The position they have assumed, and the voles de fait. by which they have followed it up, may be considered as in some respects parallel to our own in 1840. They have acted in reliance on English neutrality—and with the covert zest of a revanche against English policy. They have mainly laboured to demonstrate to Abd-er-Rahman (the Prince de Joinville's dispatch, which our readers will find elsewhere, says it in so many worth) that they could " hit him hard, for he had no friends?' That is to say, that England could not, or would not, befriend him. This is precisely what offended them so sorely in our proceedings towards Mehemet Ali. Well !—having had their revanche—having demon strated to the Mussulman the only truth that Chris tian Powers ever take the trouble to demonstrate to Mussulmen—namely, that they, the said Chric tian Powers, are able to drub them at discre" having taken thi s very cogent method coming the M oor i s h repugnance to `: 11Q " new of over gion of Algie rs ( t h e opera, and reli lards)—one w ou ld t hi nk wh- 1 tious y call thei r pubi;- might oour neighbours face laurels. They mi- - c mind rest on its ‘ - took their wi• - '4nt remember how very coolly we rest int .” .tith and our triumphs at Acre. Nothing cafes trois bit- any sort of effervescence in the way of glory orand:Gallicanistn appeared anywhere in the haunts where cocknies most do congregate. The veni-vidi-vici feat of Acre, and the prompt clearance of Syria, were matters which seemed to be deemed worthy of business-like entry at most, as accounts settled ; and as regarded any triumphant memorial of them, we remember none but the metrical log of a Jack Tar— hipman, on board her Majesty's ship Standard, and, in due course, was appointed, Admiralty passed, mid • shipman to her Majesty's ship and served in the Majesty West Indies, He died at Kingstown, Jamaica, 4th William ,ssh N ip ic c o h ll a s th s a i m xt , h on so t n h , e j l o v i a n i e c d he t r h e e n l: t o p y e a d l April, 1819, of yellow fever. and afterwards in the West Indies, rines, as lieutenant', 1812, and served on boar:, her invalided, having lost his health * a the island of Ber muda, and died soon after in 4.).0' '.;Hence he was surviving son, now Commander Jonathan N . molls R N the youngest ieraine, May 18, 1819. "'tying With' his mother in Coleraine, has a1 `.,0 signalised himself in defence the hard c He bore a part in several of of his country diate e, r Jnie . sted engagements under the imme es of Lord Nelson, Sir H. Parker, and Sir rr -. Graves, and received a wound at the Darda , ..elles, the effects of which have been the shelving or exfoliation of the bones of his leg, and increasing suppuration discharging from his wounds ever since, rendering his leg a burden to him. He is now, in consequence, retired on half-pay—a slender income for an officer of his standing and superior merit. Commander Nicolls entered the navy as a first-class volunteer, early in 1800, on board the Defiance, and was present in her at the blockade of Brest, Saints, and Laryengues, under the command of Admirals Earl St. Vincent, Lords: Cornwallis and BridpOicand other gallant officers, during which period he was frequently engaged with the enemy, and was present, though but 15 years old, in that ship's barge, with the late gallant captain, then Lieutenant Mouncey, when she cut out a chasmaree between Ushant and St. Matthew, from under the fire of the field-pieces which lined the beach, and brought her off to the squadron. He also served in said ship on the Baltic expedition, and was present at the battle of Copenhagen. The ship bore the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir T. Graves, and was under the immediate command of Lord Viscount Nel son. The Defiance was then nearly destroyed by fire from red-hot shot discharged by the great Crown Battery ; she had 102 officers and men killed and wounded, and amongst the former, Lieutenant George Grey, to whom he was A.D.C. He after wards served in the Goliah and Trent, in the West Indies, and was present in the former ship at the capture of several of the enemy's vessels. The next actions in which he figured were the blockades of Rochfort, St. Martin's, and Sable delone, where the Goliah's boats cut out the brig Rachel from u n d er th e enemy's batteries and ships of war. He was afterwards successively engaged under Sir J. T. Duckworth, Sir S. Smith, and Sir T. Lewis, and was present at the cutting out of a large Polacer ship of 500 tons, when he was badly wounded, and