Tie Exhibition of Manufactured Art, now open in Birmingham, will be treated at considerable length in the OCTOBER Number of the AR r-JOURNAL. It will be Illustrated by upwards of One Hundred and Fifty En gravings on Wood, c mprising, a large majority of the leading works contained in the Exposition—in silver, electro-silver, bronze, brass (cast and pressed), iron, porcelain, earthenware, and-ideas; of ob jects in papier-mache; of japanned goods ; earrings in wood ; and the several productions in metal which constitute the main staple of British industry, ant; render Birmingham the great capital of British manufactures. These will evidence an astonishing advance in Art within the last few years ; and sufficiently prove the pow(' of the English manufac turer to compete with the best fabricants of France. The exhibition at Birmingham cannot fail to have great influence on the future course of Manufactured Art he England —exteading its repute and augmenting its mercantile value. The Editor of the Art-Journal has, therefore, considered it his duty to make arrangements for reporting this Exposition on a scale some what commensurate with the magnitude and liberality of the enter prise. The October Number of the Art-Journal will also contain three engravings on steel—" Malvollo," engraved by Staines, from the painting by MacliFe, RA..; " I he Truant " engra. ed by Phillibrown, from the painting by Webster, P.. A.—both in the " Vernon Gallery ;" and of " Sabrina," engraved by Artlett, from the statue, by Mar shall, A.U. t. The Art-Journal of the past eight manths contains, besides several hundred engravings on wood, no fewer than twenty-five engravings on steel ; each of which may be regarded as a fine and beautifal spe cimen of Art : they cons st chiefly of line engravings from the best pictures of the best British artists, contained in the Vernon Gallery— the eodection presented by the late Robert Vernon, Esq., to the Bri tish people. To the amateur, the conno'sseur, the artist, and the public gene rally-, this work cannot fail to be an acquisition of considerable value; the purest and best Art is thus circulated at the smallest possible cost to the purchaser : " Mr. Vernon's magniacent gift is thus made doubly the property of the people. To the humblest classes through out the whole kingdom it becomes in soma degree accessible, and a Source of enjoyment and instruction." The Art-Journal may be ordered of any bookseller in town or c.untry. Publisher: George Virtue, 25, Paternoster-rov. IMPORTANT TO HOTEL KEEPERS.

That public has as yet but a faint notion of the savage barbarity of the late Commander of the Childers. The articles I have read are full of sound judgment and honourable feeling. Would to God they may find their way to the hearts of t those who have the power to redress the wron g d on . o one who was a better seamen and far better officer t han Captain Pitman ever was. I have received a letter from my son this morning; he is incar cerated in the prison at Exeter as a felon. Will the justice-loving people of England quietly submit to this ? No! I believe that through that powerful and independent organ, the Press, their opinion will be so loudly expressed that justice must be done. My son tells me he cannot live under hie present degradation. You will scarcely believe that the tearful ex-parte accusations, emanating from a vi•alictive mini, are all either gross fabri• cations or trifles so exaggerated and magnified as to be scarcely recognised. .1 will trouble you with two instances—he charges him with robbing the mess in the Belvidere, and intimates that he was turned out of that ship. I happened to have preserved a letter from Dr. Maconeby, then in the Hecate, a great friend of my son's, who went on board the Belvidere to see him. His letter is dated Malta, February 8, 1842. He says he found my son had been foolishly pre vailed upon to accept the office of caterer of the youngsters' mess, all boys ; that having no notion of the value of money, he had fed them too well and run the mess in debt 151.; that the youngsters, finding they must fare less sutnptuously, were furious, and the matter was referred to the Hon. Captain Grey. Mr. Maconahy paid the 151., and Captain Grey, who knew, as every officer he has served under, what he was worth, wished to have him remain, but he felt too uncomfortable, and his Captain (after consulting with Commander Knox, who went from the flag-ship ex pressly for the purpose), gave him a certificate of good conduct and a regular discharge. This—a very common occurrence in a youngster's berth—is called robbing the mess ; but the man who could say the boy Claverton called to express his gratitude for his Commander's numerous kindnesses, and that he had present a witness to prove this youth's gratitude, and never produced him, is so utterly unworthy of belief, that it were almost a useless work to convict him of falsehood ; but I will give you one more specimen. He has ac cused Lieutenant Graham of drinking to such excess as to have been suffering under delirium tremens. Now, I might rest this matter upon the fact, that so far from there being any proof of this, there is at least implied proof to the contrary—in such a state, from which few men recover, he must have been, even in defiance of Pitmaniac cruelty, under medical discipline. Was any such entry on the log? Did any medical officer attest the truth ? Though Mr. Newman Braham could not recollect any act of cruelty in the commander, yet he must have recol lected such a case. But, Sir, I will let you into the secret of this so-called delirium tremens by relating a little scene which took place at Plymouth, related to me by one of the parties, a gentleman of great re spectability, whose name I furnish you with, in case of need. The gentleman was about a week be fore the first court martial walking up Union street, when a young man, having all the appearance of a naval officer, came out of a shop and said, " Your name, sir, I believe is B—;" on receiving an affirmative answer, he said, I have just come home in the Childers, and have a message to you from young Chevallier. He was then asked by Mr. B. " Do you know anything about this unpleasant affair of Lieutenant Graham ?" He replied, " I know all about it, but would rather say nothing, as it may be a matter of public inquiry, and I may be called upon." Mr. 8., however, pressed him, arid- at last he said, "I will tell you thus much—l have seen Lieutenant Graham undergo persecutions and cruelties in the Childers which no British officer could or ought to undergo; I have also seen him, under these cruelties, so affected in mind, that he has gone about the ship, with tears in his eyes, asking for mourning, saying his father, his only friend, was dead." This, Sir, is the delirium tremens the monster speaks of. Had all the %s itnesses for the defence been examined, this and much more would have been br( u4ht out. Why were they not examined? Simply because they would have damnified his cause. I beg pardon for taking up so much of your valu able time, and remain, Sir, your obedient servant, H. E. GRAHAM. Ludgoan Rectory, 11Isnarion, Cornwall, Sept. IS, 1849. BALLOON ASCENTS IN PRUSSIA. