MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY. The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market last week were on a fair average scale, and the same may be said of Beans; while those of Barley were l arger t h an for some time past. Of all other articles of home produce the receipts were very small. From Ireland upwards of 10,030 quarters of Oats came fresh to hand, but the imports of foreign Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Peas, were comparatively trifling—those of Oats, Linseed, and Flour, rather extensive—over 12,000 barrels of the latter article having reached us from America. From Kent rather more than an average quantity of English Wheat reached us to-day in excellent condition, but from Essex and Cambridgeshire the il'esh arrivals were small. Still, however, the show of samples was moderately extensive. The millers being mostly well in stock, and the potato accounts being considered rather more favourable than of late, the demand for all descriptions of English Wheat was somewhat inactive, without any im provement in the quotations. Yet prior to the close of busi ness a fair clearance was effected, at Friday's improvement in the quotations of from is tD 2s per quarter. There was evidently more inclination on the pal,: of the holders to do buzjuet , at that day's pricer. WHit free Foreign Wheat we were r i livlerately well, but not to say heavily supplied. Selected parceS of both red and white sold at Friday's im proved currencies, bat no advance upon them was noticed in any instance. Holders were again tolerably firm. For bonded Grein there was lei inquiry ; but about 2,000 quarters of Dantzic found buyeia ;or shipment to Holland, at late rates. We were fairly supplied with English Barley. ; but the supply of foreign was small. The best grinding parcels were in fair request, at about, previous quotation, ; but all other kinds hung on band. The supply of Malt was limited. Those parcels ready for delivery com manded a firm inquiry, at very full prices ; while the value of - other ki n d s was we ll supported. lre were much better supplied with Oats zn for some time yet the inquiry for that description of Grain was and fine Coin produced fully 6d per quarter more money arrivals from Ireland are expected to be trifling fur some t, - -+e hence.

The receipts at hull have been about 500 head of various kinds of stock, chiefly from Holland. By sea, about 200 Pigs have arrived in the metropolis from Ireland. We had on offer 830 foreign Oxen anti Cows, 2,300 ditto of Sheep and Lambs, end 22 Calves, near l y the whole of which found buyers at full lulus. The supply of hom,-fed Beasts was rgain moderately extensive, and of fair average quality. On the whole Beef wes in a sluggish state, and last week's quotations were barely sunported. From the northern dis tricts we received 2,200 Short-horns, from the western and midland counties, 700 Herefords, Devons, Bunts, &c., and from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds, the re mainder of the supply being chiefly detived from abroad. With Sheep we were, cmparatirely speaking, very mode rately supplied; hence the Mutton trade was active at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond the curren c i es o b tained on Monday last.

The imports of Wool into London in the past week have been extensive, vie., 117 bales from Adelaide, 1,380 bales from Bombay, 19bbales from Laun ceston, 919 bales from Port Philip, 529 bales from Algoa Bay, 241 bales from the Cape, 122 bales from Gibraltar, 70 bales from Lisbon, 202 bales from Seville, and 64 bales from Genoa.. In th e pr i vate contract market a good business is doing English Wool, at very full prices, but foreign and colonial qualities com mand very little attention. TALLW. This market has been very ac a ctive during the past week, and prices of every description of Tallow have advanced Is 6d to 2s per cwt. On the spot, new Y. C. is worth 46s to 46s 6d, and for forward delivery on or before the 31st De cember, 45s to 45s 6d. The quotation of Town Tallow is below its value. There are letters in from St. Petersburgh this.morning. The price there was very firm, and the ship ments are 70,000 casks, against 83,000 to the same date last year. THE DOOMED KING. —The king was not, as a man, venal and despicable. It should not be said that he fell through his worthlessness or personal climes. It should be for his political offences that he was ra tionally adjudged. And never was there prince in whom the ancient assertion, " He whom Gud means to destroy, be first drives mad," seemed more fully realised. Amiable and religious in his natural disposition, he had been educated in such principles of duplicity, and such ideas of kingly prerogative, that he exhibited the strangest mixture of directness of purpose and disregard of all truth that ever met in the same human being. He was truly the martyr of royalty; God seemed to have blinded his eyes, and to have hardened his heart, like that of Pharaoh, to deliver him up as the great victim of arbi trary principles. He had the air of a sacrifice from his youth; and when Vandyke painted his portrait to send to Bernini in Rome for the execution of his bust, that artist started at the view of it, and declared the posses. sor of that face born to destruction. In Vandyke's four celebrated paintings of him, we see him riding, as it were, on the p at h of his gloomy destiny. A melancholy, deep and fixed as death, reigns in his whole form and in every feature; and on that path he went, not with a wild impetuosity, but with a solemn, desperate, and downcast hardihood, blind to all the signs in heaven and on earth, the most wretched and incorrigible of mtn.— Eampden's History of the _English Aristocracy. DARING STREET ROBBERY.-011 Saturday after aeon Mr. Lalla, of 9, Castle -street, Long-acr e , was pass through Argyle-st reet, Regent-street, when he was i robed of his pocket-book, containing an I 0 U for .5/., bill on Alexander Brunswick for 300 f., and other valu able papers. The robbery is alleged to have been com mitted by a young man w h om Mr. Lalla immediately afterwards seized, but th e d e li nquent was rescued from bia s tad escaped. BANKRUPTC Y.-(THIS DAY.) .