pace of the four-year old, Running Rein. Indeed, had this notorious horse been out of the race, it is hard to say how it would have been at the finish. The fact, however, of his being advertised for sale by Messrs. Tattersall, on the Thursday in the race week, has with many confirmed the opinion, that he is not the best St. Leger horse in the far-famed Pigburn, or rather the Whitewall establishment. VALERIAN is also in the same stable ; he is a chesnut colt, by Gladiator, out of Amadou: He has forfeited hitherto in all his engagements—no very good sign. un less he is to come up.m the racine , world like a thunder clap, a n d f r ight en th em f rom their propriety. At pre sent he reposes under the shades of darkness that beautiful obscurity which is rendered ridiculous by de feats. But who knows ? The question has been started—is THE PRINCESS the best of Scott's lot ? She has; we are tuld, " picked" her foal. She won the Oaks easily by two lengths ; but she got a woful " sobbing" for the Nassau Stakes at Good wood. She is a beautiful creature—in shape, remark ably fine—in action, truly splendid. But when she is being saddled, spectators had better keep at a respectful distance, or she will make them rue for their ungallant intrusion into her august presence. Most probably she will prove the winner of the Park Hill Stakes on the Friday, unless sister of Martingale can couple her on that occasion, which seems doubtful. Many persons would be highly gratified to see " The Squire" win the race which bears the name of the family residence of Colonel St. Leger. Then comes, with all his blushing honours thick upon him, the Goodwood favourite RED DEER, by Venison, out of The Soldier's Daughter, the property of the Duke of Richmond. His public performances, taking all matters into consideration, entitle him to maintain a very prominent position in public estimation up to the very time when he appears at the post, ready to contend for the palm of victory. It is true, he was defeated last year at Goodwood ; but he proved the victor in a common canter at Chester for the Trades man's Plate (two miles and a quarter), defeating Alice Hawthorn and a large field ; but the weight which he carried on that occasion were very light—viz., 4st, while that of Alice was more than double. But he has not been spared in other respects ; and his public perform ances at several places attest his superior qualifications —witness Bibury, Stockbridge, Liverpool, and Good wood. He is trained by Kent ; and, no doubt, every care and attention will be bestowed upon him, as he comes of a running family, in order that, if possible, he may eclipse his competitors from the Pigburn stables. We are told, from the best authority, that at Warwick, the other day, " Red Deer was a great favourite at 6 to 1, and it is especially to be recorded that Bill Scott, an ardent thick and-thin Red Deerite, and as violent an opponent of Lord Stanley's horse, not satis fied with his bet of 2,0001. even, laid at Liverpool after the St. Leger, was this (Tuesday) afternoon still more resolutely bent on mischief ;' he laid 5002 even, and 6001. to 5001. six times on Red Deer against Ithuriel, the odds at the time, according to the market laying Vices, being something under 6 to 4 the other wa y. lie also laid large sums on The Cure against Bay Momus, at three and four to one." This looks rather ominous. The correct judgment of this celebrated jockey, with regard to the superior qualities and capa bilities of a race-horse, even at, seemingly the most trivial glance, is pretty well established. He knocks down Ithuriel with Red Deer; he puts the extinguisher over Bay Momus with the Cure. According to this proceeding, what chance has his brother, unless it be with the Princess, or Valerian, or Joe Lovell, who, no doubt, ran well at York? Certainly, this proceeding is calculated to stagger more persons than one. It is un derstood thatiJames Robinson, the prince of jockeys, will mount Red Deer on the eventful day. The UGLY BUCK and VATTEL are declared not to start. Then comes FOIG-A-BALLAGII (clear the way), with high reputation from the Emerald Isle. He is by Sir Hercules, out of Guiccioli, and trained by the vete ran Forth. He ran third to The Cure for the Cham pagne last year—Sister to Martingale second. It is very probable that he will run a good horse; and there is no doubt that his qualities will be brought to bear by the Judicious and experienced hand of his trainer. The friends of Foig-a-Ballagh are said to fear nothing but The Cure. Mind what ye are about, my masters? Colonel Cradock's INFIDEL, by Voltaire, out ofFanny, trained by Lumley, of Middleham, is a fine strapping horse. He ran third to the Cure for the Dee Stakes at Chester—lthuriel second. But the Chester course was not the place to bring out his capabilities. The judg ment of Colonel Cradock—witness Sally, who defeated tine Bonnet, Pagan, and others—is well-known. If In fidel comes to the post in excellent condition, he will not dim the reputation of his sire. It is, however, reported that he is amiss. Sim Templeman will ride Infidel. Dawson's lot, including LIGHTNING, G ODF REY, and „ ELEmecncrs, do not excite much attention. Their per ro!manees, with others, do not entitle them to hold a pro minent position. Again recurs the question—" What's to win ?" Here 1 11 the answer—THE CURE FIRST —and a Lard struggle for second between RED DEER and THE PRINCESS. MARTINGALE. LITERATURE. ARTHUR ARUNDEL. 3 Vols. Colburn, London, 1844. We have here another of the numerous tales that have appeared within the last ten or a dozen years on the subject of the English Revolution of 1688, which Zsas Mr. H orace S m ith, th e au th or , j us tly observes -43) b "n panegyrized by historians much too highly, Theentae is they have applied to it the term " glorious." exceedingly fertile in point of incident, and_ is far su p er i or t o the author's first and best . Own work, " Brambletye House," inasmuch as there 13 , less of an ambitious straining after effect; and tne various personages of the narrative are introduced With more skill, and made to play their parts with more propriety. One of the most entertaining chap ters in the work is that which gives an account of Arthur Arundel's visit to France ; where he meets with the Grande Monarque at Versailles, and is introduced 'l9 the celebrated Madame de Maintenon—that maud lin and consummate hypocrite, of whom, however— a,s vve gather from one or two passing remarks—Mr. L l°raee Smith seems to entertain a very favourable o-.• i en on. TALES OF THE CAMP AND CABINET. 2 Vols. Newby, London, 1844. We should have guessed this work to be the produc tion of a military man, and one, too, who has seen mach service, even had not the name of the 'author— Colonel Montmorency Tucker—appeared on the title- Page, for the tales, for the most part, have reference to military matters, and exhibit a minute acquaint ance with the subject, which no unprofessional man The have displayed with so much ease and readiness. xhe narrations contained in the volumes are supposed t ° be related by a party of veteran officers of different nations, who are in the daily habit of meeting each Other in the reading-rooms of the city of Nice, and 11 ' 110 , as they become better .acquainted, resolve on e stablishing a club among themselves, " for the sole Purpose," says the author in his introduction, "of I ntercourse and amusement, and of beguiling away t he time in anecdotes of their lives,military adventures, and tales, either of the camp or cabinet." The stories, generally speaking, are written with spirit and judg ment, and with an unassumingness of manner that at 1s the conciliates the reader's good opinion.

Both females ire of the middle-age, and whose deaths occurred on "nutty night last, during the thundeGoodhue, the d r-storm. It ap Pea red from the evidence that Mrs. e teased, had been to Higham with her sister and hus ti:ncra mother, and was ; returning across the fields to eir own home at Oak-street, Frindsbury, between tight and nine o'clock, when it came on to rain, accom t"lied with th un d er an d li g ht n i ng .