nearly lost his left eye ; at the captures of Alexandria and Elhamett ; and at the capture of the President French ship. After upwards of nine months' severe suffering from wounds and climate he returned to Europe. On recruiting his health, he was appointed junior lieutenant of the Superb, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir R. Keats, in which vessel he served in the Mediterranean. He again returned as an in valid, on half-pay. His health again improving, he was appointed to Malin Head signal station twice in succession, in command of the gun-boats in Lough Swilly, Donegal. The Lords of the Admiralty were graciously pleased to appoint him a commander of the fleet in April last—after being on the list of lieute nants for nearly thirty-seven years, during the greater part of which he suffered very severely in his general health, brought on in consequence of his se vere wounds. He has been present at the destruction of upwards of 100 sail of the enemy's ships of war, of every description. It is also worthy of remark that, whilst Commander, then Lieutenant Nicolls, was engaged at the great guns during the time of action, his brother, Colonel Edwaid, was frequently in the same ship, commanding the marines. Seldom, if ever, has a similar circumstance occurred in the ser vice ; yet, strange to say, that notwithstanding all their services, those brave officers have been compara tively unrewarded. Also, Lieutenant Hugh - Montgomery Nicolls, Royal African Corps, son of Commander Nicolls, served several years in Africa, at Fernando Po, Sierra Leone, &c., and died on his passage, with his detach ment, to the Gambia, on the 25th December, 1837 was the youngest surviving son of Captain Jonathan Nicolls, R.N. The late Lieutenant and Commander Edward Nicolls, of her Majesty's ship Dwarf, was eldest son of Colonel E. Nicolls, R.M.—was drowned off Tar bert, river Shannon, Ireland, while striving to save" the life of a fellow creature in.danger, in a yacht, the property of the Knight of Glin, in March,xlB44. Lieutenant Richard T. T. Nicolls, second son of the above Colonel E. Nicolls, is now in India, in the East India Company's service,_ IMPORTANT TO FARMERS AND PARISH PINDARS. A decision of the magistrates at the Lutterworth Petty Sessions has completely upset the long established custom of the neighbourhood as to the fees to which a pindar is entitled on impounding above one head of cattle. For many years it was con sidered that the pindar was entitled to 4d. as his fee beyond any damage that might be charged for every head of cattle impounded at one time ; but in the following case it was proved to the satisfaction of the magistrates that such usage is illegal, and that the pindar is entitled to 4d. only for each distress taken at the same time, without reference to the number of cattle impounded, be they two or twenty. Hence it follows that if a pindar find twenty head of cattle straying, and impound them at the same time, his fee will be no more for the twenty than if he had im pounded only one of that number ; thus instead of re ceiving his fee of 6s. Bd. for the twenty, which under the custom he would have received,- he will only be entitled to 4d. for the whole.. The complainant in the case referred to was William Pickering, of Frolesworth,. whose cows had strayed out of a lane in that parish rented by him, into the adjacent township of Ullesthorpe, and were there impounded -by John Hurst, the pindar, who was charged by the complainant with having taken a larger sum for such impounding than he was by law entitled to take. The pindar had charged 4d. per head, which he stated was his usual fee. It was con tended by Mr. Cowdell, jun., of Hinckley, that the usage of the neighbourhood was illegal, for that, by the statute 1 and 2 Philip and Mary, c. 12, sec. 2 (still unrepealed), it is enacted " that no person shall take for impounding any manner of distress above the sum of 4d. for any one whole distress, and where less bath been used there to take less, upon the pain of 51. to be paid to the party aggrieved over and above such money as he shall take above the sum of 4d., any usage or pre scription to the contrary notwithstanding." The magistrates considered themselves bound to decide in conformity with the provisions of the statute ; but as the pindar had acted in accordance with the usage of the neighbourhood, which for a long time hitherto had been recognised, they directed him to return to the complainant the amount paid beyond the 4d., and to pay the costs.

