The Sun. — London, England, 1846-11-25 00:00:00

TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN RUSSELL, M.P. My LORD,—The sensible and well-timed remarks which the Editor of The Sun has made upon Mr. Scrope's letters to your Lordship render it unnecessary to reply to them, but I wish to advert to another topic, clearly proving that Mr. Scrope does not understand the real evil which presses upon the population of the sister kingdom: it is this, that Gentleman last session intro duced a Bill proposing to reclaim the waste lands in Ire land, by dividing them into farms o f not more thana 100,ict or less than 10 acres. Why the gr eat evil which s Ireland is the smallness of the farms—out of about 750,000 more than half are under 10 acres in _exten . t, and above than 300,000 are under 5 acres! N in every country, and in every district, whe!e triall o . f w ar , ms are the rule and not the exception, periodical distress does and must occur. The experiments in Holland, in Belgium, the situation of the crofters in the Highlands, and of the peasantry in Ireland, prove that the same cause always produces similar results. In years of pleat) produce is so cheap that rents are with difficulty paid, and are often in arrear ; in years of scarcity the whole crop is barely sefficient to provide the tenant and his family with the means of existence. Can it be a matter of surprise that such a population is at continual war with the landlord and his agents? The inevitable consequence of such a number of small possessions is, that there is no such class as the agricul tural labourer, and the reason is obvious, there is no regular demand for his services. A glance at the actual position of one of these five-acre farmers is quite suffi cient to account for the Agrarian crimes which abound in Ireland—take the case of a man with a family hold ing five acres, and surrounded by a population in similar circumstances—his crop is sown, and both himself and family desire employment, who is to furnish it? His neighbours are also looking for work—none can be found, and then may be seen lounging by the ditch side, doing nothing, because there is nothing to do, the very man who, if he were removed to Landon or to Liverpool, or to any English or Scotch agricultural district, would make a most industrious labourer, and one (I speak from considerable personal experience) far more desirous of task work than either Englishman or Scotchtnan. Re maining at home, the man becomes an idler, and soon furnishes another example of the truth of the proverb, " That the idle man tempts the Devil." His rent falls into arrear—a process is served—he is about to be evicted,, certain ruin stares him in the face, and his landlord or the agent is murdered in mid-day, and the assassin escapes by the connivance of his neighbours, who know not how soon their arrears may be demanded. Assuredly this is not the time to recriminate, or to inquire how it has happened that landlords have per tnitted such a state of things to exist ? The fact is cer tain that they are now sincerely desirous of getting rid of the evil of small farms. If actuated by no higher motive, Irish landlords now perceive that their rental, although nominally larger, is in reality much less than it would be if their property was held by a respectable tenantry, whose farms were cultivated by industrious labourers. Witness the lamentations of - Lords West meath and Dysart—Arcades ambo—Tories both. They, forsooth, require the Government to remove the super abundant population, and then they say all will be well! In other words, they, or their forefathers, having, either I from political or pecuniary motives, induced the location of an excessive population, by the manner in which the land has been set, they now demand to be exempted from the inevitable consequences of such conduct, and propose that all the evil shall be borne by their wretched tenantry. This is impossible! Evil must be endured by all parties who have been guilty of such imprudence, but the greatest share must be borne by the landlord, for he was the most imprudent, and he must be taught the salutary rule, that "property has its duties •as well as its rights;" and that the first of these duties, and the first burthen upon land, is the subsistence of those who have been bred upon the soil. Let Irish landlords act upon this principle, and all will yet be well, for the Government then will, with the approbation of the entire community, cheerfully assist in getting into a better state. The best, if not the only, mode of effecting this desirable end, is to make the situ ation of the agricultural labourer better than that of the occupier of one of these small possessions ; a work of time, but most assuredly not of difficulty. How this may be accomplished shall be the subject of a future letter. Bearing my humble tribute of admiration to the man. ner your Lordship's Government have acted in this moss trying emergency, I have the honour to remain, Your Lordship's most obedient servant, The Right Hon. Lord J. Russell, M.P. R. W. FRENCH CATTLE.—Within the past few weeks, the Steam ships of the Commercial Company running between Boulogne and London, have brought a few head of cattle, generally comprising from ten to fifteen heifers, and two and three head of horned cattle, bur an increase has taken place in them this week to an extent which has caused great surprise to those who were not prepared for such an influx from that quarter ; the steamer Eme rald having brought, in addition to some packages of live plants and vegetables„ and a more than usually large cargo of French silks, wines, and other valuable merchandise, 20 heifers, 51 sheep, 22 lambs, 2 calves, and 17 cows, the production of France. It would ap pear from this, that France is destined speedily to follow in the wake of Denmark, the Hanseatic Ports, and Holland, already, the latter more particularly, so exten sively concerned in the supply of such productions ; and if this unexpected increase in the supply of cattle, par ticularly of the larger description, is to be taken as a criterion of what may be expected to take place from other of the continental states, it would be difficult to hazard a correct opinion as to what we may have to re cord at no very distant period. Another feature pre sents itself in this particular arrival, viz., that a new and distinct branch of business is opened for the steamers trading between London and Boulogne, which will in some measure compensate them for the partial loss of their passenger traffic, owing to many of the public pre ferring to avail themselves, by means of the railway, of the more direct route to the continent. FOSSIL RENL.IIIIS.