PUBLICATIONS. NOW PUBLISHING, E Liza COOK'S JOURNAL, A WEEKLY PERIODICAL, PRICE TIIREE-lIALPPENCE, CONTAINING LITERARY MATTER of INFORMATION and AMUIEMENT. The First Volume cf ELIZ.A. COOK'S JOURNAL Is now com pleted, and the Froprietor takes this opportuni , y of expressing her sense of the honourable and coveted position which a generous Public has placed her in. Many difficulties beset the path of a young Journalist which a little experience removes, and most earnest thanks are proffered for the kind indulgence bestowed on the errors which have occasionally marked the Editorial and Practical Departments. The best proof of the Editor's feeling will be fbund in her endeavours to render the Journal far more worthy of the flattering patronage it receives, and without any fallacious boast, she can promise her Readers a future supply of sound and valuable matter. The most gratifying circumstance attending the extensive circula tion and cordial reception of the Journal has been in provilag that a large reading public can be tound for a cheap Serial who do not require unhealthy excitement and mere ephemeral entertainment to gain their attention. Right glad has the Editor been to see that her plain and simple wish to elevate the morals and invigorate the mind, has been graciously received : for, though amusement is one of the chief essentials, not only of periodical literature, but of our wi.ole lives, it should' ever be blended wills a principle and purpose tending to advance humanity. From the cheering encouragement already received, the Editor trusts fully to her friends for the future, and has equal pride and plea , ure in presenting her First Volume as a Journalist to those whose generous perceptions stamped her first attempt as a Poet.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIP. No doubt the reader would esteem it strange, If Moses' Muse forgot the Coal Exchange ; And, therefore, as the Queen's to come, greet her, By writing on the coals a little metre. Iffy burning loyalty I cannot smother, Nor yet exchange this subject for anothe-. The Queen, no doubt, will find her subjects give her A very warm reception on the river. Success, I say, to that commercial scheme Whose memorable opening forms my theme ; For, oh I each portion of the pile is rife, With fond ideas of home and homely life. And now, shall I be quitting the sublime, By introducing Moses in my rhyme ? No : Moses, who have long enjoyed control, Are nobs in trade—l don't mean knobs of coal. Moses and Son's attire is so well made : That it has long ensured a flare-up trade. Mores and Son, whose words ne'er end in smoke, Dave given monopoly a timely poke; May I not add, too, that the Coal ExCiango I' not by any means the sole Exchange ? Moses and Son at their Depot arraege, To exchange your goods without a word's exchange; And hence it is that such a stir is made By Messrs. Moses in their flaming trade. LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE.

GREAT MEETING AT MANCHESTER. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) MANCHESTER, FRIDAY. Last night a crowded meeting was held iu the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, to receive the report of the delegates to the Peace Congress at Paris, and to meet a foreign deputation consisting of M. Horace Say, Coun cillor of State, M. Francesque Bouvet, M. Bastiat. Members of the Chamber of Deputies; M. Ponton4, M. Guillauwin, editor of the Journal des Economistes; M. Joseph Gamier, secretary of the Paris Peace Congress. On the platform were John Bright, Esq., M.P., E. Fry, Esq., Sir Elkanah Armitage, President Mahon, of Oberlin College, United States, and many influential gentlemen of the neighbourhood. Ricdard Cobden, Esq., M.P., as unavoidably prevented from being present. The chair was taken at a little after seven o'clock by George Wilson, Req. The French deputation on their appearance were greeted with repeated cheering. • The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that for some years it had often afforded him great pleasure to see this hail crowded with persons intent upon obtain ing information upon most of the great questions of the day; and he might say that speeches had been delivered in this hail which had exercised an influence throughout the world; yet he thought no meeting heretofore had been held there which would have a greater effect upon future generations than the present one. They had met to night to show that whatever cries Governments might raise for national defences, there were in the country men of no small influence who thought that pro. per understanding might be preserved by better means than by those which Governments had hitherto used. This was the third meeting this week at which the forelgn gentlemen presented themselves; this was the third meeting in England which had arisen out of that glorious Peace Congress at i'aris held this year. He need not allude to the rapid progress of peace principles. Some time ago we had been terrified by letters showing that there was great danger that a French fleet would sail up the Thames some fine morn ing and run away with the Queen and the Lord Mayor. Well, their fears had come to pass, an army of French had invaded our shores, but instead of running away with the Queen they had sent us their King.