Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits- neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it-neither affects or soils the most delicate e,lour or the finest fabric. Objections have male to the introduction of gas in dwellinr-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold insulting, ; these are entirely obviated - by - the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS lIIIHNER." As the cost of laying on gas - is muck lower than is com monly supposed, it Is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for chill-houses, hotels, manufactories, and -publie buildings. One of the small burners iv amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble.

The Vicar ofnlle r adford, the Rev. Dr. Scorenby, occu pied the choir, - and on the platform were Lord Viscount Morpeth, William Busfeild, Esq., M.P , and a large party com n m e eeo n f , of clergymen, dissentin g m i n i sters , rea d manufacturers of the town and ighebmcnieentr At commencement the meeting the , Rev. J. Coonntt read letters fr om var i ous i n fl uen tial persons, who had been invited to be present at the meeting, among others from Lord Ashley. His Lordship expressed the highest satisfaction at the proposed movement for the improvement of the factory women, and promised his aid in its promotion; he, however, declined 'attending the meeting, conceiving that, holding the principles he did with reference to the hours of labour in factories, his presence might rather, be for evil than for good. The Rev. Gentleman then read a report of the proceedings that had talon place previous to the meeting in the com mittee of gentlemen by whom it had been promoted. This document suggested the plans which were subse quently adopted in the various resolutions brought for ward and approved by the meeting. The Rev. Dr. SCORESBY followed in a . speech of con siderable length, in which he forcibly set forth -the de plorable moral and social condition of many of thafemale factory operatives of the district, and called upon Lord Morpeth to move the first resolution. Lord MORPETH presented himselfeamidst great cheer ing, to address the meeting. He said, Mr. Vicar, Ladies, and Gentlemen—l willingly [comply with the command ' which you have just imposed upon me, tq move the first resolution, though I feel that after the full explanation, and the forcible appeal which we Lave - jetet- heard from voureelLlittle.enorp e.rentr - iv - Innis peen, etnunte-yeese happy privilege to have brought before this meeting.— (Hear.) Before I proceed further, I must offer some apology that I should be obliged to quit proceedings even so interesting as these before I should have wished to do so, and for the same reason to restrict the spate of my own observation:, because I happen to have had an engagement for some time in the neighbouring town of Keighley, to attend their agricultural meeting. But though perhaps I ought to have been there by this hour, yet when my attention was called to the 12,000 female workpeople in this town, I felt they had superior claims, that they are more important objects, that they are nobler works of the great Creator, than even the fat cattle and the goodly beeves that I may find in the upper part of Airedale.—(Hear, hear.) I will, with your permission, read the resolution which has been entrusted to my charge, which is to this effect— " That as it appears on careful inquiry, that not fewer than 12,000 young women are engaged in the various departments of the trade of Bradford, of which number 2,000 are married, and 1,200 live in lodgings; and as the employment and situation of these young women, espe cially the married and those that reside with their own families, lay them under great disadvantages, expose them to many moral dangers, it is the duty, not only of their employers, but of all the inhabitants of the town — a duty commended by powerful motives to Christian minds—to cherish a kindly sympathy with this large and interesting part of the community, assist them in' efforts to improve and elevate their own character and condition, and leave no practicable and prudent means untried of promoting their welfare." Now, I think the reasoning of this resolution must commend itself to all. I am aware that differences of opinion have prevailed upon a subject on which I assure you I do not mean to enter, and which I think we have been rightly cautioned against entering upon on the present occasion, because it is desirable to avoid all unnecessary differeeee of opi nion where we have so much common matter which we may pursue. But differences of opinion lead existed in this town, and in the whole manufacturing districts of England, with rk gerd to the proper time to allot to labour in factories; but whether you fix the number of hours at twelve, at eleven, at ten, at nine, or at eight, still I think it would be felt to be desirable to protk ct these 12,000 female factory workers from the dangers and the temptations to which they. are more Peculiarly k xposed; to provide means for their finding dk.cknt aid healthy lodgings ; to stand in the stead, as it were, in the case of the unprotected, of their natural parents and guardians when they cannot resort to their kindly shel ter ; to provide for them when sick the facilities for ob taming medical attendance and medicines ; to inculcate upon them lessons of forethought and prudence ; and surround them as much as possible with the comforts, the privileges, the sanctities of a home.—(Loud cheers.) In these items I have endeavoured to enumerate as far as I can thoge benevolent purposes which the pronioters of the scheme which you, sir, have brought before us seem to have had mainly in view. Amongst the other recommendations of this scheme to our approbdieret think it a point to be specially commended that it does not aim at any exclusiveness or any sectarian distine tions.