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Our scientific countlyman, llet•ry Coxwell, has lately made three ascents, which are sp , .ken of by the 13.•Illn papers in the highest terms. 0:1 the 2d and 6 h of September he ascended from Stettin, and as it was the first time an aeronaut ever rose over this seaport, consi derable interest attended the exhibition. From the proximity of Stettin to the east sea, the aerial voyago was considered by the inhabitants to be exceedingly dangerom; and the case of Mr. Green, who lately lost his life in the Severn, was cited to show that this appre hension was not altogether groundless. The bold son of Albion, however, saw no fear, and safely piloted his balloon over the Damtnsischeste, vouch to the astonish ment of the spectators, many of whom declared that an Englishman could do anything and t v,rything. On Sunday, the 9th of September, Mr. Coxwell as. cended again, from Berlin, taking up with him three fellow-voyagers. Descending about three miles from Berlin, one passenger was safely landed, and the rest made a second trip, which lasted about an hour and a half. - A German paper, in commenting upon Mr. Coxwell's enterprises, says:—" This intrepid Englishman appears to have his gigantic balloon so much under command, as to be able to perform feats which a e never heard of other aeronauts attempting. At one time he descends several miles from the place of ascent, and instead of allowing the gas to escape, he brings his balloon back by night and is ready to start again the following morn ing. On other occasions he lands passengers as easily as a ship captain or coachman would end then continues his voyage. But what is most surprising. he bombards towns, discharges fireworks, and performs divers ex ploits which aro amusing, and which keep up the in terest of a balloon ascent. Truly this is the Napoleon of aerostation." DIARY AND CORRESPONDENCE OF SLMCEL PEPTS. With a Life and Notes by Lord Braybrooke. Five Vols.—The fifth and concluding volume of this new and very much enlarged edition of the singularly interesting Memoirs and Correspondence of the Secretary to the Admiralty in the reigns of Charles 11. and James IL, has just issued from the press. It will be superfluous at this time of day to say a word in commendation of the legacy bestowed upon the world by th e incomparable Pepys. This Diary is unique—there is nothing like it. It gives the most clear, unvarnished, satisfactory view of public and private morals (luring the closing years of the Commonwealth and the first years of the Restoration that it is possible to obtain. Had a person actually lived in those times he would hardly have known so much of what was passing in society around him as be gathers from this exquisite gossip. Then the secrets of public affairs, the personal intrigues, the profligacies of the Court, the corruption of the town, the mad revel ries, the looseness of public and private morality— all is exposed without malice, without exaggeration, with a naiveté tie most delightful. The correspondence is full of valuable information, and embraces letters written by some of the inost temarkable personages of his time, from the King downwards. It elucidates many debateable points in the history, the biography, the literature, and the general manners of the period. Lord Braybrooke'a notes number fifteen hundred, proving that his editorial duties have been well fulfilled. A copious and well-prepared general index much en hances the value of this edition. Bye aid of it any of the multifarious subjects touched by Pepys or his cor respondents ire found at once.—Morteing Post. THE bAIITHFIELD MARKET NUISANCE.—The ad vocataa of the removal of nuisances from the heart of the metropolis will be glad to hear, that the R.gt , frar- General, at Somerset-house, and the Commissioners of Sewers in the City, have almost simultaneously declared that no more slaughtering shall take place in London. The consequence of this must be that the last excuse for the extension of Smitbtield will be swept away. Every one knows that the supporters of Sad thfield market have urged t hat the slaughter-houses in its im mediate n e ighbourhood f p th re e ve a n r t iim th a e ls n t e h c r e o s u s g it h y t o h f e d p r u iv b i l n ie g the stre ets from the market. The decision of the Sewer s great majority Commission and the Registrar-General, both being of great sanitary importance, (and clearly indicative of the intentions of the Government), must therefore cause the danger to the . public to be greatly increased, by t h e cat tle being driven away to be slaughtered in distant places the m upon,ark market —unless what may now b e fairly expected—the decided d— be at once removed. This, we believe, i and by the middle of next week w e expect to b e i n possession of authentic intorma,ion upon the h . 61.1 je•ct. We have heard it is the laudable intention of the ton Cattle Market Company (and one which ought to la commend it to the support of th e p u bli c ) t o e r ec t spacious " abattoirs" on tin it estates, to give accommo oatiou to the butchers f o r th e s l aug ht er i ng a nd prepara tion of their meat, on most advantageous terms. The abattoirs will nut allow of any particle of the offal or blood to esc a pe i n t o th e drains, thus avoiding one of the great incentives to miasma, producing cholera, and many other virulent diseases.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS or THIS DAY. TIMES.