The Annual d e neral Meeting was then held, and the fo l lo win g Re- Port from the Directors was read by the Manager : F OURTH REPORT of the DIRECTORS of the COMMERCIAL BANK of LONDON. Jhe Directors, in conformity with the Dee d of Settlement, submit t 0 the Shareholders their Fourth Annual Sta tement, on reference to , ,'"deh it will he seen that the position and prosp ects of the Bank con .wale to improve. After,_ paying all the current expenses , and m akin g p rovision for ' 44 and doubtful debts, the net profits of the Bank for the past year amount to 6,303/. 7s. I Id. f The Directors have therefore decided upon declaring a Dividend ~, lye per Cent. (free of Income-tax), leaving a balance of 2,303/. 7s. bills, part of which-will be required for rebate of interest on current . - ','lls, and the remainder is proposed to be placed to the credit of the uttarantee Fund. The Banking-house in Moorgate - street havi n g been found inconve lii ehtlY small and quite inadequate for t he transaction of the busi ness of the Company, now ill the course of daily extension, the Di ggers have taken new premises in Lothbury, to which they intend s hortly to remove. shares Directors are confident that the change in the amount o f the '.ares from 1,0001. each to 1001. each, will be the means of greatly 'Pending the connexions pf the bank, and thus prove highly con leive to the interests of the proprietors, whilst the removal of many of restrictions which have hitherto impeded the operations of 'lnt-stock banks in London, and the power conceded under the New Bank Charter of accepting bills at a less date than six months, will !table the Directors to undertake much valuable business from which t hey have hitherto been excluded. 4, In accordance with the provisions of the Dee d of Settlement, the ` 3,l owing Directors, viz., Edward Stillingfleet Cayley, Esq., M.P., C harles Weld, Esq., Thomas Barnewal, Esq., Jonathan Hopkinson , Esq., retire from office, and, being eligible, they offer themselves for r e - election.

EDWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita tors have made candles, an ndd called them by the name " Composite," used by Edward Price a Co. ; but the process by which the real Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co. granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their burning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, and their affording, so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of most of the respectable ta ll ow -chancUers throughout ice akn the ingdo Co. m, and are supplied to the tra de wholesale by Edward Pr, Bel mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell. • LAIR'S GOUT and RHEU.NIATIC PILLS.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SO CIETY OF ENGLAND. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY EVENING. —The proceedings of the Society at this place commenced this morning with the exhibition of implements, the number of which was greater than on any former occasion. The present exhibition is not, however, so much distinguished for novelty, in this respect, as for the decided improvements which have been made on former inventions. This being the case, it might perhaps be invidious to particularise ; and we shall, therefore, content ourselves with subjoining a list of the prizes, and proceed at once to describe the trial of the implements, which was de cidedly the most interesting feature in the day's proceedings. We should, however, premise that, although not yet so full as had been expected, there have been many distinguished arrivals at Southampton. The Duke of Cambridge will ar rive to-morrow, and be received by the Mayor and Corpora tion with all the honours due to a Prince of the Blood Royal. The Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Beaufort, the Marquis Conyngham, Earl Ducie, Earl Spencer, Lord and Lady Palmerston, and a number of other fashionables arrived this morning, but the great influx of company is expected to-morrow, when I will send you a more specific account of the arrivals. EXHIBITION OF THE WORKING OF THE IMPLEMENTS. This was the most interesting portion of the day's pro ceeding, and attracted universal attention. The time fixed for the public trial of the agricultural implements to take place was twelve o'clock. For some hours previous to that time the road leading from Southampton to the trial ground was thronged with vehicles of every description, conveying the interested and curious to the appointed place, distant about four miles from Southampton, on the farm of Mr. C. Cater, at Swathling. Many thousand persons were on the ground, consisting of the agricultuTista of Hampshire and the adjoining counties, as well as of nuMbers from the extreme western counties. The Queen, Brunswick, and two other steamers arrived in the morning from Plymouth and Corn wall, full of passengers. All the steamers from the Isle of Wight were also full, notwithstanding many persons were prevented from coming in consequence of the races. Among the parties on the ground we noticed most of the noblemen