—(Hear, hear.) Indeed, in a community divided by so much difference of opinion, however desirable in the abstract I should have thought the objects compre hended in this scheme to be, I feel that I could hardly myself become a party to it, if it built up the wall of partition among any of those who are entitled to partake of its benefits.—(Hear, hear.) With reference to the peculiar object to be held in view, at least ono of the primary objects, the providing of commodious and healthy lodgings for the unprotected daughters of toil in the fac tories, I observe that the report which was r ead made special mention of an association with which I have been connected in the metropolis of this county, for providing lodging accommodation for the industrious classes. I hope this institution will be able to carry their benificent purpose very generally into effect ; and it seems to me that the object of the scheme contemplated to-day is strictly calculated to fall within the sphere of its operations. lam not at liberty to mention in parti cular terms that any scheme set on foot in this town can be incorporated with the main association, but I am as sured that by consultation together we shall be able to give that general assistance to the local scheme which the Metropolitan Association is so well calculated to bestow. In listening to the observations which you, sir, have made upon this occasion, I could not help feeling that besides the practical experience and the long op. portunities of observation which you have enjoyed during your residence in this town as a minister of the Gospel, you also have been, to a considerable degree, in spired by the wish to set on foot some such scheme as this, by the impressions which you received during your personal visit to the great manufacturing establishment at Lowell, on the continent of America. Now, I can not wonder that you received such impressions on that spot, for I myself, like you, have also been in that quarter, and I remember writing at the tune, so strong my own impressions were on the subject, that if a native of England could feel ashamed or grieved for his country, it would be when, with the re collection of what he had seen in such towns as Leeds and Bradford, he should stand among the female l actory labourers of Lowell. — (Laud cheers.) Now know that there are many circumstances to explain to a cer tain extent this difference. It is a new country—land is comparatively of rro value—no extent of ground is grudged for suitable lodging— accommodation for public works—in short, no account is made of space.—(Hear, hear.) Then the persons who constitute the female labouring classes are almost entirely the daughters of farmers—comfortable farmers, who live over the wide surface of that country, and who merely come to the manufacturing town for two oe three years, in order that by their work during that period they may gain a sufficient amount of wages to return home ready pro vided with a marriage dowry—(Cheer;)—anal hence it happens that the circumstances of their position give them the motives, while the regulations of the place give them the facilities for orderly, circumspect, and blameless conduct, by any departure from which they feel that they would at once lose caste in the estimation of their associates, and that it would operate ruinously upon the prospects of persons in their station for the re mainder of their lives. But after all the explanation, and after all the allowances of which the case admits, it must, I am sure, be felt by every eye. witness who has an opportunity of inspection him self that the contrast is not gratifying to English or to our old world prepossessions.—(Hear, hear.) But, as we heard in this very room last night, there does not seem to be anything in the cha racter or constitution of Englishmen which unfits us for appreciations and just discernment in matters of taste. I should be still more sorry to admit that there is any thing in the character and composition of Englishwomen which would unfit them for decent and virtuous living. —(Cheers.) All that we say is, give them the facilities, give them the protection, give them the safeguards, give them the motives that are found at Lowell, before you ask us to pronounce that they are unfit to stand the corn parison.—Applause.) And I think that by such a pro ject as we have had sketched out to us to-day, we are in a fair way of opening that comparison upon fair grounds, and of giving it at least a beginning in the right way, to rescue from danger that portion of our fe male working population which is justly entitled to our sympathy and to our e xertions.—(Hear.) On this ac count I have been most g lad to take a part in the pro ceedings of this day, however short and inadequate that may be. I think this scheme does honour to those who have set it on foot, and I heartily hope that th e y may , i n the results which will follo w their deliberations and ex ertions, and which will follow our meetin g of this morn ing, find not only the barren credit of the well-intended purpose, but the solid and lasting satisfaction of the ac complished good.—(Hear, and loud applause.) And I would put it to you, when you reflect upon the one hand on the drawbacks and dangers which beset the poor working women and working girls, in the first place, all the physical and material discomfort of their position—the sordid lodging—the ill-ventilated garret—the over-crowded apartments, and all the far more grievous moral and spiritual evils with which this state of things is necessarily connected—the bad cone panionship—the evil associations —the ever-open gin ' shop—the midnight street —the solicitations to guilt— the easy path to infamy, and, what is still worse than infamy itself, the mind made indifferent to in and the conscience become callous to its shame; and when, be sides reflecting upon all this mass of material and moral evil, you further remember whom those persons are on whose behalf we have come forward this day—on %hoe( behalf we urge you to save them from such dangers and WORKS ON STEAM.

THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. At half-past ten o'clock oa Thursday morning the Bar rister proceeded with the revision of the householders' list, in the wards of Cheap, Cordwainer, and Dowgate. Mr. Jg.mes Izod, who was d-pwn in the list of voters for the occupation of a house, 53, Watling-street, was objected to on the ground that he had not been rated for the house dtiring the time prescribed by law. The overseer was examined, from whose. evidence it appeared that. Mr. Izod was .rated on the first rate, not for No. 53, but for a house and offices at No. 46,Watling street, and that he occupies-the lower part of No. 46. In the second rate he is down also for No. 46, and also in another part of the rate for No. 53. In the third rate he is down in the same manner. The BARRISTER •wris of opinion that the party ought to claim to be rated for No. 53, or to be registered fur No. 46, and as he had not' done one or the ether, he could not say that his name shoWd be retained. The overseer ought to hive put him down for both places, but he only put him down fur one, and he had selected the premises for which he was not rated during the ne cessary time. - Mr. Browne supported the claim of Mr. Izod, and sub mitted that the insertion of No. 53 was a mistake fdr No. 46. The BARRISTER Mid it could not be a mistake, for he also occupied No. 53. Mr. BROWN then submitted that the Court could sub stitute "46" for "53." The BARRISTER (lid not think, under the circum stances, he could make the alteration. The name was expunged. • The following parishes in the wards of Cheap, Cord wainer, and Dowgate were revised:—Allhallows, Honey lane ; Allhallows the Great, Allhallows the Less, St. Antholin, St. }tenet Sherehog, St. Lawrence Jewry, St. Martin Pomeroy, St. Mary Aldermary, St. Mary Cole church, St. Mildred the Virgin, Poultney ; St Pancras, Super lane.

J)ARING ROBBER Y . — Thursday evening, b3tween four and five o'clock, a robbery, of the most serious conse quence to the party concerned, was effected in Regent street, under the following circumstances---A Captain Knock, of the Rifle Brigade, who had beers lodging at a tobacconist's in - the above- named street, intending to leave London for Sheerness to join his regiment, caused his portmanteau to be removed from his chamber to the shop, and entered the inner room, from which it was 4e- Parat-d only by a glass partiti on , f or t h e purpose of paying his ball, when, on returning after .an absence of five minutes, his p:operty was not to be- found. Some very adroit conveyancers must have been on the alert, as the shop was untenanted scarcely a mi-nute. The loss has been the occasion of the greatest inconvenience tc the gallant captain, fur, independently of his travelling wardrobe, the portruantutu contained a considerable sum of _ money, together - with jewellery ftnd other valn .. ables, amounting to nearly 2001. , OCTOBER 10 , 1846. .iter such dangerous destinies that they are the persons whe, by themselves, furnish by their daily toil no inconsider able portion of the stupendous processes of our English manufactures—that they must be the wives and com panions of the great mass of the English workmen—that they must be the mothers of the coming generations of those. Who are to succeed their fathers in the vrst inhe ritance of English labour—that they, by a law the ne cessity of which they' cannot escape, must stamp the character and habits of the rising ra:ce of our country s artisans and labourers ; wben they are invested with . such mighty responsibility, both for good and for evil, I trust that you, my friends, will not al togetbdr refuse your assent, your exertions, your contributions to this unostentatious and well-considered plan to avert a 3 much as possible of the evil which is ac tually impending, and to secure as much as possible of the good which, if you fail us not, may be attained. (At the conclusion of his Lordship's eloquent address he was greeted with hearty applause.) W. BUSFEILD, Esq., M.P., in a few remarks expres sive of his decided sympathy in the cause of the meeting, seconded the resolution, which was put and adopted unanimously. The Rev. WALTER ScoTT, President of the Airedsile College, then moved a resolution embracing the plans suggested by the committee for carrying out the objects of the meeting. These were-1. The provision of boarding-houses in different parts of the town, conducted under economical arrangements. 2. By the register of other lodging-houses kept by private: parties; and certi fied as clean and well-conducted places' of abode; 3. The establishment of evening schools for instruction in general. 4. The organisation of a general sick society on sound financial principles, and the encouragement and facilitation' of depositing money in savings' banks. Subsequently a committee . was formed to carry out these various objects, consisting of the clergy, dissenting ministers, and the leading gentry of the district. - Other resolutions were .passed calling upon all classes in the Esq , J. L. tt oster,ll7q., the Rev. IL Dawson, William Rand, Esq , the Rev. J. Glyde, the Rev. R. Ingham, the Rev. Mr. Ryland, William Lythall, Esq., and Robert Baker, Esq. The last-named gentleman, who is the fac tory-inspector of the district, pourtrayed in feeling terms the apparently uncared-for condition of our female factory operatives, and expressed his cordial approval of a movement at once so necessary and philanthropic as that which they had now originated. All the resolutions were passed unanimously, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks given by acclamation to the Rev. Dr. Scoresby. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PIPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The position of the Minister whom the progress of events, the struggles of party, the workings of public opinion, and even the vicissitudes of the sky, have conspired to place at the, head of this realm, is one which a moralist might select to cure the most insatiable and most daring ambition. In the approaches of a fil m*, aggravated by a social disorder which centuries have been nursing, it is his tremendous responsibility to hold the key of the national store. A few years—al most a few months—since, it was pointed out to the ad miration of England that the manufacturing masses of Lancashire, deprived of employment, sat down to die in the sight of warehouses full to ovei flsvving with food. That was a noble spectacle, and it has told. Resigna tion has wrought a miracle such as the boldest agitators did not venture to expect. Would that either the case were as simple, the remedy as obvious, the peo ple as resigned, in the present instance. An island, a social state, a race is to be changed. The Surface of the land, its divisions, its culture, its proprietors, its oc cupiers, its habitations, ite a inanners, its law, its lan guage, and the heart of a peop'e who for two thousand years have remained unalterable within the compass of those mighty changes which have given us European civilisation, are all to be created anew. .That is only part of the task which a destiny that seems to mock alike the aspirations of benevolence and of an bition, im poses on the Minister of this State. Ile has not only to feed the people out of an insufficient store, but change their very nature meantime. Should he fail both to meet the crisis and improve the opportunity, he sill be reproached not only with the horrors of instant famine, but with helping to perpetuate' a national degradation: There is a melancholy concurrence in the opinions of most Irishmen that five years at least must elapse before in any part of Ireland the peasantry will be able to raise a new species of food. And even this hypothesis is made on grounds more favourable than a minute con , temptation of the case warrants us in assuming. Five years must elapse before even the more docile and trac table portion of the peasantry will be able to cultivate a new and different species of food. But how long a period must intervene before the more intractable, the more imputient, and the mere despondent part of them habituate themselves to the idea—much more - to the study—of "a novel and unwonted agriculture? A length of time—greater than we like to re volVe in our minds—Must pass over ere the tillage be changed and the subsistence of the people created afresh. What is to be done in the interval? Already the coin plaint is that the baronies have overtaxed themselves; that they are assessed to the labour-fund far above their actual value. This by itself would be found to be a se rious inconvenience, were the calamity which it is pro posed to obviate of a temporary nature. But this is not so. The most sanguine dare not hope that one year will bound the sweep and severity of our affliction. The re medy, therefore, which applied to the first year's evil ' would be inconvenient is, when proposed for the second, impossible or ruinous. To repeat the process of super taxation—to renew the great promissory note to Go vernment—would be simply to beggar the landowners without conferring a permanent benefit on the people, or—what is equally important—a permanent improve ment on the land. The landlords would fly from— whilst their tenants would perish on a soil ex hausted by mortgages and crowded with a famished and reckless population. Frightful as such a state of things would be, it is no vague picture of the imagination. It is just the very state to which Ireland must inevitably be reduced, if the sums now collected, and about to be collected, are flung away on works which will add nothing to the national wealth, and supply nothing to the national want. The first object of Government, after doing the best, as we admit Lord Besborough seems to be doing, for the ins mediate exigency, should be to provide against its cer tain recurrence ; to devise means for making the famine of the next year less oppressive than that of the present, and that of the following easier than that of the next ; so that the weight of suffering may be diminished season by season, instil Providence has blessed the industry of the people and the energy of their advisers by new modes and new fruits of husbandry. This can only be effected by taking such measures as shall insure the cul tivation—the renewed, the general, and the indefatigable cultivation—either of such grain as may itself feed the people, or be exported as the medium of procuring for them a proper food. To this object the attention both of Government and of lauded proprietors should be directed. In this, as in every other emergency which demands vigour of design and promptness of execution, the plans of the landlord will be thwarted and his directions contravened by the inex tricable perplexities which beset the Irish question. That we must expect. There will be difficulty beyond what Englishmen find it easy to conceive in inducing the Irish peasant to till acres for the reception of other crops than the potato. Will the difficulty be too great for the landlord to overcome ? Will it be great enough to shift upon the Government ? This problem must sooner or later be solved. Government has become a large money-lender. It may have to become so again even on a more comprehensive scale, -But it hardly appears as yet that Government has succeeded in getting that which ordinary money-lenders never fail to obtain— scurity. Suppose the landowners find themselves un able to repay what has been advanced them by Par liament—and this is no extravagant supposition—what then ? What remedy will the Government have ? None that we can see ; at least, none that would be worth a moment's effort, or a farthing's outlay. But, if the money now advanced by the Treasury be sacri ficed to projects of lavish but useless expenditure--to the conastuction of trafficless roads and shipless harbours —or to the mere equipment of private luxury and com fort—then indeed will the stewards of the Imperial purse have complicated a great temerity with a great in justice' by lavishing away loans without a guarantee either