LivEßrow., FRIDAY AFTERNOON.—After the Prince had for some time steamed on the Mersey yesterday, the cere mony of opening the Albeit Dock, which was one of the objects of the visit of his Royal Highness to Liverpool, took place. The most admirable arrangements had been made by the Dock Committee for the accommodation of the public, more especially the fairer portion of it, and for the avoidance of confusion. The ceremonial of opening the docks was simple in itself, but the scene around was extremely ani• mated and beautiful, from the vast number of spectators who were assembled in the available parts of the dock and in the warehouses around. At half•past two o'clock the bridge of the dock was opened, amidst the firing of cannon, and the floating cw lege, by the entrance of which the dock was in form to be opened, came in sight. Preceded by a Liverpool life-boat, manned, the state barge of the Victoria and Al bert and two gigs belonging to the Fairy, that elegant little vessel' her Self came steaming intO'the dock, bearing onboard the Prince and his suite. His Royal Highness bowed re peatedly from the quarter-deck to the acclamations of the people. Around him, besides his immediate suite, were Mr. J. B. Moore. the Chairman of the Dock Committee, the Mayor, Lord Sendon, Lord Morpeth, Colonel Sir T. Arbuth not, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Captain Bevis, and Major General Warre. The Fairy then steamed round the centre of the dock till she came to the place at which the Prince was to lend. The Chairman of the Dock Committee, the Mayor, and some members of the committee, received the Prince on his landing Mr. Jesse Hartley, the Dock Surveyor, from whose plans the docks and warehousees are chiefly built, was here introduced to the Prince, by whom he was complimented on the great results of his skill that were around. The Prince was then conducted up stairs, where a dijeune was to take place. The dock soon after presented a still more animating appearance, as other yachts belonging to the port entered; and at last came a large merchant vessel, the William Fisher, which had been appointed to be the first merchantman that was to enter the dock. No less than 250 sailors manned the yards, and it was calculated that there were 500 other persons on board. As the vessel slowly en tered the dock, the sailors cheering and the spectators an swering their cheers, she presented a very gallant sight. Soon after 3 o'clock the dejeune took place. The most ex cellent arrangements had been made to prevent all confusion. The Prince sat on the right of the Chairman of the Dock Committee, and the room was filled with ladies and gentle men, the elite of the commercial aristocracy of the place.•As soon as the dejeune was over, The CHAIRMAN rose and said—May it please your Royal Highness, Ladies and Gentlemen, by the gracious permis sion of his Royal Highness, I am privileged on this joyous occasion to propose the health of our Sovereign Lady the Queen.—(Applause.) In doing so. I trust the cheers which have been beard by his Royal Highness will reach her Ma jesty, and convey to her, through the medium of his Royal Highness, the resoect, the duty, and the loyalty of the people of Liverpool. I give you the health of her Majesty the Queen, and long may she continue to reign in the hearts of her people, as she now does, and in their affectionate regard and esteem. The toast was drunk with nine times nine and one cheer more. •-•— The CHAIRMAN soon after rose and said—Ladies and Gen- tlemen, .1 have now the honour to propose the health of our illustrious and distinguished guest, who has honoured us with his presence on this occasion. —(Much cheering.) It contrasts strongly with by-gone times, when we see the princes and nobles of the land assembled among the mer chants and the trading community of the country. The trading community has contributed largely to the greatness of this country. Every thing that goes from this remark able island to every part of the world is accompanied with the message of peace and goodwill to mankind at large.