The Lord Mayor, immediately preceding her Majesty and Prince Albert, will state the purposes to which the various parts of the building are to be appropriated. The Officers of State who do n?t join the procession to be previously conducted into the Throne-room, as also the members of the Court of Aldermen who have pre ceded her Majesty from Temple-bar, and the members of the Joint Gresham Committee who have not formed part of the procession, and the officers of the Corporation.

Yesterday application was made to the Lord Mayor, by the Masters of several of the Livery Companies, to call out by precept the whole of those communities to erect booths in St. Paul's-churchyard, or to form themselves in line in the streets through which the procession will pass. It is recorded, that when Queen Elizabeth visited the City, the Livery Companies being drawn out in line from Temple-bar to the Guildhall, her Majesty thought proper to dismiss the military attendants ; and that when the Spanish Ambassador said to the Queen, " Where are your Majesty's guards ? " she replied, pointing to the faithful citizens, " these are my guards." There is no doubt that if time had sufficed, the whole of the Livery Companies would, in the present day, have been anxious to testify their loyalty by a similar demonstration. The LORD MAYOR, however, felt and expresed that, with the limited interval which would elapse before the Queen's entry, there would not be sufficient time to make the requisite arrangements. His Lordship issued the following letter, and it is understood that till Liverymen desirous of availing themselves of the opportunity of being present, must apply for tickets to their respective Halls to pass the barriers on the morning of the day :- 1 " Sir,—l am directed by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor to inform the Masters of the several Livery Companies, that, although his Lordship does not deem it expedient to issue any precept to the Companies upon the occasion of her Majesty honouring the citizens with her presence, his Lordship does not de sire to check the disposition which some of the Com panies have expressed, to do honour to the occasion by erecting stands in St. Paul's-churchyard for the accommodation of their body." The Lord Mayor and Committee :of Aldermen have passed the accompanying resolution :—" If it is the wish of any members of your body to occupy the standings in the Poultry, I have to request that I may be informed, on or before Friday, at twelve o'clock, of the number of the tickets which you will require, as no more will be issued than the space will conveniently allow.—l am, Sir, your obedient ser vant, " H. A. MEREWETHER. " Guildhall, Oct. 23, 1844." At a meeting of the Committee of Aldermen, Oct. 23, 1844, in order to prevent accidents in the narrow parts of the streets through which the procession will pass, It was resolved,—That the pavement on each side of Mansion-house-street and the Poultry be railed off from Charlotte-row to the corner of Bucklersbury, and from the corner of Princes-street to the corner of the Old Jewry; and that no person be permitted to remain on the pavement within those limits from seven o'clock in the morning of the 28th, till after her Majesty shall have quitted the Exchange, unless such members of the Livery Companies as shall produce to the police in attendance a ticket signed by the Com missioner. MEREWETHER. The following was yesterday evening circulated in the City : MAGNAY, MAYOR. Orders and Regulations by the Court of Mayor and Aldermen, for keeping clear the streets through which her Majesty passes, from Temple-bar to the Exchange, on Monday, the 28th day of October, 1844, both upon her Majesty's passage and upon her return. 1.

Sia,—Surely the Queen is coming in full state to open the Royal Exchange, or else what use is the state carriage and all, those enormously splendid ap pointments—if we are to verge down into plain down right democracy at once ? Surely the household troops, and every other means the Government has at its disposal, should be brought into action on the present occasion. lam sure the whole of the people will be much disappointecr, if this event is to be carried through at a railroad pace, merely for the sake of getting credit of it, instead of being a national event in the history of the first city of the world. Pray say a word or two on the subject in your powerful paper.—Yours, &c. CIVIS. 24th October, 1844. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE STARES.

Newcourt was backed at 13, 14, and 15 to 1, but left off with a downward look ; 20 to 1 was taken about the Altered One in two or three places, and afterwards offered currently ; 16 to 1 about Evenus, and 20 to 1 offered at the close; 30 to 1 taken about Sir Gil bert Heathcote's lot ; and 35 to 1 about Akbar.

Lord Cluncurry has just forwarded 50/. as his sub scription. The Cork Examiner of yesterday contains a list of subscriptions, including 1001. from the Earl of Arundel and Surrey ; 201. from G. S. Kendrick, Esq., West Bromwich, Birmingham ; Si. ss. from J. S. Buck ingham, Esq. ; Si. from Mr. Gore Jones, stipendiary magistrate, Thurles ; and 10/. from Messrs. J. and E. Grundy, Bury, Lancashire. Amongst the contri butors in this list are two English clergymen of the Established Church, and an Irish Unitarian clergy man, the Rev. J. Vixon Porter, of Carrickfergus. The Temperance Societies in Cork, and other parts of the south, are making arrangements to co-operate in the good work.