—On Saturday last Professor Owen (the British Cuvier) and Professor Sedgwick, Woodwardian Professor of Geology, Cambridge, paid a visit to the Dean of Ely, with whom having breakfasted, they proceeded to the residence of Messrs. Bard, Fisher, and Squib, to inspect their collections of fossil remains, which have been greatly added to since the formation of the railway commenced in this neighbourhood, and such was the immense variety in the different collections, that four hours were occupied in the inspection ; after which they proceeded to Haddenham, the residence of the Rev. Mr. Banks, to inspect the vertebrae, ninety in number, of a plesiosaurus, which has recently been dug up at Went worth, and with it were found considerable portions of ribs and phalanges, and there is every reason to believe that, had it been known to Mr. Banks at an earlier period, the entire skeleton might have been preserved ; but sufficient has been discovered to show that it must have belonged to an enormous-sized animal. Amongst the remarkable specimens in the collection was a pubic bone of a plesiosaurus, measuring 32 inches by 28 ; a paddle bone, not quite perfect, measuring 22 inches by 9; as well as several bones of a small species of the sau rian tribe, the teleosaurus, rarely met with.—Cambridge Chronicle. We read in a letter from Riga of the Bth :—" The corn harvest in Courland, where wheat is the chief pro duce, has been this year under the average, but it will be sufficient for the home consumption. As to the pro- vinces which have communications with Riga, the har vest has been good, particularly in wheat. Purchases of wheat have been made in Courland at 0 0f. 50c. per hectolitre, but the merchants of Riga think this price too high, and expect a fall. The export duty is 4f. loc. per last, or 33 hectolitres ; the freight in foreign bot toms is 2F. 50e. per hectolitre, for the Ocean ; to which must be added 21f. per last for loading, &c., and 3 p, r . cent. for commission, brokerage, Szc." From Palermo the 2d, we have the following :—" The annual crop of wheat in Sicily is 5,600,000 hectolitres, and that of bar ' ley 2,750,000. The price of wheat for bread in the parts from which exports can be made is 17f. 2c. per hectolitre, and that of barley 12f. 64c.” ROYAL ARTILLERY, WOOLWICH, Nov. 23.—A few weeks since a Court of Inquiry, consisting of Lieu tenant Colonels Wells, Rowland, and Harrison, and Major Cator, was appointed to inquire into certain'dis crepancies in the charges made for regimental neces saries with various battalions, amounting in some cases to as much as 33 per cent. The result has been that the Court has declared the present charges to be too high, and has recommended that the system at present pur sued, of allowing non-commissioned officers to make contracts, be discontinued, and that in future contracts shall be thrown open to the public in general. It de serves to be mentioned, that a system has for a long - time prevailed, highly injurious to the men, by which some of the subordinates have been in the habit of re ceiving a heavy per centage from the tradesmen for goods supplied to the corps, which has led to additional impositions, so that knapsacks have been offered at 10-1. 3d., equal in every respect to those now supplied at 15s. 6d. FOREIGN POTATOES.—The arrivals of potatoes from the continent of Europe, during the week, have com prised the following, the enumeration of which will be interesting and of importance, as showing the extent to which their importation is carried at the present time : The Magnet steam ship, from Harlingen, brought four packages, and the Ocean steam ship, from Rotterdam, eight packages, the producc of Holland ; the Jeune Josephine, from Boulogne, a cargo comprising 36 tons' weight. the growth of France ; the Jean and Jessie, foom Dunkirk, an entire cargo, comprising the very large quantity of 120 tons' weight, the produce of Nor mandy ; the Sir Robert reel, from Rotterdam, 10 pack ages of Dutch produce ; the Aid, from Boulogne, the large quantity of 60 tons' weight, the production of France • the Rainbow, from Rotterdam, four packages of Dutch produce ; and the steam ship Emerald, from Boulogne, 36 sacks, the produce of France. Of these arrivals, the *suppltes from France and Normandy have been of an increasingly extensive and important cha racter ; those from Holland being of a comparatively trifling description, and calling for no particular re mark. LEITH. —On Friday, the 20th inst., about six P.m ., the wind andeenly ve ere d roun d f rom E $ I , ' to W N W " and ble w a storm. At midnight a small . sl 4 ;op was . ' set; sfroinkinin2gsatlom3oss ton s , b ut She has been a vessel ut whether l a d en or li g h t i s as yet unknown. A t low' b water, her mast i s f our or fi ve feet above the su r f ace of th e water ; but a t hi g h water i t will be invithle, and conse quent l y very d angerous f or b oats and ships, especi a ll y the f ormer. This wreck lies in the !astern part of Leith Road, Nelson's Monument ab ou t half a cable s len gth open to th e westward of N or th ' o h nd Islan t d : ran o : crew, Leith Steeple, and the south end o f a line with Dalmeny House. N o thi n g ana pired regarding the preservation of the 2s yet bit y the worst. The vessel had the letters C.ll. in he r fray the vane . The authorities at Leith wore instantly apprised of the calamity by 'Mr. Vedder, tide surveyor of custom, in order that a buoy might be placed over the wreck for the safety of shipping.