Early in October will be published, Volume Third of MISS AGNES STRICKL AND'S LIVES of the QUEENS of SCOTLAND, and English Pencesses connected with the Royal Succession. This volume of Miss Agnes Strickland's Royal Biographies contains the commencement of a personal Life of Mary Stuart, which it is believed will be found more authentic and complete than any which has yet appeared. The collection and arrangement of materials for it was commenced many years ago —even before the publication of the Lives of the Queens of England. It comprises an amount of curious and important information hitherto inedited, the fruits of long and arduous research in the State Paper Offices of England, Scotland, France, and other nations, and in the charter-chests of the descendants of the noble families of Great Britain ancestrally con nected with that momentous period. The result is a Biography which is likely to be the crowning work of Miss Strickland's great national undertaking. Vols.

The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" e have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 18,1852.

Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently ,saccessfal." —proleseir Lizars on the Treatment of Stricture. THE LATE CASUALTY AT LYTHAM. LYTHAM, OCT. 5. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Palmer, of Preston (the district coroner), held an inquest at that place on the bodies of John Davis, 35, Thomas Gillett, 29, and George Cookson, 41—three of the eight unfortunate men who were drowned on Friday last by the capsizing of the lifeboat. The bodies of Cookson and Gillett were recovered on Sa turday, having been washed up on the " Middle Bank," a short distance from the spot were the ac cident occurred; Davis's body was found on Sunday morning in Croston Pool. The remains of the other sufferers—viz., Willian Swann, John Gillett, John Whiteside, Thomas Hardman, and James Winder had not been recovered when this account was dis patched. The only witnesses examined by the coroner were Richard Gillett and James Parkinson, the two survivors of the boat's crew. From the evidence of Gillett, corroborated by Parkinson, it appeared that they went out with the boat a little before high water, the wind then blowing a fresh breeze. Swann had charge of the boat and was steering. They went out with oats, but in about a quarter of a n h our a lug sail was hoisted by agreement among the crew. The wind had then freshened and was blowing a good breeze. About an hour afterwards, when they were beat ing down the channel, the wind increased to a strong breeze —almost to a hurricane. They had just taken in one of three reefs, when a sudden gust caught the sail; the boat partially filled, and the water getting into the sail caused her to capsize, most, if not all of the crew being at once thrown into the water. The witness Gillett got hold of the man-rope, which goes round the boat, and clung to it for about 20 minutes. He then made his way along the man-rope, hand -over hand, and got intolhe inside of the boat,* -- which was. then bottom upwards. There he found James Parkinson and three of the deceased—viz., George Cookson, Thomas Gillett (witness' s b ro th er ), an d James rinder. Immersed almost to the shoulders, they clung with the tenacity of despair to the seats and grating of the boat, disappearing one by one as they became exhausted, until only two were left. For nearly five hours, according to the evidence, did these two men remain in this appalling position. During a portion of that time Thomas Gillett was clinging to his brother's leg, being at length com pelled to relax his bold from sheer exhaustion. In this trying hour the men conversed with each other, and mutually undertook, in the event of any sur viving, to communicate the last words of a husband and a parent to his widow and bereaved family. CORONER—I suppose Swann (the captain of the lifeboat) was an experienced sailor? Witness (Gil lett)--Yes ; but I think he was a little to blame. When the wind became so rough some of the men were anxious for the sail to be taken down, but Swann would not allow it. He said he wished to try the boat fully. The men thought at all events another reef should be taken in. A juryman —Was the boat full of water when the crew wanted to have another reef taken in ? Wit ness—No. Her lee side was about a foot under water, and had been for some time. By the CORONER—WhiIe we were out I perceived the door of one of the air boxes open, and I don't know that it was afterwards closed. If it had been closed I think the boat would have righted. Mr. Houghton (a juryman)—Were you not cau tioned before going out to take your life belts ? Wit ness—Yes ; the Rev. Mr. Self said we had better take them ; but as it did not then blow very hard, we thought we could do without them. By Captain Ashburne—Previous to the accident the boat