POPE, BROTHERS, and oo., , Abbey Wharf, Abing don-street, Westminster; Dock Head Wharf, Shad Thames, Southwark ; Anchor Wharf, 247, Wapping ; High Bridge Wharf, Greenwich ; and York Wharf, Augustus-street, Regent's Park Basin ; take thii opportunity of returning their thanks to their Friends and the Public for the liberal suiyort'they have received, in consequence of their reducing the Price of Coals, and beg to remind FaMilies, that the present time is decidedly the best for laying in a Winter Stock, as the increasing demand will of necessity raise the prices. It will be remembered, that the particular situa tions of Pope and Co.'s Wharfs give them facilities not possessed by any other firm, and enable them to supply this important article at any distance round London, not exceeding five milei from St. Paul's, or three miles from any of their Wharfs, at the same prices as in town. From the effects of their system already experienced, and the general feeling in favour thereof, Pope and Co. feel con vinced that nothing more than a trial is requisite to prove the fact, that they really no supply the BEST COALS at the lowest price of any firm in London. Their present prices (for Cash only) are— For Best Hetton's, Stewart's, or Lambton's Walls End, 28s. per ton ; Seconds, 245. to 265. Hartley, Tanfield, and all others in proportion. Orders (if by letter, post paid) to either of their Wharfs as above, will have immediate attention. FOR CORNS. RAMSBOTTOM C S664IIand BUNNION SOL VENT.—By the use of this valuable remedy immediate re lief from pain is obtained, and, by its successive application for a short period, the most obstinate corns are entirely removed, with out recourse to the dangerous operations of cutting or filing. The proprietor pledges himself that it does not contain caustic or any other article that will inflame the skin ; being white it will not stain the stocking, and the advantage it has over plaster is manifest, and fully appreciated as its very large and increasing sale testifies.

Boaouon, Auo. 28.—The duty on Tuesday had reached 150,0001., but owing to the cold nights, and the unsettled as spect of the weather, it went back yesterday to 145,0001., which is the present estimate. During the past week we have had three pockets of new hops at market ; they have been sold at extreme prices, which is invariably the case with the first at market. They realized from ten guineas, to 151. per cwt. In yearling hops very little has been done. The mar ket continues depressed. Present prices :—Sussex, 1833, 6/. to 7/. ss. ; Kents, 61. 6s. to 71. 10s. ; Yearlings, 51. 15s. to 6/. 15s. , • Old Olds, 255. to 70s. MAIDSTONE, AUG._ 27.--4 The Hops in• the neighbourhood are all improving, and Mr. Corrall's ground, which, at one time, was laid at two bags an acre, now bids fair to produce five or six. Other grounds look equally favourable. CANTERBURY, AUG. 27.—Strong grounds in this vicinity have continued to improve, several looking well, and will grow an average crop ; but those plantations which were so much blighted and destroyed by vermin, rcmain in a bad state, and will produce but little.

LAWS OF SALE Ey AUCTION.---It may be per haps of importance to many of , our readers to know, particu-- larly in these economical and retrenching times, that if a sale be publicly advertised, and any article in the catalogue not brought to the hammer, it is in the power of any person who may have come to that sale for the purpose of purchasing such article, to claim ally, and all expenses he; may have incurred to enable him to attend the said sal e . The claim is rarely urged—but an instance occurred very lately. Sir William Scott, of Anc rum , presented a claim for t h e whole amount of expellees in travelling from Ancrum to Westraw House, La narkshire, where the sale of Sir Windham Anstruther's effects lately took place, and when a racing colt was w i t h drawn by Sir Windham's tru s t ees in consequence of th e an i mal being seriously unwell. The men of the law are doubtful whether• Sir William's rank and station entitle him to charge post' borses at Is. 6d. per mile, or merely an outside place in a stage coach.