EARFUL ACCIDENT AND NARROW ESCAPB. Yesterday morning it appears that Mr. R. Webb, o, Covent-garden, was trying a fine animal with another gentleman, in his dog-cart. when they had not pro ceeded further than Mr. John Kirby's, of Great Russell street, Blo,,mahury, on business; the moment Mr. Webb got into the gig the horse darted off at a terrific speed until it reached Museum-street, when a fearful collision took place. A large dust• cart was standing in the road, which no doubt alarmed the horse more, until he earne madly onward in the front, running the thick shaft of the cart above sixteen inches deep into the animal's stomach. The occurrence was so sudden that it is Miraculous how the gentlemen escaped with their lives. Mr. Webb had presence of mind to spring out on the Pavement, fortunately without sustaining more injuries t han a few bruises. The other gentleman was not hurt ' ,ll the least, nor the dog -cart or harness. The animal (li ed immediately.

(TIIIS DAY.) RE EXAMINATION OF MARIA MANNING AT SOUTHWARK POLICE-COURT. This being the day appointed for the re-examina tiers of Maria Manning, the interior of the court was nearly filled some time before 10 o'clock, the hour at which Mr. Seeker, the magistrate, took his seat upon the bench, and by 11 o'clock it became densely crowded. The approaches to the court were also besieged by a motly throng, who endeavoured, but in vain, to gain admission. Intense interest was mani fested by them to catch a sight of the prisoner, or to gain the slightest knowledge of the proceedings in side. Advantage was taken of the excitement which prevailed outside to palm off upon the more credulous members of the crowd portraits of Emily Sandford and the murderer Rush, as genuine and bona fide representations of Mrs. Manning and her husband and no doubt the vendors rE aped a good harvest by this ingenious strati gem to pander to the morbid tastes of the mob. Among the spectators present there wire a con siderable number of ladies, aid upon the bench by the side of the magistrate, we observed the Rev. Mr. Horton, the Rector of St. George's, Southwark ; the Rev. Mr. Armstrong, the Incumbent of St. Paul's, Bermondsey, the district in which the murder was committed; Mr. Hoare, the banker; the Rev. Mr. Russell, the Hon. Mr. Stanhope, and the Chief St ere tary to the Austrian Ambassador. We also noticed several artists, who attended fur the purpose of taking sketches of the prisoner. Every accommodation that the limited dimensions of the court would allow WAS provided for the re porters for the daily newspapers by Mr. Edwin, chief clerk of the court, whose urbanity and obliging con duct were highly commendable. The night charges, which were all of a trivial nature, occupied less than an hour, and were listened to with evident impatience. These having been dis posed of, the interval that elapsed before the arrival of the prisoner was long and tedious, and was passed in great discomfort by the occupants of the court, who were jammed and packed together in every available space. Mr. Hayward, of the Treasury, attended to watch the prosecution, and Mr. Soloman appeared on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. SECKER, shortly after twelve o'clock, requested the persons occupying the passages from the cells to the dock to remove to some adjoining place, in order that the prisoner might not be jostled or embarrassed in her entry into the court, intimating at the same time that they should be allowed to resume their former positions after the prisoner had been brought in. This request was ultimately complied with, although with some degree of reluctance. The prison-van left the court-yard at about ten minutes to one to convey the prisoner from Horse rnonger-lane gaol, and after the lapse of a very brief period, the approach of it in return was heard in the distance. At this time the most breathless anxiety prevailed in the court, and the loud noises of the struggling crowd were heard from without. All eyes were directed to the door through which she was to enter, and as she appeared in the distance, cries of " Silence," " Hush," " Here she is," escaped from the lips of many in an under tone. She walked forward firmly, and took her place in the dock without showing the slightest tremour or want of self-possession. Her dress was similar to that de scribed on her being brought up on the former occa sion, with the exception of her having a black veil. William Kirk, the cabman, was the first witness examined—He said he took up a fare in - .D'iew Wes ton•street a fortnight ago on Monday last. The female prisoner was the person who engaged me. She came to me in Joiner-street, and directed me to go to 3, 2,linver-place. When I got to the house I went up stairs to a back room, and brought a box down with the assistance of the prisoner. I came down stairs first, and she took hold of the other end of the box. With the . assistance of a person who was passing by I got it up outside the cab. I