—Caledonian Mercury. THE S THE LATE GALES. The storm on Friday and Saturday last, on many parts of the coast, was the most destructive that has been ex perienced for a considerable period. Many of the casualties were of the most appalling character. The American ship Allen, Captain Heighten, laden with cotton and other goods, from New York, in beating up channel, encountered the gale on Friday, and was driven on the French coast between F taples and Bou logne. It was four o'clock in the afternoon when she struck. The men took to the rigging, in the hopes of obtaining assistance from the shore. Ere, however, many hours had elapsed, the heavy sea beat her so vio lently on the sands that she became a total wreck. Un fortunately, the captain, Mr. Heighton, and ten of his crew were washed overboard and drowned. The re mainder, consisting of the mate and five seamen, preserved themselves by swimming ashore, and were necessarily in a very exhausted condition. The amount of her loss is very heavy. Two other vessels, named the Devon and Plymouth, and a Prussian ship, were drivt n ashore about a mile to the eastward, where they remained with every probability of becoming a loss. In the north sea, off Yarmouth, the Humber, Whitby, and other ports, many colliers are reported as lost, and much excitement prevails as to the fate of the crews. Our columns of Monday described several melancholy wrecks under Tynemouth Castle. In the Leith roads a sloop called the Carr Rock sunk, and the whole of her crew went down with her. Off Hartlepool a large num ber of vessels were dismasted, and were knocking about in a very disabled condition. Near the Hasborough lights much damage was sustained. The Hasborough sands were the scene of several shipwrecks, but the loss of life Ras comparatively very trifling. The destruction among the shipping of Milford was enormous. It commenced to blow most fearfully on the 19th from S.S.W., and so continues, varying one or two points, until Saturday. The damage to property on shore has also been very p reat. More than twenty vessels during the storm were driven into the harbour so disabled as to render many of them almost perfect wrecks. The coast for miles bears evidence of the awful character of the gales, spars and pieces of wreck are continually being washed up. In other parts of the Welsh coast the losses were very heavy. At the entrance to Lianelly harbour, two schooners, named the Trader, of Milford, and the Dolphin, of Penzance, struck upon the bar, and almost immediately foundered, every one of their crews perishing with them. None of their bodies have as yet been cast up. In the vicinity of Padstow the gales occasioned much damage, and not withstanding every precaution, much of the scaffolding attached to the Trevose lighthouse was blown away. Off Penzance similar effects were sustained. The pier of this port suffered severely. A Bergen ketch from Irica, laden a ith salt, was hurled on to the sands at Gunwalloe, and in less than half an hour was completely lost. By means of ropes thrown by the Coast Guard of Prussia Cove station, the master and three of his crew were preserved, the remainder (four), however, a ere washed overboard and drowned. A distressing wreck occurred under the rocks about a mile westward of the Isle of Whisthorn, near the Mull of Galloway ; the barque Helen and Elizabeth, of Bel fast, about midnight on Friday, was driven ashore, where she totally broke up, every soul belonging to her, amounting, it is supposed, to fourteen persons, meeting with a watery grave. The Coast Guard, when apprised of the occurrence, hastened to the spot, but the sea ran so high that to render any assistance was impossible, and by daybreak she had gone to pieces. None of the bodies are as yet washed ashore. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 21.—The storm continues with very little abatement. A flag of distress has been exhibited all day on the Eddystone Lighthouse, and in consequence of the severity of the storm, Mr. Ditcham, the agent, has not been able to hold communication with the light keepers. An attempt to approach was made this after noon, in the Diligent tender, but the heavy Atlantic sea and rising tide forced that vessel to put back as night approached. - Intelligence has reached here of the loss of the sloop Ellen, Captain Beach, belonging to Mr. Clark, of Fareham, Portsmouth. She was consigned from Perros, on the coast of France, to Mr. Attril, of this port, with about 35 head of cattle and some poultry, and unhappily went ashore on Friday morning, in Big bury Bay, a little to the west of Mothecombe. The ill fated vessel was quickly dashed to pieces, and all her crew perished. One of the bullocks swam ashore, and the body of one of the crew has been washed on the beach. The Ellen was not above 50 tons burden, and was consequently small for this description of trade at the present season of the year. Nov. 22.—This morning Mr. Ditcham, the agent for lights, made a more suc cessful attempt to visit the Eddystone. There is a tremendous sea in the Channel, and the wind is blowing strong from the southward. After approach ing the lighthouse as near as the boisterous state of the weather would permit, the light keepers were sig. nailed to throw out a letter in a sealed bottle; from this it was ascertained that the distress flag had been kept hoisted in consequence of the damaged state of the lower part of the door of the basement entrance, caused by the great weight of the water, which bad forced itself into the lighthouse at the upper doorway during the storm. Measures are to be immediately taken to repair the damage. LEITH.—On Friday, the 20th just., about six P.M., the wind suddenly veered round from E.S.E. to W.N.W., and blew a storm. At midnight a small sloop was seen sinking almost instantaneously. She has been a vessel of from 25 to 35 tons, but whether laden or light is as yet unknown. At low water her mast is four or five feet above the surface of the water, but at high water it will be invisible, and consequently very dangerous for boats and ships, especially the former. This wreck lies in the eastern part of the Leith Roads, Nelson's Mo nument, about half a cable's length open to the west ward of North Leith Steeple, and the south end of Cramond Island, on a line with Dalmeny House. Nothing has yet transpired regarding the preserva tion of the crew, but we fear the worst.—Caledonian Mercury. At Newcastle, the Sceptre, Captain Ruddock, in taking the bar, got on the point of the rocks, and came in contact with the stern of the Britain, which was entirely knocked in, and the Sceptre went to pieces in a very short time. The crew were enabled to get on board the Britain, but Captain Ruddock, in endeavouring to follow, fell between the two vessels and was drowned. His body was found within a few hours of the occurrence. Scarcely a vestige of the Sceptre remains. A large three-mast ship, with Indian corn, was wrecked at Ballycotton, on Friday morning; nama unknown; crew saved. On Thursday night the town of Clonakilty was visited by the storm. Several houses had their roofs stripped of slates. All the streets were completely flooded, with few exceptions, and the houses had three or four feet of eater in their basement stories, causing much injury to he property of the inhabitants. It is reported that four turf boats were swamped in ,he Shannon, and all hands on board perished. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. --- - _ PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 24.—The Admiralty have or dered the Retribution steam-frigate to be tried under steam by the officers of the dockyard, to ascertain, now she is light, where the weakness in her construction pre vails, and what is the cause of the very extraordinary and dangerous rolling motion which always takes place when she is at sea. Messrs. Maudsley and Field, the contractors, who made her engines and machinery, have been informed that their work has been executed ac cording to the agreement, and it is now the object of the Admiralty to find out why the Retribution is not fit to be trusted at sea. _ . The inquiry on board the Emerald cutter relating to the catastrophe which happened to her by running down a sloop, has been made, and terminated by a full and satisfactory report that no blame was attributed to any one on board her. Her defects will be made good in a few days. The Recruit iroa brig, now in dock at Devonport, has been pronounced to be an unsafe vessel as a man-or-war, rigged and stowed as she is at present. To render her fit for a packet it will he necessary to reduce her masts and yards, land her guns and ammunition, and add twenty tons of sheet lead as ballast. On her passage from Ma deira to Plymouth she was very nearly swamped, having got stern way in a gale of wind. Part of her hammock nettings were washed away. From her buoyancy the most particular attention is obliged to be constantly paid to her helm and steerage. It is quite evident that neither brigs nor steamers, constructed of iron, are safe vessels as men-of-war. The Polyphemus steamer is to have her defects made good at this port, and to be taken in hand immediately. When she quitted Carthagena, her Ma jesty's frigate Spartan was lying there with the Van guard. The Penguin packet, from the Brazils, has brought accounts of the departure of Commodore Sir Chas. Hotham, K.C.8., in the Devastation, for his command at the Island of Ascension; and of the arrival at Rio Janeiro, in two vessels freighted for the purpose, of the officers and crew of her Majesty's late brig Osprey, wrecked on the coast of New Zealand. They are ordered home for an inquiry by court-martial to take place. W OOLWIC H, Nov. 24.—The .lEolus store-ship was towed down the river on Saturday, on her way to Ply ylouth and the west coast of Scotland, with meal for the inhabitants. Commodore Sir J. Gordon Bremer, K.C.B. and arrived at Woolwich dockyard at three o'clock P3l. to day, and was received by Rear-Admiral Sir • Francis A. Collier, Lint., C.B. and K.C.H., Commander Smith, of the William and Mary yacht, and the autho rities of the yard. At the time of the arrival of the Gallant Commodore, Sir Francis Collier, Sir Thomas Basting, Knt., Rear-Admiral Sir Chas. Napier, Lieute nant-Colonel Dundas, C.8.,_ of the foundry department of the Royal arsenal, and Captain Dalyel!, of Green wich Hospital, were on board the Sidon, with Captain I I entierson, C. a, and on landing were introduced to th e Commodore. DUNMOW. —THE DODGE ARTFUL. Last week Mr. Valiance, the governor of the Dunmow Union Workhouse, discovered that the scales for weighing the paupers' bread had some clay fixed on the bottom of the weight side, so that each pauper had upwards of an ounce more bread delivered to him than was allowed. On Friday, James llatley was taken before the Rev. J . . P. 11. Chessbyre, anti the offence being sworn to by one of the inmates as having been done by him, he was committed to gaol for 14 days.—lpswich Express. THR HADDINGTON BURGHS.-011 Friday last it Was officially announced in Iladdington, that at the first general election the opponent to Mr. Balfour of Whit ‘ingham, the present representative of that district of burghs, is to be either Lot r 1 John Hay, brother to the 4larquia of Tweeddale, or Lord Mulgund, eldest son of 14)etlar1 of Minto.— Ro.ss•shire Advertiser. i P 4 PfYRTATION or VENlSON.—Venison, imported whole from Ilamburgh, was offering in Hull shambles on i k Tuesday at &d. per lb. for foreparts; and Is. for haunehea.

DEFALCATION OF A CLERK.—A man named !Con nett' Sutherland, a clerk in the employment of Mr. Charles :mace, meat salesman, Newgate-market , absconded, taking with him money which he had col lected amounting to upwards of 2661. DNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 11-4 e POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MANSION.HOUSE. The LORD MAvott stated that lie had received a letter of which the following is a copy, from a tradesman in Ireland, relative to a firm in London which pretended to procure sums of money for those who might require cash : "Tuam, kith Nov: 1846. "My Lord,—As I presume the inclosed (similar ones having come to other people in trade here) is from sorn fictitious concern established for no good purpose, I take the liberty of inclosing it to your Lordship that you might take such measures as to prevent fraud, if any is intended.—l have the honour to be " yourPAT M obedillUGHent servant, '." The paper inclosed is directed from John street, Lon- ' don fields, and signed W. B. Bosanquet and Co., factors and commission brokers. After stating the extensive bill transactions in which the firm say they are engaged, and the care they take to prevent the bills which they negotiate from having the appearance of accommodation paper, they proceed thus:—" If you deride upon this method of making a remittance for our commission at any time, please to send post-office orders, as it has fre quently occurred that letters inclosing bank notes have never come to hand ; as also a copy of the undertaking, signed by yourself, when you will be remitted such bills for the amount you request, as will not fail meeting your approval. And should you require any bills ou tradesmen or merchants in Ireland, we can furnish you with most respectable bills, either payable at my bankers in Dublin, or the Provincial Bank of Ireland, Old Broad street, London. Any time it should happen you have goods on hand, and find sales dull or difficult, and wish to make trial, by sending us part we will use our best endeavours to turn them into money for you, to advantage towards paying your bills as they become due, or remit you the cash as they are sold ; this we can attend to at any time, whether you require bills or no, having a general shipping connexion." His Loansrur said he had received letters from other parts of Ireland, enclosing like information as to the alleged dealings of the parties who promised so much ac commodation, and whose object appeared plain enough to him, and every man who understood mercantile busi ness in London. Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, said that since he had been in his present situation, several complaints had been made, and copies of the pretended terms of accommoda tion had been transmitted to the Chief Magistrate. In the present instance, however, it appeared that the Messrs. Bosanquet and Co., who had pitched upon a respectable name to trade with, were trying their luck with strangers. Formerly they seemed to be satisfied with taking a round of the provincial towns of England, and scouring London itself. The LORD MAYOR intimated that if any case should occur before him in which he could show the estimation in which he held the transactions of the firm, he should most heartily undertake the exercise of his authority. Several persons were brought before his Lordship upon charges of having smuggled goods in their pos session, and fined in different penalties from 10s. to 40s. each. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of November 24.) SuGmt..—To-day low middling and brown sorts of West India Sugar were freely offered at a reduction on the rates of Friday of 6d per cwt; still they were purchased with much caution for the scale and refining purposes, and the supply is yet good, but strong grey and good to fine yellow sorts were in excellent request, and the prices paid were fully equal to those of Friday, and in some instances rather above. REFECED.—To-day prices were firm for Refined Sugar, and the home demand was good for all descriptions. Brown Lumps, according to quality, fetched 62s to 635, and standard lumps 643 per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted, first sort at 335, but little is to be had. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius submitted to public sale amounted to 8,674 bags of the new crop, and which sold at full rates for good and fine yellow qualities, but low and middling went 6d, and brown Is per cwt lower. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Madras Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 2,595 bags, but little desire was shown to operate, and a small part only sold at about the former varue. bltztLassEs.—Prices are still declining for West India, the demand having been limited at 20s to 26s for low to tine quality, and there is a fair quantity of all sorts at market. East India Molasses are little wanted, and can be had at 21s to 235. Honey can be obtained on lower terms. FOREIGN.—The market has again been scantily supplied with all descriptions of Foreign Sugar available for home consumption, and the deliveries are yet exceeding the arri vals, still no improvement in the value can be quoted, although the stock in first hands is reduced to a small ebb. CoFvsE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was sparingly dealt in privately, and 210 bags iantation at and ion were chiefly taken in. For all other descriptions of Coffee the market has a dull appearance, and the tendency of prices downwards. TEL—lmporters have confidence, and refrained from offer ing any at public sale since our last report. Speculators have come forward with increased freedom, and the trade both in town and country are for the most part inclined to get well into stock, in consequence of the increased probability of a considerable reduction being made in the duty, and Teas being yet much under the cost of importation. RICE.—To -day Bengal Rice met with little attention, and the sound of 1,864 bags at auction was all taken in at about the former value. SPICES.—To -day at public sale 772 bags of Malabar Pepper were only in part sold at easier rates—heavy brown at 3d to 3%d, half heavy grey 2 3 /1 to 2S 3 d, good bright 2%,/ a d, and damaged 2d to 3d. 102 bags of white were taken in at 4d for sound. 53 bags of Barbadoes Ginger sold at 28s 6d for small. 76 bags Pimento taken in at 4ad for good. 9 chests 41 casks 105 bags 10 mats Cloves partly sold at 8d to Oct for old dingy. 34 bags of Pod Pepper sold at 96s to 1018 per cwt. 228 bags Wild Nutmegs at 4d to 6d per lb. FRUIT.—The purchases made in Valencia Raisins have been extensive, and the expected arrivals not coming up, prices have risen from 46s to 475. For Currants the market is very firm, and the demand brisk. Zante and Cephalonia 555, Patras 565. For low-priced Turkey Figs there is muck in- quiry. Sriarrs.—A further increase has taken place in the ' deliveries of Rum, and the stock is yet deficient of that of last year; and this is still cheaper than any other spirit. i Jamaica Rum has been purchased with more freedom, and brought prices fully equal to those of last Tuesday. Prices are firm for Leeward Island, but the supply has become in adequate for the demand. Calcutta is wanted, and but little is to be had out of first hands. Demerara has been sold to a fair extent, and at firm prices. Brandy is not to be obtained upon lower terms, as the deliveries continue large, and the stock on the decrease. For British made Spirits the demand is still as extensive as ever, and prices are firm. lloPs.—ln Sussex the operations have been upon a more extended scale, but factors have been compelled to ac c ep t previous reduced rates. All other sorts met with little atten tion, and there are free sellers upon former low prices. SALTPETRE.—HoIders have refused to submit to any fur ther reduction in prices, but the home and export demand at present is limited for all qualities, and 600 bags of Calcutta at auction were sold at the previous currency, and went at 25s for middling grey 10 per cent. ; 25s 6d to 26s for good yellowish 6 per cent, and at 21s 6d to 22s for sugar damaged. A brisker demand for all kinds, it is expected, will take place shortly. British Refined is still in excellent request at 2956 d to 30s. Nitrate of Soda is wanted at 17s 6d to lBs per cwt. Otis.—Cocoa Nut has met with attention, and brought prices fully equal to those previously current. In Palm there has been little passing privately, and prices are falling. For Linseed Oil further reduced rates have been accepted with caution. In Rape Seed Oil many purchases have been made, but better prices are not obtainable. In Olive only a limited business has been transacted, and lower rates have been accepted. Cod is offered upon rather lower terms; still only a limited business has been trans acted. Seal has been sparingly dealt in, and prices tend downwards. In Sperm few purchases have been made, and holders are desirous to sell, good and fine British at 851 to 881, and American at 841 to 861 per tun. Lard Oil moves off slowly at 371 to 441 per cwt. TALLOW.