THE WEDDING-DAY SUI'l Some time has elapsed, since I ventured to render A mark of respect to the feminine gender ; And doubtless the ladies will think it high time That the poet of MOSES should give them a rhyme. Well, it happened one day, when the weather was calm, That George and Jemima walked oat arm in erns, And began to converse (as yoa'll guess from the heading) Concerning a suitable suit for the wedding. " My dear," said the gentleman, " where should I go " For an elegant wedding-day suit—do you know ? " I'm aware of your judgment is all that you view, " So I'm anxious, my love, to be guided by you." " Well as that is the case," said his miss, with a smile, " I shall fix upon tailors renowned for their style ; " By all means, dear George, let your wedding suit be " One of MOSES and SON'S, if you wish to please me. "I have seen many fashions, but certainly none, " In any way equal to MOSES and SON. " The ease, aid the fit, and the general grace, "Cause a very material change so take place. " I was thinking of giving a hint such as this, " But I feared your high spirit would take it amiss." "Oh no," rejoined George, " I nay candidly say, that to your better judgment I always give way ; " And believe, my dear, our opinions are one, " With regard to the dress of E. MOSES and SOS." N.B.—E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their pre sent Stock of juvenile attire. The designs are elegant and unique, and ths workmanship and materials arc such as to command univer sal approbation, while at the same tiins the prices are unusually mo derate. LIST OV PRICES.

I WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Dorchester, July 21. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WlLuams.) Louisa Jarvis was indicted for the wilful murder of her female child, Mary Ann, at Shaftesbury, in this county, on the 27th of March last. Mr. Hodges appeared for the prosecution. No coun sel was instructed for the prisoner; but at the request of the Learned Judge, Mr. Stock took the depwitions, and promised to watch the case on her behalf. It appeared from the evidence that, on the 13th of March last, the prisoner went into the Shaftesbury union, being then in a state of pregnancy. On the 16th of that month she was delivered of a female bas tard child. The mother and the child went on well for several days. The mother, however, refused to suckle the child, and it was in consequence brought up by hand. On the night of the 27th of March the child cried excessively, and in a most unnatural mauuer, as if in great pain. The mother was in conse quence again applied to to suckle it, but she resolutely refused to do so. On the following morning the appear. ance of the child was much altered. She had a mark under the left ear as if she had been pinched. On the Sunday after the poor child died. The opinion of the medical witnesses was, that the death was caused by con gestion of the lungs. After the inquest which was holden upon the body, the governor of the workhouse went into the room where the prisoner was. The un happy woman observed to him, " I did it, sir." He thereupon asked her how she did it; she replied, "I tried to squeeze it with my fingers, but as I could not manage that, I knelt upon it with ray knees and did for it." At this time she was in a great state of excitement, crying and tearing her h a i r. This excitement continued to in crease, and in a d a y or two afterwards it became neces sary to send h er to a lunatic asylum, where she re• mained until th e d ay b efore her trial. It was further proved that th ere h a d been insanity in her family; and the surgeon said that her face bore indications of here ditary insanity. The prisoner was acquitted on the ground of insanity. OXFORD Worcester, July 21. CROWN COURT. —(Before Mr. Baron Rom%) The Court w as occupied a great part of the day in dis posing of cases unfit for publication. No trial of import ance came on. for a highway robbery on that occasion, accompanied with violence. There were several counts is the indictment, to meet every conceivable suggestion as to the time of the rob bery, whether before or after death. Mr. Willmore and Mr. Denison conducted the case on the part of the Crown; Mr. Macaulay and Mr. Adams appeared as counsel for the prisoner. Mr. WILLMORE opened the case for the prosecution, and narrated the circumstances at great length; but as they have been brought repeatedly before public notice a:ready, in connexion with the charge of murder founded upon the same case, and which was tried at the last assizes, it is unnecessary to repeat them again here. Numerous witnesses fully supported the Learned Counsel's statement. We subjoin the evidence of a new witness. William Fell.