brought down a second box and put it also outside, and the female brought the third box, a carpet-bag, and a few other things, and I put them all inside. The female came out, shut to the door, and ordered me to go to the Brighton station. In going along St. Thomas-street she said she wished me to call at a stationer's shop, and I stopped at Mr. Ash's. She went in, and after remaining a short time, she came out, and told me to go on to the station. The boxes were taken down when I got there, and a porter nailed two cards upon them. The witness then detailed the journey to Euaton station, and the circumstances which occurred there, as already given in the newspapers. Cross-examined by Mr. Soloman—l had opportu nities of seeing her face in coming down stairs, and also when she got into the cab and gave me the direc tions ; and I distinctly swear that the prisoner is the female I then saw. She had a veil on during the whole time. I solemnly swear that she is the party. William Day, the porter at the Brighton station who nailed the addresses on the two boxes— " Mrs. Smith, passenger to Paris," was next ex amined. His evidence was precisely similar to that given at the coroner's inquest. In reply to questions of the Magistrate he said—l think I should know the female again if I saw her. I believe that is the lady (pointing to the prisoner). William Dine, clerk in the cloak room at the station, proved having given, on the 13th of August, a ticket to a female, having first placed a corresponding one upon the two boxes. He said, "I think I have some slight recollection of the prisoner's face, but I cannot speak positively." Mr. Richard John Maxey, Superintendant of the Edinburgh city police, said, on Tuesday, 21st Aug., soon after eleven o'clock in the forenoon, in conse quence of some information, I went to 25, Had dington-place, Edinburgh. I was accompanied by one of my own officers and Mr. Dobson, a stock broker. When I got to the house I asked if Mrs. Smith was in ? The reply was "Yes." I went into a room where I saw the prisoner sitting reading a newspaper, and I said, "I presume, Mrs. Smith." She rose up, bowed politely, and said, "Yes." I then said, "If you are Mrs. Smith, you are not the lady I want." I said, "Are you a married lady ?" She said " Yes." " Where does your husband reside?" She said, " Oh, he's dead." I then inquired how long she had been in Edinburgh. She replied. " Two or three days ; I think. I came here on Tuesday or Wednesday." I then asked her if she could refer me to any individual in town who knew her. She said, Mrs. Snaw, over the way, was the only person, who had recommended her to the lodgings. I asked where she last came from, and the object of her visit to Edinburgh. She said she had last come from Newcastle, and had come to Scotland for the benefit of her health. My impression is that she said she had been bathing at Portobello. I then asked her as to the state of her finances, particularly putting the question to her " have you any scrip ?" She said, what is scrip ? I said " have you any rail way shares ?" She said she had not. I asked her if she had offered any for sale, and she said no. At this time I said to her, "My opinion is, you are the wife of Frederick George Manning?' I saw she had in her hand the Times of the 20th. I then called in Mr. Dobson, who had up to this period remained outside the door. He entered, and I said, "Is this the lady that offered you the scrip?" and he said she was. She made no answer. I then said to her I must see your luggage. She said, "By all means, certainly." The luggage was then produced —a carpet-bag, a trunk, and a box; part of it was i n t h e room, an d the rest in a bedroom adjoining. u party nl oc pointedunlocked. las them k e d f ro the eas keys, her they lu were ggage , T phe oneproduced d o u r accused e more b her and handed to the officer, and by m eans o f the y keys he opened the box. In the course of a slight investigation in her presence, the officer found at the head of an hotel bill, " F. G. Manning, 'Taunton." I said, " Now my suspicions are confirmed ; my opinion is you are Mrs. Manning. I an , superintendent of police, and I criution you that you are not bound to answer any questions which I may put to you ; you may an swer what questions you think proper, but your answers may be brought against you if you go to trial." I then said again, " Have you any scrip?" She said " Oh! yes, not of my own." I said " You must bring it to me," and she said " Cer tainly, you'll find them in the large box." The box was unlocked by the officer. I found certain scrip, which, along with the rest of her thing*, was conveyed to the police-court. Some things were left behind in the room, but the door was locked. In the police- office 1 caused her to be searched by two females. I was not present at the search, and things found upon her were given to me. I then said, " Now, Mrs. Manning, you are charged with being concerned in the murder of Patrick O'Connor."

