INSPECTING ENGINEER—On behalf of the Right Hon. the Lords of the Admiralty, Captain Brandreth, R.E. ENGINEER—WiIIiam Bush, Esq. SECRETARY—John T. Tidd, Esq. The beneficial effects arising from the construction of Docks has been amply proved by those already made in the port of London, where the vessel is placed in perfect security, and the property of the merchant is amply protected. The application of steam to merchant vessels has established a new class of shipping recpririnir peculiar accommodation, such as cannot be obtained in the existing Docks. The time appears therefore to have arrived, when the great commercial interests of this port and city should be provided with a Dock for the ocean going steam ships which frequent the Thames ; and besides this, the interests of humanity ask for the speedy institution of such measures as shall prevent the awfully numerous accidents to lire and property incidental upon the navigation of large steamers in the crowded parts of the river between Deptford and London-bridge. One opinion only can exist as to the necessity end importance of a Steam Dock in the Pert of London ; and it is matter of surprise, that the Metropolitan Port should not have preceded in a matter of such pressing necessity, the other great Ports of the Kingdom, Liverpool, Bristol, and Hull, in constructing Steam Docks. To accomplish the result, the present undertaking has been projected ; which, besides the great and valuable objects it has in view, offers the prospect of a fair dividend upon the outlay to proprietors. To satisfy the public of the secure footing upon which the undertaking is established, it is only necessary to state that ar rangements have been made between the Company and the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, by which the Public Service will be greatly benefited in the establishment of this Dock, and whereby the Company will derive such advantages as must necessarily have the effect of securing its prosperity ; the particulars of which may be seen at the Office of the Com pany, by application to the Directors, or Secretary. '1 he Commissioners appointed by their Lordships to examine and report upon the undertaking, were Capt. Shirreff, R N., Captain Superintendent of her Majesty's Dock and Victualling Yards at Deptford; Capt. Beaufort, R.N., Hydrographer to the Board ; and Capt. Brandreth, R.E., Civil Engineer to the Admiralty. According to these arrangements the works are to be pro ceeded with, and finished with all possible dispatch, agreeably to Plans adopted by, and deposited with, the Board, who have appointed Captain Brandreth, R.E., to inspect the Works during their progress ; and the line of frontage of the proposed Dock is to be subject to the approval of Captain Beaufort, R.N., Hydrographer to the Admiralty. Upon a careful examination of the different sites on either side of the river Thames, suited to the purpose of a dock of this description, there is not one which offers such excellent qualifi cations as that situate between her Majesty's Dock-yard and Deptford Creek. These advantages are,—the depth of water to be obtained close in shore,*—the proximity of the various railways, south of the Thames, for the conveyance of goods and passengers,—and the low value of the property necessary to be taken. These advantages will also be increased by the depth of water at. the Lock Entrance and Frontage of the proposed Dock. The Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having permitted to be adopted an arc founded on a radius of 4,500 feet, commencing at the Royal Dock-yard, and terminat ing at the Greenwich Pier, thus giving an extension ,of wharfage into the River, which will tend greatly to improve the navigation of that part of the Thames. Amongst the advantages to be derived by the Steam Ship Owner, may be enumerated the saving of wear and tear of en gines ---of fuel—of freedom from risk of collision, and conse quent expensive results—safety of the vessel—facility for in spection after long voyages—convenience for fit.ing and refitting —an abundant supply of tittered water always et command— together with a depot of coals within the Dock. A careful and detailed estimate has been made, and the same is to be approved by the Engineer of the Admiralty before the works are commenced. _ It will not be unimportant to know that the Dock will con tain quay-room for vessels to lay alongside, of about 7,476 feet, and capacity of water-room equal to the accommodation of 100 steamers, besides craft at one and the same time, with ample space for loading and unloading, and landing and embarking passengers. The affairs of the Company will be conducted by a Board of Directors, consisting of not less than eight, nor mere than eigh teen, under a Deed of Settlement, to be approved of by the Counsel of the Company on behalf of all parties, and by an Act of Parliament, so soon as the same can be obtained, to contain all such clauses and conditions as may by such Counsel be deemed necessary and available for the government of the Company, and the limitation of the Subscribers' responsibility. Application to subscribe for Stock, may be made to the Se cretary, post paid. A deposit of 10 per cent. to be paid upon subscribing, and no further call will be requires! for six months. Interest at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum will be allowed upon a limited number of subscr ptions for 100/. Stock paid in full at the time of subscribing—to be received half-yearly until the Dock is completed, when the profits will be divided amongst the Proprietors. January, 1/541. JOHN T.

