A MOST ELIGIBLE PROPERTY, EITHER FOR OCCUPATION OR INVESTMENT, COSIPRI . 4NO A PLEASANT MODERN RESIDENCE, EXCELLENT FARM BUILDINGS, AND 295 ACRES OF SUPERIOR ARABLE AND DAIRY LAND, FREE FROM LAND-TAX AND GREAT TITHE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by the Devisees in Trust of the late Harry Hammond, Esq., to submit to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, December 3d, at Twelve, in One Lot, A truly desirable FREEHOLD PROPERTY, presenting to the capitalist an investment free from the slightest doubt or risk. It is in the parish of East Stoke, yet within the limits of THE BOROUGH TOWN OF WAREHAM, a matter of no small importance to a proprietor, and for a tenant at all times ensuring the readiest sale for the produce, while the markets of Poole and Dorchester are easily commanded, and shortly the railway from Southampton to Dorchester will lend its powerful aid to give fresh impetus to this district, by rendering the London market accessible. It is known as THE BESTWALL AND SWINEFINM FARMS, OF 295 ACRES OF RICH DAIRY AND ARABLE LAND, and it will be in the recollection of those acquainted with the county that they were for many years the pet farms, or better known as THE MODEL FARMS OF THE LATE SIR CLAUDE SCOTT, BART., by whose untiring energy, skill, and outlay , they were not only brought to a high state of cultivation, but by the formation of an embankment of vast extent, with a most perfect system of draining and irrigation, some of the richest dairy and corn land in the county was secured, as well as a constant supply of manure from the deposit from the river. The late proprietor, at very considerable cost, erected A GENTLEMANLY ABODE, offering excellent accommodation for a family, approached by a lodge entrance, through a most luxuriant shrubbery walk, adorned with an infinity of choice flowering plants, to the lawn and pleasure garden, from whence a view of singular magnificence is obtained, in duding the long range of THE DORSETSHIRE HILLS, THE MAJESTIC RUINS OF CORFE CASTLE being a prominent object; whilst the home view commands Lord Rivers' estate of Redcliff and the Wareham River, which yields a never-failing supply of fish, and in the season wild fowl in abun‘lance —irresistible attractions to a sporting man—to whom it should be known that there are frequent meetings of Mr. Farquharson and Mr. Drax's hounds. There are two farm-houses, with most com plete agricultural buildings ; and an excellent "gravelled road runs through the estate, communicating with each field. Several cottages and every essential for conducting an extensive dairy farm with ad vantage ; and if at any time desired, the estate can be divided into two farms. Early possession may be had. The estate may be viewed by applying to Mr. House, at the resi dence, and particulars, with a plan, obtained ; also of R. D. Marsh field, Esq., solicitor, and the Red Lion, Wareham ; New Inn, Wim borne ; Crown, Blandford ; Antelope, Poole ; Antelope, Sherborne ; King's Arms, Dorchester ; Matcham's Hotel, Southampton ; of Henry Compigne, Esq., solicitor, 24, Bucklersbury ; at the Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE NEW CARRIAGE.—Mr. Booth, the carriage builder to the North-Western, has lately constructed a first-class carriage upon a new and improved principle. The car riage is adapted for the accommodation of four-and twenty passengers, with guards and luggage, and mea sures twenty-seven feet in length, by the usual width. It is divided into four bodies or compartments in one length, containing six divisions each, and runs upon eight wheels. The frame work is constructed in the usual manner, with springs, &c., but is divided into two parts, which, being separate, move on their own centres. The superiority of Mr. Booth's invention over the usual carriage consists in the increased accommodation afforded to passengers, the absence of any oscillation, the light ness of the draught, and the great facility and safety in rounding curves. The carriage has lately made several journeys to London. The cost of construction amounts to about six hundred pounds. FAS,L OF A BUILDING ON THE FRENCH NORTHERN LINE.