The following notification has been served upon Mr. Fitzsimons, upon whom a seizure had been made by the bailiffs of Archdeacon Torrens : " Take notice—That the following articles dis trained for minister's money—viz., six chairs—will be sold at the public auction-room 14, Dame-street, on Wednesday, Oct. 23, 1 844, for the said tax. " W. ADAMS, Collector. " To Mr. Fitzsimons, 17, Rathmines-mall." Thus Archdeacon Torrens has determined to push matters to extremities, in the attempt to enforce tithes in the most obnoxious form, in the rural district of Rathmines. When the appeal against the Archdeacon's appoint ment had been before the Privy Council, one of the items disallowed was 18s., the annual tax, demanded for a house then in progress of building, for the future residence of the parish priest and his curates! The house not been roofed at the time, the Privy Council compelled Archdeacon Torrens to delay his claim for minister's money, as against the Catholic clergy, at least until the house should be in tenant able order.— Dublin Evening Post.

FATHER MATHE W. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Observing the statement in the public papers relative to the pecuniary circumstances of the Rev. Theobald. Mathew, I beg to inform you that the Committee of this Society have instituted the neces sary inquiries into the subject ; and, should the re ports be correct, and Mr. Mathew be willing to re ceive any assistance, the Committee feel assured that the public will most cheerfully afford such aid as the case may require. Mr. Mathew has hitherto refused to allow any so cieties or individuals to contribute to his vast expenses, from a fear of injuring the cause in which he has so long and so disinterestedly laboured; and if he should now find it impossible to proceed without such aid, I trust the English nation will avail themselves of the opportunity of showing their respect for this real be nefactor of Ireland. SOUTHWARK LITERARY INSTITUTION.—Mr. D. J Stuart King gave his first entertainment on " National Melody, Composition, and Song," on Wednesday even ing. Among the songs were " The beams which fill those gentle eyes," " My Sister Dear," " Wilt thou re member me;" but " Kathleen O'More" and " Nelson" told best in favour of the vocalist. The Scottish song " Cam' ye by Atholl" was rapturously encored. At the conclusion Mr. King expressed his gratitude for the flat tering manner in which he had been received on the oc casion of his first public appearance in London, and an nounced for next Wednesday's entertainment " The Beauties of Burns, with Songs," when, doubtless, he will be quite at home. The house was well filled on the pre sent occasion. We have no doubt, from the cordiality of his reception, that the next evening will produce a bumper. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.-011 Wednesday, at St. George's, Hanover-square, was solemnised the marriage of Captain the Honourable Robert Edward Boyle, second surviving son of the Earl of Cork and Orrery, with Miss Georgiana Roberts, youngest daughter of Abraham Roberts, Esq., a well-known banker. The ceremony was a very gay one, a large number of the friends of both families attending the happy pair to the altar. The servicewas performed by the Hon. and Rev. Richard Boyle, Rector of Marston, Somerset ; and, at its con clusion, the parties retired to the vestry, to sign the register, Lord Fitzroy Somerset being one of the wit nesses. The bride, who has not yet attained her twen tieth year, was attired very richly, and being exceedingly beautiful, attracted much attention. After the cere mony, a numerous circle of friends partook of a dejeuner at Mr. Robarts's residence, in Hill-street, Berkeley square. The bride and bridegroom left town during the afternoon. _ _ I am, Sir, your obedient servant, THEODORE COMPTON, Sec. The National Temperance Society, 39, Moorgate-street, Oct. 22. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Times:— " Perceiving from a letter in your journal of to-day that the National Temperance Society has ap pointed a committee to inquire into the alleged pecu niary embarrassments of Father Mathew, arising from his great expenditure in promotion of temperance, you will, perhaps, permit me to save the time of such inquiry, and the consequent delay of the requisite relief, by giving you the strongest proof of the reality of the case, in a letter I have this morning received from Father Mathew himself, as I felt it my duty, on first hearing of his embarrassments, to write to him on the subject, enclosing some trifling aid, as the direct transmission of such assistance as can be given is generally more acceptable than the dilatory and expensive process of committees and public meetings, though both may be useful. " Your publication of his letter in your extensively circulated journal will bring his case more speedily and more effectively before the eyes of thousands than any other channel of communication; and I can bear my personal testimony, from intimate acquaintance and co-operation with this excellent man, as to his conduct being as pure and disinterested as that of any philanthropist who can be .named.--I am, Sir, your obedient servant, '" JAMES S.