PREPARATIONS AT DUNDEE The special constables, headed by the general corn. FOR THE RECEPTION OF HER MAJESTY. missioners of police, will be intermixed ~with the (From the Dundee Warder of Tuesday.) other bodies. The Harbour Trustees held a special meeting on The superinte n d en t o f p o li ce an d hi s ass i s t an t s w ill Thursday, at which an extract of the minute of the place the sever a l b o di es . Committee of Council was laid before them. Th e So soon as her Majesty shall have entered her royal suggestion Was cordially approved of, and Lord Viscount Duncan, Messrs. Sturrock, Neish, Brown, Murray, and Martin, nominated a Sub-Committee for that purpose. The Trustees also placed at the dis posal of their Committee, any sum the said Committee might require for defraying the expenses of the ar rangements at the harbour. An efficient joint Com mittee being thus appointed, they commenced ope rations, and held various meetings. The greatest harmony and cordiality have all along marked their deliberations ; and should they continue as they have begun, of which we have little fear, we doubt not the result will be, that the whole arrangements of doing honour to her Majesty, and providing at the same time for the safety of the inhabitants, will be such as to entitle them to the warmest thanks of the com munity. All the other public bodies were equally alert. The Trinity Board, in particular, were expert in testify ing their anxiety to render their valuable services. Last evening Mr. James M'Ewan, secretary to the Trinity House, having received a communication from an official quarter, stating that it was expected the House would pilot her Majesty into the port, was instructed to address a letter to the Earl of Hadding ton, First Lord of the Admiralty, stating the high honour the Board would feel in performing such an important duty. The following official answer was returned : carriage, the bodies inside the triumphal arch wi proceed from the harbour in the following order : The town officers with halberts ; the magistrates and town council, and the Member for the burgh and the town clerks in carriages; her Majesty and the royal suite, accompanied by the royal guard of honour, &c.; the Lord Lieutenant and his suite; the harbour trustees ;' the sheriffs; the justices of the Peace ; the magistrates and councils of other burghs ; and the clergy. DUNDEE, WEDNESDAY, TEN o'CLocic.—Accord ing to arrangement, the tolling of the bells at a quarter before five o'clock this morning, announced the appearance of her Majesty's squadron at the mouth of the Firth of Tay. The excitement of the preceding evening was in a great measure renewed by large numbers coming down to the shore endea vouring to see the royal squadron. A deputation of Council proceeded to the royal yacht, and learned that her Majesty was to land about eight o'clock. About seven o'clock people began to assemble all along the line; the parties possessed of tickets took their places on the platforms erected on either side of the triumphal arch, and these, when filled with elegantly-dressed ladies, presented a striking and animated appearance. A barge covered with crimson cloth was moored at the eastern termination of the centre quay, along which carpets were stretched for about 100 yards to the middle of the quay, where her Majesty was expected to enter her carria ) and "Admiralty, Sept. 7, 1844. " Sir, —I am desired by Lord Haddington to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter of the sth inst., and to request you will have the kindness to convey to the incorporation of the Trinity House of Dundee his acknowledgments and best thanks for the valuable offer of their services to conduct the royal yacht with the Queen on board, and the vessels of the at tendant squadron, into the port of Dundee ; and which loyal offer Lord Haddington is certain will be graci ously received by her Majesty. " In at once accepting the proposal of the Trinity House of Dundee, Lord Haddington only directs me to add, that Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence will be made fully acquainted with the signals to be made by the Perth, according as that vessel sights the royal yacht by night or day, and that his Lordship will be di rected to communicate with the Perth as soon as pos sible after falling in with her ; and to avail himself of the directions and local knowlege of the Dundee Tri nity Board in conducting the royal yacht into the river Tay. " I am further desired by Lord Haddington to state, for the information of the Board of the Trinity House of Dundee, that it is the present intention of the Queen to embark at Woolwich at nine o'clock on Monday morning, the 9th inst., with the view, if possible, of being off Dundee on Tuesday night.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient ser van t, " W. A. B. HAMILTON, Captain R.N., " Private Secretary of the First Lord of the Admiralty." The weather on Friday was every way calculated to damp the ardour of the citizens. A dense fog en veloped the town the whole of the day, and in the evening the rain fell heavily. Notwithstanding the unpropitiousness of the wea ther on Friday, the joint Committee were unremit ing in making their arrangements. The contract for erecting the triumphal arch across the entrance to the Middle Quay was obtained by Mr. Alexander Boyd, cabinet-maker, and next morning, almost as soon as the sun emerged from the sparkling bosom of the German ocean, preparations were made for commenc ing operations. The arch will have a splendid effect when finished. It represents a freestone building ;in breadth upwards of 80 feet, and in height, to the top of the flag-staff, nearly 100 feet. There are three arches. The centre one surmounted with the royal arms, and underneath in gold letters, " 'Welcome Victoria," and round the arch, "Albert." Over the whole floats the royal standard. The design is the workmanship of ..Mr. Leslie, harbour engineer, and the decorations by Mr. Cowie, painter, Reform-street; and we need not say in such hands it will be an erec tion every way worthy of the occasion. On each side of the Middle Quay, commencing a few feet inside of the triumphal arch, extensive scaffolding is being erected, capable of accommodating 1,200 individuals. Thewhere the 60th riflemen were stationed. The pro , vost, magistrates, town council, and harbour trustees assembled at the place of landing. The morning was very fine, the bright sunshine being tempered by a cool sea-breeze. The yards of the vessels in the docks were manned, and the vessels themselves were decorated with flags. Every arrangement seemed to be complete, and all awaited her Majesty's arrival. Among the noblemen and gentlemen present on the quay were the Earl of Airlie, the Earl of Morton, Lord Ogilvie, Lord Dunca n , Sir N e il D oug l as , Com mander of the Forces in Scotland • Sir James Ram say of Banff, Colonel Dalgairns, Mr. Lindsay Car negie; Mr. Wedderburn of Pearsie, Mr. Clayhills of Invergowrie, Sheriff L'Amy, Sheriff-Substitute Hen derson, Mr. Wedderburn of Berkhill, Mr. Proctor of Glammis, Mr. Ogilvie of Ruthven, Mr. Guthrie, younger, of Guthrie, Mr. Balfour Ogilvie of Tanna- - dice, Mr. John Graham, also the town clergy, and deputations with addresses from the neighbouring towns of St. Andrew's, Arbroath, Brechin, and Montrose. At twenty minutes past eight the royal standard on the yacht was lowered, and a gun fired, indicating that her Majesty was about to leave the vessel. At half-past eight the royal barge was seen approaching, and in a few minutes more it touched the landing place, where Lord Charles Wellesley and Colonel Bowater attended to assist. His Royal Highness Prince Albert stepped out upon the covered barge, and assisted her Majesty to do so. The Princess Royal was lifted out of the barge by her attendants, and the party began to ascend the covered steps to the quay; her Majesty leaning on the right arm of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who held in his left hand the Princess Royal. Not having the sharp eyes of ladies, I cannot minutely describe to you the precise dress of her Majesty, but she was very neatly and plainly dressed in mourning —a black dress and scarf trimmed with French crape or gauze, with a plain neat black silk bonnet with crape flowers. His Royal Highness Prince Albert had on a dark-coloured coat, with light trousers and a white hat, round which was a simple band of crape.