SOLICITORS—Messrs. Vaux and Fennell. ENGINEERS. Alfred Giles, Esq. ; Beveicke Blackburn, Esq. SECRETARY — Henry Amsinck, Esa. A direct communication between the metropolis and the en trance of the Thames, where a safe and commodious tide-dock, ac cessible at all times of tide, may be constructed for steam-vessels, Whether bound to foreign ports, coastwise, or to the watering places on the opposite shores of the coast of Kent, with a landing place for fish, at an hour's distance from the market of London, is a desideratum attainable only by means of a Railway. From a careful survey it has been ascertained that - Shell Haven (proposed to be called Thames Haven) offers such a situation, with a depth of water sufficient for the largest ships, and presenting advantages for the construction of docks nit to be eund iff any other part of the aber. As the inclinations of the Railway will &peculiarly favour le, it has been calculated that coals may be brought into London at a considerable diminution of the present prices. As the best line from the metropolis, is that proposed by the Eastern Counties Railway, as far as Romford, Passengers will be conveyed on that portion of their line without requiring any change of conveyance during the whole of the journey. The remainder of the Railway will pass through a rich and highly-cultivated country, within an easy distance of Southend and the fertile Hundred of Rochford. Although the extent of the probable income cannot be stated with accuracy, the basis of the calculation is sufficient to justify the conclusion that it will be large and liberal, as will be seen by consi dering that the returns will be derived :-- 1. - From the conveyance of Passengers to and from all parts of the Line, exclusive of steam-boat passengers. 2. From the conveyance of Goods and Parcels. 3. From the conveyance of Agricultural Supplies, meat, and ge nerally, the produce of the country, in all the varieties required by the great market of London, and of the supplies required in return. 4. From the conveyance of Fish to the London market. 5, From the conveyance of Passengers to and from steam-boats, a distance of 26 miles by land, in little more than one hour, at a moderate charge • the distance by water being 35 miles ; And, eventually, from the carriage of Coals, particularly for the consamption of the metropolis. The annual number of Passengers to and passing Gravesend by steam-vessels , being calculated at 1,70 0 , 000 , of whom about one half proceed below Gravesend, there can be little room for doubt as to a large proportion of the latter availing themselves of this cheap and rapid conveyance by land, combining as it will do, every facility that can be desired for embarking and landing. A Railway, as projected from Herne Bay by Canterbury to Dover, would complete the chain of communication by steam- Power between London and those places by a direct route, and when completed, cannot but add materially to the use of the Thames Maven Railway. It is intended to make application to Parliament for an Act of Incorporation in the ensuing Session, the requisite notices having been given, and the Plan, Section, and Book of Reference lodged with the proper authorities. The Provisional Committee will now Proceed forthwith in the appropriation of Shares. All measures deemed necessary preparatory and previous to the Passing of the Act, will be conducted by the Provisional Com mittee, who are to have the control of the fund constituted by the deposits. Applications for Shares to be made (if by letter, post paid) to Alessrs.

The following are the particulars of the above melancholy occurrence, as collected by the Rev. Mr. Poole, chaplain to the Marquis of Salisbury. They may, ,be relied on as an authentic statement of facts. Between four and five o'clock the female attendant of the late lamented lady left her apartment. The Marchioness was at the time occupied is writing a note at a table, upon which were three lighted candles. Whether the flame came in .contact with any part of her dress, or whether a spark from the fire ignited it, cannot now be ascertained. Soon after five, the alarm that the -Dowager Marchioness's chamber was in' flames, was communicated by the housekeeper to his Lordship, who, with the Marchioness of Salisbury, were in their private apartment. They both immediately ran in the direction of the chamber of their aged relative. On arriving at the foot of the stairs, the smoke was so dense that Lady Salisbury could proceed no further. Lord Salisbury rushed along the pas Sage to his mother's room, and was in the act of entering it, when he was met, by one of the men servants, who had succeeded in opening the door, but was immediately driven back by the smoke and flame. Lord S. pushed past this domestic, who attempted to hold him back, and with the utmost intrepidity and determination persisted in making every effort to rescue her from the flames. Foiled in this attempt, he ran round to another staircase, but, unhappily, every effort was in vain, and he was obliged to abandon all hope of entering the flaming chamber. Lady Salisbury meanwhile was left in a state of the most anxious sus pense, not knowing whether he had succeeded or perished in the attempt. -The