Emily Gibson, a young woman of prepossessing ap pearance, was brought before Mr. Hardwick under the following circumstances:— . Police-constable A 46, sa id that last evening, about six o'clock, he was on duty in Hyde -park, when he saw the defendant sitting on one of the seats crying bitterly, surrounded by a number of people. Witness went up to her and asked her the reason of her crying in that ,manner. She replied that her parents had turned her ot it of doors. She was quite penniless, and had no h o we to go to, and if some one did not assist her she must either commit suicide or go on the town. A lady and ge:itleman at that moment came up, and gave her some money and went away. Shortly afterwards a gentleman passed by, and on looking at defendant told witness that be had seen her in Regent's park the same morning, where she told him the same tale, and that be firmly believed her to be an impostor. Witness, in consequence of that information, took her into custody, and conveyed her to the station, where she was searched, and two shillings found upon her. Witness su b se quently went to her parents, who werehghlyre speetable people, residing at Lisson - grove , and i they both denied the truth of her statement. They were in the court now. The defendant's mother then stepped forward, and in tears informed the magistrate that the defendant had a very comfortab!e home, and pursued the business of a dress-maker. Latterly she had become acquainted with a young man in the neighbourhood, who had no doubt led her astray. She (defendant) left home on Saturday evening last at eight o'clock, promising to re turn in an hour; she, however, did not return, and she (witness) had no doubt that in consequence of her con duct she was afraid to come home. She would gladly forgive all that had transpired, and would most willingly take her home again. In reply to Mr. Hardwick, defendant said she left her home on Saturday last, in company with a young wan, who took her to a house in Little Church-street, Liason-grove, where she stayed till Monday morning. He then left her, and she was in such distress of mind that she was afraid to re turn home. She denied having been itt Regent's Park 3 esterday morning, and implored her mother to forgive her and receive her home again. Mr. HARDWICK, in a very kind manner,. pointed out to defendant the evil consequences that would follow if she persisted iu pursuing such a line of conduct, which was bringing ruin and destruction on herself, and dis grace to her family. She had made a bad return for the kind manner in which they had always treated her, and he sincerely hoped she would forsake such a loose kind 'of life before it brought her to utter ruin. He should .:now hand her over to the care of her p aren t s , an d trusted she would never act in such a foolish manner again. ri The defendant, who was in tears during the whole ; ;time, then left the court with her friends. cleansing have been — adopted in St. - Martin's and the neighbouring parishes by the National Philanthropic As sociation, in connexion with the Mount Saint Bernard Hospice. The system adopted is to divide the parish into districts, and to appoint one or more persons to each, whose duty i t is to be constantly on their beats be tween seven o'clock in the morning and seven i❑ the evening, thoroughly to cleanse the streets from all kinds of mud, dust, and filth. These persons, who are selected from the able-bodied poor in the workhouse, wear a kind of uniform, consisting of a blouse and cord trow sers, with a black oiled hat, having the words " Street Orderly, No. —," painted on it in white letters. They receive 3s. per week each, and the whole of their cloth ing, board, and lodging, the latter at the Mount Saint Bernard Hospice. It is gratifying to be able to add that they have hitherto conducted themselves with great diligence and proyriety, expressing themselves extremely grateful for the work provided them ; and that the effect of their labours has been greatly to improve the appear ance of the streets, and to add to the comfort of the in- The report stated that the directors regretted that the Bill was lost for power to make a railway across the Clyde, and form a junction of the lines of railway on the north and south sides of the river.

It has._ 1so prevented the company from proceeding with tlffi formation of the main line of railway, and has been a source of great loss and in jury to the interests of the company. The directors, under all the circumstances, intimated to the law agents of the College that, in consequence of the failure of the College agreement, the company are entirely relieved of any obligation that they may at any time have been liable under that Act and agree ment. In consequence of the non-payment of the second call made on the shareholders, except to a very limited extent, the directors were compelled to nego tiate for a loan of 25,0001. This sum will enable the directors in a great measure to discharge _thg pressing . obligations of the company. The directors have' also to state that several of them have interposed their per sonal security for payment of the interest on part of the above loan. The report was adopted ; and it was agreed to re scind the call of 2/. 10s. per share, and to make one of 5s. per share in lieu thereof. Thanks being voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. LORD JOHN RUSSELL.—On Thursday last, Lord John Russell, in passing through Blairgowrie, from Bal moral to Dunkeld, was waited upon by the Bailie and Council, for the purpose of presenting to him the fol lowing address, which he very condescendingly agreed to accept :—" To the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, First Lord of her Majesty's Treasury.