- The Princess Royal was dressed similarly to the Queen, but with a white straw bonnet trimmed with plain black silk ribbons. While her Majesty, the Prince, and Princess, were ascending the steps, the feeling of royalty seemed almost lost in the touching domestic-like appearance the party presented. Her Majesty was received by the Provost, Mr. Duncan, the Member for Dundee, and authorities, on the quay, t o w h om s h e grac i ous l y bo wed and smiled, and also to the crowds around, from whom tremendous acclamations resounded on all sides mingled with the roaring of the saluting guns and the ringing of the town-bells. The royal party was followed by the Earls of Aberdeen and Liverpool ; and to the former of these noble Lords the addresses to her Majesty, and the ad dress and burgess tickets for Prince Albert, were given in charge by the Magistrates. They :were fol lowed by the rest of the royal suite. At the end of the covered way, her Majesty and Prince Albert entered the first carriage; the Princess Royal, with the Ladies in Waiting, in the second ; Lords Aber deen and Liverpool, and the suite, following in two other carriages. They then passed on under the triumphal arch, escorted by the Scots Greys, and the procession followed in the pre-arranged order, by the same route. Along the whole line great crowds of people were to be seen, and the windows, balconies, and scaffold ings were all very closely filled. The rush upon the streets was very considerable, but on the whole, ex cellent order was preserved. The enthusiasm was very considerably abated by the difficulty of obtaining a proper view of the illustrious personages, the con sequence of the carriages being closed, which was much to be regretted as the day was beautiful. The people evidently were not prepared to see her Majesty in mourning, and many therefore did not recognise her, and we perceived surprise and disappointment painted on many countenances. Her Majesty looked exceedingly well, and was very calm and composed. The Prince is much im proved in appearance, being stouter and more manly looking than when last in Scotland. The Princess is an exceedingly. lively and intelligent looking child, and bears a striking likeness to her royal mother. When we left Dundee the town was still in an ex cited state. The following are copies of the addresses presented to the Queen an Prince Albert : TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the Provost, Magistrates, and Town Council of the Royal Burgh of Dundee, beg leave humbly to approach your Majesty to tender our heartfelt and sincere sentiments of attachment to your Majesty's p erson an d governmen t : an d on thi s your Majesty's second and gracious visit to this por tion of your Majesty's dominions, to render our re spectful and heartfelt congratulation to your Majesty, and to express our sincerest gratitude for the bless ings which we enjoy, and which we attribute, under Divine Providence, to the wisdom of your Majesty's government, and we humbly and sincerely trust that your Majesty in this your visit to your ancient kingdom, may enjoy pleasure and satisfaction equal to that which your presence has conferred on your Majesty's loyal and faithful subjects of Scotland, and more especially to the community of this your Ma jesty's ancient burgh, alike honoured and gratified by the presence of your Majesty. TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT. We, the Provost, Magistrates, and Town Council of the Royal Burgh of Dundee, humbly beg leave to tender our resp ec tf u l congratulations to your Royal Highness on the occasion of this your gracious visit to Scotland—an event which we beg to assure your Royal Highness has afforded the most unmingled pleasure and satisfaction to all classes in Scotland, and more especially to the community of this ancient burgh, whom we have the honour to represent. What will add considerably to the grandeur of the scene is the fortunate idea of manning the yards of the vessels in the harbour. The tars, with their best blue jackets and white trousers, are to be mounted aloft, and towering far above the puny spectators be low, as her Majesty plants her foot on terra firma, and treads the shores of " Bonnie Dundee," a shout of welcome will burst forth as it were from mid-air, to be returned by the tens of thousands on the adja cent shores. The scaffolding extends more than half way up the quay, the other portion being left for the Magistrates and Council, the Harbour Trustees, the Lord-Lieu tenant of the county, and other officials, the clergy of the town, her Majesty's carriages and guards, &c. The royal landing-place is immediately in front of the entrance to the Tide Harbour. A floating barge is to be moored a few feet from the quay, and the gangway, covered with velvet, is to extend from the shore to the barge, by which her Majesty and suite will ascend to the place where the deputation will be waiting to receive her. It is intended that so soon as her Majesty has re ceived the addresses, the procession will set off, pre ceded by the city officers, followed by the magistrates and council in four coaches. After these come the royal carriages, and after these again the other public bodies who intend joining the procession. The whole will then proceed through the triumphal arch, up Castle-street, along the High-street, and west the Nethergate, and then turning up South and North Tay-street, proceed by Dudhope-crescent to Lochee, and onwards to Coupar-Angus. To-morrow morning low water is about a quarter to seven, so that it will be at least ten o'clock before a proper depth of water is got to float the royal steamer into the Tide Harbour. It will be impossible to get her into the docks, she measuring 59 feet across the paddle-boxes, which is four feet more than the breadth of the entrance-locks. It requires to be noticed that the London Shipping Company have placed their powerful steamer, the Perth, at the service of the r o yal voyagers. She is to sail this afternoon to meet the royal squadron, when every assistance will be gi v e n , either by putting a pilot on board or leading the way. Should the first offer be accepted, it is understood Mr. Kennedy, the master of the Trinity House, will have the honour of piloting her Majesty into Dundee. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Dundee, Wednesday, Sept. 11. The Queen and Prince Albert arrived here this morning, after a delightful passage of forty-five hours' duration. Her Majesty and the Prince appeared in excellent health, and' were loudly cheered by the populace, notwithstanding that the temper of the people had been sorely tried by the illiberality of a body, yclept " The Harbour Commissioners," who contrived to get up a sort of exhibition of the Queen on this occasion, and rigidly shut out from the quays all who did not choose to pay half-a-crown a head. After a brief stay her Majesty and suite, in four of the royal carriages, left for Perth, amidst the joyful acclammations of a vast concourse of people. J. COURT CIRCULAR.

Sir Charles Clarke and Dr. Hodgson h a d j us t l e ft Drayton Manor when the letters were sent off. (From a Third Edition of the Scotsman.) PROGRAMME OF THE DUNDEE PRE PARATIONS. The following placard was issued by the Dundee authorities yesterday, in anticipation of the royal visit : On the appearance of the royal squadron off the the lights of the Tay, a gun will be fired, and a Union Jack will be shown upon the higher light house ; if in the dark, or in the event of thick weather rockets will be thrown up. These signals will be re peated at Broughty Castle, and then at the har bour of Dundee, where, at the same time, three guns will be fired. The bells of the old steeple will then be rung for fifteen minutes. When the royal squadron will have come to anchor, a royal salute will be fired from the east protection wall. A deputation from the magistrates will then leave the shore to receive her Majesty's commands. Preparations will then be made for the landing. Another royal salute will be fired from the east pro tection wall on her Majesty's stepping on shore ; and the bells of the steeple, the Town-house, the Trades' Hall, St. Andrew's Church, the Maxwelltown Church, and St. Peter's Church, will commence ringing, and will continue for two hours. The magistrates and town council, and the town clerks—the Member for the burgh—the trustees of the harbour—the Lord- Lieutenant and his suite—the sheriffs of the county — the justices of the peace—the clergymen—the magis trates and councils of other burghs—and other indi viduals holding admission tickets, and none other, will be admitted upon the middle quay within the tri umphal arch, and will take their places as shall be pointed out by the superintendent of the harbour police. The incorporated and other public bodies will line the sides of the streets for the progress, leaving a clear roadway, commencing at the great arch, and extending in line along both sides to and along Castle street, the High-street, the Nethergate, and Tay street, in the following order, viz. : First—The Guildry ; Second—The Nine Incorporated Trades ; Third—The Three United Trades ; Fourth—The •Maltmen Incorporation ; Fifth—The members of the Trinity House; and The other bodies in the order in which they respec tively arrive.