for their discharge, or their safe and profitable in vestment. It has, therefore, been suggested that the Government should constitute itself a mortgagee on a large scale, and should itself enter on the lands which it has relieved by its advances, leaving, of course, to the proprietor his equity of redemption. That such a scheme should have been thought of for one moment only proves the desperate character of the emergency. No thing, in fact, could be more contrary to the genius of a constitutional Government, which aims to be an impartial arbiter between all classes, and never descends from the council-room to occupy the place of any subordinate vocation. A British Premier will probably feel as great a scruple to play the part of a national landlord as to intrude into the office of judge. Such a scheme would, in fact, only be. adding new elements of disorder to a chaos which already confesses the presence of too many. Henceforth the national landlord, the national tenant, the national agent, national leases, national processes of distress, would be added to the dramatis persona that already so uncomfortably crowd the stage. If so much is now ex pected from the worth, the ability, and forbearance of the private landowner, what extravagant expectations would usher in the reign of the national proprietor! But it is easier to raise objections to such a scheme than to refute them. The Scriptural character of the precedent claims for it at least a decorous reception. But it would be difficult to establish a parallel between the patient children of Ham, the Pharaohs, and the Delta of the Nile, on the one hand, and the Celt, the British Govern like the impracticable as they may be ir ! thems d e e v a es t least classm e nt , the e d theseh scheme Emerald with Ile those o n the dram fir. p mysterious gleams of morning twilight, pre pare o l j W e c e , s e a w n h o i n c i h y indeed be blind ion of rich and w precede ()Teat revolution in poor in • Ireland must some . the tenure of landed property. 011RONICLE.—The fate of Sir Robert Peers ever memorable" purpose of the Ist, of No' ember is really one pahroe duesf or g r n e e a t t I of the oddest and most anomalous mishaps Qn record in PRICE SD. , - - the obituary of good intentions. Never was there a more extraordinary instance of the unfortunate casual ties to which' even a strong man's strongest Purpoies are liable on comin g in collision with the world of action. That Sir Robert Peel was right when he proposed to his Cabinet to open the ports to the duty-free admission of foreign grain has lone. since been acknowledged, both by the Legislature and by public opinion, with as.near an approach to absolute unanimity as can ever be expected in a free country, whose constitutional liberties include the privilege of individual indulgence in all kinds and degrees of mental eccentricity. He was right in his data of fact and probability; right in his practical con clusion; right according to precedent; right according to reason; right according to the free-traders ; right accord ing to the protectionists ; right in every conceivable ' way inavhich a man can be right ; and now more than ever shown to have been right by recent events. Even the one solitary difficulty Which stood in.his way—the reluctance of some of his colleagues, or the presumed reluctance of Parliament, to accept the avowed ulterior consequences of the proposed move—has been subse quently obviated, by the Legislature's. formal renunci ation of the whole scheme of policy which " open ports" threatened to be put in peril. Yet somehow, by a fata lity which will look very strange in history, this so pal pably right and wise purpose has never, to this hour, been carried into effect. Everything else that Sir Robert Peel recommended for the emergency has been done but not this, which was the first, simplest, and most easily-executable of his recommendations. Everybody heartily approved it—and nearly everybody acquiesced in a " settlement" that was understood as a three years' adjournment of its execution. The Ist of Novem ber is now coming round again—bringing with it an emergency immeasurably more frightful than that of last year ; yet last year's universally ap proved resolution still stands over unperformed. As we are a " practical people," and make no pretensions to justify our acts or omissions at the bar of new emergency to recal our attention to the old coun sels, we should, one and all, have resented, as a piece of fantastic crotchettiness, any troublesome inquiry as to what has become of the only part of the Peel policy which everybody approved, but which everybody has allowed to drop into oblivion. The return, however, in a fearfully aggravated form, of the,calamity which, last year, imposed on a reluctant Premier the decision to un tax the people's food, has at once given a practical cha racter to a question that would else have been too ab stract for our national tastes. Judging front the promp titude with which our first mention of this subject, a few days since, has been responded to by several of our Con temporaries, and from what we believe to be the feeling of the public,. we do not believe that the approaching Ist of November will find us still waiting for the reali sation of the late Premier's long-dated alai almost for gotten intent. That ieteresting anniversary will, we quite hope and expect, be signalised, or anticipated, by the adoption of the counsels that have given its prede cesser a name in history. _ . lIERALD.