STEAM-vEsSELS.—It is required by a recent sta tute that on or before the last day of the present month the owners of all steam-vessels, whether they proceed to sea or not, transmit to the Board of Trade two declara tionsf the sufficiency and good condition of the hull of u of every steamer, and the good condition of the machi nery.By the 11th and 12th Victoria, it is provided that If the owners neglect to send the declarations they shall forfeit and pay the sum of 10!. for every day's delay, un- less such delay shall be accounted fur to the satisfaction having been of the Board of Trade. Cape of Good Hop e papers of the 25th July inform us that Pretorius had again raised the standard of re bellion against the Queen's authority. Troops were dispatched in pursuit of him, and Sir Harry Smith his apprehenshai. wou ld shortly follow. Sir Harry had offered 1,000/. for The celebrated Father Gentili, most distinguished formerly as an advocate in Italy, and latterly an eminent preacher in the Roman Catholic Church, died in Dublin of inflammation of the throat. The Father was well known in London. • t• to • to • to • to • to • ▪ to • ..... to • t• •• to ▪ tip ▪ to • to • • to , t• ...... ..... to 4 to' ..... . •••••• MP .... • d ..... to d . t o d ••••• - to ..... te habitants.

THE METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION AND THE METROPOLITAN SEWAGE MANURE COMPANY.— We allude with unfeigned regret, but without at pre sent expressing uny opinion on the merits of the case, to some recent' proceedings of the Metropolitan Com mission of Sewers. Our readers are probably aware that for some time past negotiations have been going on between that body and the Metropolitan Sewage Manure Company. That company claims a right under its Acts of Parliament to the waters of certain Sewers, which BUSINESS TO BE ATTENDED TO.—Between the 1st and 15th of the month the mayor and assessors in every borough are to hold courts for r ev i s i ng t h e burgess lists. On or before the 22d, the same lists being duly revised and delived by the mayor to the town-clerk, are to be by him kept, and copied into a book as the burgess-roll, copies of which are to be printed for sale. In this month, also, all courts for the revision of the county and borough Parliamentary lists, not previously held between the 15th and 30th of September, are to be held by the re vising barristers. During this month, under the 83d section of the Municipal Act, the borough justices are to appoint as many of the inhabitants as they may see fit as special constables. THE SOUTH• WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE SURREY AND SUSSEX ROADS TRUST. —Since the opening of the eztension line of the South-Western Railway from Nine Elos to the Waterloo-road, the trustees of the Surrey and i$ussex roads have intimated that it will be neces sary to erect new toll-gates, the ordinary income having been so greatly reduced by the railway, as to be quite insufficient to the reparation of the public roads. This announcement has created great dissatisfaction amongst the owners and occupants of household property, not only in all this part of the metropolis, hut in the various suburban districts, which must be more or less affected by the exaction of a fresh tollage. Several meetings have already been held in Camberwell, Walworth, and other places, for the purpose of resisting the threatened Infliction of new tolls. The Road trustees assert, how ever, that they have no other alternative, whilst other parties seem to be of opinion that the Railway Company having monopolized so much of the traffic, should be assessed in a proportionate degree for the maintenance of the public thoroughfares. The railway directors, naturally enough, demur to this proposition, the line having been already subjected to a heavy charge in the shape of highway rate. Should the road trustees put np any fresh gates, the matter will be brought before Parliament immediately on its re-assembling. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.— The through traffic of the Peterborough branch of this railway has been entirely stopped by the floods, which we understand have carried away one of the timber bridges. SOUTHEASTERN RAILWAY.—Gross traffic receipts for the week ending Sept. 30:—Passengers, first class, 11,859 ; second class, 32,917; third class, 34,673. Total, 79,449 passengers. Amount, 7,7431. 9s.; carrying ac count, 2,931/ 15s. 5d. Grand total, 10,675/ 4s. 5d. ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—About one o'clock on Monday morning the body of a man was discovered on the down line of this railway, in - the Meratham tunnel, near Reigate. When discovered, the body was frightfully mutilated, one leg and hand were cut from the body, and the other foot and hand much crushed. The remains of the unfortunate man, who is supposed to be a pedlar, were removed to a public-house at Red Hill to await the Coroner's inquest. A silver watch was found on the person of the deceased, marked " R. Watson, London, No. 5,157," the hands standing at twenty minutes to twelve, at which hour it is sup posed he must have been run over by a train. NOVEL USE OF CHLOROFORM.—Yesterday infor mation was received by the police, that a Mr. R. Nutley had been plundered about nine o'clock the previous evening of a s il ver watch an d appendages and his purse, containing 4/. in gold and 15s. in silver, by a female, Who accosted him in the King's-road, St. Pancras, and claim the commission is understood to resist. But the company also clailn a distinct right, as freeholders on the banks of the Kens ington Canal, to open a communication with the waters o f that canal. This right they have pro- ceeded to exercise, giving due notice to the Com‘mis• sioners of their intention ; but the Commissioners, after suffering the works to proceed nearly to a completion, have forcibly re moved the communicating pipe and made good the bank. They have also imposed a fine of 5001. upon the:company for executing the work without their consent, which consent the company contends that it is not bound to ask. A further fine of 501. has been imposed on the contractor. This is, of course, but an outline of one p;Art of the transactions which has taken place between the commission and the company. Though we pass no opinion at present on the merits of the ques tion at issue, we must express our sincere regret that the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers should have deemed such a strong course either necessary or expe dient. Unless the company have committed some graver offence than %the mistaken assertion of a right, the punishment certainly smacks of undue severity, if not of tyranny. ForAhe sake of the cause which both parties have at heart;•we trust that this untoward dispute may be amicably arranged ; but in the meantime it is right that both parties should feel that the eye of the public is upon them. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE..-0n Wednesday after noon, as severt .1 women were engaged in some agricul tural operation s in a field at Barnton, some cattle which were feeding near the place began to run at them, when they precipitate ly retreated to the palling, and attempted to climb over The women succeeded in making their escape, with th e exception of an old woman, about 75 years of age, of the name of Agnes Gay or Meikle, a widow, who was overtaken before she could effect her escape, by a, tail% which tossed her into the air, and, on her reaching the ground from the fall, again threw her up with his 'horns, when a carter, named Alexander Mitchell, boli ly came to the rescue of the unfortunate woman, and . trove away the animal. She was imme diately convey ed to her house at Davidson's Mains, and Dr. Balfour-as , nt for, upon whose arrival it was found that she had at stained injuries of a very serious character. Death put anA nd to her sufferings on Thursday eight.— Caledonian At - , Tcury. , ULSTER. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday at Belfast; Mr. J. Goddard in the chair. The report stated that 327,625 passengers were car ried on the line during the half-year ending 31st of August, and the receipts were 15,7151.; for the carriage of goods and parcels, 8,024/. ; total, 21,739/. ; cost of working the line, 8,216/. ; leaving a balance of 12,523/.; for the payment of interest on loans, 4,7611.; and for payment of a dividend, 7,761/. Of this sum the directors recommended a dividend of 13s. per share, and that the balance, 1,013/., be added to the reserve fund. The directors regret that the gross receipts do not equal those of the corresponding perio1 of last year. They had anticipated that the opening of the ex tended line to Armagh would have to a considerable extent counterbalanced the falling off which had shown itself last winter, in consequence of the gene ral depression ; but in this expectation they bad been disappointed. The increase in the working expenses over the corresponding period of last year, excluding the item of rates and taxes, amounted only to 563/., notwithstanding the increase in the quantity of work done, eleven miles having been added to the length of the line. The expenditure on capital was drawing to a conclusion; the accounts cannot, however, be closed for some time longer, as a few matters remain to be completed, in order to have the whole concern in effi cient working order. The engineer's report stated that the whole of the works on the line were substantially and well exe cuted; that the permanent way and working stock were in excellent order. ROYAL Mk LITARY ACADEMY.