On Wednesday morning, between three and four o'clock, the ship William, Captain Houston, while on her passage from Gloucester to this port, was totally wrecked at Kilchattan Bay, Isle of Bute, while in the act of wearing, during a heavy storm. When the vessel struck, her owner, Mr. T. Hamlin, a gentleman of extensive nautical experience, told the alarmed crew to keep calm and collected, in which case there was a fair prospect of their lives being saved, whereas, should their terrors lead to confusion, their danger would be greatly increased. The advice was at tended to by the major part of the crew, but two of them, in spite of every remonstrance, lowered them selves overboard on what seemed from the ship to be dry rocks,. but by this step they only met the fate they sought to slur), the boisterous surge into which they dropped having washed them back, and carried them under the ship's bottom, where no assistance could he rendered them by those on the wreck. The rest of the crew, after remaining on board with great difficulty till the morning broke, the sea during the night washing over them, and the ship rapidly going to pieces, were enabled to land on the receding of the tide. By the time they had left her she was a com plete wreck, little remaining but the deck. The mas ter was a good deal bruised, and the mate had his hand seriously injured. Mr. Hamlin and the crew were much exhausted by the severity of the. weather, but were, with one exception, uninjured ! , One old man was saved with much difficulty. as from the cold he had become quite benumbed. Mr. Hamlin speaks in the highest terms of the kind atl ention he, his offi cers, and crew experienced from'Mr. M`Dougall, far mer, in the vicinity of where the wreck took place, and of the .ready aid he afforded them, which was the means especially of saving the.life of the old man above alluded to. He, also sent his carts to save any property of value which might come ashore. The severity of the gale, which proved fatal to the William, may be judged of by the fact that she was blown from Pladda to cumbrw, a distance of 21 miles, under bare poles, in somewhat less than two hours.--Green ock Advertiser. ANOTHER FATAL SHIPWRECK.—About two o'clock on Thursday morning, the smack Diligenee, of Ports mouth, of about :JO tons burden, bound to Southamp ton from Guernsey, laden with potatoes, came on shore on Chisel Beach, near Portland, in a squall of wind from the S.S.W. It being at the time near high water, hopes are entertained that she will be got off as the spring tides make. The greatest mystery, and one not likely to be solved, is how this vessel, bound to Southampton from Guernsey, with the wind S.S.W., should be near Portland. We should have thought, if she had been left to make her own course, after leaving the Caskets, she would have been nearer the Isle of Wight,. with the wind from the same quarter. One poor fellow, about twenty years of age (we could not learn his name), met with a watery grave just at the Moment the vessel struck.—Sherborne and Yeovil Mercury. PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 19.—The steam-ship Mer chant, from New Orleans to Texas, went ashore a few days since in a gale ; eight persons were -lost, as well as the vessel and cargo. While in the agonies of des pair, a passenger named Barker, prompted by deli rium, shot a fellow-passenger, and then shot himself. The brig Cuba, from Texas for New York, went down with all hands. Two schooners shared a similar fate. The barque Virginia was abandoned off the Florida coast ; the brig Francis Lord, of New York, was lost off North Carolina ; and the barque Plato ashore, with five men lost, and several other valuable vessels are missing.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. your Evening Edition of the 12th, I observe a very material error as regards myself, by your early correction of which I shall feel obliged. it is there reported, in the account of the proceedings at Guildhall, before Sir Peter Laurie, that I stated that, having been sued for an infringement of the patent, I had applied to Air. Leaf, &c. This was not the case, nor did Iso express myself. The fact is, observing from your elaborate report in The Evening Sun of the sth instant, that Sir Peter Laurie had, in ex parte statements, expressed himself towards Mr. Leaf in a way most unfair and unfounded in fact, I unsolicited, attended at the second hearing, - to state the circum stances attending my application to that gentleman on behalf of a neighbour, Mr. Lobb, who had been served with a process in Chancery for an infringement, and also to bear witness to the candid and honourable manner in which the application was met by Mr. Leaf; that he at once declared that it had never been his intention that proceedings should be taken against the retail dealers, but only against manufacturers and importers ; that the proceedings in Mr. Lobb's case should be immediately stopped, and, as far as his in fluence extended, the expense should be limited to merely the costs out of pocket ; adding the proceedings against such parties were disgraceful, and that the solicitor had exceeded his instructions. I beg to refer you to the Morning Papers of the 12th for a confirma , tion of these facto, and I trust you will do me the favour of inserting this explanation. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES WARWICK. 137, Cheapside, Nov. 15, 1842. - --- • TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 14. 1843.