filled by shipping a sea, and she then emptied herself immediately. She is a very fine boat. Captain Ashburne—The accident happened entirely by pressing too much canvass on her? Witness— No doubt of it. A juryman —The boat was not in fault; it was the management. Another juryman said he had heard Swann re mark that it was impossible to capsize the boat with a sail. In reply to a question from the CORONER, the witness said he considered Swaun a good seaman on shipboard, but he was not clever in the management of a boat. The witness further stated that after the upsetting of the boat Swann, who had secured himself inside, said to the survivors, " Boys, this won't do; I must go out and try to right her." He got out and was speedily washed away by the breakers. The ac cident happened in about two fathoms of water, at ebb tide. The jury, after a brief address from the CORONER, retired to consider their verdict. On their return, The Foreman said they wished to return a verdict of " Accidental death, resulting from mismanage ment." The CORONER intimated that he could not take that verdict. Though there seemed to have been a little error of judgment on the part of Swann, still had he survived, he (the Coroner) thought that he could not have been charged with manslaughter, but as he had gone to his account the jury must dismiss that point from their consideration, The jury then agreed to a verdict of " Accidentally drowned." On the same evening a meeting of gentlemen was held at the Clifton Arms Hotel for the purpose of organizing a committee to obtain subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers. Mr. J. Talbot Clifton, of Lytham-hall, presided, and there was a numerous attendance of those who sympathised with the be reaved. Nearly 2001. was contributed in a few mi nutes, the chairman heading the subscription list with 60/.-501. on his own behalf and 101. from Mrs. Clifton. Gentlemen were deputed to receive dona tions in Preston and other places. Oa Sunday even ing, after a sermon in St. John's church, Lythem, by the Rev. W. IL Self, 331. was received for the same benevolent object. In a short time, therefore, a very handsome sum will be realised. THE LATE FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT ROTHERHITHE. Yesterday Mr. W. Carter, the coroner, resumed the investigation respecting the deaths of Rosins Riches and Jane Elizabeth Brown, who perished by the extensive fire on the 19th September, at Ro therhithe. Charles Lamming said he recollected the fire at Mr. Hogg's. The premises were on fire at the back of the lower portion, apparently from the cellar. R e observed Mr. Hogg at the second floor window, wh o was about to jump mitt but witness told him to wait until he got a counterpane, which Mr. Hogg leaped into. In the fall 1.1. r. Hogg broke his right leg. Susan Hogg, who has ever since been an in-patient at Guy's Hospital, said that for five weeks prior to the fire she had been staying with her uncle, Mr. Hogg. In addition to being an optician, ironmonger, &c., her uncle was a ship-chandler ; but she did not know whether he supplied ships with oil. On the night of Saturday, the 18th, she went to bed, accom panied by the deceased, Rosins Riches, about half past eleven. Mr. Hogg bad not then retired to rest. to bed Witness heard nothing after going either of Mr. Hogg or the servant. He slept on the same floor, and the servant slept in a Witness side roam. had not been asleep more than half an hour when she suddenly awoke, had missed Rosina Riches from the bed. Presently she heard a very faint voice at the bedroom door cry "fire?' Thought it was the de ceased Riches. She made her way down stairs, and reached the dining•room, where she opened the win dow and jumped out. As she was throwing up the window she heard Mr. Hogg up stairs crying out loudly. She saw nothing more of Rosins Riches, and could form no idea as to how she left her bed. Both the deceased were on good terms with the family. She had no apprehension that the fire was inten tionally caused. The gas in the dining-room and kitchen was alight when witness went to bed. Mr. Hogg generally went to see the light in her room was out safe. Remembers Miss Riches telling the servant at supper time to go and ask Mr. Hogg to see if it was all right in the cellar, as when the tide was high the river flowed into the cellar. Miss Riches was at the time in a delicate state of health, though quite able to assist herself in case of emer gency. William Stratford Hogg, son of the proprietor, said the gas meter was under the door-step. There was generally a light left burning at the staircase; but, upon examination, he found the gas had been and turned off from the meter. t xt e r. f ri or o ema , The CORONER here said that they must now see Mr. Ho gg , an d ascer t a i n w h o did go i nto th e co ll ar , and i what light was taken there.

