On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS, (An Essay for 1846.) "Of human ills and frailties I discourse, Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd. Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen, Which young and gentle, the matured and sage. The lonely and the mated—all sustain. In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID With Diet Tables for all Complaints. Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein container: the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although hearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ou rse l ves, we secure the la e advantages on our offspring to a w n i d th tin d a eg ll e y n b e y ra t t l e ie h c e t a il l t t i i v i, a t t h io e n m p i f nd ou a r s f w ac e u ll lt a ie s s t , in consistenthwehbiodchyismay bel follow, of The God exalted to the sum m it of perfection, as best becomes the highest a'suctrheoar'tis justification ons, for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings,accredited qualifications study and the avowal of their i topics broached involve his legitimate ri a :o id se p , u m rs u u s i t t. be measured qualifications guarantee that the To be had of Sherwood, Fleet-street; Hannay, 63, Oxford. street. ; Carvalho, 147, or • street • Mann, 39, Cornhill • or e n direct from the Author, 10, Argyl e - place, 'R g et (leading ' to Great Marlborough-street), who m a y be advisede t - str e personallythese matters on matters daily till Three, and in the Evening s fr om Seven till Nine.

We have New York papers of the 16th by the packet-ship Fidelia, Captain Hackstaff. These papers, though nominally a day later, contain but little, as the papers of the 15th, made up for the steamer, bring the news down to a later hour than on ordinary days of publication. We have, however, one full day's later news from Washington. . _ The Senate was occupied with the Tariff Bill, but no division had been come to; it seems most probable, however, that it will pass with some few alterations. Mr. Webster is most energetic in his opposition to the Bill, and had pre sented a memorial from the copper manufacturers against it, but was unsuccessful on a division in endeavouring to get the petitioners a hearing. This looks favourable for the Bill The Warehouse Bill had passed by a vote of 31 to 20. It was expected that a vote would be taken on the merits of the new Tariff Bill in the course of a day or two. On the 15th the House of Representatives passed the Treasury Note Bill by a vote of 108 to 47, and were engaged in discussing the sum required for payment of volunteers, but no division was come to. The Washington Union, of the 14th, publishes the follow ing relative to the finances of the United States : " The following interesting document was this day trans mitted to the Senate of the United States, by the Secretary of the Treasury : " Treasury Department, July 13, 1846. " Sir,—herewith is respectfully submitted an answer to so much of the resolution of the Senate, of the 29th of June last, as requires a statement of the revenue received from the customs for the three first quarters of the present year, and the amount expected from that source for the fourth quarter. "It will be perceived that, whilst in the first quarter of the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 1846, there was a loss of 2,011,785 dolls. 90c., as compared with the cor responding quarter of the precding year; and whilst the revenue received during the two months of the succeeding quarter, to the date of my annual report of December last, very ne arly corresponded with the amount received during the same period of the same quarter of the preceding year, the amount received during the tl% o fait quarters cf the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 184 G, exceeded that received during the two corresponding quarters of the preceding year 1,040,000 dolls. "That is, whilst during the first five months of the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 1846, which had elapsed at the date of my annual report of December last, there was a diminution of the revenue from customs, as compared with the first five months of the preceding fiscal year, of nearly two millions of dollars ; yet, in the seven last months of the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 1846, there was an increase of the revenue, compared with the corresponding seven months of the preceding year, of about 140,000 dollars; thus raising the aggregate revenue of the year ending the 30th June, 1846, to 26,681,915 dollars, 42 cents. Whereas, if the decrease of revenue for the last seven months of that year had corresponded in the same ratio the first five months, it would have reduced the revenue for the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 1846, to about 23,500,000 dollars, instead of 24,500,000 dollars, as estimated by this department in December last. " The receipts from customs for the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 1845, and for the first three quarters of the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June, 1846, are given from the official returns for money actually paid into the treasury. " The official returns for money actually paid into the treasury for the last quarter of the fiscal year ending on the 30th June, 1846, are not quite fully completed, but can vary only a very small sum from the amount given in the estimate of 6,270,000 dollars. "It will be perceived that the receipts into the treasury from customs for the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June, 1846, are less than the receipts for the fiscal year preceding, by the sum of 84,619,728 dollars. " The remainder of the information called for is in the course of preparation, and will in a few days be communi• cated to the Senate. " Most respectfully, your obedient servant, " R. J.