TILE PREVALENT. DISTRESS: AS a further and i melancholy proof of the wide extent of distress and privation now endured by thousands of the working. classes, we may state that during five nights of the past week upwards of sixty . persons, exclusive of children, have been received into the Vagrant-office in this city. They were all in a deplorably destitute condition, and the great majority of them were appa rently decent working men, whom the exigency of the times had driven forth upon the`world in search of employment. These are facts which speak most emphatically in behalf of the necessity of Government making some immediate effort to. search into the causes of so much suffering,—York Herald.. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO WALMER CASTLE. `PALMIER, MoNDAr.—Last night, about eight o'clock, the wind shifted into the west-north-west, and in the course of the night the sea became calm. Her Majesty has to-day enjoyed the magnificent sight of upwards of a hundred sail in the Downs lying at anchor. • Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert walked on the beach for a considerable time in the morning, and the Royal children were taken out by their nurses and attendants. At twelve o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Albert went on board the Thunderer, being steered by Capt. Westbrook, in his galley. His Royal Highness was attended by Colonel Wylde and Dr. Pretorious, and remained on board nearly an hour, inspecting the beautiful arrangements of the vessel, with which his Royal highness expressed himself highly delighted. His Royal Highness's visit was un expected, and Captain Pring and Captain Bullock, who were ashore, immediately put off to meet the Prince. His Royal Highness, on landing, was saluted by Sir William Curtis's yacht, which was anchored off the Castle. The Government steamer, Fearless, Captain Bullock, which is also stationed in a line with the Thunderer, dressed her colours. To-morrow, if the weather continues fine, it is ex pected his Royal Highness Prince Albert will accom pany Captain Bullock ter the Goodwin Sands, for the purpose of inspecting the safety beacon, erected by the Gallant Captain, about two years ago. This afternoon, at half-past one o'clock, her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Hon. Mrs. Anson, left the Castle in a carriage and four, and proceeded to Dover Castle. Lord C. Wellesley and Colonel Wylde, the Equerries, were in attendance on horseback. The Queen and the Prince were received at the Castle by Colonel Jenkinson, Governor, and a guard of honour, composed of the 19th Foot. The Royal party, after remaining at the Castle upwards of three-quarters of an hour, inspect ing every object of interest, proceeded to Dover, driving through the principal streets to the beach, and returning to Weimer at a quarter past four o'clock. Both sides of the road from the Castle to he town were lined with people, and the streets • through which the Royal corteze passed were densely crowded. On going and returning her Majesty was greeted with a right loyal and hearty welcome. In addition to the Royal suite, Lord and Lady Ma hon, and Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, will have the honour of joining the Royal dinner circle. The following letter has been received by Mr. Ledger, in answer to'an official communication made by him on the part of the Dover authorities, respect ing the receiving of an address from that port, and also as to whether her Majesty intended to honour Dover with a visit, during her Majesty's stay at Walmer Castle : " Palmer Castle, Nov. 11. " Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th instant, and in reply beg to inform you, that any addresses that you may wish to have presented to her Majesty during her stay at Weimer Castle, you will have the goodness to forward to me, as her Majesty's visit here being entirely of a private nature, it is not her Majesty's wish to receive any addresses personally or publicly. " I am not aware whether her Majesty will visit the town of Dover or not.--I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient humble servant, (Signed) " SYDNEY, Lord in Waiting. " To G. W. Ledger, Esq., Dover." Respecting the fate of the galley which was ob served from the coast suddenly to disappear, just as she had reached the Lisbon steamer, at th 2 time of the heavy gale yesterday afternoon, and about which her Majesty was most anxious in her inquiries, about seven o'clock the welcome news arrived that every man had been picked up, through the activity and praise-worthy conduct of those on board the steamer. The news was instantly conveyed to Wralmer Caste. DOVER. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) NOVEMBER 14.—Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Albert arrived at Dover Castle at three o'clock this afternoon, and partook of a dejeuner in the apartments of the Lieutenant-Governor, R. H. Jen kinson, Esq. Afterwards they inspected the Castle, and drove through the town, returning by the Water loo-crescent and the Marine Parade, escorted by our Member (Mr. Rice) and some of the military autho rities. The Queen looked in excellent health and spirits, and must have been much gratified by the very cordial and loyal reception she experienced from her subjects at Dover. A Royal salute was fired from the Western Heights as the Royal party quitted the town. It is understood the Prince intends hunting with the East Kent fox hounds at Lydden to-morrow, should the weather be favourable. At the Harbour Sessions on Friday much important business was transacted. The terminus of the South Eastern Railway was definitively settled and agreed for. It will occupy the site between Archcliff Fort and Townsend Battery, approaching nearly to the wet and dry docks, and certainly no better situation could have been found for it. The Commissioners also de *ded on some great improvements connected with the proposed Harbour of Refuge in the bay. They have ordered the whole of the north side of Union street to be taken down, and gates and a bridge to be constructed between the York Hotel and the pre mises of Messrs. Latham and Co., to enable vessels to pass direct from the outer harbour to the Pent, which will, in case of war, form a very fine and commodious station for steam boats. The outer harbour is to be greatly im proved and increased by the removal of the square now occupied by the Ordnance Storekeeper, Dover Castle Inn, and various warehouses; and Amherst Battery and the range of buildings new occupying the line of groun d b e t ween th e N or th Pier and the York Hotel are also to be removed. It is generally ex pected that such very extensive and costly arrange ments would never have been decided on, had not the G evernment determined to proceed with the great na tional work in the Bay, which is rendered so much the more necessary from the vast improvements now making in several of the opposite ports of France. We have a lamentable account from Boulogne to day of the total loss of the ship Reliance, of London, Capt. Green, 1,500 tons burthen. She sailed from Canton the 7th May, and was totally lost On the 11th instant, between Etaples and Berck, a short distance to the west of Boulogne. Out of 75 English and 41 Lascars we regret to state that seven only were saved on a piece of the wreck. METROPOLITAN ANTI-CORN LAW ASSOCIATION.

The CHAIRMAN said that the object of the present meeting was to receive the Report of a Sub-Commit tee of the Society, who had been directed by a reso lution of a meeting, which had been held on the 31st October, to devise and determine upon a plan for the future operation of the Anti-Corn-law party in the metropolis. That Committee had now framed their Report, and he trusted that it would meet the appro bation of the meeting. Mr. S. SMITH, the Secretary, read as follows : " Report of the Committee appointed by the Metro politan Anti-Corn-law Association, at their meeting of October 31, 1842, by the following resolution : Resolved, that in order to devise a well-digested plan of future operations, a Committee, consisting of Messrs. James Wilson, P. A. Taylor, Col. I'. P. Thompson, and P. Place, with power to add to their number, be appointed to consider the best means of promoting the objects of this Association, and to report to a meeting specially to be called for the purpose of conferring upon the same, on Mon day, 14th November next, at one o'clock precisely.' " The subject on which your Committee has been called upon to make a report to the general body of their fellow members, has engaged their anxious indi vidual consideration during a considerable period. " The opinion which early they had been led to form of the most pru dent and effective system of ma- nagement of the great question which it is the object of the Association to carry to a happy issue, the expe rience they have acquired during its progress has ripened into conviction. In Parliament it is apparent that monopoly has abandoned argument, and stands simply upon its majority ; but amongst the people it owes the tole ra ti on o f i ts ex i stence ma i n l y to genera l ignorance of the subject. In the Legislature the truth is known, but not respected; in the community it is only not respected, b ecause i t i s not k nown. Th e sense of justice which the s h or t- s i g ht e d se lfi s h ness o f private interest has enfeebled in the Senate, is yet strong in the conscience of the nation. The task we have to accomplish is not that of inducing the people to join in the d eman d t o d o us jus tice, but simply to prove to them that justice is on our side. If the proximate 'cause of the con tinuance of the Corn-laws he the disregard of truth or honesty on the part of the representatives of the coun try, the ultimate cause is unquestionably to be found in the fact that the advocates of free trade have not y et produced a sufficiently general conviction of the efficacy and necessity of abolishing the restrictive system. And the Committee are now more than ever satisfied that as while we fail to carry conviction of the sound principles of our cause to the minds of the people, we shall not succeed in compelling the Legis lature to abandon their present vicious policy ; so whenever we have succeeded in forming enlightened public opinion in favour of our views, we cannot pos sibly fail in compelling the concurrence of the Legis lature to the demands of a fair majority of the nation. "As our weakness lies in the general ignorance which prevails upon the subject of free trade, all that is necessary to increase our strength is to increase the knowledge of the people. As this has been our past aim, so ought it to be our future zealous endeavour. By