--If safety were to be found in a number of organs - and a multitude of cornsellots, the present Government would certainly be beyond the teach of danger. But in.Cubinets, as in culinary concerns: it is sometimes found that too many cooks spa the broth, and that a multitude of counsellors sometimes darken knowledge. It was announced yesirday, in -the Chro nicle, Deity Nein, and Times, in precisely the same words, or near;y so, " that Mr. Justice Erie will go to the Qacen's Bench, and Mr. Vaughan Williams to the Common Pleas," though the appointatent of the latter has not yet been gazetted, and though many well in- Thrtn:!ti persons in the profession stilt think that Mr. DAvid Dundss will be the new puisre judge of the Queen's Bench. But, notwithstanding the strong inte rest cf the Duke of Sutherland, and the r:eneral and de served popularity of Mr. Dun(las itssan :Annible and ac complished gentleman, we believe Lord Cottenhani will insist on the appointment of Mr. Vaughan Williams, calainly one or the safest and ,most learned lawyers in Wes; minstdi . llall, and the greatest kcal writer living, with the exception o Sir Edward Sagden, Mr. St,rgeant Stephvii, find Mr. Starkii. , . We could ourtelves wish to • ECO the laticr gentleman placcd in a po.iition ennmonsurate with his abilities and attain- tneiits us a seientiti,.; lawyer; and if he were not atn 63 years of age, we should gladly have s, cn him elevated to the judicial bench. But at that • advanced period of . . life to fax the faculties of man with laborious and onerous duties is neither wise nor politic in reference to the in terests of the state, nor is it quite fair to the honest fame or professional renown of the individual on whom honours, his earlier due, are too late conferred. That it was the intention of Lord Brougham to have made Mr. Starkie the very next judge, previously to his resignation of the Great Seal on the 21st November, 1834, is pretty well known, and was applauded by the profession. But Mr. Starkie had then scarcely passed his fiftieth year, and twelve years after the passing of the grand climac teric make a strange change in the constitution of a man whose hopes have been so sorely and severely crossed. The promise of Lord Brougham, indicative of his discrimination •and perception of merit, Lord Lyndhurst—for the honour of the Uni versity to which he belonged, and of which the ex-Chancellor and the present Downing Pro fessor, Mr. Starkie, were both such distinguished alumni—ought to have fulfilled : but the laissez all,r, lassiez-faire habits of that uncontrollably slothful and heartless, but eminently and able gifted man, have ever prevented him from doing what he ought to have done for others, or even for himself. We trust, how ever, that model of judges, Lord Cottenham, will see fit, on the first vacancy, to remove Mr. Sergeant Stephen, who has not passed his fifty-seventh year, from Bristol to a seat on the judicial bench of the metropolis, and confer the vacant commissionership of bankrupts on Mr. Starkie, one of the greatest of our legal authors, as cer tainly one of the most scientific of our lawyers. ' In America such a man had taken the rank and been ho noured and rewarded as the Kents, the Story, and the Marshal's; and as it is, his name is as well known and more appreciated in America than in England. Mr. Starkie has ever avowed himself a constitutional Whig, and this ought to be no impediment in his way with so strong a politician as Lord Cottenham. But we firmly believe, apart froin fitness, political opinions will weigh not—nor ought they to weigh—a feather in the scale. To return, however, to the actual vacancy. This night's Gazette will probably dispel all illusions, and prove, to the credit of Lord Cottenham, the judicious selection of Mr. Vaughan Williams. TROTTING MATCH AGAINST TIME.-A trotting match against time came off on Tuesday, at Cheltenham, and excited an unusual interest in the sporting circles. The affair has been looked forward to anxiously in cer tain quarters for some time past, partly owing to the known capabilities of the horse which was matched, and partly owing to the prowess of the backer, Mr. Alexan , der Burke, of trotting notoriety. The following is the agreement entered into between Mr. Alexander Burke and Mr. W. Hurlstone (of the King's Head Inn): — "Mr. Burke backs Mr. Loves)'s black horse (purchased of Mr. Harris) to trot twelve and three-quarters in 45 minutes, for 504 aside, the match to come off within six weeks, on the road leading from Cheltenham to Tewkes bury. The horSe to trot under saddle or in harness; the winner to pay for two dozen of wine." Finally the day was fixed i'orTuesday, October 6, between the hours of eleven and three. Accordingly, at two o'clock, yester• day, Mr. Burk', attended by numerous friends, re paired to the Worcester Arms, Tew kesbUry-road, the place fixed for the start; and shortly after that hour he set ofl•', having chosen to drive the horse in harness in his light gig. Numerous bets were made pro et con, some choosing the horse, and others backing time. The road was florin a very good condition, a great quantity of rain having fallen during the morning. The horse seemed, however, in excellent condition, and went all the distance at a " slashing " pace, several of those who rode along on first-rate horses having been put to their mettle to keep up (at a gallop) with the trotter. Mr. Burke went half the distance out, then turned and came in again, winning the match easily in 42 minutes. The horse seemed not in the least distressed at the close of this splendid performance. Of course there was a large concourse of spectators to witness the exciting scene.— Cheltenham Chronicle. THE :WIUTTINGTON CLUB.—A very large and respectable meeting was held on Thursday evening, in the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street, of those inte rested in getting up a club under the above title, the objects of which were to make up a literary and scientific club, somewhat upon the plan of the Manchester Athenaeum and Birmingham Athenic Institute. Mr. Traice having been called to the chair, the report of the committee was read. The proposed terms of subscription were 10 guineas to constitute a life member persons; living within seven miles of the General Post Office to pay 103. 