ir- 4 G RAND BANQUET to MR. COBDEN I AT CADIZ. We have been favoured by a correspondent with a copy of the Comercio of Cadiz of the 11th instant, which /contains the following account of a grand banquet given 2he day before to Mr. Cobden, M.P., in that great corn -mord/al city, by various merchants and proprietors of the plaee:L - - The banquet was prepared in one of the beautiful sa loons of the Casino , giv en u p for the purpose by the society of the establishment. The table was adorned with fine flowers, and covered with rich dishes and a great profusion of fruits and sweetmeats. The saloon, lighted with three magnificent i n beautiful chandeliers, and a number of other lights, which burnt candelabra, presented a magnificent coup d'ced to the spectators. At half-past five P.M. Mr. Cobden arrived, accompanied by his friend and fellow-traveller, Mr. Sails Schwabe, of Manchester, and by Don Jorge Urtetegui, a.respectable merchant, and a friend of the great English League leader. The latter, we learn, was the first to conceive the idea of giving t o Mr. Cobden, thi?fite, a pro'of of the lively sympathies entertained for his doctrines in Spain. At six o'clock the festivul commenced. Don Jorge von sided, supported by Cobden on his i i rte ht _ teg an d Jose Melia Elizalde on his left. There also prsent at different tom' ts of the table the w for owing gentlemen :—Mr. J. Duncan Shaw, Mr. C. Haurie, Mr. D. Macpherson, Don Julian Lopez, Don Juan de Dios • Lasante, Don Juan Escribano, Don Manuel Ruiz Tagle, Don Jose Lopez Bonal, Don Manuel Docava y Casal, Don Jose Nicolas de Oveido, Don F. G. d e Arboleya (the editor of the Comercio), the Marquis d'a Urena, the English Consul, Dr. Bodman, Don 'Manuel Quesada, Don Joaquim Urtetegui, Don Jose Maria Aguirrevengoa, Don Manuel Marzan, Don F. Mendez, the Count de Casa Brunet, Mr. Daniel O'Ryan Don J. P. Gomez, &c. There were alto gether forty-four persons present, all gentlemen of his; n , standing in society, and for the most part, interest !.4 commerce. The table was most luxuriantly spread, the dishes numerous and exquisite, and the wines (both native and foreign) of the very richest and - raciest quality. The Count de Casa Brunet, who 'was intrusted with the chief duties of caterer, left nothing omitted that could add either to the splendour of the scene or the pleasure of the guests. After dinner, when the animation and mirth of the guests were at their highest pitch, the President, Don Jorge Urtetegui, rose, and proposed, " The healtha of the Queen of Spain and her Royal Family." Senor ELIZALDE then proposed " The health of Qtteen Victoria of England." Both toasts were drunk with enthusiasm. The PRESIDENT then rose and said,—Gentlemen, I am about to propose a toast which I am sure you will all drink with much pleasure ; it is the health of the illus trious guest who this day honours this table by his pre sence,—"Mr. Richard Cobden,—may Heaven prolong his life, so as to unable him to behold the complete triumph of his sound doctrines throughout Europe as he has already done in England !"—(Loud applause from all the guests, which lasted some minutes.) Mr. COBDEN then rose, and the uproar immediately subsided into a solemn silence, testifying at once the curiosity and impatience of the audience. Mr. Cobden, of course, spoke English, but the majority of his hearers understood that language pretty well ; nor were the beauties of his peroration unperceived ; it was fre quently interrupted by bravos and spontaneous acclama tions. The following copy of Mr. Cobden's speech is a translation from the Castilian version rendered by Senor Urtetegui :—" Gentlemen, I feel that I am unable to testify my gratitude for so cordial a reception in a language understood by all present. I ate not surprised to see that the commercial principles which I have main tained in England meet with partisans in Cadiz. It is to those principles, and not to their humble advocate, that you are at this moment rendering honour. The supporters of free trade in England have only had one object in view, which may be summed up in a single word—liberty !—(Loud applause.) We found our trade subject to a thousand restrictions. The laws on all sides limitued individual operations. Our merchants and manufactures carried their spirit of speculation to the utmost extremities of the globe ; but on returning to their own country, laden with the pro duce of foreign climes, they found themselves repelled from their own shores by absurd and restrictive duties. It was in order to put a period to this interference of the law against the rights of individuals that the English League was formed. We resolved to confine to its just limits the interference of the laws, for ever resisting the action of the Government in protecting or regulating trade, and leaving to each individual the most complete liberty of exercising his industry. Such was the object of the League, which has been at length attained after a struggle of seven years. From now henceforward, no merchant in England can see himself thwarted by the Governmnt in his e; .t 3rprises, under pretence of protect s; the interests of certain classes, either at home or in the colonies. All enjoy an equal right to operate with entire liberty, but nobody holds any privilege over his fellow-citizens. I deem it useless, gentleman, to say a single word for the purpose of convincing you how favourable freedom is to commerce. All history proves it. Let the different nations of Europe compare notes, and we shall find that in all of them commerce flourishes or declines in proportion to the freedom or restriction it encounters. Compare a seaport enjoying a freedom of trade with another which is deprived of that blessing, and the sam e diff erence w ill b e man i fested. All of you will remember, gentlemen, that during one year Cadiz enjoyed extraordinary prosperity; you will have present to your minds the great number of ships that adorned its ample bay—the rest traffic which animated its streets, and filled its magazines with the products of all climes. What was the cause of this magical change in Cadiz ? Its climate—its port—its products, were - the same as ever; but there had been one alteration which explained all this prosperity. For one year Cadiz was a free port! —(lmmense applause.) In all countries there are par. ticular interests which are alarmed at liberty. In England our agriculturists were frightened into fits at the bare idea of a free trade in corn; yet now they laugh at the groundlessness of their past fears. In Spain, gentlemen, you know, perhaps, manufacturers i❑ Catalonia who turn pale at the name of free trade; ye:, nevertheless, they will live to laugh in the same way as our old antagonists, the agriculturists of England. Never have I known any trade which has been preju diced by liberty—(Applause)—but I have seen many perish beneath the destructive shadow of protection; none, on the contrary, fail to be invigorated by the salu brious breezes of freedom.—(Renewed applause.) If you think, gentlemen, that Spain may prosper by adopting the policy which now prevails in England, you ought to employ the same means that were put in practice by us in order to enlighten public opinion in favour of free trade.