The Magistrates had been di rected immediately to take the most energetic means to prevent the recurrence of such excesses. On those reports-his Majesty ordered the Chancellor to send a properly qualified person to attend the investigation. BERLIN, OCT. 13.—The result of the discussions of the Deputies of the Customs' Union at Stuttgardt will be made known in a few days by the publication of the Tariff for the next five years.

HA lIIIMICII, OCT. 13.-13 10, Two months 13 8 1, A STOCKHOLM, Oar. 7.—Seventy-five days, 12 8. SPAIN. MADRID, OCT. 11.—The comparative peace which we have enjoyed here since the closing of the Cham bers is fast breaking up, like the ice in spring. The Cortes is summoned ; party politics have received a personal stimulus in every province, and all is pre paration for the ensuing struggle for place and power. The Iberia, which claims to be a Ministerial paper, publishes to-day a very curious estimate of the state of parties in the Congress, from which it would ap pear that " the 'old majority," which supported the Gonzales Ministry, still stand aloof, and have not yet deigned to'enter into any terms with the Rodil Cabinet; —that "the new majority," which turned out Gonzales, are preparing violent measures of opposition upon all the recent topics of Moderadoanfl Republican outcry, from the " tyranny of Zurbano" ( down to the dismissal of the Queen's writing-master : that this very exigeant band of Deputies lately assembled, and previous to the journey of Senor Olozaga, called that remarkable individual before them, and demanded categorically, if he would or would not join them ?—if he would or would not accept the Presidency of the Congress ? and, par consequent, the Presidency of the Council—if he could get it ? The Iberia states that Senor Olozaga, reduced to the necessity of speaking positively, yes or no, said " Yes"—a conclusion upon which the Iberia offers no comment, as if it were quite a thing of course that Senor Olozaga should continue in opposition this session as well as he did the last one, enjoying all the. while a confidential position and a good salary I The Minister of Finance appears to be the most useful and active one at present, having mustered a month's pay for the passive classes throughout Spain—no trifle, as will be seen by the circular in the Gaceta of to-day, which estimates the month's pay of those in the province of Madrid alone at 4,200,019 reels (above 42,0001.) sterling), while the active classes on full pay in the same province .only draw 5,931,408 reels (about 60,0001.) Senor Cala trava has wisely directed the Intendants in all the provinces to publish similar expositions of the quan tities of money which their Treasuries pay to these " empleados out of office," that the nation may know what burdens hang upon the public purse,. and what difficulties the Minister of Finance has to encounter to meet all his liabilities. The Heraldo again assures us, that the Countess of Mina has been made a grande of Spain, and that the fact is known in the Palace; although the Gacetu says nothing about it. Don Juan Lacarte, Brigadier-General, has been ap pointed to the command of the troops in La Mancha, destined to extirpate " The Twelve Apnstles"andother bands of robbers—a very necessary and very trying campaign. FORMATION OF THE ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH SEA. jrt is still a question whether the polypes originate th e stoney bodies they inhabit, or whether they find them prei nared for their occupation by the hand of nature. Fester, whose experience gives some weight to his opinions on this subject, was inclined to be lieve that the lttle creatures actually form the matter which composes he coral masses, and consequently that, by their means, newislands are in a constant process of formation. The great Captain Cook, after a careful investigation di facts, had arrived at the same conclusion. Dalrsrmple, pn the other hand, thinks that these rocks take their rise at the bottom of the sea, from which they are detached by currents or tempests, and thrown on the sandbanks. This, no doubt, may take place in some. localities ; but the principle most assuredly cannot apply to those reefs which rise like walls in the midst of the ocean. Around New Holland, for example, the roe k g in ques tion ascend, like perpendicular ramparts, from a ver i y great depth. Such structures, it is obvious, must de, rive their origin from the animals themselves, unless we attempt-to account for them on the grounds of a new hypothesis, which intimates that they may grow in a manner similar to the common sea-weed, and that the insects found on them are analagous to those which take up their abode