Payne held an inquest on Thursday evening at the Bull lan, Tooley- • street, Southwark, respecting the death of John Runnington, aged ' fifty •seven years, a grocer, lately carrying on business in Tooley. street. It appeared the deceased was a widower with a family of six children, and had been of weak intellect for some time past. On Tuesday morning last he went into his drawing-room, and having called for water the servant left him. Some alarm sub sequently arose at his long absence from the breakfast-table. Con sequently one of his servants went to his room door, but was alarmed on finding it fastened. She knocked, but could not get any answer, whereupon she obtained assistance and forced the door open. The deceased was then discovered lying on the floor, with a wound across the throat. The deceased had been very un. settled of late, owing to some domestic affliction. The jury re. turned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Friday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a young man named Richard Lambert, whilst practising in a boat preparatory to rowing a wager, lost his hold of one of the sculls, which fell into the water near the Thames-police station, and in leaning over to reach it, the boat overbalanced, and the unfortunate young man became im mersed in the stream. Although the accident was observed by numbers on both sides of the shore, and boats instantly put off, the poor fellow could not be recovered. Lambert was in his twenty first year, and bad been married but a few weeks. The body has not yet been found.

WOOLWICH-FRI DAY. The Athol troop- ship, Mr. Pea rn, Master Commander, came alongside the wharf wall at Woolwich Dockyard, yes terday, to take on board the baggage of Captain Lake's c !rnpny of the sth battalion Royal Artillery, under orders for Leith Fort, North Britain. The company was relieved yesterday morning from field battery duty, by Captain Flude's company, 7th battalion, and assembled at twelve o'clock in heavy marching order, on the guard mounting parade, with Brigade Major Cuppage's company, 9th batta lion, recently returned from Devonport, for the inspection of Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C.H., Commandant of the Garrison. His Lordship, attended by Major Armstrong, Acting Brigade-Major, Major smith, Captain and Adjutant Ormsby, and Captain and Adjutant Maclean, inspected the men very minutely, and expressed himself highly pleased with their clean and soldierlike ap pearance. Captain Lake's company embarked at the Wool wich Dockyard, at one o'clock r.isi. to-day, in the Athol troop-ship, for Leith. • Barrett() Junior, hired freight-ship, which left Woolwich on the 28th of August last, with Major Anderson's company and Capt. Stanway's company, both of the Ist battalion of the Royal Artillery, for Halifax, Nova Scotia, arrived at their destination on the 28th September, and the vessel was ex pected to sail on the sth of October, on her return to head quarters at Woolwich with Major Lock's and Capt. Mee's companies of the Bth battalion. The • Avon steam-vessel, Commander Denham, F.S.A., fitting here for service at the Bight of Benin and coast of Africa, is not to be engaged in the pursuit and capture of slave-vessels, although she is well armed, in case of being at tacked. Her employment is to be entirely devoted to the survey of a large portion of the coast of Africa, where so many British steamers and ships of war are now employed in putting down the slave trade at its principal sources. The Avon being about to be employed on particular surveying service in a part of the world in the great majority of cases fatal to European constitutions, has been prepared for the special service in which she is to be engaged, with every care and precaution that the aid or art of man can suggest for the convenience, comfort, and preservation of the health of her officers and crew. She is fitted with iron water bulk heads between the engine-room and the other parts of the vessel, and around and in the roofing of the deck cabins. The cabins, and the parts of the vessel appropriated to the crew, are supplied with prostrate and shower-baths, adapted to these places, to afford ample opportunities of ablution to promote health, and to add to the comfort of the officers and crew and relive the sick. The meat safes are protected from insects and high temperature by similar means. Eight boats had