T:to followinz is what Blackstone says on the subject of traversing :—" But it is not customary, nor agreeable to the general course of proceedings (unless by con sent of parties, or where the defendant is actually in gaol), to try persons indicted of smaller misdemeanors at the same Court in which they have pleaded not guilty or traversed in the indictment. But they usually give security to the Court to appear at the next as.mizes or sessions, and then and there to try the traverse, giving notice to the prosecutor of the same." From which we infer that no favour or affection has been shown to Mr. O'Connor or others by allowing them to traverse till the next session or assize. It is a matter of usage. and therefore of right.

Such a nrss of trouble and annoyance to gather a sum no equal to the Malt tax or the Sugar duties, of the vexa tious collection of which nobody ever hears, was never before inflicted on any people. Happily for the public this will fall on the electors, and if they tolerate it, they will have no persons to blame but themselves. The hardship of persons being called on in the middle of October to make a second return, after they have been obliged to make one in Se tember, is so well put by the Post, whose ob servations we have transferred to our columns, that it would be superfluous to add a word on the subject. We will only say that, like the Globe, we can confirm the statement of the Post, and affirm that the strained interpretation of the clause we have pointed out will reach a number of persons who have not till now dreamed that they would ever be su►,►jected to such a pro digious annoyance. The Marquis oT LONDONDERRY, following up the war he waged so perseveringly, albeit equally unsuccessfully, against the Mines and Collieries Bill, has published a letter to Lord ASHLEY, M.P., in which he renews his attacks. The Noble Marquis has reproduced most of the de bates on the subject in the House of Lords, and has garnished them with sundry observations and documents, the latter of which have not before been brought under the notice of the public. Whatever may be thought of the lan guage used by the Noble Marquis, all impartial men will admit that he makes out a strong case against the Commissioners, Sub-Commis sioners, and the bulk of the persons anxiou s to pass the Bill, from Lord ASHLEY down to the lowest sub of the Commission. Haste, in temperance, and exaggeration are visible in all their sayings and doings, combined with no small degree of ignorance. For the first time in their lives, most of the gentlemen became acquainted with the interior of a mine or a colliery, arid the horror they experienced in consequence of their ignorance they communicated to the public. The deed, however, is now done, the law has been passed, and there has been an insurrection amongst the colliers, which will not be the last. Lord ASHLEY'S Bill has applied the match to the long-smouldering discontent of that burly, sincere, but not very enlightened class of men. Lord LONDONDERRY, towards the conclusion of his pamphlet, gives the following summary of the whole proceedings:— My Lord, I have again and again said this subject has been handled with great indecency, from first to last. It was born in caprice, and not in consequence of the necessity of the case; it was carried on in a manner that would not stand an hour in a Court or Justice, inasmuch as the evidence was that of the plaintiffs, the defendant being out of court, and not out by choice, but out by force, by cunning, by con trivance. It was concocted, as its own pages record, on testimony to be taken with reservation, the wit nesses not being trustworthy in many cases; it was based in its principles, and carried out by men whose fitness for the office they were charged with is more than doubtful. Taking, then, all these things to gether, I cannot resist saying that it is to me a sub ject of extreme sorrow and disgust, that so serious a matter should have been thus unfairly dealt with; so precipitately carried on, with such reprehensible— indeed I may say such disgraceful blunders—blunders, the number and quality of which astonish every person in the slightest degree acquainted with these proceedings. It is not very often that we have the honour to agree with a Tory Lord Lieutenant, who did us the honour