THE CLEVELAND ESTATE. [Mr. Acland, the Anti-Corn-law Lecturer, makes the following observations on the Cleveland estate, in a letter to the " League" at Manchester. Mr. A. has been delivering lectures against the Corn-laws to the tenantry of the Duke of Cleveland ; and his corres pondence with his Grace will not have be en f orgo tt en. ] Among the Cleveland agriculturists the system of bondage very generally obtains—as in the adjoining county of Northumberland. The single men and wo men are " done for" in the farm-house, whilst the married men have a house assigned to them, with an allowance of potatoes, and a weekly stipend of some 10s., conditionally that he holds his wife or some other woman at command of the farmer, for field work, the year round at Bd, per day ; and it often happens that, when the wife is ill, or, having a family, cannot leave home, the man has to hire another woman for the farm -work at a price exceeding the contract wages he receives. In the desolate region of mines and moors, there are no farm labourers. The tenant; of the herbage are only hay farmers, and beast breeders. They make hay in the summer, and their beasts eat it in the winter. The frame work of the animals is thus grown by the mere breeder, and then they are sold and driven south, that they may be rendered fleshy and marketable. These poor tenants and their sons work by turns in the mines, and on their small and miserable holdings. Almost the entire of the Cleveland estate requires to be well drained. This was neglected by the late Duke, because his hereditary successor had no por tion of parental good-will entailed with the estate; and because the present Duke is not yet rich enough to put his tenants on a par, in this respect, with those of his spirited neighbour of Streatham Castle. To drain the Baby territory, would require an outlay of from 150,0001. to 200,000/. ; and in the anticipated event of the repeal of the Corn-laws, it must be drained by the Duke, or suffered to go out of arable cultivation for grain production. Here, then, we have the secret of the Duke's hostility to free trade, and his abuse of the League. Another observable point is tenure of the land, which is year by year. Hence, and under the Chan.- dos clause of the Reform Bill, the Duke of Cleveland is a political landowner. At the last election the Cleveland tenantry voted, to a man, in the Liberal int eres t, w hil s t at t h e next election they will assuredly vote with no less unani mity for the party of which their lord, for the time being, is so brilliant and courteous an ornament. It will thus be seen that the tenantry can only hope to retain possession of their farms by yielding up every particle of independence, at the bidding of their political chief. Holding their farms as tenants at will, they dare not invest - their capital (if they have any left) in so bad a security as the yearly tenure of the undrained soil of an anti-agricultural landowner. But even the tenants of the Duke of Cleveland think ; and the League has enabled me to opan to their inquiring minds a vein of rich ore, which you may be sure they will work to its exhaustion and their own enrichment.

The many thousands of tracts of all sorts which you have forwarded me have been industriously circulated among all classes of people, from Darling ton, in the east of Durham, to the very borders of Cumberland, on its western extremity. Rents, on the Raby estate, are nominally and comparatively low, because the political serfdom of the tenant is a portion of the consideration given by him for the privilege of holding a farm, year by year; under a political landlord. And to which cir cumstance the fact that much bad land (worth less than ss. the acre) is held with land of a superior quality, that the farm is rented by the aggregate acreage, and that but a very small portion of the very best description is in as good condition as it might readily be brought to by the process of draining. Low as may be the nominal or money rent paid by the Cleveland tenantry, it is far too high for the quality of the land and the nature of the tenure upon which it is held. I have been credibly informed by a gentleman of middle age that there are not six of the tenants who have occupied their farms beyond his recollection ; and that none of them have been enabled to realise an independence, and retire from the cares and anxieties of life on the accumulations of their industry. On the other hand, many are the instances of farmers who have been sold up and have died paupers, whilst there is scarcely one case to be adduced of a farmer on the Raby estate who has been able to settle his children without having recourse to professions, trades, and callings in connexion with the commercial interest, and dependent upon the prosperity of that interest for the hope of advancement in the world. The following may appear to some an extraordinary specimen of the practical working of Corn-law pro tection, whereas it were by no means difficult to cite many similar instances (mutatis mutandis) of agicul tural pauperism in connexion with low rents, un drained land, yearly tenantcy, Corn-law protection, and ducal prosperity : Charles Laybourn occupied a farm of some 200 acres in LangleY Dale, as did his brother John a farm of abalt 150 acres. John was unmarried ; Charles had a family of four sons and two daughters. Of these four sons, two were brought up as farmers, and succeeded their father and uncle in their farms on the promise to pay, the one 8001., and the other 4001., for stock, &c. Under Corn-law protection, and not withstanding what are called low rents, the young farmers were sold up, some four years since, by their landlord, who took all there was, and the old people became paupers and died paupers. One of the agri cultural sons became a publican at Staindrop, the other is a labourer in the docks at Sunderland. A RAILWAY ACCIDENT. A most alarming accident occurred on Monday evening on the Brandling Junction Railway. The particulars of this occurrence are briefly these. The seven o'clock train from Sunderland to Newcastle