" The Castor's guns were thirty-six, Not one of them a quaker ; The Castor's men they fought like bricks— And so we took John Acre." Our French neighbours manage things differently. Nothing will serve them —apropos of this last proof of what was already indubitable —namely, that semi barbarous courage cannot withstand courage, tactics, and discipline—nothing will serve them but chorussing with immense enthusiasm that opera-song of theirs which sets forth that Englishmen never shall reign in France ! I i`Jamais en France, Jamais l'Anglais ne reg nera The French bully Morocco, and thereupon sing " The English shall not reign in France !' There may be more of logical sequence than we can trace in these facts and deductions. 'We can only say that we think such sallies very silly, and very undignified. So, we are satisfied, the whole reflecting portion of the French public must think them. The English never shall reign in France I As if the English, these three centuries, had ever shown the slightest ambition to reign in France ! As if the English had ever engaged in such schemes of empire as Louis XIV., who took the House of Stuart into pay—and had his purchase sent home to him accordingly. As if the English had ever indulged in such day-dreams about remodelling the Rue Vivienne or its passages as Na poleon favoured us by doing about the Strand, which he magnificently meant to have greatly widened for us—a feat we have in some meas u r e ma naged to achieve without him. The external greatness of England in modern times has arisen from no policy of external domination. Her mer cantile and colonial enterprises have required sup port and protection ; and she has given them. Eng land has not begun by conquest, in order to found new empires; but conquests have been forced upon her—factories have become empires against her will. Europe knows well, or ought to know well, that it has no inroads to fear from England. Does it know as much as regards France ? Do not our spirited neighbours indulge in remembrances of conquest and domination, which England has not indulged in these three centuries ? Is there not something ludicrous in reviving recollections of English rule in France; when that which is fresh in all Europe's memory, and in her own, is the European empire of France ? But there is nothing sincere in this stanza; except the vulgar ill-feeling of it. It is not that England wants to rule in France, or that the worst-informed Parisian even thinks so—but that England does not want France to threaten her and others in the safety of their dominions. The policy of England is that of European independence and peaceful commerce. Is that the policy dictated by the present war party in France ? The National, for instance, is calling out loudest for war with England. Not very tong back, the National declared that its . ' patterns of foreign policy were Louis X.W.—and the Committee of Public Safety. The juxta-posi tion of these names was a sufficient proof of the real nature of that liberty which revived Jacobin republicanism really means; when it uses the word. It is not the liberty to do as they please : that is 'a mere English shopkeeping doctrine. It is the liberty to m a k e every one e l se d o as they please—tne doctrine f o ll owe d ou t a lik e by Louis XIV., and the C omm i ttee of Public Safety. Th e Times dismisses as f o l lows (without ment i on i ng ) the supposition th a t our Government had inter f ere d with French occ upat i on at Mogadore admitted that a legitimate cause of war exists between these two independent States, it would be puerile in us to cavil at every incident which may take place in the course of hostilities. Our business is simply to take care that the cause of the war is not converted into a cause of aggrandisement, and that the issue of the contest be not such as to infringe upon our own national interests, and on the balance of power." Cer tainly it is our business to put salt on the bird's tail ; for then we shall catch it. Sir John B. Pechell, Bart., continues seriously in• disposed at his residence in Hill-street, and the Hon Lady Pechell is also in delicate health. FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE NEAR REGENT..STREET.— A few minutes after five on Friday evening a fire broke out in the upper floor of the house numbered 5, in Hed don-street, Leicester-street, Regent-street, which is let out to several parties in tenements ; the floor in question being occupied by Mr. Smallman, whose child, an inter esting female four years of age, lost her life under the following melancholy circumstances :—lt appears that her mother had left the room only a few minutes before, for the purpose of procuring some milk for the use of the family, leaving the child alone in the room. From some unexplained cause, most probably from the ignition of her clothing at the fire which was burning at the time in the grate, the poor little creature was in an instant enveloped in Limes. Perceiving dense bodies of smoke and fire issuing. from the windows of the floor, some of the neighbours concluded that the furniture or bedding was on fire, and instant information was sent of the cir cumstance to Mr. Fogo, of the brigade, who very promptly attended with the engine, from King-street ; upon entering the room a most deplorable sight pre sented itself. The poor child was lying upon the floor, just behind the door, between the foot of the bed and the entrance into the room, burning most dreadfully, while the door, the bedding, and other articles of furniture were in a flame. At this moment the mother of the child, with an infant in her arms, rushed up the stairs, crying out most frantically " Save my child." Mr. Fogo instantly had the suffering infant taken up, but the flesh, blackened by the process of combustion, came off piece. meal from the body. An abundance of assistance having arrived, several brigade and other engines being now upon the spot, the fire was soon extinguished, but before this was effected the little sufferer had ceased to breathe. The parties are not insured. INCENDIARISM AT PILLERTON.—an Friday night last some daring villains set fire to a qalatitity l' wheat in shock, in a field in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Walton, of Pillerton Priors, near Kineton. It was first discovered about ten o ' c l oc k in the evening, by some of the servants of Mr. Miles of Pillerton, who were about retiring to rest, and observing a considerable quantity of smoke issuing from Mr. Walton's field, they proceeded to the spot as fu as possible, and found ab ou t 100 g sheaves of wheat leaped together and burning ; they immediately alarmeid Mr. Walton, and an active search was made for the perpetrators of the diabolical act, but, we are sorry to add, without effect. Mr. Walton is insured in the Norwich Union office. A reward of twelve guineas is offered for their apprehension.— Banbury Guardian. THE CHRISTENING OF THE INFANT PRINCE.— Among the royal and distinguished personages who have received invitations to he present at Windsor Cas tle, at the christening of the infant Prince, we may enu merate the following :—Her Majesty the Queen Dow ager, his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Prussia, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Earl and Countess Delawarr and Lady Mary West, the Earl of Liverpool; the Earl and Countess of Jersey, his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Right Hon.

