LANDLORD'S ADVICE A landlord and tenant (so we have heard say) Had a meeting together on business one day. The tenant, it seems, puli'd a ve'y long face, And mournfully stated the facts of his case. lie told Mr. Landlord what cash he had spent, .• And said he was sadly behind with his rent. And he hoped he'd excuse him not paying his due, Rut the landlord, of course, look'd remarkably blue. I'm sorry (said he) that my rent isn't ready— Your payments have never been any too steady. I think you're at too much expense, my good man, You should try to be saving as much as you can ; In clothing, for instance, how much might he do ne, By purchasing garments of 310SES and SON. The clothing you buy is a hundred times worse, Yet a terrible hole does it make in your purse. Had your money at MOSES' fain'd warehi•use been spent You'd never have been so behind with your rent. Now take my advice (said the landlord) I pray, And lryto improve by the next quarter day. You'll find that you'll seldom be left in the lurch, If you purchase at Aldgate, righ tfacing the Church."

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 18.—Yesterday a Cabinet mes senger arrived here with dispatches from his Majesty the King. It is now certain that his Majesty will not return to this town before the 2.5:11 of this month. The Leenio steamer, in which the King is to return, is to be at Dusseldorf on the 21st. According to a letter from New York, of the 21st of August, the Secretary of the Treasury has given the necessary instructions to the receivers of customs, im mediately to carry into efl' ct the Bill of the 3d of Au gust, by which exemption from duties on importation is granted to Java coffee, coming from the Netherlands, in Dutch or American ships, and to regulate the reim bursement of duties authorised by the said Bill. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 22.—We borrow the following afflicting details from a letter from Alort, addressed to the Courrier d' Anvers :—All that has been stated of the misery which prevails in the country is below the truth. Half of the population live in the Irish fashion, that is to say, on potatoes, vinegar, and water ; rye bread is too dear. As for pork, which is scarce this year, it is banished long since from the tables of the poorer classes. The mortality is becoming frightful in several villages, even those which lately enjoyed a certain degree of prosperity. It exceeds by 50 per cent. that of the years 1842 and 1843. The long drought has dried up most of the wells ; and, being forced to drink muddy and unwholesome water instead of beer or milk, our country people have almost all contracted disorders in the stomach, to which many hundreds have fallen victims. I have visited a cottage where the father, mother, grandfather, and seven children were ill, lying upon straw, badly attended, and abandoned by every body except a poor pastor and the physician of a neigh bouring commune. The pastor has nothing to give them but consolation, and as for the physician, he is overwhelmed with work, and three-quarters of his stock of medicines are absorbed by his indigent patients. The poor family of which I speak would be obliged to sleep in the open air, if the burgomaster, to whom the cottage belongs, had not excused them from paying their rent for the last eighteen months. This sight was very distressing, especially when the father said, — "It is very fortunate that we are ill, for we are not so hungry. What will become of us when we are cured? " There are above a hundred such instances; in all our villages the misery is becoming general. The small farmers are ruined in giving alms. The large farm near which I live is visited every week by 600 beggars; each of these persons receives a centime or a potato The farmer talks of abandoning his farm because he cannot bear so heavy a burden. In our village, as in many others, the rich inhabitants subscribe to give work to our unfortunate countrymen These burdens are four times heavier than the taxes. The women who are em ployed in spinning in the houses of the farmers work from five in the morning till seven in the evening, for which they receive four centimes and their food. In some farms they are contented with their food alone; this may do for them, but what becomes of their children ? MAESTRICHT, SEPT. 19.—The water in the Maese has become so low, in consequence of the continued drought, that steam-boats between this city and Rot terdatn have been obliged entirely to suspend their Toy age; and even the service between this city and Liege, is attended with great difficulty. HARDENBURG, SEPT, 17.—The River Vicht is so ex tremely low at this time, that it may be passed dry shod at several places, a circumstance which never hap pened here in the memory of man. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 19.— BORNEO AND THE TREATY or 1841.—" For some months past the island of Borneo has become the subject of the most lively interest to all civilised nations—the establishment of the English in that island, the largest in the world, is a question which rivets all eyes on the two nations which are most imme diately interested. Great Britain, whose influence in the theatre of the world is already so powerful, will gain inconceivably by the last acquisitions and their consequences; and the Netherlands, which, though not without influence in Asia, sees that influence daily more restricted on all sides by the extensive encroachments of a neighbour whose possessions and colonies spread more and more over the terrestrial globe, the Netherlands' colonial anti national interests, in the opinion of many foreign statesmen, are exposed to the utmost danger by the events of which Borneo is the theatre. It may, therefore, not seem out of the way to inquire what has latterly taken place in Borneo, and then to examine whether those events ar.~ contrary or not to the treaties between the Netherlands and Great Britain which are still in force, and have been frequently ap pealed to by both parties." The Handelsblad adds long extracts from Captain Keppel's account of his voyage to Borneo and the journal of Mr. Brooke. ZWOLLE, SEPT. 14.—This evening some families em barked here for Rotterdam, intending to proceed to North America. On Thursday next six families will embark from the district of Hardenburg, with the intention of proceeding to North America, with a capital of 3,000 florins ; religious motives aro the cause of this emigration. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 17.—• The Senate of the Free City of Frankfort has just published a proclamation allowing the importation of corn, duty free, into the territory of j the Republic. The Government of Frankfort will pay to the Zollverien the dirties chargeable on this corn, according to the general tariff, which is common to all States of the Union. This measure has become neces sary, in consequence of the very high price of provisions. On the 12th of this month a decree of the Government of Baden was published at Carlsruhe of the following tenor:— " Article I.—The existing regulations respecting the importation of foreign corn cad pulse, shall remain in force till the Ist of April, 1847. " Article H.—Foreign flour, as well as foreign articles made of corn and pulse, as also pearl barley, groats, flour of buck wheat, are free from import duty from the Ist of October of the present year, till the Ist of October, 1847."

