• - . . could not but acknowledge that a line which would con nect them with the manufacturing districts of the north would also be most beneficial to their trade.—(Hear.) There was another railway priposed, which would unite with this line, and would give them an opportiniity of travelling► and conveying goods between that town and Newbury, Miley, and Oxford, and so northwards. This conflux of railways must be beneficial to their local trade,—(Hear, hear.) The lion. Member expre,sed his hope that they would make common cause with the pro jectors of the line, and do ail in their power to secure the success of that desirable undertaking. Other gentlemen addressed the meeting at some length, and the motion having been carried with three cheers, The CHAIRMAN said the unani.aity of the meeting was a source of great ratisfaetior, to him. He was most anxious to promote the undertaking by every means in his power. He would represent to the Earl of Clarendon the feelings of the meeting, and he felt assured that in as far as the property of the Noble Earl was concerned, every facility would be offered to the undertaking. The petitions then received numerous signatures, and the meeting broke up.—Hampshire Advertiser. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TA'rI'ERSAL L'S.—( YESTERDAY. ) Yesterday, if not a very busy, was an important day at the corner, inasmuch as the hopes and fears of the backers of Merry Monarch were effectually set at rest by a de claration that he would not start, owing, it was reported, to his having fallen lame; while to increase the excitement, Mentor, who but the day before, owing to a similar rumour, had receded to 40 to 1, sprung to 12 to 1, at which price nearly all the money for which he was backed (some three or four hundred pounds at a guess) was laid out. Miss Sarah was quoted at 3 to 1, layers, IVeatherbit at 7 to 1, laid once to a small sum, and afterwards offered, but not currently. The Pacha at 11 and 12 to 1, both taken in several quarters, and Red Robin at 16 to 1, to which figure he rose from 1,000 to 45, laid twice at the commencement of the betting. Forth's lot, now confined to Mr. Irwin's two and John Davies, was backed by Mr. Irwin himself at 20 to 1, but did not appear to have any admirers out of the stable. The other changes were of little moment. Closing prices : Sr. LEGER. 2 to 1 agst Major Yarburgh's lot—taken 20 to 1 agst Mr. Forth's lot—taken 3 to 1 agst Major Yarburgh's Miss Sarah 7 to 1 agst Mr. Gully's Weatherbit—taken 12 to 1 agst Mr. St. Paul's Mentor 12 to 1 agst Mr. Painter's The Pacha—taken 14 to 1 agst Mr. Gully's Old England 15 to I agst Mr. Mostyn's Pantasa 16 to 1 agst Major Yarburgh's Red Robin 18 to 1 agst Mr. Watts' The Baron 25 to 1 agst Lord Milltown's Duc-an-Durras—taken 25 to 1 agst Mr. Ramsay's Mid-Lothian—taken 30 to 1 agst Mr. Irwin's Ould Ireland 33 to 1 agst Mr. Ilesseltine's Fitzallen—taken 40 to 1 agst Mr. Ferguson's Clear-the-Way 40 to 1 agst Mr. Irwin's Connaught Ranger 50 to 1 agst Mr. Wreford's Worthless—taken 66 to 1 agst Sir R.

Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., presided on the occasion. The report of the Provisional Committee stated that the prospects of the intended charity were favourable, and promised the greatest success. It was supported by many illustrious per. sonages, who have taken the institution under their protection, amongst whom may be enumerated the Queen, 1001. ; Prince Albert, 1001.; the Queen Dowager, 1001.; the King of Prussia, 3001., and 1001. annually; the King of Hanover, 1501., and 501. annually ; the Duchess of Kent, 100/. ; the Duke of Cambridge, 501.; the Ducheu of Cambridge, 251.; the Emperor of Russsia, 1001. ; the King of Denmark, 1001.; the King of Bavaria, 1001. ; the King of Saxony, 501, and a long list of influential subscribers and donors. The report stated that the appeal to the public for pro. riding funds for the purchase and fitting up the house at Dalston (lately occupied by the Infant Orphan Asylum Society) and the proper maintenance of the hospital has resulted in the sum of 3,3001. donations, and 3501. annual subscriptions ; in addition to which the committee have received lOU donation, voted by the Senate of the Free City of Hamburg. Several committees have also been formed in England and Germany for the purpose of raising subscriptions. The original estimate of 5,0001., for the purchase, repairs, and fitting up the interior of the hospital, will Dot be materially exceeded, and the whole is now nearly completed, and will be opened for the reception of patients on the 15th of October next, the anniversary of the birthday of the King of Prussia. The report was unanimously adopted. as likewise the rules and regulations proposed by the committee; and, thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident took place on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway on Thursday morning about one o'clock, which was attended with the death of George Macklin, one of the guards. It appears that Macklin bas been employed on the line for only four months, and in ac cordance with a custom which provides that all new guards be appointed to the charge of luggage trains as an initiatory step, he bad charge of a train of this kind which left Glasgow at eleven o'clock on Wednesday night. The train reached Linlithgow in safety, where one of the trucks was to be left, and for the sake of convenience it was the last in the train. It was in connexion with this particular truck that Macklin lost his life, but as no person saw the accident, the particulars cannot be given with cer tainty. From the position, however, in which the body was found, it is supposed to have occurred as follows :--Before the train had been fully stopped he had swung himself on the buffers of the second last truck in order to save himself the trouble of running forward and uncoupling the last one at the proper time ; and while in this situation, he had fallen down on the rail, and im mediately the remaining truck passed over his body. The unfor tunate man'was quite unable to speak, and died in about a quar. ter ef an hour afterwards.—Scotsman. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON TILE CROYDON ATMOSPHERIC Raii.way.—Yesterday forenoon a lengthened in quiry was instituted before Mr. W. Carter, and a jury, at the White Horse Inn, Croydon, on the remains of Michael Murphy, sged.32. who was killed on Friday last during some experimental tripe on the above (atmospheric) line. Mr. Samuda, the patentee of the line, and several gentlemen connected with railways, were present during the proceedings. The jury having viewed the body of the deceased, which was frightfully mutilated, several witnesses were called, who clearly proved that the deceased had sufficient warning to get out of the way when the train was com ing, but which warning he did not heed. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict of" Accidental death." INQUEST ON MR. OLDFlELD.—Yesterday Mr. G - . J. Mills resumed, at the Marquis of Hastings, Ossulaton.street, New-road, the inquest on the young gentleman who committed suicide in a house of ill-fame, 26, Aldenham.street, which was adjourned from last Friday, that the body might be identified. Mrs. Emily Oldfield, the wife of Mr. Oldfield, reps. maker, Southgate-road, Ball's-pond, Islington, who was deep:y affected, daring her evidence, stated that the deceased was her son, and that he was warehouse drink in the employ of Messrs. Warwick and Sons, wholesale druggists, Garlick-hill. Last Tuesday morning he left home for his office, and told witness that he would, if allowed by his employers, go with some friends to Gravesend that day. She gave him Ss. 6d.. but did not know what other money he had. She never afterwards saw him alive. Her impression was that he had been drugged in the house in Aldenham. street, and then murdered. The coroner 'suited Mrs. Oldfield that both he and the jury were fully convinced, by the evidence given on the first day, that her son had not been drugged. Mr. Wrent more, brother and assistant to Mr. Wrentmore, surgeon, said that he sold to the servant of the house in Aldenham.street, half an ounce of the essential oil of almonds, in an ounce and a half bottle. He imagined that it was required by a soap-maker or a pastry-cook. Mr. G. Wakefield, surgeon, examined the body, which, from the sesophagus downwards, gave evidence of the destructive presence of prussic acid, and which, nn doubt, was the cause of death. The quantity sold the servant was sufficient to kill four persons. The jury, after half an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict," That George Oldfield, jun., died by taking the essential oil of almonds with his own hands, but that there was no evidence of his state of mind at the time that he took it." The jury accom. panied the verdict with a censure on Mr. Wrentmore, jun., for having so incautiously sold the poison. HORDING Fo RN ISUED LODGINGS. —Yesterday, Thomas