there was much danger in wandering about such a place. Some interruptions occurred here in the investigation from Mr. De Lassoux, coroner for the Canterbury division of the county claiming the right of holding the inquest. Mr. De Lassoux again repeated his determination to proceed with his inquiry on the following day, and left, evidently much excited. The investigation was then resumed; the witnesses who were examined corroborating the evidence previously adduced, and at a late hour the inquiry was adjourned, with a view of obtaining further evidence. The dying declaration of the deceased, Joseph Willis, which was rejected by the Coroner, as it could not be received in evidence, but which gives the cause of the explosion, is to the following effect I, Joseph Willis, make a statement, as far as I can recollect, of the cause of the accident. At a quarter-before one o'clock P.M., on Tuesday, I, in company with others, entered a cave situate close to where we were at work. We did so in consequence of Its raining. and wanting to finish our dinner. Afterwards one of my mates—l do not know his name—took a lucifer-match to light his pipe of tobacco. Having done so, he accidental let it fall upon the ground, close to something black, which immediately began to hiss, and we all became alarmed, and endeavoured to make our escape, during which time it communicated with two barrels which were in the cave, containing gunpowder. I did not at the time know that they contained powder, but judged they did in consequence of the explo sion which followed directly after. I recollect nothing further."

Before the Drawing-room, her Majesty, according to annual cus tom, received, a deputation from Christ's Hospital in the Throne room. The deputation, which was ushered to the royal presence by Sir William Martins, Gentleman Usher in Waiting, consisted of Mr. Alderman Thompson, M.P., the President; Mr. Richard Hotham Pigeon, the Treasurer ; Mr. Thomas Poynder and Mr. John Alliston, two of the Almoners of the institution ; accompanied by the Rev.

THE CoNsoL ACCoUNT.—The settlement of the Con sal account which has taken place to day, is one of the most re markable as regards fluctuations during its progress, which we have had for a very long time. Bargains in it commenced, according to the usage at the Stock-Exchange, on the 4th of January. The opera . . . tions between this date and the 10th of the same month showed an upward tendency in the market, and from about 95% Consols ad vanced to 95%. After this period the scarcity of money began to be felt, and in connexion with the account then about to be settled, a reaction took place, and the quotation dropped to nearly 94%. The account was settled on the 16th, and the price then arranged was 9434. Between the 17th and 18111 of the mouth there was a flatness in the prices which was increased by the advices received from America of a strong feeling in favour of war. Upon this news Consols at once went back to 94. There was then, between this period and the 29th of the month, increased activity, consequent upon the purchases of the Government broker, whose dealings ga ve strength to the market, and Consols reached 95. Fr e o d m ie t e h prices continued to advance, and, witu W e !late date e from America respecting the moderation of hostil e feeling and tions, the quotation touched 95% on the receip t cjltfurtllerintetloll,f,eanrdces the English. exhibited s i fi te gu d on e t t h ,, e ,ee 4 n th u o i f e February, Consols then e the month the Chancery broker came in as a large buyer of thf r ml e l.ll w ch as il m rm a r r i k e e s d s. stock and Exchequer-bills, and the quotation of Consols imme diately advanced nearly 1 per cent. per diem. After they touched 97%, there was another reaction on sales, but so soon as the effect of those had passed, a further advance occurred, and Consols on the 9th got up to 97%. It was then found that the broker had concluded his operations, and the result was, that from that time to the 11th prices Leceded to 96%, and from the 12th to the 23d to 96. Since that date, business having been limited, bargains have been done as low as 95%, but now more firm ness is manifested in consequence of the account showing a " bear " tendency, which has brought up the price to 96k. During the whole progress of the account the extreme advance, it will be seen, was about 3% per cent., and the reaction 1% per cent. At the com mencement several causes operated to depress the market. The state of relations with the United States kept up a gthieral feeling of anxiety, and the doubt as to how the question of the railway depo sits would be settled, hung as 8 4 dead weight on the minds of ope rators. Nevertheless, the danger of the period was over estimated, and the principal losers on the present settlement are those who then speculated for the fall. The reaction which was produced by the purchases of the Chancery broker led many to believe that Consols would reach a much higher quotation expectations.wactual actually T a l t i t a ai e ne in d_, than but they were soon stopped short in their panics, who saw how they were sacrificed in all these ope rations, checked their progress, although it investing is well known that they had actually taken out Chancery Or d ers for an that which has been actually i nvested. The depression far exceeding com mencement, and the sudde n r i se on the at the untant-General's pur chases, are the two moSt cOnspicuous f the tendency has been for the most eatiires In the account. Since then it of money, occasioned by the withdrawalpart doofw're-aidies,osaittidintohneascarfrcomy circulation, has been the theme ofgeneral faint. Theyßank, by extending its advances , partially comp relieved the pressure ; but still the market is in an unsatisfactory state, and the rise of to-day is at tributed merely to the account being against those who speculated for the fall about the end of January.