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.—Yesterd ay morn ing. about two o'clock, as two men were going on board the Bee steamer to sleep, in consequence of the rain pre • venting th and em h is f e r o o m m p a g n o i i o n n g h , jo o h m n e, M o a n t e of them thews ,jum i p e e ll dover board,after him in hopes of saving him, when he unfortunately lost his life. The other man was saved. Matthews has left a wife, far advanced in pregnancy, and three children. On the 13th instant a murder was committed at St. Pahu, near Brest, under the following horrible cir cumstances. A farmer of the commune was married only three months ago, but having become enamoured of his servant-maid determined to get rid of his wife. To accomplish this, he prevailed upon the servant to smother her on the Sunday while all the inhabitants were at church. When the service was over she was found dead, and it was believed to have been from apoplexy, and she was buried the next day. The mother of the deceased, however, afterwards finding cause to suspect foul play, laid an information before the magistrates, and had the body of her daughter disinterred. The servant, on being brought to view the corpse, was struck with re morse and confessed her crime, which she protested she committed at the instigation of her master, who pro mised to marry her. She was committed to the prison of Brest, together with Jobert. The girl is only eighteen 'year!. of age. In the parish of Romford, Mr. Joseph Collin, surgeon, of North-street, was objected to by the Liberals, on the ground that he did not pay sufficient rent to entitle him to be on the register. Mr. Collin stated that he had been eight years in oe• cupation of his house, and paid 60/. per annum rent for it. Seven years ago, just before the election, a similar objection was made to his vote, and he attended before the Revisinc , Barrister, and the objection was disallowed. As he had been taken away from his profession, that of a surgeon, on so frivolous and vexatious an objection, especially as he wrote to the persons objecting.on the 14th, stating that he held the same qualification he did seven years back, that it was a case in which costs should be allowed. _ After hearing the Learned Gentleman for and against the application, The BARRISTER awarded Mr. Collin 10s. for his loss of time. The following is the result of the day's revision c Conservative objections, 17; sustained, 15; failed, 2. Liberal objections, 30; sustained, 21; failed, 5; with drawn, 4. On Tuesday the Court sat at the Cock, Epping, for the revision of the parishes of Ongar, Waltham, Harlow, Epping, Houghton, Chi well, &c., &c., when thelollow ing was the result of the day's revision : Liberal objections, 29 ; sustained, 15 ; failed, -14: Conservative objections, 4 ; sustained, 3 ; The Court sits this day at Billericay. HERTFORDSHIRE. Espinasse sat on Wedneday at the Bull Inn, Hod desdon, at tcn o'clock. Messrs. W. H. James, E. R. Spence, and J. F. Bon ;ems, attended for the free-trade party, and Mr. Long- more for the Conservatives. The REVISING BARRISTER complained of the negli gent manner in which the overseer of Witford had performed his duty, and fined him in the sum of 20s. for not forwarding to the cleric of the peace the lists of voters, as directed by the Registration Act. In the Hoddesdon list the claim of William Crawley was objected to by the Conservatives. Mr. Spence called a person of the name of Whitley, a tailor, to prove the qualification, who stated he knew William Crawley, and k iew he possessed four free hold houses, and had been in possesion since his father's death, which event occurred three years since. Cress-examined by Mr. Longmore—l consider the whole of the cottages belong to William Crawley. Each of them let for about 41. a year ; he lives in one of them. At the death of the father a will was found. There had been something said about the property being di vided among his children, four in number. The claim ant was the eldest son. The will was disputed, but I consider the claimant the owner of the cottages. Ido remember something being said about the property being left to the daughters. There were not any witnesses to the will. The fact is, the will was not signed. I have seen it, and immediately it was shown to me I said it was good for nothing. The son takes the rent of the whole property, and he does not divide it with his sisters. The will was not disputed by action. Ido not think the will gives the property to the sisters. I consider, by the will, that the claimant is the owner of the property. I have not the will with me. Mr. ESPINASSE said it would be very unsafe to receive the testimony of a Hoddesdon tailor as to the devise of a legal estate. He should therefore call for the production of the will. The witness left for the purpose of procuring the will, and in a short time returned and stated that he had seen the voter, but that he could not attend or produce the will. Mr. ESPINASSE said, if a voter would not attend, of course he must expunge the name, which was conse quently done. In the same list Charles Barham War ser, and four other gentlemen claiming for a rent-charge on freehold property, were objected to by the Conser vatives. Mr. James took an objection to the notice to the effect that the objector had not signed his name in full, but only " Tho." for " Thomas,' which was overruled by the Court. lie then put in a deed of conveyance, dated the 29th of January, and proved that Mr. Charles Bor ham Warner was living upon the property upon which the rent-charge was