on trees and herbs ; a conclusion to which the arborescent appearance of some corals, and the fungous forms of others, are supposed to give a certain degree of countenance. By some authors these animalcules are called saxi • genous. or rock-making, polypes. They are supposed to begin their operations by selecting a suitable spot, such as the summit of a volcano, or the top of a sub marine mountain. Having chosen their site, with a reference, it should seem, to an ultimate object, they work with incredible diligence until they reach the surface, above which, as we have already stated, their nature and habits do not permit them to proceed. Mr, Lyell remarks, that the circular or oval forms of the numerous coral isles of the Pacific, with the lakes in their centre, naturally. suggest the idea that they are nothing more than the crests of submarine vol canoes, having the rims and bottoms of their craters overgrown with coral. This ppininn is strengthened by the conical }jape of the islands, 40 the acute angle at which they plunFe on all sides into the sio*: , rounding ocean. It has al4o been observed, that al though within the circular reefs there is usually nothing discernible but a lagoon, the bottom 4f which is covered with coral, yet within some of these basins, rocks, composed of porous Java and other volcanic substances, rise up, resembling eminences of igneous origin which have been formed in an epoch not beyond the limits of human observation,—RatOuree Cabinet Library, No. XXX 111. Polynesia. THE ALLEGED NEW CHURCH BILL.—We observe that our Contemporary the Scotsman announces that a new Bill for the nttlement of the Church question is in preparation. We profess to have no back-door communication whatever, and no authority to toßch on the purposes of our State Counsellors ; but we venture to say, reasoning on the paragraph referred to, that it presents a tissue of incredibilities, we would say almost impossibilities. We can hardly suppose, that after the recent experience in negotia tion with the Non-Intrusionists, ax experiPlisq mist strikingly illustrative of their equivocations and strange inconsistencies, the Government would again enter on a treaty to be conducted, without doubt, in the same way, and to end in a similar manner. We cannot believe, either, that $r George Sinclair, hav ing had all his zealous endeavours at adjustmA4 rgr warded with ingratitude, insult, and vituperation, would feel disposed to incur similar thanklessness, abuse, and contumely. We never will believe, till we see it, that eoncessions are to be made by the Government which shall contradict thpir owp. pro ceedings, enlarge irresponsible power, and strengthen the hands of ecclesiastical despotism. And further, if the " high legal functionary" refers to one who did attompt in vain to heal the divisions of the Church, previous to his plpyAtion to the honoured seat he now holds on the Beneh, we arc thoroughly persuaded that his entering on his high and rc;ponaikip office put an end to all such extraneous and extra judicial affairs. We repeat our belief, therefore, though we do not prottencj to have communication with those who are to manage the aganpments of the Church ques tion, that the announcement in the kleotsTne bears all the impressions of mere conjecture, and a moit-ini probable one.—Edinburgh Advertiser.

LONDON ELECTRICAL SOCIETY,' On 'Tuesday last, Mr. Phillips, a member, reported to the Society the particulars of an accident by light ning, near St. Austell, when two out of five children, who had taken refuge in a toll-house, were killed. The point of interest, in connection with the acci dent, is that the flash struck the very low building in which the little party had taken refuge, in preference to higher buildings in the immediate vicinity, in this respect bearing a close relationship to what occurred lat the Fishmonger's Alms-houses, Newington, and a small cottage in Lambeth. A translation by the Se cretary was then read of the, commencement of M. Becquerel's Researches on the electro-chemical pro perties of simple bodies. The author introduces his ' subject by dwelling upon the importance of electro chemistry, and takes occasion to introduce some very forcible arguments against the contact theory, of which we quote a most important one :—" When one substance acts on another, under the influence of light, electrical effects are produced, as in all chemical re-actions, which effects are manifested so long as this influence remains. If it cease to exist, there is no longer any sign of electricity, and, nevertheless, the contact of the newly-formed substances with the metallic plates still exists, and nothing is changed in the circuit." The author