been provided for the Avon, two of which are whale-boats, and fitted as life-boats, and every one of the eight boats fitted with awnings and Redpath's cooking appa artus, with complete canteens down to the minutia; of salt spoons, for the comfort of detached parties, whether in the boats or marquees they carry with them. The Lords of the Admiralty have also been pleased to allow separate patent galleys for cooking the officers' and ships company's provi sions on deck, thereby diminishing the bulk of cooking duties, and additional in the vessel, had the whole cooking been perforated betwixt the decks. The peculiar service on which the Avon is to be employed in traversing the hitherto unexplored part of the Bight of Benin induced Commander Denham to take every precaution for the safety of the crew and vessel; and from the experience he had obtained while engaged in surveying on the British coast, he applied to their Lordships and obtained thirty-one of Porter's anchors, of sorts adapted to the vessel and the boats, and they have been tested and stowed, after being separated into three parts, as ballast in the hold; and so sa tisfied does he feel of their value, that he has not taken, nor will he take, any other description on board during his voyage. She also carries a stock of Warlick's patent fuel, which it is anticipated will stand the test of being stowed in small compass, and not be affected by a high temperature. One thousand tons of the same fuel proceeds by the Avon to Accra for her especial use. On entering the private cabins of this vessel this morning, they were as pure and sweet as the best rooms of private residences could be, owing to the windows being open all night, and merely protected by the wire-gauze ventilators. The Ardent steam-vessel, Commander J. Russell (b), ar rived at Woolwich yesterday evening from Ascension and Portsmouth, all well. Lieutenant Charles R. Johnson, who went out in the Eclair, but was transferred to the Ardent, has returned in the latter vessel in excellent health. The crew of the Growler are permitted to have commu nication with _the shore to receive necessaries and fresh water, but not to go out at the gate, or mix with the per sons employed in the dockyard. No new cases have oc curred, or any symptoms tending to create alarm, yet every precaution is very properly taken to prevent the chance of danger. The two persons of the crew who had been ill some time before the arrival of the vessel, but were con sidered convalescent, have had a relapse, their constitu tions having been impaired when employed on the coast of Africa.

This regiment is acknowledged to be one of the most re spectable and efficient corps of Yeomanry Cavalry in the kingdom, if, indeed, it is second to any, and has repeatedly received the encomiums of the reviewing officer. Two pieces of artillery are attached to it, and it possesses a fine brass band. The martial exercises commenced to-day. Wednesday next will be the grand field-day, when the regiment will be regularly reviewed in full uniform. The review of 1843 was honoured by the presence of the Queen Dowager and an illustrious party, from Witley Court. Her Majesty left Witley Court yesterday for a short visit to the Queen, at Windsor, but will return early next week, and may probably again attend the review, should the weather be fine. MERCHANT TAILORS' SCHOOL. The half-yearly examination of this ancient foundation took place on Thursday in the presence of the master of the company, Mr. Thomas Jackson, the wardens, and a large number of the Court. The examiners were the Rev. Pro fessor Browne, of King's College, Prebendary of St. Paul's, and the Rev. Dr. Sleath. After the examination, with which the examiners declared themselves highly satisfied, the Court were conducted into the school-room by the Rev. J. A. Hessey, 8.D., the head master, in order to hear speeches delivered by the senior boys, after the usual custom. Here a very large company was assembled, consisting of many distinguished clergymen and gentlemen educated at the school, and various friends and relatives of the boys. The following is a programme of the speeches, of which we will only observe that they were all well and carefully delivered ; sonic of the speakers, especially Mr. Warne, who spoke the comic speech, acquitted themselves with a great deal o* spirit :-- SUBJECTS AWD ORDER OF THE SPEECHES. lead Monitor, Thomas H.

