" Pray (said the first one). hat you rmarti at stake, And have yo 1 anything worth while to take ?" " Not much (replied the second), When every thing is reckoned : A half•a-dozen sovereigns. I suPly'se. Barely enough to hue a stilt of clothes." " Barely enough for what ?" exclaimed his friend, " You're out of reckoning thee, I must contend. A suit will never cost you that, Wherever do you r urchasc at? MOSES and SON Would sell yon ono For infinitely less; A suit that you'll pronounce to be, In point of style and quality, A most superior dress. Nay I would really lay a bet with you, That such a sum would almost buy you two, Six pounds, indeed, what next? The very me-tion mikes me feel quite vest." " Nay (said the other), don't let me Disturb your tranquil feelings. I was not cognizant, you see. Of MOSES' moderate dealings. I've dealt for years and years with one good man, Bu , positively. now, I'll change my plan. Six pounds—let's see—if what you say is true, MOSES for that would furnish me right through; Yes, MOSES would supply for that A pair of Wellingtons—a suit, and bat. Thanks for the hint, I'll not omit , to take it, I want a suit, and M. and SON shall make It." LIST OF PRICES.. 11111.13 T WILDS.

This action was brought to recovr a penalty of 201., to which the defendant had rniered himself liable by practising as an apathecar without the requisite legal qualification. The face of the case were perfectly clear, and the defendat wisely sub mitted to a judgment for the pealty and costs, throwing himself upon the mercy d the company, who with the leniency which always distinguishes their proceedings under the statute of the 55th Geo. 111. (a statute by which they have very extensive powers), have consented to give the derendant time to pay the costs, and tr) let the judgment for 201. stand as a security against any future offette by the de fendant, he having sta , ed his intentio: of duly quali fying himself and becoming a licentiat of the society. Mr. Eyre, of Devereux court, Temp t ,, appeared on behalf of the llon. Society of Apotlwaries ; and the defendant, whose only object was tomake the above terms, appeared in person. It winbe remembered that this application of the powers of the County Courts to the recovery of penalties under this Act, was suggested and carried into effec by the Medical . Protection Society, No. 43, Lincln's Inn-fields ; since the establishment of which sooty, and owing to the co-operation of the Apothearies' Company with them, the regular practitionersaave received an amount of protection which they lave never before obtained. This case excited a grea deal of interest and the court was crowded with medial practitioners, qualified and unqualified, who seemel somewhat dis appointed the cause did not come fully before the Court.

Sanitary Committee, was charged under the 11th and 12th Vict., cap. 123, sec. 16, with violating the direc tions of the Board of Health, issued in April last. Mr. Bodkin, the barrister, who appeared on behalf of the parish authorities of Whitechapel, accompanied by Mr. Smith, solicitor to the parish, by whom the proceedings had been instituted, said, though the case might appear trifling, it was of the utmost importance, more especially whilst the present epidemic prevai'ecl, that the modes directed by the Board of Health for abating all dangerous and offensive nuisances should be adopted. When those rules were violated, and more especially when they were violated by a person holding such authority in his parish as the defendant, it was necessary that an example should be made The defendant was the owner of some houses in Rose court, Aldgate, in which four privies emptied them selves into one cesspool, and by the negli gence of the defendant they were allowed to become a most formidable nuisance. He received notice of this from the proper officer, and one man in the neighbourhood complained to him of the injurious effect it had upon his wife's health, but the defendant seemed to think that the law did not apply to him, and when told that the board of guardians would see to it, he courteously replied that they might be —. The nuisance had been abated by the parish, at an expense of 31., but the present proceedings were for the penalty—not exceeding 61, —imposed by the 16th section of the Act. Instead of doing his duty by the public in abating a dan gerous nuisance, the defendant • chose rather to expend his money in retaining a lawyer to meet this charge. Mi. John Parr, inspector of nuisances to White chapel parish, deposed to the filthy state of the privies, the soil from which overflowed into the court. An inquest was held on a person who died of cholera, arising, as was believed, from the nuisance a few days previously. Mr. Pelham, after vainly attempting to throw a doubt on the defendant's proprietorship, said their was no use in troubling the court any further. He would be the last to justify anything injurious to the public health at a period like the present; and with respect to the 3/. paid by the parish, his client had not been sued for it. He would have to pay for the abatement, and it was to be hoped that the parish would not press for the penalty. Mr: Ingham suggested an adjournment of the summons, to allow an arrangement. Mr. Bodkin wished for an adjudication for the purpose of an example, even though the penalty were only one shilling. The defendant was ultimately fined 61s. and costs, with an understanding that the fine should go to the parish rates, for which the cost of abating the nui sance was paid. £5OOO 5000 5000 5000 5000 5000 5000 The Pri only one sarance is Every Director, 13 years 10 mths 12 years 10 years A years 6 years 4 years 2 years £653 6 8 500 0 0 300 0 0 100 0 0 £787 10 0 £6470 16 8 787 10 0 6287 10 0 787 10 0 6087 10 0 787 10 0 5887 10 0 675 0 0 5675 0 0 450 0 0 • 5150 0 0 225 0 0 5225 0 0 •emlums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and half need be paid for the first five years where the In s for Life. information will be afforded on application to the Resident No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall.