There was a crate over the cellar, and the only way in which he could account for the &re Was, that the deceased ser vant must have stepped on a lucifer match, and the fire fell down into the cellar, or that a spark from the candle dropped. Before going to bed he saw that the light in his niece's room was out. When the alarm was raised he went out, and on the landing he saw the two deceased. He tried to get on the roof. The females fainted, and he saw nothing more of them. In answer to a question, Mr. Hogg said that he had insured his stock for 3,0001., and had done so for the last sixteen years, but his insurance would not near cover his loss. The jury, after a short consultation, brought in their verdict—" That the deceased persons, Rosina Riches and Jane Elizabeth Brown, died from suffo cation, caused by the house accidentally catching fire." THE LATE EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS AT MOORFIELDS. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, held an inquiry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, rela tive to the deaths of John Howes, aged fourteen, and Cornelius Croley, aged fifteen, the two lads who were killed by the explosion of gunpowder last Sunday evening, while engaged in making fireworks on the premises, No. 30, Rose and Crown-court, Eldon street, Moorfields. The jury having viewed the bodies, Solomon Pigott, of 15, Little Norris-street, Hoxton, said he was a dealer in toys, and was on terms of intimacy with Mr. George olyhead, the proprietor of the firework establishment in Rose and Crown court. Last Sunday evening he was sitting in the back parlour of Holyhead's house, and was conversing with him on general matters. Mrs. Holyhead was present. Mr. HolyheaC.eft-t,he room severe times to go upstairs to superintend two boys who were making up fireworks. Witness observed to Mr. Holyhead that he did not like Sunday work, as he thought no good came of it; upon which Holyhead remarked to his wife that the boys had better leave off, as it was then half-past eight. Mrs. Holyhead went upstairs, and, immediately returning, said to her husband that Jack (meaning Howes) had but a few to make up, and he would finish them before he left. In a moment afterwards the explosion took place. Witness ran out as fast as he could, and returned in about five minutes. Oa looking through the parlour windows, he saw something in a blaze, and Mr. Holyhead by the side of it. This turned out to have been one of the youths, whose clothes had taken fire. Bath boys were shortly afterwards brought out and taken to the hospital. After the explosion witness assisted Mrs. Holyhead to remove some fireworks from the house, after which he went upstairs to see what damage had been done. The window frames and shutters had been blown out, and the partitions of the room shattered. By a juror—The room wts lighted, as witness was informed by Mr. Holyhead, by a candle stuck in a brass candlestick, with a glass globe over it. Mr. Holyhead informed him that the explosion was his total ruin. Dennis Mullens, of 13, L ondon- passage,Whitecross street, identified the body of Howes as the son of witness's brother-in-law. Mary Croley, of Adam and Eve-court, Whitecross street, mother of the deceased lad Croley, deposed that the deceased had been engaged at a glass-blower's up of last w ee k. O n th e Th ursday be to the beginning fore the explosion he went to work for Mr. Holyhead, at firework making, of which occupation he h a d no previous knowledge or experience. Her son died in the hospital in great agony. He suffered so acutely that he was unable to give any account of the occurrence. Mr. Callander, the house-surgeon, deposed that the two lads were brought into the hospital on Sunday night. They died on the following morning from severe burning. Their sufferings were too great for him to question them as to how they met with the injuries. The CORONER having sent for Holyhead, informed him that if he wished to say anything, the jury would hear him, but ho felt bound to tell him that he could not be accepted as a witness. Mr. Holyhead—.l have nothing more to say than what Mr. Pigott has told you. The CORONER explained to the jury that by an old law the bare making of fireworks in a densely-popu lated neighbourhood was an offence. In this case common sense ought to have dictated to Mr. Holy head the impropriety of following so dangerous an occupation in such a locality, especially by candle light, and employing inexperienced boys in the work. If the jury thought that the boys lost their lives in consequence of an explosion caused by making fire works during their employment by Mr. Holyhead, it would be their duty to return a verdict of man slaughter. Mr. Holyhead said one of the boys had been in the house seven years, and was as well acquainted with the business as himself, so that he could not have anticipated any danger from inexperience. The CORONER said that was nc excuse. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughttr against Mr. Holyhead; and the Coroner immediately ordered him into custody of Mr. Baker, the beadle, who was bound over to prosecute at the next sessions of the Criminal Court. The otaer witnesses were also held to bail to appear. NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS. Paymasters—William Drake (1825) has been ap pointed to the Agamemnon, 90, screw-ship, Sheer ness ; Edwin M.