—Although the town and country trade have been large operators in Russian Tallow on the spot, still a further decline in prices has taken place, 47s 9d to 48s 31,1 per cwt being accepted for fine Petersburgh yellow Candle, and at which there are willing sellers. For delivery up to the end of the year few buyers are to be met with, although 47s 6d to 47s 9d would be taken. There are sellers for spring months at 48s. 3d to 48s 6d, but few contracts have been entered into. Home made Tallow sells freely at 49s to 50s nett cash, but having a plentiful supply there are ready sellers at those rates. Of other sorts of Tal low several parcels have been disposed of privately, but at rather lower prices ; at auction 79 csks of Australian sold, good at 47s to 47e 6d, middling 43s 6d to 46s 6d; 91 csks first sort P. Y. Candle were taken in at 48s, and 10 hhds New York 48s 6d per cwt. There are further arrivals of Tallow. Prices are still higher than last year. SOUTHWARK. A case, which excited considerable interest, and which was adjourned over from the previous day, came on for hearing, in the shape of a summons against Miss Emily Mitchell, for assaulting and obstructing two persons, one a tipstaff of the Common Pleas, and the other the officer of the Queen's Bench prison, in the performance of their duty. Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. J. H. Parry for the defendant. Mr. Sturgeon, also a barrister, attended to watch the proceedings on the part of a gentleman named Herring, interested in the case, and an inmate of the above prison. The complainants' statements in support of the charge were to the following effect :—On the morning of the 19th inst. they were employed in conveying Mr. Herring by a habeas from the Queen's Bench Prison to the Arches' Court, Doctors'-commons, where he was a party in a cause. When they got outside the walls of the Bench, Mr. Herring was joined by Miss Emily Mitchell, and they all proceeded together to their destination. On their return to the prison, when they got to the corner of Holland-street, Black friars-road, the tipstaff and his colleague insisted that the person they had in custody should go down Holland-street, and by that route to the Bench. This, however, was resisted by the defendant, who urged Mr. Herring not to proceed in that direction, but to go down the road. The latter, acting under the in fluence of that advice, expressed his intention not to pro ceed the way the officers wished, and a cab was called off the stand, in which it was intended to place Mr. Her ring. When the vehicle drove up for that purpose, Miss Mitchell placed herself at the door so as to preclude the possibility of placing Mr. Herring within it, and she at the same time collected a crowd by her extraordinary conduct, and, as alleged by the officers, she threw such rash impediments in the way, that they were under ap prehensions at the time that the mob, excited by her behaviour, would have attempted a rescue, and enabled the gentleman they had in custody to make his escape, he at the time being under heavy liabilities as a debtor in the Queen's Bench. At length, however, and after a gentleman was called to render assistance, Mr. Herring, finding matters assuming rather a serious aspect, got into the cab with the dfendant, accompanied by the officers, and was safely lodged in his old quarters. For the obstruction that ensued on the occasion, originating in the conduct manifested by the defendant, the authori ties of the Queen's Bench Prison considered it requisite to bring the circumstances under the. consideration of the magistrate, in order that those officers, having an important duty to perform, should not be obstructed in the manner above described, but protected in the due and proper execution of it. Mr. Parry stated that he had several witnesses in at endance to disprove the statements made by the com• plaining parties, and whose testimony would thereby show that it was a trumpery charge altogether, and got up with a view of persecuting the parties, particularly Mr. Herring, who bad somehow rendered himself ob noxious to the prison authorities—that, in point of fact, that gentleman had actions now pending for assaults committed upon him by officers of the prison in which he was incarcerated. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to cross-examine the tipstaff arid the Queen's Bench officer as to whether they were not influenced by ill-feelings against Mr. Herring to adopt the present proceedings against the defendant. The officers, how ever, denied that such was the fact, and Mr. Parry was about to call forward the witnesses for the defence, when The MAGISTRATE suggested, that as a case of common assault was made out against the defendant, he should therefore adjudge her to enter into her own recognisance of 201. to appear to answer the charge at the sessions, that when the case was regularly before a jury the de fendant could then have all the advantage of her wit nesses' testimony in her behalf. The magistrate's suggestion was agreed to by Mr. Parry, but his client expressed her disappointment, say ing that she was convinced, if her witnesses were heard, the magistrate would decide the case by dismissing it at once, without sending it before another tribunal. An application was afterwards made by Mr. Sturgeon, ou the behalf of Mr. Herring, calling upon the magis trate to compel the two complainants to enter into bail to keep the peace, as he was really afraid of them, and that they threw every obstacle in his way, and, by th, it conduct. tried to persecute him in every possible way. Mr. S ECKER, however, refused the application, and Miss Mitchell having entered into the required surety, was then discharged. WOR SH IP- S E ET. LOVE AND SUICIDE.