Benjamin Matthews, a man of respectable family, who was stated to have been a lawyer's clerk, but for a considerable time without other employment than occasional writing, was charged at the Worship-street Police-court, with his wife, with robbing their furnished lodgings. The prisoners had both of them an exceedingly meagre and pinched look, but their apparel, though scanty and threadbare, seemed to be worn with a scrupulous re gard to cleanliness and neatness. The charges against them having been proved, the male prisoner said he had been driven by distress to the commission of these offences, although he belonged t i a family all of whom were highly respectable, and had himself been well brought up. His father, who is dead, had, he said, been a magistrate, and he has a brother a clergyman, rector of a parish at Doncaster, and it was but on Sunday that he received tidings of the death of his mother. He asserted that, having expectations ef property, he intended to make good everything belonging to others that he had made free with under the pressure of distress, and he hoped the magistrate would deal leniently with him. He begged that, at all events, his unfortunate wife, who had acted under his control, should be sot at liberty. Mr. Binginm did dis eharge the wife, but he remanded the male prisoner till Friday. REMEDY FOR THE DIsiaASE IN POTATOES.—The following is a remedy proposed by Mr. Prideaux, the eminent agri cultural chemist of Plymouth :—Amongst the most effectual pre ventives and correctives of putrefaction, are chloride of lime and salt ; both quite wholesome, and consisting of elements suitable for manure. For arresting the decay in the ground, a mixture of these—say 1 cwt. chloride of lime, 3 cwt. salt, per acre—may he strewed round the plant, and immediately covered in (for day-light kills the chloride of lime). Or if the weather should, happily, become dry, it may be applied liquid, at the rate of I gal. water to lb. of the mixture. Potatoes dug apparently sound and subject to rot afterwards, may be first washed in water, and then steeped in the above solution 12 hours (perhsps less time will be found to do). The same liquid will do for many quantities of potatoes, by adding more of the mixed salts and chloride, as they absorb it out; for which the taste may be a sufficient guide. The salt should be clean, such as is sold for about Is. 6d. per cwt. for agricultural purposes; foul salt would exhaust the purifying quality of the chloride. The chloride of lime (bleaching powder) should be of the very best quality, which is the cheapest for use, as it is a perishable article. The salt should be well mixed with the chloride Ent, as the latter is apt to curdle in water alone : and no iron or metal of any kind should touch it, either in mixing or In solution, as metals quickly exhaust its qualities.—Western Times. ROBBERY BY A FALSE FRIEND—At the Thames Police -court yesterday, a young Irishwoman, named Sarah Downly, applied to Mr. Broderip, the presiding magistrate, to solicit his advice and assistance. The applieant, whose sobbing almost choked her utterenee, stated that she came from Dublin a fortnight ago in the Devonshire steamer, for the purpose of emi. grating in one of the New York liners for America, and provided herself with every requisite for the voyage. During the trip from Dublin to London she formed an intimacy with a Cornwall woman, Darned Williams, who embarked on board the Devonshire at Fal meuth. The woman represented that she was proceeding to London to take charge of her brother-in.law's children. Having o btained her confidence the Cornwall woman proposed that they should engage an apartment in London between them. and they hired a l o d g i ng at No. 4, The applicant consented, w e lystreet, Wellclosa-square, where they remained until Sunday. On Sunday week her fellow.lodger borrowed a sovereign, and on Saturday another, which she promised to repay when her brother- In-law came to London. On Sunday morning while she was dressing, her companion managed to possess herself of the key of her trunk, In which all her property was deposited, and soon afterwards sent her on an errand, and on her return home she die- Covered that her trunk had been opened, and everything of value had been taken out by her false friend. The poor creature, who appeared quite heart-broken, said she had not a friend in England, and was; quite destitute; all: her money was gone, and the stores she had provided for the intended voyage to America. Mr. Broderip gave the young woman some money to support her temporarily, until inquiries could be made. FATAL EFFECTS OF INTEMPERANCE.—On Sunday kbitwein s ight, ten and eleven o'clock, an aged widow woman, named Harley, who occupied apartments at the house of Mr. Hart. well, shoemaker, Manover.street, Lewisham, fell down stairs from th e a tti c bedrooEl to the passage upon her head while drunk, and was picked up In 'a state of insensibility, and in a short time after. yards 6121 cosio4, to exist, LYCEUM THEATRE. A new and original comedietta (and for once the word comedietta, as applied to a one-act piece, is not a misnomer) entitled Pet er Jenkins ; or., Fibbing fur a Friend, was produce=d a t this theatre last evening, and an ex !client comedietta. it is. Mr. David Brown, (Mr. Meadows) is a partner Stn a mercantile house, who mixes up sentiment and the main chance in the oddest manner possible. His partner is Mr. Whiffen (Keeley) a plain straightforward man of business, who makes it his boast that he has never toM a lie in his life. David Brown is surprised and disappointed at discovering that his la , lye love, Miss Jenkins k Miss Dawson), a young lady with 2,0001. in her own t right, has eloped with a gay Lothario ; and Whiffen is surprised and pleased at receiving a note from young Victor de Mont morency (Mr. Wigan), a Frenchman, returning him 50/. which he had borrowed of hitn, and in viting him to his cottage at Richmond, where he is spending the honeymoon with his young wife. Brown, who is going to the Star and Garter, gives Whiffen a cast down in his gig. Now Mrs. Montmorency is the very Miss Jenkins who was engaged to Brown, and Mont morency, who is awfully jealous, has discovered Brown's portrait in his wife's possession ; to appease him the wife declares it is the portrait of her brother Peter Jenkins, and Miss Clear (Mrs. Keeley), the teacher at the boarding-school from which the elopement took place, and who has accompanied the lovers, vouches for the truth of the statement. The confusion which arises when Mr. David Brown makes his appearance as the companion of Whiffen may be easily imagined. Brown, however, is got rid of before any discovery takes place, and Miss Clear, who has her own designs on Whiffen, persuades him to declare to Montmorency that Brown is Peter Jenkins. Old Jenkins, however, arrives, and when Montmorency introduces Whiffen as a friend of the family, and the intimate associate of his son Peter, the old man is astounded. He has no son. Miss Clear again prompts Whiffen. Peter is a wild dog, has outrun the constable, the father cannot bear to hear his name mentioned, and for that time Montmorency is pacified ; but Brown again makes his appearance, and Mont morency is determined to bring about a reconciliation, by introducing them to each other, and then it is dis covered that Peter Jenkins is David Brown. Mont morency declares he will repudiate his wife, and annihilate Whiffen, but again Miss Clear recon ciles everything. She declares that her father had determined to sacrifice her to another ; that years ago she had been engaged to Whiffen ; that they had kept up a secret correspondence ; and that Whiffen had sent her his portrait by Brown, who, for motives best known to himself, had substituted his own ; that on Montmorency finding the portrait, his wife, in order to spare her friend's feelings, had said it was the portrait of Peter Jenkins ; but that now all ob stacles being removed, she can make her dear Whiffen happy—and most happy, too, does she make Mont morency, for she has an enormous appetite, and he is right glad to get her out of his house. This little play is admirably written and admirably acted. Mr. and Mrs. Keeley and Wigan were called for at the con clusion, and the piece was announced :for repetition amidst unbounded applause. SOUTHWARK ELECTION. MEETING OF SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTII'S SUPPORTERS. Yesterday evening a crowded meeting of the friends of Sir William Molesworth was held in the Literary In stitution, Borough-road, at eight o'clock. The Theatre of the Institution, which is calculated to hold 1,200 per sons, was crammed to suffocation, and at least as many more were compelled to leave, having been unable to find admittance. Sir William, on entering, was greeted with enthu siastic cheering, which lasted several minutes. Mr. MARTIN was called to the chair, and proceeded to congratulate the meeting on the prospect they had of returning their candidate, despite of the unworthy con duct pursued by Mr. Miall, in seeking to divide the li beral interest in the Borough. Sir W. MOLES WORTH then rose to address the meet ing, but was interrupted by a person in the body of the room, who was, however, put down by the indignant shout that arose from all parts of the Theatre. The Hon. Baronet was then allowed to proceed. He thanked them for the enthusiastic reception they had given him. In all the meetings he had held he had been equally well received, and he believed that his principles had been generally approved of.