—(Laugh ter.) They had dined at the Mansion-house, but he did not know that the First Magistrate had been in any great fear during the repast. The peace question was one which would very soon have to be grappled with by the Government; it would press upon them for settlement in its moral and in its financial bearing. There were great numbers of men in the country who now thought that there were better uses to which to apply the muscle and sinew of our population than to employ them in aggressive war, other methods of employing surplus capital than in laying it out on cannon-balls, other duties for our clergy than to call upon them to degrade their religion by consecrating the colours of the regi ments. The two great nations represented here had often led the van in the field of battle, but he hoped from this time forth that they would do all they could toge ther to repair the injuries which they had done to society. It would cost millious to raise up another Wellington or another Napoleon. It was time then to turn to other methods of Employing the energies of the two nations, and the results of such co operation would not be reckoned by the number of slain, nor by the millions of debt, but by the universal benefits conveyed to society. Liters were then read from Victor Hugo, Lattartine, tha Archbishop of Paris, Girardin, editor of La Presse, excusing themselves from being present on this occasion, owing to political engagements. The names of these gentlemen, especially that of M. de Lamartine, were received with enthusiastic applause. _ _ _ Mr. EDMUND Fair then came forward and said— It was pleasant to him to have to speak of the great kindness which had been shown to the Eng. lish and American delegates to the Peace Congress by the French Government and people. The Peace Congress committee had now been organized one year, to which two duties had been committed. First, that of instituting a series of operations in support of Mr. Cobden's projected motion in the House for the substitution of arbitration treaties for war. Meetings in pursuance of this duty had been held all over the country, and the consequence was that more than a thousand petitions had been poured into the House in support of those principles. A great effect had been produced upon the House by these petitions, and on the motion being brought;Jorward, eighty-one Members voted in Mr. Cobden's minority. The second duty, to make arrangements for the holding of a Peace Congress at Paris, which had been suggested by the Congress at Brussels the year before. Certainly t!lo Times news paper had attempted to sneer them down,but the friends of peace wero not to be put down by such means, and the committee continued to make its arrangements, and Mr. Elihu Burrit and Mr. Richards proceeded to Paris to endeavour to institute a sympathy there, notwithstand ing that they had been told that the French people were so essentially a war-loving people, and their errand was a fruitless one. But, in truth, on try ing the pulse of the principal men in Franco, they encountered more encouragement than they had dared to hope. In July, these gentlemen paid a second visit t Paris Paris riw atth aaut time thoiity in a state forholdingaCo o n i gre s s ig s e ,a e s . Having obtained this from M. Dupont, Minister of the Interior, they received from him, as well as from M. de Tocqueville, the assurance of the highest sympathy. Tho consequence was that 700 delegates from England and America were ready to attend the Congress in Paris. These gentlemen were received by the French Government with the highest demonstrations of respect and confidence. During the whole three days which the Congress lasted not one incident occurred to disturb the general harmony. The result was that three resolutions were arrived at, the first expressing that the war system was utterly opposed to the principles of justice, humanity, and religion ; the second, that the principle of arbitra tion should be adopted by all nations, instead of war; and thirdly, as a result of the other two, that all nations should proceed to a general and simultaneous disarming. The whole Congress had passed off amid the universal respect and admiration of the French people. He believed that if the Congress had dune nothing more, they had done this—they had pre vented the Government of France and the Government of England ever going to war with each other. They had brought a new element into the settlement of all international disputes for evermore. He asked the foreign gentlemen now present to tell the French people, when they returned to their own country, that for the future, when any point of dispute arose, and they were told by their newspapers that it could not be settled except by war, to tell them, from what they had seen in this c )untry, that there was a spirit growing up here which would prevent for the future any sudden or hasty return to the iniquitous system which had so long prevailed; that there was a spirit growing in this coun try which was better expressed by two lines iu a song known over all the country — Let those who make the quarrels Be the only men to fight." The first resolution—" That this meeting desiring international arbitration as a substitute for the un- Christian system of liar, disapproving of loans