—(Marks of acquiescence.) It is necessary that you should promote discussion on the subject by every possible means. He who may be convinced of the truth of our principles ought to deem it a duty to convert kis fellow• citizens. Great truths, no matter whether reli gious, political, or philosophical, are only propagated by individual exertions. It is useless, Gentlemen, to hope from your Government for measures of free trade whilst the people remain unvinced of its advantages. In my opinion almost all the Governments of Europe are more advanced than their subjects in the knowledge of economical questions ; they are only awaiting the re moval of the obstacles opposed by ignorance and preju dices, in order to walk in the path of commercial liberty. I see, gentlemen, around this table many gentlemen who I am certain, will zealously devote themselves in the pro pagation of those sound and economical doctrines, and I assure them that, however far from them I may be re moved, I shall always take the greatest interest in their labours. I will conclude by proposing as a toast, The ancient city of Cadiz.' "—(Loud cheering.) A number of other and shorter speeches were after wards made in favour of free trade by Mr. Schwabe and some of the Spanish gentlemen present. At length, Mr. COBDEN rose and rendered his thanks, in a friendly and festive style, to the President, Senor Urtetegui, for the hospitable reception he had been fa voured with. The guests then adjourned to an adjoining apartment, where, over coffee and liqueurs, more toasts were pro posed, all present testifying their zeal in the cause of free trade. It was nearly eleven o'clock at night before the meeting finally broke up. DISCOVERY or A SKELETON.—On Saturday morn ing a skeleton was found in the highest state of preserva tion by a young man of the name of Simon Ladbury, who was digging in the chalk for flints at the back of borne cottages on Chatham-hill. It was discovered be neath some pieces of rotten boards about three feet below the surface, and was lying in a twisted position with the right arra over its body. The tibia of the right leg was fractured, and it was considerably shorter than the other. It was evidently the remains of a very large man, and, in the opinion of a surgeon to whom it was shown, must have been lying in the chalk between thirty and forty years. A very old inhabitant recollects, about forty years ago, that a man named Hooker, a notorious smug gler, who lived near the spot in a cottage, was missing, and from certain circumstances that transpired, it was considered that he was murdered, and that his body was made away with, for he was never heard of. The coroner considered an inquest unnecessary, as the body had evi dently been buried many years. On Saturday, as the tug steam-boat, the Rouen, of 160-horse power, was getting up her steam, at Quille beuf, to proceed to Havre, one of her boilers burst, and the boiling water rushed with such violence against a Custom-house officer, named Debusserol, who was stand ing near the boiler, that he was scalded to death almost instantaneously. The engine-man and one of the stokers Were severely scalded. EARTEQUARE.—We learn from Ormes, in the Vienne, that on the 14th instant, from twelve till half t, successive and sharp shocks of earthquake were felt in that commune, and within six or seven leagues sound, each lasting about four seconds. The inhabi tants, in their alarm, fled out of their houses, and the lon employed on the viaduct over the Creuse, for the Bordeaux and Tours Railroad, fancied that the construc tion was falling down ; but, happily, no damage was done there or elsewhere.—Galignani. Unusual exertions are making at the seaports for procuring men for the ships newly-commissioned.

Other circu• astai ices have assisted to bring about the same end—i coni inued demand for wheat for shipment to Freya ( in the Eng l ish markets ;or i larit 3 purchases made Irish , account, and last, though 'not least, S. - growing cone , ' kaki's that the pro bable arrivals of . oread-stuffs from America have been greatly overrated. The advices received from the United States since we adverte ci to this matter are calculated to confirm the opinion we then expressed; for though the shipments from t he other side of Oa Atlantic will unquestionably be large, they are not likely to be nearly so great as was at one ti-,„ e sup posed. While on this subject, i t may not 3. ..)e amiss to take notice of a paragraph wl tich eared in the 'a Money Article of the Times of a; a, pp ;reaay. It is there stated, on the authority of a Ne that considerable uneasiness ha d t York correspondent, Jeen created in that city in consequence of the exp hits of flour to Europe, and that fears were entertain , ell that after the close of the inland navigatioei, byt_vw)- elch supplies from the in terior would be . cut *4, tur J stocks on the spot might prove inadegr.at© fg. thy , use; and it was even deemed ants of New York might have fi th ca e ur inab fromg ,cants to satisfy their wants possible re ib j, 4 m t p l , 4 ra a t s pring. In how far there may be any real grounds for this statement we are unable to determine; and as he startling changes which the opinions of our co temporary have lately undergone on matters relating to the corn trade, has caused it to be, regarded by all mer cantile men as a somewhat erratic and unsafe guide, whatever emanates from that paper is now very naturally looked upon with suspicion. T.'he weather has through out the week been highly ea,vourable for outdoor occu pations, and the sow 4 ,ng of wheat has been steadily pao ceeded with. Thi' important work is now fast drawing to a close in all the southern parts of the kingdom, and even in the north great progress has been made. The areadth of - land put under this crop is likely to be fully as great as in ordinary seasons; but whatever effect . this may have upon prices next autumn, it can have no in ' fiuence at present, except indeed by causing a larger quantity of wheat to be used for seed, lessening the stocks in the hands of the growers. At most of the leading provincial markets held during the week, the trade in wheat has been decidedly firm ; and at several of the principal consuming towns, as well as at the large markets in the agricultural districts, higher prices were realised towards the close than were obtainable in the commencement of the week. The re ports from Liverpool of Friday are, however, of a rather subdued tone ; and though several purchases of fine wheat were made there by the millers from the west, the demand for low qualities for shipment to Ireland, having fallen off, the latter descriptions barely sold so well as on the previous market day. By advices from Ireland we learn that several cargoes of Indian corn had arrived at the principal ports, which had caused a material decline in the value of that ar ticle. Some increase appears also to have taken place in the supplies of corn from the farmers ; which, with the receipts of wheat, &c., from England, and the employ ment afforded by the Board of Public Works, had com bined to alleviate in some measure the misery and want previously so prevalent. Whether we shall receive sup plies of oats from the sister isle we have no means of ascertaining, but for some time past the arrivals have been very scanty, and by the most recent accounts, ti would appear that very little was being shipped either to London or Liverpool. Scarcely any increase has taken place in the arrivals of Wheat into London, the quantity received coastwise up to Saturday evening having amounted to only 2,833 qrs. The show at Mark-lane by land-carriage samples from the neighbouring counties has been still more trivial. On Wednesday the Essex, Kent, and Suffolk stands were quite bare; and too little business was, con sequently, done to afford a just criterion respecting prices. On Friday there was a few runs fresh up, which were placed without much difficulty at the full currency of Monday last; still there was not much activity in the demand, and factors were unable to establsh any advance on previous rates. The smallness of the English supply has caused somewhat more attention to be directed to free foreign wheat ; and in addition to