—(Cheers.) He had so often told them what those principles were that he sup posed they must now have them by heart.—(Cheers.) He would not, therefore, go over the ground again, but instead he should, with their permission, review the lending features of the contest as far as it had gone. And, first, as to the reasons which had induced him to come forward. He had been asked to stand by a num ber of the electors in that Borough, and he was sorry, exceedingly sorry, to find that after his address had been published some of those gentlemen who had prayed him to come forward had gone over to another party.— (Cries of " Shame.") There were but two antagonists in the Borough, for Mr. Pitcher's chairman had pub licly stated that that gentleman's committee had called upon the Liberal electors, asking them to support Mr. Miall in his election.—(Cheers, and cries of " Shame.") and tremendous uproar.) He was, however, confident of success; and when returned to Parliament, he trusted that the angry feelings which now actuated them would be softened down, and that they would, even if late, do him full justice.—(Cheers.) But what had first occa sioned this disunion in the Liberal ranks ? Why, the question of Maynooth.----(Cheers and hisses.)—llid be shirk that question ?—(Cries of " No, no," and cheering, which was greatly increased when a stentorian voice shouted out—" You're a straightforward honest man.") —Sir William attempted to address the meeting in con tinuation, but was obliged to sit down for a time, as it was absolutely impossible to make himself heard in con sequence of the confusion arising from the dense crowd admitted into the building. After con siderable exertion oa the part of the Chair man, the Honourable Baronet proceeded to explain his reasons for holding that the grant to Maynooth was a just one. Would any man there find fault with a measure which provided that a proper education should be given to the ministers, who were te direct, at a future period, the religion of seven millions of Irishmen? Let them do away with the monster church of Ireland —(cheers)—that incubus vs hide press( d upon the ener gies of the country—(continued cheering)—and then the Irish would not ask this country for their paltry grant.—(Cheers and disapprobation.) A voice, "Be quiet, Miall's lot."—(Roars of laughter.) But this con test had turned not upon the proper political questions, but upon matters peculiar and personal to himself.— (Cheers.) The enemy, finding that they were driven from the one position, the hypothetical question as to what he should have done on the subject of Maynooth if he had been in the House of Commons, had tried other ground.—(Cheers.) The last question that had been raised—the last charge that had been made, had been that he had edited the works of Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury.— (Cheers, hisses, and great confusion.) At this time a person who had repeatedly interrupted the Hon. Baronet by his ill-timed and ridiculous ob servations, was ordered by the chairman to b‘s turned out of the room. In a second the unfortunate wight was with a degree of violence altogether unnecessary, pitched over the seats to the very feet of Sir Wm. Molesworth, and thence out to the street. A second person who had ventured to question the pro priety of this course, was by the same summary process ejected, and the rapidity of the punishment having quieted the other malcontents the Hun Candidate con tinued. He explained the nature of Hobbes' works, a, .d defied any of his opponents to produce from those works one line, or one sentence inimical to Christianity.— (Cheers.) Just before he had come to that meeting a paper (the Put ot) had been put into his hands, and there he found many extracts from Hobbes, but these he would inform them were garbled, and to understand them they should be read with the context. Those extracts, however, could not be tortured into anything derogatory to religion.—(Cheers.) Thomas Hobbes, he rep , ated, was one of the most profound writers of the times of the Commonwealth, and he (Sir Wm. Molesworth) should have thought he was doing a service to the literature of his country by spending a few thousand pounds in editing the works of this great man—(Cheer ing.) But he had b:en charged with having opened pulic-houses in the B xough.—(Cheers, and hear, hear.) He indignantly denied the charge. Anoth r imputation had been mach against him—a charge of wilful falsehood—by a person well known to them all. That person was Mr. Fisargus O'Connor— (Great con fusion, groaning, &e.)—and were he alone to be s tis fied he should disdain to reply.—(Cheers.) But he was assered to have advocated universal suffrage.—(Cheers and confusion.) He denied it most unequivocally.— (Cheers.) here a Chartist with the most admirable sang . fraid coolly distributed bills pUrporting to quote Sir IVilliam Molesworth's speech in favour of universal suffrage. The confusion that arose beggars description, but notwithstanding the shouts of " put him out," " throw him over." the undaunted bill distributor stood his ground. Sir William thanked them for their kind ness and sat down. Mr. HowELLsaid that there had been some interuption ' to their proceeding‘, but from whom had it arisen ? From professed Chartists—the tools of Feargus O'Con nor.—(Cheers, and tremendous confusion.) He (Mr. Howell) was that night entrusted with a resolution, pledging the meeting to the support of Sir William Molesworth ; he did not expect that it would be carried unanimously, for he observed that there were several well known persons in the meeting banded to oppose it. —(Cheers and hisses.) Why, even they were, it they but told the truth, in favour of Sir William Molesworth's principles, and on every question exceptin g one — t h e Ma } nooth grant.—(Cheers and hisses.) He would tell them what had occurred that morning to himself, and it was one of those things that, better than anything else, tested the opinions of candidates.—(Chews.) Mr. Filcher had called upon him that morning, and after some con versation, told him that, if Sir Robert Peel brought in a measure next session for the repeal of the corn-laws, he (Mr. Filcher), if in Parliament, would support him (Cries of " Oh, oh.") Now, would they not rather put their faith in the straightforward, than in the candidate who varied in his opinions.—(Cheers.) He might inform them that it had been said that Mr. Pitcher had promised, in the event of his being re turned, to defray the half of Mr. Miell's expenses. Mr. HEARNE, in seconding the resolution, said that some gentlemen canvassing for Mr. Filcher had called upon his wife and so frightened her with stories of Sir Molesworth's(mr. uinetiadrenlieydtihdatnttiite revokegd lady his pro mise William threatenedi h to vote against Mr. ;Mall, that he should not have an hour's sleep—(Laughter) — an d h e had therefore made up his mind not to sleep at all till after the election. The resolution was carried by a great majority. Thanks were awarded to the Chairman, and the meet ing broke up at ten o'clock. TEE SUN, LONDON, TURSDAY EVENING, fiI_EPTEMBER 9, WS.