(BAbre Mr. Commissioner SitEr3r.r.ll).) IN RE SAMPSONOWYNNE. Sri th's case;.vvoieli was under the Small Dett4 Act, an attorney's clerk app ied to the Learned Commissioner under the following creurnstances:—He stated that an order of commitment had been granted by Mr. Commis sioner Evans, under the Small Debts Ace, against the defendant; but it was with great difficulty he could ever be seen, as he was always denied. On Saturday the officers saw him, and endeavoured to make a captie n, but the defendant got away. This morning they went to the house, and were referred to a person who answered to the defendant's name, and from their previous view of him, they had no hesitation' in tak ng him off to Horsemonger-lane Gaol. It was, however, discovered that they had taken the defendant's brother, and they were so much alike that it was with difficulty they could be distinguished. Although the mistake was beyond al doubt, the Governor of the gaol refused to discharge his prisoner, except under an order from this Court • The Learned COMMISSIONER referred to the Act, and said that he had no power to interfere; he could only grant it on an admission being made by the plaintiff or his attorney, on the back of the order, that the debt and costs had been paid. The Clerk asked whether the Governor would not be justified in discharging his prisOner Kithout an order, or, in fact, whether he could legally detain him, as he was not the party mentioned in the order. The Learned ComairssbaNna said he could give no advice; they must use their own discretion. GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.) A middle-aged man named Merry, was charged with stealing an inkstand from the Court of Common Pler.s, Guildhall, where the Revising Barrister, Mr. Arnold, is now carrying on the revision of the City Registration. The prisoner was stopped by a policeman when in the act of quitting the Court with his prize. He acknow ledged his guilt, to which he said he was driven by want, an assertion evidently contradicted by the re spectability of his dress and appearance. Finding that the excuse made little impression, he took another ground, and said that he committed the theft " in obedi ence to a sudden impulse which he could not resist. He had never felt such a sensation before." The latter ct n cession excited some laughter. He was ultimately re manded to Wednesday, that inquiries may be made into his character. It may be observed that a little sharper looking after such persons in the public courts and offices is much wanted. MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Michael Murphy, a tailor, living at No. 6, St. Ann's court, Soho-square, was charged this morning with as saulting complainant with scissors. John King said the defendant came home this morn ing, between three and four o'clock, and pulled all the bed-clothes off him. lie got up, and asked him what he meant by that, when he struck him a severe blow. The defendant then pulled out a pair of large scissors, and stuck them into his nose. He pulled them out, and with one of the blades made a deep gash in his arm about an inch and a half long. The complainant resisted him, and, in attempting to twist the scissors from bis grasp, had his hand cut across. • The police constable who took him into custody said the complainant was bleeding much at the nose, and there was a deep ugly gash on his arm. The defendant said he found the bed-room dcor locked, and it was not unfasten( d for a long time after he knocked. The complainant also had cut him with the scissors. The MAGISTRATE said he had used a very dangerous weapon, and he would fine him V., or send him to prison for six weeks. WORSHIP -STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John M'Cartney was brought before Mr. Broughton, charged with creating a mob, and violently assaulting the police. - 201 G stated that, on Saturday night last, about half past ten o'clock, he was on his beat in Horseshoe alley, L'horeditch, when he saw the prisoner in a most (x -citeable .in the midst of ab ou t s i x t y persons . Wit ness desired him to go home. Prisoner refused, but witness, thinking that he would be quiet, walked off, but as he was proceeding be suddenly received two tre mendous blows on the neck from the prisoner, who then fastened on him, and both fell to the ground. Prisoner then commenced kicking and biting witness, and, he be lieved, he would scarcely have escaped with his life, had not a brother police-constable come up to his assistance. The prisoner was then secured, but not without the ut most difficulty. This statement being corroborated, Mr. BnotronTox said that the police must be pro tected from such ruffians as the prisoner, otherwise they were of no use. H e s h ou ld comm i t hi m for three weeks to gaol, with hard labour. FUNERAL of THOMAS CLARKSON w e Y r e e s e t o e rd ns y gn , e t d h e to m o rtal fi n r e a mai l r e s n t s g f p TTh a c o e n 1: a in a r;k f 0 ; o r d n Church-yard. The funeral was st r i c tly p r i vate , f or , with the exception of Joseph Sturge, Esq., who arrived unexpectedly, none but relatives took part in the ceremony. Several gentlemen from Ipswich and the neighbourhood were, however, present to testify their respect for the memory of the venerable philanthropist, and their sympathy for the bereaved widow and fatnily. The funeral cortege, con sisting of the hearse, drawn by four horses, and four mourning coacheJ, each drawn by two horses, left Play ford Hall a few minutes past one o'clock. In the first coach, which preceded the hearse, were Arthur Biddell, Esq , and J. D. Harmer, Esq. In the coach following the hearse were Thomas Clarkson, &el , grandson of the deceased gentleman, chief mourner, the Rev. W. Dickinson, Mrs. Dickinson, the Rev. Foster Maynard, and Mrs. Dyce. The next con- John tained Robert Buck, Esq' Alexander H a ld ane, Esq., were J. Co bent H, E ard cassq., and Mrs. Corsbie. In th e l ast A. tle, Esq., and Joseph &urge, R.q. The procession was closed with the pri vate carriage of Mr. Clarkson, followed by the domestics of the establishment. As soon as the outer gate of the domain was reached, the car riage of R. N. Shawn, Esq., with that gentleman inside, fell into the line of procession, which was further increased by the addition of the gentlemen from the neighbourhood. In this ord er t h ey proceeded through the village to the c h urc h yard, passing, at every point, groups of the inhabi tants, whose respectful demeanour was a most gra tifying feature in the scene. Arrived at the church yard, some little time was occupied in drawing the coffin from the hearse, owing to its great weight, and the mourners having alighted, and entered the consecrated ground, they were headed by the Rev. T. D. West, Vicar of Rushmere, who read the beautiful burial service of the Church of England most impressively. The family vault, in which rest the remains of Thos. Clark son, Esq., barrister, the deceased's son, whose death oc curred in 1837, is situate near the door, in the south side of the chancel. The coffin, containing besides a shell and a leaden coffin, and covered with plain black cloth, with a silver plate on the top, having the name of the deceased and the dates of his birth and death en graved thereon, having been lowered Jnto the vault, the family returned to the Hall, and the spectators shortly afterwards dispersed. The funeral was under the super intendence of Mr. Ray and Mr. Maplestone, of Ipswich. —•&PM Chronicle. AUSTRIAN FUNDS.—VIENNA, SEPT. 26. 5 per Cent.

