The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, the Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis puting a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a Specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of business. It was the last Court of the mayoralty. THE CEREMONY OF OPENING THE COAL EXCHANGE. Alderman SIDNEY said, he wished to put a question to the Lord Mayor. It appeared that his Lordship had, on the 30th of October, upon the occasion of opening the Coal Exchange, preceded Prince Albert, carrying the city sword, a ceremony exclusively con • fined to cases in which the person of the Sovereign was concerned. From the best sources to which he could apply for informAtion as to the practice, he had learned that the practice to which he alluded had been i c n o n fi t h r e m ed reign by a celebrated n c 111. Now, iaoccurred sd object hi calling his Lordship's attention to the circumstance was that he might ascertain whether such a proceed ing as the Lord Mayor had thought proper to adopt was to be drawn into a precedent ? The LORD MAYOR said, he was sure he could not answer that question ; but he could inform the Court that the ceremoni a l o f th e dky was'entirely conducted by the Remembrancer, and that the particular cere mony adverted to had had the sanction of that officer. Sir P. LAURIE said, the question had been very much agitated in the mayoralty of Sir James Shaw, who had asserted the privileges of the mayoralty on a memorable occasion. He considered the matter of privilege, involved in the observance of ceremonials in the case of the representative of the Sovereign, was one of great importance, and he should, there fore, move that the subject 'be referred to a com mittee with directions to examine and report as to its merits. The motion, seconded by Alderman SIDNEY, was unanimously agreed to. The Remembrancer was not in court at the mo• ' meat the subject ,of the ceremonial was entertained, but he entered soon afterwards, and stated to several of the members who questioned him, while other matters were under discussion, that his Lordship had I misapprehelAed his meaning. THE REFUSAL OF THE SOLICITOR TO THE MINT TO THE COURT-MARTIAL AT NOT TINGHAM. NOTTINGHAM BARRACKS, THURSDAY.--At half past four yesterday afternoon, a dispatch, which had that day been received from the Horse-Guards, was read in court. The sentences of the following priso ners were affirmed. We have appended at length the particulars of some of the more important cases : Private Edward Smithson, charged with breaking out of barracks, when confined thereto, on the 16th of October, 1849, and with not returning until the I9:h of the same month —Three months' imprisonment. Private Robert Reuben William Pearce pleaded not guilty, first, to the charge of breaking out of Notting ham barracks, when confined thereto, on or about the 17th of the same month; and, secondly, to the charge of escaping from a party sent in search of him at Nottingham, after he had surrendered himself on cr about the 15th October. Sergeant John Newman was orderly -sergeant on the 14th of October, at Nottingham barracks. On calling over the roll for evening stables on that day, found that the prisoler, who was confined to barred- s at the time, was absent. Did not see the prisoner afterwards until the following evening, when he (Pearce) was ordered to surrender to a piquet com manded by Lieutenant Robinson, at the Navigation Inn, Trent-lane, about three miles from Nottingham barracks. The prisoner did surrender himself, but afterwards effected his escape. Pearce was a prisoner in the regimental guard-room at the barracks when he next saw him. The prisoner had nothing to sty in his defence. There were no former convictions against Pearce ; bis general character is good.—Fifty-six days' hard labour. Charles Peters was charged with absenting himself without leave, having been previously . warned for duty from a party ordered to parade at sir o'clock on the evening of the 15th of October, at Nottingham barracks, and with not returning until on or about the 17th of the same month; also with escaping from a party sent in search of him and others, and to which he had surrendered himself at Nottingham on or about the 16th of October, 1849. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Sergeant John Newman said he was on a piquet ordered to parade, under command of Adjutant Ro binson, at 6, P.M., on the 15th of October, at Notting ham barracks. On parading the men for that day the prisoner, who had been duly warned by him, was absent ; a piquet, of which witness was one, pro ceeded into the town in search of the men absent from the regiment, and saw the prisoner with several others in the Navigation Inn public-hcuse, Trent-lane. Peters surrendered himself, being ordered to do so by Sergeant Robinson, and afterwards made his escape. Did not see him again until the morning of the 18th of Weber, when he was a prisoner in the barrack regiment guard-room. A NOVELTY for the approaching season is in L'3l preparation to which a distinguishing name has not yet been given, but which the inventors, Messrs. NICOLL, can recommend as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can be seen at 114, 116, and 120, Regent street, and 22, Comilla, as also THE TREBLE Garment, or PALETOT, called TILE NICOLL, which retains all the characteriatics 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 NICOLL has been secured by Royal Letters Patent in ENGLAND. IRELAND, SCOTL I.ND, and the COLONIES; it can, therefore, only be purchased in the country, or abroad, of Messrs. NICOLL'S (the patentees) recognised AGENT.; and in LONDON only of themselves, viz., at 114, 116, 120 REGENT-STREET, and 22. CORNHILL.

