A meeting took place, for I heard and I saw, And what do you fancy this meeting was for? Why the meeting, from all I could gather, was one Te decide on the merits of MOSES and SON. The excellent Chairman, Sound Judgment, Esquire, Raving said a few words with regard to attire, Mr. Shoulders, a man of respectable note, Wished to make a remark on his WAISTCOAT AND COAT. " I think," said the speaker, " you all ought to view My Waistcoat, my Coat, and my Overcoat, too. I ought to speak warmly of MOSES," said he, When I see tke warm garments they've furnished to me." With this Mr. Legs, arose on his pegs, And declared he considered himself tke mere dregs. " My sabject," said he, " you're aware, is my TROWSERS, Bwt, alasl as 'o speaking, I cannot tell how, Sirs ; For the speaker's so bad, and the Trowsers' so good, That I cannot praise MOSES and SON as I would." Hr. Head next arose from the place where he sat, And delivered an eloquent speech on his HAT. "I am sure. Mr Chairman," said he, " that I'm right, In pronouncing it stylish, elastic, and light. To the Hat -mart of MOSES and SON I'll adhere As staunchly as ever 1" (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") This speaker was foil wed by one Mr. Foot, Who Mee with a dignified stamp on his BOOT. " I am certain," said he, that I'm true in declaring The Boots made by MOSES unequalled for wearing; They are matchless in quarters, in sole, and in vamp." Aid here Mr. Foot gave another loud stamp. Then the Chairman arose, and was happy to find The whole of the speakers so much of a mind. "And," said he, "on behalf of the ladies, good Sirs, I feel it my duty to speak of the FURS. If I did net pronounce them the best you could wear, I consider I should not be fit for the chair ; And remember the very low prices you pay, For these, and for all that you've mentioned to-day. I trust that the whole or the jourusis, as one, Will rep, , rt what we've said of E. MOSES and SON." " Hear, hear," said the whole of the gentlemen there, And the business was enned with thanks to the chair. E. MOSES and SON lavite especial attention to their Shooting coats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort in th• It. E.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news_ paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this eppor tensity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoee, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair en her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair Is much stronger and more luxuriant than T ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to - the virtues of Mr. (l.'s flegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an lla. bottle if tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasare in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the grown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In moat cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair oil children's heads in a few appplicatlons. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--see naraphlet of testimonials.

By SAMUEL LAI/EMT, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Mall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and mach neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of these diseases. REVIEW OF TRH WORE. La'Mert en the Infirmities of Touth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the hook before ns such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A. father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

Man and his Maker alike condemn that which " yields no fruit," and we find largo tracts of land abandoned for the same reason tint caused the barren fig -tree to be cursed. This curs. clings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth famine. But tke malediction breathes loudest and deepest into tie ear of these of the human race who remain childless in a community whick must altogether fail, without continual additiens. Not only do such encounter the silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures, but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation to tho wifeless bosons —brings no return for the childless hems. It is a remarkable fact that the unproductiieness of soil and species arises from similar it y of cause. So me lands are the produce of vitiated strata that yields an offspring 45 unhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of minerals, which form the foe t o ve g etation. Oth e r s again lose value by being too early worked , bef ore the y are fit for cultivation, Some soils, originally fertile, becom e barren b y exc ess of tillage; others are spoiled by unwholesome ma nures ; an d others, again, by time want of perseverance and nerve In the husbandman. Mark the ana logy ! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom he springs. Man is too often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine rals, such as mercury, &c. Man also tries his constitution too early, and overtasks it too late. Man, by unwholesome contact can also in fect his frame ; and, to render the comparison complete, man can render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance of his organization and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy cease here. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have been recently so entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul ture, that farmers aro now enabled to produce el - ens almost front stone itself; and, in like manner, Sterility in the human race is now rensova.blo through the profound discoveries in physic which enlighten the present age. In testimony of this, a volume has recently been produced which fills the heart with hope and is calculated to remove Sterility altogether. It is from the pen of Messrs. J. L. CURTIS AND CO., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square London, and bears the title of " MANHOOD: Th e C aises of its Premature Decline, witk Plain Directions for its Perfect Re stosation ;" and is sent by W.

It A E. p er/ , ® ~ One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret on eornprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern yea, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, ls. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered sy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining t'sem. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but ter the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other Kittle publications claim your attention (same price ls. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They aro not merely damphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribbling, of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always an the •. sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Cervalho, 147, Fleet street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Nelson, 4b7, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally, mornings and evenings), 10, Argyll-place Regent-street ; awl all L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human breast. More exalted than mere passion, it sears high a b ove every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, er can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity Itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be bey's(' measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a lif e o f unalloyed happiness.