She has been particularly successful in her portraits of celebrated individuals of both sexes, whose ways and means are far more remarkable for ingenuity than for honesty. We are inclined to think that some great ori ginals who have figured much in the public eye recently have sat to her for their portraits. The Honourable Miss Thorwold, the niece to a Peer, bears a striking resem blance to a beautiful adventuress connected with a cer tain noble house ; and there can be little difficulty in fixing the identity of the much-admired Lord William Hammond, on a nobleman well known about town. The disclosures of the proceedings of ladies in high life, through the agency of that extremely useful personage, the dealer in lady's cast-off apparel, in Half-Moon street, will be found as extraordinary as they are enter taining. As a love story, also, Mrs. Trollope's new work will be considered by all her readers of the fair sex as one of her most successful productions. UTILITY OF CONSTANT STUDY.—In my youth I was very much devoted to reading ; and even now, old us I am, I employ in it all the moments of leisure left me by State affairs. The things of this world are too nu merous for a man who lives in the ninth story of his palace to be able to know them. If he reads books, and there informs himself of the actions and proceedings of the ancients, he will find the means not to make many mis takes in his administration. For more than fifty years that I have reigned, I have committed but few errors, and I owe this advantage to reading.—Cuptain Piddiny's Chinese Olio. MORE COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS. N EWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, TUESDAY. Another explosion of fire-damp--so frequent in this district—occurred last night at Wallsend. 'the explosion took place in a drift at the end of a " board," on the underviewer going in to examine the workings. It ap pears the board had been carried forward to a dyke or trouble, the stratum of coal rising at this part some feet, and the drift was made by excavating the roof, to reach and continue the seam of coal.

CALAMITOUS EXPLOSION AT ROWLEY REGIS. ELEVEN LIVES LOST. On Saturday last a most calamitous explosion of fire damp took place in a coal-pit belonging to Mr. Darby, at the Five Ways, Rowley Regis. The number of persons at work in the pit at the time of the explosion is under stood to have been seventeen or eighteen, and of these, we lament to state, no less than eleven have fallen vic tims to this lamentable occurrence. Immediately after the explosin, the effects of which were perceived for some distance, the most active measures were takem to afford assistance to such of the workmen in the pit as might be alive, and six of them were as 50011 as possible extricated from their perilous situation. In a short time the bodies of eight workmen also were got out, those of three others being left in the pit in consequence of the foulness of the air. The six poor fellows who were got out alive are all more or less injured, but not, we are happy to state, to such a degree as to endanger their lives. The awful extent of this calamity has occasioned a most mournful feeling throughout the neighbourhood. — Wolverhampton Chronicle. LAND-SLIP. - THREATENED DANGER 07 THE CUSTOM-ROUSIL—One of the consequences of the storm. which visited Dublin on this night week, has been a land-slip between the south front of our beautiful, but nearly useless, Custom-house, and the river. The first appearance of the occurrence was noticed on the morn ing of Thursday last, when a sinking of the earth was observed between the carriage -way and the granite wall with which the quay is faced. Since then a gradual de pression and loosening of the earth has been going on ; but early this morning a rent took place, and the earth sank in some places, and disappeared in others, to the extent, in one instance, of full twenty feet. The line of quay along which the rent has taken place is about 170 yards, and comprises an extent of bank exceeding the whole area of the south front of the entrance, with its noble portico and ponderous dome, and the water of the river is now only some twenty feet from the flagway at the base of the Custom-house. The wall still stands out, with the water at both sides of it ; but it is thought that the subsidence of the very high tide to-day will sweep it out in the river, although it is strongly propped, and lighters are busily engaged in emptying stuff against it, in order to support it against the power of the back water.—Pilot.