—The immunity from cholera enjoyed by residents in the immediate vicinity of certain City graveyards is one of the arguments most frequently advanced in defence of intramural sepulture by its interested advocates. " Look," say they, " at such churchyards as that of Spitalfields, with its pleasant grassy walks, its green waving trees, and the open space for ventilation, which it maintains amidst the densely peopled streeis and alleys adjacent; compare the healthiness of the neighbouring residents, whose windows look out upon its ancient sepulchres, its charnelhouse, and its newly opened graves, with the far greater mortality observable in certain districts remote from the exhalations of the dead, and then maintain, if you can, the pretended insalubrity of graveyard gas, or the alleged necessity of withdrawing from the citizens of London the privilege of burial within the precincts of their respective parishes." This reasoning, though plausible, and not without a foundation in some partial and exceptional facts, betrays an imperfect acquaintance on the part of those who adopt it with the habits of morbific miasmata and pestilential exhalations. A closer exainination of facts furnishes the means of its immediate refutation. It is perfectly well known, for example, that the effect of marsh poison is often more severely felt at some little distance from the place of its emission than on the generating swamp or marsh itself. Thus, the Essex marshes, north of the Thames, occasion aguish attacks on the opposite side of the river, especially during the prevalence of northerly winds. In the neighbourhood of Lewisham the poison brought from the river-side marshes by the westerly breezes has been known to afflict with ague the inhabitants of the hills above the town, while the lowland population has remained exempt. And, generally, those who inhabit a level marsh suffer less from its exhalations than those whose dwellings are situated between the marsh itself and some adjacent rising ground ; the local obstructions serving to retain and concentrate the watery vapours and the specific poison of which they are the vehicle. Just so, in a town, it is perfectly conceivable that vapours wafted from a crowded graveyard may in some cases tend to accumulate in distant courts and cul de sacs adapted for their retention, while less con fined localities, even though nearer to the source of poison, may escape with a less concentrated infection. Those, too, who overlook the City graveyards, are accustomed to close their windows when, as at St. Olave's the other day, " human heads in a green state, with the hair still attached, and other mangled human remains," are thrown up steaming in the sun; or when, as at St. Bride's, heaps of decaying bones, and half-disjointed skeletons, ragged with spade chopped flesh, are piled up to a level with the sur rounding casements ! But those who have not this ocular forewarning of the putrescent steam advancing towards them, are liable to get their ho us e s fill e d with its deadly infection unawares. A hot sun, moreover, may draw up to a level above that of the neighbouring houses a portion of these noxious vapours, which, like the similarly raised dew, may be again condensed by th© cool night air, and descend upon remote localities. The advocates of urban burial—with all its horrible adjuncts of skeleton-smashing, coffin-bursting, and the subterranean decapitation of the dead—must, therefore, look further for proofs of the salubrity of their trade than to the exceptional escape of some whose dwellings abut upon their hideous poison labo ratories. To those who, like the recalcitrant guardians of St. Saviour's (whose apolegetic letter we published in our Thursday's paper), defend their intratnural burial-grounds as being little used, and therefore little crowded, two obvious rejoinders apply. The first is, that for a practical benefit confessedly se small it is not worth while to continue burial customs which frequent and loathsome abuses have rendered obnoxious to the general sense of the com munity. The second is, that the putrescent emana tions from the dead being of the nature of a ferment, a very minute proportion may, under certain circum stances, produce zymotic disease—which, once en gendered, propagates itself as yeast in wort; and, so, like a little leaven, "leavens the whole mass." It is hardly, however, a little leaven that the poison distillers of St. Saviour'a confess to have prepared in their three parochial graveyards. Upon their own showing they have, during the last ten years, buried in less than 4,000 superficial yard; of ground an aggregate of nearly 3,000 corpses ; of which even the earliest interred can scarcely asset be thoroughly decomposed. How huge this bulk of putrefying flesh—how hideous in its several stages of decay— how saturate with its black sanies the surrounding soil—we spare to compute. Let the reader work out the ghastly problem for himself, and then decide whether this festering mass should, day by day, be disturbed by the sexton's mattock, and day by day gorged with fresh corpses ; or whether, as we ventured to contend, the order of the Board of Health for the clo sure of the yard should forthwith be made imperative. A more serious argument, in appearance if not in reality, is advanced by those who inveigh against the Board of Health for attacking a few only of the many metropolitan burial-ground owners, and leav ing the rest to the uninterrupted pursuit of their now, alas I too lucrative trade. The result, it is contended, will be, not to promote extramural in- 1 terinents, but merely to procure an undue accession of profitable business to the uninterdicted grounds. This may be partly true ; yet the course adopted by the Board of Health is on the one hand inevitable, and on the other justifiable and advantageous. It is inevitable, because by the terms of the Act under which they proceed certain evidence must be taken, and forms gone through, requiring too much time and labour to be susceptible of simultaneous adoption throughout the whole metropolis. It is justifiable, because the most obnoxious graveyards are closed first, and the rest will follow in their turn. It is ad vantageous, because its immediate effect is to divert interment from the more crowded to the less encum bered yards; while it will inevitably bring about, as its ulterior result, the total abolition of intramural sepulture. One other objection remains—the gravest of all, and by far the most difficult to meet. It is founded on the absence of any present provision for the extramural interment of the poor, without adding to funeral costs, already very burdensome, a further charge for funeral transit to suburban cemeteries more or less remote. This objection is, however, fairly encountered, and we think satisfactorily re futed, by the sanitary reformers. They show, in the first place, that any additional cost involved in the transport of corpses beyond the precincts of the me tropolis would be more than counterpoised in the saving which 'would result, as well to private as to parochial funds, from the abatement of fever and pestilence caused by the inhumation of the dead among the living. They add that, by a proper re organization of the undertaking system, at present conducted on very false and