FORTIFICATIONS.—INCREASE OF THE MILITARY FORCE. DUBLIN, SEPT. I.—The Peel Ministry find that Ireland has become a greater difficulty than ever. The reversal of the judgment, and the triumph of O'Con nell, have led to new apprehensions and increased precautions, which prove the bewilderment of the Government. They know not what to do, and they render themselves utterly ridiculous by renewing the game of fortifications played off so absurdly by Lord De Grey last year. In the interior the same precautions are adopted, where Lord De Grey's fortifications are considered insecure. The Ballyshannon Herald says :—" An extensive magazine is now being added to the Rock barrack of this town; the barrack is also enlarging for the reception of an increased force; and the Bridge barrack is fitting up for the accommodation of the pensioners of the district." Some regiments are daily expected, and the mili . tary force is to be increased beyond its amountduring the State trials. Some detachments had been draftedoff since that time , but their places are to be supplied. The Cork Reporter of yesterday afternoon contains the following : " DEPARTURE OF THE TROOP SHIPS FROM COVE. —Four of the vessels chartered by the East India Company, for the conveyance of troops from Ireland to Bombay and Calcutta, sailed yesterday without the regiments, and the others will get under weigh for their- destination as soon as they can land the luggage and extra stores taken on board, and make other necessary arrangements on ship board required by the alteration of their fittings-up, &c. The sol diers heard of the countermand with great satisfac tion, and, according to our information, their officers, naturally enough, participated in the same feelings. A correspondent, writing from Fermoy, says :--` The 60th Rifles here have been countermanded, the pur port of the order being that they are not to embark for the East Indies this season, but are placed at the disposal of the Commander-in-Chief in Ireland. The officers were at mess, and gave three hearty cheers when the welcome intelligence arrived.' " We learn that the division of the 60th, occupying quarters in the barracks here, will march to-morrow for Fermoy, and be stationed there for the present ; the 16th Regiment, occupying quarters in Cork gar rison on their arrival from Dublin." REJOICINGS IN THE COUNTRY. KILLARNEY, SATURDAY.—There were illuminations here and in the surrounding districts. The castle of the High Sheriff of Kerry, John Coltsman, Esq., was brilliantly illuminated, in consequence of the glorious news of the liberation of Mr. O'Connell, The grand feature of the evening was the appearance in the streets of John O'Connell, Esq., of Grena, in company with the ladies of his family. Language is inadequate to convey an idea of the outburst of affec tion with which he was greeted. He addressed the people from the windows of the Church-street Tem perance-rooms, cautioning them to refrain from any act that would weaken their present glorious triumph —to give no cause of complaint, either by word, gesture, or action, to those who differed from them in opinion —conciliation was to be their motto. And faithfully did the people follow that advice. In the words of the police, "It was gratifying to witness the excellent conduct of such a mass of people." Castle Lough, the seat of Denis Shine Larlor, Esq., sent forth a brilliant light, while, like the High Sheriff, its worthy proprietor threw open his cellars, hospitable at all times, to his servants and workmen, and to all comers a cead millefalthe. LisTowzL.—The demonstrations of truly genuine patriotic feelings, on the part of the Listowel people and the surrounding neighbourhood, were exhibited on Saturday evening. A writer says the town, on my en trance, displayed a magnificent sight. A fire, the largest I ever witnessed, blazed in the centre of the square, supplied by the farmers with turf, coming the entire day in rapid succession from all parts. The houses were well and tastefully illuminated. At nine the roads towards town were densely thronged with persons coming in from all direction with lighted torches ; on arriving they went round the town first, then met at the fire, giving three cheers for the Queen, three for O'Connell and repeal, and three for the Noble Lords that reversed the judgment. There could not be less than from eight hundred to a thou sand lighted torches. GREENWICH STEAM-BOATS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. have always considered your paper to be the advocate for the removal of imposition or frauds of every character. This induces me to call your attention to the oft-repeated complaints against steam-boat pro• prietors, for which the public appear to have little or no means of redress. Much has been said relative to the imposition, and abuse in many instances, of cabmen and omnibus pro prietors, but however glaring they may act, the public have some protection, by obtaining the name and number, and afterwards summoning, the parties ; but it does not appear that the public have such a mode of redress against steam-boat proprietors. I beg resp ec tf u lly f or y our information to state, that myself and four of my family, returned from Green wich last Sunday evening. Previous to this, we went to the Waterman's Pier, at about eit o'clock, and in quired if t h ey would land us at Westminster, from whence we started, the answer being, "We cannot under take to say we shall reach further than Hungerford ;" this I considered candid, but it being exceedingly wet at the time, I was induced to inquire at the Grand Pier, when the answer was, " Oh, all our boats, sir, land at Westminster-bridge." Consequently, I was induced to go by the Sylph boat, and when we arrived at Hunger ford they refused to take us further : consequently, myself and family were compelled to drag through the heavy rain, with no means of redress. I therefore hope, Mr. Editor, you will expose this affair, for I find from inquiry, that many others have been similarly treated. —Your notice will greatly oblige, W. J. GILBERT. RIGHT OF OCCUPIERS OF COMPOUND HOUSES TO HAVE THEIR NAMES INSERTED IN THE POOR-RATE BOOK. The subjoined correspondence will probably go far to settle this question, which has only of late excited as much attention as it deserves. It arose from the refusal of the parish officers of Hackney to include the names of compound tenants in the rate-book, after their atten tion had been especially drawn to the subject. They did " not deem it necessary"—such was their official reply—" to alter the present mode of making out the rate-books" in their parish. In consequence the follow ing letter was addressed to the Poor-law Commissioners, their answer to which is given below : " Hackney, Aug. 7, 1844. " Gentlemen,—May I respectfully solicit the favour of you to inform me whether, in a parish like this, where we have a large number of houses compounded for to the poor-rate, it is obligatory on the overseers to insert the names of the tenants, as well as the landlords, of such houses in the rate-book ? " Whether, if not obligatory, overseers have a discre tionary power in the matter ? "If obligatory (as the Parochial Assessments Act would seem to suggest) then by what means they can be compelled to discharge the duty.—l am, &c., "C. GREEN." " To the Poor-law Commissioners." " Poor-law Commission-office, Somerset House, " Sept. 7, 1844. " Sir,—l am directed by the Poor-law Commissioners to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th ult., and in answer thereto to state that the Commis sioners consider that it is the duty of overseers, where they are charged with the duty of making the poor-rate, to insert in the rate-book the names of the several occu piers of houses in the parish (so far as they know or may be able to ascertain them), notwithstanding that, under the provisions of the general law, or any local Act, such overseers may be authorised in charging the owners of such houses with the rates instead of the occupiers. The Parochial Assessments Act, 6 and 7 Wm. IV., c. 96, extends to all parishes without distinction, and re • quires (sec. 2) that every rate shall contain an account of every particular set forth at the head of the respective columns in the form given in the schedule annexed to the Act. One of the particulars required by the form to be set forth is the name of the occupier. " The Commissioners are not, however, prepared to advise what legal consequences would result to the over seers from the neglect of the duty. The statute does not itself impose any penalty for any omission or neglect. "I am, &c. " W. G. LUMLEY, Assistant Secretary. " Mr. C. Green, Hackney." If, after this explicit declaration of opinion by the Poor-law Commissioners, parish-officers shall still " not deem it necessary" to discharge properly their duty, ways and means, it is presumed, will not be wanting to com pel them—at some inconvenience, probably, to them selves. In the parish of Hackney alone,lthere are from 2,000 to 3,000 persons occupying compound houses, a large proportion of whom have as good a right to be on the list of voters for the borough of the Tower Hamlets as any other class whose names are found there. Yet, for this year, they will almost every one be disfranchised through the ignorance or want of principle of the parish officers. And hundreds of parishes throughout the kingdom are in the like predicament. BACLYBUNNION.