The Queen of PouTuGAL' accompanied hy the KING CONSORT, left the capital on 12..t,e 3d for Thomar, on a visit to Cos CABRAL, the Minister of the Interior, who has a magnificent seat and large landed Property in that beautiful district, perhaps the finest in all Portugal. As royal progresses are becoming fashionable, and ought to be encouraged, it is only proper to let Donna AIARIA. DA GLont.A have her share of the merit. The Diario do Govern° gives the following account of her MAJESTT's vOyage up the Tagus : " On Wednesday last, amidst the roar of cannon from all the ships of war in the Tagus, the QUEEN and lima Cox siotrr embarked from the royal dockyard in this city, on board the Terceira steamer, and proceeded up the river to Villa 'ea t e r on their way to Thomar, to honour with a , visit the M ter of the Interior. On arriving off Villa Nova, her l'IJI:-YrT Was visited on board the steamer by the municipa t atul other authorities of the place, who presented an ad dressayeathing, of course, the most loyal sentiments. On t he 4th she arrived at Santarem, where the same scene was i te ted.

Prices were very fully supported, but not higher sales. Sales 1,000 hales Surat, at. 3d. to 4 1 4 d. ; 1,400 Macao, at 6d. to 61d. ; 100 Pernam, at ;d. ; 200 .Egyptianat 6 1 4 d. to 9d. ; and the rest American, at 4d. to st/d. per lb.—Shares. were good, and a large business was transacted, in some instances at advanced rates, the light scrip being principally dealt in; as the old lines were comparatively neglected, except Manchester 411 . 4 Birmingham, which rose rather considerably. - We are glad to find- by the advices which came . tb hand from the British North American Colonies that a very warm interest is felt among . all classes for the rapid extension of the railway system throughout the dependencies of the Crown in that direction. It has been already stated that a company has been formed for constructing a railway in the upper pro vinces, and an extension of the pl an has - been received with great attention by the colonists to communicate with Halifax, and progressively to form a line westwardly to the Pacific Ocean. We are given to understand that the Go vernors of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the other colonial authorities, are warmly interested is this most beneficial project. On the proposed line, there is every facility - for executing the works upon a most economical scale. The advantage to the colonies themselves cannot be at present duly estimated. The advantages of railway corn muni,.:ation' as compared with cana l conve yance, is admitted, On all hands, and a great deal of anxiety was expressed as to the amount of success which would attend the plan when developed to British capitalists, a. 9 from them a considerable 'portion of the necesary finds would, in the fit st instance, be required. It appears by the Roya? Gazette, of New'Prunswick, that there - had been a considerable improvement in the re venue of the colony, which had been auginent ed. in the first six months of this year by 15,800/., as compared with the returns of the corresponding period of 1844. The accounts from New York state that the stream of emigration had set in there for the season with increased activity; within 24 hours there had been reported not less than 2,687 steerage passengers, of which 1,755 were from the United Kiagdom. Including the arrivals of the two previous days, more than 3.000 persons had landed. A letter from ' Albany says—" This is a great country, but how long will it take to fill it up at this rate? The arrival a 1,500 settlers a day at New York, and as many more at.thc other ports of the United States and 'Canada, will enormously increase Uncle Sam's interesting and miscellaneous family. There are accounts of May 10 from Sydney. Trade wag not very active. The Exchange on London had been 1 discount. The continental accounts are not of any leading importance to-day. There are but four quotations given for the English Funds to-day, namely—Consols for Money at 98% 1,4, and Exche quer-bills at 465. 48s. premium. Consols for the Account have not been priced at all to day. The Brazilian Bonds have been dealt in at 88 (f.,r the new stock), and Chilian at 104, as the dividend has beets duly adyertis.d.