Amongst the dignitaries of the Church who are expected to be present, are the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Lincoln, the Bishop of Norwich (Clerk of the Closet), Archdeacon Wilberforce, &c. The Hon. and Rev. C. L. Courtenay will also be present. FRIGHTFUL SCAFFOLD A CCIDENT.—ShortIy be fore six o'clock oa Wednesday evening considerable alarm was created in the neighbourhood of the Chalk road, Pentonville, by the falling of a scaffolding with several workmen, which had been axed in front of some buildings in the course of erection near the New Model Prison. It appears that six or seven of the workmen in the employ of Messrs. Dennis and Price, the contractors, were at work on the top of the scaffolding, a height of about thirty feet, when suddenly the putlocks, and consequently the entire body of the scaffold, gave way, and the whole of the men were precipitated to the ground. The escape of most of them was indeed miraculous. With the exception of a poor fellow named Joseph Berry, who had his collar bone dislocated, and other severe injuries inflicted on him, the others were comparatively unhurt. Berry, however, was conveyed in a very bad state to the Royal Free Hospital, in Gray's Inn-road, where he was promptly attended to by Mr Hill, the resident surgeon. The other workmen were shortly after enabled to go home to their respective residences. It appears that considerable blame is attri butable to those who have the construction of these scaffolds. bleineirn.tehured inprtnhaedi pub a l n is d hed T (F H ro E in the N"aBpEiersvery H to e th s r : e y e as l a c i called our special attenVatiEonNto a N no i th C er ° f seven L family iI S y .' f We recently h and Military Gazette.) an article relative to - the " Three Napiers," correspondent in Dublin has justly, if the honoured had reason to be proud of herselfgm gal lantievmother h n g e m r o f the having sons, sprungand her rs soil, felt r _ought she to be who claims how much more of cofficers, distinguished for their ; andhem for their wounds, in their bravery,t he m at e rennidtyof many that kingdom, how much greater honour Sovereign's service lay claim to, who That pride justly belongs n b , le or and have fostered such sons? t m o ay th t e ha v t en t e o ra w respected head of the Nicolls' raine. questionably attaches to Cole- Mrs. Nicolls, now nearly sister of the late General- William y ears o f age , i s Royal Artillery.

As an officer he was universally esteemed and be loved by all with whom he w as professionally con nected. In him the soldier had a warm and persever ing friend and advocate. George Cuppage Nicolls, third son of Mrs. Georgians Nicolls, of Coleraine, joined the Royal Navy, on board her Majesty's ship Nas sau , as a mid shipman, in 1795, commanded by Captain Thomas Bertie, who being, after due course , app o i nted to her e Majesty's ship Ardent, took him with him , and,while r serving in that ship, was killed bytn ear ring a fall from the mizentop-sailyard-arm, in the act o putting a ring in the sail, off the Texel (while on her Majesty's service, 1798). Lieutenant Abraham Nicolls, fourth son, served as lieutenant in the Royal Marines, also as ensi gn in the West India Rangers, and latterly in her Majesty's 38th Regiment, as lieutenant. Having lost his health while serving in the West Indies, he returned inva lided to Europe, and died 18th May, 1810, at Coleraine.

" Brother Talfourd," said the Judge, " re member the grand jury are not discharged."—(Laugh ter.) " Really, my Lord," rejoined the Sergeant, " I have not yet seen the lady, and have no wish, I assure you, to violate the ninth commandment."—(Renewed laughter.) " The tenth, I suppose, you mean, brother Talfourd ?"—(Laughter.) " Yes, nay Lord," said the Learned Counsel ; " and since I have forgotten my mo rality and the commandments too, I think I bad better sit down." SHERWOOD'S EXECUTIONER.—The hangman Mur dock, who was paid 91. for the job, took his departure for Glasgow, on foot, on Friday evening, and, it is said, paid 6s. to one of the police to accompany him on the road as far as the Six-mile-bridge. Murdock executed the Prussian mate at Durham a few years ago, and he also " turned off" the notorious Burke, at Edinburgh.— Tyne Mercury.