—Times' City Article of this day. THE OVERLAND MAIL.—The Bombay Journal of Commerce of the 14th ult. contains a notice intimating that it has been resolved to extend the subscriptions for the Waghorn testimo nial to that place, and that an agent has been appointed to receive and remit such donations as the local community may be disposed to contribute to the fund raising in London for that purpose. The news of Mr. Waghoril's celebrated journey by way of Trieste had reached India, and given anew stimulus tothe feeling in his favour connected with the original opening and improvement of the route to this country by way of Egypt and the continent. Much speculation is indulged in re specting the comparative merits of the Trieste and Marseilles routes, with some leaning in favour of the latter, so far as speed is concerned ; but all seem awake to the great advantage of ceasing to depend absolutely upon the French Government for communications of such vital importance ; and it is generally anticipated that for travellers the Trieste route will have many points of preference. That part of the transit which lies through Egypt is becoming a source of some uneasiness in India, and all look forward with apprehension to the period when the management of the conveyance shall be taken, as is threatened, into the l'acha's own hands, subject to the powerful influence of French intrigue in Egypt. The existing contract has still, however, two years to run, and it is impossible but that tutu Government must be awake to the importance of profiting s bylt be l interval, in obtaining proper guarantees that t his route become a beyond the risk of disturbance or interference . It has s to its a national question, and every arrival that ta kes p lace a importance. —The Oriental THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON FEB. 20 • Company's steam-ship the Madrid arrived n t h e docks at eight le follow o'clock, p.m., yesterday, and la nded the mails °ptiort., 21 ; in Vigo t and —Gibraltar, Feb. 16 ; Cadiz, 17; Lisbon, a full cargo of fr uit.

This being the cononissionAlkt Newcastle, Mr. Justice Coleridge proceeded thither by an early train - Mr. Justice Patteson remaining to dispose of the few cases still on the calendar. _ Charles Stead was indicted for cutting and wounding John O'Brien, at Penrith, on the 12th inst. The details of this case were the same as those already given of the attack which was made by a number of English men working on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway;on the house of a person of the name of MLevi, where a number of Irishmen lodged. The prisoner was identified as having been one actively engaged in the outrage, and by whom the prosecutor was knocked down and severely wounded. He was found guilty of a common assault. Joseph Andrews was indicted for an assault on James Mooney. This was a portion of the same transaction. The prisoner was clearly identified as one of a party by whom the prose cutor, an Irishman, was knocked down and severely beaten. —Verdict, Guilty. An indictment for riot had been found against John Hob day, convicted yesterday, Geo. Fallowfield, Charles Stead, Joseph Andrews, and John Richardson, but it was arranged, they pleading guilty to the riot, that those not convicted of other offences should be discharged on their recognizances to keep the peace, and to come up and receive judgment if called on. His LORDSHIP then proceeded, in a most impressive ad dress, to pass sentence on the prisoners. He characterised the attack made on the house of M'Levi, and the treatment of the inmates, as one of the most cowardly, brutal, and savage actslhe had ever heard related in a court of justice ; and observing that it was necessary to repress such outrages by a severe example, sentenced Hobday to be transported for 15 years, Stead to 18 months' imprisonment, and Andrews to 12 months. THE SEIZURE OF AN ENGLISH VESSEL BY THE PORTUGUESE. The ship Duke of Cornwall, which arrived yesterday in the East India-dock from St. Helena, has brought home the crew of the brig Lady Sale, of Liverpool, which was seized on the coast of Africa by a Portuguese man-of-war on suspicion of being fitted out for the slave-trade. The Lady Sale belonged to the respectable house of Charles Hors fall and Sou, of Liverpool. and was chartered for Rio Janeiro and Congo, to get oil of palm and ivory, but had not been able to obtain either, and was on her way to Ambrez to ship a cargo of copal, when she was boarded by a Portuguese man•of--war, and seized, in conse quence of her having on board twenty-six casks of water, several .I.lags of rice, a copper, and . some bars. The Portuguese authorities, however, condemned the vessel, and the matter has been taken up with some spirit by the Liverpool mer chants. The crew of the Lady Sale were detained for some time by the Portuguese, and afterwards sent to St. Helena. The authorities of St. Helena sent them home in charge of an officer of the English navy, who left the Duke of Cornwall three days ago at Deal, and nothing has since been heard of him. Tim owner