My motive in the lines which I present you, Is simply this—l wish t o compliment you. I don't refer so much to skill in verses, As to your strict adherence to the fact ; The trading story which your Muse rehearses Is perfectly as Messrs. MOSES act. Poets, 'tie said, are rather fond of fiction, But your assertions challenge contradiction. MOSES and SON, you say. possess great merit As Artistes in the making of attire ; And, Sir, my commendation they inherit, For MOSES' dress I very much admire. They have a claim (and every day they show it) Not less than that asserted by their poet. All that you say of MOSES I rely on, Your compliments on style and strength are due, There's not`a garment that I fix my eye on, But proves good quality and cheapness too.

CE LIB ACY. —Singleness is not always the con -sequence if disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi culty in meeting with a lit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did tl - ey feel themselves equal to its obligations ; and the chequered page of life reveals innumerable instane s where, under that blighting consciousness; man has permitted the most ardent afree tioa to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitarinegs Into which his affianced would be plunged if he Married. Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these circumstances; and, though not so vlllanous as to proceed to the altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The disqualifications for Marriage have more than one primary Source ; the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely, Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Habits ; the Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and .Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sourcef of Importance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and, lastly, men as prevented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider`his.case beyond remedy, and he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. Such will find all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS, and CO., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London, entitled ISLANII001) ; the Causes of its Premature Dzeline, with Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration, &c., &c.

When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a :fate which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment e Important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those. desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION. ilinstrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa tions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, o.• infection.

BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. THE BUILDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. — Yesterday evening a meeting of the members and com mittee of the above institution, was held at the Free masons' Tavern, for general business; Mr. G. Bird in the chair. The society was founded twelve months since, for giving relief and granting pensions to decayed mem bers of the various branches of the trade, their widows and orphans, also temporary relief to workmen in cases of accident, and likewise to form a separate fund for the erection of an asylum for decayed masters, their wives, and widows. The report congratulated the members on the steady progress which was being made, the sub scriptions and donations amounting to nearly 1,000/. The annual income was about 2001., and it proposed, a, soon as it is increased to 3001. to commence the relief fund, there being already several distressing appeals for assistance. The report made a forcible appeal to the trade, to enable them to dispense relief.

" The town is perfectly quiet—there is nut the slightest excitement, and the surrounding country is also tranquil. The mission of the military and police to Knocklofty and the adjoining districts resulted, 1 understand, in the arrest o f two or three country people who were not able to give a satisfactory account of themselves. The statement that Baron Parke is coming here to assist the judges in expound ing the criminal law is, I have been informed, un founded. The aid of any English judge is assuredly unnecessary while Chief. Justice Blackburne is one of the presiding judges at the Commission. The name of Baron Parke is not in the document nominating the judges—the Irish judges alone are empowered to act ; and those before whom the Court was opened are, as has been already stated, Chief Justice Blackburne, Chief Justice Doherty, and Mr. Justice Moore. It is stated that Baron Pennefather will give the benefit of his experience to shis brother judges, if it be necessary for him to do so. His Lordship lives upon his estate, which is between three and four miles from Clonmel, and, as he is named in the com mission, it is very probable that he will be present at the trial, or at least in the Judges' chamber, if a consultation be advisable. Baron Parke will, it is believed, come to Knocklofty Castle, the seat of the Earl of Donoughmore, and it is very likely that he, too, will be in court=ing lus trials. I have just learned that a man named Patrick Cunningham has been arrested on a charge' of treasonable practices. He was rather a respectable married man with a family, and was in the establishment of Bairy, Tenan, and Company, Carrick-on-Suir. Being fearful of arrest, he left his employment, and while on his way to Limerick was taken into custody by a detective who got into conversation with him upon a car, and extracted from him that he was a good deal impli cated in the rebellious movements which for some time have been going on, and was the leading mem ber of a club in Kerry. The prisoner was conveyed to Tipperary by railroad f and thence in the custody of four police-constables on one of