then enters on his task, by describing the mode of assaying and operating upon gold ore, preliminary to showing, not only in this, but in other observations with the said metal, the right and advantageous way of applying electro-chemistry. This portion of the subject was reserved for a future meeting. A theoretical paper, by Mr. Prater, M.E.S., was then read, in which the author strives to show that the identity between electrical and chemical affinity is not yet established. Mr. Weekes's Electro- Metereological Register for September was then read. The Secretary announced that Walter Hawkins, Esq., M.E.S., &c. &c., had -a third time endeavoured to obtain for the Society a live • specimen of the gymno notus, but had unfortunately failed. The animal had not survived the voyage. lle has presented it, dead though it be; and it is now in Mr. Letterby's hands for dissection. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

The members of the Society of Friends, ever amongst the foremost in works of sterling mercy and charity, have sot on foot, in Liverpool and elsewhere, a subscription for the relief of the distressed poor in the manufacturing .districts. This fact, so highly honour able to them, we learn from a circular just issued, from which the following is an extract : " The distress which, as is well known,, has for a considerable time existed to so large an extent in the manufacturing districts, and which, from present ap pearances, it is feared may continue, and even in crease, during, the approaching winter, has engaged the attention of some Friends of Liverpool, with refe rence to the propriety of raising a subscription, to be expended in the relief of the suffering poor of thoso districts. _ . " Friends of Yorkshire having, at the close of their tale quarterly meeting, resolved upon such a step, ap pointed a Committee to raise subscriptions for the re lief of the distress within that county, and a letter having teen received from a Friend near London, in timating that it was probable that Friends in London would meet, with a view to raise n subAcrlption for the same object ; a meeting of a few Friends of Liver pool was held there on the sth day, the 6th of 10th month, 1842, when the subject was discussed, and it was unanimously agreed that a subscription should be TAised, and that the co-oper:4o9l qll4 aid pf riends pf ether tnaetings 11 4 an ashiFP §llPtild 4e invited to carry on the object in view ; and the following Friends with power to add to their number, were appointed a Committee for these purposes, namely :—Robert Ab bott, William Blain, George Crosfield, James Cros field, Isaac lladwen, Nicholas Martindale, Samuel sl , 4nsfit . ;l4, Alfred Waterhouse?

TRADg.—Ths October series of iron ;misters quarterly meetings are just ended.

We subjoin a translation of the instructions issued by the Brazilian Government to the Commissioners appointed to prepare the new tariff on goods imkPorted to that country. The Report of the Commissioners would be presented to the Brazilian Chambers, at their meeting, on the Ist of January, which shows that it is not intended to make any change in the existing import duties before that time : BRAZILIAN TARsrr.—The instructions given by the Minister of Finance, Viscount de Abrantes, to the Commissioners (45 in number, divided into nine sections) assigns to each section a different descrip tion of goods, wares, or merchandise, and are expressed as follows, viz.:— " Art. I. The Commissioners altogether, or divided into sections, shall hold their conferences or meetings in one of the offices at the Custom-house, at such times as the Chairman of the Commission shall ap point. And the Collector of the Customs shall render every assistance in his power to forward the labours of the Commission, when requested to do so by the Chairman. " 11. Any member not being able to continue his attendance shall intimate the same to the Chairman, who shall report to the Treasury, pointing out at the same time a proper person to fill the situation. " 111. In settling the new tariff, the respective sec tions shall describe as accurately as possible, and classify all the productions and merchandise, general objects of commerce. " IV. The Commission shall arrange in alphabetical order the names of all goods, wares, and merchandise, according to their respective classes, and prepare an index specifying the page where they are to b© found in the tables of the tariff. " V. The amount of duty (not being less than 2 per cent., nor more than 60) shall be stated opposite each article of produce or merchandise described anq classified in the said tables. " VI. The duties to which the produce and mer chandise to be imported fur home consumption, re exported, or trar o l i tppe ( l, s h a ll b e subject, shall be caletkted (with such 'exceptions only as may be found expedient) according to th© weight of solids to the contents of liquids, and to the number of such as can be readily counted. " VII. A table shall be annexed to the tariff of the tares to be allowed on all goods, &v., which cannot or ought not to be weighed separate from the packages or cas6 1.4 which they are contained. " VIII. That in apportioning the duties the Com missioners must attend, " 1. To their being articles of greater or less ne cessity to the community tit large, or to the com fort a 'porton - 4 classes of the consumers. 