UNDER ROYAL PATRONAGE. BEWLEY, FISHER, AND CO.'S CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER. —This Preparation contains, in a highly concentrated state, and without the addition of any more heating stimulant, all the car minative and restorative properties of this useful and grateful aro matic, separated from the ligneous fibre which constitutes the bulk of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity of the powder to produce the desired effect, BEWLEY, FISHER, and CO. conceive this form of exhibition the most convenient, when taken in water, tea, beer, wine, &c. ; or for combination with other medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of We powder. It is recommended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gou'y. Dyspeptic, and Ner. vous habits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused throughout the whole system, relieving cramps, spasms, flatulency, pain, and sense of oppressi..ll after meals, and restoring the tone of the stomach. Its utility is also manifested as an adjunct to other medi cines, and in correcting the chill which soda and other aerated or mineral waters give the stomach, as well as hi adding to their tonic property. In bottles at 2s. Gd. and 45., prepared by BEWLEY, FISHER, and Co., 64, Dame-street, Dublin. Also their Anodyne Lettuce Lozenges, for coughs, colds, asthma, and affections of the chest. Doctor Duncan, of Edinburgh, and other leading members of the profession, have strongly recommended Lactuearlum (the inspis sated juice of the garden Lettuce) as possessing peculiarly soothing and quieting properties in the above complaints, and especially in the troublesome cough attendant on consumption. To increase its efficacy, Bewley, Fisher, and Co. have combined it with hippo and demulcents, and have adopOd the form of a lozenge as being the most agreeable mode for its administration.

Blame not my admiration, when I say, I love the pleasures of a Derby Day ; For pleasing is the scene which yearly crowns The versant slopes of Epsom's far-famed Downs. The dawning of the day is tshered in With animating stir and welcome din ; And many a face with smiling gladness shows That many a breast with sporting ardour glows. This season is a holiday in which The young and old partake—the poor and rich. The road-side inns thronahout the exciting day, A scene of glad activity display ; While loaded vehicle, from neighbouring towns Convey their thou-ands to the busy Downs. Blame not my admiration when I say I love the pleasures of a Derby Day. Is there not much to notice and admire In multitudes adorned with choice attire. On this glad day the crowded race-course shows The choicest specimens of summer clothes. Moses and Son are seen in every track, And I hid nearly said on every back ; Anti such attractions would alone ropey A trip to Epsom on the Derby Day. ]f, reader, you have never chanced to view What Moses' Dress Establishment can do. A visit to the Epsom Downs will show What vast improvements to this Mart we owe. The e yau s ill see the new Spring Wrappers worn, With every beauty that can well adorn ; And dress-coats, sporting-coats, and frock-coats too, And vests and trousers elegant to view ; While w 11--hod feet as well as well-decked crowns, Contribute to the scene on Epsom Dswns, And render Moses with their choice display, Sucees.tful winners on the Derby Day.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 23. —For the season, we never saw a better show of beasts, number and quality con sidered. Of sheep the supply fully equal to the demand. Lambs in fair show &se. With the exception of lamb, which is the turn lower, we cannot note any decided change in prices, though the attendance was good and sales briskish. Only a few very inferior beasts and sheep unsold. NEWBURY, MAY 24.—The quantity of wheat pitched to day is rather large, and by far more than is required, the con sumption being almost wholly confified to the supply of the local demand, vrh:ch is very contracted. The sales made to day have barely suppt rted the reduced rates of last week. Barley but little in offer; the malting season having closed, there is but little demand, at about late rates. Beans, short supply, and Is to 2sper qr. dearer. Oats and Peas, with a mo. derate supply, unaltered in value. LivEnroon, 'MAN 25.—At this day's market there was a thin attendance of the town and country trade, and a very moderate demand was experienced for wheat, at Tuesday's prices. Oats and oatmeal met with a slow sale, but main tained their value. Barley, beans, and Fees moved off pretty freely at full prices. Barrel flour hung heavily on hand, though offered at a reduction of fully 3d per barrel. An ad vance of 6d per quarter must be noted in Indian corn, with a fair amount of business done at the improvement. EXETER, MAY 25.—Cattle—The market was again heavily supplied with all descriptions of stock, and a good business has been done, at prices more satisfactory to the buyer.