" Army of Occupation, June 24, 1846. " Some volunteers have arrived at Brazos Santiago from Tennessee, presumed to be of the twelvemonth's quota. The volunteers which previously arrived from New Orleans have nearly all moved to Barita, except two regiments in this place. I shall bring them up the river as soon as I can pro cure transportation. The volunteers from Texas are en camped near Point Isabel, and are now organising under the direction of the Governor. " We have no authentic intelligence from the interior of Mexico. The army at Livarez is believed to be moving to wards Monterey, much reduced in numbers by desertion and sickness. It is rumoured that 13ustamente is at the head of the Government, and that Paredes is advancing with a large force to this frontier." The following is from a private letter : (Correspondence of the Newark Daily Advertiser.) Camp United States Army, Matamoras, June 27. " The enemy is gathering in force at Monterey, which hey are rapidly fortifying. We expect to march against them in a few weeks ; the result is in the hands of the God of battles. The 7th Infantry left to-day per steamer Nerva, ; o t f h C e a fi m rs a t r r is already at Reynoso, g egiment 0, a place about one hundred sixty miles above us, which they to o k without the slightest opposition. " Several steamers are now running on the Rio Grande. milesto ta k uepthe possession riv er " The Mexican Government had issued a decree, dated June 6th, declaring all goods shipped into Mexico by way of Matamoras, previous and since its occupation by the Ame rican army, confiscated and liable to seizure." The Great Britain and the Cambria steamers will both be due in Liverpool on Thursday next, and are anxiously awaited. FREE FLOC4GING AND SLAVE FLOGGING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stu,—l have frequently heard the English people speak in the strongest terms of reprobation of our system of flogging slaves in America, describing it brutish and horrible beyond measure, and degrading to any nation professing to be Christian. Allow me to ask you how it is that the sensitive people of England are so silent after one of their own nation has been cut bit from bit, and killed by this horrid, but, allow me to say, thoroughly English system of punishment. I have since my residence in England heard your clergy almost execrate us for what they suffer to go on in their own country with impunity—nay, never even raise their voices against it. As far as profession of religion goes, you, have ten times over what we have in my country, but, I must say, I think far less practice. I know not whether you are aware of it, but we have no such bloody work in our army now. I know of no nation who so soon see the mote in a brother's eye as yours ; and, as men professing Chris tianity to so great an extent, I tell them to wipe out this blot in their own land before they talk to us about flogging slaves.—l am, Sir, &c., AN AMERICAN.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS, The Provisional Directors have regretted their inability to make an earlier announcement to the Shareholders of the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr companies, but they found it impossible in the first instance during the buiy season of the session of Parliament to get in the accobnts, and when the accounts were received, it be came necessary not only to investigate them, but to negotiate for a reduction of their amounts—the arrangements into which these Companies had entered with other companies also rendered further negotiations necessary, and it was, moreover, obviously impractic able to suggest any plan for future operations until it should be as certained which of the various lines projected in the district would be ultimately sanctioned by Parliament. The result of the present session has been, that the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, and the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway are the only Roes sanctioned by Parliament, connected with the Welsh Midland District. These lines complete an unbroken railway route from Newport, on the Bristol Channel, to Birkenhead and Liverpool. The various other lines, which competed for this occupation of South Wales, have all been rejected. The Directors have the satisfaction to state that they have, by agreement, secured an interest to the extent of one-third of the capital in the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway ; this interest is equal to 9,000 shares of 251. with 21. 