GREAT CITY IMPROVEMENTS. Yesterday a very numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Tower Ward took place at Baker's Hall, in Harp-lane, in consequence of a requisition pre sented to Alderman Lucas, to consider plans fur the im provement of the thoroughfare through the ward, on account of the numerous accidents which have occurred there. Alderman Lucas, in calling the attention of the meet ing to the subject, said it was one to which they must look with a broader view, inasmuch as the funds from which the improvements were to be defrayed were not the funds of the ward, but the Government consolidated funds from which all the extensive improvements of the metropolis were to be drawn. If they were to change the ancient line of traffic, it must be considered that they must have new sewers, new paving, lighting, and watch ing, and other novelties of an expensive nature ; and in stead of having one capacious street adapted to the in creasing commerce and population, they would have two small streets, affording no public relief, and perpetrating a vast deal of mischief upon the inhabitants.—(Hear, hear.) Some years ago, when the subject of the London brige improvements was agitated, Alderman Sir Matthew Wood,who was the great organ of communication between the Government and the Corporation, took care that the well-known objectionable parts of Mark-lane should stand forward most prominently for alteration. There, however, existed a difference of opinion in the ward on the proposed plans ; and Mr. R. L. Jones perceiving that such opposition of feeling existed, said that if the inha bitants could not agree amongst themselves, the project of improving the locality must lie upon the shelf, and so idea of had been shelfed ever since. — (Hear, hear.) The of the Government was to make Tower-street a great street, and the disagreement of the inhabitants upon the subject was the cause of the widening of streets which comparatively required no enlargement, while that thoroughfare was left in its old condition. Those who heard bim knew perfectly well that more carriages passed through Mark-lane and Tower street in one day than were to be seen in Cateaton-street in a fortnight. Mr. BARKLEY rose to propose the first resolution, which was, " that the inhabitants of the Tower Ward, deeply impressed with the necessity for an immediate alteration in the leading thoroughfares of Great Tower street and Mark-lane, in consequence of the greatly in creasing traffic through the confined streets in the neigh bourhood, by which most serious accidents and stoppages on the highway, causing suspension to business, were constantly occurring, earnestly requested that that part of the City might be presented as requiring greater faci lities for the transmission of heavy goods to and frog the docks, &c., and that the Aldermen and Common Council of the ward be solicited to bring the same before the notice of the corporation without loss of time." It gave him the highest gratification to find that the vener able Alderman, who had been born in the ward, was un willing to see the principal street in it should become a back street.—(Cheers.) It was the wish of the first man in the country (the Duke of Wellington) that Tower-street should be preserved, and he sincerely hoped that the straight line, which formed one of the projects, and which would infinitely damage the property of numbers of the population of the ward by making that thoroughfare a back street, would meet with no supporters.—(Hear,! hear.) The meeting were aware that Coleman-street was formerly an excellent street of business until Moorgate-street was built. The shop keeper, who, in Coleman-street, paid 501. a year for his house, was finally obliged, from the total disappearance of business on account of the alteration, to take a house in Muorgate-street, at the large rent of 2501.—(Hear, hear.) The suggested improvement in Tower Ward, to which he alluded, would just be to Tower-street what Moorgate-street was to the unfortunate street called Coleman-street.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. GARRETT seconded the motion, which was, after some observations from several of the inhabitants, put, and declared by Alderman Lucas to be unanimously carried. Mr. WYLIE, after a few words, approving of the unanimity with which the first resolution was carried, moved a resolution to the effect that the inhabitants, viewing with alarm the alterations contemplated in the formation of a new street from Little Tower-street to Trinity-square, which, in intersecting Mincing-lane and Mark-lane, would seriously disturb the Colonial and corn markets, besides destroying a large portion of the most valuable rentals in their vicinity, and by which also the trade of Great Tower-street would be entirely deviated, and the property in that and the adjoining streets greatly depreciated, called upon the Aldermen and Common Council to state such feelings to the Cor poration and the Commissioners of Metropolitan Im provements, in order that some other plan of alteration might be adopted, whereby their interests might not be so seriously injured. 31r. WARD seconded the motion. Mr. TITE, the eminent architect, requested permis sion to make a few remarks, because it appeared to him that the resolution just proposed was inconsistent to a considerable extent, with the former proceedings of that ward. He held in his hand documents which showed that in 1837 improvements in the ward were suggested by Mr. Falkner, a young architect, which were supported by all the leading inhabitants. Those improvements consisted of a new street from Mark-lane to Tower-hill, to be continued across Postern-row, to the Docks. At a wardmote, held in that year, a sub committee was appointed. That sub-committee reported in 1840 to the wardmote, recommending a Bill to be brought in for affecting that improvement. He held in his hand a copy of the Bill, which was to the effect of the recommendation. That street and these improve ments were consistent, to a very great extent, with that which it was understood the Commissioners for the Me tropolitan Improvements were friendly to at the present moment. The Bill was abandoned because it was based on the opinion that a new street could be cut, and the frontages sold, so as to produce a return ; and the report of the committee even spoke of a large profit. He was consulted by some friends interested, and after some in quiry he gave them as his opinion that no such return could be obtained, and that without the assistance of a public grant the improvement could not be carried out. In the course of the present year the inhabitants of the Ward of Tower had memoralised the Commissioners of Public Improvements, in consequence of certain resolu tions passed on St. Thomas's day, 1845, detailing all the proceedings from 1837 to 1840, and craving the assist ance of the Commissioners to carry them out. In that state of things he suggested to the meeting that it would be desirable to pause and to appoint a sub-committee, who might consider all the question, rather than by a resolu tion of that day to negative all the proceedings from 1837 downwards.