Accounts from all parts of Scotland agree in repre senting the prospects of the herring fishery, which has lately commenced, as most promising. Not only is the quantity taken large—larger than the average of the two last seasons— but the quality is uncommonly good. Hitherto the demand for the fish has not been very great, in consequence of the un usual abundance of salmon in the market, the price of which is lower than it has been known to be for many years. An im mense quantity of herrings is annually sent from the east coast of Scotland to Liverpool, Lancaster, and Hull. Ireland, too, is one of the best marts for this species of fish, although the demand for them there does not commence till about a month or six weeks hence, when the potato crop has been secured. We see in the Derby Reporter an account of a serious accident which took place near that town on Sunday, in consequence of the horses in the mail taking fright at a cart drawn by dogs. These cruelty carts drawn by dogs are an in tolerable nuisance, and ought to be put down by a general de termination not to purchase anything of the fellows who so use dogs. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 5, 1037- MIDDLESEX ELECTION. YESTERDAY. It having been announced that Mr. Hume would address the electors at the close of the poll from the bus ings at Charing-cross, a large number of persons colle c t e l t h ere. theA t that c he hour Chairman tte telflehs Committee, Hion.GentlemaeneddwroaNsc proceeding t o a d- up, attended by ' dress the meeting, when a heavy shower, which lasted for upwards of twenty minutes, suddenly dispersed those as sembled, and an adjournment took place to the Reform Committee Room at the Ship Hotel, Charing-cross. The Chairnian of the Committee, Mr. Fearon, then gave the gross poll made up till Two o clock. Byng 4492 Hume 4145 Wood ...... 4424 Pownall State of the Day's Poll at Two o'Clock, Hume Byng 955 Wood 835 817 Pownall Mr. HOME th en a dd resse d those assembled. He did not know the result of the election, but assuming that he was beaten, ho honestly declared that he did not care for himself, but he was much grieved at the expected result on account of the great and glorious cause for which they were all fighting—the loss would be to the nation, —not to him.---(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") The Tories had beaten them—not by the honest and free votes of the electors within the county, but by the out-voters, and by the necessarily enormous expense attendant upon the bringing up of that class of the constituency. He was ashamed of the City of London upon this occasion—it had not done its duty. It was a most serious thing for the Reformers to know that in a stand-up fight—h 6 would not—indeed he dare not, call it a fair one —they had been beaten by the Tories. The cause was obvious : the Tories had been active, industrious, and well organised. On the other hand, the Reformers had been apathetic, indolent, and self-confiding. The Hon. Gentleman said, with much emphasis, "1 have been beaten in Middlesex—but the Tories have miscalculated. I can assure them they sha'nt get rid of me." The Hon. Gentle man then retired amidst loud cheering. Mr. FEAZON. then addressed a few words to the .meeting. He said they had then the returns from the va rious districts made up only till Two o'clock. But if their fears with regard to Mr. Hume's defeat should be realized, the result would be a great national disgrace. Mr. Hume was not an ordinary man. He had not like many other politicians been content with making speeches and propounding theories—one half of which were impractica ble, brought forward for the mere purpose of courting po pular applause, or feeding popular ignorance —Mr. Hume had directed his mind to all those subjects affecting the well being of the community, not confining himself to the finances of the country, but stretching far into the soundest and wisest views of political economy. If any portion of their defeat had arisen from the clamour which was most disreputably and dishonestly raised upon the subject of the Poor Law Bill, that would only prove the extreme ignorance of the people, and the thorough want of principle among the well-informed of the Tories, who availed them selves of the prejudice which existed against the Bill, which they themselves had helped to carry, for the most base and dishonourable purposes.