This name is well adapted for the pretty little cap to which it is given, being an assemblage of laces and gauze ribbons, so prettily chiffones, and so coquettishly blended, being put on also a little on one side, sufficient to allow of the straight lappet of lace to fall upon the shoulders. CARRIAGE DRESSES.—Barege is still patronised by our elegantes, either shaded in different colours or plain. Those, however, which are most in favour are either broche, or printed in the most beautiful and rich designs ; when they are of a plain colour, the trimmings are festonnees, and embroidered in different colours ; for instance, white, embroidered with orange coloured silk, ponceau upon ponceau, and black upon grey, the latter being intended for mourning. The corsages are made high and open up the front, and instead of the lacings which have lately been so fashionable, we see narrow straps or bands, em. broidered to match the trimmings of the dress. Light printed muslins are also in great request—in fact they are by some preferred to the barege, par ticularly for the country. EVENING DRESSES. Flounces are now more adopted than ever: they are put on in various ways, according to the taste of the wearer, some being put on straight, and others in a kind of wave ; they vary also in width and number ; the corsages opening en cceur, with revers chales, sleeves a la Venitienne, with under sleeves of fulled clear muslin, trimmed with an inlet twisted en spirale. CHILD MURDER AT HARRINGTON, WILTS.—The inhabitants of the quiet little village of Hannington were much excited and horrified, on Tuesday last, by a re port that a servant of Mr. Ambrose Willis had murdered her newly-born infant. Upon inquiry it was discovered to be too true. An inquest was held yesterday by Mr. Whitmarsh, before a jury summoned from Highworth and llannington, when, after several hours' inquiry, a verdict of " Wilful murder" was returned against Sarah Willis. The mother stands committed to Devizes New Prison, and will be removed there as soon as the sur geon considers it can be done with safety.— Wiltshire Independent. SUNDAY TRADING.-Mr. William Grant, the prin cipal news-agent of Brighton, appeared before Major Allen, on Thursday, to answer a charge made against him by Mr. George Chittenden, the high-constable, of having on the previous Sunday unlawfully exercised his business on the Lord's day, whereby he had in curred a penalty of 55., under a statute of Charles 11. Mr. Grant requested the bench to grant an adjournment till Monday, on account of the absence of his solicitor, but the high-constable having stated that that day would be inconvenient to him, Major Allen ordered the case to proCeed. Mr. Grant then pleaded guilty, and Major Allen imposed the penalty of 55., with costs 10s., which Mr. Grant at once paid. The Gallant Major at the same time stated that the proceedings had been taken in consequence of the numerous complaints of the inhabitants of the desecration of the Sabbath, which had now become a crying evil. News-agents and cigar dealers appear to be the parties against whom the high constable and churchwardens are waging the war, of which Mr. Grant has received the first shot. W hile the passenger traffic has been increasing on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, the Forth and Clyde Canal Company's swift boats have also been car rying immense numbers. It is stated that for the month of July alone the number carried in these boats was 19,000, one-third of whom went the whole distance. — Glasgow Chronicle. _ _ F ETE IN THE GARDENS AND GROUNDS OF MOUNT EDGCUMBE.—This fete, including a bazaar, came off on Thursday and Friday, the 22d and 23d inst., and we are happy to say that the whole sum derived from all sources was 1,2341., which will be applied in aid of the funds of the Devon and Cornwall Female Orphan Asylum, and those of the South Devon and East Cornwall Hospital. BRIGHTON LEWES, AND HASTINGi RAILWAY.— The works of the branch railway to Lewes and Hastings will be very shortly commenced. That portion of it from Lewes to Hastings, which presents few or no diffi culties, will be first finished—it is expected in ten months. In many spots, where the line runs along the beach, it is already made, and nothing has to be done but to put down the sleepers. The works between Brighton and Lewes, and fora few miles beyond Lewes, are of a different character, and will require a period of 18 months to be completed. In the first place the line starts from Brighton with a viaduct, which springs in a north-easterly direction from the present viaduct at New England, goes at the back of the Dairy, crosses the London road just above the Hare and Hounds, and terminates in Mr. Stanford's field beyond, where a short tunnel of about 200 yards commences, which goes under the Ditchling-road between Mr. Col batch's and Mr. Wright's houses, and comes to the Dog kennel. Here the line skirts the hill at the back of the Horse•barracks. passes through the rick-yard at Mouls combe, and continues along the west side of the Lewes road for about a mile, when, in order to avoid Stanmer Park, it crosses the Lewes-road by a bridge, and runs along the eastern side of the road till it reaches the bottom of Falmer-bill, when it again crosses to the opposite side, and the second tunnel is commenced. This is carried under Falmer, and will be about half a mile in length. The line continues to skirt the western side of the turnpike-road till the third tunnel, which will be about 200 yards, and occurs at the hill before entering Lewes. Here the turn pike-road is again traversed, and the railway is carried down to Southover, and so on to Lewes. It