The territory of New Mexico lies north of the 26% perallel of latitude, and its greatest length from norm to :south is 700 miles ; from east to west, its bounder v has never been circumscribed within the limits of vertainty. Its geographical position is remarkably ese`lr e ular ; the Rio Grande p asses t h roug h i t nearly in v., central line from north to south. Its whole entire sr.rface is a suc cession of mountains rising in majestic splendour to that giddy height where even the cedar and pine can retain no foothold, their conic leetvas covered with the white veil of perpetual snow. The inhabitants live in the deep valleys, and upon the margin of the Rio Grande. Villages on the river are situated in its diffe rent bends, where a . suffic;,ency of bottom lands are left for the purpose of agriculture. The greatest extent oc cupied by settlerr.onts is three hundred miles in length and one huneAre.d in width ; the population, taken col lectively, is about fifty thousand. The first village in the north is El Pueblo de Taos, - which gives name to the valley in which it is situated. The original inhabitants are Indians, and known by the n'.me of Pueblos. They were in possession of this 'country when the Spaniards first visited Mexico, and they have remained until the present time. When the Spaniards extended their dominion over this Indian country, by the aid of Gospel missionaries, they found - those Pueblo Indians friendly, honest, and industrious, brave and confiding; endowed with great natural good sense—neighbours to be conciliate, but not subdued. The Pueblo of Taos is immetEately at the foot of the west side of the first ridge ok.' the Rocky Mountains. There is a small stream tlaat., issues from a ravine, flows out into a valley and eventually mixes its waters with the Rio Grande, which separates the two departments. The village possesses much singularity, combining great strength with the boldest conception in the architecture, .enjoying the most complete utility in its honey -comb formation. The village is formed of two distinct de partments, the rivulet dividing it in the centre. This, at first sight, might not seem to hare particular design. The buildings are exactly similar. The first, or base ment story, occupies a large area ; upon this is reared another story, being smaller than the first by ten feet— cach successive story falling off in the same ratio, until the pagoda becomes nine stories high. In the base ment story there are no doors, the entrance being through a round hole in the offset which forms the roof ; a pole being planter!, in the aperture, with a ladder attached, by which they ascend and descend. The buildings resemble pyramids, only being square. In the formation. of this village an equal number of the heads of fsmilies divided themselves off and laid two foundations precisely similar, and reared upon them two equal structures, What a field was here for emulation ! - what barriers to an assailing enemy l As their genera tions grew up, the youth from both sides would meet and in manly sport endeavour to excel. The great patron saint of the 'village is Saint Jerome; they having adopted the Catholic religion, through the powerful influence of missionaries from old Spain. The day of St. Jerome is celebrated by selecting thirty of the choicest youths from each side of the stream, to compete with one an other in manly sports. A race course is cleared out in front of the village, four hundred yards in length, and wide enough for two to run abreast. An equal number of the old men of each village are chosen to prepare the lists and marshal the competitors. Nothing can be so animating and soul-stirring to the beholder as to view those sixty champions in all the pride of naeure, adorned with the simplest arts and yet so ar,propriate. In making selections for the lists, the pride and boast of the villages are brought out, all are chiefte:ins of the greatest note. The honour of their aneieset houses is staxed upon them; their own fair fame is, entrusted to the race, and their feats are viewed by the " fairest of the fair." The houses present one vast 'pyramid of human beings —all the woman from the adjoining villages coming to witness this annual Cettival. About eleven o'clock the signal is given s - Ad the race commences. At each end of the track sta i d thirty runners, fifteen on a side ; as one starts from one end, another from the opposite party starts from the other, and the first thirty that run through, are considered as having gained the laurels of the day. They then form a grand procession, and in wild chorus of song surround the buildings, from - which in great profusion is showered upon them 'varieties of fruits and cakes, the crowd of spectators mixing in a joyful scramble. The morning feats having passed off, the evening's interlude commences. Between these two leaven reared towers stands a tall, slender pole of na tive pine, the bark peeled off and the polished surface greased. On the top of the pole is framed a cross, upon which are hung baskets of fruits and festoons:ingeni ously woven, of sweet cakes, flowers and emblematical devices pictured with silver dollars. suspended by wires ; and to crown the rich offering upon the very top of the pole stands an aged and respectable ram, fast pinioned to the place. A large crowd has gathered round to witness the rustic srene, which is announced by the merry peals of music and the loud piercing screams °tithe scaling squadrons, as they come rushing to the trial. The pole is to be scaled, the treasure is to be towered, the lists are open, the world may enter. Pere then may be seen the resources and ingenuity of - nature's children. The prize would seem totally beyond their reach, yet their minds once bent upon the attainment of the object, they make of their bodies ',adders, hoops, chains, leaning pyramids, until at last some daring spirit reaches the suspended treasure. As the evening shades prevail, the festivity commences within doors, where the victors of the day are re - "Yarded by the maidens of their choice. The sole object of the separate villagers is to excel in all they under take in common. In their agricultural pursuits the same Emulation exists ; when they go into battle what desperate feats of bravery will they not attempt, to wear the vic tor's crown. Indissoluble bonds of friendship bind them together, and they have ever been the white man's friend. Their honesty and industry is proverbial, and well culti vated fields and well stocked farms give token of much thrift and independence. They are strict observers of the Catholic faith, the priests being allowed to live in their villages. If it had not been for these Indians New Mexico would long since have been overrun by the sur rounding Indian tribes. They do not make war a trade, but their bravery is unequalled in the redress of injuries. Santa Fe is the capital of New