EDWARD PRICE and CO., Patentees and Sole Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they are in reality much cheaper than these latter; one real Composite Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds. They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are thereflrre both served at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties intending to try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that they are served in the shops with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:" the reason for this caution is given elsewhere. They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell. SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive and injurious Metals, called Nickel and German Silver, sup planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless ALIIATA PLATE. C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ; possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and Sideboard:— Fiddle.

C. Watson's handsomely Illustrated Catalogue and Price Currant is just published, and Families who regard economy and elegance should possess themselves of this useful Book, which may be had Gratis, and Post Free, from the above Address. PATENT PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS. The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings —a larger and a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing. every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell, having perfect combustion, and In full action, emits a light equal to 16 wax candles. C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Polgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant recherche and'new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and Opal.

" Two gentlemen" met in the Liverpool train, And of humour they seemed to possess a rich vein ; Their converse partook of the news of the day, And questions and answers quite filled up the way ; They talk'd of the weather, the crops, and the trade, And versatile talent they quickly displayed. They talk'd of Prince Albert, the Queen, and her trip, And mercantile matters they likewise let slip : " Oh ! Hymn," said one, without question or doubt, " Is firmly establlsh'd all England throughout ; For at Birmingham, Liverpool, London, and Leeds, I hear that his system bravely succeeds; Whilst Manchester, Bristol, and Glasgow likewise, Are daily the scenes of his mighty supplies!" " 'Tis strange," said the other, " and hard to believe, What efforts like his can attempt to achieve ; And the ' mind' that can wield such a mighty design, Is worthy the favours the public assign! Why the men he employs in his vast occupation, To Ten Thousand amount at a fair estimation ! And full Sixty Thousand depend for support On these popular places of fame and resort !" The fact is established beyond contradiction, And must bring to all a most certain conviction, That Hyam derives every chance that arises, And proves he cats sell at one-half the trade prices! 3,000 Waterproof Wrappers, of the most fashionable materials, rem 9s. 6d. each.

The Bankers' Circular, which may be considered al m-st as the oracle of the private banking interest, con tains, in its Number of yesterday, various remarks on the present state of the country issues under the new system, and the recent proceeding of the Bank of Eng land with regard to the charge on transmitting money to different parts of the country. After quoting the details of the plan, as published under this head on Wednesday last, the writer observes, that the disregard manifested by the Directors for the interest of those country bankers who have stipulated to issue the promissory notes of the Bank and no other, is one of the most remarkable fea tures of the proceeding. Most of the bankers have, it is said, faithfully adhred to their engagements, and have paid the Bank at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum for the use of money during a protracted period, when they could have obtained the accomtnodation in the money-market at little more than half the rate, and now the Bank makes use of its newly acquired power by offering premiums to the customers of their confiding agents, to bring business to the Bank of England. These words, which are merely abridged from the original article, seem to convey a charge of ingratitude against the Bank of England, and, further on, that establishment is expressly charged with " grasping at a monopoly." For all remarks of the sort the Bank of England can find a ready answer—namely, that having been deprived of their functions as managers of the cur rency, they must throw all their energy into the banking business, and, in justice to their proprietary, must adopt all measures that will increase the amount of their trans actions, and