This rise coincides with that which has occurred in Eng land and in France ; but unhappily our prices are still higher than in France or England. Bread is dearer. with us than in these two great neighbouring states, our rivals in industry. These facts claim the attention of our Government What especially requires all its attention, and merit its most earnest solicitude, is the state of our poorer classes during the approaching winter. After the honourable mention which Sir Robert Peel made of our foresight in counteracting the scarcity of potatoes last winter, we Should be sorry to be surpassed this year by other coun tries. Yet we do not hear of any measures being taken, or even projected. Because the crop of potatoe: is saved, it would be a great error to believe that we shall have no great scarcity to struggle wilt. Undoubt. dly there will be a great difference between the price of that vegetable in 1846, and that of last year, but will there not be in the appr.aching winter much fewer resources forthe indigent classes ? Will not the temperature of the season itself cause those classes to suffer the greatest privations ? We shoal be surprised it the Government did not hasten to think on these im portant points. We lcnow that in France the Ministe.s have taken precautions against a possible scarcity, and w e are aware of chat the English Government has thought fit to dO for Ireland.

LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITU TION. On Friday Mr. Sherer gave the first .of a :series of lectures in this institution, on the general minstrelsy of Scotland, which he illustrated by singing ten gems of Scottisb.song. We have seen very flattering critiques in the provinc:al press of Mr. Sherer's talents as a lecturer, and his powers as a vocalist, and the reception which he drew from his audience on Friday evening was suffi ciently confirmative of the truth of all we have heard of him. His illustrations were prefaced by a brief,reca pi ulation of. the orig'n of the pec u li ar mus i c of his native mountainland, and the history of its songs; with some short account of the authors of these beautiful effusions. Each of his songs he also preceded by an explanation of the circumstances under which it was written, told its plot or story accompanied with a trans lation of Scottish words, and he then recited it with gracefulness of manner. and in tones of pathos or arch humour, .a 3 the character of the song required. In all these particulars Mr. Sherer excels, and this porti on o f his ervertainment alone would afford to small amount of gratification to an audience of cultivated minds —aye, and even to the uncultivated, who are equally susceptible to the power of elegant elocution. his singing, how ever, is the charm by which he holds his audience in a spell and excites their feelings to their utmost stretch. " Kelvin Grove" was pe:rhaps never sung with more effect, and well merited the encore it received. " The Bonnie House o' Airly" was also given with great spirit. Mr. Sherer's rich humour and comic vein found full play in "Come under my plaidie," "'Tale yer auld cloak about ye," and "The barring o' the door." These pro• duced repeated bursts of laughter, and thelast was en• cored. The quality of this gentleman's voice is full and r.ch, combining great sweetness and power in both its upper and lower tones, and his execution is in perfect good taste.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, SEPT. 18 —We have only to report a limited. demand again for most de scriptions of foreign Wool during the past week, but recent rates are steadily supported, as well in this market as at the London sales. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 18.--The demand for combing wool is without any variation of moment com pared with the la,t few weeks : prices are stationary. BRISTOL SEPTEMBER WOOL FAIR —The quantity of wool pitched was less than usual, and fewer seles were (.IF. cted ; coach is chiefly to be attributed s' - sales of colonial wool, which are juit about to commence. There appeared to be less disp , sition on the Fart of the manufacturers to buy than at the late , fairs, and prices were evidently lower than at the last March fair, but were about the same ns have been obtained for the last three weeks. The demand for the finer descriptions - of wools was very limited. TRADE OF LEEDS. —From the circumstance of many of the larger manufacturers being engaged in making to order, a very limited quantity of goods at present in demand were brought to the Cloth flidls, sad mar kets were dull both on Saturday and Tuesday. Prices con tinue steady. Business is duller in the warehouses than is usual in the month of September. The weather con tinuing so warm has the tendency of retarding the sale of winter goods, the larger buyers preferrin g to buy sparingly, and visit the market oftener, rather than lay in heavy stocks at the commencement of the season. Should the weather turn out cold next month the proba bility is that there will be a pretty brisk trade in heavy seasonable goods. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY, SEPT. 17.—The demand for combing wools to-day is an average one. Prices are very firm, as the staplers are unable to replace their stocks, with profit, at lower prices. Noils and short, wools are in good demand: It has ever been our pride to be accurate and impar tial in our market eccounts t and we must, therefore, honestly state, notwithstanding other reports, that the yarn trade is in a healthy condition. The spinners are fully employed, and no stocks of consequence are on hand ; and we should like to know where the unemployed frames, mentioned by a contemporary, are to be found. Several large spinning firms in the town are very much in. want of hands. We shall hold the' balance evenly between our manufacturing and wool-growing friends, and never make Bradford market a link lower in prosperity than it really is. For low merinos and other heavy piece goods there is an excel lent demand. Figures are somewhat on the decline. Goods are largely bought for the American market.. We may, in a word, say that our market, in all its depart ments, is in a vigorous and healthy state. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY. —There has been a good deal doing in cloth this week, but the market has been influenced more by the advance on the staple than any other cause. Many parties- now apprehend that with the prospect of a short crop of cotton and the high price of food, we shall have anything but a prosperous trade through the winter. At present, however, our dyers and printers are pretty well employed. The velvet trade is tolerably good. Yarns are ready sale at a small advance, though not equal to that on the staple. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY EVENING. —To-day the business is again very large, amounting to not less than 10,000 bales, at full ; id. per lb, advance on the quotations of last week. The sales of the week are— Friday, 7,000; Saturday, 7,000; Monday, 20,000; Tues day, 10,000 ; and yesterday, 10,000— total, 54,000 bales, ... ----,..... Al DOVER UNION.