Mexico. It is a small and inconsiderabl e village, in its most prosperous days never having had a population of more than 2,000, and it is now upon the decline. It is situated twenty miles from the Rio Grande, upon the east side. It is owing to an ex tensive commerce with the State of Missouri and the gold mines in the vicinity, that has given Santa Fe a name abroad. From Santa Fe a large wag gon-road winds around through the valleys, and emerges out into the plains before reaching Red Liver. Through the mountains to San Miguel or el Bad() it is fifty miles. San Miguel is situated upon a btnall creek or river, called Pecas River, which takes its rise within fifteen iniirs of Santa Fe, and after running six hundred miles fulls into the Rio Grande. About hail-way bete een Santa Fe and San Miguel, is the celebrated Pecas village, being of the same tribe that has been described, but claiming a more ancient Origin. They have no records, but are governed by Oral traditions. They observe the Catholic faith, but strange to tell, they say they are waiting the return of their great King, who promised them that he would return in due season, and from time immemos rial they have preserved the same fire that was burn ing upon his departure. They describe him as their great King and Saviour, and they take it by turns in watching the fire, which is preserved in a deep well or cellar. The old and most decrepid are destined to the never-ending watch. In latter years great sick ness prevailed amonget them, and the village went to decay in consequence: They became fearful that it was ' dome visitation, and about the year 18 39, or 1840, they -`nxived-to the west side of the Rio Grande, to a small :'nage calledjemas, about fifty miles f rom S anta Fe, here they carried the everlasting fire, to co n ti nue i ts SWAMI Waco thrOugli ill OA ... A SINGULAR MANIAC.—Some commotion was caused at Berlin on the evening of the 28th ult. A great crowd was assembled to witness a balloon ascent, when, in the-Rue Royale, a mail stepped out on the balcony of the third story of one of the houses, and began to ad dress the persons below, flinging out at the same time handfuls of god and some bank -notes. Whilst the persons below were endeavouring to pick up the money he drew out a pistol and fired on the moving mass. The shot wounded a young man, but not dangerously. Fie then drew out another pistol, and was about to fire when the crowd gave way on all sides. Some persons, hew ever, entered the house to arrest the man who, thus alike liberal of his goll and his lead, it was supposed, must be mad, when, on seeing them appear, he threw him self into the street, and was so severely injured that he died shortly atter. He turned out to be a brewer, named Krauss, whose brain had been turned by anxiety at tendant on a law-suit. In his pocket was found a gold box, on the lid of which was scratched with a pin, or the point of a pen-knife, the words---" Died Aug. 28, 1846," which would seem to intimate that he had for some time made up his mind to commit suicide on that day. TREASURY WARRANT. THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT AND HIS TENANTS. The Duke of Beaufort is, we have every reason to believe, a very good landlord, that is, after the good old feudal fashion—he does not grind his tenants down by extravagant rents ; but he likes them to know their places, and to remember that they are retainers of a Duke, and portion of his ceremonial, state, and political high-mightiness. At the grand hunting gatherings, they must therefore be present, and be mounted as be comes the followers of so important a personage ; and at the day of a county election they must be prompt and willing to shout " true Blue," and vote for his Grace's candidate. Farmers are not a rebellious race, and the Duke has seldom experienced any difficulty at the hands of those who cultivate the many broad acres of his very magnificent estates. At length, however, a case has arisen which has demanded, so his Grace thinks, a sig nal example—flogging is not allowed in the tenant armies of Dukes, but the " drumming out" of refractory farmers, who presume to disobey, or to forget the rules of the set:vice, is found to be equally effectual in pre serving discipline in the ranks. The place where the Duke has found it necessary to show that he is deter rained, after the fashion of his Grace of Newcastle, to "do what he likes with his own," is Monmouthshire, where a very singular political spectacle is at present exhibiting itself ; where brothers, and cousins, and uncles, and nephews, are pulling each other to pieces in a manner which, if the actors were of a lower rank in life than dukes, and marquises, anti lords, would be considered rather unseemly. Dr. Watts is, we presume, much too plebeian and anti-orthodox an author to be put into the hands of little " my lords" and little " my ladies ;" and, therefore, they can scarcely be expected to have been taught such homely rhymes as " Birds in their little nests agree, And 'tis a shameful sight, When children of one family Fall out, and chide and fight." The representation of Monmonthshire (or at least half of its representation) as our readers well know, or ought to know, belongs by a species of ri g ht di v i ne to the Duke of Beaufort for the time being; and it is only one of those amusing fictions which the English laws and constitution occasionally exhibit, to say that the " in dependent electors," as they are facetiously termed, have anything to do with the choice of Members of Parlia ment, at least in counties where great dukes are the lords of the soil, and are therefore the proper parties to take upon themselves the trouble and responsibility of seeking eligible candidates. To be sure, these candi dates, when elected, are called the " representatives of the people ;" but this is only one of those pleasing fictions to which we have before alluded. For a long series of years it has pleased the present Duke of Beaufort and his father before him, to nominate and appoint Lord Granville Somerset to be a member for the county of Monmouth, and as his Lordship does really possess more tact and talent than usually falls to the share of sons and brothers of dukes, who, in all re verence be it spoken, arc not on all occasions blessed with too great an abundance of intellect or common sense ; and as moreover Lord Granville Somerset has uniformly conducted himself towards his supporters with suavity and politeness, the ducal yoke has sat lightly upon the shoulders of the constituency, and their votes have been given with much willingness, and for so long a period, that " use has become second nature." It has, however, pleased the Duke to take umbrage at his younger brother thinking for himself on the subject of the corn-laws, and has given him public notice that he must render up his seat to another member of the family who will