Alboni, besides taking may be accomplished through such qualities we do not part in some of the foregoing concerted pieces, sang doubt; but it involves too much of the art of wisdom of the rondo and aria which form the finale to the this world, which is foolishness in reality, to be the Cenerentola, a piece of elaborate and highly-finished means of permanently influencing great questions in vocalization which has obtained a world-wide repu- which truth, religion, and honesty are concerned.

Madame Viardot Garcia fortunes—and one that shall never see shipwreck —even gave her scena from the Prophete, " 0 fero mio des- the great principle of eternal truth.— Examiner. tino ;" and, with Miss Hayes, the duet in the first act of the same opera, " Della Mosa."i Of Miss Cather ine Hayes it is right to say that she more than sus tained the impression created by her on the previous day. She has advanced rapidly in the good graces of her audience. The programme announced that she would sing Alice's beautiful air in Roberto it Dia volo, " Quando lasciai la Normandin." Frequenters of the Covent Garden opera will remember that when the Roberto was produced there during the last season its comparative failure was mainly attributable to the substitution of Madame Dorus Gras in the part of Alice, for Miss Mayes ; that young lady having been taken suddenly ill, with relaxed sore throat, to such an extent as to-render it impossible for her to sing. A postponement of the opera for one night would have been enough ; but the direction determined it otherwise ; and Madame Dorus Gras, the original representative of the part in Paris, was called on to resume it, with what result is well known. Miss Catherine Hayes is singularly fitted for that peculiar part—which depends so much on the contrast of the innocence and beauty of Alice, with the licentious and demoniacal influences sur rounding her—not merely by her personal beauty, but also by the character of her voice and singing. It was most unfortunate for this lady that she ' was thus summarily unhorsed from what would have been her cheval de bataille for the season. Some adverse fate again operated ' to prevent her singing this, the characteristic air of Alice, last night. A notice was circulated that she would sing the " Casts Diva" instead. It was, in some respects, fortunate for her reputation that she did so, for she achieved a complete triumph. Her detect is physical only. Her voice has, at times, great power, but it is not capable of being sufficiently pro longed to command the confidence necessary for the bravura. On the other hand, her voice is singularly sweet, thrilling, and capable of delicate shading and refinement. In the slight nuances of expression Miss Hayes excels. Her execution of the " Casta Diva" etas in every respect faultless : it displayed the finished musician in every phase. Miss Hayes was enthusiastically applauded. One of the most perfect things in the whole concert was Mario's "II mio te soro. ' When encored, he substituted the serenade from Don Pasquale; and the audience would fain have had that also repeated. Jetty Treffz, of course, was highly successful with her favourite " Liebchen wo bist du?" and Lablache (who is already, as he is everywhere, the prime favourite of this audience) sang, besides what had been set down for him in the pro • gramme his comical tarantella,"La Danza," and with ragliafico the buffo duet " Se fiato in corpo," amidst roars of laughter. 'We must not omit to mention the Misses Williams, who sang one of their ch • arming duets. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,—When a man writes he may see cause to revise and reconsider the subject on which he writes ; such is the case with respect to the short letter I sent you on the subject of flushing contaminating the river, and the mode for alleviating it, by obtaining a larger quantity of water to dilute the filth. It appears that from Lechlade to London there is a fall of 244 feet at high-water time, 258 feet at low water, this effects a strong run seaward; increase the quantity, and the sewage is more overpowered ; to do this, enlarge the openings at spring heads and make fresh ones. Will any person pretend that throughout the extent of the upper basin, in Hants, BerLs, Wilts, Gloucester, Oxford, Bucks, Bedford, &c., more water cannot be found? for if once brought to the surface, it will find its way to the river, pro• diming benefit as above stated, and improving the navigation, for though ballast engines are in parts of the river above bridge, they do not work with the object of improving the navigation, but to obtain sale able gravel, &c., which may he seen about Wands. worth at low water any day. I am, Sir, &c., A STEAM-BOAT TRAVELLER. PARISH OF ST. 13RIDE.