—Nothing could be more imposing than the marks of respect paid to the Liberator at this fashionable watering place. A. highly respectable Protestant gentleman, named Raymond, as we were in formed, proceeded from his lodge to the bonfire on Friday night, and having openly given expression to sentiments which might do credit to any repealer, directed every farmer present to supply turf for the ensuing evening. DINGLE.—This town was brilliantly illuminated on Friday night, and in particular the house of the Hon. Richard De Moleys. One of the fishermen, not hav ing time to collect material for a bonfire, actually burned his boat. KILLORGLIN.—The glorious news of O'Connell's victory reached us here on Friday night. The whole surrounding country seemed in one blaze of fire. The house of our patriotic parish priest, the Rev. Eugene O'Sullivan, was tastefully lighted, as was also that of Dr. Murphy. On Sunday, at last mass, the reverend gentleman translated the Te Deum into Irish, and A BRUTE OF A llUSBAND.—Yesterday forenoon, Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the University College Hospital, Gower-street, on the body of Frances Fillis, aged thirty-four, alleged to have been ill-treated unto death by her husband, a shoe maker, residing in Brook-street, New-road. It ap peared from the evidence of a great many witnesses of respectability, particularly that of Mr. Henderson, of 7, Hertford-street, Fitzroy-square, that deceased had been subjected, since her marriage, about seven years ago, to most harsh, if not brutal, conduct on the part of her husband. About five years ago he pushed her down stairs, severely injuring her externally, for which he was held to bail. After her confinement, four years since, he struck her on the small of the back with a boot last, and to this, as well as to a leprous disease he infected her with soon after marriage, she attributed her illness. No witness saw him strike her lately, though many heard him threaten to do so, and he was in the habit of locking her in her room whenever she did not do as he liked, though his demands were ever so unreasonable. Mrs. Henderson said, about three months since, seeing the deceased altered from what she had been, a neat, comely woman, and become a squalid, emaciated, diseased one, suffering from want of food and medical assistance, she supplied her with the former, and went to the husband to beg of him to procure the latter. He promised he would, but, instead of doing so, he entered his wife's bed-room, in which severe illness had confined her, abused her grossly, and said, if she listened to the counsels of a pack of women, he should lock her in her room. lie moreover wished her dead, and when she said she should wish she were, had it not been for her children's sake, ho told her she need not trouble herself about them, as her place, in anticipation of her dying, was already supplied by a woman who would keep them like a tradesman's offspring. After a great deal of evidence of a similar character, Dr. R. Quain, the house physician, said deceased died on Tues day last, of cancerous disease of the chief intestine, un connected with violence. The Coroner said the physi cian's evidence completed the inquiry, and that the jury must return a verdict in accordance with it. The jury assented, but wished to embody with their verdict a cen sure on the conduct of deceased's husband. The Coro ner told them they could not do so ; they might append it to their verdict, but the verdict must be one based on fact. Verdict, " Natural death." The Coroner, at the request of the jury, reprehended the husband of deceased, telling him that his treatment of his wife had been most disgraceful and disgusting, and that if he had any con science left he would hereafter feel painful remorse for his conduct. The husband defended himself by unmanly allegations against the character of his deceased wife be fore marriage, of whose guilt then he himself was the active cause. repeated it slowly for the people.—Kerry Examiner. Ennis and Galway were wholly illuminated. The ex-Attorney-General, Mr. Pigot, had his lodge in Kilkee brilliantly illuminated on Friday night. We learn that almost every village in the counties of Kerry, Limerick, Cork, and Tipperary were illu minated; besides the numerous lights and fires which continued, almost without intermission, during the greater part of the night, and which were seen from Limerick on every side.—Limerick Reporter. PROVINCIAL BANQUET TO THE LIBERATOR.—On Saturday last our patriotic Mayor, and his patriotic companion, Mr. Honan, presented the Liberator and his co-martyrs with the address of congratulation agreed upon at the meeting of the citizens of Lime rick the day previous at the Exchange. They also presented the invitation to a public banquet, which was most graciously and readily accepted. The day is not yet named. Mr. O'Connell will first proceed to Darrynane to breathe his mountain breezes, for the purpose of invigorating his constitution for the winter's campaign, and will signify from Darrynane the day it will be his pleasure and convenience to name for this grand provincial demonstration.—Limerick Re- porter. BANQUET TO THE LIBERA.TOE IN Dununv.—We understand that every country, city, and town in Ire land will send forward men to Dublin, to represent them at this national banquet.—Tbid. Sir Joseph Barrington, Bart., was in town early on Friday morning when the news of O'Connell's libe ration arrived. He immediately repaired home to his country seat, and meeting one of his men, such was the enthusiasm of the venerable Baronet, he said, ad dressing him by name, " hoist the flag, O'Connell is liberated."—lbid. DEAL PIER COMPANY.—Yesterday, a special meet 4ag this Company was held at the London Tavern, for tile purpose of raising further capital for the completion of the pier. The chair was taken by John Wheelton, Esq., who; stated the difficulties which the Directors had found in getting the subscribers to pay rateably for the object in view, which had induced the Directors to think that it would be better to raise the 7,0001. required for the completion of the pier and the paying off the existing debts, by a mortgage of the Company's property, the in terest on the bonds to be paid from the tolls of the pier, and the surplus to go to the general benefit of the Pro prietors. The plans of Mr. Higgins were submitted, who had agreed to complete the works within a reasonable period. After a short discussion, a resolution for raising the money required was passed unanimously. THE DUCHESS or SUTHERLAND, &c.—On Satur day last, at one o'clock, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marquis and Marchioness of Lorn, and some of the junior members of the Sutherland family, arrived at the Glasgow terminus of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Rail way. 'The noble party and their suite immediately after wards set out in three carriages for Erskine House, the seat of Lord and Lady Blantyre. From the connexion which now exists by marriage between members of the noble families of Argyll, Blantyre, and Sutherland, it is not unlikely that the re-unions of these distinguished persons in the west of Scotland will, in future, be agree ably frequent. The Duke and Duchess of Argyll passed through this city on Tuesday last for Inverary. Scotsman. STORM AT DERBY.—LOSS OF LIFE FROM LIGHT NING.