—On Friday last, the large wooden building at Lisle, in which the company gave the banquet to the Princes and the company invited to the inauguration of the line, and which was recently being prepared for a waiting-room for passengers, fell with a frightful crash. Not one of the supporting timbers resisted. Fortunately the numerous workmen employed within had just gone to breakfast. Had they remained a few minutes longer, the consequences would have been most calamitous. The excavation of the earth around the supporting beams was the cause of the accident The Jamaica journals describe a singular detention on the line between Spanish-town and Kingston. It appears that the train did not arrive at Spanish-town on Tues day evening until six o'clock, much to the alarm and anxiety of those who expected the arrival of their rela tives or friends. The account of the delay, given by one of the passengers, states that the train started from Kingston at the usual hour, and proceeded at a brisk rate to Gregory Park, where it stopped. On making off again, however, the engine was immovable, and after a considerable time expended in endeavouring to move her off by crowbars, &e., the engineer was obliged to back the train for about a mile and then return. It then proceeded to Grange-lane, where having stopped, the same inconvenience again arose. After a great deal of trouble the engine was again got off, and the train pro ceeded as far as Batty's-pen, near Spanish-town, where it stopped to take in water. On attempting to move off from there it was found to be a matter of impossibility, Some persons attribute this untoward circumstance to a part of the machinery in the engine having been disar ranged, while others impute it to an insufficiency of steam, the train being excessively heavy, having no less than five loaded waggons besides the usual carriages. When in this last disagreeable situation the major part of the passengers quitted the train, and proceeded to Spanish-town, whilst the engine was detached from the train and proceeded to Spanish-town, where the deficiency having been remedied, it returned for the train, which eventually arrived safe and sound. PRICE SD. IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, Nov. 23.—The regular meeting of the mem bers of this body was held to-day in the Conciliation Hall. There was a large attendance in all parts of the building. Upon the motion of Mr. O'Connell, seconded by Mr. Edward Costello, the chair was taken by Mr. Michael Dunne, justice of the peace. Mr. RAY, the secretary, .having read the minutes of the previous meeting, Mr. O'CONNELL stated that he wished to say a few words of himself in allusion to the attack made upon him by the Times, for it was one of the most curious inci dents in his life.—(L•cud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheering.) The Times had attacked him with reference to a paragraph which appeared in the Cork Examiner, and which it had copied, with the addition of heading it Mr. O'Connell's tenantry."—(Hear, hear.) Now he (Mr. O'Connell) had felt it necessary, at the previous meeting, to accuse the Times of publishinf , what was untrue, and sending it over the world that the troop of people alluded to by the Examiner were his tenantry ; and it had the audacity to publish an article since, deny ing that he had denied that those unfortunate people were his tenants.—(Hear, hear.) What - was the fact ? lie had denied it in the fullest possible manner in terms, and had further stated that they were the tenants of an absentee landlord ; and he would ask, was it not too bad that such a paper as the Times should endeavour to mislead the people of England as to his conduct as a landlord ? The Learned Gentleman then read the re port of his speech from the Freeman's Journal of Tues day last, and also referred to the notes of the Govern ment reporter to show that he made this denial. Mr. THOMAS STEELE then proceeded to attack the same paper, for refusing to publish Mr. O'Connell's reply to the Times' Commissioner, even for payment. Mr. O'CONNELL handed in 201. from Waterford, and read the following letair from Dr. Blake, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Dromore, enclosing his subscription of 31.: " Violet-hill, Newry, Nov. 22. " My dear and venerated FrienCl,—Yoli will please give my annual subscription to the Association for 1847, being 31., with but this observation, that I remain sled fastly attached to the cause of repeal—more so, indeed, now than ever, and am anxious for its attainment by peaceable, legal, and constitutional means, and by none other. I have no doubt that you will endeavour, by your advice, and by your influence, as far as you can consistently with just principle, to heal those dissensions which distract, and afflict, and strike with dismay the public mind, and I hope that all sincere repealers—and there are still very many even among the seceders — will, for the sake of Ireland's welfare, and for the love and reverence which I am sure they bear to you, meet your efforts for reconciliation as acts of condescension on your part ; and when reentered into Conciliation hall, will not only adhere inviolably to your peaceable course of arriving at the object of the national desire— domestic