started as usual, and proceeded to near where the railway crosses the Cleadon-lane, where the engineer felt some slight interruption, and immediately turned off the steam. The train was then moviug at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour. The sensation was but momentary, but the direction of the engine was suddenly changed, it having left the line, and was approaching diagonally the edge of a fearful precipice, formed by the embankment of the railway, about eight or nine feet in height. The engineer and his assistant maintained their positions on the engine with the greatest composure, which, in the end, proved most fortunate, for had th e y l eape d o ff they would, in all probability, have lost their lives. On the finally: the br o u bot tomgh t engine w en t, f o ll owe d b y its tender, over the embankment, i u otheadjoining through i a le g l d, quickset c a k n s d wa e t hedge,s to a stand-still several yards from the railway. The engine maintained its erect position the whole time, and sustained no injury, with the exception of the pipe which carries the water from the tender to the boiler, and which was broken asunder. The engine man instantly opened the safety valve, to allow the escapement of steam, and then descended from his perilous position. There were five carriages, two of them being first class and three second class, attached to the engine. Fortunately, the connecting-rod be tween the tender and the first carriage broke, and thus separated the engine from the train. The first carriage remained upon the line ; the next, being dis severed from its companions, was thrown over the embankment; the next, a first class carriage, was crushed against the following one, and all the others were partially overturned, some of them having been thrown over the embankment, against which they rested obliquely at the bottom. On proceeding a few yards down the line, the cause of the accident was soon discerned. There lay the mutilated remains of a krse, which had evidently strayed upon the line from one of the adjoining fields. It was cut completely in pieces. third son is a draper at Hartlepool, and the fourth is also connected with trade. FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION. THREE LIVES LOST. Between three and four o'clock on Wednesday after noon last, the inhabitants of West Collingwood were thrown into great consternation by a loud explosion, the shock of which was sensibly felt by many. It was quickly ascertained that the explosion had occurred at the residence of a man named Pinner, a manufac turer of firew o rk s , an d t h e fi rst object that presented itself to the persons who ran to the spot, was the life• less body of Pinner, lying upon the open space in front of his house, amidst a quantity of bricks, shat tered pieces of wood, &c., whilst the entire of the upper story of th e h ouse was completely carried away. The body of an old man, an assistant of Pinner, was likewise found shockingly disfigured lying in the gar den at the back of the premises. No signs of life were perceivable in Pinner or the old man, and the remains of both presented a horrid spectacle. On proceeding up the stairs of the house, the lower part extending to the floor of the second story of which was left standing uninjured, it was discovered that every vestige of the roof, walls, and the va rious articles which had been in the upper room, had entirely disappeared. Jammed against the lower part o the wall of the first story, and near the top of the stairs was the body of a lad, aged 14, with the features so dreadfully disfigured and the body blackened and mutilated, that but for the circumstance of its being known that the remains were those of a boy employed by Pinner, considerable difficulty, must have ensued respecting the identification of the body. ' The house, which is a detached one, consisted of two stories, the upper one having been appropriated to the purpose of manufacturing fireworks. From the statement of an elderly woman who was engaged by Pinner to superintend his domestic affairs, it appears that a large quantity of gunpowder had lately been placed in the upper room for the purpose of making fireworks for the .sth of November, but in what manner 'the explosion was .caused remains a mystery. The woman alluded t? . .:ho in the root: on "the ground floor when tfie eiplosion to o k place, ticf a narrow escape. She had been up to the workroom only a short time previously, for the purpose of taking a half pint of beer to Pinner, who, with the old man and the boy, were . then employed in filling squibs. She had barely returned down stairs when the shock ing catastrophe occurred. There were no lights in the room when she was there, as it had net become dark. Several windows in the neighbouring houses were smashed in, and a number of chimney-pots thrown down by the explosion. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS. The following aro the results of " A Table of Mortality in the Metropolis, showing the Number of Deaths from all Causes Registered in the week ending Oct. 22, 1842." The Table is issued from the Office of the Registrar-General:— Weekly Average /838-940-1 Captain Taylor, M.P., has become the purchaser of the estates of the Earl of Courtown, in the baronies of Castleknock and Balrothery, in the county of Dublin—thus giving him an additional claim on the representation of the metropolitan county.—Dublin Mail. Of the daughters, one is married to a cabinet maker, and the other keeps a charity school at Stain drop, and honourably supports her widowed mother under the walls of Raby Park, and within gun-shot of the Castle of Corn-law protection. Another instance may be shortly stated. A yeoman named Hawden rented a farm on the Raby estate of about 300 acres at Wackerfield. He had four sons and three daughters. Three sons were brought up to be farmers ; but two of them have emigrated to Aus tralia, the third remaining at home with his father, and the fourth brother being an attorney. Two of the daughters are married to attorneys, and the other to a medical gentleman.

