BRUSSELS, SEPT. 29.—The average price of wheat in the week ending on Saturday, Sept. 25, was from 24f. 06c., and that of rye from 19f 2 05 per hectolitre. The Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg anti suite left the Palace of Lacken yesterday for Germany. On Saturday last, the 26th September, two marriages wore celebrated in one of the most ancient noble fami lies of Belgium —the family of Werner de Merod. The two sisters were married on the same day, at their country seat at Louveual, near Charleroi. One was married to the Prince de la Cisterns, and the other to the Duke de Valentmois, the hereditary of Monaco. This was the civil ceremony ; the religious ceremony took place on Monday, and was performed by M. de Saint Marsden, the Apostolic Nuncio. We learn from a letter from Ostend, dated the 28th, that Mr. Waghorn had arrived this evening by the train without dispatches. It is needless to tell you that insuperable obstacles are the cause of this disappoint ment, since the English Government has not declined any expense to get the mails from India by way of Trieste. Our readers are aware that Mr. Waghorn has been endeavouring for some months past to establish a communication between Trieste and Belgium for the conveyance of the mails from India, which would be preferable to the route via Marseilles, as it would be performed in a shorter time. On Thursday last a very violent west wind prevailed along the whole extent of our coast. The English mail, which sailed in the morning, was obliged to put back, but in an hour afterwards it put to sea again, having left behind almost all her passengers, most of whom took carriages to convey them to Calais. Mr. Borsig, proprietor of important works in the en virons of Potsdam, where, within the last fourteen years, more than 100 locomotives have been constructed, has just increased the number of his workmen to 2,000. He is engaged to construct 186 locomotives,:which have been bespoke, within the space of three years. The number of locomotives at present employed on the railways in Germany is 631, 402 of which are on lines worked by companies, and 229 on those under the Government. The Committee for the improvement of the condition of the working classes, had another sitting yesterday. Mr. Charles Bouckere read his report on the distress in Flanders, and the means of remedying it. This report, which its author has modified and completed between the two meetings, was finally adopted, and is to be laid before the Minister of Justice. The report of the com mittee, besides the creation of a society for the en couragement of the manufacture of linen, propose to em ploy the people during the approaching winter on public works, such as roads and canals. We have reason to hope that, thanks to some manufacturers of Ghent, the wish of the committee for the improvement of the labour ing classes, and likewise the wish expressed by the com mittee of inquiry in 1841, will be speedily fulfilled. EISAcK, SEPT. 23.—We are in daily receipt of the most painlul accounts of hail storms and inundations, which have occasioned fearful damage in dill. rent parts of the Tyrol and on the Voralberg. In Liven Allcngo, near Bushenstein, nearly all the crops are totally destroyed, from Kirchber , 7 to Kelzlinshel. All communication was interrupted for some days in Sa lurne ; the siik works were deStroyed, and all hopes are blasted for this year, and, it is feared, likewise for the ensuing. At Golzniss, near Inspruck, several dwellings were washed away by the inundation. At Dornbern and rloheneurs no less than 50 landslips tcok place, by which the mountain torrents were so 'swelled that numbers of the inhabitants were compelled to seek their safety by flight. Accounts from other parts are equally distress ing. Great consternation and uncertainty prevails among all classes, for it is impossible to say where the devastation may end. The district of Rente has suffered more from inundation than even the Markt did so lately from fire. FASHIONS FOB. OCTOBER. (From the World of Fashion.) MORNING WALKING HATS are principally of the jardinieres form, a petites pailles, decorated with a single ribbon of velvet. Certain fancy net works have lately appeared, made of black velvet, and intended for the or namenting of thethesro kind of hats, and which have a very becoming effect. HATs:—That most worthy attention, is a bat of pink crepe, the form round and reconvert, with a voilette or demi• veil of pink tulle, attached upon each sido with two white roses, and earidessly tied under the chin. The veil is edged with a very narrow white blonde, terminating at the ends, and gives it the appearance of two lappets tied under the chin. MORNING DRESSES of the peignoir form are now greatly in request, and offer the greatest variety, some being extremely graceful and simple, whilst others, by their ample folds, and the richness of their ornaments, approach to the oriental style of costume, opening upon a most elegant kind of under skirt ; these are denomi nated des peignoirs sultans. DRESSES.—Ladies who do not like wearing flounces, or who wish for a variety, have their light and simple dresses made with tucks, to the number of five or seven, according to the height of the skirt, the lower one being rather wide, and the others diminishing progressively. Those dresses trimmed with flounces are, however, most in favour, as they can be adapted for either slender or stout ladies ; these flounces being only slightly fulled, has often the effect of simple upper skirts. Short sleeves are also very much worn, particularly with dresses of the pelisse form, under which is generally worn tight sleeves fastened round the wrists, instead of those made demi larwes and open. EVENING DRES3.