Bianconi's cars to Cionmel, where his now confined. Information has been received of a gathering of the people upon a bill not far from Thurles, to disperse which a number of military were dispatched ; but nothing of any serious character need be anticipated from this event. The State priioners, except Mr.' Leyne, are in good health. The privilege .extended to Mr. O'Brien of seeing the members of his family, and professional advisers, at all reasonable hours during the day, has beenlimited to particular periods, owing to a complaint made by another of the Sate prisoners, that a similar privilege had not been con ferred upon him." It is understood that the counsel for the defence of Mr. O'Brien have finally decided not to call Lord J. Russell into the witness-box. Touching the PreMier's appearance in Court, the Evening Herald observes :-- " After all, we shall not have the Prime Minister on the table at ClonMel. It has just been discovered that Mr. S. O'Brien's advisers were mistaken, not in the nature of the documents in reference to which Lord J. Russell received a Crown summons, but with respect to the individual actually compromised by them. The facts, as they were believed by Mr. O'Brien's friends at the time when the summons was delivered, were exactly Ilk, we then stated them. It is, however, now ascertained that Lord J. Russell is not implicated,•at least 'directly, in the diseloaures which were looked for. It is perfectly true that a noble lord, who held a foremost place among the Reformers, and afterwards one of the highest offices to which a subject can aspire, did actually pending the reform riots write &letter, at this moment in existence, inviting a gentleman then holding the rank of colonel to place himself at the head of 50,000 men, and march upon London, for the purpose of overbearing opposition by terror. We cannot say whether evidence to this effect will be tendered, or whether the necessary Crown summons has been served; but, although the illegality of such evidence was clearly established, and there existed, of course, no chance of its being admitted, even its tenor and the comment of counsel in the case we speak of would lose much of their point and meaning, for the party actually implicated by the letters is not a mem ber of the present Cabinet. In conclusion, we have to state that Lord John Russell has been written to by Mr. O'Brien's solicitOr, ;apprizing him that his attendance at the ensuing trial will be dispensed with." THE CONVICT JOIIN MARTIN. The following appears in the Freeman of this morning : " We deeply regret to announce that Mr. Martin has been labouring under fever for the last week, and that he is at present in a very precarious state. He is attended by his own private physician, and also by Dr. Banon, the medical attendant of the prison, and it appears that but slight hopes are entertained of the patient's recovery." PERIODICAL SITTINGS OF PARLIAMENT The Society for Promoting the Periodical Sittings of the Imperial Parliament in Dublin met yesterday at their rooms in the Northumberland -buildings ; Lord William Fitzgerald in the chair. The following report was presented by the sub committee appointed on the last day of meeting : to the " The sub committee h av i ng ca refully considered the objections hitherto mad e project for pro moting annual sittings of th e I m perial Parliament in Dublin, feel it to be their d u ty t o lay before the so ciety their first report on the subject, though they are fully aware that it is, in many respects, a very imperfect one. " The allegations made in opposition to the object of the society have been generally of a very vague and indefinite characler. Your committee will en deavour to refer to each of th em in its turn , briefly and yet fully, not mis-stating it, a nd being most anxious to be set right should they appear to do so. " The first leading objection, and the one apparently most relied upon, is ' the mischief of agitation ; an objection founded on the hypothesis that a state of things so unsatisfactory as to render discussion unne cessary exists in Ireland; a position which, when thus clearly stated, is so remote from the truth that, so far as your Committee is aware, no objector has had the hardihood to support it, That agitations have latterly been the occasion of vast evil the Committee freely admit, and the main advantage they promise themselves in the success of their project is the ulti mate cessation of those manifestations of moral and physical force which the ill-balanced and u n g ove rned position of the country have hitherto rendered not only practicable but continuous. Deeply interested in bringing about the permanent tranquillization of Ireland, the chief object of the Committee is to seek peace and insure it.' They desire nothing so much as to relieve the country from that wasting agitation which is the immediate cause of most of her miseries, but which must continue so long as the influence of the legislative classes remains abstracted from Irish society, the regulation of its feelings, and the direction of its energies being altogether retained in other hands. The Committee knows that the in stitutions of British society have grown up in ac accordance with the existence of these elements in her social system. They see the English community easily guided through tranquillity to Prosperity by the co-operation in all its parts of monarchical, aris. tocratical, and democratical machinery, well fitted, and working easily and safely together. It appears to them that in Ireland, on the contrary, the attempt is made to work the British social machine without either its regulator or male wheels, the means resorted to to supply the defects in its movements being utterly inadequate. They cannot doubt but that in the insufficiency of the patchwork is to be f