This morning he was brought before Commodore Seymour and confronted with the other man, the master and mate being present, and strictly examined by Mr. Eastlake. As the circum. stance happened afloat, the whole matter is trans ferred to Saltash, there to be dealt with by the civ authorities. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—A truly awful gale blew on this coast the whole of yesterday and last night. The usual traffic between shore and shore was com pletely stopped. During the absence of Rear-Admiral Superinten dent Arthur Fanshawe, C. 8., on leave, the duties of this dockyard well be performed by Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8., of the Blenheim.

SHEERNESS, TUESDAY.—Her Majesty's paddle wheel steam-sloop Cyclops, Lieutenant Seccombe, commanding pro tern., left port for Deptford on Sun day afternoon. Owing to there being no vessel at Glasgow having a hatchway sufficiently broad to re ceive the engines and machinery constructed by Mr. Napier for the screw line-of-battle ship Duke of Wellington, 140, the Cyclops and Blazer, on arriv• ing in Scotland, are ordered to take the machinery, &v., on board and convey them forthwith to Ports mouth, whither the Duke of Wellington will be towed by two of our large-class steamers. Her Majesty's brig Daring, 12, Commander Gerard Napier, arrived here on Sunday afternoon, in tow of the African and Adder steam-vessels, and took up moorings abreast the fitting-basin. She was swung yesterday, for the purpose of having her compasses adjusted, under the direction of Mr. Noddall, master of the London, 90, who was ordered on that duty in consequence of the indisposition of Mr. Tonkin, master of the flag-ship. The Daring will forthwith proceed to the Little Nore anchorage, to take in her powder, and thence sail for Spithead, en route to the West Indies, to relieve the Sappho, 12, Commander the Hon.

During her trial cruise on Saturday round the Mouse and Nore she attained a speed through the water of 11 knots, her immersion being 23ft. 2in. Her engines and machinery worked ad mirably, and but little vibration was felt. The spars which have been constructed for her are heavier than those of any ship in the navy at present afloat. Her entire suit of sails contains 37,200 yards of canvas . A strong gale of wind, accompanied by heavy rain, set in here yesterday at 2, P.m. The Waterloo flag ship, Monarch guardship, London advanced ship, Horatio and Amphion screw steam-frigates, Daring and Bittern brigs, sent down their topgallantmasts, and pointed their yards to the winds. At 4 30, r.m., the wind having increased, a signal was made at the dockyard for no boats to be permitted to leave the ships, and all communication between them and the shore was suspended during the remainder of the day and night. In accordance with her Majesty's Order in Council of the 10th of June, 1862, 169 Paymasters of the Royal Navy have been placed on the retired list.

This year the crop will be a good average, and the grower will, I hope, reap a fair return for his care and outlay.

(From the Surrey Gazette.) LEWES, TUESDAY, FIVE O'CLOCK P.M.—Lewes this day has been visited by the heayst flood it has ex perienced —so say competent authorities—since the memorable winter of 1814, when the breaking up of the frost produced an universal deluge throughout the country. During the past few lays a considerable quantity of wet had fallen, but yesterday, from morn ing till night, and throughout the night, the rain poured down in incessant torrents accompanied by a perfect hurricane of wind. To saythat it came down in bucketfulls is no exaggeration. According to the rain gauge of a scientific gentleman h this place no less than two inche s o f water f e ll during the twenty-four hours. At an early hour this morning the effects of so heavy a fall became evident in the raiid descent of the water from the hills, and its rising throughout the meadows that surround the town. By ten o'clock a vast body of water had accumulated in the meadows near Offlaam and Hamsey, and for a considerable space had risen to a level with the embankment of the Lewes and Keymer Railway, part of which, in fact, was under water. All traffic over the line was, very judiciously, suspended, and the trains to and from Hastings and London were sent round via Brighton. In Lewes an unwonted scene presented itself. At the lower portions of the town, in Mailing street and the Cliff, the water burst into he cellars and warehouses, and one small street, consisting of from twenty to thirty houses, leading to Mews Hill man's brewery, was a complete river, all the lower rooms of the houses on each side being inundated to a considerable depth. The street itself was only passable by means of planks laid across barrtls placed on one end. A little further on the main street was under water for a few yards. At the back of this part of the town the meadows were completely under water, and presented the appearance of a sea. Boats were rowing and sailing about ; here part of a haystack was floating off, there faggots and planks were carried away by the stream. At the bridge the current was running down with immense force, bursting its way into cellars and warehouses, and carrying off timber &c., lying on the wharfs. At half-past four P.M. the tide began to ebb, and it was hoped that the flood had reached its highest, and would rapidly recede as the tide ran out. Beyond the damage caused by the in undation in the houses, &c., we have not heard of any serious injury being sustained. Owing to the event occurring in the daylight, people were fore warned, and, in the town as well as in the surround ing country, precautions were taken to remove pro perty and secure it from damage. Reports from the neighbouring villages speak of heavy floods in every direction. Such a day of incessant torrents of rain as fell yesterday we scarcely ever remember. SEVEN O'CLOCK p.m.--Since five o'clock this after noon the waters have gradually fallen, and the worst has evidently passed. Throughout the day crowds of people have been attracted to the bridge and other spots in its neighbourhood, watching the effects o f th e flood, while many persons have climbed the Cliff hills, in order to command a bird's-eye view of the surrounding inundation, [ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's ;Ointment and Pills efficacious Remedies for the Cure of Bad Legs and gene ral Debility of the system.—Mrs. Gibbon, 31, Bailey-street, Newcastle.on-Tyne, had been a sufferer for a considerable period from dreadful ulcers in her legs, so bad that she was almost incapable of walking, consequently her health had be come very much impaired.