legislation—but will also strenuously, and with redoubled energy, second your glorious efforts. " With the deepest sentiments of respect and grati tude, I have the honour to be, my dear and venerated friend, your obliged and faithful humble servant, __ _ "t M. BLAKE. " Mr. Daniel O'Connell, M.P." This letter having been entered on the minutes, Mr. O'CoNNELL said he was prepared to bring up his report upon the disunion existing amongst repealers, and in doing so wished to say that no man was more anxious than he was that the friends of Ireland should be joined hand in hand to restore to her her Parliament ; but he believed it was impossible, for it would be seen by the report he was about to read that the question between the Old and Young Ireland parties was, in point of fact, should the Association adopt the doctrine of " physical force" or not?—(Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read the report, which was of great length, and set forth the various points at issue between the Old and Young Ireland parties. Of . the latter, the report says— " On the other hand, there now stands forward, as the prominent head of a party, such as it is, a body to be called, or at least to be known by the denomination of The Literary Phalanx'—men who, with various degrees of talent, choose to write in the attitude in which the late Sir Judkin Fitzgerald declared that he wrote—that is, with a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other ; giving rather a ludicrous image of a Literary Associa tion,' with three hands and no heart. _ " The Phalanx' has now organised itself, or is about to do so, and it cannot be expected from its members that they will totally abandon the use of the sword. They are too much in the wrong not to intrude that sword upon our peaceable proceedings. They know that all we want is the total and unconditional disclaimer of the use of the sword as an instrument for procuring con stitutional rights and improvements, whilst we avow the right to use that sword in the defence against attack of an illegal and unconstitutional nature by domestic op pressors or foreign invaders." The report then proceeds to give a detailed history of Mr. O'Connell's own exertions previous to the passing of the Emancipation Act, the organization of the Catholic Association, &c., and again reverting to the superiority of the moral force principles as opposed to the theories of the " Phalanx," thus concludes:— " And am I to quit a policy thus lauded, thusrsanc tioncd, even by those who demand a change? " I ask this question, referring to another and a higher consideration—am I to change this policy, this lauded policy, to quit the paths of safety and prudence, and to involve myself and all the members of the Repeal Asso ciation in legal crime and punishment ? "It should not be forgotten that the slightest admix ture of the avowed principle of physical force—the slightest shrinking from the exclusive use of the peace able principle, would convert the Repeal Association, from being a legal and most meritorious body, into an unlawful assembly, verging on, if not engulphed in, a traitorous, or at least a seditious assembly. " There are men who say that the law is unjust and oppressive, and that much ought to be risked in order to defeat its provisions. I totally reject every assertion of that kind. I will never consent to violate the law upon a chance of escaping punishment. Besides, I ab jure, in everything, - the physical force policy in seeking for the repeal of any law. "It has been said and repeated, and will be said and repeated, notwithstanding refutation, that the Repeal Association ought to have allowed the principle the use of physical force to be debated, and that we have im properly precluded discussion by totally preventing any such debate. Those who say so should already know, or, if they do not know it, they should be informed of the absolute necessity of our' continuing our organized plan of obtaining the restoration of our national Parlia ment. " Let me conclude by again referring to the state of the controversy between us and the seceders. The ques tion between us and them is one of principle on our part. It is a principle without which the Association must cease to exist—the principle of seeking for the repeal by peaceable and legal means alone. Founded on this prin ciple—adhering to this principle—refusing to allow it to be broken in upon, diminished, or even tarnished by the seceders, we devote ourselves to the cause of the Irish people. We will never relax ; we will never compro mise ; we will never postpone the assertion of our right to an Irish legislature. We will never cease our efforts, till we re-establish the nationality of Ireland, and make her what she ought to be, Great, glorious, and free, First flower of the earth, and first gem of the sea.' " DANIEL O'CONNELL, " Chairman of Committee." The report having been ordered to be inserted on the minutes by acclamation, and directed to be printed at the expense of the Association, At half-past three o'clock the rent was announced as 54l 18s. 9d. The report read by Mr. O'Connell was substituted for the usual " speech of the day." During the reading of it his voice frequently faltered, and occasionally sunk so low as to be wholly inaudible, except to those immedi ately around him. THE ALLEGED ACCIDENT TO LORD CLIFDEN.