Gentlemen,---I have the honour to report, that in pursuance of the instructions conveyed to me in your letter of the 29th of June last, to inquire into the truth of certain allegations which had been made relating to the conduct of Joseph M'Dougal, the schoolmaster of the workhouse .of the Andover Union, towards the pauper children therein, and to the sale of provisions b 3 him, and conformably to the information conveyed to me in }our letter of the Bth of July, that the allegations in question were made by Jane Grace, formerly an inmate of the Andover workhouse, and by Sarah Muspratt, re cently an inmate, of the same workhouse, arid that two ' persons of the name of Matilda Coleman and Elizabeth , Saunders could give evidence on the former point, I ap pointed, with your sanction, the 23d of July for com mencing the inquiry, that being the earliest day which pressing official engagements left open to me, and it being uncertain also whether the presence of Jane Grace and Sarah Muspratt could be obtained previously to that time. Total 1, Mr. Morse stat es - i n his letter that the electric tele graph is now the chief mode of transmitting all the news of the Government and the important correspoadenc e of merchants, and of the public generally. Its influence has, he says, been already kit by the press. The journals of the large towns, which were taken in the country on account of their giving the most reef at news, have lost a great number of their subscribers, whilst there has been a very large increase in the circulation of the journals of the small towns near the extreme points rf the electric telegraphs. The extenta)f the lines of elec.rie telegraphs in France is very small, as compared with the account given by Mr. Morse, and from the very slow progress made by the committee on telegraphs appointed by the Government, and at the—bod of which is M. Arago, a long time must elapse befare we reach here the total given by that gentleman. We2 l ;fisvi, not heard that the committee has as s:et sent ~ e;y mort on th e var i ous systems of telegraphic catermarT.hation, particularly those of Mr. Morse and Mr. Bain, of Edinburgh, which have been submitted to it. It is quite time, however, that the report should be made, and that whatever is good is each should be adopted, and the authors handsomely remunerated, instead of resorting to the unworthy pla. giarism which is said to have been recommended, and which would almost amount to piracy. An important,,. question in chemistry has been raised by a communication from M. Malagutti. By a decision of the Marine Department, the manufacturers of sail cloth for the navy are bound to bleach their cloths with alkalies, and without the use of chlorine, and to stiffen them with gum arabic, and withoir starch. The mode of testing the cloth delivered for the use of the navy is to put a drop of the tincture of iodine on it, and if it turns blue the cloth is refused. M. Malagutti proves that in certain cloths. although only gum arable should have been used, the blue colour may result from the test, as the starch used in the preparation of the thread is some. limes leftin by an imperil ct process of bleaching. A paper from M. Jobard was received on the Chinese system of boring wells by means of a rope instead of metallic rods. He states that M. Goublet Collet has adopted this system with the best results in Champagne, and that the cost is only 3f. per foot, without any in crease according to depth. The whole of the apparatus costs only 500 f. M. Biot, in his own name, and in those of Messrs. Babinet and Pouillet, read a very favourable report on an apparatui constructed by M. Ituunkorff to facilitate the exhibition of the optical phenomena produced by transparent bodies when they are placed between the opposite poles of a magnet of great power, M. Velpeau presented, in the name of M. C. Sedillot, of Strasburgh, a summary of a work on cancerous affec tions. The object of M. Sedillot is to show the advan tage that may be derived from the use of the microscope in the examination of tumours supposed to be cancerous. He is of opinion, however, that the diagnostic of a great number of tumours is now sufficiently established with out the use of the microscope. A letter was received from M. Forster, giving an ac count'of his having discovered, on the night of the 13th, a meteor, leaving the constellation Cygnus, and taking a westerly direction. It left a train, which was visible only for one second. Leek, Staffordshire, 17th September, 1346 JOHN GAUNT, BIDEFORD AND TAVISTOCK RAILWAY COMPANY.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 15.—The average price of ,h at during the week, ending on Ba:et...lay, 'he 12th of Sep tember, was, 25f. 83e., anti that of rye, 18r. 52.. per hectolitre. On the first reports which wer e circ. I itei of the re-appearance of di-ease in the potatoes, the Ad. ministration took measures to collect, in all the pro vinces, information, to ascertain the real condi!i..a of that plant. It results from the rep. its which the Ad. ministration has received...that the disease appeared in tact ; to a large extent in the country. Iti symptoms are similar to those which it offered in 1845, but it has hitherto been less intense, and it seems to spread with great rapidity. The disease having appeared five or six weeks later than last year, the ferward species hive for the most port escaped the disease, because their maturity was hastened under the influence of the almost con stantly high temperature which we have enjoyed this summer. In many localities the forward patatues have been got in, and the farmers speak with much satisfac tion of the crops which they have obtained. The price of potatoes continues to fall in the Brussels market. Yesterday at five o'clock, the Prince of Salerno, bro ther of the Queen of the French, and the Princes.., his consort, arrived by a special train at the southern station, with a numerous suite. In the evening there was a grand dinner at the royal palace on occasion of the arrival of the Duke of Saxe Cobourg, the Princess Cle mentine, and the Prince of Salerno. The Prince of Salerno merely passes through Belgium on his way to Germany. It seems that the high prices of eges and butter are attributed in a great measure to the extraordinary quan tities sent to England. At Brussels fresh butter is double the usual price. SALZBURGIL SEPT. 10.—On the evening of the sth her Majesty, the Queen's mother, arrived here, and alighted at the hotel of the Archduke Charles, where she intends to remain four days; on the day following the Archduchess Sophia also arrived, and put up at the newly arranged beautiful hotel, the Leopoldskrone, and on the 7th continued her journey to Ischal. On the afternoon of the same day the Duke of Parma, the Archduchess Maria, who arrived and returned yesterday forenoon tc Ischal. In they evening her Majesty, the Empress mother accompanied- by the Archduchess Hildegunde, of Mo dens, who had arrived a few hours previously, left our city for Berechtsgaden, where their Majesties the King and Queen of Bavaria had arrived on the preceding day. CRACOW, SEPT. I.—For the last fortnight we have been in a state of extraordinary uneasiness and suspense. The military measures in the city are much more vigo rous, and patrols, with cannot., are sent out during the night. In the villages there is greater vigilance than ever. Detachments of light horse traverse the country in all directions ; the village patrols, consisting of pea sants, who have a form of their own, hare orders to stop everybody who is not personally known to them ; if any one is 'guilty of negligence while on duty, he is liable to a fine of two rix-dollars and corporal puni,h metit. A notice of the police for bids all conversation on politics, threatening fires, arrest and corporal punish. b to od t y h , e i s e t a h u e s r e e fi ( oa: f e s obuch liged d m t e o a d , u r a re a: h - , c m o w e n n a c e t f r u i ‘ E fl i nry arrive . s the republi c h asten to the city, impelled by an undefined here daily f rom G u lli c i a, an d those from fear.