be more docile. Now it happens that some of his Grace's tenantry have become personally attached to his Grace's now-to-be-disgraced brother, and cannot so easily break asunder the links of gratitude and esteem with the same ease as dukes can disregard the ties of fraternal affection. They have accordingly allowed it to bo suspected that they have a mind to vote as they have been accustomed to vote, and have been heard to give hints that as Lord Granville is no fool, it is very likely that free trade is right after all. Now, of course, this is a rebellion that must be nipped in the bud —tenants have no right to think except as their landlord directs them ; and therefore sundry of these refractory vassals have received notice to quit their farms—a salutary and timely measure which will no doubt teach others not to chafe at the new harness that has been made for them. It is also necessary to show as publicly as possible that Lord Granville Somer set, although the brother, is na longer kin in the affections of the Duke. The Duke's son, therefore, the Marquis of Worcester, is sent down to Monmouth at the Assizes, where for time out of mind almost, Lord Gran ville Somerset has presided as chairman of the grand jury. Well, his name is, as usual, called over at the head of the list, and he is agaia installed in his old office, of foreman, upon which his nephew, the Marquis of Worcester, gives his juvenile moustaches a curl of rage and scorn, and with a number of his partizans marches out of court :—a very seemly spectacle, of course, to the lower orders, who are thereby taught that young aristocrats are happily released from those shackles of decency and polite behaviour to which " the vulgar" are of course very properly expected to conform themselves. It seems that there is a newspaper in Monmouthshire called the Merlin, which in its innocent simplicity thinks that these things ought not to be, and that tenants ought to be expected to cultivate their farms and to pay their rents, and if they do these things they ought to be allowed to vote as they please. We do not know where the Merlin editor got his " brought ings-up," but it is very evident he is an ignorant man, and as mischievous as he is ignorant. It is, however, " right divine" of dukedom, that there is another print in the same county, yclept the Beacon ; and a shining light it is, as its name testifies. That paper, which may be taken, we presume, as the Duke's mouthpiece upon this occasion, has come forth, and has done battle against the heretical notions which it seems have begun to find favour in Monmouthshire. That paper, in most valorous fashion, maintains " the right, the expediency, and the justice, of a landlord taking care that his tenants be his friends." It grants that " notices have been served upon tenants to quit their holdings," and it says, "it Barred 'em right"—" the Duke of Beaufort has acted in a straitforward way, and has 3hown that he will not tolerate, as his tenants, men who have not firmness enough to stand by the principles they profess in the hour of trial ;" and it winds up its encomiums of the Duke by_" We honour the Duke for his manli ness and consistency, which is infinitely superior to the mawkish sentiment and liberal twaddle of the Merlin." Well, the Duke, in the midst of his trials, is a happy man—ungrateful and refractory tenants may annoy him for a moment ; but such a devoted liegernan, and such a clever one too, as the editor of the Beacon, is a jewel beyond price. We cannot help thinking, however, that a visit or two from Mr. Cobden, in Monmouthshire, would do no great harm, if he could spare the time. Agricultural serfdom, is, after all, a mighty fine thing for Dukes of Beaufort, but is, as far as human nature and "English manliness" is concerned, a lamentable picture to contemplate in the year of our Lord one thou sand eight hundred and forty-six.—Gloucester Jou; nal.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. A meeting was held on Thursday afternoon, at the Town-hall, Ramsey, in pursuance of a requisition to the Mayor, signed by a large number of the inhabitants. The Mayor, Mr. PEPPER, commented at some length on the prejudicial effects the rejection of the Bill would have on the business of the town. Alderman GEORGE said he had attended the Commit tee of the House of Commons to which the Bill on this railway had been referred ; that Committee had devoted 46 days to the patient investigation of every detail con nected with the proposed line, and reported favourably of the scheme. The Bill had been referred to a Commit. tee of the House of Lords, composed of five Peers, who, after four days of hasty examination, set aside all that had been so cautiously attended to by the Committee of the House of Commons. No line more consistent was brought forward, though opposing counsel did designate it to their Lordships as a bubble line, and unable to be car ried out should the Bill be obtained. His own opinion, and that of commercial men in general, was, that there is no line out of the metropolis that would com mand a greater amount of traffic. Let any one refer to the map, and it would be found that the route taken by the Manchester and Southampton Railway had a very superior degree of importance. The fact of its embrac ing the whole of the manufacturing districts would en sure a large traffic, the goods from whence would be greatly delayed by the Great Western branches in com parison to this line. Not only Romsey, but every town on the road would be great sufferers. Mr. C. J. TYLER felt that the loss of this line would be of the most serious consequences. Mr. W. STEAD said he was greatly surprised at the decision of the Lords, after the successes already ob tained. Unless the Bill passed, they would be entirely shut out from the north, but if obtained, the ancient trade of the town would not only be revived, but greatly extended. Mr. COLCOTT, in seconding this resolution, gave it his most cordial good wishes, but would be glad to be informed how the directors stood with regard to funds. Alderman GEORGE said that they had nearly sufficient in hand to go again before the Legislature. A meeting of shareholders would take place on Tuesday next, when any one wishing to withdraw, by announcing their inten tion, might do so, mad receive a fair proportion of the balance in hand. GLASGOW, KILMARNOCK, ANI) AYR. GLASGOW, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.—The 19th har yearly meeting was held this afternoon in the apart ments of the company in Bridge -street. Mr. James of Daldowie, the chairman of the directors, in the chair. Mr. J. F. SMITH, the secretary, read the report, from which we make the following extracts :—" The traffic account shows that the revenue for the half-year ending the 31st of July last, amounts to 55,1911. 12s. 7d., being an increase of more than 8,0001. above the receipts of the corresponding period of last year, and leaving a free balance of 32,2661. 