and gentlemen whose names we have already given, and the landed proprietors - of the county. The test trials to deter mine the merits of the several implements took place yester day and Saturday, but were strictly private, the public not being allowed to approach nearer than the outside of the fields in which the implements were tried. These trials were conducted with great care and fairness, and even the exhibi tions of the various implements were confined to the attend ance upon their own implements, and were not allowed to inspect the working of the others. The judges were Messrs. Outhwaite, of Cathrick, York shire, and another gentleman, who conducted the proceedings most impartially, and in a manner which gave general satis faction. The implements' selected for the public exhibition of their working, were those previously selected for compe tition before the judges in the private trials, which had occu pied the two previous days—those adapted for light land, at Mr. Cater's farm, at Swathling; and those adapted for heavy land, at Mr. Spooner's, at Eling. The field selected for the public trial to-day is a level one of considerable extent, ad joining the railway, and is a clover ley. The ground was not in good order for working, in consequence of its being un usually hard from the long drought. Precisely,at twelve o'clock the ploughing match commenced. There were six teen ploughs started, among which were two specimens of American ploughs, presented by Professor Col. The con trast between the working of these transatlantic ploughs and the English ones was most striking, and was the most per fect practical refutation of the self-congratulating remarks of Daniel Webster, who, on his return from England, stated that he had not seen ally implements in England worthy of comparison with those of America. We particularly ex amined the work of these ploughs, and, compared with the level and accurate furrows made by the English plough, which appeared as though cut out by a plane, were coarse, rough, and irregular. The work of the competing plough, with the two excep tions we have alluded to, was generally good, especially so, considering the state of the soil. One of the ploughs was a new implement made by Messrs. J. R. and A. Ransome, of Ipswich, and was in consequence of having a moveable nose piece, which adjusted the pitch of the share either to take more or less hold of the ground or literally to give it an in clination more or less towards the land. This plough won the prize of 101. and a silver medal, in competing with the others as a heavy land plough ; and also won the prize of 101. and a silver medal, in its competition on the light land. Another of the ploughs was also a new instrument, by the same exhibitors, the peculiar feature of which is, that the mould board of this plough is adapted for turning furrows four and a half inches deep, and nine inches wide, so as to leave the angle of the furrow-slice precisely at forty five degrees. There was another and a strong plough, by the same exhibitors, fitted for deep ploughing in tenacious land. Mr. Lowcock's patent plough for laying furrows all in one direction, and which was awarded a prize o. 1. , was another of the competitors. An iron two-wheel pulverizing plough, invented by Wil liam Mason, constructed for a light soil with the mould board made to set wider or narrower as required, and pulverizing knives attached for breaking up old pas tures, stony soils, or land that required harrowing and '-bringing to a finer tilth, was one of the ploughs tried, and tie remaining others were A one-wheel or sowing plough, by Messrs. Tasker and Fowle, of Waterloo Iron-works, Andover, which may be used with or without the skim coulter. An iron sowing plough, by the Earl of Ducie, which oh taMed 51. at the Royal Agricultural Society's meeting at Bristol. A two-wheel wrought-iron plough, with patent coulter, by Messrs. Saunders, Williams, and Taylor, of Bedford , which is fitted for wheel or swing plough, and is worked by two or 'bur horses. A one-wheel plough, by Mr. Hugh Carson, of Warminster, suited for light lands. A patent iron plough for sand and other light land. It is made principally of wrought iron. An iron plough, trussed beam, and steel breast, invented by Ransome, and manufactured by Messrs. Sims and Brown, of Tollard Royal, Dorsetshire. A one- wheel plough, invented by the exhibitors, Messrs. Barratt, Exhall, and And rew s, of - Reading, which is filled with an open turn furrow for ploughing loamy and other ad hesive soils, as it breaks the lower part of the furrow, and thus admits the air. This plough is extremely light, and has very great ease of draught. Immediately after the termination of the ploughing match, the other implements, consisting of drills, harrows, clod crushers, and numerous other articles, were tried in an ad joining field, all of which seemed to excite general attention. Throughout the day the trains continued to bring in a great number of cattle for the show on Thursday, as the exhibition of stock will be the next great point of attraction.