this simple agency we have compelled a reluctant confession from our opponents of the soundness of our principles; and a vigorous perseverance in the same policy will ultimately induce a reduction of these to practice. We have no new method of agitation to recommend. We have rather to report that the old method has only been partially and imperfectly tried, and to advise that it should be strenuously carried out in all its details. We have the most unhesitating con fidence in the power of a free press and free speecli to correct every abuse in the State; and in place of studying the invention of some new plan of agitation we have addressed ourselves exclusively to the consideration of those details by which a more complete development may be given to the principles of action, an undeviating adherence to which has, we confidently believe, been the cause of our safety, progress, power, and success. As the use of free speech, of open discussion, and of appeals to the un derstandings of men, through the press, have been the time-honoured resources of the people against oppression, and their remedy for social wrongs, so do we desire to stand upon the ancient ways of the Con stitution, and to rely upon the peaceful means for redress of grievances prescribed by the customs of the nation. And we have to congratulate our consti tuents on the satisfactory reflection, that in a time of political excitement, social confusion, and popular turbulence, during which disobedience to the laws ended only in the punishment of the insurgents and the discomfiture of their cause, our firm reliance on the peaceable and well ordered means which we have uniformly adopted has consolidated our power, and greatly advanced the cause we are pledged to carry to a triumphant conclusion. " The Committee have received many valuable hints from the Secretaries and other members of local asso ciations, to which they have given their best con sideration, and which, to a considerable extent, have been embodied in the following propositions. They now beg respectfully to report : " 1. That it is the general opinion of the Associa tions that ordinary aggregate meetings for routine business may be advantageously held at the same period of the day as at present, but that special meet ings, where it is importantto command a large attend ance, should commence not earlier than six o'clock in the evening. Thy recommend, therefore, that it be now resolved to continue the fortnightly aggregate meetings for ordinary routine business, at half-past two for three o'clock precisely ; and for special busi ness, at six o'clock for half-past six precisely ; and that the days of meeting be altered from Monday to Friday. " 2.. That each Association should at once fix upon some well-known place of meeting in its own district, for the purpose of holding weekly meetings, and some specific day and hour, for the next six months, to enrol members, to receive subscriptions, and to carry out a regular system for the distribution of tracts ; and, where practicable, to devote each alternate meeting to public lectures, addresses, and discussions; keeping steadily in view the importance of each society extend ing their operations into the districts which adjoin their own. _ _ _ _ _ ._••...

That aggregate public meetings of all the As sciations shall be held, under the superintendence of each of the sections above enumerated respectively, on Wednesday of each week successively, at half-past six o'clock for seven precisely, in such place, within the district embraced under each section, as shall be mutually agreed upon by the branches included in the same; and that the said meetings shall be held in the following order : " Sections No. 1., on the 30th November, 1842 ; No. 11., 7th December, 1842; No. 111., 14th De cember, 1842 ; No. IV., 21st December , 1842 ; No. V., 4th January, 1843 ; No. VI., 11th January, 1843 ; No. VII., 18th January, 1843 ; No. VIII., 25th January, 1843; No. IX., Ist February , 1843 ; No. X., Bth February, 1843; No. XI., 15th Fe bruary, 1843; No. XII., 22d February, 1843; No. XIII., Ist March, 1843 ; No. XIV., Bth March, 1843. "To make these meetings effective, it is recom mended that the secretaries of the branches embraced in each section respectively should meet together forthwith to arrange all the preliminaries of the meet ing in their several districts; that they should invite to their public meetings deputations from all the other sections, the presence of leading politicians, the at tendance of influential persons in their respective neighbourhoods ; reporters from the Press, and the general .public, especially including ladie s , by cards of invitation, specifying place and hour, subscribed by each secretary of th e section—said cards of invitation to specify on the back the name of each association within the district, their ordinary place, day, and hour of meeting for dispatch of business, and the names of their chairman ,• and each secretary of the section to be supplied with as many of the said cards as he may require —the holders of members' cards of the Anti-Corn-law League being admissible to all meetings. " 5. That the secretaries of each section shall duly advertise their respective public meetings in the daily papers, and notify them by circular to all the other branches of the association ; and they shall also be announced