—l am a bricklayer. I came in the lat ter end of December to Kirton. It was several weeks before this occurred. I mean the latter end of the first shooting month (September). Was living there with a woman. On Saturday, the fore end of the day, I had been at the Greyhound Inn. Went home afterwards. Was at two or three public•houses in the course of the day. I went to bed at about seven or eight o'clock. I had some words with her. I left her some time about the middle of the night. I went down hill as far as the Gainsborough-road, turned to my left, and went down a,lane leading to the G a i ns b oroug hs roa d. I laid myself down by a haystack. It was a round one. I don't know whether I had any sleep or not. I heard a dog bark that appeared to be very savage. There was a hedge between use and the road. I gut over a hedge, and went into another field, and laid myself down and crept lull-length on the ground to the hedge by the road. I saw that man (the prisoner) and another scuffling. Travis hit the other with a stick on the head, and the man seemed to full back into the hedge. Travis fell down upon him, and after they had been down some time, I heard something like coin rattle. Travis then went back towards Kirton. The man said, " Travis , if you rob, don't murd er me ." Th en T rav i s, a f ter he bad got a few yards, turned round and downed him again, and after they had been down some time the man's throat seemed to rattle as if he was being choked, and there was a stamping or kicking of a foot and leg. Then Travis rubbed his band upon the grass or ground, I can't say which. He then rubbed his hand upon a gate or stone. He then went away off towards Kirton. I got over the hedge, and wont across two or three fields, and then came back into the lane through the same gap I got through before. I walked as far as the Gainsborough-road, didn't know where I was, and stopped to think a bit, and found myself right opposite to Travis's house, and I went across their stack yard, and into a sort of greenhouse or summerhouse. When I had been there five or six minutes Travis came up to the door. I don't know whether he knocked or not, but there was a rattling, and there soon came a woman down, and she let him in. I stopped there a good way on to an hour, to see if he'd come out again. I then went home, and went to bed, and when I'd been in the house the value of twenty minutes or half an hour, the clock struck five. I did not go before the co roner. I had known Travis pretty nearly from my first going there. Cross-examined by Mr. MACAULAY—I came from Grimsby to Kirton. I did not live there a year. Before that time I lived at a place called Barrow, with a master bricklayer. Before that time I came from Hull. I don't know what felony is. I never was tried for stealing a watch. I've been taken up for two or three drunken sprees. Mr. Wright and I were drinking together. He didn't know what had become of it (the watch). I was not tried for it. I was tried for stealing some money from a marl named Osborne, at Louth, within a day or two of my coming there. I've spent two years and eight months at Leeds. A place (named) six miles from Louth, is my native place. I had a dog with me. He didn't bark. He lay by my side. I wasn't prepared to go before the coroner or the magistrates. I had a swelled face and a black eye, and some blood about one. I told George Travis (the prisoner's brother) and his wife about this. I never worked for a Mr. George Travis. He is a master bricklayer. I have not tried to get money from Mrs. Travis. I have had a sovereign from them, and never worked for him. I have also had a sovereign from the prisoner. Before Travis was com mitted, this time, I was examined two or three times before the magistrates. The magistrates did not say that unless I told a different tale I should be transported. When I was taken before the magistrates, I had about me the account of the coroner's inquest, cut out of a newspaper ; not an account of the last trial here. I saw Travis strike him with a stick. It was a very heavy blow. I have a song-book which I borrowed of young Spencer, the baker, and it had Travis's name in it. I had several knives in my house. I knew that a reward of 100/. had been offered. I saw handbills about the 1001. reward. It struck fire o'clock twenty minutes after I got in. The woman was asleep. I put my mark to what was written down when I was t xamined before the magistrate. I did not say I could'nt write. I wasn't asked. The gentleman told me to put my mark, so I put it. If you were to tell me to write my name I should write it. The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. MACAULAY addressed the jury for the defence. His LORDSHIP, in summing rip the case, appeared to assume that the jury would attach no weight whatever to the evidence of the man Fell. The jury, in less than five minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was thereupon sentenced to transportation for the term of his natural life. This terminated the criminal business of these:assizes, that on the civil side having been concluded shortly before five o'clock. £3OO dated 12th January, 1848, No. 11,891 £320 12,922 £2OO „ 11th January „ £4O „ Bth January „ £2O „ Gth January „ 13,064 49,233 33,147 Payment of the Notes has been stopped at the Bank.