--Scots Times. LONDON, TE ESDAY EVENING, "1 3 Ti ..1 "Nu ••r 1g34 .1 't LONDON AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY. On Tuesday next, in accordance with the act of parlia ment, the first meeting of the Directors to constitute a Board will take place. Had they been permitted to have assembled earlier, the work would have been in a more for ward state than it now is ; but seeing that the greater por tion of the line in Surrey is already staked out ; the value of the land arranged ; that tenders for the execution of the work from Vauxhall to Kingston are given in at lower prices than estimated.by the engineer ; and that workmen are ready to begin the moment the Board can give the order, the public will be satisfied that the Directors neither have or will slumber at their posts. In most undertakings of a similar description, a year has elapsed before the execution has begun ; but here, in the brief space of a month, th e preparatory arrangements are completed. Within twelve months the Railway from Vauxhall to Kingston will be opened to the public, and, we believe we may add, the line from Southampton to Winchester will be also finished. • In confirmation of this view, a meeting of the numerous sub scribers to this undertaking, who reside at or near Man chester, took place last week, to receive a report from the Directors, relative to the progress of the work. So gra tified were they by it, that they unanimously adopted reso lutions to the effect, that they deem the conduct of the managing committee, in obtaining the act of parliament, to have been most judicious ; the prospect of an adequate return for the invested capital to be highly encouraging ; and that they recommend the most strenuous exertions to promote the prompt execution of the whole line, l = along, at the same time, to the part from London to Kingston, as of primary importance. They have also appointed a re sident committee to correspond with the Board of Directors with a view to accelerate the progress of the work. Our friends in this part of the country will no doubt be pleased to learn the -confidence which that large- body of subscribers place in the measure, and the zeal with which they are co operating to forward it. It has had great difficulties to surmount, and powerful opponents to contend against ; but they are conquered, and the result will, we hope, be bene ficial to all.—Hampshire Avertiscr. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. The usual proportion of drunken charges, men and women, were brought to this office yesterday, but there was a remarkable falling off in the number of " old familiar faces," the journeymen tailors. It has been by no means an unfrequent occurrence to find, out of, perhaps, seventy or eighty drunken charges, that four-fifths were Irish journeymen tailors. Since the strike, either from want of means or from the wholesome determination of Mr. Cham- bers never to excuse a journeyman tailor the customary fine for drunkenness, these well-paid operatives do not occupy such a considerable portion of the police sheets. Among the drunken cases yesterday, several persons of both sexes, of very decent apbearance, figured, and it was quite amus ing to observe the ludicrous shifts they were put to, to excuse their disgraceful situation, and to evade payment of the fine. One of these worthies was John Sullivan, an Irish labourer, who had been found lying in the streets, in a state of helpless drunkenness, during church time. Mr.. CHAMBERS—You have got to pay five shillings for being drunk. Defendant—Let me aff this onc't plaze your honna. An never dhrunk before I'll oath it. Mr. CHAMBERS.—You an Irishman, and only drunk once. Come, I can't believe that. Defendant.—l'll spake the blessed trute. May'be I'm often gitting tipsy, but I'm only dhrunk once't. Mr. CHAMBERS.—When do you call yourself drunk? Defendant--I..vvon't' he drunk Meself, - whin I can. stand widout houlding. The MAGI§TUNTE was of another opinion, and ordered him to pay the usual fine. The next charge was Thomas Abbott, a very old man, with a brown scratch, about the size of a . muffin-cup, stuck on the apex of his cranium. He appeared bent double with some complaint, and made grimaces as if attacked by the cholera. Mr. CHAMBERS..—Wh-n do 'you mean to leave off the beastly practice of getting drunk ? Defendant.—Ah, I'm seldom in that state. I'm a martyr to the lumbago and bowel complaint : and, in order to sleep the better, funfor tunately took.a little drop too much. Mr. CHAMBOS.—How old are yoti?—l'm sixty-six. Mr. CHAMBERS.—WeII, walk away, and don't let me see you here again. The defendant scampered out of the dock, apparently quite relieved of his lumbago. - The third charge was Thomas Gregory, a well-dressed, middle-aged personage, of very grave appearance. He had been found drunk, and incapable of taking care of himself, by the police. CHAMBERS.—What are you ?—Defendant.—l'm weel kenn'd hereaboot ; I'm a householder and a lease holder baith. Mr. CHAMBERS.—Then you are the better able to pay the fine of ss. Defendant.—Na, na ; I canna part wi' ony siller. I was not fou, ye ken. I was just half and half. Mr. CHAMBERS.—That's enough for me. Come, pay five shillings or be locked up. Defendant.—Make it twa and sixpence this ae time. There's half-a-croon t'ye. Mr. CHAMBERS.