uneconomical principles, corpses could be transported to suburban cemeteries for a less charge than is now made for their convey ance to the nearest intramural burying-ground. And they particularly indicate the facilities which the railways afford for the establishment of cemeteries, ten or fifteen miles from town, with suitable receiving houses, to which the corpse could be conveyed by night, and where the mourners might assemble, at small cost, the next day, to attend the funeral service, and to pay the last tribute of respect to their departed friend. To these suggestions, which have our entire concurrence, we invite the attention of the great railway companies, who, by their suburban village experiments, and associative arrangements for the benefit of their workmen, have already done much to advance the great cause of social and sanitary reform, and to whom the present emergency presents a new occasion for the humane, and, because humane, therefore prOfitable application of their energy and capital. It is not necessary, in the first instance, that the ground laid out should be consecrated. Many intramural cemeteries—the Crossbones yard for one—are unconsecrated ; and, amongst those which are consecrated, many—like the St. George's churchyard, described as little better than a huge " cesspool"—have ceased to deserve or justify the sanction of the church. The consecration of such horrible cloatte for the reception of the dead is not less a mockery of Christian faith than an outrage on human feeling. Who would not rather rest from " life's fitful fever" in some sequestered spot—fanned by the pure breeze, watered by the clear dew, and illumined by Heaven's unintercepted light, than be laid, amidst the harsh clamour of the sunless town, to fester in a consecrated "cesspool ?" Away with them, then, these plague spots of our metropolitan organism ! Away with these gangrenous cancers, that poison the blood of the people. Let us root them out this very winter, lest, ere the next summer be past, they breed another pestilence among us. The air above—the earth beneath—and the waters under the earth, are alike polluted by their loathsome presence. Away with them—at once, and for ever ! CHRONICLE.—We well remember the picture which Sir William Molesworth drew last June of the multiform duties of the Colonial Secretary :—" Giving a few hours to one dependency, and then a few hours to another; traversing and re-traversing, in his imagi nation, the terraqueous globe ; flying from the Arctic to the. Antarctic Pole ' • hurrying from the snows of North America to the burning regions of the Tropics —now in Ceylon, a financial and religious reformer, promoting the interests of the coffee-planter, and casting discredit on the both and religion of Buddha —now in Van Diemen's Land, striving to reform the fiends whom he has transported to that pandemo nium—now in Canada, discussing the Indemnity Bill and the war of races; or," concluded the lively speaker, "in the fair isles of the lonian Sea, enjoying I hope, for the sake of my dear friend Mr. Ward, a life of luxurious ease and pe r fect tranquillity. " Alas ! vain was the friendly aspiration. The single excep • lion to an otherwise universal turbulence was not to be. Even while the wish was breathed the elements of discord were stirring; and but two months later— " Oh, freak perverse of fate !"—the " dear friend," to whom the philosophical but too imaginative orator had generously assigned the only pleasant rile in the whole drama of British colonial politics, is rudely awakened from the delightful day dream into which the echoes of St. Stephen's may probably have lulled him, and finds himself summoned to as rough a piece of work as ever fell to the share of the unluckiest even of Lord Grey's Governors. In place of felicitating Mr. Ward on the enjoyment of " luxurious ease" and "perfect tranquillity," we have now to congratulate him—which we do most heartily—on his very narrow escape from the bullets of "Young Greece," and on the vigour and decision with which he has accepted the hard necessity that converts a charm ing sinecure into a post of difficulty and peril. For the Lord High Commissioner appears to have acted with admirable promptitude. On the first tidings of the revolt he proclaimed martial law, dis patched troops to reduce - Scala, and followed them in person next day. He found Argostoli "in a state of unprecedented excitement and alarm. The rebels were said to be advancing in large numbers, and a combined movement of the disaffected upon the town was talked of, in which the mountain villages were to take part. Business was suspended, and the Custom-house closed." We quote Mr. Ward's own words, as they decisively show that he, at any rate, did not feel that he was dealing with a mere riot. At Trojanata, while standing near the entrance of a church, the Primate was shot dead at his feet. How ever, the vigorous measures adopted soon produced their effect. By the 3d of September the numbers of the insurgents were reduced to insignificance ; and their leaders, the priest Gregorio Nodaro (surnamed the assassin") and Vlacco, were being hunted through the hills with every prospect of a spe e dy capture. The next advices will, it may reasonably be hoped, announce that the revolt is at an end. In our recent remarks on these disturbances we alluded to the main grounds for believing that the outbreak, however slight and easily repressible in itself, was by no means a mere sudden ebullition of Cephaloniot cut-throats and thieves. We showed, that however largely a lust of plunder or bloodshed might have entered into the emeute, it was in reality only a new manifestation of a spirit which had long existed, and which we feared it would take long to lay. These views are fully borne out by what we now learn. Mr. Ward observes—" There is ample evidence to prove that secret societies were connected I l i with this movement—that it has been many months in preparation, and is countenanced by persons still resident" in Cephalonia, " who fancied that they could guide the passions which they stimulated and let loose." If these words mean anything, it must be adiniiteil that they point to an organization of classes superitir in position to the prominent actors in the present out break—more wary, averse to mere plunder and riot, and who are biding their time. Another bad feature in the affair is an apparent sympathy on the part of the peasantry with the rebels. " Between the 28th and 31st August," says Mr. Ward, " the houses of seven resident proprietors were destroyed; murders of the most diabolical character were committed. The Cavalier Metaxa, a man universally