108. paid, which will be apportioned amongst the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr Shareholders in proportion to their interest in those undertakings. Other negotiations are in progress which may issue in securing some further advantages. If such should be the case, the directors will immediately give a further option to the shareholders, but they do not think it right to delay this announcement. . The Parliamentary struggle has closed too recently to allow ar rangements to be perfected between the several companies interested in railway accommodation to South Wales. There can be no doubt but that the interests of the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford, and of the Shrewsbury and Hereford lines will lead them to promote an Extension from Hereford to Swansea; whilst the London and Birmingham and Midland Companies will equally desire the same communication, extending the narrow gauge in connexion with their trunk lines. Before, however, entering Into any binding engagements, or incur ring any expense for promoting In the next session a line from Here ford to Swansea, the Directors considered it due to the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr Shareholders, to give to every one the option of withdrawing, before they transferred his interest into the new Company. . . In ascertaining the amount of expenses incurred by the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr Companies, many accounts are still unavoidably under negociation. The Directors can only at pre sent return 15s. per share on the Welsh Midland, and 7s. 6d. per Share on the Brecon and Merthyr, and will not be able, until the un settled accounts are disposed of, to ascertain the further balance to he divided ; they are, however, assiduously devoting themselves to this work, so as to wind up the affairs with the utmost dispatch and economy. _ _ _ To enable the Shareholders freely to exercise their opposition, the Welsh Midland Company and the Brecon and Merthyr Company, have been duly dissolved under the powers of dissolution contained in the Subscribers' agreements, and the Directors request before the Ist of September to be put in possession of the wishes of each Share holder on the following options : lst.—To exchange one Welsh Midland, or two Brecon and Mer thyr shares, for one Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway share upon which 21. 10s. has been paid, to the extent of his propor tion, being credited ss. beyond the 21. 10s. towards the future calls. 2d.—To transfer the remaining shares into a new Company far promoting a line from Hereford to Swansea. 3d.—To receive back the 15s. per share on each Welsh Midland, and 7s. Gd. per share ou each Brecon and Merthyr share, with such further sum as may hereafter accrue. Each Shareholder is requested to fill up and return the subjoined circular, accompanied by his Scrip, and a receipt for such Scrip will be forwarded to him in course of post. 3iily order, THOMAS PRITCHARD, Secretary of the Welsh Midland Railway. JOHN TAYLOR, Secretary to the Brecon and Merthyr Railway. To the Secretary of the Welsh Midland, or Brecon and Merthyr Railway Companies. I, being a holder of shares in the Welsh Midland, or Brecon and Merthyr Railway Companies, beg to enclose you my Scrip for the same and to notify -Ist—That I wish to take shares (or any greater number to which I may be rateably entitled), in the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford stock, on the terms of exchanging one Welsh Midland share, or two Brecon and Merthyr shares for one such Newport and Hereford; and I hereby undertake to sign the deeds of that Company, and to register as a shareholder thereof. 2d.—That I wish to transfer my remaining shares in the Welsh Midland and Brecon and ➢ierthyr Companies into the new Company for promoting a Railway from llereford to Swansea. 3d.

This regatta yesterday amongst landsmen, in four-oared cutters, was unfortunately put an end to by a very lament.. able occurrence. The competitors in the first heat had rowed, and the three boats engaged in the second were in the heat of the race, when, in rounding at Southwark-bridge, blue, manned by Peacock, J. Hawkins, K. Morris, IL Rol.. loway, and J. Adams, to uc h e d another boat in advance of them, and went athwart one of the piers of the bridge. The boat immediately upset, and the whole party were immersed in the water. Every assistance was immediately afforded, and four of the rowers were rescued, but Hawkins met watery grave. The managers immediately stopped the race, and discharged the band of musicians, and it was ar. ranged, with one accord, that the whole of the money which had been subseribed to be rowed for should be given to the widow of the unfortunate deceased, who has two young children, and bears strong indications of being encitnte. The lamentable occurrence created a very considerable Beneath:Ml in the neighbourhood. LAMBETH REGATTA.

She has left three children to deplore their loss.