is not yet determined where the terminus shall be in that town. It is wished to avoid the necessity of a small branch line to the bridge, as at first proposed, which would be at tended with considerable inconvenience to the traffic, and to have only one main line from Brighton to Hastings. Beyond Lewes the river is crossed to the east of the town, and here some heavy embankments will be necessary till the hill which bounds the valley is reached, when a cutting to the extent of 40 feet will be made, and after this the line runs along the coast to Hastings at almost a dead level. Mr. Withes, who executed a con siderable porton of the London and Brighton railway, has taken the whole contract from Brighton to Hastings. The tunnel under the Ditchling-road will be remark able by a strong curve—to a degree that is not presented by any tunnel yet constructed.—Brighton Herald. LONGEVITY.—Died, a few days since, in Killarney, a cat and parrot, belonging to Mr. John M‘Sheehy, New-street, both at the advanced age of 86 years. The cat and parrot had been given to him by the late Sir Aubrey De Vere Hunt, of Curragh House, county of Limericks—Dublin Packet. STATE OF TRADE. ---- FOREIGN W OOL T RADE, LEEDS,— AUGUST 30. Thtre has been a rather larger amount of business transacted on foreign wools this week than during the fortnight preceding, but in prices we have not dis cerned any variation. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, AuGusr 30. We have not any alteration to report in this market this week. The manufacturers are all fully em ployed, but buy cautiously. Prices are firm and sta tionary. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, AUGUST 30.—There is no new feature in either the long or short wool market; prices are quite stationary, and although sales are not extensive, better hopes are excited by the splendid weather for harvest operations that has set in since our last week's report. LEEDS.—There has this week been quite as brisk demand for goods at our cloth-halls as of late ; the principal articles are shawls; fancy cloakings, heavy tweeds, and pilot cloths for winter demand. The supply continues to be very limited, and considerably more business would be done if there was more choice in the market. Prices continue steady. There has been a considerable number of wholesale buyers in the town during the week, and, in consequence, business has been brisk in the warehouses. lIECKMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET, AUG. 29. This market continues in the same state as last week. On Monday there was a fair attendance of merchants and manufacturers, but to-day not so good : few samples, and little inclination on the part of either to do business. The manufacturers are looking for an advance, on account of the present price of wool. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—There is a fair demand for most piece goods suitable for the autumn, and the prices firm. Yarns are in steady request, and prices stationary. There is only a very limited business doing in combing wools, the market well supplied, and the buyers evidently only take what is required for immediate use. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had much less doing in grey cloth this week, and since Tuesday the heaviness has been on the increase ; still a large business is doing. No one seems disposed to purchase on China account till the next advices come to hand ; and as this will probably be the case before Tuesday next, we shall then have some certain indication of what may be expected for the remainder of the autumn, so far as the India and China markets are concerned. The dyers and printers are very busy—a good sign of a brisk home trade. Domestics are still in fair demand, at previous rates. Yarns are shipping to a great extent, but there is no real change in value.— Leeds Mercury. ANOTIIER ATTEMPT AT EXPLOSlON.—Yesterday morning, about half-past two o'clock, a man named Jo seph Almond, a penknife grinder, residing in Sidney street, was awoke from his sleep by the breaking of a window in the bedroom underneath that in which he was sleeping. He directly jumped out of bed, and ran to the room where he heard the noise. He there found a gin ger-beer bottle, commonly called a pop-bottle, with a burning fuse inserted in the cork. This he succeeded in putting out without injury, and in going to the window saw three men in the street below. He forthwith sallied into the street, and collared one of the three ; upon which the other men attacked him and rescued their companion. The three then ran away, and succeeded in effecting their escape. Two of them were in the course of the day captured by the police. On examination of the bottle it was found to be filled with gunpowder. It is said that Almond, who is a hard-working man, had left the union to which he belonged, that he might be enabled to obtain a living uneontrolled by union regula tions. He had reason to know that his conduct had given offence, and under the apprehension of danger, his wife had been afraid to sleep at home for four nights previous to the attempted explosion. The prisoners are charged with the capital off e nce of wilfully and mali ciously throwing a bottle of gunpowder into the window of Joseph Almond's house, for the purpose of destroying his life and property. The case excites intense interest, being the first in which these Guy Fauxes have ever stood a chance of being made to answer for these crimes. —Sheffield Iris. A NON-RESIDENT CLERGYMAN. — The Rev. Mr. muck, the rector of Walsoken, Norfolk, has been con demned by the Consistory Court , at Norwich, to forfeit one-third part of the annual value of his benefice, and costs, by reason of non-residence, without leave, for three mouths.