For the last two days we have had easterly wind at Portsmouth, with thick foggy weather, with rain occasionally. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Apolline freight ship embarked 100 prisoners yesterday at Spithead, to be conveyed to Gibraltar under the charge of Lieutenant Reynolds, a medical officer, and 51 men of the 97th Re giment.

Wooi.wicH, JAN. s.—Commodore Sir Gordon Bre. mer, K.C.8., and K.C.H., recently Superintendent of this dockyard, has been restored to perfect health since he left Woolwich to take his permanent residence at Compton, near Plymouth. A delay in getting the coals on board has prevented the Arrogant steam-frigate, 46 guns, going down the river to-day, but her supply will be completed to-mor- Tow or Monday. Mr. Atherton, chief engineer at Woolwich dockyard, having been appointed chief engineer to the new esta blishment at Keyham-point, Devonport, Mr. Hum phries, from the firm of Messrs. George and Sir John Rennie, is to succeed to the office of chief engineer of the factory at Woolwich. The vessels at present building here are the Royal -Albert, 120 guns, the Nankin, 50. gun frigate, and the Brisk steam-vessel to be fitted with a screw propeller. COVE HARBOUR AND THE GANGES —A correspon dent, writing to the Cork Constitution on the condition of the harbour at Cove, says—" The harbour here is in a most eonrused.and dangerous position, in consequence of vessels :tieing allowed to anchor wherever they think fit; some aro moored, others are se ioging about at single anchor, and all lying without regularity or order. The harbour is not so full but what, with a little attention ,on the part of the authorities, the navigation of the river would be safe. For this purpose I would suggest that all vessels should be moored on the side of the Spit Bank, and leave a passage towards the shore in deep water, or that they should be partly moored on the north shore and partly on the side of the Spit Bank, leaving a clear channel in the middle; until this is done the au chorago will not be safe, nor will it be possible for steamers to pass up after dark. It is true the Ganges line-of-battle ship sailed up to Haulbowline, but every body who saw her were surprised she got up without doing damage. She appeared to be very skilfully han dled, and answered her helm mere readily than a deep laden merchant vessel could do. Another subject re quires the attention of those whose business it is to in terfere, and that is the state of the wharfs, which, nine times out of ten, no boat can land at without consider able difficulty, in consequence of the numerous warps and hawsers laid out in all directions." THE WRECK OF HER -MAJESTY'S SLOOP MUTINE. We have been favoured with a perusal of the follow ing particulars of the wreck of the Mutine, from a private 'source. They are written by a young officer of that ill fated sloop to his parents, but are so graphically ex pressed, and are so very interesting, that we make no apology to our friends for giving them general pub licity:— " Malancaco, Venice, Des. 23. "My dear -, I must now relate what I know Will at least interest you, viz., the wreck and total loss of the poor little Mutine. Yes; she now lies about four miles from this place a hopeless wreck, little more than "one-half of her symmetrical frame holding together. By the blessing of God, we wore all saved except five. But now for the full particulars. "We sailed from Trieste, in a dense fog, on Friday, the lath. Calais and baffling winds so detained us that we did not anchor at Venice until Tuesday night. The captain, with the surgeon and purser, had left the ship two nights previously, when about 20 miles off (with 'dispatches) and the fog continuing, they were prevented from returning to the vessel; but on Wednesday, the 20th, it cleared, when immediately a gale of wind suc ceeded. The captain tried to come off in his own boat, - but was nearly swamped three times. He then offered 501.;f0r any boat that would convey him on board his ship, but all in vain; no one was hardy enough to accept it. The steamers, too, tried to get out, but - could, not. '" Meantime, finding it was likely to blow hard, we 'weighed, and leaving our anchorage off Lido, the north 'entrance to the Lagoon of Venice, ran down to that of Malamoco, some miles to the southward, trying to get a pilot to take us inside the Lagoon, where we should have - been all safe; but it came on to blow so hard that no pilot could reach us; and, the wind shifting a point or two, we were now on a dead lee shore, with a tre mendous sea, and no chance of being able to beat off, 'even if we made sail. By eleven o'clock that night. two out of four cables parted, and as we were strik ing topmasts soon after, the third cable, a 14-inch' .hempen one snapped in twain. We were at the mercy of the remaining anchor, with 150 fathoms of ch a i n on it; and that fast coming home, there was nothing for it but to cut away the masts. The foremast went first, but that failing to stop our drifting, the mainmast went too, and the little Mutine lay a hulk upon the troubled waters. I was -- of that middle watch (though, of course, all hands were on deck), and I shall never forget th e scene — a f r i g h t f u l sea an d surf—the ship surging and drifting fast, and a rocky coast astern of us. We now with some difficulty hove overboard our two shell guns, weighing about four tons, with a strong hawser bent on each, and, greatly to our satisfaction, we 'then, assisted by the stream-anchor, with 100 fathoms cable, held on for some time. We remained in this awful position until four o'clock on Thursday morning, when we begen firing minate guns of distress, and as soon as day broke we hoisted the ensign jack downwards on the stump of the mainmast. But, alas! it was a forlorn Hope; for soon after this she began a g ain to drift, the ilea making clean