13s. 3d. The expenses are greater this half year, in consequence chic-fly of several additional trains having been run between Glasgow, Ayr, and Kilmar noc k, f or the better accom mo d a ti on , of the public. The prices of the diffeient articles necessary for the working of the traffic, together with the wages paid to mechanics, &c., still continue at a high rate. Your directors are prepared to recommend you now to declare a dividend at the rate of seven per cent. per annum, under deduction of income tax, payable on 21st September next ; for this purpose, they place at your disposal the sum of 34,079/. Is. 6d., leaving a balance on hand of 1,5541. 3s. Bd., which has been carried to the credit of next half year's account. In terms of the resolutions under which the 40/. shares were created, this stock now participates in the general dividend, according to the amount paid up • and on this occasion the sum d ue i s 9 3 . p er share. The works re quired by the alterations on the Kilmarnock and Troon line are proceeding satisfactorily, and it is confidently anticipated that the railway will be opened for traffic in November next. The calls on the 40/. shares have been well responded to, and there are no engagements under. taken by this Company which are, under any circum stances, likely to affect its prosperity." The CHAIRMAN, after some general remarks on the report, proposed the usual resolutions, such as fixing the half-yearly dividend at seven per cent., &c., which were agreed to. _ _ - Mr. STENHOUSE then stated, that at a former period, when the line only paid a revenue of 21 per cent., the directors had reduced their annual allowance from 6001. to 400/. per annum. Now, in the period of their pros perity, he moved that the allowance be again 6001. per annum. Mr. CLAPPERTON seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then moved a series of resolutions, the purport of which was, that the sum of 703,1251. should be raised by the creation of 28,125 new shares of 251. each, the first instalment of 21. 10s. to be paid on the 19th of October next. This sum was necessary to complete the new works for which Acts had been ob tained. And we further direct, that no printed newspaper shall be conveyed by the post, under the regulations of this present warrant, unless the same shall be sent with out a cover, or in a cover open at the sides, or in open bands, and unless there be no word or communication printed on the paper after its publication, or upon the cover or band thereof, and no writing or mark upon it, or upon the cover or band of it, except the name and ad dress of the person to whom cent, nor any paper or thing inclosed in or with the same; and every such newspaper shall be forwarded under and subject to such other conditions, regulations, and restrictions as by the said recited Act are directed in respect of newspapers sent by the post. And we further direct, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to extend to any letters or newspapers passing by the post between the United Kingdom and the kingdoms of Denmark, France, Bel gium, or Holland, And we further direct, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to annul, prejudice, or affect any of the exemptions and privileges granted by the said recited Act, or by an Act made and passed in the first year of the reign of her present Majesty, in tituled, " An Act for the management of the Post-office," and that all such exemptions and privileges shall remain in full force. And we further direct, that the terms and expressions used in this warrant shall be construed to have the like meaning in all respects as they would have if inserted in the said Act of the third and fourth years of the reign of her present Majesty. And we further direct, that this warrant shall come into operation on the Ist day of October, 1846. Provided lastly, and we hereby declare and direct, that it shall be lawful for the Commissioners for the time being of her Majesty's Treasury, or any three of them by warrant under their hands, at any time hereafter to alter or repeal any of the rates hereby altered, or the regulations hereby made, and to make or establish any new or other rates or regulations in lieu thereof, and from time to time to appoint at what time the rates that may be payable are to be paid. THE POTATO DISEASE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The prevailing (and I think well-grounded) opinion in this county, as to the potato disease, is, that it was caused by some blight of the air; for, wherever this most useful vegetable is covered by a tree not the least damage has been done, whilst all other parts of the crop is gone. In the same field where several portions of the crop have been covered by trees, not a top of the potato is touched, all the rest being totally black, Notts, Sept. 11, 1846. BASSETLAW. Lord Dudley Stuart had an interview on Saturday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. A YOUNG MID'S IDEA OF A PLEASANT DAY.— CROSSING TILE LlNE.—Extract from a letter just re ceived by a clergyman, near Salisbury, from a Naval Cadet on board her Majesty's ship S---t, on its voyage to China : —1846, May 3.—We aro approaching Nep tune's territories. We expect him to hail us to-night, and we are making preparation for him. Men are sta tioned on every top with buckets of water to pitch down on the crowd as they go forwards to see who is hailing us. As we expected, Neptune hailed us, and asked what ship it was, and where from ? The Captain earns on deck and answered him. As soon as the men heard him hailing us, they all ran forwards to see who it was, and then the buckets of water came pouring down upon us. Everybody got wet through. The captain invited him to come on board on Monday. Accordingly every thing was prepared to receive him. 'We got the fore trysail triced up to the forecastle in the form of a bag, and filled with water. We got the fire engine rigged, and everything ready. There was an old gun slide, which was covered with old flags for his Majesty to sit on. He came on board about nine o'clock. As soon as he came on board, all the culprits who had to undergo the operation of shaving were thrust down below, and all the hatches shut, so that we could not see anything that was going on. Mr. M., th e master, went up first ; then ca me the different officers of our berth. When it came to my turn the constables came down and blind folded me. I was then led on the quarter-deck, where the first thing was the engine playing right in my face. I was then dragged on to the forecastle, where the bar bers caught hold of me, and led me to the brink of the bath, on board which 1 sat down. They then began lathering my face all over with tar, and to scrape it with an old scythe, notched like a sa w . W hen they thought I had had shaving enough, saw.