—Doneaeter Gazette. ' CULINARY LEGERDEMAIN. 1 ARIEL DISH. (FRO 31 A CORRE SPONDENT.) On Thursday last, a party of culinary artists met at the magnificent hotel of Signor Dotesio, at Slough. The object of this meeting was that six of them should each produce a new dish. Amongst the number present were her Majesty's two principal chefs de cuisine, the Dowager Baroness Rothschild's and the head cook belonging to that establishment, with two others. The table was laid for twelve—six competitors, and six to judge the result of this beneficial public innovation. The challenge was that the one whe produced the newest, lightest, and most delicate dish, was to be presented with a piece of plate ; the judges not to know the authors of the respective dishes until after the degustation and decision. After an excellent course of soup and fish, five dishes were placed upon the table, four of which met with the great est approbation from the severe jury. But a general clamour was raised for the sixth, when in walked the worthy host with an excellent dish, labelled " La Crous - tade Sylphe en surprise a la Cerito," and upon the lid being removed by the chairman, to the astonishment of every one present, out flew a beautiful pigeon, which immediately found its way to the terrace; and took its departure for London. The party, however astonished, were not disappointed, for upon removing a false bottom, an ample supply of " Se.iade de filets de grouse la Roliimienne" seas discovei-ed, and beneath that some artificial cotelettes and trAishrooms were sweetly resting on a " creme aux p 'Catles." The author of curious dish made a wager a few days previous t'oat he would send part of a dish Of his oon compo - ,ition from Slough to London, in a manner which, fo r speed, should only be exceeded by the electric telegi-agh ; consequently, at the moment the dish was Paced upon the table, it was announced by telegraph to the parties in London, and in fourteen minutes afterwards they received the principal part of this atmospheric dish at the spot appointed by the author, with a paper under its wing, upon which was written, " Please to pay the chef de cuisine of the Reform Club the sum' of 501., for my private apartment in his new dish, and make the ehecque payable to A. Soyer." DISASTROUS FIRE AT HULL. On Wednesday morning last, at ten minutes past eight o'clock, a fire broke out in Messrs. S. T. Hassell and Co.'s warehouse, Blayde's-staith, High-street, which in the course of a few hours destroyed property to the amount of 10,000/. The premises of Messrs. Hassell are situated at the corner of Blayde's-staith and the river Hull, and had a frontage of about fifty feet towards the river, and one hundred feet towards the staithway. They consisted of extremely substantial buildings, occupying three floors and an attic ; there were three warehouses adjoining each other, commencing from the river, and bounded by another substantial building, the ground floor of which was occupied by the firm as offices, and the upper rooms used in their business as merchants and warehousemen. The frontage towards the river was entirely of wood. It appears from inquiries since made, that men had been at work in the warehouses in the morning up to eight o'clock, and at that hour one of them passed through the room which in a few minutes afterwards was one mass of flame, but in which he then perceived neither sight nor smell of fire. At ten minutes past eight, the flames burst forth towards the river and to wards Blayde's-staith, with such a vivid glare, and spread so rapidly, that the whole neighbourhood was immedi ately upon the alert. An alarm was given, the authori ties of the town were warned, and in a few minutes effi cient assistance of almost every description was upoa the spot. The fire originated in the highest room of the ware house, with the exception of the attic. It was full of flax. The whole of the warehouses were as full as they could hold of hemp, flax, corn, s4l 4 c ., the inflammable nature of which, and the firs old which the fire had got before any assistance could be rendered, baffled, for a short time, the attempts to arrest it, particularly as it had taken hold of the roof, by means of which it set fire to the second warehouse. The attention of the firemen was early directed tolprevent the extension of the fire in that direction, and also to preserve the ad joining warehouses on the south, the property of the Rev. John King, which cover probably six times as much ground as those occupied by Messrs. Hassell. In the latter attempt, aided by a slight wind from the S.E., they were completely successful. The roof of the first warehouse fell in a few minutes before nine o'clock; at seventeen minutes past nine o'clock a circumstance occurred whickaittly aided the operations of the fire men, although. Viiumber of them had to run for their lives. About trty-six feet in length and forty feet in, height of a brieK-and-a-half wall,,facing Blayde's-staith„ and forming the greater part of the boundary of the first and a portion of the second warehouse, fell down into the staithway. A number of men were under the wall when it began to fall, but most happily every one of them es caped. All danger of the fire spreading beyond the warehouse in which it originated, and the one adjoining it, was over before half -past ten o'clock. We are happy to state that the buildings were in sured, and nearly all the warehoused goods are under stood to be so. The origin of the fire is not certain. Many incline to the opinion that spontaneous combustion took place among the flax • but others, a mong w h om is Mr. assell, think it probable H that some sparks had flown from the chimney of a steam-tug which passed th e warehouse shortly befo re th e fire broke - out, and had alighted on, the flax. The property is partly insured in the Sun and partly in the Phoenix Fire-offices.