oun d th e n ecessary cause of those unfortunate agit a ti ons an d disturbances which are so banefully operati ve . A Court that is not a Court is the substitute for royalty. Viceroyalty, so o only n constitutedot the a regulator,s to be a but. is gigantic un reality, is not actually in itself the disturber of societ y . It is and can be but the centre of intrigue, the focus that collects and renders intense the emanations of the spirit of syco phancy and place-hunting, which is the direct opposite of that independence and industry by which a nation can be elevated into prosperity and wealth. Its im mediate accompaniment is a host of persons who, in the absence of an aristocracy, lead the people, and ascend through a course of agitation into the heights of office. " The Committee does not believe that any system of agitation which offers rewards to its promoters, and which is in itself a necessary attendant and sup port to mock authority, will cease and determine at the bidding of either the press or the Ministry. It sees that even the attempt made by the society to evoke a calm and temperate discussion upon an im portant public question has been encountered by agitation of the most unreasoning character—discour teous misrepresentation of its motives and objects have been unfairly put forward by the organs of the Executive. The names of respected and influential citizens have been forged to its disparagement —all the influence of the Government press has been used " The next point the Committee desire to call atten . tion to is, • the practicability and Parliamentary ad advantages of ,the measure itself.' Objections under this head resolve themselves into two classes—the one refers to the character and description of the law makers likely to attend the proposed session ; the other to the character and description of the laws they are likely to make. " Your Committee will apply themselves to both. "The first objection presented to them is, that it will be impracticable for Cabinet Ministers to take any part in Irish Parliamentary proceedings, should those be of such a nature as to require their attend ance. This assertion-amounts virtually to this—that during the recess, when no 2arlitwaut is sitting in. London, and at the time when most of those person ages are now in the habit of amusing themselves at their country residences, neither they nor any work ing portion of them could find an opportunity of being together in Dublin without serious detriment to the public service. " In calmly considering the statement, it becomes in the first instance necessary to inquire from the ob jectors how many members of the Cabinet there are whose opinions on Irish subjects influence in delibe ration the decision of their, colleagues. In'the Com mittee it would appear invidious to go through the list of their names to answer the inquiry ; perhaps some half-dozen may be with difficulty enumerated. If it be necessary for any one of these to be in Lon don when his-presence might for other reasons be desirable here, information can surely be commuiii cated upon paper.. Bills do not pass like lightning through both Houses of Parliament ; nor is legisla tion as rapid in its workings as the imagination pro ductive of such obstacles ; nor would Ministers lose all guidance and control over their several departments during their temporary absence. All the arguments so industriously used against the project derived from the facilities of communication between London and Dublin, on this point at least, cut both ways ; with this difference, that their absence would be in the one case brief and temporary for the one country, while now it is permanent and perpetual for the other, " Nor, supposing their attendance to be requisite, would it seriously interfere with the period of relaxa tion necessary to recruit their health and strength ? Irish business being conducted here to its successful termination would cease to offer its irregular inter ference with the Imperial business of the country at large, and thus help materially to diminish the labour and protracted duration of the London session. In law-making, as in other trades, the division of labour will possess its natural advantages, and ' time saved' will be ' time gained' for the Cabinet Minister as for the artizan. " What other counsellors would meet together would of course very much depend upon the character of the measures to be discussed. All Members con nected, with Ireland not simply by representation merely, but by the possession of property, whether in land, mortgages, banking shares, railway scrip, or other investment, would naturally in any case take an interested part in our legislation—the Caven- • dishes, Stanleys, Fitz williams, Russells, Pagets, Thynnes, Pettys, and Talbots—the Beresfords, Boyles, Courtenays, Capels, Conynghams, the Adairs—Lords Palmerston, Jocelyn, Ebrington —Messrs. Shirley, Lennard, Osborne, Clive, Ormsby Gore,', Baldwin, Stafford O'Brien, Shar man Crawford. How many names rush hi crowds to the mind in an endeavour to enumerate them ! Nay, the very Aldermen of the city of Lon.