—We regret to state that scarlet fe• ver has Woken out amongst the gentle men cadets itt: the Royal Military Academy at Wool wich, and that: one of their number, Mr. William H. Persse, has fall en's victim to the disease. The Master- General of the, Ordnance, acting under the advice of the director of th , medical depart ment , Si r J o h n W e bb , immediately or 3ered all the cadets to quit the establish ment for a peri od of six weeks, until all danger of con tagion is remoi ed. It is understood, however, in order that the stud ie 3 of the cadets may not be retarded, that no vacation will take place at Christmas. The disease practical c l ass o f t h e R oya l has not show rt. itself the Arsenal, but ielaould it do so, the same course will be immediately adopted. The disease, which has now extended itse If to the academy, has been prevelant in the town of Woolt vich for the last two months, and has caused great mortality, especially amongst children. Although it on ginated in close and undrained localities, it has spread $o sonic of the open and healthy parts of the town. It was stated that about 2/. ,or 21. 10s. per share would bercalled up before the capital account could be closed ; that 40,0001. would clear off all the debts of the company. The engineer's salary had been re duced from 7001. to 4001. per annum. About 5,000/. was due on calls, and the parties in arrear were pay ing interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. It was ascertained that the company had lost 1/. per day since the fares were raised; but it was thought that in time this loss would disappear. It was decided to discontinue the third-class carriages, and give slow trains covered, in connexion with the goods trains, at stated hours. Resolutions were passed adopting the report; that directors be not allowed to travel on the line without paying their fares ; approving of the dividend of 13s. per share ; allowing the directors and auditor 3971. fpr their services during the year; and electing seven directors. Another for the discontinuance of Sabbath trains was negatived. After a vote of thanks to the chair man, the meeting separated.

Mr. Drummond appeared as the agent o f th e Con servatives, Mr. R. Russell for the F ree -T raders, and Mr. Corney for th e Reform ers. The Clerk of the Peace attended and d e li vere d i n the lists of the persons claiming to vote as f ree h o ld ers in the different parishes throughout the eas t ern division.

No case of any novel or in teresting character occurred in the revision of any of these lists. The court was very thinly attended the whole morning, the freeholders of the county ap pearing more interested in attending the fair, which commenced yesterday, than the Revision Court. The Learned Barrister attended at the Town hall, Reigate, to-day, at eleven o'clock, to revise the lists for Betchworth, Bletchingly, Buckland, Burstow, Caterham, Charlwood, Chipstead, Chels ham, Crowhurst, Farley, Gatton, Godstone, Reigate, Holley, Horne, Kingswood, Leigh, Limpsfield, Ling field, Mertsham, Newdigate, Hutfield, Oxted, Tan dridge, Tatsficld Tetsey, Warlingham and Welding ham. We read in the Moniteur de l'Arnve :—" A journal has announced that a commission had been formed by order of the executive power, for a new examination of the cases of the insurgents who have been ordered for transportation. Commissions have in fact been just instituted, under the title of Conseils de Clemente, not to revise the decisions come to by the military commissions, but to examine if there are grounds for an applica tion for grace in favour of a certain number among them. There is no question of new decisions which would require new interrogatories for the accused, and new hearing of witnesses. The inquiry submittt;1 to the Conseils de Clentence will have solely for result to submit to the chief of the Executive Power propo sitions for remitting the penalty of transportation." The Spanish Ambassador, the puke de Soto• mayor, had an audience on Saturday of the Chief of the Executive Government, and presented his letters of credence. The Alonileur contains the following :—" A note, dated the 4th ult., has been addressed by the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs to the legations accredited at Copenhagen, to notify to them the cessation of the block ade to which the ports of the north of Germany had been subjected. This measure was put into execution from the new convention of armistice concluded on the 26th August last