—(Hear.) Mr. HALL said that in order to carry out the last re solution, he should move, as an amendment to that pro posed by Mr. Wylie, " that a committee be appointed to take into consideration the var i ous plans for the im provement of the Wards of Tower, and to approve of a pre tent plan to be laid before the ward at a future meeting." Mr. Tu.soer, and other gentlemen, opposed the amendment, and stated that they had already plans be fore them, and it was to decide upon the choice of one of the.re plans they had assembled. Mr. Hall's amendment was then negatived by a very large majority. Mr. HOWELL then proposed the following as an ame adment to Mr. Wylie's proposition :—" That in the opinion of the wardmote, it is most desirable that a good. thoroughfare should exist from London-bridge and that part of the metropolis south of Cheapside, di. rect to the Decks and the eastern part of London, over Tower-hill. That it is most important towards the completion of this plan, as part of the route is beyond the I units of the city of London, that the new thorough fare required in the front of Postern-row should be re cpini nended for adoption by the Metropolitan Commis sion, TS, and carried into effect by the proper authorities. That such portion o f th e i mprovement as may be re quired within the city of London is a good street, not less t hurl 50 feet ANid e , f rom t h e b eginning; of T,°,. Wan% on to Tower-hill, an d their wardmote consid er that sluch street should pas s on t h e north side of Barking Chur Ch ; and that this wardmote, while it does not de terms ne on any exact place, earnestly desire that such improvement should be effectual in every way for the relief of the annoyance complained of, and commensu rate s rith the commercial importance of this ward, and the in creasing intercourse and traffic of the City gene Mr. HANSON seconded Mr. Howell's amendment, which was negatived by a great majority. The original motion was then cart ied. Mr. Ntssort proposed the last resolution, which was as follow s :—" The inhabitants of the Tower Ward, having obtain ed information that the Government intend open ing for a carriage way that part of Tower-hill known as Poster n-row, and having ascertained from direct survey that access thereto from the east end of Great Tower street ca .n be gained without difficulty, earnestly direct the att mtion of the Corporation and the Metropolitan Commissioners to the plan for widening Great Tower street, being No. 14 plan of the City improvements (1837), by which it was proposed to remove one side of Tower- street, a small portion of Barking Church-yard, and two or three houses at the corner of Trinity-terrace, by which alteration vehicles to and from the docks of the eastern parts of London would be carried across Trinity •square, a better approach would be gained to the western entrance to the Tower, the traffic would be con fined to the loading thoroughfares of the ward, and the ventilation of this part of the city considerably improved, leaving also the colonial and corn markets unmolested, and affecting in a much less degree than any other plan proposed, the existing interests of the inhabitants of the ward gelieroy." Mr. CHILLI:cc:WORTH seconded the proposition, which was agreed to by a vast majority. Mr. T'J.SON, as one of the representatives of the ward, I assured the meeting that he would give expression to their son.'dments in the Court of Common Council with high gratification. Afi - er tkutnlcs wer. voted to Alderman Lucas, the v& nt:rab!e Alderman of tho ward, the meeting separated. SEPT. 17. —Arrd. 11!anci:, Falkenbrid:!e, S John's, atrti sailed for 'Westport.

THE ,ATE. (From the Gazette of last Evening.) ADMIRALTY, SEPT. 21, 1846. Dispatches have been received at this office, from Rear- Admiral Inglefield, in the River Plate, addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, of which the following are copies Her Majesty's ship Vernon, off Monte Video, 17th June, 1846. Sir, —Adverting to my letter, No. 94, of the 9th inst., I have now the satisfaction of forwarding to you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty, a copy of the report I have received from Captain Sir Charles Hotham, of her Majesty's ship Gorgon, acquainting me with the successful passage of the con voy (of 110 vessels) under the protection of the English and French vessels of war, named in the margin,* past the batteries which General Rosas had caused to be erected on the heights of San Lorenzo, in the river Parana, for the express purpose of obstructing the pro gress of the convoy down the river. Although this success, owing to the grounding of the British barque Caledonia, was not perfectly complete, yet I feel persuaded their Lordships will give the tallest credit to Captain Sir Charles Hotham, and his colleague, Admiral Trehouart, for the able and judicious manner in which their arrangements were made, and also to all the officers, seamen, and royal marines serving under their orders, for the cool and steady manner in which this difficult service was per formed, fortunately without a single casualty in any of the men-of-war or merchant vessels, a circumstance ' which, considering the strength of the position of the Buenos Ayrean batteries and continuous fire, cannot but be regarded as quite providential. I trust their Lordships will permit me to call their attention to the names of the officers whom Sir Charles Hotham especially brings under my notice, as baying occupied situations more prominent than others. Their Lordships will be gratified by learning, that the unanimity and good understanding which existed be tween Sir Charles Hotham and Admiral Trihouart, and the respective vessels under their orders, from the com mencement of the expedition, has continued, without in termission, to subsist between the two squadrons, a re mark which, I am happy to be able to assert, is equally applicable to all occasions when English and French have been acting together, during the time I have had the honour to hold this command.--I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) S. H. INGLEFIELD. Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. The Secretary of the Admiralty. Her Majesty's Ship Gorgon, Obligado, June 7. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you, that the con voy of merchant vessels of all nations, amounting to 110 in number, have passed the enemy's batteries and obstacles in the Panne, in comparative safety. The severe treatment which her Majesty's ships Alecto, Lizard, and Harpy experienced from the batteries and infantry stationed on the heights of San Lorenzo, in their respective passages up the Parana (as exemplified in my dispatch of the 20th ultimo), rendered it incum bent upon Admiral Trehouart and myself to adopt every precaution which might tend to obviate disaster. The heights or barrancas of San Lorenzo are sixty feet above the river, the face is nearly perpendicular, and the ground, from the edge of the cliff, recedes ; a table land, of five or six miles in length, extends from one end to the other, presenting a dead level, with every facility for transporting artillery on travelling carriages to any required point. At the north end of this barranca, the cliff projects and tends westerly, thus offering a salient point for a battery commanding from N.W. to S.E. Half a mile to the southward, a position, nearly similar, had been selected for a second battery, and parapets, with embrazures, had been erected for single guns along the remainder of the barranca; the general breadth of the navigable channel is about three-quarters of a mile, widening gradually from the north-west en trance, with a current of three knots per hour running through. It was obvious that the nicest gunnery could alone drive the enemy from their guns ; the immense thick ness of the embrazures and parapets protected them from a flanking fire, and such was the character of the ground, that even with a spy glass nothing could be seen but the wheels of a carriage or muzzle of a gun. Having carefully weighed these difficulties, Admiral dhouart and I decided upon the following plan of attack, as best suited to the protection of our convoy. That the heavy steamers of both squadrons should anchor and engage the batteries during the time the convoy were passing, and