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) In every packet of merchandise that leaves our shores, there goes forth to the world the best of missionaries, because it is promoting that inter change and goodwill between different Rations which ought to prevail over all the earth.—(Hear.) It is the extension of our commercial relations alone that will put an end to the inhuman, the disgraceful traffic in human flesh. It is com mercial extension alone that will effect that object. There ,: fore I say, it was worthy of the condescension of his Royal ' Higlhness-to honour us with his presence on this occasion. I give you the health-of-his Royal Highness Prince Albert; and I trust that this, his first visit to the loyal town of Liver pool, may not be the last. The toast was drunk with the most rapturous applause. When the cheering had subsided, His ROYAL HictiNitss said—l trust I may be permitted to return you my best thanks for the kind way in which my health has been proposed and received. The recollection of the splendid sight I have witnessed to-day will never be effaced from my memory.—(Loud applause.) I beg to pro pose a toast, which I hope you will all heartily join in ; it is "‘ Prosperity to British commerce." His Royal Highness's brief address was received with ac- Clarnatilns. At half past four the Prince and suite and the chief guests left the table, and his Royal Highness was then conducted by the Ml.y , r round the dock, thence to see the South Cor poration School, to the Bluecoat Hospital, and finally to the magnificent pile of architecture, now nearly completed, and which will be used for the holding of the assize courts and other :similar purposes. The Prince then returned to his apartments. THE BANQUET. In the evening there was a grand banquet at the Town hall, given by the Mayor and Corporation. The prepara tions were all in the highest scale of splendour, such as be fitted the wealth of the place and the importance of the occa-ion. We have seldom seen more massive or beautiful plate of gold and silver, than that which was profusely spread on all the tables, especially that at which the chief guests were. The Prince entered the room, preceded by the Mayor, and accompanied by the principal guests, at about half-past eight o'clock. The Mayor presided. On his right sat his Roy al Highness Prince Albert; on his left, Standish Standish, Esq.,the High Sheriff. At the principal tables were also noticed the fol lowing guests :—Lord Morpeth, Lord Sandon, Earl Talbot, the Marquis of Abercoru, Lord G. Lennox,Viscount Ingestre, Lord W. Poulet, Lord A. Fitzclarence, the Right Hon. W.E. Gladstone, Sir H. Douglas, M.P., Lieutenant-General Sir T. Arbuthnot, K.C.8., Major-General Sir W. Warre, the Dean of Chester, the Recorder, the Rev. Rector Brooks, Mr. E. Cantwell, 1.P., Mr. W. Brown, M.P., Mr. T. Thornely, and Mr. G. E. Anson. The Vice-Chairmen were Sir T. Brancker, Mr. J. Aspinall, Mr. J. Aikin, Mr. G. H. Lawrence, Mr. J. S. Leigh, Mr. J. H. Turner, Mr. H. Hornby, Mr. J. B. Moore, Mr. W. Nicol, Mr. T. Sands, Mr. J. A. Tinne, Mr. B. S. Crook, and Mr. J. Lawrence. A. military band was stationed in one of the small ball rooms, and, during the banquet, played many favourite airs. The following ladies and gentlemen also formed an excellent glee party :—Miss May Swain, Miss Holden, Messrs. Ryalls, Gillow, Armstrong, Evans, J. St o tt, Boothby, Roberts, and George; Mr. G. Holden officiating at the piano-forte. The dinner lasted two hours, and after grace had been said by the Rev. Rector Brcoks, the dessert was laid on the table. At eleven o'clock, The INIAvon rose to propose the first toast—He said the health which he had the honour to propose was that of " Her Most Gracious Ilajesty the Queen.'—.(Applause.) That toast had always been responded to in the most loyal manner within those walls, but never was there an occasion upon which they were called on to express their feelings in a more loyal and grateful manner—called upon, as they were, to pay this tribute of %raftrig the presence of their illustrious guest, his Royal Highness, the beloved consort of the Queen, bound up, as he w s, with the destinies of this nation. He called on them to drink "The health of her Majesty the Queen, may God bless her." Drunk with three times three. (Enthusiastic cheers.)