THE BATTERY AT BRIGHTON.—The commissioners acting under the Brighton Local Act have for some time had under their consideration a plan for widening the King's-road between Ship-street and Cannon-place, and some months ag o th e y a pp o i n t e d a comm i ttee on th e subject. The battery standing in the way of the pro jected improvement, a request has been made to the Ad- miralty to allow of its removal; and a letter has just been received from the board, giving their assent to the removal of the battery 53 feet to the southward on the beach. By this means the only narrow part of the mag nificent three-miles drive at Brighton, along the front of the town, will be got rid of, besides avoiding the cres cent round the present battery. The new fortification is 6 to be flanked by two bastions, each mounting two guns, iu addition to the strength of the present battery. THE WRECK OF THE SLOOP JANE M'ASKIL OF BELFAST.—We regret to learn that this vessel, which was driven ashore at Annalon during the gale of the 9th ult., has become a total wreck. She was laden with freestone, flagging, and salt, and was on her way from Runcorn to Dublin. The master, John Welsh, who was also the owner, has written a letter to us, expressing the deep gratitude he feels to Lord Newry and Morne for the kind interest he evinced in his behalf since the wreck of his vessel. He mentions that at the auction of the materials on the 12th ult., a great portion of then? was . purchased by his Lordship with the view of disposing o f them again to better advantage in behalf of the owner. He adds that he experienced nothing but sympa thy and kindness in the neighbourhood.—Northern Wh i g. LORD STANLEY'S SPEECH AT LIVERPOOL. (From the Times.) The debates of the agricultural societies have been enlivened by a speech from Lord Stanley. Matters were certainly getting uncommonly prosaic—flat and dull indeed were the orations delivered to the best prize servant—or over the broadest backed bull, or the most unnaturally-magnified potato; and the dis sertations upon the social causes and conditions of falling rents and ill-farmed lands were becoming daily more humdrtim and more monotonous. Into DREADFUL ACCIDENT in a STONE QUARRY AT ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE. TWO MEN KILLED. the - midst of these common -places Lord Stanley has descended like a living man into a company of dummies, and has astonished the good people of Liverpool with a real bona fide extempore harangue. We publish his Lordship's address in another part of our impression of this morning. He has not, indeed, been able to make that which was old itself new again, or to tell us much on the worn-out subjects of which he treats, which all the world did not know bef ore . B u t he has washed the faces of all the old musty " association" topics, bur nished them all up, and set them all going again with renewed life and vigour. On the rather tender question of improvements, for instance, Lord Stanleyireaks into the following graphic reproduction of a very well-established though, like most others, also a double-edged truth : " Some of the old farmers in this country—l mean the real old class—(A laugh)—shrug their shoulders and say, What is the need of all this stir about im provement, and making the land grow so much more ?' By-the-by, it is not so much making it grow more, as making it grow different crops—making it grow wheat instead of weeds.—(Hear.) But some say, 'What is the use of all this ? It is not a question for the farmer. We shall only have our rents increased the more productive the land is.'" If the " real old farmer" were to use such an ar gument as this with respect to improvements in the cultivation, or any expenditure for increasing the fer tility of the land, made at his landlord's expense, and the increased annual return of which, for however short a time it should last, would be manifestly and palpably pro tardo an advantage to himself; or, even were the argument used with „respect to " improve ments" to be effected by the tenant at Ms own expense, and were it also used without reference to the proba bility, Or improbability, of the capital expended being again recovered before the anticipated rise in the rent—then, or in either of these cases, we should cer tainly be very much disposed to answer the " real old farmer" as Lord Stanley does : " Such an argument, allow me to say, is the climax of absurdity. To use a very common phrase, it is cutting off one's own nose to spite one's face. Why should I undertake an improvement because my land lord will benefit by it,' appears to me a very incon clusive and absurd argument. lam not here to dis pute the fact, that every improvement in value, every addition by science to the productive power of the land, everything which adds to its fertility, must in the long run be an advantage to those in whom the fee simple is vested.—(Hear.) But the question is, at the same time that it is an advantage to the land lord, is it not also an advantage to the farmer who occupies the land, and makes his livelihood out of it? I ask no man to undertake an improvement if his own good sense does not lead him to do it. I ask no man to apply any improved mode of cultivation if it does not appear that his own individual advantage would be promoted by so doing; but when farmers argue that because at the expiration of their tenantcy their rents may be increased, it is not worth while to adopt improvements, I must say they take a very short sighted view of their own interests, and must think their landlords very great fools and blockheads." But if the capital laid out is to be wholly the capi tal of the tenant, it is, of course, also manifest, not withstanding Lord Stanley's undoubtedly just reply to the opponents of improvement, that it is unfair to call upon the tenant to begin paying to the owner of the soil his per tentage on the profits of the invest ment, until the capital is first returned. The