The prisoner said he did not come out of hospital until the afternoon of the day when the order was given for the men to be confined to the barracks, nor was he present at the parade when such order was given. He was confined from the 9th to the 15th, the same as those men whose horses were dirty. He went out of barracks, saw some of the other absentees, and being very much grieved at his long confinement for no offence whatever, he stayed with them. He called Private Thomas Green, who said he was stand ing at prisoner's left at sword parade on the evening of the I,;th, but did not hear Sergeant Newman warn Peters for any duty, nor did he think it possible he could have done so without him (witness) hearing it. Prisoner was tried and convicted by a garrison court-martial at Portsmouth, on the 18th of February, 1847, for desertion and making away with part of his regimental necessaries, for which offence he suffered eighty-four days' hard labour, and was placed under stoppages. In November, 1848, he was also convicted before a district court-martial at Nottingham, on the charge of desertion, and sentenced to eighty-four days' iinprilonment, with hard labour, and to be marked with a letter D, which punishment was inflicted. Prisoner's general character is indifferent. —Fifty six days' imprisonment, with hard labour. Private John Ball, charged with breaking out of Nottingham barracki, when confined thereto, on or about the 14th of Outober, 1849, and not returning until on or about the 16th of October, 1849, sentence, fifty six days' hard labour. John Thomas Holmes, John Turner, and Alfred John Ellis, were found guilty of breaking out of barracks, when confined theretoron-or-about the 14th of October. Holmes and Turner were each sentenced to 84 days' imprisonment (hard labour), and Ellis to 56 days' ditto. There are still two prisoners whose sentences have not yet been confirmed.

Mr. James Wyld, M.P., the president of the society, having taken the chair, stated that of all the societies which had been formed for the benefit of members of different trades and professions, not one had been instituted for the benefit of the drivers, conductors, and other omnibus servants, though they had now existed for many years.—(hear, hear.) . He (Hr. Wyld) considered that when, whether in flar or foul weather, the drivers and conductors of the omnibuses remained sixteen hours a day at their post, some provi sion should bo made for old age or unforeseen misfor tune.—(Cheers.) He concluded by remar k i ng on the imputation that was cast on the society, viz., that its object was to pay the fines of those omnibus servants who had been convicted of misconduct, and stated that the object of the society was twofold, namely, to afford relief to those who were destitute, and to exercise a moral control over those who asked admittance into the ranks of the omnibus drivers and conductors, by limit• ing the society to those only whose characters were unim peachable.—(Cheers.) Mr. M. A. G arvay, Mr. Owen, Sir. Payne, barrister at-law (who tna a very humorous speech, and read a song he had c imposed for the occasion in imitation of the "son g of the Shirt"), Mr. Richard son, and other gentlem en , subsequently addressed the meeting on the resolutions. A vote of thanks having been given to the chairman, the meeting separated. TURIN, OCT. 25.—The equalisation of the Jews in Italy with their Christian brethren is.an act which has come so suddenly that resistance to the measure is still offered by the people, used to the pri judices and arro gance of Catho!icisea. This is evidenced by the curious petitions which have recently been laid befkze the Chau - her of Deputies, One prayed that all Jews should be sent to Jerusalem, and a descendant of King David be placed on the throne. Another, freln Acqui, demanded that the people should be permitted to piunder the Jewish Ghettefor three hours!—Jelcis Chronicle --"*? ~....., , ---_________,z' ' -5.),..,,1 ... ....__ ---___- ______ .

