Prate@ io not reject of Till you've read our Prospectus. earl in November will be published, what every impartial in dividual will admit is much wanted in the Irish Metropolis, a really Honest, Able, and LIBERAL WEEKLY JOUR NAL, which it has been determined shall be called H E W 0 R L D. Now that we have sat down to draw up our Prospectus, we do solemnly protest that vt e would have given a considerable cute could we, by any means, have induced Lord Brougham and Viscount Palmerston to perform the duty for us, by Way of proxy. The ene would have described all that " THE WORLD" ought and will be, a thousand times better than we can ever hope to do ; while the other would have en shrouded all our errors and weaknesses in so murky a mantle of mystification, that they would have escaped the " audax et vigilans" scrutiny of the keenest customer in the New Police. Failing in our attempt either to enlist the ex-Chancellor, who was in hot haste to meet the hero of Waterloo at Dover, or the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " he had not a paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete the piseatory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, but feared he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned Sur eyes to Eaton-square, and thought of placing ourselves tinder an obligation to Sir William Alolesworth, but changed our mind, lest hi s D ur h am politics should creep through a transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in 'lin to solicit, but he wouldhave been rather heavy, and had !nottath to de in Waterford. Richard Sheil had the next place pt our co ns id era ti on , b at hi s s t y l e wou ld h ave been too spark ag and light for us ; and, moreover, we knew that ha was busied not only in preparing a patriotic address to the electors of Tipperary, but also in obtaining some knowledge of the tallow and molasses trade out of Al.Culloch's Commercial Dictionary." Having at length seen that we must ourselves put en our apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the un dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair lhould he extremely long an dull, or uncommonly short and Merry. Conscience whispered that we should speak the truth, hut we remembered that the philosopher of Alahnesbury has denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, and has re commended that both them and their lucubrations should he bundled off to some comfortable and hospitable country, like Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest prompted us to treat a grave matter with becoming serious tMts but the n t h e a d v i ce o f Pli n y flashed upon our memory, mend in vita sic i n stu dii s pu l c h errimum , &c.) where he recom mends to m i ngle m i rt h an d grav i ty i n our s t u dies. W e feared to be vivacious and pointed, lest we should be condemned as frivolous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure which has ever been visited upon unhappy authors since the time that the Athenians burned the books of Protagoras, and the Romans hunted Diogenes and his companions out) f: c ity, for telling more than they wished to hear. " [Nina). Natal.," as Dick Stapleton phrases it, would have inclined us to he a little vain, thereby following the counsel of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Seneca and Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like varnish, that not only makes wood shine, but last ; but we drew ourselves up, and, upon reflection , decreed that self. p raise, se far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the com pounders of Alorison's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Alan's Oint- Ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizing our Pen, first wrote a furious letter to Dr. Dionysius Lardner, com plaining that science l.ad not yet discovered some piece of me chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and 'ices by steam—then set about inditing one after the good old fashioned plan. The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re cherche repast; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut coat, or an unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuyee pants fur the last now novel, or the opera ; the Rational Man al one loves as honest and clever newspaper. But where is ho to find it": Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin ; for we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of the Liberal Me tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George Robins, who confessed, with a yawn and a sigh, that beginning with the oldest, and leaving off with the youngest,—" the chief of the Irish Press," (a tribute, by the way. paid to our own humble exerti ,, ns by the honest Sheffield Iris)—" he never had the misfortune to have submitted to his inspection se bad a lot, or one which would furnish such scanty materials for the puff ex traordinary." Spenser tells us that the Dublin Liberal News papers, or " earryers of newes," in his time were " fooles and notable rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has described the present generation as downright blockheads ; while Mr. O'Connell, by way of driving home the nail, designates the whole concern _ _ " A PALTRY PRESS." These be hard lines, as the sailors say, but " non nester his sernio." _ _ It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something in th e shape of an able and honest Journal is required to " stop the gap." To put such an intellt ctual vehicle upon the road, we think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal Placehunter, "or else you will reckon but few readers." Upon this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number °newspapers tot ll