Only a quarter of an hour is allowed fur the visit, and an Austrian secretary is eiw9y4 present. COPENHAGEN SEPT. B.—Acc,ounts bro ug h t b y s hi ps from the manufacturing town of Nystadt, in Finked, state that during a dreadful thunder -storm a budding was struck by lightning, in consequence of which 94 houses, with their dependencies, were reduced to ash, s. The accounts of damage dot.e by thunder storms in all the northern rovinees are very considt rattle. Fttom TILE ELBE, SEPT. 2.—W are able to ann?nnce, from an authentic source, that accoroing to eel-rm/li cations made to the Cabinet of Copenhagen by M. Von Ewers, Russian i2harl.ti d'Affaires in Denmark, the " letters pa'ent " have met with a mere than faveurAtde reception in St. l'eters:-,arch. Russia fully approves the step taken Ly the King, vs it is not only calculated to a solution and removal of existing doubts, but likewise furnishes means to raise a barrier against the agitation by which even the well disposed had been carried away, and to bring back the parties to a right course. How far these expectations have hitherto been fulfilled, and whe ther the issuing of the letters patent is really conformable to the principles of prUdent policy, we may perhaps form a more correct judgment at this moment, than it was possible to do at St. Petersburgh some weeks ago. •By order, • • FRAS.

SHOPS, has been extended from WEDNESDAY, the 23d, to WEDNEs- DAY, the 30th instant, at Eleven o'clock, A. re. -By order, C. P. llONErgetittaiy: 'tlinapiAtishopsgate Station, Septa 19, 1846. , ESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN'SMTH Accordingly, on the 23d of July, in the prt sence of a board of the guardians of the Andover Union, specially summoned, I proceeded to the investigation of the fol lowing charge against Joseph M'Dougal, viz.:— That the brother of Sarah Muspratt had been severely beaten and briiised by Joseph M'Dougal, Kith a leather strap with a buckle at the end of it, and that he was struck with the buckle-end of the strap ; and that two other boys, named Harry and Isaac White, were also beaten at the same time, and that blood flowed from the nose of Harry White. At the outset of the inquiry, an objection was taken by one of the guardians, that Joseph M'Dougal was not the schoolmaster of the Andover workhouse ; that he had never been regularly appointed by the guardians, nor his appointment, such as it is, sanctioned by the Commissioners. It appeared that the minute-book of the guardians was with the Committee of the House of Commons. The clerk, Mr. Lamb, was not present at the meeting ; neither were the chairman, vice-chair man, nor any guardian, prepared to give evidence on the subject. On searching the books containing the rough minutes of the board, from which they are fairly copied into the minute-book, an entry was found, of which I inclose a copy. It appears that Joseph M'Dougal, who is now only twenty years of age, has been continued in his situation during nearly three years, under this provisional ap pointment, which it was stated had never received the sanction of the Commissioners. As, however, the appointment, whether provisional or per.nanent, entailed, as regarded the care and treat ment of the children entrusted to the charge of the indi vidual accepting the appointment, the same duties and resposibilities, I did not consider the objection of a nature to affect or stay my proceedings. I inclose the depositions, taken upon oath, of Sarah Muspratt, of Thomas Charles Westlake, Esq., of Ch ar l es Muspratt, of R o b ert Th omas Latham, Esq., of William Austin, of Charles Pilgrim, and of Mr. James Blythe," the present governor of the workhouse ; from which it clearly appears that towards the end of October, a short time before Mr. Price, the late governor, was succeeded in his office by Mr. Blythe, on a Saturday, the day of meeting of the board of guardians, the two boys, Charles Muspratt and William Austin, being then both more than 14 years of age, were violently beaten by Jeseph M'Dougal, the former with a cane, the latter with a cane and a strap having a buckle at the end of it ; that Harry White, an older lad, having interfered to prevent Joseph M'Dougal from continuing the castigation, a scuffle ensued, during which Harry White and Isaac White, his brother, received blows on the nose and mouth from Joseph M'Dougal, and that Charles Muspratt was thrown with his head on the stone floor; that the noise and clamour brought to the school-room various persons, viz., Sarah Muspratt, Elizabeth Morrison, the nurse, Mrs. Price, the matron, and Mr. Price the master; that about this time the board of guardiara had assembled; that Sarah Muspratt applied to Mr. Price to be allowed to go before the