secured, and contended that he so residing constituted a possession in fact, as well as in law, as required by the Reform Act. Mr. Longinore submitted that the possession of the property was not such a possession of the rent-charge as required: It Was admitted as a fapt that Mr. Warner was in oc. cupation of the premises i kand had been so since and al the time of the execution of the deed, and also - that such occupation was permissive. Mr. ESPINASSE said he would reserve his judgment on the case of Mr. Charles Borham Warner, but with re gard to the other four gentlemen, he would strike out their names, as it appeared they had not received any rent on the deed, nor was it due at the time of execution. In the Cheshunt list, Joseph Jennings was objected to by the free-traders. Mr. Jennings appeared and stated he was possesed of a fee farm rent, upon the manor and rectory of Cheshunt, and that it was of more than forty shillings annual value, and had been in possession more than twenty years. Mr. Spence said, that it being a rent-charge, the Act required the owner's name to be inserted. Kr. Jennings said, that he was objected to in the year 1P..,33, and that the Revising Barrister inserted it in the Mist as it now appears. Mr. Spence said, that under the Reform Act the de scription would have been sufficient, but under the Regis tration Act it was required that the owner's name should also be inserted. The overseer stated, that the devises of the late Mr. Dendy are the owners of the property. Mr. ESPINASSE was of opinion that the owners' name in this case ought to be inserted. Mr. Jennings applied to the court for costs. He thought it a very hard case to be compelled to come all the way from Hastings to support his vote, which had been on the register ever since the year 1833. Mr. ESPINASSE said no doubt it was a very hard case; but in cases of rent charge it was necessary that the name of the owner should be given, so as to enable a person who wished to inquire into the register to as certain whether these rent charges had actually been granted. In the year 1833 the lists were revised under the provisions of the Reform Act, and at that time it was necessary that the rent charges should be registered with the clef kof the peace. Since that Act the Regis tration Act had been passed, which required the owner's name, and had abolished the registration with the clerk of the peace. In a case that he had decided at Berkhampstead, the owner's name was only given, and in that case he was of opinion that that was all that was necessary, as a party wishing to make objections could inquire in the place for the property belonging to the gentleman whose name appeared as owner, and he could readily ascertain from the overseers whether he was the owner or not, and thereby ascertain whether any rent charges were secured upon that property ; but in this case no owner's name appeared, so that nobody could make inquiries to know whether any rent-charges had been granted. He should, therefore, not give costs. In the same list Sir Edward Codrington and twelve other gentlemen claiming for rent- charges were objected to by the Conservatives. Mr. James put in a deed of rent-charge, made between George Dunn of the one part, and Admiral Sir Edward Codrirgton of the second part, conveying to Sir Edward Codrington, his heirs and assigns, for ever, a rent-charge of forty shillings, "to be paid and payable during the first year, in equal moities, on the 24th day of June and the 25th day of December, thenceforth yearly on the 25th day of December in every year." Mr. James also produced receipts, signed by the parties, for the first half-year's rent, which had been paid previous to the 31st of July last. Mr. James stated that he had paid the rents, and that the property upon which the rent charges were granted was unencumbered at the time of granting, and remained so up to the present time. Mr. Longmore said that the rent-charges were for forty shillings only, and nothing was said as to the income tax, which would be one shilling and twopence on each .case; so that the parties would only receive thirty-eight shillings and tenpence, which would not entitle them to vote. Mr. James said there was an express section in the Act which applied to Op case. It was the 21st section of the 2d William 1V., - cap. 45, which enacted that " no public or Parliamentary tax shall be deemed to be any charge payable out of or in respect of any land or tenements." Mr. Longmore said the Income-tax Act had been passed since the Reform Act. Mr. ESPINASSE said it would be incumbent on Mr. Longmore to prove that there was an express enactment in the Income. tax Act repugnant to the 2d William IV., cap. 45. Mr. Longmore replied that the Income-tax Act directed the granter to retain the tax, 7d. upon every pound at the time of paying the rent-charge. Mr. ESPINASSE said the Reform Act directed that no Parliamentary tax should be considered as a charge upon the land, and the income. tax was a Parliamentary tax, and as there was nothing repugnant to the 21st section of the 2d William IV., cap. 45, he should overrule the objection. The whole of the names were retained upon the list. Two other gentlemen, of the name of Dunn, claiming for rent-charges in the same list, were objected to; but, owing to rent not having been paid prior to the 31st of last July, the names were expunged. In the same list Richard Arabin, and six others claiming for rent-charges granted by Sir Henry Meux, Bart., were objected to by the free-traders. A solicitor attended to prove the qualifications, and stated that the rent-charges had been granted by Sir Henry Meux. and were charged upon his property called " Walker's Farm." Upon cross-examination he admitted that no consi rdecereaitvioedn b rn y cn th e e y c h l a a d im b a e n e t n s. paid, or that the rent had been: Mr. Spence submitted that in that case the names must be expunged. Mr. ESPINASSE thought there ought, in all cases of rent-charge, to be a payment either of a penny or half penny as seisin, it being an incorporeal hereditament, which should be paid before the 31st of July last. In this case there was no actual payment of the rent, or anything in lieu of it, prior to the 31st of July. On that ground he was of opinion the names must be expunged, but independently of that point, there was no considera tion in the deed of rent-charge, and as it did not appear any money or other consideration had passed, it was clear the case came within the Splitting Act. The names were consequently expunged. The following is the result of the day's revision:— Claims by Liberals 5O Claims by Conservatives 59 Liberals struck out 36 Conservatives struck out . 