them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup- Pert one which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them the truth. All that mortal art bath wrought, In eur cell returns to nought ; The molten gold returns to clay, The polish'd diamond melts away. All is altered, all is flown— Nought staials fast but truth alone." In Politics we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People, Utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the select and interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous and often profitless— " Hard is his task who edits—thankless job— A weekly journal for the factious meb ; Alike undone, or if he praise or rail ; Fer this affee.ts his safety. that his sale ; He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set— If loud, for libel—and if dumb, for debt." Wo sha always be happy, when we can agree with those _: 11 who, nowever they may sometimes err, have rendered ," liberty; s e r v i c e, and made many sacrifices for the cause of _ e . r ty ; but w i shall not advocate that wait - a - while po lic y Which h o ld s out p r omises to suffering millions which are never I a IY to be realized— " My father, Time, is weak and grey, With waiting for a better day," We shall judge the Government by its ae's, and shall oppose aPrernier, be he Whig, Tory, or Radical, when we find him avers e to the removal of the remnant of the Penal Code, Which, absurdly enoug h , f or bids the appointment of a Roman Cattle ',lc Chanc e ll or ; — a Colonial Secretary. when he resists the 4 " e a llutl—or even so amiable an d enli g htened a States m a n as the present Irish Secretary, when he seems half disinclined to grant an increase of popular privileges to the Irish people. Co nscientiously believing that Ireland never can become gene rally happy and contented until she again has the advantage : f a DOMESTIC LEGISLATURE, we shall persevere, by " r guments and facts, to advocate the REPEAL OF THE UNION, i as not mare beneficial to Ireland than the Sister Kingdom. We will brine into the field the heavy artillery of reason, aided by the Cht brigade of w it and humour. We shall be st aid with th e g steady, and mirthful with the light-hearted. Pursuing "the even tenor of c ur way," we shall ~r un ea glittering like a brook in the sunshine," " From gr ave to gay, from li v e l y to severe." a talesman will find us po litical, and the Lawyer will di Th cover s that we know a thing or two ; the Physician shall proclaim Sportsman shall us lovers of the healing art ; the learn that we can clear a ci untry with him.

DISINTERMENT.—Since Friday last a good deal of excitement has prevailed in the neighbourhood of Globe-lane, Mile-end, in consequence of the inter. ference of the police to prevent the disinterment of bodies in the burial ground behind Globe-fields Chapel. It appeared that Mr. Poole, a clerk in the service of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, being stationed on that part of the railroad, which runs close to the burial ground in question, bad observed two men and a boy engaged in exhuming the bodies buried in one part of the ground, and Lurhog them indiscriminately, and in the most indecent manner into a deep hole, which they had previously Trade at another part, and consi dering such a procecuing as somewhat extraordinary as well as exceedingly indecent, he felt it to be his duty to call at the police station-house in the Mile end. road, and give informition of what he had witnessed Inspector *Craw, accompanied by Sergeants Parker and Shaw, K 10 and 3, in consequence proceeded to the burial ground in question, and as they were about to enter they met a lad with a bag of bones and a quan tity of nails, which he said he was going to sell. On examining them the nails were evidently those which had been taken out of coffins, and the bones seemed to be those of human beings, but the lad denied that they were so, though he acknowledged the nails to have been taken from the coffins. The inspector and sergeants then proceeded to an obscure corner of the gro un d, an d f oun d t h ere a great number of bodies packed one upon another in a very deep grave which had been dug to receive them, and the uppermost coffin was . not more th an seven or e i g h t inches, at the utmost, from the surface. The breast plate and nails had been removed from the lid, so that they could at once remove the latter, and from the ap pearance of the body as well as of the coffin, it appeared to be the remains of a person above the middle rank of life, and to have been interred about a month or six weeks. On making inquiries it appeared that the ground was the property of an undertaker residing in the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate-street ; that owing to the low rate of fees, and affording a protection against resurrection men by being surrounded by high walls, a great num ber of burials took place ; but as few would select the remote corner as a place of rest for their friends or relations, it was used for the purpose of removing the bodies of those buried in the better and more crowded part of the ground, to make room for others. The officers said that the dreadful s t enc h em i tte d f rom th e half -decomposed bodies placed in the hole before-men. tioned was sufficient to engende r di sease i n t h e neigh bourhood, upon which the men immediately set about i covering them. THE PENNY POSTAGE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—By inserting the accompanying extract you will oblige a great many admirers of the public services of Mr. Wallace, the Member for Greenock. I trust the inhabitants of the metropolis will not be backward in evincing their sense of his unwea ried exertions to promote this great measure. I am, &c.. A CONSTANT READER. London, Oct, 14, 1839. MR. WALLACE, M. P., AND THE PENNY POSTAGE. (From the Ncotsman.) Much has been said, and with great justice, of the credit due to Mr. Rowland Hid, for originating the idea of an uniform penny postage, and for his laborious and successful exertions in promoting the cause. 