what has been taken for local consumption, several purchases have been made by country buyers, besides which a purchase or two have been made of low qualities for shipment to Ireland. Under these circumstances somewhat increased confidence has been manifested by holders; and so far from any further depression having taken place, the firer sorts have been held at slightly enhanced terms. The stocks of free wheat at this port have been considerably reduced of late, and we question whether the quantity remaining in granary now exceeds 300,000 quarters. The advices received from France this week are rather animated ; and there has been an inquiry for bonded wheat to ship to that country: owing, however, to the high terms generally demanded, few bargains have been concluded. The arrivals of wheat from abroad have been to a fair extent, 6,705 quarters having come to hand during the week ; and a good many vessels laden with this grain, bound for this and other British ports, having lately passed the Sound, further supplies are pro bably close at hand. The sale of town-made flour has been dull throughout the week ; the prices at which the metropolitan bakers are selling bread are relatively lower than those asked for flour ; hence great unwillingness is manifested to buy the latter except for immediate use. Ship samples have moved off steadily at former terms ; and for Ame rican, whether free or under lock, the demand has re cently improved. The market has been sparingly supplied with English Barley; and though the malsters have conducted their operations with much caution, fine qualities were fully as dear at the close as in the commencement of the week. The value of distilling and grinding sorts has also been tolerably well supported ; but the continued receipts from the north of Europe, and the expectation of further supplies from the same quarter, have rendered the di , posal of all but the best somewhat difficult. The business done in malt has been of a retail cha racter, sellers having in most instances insisted on higher terms than buyers have been willing to pay. The sales made have, however, been closed at similar prices to those of Monday last. We have again to report an extremely small arrival of ,home grown oats. From our own coast only 313 quarters, from Scotland 1,600 quarters, and from Ire land 894 quarters, having come to hand. Meanwhile the foreign supplies have rather fallen off than increased, 9,689 quarters having come to hand this week, against 21,244 quarters the week preceding. The dealers, whose ,tocks are not by any mean , large, appear to place their dependence on receiving assistauce from Ireland, calcu lating that in consequence of the long-continued easterly winds, same quantity may have accumulated and been kept back, which a westerly breeze may bring to hand. Neither on Wednesday nor Friday was the demand by any means lively ; but the greater part of the foreign lately arrived having been either sold from on board ship, or landed on account of the importers, factors were not anxious sellers, and in partial instances a trifling advance was realised on fine corn. The future range of prices will depend almost wholly on what may reach us from Ireland; for though a few foreign cargoes are likely to drop in from time to time, the receipts from abroad,tvill not, we think, be of sufficient magnitude to keep down quotations if the sister isle should be unable to send us the regular quantity. Beans have excited very little attention since our last; and though in some cases offered rather below Monday's quotations, buyers have acted on the reserve. The mildness of the weather has affected the sale of peas, and both English and Foreign have receded about ls. per qr. in value. Having hardly any Indian corn on the market, the transactions on the spot have been of little moment ; some business has, however, been done in cargoes to ar rive, generally at reduced terms, the quantity on offer having been rather more than equal to the demand. The advices from the Mediterranean are important this week ; and from the character of the accounts;from chance it would appear that there is in reality very little chance of large supplies of wheat being received in Great Britain from any of the countries lying east of the Straits of Gibraltar. The accounts from the Baltic ports are not of much interest this week, and prices of wheat do not appear to have undergone much alteration in that quarter. At Stettin on the 26th of November, holders of wheat were still very firm, the small supplies brought forward by farmers having barely sufficed for the local consumption. At Hamburg, on Tuessday last, there was a good deal of activity in the wheat trade, upwards of 5,000 quarters having been bought (principally from France) since to preneding post day ; the price had varied from 545. to 575. per quaater according to quality. Several contracts for parcels to be shipped from Baltic ports had also bee n c l ose d at from 51s. to 535 . t p e er ha q v n e ar b t e e e r n , f n r e e a e ily oie board. Th e stoc k s of barley appear exhausted at that port by previous shipments, and the demand contin u i ng , 38s. to 40s. per quarter had been asked for Saale.—Mark Lane Express. PROCEEDINGS AGAINST A CLERGYMAN UNDER THE CHURCH DISCIPLINE ACT.—A commission, issued by the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells, according to the provisions of the Church Discipline Act, consisting of the Venerable Archdeacon Brymer, the Rev. William Proctor Thomas, Prebendary of Wells, Rural Dean, and Rector of Urtheridge and Wellington, Somerset ; the Rev. Frederick Berkeley Portman, M.A., Prebendary of Wells, Rural Dean, and Rector of Staple Fitz-Paine, Somerset; the Rev. J. Edwin Lance, M.A., Prebendary of Wells, and Rector of St. Mary Buckland, Somerset; and Ambrose Lethbridge, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, as sembled en Monday last, at the Grand Jury Room, Taunton, against whom charges of a very grave charac ter are preferred. On the part of the Rev. defendant, Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Stone, who appeared for him, applied to the Commissioners for permission to conduct the inquiry with closed doors, a request with which the Commissioners immediately and unhesitatingly complied. Mr. Shillibeer intimated to the Commissioners that the Rev. defendant had threatened to indict some of the witnesses, whose evidence was most material, for conspiracy, in the event of their stating anything tend ing to damage his character; so that in behalf of those persons he requested that they might remain in Court during the inquiry. This was objected to, and the wit nesses, as well as Mr. Shillibeer, were ordered to with draw. The inquiry will be conducted in the same man ner as that i n t h e case o f t h e Hon. aria Rev. Mr. Monck t on, in London, some time since, and is expected to last seTerg days. PORTUGAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. :SIS,--Any one acquainted with Portugal and the e) L aracter of the Portuguese, must read with surprise the unfounded and exaggerated reports that are published of the affairs of that interesting but unhappy country ; and as your columns are ever open to the appeals of truth and justice, I venture to address to you a few suggestions which a knowledge of the country and recent information supply. Since the loss of her vast colonies Portugal has vainly struggled to maintain a system inconsistent with her re quirements and beyond her means to support. The great and romantic struggle which destroyed the heartless despotism of Dom Miguel, and established the authority of the Queen and the charter, was succeeded by a boundless enthusiasm, during which the victorious party naturally