ZANTE, OCT. 31. —Scarcely twenty-fours have elapsed since we experienced a shock of earthquake, which has involved the loss of many lives and a considerable de struction of property. As yet we are here ignorant of the full extent; of the injury; sustained; in the island. Reports are houtly arriving of entire villages having been laid prostrate. I should premise that all the troops (ex cepting 100 men quartered in the town) are stationed in the castle, a miserably fortified inclosure on the summit of a rocky eminence, which overlooks the !own on one side and an extensive plain on the other. I have not left the castle since the catastrophe, and will just tell you what fell under my personal observation. It was a few minutes after nine o'clock, and I had risen from the breakfast table and was leaning out of the win dow with a book in my hand, when I was startled by the rattling of tiles immediately over my head. I fancied it was some one walking upon them, glanced out, and was half smothered by a heap of bricks and mortar—the whole of the chimney had fallen. At the same instant I felt the floor tremble beneath me. All doubts of the cause immediately vanished. I rushed through en open door into the next room to gain the outside of the house; the outer door was shut and latched. In vain I strove to open it, it seemed to elude my grasp ; the walls, the floor, windows, and doors, ap peared to swim before my eyes. The earth now heaved under me, and the house seemed to be swayed from side to side. I tore frantically at the door, which opened in wards, and darted into the open air just as a tremendous crash announced the fall of a portion of the walls. Who shall paint the scene a Lich now presented itself? A low moaning, and then a death-like silence, followed the thundering sound of the fall of buildings. During this short but awful pause of a few seconds, the crowds who had rushed from their dwellings stood as if transfixed with horror and afright. Then suddenly arose the clangour of human tongues, the shouts of men, and the heart-rending screams of women, seeking their husbands and children. Never will that minute fade from my memory, still less can I forget those seconds during which I stood at the threshold of the door, and as it seemed to me, of eternity. The earth yielding under my feet—the crash of ruin over head and around rne, escape apparently cut off—those 15 or 20 seconds seemed protracted into hours! The sidus of the rock on which we are perched are so precipitous that, except from the walls of the castle, the town below is scarcely visible ; glancing my eye, however, seaward in the direction of the town, I observed several dense columns of dust rising, which sufficiently told that the destruction was not confined to our immediate quarter. At this moment a child seven or eight years of age, the son of one of our sergeants, was borne along quite dead— a bruised mass. Passing on, I observed a woman in an agony of apprehension, for her child was missing. In a few moments he too was found, crushed to death under a prostrated wall. Providentially these appear to be the only fatal cases which have occurred in the castle. Bruises and contusions are numerous. Not a house up here has es caped ; every wall which still remains standing is either cracked from top to bottom in sundry places, or is thrown out of the perpendicular. All the plastering is shaken down both within and without. The only building which forms an exception to the rest, being apparently unhurt, is tb.a grand magazine, which is a well.built stone edifice. The other magazines, ordnance, and barrack stores are open to wind and weather. The great shock must have been of forty seconds' or a minute's duration. It may assist you in forming some conception of its violence, when I tell you that the piles of s inch shells on a mortar battery were overthrown and scattered about.. The highest point in the castle is an open plateau ; this is rent by fissures 40 or 50 yards long; large portions of the parapet and loopholed wall have been overthrown, and the stone platform in a small bastion is broken up. I have been in barracks in England and Ireland, and have had a pretty long experience of them in Asia and Africa. but never have I seen troops, men and officers,:thrust into such dogkennels as in this island of Zante. Nay, I have here seen some of our men in hovels such as I would scarcely permit my dog to occupy, for two days—mud walls and a mud floor, with huge stones projecting at intervals of 2or 3 feet. No windows nor chimney— one-third of their number without beds, a deficiency of blankets, not a table nor form, and the men positively obliged ta lift the miserable door off its hinges and lay it on the ground to serve as a table for them to take their meals; nor are the officers more fittingly provided for. The inconveniences to which we were exposed on arrival here are unpardonable. Since these islands have been under British protection Zante has had a garrison ; there fore fitting accommodation should have been provided for them. Barracks never have been built here, but these miserable hovels have been rented for the troops to the annoyance of all parties. By a fortunate coincidence, the very day, and almost the hour, which brought the earthquake, brought to our shores the Lord' High Commissioner Sir Howard Doug.. LONDON and WESTMINSTER WATER COMPANY.

REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to 54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen -street, Cheapsidc. J. R. WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, who wish to paint their houses of Roman cement., stucco, or brick walls, as a preven tive to damp or sea sprh, in exposed situations; it will not blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent slating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences, farm, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as lommon paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves sels, it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no other colour may be imposed upon them for his.

(From the ManchPster Guardian.) A very important and interesting case,was last week tried before Mr. Sheriff Alison, in Glasgow, which threw con siderable light on the profits of the cotton trade. The Trustees of the Clyde Navigatiim had obtained an Act of Parliament, in virtue of which they proposed to encroach on or remove the works of Messrs. Todd and Higgenbotham, at Springfield. Mr. Todd, the original proprietor of the works, is dead, and his representatives claimed for the land, from which they derived a feu (chief rent), in addition to his share in the value of the works. Mr. Higgenbotham, who was formerly an inhabitant of Winchester, had at tr4cted the notice of Mr. Todd by his business-like habits. at a time when the latter was becoming infirm, rather more• than sit years ago. So imperfect were Mr. Higgen botham's ideas of the value of the concern when Mr. Todd offered him a share to secure his services, that he stipulated for a salary of 4001. per annum secured before he would remove. His modest ideas were destined to no small sur prise and expansion. Amongst the witnessea were several gentlemen from Manchester, who spoke to the effect of removal in dete riorating a business such as that of Mr. Higgenbotham, and attested the estimation which the firm enjoyed in the ma nufacturing world. Among these were Mr. Daniel Broad hurst, Mr. William Hall, Mr. Alexander Glendinning, and Mr. Edward Grundy. We have neither room nor space for the evidence of these gentlemen, but the details furnished by the accountant were extraordinary. The works at Springfield contained 16 000 spindles, printing and Turkey-red dying works, and about twenty looms The manufacture was entirely for the home market The total number of hands employed was 889. The average annual consumption of drugs and dye stuffs, from 1833 ,o 1840 inclusive, was 29,206/. Average annual amount of furnishings for the same period was 4556/. The average produce in the printing and dyeing department was 264,666 pieces, of 25 yards each. Sales 264,252. Leav ing a difference of only 414. _ 'in money the average annual sales amounted to 151,204/. In estimating the capital employed, we find that five per cent. interest on the whole was deducted before the net profits were taken ; and in the year 1840 that interest amounted to 5,4001., representing a capital of 108,0001. The interest, and all charges, including Mr. Higgen botbarn's 4001. per annum during the copartnery, being deducted, the average annual net profits for the six years, from 1835 to 1840, were 11,6891. The compensation tendered by the trustees was the maa nificent sum of 6,250/. ; afterwards reduced to 6,2301. The Jury found for fliggenbotbam 43,733/. ; for Todd's executors 8,1191. One thing is tolerably clear from this discloosure, that even in the worst times money invested in print works, with judicious management, may make a prodigious return. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Elizabe p th ris MARLBORO.UGH-STREET. Wiliam Griffiths, an l'lsilua , u ! about 50 years of age s h e had been obliged to live apart from hhn for several weeks past, but he having found cut where she lodged, called on her on Wednesday eveninz, and prevailed upon her to . live with him again. She se was charged with assaulting his wife. The cmoemaptlaoifnahnetr,stated that through . t h e cordingly was about getting some tea ready for him, when, without the slightest provocation, be struck her se veral slaps with his open hand on the face, an d t h en sc i L ing the fire-tongs, inflicted with all his strength a most dread ful blow on the left side of the head nearest the temple, which felled her to the floor, and for a time completely stunned her. On coming to herself, she found.the blood was streaming from her head, and the pri soner asw rend ing beside her, sh ar p enin g a knife, and threatening he would butcher her, and she fully believed that he would have taken her life, or dreadfully mutilated her, but that her cries brought one of the lodgers to her assistance. oa which the prisoner made his escape out of the house. He. however, returned on the following morning, and sold off all her furniture. The lodger in question corroborated the complainant's statement. Mr. Los° Raid the case was such a ser i ous one, that he should not dispose of it in a summ ary way, b ut should send it to the sessions. The prisoner was accordingly committed for want of bail.