Woacanza.—The following letter, on the subject of setting apart a day for general prayer and humi liation on account of the present visitation, has just been addressed by the Lord Bishop of this diocese to the Very Rev. Dr. Peel, the Dean : " Hartlebury Castle, Sept. 17. " My dear Mr. Dean,—Although the city of Worces ter has been mercifully spared the visitation under which other places have been suffering with so much severity, such an exemption from the prevailing calamity seems to afford no reason why the inhabitants should not be called upon to humble themselves in prayer before Him who only can stay the pestilence, and while they offer up their supplications in behalf of their suffering brethren, pray for the continuance of the Divine mercy towards them selves. I beg leave, therefore, to propose through you to the chapter of the cathedral, as well as to the clergy of the city, that Friday, the 28th •instant, should be observed as a day of prayer and humiliation, when all the inhabitants may have the opportunity of thanking God for his past mercies, and of praying to him that he would continue not to deal with them according to their sins, neither to reward them according to their iniquities. . 4 . The rubric directs that the Commination service should be read on the first day of Lent, and at such other times as the ordinary shall appoint. A more appropriate occasion for its use could not occur ; and I beg, therefore, to exercise the discretion thus reposed in me by directing that it should bo used on the above named day. "I am, my dear Mr. Dean, yours very faithfully, " H. WORCESTIR. " The Very Rev. the Dean of Worcester. _ _ _ " P.5.,-Although the above is only specially addressed to the Dean and Chapter and clergy of Worcester, I wish it to be considered as afbrding a full sanction to any clergyman in the diocese who may think proper to open his church and observe the 28th as a day of prayer and humiliation."— Worcester Chronicle. COVENTRY, WEDNESDAY.---This day was appointed by the Bishop and clergy as a day of fasting, humilia tion, and prayer. All wordly business has been sus• pended by the various shopkeepers, and the churches have been more numerously attended than on Sundays. Ipswlcu t SEPT. 18.—The clergy and dissenting ministers of this town have set apart the afternoon of Thursday next for humiliation and prayer, and have invited their congregations to assemble with them in order to implore the Great Disposer of events to stay th , course of that mysterious agency which is desolat ing the land. A requisition having been addressed to the Mayor, he has ordered a general closing of the shops during the hal f• day.—Bury Post. Lady Howard de Walden with her family and attendants arrived in town yesterday by the Antwerpen steamer, Captain Jackson. His Excellency remains at Brunie. L.4MBETtI. On the arrival of Mr. Elliott, the magistrate, at this Court yesterday morning, it was announced to him that a murder had been attempted the previous night upon the person of a young woman named Sarah Frances Ewins, who was now lying in a pre carious state in Guy's Hospital. Thither the magi strate, attended by Mr. Perry, the chief clerk, pro ceeded, for the purpose of taking her depositions. 'The house-surgeon, however, informed Mr. Elliott that the young woman was not in imminent danger, and that the excitement consequent upon such a procedure would be highly prejudicial to the patient, and as quietude was essential, he desired that the proceeding should be postponed for a few days, unless more alarming symptoms should exhibit themselves, of which the magistrate should have the earliest no tice. Accordingly Mr. Elliott returned to this court, when the examination of the individual charged with the perpetration of the outrage was proceeded with. • The prisoner, who on being apprehended had stated his name to be Stephen Alfred Jordan, but whose real name was ascertained to be Dowland, is a young man apparently not more than eighteen or nineteen years of age. When placed in the dock he exhibited the most careless indifference, which he maintained throughout the whole of the brief inquiry. The circumstances of the cue are disclosed by the follow: ing evidence : William Hunt was the first witness called, and he deposed that he was a butcher, residing on Dulwich common, and that about ten minutes or a quarter to ten o'clock the previous night he heard his dog bark violently, and went out to the rear of his premises to ascertain the cause. On reaching the back door he saw a person standing there, but at the time he could riot distinguish whether it was a male or female.