keep up the rate of their dividend. If the premium which they offer for keeping accounts with them answers the desired end, it is hard to see on what principle they are to shun adopting it. They consider themselves as exactly on the same ground as private bankers, and that all methods that would be legitimate for these may be followed by themselves without hesi tation. The " Circular" reports, that the country issuers are put to much inconvenience by the change of system, the license for a maximum of 8,000,0001., proving not much more than one for an average of 6,000,0001., considering the amount that the banker must keep in his till to avoid risk. Hence the same paper recommends them to adopt any " legitimate means" to supply a deficiency, espe cially in places where there is a reluctance in taking Bank of England notes on account of th&alleged difficulty in detecting forgery at a distance from town. Thus a plan which, it seems, is in vogue among the bankers of the north is recommended for general adoption. These bankers, instead of drawing a bill, say at 20 days' sight, have printed letters of credit, in which they say, " On the day of you will please to honour the draught of A.B. for £—, and place that sum to the debit of our account." Another plan is for a banker to write " ac cepted" or " allowed" across a cheque presented for pay ment, and then to return it to the presenter, that he may use it fur any local purpose as an ordinary note. All these plans of adopting a substitute for a note circula tion seem to mark a strong spirit of opposition among the banking interest to the provisions of the new law. —Mlles. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The greatest activity prevails in every department of this dockyard. stance in the whole of this magnificent scene, was the total absence of everything that could be called accident, either favourable or unfavourable. All was obviously the necessary result of means coolly and accurately cal culated, and applied with the characteristic skill and courage of a British seaman. Captain Mongrer knew what his vessel could do, and he did not scruple to risk the proof. Some naval officers of high rank and of great experience, who witnessed the scene, do not scruple to acknowledge that they for a time anticipated a very dif ferent result, and to confess, that no vessel of tho old construction, whether sailing vessel or steam vessel, could have accomplished what the Princess Maude accom plished yesterday. No sailing vessel or old-fashioned steam-vessel could have gained her offing against such difficulties, as no vessel less sharp than the new iron steamer could hare been made to obey the helm with such miraculous promptitude. This seemed to solve the problem as to the best quality of steam-vessels, at least of the smaller size. The sharp iron steamers are ma nifestly the best. In the hands of such a man as Cap tain Monger a sharp iron steamer is, in the very worst weather, perfectly safe—far safer than a London wherry is in the best weather.—Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary. LORD HARBOROUGH AND THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY. (From the Leicester Chronicle.) Lord Harborough and his steward, Mr. Fabling, had given notice to the railway company that they would not permit any one to enter the park and lands to survey. The railwayists mustered seven strong on Wednesday, and were about to approach the forbidden ground by the Oakham Canal towing-path. Lord Harborough's party, in number nine, met the whole of the enemy on the towing-path, and took them prisoners. They were con veyed, with their flag-staffs, chain, and spirit level, towards Cold Overton Hall, the residence of T. F. Tur ner, Esq., a magistrate, but two of the head men were permitted to go to Oakham for the professional assist ance of Mr. Hough, who proceeded in a chaise to the magistrate's dwelling ; but, unfortunately, Mr. Turner was from home, and on the prisoners asking what was to be done with them, Dawson, the keeper, said it would be better for all parties to separate for the night, which they accordingly did, leaving his Lordship's party in pos session of the spirit level. Another skirmish took place on Thursday. The scene of action was Saxby-bridge, adjoining his Lord ship's park. After the defeat of the surveyors on the previous day, it was generally understood that another attempt on a larger scale was to be made on the fol lowing morning. Consequently, by nine o'clock between thirty and forty of his Lordship's servants assembled at the spot above-named, to prevent the surveyors of the company taking their levels, &c., on the towing-path of the Oakham Canal, and along Stapleford Park. Very soon parties of gentlemen in the employ of the company