—NO ; pay it all. The old gentleman was- handed out of the dock, and after a hard tussle with the gaoler to take off a " shilling or twa," he paid the fine and left the office. Dominique and Thomas Elheut, together with their mo ther, Brid . get Elheut, were yesterday placed at the bar, charged with a violent and ferocious attack on the police. It appeared from the evidence of one of the police con stables that a number of drunken persons having collected together at the corner of Berwick-street, they were desired to move on, which they did, but again assembled at the corner of Hopkins-street. On attempting to disperse th em Domi nique g ave him a dreadful bl ow btween the eyes, which rendered him almost senseless. He was then beaten dread fully, as were the other constables, and the brickbats flew about them like hailstones, the brother and mother, with about twenty others, each contributing to the ill usage of the constables. They succeeded, however, in lodging the three prisoners safe in the watchhouse. Mr. DYER regretted that the constables had been so ill used, and fined the male prisoners five pounds each, or two months' imprisonment in default. The mother was discharged, - • QUEEN-SQUARE. CAUTION TO SERVANS-George Cook, Thomas Ro berts, and Henry Cook, were placed at the bar, charged with stealing three silver spoons from the house of Mr. Rowley, No. 38, West-square, Lambeth. Committed. BO IV-STREET. James Quick, a man who has been employed for a long time as porter to Mr. Mason, the bookseller, of 444, Strand, was brought before Sir FREDERICK A. Roe, charged upon sus picion with stealing a large quantity -of books from his mas ter's shop. Mr. Mason said on Saturday he was told that some of the books which he published were being sold at a great deal lower price by a man over in the New Cut, Lambeth. He went over, and certainly did find that such was the fact, for he bought for 1/. ss. books which he, at the wholesale prices, would have charged 4/. for. He knew them at once to be his property, and that some of them must have been taken away within three weeks. As there Were many of them that could not have been taken except from the back warehouse, suspicion naturally fell upon the porter, who was the only pe r son who had access to that pl ace to their knowledge. They had a boy, a young brother of the prisoner's, also in their em ployment, and the result of the inquiries which they had in stituted since they found it out, was that they were inclined to' believe the prisoner was not the guilty party. His brother had told them, that he had allowed an old servant of theirs to loiter about the premises in a morning, before his brother (the prisoner) came. He used to come under the pretence of asking for the prisoner, and they were now inclined, from the description given of the person who sold the books to the party in the New-cut, to think that it was their old porter. His name was Welch, and they wished to have a warrant for his apprehension. Sir F. ROE said then then he must discharge the prisoner. It was not at all necessary that they should have a warrant ; a Constable would be perfectly justified in taking him into custody upon the suspicion of felony. He wondered the person who had bought the books did not appear. He ought to have de scribed the person from whom he purchased them. Mr. Mason said his name was Munting, and he said he had dealt with the same person for two years, but did not know either his address or name. The prisoner vas then discharged, and the Magistrate ad vised the prosecutor to use every exertion to probe the matter to the bottom. Wrn. Hall was charged by ---- a lumper, with stealing four tons of grease under the following circumstances The complainant makes his living by purchasing such stuff from captains of ships. On Saturday week last he bought five tons of it in the London Docks ; he there saw the prisoner, with whom he bargained about it; he sold it him for 31. los., the money to be paid before a particle of it was taken away. The money was to be paid on Friday, but on that day the pri soner said he could not before Monday complete the contract. The stuff was in a barge and hauled alongside of a wharf in the Borough. On the Saturday p r i soner an d hi s w if e hi re d a cart and went to Lb n : tellinz him they had paid for it and were to get it; he believed them, and allowed them to get at it ; they removed four tons of it without paying a shilling or having his leave. The Magistrate sent the case over to be disposed of at the Union-hall-office, as the offence was committed in that district. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Henry Higgins, a respectable-looking young man, was charged with unlawfully disposing of several prints, principally on scriptural subjects, entrusted to him by a Mr. Newman, for the purpose of circulating amongst some branches of the Nobility and other persons interested in the welfare of the Porteusian Bible Society. The complainant entrusted the prisoner with between 250 and 300 prints to deliver to various individuals, in cluding several of the Nobility, an employment which was readily accepted by the accused, who was to have been paid according to the time and trouble expended in the de livery, but there was no specific agreement as to the precise payment he was to have had. Soon after he had under taken the employment complainant ascertained that he had not delivered the prints according to the agreement, and he (complainant) was furnished with letters from Noblemen and Gentlemen in reply to his, stating that they had not re ceived the prints, although the accused told him that he had either forvvatcled them, or left them with the parties himself.- In reply to Mr. WEDGWOOD, the complainant stated that. the prisoner Was directed by him to leave a print with Mr. Waithman, and he said that he had delivered it. In an in terview complainant subsequently had with that gentleman he said that nothing of the kind ever came to hand, and when the .prisoner was questioned on the subject he then admitted the truth, namely, that no print had been left with Mr. Waithman, neither had it been returned to him. Mr. WEDGWOOD asked the accused what he had to say to this lattei charge ? The prisoner entrusted the print for Mr. Waithman to a friend of his to deliver, but that friend, it appeared, did not keep his word, and when he was ap prised of the facthe offered to remunerate the complainant for the loss he sustained. Mr. NEWUAN said that if it was only a solitary instance he should not haVe taken any steps agalnst the accused, but there were still nearly 100 prints which were delivered to PRICE 7D. him to circulate, but he neglected doing so, and had never returned them. In reply to Mr. TRAILL •the complainant got up the prints at his own cost to circulate amongst- those interested in the welfare ofthe Porteusian Bible Society ; that although there was no claim of payment to be made upon those to whom the prints were distributed, yet of course it was not intended by him to reject any remuneration which they fairly entitled him to. Mr. TRAILL then asked the complainant whether he was in a situation to prove that the accused had been paid by him for the disposing of any of the prints which he afterwards had not delivered ; then a charge of obtaining money under false pretences might be made against him. The complainant had paid the prisoner for the de livery of some of the prints, but he could not select any particular case, having given him so large a number ,to distribute. He was prepared, however, with letters from several high personages, and amongst them the Marquis of Exeter and Lord Palmerston, notify ing to him that the prints had not been received, although the prisoner assured him that they had been delivered to those noblemen. Mr. Wedgwood said that it might be easily conceived that the prints were left at the residences of these No blemen, but yet they might not have come into their hands. It was not improbable that they might have fallen into the hands of some of the servants, who, seeing they were co loured prints, converted them to their own use. At all events none of the . parties from whom complainant had re ceived letters were in „ittAndance to bear out his testimony. .... . The accused had not been paid by the complainant ac cording to the original statement, and eonidered it a hard case that he should have been brought up on such a charge. The complainant had no vindictive feelings against the accused, who had hitherto put him at defiance, and boasted that the law could not 'reach him, being under age. It was for the purpose of showing him that he had acted ex tremely improper, to say the least of it, that he was g iven into custody on the ch arge . Th e comp l a i nant then added that he had lost upwards of 100/. by the publication of the .prints, and that it was, attributable in a great measure to the prisoner's conduct, as he (complainant) had En idea that they were unworthy of notice in consequence of not having received acknowledgments from those individuals to whom the accused asserted that he had delivered them. The MAGISTRATES consulted for a short time, and then said that they should discharge the accused, as it was im possible to come to any satisfactory con"sion on the subject. A little girl, named Love, only seven years of age, was charged with stealing a shawl, the property of a female named Freeman. _ _ The complainant lived in the same house with the girl Love, who happened to be standing at the door, and seeing the.former