The Earl of Mansfield gave a fete champetre, yesterday afternoon, at his Lordship's seat at Caen Wood, Hampstead, which was honoured by the presence of their Royal High nesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Duchess of Glou cester, and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and above seven hundred of the lead ing aristocracy. The preparations for the fete had been in progress during the whole of last week, for it was necessary that a spacious temporary structure, sufficiently large to accommodate the numerous circle invited, should be erected. The weather was most propitious, and crowds of respectably-dressed per sons congregated on the heath and at the lodge-gates, to witness the arrival of the severalmembers of the Royal Family and the noble visitors ; a strong body of the police being sta tioned at different points of the road to preserve order, and to remedy any confusion that might arise from the number of carriages which would, of necessity, collect in the immediate vicinity of the house. At half-past three the carriages began to set down com pany, and for two hours and a half there was a constant succession of arrivals. The equipages, generally, were very attractive ; those of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort. Earl' and Countess of Powis, Marchioness of Ailesbury, Earl and Countess of Beverley, Earl and Countess of Eldon, Countess Brownlow, Lord Foley, &c., demanding more espe cial mention. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, accom panied by the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and attended by Baron Knese beck, was first to arrive, the royal carriage entering the ap proach to the mansion at ten minutes past five, preceded by outriders in their scarlet liveries. The Earl of Mansfield was at the entrance to receive the royal guests as they alighted from the carriage, and the Dowager Countess of Mansfield had advanced to the lobby to greet the illustrious visitors as they arrived. The royal party were forthwith conducted through the suite of saloons to the library, where many of the leading company had met to offer their congratulations. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester came shortly after, her royal brother the Duke of Cambridge bearing her Royal Highness company. Lady Caroline Murray and the Hon. Captain. Liddell were in waiting on the Duchess. As those respected members of the Royal Family descended from their carriage, the Dowager Countess of Mansfield, having been timely informed of the royal approach, received them, the Duchess of Gloucester and her Ladyship exchanging an affec tionate salutation, when their Royal Highnesses were ushered to the library. The suite of drawing-rooms, with the music-room, com prising seven elegant apartments, were all opened for the re ception. The Duke of Wellington was among the visitors, the Noble and Gallant Duke arriving shortly after the Royal Family. As his Grace entered the lodge gates he was warmly cheered by the assemblage of persons mustered there from curiosity. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge, Duchess of Gloucester, and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, with the Earl of Mansfield and Dowager Countess of Mansfield, pre vious to dinner being announced, promenaded the terrace and went [through the flower gardens, all laid out in the pure English style, and with which the royal visitors were much gratified. The company dined at seven. There were at the table her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, who sat on the right of the Earl of Mansfield ; the Duchess of Cambridge sitting on the left of the noble host, with the Duke of 'Wel lington sitting on her Royal Highness's right hand ; ens-a-vis sat the Dowager Countess of Mansfield, with the Duke of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz. In addition we observed the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, his Excellency Baron Nieumann, Marquis of Salisbury, his Excellency M. Dedel, Marchioness of Ailesbury, Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, Marchioness of Londonderry, Earl and Countess of Jersey, Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, Earl Dela warr, Baroness Brunow, &c. Covers were laid for upwards of thirty. We now come to the grand feature of the fete, the enor mous marquee at the eastern extremity of the terrace lawn. It was a wonderful structure, about 150 feet long by 50 feet wide, the dome in the centre rising to the height of 50 feet. The interior was lined with scarlet and white draperies, fes tooned all round, confined by rosettes of the same colours. Suspended from the roof were some 60 chandeliers, which were of course lighted up at dusk, contributing to render the interior a gorgeous spectacle. The exterior was sur mounted by several minarets, from which floated banderols. It was boarded throughout, for it must be understood that it was - subsequently to be converted into a salon de dense , and three tables, extending the whole length of the marquee were arranged for the sumptuous fare. Above 600 persons sat down to dinner at the same time, so the magnitude of the marquee may be imagined. It was shortly before eight when the dinner party in the tent retired, and the grounds were promenaded by the ma jority of the visitors. At dusk the grounds were illuminated by more than 15,000 variegated lamps. The parterres of the flower gardens were bordered with coloured lamps, and in the trees various coloured lamps were suspended resem bling artificial fruit. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess retired about eight o'clock to go to the Italian Opera. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge and Duchess of Gloucester remained to a more advanced hour. There was a superb display of fireworks at nine o'clock on the verdant laWn, at the verge of the lake, which lasted nearly an hour. Dancing was kept up with untiring zeal until after midnizht. ed LONDON, EDINBURGH, and DUBLIN LIFE ASSURANCE, 3, Charlotte-row, Mansion-house, and 18, Chancery-lane, London.