— gibsequently it turned out to be the unfortunate fe male now in Guy's Hospital. The witness desired her to go round to the front door, which was opened by his (the witness's) Wife, and then he saw the fe- male in question, and that her hands, face, and clothes, were all covered with blood. She held up part of her clothes to a gash in the throat. Some friends who were at the house of the witness thought the female was oely practising some trick, and she went away. The witness, however, was not satisfied, and, in consequence, he followed, and overtook her near the tollgate, where he procured a light, and again looked at her, and saw that her throat had been cut. The witness asked her who it was that had done that ? She replied, her husband. Witness asked if her throat was cut, and she nodded in reply, indicating that it was so. She added that it had been done with a dagger. The witness proceeded with her some dis tance along the road, and not meeting a policeman on the way, he at last took her to the bowie of Mr. Ray, the surgeon, at Dulwich, who immediately at tended to her wounds, and afterwards directed her to be conveyed to Guy's Hospital. William Pritchard, sergeant of the Y division, de posed that about one o'clock that morning the female now in the hospital was brought to the station-house in a cab by Mr. Ray, the surgeon, and a police constable. Mr. Ray stated that the female bad in formed him that her throat had been cut in Dulwich wood by a man, who had also knocked her about the head with the butt-end of a pistol. The woman's hands were cut in several places. From other in formation which the witness then received, he pro ceeded to the house of a person named Courtney, No. 3, St. Andrew's-road, Brixton, where he found the prisoner in bed. On seeing the witness the prisoner said, "It's all right. I know what you are come for." Witness asked him if he had been at Dulwich in the course d . the previous evening. The prisoner answered in the affirmative, and was desired by •the witness to get tip. and dress himselr. , He did so, and was told by the witness tint he was charged with cutting the throat of a female in Dulwich wood. The pri , oner said, " I know all about it ; do not say any more." There were some on the floor of the bed-room, which the witness examined. In the breast-pocket of the prisoner's coat he found a pistol loaded with ball, and with the stock broken; and in his presence police constable Pratt found in the pocket of the prisoner's waistcoat about a dozen bullets and a small quantity of percussion caps, now with the pistol produced. On examining the prisoner's shirt, the witness found on the front, the collar, and the wristbands, several marks of blood, and this morning, on inspecting the prisoner's hands, he discovered the marks of blood under the finger-nails; there were also the marks of blood on the front and on the sleeve of his coat. Witness brought the prisoner to the station-house, and the re charged him with cutting the throat of Sarah Frances Ewing, in Dulwich-wood. The female was conveyed, as already stated, to Guy's Hospital, whence the witness had brought the subjoined certificate : " I hereby certify that Sarah Frances Ewini is unaMe to attend at the police court, and lies in a dangerous state from the injuries she has received—a cut throat and wounds about the head. (S . gned) " CHARLES SANDERS. " Assistant to Mr. B. B. Cooper. " Guy's Hospital, Sept. 20, 1849." In answer to a question from the magistrate, Prit chard stated that he had not yet been able to ascertain whether or not the prisoner was married to the injured woman. John Wood, police-constable P 131, deposed that, accompanied by another constable, he went to Dul wich-wood, and there found the several articles now proiuced--a bonnet, a fur victorine, two white pocket handkerchiefs, a silk necktie, a black shawl, all completely saturated with blood. Witness also found a bottle of blue ink and the handle of a razor, the blade of which (stained with blood) was found by Jefferies among some dry leaves a short distance from the footpath. _ _ The prisoner, after being cautioned by the magis trate, said he did not wish to say anything at present in answer to the charge. The prisoner was remanded until Tuesday next, and left the bar with the most perfect self-possession. SOUTHWARK. James Tapper, a respectable-looking man, residing in Long walk, Bermondsey, was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged with stabbing his wife, Sarah, in the