The MAYOR rose again, and said—My Lords and Gentle men, iet us drink " The health of her Majesty the Queen Dowager." The Mayoa in a very short time rose again, and proposed " The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, our guest." Drunk with three times three cheers, and much enthusiasm. His ROYAL HIGHNESS, who was greeted with the loudest acclamations when he rose, said—l thank you for the kind manner in which you have received the toast. I am very glad to have this opportunity of expressing to you how sincerely gratified I feel at the wery kind reception you have given me in this town. It was always a cherished wish of mine to vist this seat of commerce, and all I have seen to-day has exceeded my anticipations. If my visit here will assist au object of charity, reflecting credit on your liberality, I shall be happy. lam glad to find you wishing to promote the comforts of those who, by their toil and labour, and by exposing themselves to many dangers, are contributing to that prosperity which I have this day seen.—(Tremendous applause.) 1 have now to propose to you, " Continued pros perity to the town of Liverpool."—(Drank with three times three, and cheers.) The Prince di livered this speech admirably, and in a man ner c lculated to convince his hearers that he sincerely felt what he uttered. The company immediately after broke up (at 25 'minutes to twelve), the Prince proceeding to the Judges' lodgings in St. Anne's-street. In t he evening there was a partial illumination of the town, and at a short distance out there was a grand display of tire works, which lasted for two hours, very much to the delight of crowds of holiday-making spectatorS. This morning the whole population were again in a high state of excitement, and on the move from an early hour. All the flags, festoons, and other decorations which had been put up for first welcoming of the Prince were retained, and all the shops were shut. All the inhabitants, of every grade, gentle and simple, were alike on the qui vice, the whole people seemed to be in the streets, and the houses, except the windows and balconies opening on the main streets, which were filled from an early hour in the morn hie with a gaily-dressed and expectant company, were almost deserted. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOI) RACES. THURSDAY (CONCLUDED). We qu, slion if a Goodwood Cup ever excited so little in terest amongst: sporting mut a the one carried off this after noon by Mr. O'Brien's Grimston. Speculation was on a very limited scale, the field was bad, and the result, although it added a few thousands to the large sum won by the same gentleman on the Goodwood Stakes, was so easily achieved, as to mace it one of the least exciing races of the day. It is fortunate, therefore, that the public did not attach much importance to the grade of the animals from whom their amusement was to be derived; suffilent for them that it was the *' Cup Day," and that the extraordinary fineness of the weather, and special trains at all hours, offered eve-y induce ment to enjoy it. That all the "extras" arrived in time we cannot say; certai. , , it is, however, that the assemblage on the course was immense; greater, in our opinion, if not so aristocratic, than has been seen at any previous meeti . ;g. "Ole Grand Stand would have been crammed had its capa cities been trebled ; lack of room drove hundreds to the FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WAR-OFFICE, JULY 31, 1846. .sth Regiment of Foot—Second Lieut.

The Prince was to lay the foundation-stone of the new building, the Sailor's Home ; and preliminary to that there was to be a monster procession of all the trades, societies, fraternities, and associations in the place, with all their flags, insignia, and bands of music ; and this was to be participated in by no less a person than Prince Albert himself, who was to accom pany it on its lengthy and tortuous route, through all the chief districts of the town, and so on to the intended site of the new building. For all these magnificent things there was good official guarantee—no less than that of a programme signed by the Mayor. Now it is-quite unnecessary to say that such an exhibition taking place in any provincial town, even in one so metropolitan as Liverpool, was quite enough to set the people wild with excitement, and draw the whole population into the streets. And so it proved. The place was probably never in such a state of excitement before ; and it is just to the inhabitants to say that the display they made has scarcely been surpassed on any previous occasion. The procession of trades was formed, according to the ar rangement previously ordered by the Mayor, soon after halt-past nine o'clock in the North Haymarket, in the follow ing order : Betting.-6 to 4 agst Emilia f.

The formation of a procession of between 7,000 and 8,000 people naturally took up some time, more than had been calculated by the authorities ; for they had appointed that it should call at the Judge's lodgings ateleven o'clock, at which place the Prince and his suite were to have joined it at that hour. But the extreme length of the procession so delayed its progress, that it did not reach that point till after twelve. The Prince, who it will be seen is placed in the programme on a level for importance with " the trowel," then joined the procession, which proceeded at a rate as rapid as possible down Norton-street, Seymour-street, Russell-street, Clarence street, Mount.pleasant, Oxford -street, Abercrombie-square, West-side, Bedford-street South, Falkner-street, Catherine street, Canning-street, Sandon-terrace, Rodney-street, Leech. street, Bold-street, Churchi-street, Lord street, and South John-street, to the site of the new building, opposite the Post-office.

