An accident of a most serious nature occurred last night about half-past nine o'clock, near the House of Lords, to the groom of Henry Rich, Esq., Member for Knaresbo rough. After putting his master down at the House of Com mons he then took up Mr. Johnson in his master's cabriolet, and, on turning the horse, a high-spirited animal, it began to plunge, and started off at full speed towards Whitehall, knocking down two ladies and three gentlemen in its course, and at last ran against the railings of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch's house, when the cabriolet was dashed to pieces, and the groom and Mr. Johnson were thrown out on the spikes with the greatest violence, which fractured the skull and lacerated the head of the servant in a most frightful manner. Fortunately, at the time, one of his Grace's do mestics came to their assistance, and, having ex,ricated them, had them conveyed to Mr. M'Cann's, his Grace's family sur geon, who was engaged in dressing the wounds of three other sufferers, and, upon inquiry, great hopes are entertained of their recovery, The accounts from the manufacturing districts are upon the whole_ more favourable. The hope is that the late depression has, reached its extreme' point, and an increase of orders, with better prices, is now sanguinely looked for.

For Dutch crushed .Sugar there has been again no demand, and there are sellers at 355. 6d. This afternoon there was ♦ery little busineis doing, either for consumption or exportation, but double crushed cannot be pufchased undor.37s., and lumps rather wider and passing the standard 775. to 78s. MAURITIUS. -The trade have been reluctant Pur:chiisers, and lower prices have again been submitted to ; 160 bags of the new crop sold at 635. 6d. to 645. 6d. for good mid. yellow with strength, the remainder went at 60s. 6d. to 625. 6d. for low to mid. yellow, 565. to 60s. for raid. to good brown ; another parcel of 659 bags has also been offered at public sale, but were all taken in above their value by full 25., fine brown at 60s. 6d. to 615., low to mid. 565. to 595., mid, to good yellow 625. 6d. to 645. 6d.

FOREIGN.-The demand has been very moderate for both Havannah and Brazil, but no further variation in prices has occurred ; White Havannah at 395. 6d. to 40s. 6d. for mid. to good ; 125 boxes rather soft yellow at 28s. to 295. 6d. for low to mid. ; a few chests good brown at 265. 6d. ; Foreign Muscovado, and Brazil, by private contract, the former good yellow at 275., and the latter good to fine strong white at 325. to 345., low to fair 265. to 285., ordinary to fine yellow 235. to 265., ordinary to good brown 18s. to 225., fine 235. COFFER. -This afternoon there was no public sale of British Plantation, and there was less business doing privately, but former rates are supported. Ceylon is less in request for con sumption, 1,430 bags at auction went heavily, and former rates were barely supported, good ord. sold at 85s. a 86s„ fino ord. 90s. a 90s. 61, black 17s. a 295. 4,340 bags Rio only partly found buyers at former rates, fine fine ord. coloury at 445. 6d., good to fine ord. coloury 38s. 6d. a 435. 6d. 12 bales Mocha sold at 85s. for mid. full price. Ruiz, BRANDY, AND LIOLLANDS. -The short stocks of Rum in first hands still prevent much business ; there have again been several inquiries, but the purchases have been only 50 puns. Jamaica at very full prices, 36 over proof at 4s. 6d., 33 over 4s. 4d., and 100 puns. Leewards at a slight advance on former rates, 1 per cent. over proof at 2s. 6d., 3 over 2s. 7d.