that a masked rocket battery should be prepared on the island in front of the second battery, distant about one thousand two hundred yards : the convoy in the mean time passing at allotted distances under cover of the sailing ships and small steamers named in the marginet Accordingly, being favoured with a breeze from the northward, at 51•30 A.M., on the 4th instant, I made the general signal for the steamers, Gorgon, Firebrand, Alecto, Gassendi, and Fulton to weigh. At 10'20 A.M. the Gorgon opened her fire; and the Firebrand and Gas sendi, having reached their appointed station one thou sand yards from the north battery, anchored in an enfi lading position. The three remaining steamers, Gorgon, Fulton, and Alecto, proceeded past the batteries and anchored nine hundred yards from the barrancas abreast, and two thousand from the first battery. On the first gun being fired from the Gorgon, the rocket party unmasked their battery, and opened a heavy and effective fire, which helped to divert the enemy's attention from the three steamers, who were I passing within grape and musket range. At 10'40 1.7.1. the action had fairly commenced be tween the batteries, field pieces, infantry, and the steamers of the combined force, and the English rocket party ; a channel five hundred yards wide was left between the steamers and the islands for the convoy. At 11.50 A.M. the Dolphin, leading the convoy, passed the Gorgon, the respective divisions sailed by in their proper order, about twenty only remained, when I was sorry to see the British barque Caledonia, uninjured, and with the wind dead aft, run on shore on a small bank off the point of the second island. In so ill-assorted and numerous a convoy of all sizes, badly equipped, and lumbered with enormous deck cargoes, I confess I cal culated on the loss of some, but I had hoped to have been spared the pain of witnessing a fine English barque handled in a sts le by no means creditable to those on board, and grounded without any reason under the enemy's fire. I immediately signalised Alecto and Lizard to proceed to her assistance. At 12.50, the convoy having all passed, I made the general signal to weigh. The Caledonia still remaining immovably fixed, she had tseaten over one bank, and lay on her port side, with her bottom exposed to the enemy's fire, through which six or seven shot had already been put, and the officers sent on that service being unanimously of . opinion that she could not be got off without discharging her cargo, by my direction she was set on fire to prevent her falling into the enemy's hands, and two coasting vessels, simi larly situated, were also destroyed. This was the only drawback to a most satisfactory day ; the arrangements answered even better than my colleague or myself had dared to anticipate. Tho enemy brought iato play from sixteen to twenty guns ; during five months they had prepared heated shut and studied every stratagem to secure themselves and punish us, in stead of which we dismounted some of their guns, and drove them repeatedly from others. We selected the steam force in consequence of the ad vantage which their pivot guns give, and it is difficult to imagine finer gunnery than they displayed. Marvellous to say, that although each of these vessels were hulled and hit repeatedly, and that more than three-fourths of the convoy were severally struck, there is not a man killed or wounded amongst us. I have received every assistance and support from the officers of this squadron, but some have occupied situations more pro minent than others, and I feel it my duty to bring them to your notice. The officers in command of the rocket party were Lieutenant L. B. Mackinnon, her Majesty's ship Alecto; First Lieutenant C. L. Barnard, Royal Marine Artillery, her Majesty's ship Firebrand ; Mr. David 11am, gunner, her Majesty's ship Alecto ; the party were obliged to remain two clays and nights concealed unter the enemy's nose, and they, with the marine artillery and seamen, deserve credit for the discipline and skill with which they conducted their operations, and I consider that they rendered us most essential service. I have repeatedly derived advantage from the ability and zeal of Mr. Henry Baker, Master of this ship, during my ab sence from the Gorgon; he made a most excellent chart of the passage and channels near San Lorenzo, and he piloted this ship, leading the steam force past the ba teries, much to my s3tislaction. Monsieur Mazires, Lieutenant commanding the French steamer Fulton, on seeing the disastrous state of the Caledonia, basteneA to her assistance, and I hope this officer will permit me ito thank him for his uniform and effective co-operation. In all my communications I have alluded to the great satisfaction I have derived in having Admiral Tao houart as a colleague ; dun ng eight months we have . _ acted together, and I make bola to say that more perfect harmony and unanimity has nt-rver existed than between the two commanding officers, tc, whom yourself and Ad miral Lain entrusted the direction of the service in the Parana.—l have, &c., (Signed) CHAS.

FEARFUL RAILWAY ACCID SPIT.—AS the nine P.M. tin was leaving Rugby statio.n :for Leicester, on Satur- day last, an engine belonging to the London and North- Western R Lilway Company was . standing below the points at which the Midland li ae di verges from the for mer ; no sooner had the eiy?,•ine and tender passed the points, than the engine -driver •.)f the London and North- Western Company turned on his steam, and the result was that the engine ran into the train before it had cleared the line, broke fur S.! the carriages, throwing them off the rails, and tearing - - op the latter for some distance, whilst several of the I as ;angers were seriously shaken and bruised. Mr. llud; ;on,. the chairman to the Midland Company, but better lin ; ovn as the "Railway King," was in one of the carriage; ;, but escaped unhurt. Assistance was promptly rendore d to the sufferers, to whom every attention was paid 1 )y the officials of the London and North-Western C om pany, and, after a de tention of about an hour, the p assengers were placed in carriages belonging to the batter company, and for warded on their journey. The ~ g uard was so seriously injured that he was obli g ed to toe left behind. We un derstand that the engine driver, ithrough whose careless ness the accident occurred, will la ndergo an examinati9ll before the magistrate. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, SEPT. 11.—On Monday a court-martial was held on board her Majesty's ship Tyne, for the trial of William Johnson, David Douglas, and Charles Wright, engineers of her Majesty's steamer Hecla, the first for contempt and disobedience of orders to his captain, Duffil, in refusing to send a forge on deck for the use of the ship without a written order from the captain, and on being placed in arrest turning sneeringly round and saying, " I thank you, sir, very much;" the last two for refusing to take charge of the engine-room and engines when Johnson was put under arrest. The charges were fully proved, and Johnson was sen tenced to be mulct of his pay and allowances due to the day of sentence, to be dismissed the Hecla, and reduced to the rank of second engineer for 12 months, with a re commendation to the Admiralty to reinstate him, should his conduct be good during that time. Douglas was acquitted, owing to an informality in his description. Wright was sentenced to be mulct of pay due, and to remain a second engineer, without being able to advance, for 12 months. The Hecla went to Tripoli to day with Mr. Crowe, the new consul. The Fantome went out yesterday with provisions for the Inconstant at Beyrout. The Indian mails are daily expected.