66 116 95 Majority on the day's revision, 21; previous majority, 221—total, 242. The Court rose at five o'clock, and will sit this day, at the Shire Hall, Hertford, at ten o'clock. REJOICINGS AT LONGFIELD. RECEPTION OF CHARLES BIANCONI, ESQ. On Wednesday evening the Right Worshipful Charles Bianconi, Esq., Mayor of Clonwel, arrived at his re cently purchased property of Longfield, one of the most splendid residences in this county, accompanied by his amiable lady and family. Preparations on an extensive sceit were made by the tenantry and other inhabitants as thp ;estate to give _ the excellent proprietor a public itgoettipn, worthy alike of him and them. Large bon ~res:. lazed roads contiguous to the demesne, a Ariussphal arch was. erected near the avenue gate, and 'the extensive area opposite the splendid mansion was thronged with the tenants and labourers, their wives and families. The amateur band from Cashel, dressed in their beautiful uniform, were also in attendance, and dis- coursed most eloquent music during the evening. Their style of performance of several national and popular airs reflected upon them the greatest credit. Dancing com menced about eight o'clock, and was kept up with great spirit until a late hour. The lads and lasses of Ard mayle were " Tripping on the light fantastic toe," whilst the merry pipes kept tune with the violin and tabor, It was truly a spirit-stirring spectacle, and one which incontestably proves the stuff of which Irishmen are composed, ever ready to pay the tribute of their heart's warmest affections where a disposition is evinced by those placed above them in the scale of society to treat them with generosity, kindness, and justice; taken alto ther, it was a proud, a happy demonstration as ever we had the good fortune to witness. The evening was beautifully calm, and the shadows of the different objects, as reflected by the several fires, added to the appear ance of the silver waters of the lovely Suir, which in tersect the demesne, - gliding silently along, had to the lovers of the picturesque and beautiful a most thrilling effect— " It was not that Nature bad shed o'er the scene Her purest of chrystal—her brightest of green," —Oh, no, it was the outpouring of the hearts of men, who felt they gained a good landlord—a kind friend—a benevolent neighbour, in the person of the present ho noured proprietor of Longfield, that gladdened the heart of the spectators. An interval having occurred in the merry dance, a deputation from the tenantry came forward, and pre sented Mr. Bianconi with an address, which was read by Mr. Dwyer in a clear and distinct voice. The address was an eloquent composition, and the reading of it was accompanied with loud cheering. Silence being restored, Mr. BIANCONI addressed the people from the steps of the hall-door. He said— Friends and neighbours, I thank you for the honour done me, and I accept your address with great pleasure. It affords me much satisfaction to meet tenants and neighbours, who are latterly proverbial for morality, good conduct, and temperance.—(Cheers.) I am de lighted to be so intimately connected with so deserving a class. I have made the ever-memorable saying of my lamented friend, Mr. Drummond, that " property bas its duties as well as its rights," my study. We all should, according to our state in society, have our rights.— (Hear.) The landlord shouldhave his—the mechanic and the labourer should also have theirs.—(Hear.) I think that the poor man, who earns by his labour a shilling a day, has as good a right to employment and his cabin as the Queen has to her throne.—(Cheers.) The citizen and the farmer also have their peculiar rights, and it shall ever be my duty to see those rights vindicated.— (Cheers.) These also have their duties.—(Hear.) The labourer cannot expect to be paid unless he works in return.— (Hear.) If the landlord does his duty to you, he will expect of you to do the same to him. You must understand your duties as well as your rights. I am determined to do everything that a man ought to do to those placed by Providence under me. The rich and the poor man are God's creatures alike— , (Cheers)—and, as a landlord, my duty is to see that ' my tenants shall have proper time and facilities to culti vate the land, and I, in return for my giving the land for its value, expect to be properly paid. I have no idea that one man more than another should not be bound to discharge the respective duties which he owes the great human family; therefore I feel great pleasure in receiving your address. It gives me increased plea sure to find that I have to do with a peaceful, moral, and industrious class of men, and I regret that I was not aware of your kindness in time to have refreshments prepared for you, particularly after the delightful scene which I had the pleasure just now of witnessing—the merry dance continued with such truly Irish spirit by the young men and really handsome girls by whom I am surrounded.—(Cheers.) It is my wish that when you want anything which is in my power to grant you, that you should not be thinking about it. Whenever you want any improvement to be made either in your land or farming implements, ask me, it shall always af ford me much pleasure to assist you by every means in my power, in everything that can tend to ameliorate your condition.—(Cheers.) Before I conclude these hasty observations, allow me to impress upon you the great importance of re specting the laws. The laws are made for the good and benefit of society, and the punishment of the wicked. You cannot offend the laws with impunity. No one but an enemy would counsel you to outrage the laws. Look around you, and will you not see the face of society im proved? Much of that improvement is owing to the temperate habits of the people—to the mission of my respected friend, Father Mathew—(Loud cheers)—and to the advice of the Liberator, Mr. O'Connell.—(Cheers.) Above all things, avoid secret and unlawful societies. There has been much blood shed in this country through their means. But lam happy to say that the advice of the Liberator is now generally followed.