for the prosecution of war, and believing that tbo permanent prosperity of nations cannot be secured but by a general disarmament, rejoices to hear of the signal success which attended the European Peace Congress lately held at Paris, and of the unanimity which pre vailed in the deliberations of that large assembly"--was then moved by Mr. A. Prentice, and seconded by Mr. Alderman Harvey, the delegates from Manchester to the Paris Peace Congress. After the resolution had been put and curried, _ _ _ Mr. BRIGHT. M.P., came forward amid repeated cheers. lie thought that the English 'Topic were emi nently a practical people, and yet if they 'Acre to believe the dicta of certain wiseacres, the English people had of late become a very visionary race, seeking after all manner of impossible things which they ;never could hope to attain. In London and Birmingham the principle of peace had been rapturously and enthusiastically re ceived by thousands of this practical people. The ques tion was worth asking whether the present object which they were pursuing was visionary or not, whether it was one they could ever obtain. Every morn ing the newspapers published whht they called " leaders," but which he thought were now got to be followers, and he believed that as far as leaders went, the public press had much less influence over the public mind than it bad before this time. The friends of the peace movement came before the public in a more favourable position than any others, inasmuch as they advocated a question which all men allowed to be a blessing. What was their experience of war ? Blood without reckoning, treasure without reckoning, wasted industry, poverty, taxes, and crime. One-half of the gaols of England, one-half; of the poor-houses in the land, were the monuments of the wars of the last fifty years—.wars between this country and France. The principles of peace which were advocated here to night had made such progress in this country and in America, that he believed it was impassible that war ever could arise upon any small question; but still, if there were a treaty of arbitration between the two countries, the war would be rendered actually impos sible. Armies and fleets wero now only kept up on pretence; but if the arbitration scheme were adopted, what minister or what statesman would ever dare to keep up armaments for the purpose of settling questions which it had already been deter mined should be settled in another manner. When armaments were put down, thete would be more chance of the spread of liberty. For look now at the state of Europe. What was their state? Did kings rule? Did the people ? No, the armies. And so it would ever be, while the present system was continued. lie had had put into his bands a resolution regarding the foreign gentlemen here present, and in reading it over he could as ha u d rz; c e o d m a e s over e c r h a b r i g m e ate frogs, and it n si o n t ee hel h p is thcihnikldihngoowd,hawt haeachiatngwe was conffilently affirmed that one Englishman was worth against the French that they ten Frenchmen. He hoped that the people of Man cheater would give to the gentlemen who had visited them from France that welcome which they so well knew how to give. (The meeting here rose and cheered enthusiastically for several minutes.) He could tell the gentlemen that if they went further north, thoy Mould find as enthusiastic a welcome there as they had here found. And he hoped that when they returned they would be able to tell their country men that there was a spirit abroad in England which might be expressed in the words which had been put by an English dramatist into the mouth of a French statesman— " Take away the sword; states can be saw(' without it." The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the second reso:ution—" That this meeting rejoices in the oppor tunity of welcoming our French brethren to the manu facturing metropolis, and of acknowledging to them per sonally the fraternal reception given to the English dole gates at Paris by the Government and the people, and expresses a confident belief that conferences such as these will powerfully tend to remove long-cherished feelings of hostile rivalry, and to fuse all nations into one peaceful brotherhood." M. NEEDieem seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN then introduced the deputies from France, who were each, on their appearance, received with three distinct rounds of applause. M. Honece SAY then came forward, an d sa id, i t h a d given him and the other members of the deputation great pleasure to receive the invitation to a tt en d t hi s meeting, though it was somewhat mingled with regret that they had not been enabled t o b e introd uce d b y Richard Cobden. He was proud to meet the people of Manchester, who bad been f o re mos t i u a ll th e great questions of civil and religious liberty, in this palace of free trade. France like England was now beading under an accumulated weight of debt, the fruits and in heritance of a long series of wars; increased also by the consequences of keeping up an arm y an d nav y fit f or war in a time of peace. War had never been profitable to France. In endeavouring to put down piracy, France had been conducted to the north coast of Africa, and had taken possession of Algiers. For