Cows and calves were plentiful, but - were mostly of an ordinary description and sold at from 71 to 121. Ten Guernseys in calf were on Offer, the prices asked ranged from 101 to 12/ each, which was thought too high, and they were not sold. There was a fair supply of steers, which sold at from 201 to 251 per couple. Good barreners were more in request, and the freshest sold at 5s to 5s 3d per score. Some lots of tidy North Devon yearlings were sold at from 31 to 4/ each. From .0i to 300 Dorset rearing calves were driven in, and most of them went off at from 35s to 45s each ; butchers' calves sold at 4d to bd per lb. The best small fat wether, in their wool, were worth bid to 6d per lb; naked fat hogs, about 5d to bid ; ewes, 5d ; lambs, 6, 1 ;1 to 7d ; store hogs, 25s to 30s each ; couples, 34s to 38s. Pork Carcases—There was a large supply, which, during the early part of the morning, sold at 7s 6d to 8s per score; but as the day advanced, there being not much competition, and no buyers from Bristol, prices fell off materially—and be fore the market closed, good pigs sold at 6s to 7s 6d per score.

Corn Exchange.—The attendance of farmers to day has been very small, and but few samples have been shown. The millers are acting with great caution, and bought only for immediate wants, and the growers stood out very stiff for pre vious prices. At a later period the market was better attended, and samples were more plentiful. For the best warranted wheat, 6s 6d has been given, but 6s to 63 3d have been the rul. ing prices. Belgian white wheat, 50s per quarter. French ditto, 4Ss ; red ditto, 445, barley, 4s per bushel; oats,' 2s 6d to 2s 10d ; fine flour, 34s to 36s per sack. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 25.—There has been a better assortment of sugars at market this week, but the transactions have not been large, owing to the pretensions of holders being rather in advance of the preient currency.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. VIC s CILINCE leY COURT, May 25. (1 .lore Sir J. L. KNIGHT BRUCE.) IN TELE MATTER OF THE DIRECT L ONDON AND MAN CHESTER RAILWAY COMPANY—EX PARTE POCOCK. This was the petition of Mr. Thomas Pocock, an allottee, praying the dissolution and win•lieg•up of the above company under the Jeint-stock Companies Wind ing-up Act, 1848. The petition stated that the peti tioner had bad allotted to him thirty shares, in respEct of which he had signed the subscriber's agreement, and paid a deposit of five guineas per share, by virtue of winch he became a contributory to the above company; that the project had become abortive; that the directors, in August, 1846, paid a dividend of 31. 10s. per share among the shareholders, which dividend was paid out of the deposits then in their hands, and that the petitioner participated rateably in this dividend, and that he received and signed the following certificate:—.. It being deemed best to wind up the affairs of tiaia company, and the pro. visional directors havin g settl e d such a ffairs so far as to enable them to pay back im me di a tely W. 10:?. upon every share issued, I concur the re i n , an d c o n sent to receive upon my shares hereunder described 3/.los. per share, and such other pro rata division of the funds which shAl remain after the settlement of all claims and liabilities on the company or the provisional directors, in satisfection and discharge of such shares." The petitioner stated that he bad been informed that a further dividend of 101. per share had been made by the directors in 1848, amongst such of the holders of shares as signed a release, but that he, the petitioner, had refused to do. so; that no account whatever had been given to the shareholders of the state of the company's aseets.-and liabilities, and that there were liabilities to a considerable emount for which he was liable, or might be made responsible. Mr. BACON and Mr. J. 11. PALMER were Ilfard in support of the petition, andjueisted on the - right of Mr. Pccock to an account, neftwithstindink - the document which had been signed, and notwithstanding his mall interest in the company's affairs, the directors being in law trustees for the shareholders. _ _ Mr. Rolt, Mr. Wins, Mr. Glasse, and Mr. Hoggins opposed the petition, on the ground that the petitioner was concluded by his acceptance of the dividend, and signature of the document; and that, at all events, he e u could not he enitled to more than the amount of the subsequent dividend of 10 3 . per share, which amounted to T a h s e u my tooVICE C trifling g cE t n o jorist— small amou n t o f peed ifYThe the present p rocee di ng . niary interest of the only petitioner in this matter, con sidering the evidence that there is as to the extent of the liability of this company, is a matter I think not un worthy of consideration upon this petition. Ido not, however, mean to represent it as being decisive. Au other circumstance worthy of consideration is the time at which the petition was presented. The time at which the petition is presented is in May, 1849, the Act under which it is presented