--We are happy in being able to explain that the serious acci dent which we announced in yesterday's impression as having happened to Lord Clifden, in having been pre cipitated over a railway bridge, turns out to be incorrect, although a very serious, and perhaps unprecedented, accident occurred between one and two o'clock on Mon day to his Lordship's cousin, the Hon. Mr. Lascelles. It seems that Mr. Lascelles and a younger brother were on their way from Lady Dover's residence at Itoehamp ton to Camden Park, on two of Lord Clifden's horses, attended by one of his Lordship's grooms, and when near the bottom of Putney Park-lane, from some cause not understood, the horse on which the elder young gentleman was riding became unmanageable, and darted off at full speed. On passing over the high railway bridge on Barnes-common he came with all his force against the parapet, very much injuring himself, and lacerating the leg and ankle of the rider, who was, by the concussion, thrown over, falling on the metal rail below. He was here taken up by the railway policeman and two or three persons who saw the accident, perfectly , senseless, with wounds on several parts of bis body, in dependently of the great injury done to his leg. In this state he was immediately removed in a cart to the resi dence of Mr. Shillito, surgeon, at Putney, where he remained full three hours before it was considered safe for Lady Dover (who had hastened to him on hearing of the accident) to remove him to her Ladyship's residence in the neighbourhood. We are happy to find that, con sidering the complication and serious nature of the injuries he has received, he is going on favourably. .. RODI3ERY AFTER:ATTENDING A FUNERAL.—George Day, a lime burner, was brought before the county ma gistrates at Rochester, on Monday, on a charge of hav ing robbed his uncle, John Day, of a silver watch and 295. in money. On Friday the prosecutor had been to the funeral of his brother, the father of the accused, and in the evening accompanied the prisoner to the Lower Bell public-bouso, on the Maidstone road, where they sat for some time drinking together. The prose cutor, stupified with liquor, fell asleep, and whoa he awoke, about half-past one o'clock in the morning, dis covered that he had been robbed. The nest day the prisoner pawned the watch at Rochester, and afterwards disposed of the ticket to another man, and the same day was taken into custody at the Nag's Head public-house.

On Nov. 30th, No. Z 9, Post Bve., 2s. 6d., GATHERINGSFROM SPAIN By RICHARD FORD, Esq., Author of " The Handbook for Spain: CAMBRIAN AND GRAND JUNCTION. A meeting of shareholders in this defunct scheme was summoned to assemble at the offices of Mr. S. Tripp, 2, Adelaide-place, London-bridge, ' yesterday, at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of adopting some measure for the extraction from the directors of the whole amount of the deposits paid up, of which the directors have offered to return 1/. Bs. per share. At half-past twelve there were seven persons in the room, six of whom were reporters, and the seventh either a shareholder or a sufferer from curiosity suffi ciently morbid to overcome the natural disinclination to out-door exercise generally excited by the falling of rain in torrents through a villanous November atmosphere. After the lapse of another quarter of, an hour, Mr. Tripp, accompanied by another, made his appearance, and having expressed his surprise and regret at the absence of his constituents, added his fears that none could be expected at that hour, and so the affair ter minated. SHEFFIELD AND MACCLESFIELD. A meeting of the shareholders was advertised to be held yesterday, to consider the dissolution of the com pany, and whether such dissolution should or not be taken as an act of bankruptcy. Some shareholders were in attendance at the hour stated in the notice, but the directors did not make their appearance until within ten minutes of twelve o'clock. On the arrival of the directors, it was found that the apartment where the parties