at the conclusion of every meeting pre ceding that on which each section is to hold its meet ing, together with the names of such persons of in fluence as have agreed to attend. Due arrangements ought to be carefully ii repared for the sale of tracts and the enrolment of members at each meeting, and in order not to trench on the general funds of the associations, the expenses should be defrayed by each branch within the general sections respectively, in the proportion of the number of members of which each consists, or by a general or equal subscription, as may be agreed upon. In every case there should be a timely selection of chairman, speakers, and reso lutions, of which last several copies should Fe pre pared for the accommodation of reporters. "G. That the Committee would recommend to each branch or section the formation of occasional public tea meetings, in addition to the foregoing, carefully avoiding the nights appropriated to sec _ tinnal meetings; and they also propose that imme diately on the termination of the public meetings four great aggregate tea meetingsshouLd ta bevoheeladch, at the . " 7. Your Committe e have arranged with a p r i n t er to furnish tracts , of four pages rate of ls. Gd. per hundred ; and they recommend tha t a new tract, bearing upon topics emerging in th e course of publication, applicable to the Corn-laws,oublde issued every week, whereof each associatio n .h agree to take and distribute at least 200 copies ' in its own locality, in the manner of tract societies and shall have them on sale at their weekly u and sectional meetings. That, prior to entering under taking, each association should upon this intimate to the Secretary of the Central Association,meetn a the number of tracts it agrees to purchase, direct the mode of de livery, and endeavour to make arrangements with the news-venders and books e ll ers in their neighbourhoods for the sale of the publiegio ns , ao they successively appear, advertising the addresses of those who agree to keep them on sale, in all the bills, cards,/and tracts of the branch. That these publications shall be made under the superintendence of the Business Com mittee of the Central Association, who shall give their best attention to any manuscripts, tracts, or sugges tions transmitted to them by the branches. " In conclusion, the Committee would beg to guard, themselves from being understood, in their introduc tory observation, to mean to convey the impression that small progress has as yet been made in producing an effect upon public opinion. While the nearly uni versal report made to them by their branches, and the friends of free trade generally, is, that they still find much ignorance in society on the subject of mono poly, and that ignorance is the great obstacle in the way of repeal, they are quite as unanimous in assur ing the Committee that the public have made great and rapid progress in the comprehension of the ques tion ; that at no former period was the zeal and ac tivity of their branches so great as at present ; that they have never found such a disposition in the neutral or hostile public to listen to their arguments, or to acquire information as now; and that a very great and favourable change of opinion has recently taken place among the agricultural portion of the commu nity, especially in th e case o f t enan t f armers . Th e Committee entertain a strong opinion that no oppor tunity should be l os t o f ac ti ng upon t h e rura l popula tion, through e ver y c h anne l o f commu ni cat i on, an d especiallyts of Kent, establishment of u o r f r as ey s , oc a i n a d - t the bytracts villages ae lon s Essex. In the present temper of th e p re di a l di s t r i c t s , they anticipate large accessions to their cause, from the so-called protected interests themselves; and they have only, in conclusion, to urge upon their consti tuents and friends generally, the importance of im proving the goldbn opportunity afforded by th e pre sent favourable disposition of the rural population to recommend, by appealing to their reason and their consciences, the great cause which it Is the object of the Association to promote." After some conversation the Report was agreed to. In obedience to the call of the Chairman, Sir Da LACY EVANS congratulated them upon the evident and most satisfactory progress which they were making in the advancement of the cause which they had espoused. The meeting itself afforded to kis mind an admirable and convincing proof of the vigorous manner in which they conducted their exer tions, and they could not but anticipate that the hap piest results must ensue.—(hear, hear.) Twelve months ago Mr. Villiers—(Cheers), —the most able and consistent champion of their cause, had congratu lated the country upon the excellent progress which the Anti-Corn-law party was making; and the very first division in the present Parliament had shown that, so far from a Tory Government coming into power having stopped this progress of opinion in fa vour of free trade, a decided increase of supporters in the House of Commons had been obtained.—(Hear, hear.) The declarations of the Premier himself upon this subject had been most profitable to their cause, but most unsatisfactory to his own supporters.— (Hear, hear.) This was an event which demanded their best and most sincere self-congratulation, and he hoped to see their exertions in consequence re doubled.