On Friday Henry Marshall, Thomas Earl, Thomas Walter, Thomas Anderson, Spencer Bowen, and William Pope, the river pilots belonging to Graves end, were brought before the Rev. G. Davies and a full bench of magistrates, at the County-office, Ro chester, for final examination, under a charge of bur glary, at the cottage of William Eastman, at Stoke, early on the morning of Wednesday, the 1 lth instant, where, it will be remembered, they were beaten off by the courageous conduct of Mrs. Eastman, who, with her daughter, a young g i r l, were the only in mates in the house at the time. Mr. Prall, solicitor at Rochester, attended to watch the case for Walter ; and Mr. Bowditch, of Gravesend, on behalf of the remaining five; the seventh offender, the ringleader, who was wounded with an iron bar by Eastman's wife, being still at large. He had, however, it ap peared, been traced with his boat down to Hole Haven, some distance below Gravesend, on the Essex shore, and being known to the officer, is not likely to remain much longer at liberty. In addition to the evidence already adduced, implicating the accused, several other witnesses were examined, whose testi mony went still further to connect the prisoners with the offence with which they stand charged. Mr. William Palmer, landlord of the Ship public house at Stoke, stated that he was called up at about a quarter to two o'clock on Wednesday morning, and on going to his lodge, in which was a quantity of hay and straw, he found a party of watermen, together with several of the villagers, smoking and regaling themselves, having lighted candles with them, and thus jeopardising his property. Having ejected the intruders, he returned to his house, and as he was securing the fastenings, he heard a cry of" Murder" proceeding from Eastman's cottage, accompanied by smashing of glass, and it was in that direction the watermen went on quitting the lodge. James Usher, an agricultural labourer, in company with the pri soners on the previous evening, having been apprised of the burglary, procured assistance, and went in pursuit of the parties, and by the light of the moon could distinguish that they were making towards Yantlett Creek. Witness, with his compa nions, by crossing the fields, managed to reach the creek before them, and gave information to the pre ventive men on board the watch vessel, who, however, said they could not apprehend the prisoners, unless for smuggling or murder. On the arrival of the pri soners at the creek, one of them appeared much hurt, and stood with his head resting on a rail, his com panions saying he was the one who had done the mischief. Some of them then went on board the watch vessel, and afterwards took to their boats, three in number, and went away, and were apprehended at Gravesend on the following Saturday. The exami nation of the witnesses having been completed, the magistrates committed the prisoners on the charge of burglary. The prisoners were then liberated on bail, themselves each in a bond of 1001., and two sureties of 501. each, to appear at the next assizes, the suretieM being readily found amongst pilots and watermen of Gravesend, by whom the court was crowded, the investigation having excited no ordinary degree of interest. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY. —There are a variety of rumours and speculations afloat touching the trial of 11 : 1r. Daffy. In the calendar he is charged only with felony, but according to report he is to be indicted for high treason. Ins LATE MURDEROUS ATTACK IN CLONMEL The Clonmel correspondent of gives the following particulars of the late murderous attack on a man named Doran, in the streets of Clonmel : " In the month of July a woman named Margaret Walsh eloped from Clonmel with a man named Patrick Doran, a boat-bawler, frona Carrick-on-Suir, taking with her the proceeds of the sale of five pigs, and several articles, the property of her brother, who followed th e f ug i t i ves to Dublin, and succeeded in having them arrested there previous to their embar kation for Liverpool. Doran, when arrested, had on him a pair of Walsh's stockings. The police magis trates forwarded the parties for trial to Clonmel, and on Wednesday they were arraigned before Mr. Ser geant Howley. The prosecutor did not press his charge, not wishing to punish his sister, consequently they were both acquitted. On the same night, about the hour of nine o'clock, Walsh, who was on the watch for Doran, met him in Bagwell-street, near Dublin street, and plunged a knife into him, in the region of the heart, inflicting a dangerous wound, from which the blood flowed profusely. The unfortunate man fell almost lifeless, end Dr. Prosser, who was in iin mediate attendance, rendered every aid in stopping the effusion of blood. The Mayor and Mr. Ryan, R.M., were promptly on the spot, and having issued their warrant, the assassin was forthwith arrested, and now lies in Clonmel gaol. Doran was conveyed to the surgical hospital, where he continues in a dan gerous state. ATTACK ON A POLICE CONSTABLI.