Thi s went on till all were shaved, and then they piped hands to dry decks, which was the signal to leave off, so we ran down be low and got a good wash, and so ended almost the most pler.sant day I have ever spent. PaoortEss OF THE NEW PALACE.—In the House of Lords, to which, more particularly, attention is now di rected, the works are making rapid progress. The ceil ing- and upper part of the walls are finished, and carvers and joiners are occupied in every corner of the place in fixing the wainscot fittings, both in the House and lobbies. Those in the former are most elaborately carved out of the solid, and reflect great credit on the workmen. The decorations will be gorgeous—dazzling. The ceiling, formed into deeply-sunk panels, is covered with gold and colours. tinder each wall-piece, from p rincipal timbers, is a sculptured canopy and niche, alidly gilt, where finished, between which occur the vrindows, to be filled with stained glass (six on each side) and compartments for fresco.

SUSSEX FIG ORCHARD.—Nothing has more agree ably surprised me during a six weeks' tour in Kent and Sussex than stumbling this] afternoon, quite unexpect edly (for the guide-books say not a word of it), on a fig orchard, close to Worthing, producing annually, oa standard trees, from 1,000 to 1,500 dozen of iipe figs. I have eaten very good figs from standard trees in De vonshire, but was not at all aware that this fruit could be profitably cultivated so much further to the eastward. This, however, is the case at West Tarring, a picturesque village two miles West of Worthing, where a gardener of the name of Pelling, and his father before him, have for many years devoted very advantageously a piece of ground, about an acre in extent, to the growth of figs, of which his average crop has been as above stated ; but this year, owing to the spring blights, it will not exceed 50 dozen. Several of the trees are very old, with trunks nearly a foot in diameter. These are said to have been suckers or layers from a tree in the adjoining garden of Thomas a Beckett, Archbishop of Canterbury, who is stated to have had a palace here.—Corespondent of the Gardener's Chronicle. ABERYSTWITH.—HARVEST, &C.—The harvest, in the upper part of Cardiganshire, has been going on very favourably ; the weather having, for the last few weeks, been much in its favour. The wheat is all in, and in good condition—the crop is excellent. The barley i s nearly all cut, and in mwdwls—the quality not first rate. Oats middling. There is a brisk demand for cattle of all sorts, at advanced prices. At the recent fair at Pontrhydfandiged, formerly Fair Rhos, cattle sold at a material advance over former prices. Indeed, every.. thing seems smiling on the landlord and farmers, while the poor man's prospects are quite the reverse, as the potato crop looks deplorable ; and it is a serious ques tion how the poor people are to subsist during the win ter, for to all appearance no potatoes will remain to be pitted.— Welshman TR SUN, LONDON, MONDAY tVENING, SEPTEMI3E.R, 14, 1846. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A tall fellow named John Robert Robinson was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having robbed Samuel Cootes, late of the Royal Artillery, of 20s. and a shirt and pair of stockings. The complainant stated that he had purchased his dischafge from the Artillery, after 98 days' service, and came up on Friday from Woolwich for the purpose of going to Ireland. He had had quite enough of the military life, which was not at all to his taste, and the prisoner, who came from Woolwich at the same time, accompanied him, and they both took a lodging . at a public-house in Lime-street, where they occupied a bed. Upon rising witness missed 205., his discharge from the regiment, and a shirt and pair of stockings, which he had in a bundle, and ho stopped the prisoner, who was sneaking down stairs, at half-past four o'clock in the morning. The alarm having been given, the landlord rose and took witness and the prisoner, who were squabbling on the stairs, into a private room, where the latter reckoned down the 205., and begged to be allowed to go away. The landlord of the Lamb said the prisoner counted down the money in his presence, and was very desirous to get a way, " but," said the witness, who was a cu riosity in his way, " that would not do, for I didn't like to have a perso❑ robb'd in my house, so I sent for an officer that poked him off to the station-house." The LORD MAYOR—Oh, you keep the Lamb, do you? The Landlord—My Lard, the Lamb keeps me, and it would be ungrateful in me riot to keep up the character of the Lamb fur honesty and fair dealing, so I said, " I'd soon settle it," when I found what the bustle was about. When the man wag taken to the station-house we found that he had the shirt and stockings of the soldier upon him, although he had been a soldier himself. The LORD MAYOR—Did you find the complainant's discharge upon him ? The landlord—Certainly, and we found his own discharge too from the same regi ment, but they were testimonials of a very different de scription. The complainant's discharge stated that he had purchased it, and the prisoner's discharge that he had lately enlisted, but by accident it was found that his back was marked by the thongs of a cat, and he could, therefore, be kept no longer, but was paid up all dues and sent away. The Royal Artillery seemed, please your Lordship, to have a pretty fair notion of flogging, when they refuse to let a man amongst them who has been so disgraced. I hope her Majesty's other regiments will act upon some feeling of the kind, for it is quite plain that they don't tear each other's bodies to pieces in that corps. The LORD MAYOR—I shall send the prisoner for trial for this offence. Will you be bail for the appearance of the complainant ? One of the officers stated fiat the complainant ap peared against the prisoner with very great reluctance. The landlord—l shall not be bail for the young man's appearance, for I know he cannot afford the expense to which he must be put in coming