arrived in chaises, &c., from Melton and Oakham, heading a numb e r of reckless-looking ra gamuffins, carrying flag-staffs, &c., and looking in the distance very like a regiment of sodiers coming to take the place by storm. A lengthened parley took place on the bridge, between his Lordship's steward and solicitor, the clerk and treasurer of the Oakham Canal Company, and the solicitors and surveyors of the Railway Com pany, as to the mode of proceeding to be adopted. Mean time, Lord Harborough's men made preparations for a determined stand on the towing-path on each side of the bridge, by fencing the paths with trays, &c., close to the water's edge. Au attempt was then made by the sur veyors to force their way through the party stationed on the Oakham side of the bridge, but the barrier was too firm to be broken, and they had to beat a retreat. After this, some further delay took place, during which other bodies of men from Oakham and Stamford were added to the railway regiment, and a fresh reinforcement joined his Lordship's standard. Four or five of the county police now also came up and hated it to be their inten tion, if possible, to prevent a breach of the peace, and that they should arrest the first person who committed an assault. Both parties were then desired to lay aside their weapons, consisting of " stout shillalaghs," &c., and ordered not to strike any blows, but simply to try their opposite strength by pushing. A " grand stand" was then made by Lord Harborough's party below the bridge, and -nearest Melton, who stood " wedged together," and forming a living and very formidable looking barrier. The surveyors next placed rows of their men with their backs to the faces of the Earl's party, and set others in an opposite position to force the way. An almost indescribable scene now took place. The railwayists exerted their utmost strength, but so firm did his Lordship's party retain their ground, that more than one were actually forced up " high in the air" between and rolling over the heads of the contend ing parties. Others were forced through the liedg,, tumbling over each other, and nearly filling the ditch beneath, amidst the shouts of the " leaders" and the laughter of the numerous spectators. Great confusion now ensued, the two parties mixing together, and in the tumult and dirt becoming almost undistinguishable by each other. In the midst of this confusion the surveyors succeeded in getting the chain on the forbidden ground. Lord Harborough's men then took forcible possession of the chain, which, in the scuffle to recover it, was broken in one or two places. A fine chase was then had for about a quarter of a mile down the towing-path, afford ing to the numerous spectators on the bridge almost as amusing and exciting a pleasure as a " run after rey nerd." Another barrier was then about to be formed,' when a truce was shouted by the railwayists, and it was finally agreed that each party sh ou ld w i t hd raw t h e i r forces, an that the matter should be judicially brought before the magistrates by issuing a summons for assault against one or two of the men of each party, which, it is understood, will be heard at the petty sessions in Melton on Tuesday next. The clerk and treasurer of the Oak ham Canal Company were present during the whole time of the skirmish, sanctioning Hord Harborough's proceedings, they having some time previously given his Lordship an exclusive right to the towing-path. (FRO3I A CORRESPONDENT.) Late on Friday night Mr. Fabling, the steward, heard a rumour that the railway party intended to make another attempt on the following morning. As early as four o'clock on Saturday morning arrangements were making by all parties to muster their forces, and prepare for attack and defence. The railwayists obtained large bodies of stout men from Stamford, the Peterborough, and the Midland Railways, part having been during the night in the public-houses in Oakham, others at Melton and the distant villages. The attackers had furnished themselves with staves, in addition to the staffs with iron points at one end, and a formidable bill-hook used by the surveyors, Messrs. Cope, Colthurst, Parker, and others, in their business. The steward and solicitor had pro cured waggons and strong hurdles as barricades, and a fire-engine to pump on the enemy at the point expected to be first attacked. The following letter was served upon one of the clerks of Messrs. Borridge and Macaulay, at the Crown Inn : "Oakham, Saturday morning, quarter-past six o'clock. " Lord Harborough, the Oakham Canal Company, and the Midland Railway Company. " Dear Sirs—l was very sorry to receive information early this morning of your intention of again attempting by force to go along the towing-path, and Lord Har borough and