A letter, received at Lloyd's, from their agent at Salouica. of the 27th of August last, mentions a report of Orates having been met with in that neighbourhood. A vessel of the country had been boarded and plundered off Skyros of provisions and effects. The Turkish Vice-admiral, Hassan Pasha, had gone in search of them. The Orate vessels are said to be four in number. FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE RAILWAY TUNNEL. LivEnPoor., MONDAY, workman in the e,n ployment of the Grand Junction Railway Company, met his death in the tunnel on Saturday. His name was Jams Nixon, and he was fifty-five years old. The most absurd rumours prevailed as to the cause of his death. At the in quest, which was held to-day, several witnesses were ex amined, and among them John Woodward, a plate-layer, who said that about a quarter past ten o'clock on Saturday morning he sent the deceased, who was also a plate-layer, down the tunnel to sand the rails, as they were very wet. Four trains went down between the time he was sent and a quaiter to twelve o'clock, at which time witness saw him dead. He was perfectly sober when he was sent into the tunnel. 'William Holland, the superintendent of the engine station at Edge-hill, said that about a quarter to eleven o'clock he went down the tunnel in a pilot-waggon ; and when about a quarter of a mile down he felt a slight obstruc tion on the rails, and heard a noise like the breaking of a piece of wood. He put the break on and stopped the waggon as soon as he could, got out, and looked along the line, and from the brightness of the rails he saw they were clear. He went down to Lime-street, and sent a man to examine the rails. William Jubilee Norton, a porter at the station in Lime-street, said he was sent up the tunnel by the last wit ness to see for something that was supposed to be upon the rails. He got a light for that purpose, and about a quarter of a mile from Edge-hill he found the deceased lying across the down rails, with one foot on one rail and his right hand upon the other rail. He was quite dead and cold. His right hand was com pletely crushed, and his left jaw was brokeri. There was also a wound upon the forehead, and another upon the back part of the head. Hebrought the deceased to Lime-street. Holland -further stated that he afterwards went up to the place where the deceased was found, and there saw a wooden lamp, which. was used at the station, broken, and this, in his opinion, was the obstruction deceased had met with in going down the tunnel. The lamp was the one that the deceased used. This was all the evidence, and the inquest was adjourned to atlord time for a post mortem examination, it being surmised that the wounds upon the deceased were not sufficient to cause death, and that he must have fallen into a fit, in which state he died. ACCIDENT AT WOTTON.—The Post published a paragraph this morning, stating that the Duke of Bucking ham, while out on a shooting excursion yesterday, in the neighbourhood of Wotton, had the misfortune to have one of his hands severely injured from the bursting of the gun while loading. The statement was incorrect, as appears from the following account in a second edition of the Post:— " Tuesday, ten A.M.—W e hasten to correct the statement above given, so far as the Noble Duke himself is concerned. The accident alluded to did not occur to his Grace, but to Mr. James Hogg, son of Mr. Hogg, M.P. for Beverley, who was of the Duke's shooting party at Wotton, yesterday. We should here mention that our information of the accident was derived from a gentleman who came to town last night by the express train, which passed the Tring sta,- tion at half-past nine o'clock P.M. It was there currently re,. ported and believed that the Noble Duke was the sufferer, and it was stated that a gentleman was in attendance at the station to meet two physicians from London, who were ex= pected by the mail train. While we rejoice to learn that the Noble Duke has sustained no injury, it is with great regret that we confirm the accident to Mr. Hogg, who, as our readers are aware, is a promising young officer in the Guards. Mr. Hogg is going on very well, and it is hoped that the accident will not render the amputation of more than one finger ne cessary. The Duke of Buckingham arrived in town this morning." Her Majesty, upon the recommendation of his Grace the Commander-in-Chief, has been pleased to appoint Major-General Sir James H. Reynett, K.C.H., to the permit nent establishment of general Officers receiving 1/, ss. pay per diem. THE MAILS.

The East India and China mails will leave here on the 20th. INCREASE OF MEN IN THE DOCK-YARD.—WOOL WWII, SEPT. 15.—An order was received at the Wool With Dock-yard, yesterday, to employ 25 shipwrights, six joit . , - , r g, and six blacksmiths, in addition to the sixty shipwrigifts, six joiners, and twelve blacksmiths alluded to aS '.',r erect to be employed last week. The Niger steam-vessel, building at this yard, is ordered to be constructed by t as k wor k , and will soon be ready for sea. Ten shipwrights 14i4V0 been sent from this dockyard to the East India Device, at Blackwell, to assist in expediting the work requisite on the Avenger steam-frigate, that she may be made ready for sea with the least possible delay. On Friday last an ox in the pasture of Denson Park, near Welling, Kent, the seat of Mrs. Johnstone, was observed to be in a dangerous state, with the symptoms of hydrophobia. As it was known that the sheep and cattle had been bitten by a mad dog, Mrs. Johnstone ordered the beast to be shot. Several persons narrowly escaped from the fttry of the enraged animal. The Jesuits of Saint Acheul, being dispersed by order of their superiors, have sold the Mason de Blament, which they possessed, at the gates of Amiens. This important establishment, which formerly contained 200 students, has been purchased by th e D ames d u B on Pasteur, as a refuge for repentant young women.--=Galiganai, Six officers of the depot of the 43d Light Infantry, quartered at Dover Castle, rowed in a light six-oared regatta galley from Dover to Boulogne last week. They started_ early in the morning with a coxswain, and reached their' destination in safety before noon. The Gazette Y de Cologne states the negotiations between the Zellverein and the Low Countries had com pletely failed, and that this result is attributed to the com bined influence of France and England, which two powers, it is said, are negotiating with Holland for commercial treaties. AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH OF ONE OF THE GREENWICH BOARD OF GuAßDlANs.—Yesterday afternoon, about half-past four, as M r . M aze , a hi g hly respectable auctioneer, residing and carrying on business in Park-row, Greenwich, leading to Maze-hill, was standing tgakeiknigietaotha.hgaTtleman at the corner of South-street and lie was observed suddenly to stagger, and before the person he was talking to could catch him, he fell. Upon being raised, he was earned into the shop of dr. Grey, grocer and oilman, one of the overseers of the parish, where medical aid being sent for, promptly attended, when it was discovered that the deceased had breathed his last. A shell was immediately procured, and the unfortunate deceased was removed to his own house, where the body now lies awaiting a coroner's inquest, The venerable deceased was in his 75th year, and much respected by all who knew him, having filled successively all the parochial offices. SUPPOSED CASES OF INFANTICIDE.—Monday, two supposed cases of infanticide occurred in Mr. Baker's-(Coro ner for) district of East Middlesex. The first case was that of a new-born female, whose body was found floating, on Saturday morning last, in a branch of the River Lea, called Bromley Lock. The second case was that of a newly-born male child, which was found by a waterman floating off Blackwall-stairs yesterday morning. Both bodies were in a decomposed state. They await a coroner's inquest. THE APPROACHING BOAT.RACE.—LIVERPOOL V.