Mr. Buun commenced his campaign here on Satur day night, with the opera of The (!rusaders, and the new ballet of The OSVring qf the Flowers, of which the sylphlike Flora Fabbri is the heroine. The plot of the ballet is soon told. Estelle (Madame Theresa Theodore) is about to be married to Prince Julian, (Mons. Theodore), with the consent o f h er f a th er t h e Duke (Mr. Howell), but there is a certain Page, Enrico (Mons. Bretin), who loves the fair Estelle, and in consequence of his love is expelled from the castle. The rejoicings for the nuptials go on, and there is here introduced an excellent pas d'ensemble by the corps de ballet, and a pas de deux by the be trothed, in which Mons. and Madame Theodore were much applauded. The exiled page is conveyed to Fairy Land, none of the denizens of which seem in clined to pay any attention to the forlorn lover. The Queen, however, takes pity on his case , an d f rom a flower raises a Nymph, who is the very perfection of his earthly love. The budding and blowing of this beautiful flower is admirably managed, and when Ersile (Mademoiselle Flora Fabbri), the very ideal of love, stands before him he forgets his mortal love, and is fascinated by her trans cendental antitype. Here is introduced a pas by Mademoiselle Fl o r a F a bb r i, somew h at resembling one of the dances of the Viennoise children, which almost induces him to forget the Princess ; and then comes a pas de sehalls, in which the fair offspring of the flowers completely fascinates him, as she does the audience, for it was rapturously and most deservedly applauded. Never did Flora Fabbri dance more ex quisitely. Then comes the pas de glace, a dance on the ice, by Flora Fabbri, in which she sees her shadow reflected in the iced surface, a la Cerito, in the pas de l'ombre. In the secon d ac t we are again introduced to the court of the Duke—great rejoicings are going on at the marriage of the Prin cess. The page is there, but completely cured of his love for the mere mortal. There is a prize, inscribed "To the most graceful." The page enters leading in the Offspring of the Flowers ; Flora Fabbri dances La Castigliana, an exquisite castanet dance, and the prize is awarded to her by acclamation. Thus ends this ballet, the pearl chain running through and stringing into one the pearls,which consist of the various pas of which it is composed, and which, if they could be brought nearer together by judicious condensation, would make it, perhaps, one of the most popular ballets that has ever been produced. M. and Madlle. Theodore (who made their debut last night) are ex cellent choareographic artistes ; but Flora Fabbri is the diesse—upon her fell the whole weight of the ballet, and nobly did she sustain it. There was a freshness about her dancing that was perfectly de lightful. Considering the great call there was upon her physical powers, it must have been to her a labour, but it was a labour of love. She danced because dancing was to her a language—the only language in which she could adequately express her sentiments. It was for her a perfect triumph. The success of the ballet was complete, and it will run, no doubt, during the whole of Flora Fabbri's engagement. The theatre has been completely renovated during the recess, and a new drop-scene, by Grieve, was exhibited for the first time. It is very brilliant and admirable as a speci men of scene painting, but scarcely equal to the drop • scene of Acis and Galatea, from the pencil of Stan field, which has been exhibited for the last—we will not say how many seasons. It is, no doubt, now "used up ;" last season it exhibited evident symp toms of decay, and Mr. Bunn has shown his taste in giving us an entirely new scene in preference to vamping up the old drop-scene (however exquisitely painted) of Stanfield. Before the commencement of the opera the National Anthem was sung by the ;hole corps operatiquc. The house was crowded to the ceiling. DR, BOWRING IN THE ISLE OF MAN. We have received a recent number of itionu's Herald, which details with great minuteness the festivities which have been got up at Douglas, in celebration of a visit of our distinguished fellow townsman, the Hon. M.P. for Bolton. This visit, in which the Learned Gentleman was accompanied by his son, the Earl of Clarendon's secretary, was intended to have been private; but the natives, who regard him as " their Island's best friend," and are grateful for his exertions in procuring their municipal, legal, and commercial emancipation, were in a fervent heat of expectation at the news of his arrival— thronged the pier, went out in delegation boats to receive him from the Liverpool steamer, and surrounded his barouche upon the pier, where he addressed them, and again at Castle Mona. -in the evening bonfires and fireworks were displayed. The next day (Friday 18th) Dr. Bowring proceeded to Castle-town, and had an interview with Governor Hope. Several deputations waited upon him, respecting the harbour funds, highways registration, and other in sular affairs. The next day he visited Ramsey, where he was entertained at a public dinner, W. Callister, Esq., in the chair. On Monday, there was a dinner in the Odd Fellows' Hall, Douglass, Colonel Campbell of Raversdale in the chair. " The landowners present" represented ten thousand acres of lanfl. l'he health of Dr. Bowring was given and responded to in an impressive speech ; the health of Mrs. Bow ring and family was acknowledged by Mr. E. Bowring, who proposed " the Ladies of Mona." 1)r. Bowring proposed the toast, "Popular Representation in the House of Keys," In the course of his speech he said, " Here are in this island 50,000 people ; and it is impos sible they can continue longer without a voice in making their laws—th e y can no l onger b e governe d b y a -self elected body. We do not want the insular government merge in that of England ; but this is what we want, to have load rights and local interests controlled by local bodies, representing the people. I respect the claim which the Manx people make for their local institutions; but I would have them assimilated to the intelligence of the age. I hope the laws will still be proclaimed on Tynwald Hill; but when the representative of Majesty shall go there to Twynwald, carryieg his act to be pro claimed, I want him to be able to say " This law was made by yourselves—made through the representatives of the public sentiment, and the will of the people." The present state of things is absolutely intolerable. It is not credible—it would not be believed elsewhere that the advocates who may have been employed in the process or cause sit as judges to hear th e cause on ap peal ; besid es , th e blending of tha legislative, executive, and judicial powers can be endured no longer. When I mentioned the fact to one high in authority, of advo cates sitting as judges, lie seemed not t o k now th e ex istence o f t h e f act, and doubted its truth—well he might. The public indignation will be aroused on hearing of usage, and it will not be tolerated—it shall no be to:e rated—it shall be rertioved."— Western Times.