respected, was burnt with four servants in his own house, while the whole population of Scala looked on." Meanwhile, we cannot forget that this affair is the second of its kind within twelve months—that Mr. Ward himself connects both these disagreeable events with " poli tical causes"—and that those causes must long continue in operation. We stated on a former occasion, that whoever hates law and order and British rule is the lonian Islands has but too real a grievance to cast in our teeth—in 1815 we institutions, and to give the States free and we have not done so. The truth is, the Promise was one which it was rash to make, and (at that period) morally impossible to keep. We had not been a year in the islands before we found out that free institutions, if grantsd suddenly and without preparation, would at once lead to all the horrors of anarchy. The constitution framed by Sir T. Maitland in 1817 is, indeed, a sort of travesty of the representative system which we originally pro mised, but it is scarcely less of a grievance on that account. On the whole, it is excellent stock in•trade to the agitators of Young Greece. We also referred to a second grievance, of a cognate though much later origin ; and some curious errors on the part of a weekly contemporary tempt us to add a few further remarks on the subject. Our contemporary has republished a letter, written ten years ago by the present leader of the Whigs to the then Lord High Commissioner, in which many generous specu• lations on the fitness of s ae islanders for free insti tutions are set forth. We have already expressed our own hope that so many years of British rule have not been utterly unavailing to prepare our proteges for at least a partial fulfilment of our former pledges. We are quite willing, therefore, that the Noble Lord should have full credit for the liberality of his views. But let the credit be given justly, and not at the expense of other people. It is not fair to lead the public to imagine that free institutions have been thus long withheld from.the lonian Islands be cause the late Lord High Commissioner, a military man, was averse to forwarding the Premier's liberal views. Lord Seaton's latest act was to pass a resolu ton, according a larger measure of freedom to the people of the lonian Islands than the Colonial•office thought fit to sanction! The resolution, which had excited much sanguine exultation among those whom it was destined to enfranchise, was quashed and set aside. One of Mr. Ward's chief difficulties at this moment is to assuage the disappointment which Lord Grey 'thus created; and the other is to frame any measure really calculated to transfer power from Downing street into the hands of the people, which Lord Grey will confirm. We confess that we shall watch with the utmost sympathy the efforts of the " Liberal civilian " to escape from the horns of this practical dilemma. TAE BERMONDSEY MURDER.--Since the last exa • urination of Manning and his wife at the Southwark Police-court for the murder of Patrick O'Connor, a cir cumstance has come to light which is likely to throw guilt upon a third person. Yates and Burton have been untiring in their exertions to trace out the truth, and yesterday they ascertained that O'Connor was seen by a woman who keeps a tobacconist's and news shop, at twenty minutes before six o'clock, in company with Mrs. Manning on the evening of the murder. They passed her shop arm-in -arm, and proceeded towards London bridge, followed about twelve yards in the rear by Man ning and another man, whom she has minutely described and identified. It is therefore supposed, from other in formation, the three men, including O'Connor, entered a public house, while Mrs. Manning hurried to his lot ings to ascertain whether the deceased's property was sate. In the meantime, Manning and the other man contrived to get O'Connor to his house, where they were shortly afterwards rejoined by Mrs. Manning, and the murder committed. It is quite clear that the murdered man's property was not stolen on the first evening, and that her calling at his lodgings then was to ascertain whether his box and things were as usual before the deed was committed. Other circumstances ot importance in culpating a third person are known, but until the whole affair has been laid before the authorities at the Home office it would be improper to publish more of the facts. There is no doubt that the suspected person will bo in custody prior to the next examination. Several of the tradesmen residing in Bermondsey and the vicinity of the murder have determined to present Barnes and Bur ton with some testimonial for their active services in finding the body of the murdered man, and subscrip tions will be received by Mr. Bailey, the landlord of the Leather Market Tavern, where the inquest was held. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST CHOLERA.—The officers of the Customs, a large portion of whom are exposed to the inclemencies ot the season on board ships, on arrival in London from foreign ports, are furnished with pre cautionary instructions for the preservation of their health at the present time. Tile-waiters, when on board ship, are recommended to sleep in a dry covered part of the vessel; to keep their bedding free from wet or damp; to air their bedclothes, by hanging them upon deck when the weather is fine; to be very careful not to go on deck at any time without being completely dressed: and to have always a dry shift of clothing with them. It is also recommended to them as desirable, that, when they are boarded in ships not in dock, each should be pro*ided with a cup of warm coffee before going on deck during the night watches. A package containing four small parcels of medicines is given to each tide-waiter before going on board ship; the first being a preservative, to be taken night and morning, as a tonic, during the preva lence or cholera; and the others to be used if the person be distressed with diarrhceA or the premonitory symp toms of cholera. We believe that up to the present time not a single instance has occurred of death from cholera among the officers of the Customs' water guard, although two or three deaths have occurred in other branches of the department. Though years bring with them wisdom, yet there is one lesson the aged seldom leara, namely, the ma nagement of youthful feelings. Age is all head, youth all heart; age reasons, youth feels; ag. acts under the influence of disappointment, youth under the dominion of Cook's Journal, THE IMPRISONED CHARTISTS. A well-attended meeting took place on Thursday, at the Hall of Science, City-road, upon the subject of the recent deaths of