—Hull Advertiser. PHOSPHORUS. --Until the last ten years this sub stance was prepared but in very small quantities, and used merely fur experimental purposes. It is now im ported to the extent of about two hundred thousand pounds per annum, besides the quantity manufactured in this country, being used to this extent in the fabrication of Congreve matches and instantaneons lights. METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS REGULATION ACT... Yesterday (Sunday) was the day on which the Metropolitan Buildings Act, for regulating the construc tion and the use of buildings in the metropolis and its neighbourhood came into operation, as far as rt.• lates to the appointment of districts and the nomination of officers (the other portions of the statute coming into operation the first day of next year). The enactments, however, that now com mence t h e i r operation, provide that the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London, and Jus tices of the Peace in Quarter Sessions for other parts, may appoint the districts, and nominate surveyors for such dis tricts, the qualifications of which surveyors are to be ascertained by examiners appointed by Commissioners of Works, &c. The certificate of examination is to be produced by candidates one week before election. These surveyors are to hold office during pleasure, but are not to act as justices in their districts. The present surveyors are to be continued in office subject to the Act. Deputy surveyors can be appointed in cases of illness, &c. ; and assistant surveyors nominated, if any districts appear to the official referee too large. Official referees are also to be appointed, but never to act as surveyors. They are, among other powers, to act as arbitrators, and their award is to be binding on all parties and bodies. Their salary, and that of the re gistrar of metropolitan buildings (who is to be nominat ed by the Commissioners of Works and Buildings), is not to exceed 1,0001. per annum. This registrar is to have the custody and inspection of the records of the official referees ; and the Commissioners are to appoint a place of business for him. The surveyors are to be paid by fees, which are determined by the Act. Such are the chief outlines of those provisions of the Act that now come into operation. Those portions that re late "to the buildings, streets, and other matters," do not operate until the Ist of January, 1845. FIGHTING A TTOICNEY - GENERALS.—Just at the time the fighting mania of the Attorney General for Ireland had exhibited itself in the Four Courts, his brother Attorney-General for Van Diemen's Land, Mr. Walsh, was so rabid as to fight two duels in one week, as ap pears from the following account copied from the Hobart Town Courier of the 24th of March last :—" In the course of the week two duels have been fought—the first between T. W—, Esq., and R. S—, Esq. ; and the second between T. W—, Esq., and T. Esq. In both cases the disputes which led to the appeal to arms were quite of a personal character." In the same paper there is also an advertisement signed J. E. Bich eno , which was as follows :—" By his Excellency the Go vernor's command, Thomas Horne, Esq., is appointed Attorney-General of the Colony of Van Diemen's Land until the Queen's pleasure be known." So much for jus tice to Ireland. Mr. Smith still retains his position, while Mr. Walsh is dismissed.

ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL G ARD:NS.—The lovers of music will have a rich treat at these gardens this week. Mr. Godfrey, the eminent director of music, and leader of the band, has been , for some weeks preparing and arranging Beethov ~e n s celebrated Battle Sinfonia, descriptive of an engagement between the English and French armies (accompanied with discharges of artiller • Sec.), which wille brought o t thi d discharges ' h •31. u s ay wit an in creased orchestrad h g an t e most attractive selections of the season. HEART BURIAL. —During the rebuilding of part of the church of Chatham, in Kent, in 1788, there was found in one of the vaults a leaden pot, containing, =- cording to inscription, the heart of a woman one Hester Harris. Th e pot appeared to have been nailed up to the side of the vault, there being a piece of lead soldered on for that purpose. THE SPOILS OF THE MOORISH WAR.—The famous parasol, belonging to the son of the Emperor of Morocco, which was taken at the battle of Isly, had, through a. singular chance, been manufactured in Paris, by a mercer of Rue St. Denis, for a house of Marseilles, which has extensive commercial dealings with Morocco. Three years ago that house sent it as a present to the Emperor, it being the custom to make such gifts to the African • sovereigns to secure their good graces. It is entirely lined with green velvet, embroidered with arabesques„ and edged with a long gold fringe. This beautiful piece of workmanship cost I,Boof.—Presse. SHEFFIELD AND MANCHESTER RAILWAT.—This line is now opened to Woodhead, a distance of about 19 miles from Manchester. We understand that General Pasley's report was highly commendatory of the con struction and condition of the works. The other part. of the line are proceeding very satisfactorily. There is a rumour that the Leeds Company are about to purchase the line.—Railway Record. •-s, • - ; .11. , • 4. i. 1 318. SISA O a 1 . , O tt° C' -ight°ll ?•=fil ~`