b reac h es over us, and the cold so in tense that the icicles from the sea-water hung on all the bows, netting, and even on our clothes. At half-past four, sick, worn out with hard work, and overcome with cold and wet, I went down and turned into the first lieutenant's bed, taking off my wet clothes, and rolling myself up in his blanket, I slept for about an hour, when the first lieutenant sent down to say I had better come on deck. I immediately got up, but as I c ould not get into my wet cloth es , I s li pped on a flannel, a shirt, a pair of drawers , and a large cloak, with an ' o ld pair o f stoc ki n gs and shoes. When I arrived on d ec k , found the ship had drifted much closer in, and the first lieutenant observed it would be a miracle if any were sav e d. At length when about a mile from the shore she struck (about 12 30 P 31 , ), and we with all possibl e di s- Patch hove overboard the remaining 10 guns, with the shot, water, &c. , and about three o'clock, findin g all o ur efforts of no avail, and, as we all thought, certain death awaiting as —weary, frozen, exhausted, we made one itiore—one last dying attempt to save ourselves, so, send ing all hands to the forecastle to the wind, we slipped our cables, and contriving by this means to get her head before the gale, we ran rapidly in for the shore. 4, Bebeg very light from the loss of guns, &ce the sea and wind ran us so rapidly over the rocks that the ship struck with frightful violence; but at last she WAS car ried so close in that we were enabled to get a line on shore, and by means o f it a ha wser; not until, however, poor whiting , o ne ofour mates, lost his life in attempt ing to land in the jolly boat , which was.pitched over the side; fortunately the rest o f the boat's crew were saved, but the boat having been capsized they were frightfully knocked about. I now went down, having previously thrown off my cloak, and having strongly tied a hand kerchief round my neck, fastened in one corner of it all the stock of money I could at that moment reach; and by means of this hawser, a bowline knot round it, and a line from the shore, I assisted in landing the men, until finding that at last I could not stand on my feet from the intense cold, I was myself put into the knot, and was hauled along the ha w ser. By mere instinct, I must have held on, for I only remember betng draggod through tho water head-foremost, being terribly knocked about upon the rocks, nearly drowned, and being .''then seized by half a-dozen men, who conveyed and to the nearest hoive—that of a cobbler—and put me to bed, one of them (as recommended by the Royal Humane Society) turning in with me. After some time Ire turned to consciousness, when, my attendants having dosed me with sundry tumb!ers of hot grog, and warmed m y feet, which were very painful, and my fingers, which are still frost- bitten, I began to feel something like my self. I must say I never experienced such kindness as from these people ; the whole family vied with each other as to who could do most—tucking me iu , making me broth, bringing wine, grog, &c. Of the rest of my poor shipmates, the assistant-surgeon and one of the mates (Charlton) were frozen to death, as was also the marine. The carpenter got out of the bowline knot, and was drowned, but the rest all got safely ashore, more or less injured by bruises. THE "Next day (Friday) we were almost all removed on board her Majesty's steam•vessel Ardent, lying under the Lagoon, and I am now writing this in bed with frost bitten fingers, and my toes so badly bitten, that the doctor fears I shall lose one of my big tors, aad pe. haps one or two others. I think, however, I shall" get over it, but I fear I shall not be able to leave my bed for some time. " There is no-.chance~ of saving anything from' the brig. We hive lost'al4 in het ' • the only things I have in the world are one shift; `o'neilannel, and ono pair of arawets. " God bless you all, is the earnest prayer of "Your, &c., The success which has been obtained by Made moiselle P. Annato has been complete, and most of the leading journals have spoken in the highest terms of her great and rare talent. To crown the merit of this Taglioni of the Cirque National de Paris, M. Jullien has composed, expressly for her, a quadrille, and from the known talent of M. Jullien we venture to predict that the " Palmira Quadrille" will be the most charming of his compositions of this season. LISXBARD ELECTION.—The election of a represen tative for the borough of Liskeard, in the room of the late lamented Member, Mr. Charles Buller, took place yesterday. The Tories had previously trade great efforts to induce some advocate of Conservative opinions to take the field and spend his money, but had been un successful, and the only candidate was Mr. Crowder, the eminent Queen's Counsel, who has for many years past been one of the leaders of the western bar. That gentleman was proposed by Mr. John Allen, in a speech remarkable for the liberality of its ♦iews, and the exten sive range which it embraced, the Hon. Gentleman touch ing upon almost every question which interests the pub • lic mind at the-present time. Mr. Anstis seconded the nomination in a brief and hearty address, and, there being'no other candidate, Mr. Crowder was declared to fie duly elected. The Learned Gentleman then addressed his constituents in a frank and eloquent speech, in which he entered into the consideration of many questions of great public importance. He dwelt upon the fact that he had been always in favour of pro gressive reforms, and was a supporter of the extension of tho suffrage in proportion as the people progress in education. On the subject of retrenchment the Hon. Gentleman placed before the meeting, in a very lucid manner, the views of Professor Newman, Mr. Cobden, and Mr. Macgregor, giving his cordial adherence to the general principles of retrenchment, reserving to himself the adoption of that course which, on a discussion of the various measures before Parliament, he might think most conducive to the general welfare of the country. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman's speech was received with great satisfaction by a crowded audience amongst whom was a very large number of ladies, and at its close he was hailed with a burst of hearty applause. The electors of Liskeard are men of stern political in tegrity. Mr. Crowder expressed his firm belief—a be lief in which from many years' knowledge of them we most cordially concur—that every man who had given him a promise would, if there had been a poll, have voted for him . This firm adherence to principle in so small a constituency is a remarkable circumstance, and one which gives to its representative a high position in the great councils of the nation.—Plymouth Journal RAILWAY ARCHES AT LAMBETH.—If these arches were floored, and boarded on the sides, they would form a refuge for the houseless to sufficient extent that no un fortunate person in London would want a dry covering in the inclement season. A merely raised flooring on each side, like those in the military guard-rooms, would afford the worn and weary a better repose than a heap of . stones, or dry trenches in the parks. Other details would be readily suggested by the philanthropic; but even for baths and washhouses for the poor, as well as soup-kitchens, these arches are well adapted. For the latter purpose an enormous and constant supply of hot water could be obtained from the wasted heat co the ex tensive coke-ovens at Nine Elms, if boilers were erected there, from whence it could be conveyed in pipes—and the heated pipes, by passing through those arches fitted up as receptacles for night refuge, would keep them healthily dry, and give genial warmth to the emaciated and distressed denizens.—The Builder. HER MAJESTY'S TWELFTH CAKE.—A numerous and distinguished party, who have been honoured with invitations to Windsor Castle to-day, will be entertained by her Majesty at a grand banquet which will be given in the large dining-room this evenine. (Saturday). The twelfth-cake, which will be exhibited in the green draw ing room, to which the royal and illustrious guests will retire at the conclusion of the banquet, has been manu factured by Mr. Mawditt, her Majesty's first yeoman confectioner, expressly for the occasion. It is a most elaborately executed specimen of l'art de confiseur. On the summit are a vast number of figures exquisitely finished, the subject represented being a fete champetre, with the figures beautifully grouped in the style of the well-known productions of Watteau. The drawing for Twelfth-night characters by her Majesty and the Prince, and their Royal and illustrious visitors, will take place in the evening, as has been usual on all former similar occasions on this day since her Majesty's accession. CITY OF LONDON AND EAST LONDON DISPENSARY AND BENEVOLENT INSTITIITION.—A public meeting was held at the London Tavern, on Thursday, the 4th inst.; Charles Curling, Esq., was called to the chair, and was supported by several gentlemen of influence. The minutes of a former meeting, establishing this institu tion, were read by Mr. Whyte (the secretary), and con firmed. The proposed objects of this charity are novel, but likely to be highly beneficial to the poor. It contem. plates (in addition to rendering medical aid), providing grataitously,:in cases where it is absolutely required— nutritive food, and also granting of small pecuniary gifts to operatives on their recovery to enable them again to obtain employment, thus restoring them from indigence and disease to a position of comparative comfort. It may, indeed, be said, that this is a perfect measure of charity. The meeting was addressed by Henry F. Richardson. Esq., George Curling, Esq., and other gentlemen, and a very handsome amount immediately subscribed, amongst which may be named Charles Hoare, Esq., 1001.: R. R. Wood, Esq., 201., &c., &c. The surgeons w ere appointed, namely, W. G. Carpenter, Esq., F.R.C.S.L., and Henry Shaw, Esq., M.R.C.S. It was then resolved that the foundation festival be held in the spring. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. The committee meet at the London Tavern until the first Dispensary is opened. FATAL ACOIDENT ON THE BLACIWALL RAILWAY. —An accident, which terminated fatally, occurred on this line on Thursday morning, owing to the carriage door not being properly fastened. A seaman was pro ceeding to the West India Dock, and entered the second class compartment of one of the carriages, and had pro ceeded with the quarter to 11 o'clock down train as far as Gun-lane, Limehouse, when he leaned against the carriage door, which flew open, and he was precipitated on to the line. All the remaining carriages of the train passed over his body, the wheels mutilating him in a frightful manner. When he was taken up he was quite dead, and the body was conveyed to the Limehouse Railway station, where it now awaits a coroner's in quest. Two foreign seamen, shipmates of the unfortu nate deceased, and William Wright, a carman, of Ep ping, in Essex, were in the same carriage. The occur rence was so very sudden that it was impossible for them to save him. • Several witnesses have been summoned by Mr. Coningham, the beadle of St, Anne, Limehouse, and the affair will undergo a rigid inquiry. DEATH FROM EXCESSIVE DRINKING.