—terl taffetas glace, or the Pekin rayei, are mostly in vogue for evening costumes, the bodies being made low, and canaezouts of lace ; short sleeves, trimmed with narrow frillings, to match the three flounces which are put on at equal distances upon the skirt. Ctrs are chiefly eamposed of tulle chiffonne, and seamed or striped with sprigs of the lily-of-the-valley, or P,rina violets, whilst others are made of lace, with ornnments of coloured tulle. M ANTELETS.—Those for morning costume are prin cipally of embroidered muslin, festonnees a dents p.intues. A very convenient kind of small cloak has lately appeared for travelling, called le mantelet rouliere o' silk, but not lined, and trimmed with an open-worked fringe, being more solid and less likely to crease than lace, and which from its lightness can be thrown over a light summer toilette This style of mantelet descends 13 low as the knees, and is very simple and comme it Taut. FLOWERS are ptill worn in the hair, the most natural being preferred, and to match those which decorate the dress, artificial fliwers are being now much intermixed with fruits, such as a bunch of black grapes in a wreath of cactus. FASHIONABLE COLOURS for the present month are principally of mixed hues, such as blue d'Aumole upon gris perdrix, groseille upon gris de ill., and lilac upon violet. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, SEPT. 29.—The expected arrivals of the Indian mail, which was to leave Bombay on Aug. 27, and of the Britannia steamer, which would sail from Bos ton on the 16th instant, have tended to limit demand in our market ; both sellers and buyers being anxious to learn further intelligence of the condition and prospects of the cotton crop, and of the state of commer cial affairs in India—where a considerable improvement is confidently expected. The amount of business done was consequently limited ; but prices, both of goods and yarns, are very firm ; and in some cases higher rates than those current last week are demanded by spinners and manufacturers. ROCHDALE, SEPT. 28.—We have had a fair business to-day, at prices much the same as those of the preced ing week. In the wool market there is very little change, except, perhaps, that it is more difficult to buy foreign wool at last week's prices. HUDDERSFIELD, SEPT. 29.—Our market to-day is without animation; indeed, it may be said to be flatter than last week. Some of the fancy cloth manufac• turers have received orders, but not to the extent they bad reason to anticipate. Wools are much the same in price, but sales cannot be made, although they are up in the London markets. In the warehouses there is not much doing. LEEDS, 8 EPT. 29.—We have no better account to give of our this day's market than of preceding ones. 'The demand continues slack, and profits are very small n all the business actually done. The Adjutant-General to the Forces transacted busi ness yesterday at the Treasury. A BEGGAR-LY Orimorc—One of the begging fra ternity, in reply to a question propounded to him by a captain at Pillgwenlly, " half seas over," of whom he solicited and received alms, provided he admitted the amount of his " income," made the following candid and truly pithy acknowledgment.—" I doesn't know what's come to Newport, it's bad times with the tradesfolk, for I used to make my thirty shillings cadging it through the town, when my rounds came that way, and was safe for full thirty shillings. Now, I can't get more nor five shillings, and a matter a two days about it ! It mast be awful times with the tradespeople. How I pities 'em I" Roars of laughter were elicited by the sympathij ing manner and rich pathos in which the fellow spoke as to the diminution of his " income," and the fallen fortunes of Newport. He should have attrih, a t e a his " lesser fortune" to the discrimination wh .:ich now enables our charitable townsfolk to perceive the difference between the really needy and those whQ trade in begging.—Mon ntouthshire [ADVERTISEMENT.]--CURES OF FEARFUL ULCEROUS SORES IN MALTA, wr Ilowkwhor's PILLS AND OINTMENT.—MEL Duncan, whose husband is employed in her Majesty's dockyard at Malta, suffered for more than two years from ulcerous sores in her feet. She formerly resided at Corfu, and was treated by the best practitioners there, from whom, however, she derived no benefit whatever, when, after using five or six boxes and pots of Holloway's Pills and Ointment, a perfect cure was effected. The truth of this statement is so notorlows in Malta that the editor of the " Malta Mail" newspaper was induced to insert the particulars of the can his of October 31st, 1845.—501 d by all druggists, and etablistiagur ) 244, PUNA Lingitn, THE SUN,_ LON DON, SATUR DA Y EVENING-, OCTOBER 3, 1846. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER- HAMPTON DISTRICT. The present position of what is called the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton system of lines, and the results which have followed the advocacy of the several projects for extending railway communication in the dis trict, for the accommodation of which some forty or fifty lines were projected during the mania, but only a moiety of which have been sanctioned by the Legislature, is thus described by a Worcester correspondent. .The Bills for new railroads and for branches, which have received the Royal assent, are as follows: • 1. Birmingham and , . Gloucester—Branch lines for ex tending the accommodation of this railway by branches to Halesowen, &c. 2. Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton—Branch lines for accommodating Stratford-upon-Avon and Droit wich. 3. Shropshire Union Railway and Canal—a line from Wolverhampton to Chester, &c. 4. Trent Valley, Midlands, and Grand Junction—a junction line for communicating with the Grand Junc. tion, Trent Valley, and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railways. 5. Rugby, Leamington, and Warwick—for giving further accommodation to the Warwickshire district for communicating with the Great London and North- Western. 