The remainder of us are either in tents or bivouac until accommodation can be provided. Nov. 2.—The steamer is not yet in, so I resume. We are kept in constant apprehension ; the shocks still con tinue at frequent intervals. Yesterday, at 5 p.m., whilst taking our hasty dinner in the open air, we were startled by a iow rumbling under ground, which was immediately suc ceeded by a violent shock, which has levelled some more buildings. In the meantime clouds are gathering and everything promises a heavy fall of rain. This only is wanting to complete our discomfort. The tents —ill afford little pro tection to our beds; we shall be soaked, and the houses now tottering will fall in upon our goods and chattels. We arc busy in digging trenches round the tents, and driving spare tent-pegs. His Excellency is to inspect us on the Mole this even ing. He sleeps on board the steamer every night, and purposes remaining here until after the arrival of the English mail. 1 went into town on Saturday night. Large portions of rock had been detached and rolled down from above, blocking up the Venetian -road. A stone archway near the top of the road had fallen in. Some of our men had a providential escape hare. Nine o'clock is the hour for guard-mounting. The guards, on Friday morning, had just reached this point on the road, on their route to town, the leavir,g guard had passed through the archway, when at that very moment the whole mass of masonry came down. One huge block struck the bayonet and firelock of the last man of the guard. His arms, were, of course, sloped. The bayonet is bent round, the barrel and part of the stock crushed. Our band was likewise on the road, some distance in advance, Here there were houses on each side. They describe to me the houses as rocking to and fro.

DEATH FROM THE VAPOUR OF CHARCOAL. —On Thursday morning a fatal accident occurred in the Archbishop of Canterbury's Palace, Larnbetb, amongst the numerous workmen who have been employed for some months past in the repairs and embellishment of that edi fice. It appears that, on Thursday morning, the painters repaired to their work as usual. Most of them had been out holiday-making the previous night, and had not had any rest. Owing to the intensity of the cold, they heated a large pan of charcoal in the rooms in which they were at tv',lk. Between eleven and twelve o'clock, the foremen of the workmen discovered several of his men sleeping in the room in which the charcoal was burning, and at that time the state of the atmosphere was such as seriously to affect the breath, the doors having been closed for a con siderable length of time. It was with the utmost difficulty that the men could be roused, and two of them were appa rently lifeless. Two medical gentlemen were promptly in attendance, who, for a considerable length of time, adapted measures of restoration, and after the lapse of some time one of the men was restored to sensibility, but all hu man efforts proved unavailing with the other. The name of ti,e deceased is John Thomas Dobenson. He was a painter, twenty-three years of age, and was a remarkably tine, robust young man. The surgeons who were called in are decidedly of opinion that, had not the men been discovered at the time they were, the whole of them must have perished f:om the noxious vapour. It is supposed, although not fully proved, that the unfortunate deceased was in a state of intoxication at the time he fell asleep. The other man is in a fair way of recovery. The body of the deceased at pres,mit lies at the Palace. He was a sin gle man. Information of the occurence has been fer warded to the parish authorities, and an inquest will be held on the body. CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 18.—The English steamer, the Stromboli, arrived here yesterday, direct from Alexandria, with despatches, announcing the unconditional submission of the Pacha of Egypt, who throws himself en tirely on the kindness of the Allies. A Council of War was immediately held at Lord Ponsonby's, by the four re presentatives. Nothing of their deliberation has yet been made known. THE WEATHER. (From our Evening Edition of Last Night.) This is the coldest day we have had since the frost set in on the 13th of December. Yesterday morning, at four o'clock, the thermometer in the Zoological Gardens Re gent's Park, stood at 11 dog. Fahrenheit, being the same temperature as!on Christmas at midnight at the same place At Hackney, at seven o'clock the thermometer was 17 deg., and at nine o'clock stood 15 deg., the wind being north, and rather inclining to the west. At noon, and at four in the afternoon, a thermometer at Charing.cross in dicated 28 deg. Fahrenheit. The atmosphere was hazy at, and after, noon, but gave no indications of a change in the weather. The roads were slippery, and most of the suburban omnibuses and other vehicles had extra horses attacherto them. Although the external thermometer at the Zoological Gardens indicated so low a degree of temperature, in the giraffe-house the thermometer averaged from 52 deg. to 54 deg. ; in the elephant-house, 44 deg. to 48 deg. ; in the repository, 50 deg. to 53 deg. ; and the monkey-house, 49 deg. to 52 deg. ; these being found most conducive to the general health of the animals. It is feared that this severe weather will prove very destructive to many of the half-hardy and acclimatised shrubs and trees in our public gardens, many of which have scarcely recovered from the effects of the winter of 1837-38. _ _ In some places the Thames is frozen over. We have a dense fog, as we had yesterday, which renders the naviga tion of the river exceedingly difficult, especially below bridge. A number of collisions teok place a mongst the craft yesterday. The bows of a fishing smack, called the Dart, belonging to Gainsborough, came in contact with the stern of a collier brig, moored in Limehousc-reach, and carried away a portion of her bulwarks; the fishing smack was also much injured. The crowded state of the Pool, in addition to the fog, proved a serious inconvenienc e to to vessels passing up and down.