—(Cheers.) There are still a few lurking vagabonds in this county, but their "occupation is nearly gone." Therefore, if any man ask you to violate the law, seize him, grapple with him, drag him before a magistrate, or your clergy. man, for depend upon it he is your enemy, and an enemy to your country. Follow the advice of O'Connell ; be temperate, noral, peaceable, and you will advance your country, ameliorate your condition, and the blessing of God will attend you.—(Loud cheers.) The MAIOR then called for three cheers for the Queen, which were loudly given. Cheers, loud and long continued, were then given for the Mayor, Mrs. and Master Bianconi, &c., &c., and the vast concourse separated in the most orderly and quiet manner. EXPLOSION OF GAS.—Wednesday morning, about eleven o'clock, an explosion of gas, which created the greatest alarm in the neighbourhood of Limehouse, occurred on the premises of Mr. William Page, the Commercial Rice-mills, Commercial-road East. It ap pears that Miles Scatcherd, the fireman of the establish ment, perceiving a strong smell of gas proceeding from the counting-house, suspected the gas was escaping from the pipe, and, without taking the precaution of opening the windows to allow the gas to escape, went with a lighted candle to the spot. The moment he opened the door the gas, which had been confined in a very small apartment, exploded. The counting-house was shat tered, the floor blown up, the glass broken, and a large iron, which was used for the grinding of barley, was removed and broken. The unfortunate man Scatcherd was severely burnt about the head and body. He was moved to his home, where he remains in a preca rious state. BURIAL SERVICE.-13y the Act of 9 and 10 Vic toria, c. 68, which came into operation on the 26th of August last, pruvisiort is made to enable the burial service to be performed in one chapel, where contiguous burial-grounds are provided for two or more parishes or places. The Bishop of the diocese may declare, in the sentence of consecration, that a chapel is intended for the use of the several parishes or places. The Act is to extend to any parish or place already or here after to be formed under the provisions of the Church Building Acts, and also any new parish already or to be hereafter constituted by or under the proceedings of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England. DELAY OF THE DELIVERY OF LETTERS.—Wednes day morning the whole of the General Post-office letter ' carriers were ordered back to the office in St. Martin's le-Grand, in consequence of the non-arrival of the mail bags from the Liverpool branch of the North-Western R a il w ay. The men, after having delivered the first dis patch, were sent out with the Liverpool mail about five hours after the usual time. A serious accident below Birmingham is stated by the Post-office authorities to have been the cause of the detention of the correspondence. A MELANCHOLY WEDDlNG.—Yesterday an inquest was held before W. Baker, Esq., at Clay Hall, Old Furd, Bow, on the body of Elizabeth Johns. The deceased, who was twenty years of age, was married on Sunday last at Poplar, and after spending the day with her husband, returned with him to her father's house, and was taken very ill immediately afterward , , so much so that her husband slept on the floor. She continued to get worse, and expired on Tuesday morning, about two o'clock. There were no marks of violence on the body, nor did she complain of anything but a severe pain in her chest. Some of the jury thought I post n:ortem examination ought to be made, and the juluiry was then adjourned for thot PurVie• CHATES.I4, SEPT. 23.—The Southampton, 50 guns, was put out of dock this day, and placed in ordinary. The Warspite, a razeed, 74 guns, built in this dock yard and launceed in the year 1807, was taken into dock this day, to be fitted fr c;on3mission. Captain Sir Thomas Bourchier, K.C.8., the newly-ap pointed Captain Superintendent, has commenced his duty at this yard. He arrived here on Monday afternoon last, and was received by Captain William Henry Sherriff, and conducted over the various offices • after which they proceeded on board the guard-ship Poictiers," when the officers and crew were assembled on deck, and - Captain Sir Thomas Bourehier's commission was then read to them. The two officers then returned to the dockyard, and Captain Sherriff resigned his duty to his successors and left the yard. In- consequence of considerable alterations to be made in the residence of the Captain Superintendent, the Captain has apartments at the Sun Hotel. It is currently reported that Mr. Thomas Vinall, the Captain Superintendent's Secretary, is to be removed; the cause of such removal is political. Woomvicu, SEPT. 23.—The Gladiator steam-vessel, Captain John Robb, arrived from Scotland yesterday with troops, and went up the river to Deptford with them. The Widgeon steam-vessel returned from Woolwich to Dover to-day, and the Charron is ordered round to Woolwich from Dover. _ _ The Violet steamfpacket, on the Dover station, is to be brought round to Woolwich to be docked, as it is supposed her bilge pieces are split, the bolts appearing through her bottom. The Fearless steam-vessel returned to Chatham yes terday. The Diligence transport ship is loading with stores at Deptford for the Mediterranean, and will take home the engines of the Sydenham steam-vessel broken up at Malta. A number of convicts have been employed for several days deepening the side of the river at the north west end cf the dockyard, close to Charlton pier, foi the par pose of making a station for the Hebe, converted into a depot for the single men of the Woolwich division of the Royal Marines. A gate has been opened in the wall of the dockyard, close to the wharf, to admit the men of the Royal Marines at all times from the Charlton-road, without their having to go through the dockyard. MEMORANDUM.—ADMIRALTY, SEPT. 10.