The interest token in this election by the Livery of London seems to increase as it approaches the con cluSion of the poll. The Livery Lave- done their work manfully to. day, and have placed Alderman Wood in a position from which no one can entertain any doubt of his success. Bills and placards around the Guilhall are as thick, to use a common phrase, as blackberries. We. cannot refrain from selecting the following from amongst them:— " Livtry of London—Who is it that now • stands for ward to oppose you and Alderman Wood? No less a man than Mr. Anderton. Now read is own opinion of ,kld(rrnan Wood in 1844:—‘ I have for some years watched the worthy Aldo' man as a pirate individual, as a magistrate, and as a professional man, and I v,ill defy any one to put a finger , Ipon any one act.--dishonourable to him, either as a magistrate,_ a Solicitor, or a private individual. fti till the relations of life there is not a single act which itts,.tnetnies have ever pointed against itim.• No man has preormed the sevcral duties of the corporation with more credit or honour: Come up then to the hustings mcl poll for Alderman Wood." At three o'clock the poll closed, and at half-past three the following was announced to be the state of the poll: Mr. Alderman Wood Sir George Carroll Mr. Alderman Hooper 2BB Mr. Alderman Muon Mr. Alderman Farocomh . The announcement was received with great cheering. Mr.BENNOCH then came forward to address the Livery, and after passing a high eulogium on Alderman Wood, concluded by stat i ng that ha he adopted the course that many would have done, and, in fact, that many had done, instead of being stigmatised, he would have b een praised.—(Ch eers.) Mr. WILKINSON then came forward to address the Livery, and in a most humourous speech, in which the Court of Alderman was not spared, and the Livery in structed how to perform their duty, he called upon every man present to perform his duty, and secure the election of Alderman Wood. Mr, Alderman WOOD then came forward to address the Livery, and was received with the most enthusiastic cheers. Ha again, in the most positive terms, denied the charge that had been made against him— entered most fully into the statement thet had been made by Mr. Anderton, and concluded by calling upon the Livery to support him and their own independence. After some observations from Mr. Holt, the Court adjourned to to-morrow morning at nine o'clock.

THE SOUTH-EASTERN AND COUNTY OF KENT.—MEETING AT SEVENOAKS. SEVENOAKS, SATURDAY AFTERNOON. A public fleeting of the inhabitants of S, venoalis and the neigh bourhood was held this afternoon, to take into considera tion the recent policy of the South-Eastern Company, in the matter of the increase of the fares on their line, and also for the purpose of considering what steps Should be taken to secure the most direct and cheapest line of rail way communication with the metropolis. Amongst the leading persons present were the Marquis of Camden, Lord Holmesdale, the Right Hon. J. C. lierries, Mr. Mildmay, Mr. Lambard, Mr. Petley, Mr. Hussey, Mr. Adams, Captain Nepean, Captain Gordon, Captain Ran dolph, Mr. J. P. Atkins, the Rev. J. Austen, Rev. T. Wilgress, Mr. W. Holcroft, M r . T . Carvell, Rev. Mr. Bloxam, Mr. Tonge, Mr. John Ellis, Mr. H. Hughes, Mr. Briggs, Mr. Peat, Dr. Gellatly, Dr. Harris, Mr. Golding, Mr. Nonaile, the Rev. T. S. Curtis, Rev. Mr. Onslow, Rev. Mr. Repton, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Colm an , Rev. Mr. Burton, Mr. Mager, &c. It was stated that Earl Amherst, who was in Wales, and Earl Stanhope, in Scotland, both concurred in the objects of the meeting. The Marquis of CAMDEN having taken the chair and Gpened the business of the meeting, Mr. lIOLCROFT said, that in consequence of sugges tions he had received from Lord Amherst and others, he had forwarded a notice of the intended meeting to the solicitors of the South-Eastern, and London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Companies, in order that they might attend it. He believed that some gentlemen con nected with the latter company had arrived, but he un derstood that no one appeared for the South-Eastern Company, neither had any answer whatever been received from them, or any notice taken of bis communication. From what had transpired at the meeting held at Can terbury, on Monday last, it was understood that the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company had al ready directed surveys of a line to be made. The meeting having expressed a wish to have some information with regard to the plans proposed by that company, an invitation to attend was sent to the deputa tion from the company, and Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, the deputy chairman, Mr. Burchell, one or the solicitors, and Mr. Sherrard, the engineer, immediately attended. The Noble Chairman having called the attention of the depu- Lion to the objects of the meeting, Mr. WILKINSON said that the engineer being present with him, that gentleman could give the fullest informa tion as to the engineering detitils of the line now pro posed. The circumstances under which the Mid Kent Atmospheric project had been defeated in the last ses sion had induced the projectors to improve the line of last year. He had not attended for the purpose of giving any pledges of what the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company intended to do. What he had to com municate must necessarily be more historical than pro phetical, as he had received the invitation to attend this meeting only late last evening, on his return to town, so was not in a w th i a th t h h e is h c a o d lle n s o g t u h es a , d an al d ly co o n p s p e o g r s tu es n t i l t jy. of communicating posi tion to speak upon the authority. of the board. He could, however, state that instructions had bee.' given to survey the best lines that could be had between Lon don and Tunbridge, and branching' off through Maidstone to Canterbury. lle then adverted to the breach of faith committed by the South-Eastern Company, and contended that their previo us re d uct i on o f f a res had infl uence d t h e minds of the Committ ee o f the House of Commons in their favour, and aga i nst t h e co mpeting line of the Atmo spheric Company, whose Bill was rejected, though it offered a maximum rate of fares still lower. lle then entered into an Exposition of his well-known views with regard to the policy of charging low fares to the public, asserting that low fares and ample accommodation were most advantageous to all parties concerned.—(Hear.) After deprecating the raising of fares for the purpose of obtaining a mere temporary profit without regard to the permanent interest of shareholders, he referred to the proposals made last year by the Atmospheric Company in this respect, and reminded the meeting that if them p: oposals had been unanimously supported by the land owners of the county in a more decithd manner, there would not have been any necessity for their meeting together as cn the present occasion.—(hear.) llis col leagues at the board of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway had determined to prosecute a scheme which would be an improvement tivn that of last ses sion, and it only r ema i ne d f or the landowners of the county of Kent t o d ec id e upon giving their support to it in such a way as would secure for it a favourable recep tion before Parliament in the next session.. . nany, the requisitionists had deputed him to tender their support to any company who who would undertake to make a direct line from London to Dover—viz., through M Bromley to Seveno a k s an d T unbridge, and through. aidstone, Sittingbourne, Favershi..m, Canterbury to Dover, and hc was on l y to happy to and find that their wishe s Nver e • lik e ly to b e realised by the scheme now proposed by the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. explanati on - g i ven • by Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. The Right lion. J. C. li nntaEs said, that having heard th e Sherrard, it now became necessary to propose some re solution. For his own part he thought that Mr. Wil kinson's statement was extre considered the ly. s question i n all its bearings as a ff ect i ng the general requirements of the country, and especially their immediate and local wants, which, as far as they were concerned, were the Most im portant after all. The Light Honourable Gentleman concluded by proposiug the following resolution,:_ " That ~ a line of railway from London., or from the Croydon Railway through Bromley and Scvenoaks, to Tunbridge,. will be in every respect the most advantageous for the interests orthn public in general, and of the county in particular. 