The last Sunday scents to have been general throughout the country. For some days past, the weather has been unu sually cold, and the atmosphere seemed heavily charged. Thursday morning, snow began to fall ; and, during the day, there were s evera l h eavy showers, with every indica tion of a set sturn.—Abercleen Herald, Jau. ti. The citizens of Canterbury arc involved in all the bustle of a contested election. As we predicted, Lord Albert Conyngliam has for many announced his .intention of resigning his seat. His addriss was made public on Friday last. The Reformers were immediately on the alert, and messen gers were dispatched to announce the intelligemle to John Henniker Wilson, Esq., at his seat in Hampshire, who had declared his intention of offering himself as is candidate on the Liberal interest at the expected va cancy. Mr. Wilson arrived in this city on Monday evening, and immediately issued an addres!:, and the next morning commenced a canvass, which up to the present moment is proceeding ai favourably as the Re formers could doire. Mr. Wilson's prin,liples are those of a staunch Reformer, and likely to coi, lihate in his favour all classes of the Liberal electors. aje loss the support of Mr. Villiers and his friends. Lot,' Co nyngham's supporters one and all will as t matter' of course render every aid to Mr. Wilson. The caridida,'e selected for the struggle by tic Tories is the Hon. Ain Smyth, son of Viscount Strangford, who has only re cently become known in this city by haviig filled the offic e of Steward at the King's School Anniversary Dinner and one of the Races.-ICe:rt CITY REGISTRATION. The City of London licgiitration Committee have made a Rrport of their labours for the List registration, of which the following is an abstract : Regretting the defects, but nevertheless keeping in view the real and honest purposes of the Reform Act, the Com mittee have, as always, sought rather to maintain and im prove the rights awarded to the constituent body, than to contest the franchise of any of their fellow-citizens under shelter of the technicalities of law, or of quibliles in its construction; and this may be seen b✓ the fact, that in the years 1838 and 1839, the Revising Barrister held the qualification of solicitors as holding " offices" to be im perfect, on the ground that the word " office" was not a term of qualification in the Act, an objection which, if the Committee had acted upon it at the present time, might, it was suggested, have been urged successfully against many of their opponents in that respectable and influential class of society. The Committee, however, determined to make no such objections, but to follJw the spirit rather than the letter of the Act ; and they do not, repent of having adopted th s course, the Revising Barrister having this year, contrary to every expectation, deterni;ned that such votes were good and allowed them accordingly. The following result, the Committee trust, will show their labours in a clear and satis'actory manner : Claims—Liberal, 90 allowed, 23 failed ; Tory 45 al lowed, 48 failed. Objections—Liberal, 97 sustained, 33 failed ;; Tcry, 342 sustained, 2.55 failed. Amongst other matters, the " notices" of objeetion made by the Tories to the votes of the Liberal party (the validity of which is disputed by the Committee, us not containing ;the objector's place of abode), have attracted much astention ; and there is certainly good ground to believe that all such notices are bad, in which belief the Committee are supported by the opinion of Coun,el, which they thought it right to take upon the subject. The Com mittee, after making three unsuccessful attempts to estab lish their own views, of course abandoned the point; but they recommend that, in the event of any electiu, founded upon the present registry, the votes struck oil by virtue of these objections should lics tendered upon proper evidence, as they think the " notices" of objections would be pro nounced invalid before a Committee of the House of Com mons, if ally reference were made to that tribunal. Upon a fair review of their whole labours, the Com mittee think they may congratulate the constituency upon the present state of the register : at the first sight 'of which it would appear, perhaps, that the Tories had gained an advantage upo❑ the present revision, but a careful compa rison with the register of the year 1837, and the voes given thereupon in the general election of that yesr, will gugge-t u very daerent conclusion. Thus of the 439 votes now struck off by the " objections" of both p SI only voted at that election, and of these 50 were Re formers, and 31 'furies. So fir, it is true, there i. a majority of 19 in favour of the Tories ; but on the other ha'id, the Reformers have established 45 mole " than their opponents, which really leaves a net balance of .26 in their favour. This small amount :he Committee admit to be of little importance in a constituency of such large numbers; but It is an answer to those who are so loud in their vauntings of the " spread of Conservatism," as well as a proof that sound and rational principles, instead of being on the de cline, are still appreciated and maintained by the citizens of London. The following statement, also tending to the same con. viction, will further elucidate the subject : Il.egii..tcr of No. of Livery. floushholders.