—INTRAMURAL INTER MENTS —Last evening a numerously attended public meeting of parishioners was held in the vestry•room in St. Bride's-passrge, for the purpose of receiving a report from the Burial grounds Committee touching the con dition of the graveyards in connexion with the parish, and on other bu-iness. The Rev. C. Marshall, vicar, occupied the chair. The minister and cl - .urchwardens' accounts having bet n confirmed and r(ceivt (I, and a rare of lod. in the pound fur the relief of the poor having been made, the secretary proceeded to read the report from the Burials Committee, from which it appeared that they lelieved the public health was not endangered by interring bodies in the vaults under the church, the cuffing being obliged to be lined with lead. The church yard adjoining was closed, as was also the one in Far ringdon-street. Mr. Low said he was sorry to find any exception had la en made. Intramural interments should be entirely abolished; and ho believed that opening a vault was much more injurious to the health of those persons residing in the neighbourhood of the church than opening any grave. He would elk, might not the coffins which were now placed just underneath the flooring of the church burst, and if so, the Effluvium would be rising from the cracks in the ground whilst they would be worshipping. The chairman said there was not the slightest smell in the vaults, and he would have no hesi tation in passing a night in them; consequently, the public health could not be endangered by burying in them. Several other gentlemen also observed that they had lately beta in the vaults, and found nothing objec tionable in them, and that the committee bad determined to close them as they have done the burial-grounds, the moment they believe them to be dangerous. After a short discussion the report was adopted, and a vote of thanks having been passed to the Rev. Chairman, the meeting separated. SERIOUS RIOT AT WATERLOO-MRIDGIL— Yester day, between two and three o'clock, a gang of thirteen fellows, evidently with au intention of robbing the toll house, caused great alarm and contusion on the Surrey side of Waterloo-bridge. They endeavoured to force past the pay-place without payment of one of them, but Snowden, the collector, anticipating their object, closed his door and resisted, when he was struck by one of the gang. Snowden caled to his companion (Dunman), who had charge of the carriage-toll, for assistance, but after a few minutes the fellows passed over towards the Strand, seeing that the precautions taken by the col lector had thwarted their designs. Just as the affray was over an efficer of the L division reached the toll house, having been round his beat; but better protection is required for the Surrey side toll-collectors. They were all recognised as a gang of " smashers." WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.—The Not the least interesting feature of this concert was the instrumental portion. Great interest was felt to hear the " Pastoral Symphony" from this band. Con sidering the enormous difficulties attending the per formance of such a work, the result was highly satis factory. An occasional loudness marred some of the effects, but the great ideas and leading features were admirably conveyed. It is only to be regretted that in the metropolis and the great towns it should not be possible to niainiain a permanent orchestra for the performance of these grand instrumental works at prices rendering them accessible to the middle classes. NVe hope to hear them yet, and in first-rate style, in Exeter hall, at concert prices. Ernat's Rondo Papa geno gave great delight ; and Bottesini, by his won derful tours de force on the violoncello, by which he turns it into a gigantic violin, took the audience by storm ; so much so that they would have an encore, although the labour of handling the giant instrument so as to produce such effects is an Herculean task. I'he chorus distinguished itself in two compositions from Weber's Preciosa, and the concert concluded with Weber's Jubilee overture. " THE MESSIAH "—Tim MORNING. This morning was devoted to the performance of Flanders Messiah, an entertainment which drew a crowded Hall, although the rain fell in a " Scotch mist." The vocalists announced were Miss Hayes, Viardot Garcia, Mr. Sims Reeves, the Misses Wil liams, Mr. Benson, Mr. Whitworth, and Carl Formes. Mr. Machin was substituted for Mr. Whitworth ; and Madame Viardot being unable, from indisposi tion, to appear, the air she was to have sung was given by Miss M. Williams. After having said that the band and chorus were equal to the complicated diffi culties of the Elijah, it is almost unnecessry to add that they performed admirably their portions of the Messiah. The performance as a whole was in the highest degree creditable to the whole of the artists, vocal and instrumental. The principal vocalists have BO often appeared in the same oratorio, that it is un necessary to particularise their several excellences. Miss Ilayes renewed the highly favourable impression of her capacity to deal with sacred music, produced by her singing in the Elijah. To-morrow the Stabat Mater of Rossini and the Lauda Sion of Mendelisohu will be given, with a selection. This performance will close the series, and in the evening there will be a grand fancy ball. • • third fortnightly meeting of this society was held at the York Hotel, Upper Wellington•street, Strand, on Wed nesday evening, when 621. Bs. was received for entrance tees and subscriptions. The motives for joing these societies appear to be twofold—the political one of being able to reform the House of Commons under the existing law, and the superior advantage they give