LONDONDERRY AND COLERAINE. The half-yearly meeting of Os company Naas held yesterday, at the offices, in Coleman-street-buildin gs , Captain Warren, R.N., took the chair. The SECRETARY read the following report : " Your directors have the gratification to report that the portion of your railway from Londonderry to New town Limavady, 18f miles in length, was opened for goods traffic on the Ist inst. Mr. Render. the consultoog engineer of the comp a ny, h as recent ly m ade a personal inspection of the line. and was quite satisfied that the passenger traffic might et once be commenced. Bat be considers it important that tho stone pitching on the portions of the railway exposed to the sea should be com pleted while the weather continues fine; and as the pas senger traffic would seriously interfere with the opera tions of the contractor, ho advised that it was more pru dent for two or three weeks to carry goods only, by which means the work would be consolidated, and the com pany will reap the advantage of the goods trade with out impeding the progress of the contractor in com pleting the pitching. Your directors, fully concurring in the prudence of the course thus suggested by Mr. Rendel, have followed his recommendation, and, fur the present, limited the tratlie operations to the carriage of goods. In the last report it was stated to you that the proceeding with the railway from Newton Limavady to Coleraine had been made dependent upon obtaining an advance from the Public Loan Commissioners. Yotir directors have the satisfaction to inform you that the Government loan applied for has been granted; the works upon that portion of the line have for some time been in course of vigorous prosecution by the contractor, Mr. M'Cormick, and are now so forward that by your next half-yearly meeting it is hoped the day may be fixed for the through opening from Londoncierry to Coleraine. Your directors, knowing the imporaance of securing full and early through communication be tween Londonderry, Coleraine, and Belfast, are now negotiating arrangements by which they hope this object may be completed, and the traffic thoroughly developed. The Bill, promoted by the corporation of Londonderry, for the construction of a joint public road and railway bridge over the River Foyle has passed into law; and your directors have to report that the Bill authorising this company to contribute to the erection of this bridge has also received the Royal as sent. By this means a junction advantageous to both will be effected between your railway and the London derry and Enniskillen; and arrangements have been made with the other parties interested, by which your directors hope that this most desirable object will be at tained without in the end making any addition to the capital of the company. The chairman and two other directors, Mr. Clay and Mr. Cross, have recently visited the works, and examined for themselves the traffic re sources of the country. They feel assured that, with a through communication completed with Belfast on the one side, and with the Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway on the other, there will be from commercial and agricultural resources, a large and remunerative traffic; while the natural beauty of the country, the facilities offered on the coast for sea-bathing, and the vicinity of such an acknowledged attraction as the Giant's Causeway, only seven miles from Cole raine, must ensure a very great amount of pleasure traffic. The experience acquired by your directors in conducting the traffic on the Londonderry and Ennis killen Railway has enabled them to prepare for the working of your line with the utmost economy as regards plant; and they believe that your rolling stock will be found to combine smallness of cost to the company with complete satisfaction to the public. The time having now arrived for settling the questions mentioned in the last report, as referred for the arbitration of Mr. Rendel, ' your directors are taking the necessary steps for pro curing his award thereon. Three of your directors, viz., James Clay, Esq., M.P., John Cross, Esq., and John Munn, Esq., and one of your auditors, S. J. Waley, Esq., go out of office by rotation. Those gentlemen are all eligible, and offer themselves for re-election. For the financial position of the company your directors beg re ference to the accounts which have already been circu lated amongst you; and they have merely to add as re gards the liabilities, that (independent of the current accounts for the supply of rails, sleepers, and contrac tor's work in progress) the only liability now existing is that for the balance (s,sooZ):previously stated to:you as due on the purchase of ' Robertson's interest in re clamation.' " The Casznr.teri said before moving the adoption of the report he would make a few observations. There was an old proverb, that it was a long lane that had no turning. Circumstances still fresh in the memory of the proprietors, namely, the panics of 1446 and 1847, bad contributed to depress this company and many others, and had caused the directors to wait and rely on better times. This delay was for the time looked upon with some dissatisfaction, but it had turned out in the end to be advantageous. It had given them the means of looking into railway works, the expense of the plant, and the result has been the successful opening of nineteen miles of their line from Londonderry to New town Limavady. When the railway should be com pleted to Coleraine, which he hoped would not be later than the Ist of May, a large traffic might be expected. ' Since they last met three of the directors, Mr. Clay, Mr. Cross, and himself, bad visited 'he works, and were happy to say that the contractor had done his work in a most substantial manner.— (Hear, hear.) It was as well built as any line in the kingdom. In addition to the ordinary traffic they might expect a very great revenue from the various sources of amusement, such as the extensive salmon leaps of the river Bann, the Giant's Causeway, and other sources of attraction. The diroctors looked for ward with the greatest interest to the completion of the new bridge over the river Foyle for the junction of this line with the Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway. The report was adopted. Mr. Lavin, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Frith, Dr. Conquest, and Mr. Waley spoke of the untiring exertions of the directors during the bad times of the company.