6. Buckinghamshire—Oxford and Bletchley Junction, and 7. Buckinghamshire—Tring and Banbury. These two linen are for extending the London and North- Western accommodation into Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. 8. Birmingham and Oxford Junction, and 9. Birmingham and Oxford Junction—Birmingham Extension. These Bills are for making a new and im portant broad gauge line of railway from Birmingham to Oxford direct, with branches to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. 10. Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley— a line from Birmingham to Stafford, with branches to Dudley, Bilston, Stourport, Halesowen, Kingswin ford, &c. 11. Birmingham, Wol►erhampton, and Dudley—a broad gauge line between the towns specified. 12. Shrewsbury, Worcester, and South Staffordshire Junction—for affording railway accommodation to Shropshire and Staffordshire, embracing the Potteries and the mineral district. 13. South Staffordshire Junction—for accommodating the South Staffordshire coal and iron district, and bringing traffic on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton line at Wolverhampton. It should be stated, however, with reference to the above, that the South Staffordshire Junction is amalga mated wiih the Trent Valley Midlands, and the Shrews bury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire with the Birmingham and Shrewsbury. The capital required for the completion of the above projects for this district alone amounts to 2,849,5881., thus apportioned : Birmingham and Oxford Junction £233,330 Birmingham and Oxford Junction (Birming ham Extension) Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Val ley, and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley lines 370,000 Buckinghamshire (Oxford and Bletchley) Buckinghamshire (Tring to Banbury) Birmingham and Gloucester Branches Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Branches 73,000 Rugby, Leamington, and Warwick 120,000 Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staf fordshire Junction Shropshire Union (total) South Staffordshire Junction Trent Valley, Midlands, &c. Total £2,849,588 These are the railway bill.; for this district which re ceived the sanction of tho Legislature during the last session, and it will be seen that Parliament has been especially indulgent to the mineral district of South Staffordshire, which will, when the lines above enume rated are completed, be completely intersected. The works of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton are progressing rapidly, and as to the accommo dation of Worcester, there seems every probability that th• promise made at the last half-yearly meeting of the proprietors, held a month ago at Worcester, that the line from Worcester to Stoke Prior and Abbott's Wood, forming junctions north and south with the Bristol and Birmingham line, should be completed within a twelve month; will be realised. At several points on this junc tion excavators are busily at work, digging cuttings, raising embankments, building bridges and watercourses, levelling and boring tunnels, viz., at Norton, Abbot's Wood, Ballenhall, Worcester, Clamis, Fearnal Heath, and Droitwich. The tunnel at Worcester is in a forward state, and those at Dudley and Mickleton— some fifty miles asunder—are slowly progres,ing. The contract for the construction of that' part of the line between Pearnal Heath and Dudley has been taken by Messrs. Treadwell, and the work will now shortly commence. The Dudley tunnel is a separate contract, and was one of the first let, on account of the length of the line it will occupy. THREE BRIDGES WASHED AWAY ON THE NORTH BRITISH. F.BINBURGH, SEPT. 20.—The greatest confusion (says a correspondent) prevailed here this evening, in conse (peace of the interruption of the railway traffic to Ber wick ; the bridge at Linton, twenty-three miles hence, having been washed away by the floods. It rained in cessantly all last night, and until six this afternoon. The country was flooded, and the line for some distance was laid wider water—the result being as I have stated. I had travelled over the line a few days since, and was told by a fellow passenger, an elderly lady, that " folk had raised an ill report of the line," but it appeared to me to he smooth and easy fur a new line, indeed, re markably so. The country people" however, knew of the propensity of this fierce stream to overrun its boun dary, and riot at its will along the banks, and they are now satisfied that local knowledge should be respected by engineers. The directors have done their best in the emergency ; omnibuses and horses have ben for warded to the " soft" places, and the promptest mica sures taken to forward the passengers. The Scotsman, just received, corroborates our correspondent's state ment, with the following details :—" We regret to learn that, in consequence of the heavy rains which fell on Monday evening and yesterday morning, much damage has been done to the line of the North British Railway, between East Linton and Dunbar. All the tributaries of the Tyne were swollen to an unusual size ; and the river itself rose higher, it is said, than was ever before known. The principal devastations we have yet heard of are, that the water carried away the railway bridge over the Tyne at Linton, and two other bridges over smaller streams between Linton and Dunbar. The bridge over the Tyne fell about two o'clock. For some time pre. vious some men employed on that part of the line had judged the bridge to be in a precarious position from the height and force of the water ; and on the approach of a train from Edinburgh, stopped it, and gave warning of the danger. Mr. Scott, the goods manager, who hap pened to be a passenger with the train, then proceeded forward, and, along with another person, went upon the bridge to examine its condition. While standing there, the persons on the embankment cried out that the bridge was ' going,' and scarcely had Mr. Scott and his corn pinion got out of