Secondly, The exercise of singing is de lightful to nature, and good to preserve the health of man. Thirdly, It doth strengthen all parts of the heart, and doth open the pipes. Fourthly, It is a singular good remedie for a stuttering an d stammering in the speech. Fifthly, It is the best means to preserve a perfect pronunciation, and to make a good orator. Sixthly, It is the only way to know when Nature bath bestowed a good voice; which gift is so rare that there is not one amongst a thousand that -bath it ; and in many that excellent gift is lost because they want an art to e x p ress na ture. Seventhly, Thereis not any mu3ic of instru ments whatsoever comparable to that whi c h i s ma d, of men's voices, when the voices are good, and the same well sorted and ordered. Eighthl y , Th e better the voice is, the meeter it is to honour and serve God therewith ; and the voice of man is chiefly to be em ployed to that end Omnis.spiritu.s laudet.Dominum." —Musical Times.

COMMISSIONER BOWEN.—Mr. Commissioner Bowen, of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, breathed his last on Thursday evening at his re sidence, No. 19, Portman-street, Portman-square.' As a Commissioner he will be remembered by all who knew him for his kindness of disposition, and in pri vate life his numerous acts of beneficence not only en deared him to his own circle, but to many public in stitutions to which he was a subscriber. He had been a Commissioner of the Court upwards of twenty years, as also a Bencher of the Inner Temple, as well as a Director of the Chelsea Water-works. Mr. Cooke, the barrister, has holden Courts in Kent for the Learned Commissioner, under the authority obtained from the Home-office ; and as the Court will resume its sittings on Tuesday next, it is probable that until a new appointment is made, a pro. tern. Commissioner will be named to relieve one of the other Commis sioners, in order that the cases in town may be heard. Mr. Commissioner Bowen was 74 years of age. RACING IN FRANCE.—Notwithstanding the death of the Duke of Orleans, it seems to be determined NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH.—WOOLWICH, OCT. 26. --At twelve o ' c l oc k t o -d ay an imposing ceremony took place at the laying the foundation-stone of a new Catholic Church, on ground liberally granted for that purpose by the Board of Ordnance. The new church is dedicated to St. Peter, and imme diately on the arrival of the Right Reverend Dr. Griffiths, service commenced. An appropriate ser mon was then preached by the Right Reverend Dr. Morris, and afterwards the Bishops and Priests all joined in performing the Litany of the Saints! The foundation-stone having been sprinkled with the holy water, and blessed, was struck three times with a silver trowel, by Bishop Griffith s , an d on being placed in its proper position, such as chose to present offerings laid their money on the stone, and others who could not get near, owing to the crowd, gave their donations to the priests to aid the building of the church. The Bishop, preceded by the proces sion, cross, and the following clergymen—the Right Rev. Dr. Morris, the Rev. Messrs. Lee, 'Walsh, Foley, North, Moore, Stasiewicz, Sisk, Robson, Edmund Morris, Applegarth, Kelly, Conway, Sidden, O'Neal, Beaumont, Dr. Cox, and the Rev. Mr. Coles, Ca tholic clergyman a ',Woolwich, walked r ound the whole of the foundation of the future building, the Bishop sprinkling every part with holy-water, and repeating that part of the Catholic service appro priated to that ceremony. The whole of the services of the day were concluded by the Right Rev. Dr. Griffiths delivering the pontifical benediction. The Bishop was dressed in his cope and mitre, and had his crozier with him. The Right Rev. Dr. Morris was dressed in rochett and moxetta, and the clergymen in their surplices, and the scene altogether appeared to interest a great number of the spectators who were present in addition . to . the members of the Catholich Church, and the military of that religion, for accommodation it is intended to be built, ,thep‘rveseonset chapel being very limited in its accommodation.