—A circum stance occurred at the Masbrough railway station, forty miles from Derby, on Tuesday last, which has resulted in the death of one man, and a second lies in a very dangerous state. A cask of gin, having been sent by railway, was about to be put into a waggon, when it unexpectedly rolled from the truck, and ono end of the cask was broken. Joseph Austen and a man of the name of Longden, two plate layers, instantly fell to work, not to preserve, but to drink the gin, and they were joined by a pointaman of the name of Scott. Austin drank so freely that he died the same night, and Long den was with great difficulty prevented sharing the same fate. On Wednesday an inquest was held before Mr. Badger upon the body of Austin, when the circumstances being related, the jury returned a verdict of "Died from apoplexy produced by drinking ardent spirits." Scott was taken before the magistrates at Rotherham and fined 51. for neglect of duty, and Longden remains a'inest without hope of surviving the effects of his rash proceedings, but should he recover, he will most likely be prosecuted and fined for neglect of duty. ISLE OF PURDECK.--DISASTROUS STORM.—A more disastrous night of weather than that of Wednesday last is scarcely in our remembrance. The rain commenced about seven, and continued without intermission through out the whole of the night. In Wareham the north and south causeways were rendered impassable, and, for several days the meadows remained one unbroken sheet of water. At Corfe Castle, the two diminutive streams which join their water just below the castle, became furious torrents, tearing up the roads, and carrying the debris and loose soil before them. The steam-mills, as well as the old grist mill at Arfleet, suffered consider able damage, and many stacks of pollard and other ar ticles were swept away. The effects of the storm were attended with fatal consequences at Swanwich, where, from the great rush of fresh water uniting with the sea, a house, standing close to the sea, in• It abited by Mr. Soper, an officer of the C o ast Guard, was undermined, and the whole f ro nt carried away ; Mrs. Sop er , bearing aac out of bed and lighted a candle, and at that instant the walls fell with a tremendous crash, and the unfortunate woman was precipitated into the water. her daughters after much anxiety were extricated from their perilous situation. Mr. Soper was at Studland with the tender when the melancholy event took place. Towards.day lieht the body was picked up on the beach, and on Fri day an inquest was held before C. Baskett, Esq., coroner, whe n the jury returned a verdict of " Accide n t a l Death," an d s t ro ngly recommended the coroner to lay befor e the commissioners of the Wareham turnpike, the state of the bridge, near the house, the archway being too narrow for the stream running through it. The county is by the common law chargeable with the repairs of all public bridges, and as Sandwich is a place of gene ral resort, besides containing apopulation of about 3 , 000 , it especially behoves the county of Dorset to take this bridge in hand an d render It secure to the public. — Poole and Dorsetshire Herald. MR. GEORGE OWEN, TEE ADMIRED TRAGEDIAN: This highly talented young man concluded two engage reents with Mr. Rogers at the Liver Theatre, Liverpool, tho week before last. So satisfied was the manager with the good houses drawn by Mr. George Owen's persona tion of Hamlet twice , Richelieu twice, Kin g Lear,Scc ~Se e t hat he engaged him for Stafford, on T uesday, the 2fit i; Decembor. Mr. George Owen appeared in Richard the Third, Othello, Hamlet, and Macbeth, to good audiences, and was loudly called on the stage each evening. T hat once favourite of Covent-garden Theatre, Miss Beau m9nt, appeared on the benefit night, as Lady Ma c b et h , and in the farce sang some beautiful songs; and was rapturously received and cheered. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THAMES. Thomas Arment, scm, aged 67. a greengrocer, of No. 10, Tenter-street, Whitechapel, Thomas Arment, his son, formerly a dock labourer, and Henry Samuel Chester, a porter, were brought up for final examination before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing 10 , 1 yards of silk damask and silk and worsted damask, value 401, two carpets, a hearthrug, and other property, belonging to Messrs. Druce and Broadhurst, extensive upholsterers, of No. 200, Regent-street, and the Baker-street Bazaar, near Portman-square. . _ Mr. YARDLEY said he should commit all the prisoners to Newgate for trial at the next session of the Central Criminal Court. LAMBETH. Mr. Daniel Harling, a master butcher, carrying on business in .. = extensive way in Park-road, Clapham, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of attempting to violate the person of his servant, Emma Clark, 'a girl of 14 years of age. From the statement of the complainant, who appeared to be at least 18 years of age, it appeared that on the pieceding afternoon her mistress went out, and some time after her master, the prisoner, directed her to close the parlour windows, which she did. Her master then closed the shop and parlour doors, threw her down on the parlour sofa, and committed the assault complained of. She struggled, screamed, and did her best to get away from him, and as soon as she could get away she went to her mother, and informed her of what had happened. The mother of the prosecutrix said, that soon after her daughter had informed her of the treatment she had experienced from her master, Mr. Harling came -to her house, said he had acted very foolishly, and offered to'pay 51. to settle the matter rather than his wife should know anything about it. She told him she was surprised he should have the impudence to come to her house after what had happened, and refused to make any compromise. The prisoner was admitted to bail. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. PROGRESS OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC. The traffic returns of railways in the United Kingdom amounted in the year 1842 to 4,400,000/., miles open 1,530; in 1843, to 4,850,0001., miles open 1,590; in 1844, to 5,611,0001., miles open, 1.780; in 1845, to 6,670,000/,, miles open 2,050; in 1846, to 7,690,0001., miles open 2,650; in 1847. to 8,976,0001., miles open 3,450; and in 1848, the traffic amounted to 10,092,0001., miles open 4,420. The total sum expended on the railways to which these returns refer amounted in July, 1848, to 131,000,0001. The average receipts per mile per annum were in 1842, 3,1201.; in 1843, 3,080[; in 1844, 3,33014 in 1845, 3,470/4 in 1846, 3,3001.; in 1847, 2,870/ ; and in 1848, 2,5501; showing a decrease, which partly arises from the depression in trade, and from the great extent of new railways opened during the past two years. SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6, 1849, SOUTH DEVON. An adjourned meeting of the shareholders of this line was held on Thursday at Bristol. Mr. CHILCOTT having been called on to prside, said ho was more than ever convinced of the propriety of the active means which had been taken to bring the affairs of the South Devon Railway before the public. He had received several letters on the subject of his sup posed advocacy of the atmospheric principle. He would say decidedly and distinctly that he was ready to adopt any principle which would work the line with the least posbible expense consistent with the public safety. Mr. F. FRY remarked that he supposed the paucity of the number of shareholders present proved that they were going to the meeting at Exeter, where he hoped they would vote against the atmospheric system being con tinued. Mr. SECCOMBE advised the meeting as to the matters in dispute between the directors and Mr. Gill. Mr. Gill had put forth that the atmospheric system had been aban doned hastily and without due consideration, that it had not been sufficiently tested, and he wished another experiment to be made on some other plan. On look ing at the statement of the directors he thought that charge must fall to the ground, for there had been experiments without number tried on every possible principle at a most costly sacrifice before it was abandoned. lie had every reason to believe that the at mospheric had cost 3s. per mile, and if so, the saving would be no less than 19,3441. per annum by adopting the locomotive power in its stead. Mr. Gill said, the expense of another experiment would be 6,0001., if it suc ceeded, but instead of 6,0001., ho believed the cost would be 24,000/. Ile hoped therefore at the ensuing meeting at Exeter on Saturday nobody would advocate the con tinuance of the atmospheric principle, which had met with so many failures, and which he hoped to see consigned to oblivion, but that they would support the directors in an economical working of the line by loco motives. Mr. FRY said that he had read the directors' report through carefully, and he thought that the hest mode they could adopt would be their supporting the directors in the most economical working of the line by loco motives, and to reduce the number of directors from 19 to 11. The meeting then separated. OPENING OF THE OSWESTRY EXTENSION OF THE SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER. This extension was publicly opened on Tuesday, Captain Symmons, the Government inspector, having previously gone over it, and certified its fitness for traffic, a large proportion of which will consist of mineral pro duce. Trains filled with passengers have been travers ing the line throughout the week. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER HAMPTON. Owing to the anxiety of the inhabitants of Worcester to have a direct communication with the northern and more populous parts of the country, efforts, it is under stood, will be made to open that part of the line that will connect them with the Great Western as early as possible. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.—The second tube at Conway was finally tested prior to its being opened for traffic yesterday. The other tube, which has now been in use for many months, will be closed for a time, so as to substitute sle e p e rs of iron for the present ones of wood, Mr. Stephenson having come to the conclusion that iron will be best. The entire structures will then consist of 2,600 tons of solid iron, slung over an actual span of 400 feet. LAST LANCASHIRE.—The last link in this line (of some 90 miles in length, and which, at a cost of between 2,000,0001. and 3,000,0001., completes the railway sys tem between Lancashire and Yorkshire, accommodating a population of 400,000 persons), from Burnley to Cole, where the main line becomes connected with the Leeds and Bradford, is now ready for opening. Goods trains, to test its structures and consolidate its permanent way traverse it daily, and the passenger traffic will caamence at the expiration of the month. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

No alteration in the mails to Ireland and Scotland. For all the above places the letter. boxes at the receiving houses will be open till seven o'clock A.M. for newspapers, and forty-five minutes past seven, A.m. for letters ; and those at the branch offices—Charing cross, Old Cavendish -street, and the Borough—for newspapers until half-past seven A.m., and for letters until eight A.M. At the General Post office, St. Martin's-le•Grand, and the branch office in Lombard-street, the boxes will close for newspapers at a quarter before eight A.m., and for letters at half-past eight A.M. - DETENTION OF THE MAILS EY THE SNow.—On Thursday morning several of the mail bags brought by the northern mails were detained in consequence of the obstructions caused by a sudden and exceedingly dense fall of snow on the Trent Valley line. The guard reports that in many parts of the line the snow lies from two to three feet deep, and that near Tamworth it is full four feet deep. Further north the fall has been considerable. The bage were about an hour behind in consequence, but the delivery of letters was made about the usual time, so that the delay was not felt by the public. It is reported that the lion. Stafford Jerningham is likely to purchase (and reside on) the L"arptree•court estate, the property of his noble relative, the late Earl of Waldegrave.