—About two or three o'clock yesterday morning a most wanton out rage was committed on one of the F division of police, which it is to be feared will be attended with fatal consequences. The constable was on duty at the Kill of Grange, when his attention was attracted by three men in a field who were removing some potatoes from it, and on going to inquire of them what was their business, he was assailed, knocked down, and his sword seized. With this weapon he was wounded in the head and other places, and after becoming insen sible ,through loss of blood, the ruffians trampled on their victim, who was found some hours afterwards lying scarcely breathing in a heap of clay, and covered up with the soil, as if the intention were to smother him. The constable, who seemed quite un conscious at first, was attended by Dr. Ireland, and removed to the hospital; but the injuries inflicted are of so dangerous a character that his life is in immi nent danger. Circumstances have arisen which lead to the hope that the guilty parties will be arrested, and it is understood that fur the future, in all very lonely districts, the police are not to go singly on Night duty. RELEASE Or STATE PRISONERS.—By an order in Council, the following parties, confined under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, have been admitted to bail :—W. Mathens, Charles TafFee, P. Marron, James Crolly, W. Walsh, James Baker, Coll Roch ford, Owen O'Neill, Francis Gabbett, Justin Supple, James M. O'Ryan. INCREASE OF THE IRISH CONSTABULARY.—The statement which appeared some time ago, in refer ence to the contemplated increase of the Irish con stabulary, is confirmed by the following, from the Belfast Journal:—" We have the best authority for stating that the Government have it in contem plation to augment, at an early date, the constabu lary force in Ireland to 30,000 of all ranks. This for midable body are to be employed, in addition to pre sent constabulary duties, in all descriptions of service for which the regular military are now required ; and the whole, or the greater part of the latter force will be withdrawn, unless upon extraordinary occa sions, from this country. The increased force will be placed upon a new footing, and comprise cavalry, infantry (including rifle corps), and horse and foot artillery. This proves the high value at which the Government rate this force and the entire dependence which they repose on their loyalty. MORE EVICTIONS —On Saturday a large body of police left Limerick for Corbally, where they were met by the sheriff and a body of house-levellers. Notices to evict have been served on a number of Lord Clare's tenantry, in the electoral division of Shangolden. The Limerick _Examiner, in its last number, gives the following exemplification of an eviction and its results :—ln March last we recorded the case of a man named Michael Gallagher, living in Meelick, within a short distance of this city. He and his wife had come into town to offer 201. in pay ment of rent; but the tender was refused. In their absence their house, a substantial one, was levelled to the ground. The cries of the young children, as a matter of course, were unheeded by the house levellers, who pli e d their work with the rapidity and expertness derived from habituation in the task. The house was demolished when the father and mother returned front town. But Gallagher, recollecting that his wife (who brought him 2001. as a marriage por tion), and his seven young children, had strong claims upon him, resolved to make an effort to save them from destruction, and retain the land as long as he was able. He accordingly erected a shed in that part of the ruin where his bedroom once stood. Few are ignorant of the dimensions of such poor refuges. In the narrow shed were huddled his children and his effects, and he continued there until April, when from cold he got dysentry. During the illness, his wife, an active, industrious, and vigorous woman, plied her task incessantly, paying her hus band every attention, and working for bread. So in defatigable was the oppressed and persecuted woman in her industrious pursuits, struggling for support while nursing her p oor h usb and,that her neighbours concluded she could weather the storm. But there is an old saying in this country, —one misfortune seldom comes alone. About the middle of April, on a fine clear day, the shed w as seen on fire, ancl:the people were attracted to th e spot by the screaming of chil dren, and the flames of the sick man's furniture. Gallagher was rescu e d, p l aced by the side of a ditch, and and was there anointed for death by a clergyman. This, however, was not all. Gallagher's own suf ferings were not the worst of the calamity. The 201. which was tendered for rent and refused was reduced to ashes. Three large feather-beds and a large quail• tity of substantial furniture, such as is commonly used in farm-houses, were consumed, together with about 100 stone of potatoes and 20 stone of oats. All were destroyed in the burning of the' shed. The flames originated in the narrow chimney, in which, while the mother was at market, the children placed fire, which caused the soot to ignite. The situation of this man, thus placed by the road side, may be easily imagined. Yet so i n d om it a ble is the per severing industry of some of our countrywomen, that we have heard this thrifty, hard-working woman, poor Gallagber's extraordinary wife, de clare she would forgive all that passed, and never think of her troubles, if even now her landl or d, th e Marquis of Conyng h a m, and his most zealous agent, Mr. Marcus Kean, would give them fair play, and cease their oppressive and s c a r m ue p l lo pr o o f ce t e h d e in p g ri s ; ati ‘ o V n e s give these facts as a mere and hardships to which, oftentimes unkn own to the i r landlords, tenants in this country are undeservedly subjected.