'We mentioned in our last paper that the inhabitants of Wolverhampton had presented Mr. Hill with a splendid testimonial of their approba tion, and we hope the example will be followed by other tow ns. But while too much praise can hardly be bestowed on Mr. Hill, it would be most ungrate ful if the public were to forget that, but for the ex ertions of Mr. Wallace, the Member for Greenock, Mr. Hill's plan, • in all probability, would by this time have been very generally pronounced im practicable, and therefore have, been postponed to the Greek Kalends. To Mr. 'Wallace we arc indebted for the appointment of the Select Committee to inquire into the subject, and to his talents and th? untiring patience and perseverance with which, as chairman of the Committee, he pro secuted the inquiry, we are mainly indebted for its result. Nothing could be more creditable to Mr. Hill than the candid •manner • 4)•which, when re turning thanks to his friends at Wolverhampton, he acknowledgcd the very large proportion of the pub lic gratitude due to Mr. Wallace for procuring the penny postage. He says, according to the report of his speech in the Wolverhampton Chronicle:— "I will not be guilty of the affectation of at tempting to depreciate the value of the measure, the success of which has led to this meeting; but justice to others requires that I should state that the merit of bringing this measure to a successful issue is by no means so exclusively mine as you, with a kind and partial feeling towards myself, have • represented. Foremost among those to whom the ' public is indebted for this improvement, stands my Hon. Friend the Member for Greenock. Long before I had called the attention of Government and the public to the importance of cheap postage, Mr. Wallace had repeatedly spoken on the subject in the House of Commons, and had done much towards rousing the public attention. It is true that he had not proposed any specific plan of general post-office management ; but he had often urged the necessity of reduction in the rates of charge, and had earnestly recommended other improvements.. In short, he had, by universal acknowledgement, made the question of post office reform his own. Such was the state of things when 1 took up the subject. How would an ordinary man have acted under these circutn stances ? He would, undoubtedly, have treated the with jealousy —as a poacher in his warren. Such was not the conduct of Mr. Wallace.—(Cheering.) On the contrary, he at once held out to ine the hand of friendship and support, placed me on the vantage ground he had by much labour acquired for himself, and gave me all the benefit of his position.—(Applause). From that time to the present he has unceasingly urged on Parliament and on Government the adoption of my plan. He it was who obtained the Committee of Inquiry, and it is mainly 'owing to his unwearied zeal and in dustry as Chairman of that Committee, that the investigation was brought to a triumphant issue.— (Loud applause). The constant intercourse I have enjoyed with Mr. Wallace fora period of three years, has afforded me an insi g ht i n t o his character which few men probably have: obtained. Every one who has paid any attention to Mr. Wallace's Parliamen tary career, knows him to he a man of unwearied zeal and industry ; scrupulously exact in the discharge of his Parliamentary duties, and straightforward, open, and honest in the expression of his opinions, to a degree which would frequently give offence, if it were not. notorious that he is one of the best tem pered and most good-natured men in the House. But it is not every one who can speak as I can of the extreme kindness of his disposition, produced by the most anxious regard for the feelings of others —a regard which I have repeatedly experienced— and of the delightful simplicity of his character.— (Applause.) Such is the man who has taken the lead in-effecting the conquest we may now be con sidered as in some degree met to celebrate; and to Mr. Wallace the public owe a debt of gratitude which they will find it difficult to discharge. If his great ancestor is deservin g of the fame which has been awarded him for fighting the battles of his country's independence (and who will question the Justice of the award ?), scarcely less is his claim to distinction for the bloodless victory he has achieved. —(Loud applause.)" The Duke of Sussex is expected at Lambton Castle on the 22d instant ; and we understand it is his Royal Highness's intention to honour his Noble Friend, the Earl of Durham, with his company for three weeks. —Durham chronicle. ON CROSSES IN SHEEP.—From the Mostyn firm being composed chiefly of stiff clayey land (on the rise of the coal . measures), and th e faot that the South downs and Lexesters never succeeding there or arriving at anything to equal weight in their native districts, it was deemed judicious to try what might be done by the introduction of a cross between the Cheviot ewes and a Leicester ram ; and it is gratifying to remark that the cross has suc.-Tcded on the Mostyn grounds. This change was commenced in 1833 and the produce, killed in MArch and Apiil, of 1836, then two years old, averaged from 60 to 701 b., or about 161 b. per quarter ; the practice is still going on, and the six sheep exhibited here this day, are brought forward to show by actual demonstration the value of the cross introduced ; the weight of two of. the - are as follows :-Ist wether, weighed 20,51b5., tWO, year-old past ;2d do. do. 201 do. do. In 1836 some ewes and a ram were had from the stock of,j.