OLD PUGILISTS.—The following is a list of the ages of the most celebrated old pugilists of the present time, and is considered by many years to be above the general average which prizefighters attain ; the majority retire from the ring at 30, and many die before they arrive at that age, and the exception is Mr. Jackson, whose first fight was in 1788, and last in 1795 ;he is now in his 78th year. Tom Cribb is 65 ; he entered the ring in 1805. Tom Belcher has , attained his 63d year ; he made his debut in 1804, and retired in 1813. Mr. Gully is 60 ; he made his final appear ance in the ring in 1808, Tom Olver is 55 ; he commenced his pugilistic career in 1811, and concluded in 1834. Tom Spring Is in his 51st year ; his first fight was in 1814, and last in 1824, NEW LIGHTS.—Some fanatics have been preaching at Exeter to immense audiences, announcing that the end of the world is fixed for the 10th of October next.

Captain Hosken repot is very satisfactorily of the powers of the screw, and of the Otip's machinery. During the whole passage the engines have Myer been stopped, but have worked with the greatest possible, regularity-. The reason of the pas sage being of somewhat I onger duration than was expected is the difficulty of keeping - a sufficient supply of steam. This difficulty her commander and engineer are, IMwever, fully confident of overcoming_ in her future voyages. - Captain Hosken sailed from New To lc on - the afternOon of the 30th, and at 7 P.M. of that day the pilot left her. On her passage ,he has experienced very little westerly wind, and one day, in a fiile breeze, the ship. made 298 miles, froM noon to noon. It appears that during the whole voyage the vessel was .never worked at a greater pressure than 600 horse power, although her engines are of 1,000 horse power. The natural consequence of this was, that instead of making, as it is cal culated she can, seventeen and a half revolutions per minute, she averaged but thirteen. This is stated to arise from an insufficiency of the furnaces and boilers, which are both too await. The following table shows the degrees the vessel muds and the degrees run in each 24 hours : sawn) mom NEW YOIIK, SATIi MAT, ACC,. 30, 4 P.M. Noon. Lat. Long. Distance.

The vibration so generally complained of in paddle wheel steamers is scarcely felt in the Great Britain, even at the sternniost part of the vessel, and midships, and at the fore, it is not at all perceptible; while, as a proof of the excellence of her machinery, it may be mentioned that, throughout the whole voyage, not a screw or pin became loose. A gale of wind appears to be more calculated to show the vessel's great powers than a calm. In the former, when the wind keeps the sails stiff; she behaves very well, but when a calm prevails she rolls tremendously. The " rig" of the Great Britain is not yet perfect, and it is, we believe, the intention of her gallant commander, before making his next trip, to effect some important alterations in it. The wire rigging is not found to answer so well as was anticipated. During the voyage she carried away her main-topmast, about half-way down, an accident the more to be regretted, as it is stated to have arisen from the insufficiency of hands to take in the sail on a sudden squall of wind rising. This insufficiency, it should be stated, arose; from the desertion of a large portion of the original crew at New York, just as the vessel was upon the point of sailing, which obliged Lieute nant Hosken to make up his number with the best men he could procure on the spot. On attempting to remove the stump of the broken mast, the day alter the accident, two of the crew were seriously injured. One of them had his arm completely smashed— amptation being performed on the spot by the ship's surgeon. For this poor fellow the passengers subsequently collected a purse con taining 251. The weather has been unfavourable, strong easterly winds prevailing nearly throughout the passage. The Great Britain does not appear to have created any par ticular degree of excitement in the New World. The gene. ral impression was unfavourable to her, and although visited by very many persons while lying in dock, there was a strong prejudice against crossing in her. This will, doubt less, be removed after she has made a few more equally suc cessful runs. The mother of M. Arago, the eminent natural philosopher, died at Estagel, in die eastern Pyrenees, a few days ago, at the advanced age of ninety-one years, DISEASED POTATOES.—Amongst the potatoes in troduced into the Loudon markets a great proportion have proved to be affected with-the prevalent disease.—The roots so attacked give out no peculiar appearance to the eye by Iviiieh the preaenee of disease may be indicated, but in boil. ing it is at once perceptible from the dark mass which they present in the interior. The dealers are aware of this, and in many of the poorer distriets Of the metropolis potatoes were sold on Satwday at 4112. and 61b. for 2d. Whatever may have been the cause, it is certain that externally the disease indicates itself by a fungus or moss, producing a decomposi tion of the farioaeoorts mterier, It therefore resembles in many respeets the ergot attacking grain and grasses ; which it Was proved at the last meeting of the British Association, at Cambridge, had greatly increased the last two ox three years. being probably owing to the great additional .intrease of animal manures.