It would be difficult to convey to the reader's mind any idea of the excitement produced thfoughout the length, and a - great portion of the breadth, of Liverpool, by this immense stream of people pouring through it. As a mere procession it had no feature distinguishing it from any ordinary assem blage of trades or temperance societies, with flags and banners and other insignia, except that it was on a larger scale. But the interest! felt in it by the spectators gave it an importance which otherkise it could not have possessed, and made a scene excessively animated and beautiful which would otherwise have been sufficiently dull and tedious, es pecially in the extreme heat that prevailed. The whole line of route of the procession (and it must have traversed a dis tance of four or five miles) was alive with human beings, the houses decorated with flags, and tl e windows filled with spectators. As each particular trade, or body, defiled past, they were saluted with cheers by those among the crowd who took any especial interest in them, and sometimes a rivalry was produced that was highly amusing. But the chief interest seemed to centre in the sailors. Whenever that rolling rollicking mass of dark blue was seen coming up, shouting, laughing, cheering, an infection seemed to be communicated to the spectators, and they cheered too, and the ladies waved their handkerchiefs, carried completely away by the enthusiasm of the moment. The Prince was received in the most enthusiastic manner throughout this long and somewhat tedious progress. At the site of the Sailors' Home a vast mass of persons had assembled from an early hour. The arrangements were ad mirably made, so that there was no confusion. No more tickets were issued than there was room to accommodate the bearers. A raised platform, capable of accommodating se veral hundred persons, commanded an excellent view of the open space below, in which the ceremonial was to take place; and the vast area which forms the site of the building was lined on all sides by visitors, chiefly ladies, who were accom modated with seats. But great inconvenience was expe rienced by all from the extreme heat, to suffer which they were condemned for a much longer time than necessary, in consequence of a regulation that no person should be ad- mitted after twelve o'clock. As the Prince did not arrive till long after three o'clock, a vast number of persons were exposed to unnecessary torture—for torture the intense heat in so exposed a place certainly produced. Several ladies were carried fainting from the platform long before the pro ceedings commenced. As soon as the Prince arrived he was conducted to the place at which the ceremony of laying the stone was to be performed. Here the ordinary preparations had been made, and the ordinary ceremony on such occasions was performed. The details must be reserved for another dispatch. In consequence of the delay occassioned by the length of the procession, the Prince was obliged to relinquish his in tention of partaking of a dejeuner at the Town-hall; and in stead of going back to St. Anne-street, he proceeded direct to the station, which he left by special train for London at four o'clock, where his arrival would precede that of this dispatch.

By I. Cohan. Although Beethoven had but one professional pupil, Ferdinand Rees, we have, in this extraordinary work, a proof that the great master's principle of composing, according to his own inspiration, without regard to the difficulty, or, if it should be, impossibility, which others might find in the execution of his work, is preserved in the school, by his favourite Ferdinand's pet pupil, Isaac Cohan. The spirit of genius pervades this Fantasia, but its popularity cannot fail to be a long while retarded by the unparalleled difficulty of the fingering. It is written in the key of 1). But the third strain of each V% aim, and some of the variations, are in B flat ; one strain of the variations in G flat, and another part in C. The Grand March—in itself a noble piece—is partly in D, partly in B flat, and partly in F. The Introduction (Allegretto) in D, con taining a variation on the first waltz, is not so difficult as the waltz itself, in which the rapid changes of octave in the first strain, render the piece exceedingly difficult. The enormous practice that 'would be neces sary to any person of moderate skill, in order to be per fect in the performance of this srraltz, would almost pro hibit one from attempting it, Although the first strain is the most difficult part of the waltz, the remaining part is of no ordinary intricrcy. The second waltz is more simple, practicable, and intelligible, and is therefore more satisfactory, not only to the player, but to the hearer. This is followed by a startling example of the skill of the composer ; containing the first waltz in the left, and the second in the right hand. Widely different as the waltzes are, the effect produced by the two together is very pleasing, and they are fitted to one another with the greatest nicety. It would appear almost incredible, but it is nevertheless a fact, that this part of the piece is so arranged as to be less difficult than the first waltz as arranged separately. It is followed by a series of brilliant variations, which, however, are almost ha practicable to any but professional musicians. Me " Grand March," which concludes the piece, is ver) brilliant and very lengthy ; it surpasses all the rest of the fantasia in difficulty, and would require something like legerdemain from the performer. On the whole, the work must be regarded as one of the " curiosities of music," and compels one to desire that, whilst the author preserves the excellencies of his school, he would indulge less in contempt of mechanical facility. PORT GLASGOW.—FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last week an accident of a very melancholy nature occurred here, by which Captain Duncan Ritchie, agent for the old Clyde Shipping Company, was deprived of life. It seems that, while some workmen were discharging cotton from a vessel in the harbour, he put his hand to the bales to facilitate their ascent from the hold, and just at that moment the rope gave way, and he was precipitated along with the cotton down the hatchway. When taken up, life was found to be extinct. He has left a widow and family to lament their premature bereavement —Glasgow Chronic.'e. A machine for dressing flax has been invented by a M.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of July 31.) SUGAR.—To-day importers of -West India Sugar gene rally refused to further reduce their prices, but there was only a limited business transacted, the quantity sold not ex ceeding 360 hhds, making the total sales for the week 1,200 hhds and tree, and the decline in prices Is to 2s per cwt. REFINED.—The refiners are still free sellers, and submitted to further reduced rates for every kind of goods, still the home .frade have purchased witch-reluctance,•e3pecially of the better qualities, taking only sufficient for the supply of their immediate wants. . EAST INDIA.—This afternoonlhe market was better sup plied with all descriprions of Bengal Sugar, three parcels, amounting to 5,769 bags, were submitted to public competi tion, and not above half sold, at a decline on the rates of the last auctions of Is to Is 6d per cwt. FORElGN.—lmporters of Sugar the produce of slave labour have displayed more firmness, and there has been a falling off in the quantity brought to •market, although the arrivals are again to a fair extent and the stock exceeding that of last year. Maimmus.—There has been very little desire manifested to operate privately in any description, and the small parcels disposed of were at prices in favour of buyers. MOLASSES.—Further parcels of West India have arrived, and there are sellers upon lower terms; still the business done has been extremely limited in all descriptions; the tendency of prices is still downwards. TEA. —Although there are sellers of Congou of all kinds upon previous low rates, still the trade operated with caution in all descriptions. For Pouchong prices do not improve, although the stock is small, and the demand good. There has been little desire manifested to operate in Twankay, although there are sellers upon easier terms. Of Gunpowder, the parcels disposed of were upon easier terms. Imperial has bees sparingly dealt in. There has been little passing in Scented Orange Pekoe. Hyson has been sparingly dealt in. Ocher kinds of Tea hdve met with a dull sale, and in most cases rather lower rates are taken. COFFEE.-Although there are sellers of West India upon further reduced terms, still there has been little business transacted, and none has been brought to public sale. Cocoa.—West India of low quality is little wanted, and there are sellers upon low terms, but the better kinds are in demand, and bring firm rates. RlCE.—Today Bengal Rice was much sought after; at public sale 3,624 bags '2,400 pkts were offered, and newly all sold at stiff rates, tine white bringing 16s, good 15s 6d to 16s, middling 15s to 15s Gd, low 14s 6d to 15s. SPICES.—To• day Cassia Lignea met with attention, and 100 boxes at auction sold at very full rates; 67 brls Jamaica Ginger only partly sold at 42s to 70s, and low 37s to 58s; 115 cases of cultivated Bengal sold at 28s to 325, inferior 21s to 265: 45 chests of Malabar fetched 27s to 28s for middling and good, and 25s 6d to 27s for damaged ; 10 chests of Mace sold at 3s to Ss 6d._ ... SPIRITS.—There has been much activity in the market for Jamaica Rum this week, and prices have further advanced 2d per gallon. Leeward Island has been much sought after, and further advanced rates are offered. Calcutta has been pur chased with increased freedom, and advanced rates are paid. In strong Demerara several purchases have been made, and prices have advanced. In Brandy little variation has taken place, but the market has a dull appearance. COCHINEAL.—For silvers the demand has improved, and in some cases stiffer rates have been obtained, but black has met with little attention, and prices have fallen Id to 2d , per lb. SALTPETRE.—To-day the market was better supplied with Rough ; 2,368 bags of Calcutta were submitted to public competition, but the whole sold, in consequence of rather lower rates being taken. OILS.—The demand has at length improved for Olive Oil, but any material advance in prices is prevented from taking place by the heavy stock. Linseed• Oil has been purchased with caution on the spot, but the crushers are unwilling fur ther to reduce their prices; for forward delivery few buyers. In Rape a good business has been transacted, but at the low rate of 29s to 30s for pale, and 28s to 28s 6d for brown.