THE LATE MURDERS AT BANSHA.....It appears that the murderers of the bailiff placed in care of the property seized at Bansha, Tipperary, for poor ra t es, have been discovered—a conclusive p roof of the efficacy of the taxing clauses of the Crime and Out rage Act of last session. In this case Lord Claren don acted with his usual promptitude and vigour. The murders were perpetrated on a Sunday morning, and on the following Wednesday the additi ona l po• lice force were stationed in the townlanils which were the scenes of those fearful crimes, and simulta• neously with the arrival of the police came the warrant of the Lord Lieutenant for the immediate levy of a rate upon the occupiers for the support of says the Cork C ons ti tut i on, the police. "This rate," " amounted to 18s. 4d. an acre on one, and Bs. 7d. on the other, in addition to the poor -rate then in collection, of Bs. 9d. in the pound, a county cess o f Bs. 6d. per acre, and the moiety of the Labour Act rate. This caused much discontent amongst the farmers, which was further increased by the knowledge of the fact, that if the murderers were not brought to justice within the three months, a further levy would be made for the expense of the additional force for three months more, and so on. The lower classes are also made to suffer, for the board of guardians stopped all out-door relief until such :time as the conspirators and perpetrators were made amenable. The consequence of these proceed ings has been, that such information has been com municated to the authorities as has led to the arrest of the criminals. The perpetrators were strangers to that part of Tipperary, and having been hired for the work, were brought twenty miles to perform it." LIB SOCIETY OF FRIENDS.—The Society of Friends, to whom a large debt of gratitude is due for the promptitude with which they brought large con tributions to alleviate the wants of their fellow-crea tures during the late famine, by constant supplies, not only of food but clothing, have taken a farm of 400 acres, to be cultivated under the improved system of cropping, and have engaged Edward Bewley, Esq., M.D., of Moate, late Secretary to the Moate Agricultural Society, at a salary of 3001. a year, to preside over this intended agricultural college. ACCIDENT ON THE EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN RAILWAY. A serious accident happened yesterday morning on this line of railway. While the train which left Edinburgh at seven o'clock this morning was pro ceeding at the usual speed the tire of the leading wheel of the engine, which keeps it on the rail, gave way, at a place about a mile on this side of the Bridge of Earn, the consequence of which was that the engine darted off the line, and was hurled over the embank ment, several feet in height. It fortunately happened, for the preservation of the lives of the passengers, that the coupling chain, which connects the tender with the locomotive, snapped asunder ; the result of which was that the tender and carriages were left standing on the rails, although the shock which was occasioned by the recoil that took place was such that one side of a luggage van was completely stove in, and one of the carriages was much crushed. From the force of the shock the passengers were thrown with violence against the sides of the car riages, and two women in them received severe contusions. It would appear that, when the severance of the engine from the tender took place, the pipes of the former, which generated the steam, were torn asunder, and that other injuries were done to the boiler. The result of this was, that the boiling water made its escape, and fell in rather copious showers upon three of the passengers, who are said to have taken up their position on a luggage van, which was uncovered, scalding their legs and other parts of their bodies. At the time the accident happened there were four persons on the engine—Mr. M'Glashen, the manager of the goods department ; Mr. Thomson, goods manager at Perth ; and the engineer and stoker. The three latter, on finding the engine descending the slope of the embankment, immediately jumped off, and escaped with slight bruises. Mr. M'Glashan was not able to effect his descent in the same manner, and the consequence was, that he was thrown from the place where he was standing with great force, and alighting upon his head, he sustained several severe injuries, particularly upon the temple. He was so much stunned by the force of the fall, that he lay insensible for some time. No time was lost in conveying the sufferers to the nearest dwelling-houses, at the Bridge of Earn and the village of Abernethy ; and medical assistance was immediately procured. In addition to the services of Drs. Chalmers and Laing of the former place, assistance was rendered by Dr. Macfarlane, of Perth, for whom an express had been dispatched. It is highly creditable to the directors to state, that two of their body, Sir William Dunbar and Mr. Hunter, of Perth, were promptly on the spot; and that as soon as intelligence of the accident reached Edinburgh, Dr. Duncan and one of the directors left town, with the view of rendering any assistance they might be able afford. We are happy to state that the latest accounts which reached town last night convey the gratifying injuries were that Mr. M'Glashan, whose were the most serious, was considerably better, and that the other sufferers were also progressing fa vourably. At the place where the accident occurred the rails were a good deal torn up ; but no time was lost in replacing them, and we understand that the trains were proceeding with their accustomed regularity last night. The train to which the accident hap• pened was a large one, many persons going to Perth hiring-fair, which was in course of being held.— Edinburgh Witness of Saturday. COLLISION AT SEA. PLTMOWTH, OCT. 22.—Some anxiety was mani fested yesterday in consequence of the non-arrival of the Sir Francis Drake steam-packet, Captain Win. Sadler, a regular trader, which usually leaves Guernsey on Friday evenings, and reaches here early on Saturdays. However, this (Sunday) morning, at one o'clock, she arrived safe at her moorings in Stonehouse Pool, having been detained at Guernsey all Friday night by strong northerly winds, and off the Start last night by coming in contact with a brig. The Drake left the islands at nine o'clock yesterday morning, and had heavy westerly winds all day. In the evening, at eight o'clock, when very dark, Start point bearing N.E., distant six or seven miles, the ship's head N.W. by N., carrying foresail with sheet hauled flat aft, saw on the starboard bow a small glimmering light, which suddenly disappeared; ten minutes after, within two ship's lengths, by the re flection of her galley fire upon her sails, a strange brig was suddenly discovered running before the wind. Seeing that a collision was inevitable, the Drake's helm was immediately put hard aport, and her engines stopped as quickly as possible. The