The churchwardens were directed not to cover the surface of the churchyard with quicklime, as advised by the General Board of Health, such a use of quicklime being admitted by the General Board to be dangerous to health, and also being in the opinion of the authorities of the parishes a positive nuisance. The authorities. with the approbation of the rector and churchwardens of St. Giles's, ordered that no new graves should be opened in the churchyard, and no interments allowed, except in family vaults and graves. A RELIGIOUS MOTIVE TOE MURDER.—The Journal de r Oise informs us that on the 31st of October a strange crime was committed at Jouy-sous-Thelle. A woman aged 45, named Elizibeth Lebrun (née Lairs), having nothing particular to occupy her attention, endeavoured to procure a little temporary excitement by strangling her sister with a packet of ribands. Having perpetrated the murder, Lebrun went to the brigadier of police and surrendered herself. She manifested no emotion when confronted with the corpse of her sister, and stated that she had no particular motive for perpetrating the murder. The sisters having long resided together on the most friendly terms, it is the general opinion that the mur deress was a religions monomaniac, and that, deeply con vinced of the fact tbat the present life is an intolerable evil, she thought to render her sister a great service by sending ;her soul to heaven. Under these circumstances her acquittal may reasonably be hoped for. Loss OF THE SHIP APOLLO.—Accounts have been received from New York reporting the wreck of this vessel. She has been seen bottom upwards off Cape Horn. All hands are supposed to have perished. The ship was from California, and is supposed to have bad A large amount 9f the " diggings" on board. -04 Nl:ir , st , :uiriday next, ienlyarrthanks grtices and con. that day, will be holden on Friday, the 16th, at the usual hour.

An extraordinary scene was witnessed in Wester field Church, near Ipswich, last Sunday afternoon, is whirih the Rev. C. Drage, the clergyman, and Ox borrow, the parish clerk, figured as the principal actors. It appears that a feeling of ill will has fur a long time past prevailed between the parties, arising out of matters altogether of a secular a itt re, and which, after occasionally manifest leg itself in "scorn meeting scorn, and will pre preventing will," was, at length, brought to a crisis on tf-e afternoon in qu,stion. Indications of the ap laro iching outbreak vi ere discernible in the morning, in a declaration made by Mr. Drage that he shcn:d object to administer the sacrament to Oxborrow on Sunday next, (to-morrow). In reply to this virtual threat of excommunication, Oxborrow, in very de cided terms, said he should be in his place at the celebration of the solemn ceremony, and if he were not admitted as a communicant he should hold Mr. Drage responsible for the consequences. To get out of the difficulty, and at the same time to make good Lis word, or to put a more charitable interpretation upon the omission, the rev. gentleman forgot to give the usual notice, "On Sunday next I purpose, &c.;'' whereupon the probability is founded that the sacrament will not be administered to morrow. However that may be, the time for the afternoon service came round, and the village worshippers were reverentially awaiting its commencement, when their pastor, befittingly robed, made his entry from the vestry door. At that moment Oxborrow, it seems, was in the act of putting a valedictory question to one of his neighbours Supposing him to be engaged in conversation, Mr. Drage rebuked him, in the hearing of all present, in words to this effect, " You parish clerk, you must not talk to the congregation !" " You're very imper tinent, Mr. Drage !" was the prompt rejoinder of that functionary. One can scarcely comprehend the as tonishment of the simple-minded rustics, gathered within the sanctuary, at so unseemly and unexpected a preparation for public prayer; and how much wider their eyes must have opened at beholding Mr. Drage, after mounting the reading desk, and turninglover the leaves of the prayer-b oo k f or a moment or two, suddenly descend from his eleva tion, advance to the front of the clerk's desk, and commence a regular altercation with that individual. Such, we are assured, was the fact. We cannot record all that passed, but it can be, with safety, affirmed that their interlocution was not distin guisned by much deference or regard to the sanctity of the place. A threat of "I'll turn you out ? ' was heard to fall from Mr. Drage, to which a defiance that he "couldn't," was returned by Oxborrow. Several of the congregation, disgusted with the squabble, arose from their seats, and quitted the church, and one old man very pointedly ex claimed, " We didn't come here to listen to a row, but to hear a sermon." " What's your name?' abruptly demanded Mr. Drage, striding towards the man ; no answer being given, the demand was directed to others, "What's his name ?"