danger, than the structure was over thrown. By the fall of the two smaller bridges nearer Dunbar, and the destruction of a large portion of the em bankment in the same locality, the portion of the line between that town and Linton was of course rendered entirely useless, and will remain so until these extensive damages are repaired. The company spared no exertion that the traffic might be interrupted as little as possible ; bat great difficulty was experienced, owing to all the horses and coaches having been removed from that portion of the road since the opening of the line. Omni buses and horses had to be obtained from Berwick, which conveyed the passengers of the half-p as t three Berwick train from Dunbar to Linton, from which a train carried them to the terminus here, arriving at eleven o'clock. The mail which leaves Berwick at half-past five reached Edinburgh by the same means at half-past one this morning, being five hours and a half after her usual time. She brought no passengers. A train was sent from here to Linton at nine o'clock with a supply of horses and carriages for the conveyance of th e passen gers of to-day. We are happy to state that no person has been injured by these occurrences. The contractors being bound to maintain their works for a twelvemonth from the opening of the line, the expense of repairing the damages will, we believe, fall upon them." SOUTH-EASTERN (GRAVESEND BRANCH).—ThiB line, the Bill for which was obtained during the late session, has been commenced, and, according to the contracts, is to be complete for traffic by Christmas, 1847. The works throughout are not of a heavy character, the cut tings and embankments being very slight. The station at Gravesend is intended to be placed in the central part of the town, probably adjacent to the London-road, the line will run into the Rochester Railway, about a mile down from the present Gravesend station. ELY AND PETERBOROUGH.—This branch of the Eastees Counties to Peterborough (to connect Mr. Hud son's Midlands by the Stamford and Syston line) is finished. The opening for public traffic is daily ex pected, the sanction of the Inspector-general being only required. It is said to be the intention of the Eastern Counties, who are to have the management, to run re markably cheap trains. THE ELECTRIC T ELEGRAM — Arrangements are making for laying down this telegraph along all the leading lines. It is in constant operation along 950 miles already formed. In the United States it is la , ' down for a distance of 1,660 miles.

As the circumstance (says our correspondent) has given rise to many exaggerated rumours, it is satisfactory t o b e a bl e to state that neither loss of life nor injury to limb has been sustained, and that the occurrence is not likely to postpone the completion of the line much beyond the anticipated period. AUSTRALIAN LINES.—By the last mail from Sydney we learn that a deputation comprising several members of the Legislative Council and the Mayor of that colony, waited upon his Excellency the Governor, with the view, principally, of ascertaining how far he would be dis posed to recommend her Majesty's Government to intro duce or sanction a Bill for authorising free grants of whatever Crown lands might be required for railway purposes. We understand his Excellency expressed his readiness to make such a recommendation, so far, at least, as relates to the actual lines, and a reasonable ex tent of land on either side. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN LINE (SYDNEY). — A public meeting has been held at Sydney, for the pur pose of adopting measures for the formation of a line from that port to Goulburn and Windsor, to be called the Great Southern and Western. The Mayor was called to the chair. Mr. Bradley, M.L.C., in moving the first resolution, proceeded at some length to explain the great advantage the colony would derive from the in tended line, and that the outlay would not exceed 1,000,0001. Mr. H. G. Smith said that amount would be the capital of the company, to be held in 50,000 shares of 20/. each, of which three-fourths would be re served for British capitalists. They were not going to make railways on the scale they were formed in Great Britain. Probably they would not lay down more than a single line ; this might be laid on wooden sleepers. Resolutions were then approved of in respect to the for mation of the company, and the provisional committee men, who were chosen by the meeting, were empowered, on 9,000 shares being subscribed for, to apply to the Colonial Legislature for an Act of incorporation. BATHURST AND SYDNEY.---A meeting has also taken place at Bathurst, to promote the construction of a line from that town to Sydney. Major-General Stewart pre sided. It was resolved, that the growing importance of this and the surrounding districts, and their increase in trade and commerce, coupled with the great advantages they possess for the growth of grain of all kinds, and for pastoral pursuits, render it hi g hl y d es i ra bl e t h at a railway communication should be established with Sydney. A committee was appointed for the establish ment of a company. REMANETS FOR NEXT SESSION. The legacy of legislation (says the Railway Chronicle) left by 1846 to 1847 turns out to be much more for midable than has been supposed. Upwards of sixty pro jected railways, lost last session, are to be brought for ward in the next. Already, also, a couple of new lines are projected from London directly west by Oxford and Cheltenham; one by the broad, and its rival by the narrow gauge promoters. Neither of these is a solitary line, or a final measure. The dispute is all for Wales; and each of these will merely be the trunk for a group of Welsh lines, by which the Great Western and the North-Western will dispute the large traffic intermediate between the broad and narrow gauge districts. The Leicester and Bedford is another new project for 1847. It is a child of the Great Northern, and Messrs. Cubitt and Gibbs are the engineers. The line is to proceed from Leicester through Bedford to Hitchin, there to join the Great Northern. There are to be 150,000 shares of 101. each, one-half of which are for the shareholders of the old Leicester and Bed ford, and the other half for the Great Northern Com pany.