ARRIVAL OF THE SQUADRON AT CORK. (From the Cork Examiner of Friday.) COVE, SEPT. s.—Wind E.—Arrived, her Majesty's ships Queen, Albion, Rodney, and Canopus ; also her Majesty's steamer Alban. They lost sight of the Admiral ship St. Vincent, Trafalgar, Vanguard, and Superb, on the 30th ult., in a fog, and have not seen them since, but they are ex pected by to-morrow. The four ships above• mentioned en tered the harbour this morning, shortly before six o'clock, and at half-past six o'clock saluted the Admiral with a dis charge of thirteen guns, which was instantly returned by the Crocodile (flag-ship), by a discharge of a similar number of guns, arousing the inhabitants of Cove to curiosity and ex citement ; and in about ten minutes after all the vessels were safely riding at ancher in the man-of-war roads. It is reported that these vessels parted company with the re mainder of the fleet on Saturday last in a heavy fog ; the other vessels, however, are hourly expected. Cove is all bustle and preparation . the river steamers are working " double tides," and, in fact, the arrival has thrown our city sight seers into a high state of ferment. The flag has been transferred from the Crocodile to the Queen, at whose lofty mast head it now floats. owing to the delightful wea ther with which we are at present blessed, the whole fleet, when in harbour, cannot fail to be seen to the very greatest advantage. Two o'CLocK.—We have just beard a rumour that, in consequence of the prevailing easterly wind, a portion of the fleet has put into Bantry Bay. (From the Southern Reporter of Saturday.) The St. Vincent, 120, Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, and the Superb, 80, Captain Corry, hove in sight early this morning and entered the harbour, having fired the usual salutes, which had a grand and most imposing effect. They are at present at anchor outside Spike Island, the tide not admitting them to come up to the moorings for a couple of hours. The fleet were close into the harbour of Crookhaven and off Bantry Bay on Tuesday, and beating to the eastward, wind S.E. THE WEATHER.—It afforded us much pleasure to notice in our last that the weather had at length taken up, and that there was every prospect of its continuing fine ; and we are now glad to record that since that time the crops have been brought rapidly forward by the continued influence of genial sun. It has been a week of glorious harvest weather, not only in our own immediate district, but throughout the length and breadth of the land, and the effects have been visible in the activity with which harvesting operations have in many places been commenced. A considerable quantity of barley and oats has been cut, and in several instances wheat has also given way to the sickle. There is much corn in stock, and not a little ha; already been housed, and is reported to be in fair average con dition. Our market-place has been thronged, early in the mornings during the week, with ahmtrers ; but the wages obtained, we understand, have been generally very low—vary ing from Is. 6d. to 2s. a day.— Car:isle Journal. Tuiu thavEsT.—The accounts of the weather from all parts of the country, and of the progress of the harvest during the last few days, are extremely gratifying. In this neighbourhood, the cutting of wheat has become general, and another fortnight of such glorious weather as we have at pre sent will leave very little outstanding grain.—Lancaster Guardian. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—At length we hsve The last fortnight has been de oshtarevhesset r w in e g a . the T r, an 1 the p ros p ec t o f it s con tinuance lightfully fine, and the sickle is now in unive r sal requisition. beautiful is m In this neighbourhood the grain crops have not sustained very much injury from the wet. Barley has, in some instances, where much laid, been damaged; but, generally speaking, the crops are fine. Wheat has sustained less injury than barley, and, if the present fine weather continues, there will be an average yield as to quantity, and the quality will be generally good. The crops of oats are exeeedingly fine. Potatoes pro mise a most abundant yield, and we do not hear that in any part of this county the weather has had the same injurious effect upon this most useful vegetable which it has had in some of the southern and western counties of England. On the whole, a good and abundant harvest may now, we think, with tolerable certainty, be relied on— Welshman. THE FISIIERIES. — ARERDEEN, SEFT. 1. The herring fishing is drawing to a close at this station, and has been throughout very unproductive ; the greatest number of boats at one time were under forty ; a good many left early in consequence of tempestuous weather and indifferent prospects for the remainder of the fishing season. The salmon fishing, which closes in the Dee and Don about the middle of the present month, has been pretty fair upon the whole. THE IRON TRADE.—In our notice of the coal and iron trade last week, and the recent strike of the work men, we expressed an opinion founded on information on which we could rely, that another rise in the price of iron might safely be calculated on. The advance which we anticipated has taken place during the present week, several of the largest houses in South Staffordshire having issued circulars on Thursday last, quoting the price of ba:s at 205., and pigs 105., in advance of the former prices. Under these rates no further orders will be executed by the leading firms. The effect of this rise will be injurious to the manufacturers of heavy goods, whose trade suffered severely during the rapid advance about nine months ago, and was but just recovering from the shock it then received. There is every probability, however, that the present rates will he maintained, as the de mand for rails for the new Companies is very great, and likely to continue so for some time. The colliers have given notice of another advance of sixpence a-day, but whether they will succeed in their present movement, the policy of which is very questionable after the late concessions on the part of the masters, remains to be seen.—Birniznyha ns Journal. According to a recent return it appears that the manufactories of France are increa,ing in an extraordinary degree. In the department of the Seine-Inferieure the num ber of steam-engines now at work is 345, and their aggregate force amounts to 3,600 horse-power. The great majority are employed at Rouen, Elbceuf, and Bolbec.— Galignani. IMPORTANT RAILWAY MEEIING.--There was a meeting of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Com pany held yesterday ( Friday) in Manchester, which was mo.t numerously and respectably attended, at which meeting it was resolved by a considerable majority, that it was inexpedient to carry into tffeet the agreement between the Manchester and Birmingham, and London and Birmingham Directors for the amalgamation of the two Companies.— Preston Guardian. PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS —Sir George Cayley suggests, in a letter to the Mechanic's Maga zine, two plans for the prevention of accidents on railways, caused either by collision or by the engine getting off the rails. His first suggestion is, that there should be a very large buffer fixed to the front of each engine to be co:npo>ed of "a series of large cushions or mattresses, well packed with some elastic material," to deaden the effect of a sudden collision. His second proposition is, that the front wheels of the engines should be provided with three or more grooves capable of running on the rails to prevent the engine from being thrown off in the case of any obstruction, which causes the engine to " jump." By this means the engine would be kept in the right course till the train could be stopped, and in many cases the accidents arising from the engine being thrown off the rails would be avoided. STALEYBRIDGE.—A CASE FOR LORD ASHLEY'S COMMISERATION.—The following conversation took place the other day ;—Master Manufacturer—" Well, William, I sup. pose you have been very busy these wakes, as usual ?" Butcher : " No, sir, not so buisy as last year. We have only killed 50 or 60 head of cattle this year ; last year we killed be tween 60 and 7 , ."—Master Manufacturer: " Why, William, how is that? The operatives are getting more wages this year than last.”—Butcher " That's the reason, sir; they have been more amongst the ducks, sir." Surely a commission ought to he sent to inquire if the poor distressed factory hangs are really reduced at list to duck and green peas. It is a proof that if common food were admitted from all the world, such would be the prosperity of the country that our farmers might become rich by growing luxurio for the million.—Leede Times. TILE LATE MRS. LAWRENCE.—It is now ascer tained that the vast landed estates of the late munificent Mrs. Lawrence, of Studley Park, are bequeathed as follows :—The. Studley and Ripon property, including Fountain Abbey and Hackfall, to Earl de Grey ; the Hutton, Sharrow, and Kirkby Ma'zeard est a t es , with the Moors, to the Earl of Ripon ; the Leicestershire estates to Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, Bart.; and the manor and estate of Kirkby Fleetham, to Mr. H. E. Wal ler, who, in case the dece..scd la‘ly had died intestate, would, it is said, have been heir-at-law to the landed property. Legacies to large amounts have been left to several useful pub lic charities and for religious purposes, as well as to many dis tant relatives and private friends.—Leeds Mercury. STATE OF IRF.LAND.—Nlaterially the state of the country is better than we remember for many years. The har vest promises well, if not superabundantly. The people are tolerably well employed —many of them on public works, and , not a few, at present, in the labours of the autumn. Manu factories are raising their heads in different localities, and there is, unquestionably, a movement in advance.