to quote some of our argu ments in the House of Lords, and our coin cidence on this occasion goes far to establish the truth of our conjoint opinion. Whatever motives may be imputed to the Noble Marquis, we know that ours are free from every taint. We have heard with much satisfaction that the Liberals have taken it into consideration, how they can best publicly express their ad miration of the noble conduct of Miss MAR TINEAU. Labouring under sickness, and not being in affluence, this spirited lady, who has by her writings done so much to enlighten her countrymen, declined to receive one of those pensions which other literary characters seek as an honourable reward. She has acted well up to the Liberal principles she has professed, and has redeemed them from the reproach and scandal brought on them by others, who have made them but a handle to their own advance ment. We have published her excellent letter, the sentiments of which will be so generally read and applauded, that any recommendation from us is entirely superfluous. That this lady has set the almost unprecedented example of refusing to touch the public money when it was offered her, should excite deep gratitude in the whole body of the tax payers. It will make many others ashamed of being less con sistent, and less nobly independent, and will dry up many a source of profligate expenditure. We trust, therefore, that suitable means will be ' devised to express, in the most honourable and feeling manner, the public approbation of Miss MARTINEAU'S conduct; and that the whole world, and all posterity, may be taught that public virtue amongst a virtuous people will assuredly meet its appropriate reward. We will suggest nothing further than to say that Miss MARTI.. NEAU, who has evidently consulted only her own upright heart, and not had the public approba tion in the distant prospect, ought not to expe rience the slightest pecuniary difficulty by her patriotic self-denial. With good taste, and with much public spirit, the )‘S - ational Association yesterday evening gave a :ea party and festival at their Hall, in honour of Mr. 'I. DUNCO3IBE, the Member for Finsbury, ti;e firm friend of the liberties of the people. Between three and four hundred per sons, including ~ many ladies, were present, and the Chair was occupied by Colonel THOMPSON. After some spirited t.'nd just eulogies pronounced by the Chairman an Dr. EPPS on Mr. DUN COMBE, that gentleman expressed his gratitude for the kindness shown NMI in an able and elo quent speech. He proved .in his own person, as we hope will yet be proved .in the case of Miss MawriNEAtr, that public virtue is rewarded by public honour, and that when public men have complained of the caprice and \asesertiou of the people, they have themselves, first of all, de serted the public cause. Mr. DuivcomnE made a point of denouncing, as it deserves, the rabid partisan oration of Lord ABINGER whit; ' he de livered from ele judgment-seat, and whico is so little like what a charge to a Grand Jury being both - le ought to be. Lord ABSNGER, gislator and a Judge, must, or, at leas., ought to have known, Mr. DUNCOMBZ observed, that the people were plunwed into the deepest distress, and as a Judge he falsely repre sented their condition in order to conceal his er rors and his faults as a lawmaker. His charge mi2,•ht be very acceptable, Mr. DUNCOMBE ob served, to the recreant Sir JAMES GRAHAM, but it is a perversion of the functions of the Judge, which offends all upright men, and tends to bring the administration of the law into contempt. If it have been correctly reported, of which there is no doubt, it is impossible, Mr. DUNCO3IBE said, that the House of Commons should be assembled many days without having that charge seriously and solemnly brought under its notice. If no other Member undertake the task Mr. DUN COMDE pledged himself to do it, and the an nouncement, as well as every censure he applied to . the Judge, was followed by general and coffin sDlau.NsticeoNefilsece, and he irs.n Tlisl-villl make good from Mr. As l ong as the electors of Finsb g t . i o r o y a k iis e l ep P h ic hui tl i e n . the House of Commons, the people will not want one hone st an d faithful servant, ' and we consider the flatte r i n g reception he met with as a sure of his success in his undertaking.