Yesterday the Royal South London Floricultural Society held their second grand miscellaneous show at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, on which occasion the display of fruit, flowers, and vegetables was on a scale of unusual magnitude and excellence. There were numerous tents and extensive marquees arranged in various parts of these beautiful grounds, in which the splendid specimens offered for com petition were placed. No fewer than seventy-four prizes were offered and awarded, consisting of gold and silver medals, a silver cup, &c., in addition to various sums of money. These prizes were awarded early in the day, before the public were, admitted ; and the following are the names of the successful candidates :—The first class consisted of amateurs, members only ; and those who carded off prizes for the piccotees, carnations, heartsease, &c., were Messrs. Edmonds (gold, m edal), Procter, jun., G. .each, R. Headly, Trevers, jun., J. Hunt, W. Hall, J. Edwards, Schriider, F. B. Garty, and S. J. Cox, and the Rev. A. H. Matthews. The prizes to the second class (gentlemen's gardeners, entering in their own names), for flowers, fruit, and vegetables, were given to Messrs. Atlee (gold medal), Hemp, Hatterton, A. Parsons, J. Bruce, C. Embleton, Welsh, and Parsons. The third class consisted of specimens sent in by nurserymen, market gardeners, and florists, The gold medal was awarded to Mr. Jackson, and the various silver ones to Messrs. Fairbairn, Bushel, Jackson, Paul, Willmer, Norman, Bates, Keynes, Brown, Bersill, H. Chapman, J. Gains, and Flicker. Other prizes, open to all classes, were given to the Rev. A. H. Matthews and Messrs. Plant, Dan, Schroder, Bruce, Chuchill, Lyred, and Norman. The silver cup, value 5/. 55., offered by Mr. John Dickson, for the best twelve white-ground piccotees, dissimilar blooms, was won by Mr. Barnard; and the 5/. given by Mr. James Coppock, for the best collection of miscellaneous plants in the gardens, was awar ded to Mr. J. Bruce. Mr. Turner was the successful competitor for the Linnrean medal, for the best collection of cut indigenous plants in flower. The above enumeration will give an idea of the extent of the prizes bestowed under the auspices of this Society ; and many of the persons men tioned gained more than one medal, some several. The flower-show was allowed on every hand to equal all, and to surpais many former exhibitions, and the fruit was likewise remarkably fine. The vegetables, too, deserve high praise. There were some magnificent specimens, especially of cucum bers, some of which were of enormous size. The Duke of Cambridge, and the Prince of Mecklenburgh Strelitz visited the Gardens early in the morning, and were highly gratified witlrthe exhibition. The company was extremely numerous throughout the day, and towards evening the extensive grounds were completely thronged. The attraction was truly sufficiently powerful, for, in addition to the splendid exhibi tion of the day, and the usual promenade concerts, the colossal representation of London in the olden time, and the great fire thereof, there was displayed (for `ten first time) the beautiful and highly interesting model of ce, which is so well known, and has become so celebrated for its perfect and elaborate workmanship, which shows every palace, church, and even house, in that city of the waters. This great addi tional attraction to the Gardens will continue to be exhibi' throughout the season. The amusements were not concluded until a late h o ur of the evening. )er : I • NATIONAL PROVE No. 48, Gracechurch.streel on Lives, Annuities, &c.

Th • result of the division which took place in November, 1842. is exemplified in the following instances : A SINGLE MAN WITHOUT ENCUMBRANCE.--" Yes terday evening," says the Messager, " a person mounted into a hackney cabriolet stationed on the Boulevard St. Denis and shook the driver, by -the arm, who appeared to be asleep; but it was sootr discovered that he was dead. The Commissary of Police having arrived to ascertain the cause'pf the driver's death, it appeared that it was the result of apoplexy. This man had no family, and on examining his body, the, following inscription w.;s found tattoopd on his .'arm:—` John Joseph, a foundling, abandoned at the age of two years, on the Place de ilk tel de Ville in 1806.' John Joseph had no place of dwelling. Ire passed. twenty hours of the day in his cabriolet; and when he wished to rest he lay down in his master's' stable." • - The great composer Spohr has just terminated a visit- of a fortnight to Paris. The permission of his Sove teigh, the Eleetor of Cassel, was with great difficulty ob tained, and at last given at a time when all the concerts of Paris had ceased, but the leading professors, with M. Habeneck at their head, anxious to testify their respect for Spohr, re united the grand orchestra of the Conservatoire, and gave the pastoral symphony of Beethoven, with the lastsymphony written by Spohr himself, with the perfection for which that Orchestra is so highly celebrated all over Europe. No homage could be more ardent than that, paid by the musicians of Paris to Spar during thix 'gait* • - • [ADVERTISEMENT.] ANOTIIER EXTRAORDINARY PROOF OF TUE EFFICACY OF HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.— Mr. Stevens, a gentleman holding a highly responsible situation in an insurance-Office in the City, from over attention to business became so bilious, debilitated, and nervous, with palpitation of- heart, and with a dread on the mind of some approaching calamity, as to be ren dered for. some weeks quite incapable of attending to his duties.

Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, having been ap pointed by Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, for an inquest upon the persons who were so unfortunately drowned at Blackfriars-bridge, on the evening of Monday, the public of the Glaziers Arms, in Water-lane, was densely crowded long before the hour for commencing the pro ceedings. The Deputy Coroner, Mr. Joseph Payne, arrived pre cisely at the hour, and the jury having been sworn to examine into the circumstances attending the deaths of Benjamin Breadcott, aged four years, Mary Ann Bread cott, aged 14 years, Rhoda Breadcott, aged 14. Maria Bulstead, aged 23, and Aurelia Munday, aged 10 years, Mr. Greig was chosen foreman of the jury, and the first witne .s called in was Alfred Munday, to prove the last name on the list of sufferers. He stated that the deceased was his daughter, that her age was ten, and her Christian name was Aurelia. He last saw her alive on Sunday. He knew nothing of his own knowledge as to the cause or manner of her death. He lived in Printing-house lane, and kept the Lamb and Lark public-house. David Thomas was a labouring man, and lived ft the Glaziers' Arms. He was down on the lower part of the pier at the time the accident occurred. He was there proceeding to clear away the large masses of people who had congregated on the stairs. A steamer was coming up. On the " dumb lighter" there were about fifty persons, who had been repeatedly asked to go away, but would not. There was a rowing match on the river, and all were anxious to witness it. Some of the child ren there ran up from the " dumb lighter" on to the steps, and then the " bridge" went down. He did not see the deceased child Munday. He did see a lady and gentleman in the water, and rescued them. The gentle man was a foreigner. About twenty or more went into the water in addition to those who were lost. The people were not on the pier by consent of the proprietors, and the proprietors took no money for allowing them to be present. The bridge was merely for the convenience of the steam-boat passengers, and he considered that it was quite strong enough to admit of persons walking across with perfect safety. The reason of its breaking down was that too many persons were on it. The people fell at once into the water. The wood of the bridge was strong and of a good quality. It appeared to him a pure accident arising from the number of persons on the bridge. Mr. Newbon said he was there on behalf of the Wit, terman's Company, the owners of the pier, and the Co roner said he could not recognise any professional man, as there was no one in custody. But any suggestion he might make should be attended to. The last witness was examined at considerable length by the jury, and stated in addition, that the police had not been called upon to remove the assemblage from the pier, and that no extra policemen were put on in conse quence of the regatta. There was a great deal of ex citement arising from the wish of persons to see the rowing, but at the time of the occurrence not a boat was passing. The CORONER remarked that the two important points for the jury were whether the " bridge " had on that occasion been diverted from its original use ; and whether money had been taken. If these could not be substantiated the imputation of blame could not rest on the proprietors of the pier. Michael Wahh, carpet warehouseman, 63, Hatton garden.—At the time of the accident he was on the landing at the steps of Blackfriars -bridge, where the dra g s were kept. He was standing there from five till nearly eight. Saw the boats getting ready, and observed a great many persons on the wooden bridge and pier, which was somewhat slanting. The people were standing, and he heard the wood work snap all at once. It went into two pieces. One part nearest the stone-work hung by the ropes and chains—the other went out into the water. He rushee! down, and while holding by the ropes and chains at tempted to rescue several persons who were struggling in the water. He did not observe the deceased Aurelia. Munday, but he saw two other girls. He could not say that any money was taken to allow the people to stand on the pier. The watermen and a policeman tried to keep back the children, but they were too numerous to keep away. By a Juror—Had no previous opportunity of testing the strength of the bridge, but from what he saw of it on the day of the accident, was inclined to think it quite strong enough to permit of many persons passing safely to the steamers. He should not, however, say it was capable of holding 20 or 30 persons at one time. The accident, in his opinion, arose from the number of per sons there. Thomas Ware—Was one of the pier proprietors. The wooden bridge belonged also to them. Had ...been in their possession two years and three-quarters. When it came into their possession it was quite new, and had been made by Mr. Cox, a barge builder. They took no money from the persons on the bridge. He himself was there when the accident happened. He heard a crash ; then he ran forward, and saw the people in the water. The bridge he was sure was quite strong enough for the purpose to which it had been put, namely, the embark ing and