board, to state what had hap pened to her brother; that Mr. Price promised that he would call for her at the proper time, hut that he did not do so, and that she did not subsequently make any complaint to the visiting Committee, or to any one else, on the subject, until she appeared before the Committee of the Hous , of Commons. It appears also that the reason why Joseph Al‘nougal chastised Charles Musuratt and William Austin was, that they had not learned by rot, a certain task set to them as a punishment on the pre ceding. day. Lastly (on the statement of Mr. Westlake and Mr. Latham), that the blows inflicted on the back and kind were severe blows, although not of a nature to require medical treatment, Joseph M'Dougal does not deny the facts thus deposed to, nor has he brought any witnesses to disprove them, although furnished by my instruction, on the 16th of July, with a statement of the charges about to be brought against him. Joseph M'Dougal, therefore, has been clearly proved guilty of an infraction of articles 47, 48, 49, and 51, of the workhouse rules, in the cases of Charles Muspratt, William Austin, William Taylor, and James Taylor. although it does not appear that the statement made by Sarah Muspratt is literally correct. It further appears that upon other occasions and recently Joseph M'Dougal has been in the habit ocstrik ing the boys for trifling faults, without reporting the same to the master of the workhouse, as prescribed by article 51 of the workhouse regulations. On the other hand, it does not appear that in other respects the children have been ill-treated or neglected as regards their instruction. Their progress in writing and arithmetic has been considerable under Joseph M'Dougal, and is above-the average attainment in these respects, of children even of a higher class. I inquired of the children, out of his presence, whether any of them desired to complain of any ill-treatment on his part; but none were disposed to do so, although the question was put repeatedly. lam inclined to attribute the con duct of Joseph M'Dougal rather to youth and want of proper control, than to a harsh or tyrannical disposition.

The Directors have already announced to the Shareholders that arrangements were pending with the London and Birmingham Railway Company (now the London and North-Western), having for their, object the transfer of the line to that Company, and the return to the Shareholders in this undertaking ofthe whole of O'er deposits. The Directors recommend the proposed arrangements to the .hare ' holders, as being much to their advantage, and most calculated to ensure the speedy completion of the line, and to afford the best guarantee of its being efficiently worked for the public convenience.

W A RK. _On Friday, shortly before ten o' c l oc k, a fi re o f great extent broke out on the premises of Messrs. Saddler, Firth, and Ross, the extensive musts., d and saw mills, situate in Great Guildford street, Southwftrk, and from the immense quantity of inflammable materials known to be contained in the premises the greatest fears were entertained that, as it was hounded on the sides and rear by several small streets and courts, the whole of them must have met with inevitable destruction: From the early period of the evening at which the fire broke out but few per sons had retired to rest, and the greatest activity was soon shown to remove such articles of household furni ture to a place of safety as circumstances appeared to require. The fire-escape from Fleet-street was also in readiness to afford assistance in case it should be nee-ded. The first indication of fire was discovered by one of the workmen, who on going ne ar th a t port i on of the pr em i ses used as sawing -mills, found smoke issuing from it, which shortly after burst into flames, communicating to the upper floors, the whole of which were soon completely burnt away. From thence the fire spread to the mustard and crushing mills, which, froni the inflammable nature of its contents of oil-cake, oil. &c., were soon in a complete blaze, illumining the vicinity to such an extent that the smallest object on the ,round could be observed for a considerable distance around; with the most perfect distinctness ; and so in tense was the heat that an approach to the seat of the fire was for a time nearly, if not wholly, impossible. The engines from the Waterloo-road, Southwark bridge-road, Farringdon-street, Chandos street, Jeffrey square, and Watling-street stations were promptly in attendance, the latter, accompanied by Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the Fire Brigade establishment, who, immediately on his arrival, gave th e necessary orders for cuttin g o ff ' as muc h as possible any commu nication.