breast, from the effects of which she lies in a danger ous condition. Henry Chater said that on the previous night, about ten o'clock, his attention was called on hearing a loud scream proceed from the prisoner's house in Long-walk, Bermondsey. lie hastened there, and on entering the front parlour he saw a female lying on the floor, with her hand to her breast, and she said that she had been stabbed by her husband, and begged him (witness) to take her into the next house, occupied by ,a neighbour whom she knew. The prisoner at that time was standing in the room, and on hearing his wife complain of being stabbed, he ejaculated that he was sorry he had not killed her. Witness, upon finding the wounded woman express such anxiety to quit the house, assisted her off the floor in his arms, and carried her into the next house, where she became faint from loss of blood, and when a surgeon was sent for he pronounced that she had received a dangerous wound in the breast. A policeman stated that while on duty the preced ing night he was informed that a woman had been ' stabbed by her husband, and on proceeding to the house next to that in which the prisoner lived, he found his wife there bleeding from a wound in the breast. He (the policeman) was then told that the man who had inflicted the injury had shut himself up in his house, and that he refused to admit any person. He (the policeman) instantly went there, and was proceeding to force open the door, when the prisoner made his appearance, and opening it ; said " There is no occasion fur using any violence. I freely give myself up. I did the deed, and am only sorry I did not kill her." The witness then handed in a medical certificate as to the condition of the prisoner's wife : " I hereby certify that Mrs. Tapper has been wounded in the right breast with a sharp instrument. She is now suffering from bruises and other injuries, the ex• tent of which cannot at present be ascertained. (Signed) " W. TURNER, Surgeon." The p )liceman produced a table knife with marks of blood on the point of it, which he said he found in the room where the woman was wounded. Mr. SECKER asked the prisoner whether he was desirous of saying anything in answer to the very serious charge alleged against him, and that perhaps at present it would be better that he remained silent. as he intended to remand him until the fate of his wife was known. The prisoner said that at present he should decline making any answer to the charge, and he was re. mended until Tuesday next. THAMES. Mr. Thomas Bai•rett, one of the churchwardens of St. George's-in-the• East, chairman of the board ot guardiaw of that parisb, tlza tilAinntiu of the POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. James Wentworth was brought b-fore the Lord Mayor charged under the following cireur..stanees. Witcher, A 27, detective metropolitan police, said that a few days ago he was ses for by the Secretary to the Trade Protection Society, who gave him such information as induced him to gc to a house in Saville row, Regent-street, in the cells of which he found and apprehended the prisoner. Mr. Richard Beck, a memler of the Society of Friends, residing at 6, Colernin street, in the City, said, on the sth instant the prisoner called at my house and gave me the card of Mr. Reynolds, whom I knew to here been a custoner of my partner Mr. Smith, and who, he said, recmamended him to me. He gave me an order for goals (surveying instru merits) to the amount of 100 i, and from what Mr. Reynolds said of him I was sttiafied with executing part of the order, but he objected to receive a portion of the goods, and I delivered the rest to him. We would not have delivered the instruments if it were not for Mr. Reynold's statemeit. Mr. H. Reynolds, of No. 15, Cambridge-terrace, Hyde Park, and 42, Moorgate street, surgeon, said about the 7th or Bth of August the prisoner called upon him for the purpose of faking a house of him, No. 31A, Saville-row, Regent -street. He told me he was an engineer, and the son of Godfrey Wentworth, Esq., of Woolley-park, Wakefield, a banker, well known to every one in the eity of London, and if inquiry were made in the City I should find that such was the case ; that he was a relation of Earl Fitzwil Ham, and cousin to Lady Augusta Wentworth, my neighbour, of No. 11, Connaught-place, Regent's. park ; that he was an engineer to the Indian Railway, and had just returned from Alexandria, where he had been for the last two years assisting in making the survey, but it had been lost in the transmission from Alexandria by the