The business of the assizes for this county commenced this morning, before Mr. Baron Parke, in the Nisi Prius Court, and Mr. Justice Maule, in the Crown Court. The cause list contains an entry of thirteen actions, most of which are of considerable pecuniary importance, end some of public interest. The calendar contains the names of twenty-five prisoners. Two of the prisoners have been committed for arson, one for burglary, four for cutting and wounding, one for rape, one for placing obstructions across a railway, and the rest for offences of minor gravity. William Ward was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Palmer and Mr. Burcham conducted the prosecu tion; Mr. Couch defended the prisoner. The perjury charged was committed in a paltry case in the County Court. The prisoner was found Guil:y. Sentence deferred. The other cases were not of general interest. HOME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsfo r d, July 22. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLTKAN and a Common Jury). ROBERTS, CLERK, V. TUCKER, CLERK. This was an action brought by the Rev. Mr. Roberts, the stipendiary curate of St. BotolWs, C o l c h es t er , against the Rev. Mr. Tucker, the incumbent of that parish, to recover damages for a breach of contract. The declaration alleged that an agreement was entered into between the parties, by which, in consideration of the plaintiff duly performing the duties app er t a i n i ng to his office of curate, and to the satisfaction of the Bishop, &c., the defendant undertook to pay him a certain 'Mi• pend derivable from the Queen Anne's Bounty fund, and also to take the necessary steps required to be adopted by the incumbent of a parish to obtain from a certain society, celled the Curates' Aid Society, an additional allowance of 701. per annum, and that the defendant ne glected to perform this latter portion of his agreement, and consequently the plaintiff had been deprived of the additional stipend, and this action was brought to re cover the amount of that stipend for the period for which it had not been paid through the alleged neglect of the defendant. There were several pleas put upon the record by the defendant. There were several pleas put upon the record by the defendant, but the principal one was a denial that any such agreement as the one alleged in the declaration had been made by him. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Ogle were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Montagu Chambers and Mr. Peacock for the defendant. Callaghan, D. Devereux, John T. Fox, Richard M. Greene, John The caso having occupied the Court a considerable me,: Mr. Justice COLTMAN. said he had - notioubt the agree ment came within the statute of frauds. There might also be considered a doubt whether the plaintiff had proved the contract he bad set up, but it wus not ne cessary to discuss that point as he was clearly of opinion that upon the former point he must direct a nonsuit. The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited. WORTIJERN CliCUlT.—York, July 21. CROWN COURT.— (Before Mr. Justice Edmv..) Joseph Itedgwich, Richard Lodge, and George Mathews, were charged with h av i ng feloniously cut and woun d ed Noah Hook, with i n t ent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Overend an d M r. Hardy were for the prosecu tion ; Mr. Jo se ph P o l lock defended Redgwick and Mathews, and Mr. P r i ce defended Lodge. The prosecutor, Noah hook, a gamekeeper to Mr. T. W. Beaumont, of B reton Park, near IVakefield, stated that whilst he w as on watch,in company with other keepers, on the n i g h t o f the 21st of May lust, he heard a gun fired in a wh ea t fi e l d near to where they were watching. On lo o ki ng i nto the field the watchers saw ' three or four men, w h om they pursued, the prosecutor being the most active and foremost in the pursuit. When they approached to within twenty yards of the men, they stopped and pointed their guns at the prosecutor, but they did not fire. The men then turned round and ran off, closely followed by the prosecutor and his com panions. When