6d. entrance fee, and an annual subscription of 11. Is.; ladies, 10s. 6d..annually, without any entrance fee; and persons living beyond the distance of seven miles to pay half of the above. The Chairman then addressed the meeting at considerable length, upon the nature and objects of this institution, upon the usefulness of which he dwelt for some time, and pointed out how much such an institution was wanted for the use of not only the vast class of persons in the employment of the gigantic merchants of the City, but also for the admission o ladies, whose society in such places they had hitherto, by absurd coaventionalisms, been deprived of. Some resolutions were proposed, founded upon the report, and which were spoken to at some length by the proposers and seconders. The committee and treasurer were then appointed, the customary votes of thanks passed, and thy meeting separated. Tun IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY EVENING.—The quarterly meeting of the iron and Coal, masters of South Staffordshire, held to•day at the Town Ball, was very numerously attended. There were pre ' sent the principals or representatives of nearly all the large houses in the district, and many large buyers. The general announcement on all sides was that trade was good, an abundance of orders on the books, and a pros pect of daily increase. Under such circumstances a re duction was out of the question, and the only consider ation was whether there might not be a little advance. Some were disposed for a rise, but it was eventually settled that no advance upon the prices of the past quarter should take place. The masters will meet to morrow at Stourbridge, and on Saturday at Dudley. There rolls lac.t much business done to-day. PART624OBTII,--THIJIISDAY. We some short lima_ _ since (during the absence of the Channel squadron) no ticed the great disparity of officers in comparison with the number of men of the Royal Marine force engage d in thO Channel squidron, and drew attention at the. same time to the . captains of the corps, many of whom have served double the time which ought to have gained their promotion to the rank of field-officers. On Sunday last a field-officer and four captains marched to this garrison chapel with the marines of this . division, whose united periods of service amounted to the almost incredible total of 210 years, the junior of these five officers counting upwards of 40 years' service. If anything could - demonstrate the unfairness and im policy of the present system of brevet promotion, the above astounding fact would, beyond a doubt, do it. According to this statement, Captain A, because he has had the good fortune to get his company quickly, comes in a general brevet in preference to Captain B, who was in the service before A was born ; B having INien demncd to linger on through the greater part and best "•" years of his life before attaining the rank of captain. Thus is poor B doubly a victim—first, through too long deferred, heart-sickening hope, and then through the working of an unjust rule, which continues to ill;use him because he has been so long neglected. • Surely an appeal on such substantial grounds as these would not be contemned, and the prayer of the serving captains of her Majesty's land forces, who served in the - great war ending in 1814 (who have never voluntarily been on half-pay), to be included in the coming -bre vet, will not be heartlessly rejected. The boon is not - much for such petitioners to ask ; it is a boon easy .to grant, as it would not involve any great expense - . We sincerely trust this brief appeal on behalf of the long= neglected veterans of the Royal Marine corps will be. in some part the means of obtaining for them that jus-; i= - Hee at the hands of their country which their lorg, faithful, and meritorious services so pre-emi nen tl y merit. - The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Sheppard, bearing the... broad pendant of Commodore Sir Francis Collier, has ""..;; been expected to come up momentarily all day. Up to our dispatch leaving (five o'clock), however, she had nct ..esu made her numLer. The Crocodile, 8, Commaneer Gomer Lowe, arrived last night from Hudson's Bay. The Fairy yacht was undocked this day. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 7.—The storm in, this neighbour ly ol has somewhat abated, but we are occasionally vi sited by heavy squalls from the southward and west- -Yr 4tl, - x,aptain donit oneppara, WHEI flag of Commodore Sir F. A. Collier, endeavoured- to • .5. ,1 •7-. ) , work out through the Western Passage, under double reefed topsails and foresail, the wind blowing hard from the westward. When reaching into Cawsand Bay, on the larboard tack, she put about, and while in stays was caught in a tremendous squall of wind and rain between 'Redding Point and the western end' of the Breakwater. Being compelled to go before it, she brailed up her fore sail, and under foretopsail and jib returned to her anchorage in the Sound. His Imperial Brazilian Majesty's frigate Constitu cional, Captain Ignacio, remains in the Sound. It being found that the Turnchapel, private dock, was not suffi ciently capacious to receive the frigate, application has been made to the authorities at her Majesty's dockyard - here. In consequence, however, of the activity prevail ing in our naval departments doubts exist of the possibi lity of repairing the frigate at this arsenal, failing which she will be sent to her M:ijesty's dockyard at Ports mouth, or to the naval arsenal at Brest. When -last-here the Constitucional, then called the Isabel, was officered and manned almost entirely by Europeans; now her officers, with two exceptions (Per ttiguese), are, Brazilians, and the duty is carried on entirely in that language. At present her complement .