twenty years they had been sending annually to that country 20,000 men and millions of francs to no good. Truly, the Ministers every year had congratulated the country upon the ( peeing of a fresh market for their manufactures. But what sort of a market was it? They had certainly been w rs i , tb bu th t e t i b r e o y w w n e m re on m ey a : n Sendinguf act ur s u sent out along with the manufacturers. This would always w t m bi a u n b u t f b a e c y tu b r a e d s t t o o A b l u g y ie be the fruit oesuch conquests. He was .rejoiced to meet this assembly of Manchester men, because it contradicted the line of a French poet who said, that " common sense was exceedingly rare." M. F. BASTIAT then came forward, and said he dared say that they all had heard of the dumb child who, seeing his father in trouble, had been so much moved that he had burst his bonds, and cried " Father, take care." He was in a similar state; he could only say " Englishmen, I thank you from the bottom of my heart." Eight years had elapsed since the right of search question had called up the papers of b o th countries, and two years ago a ridiculous cry of French invasion had been raised, and who would have believed that this year 500 Frenchmen would visit England, and that in the presence of such a large meeting, a body of Frenchmen should bo so enthusiastically eceised ? They had been called Utopian, but he thought that all the auguries were in their favour. They were in the place where the great Anti- Corn- law League had been established, they had one of the heroes of the campaign, Mr. Bright, they deeply regretted the absence of Mr. Cobden, and were not the proceedings of this even ing presided over by Mr. Wilson, the chairman of the League. They had the same battle-field, and ho did not see any reason why they should not have the same triumph. M. GARNIER then proceeded to add: ess the meeting in French to the effect that ho regretted not being sufficiently versed in English to address the meeting in that language ; but he was so far competent as to catch some expressions which fell from the chairman, respecting the flight of Louis Phi lippe to England, and his mind had instantly reverted to the causes of that event—a reckless expendi ture in the instruments of war, in the absurd fortifications which might yet perhaps be used to build houses. The philosophers of France dui.- leg the last century had examined the prin ciples of commercial liberty, but it had remained for Manchester to show that commercial liberty was not an Utopian idea. He deplored.the existence of en armed peace. During his three days visit in England he had gone from wonder to wonder, and the greatest of all seemed to him to be this meeting.—(Elear, hear.) He regretted that the greatest poets of France, Victor Hugo, Lamartine, and Beranger, all friends of peace, were not present a t t hi s mee ting, to emb o dy thi s meet ingin a glorious ode, which should take the place of the " Rule Britannia" and " Marseillaise." Mr. POTONIER next addressed the meeting in French to this effect:—He was happy and proud to .fiad himself in the Temple of Proe Trade, and in a oity which had secured commercial freedom for this country,and perhaps for all the world. There were individuals in France who could appreciate the brightness of the idea, because it was associated with the ideas of progress and liberty. Light was beginning to penetrate France, and even as far as some of the greatest Protectionists in the Cham ber, for one of that party bad lately moved for the im portation of English printed goods, not for the use of French ladies, but for purposes of re-exportation. He looked forward with great pleasure to the exposition of arts which was contemplated in England. He concluded by wishing prosperity to the interests of England. Dr. BEARD moved " That this meeting, considering the greatness of the work to be accomplished, calls upon all patriots and Christians for renewed personal and pe cuniary assistance, in the prosecution of the efforts for the abolition of the system of war." He wished to express to the meeting the deep gratification they had given to him, by flocking together to welcome their friends from the other side of the Channel. It had been said that this was a magnificent spectacle, 'but strangers did net know what a magnificent spectacle was—if he were to say that thel wealth of Manchester, the science, and the intelligence, he was sure no ono would be able to contradict it. In this audience, he fancied he could see what would soon be the case, not in Manchester, or England, or in France, but all over the world—countenances and mind s which would disdain to appeal to brute force to settle all the disputes which might arise among them. Good men were generally in the minority; but when they appealed to bad means for a good:( nd, they put themselves on a level with the majority. He thought that moral force alone, which was divine and came from God, was irresistible. President Meteme, of the Oberlin College, Ohio, Uni ted States, se ended the resolution. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the large meeting separated at a late hour. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. NOTIFICATION. FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 1, 1849.