- don,—the Thompsons, Copelands, and Humpherys. All these are Irish proprietors, and would be obliged by self-interest to take their share in the conduct of Irish local affairs, and in framing Irish Parliamentary enactments. " To these, as well as to the local representatives, would be conjoined all those busy and untiring spi rits—those living encyclopaelias of blue-book know ledge, whose minds, well stored with infor►nation, require but practical acquaintance with us to make very useful and valuable advisers. " Upon these, and men like these, thoughtfully desirous of the welfare of Ireland, because conducive to their own, zealously anxious to prevent Irish mal administration from continuing to be productive of English deterioration, would legislation probably de volve, so long as the Parliament confined itself to its legitimate operations. The Committee freely admit that the mass of uninterested obstruction now found cumbrously detrimental to sound and well-considered legislation would probably vanish and disappear. No noisy shouters would disturb debate, or be heard, night after night, vociferating ill-timed interruptions from back benches; business could be attended to— business could be done—arguments could be heard, could be listened to, could make their impression, and could influence Government. " But it has been said such a Parliament would not confine itself to its legitimate operations. Upon this portion of the subject the Committee hopes to be able to present its report at the next meeting of the so ciety, when they also will endeavour to show the mis taken analogy supposed to exist between the cases of the Scotch and Irish Unions. " WM. FITZGERALD, Chairman." Ordered to be printed and inserted on the minutes. Letters were then read, new members admitted, and the society adjourned until Monday next, after a vote of thanks to its chairman. MORE GEMS FROM THE " HUE AND CRY." In the last two numbers of the Hue and Cry we find the following gems : Under the head of Monaghan county is the follow- ing description of" three yearling calves :"—The first is described as "a bull, all white, with brown stripes over his shoulders," and his horns are " short, wide, and in good condition." " A heifer calf, all red or yellow, except a white face " I " horns six inches long, value 3/. 13i."!! Mr. Robert Creig, of Ballysodare, county Sligo, lost a horse, which is described as " entirely bright bay," with legs rather long for the body, and the legs all black, except the off fore, which is white above the fetlock anti the hair off the " fore knees"! This truly unique horse, it is further stated, has a "white star on the forehead, which is very badly shod" ! Under the head of Tipperary there is a description of three persons unknown "who fired at William Tracy, of Springfield, barony of Kilnemanagh, which (the pistol, we suppose) missed fire, and then gave him several blows of stones; which inflicted a slight cut on his head, and then ordered him to leave the place !" (An extraordinary pistol that !) John Sexton is a decided martyr, at least in the Ifue anti Cry. He was described heretofore as having two blue eyes, with one of them blind. lie is noVe stated to be by trade a labourer, and supposed to be in Kilkenny at present, or gone to England or Scotland to reap the harvest ! Tyrone is not without its gems. Amongst some persons who are described as having escaped from Omagh gaol on the 30th of August are—Patrick Quinn, who, it is said, " has brown eyes which lost the toes off the right foot," and John White, with " grey eyes which wore a fustian jacket !" Under the head of Wexford county (seldom men tioned in the Hue and Cry) is a description of a he ass stolen from Arklow, the townland of which is said to be " rising four years old !" FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE NEW WORCESTER CORN EX . CIIANGE.—WORCESTER, TUESDAY.—A singular fa• witty appears to attend the building of two rival corn exchanges in this city. This morning an inquest was held before Mr. lly de, the local coroner, on the body of a stone mason, named James Powell, who was engaged, with others, in the erection of a new corn exchange on the site of the old market in this city, and while occu pied in assisting to raise a heavy block of Cornish stone, by means of a pulley, he slipped from the scaffolding at the top of the building, and fell to the floor, a distance of upwards of fifty feet. On being picked. up by his fellow-labourers, it was found that he had . fractured his i skull, and received other very serious njuri es. He was carried to the Worcester Infirmary, where ho died shortly after his arrival. Verdict, " Accidental death." A precisely similar accident happened a few weeks ago at the rival corn exchange just completed. A man en gaged at the top of the building fell to the ground from the scaffolding, and was killed on the spot. AN ESCAPED LUNATIC.—If the guardians Gf Bedlam have missed one of their inmates, they may hear tidings of him by applying at our office, as we have recently met with a gentloman who believes that tle• fonds voted for Ireland went to the poor.—The Puppet Show. The following particulars were stated at the prelimi nary portion of the inquest, which was commenced on Monday afternoon, before Mr. Curry, but necessarily postponed until this day (TUesday), several witnesses, whose evidence was requisite, not being in attend :nee. Jamas Calderbank, a glass•cutter, sad in effect-1 lire in Henderson-street, and knew the deceased parties by the name of Howarth. On Sunday morning I saw, while at my own house, three females at Mr. Webster's house, opposite to mine. They knocked, and he came down and spoke to them. Mr. Webster then came across the street, and asked me to go with him to Mr. Howarth's house, as he (Mr. H.) and his wife had been missing for somo time. We went there together, and not being able to get in by the front door, which was fast, went to the back. We called another person, and an entrance was finally obtained by the stable. We all went up stairs into a bed-room, the door of which was half open. When we entered, we saw the body of Mr. Howarth lying on the bed, partly across it from the bottom to the top. He was lying partly on the right side. We saw his face. We then saw the body of Mrs. Howarth lying on the floor, her legs partly under the bed. I saw no blood about him, but a good deal about her. I did not examine the bodies, I was so much shocked. I went for two police-efficers, and returned with them to the back door. I did not again enter the house. I did not particularly notice what was in the room. I have known Mr. Howarth about 15 years. He was a confectioner. He and his son did not live on good terms. James Baird, a police-officer, was called by the last witness, who said a man and a woman were dead in Park-place, and went with him to the house. Another officer was called by the last witness. Baird continued: —I asked last witness if he knew how it had happened, and if it were a murder. He said he did not know. We all went together and entered at the back by the stable. Wr . , , g4L4e,stairs to the front r 9,9133, facing the street. 