4.! To the faoility or difficulty of smuggling the same. " 3. To the propriety of encouraging articles the produce of the country, or manufactured in it, or even of such as may in time become a substitute for those corning from abroad. "4. To. Utreoat facility in calculating the res tective duties, so as not to imp e de the clearing he same through the different departments of the Custom-house. " IX. The Commissioners are required to lay down rules, by which the officers employed in the Custom hoßsa, otight to he governed in the following cases 1. If the article or merchandise should be omitted in the tariff. "2. If any dispute should arise between the Cus tom. house officers and the proprietors or con signees of any goods, as to their classification or muunt of duties they ought to pay. " X. The Commissioners are equally required to propose any other measures which they may consider necessary or expedient for the more efficacious and ready collection of his Imperial Majesty's revenue of customs, and at the same time calculated to promote tl4o natural course of commercial improvement and augmentation." The two chief articles in the above are Nos. V. and VIII. By No. V. it is shown that no differential du ties are coutomplated in favour of or against any country. By the subdivisions of No. VIII. it is shown, however, that some intentions exist of levying pro tective duties for the encouragement of the home manufactures. The effect which the mission of Mr. Ellis may produce in that respect will probably de pend on tha concessions he may be authorised to make regarding the admission of Brazil sugars to British ports, WARSAW, OCT. 11.—The Emperor of Russia ar rived here the day before yesterday.—PrasBian State.

THE FREE TRADE THAT IS RUINING ENGLAND.— The cask of ordinary Bordeaux wine of 300 bottles, which is sold in Paris for 140 francs, costs in carriage and in octroi duty nearly half that sum. If the Eng lish duty were reduced to about 31. per cask, the people of London could drink French wine as cheap as those of Paris : and for one cask that is consumed now, at least six would be used. The revenue would be the gainer, even as regards the duty, and import ant concessions in favour of English manufactures would be granted, in return for such a boon to the wine growers of France. Good French ordinary wine could then be had in England at the rate of Gd. to 7d. a bottle, and the better sorts at 10d. to ls. a bottle. St. George, chateau neuf du Pape, and other wines of the south, could be had for ls. to ls. Gd. per bottle, at the. outside; for the finer qualities of these wines may be purchased, in the countries where they are grown, for 150 francs a cask. Add to 150 francs, 50 francs for carriage and expenses of every kind, and 75 francs for duty, and the cask of 300 bottles will cost less than 121. Picardan and other white wines of the south, which are strong-bodied wines, ap proaching Sherry in flavour," and highly agreeable, may be had at the same price. Many of these wines are sold in England, under different names, at this moment by wine merchants at the rate of 3s. and 3s. Gd. per bottle, for only a few persons are engaged in the trade ; but if the duties were lowered, they would find their way in a regular manner into the English market. A large reduction of duty would increase the sale of French wines in England at least five sixths. As to Brandy, the present rate of duty is enormous and absurd. Duties which keep out the wines and brandies of our neighbours, are the sort of free trade which ruins England, and foments hostility between her and other countries. _ _ STEAM-RAKED BREAD, A LA VIENNA.