UNDER ROYAL PATRONAGE, BEWLEY, FISHER, AND CO.'S CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER. —This Preparation conta'ns, in a highly concentrated state, and without site addition of any mere heating stimulant, all the car minative and restorative properties of lids useful and grateful aro matic, set crated from the ligneous fibre which constitutes the hulk of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity ofthe 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 tn.eight grains of the powder. It is recommended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gouty, Dyspeptic, and Ner vous habits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused throughout the whole system, relieving cramps, spasms, flatulency, pain, and sense of oppressi n 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 in 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 leadhr: members of the profession, have strongly recommended Lactucarium (the inspis sated juice of the garden Lettuce) as possessing peculiarly soothing and quie!ing 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 adopted the form of a lozenge as being the most agreeable mode for its administration.

M one half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense Si right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em .:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un- Amprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness cad social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

IN THE 3IATTER OF THE DIRECT LONDON AND MAN CHESTER RAILWAY COMPANY—EX PARTS Pocock, This was the petition of Mr. Thomas an allottee, praying the dissolution and winding-90 of the above company under the Joint-stock Companies Wind ing -up Act, 1848. The petition stated that the peti tioner had had allotted to him thirty shares, in resp , ct of which he had signed the subscriber's agreement, and paid a deposit of five guineas p e r share, by virtue o, which he became a contributory to the above company; that the project had becom e a b or ti ve; that the directors, in Augus°, 1846, paid a divisfend of 31. 10s. per share among the shareholders, which dividend was paid out of the deposits then in th e i r h an d s, an d t h a t the eetiti?ner participated rateably i n t hi s di v id en d , an d t h a t he received and signed the foll ow i ng cert ifi cate: —" I t b e ing deemed best to wind up the affairs of this company, and the pro visional directors h av i ng sett l e d such a ff a i rs s o far as to enable i them to pay b ac k i mme di ate l y 3 / . 1 0 3 . u p o n every share issued, I concur therein, and consent to receive upon my shares hereund-r described 3/.los. per share, and such other pro rata division of the funds which shall remain after the settlement of all claims and liabilities on the company or the provisional directors, in satisfaction and discharge of such shares." The petitioner stated that he had been informed that a further dividend of 10s. 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 assets and liabilities, and that there were liabilities to a considerable amount for which he was liable, or might be made responsible. Mr. BACON and Mr. J. H. PaLmEa were heard in support of the petition, and insisted on the right of Mr. P cock to an account, notwithstanding the document which had been signed,-and notwithstanding his small interest in the company's affairs, the directors being in law trustees fur the shareholders. Mr. Rolt, Mr. Matins, 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 could not be eruitled to more than the amount ce the subsequent dividend of 10s. per share, which amounted to a sum too trifling to justify the present proceeding. The VICE CHANCELLOR—The small amount of pecu 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. An other circumstance worthy of consideration is the time at which the petition was presented. The time at which the petition i 3 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 ether things, enables the Court to refer it to the Master to make preliminary inquiries as to the necessity or expediency of a dissolution and wind ing-up, or of the winding-up of the company; and in case it should appear from the report, after the reference. that the dissolution and winding-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 —I think it quite clear that the utmost xtent to which the court could by possibily, with pro priety, assist the petitioner on the present occasion would 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 before the Court, ill the opinion of the Court it. is not necessary or expe di, ut that the winding-up of the affairs of the company is necessary or expedient under the Act. And, upon th«e 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 ihnagdur=s!)irzte_dn t h er) plainlypeti t ion i e m r, , p r and o p e t r her e ex hibited on the face of the accounts—l should have dis missed this petition upon the understanding that the se-puedents were willing to indemnify the petitioner from the d'tnand which had been mentioned—between 2.0001. and :3,0001., and pa) ieg him, if he would accept it, the 151. which hus been menti-ned. I consider the respondents are bound to give the undertaking, if the Court requires ir, the act aints Lot 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 accounts. Mr. nettaus said this undertaking would be certainly given. The VICE-CLEANCELLOR — Then lot the accounts be s produced to the petitioner, and let him have he oppor of tunity of examining them, and I. t him have the oppor tunityrttes the accounts remain ( l t , b r m i before gg a presentnt h y e n attention opinion,it ter which the m co ay ur d t. esir u e u upon i po t n l it must be something ,trongly and plainly material upon these accounts of an ..bjectionable 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 again. Orders were then made for a reference, under the Winding up Act, upon petitions against the following companies The Dinct London and Exeter Railway, The Wisheach Peterborough, and Midland Union Railway, The Ipswich, Norwich, and Yarmouth Railway, The &Astern Counties Extension Railway, The C4mbi Lige and Colchester Railway, The Northampton, Lincoln, and Hull Railway.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER A NVUOLE FAMILY.-011 Saturday night last a young man named . Linhatn, who resides near Gore Knap gate, Yeovil, and who is blind and deal, made a desperate attempt at murder. his rather, mother, sister, aid 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, he would, in ell pro bability, have killed the whole of them. On being asked wby he did it, he would give no reason, only that he wanted to kill his f a th er an d b rother. M e di c al aid was immediately procured, b u t we are sorry t o say the mo ther is still in a very d angerous state. The others are going on favourably.