—(Hear, hear.) But it ought not to be concealed from those present, nor from any Englishman, that the true cause of. failure arose from the great want of political knowledge which existed throughout the country, and the *ant of a right understanding of the relative station of the representative and,..the constituent. The constituent imagined, and the excessive canvass now considered necessary rather aided that feeling, that ho had a favour to confer, instead of feeling as the obliged party if faithfully and honourably represented. With regard to the PoorAaw Bill, he felt quite confident that whatever tempo rary success might attend Tory clamour upon that subject, it would be viewed as a measure which had substantially been the salvation of English society, whether poor or rich. The Honourable Gentleman was again com plaining of the want of political integrity in the con stituency, when he was interrupted by a cry of " Give them the 4 -" v" He proceeded—the ballot would The Jury gare a verdict in faviur of the defendant a eight o'clock. LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY. Most distressing accidents are of frequent occurrence in mining districts. We were never before called upon to re cord so unfortunate and melancholy an occurrence—either with respect to loss of property or human life—as the one which took place in the coal mines of Mr. Curwen at Work ington, on Friday night last. The principal workings in Mr. Curwen's collieries extend a long way under the sea. In the Lady Pit the Camperdown band runs rapidly to wards the surface in the direction of the shore, and it was here the miners lied fora long time been employed. As they proceeded onwards with their labour the thickness, of the covering between the sea and the workings was daily reduced by their operations, until, at the time the accident occurred, it is supposed to . have not exceeded fifteen fathems, only four fathoms of which were freestone, the rest loose gravel and sand. The coal having been thus cut away to within so short a distance, and the excavated seam being so great—eleven or twelve feet—added to the re. (novel of some pillars, the superincumbent strata gave way, the water rushed in from the sea, and three valuable mines, Lady Pit, Isahella Pit, and Union Pit, were almost in stantaneously filled and rendered for ever useless. At the time the sea broke in there. were fifty-seven men and boys in the mine, thirty of whom escaped by the bear, mouth, but twenty-five men and two boys were overtaken by the water and perished. In addition to thik, twenty-eight valuable horses also perished. It was fortunate the accident took place at the hour of changing the shift, when comparatively few men were in the pits, otherwise the loss of life might have been much more extensive. Several of the survivors were within three hundred yards of the place where'the water broke in, which had the effect of not only instantly changing the cur rent of air in the mine, but of rendering it comparatively cold: This at once convinced them all was not right, and they made.the best of their way to what is called the bear mouth, and escaped. The current of air, as the men ascended the inclined plane, was so great from the pressure of the water, that the men experienced the greatest difficulty in keening their footing, and had the trap-doors not been uncommonly good, it is thought very few would have escaped with life. As a man named Bland, who had gone dovrn to rende r assistance, was returning, the outer door was closed IV the violence of the current, and opening inwards, he tried in vain to move it. At length, however, he succeeded in breaking ono of the boards of which the door was formed, and such was the rush of air through the aperture, that he was carried with tremendous force through the opening, and thus escaped. The place where the water broke into the pit is nearly a mile and a half from the shaft, between Salterbeck and Harrington, and about forty or fifty yards below low water-mark. The three pits were filled with water by half-past ten, an hour and a half from the time the roof gave way. A vessel sailed over the opening on Saturday, the captain of which supposes the aperture to be little short of an acre in extent; but as his conjecture was formed from the extent of the discoloured water, the pro bability is that his surmise much exceeds the actual extent. Owing to a considerable body of water having for nearly twelve months past made its way into the pit at the place Where the accident happened, the experienced workmen frequently cautioned the viewer of their danger, but their counsel was disregarded. The men were daily working at the place, removed the coal to the full extent of the band, and occasionally took away part of the pillars, and had therefOre ample opportunity of judging for themselves. The pits' were amply furnished with every necessary article ; tb 2 outlays for improvements were liberal and upon an ex th-ai:'.s: scale rt., plarnhar_rtf mnn nmnlntrntl mac, nr•rsntor. be almost irreparable, as the pits are rendered for ever useless. thrown out of nl sof work, 400 but m e Ar. n , and.

HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL MUNIFICENCE AND GPATITUDS. —Our readers may recollect a n account of an accident, in which her Majesty, shortly after her accession, was placed in some danger by the restiveness of the horses under her Royal carriage in descending Highgate-hill. Mr. Turner, the landlord of the Fox and Grapes, who was the most pro minent person in affording the requisite assistance, received a communication on Tuesday last, commandieir his attendance at the Palace on the following day. He attended accordingly, and was introduced to two gentlemen, who informed him that her Majesty had commanded his attendance, in order that his wishes might be ascertained with respect to the reward that he might have anticipated. Mr. Turner replied that he had not anticipated any further notice of his exertions, and that he had no request of any kind to make. He was then in formed that her Majesty was of opinion that if Mr. Turner were permitted to put up the Royal Arms it might be of some service to the business of his house, and, in addition, desired that he would accept a pocket-book and its contents, which accordingly was handed to him by the gentle.men. A further intimation was conveyed, that if, at any futuro time, Mr. Turner or his family should be in need of assistance from un looked for misfortunes of any kind they were always to bear in mind that they should have a firm friend in her Majesty. Mr. Turner was, of course, much rejoiced with his good for tune, and after offering his most. grateful acknowledgements, returned home in the words of his neighbours "a made man." Mr. Turner anticipates a great accession of business from his fortunate adventure, and expects that " The Queen's arms" 34,111 yet be honoured by an occasional call from her Majesty. With respect to the contents of the pocket-book Mr. Turner will not mention the amount, but says it is " heavy." The Marquis of Lansdowne left town yesterday for his scat, Bowood Park, Wilts. HYDROPIIOI3I A.—ln various parts of South Ame rica this dreadful disease is extremely common in the violent heats of summer. The wild beasts in a country but ill sup plied with streams, and in the long summer, when those springs are dried up, tear their flesh in agony with this disease. The wolves and all the dog kind Are the especial sufferers, but the jaguars or tigers, and perhaps all that roam the sandy plains are seized with this fury. Accidents arc of course common among the hunterl, herdsmen, and the people of the lower ranks in general; but they excite comparatively but little terror, from the frequency and simplicity of the cure. This is effected by taking two or three doses of a powdered root, which seems something of a hellebore genus, and of which Lieutenant Hardy gives the characters. The root throws the patient into the most profuse perspiration ; the second day generally com pletes the sure, though the patient remains woalt fur a time. It is remarkable that this root acts in the same manner as the only medicines which have been found a palliative of this dread ful disease in Europe. Sudorfics alone seem to have produced ‘v any effect here, and s o m e i nstances o f t h e s i ngu l ar f orce of the vapour b at h i n qu i et i ng the paroxysms have been given within these f ew years, wh i ch may tend to a more skilful treatment. All this, h owever, h as b een told to our English surgeons al ready. The r oo t i n quest i on h as even b een b rought to Eng land and o Still any m Without an, e v e n effect. an administered, know but, hard it how is to as is convince hospital surgeon, against his will, what slight circumstances may be taken advantage of, and what important ones may be neglected, where the mind of the experimentalist is not in fa vour of the operation : we must suspend our belief that the root which had so plainly wrought its cure in South America, becomes utterly useless in crossing the Atlantic. The man wha •• shall succeed in bringing hydrophobia within the power of European medicine will deserve the highest gratitude of Europe, and will doubtless receive the most valuable testimo nials of the liberality of England. —Blacktcood. Yesterday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, Mary Wilkinson, a fine young woman, t Nenty-one years of age, housemaid in the service of Mrs. 13:2rtram, of 13aker.strect; Portman -square, attempted to put a period to her existence in consequence of being accused by her fellow-servant with being .pregnant, which she solemnly denied. Yesterday morning she arose as usual, and proceeded to her work. At breakfast time she did not snake her appearance after being called, and one of her fellow-servants went in pursuit of her. On ap proaching th e water - c l oset s h e h ear d d rea df u l moans , an d the poer girl was discovered lying there in excruciating agony, with a tea-cup by her side, which had contained oil of vitriol„ which she had swallowed. Surgical assistance was piocured, but not the remotest hopes are entertained for her recovery. The unfortunate girl is six months advanced in pregnancy. The obstacles that interposed to the further improve ment and finishing the new street, Wellington-street North, hiving been removed, the workmen are making great progress towards its completi :n, having taken down a large portion of the old ruinous walls opposite the English Opera House, and a part of the house adjoining, at the north corner in the Strand. This is preparatory to laying the foundation of new houses, and making the street uniform and handsome, for at present the unfinished part has a very unsightly appearance. from bad to worse, one vicious habit following fast upon another, till the horse (which had been in the