fire soon made rapid progress. The adjoining apartments became one sheet of flame, which burst through the windows and the ceiling to the room above. The wind was blowing towards the house, and one apartment after another fell before the destructive element, and the greatest apprehension was felt for the safety of the whole of the magnificent pile. A party-wall, of very great thickness, divided the burning ruins from the chapel, and every effort was direcled to prevent the flames from finding an ingress to it. The'chapel being placed at the extremity of the Western wing, adjoining the gallery, which forms with it a right angle, nothing, humanly speak ing, could have saved the remainder of the building, had the flames ever found an entrance into this wainscotted apartment. Fortunately the progress of the flames was checked. Nothing but a mass of blackened smoking ruins is, however, now to be seen to the South of.the chapel. This part presents a melancholy contrast to the East wing, which still remains in all its former massive grandeur. A deep feeling of horror is connected with the desolate ap pearance of the ruins, arising from the certainty that the remains of her who for more than half a century reigned mistress here, have found a tomb amidst the ruins of the palace over which she presided. The scene around the house during the progress of the fire was terrific. Pictures, books, furniture, lying about, engines galloping in every direction, the alarm bell ringing, and lead pouring from the roof in torrents. The flames were also bursting forth from every window from the around floor to the roof of the building. Inquiries meanwhile were eagerly made among the crowd whether the Dowager Lady Salisbury had been seen since the fire began, and when it was certainly known that she had perished, the scene of terror, confusion, and dismay, was beyond the power of description. It was not until twelve o'clock that the flames were entirely subdued. Every Gentleman in the neighbourhood was present, and his Lordship's numerous tenantry also rendered all the as sistance in their power. A deep feeling of sorrow and gloom now pervades all ranks, who unite in deploring, this awfully sudden termination to the long protracted life of one who for so many years had on all occasions proved a friend, to whom the poorest might appeal in their distress with the certainty of meeting not only prompt relief, but with the kindest sympathy. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. On Monday next will be published, in 1 voL Bvo. NATURAL EVIDENCE of a FUTURE LIFE, derived from an Examination of the Properties and Actions of Animate and Inanimate Matter. By FREDERICK C. BAKEWELL. Lately published, by the same Author, in I vol. 12m0., ss. 6d. PHILOSOPHICAL CONVERSATIONS ; in which the Causes of daily-occurring Phenomena are familiarly Explained. London : Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, Green, and Longman. _ . Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of business, the Lord Mayor havinz expressed his determi nation not to al!ow the public to be incommoded by any delay. _ _ _ ANCIENT VOTE OF THE SILVER CRADLE. Mr. WIRE rose to give notice of a motion which he anticipated the Court would allow him to bring on before any other business was transacted. It was for the ap pointment of a Committee to inquire into, and ascertain, the most advisable course of testifying their satisfaction at the birth of a son to the Lord Mayor on Saturday last.— (Laughter and loud cheers.) Alderman SCHOLEY informed the Court, La a very so lemn manner, that it was formerly the practice of the Cor poration to vote a silver cradle for the fortunate baby. - Mr. WIRE rose to move for the appointment of the Committee, and all the Aldermen, and all the Deputies, and a member for each Ward were appointed immediately, and entered with alacrity upon the delightful task. THE NAVIGATION OF THE THAMES AND PORT OF LONDON. The following memorial was presented to the Court : " To the Right' Honourable the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons, in Council assembled, the Memorial • of the Wharfingers, Owners, and Occupiers of pro perty on the banks of the Thames, And otherS con nected with the Navigation of the Port of London. " Sheweth—That your memorialists, being principal occu piers of foreign, public sufferance, and coasting wharfs, have seen with alarm a notification of intended railways from Lon don to Blackwall, which they conceive, if carried into effect, must in a great degree divert the trade now carried on at dif ferent wharfs by your said memorialists, to a point of commu nication five or six miles from the metropolis, and thereby pro. duce the most injurious consequences to your memorialists, all of whom are more or less concerned or engaged in water-side property, or with the shipping connected therewith. " Your memorialists, therefore, humbly submit that to place them in a situation fairly to contend with such powerful capi talists it is more than ever necessary that a convenient and safe approach be preserved through the port for the shipping fre quenting this port. It is, therefore, with regret your peti tioners have been given to understand that the by-law for re gulating