as an investment. _ PREVENTION or CHOLERA. Yesterday evening, Mr. George Ross, medical officer of health in the West London Union, delivered an address in Harp-alley School-rooms, Farringdon-street, on the propagation and means of prevention of cholera and other epidemic diseases. As the locality in which th e address was de livered indicates, his audience consisted almost entirely of the humbler classes, those who are mast exposed to the ravages of epidemic disease. It was evident, too, from the extraordinary interest with which they listened to the lecture, and the great numbers of both sexes I re sent, that practical experience of the ravages which the scourge is now m aking in the metropolis had made most of those present intensely desirous to obtain information on the subject. Mr. Ross addressed his audience at great length and in a style well adapted to them. He pointed out the uniform progress of cholera, and espe cially remarked upon the pr( dilection which it had shown for certain parts of the metropolis. H e c l ear l y exposed the sanitary evils of those districts where it has been found most violent in its attacks, ana h e po i nt( d out the precautions a hich the humbler classes especially ought to adopt in order to ward off its approach, and to meet it when it doe 3 CO MP. He especially cautioned the meeting against the use of stimulants, and mentioned that the most fatal cases he had met with were of per sons taken ill while in a state of intoxication, or during the depression of the nervous system which followed it. His remarks throughout were listened to with the greatest attt ntion, and he was frequently applauded. It is due to Mr. Roes to state, that at the outset of his observa tions he gave an explanation of the motives—highly cre ditable to him—which iaduced him to step out of the usual professional routine and deliver a public address on the subject of cholera. We regret to have to record the death, on the 12th of July, of Mr. Campbell, clerk of the check, in the dockyard, and at one time acting sF cretary to Sir R. Oliver. Mr. Campbell was a lieuten an t i n t h e roya l navy, and for some time commanded a merchant ship. He came to Bombay in quest of an appointment, in November, 1841, and was afterwards employed as just mentioned. He has left at home a wile and a large family, e fear very inadequately provid e d f or . BUCKLAND M O NAECHORUNI CHURCIL—Sir T. Trayton Fuller Elliot Drake, Bart., the owner of Buck land Abbey, and patron of the living, has lately pre sented to this church an organ of considerable power and compass, which has been erected in the gallery, and is at once an ornament and a great addition to the ser vice. It is at present played by Miss l3uller, daughter of Sir Andrew Duller, of Yound.—Exeter Fl y i ng mt. We are happy to ,see, by our advertising columns, that Mr. R. Ruuse, the much respected proprietor of the late White Conduit House Tavern, and noted caterer for the public; has ttlen the Belvidere Tavern, Penton ville, where he intends providing dinners on his former extensive and liberal scale, and wish him every sueetst, and that all his old friends may rally round him. ISLINGTON CATTLE MARKET COMFAN Y.—We have been given to understand, from very good autho rity, that many of the advocates of the Smithfield Market nuisance, in the persons of the butchers and salesmen, are already coming forward, and impercep• ably taking up large numbers of the shares in this company. NEW LAWS.—By Acts passed during the last Ses sion of Parliament, the administration of criminal and penal laws were revised and amended in respect to Ire mud, as were done in the previous session fur England and Scotland. These are must important changes and great improvements upon the lot mer laws. GLASGOW.— ROYAL PATRONAGE OF PAISLEY MAN UFACT URERS.—We are glad to announce that Messrs. J. and R. Roxburgh, manufacturers, Paisley, have again had the honour of submitting to the Quo( n, at Balmoral, their new patte rus and fabrics of long wool s hawls, from which her Majesty has been graciously pleased to se:ect several specimens.—Glasgow Daily ,:.~~_-- FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1849. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EG E, ICES.— . ILIU4SDAY. Ar. unusually oromising li s t, favourable weetiP:r, and special trains, combined to make yesterday the most successful " grand da . )" known at lighara for the last five or six years. The company; perhaps, was not so fashionable as could have been Wished, but in number it le: t nothing to desire. The bustle which pre vailed in the town for a considerable time previous to the commencement of the rases, end the croveded state of the course from one o'clock until near six, must have enabled all interested in the meeting to reap a golden harvest. It Kill no doubt stimulate the Committee to renewed exertions, and the inhabitants to increased con tributions to the race-fund; and when we add that Sir Joseph Hawley, Mr. Payne, and Colonel Peel, have ac cepted the stewardship for next year, there can be no reason to doubt that Egham, now it has obtained the advantage of railway communication with the metropolis will become one of the most popular meetings on the " home circuit."