—It has been known for some time at Vienna, that if the hearth of an oven be cleansed with a moistened wisp of straw, bread baked therein immediately afterwards presents a much better appearance, the crust having a beautiful yellow tint. It was thence inferred that this peculiarity must be attributed to the vapour, which being condensed on the roof of the oven, fell back on the bread. At Paris, in order to secure with certainty so desirable an appearance, the following ar rangement is practised :—The hearth of the ovea is laid so as to form an inclined plane, with a risa of about eleven inches in three feet, and the arched roof is built lower at the end nearest the door, as compared with the furthest extremity. When the oven is c harged, the entrance is closed with a wet bundle of straw. By this arrangement the steam is driven down on the bread, and a golden-yellow -crust is given to the bread, as if it had been previously covered with the yolk of an egg.—Correspondent of the Annlls of Chemistry. - - ROBBERY OF PLATE, &c., AT HAMPTON COURT PALACE. Thursday Colonel T. Wood, M.P. (for Middlesex) and Mr. Pattison, of Poyle, County Magistrates, were occupied for several hours, at the office of Mr. Home (clerk to the Magistrates of the Staines Division) in the town of Staines, Middlesex, in investigating the circumstances connected with a most daring burglary, and extensive robbery of valuable plate and other ar ticles, which was committed on the night of Friday last, at Hampton Court Palace. The portion of the Palace which was entered were the apartments of Mrs. Sheridan and Lady Dufferin, and the persons in custody are Henry Grover, aged 30 years, a jobbing gardener of dissolute habits, liv ing at Hampton Wick, Martha Grover, his wife, aged 31 years, and Mary Anne Goatley, aged 19 years, formerly cook in the service of Mrs. Sheridan, which three are charged with the burglary and robbery, and Susan Foster, 60 years of age, living in Deptford lane, Peckham, who is mother of Martha Grover, who; is charged with having received part of the property, knowing it to have been stolen. The character of the case will he understood from the evidence of Mrs. Caroline Henrietta Sheridan, who deposed that she was in the occupation of apart ments in Hampton Court Palace. The prisoner, Mary Ann Goatley, had been her cook, and had the care of the apartments during witness's absence from home. Some short time since witness missed several articles of value, and told her she suspected her of taking them, when she said her friends were poor but honest; yet witness discharged her about the 4th of the present month. Before she left witness's house the plate was placed in a cupboard in the dining room, and Mary Ann Goatley assisted witness's other servants in carrying the cupboard in. The cupboard was left in the dining-room, and the cupboard as well as the parlour was locked, witness taking the keys with her into the country. Witness left her apart ments with all the doors secure on the sth inst., and was accompanied by all her family, no person remain ing in the apartments. The outer key was left, as usual, with Mrs. Gundry, the housekeeper of the Pa lace. Witness returned to her apartments on ' L i lo 17th inst., in consequence of having received a letter from Mrs. Gundry, informing her that her apart ments had been broken open, and the plate, &c., stolen. On witness's return she examined the cup board, and found by her list of plate, which was lying on the floor, that the following articles of plate were missing, viz. :—One silver teapot, ten dessert spoons, twelve table-spoons, four salt-spoons, mustard and pepper-spoons, two gravy spoons, one soup ladle, two sauce ladle s , seven t een large fo rks, nine small forks, a fish-slice, a butter-knife, nine teaspoons, all of silver. Also the following plated articles, viz. A toast-rack, a snuffer-dish, and a marrow spoon. These were all the articles witness then missed. Some of them had a crest, and some had not. The crest generally was a ducal coronet, with a stag's head issuing from it. Some had a cap of maintenance and a stag s head on it. Witness also found missing seve ral pairs of stockings and a tablecloth, with two part ridges wove in the pattern. Two pairs of the stock ings were black silk, and had never been worn. There are two windows to the kitchen of' witness's apart ments, both constructed very high in the wall, and not within the reach of a person of ordinary stature.

