MARKET 1N1: W&.--(THIS DAY COHN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY During the present va(l{ the receipts of English Wheat coastwise have amounted to 3,110 quarters. By land eirrizge the arrivals have bet n comparatively small. Most of the ab:)ve supply having gone direct into the hands of the millers, the show of samples here this morn ing Tai rn.vetth( less the demand for all de scriptions was iu a slu7gish state, owing to the con tinued itllux from abroad, at prices about t goal to those obtained ol Monday. The imports of foreign Wheat have exceeded 21,000 quarters. Notwithstanding this somewhat large importati,n, the holders were not to any anxious sellers. In the quotations we have no changa to notice. We had a very limited show of English Barley, bus that of foreign was good. There was more inquiry for mailing parcels, at fully last week's currencies. Grinding and distilling sorts were a slow inquiry, and, in some in• stances, rather easier to purchase. Malt, the fresh sup ply of which was only 1.850 quarters, was a dull sale, without alteration in value. We had a fair average quantity of Outs on offer, including 4,270 quarters from Ireland. The best sound Corn was steady, at late rates ; hut heated parcels were neglected. Beans, Peas, India Corn, and. Flour us last advised. ARRIVALS TIIIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley.

For the time of year, our market to-day was very moderately supplied with Beasts as to number, while their general quality was very inferior. Th© few prime Scots, &c., on off,r, sold freely, at, in some instances, a slight advance in the quotations. In the middling and interior breeds, only a limited business was transacted; yet a good clearance of the supply was effected. There was a considerable falling cif in the numbers of Sheep, the majority of which were composed of Leicesters, 'Cents, and half-breds. For most breeds, the demand was very steady, at an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs—the primest old Downs, which were unusually scarce, producinv, 4s to 4s 2d per Sibs. We had only a moderate supply of Calves on sale. The whole found buyers, at a rise in the currencies of from 2d to 4d per 8 1ba. There was rather more inquiry for Pigs, at full prices.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—THREE LIVE, LOST.—Yesterday morning an accident occurred on the river, off Rotherhithe, by which a man, his wife, and child were drowned, and sewn others narrowly escaped sharing the same fate. It appears that about seven o'clock yesterday morning a man named Desmond, with his wife and five children, accompanied by two friends, put off from Mill-stairs, Rotherhithe, in a boat belonging to a Waterman named Banks, for the purpose of embark ing in the Prussian Eagle, Irish steamer, there being ten persons in the boat at the time. The tide was run ning down very strong, and on the boat arriving along side the Prussian Eagle, a barge, which was laden with iron, and which was drifting down the river with the tide, with some velocity, appeared within a few yards of them, and before Banks could row the boat into a secure place, it was struck with great violence by the barge, and instantly stove the stets of the boat in. The boat instantly filled, sank, and the ten persons were all im mersed into the water. Boats were immediately manned by watermen and others, on both sides of the river, and the crew belonging to the ship Agnes, which was lying in the same tier as the Prussian Eagle. succeeded in picking up Desmond's two friends and Banks, and two of the children were fortunately saved by the timely assistance from the numerous boats. Inspector Luton, of the Thames Police, and his boat's crew, rowed up at the time, and saved two of the other children. Search was made for Desmond and his wife, but without suc cess, they had entirely disappeared. Some time after wards it was discovered that the youngest child was not amongst those who were saved, and it was then ascer tained that the unfortunate child was also drowned. It is supposed that all Desmond's property and that of his friends is entirely lost. Several watermen and dredgermen were dragging for the bodies until a Into hour, but without success. THE FREE BATHS AND WASH-HOUSE.—Yester day the Committee of the Free Baths and Wash-House establishment, belonging to the Association for pro moting Cleanliness among the Poor, situate in Glass house-yard, East Smithfield, near the London Docks, made the fourth annual report of their proceedings, from which it appeared that the number of bathers had been 31,240; washers of clothes, 32,492; ironers, 11,325; making a total of 75,037 persons; this great number being composed of poor creatures who have sought the benefits of th e i nst i tut i on ( w hi c h i s t h e on ly one o f the kind in the metropolis which is open gratuitously to the poor) fur the purpose of obtaining the refreshment of a bath, end the comfort and appearance of cleanliness to alleviate their sufferings, or gain them more readily some casual employ ment. This extraordinary amount of good, including all necessary repairs, renewals, and materials, soap, arid soda, has been effected with the small sum of 3151. 