matter is, indeed, not very complex, and it is no great task, perhaps, for the united wisdom of an agricultural association to discover what is fair and equitable as between landlord and tenant in the matter of money expended in improvements ; but-these are things which it must be admitted, are somehow sometimes for gotten. Lord Stanley has, at all events, the merit of being undeniable. "Give your tenants leases, gentle men, if you persist in expecting any great and per manent improvement of Tour land' to be undertaken by them ; but if you wish to have your land really productive, and well in your own hands, improve it your selvest and then you can fairly -let itas:you like." "If improvements are to add a permanent value to the land, they ought to be undertaken by the landlord him self, charging on the tenant such an amount of inte rest as may repay him for the outlay he has made, and at the same time afford a reasonable profit for the tenant." We have to record the particulars of a melancholy accident that occurred near 'this town, occasoned by the falling in of a portion of a stone quarry, and which, though serious in itself, - might have been attended with still more distressing results. We some time ago noticed the erection of a new barracks in this neighbourhood, the site of which is on the Mossley-road, about a mile and a half from Ashton; the whole is being built with dressed stone, which is obtained from a delph opened for that purpose, about 200 yards distant. It appears that about eight o'clock yesterday morning, just as the workmen were about to leave for breakfast, Mr. Ball, the foreman of the quarry, along with another man, named James Smith, went to the top of the quarry for the purpose of seeing that all was safe. They bad no sooner reached the top, than the whole mass of earth and stone which overhangs the place, in which upwards of forty men were at work, gave way, and came down with a tremendous crash. The man Smith was pre cipitated to the bottom, and buried beneath the ruins; Mr. Ball fortunately escaped by running on one side. It appears the men below heard a slight noise at the time, and, on looking at the " slope," saw the whole mass in motion. They ran in all directions ; one unfortunate man, named John Mottram, in running, fell against a stone, and was also buried in the ruins. Another workman, Michael Callaghan, was endea vouring to get out of the way, but was caught by a piece of stone, and seriously injured. He was shortly afterwards carried out, when Mr. Hunt, surgeon, was sent for, who directed that he should at once be taken to the Manchester Infirmary : none of his limbs were broken. Immediately on the first alarm subsiding, the whole of the men set to work with great vigour to remove the ruins in search of their fellow-work men; and, after removing several tons of s t one an d earth, they found the unfortunate man Smith about ten o'clock ; he was most dreadfully mutilated ; one leg was severed from the body, and found a short dis tance from it. The men set to work again for Mot .tram, and, after working hard for upwards of four hours, found the deceased about the centre of the delph, about two yards and a half below the surface. When taken from under the pieces of stone which had fallen upon him, it was found that the body was literally crushed to pieces, almost every hone being broken. The bodies were taken to the Odd Whim public-house, on the Mottram-road, to await the coroner's inquest. The unfortunate men, Mottram and Smith, lived at Herst Nook ; the former has left a wife and one child, and the latter a wife and seven children, to lament their untimely end. On making inquiry on the spot we find that upwards of 1,000 tons of rock and earth fell at the time the accident took place.--111anchester Guardian of Wednesday. HE BRAZILIAN TARIFF. (From the Manchester Guardian.) The further intelligence from Rio Janeiro respect ng the tariff to be adopted in the Brazils, from and after the 11th of November next, instead of clearing up the doubts which had previously existed in refe rence to the duties proposed to be levied on the leading articles of British manufacture, leaves the matter more uncertain than it was before. We have already stated, that two different pautas, or tariffs, had been prepared and printed, differing widely from each other, as well as from that now in existence, not only in the amount of duties proposed to be levied, but in the mode of charging them ; and now the packet has brought a decree, dated the 12th of August, imposing certain ad valorem duties upon a number of articles specified, and, along with that decree, an entirely new pauta, at variance, not only with the two which preceded it, but also with the decree which appears to have been issued concurrently with it. What these continual changes may mean, we must confess our utter inability to comprehend. Either the Brazilian Government has some curious intrigue on foot, or it labours under a very discre ditable infirmity of purpose. According to the decree to which we have alluded , the duties on nearly all the textile manufactures ex ported from this country—whether of cotton, woollen, linen, or silk—appear to be fixed at one uniform rate—namely, thirty per cent. ad valorem ; being an increase of about five per cent. on the existing duties. By the pauta which accompanies this decree, how ever, instead of this uniform ad valorem duty, a number of specific duties per square vara are im posed, varying greatly in the relation they bear to the actual value of the goods. The following is a list of a few of the duties mentioned in the pauta. The vara, by which they are all to be estimated, is a measure containing forty Brazilian inches, equal to a small fraction more than forty-three English inches. The square vara, therefore, contains about 1,850 square inches English. One thousand rees (a milree) are equal, at the present rate of exchange, to about 2s. id. English.