At a signal from the Sheik, one of his troop, an Arab, spurred forth from the line, and turning his horse sud denly, shook his lance over his shawl helmet, and seemed to defy an adversary. Another hint from the Sheik, and a great negro, the most powerful of the band, sprang forward, poised his long lance, and approaching within a few yards of the other, seemed about to hurl it with unerring aim, but his lighter adversary brought his horse so suddenly on his haunches that he must un doubtedly have escaped the blow. The negro, mean time, was at top speed, and before he could turn in the saddle or bring his lance to the rear parry (which is a skilful feat, the arm twisted round, and the lance trailing along, a perfect de'ence to the rear); before he could do this the active Arab had driven his pointed stirrup into the side of his steed, and dashed with uplifted lance upon his enemy. Escape was impossible, and the negro was vanquished ; he accord ingly took his place in the march, and another Arab darted out to the play. The activity of the horses, and the perfect seat of the ride's, were beautiful. This time they galloped at first easily along, and parallel with each other, making feints with their lances, and parrying with equal skill; suddenly the last conqueror wheeled his horse, twirled his lance over his head, spurred across and behind his fellow, and aimed the spear head at the shoul der; the other darted as suddenly away,•inducing his enemy to follow at full speed, when, by the same feat of checking suddenly his horse, he in turn became pursuer. The trick was less successful than with the negro, for the cunning victor of the last trial dropped his lance, and quick as thought his cymeter glittered in the air, the blow was parried, and, closing in, he would have cleft the turban of his enemy in a trice This second victory seemed to rouse the Sheik, who, patting the neck of his noble horse, settled himself in the saddle, and rode quietly out of the road towards the conqueror. The latter, meantime, had recovered his lance, and stood motionless on the defensive. The Sheik approached cautiously, and trotted round his opponent, who kept his front carefully toward him, and avoided two or three thrusts. Presently he appeared to weary of playing the defensive, and he darted at the Sheik ; but the horse of the chief was unmatched in speed and activity ; he easily saved his rider, who immediately after whirling suddenly, became again the assailant. The Arab was taken unawares, failed to parry his ene my's lance, and the Sheik won the fight: After several such combats, they performed a melee, and nothing could be more animated. The attack, retreat, pursuit, dashing to and fro, the active horses straining every nerve, and the showy Ciders exerting their dearest skill, wheeling, flying, halting as by magic, in " all the current of a heady flight." Suddenly there was a pause, and they 'formed together, as though uniting their forces ; several planted their long lances in the ground, unslung their carbines, and, dashing away, turned in their saddles at full speed, and gave their fire as at some pursuing enemy. The reports of the fire-arms, the wild shouts, the flying figures, now confused together, and again in fierce pursuit, the furious gestures, and the noble bounds of the horses—indeeed, the picture was grand beyond all imagining.—Schroeder's• Shores of the Mediterranean.

The quantity of oil which kept continually falling, however, completely baffled them, and the engine -house soon s h are d t h e f ate o f the other portions of the premise, destroying the entire contents of what was inflammable, and rendering the other part com pletely useless from the excessive heat and the falling timbers. e tt it OORMAN AND LANGDON'S ORl pU~noi GINAL DRAWING PENCILS continue to be made by the Sticcessor of the Inventor.

What a surprising contrast is formed by the conduct which England has observed towards us in these latter tim?s, in comparison with that simultaneously observed by France ! Zt would lead to nothing merely to examine at this moment if the difference with which we are about to acquaint ourselves, only proves the greater skilful ness of the English policy ; or if, in reality, it de pends on the circumstance that there is, in this same policy, a certain foundation of rnosnlity which obliges her to respect our nationality and independence. It suffices us to say that this difference exists, and that Great Britain succeeds, by her manm r of proceeding, in attracting as many sympathies amongst us as the di pl'macy of Louis Philippe alienates by its mode of acting. We are doing nothing more than exposing a fact that is palpable to all of us, and it would even be indecorous to seek in the conduct of England, which so highly favours us, the motive Qf self-interest which may have actuated that country. In spite of this, we shall not deny that selfishness mty partly instigate the modes operandi of the policy pursued on the banks of the Thames ; hut if every one who received a benefit—be it a man or a p?ople—strov e to discover the intention and the motive of self-convenience which animated the bene factor, the word " gratitude" could t have been in vented, and assuredly t h e dictionary, would not contain another so utterly superfluous. Supposing that England and France, in their acts, exclusively consult their own private convenience, we shall inevitably be forced to admit that the interests of England are not found in hostility to our own, and that those of France are ; and through selfishness also, we declare ourselves the friends of the former, and the enemies of the latter. What matters it to us that when France does us an injury s h e may not do it in order to prejudice us, but only to f avour herself ? It is equally certain that she does prejudice us. What matters it to us that when England renders us a benefit she may do it in order not to prejudice herself, and not for the sake of favouring us? It is equally certain that she does favour us, and this is what we require : we look to results, and care nothing for anything else. We know not if France, through the medium of her own private convenience, could give us an explanation of all the acts which constitute her policy towards us, but it is positive that these acts are atrocious, and that they render her odious to the hearts of all Spaniards who are not Afrancesados. We know not whether, through the medium of her own private convenience, she could hit upon an explanation of the ferocious treaty of which the Spanish Liberals are the vic tims, who, ejected from their country for political causes, have the misfortune to seek an asylum in her bosom. We know not in what point it can suit our generous ally to compel these poor proscribed wretches to pass from one point of her territories to the other on the slightest requisition from a vindictive consul, or in what point it can suit her to confine the unhappy victims to districts where it is impossible for them to find an honourable means of subsistence, or in what it --- h-- HOT WEATHER. -TRAVELLING.-SEA- SIDE.—The REGISTERD PALETOT in London, only at 22, Cornhill, opposite the Royal Exchange; and the chief Llama Cloth Warehouse, 114, /tegent-street. Do not be deceived by a similarity of name, placed in the windows of a few petty shops In the neighbourhood of the Patentees. Each Paletot is stamped " 11. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, Regent-street." The adjoining premises of Messrs. Evans and Co., coopers, the destruction of which appeared at one time a matter of certainty, escaped uninjured, as also, did those of persons resident in Russell-place, Essex street, &c. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that a receiving -vat for the crushing-house, which was fixed dose to the latter place, containing between 2,000 and 3,000 gallons of oil, although at times almost surrounded by fire, escaped uninjured. By eleven o'clock the fire was completely subdued, and too much praise cannot he awarded to the firemen who had the direction of the hose in the interior of the premises, their situation being frequently that of great peril and difficulty. The-readiest assistance was afforded by the immense mass of persons that had assembled, amounting to several thousands, and one or two large arms in the neighbourhood who keep private engines on their pre mises volunteered their use on the occasion. The damage done to the stack and premise's it is at present utterly impossible to estimate, but it must be very heavy indeed. Mr. Firth, one of the partners in the firm, stated that the property was insured in one or two offices, but that he was quite unable to say whether it was to such an extent as would cover their loss. So large a conflagration has not been witnessed in the metropolis for some years, the greater part of South wark being completely illuminated, and its reflection upon the river had a most singular and novel appear ance, which drew so large a number to Blackfriar's bridge to witness it, that the footpath and roadway were rendered nearly, impassable. „‘;IA MOND CARCEL LAMP—NEW L IGHT . 11(1.11,1The DIAMOND CARTEL LAMP is the best light in the f; 1 0 , bu t ; r eizrcel Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe ;it burns tiv_tP s unset n'onl all imperfections of ordinary oil lamps ; burns „isplen, morning without attention ;is so simple it cannot he „`,?4 a ltotr!!_ llo . cleaning required for years. ;he Gem, the Vesta, iriteh abeQurrit or Camphine Lamps given awe. at half-price, but ligh t .2:Ts r are . dear at a gift .