sought to indemnify themselves for their many sacrifices. At the same time the sympathies of England were en listed in favour of the constitutional regime, and loans were granted to an amount exceeding the credit and weans of an exhausted country to repay ; and the Go vernment, elated by a success beyond all expectation, lavished honours and pecuniary rewards on the brave but craving instruments of its triumph. The premature death of the great and patriotic Dom Pedro developed the ambition of rival parties, and Por tugal became again the prey of cupidity and intrigue. Each successive Administration had to contend with in creased difficulties from the exhaustion and forestalment of every resource, until the expedients of Agiotism failed to afford the scanty supplies of even a temporary budget, and there was no longer any choice between a national bankruptcy and a vigorous taxation. A talented but unbending Minister attempted the latter, and presented a system of finance whereby the exigencies of the State, including the charge of the foreign debt, appeared, at least on paper, to be amply provided for. But Portugal, the former mistress of the resources of Brazil, had never felt the pressure of direct taxation, and it was soon found that the new system could be enforced only in the towns under a well-organized authority, whilst the rural districts opposed, as by common consent, the measures of Costa Cabral, whose downfal was as sudden as it was destructive of the prospects of the Govern ment. The Ministry of the Duke de Palmella was rendered an impossibility by the total absence of money or credit, and it became an urgent and unavoidable ne cessity that another change should be effected. Thus it is altogether vain to ascribe the recent events at Lisbon either to French intrigue or to any want of faith on the part of the Queen, who has been unjustly charged with the having betrayed her engagements to the people, because she hesitated to satisfy the sense less demands of rebellion. But when Palmella totally failed to obtain the resources necessary to carry on the Government, no alternative was left to her Faithful Majesty but to call other respectable men to her counsels, and her present advisers, with the best general in Portugal at their head, possess strong claims to the confidence of the country. It was the fate of Donna Maria to inherit a crown encircled with therns, the chief value of which con sisted in the proud recollections of a dazzling renown, so gloriously won by the discoveries and conquests of the Portuguese, who have never incurred any forfeiture of their title to our admiration. They betrayed no degeneracy when they baffled the pride and threw off the yoke of Spain ; nor, still more recently, when they emulated the high bearing of the British army, and their courage and devotion were re-echoed by the Aripeles and the Pyrenees. Descending, however, from the proud titles of national glory, it may be safely asserted that the Portuguese have the strongest social claims to our respect and sym pathy, as in no country of the world have British resi dents been treated with more consideration and confi dence than in Portugal. We may lament the apparent harshness of some temporary measures imposed upon the Queen by a stern necessity, usually attendant on civil war, and still despise the hypocrisy of those who affect to whine over the pretended subversion of Portuguese liberty, whilst they themselves seek by intimidation to swell the ranks of insurrection with the victims of anarchy. How do they shew their respect for constitu tional guarantees when they surround, and even forcibly enter, the consular residences at Oporto, in search of " suspected persons," as they call the respectable men attached to the Queen and the charter. And when our own venerable countryman, Mr. Noble, so well-known for his benevolence and integrity, during a residence of a length of years at Oporto, was lately savagely wounded to the extent of endangering his life, they allowed the assassin to escape on the pretext that he mistook the sufferer for somebody else. And this is the party we are now called upon to espouse in opposition to those who in other and more difficult times established the strongest claims to our lasting gratitude. Are there no living testimonies of the assistance and protection given to the English on the disastrous occasion of the invasion of Portugal by the French, in 1807 ?—no grateful witnesses of the cordial aid afforded by Sobastiao Correa, Conde de Terena, when he not only protected the persons of the English, but in disregard of his own safety and of all existing regula tions, he allowed and facilitated the removal of their pro perty, to save it from French rapacity. How are these facts to be reconciled with the syste matic abuse of the Portuguese, and how are we to ac count for the supineness of those who, having expe rieuced the friendship, have neglected to vindicate the character of our faithful allies. The Portuguese have struggled to keep faith with the English bondholders by the payment of such amount of dividend as they could raise, and which could only have been raised by the in definite postponement of the more ancient, and, by innu merable hypothecations, the more sacred claims of their domL stic creditors, as the total abeyance of the paper money of Portugal may testify. The revolutions of time may have done much to diminish the political im portance of our alliance with Portugal ; but even now 4e cannot be indifferent to her fate without disregarding the claims of her con,tant good faith. Nor can our interests fail to be deeply affected if we abandon the Douro and the Tagus, and thus lose a con siderable commerce, which is still carried on with Por tugal upon terms of facility and advantage denied to us by other countries of Europe, which are now engaged in the spread of combinations, with the view to curtail and ultimately to destroy the trade in our products and manufactures. If due attention were given to these really important considerations, the misinformed or un reflecting public would be less prone to view with indif • ference the misfortunes of a people possessing so many titles to our esteem. London, Nov. 23, 1846 • PHILO JUSTITI2E. P.S. Since writing the foregoing letter, advices from Lisbon announce the issuing of a decree, making the ❑otes of the Lisbon Bank a legal tender, and subjecting to heavy fines all who refuse to receive them, or attempt to make contracts payable in coin. No doubt there will be losses inflicted on creditors and on the holders of bills of exchange uho have given equi valents for a payment in metal, which they will now only realise in a depreciated paper money. The same result followed the Bank Restriction Act in this country, and parties so situated suffered a loss in amount equal to the advance in the market price of gold, which occurred in the interval of their reimburse ment. Yet no one ever heard of indemnities being given in any shape to persons whose interests were so injured. - But as to the fines imposed by the Lisbon decree they are characterised alike by folly and violence, and from their obnoxious character it may be expected that they will be at once rescinded. [The writer of the above is known to us as having been long resident in Portugal. We insert his letter upon the principle of audi alteram partem, although we by no means coincide with him in the opinions which he entertains. We have no faith in the honesty or patri otism of Costa Cabral or of Saldanha, or of any of the Afrancesado or liberticide faction.—ED. Sun.] GREAT INFLUX OF SHIPPING.