meantime purchased, and " warranted perfectly sound and quiet and gentle in harness") became quite useless. At starting, he would plunge back, rear upright, or bolt forward with such rapidity, as to render it impossible for aay one to. get into the gig without running by his side, and taking the opportu nity to do so at the risk of his neck. Under these eircum stanccs a letter was sent to the defendant, who took no notice of it, and the plaintiff sent the horse to stand at a cheap place, to abide the result of this action, which was immediately commenced. BRENTFORD-FRIDAY. Mr. HUMS, accompanied by several of h►s friends, ar rived here this morning at twelve o'clock, and on proceeding to the hustings, found them surrounded by a party of hired ruffians, armed with cudgels, who during the day insulted and threatened every elector who went up to record his vote for the Reform Candidates. To such an extent was the intimidation carried that several old and feeble persons hastened back, rather than run the risk of personal injury. On leaving the hustings, Mr. Hume was surrounded by a large body of the Tory bludgeon-men, and several missiles were flung at him. One athletic fellow, who ,appeared to be a leader of the mob, aimed a blow of a cudgel at the Hon. Gentleman, which was warded off by one of his friends, and with borne difficulty he was rescued from the mob, and was conveyed to his hotel. All parties here are highly indignant at the conduct of the hired mob, who, throughout yesterday and to-day render the boasted " freedom of election" little better than a farce. Mr. Humu.—lt was rumoured yesterday afternoon at the Committee-room of the Reform candidates for Middlesex, at Charing-cross, that Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt, ono of the Members for the borough of Lambeth, ;rill be immediately raised to the Peerage, and that Mr. Hume %rill be invited by the liberal constituency of that Borough to t.;.ke his place as their representative. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, AVG. 4. GOMPEItTZ V. ANSDELL. In this case, which has been frequently reported, the Court decided some time since, on the authority of the find ing of the jury at a trial of an issue in Exeter, that Henry Wiling Isaac was not a legitimate grandson of the testa tor, and that the property, therefore, ought to go according to the limitations of the will, in the event of the failure of direct issue. A new claimant has, however, appeared to dispute the title of the nephew, Mr. Gompertz, who in that case did take the residue, and having filed his bill the mattar was now argued on a demurrer put in by Gompertz. The question turns on the construction of the will, the ar gument being that the bequest to Gompertz is void from its remoteness.—Judgment postponed. EX-PARTE PRIDEAUX IN RE BUSH. This case came before the Court on an appeal from an order of the Court of Review, directing the assignees of Messrs. Bush and Prideaux to return to a Mr. Fussel, their articled clerk, a portion of the premium received at the time of the execution of indenture. The bankrupts were attorneys at Bristol. In March last they became bankrupts, the clerk having served two years out of five re quired by law ; and the question raised in the Court of Re view was whether he could as an apprentice of a trader claim a return of a portion of the premium of three hun dred pounds paid by the mother when he was articled. The Chief Judge in the Court of Review was of opinion that he could not be considered an apprentice within the meaning of the 49th section of the Gth of George IV. ; but the two other judg,s being of a different opinion, the order on the creditors for compensation to the petitioner, Fussel, was pronounced. Mr. BETHEL appeared in support of the appeal from that order, and argued that in legal language the clerk of an attorney was always distinguished from an apprentice of a trader, although, in point of fact, he might be looked upon as an apprentice to learn a profession. His LORDSHIP postponed his judgment until he had looked into the reasons given by the Judges of the Court of Review. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.---Nozirlu, Au. 3. BUCK V. IIAWKEB. This was an action to recover the value of a horse on a breach of warranty. The plaintiff and the defendant are both farmers in the neighbourhood of 'Sviaff ham, and the plaintiff having met with ariaccident iu a gig; and broken his leg through the vice of a horse alittlz 'time back, was anxious to replace him with a quiet steady animal. He accordingly applied to the defendant, who sent him the horse on trial on the 3d of March i n th e presen t y e ar. At first no cause of complaint was perceived, except a little impatience while in harness. This, however, soon grew PRICE sd. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE CROWN OFFICE, AuG. 3, 1837.

CORONERS' INQUEST. THE LONDON BRIDGE S---lAras.—Lo.st night an ad journed inquest was held in the vestry-room of. St. Magnus Church London-bridge, on the body of David Hadland, aged 37, a seaman bolonging to the Sir William Bev: trey, Bristol trading vessel, who was drowned in the Thames, in consequence of walking down the steps on the east side of London•bridge. The inquiry was adjourned from Wed nesday evening. A long discussion took place amongst the jury as to the present dangerous state of the steps leatiiiig from the bridge to the River, they considering that great blame was at tached to the Loldon-bridge Committee, in not placing proper protection at the bottom of the stairs. Verdict—" Found drowned ; and the Jury request the Coroner to represent to the London-bridge Committee the present dangerous state of the steps, and to have them fenced in."