Joseph Williams and Alexander Sharpe, in Tothill fields Prison. Mr. Davis was voted to the chair, and opened the proceedings by a temperate address, in which he dwelt on the importance of devoting their efforts rather to serving the living sufferers than bewailing those who were no more. He could not, however, help remarking, that a diet of bread and water, and solitary confinement, for refusal to comply with what some of the soundest legal autho rities-considered an unlawful order, was, in the time of such a serious visitation of epidemic disease, an act which he should feel loth to characterise in the lan guage of indignation, lest he should injure the cause of other sufferers. lie would, therefore, leave the subject in the hands of the gentlemen who would follow him, with the remark that now, for the first time, was a cordial fusion taking place between the working and middle clas , 4.s, an union which would give to their cause irresistible power. Mr. T. CLARK moved the first resolution. They had met on a melancholy occasion ; but this was not the time for a display of personal feelings, as well remarked by their chairman. He would lo o k beyond the grave where Sharpe and Williams lay, and where, perchance more victims of political per secution might soon lie, unless a general am nesty—(Hear, hear)—for such offences should quickly arrive from the Government. He would louk to the widows and orphans of the dead and the living men incarcerated for like offences. On the death of Wil liams the jury found that he had been six days con demned to bread and water, because the sum of ss. per week, as a substitute for labour, had been omitted from the poverty of his friends. He thought, and very good men thonght with him,- that there should be a distinction between political and criminal of fenders, that a thief and the man who might have been intemperate in his expressions of opinion should have a different treatment. There were, however, a large number of good and sensible men, who thought no man should be treated in the way Williams and Sharpe had been, and which, in the opinion of a jury, accelerated at least one of their deaths. He would not allude to the sufferings of the wives and families of the imprisoned survivors at such a crisis, lest he should become too warm. Now was the time to exer cise the prerogative of mercy towards them, there was an excellent opportunity of earning the gratitude of the working classes, and there would be wisdom in snatching the opportunity. Mr. Clark then moved, " That when circumstances render' the punishment of political offenders necessary, a broad distinction should be drawn between them and offenders against person and property, and that distinction not being observed in Tuthill-fields gaol, that the Government be petitioned that all such prisoners should be re leased." Mr. Maori seconded the resolution in a speech of considerable force. Five shillings a week, for prison diet, had been paid by a friend of the deceased until a few weeks since, when, it being discontinued, the prisoners were ordered to pick oakum ; they were of opinion that the Governor had no such power, and they refused. Hence they were solitarily confined on bread and water. Now, he was advised by all he had read, by the instruction of every medical man, that a generous diet was a preventive of the fatal epidemic ; what, then, was the inference, when, with cholera in the prison these men were put on the lowest food which could support life ? He implored them not to forget the widow and the fatherless bereaved by their deaths, and exhorted them to petition earnestly for a remission of the sentence on the other political prisoners now suffering. There were men higher in station than themselves now embarked in this cause in the true spirit of philanthropy, and with their aid they could not but prosper in their endeavour. He trusted that not in this alone, but for other ob:ects, he should see the mbidle and working classes united; when that union eh mid take place they would only have to ask earnestly and their prayers must be granted. Mr. TINDAL ATKINSON came forward amid much applause. Ile congratulated himself on the opportu nity of meeting so large and intelligent an assembly of the working class. One of the causes of the gulf which had hitherto separated these classes in thought and f•eling was now filled up, he hoped for ever, and nothing would divide them again. Mr. Atkinson concluded an energetic address by ann , :uncing that Mr. Cobden, M.P., Sir Joshua Walmsley, and other influential men, were with them in their endeavours for a remission of the punishment of those yet incar cerated. If they sought mercy from the Crown, it would scarcely now be denied, in a time of profound peace and general order. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was carried without a dissentient hand. Mr. M'GRATii then read a memorial to her Ma jesty, setting forth the circumstances of the prisoners recently deceased, and humbly beseeChing her Ma jesty to exercise her prerogative of mercy in favour of the surviving prisoners. After an address, in which the speaker urged the motives of patriotism, philan thropy, and religion, as prompting all to its support, he promised them, if thq succeeded, the felicity of rescuing the suffering and wiping away the tears of the distressed—if unsuccessful, the satisfaction of an approving conscience. _ _ STALLWOOD seconded the memorial. He doubted not Mr. Richard Cobden would present it, and Sir Joshua Walmslev accompany him; it had also the approval of Mr. .Thseph Hume.— (Cheers.) The memorial was then proposed from the chair, and unanimously agreed to. Mr. DIXON wished to announce a gratifying fact. Through the exertions of Mr. Cobden, Cuffey and bis companions would be freemen on arriving at their destination, though not permitted to return to this country. The mother of Mullins was now in the establishment of that gentleman, and, with the in tended wife of her son, would, he believed, by the benevolence of the Member for the West Riding, be forwarded after their husband and father.—(Cheers.) Thanks were then moved to the chair, and the meeting separated. THE PRINCE OF CANINO —BIRMINGHAM, THURS• DAY.-LL.t evening Mr. George Dawson and others waited upon the Prince to request he would accept of a soir4e. lle declined the honour, and immediately wrote the following reply : Birmingham, Sept 19, 1849. "To Messrs. William Potter, George Dawson, and other gentlemen of the borough of Birmingham who have been kind enough to invite me to a soirée in con nexion with their admiration of the conduct of the truly heroic Roman people, my best thanks are due.