THE GREENWICH FLOATING PIER.--The deputation appointed at the borough meeting of Greenwich to present a remon strance to the Lord Mayor against the forcible removal of the float ing pier at Garden-stairs, waited on his Lordship yesterday at the Mansion-house, and was most courteously received. After the re monstrance had been read, his Lordship declared his determined re solution to remove every floating pier on the river within his Juris diction. The deputation, having thanked his Lordship, withdrew. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT OPPOSITE ST. CLEMENT'S Cntracn.—Last evening, between the hours of seven and eight, an accident of a most frightful character, which had well nigh involved the lives of several individuals, besides being attended with very serious consequences to Thomas Ansley, a waterman, occurred in the Strand, just opposite St. Clement's Church. It appears that at the time spoken of the unfortunate man Ansley, who is at the advanced age of 62, and has been for many years engaged at the Arundel stairs as waterman, was coming out of Arundel-street, and just in the act of crossing the Straad, when a carrier's cart came up at a moderate pace, until within a few yards. There were several other persons in the road at the time, endeavouring to obtain the opposite footpath as well as Ansley, but owing to the rapid movement of the horse, it having taken fright, before they could get out of the way some of them were knocked down, the wheels passing over the body of the old man, who was picked up in an insensible state. The blood flowed copiously from his face from the kicks of the horse. He was removed to the King's College Hospital, and placed under the care of Mr. Smith, the house surgeon, who ascertained that he had sustained, independent of a fractured thigh, several broken ribs and a severe laceration of the scalp and other extensive injuries, so as to render his recovery quite hopeless. We are happy to state that the other parties escaped unhurt, beyond a few slight bruises. ORIGIN OF THE WORD lIIIMBUG.—It is not generally known that this word, presently so much in vogue, is of Scottish origin. There was in olden time a race, now extinct, called Bogue or Boag of that Ilk, in Berwickshire. A daughter of this family married a son of Hume or Home, also of that Ilk. In process of time, by default of male issue, the Bogue property devolved on one Geordie Home or Hume, who was popularly styled Hume or Home o' the Bog. This worthy was somewhat inclined to the marvellous, and had a vast inclination to exalt himself, his wife, family, brother, and all his ancestors en both sides. His tales, however, did not pass current, and at last, when any one made any very extraordinary statement in the Meares, the hearers would shrug up their shoulders and style it "just a Hum o' the Bog." aids was soon shortened into Humebug, and in a few years the word spread like wildfire over the whole kingdom.—Scofsman. NOVEL INCUBATION. —A few days ago, as some of the servants of Mr. John Mounsey, of Askham, were mowing grass, one of them accidentally cut off the head of a partridge when sitting upon the nest. Mr. Thomas Mounsey, who happened to be present at the time, immediately collected the eggs (fifteen in number) and took them home. After wrapping them in warm flannels he placed them in a recess under a closet, near to which was a flue to a boiler, and the following day had the satisfaction to find that thirteen of the eggs had produced fine strong birds. He forthwith took his young charge to Mr. Robert Harrison, of Askham Dail, principal gamekeeper to the Earl of Lansdale, when they were delivered over to the maternal care of a bantam hen, which had before hatched and reared a hide of white pheasants. Twelve of the thirteen young partridges are still alive and likely to do well. What is still more singular, since that time Mr. Mounsey has succeeded by the same process in hatching seven eggs from a nest which had been exposed to the air nearly a whole day, the old bird being accidentally killed by Mr. Henderson's mowers. AMERICAN BEEF AND PORK.—An application has re cently been made requesting that the revenue authorities would permit the partial landing and examination only of beef and pork, imported duty free, from the United States, and the remainder put over the ship's side into craft, or otherwise disposed of as the owner thinks fit, for delivery to his wharf or warehouse, the same being intended for immediate reshipment ',in outward-bound vessels, and the request has been granted, on conditions that one package in five be landed, in order that an average net weight for official purposes may be obtained. THE CYDER SEASON. —The failure of the apple crop in Herefordshire has led to a great increase in the price of cider, the supply of which, in the present Season, is expected to be very limited. LITERATURE. SCIENTIFIC AND LITERARY TREASURY. By Samuel Maunder. Foul th Edition. What a terrestrial globe is to a multitude of maps this little book is to an ordinary library. It is the accumu lation and condensation of knowledge upon almost every subject; and it offers in a compact and portable form as much of real instruction as is usually scattered through many hundred volumes. Mr. Maunders has with no little ingenuity selected the very cream of all the encyclopedias that have ever been published, and pre sented it to us in a book, six inches by four in dimen sions, two inches in thickness, and in weight a very few ounces--avordup ois. It is a volume to be carried in one's valise uprin a journey, and would answer all the purposes of a library of reference. The gentleman who has compiled this remarkable work has shown himself gifted with the keenest appreciation of what is really 'worthy of mention and what is altogether superfluous. He has stripped off the redundant husk, and has even broken away the shell ; his book is certainly the very kernel and pith of knowledge. Although the type is somewhat diminitive, it is so sharply and clearly printed that the sight is not in convenienced by the perusal. Mr. Maunder has con ferred a benefit upon his fellow-creatures ; his work is the vade mecum of literature and science. COURT CIRCULAR.