from Ireland to prose cute, but I'll give him a right good dinner before he goes ; so, if your Lordship would just punish the pri soner in your own way for the rubbery, it will please all parties. The LORD MAYOR said there was a great deal of un questionably good feeling about the keeper of the Lamb, who certainly did justice to the Lamb that kept him. His Lordship then sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment in Bridewell, with hard labour. CLERKENWELL. John Priest, a broker,' in Angel-terrace, Pentonville, was summoned by Mr. Thomas Stanfield, John-street road, for taking, under a distress warrant, more than he was entitled to. The defendant, it appeared, was in arrear for poor rates, amounting to 31. Ms, to the parish of Clerkenwell, and a warrant was granted to enforce payment, which was placed in the hands of the accused for execution. The goods of the complainant were seized and sold to the amount of nearly 51. The defendant charged for ex penses attending the same, as follows:-3s. for the levy, 2s. 61. for possession one day, 10s. appraisement, 2s. 6d. stamp of appraisement, 3s. 6d. van and removal, 10s. catalogues and sale, and 4s for two summonses. Mr. GREENWOOD having perused the various charges, observed that the two first items were legal, but the two next were unjust, because the appraisement was not made by two brokers, as required by law. The docu ment not being legal, the stamp could not be charged; further, the defendant had no right to charge for a van, and the levy being made Si., the charge for the sale would only be 6d. in the pound, whereas the sum of l ls. had been charged, as likewise 4s. for a summons, when the warrant authorising the seizure only gave 2s. The defendant said he had not charged more than he he was authorised in doing. Mr. GREENWOOD indignantly told him that he had, and that his conduct had been most wicked, and would be considerably aggravated by his statement, as the warrant itself directed 2s. only to be taken for the sum mons. He should, therefore, enforce the power given him by the Act, and order the defendant to pay three times the amount of the several overcharges, and the costs. The defendant said he should appeal, Put was told the law gave him no power. Mr. GREENWOOD remarked on the hardship to which poor persons were subjected by the brokers levying for rent, &c., and upon the ignorance of the sufferers in submitting to these impositions, when ample powers were given to the magistrates to redress such cruel wrongs. He then called upon the defendant to pay the fine and costs. The defendant answered that he would nqt pay, con sequently a distress warrar.t was immediately ordered to be issued against his goods and chattels, for the amount. LAMBETH. On Saturday, Robert Ball, a stripling youth, and son of Mr. Matthew Ball, the proprietor of a number of Brix ton omnibuses, appeared to answer to a summons, charg ing him with four distinct charges—viz., one for an as sault, a second for using abusive language, a third for loitering during the journey, and a fourth for acting as a conductor without being duly licensed to do so. From the statement of Mr. Twigg, a professional gen tleman, it appeared that, on Tuesday evening last he got into an omnibus at the Elephant and Castle, of which the defendant was the conductor, to proceed to Brixton hill, where he had an appointment to dine. The vehicle proceeded pretty regularly on its journey for about a mile and a half, when it changed horses. Soon after the driver drew up for a minute or two, but drove on for 200 or 300 yards, when ho drew up in front of the Crown and Anchor public-house, by direction of the defendant. Here the defendant got down from behind, and telling the coachman that there was only one pas senger inside, proceeded towards the public-house. The coachman got off the box, and was about to follow his master, when he (Mr. Twigg) remonstrated with him, and told him that unless the vehicle immediately pro ceeded on its journey, he should get out and get into another omnibus. Finding that his remonstrance had not the desired effect, he at mice got out of the vehicle, and was proceeding on foot, when the defendant came in front of him, caught hold of him, and with lofty and menacing language insisted upon being paid his fare. Complainant, after taking the number of his badge, 5,679, gave him sixpence. This, however, was not the only inconvenience he experienced, for the driver and conduc tor of the next omnibus passing, though comparatively empty, refused to take him, having " received the office," as it was called, from the defendant and his coachman. The defendant acknowledged that he had insisted upon his fare, and bad refused the card of the gentleman because he did not know him. He denied committing any assault or using i m p roper l anguage, and called two witnesses in support of his statement. Mr. ELLIOTT commented with some severity upon the defendant's conduct, and concluded by imposing a pe nalty of 205., and 2s. costs for the assault only. The leniency of the sentence surprised every person present, and none perhaps more than the defendant him self, who instantly paid - the money, and was discharged HAMMERSMITH. THE SWELL Mon. —Three fashionably-dressed men, who gave the names of William Barnet, tobacconist, of No. 7, White Lion place, Paddington ; George Davis, of St. Pancras-road, Somers Town ; and James M'Lean, who declined to give his address, were placed at the bar before Mr. T. raynter, the sitting magistrate, on a charge of having committed a daring robbery at the City Barge public •house, Strand on the Green, Chiswick. Mr. Robinson, solicitor, of Hatton-garden, attended for the prisoners Barnet and Davis. It appeared that on the previous evening, between five and six o'clock, the prisoners went into the above public-house, and were met by Mrs. Richardson, the wife of the landlord, at the foot of the stairs leading to the front room on the first floor, which is a public room. They ordered a glass of cold gin and water, and a glass of ale, with which they were supplied. While they were in the front room, Miss Richardson, who was dressing in a back room leading out of her parent's bed-room, on the same floor, heard footsteps, and an attempt was then made to open the outer bedroom door by turning the handle. She subsequently heard the door forced open, and being alarmed, hastened out of her own room, locking the door after her. On getting below she gave an alarm, when the three men suddenly decamped, and the bedroom be ing searched, the drawers were found to have been opened, and a gold watch was missed, also twenty shillings in silver. The fellows were pursued and taken at Hammersmith, when M'Lean threw the watch behind him. Skeleton keys and a jemmy were also found upon them. They were remanded, as other charges are expected to be preferred against them. METROPOLITAN FREE HOSPITAL.