Dundas, M.P., C. 8., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, calling upon the lieutenants upon the active list to state if they are prepared to serve at sea, or would prefer the Coast Guard appointments. This would appear like prepara tions for organising an available force for an emergency. Much dissatisfaction is expressed at the manner in which the new China medal has been executed. The medal is of silver, but the receptacle for the riband, a conspicuous feature in the honour, is of uMata or Ger man metal. Thus, whilst the medallion looks bright and respectable, the clasp presents a dingy, brassy ap pearance. We yesterday saw twenty medals lying upon the counter of a silversmith in this borough, which had been sent by various officers to have silver substituted for the spurious metal, which entails an expense upon their purses of about 16s. each. Such is the manner in which bravery is rewarded. The Echo steam-tug took down yesterday to Cowes a capstan and hawsers for the Ajax steam guard-ship, in tended to be floated out of dock at Cowes on Tuesday. The Moozuffer, Captain Ethersey, I. N., a very fine handsome steam-frigate, recently launched, belonging to the fleet of the Hon. the East India Company, arrived on Friday at Spithead, under sail alone, in most beauti ful style. It would seem that while the royal dockyards turn out steam-vessels of the most inefficient descrip tion, the merchant builders achieve the most enviable excellence in that all-important branch of naval archi tecture. The Moozuffer is a beautiful sample, built by Fletcher and Co., of Limehouse, with beam engines by Seawark and Capel. She is 250 feet long; 37 feet beam outside the wales; 1,444 k tons burden; has a comple ment of 180 ; mounts two 68 and four 32- pounders, and is 500 horse power. Her funnel and paddle-wheels are unshipped, as she proceeds to Bombay under sail alone, brig-rigged. The Helena, 16, Commander Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, was in the Moaambique Channel on her passage thence to the Cape on the 25th of June. Fever and dysentery were raging on board, and had been fearfully prevalent. Eleven of the crew had died, and at the above date forty three were on the sick list; the infection, however, was subsiding. Sir Cornwallis had himself been attacked, and the ship had for a fortnight been worked and commanded by the first lieutenant, Mr. Phillips. At one time, we are informed, only fifty-seven of the crew were fit for duty, the commander, two lieutenants, and master at the same time being sick. Only four of the officers had escaped. The Cygnet, 6, Commander Layton, was at Loando on the 15th of June, at which time Commander Mon ti6sor had not arrived to supersede Commander Layton. Four of the slaver prizes, out of 17 taken by the Cygnet, had turned out blanks in adjudication. The Abo, Russian store-ship, saluted the Commander in-Chief this morning soon atter eight o'clock, with 17 guns, which was returned immediately by the Victory, with Sir Charles Ogle's flag temporarily suspended at the main. She also exchanged salutes with the garrison this afternoon. The Adventure, naval transport, arrived this morning, with stores, from the eastward. A temporary cessation of the traffic between this place and Gosport was occasioned yesterday by one of the chains of the floating bridge breaking between four and live o'clock in the afternoon, when the bridge was in the centre of the passage ; the passengers, &c., were obliged to be removed in boats at the expanse of the bridge pro - prietors. It was very fortunate no large vessels required to pass in or out during the time the obstruction lasted, which was removed at ten this morning. The Cambrian, 36, was undocked (having bad a thorough repair) this morning. Tne master of the Victory, Mr. Flynn, and his party of men, who took the Rifleman steam-gun-vessel to Woolwich for her engines, returned by train from Lon don this evening. The Comet, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Johnston, arrived at Cork from Waterford on the even ing of the 17th inst. The squadron of evolution were not expected there. The Madagascar, store -ship, Master-Commander Burney, and the Dee, steam-trans port, Master-Commander Driver, were in harbour at Cove when the Comet arrived. The Stromboli, steam sloop, Commander Fisher, left Cork for the Shannon with grain on the 16th. The Dec was about to ship a similar cargo. The Comet landed at the Custom-house 40 boxes of specie, each box containing, in crowns, half crowns, shillings, and sixpences, 5001. sterling. Between five and six o'clock on Friday morning she left for Tralee, whence she would proceed to Limerick, Galway, Sligo, and Westport, disembarking at each port money, &c., for the relief of the prevailing distress. Wooewrcer.—ln the latter part of the Parliamentary session of 1845 a Bill was brought in and passed into a law, empowering the Admiralty and Board of Ordnance to take, without any previous sessional notice, as was formerly the case, any quantity of ground that might be required for the service of the army and navy, or for naval and military works contemplated to be constructed in the United Kingdom. This Bill was framed to meet the difficulties which had occurred in the attempt to ob tain a better practice-ground in the marshes at Wool wich; and, although that object has not yet been ac complished, in consequence of other localities having been suggested, the powers of the Bill have been made available in introducing very important improvements and additions to Woolwich dockyard. The whole of the buildings on the north side of George-street, Woolwich, leading on the Gr eenw i c h roa d f rom t h e residence of the captain-superintendent of the dockyard to the large chimney of the foundry has been valued by a jury, and the amounts decided on paid to the proprietors, and in the course of the present week the dwelling-houses will be sold for the value of the old bricks, the whole cleared off immediately, and the walls of the dockyard extended so as to enclose the newly-acquired property. From what has transpired since the visit of Fi e ld-M arshal the Dukeof Wellington,Commander- in-Chief,andGeneral the Marquis of Anglesey, Master-General of the Ordnance to the fortifications at Tilbury Fort, Sheerness, and Chatham, it is contemplated that Woolwich will be made the greatest, as it is certainly will be the securest, naval depot in this kingdom or in the known world. In order to extend the resources and accommodation of the Wool wich dockyard, a jury has been summoned to decide upon the value of the marshy ground on the west side of Charlton pier, extending as far us the manor-way on the Greenwich side of the dockyard, for the purpose of form ing a basin capable of containing ships and steam-vessels of the first class, for which the place is admirably adapted, the depth along shore on the Kent side being fifteen feet, at low water, close to the land. Thi,; spot would ha the most. eligible of any in the country, from 91e facilitiee it possesses of receiving ships in ordinary, instead of allowin g so man y o f t h em to rema i n exposed, as is the case when moored is the Medway. It will be recollected that several of the French steamers of war visited Sh eerness l ast year without any pre vious announcement of their visit, and after a short stay returned to Treport, where the King of the French decorated with his own hand several .of the non-commissioned officers on board the steamers with the cross of the Legion of Honour, in consequence, it was surmised at the ti me , o f t h e manner in which the vessel bad arrived at Sheerness, and the satisfactory re ports of the voyage.