SUPPOSED ROBBERY AND INCENDIARISM.—ShortIy beaux) twelve o'clock on Saturday night, the police-constable Who was on duty in Drummond-street, in passing Mr. Christie's premises, the Royal George Hotel, discovered that the front door was open. Having aroused the' inmates, Mr. Christie hastened down, when his attention was called to a strong smell of burning, which appeared to rise from the lower part of the building.

NAVAL PREPARATIONS.—A largo augmentation in the number of artisans and labourers in all our dockyards will take place immediately. No less than 426 additional hands are ordered to be entered in the dockyard, viz. ;-150 ship wrights, 36 joiners, 22 caulkers, 48 smiths, 100 labourers, 42 sawyers, and 38 ropemakers' labourers. The ropemakers are also to be augmented, and several stout boys are to be admitted to this department. With the increased force four large war -steamers are to be built upon the designs respectively of Mr. Fincliam, the master shipwright, and Mr. White of Cowes. . These vessels, we are informed, will be got off the stocks .with all possible dispatch. The additional force is engaged for six months, at the same wages as the other artisans. A daily report is ordered to be made of the state of the advanced thirty sail-of-the-line, and all stores not perish able, and furniture not liable to deteriorate by being afloat, are to bo put on board as convenient. The steam guard ships are to be brought forward immediately; in fact, some of them have ' already been taken in hand. Notice for tenders from engineers has been issued, and the tenders for screw machinery for these steam guard-ships will be sent into the Admiralty from the various firms after the Ist of next month.-114shirc Telegraph. Ma. WAH.LEr, M.P.—A paragraph respecting the alleged state of Mr. Wakley's health, which appeared in a weekly medical journal, and which has been copied into several of the newspapers, has caused considerable uneasiness among the Hon. Gentleman's friends. We have great plea sure in stating that the representations contained in the para graph in question are wholly destitute of foundation. Mr. Wakley, about three weeks ago, left London for the Isle of Skye, having previously purchased the right of shooting in that island. Not having quitted town for ten years pre. viously, for the purpose of recreation, it was thought that a temporary residence in an island 700 miles north of London would greatly conduce to the improvement of his health, after the fatigues of professional and Parliamentary life. We are gratified to be able to state that these anticipations have been real ised.— Observer. BOILER EXPLOSION.—The boiler of a steam-engine used at the Burn-bank Brewery, at Newcastle-upon. Tyne, in grinding malt and drawing water, exploded on Thursday last with great ♦iolence. It appears the engineman, named Christopher hall, was in the act of turning on the steam, to set the engine in motion, at the very moment the explosion took place, which blew off the roof of the building, and did considerable damage to the walls. Hall was thrown some distance from where he stood, and was so much injured about the head and other parts of his body that there is but little chance of his recovery. The noise brought several persons to the spot, who were exceedingly active in their endeavours to rescue the engineman from the fallen mass of build. ings by which he was surrounded; and it was soon ascertained that no other party was in the engine.house at the time, so that Hall is the only sufferer. He was immediately conveyed to the Infirmary, where he lies in a hopeless state. The accident arose from the steam having been worked at too high a pressure. JARROW COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—The Commis sioners appointed by Government to inquire into the causes of the recent explosion of fire damp at Jarrow Colliery are pursuing their investigations, and as reporters are not allowed to be present at their meetings, neither the evidence of the various witnesses examined nor the general course of the inquiry can be known until their report is presented. It is understood, however, that the Commissioners are desirous of collecting all the information they can from parties cognizant of facts relating to the state of the mine previous to the explosion, and with that view they have had private interviews with several of the workmen employed upon the colliery. They have also availed themselves of the assistance of parties who have been engaged in mining operations in various parts of the district, as to the general mode of walking, and the system of ventilation employed, and it is understood that the in quiry will be the most elaborate and scientific that has ever been instituted. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday even ing last, about half-past five o'clock, a mass named Joseph Kidd, of Renwick, Cumberland, aged 39 years, and a valuable horse, came to untimely ends under the following distressing circumstances : It appears that there is a very large cutting about a quarter of a mile distant from Penrith Castle, and the earth is conveyed there. from in waggons at a rapid rate on an incline a certain distance through the fields, and across the main road leading from Penrith to Keswick, to near the ruins of the Castle, where the line becomes level; the waggons are drawn from this place by horses to a large filling up at Penrith Townhead, and the empty waggons are dragged back again to the cut by horses. Deceased was in the act of taking five empty waggons up again to the cut, and why , -, he came to the 4, point,' or place where the chan:ee of line takes place, on unyoking the horse from The waggons, it unfortunately turned the wrong way, and got upon the line, where five loaded waggons were cont i g down the incline at a most furious speed, and in order to extricate the horse front its perilous situation he ran upon that line after it ; but before he could get it off and him d se th lf e o h u o t rsc o , f a t o h d e way the loaded waggons came smash upon him all of them went over them both.