Saved ! To be had at . the Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross. The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, Ile advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliriney produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neith er sme ll nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period; and such Is Its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction of gas in dwellin:•-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture ; draperies, gold moulding, &c.; these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS 13uaNEa." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than is com monly supposed ; it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from-the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 2Gth May, 1846, SirJonsr RENNIE, President, in the Chair. " A gilt burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was heated, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third." CERTIFICATE. POLYTECHNIC CHEMICAL SCHOOL.—" I n testing Clark, Mc Niel], and Co,'s Universa ;Gas Burner with one of the best shawdowless turners, it gave a more pure and brilliant light, with a saving of 20 to 25 per cent." GEORGE CRISP, Engineer, • ROUT. LONGBOTTOM, Secretary, CERTIFICA TE. " In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Me Niell, and Co.'s Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners, No. 4, 48 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe- rier to any other burner." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, ramAv.—Whilst the public indigna tion has been roused to an unprecedented pitch at home • in the result of the recent flogging case at Hounslow Barracks, the infliction of the lash abroad in the other branch of the service has been allowed to continue with ' out a murmur from the public at home; but the cries of the sufferers have reached us, and, through us, we trust they will reach the ears of those who have it in their power to provide a remedy for such cruelty. In one small ship in the Mediterranean, mounting less than twenty guns, the lash has been more frequently used in one year than in all:the other ships on the station in quad ruple that time. The case to which we allude is one of the worst that has ever come under our notice since the war. Between March, 1845, and May, 1846, upwards of 2,000 lashes have, it is asserted, been inflicted on a crew which has never consisted of more than 120 eligible for punishment, and these lashes have been given for the least conceivable offences. The ship has not been in commission two years, but the state of discipline •on board, and the horror to enter for her or to continue in her, may be judged of from the fact that four of her lieutenants have prayed for removal to other ships, and have been re moved. • The paymaster and purser has also been re moved at his own request. The master has' been tried and dismissed. The clerk has " run," and of the offi cers and men left, there is not one, our letter assures us, but who would also be glad to get out of such a ship where the cries and groans of the lacerated are but sel dom hushed. A private letter from the Rattler, screw -propelled steam sloop, Captain Smith, dated off Lisbon, Sept. 2, states that the squadron of evolution will most probably return to Spithead within three weeks from that date. - An East Indiaman, the Herald, arrived yesterday from Bombay, with the frame 4 of two men of war, amounting to 2,000 loads of teak timber. She was towed into the harbour to-day by the Echo steam-tug to dis charge her cargo. /VANTS SUPPLIED I WANT A HAT!

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT ROTHEREITHE.—On Friday evening, shortly before five o'clock, a fire of a most fear ful character, by which several hundred pounds worth of property was consumed, broke out in the premises be longing to Mr. Thomas Knight Tippett, an oil and colourman, situated at 3, Stringer's-row, Lower-road, Rotherhithe. It appears, that whilst the proprietor of the buildings was passing through the kitchen with a measure containing four gallons of spirits of turpentine, he fell over a chair, and the whole of the turpentine fell on to the floor, and into the fireplace. Owing to the combustible nature of the spirits, not half a minute passed away before the apartment presehted one im mense sheet of flame, and it was with the greatest diffi culty that Mr. Tippett could effect a safe retreat. The engine from the station in the neighbourhood, belonging to the London B r i ga d e, quickly attended, but unfortu nately it could not b e set to work for up war d s o f twenty minutes, on account of a want of water. Meanwhile the flames made dreadful havoc, sei z i rg upon everything of an ignitable characteri n the shops, and extending from thence to the two upper floors o f t h e b uilding. Several other brigade engines with Mr. Braidwood, the superin tendent the West of En2land engine with Mr. Connor ton, and those of the parish, arrived in rapid succession, and as soon as the mains in the district yielded any water, the firemen, under their foreman, Mr. Henderson, set to work most vigorously, but upwards of two hours were spent before they succeeded in extinguishing the flames, and not before the whole of the stock in trade was consumed; the furniture, wearing apparel, and other effects destroyed, and the premises entirely gutted. A.n adjoining house, No. 4, Stringer's-row, has the ba c k windows burnt out; and the house in the occupation of Mr. Lilly, straw-bonnet maker (No. 2) is extensively da maged. Mr. Tippett's stock in trade, we understand, was insured for only 450/., and the building for 2001. The other parties were uninsured. THE SUSPECTED MURDER BY POISONING IN ESSEX.—FRIDAY EVENING.