at a distance of seven or eight yards from the objects of their pursuit, the men stopped and made a furious attack upon Hook and the watchers with their gun-stock, hitting them upon the side of their heads, and thereby inflicting several dangerous wounds. Redg wick was taken into custody upon the spot. Mathews and Lodge escaped, but in their haste their gun-stocks were left behind, and wer e identified as belonging to them. The jury, after a very protracted consultation, re• turned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, and they were sentenced to be transported for fourteen years each. MIDLAND CIRCUIT. —Lincoln, July 21. CROWN COURT.—(Befor e Mr. Justice PATTEsox.) Elizabeth Garner, a little girl of pleasing appearance, only thirteen years of age, was capitally indicted for adminiatering to Mary Smith, her mistress, a certain deadly poison, to wit, ar sen i c , w i th i ntent to kill an d murder her. Mr. Wildman, assisted by Sir Eardley Wilmot, con ducted the prosecution; Mr. Flowers appeared as coun sel for the prisoner. It appeared that the girl had left her parental home for the first time, and entered into the service of the fiatrfinrohm"ts h e e c ju g , prosecutrix, a bedridden old woman, res idi ng at C a l ce b y, in this county. She became uneasy i n h er pl ace, net i t Il i i 1 t b t y ie , because she was ill-used at a ll, b ut s i m pl y b ecause she was unhappy at leaving an d being away anal y zed ra it t her home, and oao day findi ng some f agwater (a mixture containing arsenic, so ft soap , an d water, and used to destroy vermin o n s h ee p) i n a j ar in a cupboard, she took half a cup f u ll an d p oure d i t into a i , jbuyg for o f ' her milk mistress,she had who d fetched renkm so from e o a f The mistress soon vomited a good deal,and b e lr. h . i the surgeon, was sent for. The mistress ga v remainder of the milk in the jug, an and found it to contain arsenic. He analyzed the vomit nt to con f ess also without detecting any, but it was not th e fi rst. The vomiting and timely remedies used probabl y saved the poor woman's life, and the surgeon stated th at she was now out of danger, though still suffering fr om the effect. The only evidence to prove that she knew th at she had administered poison, was her own confession to the sur geon, made in the presence of the prose cutr i x and of Mrs.tte d B eioguhtbtoouhr.er no eudemsuuorgeoa having first a e the confession was admitted as follows: —~ ‘ I knew it st r h u a n t t he e n ' held l n d was poison; I believed it would kill , ' the w oman; I gave it her to be set free from my place. Mrs. Brunton, the neighbour, being ca ll ed to corro borate, stated that the surgeon did say, .. i t Would be better for her if she would confess." The counsel for the prisoner then objected to the con fession being received as evidence. but, The Learned JUDGE, after conferring with tho Lord Chief Justice, determined to keep the surgeon's evidence before the jury, and reserve the point, if necessary. Mr. FLOWERS having addressed tho jury for the defence, His LORDSHIP SPmmed up the case to of the jury, ob- serving that between the age seven and fourteen 'ears an infant was presumed to be irresponsible cri minally ; but then malice will supply the deficiency of age ; and it was a question fur the jury whether there was here sufficient evidence of malice to supply it, and to satisfy them that there existed a mischievous discre tion, and a consciousness of the nature of the act done. They must take into consideration what she had sa id to the surgeon, and if that had been improperly received, she would have the benefit of it. lie certainly should not have re ce i v ed the evidence if what the surgeon had in the first instance said to her been previously disclosed. The jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. His LORDSUIP then feelingly addressed the prisoner, and concluded thus—Sentence of death will be recorded only against you, and I shall recommend her 'Majesty, who, I have no doubt will attend to it, that your life iiee spared, though upon what terms I cannot say."