—The easterly winds which prevailed for several days detained a large num ber of vessels in the Channel, and business in the docks and river was for some time at a stand-still, and up wards of 5,000 labourers were out of employ. The late change in the weather, and the westerly winds for the last five days have brought up the homeward-bound fleet, and on Monday and Tuesday upwards of 300 vessels were hauled into the West India, London, St. Katha rine's, Grand Surrey Canal, and Commercial Docks. They consisted of East and West Indiamen, ships from Australia, Van Diemen's Land, the United States, and the Continent. The St. Katharine's Dock is now un usually crowded ; thirty-nine ships were docked there on Saturday and Monday, and ten yesterday. The London Dock is also very full of shipping. All is bustle and activity in the various docks and wharves along shore, and the services of several thousand labourers have been put in requisition in delivering and warehous ing cargoes of merchandise, the product of every quarter of the globe. The late Major-General Sir Thomas Valiant, K.C.8., late of Calcutta, a Colonel in her Majesty's army, has left all his landed estates in India, and personal pro perty there, to beinvested in the names of trustees, the interest and dividends to be paid to his wife, and to hold the principal in trust for his sons and daughters, except . the eldest son. The acting executor at Bombay M, T. Kays, M.D. Dr. John M'Andrew and Captain John Maeduff, both of her Majesty's 40th Regiment, of which Sir Thomas was Lieutenant-Colonel, are his executors for his property in India lying on the south side of Chumbal. He executed his codicil in 1843, in camp Khoune and Aughenal. His freehold and personal estate in Englaffd he also leaves to his wife for life, and at her decease the freeholds to his eldest son, Captain Thomas James Valiant, of the 40th Regiment, and to his issue, and the personalty he leaves among his other children ; also annuities to his brothers and sisters. The acting executor in England is Dr. R. H. Kennedy, late physician to the Government of Bombay. On Thursday the Senatus Academicus of the University of Edi n b urg h met in the Senate Hall, an d inducted Cosmo In nes , E sq . , A . 8., advocate, Pro f essor of Universal History, in the room of Professor Ferrier. translated to the chair of Moral Philosophy and Politi cal Economy in the University of St. Andrew's. The Senatus Academicus of the University of St. Andrew's, on the 15th inst., unanimously conferred the degree of LL.D. on the Right Hon. Lord Campbell, formerly an alumnus of that university. CORN RIOTS IN TRANCE.—Some curious corn riots have taken place in the department of the Indre-et- Loire. On the 17th, a miller of Mettray, on going to bring away a quantity of corn ho had purchased of the mayor of Cerelles, was assaulted by a body of 200 people from Semblancay, who insisted with threats that it should be gi ven u p t o th em a t th e i r own price ; and although the miller complied, he was ill-treated, and obliged to fly for safety. On the 19th, similar disorders took place at Neuill6 Pont Pierre. This assemblage amounted to GOO persona. Troops were sent to these scenes of outrage, and it is said that they are entirely suppressed. WATERFORD AND KILKENNY RAILWAY COMPANY. The half yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway was held yesterday afternoon, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street; the Hon. P. S. Butler, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that the first contract, embracing a distance cf 51- miles from Kilkenny to Bennett's-bridge, was nearly complete, and it was proposed to lay the rails on that portion within a few weeks. Another con tract, including a heavy viaduct, had been let, and it was anticipated the works would be so much advanced in March nest as to admit of the line being opened from Kilkenny to Thomastown. The directors proposed to make the meeting special, for the purpose of taking powers to borrow money. Negotiations had been going on with the Government for a loan, but owing to the intricacy of the machinery with which the Board of Works had been trammelled, they had as yet proved unsuccessful. Hopes were entertained, however, that Government would shortly see the expediency of advancing money to expedite the progress of lines in the position of the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway ; and if those hopes were realised, the whole of the line could be proceeded with without any call being made upon the shareholders till June, 1847, when it was pro posed to call up 31. per share. It could only be done, however, by the indulgence and assistance of the share holders ; and unless the arrears of calls were called up, the line must stop at Thomastown, and even the open ing of the line to that extent would be much delayed. Several shareholders complained of the complicated manner in which the accounts were kept, and of the ex penditure being extravagant, and eventually, after a lengthened discussion, the report was adopted, and a committee appointed to inquire into the state of the ac counts, and to report upon the future prospects of the company. Power was then taken to borrow money from the Go vernment, and the meeting terminated. MADRID AND VALENCIA. RAIL WAY COMPANY. Yesterday, at twelve o'clo c k, an a dj ourne d genera l meeting of the proprietors of the Madrid and Valencia Railway Company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. Mr. Chadwick took the chair. The SOLICITOR read the case which had been sub mitted to counsel since the last mee ti ng . Th e case en tered into are the particulars connected with the attempt to constitute the company, with which the public are already familiar. The principal points submitted to counsel were the following:— " Ist. To suggest to the company what steps the directors ought legitimately to adopt to effect a dissolu tion of the company. " 2d. What majority of shareholders in London could dissolve the company. "3d. How the company should be dissolved, suppos ing the English shareholders had not the power." Messrs. Robert and Whaley, the counsel to whom the case was submitted, were of opinion that the English directors had no power to alter the constitution of the company, that it could not legally be dissolved in Eng land, and that it was affected by the Spanish law, no English Act of Parliament, applying to railways, em bracing it. The CHAIRMAN deeply regretted the unavoidable absence of Dr. Bowring, who on the occasion of the last meeting had suggested the course which the di rectors bad since pursued. He for one would do all he could to carry out Dr. Bowring's views ; but, from the opinion which had been submitted to them, they would learn that very serious obstacles lay in the way of their putting an end to the company as had been desired by a large body of the shareholders. He was in a position to state that negotiations were pending with some large capitalists, by which, if carried into effect, the discontented shareholders would be paid off. As soon as the arrangement was duly perfected a public announcement would be made, and a meeting of the shareholders called. Beyond that nothing could be done by the directors, who would for their own sake do all they could to promote the affairs of the company. Mr. DRURY understood from the speech of the Chair man that the directors were in treaty with some men of capital: that agreement if carried out was tantamount to a sale of the line, and he moved that the directors be empowered to sell the line immediately.