'One or two other "persons were with us. We saw the deceased, Mr. Howarth, lying in bed, partly on his right side, and lying diagonally, from corner to corner. He was quite dead. The female was lying on the floor, partly on her side, and with her legs partly under the bed. She was also quite dead. I supposed, from the way she was lying, that she might have fallen out of bed. Her head and neck were bare. He had no coat, and he had the rest of his clothes on, excepting his shoes. A doctor was sent for by the superintendent. I saw two basins in the room, like wash-hand basins, one 'larger than the other. There was something in both of them of a dark colour, as if persons had been vomiting in them. This morning I found a small pill box on the wash-hand stand (produced), with what appeared to be a small quantity of white powder in it. Here the COUONER, finding that the several witnesses requisite to maintain the chain of evidence had not come up, felt it necessary to defer further proceedings. Ile noticed that the bodies appeared to have been found in rather a different posture from that in which the jury and himself had that day seen them. He said he had learned from the surgeon who had examined the bodies that there was no doubt but that both the parties had been poisoned; hut he had not yet been able to as certain precisely the nature of the poison, for it was not of the usual corrosive substances; but he expected to be enabled to determine it by to•morrow. He should, there fore, postpone the case rather than adjourn it, and he thought it would be better to commence de novo, when all the witnesses were present. We have learned from a party who visited the apart ment in which the tragedy was so privately and tearfully performed that the spectacle was a truly frightful one. Beside the female was a pool of blood, and her head pre sented a number of contusions, on both sides, and espe cially over the left eye, and it remains to be seen how this can be reconciled with the absence of violence, which, however, might not be sufficient to produce death. But it were improper to speculate in this stage of the proceedings. The inspector of police, who visited the house after the police-officers were first there, found a common pint jug, with a tea-spoon in it, and which con tained a small incrustation of a white substance at the bottom. This has not yet been examined.—Liverpool Standard. HANTS.

MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH anti SON have been honoured with instructions from the Proprietor to OF FER for SALE by AUCTION, at the L'on Hotel, Warrington, on WEDNESDAY, October IS,' and following day, commencing each day at Eleven o'clock (if not previcusly disposed of), the above truly magnificent and very valuable FREEHOLD ESTATES, together nearly 7,000 statute acres, embracing some of the finest land in the county, and almost in a ring fence. They embrace t he important Manor of Bold, with its splendid men sion, gardens, park, noble woods, lake, and plantations, all in excel lent order, and distinguisfied as the Bold Hall Estate, and comprising within itself about 4,300 acres most superbly timbered, and well stocked with game; also the liurtonwood Estate adjoining, containing numerous small farms and other property ; together; with the Sutton Estate, closely contiguous, consisting of about 1,030 acres of excellent land skirting the prosperous and rapidly Improving town of St. Helen's, and containing mines of superior coal and also beds of clay of great value for pottery purposes. The whole of these Rue estates (with the exception of the parks and demesne farm, which are in hand) are let to responsible tenants at moderate rents, and produce between 11,0001, and 12,0001. per annum, exclusive of royalties and rents receivable from coal mines, which must annually increase. The limits of an advertisement will only admit of a brief outline cf the numerous natural and great local advantages of this most important and splendid domain. The Man sion of Bold stands upon a fine elevated part of the park, which contains about 600 acres, richly studded with noble timber, and sheltered by venerable oak woods of the finest growth. Within the park are the remains of the ancient hall, moated round, and which, from a period little later than the conquest, has been the seat of the maternal ancestors of the present owner. The Sutton Estate possesses rare advantages, is intersected by the London and North Western and St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railways, and, from its position and nature, its value's annually increasing. The St. Helen's Coal-field, containing an average thickness of 70 feet of coal, is believed to extend under a considerable portion of the Sutton Estate part of such mines are already in lease, and must be the source of a vast revenue. The Sutton -station of the London and North IVestern Railway is distant about a mile from Bold Hall, affording easy access to all parts of the kingdom. Warrington is distant from Bold five miles and a half, Liverpool only 14, Manches ter 20, and London less than 200. The Bold Estate may be pur chased without the Sutton and Burtonwood Domains, which will be offered in various lots.