His Excellency Mr. M‘Lane, tha American Minister, having obtained permission to retire from the post he now occupies, after the adjustment of the Oregon ques tion, is making his arrangements to embark for the United States in the course of the present month. Baron de Cetto, the Bavarian Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. Mr. Wickham, Chairman of the Stamps and Taxes, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-street. A deputation of the Commissioners of Paving for the united parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, had an interview with Lord Morpeth yes terday, at the office of the Woods and Forests, in White hall-place. The deputation consisted of Mr. Taylor, Dr. White, Mr. Purday, Mr. Beard, Mr. Milne, and Mr. Pearson, and was attended by Mr. Pugh, the clerk, and Mr. Lovick, the surveyor of the Commissioners. The Earl of Radnor had an interview with the Earl of Clarendon yesterday, at the office of the Board of Trade. The Chairman of the Customs bad an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Higham, Secre tary and Comptroller-General to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, had also an.inter view with the Right Hon. Gentleman. The Right lion. J. T.

The Marquis of Lansdowne returned to town yester day, from his seat, Bowood Park, Wilts.: SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. NEAPOLITAN FETE. Mr. Tyler has been inspired by the happy idea of making the present decorations of the garden, repre senting the City and Bay of Naples and Mount Vesu vius, subservient to the giving a grand Neapolitan fete, which is to last three days, of which yesterday was the first. The gardens have been fitted up with tents and temporary buildings, so as to present a fac simile of the public pleasure-gardens of Italy. The attendants are attired in Neapolitan costume, and the clearness of the sky and brilliancy of the sun, added yesterday to the illu sion, so that it required but a small stretch of the imagination, after entering the gardens, to imagine one's-self in the " sweet south, ' " the Paradise of Exile's Italy." The gardens were opened at two o'clock ; and from that time until ten at night there was one con tinued succession of amusements. There were the bands of the Coldstream and the Horse Guards Blue, the Royal Artillery, and Lewis's brass band, forming a moa.ter orchestra of upwards of 100 performers ; who, amongst other pieces, performed the National Anthem, with a salute of 21 guns by way of bass. There was the Nea politan bazaar, thronged all day with purchasers; and there was as encampment of gypsies, to which hied all those inclined to have a peep into futurity ; and they were many. Then there were the Distins with the Sax Horns; the Brothers Candler, whose graceful performances sur pass even those of the Risleys ; Madame Hicken, and the Messrs. Ryan on the tight rope, Bradbury on the corde volante, and Mon. and Mille. Fontaine, who danced the Tarantulla with true Neapolitan gusto. Then, too, there was Herr Charles Kist, the modern Hercules, who took a flight in the sails of a windmill—the least pleasing part of the performance, and one which, we trust, will not be repeated, as it is attended with considerable danger. He made three flights round on the sail, but the third flight was nearly off the sails—he fell and hung by his feet. There were numerous assistants ready at hand, ladders were put up, and fortunately he was released from his perilous situation without injury but the experiment is so dangerous, that we hope Mr. Tyler will not permit it to be repeated ; more especially as the other attractions are so numerous, and so excellent, that the omission of the windmill will not deprive the Gardens of a single visitor. Mr. Godfrey's band were in attendance as usual, and the fireworks were as brilliant as ever. The gardens were crowded from the time of the opening of the doors, and whoever wishes to spend a long and pleasant day alfresco, should go to the Neapolitan Carnival at the Surrey Gardens. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. The few St. Leger bets made yesterday have enabled ns to fix the prices of all the horses that have recently appeared in the quotations from the corner; the investments, how ever, were generally in small amounts, the two favourites, Fancy Boy and Brocardo, who were backed for two or three hundred each, being the only exception. The closing averages stood as follows : 5 to 1 agst Mr. Gully's Pyrrhus the First—taken 11 to 2 agst Mr. W.