On the fu lly crushed and mang the same line, near Yew's Cragg viaduct, Westmore. d land, aa:l'ii o n who was driving a horse, drawing a number of wa ggons, most miraculously escaped being killed. When un. yoking the horse from the waggons on coming to the incline, he fell into the middle of the line, where he lay quietly stretched out till all the waggons passed over him, without receiving the least in. jury. On getting up the lad did nothing but laugh, and imme diately set to the same work again quite undismayed. Tuesday last was an awfully fatal day amongst the workmen on the Lan caster and Carlisle Railway, in the vicinity of Penrith, for we have further to relate the heartrending particulars attending the death of a young map named Thomas Graham, aged 13 years, son of Mr. T.

F. DE CORDON - A and his_descendants." The Bourse remained closed on the Stb, being the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin. The Paris papers contain no news of importancd. The Journal des Debuts, in reply to a charge brought against the Minister of Public Works, by the National, for the haste with which the contract for the Northern Railway line was made, sufficiently explains the cause. "The Company," it states, "is obliged to reimburse to the State, at an interest of 3 per cent., the sums expended, or to be expended, by the State' for the works of the railroad between Paris and the Belgian frontier, and that that interest was to run from the date of the homologation of the adjudication. 11,300,000 f. have been laid out in the construction of the two roads from Lille and Valenciennes to the frontier of Belgium, and credits to an amount of 78,000,000 f. have been opened in the Department of Public Works for the construction of the line between Paris, Lille, and*Valenciennes. The sums ex— pended, or to be expended, by the State accordingly amount to about 90,000,000 E, and the interest due by the Company, from the date of the homologation, to 2,700,000 E, or 225,000 f. per month, or 7,500 f. per day. What would the National have said, if the Minister, by delaying the homologation of the adjudication, had retarded the period at which so considerable an interest commenced to run ?" The same journal makes some severe comments on the dispatches of Count WonoszoFF, giving an account of what has been called " Victories in the Caucasus," and contends that there had Been no victories at all, but decided defeat. The object of the Russian General was to separate certain tribes by cut ting off their communications, and had employed four divi sions of his army for that purpose, which entirely failed—all these divisions falling back, one upon the other, and at last retiring in a body. The official journal, therefore, concludes that the expedition into the Daghestan had led to no result, and that Count WORONZOFF had been created a Prince for doing nothing. The following remarks relative to the late commercial treaty between France and Naples appear in the Government paper " ' _"The relations between the two kingdoms were regulated ever since the family compact of the Bourbons, that is, for nearly 200 years, by a system of mutual concessions, guaranteeing certain privi leges to each, but which, not being stipulated in a formal and special treaty, could be easily revoked or eluded. On the other hand, the kirlfdom of the Two Sicilies was precluded by a tacit convention front extending to any other country the advantages enjoyed by French trade in the Neapolitan dominions. A first treaty, signed on the 28th of February, 1817, merely confirmed those immunities, which consisted principally in a reduction of 10 per cent. in the duties on French goods imported into the kingdom of Naples on board French or Neapolitan vessels. The treaty of the 14th of July, 1845, for mally abolished all exclusive privileges, while it maintained for a period of ten years the above reduction of 10 per cent. in the import duties on French merchandise. The Neapolitan Government pledged itself, by the same treaty, not to re-establish the old immunities in favour of any nation whatsoever, and at the same time not to grant to any other State, pending the duration of the treaty, the advantages secured by it to France. The Neapolitan Government had, moreover, consented to a diminution of one-half in the import duties on French china, glass, and crystal; of one-third on bronze and copper works, such as clocks, candelabra, chains, locks, &c. ; of one .half on articles of fashion,' bonnets, caps, shawls, handkerchiefs, feathers, artificial flowers, mantillas, lace, crape, veils, hangings, &c. ; of one-third on leather and skins, co loured or varnished; of 5-12ths on wrought gold and jewellery. Those reductions are to take place Independently of the reduction of 10 per cent. above-mentioned. According to the documents lately published by the Minister of Commerce, the intercourse between the two countries amounts to about 180,000,000 E—viz., 130,000,000 f. for the continental possessions, and 50,000,000 f. for Sicily." The Presse states that Lord PALMERSTON is expected at Paris in a few days, and that the Duke DE BROGLIE iS to have the chair in the French Academy vacant by the death of M. FOYER COLLARD.

(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE BARRATT. This insolvent, who described himself as a musician, &c., came up for his final order the granting which had been adjourned in consequence of the insolvent's schedule and balance-sheet not being perfect. He was now opposed on the ground that his amended schedule had not been filed in due time, it being completed only last night. The insolvent contended that there was but a slight alteration in regard to his household expenses, which his Honour, on the last occasion, considered had been put down speculation.on The Learned COMMISSIONER said, by the bankrupt law he was bound to file his schedule at least ten days before the schedule was filed (the insolvent's state of affairs being such that had he been a trader he could have been made ,bankrupt). The insolvent requested an adjournment till the 30th of October, on the ground that his wife was in confinement in the county prison for debt, and had petitioned the Court, and he thought it would be more satisfactory and beneficial to the creditors and himself, that they should both be exa mined at the same time. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked what was the amount of the wife's debts, and he was answered that they were about 3001. The adjournment was agreed to. CRIMINAL o C L O D U c R o T u .--(THIS DAY.