THE FRENCH NAVY. The Constitutionnel contains some interesting facts relative to the French navy. It sets out by reciting the Royal ordinance of the 22d of November, 1846, which fixed the naval peace establishment at 40 ships of the line (24 afloat and 16 on the stocks), 50 frigates (40 afloat and 10 on the stocks), 136 vessels of an inferior class afloat, 100 steam-vessels (all afloat), and two float ing batteries with from 40 to 50 guns.—Total, 328 ships. In November, 1846, the Navy board, in order to com plete the projected establishment, had to construct about 17 ships of the line, 27 frigates, 85 inferior vessels, 32 steamboats, arid 2 floating batteries. It demanded seven years and 93,000,000 f, (3.700.0001) to eaeouta the works. The delay and the money were granted. The year 1847 passed away in preparatory measures. The works in the arsena!s was conducted slowly and con fusedly. The expenses were ill calculated, and the sum voted fur the wages of the operatives was exhausted before the conclusion of the works which those wages were intended to represent. The money allotted for the purchase of materials was consequently applied to the payment of wages. In 1848 the naval administration appeared disposed to display more activity and more order. A statement of the constructions to be executed during the present year, to make up fur lost time, was laid before the public. It was satisfactory, but events prevented its accomplishment. The revolution of Feb ruary took place, and the new Government lost sight of the navy in the midst of the difficulties which surrounded them. The Constitutionnel then goes on to show that none of the measures adopted by the Government of the Republic have tended to the advantage of the navy. The abolition of slavery in the French colonies has forced 4,000 French seamen previously employed in the colonial trade to emigrate to the United States. Corporal punishment has been abolished in the French navy, and the comforts of the men have been increased at a cost of 1,900,000 f. (76,0001.), for the year 1848, but that measure has not added a ship nor a seaman to the French navy. The French navy now consists of 24 sail of the line afloat, 38 frigates, and 86 steam-vessels. Of those 24 ships of the line, 12 require to be replaced in conse quence of their age. Ot the 38 frigates there are 19 condemned, and of the 86 steam-boats not more than 70 are effective. The situation of the French fleet is, in fact, such as it was on the Ist of January, 1846. As compared with the fleet of Great Britain that of France is comparatively insignificant. As compared with the other maritime powers it comes after Russia; and if the 12 ships of the line and the 19 frigates arc deducted, the French fleet falls short of those of Sweden and llol land. The Constitationnel next observes, that it is im possible the French fleet can be improved during the present year, inasmuch as the ➢Minister of Finance re quires a diminution of 30,000,000'. (1,200,0001.) to be saved in the Navy budget. That announcement has caused the utmost consternation amongst the operatives employed in the French dockyards. SERIOUS FIRE IN LIVERPOOL.—A little before six o'clock yesterday morning smoke was discovered issuing from the premises of Mr. Wright (late Rigby and Wright), timber-merchant, of Nelson-street, immediately contiguous to and in the rear of Dr. Raffles's chapel. The fire, the origin of which is unknown, broke out in the lath-room, whence, from the extrcme dryness of the materials, it rapidly spread to the surrounding timber; the store-room in the yard, forming one side of Grif fiths-street, was completely destroyed, and its valuable contents, chiefly mahogany and furniture woods, fell a prey to the flames. The engines of the West of Eng- Ltrurpuul Mu-pollee wire quickly on the spot, but, from a total absence of water from the mains for a considerable time after their arri val, they were rendered inoperative. At the time we are writing (9 A.m.), the fire is burning vigorously on the site of the store-room, but all danger of its extending is happily past. The premises and stock, we learn, were insured, but whether so as to cover the damage, which must necessarily be very great, we do not know, Mr. Wright being absent from town. Had the flames extended in the opposite direction to which they did, in all probability that beautiful structure, Great George street Chapel, would ere this have been again in ruins.— Liverpool Standard. CITY COMMISSION or SEWERS.—Yesterday a pub lic court of the Commissioners of Sewers for the city o London was held at their council chamber in the Guild. hall; Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair. The statement of Mr. Heywood, the surveyor, who had been specially appointed to report upon the practicability of emptying the cesspools in the City by night instead of by day,was read. It recommended in general terms, as these ope rations were to a great extent inoffensive, that they should be carried on as much as possible in the daytime, particularly where the traffic was not likely to be much interfered with.—Mr. Kemp said if this recommendation were acted upon they should render themselves liable to a penalty under the Act, which expressly provided that these operations should not be carried on between the hours of five in the morning and eleven at night. —Mr. Heywood skid that the Act referred to the empty ing of cesspools by night carts. Tho present process, vewas wholly inoffensive. — Mr. Blake and ot her hCoowmemisrs'iuners concurred in this view of the case.—Mr. Deputy Cornet' inquired whether this sewage matter, as it was all deodorised, would not be extremely valuable as a manure, sod whether persons might not be found who would be glad to take it away at their own expense. This would be much preferable to car rying it all into the Thames.—Mr. Heywood said that, no doubt, when this matter was prepared and redueed to a highly concentrated state it became extremely useful as manure; but, in its present condition, it was not so valu able that any one would remove it without being paid.— The report was at length received and ordered to be entered on the minutes. The various accounts were then audited and agreed to, and the Court adjourned. THE INTEREST ON TIIE GREEK LOAN —A further instalment of interest due to British creditors to the amount, as is reported, of 8,0001., reached Malta on the 7th September, in five-franc pieces, by her Majesty's steamer Meteor, from the Phone of Athens, t o the con signment of the Governor of Malta, who immediately paid same into the commissariat or military chest, autho% rised to receive same under orders from the Right lion. piece H-o the Lords of the Briti , l l Treasury.