—(hear, hear.) After some observations from Mr. Edwards and Dr. Price, • Mr. WILSON said that he would offer a few obser vations to the Meeting with reference to the principle upon which the Report which had been presented to them had been framed. The main argument which had operated upon the Sub-Committee was the im portance of disseminating knowledge through those classes in which ignorance still prevailed upon this all engrossing topic ; and, therefore, it was that they had adopted public instruction as the best means of work ing the important end which they had in view. They had heard that, though other trades were dull, every printing-machine in Manchester was to be set to work by the Anti-Corn-law League. He feared that their means would not enable them to give like employ ment to the whole of the London printing-presses ; but he hoped that, ere long, many presses would be set to work, and tracts produced which would secure a more lasting effect upon the minds of their oppo nents, or of their lukewarm friends, than the speeches or lectures of their friends, however admirable in themselves they might be.—(Cheers.) Mr. MOOR (of Manchester) was then called on by the Chairman. He said that he was convinced by his experience and observation that no time like the present had ever presented itself for affording instruc tion to the public mind, and thereby gaining fresh supporters of their views. lie referred with confi dence to the speeches which had been made by the opponents of the existing Corn-law, and he was pre pared to contend, notwithstanding the threat which had been held out, and which had been already re ferred to by the Chairman, that much more had been said to excite the :people by the monopolists in the House of Commons than by those who had striven to obtain the just repeal of the tax upon bread. It had been said in the House of Commons by the supporters of the monopolist party, that machinery was the cause of all the evil ; that the masters were the tyrants and the. oppressors of their servants ; that the people were starving and were patient ; and yet had the Prime Minister of her Majesty declared that his measures were not measures of relief.—(Hear, hear.) But they had heard speeches also from the same Right Honourable Baronet in favour of free trade, and where such speeches were delivered by such a man, could the speeches of members of the Anti-Corn-law League, men warmly engaged in the cause of the people, upon their own conviction of the injustice to which they were subject, be raked up because they contained ex pressions of their more earnest feelings ?—(Hear, hear.) Could men, he asked, speak calmly whose rights were trampled upon, and who were treated with injustice ?—(Hear hear.) The Report, which had been read, showed that this Society was not alarmed at the pliagraph to which he had referred ; for his own part, he should take it as his guide in future, and he should speak even more warmly upon this question than he had yet done. Cheap food was not the con sequence of the tariff of Sir Robert Peel ; but it was the consequence of the continued refusal of free trade to the people. The scarcity of purchasers was the cause of the cheapness of provisions—the want of de mand was the cause, and until free trade was intro duced, until England had the world as the garden from which it could select the produce which it re quired, and to which it could send its productions, the same difficulties must prevail.—(Hear, hear.) The farmers now begin to see this ; and now, where tracts were before viewed with suspicion, or not received at all, they were looked for and accepted with anxiety and pleasure.—(Cheering.) Colonel TuoMrsoN was prepared to give his testi mony also towards the proofs of the daily increasing disposition and anxiety of the public mind in favour of the cause of free trade. The Corn. law, he thought a they dver m sa u r s ie t s b_e_ o al nl a gre e d, which th ey lth ‘ as e N y ' tre tie m i b lesk an po d i in u t of their aked, but it was the point on which they were going a-head — (Cheers)—and he was sure that the time was not far distant when they should arrive in the happy haven of their wishes.—(Cheers.) Mr. S. SMITH gave notice that lectures on the Corn law would be delivered to-morrow (this day) at the Royal Oak, Bayswater ; on Wednesday, at Poplar ; on Thursday, at St. John's Wood ; and on Friday, at Tottenham ; and thanks having been voted to the Chairman the meeting separated.

THOUSAND POUNDS RODDERT.—We understand that a portion of the proceeds of this rob bery have lately made their way to the Bank of Dili land, in the shape of a 5001. pound note. It was paid into the Bank of England by the Messrs. Masterman and Co., bankers, London, to whom it was paid by the Messrs. Rothschild, the celebrated millionaires, who received it from their house in Paris. It has been conjectured that the note was paid in Paris within forty-eight hours of its being stolen in Preston.— Manchester Chronicle. CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENTS AT WINDSOR.-- About fifty handsome villa residences, encircled and interspersed with ornamental grounds, and to be called Victoria Park, through which it is proposed to carry a road across the new bridge over the Thames to the railway station at Slough, will be shortly erected.