brig's helm was put hard astarboard, by which she came alongside the Drake ; her fore channels struck the steamer's wales with a sliding blow, and, in a heavy rolling sea, both vessels became entangled. The Drake, in backing astern to clear, hooked her bobstay in the brig's anchor, and dragged away her own bowsprit, her figure head, and cutwater, and knocked off some of her larboard paddle. floats against the brig's starboard main channels ; at the same time her spurbeam carried away the brig's fore and midship bulwarks and staunchions. When clear they found on board the steamer three of the brig's hands belonging to the watch below, who had jumped out of their berths and left their vessel, expecting she would go down. This fear for some time prevailed in the minds of her master and the rest of her crew, and finally induced Captain Sadler, who continued near, to permit his chief officer, Mr. Libbey, and one of his best hands, volunteers, to go on board in the Drake's boat, and pilot the brig into Dartmouth, whence she was distant two hours' sail. The brig is the Sophia, of R oc h es t er , 110 t ons re gister, from Swansea, heavily laden with 300 tons of coal for Rochester. On Wednesday night, the 18th inst., she experienced stormy weather in the Channel, and lost all her boats. On Thursday she took shelter in Plymouth. Without purchasing new boats she left again on Saturday morning. At the time of the collision she was steerng E.S.E. under main royal, with the weather clew of her mainsail hauled up, and did not exhibit any lights. Her crew, how ever, half an hour before, clearly distinguished the two paddle-box and mast-head lights of the steamer. The Drake had 50 cabin and steerage: passengers, many of whom were on deck at the time of the colli sion ; although at first more or less alarmed, they sub sequently expressed their entire satisfaction with the course pursued by Captain Sadler. SHZERNESS.—Great apprehensions are entertained that the town of Sheerness, surrounded as it is by pestife rous ditches, presents but too favourable an aspect for the introduction of cholera amongst its crowded streets. The garrison and arsenal, it is true, exhibit the most perfect models of neatness, order, and cleanliness, but they are surrounded by a town which, for filth, want of drainage, and a complete absence of sewers, has no equj,l-i* . her Majesty's dominions. The narrowest streets ands eys are crowded with houses of the lowest description, mixed with piggeries, cow- sheds, stables, slaughter-houses, heaps of &cad manure, and every abomination that can pollute the atmosphere and promote disease. The offal of a population of eight thousand lies upon the surface of the streets and alleys in its most disgusting form. Ihe only semblance to a drain is a ditch which surrounds the town, full of black and stagnant matter, and forms the last receptacle for all the carrion that is too bulky and offensive to wither in the streets. The malaria arising from these combinations is so deleterious, that the men employed in the dockyard suffer severely from it by constant and prolonged illness. It is to be hoped that the Government, or the Board of Health, will not wait till the cholera has commenced its ravages in this well-prepared hotbed of disease. If the inhabi tants will not take the proper means for securing the aid of the General Board of Health, surely the garrison and arsenal should not be exposed to such danger.

SEVENOAKS, SUNDAY.—Yesterday Mr. C. C. Carttar, the Coroner for West Kent, impanelled a jury at Halstead, a small village, midway of this town and Farnborough, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances connected with a murder, disco vered at that place on the morning of Wednesday last. Early on the morning of the day above named, a labourer in the employ of Mr. Newinton, of Brook farm, llalstead, was proceeding across some fields .50 or 60 yards from the main road to this town, to his work, when he discovered the body of a female lying by the side cf a hedge near to a ditch. Perceiving that the unfortunate creature was dead, he immedi ately gave the alarm, and several persons hastened to the spot. The first sight of the corpse too clearly showed the horrible character of her death. To ap earance the woman seemed to have be en about fort y j years of age, her clothes indicating that she had been " hopping. Her head, face, neck, and shoul de r s ex- j hibited one mass of bruises, the blood from which had completely saturated her clothing, and here and there on the ground were pools of blood, which, coupled with the strong fact that the turf and ground about the spot were trodden down, bore a conclusive proof that the wretched creature had had a deadly encounter with one or more parties. Close to her feet was found a bundle, which was found to contain a handkerchief, a man's shirt (dirty), a black-handled table-knife, worn down at the blade, and a tobacco box. Several medical gentlemen were then called, to examine as to the cause of the unfortunate woman's death. Apparently life had not been extinct more than twenty-four hours, and from the circumstance of her fingers being stained, it is supposed that she was returning from hop-picking when she met with her horrible fate. On a careful examination being made of the body, it was clear that the poor creature had been brutally and savagely murdered.

The proceedings were accordingly adjourned. PARISH OF Sr. CLEMENT DANES.—INCREISE OP THE LOCAL TAXATION.—Last evening a crowded public vestry meeting of the inhabitants of this parish was held in the vestry room, in order to sign the rate for the relief of the poor for the third quarter, to receive the report of the committee appointed at the last vestry meeting to inquire into the increase of the local taxation, and to consider and decide what should be done relative thereto—Mr. Churchwarden Jaquet in the chair. The rate of 9d. in the pound having been signed without opposition, the Vestry Clerk read the report of the committee. It traced the increase in the taxation mainly to the metropolitan improvements, which had driven persons from districts formerly densely populated into this parish. It recommended as a re medy that a universal system of rating should bo adopted in preference to the present unequal system, but it advised that no step should be taken at this time, Mr. Buller having given notice for a Bill on the subject. Mr. Smith (overseer) moved, and Mr. W. Raimondiz seconded the adoption of the report. Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Williams opposed its reception, and complained that no account was given of the parochial charities. The latter moved, as an amendment, that a debtor and cre ditor account of the local taxation of the parish should be laid before the parishioners. Mr. Gannon vindicated the report, and strongly supported the proposition for a universal syst em o f rat i ng . Af ter some further discus sion the report was adopted, and the meeting shortly after separated.