—An appalling instance of the effects of lightning occurred on Friday evening last, during the storm, by which one poor fellow was instantly killed and another had a most miraculous escape from death. It appears that as a number of men employed by Mr. Etches were at work in a field on the London road, Derby, a heavy thunder shower came on, and two of the men took shel ter under a tree, where they had been only a few minutes when they were both struck by the electric fluid. One of them named Sanders, was killed on the spot, and the other, Mr. Etches's servant man, John Pegg, was knocked down and rendered insensible. Mr. Yearn, sur geon, was quickly in attendance, and found the sur vivor in a state of great collapse, the pulse feeble, the extremities cold, the articulation indistinct, and the power of swallowing entirely lost. Appropriate restora tives were made use of, and he is now pretty n ear l y re covered. There are several points of interest connected w i t h the narrow escape of Pegg, to which we s h a ll b r i e fl y advert. The electric fluid appears to have struck him first on the top of the head —it pierced his hat by arr feration in the crown n ot l arger than a small shot hole,' and rent the hat linine. • into shreds. The hair on the crown and left side of the head was burned, and the skin on the left side and back of tin, neck scorched. Then the lightning came in contact Kith his silver watch-guard, which it passed along, completely fusing the links. The watch glass was broken, and three joints of the outer ease of the watch were also fused. It thence passed down the right thigh and leg, which it scorched very much in its course, to his boot heel, which was nearly wrenched off. The watch, which was found to be gaining very much, has since been sent to the watchmaker, and the works being to all appearance not at all injured, be was much puzzled to find out why it should gallop on at such a rate, and he at length disco vered that all the steel parts were rendered magnetic, Pegg has no recollection of anything happening to him at the time of the accident.—Derby Mercury. 'NEW ZEALAND COLONIZATION. The following are the resolutions at which the Select Committee of the House of Commons have arrived, as containing a summary of their opinions, upon the whole subject : "1. That the conduct of the New Zealand Com pany, in sending out settlers to New Zealand, uut only without the sanction, but in direct defiance of the authority of the Crown, was highly irre gu l ar an d improper. " 2. That the conclusion of the treaty of Waitangi by Captain Hobson, with certain nati ves o f N e w ' Zealand, was a part of a series of injudicious proceed ings which had commenced several years previous to his assumption of the local government. "3. That the acknowledgment by the local autho rities of a right of property on the part of the natives of New Zealand, in all wild lands in those island s , after the sovereignty had been assumed b y h er Ma jesty was not essential to the true construction of tne 1 treaty of Waitangi, and was an error whi c h h as b een productive of very injurious consequences. " 4. That the New Zealand Company has a right tc, expect to be put in possession by the Government, with the least possible delay, of the number of acres awarded to it by Mr. Pennington ; that the Company has this right as against the estates of the Crown, with out reference to the validity or otherwise of its sup posed purchases from the natives, all claims derived from which have been surrendered. " 5. That the Company, in selecting the land to be granted by the Crown within the defined limits, cannot claim the grant of any land not vested in the Crown. " 6. That means ought to be forthwith adopted for establishing the exclusive title of the Crown to all land not actually occupied and enjoyed by natives, or held under grants from the Crown ; such land to be considered as vested in the Crown for the purpose of being employed in the manner most conducive to the welfare of the inhabitants, whether natives or Europeans. " That in order to prevent 1: - .nd from being held by parties not intending to make use of the same, a land-tax, not exceeding 2d. an acre, ought to he im posed; that all parties claiming land should be re quire(' to put in their claims, and pay one year's tax in advance, within twolve months. " 8. That such tax ought not to be considered as applying to the whole estate of the New Zealand Com pany, so long as they shall continue to sell not less than one twenty-fifth of the land granted to them annually, and to expend a fixed proportion of the proceeds in emigration. " 9. That such tax ought also not to be considered as applying to lands now actually occupied and en joyed by the natives, or to reserves set apart and held for their benefit. " 10. That reserves ought to be made for the natives, interspersed with the lands assigned to settlers, with suitable provision for regulating their alienation and preserving the use of them for the natives as long as may be necessary; and that these reserves ought not to be included in calculating the amount of land due to that Company. " 11. That as it appears by evidence, that the non settlement of the land claims has been productive of great confusion and mischief in the colony, it is expe dient to adopt measures for granting legal titles with the least possible delay to the actual occupants of land, unless under special circumstances of abuse. " 12. That the prohibition of all private persons to purchase land from the natives ought to be strictly enforced, except that land which may have been pur chased by natives they should be at liberty to sell again, provided the transaction be sanctioned by the Protector. " 1 3. That it is highly important that the Governor should have more effectual means of enforcing obe dience to his authority, and also greater facility for visiting frequently the different settlements; and that with this view, it. ; is expedient that an armed steamer, of moderate size, be placed at his disposal. " 14. That it is expedient that the settlers should be organised as a militia, under the orders and con trol of the Governor; natives, under proper precau tions.being allowed to serve in it. "15. That it is expedient that an attempt should also be made to raise and discipline a native force of a more permanent character, officered in general by Europeans, but in which any of the natives Ml° may be found trustworthy may hold commands. "16. That the employment of natives in the civil service of the Government, in which they can be useful, is highly desirable. "17. That efforts should be made gradually to wean the natives from their ancient customs, and to induce them to adopt those of civilised life, upon the principle recommended by Captain Grey, in his re. port on the mode of introducing civilisation amongst the natives of Australia. "18. That the principles in which the New Zea land Company have acted in making the reserves for the natives, with a view to their ultimate as well as present welfare, and in making su it a bl e provision for spiritual and educational purposes, are sound and judicious, tending to the benefit of all classes. " 19. That the Committee, upon the review of the documentary evidence relating to the loss of life at IVairau (without offering any opinion upon the law of the case), deem it an act of justice to the memory of those who fell there, to state, that it appears that the expedition in question was undertaken for a pur pose believed by the parties to be lawful and desirable, and which also in analogous cases had unfortunately led them to expect might be effected without resist ance from the natives. The Committee cannot with hold the expression of their regret at the loss of lifa which occurred, especially the loss of Capt a i n A r th ur Wakefield, whose long and distingui s h e d serv i ces in the British navy are recorded in the papers before the Committee, and of Mr. Thompson, the stipendary magistrate, Mr. Richardson, the Crown prosecutor, Captain England, Mr. Cotterell, Mr. Patchett, and Mr. Howard. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A YOUTH.—A very painful sensation has been created in the scholastic establishment of the Rev. Mr. Trimmer, Upper Rich mond-road, Putney, in conseqnence of the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Master Lambert Cobb, one of the pupils of that establishment. The missing youth, who is about thirteen years of age, is the son of a gentle man residing at Lee, near Dover, in Kent, and a magis trate of that county. On Tuesday the young gentle man, who had been to spend the vacation with his parents, returned to town, and thence took an omnibus to the foot of Putney-bridge, where he engaged a man to carry his boxes. He proceeded on into Putney, and stopped at the shop of Mr. Leyton, confectioner, where he purchased some buns, &c. Master Cobb had previously told the man who had charge of his boxes to walk on towards the school, and he would overtake him: This, however, he never did, and, from the time he left Mr. Leyton's shop, all trace of him is lost. The Rev. Mr. Trimmer supposed at first that the absence was a freak of youth, but when the night came on and passed without his making his appearance, the Rev. Gentleman became greatly alarmed, and, after communicating with the police, started off immediately into Kent, to ascer tain if his pupil had returned home. Such proved not to be the case, and the dismay caused by Mr. Trimmer's visit may be imagined. Mr. Cobb returned with the Rev. Gentleman to town, and at once adopted the most active measures to discover the retreat of his son. Mr. Bucknell, the superintendent of the R division, has since been in communication with the parties, and has em ployed, and is still employing, every means available to trace out the young gentleman, but up to last evening all efforts had been unsuccessful. Ile is described as being thirteen years old, tall for his age, fair complexion, light brown hair, blue eyes, and was dressed in a black jacket and waistcoat, and grey trowsers. TORQ,UIY, SEPT. 10.