„ Cots, Esq., of Woodcote in Shropshire, not, believe, - pure Leicestcrs, and the best of the svethers of thislittibk 'wag also weighed, and made only 1811b5.,-whiely.Aptin exhibits the striking fact, that stock will not improve when the change takes place from good to bad tang, Another of the lot brought here to-day is from a cross between a Mierionyddshire ewe and a Cheviot rani it is how three years old and weighs 1.7,1 pounds. _lt should be here remarked, that the shei:p'e . xhibited here to-day have had some advantage over their*Pretleces,or bo!h in time and keep ; and which'` no` d;iuht improved state. The — prin cipaltribotes much to their advantage in their keep arises from their remain ing on the best piece of land we have, all spring and summer, and having had oil cakegiven to them, in ad . - dition to oats and turnips during the Spring. The cost of the oil cake is, on the field about 121. per ton, or Very near 6 score (1201bs) for 131. : six score is men tioned, because that quantity w as given weekly to the flock, consisting of 60 or 70 head, and which is 24d. each per week for oil cake. I'he above p a p er was a l so real by Mr. Whitley, at the instance •f Lord Mostyn, at the Holy-well Society last week-- a brief report of which has already a ppeared in the Herald'—his Lord ship strongly recom mending both subj ec t s to t h e not i ce of the Flintshire firmers.—Larnarvon Herald. A REFUGE FOR THE DESTITUTE SICK.---At a general meeting of the Governors of the Royal Free Hospital, on Tuesday last, the Secretary state d that a purchase had been made of the house adjoining the Hospital, for the purpose of affording increased accom modation for the patients ; and that th e following. notice had been posted in all the police offices and stations in the metropolis R o yal Free Hospital, Greville street, Hatton-garden. Noticc.—All destitute sick or diseased persons, not having' a parochial settlement in London, are immediately admitted, on their own appli cation, into the above - na med H ospital, no Governor's letter, nor any other form whatever, being required.

Charles Chapel/ (father and son), Anne King, Eliza Plant, Henry Cox, Sophia Cox, anti Celina Kemp, were yesterday brought before Mr. Jar dine for re-examination, charged on suspicion with being concerned, with others not in custody, in plundering the chambors of Mr. Porter, of Lincoln's-inn-fields, on the 7th September, of money and other property, amounting to upwards of 5001. The prisoners are all connected, and, in order to obtain information how far each had participated in the robbery, they have been several times remanded. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Humphries, with Mr. Steele, for the pri!mners. Mr. Porter, being sworn, stated that the prisoner Thomas Chapel! h a d b een for thirteen years attending on him and other gtntleinen, as porter in the chambers, and on the day in quest'on he dined up stairs in the rooms of a person who was absent, returning to his own chambers eta quarter past six o'clock, which were situated on the ground fluor. Before he went up stairs he bolted the door, which leads to the clerk's office and which opened with two keys, one of which was in witness's possession, and the other in that of the prisoner. Directions were given that no person should enter the apartment, and on re entering the place, observing some disorder, he found the drawers had been emptied, from which were taken twelve table spoons and a dozen of gravy spoons, a gold watch, three 1001. notes, and five 101. notes ; there was also a private drawer in the desk from which were taken seven 101. notes, with a number of seals, rings, and other property. On making a search some skeleton keys and a crow-bar produced were found. The pri soner was not on the premises at the time, but he re turned shortly after, and no suspicion was entertained that he was concerned in the robbery. Witness in stantly accompanied the prisoner to the station-house, where they gave information, and it was observed on inspection that no violence had been used to open the private door. Witness remembered Sergeant Pocock finding seine sovereigns on the following Friday, and other circumstances subsequently occurred which led him to suspect the prisoner to be concerned. The sovereigns were found under a stone in the washhouse, and they were claimed by the prisoner. Upon his being questioned on the Friday what he knew of the robbery, he answered he could not make any declara tion without criminating others, and he instantly burst into tears. In answer to Mr. Steele, witness said that the prisoner had been part of the time attending at, dinner, but had left for the purpose, as he stated, of showing the stables to some person. Inspector Musgrove proved having examined the pre mises, and finding the skeleton keys, one of which opened the side door. He had previously searched, and found none, and the door leading out of the office was fastened, but there were marks upon it as if they had been made by a " jimmy." The key was found within half a yard of the door ; and on the 13th, as the pri soner went with Sergeant Pocock to search the wash house, the former pulled up a stone from under which he took seven sovereigns and a half. The mone y was quite clean, and on th prisoner being asked, pre vious to the search, if he had any money, he said he had Is. id. in his pocket, but he had hid money under a stone to conceal it from his wife, who was addicted to drinking. Witness also found the receipts produced in his pocket for 21. 