—Bath Chronicle. Sir George Grey arrived in town yesterday evening, from his seat, Fallsdon, Northumberland. EXCISE REFORM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN... SIR,—You and many of your readers may recollect that a distillery was fitted up at the public expense a few years back in Browne's-lane, Spitalfields, for the trial of an invention designed for reducing the Excise establishment and preventing frauds in distilleries, thereby bringing into the Exchequer the immense sum admitted to be lost every year in consequence of the costly and inefficient mode of collecting the spirit duties in those establishments. The project (although strongly recommended by Professor Brand, Sir John Lubbock, and the lamented Dr. Birkbeck, who were specially deputed to investi gate its merits by the Melbourne Administration) was condemned by the lion. Commissioners of Excise, who, it is manifest, could not have been its unprejudiced or disinterested judges, and the Execu tive thought proper to abide by their decision. Its unfortunate inventor, Captain Henry Rudkin (formerly of Cornea house, county Carlow), having embarked his all in the cause of science and retrench ment, went to the grave literally broken-hearted on seeing the result of his many years' labour so unjustly crushed, as he well knew, for the maintenance of patronage. I humbly beg to introduce myself to your notice, and that of your readers, as the son of that gen tleman. Now that I see every prospect of ultimate success, it is my intention to leave nothing undone to convince the public that the caws() of finance, honesty, and good government imperiously demands the adoption of my invention in every distillery, as a fair trial of its merits under the care of scientific men unconnected with the Excise, would prove that it is, in the first place, calculated to free the distiller from all the im pediments and interference to which he is now sub jected in the prosecution of his business. Secondly, to determine with the greatest nicety the precise quantity of spirits distilled, with every requisite in formation respecting temperature and specific gravity ; and, thirdly, to collect the spirit duties at one quarter the cost of the existing system, with the security to the revenue which that mod e i s d es i gne d t o g i ve, but in which it is too often defective. It is, Sir, my most ardent wish to see this country freed from the galling fetters with which the Excise laws have too long enslaved its science and its com merce. Should this letter meet with your approbation, I would solicit the honour of being pel witted to Ad dress you and your readers further on the subject, for nothing but the support of the public press, and all friends to financial reform, will save me and my pro ject from being overthrown by the opposition emanat ing from the Board of Excise and others deeply inte rested in the question at issue. In conclusion, I beg to observe, that although some of my statements may appear strange, they are never theless true, supported as they are by evidence which cannot be controverted. Humbly begging pardon for so long intruding, I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, J. B. RUDKIN. 34, Tabernacle-row, City road, Jan. 5, 1849. METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. --The Commissioners of the Metropolitan Sewers held a general meeting:on Thursday, at the court house in Greek-street, Soho-square. The Hon. F. B)ng presided, and the otltyr Commisioners present were viscount Ebrington, M.P., Mr. Edwin Chadwick, Dr. Southwood Smith, Mr. Lam bert Jones, Mr. Leslie, the Rev. William Stone, Mt.. Broderip, Mr. Bidwell, Mr. Buller, and Mr. Hutton. The business transacted was little more than ordinary routine, but among it was an application from the East and West India Dock Railway Company to extend the time for the payment of 1,000/., the last remaining un paid instalment of a sum of 3,0001. agreed to be contri buted by the company towards the construction of cer tain sowers in Islington. This application was seceded to. In the course of the meeting a detailed return of the exact number, dimension', and condition of the sewers within the present boundaries of their jurisdic tion was laid before the Commissioners, who ordered it to be printed. The proceedings then terminated. PRESENTATION OF A TESTIMONIAL TO R. ONSLOW ESQ., THE LATE DEPUTY CLERK OF THE PEACE FOR THE COUNTY OF SURREY.—The magistrates of the county of Surrey presented to the labovegentleMana very handsome testimonial at the dinner on Tuesday evening last, at the London Tavern. It consisted of a massive salver and a purse of gold; and to show the esti mation in which the Learned Gentleman was held fifty magistrates were in attendance, a greater number than ever before assembled together. Alter dinner the Earl of Lovelace (Lord-Lieutenant of the county) presented the testimonial in a very complimentary manner, and the four chairmen of the quarter sessions addressed Mr. Onslow in flattering terms for the very upright and proper manner in which he performed his duty to the county for seven years, while acting as deputy clerk of the peace during the illness of the late Mr. Lawson. Mr. Onslow is much respected by all persons who have had any business with him; and to show the esteem in which the gentlemen of the bar held him, they presented him with a magnificent present at the Michaelmas quarter sessions. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On Thursday, an inquest was held at Camberwell, on view of the body of a middle-aged man of respectable appearance. Mr. Wright, landlord of the Bull's Head, said that on Tues day evening, about four o'clock, the deceased came into his house, and asked if he could bo accommodated with a bed for the night. He was answered in the affirma tive, and he then went into the parlour, where he re mained until eleven o'clock, when he retired to bed. On the following morning, Mr. Wright having had oc casion to go into the room to take away some article required for immediate use, found the deceased lying on the bed with his throat cut in a shocking manner, and a bloody razor firmly clenched in:his right hand. He was quite cold at this time, so that he must have in• flitted the fatal wound some [hours before. A piece of paper wa s xt fo y un a d dd in re t s h s e , jdoechenayseodr'sjepyo, Bristol."cket,o Witnessnwhichwas written, , said that a communication had been made to the super intendent. The jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased died from the effects of a wound in his throat, inflicted by himself with a razor, but what his state of mind was at the time of inflicting such wound, there was no evidence before them to show." The deceased ap peared to be about fifty years of age, and was respect ably dressed. his body will remain for a few days at the house of Mr. Wild, the undertaker, Camberwell grcen, where it can be seen, ADJOURNMENT OF THE GLASGOW WINTER CIR CUIT.—The Winter Circuit Court, which was to have been opened here on Tuesday by Lords Moncrieff and Medwyn, has been adjourned by the Court of Justiciary, according to the following announcement:—" Edinburgh, Dec. 30, 1848. My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your Lordship, that in consequence of a communication from Mr. Alison, the Sheriff of Lanarkshire, relative to the state of cholera in Glasgow, the Court of Justiciary have this day, on mature consideration, passed an Act of Adjournal, discharging the previous order appointing the Circuit Court to be held in Glasgow on Tuesday next, the 3d January, 1849. Another day for holding this winter circuit will be appointed, as soon as the authority of the Queen in Council can be obtained. In the meantime, a certified copy of the Act of Adjournal will be sent to your Lordship by the Clerk of Justiciary, for your guidance. — l have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient servant, JAMBS W. MON ERIEFF.—The Lord Provost of Glasgow."—Glasgow Chronicle. DEATH or B. TUEQUAND, ESQ.—It is with deep regret that we announce the sudden decease, on Saturday last, of Mr. Turquand, late Deputy-Receiver-General. Ho was a man universally and deservedly respected, courteous and obliging in the performance of his official duties, and, in private life, an amiable and exemplary member of society. Mr. Turquand had, we believe, been upwards of thirty years in the public service, and to him was justly due the merit of the admirable system now practised in the important department of which he was the non-political head. He leaves a widow and family, with whose irreparable loss all who knew him will warmly sympathise. —Montreal Herald, Dec. 12. LIBERALITY OF THE EARL OF ABERDEEN.—We learn from the Scotch journals that the Earl of Aber deen has given orders for a first-rate barometer, to be placed in a solid block of granite, and to be fixed in a conspicuous and accessible spot on the coast, near Aber deen, for the sole use and advantage of the fishermen or that neighbourhood. "We have no doubt," says the paper from which we quote, " that this very appropriate and handsome present of the Earl of Aberdeen will be duly valued by his Lordship's tenantry; and we are sure that the hardy and fearless race of fishermen will not fail to evince their gratitude to the Noble Earl by strictly attending to the indications of the barometer, and thus save their property and their lives from de struction, and their wives and families from destitution." BISHOP HAMPDEN AND THE DEAN OF HEREFORD. —Another serious difference has occurred between Bishop Hampden and Dr. Merewether, which has al ready given rise to " a protest " on the part of the Dean, and much angry recrimination. The circumstances are as follow:—Some weeks since, the prebendal stall of Moreton and VVhaddon, in the Cathedral Church of Hereford, became vacant by the death of the Rev. R. N. Pemberton. This, and the other prebendal stalls, are merely honorary canonries, which entitle the holders to no benefits in connexion with the Cathedral, and were not even supposed to confer the power of voting in capitular assemblies until the recent election of Dr. Hampden to the see; but upon that occasion the honorary Pre.. bendaries voted under the protest of the Dean and one of the Canons residentiary (Huntingford). All the prebendal stalls (at least so it is stated) have, up to the present time, been conferred on clergymen beneficed within the diocese of Hereford, the honorary prebend having been founded to enable the Bishop to reward de serving clergymen under bis own ecclesiastical jurisdic tion. Dr. Hampden has (according to the Dean's statement) disregarded this ancient custom, and has pre sented the canonry to clergymen from a distant county, the Bishop's nominee being the Rev. George Clark, M.A., Vicar of Cantles, Yorkshire, who has also been nominated Bishop Hampden's chaplain. The Dean of Hereford has protested against the appointment, en the grounds stated, and the Bishop, to whom the sole right of nomination belo ngs , seems resolved to s t an d t o hi s nomination. The matter will, in all probability, be re ferred to the Archbishop of Canterbury for his opinion.

WAKEFIELD, JAN. s.—The supplie3, are good of wheat and barley, and moderate of other grain. There is not much business passing in wheat, and the prices of last week are barely supported. Barley is rather cheaper, and demand confined to heavy qualities. Oats and shelling sell slowly at last week's prices. Beans and other articles without change.