between Prussia and Denmark, and ratified on the 1st ult. The blockade was to cease immediately after the exchange of the ratifica tions of that convention, and orders were in conse quence sent on the same day to the respective com manders of the Danish ships of war." SWITZERLAND. A Berne journal of the 28th ult. has the follow ing:— " The Minister of Austria has just sent a reply to the last note of the Vorort, relative to the measure taken by Marshal Radetzky against Tessino. It is tolerably favourable to the demands of the Directory. The following is the document in question :— " Zurich, Sept. 22. " The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Majesty to the Helvetian Confederation, has just received the note of the Vorort. He immediately hastened to comply with the request expressed in that communi cation. The 20 or 30 first passports for Tessino which were sent to the u n d ers i gne d rece i ved the visa of the Legation ; but, when, soon after, some hundreds arrived for him to wiser, he judged it proper, in order to regulate with certainty the communications be tween Tessino and the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, to come to an understanding with Marshal Radetzky, and for that purpose dispatched to hint a courier, whose return he expects in a few days. The un dersigned has also called the attention of Marshal Radetzky to certain arrangements to be taken, in order that the other cantons should not have to suffer from the measures taken against that of Tessino. He has likewise informed the Marshal of the report of the Committee of the Diet relative to the affair of Tessino—a report, which assures henceforward the intervention and control of the sovereign authority of the Confederation, in which the Marshal, as well as the Government of his Imperial Majesty, places full and entire confidence. The measures decided on by the federal authority will, without doubt, fully tranquillize the Marshal. It was with regret, and solely to fulfil the rigorous duties which are imposed on him, that his Excellency (the Marshal) decided to adopt the measures in question, and he will, doubtless, cause them to be discontinued as soon as he shall have recognized in the provisions of the Diet the guarantee of the execution of its decisions relative to the maintenance of neutrality in Switzerland. (Signed) " BARON DE KAISERFIELD.' A letter, dated Vienna, 26th tilt, states that Baron Jellachich has declared to Count Babna that he would not enter into negotiations with either the Emperor of Austria or with the King of Hungary, and that he would establish a new order of things at Pesth and at Vienna. Count Babna had confirmed the statement. On the 27th ult. the troops of the line took the posts at Carlsruhe in place of the national guard. It was said that the Republican prisoners were to be removed to Roatadt. A band of Republi cans went to Engen from Altdorf, entered . se veral houses by force, and were guilty of acts of violence towards functionaries and citizens. Se veral citizens of Todtmoos had stopped a carriage in which were some Republicans, who declared that they had only ammunition, but 14,000 florins were found in the vehicle and taken away. When Struve was taken prisoner to Schliengen, the communes through vt hich he passed were a prey to extraordinary agitation, and if Struve had not been protected by a very consider able armed force he would have been torn to pieces. The women cursed him. He was in a carriage, and held his wife in his arms. The people sternly de manded that he should go on foot, but this was resisted. Accounts of the 27th ult. from the Swiss frontier represent that twelve Republicans had been taken to Bale under military escort, and that the refugees, who had taken part in the insurrection of Struve, could not return to Bale. The Vorort had taken energetic measures against the German refugees. - POLAND. The walls of Cracow have been placarded with a proclamation, signed by General Bern, calling the Poles to arms. Communism has made great progress among the peasants of Gallicia, and a rising is every day expected. It was rumoured that an insurrection had broken out at Cracow on the 27th, and that on the 28th the city had been bombarded. The Emperor of Russia has arrived at Warsaw. It is stated in a letter from Ancona that King Charles Albert has just sent, as assistance, a sum of 5.50,000 livres to Venice. In a letter from Rome of the 14th ult. it is stated that the Archduke John had addressed a letter to the Pope, expressing great respect, and announcing to him that the Austrian Cabinet intends to make Lom bardy and Venetia quite independent as regards ad ministrative and judicial relations.