Sergeant Carr, F division, entered the court and in formed Mr. Henry, the sitting magistrate, that being on duty in the Strand, about twelve o'clock on Thursday night, he observed a young female of prepossessing ap pearance and genteel address, who was evidently a stranger in town, wandering about the streets as if anxious to get some place of shelter, and, being annoyed by some loose women, she requested that he would pro tect her. She stated that she resided with her parents at the Kirbred Collieries, near York, but about a week back having left home with her brother for Birmingham, they remained there until Thursday last, when they arrived at the terminus in Euston-square, at five o'clock in the afternoon, at which time her brother was some what affected with drink. They then took a cab and drove to a coffee-shop in Great Russell-street, Blooms. bury, where, having taken some refreshment, they left a travelling bag and other articles, and proceeded to the Adelphi Theatre, which they left about eleven o'clock, and on getting into the street her brother called a cab, into which he got, telling her to return to the coffee shop, where he would call upon her in the morning. Seeing that she was perfectly sober, and col lected in her manner, he conveyed her to the station-house, where she gave the name of Mary Anne Beaver, and some suspicion being excited in con sequence of the abrupt disappearance of the person she called her brother, a temporary lodging was procured for her at the Globe Tavern, next door, where she re mained for the night, apparently satisfied with the pro tection afforded her. Yesterday morning, having again waited upon her to ascertain what further steps she would wish to take, he discovered that she had is her possession a 51. note, and s ome s il ver , an d h av i ng ex pressed a wish that he would accompany her to the coffee-shop, to learn something about her brother, he of course complied; but on arriving there they were told there were no tidings of her brother, upon which she became instantly affected in her mind, tearing her bonnet to atoms, together with the 54 note, the greater part of which she destroyed with her teeth, and swallowed the fragments. With some difficulty she was carried to the court, and while in the charge-room she appeared quite frantic. Mr. HENRY having ordered her to be brought into court, and seeing her in -a much excited state of mind, considered that the only course he could pursue was to hand her over to the parish authorities, and directed the sergeant who had the key of the carpet bag to open it for the purpose of getting some clue to her parents, who should be written to upon the subject. Mr. Boswood, who had been sent for, said that he would take charge of her for the purpose of obtaining the opinion of the medical attendant at the workhouse. WORSHIP -STREET. Mr. Charles Bindley, who was formerly in extensive business as a silk manufacturer, in Chapel-street, Spital fields, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, for final examination, charged with having feloniously in termarried with Ann Dewyss, he having, as alleged, two other wives then and still living. Mr. Stammer, the barrister, appeared as counsel for the defence, and a solicitor attended to watch the case on behalf of a creditor who had obtained judgment upon a debt incurred by the last wife, to the amount of 140/ It appeared that as police-constable Jones, G 159, was on duty in High-street, Shoreditch, on that day se'nnight, I he was accosted by a young man, named Dewyss, who informed him that the prisoner, about six weeks since, had contracted marriage with his aunt, a widow, carry ing on business in the silk trade, in Church-street, Shoreditch, and, that it was well known that he had already two other wives, who were both living, he wished to give him into custody on a charge of bigamy. While they were in conversation, he observed the prisoner approaching with a carpet bag in his hand, and accompanied by a young woman, also equipped for travelling; and his informant intimated that the latter was the second wife, with whom the pri soner was about to leave the country. The prisoner was thereupon taken into custody, and on learning the charge against him, he stated that the object of the prosecution was to procure his arrest, on account of debts incurred by the young man's aunt, and that he would at once admit the criminal charge, rather than satisfy the de mands of her creditor. After he had been locked up in the cell, the prisoner further acknowledged that he had a wife living at Nuneaton, in Warwickshire ; that he had also been subsequently married to another woman at Shoreditch Church, and finally to Mrs. Dewyss, at Stepney Church, in the preceding month. On learning these facts, the constable proceeded in quest of the second wife, but in making inquiries at the house of her nunt, ho was informed that she had purposely absented herself to avoid the alternative of appearing as a witness against the prisoner. On being asked if he wished to offer any answer to the charge, the prisoner merely replied that he was bound to admit its correctness. The MAGISTRATE, therefore, ordered him to be re manded for a week, to enable the police to produce the cessary evidence to substantiate the case. The constable Jones now stated that he had used his best efforts to discover and procure the attendance of the requisite witnesses, but had been wholly unsuc cessful, and was consequently unable to carry the case any further. Mr. BINGHAM said that the prisoner had been detained in custody solely