disembarking of passengers. He knew nothing of the deceased, and did not recollect having seen her. He tried five minutes before the accident to remove the people, but it was quite impossible. He considered that there was danger, and told them so, but it was of no use. He did not observe that the police tried to get the people away. The tide was about an hour after high water. There were, he thought, forty in the water, two of whom he rescued, but he could not say how many were got out. By a Juror—The bridge was six feet wide, and thirty feet long, and hand-rails on either side. It was also strengthened by iron clasps, or cross pieces. Should think from the terrific crash that all the planks broke together. They were of deal, and an inch and a half thick. The cost of the bridge was 201. There was a greater number assembled at that than at any previous rowing-match. William' Thorrington was a lighterman. He fished up the deceased child about half-past seven that morning, close to the Hetherington wharf, near the Blackfriars- Bridge, on the London side. The head was much bruised. The CORONER remarked that reports had been cur rently abroad, as to blame attached to parties in this case, and he had therefore been anxious to commence the inquiry. In the case of the deceased, there had been adduced no evidence as to the drowning ; for, from the bruises upon the head, she might have been dead before she got into the water. Under all the circumstances, he thought it advisable to postpone further examination, that more evidence might be laid before them. When there had been such an enormous sacrifice of human life, he felt satisfied the jury would not hesitate to adjourn in order to get all the evidence possible. In the case of the Breadcotts, the father was in such a distressed con dition from grief, that it would be impossible for them to examine him that night. After some discussion, it was agreed that an adjourn ment should take place until seven o'clock. At seven o'clock the inquest was resumed at the School-room in Churcle:entry, for, owing to the great number of persons who had waited to hear the proceed ings, the former room in the Glazier's Arms was found much too limited. Francis Underwood, 11 years of age, was first called. He knew Aurelia Munday. Was with her on Munday evening, talking to her on the platform at Black friars-bridge. Went there to see the rowing-match. She was standing on the middle of the wooden bridge, extending from the stairs to the barge, when it broke. There were many people on it. He had left the de ceased half an hour before it broke down. Asked her to go over to Bankside, but she preferred remaining where she was. There was no relative that he observed with her. No money was paid for going on the bridge. The piermen turned the people off several times, but they went on again immediately. Francis Hutcheson, surgeon, of Farringdon-street, had examined the body of Aurelia Munday about nine that morning. Found her much bruised about the face, and with a profusion of blood under the skin, which lie thought resulted from some injury sustained before life was extinct, but it might have been done when the body was under water. The body had been in the water twelve hours, and he was of opinion that death resulted from drowning. By a juror—The probability was that the child sus tained the bruises when falling against the barer : Win. Cox, one of the jurymen, at his own desire, was then sworn. He appeared desirous of addressing the jury in a set speech, but on the Coroner's objecting, he sat down without given evidence. George Hodges—Had occasion to make alterations in the bridge two years ago. At that time it. was in good condition, having been made of the best Dantzic timber. (A portion of the wood was produced in Court, which was stated to be very sound.) George Maunders, a police sergerent, said that there were four policemen on duty them e andkag immediately on the spot of the accident. The drag' were at work immediately. 'There was no request made by the bridge proprietors to drive the people off, and if there had been, it would have required a hundred policemen to do so. George Casson—Was on the platform at the time of the accident; and, consequently, further on the water than the persons standing on the bridge. At the time the bridge broke, he Should say, there might be fifty or sixty persons on it, and he saw twenty or twenty-five struggling in the water. Heard the piermen warn the people off. Some went and the greater part paid no at tention. He thought the bridge not safe for more than three persons. James Lynes, butcher, Newgate-street—Was at the place during the period of the wecident. Saw sixty or seventy persons on the bridge, twenty or thirty of whom were immersed in the water. No money was paid for admission on to the bridge. Henry Reynolds gave similar evidence. The Coroner summed up. He had thought it of the first impel tance, in consequence of the. rumours which were rile as to the cause of the accident, to call together a jury at the earliest possible momeett, that the real circumstances of the case, accredited try witnesses upon oath, might, through the medium of the public press, go forth to the world. It had appeared that a number of persons were collected upon the wooden bridge lead ing to the pier, in order to witness a boat race ; and it also appeared that attempts had beer& made by the pro prietors to clear it of the mass who. were upon it ; and it was further proved that they had neither demanded nor taken money from such persons; and that, therefore, there was no gross neglect or wilful wrong to be im puted to them. Under these circumstances he thought there would be no difficulty in the jury coming to an undivided opinion upon the subject. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of " Accidental death," and accompanied the same with a recommendation to the Civic authorities to use mea sures in future for the prevention of 'persons getting upon the barges in such cases as rowing -matches, and particularly in preventing children getting into places so liable to danger. The other cases were adjourned, in consequence of the lateness el the hour, RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. INCREASE OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC. The following is the increase on the traffic returns for the half-year ending June 30, 1844, as compared with those for the same period last year : Birmingham and Derby •• .. £5,269 Birmingham and Gloucester 1,094 Chester and Birkenhead ........ 1,294 Edinburgh and Glasgow. Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr 7,737 Grand Junction Great North of England. 2,913 Great Western 43,154 Liverpool and Manchester ... 9,709 London and Birmingham.... London and Brighton ... 9,311 London and South-Western 8,513 Blanchester and Birmingham 10,349 Manchester, Bolton, and Bury - .. 3,490 Manchester and Leeds 18,347 Midland Counties .. North Midland North Union 7,208 Sheffield and Manchester 3,697 Ulster ... 3,257 York and North Midland 2,287 Total increase for the half-year, on the above 21 railways, 196,3221. The large increase in the Great Western traffic;is partially accounted for by the opening of twenty-two additional miles of the line within the last six months; but even taking this fact into consideration, the addition to the previous income of the company is still very considerable. The most remark able advance, having reference of course to the length of the line, only fifty miles, is presented, however, by the Man chester and Leeds Railway; and the two weeks which have elapsed since the above return was madirup go to prove that the income of the company is still rapidly tending upwards. The receipts for the week ending July 6 were 7,4931., against 6,2221. in the same week of last year, and those for July 13 were 7,9011. against 6,275/. in the corresponding week 0f1843, a ratio of improvement which leaves every other railway far in the rear. We allude to these circumstances because the position of the Manchester and Leeds line, and the system on which it has been managed, are peculiar. Third-class carriages, at extremely low fares, have been employed upon it to a greater extent than on any other railway in the king dom ; and it is gratifying to find that the great share of public accommodation thus afforded has resulted in a large measure of prosperity to the company.

Sir,—Since my last, many changes have occurred in the weather, as the provincial and the foreign papers will attest, but still there is an extraordinary influence prevailing, as the thermometer presents. There have been the same circuitous currents, arising from the south-west or north-east, crossing each other at different altitudes, and subsiding with storms ; but this has continued so long, that we are led. to think of some unusual planetary influence is prevailing against the ordinary course. This day the thermometer stood in the sun, south aspect, 109 deg. When placed, at 4 o'clock, upon wood, in opposi tion to its rays, the spirit reach& 121 deg., whilst the other, which was longitudinal, was only 102 deg. The shade ther mometer indicated, in the sheltered position, 84 deg. 5 min. ; and the most extraordinary indication was the heat of last night, which was not less than 63 deg., being 8 deg. above temperate heat, being a very unusual heat in the night, even in eastern nations. Seven o'Clock.—There arc now signs of wind, from the at tenuated state of the atmosphere, and there will be, probably, a storm of thunder, from the currents of electric fluid which has been generated. I remain, Sir, your subscriber, Bermondsey -square, July 23. H. P. AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS, &c (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Since I wrote yesterday I have seen a farmer, who paid, before the commutation of tithes took place, 281., and who has paid since for the same land 42/. ; that is, you see, 50 per cent. Here are two more clauses from the agreements referred to, having relation to game. Ask yourself how a man, who is subject to the clauses already sent you, accompanied by these aful others like them, can afford to do anything with his labourers but grind them. Once a man consents, and has signed an agreement like this, he is degraded in his own eyes ; and I know several who have signed them, but are unwilling to own it. But all these things brings the one fact into operation— making