Other kinds of Tallow have been only in limited demand, but at present little variation has taken place in the value. BANK OF ENGLAND.

A meeting of the subscribers to this undertaking, the Company having been disiolved on the 25th of April last, was called yesterday. to have an account laid before them of the affairs of the Company. Earl Charlemont was called upon to take the chair. The SECRETARY read the advertisement convening the meeting. The CHAIRMAN then said it was not his intention to detain the meeting at any length; had he risen to ad sicess them on the .prospects of the Company, and the public advantages likely to arise from the line on the fulfil ment of their intention, he would have done so in great elation of • spirit. Yet even now, though they had failed, not through misconduct of their directors, for they had exerted themselves to the utmost, but under circumstances and events which they could not control, lie addressed them by no means under depression of spirit; for nothing had been neglected which could have advanced the interests of the Company, there was no chicane in the con cern, nothing to conceal. A report would be read fully de tailing the particulars, and a minute statement of the ac counts submitted to the shareholders. Mr. Ootx, the solicitor of• the Company, then read the report of the directors, history which detailed the of the undertaking. It stated that the capital of the Company was proposed to be 400,0001., that 13,095 shares had•been allotted, and 6,555 paid upon, producing 16,387/..105. ; that the directors, considering the small amount of capital compared with the estimated cost of the line, and looking to the deposits to be paid into the Accountant-General, were inclined, on the 2d of December last, to stop . proceedings before serving the notices; that this intention of their's being known in Ireland was deprecated _generally by the shareholders there, in consequence of which the - directors determined to proceed, encouraged as they were to do this by the hope that Irish lines would meet with facilities in the Commons, and that the standing orders of the House of Lords would be relaxed in their favour; that an nne,xpectee turn in the money market afterwards produced an almost universal desire on the part of the shareholders themselves that the Bill should be withdrawn, which the directors ac cordingly did, and dissolved the Company on the 25th April. A statement of the accounts laid before the meeting showed receipts amounting to 16,3981. 3s. 9d., from was deducted, for disbursements already made, ,754 which 4 P ie. 9d., leaving awbailcahncehase been givenof , ll,643l. 118. in to s.tomeet theou mtstaaiidoiunngto f ac counts, which 10,3201. 7s. Id., from which, however, the directors Lope to be able to make considerable reductions. Mr. PARSONS wished to know why the directors had proceeded at all with a capital so far short of 400,0001. Mr. OGLE said the directors were urged on by the share. holders themselves, as the report had stated ; and the directors were induced by the expectation of meeting with facilities of which they were disappointed in Parliament. The engineer besides found that by making a single line the ends of the public might be attained and the undertaking finished at a small cost. Sir. PARSONS asked whether there had been any reserve cf . shares for the directors. The CHAIRMAN—No, not one. Mr. FORBES, in answer to a shareholder, said that the directors had generally paid upon their shares, but five of them, three Irishmen and two Englishmen, had not paid up. These parties had been written to, and would be again, and the directors were in hope they would pay without recourse baying been had to harsh measures. Each director had taken about twenty shares each. Mr. CLARK moved that the report read be received and ap proved of. Mr. PARSONS seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Alr:'(.7a4,r, after some able observations on the merits of the line, and. the attention of the directors to the interests Of the shareholders, added his hope that on a change in the money market the undertaking might yet be carried out, and concluded with a motion to that effect. The NOBLE CHAIRMAN, before putting the motion, adverted to the observations with which the motion had been intro duced, and expressed his hope that so good a line would yet be carried out,-..