Martin has been long before the public as a pugilist ,• his game battles with 0. Attenbury and Williams, at the outset of his career, arid his snore skilful, though less fortunate ones with Tom Lane, Phelps, of Brighton (twice), to gether with his defeat of Barnash, cn this very ground, bear testimony to high skill and good eou faience on the part of his limiters. True it is, that there mete not wanting those aho insinuated that Mertin's went of success in his remarkehle heal, a with Phelps and L.,ne was attributable ;either to a leek of game and per,everanee than to physi -al tneapacity. e'uili, however, as witnessed to-clav'a con test %sill con 'ess their error, for, though def . , feed. Martin's conduct e ae c urageous in the extreme, end! life stmegt h left him, which it always appeare to do after a certain p• rind, ehatever Lad or advantage he may have ac quired by his skill and science. Hayes is, in comparison eith Alar:in, a fresh youth, as yet in his novitiate, and a I Ivey plant if not brought too rapidly forward, against a first-rater, apt as he has shown himself, at each succeed ing appearance in the roped arcs;, first with Finn; se condly with Cooper; and now with the accomplished Mar tin, he has much to learn before it will be safe to match him with the top of the light weights, as was yesterday talked of among his more sanguine admirers. The inner and outer rings being duly formed by the veteran commissary, at twenty-five minutes before twelve, the men advanced from their corners and shook hands manfully, and threw themselves into position. Martin enquired by Turner and young Samba, while Maley and Barnash waited on Hayes. The weights were —Martin, 9st. 71b., Hayes 9st. 6ib. Hayes having the advantage of length of reach, Martin his balance of weight in muscularity of build. The sparring, feints, and stops were numerous and skilful, and elicited loud applause from the critics in this branch of the arts of attack and defences. Hayes at length got in a trifling tap on Martin's left eye, which flushed the skin a little; Martin returned heavily with the right on the body; pretty mutual stops of left-handed counters, at length brought them to a rally, when Martin got home over Ilayes's left eye. The second round was similar in cha racter, Ilayes.undermost in close. In the. third Hayes got the first event, . by drawing trio purple fhiltrellg,fitly— from Martin's olfactory organ, and threw him in the close. Thenceforth, the battle progressed until the 20th round with much equality of skill, courage, and merit, Hayes appearing the fresher and stronger man, while Martin was • the more skilful in the use of both hands. Ile frequently visited Hayes's side with his right, in a style that appeared considerably to embarrass the young one's left, and deprive it of much of its hitting power. About this point Martin, who had for 62 minutes, boldly faced his man with a pros pect of victory (several times, after slipping down, leap ing up, and courageously renewing the round), visibly and remarkably fell off. Ile b -came slow, and after being thrown in the 21st round, was ineffective, and completely out in his distance, throwing away both hands widely. We cannot say that Hayes became confident, for from the outset he fought with excellent temper, coolness, good humour, and determined courage. In the 27th and 28th rounds Martin, after a random attempt at a rally to turn the tide in his favour, went down, and his last chance was out. Turner threw up the sponge, and at 93 minutes from the time of first crossing hande, Hayes stepped across the ring once more to shake hands with his defeated antagonist. Martin has thus been de feated in four battles out of the last five, a proof that mere skill, unless seconded by a due quantum of lasting qualities, cannot successfully oppose youth, coolness, strength, and resolve. Shortly after the battle the . victor was seen walking the . common enjoying a cigar, the outward signs of his recent affray being by no means prominently remarkable.—Advertiser. ROYAL EXCHANGE CHIMES. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. SlR,—Allow us, in justice to ourselves, to state that the ill effect of the tune " Goo' sive the Queen," as now played, is caused by its injudicious arrange ment. We have the written testimony o f Mr. T. Cooke and other high musical authorities as to this fact, and as the Gresham Committee referred the matter to Mr. Cooke, he arranged the f o ur t unes intended to be played in such a way as to b r i ng ou t the best points and effects that can be'produced on bells. Two of these tunes were completed and played to his satisfaction, but for some reason, never explained to us, they were taken off the barrel imme diately after his death, and the public were never allowed to hear them. The present miserable affair was then set after a similar fashion to that of 'which Mr. Cooke complained: Four tunes were contracted for to he played upon the bells ; at present, however, the monotonous chime brings into action every three hours the six smallest bells, out of a set of fifteen. We have plenty of tes timony from high authorities as to the merits of the bells, and when justice is done to them, and they are properly treated after the suggestion of Mr. Cooke, we will guarantee such a set as will give general satisfaction. We are merely doing our duty to the public and ourselves in explaining the matter, and if no better arrangement is made, and no other tunes are played, we must absolve ourselves from any blame. We bare spared no pains, and will spare none, to render the chimes excellent in every particular. We can refer to the numerous peals and sets of bells we have made, and are constantly making, as to our capabilities, and it is somewhat singular tliat, with a reputation of a century and daily increasing experience and practice, we should incur so much obloquy in a solitary instance. We are, Sir, your respectful servants, CHARLES and GEORGE MEARS. Bell Foundry, Whitechapel, Sept., 1848. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE YACHT MAUD.—The beautiful schooner-yacht Maud, Leigh, Esq., of the Royal Yacht Club, from Cherbourg, in running for our roads on Friday evening, about five o'clock, struck on the Musco rock, one of the Lower Heads, where she hung nearly a quarter of an hour. Captain Sadler, of shla Sir Francis Drake, ran close to her, and offered to render any assistance, which, however, was declined. It was discovered soon atter the Sir Francis Drake had left her that she was filling fast; the wind, however, being fair, she fortunately got into the harbour about seven o'clock. They were then compelled to engage a number of hands to bale out the water to keep her from sinking, the water being above the cabin deck. On the tide leaving her it was discovered that her fore foot was split, the deadwecd and garbourd streaks started about twelve feet, and her false keel a little rubbed. The whole of the repairs were finished in a werkmanlike manner. We were happy to liter the owner, Squire Lt igh, tell the captain of her, that he did not blame him in the least for the accident occurring. We strongly advise our harbour master, Captain Collis, to have these sunken dangers buoyed on, which would evidently be of service to our pilots as well as other nautical men , as the glare of the setting sun sometimes makes it difficult to see the leading marks; at the same time we strongly recommend oar yachting gentry never to attempt our roadstead Sun, Sept. 20. wi l th ,o orutexati p nguishing Fires, the apparatus should be ilot.— Guernsey readily distinguishable night and day, and alwa) s ready for use without any appliances which may be mislaid or forgotten at the very instant they are needed. With this view, Mr. Newlands says—" I propose that several lamp-posts in each street should he made receptacles for the water apparatus, the pedestal being made of a size sufffient to contain it. In each limp-pedestal I propose that an upright hydrant be fixed, with a coil of hose, sufficient for washing the streets, or filling the watering carts, constantly attached. The cock box I would fix in the footway. alwes— dee -We arc ei ins lamp posts, and at a constant distance from them. In the event of a fire, the firemen's hose would be instantly at tached to the hose of the standpipe by a coupling screw. The pedestals for the water apparatus being square, and those for the common lamps being round , would point out at once the place of the water apparatus; and, if necessary, the panes of such lamps might be of coloured glass, as a still greater distinctive mar k by night. Every superintendent of scavengers and every fireman would t b n e t p h r e ov p i e d d e e d st s a v l i t t h h e a k k e e y y e t f o t t h h e e e d L oo k r w o ? f n t l h d e e p n e n d s e ta s n ta t l ly , a r n e d . ythpunsrptnhseer.e wlonulptadbeeesnowhd,erleayleinmpu-sipnegstathearweanteert might be used as guard posts at the entrance to na r row r ftho e ra q i v an i n r ; ed, the pedestals merely mig ht be used, and th ese streets." The lamp irons thus made prominent, might, he thinks, bo rendered still more useful by a label at tached to their tops. On these would be cast the names of the streets (as at Edinburgh, we may add), and on the centre panel the distance in miles and furlongs from the Exchange. Coach and car fares might be thus regu lated.—Builder.