having received the Royal Assent in the month of August. Considering the various events and transactions that have taken place with regard to this before the Act received the Royal Assent, that also, I repeat, is a matter deserving of consideration. The 12th section, among other things, enables the Court to refer it to the Master to make preliminary inquiries as to the neceesity or expediency of a dissolution and wind ing-up, or of the winding-up of the company; and in ease it should appear from the report, after the reference, that the d!ssoluti,in an 1 a iuding-up of the company, or the winding-up under the Act was necessary or expedi ent, to make the order absolutely which the Act men tions. The 14th section enables the Court, upon further directions, to dismiss the petition with or without costs, or to make an order absolutely. Now, considering the Various transactions which had taken place, and which it is unnecessary to mention, before this Act passed—no earlier than 1846—1 think it quite clear that the utmost xtent to which the court couid by possibily, with pro priety, assist the petitioner on the present occasion ould be to refer it to the Master to consider whether it is necessary or expedient that this company should be wound up under the Act. The Court ought not to make such an order, if upon the materials bef:re the Court, in the opinion of the Court it is not necessary or expe dient that the winding-up of the affairs of the company is necessary or expedient under the Act. And, upon the materials before me, I should have been of opinion that it was not necessary or expedient that the winding-up of the company's affairs should take place under the Act, but for a single consideration, namely, that the ac counts have not been produced to the petitioner. If the accounts had been produced to the petitioner, and there was nothing unreasonable —nothing plainly improper ex hibited en the face of the accounts—l should have dis missed this petition upon the understanding that the respondents were willing to indemnify the petitioner from the demand which had been mentioned—between 2.000/. and 3,0004 and paying him, if he would accept it, the 15/. which has been mentioned. I consider the respondents are bound to give the undertaking, if the Court requires it, the accounts not having been pro duced. 1 do not think it fit at present to dismiss the petition, but I will let it stand over, if the directors will undertake to produce the eccounts. Mr. Minims said this undertaking would bo certainly given. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Then let tho accounts be produced to the petitioner, and let him have the oppor tunity of examining them, and let him have the oppor tunity of bringing any matter which he may desire upon the accounts before the attention of the Court. But if I remain of my present opinion, it must be 6omething strongly and plainly mateial upon these accounts of an objectionable nature that will induce me to act upon this petition, under the particular circumstances of this case. Let the petition stand over, with liberty to be mentioned — Orders were then mans for a reference, under the Winding•up Act, upon ptitions against the following companies :—' The Direct London and Exeter Railway, The Wisbeach Peterb)rough, and Midland Union Railway, The - Ipswich, Norwich, and Yarmouth Railway, The Eastern Counties Extension Railway, The Cambridge and Colchester Railway, The Northampton, Lincoln, and Hull R Mr. Mains, Mr. J. 11. Palmer, and Mr. Roxburghe, appeared upon the several petitions, which were unop posed. IN RE THE WATERFORD AND KILKENNY RAILWAY CONPAN Y. This petition was understood to have been withdrawn, without costs. There were several other petitions, which were ordered to stand over. ATTEMPT TO MURDER. A WHOLE FAMILY.—On Saturday night last a young man named Linhatn, who resides near Gore Knap gate, Yeovil, and who is blind and deaf, made a desperate attempt at murder. His lather, mother, sister, avid brother, had gone to bed, when the prisoner got a trout spear, with four prongs to it, and commenced stabbing the whole of the parties, inflicting such severe wounds in the head, neck, face, and body of his mother, as almost to render her lifeless; and had it not been for a person near hearing them call for assistance, and going to them, ho would, in all pro bability, have killed the whol e o f t h em . On being asked w hy he did it, he would g i ve no reason , only that he wanted to kill his father and b rot h er . Medical aid was immediately procured, but we are sorry to say the mo ther is still in a very dangerous state. The others are going on favourably. It would seem that the young man is mad. He is at present in custody.—Shaborne Journal. - Tun HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con stantly announced for promoting the growth or re production of the human hair, few survive, even in e I beauty, e r i or only preserving v name, beyond a very limited period; whilst Rowland's Meozesor Oil, with a reputaton unparalleled, is still on the increase in public estimation.