PEEL and the results of last session, the great majority of the discon tented submit to their fate with a degree of re signation and self-denial which would do honour to a stoic. Even those who are inclined to rebel, and who believed with the Duke of RICHMOND, that they could dethrone their own idol if he failed to cherish and protect them, now tremble at the very idea. They are fairly saddled with the Income-tax for three years, and to a cer tainty also with the Tariff and Corn-law Bills for the same period, for no Ministry, however much addicted to Toryism and monopoly, would, it' they could, without a fair trial, venture to re peal measures of such a general and important character. The farmers' friends, too, have the fear of two possi'ile, or rather certain con sequences before their eyes, a division in their own camp, and a coalition between the Liberals and the free-trade Conservatives. An Opposition consisting of nearly three hundred Members is rather a formidable body acting against a divided enemy, and as Sir R. PEEL repeatedly declared, ' that if his supporters rejected his measures they must also reject him, it requires no powers of di vination to foresee what, in such an emergency, would be his line of conduct. It would therefore be vain to appeal to the friend of the Church, Lord STANLEY, or to the Duke of RICHMOND, the friend of the fa/piers, or to any other party who would revert t the obsolete and exploded system of protecting certain classes at the ex pense of all the rest. A small infusion of Con servatism into the Liberal scale would soon turn the balance, and then they would find a Conserva tive Government and something less. Vast de fects still remain in our commercial system. We cannot afford to lose the trade with Brazil, amounting, in manufactures from this country, to six millions sterling, in order to keep up a monopoly in favour of West India proprietors, to whom the people of thi, country, poor as well as rich, have paid twenty millions sterling, an ample release from all obligations. We have affairs to settle with the Americans. The new Corn-law as regards them is a dead letter; and if we wish to cultivate friendship with our best customers, and induce them to modify their tariff, we must abolish the sliding scale, and put meat, cattle, corn, and cotton all on the same footing. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S principles on free trade would lead him, even hampered as lie is, to go a long way to conciliate the vast and in creasing population in the New World, and when he shall have on his right hand Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Mr. ROEBUCK, and on his left Mr. BARING and Mr. CHAS. BULLER, with Lord STANLEY, and the " remnant of a broken fac tion "in front, he will be inclined, as well as compelled, to go mue:t further. The German Union is another obstacle in the way, and as he professes himself a disciple of that clear-headed and skillful commercial reformer, the late Mr. HUSKISSON, he must make some concessions, to counteract the plans of that powerful confede racy. As regards France, much cannot be done. The prejudices of the people and the bigotry of the press, as well as the selfish propensities of the influential men in the Chambers, will, for some time at least, prevent any extensive com mercial intercourse with that country. But some thing, however, may be effected ; not by treaties which are easily broken, as we know from experience, and much more easily evaded, but by reducing extravagant duties, by consulting the interests of our own people, without reference to those of other countries, and by a general system of liberal policy, which in time will dispel the ignorance even of the most bigoted monopolists of France. It is need less to recount the other countries with which we have commercial relations unsettled, for, with the exception of the United States and Brazil, they are of DO importance as compared with the vast field which is opening for us in the East. It is to that quarter we must look. China and India, and the numerous islands in the Asiatic seas, could furnish employment for all the hands and mills in Lancashire and the West Riding of York, and it will be the fault of our rulers if we do not profit by an opportunity which may never again recur. The old Tories are, therefore, in what our Ameri can friends call a " dead fix," and must either stand stock still, or move in the line chalked out for them by Sir ROBERT PEEL. More tariffs are yet to come, and though it is generally considered ungenerous to trample on the fallen, yet we cannot pity men ,who looked only to their own interests, robbed the poor and protected the rich, and were at last driven to the necessity of choosing a leader who repro bates their selfish doctrines, and sets them at defiance. We extract an article on the "Restoration of the Manufacture of Watches to Great Britain," which appeared in the Standard of Saturday, and is copied into the Times and Chronicle of this morning. W e presume our last-named Contem porary does not mean by copying it to adopt the false principles of political economy and often refuted libels upon the Manchester manufac turers which it contains. Without meaning to say one word against the business por tion of this article, of which we are inclined