IItELAN D. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MonxING.—A very unfavour able change has taken place in the weather within the last twei ty-four hours. All yesterday evening, and up to this morning, the rain has fallen in torrents, and from the dense fog which prevails there is but little symptom of its clearing up at present. It is not, however, probable that any very extensive injury can be done to the grain crops, as the great bulk of them must have been secured during the last ten days. The Cork Examiner has the following satisfactory report :- 44 The wheat crop is being fast gathered in, the yield being considerably mete than double the same quantity to the acre to what it was last year, and the qqality infinitely superior. Considerable quantities of new corn are already in the Cork market ; and though the price obtained is low, still the grower is much better off than if the yield were scanty and the price higher. Generally speaking, the accounts of the potato are good. We have heard and known of several instances where blight has shown itself in the leaves and stalks but rarely of the disease having reached the tuber. Our markets are daily filled with fine and healthy pota toes, which are sold at a moderate price. The fact is, the tuber wasjformed before any sign of blight was mani fested, which will account for the lightness of its conse quence in the tuber itself. It could not be supposed that the crop would have escaped entirely, and that the viru lent disease of the last four years would have passed easy suddenly, and left no trace; but few imagined that it would have turned out so well as it has. The green crops are looking most promising and healthy, though it was generally supposed that owing to the absence of rain at a most critical time, they all. without exception, would have perished in the ground. Happily, the rain came not only in sufficient time to save them from annihilation, but to rescue the potato crop from disease, which harsh winds and parching weather seemed to have induced." "UNADORNED ELOQUENCE" IN THE PULPIT.—rn a letter addressed to the Evening Mail, Mr. Moore makes a statement of the circumstances under which he has been the means of elucidating the charitable views entertained by Dr. APHale towards thcse who have the misfortune to differ with him in religious faith : It having been announced, writes Mr. Moore : 7 — "From the altar of our parish chapel, for the last few Sabbaths, that the Archbishop of Tuam ' would hold a confirmation on Thursday, the 23d of August, and that he would then and there denounce Mrs. Di oore's schools and Mr. Moore's lecture, that I might obtain a true account of what the Pope's servant' did really say, I sent two reporters to the chapel the one a Protestant, the other a Roman Catholic. I give you the report as furnished by the Roman Catholic, as it may be less exceptionable. I shall make no comment. I shall not return railing for railing, but contrarywiso blessing.' Earnestly, in deed, do I pray the Lord God may bless the Pope's servant,' by turning him from darkness to light; truly my heart's desire and prayer to God for my Roman Catholic brethren, wheal: r of high or low degree, is that they may be saved.' The Roman Catholic reporter thus begins:— ' Mass being over, the Archbishop ascended the ~liar and addressed the congregation in Irish, saying,— " ' lie was much pained at receiving an invitation from that 4 holy man' (pointing to the parish priest) to visit the parish of Cong at that unusual period. The circum ,tances that called for his immediate attention were in deed painful. He, as their Bishop, the lawful represen t•stive of the true church of God, telt it his duty to warn them against the wily and cralty assaults of a base and corrupted church—a church filled with such filthy and soul abominations that he would blush to mention—a church begotten and founded by Luther and Calvin—a church rished and nursed by brutal force and the lustful desires of Harry VIII. arid Elizabeth, a wicked church, a cursed church, established on the spoil of the 01d Catholic church of God—a church that would now rob the poor of Ireland of the last legacy left them by their forefathers—a church that was now tam pering with the youth and age of .this parish, under the awful visitation of Providence, to ensnare them, by hold ing out to them pecuniary relief only to ruin their souls —a church whose aim was to invent traps and snares for them. They will give you schools for your children, damnable schools, ana that Fe duce )oat into their ,t)urcht-s. Oh, what a curse! Could he believe it to be he cats, that any plients should be found base enough to murder thtir children ? Whatever were their ex cuses, they w«re more inixcusablc than Cain, who killed - 115 brother Abel. . . . If any patents would send their children to such schools they were killing tlieir souls, by making theta e. d nn the poison end heresy of that cursed and damn .ble church—a church which was instil:nig into their mind the