Mr. PAYNE addressed the jury tar The RECORDER summed up, and the ju.., dict of Not Guilty of the felony, but Guilty or assault. The sentence was that, considering the period which the prisoner bad already passed in confinement (three weeks), she should be further imprisoned for ten days. FonGEßY.—Howard Augustine Styles, 51, surgeon, was charged with having feloniously uttered a forged acceptance to a bill of exchange for 38/. 13s. 6d., with intent to defraud James Cooke. he was likewise detained on two similar charges. The prisoner having craved that his case might be allowed to stand over till to-morrow, as he, for want of means, could not fee counsel before that time, the Recorder said that he should at once, under the circumstances, accede to the request. The case, was, therefore, allowed to stand over. UTTERING FORGED ORDERS FOR GOODS.—Henry Skeen, alias Catniur, aged 22, bookbinder, was indicted for stealing twenty-three reams of paper, value 15/., the property of Win. Thadtery and Co. ; also for utteringforgedorders for goods, &c. Mr. Doane was for the prosecution ; the prisoner was un defended. Mr. Knight, stationer, of Budge-row, Watling-street, proved that the prisoner had, on the 23d May last, come to his place with an order from a Mr. Catmur, of Bethnal Green road, for three reams of " brown," three reams of " hands," &c. Witness asked several questions, to which satisfactory answers were given, and Mr. 'Pegg, of Cheapside, was given as a reference. The lot of goods was made up (eight Teams in all), valued 2/. 35., and given to the prisoner. Subsequent inquiry proved the prisoner had no authority from Mr. Cat mur to purchase these goods, and he was therefore taken into custody Henry Catmur, father of the prisoner, had not authorised his son to get goods in his name, nor had he seen the paper so purchased. The prisoner argued that he had never mentioned " his father," that the goods were for himself (Henry Catinur), and he had purchased goods before, which had been paid for. The RECORDER summed up, and the jury found the pri soner Guilty. Mr. DOANE explained that there were other charges of a similar character against him. He had also been convicted on two previous occasions of larceny. An officer of police said that on inquiry he found that the prisoner had been pursuing " that game" for a long time. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, remarked upon the art exhibited by the prisoner in the course of these frauds, but considering his years the Court would limit the punishment to the highest which the law allowed for obtaining goods under false pretences. The sentence, therefore, was that he be transported for seven years. STEAnixo.— George _Aim ton was indicted for stealing from fiv i e t yards app e a o r e f d c o f t r h o , m v the premises of Mr. James Cooper, of Bond-street, twenty eannindgstholise t a t l h u e ed ev l i ° d 4 ence of the prosecutor's porter, master's premises, t e h n a te t r as ed h t e he w shop as op mi l s , e n s e , p tl n i . e son p e r r iso i n m er s found Guilty, and sentenced to ten years ' • transportation. The prisoner had been found to have a notoriously bad character, and a previous conviction for burglary was proved against him. I knoinas Butler and Ed gar S argeant were indicted for breaking and entering the premises of Charles Lowe, of Seven Dials, St. Giles s, and stealing therefrom a quantity of brass. ;'he prosecutor stated that he had fastened his premises on the ing:;:. ofJuly 3d, and the next morning he found that the premises had keen open and a quantity of pro perty taken away.