He entered the navy November 7, 1822 ; passed his examination 1830, and was promoted July, 1837. As a lieutenant, he commanded the Algerine, 10, at China. In that vessel he obtained mention for his zeal and alacrity at the capture of Chu san, in July, 1840. In the attack made upon Can ton in Alarch, 1841, he enacted a very conspicuous part, as he subsequently did in the operations re newed in the following May against that place, and subsequently aided in the capture of Amoy. He was appointed to command the Medea, steam-sloop, January, 1847, and took her to the East Indies and China, and was removed to the acting command of the Melampus, 42, on the late Captain Campbell invaliding, and that ship he paid off about two months since.

NICOLL, can recommend as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can he seen at 114, 116, and 120, Regent•street, and 22, Cornhitl, as also THE TREBLE Garment, or I'ALETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the characteristics of the famed Paletot (registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65) in its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible from a warm to a light Overcoat, or vice versa, at the pleasure of the wearer, or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re quire. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre ciated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in this variable climate.

The Serpent, 12, Commander Barker, went out of harbour and anchored at Spithead this (afternoon. She will sail, it is said, on Sunday, for the East India station. She will not touch at the Cape. We regret to announce a melancholy accident which occurred on Wednesday to 'the son of Mr. Harvey, the esteemed secretary to Rear-Admiral Prescott, of this dockyard. The young gentleman was amusing himself in the fields of Fratton shooting birds; and having occasion to cross a fence was im prudent enough (notwithstanding the numerous fatal examples of the consequences of such an act) to drag his gun at full cock after him. A twig caught the lock, and discharged the contents of the gun into the left shoulder of the inexperienced sportsman, inflict ing dreadful injuries to his person. He lies in a highly precarious state at the house of his father, receiving the m )st skilful surgical assistance from the medical staff of the dockyard and others.

The masts of all the advance ships are to be taken out, and sent into the yard for examination. her Majesty's 'steam-frigate Firebrand, Captain Knox, came in this morning from Portsmouth. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have advised Mr. Henry J. Waring, agent for the schooner Eliza, of Newport, that the sum of 541 135. Bd. has been allowed for loss through detention of that schooner while undergoing repairs, caused by being struck by her Majesty's steamer Volcano, off Plymouth, on the 27th of September. This sum is in addition to all the cost of a thoruugh repair. Wind, S.E. CHATHAM, Nov. 2.—The Bacchante, 42 guns, re• cently returned from the quarantine service at Stand gate-creek, is to be retained at this port for harbour service.

RELATING TO THE PILOTAGE AND DIRECTIONS FOR ENTERING RANGOON RIVER. Rangoon, Aug. 21, 1849. Sir, —I beg your acceptance of the inclosed copy of Sailing Directions for e n tering Rangoon River. (Signed', C. M. CRISP. Captain G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's. DIRECTIONS FOR ENTERING RANGOON (By C. M. Crum) Ships bound to Rangoon, iu either monsoon, should make the laud ten to twelve miles southward of the Elephant Point. The coast being very low, will not be seen until in 41 to 4i fathoms at low water. Thirteen miles south of the Etephant Point there are two or three straggling Palmyra trees, which are a certain mark to know the land, as there are no trees of this kind farther to the southward. Immediately after these arc seen two L remarkably tall Palmyra trees will be seen. (Since the .3 written, in June lass, the tops:c re not on, it is possible they may havtfibi I'y -- e l: a ovtefalle are n severaloff from treesresemble h tall l t e i P: a e t t int ie hy c e t r s a m o 7, . rE,f,sl, -oi, ,hant Point, and a small Pagoda, brie conspicuous, on account of some bushy tre. , __ it. The remarka!ile branch that resembled the trunk of an elf•phant has broken or has been blown down. The Eastern Grove or Pilot Bush is the northernmost, high bushy trees on the east side of the river, it is easy to make out, and is the only good mtuk to proceed into the river between the spit sand, and the one-and-half fathom bank. Having brought the Elephant to bear N. by W., bring the Pilct Bush to gear N. E., and keep it on this bearing until the Elephant is brought to bear W.N.W., when haul to the N.W. into the river. As you bring the Elephant to