From •t exquisite purity and delicacy, it is admirably adapted for s the hair of children, even of the most tender age, and i 3 c,instantly employed for this purpose in the nursery of royalty, and by the families of the nobility and aristo cracy. It is important on purchasing to see that the words " Rowlands Macassor Oil" are on the wrapper, as spurious imitations are abroad. Sold by A.

ROYAL NAVAL Scuoor..—Yesterday the 'annual general meeting of the subscribers to this school was held at the Thatched House, St. James's-street, for the purpose of receiving the report, and on ordinary busi ness. Rear-Admiral Bowles presided, supported by the Marquis of Thomond, Admiral Sir J. Ornieep o y, t . ir iv. Pell, Sir C. Ogle, and other distinguished naval officers and civilians. The secretary, E Mr. —awes, read the re port, which • • states that the school was steadily advancing in character, and the council continued to receive most satisfactory letters from parents whose sons had left the school. By the observance of the strictest economy the expenditure had been brought within the receipts, and no encroachment bad been made on the invested capital, which amounted to 3,8401. 4s. The receipts were set down at 5,531/. 195. 103., and the expenditure at 5,3411. lls. 5d., leaving a balance in hand of 1901.85. sd.

(From the London Gazette of Friday). INDIA BOARD, MAY 21, 1849. The dis c etch of which the following is an extract, and the accompanying papers, have been this day re ceived at the India House, from the Governor-General of India. THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA TO THE SECRET COMMITTEE OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. Camp, Sidham, April 7, 1849. (Extract). On the 21st ultimo, Major-Gneral Sir Walter Gilbert took possession of the city of Peshawur. Dost Mahomed Khan had fled with his army on the 19th, and had reached the western side of the Khyber Pass. The city of Peshawur was found uninjured; but most of the garden houses in the neighbourhood had been burnt by the Atf ghans, and the Seikh cantonment completely destroyed. You are aware, from my dispatch of the 24th ult., that I looked to the occupation of Peshawur, and the flight, or destrUction, of Dost Mahomed Khan, as re sults, the accomplishment of which was necessary to enable me to declare the war concluded, and peace re stored. The indefatigable ardour of Sir Walter Gil bert, inspiring his troops with like seal, achieved, with singular rapidity, the crowning successes of the war. request your attention to the general order issued by me on the 2d instant, and to the names of the officers particularly noticed therein. [Here follow several dispatches which appeared in The Sun of Thursday;] TEE GOVERNOR GENERAL TO THE QOM MANDER-IN CHIEF. Feroaepore, March 27, 1849. (Extract.) I have had the honour of receiving your Excellency's dispatch, dated the 25th instant, inclosing a copy of one from Major-General Sir Walter Gilbert, K C. 8., in which he announces the occupation of Peshawur by the force under hia command, and the retreat of the Ameer 1)ost Mahomed Khan and his followers beyond the Khyber Pass. I request that. your Excellency will convey to Major- General Sir Walter Gilbert my strongest approbation of the manner in which the service on which he was sent has been condLcted and performed. Major-General Gilbert has earned the highest credit by the ability, energy, and discretion with which he has directed these movements; and I am most sensible of the cheerful and continued exertions which have been made by officers and men—exertions which have produced the gratifying result of compelling the surrender of the remnant of the Seikh army, of driving the A ffghan Sove reign and his army ignominiously from the country, and bringing the war to full and most honourable conclusion. Your Excellency can now proceed to take the proper steps for breaking up the army of the Punjlub. LORD GOUGH AND THE ARMY OF THE PUNJAUB. The Commander•in•Chief has taken his leave of the Army of the Punjaub in the following general order:— "Head-quarters, Camp Skandera; near Lahore, March 31, 1849. " The Commander-in-Chief in India, announces his farewell and adieu to the army of the Punjaub. " The troops which s i nce O cto b er h ave b een i n arms under his command are dispersed to their respective cantonments, and on this, the last