PEDESTRIANISM. RACES AT WALWORTH.—The handicap race, open to all England, to leap 12 hurdles in 440 yards, came off yesterday at the Beehive ground, in heats. For the first, John Smith came in No. I, Charles Westhall 2, and George Martin 3; the other competitors, Nutt, of Leicester, and Williams, no where. For the second heat, which proved the final one, John Smith and George Martin alone started. It was a pretty race ; the first, second, and third hurdles were taken almost together; at the fourth and fifth Smith had a trifling lead, but at the seventh and eighth, Martin not only col lared him, but showed slightly in front; he did not, however, retain his forward position, and the following hurdles were gained by Smith before his light and youthful antagonist, who resigned so soon as they came into the level running. Mine host of the White Hart was consequently the winner of the gold watch, value 20/. THE QUARTER OF A MILE RACE.—For this prize, the men being handicapped, Charles Westhall started from the scratch, Brookson, having five yards' start, and Martin and Warwick ten yard! each. The result was that Westhall was first at the winning-post by three yards (Brookson having fallen), and Martin showed as second, Warwick being a bad third. THE MILE RACE.—This prize, a silver snuff-box, was con tested by a complete crowd of pedestrians. Of these we shall ottty notice those who are known to the public. Brookson, Warwick, Nutt, and Makepeace started from the scratch, while a mob of eight runnnrs received twenty yards, accord ing to the conditions. We shall leave the position of the minor men unnoticed. Warwick led the first quarter of a mile, with Brookson in close attendance, with Makepeace and Nutt third and fourth. The pace soon told on the com moners, and at the third quarter Makepeace led, Brookson, Nutt, and Warwick being in tolerably close attendance. Eventually iirookson was the winner, Makepeace having given in, and Warwick and Nutt being beyond the possibility of gaining a place. BLOCKADE OF THE TEMPLE.—The carriage entrances to the Temple are now completely blocked up, the principal one at Middle Temple-lane, bythe stoppage of Fleet-street, and the other at King's Bench-walk, by the formation of new sewers in Whitefriars. The only convenient access now is from Essex-street, Strand, which is the nearest point for a carriage to stand ; and Fleet-street will shortly be almost impassable even for foot passengers. BRIGHTON, ACC. 10.—Lord Bathurst arrived on Se, turday, from Paris, by the steamer from Dieppe. DREADFUL DEATH (W A CLER- GYMAN RAVING MAD. MYSTERIOUS AND SUSPICIOUS AFFAIR. Yesterday, and throughout the whole of Sunday, con siderable sensation was manifested amongst the clergy and local authorities of the parish of St. Pancras, in consequence of the dreadful and melancholy end of a Rev. Gentleman, for many years past officiating at the old church; and the mysterious and suspicious circumstances connected there with. Ou instituting inquiries in various quarters yester day, the following narrative was obtained by the reporter:— The Rev. Gentleman alluded to is the Rev. Charles Kaye. aged fifty, who has been fur come years past the assistant minister at Old St. Pancras Church. On the afternoon of Sunday, tL. 26th ult., the Rev. Gentleman, as was his usual custom, atteuu.a *he burial-ground, and read the funeral service over a great numb,— bodies. H e a l so attended, for a similar purpose, on the W eautoany and Thursday following, and on these occasions he appeared in his usual health. He was again expected to perform hie duties, as usual, on Sunday, the 2d instant, but as he did not rake his appearance, inquiries were instituted, ar.d it was ascertained that the unfortunate gen tleman had, on the previous evening, been conveyed away from his apartments, No. 18, Wilmot-street, Brunswick square, in a cab to the University College Hospital, on the ground that he had been seized with insanity. It appears that on the arrival of the Rev. Gentleman at the hospital Dr. Quain, the resident physician and surgeon, was from home, and on the representations of the two gentlemen who accom panied him, the house apothecary was induced to admit hint as a patient. On the return of Dr. Quain, it being ascer tained that the Rev. Mr. Kaye was really mad, notice was given that he must be removed, his case not being a proper one for treatment in that hospital. On the following Tues day the parties who had taken the Rev. Gentleman to the hospital again removed him in a cab to the St. Pancras Workhouse, where he remained under the care of a Mr. T. H. Cooper, the parish surgeon, until Saturday last, when he died, it is stated, in a most dreadful manner and raving mad. The Rev. Mr. Kaye, who is stated to be a widower, had resided for upwards of five years at No. 18, Wilmot-street, and was generally supposed to be a poor clergyman, but circumstances have within the last few days transpired tta induce a belief that the contrary is the fact. After the removal of the Rev. Gentleman from the hospital to the workhouse, the persons above alluded to proceeded to 18, Wilmot-street, and