to think favourably, or the respectability of the gentlemen whose names are mentioned as connected with the undertaking, which is undoubted, we must protest against the grounds that are assigned for the loss both of our manu facture of watches and our manufacture of cottons. The latter is not lost, but has been yearly increasing, innmuch as machinery has enabled it to be so lowered in price as to place it within the compass of all whom our restric tive laws will permit to receive it; and 'le former Las been only lost, not from the causes assigned, but simply because machinery has not hitherto been employed in the Manufactory of watches, and hand-labour could be had cheaper in Switzerland thaA in England. Nov that machinery is likely, on a large scale, to be applied to the different pro cesse of watchmaking, the trade will doubtless grow up in the same way as the cotton-trade did, under similar circumstances; and if those restric tive laws on the importation of the chief thing ibreigners have to give us in exchange be abo lished, there is little doubt 't* the cotton, the silk, the cloth, and the watchmallig trades will grow up in spite of FERRAND'S Devil's-dust, or the , Standard's hypothetical demolition of all our manufacturing towns. ." We congratulate our Morning and Evening Contemporaries on the hgroepaet adtheireeotnovetil.isiisoncloipuonntrtyh b is y sub m confidence they express of the restoration of one j a e c c h t i n to e r h y e , s a i n n d . cere, so as to prevent any further libels and inu - endos upon the communities and individuals con n ected with it in this country. l'he course adopted by the Marylebone Vestry on Oaturday in reference to the erection of a monument to the Scotch Reformers, appears very :s . ..ngular, and can be accounted fcr only by suppoE:ing that members did not know for what questic la they were voting. The motion of Mr. JosEPH, too, for re committing the Report was, to say the lease of it, very ill-timed. Had he moved thiV the Report be adopted, the question would ha,r,. been settled, whereas it must be brought fon yard at some future, perhaps dis tant, meeting, thereby giving the opponents of the measure ,Tew opportunities of throwing obstacles in th. way. A liberal Vestry should have allowed ino. doubts to exist as to their motives for delay , , and marked their high regard fi,r the memory .0! the deceased Reformers by carrying the moti c:.n at once. Madrid rapers of t.lie 15th and 16th have been received. Most of Liberal journals devote their leading articles to the memory of General DIEGO LEON, it being th P anniversary of the day of his execution. Some o f the journals appearecl, in mourning, and it is impossible to give an idea °tithe reproaches uttered against the REGENT on that affair. A very serious manifestation took place in the capital .in consequence of the day—all the most distingaished inhabitants of the capital appeared in niourning, and the , churches were thronged, the I nasses having been appropriated to the deceased General.

Both the Morning Post and the Globe have noticed a great and unnecessary trouble which those who are appointed to collect the Income ta are inflicting on a great number of persons. By the 106th clause, relating "to the districts in which the duties are to be charged," it is enacted " that every person being a householder shall be charged to the duties contained in Schedule 1). by Commissioners for the parish or place where his dwelling-house shall be situate ;" " except every person engaged in any trade, manufacture, adventure, or concern, or any profession, em ployment, or vocation, who shall be chargeable by the respective Commissioners acting for the parish or place where such profession, employ ment, or vocation shall be exercised." We do not profess to be learned in construing the gib berish in which it pleases the Legislature to clothe and hide its will ; but as far as we can comprehend the words, spirit, and meaning of the clause, it applies, and is meant to apply, ex clusively, to those persons who have establish ments for carrying on or engaging in any trade, profession, orvocation. It is not meant to apply to the persons whom they may occasionally or p erm anently employ. It is meant, for example to apply to the tradesman who has a shop in the Strand and a mpstead,anddvvht) house at Ha in one place and , ex makes his profits n 0 ;1 1, s them in another, but not to the fore traveller he employs. It is meant to apply to ther: and who has cham bers in Lincoln's Inn•fieldsmeadata v t illa at Putney, not to his clerks. It is o . appl barrister whose place of business is the Temple , , and who lives in Bedford-square, that his return may be made to the C,rnmissioners for the Temple, and not to any and every p erson he may occasionally employ. It is meant, we b elieve, to apply to the partners in the house of COUTTs and Co., whose place of business is in the Strand, and whose palaces are in many counties, but not to the persons who are hired by them. Butthose who are Collecting this tax take a different view of this . el ause, and th e y are now ca lli ng on p ersons w h o tk ave - no doubl e esta b l i shments, w h o are merely the Servants receiving wages of those who carry on busin ess, to mak returns at the spot where the:v are employed.