Mr. Duff and Mr. Spooner put Mr. Morrison in nomination, and Mr. T. Jones and Mr. Meeking, his opponent. The show of bands was in favour of the latter, when a poll was demanded, which took place and ended yesterday. At the last election the number of votes for Sir James Hamilton was 342, and for Mr. A. Smith, the Reform candidate ' 151. CLOSE OF THE POLL. SUDBURY, Tuesday Evening. Bailey Morrison Majority for the Conservative Yesterday morning, between five and six o'clock, the extensive Printing-office of Messrs. Reynell, in Little Pulteney-street, Oxford-street, was forcibly entered by means, it is supposed, of a center-bit, and after ransacking and break ing open two desks and an iron chest, the thieves effected their escape. The loss was comparatively trifling, as the cash had been all removed the previous evening. Yesterday morning, between ten and . eleven o'clock as Mr. Alliston, a respectable baker, of No. 75, Totten ham-court-road, was in the act of serving a customer to a loaf of bread, he suddenly staggered backwards and fell. Medical aid was immediately procured, but without effect, as life was found to be extinct. On Monday moreing, between nine and ten o'clock, one of the sentinels belonging to the first batta lion of the Coldstream Guards, at duty at the Charing Cross Barracks, was suddenly observed to be seriously ill, and on being spoken to was unable to articulate. He was placed in a cab, accompanied by a corporal, for the purpose of being conveyed to the military infirmary in Westminster, but unfor tunately expired before his arrival there. MIDDLESEX DECEMBER SESSIONS, TUESDAY. —Before Mr. Sergeant Adams, Chairman, and a full Bench of Magistrates.—The calendar contains the names of 76 P I soners committed to the New Prison ; but of these there are only 19 for trial. The inmates of the county prisons were re ported to be generally orderly and healthy, and regular in their attendance upon divine worship. The Chairman briefly addressed the Jury, and congratulated them•on the lightness of the calendar, which would render their labours of very brief duration. Several cases of no importance to the, public were tried, and the Court adjourned. BANKRUPTS.

KEPPEL CRAVEN'S " EXCURSIONS IN THE ABRUZZI AND NORTHERN PROVINCES OF NAPLES." — To all those who have ever " swam in a gondola," and are blessed with glowing recollections of happy days, spent under the bright skies of Italy, amidst the ruins and recollections of classic antiquity, and the monuments of modern art, these volumes will be received with welcome. Every page sparkles with names suggesting agreeable associations , or supplying new facts to fill up deficiencies in the traveller's note book. To all such a -work on Italy, by the son of a gifted mother— one of the pleasantest, perhaps, of our writers of travels—by the friend and companion of Gell, and one who, like him, has passed the greater part of his life in the scenes he has de scribed, can scarcely fail to be read with pleasure. The ground over which Mr. Craven has passed is not a portion of that high road on which our English travellers are wont to play the game of follow my leader, tracing each other servilely by the track, performing the same feats, taking the same leaps, and playing the same antics • or (to drop the metaphor) seeing the same sights and overlooking the same things. To very many the scenes described will be perfectly new. We take leave of Mr. Keppel Craven with hearty good wishes for all success of his work ; and that when he again rides forth on his Excursions, " we may be by to see."—Athenceutn. MRS. GORE'S " MARY RAYMOND AND OTHER TALES."—Speaking of these delightful stories, the Atlas ob. serves—•' We have character in them —a trait of passion— the working of an influence upon the mind—a national pecu. liarity—something that clings to the memory ; and bequeaths its wisdom or its wit to us ever after. The hand of power is visible everywhere, and even in these brief productions, as in her more elaborate works, we are compelled to wonder that such vigorous and masterly conceptions should have sprung from the imagination of a woman—especially of one who sympathises so entirely with the feelings of her own sex." AMERICAN TREES.—Scientific travellers have rc. marked, that the mountains and rivers of America are upon a more grand and magnificent scale than those of the old world ; and that her trees and vegetable productions have a correspon ding superiority, in the luxuriance of growth, and medicinal efficacy, not found in those of other regions. We are indebted to her for some valuable additions to our toilettes, and, among others, the " Balm of Columbia," introduced to us by Messrs. C. and A. Oldridge. This very elegant chemical preparation, extracted from a tree, was first produced in Philadelphia, where its unparalleled success secured it a patronage of the highest respectability ; and when it was brought to this country in 1823, it soon received that stamp of public approbation, which gave it a still higher degree of celebrity. Numerous certificates in the hands of the proprietors prove that itlas the singular and valuable properties of strengthening