(450) includes SO Englishmen, G Americans, 5 Germans, 3 Frenchmen, G Spaniards, 2 Italians, and 8 Manilla. men. The remainder is made •up by Brazilians, Portu guese, and natives of Monte Video, .Bueros Ayres, and Valparaiso. The - Englbdi are stationed at the helm, the mainyard, and the waist. . The duty in the top's is performed exclusively by these who talk Portuguese. The Buckinghamshire, - of 1,800 tons, Capt. M'Gregor, which came in on Monday, has perhaps the largest cargo of. tea in point of weight ever imported. She left II ng-Kong the Gth of May, and St. Helena the 20th o f August. Benire making the Capc of Good Hope she damaged her rudder in the casing, just below the deck. Cpptaiii APGregor very skilfully fitted a tiller outside the ship, end-thus brought the vesscl home. She Lai a- - c rew of about'l3o . hands, viz., 20 English, GO Lascaes,.-25 Chinamen, and 20 - Maiiillamen.. Her only pag:.engers are Dr., Lunn and Mr. Batley, who landed h, re yester;lay. • Among' the casualties during the tale is the loss of the Ocean, • belonging to this port, the crew of which were landed Yesterday by Captain Cox, of the brig Margaret, of Weymouth, from whose log the following is • traded " Sunday, October 2, 4 P.m., saw a brig to the leeward, under close-reefed canvass, and signals of distress. Bore down upon her ; she proved to be the Ocean, of-Ply-- mouth, from Newport, bound to Plymouth, and fotind her in a sinking state. The sea was so rough, and it was blolving so strong, there was no possibility of getting,. - the crew from the ship. We lay by her during the - night, and at 7 A.M., on Monday bore away under her lee, and succeeded in getting the crew on board. Saved the boat and all their clothes, Scilly bearing S.S.E., 9 or 10 leagues. Half an hour after the crew were on board, the brig went down." Mr. Hamilton Hamilton, Into Envoy Extraordinary = and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Brazil, who came home passenger in. the Constitucional, has been staying with his lady, for the benefit of his health, at Elliott s RoTal Hotel, Plymouth. This gentleman pre sented on Tuesday last to Admiral Grenfell an elabo , rately-chased coffee-jug, and elegant silver salver, pur ' chased here from Mr. Cave, on which was engraved the following inscription :—" From Hamilton Hamilton, E.E. and M.P. of her Britannic Majesty at the Court of the Brazil, to John Pascoe Grenfell, Rear Admiral in the Imperial service, in remembrance of much kindness ex perienced during a voyage to England on board the Im perial frigate Constitution, bearing his flag, in August and September, 1846." Admiral Grenfell remains at the same hotel a few days longer, and previous to com mencieg his duties at Liverpool as Brazilian Consul- General visits his relatives in the neighbourhood of Exeter. THREE o'CLocx, r.si.—Wind S.W., blowing strong. OCT, 7, Tux p.m.—The storm of this morning has continued increasing through the day. The wind is blowingvery heavily, and veers from W.N.W. to W.S.W., with occasional rain. Her Majesty's ship St. Vincent split her foretopsail in he attempt this morning to go to sea. The barque Forager, Captain Spendlove, of and from Hull, for St. John's, New Brunswick, in ballast, having reached lon. 24, came in here this afternoon. On.the 19th tilt: she was dismasted, thrown on her beam-ends, lost three top-masts, sails, yard, and gear, decks swept, and ballast shifted. At the same time several vessels were obierved, one of which, an English brig, is sup posed to have foundered. The gale continued several . days after the 19th. -. The Buckinghamshire East Indiaman, about two this afternoon, drifted in the Sound, and was compelled to drop her second bower anchor. An Inverness schooner, of 90 tons, the Benoni, Cap tain Christie, coal laden, struck on the rocks under Queen Anne's Battery (having for safety left her moor ings in Catwater), broke her rudder and started het stern-post. With assistance she got into the Pool this evening. The brig Simpson, of Scarborough, from Odessa, with tallow, for this port, when outside the Pool, had her warp cut by a trawler under sail, and in consequence fell to leeward athwart the rocks outside the eastern pier. On the flOod, she was got off without much damage. Several of the trawling sloopi which went out this morning were obliged to run back for shelter. The Union lost her fishing nets altogether. The James and Mary buoyed and slipped her trawl. • The pinnace belonging to his Imperial Brazilian Ma jesty's trigate Constitucional, which came in this morn ing for provisions, has made three unsuccessful attempts to join the frigate in the Sound. A boat belonging to the Buckinghamshire is similarly detained. THURSDAY, 6 o'CLocs, A.m.—The storm continued until midnight, but, with the exception of a gale at 3 o'clock, there has not been much wind since, and at this hour it is blowing moderately from the westward. How ever, there continues strong indications of heavy weather in the sky. Providentially, no further damage has oc curred in the port. A stormy meeting of the inhabitants of the par's'e of St. George's-in-the East was he'd on Thursday night in the vestry-room of the parish church, for the p. rpose of considering the establishment of baths and washhouses according to the recent Act of Parliament. There was a strong opposition to the measure on the ground of the incres,c of local taxation, and ultimately a motion for establishing the baths wa s by a large majority on a show of hands. A poll was demanded, which will take place on Monday and Tuesday next. CAUTION.—FROM A CORRESPONDENT:The public would do well to weigh their ca ndles, as u ht nprincupyd kn fi o n w d in a g g makers are sending. them o ut short wheeigm, dt.iders equally unprincipled in buyinf that they are so, and th us defrauding t eir customers. TREATMENT or THE POOR IN ST. 4 PANCEAS. On Thursday there was another vestry meeting in St. Pancras parish, to consider the conduct of the directors of guardians in their treatment of the paupers. Mr. Howarth, church-warden, presided at the meeting, which was a stormy one. A resolution of censure was pro posed on Mr. Lea, the master of the workhouse, for hav ing dismissed the man Whitby on account of the evidence he gave during the investigation into the proceedings of the workhouse. The resolution was strongly opposed, but it was ultimately carried by a majority of twenty four against nineteen.