the port of London, which requires that an unob. strutted passage through the port should be preserved of the width of not less than 300 feet, is not to be enforced, but in lieu thereof a passage of only 250 feet is to be kept open. " Your memorialists think it necessary, in this petition, to set forth the great increase of vessels and tonnage employed of late years in the coasting trade to and from the port of Lon don, as that fact must be well known and ascertained by the Court. Nevertheless, they beg that attention may be called to that fact ; and also that the principal cause of many of the accidents that occur in the port, some attended with loss of life, and others with serious danger, is to be assigned to the want of sufficient room in the port, and the over-crowded state at all times of the collier tiers. . SPAIN. PRICE 7D. THE NEW ELECTORAL LAW. The Madrid journals of the 22d inst. contain the new ElecEon B:11, as settled by the majority of the Committee, acceded to by the Government, and read to the Chamber of Procuradores on the 21st, and of which the following is an analysis :—" There shall be one Deputy for every 50,000 souls, according to a table annexed to the Bill. Every Spaniard is to be an elector at twenty-five years of age, if be possesses the following qualifications :-1. He must be born within the kingdom, of Spanish parents, or of a Spanish father, if born abroad.-2. He must be one of the inhabitants of the province who pay the highest amount of taxes, at the rate of 100 'for 'each Deputy. This list of 100 principal tax-payers being formed, there shall be added to it all those who . pay taxes equal to the amount of those paid by the lowest upon the first list, and they also shall be electors.-3. All persons exer cising the following professions and employments — namely, advocates, assessors, fiscal officers, doctors in medicine, surgeons, and apothecaries in full practice, doctors in law, licentiates, and registrars of royal courts, those of the economical societies of the friends of the country, professors in the sciences, literature, and the humanities, with the exception of the professors of foi cign languages and elementary teachers.-4. All persons enjoying a retired pension or half-pay of any public employment, amounting to 10,000 rials, or 2,500 f. —5. Retired officers of the army, navy, or militia.-6. Officers of the National Guard, of the rank of Captain and upwards.—The lists of electors are to be made out by provincial deputations, who are- to consult thereupon the municipal bodies. These lists arc to be anthrally exposed to the public in the month of July. All complaints are to be laid before the provincial deputations, from whom there is to be an appeal to the Council of State. The provincial deputations are to divide each province into as many electoral districts as may be necessary, without being confined to the administrative or judicial divisions. The Electoral Assemblies are, in the first instance, to have for their President the Alcade of the place, and are after wards to elect a President, and four Secretaries, as scru " Your memorialists, therefore, pray that effective measures may be adopted by the Court to enforce the present by-laws, as respects the passage of three-hundred feet, and that they will be pleased to adopt improved regulations for the security and convenience of the transit of the shipping." Mr. TICKNER seconded the motion for referring the peti tion to the Navigation Committee. He concurred in its prayer, and all its allegations. It was of vast importance to the merchants and traders of London to have the depot of commerce- as near as possible to the centre of the City. It was also of importance to the lightermen to have it con tinued where it at present was. On the other hand, it would be vastly serviceable te L the proprietors of the Black wall railways, and the proprietors of the several docks, that the navigation should be obstructed.—(Hear.) Now, as it would be most unquestionably of service to the citizens of London that the depot of commerce should be as close as possible to that place, he should give his most decided sup port to a motion calculated to produce that effect. Mr. FISHER opposed the motion. He could not see why 300 feet space should be kept in the river unoccupied, for a race-course for steamers, which went to the tune of 15 miles an hour.—(Laughter.) He thought the port trade would be ruined by adopting such a plan. It was notorious that the attempt to enlarge the space to 300 feet had raised the price of coal three or four shillings a ton, and the price of all imported articles in proportion; and yet the former Chairman of the Navigation Committee had, by his own authority, directed that so important an alteration should take place. Mr. TICKNER admitted that, when the Chairman of the Navigation Committee, he had issued an order to the har •bour-master to enlarge the space.—(Hear, hear.) He had done so because the necessity was most urgent. An altera tion had taken place in the docks, which, combined with other changes, rendered it necessary to alter the tiering of the ships. The colliers, instead of being prejudiced, were much benefitted by the change ; and, although he had issued the order without meeting the Committee, he had ventured to do so upon the best advise from the town clerk's office, and his order was unanimously agreed to afterwards by the Committee.