Could I have remained in Bir mingham until Monday nothing would have gratified me more than to attend on the company who have ho noured me with an invitation, and then certainly should I not have remained mute and dumb, as I shall never remain whenever my feeble voice may be raised in fa vour of liberty and civilizition. I should specially have been proud in looking in the face of every Englishman in the room, to greet him as a friend to the oppressed and dread foe to the oppressor, I should have been happy in thanking the inhabitants of Birmingham—to thank, at the same time, the noble nation from which I have received so kind hospitality, and to testify my ad miration to that constitution which, notwithstanding the faults that in theory you may And an objection to, works so admirably in practive, and gives this great people so much greatness, and happiness, and liberty, to an extent that is not possessed in any other country, not only of Earope, but of all the world; whilst better framed con stitutions, without the vigilance of an enlightened people, can make pseudo-monarchies, or, what is worse, mock republics.--C.

The in quiry after fancy goods is very limited—nevertheless we would advise those who hold stocks (which, by the way, are very small) to keep them rather than submit to a reduction, as there is almost a certainty of a further rise in the price of doubled yarn. The hosiery trade in nearly all its branches is in a healthy state, with the ex ception of gloves, particularly silk ones, for which just now there is very little inquiry.

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL ORATIONS. Yesterday being St. Matthew's-day, a large num ber of the friends of the venerable and excellent charity of Christ's Hospital assembled in the great ball to hear the orations delivered, in accordance with annual custom, by the "Grecians" or senior scholars. In no way can a man destitute of every qualifi cation to secure for his memory the respect of pos terity, save good intentions and money, obtain a place among those who have immortalized their names so effectually as by endowing a great seminary or adding to the resources of a seat of learning. Year after year his reputation is embalmed in grateful speeches and laudatory orations, while the effect of his good det di can scarcely be estimated by those who are unable to follow through their various paths in life the men of genius, talent, and industry, who have been enabled century after century to raise them selves to honourable positions by the aid held out to them in their indigent youth. With great propriety, therefore, the most important orations at the annual celebration in Christ's Hospital are devoted to the elucidation of "the benefits of the Royal Hospital," and the praise of the illustrious founder is proclaimed in the choicest phrase which Latin, Greek, good mother English, and French can afford. The Lord Mayor, attended by the state officers of the corporation and a number of aldermen and civic dignitaries, attended Divine service in the chapel at tached to the college, where they heard an excellent sermon, and at half- past twelve o'clock the doors of the hall were opened to the crowd of ladies and gen tlemen who had besieged it for some time before, and who soon occupied every seat on the side benches and in the galleries of the spacious and well-proportioned building. At the termination of Divine service the boys were let hose, and a stream of fluttering blue gowns and yellow legs flowed up from bench to bench of the lofty platform at the east end of the hall, till it was full to overflowing, and presented one dense array of happy smiling faces. The Lord Mayor, chained and robed, preceded by the sword bearer, whose hairy cap and paraphernalia of office divided the admiration of the boys with the glittering scarlet and gold of the city marshal, went in state down the hall, and took up his seat in the chair of honour; then came the sheriffs, aldermen, and go vernors of the hospital on either side of his Lord ship—Dr. Rice, the venerable head-master, and the assistant-masters, occupying places near the rostrum, in the centre of the hall, from which the orations were delivered. Lawrence Cra ven, second Grecian and classical medallist, 1849, who is proceeding to Trinity College, Cambridge, delivered the Latin oration with propriety and taste. The composition itself was excellent, and distinguished by the good feeling of the allusions to the retirement of the matron, who for fourteen years presided over the domestic details of the hospital, and of the gentleman who long acted as treasurer. Next came one in English by Hermann C. Heilbronn, first Grecian (proceeding to Emmanuel, Cambridge), who enlarged with considerable eloquenee on the past success of the seholars of the hospital, two of whom have obtained Brown's medals this year at the university. A Greek oration, most admirably spoken by Thomas Holbrow, third Grecian (proceeding to Trinity, Cambridge), and a French oration, remarkable for purity of diction and elegance of expression, to which George Hector Croad, fourth Grecian, mathematical medallist, 1849 (proceeding to Trinity, Cambridge), did every justice both in pronunciation and feeling. All these were on the benefits of' the Royal Hospital, which seem fully appreciated, as they are apparently well bestowed, by the gentlemen who are now about entering on the career of academical competition. Latin Alcaics, on Nineveh, in which Mr. Layurd's vivid portraitures of his great discoveries were not