Mr. Fabling's land, contrary to the provi sions made by you and your agents on Thursday last. You then agreed that all hostilities should cease till we had been before the magistrates. I beg to give you notice, although I much dislike physical force, that we are fully prepared for you. We have barricaded the towing-path, and have in readiness a few cannon from his Lordship's yacht. If you force us to use them, as a last resort, the blood be upon your. heads. " I am, dear Sirs, yours faithfully, " WILLIAM LATIIAM." At seven o'clock, an attempt was made by a party of about ten men, on that part of the canal towing-path, adjoining the park, nearest Melton, but this small party could make no impression. At the same time (seven o'clock), a party of nearly one hundred men climbed over the park paling on the front nearest Oak-ham, headed by Mr. Morrison, solicitor, Mr. Cope, Messrs. Cope, Rooper, Colthurst, and other surveyors, and com menced measuring with three or four chains, the party being so formidable, and his Lordship's retainers having been dispersed at several points in the park, containing 800 acres of land. The force at the part where the breach was made was too small to resist them, and were mere spectators. By the time the surveyors had reached opposite to his Lordship's beautiful cottage where he resides, Mr. Fab ling, on a pony, came up, bringing with him a few of his troops. Mr. Cope told him that, if he wished not to be hurt, he had better retire, and on his refusing to do so the railway men were ordered to remove him. Mr. Fabling ordered the chains to be taken up ; his situa tion at that moment was a perilous one, but his Lord ship's tenants and servants rallied round him for his protection, began lo feel confidence in their leader and their own strength, and the fight became general. 'The noise was so great that it was heard in the village two miles off. The spikes of the railway party were thrust into the sides of the defenders of the park ; and, after a battle of about five minutes, and many broken heads, wounded faces and sides, the lower grade of the intruders gave way. At this moment Lord Harborough, accompanied by Lady Harborough, n1) - peered, but being so weak from a very severe illness, was rot able to get near to the scene of action. Tho noise of the affray having brought together more parties ts id of his Lordship's men, it was event the r ailwayists must beat a retreat, their stall's and chains having b een broken into many pieces. p i n re st the e e s n a i ' o e r r n e i n s g e , n inftoormt i h neg m tb a h g ,: i m str o at r es th a e nd con p t o e l m ice . from home, and earl the affray taking place e e m arl;, m th g ey were , not able : plated attack, but som s e o o v f er t ) h to reach the spot in time. Threats were used of fetching moreal: o c men the railwayists. but as the first party be e di spe r sed, every minute from the villages of Freeby, Saxby, Wymondham, Whissondine, Teigh, and other places, the day closed leaving his Lordship in undisturbed posses sion of his park. We are informed that it is essentially necessary that SERIOUS CASE of INFANTICIDE. APPREHENSION OF THREE RESPECTABLE PERSONS SUPPOSED TO BE IMPLICATED. WOLVERHAMTON, SATURDAY.—An investigation is now going forward in this town, in which a lady of hitherto respectable character, together with a married sister and a young surgeon, is charged as being im plicated in a case of infanticide. On the 28th ult., the body of a female child was found dead in Queen -street, at the back of the house of Mr. Quinton, surgeon. It ap . pears that for some time previous to the finding of the ' body, Mr. Hildreth, printer, residing in the town, had paid daily visits to Mr. Quinton's surgery, alway s in quiring very particularly for Mr. Sheriff, Mr. Quinton's assistant. Mr. Quinton interrogated his assistant as to the cause of these frequent visits, and was informed Mr. Hildreth wished him (Mr. Sheriff) to procure abortion "for a person of great respectability, secrecy being gua ranteed, and money no object." Mr. Sheriff asked Mr. Quinton if he would attend ? but that gentleman refused to do so. Mr. Sheriff informed Mr. Quinton that the party was Miss Railton, of the Post-office ; and subse quently applied to Mr. Doubler, of the same place, to procure abortion for a party, describing her in terms similar to those he had used to Mr. Quinton, but omitting the name. Mr. Doubler also very pro perly declined to attend. Since the finding of the body at Mr. Quinton's, 'the suspicion at tached to Miss Railton that the child was hers, and she was eventually apprehended by Colonel Hogg, of the county constabulary. She at first denied having had a child, but since her apprehension has made disclosures seriously affecting Mrs. Hildreth (her