The amount of bills discounted is again lower, by about two millions in Paris; whilst in the branch ba❑ks there is an increase of about one million. The bills protested during the week in Paris amount to 14,790,710 E, or about 500,000 f. less than the week be fore. On the side of the liabilities, the notes in circu lation remain nearly the same, an augmentation of five millions having taken place in Paris, and a diminution of five millions in the branch banks. The account-current of the_ Treasury now amounts to only 10,301,203 f., or nearly six and a half millions less than the preceding week. The whole amount of the metallic reserve is now 2291 millions, to 390 millions of notes in circulation. GREAT ARRIVAL OF FRENCH NATIONAL GUARDS. Last evening considerable excitement prevailed in the City in consequence of the appearance of several hundreds of the National Guards of France in full uniform, who have taken a trip across the Channel for the purpose of paying a visit to London. On their arrival at the South-Eastern terminus the de mand for cabs and hackney conveyances of all kinds caused great confusion ; and from the scarcity of vehicles on the stand, the wretched, wind-galled, blind, broken-kneed, spavined cock-tails were com pelled to do extra work, as every available part of the cab was duly furnished with its Gallic occupant. The greater body, however, were compelled to walk into town. The cabmen attempted to swindle the strangers out of six shillings beyond the legal fare, and the doors of the French hotels and lodging-houses quickly presented an animated scene of dialogue and gesticulation. The police were compelled to interfere and check the dishonesty and insolence of the drivers. The pavement of Fleet street became so crowded with Frenchmen and their astonished gazers, that to foot passengers the street was almost impassable. It is un derstood that these accoutred visitors intend remain ing but a few days, in order that another batch of the Republican heroes may enjoy similar pleasure. Tun NATIONAL GUARD, AND DISGRACEFUL CON DUCT OF A GRENADIER GUARDSMAN.—About nine o'clock last evening one of the most abominable acts which, under the peculiar circumstances, we have for some time heard of, was committed by two Grenadier Guardsmen upon two of the National Guard of France. It appears that at the hour above mentioned, the two strangers, who were in uniform, were passing up Fleet-street, when they were accosted by two of our soldiers in a friendly manner, and, taking it as a sort of national fraternization, they invited the Grew diers into the Dragon wine vaults to cement the friendship by a glass at the bar. A sovereign was tendered by one of the " National Guards" in pay ment, and, upon the change having been placed upon the counter, one of the Grenadiers took up a portion of the money and placed it in his pocket. This did not escape the notice of several persons at the bar, who immediately interfered, and, naturally indignant at the staia cast upon the honour of the British soldier, they demanded that the money should be returned, but the delinquents refusing the police were called in, and, to the honour of the people present be it said, they aided most effectually in having the fellows con veyed to the station-house in Fleet-street, not however before the police had been very roughly handled by the prisoners. The National Guardsmen, through their interpreter, begged in the strongest terms to have the men sent to barracks and no more notice taken of the matter, but this the inspector on duty most positively refused to accede to, the amount pur loined, 125., having been found upon them. They were locked up, and will be brought up to Guildhall this day. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. _- PORTSMOUTH MONDAY.—The strength of the navy having been reduced to a very low ebb, by the great over proportion of ships paid off to those commis sioned, an immediate addition is to be made to the various squadrons serving on foreign stations, and the ships generally are to be better manned. The Hermes steam-vessel, Mr. Martin master, arrived at Portsmouth from Plymouth, on Saturday morning, with thirty newly-entered men, to join the Rifleman. She sailed again the same evening on her return, with supernumeraries. The Driver steam-sloop, Commander Johnson, which sailed on Friday evening with provisions and water to relieve the wind-bound vessels in the chops of the Channel, returned to Spithead yesterday at noon, having proceeded no farther than Plymouth, a westerly wind having met her before she reached that port. The Sharpshooter screw steam-schooner, Lieu tenant-Commander J. C. Bailey, arrived at Ports mouth late on Saturday night from Woolwich, and went into the harbour yesterday. It is understood she is to have a trial of speed with the Rifleman as soon as the latter is undocked. The Kingfisher, 12, Commander Henry Harvey, at Portsmouth, hauled off from the Dockyard yester day morning, and was warped alongside her hulk, the Topaze. The tides have been so backward at Portsmouth since Thursday, that it has not been possible to open the basin to admit the Reynard, which vessel was to have gone in on Friday, and her head was pointed for that purpose, but the caisson could not be floated out of the grooves. The Fantome, 12, and Orestes, 14, were taken down at Portsmouth on Saturday for commissioning; but neither of them has hoisted the pendant as yet. The Meteor steam-vessel, Commander Butler, arrived last evening from the Mediterranean, but has made so long a passage that her news from Malta has been forestalled by much later advices. She put in at Lisbon on her way home, however, and remained about thirty hours, bringing a mail. The Racer, 16, Lieutenant Commander Bacon, was the only man-of war in the Tagus. Acting Paymaster and Purser F. W. Cole, has come home in the Meteor, superseded from the Mutine. The vessel is ordered to Sheerness to be paid off. As we have good reason for believing Captain Lushington, of the Vengeance, 84, at Naples, will decline the honour of the post of Commodore Super intendent of the Indian Navy, vice Sir Robert Oliver, deceased, that appointment will be conferred either upon Captain Sir Henry Leeke or Captain Mingrave. Wind, S.S.W., fresh gales and squally, with heavy and continuous rain all day. MALTA, OCT. 13.