'The balance-sheet for the twelve months ending June last, showed the subscriptions to be 2401., whilst the expenditure, including a loan and pre vious balances, leave the committee in debt to more than 200/. The funds are wholly exhausted, and unless prompt assistance is afforded the poor must be deprived of sun advantages. Friends are the thermometers by which we may judge the temperature of our fortunes,--.Eliza Cook's Journal, RE-EXAMINATION OF THE MANNINGS.—(THIS DAY.) Notwithstanding the repeated examinations of the Mannings, the anxiety manifested to-day, on the occa sion of their last examination, appeared, if possible, to be more intense than on former days. Every part of the court was densely crowded, and the front and rear of it were surrounded by large numbers of people, who evinced a great desire to catch a glimpse of the prisoners, or to hear some part of the proceedings which took place inside. Owing to the difficulty of hearing in the court when filled with spectators, a large sounding-board had been magierectedstrate. im mediately above th e seat occupied by the Mr. Binns and Mr. Solomons attendel as before for the prisoners, and Mr. Bodkin for the Crown. Mr. Biens intimated to our reporter that there was no truth whatever in the report that Manning had at tempted to commit suicide, adding that he was never in better spirits. At two o'clock the prisoners were brought into court. No visible difference could be seen in either of their ap pearances. They were requested to stand up in the dock. This they immediately did, and they both looked calm and collected. John Green, clerk of the transfers to the Eastern Counties Railway Company, produced a book contain ing a transfer of twenty shares from Elizabeth Parkin son to Patrick O'Connor, dated 16th May, 1849. In consequence of that transfer a certificate was issued to the purchaser, Mr. O'Connor. A person representing himt:elf as Patrick O'Connor signed the book, acknow ledging the receipt of the certificate. Mr. Bodkin here handed the witness a paper, and asked him whether that was the certificate. Witness— Yes, that is the same certificate that was delivered to the person who then signed himself "P. O'Connor." I have no personal knowledge of that individua). Mr. Alexander Lomond, stock and share-broker, 1, Royal Exchange buildings, examined, said—Knew the late Mr. Patrick O'Connor, of the Custom. house, and about the end of April bind the beginning of May I pur chased twenty shares in the Eastern Counties lt,tilway. I see his signature in the book produced by the last witnes-. I believe it to be the signature of Patrick O'Connor. (The examination was proceeding when our re THE POST OFFICE CHANGES. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 29.—1 t is understood that the contemplated changes in the General Post-office, whereby the receipt, sorting, and transmission of letters on the Sabbath are determined on, have arisen in a great degree out of' the inconveniences existing in respect to arrivals of foreign mail steamers at Southampton on Saturdays and SAindays. Although these inconveniences have been frequently alluded to in this journal, yet, in the present juncture, it may not be out of place to recur to them, with a view to explain the n ecess it y t h at h as existedfor some altera tion in the arrangement of the central Post-office. When any of the royal mail steamers arrive at Southampton on Saturdays after 3 P.m., the letter bags cannot be dispatched to London in time to be sorted and included in the mails leaving the metro polis by that night's trains to the provinces for de livery on Sunday morning, and it therefore happens that mails from the East Indies, China, Egypt, the Mediterranean, British and Foreign West Indies, South America, Chili, Peru, Venezuela, Spain, Por tugal, the United States, &c., have to remain in the Post-office till Monday morning, then to be dis tributed and forwarded by day mails to Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Bradford, York, Nottingham, Birmingham, Bristol, Exeter, S ou th ampton, and the whole of the English provincial towns and cities, besides Scotland and Ireland, and it is actually the case that letters for Southampton, brought by the steamers, reaching on Saturday P.M., having to be sorted in London, cannot be delivered till the following Monday afternoon at four o'clock, although the steamers have been 48 hours in port—while in the case of the manufacturing and northern districts the letters are not delivered there till the evening, too late for Monday's business operations. The evil does not stop here, for the delay of the mails in transitu at the General Post-office frequently involv(s the less of an opportunity of replying by the return steamers, and thus a whole men of ten days or a fort night is lost. It is needless to remark that the royal mail steamers do not always reach Southampton on Saturdays or Sundays, these occurrences being rather the exception than the rule. When such arrivals take place, only a few hours' work will be required from the officials on the Sabbath, which will neces sary lighten and lessen their labours on the succeeding Monday. sort left. 4 - lOW TO MAKE A GOOD CUP OF TEA.—M.