Under these circum stances Woolwich possesses immense advantages, owing to the vicinity of the dockyard to the garrison, and the great resources of every description at the head-quarters of the Royal Artillery. It was no doubt desirable to select the Medway as an eligible situation for ships in ordinary, beforo the introduction of steam navigation; but since the introduction of that power, and the facili ties with which ♦essels of the first rate can be towed to the Downs from Woolwich, the advantages and security of the latter naval depot are unquestionable, and have attracted a great share of attention oa the part of the authorities, who appear now to be actively engaged in the adoption of measures which cannot fail to be of the utmost importance to the country.

[Dividends, &c , in our Next.] NVORM:ATIONS UNDER THE FACTORY ACT.—On Monday last Mr. George Foster, of Horbury, manufac turer, was charged before J. F. Carr and 'l'. H. Mar shall, E sqs., at the Court-house, Wakefield, by Mr. Bates, th a sub-inspector of factories, with neglecting to perform oemain duties enacted by the Factory Acts. The first itlft trmation against Hr. Foster was under the 21st section .of the Act, which orders that the machinery shall be pro] terly fencod off to prevent accidents. The magistrates inflicted upon the defendant the mitigated penalty o f 5. 1. The second charge against Mr. Foster was for e , nridoying a woman named Tamar Hept.onstall near the machinery not fenced off, and which he had been circle red to do by the inspector, from which neglect the poor woman had been seriously injured, from her clothes g ttting entangled in the machinery. The magis trates cm tsidered the case to be a flagrant one, and, as it proceedei l from the neglect of the defendant, they would inflict a p enalty of 20/. Mr. Samuel Lee, of Thornes hint., kefield, manufacturer, was charged by Mr. L'ates wit: i having employed four children without sur geon's cer as directed by the 11th section of the Act of Wi !limn IV., and also with employing the same children tif :fore being duly la gistered.

On Monday afternoon, Mr. Charles Green made his last ascent this season from the above gardens, in the "Nassau Balloon." The unusually fine weather of the present season has not been allowed by the proprietors to pass unheeded; the public have therefore, at short intervals, been presented in rapid succession, with a 1 fresco breakfasts, balloon ascents, Ws champetres, &c. The announcement, that on Monday evening's accent would be the last made by Mr. Green for some time, succeeded in attracting vast crowds to the gardens, which were at an early hour thronged to excess by a very respectalsle company, who appeared highly de lighted with the process of inflating the balloon, which was performed through the medium of the huge dry gas meter. At about five o'clock, all the preparations having been satisfactorily concluded, Mr. Green entered the car, and the balloon was allowed to ascend into the regions of air. The wind blew somewhat strongly from the east; the balloon was therefore soon lost to the view of the gratified spectators assembled in the gardens. Mr. Green was accompanied in his serial voyage by eight of his friends. The ascent of the balloon was immediately followed by a grand promenade concert, a la Afusard. We have before alluded to the excellent manlier in which the music it given here. The performance last night was in no way inferior to that of former occasions. Among the pieces given by the band were, overture, Masaniello ; introduc tion and waltz, Bohemian Girl; fantasia, "The Night Patrol ;" and, for the first time, the " Warsaw Polka." In the vocal concert which was given several songs met with much applause. There were, " Wanted a Gover ness," "All, why do we love?" " Tyrant, soon I'll burst thy chains;" " The Gondolette;" " Ladies' chit-chat," &c. The performances in the theatre consisted of Mr. Cowell's " Yankee Entertainment," a favourite dance by Miss Parkes, and the never-tiring evolutions of M. Corvi's monkeys, dogs, and goats. After these varied entertainments dancing was commenced with much spirit on the Parisian platform and in the ball-room. During, the dancing the orchestra performed the following fa vourite music:—" The Sylphide, Bayadere, and Cre morne Polkas;" " The Nino Quadrilles;" " The Ibra him Pacha Quadrilles;" " The Heidelberg Quadrilles," &c. The performances terminated about midnight with a grand display of fireworks. MARYLEBONE REGISTRATION. At eleven o'clock yesterday morning the REVISING BARRISTER took his seat upon the bench, when he in quired if Mr. Laudet, whose vote had been objected to by Mr. Greenwood on Monday, was present? Mr. Laudet appearing, the REVISING BARRISTER in quired whether he had made any application to the late collector, from the 6th of April up to the time of his death? Mr. Laudet replied in the negative. The REVISING BARRISTER said there was an interval of six weeks, during which he could have tendered pa) - ment. This appeared to him to be a neglect on the part of Mr. Laudet. The law held persons responsible when there was a possibility of their complying with its provisions. In reply to Mr. Moylan, Mr. Laudet stated that he had called at the house of the collector a day or two after his death, and tendered the amount of his taxes. At the time he did so he was aware of his death, but he was under the im pression, as were a great many others, that as his books must necessarily be in the hands of the executors, a tender of the amount to them would prevent him from being disfranchised. The lady whom he saw at Mr. Northcote's, the late collector, referred him to Mr. Laudet, but that gentleman had not then been appointed, nor was he, until an application had been made to Sir James Graham, and subsequently to Lord John Russell, by a large body of the parishioners. Were it not for this application 1,500 persons would have been disfranchised, because Mr. Laudet accepted the office six or seven days sooner than it was otherwise determirred, in order that such a lapse should not occur on the registry. The REVISING BARRISTER inquired whether there were many votes likely to be disputed under the same circumstances as that of Mr. Laudet ? Mr. Laudet—Very few ; he believed only that of Mr. Crickinay, which was decided yesterday. The REVISING BARRISTER said it appeared that Mr. Laudet bad nearly two months to pay Mr. North cote, the late collector, and having neglected to do so, the law could not be strained to enfranchise him, although it might be the custom not to pay at so early a period. It also was evident that he had ten days be tween the appointment of the new collector and the last day for making the payment ; and although it appeared that no formal application had been made to him for the tax, still that was no excuse for his not complying of his own act with the provisions of the statute. Under all the circumstances of the case he felt bound to strike the name off the registry. Mr. Ivimey applied to know whether the Couri would admit of an appeal. The REVISING BARRISTER said the whole case hinged upon a mere matter of tact—whether the taxes were paid—without at all involving