—The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty are pleased to direct that the issuing price of soap to her Majesty's ships' companies shall be reduced from Bd. to 6d. REMOVAL OF CERTAIN PAUPER LUNATICS FROM ASYLUMS BACK TO THE WORKHOUSES. At the usual weekly meeting of the board of guardians of the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, held on Wednesday. Mr. Ryder in the chair, amongst other communications read to the board was the following letter from the Com missioners of Lunacy, on the subject of removing back to workhouses simply imbecile or idiotic paupers from asylums where, under the Act of 8 and 9 Vic., c, 126 (passed August 8, 1842), being of unsound mind they are required to be sent, but under the 9th and 10:h Vic. (passed last session), it would appear they are enabled to be removed back : " No. 1,008. " Office of Commissioners in Lunacy, 19, New street, Spring-gardens, Sept. 21, 1846, " Sir,—Your letter of the 10th inst. has been brought under the consideration of the Commissioners in Lunacy, by whom I am directed, in answer to the question sub mitted to them with reference to the power of the Board of Guardians of St. Luke, Chelsea, • to remove simply idiotic and imbecile paupers from asylums to the work house,' to say that the law vests in the guardians the power at their discretion to remove their pauper lunatics, at all events from hospitals and licensed houses, and that the sanction of the Commissioners in Lunacy is not required to such removal, which must be the act of the guardians upon their own responsibility. " The propriety or legality of the subsequent residence of the insane paupers so removed into workhouses will depend upon the character of the respective mental dis orders, and upon the opinion of the medical men certify ing as to the propriety of their confinement in each case. " I am sir, your obedient servant, " R. W. S. LUTWIDGE, Secretary, " Mr. T. M. Loveland, clerk to the Board of Guardians of Saint Luke, Chelsea." COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SEPT. 23.—Her Majesty's ship Ajax was towed out of harbour this morning by the Echo steamer. She has been converted into a steam guard-ship, with a screw propeller. We noticed that she drew 15i- feet water. She went out about an hour before high water, at which time there was a depth of about 19 feet water in the harbour. LAUNCH OF THE JOHN WESLEY.—This fine vessel went off in first-rate style this morning. Being for the Wesleyan missionaries, hundreds flocked from all parts of the country to witness the launch. A dinner was provided for seventy at the Vine Inn, and about that number sat down to as good a one as a prince could wish for, the Rev. Dr. Irvin occupying the chair, and the Rev. Dr. Alder filling the vice-chair. The Kestrel has not yet arrived; she put into Fal mouth on Saturday. but the wind having come round to the southward, she is now hourly expected here. It waits reported this afternoon that she was in sight, and all the shops were immediately closed, out of respect to the me mory of one of the best of men. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The royal carriages were ordered to be in readiness this forenoon for some extended drives through the Great Park, but the rain came on so heavily, and continued so long, that the attempt was given up, and the carriages were ordered back. A bacquet for a party of thirty-seven will be given in the Waterloo Gallery to-night. His Royal Highness Prince Albert has proposed a shooting party for to-morrow, should the weather prove favourable. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and the Princess Royal of Prussia will remain the guests of the Queen until Tuesday next. The Hon. Mr. Anson, private secretary to his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, did not reach the Castle until six o'clock this evening. The Hon. Gentleman left Osborne House on Friday last, and has been paying . some private visits in Derbyshire. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager has caused to be issued cards fora grand entertainment to her Royal Highness the Princess of Prussia, on the 30th instant, at Marlborough House, the Princess having appointed the following day for her departure for Berlin. Sir Henry Pottinger arrived at Douglas's Hotel last night from the north, and takes his departure on his way south this morning.—Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday. We understand that, by an order in Council, the royal peculiar of Wolverhampton, which has hitherto possessed an exclusive ecclesiastical jurisdiction, will merge into the diocese of Lichfield on the Ist of October next.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. CAPTURE OF HORSE CHAUNTERS.—Last Satur day, an elderly farmer, named John Baker, from Hors ford, was swindled out of 301. in Norwich cattle market, by some strangers who pretended to be horse-dealers. They adopted the old trick of persuading him to pur chase a horse which one pretended he wanted, but could not buy of the other. As soon as the parties had secured the money they all disappeared. This is the second time Baker has been thus duped! Information having been given to the police they were pursued, and at Seaming Black Horse, about two miles beyond Dereham, the rogues were taken into custody, when they gave their names Joseph Clark, from Leicester; William Rober son, from London; and Norman Proctor, from Bir mingham. They acknowledged having sold the old man the horse, and would fain have returned the money and paid expenses, but this of course the officers would not consent to. On searching the officers found upon them 126/., a part of it being a deposit receipt for 501. at the Westminster Bank, in the name of Norman Proctor. They were brought back to Norwich, and the Mayor having heard the case, remanded them to Monday. The horse which Baker bought for 30L is said to be worth 6/. Baker said thot one of them told him his name was Clark, and that he was a farmer from Wymondham.— Bury Post. THE " CLERGYMAN " OP A PRIVATE BURIAL GROUND.—A correspondent of the Times furnished, on Wednesday, an ad ditional proof of the necessity of abolish ing these nuisances. " A short time since,", he writes, " I attended the funeral of a friend at a burial-ground in the Borough. I was not aware at the time that it was a private one. When the orders for the funeral were given, the man at the ground asked if he would provide a clergyman, or should the one who usually officiated attend. Supposing, of course, that he was a Minister of the Established- Church, the latter proposition Was ac ceded to ; but what was our surprise on arriving with the corpse, to find the same man (who appeared to be only the sexton) dressed up in a dirty surplice, ready to receive us; and, there being then no remedy, he went through the service in his own way." The new Pontifical Government is said to be pre paring a most important measure, that of substituting for the decree of total exclusion of foreign books into the States of the Church a system of censorship, as has been done in Tuscany and certain States of Germany. FIRE IN THE CITY-ROAD.