'hat the line proposed to be executed by the London and Brighton and South Coast Railway appears to us to be better calculated to secure these advantages, and to serve the interests and convenience of Sevenoaks and its neighbourhood, than any other plan that has been hitherto proposed." Mr. W. LAS 113.111; of Beechmont, seconded the reso lution. • . The Noble CIIAinmAN, before putting the resolution, expressed his regret that he should be the only one pre sent who entertained opinions in any way at lariance with those of the meeting. He was always anxious, if possible, to think with his neighbours, but in this matter he must differ from them ; for he thought they had not considered sufficiently the extreme improbability that Parliame:lt would sanction any other lines next session than those proposed by the South-Eastern Company. The Noble Marquis then put the resolution to the meet ing, Which was carried by acclamation. On the motion of Mr. HERRIES, seconded by Mr WILKINSON, a vote of thauks was passed to the Chairman Mr. SIIERRARD, the enoineer, produced his plans, and entered into a number of details and explanations upon matters of a local nature, The CHAIRMAN asked if they would have the same tunnels'as last year? Mr. SHERRARD said they would, but they would have better gradients. . _ _ The - CumumAN—llave you not abandoned the atmo spheric principle? Mr. SHERRARD—YeS; or rather they had abandoned the atmospheric gradients. The line would be laid out as most favourable fur locomotive traction. The gra dients were decidedly better than those of last year, and the line would be shorter. With respect to Maidstone, that town would practically be placed on the main line as far as the convenience of the public was concerned. Every train up and down would stop at the Maidstone station. OPENING OF NEW LINES. The Seamer and Filey Branch cf the Scarborough Railway was inspected by General Pasley on Thursday last, and its opening is officially announced to take place this day (Monday). . The delay in the opening of the branch line of the London and North Western Branch to Bedford, from the junction at Bletchley, has arisen from some subsi dence in a portion of the works. It is now finished, and the opening is finally fixed for the 14th inst. The Eastern Counties Branch to North Woolwich is to be completed for public traffic before Christmas next. The company are having powerful steam bridges, or ferries, built for the transit of passengers across the Thames. The line runs along the waterside of the Es sex marshes, and branches into the Thames Junction and the Eastern Counties Colchester main line at the Stratford staticn. Mr. Samuels is the acting engineer. The Stamford and Peterborough was publicly opened on Friday last ; Captain Coddington, the Assistant In spector of Railways, having examined the works on the previous day, in company with Mr. C. P. Roney the secretary to the Eastern Counties, to whiCh company it has been leased. It is twelves miles long. The Hull and Beverley line has also received the sanction of the Government officers. Its opening takes place this day (Monday). IMMENSE CONTRACT FOR IRON.--There is an accre dited rumour here, says the Hereford Times, that Sir John Guest, Bart., Dowlais Iron works, o has just com pleted a contract to supply two hundred thousand tons of iron rails, at 101. per ton—the total value of which will be two millions sterling. The same iron, three or four years ago, would have been sold at from five to six pounds per ton! It is to be hoped that the operators throughout these immense works will participate, by a liberal advance of wages, in the vast profit to arise. LYNN AND DEREHAM.—The works on this line, be tween Narborough and Swaffham, are progressing very rapidly, under the superintendence of Mr. Hall, the resi dent engineer. The contractors for the line, Messrs. Frost, Fry, and Matthewson, have upwards of 600 men employed. LYNN AND ELY.--The first experimental trip on the Lynn and Ely Railway was performed on Friday from Ely to Downham. The train conveyed a number of the directors and their friends. It is expected that the line will be opened for traffic in a few weeks. The South-Western have agreed with Mr. Brassy, the contractor, for the execution of the Fareham branch. The works will be commenced forthwith. During the last few days a survey has been made of the property at Landport, preparatory to the usual notices being given a o n f A t Ah second tc c ot o on m de p xl a it n ne company's 'ds oftheir rails a iis intention rnoemt to apply the a p Chichester t Lion P a ro m tah e d n in t for g iis rapidly approaching completion. in EXTENSION OF THE NORFOLK STATION AT NORWICH. G t o a a t e r w l oR The increasing traffic, which is almost every day develop ing itself on the Norfolk line, has rendered a considerable extension of the terminus at Norwich absolutely neces sary. The hamlet of Thorpe, with its beautiful meadows adjacent to the river Wensom, has been within the last few months completely changed into a bustling village. Twelve months ago the only hum of occupation heard to proceed from its quiet street was the monotonous splash of the mill-wheel as it performed its daily labour; but now for 50 acres, almost as far as the eye can reach, the green sward has been cut away, houses and factories have been erected, and a little city has sprung up, as it were, by magic. The entire traffic of the capital of Eastern Anglia, as far as its carrying trade goes, ap pears to be concentrated at this place. The quantity of agricultural produce transmitted from the various corn-growing districts throughout the county to the metropolitan markets is also steadily increasing.' During the last few months 24,432 beasts, 21,500 sheep, 6,272 pigs, and 8,796 tons, or 89,096 quarters, of grain have been conveyed to the metropolis. The passenger traffic has likewise considerably increased, upwards of thirty trains either arrive or depart from the Thorpe station every day. During the last month express trains have been running to Louden and back, a distance of 252 miles, in eight hours an d s i x t een mi nutes. The London morning journals now arrive in Norwich by twelve o'clock, and at Yarmouth is about an hour afterwards. RAILWAY SLEEPERS.—A diversity of practice appear ing to have existed on the part of the revenue officers in the admeasurernent of timbers of irregular dimen• sions, intended as sleepers for railroad purposes, the Commissioners of the Customs department have directed the principles of the revenue at the port of London, and at the several outports of the Unitsd Kingdom, to be informed, for the future government of the officers under their supervision in the matter, that when the description of wood goods in question do not exceed two cubic feet in content, the same are to be taken account of as directed by the seventh section of the official instructions for the guide of the Customs' timber measurers, viz., to take the length, height, and width of the pile, to the full extent in feet and inches, Other questions having been put and replied to by Mr. Sherrurd, The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Carnell, the agent for the South-Eastern Company, if he had any communication to make to the meeting? Mr. CARNELL said he had not received any instructions, and had no authority to make any statement; but as he knew what were the boni2 fide intentions of the South- Eastern Company, he could assure the meeting that the company would prosecute a line next session, similar in a h o l tearesmt Bastedye n e t a , r; s till he knew thi s that is, it would Valley.