At Chantilly the races went off with spirit, but the attendance of fashionables was not largeowing, however, to the very unfavourable state of the weather. On Sunday last the Paris races took place on the Champ-de-Mars, and, the day being beautifully fine, there was a good attendance of al, classes of people, from the aristocracy down to the small tradesman. The racing was exceedingly good! and excited the highest interest, and altogether the a'air went off to the great admiration of the gay and ungodly Parisians. One of the races was for 1501., and was won by M. Lupin's Angora, ridden by Hardy, an English jockey ; and another race for 1201. was won by Muse, belonging to the Baron de Rothschild.

A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a ape cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediatepayment of the premium for 5001. only.

The accounts received from the coast, in the course .of Thursday and Wednesday, relative to the effects of the dreadful storm which raged during Saturday and Sunday, were of a most distressing description. The loss of life and property has been immense. Shortly after the ship Hope, • from Quebec, had struck on the Goodwin Sands, on Saturday morning, two brigs heavily laden, the Mendingo, Captain Bur gin, bound for Jamaica, and the Felice Rosso, for Pernambuco, were driven by the force of _the storm on the sh ore un d er De a l C ast l e. They remained in a most perilous situation for many hours, both vessels beating violently on the' sands, surrounded with a tre mendous sea, which defied all attempts to get at them from the shore, although within 200 yards, and plenty of assistance at hand. One Deal boat, in attempting to reach the Mendingo, was capsized by the waves, and one of the crew was drowned; the others saved them selves .by clinging to the bottom of the boat. At lE ngth a steamer arrived from Margate, -the Royal George, and a rope being thrown on board of the dis tressed vessels, they were towed off, but not before 'hey had sustained such severe damage that the pumps were obliged to be kept in active operation to prevent them from sinking. At Dungeness, the first burst of the storm drove a large fishing -boat on to the hard sands near the middle battery, where she instantly became a wreck. The crew, consisting of six per sons, were washed ashore alive. Directly after wards the Beverley (a brig), of and belonging to Guernsey, master William Hall, and another brig, called the Rebecca and Eliza, from New castle-upon-Tyne, Odden, in ballast, on her pas sage to Rouen, became unmanageable, and were liven on shore within a short distance of each other at the same place. Within a few minutes after the Beverley struck, her decks blew up from the effects of the heavy sea, which made a complete breach over her, and the crew, to . save themselves, took to the rigging. In this situation they remained many hours, and at last were taken off by a party of the coast guard service, who put off in a lugger. They were in a dreadful state of exhaustion, and were all but dead. Both vessels, as the hurricane increased, became wrecks.' Their loss is described as being nearly 2,0001. At Ilfracombe the storm was severely felt. About four o'clock on Sunday morning a large brig, called the Wilberforce, from Saundersfoot, was totally lost three miles up the beach by striking on the rocks under the cliff. The whole of the crew, 10 in number, including the master, Mr. Nixon, perished with the ship. At daybreak the beach was found covered with spars and pieces of wreck belonging to the ill-fated craft. In the course o f t h e day the bodies of the captain and one of the seamen were washed ashore, shockingly disfigured about the head and face by coming in contact with the rocks. The Wilberforce and cargo are valued at 1,2001. About the same time a large barque, name .at .present unknown, was ob served to go down between four and five miles off Cromer lighthouse. Her crew (supposed to con sist of sixteen persons) sunk with her, and perished. The catastrophe was witnessed by a fishing coble belonging to Whitby, but the violence of the hurricane prevented them getting near her to render assistance. On Sunday morning, shortly before six o'clock, the schooner Watt, of Plymouth, was wrecked on the Boulder Bank, off East bourne, near Hastings. The vessel, which was valued at 1,6001., was laden with timber, and upon her homeward voyage from Quebec. Four hours after she struck, the crew were taken off the rigging by the Eastbourne life-boat. It is feared she will be a total loss. On Monday, early in the morning, a vessel was lost near Eyemouth, by breaking from her moorings and driving upon the beach ; she proved to be the Betsey, a schooner belonging to Dundee, laden with a cargo of coals which had been shipped at Newcastle. There were 12 passengers on board besides the crew, consisting.of three men, three women, and six young