Post-062, authorities, and hi. was at that time in communication with Colonel Maberly on the subject; that he was also an engineer to the Northern Counties Coal Company, which had recently been established in Agar street, Strand ; that the house in Agar street was under repair, and that a Mr. George Ray, an extensive coal proprietor in Sunderland, was managing director, and Mr. %Vormold, a banker at Wakefield, was one of the leading men, in fact the man of money, in the association. The prisoner also said that he had been to Sunderland, and had made surveys of the mines of coal belonging to Mr. Ray and the company. I made some inquiries in the City, and the result was that I believed his statement to be correct, in consequence of which I let him may house in Saville row. I subsequently gate Mr. Beck information upon the subject. Mr. Beck—l heard from Mr. Reynolds that the IIUG permission to use his card, but from Mr. neynolda et.t.l x satisfied to execute the order. I had not had deal ings with Mr. Reynolds myself, neither had I seen Mr. Reynolds at all. The - prisoner was remanded till Monday, when it is expected he will have the opportunity of seeing other persons to whom he h:s been a customer. A Jew boy, named Jo - s - e;;l7l3enclon, was brought up in the custody of Robinson IVebb, upon the charge of having been concerned with another boy, named Emanuel Jacobs, in a robbery. The shop of Mr. Abrahams, of Houndsditch, had been rubbed some days ago of a large quantity of spoons, and Emanuel Jacobs and the present prisoner, who are known to the police as very ingenious thieves, were seen by Webb and Noon, under sus picious circumstances, in the neighbourhood of Pet • ticoat-lane. Jacobs was apprehended, and a number of the stolen spoons, which were identified by Mr. Abrahams, having been found i❑ his possession, he wi , s committed to prison. The present prisoner, who was represented as the regular nurse and educator of infant thieves, contrived to get away upon the occa sion, but was apprehended by Webb on Wednesday night. Webb said the prisoner, Moses Bendon, has been remarkable for a considerable time fur carrying before him, suspended from his neck, a basket containing hard eggs or oranges, and he manages to engage his hands with the pockets of gentlemen while he pretends to be honestly employed. He is generally accom panied by one or two boys of very diminutive size, and he is in the habit of going into shops under pre tence of selling, and if nobody happens to be in the way his little company are sure to carry off all they can. If there happen to be a shopman behind the counter then Bendon's excuse is that he wants to sell, or he wants a situation. Some time ago I saw him, with his basket before him, pick a gentleman's pocket, but as the gentleman would not appear against him the sentence was but slight. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, prisoner, this is a very bad account I hear of you. The Prisoner—Yes, your Lordship, but I did not steal the spoons. It was the other boy, and I happened to be passing as he came along, and they grabbed me. The LORD MAYOR—How old are you ? The Pri soner—Somewhere about 13 years old, I think' Webb—The moment he is at liberty he'll have a crowd of children to go to and bring up to thieving. It is impossible to conceive what mischief he does. There was a crowd of thieves waiting for his comrade Jacobs, who was committed the other day; and some time ago, when I had this boy in custody, his brother and sister attempted to rescue him. The LORD MAYOR said the case was a very shocking one, and some inquiries must be made about such a system as that described.—Committed. GUILDHALL. James Bissell, a private in the Scotch Fusilier Guards, at present stationed in the Tower, was placed at the bar before Alderman Farebrother, on a charge of being drunk and indecently assaulting a young man named Burrows, in the Owen Glyndwr public house, Bartholomew-close. David Jones, son of the landlord of the public house, and other witnesses, were examined, and fully established the soldier's innocence of the gross charge that had been preferred against him, and that all the prosecutor had stated was false. The prosecutor cross-examined them, but received flat contradictions to every question he put, and at last he asserted that none of them were telling the truth, for they were not present. Alderman FAREBROTIIER said he should discharge the prisoner, and give him a certificate to his com manding officer of the utter groundlessness of the charge, and to explain why he was