—On Monday between one and two o'clock, Ellis King, aged twenty-one, servant out ot employ, was admitted into the Charing-cross Hospital, under the following circumstances : She was a fen weeks ago in a situation in the neighbourhood of Wal worth, where she formed as attachment to a young man who promised to marry her, and on whose account she is alleged to have left her place. She went to lodge with some friends at No. 9, Duke-street, Adelphi, when her suitor failed to keep his appointments to meet her upon several occasions, and she became so melancholy as to excite the attention of her friends. On Monday morn ing she went out in an unusually cheerful manner, anti returned almost immediately, exhibiting symptoms of illness ; it being suspected that she had taken poison, she was removed to the above institution, where she was at one pronounced to be labouring under the effects of some cieleterioua potion, and she expired in about an hour after her admission. FATAL VAN ACClDENT.—Yesterday Mr. Payne held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital on Mrs. Caroline Thomas, aged thirty years, the wife of a copperplate-printer, residing in Dorrington street, Clerkensvell. On Friday last, about eleven o'clock in the morning, deceased was crossing Warner-street, when she came in contact with a. van drawn by one horse, and heavily laden. She was knocked down, and fell under the bind off wheel. Her body completely " scotched " the wheel, and she was pushed along the road for up wards of twenty yards. She expired almost immediately. A great number of witnesses were examined, but it ap peared that the driver, who is in custody, used his en deavours to stop the horse, but ineffectually. The house surgeon said deceased died from the injury having caused an effusion of blood in the abdomen. Verdict—Acci dental death. PROJECTIONS OF SHOP -FRONTS; DOUBTFUL CLAUSES IN THE BUILDINGS ACT.—The award of the Official Re ferees, relative to projections of shop-fronts, &c., in volves matter of the most serious importance, not only to the profession, but also to the owners of ground in the metropolis. Without reference to the particular case, the principle therein enunciated is no less than this— that in almost every case of a rebuilding in the city of London, where every inch of ground is so valuable that the houses are split up into small tenements, the owner must, without compensation, or even without any agile qoate benefit to the public, as I shall subsequently show, give tip a portion of his ground, or forego all attempt at architectural decoration. I cannot imagine that the Le gislature, by a side-wind, intended in this irregular manner to widen the thoroughfares, as it would thus only be done piecemeal, at the option ot the building owners; and the lines of streets would present a serrated jagged appearance, like an awkward squad regiment, and be full of nooks and nuisance corners. On the other hand. if the house is set back, the paving committee will take possession of the ground surrendered, pave up to the line of the house, and the inconvenience, if there be any, of projecting cornices, will exist, to the same in jury to the public as before. It appears to me that then= is an ambiguity in the word projections, which, I sub mit, is used in three different senses in the three clauses. In the first, it is applied to architectural decorations, which are allowed ; in the second, to projections which do not form a portion of the building, such as balconies, verandahs, &c., which are also allowed, with a proviso ; and, in the third, to projections which do form essential parts in a building, such as projections on plan (a wing and centre for instance), or projections in elevation, such as bay-windows or corbelled rooms. These are prohi bited unless the house is set back. Ido not propose this as an ingenious reading ot the Act, but as a construc tion of the clauses, which has been held reasonable 1s) many persons, who have endeavoured to rake out sense from obscurity.—The Builder. AN "UNTOWARD' HONEYMOON. —On Sunday evening last a tire occurred near the New Quay, Exeter. by which two houses were burned to the ground, and most of the property contained in them was destroyed. Six families occupied these houses. The apartment in which it commenced was occupied by Henry Rowe, a shoemaker. This man has children who are grown up and do not reside with him. He was a widower of about some three months duration, and had that morning en tered again into the blessed and holy bonds of wedlock. Towards evening the happy party had left for the pur pose of a walk into the country, in order to regale them selves, first, however, placing a pair of sheets before the fire, so that these might be duly aired. Nothing alive, as far as is known, was left in the apartment save a cat, which had b een i n t h e h a bit of reposing itself on the hob. In what way t h e fi re was ca used is not known , but when the happy pair returned, they f ound that indeed there had bee n somet hi ng mo re than an airing of the sheets, since, o n open i ng t h e door, they found these its flames, and w ere th emse l ves m et by a complet e bod y of fire which was driven by the action of th e air against them, and forb a d e a ll attempt for admission, and the) were obliged to spend their honeymoon in witnessing the destruction of their property.—Devonport Telegraph. Awror. OCCURRENCE.—On Wednesday afternoon last, two men named Colborne, a farrier, and George Hosier, a shoer, descended Clandown coal pit, for the purpose of examining a horse which works underground there, and afterwards, as they were ascending the pit, at about ninety fathoms from the bottom, the chain in which they were " slanged," was knocked off the rope by another chain of about 5 cwt., which fell from the top of the pit, and the two unfortunate m en were precipitated to the bottom, and dashed to p i eces . —Bath Journal. It has already been stated, but not officiall y , that the Pope had authorised the constructi on of railroads in his Slates. The decree, however, is now issued. Te railroads determined upon are the following t One t h o the Nea- P" litan frontier, by the Valley del Sasses ; one t:t oru Porto d'Auzio to Rome ; one from Rome to Civita. Vecchia ; and lastly, one from Rome to Ancona, and from thence to Bologna, following the ancient Via Fla ininia-Emilia. The execution of these lines is to he confided to private compaaies.