—(Cheers.) The memorial Was then referred to the Committee. Mr. HALE, the Chairman of the City of London School Committee, presented a petition from certain idhabitants of the neighbourhood, praying that a stone front should be erected instead of a brick front, at the expense of the Cor poration. An amendment, that the petition should lie on the table, was, however, proposed and carried. A petition was presented from the Churchwardens of the parishes of Coleman-streeet and St. Sepulchre praying that the law expenses incurred by the proceeding adopted for r ecovering an annual grant of coals to the poor of those parishes should be defrayed by the Corporation. It stated that the Corporation had been gainers to the amount of 3,0001. by the oversight as to the application of the pa 'rishes for the gift to the Chamberlain. The petitioners, however, sought merely the amount of the solicitor's bills, viz., 991. 17s. The Court manifested the greatest willingness to order the bills to be paid forthwith, but Mr. LAURENCE submitted that they could not be dis charged until, as was established by a by-law of the Court, they should be sent before the Coal and Corn or Finance Committee. The petition was then referred to that Committee. After some discussion upon the question of the neces sity of a better regulated system of keeping the Central Criminal Courts in a more cleanly condition, it was agreed that it should be referred to the Committee of City Lands to consider what additional recompense should be given to the housekeeper to accomplish the desired object. It is only 'fair to state that the present allowance to the house keeper is extremely scanty. tators, by a relative ,majority. Each elector is to write, or Cause his bulletin to be written, containing as many names as there are to be Deputies for the province, with an equal number of supplementary names ; and further, the name of the Commissary for the district. The elec tion beinc , concluded, the Commissary of the district is to proceed' to the capital of the province with the minutes of the election, and there the votes for the provincial deputaticn And the Commissaries are to be examined. To be elected a deputy, the candidate must have a moiety plus one of the whole number of votes. There is to be a second ballot for all those who do not obtain this ma jority. To. be elected a Deputy, or supplementary De. puty, on a second ballot, a simple majority of votes over the other candidates will suffice. The qualifications for being a Deputy are as follow :—l. To be a free Spaniard, and of the secular order.-2. To be 25 years of age.-3. To be the heed of a family, and keep a domestic establishment.-4. To possess an annual income of 6,000 rials (1,5001.) or a capital of 240,00 0 rials (60,0001.) in landed estate, in Stock in the Spanish Go vernment Funds, or placed in commerce or industry ; or to live honourably and independently by the exercise of the profession of an advocate, a doctor in medicine, or in law, or in letters, or to be a professor in the Sciences or Fine Arts, provided the annual income derived from these pro fessions can be estimated at 10,000 rials (2,5001.) or, finally, be receiving from the Royal Treasury a sum of 14,000 rials (3,5001.) per annum, either as a salary or as a retired pension. The functions of a Deputy to the Cortes are gratuitous and voluntary. Every Deputy upon whom the Government shall confer any employment with a salary from the State is to be subjected to re-election. The sup plementary Deputies are to have the same qualifications as the Deputies. They are to enter into the exercise of their functions ; first, in cases where one Deputy. is elected for several places, and has made his option to sit for one of of them ; secondly, in case of the decease of the Deputy ; and, thirdly, in case of his resigning or otherwise vacating his seat. In consequence of the present state of the Basque provinces, , they are not to be immediately divided into elec toral districts, and the election of Deputies is to take place in the four capital towns of those provinces in which the electors are to assemble." (From the Madrid Gazette.) " ROYAL ORDERS. " Her Majesty the Queen Regent, who is intimately convinced that one of the qualities indispensable in the clergy is obedience and positive adherence to the legitimate throne of her august daughter and the system of government which rules the nation, has seen with displeasure that some spiritual persons, straying from the path of truth which moral rectitude points out to them, and allowing themselves to be guided by fatal and interested prejudices, forget their most essential duties, and obstinately disown the salutary and conservative maxims of the society in which they live. Subject to its laws, since they participate in its beneficial influence, they ought to recognise the obligation by which they are bound to inculcate into all minds the love of order and obedience to all lawful authorities, instead of sowing discord, whereby evils are produced which afflict the heart of her Majesty and the