—(Uproar.) Mr. BIGG thought the meeting would have a diffi culty in adopting any substantive resolution, and advised a delay. Mr. LINDow could not avoid attaching blame to the directors for having promised to the proprie• tors in February last, and so late as July, that the Spanish money would be forthcoming. If the Spanish shares had been forfeited, according to the terms of the letter of allotment the Spanish people would have had nothing to do with the line, and they would then be in a condition to dispose of the company. But he was of opinion that the proprietors in England could dissolve the company, and felt surprised, knowing Spain so well as he did, that the Spanish people were such fools as to have anything to do with the line. A long conversation ensued upon the propriety of allowing the Spaniards extended time to pay up on the shares allotted them, which was ended by Mr. HARVEY rising to move the adjournment of the meeting. In the course of some eloquent and humo rous remarks he made upon the affairs of the company, he disclaimed impugning the integrity or the talent of the directors ; he firmly believed they had done all they possibly could to promote the interests of the propietm.s. But ho thought they were entitled to, and could obtain, better terms ; and as to there being any difficulty about dissolving the company, he considered that exaggeration had been indulged in to intimidate them from proceeding vigorously. In the Cornwall and Devon Central a similar difficulty had been started to impede dissolution, but, although he had been thwarted by the directors of that company, he had filed his bill in Chancery, and, although beaten on a de murrer before the Vice-Chancellor, he had appealed to the Lord Chancellor, and the effect of that movement was, that he had, a few days since, been paid for the shares, premium and all, together with the costs of the suit, by the directors of that company. They were not in a worse position; and he advised them to wait, and by all means repudiate the negotiation of the directors at Madrid. He would take 28s. per share down, and a reversonvy hope of what might be got out of Spanish honour ; or he would take 303. down and sign a general acquittance and discharge. The Hon. Proprietor's very characteristic address was loudly cheered, and the adjournment carried by ac clamation, the time not to exceed six weeks, to be in the discretion of the board of directors.

THE LANDED ARISTOCRACY. (From the Times.) The question has been frequently asked—and it calls for an answer—what the country gentlemen are to do in the next, and probably the next two or three sessions. Whatever is meant by " the country gentlemen," they certainly seem just now rather out of work. The natural class so called—they who risk their necks in keeping up with the hounds, and their fortunes in experimental agriculture—have latterly been a little put out in matters of government. A county magistrate is nut the thing that he was. As for tke political body which still rejoices in the designation of " the country party," it has still less to do than the class which it professes to represent. It is not yet a twelvemonth since Mr. W. Miles boasted, of course with some degree of truth, that " the country party" had a prevailing voice in the Legislature. A brief review, however, of what has been done in the Legislature during the last twenty years gives great importance to the question, what is the country party to do ? The country party has in its day taken a very decided and vigorous course against Roman Catholic emancipation—against a reform of the House of Commons—against the emancipation of the ne gro—against municipal reform, and against ecclesiastical reform—against liberal educational measures—against concessions to the Dissenters—and, to pass over some minor affairs, against the repeal of the corn-laws. Its opposition has not been unprofitable, nor entirely un successful. Unquestionably we should have gone very much farther, and fared very much worse, had it not been for the Conservative drag. It has saved us from not a few excesses and errors. It is evident, however, on a very cursory view of the period, that on the whole the battle has gone against the country party; and still more evident, that nearly all, if not quite all, the ques tions to which the country party devoted its attention, are now settled for an indefinite time. All the classes and interests of the realm seem to have taken out new leases from the State. After much bargaining and liti gation, the terms are now settled, and are not likely soon to be disturbed. No suitor appears in court. We were promised a revival of the question last mooted, viz., the corn-laws; but the unfortunate plaintiff finds his case hopeless, for his grievance has vanished. If any subject, is disposed of—for the present, at least—it is agricul tural protection. What, then, is " the country party" to do? The difficulty is aggravated by the fact that the country gentlemen and the country party remain in their original integrity and splendour. Nay, it admits of a question whether the former, at least—whether the landed aristocracy of England —are not more thoroughly established, more influential, more admired and wor shipped, than they were twenty years since. At any rate, the gloomy predictions as to the speedy desolation of the circle in Hyde-park, which a brilliant writer in the Quarterly pronounced on the passing of the Reform Bill, have been the reverse of fulfilled. Go where you will, into country or town, never were the aristocracy in such feather as now. Never were their houses, their equipages, their yachts, their amusements, their enter tainments,in such splendour. What is still more to the purpose, never did they show so much energy and talent. Many of them derive enormous revenues from an almost direct partnership in gigantic mercantile, manufacturing, or mining undertakings. Many are able statesmen, or distinguished for eloquence, poetry, or science. They are mutually connected in a great family compact, not to use that term in an invidious sense, of unexampled extent and power. They are connected also by intermarriages with all the wealthy, able, and enter prising in the country. They are not only respectfully, but cordially and eagerly invited to contribute their names and their talents to almost every kind of public institution or design. They are most of them men of business, and able to prove at either desk or council-table, platform or committee, that their capacity is equal to their rank. What is more than all, or rather the proof and token of all, is, that they seem to have survived the more carping and malignant forms of envy. If the merchants and manufacturers of this country have a weakness, it is in aspiring too eagerly to the acquaint ance and standing of the aristocrcy ; not in any wish to lower the class to which they are themselves too anxious to rise. Such are some of the features which constitute a description of natural ascendancy which the world cannot equal. That such a body will do a great deal is most certain, for such powers cannot lie in abeyance. Hence the greater importance of the question, " What will it do?" The dozen peaceful revolutions which have given alternate terror and repose to the last twenty years have been accomplished, happily, without damaging the aristocracy. We will not now inquire how this has been done. In France the ecclesiastical esta blishment and the aristocracy perished at a blow. The nobles and the clergy were guillotined or banished. In other countries the pride, the corruption, the ig norance, or the idleness of the privileged classes cut them out of all share in the social progress, and made them the victims, instead of the controllers, if not the authors, of reform. In the B r iti s h em pi re there has tort been that good understanding, that friendly inter mixture, that cordial co-operation of classes which has prevented the most successful triumphs of the one from being the unqualified defeat of the