The Select Committee appointed to try the petition against the return of Mr. Cornewall Legh, at the late election, met tor the first time to-day at eleven o'clock. It is composed of the following Hon. Members:—Lord Courtenay (Chairman), Right lion. Sidney Herbert, Lieutenant-Colonel I3uldero, Mr. Mangles, and Sir De Lacy Evans. - - Counsel for the sitting Member, Mr. Merewether and Mr. Cole; agent. Mr. Cole. Counsel for the petitioners, Mr. Sergeact Kinglake, Mr. Edwin James, and Mr Phinn; agent, Mr. Coppock. The petition alleges bribery and treating. The peti tioners have abandoned the charges of bribery, and in tend to rely only upon those of treating. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE opened the case, and argued that the statutes against treating (7 William HI. and 5 and 6 Vic.) were equally applicable to counties and boroughs. After the writ, with the return and the poll-books, had been put in, the petitioners proceeded with evi dence of agency of carious persons on behalf of the sitting Member. Mrs. Bagulay, landlady of the Red Lion, at Hale. near Altrincham, was called to prove treating. The witness (who was not cross.examined) stated that several persons delivered refreshment tickets to her, and were supplied with dinners on the first day of polling. Had not been paid for these tickets, and did not know to whom she was to apply for payment. Could not tell what was written on the tickets, and had given them to her son, with whom she believed they still remained. At four o'clock the Committee adjourned until twelve on Monday (this day). ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE TOWN-CLERK OF GREENOCK. GREENOCK, JULY 20.—This afternoon, at about a quarter to four o ' c l oc k, as M r. John Kerr ' Gray, town clerk, was passing along Hamilton -street, between the Vennel and Watson's-lane, a man named Thomson, an auctioneer, crossed over to him from the opposite side of the street, and looking Mr. Gray full iu the face, drew a large horse-pistol from under his coat, and fired it at him. Mr. Gray staggered a few paces into the shop of Mr. M'llwraith, hosier, who, having heard the report, has tenrd out of his back shop and caught Mr. Gray in his arms, as he was sinking on the floor. Drs. M'Gowan and Henry, whose consulting-rooms are in the vicinity, immediately repaired to Mr. M'll wraith's shop, where they found Mr. Gray seated, and very weak and faint. They tore open the upper part of his dress, and discovered that the bullet had en. tered his chest at the right side, and passed right through to the inner surface of the left side, without wounding the heart or lungs. A litter was forthwith procured, and Mr. Gray was carried over to the White Hart Hotel, where several other medical gentlemen were speedily in attendance. The ball, we are informed, has been extracted; and Mr. Gray, who is highly esteemed as an amiable, fueling-hearted gen tleman, is going on favourably. The cause of this dreadful outrage, happily of an unwonted kind in Scot land, is said to have been that Thomson, who used to conduct sales at the Cross Shore, was obliged to do so in rotation with other auctioneers; and he fancied that Mr. Gray had something to do with the depriving him of his monopoly. When he fired the pistol he delibe rately dropped it on the pavement, and walked com posedly up the Vennel. He then began to run; but two men pursued and apprehended him. He did not deny having discharged the pistol, and said it should have been done a t we l vemont h ago . S ome pow d e r an d f another bullet were found in his pocket. Half-past 10 P.m.

STAFFORDSHIRE. SATCIZDAI.—The usual ordi ang of the shareholders in this the station in this town to-day. , M.P., occupied the chair, and there was a very numerous attendance of proprietors. Mr. SAatLTDA, the secretary, read the report of Mr. G. P. Bidder, the engineer to the company. It stated that the line was opened between Stoke and Norton-bridge (on the North-Western line) in April, and that its working had been most satisfactory; the lino between Stoke and Colwiek had been retarded according to the instructions of the directors, and the continuance of wet weather during the spring had necessarily retarded the works upon the other portions of the line. Th e v i a d uct at Congleton was eomplete, with the exception of one pier and two arches, which had to be reconstr uc t e d, and at the D a n e v i a d uc t a ll th e piers were complete, and the centres set for seven arches. Mr. Bidder, according to instructions, bad computed the amount of the compa n y' s ca pi ta l account , including stations, sid ings, turnt a bl es , water cranes , & e. , and carrying stuck, locomotive engines and workshops, and three years; maintenance of the railway, tind estimated It at 3,400,0001. This, as compared with the Parliamentary estimates, after deducting 490,0001. for stations, carriages, workshops, arid three years' maintenance ; also, leo,oool, excess on the land, owing to the purchase of Niel mines, and other matters not contemplated by the land-valuers; and also, 74,3711. Is. Bd. extra expenditure in Perlin went, shows that the actual cost will be within the ori ginal estimates ; and Mr. Bidder expressed it as his opinion that no railway of the same Jcngth (viz., 128 miles), with works of the same magnitude, with so