away from the barracks. The prosecutor himself ought to be indicted for perjury. Two young men, the one wearing moustachioes, and the other spectacles, who gave their names as William Charles Hitehin, of Tavistock-row, Covent garden, and Benjamin Henry Mayes, of 23, King street, Covent-garden, were chargA with obtaining a quantity of papier-mache trays, value 261.103., under false pretences, from Mr. Oliver Dobbins, of Stafford street, Wolverhampton, and 20, King-street, Smith japan and tin-plate worker. George Trew, 26, deposed to taking the prisoners into custody, and finding on Ilitehin two memo randum-books, two knives, and 3d. There was no entry of the present purchase. There was also several letters. On Mayes he found an invoice for plate glass to the amount of 171. 17s. 7d. On making inquiry at the Savoy-wharf, Savoy-street, it appeared that the order had been executed, but the prisoner was not to be found since. There was another sitnilar invoice of Mr. Gluag's, of Blacktnore•street, Drury-lane, to the amount of 71., which had not been paid. He might also add, that on the way to the station he detecred Mayes in the act of tearing some papers, from which it appears he was starting a lean .office in Wellington, street, Stithid, etting people to paint and fit up the ,7 CLERKENIVELL. %%Telly Clare was finally examined, charged with stealing 25 yards of flannel from the shop of Mrs. Brown, linen-draper, of High-street, Islington. The prisoner, it appeared, had formerly lived with the prosecutrix's husband for many years, when he deserted her. He recently died, and the prisoner called to ask if he bad left her any property. Being answered in the negative, she took the flannel and walked off with it. She was pursued, and given into the custody of Dunbar, the officer. The prisoner did not deny taking the property, but not with a felonious intention. She was fully committed for trial. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 19.—The East Indiaman Bangalore entered the Sound on Monday, with her mizen topmast struck, and its standing rigging snaked down on the rigging of the lower mast. Having learned that Ehe had experienced heavy weather, and had been self-supplied with an excellent temporary rudder, we boarded and examined her yesterday, and were kindly permitted to look over her log. The Bangalore registers 876 tons, belonging to Messrs. Phillips, Shaw, and Lowther, of London, and is commanded by Captain J. A. Martyn. Laving a full cargo, the dead weight of which ap proached 1,100 tons, consisting of gambia, hides, gutta percha, pepper, spices, sago, antimony, cocoa nut oil, sperm oil, &c., she sailed from Singapore on the 4th of April last, called at St. Helena on the Ist, and left there on the 3d of July. By the 20 h of August, the officers had got the rigging in good trim, and the hull and spars painted throughout, intending, with a proper pride, to enter the docks with a creditable 'appearance. On the 4th of September, however, when in lat. 50 2 North, long. 10 3 West, they wars. arc a Callen by a ksmic, vas jitig hunt ,t/La Cis s south-east, which split their jib, and carried away their mainsail, separated the main stalk of the rudder from the fan part, and did other damage to the ship. As soon as possible the rudder was secured by a yoke and hawsers, but on the 7th of September they experienced another gale, by which the fan part of the rudder was carried away, taking the false stern post with it. On the Bth they cut away the taffrail, and fixed over the stern a steer-oar, made of a mainyard, with studdingsail booms for a fan, and having a crossbeam for a lever, they worked the oar with chain guys and teakles. Finding this not to answer, they on the 10th set about making a rudder more like the original one, and for this purpose they ransacked the ship and her rigging for every available material. Her carpenter, Mr. Sullivan, took about thirty feet of the foreyard for a mainpiece, and a portion of the remainder, with a toplailyard cut in two for a fan; these were lashed together with a copper wire reap, the lightning conductor, &c., and secured with chains and strong iron bolts. All this was done while the unmanage able ship was experiencing the shocks of a short sea, which made her tremble all over, and the wash was so great that they were compelled to trice up the ports, to give the water free passage across her waist. Frequent showers of cold rain were falling, and five or six of her crew were disabled by scurvy. Captain Martyn was, however; ably supported by his officers, Messrs. Smith