—still without re sponse. It is stated that a son of Mr. Drage, con nected with the legal profession, took part in the " wordy war," by asserting in an audible tone that Oxborrow had ' 4 said enorg' ,' a remark which e'ici ted from his father a direction to " take it down in writing ;'' the clerk, not one whit abashed by the pre sence of a representative of the law, adding, " yes, then hand it to me and I'll sign it." At length, his anger having become pretty well exhausted, Mr. Drage re-ascended the reading desk, and proceeded with the service, but not without the perturbation of his mind being occasionally observable in his voice and manner.—Suffolk Chronicle. )2r.< T HE ROYAL POLYTECHNiu INSTITUTION, REGENT-STREET.

This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is lithly appreciated for its manifeld virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in:his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff I and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to Mr. William Grinestone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account cf its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

Removed from 71, Long-acre to Mr. "'rout's, 229, Strand, London It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the privation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause so prevalent as that of worms in the human body, and which is so frequently overlooked or improperly treated, from either prejudice or mis'ake It is, therefore, of importance that every person should be acquainted with the common symptoms of worms, which are—disagr:eable odour of the breath, levered tongue, particular heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and paleness of the lips, especially the upper lip, frequent itching of the nos?, an unequal state of the pulse, appetite very irregular, and the bowels also, pale and emaciated countenance, and at other times the face will be flushed, griping pains, a short, dry cough, . great thirst, vomiting, startings during sleep and grinding of the teeth, frequent pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of inclination to take ex ercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c. &c.

B.—At Gloucester and Worcester markets on the 3d, the wheat trade ruled dull, but lower prices were not submitted to for any description. Bar ley in fair request at the currency of that day se'nnight. Oats 6J per quarter cheaper. Beans in good demand. Pea inquired for, and few offering. During the present week we have had a fair sale for good wheats at former prices. Barley unaltered in value, but not so much in re quest. Oats still tend rather downwards. Beans held for some advance, which has nearly stopped the sale. An improvement of is per quarter has been realised on peas. At this day's market there was only a moderate supply of wheat from the farmers, and the trade ruled dull, but all qualities were quite as dear. Barley 61 to Is per quarter lower. No progress could be made in oats, ex• cept by submitting to a further decline. Higher prices being demanded for beans and peas, very few changed bands. BRISTOL, Nov. B.—The market was but moderately supplied to-day with English wheat, and the generality of the samples shown were more or less out of condition, owing to the damp weather. Prices remained much the same as on this day se'nnight. English may he quoted from 38s. to 445. per imperial quarter. There was a more active inquiry for the better qualities of foreign, owing to the deteriorated condition of the English growths; and, although no advance took place, prices were evidently firmer. Foreign white realised from 44s to 50s per 4801hs; foreign red (fine qualities), 40s to 43s ditto ; foreign red (ordinary qualities), 35s to 38s per ditto ; and foreign hard, 35s to 39s per ditto. There was not so good a demand for flour, but prices must be quoted much the same as last week. English seconds brought from 29s to 31s pl. sack; and American, &c., sweet, 23s to 25s per barrel. There was not a very brisk sale for malting barleys, and prices were the turn cheaper. For grinding parcels holders were firm, and the late quotations were maintained. English malting must be quoted from 28s to 33s per imperial quarter, and English and Foreign grinding from 20s to 24s p er 400 lb s. Th e market for . oats was extremely dull, buyers only taking just suffi cient for their present necessities. Devon and Welsh must be quoted 14s 61 to Iss per imperial quarter; Irish white, 16s 63 to 18s per 320 lbs; Irish black, 14s 6.1 to 15s 61 per imperial quarter. In beans there was not much doing, and prices were stationary. English brought from 28s to 32s per imperial quarter, and foreign from 25s to 28s per 480 lbs. The arrivals for the week have been—Wheat, 3,215 quarters; oats, 540 quarters, 5,655 barrels; barley, 1,112 barrels, 1,683 quarters; beans, 50 quarters; fluur, 173 barrels, 20 sacks.