of the Duke of Cornwall waited upon Mr,. Broderip, at the Thames Police court on NVednesday,"and requested his interfer, nee. The Magis trate l eferred him to the superintendent of the Thames division of police, who declined taking the men into custody unless some specific charge was made against them. The owner of the Duke of Corn wall declined making any charge against the crew of the Lady Sale, and said they had been sent home as passengers in this ship in Charge of amide in the navy, who quitted her at Deal. The owner was only anxious to he released of the men, for whose passage he was to re ceive 150/ from her Majesty's Government. Mr. Evans, the superintendent of the Thames division, communicated the arrival of the eleven men to the Board of Admiralty, and also to the Com missioners of Police, but received no authority from either party to arrest the crew of the Lady Sale. Indeed neither the Admiralty nor the Commissioners knew anything of the matter. On Thursday, on the arrival of the Duke of Cornwall in the dock, some partial connected with the ship requested Air. Evans, jun., an in spector of Thames police, to take the men Into custody, which he refused to do unless some tangible charge was made. The crew of the Lady Sale still remained on board the Duke of Corn wall, and are very anxious for some officers to take them into cus tody, and that the question as to the legality of their detention should be tried. It is expected they will leave the ship this day, and put their case into the hands of a procter or attorney, unless the Board of Admiralty order them to be taken before a magistrate. No wit nesses have been sent to Englirsd to give evidence against the eleven seamen. It is rumoured that the mate, who had charge of the men, has either lost or mislaid the papers intrusted to him relating to the seizure of the Lady Sale, and that lila non-appearance at the Admi ralty is owing to that cause. Several gentlemen went on Thursday to the Thames Police-court and inquired after the crew of the Lady Sale, and were much surprised to find that no order bad been given to remove them from tile Duke of Cornwall. They expressed a strong opinion of the illegality of the seizure, and came prepared to bail the men If they had been in any legal custody. We believe a strong representation relating to the seizure and condemnation of the Lady Sale has been made to the Portuguese Ambassador by Lord Aberdeen, and the case is likely to become a matter of discussion in both Houses of Parliament.

SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COMPANY. Yesterday the nineteenth half-yearly general meeting of this company took place at the offices in Bishopsgate-street. The chair was taken by Col. Barlow, when the secretary read the report, from which it appeared that the sum of 210,000/ , proposed to be raised for the purpose of completing the inner dock, not having been responded to beyond the extent of 82,0001., the directors had suspended the raising of the sum required, but thought it could only be temporary, from the growing importance of Southampton. The graving dock was progressing satisfactorily, but owing to the extraordinary demand for stone at the Government works, the directors did not cont mplate its being ready to receive ships for repair until May next. The lichen wharf had been made up to a length of 700 feet to the dock entrance, and a sufficient depth of water obtained to admit colliers, as coal was already an important item of business. The directors had much satisfaction in calling the attention of the proprietors to the proposed extension of the South-Western Railway to London bridge' for which the directors had applied to Parliament in the present session ; a measure of the highest importance to the interests of both companies, and thus enabling the above to purchase or rent ware houses in the port of London in connexion, by railway, with those at Southampton. The comparative statement of the had-yearly receipts for the last two years, upon that portion of the revenue derived from goods passing over the company's quays, continued to increase, being for the year 1844, 4,0181. 7s. Bd. ; and for the year 1845 8,3761, 6s. 3d. The balance on the capital account was 20,6441.88. Id., and on the general revenue account 9861. 2s. 9d. in favour of the company. The total quantity of tonnage which en tered the docks In the year 1845 was 158,680, which was made up as follows:—From the \Vest Indies, 5,572 tons; Mediterranean, 27,997; America, 5,014; Baltic, 1,366; Cape of Good Hope, 1,223 ; Ichaboa, 809 ; France, 39,330; Jersey and Guernsey, 33,474 ; Western Isles, 1,059; coasters, 42,836. After the report was read some discussion took place, in which one proprietor thought it would be better to dispose of the concern to the South-Western Railway, or some other company, for a fair remuneration, but it was not entertained by the directors, or the majority of the meeting, who would rather rely ou the growing importance of Southampton. Four directors, namely, Count Eyre, Captain Ward, R.N., James Rigmaiden, Esq., and J. 11. Forbes, Esq., were re-elected directors, and the report was adopted. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. THE SEIKH GUNS.