in consequence of his own voluntary avowal of his alleged criminality, but as no direct testi mony had been brought forward to support the accusa tion, he must order him to be at once discharged. Mr. Stammers then addressed the magistrate, and be sought his intervention to prevent the arrest of the ac cused at the suit of his wife's creditors, in the purlieus of the court, as he understood that several sheriffs' officers were waiting to effect his caption the instant he left the bar. Mr. BINGHAM said, he presumed the sheriffs' offieeys must be aware that persons in custody were entitled to protection on their discharge from a court of justice until they reached their own homes; but it was a matter in which he had no power to interfere, and must leave the officers to act upon their own discretion and re sponsibility. On his liberation, the prisoner was surrounded by a large crowd of his friends, who escorted him along the passages to the street, where a body of his partisans to the number of nearly one hundred, had also assembled to accelerate his escape, but the instant he made his appearance, he was pounced upon by two bailiffs, an I hurried unceremoniously into a cab, in which he was driven rapidly off to a place of durance. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (From Punch.) Louis Philippe Orleans, an old man, w;th a large head, and a very confident expression, was charged be fore the bench, Public Opinion, with a mast flagitious act of child stealing. The case was very protracted, and involved many statements and counter-statements, but may be briefly summed up as follows : It appeared that a Spaniard, named Ferdinand, who had distinguished himself as a man-milliner—having been specially appointed as petticoat-maker and em broiderer to the lloly Virgin—died some years ago at Madrid, leaving behind him two little infant girls ; and it was for the crafty abduction of the younger of these children, by name Luisa—a young creature scarcely marriageable—that the prisoner was brought to the bar. He was an old off e nd er , f u ll o f su b t l e ti es an d tricks, which he played off under the guise of the most en chanting bonhom m i e , w hi c h, o f course , on ly ren d ere d him the more dangerous. This, however, was the first time he had appeared at the bar of public opinion as a child stealer. It was shown in evidence that the petticoat-maker died very rich ; and there was no doubt that the im mense wealth of the unfortunate Luisa was one reason for drawing upon her the attention of the prisoner ; who had also—there could be no doubt of it—considerable hopes of obtaining further advantages by meddling in her family affairs ; and further of ultimately obtain ing the larger share of the property on the death of her sister, reputed not to be of the most vigorous constitu tion. It was shown that Orleans had bad crafty accom plices in the business. He had introduced into the house of the young ladies a French hairdresser, named Bres son, who had turned the head of the innocent Luisa with the most glowing description of Orleans, surnamed Montpensier, a youth with great precocity of mous tache. The hairdresser, Bresson, had also contrived to give the young man's portrait (painted for the occasion) to the hapless Luisa; and the effect of a portrait of a handsome young man upon a girl of fourteen would be obvious, 4 '.e ilia*, a contract of marriage had been brought about by tio3 craftiness of the hair-dresser; and the child —however it might be attempted to palliate the circum stances by the forms of law—the child was, in a word, stolen from herself, her country, and her relations, by the guile and avarice of the prisoner at the bar. The COURT regretted that it could not interfere in even to ilagitiout a case. The prisoner must be dis charged ; though ha must not for a moment suppose that he left the Court with clean hands. hereupon the prisoner gave a knowing wink, chuckle, and left the Court, humming " Od peut on stre mieux nu'au sein de sa famille 1" A Goo]) ANECDOTE WELL APPLIED.—An Indian and a Kentuckian once made an agreement to hunt in company, and divide equally the game which they might chance to kill. Unfortunately, a crow and a wild turkey were all they shot. " Well," said the Kentuckian, at the end of the day, " as we are to divide equally, you take the crow, and I'll take the turkey; and I'll take the turkey, and you take the crow."—" How's that ?" in quired the Indian. The Kentuckian in rapid accents repeated his proposal, to which the Indian, after a blank and puzzled look, consented, but with the remark:--" It sounds all very fair ; but, somehow or other, you always get the turkey, and / always get the crow." This is an admirable illustration of the mode, not only in which the Americans have dealt with the Indians, but in which the aristocracy in all countries and ages have dealt with the people. Everywhere the cunning and the strong have leagued with the mass, under pretence of achieving the common good, but with the secret object of securing merely their own. They have put themselves at the head of nations, with the pro posal to divide equally the benefits accruing from this partnership, but they have invariably contrived to keep the turkey, and put off the poor bamboozled people with the erow.—lianiptien's History qf the English Aristocracy. ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. SITTING OF SEPT. 21.