" The Citizen's Complaint of ESCAPE OF A HORSE STEALER.—At the petty BPS sions held at Ilford a short time since, a man named Henry Bradley, a horse dealer, living at Chigwell, was committed for trial, charged with stealing a horse, the property of a tradesman residing in Whitechapel. Preparatory to his removal to Newgate he was conveyed to Ilford gaol for security, the lock-up at the Angel Inn, where the sessions are held, not being deemed sufficiently safe. Soon after - he was locked up in the cell, he by some means managed to slip the bolt and get into the yard attached to the women's side of the gaol. In this part of the prison a new building, for a wash-house, with a roof slanting from the outer wall of the gaol, has recently been erected. Having got on to the top of the wall, he was able to drop without hurting himself in the meadow which surrounds the prison. His escape was soon found out, and a strict search was made in the neighbourhood for him, but without success. A descrip tion of him was advertised in the Hue and Cry for two suc cessive weeks, with the same result. At length information was received at the gaol that a person answering his descrip tion was at Woolwich. Mr. Anderson, the governor of the gaol, immediately proceeded there, and found that his late prisoner had enlisted in the Artillery. He secured him and conveyed him forthwith to Newgate, where he now remains awaiting his trial. SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT A WEDDING.—OR Thurs day evening, between 9 and 10 o'clock, a party of friends having met at the house of Mr. G. Heal ndon, of Upper street, Islington, to celebrate the wedding of his eldest son, Thomas, with Miss Robertson, of Ely-place, Holborn, some of them commenced singing, and one of them having sung a song called "The Mistleto-bough," the bride jocosely ob served that she would imitate the heroine, as there was no fear of any such fatal result; and, accompanied by some of her female friends, she ran up stairs, followed by her husband and some others of the company. The ladies concealed them selves in a room on the second flcor, when a young man of the name of Brooks, a law-writer, residing iu Penton-street, Pentonville, Laving succeeded in forcing the door, Mrs. Hearndon, in carrying out the jest, rushed to the chimney piece, and taking down a pistol, presented it at Mr. Brooks, and, drawing the trigger, to the horror of all present, dis covered it was loaded. The charge entered Mr. Brooks's left ride, and he immediately fell. Medical assistance was in stantly sent for, and Mr. Greigson, of Gibson-square, was called in, who declared the wound to be of a most dangerous character. 31 3 % 84 59% 37% 99 1 ; 4 93 41 / CLOSING ,••• 2% 11.4 p ~.. 92 ... 11 3 % • 13 1 ,4 • 0 .8 55e 20% 10% 4% 3% 3% 220 155 .. 35 le 3% 103 ~ 5 5 , 8 ~ 514 . 1% p . p . ▪ 5% 5% ~ 217 ~ 44% ~ 28 ~ 10 3 % 5 1 ,A ~ 68% . 24% 3% 3 1 A 86 ~ 172 . 30% 2% 5 T F4 25 1.9 4 1 4 514 p 47 8 11 10 3 / 4 10 5, 6 2 6 4 5 1 p .. 6 1 h 39 1 / 2 11 1 4 '" 21.

CHESTER AND BIRKENHE The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of thisCompanv was held on Wednesday, at the Clarendon Rooms, Liverpool, Mr. W. Jackson, Chairman of the Board of Directors, pre siding. The report was as follows :—"The Directors, pursu log that course which has before been approved by the pro prietors, namely, to extend public accommodation to the utmost reasonable limit, and to invite the traffic of the great lines of the country by securing to them liberal terms and abundant convenience, have concluded an arrangement with the Grand Junction Railway Company, the terms of which accord with the principle announced. Without detailing minutely the terms which have been settled, it may at present be stated that the Grand Junction will run all through trains to and from Birkenhead, taking, at the same time, all local and through traffic which may be offered on the Birkenhead line ; and whilst the Grand Junction must run as many trains to and from Birkenhead as they do from Chester, this Company will continue to work as many trains as the Directors please for local traffic. Fares and freights will be adjusted on a basis beneficial for both companies, and the cost of working Grand Junction trains over the Birkenhead line will be settled .