hearts of all good Spaniards. They will find in the sacred Scriptures, if they consult them, sublime precepts of obedience and meekness to be obeyed, and of strict responsibility to be feared if, from indifference, malignity, or ignorance, they should allow peace to be dis turbed among the faithful consigned to their care, since they are the shepherds whose duty it is to watch over the wel fare of their flocks. " The criminal forgetfulness which some ecclesiastics manifest with respect to these truths, as generally acknow ledged, as venerated by the orthodox, learned, and virtuous portion of the Spanish clergy, imposes on her Majesty the necessity of adopting measures calculated to meet the evils which such conduct may inflict on the people, the dupes of the influence and ascendancy of persons who, abusing their sacred character, resort to every means their turbulent spirits can suggest to compromise their victims in the existing dissensions ; and being in her maternal solicitude anxious to remove as far as possible the causes of this dis order, by affording to the people the opportunity of hearing the voice of faithful pastors, who without any prepossessions, and free from fatal prejudices, may present to them examples of subordination and fidelity to the sacred oath they have sworn, it is her Majesty's sovereign will that in order to enable the archbishops, bishops, prelates, chapters, and ecclesiastical corporations to ascertain with precision the cir cumstances and qualifications of the persons to be patronized, they do not propose, provide, collate, or adjudicate in any manner whatever to any benefices, curacics, chaplainships, stewardships, or any ecclesiastical office or preferment de pending thereon, unless the parties interested, besides pos sessing the qualifications required by the sacred canons and the laws of these kingdoms, be accredited by certificates from the respective civil governors of the provinces in which they have resided, for their good political conduct and decided at tachment to the legitimate Government of her Majesty Donna Isabel 11., manifested by acts so positive and defi nite as to have no doubt on the subject. With respect to those documents her Majesty charges the. civil governors to proceed with due care and circumspection in 'granting them, previously hearing the Ayuntamientos and provincial depu tations ; it being understood that if this new and indispen sable requisite should not in due time be demanded, the most rigid responsibility will be incurred by her Majesty granting recourse to all the proceedings within her sovereign authority against those who may disobey. " Such are the means whereby her Majesty prop.oses to avert from her beloved people those serious evils which they are enduring, and to the discredit, at the same time, of some ministers of the gospel, who mislead them. Her Ma jesty, confiding in your zeal and in your wishes for the feli city of the country, trusts that you mill co-operate effi ciently in fulfilling this important duty, by dispensing all your protection to those ecclesiastics who, duly impressed with the force and sacred nature of the oath they have sworn to, fulfil it by giving positive proofs of their fidelity and obedience. . • " By Royal order I communicate the same to your Ex cellency for your inforinatiini, and the punctual execution thereof.'

Never was there a period more fertile than the present in the production of serial publications : we have and Biographi cal Works in abundance; but there is one branch of Literature, and that perhaps the highest—certainly the most intellectual, which appears to have been almost entirely overlooked—Poetry. Is is with this impression that the present attempt is made to render the general mass of the community more familiar with the Poets of Great Britain ; for the experience of all ages has shown, and the greatest lights of genius have proved in their own persons, that there is nothing that tends more immediately to refine, and, therefore, elevate the human mind than Poetry. • London ; Edward Churton, 26, Holles-street ; Bell and Brad fate, Edinburgh ; John Cumming, Dublin ; and all Booksellers. HATFIELD, TUESDAY EVENING. The body of the unfortunate lady who fell a sacrifice to the fire which has so recently destroyed a consider able portion of this magnificent residence, has not. yet been found. Workmen have been employed during the Whole day in digging among the ruins, and conveying away large masses of rubbish ; but as a considerable quantity still remains to be cleared, it is not probable that they will arrive at the conclusion of their labours before to morrow morning at the earliest. The fire extended to no less than forty-five apartments, many of which were lofty and noble rooms, splendidly furnished, adorned with rich oak carvings of considerable antiquity, marble chimney pieces, and magnificent decorations of every kind. When the fire was at its height, the different doors communicating with the beautiful' old chapel and south front of the building were hastily bricked up to a considerable thickness ; and to this precaution, combined with the judicious direction of the dif ferent engines, and the indefatigable exertions of the firemen and others on the spot, the