leave the house for the purpose of going to mar ket, slipped into her room and took a shawl, which she af terwards pledged at a pawnbroker's shop. The prisoner, although so young, evinced a degree of cunning and hardihood not to be often met with in those her seniors by many years. She denied having ever seen the article which she was charged with having stolen, and argued the impossibility of her being the thief when at - a distance from the house when the robbery was effected. When asked by the Magistrate whether he intended to deny that she had pawned the shawl at a pawnbroker's, she said that she did deny it, and persisted that there was not one word of truth in what had been alleged against her. The pawnbroker with whom the article was pledged was sent for, and he immediately identified the prisoner as the girl from whom he had taken it in. " Now'," said the Magistrate to the p r i soner , " w h a t have you to say?" " Why, that I. am innocent," was the reply. She was committed for trial. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday Mr. Stirling and a Jury sat at the Duke of York, near the West Middlesex Waterworks, on view of the body of Joseph Newman, aged 55, turncock to the West Middlesex Water Company, who was killed by fall ing into a valve-hole at their reservoir at Kensington. The Jury viewed the body, which lay in an outhouse attached to the deceased's cottage by the reservoir. The head pre sented a shocking spectacle, the skull being dissevered from the top of the nose to the posterior part of the head, as if cut open by a cleaver. The Jury afterwards examined the valve-hole, which was a few yards from the cottage where the deceased lived, and which lay at the foot of the hill which forms the reservoir. At the bottom of the hole runs a large pipe, which has several ledges and nuts that form a valve, which gives the name to the hole. The hole is eight and a half feet deep at one end, and at bottom about six feet in length, the width being about three or four feet at the top. Verdict—" That the deceased died in conse quence of injuries received from accidentally falling into a valve-hole, and the 'Jury recommend to 'the Commissioners of the Waterworks Company that the places which are dangerous about the reservoir should be properly secured." Yesterday afternoon an inquest was taken before Mr. Higgs, at the workhouse, Poland-street, Oxford -street, on the body of John Stevens, shopman to Mr. King, gm-maker, of No. 37, Pall-mall, who destroyed himself by hanging. Ann Skinner, servant to Mr. King, of 37, Pall-mall, stated that the deceased was in the same employ, and was twenty nine years old. He was of sound mind when sober, but too fond of drink. He had very often of late been intoxi-- cated, but as they had all known him from childhood they had endeavoured to screen him, and Mr. King passed over many of his errors. The deceased was so good when sober that they all loved him ; but when tipsy he was violent and they were afraid he would do some desperate act. He had a wife and family living at Palmer's-village, whom he was in the practice of visiting after shop hours, but returned to s leep on the premises. On Friday afternoon Mr. King gave him permission to leave at seven o'clock for the pur pose of seeing his pig killed. He was then in good spirits. She never saw him afterwards alive. The following morn ing, at about half-past eight o'clock, finding the shop re mained closed, she thought the deceased, who slept there, might not have waked, and went in to call him, and found him hanging by his handkerchief behind a doorway. She cut him down with her scissors, and instantly raised an alarm. Verdict—" That the deceased destroyed himself during a fit of insanity brought on by excessive drinking." THE COURTMARTIAL ON PRIVATE JOHN HUTCHINSON. The report of the proceedings of a Courtmartial held at St. George's Barracks, Charing-cross, on private John Hutchinson, of Lieutenant-Colonel Blane's company of the Ist battalion of the Scots Fusileer Guards, who was brought to trial by order of Colonel Bowater, the officer commanding that regiment, upon the following charges :- Ist. For being drunk and quitting his post, when picket sentry at the Canteen door, at St. George's Barracks, at or about half-past two o'clock p.m., on the 24th of June, 1834. 