—Early this morning a very large shark was captured here at the entrance of the bay. Some fishermen who were taking up their herring -nets observed a huge fish caught and making desperate struggles to get free. They proceeded cautiously t o draw in the net, and had the satisfaction of securing th e monster without materially injuring their net. H o was held down in the boat, where he died, after some very strong throes. The men sold him for 1/. to a boatman, who is now exhibiting him from house to house ; his appearance has excited much wonder, not unmixed with alarm, at the fact of his being found so near the town. He measures rather more than eight feet in length, and 2 from point to point of the tail, and is furnished with five openings on each side of the gills. His upper jaw extends eight inches beyond the lower, and both jaws are furnished with a triple row of most formidable teeth, each row turned in a direction different from the others. A new church is in course of erection at Seasalter, near Whitstable, Kent, capable of accommodating 950 persons, all the seats being unappropriated and free. The foundation st one was laid a few days since by Sir William Brook Brid ges, membe rs art. , of the int he presence chapter of of c onsecration in September of the next year- CVanicteeribea r ) u and several y Dean Wednesday last, while the worthy landlord of the Apple Tree, Turkey, was engaged in brewing, he was surprised by a visit from a swarm of bees ; unfortunately for them, attracted by the odour of the XX, which had just before been transferred to the cooler, they became enveloped in the boiling steam, and their first adventure in the world was very soon brought to a close.— Wor cester Chronic le. The Frankfort journals of the 7th announce the arrival of Lord John RusSell in that city. The Hon.

The marriage is to take place in Paris, during the course of the prese:it mouth. The mail between this town and London will he commenced on the 30th instant.

On Monday evening their Majesties the King and Queen of the French received the Ministers of the United States and Holland, the Minister of Public Works, Ge neral Sebastiani, Baron d'Effaudis, and M. Vatout. Two companies of the 12th Regiment of the line in garrison at Havre, left that place on Monday, for Eu, where they are to do duty during his Majesty's residence at the Chateau. Duke Bernard of Saxe Weimar, brother of the Grand Duke, accompanied by Baron Vanouthon, arrived at Meta on the 7th, for the purpose of witnessing the grand mili tary manoeuvres, under the orders of his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours, who received his royal visitor at the Prefecture, where apartments had been prepared for him. The Prince of Saxe Weimar, son of Duke Bernard, and Captain Gordon, son of the Earl of Aberdeen, were expected on the Bth. The Toulonnais states that great preparations are making in that town for the reception of the Prince de Joinville, it having been announced by the Government to the chief magistrate of the place, that it was at Toulon his Royal Highness would disembark. The Municipal Council has subscribed 20,000 francs towards the festivities which will take place on the occasion. Triumphal arches are to be erected, a ball, an illumina tion, balloon ascent, and fireworks, are the splendours awaiting the conqueror of Tangiers and Mogadore on his arrival. A Toulon letter of the 6th says :—" It is asserted that the Ordnoque steamer is this day to leave for Cadiz, with instructions to the Prince de Joinville to super intend himself the measures connected with the blockade of Mogadore. The Castor has left for the Straits of Gibraltar with letters for the French ships on the coast of Morocco. She is also to touch at Oran to deliver in structions to Marshal Bugeaud." The Castle of Hevonsheim, the seat of the Duchess d'Alberg, near Wiesbaden, is the scene of splendid gaiety and hospitality. The following distinguished English families have lately been her Grace's guests :—Earl and Countess Clarendon, Earl Bathurst, Viscount and Vis countess Palmerston, Lord and Lady William Russell, Lord and Lady Sidney, Lord and Lady Villiers, Lord De Morley, Lord and Lady Levison, &c., &c. The Frankfort journals of the 7th announce the ar rival of Lord John Russell in that city. The Paris Presse says :—" The Speech of the Queen of England having removed all fears of collision or mis understanding between Great Britain and France, there can no longer be any doubt of the prompt completion of the loan. It is believed that it will take place in Oc tober, and be for 300 millions of francs." It is stated in a letter from Athens of the 26th ult. that the Coletti Ministry would find it impossible to weather the impending storm, and that the protecting Powers would again be obliged to interfere, in order to save the country from anarchy. Watches, remarkable for their extreme thinness, are now manufactured at Geneva. They are not thicker than a line and the sixteenth of a line (little more than the twelfth of an inch). This change does not, however, militate against the full play of the movement, for that remains the same, the thinness being obtained by placing the hands at the side, instead of over the works. This arrangment makes the watches rather larger in circumference. Yesterday, says a letter from Rouen of Monday, be tween six and seven in the evening, some thieves, pro fiting by the absence of the owner, stripped the shop of M. Delaporte, the jeweller and money-changer, in the Rue Grand-Pont. In a few minutes they cleared off all the jewellery, gold, and notes, and escaped unperceived. The loss of M. Delaporte is enormous, many persons say 300,000 f., but this is probably an exaggeration. Several fine exotics are now in full perfection in the garden of the Luxembourg, and attract many visitors. Amongst them are two bananas, the fruit of which begins to develop itself, two Mexican plants, the stalks of which cover an enormous surface of ground, and an apple- tree from Brazil, the fruit of which has a skin as dark as that of the Damascus plum. LAW AND POLICE. John Ayres, Joseph Wentworth, and Thomas Cooke were indicted, at the Middlesex Sessions, for assaulting George Mason Pratt, on the 22d of August last. The prosecutor, it appeared, had ibeen employed to serve some Chancery notices on the prisoners' employer, a farmer at Willesden ; and on the day when the assault was committed, was believed to be watching whether an injunction granted by the Court of Chancery against the sale or removal of the property on the farm was carried into effect. He was persuaded by the prisoners to go to a public-house, and on the way thither was thrown into the Paddington Canal. He escaped without more seri ous injury than a good ducking. The jury returned a verdict of acquittal on the part of Cooke, but found Ayres and Wentworth guilty. They were sentenced to one month's imprisonment. At the Gravesend sessions, held on the 12th, James Limbard was charged with having pursued his ordinary calling on Sunday last, in having weighed people in a weighing-machine for money, and thereby having vio lated the statute of the 29th Charles 11., which makes it penal for any person to pursue, on the Lord's-day, their ordinary occupation. A similar charge was made against two other persons, and all the parties were fined lls. 6d each. At the same court, two men named James Reid and Samuel Rowe were fined 40s. each for " touting" for the steamers on Sunday. Their solicitor, Mr. Mathews, immediately lodged with the town clerk notices of ap- peal from the decision of the bench in these cases. _ _ An elderly woman named Harding was fined 20s. at Marlborough-street Police-court, for selling " crackers " to boys.