effi cient a carrying stock, stations, and equipments, had over been completed at a less cost. Ho believed, too, that it admired of being:as economically worked a,s it had been economically constructed. The report of the directors was next read, in which they announced that they had followed the course pur sued in their last report of completing successively dif ferent lengths of the line. The length from the Pones ries to Uttoxeter, and from Crewe to Burton, 44 miles, would be completed in August and September ; Ctin gleton to Colwich, 24i miles, in September ; Congleton to Macclesfield, seven miles, in March, 1849 ; and Ut toxeter to North Rode, 274, in September, 1849. The length from Stoke to Norton Bridge, NI, was opened in April, and had realised in two months a net profit of 1,6681. The directors observed that although this was beyond their anticipations, still it would be futile to found any calculations with respect to the whale under taking upon this partial commencement. It had, how ever, determined two circumstances of great importance, via., that the tonnage upon what may be termed the competing part of the canal had not been diminished by the opening of the railway ; and, secondly, that, great economy in the expenses of the two (canal and railway) might be affected by a judicious combination of the joint staff. The report goes on to say:— " After a careful investigation, it has been ascertained, as will be seen by reference to the report of the engineer, that the amount required to complete the whole works and plant of the railway will be met by the subscribed capital of the company, a circumstance, as your directors believe, almost without precedent in railway history. Ono more call of 2/. 10s. will be required in the course of the present year. It is proposed to make this in the month of September. A further amount of 21. 10s. will insure the completion of the line, but this call will not be made till 1849, even if it should be necessary at all, a contingency dependent upon the issue of debentures. On this point your directors have some hesitation in giving an opinion. They aro determined not to sacrifice the true and permanent interest of their shareholders for the sake of a present advantage in the market price of the shares, and they have uniformly refused, in times and under circumstances far more adverse titan the present, to issue debentures bearing interest above five per cent. At this rate they have hitherto been enabled to megotiate but a small sum; but when it is recollected that your de bentures are secured, not only by the revenue of the railroad, now partially and within twelve months to be en tirely opened, and upon which 15/. a share, amounting to 2,522,605/. sterling, will have been paid up, but also upon the canal, yielding a act revenue of from 80,000/. to 60,000/. a year; and further, that the debentures are for money raised, not in addition, but in aid of your paid-up capital, and are guaranteed by calls which may be legally enforced upon the whole body of shareholders, your directors do not doubt but that, if this description of security should again obtain favour in the money mar ket, the North Staffordshire debentures will be those which will in a great degree command a preference. In the last report it was intimated that the interest received on capital and surplus proceeds on the canal would enable the directors to recommend a small dividend on the shares, and the amount of this was estimated at Ss. per share. Th e great d epression of trade during the last six months has, however, so far diminished the receipts of the canal, that it is not thought prudent consistently with the expressed determination of the directors to re frain, under any circumstances, from trenching MI their capital for the payment of interest, to recommend a dis tribution of more than 4s. per share, for the payment of which dividend a resolution will be submitted to you." The report having been adopted, A dividend of four shillings per share was declared payable on the 14th of August, and it was also an nounced that a call of 21. 10e. would be required ia the month of September. ! Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.

The tion have again b een made ac officers of the C ustoms department q uainte that inform has recently been received that the disease called " a Variola oris" is now greatly extendinc, in som e p ar t s o f t h e country, esp ec i a ll y in two of the e eastern counties, and that apprehensions exist that it may be caused by the importation of infected sheep, and they have therefore been directed to exercise the greatest vigi lance in enforcing the precautions previously authorised to be adopted in this matter, with a funkr notification that they are forthwith to state for the information of the board, whether it appears that sheep are now being imported at either of the parts of the kingdom in an infected state. Directions to the above effect have been given to the officers of the revenue at all the ports throughout the kingdom, and although there may, per haps, be no absolute necessity for apprehending the in fected state of the cattle which are at the present time imported from the Continent, yet these salutary pre• cautions taken by the Government authorities in the matter will be duly appreciated by the public.