2d. For making use of abusive and threatening language, and offering to strike Sergeant Donald TSPKechnie, of Lien icnant-Culiniel Frendergast's company (sergeant of the barrack guard), at St. George's Barracks, at or about half past two o'clock, p.m., the 24th of June, 1834, when in the execution of his duty. The Court was composed of the following members, viz.:—Colonel Digby, President ; Captain Moncrief, Cap tain Ebrington, Captain Rooke, Captain Walker, Captain Taubman, Lieutenant Rushbrooke, and Lieutenant Wellan. The charges having been read over by the-Court, the prisoner pleaded not guilty. Sergeant Miles deposed, that he was sergeant of the picket, upon which guard the prisoner was placed at the time alleged in the charge. Witness was ordered by Drill Serjeant M'Cleery to inquire into the state -in which the prisoner was, it having been reported that he was intoxi cated. He found him to be unsteady from liquor, and took him to the guard-room and confined him there. Cross-examined by the priSoner—Did you hear me make use of any abusive or threatening language to 'Serjeant M`Kechnie, or did you see me offer to strike him ? Wit ness—No, I did not. • Corporal Hamson, of the same battalion, upon being sworn, gave a similar statement to that of Serjeant Miles. Serjeant M‘Kechnie, the serjeant of the barrack-guard, sworn. In consequence of •the report he_ had received it becathe his duty to order the prisoner into the dry-room (a kind of black-hole) ; lie found the prisoner on a bench in side the guard-room ; when he went in witness said, " Why the devil don't you take that man to the dry-room ?" The prisoner rose up .and said that he wished to see the serjeant major before he was confined, at the same time lifting up his arm as if about to make a blow ; he parried the blow, and knocked the prisoner over the bench which Ile had been sitting upon. The prisoner called him a -- scoundrel, and said that he would knock his timing out. He then ordered two men to move the prisoner to the dry-room, and he went quietly. By the prisoner—Did you not shove me over the bench with violence previous to my offering to strike you, as you have stated ? Serjeant M'Kechnie—ln consequence of your getting up to strike me I was compelled to parry.your blow-, by which you-were knocked over the bench. corporal Corporal Chambers sworn and examined —Was By the prisoner —Did not Serjeant M'Kechnie shove me over the bench with violence ? Witness--To prevent a blow from you, he parried it by shoving you away with his arm. Prisoner—Was it not one of the men that I used the offensive expression to ? Witness—No ; either one Ser jeant or the other. Private Valentine sworn and examined by the Court— Was on the barrack guard on the day named. Prisoner—Did you see me attempt to strike Serjeant Al' Kechnie ? 'Witness—No ; I did not. Prisoner—Did you hear me make use of threatening. or abusive language to Serjeant M'Kechnie or any one else there ? Witness—l did not. Private Henderson sworn and examined.—His testimony was precisely to the same effect as that of the last witness. Private Greig gave similar evidence. Private Fitzpatrick gave similar testimony. - Private Shillinglew sworn, and examined by the prisoner. Prisoner —Were you a built man (a man confined to barracks, and prohibited from entering the Canteen) at the time I was on sentry at the Canteen, on the 24th June ? Witness—No. Prisoner—When I came out of the Canteen on that day, did I not immediately return to my post, when I was satis fied that you were not built up at that time ? Witness— Yes, you did. There beini , no more witness es , th e pr i soner was ca ll ed upon for his defence. The prisoner denied that he was drunk, or incapable of doing his duty. He was placed as picket sentry at tho Canteen, on the day named. It.w f ts his orders to prevent any man confined to barrack:l:lmm: nattering the Canteen ; nd he considered himself leaving his post for a , oment, because he thought.* „seen a built man IL, i to the Canteen against orders. V.'ith regard to the second :71',trge he said, that in raising his hand, as it was alleged, against the serjeant, it was only to prevent himself from being struck down. The Court wets now cleared, and after a short delibera tion broke lip, and the prisoner was taken to his place of confinement. On Tuesday, the 15th of July, .he was brought out - before the battalion, 'commanded by Colonel Bowater, and the minutes having been read over, the Court found him guilty of both charges, and sentenced him to receive 300 lashes on his bare back, which was immediately car ried into execution, the particulars of which have already appeared, and need not be repeated. It took twenty-eight days to cure the unfortunate man's back after this horrible punishment, and his constitution is most severely injured. CALAIS. HOTEL RIGNOLLE, AUG. 29.