The great fair of Ballinasice commenced yesterday, being what is called the " show day." The supply of sheep fell short of the number exhibited la , t yeer ; and, as a consequence, there was an advance in prices, particularly for bro o d stock, at from is, to 3s. over the rates obtained in October list. For ewes the im provement was still greater, v ary i ng f rom 4s. to ss. a head, and in several instances even higher rates were obtained. Upon the whole, and notwith s t an di ng t h e unfavourable state of the weether, the fair appears, so far, not to have disappointed the expectations of the stockmasters. The Freeman s Journal supplies the subjoined - succinct account of the days . proceedi ngs :- " Ballmaslee, Oct. 4 . " The fair commenced to-day with the show of sheep, but, though it is termed the show day,' it is yet that o n which by far the weightier and more important portion of business in this department is transacted. Th supply of stock on the ground this morning was generally cal culated as being under that on the same day last year, when the numbers amounted to 50,449. From my own observation lam of the same opinion. Among others, the principal cause of the falling off is attributed to the fact of numerous and extensive purchases of sheep haling been recently made both in Clare, Mayo, and Roscommon, on the farms of the proprietors, instead of waiting, as hitherto, for their being sent to this mart. The general condition and quality of the stock on this occasion appeared on an average to be very fair. The foot distemper was by no means as prevalent as was observable at Banagher last month ; in fact it was only perceptible in an odd animal here. The attend ance of Leinster buyers was very considerable, and this, with the apparent scarcity of sheep at most of the previous fairs of the season, particularly at that of Banagher, on the 14th ult., led to the an ticipation that short work would be made on this occasion. Such, however, did not prove to be the case; it turned out, in fact, a very slow and a very late fair. At 7 o'clock in the morning, the weather being regu larly broken, the rain continued without intermission to pour in torrents down to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. This served, to a material extent, to delay the driving in of stock, and it was long past 10 o'clock before the last of the lot had been got into the park. There was also an evident backwardness on tho part of purchasers and sellers, particularly the former, to enter regularly on business. Thus th e h our a p proac h e d , 12 o'clock, when transactions regularly commenced. It then soon became evident that prices were decidedly in favour of the wes tern stockmasters and breeders, though not perhaps quite to the extent that they had calculated upon in regard to wethers, but in brood stock the rise to them must have been exceedingly satisfactory. Ewes wore the first to exchange owners, and did so at quite a brisk rate, and at an improve men t over l ast year ' s prices varying from 4s. to ss. a-head, and in several instances even exceeding that rise. After what might be called a very tolerable clearance had been made of the brood class, wethers be gan to be inquired for, and a slow but steady business at an advance of from ls. or 2s. to 3s. a-piece over the prices of last October fair was maintained down to a late hour. The improvement in quotations just referred to, it is right to observe, was more slightly participated in by top lots,' or the very primely finished animals, than by those of medium, and even inferior sorts. Transactions in wethers did not terminate till close on five o'clock, an almost unprecedentedly late hour at this fair, particularly on occasions of a rising market, or when an apprehension might exist as to a shortness of supply. At the above period, however, a good many flocks more than was generally expected, considering the circumstances, remained unsold, and in reserve for to-morrow's fair. A few lots, very few, indeed, of ewes, were driven out undisposed of, not that the demand for that description appeared by any means to have been satisfied, but rather that the figure asked struck pur chasers as being too exorbitant to matter under what pressure for the commodity they might happen to be placed. Some lots of lambs, cleanly fed and fairly con ditioned, were in the fair, and commanded, with ready sale, from 265. to 282. It is rather remarkable that in no instance, at least that came under the writer's notice, was what is designated a fancy lot' of ewes to be met with throughout the day. The subjoined is a list of quotations taken from the different classes, tops, medium, and inferior, in order to show the general rates ruling the fair.