any point of law ; and he therefore considered that he would be leaving him self open to a rebuke in the Court of Common Pleas if he were to consent to an appeal. LTTERATURE. THE PENSCELLWOOD PAPP:4LS: 2 Vols. Considerable research has been expended upon these singular essays. Almost everybody has read " Dr. hook well," and hence we are persuaded that almost everybody will read the "Penscellwood Papers," seeing that they are from the pen of the • same accomplished and ingenious writer. For these reasons, therefore, we are most solicitous that the first article in the two volumes under notice may be perused simply as a literary curiosity, that the reader may not be cajoled (or rather fascinated) into an erroneous belief merely by a few clever conceits, that the composition may be regarded simply as a game at logic, and not as the serious advocacy of an ethical theory. The purport of the disquisition in question is fully explained in its very title—" On the Future Life and Souls of Animals." No debating society has, perhaps, ever been established in which the question has not been broached whether animals are endowed with reason or instinct. And every one who has erer heard that question contended knows that very adroit arguments may be advanced in sup port of the former as well as in favour of the latter opinion. Until the debater, however, can by a spon taneous metempsychosis transfer his intelligence into the carcase of a pig, or a dog, or some other animal, he can never demonstrate to himself, beyond all cavil, whether the sentience of an animal is the sentience of reason or the sentience of instinct. 11'e must con sequently, in default of this impossible demonstration, revert to the fundamental part of religion—Faith. Christianity is always right wherever and whenever merely human intelligence is at fault. If we were red Indians we might unquestionably coincide with the author of these volumes in anticipating the future existence of animals, and even expect to be accom panied by our favourite dog to the great hunting ground beyond the grave. But being as we are, we can look upon man as the only creature endowed with higher or reasoning faculties, and as alone destined to enjoy life hereafter. That mysterious draughtsman Blake once drew the portrait of the ghost of a flea, as it appeared to him in one of his visions, and which portrait we remember t o h ave seen recently. Some what as authentic and conclusive is the testimony of the future existence of animals given by the author of the " Penscellwood Papers." Nevertheless we are not inclined to argue this matter seriously, but rather take his lucubration as it was doubtless intended to be taken namely, as a quai n t an d agreea bl e eccen tricity. It is quite a vaudeville of metaphysics. As it may possibly tend, moreover, to enforce those sen timents of tenderness to the dumb creation which are incorporated in Martin's Act, the effusion is accept able. The retention or abolition of "Capital Punish ments" is the theme of the second paper, and, while it evinces considerable talent in endeavouring to emphasise a principle it is animated by a very winning earnestness. It will be examined with peculiar interest at this moment. The remaining portions of the second volume are of equal merit with the pre ceding; and we would especially direct attention to the observations upon " The Established Church," and " The Education of the People." What we would particularise as the most striking and com mendable characteristics of this work are—a great freshness of manner, a singular originality and freedom of thought, and a most genuine and honour able benevolence of tone. For these features " The Penscellwood Papers" will he admired, and the author respected. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. - (From the London New Price Current of September 22.) SuGatt.—To-day there was a strong desire manifested by grocers and refiners to operate in West India Muscovado Sugar of every description, and although there was an in creased quantity brought to market, still merchants were enabled to obtain an advance on the rates of Friday of 6d per cwt. for the parcels disposed of by private treaty ; indeed at a public sale of 324 hhds 15 trs and 76 barrels of Jamaica the rise was 6,1 to Is. REFINED —To day Refined goods were much in demand for home consumption, and prices are still rising —brown lumps selling at 63s to 645, and standard lumps at 64s Gd to 65s per cwt. Crushed Sugar for exportation was largely dealt in at 335. per cwt for first quality. MAtertmus.—This afternoon, at public sale, 179 bags were sold at rather higher rates—middling yellow fetching 48s 6d, low greyish 43s 6d to 445, and washed 43a to 44s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—This afternoon Manilla Sugar was purchased with more freedom, and 5,990 bags at auction were all sold at an advance on former rates of Gd to is for the better quali ties: whilst inferior and brown sorts sustained the former valua. Of China 900 boxes were sold at 49s for middling soft white; privately only a limited business was transacted in yellow Havannah at 24s 9d for fine quality ; the quantity sold was 900 chests. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the public sales of Bengal Sugar, consisting of 3,718 bags, went off briskly at an ad vance on former rates of Gd to Is. Of Madras 7,302 bags were sold at auction at 35s 6d to 43s 6d for damp. COFFEE—This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind of Coffee, but large parcels are declared. Privately ex porters and the home trade operate with caution, and holders experienced difficulty in supporting prices —good ord Native Ceylon was obtainabl e a t 39 s 6d per cwt. TEA.—lmporters of Black are unwilling to further reduce their prices, but there has been no increase in the demand, the trade only purchasing sufficient for their immediate wants; cheap as all sorts are, common Congou for cash only being worth 8d to Sid, and good common 9d to 9id per lb cash. The value of low to fine Pouchong is 3d to 9d. Of all descriptions there is a fair quantity on offer. Although Green can be obtained upon rather lower terms, still few purchases have been made in any kind, and the market is well supplied, especially with common and middling kinds. Public sales are announced to take place on Thursday. SPICES.—To-day Black Pepper was only in limited re quest privately, and 1,873 bags of Penang at auction were taken in at 2id to 2ad for good but rather stalky and dusty, being rather above the value, but the sea damaged sold at 2id to 2id; 81 bags White were taken in at 3d for mid dling, but two lots of damaged sold at 3id : 83 barrels Ja maica Ginger went at stiffer rates; 84 cases 83 bags culti vated Bengal sold at 24s to 26s for low, and at 29s to 31s for middling, which is rather dearer. SPIIIITS.