were assembled was not sufficiently large, and an adjournment took place to a room in the Corn Exchange. Mr. Chaplin presided. Major COURT begged leave to offer a preliminary ob jection to the legal validity of the meeting, on the ground thet the company, at the expiration of twelve months, had not been re-registered. The CHAIRMAN—We are registered under the Act. Mr. CURTISS observed that they should have sent in a return in writing specifying the number of shares, scrip, or receipts issued, the amount of each share, and the deposit paid or to be paid thereon, under a penalty of 20L, and that had not been done. Mr. KrTox inquired if the directors were now prepared to give an account of their stewardship? The CHAIRNAN said the accounts had been ready for inspection in the office. Major COURT observed that he had attended at the office and could not see them. Mr. gather from the directors, that the ac counts have been published. CHAIRMAN—They are not published, but they are laid open. Mr. KNox then supposed it was open - to the share holders to receive information; that the directors did not want to conceal anything, and were ready to answer any questions put to them. He hoped they had no objection to answer such questions. The CHAIRMAN—But I do not think this is the place to answer them. The meeting ispegal —as it is illegal, I dissolve the meeting. Any proper question lam ready to answer. There are the accounts open. Mr. CURTISS (to the chairman) —By what authority did yon burke this company ? Mr. HOLLOWAY (a director)—Do not answer impertil nent questions.—(Expressions of disapprobation.) Do you call it gentlemanly language to ask " Did you burke this company ?" The Chairman left the chair. Mr. KNox—A more monstrous proceeding I never witnessed. Mr. HOLLOWAY—AII I have to say is, that the direc tors bad a great deal of trouble, and have not pocketed one halfpenny of your money. A PROPRIETOR—That is yet to be seen. Mr. KNox—l never saw such conduct. Mr. HOLLOWAY—That is matter of opinion. Mr. CURTISS—There are eighty-seven gentlemen forming this committee—bankers, merchants, men of the first character in the City, and yet they withhold in formation from us, and say, " do not answer any im pertinent questions. Mr. Knox—Allow me to test the disposition of the directors by another question. I wish to inquire at what period the allotments were issued, the number of shares applied for, the number allotted, and the number taken up. Mr. CHAPLIN—If you go to the solicitor's office you will see. Major COURT—Are you prepared to return the Par liamentary deposit— Mr. CHAPLIN—A gunieal Major Court—That is, 2/. a share? Mr. CHAPLIN (to the other directors)—Are you pre pared to return it? (No answer.) My difficulty is, we have several actions now against the directors; and it is difficult for me to answer questions in a public room this way; but we are prepared to give an account. Mr. K.Nox—l will ask the directors if they have any objection to submit the books to the inspection of a com mittee appointed by this meeting? Mr. HOLLOWAY—Certainly we have, with actions hanging over our heads. Would you produce a deed that was questioned? No doubt you are the mouthpiece of some of them.—(General expressions of •disappro bation.) The meeting then separated. IMPROVEMENTS IN NEW AUSTRALIA.—Sixteen sergeants of the Royal Artillery, two sergeants and two corporals of the Royal Sappers and Miners, have been selected at Woolwich, and will embark in the course of the week, for the district of New Australia, over which Captain Sir William Dennison was recently appointed Governor. The sergeants and corporals are to receive their pay as non-commissioned officers until Christmas next, when they will be placed on the pension list, and receive pensions according to their length of services. They are each to receive 201. as an outfit, with a free passage for themselves, their wives, and children, in cluding rations. On embarkation they will each be al lowed 4s. 6d. per day, in addition to their pay as non commissioned officers, to Christmas, and to their subse quent pension after that period. On their arrival at the colony in New Australia they will be appointed over seers or superintendents of the formation of roads, under the direction of the Governor, Sir William Den nison, and will be dividedinto three classes, according to ability, the first class receiving 10s. each per day in ad dition to the pension, the second class 7s. 6d., and the third class 4s. 6d. per day. This selection of so m a ny trustworthy non-commissioned officers of the Ordnance c orps for responsible situations, and the liberality of the pay and privileges offered, has given great satisfaction to the intelligent