—Dublin gveniny Pot. MEETING OF MR. MIALL'S FRIENDS. Mr. Miall met the electors last night at the Duke of Wartemburg Tavern, Hatfield-street, Stamford•street. The room was very full ; at least 300 persans must have been present. Dr. Ncwth was called to the chair. Mr. MIALL said, he wished it well understood for what it was that his supporters were about to give their votes on Thursday morning. He came forward especially on the question of the ecclesiastical policy just introduced by Sir Hebert Peel ; arid this had brought up the sub ject of Sir W. Molesworth's opinions on the nature of religious liberty. That gentleman had confessed himself an admirer of Hobbes, whose system was this,—that all men are in a state of natural war one with another ; that it is absolutely necessary, in order to the peace of so ciety, and the due government of human beings, that there should be a central, unlimited, arbitrary power ; that the despot should have power, not simply over the persons and the property, but over the conscience and the opinions of all his subjects ; and that it is rebellion against law to profess any other princi ples* of religion ;than those prescribed by the legal authority. A Maddox, too, had come forward with an address, expressing really terms of rapture on writings which in that same address he confessed he had - not read through.—(Hear, hear.) The best service that Sir William Molesworth's sup porters could do to the cause of civil and religious liberty would be to sit down at Hobbes's works early on Thursday morning, aad keep reading on till four o'clock in the afternoon.—(Loud cheers.) He (Mr. Miall) ' should be mortified to see this election regarded as a fight between Christianity and infidelity—a controversy to be decided not by votes, but by arguments ; nor would he introduce the topic, but for the absolute con nexion between religious opinion and the political sub jects that now came before them for settlement. A definite reply must be made to the Government and to both political parties, who had menaced the country with further interference with religious liberty. It was necessary to know whether Sir William Molesworth's religious opinions were such as to allow of the payment of all religionists, degrading the general mind of the people by making the ministers of instruction, who ought to be the first to lead them forward, the tools for effecting the purposes of the aristocracy.—(Cheers.) The Whig press was very wroth with him (Mr. Miall) for forcing his " crotchet" of voluntaryism on the public; but, deeply interested as he was in the cause of free trade, he felt that the question of the day was, whether this policy of encroachment on our religious liberties was to be fastened upon us or nipped in the bud ? The impending danger to the country came from an eccle siastical quarter ; and if, in our ardour for the repeal of the corn-laws, a proper stand was not taken against it, the people would deserve to be treated not merely as fools, but as slaves.—(Cheers.) He had come forward, further, as the opponent of the new poor-law, and of that system of centralization which, whatever its merits in a merely mechanical and executive point of view, was perfectly incompatible with the free movements of those institutions, whether municipal or parochial, which we regard as safeguards of freedom.—(Cheers.) On these points he differed from Sir William Molesworth ; and, testi* on the question of the suffrage. Under the existing system, both parties were " feathering their nests." An immense sum had been squandered by the Ecclesiastical Commission—not in sustaining and helping the poorer churches, or devising fresh means to convey truth to the people, but in building noble palaces for those who ought to be " clothed with humility."—(Cries of " Shame!") The people, if intrusted with the franchise, would in time see where their interest lay—in the maintenance of order, the protection of property, the sustentation of law, the dispensation of 'justice. As a believer in the great maxim, "Do unto others as you would they should do to you," and as an advocate for confiding in human nature, recognising in every man a friend and a brother, and raising his self respect by raising his position and station in society, he (Mr. Miall) was for universal suffrage.—(Great cheer ing.) Mr. Miall proceeded to urge his friends to be early at the poll, assuring them of his confidence of being, with their aid, successful. He then sat down amidst general applause. The usual resolution in his favour was moved by Mr. S. ALLEN, a member of the Society of Friends, seconded by Mr. TAYLOR, supported by the Rev. Mr. FOSTER, and carried unanimously, after which the meeting broke up. ACCIDENT ON TIIE BRIGHTON RAllMAT.—Yester day (Monday) morning, as the seven o'clock mixed train from Brighton was approaching the Clayton tunnel slowly, in consequence of the slippery state of the rails from the fog, a pilot engine, proceeding to its usual station at Horley, came up with the train, and struck the last carriage, a third-class, which was unhooked from the train. The passengers in that carriage suffered a severe shock, and many of them jumped out; in so doing, Mr. Neale, of Fleet-street, printer, was cut in the foot, and others sustained some bruises, amongst whom was a lady residing at Clapham. No injury accrued to the engine or carriage. The train was immediately stopped, and the carriage re-attached, and all the passengers, excepting a lady and gen tleman, who, we believe from alarm and not from injury, re turned to Brighton, were brought forward to their respective destinations in safety. [The above account of the accident is given in an evening paper, but at the London terminus'the matter was treated very lightly. It was said that the rumour of an accident had originated from the circumstance of two passengers having become alarmed by a slight " shake," and had left the train at the Hassock station, and returned to Brighton.] SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM FIRE-ARMS.—Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a serious accident occurred to Miss Amelia Philips, residing at North Bank, Lisson-grove. Mr. S. Philips, jun., was about leaving town on a shooting excursion, when in a joke he presented his fowl ing-piece at his sister, and imagining the piece to be only on half-cock, he touched the trigger, when the gun went off. The shot carried away a portion of Miss Philip's ear, and lodged in her neck and face, destroying the sight of the right eye. Me dical assistane was procured, and Miss Philips, though severely injured and in great danger, is expected to recover, though dis figured f„r life. REVIVAL OF PECKIIAM FAlR.—Yesterday Peck ham Fair, which for some years has remained in abeyance, in consequence of its having been suppressed by magisterial inter ference, was revived with more than its wonted glory. The spot selected for holding the fair is on the north bank of tLe Surrey Canal, at Peckham New Town, the fair itself being of great extent. There are a great number of shows, and no fewer than three booths devoted to horsemanship. Among the attractions for this day (Tuesday), a rowing match is to take place upon the canal between two clowns belonging to rival shows. SUPPRESSION OF A PRIZE FIGNT.—At Woolwich Police-court yesterday, Sergeant Glasscock brought up two prisoners, charged with having been concerned in a prize fight that had taken place that afternoon in the Erith marshes. The prisoners gave the name of John Hick and John Clark, and described themselves as iron-plate workers. The face of Hick, one of the principals, was covered with bruises, the left eye being blackened and fearfully swollen. Sergeant Glasscock deposed that last night he received information that a prize tight was to take place in the marshes. He accordingly went early in the morning with four constables. About ten minutes past one he !au. a mob of about two hundred persons coming towards the Leather Bottle, in the parish of Erith. Before he got up to them two rounds had been fought. Directly he went up the mnb ran away in various directions. The other princi pal got away, but he succeeded in apprehending Hick, who had neither shirt nor trousers on. Tht prisoner at first told him they were fighting for ten sovereigns, but afterwards he said it was only for two sovereigns. Clark got into a boat, and tried to aid Hick in escaping. The defendants were ordered to find good bail to keep the peace, and were remanded till this day. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO SIR ,JOHN MORDAUNT.