• _ at a fixed rate not exceeding actual cost. A proportion of all terminal expenses not exceeding actual cost for goods traffic will be paid by a fixed rate. A joint station will be 4 formed at Chester, and this Company will afford to the Grand 2 % Junction, and any other Company whose traffic is brought upon the Birkenhead line, adequate station accommodation at Birkenhead, at a rent of six per cent. upon the cost. The agreement with the Grand Junction Company is to continue for at least seven years. This arrangement, conceived in a spirit of friendly alliance, involves, necessarily, terms by which all future hostility between the two Companies may be avoided. The Directors have thus developed the principle upon which they arc prepared to receive upon their line the traffic of other railways which their arrangement with the Grand Junction does not prevent them from doing. They have now to submit to the proprietors the measures which they have projected for their sanction. 1. An improve . ment in the access to 3ionck's Ferry, by an additional tunnel and an enlargement of the station accommodation at the ter - minus. 2. An enlargement of the station accommodation at Grange-lane and Chester, as well as at Hooton. 3. Widen = ing the whole length of the railway from Birkenhead to _ Chester, sufficient for the broad gauge, if required. 4. A branch railway from Hooton to the Queen's Ferry, to stecom• modate all the Welsh traffic. 5. A branch railway from Hooton to Neston and Parkgate. 6. A railway from Grange - lane to New Brighton and Holylake. The cost, as far as an approximate estimate will enable the Directors to s?t,c , - it,. will be about 950,0001. for all these measu res. I lie - first, second, and third measures are intended to meet the demands of a largely increased trail:Go the...fourth, h. and sixth are for local accommodation." The report was adopted. MANCHESTER, HUDDERSFIELD. AND GREAT GRIMSBY RAILWAY. A general meeting of the Provisional Committee of this line took place at the Guildhall, Huddersfield, on Thursday, which was numerously attended. The CHAIRMAN (John Sutcliffe, Esq.) in a forcible speech setting forth the advantages of the proposed line of railway, (the objects of which are to complete a direct chain of com munication between the eastern and western coasts, and by mea ns of other lines to p ass through the town of Doncaster. forming one grand trunk line from Liverpool to Great Grimsby), moved that the engineer's report be now read and, after some discussion as to the mode of appoint ing the Executive Co mmittee, the re port was adopted. The report stated that no engineering difficulties existed, and that the tunnel under the Trent at Batterwick could be made without difficulty. (An announ c em en t rece i ve d by the com pany with great applause.) !It further s t a t e d th a t expe rienced contractors were ready to undertakethe works at con siderably less than the proposed estimate. The report having been unanimously adopted, a long and desultory conversation ensued as to the practicability of tun neling under the Trent. The speakers were Sir John Key, of London, the Mayor of Doncaster, and Aldennen liii ley, E. L Heap. Esq., Sidney Moorhouse, Esq., C. Lockwood, Esq., to whom the answer of Mr. Billinton, the engineer to the com pany, was declared to be perfectly satisfactory, the latter de daring that he intended to make at once a three feet drift or t• man-hole," tunnel under the Trent, to set the question at rest, aw expressed his convictien of being enabled to take to Parliament with him some bricks made of the clay from the excavation. An unanimous vote of confidence in the plans of theengi neer was passed, and afxr a vote of thaniis w the cliaminn 2 the meeting separated PARING AND EXTENSIVE CARRIAGn ROBBERY or jIVELS AN PLATE. --OD Friday morning information was re. ceived at the princlpst metropolitan police-oflice, in Great Scot land.yard, of a most daring and extensive robbery of a quantity been committed by some adroit and of plate and jewels having expert thieves, in Little James-street, Gray's Inn-lane, amounting to betu eel] 4001. and 5001, which was immediately forwarded to all the other police stations throughout the metropolis.

Townley, succeeded in opening it, and abstracted th e box with i ts valuable contents, with which they succeeded in escaping.

On such an occasion as the present of a separation, for the first time, f r o m hi s di st i ngu i s h e d corps, whose fortunes he has followed for 46 years, and whose gallantry he has proudly witnessed in every quarter of the globe, to have conspicuously added to the glories of the British army, Colonel Hare cannot but feel deep and sincere sorrow • and in giving expression t o th ose f eel i ngs which the warmth of natural affection and the recollection of time long past forcibly produce in him, he now bids his gallant comrades and fellow-soldiers farewell, with an assurance of his best wishes for their welfare and happiness, and au offer of his fervent prayer, should it be their Jot to be again called to the field in defence of their Sovereign's honour and their country's rights, that the God of battles will continue to carry them forward to honour and to victory.