occasion of addressing them, Lord Gough desires to place on record his sense of the great Ser vices and exertions through which the sway of British India has been now extended over the broad plains and classic rivers and cities of this kingdom. " The tido of conquest which heretofore rolled on the Punjaub from the west has at length reached and over come it from the east; and that which Alexander at tempted the British Indian army has accomplished. It is with no common pride that the Commander-in Chief applauds the conduct and valour which have led to so glorious a result. "The favour and approbation of the country end Government will, without doubt, mark enduringly the estimate entertained of its desert ; and no time will efface from the memory of this army, and every true soldier in the field, the high sense of triumph and of the glory with which this campaign has terminated. Un dismayed by stern opposition, untired by the procras tinations and delays which circumstances forcibly im posed, or by the great labours and exposure which have been borne so manfully, the army has emerged with a fame and a brightness only the more marked by the try ing nature of its previous toils and endurances. " The mere battle day, when every glowing feeling of the soldier and the gentleman is called into action, will ever he encountered nobly where British artnies are engaged; but it is in the privations, the difficulties, and endless toils of war that the trial of an army consists; and it is these which denote its metal and show of what material it is formed. " Since the day vhen at Ramnuggur the too hasty ardour and enthusiasm of the troops first gave signal of the determined character of the war, and of the fierce ness with which a mistaken but brave enemy were bent to oppose the progress of our arms, till sow, that a crushing and overwhelming victory has prostrated at the feet of our Ruler and his Government, an independent, a proud, and a warlike people, Lord Gough, relying upon British courage and endurance, has never for one moment entertained a doubt of the result, nor yielded, even to adverse chances or circumstances, a lurking fear of the successful issue, which true constancy and firm ness never fail to attain. " The rule which, despite the signal clemency and considerate mercy of the Government, it has neverthe less been found at length necessary to impose upon the Seikhs and their country, has not been thrust upon a defenceless or unresisting people ; their valour, their numbers, their means, and preparation, and the desperate energy with which, in error, and de ceived, the Khalsa and Seikh nation mustered and rallied for the struggle, have been conspicuously appa rent; and the army which, in virtue of a most persistive constancy, has reduced such a race and such troops to submission and obedience, merits well the highest eulo gium which Lord Gough can bestow. " The Commander-in-Chief lingers upon the severance of those ties which have bound him to that army, the last which in the field it was his duty and his pride to command. Long practice and experience of war and its trying vicissitudes have enabled him to fora] a just estimate of the conduct and merit of the troops now being dispersed; and the ardour, the vigilance, the endurance, the closing and triumphant bravery and discipline which have marked their path in the Pun jaeb, will often recur to him in that retirement he is about to sal; and in which the cares, the earnest ex ertions, and grave anxieties inseparable from the duties of high military command, will be richly recompensed and rewarded, by the sense of duty performed, and the consciousness of unwearied and uncompromising devotion to that Sovereign and country, which, in common with the British Indian army, it will ever be his boast and his pride to have so successfully served. "To every General, to every individual officer and soldier, European and Native, of the Army of the Pun jaub, Lord Gough finally repeats his cordial and affec tionate farewell. Their persons and services are en graven in his heart and affections ; and to those among them who may hereafter, within the brief span of lite yet before him, revisit their native country, he tenders the unaffected renewal of that intercourse and friendship which mutual esteem and regard, and mutual dangers and exertions have produced and established.