The dessert-spoon s produced by Sergeant Churchill, V 29, were also her property. After a good deal of evidence, Mr. Grey then proposed to call further witnesses to prove the identity of the prisoners, but Colonel Wood said the case had already been suf ficiently gone into to warrant the Magistrate in com mitting the whole of the prisoners for trial for burglary. The prisoner Goatley and Martha Grover (who ap peared near her confinement), with tears, appealed to Mrs. Sheridan for mercy, and the other two prisoners made no defence. Colonel Wood said they stood committed to Newgate for trial. The prisoners were next charged with having stolen various articles of wearing apparel, the property of Lady Dufferir. Lady Helen Selina Dufferin deposed that she re sided at Hampton Court Palace. On her return to her apartments on Monday last she found a press in the upstairs sleeping-room had been broken open, and various articles stolen. The two shawls, one of silk, called a Moorish scarf, and the other a China crape, and a shawl Cashmere dress, produced by James Grinbut, were her property, as were also a silk shawl a satin handkerchief; a shawl scarf, three pairs of white thread stockings, some ribbon, a pair of white kid gloves, a plated stand in pieces, produced by Sergeant Churchill, and likewise an Indian gold brooch, pro duced by policeman Kerrison. The prisoners were fully committed for trial upon that charge also, and were, in about an hour after wards, conveyed to Newgate. MURDEROUS ASSAULT AT DUNDEE. We glean the fallowing particulars of the horrid affair from the Dundee papers of Tuesday, and other sources:— James Duff, the unfortunate sufferer in the melan choly affair, rents the farm of Whitefield, in th e p ar i s h of Kirkmiciutel ; and Alexander M'Kenzie, the sup posed perpetrator of the horrid deed, rents the farm of Drumhead, in the parish of Glenisla, both in For farshire. Both appear to be extensive cattle-dealers, and in that capacity M'Kenzie purchased lately from Duff cattle and sheep to the value of 1,1801., which were to have been paid for on delivery. This, how ever, M'Kenzie did not do, but set off to the late Fal kirk Tryst for the purpose of selling them. Duff having some suspicion that the money would not be forthcoming, proceeded after M'Kenzie to Falkirk, where he learned that some of the stock had been sold by M'Kenzie at a less price than he promised to pay for them. The parties met, and Duff de• manded his money; M'Kenzie, however, on ivarious pretexts, evaded payment, and promised to pay Duff on reaching Edinburgh. The parties left Edinburgh on Thursday morning, and arrived at Dundee at four o'clock p.m., when they went to the house of Mrs. Wallace, corner of Barrack-street, where tea was or dered. Before tea M'Kenzie went out, leaving Duff alone. On getting to the foot of the stair in Barrack street, M'Kenzie desired Duff to wait till he (I%l'Kenzie) went back for something; and Duff, seeing a man smoking, went forward to get a light of his pipe. On being rejoined by M'Kenzie, they pro ceeded up Barrack-street, up the Constitution-road, thence by the side of the Newtyle Railway, and crossed the hill by the east side of the Law. They then proceeded through several parks, till M'Kenzie entered the stripe of wood, and requested Duff to follow him. It was nearly half-past six o'clock in the evening. Duff was extremely anxious to keep out of the wood, but at last consented to follow M'Kenzie and enter it. They walked along through the wood on a green ride lately formed to the westward. AVlCenzie then as k e d D u ff to step b efore him, and he had no sooner done so than he heard the report of a pistol, and felt the contents lodged within him. On receiving the murderous shot, which entered the back between the left shoulder and spine, .Duff stfiggered forward a few paces, and then looked over his shoulder, w h en h e saw `lienzie standing still. Apprehensive that M'Kenzie would fire a second time, or come up and despatch him, Duff exerted every energy to push his way, till by the most extraordinary exertions, he reached the house of James White, farm servant to Mr. Patullo, at Baldragon. On ar riving at the cottage he was unable to speak for some time, but on recovering explained to the inmates of the cottage, as correctly as he could, what had hap pened. Mr. Patullo immediately dispatched a mes senger on horseback into Dundee, for Dr. Cocks. The medical gentleman found a small wound betwixt the left shoulder and spine, which exhibited the appear ance of one caused by a shot from a gun or a s maller weapon. During the night a deposition from Duffof the facts of the case was taken down by James Thorns, Esq., J.P., and information was conveyed to Dundee, by Dr. Davidson. As to M'Kenzie, it appears that, supposing Duff to be dead, he ran off towards Dundee.

At the break in the wall, where they entered the wood, and for some distance before, the marks in the potatoe field distinctly correspond with the size of the shoes of both parties. On Sabbath evening M'Kenzie was taken mit to the cottage, in order to be identified by Duff.

Middlesborough is a town on the south bank of the river Tees, about four miles from Stockton ; the two towns are connected by railway. BOROUGH OF WEIGITMOUTH AND MELCOMBE REGIS.