—Wednesday morning, between four and five, whilst the fire was raging at the Croydon Railway station, another outbreak occurred at I I Wharf, City-road Basin, occupied by Mr. John Mere dith, a stable-keeper. It was caused by the overheating of one of the coke ovens in the adjoining wharf, which was built against the wall. When first n)tieed the fire had got possession of the upper floor, and it soon after wards bloke through the roof. Several of the brigade engines attended, and the firemen arcw a stream of water upon the burning premises which had the desired effect, but not before the top floor was destroyed, the roof burnt off, and the lower floor damaged by water, &c. Mr. Meredith was insured in the Phoenix fire-office. The company we enumerated last week, with the exception of Lord Brougham, are still at Lowther Castle. The Learned Lord left by railway for Carlisle on Wednesday forenoon, and reached Brougham Hall the same evening. On Friday evening, Mr. Mills, who was expected for some days previously, arrived in the harbour in his splendid yacht, and immediately joined the distinguished party at the castle, where he is still a visitor. On Saturday, the Hon. Colonel Lowther and Mr. Lowther also 'arrived at th(i castle.—Cumberland Pacquit. ~„ THE FATAL ACCIDENT-ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. (LATEST, PARTICULARS.) READING, WEDNESDAL—The accident which befeL the fifty-five minutes past four r.Di. passenger-train from Paddington, at Farringdon-road station -on the above line, on Monday, was of a character peculiarly, de plorable, and, we believe, nearly unparalleled among railway casualties. The unfortunate passengers who met with their death have been ascertained to-be 3lr. Sargeant, a farmer re siding in the vicinity, of Swindon, and James Bonner, living at Oxford. There were several,other passengers. injured, including a female, but their navies' and the nature of their injuries could not be obtained. The train when it left Paddington consisted of the " Elk" engine and tender, luggage van, seven first and second-class passenger carriages, and another luggage van at the rear. It took up a large number of pas sengers at the station, and by the time it reached Farringdon-road the train had become a very large one. On its approach to the latter station the engine-driver shut off the steam, and adopted the usual practice of bringing the train to a halt. Na sooner had he done so, however, than a violent concus sion took place, and it was immediately found that the luggage-van near to the tender, from some unaccount able cause, had reared up on its fore wheels. The force of the train drove the next carriage under it, and the next moment the train passing through a bridge on the London side of the Farringdon-road station, it is sup posed that the roof of the luggage van came in 'contact with the crown of the arch, and was driven into the" body of the carriage. All three compartments being filled with passengers it is truly remarkable that It greater loss of life did not ensue. The unfortunate de ceased, with two or three others, were in the compart ment nearest the van. The remains of Mr. Sargeant were shockingly mutilated, the head being literally so- - vered from the body. His death must have been in stantaneous. More than an hour and a half elapsed ere his remains could be extricated from the wreck.of the carriage. Bonner survived his injury but itTew minutes, He was standing up at the trine; and received, the - : full force of -the condussitin on his head. As soon as the necessary assistance had been obtained the lyedies . were removed. to the station to await a coroner's inquiry:': Ire the course of an hour and a half the line was clearedy and the train - Proceeded. _ - The remarkable circumstance. of ,the luggag,e73'* l l. rising from no apParent cause has excited cOnarderaW . attention. By some opinions are given that it was :tile result of the sudden shutting off of the steam and memenatum of the heavy train • bebind „that threw the van tip. It' was--stal4 carriages rising—ia-such a manner were of. freqtant . 9e-: currence on all lines; if so, it is the first that has'b'een publicly announced. It is right to state, however, that they do not attribute the accident to the cause above alluded to, but rather to some defect in the spring or axle of the van. The construction of the luggage vans on this line differs very materially from those generally employed on other railways. It has been reported that it was of a light construction, and not of that massive description as to warrant it being placed next the tender with such heavy trains as the one that met with the accident. Such, however, is not the fact. It was one of the ordi nary wrought-iron vans usually employed in running with passenger trains, and weighing six tons. Up to the last station it stopped at before reaching Farring don-road, the van exhibited no token of defect. Sin gular to state the coupling which held it to the carriage it injured never broke, at least such is the information communicated to the reporter by Mr. S. Clarke, the su perintendent of the line, but the one that connected it with the tender separated. This fact has given rise to the supposition that the van must have left the rails and that the engine broke away from it. If that, however, had been the fact, the probability is that the train would have passed on to it instead of lifting it. Last evening the inquest on the bodies of the unfor tunate deceased passengers was held at the Prince of Wales Tavern, adjoining the larringdon•road station, by Mr. Wa,borough, the county coroner. Mr. S. Clarke, the superintendent of the line, was present, with other officers ; to watch the proceedings ell behalf of the company. The evidence adduced was far from being satisfactory as to the cause of the accident. From the testimony of the witnesses who rode in the same compartment as the deceased, it appears that at the moment of the concus sion the deceased, Mr. Sargeant, was sitting down, and was thrown into the next compartment. Bonner waa standing up, and was crushed down. They described the luggage van to have broken through the roof of their carriage, which came right down upon them. Mr. Frampton (living near the station), who waS a passenger in the train, said that some time prior to the accident he noticed a grating noise. He did not know the cause, and mentioned the circumstance to a fellow passenger. He was in the same carriage as the deceased, only in another compartment. On the train passing under the bridge, he heard a tremendous noise, and the roof of the carriage flew off. He