Street, were charged with comm,tting an assault on a Mr. IV imam Jarovis, on the occa sion of a wedding% The complainant stated that on the preceding day .his son was married, on which account _a great number. of people assembled, and the 4 4 rough music" was set going. lie (corn-. plainant) went to the public-house to order the supper beer, and while at the bar the two defaulants came up, and asked him what he would " stand." He gave an eva - sive, answer, and.went home. And when he got to the door he found the defendants followed him, and they commenced ringing and knocking at the door with great violence. He deSiretahem to desist, but they refused, and ultimately struck. him A scene of riot and confusion ensued, which only was putittt end to by the police interfering, and taking the defend:Anti into custody. Mr. CornsGßut said he regretted to hear that such a practice as beating tin pots and kettles at a wedding still existed in the metropolis of a civilised Country ; and that it having been proved the defendants were prothinent in the dis graceful affair, and had assaulted the complainant, he should therefore adjudge them to find two sureties of 10/. each, and enter into their own recognisances in . 20/., to keep the peac , t and be of good behaviour for six monthS. CLERWENWELL.—(r HIS DAY.) Daniil Connor, a drover, was charged with beating: and wounding police-constable 238 6, so as to do him•gricvous bodily harm. The constable deposed that the prisoner was sitting in the middle of the pavement, on the previous night , near Smith field. He was just recovering from a fit of intoxication, and witness, fearing he would be run over, or trampled upon, and seeing that he obstrncted the pavement, told him to get up. fie took no notice of the command, but remained in the same position. Witness then seized him for the purpose of raising him, when the prisoner turned upon him, knocked him into the kennel, and rolled - him there until his dress -- was completely saturated with filth. At last he got upon his legs, but • the prisoner again got him down, and kicked him on the head with all his force. Wit ness, seeing that the prisoner was resolved upon murdering him, by a desperate struggle got him under him; the prisoner clung to him like a bulldog, and seizing the fleshy part of his leg between his teeth, pierced the thick trousers and strong boots until he made the teeth almost meet in the flesh. Wit- ness, by a well-directed blow, obliged him to relinquish his hold, but he seized his wrist in his mouth and inflicted a severe wound upon it. At length assistance arrived, and he was secured. Police-sergeant Cottam, 10 G, said, in all his life, he never saw any one in so shocking a condition as the constable, the blood was streaming from his face, his clothes were saturated with filth, and he was scarcely able to stand erect from the injuries he had received. 'The prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction, without the power of releasing himself by the payment of a fine. REGISTRATION COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CITY OF LONDON. The Court resumed its inquiry this morning at ten o'clock, when the list of Liverymen was entered upon. The first case on which any discussion arose was that of Mr. Marriott, described in the overseers' list as residing on Ludgate-hill. It was objected to him that this was not his proper residence, as he gad removed to Upper Albany-street, Regent's Park. It was maintained on the other side that this did not affect his right to vote as a Liveryman. The REVISING BARRISTER said, as it was a point of im portance, he Would take time to consider his decision. The next point of importance raised was in the case of Edward Brown, a member of the Bakers' Company. It was objected to him that his freedom had been taken up since 1831, and therefore, according to the intention of the Reform Act, his name was not entitled to be on the register. After considerable argument, as the decision would affect several hundred votes, it was agreed that a case should be selected, to be fully argued on Friday next. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

SUGAIL—The market for British Plantation is firm, and fully previous prices have been 6btained fur the quantity sold, but only a limited business has been done privately. About 750 casks have been disposed of, inclusive of those brought to auction. The public sales have consisted principally of 100 casks Barbadoes, 180 casks Berbice, 7,642 bags Mau ritius, 1,132 bags Bengal, 430 boxes white Havannali. Nearly all the East and West India found buyers and went off with spirit at fully previous prices, and in some instances rather dearer for the brown descriptions of Mauritius, of which the parcel chiefly consisted, and being mostly in small lots no accurate quotations can be given. All the Havannah was withdrawn much above the value, viz., at 40s to 41s 6d for very low to mid greyish white, .but of fair quality. The only transaction which has transpired privately worth reporting consists of a small cargo of yellow Havannah, which has been sold afloat at 30s 6d, deliverable at a near port on the Continent ; and for a large cargo (also afloat) of this .descrip tions, containing 2,700 boxes, of good quality, 31s Gd have been refused.

It should have been " the claim was disallowed," and on the authority, as stated by Mr. Moylan, the Revising Barrister, of the Court of Common Pleas, which, in last Hilary Term, decided that a lodger has no right to be registered. WALKING MATCH.—Mountjoy's great match of walking fifty miles in thirteen hours, twenty miles back wards, for six successive days, commenced yesterday, at six o'clock. There could not be a more unfavourable day, the rain pouring heavily ; but not at all daunted, the pedestrian pursued his course, and accomplished the ten miles in the fol lowing time :—First ten miles in one hour and fifty minutes, the second ten miles in one hour and fifty-eight minutes. The walking backwards the first ten miles was completed in two hours and three-quarters, the second ten miles back wards in two hours and fifty. eight . minutes. The fifty hurdles were afterwards leaped by Mountjoy in less than the specified time, ten minutes. He resumes this day at half past five A.M ., from the Red Cow Tavern, Dalston.

SHOWER OF DUST IN ORKNEY.--A friend just returned from Orkney acquaints us of the following interest ing fact :—On the night betwixt the 2d and 3d September, current, the wind blowing freely from the N.W., there fell upon the whole mainland of Orkney a shower of tine impal pable dust, evidently of volcanic origin. The dust fell in such quantities as to cover the whole island, and admit of being easily gathered. It is presumed to have been caused by an eruption of Mount Hula in Iceland, as asimlilar pheno menon which occurred many years ago was aileeTtsinsd to have proceeded from that cause. We have seen a quantity of the dust, which axactly resembles finely ground pumice stone.—Dundee Warder, LANDLORDS AND TENANTS IN TIPPERARY: William Beamish, Esq., Beaumont, near Cork, paid his an nual visit thi' Week to his estate in the neighbournood of Bor risoleigh.

A widow whoa lands had been subdivided between two sons, got an annuity of 101. for life, and EOM tenants who bad been evicted formerly were re stored. In the same neighbourhood, there is a landlord who seldom if ever stirs abroad without being armed to the teeth, and accompanied by a few policemen !