The gerant of the Postada has just been Con demned to two months' imprisonment and 500 reals fine, for publishing offensive articles against M. GONZALES. The Three per Cents. were done on the 14th at 211 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 23 . 1 for cash, and 27 at 60 days. The Current Debt sold at 11 for cash. On the 15th the Three per Cents. were nep tiated at 20 1 1 for cash, and 21i at GO days; and the Five per Cents. at 261 fbr cash, and at GO days. The Paris papers which have been received contain long comments on Lord ABERDEEN'S let ter, but, with the exception of one article i►► the Journal des Debats, and another i❑ the Siecle, which we have given elsewhere, they possess little interest. The Moniteur of Saturday pub lishes three Royal ordonnances, dated 21st inst.; the first appointing Marshal Duke DE REGGIO Governor of the Invalides ; the second appoint ing Marshal GERARD Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, in the place of the Duke DE REGGIO; and the third giving the post of Com mander-in-Chief of the National Guards of the Seine to Lieutenant-General JACQUEMINOT. Al luding to these appointments, the Monileur says: " During the four years that Marshal Gerard has been at the head of the National Guards of the de partment of the Seine he has nobly responded to the confidence of the King, and added new services to those which had long since rendered his name one of the most glorious in France. The King, in his soli citude for the health and repose of the illustrious Mar shal, rcently tried by cruel afflictions, has again con fided to him the past of Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, knowing well that, if difficult circumstances were to arise, the King and France could always reckon in case of need on the devoted ness of Marshal Gerard." The Journal des Debats says that the visit of the Commerce :Minister to the south is for the purpose of visiting the works on the Rhone for resisting inundation and render►ng the river more navigable. All the suspension bridges, too, must be raised—a work of sonic difficulty. The con struction of a dock at Marseilles is considered necessary to aid that town to compete with the Italian towns that are taking away its transit trade. The Commerce publishes a speech made in the Municipal Council of Carcassone, a cloth manu facturing town of the south, on the proposed treaty of commerce with Belgium. The re-union of Belgium to France, under the empire, say the people of Carcassone, caused the definitive of their extensive commerce with the Levant created by Colbert. The _Belgian manufacturers, and those of the Rhenish provinces destroyed the cloth trade of the south of Fiance. The Muni pal Council voted the sending of a remonstrance of this tenor to the Minister. Private letters from Paris contradict the report that new negotiations for a commercial treaty were on the point of bei.:g opened between this country and France ; and also state, that the attempts made to effect a customs' union be tween Belgium and France have failed; and that King LEOPOLD will leave St. Cloud for Brussels on the 7th of November. The National, which still rails against M. Guizor and the English, derives some consola tion from a report that an opposition has been formed against the existing Ministry, under the direction of Count MoLE, with M. DE SALVANDY and M. DE LAMARTINE as assistants. The ob• ject is to restore M. THIBRS to the Cabinet, and from the wonderful change which that gentleman has undergone lately, it may be inferred that he is determined to make the attempt. " That party," the writer adds, " will command 30 votes in the Chamber of Deputies, and are determined to give a strong opposition to the Government in conjunction with M. TRIERS' friends and the other fractions of the ancient Opposition." It is added, that the Cabinet is :lurch shaken by the appearance of this new enemy, whi c h wou ld present itself with th e pre tensions to arrange all questions of internal and external policy upon which the present Ministers are said to sleep. The result of this combination ace a TRIERS-MOLE Ministry. may possibly prod General Count DELABORDE, Aide-de-Camp to the KING, died at Paris on Thursday. He was a member of the Academy of Science, a n d t ill l ast session one of the Questors of the Chamber of Deputies, which post he resigned on account of bad health. "H e was a man," says Galignani's Messenger, c. of most benevolent character, of amiable mariners, a great encourager of the arts, and author of several important artistica' works. He was also a good English scholar, and was in close correspondence with many of the most dis tinguished men in England. A Berlin letter of the 12th inst. announces the arrival in that city of the Duc DE BROGLIE, who, it says, met with a most flattering reception. BOURSE—PARIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22.