18s. 4d., which, with the Is. id., made up 3/. Witness also got the crow-bar and skeleton keys produced, one of which opened the drawer where the iron-chest had been deposited. Charles Meadowes, clerk to the prosecutor, saw the prisoner, Thomas Chapell, at the Red Cross Saloon, Bethnal-green, on Monday, the 9th September, when he said he came to communicate something very unplea sant to him. The prisoner then said he had been sent by Mr. Porter to observe if witness spoke to a person who wore a white hat, and witness answered that he had no objection that any person should see his acquaintance, upon which the prisoner said he should see the situation of witness's house, that he might be able to answer any questions that might be put to him by his master. The prisoner also said he would propose to a person he ellled Sackay to join him in a company of comedians at Liverpool, and that he was anxious to go to the country as he was uncomfortable at home, and he had as much money as would enable him to get away. Witness was asked to join, but he said he (lid not care about it, and he (lid not mention the circumstance for two days after. Upon the 9th of September the prisoner said he had not twopence to procure a pint of beer. Witness saw Charles Chapell, junior, at the Chambers, and being invited to go to a public-house, they were joined in Lincoln's Inn-fields by a person named Charles, and, from the description, be believed him to be Charles King, who is not in custody at present. _ _ George Collier, a constable, of the E division, went with Pocock on the sth inst. to 32, Brook-street, Neer road, where he proceeded to search a back kitchen, and while he was doing so, the prisoner Charles Chapell came in. On being questioned if he had any money, he pulled out a half-sovereign, a half-crown, and one shilling. He was then asked had he any more, and he said he had not, but on searching him, there were found 5 sovere4ns rolled up in a piece of green baize. On demanding where they came from, he said .he got them the day before for Al bill of Mr. Simple, his master, who lived in Camdnn Town. On witness threatening to in quire of his master, he said, ." Alt, 'tis no use to tell lies about it, I picked them up in the park,", Witness told him he should take him for the robbery, and he said he could not help it, as he was drawn into it. On being asked when he had seen his son Charles, he said not for the last month. On the 29th September witness went to 12, Frederick -street, Portland Town, the residence of the prisoner King, who declared she knew nothing of the robbery, and that she had not seen her son Charles for the previous fortnight nor had she any money. Wit ness searched the room and found nothing ; and while he was doing so, she several times tried to sne a k awa y, but he pulled her back ; and, on searching her person, 118 found 51 sovereigns and 235. in silver. On asking her bow she came by them, she said she received them from Eliza King, meaning the prisoner Plant, and who wit ness knew had lived with Charles King ; the witneto Pocock at the moment entered the room with Plant in custody, and then she was questioned about the money ; she said she got it from Charles King. On telling her the prisoner King was in custody for the robbery, she said if right took place, others ought to be in as well as her. Witness went on the same day to No. 12, South Tem ple -court, Tottenham-court-road, where with Plant he found the Coxes and Kemp at dinner in the parlour. In the drawer of the wash-ilaud stand he found the life 'Tweeter prwiuced, and a coat in another part of the room. On asking Cox who it belonged to, he said it was his properly, but witness said he knew who wore it on a certain day, and he should take it away. Upon which the female Cox said, why should you take that coat more than any other ? Witness had reason to euppw:e that the female Cox was daughter of the elder Chapell and that Charles Chappell, not in custody, had lived' in the same place with the prisoner Kemp both - before and since the robbery. Mr Clarkson said after what had transpired he could not in justice to the public state the reasons he had for applying' that .all the prisoners should be further re man, ,ed for a fortnight. Mr: JARDINE considered that all the prisoners were to a certain degree concerned in the robbery, and al though [mine inconvenience might arise, particularly, as the Sessions were so near at hand, a remand should take - WORSHIP-STREET. TROUBLESOME CUSTOMERS.—Yestcrday Mr. Brad brooke,the proprietor of the Hurnsey•wood public-house, attended upon a police information, in which he was charged with having harboured disorderly characters in his house during the hours of Divine Service on Sunday se'nnight. Inspector )Hellish, of the N division, stated that the inhabitants of Hornsey and the 'neighbourhood had re peatedly complained of the • intolerable annoyance to which they were subjected by the congregation in the Wood every Sunday morning of the very scum of the metropolis, to witness prize-fights and other demoralising exhibitions. Having received notice that a fistic ren contre was to come off on the morning of Sunday, the Gth inst., witness dispatched a body of conm ables to sup press it and disperse the mob ; and he afterwards pro ceeded himself to the defendant's house, accompanied by Inspector 'range, as he had been told that the Sabbath breakers found entertainment there when their brutal sports were over. On their arrival at twenty minutes beore twelve at noon they found the defendant's house and premises filled to overflow, there being at least 150 persons smoking and drinking therein, many of whom he recognised as the worst characters in the district. Such proceedings he understood bad been carried on for some years past with perfect impunity. The defendant declared that they were in the