preservation of the remainder of the habitation can alone be attributed. Its escape, even with these precautions, appears most miraculous. There appears every reason to suppose that the ill-fated lady suf fered little from burning, and that she was most probably suffocated by the dense smoke at a very early period of the fire. She made no reply when the door was opened and her name pronounced, at which time the smoke would have rendered any attempt to enter the room certain destruction ; and it is worthy of notice that a favourite dog, which was in her dressing-room at the time, did not avail himself of that opportunity of escape. The house is, perhaps, the finest remnant of the Eliza bethan age extant. The South front, in particular, is the most beautiful specimen of the picturesque architecture of the period that can be imagined. The principal suites of rooms are princely, and worthy the residence of a Monarch. The cloister, long gallery, banquetting room, and hall, are magnificent apartments, and though they present at this moment an appearance very different from that which they usually bear, and have worn for many years past, they are not the less interesting on that account. The confusion and disorder which pervade them—the hurried jumbling toge ther of the costly furniture in the anxiety to preserve it from destruction—rich couches and sofas, handsome mir rors, high-backed damask-covered old chairs, and fantastic cabinets of ancient date, with Turkey carpets, chrystal or naments, pictures, and suits of armour, and a thousand other heterogeneous articles—contrast singularly enough with the 01d heavy chimney-pieces, and oaken pannels which have worn the same appearance for centuries, and seem to defy the ravages of time as proudly as that of the edifice which is now a mass of ruins did but a few days since. Kairon gnothi—Fugit here. ABelief in the existence of the fountain of youth, from which those who bathed in its waters gained a pristine energy, was among the speculations of the 15th century ; it will, however, serve as no inapt type of the revivifying powers of art and medicine. Those who, early victims to a morbid imagination, have sought fatally to anticipate tho purposes of nature, and hays consequently lapsed into a state which brings with it weakened ca pabilities and clouded hopes, may by timely application to profes sional treatment, regain those first, noblest, and best of powers that have boon compromised by the criminal propensities of " guilty soli tude," the progreis of which is marked by the " lymphatioa som nia' ofPliny, attended with bodily weakness and oriental apathy. We may indulge a natural exultation in referrin g to cur daily cor respondence with grateful and convalescent patients, net confined to our own country, but diffused over the whole world. For twenty fi re years has our peculiar treatment in cases of Nervous Debility proved eminently successful, and we have hitherto resisted the earnest solicitations of our patients to publish their cases in a public address the following, however, has been se urgently pressed upon us by a medical friend, that we have yielded to an importunity suf ficiently excusable by the gratitude it evinces Dear Sirs—My fondest hopes are realized ! Accept my most neartfelt thanks ; words are inadequate to express my unbounded ratitude.

Your's, most sincerely, L. H." There arc many disorders of the generative system (which, when compared with the above, may be termed subsordinate) that are consequent upon the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, exhibiting in some, debility from excess, in ethers, the relaxing effects of a tropical climate, and in many, indeed in how many, the various maladies which afflict the student, the misan thrope, the gay, the dissipated, and the libertine.

USEFUL AND ENTERTAINING KNOWLEDGE. — The opportunity afforded by Mr. Colburn for obtaining good works by means of their publication in weekly numbers, at a trifling cost, has been, as might have been expected, eagerly embraced by the many. As an evidence of this, we may state that within ten days after its appearance, Number I. of Count Las Cases' " Memoirs of Napoleon," was all sold. To meet the great and increasing demand for this authentic work, it has been reprinted and stereotyped in a convenient pocket size, uniformly with the works of Byron and Scott, so that no disappointment can in future arise. Like " Colburn's Modern Novelists," it is now re-issuing in Weekly Shilling Numbers, finely embellished, the first and second of which have just appeared. The octavo edition has reached its sixth number. " Bulwer's Disowned" suc ceeds " Pelham" in the cheap re-issue of Colburn's Nove lists, and, like that novel, is announced to be comprised in six parts, two of which are already published, with four illus trations by linden. Appearing in such a style of beauty, and at so moderate a p r i ce , w e doubt not that many thousand copies will rapidly find their way into circulation. The accounts from Miramichi are dated the 3d ult. A company had been formed there with a capital of 100,0001., for the purpose of erecting saw-mills upon the south-west branch of the river Miramichi, and on the 'rexas river. The different contracts bad been entered into, and it was expected that the whole would be ready to work about the beginning of April next. The general opinion was, that about 30,000,000 superficial feet of deals and boards would be cut annually by these mills. On Monday evening last, about six o'clock, a cornrick was discovered to be on fire, in the rick-yard of Mr. John Brown, of Piddington. Nothing has yet trans pired to fix suspicion on any individual.