The return of the first day's sale last year was 34,424. The quantity of purchased s t oc k driven direct from the fair to the railway terminus here, and thence, with the utmost facility, conveyed by the cattle trains to various stations along the lines in the provin • ces of Leinster, was very considerable, and the stowing away effected without the slightest confusion. The number, visitors as well as parties on business, b ro ught down on this and the previous day by rail has b ee n such as to crowd the town to overflowing, and to render lodgings, &C. anything but ch ea p accommoda tion.

SMUGGLING IN TIIE HIGHLANDS.—On Monday, the 20th of September, Mr. Otty, accompanied by Mr. Macfarlane and two preventive men, discovered in the hills of Dalriach, of Glen-Urquhart, a smuggling bothy, situ a t e d in the bottom of a deep ravine, surrounded with rugged rocks and waterfalls. There were four men in the hut at the time, which was very well concealed. Two of the smug glers were captured, but one of them, a strong athletic mountaineer, after a severe struggle of about an hour's duration, baffled the efforts of the officers to take him along with them, as he would neither walk nor stand; the other was taken before General Cameron, of Polmailie, who con victed him in the statutory penalty of 304, or three months' imprisonment.

The tunnel connecting the Whitehaven Junction and the Whitehaven and Furness lines of railway, Whitehaven, has received the formal sanction of the Board of Trade for the conveyance of passenger traffic. Last week it was inspected by Captain Wynn, the Government official sent down for that purpose. That gentleman first proceeded through it on foot, accom panied by Mr.Dees, the engineer, and expressed him self in terms of high approval of the design and the workmanship ; and afterwards proceeded through it in a train at the rate of about twenty miles an hour. Mr. Dees has since received the formal sanction of the Board of Trade to open the tunnel for passenger traffic forthwith, which will be done in a very short time, when some further trifling arrangements re specting the communication between the two lines shall have been perfected. In the meantime the goods traffic is being regularly conveyed through the tun nel, and the entrance of a train at either end is at once signalled to the other, and no person is per mitted to enter it until the train has passed through. Lodges have been erected at each end for the accom modation of the men to whom the duty of switching and signalling is entrusted, and no precaution has been omitted to secure safety to human life as far as human skill can do so. This important undertaking having been brought to a successful issue, the directors will at once turn their energies to the completion of the arrangements for taking iron ore upon the line a t Wood End. The necessary works for this important undertaking are nearly completed, and it is confidently anticipated that the directors of the line will be en abled to effect such arrangements with the ore pro prietors as will lead to the conveyance thence by rail of the ore intended for Newcastle, which has hitherto been carted along the road and thr oug h th e t own to the station of the Whitehaven Junction line, to the great inconvenience of the public at large.—Carlisle Patriot. ACCIDENT' ON THE GREAT NORTHERN On M R an A ILWAY.