supposed that the de ceased must have been killed in the compartment by the luggage van driving into it; for when the train stopped he tound the van was right on the top of it. Ross Pattison, the engine -driver, deposed that he ap proached the Farringdon-road station at the usual speed, and on running through the bridge experienced a severe shock which threw him backwards. He jumped for ward to his engine, supposing it had broken away, and on lcokiug back saw that the train had left the engine, and the luggage train mounted on the top of the carriage next to it. He thought the force of the concussion broke the coupling. After the accident he noticed that some of the wheels of the van and carriage were off the line. Previous to the concussion the steam had been shut off, and the breaks applied to brincr up at the station, and their speed was exceedingly moderate. There was no second concussion. Simon Cosgrave, the head guard of the train, said it was running into the station.= the =mil the me accident happened. He could not say posittigy tow it occurred. He thought the cause was the luggage van breaking down in front. There was only one shock. The evening having here far advanced the CORONER suggested an adjournment. At present they did not know anything of the cause of the accident. He thought the jury ought to have the evidence of come disinterested witness. Ile considered the public, on so serious an oc casion, were entitled to know whether blame attached to the company, and he thought an adjournment should take place for the purpose of obtaining the attendance of some able and disinterested person, who should give evidence respecting any practical points, on which the jury desired to be informed. • The jury concurred in the views of the coroner, and the proceedings were accordingly adjourned. A report of the accident has been sent to the Board of Trade by the company, and General Pasley was expected yesterday to have visited the spot and made his official investigation. We believe it is the coroner's intention to solicit the attendance of the gallant general at the re sumption of the inquest, with a view of ascertaining his opinion on the cause of the accident. The inquiry will be resumed this day. The Rugby and Leamington Railway has been sold to the London and North-Western Railway Com pany, at 51. premium cn the 201. shares, or 4/. premium on the 161. shares. SEIZURE OF AN EXTENSIVE ILLICIT DISTILLERY BY THE EXClSE.—Considerable excitement was manifested on Wednesday evening, between six and seven o'clock, in the neighbourhood of Blackfriars road, from the re port of the seizure of an illicit distillery, with the cap ture of the persons employed, by the officers of the Ex cise. From information received, the officers proceeded to Charles-street, to premises formerly occupied as a hat-manufactory, where, after some slight hesitation on the part of a person at the gate, they obtained admis sion, and on proceeding to the rear of the pre mises, which are very extensive, several apartments being thrown into one, they discovered two large copper stills, in full work, and running spirits of a very strong description, viz., sixty over proof. The persons atteed:ng their operation appeared to be so busily em ployed, that they had scarcely noticed the presence of the officers, and upon one of the latter announcing their presence, a scene of indescribable dismay and alarm en sued. Retreat was hopeless, and a denial of the facts quite out of the question, therefore one of the party at once admitted that he was the proprietor of the distillery, and cabs being procured, the whole of the parties were conveyed to the police station-house for safe custody- Having them thus secured, the officers then proceeded to examine the premises more minutely, and found the two stills had been some time in operation, from the quantity of spirit ready for sale in stock. They also found near 1,000 gallons of wash in a state of fermenta tion, ready for placing in the stills, and which would. have run off a large quantity of spirit. The business thus carried on, taking the same by the average of the workings of the stills, would have caused a loss to the revenue of at least 3001. per week. The owner of the premises appeared to have minutely studied the laws of distillation, for several documents relating to the subject were found in his possession, and among them the last Act upon the subject, the 9th and 10th Vic., cap 90, en titled " An Act to Prevent the Use of Stills by Un lisensed Persons." Three vans having been procured, the whole of this valuable capture was deposited in them, and conveyed to the Excise warehouses in Bread street. MYSTERIOUS DEATll.—Wednesday an inquest was held before Mr. W. Carter, at the Swan Inn, New Peck ham, on the body of Mr. William Dunham, aged 57, whose death was supposed to have been caused by some quack medicine. Two phials were produced,:and a printed bill, with the name of " Jordan, Russell.street, Blooms bury," on it. Mrs. Sadler, a sister of the deceased, said her brother had retired from business, and lived at 1, Alpha-street, New Peckham. On Sunday evenirg he was reading in the front parlour, when he fell from his chair suddenly, and soon after expired. The deceased had had the dropsy for some time, and was under the caro of Mr. Morris till last Wednesday, when he got some medicine, and ivou:d not see Mr. Morris again. took•the medicine from the Wednesday to the Sun day. Mr. Morris, of Iligh-street, Peckham, surgeon, stated that he had attended the deceascd for dropsy and diseased kidneys for some time, and his op:mon was that he would not last out the winter. When he saw him on Sunday he was quite dead, and witness was sur prised at the suddenness of it. The Coroner asks d Mr. Morris if he could state the cause cd death. Mr. Morris said he could not tell. One of the phitds he thought contained opium, the taking of which might tend to bring on apoplexy. He did not think there was suffi cient to cause death. The Coroner then said the inquiry must be adjourned to have the body opened. The bottles were ordered to be sealed up, and the Court adjourned. PECKHAM FAlR.—During Wednesday and the two preceding days, Camberwell and Peckham have been visited by many th ousan d s o f i n dividuals to witness the revival of Peckham Fair, which closed yesterday. The fair, which was conducted throughout in a very quiet but brisk and orderly manner, terminated without e, Single 'want, • _ WILLIAM RATRAY, Actuary and Secretary.