bear to the westward of N. by W. you will deepen into seven f at h oms or more on the flood tide, and when Elephant bears N.W. by W. W., being then in the narrowest part of the channel, you will shoalen into five fathoms and again deepen into six or seven fathoms inside the river. At low water you will not have less than three and a half fathoms in the channel with the above hearing of the Pilot Bush. With the Pilot Bush N. 4 E:, Elephant N.W. by W. f W. you are on the edge of the Spit; with the Pilot Bush N. 4- E., Elephant N.W. by W. f W. you are on the edge of the one-and-half fathom bank; with Pilot Bush N. to N. 4 W. you are on this bank with the same bearings of the Elephant. Having entered the river, keep on the west side to avoid an extensive mud flat that runs out half the river's width from the east side ; being abreast of Bssseen Creek on the west side, you must edge over to the east ern side to avoid the De Silva Sand, situated about one third from the western side, and directly abreast of a stockade on the same side of the river ; while you avcid this danger (which has If fathom at low water), you must be careful not to get set into Choke Bight, where the tide sets very strong, and the water very deep, 16 to 17 fathoms. Having passed the Chokey, the river be comes more narrow, but it is free of danger ; being abreast of the stockade on the point above the Chokey, and on the same hank of the river, keep on the cast side of the river, to avoid the same sand that runs parallel with the western bank, from the commencement of the Dallah high trees to Dallah point ; w htn Rangoon Reach is well open, haul to the westward to pass between the north end of the Lam Sand and the Nesting Saud. This sand is situated at the junction of the Pegue and Rangoon Reach, and extends some distance up the Rangoon Reach. The You c-thet high trees kept a quarter of a ship's length open south of the King's Wharf is a good leading mark for this channel. Having passed this danger, you can steer to anchor at discretion abreast of the flag-staff. ItEmanks.—During the springs in the S.W. monsoon it at times blows very strong, A tun great care should be taken not to get eastward (in cloudy weather) of the middle ground between which and the Zingut Moun tains or Mertaban shore the sands extend a long way to seaward, over which the Bore rushes with the flood, which makes it very dangerous when near them. As a general remark, applicable to the whole coast from Am herst to Point Pollan, when the position of a ship is not known, and you get into hard sounding, you should haul to the southward to get into soft sounding. While in soft sounding, with good anchor and cable judiciously used, a ship will seldom drive on the flood tide, unless it blows a gale of wind, which is seldom known on this coast.

SUPPLY OF MILK TO LONDON.—The London and North-Western Company have made arrangements for the carriage of milk from Willesden, Sudbury, Pinner, Aylesbury, and other numerous places on their line. They engage to bring it for ld. a gallon from Willesden and other places classed together; lid. per gallon from Cheddington and other places classed. Milk sells in London for ls. 4d. a gallon. We do not know exactly the price of milk in the several places named, but, judg ing from the price of it in other country places, we bhould say it is not higher than Bd, a gallon, or half the London price. The cost of carriage will admit of a large profit in London, even under reduced London prices. Farmers and cowkeepers will find an inexhaustible market for their milk, at a price which, beforo the ex istence of the arrangement just made, they could not hope to obtain; and the inhabitants of the metropolis will have the advantage of having country supplies as though they were living in the country.—Herepatles Journal. FATAL ACCIDENT AT CAMBRIDGE.-011 Wednes day evening last Mr. Ord, of Caius College, and a friend, were taking horse exercise between Swaffham and Bottisham, in this county ; they had started on their re turn home about dusk, when Mr. Orde, who is rsbort sighted, either thinking he saw something in his road, or mistaking the way, suddenly pulled his horse, which was doing a good puce, round on to a bank on the side. The animal stopped short, and rigidly setting his fore-legs, flung Mr. Orde from his seat. Assistance was immediately rendered by his friend ; the unfortunate gentleman was taken up and found to be insensible. The first medical aid was procured in all haste from Cam bridge, and Mr. Orde was found to be labouring under a concussion of the brain, from which he never rallied, and died on Thursday evening. Mr. Orde was a son of Mr. and Lady Orde, of Ryde Castle, Isle of Wight, and the occurrence was rendered morn distressing from the fact of Mr. Orde, senior, being in such a delicate state as to preclude his presence at Cambridge. The horse was Mr. Orde's own property, and usually a quiet animal. THE EX-POLICEMAN AT THE MANSION-HOUSE.