weak hair, and preventing its falling off; of communicating fresh life to its apparently dead and decaying roots ; of arresting incipient baldness, and causing hair to grow where it had wholly disap peared. Many a gentleman whose head was rapidly losing its natural ornament, has by the use of this balm recovered his locks, and found them curling in more than their wantea luxu riance ; and many an elegant woman who was dismayed at the diminution of her most valuable decoration, has by applying this active restorative, imparted a salutary vigour to her tresses, which have again waved and wantoned in exuberance and beauty. Oldridge's Balm causes Whiskers and Eye-brows to grow, prevents the hair from turning grey, and completely frees it from scurf. Sold wholesale and retail by the Proprie tors, I, Wellington-street, Strand, London, and by most of the respectable Perfumers and Medicine Venders : Price 3s. 6d., 6v., and 11s. per bottle. No other prices are genuine N.B.—The public are requested to be on their guard against Counterfeits, ask for Oldridge's Balm, 1, Wellington-street, Strand, London. On Wednesday evening last a parcel was received by the sexton of St. Lawrence's parish, in this town, which was found to contain the body of a female child, which ap peared not to have survived its birth many hours. The parcel was brought from London by the Telegraph coach, and no trace has yet been obtained of the authors of so revolting an act. There were no apparent parks of violence on the body. --Reading Mercury. (From the Newcastle Journal.) We have the painful duty of recording the particulars of a melancholy catastrophe from an explosion of foul air at Spring well Colliery, near Wreckingtou, four miles from Newcastls. The pit is the property of tl.e Right Hon. Lord Ravensworth and partners. The catastrophe occurred between nine and t-n o'clock on the morning of Wednesday last, when. of 29 m .n and boys at that part of the Hutton seam of coal where Vie blast took place, 27 unfortunately perished, viz., 15 men a d 12 boys. Many of the men have left wives and large famili.s. On Thursday an inquest was held before Mr. Michael Hall (Coroner for Chester Ward), and a respectable jury, at tl,e house of Mr. Thomas Maugham, the Springwell Inn, on the bodies of James Henderson and Thomas Mason. The witnesses examined were, Mr. Nicholas Wood, colliery-viewer, and general manager to Lord Ravensworth and partners for their several works; Mr. George Southern, resident viewer to the Springwell colliery ; Mr. C. Steel, overman to the colliery, and several pitmen who have worked in the mine both recently and formerly. From the testimony adduced, we learn that the depth of the pit to the Hutton-seam is 128 fathoms, and that the dip of the seam of coal is the east, at a decline of one foot in sixteen. After the accident in 1832, every available means were adopted to improve the ventila tion of the mine, the most expensive and effective of which was the formation of a communication from the Spring well Pit to ar.other shaft on the Black Fell, the former being the downcast, the latter the upcast, so as to secure, as nearly as the nature of such works will, admit, a free current of air. The pit nith these improvements, was not considered by the pitmen to be at all " fiery," to use their own ex pressive langusge, but, on the contrary, they deemed it to be quite safe: It appeared, also, that the state of the working parts had been vigilantly attended to; indeed, owing to their strict attention to duty, the resident viewer and the over man, narrowly essaped destruction, as they• had just left the part where the explosion occurred, and were blown down by the after-curient. In similar calamities the imme diate cause of the accident remains shrouded in mystery, but in the present case a discovery has been made which leads to the strongest inference that the accident was so purely accidental, that, it could not have been prevented by any fore sight or prudence. The workings of the pit were in two dif ferent 'parts, called "districts." One of these districts, about a mile from the shaft, and where sixty-one men and boys are at work, was not affected by the blast. In the district where the accident happened, about a mile from the shaft, the operation of working what is called " the whole coal," and " the broken" were going on. To our distant readers we mayexplain, that " whole coal," in mining phrase , me ans t h e seam in its imbedded, unbroken state. In operating upon this the pitmen worked out stated portions, leaving pillars" of coal to support the roof of their subterranean workshop. Eventually these pillars are removed, the roof being temporarily sustained in the meantime by props of wood, and this is called " workingthe broken." This " broken" part of the workings of coal- mines is always considered the most dangerous, from its greater liability to the generation of foul air, and in removing the pillars safety lamps were exclusively used in Springwell Pit. The custom is, however, when working the unbroken seam, to blast it with gunpowder, and in this operation the men used candles. It is in the pillar workings, however, where, notwithstanding - the employment of the safety-lamp and the still further precaution adopted of supplying the men with locked lamps as they went down to their work, that the fatal accident is supposed to have occurred. There remain traces of the fire in the " broken" workings, particularly the scorching of the pit props. Near there, also, has been found the safety-lamp of Edward Price, in such a position as to lead to an inference that it had fallen across the rolley-way, and been accidentally run ever and broken. Thomas M'Nay, waggon-way wright, John Todd and William Potts, pitmen, spoke to finding the broken lamp, and tracing the explosion from the northern extremity, where the lamp was found, V) the south end, and from thence westeard to the whole coal working north to the shaft. The gauze wire and glass of the lamp were broken, and otherwise much bulged in, and the body of Edward Price was found not far from it. The lamp was identified, from the number on it, as being the one the unfortunate man used ; and the breaking of it, in the opinion of the witnesses above named, was the cause of the fire. The jury, after a few minutes' conversation, returned a verdict of " Accidental death." Three horses, as well as the unfortunate men, were killed by the explosion. The workings of the pit were less injured than might have been anticipated. DINNER TO GEORGE BYNG, ESQ., M.P.—Yes terday evening the independent electors of Middlesex enter. tained their old and valued representative, George Byng,'Esq., M.P., at a public dinner at Staines. The dinner took place at the Bush and Clarence Hotel in that town. The chair was occupied on this occasion by S. C. Whitbread, Esq. Mr. Sharp, of Northampton, the celebrated lecturer on cooking by gas, gave a lecture in the Town Hall, Oxford, last week, while the following bill of fare was undergoing the culinary process in his apparatus, In the large roaster, a fine leg of mutton • above it, a rabbit-pie ;in the steamer, three fowls, a cod's flead, two puddings, and a quantity of potatoes; and in a smaller roaster, a pork griskin and an apple tart. At the conclusion of the lecture, the dinner being ready, it was served up in the Council-room to Mr. Sherp and about 30 of his auditors. Among other facts, Mr. Sharp stated that the dripping produced upon the occasion more than paid the whole cost of the fire. PUBLISHING.—My advice as to publishing has often been asked by young poets, who suppose that experience has qualified rae to give it, and who have not yet learnt bow se!dom advice is taken, and how little therefore it is worth. As a general rule it may be said that one who is not deceived in the estimate which he has formed of his own powers can neither write too much in his youth nor publish too little. It cannot, however, bo needful to caution the present race of poetical adventurers against hurrying with their productionsto the press, for there are obstacles enough in the way of publi cation. Looking back upon my own career, and acknowledg ing my imprudence in this respect, I have, nevertheless, no cause to wish that I had pursued a different course. In this, as in other circumstauccs of my life, I have reason to be thank ful to that merciful Providence which shaped the ends that I bad roughly hewn for my self. —Southey. A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at Guild hall, for general business. The Sheriffs presented Reports of the state of the several City gaols. The Lord Mayor laid before the Court a Report from the Water Bailiff, respecting the expenses incurred in the endeavour to raise the collier brig William, which was sunk some months back, opposite Gravesend, amounting to about 270/, and for the Court's directions whether any further expense should be incurred in efforts to remove that vessel. The Court decided, if the ex periment about to be tried this day was unsuccessful, that the Water Bailiff should take proper means for removing the vessel by gunpowder. A petition from Mr. Bradfield, set ting forth sundry complaints of abuses in the coal trade, and the impediments in the river by the number of colliers de tained for weighters, and praying the Court to make by-laws for the Coal-market, was referred to the Police Committee. The Gaol Committee presented a report on having prepared the annual returns to Parliament respecting the several City prisons, which was agreed to, and the Town Clerk directed to transmit the same, with the plans shewing the alterations and improvements effected at Newgate, to the Secretary of State. Commissioners of the Court of Requests, for January next, were appointed. Two aged people were elected into the Rogers' almshouses. Several reports from Committees were agreed to. The Remembrancer reported that a Bill had been brought into Parliament for the consolidation of the Boards of First Fruits, Tenths, and Queen Anne's Bounty. A de putation from the Common Council Committee, respecting the Municipal Institutions of the Corporation, attended, with a resolution requesting a conference with the Court of Alder men on the subject, when the Court appointed a deputation for that purpose. Several persons were sworn, and others allowed to be admitted brokers. Bills and accounts were or dered for payment. EXTRAORDINARY SURGICAL CASE.