—arfird Journal. GOVERNOR OF THE IRISH SOCIETY. Mr. WIRE rose to propose that Alderman Wood should be elected President of the Irish Society. ' Mr. STEVENS seconded the motion. Mr. TICKNER objected to the appointment of the Alder man, from the fact that the Fishmongers' Company, of which Alderman Wood is Prime Warden, is at variance with the Irish Society. Mr. R. L. JONES said that the election could not fall upon a more eligible person. Mr. FLETCHER was satisfied that no man could perform the duties of Governor more to the benefit of all parties than Alderman Wood.—(Loud cheers.) After a few words from Mr. C. Pearson, and Mr. R. Taylor, Alderman Wood was unanimously elected Governor of the Irish Society. The Court, after the transation of some business of no public, interest, broke up. On Wednesday evening, the 18th Nov., a irl about seven years of age, the child of Mr. Richard Cook, of Tho mas -street, was in the act of snuffing the candle, when part of the burning wick fell upon her pinafore, which immedi ately took fire, and the unfortunate child was burnt in so shocking a manner as to cause her death, after lingering in extreme agony till the following Friday morning.—Coventry Herald. ROBBERY.— A man aged 60, named John Hen nessy, from the neighbourhood of Clonmel, was met on Sunday night on John's Bridge by a party of ruffians, who first robbed him of ten shillings, and then threw him over the bridge into the pill. Fortunately, he was saved from almost inevitable death by a man named Fitzgerald. Those daring robbers escaped with their booty.—Waterford Chronicle. _ LIWN, THE PARRICIDE.—John Linn, who, it may be recollected, was convicted, about two years ago, at Car rickfergus assizes, for the murder of his father (a respect able tradesman of Belfast), but was acquitted on the ground of insanity, and confined accordingly at the Belfast district lunatic asylum, made his escape from it, on Saturday morning. Where he has fled to is altogether unknown ; but, it is supposed probable, that he will endeavour to make off to America—and, should he do so, it will be a happy riddance to this part of the country, in which, long pre viously to the atrocious and unnatural crime he had imbrued his hand in, he .was a dread and a terror, by reason of an innate lawlessness 3nd ferociousness of disposition, which was termed insanvj but, in point of fact, was nothing more or less tha.a; •orking of a most ungoverable and "turbul en t temp ar, ited into action by too free a use of ardent spirits.

BALTIMORE, _Nov. 6.—The first trial resulting from the riots in August last took place yesterday in Baltimore City Court. Joseph Walters, jun., was indicted for an assault and battery on Charles F. Tensfield, on the night of the Bth of August last. It appeared in evidence that Mr. Tensfield, in obedi.ence to a call on the citizens by the Mayor to aid the civil authorities in preserving the peace and protecting the property of the citizens, was acting as a member of a troop of horse voluntarily assembled under the command of Colonel E. L. Finley—that his horse fell with him while the troop was passing rapidly along the street, and in the fall Mr. Tensfield lost his sword. That before he could rise he was surrounded by a crowd, who beat him severely, and the traverser, Walters, took up the sword, and with the naked point presented in a threatening manner over Tensfield, then lying on the street, asked whether he should run it through him. He was prevented, however, by some of the bystanders from wounding Mr. T. with the sword. The Jury found the traverser guilty, and the Court sentenced him to pay a fine of 100 dollars, to be imprisoned six months, and to give security in 500 dollars to keep the peace.—Baltimore Gazette.

THE LATE FLOOD AT GOOLE.—On Monday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, there being a very high tide at Goole, the extraordinary pressure of water broke down the piles of a dam at the dock; and immediately overflowed the whole town, inundating every cellar belong ing to the tradesmen and merchants, and also filling the bond cellars of the extensive warehouses. Tlie damage done will, it is feared, be found to be very considerable ; but as. the water had only subsided a few feet when our infer• mant left Goole, it was impossible to say to what amount.-- Hull Observer. * * * A private letter states that the powerful flood-gates of the dock were " snapped like a car rot," and several stones in the dock walls were forced out of their places. The water was three feet deep in the houses, and five feet eight inches in the bond cellars. Three hundred floating casks of wine were taken out. The breach was effectually stopped before the return of the tide, but the damage is estimated at between 8,0001. and ivoow.— Hull ildvcrti3cr. , MR. N. P.