He Thought that Mr. Wilkinson's rea soning as to the policy of low fares could not be borne out by experience, and although he regretted what had occurred with respect to the fares being raised by the South-Eastern Company, ho considered that as the at mospheric principle had been abandoned— Mr. WILKINSON—The atmospheric principle has not been abandoned. _ compute the content to an entirefoot, and reject the frac tional part ; that when they exceed two feet, and do not exceed five feet in content, thry are to be treated in conformity with the 17th and 23d sections of the said instructions, viz....to take the length to the quarter of . . a foot, and the breadth and thickness, at the middle o the piece, to a quarter of an inch, including, in each separate content, every fractional part amounting to the tenth of a cubic foot; and that when exceeding five feet in content, and not exceeding ten feet in length, and being eight inches square, and roundwodd, nine inches in diameter and upwards, the same are to be dealt with agreeably to the board's general order, issued in April last, viz., that with resgect to the recent im portation of wood of irregular form, being eight inches square and upwards, the admeasurement of which had not previously been provided for by any existing order, the following regulations be adopted:— viz., that timber and wood, eight inches square and up wards, and not exceeding ten feet in length ; and rounll wood nine inches in diameter and upwards, not exceeding ten feet in length, be measured in the following manner— viz., the length of each piece to half a loot, and the breadth and thickness of square, and the diameter of round timber to a quarter of an inch, the content being computed to half a foot, with directions to the officers strictly to govern themselves according to this rule. As this description of wood is now being imported to a very great extent, especially from Canada and other of the British provinces of North America, for the particular purposes to-which it is applied, a nd which is likely, in consequence of the large amount of railway operations in progress and in embryo throughout the kingdom, to continue to be the case, the mode in which the official account for the duties is in future to be taken will be in teresting and of importance. Mr. CARNELL had Mr. Sherrard's authority for this statement. _ that the gradi e nt s , which w S e n r E e ß o ß n A ly ßp su — it O ab h le n fi o z ! the say atmospheric, have been Mr. abandoned, and better gradients substituted.

Mr. LATTA, of Bromley, stated that as be had been requested to represent the views of upwards of two thou sand inhabitants of this county, he had attended the meeting in the hope that some parties would have been h present from S the out-Eastern Co mpany. The requi sitionists, who had desired him to represent their griev ances, wished to know, in the first place, what had oc curred to change their policy since the 27th of Decem ber, 1845.—(11ear, hear.) They wish. d to know also whether it was true that the Sooth-Elstern Company in tended to branch off from their North ICent line through the 14i1Orell'aia valley, stFpight 7 5 h M -inidatono and Ash ford to Folkestone?

The death of the Baron was quite sudden, After taking a glass of water, he was observed to louk pale and be tremulous, and in a few moments more fell down and instantly expired. He had been complaining of illness for nine or ten days previously, brought on, it was supposed by his family, by mental anxiety in connexion with the further hearing of his case, which is appointed for next month ; but the illness was not at any time deemed such as . to cause any anxiety, and he had so far recovered on the day previous to his death, that his medical adviser suggested to him the propriety of taking an airing in the carriage. The Baron was in his seventieth year. Though his means were comparatively limited, he kept two car riages and several servants. lie has left three sons, the eldest of whom has been abroad for some time, but is on his way home, Their ages vary from twenty to thirty. The relatives of the Baron ascribe his death to the anxiety of mind consequent on the continued prosecution of his claims. SUBMARINE RAILWAYS. —. Mr. De la Hue, after the reading of a paper " On Ancient and Modern Modes of Travelling," at the Liverpool Polytechnic Society, on Monday, in which he expatiated upon the advantages of railway transit, and expressed his belief that, by-and-by a daily communication would be e tablished between China, India, and London, by means of the electric tele graph, alluded to his invention of submarine railways. Mr. De la Haye's plan is to construct an immense iron tube, to be lowered from above, and rivetted together by means of the diving-bell. When completed, rails are to be laid down, and locomotives, unaffected by external influences, are to career beneath the bosom of the deep. His theory is, that the violence of the most violent storms is not felt lower than twenty feet below the surface, and that the pressure of the water, together with the accu mutation of sand, &c., would retain the tube in the post tion in which it might be placed, Mr, Pr la live is a British sphjecti of lerench eKtraption, and is ve r y en itinsiastip ih bis hope as to the 401)0014 and atipvitsB of his inveution.—hiverpool Standard, - • - jPLAT'rI--,SUSPENSION OF HOSTILfTIES.