DERBY, Nov. 6.—The market was most scantily sup. plied to-day, there being scarcely a well-fed animal. Such being the case, there was but little doing, and if the best quality of beef becomes scarce, it must ultimately lead to an advance in the price. The number of fat sheep was alto numerically small and the demand equally lilt. The supply of fat pigs was good and of excellent quality; there was one lot of Irish shown (the first this season), all of which were porkets, yet but few of them were sold, the price being higher than our country pigs.

COLLISION ON THE BLACK WALL RAILWAY. A collision of an alarming character took place on the Blackway Railway on Wednesday evening, which occasioned serious, if not fatal injuries, to many pas sengers. At five minutes to five on the evening in question a train, consisting of seven carriages, drawn by a locomotive (the old systen of traction by rope being abandoned), left the 1311ek wall terrn;nus for London. Having called at two or three intermediate stations, it reached that at Stepney at about six minutes past five. At this pint the newly-formed junction to 13ow leaves the main line, and the passengers for the breech have to change carriages at this station. On the train from Blackwall coining up, that from Bow had nut arrived. A delay of two or three minutes occurred, when the beating of an engine—attached, as it was afterwards ascertained, to two goods' trucks, and proceeding from the Poplar luggage depot to the London warehouses—was heard coming up on the same line of rails on which the stationary train was standing. From is " beat" it was apparent that its rate was rapid, and it was soon evident that a collision must inevitably ensue. A red signal hand-lamp stood at the end of the platform behind the passenger train, and although a more perfect signal might be adopted, yet it is affirmed the light could he seen 200 or 300 yards down the line, a distance quite sufficient to bring an engine to a halt, as great care was enjoined to be observed on passing the junction, more especially when a train was known to be only a short distance ahead. As before men tioned, however, the goods' engine came on with but triflingly reduced speed, and with fearful force dashed into the hind carriage of the train for London. The shock is described to have been terrific, and the resi dents near the line state that it resembled the firing of a large piece of ordnance. The last carriage, a second class, in which unhappily were several pas sengers, was smashed to an alarming extent. The next, and second and third, suffered almost as much, and the third from the rear was also crushed in, while the violence of the concussion had a powerful effect over the other portion of the train. Pro bably the force of the collision may be conceived, when it is stated that the coupling which held the engine in front of the train was severed, and the ponderous machine forced some forty or fifty yards along tl.e rails, while the chimney of the roods engine was knocked off and otherwise crushed. 'file position of the passengers in the carriages in the rear, more especially in the last one, with the hissing locomotive almost on the top of them, was most pain- U. The fragments of the crushed timber had fallen upon them, and their cries excited much commisera tion. It is scarcely necessary to mention that those who could escape from the train, precipiaately did eo, and, with the guards and officers of the station, rendered immediate aid in rescuing the sufferers from the debris of the damaged carriages, which completely blocked up the up line. No fewer than eight were found to be seriously injured. Three men, who are represented to have been in the last carriage, were much hurt. James Dewster, of 6, Lawrence e Pountney-lane, Cannon-street, had his collar-bon fractured, two ribs on the left side broken, and was greatly bruised about different parts of the body. James Gadd, of Raven-row, Mile-end road, had a severe cut over his left eye, and was seri ously bruised about the body. J. Bristowe, an engineer, seas also cut and bruised. These unfortunate persons were removed in flys to the surgery of Mr. Taynton, of the Commercial road, and, their injuries being dressed, they were removed to their respective dwell ings. Probably, however, the most severe injury .vas sustained by a young lady named Hill, residing in Copenhagen-place, Limehouse. She was in the first-class, and going up to town with a Spanish gen tleman of the name of Hilliott, of Great Portland street, who had been visiting her parents in the course of the afternoon. They were seated on each side of the carriage, and the shock