-- We most sincerely regret to state that on Tuesday afternoon last, abut four o'clock, a very distressing accident occurred to Sir John Mordaunt, Bart., one of the Members for the southern division of this county, at his seat, at Walton, near Wellesbourne. He was shooting partridges, on his beautiful estate, accompanied by his relative, A. Mills, Esq. While thus engaged they came to a hedge, through a gap in which Sir John passed while Mr. Mills was walking behind him. The latter was in the act of unlock ing his gun, when by some means he accidentally touched the trigger, and the whole of the charge entered the calves of both the legs of Sir John, lodging upwards of 100 shots in the left leg, and upwards of 40 in the right leg. He immediately fell to the ground, and was taken up by one of the game keepers, who was in attendance, and instantly con veyed home. We are assured that the medical gentle men do not expect he will be able to walk for many w«eks; up to yesterday afternoon, they had not been enabled to extract any of the shot from the wounds—yet we are informed that the sufferer bears all with an excellent spirit of patience, and even cheerfulness. The sad occurrence has created the utmost anxiety in the neighbourhood, among all classes, as Sir John is universally esteemed for his excellence of heart and great kindness of disposition on all occasions.— Warwick Advertiser. DEATH BY DRINKING.-011 Saturday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Three Cranes, Fashion-street, Spital• fi. Ids, relative to the death of John Connell, aged forty, a labourer. The room in which the body was viewed by the jury exhibited an appearance of the most abject destitution, there being to bed, and scarcely any furniture. John Waller said that he knew the deceased, who about twelve months ago enjoyed a good slate of health. He had since been left ars annuity, by which he obtained about 16s. a week. Upon the receipt of that money he and his wife led a life of constant inebriation, the whole of the money being spent in drink. In witness's opinion his death was brought on from not taking the necessaries of life. He was offered to be ad•. mitted into the workhouse, but he refused to go there. Witness advised him to have medical assistance, but this he also ob jected to ; and he died on Friday evening. The Coroner asked if the wife was present?—Mr. Hart, the summoning officer, said she was then in a state of intoxication, and un able to attend. Verdict, " Natural death." At the Court of Assize of the Haut-Rhin, on the 29th, ult , a man named Freyburger, of the commune of Buet w tiler, was tried for the murder of M. Wagner, the Cure of that place. M. Wagner was returning from mass on the 10th of June last, when he was fired at and sturek by a ball in the head, and ten days after he expired. Freyburger was sus spected, for he was known to have uttered menaces against the Cure, who some time before had refused to read the burial ser vice over the wife of Freyburger, who had hanged herself, and had also on the following Sunday preached a sermon against sui cide. The man was arrested, and confessed that he had fired at M. Wagner from his window, but he pretended that he had done so because the Cure and some black man had been plotting against him. He gave other symptoms of insanity, but they were supposed to be simulated, and this was the Opinion of the jury, for he was found guilty, hut with extenuating circum stances. He was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment with hard labour.— French Paper. THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—With the exception of a slight shower of a couple of hours' duration yesterday, and a change of wind from the west to the east, the weather for the last eight days has been as fine as the heart of man could desire. The sun has shone brightly forth from a sky of the purest azure, and the atmosphere although almost fiercely hot, has been dry and breezy, and of the most favourite cha racter for harvest operations. In the earlier districts great progress has been made, and the few stacks in the barn yard give assurance that no time has been or will be lost. In the secondary districts harvest has barely commenced, but with a continuance of fine weather, all hands will he at work by the beginning of next week at the latest. In the hills, and amongst the latest growing districts, there will be no general harvest before the first of October. Wheat and barley are both well spoken of as to bulk, although it is feared that nv,lch of the former, particularly the spring sown, will be de ficient both in weight and quality. Oats, it is generally feared, will be less productive than on the avirage, and the same apprehensions are entertained as to beans and peas, which have shot out to an unusual length of straw. A few days, however, will give us some insight both as to the quality and produce o o n f on t h t e hi h s ar im v po est r , ta a n n t d m w l e tte sh r t l t a ak id e b c e a fo r r e e th ou a r t r a e m ad p e le rs. t. Caleflonian Mercury, THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON ' MONDAY 2tIOIZNLNG. —The Trent, ro y a l mail steam-ship, Captain Boxer, arrived this morning, at half-ps3t seven o'clock, with the usual West India and South American mails. Her latest dates arc—Tampico, 23d July; Vera Cruz, 2d, Havann::ll, 11th August ; lior;duras, 19th July ; Jamaica, 8:h August ; Cathagena, 28th July ; Dem; , rara, 3d, Trinidad, 4th, Barbadoes, Bth, Grenada. 9th, St. Thomas, 14th, La Ouayra, 7th, and Bermuda, 20:h August. She brings 13 77-100 lb. of platina, Sloz. of old lace, 2,743 ounces of gold dust, 3,00 ounces of plata labrada, 1,481 ounces of plata brut a, 356 serons of cochineal, 3 bales ofjalap root, 196,616 cigars, 15 cases of rare plants, and a quantity of other packages of various descriptions. The amount of dollars is 255,131, of which 55,563 are on account of the dividends, 6,000 of which are from Tampico, and the remainder from Vera Cruz. The news brought by the Trent, relative to the affairs of lexico, is neither decisive nor important. The news of the annexation of Texas had been received with great dissatisfaction, and which, in fact, continued to gain ground. The talk of fighting was very large, but it will no doubt end in smoke, for want of the means. The Minister of War had sift, a message to Congress, demand ing the sum of 15,000,000 dollars for the purposes of sup ply, but the grant was impossible. Ten thousand troops had been ordered to march to the Texian side, but by the date of the sailing of the Trent no move ment had taken place. The squadron, consisting of two steamers, two brigs, and several small vessels, were lying at Vera Cruz, preparing for defence, but it was reported that as soon as they were completely fitted out they would pro ceed to Jamaica for safety. Iler Majesty's brig Persian had arrived at Vera Cruz from Galveston. She left there on the 15th of July, and reported that the American flag would be hoisted in the Texas on the 17th. A large number of the American troops had already crossed the Texian frontier. Mexico, on the whole, was in a very excited state, in con sequence of the annexation question, but as to going to war, the idea seemed too preposterous to be entertained for a mo ment by the right-thinking part of the community. Business was almost at a standstill, and trade of every description dread fully distressed. This arises in consequence of the new tariff, which had been for some time promised, not having been pro mulgated. It is reported that the whole of the West India Islands, with the exception of Jamaica, were in a healthy state, and that, in accordance with the news brought by the last steamer, the crops continued to be promising. The troops in Jamaica were healthy, but fever and sickness had prevailed to some considerable extent amongst the community generally. Her Majesty's ship Eurydia was at Vera Cruz on the 24th of July, as also a French brig of war, La Perouse, and the Spanish brig La Patriots FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL BRUSSELS, SEPT. 6.—The official part of the Moniteur Beige contains to-day the following REPORT TO THE KING. Brussels, Sept. 5. Sire—The state of the crops in different parts of the king dom has constantly engaged the attention of your Majesty's Government. We have called on all the constituted authorities, and persons well acquainted with the subject. Though the facts are not yet completely known, the information we have re ceived is sufficient to demonstrate the necessity of immediate measures. The several kinds of corn have in general suc ceeded beyond the expectations that were entertained after a rigorous and protracted winter ; on the other hand, since the 4th of January, 1845, more than 44 million kilogrammes of foreign wheat have been entered for consumption in the coun try ; but the crop of potatoes, one of the principal articles of the subsistence of the most numerous classes, has almost wholly failed. With these facts before us, to prevent a rise in the prices of provisions, and the exaggerated fear which the people might conceive, we have the honour to propose to your Majesty im mediately to allow the :importation, duty free, of certain arti cles of food, till a date to be fixed by the law. We likewise propose for your Majesty to prohibit the exportation of buck wheat and potatoes, an immediate exportation of which there are some reasons to apprehend. If circumstances authorise these regulations, the nature of our institutions seem to require that it should be done without delay. The measure taken at once by the Government will be a new proof of the solicitude of your Majesty for the welfare of the people, and the convocation of an extraordinary session of the Chambers to deliberate on the especialobject will be a testimony of re ipect for their constitutional rights. If your Majesty should be pleased to approve the decree which we have the honour to lay before you, it would result that the modifications of the corn-law ♦oted under either cir cumstances will not receive royal sanction. The Minister of Finance, J. MALORE. The Minister of the Interior, SYLVAN VAN DE WEYER. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, A. DECHAMPT. Then follow two decrees. I. Art. 1. —Till a day be fixed by the law, the following articles are to be free from import duty :—wheat, rye, barley, buckwheat, beaus, arid vetches, oats, groats, pearl barley, the fecula of potatoes, vermicelli, and potatoes and rice. The above shall pay a duty of ten centimes per 1,000 kilo grammes. Art. 2. The exportation of buckwheat and of potatoes are prohibited. Art. 3. Our Ministers of Finance, the Interior, and Foreign Affairs, are charged, each, as far as concerns him, in the execution of the present decree, which shall be in force on the day after its insertion in the Moniteur. Given at Laeken, Sept. 5, 1845, (Signed) LEOPOLD. Countersigned by the three Ministers. 11. Convokes an extraordinary session of the Chambers for the 16th of September next. The King presided yesterday in a council of Ministers. ANTWERP, SEPT. I.—Great preparations have been made to receive Queen Victoria, who was expected between four and five o'clock. She will be received by the King and Queen of the Belgians, who have not yet arrived at the palace (half past two o'clock). DUTCH MAIL. AMSTERDAM, Sxrs. 3.—The number of travellers on the Dutch iron railway in the month of August, was 73,!391, and the receipts were 71,314 florins, which, added to the preceding amount for the first seven months of the year, make 439,438 travellers, and the receipts 4.19,867 florins. THE HAGUE, SEYT.4.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange has arrived to-day from Luxemburgh. BRIGIITON, SEPT. 6.—Lady Frances Gore and family, Lady Duff Gordon and family, and Lady Kavanagh and family, left here for Dieppe on Thursday, by the General Steam Navigation Company's packet Fame, en route for Paris. Lord Canterbury returned in the Fame yesterday from Dieppe. ROCHDALE MONTHLY CATTLE FAIR, MONDAY, SEPT. I.—There 'was a larger number of horned cattle in the fair to-day than at any previous fair during the year. Middle sorts of calving cows, drapes, and Irish beasts, went at from 5 to 8, and best qualities at from 4to 5 per cent. lower than at our last fair. There was a numerous attendance of country farmers, graziers, and butchers, and more than an average number of all sorts of cattle were disposed of. Good hay was about a penny per stone lower than it was a month ago, and straw about the same.— Preston Guardian. SCARCITY or COTTAGES IN PRESTON.—Such iS the scarcity of cottages, that a person who is building nine houses in North-road says he has at least 60 applications for them. Tenants are actually going into some new cottages before windows are put in.—Preston Guardian. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILwAY.—On Wed nesday last, the sixth and last arch of the monster bridge that spans the river Low ther, near the village of Clifton, West moreland, on this line, was keyed on that day, in the presence of a large concourse of people and workmen. Mr. Larmer, the principal engineer for the Company, went through the formali- ties n of which, arid e t r h e ' e m v o a n s y t u m s u u l al ti t o u n d e s u g cfi av e o c:charsie three n t s r e ; m o e n n d i. h o e u s t erm cheersi n a , t io all wishing safety and success to the important undertaking. After wards the workmen were regaled with a few barrels of ale; and, upon the whole, the occasion was one of the most interest ing character. The works generally on this line are making rapid progress. SYSTON AND PETERBOROUGH RAILWAY.-It is now clearly understood that this lice of railway will be proceeded with at each end, vis., from Syston to Melton, and from Oakham to Peterborough, as soon as the requisite notices have been delivered to the landowners and oc• cupiers. The Company are prevented from taking a great portion of the intermediate space for twelve months by a clause in their Act, unless by the consent of the Earl of Harborough ; but it is confidently hoped that long before the meeting of Parliament the Noble Earl will let it be seen that he is not opposed to a measure likely to prove so beneficial to the community, and that an amicable arrangement will be effected. It is thought that by running the line on the bed of the Oakham canal, past the park. his Lordship's principal ob jection .would be obviated.- Cambridge Chronicle. PAY OF ARMY OFFICERS.-By a revised warrant of her Majesty, recently issued, regulating the issues of staff and garrison pay, the following are the prescribed rates of daily pay allowed for staff-officers at home and abroad, who hold other military commissions or appointments :-General commanding in chief, if a field-marshal, 16'. 83. 9d. ; i f below that rank, 91. 9s. ; general, 51. 13s. 9d. ; lieuteoant general, 3/. 15s. 10d. ; major-general, 11. 17s. 11d. ; brigadier-general, IL Bs. 6d. ; colonel, 11. 2s. 9d. ; adjutant_ general, if serving at head-quarters, beaides allowance of 5001. a year, 3/. 153. 101 , if serving elsewhere, It 17.

BRANDLING JUNCTION P A ILWAY.—Third-class car riages have this week been run on the Brandling Junction Railway, and will be continued with every train in future. The fare from Sunderland to Newcastle i.; 9d., and to Shields 4d., so that the working classes can travel between these places at a most reasonable cost. This further accommodation to the public was promptly arranged by George Hudson, the moment he knew that it would be considered an ad. vantage to the district. The subject was brought under Mr. Hudson's noice last week by Mr. Johnassolm, of Sunderland. Arrangements have also been made by which the inhabitants of Sunderland, Shields, &c., will have the lull benefit of the express train for the south, which leaves in the morning at a quarter to nine, so as to book for all parts of the south. These will be great advantages to the Sunderland people, for which they are entirely indebted to Mr. Hudson, their active and highly influential Parliamentary represents tive.--.Durham ildvertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. M. Hall, of the firm of W. J. Hall and Co., of the Custom House Quay, waited upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose of making a communic Ilion to his Lordship relative to the suicide of a gentleman on his passage from Hull to London, in a steam-vessel. It appeared from a statement made by Mr. Hall, that on Saturday afternoon, the 6th of September, when the William Darley steam-vessel was on her passage from Hull to the port of London, a gentleman, best cabin passenger, jumped overboard near the Lower Middle Buoy abreast the Shears, and was drowned. The moment Captain Turner saw the unfortunate man in the water he ordered the engine to be stopped and reversed, and the boat to be lowered and manned. The order was instantly obeyed, but all the efforts of the crew were ineffectual. The deceased sunk, and was seen no more. No appeararce of insanity was attached to him as far as those on board had opportunities of ascertaining during the voyage, but he was observed to be exceedingly low-spirited and rest less. On Friday night he partook of tea with the rest of the passengers, and he sat in the cabin all night. On Saturday morning he took breakfast alone. At about two o'clock in the afternoon he h..