COLLISION IN THE MERSEY.—On Sunday another serious collision occurred at the mouth of the river. About one o'clock, as the Ayrshire Lassie steamer was towing two foreign brigs, the Ariadne and the Pomona, outward bound, down the Channel, when near the Rock she was met by the Anglo-American, an American ship, coming up the Crosby Channel ; a strong:ebb tide was running at the time. As there was a strong breeze in favour of the Anglo-American it is computed she was running at the rate of six miles an hour. When the vessels arrived opposite the Rock the steamer, appre hending danger, let go the hawsers of the two brigs she had in tow, and steered clear herself. The result was, that the brig Ariadne was struck by the Anglo-Ameri can on the starboard side, carrying away all before her, leaving the vessel a complete wreck. As the Anglo- American came stem on, she had her jib-boom carried away, and her cutwater materially damaged. The Ariadne had her foremast and bulwarks carried away, and the whole of her rigging stripped. Fortunately four steamers came to her aid, and she was towed into the Prince's Dock basin, with eight feet of water in her hold —Liverpool Mercury. THE STABBING CASE AT CHATEAM.—James Wil kins, a seaman belonging to the Fortitude, of Bridge water, charged with stabbing Edward Sin gar, a private in the 17th Regiment, was brought before the county magistrates at Rochester on Monday for further exami• cation. A medical certificate was banded to the Court, from which it appeared that the life of the wounded man is in imminent danger, and the prisoner was again re manded for one week, the chairman (Captain Baker) reminding Assistant-Surgeon Effingham of the necessity of watching the progress of the unfortunate man, in order to communicate with the magistrates should his disso lution appear inevitable, so that time might be allowed for *Ong his deposition.

Never abo theless both Vessels were fully a n d f a i r l y ' oa d e d , and about half past ten o'clock cast off, and steamed away un their downward voyage. At a little past noon they brought to off the marshes near Dartford, and the lofty river wall having been surmounted by the curious, a pretty piece of turf (the identical spot where Smith and Maclaren a few weeks since settled their differences) was chosen whereon to fix the lists. At a few minutes before one, the men's toilette being completed, that of Hazeltine by the assistance of D. M'Intyrne and Barnash, while the care of Buckey devolved on Jem Turner and Young Sambo, the principals shook hands. Hazeltine, who is 23 years of age, and weighed on this occasion 9st. 31bs., is well known among the East-enders, for his battles with Barnash (lost), with Williams (won), with Crockett (lost), with Young Walker (won), and several minor contests. Buckey is unknown in fistic records, but as an exponent of glove practice in the sparring schools, was considered clever by a numerous circle. He is a weaver by trade, of the same age as Hazel tine, and 9st. fibs. in weight, although considerably shorter in the reach and leg than his opponent. The current betting was 5 and 6 to 4 on Hazeltine, but higher odds were offered as the contest progressed. Buckey losing the toss for corners, his opponent placed himself with his back to the sun, and the battle began. The attitudes of the men were somewhat similar, indicating practitioners of the same school, and for short time sparring was the order of the day ; gradu ally the men crept nearer, when Hazeltine let go at Buckey's head, and got home over the left eye. A rapid half-arm rally followed, Hazeltine hitting up in the close, with more readiness than his opponent. Buckey was uppermost in the scramble which finished the round. In the second bout there was some very neat mutual stops, and some apparently smart counter hitting with the left; we say apparent, because, although both nien got home, no marked in dications of blows were visible. A close at the ropes ended this bout, during which Hazeltine managed to win the first event by planting a smart tap on Buckey's nasal organ. The third to the fifteenth rounds displayed Hazeltine's advantages. In the exchanges his blows told, while Buckey's were of that flip-flap order which marks the glove-fighter. In several of the closes, too, Hazeltine kept fiddling away at th e h ea d , while Buckey hit round his adversary's back. These visitations closed Buckey's left optic, and his right seemed tin trouble by sympathy. Hazeltine threw away many excellent openings for using his right, and when he did let it go it was round, and frequently out of distance. 7n the sixteenth Hazeltine, having thrown Buckey in the preceding round, administered punishment with both hands, catching his man a s w i ng i ng hi t on the side of the head, Buckey rushed in wildly, and Hazeltine was undermost without harm. In the seventeenth Hazeltine got Buckey's head into chancery, and dropped him. Eighteenth and last, Buckey came up, received heavily, was short and all abroad in the returns, and at the close of the round gave in. Time 45 minutes. W. COOK AND J. BATCHELOR, FOR 101.