—An unusual number of cou riers of the quadripartite Powers have passed through this port, on their way to and from London during the present week. The Spanish foreign messenger Sandoval, who embarked a few days since with despatches for the Marquis de Miraflores, . has returned en route for Madrid. Mr. Hunter, the King's • messenger, left this place to day, at 11 a.m., with despatches for our Charge d'Affaires at Paris ( Mr. Hervey Aston.) It is not generally known that our messengers, for a considera tion, are permitted to accommodate a traveller with a seat in their chaise de poste. Col. Davison, returning from the moors in the North, availed himself of Mr. Hunter's convey ance to proceed to Paris. Lord James Stuart, also coming from the North, has departed for Switzerland ; and Lord and Lady Charles Townshend and one of the Lords Seymour have left for Belgium. _I conversed yesterday with an English officer of rank, who has just returned from a tour to the celebrated " Brunnens." He described the principal German spas to be crowded to an overflow with English people of rank and fashion. At Wies baden, accommodation at the hotel s was not to b e ha d , an d therefore many were compelled to content themselves with in ferior lodgings in farmhouses, or make a detour into the Swiss Cantons. As might be expected, every thing was rendered dearer by this extraordinary influx of foreigners, and so much as 12s. per diem for a small apartment were demanded. Co lonel says that the obstacles thrown in the way of per sons travelling from Belgium to the Dutch territories are as great now as at any period since the Belgian revolution. In deed, even through France, great strictness is observed with regard to passports. At L'Orient the authorities recently de manded a passport of an Englishman who had resided in the vicinity of that place for 18 months. Mr. Long Wellesley and his eldest son, Mr. William Wel lesley were living in " style " at Aix-la-Chapelle. Mr. W. Wellesley will attain his majority in about six weeks, when he will come into the possession of a rent-roll of 14,0001 per an num, and return to England. Seven hundred and fifty-five passengers and 17 private car riages have been landed here during the past week from Eng land. Boulogne is, I understand, very gay now. Great numbers of Parisian fashionables are visiting the place, on account of the " Bains de Mer." The Marquis of Hertford patronised the sherdy-e-dna—horie manship, and set off, after three or four days sojourn, on a visit to his son, the Earl of Yarmouth, at Paris. Among the haut ton, at Boulogne, are Viscount and Vis countess Bury, Captain and Lady Mabella Knox, Vice Admi ral Sir Willoughby Lake, Admiral Aylmer, Lady Twysden, Mr. and Mrs. F. Webb, &c.

A ROBBER ROBBED. --011 Thursday afternoon, a man, giving. the-name of Tucker, applied at the Guildhall, Bath, for assistance, stating that he had been robbed at a.pub lic-house in that city of 31 sovereigns, and a watch. The man was dressed in a new suit of sailor's clothes. The unexpected question as to how he came by the cash rroauced an evasive reply, which induced a suspicion that he had become possessed of the money of which he had been robbed by some unlawful means. He was therefore detained until further information could be obtained respecting bini. It appearing that the pri soner had been recently at Wahycombe, near Dunster, the authorities of that place were written to, giving a description of the captive ; and on Tuesday, a constable arrived in Bath, with a warrant to apprehend the prisoner, on a charge of breaking Open a house at Withyctinibe, and stealing 24 so vereigns. It seems that the scoundrel who robbed the pri soner had accompanied him fromßristol.—Briatol Mercury. DREADFUL STORM AND LOSS OF LIFE. Dr. Automarchi gives the following account of a recent storm, during which the lightning entered the house in which he was :—" I was at breakfast with my father and family, and a nurnerous.,party of friends, at the little vil lage of Santi, when the lightning entered the room where we were sitting One branch of the electric fluid made its way through the wall, immediately,bove me, at about a foot from my head, without touching me ; -,-but struck Mdlle. Blassini, a young lady seated on my right hand, and killed her. The right side of her head and ear was burnt, and her hair was set on fire. The lightning descended by the neck, the breast, the body, and the leg, on the same side, leaving traces of its passage by severe excoriations. M. Stella, a young abbe, who sat next to the young lady, was also struck by the same current, which passed from the silk dress and apron of the youn g lady to hi s l e ft k nee , scorching his leg from top to bottom, leaving a severe bruise on the top of the foot and two of his toes ; his shoe was forced off, and torn into pieces. My eldest sister also received the shock, but it only carried away her shoe and a piece of her stocking without touching the skin. All the rest of the persons were more or less affected, but we were all thrown down. The bronze mask of the Emperor, which was