In taking a review of the votes given in 1848, during the session of Par liament, I find ten of your Members, out of 200 votes were for liberal measures, 26 against ditto, and 165 they never voted for at all. 1 hope a better day is dawning over you, trusting, ere we meet again, an advance in the right direction will show itself through out the whole county of Norfolk.—(Cheers.) Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY, ALP., then addressed the meeting, thanking those present for the hospitable and enthusiastic reception they had met with in the ancient city of Norwich—not for the strangers, but for the cause. What is said here this night will be wafted on the wings of the press to every part of the British empire. Such a meeting must give vigour to our own councils, which must ultimately crown our efforts. The increasing desire which exists in favour of an extension of civil rights is at present but little understood by many, or even less appreciated among the rulers of the people. Were some of those present this evening in this densely crowded hall, the grievances they now complained of would not long go unredressed. The Council which I have the honour to preside over have determined to ask for an ex tension of the franchise to every male of the age of twenty-one occupying a house, or a part of one, a residence of six months entitling them to that privi lige—duration of Parliaments not to exceed three years —to give a more equal proportion of population to property—to members the abolition of the pro perty qualification. By so doing the number of voters will be raised from one to five millions, which will bring a great many more under the pale of the con stitution, to remove thosse monstrous inequalities by which an oligarchy have been taught to tread on the rights of the people.--(Cheers.)

Some cry out, what good will reform do ?—it might as well be said by the thief, w hen he is detected, what good will it be to restore to you the stolen pro perty ? Class legislation must cease—prcperty would then have its full weight—the army and navy would then be reduced to reasonable bounds—the Dissenters would then be relieved from exactions they feel they have no right to pay : millions of our fellow-men would be emancipated from their present degradation and slavery, and instead of disaffection and poverty, peace and plenty would reign in their place. They were not promulgating new-fangled notions, but urging those measures which have been advocated by the wise and good of old time. Mr. Grey, in 1797, afterwards Lord Grey, demanded then what we ask now, a full and free representation, supported by Mr. Erskine. The Hon. Baronet went on, at consider able length, in a similar strain, being attentively lis tened to throughout and frequently applauded. Mr. PARRY, the unsuccessful candidate for the city of Norwich, was the next speaker, but we are sorry want of space prevents ,us reporting the same. FEARGUS O'CONNOR, M.P. for Nottingham, was the next speaker, who was favourably received. The last. speaker for the evening being G. THOMPSON, Esq., who was very brief.

There were four long tables running length ways of the room, and a cross table at the top fur the speakers and others. The room was decorated with evergreens, and flags bearing the following inscrip tions :—" Respectability of the Crown," " Durability of the Constitution," " Prosperity of the People," " Constitution, and nothing but the Constitution," " Steady and Progressive Reform, all we seek, all we feel, for England's glory, Briton's dream," &c.