other. The baffled have not met with either ruin, injustice, or insult. The most exploded causes have had their locus penitentice, the severest Parliamentary defeats have had their compensa tions. The unhappy victims of each successive revolu tion, instead of wandering over the earth as exiles, or going over to the camp of the stranger, are found in a few short months oblivious of their wrongs, in the un diminished enjoyment of all their private, and, perhaps, even their public, dignities and prizes. Such at least is the case at this moment. The tremendous reverse of last session, which was to have been the end, if not of the world, at least of the British aristocracy, has passed over harmless. It swept the skies like the tail of a comet, and collision, conflagration, or deluge, was most confidently anticipated. The comet went by, and we are where we were. It is true that another calamity has intervened. But what is the lesson of that mysterious visitor ? It tells us how much more powerful Heaven is than man ; and how much more a few ani malcula can effect than the most important legislative systems or repeals, and the most powerful combinations of man. While the minds of all are intent on the pro digy, our own quarrels are forgotten. What, then, are the landed aristocracy to do ? The first of all their offices, privileges, and powers remains almost unscathed by the storm. They have now more call than ever to do that which lies at their own doors, and which none can do so well as they. The improvement of the labourer is their first duty. An Augustan age begins, and if our villages need not keep pace with the transfiguration of a metropolis, they may at least pass from penury, disease, dirt, and moral degradation, to abundance and health, to cleanliness and comfort, to order, purity, and religion. It is in the power of the most wealthy aristocracy in the world to elevate the sons of the soil, and the ancient in stitutions of the country, though ever so much tampered with, still leave it in the power of the landowner to give the labourer employment, and poverty relief. The almshouse, cruelly disguised and depraved as it has lately been, is still open to the inspection of the magistrate, and the interference of the agricultural representative or the hereditary lawgiver. The aristocracy can at least do this. If they only ask, they will not be denied the im• provement of the poor. Their estates, their villages their dependants, their local position, their prestige stil are theirs, and are all they require for the undertaking MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday William Haddell was indicted for an as sault upon George Salter, the steward of ono of the steam-boats. The prosecutor, very early in his evidence, began to give a different version of the affair to that which ap peared in his statement before the magistrate at the police-court, whereupon the depositions which he had signed at that office were handed down for him to read out to the jury. The prosecutor read very glibly until he arrived at that part where he had commenced a dif ferent statement on the present occasion. He then made a stop, and pretended that the writing was so bad he could not make it out. The Learned JUDGE—Come, go on; the writing . is very clear. Do you not find that you told the magis trate that the defendant, when you opened the door to him, asked for his wife, saying that you had got her there? Prosecutor—Well, I don't say that he did say so. The Learned JUDGE—No, I know you do not say so here; but did you not say so to the magistrate? Pro secutor—Thank you for the explanation and question, but I don't say that be did say so.—(Loud laughter.) The Learned JUDGE — Co me, si r, tell th e truth. W .) as this man's wife in your room when he came? Proscutor —Why, I cannot say but she was. She had just come in, and was telling me how her husband had been thrashing her in Bow-street. s. The Learned JUD GE—Come, tell us how long a a d she been living wit h y ou? Prosecu tor — Why,about week perhaps. The Learned JUDGE—What! living with you as your wife—another man's wife? Prosecutor. .Why, what harm? they had been agreeably separated. The Learned JUDGE—And she was living with you as your wife? Prosecutor—Now, how could she be my wife when she was the wife of another man? The Learned JUDGE—Why, by acting as a wife to you, although not married to you. Prosecutor—Oh—ay—thank you for the explanation —yes, it might be so. The prosecutor was ordered to stand down, and then the policeman said that when he arrived at the house the ' woman was in the room, and the defendant, who had a poker in his hand, said that the prosecutor had got his wife, that he had come to fetch her away, that he had given the prosecutor a good licking with his fist, but had not touched him with the poker; and that upon exa mination of the latter instrument, he had been unable to discover any mark of blood, although the prosecutor's face was covered with that gory liquid, in addition to which his head presented two fine full black eyes. The Learned JUDGE, in leaving the case to the jury, told them that in law the defendant was guilty of the assault. The law did not allow a man, even though in search of his wife, to commit an assault by thrashing the rnsti"vho might happen to be livin7 with her. They would have the kindness to say whether, in their opinion, the assault had been committed with the poker or with the fists. The jury found the defendant Guilty of Wing com- Juitt94 the moult with hi 430. The Learned JUDGE sentenced him to pay a fine of Is., and to be discharged; and, at the same time, told the prosecutor, that if he had the hardihood to commit the crime of living with other men's wives, it was not at all unlikely that he would meet with a thrashing from the husband ; at all events, he should be prepared for such a visitation. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTZMOUTII, Nov. 25.—The Count Kornitoff, Cap tain in the Russian navy, has since Sunday last been sojourning in the hospitable mansion of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief, who has been unremitting in his attentions. The Gallant Captain has had all the Government establishments exhibited to him, has visited the Excellent, and yesterday went out in the Avenger, a distinguished party of scientific officers ac companying him. Flag-Lieutenant Robertson, of the St. Vincent (who is selected by Sir Charles Ogle to do duty as his Flag-Lieutenant during the illness of Lieute nant Collier, who, we regret to say, met with an accident whilst riding), has been in attendance upon the Count during his visit. The Retribution steam-frigate, in charge of Lieutenant Crozier, of the royal yacht, and a party of men from the flag-ship, has been taken out to-day on a similar trial as the Avenger yesterday. The Rattlesnake, surveying ship, Captain Owen Stan ley, bent sails this morning, and will go out to Spithead on Monday. The Se;lark, 10, Commander Gooch, was at St. He lena on the 6th ult. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 24.—The barque Emma, of Ply mouth, Captain Spicer, has just arrived from Quebec, which she left on the 23d ult. This ship experienced the effect of the storm of the 19th instant, when about two hundred miles west of Scilly. Her bulwarks and stanchions, boats and cook-house, were carried away, her decks swept, five of her crew drowned, and two others disabled. WOOLWICH, Nov. 24.—The Avon steam-vessel, Captain Denham, is to be paid off here on Saturday, the 28th instant. It is as gratifying to announce that on the first board-day after she reached England, the 13th inst., her commander, Henry Mangles Denham, F.R.S., was promoted to the rank of post-captain. The Gorgon steam-vessel, Commander Crouch, has delivered over her stores to the authorities of the dock yard, and is to be paid off on Thursday, the 26th inst. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master Commander Petley returned to Woolwich on Saturday, having towed the Belvidera store-ship from Deptford to the Downs, on her way to the coast of Scotland with a supply of meal for the inhabitants of that part of the kingdom. The Lightning left Woolwich again this morning for Sheerness to bring up the luggage of Commodore Sir J. G. Bremer, K.C.8., and K.C.11., appointed to succeed Rear-Admiral Sir Francis A. Collier, Knight, C.B. and K.C.H., as superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS. henry G. Simpson, lieutenant, to the Rattlesnake ; J. R.