—In the current number of the Lancet, Dr. Burnes. of the Royal Navy, has placed upon record a case, which equals in interest the celebrated Copenhagen needle case, which attracted the attention of the scientific world a few years since. Robert Syms, aged 23, of her Majesty's ship Belvidera, was placed on the sick list in the month of June, 1831, with a boil on the right side of his back, rather below the shoulder. This was opened, and a black shining substance discovered at the bot tom of the wound. The opening was made larger, and it was found to be a piece of steel, about the size of a ramrod, too firmly bedded to be easily removed. The usual treatment was pursued until early in August, when a free incision was made, and, to the surprise of all present, a two-pronged kitchen fork, broken short at the handle, and minus the loner part of one of the prongs, was extracted. The man declared himself to be totally unable to account for its presence, and there was only a very slight mark on his back, rather re sembling a vaccination spot than the scar of a wound. In the course of November of the present year he again came under Dr. Burnes's notice, when the remaining portion of the prong was found on the left side of the neck, having worked itself a passage from the right side of the back. It was easily re moved, and the man soon recovered. HERRING FISHERY.—On Thursday last there was the largest catch of herrings ever taken in one day at Poulton-le-sands, several boats taking upwards of 30,000 each, and it is supposed not less than 700,000 were caught. The quality of the herrings caught at this late period of the sea son is much inferior to that of the commencement. The season commences in September, and does not usually finish until February.—Lancaster Guardian. FIRE.—We regret to state that another fire, there is too much reason to fear the work of an incendiary, has oc curred at Halstead. About twelve o'clock on the 4th instant a fire was discovered on the farm called Stones Farm, belong ing to Mr. Bentall, and a large double barn, cart-lodge, bul lock-shed, and cow-house, were burnt to the ground. Thee house, which was six rods from the fire, was not damaged.. About 15 quarters of wheat, and 10 quarters of barley, with 15 turkeys, were consumed. The turkeys were intended as Christmas presents, and were eaten by the people sistcd in extingui.hing the flames. The whole was insured in. wh hate a the .Essex Equitable.—Essex Mercury.

With Three illustrative Etchings, by ANDREW CROOKED SHANKS. " Pickwick having breathed his last, (observes the " True Sun" of December 6, speaking of No. 2.) at least in the form of a monthly—what will the town have next? The Blue-Coat Boy, undoubtedly. We know not where to find a more fitting successor. Although the author has not entered deeper than the outskirts of his story, he affords too abundant evidence of that power of mind, which with equal readiness assumes the droll, the serious, and the satirical, to leave the most remote room for doubt of his ultimate and most triumphant success. Many a rich scene is evidently in store for the readers of this publication. The characters of Bounce, and his half-and-half genteel-vulgar better-half, are de veloped with fine skill and discrimination. The etchings, of which there are three in each number, are of themselves worth double the price of the publication. Abel Funnefello deserves his name richly, and will soon be heard of from the Lizard's point to the Orkneys." London: Effingham Wilson, 88, Royal Exchange, and all Booksellers. NEW PUBLICATION OF THE 141NCYCLOPIEDIA BRITANNICA, 11 In Monthly Half Volumes. A REPUBLICATION of this great NATIONAL WORK, in Monthly Half Volumes, price 18s. each, will be commenced on the Ist of January next. The high reputat►on which it has maintained throughout the Six Extensive Editions which have already been disposed of, and more especially the peculiar favour with which the present Edition, re modelled in all its departments, has been received, render alike un necessary any detailed explanation of its plan, or commendation of the manner in which it has been executed. A provision of twelve thousand pages of stereotype plates, and of four hundred engravings on steel, afford ample security that the publication will proceed with the most rigid punctuality to the completion of the Work. In Paper, Typography, and beauty of Embellishment, as well as in the Literary value of its contents, the present Edition will be found very far superior to all which have preceded it. The style of Binding will combine elegance with durability ; and the conve nient intervals at which the Parts will appear, recommends the Work in an especial manner to those who wish to combine the ad vantage of a periodical supply of instructive and interesting reading with the permanent possession of a great authoritative Repertory of all the Departments of Human Knowledge. A Prospectus of the Work will be found inserted in the leading Magazines and Review, published during the months of November, December, and January.