-The Lord Mayor, as one of the Vice-Presidents of the Metropoli tan Free Hospital, in Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, will take the chair at the anniversary festiv a l, to b e h e l d a the Freemasons' Tavern, on the 17th i ns t an t. Hi s Royal Highness Prince Albert, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, are the Presidents of this very useful institution, which is situated in a densely popu lated neighbourhood, where hospital accommodation is very limited. In this institution, as that in Gray's Inn road, no letter of recommendation is necessary, and every sick poor applicant is admitted. The hospital has been opened for nine years, during which time upwards of 70,500 patients have been under medical treatment, and the number last year was 9,989. We have received the following information in re gard to Lieutenant Walker's valuable invention to pre serve iron ships from the effects of cannon shot :—On Friday the fifth experiment of this invention was made in the Arsenal at Woolwich, in the presence of Sir Howard Douglas, General Smith, Colonel Chalmers, Captain Houstan Stuart, C a pt a i n S uperintendent of the Dock yard, and forty or fifty of icers and gentlemen interested in the experiment. Twelve 321 b. cannon shot were fired through a target six feet square, covered with the kamptulicon composition, which instantly closed over the holes. It was attached without bolts or bars by a solution which, when wanted to be detached from the iron plate, engaged upwards of twenty men nearly an hour ; thus proving every proposition of the inventor i ll9l / fiatig§gWrilY4--liailway Herald.

CUARD.—After the destructive fire at the King's lead, it is painful to have to record a deliberate at tempt to set fire to another part of the town, which took place on the Thursday night following, between ten and eleven o'clock. This diabolical intention was happily frustrated by the servant of Mr. Curtis, in Come street, who was going to fasten the chamber window, overlooking the cottages near, when she saw a light in the thatch. She immediately gave an alarm, when the neighbours found a piece of turf in an ignited state, en closed in a rag, and which must have been placed there within a very short time previously, but fortunately was extinguished befbre the fire communicated with the thatch. We were thus providentially saved from what is often an alarming and sometimes a ruinous visitation An investigation into the circumstances attending this wicked attempt has been made by the authorities of the town, but it has not led as yet to the discovery of the incendiary.—Somerset County Gazette. THE IRON Tam:l.E.—The present state of the iron trade in the South Staffordshire district is us satisfactory as it has been for many years past. The very extensive and increasing demand for home consumption for carry ing out the various railway projects, with the require ments of the export trade, are calling into requisition all the improved facilities of production, and must keep them fully employed for some years. The order-books, both at the larger and smaller works, are well filled with orders, in many instances of such a nature as will in their completion extend over a much longer period than ordinary ; and fresh contracts are brought forward every week for various requisites for railway construction. These are generally for heavy articles, and though a very considerable quantity of pig iron was sold and dis triguted among the works in the neighbourhood at quar ter-day last, yet those masters who are entirely depen dent on purchases, find their stock diminishing more rapidly than they had calculated, and in many in stances have been under the necessity of giving much higher prices for extended supplies. The uncalled for reduction that was submitted to during the last quarter, and which was sanctioned by no equi valent reduction either in wages or materials, may therefore be considered entirely at an end ; and from the well-known fact that all the principal holders of stocks parted with them at quarter-day, and the certainty that no reduction can be expected either in wages or materials during the winter months, it would not be a matter of surprise if an advance should be declared at the next quarterly meeting of the trade. Due consider. ation will, however, doubtless be given, before taking such a step, to the effect it might have upon the exports which form so serious a part of our consumption. At the present rates of 51. for pig iron and 101. for manufac tured, no possible danger can arise ; and we trust that no rash movement will check the increasing demand which may legitimately be expected from the various alterations in duty that have lately been made upon the admission of British iron into the ports of foreign nations. The exports of British iron in the year 1845 were as follow:—Pig ir0n,77,622 tons ; castings, 22,036; bars, including hoops, rods, &c., 179,612 ; unwrought steel, 7,015-.'being upwards of 286,000 tons.—Aris's Birmingham Gazette. REFORM YOUR JURY LISTS.