single men work for less than the married ones, and unquenchable heart-turnings as the result : "That the said , his executors, administrators, or assigns, shall not without the permission in writing of the said —, his heirs, or assigns, shoot, course, net, fish, or otherwise sport or destroy game, fish, or wild fowl, on the said premises; nor give leave to any other person or persons so to do ; but shall from time to time, and at all times, at the request of the said , his heirs, or assigns, sign notices discharging persons from doing so, or from otherwise tres passing on the said premises; and shall permit his name to be made use of in any action or actions which shall be brought by the direction of the said —, his heirs, or assigns, against any person or persons for trespassing on the said premises, being indemnified by the said , his heirs, or assigns, from and against all expenses thereto re lating; and shall and will, in all other respects, use his best endeavours to preserve the game, fish, and wild fowl on the said estate." Is not this tolerably stringent when coupled with the clauses I sent you yesterday ? Here is provision made that the farmer shall give keep to any quantity of game the land lord likes to breed, having his keepers always watching the farms. And now look at the hypocrisy of the following;— "Whereas the poor have been of late deprived of the ad vantages of gleaning by the custom of mowing instead of reaping the wheat crops, it is hereby agreed that the said , his executors, or administrators, shall not in future mow any wheat crop without permission in writing from the said —, or his agent, under forfeiture of the present agreement": =4 (You will understand that mowing (the word has not the same meaning here as in Scotland), by leaving less stubble than reaping, leaves less cover for the game, and hence the farmers adopt it. As a matter of fact, all the farmers agree that it does not make the pretended difference in gleaning. Norwich, July 23. THE RUSSIAN FRIGATE AURORA, WITH PRESENTS FOR THE QUEEN, AND GOLD. On Monday (as we stated yesterday) the above fine vessel, commanded by a Vice-Admiral, came to anchor off the Cus• tom-house, Gravesend. • Yesterday morning, at four o'clock, several boats, con taining eighty boxes, bound with red tape, and impressed with the Custom-house seal, were landed at the wharf, and immediately packed in three uncovered light waggons, drawn each by four horses, furnished by the landlord of the Falcon Inn, Gravesend. Shortly before five o'clock a Russian non-commissioned officer and several soldiers entered the waggons, together with a police-constable from the metropolitan force in each wag gon, the whole being under the charge of acting Inspector Taylor, of the A division. The escort started, followed by the Russian Consul-General, the Chevalier Benkhausen, and some Russian officers, and the chief officer of customs at Gravesend, in two carriages. From the weight of the boxes the waggons did not reach Blackheath until nine o'clock. They halted until half-past nine, and then went forward, escorted by some mounted police of the Greenwich, or R division, to the Bank of Eng land, which they reached at half-past ten o'clock, and en tered the north gate of that establishment. The packages were then taken from the waggons, and sealed in the presence of the principal officer of Customs. The whole of the valu able property contained in wooden boxes weighed just six tons, and were safely deposited in the vaults of the Bank of England. It was rumoured at Gravesend that the gold was sent to this country for the purpose of being refined, and that the frigate would remain three weeks in the river, for the purpose of taking it away when so prepared.

The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair, are too well known and appreciated to need much comment. The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage, it enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu merous testimonials receivedconstantly in its favour, are au thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over a ll attempts of a similar nature. Being universally preferred, its consequent great dema nd excites the cupidity of un principled shopk eepers , who vend the most spurious t ras h as the , 4 genuine' Macassar Oil : whereas the genuine article is wholly the invention and property of A. Rowland and Son, and the amalgamation of its costly exotic materials renders abortiveany attempt to discover its component parts—thus proving the imposition of all other arti c l es b ear i ng t h e t i t l e o f " Macassar Oil."

It would appear that the result has been most satisfactory, only one casualty having occurred amongst those brave fellows on the voyage. It is gratifying to learn, too, the very great kindness and attention that were evinced towards the wounded by the authorities in India, in proof of which we need only mention, that the Governor-General himself visited and comforted them in the field of battle, and repeatedly in their respective hospitals, and subsequently, when at Calcutta, he personally superintended the arrangements that were being made for their embarkation. ...~=~=b_:.. ~ .__ dd :..._ = ti 4 ".1