Lord Stanley has certainly kept himself safely within the proper limits of his subject. He has considered the question before him to be simply what is the best and fairest mode for all parties of gaining legitimately the greatest quantity of produce from a given quantity of land. He has not needlessly travelled into the ulterior questions of the social condition of the people, or expatiated upon the political bearings of the associations over which he was presiding. He has simply considered their object to be that of increasing to the uttermost the available power—and value of land. Whatever is beyond this, as the political weight, the position, and the happiness of the agricultural popu lation, will of course be influenced by an alteration or increase in this available power; but Lord Stanley heaves this influence to the indirect operation of that change and improvement, which alone he is directly seeking to make. This is so far well. As far as it goes, it places agricultural associations in certainly a less objec tionable light than heretofore. It excludes, at any rate, the high and sacred social duties which are in volved in the relations of master and servant—rich and :poor—lord and labourer—from the bandying of public meetings, and the machinery of associations. But we doubt whether Lord Stanley's speech is a trustworthy index of the real state of the case; in fine, that it can hardly be said to represent the senti ments and principles of one single agricultural asso ciation. We shall be truly glad to find that we are deceived ; but in the meanwhile, and until Lord Stanley's example has been more generally followed, we must be allowed to cherish our own misgiv ings as to the object and spirit of the meeting " agri cultural." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN . : — Sin,—l observe by an advertisement in the Dublin Evening Mail of the 21st, that the promoters of a rail way, called " The Irish Great 'Western from Dublin to Galway," have discontinued in their new prospectus to publish, amongst the members of their Provisional Com• mittee, the names of Andrew H. Lynch, Simon Boileau, William Newcombe, and George Antride. Now, as I subscribed to that undertaking partly on the faith of those names, I should be glad to know whether they hare, like Sir John Macneil, the celebrated engineer, disclaimed any connection with that company; as, if so, it is essential that any persons who, like myself, have applied for shares upon the faith of those highly re spectable individuals, should be informed at once how the facts are, as otherwise muck mischief and loss may arise to innocent and misguided parties.

CORONER'S INQUEST.-FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN THE WEST INDIA DOCKS.-OR Wednesday, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital, on the body of John Phillips, aged 17 years. William Tulley deposed that deceased was a seaman on board the ship Prince Albert, lying in the West India Export Dock. On Friday last, deceased went aloft to the main royal mast head, for the purpose of clearing an ensign which had become entangled in the haulyards. Ile was in the act of doing so, when the small flagstaff to which the flag was attached, suddenly snapped with deceased's weight, and he fell from the top of the mast to the deck, a height of upwards of 100 feet. In his fall, he alighted upon another seaman of the vessel, and the latter was thrown with great violence on the deck. Both of the unfortu nate men were immeditely picked up, completely insensi ble, the deceased bleeding profusely from a dreadful wound on his head, and from a severe fracture of the right leg, the bone of which was protruding. The other man had no visible injury. They were promptly con veyed to the above hospital, where deceased died on Monday last. The other man was much injured inter nally, but hopes are entertained of his recovery. Ver dict-" Accidental death."

The police authorities of Heidelberg, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, have, with a view to prevent idleness and drunkenness amongst the labouring classes, issued an order, declaring that any workmen who shall be found in a public-house, except at the hour of meals, shall be fined a sum equal to three francs French for the first offence, and, in addition, be imprisoned three days for a second offence. Public-house keepers are prohibited, on pain of heavy fines, from supplying the workmen with wines or liquors, except at meal-time, and employers who do not report to the authorities the absence of their workmen from their regular occupation, are to be fined twelve francs for each omission. MURDER AT A WEDDING.--MARRIAGE OF THE DYING BRIDEGROOM.--Mr. IV. IV. Rives, of Wilcox county, Alabama, having recently , won the affections of a handsome young lady residing in that vicinity, Miss Sarah Tait, daughter of Captain J. A. Tait, the neces • nary arrangements were completed for their union, and he proceeded to her residence to have the marriage ceremony performed, and to celebrate their nuptials in a becoming manner ; but, on arriving at Captain Tait's dwelling, Mr. Rives and his friends were met near the door by the captain's son, Dr. Chas. Tait, who took Mr. Rives aside for a private interview, while the friends of the latter went into the house. Young Dr. Tait imme diately commencel assaulting Mr. Rives with a cane, and on the latter defending himself, drew a revolving pistol, and shot Mr. Rives through the lower part of the stomach. The murderer fled, it is supposed to the eastern states. The unfortunate man was taken into the house, and died on the following Monday ; his affianced bride, showing her love for him by having the marriage ceremony performed soon after the melancholy occur rence related above, soothing him in their deep affliction, and ministering to him in his dying moments as his wife !—New York Sun, Oct. 1. As Mr. 'William Gallon, publican and dealer in ma rine stores, Low-street, Sunderland, was engaged, on Monday last, in boiling pitch in the kitchen of his dwel ling house, the composition ignited, and in endeavouring to take the vessel off the fire, a quantity of it was scat tered over his clothes, by which he was enveloped in flames, and, being afflicted with paralysis, he was unable to use any effort to extinguish the fire, by which he was so much injured that he died on Thursday morning.— Newcastle Journal. g A h a t sT h E e D in .— g t C he or r T en A t G -d E a A y LL of t r h At e E a N u T ot S m .— en i. t V h e o te e S r c s la o y f se' l3 nn E i the parish of Bearsted , t he whole number, amounting to 39, were provided with a substantial Got supper and a is providedby annually Bearsted-green.