children, and their escape from a watery grave was truly miraculous. After the vessel struck, a line was thrown from the beach, by which they were drawn one by one through the breakers to the shore. The poor creatures, particularly the children, were in a shocking condition by the time they landed, but through proper treatment they shortly recevered. The vessel is insured for 8001. During the night 'she broke up, and her cargo was washed partly ashore. In the course.of the same day the Emma, of Swansea, was driven on the rocks at Sker Point, and is expected to become a total wreck. .Among the numerous vessels that have driven ashore in various parts of the coast, and in the same situation, are the following:—The Burfnah, of Bergen, at Whitby ; the Elizabeth, of South . Shields ; the Union, of Yarmouth, on the rocks off St. Michael's Mount ; the Ann and Ellen, of London, on the Skerrington Shoal; the brig Thnbuctoo, of Bristol, and twenty more. At Bideford the loss of life was dreadful in the ex treme. Several vessels were totally lost on Saturday and Sunday morning. Two of them are known to be the Auspicious; from Lowering, and the Thomas and Eliza of Neath. On Saturday morning a brig, called the Morgan of Tenby, from Hayle to Llanelly, laden with copper O. antlered in Se...Frei - Bay, and all onboard met with a watery grave. Another vessel, the Friends of Carbia, in Wales, went down in the course of the same morning in the Channel, those on board perishing with her. 11Iany other vessels are known to have been wrecked, but their names and fate of the crews have not been received. Loss OF TIIE FRENCH SCHOONER COUNA BABA. —As her Majesty's mail packet Medina, commanded by Mr. William Smithett, E.N., was proceeding with the mails for Kingstown yesterday morning, after passing the Rock Lighthouse, a vessel was seen by Capt. Smithett on Burbo Bank. The life-boat was im mediately got ready, and at ten minutes past 7 o'clock put in charge of Mr. Dillon, second master, who with nine men proceeded to the sand bank with a view of saving the perishing crew, as it was evident that the vessel must go to pieces on the flowing tide. It was blowing very strong from the north with a heavy sea. The life-boat, deeply laden, having in all 17 souls, behaved well, although at times she nearly filled with water. She returned to the packet at half-past eight, having the crew of the vessel, seven in number, who were put into the magazine life-boat, which Captain Smithett had observed making towards,ohettfilehrlnefecnl passingrNort • th r h e ee c r n, unfortunateeTa theot I hd d had e, a‘crnieedwda r i fn un t nt aeortp‘ o vri al proceeded rvde ei tei sa adg - aef t d - t : t myt oeloattnooldNr saveveedlaant her in adtnh, y i a s n e o p a s df o r t e wh t a sp n o d t h o is n o l r ie e r w return o th s i o s ho n o lo n r e n r in a g, C oo a n p i tai p sate lenteSniwirtehcektt, bottom up, on the sand-bank, and felt highly grati fied at having had it in his power to rescue the suf ferers from a watery grave.

COWES.—The Princess Victoria steamer has been lying off here, during the week, with the steam up, on the look-out for the Belgian steamer British Queen, from New York, but as the time of her de parture from that port is uncertain, the probable time of her arrival here is all conjecture. It has been blowing very hard here from the south-west. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT. —An inque st before Mr. held lately in the village of Pontantwn , Mr. W. Benville, on the body of Mr. Jos.

REVISION OF VOTING LISTS.—CAUTION TO OSTER sEEIIS.—The lists of voters for the western division of Gloucester have within the last few days been revised by Messrs. Kempson and Philihnore, the barristers appointed. The Learned Gentlemen made their cir cuit, and were attended by agents for the two parties —Messrs. Wild and Beck for the Whigs, Messrs. Burgess and IVormsley for the Conservatives. About 1,000 claims and objections were investigated. Seve ral of the overseers failed to attend at the places ap pointed, and were summoned to appear at the last place, where sonic had for th e i r neg li gence to come about 50 miles. A circumstance occurred during this circuit which is likely to lead to further proceedings. In two parishes the overseers did not make their ap pearance, either at the parishes or in the last place, where they had notice to attend. In one of the parishes the list exhibited 95 voters, and in the other 12, both of which are, in fact, by the non-attendance of the parochial officers, disfranchised until the next registration, The overseers are liable to heavy penal ties,anlc und er he Reform Act, for their negligence , to actions at law by the respective persons claiming to be voters.—Hereford Journal. t om.. -c.- •-z ,' IHIPS FOR NEW ZEALAND, under Charter to the NEW ZEALAND COMPANY, to sail as un dermentioned, via. : FOR WELLINGTON AND NELSON.