habit of overrunning his premises, vi ct armis, and he had no help for it. He was heartily glad that he was at length put under police surveillance, as he hoped thereby to get rid of a class of customers who were far more free than they were welcome. Mr. Geove : —lt is a very bad case, and I shall take care that the licensing Magistrates are made acquainted with it. You are fined Si. and the costs, and if you ever appear again on a similar charge the penalty shall be I doubled. The defendant immediately paid the fine and went away repeating his cordial approval of the new arrange ment. THE APPOINTMENT OFADMIRAL FLEMING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In the year 1814+ or 1815, at the close of the war, a gallant Admiral, when he struck his . flag, promised .one, who for years had been 'ins faithful follower—one of those whose heads, hearts, and hands had helped the Admiral to eminence— that if ever he, the Admiral, should be in power, he would take care that the conduct of his follower in the service of the country should be rewarded. In a few years the Admiral, because he teas a Tory, and had Parliamentary influence, became a Lord of the Admiralty. The follower was now sure of his promotion, and reminded his patron of his promise. The answer unequivocally and most flat• teringly acknowledged the promise ; but alas it was only to renew it, for the Admiral added that the Admiralty Men was so pressed by those who had Parliamentary influence that promotion or em ployment for any one else was, for a time, out of the question, but that he would not lose sight of the matter. I do not mean to insinuate that the Admiral was insincere, for My belief is that he was over-ruled. The poor fellow at length saw boys, unborn when he entered the service, pro moted over him, and, resigning himself to his fate, half-pay, descended quietly to his grave. He, how ever, lived long enough to see the passing of the Reform Bill, and died in the hope that the time had passed by when the want of Parliamentary in fluence would be an obstacle to the reward of merit. If the above gallant Admiral was one of the candidates for the Governorship of Greenwich Hos pital, he ought not to complain, for even assuming that the appointment of Admiral Fleming was solely through Parliamentary interest, and that the Tory is better qualified, yet he has only been served with that measure which he once was -obliged to mete Out to another. Let us hope that Admiral Fleming v►as selected because he is qualified for the office, and possesses the additional recommendation of being a friend and supporter of the present Ministry. It is to be hoped that the Ministry, while they have a friend qualified for office, will not overlook him in favour of a Tory. Had not Lords Grey and Althorp, end even Lord John Russell, thus acted, Toryism would not have been so rampant as it lately has been ; but all time servers found that in their administration, a Tory had as good a chance of promotion as. a Whig, and they all knew that if ever the Tories came into power, that none but Tories would stand a chance ; therefore, wise in their generation, caring only for themselves, and not caring a farthing for their coun try, they thought it better to be Tories. The present rage of the Tories is because they know that if they are kept out of office, reforma tion in public offices must go forward ; they see in the determination of Government to support its friends, that the Government will in return be sup ported, and that the longer the Tories are kept out of office the fewer will be the sinecure offices and the pensions for them and their adherents, and the chances of plundering the State lessened. - ANDREW ANCHOR.

DEPARTURE OF THE QUEEN DOWAGER FOR NEWNHAM, BY THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—Her Majesty Queen Adelaide having appointed yesterday to leave London by the Lon don and Birmingham Railway, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Denbigh, at Newnham Paddox, near Lutterworth, a large crowd of respectably dressed persons assembled at the outer gates of the rail way station at Euston-square some time before a quar ter past eleven o'clock, the hour appointed, anxious to witness the departure of her Majesty. Punctually at the time named her Majesty and suite, in three car riages, with outriders, arrived at the Euston-square sta tion, and were received by some of the Directors of the Company. The crowd outside manifested the greatest respect for her Majesty. Her Majesty remained in the room prepared for her until her own carriages were placed on the train, which occupied about a quar ter of an hour or twenty minutes. She tben entered one of the mail carriages, which had been prepared ex pressly for the occasion ; and everything being in rea diness the train started off at a rapid rate. The train was engaged expressly to convey the Queen and her suite. Post-horses were ready at the Rugby station, and it was expected the Queen would reach Newnham to dinner. A train arrived, just as ber Majesty was about to start, the passengers by which remained until the Queen departed. Several of the friends of the Directors were present ; but the disagreeable state of the weather prevented many from attending, there being a drizzling rain falling the whole of the time. Her Majesty ap peared, we are happy to say, in excellent health and spirits. LE.IPSIO FAlR.—Both English and German cottons are in fair demand. Woollen cloths are not in much request. Linens are looking up, and are much wanted. Silks are in great demand ; large purchases have been made for Greece. Leather is of free sale. Wool is much demanded ; the supply is limited this season. Strangers are every day arriving, and it is ex pected that this September fair will be more than usually prosperous. FIELD OF WATERLOO AT NOON ON 'IHE DAT AFTER THE BATTLE.