At Bolton and Holmfirth, during the past week, trade has been better,, and at Rochdale the demand brisk. At Leicester, Leeds, and Bradford the markets have been stationary.' At Manchester trade is still unpromising. The meeting of the Directors of the North Mid. land Railway was held on Tuesday and Wednesday last at Derby. Reductions in the expenditure, to the amount of 17,7881., had already been proposed, but on further revision the reduction of several thousand pounds beyond this sum will, it is said, be recom mended. The Committee were to meet again last Friday upon this and 'other matters. The Brussels railroad, from Courtray to Tourney, will be opened on the 23d of October. The section of Turcoing will be inaugurated on the 15th, by the King. The manufacture of watches in 1796, amounted in number to 191,678, but last year's returns show it to have fallen to 100,600.

CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The En-slish Stock Market continued up to the close to be rather in favour of the buyer, the differ ence however, as compared with Saturday being barely par cent. since, for to-morrow the transfers were at 93a to 934, and for time at 934 buyers. After so material an advance in prices recently it could not but be expected that some party should come forward, being tempted to sell. Exchequer Bills at 24 were 58 premium; New Three-and-a- Half ;per Cents. ranged from 1014 to 1018 ; and the Three per Cent. Annuities brought 924 to 93. In the Foreign Mar, et there was more activity to - day, and prices were subject to greater fluctuation than on ony single day for some time past. Portu guese Stock declined, the New Five per Cents. to 381, and the Converted to 321, the Three per Cents. however, not being lower than 231. The speculation so far has for the present received a check, and whether it will be continued for the rise or the fall remains to be seen. The Spanish Five per Cents., owing to the accounts from Madrid being considered more favourable, improved to 168 and the Three per • Cents. to 211. Colombian was quiet at 208, and Mexican at 321. French Three per Cents. brought 80 25, and the Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. improved to 52-g- and 52*. At Amsterdam on Friday the market was brisk, and prices were buoyant. The Railway Shares appeared to be more saleable, and the principal lines were taken at about 134 dis. for Brighton, at 18 premium for Great Western, and at 16i premium for South Western. (From The Sun of Last Night.) Advices have come to hand this morning to the 6th August from the Cape of Good Hope, by which we have fuller details of the engagements at Natal, and there are also aciJices of the arrangements effected for establishing the British dominion in that quarter. All the Boers had been pardoned with the exception of Pruisla, Burger, and the two Bredas ; even Pretorious though at first proscribed, having subsequently on account of his kind treatment of the prisoners, and his efforts to effect a cessation of hos tilities, been included in the amnesty proclaimed by Colonel Cloete. The furthers were to remain in pos session of their property and lands, except such as is , found necessary for the troops, until her Majesty's pleasure is known, and are to be pro tected against the Zoolas, the latter, however, also being secured in their territory. Great com plaints are made by the few English loyalists at Natal, of the neglect they have experienced from the Government, for although their property was ordered to be restored, they were ccompelled to fetch it themselves from the distant camp cif the Dutch farmers, and received it back in so damaged a condition as to render it of scarcely half the original value. The cattle, too, seized upon by the Boers could not be recovered, nor that taken by our troops. One Englishman, who rendered most im portant services to Captain Smith, for which the Dutch plundered and imprisoned him, having been actually told by Colonel Cloete that he might think himself well off. Captain Smith remained at Natal with 350 men, and in testimony of his gallant defence the inhabitants of Cape Town were subscribing to present him with a sword. The Caffre tribes in the neighbourhood of Natal were very strong, mustering 5,000 men, and even these were dissatisfied, in consequence of having to release cattle , taken from the Boers by command of Col. Cloete. It is said, but this appears doubtful, that the Boers had already sent out commandoes under the authority of the Colonel, and had slain several of the natives. From the Graham's Town frontier, we learn that a good deal of di3order prevailed. The Caffre tribes were suffering dreadfully, from the drought, and the frontier colonists were harassed k i thieves and rob bers. The Lieutenant-Governor, was about to take measures to exterminate a notorious band of plun dererS ; and, if necessary, to push back the whole tribe of Zoolas, which, from its restless character, had become very obnoxious to the neighbouring Caffres. The latest accounts received out from England, were to the 15th May. The accounts from Liverpool received this morn ing notice more activity in the Cotton market, the sales having been 6,000 bales. Of this quantity 2,500 bales were Surat of inferior quality, and sold a shade higher. _ _ _ In the Share Market London and Brighton had, been in more request at 364 ; but not much was done in the other Railways. Eastern Counties were at 91., and Edinburgh and Glasgow at 46k. The Funds have been steady to-day. Consols for immediate transfer have realised 92* to 93, and for the Account, 93,i- to 934 ; Exchequer Bills have ob tained 565. to 58s. premium; India Bonds are at 465. to 48s. premium; the New Three-and•a-Half per Cents. have been at 1011; and the Reduced at 1004.