-that he, at least, would be read/ t 9 *l4 mi person and in purse. azotiou was carried nem con. 4•00 , • •- '''• 6,925 Mr. PARSONS moved, and Mr. L t katfAn , seconded, that the the accounts received be returned to t 'he directors, and that they be empowered to liquidate the same, after every possible reduction, and to return the surplus to' the shareholders in. the proportion of their shares. The motion passed nem. con. The Earl of CHARLEMONT having left the c . hair, Mr. FORBES moved a vote of thanks to Ear) Charlemont for his dignified conduct in the chair, and his im,vearied zeal in the interests of the Company. This motion having been seconded, was put by :er.ord CLAUDE HAMILTON, who had taken the chair, and carried' by - the meeting unanimously. The Earl of MARCHMONT acknowledged the honour, at d again expressed his hope that the line would yet be takek 1 up and completed. The meeting then adjourned. DISCLOSURE OF TWO MURDERS XT BARNARD CASTLE. In the early part of August, 18-A5, a young man named Yates, a tailor, and a girl with whom , he was acquainted, of the name of Raine, were missed, and no tidings could be heard of either of them until nearly a Ortnight after, when' the body of Yates was found at the brink' of the river Tees, a few miles below Barnard Castle. There ,were, we believe, some marks of violence about his head, a, - td his pockets were empty Of money, but at the inquest no' elniminating evidence could be obtained ; and a few days il.t4),",the in quest the body of the young woman was fourre in the river also, but several miles further down ; and it th ”Pears that on the night when they came to their unix I PPY deaths the river was much flooded, and when so its cox. . me is rapid. Some few weeks ago there were some rumen. " 8 , afloat charging upon three young men the murders tf these persoffs,lout these soon subsided, unil Monday morn ing last, when a young female, twenty-one or twenty-two years of age, named Humphrey, went to a constable to ease her mind, and ste subsequently has made such statements to the rural police-officer as to lay a charge of murder upon three young men, named Breacon, Raine, and Berke. Two of them, Breacon and Barker, are now in prison, the former on another charge. It is publicly stated that Yates had altered a coat fur Barker, and while doing so he had found the name of the owner therein," Captain Bainbridge," of Cotherstone, at whose house, in the absence of Captain Bainbridge, a seizure had been made, which led to a trial at York about a year ago, and at that seizure Barker had acted as under-bailiff, when this coat was missed from the premises. This statement seems to point out at least one cause leading to the crimes'against Yates and his sweetheart, and we be lieve the following to be the substance of the girl Hum phrey's confession on Monday last. That on the ni ht of the 9th of August the man Yates and the young womatt Raine were together, near the passage where Humphrey li'ved in Bridgegate, and she was conversing with them when the saw Brecon, Barker, and Raine; standing together, who drew m'at' , and ultimately they all went for a walk as far as the bridg: It was then very dark and wet. The rapid flow of the Tees caused more than usual noise, and the time was after mid night. The whole party lett the bridge, proceeding down the Yorkshire side of the river to the end of the tram road, about 130 yards from any dwelling on that side of the water. Some of the party questioned Yates about his money, and Barker asked 'Yates if he was going to appear against him at York on account of the coat before spoken of, and he an swered in the affirmative. Barker then struck him several times—where, the girl Humphrey does not know, as it was dark ; but she heard him say Don't knock my eyes out," or something to that effect, and after that the three young men all beat Yates and took his money from him ; they then lifted him off his feet and threw him over the low tram wall into the deep pool below. Humphrey was horrified, but the young woman Raine began to shout, and said she wnald tell the police. She made her way towards the bridge isr com pany with the party, still declaring that she would tell, and when they came to the recess on the bridge they seized Was the girls, threatening to throw them over it they told.- Raine still declared that she would tell the police, when in a few seconds they threw her into the foaming stream below, and then made Humphrey swear that she woijld not tell what had passed, telling her now that she had sworn, if she told, God would strike her dead. She was then allowed to go. Since that time such has been her misery that she could no longer bear it, and on Monday last she made her dis. closure. Yates was a young man of low stature, and slender, while the accused young men are tall and strong. 13reac.4):(1 , and Barker, as we have said, are in custody, but Raine, one of those charged with having committed the crime, has not yet been secured.