loathsome and soul-killing doctrines of Luther .aid Calvin. . . . ‘• There is only one truo church, which is the holy Catholic Church; a Church f,,unded on such corrupt principles as I have alluded to cannot be the true Church. . . . " Nu; it is a Church which robbed God of His glory. A. Church that despises His virgin mother, and deprives her ot her honour. How can they honour the Son ,S he n they despise the Mother ? A Church which despised the saints ; a Church which di vested the true Church of God of its glory, and had only retained the loathsome, filthy carcase, with which they would fain feed the poor deluded souls they were destroying by their heretical dcctrine. Oh! could the remains of those departed saints, who once adorned the now mouldering walls of that venerable abbey, arise -and speak, and whose spirits are now in the realms of bliss, they would raise their voice, and tell: what were !he principles of that damnable Church: they would tell the sad history of spoliation which left it deserted and in ruins; a Church founded on the spoil of the Catholic Church, supported and established by law. He wished the people ot the parish would hencetorth curse to hold any communication with such a foul institution. They should hold no intercourse with them, they should not speak to them, they should nut listen to them, they should not salute them for the future on the highway, their very breath was poison. Now, let us pray the holy Ghost may come down upon us, &c." The schooner eleopiia, of Duriate, sailed from that port on Sunday, the 26th inst., at eight o'clock and brought up et the IslJre at eight A m. Tuesday, the 9 Sth, thus accomplishing the distance (420 miles) in the almost unprecedented short period of forty-eight hours. She was alongside Downe's Wharf by eight o'clock the same evening. The Cleopatra belongs to the Dundee, London, and Perth Shipping Company, was built at Dumbarton in 1847, 230 tuna register, and has been oolely employed in the trude between London and Dun dee. She is a handsome iron vessel, possessing first-rate .ailing quahties. her commander (Mr. Robert Mann) is a careful, attentive, and vigilant seaman, and is very desert cdly respected andeateemed. CIIOLERA.—At the Mansion-house, yesterday, Al derman Gibbs said, that the Lord Mayor and he tied, a N e,k ago, decided upon testing the efficacy of Collins's disinfecting powder fur the prevention of cholera, typhus. and other fevers, by di struy ing malaria and offensive smells. The luck-up and the other lower and more confined rooms under the justice-room, together with ‘tie water-closets, had been accordingly sprinkled with she powder, and a week had elapsed since its first ap iication. The Lord Ma) or agreed with him, and all those who were accustomed to the exceedingly offensive swells, occasioned by the filthy crowds of persons daily assembled in the justice room and cells, that the dis gusting e illevia had been completely banished from every part of the building by the extraordinary opera tion of the powder ; and he had been given to under stand that the gaol of Newgate, in which it wa d s is u e s si t bore testimony to its virtues in the immunity Mr.among I ic h its ai d a 101:Watt) visit Giltspur-sti eat Cemprer, a a t ' . part proprietorale representing in Whitecruss-street, and of the application. air. er h i cin ni t u e .fi b a p t t I s o: d ' w d ' fi d e l e r t r i hv y i e n d t draini h . r o o blue j, bt:anitcibseotstei p i te d s u t c h e e d be le n t ( t fi er t s e i Li from strop t d the buildingateurt h in o terms i , i ts ! s ugi i rA n r s ih v ie e ti r i ael.. greateaow o r k bat crowd suggesting to the boards of guardians of and privies, and h., t .

Alderman Gibbit, said he considered himself bound, as a magistrate who had a great deal to do with t et h 4b e teiPu e poor, tlbhe amongst whom the epidemic was so prevalent, to state that he believed, from all he had witne s sed and heard, that the powder had most extraordinary disie fecting qualities, and to hope that it would be used in all close and unwholesome neighbourhoods. INTRAMURAL BURlALS.—Yesterday evening s meeting of the parishtuners of St. Bride, Fleet-street, was held in the vestry room, to confirm the accounts, signed by the auditors, of Mr. Nason, late churchwarden, and to receive a report from the Burial Grounds Com mittee, in reference to interments in the v aults.

A long conversation ensued, general opinion that it was advisableas c hsoueyar u r n h asp d o s a ss a ib n le to abolish interments in metropolitan . in vaults, and it was stattd that a puce of ground had been purchased at a cemetery fur the burial of the poor lof the parish. port was eventually agreed to and person, named Joseph the vestry of separated. p j a ,, r o T a u t h .r e e d c . r : E ._ A Fielder, well known in the neighbourhood of Titchfield as a vender of water-creases, is lil:eiy to come into pos session of 18,0004, the proceeds of an estate in Somerset shire, which hits been in Chancery fur many years.--.