and deserving non-commissioned officers of that branch of her Majesty's service. EXTERNAL DECORATIONS : HINT TO SHOPKEEPERS AND LANDLORDS. —Extraordinary advances have been made within a few years, in the internal and external architectural arrangements of houses for the purposes of trade. Architects of eminence have directed their atten tion to this subject, ar.d some beautiful shops now adorn our towns; and a tradesman about to commence business on a grand scale might, by engaging an architect and a painter, have a beautiful design tastefully executed, at a cost much less in amount than the methods of advertise ment resorted to in almost every instance. When the splendour of the Parisian cafes is remembered, it must be admitted that latterly, in this country, painting has been but sparingly employed in aid of architecture.— Thee Builder. Her Majesty the Queen of Spain has been pleased to confer on his Excellency Don Pedro Juan de Zulueta, the eminent Spanish merchant, the hereditary rank and title of the Count de Torre Diaz. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.—A return, to an order of the louse of Commons, made up to the Ist of June, 1846, of the Joint Stock Companies, which have been registered in conformity with the provisions of 7 and 8 Vic. 110, comprises, under distinct heads, a list of existing, of provisionally registered, and of completely registered companies. The first is a return of compa nies registered, as having been in existence previous to September 5, 1844. It merely gives the title and the date of the registration of these companies, of which there are 994. The second is a return of 1,633 provisionally registered eompanies, the formation of which was begun subsequently to September 5, 1844. In 1,112 of these there has been no registry of directors. T.ba names of the directors of the remaining number foci the subject of a separate branch of the return. In I ILI out of the 1,633 projects no capital has been declared,And in the 770 in which there is a return of the amount of capital, it reaches the enormous figure of 634,127,5501., of which 40,000,0001. was required for " Cooke's Na tional Railway," and 35,000,0001. for the " British and Irish Granary Corn-mill Company and Provident Institution." The third part of the return contains a list of the compantes which have been completely re gistered since September 1844. They number 115, and their joint capital (excepting one, the " New Protecting Society," which does not propose to raise any), amounts to 29,774,220/. Of these 24 are gas, 16 railway, 14 in surance, 7 steam-packet , 7 building, 7 loan or invest ment, 6 mining, 5 glass, 3 mill, 3 cemetery, 2 coal, 2 salvage, 2 iron, 2 brewery, 2 market-house, 1 bonding warehouse, 1 smelting, 1 tontine, 1 bath, 1 emigration, 1 cork-cutting, I screw-ship, 1 baking, 1 Decca sugar, I commercial, 1 railroad- carriage, and 1 oyster com panies. The names of the di re ctors of these several companies are set forth in a separate branch of the return. OTAHEITE.—The following memorial to Lord Pal merston, on the subject of French interference in Otaheite, was adopted at a public meeting held in the Town-hall of Tewkesbury on Friday last, the mayor in the chair:— " We the inhabitants of the borough of Tewkesbury and its vicinity, beg l eave to express to your Lordship our deep sympathy with the Queen and Christian people of Otaheite, in their sufferings under the dominion of the French in that island, and the contiguous island of Eimeo. That whilst we are anxious most carefully to avoid any movement which might by possibility embroil the respective Governments of France and England, we do most earnestly entreat her Majesty's Government to adopt such measures, through negotiation or otherwise, as shall by specific mutual guarantees ensure to the inhabitants of the Society Islands, namely, Raiatea, Taahaa, Boroboro, Iluahine, and Maupiti, the peaceable and permanent p ossess i on o f t h e i r na tive soil. We moreover urgently implore your Lordship to obtain from the French Gover nment a positive and explicit p led g e that any portion of th e Otaheitian population who may be disposed to retire from that island and from Eimeo shall be empowered so to do, without molestation or subse quent interference with their persons or property. MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE.—LiSZt, the pianist, has left Vienna for Constantinople. On his return he will most probably succeed Donizetti, whose malady is in curable, as Kapebneaster, at the Court of Vienna. Henri Herz, the pianist, and Camilla Sivori, the violinist, have given concerts at Now York with brilliantsuccess. Mdme Cinti Damoreau, the vocalist, and Emile Prudent, the pianist, have given a concert in Paris, the proceeds of which have been devoted to the relief of the sufferers of the recent terrible inundations. The receipts were consi derable, an unusual result in entertainments devoted to the purposes of charity. Gardoni, the singer, having broken his engagement with M. Leon Fillet (M.