The Noble Duke commences his parties next week, and a succession of visitors will be enter tained there until the close of the ensuing week. The Marquis of Clanricarde arrived from Portumna Castle, his seat in Ireland, on Monday last. The Noble Marquis and Marchioness, accompanied by the Ladies De Burgh, aro about to set out on a Continental tour, proceeding by Brighton to Dieppe, and through France to Italy, in which country the noble family intend to pass the approaching winter. Earl I)elawarr (Lord Chamberlain) left Upper Gros venor-street on Thursday, by the three o'clock train, for Buckhurst Park, near East Grinstead, where the Coun tess and family are staying, with the exception of the Hon. Mortimer West, who is gone to the north. Mr. Hastings and Lady Elizabeth Russell came to town to attend the nuptials of Lord Grimston and Miss Weyland.

DCIESCIEZWFXOIIB. The revision of the lists of voters for the city of West minster is expected to commence on the Bth of the en suing month, when D. C. Maylan, Esq., the gentleman appointed by Lord Denman, will commence his duties for the first time in this city. The Dublin Corporation will hold a special meeting on the 14th, for the purpose of voting an address of con gratulation to Mr. O'Connell on his liberation. Most of the civil and military officers who distin guished themselves in China, Affghanistan, and Sinde, are natives of Ireland and Wales. Lord Keane, Sir Hugh Gough, Sir Charles Napier, Sir Henry Pottinger, and Sir Robert Sale, we believe, are all Irishmen ; and Sir William Nott is a Welshman. A grand fancy ball took place at Stowe on Wednesday evening, to celebrate the majority of the Marquis of Chandos. The ball was opened by the Marquis of Chandos with the Hon. Miss Copley, daughter of Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst; and the Duke of Buckingham with the Hon. Miss Neville. In the course of the night there were danced a great number of country dances and quadrilles. The polka was also frequently got up, and was danced admirably. Thursday, the 16th instant, is fixed for the public banquet in Dublin, to be given to Mr. O'Connell and " his late fellow-captives." It is said he will imme diately afterwards repair to Derrynane Abbey, and on his route thither accept the invitation of the " loyal Repealers" of Limerick to the Munster provincial dinner. Yesterday an inquest was held at the New George public-house, Drury. court, Strand, on the body of Matther Webster, aged fifty-seven, the well-known waterman at the Spotted I)og, Strand. The deceased lived at the above house, and went home in good health on Monday night. Not making his appearance on the Tuesday morning at his usual hour, Mr. Bacon, the landlord, went to call him. On entering his room with a lodger named Hall, deceased was insensible, but shortly afterwards asked for water, some of which he drank. He then laid down in bed, and Dr. Lovett, of Clare street, was sent for, who found him labouring under apoplexy. The usual remedies were resorted to, but deceased never afterwards spoke, and died on Wednesday morning. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. NOVEL AND DARING NAVAL Tuir.—On Thurs day morning the Hon. Captain Sheffington, accompanied by a younger brother and two lads, arrived at Blenner ville-quay in his cutter-yacht, the Star. In this little boat, which is only seven tons, the Hon. Captain has sailed north about from Dublin to this place, and he intends, we understand, to return to Dublin by the south coast. Immediately on his arrival Captain Sheffington and his brother set off to visit the Lakes. He will not leave this until after the Spa races. A great deal of daring and nautical skill must have been required for the accom plishment of this difficult and dangerous trip, particu larly in so small a craft.—Kerry Post. THE ARMY.

Fetherstone 11th Foot; Lieutenant Lord Tullamore, 43d Light Infantry ; and Ensign Edward Wingfield, 56th Regiment. Sir Robert and Lady Sale left by the mail on Mon day for Dublin; but so high do they appreciate the attention of the citizens of Derry, that they intend to return on Monday, the 16th instant, and to honour a ball by their presence, which will take place on Tues day, the 17th. Their stay in this city after the ball will be prolonged for one week, when they will leave by the Liverpool steamer for England.—. Derry Journal. CAUTION TO SHELL HUNTERS.—A few days since, as the crew of a Deal galley were returning from Broad stairs, one of them thought he could trace the faint out line of a man under the cliff hailing for assistance. On nearing the spot the truth became manifest; a person was plainly seen standing on a narrow ledge of the cliff, one hand desperately clinging to a projecting point above, while the other was waving for succour. As the boatmen were precluded a nearer approach, being unprovided with ropes, and the water dashing furiously against the cliff, they lost no time in hastening to Broadstairs to summon assistance. A party furnished with tackle speedily reached the spot, when a brave fellow, named Archer, fastened to a rope, was lowered over the cliff, and by a well managed con trivance both persons were soon drawn to the summit. The party thus providentially preserved is the son of a respectable gentleman sojourning at Broadstairs, who, having a vacant hour or two, had taken a stroll to Kings gate in search of shells ; while returning, it seems, he was too much absorbed to notice the tide, which at last completely hemmed him in.—Maidstone Journal. MELANCHOLY INSTANCY OF SUDDEN DEATH OF A SOLDIER.—On Wednesday afternoon a private of the Royal Marines, of the guard in the dockyard at Wool wich, named John Powell, fell dawn suddenly in one of the outhouses of the yard, and in a few minutes expired. On being discovered, and life not supposed to be extinct, he was removed to the officers' guard-room, and the sur geons of the establishment were immediately in at tendance ; an attempt was made to get some blood from him, but without effect. A coroner's inquest was si▪ tting at the same time, at the Mitre, and an intimation was sent .to the coroner of the melancholy circumstance ; but such has been the press of business on that official, in consequence of the number of sudden deaths in▪ his division of the county, that it is not likely he will be able to assemble a jury for a day or two. The body was removed to the Marine Hospital. The deceased was an old soldier, and had seen some service. The will of Earl Moutnorris was proved in the Prerogative Court, Canterbury, on the 29th ult., by the oath of Arthur Lyttleton M‘Leocl, Esq., the nephew, and E. R. Nicholas, Esq., the executors. Personal pro perty sworn under 10,0001. The will is a very large one, and the property is given in small sums to a great many legatees. ...,: r 7 / , _ taken nn iken