inaptly embodied, fell to the lot of Alfred Sweeting, sixth Grecian. The passage from Samson Agonistes wherein the great Israelite laments his cap tivity and blindness, done into Greek lambics, was spoken by Charles Spread Townsend, fifth Grecian. We cannot pass over the Latin hexameters on the death of Julius Cm,ar, although we detected familiar old friends in some of the dactyls and spondees, with out complimenting the speaker, Gilbert Wilson Brown, ninth Grecian, on the extremely good taste, ease, and declamatory power with which he delivered them. Latin elegiacs on " Jepthah's vow," by H. Dove Sweeting, twelfth Grecian, Greek Sapphies on "the Spinish Armada," by 11. . Pryce Jones, eight Grecian, Latin hexameters (trom Goldsmith's Tra veller, close and good), by Leonard 1-1. Lidbwer, tenth Grecian, Latin Sapphics on "the Euliwrent ' " by G. C. Bell, eleventh Grecian, a n d a n E ng li s h poem "on the Shores of the Mediterranean," fol lowed in due order, and the orations were terminated. The senior Grecians then proceeded to make the usual collection, and we hope the small gloves in which they received contributions were satisfac torily filed. Then came a very startling event. Without a moment's warning, the organ pealed forth " God save the Queen," and we know not how many hundred boys drowned it in their shrill tenors, with a suddenness and effect which, for a moment, were al most paralyzing. FUNERAL of the lute BISHOP of NORWICH. On the morning of Monday, the 17th- inst., the remains of the late Bishop of Norwich were removed in a hearse, followed by a single mourning coach, from Brahan Castle, near Dingwall, Ross-shire. On reaching lnvergordon, which is about 20 miles from Inverness, the body vs as put on board the Duke of Su therland steam-vessel, which reached Yarmouth Roads at about half past fiver M. on Wednesday. Thence the remains were conveyed, in a hearse with tour horses, to the palace at Norwich, arriving there about eleven o'clock at night, and being at once placed in the private chapel. On the coffin, which was covered with black cloth, was the inscription, " Edward Stanley, D.D., Lord Bishop of Norwich, aged 70; died Sept. 6, 1849, at Brahan Castle." During the preparations for the funeral the cathedral service was p tmn e eoos r nrd f s o n. r iyw, m i geaernded Norwichimni ith S du t. ers L fdwoa u ray k s e t afii ' kl c e n ie h dmt a s ! e iteto l hn a s d e joining. number ofO a n p le p c d a t v h i view w e l e thergy and i n te gentry n e t n r t ; more than 1,200 of which were issued. Yesterday of the surrounding district, all anxious to pay their tribute of respect to the memory of the late bishop by accompanying his remains to the tomb. All the shops were closed, and business of every kind was suspended until the funeral was over. The Cathedral, the Close, and the Palace-gardens even, were crowded with people anxious to view the mourn ful ceremony, and to show the esteem in which the departed prelate was held by them. The funeral procession left the palace at one o'clock, the coffin carried by 12 bearers, the pall borne by the following' dignitaries of the church :—Dr. Collier, Archdeacon of Norwich; Dr. Ormerod, Archdeacon of Suffolk; Dr. Jennings, Archdeacon of Norfolk; and seven Honorary C anons—viz., the Hon. and Rev. E. S. Keppel, the Win. and Rev. W. J. T. Pelham, the Revs. Ralph Berners, W. A. Bouverie, F. T. Bevan, Henry Tracy, and George Stevenson. The chief ' mourners were Mrs. Stanley, Miss Stanley, Miss Catherine Stanley, the:Rev. ArthurTenrhyn Stanley, Mr. E. Penrhyn, Archdeacon Hare, Lord Heytesbury, and Mr. Henry and Mr. William Stanley, his son and nephew. The coffin was preceded by about 800 of the citizens of Norwich, all clad in deep mourning, who walked six abreast, and were followed by the mayor, sheriff, aldermen, and town-council, also in deep mourning, with 'crape - scarfs. After the chief mourners came the domestics of the palace, and behind them nearly 1 000 clergymen of the diocese, ministers of all denominations, and gentlemen from the country. To these succeeded about 500 more of the citizens of Norwich, the school children of the city, and immense numbers of the working classes. The long procession passed over the palace plain, through the Erpingham-gate, to the west door of the cathedral, where the Dean of Norwich, the Lord High Steward, the canons, and members of the cathedral received it, and preceded the coffin to the choir, which was hung with black. The chief mourners took their places in the stalls, the clergy and gentlemen from the coun try. occupied the seats on the east side of the and the spectacle presented—while the burial service was performed in a very affecting manner by the Den of Norwich—was of the most striking and solemn description. The grave.inwhich the remains of the late Bishop were then deposited stands near the centre of the nave, and thither, ~ while the organ sounded forth the " Dead March i n the coffin was borne in the same order of procession as was observed in entering the cathedral. The mournful ceremony ended shortly after two o'clock. Bishop Stanley is only the ninth diocesan of Norwich buried within the cathedral since the RelOrmation. The la't Bishop interred there was Richard M9ntague, D.D., who died in 1638. Bishop Reynolds, who died in 1660, and Bishop Sparrow, who died in 1676, were both buried in the private chapel. Bishop Ling, who died in 1723, rests in the parish church of Heigham; and Bishop Bathurst, who died in 1837, at the age of 94, was interred at Great Malvern.