THE RICHES OF THE HEART. (From Eliza Cook's Journal.) There are riches in the greenwood, In the gloaming's twilight spell, In the purple sea of sunset, In the Summer's painted bell, In the scattered pearls of morning, In the classic books of old; There are riches in the thunder By that gush of liquid gold. There are riches in the ocean, Where the spoils of nations lie; Riches in the face of beauty, Dazzling riches in her eye. Riches were our old Earth's dow'r Since " The Word" thru' chaos' gloom Roused the music of creation, And the sweetness of her bloom. From the hills of high Judea (Ttod by footsteps so divine!), From the streets of proud Damascus, With its roses dropping wine; From those lands of loved Arabia To the Indian's blushing plains, Riches flow like sunlight ever Thro' her full and fruitful veins. Yet beyond these marvel treasures, Gems that seem the rainbow spent— Diamonds like the sunlight philtered, Sapphires like the firmament. More than these, our infant wonders, More than May's green tide of leaves, More than Autumn's crown regalia, Or the wealth the Summer weaves. More than these were all collected, And the world an altar made; There are riches round our spirits, Like the rose-leaves in the glade. Faith that soars from earth to heaven, Lapp'd in visions of the bliss, In that gorgeous land awaiting All the cross-marked souls of this. Faith, and nobler, greater, purer, Holy, God-born Charity_ Who such riches e'er could barter For the world's vain treasury? Charity that links us nearest To our being's source above— Charity that is to stamp us His—His own—the God of lovel These are riches worth the craving. Faith, that eyesight to the blind!— Charity, whose deeds are numbered By the palm-wreaths seraphs bind. Hearts without them, what shall picture! Lifeless world? or wand'ring star? Hearts that prove them, bless EIS bounty— Ye aro rich as angels are. E. E. M. K. DR. MUSPRATT'S COLLEGE OF CHEMISTRY AT LIVERPOOL.—This institution, according to the Liver pool papers, has just received the patronage of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and some time since his Royal Highness Prince Albert was graciously pleased to bestow upon it his patronage. The College has also been honoured with accngnitions from the University of London and the Royal College of Surgeons of England. The Apothecaries' Company, we understand, still with holds its acknowledgment. We hoie, with Punch, that it will reform none of its "absurd regulations" until it provokes the Legislature to reform it altogether. MGR TlDE.—Yesterday afternoon the waters of the River Thames overfhwed the customary boundary. The tido made its way into Fore-street, Lambeth, and the adjacent thoroughfares, flowing into the dwellings of the inhabitants, who were greatly terrified. The open space in front of Lambeth Palace was covered with water. In Bermondsey and Itotherhithe the low lying places were inundated, and the marshes at Chelsea, Woolwich, and Greenwich. The wharfs on the north bank of the Thames, including Hungerford and the Adeiphi, were partially immersed. PUBLIC LIBRARIES FOR THE WORKING CLASSES. —Yesterday the parochial authorities of St. Ja mes ' s , Westminster, opened a public library of 1,600 volumes in Marshall-street, Golden•square, for the exclusive use of working people. This step has been taken on the recommendation of the Bishop of London, and will be generally adopted in all parishes within the dieeeise• ters of 1842 stated that the Reform Bill of 1831 gave a preponderating influence to the landed interest. The validity of that assertion no one will now deny. Six teen of our largest borougl - s, including the seven metropolitan, returned but thirty-three members, with half the number of voters for the whole boroughs in England, while the other half send 290 members—thirty from boroughs with less than 300 voters; 64 from those with less than 400 ditto; and 81 from those with less than 500 ditto; 86 members returned by a less aggregate number than are contained in the Tower Hamlets, with only two members ; 69 of the boroughs are be yond the power of popular influence, for the mostpart in the power of either Whig or Tory landlord or landlords, and when they want to return their nomi nee, the tenant farmers are driven to given their votes, going to the hustings like sheep to the slaughter.

FUNERAL OF THE L ATE M r . G . 11. WAR O D.CT—The mortal remains of this gentleman were deposited in the family vault in St. Mary's Church this morning, in the most private manner, the corpse being taken di rectly from the grounds of Northwood House into the churchyard by the family's private gate, without being brought out into the public road. It was attended by the heir to the estates (Mr. W. G. Ward), and the deceased's only surviving brother (Mr. H. B. Ward), Messrs. John and Robert Saun ders, the executors, and other members of the family, the solicitor, stewards, and the domestics. Nearly all the shops in West Cowes were partially closed the whole day. Mr. W. G. Ward, his lady, their two chil dren, and her sister, are staying at Mill-hill House, the seat of the late General Richardson, which was pro vided for them by the Rev. Mr. D'Acey. GAME.—The late Mr. Ward was a very strict pre server of game, and had several large preserves, which were attended and watched at so great an expense, that he has often said every pheasant he had cost him a guinea, and such was the destruction they made in the crops of his tenants, that they thought they cost them as much. Report saes that the pre sent Mr. Ward intends following the example set by Mr. A'Court Holmes and others—allowing his tenants to look after the game themselves, which will save him all the expense of keepers and watchers, and give universal satisfaction to the unfortunate farmers on whose crops these vermin have so long been feeding.