THE RIVER PLATE. • EXTRACTS OF, LETTERS RE C EIVED FROM MONTE VIDEO PER HER MAJESTY'S I'ACKET., MONTE VIDEO, SEPT. 14, 1846.—Mr. Hood sailed last night in the Gorgon, and we hope and trust he will soon be in England. All sorts of malicious reports and erroneous statements are current respecting him and his mission since his departure, which it w6uld be ridiculous to repeat, but it is melancholy to see how party feeling and passion has blinded men in this unfortunate city. We have been informed that her Majesty's steamer Alecto has been getting in readiness for some days past for a long voyage, of which parties are to be kept in ignorance. Ascension is the first place she is to go to, and yet the coast of Africa is not her destination, con sequently it is supposed she will proceed to England, and that the object of her going is by a more expeditious route to arrive before Mr. Hood in the Gorgon, with Messrs. Ouseley and Deffaudis's statements respecting the part they have taken in the late affair; and we should not be very much surprised to see the Baron himself go in her, especially after what we have lately heard; and you may rest assured that no stone will be left unturned by these men to establish . their case; if possible; so-that we do not lose sight of a thing of this kind, though, after all, it may prove to be a mistake. -- - Some rumours are current here of a revolution in Cor- rientes, which we believe to be all fudge. MONTE VIDEO, SEPT. 15.—The Griffon has suddenly been ordered to leave for Rio, but we have no idea with what object. Nothing further transpires respecting the Alecto. We have dates from Buenos Ayres to the 13th inst., but nothing of interest has occurred in politics. .(From a Sccond Edition of the Liverpool Times of yesterday.) We have received a Rio paper of the 3d October, which is a day later than those of which we have given an account in another column. It brings down the news from Buenos Ayres to the 15th September, and from Monte Video to the 19th. From Buenos Ayres we learn that Dr. Miienna and Mr. Tenker, both medical men, and the latter an American citzien, had been apprehended for not wearing the red ribbons, the symbol of the Rosas party. Nothing had been heard in Buenos Ayres from Cor rientes, and a letter of the 15th says, that people again begin to call Urquiza a traitor. POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. Schonbein's powder cotton and other explosives have formed the subject of Dr. Ryan's lecture this week. The Doctor, first of all, explained that all explosives might be classed under four heads. First, those whose power depended merely on sudden expansion, as steam of high pressure—liquid carbonic acid and compressed air. Secondly, those whose power depends upon the sudden separation of elements which had been held together by a very feeble affinity, such as iodide of nitrogen and chloride of nitrogen. The latter compound, the Doctor explained, was composed of two elements, which in their separate condition were gaseous, but under the influence of che mical attraction became liquid. The moment, however, that the affinity is overcome an explosion occurs, owing to the return of the chlorine and nitrogen to their original condition. Thirdly, those whose explosive action depends upon the sudden chemical union of certain elements which previously had only been in a state of mere mechanical mixture, such as the explosion of the two gases oxygen and hydrogen by the electric spark. Fourthly, such as on ignition suffered decomposition, and formed consequently new and distinct compounds. To this class belongs gunpowder, the fulminates, the carbazotes, and the powder cotton. In speaking of the latter substance, Dr. Ryan laniented that he was so placed as to be unable, without a breach of confidence, to communicate the precise secret of Schonbein's mode of preparation. Homer, he entered into a clear statement of the peculiar action of nitric acid upon vegetable fibre, giving numerous instances of the observance of facts, apparently not important in them selves, which had evidently led to Schonbein's disco very. Amorg the most pleasing Of the Doctor's experi ments were those in which he produced explosive pre cipitates, by pouring into water the solution in nitric acid of starch, cotton, linen, sawdust, &c. The pre cipitate from the first he showed to be xilordine of