—The French mail steamer from the Levant, and the English steamer from Alexandria, with the India mails, are both due to-day, and may be hourly looked for. The Merlin, with the outward Indian mail, has just come in, with London dates of the 7th inst. They will be carried on by the Medusa to night. She has 45 passengers, the greater part of whom arrived by the Etaine. re are no other naval movemen t s o f any impor fieoricr ce. er ajesty's ship Superb, which arrived here on the 3d instant, left this port on the 7th for Gibraltar and England. She has been four years in commission, and will be paid off on her arrival home. On leaving port the Superb was cheered by the soldiers in the Fort St. Elmo, which cheers were responded to from on board. This vessel is now in a state of most efficient discipline, and has a crew so firmly united, and so zealous, that she may safely be classed as one of the best organised vessels in the service. OCTOBER 14, Two P.M.--The mails by French steamer from the Levant are about to close, and up to the present moment the Indian mail is not sig nalled. , . Corfu having put itself into communication viith Greece, vessels from that place are subjected, on ar rival here, to quarantine. The Antelope, arrived yesterday, is refused pratique. 'RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE BAVARIAN RAILWAYS.—A letter from Munich states that the -line from Neuwark to Hof has just been terminated. This line, which at Hof forms a junction with the railway from that city to the fron tier of Saxony, and opens communication with Planer, is of the length of thirty-two leagues, which have been repeatedly run over in two hours and a half. In order to accustom the men to the line expemental trips will continue until the first of next month, when it will be opened to the public. EAST AND WZST YORSIIIRE.—An adjourned meet ing of this company was held at Snaresborough on Friday last, to receive the report of a deputation which had been appointed to wait upon Mr. Unclean, the chairman of the York and North Midland, the York and Newcastle, and other railway companies ; to see if he would not lease the East and West York. shire line, or make some arrangement for working t, in consequence of the Leeds and Thirsk Railway having refused to carry into effect the arrangement they had made for leasing the line. Mr. J. Pent pre sided. After the deputation had presented their re port, some dismission took place, and it was agreed that, in accordance with his offer to the deputation, Mr. Hudson should be allowed to work the line for some time, in order that he may be the better able to see what, it will produce. The line will be opened on Monday next from Hay-park, near linareeborough, to the junction with the York and Newcastle Rail way, a short di s t ance north of York ; and three trains will run each way daily between York and Knares kbeoprzuagnhd. everythingtnAbeconrpreencttnatchceouinnstpoenftinnnfthe re directors o b r: of the East and West Yorkshire Company; and if they are dissatisfied with the working of the line the agreement' may be terminat e d at t h e expiration of three months' notice. It was also determined at the meeting to enforce the payment of the calls in arrear as promptly as possible, and to endeavour by every means to obtain from the Leeds and Thirsk Company the payment of 6,0001., due from them for the joint work done on the Nidd viaduct contract, which money has already been paid by the East and West York shire Company. The completion and opening of the Scottish Mid . _ land Junction enables goods to be conveyed without change of vehicle from London to the north of Scotland. Goods are also deliverable, without transhipment on the journey, between Montrose, Brechin, Forfar, and Glasgow, on the aftern oon o f the same day. Scotch cattle are also conveyed unin terruptedly to the Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Liver pool and Manchester markets. THE RAILWAY TO RYE.—This work is fast progressing towards the town from Ashford, and in the course of a few weeks the ballasting engines and waggons will reach to the Channel, close to the town, where a swing-bridge is being erected to bring the railway over the Rother to the foot of Rye-hill, where the road will he intersected by the railway. At this point some difficulty may probably be experienced, because of the bridge required to be erected to carry the turnpike road over the railway.—Sussex Express. GRIMSBY. The railway between Hull and Grimsby, belonging to the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company, is proving already one of the best schemes which has been projected in Lincoln- , shire. The traffic continues to increase to an unpre cedented extent; and since the entire line of com munication by railway between Hull and London has been effected, there is every probability, from even a few days' experience, that the London por tion will be a very material feeder to the line between Hull and Grimsby. The excursion trains during the fine weather have been exceedingly well patronised by the towns through which the line has been made ; and the prospect for next summer must be one of a very cheering character, not only to the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, but also to the East Lincolnshire and Great Northern Companies The East Lincolnshire directory, however, have very unwisely adopted a partial day-ticket system between the Louth and Waltham stations, a distance of three miles from Grimsby, and to Grimsby it has been denied ; while the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin colshire Company have as wisely acted the reverse between Grimsby and Hull, and the result has proved completely successful.