By a private letter from Hong-Kong, dated the 30th of March, we have the following details of the atrocity and daring of these barbarous hordes:-- ‘ The pirates are daily becoming more and more audacious ,in this neighbourhood, and not a week passes without some robbery or murder being com mitted by them. On Monday, the 18th instant, the day on which the Achilles arrived with the overland mail, Senor Orense, a Spanish Government messenger, and M. Pages, a French gentleman, who had come by her, set cut for Macao with their dispatches, but were not out of sight of the lights of Hong-Kong when their boat was boarded by a gang of pirates, who murdered poor Orense and the captain of the boat, gutted her of everything, and severely burned tho wretched crew with the stink-pots which they threw on board before getting alongside. M. Pages only saved his life e by jumping overboard and holding on by a rope_u r n eo dr so the quarter until the pirates shoved off. Senor g olden had in his charge the Insignia of the Order of the _ Fleece for the Governor of Manilla, and about 80 have O haddollars in silver, of which the pirates aro supposed to information, derived from the Chinese serv ants of the house he had just before left. and " Since the departure of the last m ail, her Majesty's steamer steamer Columbine has arrived f rom Amoy, Albatross from the coast of Africa.

Company's steamer Phlegethon, moored off the factories, to be ready to act in case of necessity. What events the opening of the gates on the 6th of April may bring snout, it is impossible to guess with any approach to certainty; but numerous inflammatory placards, calling on the cele, tials to exterminate the barbarians if they should attempt to enter the town, by pouring down boil ing water on them, and sundry other effectual means of destroying life, continue to be stuck upon the city wells. Stu declares his inability to control the mob, which are drilled in immense multitudes every day, and nightly sur round the factories, yelling execrations and threats, to the infinite terror of our countrymen, and the no trifling.

A vast multitude assembled to wit ness the extraordinary spectacle, at which the King and Queen were also present. On being released from its cage the tiger made a few steps, and then crouched down, as if about to spring. The bull advanced boldly to wards him, paused for a moment, and then rushed at him. The tiger made a spring at the bull, but the lat ter plunged his horn into his adversary's head, and laid him sprawling on the ground completely defeated. The bull then walked round the circus, regarding the public triumphantly. The tiger was dispatched with dogs; and the public, rushing into the circus, divided its re mains among themselves. The head of the tiger is to be placed in the museum. The spectators displayed the greatest joy at the victory of the bull. W age rs to • 100,000100,000100,000 francs depended on the fight.