of the collision threw them against each other, when the rim of the gentleman's hat struck the young lady on the upper part of her face, and nearly cut her right eye out. When ex tricated blood was flowing copiously from the severe gash. She was otherwise much bruised, and in an afflictin g condition was taken to Mr. Gill's, surgeon, White Horse-street, near the station, who had her immediately removed to her own residence. At present her sight is gone, the in jury of the right eye having affected the vision of tire other. Mr. Hilliott was also so much injured as to render his continuing at Mr. Gill's for the night prudent. Another sufferer, named Harry Newton, i n the tidewaiter's office at the Customs, was seriously injured about the chest and legs, and the poor man, wishing to be taken home, was at once conveyed to his residence near Bermondsey church. We are given to understand, however, that the above do not include all that were injured, as there were several who at once proceeded to their homes without seeking the aid of the company's officers. As quickly as practi cable after the collision the usual precautions were adopted in respect to the approach of both up and down trains. Some of the directors, with Mr. Ken net, the secretary, promptly visited the scene of the deplorable event, and proceeded to institute an in quiry into the cause. We have not the means of knowing what testimonials are required by the com pany in the engagement of engine drivers, but we have it from credible authority that the man who was act ing as driver to the goods' engine had not the ordinary qualifications for the office; and, to illustrate his incompetency, we may mention that, after the colli sion, he absolutely went on to the up line of the junction at the time of the Bow train coming up, and if the driver of the later hai not fortunately per ceived the engine light, another and more disastrous accident might have happened. The delay of the Bow train was a most providential circumstance, for it it had arrived at its proper time the passengers would have been crossing the line—for they had to do so over the permanent way—to the London train at the moment of the goods' engine coming up, and the probability is they would have been cut to pieces. Another miraculous escape happened to the fireman of the passenger engine • he was under the locomotive oiling the cylinders, and had scarcely left a moment or so when the collision took place. Throughout the remainder of the night the south line of rails could not be used in consequence of the shattered carriages blocking up the road. In the morning, however, they had been removed, and the trains ran as usual. The sufferers were going on favourably yesterday afternoon. DANGEROUS ExmosloN.—Last evening a serious explosion took place at Hill's chemical works, Deptford, which resulted in great damage to the premises, and, it is feared, fatal injury to one of the workmen named Henry Fletcher, eged 25, who was most shockingly burnt, and otherwiEe injured, by the action of the fire and the violence of the explosion. It appears that about six o'clock Fletcher had directions to procure an article from ono of the warehouses coataining a large quantity of chemicals, and the place had not been opened for a considerable period; when he entered with a lighted candle, the warehouse was suddenly enveloped in a mass of flame, accompanied by a loud report, which fortunately brought a number of men to the aid of Fletcher, who was completely surrounded with flames, and his dress nearly consumed. One man rushed in, and in a praise worthy manner succeeded in dragging the injured man out of the fire. Ile was conveyed to the nearest surgeon's; but such was the serious nature of the injuries he had sustained, that the medical gentlemaa ordered his im mediate removal to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he was pl iced tinier the care of the house surgeon, who ascer tained that both his arms were dreadfully burnt, and his face, with other portions of his body, blackened and charred by the fury of the flames. Additional aid was soon brought to the spot, and with great exertions the flames were happily confined to the part above named. Fletcher is going on very favourably, but he is still i n a clangorous condition. The explosion is attributed to an accumulation of foul air. METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY. - Yesterday, evening a public meeting of the ratepayers and inha bitants of the parish of St. Pancras was held in the vestry-room, King's-road, for the purpose of takinginto consideratioi the proposition of the Metropolita n W ater Supply