The following is a full and authentic account of the late untoward affair of the Rayo : " Between two and three o'clock in the afternoon of the Ist of October, two vessels were descriod by the sentry on duty, about two miles from the shore, and nearly opposite to the Governor's cottage, at Europa, bearing towards the fort. One was a trader, evidently seeking the shelter of our batteries from the other, which was closely i n c h ase o f h er and which fired a shot at her from a swivel-guh, and then sent an armed boat in pursuit of her, from which eight or nine more shots were fired in succession. At this juncture Captain Aymer, of the Royal Artillery, having seen and heard several shots fired from the schooner's boat, fired a shot over the boat in chase, with the view of bringing her to. Instead, however, of paying any attention to this signal, she attempted to pull out to sea, not, however, until her crew had again fired at the vessel of which she had been in chase, the schooner continuing her course after the trader. A second shot was then fired at the boat, when she returned alongside the schooner, which persisted in continuing to disregard the signal, keeping onwards to Europa Point. The 18-pounder under the flag-staff was then manned, and two shots were successively fired with the same object, in front of the schooner, as well as over her, with as little effect. Another shot was directed at her rigging,which fell astern of her, to which she paid as little attention, continuing to bold her course for Algesiras. Other shots were then fired designedly wide of her. It appears, however, that one of thoe shots took effect upon her hull, and sunk Oer, her master and crew having been picked up by a Portuguese vessel which happened to be at hand. Meanwhile the trader had been detained close to the shore under Europa Point, and her master confirmed the fact that the Rayo and her boat had con tinued to fire at his vessel after she had arrived in the British waters. The catastrophe was per fectly accidental, although the circumstances of the case would fully have authorised the authorities of Gibraltar in firing at the schooner with the view of sinking her, agreeably with the well-known regulations of the port. The trader pursued was not a smuggling vessel, as was at first supposed. The Rayo was a Spanish coast guard cruiser, and her fate was entirely owing to the folly and obstinacy of the person in com mand of her, which left the authorities of the garrison no option in the matter." 'RODUCTION OF BRICKMAKING INTO ENGLAND. -It is generally admitted that the Romans introduced the art of brickmaking into this country, for we have no account of any being used prior to the Roman Conquest. Nor does it appear that the Romans employed this ma terial otherwise than when compelled to do so in the ab sence of other material. The Roman walls were gene rally built with cement and tiles, or flint stores laid in courses at convenient distances to bind the parts together, and at the external and internal angles, to strengthen them. These bands consisted of three or four courses of tiles or stones laid through the wall, and were placed at two or three feet from each other ; the intermediate spaces being raised by a sort of cement composed of mortar and pebbles, and sometimes of rag stones, or such materials as tho country afforded. In this manner the walls of Verulam, Colchester, Chesterford, and other places were built. Alberti tells us, on the authority of Varro, that the Gauls built their houses of baked brick, but this does not correspond at all with the ancient sim plicity of those people, for the use of this material always implies a certain advance in civilisation ; on the other hand, in places where other material could not be pro cured, it is very probable they had recourse to unburned brick or mud.—The Builder. SALE OF AMERICAN HAY, &C.—On Tuesday a sale by auction of 85 bales and 38 half-bales of Ame rican hay, imported per the Westminster, from New York, took place at the offices of Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, brokers, Monument-yard ; this being the second sale of a similar article, but which was of a much su perior quality than that previously offered for compe tition. There were sixteen lots, which realised from 85s. to 965. a ton, a figure from 10s. to 20s. higher per ton than the former parcels. A much larger quantity eould have been disposed of. But for the high freightage, which will only be taken by measure ment and not by weight, a much larger supply would be imported. There were also offered for sale 10,2941b5. of Irish salmon in tins, at sixpence and sevenpence per lb. Thero were 68 lots, the tins containing 21bs , 31bs., and 4lbs. each, and the article was highly approved of. In a few days a quantity of preserved milk from the sister island will be put up to auction, the article being one that has hitherto been sent to the London market from Scotland. MANAGEMENT OF BLISTERS....--Dr. Robertson gives the following direction for the management of blisters, as the result of nearly seventeen years' experience:— The blistering plaster should be spread thinly on paper cr linen, not sprinkled over with powdered cantharides on the surface ; but instead thereof, a few drops of oil\ e oil rubbed on it and allowed to remain. Used in th's way, he says, the blister acts speedily, and without causing irritation : with him it never produces strangury, lle objects to a blister spread upon leather, because the leather, by the heat of many parts of the body, becomes dry, partially crisp, and with difficulty ad heres to the skin, and thereby prevents it from acting well and generally over the whole part intended to be blistered. The blister should be spread thinly, because the outer surface only is efficient ; and when it is used in a thick layer, it becomes irregular, and consequently partial in its operation. The powdered cantharides should not be sprinkled on it, because they will not add to its efficiency, as they act but slightly on the skin ; but the active prin ciple of the Spanish fly being soluble in olive oil, affords a reason for the use of the oil on the surface of the blister. Dr. Robertson concludes by remarking, that every one can make this blister for himself, of the commonest mate rials,' at a very trifling expense, and, if this be any re commendation, it will act three, four, or six times, if un injured, and the oil gently renewed on its surface.