sister) and Mr. Sheriff, Mr. Quinton's assistant. From her statement it appears that on last Sunday night three weeks, at Mr. Hildreth's house, at about twelve o'clock at noon, Mr. Sheriff went and performed an operation, and she was in dreadful pain and agony from the time he had dune this until she was delivered of a child. The body was taken away three or four nights afterwards, and the materiel question in the investigation is, whether the body found is that of the same infant. From the post mortent exa mination made by Mr. Fowke, there appears no doubt that the child found upon Mr. Quinton's premises was born alive. Mr. Sheriff; Miss Railton, and Mrs. Hil dreth are in custody. Colonel Hogg and the police have been most indefatigable in their endeavours to further the ends of justice with regard to this mysterious affair. A coroner's inquest, under the presidency of Mr. Phillips, one of the Coroners for Staffordshire, has been held some days, and stands adjourned until Thurs day next. In the present state of the inquiry, it is not deemed right to publish the evidence until the conclu sion. It is almost needless to add, that the subject has created the greatest sensation in Wolverhampton. ELECTION of LORD RECTOR of the UNIVERSITY of GLASGOW. (From the Glasgow Argus, Friday, Nov. 15.) The election of Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow took place this day, Professor Hill presiding, in the absence of Principal Macfarlan, who was unable to attend from indispositior. The candidates were the Earl of Eglinton (Tory) and Andrew Rutherfurd, Esq., M.P., late Lord Advocate for Scotland (Liberal). The votes in the four nations, into which the University is divided, were as follow : Natio Glottiana Natio Loudoniana Natio Transforthana Natio nothsciana. Rutherfurd. Eglinton. 114 ... 79 30 ... ' 30* 29 ... 25 104 ... 52 277 185 Majority for Rutherfurd The Liberal candidate was thus elected by a majority of the naticns, and by a gross majority of 92 votes. Last year the Liberal majority was 59. * In this nation the numbers being equal, Professor Ramsay, who presided, gave his casting vote in favour of Lord Eglinton. TIIE INNHOLDEES' COMPANY AND ALDERMAN GIBISS.—REFUSAL TO DRINK THE HEALTH O►v THE NEW LORD Mavort.—The annual dinner of the Inn holders' Company took place on Friday evening, at their Hall in Dowgate-hill, and nearly 200 of the Livery be longing to the Company attended the festival. The pro ceedings exhibited up to a certain period the greatest conviviality and harmony, but when the officiating Chairman, Mr. Tanner (in the unavoidable absence of the Master of the Company), gave as a toast the health of the present Lord Mayor (Gibbs), the proposition was met with one of the loudest bursts of indignation that ever rang within the walls of that venerable buil ling. Several members of the Livery of this Company ad dressed tke Chairman in opposition to this toast, and ex pressed in no measured terms the feeling of disapproba tion which they declared to be general amongst the Livery at the conduct of the Court of Aldermen, who were really the instruments in the election of this unac countable Mayor. It was explicitly and emphatically denied that the Livery had anything to do with the elec tion of Aldermen Gibbs, but asserted that it was a gang of hired persons packed into Guildhall that had carried the show of hands in favour of Mr. Gibbs and Alder man Wood. Had a poll been demanded, the result would have been that both the latter mentioned parties would have cut a most contemptible figure in point of numbers. The Chairman declared that the toast he pro posed was complimentary to the office of Lord Mayor, and not to the man who filled it ; but the opposition was persisted in after this announcement still more furiously than before, and ultimately the Chairman was comp; led to withdraw the toast, amidst the cheers of nearly the whole assembly. The asperity created by it speedily became softened down, and the remainder of the evening was spent in great hilarity. RAILWAYS IN GERMANY. —The twenty-four German railways, on which circulation is now established over an extent of abott 1,660 miles, carried during last August 1,183,553 passengers, and earned 825,631 thalers. In August, 1843, at which time some of them were not opened, the number of passengers amounted to 1,063,014, and the receipts to 705,383 thalers. The German railways have carried from the Ist of January to the 31st of August, 6,718,108 persons. It is said that the order has been given in high quarters to construct a railway from Cologne to Minden, from Dortmund to Bielefeld, by Camen, Hamm-Adlen, Oelde, with a branch to Munser, and at the same time another from Cassel, by Neechares, Lippstad, Soest, Warl, Vunx, with a branch to Dortmund.