—A communication was re ceived from M. Walchner, an engineer of mines in the Grand Duchy of Baden, having for title " Observations on copper and arsenic, proving that these two metals are to be found everywhere." M. Walchner's facts do not establish the universal presence of copper and arsenic, but they have an extensive range. He has found them, he says, in all the iron mines he has visited, and in the ferruginated waters of Griesbach, Rippoldsdau, W is baden, Ems, Pyrmont, &c. This must not, however, alarm the drinkers of such waters, for the quantity of arsenic contained in them is so very small, that it re quires the nicest analysis to detect it at all. The re sult of M. Walchner's paper is, that copper and arsenic are also to be found in iron. If he bad merely declared this in the title of his paper, he would have done well. Another communication was received from M. Boussin gault on the process and character of digestion. Accord ing to M. Dumas, digestion consists of two orders of phenomena; it resupplies the materials of the blood in cessantly destroyed by respiration, at the same time that it restores or adds new principles to the organs. Thus, therefore, digestion must supply on one hand the respi ratory combustion, the source of animal heat, and on the other effect the assimilation of our food. Of the two phenomena, M. Boussingault regards the respiration as the most indispensable, inasmuch as the assimilation of food would be useless without the addition of the animal heat. The author proceeds at great length, to detail the experiments that he has made on albumen, fibrine, caseum, &c., to establish his opinion, but the thing itself appears to us to be so self-evident that we cannot under stand why so much time should have been bestowed in the way of exemplification. Theoretical disquisitions of this kind are very useful when they lead to any result or to the knowledge of any useful fact, but we would prefer one practical proposition, by which real advantage may be derived, to volumes of discussion on the mode of operation in phenomena, the general nature of which is already so well known. A Paperwas read on the means o f ascer t a i n i ng , with more certainty than hitherto, the action and intensity of electrical currents. The author, Al. Marie Daay, ap pears to have taken great pains to arrive at some useful knowledge on this subject, and as electricity is now made an important agent in many of the useful arts, he is entitled to the thanks of men of science and of the public at large for the labour that he has bestowed. M. Arago gave an account to the Academy of some of the effects of lightning upon electrical telegraphs in the United States of America, observing that the facts had been communicated to him by M. Eben Mariam, of Brookly, and entitled to entire confidence. On the 29th April of the present year, the lightning fell on the wire of the electric telegraph at Lancaster, without melting or breaking it. In the room, however, where the electric battery, by which the line is worked, is placed, a noise was heard like that of the discharge of a pistol, and se veral sparks were seen. On the 18th of May a telegra phic wire was broken by lightning, and several of the posts supporting the line were split. In this case there was a report equal to the discharge of two or three muskets. On June 3 the wire telegraph from Washington to Baltimore was so broken that the communication be tween the towns was suspended for several hours. On the following day, during another thunder-storm, the wire was not snapped, but at every stroke of thunder the hands of the telegraphic instrument moved as if the battery was at work. M. Pelouze presented to the Academy, in the name of M. Barreswill, a paper on the liquid blue obtained by condensing, by means of frigorific mixture, a compound of hypoazotic acid and bioxyde acid. M. Arago addressed some questions to" the members composing the section of chemistry respecting the new discovery of means for preparing a fulminating cotton, more potent than gunpowder, of which so much has been said iii the journals. M. Sehcenbein, the inventor, as serts that this cotton, although more powerful than gun powder, does not explode with noise, and has the advan tage of not soiling the tube through which it is dis charged. M. Arago said, before he would give credit to these assertions, he wished to know what was thought of them by the gentlemen of the section of chemistry ? M. Thenard observed, that if the preparation spoken of has the for ce o f p ro p u l s i on s t a t e d by the inventor, it is utterly impossibl e th a t th e di sc h arge can take place without detonation. M. Dumas said M. Scheenbein had given him several samples of his preparation. He bad, said M. Dumas, succeeded in making from cotton a paper clear and transparent as glass, and flexible as ordinary paper. The friction of this paper excites electricity in a very high degree. When a portion of it is placed in the dark it becomes luminous, and if it be rubbed against common paper or cloth it adheres to it with such force that it cannot be removed. This fact, added M. Dumas, was beyond contestation, for he had frequently made the experiment himself, but he knew nothing of the ful minating substance spoken of by the journals, and now alluded to by M. Arago. There might, for aught he knew to the contrary, be something of the kind, but the statements which had been made on that subject were probably much exaggerated. WHO WERE THE NORMANS ? The period from which the English aristocracy dates its origin is that of the Norman conquest. Aristocracy, indeed, there was in the country before, but that was an n Minted by the Normans ; and this epoch is the vaunted birth-day of our nobility. There is nothing of which we hear so much as of the pride of a descent from these first Norman nobles ; of the pure and immaculate blood derived from this long descent. To say nothing of the wretched fallacy of blood and descent—for the most wretched and mischievous fallacy it is which ever cursed the human race—being the pretext for every insolence, and every species of tyranny amongst men, and being besides, the most hollow bubble that ever was blown by pride, for, there is no beggar who, if he could trace his pedigree, would not find himself descended from kings, and no king who is not descended from beggars,---we will take the trouble to refer to the histories of the time, and show what