NEWBURY, JAN. 4.—Our supply of wheat to-day is only moderate. The demand continues in the same dull state as for the last few weeks past ; and although we cannot report any great decline, yet but little business was done, at rather declining rates. Badvy, large sup ply; and there being but few buyers, trade was extremely leek, a e l . 'ned le rates of last week. Beans, (ats, auo peas moderate eupely. So liele besluess was done in these articles, that we can scarcely note prices ; but had tie r been a dispoeitioe to purchase, much lower rates would have been submitted to. Averages—Wl:oA 765 qrs., et 45s Eiid; Barley, 832 qrs., at 31s 21d; Beans, 15 qrs., at 343 per qr. LIVERPOOL, JAN. s.—At this day's market there was a fair attendaece of dealers, and a moderate show of wheat, oats, &c. The demand for wheat was hi - lifted in the extreme, without any material change in the value of old, but Irish new was pressed at a small decline. Flour was like:else dull, and barely supported previous rates. Oats and oatmeal were, without change in value, but the sale was very slow. Malting barley was is per quarter lower; but in other kinds there was no altera tion. Beans and peas were quite neglected. The trans actions in Indian corn were much less than usual, and the better qualities were easier to purchase. We heard of no sales of bonded wh at ; but a few parcels of flour were reported to have changed hands, at 25s 61 per brl. EXETER, JAN. s.—Cattle market—The supply to day was again small, rather less than last week, and there being a greater number of dealers present, prices were rather firmer. For the best fat beef nine shillings per score was given, the price ranging from eight shil lings to that figure. For cows and calves higher prices were also asked, and sales were effected at from 91 to 15/; barreners were about late rates, 4s 4d-to 5s per score, very fresh ones being worth a little more than the letter figure. Butchers' calves 51d to 6d per lb. A small supply of sheep with a rather better demand, prime wethers selling at *1 to 6d per lb, and ewes, 5d 5,-}d. A moderate supply of pigs. Pork carcases—The supply was larger than last week, with a duller demand, but prices remained the same, from 8s to 9s per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s to lOs each; geese, 41 6d to 6s 6d ditto ; ducks, 4s 6d to 5a 6d per couple ; fowls, 2s 9d to 4s 6d ditto ; partridges, 33 per brace; pheasants, 6s to Cs 6d ditto ; woodcocks, 6s ditto ; hares, 3s 3d to 3s 6d each ; snipes, is 4d to Is 6d per couple ; wild ducks, 5s ditto; butter, Is 2d per lb ; eggs, twelve for ls. Potatoes, is 23 to is 3d per score; turnips, 3d to 4d ditto ; onions, Id per lb ; parsnips, 21b. for lid. Corn Exchange—The market has been again depressed to •day, the millers showing great reluctance to purchase more than for immediate wants, owing to the near approach of the Ist of February. This circumstance has rendered foreign wheat entirely unsaleable, as the duty being now 9s per quarter added to its bonded price, makes it con. siderably dearer than English wheat. Best samples of best new English wheat sold slowly at from 6s 6d to Gs 93 ; barley, for malting, 3s 93 to 4a per bushel, for grinding;, 3s to 3s 63; oats, 2s 2d t o 2 s 4 d ditto ; fine flour, 38s to 40s per sack, the mill ers purc h as i ng but very sparely. TOTNES GREAT MARKET, JAN 2. There was a rather small supply of fat stock exhibited to-day, with a tolerably good attendance of buyers. The market commenced somewhat lively, but it wound up as flat as ever. Wool was in demand at a higher rate than before. Corn nominally the same. Best fat bullocks, 48s to 525; middling de criptions, 46s to 48s ; rough quality, 42a to 44e; stun. stock, 30s; cows and calves, 42s to 48s per cwt, sinking the offal. Sheep—wethers, 5 : 1(1 to sid ; ewes, 5d to sid per lb. W oo l, 6d to h id , 211 b. to the score, in its grease. Corn—We have very little old wheat left on hand, and the new grain is still damp, the greater part of which is unsaleable, and the transactions here are exceedingly small at present in the corn trade. Our millers are using foreign grain with a very small quantity of old and new English wheat mixed therewith. Old wheat, about 14s; new, 9s to 12s 6d ; barley, 5s to 7s; oats, 5s to 7s per bag.

TIVERTON, JAN. 2.—A downward tendency was again visible in our corn market on iTuesday last. The best samples produced fetched only 6s, whilst some poor samples were offered as low as 4s Bd, arid we heard of 4s 63 at at a later period in the day.

CHELTENHAM, JAN. 4.—Very little business done to day, and prices were at a stand still. The general average for last week was, for wheat 503 9d; for barley, 32s 9d; and for oats 25s 5d per quarter. Ts SKII,B3URY, JAN. 2.—Wheat, 217 s 10d; barley 11 Its 70.

A short supply of wheat, but a large supply of other grain. SCARBOROUGH, JAN. s.—Corn--The corn trade here to day is without animation.

INVERNESS, JAN. 2.—Prices still looking down in our local market, as well as at Mark-lane and the other great ruling markets. Farmers, however, hold the opinion, whether well or ill-grounded, that a reaction will take place, and they reserve their stocks accordingly. No great amount of sales have consequently taken place. Little or no old wheat is now brought in. New may be quoted 2s lower per quarter. Oats are is down on the top. Potatoes for exportation to the south have brought high prices—as much as 22s having been paid—but the market seems now overstocked.