UNJUST ACCUSATION FOR FELONY AT YORK ASSIZES.—HARD CASE.—At the Yorkshire Assizes last year, a person named Joseph Mason, who resided 'at Clifton, near York, was tried for having burglariously entered a house at Hall Moor, and was sentenced to twenty years' transportation. From the man's previous good character and some other circumstances which were i b t o te u d rho the od crime where i h nl e pn w te -a d s t k o n h o i w in n , stated to Sir James Graham at th e ti me , a strong feeling that prevailed he ehad i n nut the com m itted and strenuous exertions were made by Mr. Simeon Hutchinson, Captain Darnell, and other respectable individuals, to obtain a reprieve of his sentence. Their efforts, however, were unsuccessful, and the poor fellow was sent to Norfolk Island. This week, however, two men who have been committed to York Castle for felony have confessed that they, together with two other persons now at large, committed the burglary at hall Moor for which poor Mason has been transported. The two pri soners haVe also confessed that four other persons have been unjustly transported for offences which were perpe trated by the Hall Moor burglars. These extraordinary statements have been promptly communicated to the Secretary of State.—Leeds Mercury. CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER.—COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONERS.—WiIIiam Welton and Mary Charlotte Field Larkin, the parties in custody on suspicion of having caused the death of a male infant child, born of the latter prisoner, of the body of which, however, no traces have been discovered, were on Friday brought up before a very full bench of magistrates for final examination. The case excited the greatest interest, and the justice room was inconveniently crowded during the investiga tion, which lasted nearly three hours. The facts of the case have been frequently before the public. At the close of the evidence Mr. Durrant applied to the bench to hear the examination of witnesses, who he said were present, in proof of an alibi on the part of Welton on the evening of the 13th of October. The prisoner expressed his anxiety that they should be heard ; but the bench, (who had the assistance of John Disney, Esq.) declined to adopt that course, the Chairman observing that the defence of an alibi might be made in another quarter.— The prisoner declined saying anything at that time, but repeated that he wished to have the matter cleared Up by his witnesses as quickly as possible.—Mr. Thompson, on the part of the female prisoner, stated that she in tended to offer no defence upon her examination.— The room was cleared of strangers, and after a consultation of about half an hour, the bench came to the decision of committing both the prisoners for trial at the next assizes. Upon application the bench consented to take bail for the appearance cf Welton, fixing . the . each;/recog-ni . zances at himself in 2001., and two sureties in 100 but we believe up to the time at which the bench rose the sureties had not been submitted for the approval of the magistrates.—(Abridged from the Second _Edition of the Chelmsford Chronicle.) NEW LAW OF S E TTLEMENT.—The Poor-law Com missioners have requested the opinion of the principal rate-payers on this Bill, which will be introduced into Parliament next sessio n . The most material clauses are as 10 oe 11 • ist It repeals the former Law of Settlement, except in adjudged cases. 2d. It gives every one a set tlement where he was born—when that cannot be ascer tained, then the party takes his father's or mother's set tlement. 3d. Whenever a party has resided five years in a place, whether English, Irish, or Scotch, he is to be irremovable. The effect of the clauses will be to throw almost the entire burthen on towns and exempt the country parishes. We quite agree in the hardship • of removals, but then the expense of supporting such per sons should be borne by the whole union—why is land to be exempted from all taxation ? If the towns get the benefit of the poor man's labour so does the country, and the country also gets the advantage of his wages in the purchase of provisions. Surely both town and country should contribute to his support. We believe the Bill will be submitted to the different vestries for their opinion. —Carlisle Journal.