—Jamaica Rum is not offered upon lower terms, although the demand has been limited ; for low and mid dling sorts, however, 38 6d to 3s 9d. and for good to fine 3s 10d to 5s per gallon are the rates insisted upon—there is not a large quantity on offer, and that a brisker demand will take place shortly there is every prospect, as stocks in second hands are small, and there being a large consumption going on. Leeward Island is little wanted, and prices are rather lower. Although Calcutta can be obtained at Is 10d to is lld proof with certificate, still few buyers are to be met with, and the supply is getting larger. Demerara has been sparingly dealt in. For Leeward Island prices are 5d to 6d, for Jamaica 9d to Is, and for Calcutta 3d to 4d per gallon above those of last season. Brandy has been in ex tensive request, and prices are still looking up; the stock is on the decrease, and the consumption going on largely. Geneva has been in brisk demand. For British Corn Spirits prices are still rising. Isuico.—To-day there was an increased desire manifested to operate in East India, in consequence of the unfavourable accounts come to hand from Calcutta, relative to the crop, the estimate being only 85,000 to 90,000 maunds. Several purchases were made, and at prices showing an advance on those of the last quarterly sale of 3d to 4d per lb. Mer chants evinced much firmness, and several declined to sell at present. Fiturr.—New Patras Currants have been selling at 565. Valencia Raisins are much wanted at the opening price of 42s_, but; the rnark Q t a t p resent i s w i t h out a supply. Coctiorrat..—There has baen less demand, and prices have slightly given way. The prices are much the same as they were last year at this time, but the deliveries are much larger, while the stock is heavier. SALTPETRE.—To-day Rough was purchased with caution, and 1,095 bags of Calcutta at auction, of middling quality, sold upon rather lower terms; 7 to 6i per cent refraction dingy grey rather damp went at 25s 6d, 7i to 10 per cent ditto 255, and damaged al 22s to 23.. 0114.—There has been an increased desire manifested to operate in Seal Oil, and rather higher rates were given; the home demand has been good,and low sorts are wanted for expor tation. Holders evince tirmness,and supplythe market sparingly —especially with common qualities, and the tendency of prices is decidedly upwards for all sorts. Cod is little wanted, and holders are more inclined to sell as arrivals are shortly ex pected. Southern has brought further improved rates: the supply continuing to be small, and the demand good for all descriptions. No improvement has taken place in the value of Sperm, but there has been a brisker demand ; holders have evinced more firmness, and supplied the market less freely. There is, however, a large quantity remaining on importers hands. The arrivals of all Fish Oil continue to be small; whereas the deliveries are on the hien:as?, and prices are 30s to 90s per tun under those of this time laA season. None has again been offered at auction, but some parcels, consisting of 40 tuns of Sperm and 40 tuns of Seal are declared. Cocoa Nut has been much in demand, aLd higher rates are given. For Palm the mar ket has a firm appearance, a good business has been trans acted privately, and there is but a moderate quan tity on offer. Linseed Oil has been in excellent request for home consumption ; some purchases have been made by exporters, and 24s 9d to 25s have been the rates given ; for forward delivery several contracts have been entered into at 25s to 25s 6d per cwt. Rape Seed Oil has been sparingly dealt in, and there are sellers upon rather lower terms. Olive has risen in value, and a large business has been transacted. American Lard Oil has been purchased more freely. TALLow.—An extensive demand has prevailed for Russian on the spot, and prices continue on the advance, although arrivals are increasing; tine new Petersburgh Yellow Candle has been selling at 43s to 43s Sd, and old 42s 3d to 40s 6d; holders are firm. For forward delivery a good desire has been evinced to operate. Home-made has been in brisk demand on the spot at 41s 6d to 42s nett cash, but there is a plenti ful supply ; this is, however, yet the cheapest sort of Tallow ; the consumption the largest. All other sorts are wanted, but at present not much is to be had ; the value of American of low to fine quality is 37s to 42s 6d, and Australian 38s to 435; at auction 60 casks of Odessa Ox were sold at 42s to 42s 9d, and loose 38. s 6d ; 10 casks Taganrog Sheep 42s 3d to -12 s 6d per cwt. In consequence of the late destructive fires at Liver pool and Greenock, the insurance companies demand premiums for sugar-houses. MIGRATION OF SWALLOWS AND LAPWINGS. —The principal families of migratory bird s are b eg i nn i ng to collect in large flocks, previous to their flight to their winter quarters in the "sweet south." For the last fortnight the swallows have held daily councils about the old farm houses on the banks of the river Irwell, where they usually build their nests ; and for a longer time the lapings have left their solitary dwelling places on the moors, and have assembled in flocks of several hundreds on the pastures and ploughed lands. A very favourite resort for the latter birds at this season is the public field at Newton, which has been pastured for cen turies, and which must swarm with insects and worms. I have seen them there in very large flocks many times during the last month. The failure of the accustomed supplies of food in their usual feeding grounds is no doubt the cause of the movements of both these families of birds, and in a few days the increasing pressure of scarcity will drive them away to milder climates and more fruitful pastures.—Liverpool Times. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, The evidence of several witnesses went to show that, about half-past seven in the evening of the 24th August, the prisoner was observed on the wall of No. 17, Brook street,Westmins ter (next door to Mr. Greene's), but as his dress, bespoke him a labourer; no particular notice was taken of the circumstance. Soon after, the housemaid on entering her room, the window of which she had left open, discovered the prisoner lying on the bed, and she ran down stairs and gave the alarm to the butler. A policeman was sent for, and on a thorough search being made, it was discovered that the window of Miss Greene's room, which adjoined that of the housemaid's, had been opened from the inside. The prisoner was him self discovered on the roof, without his shoes, and a quantity of stolen property under his arm. The case was fully proved. The RECORDER having summed up, the jury found him Guilty of breaking into and stealing from the house of Mr. Greene, property above the value of 51.—Sen tenced to seven years' transportation. ASSAULT, WITH INTENT TO DO GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM.—John Morgan, aged 19, a last-maker, was charged with havin g f e l on i ous l y sta bb ed and wounded Martin O'Hara, an officer in the service of the Great Western Railway Company, with intent to do him grie. vous bodily harm. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Prendergast attended for the prisoner. Mr. CLARKSON having opened the case, called Martin O'Hara, who said that on the - 22d of August he gave evidence in that Court, and on leaving he called (looking for a friend) in a public-house near Golden square, and, not finding him, was coming out, when the prisoner, who was inside, said, " There goes b-- rail wa y p o li ceman ," at t h e same time drawing the weapon out of a sword-stick and stabbing him in the back. Witness said " you have stabbed me in the back." The prisoner said nothing, but the landlord said " I hope not," and wished them to make it up. Witness re fused, and the prisoner was given into custody. Police-constable 185 C said that he was called to take the prisoner into custody. He was not quite sober, and when told what he was charged with, he said, " Oh, it's only a lark, and I'm sorry for it." On the way to the station-house the prisoner said, " go with you, but I won't go with that b—." AIr.PuENDERGasT then addressed the jury, and cha racterised the whole matter as of the most trumpery kind. The grievous bodily harm resolved itself into a trifling puncture of the skin, for which no surgeon had been consulted, and which would never have been heard of, if the person aggrieved had not been a policeman. Witnesses were heard to character. The Learned RECORDER summed up, and the jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of guilty of an aggravated assault. The jury at the same time ex pressed their reprobation of the use of such instruments. The prisoner was sentenced to six months' imprison ment, with hard labour, the Learned Judge regretting that the Court could not shut its eyes to the fact that this crime was greatly on the increase, and, therefore, the public safety required that every such offence should be visited by severe punishment. NE TV COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES.) The Court was occupied the whole morning with hearing Mint cases, none of which possessed any point of public interest. POLICE IN TELLiGENCE. MA NSI ON-HO USE. A young man named John Seymour was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with the offence specified in the following evidence:— William Norman, coffeehouse keeper in St. George's street East, stated that on Saturday week the prisoner came to the house, and said that he wished to board and lodge there a short time. Witness asked him for some security as to the discharge of the amount of the ex pense, and ha offered an advance note, which witness returned to him on Saturday, receiving from him at the SUMO time the advance note produced, for 3/. 55., pur porting to be signed " F. Richardson," commander of the British Queen, and addressed to Mr. Angar, Fenchurch street. Th e p r i soner h a d hi s b oar d and lodging with witness for ten days, which amounted to U., and witness gave him the remainder of the sum at different times. The prisoner wrote his name on the back of the note. Mr. John A. Angar, merchant, of Fen-court, Fen church-street, said that he had no vessel called the British Queen, nor was he agent of any such vessel, nor did he know any commander of the name of Richardson. The prisoner said that the writing on the back of the note was not his.—Committed for trial. William Hall, cab-driver, No. 4,033, was charged with having violently whipped a lad named John Noble. As the complainant was drawing a truck in Fen church-street a waggon was passing by, and the prisoner wanted to drive his cab between witness and the pave ment, and then began to lash the lad most desperately, and struck him in the eye with his whip. A person who witnessed the brutal conduct of the defendant readily appeared to give evidence of the fact. Alderman MusonovE said he should inflict the penalty of 30 shillings upon the defendant, who refused to pay, and said it was quite ridiculous to say that any assault had been committed.—The prisoner was committed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Matthew Carrell, a young man, seemingly in unfor tunate circumstances, was placed at the bar, having given himself into custody, for breaking the lamp before the police-station in Vine-street. Mr. HARDWICK—Why did you do this? Defendant —Sir, I have been five days without shelter, and with little to eat. The defendant, then stated that he had been a clerk in Manchester, and had been discharged. He left Manchester immediately without the - knowledge of his friends. He had some money when he came to London, but that was all gone, and he had no friends here. Mr. Hannwicx said he had better return to Man chester, where his friends would aid in getting him a situation and reinstating him in his former position, and gave him ss. Isaac Edwards, was charged with a brutal assault on Charles Whitehead, a tailor, in Marshall-street. The complainant said he was returning home a few minutes before three o'clock that morning and was turn ing short round a corner, when the man at the bar and two others walking in the opposite direction came in collision with him. They flung him aside, and when he remonstrated with them, they threw him down, struck him, and kicked him. He got up and ran across the street into his own door, but they followed and pulled him back, threw him down again and kicked him, all three of them, in the face, the eye, and the ribs. Police-constable, C 157, said, in consequence of hear ing screams of "police," he ran towards Marshall-street, and saw the complainant on his back opposite Craven Chapel, and two men, the prisoner and another, kicking him most brutally. One of them saw him coming, and made his escape. The prisoner said he did not remember much about it. Mr. Hannwicx said, he had no doubt the complainant would remember it for some time to come. He ordered the prisoner to pay Si., or go to the House of Correction for two months. LLOYD'S SHIPPING, LONDON, SEPT. 22.—Wind this day at noon E., moderate breeze, and fine clear weather.

A TASTE FOR MIITTON.—John Jones, a shoemaker, and Henry Page, a labourer, were charged with stealing 251bs. weight of mutton and 251bs. weight of beef, the property of Joseph Orger—Jones having been before convicted of felony. It appeared that the prisoners were observed at half past one, on the morning of the 30th August, in a shed in Surrey-buildings, Old Kent-road. One of the wit nesses (a policeman) had suspected that something was wrong, from the fact of finding some beef and mutton there, and he having hid himself, had the satisfaction of finding the prisoners enter, and Jones say to his compa nion, " It's all right, put them in the basket." They were then taken into custody. Mr. Orger identified the beef and mutton as his pro perty. The pieces had been stolen from his house on the same night. The RECORDER summed up, and the previous convic tion against Jones having been put into Court, the jury found both prisoners Guilty ; when Page was sentenced to one year's imprisonment, and Jones was sentenced to seven years' transportation. ROBBERY FROM THE RESIDENCE OF MR. GREENE, M.P.—Georqe Knight, aged 41, a labourer, was charged with feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling house of Thomas Greene, Esq., M.P. for the City of Lancaster, and stealing therefrom three dresses and one shawl, ♦alue 31., the property of Miss Henrietta Greene, and three dresses and other articles, value 31., the property of the housemaid, Sarah Herdman. Mr. Ryland conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended.