By this latter table, which the Committee recommend to earnest attention, it will be perceived that sine., the year 1837 the Livery, that "stumbling-block to improve ment," as may be traced by its influence in its palmy days of exclusive power, is gradually melting away, whilst the Householders, who in London, not less than elsewhere, have proved the salvAion of the country, arc upon the in_ crease. Tile register of electors is, however, far from complete, and a large field is still open fur exertion, to tivate which, the constituney should not remain idle.

The making of warp silk blond plain nets, termed by the French tulle, is not by any means improved. The ru mours of an abatement in the wages are still continued, but it is to be hoped without any real foundation, as that would not increase the demand, .but would certainly aug ment the privations of the operatives, and lower the value of the stocks on hands. The warp tattings have not by any means increased in demand, us we see many ingenious and clever men walking about without employment. The once flourishing village of Stapleford is distressed indeed. The bobbin net branch is thought to be a little improved in some description of fancy nets ; still the lace-manu facturer has a decided preponderance over the machine y bene'oti a said owner. We stated last week that some machines were making 300 racks a week, alluding to a certain descrip tion of fancy machines, made upon an excellent construe lion, propelled by power, and working long hours, with e selected hands. This was taken up by souse of 1 manufacturers, to mean that all machines were makingcan includingouthnet 300 racks weekly, thus aiming to raise a sort of panic, a reduce the prices of net, when, in all prob makingi they 1 00 well knew that there were more machiLnkes • The average ttoSanmentott than there were making 300 racks per l for want of work product of lever machines can scarce to 150 racks a week, even when at work, The traverse warp hands numerous arc i stoppages o a p pag moste the machines, in this vicinity, stand principally i t was the most prosperous of liceston ; a few years since all the lace branches. w hether of gloves, plain hose, The silk hosiery trade, hose, is . 8 lamentable for alterations. s i situation, for fancy hose, or silk knotted still in even a worse o p , a k n .n t i a e. l n o o re trade gon i is to.so farlrtecaopvpeeraerds, that planting of a want of hands, and wonder state than last week. u rs during the late long stagnation have left the trade nwitmhbneo intention of returning.

From the direction in which the article came, he had rea son to believe it was ono of the cabmen that inflicted this wanton injury. No policemen were in view at the time, on either side of the way, nor for some time alter. Should this outrage be repeated, it is to be hoped that the offender will be detected and punished, it being a hard case that a man cannot go quietly along the public street without being thus disfigured, his clothes spoiled, and the business he is upon being unnecessarily d e l aye d and perhaps frustrated. • CAB ACCIDENT. —On Thursday evening, a fine youth, son of Mr. Hughes, of Earl-street, was crossing Ludgate-hill, his feet came in contact with a slippery part of the street, and, before Le could recover himself, a cab and horse passed over him, leaving him, in the opinion of all who witnessed the accident, dead. On being taken, however, to an apothecary's shop, it was ascertained that the injuries, although severe, wore not fata l. His face and head were much bruised, 'und blood flowed freely from his mouth and nose, Temporary mine. dies having been applied, the youth was removed to his father's residence.