THE STANFIELD-HALL MURDERS TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Knowing the anxiety of the public to ascertain all the particulars of the late murders in Norfolk, I beg to inform you that, having had my attention called to a letter in your paper of Tuesday last, from Mr. Duncan, stating that; a double-barrelled blunderbuss had been found at Potash Farm, it occurred to me instantly that a man exactly answering Rush's description bought such a gun of me on the 13th of July last; and feeling quite convinced that the gun found was that which I bad sold, and feeling, further, that it was Rush who bought it, I immediately wrote to Sir J. Boileau on the subject, and described the gun exactly; and on the following day Colonel Oakes brought the gun found at Potash for me to see, and it turns out to be that which I sold. The person who bought it had a stick made for making cart ridges, and was shown the manner of making them, and was also supplied with slugs, flints, &c. The gun is a flint double barrelled bayonet blunderbuss. Feeling that this circumstance supplies the only link wanting to complete the chain of evidence, induces me to request the favour of insertion in your valuable journal.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, - - JUHN W. P. FIELD, for Parker, Field, and Sons, guumakers, May 25. 233, High Holborn. TO TILE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CIIROXICLE. Sir,—Having read in several of the morning papers of the 24th instant a communication from a Wymond ham correspondent, which imputes blame to myself, and to the officers under my command, for not having disco vered the blunderbuss which has lately been found at the Potash Farm, I rely with confidence on your kindness to give insertion also to the following short reply to it. The general search which was carried on throughout the whole of this property, and up to the very gates of its farm-yards, was essentially as your correspondent has described ; but there are circumstances in con nexion with those farm-yards which require explana tion, ieeasmuch as they presented difficulties which we had nailer means nor authority to surmount. The Potash Farm was in the occupation of Mr. James Rush, and not of his father. tip to a certain point all our operations had been greatly to his ad vantage. His ditches and his fences had been trimmed and cleared out ; his manure had been collected from various parts of the f arm , an d pl ace d in convenient heaps for him, while those previously formed had been turned. All this was materially to his benefit, and in all I consequently received his most decidsd concurrence ; but, unfortunately, his in terest did not require that his yards should be disturbed. His labourers were threshing in the barn, the waggons were passing over that yard to deposit the corn to be so threshed. The cattle were turned into it, and were there fed. The whole of his business, with the exception of ploughing, seemed to be concentrated in that spot; had I, therefore, under such circumstances, have made a forcible entry upon this part of the premises, I should indeed have carried my research, as your correspondent says, to almost complete demolition. The manure col lected in that yard had been frequently turned, as far as we could reach it, with forks; but the enormous mass of which it was composed (amounting to many hundred loads) could not by possibility have been removed with out resorting to means far beyond those which I had hitherto possessed; but on the very day, the very mo ment after the prisoner Rush was committed for trial, I applied to the magistrates then assembled at the Castle, to furnish me with authority to keep possession of Potash Farm until my search could be completed. This I did for the express purpose of removing the man re and straw from the farm-yards, and of taking down the several stacks which were yet_s!anding. This authority the magistrates did not feel themselves empowered to give, and I consequently remained in my previous state of dependence on the will and pleasure of Mr. Rush. He had already given me intimation that he should no longer allow me or my officers to trespass upon his property; but it was not until ho named a certain day on which he should take legal steps to prevent it, that I consented to withdraw, on his promising that no thing that was capable of concealing the objects of our search slisuld be removed until previous notice had been given to the police. This condition was faithfully ob served in regard to the stacks, and none were removed but in the presence of the police; but the motive for the very sudden and unexpected removal of the manure, I am inclined to think, is not even yet before the public, which will at once explain the breach of our conditions in regard to it. It is brie fly this—a memorandum had been found amongst the papers of Rush, indicating par ticular spots in the farm-yard where a brown paper parcel, containing papers and a pair of boots, were con cealed; of course no mention was made of the blunder buss, but in the search for this property it was die covered. I think it right to apprize you, that what has been de scribed as a shed was actually standing in the farm-yard, and was composed of nothing more than a few long wooden uprights, supporting a canopy or reof, under which the cattle took shelter, and were also fed. That I have been condemned for having done too much in the discharge of my late duty I am aware; but to be cen sured for having done too little is what I could never have anticipated, even from the malice of an enemy. With many apologies for this intrusion, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, RICHARD MONTAGUE OASES, Chief Constable for Norfolk. Dunham, near Swaffhain, 1849. DANISH BLOCKADE.