Association :for organizing a parochial move ment in St. Pancras district to aid in improving the whole water supply of the metropolis, and placing the entiro control thereof in the hands of the inhabitants themselves. The chair was tsken by Mr. Frazier, churchwarden; and Mr. J. L. Tabbernor, who attended on behalf of the Metropolitan Water Supply Association, explained the object in view. It is in contemplation to porch-sae the interests held in those companies which at present supply London and its suburban districts with water, and_establish a public board to take the manage ment of a system by which what is termed "monopoly" in the cane may be put an end to, and the metropolis furnished at a reasonable price with an adequate supply of pure water. Resolutions in favour of the project were adopted, and the meeting separated. CITY Po Lies. The following was agreed to unanitnously:—'"Friday, November 2d, 1E49. Coal and Corn and Finance Committee. .Resolved unan i mous l y , that the thanks o f thi s Committee be gived to Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., Commissioner of the City Polies., for the exemplary manner in svh:e!i he performed the arduous duties devolving upon him on the occasion of the opening of the New Coal Exchange, on the 30th October last. And this Committee request that the Commissioner will communicate to the Superintendents, inspectors, Sergeants, and the other members of th e Police Force, the expre s sion of this Committee's high approbation of the co ur t eo us and effici en t manner 'in which they performed their duty at and near the Coal Exchange upon that day. (Signed) Illiazwzaw.." PROSECUTE. Some documents were read, from which it ap peared that certain charges were necessarily required to be made to defray the expenses of prosecutions for uttering base coin, the • solicitor to the Mint having refused to prosecute upon the part of the Go vernment. Alderman FAREBROTEER said he could not see why the officer appointed by the Government to undertake such prosecutions should refuse to perform a duty so important to society, or why the city magistrates should throw such a burden upon the shoulders of their fellow-citizens as that of paying the law charges in cases of smashing.—(Hear, hear.) The solicitor to the Mint did not, he understood, at tend very frequently the examinations of persons charged, and when he did attend he merely selected cases for prosecution. Alderman MUSGROVE said he found that prosecu tions of this kind were much more frequently insti tuted in the city than they used to be. He regretted that such practice was increasing, and he should therefore move, in order to arrive at a precise know ledge on the subject, for the production of the accounts of the expenses incurred for the last seven years in prosecutions for uttering base coin, costa, &c. Alderman SIDNEY was of opinion it would be found that the city had been paying for a great number of years, annually, upwards of 2,0001. in their own wrong. He wished the Court to apply to Government for the restitution of that annual sum for the last 23 . years. Alderman and Sheriff LAWRENCE said, he consi. tiered it to be the duty of a magistrate to send any case which he believed to be satisfactorily proved for trial, whatever might be the determination of the solicitor for the Mint upon the subject. The case might be brought to trial in the ordinary way, and costs might he saved by placing it before a jury without employing either counsel or solicitor in the prosecution. kle . would leave the matter to a jury, and not permit the city to be taxed one shilling. The CITY SOLICITOR, in answer to a question from the Lord Mayor, said, there had been recently two cases of uttering base money tried at the Central Criminal Court upon the prosecution of the city, and in both verdicts of guilty had been recorded. These cases had been rejected by the solicitor to the Mint. Alderman FAREBROTHEN, under all the circum stances, counselled a bold application to the Govern. ment, and agreed with Alderman Lawrence that the city should not incur any further expense by prose cuting in cases which fairly belonged to the Mint, and ought to be undertaken by the solicitor to that depart ment. A motion to the effect, that no further prosecu. tions in Mint cafes be ordered by the City authorities, was then agreed to. CONVICTS IN NIMGATE. The Sheriffs having made their gaol returns, some observations were made by the members as to the necessity of supplying laborious occupation to the convicts when the Government had not present facili ties of sending abroad, or to the destination finally allotted to them. Alderman