---I must think that some different system should be adopted in the selection of juries. There is nothing that requires so much care ; there is nothing done with such carelessness. It appears to be of no moment whether a juryman is an educated man or not ; if he possess a few acres of land, or a 40s. freehold, he is deemed eligible to decide upon cases of great intricacy. I once heard a case at Ely, when the assizes were holden there, between plaintiff and de fendant, and at its termination, the question was put to the jury : " Are you agreed, gentlemen—what say you ; is your ve r di c t f or th plaintiff or defendant ?" The foreman, a man of good property (whence his quahfica ion for a juryman)—answered I don't know what you mean by plaintiff or defendant ; but" (pointing to a barrister) he emphatically exclaimed " that there man is right."—Correspondent of the Cambridge Independent Press. A NOBLE EXAMPLE.—On Friday last Lord Wors ley, M. 1 1., was travelling from London to Lincoln, when on arriving at the Rugby station, he quitted the first class carriage, and took a second-class ticket, at the same time producing his address card, and desiring the station-keeper to inform the directors that he should never travel by first-class on their lines, until the present exorbitant fares are reduced. His Lordship did the same at Leicester, Nottingham, and Lincoln, so it is to be hoped the directors will get to hear of it. Several noblemen and gentlemen are reported to have made similar resolves as it regards the Midland lines ; a general observance of such conduct would bring the directors to tie more reasonable faxes of other ling Hull paper. 313 1,694 490 1,205 1,097 208 8 :4o FARE COMPARISONS. The excitement consequent on the raising of the fares by the directors of the South-Eastern Railway being al most universal, the following notice of a few of the fares charged by the companies for nearly the same distance of conveyance by the express and other trains, will be read with some interest:— To commence with the London and Dover, the fare for the distance, 88 miles, is by the express train 205., by the ordinary trains, first class 16s. 6d., second class 125., and third class 7s. 4d., being at the rate of nearly 3d., 2id., and lid., and Id. per mile. On the South-Western, from London to Gosport, the same distance, 88 miles, 20s. is charged for the first class express, and 16s 6d. for the second; but by the ordinary trains the fares are reduced to 14s. first class, 10s. second, and 6s. 6d. third, or less than Id. per mile by the latter. The Eastern Counties, from London to Brandon, 88i miles, charge 16s. 6d. first class, I Is. 6d. for second, and 7s. sd. third; whilst on the Colcheeter line between London and Ipswich, '6B miles, the.charge is 155., 10s., and ss. Bd., or nearly at the rate of 3d., 2d., and Id. per mile. - On the Great Western, the fare by the express train from London to Bath is 275. 6d. by the first class, and 19s. 6d. (the distance being 1061 miles) by the second, or above the rate of 3d. and 2id. per mile; by the ordinary trains 245. 6d. first class, and 17s. by the second, the third class passengers being carried at Id. per mile. On the North-Western line, from London to Bir mingham, the fare by the express train is 255., being at the rate of less than 2id. per mile ; by the ordinary trains the fares are, first class 205., or rather less than 24d. per mile, 14s. second class, or lid. per mile, and 9s. sd. the third class. The London and Brighton, 504- miles, by the express first class, charge 12s. 6d.. and by second 10s., or at the rate of 3d., and nearly 2id. per mile ; by the other trains the fares are 105., 7s. 6d., and 4s. 3d. G o i ng further north the fares will be found to be more rea sonable. On the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, 60 miles, the fares are by the first class lis., or rather less than 21d. B s.f or lid. per m il e , an d t h ird c p l e a r ss m s i s l second class, .e, On the York and North Midland, 31 miles, the first class 55., or 2d. per mile, only ls. difference, however, being made between the price of the first and second class. On the Sheffield and Manchester the fares are for 411 miles 7s. first, ss. 3d. second, and 3s. 6d. thi r d c l ass, or 2d., lid., and id. per mile. The Edinburgh and Glasgow, 46 miles, charge for first class Bs., or rather better than 2d. per mile, second class 65., or better than lid., third class 3s. 10d., and fourth class 2s. 6d. for the distance. The Gldsgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr, 51 miles, are still more reasonable, the charge being for the first class 65., or less than lid. per mile, second 45., and third class 3s. In Ireland the Dublin and Drogheda Company, length of rail 314 miles, carry . passengers by quick trains, first class 45., or lid. per mile, second ditto 35.; by ordinary trains, 3s. 6d. first class, 2s. 6d. by second class, and third class Is, 6d.

ROBBERY AT THE LONDON AND JOINT-STOCK BANK.—On Saturday afternoon, between the hours of two and three o'clock, a most barefaced robbery, to the amount of nearly 3501., was committed at the London and Joint-Stock Bank, upon a gentleman named Goslin, firm of Clarke and Goslin, of the North-end Maltings, Fulham, malsters. It appears that Mr. Edward Goslin, about the time mentioned, attended at the counter of the above bank, for the purpose of paying in money on acconnt of the firm. While standing there he felt a slight tug at his coat, and turning round he observed a gentlemanly-looking man, attired in a shooting-jacket, going rapidly out of the bank, but he unfortunately took no notice of the circumstance, and gave no alarm, though when he came to. pay in the money he found that his pocket-book had been adroitly abstracted, with its con tents, which con: . ..listed of notes and gold, &c., amounting to 3241. 2s. 11d., besides overdue bills, and sundry letters and memoranda.. The pocket-book was of Russian leather, with a steel clasp, and the notes were one Bank of England 300,i., No. 37,541, dated May 11, 1846 ; a 20/, No. 70,564,, dated May 5, 1846 ; four sovereigns, and 2s. lid. A. reward of 301. has been offered for the apprehension of t'ire thief, and recovery of the property, or nroportionatel:r to any portion recovered.