—PLYMOUTII, MAY 24.—The brig Arco, Captain Clark, under the flag of the Equa torian Republic, which sailed from this port on the 9th inst., arrived at Hamburgh on the 17th, and the master reports that he saw nothing of the Danish blockading squadron. Four other neutral vessels (three Spanish and one Swede) have since sailed hence for the same port, in hopes of being equally fortunate. A Bremen brig, the Lesmana, which sailed hence on the 9th, ar rived safely at Antwerp on the 15th inst.; and the Bre men schooner Hermine has also since proceeded on. There are now in this port six Hecuburgh, three Bremen, two Holstein, one Prussian, and one English vessel, bound to the blockaded ports, whose masters have not deemed it prudent to proceed. REGISTRATION AND FINANCIAL REFORM IN MAN CUESTER.—The first meeting of the association formed in Manchester to promote registration and financial re form was held in that city on Thursday evening, for the purpose of electing a general council and officers to carry out the objects of the association, Mr. George Wilson, chairman of the late Anti Corn-law League, in the chair. Several of the more active and influential supporters of the League were present at the meeting, but the gene ral attendance was not large. The chairman said the object of the present meeting was to sanction the steps which had been taken by the provisional council, and to elect a permanent council, in order that the field might be taken in earnest.—(Hear, hear.) Ile should explain the course which they intended to pursue for the future. They proposed to send out com petent persons to,expound the views of the association, to correspond with their friends throughout the coun try, to ask their co-operation, and to put themselves in communication not only with the financial associations of the country, but with those more impor tant associations formed in the Midland districts and in Yorkshire for the purchase of freehold land.—{hear, hear.) Mr. Wilson then referred to the number of county Members who voted against the motions of Mr. Cobden and of Mr. Hume, and stated that in the course of a few years, by attention to the registries, by the purchase of freeholds in the counties, and by the forma tion of land companies for political purposes, they would be able to remove at least fifty of the present county Members who were opposed to Parliamentary and finan cial reform; and in the course of a few years they would secure all the counties, except those which were held entirely by the aristocracy, and were their fastnesses. — ( Applause.) Mr. John Bright, M.P., then proposed that a council consisting of 200 gentlemen be appointed to carry out the objects of the Manchester Parliamentary and Financial Rt form Association, Mr. G. Wilson to be chairman, Mr. Rawson to be treasurer, and Mr. J. Hicken secretary. The Hon. Gentleman addressed the meeting at considerable length, showing the necessity for a large , extension of the franchise, and a reduction of the k,rese.n J. t.DDyer The pro cee dings the Pro ceedings extravagantseconded tohned ie,drotvhithe ei resolution,ox np Provisional c d i t u u n r e l f hv i t . cc h br e a c confirmed o u unfit passed.rrym. eTd h M , terminated. ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER TRENT, NEAR NOTTING.. son mghild o y f d younglerespect able an .p mana - naer.—On Wednesday morning , about three o'clock, a fatal catastrophe occurred on this river t i o nh a i n amed Frederick Doleman, aged 23, the Middle-pave ment, emi nentent vieilryss Nottinghammai ns i t t fo h o iti ; : n ey,w d , 2dhj:ee_iecwphislhltnea number ,ffimribecestri plunged i fn a g ge on. T n h tl e em narrative enb of belong ing facts ton hfam the Nautil us Cl u b had spent the day on theelong river, and adjourned in the evening to the Town Arms Hotel, near the Trent-bridge. After passing the night in revelry, it was proposed, about three in the morning, to embark in one of their cutters, and run it through one of the arches of the bridge, through which there is a ter rific rush of water. Seven of the gentlemen (amongst whom was the unfortunate deceased) immediately got into one of the boats, and in attempting to get through the arch, the craft came in contact with one of the abut ments, and instantly upset. Tho whole of the crew (with the exception of Mr. James, who clung to the boat), were overturned into the water, and Mr. Doleman w a s never afterwards seen alive. After considerable difficulty five of the crew were got out. Mr. James, who s:ill clung to the craft, was hurried down the river for nearly a mile, when luckily he was carried to the shore. Deceased was found on Wednesday morning about nine o'clock. What tends to render the occurrence more me lancholy is the fact that Mr. Doleman was just upon the eve of marriage. An inquest was held on the body on Wednesday afternoon, when a verdict accordingly was returned. An investigation is now in course of proceed ;ng as to what has become of the property which de ceased had upon him at the time of the lamentable acci dent. When found it was discovered that the pockets had been turned inside out; a valuable gold watch and guard were missing, a diamond ring had been taken off his gnger, and the studs_were torn from his shirt.