these Norman conquerors really were. We shall then find that, so far from being a set of men to be proud of as ancestors, there cannot be a more scanda lously disgraceful origin. They were, in fact, a swarm of the most desperate and needy adventurers ; " a rascal rabble" of vagabond thieves and plunderers. They were not, in fact, one half of them, what they are pretended to be—Normans ; but collected by proclamation, and by lavish promises of sharing in the plunder of conquered England—vultures from every wind of heaven rushing to the field of British carnage. We shall find that, allowing the claims of such families as now can trace a clear descent from these men—and these are very few indeed—even such of them as were Normans were but of the lower and more rapacious grade. The great vultures fleshed themselves to the throat with the first spoil, and returned home, while their places were obliged to be repeatedly supplied, through renewed proclamations, and renewed offers of the punder of the Anglo-Saxons, from the still hungry tribes of knights who were wandering and fight ing any where for bloody bread. Again we shall come to the curious question, who the Normans actually were ? Who actually they were who actually were Normans ? And here will come another singular laying bare of the proud pretences of our prowl nobles. Forsooth, they are descended from the gal lant and chivalrous Normans. They will be de scended from them and them alone. There is not a soul of them who will claim the honour of descent from the Danes. Oh no ! The barbarous and bloody Danes, they are a scandal and an abomination ! They are thieves, pirates, plunderers, and savages. No body is descended from them, except some plebeians in the North of England, and except that the rabble rout of the common people are contaminated with their blood. And yet, who are the Normans ? Why, the Danes ! Yes 1 the proud aristocracy of England, such of them as have any long known descent at all, are actually de scended from the Danes I They are the legitimate issue of this bloody and barbarous people that nobody wishes to acknowledge as ancestors. The Danes, driven from England, fell on the shores of France, and amid the distractions of that kingdom, laid Paris in ashes, and seized on that district which thence received from these Northmenner or Normans, its name of Normandy. Here, though settled too com fortably for their deserts, they never ceased to keep an eye on the far richer prize of England, from which, for their cruelties and fiery devastations, they had been elLasecl away. In the time of the Conqueror, they had b een se ;;:led about two centuries in France ; and though they had ae,;:iired a considerable degree of external civilisation, and n..7ch martial discipline, yet, if we are to judge by their proce,' ,dings on the acquisition of Eng land, they had lost no ne of their greedy hunge r o f spoil, nor of their reckl ess and uthless disposition t o shed blood.—Llampden's History oi the English Aris tocracy. THE NEMESIS IN CHINA.—A third and; ci i ;,7aper edition of this work, which comprises the most conapiett; History of the (late War in China, is just published, complete in one volume, with maps and plates, price 12s. bound, and may be had of all booksellers. At a time (says the prospectus) when the gomparative efficiency of iron and wood as the material for co strutting steam vessels is engaging the most serious atten,','on of the seaman, the shipbuilder, and the engineer, ha been thought useful to place this work, combining an extra ordinary variety of interest, in a cheaper and more ac cessible form, before the junior members of all the pro fessions which it concerns. The Nemesis was the first iron steamer that doubled the Cape ; she bore a conspi cuous part in the Chinese war ; and the merits of this full, clear, and instructive narrative of her experiences and operations, were fully appreciated by the public in general, on its first appearance. But a more special in terest must attach to this work for the professed seaman and the engineer, pn account of the details of the diffi culties, emergencies, or,y imminent dangers to which the Nemesis was repeatedly eznosed from accidents and weather, and for the mechanicai skill, ingenuity, re suurees, and perseverance, so eminently displayed by Captain Hall, his officers, and crew. The book holds forth an impressive lesson to the young navigator, and amply deserves a place on his shelf beside the classic voyages of an Anson or a Cook, or any of the cele brated maritime worthies of other days. Need we add that, for a youth destined for tho naval profession, or just embarking in it, a more appropriate present could scarcely be found. POLYTECHNIC INSTITIITION.-..-011 Wednesday last we had the gratification of hearing a most admirable lecture at this establishment, on the electro-needle tele graph, by the Professor of Natural Philosophy, Doctor ljachhoffner. The learned gentleman proceeded to point out to his auditors the great advantage that sci entific application was likely to be to all classes of so ciety. He exhibited various illustrations to prove the theory was good in all its bearings, and he particularly delighted his audience by the clear, simple, and un affected style throughout his lecture, and the evident pains he took to render plain and intelligible that which at first appeared intricate, and at the same time without losing sight of its importance in a scientific point of view. The lecture was well attended, and at the con clusion the professor was greeted with loud and continued applaute. WORKS by ROBERT J. CULVERWELL, M.D. M.R.C.S. ha.

These interesting little volumes, although laearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths • nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our xistenee and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of as in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.