(1 a small bottle of porter and a biscuit, and after the other passengers had dined he (lined by himself on d(ck, and soon after he had finished his meal he committed himself to the waves. He was about five feet eight inches tall, had a round face, appesred to be thirty or thirty-one years of age, and was dressed in a Taglioni coat, light drab trousers, light waistcoat, light neckerchief, and Wellington boots. According to the best of the recol lection of Mr. Barrow, the clerk of the William Darby, the deceased had a watch in his pocket at the time he jumped overboard. The following certificate was handed to the Lord Mayor : . "We, the undersigned, do hereby certify that we were pas seng?rs on board the William Darby steamer, Captain William Turner, which left Hull for London on the sth day of Septem ber, 1845, and on the 6th, when at sea, near the Lower Middle Buoy, a gentleman, best cabin passenger, jumped overboard and was drowned, and we, to the best of our j sclgrnent, do be lieve that Captain Turner used every exertion to save him, by lowering and manning a boat, and reversing the engines, bu it was all in vain. (Signed) " E. Pickering, J. Dobson, D. Milner, W. R. Grove, Geo. W. Codd, S. Wride, A pcssenger was booked as Mr. N. Coll, Norwich who was supposed to be the gentleman who drowned him. self, as a box with that name upon it was left on board and had not been claimed. There was also a light leather portmanteau, a coat, and fishing tackle, un• claimed. It was stated that the articl s specified as having been on board without being claimed may be seen for the purpose of identification by application to Messrs. Hall. H. Edwards F. Edwards, J. Rastram, Richard J. Pears, Wm. Mears Newton The deceased was said to have destroyed himself just as the other passengers had all moved to the opposite side of the vessel to look at the Gazelle steamer which was rapidly passing along. The LORD MAYOR approved of the course pursued by the captain of the William Darley, in causing the statement to be made public as soon as possible, and in order that the friends of the unfortunate gentleman might be made acquainted with the facts. It was also satisfactory to be assured that every thing that could have beep done by the captain to save the life of the de ceased had been done, as was evident from the wording of the certificate. Mr. Edward Morbleau, an old gentleman of rather eccentric appearance and manners, was charged with drunkenness. A policeman said, that as he was passing upon his beat, the defendant, who had all the evidences of a hard night's booze upon him, staggered along, and at last made a full stop, and turning round like a dog three or four times, to make himself comfortable, was about to Hump down in the kennel to sleep, when he was taken hold of and shaken. He had his watch in his hand to ascertain, as it was supposed, the exact time he was re tiring to his repose. Upon being brought round to some knowledge of the exposed condition of his bed-room, he, instead of expressing any feeling of gratitude for the care that was taken of him, swore that he had been robbed of 51. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Sir, what have you to say now that you are sober? The defendant—why, upon my word, my Lord, I did very wrong, I protest, in drinking beyond my power of carrying it in a steady and respectable way. The policeman added that the gentleman should have been discharged, but the complaint of the loss of the 51. cast an imputation upon the force, and it was therefore considerel necessary to introduce him to his Lordship. The defendant—l am a man, my Lord, advanced in years, and, therefore, I ought not to get turned over head and heels in liquor as I was. It was a scandalous act upon my part, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—I am most decidedly of your opi nion, if you are sincere. It is disgraceful to an old man to drink until he fancies himself no better than a dog.— (A laugh.) As you so candidly acknowledge your error, and as you have been confined in the station-house, 1 shall only fine you 55., but take care how you are brought here again. The defendant bowed to the very ground, paid the penalty, and departed. A young man, named W. Friend, who was stated to be an apprentice in Bishopsgate, was charged. with having gone into a public-house, owned by a Mr. Bromley, used most grossly offensive language, en deavoured to strike the landlo r d, an d with having actually struck two of the policemen. The landlord declared that although the defendant was a mere lad, he never beheld such an outrage as he had committed. The policemen said that be had kicked at and struck them most violently, and that half-a-dozen were obliged to get hold of him before he could be mastered, as they were determined not to use their staves upon him. He boasted that his friends had plenty of money to pay any penalty the Lord Mayor should think proper to inflict. The LORD MAYOR—..I do not intend to inflict any penalty whatever in a pecuniary way. But I shall cer tainly see what a month's imprisonment will do toetards his correction.—Committed to prison for one month. SIDCUP POLICE. A woman of decent appearance, named 21Tary Ann Gent, who was described in the warrant upon which she had been apprehended, by one of the Sussex constables, as a widow, was yesterday taken before J. Chapman, Esq., at the Sidcup Police Station to answer a charge preferred against her at the instance of the Board of Guardians of the Bromley Union, of having deserted her children, and left them chargeable to the parish of Cadham. Mr. Poole, the relieving officer, proved the case. He said the present warrant had been granted since 1839, but they had not been able to apprehend the defendant until the present time. There were originally five children chargeable to the parish, but three of them had been taken away by the de fendant's mother, and there were at present only two children in the house. Mr. Ch APMAN asked the defendant what she had to say in answer to the charge of having deserted her family, which she was, in law, bound to support and provide for? The defendant, with considerable earnestness, said that she had no desire to desert her children, but what could she do ? She had been left with five children, and it was impossible for her to support them. She had asked the parish to give her title help, but they would not do so. Mr. CHAPMA N said that if she was unable to support her family they would have been taken into the union workhouse. The defendant said they would not take the children unless she herself went with them. Mr. CHAPMAN said that was the law, and she was bound to obey it, Defendant—Yes, but they would not have let me be with the children. One of us would have been sent to the Bromley house, and the others to the one at the Cray. Mr. CHAPMAN said he would nut enter into any discussion upon this matter. She was bound to obey the law. The relieving officer said the defendant was a very bad cha racter, and the fact was she would not maintain her children. She had been committed once before for three months for ne glecting to do so. She was advised on that occasion to take care of her children when she came out of prison, but, instead of doing so, she ran away, and they had not been able to find her until the present occasion. The defendant admitted that she had been sent to gaol be fore, but she said Low was it possible for her to take her chil dren away when she came out of prison ? Mr. CHAPMAN said the offence had been proved, and he had no alternative but to commit the defendant again to the House of Correction for the full term. The defendant said that if a gentleman could feel himself justified in committing a poor creature to prison under such circumstances, she must of course submit to it. Mr. CHAPMAN said that after the former conviction she was liab!e to be sent for trial, and she would then be subject to a much severer puni,htnent. If she did Lot take away her children and provide for them, at the expiration of her impri sonment, it was very probable this course would be resorted to on a future occasion. The defendant was then ordered to be committed to the House of Correction at Maidstone, and kept to hard labour, for :hree calendar months. The constab!e who had apprehended the prisoner then applied for the amount of his expenses incurred in so doing, which was 41. ss. 9d., and after some inquiries had been made, the relieving officer was directed to pay the amount. SHIRLEY MARKET.—Shirley has commenced a market for the sale of pigs, sheep, horses, and other cattle, which took place on Friday, and was well attended. There was a good supply of pigs, which met with a very brisk sale ; the first lot was penned by Mr. Stockwell, of Shirley, and were purchased immediately for stock, and the supply was insufficient to meet the demands. There was likewise a plentiful supply of cows and horses, which also met vi ith a ready s al e . I t i s thought probable that this will become a good mai ket, as it will be a great convenience to many ; and at the ordinary which was held at the White Swan, several dealers expressed their determination to exert themselves to ensu re a goo d sup ply of cattle.—Hampshire Advertiser. REDUCTION OF THE HOURS OF LABOUR IN FACTO. min.—A most interesting and crowded meeting of factory operatives was held in the Temperance fill, Bolton, on Thursday evening last. The meeting was called by the operatives to take into consideration the propriety of soliciting their employers to reduce the hours of labour, and to adopt means for effectually carrying out the same. Several ad dresses delivered by operatives showed that they had made themselves acquainted with the evils of the present system. The/subject was viewed morally, physically, and economically; after which a number of resolutions, and an address to their employers, were unanimously adopted. The address requested that the masters would limit the hours of labour to eleven each day for the usual five days in the week—the hours on Saturday to remain as at present—and that the change might commence on the 224 instant.