—On a surface of two square miles it was ascertained that fifty thousand men and horses were lying! The luxurious crop of ripe grain which had covered the field of battle was reduced to litter, and beaten into the earth ; and the surface, trodden down by the cavalry, and furrowed deeply by the cannon wheels, strewn with many a relic of the fight. Helmets and cuirasses, shattered fire arms and broken swords ; all the variety of military ornaments ; lancer caps and liighland bonnets ; uni forms of every colour, plume, and pennon ; musical in struments, the apparatus of artillery, drums, bugles ; hut, good God ! why dwell on the h irrowing picture of a foughten field ? Each and every ruinous display bore mute testimony to the misery of such a battle. . . . Could the melancholy appearance of this scene of death be heightened, it would be by witnessing the re searchea of the' living, amidst its desolation, for the objects of their love. Mothers and wives and chil dren for days were occupied in that mournful duty ; and the confusion of the corpses, friend and foe inter mingled as they were, often rendered the attempt at recognizing individuals difficult, and, in some cases, impossible. . • • In many places the dead lay four deep upon each other, marking the spot some British square had occupied, when exposed for hours to the murderous fire of,.a French battery. Outside, lancer and cuirassier .were scattered' thickly on the earth. Madly attempting to force the serried bayonets of the British, they had fallen, in the bootless essay, by the musketry of , the inner- files. , Farther on, you traced the spot where the cavalry of France and England had encountered. Chasseur and hussar wore intermingled ; and the heavy Norman horse of the. Imperial Guard were interspersed with the grey chargers which had carried Albyn's chivalry. Here the Highlander and tirailleur lay, side by side, together, and the heavy dragoon, with green Erin's badge upon his helmet, was grappling in death with the Polish lancer. . • • • On the summit of the ridge, where the ground was cumbered with dead, and trodden fetlock-deep in mud and gore, by the frequent rush of rival cavalry, the thick strewn corpses of the Imperial Guard pointed out the spot where Napoleon had been defeated. Here, in column, that favoured corps, on whom his last chance rested, had been annihilated ; and the ad vance and repulse of the Guard was traceable by a mass of fallen Frenchmen. In the hollow below, the last struggle of France had been vainly made; for there the Old Guard, when the middle battalions had been forced back, attempted to meet the British, and afford Here time for their di s o rg aniz e d com panions to rally. the British l e ft, wlich had converged upon the French centre, had come up ; and here the bayonet closed the contest.--Maxwells Victories of the Brilish Jrnry. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF it POLE. — On Monday night an inquest was on the body of held before Mr. Higgs, at the Exeter Coffee-house, Strand,aged Mr. George Gordonoviteb, a thirty years, who shot his himself Polish by gentleman, discharging t wo small pistols into head o n Sunday mornin g last. that the deceas e d h a d From the evidence it appeared formerly held a situation under the King of Osde, but in the month of Mar ch last he arrived in England from Calcutta, with a letter of introduction to Mr. Robert Buckland, East India Army Agent, in consequence of which Mr. Buckland had supported deceased ever since, but hod informed him that he should net do so much longer. It further appeared that Mr. Buckland met deceased in the Strand on Saturday, and lent him a s overeign, offering him more, which, however, he re fused.

The following General Order, describing tli.e limita tions and restrictions under which General and other Staff Officers commanding districts in Great Britain are ' authorized to grant leave of absence to officers, and fur loughs to non-commissioned officers and privates, dur ing the ensuing winter months, was issued from the Horse Guards yesterday : " Horsc Guards, Oct. 10, 1839. " The General Commanding-in-Chief is pleased to approve of general officers commanding districts in Great Britain granting leave of absence to officers, and furloughs to non-commissioned officers and soldiers, 'an der the following limitations and restrictions, viz. : " 1. The leaves of absence granted under this Order to officers may commence as soon as the half-year'.y in spection shall have, been made. The furloughs granted to non-commissioned officers and soldiers may continence from the Ist of neat month. 2. These indulgences are to terminate on f 1 10:h of March next, when, in conformity to her Majesty's regulations, all officers and men arc to be present with their respective regiments. " 3. One field Officer, one half of the captains, and one half of the subaltern officers, are always to be pre sent with their regiments. " 4. No officer (except in the performance of duty, or for the purpose of joining his regiment) is to quit the United Kingdom without having first received her Ma jesty's special permission. "5. The officers employed on the recruiting service, or upon the staff of the army, arc not to be included in the number hereby fixed for the constant duty of the regiment. " 6. The applications for leave for regimental pay masters and medical officers are to continue to be made in the mode prescribed in pages 71 and 72 of the regu lations and orders of the army. " 7.

"8. The proportion of non-commissioned officers, trumpeters. drummers, and private men, to whom fur lough may be granted, is not to exceed ten per troop or Company.