and Harvie, and the rest of the crew. The rudder being thus far completed, a clamp, some thing in the shape of a ship's trestle-trees, was formed to receive it. The clamp was made of a spare anchor stock, and one of the orlop deck beams; it had two jaws to receive the ship's stern-post, and was fastened to the rudder, so as to be seven feet from its heel, which was intended to be two feet from the lower part of the ship's keel. The topsail sheet chains were unroved and fixed to the clamp, on either side, for use as guys. The next difficulty was to get the rudder under water, and for this purpose they attached to it an anchor weighing half a ton, 'but the rudder being made of fir, proved too buoyant for the anchor, which was taken off and replaced by two guns weighing from seven to eight cwt. each, and fastened with slip ropes. By this means the rudder was at length sunk to its place, and the chain-guys fr . = the clamp having been brought on either side to the gangway ports, teakles were fastened from them to ring-bolts in the deck, and the whole hove taught by the capstan. The rudder being all right, the slip ropes were cut adrift and the guns hove on board with strong tackle fixed to the head of the mainmast. The after accommodations having been cut away, and the rudder case reduced, the tiller now works on the maindeck by ropes wbich run through the poopd-ck up to the wheel. All this while the unfortunate Alp had been gradually driftingypon a lee shore, and on the 14th September, with the. wind from the N.W. to N., right on the land, Ushant light bore S.E. by S., distant only fourteen miles. The skill and energy of British seamen had, however, under favour of a kind Providence prevailed; with her new rudder the Ban galore was once more under control, and by it she at length reached this harbour in safety. It is to be hoped that this act of seamanship, by which a valuable ship and costly cargo have been saved, will not go unrewarded.

The Inflexible steam -8100 P, Commander Hoseason, sailed from Spithead this afternoon, for Sheerness, to be paid off. Tan NAVAL BRIGADE.—The Clarence-yard Bat talion (artillery) have completed their drills for the season. As a specimen of their proficiency in the art of warfare since their inauguration we may merely 'tate that on the 16th inst. the two field-batteries of four guns each (6-pounders) proceeded to Stoke's. bay for target practice. Out of forty rounds fired by each battery, No. 1 battery struck the target sixteen times, and No. 2 twenty-one times, the range in each case being 600 yards. The Castor, 36, Commodore Wyvill, arrived at Ascension on the 2d ult. from Plymouth, and sailed on the 4th for the Cape of Good Hope. Wind—N.E. ; fresh breezes, and cloudy weather. liTooLwicu, SEPT. 20.—The Jasper steam-vessel, Captain Beechey, arrived yesterday evening at this port from the Bristol Channel, where she was employed on the surveying service. The vessel was found to have too great a draught of water for a portion of the coast, especially near Gloucester. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. The subjoined is a corroboration of the intelligence which w•e published yesterday. The Milan Gazette of the 14th says— "On the 2d the Lord High Commissioner at Corfu was informed that his measures had proved insufficient to intimidate the malcontents, and that the troops he had sent there were not sufficient to attempt a vigorous attack upon the insurgents. The Governor then pro ceeded himself to Cephalonia, taking fresh troops with him, and ordering more from Zoete. On the sth the Malta steam-packet arrived at Corfu, having touched at Cephalonia, and brought intelligence that the insurrec tion had not been quelled, that the Governer had had a man killed by his side, that the courts-martial were in p e rmanence, and that four insurgents had been hanged and three shot. Four executions more were expected to take pace on the next day. Part of the British squadron at Mitts was on its way to Cephalonia. The Government of the I ,nian Islands has authorised the landing of MM. Manin, T, , mmaseo, and other politi cal refugees from Venio3, who had arrived on board the French steamer Pluton, but they have been subjected to a twelve days' quarantine, on account of the cholera. It appears that Manin and Tommaseo will proceed to Lon don; Pepe, on the contrary, will warn to Paris. The others will go either to Constantinople, Alexandria. or Greece. They all appear to be sufficiently provided with pecuniary means." CRICKET. ELEYEN OF ENGLAND v. EIGHTEEN OF LEEDS ♦ND DISTRICT.