— Sheffield Times. GRANTHAM.—THE AIIIDEREATE TUNNEL.-- On Saturday morning last, an accident occurred which providentially was unattended by any fatal result. About the centre, under the observatory, the miners had prepared a length of four and a halt' feet for the bricklayers. When they had finished their work, about a dozen of them being in the cavity, the earth above gave way, warning them that it was about to descend. The deal props w ere s hi vere d to spl i nters, and the poor fellows ran for their lives, but all fortu nately escaped. The thickness of earth fallen is in the centre said to be about thirty feet. Should the ground above keep its position, the disaster may be remedied in a few weeks.—. Lincoln Mercury. VALE OF NEATII RAILWAY.— We are glad to be informed that two additional contracts on this line have been let to highly respectable contractors. It appears the directors are very desirous to complete the line up to Hirvvain by the time the South Wales Railway will be completed to Swansea, so as to accommodate our visiting friends of Merthyr. The active chairman of this line (Lord Villiers) has recently attended two meetings of the directors at Neath, and went over part of the works on the line. We hear that Mr. Sharpe is proceeding rapidly with his contract near Merthyr, and Messrs. William Hopkins and - Evan Bevan - are now making some show in the lower part of the vale.—Cambrian. OXFORD AND RIIGBY.—Tho works on this northward extension of the Great Western, of 50 miles in length, have been stopped during the past ti eek. The men bare been discharged, and it is not probable that operations will be resumed before the commencement of spring. WATERFORD AND KILKENNY.—We understand that Mr. Radcliffe, the solicitor of the Waterford and Kil kenny Railway Company, accompanied by Capt. Moor som, the engineer-in -chief, is again in this city, endea vouring to make arrangements for the completion of the third contract on the line to Knockvvilliam, near Bally hale. —Kilkenny Moderator. THE FIRST RAILWAY IN SPAIN.—The first railway in Spain, from Barcelona to Matter°, has just been opened. It is five leagues long. THE 17TH REGIMENT, OCT. 23.—This regiment, stationed at Chatham, had its half -yearly inspection, in the square at the barracks, by Major-General Brown, C.B. and Ma, Deputy Adjutant-General. The regi ment, consisting of ten companies under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel John Stoyte, assembled in heavy marching order. The Major- General examined very minutely the men of each company, and afterwards re paired to the barrack-rooms and inspected several of the men's kits, and then went and examined the books of the regiment in the orderly-room, and expressed himself highly gratified to Colonel Stoyte with the appearance of the men under arms and the interior economy of the corps. This regiment returned to England in July, 1847, from India, where it formed part of the army un der the late Lord Keane, and was present at the first storming and capture of Ghuznee, and afterwards , formed part of the army under General Sir C. Napier. Major-General Brown, at the conclusion of his inspec- tion, visited the commandant, Colonel Simpson. The following has been addressed to the regiment:—" Lieu tenant-Colonel Stoyte has much pleasure in notifying'. the approbation of Major-General Brown respecting the appearance and interior economy of the regiment, and trusts that his approval on this occasion will stimulate the officers and non-commissioned officers and men to continue their exertions to sustain the character for good order and regularity which the Major-G enera l h as been pleased to say exists in the regiment." - - MISIIAPS IN IfAILIVAY CONTRACT WORIE.S.—That terrible antagonist to railway contract works, the rain, appears to be playing havoc amongst viaducts and arches, as if, in place of having the constitution of a brick, their framework were that of a fine lady, whose frail organism would be likely to be injured even by the evening dews, far less be capable of withstanding the undermining inroads of the rain. Now that the tender mercies of summer have departed, we begin to renew our almost weekly record of " unfortunate accidents"—un fortunate, indeed, fur everything seems to be dependent on chance, and nothing on foresight or design. The fatalities, too, have begun upon the wholesale system: one arch follows the example of another, and all come tumbling down by the dozen, just, as we have said, like recruits in the tumble-down rank and file of "Prussia& Exercise." If competition will compel the continuance of " close cutting" contracts, without a willing allowance even for chances of failure, at least the aid of some skilful professor of the calcuiation of chances ought to be got, so that the " close cutting" may no longer prove to be (pito so suicidal as it but too often must have been. —The Builder. EARTHQUAKE IN ENGLAND.—A correspondent from Dover informs us that on Friday morning, about seven o'clock, a slight shock of an earthquake was ob served at that town. It was felt in various parts of the town and as far as the second turnpike on the London road. A young lady describes the sensation to have been such as might have been produced had the bed on which she was lying taken a sudden leap and then been §csmewhat "(Motly oluken. at!' eta DA 19, PIO isse Ito tee DM,: ith dal or ht: at ch Iy, ay og he ur be of ri b- Dic ck Dk he • .• G• ~ • I - ' of a.