It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, lie forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by him posee-sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect In his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

SHEFFIELD, SATURDAY MORNlNG. — Yesterday morn ing, between one and two o'clock, Hermitage -street was the scene of another alarming explosion, which has caused an extraordinary sensation to prevail, not merely in the immediate neighbourhood, but throughout the whole district, on account of the diabolical motives of the actors. It appears that at the time previously stated Mrs. Marples, the wife of a joiner's tool maker, was aroused from her slumbers by a loud explosion, accom panied with the smashing of window glass. She itn. mediately jumped out of bed, and took her children up, when she saw a flame shoot through the aper ture in the window shutters. Having. alarmed her brother, who was sleeping in an adjoining room, they went to the front and shouted " murder!" The night watchman immediately repaired to the place, when he found three men running away. He chased them, and having laid hold ot one the other two came up, knocked the watchman down. anti 'rescued his prisoner. Upon getting in front of the pre'rnies three ginger beer bottles, charged with powder, were found lying on the ground, and about two pounds of strong blasting powder. The glass in the window was broken, and it was quite evident that only one bottle had exploded, and that had fortu nately not entered the bed-room, on account of the win dow-shutters being partially closed. Had the three bottles entered the building', and exploded, every person therein must have been blown to pieces. Some time back the factory belonging to the same person was de stroyed by an i n f erna l mac hi ne . A person was appre hended during the day on suspicion of having been en gaged in thecase, but th e evidence not being suffi ciently strong against him he was discharged. SINKING OF A BARGE AND LOSS OF LIFE.--An accident, by which nine persons were immersed in the water, and one of them drowned, occurred on Saturday, in the attempt to raise a large sailing barge, sunk during the rough weather on Thursday, near the shore, at Barnes.

TORBAY, JULY 20.—The squadron continuesias much an object of interest as ever, and vast numbers of people flock on board the ships, notwithstanding the unfavour able nature of the weather, which has changed from fair to foul, and a gale is this day blowing from W.S.W., of no ordinary character. A trial was made to-day with the Prince Regent, 90 guns, Captain W. F. Martin; the Bellerophon, 80, Captain R. L. Baines, C. 8.; the Blenheim, 55 (450 h• p.), Captain Chads, C. 8.; the Amphion, 34. Captain Williams: and the Tweed corvette, is, Captain Lord Francis Russell. The latter was sent ahead by signal about six miles, the others being ordered to round her. The Prince Regent rounded the station-vessel first; secondly, the Bellerophon; then the Amphion; and lastly the Blenheim. All the vessels then made sail on the starboard tack, and returned to the bay, when the Blenheim and Amphion lost their jib-booms, and the Bellerophon her jib, which was rent in ribbons by the force of the gale. The Prince Regent, Bellerophon and Tweed arrived at the anchorage together. The Blenheim was detained some time to get a new boom fitted. The Amphion anchored last, but about sunset. The above was considered the only real trial any sec -1 tion of the squadron had had, the weather being pecu liarly suitable for testing heavy ships. The Blenheim is a surprising craft, and shows some very superior qualities for hard work at sea. The Prince Regent seems unquestionably tho noblest two-decker afloat. Her fleetness in sailing is remarkable, and she is beau tifully worked--so is the Bellerophon. The sloops have had no trial since the last wo detailed. The Mercury cutter went into Torbay after seven o'clock on Thursday evening, on her passage to Portsmouth. The squadron having been joined by the Stromboli steam-sloop, Captain Lord A. Beauclerk, from Ports mouth, with dispatches for the Admiral, sailed on Friday for Cork, touching at Plymouth. A Russian man-ot-war cutter arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, from Lisbon. The Bombay hired freight ship arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, with the depot of the 77th Regiment, from Cork. APPOINTMENTS.

ENTERTAINMENT TO THE LORD MAYOR.—On Saturday the ward of Queenhithe gave an elegant enter tainment at the Castle Hotel, Richmond, to their Al derman, the Right lion. the Lord Mayor, to mark their appreciation of his many estimable qualities, and the splendid hospitality which has characterised him in the discharge of his arduous duties as chief magistrate. Mr. Deputy Goss presii:ed, and the company, which num bered seventy, consisted of the chief inhabitants of the ward. The viands and wines were of the choicest de scription, and bore ample testimony to the well-known celebrity of the worthy host of the Castle. The usual toasts being drunk, Mr. Deputy Goss proposed " The health of his Lordship," who returned thank s in a nest and approp r i a t e speech, greatly to the satisfaction of the visitors present. They separated about ten o'clock, highly delighted with their evening's festivities.