MAGAZINE EDITORS.-I know how a monthly periodical will wear down one's existence. In itself it appears nothing—the labour is not manifest ; nor is it the labour—it is the continual attention which it requires. Your life becomes as it were the magazine. One month is no sooner corrected and printed, than on coxes the other. It is the stone of Sisy phus—an endless repetition of toil—a constant weight upon the mind—a continual wearing upon the intellect and spirits, demanding all the exertion of your faculties, at the same time that you are compelled to do the severest drudgery. To write for a magazine is very well, but to edit one is to con demn yourself to slavery. Thanks be to Heaven, I have passed my own Emancipation Bill. Magezine-writing, es it is generally termed, is the most difficult of all writing, and but few succeed in it ; the reason of which is obvious—lt must al ways be what is termed " up to the mark."—New Monthly Magazine fir August. ATTEMPT AT SuiciDE.---Between two and three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon a great sensstien was caused in Guildford -street, Southwark, by a respectable man, named Daniel Cronin, an engineer, whe resided at No. 15 there, with his family, consisting of a wife and five children, making a determined attempt at self-destruction. The unfortunate man, who is forty-eight years of age, had, for the last four teen years, held the situation of engineer to a large manufac tory in the neighbourhood, but having a fit of sickness he was obliged to give up his employm en t. D ur i ng hi s i llness the means of subisting his family became exhausted, and being unable to obtain another situation they became reduced to a state of extreme distress. On Wednesday Cronin returned home about dinner time, after unsuccessfully reeking employ ment, and found hi; wife and children without a morsel of food in the house, and in a state of starvation. He seemed to feel very acutely the miaerabie state they were in, and, after shedding tears, withdrew to the bedroom, saying he would lie down. Here it appeared the wretched man, overcome by his trouble, determined on self-destruction, and proceeded to ef fect his purpose by suspending himself with a clothes line to the foot-rail of the bedstead. The cord, however, it seems, was rotten, and breaking, Cronin fell on to the bed. Had he fallen on the floor his wife and family would have been alarmed, and the further attempt which he made in all probability pre ho cut himself twice across thie nisitic or roc tett-wrist., enese..- ing to let himself bleed to death if the wound in his throat should not prove fatal. Ills wife, surprised at his long ab sence, entered the room, and was struck with horror at disco vering her husband stretched on the bed, apparently in the agonies of death. Assistance was ditectly obtained, and he was removed to Guy's Hospital, where some slight hope is entertained that he may survive. He has since expressed great sorrow for the rash attempt, and declares that the dis tress of his family drove him mad. Mn. SPENCER'S TRAVELS IN CIRCASSIA, KRINf TAIITARY, &c.—Mr. Spencer seems to have pursued his in quiries among the Caucasian tribes, under circumstances of great advantage, and the most novel and important portion of his volumes is devoted to the subject of Circassia—a subject. at the present moment, of great importance. His work is full of curious and highly interesting details, as to the manners, personal appearance, way of life, character, and pursuits of the Circassian people; and it offers many points of description and observation which arc as novel and important, as they are amming, instructive, and characteristic of the singular nation to which they relate. The work is beautifully got up, I nd is embellished with Numerous plates, vignettes, maps, &c., which give to it an interzst which its intrinsic merits scarcely needed. —Naval and Military Gazette. _ INDIAN WA !C.—The villages of Hadley and Deerfield are a standing memorial of those times, when the whites clustered together around the village church, and their cattle were brought into the area, every night, under ,penalty of their being driven off before morning. These villages con sist of two rows of houses, forming a long street, planted with trees ; and the church stands in the middle. The houses, of wood, were built those days with the upper story projecting; that the inhallitants, in case of siege, might fire at advantage upon the Indians forcing the door with tomahawks. I saw au old house of this kind at Deerfield—the only one thst sur vived the burning of the village •by the French and Indians, in 1704, when all the inhabitants to the number of taco hundred and eighty, bein g attacked in their sleep, were killed or carried away captive by the Indians. The wood of the house was old and black, and pierced in many parts with ballet-holes. o.le had given pas sage to a bullet which shot a woman in the neck, as she rose up in bed, on hearing the tomahawk strike upoa the door. The battered door remains, to chill one's blood with the thought that such were the blows dealt by the Indians upon the skulls of their victims, whether infants or soldiers.—Miss Martineau's Society in Are erica.