—Sunderland Herald. FATAL ACCIDENT AT HOLKHAM. On the afternoon of Wednesday last, the town of Wells and its immediate neighbourhood was thrown into a state of much excitement and alarm, by a report that Lord Lei cester had been accidentally drowned near the beach at Holkham. Numbers immediately hastened to the scene of the accident. It appears that in the course of the afternoon his Lordship, accompanied by Mr. F. Astley, brother of Lord Hastings, the Hon. Wenman Coke, and Mr. George Hill, went out to the sea-side for the amusement of " draught sea" fishing. They were attended by several of his Lordship's servants, and a fisherman accustomed to the beach. In approaching the sea from Holkham, the party had to pass through a narrow channel, in which, at that time, the water was not above a foot deep, but after 'fishing for about a couple of hours, on their return the water had considerably accumulated, and the tide coining in fast nhey , suddenly found themselves in imminent. danger. Lord Leicester and Mr. F. Astley, and the rest of the party, immediately dashed through the channel; but J. Foster, a servant of Mr. Astley's, hesitated. Alarmed at his situation, Lord Leicester called out earnestly, and directed him as to the way of escape; but, mistaking his direction, the poor fellow speedily got out of his depth, and found it impossible to extricate himself. Mr. Astley, knowing his inability to swim, immediately rushed to his rescue—swim ming about. thirty yards to reach him ; but his strength being nearly spent in the struggle, Mr. Astley speedily found himself unable to save him. At this moment both were in the utmost peril, Foster having seized him by the throat, and impeded his efforts to assist him. Lord Leicester seeing Their situation, without a moment's hesitation, heroically cizstermined to risk his own safety for their rescue, and instantly t.`. rowing himself in, swam to the spot, resolved to use his utmost exertions to save both. Mr. Astley havnij succeeded in breakin g Foster's hold of him, assisted by hi s I,, , rdship, each taking him by an arm, they succeeded in getting him ashore, but in the struggle life was nearly extinct. Suc:2 was the great exertion re quired, and the consequence of tiLe excitement and alarm of the occasion, that, on reaching the core, his Lordohip fell from faintness and exhaustion. The body - of the servai.'t was immediately conveyed to the Victoria Inn, iiolkham, bers having arrived at the spot, who, by this time, had heaTa of the accident. We regret to add, that although every effort was made by way of restoratives for the resuscitation of the servant, the vital spark had for ever fled. On Thursday a Coroner's inquest was held on the body. Verdict, " Acci dentally drowned." Mr. F. Astley was sufficiently restored to return home last night; and his Lordship is now perfectly recovered. Ti..e heroic conduct and generosity of his Lordship are the subject of universal admiration. cBILETIETZK.O.HF.eUrTe:ret z t i ( '- i f i -^..., a;: : o t i o ii.".. r L ecor l i on t E he nT dea W th m o - f another Peninsular and Waterloo veteran, I.airtdenante ss. but Colo nelre- tired Robert Winchester, late of the! 92dilligleasiadnen-cein e tired on full pay, which took n:.

MEETING OF THE LONDON DISTRICT YOST LETTER" Clitinens.—Late yesterday (Friday) evening, a meetinr z , of this body was held at the Pit-A Horse, Chiswell.street, for the purpose of taking into consideration their present condition. Mr. Mannicomb, on being elec:fd to the chair, observed that as one of the deputation, he had waited upon Mr. Saltwell, by . whom they were told that the alterations now in progress in the General Post-office would not at all affect the district post department. He (the Chairman) was, therefore, of opinion that some steps should be imme diately taken to memorialise the Postmaster-General on the subject. The draft of a memorial was then read to the meeting, praying for the allowance of " a wages proportioned to their respective daily dutise c : le it g r t i h s e ing th a th cco u ri! e p in o g rt o to f t Y h e e a rs e oomf m se is rv si i o e n e e , r a s s of rec l o n i qu nm ir e y n . d , ed on i n s of the reasons urged for such a measure was, that it would "go far in doing away with that jealousy that does and ever has existed between the two departments, and make them work with that unanimity so essential to the service and interests of the public." Mr. Elwood pro posed that a committee be appointed to draw up a memorial on the foundation of the one which had been read. In moving the proposition he described most forcibly the evils which arose from the existing practice of receiving Christ mas gratuities from the public. This he described as a beg garly system, degrading to the feelings of public officers and respectable men, and the source of dishonest practices be tween fellow-servants, frequently leading to disputes and serious misunderstandings. This proposition having been seconded by . Mr. Church, a discussion arose with reference to the injustice of the present system of making out the.