DESTITUTION OF THE CAISSON, AND MELANCHOLY LOSS OF LIFE. The following letter.has been addressed to an Even ing Contemporary : _ Deptford, Oct. 24, 1842. Sir,—l beg to send you a copy of a letter I have re ceived this morning, informing me of the melancholy disaster which has occurred on the Goodwin Sands, in consequence of a ship laden with timber having ran upon the caisson, occasioning its destruction, and the loss of all hands on board, together with three men belonging to Deal, who vainly attempted to render as sistance.--I am, Sir, your obedient servant, WILLIAM BUSH, C. E. Royal Hotel, Deal, Sunday Evening, Oct. 23, 1842. My dear Sir,—Lieut. Batt, R.N., has just been in to inform me that the caisson has disappeared; from the observations he took himself, a ship laden with timber ran foul of the caisson—the said ship is gone to pieces, and all hands supposed to be lost, as none of them have been seen or heard of. We lost three of our boatmen, and two boats were capsized, but the crew swam ashore with the exception of the above -named men. To repeat the observations of a captain just come ashore, who made for the caisson for safety, saw the said ship so near that he took a different course ; hact a light been where it was, the ship would have been saved. This man has come ashore on purpose to congratulate you on this wonderful project. Let it be a light or beacon, Bush's name will, in America and France, go down to posterity, for he himself will speak as he found it, and you will hear from him as soon as l:e reaches his destination, signed by all the passen gers , who witnessed their fellow-creatures' death, and could not get near them to render any assistance. They were not far distantfrom the caisson when she first -struck ; her name is not known.—Yours, &c. (Signed) GEO. QUIDDINGTON. Mr. Wm. Bush, C. E., 25, Union-street, Deptford.

A Select Committee of the House of i t 'c ° , it mons sat upon this subject in the year 1 818, ' ber of appears from the Report, that in 1796 the nua'_. ths •• gold and silver watch-cases marked in Gold 1S hall amounted to 191,673 ; while in the year , 10 0 the gradual reduction had brought that number" 6, or to 102,112, exhibiting a diminution - of 8 9,5 , 6 l a b - t nearly one-half; and it further appears, from Wre," eaition of " M'Culloch's Dictionary of Como le o a n that that number was reduced in 1841 to 1e55 &le a 100,000. In one township alone in Lancaihire, cole„ts- l eo d, e .., Pres , ...ott, in which the manufacture of the mop fs' of watches was the staple there were in 1 821 :, 0 ° 7 feola , milies employed in handicrafts, 'while in Sa the manufacture of watches being utterly cisir y that number was reduced to only 540. 1 1 05 That which this country has lost, Scritzerlatt;4 10 chiefly gained; and it is proved that Eugl t a i r l a. e erf this respect, tributary to the Continent — year the quantity of foreign watches sold in Londonois i 5 and in the principal towns of the three king r ue , t arei more than tenfold the amount of those rnal'''''''' in England. e 70 104 5 ° The great injury to our manufactures an- to our trade is likely speedily to have an end , __ this man who has devoted tw e nty years of his lire w i l ich e : subject, having made a var i e ty of machine , by rie t . f ° 1 an incredible number of wa t c he s , of ever.)' v ` l ' ae le-n es • size, may be made in a d a y.