—This morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. C. Lewis, one of the coroners for Essex, re• sumed, for the fourth time, the inquiry into the sus pected murders by poisoning of James and Joseph Chesham, the children of Sarah Chesham, who at pre sent is awaiting trial in the Chelmsford gaol, on a charge of attempting to administer a deadly drug to a n i n f ant . Some additio na l t es ti mon y wa s received, after which the inquiry was adjourned for one month. A , PPOINTMENTs. H. A. Norman, Lieutenant, Rodney. Thomas H. Downes, Chief Officer, Coast Guard. CHATHAM, SEPT. 18.—On Tuesday, the 15th instant, the Fearless steam-vessel left the harbour in the morn ing for Sheerness, and embarked the captain andj other officers, with a number of pupils of the Aur4a, a Sar dinian corvette, and brought them to Chatham, and they landed at the Queen's stairs. The party consisted of about forty gentlemen ; with them were also some of the officers from the guard ship. These visitors were received by the Captain Superintendent, and other officers, and Lieutenant Win, director of police. They were conducted over the yard, and after making a minute inspection of the smithy, the metal, saw, and lead mills, and the ships building and those in dock, they re-embarked on board the Fearless, and returned again to their ships off Sheerness, expressing themselves highly gratifiea with their visit, and the courteous atten tion they received from the officers of the yard. The Mutine, 12 guns, in dock, is nearly completed iii all her repairs, and during the week she has been painted. and is only waiting to be reported fit to be com missioned, which is expected to be done in a few days. The Southampton, 50 guns, fitted for the ordinary, has been newly coppered, and will be put out of dock next week. A party of men have been sent from the metal mills at Portsmouth to be employed at the new metal mills at this,yard. A sight wing to the new metal mills is to be erected, to correspond with that handsome building, far drilling iron and other metals. - The Rochester, Sedgwick master, has arrived from. Plymouth with stores for this dockyard; and the Duck Savage master, sailed yesterday with stores for Deal any Dover; and the Sinbad, Follett master, sailed with store: for Woolwich dockyard. The Royal Academy of Sciences of Berlin has elected as a corresponding member M. J. P. Secchi, a Jesuit of Rome. This is said to be the first instance of a Jesuit becoming a member of the Berlin Academy. can stiit her to make them walk leagues and leagues with chains around their necks, naked and bare-footed. We could cite many ,similar acts, and if France committ3 them in the consultation of her con venience, we, consulting our own, ought to entreat Almighty God to divest France of all her conveniences. Her conveniences and ours are diame trically opposed to each other. In the year 1823 it suited her to invade our soil with an armed force, to wrest from us our liberty, and to leave the Liberals in the clutches of absolutism. At a subsequent period it suited her convenience, when war began to blaze in the provinces, to add fuel to its flames ; and she finally ad ministered a narcotic to the whole of her police, in order that Don Carlos might cross the French frontier without being seen. It afterwards suited her to overthrow Espartero, and now it appears that it suits her conveni ence to marry the Duke de Montpensier to the Infanta, after it had suited her to marry the Queen to Montemo lin, to Trapani, or to whomsoever else it did rot suit our convenience that she should be married ! Fortunately, Providence bas ordered for some years that whatever suits us should also suit England. It suited this powerful nation, as well during the "Liberal" emigration of 1823 as during that of 1843, to conciliate the affection of the emigrants neither more nor less than it suited France to gain their hatred. Thanks to this, the political outcasts who 'at these two distinct periods had the good fortune to gain the shore of England, met on those shores with abundant sympathies, which greatly alleviated their condition. It suited England, as well as ourselves, that the cause of Don Carlos should succumb, and her valiant soldiers participated more than once in the dangers and glories of our own. It suited England that the regency of Espartero should issue victorious from the blow which dE stroyed it in the year 1843, and Espartero would not have fallen had England paid as little respect as France to the inde pendence of our nat i on. I n a ll t h ese capital points the interest of Spai n an d E ng l an d was synonomous, and hers as well as ours was opposed to that of Fence. To England it is owi ng th at , on t h e marriage question, non e it will b e of the candidates whi c h t h e i nst i nct of ' Spain has re pelled has triumphed unt il now. I t is rumoured that present not take sieli place, a will not even now she is opposed to th e M ontpensier match, al though in this the will of th a t nat i on i s equivalent to m o a f t c h t h dues e have been able to conquer th e re p ugnance of England. We know these men, a n d we k now well enough how because o ur own. the If this men little their , acts are influenced by the will of their country. But what matters it that if Louis Philippe's marriage scheme is not realised, it is owing to the influence of a foreign nation? Spain will not be the less contented. What matters it that in thwarting this match England may only propose to herself to weaken or binder the strengthening of the fatal influences which make of our country a mere French colony ? It suits us to expel these influences ; - we ought not to perceive that it may equally suit England to expel them. When the will of a country is not respected, we ought to &sire that those who are at its head ma) see themselves compelled to re spect the will of another country which is comforrnable with that of our own. _From an authority, on which we can entirely rely, we are enabled to state that T.