THE LATE GALE. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 24.—The storm has somewhat sub sided ; weather thick, wind westward, with occasional heavy falls of rain. Yesterday Mr. Ditchem, in the Diligent, Trinity tender, made an effectual landing on the Eddystone rocks, and supplied the lighthouse with plank, fasten ings, &c., to form a temporary door in substitution of the one damaged by the storm of the 19th inst. The barque hilton, of Newcastle, reported yesterday from Montreal, with upwards of 4,300 barrels of flour, first experienced the gale from the southward, in lat. 50 N., and lon. 11 W., on Thursday, the 18th, com mencing at tern o'clock at night, when the ship was put under close-reefed maintopsail. At two o'clock on the morning of the 19th it lulled, but at three, with the wind from the westward, the storm returned with double fury, laying the ship's main-hatchway in the water. The lee bulwarks and stanchions were strained, deck ring-bolts drawn, water-casks and spare spars adrift, and the waves pouring down the half deck hatchway. Some of the crew were washed off the ship and washed back again. It was so dark, and the sea ran so high, that it could not be distinguished from the sky. All appeared a mass of water. The wincr brought the ship's head up to the sea, which broke right over the jibboom end. One heavy sea broke right abroad, swept away the guys, and tore the boats to pieces. The lee bulwarks, from fore castle to taffrail, gave way, the barque went on her broadside, and all hope of safety for the ship or crew was given up by most on board. As a last resource her mizen and main masts were cut away, she was put before the wind and providentially righted. A t daylight on Friday there were 10 feet water in the hold, and this shortly after increased to 15 feet, being within three feet of the upper deck. In addition to the terrors of the sea outside the vessel, their fears were in creased by the surging from side to side of the casks of flour in her hold. In this disabled state, with their sails blown to ribands from the yard, they eventually reached Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. ller cargo is almost all spoiled, and will of course be immediately landed. EXPLOSION OF FIRE-DAMP NEAR PRESTON.-EIGHT LIVES LOST. A most dreadful explosion of fire-damp, accompanied with serious loss of life, happened at the coal mine of Mr. John Hargreaves, jun., at Buxton Burgh, on Tues day morning last. It appears that about five o'clock on the above morning the men were as usual going to their work in the mine, the " firemen" having first gone down into the pit. In a few minutes after the men en tered the mine an explosion took place, when, melan choly to relate, eight of the work-people lost their lives. Some people attach blame to the fireman, who, it is said, has not a proper knowledge of his duties; whilst he, on his part, states that the men entered the works before he certified that the pit was fit for them to enter. The explosion took place the moment the workmen entered the pit. The following are the names of the unfortunate suf ferers :—Thomas Halliwell and his daughter, Jan e llalliwell—left a wife and four children ; Seth and Win. Turner, 23 and 25 years ; William Wilding, aged 16 ; Mary Booth, aged 12 ; Jane Moss, aged 25—left one child. Injured—James Booth, dangerous; Thomas Gra ham, ditto ; Thomas Farrimond, Thomas and Joseph Farrimond (his two sons), Richard Lomax. There were from thirty to forty other miners in the pit at the time in other directions, who were considerably alarmed at the shock of the explosion, and who could not venture for some time into the neighbourho o d o f t h e mine where the bodies were lying. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAy.— Last night, between the hours of nine and ten, an acci dent of a most remarkable character, but which was fortunately unattended with loss of life, took place on the South-Eastern Railway, between the New Cross station and the London- bridge terminus. It appears that at the time before stated the servants of the com pany were alarmed at seeing an engine and tender pro ceeding up the line, at a most furious speed, and as no whistle was sounded, they became apprehensive that something had happened to the driver of what they believed to be the train from Brighton or Dover. The signal of danger was exhibited, but there being no one on the engine to shut off the steam, it dashed at a furious rate against the breaks at the end of the station, and smashed the springs, while the engine and tender were completely destroyed. Several persons who stood on the platform had a narrow escape of losing their lives from the burning coke and hot water, which were scattered on all sides. As soon as the smoke and dust had cleared away, the engine and tender were seen doubled up, and reduced to a mis-shapen mass, the head of the tender being lifted up and forced into the stone work or windows of the station. Workmen were employed to clear the wreck ; but, owing to the great weight, it was expected that it could not be effected for several hours. The engine, it appears, started from New Cross ; b u t h ow t h e steam was turned on could not be ascertained. TRADE OF THE AMERICAN LAKES.—Those who have never witnessed a forest of masts in an inland port, like Buffalo, could be gratified with an exhibition of this ' nature to-day, by simply walking along our dock. We have never known the creek so crowded as at the present moment, and when we state that there are now in port 134 steamers, propellers, brigs, and schooners, the ton nage of which ranges from 100 to 1,140 tons, and that there are some 23 steamers, wLile several of the others are brigs of 330 tons and upwards, it need not be won dered that with the increased extent of our marine this season, we should find our facilities for shelter and tran shipment inadequate to meet the exigencies of the case, In consequence of the crowded state of the harbour, business is almost at a stand. Purchasers are unwilling to operate unless they can see a probability of sending forward their produce, and until we have a change of wind there can ba little chance for canal boats getting alongside of either warehouse or vessel. Something must shortly be done to enlarge our harbour, and the sooner our citizens and those more personally interested in the matter set about it the better.—Bzfifale Advertiser, Oct. 22. ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, a poor woman, who appeared to be in the most abject state of destitution, threw herself into the Serpentine. Mr. Strutt, one of the p ropr i etors of the Lyceum Theatre, was riding by at the time, and saw her arm above the water, he gave an alarm to another gentleman who was at a short distance, when, with his assistance, she was drawn to the side. The Humane Society's men then came up and took her to the receiv ing house. She appeared quite dead, but we have since learnt that animation was restored.