—These aspirants, who came a long way to make a long and strong fight for a very small sum, soon occupied the places of the former couple. Cook is a Hammersmith youth, not yet 20, of clean well developed muscle, weighing 9st. 121b. Batchelor, aged 28, is lighter by upwards of half a stone, and was supposed by those who knew the parties to countervail by experience the weight of his opponent. We shall not attempt to describe the chances and changes of this long, gal lant, and persevering contest, which lasted two hours and thirty-five minutes, in which time 106 rounds were fought, a majority of them remarkable for their unflinching courage, and the alternations of success which hovered over each of the men by turns. 'Worse battles have we seen for a hundred pounds than for these 200 shillings. At length, Batchelor having several times all the best of the hitting, the young one got second wind, rattled away as if he had begun afresh, and Batchelor, completely worn out, was com pelled to call a "go," no unwelcome sound to his an tagonist, who thereupon ran across the field with an activity which we should hardly have thought possible after such prolonged and severe exertions. The loser certainly deserves some balm, in the shape of a con tribution, for his well-earned scars. As to Cook, if he be capable of learning a few ring mantauvres, he has certainly the prime requisites of stamina, strength, youth, and undeniable ,game and endur ance.—Advertiser. = SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

CAXTON MONIIMENT.—A correspondent of the Builder says, there are several reasons for the interest falling off on the above subject; one of which is the not determining on a proper place for it, as the former situa tion is wanted for the Westminster improvements, and cannot be kept vacant for an uncertainty. This being the case, I would suggest the site of the three houses in Poet's Corner, as, from old associations, being every way applicable, as well as being ornamental to the neighbourhood, and consistent with the alterations about to be carried on near there also ; and I have no doubt this would meet with the approbation of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—Yesterday Mr. W. Baker held an inquest at the Green Man, High street, Poplar, on the body of Charles Aldous, aged 13. The deceased was the son of one of the officers belong ing to the Iphigenia, Marine Society's vessel, lying off Deptford, and on Sunday evening, the 24th ult., the de ceased's cap had fallen into the chains, and in his at tempt to regain possession of it, by running down a ladder on the outside of the vessel, he missed his hold and fell into the water, and sank immediately. He was dragged for, but his body was not found until Sunday afternoon last, when it was picked up off Greenwich Point.

The ground is at present in course of being laid out, and it is curious to observe how the line of railway pursues its ruthless course through dwelling-houses and gardens in its way to the central statior.. Some houses are iu course of being pulled down, and the roofs of others are marked with a stroke of white paint at the spot where the line is to traverse them, while dykes, pailings, and other similar obstructions are made sad havoc of. In its course, the railway will pass only a few yards behind Marshall-place, one of the finest lines of houses that we can boast of; and, as the top of the Embankment will reach to about the windows on the second flats of the houses, the prospect will be any thing but a fine one for the inmates. It is considered that property in these houses must thereby be much de preciated, and several of the inhabitants are looking for domiciles elsewhere. At the general terminus, nearly one-half of the building will soon be roofed in, but it is understood that the whole will not be completed at pre sent. The structure, when fully completed, will have a magnificent appearance, and will be very extensive • but a great drawback which will always attend it will be its great distance from town, to which access is and will continue to be attained by omnibuses, not the most pleasant kind of conveyance.—North British Mail. The Fife Herald states that the St. Monance fishermen nave, this season, captured about 18,000 trans of herrings, estimated at 9,0001., and' that throughout this highly advantageous adventure there has been no sacrifice of life or floating property. THE "NEW PATENT GAS." —We have received a communication from Ireland, together with documents which clearly prove that what Mr. Stephen White calls his " new patent hydro-carbon gas" is an old " patent water-gas," which cost Mr. John Kelly, of Dublin, architect, 3001. to bring it to perfection, and for which he holds a patent for Ireland, useless in Dublin hitherto, on account of monopoly and prejudice on the part of others, and a press of professional engagements on his own part. In 1845 this new patent gas was favourably noticed in the Dublin newspapers, and also in the me tropolitan and provincial press of this country. Indeed, that the gas was not new we were well aware, but we thought it possible for all that that Mr. White might have been the real originator of the invention. Mr. Kelly's article was described in the Dublin limes in 1845.— Builder. A NEW PHASE IN THE POTATO ROT. - Halifax (Nova Scotia) papers state that since the late heavy rains the potato vines have become green again, with prospects of a good and healthy yield. This is a new tact in the progress of the rot, which we do not re member to have been noticed in any other country. — Montreal paper.