—Galignani. A young man, named Edward Blundell, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with creating a disturbance in the street, and assaulting police constable Siontford, 210 K, in the execution of his duty. The constable stated, that while on duty in Globe lane, Mile-end, at half-past one o'clock that morning, the defendent passed by in company of several other persons, one of whom accused him of improper conduct with a woman, and asked him if he considered that to be his iuty.. He desired them to go home and not create a dis turbance. when one of the party uttered an exclamation " to give it him," and the defendant immediately struck him a violent blow, and knocked him down, in which iosition he was also kicked by one of them. On re Covering his feet he drew out his truncheon to deft-nd himself, and the defendant ran off, but was ultimately raptured, and, after considerable resistance, conveyed to the station. When called upon for his answer, the defendant em - morons witnesses in attendance who would prove that, having detected the po liceman in an act of grosseiTsireoir pr, ntention by taking him into custod), in the hope of escap ing the consequences of his own misconduct. The defendant then called hi s sister-in-law, Mrs. Ise hella Blundell, the wife of a plumber in Chester-place, l3ethnal-green, who stated, that after spading the svening with a family party, she was returning home with several of her relatives, and was about to bid them 'rood night within a few doors of her own residence, when they heard voice s down a dark entry adjoining. On looking down the co urt she directed her husband's . a ttention to the constable and a woman, who were stand ing there, and observed to her husband, that it was a po liceman; on which the first witness instantly turned round, Ind, adjusting hi s dress, which was in a disordered state, ~sked her what business it was of hers, if he wer e a policeman, and, assailing her with a most infamous epithet, told her he would serve her in the same way. tier brother - in - law t hen intimated to t he constable that tie should wait unt il the ser g eant came up, in order t o point out the woman to him, when the woman instantly darted out of the entry and disappeared. They then cold him that they should take his number and report him to his superiors, when the officer immediately pulled out his truncheon, and after flourishing it about like a madman, made a rush at her sister-in-law, who had just come out with an infant in her arms to learn the cause of the uproar, and knocked her and the child down with .uch violence, that after trampling upon them he over balanced himself, and fell forward upon his hands. On tecovering his feet the constable, who appeared to be in a state of great excitement, then commenced springing his rattle, and on the arrival of another officer charged the defendant with assaulting him, and he was forthwith carried off to the station house. Both the infant and its mother had sustained great injury from the violence to which they had been subjected, and the latter, who had se George rib eri been confined to her bed nearly ever since, was unable to attend and give evidence. la orce, John Blundell, the husband of time last witness, and in de st l itr t' t s er i m w s ot t i o m t ' l i i i t: l e a t w ; t d 1 ( :; th D e e transaction last witness, and positively denied that the defendant, or any of the party, had either assaulted the officer or offered him any other provocation than threatening to report him for using such gross language to their female relative when she directed their attention to the im proper conduct of their accuser. On being asked by the magistrate if he wished to offcr fly remarks in reference to the inculpatory statements he had just heard, the constable declared that he had not been in company with any woman at the time spoken of, and that the whole of the testimony against hina was entirely false. In reply to the magistrate it was stated that the officer was a married man, and had always been considered a steady one ; but that he had only been about nine or ten months in the force ; and Mr. BINGHAM, without any observation, immediately ordered the defendant to be discharged. HAMMERSMITH. Francis Smith, an Irishman, was brought up for final 1 examination before Mr. T. Paynter, the sitting magis trate, on a charge of having stabbed with intent to mur der another Irishman named Redmond Barry. The evidence taken at the previous examinations in the case has already appeared in The Sun. The offence was committed on the night of Sunday, the 27th of June, 1841, in Penning's-buildings, a colony of Irish in the High-street, Kensington ; immediately after which the prisoner absconded. lie was now fully committed to Newgate to take his trial on the charge.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A POACHER AT EDMOND CASTLE.—On Friday last a well known poacher in the neighbourhood of Brampton, named John Bell, was net ting hares in the gardens of Edmond Castle, when he was disturbed by a person coming out of the house with a lantern, and supposing that he was discovered, en deavoured to make his escape, in doing which he fell over a sunk fence, about 15 feet high, into the park. Rendered insensible by the fall, he lay till near daylight, and then being unable to stand, he crawled a consider able distance, nearly a quarter of a mile, when he found himself unable to proceed further, and was seen in a very exhausted state about two o'clock on Saturday afternoon by a woman who happened to pass near the spot where he lay. He was at once taken into the Castle, and medical assistance procured ffom Brampton. On examination it appeared that the injuries he had re ceived were of a very serious nature, and after restora tives had been administered he was removed in the car riage of T. IL Graham, Esq , to the Cumberland In firmary, and although hopes are entertained of his re covery, he is still in a state of considerable danger.— Carlisle l'atriot. A COMPLICATION OF DISORDERS.—" How do do how do do, Doctor, I'm dreadful glad I've found you at home ! I want you to give me a steffikit' to get a quart of sperits, to put into some rutes and barks, that I've been getting to cure my peer old carkiss !" " What is the matter with you, madam ?" " Why I've got the information of the liver, and my disguster is out of order ! I'm troubled, too, with the rebellious colic, and have it sometimes so that it seems as if it would screw me all up into knots, and I have a notion of trying these rutes and barks, if I can get some sperits, to see it the medisum won't cure me." " Well madam, you certainly have a complication of diseases, by your ac count : but I don't see how I can help you about pro • curing spirits. Why don't you steep your roots and barks in water !" " Water ? well there, now, that beats all natur ! What's water good for ? Ye can't get the vartue of the stuff out, to steep it in water." The Right Hon.