LAWRENCE said it was unnecessary to enlarge upon the enormous evil which must inevi tably spring from the confinement of numbers of men in the same room, wholly without employment, and destitute of the resources which social life provided. Impressed with the belief that serious mischiefs would ensue if some measures of prevention, in the shape of industrious occupation, were not very soon adopted, he should move " That application be made to Government to suggest and supply such means of employing the convicts in Newgate as would be likely to counteract the formidable consequences he apprehended." THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. Sir PETER LAURIE gave notice of the following motions : " That the Clerk of the Central Criminal Court do lay before the Court, at its next meeting, the number of days on which each of the three courts at the Central Criminal C urt have sat during the last sessional year, with the number of cases disposed of in each court, in each session, during the same period." " 2. A return of the expenses of prosecutions during the same year." Adjourned. MURDEROUS ATTACK IN THE MILBANK PENT TENTIARY.—A most desperate and murderous attack, from the effects of which there is not the slightest hope of the unfortunate victim's 'recovering, was made on Wednesday afternoon upon Thomas Hall, one of the warders of the Milbank Prison. The circumstances are briefly these:—About half-past four o'clock in the after noon John Francis, an incorrigible convict, returned from the hulks to this prison, requested Hall to let him out of his cell for an usual purpose. The warder imme diately complied. As Francis was returning to his cell, in a minute or so afterwards, ho suddenly rushed upon the warder and felled him to the ground with a heavy earthenware utensil, much resembling a very large paint•pot, and followed up his murderous attack with a succession of desperate blows about the head with the same utensil. The attack was witnessed by some of the other prisoners from the gratings of their cells, but as they had all been locked up, with the exception of Francis, they were unable to render the unfortunate warder any assistance, although they repeated called to Francis and implored him to spare the poor man's life. Finding their entreaties vain, as the ruffian still continued his murderous attack, they rushed to their windows, when their cries brought some of the other officers to the spot, and the miscreant Francis was still found standing over his bleeding and prostrate victim. Francis was imme diately secured and conveyed to the refractory cell, where he has been closely guarded ever since. The un fortunate victim of his fury was taken up insensible, in which state, notwithstanding the greatest passible me dical attention, he has remained ever since, nor is there the slightest chance of his recovery, the skull having been literally beaten in, in different parts, a portion of the bone of which it has been found necessary to take away, and he altogether exhibits the effects of the most ferocious violence. We regret to say, that in reply to our inquiries yesterday evening, it was stated that it was scarcely possible that the poor man, who has a wife and six young children depending upon him for support, could survive the night. This is the second time the malefactor Francis has been sent to the Milbank Peni tentiary, and we understand that while at the hulks he attempted the life of the surgeon, upon whom he in flicted some very serious injuries. PEPYS' DIARY AND CORRESPONDENCE. EDITED BY LORD BRAYBROOKE. 5 VOLS.—The new, enlarged, and cheaper edition of this celebrated Diary is now completed by the publication of the sth Volume, which contains an excellent General Index to the whole work. The hdiitb'irph Review, just published, in its notice of this new edition, observes:—" These volumes of Pepyb' famous journal, in their present complete form, contain much attractive novelty. They will supply, not only ourselves, but many a successor, with inexhaustible materials for reflection, reference, and observation. Without making any exception in favour of any other production of ancient or modern diarists, we unhesi tatingly characterise this journal as the most remarkable production of its kind which has ever been given to the world. Pepys paints the Court, the Monarch, and the times in more vivid colours than any one else. His Diary makes us comprehend the great historical events of the age, and the people who bore a part in them, and gives us more clear glimpses into the true English life of the times than all the other memorials of them that have come down to our own."