THE ROYAL GEORGE.—We gave an account in our last nu m b er o f th e bl ow i ng up o f a port • ioa of this vessel, under th e su p er i nten d ence o f Colonel Pasley. The following additional particulars are furnished by the Hampshire Advertiser :—" The sound was net so - great us had been expected, but the shock was distantly felt on shore, appearing at our office on the Parade, to shake the entire ground. Up to Thursday several detached parts of the ship, as welt as the main capstan, ew!) tillers, and an iron 30-pound gni' on "its carriNfe, marked " Glory," and a brass 24-pounder,' were . brought to the dock-yard. The iron gun is totally changed, so that it can be cut with a knife, 'or even •scraped with the human nail, and will actually make an impression on paper similar to that of blacklead. The carriage, which is made of elm, is marked " Glory," and is in a high state of preservation, being scarcely affected by the water. The brass gun is a beautiful piece, per fectly free from corrosion. It is marked on the breech ring " H. Scalch, Fecir, 1758 ;" has dolphins with the Royal arms of the Master-General of the Ordnance before them. Weight 50 cwt. 2 qrs. 24 lbs. The Royal arms are quartered as before the union with Ireland, Prance still occupying the third quarter. The breech ring has three perforations of several inches deep, in which it is supposed iron plugs have been ; th e y h ave b een discovered in pie ces of ordnance previously removed from the sea ; it is imagined they may have been also used for facilitating the movings of the gun on its carriage. In the present instance the iron has been operated upon by the chemical properties of the copper and totally destroyed. Persons accustomed to observe sailors, especially in the olden time, have doubtless noticed them frequently take off their shoes when going aloft, which they frequently stick into the mortise bar holes of the capstan head for security. It is curious, and at the same time pregnant with a good deal of melancholy interest, that in the present case the recovered capstan contains several pairs of shoes with silver buckles, just as they were placed by those gallant tars whose mirth and revelry has so long been hushed in death. Two othor iron guns have since been recovered. Lie effect of the ex plosion has not been fully aseartaine I, but the side which stood erect is reported by the livers to be blown in. It is pretty clear, however, from tile appearance of the recovered portions, that the powerfui egeney of gun powder was not requisite to have produced a separa tion, as all the wood and iron that was not imbedded in the mud or blue clay is totally destroyed. 'A. very slight mechanical pressure would have doubt less effected every purpose. We understand that Captain Dickenson, , whose recovery of the trea sure sunk in the Thetis in South America, was so distinguished, not only by seamanlike skill, but great mechanical tact and ingenuity ; and for perse verance and labour accompanied by excess of danger was described by a great naval authority to:.be quite unparalleled, devised a plan as long ago as 182.5 for raising the Royal George entire, if still strong to hold together, and even, if that proving impracticable, of breaking her asunder by explosion, and removing the wreck piecemeal. We furthermore understand that the plan submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty, was refused only on the ground that the business was not to be done at all. It is rumoured that Captain Dickenson would have done it without any expense to the Government, if allowed to retain what he should recover ; whereas Colonel Pasley was allowed to spend six or seven thousand pounds, which will swallow all the recovered property, and has to be paid for his ser vices after ail." NOVEL MONOMANIA.—During the last week an individual, reported to be connected with a wealthy cloth house in Liverpool, has been exhibiting at the west-end of the town what may be termed a sort of hackney-coach monomania. It has been the practice of the individual in question to drive about at night ac companied by five or six empty hackney -coaches. On Thursday night the same party hired a band of musi cians, and, at the head of his usual cavalcade, stopped in the Haymarket and ordered the musicians to strike up. The police, however, interfered, and the gentleman in a rage set to and broke the whole of the instruments of the musicians. Accompanied by six or seven hackney coaches, during the whole of the night, the party in question went to every night-house at the west-end. SINGULAR HARE HUNT.—On Tuesday week the Inverness barriers found a hare in the neighbour hood of Fort George, which, after a beautiful run, was seen to take to the sea under the walls of the Fort. The hounds were hallooed forward, and reached the strand ere their game got out above sixty yards. The pack gallantly taking the water, a most interesting sea hunt took place, when one of the dogs, Old Bimbo, maintaining his leading character by sea as well as by land, swam in to poor puss, and bore her ashore in .1 triumph.—lnverness Courier. , On Monday morning, at half-pest twelve o'clocky' an alarming fire broke out on the premises of 'titian, Sammersgill and Co., teadealers,S4, Lamb's street. The fire originated in the front bed-room on the second door, from a lighted candle being placed too ' near the bed curtains. By the very prompt arrival of the engines and brigademen, they succeeded in confin. , ing the fire to the bedrooms, which were destroyed.