BRITISH SEAMANSHIP in a STORM BOULOGNE, Nov. 13.—We have had here for the last four or five days a succession of tempests almost without example for their duration and their fury. Happily there have been no wrecks in our immediate neighbour hood, but I heard this morning that many fishing vessels have been driven ashore, with a melancholy loses of lives, below Etables, not far from the scene of the loss of the Reliance and the Conqueror, a year or two ago. At Boulogne the sea has been frightful, and has nearly destroyed the whole of the solid sea wall at the back of the Etablissement erected in 1840. It is not, however, with the purpose of communicating events un happily occurring too generally and too frequently to excite much interest, and which, occurring out of our own island, have less than the common claim to atten tion ; it is not with this purpose that I write, but in order to lay before the public in your columns the solution of a problem of great importance, as I think, in the ad vancement of the science of navigation—particularly of steam navigation. At noon yesterday, "when the tempest was at the highest (the sea wall at the Etablissement had just fallen), I was on the Pont, taking leave of some friends about to depart in the diligence for Calais, when I was startled by a rush of some hundreds of persons, chiefly sailors and fishermen, in the direction of the sea. This was the more remarkable, as the rain was descending in torrents at the time, and I concluded that some hapless vessel had struck. Emerging from the shelter of the Messagerie, I ran with the crowd, and soon ascertained that the object attracting it was not a vessel ashore, but a vessel in sight—an occasion of almost equal horror. Indeed, both were regarded as involving the same cer tainty of destruction. Such was the intense interest excited by the announcement that, notwithstanding the sheets of rain descending, more than 1,500 persons had in the course of a few minutes—l might say a few seconds—assembled on the Eastern Jetty, and the scene which they witnessed was assuredly one to justify their excitement. The approach to Boulogne harbour, as you know, lies between two long jetties about 60 yards apart, and ex tending between dangerous sand-banks, some 600 or 700 yards in the sea. These jetties run pretty nearly north and south, and that nearest to the Calais side is called the East Jetty ; the other the West Jetty. The West Jetty is somewhat the longer, and has a lighthouse at the seaward end of it. As the wind yesterday blew south and by west (the worst wind in the Channel, as all sailors know), the Western Jetty was exposed to the whole rage of the sea —such a sea as few have ever seen, and was, for the most part, hidden by the waves that rolled over it. It served, however, as a protection to the East Jetty. Within a few moments after " a vessel in sight" was announced by the raising of a flag, the E tstern Jetty was, as I have said, covered with, at the very least, 1,500 persons. The vessel that l'ad an attraction so powerful appeared to be just outside t f the dangerous bar, not more than 100 yards from the end of the Western Jetty. She was struggling hard, but struggling gallantly, against the tide, the tempest, and the current of an awful sea, to gain an offing to the westward before making the attempt to enter the harbour. Though so near, the vessel could not be distinguished with any approach to certainty through the thick_ rain. However, the opinion of the crowd decided at once upon the vessel and the com mander. "No other vessel but the Princess Maude, no other captain but Captain Monger, would dare to face Boulogne Bay to-day." The conjecture was cor rect ; it was the Princess Maude and the gallant corn mander named. Whatever opinion, however, had been formed of either ship or captain, the most painful feelings of apprehension were excited by her situa tion for some time. It was long doubted whether the great steam power of the vessel could win the offing necessary to give her a free sweep in between the light house and the bar. " She will do it"—" It is impossible," ran from mouth to mouth in anxious whispers ; the pre • vailing feeling was however, desponding. At length the first great point was gained—the noble little vessel won her way considerably westward of the lighthouse. Next came a severer trial, to round into the harbour without overshooting it, from the combined force of the storm, tide, and sea ; for to overshoot the harbour would be to go directly ashore. Having secured his offing, Captain Monger brought his vessel about ; and, to the amaze ment of the timid and un .kilful, spread a broad extent of canvas, under the tremen lons gale, bearing down upon the mouth of the harbour with a rapidity perfectly ter rific. As the vessel passed the lighthouse, almost every heart sunk under the impression that nothing could check or divert her direct progress to the sands. A stifled moan was heard through the crowd, when,as if by magic, the sails dropped instantly, the vessel changed her course full 90 degrees, and then shot up the harbour at the rate of at least 15 miles an hour. The enthusiasm of the spectators found expression in a loud cheer, which was ' again and again repeated. The most striking circum- D AVIES'S CANDLES, sd. and 51d. per lb.