DEATII OF LORD EDWARD PELHAM CLINTON.— We exceedingly regret to state that intelligence was received at Clumber, on Tuesday morning last, of the death of Lord Edward Pelham Clinton, fifth son of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, in the Chinese Empire. His Lordship was born on the 18th February, 1816 ; went out to that part of the world about a year ago, and was recent) promoted to a Lieutenancy. The full particular of this melancliiel,ly event have not transpired but we cannot dvoid deeply sympathising with his bereaved parent and relations ; and in this feeling, we are sure, numbers will participate in the neighbour hood of Retford, who knew and approved of the mauls virtues of this noble scion of a family who was inuci) and deservedly respected by a numerous circle of friends and admirers.—Doncaster Gazette. THE HAGUE, OCT. 18.—The Second Chamber of the States-General met yesterday. M. Van Dam, President during the first session, took the chair, and appointed two Committees to examine the re-election and the election of the new Members. The Committee having made their Reports, the Chamber proceeded to chose by ballot their candidates for the office of President during the session. The choice fell on M. Gevers, M. Lugben, and Van Dam van Isselt. The Chamber then adjourned. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—W. Vale, Esq., of hall Court, Mathon, om Tuesday morning suddenly fell from a chair in his own house, and instantly ex • pired. The deceased gentleman had arisen that morn ing to breakfast in his usual health, and had been out with his fruit-pickers; on the previous day he had attended the County Sessions at llereford. Imme diately on the occurrence of the accident, a neigbour ing gentleman, who was called in, opened a vein, but it was unattended with any success.— Worcester Journal. THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR.—Yesterday being the anniversary of the victory obtained by the immor tal Nelson over the combined fleets of France and Spain, off Cape Trafalgar, on the 21st of October, 1805, the Victory, lying in Portsmouth Harbour as the ordinary guard-ship, exhibited, upon the occa sion, a scene of extreme interest. The vessel was decked throughout with flags and other naval insignia, and a profusion of laurels and evergreens, which im parted to her a very imposing appearance. A grand dinner was given on board, at which the Admiral presided in person, and, the muster of that officer was held on that especial day. A. general invitation to dinner also was issued to all the officers of the ships in commission in the harbour. The animation that pervaded the crew upon the occasion, and the enthusiasm manifested by the very few who fought by Nelson's side when he so gloriously fell in the arms of victory, are well worthy a description from the pen of some naval historian. There are still surviving on board the Victory two of the brave fellows who shared in the glories of which to day is the anniversary. William Booth, the boat swain's mate, who at the battle of Trafalgar was one of Nelson's boys in the ward-room, and Philip Bar row, who fought by the ninth gun on the main deck, are still old seamen on board. There are also several others, who have since been appointed to the Victory from the Royal Sovereign and other ships, which were engaged in the above memorable action. Among them is Mr. Hughes, the gunner, and Mr. Cator, the additional acting-master. All the men who stood the • brunt on the 21st October, 1805, belonging to the dif ferent ships in the harbour, dined on board the Victory on this celebrated day, and were allowed grog ad libi tum to keep alive those patriotic feelings which the immortal hero of the Nile, Copenhagen, and Trafal gar inspired his men with on the day o f his death, and which are still recorded in the memorable words he signalled throughout the British fl e et u p on the Caain's -rooms, and upon a gar that occasion, and which are stamped upon t the poop, diately belo the state figure-head, viz “;—, Engiand expects ermme pt w that every man will do h i s dut y ."

EXTRAORDINART OCCURRENCE.— On Thursday, as a foreign I) • rig was beating up the river against a strong north-west breeze and with the tide, just above Green wich Hospital, she was driven, whilst endeavouring to avoid some ballast barges, in collision with the bows of the Dreadnought Seaman's Hospital ship. She,_ in order to pre ve nt the accident, let go her anchor. which got fouled by the haWser of another vessel. The fore topsail of the brig caught the well-known lion figure head of the Dreadnought, forced him off his legs, and capsized him overboard into the stream, leaving his tail behind. The carcase was sucked alongside the Dreadnought. The tail, during the confusion, rolled from the bows through the chains and nearly drifted away. The damage done was about Si. or 61. This king of the forest had recently had a new coating of gold, which, upon his being hauled upon deck, was discovered to have been much injured by the fall. It measures nine feet from stem to stern, and is about 16 hands high. It will have been observed by our readers that two lunatics have recently escaped 11.0111 Bethlehem. One was fortunately found ; but it is understoo d that the other is secreted somewhere, and is now writing lea ing articles for the Morning Herald.