" Buenos Ayres, July 15, 1846." NI EXPOSURE OF HUMAN REMAlNS.—Throughout the whole of yesterday, the greatest excitement and disgust pervaded the neighbourhood of the Caledonian road, Islington, Maiden-lane, and King's-cross, en the disco very of a large quantity of human bones and pieces of coffins exposed in the public thorough fares of these localities, under circumstances of a most suspicious and mysterious character. The secresy observed in bringing the remains to the various spots has been such as almost entirely to prevent the detection of the parties who have been .guilty of this gross act. In Albion-street, a new street running from the Wharf-road, Maiden-lane, to the Caledonian - road, a cart-load of earth, &c., was shot on Saturday in the middle of the road, which is in the course of con struction, and emitted a most disgusting effluvium, l.ut was not noticed to contain the remains of human beings. The stench caused an examinatisn to be made, and seve ral other portions of coffins half rotted, and human bones were found. In Bath -street an River-street, two new streets in the course of formation on the north side of the Regent's Canal, a more disgusting proceeding has been resorted to—upwards of three waggon loads of black earth, intermingled with 'human bones, have been deposited in these streets, and men have been employed to sift the earth for the purpose of mixing portions of it with lime. The bones left in the sieve, composing all parts of the human frame, were thrown on one side and partially buried under clay. The stench arising is of a most dreadful description, No one can tell where the bones, &c., have been brought from, nor who are the parties concerned. The reporter was present at the various spots, and saw leg and arm bones and portions of human skulls thrown about in all directions. Whet the police could have been about in allowing such a proceeding to take place without inter ference is asked by every one, as it is stated that two cart loads of the black earth, &c., were deposited in River-street yesterday morning at two o'clock. THE 'WELLINGTON STATUE. •-••••• The manner in which Mr. M'Cullum, boatswain of the Woolwich Dock • yard, and the riggers under fit direction, accomplished the raising of the great weight of this statue, has sur prised many persons, but Mr. ;.:'Cullum does not consider the feat more that an ordinary task, as he would have no hesitation in undertaking to raise a body of one hundred tons weight to a similar height of one hun• dred and five feet, which the base on which the eques trian statue of the Duke of Wellington now stands is from the ground. The work of raising the statue was accomplished by forty-four men, eight at each of the four "crabs" for coiling the ropes, two holding on, and one at each stopper. Some idea of the strength of the framework may be formed, when it is computed that it supported a weight of about ninety tons at a height of upwards of 105 feet from the ground. This is ascertained by calculating the weight of the statue, the ropes and tackling, and the number of per sons, of whom there were always upwards of sixty, in ducing strangers, on the scaffolding, until the statue was raised to its proper position. So excellently were all the parts adjusted, that four men, with two single ropes, moved the statue backwards and forwards on the tramway, when Mr. Wyatt adjusted it on the Thursday after it was raised to the top of the arch. The framework required 250 loads of timber, the whole of which was supplied by W oo l w i c h Dockyard,, and the ex pease of ironwork and labour, including the cart iage, exceeds 5001., and with the timber the total expense of raising the statue will exceed 9001. Admiral Byham Martin, Vice Admiral Mat son , C ommo d ore William Henry Sheriff, late Captain Superintendent of Chatham Dockyard, and a number of naval and military officers, sisited the statue since it has been placed on the top of the arch, and expressed their entire approbation of the way in which the whole of the arrangements were made and into execution. EXTENSION AND COMPLETION OF THE OVERLAND ROUTE TO INDIA, AND THE WHOLE EASTERN ARCHI• PELAGO.—We believe that we can safely affirm that the East India Company have given their sanction to a line of railway across the southern continent of India, with the view of facilitating our intercourse with the East, with China, and with our Austealian possessions. The forthcoming report of Mr. Simms suggests the necessity of intersecting the presidencies of Madras and Bombay by a line of railway, and thus bringing within a month or six weeks journey to England the most distant pos sessions in the southern hemisphere. If this project be carried out, it will change the commerce of the whole world, and consolidate our vast and scattered fragments of empire into something like a tangible whole. To reach China in one month, Australia in six weeks, red to traverse the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, and the vast sweep of waters in the southein hemisphere in the same space of time, may truly be said t o b e a grand and gigantic scheme. Sir Robert and Lady Peel have arrived at Drayton Manor, from town, after visiting her Majesty at Windsor Castle. The Right Hon. Baronet's mansion in White hall-garlens is undergoing a course of thorough repair. THE IRON TRADE.—BlEmmourAm, SATURDAY.— In anticipation of the usual quarterly meetings about to take place, it appears that the ironmasters of South Staffordshire, have held a preparatory meeting at Dudley, and after maturely weighing every circumstance connected with the trade, particularly in reference to the anticipated demand for rails, and to the operation of the New American Tariff, resolves unanimously not to advance the prices, but continue them at the ensuing quarter at the same rate as the past, viz., bars and rods, 101. per ton; hoops, 10/. 10s.; sheets (single), 11/. 10s.; and in other descriptions, in the usual proportion. i Ii'EARFUL ACCIDENT AT A BREWERY.—OnSa turday afternoon, between the hours of five and six o'clock, an accident of a most fearful character, and which it is feared will prove fatal, occurred to a man named Edward Windsor, a bricklayer, who was engaged at work at Messrs. Harrison's, the extensive brewers, in the Hampstead-road. The unfortunate man was at the period in question on the top of the building, and by some unaccountable means lost his footing and fell into a well, from a height of above 250 feet. He was conveyed in a cab to the London University College Hospital, when it was ascertained by the house sur geon that he had sustained a broken leg, fractured both arms, and other serious injuries, so as to leave no hopes of his final recovery. WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL—On Saturday afternoon a meeting of the medical and managing committee of the Westminster Hospital was held at the institution, near Westminster Abbey, for the purpose of commencing the winter session of the school of medicine, and on other business. Mr. Erichsen took the chair, and after wards delivered the introductory medical address to a very full court. From the report of Mr. J. Wilson, the secretary, it appears that since the establishment of the Westminster Hospital, in 1719, it has afforded the re quired relief to upwards of 323,000 patients. During the past year the number of in-patients amounted to 1,580, hissing, since the establishment of the hospital, progressively increased from 771 annually to that num ber: the out-patients were upwards of 8,400, of which it is stated 5,689 were accidents and urgent cases, ad mitted without letters of recommendation at all hours. The number of inmates at present maintained is 164; namely, 77 males, and 87 females. Four wards, capable of receiving 60 more patic its, are now vacant, in conse quence of the financial position of the charity not justi fying the governors re-opening them. ST. MICHAEL'S .MOUNT.—It is rutnoured among the different circles of society in the west of this county, that our most gracious and beloved Sovereign has offered 55,000/. for St. Michael's Mount, but that the sum asked is 75,0001.

Bellew, Bart., on being awarded a prize for the best drainage of a certain number of acres, said he de served no credit whatever on the occasion ; the merit was entirely due to his son, who, when the distress be came so prevalent in the country, resolved to abandon a tour which he was about to make through Greece and Turkey, in order to expend the money which his journey would have cost him in giving employment to a number of poor people in cerrying on this drainage.