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) (Continued from The Sun of-Sept. 15 ) The Doncaster meeting commences tomorrow with a programme of sport that must gladden the heart of every Yotkshireman and every turnte. In accordance with my promise, I proceed to sum upon paper my reasons for naming the probable winners of the vs. rious ram. For the Champagne I selected Mr. Ramsay's Malcolm, from the superiority of his running at York and the strength of th stable. My other fancy, Princess Alice, I chose merely from her , improved form at Goodwood. In the 300 Sovs. Sweepstakes thought Lord George Bentitnik's filly would be found the best, from seeing that she w..s on her road, and from an idea that his Lordship would nut take the trouble to send her unless he deemed her good enough to win. In the match between Semiseria and Nottingham I stood on the former because her running at Goodwood showed a marked im provement in her form. In the exciting St. Leger I selected Mentor, from his pu?tilc run. ning being so good, from the stable being in such strong tome this season, from the opportunities enjoyed by his party of a,certaialog his merits, and the weight of money put upon him by those whose judgment in racing cannot be disputed for an instant. Weather hit I would not have, from an impression that he will not have got over his trying race for the Goodwood Cup, in which he ought. had he been good enough, to have won the St. Leger; he should have beaten a mare somewhat stale from running over so trying a course the previous day. Miss Sarah I declined having from thinking her victory by no means of that importance that others attached to it. seeing Miss Elis's good qualities had been nearly all taken out of her by her previous doings. Annandale's running at York already die. plays Old England's pretensions ; that he will obtain a forward po— sition in the race, I have not the least doubt. His being started at Salisbury was by no means encouraging to his backers for this race, inasmuch as it looked as if his owner was determined to get as much out of Watt as he could while sound. The Baron and Ould Ireland will run respectably, and perhaps remunerate those parties who have drawn them in sweeps, by putting into their pockets the third prize. The Welsh horse Pantasa will struggle on well, but I think his forte more gameness than speed. In the Cleveland Handicap I named Mr. Meiklam's Godfrey, from the manner in which he fulfilled my prediction respecting hint at York. In the Municipal Stakes, the way in which I saw Arkwright tinibh his race at Goodwood caused me to name him a:3 the probable winner. In the Foal Stakes my reasons for preferring Midlothian are un necessary to mention. For the Great Yorkshire Handicap I preferred Glossy, from a confident belief in her superiority to the rest of the field. My Mary ought to run respectably. Midlothian's doings in public made me pick him for the winner of the Scarborough. The same reasons led me to fix upon Mentor or Ould Ireland for the Gascoyne, and Princess Alice or Freelance for the Two-yrs old Stakes. The result of the St. Leger will determine in a great measure, the Parkhill Stakes, and one of the Aliases I think will no doubt win it_ In the two matches that follow, I preferred the owners of Lora Harry and Fazellen to those of their antagonists. Sept. 15. TELEGRAPH. BASINGSTOKE.—On Wednesday James Shackle ford, a youth of 14 years of age, was brought before Messrs. Sym monds and Cottle, magistrates for Basingstoke, at the Borough court, on a summons granted upon the information of Mr. Dalby, the superintendent of .police on the South. Western Railway, to answer to the charge of th row in g a s t one a t a ra il wa y train while iin motion on that Comp a ny' s li ne . J o h n B a il e y, a servant n the Company's employment, deposed that on the morning of the Gth inst.,'as the down slow train was proceeding under the Reading-road bridg.e, a stone was flung with considerable force from the top of the bridge, which struck the carriage between two passengers, an d bounded off to a considerable distance. Witness at the moment looked to the bridge, and saw the defendant on the parapet and looking over. The train stopped immediately, and witness went in pursuit of the defendant, and secured him after a smart chace. The defendant did not deny throwing the stone, but said it was not larger than a walnut, and exptessed much sorrow for what he hse done. Bailey, the witnoss, remarked that the stone thrown was much larger than described by the accused. The magistrate com mented in severe terms upon the extreme danger and enormity of the offence, and convicted the defendant in the penalty of 10s., together with 10s. eosts, or in default of payment to 14 days' lin prisonment. The uncle of the youth paid the penalty and costs. 111 E WEAThIER.—A sudden change has taken place in the weather, From an early hour this morning, witihthe change in the moon (first quar t er ) r a in set in, and d has continued Intermittingly, though not very heavy, during the 1:31i.

Strong evidence of the presence of electricity, which is the fire of heaven. alluded to in the policies, has already been offered, but the com panies contend that the losses of the insurers were the result of a storm of wind, and not of lightning. This is the point to be de cided by the Tribunal ; but, in the meantime, it may not be unin teresting to allude to a suit by theowners of the property destroyed in a similar way at Celts, on the '...`3d of October last. The questions having been brought before the Tribunal of Commerce of Mont pelier on the 10th of December, the Tribunal ordered that a cora. missinn of scientific men should be formed, to report as to whether electricity was present in such a way as to give the assured the benefit •f the clause in their policies respecting " the fire of heaven." The repOrt has 'seen drawn up, and seat to the Tribunal, but it has not yet been read.—Rouen paper.