— With reference to a statement made by William Traflord, a❑ ex-policeman, at the Mansion-house, on Thursday, the Ist inst., before Alderman Carden, we have caused inquiry to be made into the alleged circumstances. The statement bears an imputation or neglect, if not injustice, towards a deserving man by the heads of the metropoli tan police force; but we are informed that Trafford joined in October, 1543, and after completing a service of five years, proved incapable of discharging the duties of his office, and that he resigned in June last, and re ceived a gratuity of 20/. by order of the Secretary of State. We aro also informed that this l an's unfitness aroso from a chronic inflammatory condition of tho veins of the legs, proceeding from constitutional causes, and not from any injuries received at the fire at Camden town; and that his conduct did not entitle him to a certi ficate of good conduct in the police; he, therefore, onfy received a certificate of his having resigned according to the regulations of the service.—Times. SWEARING IN 01' THE LORD MAYOR ELECT.— Alderman Farncombe, the Lord Mayor Elect, proceeded shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning, frdm the Guildhall to the residence of the Lord Chancellor, to be sworn in before his Lordship. The Lord Mayor Elect was preceded by one of the City Marshals, the City Pleaders, Under-Sheriffs, City Remembrancer, the Town Clerk, and other civic functionaries. The Lord Chan cellor signified to the worthy Alderman her Majesty's approbation of the choice of the citizens; and, after having been sworn in, the Alderman, and those who ac companied him, withdrew. NEW HIGII PRESSURE STEAM GAUGE -- This gauge, which is more particularly applicable to locomo tives and high pressure engines, is the invention of Mr. Wrather, and consists simply of a small plunger, tinted steam-tight into a cylinder, the upper part of the plunger passing through a spiral spring, to which it is attached, and having connected to it a hand to indicate the pres sure, which hand is made to revolve on the rise of the plunger, and poiets to a number on a circular plate , quivalent to the pressure. Thn whole is extremely simple, and can be placed under lock and key; and, by an improvement recently introduced, is made to register on a card the variations of pressure in a boiler during a day's work. The necessity for an efficient, portable, ac curate pressure gauge, to show in a clear manner to an unobservant workman the amount of force in a high pressure boiler, is a desideratum long looked for by those who desire to diminish the risk of loss of life and limb.— Architect and Building Operative. TRIAL BY LOT WITH A JURY AT LEEDS.—A young female named Leggot, of respectable connexions, and whose father keeps a music shop in Leeds, was tried at the Leeds Borough Sessions, which terminated on Monday last, on the charge of stealing a violin from the s hop of Mr. Muff, a gentleman engaged in the came trade. The jury wrangled about the verdict for upwarOs of three hours without being able to come to a Cecision, and then, in order to avoid being locked up all day on t er m o i nel three t o jurors who w the point by ro by lot. t It . was etShguernierdeado3Pi determined one that ions shuld draw t wo p i eces of .quill green up unequal length, and that if the short piece came out first the verdict should be guilty, and if the long one it should 13.3 not guilty. The short eiece happening to be first drawn, the jury at once walked into court, and upon their oaths, which bound them to return a true verdict according to the evidence, pronounced the pri soner guilty. Under the recommendation of the Re corder, who presided at the trial, the fact, embodied in the affidavits of three of the jurymen, has been sent to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with a memorial praying for his interference in the matter. FOREIGN CIIESNUTS.—Very large importations of chesnuts have commenced taking place, from Frano3 especially, and also from the Channel Islands and other placs. The vessel George, from St. Malo, has brought 18 tons weight; the Pearl, from St. Maio, 15 tons; the Carolinda, from Redon (France), 30 tons; the Augus tine, from Redon, 37 tons; the Spy, from St. Melo, 15 tons; and the No Joke, from St Melo, an entire cargo of this production of nut, the produce of France and the Channel Islands mentioned. The chesnuts now im ported are of a remarkable large size, and find quality, and it is remarked that those brought at the present time from Franco are the largest ever imported into this country from that or any other foreign state.