suspended between two openings made in the wall by the lightning, was untouched. Servants were thrown and scattered in all directions, but none of them were injured. The damage done presented a frightful scene of desolation. - This phenomenon, which is extremely rare in this com mune, spread terror through Cape Corte. In my bed chamber the lightning attacked one of the four gilt 'orna ments of an iron bedstead, and broke it into small pieces, the three others were damaged, but not so much. Plates, glasses, and other things were broken. A dog was killed at my f00t." 7 -Eroni a - Paris Paper. INTERESTING MILITARY EXPERIMENT. On Tuesday last a very interesting experiment was, made at Chatham, by the Royal' Sappers and Miners, for the purpose of ascertaining the practicability, within certain limits, of destroying or expo s ing by mi n e s th e galleries, &c., of an enemy's mine. Bellidor, a celebrated French engi neer, asserted nearly a century ago the possibility of carry ing on approaches even to the works of the place, by thus exposing the sonterraneans of a fortress. The experiment, as far as it went, verified the deductions of the French engineer, a shaft sun k, an d a . ga ll er y driven to within a given distance of the mine, Containing nearly 140 lbs - of gunpowder, being - ruined and exposed by the explosion. We consider the mining establishment at Chatham to be a most useful one, and too much praise cannot be given to Colonel Pasley, of the Royal Engineers, for the efficiency and knowledge now possessed by this department of the British army. The sieges undertaken by us in the Penin sula afforded ample proof of the want of a body of men re gularly educated for sapping and mining. The accounts in " Napier's History" of our sieges proves that an enormous waste of life was occasioned by not having regular sappers and miners. The workmen who had to break ground be fore Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajos had absolutely to learn the use of their tools, those not being the days of intuition. The experiments and researches of St. Remy, Bellidor, La Valliere, and other French engineers, on the important subject of mines, are well worthy the attention not only of the engineer officers, but of British officers in general. It is remarkable that gunpowder, although used so early as 1346 for discharging balls from cannon at the battle of Cressy, was not employed for mining till 1487, by the Genoese, at the siege of Serezanella, a town belonging to the Florentines. In this instance, from the engineer not employing a sufficient quantity, the attempt failed. • Peter de Navarro had better success in 1503, at the siege of the citadel of Naples, ,held by the French against the Spa niards. The Commandant of this fort refusing to sur render, Peter de Navarrow blew up the wall of the castle and carried the place by assault.— United Service Gazette. SIIIRES.—The territorial divisions of England are not the conseqUences of a legislative act of any single govern ing body ; they are the effect of the ancient partition of the country among powerful chiefs. The counties were their shires or shares (for it is the same word) of territory. Thus Berkshire is a corruption of Beroc's share—the share of Beroc a powerful chieftain. These shares of course varied according to the accidents of warfare and aggrandisement, and retain strong traces of the independence of central government, which was their original character.—Sarah Austin. IMPORTANT SHAVING CASE.—In Dundee there irs been a good deal of fuss respecting the case of a barber against his apprentice for refusin ,, .to shave his customers art Sunday morning. After a good' deal of litigation, the case has been decided -by the rnagistrate against the apprentice, v.-11.0 has- to pay the expenses of process. The interlocutor says-that it is the existing usage for a number of mechanics and seafaring men to get shaved on Sunday morning before ten o'clock, and that their conduct has always been decent and orderly ; besides,.it is' obvious that if workmen who are not themselves accustomed to shave were forbidden the aid of barbers in their shops "on Sunday mornings, many decently disposed men would be prevented from frequenting places of worship, and from associating in a becoming manner with their families and friends, through want of personal cleanli ness ; and the attempt to roduce the minor evil might lead to serious offences. But finds that the apprentice is not bound, nor is it lawful for him, to work in the making of wigs, or in similar employments not immediately necessary for the day. Nor is he to shave after ten o'clock on Sunday morning?: Be sides, the apprentice in question was eight months at the trade before he was bound, and made no objection.