Bracconnot and of Pelouze, and the nitramidine of Dumas. He also showed most clearly that, although the precipitates thrown down from cotton and linen re semble in its general character that produced from starch, yet there existed some slight molecular differ ence, such as may exist between starch and sugar; for the cotton precipitate was not soluble in acetic acid while the starch precipitate was. The Doctor proposed that, as Dumas had called the one nitramidine, the other should be called nitrolignine. The Doctor principally confined his experiments on the cotton to such as showed its easy inflammability, its explosion without smoke, and its consequent value in mining operations. On the table we noticed the gun which had been burst in Mr. Lancaster's hands, while firing a charge of 83 grams. The effect on the metal was, certainly, most curious. LAURENT'S CASINO.—This novel place of enter tainment, in which the amusements of the concert and ball room are so happily blended, is now entirely established in public favour; it is nightly crowded by a highly respectable company, who are apparently very e ell pleased with the entertainments presented by the spirited proprietor, Mr. Ellis. Not a vestige of the scientific instruments, which formerly, to so little pur pose, stocked the gallery, is now to be seen. The con cert consists usually of a dozen well selected pieces from the compositions of Mozart, Bellini, Donizetti, Balfe, &e. A very well arranged orchestra, under the able direction of M. Laurent, jun., gives due effect to these selections. The vocalists engaged are Miss Clairton, Messrs. Binge, De Courcy, J. Roe, and the popular Ernie singer, Mr. Sharpe, all of whom sing in a very praiseworthy style the music allotted to them. The dances are each evening varied, and comprise the most popular quadrilles, polkas and waltzes; among which are " La Peri," Musard; " The Brunnaw," Tinney; " The Tzanmeister," Strauss, &c. Six efficient masters of the ceremonies render the dances orderly and complete. By a judicious arrangement the amusements cease half an hour before midnight, by which means late hours and consequent fatigue are avoided, to the comfort of the visitors. THE FIRE IN CLERRENWELL.—ADDITIONAL PAR.. TICULARS.—The fire which broke out yesterday morn ing upon Messrs. Palmer's candle factory, in Allen street, St. John-street, Clerkenwell, briefly noticed in this journal yesterday, was attended with serious de struction of property. At the lowest estimate it will reach to several thousand pounds. The factory, which is totally destroyed, was upwards of 120 feet long by 60 or 70 feet wide. It was filled with goods, some fmished and others partially. The firemen were unable to get the flames entirely extinguished until nearly six o'clock. Although to exp d l a i diligent e the n t causesearchof h the as made,could be no thing tend ing ascer tained. When the factory was closed the p revious night ev erything appeared perfectly safe. We are g iven to understand that upwards of one hu ndred men will be thrown out of employment by the calamity. The follow ing is Mr. Braidwood's official report of the damage done : Messrs. Palmer's factory in Allen-street, burned down, and contents destroyed—insured in the Phoenix ; Nos. 1,2, 3, and 4, Compton-court, let out in tenements, front scorched and window glass demolished ; Nos. 5, 6, and 7, several squares of glass broken in buildings. and damage to furniture by removal ; No. 61, Compton street, J.

PROPOSED BREAKWATER AT BRIGHTON.—A pub lic meeting of the inhabitants of Brighton was held at the Town-hall, on Monday, for the purpose of taking into consideration a communication from the Brighton Suspension Pier Company, respecting their intention to construct a fixed breakwater at the south end of the chain pier fur its protection, and t fishmg o -b a o ff at o s r , d asnhde other ships, steam-packets , y achts, vess els, and to facilitate the embarking and_ disembarkin g of passengers, goo ds, and merchandise. .W Catt, Esq., t h e hi g h -constable, was calle d to the chair. Sir Samuel Brown, the engineer of the Pier Company, explained the principle of the proposed breakwater, which is to be erectsd on the south of the pier -head, not exceeding a quarter of a mile distance, and extending about the same length in a crescent form east to west, which would afford shelter for steam-packets of all classes, and access to the pier at all times. The breakwater will be constructed of a series of iron bars, formed into a mas sive framework, and well ballasted with granite blocks. t ors of npe ticeht theanheidßc advantages lml The section in depth was to be eighty feet, so as to break e completely the force of the waves.