demanded of the landlady the keys of the Rev. Mr. Kaye's apartments. These, however, she refused to resign at first, but ultimately did so, on which the gentlemen proceeded up stairs, and then being unable to find the keys, they forced the drawers, secretaires, &c., of the un• fortunate gentleman, and took away with them all hiS writings, and it is believed a considerable amount of othee property. Having again fastened up the doors of the apart ments, the gentlemen called upon the landlady to take charge of the keys of them, and allow no one to enter until they had paid another visit. This * however, she positively declined to do, as she had no knowledge of the property about to be takers away, and the parties then left, taking the key* with them. The most remarkable circumstance, and that which appears to excite the greatest suspicion its the fact, that during the whole time the Rev. Gentleman has has been an inmate of the workhouse, not a or single soul !POW ce his death visited, or made any inquiries after him, "fa a pp li ed in the dead house usually claimed his body, which st ill li es up . to last evening, for the remains of paupers. This, it is con + approPria— h a ve b een case if the parties above h,3 y for n his removal, or ardered, would not as ee referred to had really been the friends of the deceased or his f am ily. It is stated that, during the whole time the unfor• tunate gentleman had been in the workhouse, he was so ex. tremely violent as to render necessary his constant confine. ment in a strait waistcoat, and all his apprehensions appeared to be that he was being " robbed and murdered." An order of removal had been procured, and had not death terminated his sufferings on Saturday, the Rev. Gentleman wee to have been removed on Monday to the County Lunatics Asylum, at Hanwell. In consequence of the singular ch.. cumstance and the unsatisfactory nature of the case, the overseers of the poor intend laying the whole facts before the board of directors and guardians, and a communication ora the subject having been also forwarded to Mr. Wakley, the coroner, there can be but little doubt the entire matter will undergo, as it deserves, a rigid investigation. Oncarac CURIOSITY.—A correspondent says, a short time since, as the organist of St. James's, in this town, was luxuriating in some extemporaneous harmonies, at a most unmerciful length, a gentleman passing by at the time in• quired of a churlish and extremely unmusical parishioner if he knew " what stop the player was using?" To which he replied, " There's no stop at all, sir, I'm sorry to say, to this organ, as it has been going just in this way for the last halt hour."—Suffolk Chronicle. ANOTHER MURDER AND SUICIDE.—During the last week the district around Battel, in Sussex, was painftilly excited by the occurrence of one of those tragical transactions—murder and std. tide, which of late have unhappily been frequently enacted in various parts of the kingdom. The scene of this dreadful affair LI at the village of Whattington, a few miles distant from Battel. According to the evidence adduced before the coroner at the inquest, it appeared that a labourer, named Freeland, had beets confined to his bed for ten weeks, but latterly he had so far re covered as to be able to wander about the house. On Sunday evening, a woman named Davis took the child from the mother (who was lighting the fire), and, presenting it to the father. said, " Hero is your father." He replied, " I shall not have anything to say to it, for when I nurse it I get in the wrong. and am blowed up." Ills wife then looked up at him, and observed, " I wish it would please God to take me and the baby this night. Upon which Freeland made answer, " If it does, I hope it will pleasd God to take you to heaven." She then took the child, and in a few minutes left the house in an excited state, and hours passing and she not returning, search was made for her, and late in the evening her body and that of the child were found in a neighbouring pond. Evidence was given showing that Freeman and his wife generally lived very happily together, and were excessively fond of the child. The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased wife destroyed her. self and child while in a state of temporary insanity." DARING ROBBERY OF ANCIENT COINS, &e.--0111 Monday information was received by the police, that between the hours of seven and eight o'clock that morning, a most daring robbery was committed at the residence of Mr. George Gwilt, Union-street.; St. Saviour's, Southwark, and thefollowing valuable property carried off :—Between 500 and 600 silver coins (Roman), a large number elf gold coins (English and Roman), a silver pepper-box and silver mu*. tard-spoon, a silver table-spoon, and a very elegant silver-gilt sun* box with the following inscription on it:—" Presented to George Gwilt, Esq. architect, F.S.A. in admiration of his able restoration of the beau t iful specimen of the early English architectnre, the Lady* Chapel, St. Saviour's, Southwark, to which he gratuitouslY gave his scientific and valuable services, A.D., 184 2 ."