CRICKET. CLARKE AND BUTLER V. HUNT AND BALDWINSON.-4 This was the return match between these parties, and as in the instance of the preceding contyst, terminated in favour of the Manchester player:. Indeed the two men of Nottingham did not stand ally chance thronglihnt. It was played on the ground of the Manchester Club, Moss-lane, about three miles Out or the town—the self same spot whereon the late England and Manchester match came off. The innings were as follows :-180 balls, 125 hits for 10 runs ; 117 balls, 74 hits for 12 runs. Manchester hence won by 66 runs. CHALLENGE TO Mn. A. MYNN.—Whibit this gentle man was playing his match with Mr. Felix, at Brumley, he received a challenge from Hunt, of .Manchester, to the effect that he would play him at single wicket fur 50t. a-side. Mynn, however, had previously determined not to play any more matches after that with Mr. Felix during the present year, and consequently forwarded a. reply to that effect, accompanied with an intimation, thaC next season he should . be willing to play him for any sum from 100/. to 5004 a-side. SURREY U. MIDDLESEX.—This match was played on Moulsey Hurst, a spot which muny years since, espe cially in the earlier part of Lord F: Be:owlet:les career-- , indeed, it was at this place that his Lordship maple his public ~ ..ricketing delnit—w as that whereon most of the county of Surrey conflicts were fought ; and conse quently, to those who lived in those days the present match was one of much interest. Surrey, as in days or yore, were the victors upon the first innings, and:when night put a close to the game, they had nine wickets to go down for eleven runs. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT WAUDDY.—We extremely regret to have to record this week ono of the moat extensive conflagrations of farm property which has taken place in the East Riding of Yorkshire for very many years. The, sufferer is Mr. James Watson, of Waudby, about ten miles to the west of Hull, and four east from South Cave, a gentleman who has long been known throughout England and on the Continent, for the superior character of his horned cattle and sheep. There appears to be not the slightest doubt that this great destruction of property is the work of an incen diary. Fourteen stacks, containing the whole of the wheat and hay, and nearly the . entire crops of an exten sive farm, were enveloped and surrounded by roar,ot flames. The large oat stack had been removed, 4rd tha further progress of the fire in that direction arrested. it was between three and four o'clock when the fire might be said to be thoroughly mastered, and the fear Of its further extension at an end, but twelve hours afterwards, thick columns of smoke were still ascending, and the re mainder of the hay stack occasionally burst out into flames, and that of the wheat was a dense mass of in tense red-hot fire, from which in places ineessant flames arose . It was affecting to look upon the destruction of so much valuable food for man and provender for cattle. The loss in money value is, we believ e , a b out 2,0004, but this is far f rom b eing the total mischief; --Leeds In. telligencen TRANSFER OF LICENSES. —ST. CLVMENT AND ST.

DOUBLE SUICIDE.—EXETER, SATURDAY. ---0011-. siderabie sensation has beets created in the vicinity of St. Mary °nary by a dreadful occurrence, by which the deaths of two unfortunate faetoiy girls were occasioned. On Friday week the deceased females, Mary Ann'Old. ridge and Jane Smith, were visited by a man of indifferent character, from whom Oldridge contrived to possess her self of half-a-crown to get some liquor with, and never returned ; the other deceased following her. The, ma n subsequently meeting with them, threatened to expose them to their employe r M r . N ew b ery, the silk factor, in Exeter, if they did not immediately return him his half crown. Not having sufficient to make up the recpti'red sum, the threat appeared to operate so powerfully upc -I their minds, that they went to the neighbouring chemist and purchased 3d. worth of arsenic, with which they re solved to destroy themselves They then returned to work at the factory, and on leaving at night went to a public-house kept by a person named Taylor, where they mixed the poison in some cider and drank it. Oldridge died in dreadful agony on Wednesday,. and Smith in twenty-lour hours utter. Yesterday an inquest was held on tho bodies of the unfortunate women before Mr. Aberdeen, the coroner, at the Red Lion Inn, Otters, when the jury, after several hours deliberation, returned a verdict of File de see. Both bodies were interred late last night in the parish churchyard. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY.--DEDFORD, OCT. 3. —During the past wee k t h e greatest exciteme-nt has pre vailed in this t own an d t h e adjacent district discovery of the body o f a young man, , wing to the o :tamed J. a fishmonger, and na ti ve of Bedford, in a retir. Li spot spot called Clapham" w oo d, th e throat being frightfraly cut, so as to sever the windpipe, with a contused wound over the left eye, apparently the effect of a blow with some heavy weapon. The body was in a crouchin under a larg e t ree, to wh i ch it had bee n attach e d b y a . g posture, handkerchief, the cor ner o f which was torn off, th e other end being tied to another 'handkerchief, which was around the neck of the deceased, and the folds of which were deeply embedded in the wound. Within a few yards of the spot a hat was picked up, and a knife stained with blued was found lying amongst the tinder wood. The body was readily identified, and informa tion having been given to Mr. E. Eagles, the county coroner, a respectable jury was impannelled to inquire into the circumstances. The Coroner, in summing up the evidence, adverted to the very suspicious circum stances of the case; and the jury, after a short con sultation, returned a verdict to the effect, " That the deceased Joseph Lilley was found dead in Clapham wood, with certain wounds, which the jurors itre of opi nion were inflicted by the deceased himself, when in an, unsound state of mind.' MR. FORREST.—This gentleman has returned to New York, where he is now playing a round of cha racters. The journals of that city describe the night of his first appearance, after his European tour, as being one of great excitement and enthusiasm —proving tho extent of the estimation in which his histrionic talents are held by his countrymen. FUNERAL OF TILE LATE W. T. D. TRENCHARD, ESQ.—The remains of the late William Trenchard Dillon Trenchard, Esq., of Lytchett House, in the county of Dorset, were consigned to the family vault in the parish church, on Thursday, the 24th Sept. The solemn pro cession left the family residence at twelve o'clock; in ad don to his own relatives he was followed by his numerous tenantry. His loss will be deeply felt by the poor of his neighbourhood. The deceased was the eldest son of the late Rev. H. Luke Dillon, formerly rector of Lytchett Matravers, grandson of the late Lady Augusta Dillo n , and was nearly, connected with the A ugusta families of Clanricarde and Clanbrook.

The, materials in the furnace were not more than five feet below the level of the charging plate. The blast was immediately drown off ; yet, notwithstanding every effOrt to save the unfortunate sufferer, not a fragment of the bey could be found. No person can state positively tow it occurred ; but it is generelly supposed that the basket must have caught in a portion of his clothes, tar in one of the leather handcuffs, and that the sudden con cussion caused by throwing the basket of the hit nac e , j er k ed him in. It is very remarble ho this family h as b een afflicted with accidents of ka a lamentw able description.