The dispatch of which the following is an extract, and the accompanying papers, have been this day re cdved 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, Stdhatn, April 7, 1849. (Extract). On the 21st ul;imo, Mljor -Gneral Sir Walter Gilbert took possession o f th e c ity of Peshawur. Dust Mahomed Khan had fled with his army on the 19th, and had reached the west'rn side of the Khyber Pass. The city of Peshawur was found uninjured; but must of the garden houses in the neighbourhood had been burnt by the Ail% gbans, and the Seikh cantommist completely destroyed. You are aware, from my dispatch of the 24th ult., that I looked to the occupation of Pcshawur, 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 zeal, achieved, with singular rapidity, the crowning successes of the war. I 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.] THE GOVERNOR- GENERAL TO THE OOMMANDER-IN. CHIEF. Ferozepore, 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 his command, and the retreat of the Ameer Dust Mahomed Khan and his followers beyond the K h l y r b e e ci r u Pass 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 seat has been conducted 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 , remount of the Seikh army, of driving the Affghan 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 Punjaub. LORD GOUGH AND TIIE 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 since October have been in 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 services 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 tide of conquest which heretofore rolled on the Putijaub from the nest has at length reached and over come it from the ea,t; 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 and 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, unfired 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 armies are enga:;ed; but it is in the privations, the difficulties, and endless toils of war that the trial of an army consists; zind it is these which denote its metal and show of what material it is formed. " Since the day when 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 opp..so the progress of our arms, till now. that a crushing and overwin lming victory has prostrated at the teet 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 advrrse chances or circum•tances, a lurking fear of the successful issue, which true constancy and firm ness never fail to attain. " I'he rule which, despite the signal clemency and considerate mercy of the Gov, rnment, it has neverthe less been found at length necessary to impose upon the Sikhs 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 submist,ion and obedience, merits well the highest eulo glum 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 form 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 jamb, will often recur to him in that retirement he is about to seek; and in which the cares, the earnest ex ertions, and grave anxieties inseparable from the duties of high military command, will be richly recompensed i to °lll3d t country, which, in common with she r a e i towusasornvdeees Sovereign gf b iyatnhde unwearied sense .a nodt,.d uncompromisingu ty . devotiona n d . the 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 so ldier, European and Native, of the Army of the Pun jsub, 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 out 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 the wretched crew with the stink-pots which they threw on board before getting alongside. M. Pages only saved his life by jumping overboard and holding on by a rope under _ the quarter until the pirates shoved off. Senor Orense had in his charge the Insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece for the Governor of Manilla, and about 800 dollars in silver, of which the pirates are supposed haveto thebad information, derived from the Chine se servants of house he had ust before left. " Since the j departure of the last mail, her Majesty's steamer Columbine has arrived fromTAhensoFyo,r3a,nd steam Albatross from the coast of sloop has just re turn ed fro m t a s A tr h t i a rin g p a t a. s o h t w n o h r e t r h e e r s n h p e o h r a t s d . She met the Mariner , 16, a recently arrived from the Loochoo Islands, with the crew of a whaler shipwrecked there some time ago. the 18th instant Cap tain Moore and Lieutenant In olland, of the Royal Marines of her Majesty's ship Hastings, with fifty-two privates of the same corps elected from the smaller ships, were sent up to Canton in her Majesty's steamer Medea, for the pro tection of our countrymen there, in compliance with a requisition to that effect, and are now on board the Hon. Company's steamer Phlegethon, moored off the factories, to be ready to act in vase of necessity. What events the opening of the gates on the 6th of April may bring about, it is impossible to guess with any approach to certainty; but numerous inflammatory placards, calling on the celestials 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 walls. Seu 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 (and I may add probably ill-founded) apprehension of the merchants and other gentlemen residing in the fac tories. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, MAY 23.—There is a fair arrival of wheat, and but little of other grain. For wheat we have a very limited demand at about last week's prices.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, Mast 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 also. 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 confined to the supply of the local demand, wh ch is very contracted. The sales made to day have barely supported the reduced rates of last week. Barley but little in offer; the malting season having closed, there is but little (lemma, at about late rates. Beans, short supply, and is to 2sper qr. dearer. Oats and Peas, with a mo derate supply, unaltered in value. LIVERPOOL, MAY 23.—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 Teas 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 amou,.t 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. Fat beef must be quoted 8s to 8s 9d, and in-some instances a shade higher than this. 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 121 each, which was thougl.t too high, and they were not sold. There was a fair supply of steers, which sold at from LO/ to 251 per couple. Good barreners were snore in request, and the freshest sold at 58 to 5s 3d per score. Some lots of tidy North Devon yearlings were sold at from 3/ to 41 each. From : 0 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 5d per lb. The best small fat wether, in their wool, were worth sid to 6d per lb ; naked fat hogs, about 5d to 5i.1 ; ewes, 5d ; lambs, 6i I to 73 ; store hogs. 25s to 30s each ; couples, 31s to 355. Pork Carcases—There was a large supply, which, during the early part of the morning, sold at 7s 63 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 61 per score. Pannier—Ducklings, 44 to be per couple; spring chickens, 2s 6,1 to 4s butter, 93 to 10,1 per lb; eggs, 2:1 for Is ; goose. berries, 4tl per quart ; asparagus, Is to 4s per hundred ; rhu barb, lid to 3d. per lb ; lettuce, id to Id each ; new potatoes.