FIRE NEAR HouNsLow.—Between twelve and one o'clock on Friday morning, one of. two ricks of clover hay, containing about sixty loads each, belonging to Mr. Mathew Sherborn, of North Hyde, in a fieki in Craw ford-lane, about two miles north-west.of Hounslow, was discovered to be on fire. The discovery was made by one of the_ labourers in Mr. Sherborn's employ, who resides in a cottage not far from the ricks, who imme diately alarmed the neighbourhood, and in a very short time numbers of persons arrived in rapid succession, and exerted themselves to the utmost in endeavouring to ex tinguish the flames, but without effect, and the devouring element quickly extended to the adjoining rick, which with the first became one body of fire. The fire conti lined burning throughout the night and during the greater part of Friday, the whole of both stacks being completely destroyed. The loss is estimated at about 4001., the principal portion of which is fortunately covered by an insurance office. There is no doubt that the fire was accidental, and was occasioned by over-1 heating__ Mr , Thomas Score, of Okeford-Fitzpaine, Dorset, has, in consequence of the failure of the potato crop, with his usual liberality, again reduced the rent of his land one-third, for the benefit of his poor tenants. It is sincerely to he hoped that every wealthy landowner will follow so praiseworthy as example.—Salisbury Journal. It appears on the oath of Jane Grace, that about four years ago she saw her sister, then fourteen years of age. and an inmate of the workhcuse, in the girl's class, a short time before her supper, give Joseph NiTtougal, who was not at the time in the office of schoo'rnaster, one penny for a square piece of bread, which she supposes to have been one of the women's supper rations. Joseph M'Dougal denies the fact, but it des not ap pear probable that Jane Grace, against whose character there is no reproach, would deliberately perjure herself by making such a statement falsely. She adds, more over, that she never knew or heard of another case in which Joseph M'Dougal had sold provisions of any kind. I am of opinion, therefore, that Joseph M'Dougal did about four years ago, holding no official situation at the time, sell to Jane Grace's sister a certain piece of bread ofabout six ounces weight, for one penny, whether be longing to the provisions of the house or not does not ap pear ; and that there is no proof whatever of his having sold provisions the property of the guardians on this or any other occasion. It appears, lastly, that about the same time, viz., be fore he was appointed to the office of schoolmaster, and holding at the time no office of any kind under the Poor law Commission. Joseph M'Dougal did commit an as sault upon Jane Grace by beating her, and also upon William Waldron ; but as I have no authority to in quire into offences committed by persons not employed in the administration cf the poor-laws, I did not feel justified in making further inquiries into these cases, nor indeed was it necessary to do so, to carry out the instructions received by me from the Commissioners. The evidence given in support of the first charge ap pears to me sufficient to show that Joseph M'Dougal has forfeited all claim to one of the most essential qua lifications of a workhouse schoolmaster, namely, a com mand of temper ; but the evidence of his zeal given by the progress of the children under his charge, and the testimony of the master of the workhouse as to his ge neral good conduct, to which may be added the consi deration of his youth, will probably induce the Com missioners to be satisfied with accepting his resignation without inflicting on him the serious stigma and conse quences of a dismissal. I wish to call the attention of the Commissioners to the fact that neither the schoolmaster nor schoolmis tress of the Andover workhouse reside in the work. house ; a circumstance which I consider as very disad vantageous to the children. I have, &c., (Signed) G. PIGOTT, The Poor law Commissioners, London. FATAL 11ICIE FROM A HORSE.--On Friday Mr. W. Payne held an inquest at St. Thomas's Hospital, re specting the death ~f James Ferns, aged thirty-eight years, a carman recently in the service of Mr. Wright, Eltham carrier. On Tuesday night last, about ten o'clock, the deceased was proceeding along the high road leading from Eltham to London, in charge of a van and two horses, when one of them, a very spirited animal, suddenly took fright, and in endeavouring to check the career of the near horse he was knocked down, and before he could recover his feet he received a frightful kick in the face, which brol.e the upper and lower jaws. He was brought to the above hospital, where he expired immediately after his admission. Verdict, "Accidental) death." MORTALITY AMONGST /TARES.—It is a curious circumstance, as connected with the present season, that not only has there been extensive and dangerous disease among cattle, but hares are now found dead in large numbers in the fields. On one estate on which the game is very numerous, about a dozen miles south from Edin burgh, the mortality has been very extensive.—Edinburgh Witness. - COPENHAGEN, SEPT.

PETERSBURGH, SEPT. s.—The departure of their Im perial Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Wurtenburg is fix-d for Wednesday next. The Duke of Leuchtenburg left us last week. Our latest journals announce his passing throuoh Moscow and Tambow. It is thought that his Royal Highness is going to make a second tour to inspect our mines in the Ural and Altar. The energetic representations lately made by our Go vernment to Turkey against affording secret assistance to the Circassian mountaineers, appear not to have had the desired results. LUBECK, SEPT. 13.—The St. Petersburgh steamer Naslednik, which arrived this morning at Travemande, brings word that Count Rantz in, the Danish Ambassa dor at St. Petersburgh, has applied to the King of Den mark for leave to retire from his post. his Countess arrived by the same vessel. BRESLAU, SEPT. 9.—A pious wealthy Jewi,h banker, named Altharas, from Marseilles, passed through this place yesterday, being sent by Sir Moses Monteln,re to Russia, to obtain leave from the Emperor for the emi gration of a certain number of Jews to Algiers, which the Emperor is said to have promised to Sir Moses. It is reported that the traveller has many important letters of recommendation to the Prince of Warsaw, and that it depends much on the Prince to support his views with the Emperor. He is endeavouring here to find a jour neyman acquainted with the Polish and French lan guages, to accompany him as his interpreter on the journey.—Hamburgh papers, Sept. 15.