— Medical Times. POISONING BY PRUSSIC ACID.—We are cognisant of an instance, where a dispensary physician prescribed prussic acid for a patient, a certain numb( r of drops to be taken during the day. The apothecary, to save him self trouble, we presume, gave the patient, an Irishman, a bottle, containing a quantity of medicinal prussic acid, unmixed with anything else. The man, calculating that if five drops would do him good, twenty or thirty would be much more effectual, took the larger dose, and nearlx , paid with his life for his rashness. In both these exam ples, had the medicine been dispensed for the patients in the doses proper to be taken, the consequences which we have described would have been avoided, and in this consists one of the many advantages possessed by the general practitioner over the pure, 1% he!her physician or surgeon, as he can exhibit the medicine ho orders in properly divided doses, can watch and control its effects„ and increase or diminish the dose as he deems it advis able, while it is notoriously the practice with the pu i ve,. unless when attending in conjunction with a ger.eru/ practitioner, to order medicines to be taken by drops % and of which a quantity is generally directed, sufficient to last for several days or weeks.—Medical Times. THE BELGIAN TARIFF.—The Belgian tariff, which has just been promulgated, appears to be dictated chiefly by hostility to English manufactures. Printed cottons, which hitherto paid 211 francs per 1001 kilogrammes (about 2201 b. English), are now to. pay 325 francs. On coloured or printed silks, this duties have been raised from four francs pet kilogramme to 10 francs. With regard to France, the old duties on cotton cloths aro to remain for twelve months. We perceive that some of our Contemporaries seem to fear, that the effect of these differential duties will be to substitute the printed cottons of France and Saxony for those of Manchester ; but we doubt whether there is much ground for any such ap prehensions. The prints of Rouen and Mulhausen are widely different from those which we export to Bel gium ; and, therefore, unless a considerable change should take place in the fabrics manufactured by our continental rivals, they will not come into very serious competition with our merchants in the Belgian market. —Manchester paper. REQUISITION TO THE MAYOR roil lIIs RE-ELEC TION.—We understand that a requisition, signed by every member of the council of the borough, was pre sented to Alexander Kay, Esq., the mayor, on Monday morning last, requesting that he would allow himself to be re-elected to that office, which he had filled so much to the satisfaction of the council during the past year. We understand that at first the mayor most emphati cally declined the intended honour ; but he was so ur gently pressed by various members of the deputation, that at length he promised to consider the matter ; and ultimately assented to the request of the corporate body. Indeed, whatever may have been his own feelings on the subject, it is obvious that, under the circumstances, scarcely a choice was left to him, the opinion and wishes of the entire council being so emphatically and una nimously expressed. Indeed, as a possessing considerable legal knowledge and exp erience ,being entirely free from the engross gentlem an and ing demands of a private thus able devote his whole public functions as chief magistrate of Man chester,time to his no doubt his re- election will give general business or profession, and we ve satisfaction. —Manchester Guardian. ARGUMENTS TOR THE PATRIOT AND POLITICIAN. It is stated that the distilleries of New York and its faubourys manufacture (Sundays excepted) 25,000 gal. ions of genuine whisky per day. This must be a species of home manufacture that requires no further protec tion. At all events, as the Whigs and Locofocos have now nearly exhausted all other kind of arguments, here is a supply of a new species that is very potent at the polls, and particularly at getting up processions, mass meetings, riots, fights, and rows, and all such necessary elements in electing presidents and other public men to office.—New col--- LIEn York Herald. s,sTRIKE.. Avery general strike has taken place amongst the colliers at Oldbury, for a rise of 6d. per day. On Monday last, at a very early hour, they congregated in crowds of about 150 persons, and went to the different pits to prevent those willing to work from going down. In this way they succeeded in keeping most of the men at play. On Tuesday morning their intentions were frustrated by the very active mea sures resorted to by Captain Bennitt, of Dudley, who was on the ground before five o'clock, and continued to ride through the different works until after seven o'clock, accompanied by Sir W. Russell, Bart., of the 7th Hus sars, stationed at Dudley, and Colonel Hogg, of the county constabulary. Colonel Hogg had a strong police force at West Bromwich, and other places in that loca lity, to act if necessary; and we understand Sir William Russell's troop were in readiness to turn out on the shortest notice, so that we trust the interruption to this important trade will speedily subside.— Wolverhampton Chronicle.