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 6a 3d have been the rul ing prices. Belgian white wheat, 150 s per quarter. French ditto, 4Rs ; red ditto, 445, barley, 4s per bushel; oats_ '2s 6d to 2s 1113 ; 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 present currency. In refined goods we have no material alteration to notice. Rum continues very dull. —Bristol Mercury.

ROYAL SPORT.—MADRID, MAY 18.—The long talked-of match between the Bengal tiger and the bull, which has occupied so much a tt ent i on , even of royalty: has just come off, and ended in the defeat and death of the eastern savage. 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 th e b u ll, b ut t h e liv te r plunged his horn into his adversary's head, and laid him sprawling on the ground completely def ea t e d. The bull then walked round the circus, regardi ng th e p u bli c triumphantly. The tiger was dispatch e d w i t h d ogs; 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 STANFIELD-HALL MURDERS TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, —Knowing the anxiety of the publi c to ascer t a i n 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 had 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 Oakcs 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. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JcIIN W. P. FIELD, for Parker, Field, and Sons, gunmakers, 233, High Holborn. May 25. To THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. 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 whcle 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, inasmuch as they presented difficulties which we had neither means nor authority to surmount. The Potash Farm was in the occupation of Mr. James Rush, and not of his father. Up 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 farm, and placed 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 decided 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 standing. 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 he 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 should be removed until previous notice bad been given to the police. This condition was faithfully ob terved 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 bri fly this—a memorandum had iy en found amongst the papers of Rush, indicating par ticular spots in the farm-) and 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 pi operty it was dis covered. I think it right to 9pprize you, that what has been de scribed as a shed was scantily s:auding in the farm-yard, and was composed of nothing more than a few long wooden uprights, supporting a canopy or roof, under which-the cattle took shelter, and w( re also ftd. That I have kern condemned for having done too much in the dif.eharge of my late duty I am snare; but to be cen sured for having done vio little is what I could never have anticipated, even from the malice of an cnt my. With many apologies fur this intrusion, I am, Sir, your ol:ndient servant, MCI:IA - AD MONTAGUE °Arms, Chief Constable for Norfolk. Dunham, near Swaffham, 1849. DANISH BLOCKADE.—PLYMOUTLI, MAT 24.—The brig Arco, Captain Clark, under the flag of the Equa torian Republic, which sailed from this post on the 9th inst., arrived at Hamburgh on the I i th, 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 Hermino has also since proceeded on. There are now in this port six Hamburgh, 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 CHESTER.—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 purses° 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 (let a permanent council, in order that the field might be taken in earnest.—(Hear, hear.) lie should explain the course which they intended to pursue for the future. They proposed to send out com petent persona 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, heur.) 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 fur 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 beappointed to carry out the objects of the Manchester Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association, Mr. G. Wilson to be chairman, Mr. Rawson to be treasurer, and Mr. J. Hieken secretary. The Hon. Gentleman addressed the meeting at considerable length, showing the necessity for a large ex t e nsion of the franchise, and a reduct ion of the p resent extravagant J. C.

The narrative of the facts is as follows :--A number of gentlemen belong ing to the Nautilus Club had spent the day on the 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. The whole of the crew (with the exception of Mr. James, who clung to the boat), were overturned into the water, and Mr. Doleman was never afterwards seen alive. After considerable difficulty five of the crew were got out. Mr. James, who still 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 pro::eed ing 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 ;he Studs were tor 4 frog) his .hint.