—Among the observations made in the City by groups of eager piliticians commenting on the news from India, should be noticed the surprise generally expressed at the possession by the Seikh force of that powerful artillery which were employed with such murderous effect against the British troops. This has led to much questioning among the merchants connected with India ; and some of them now call to mind that about five years ago, while Runjeet Singh was yet alive, large purchases of cannon were made in this country by the agents of that distinuguished officer. General Ventura, then in the service of the Raja ; and that, so far from any jealousy or suspicion being manifested by oar Govern ment respecting them, facilities wero given for their transport across the desert, which otherwise could hardly have been accomplished. Others profess to recollect, that as the vessels plying between Suez and Bombay could only take a few of these guns at a time, on account of their great weight, a merchant ship of great power in the India trade was expressly employed to come up to Suez, where they had accumulated in large quantities, and took away what remained. Of course thin service was most liberally paid for, and heavy duties were probably levied at Bombay on the landing of this fatal cargo ; but money was of no consideration with the parties for whom it was intended. The transition from the possession or the Raja, • then on friendly terms with us, to the hands which hay turned this murderous weapon at a most critical moment against the bravest and the most distinguished of the British army, is perfectly ac count for, if the facts here stated are Theyadmitted. painful feelings wherever they have been mentioned, than that of F ill easya vbeinghave too excitedice change rumour, it is desirabl 0 _ clew set afloat, though with no better introduction itzhiterodu subjecte tion should further fr x t- - call for the requisite infertile quired into by those who can M witnt will o b e rest st leastt n o a fo p u i o l e o foundation, instruction, it be to great relief; Bon. If the those in power never to regard with indifference a great export of warlike stores from this country, however improbable its being here after turned against us may appear. ASSOCIATION FOR CLEANSING THE STREETS, &C.-- The Association for promoting the improvement of the pavement and the cleansing and draining the streets of London, and other large cities and towns, celebrated for the second time the anniversary of its formation by dining at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, yesterday evening. The attendance of the supporters of the Society was numerous, and consisted of persons from all parts of the town, over whom his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge presided. There were also present most of the original supporters of the Society, viz., Mr. C. Cochrane, the president (who is understood to have made from his own purse the most liberal advances of money to carry out the objects for which it is formed) ; Lord Robert Grosvenor, Lord James Stuart, General Sir Henry Pynn, Messrs. D. Salomon, R. Lambert Jones, Edward Brewster, Silk Buckingham, Luke J. Hansard, &c. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Messrs. Newton, Sporle, Genge, Crouch, and Edney, assisted by Miss Thornton; and Mr. Toole attended to give out the toasts and preserve decorum. The usual toasts were drank with the honours, and ap propriate songs were sung by the vocalists. The health of the Royal Chairman called forth the long and loud cheers of the csm palsy, for which his Royal Highness acknowledged his grateful feel ings. Shortly before ten o'clock the Duke retired, and Lord J. Stuart took the chair ; after which, Mr. Cochrane, Mr. S. Buckingham, and several other gentlemen, addressed the company in advocacy of the objects of the meeting, and the result was a list of liberal contribu tions, amounting to upwards of 7001. Notwithstanding this display of liberality on the part of the subscribers, it is very problematical whether their zeal in favour of cleaning pavements and streets does not exceed their discretion. As all housekeepers are taxed and as sessed somewhat heavily in their respective districts to the expenses of cleaning the streets, and are, moreover, liable to heavy and pe remptory penalties for suffering any accumulation of snow or filth before their doors, it would seem that the energies of a pri vate society to do the duty of well-paid public functionaries and the great mass of the inhabitants of cities and towns is un called for; and certainly if a society were formed for rousing the contractors to do their duties, it would be a more effec tive mode to employ its funds for enforcing penalties for their neglect, than to coax them into the performance of them by models of muck machinery, or the distribution of birch brooms to paupers. Thee* amateur experiments have hitherto been productive of little or no benefit; and, indeed, one gentleman who addressed the meeting ad mitted that the streets of Paris (in which no society as this exists) were better cleaned than those of this metropolis. What has yet been done, though it may show that the promoters are actuated by good intentions, shows little beyond it. Street cleaning, in so large a city as London, is a national affair, and can be little helped p ii ); w a . few scores of gentlemen dining together, and making p ever eloquent, over their wine and dessert. That she e si e g i t e P of the p funds are col, streets is execrable is not to be denied ; that le niable ; and it it e voiuntary rnntri lected for keeping them in proper order is also: ul u et n i d high time that some more effective measures than such things into the buttons to shame those whose duty it is to see FEB.
