The following is an extract of a letter received at Lloyd's from their agent at Auckland, under date the 24th May : "The blockade of the port at the Bay of Islands is still in force. Another engagement has taken place between the natives and the soldiers, in which the latter have been par tially successful. About 14 soldiers and marines are killed, and the large number of 37 wounded. The natives, on the other hand, have about 100 killed, and a large number wounded. Hostilities have for the present ceased, and the troops are on their way returning to this place (Auckland).'' NOTICE TO MARINERS. TEIGN3IOUTII HARBOUR LIGHT-HOUSE.

YELLOW FEVER AT MALTA.—The Gazette du Mid: states that the Mongibello steamer, which arrived at Marseilles on the 16th of October, has brought news that the yellow fever had made its appearance on board a vessel which had entered th e port o f M alta. The number of cases was said to be two, one of which was followed by death. On receiving this news, the Neapolitan Council of State had assembled, and laid the matter before the Board of Health, which immediately ordered all vessels from Malta to be sub jefqed to a strict quarantine. This intellingence is not con firmed, however, from any other source. " LIRKING."—Sotne gents. in the little town of Cleobury Mortimer, determined upon having a " lark," rose rather earlier last Thursday morning than the bird of that name is ems. tomed to do, and about half-past two o'clock in the morning got into the church, and began pulling at the bells most unmercifully. Such a jangle at such an unreasonable hour speedily aroused the inhabitants, who were to be seen running about in all directions in a few minutes time, but before they got to the church the birds were flown. After giving vent to "curses loud and deep" upon the disturbers of tl.eir peaceful slumbers, they tumbled into bed again, and next day sent the crier round to offer a reward for the discovery of the offenders, but without effect.— Worcesfershrre Chronicle. INCREASE (SF ATTORNEYS.—According to the ofli cia list published by the authority of the members of the Law In stitution, it appears that 179 persons have given notice of intend ing to apply during the ensuing Michaelmas term to be admitted as attorneys to practice in the several Courts at Westminster. CHARLTON, OR HORN FAlR.—This annual car nival in the vicinity of Woolwich commenced on the 18th inst., and w .s concluded on Tuesday. The weather being remarkably fine and dry during the three days it lasted, thousands of the inhabi tants of the metropolis availed themselves of the cheap fares to Charlton and Woolwich, by the Woolwich and Watermen's steam packets, to etijey a short river excursion, and on no former occa. slots was the company at the fair known to be so numerous as on the present. On Monday evening, a number of the gentlemen cadets entered the fair and took two or three turns round the booths and stalls, and on some of them being refused admittance to wi ness the interior of one of the booths, it was apprehended a disturbance would take place, but fortunately their absence from barracks was soon discovered, and the appearance of Lieutenant Christie, at. tached to the Cadet Company, induced them all to return home. It was said there were several of the variegated lamps broken, but it is questionable by whom, as on former occasions, during the presence of gentlemen cadets, damage has been done to vehicles and other articles, and they have been charged with the offence, from an impression, which has in some instances been found correct, that their parents or friends would pay any reasonable com pensation rather than allow the names of the gentlemen cadets to be brought betire the public. There were hundreds of the Royal Artillery and Royal Marines et the fair every day, who conducted themselves in the most peaceable manner. Amongst the exhibi tions were three or four large tents, designated Fives Courts, and having the names of almost every professor of the art of boxing ex hibited in large letters to induce visitors to enter, but they did not appear to be well attended. Cheapness was the order of the day, the admittance to the principal booths for dancing having been re. duced frcm Is. to ad. each person, and those performances formerly charged 6d. and 3d. to witness them, uniformly reduced to Id., or, as they were appropriately designated, " Adm;ssion postage price, one penny." The police of the R division, by excellent manage. meat, a little coaxing. and, when necessary, a show of authority, succeeded in clearing the fair about twelve o'clock on each night with very little trouble. THE WEATHER ANT, CROPS.—The weather, during the past week, has been wet and showery, and few opportunities have been afforded for securing the crops in those places where they still stand nut. In this neighbourhood, beans excepted, the fields are nearly cleared. The almost total failure of the potato crop is exciting great alarm among all classes. Whole fields are so entirely destroyed, that they would not defray the expense of raising them. One hundred bolls of them have been offered for one hundred shillings, and refused.--Ayr Observer. RECRUITS FOR TILE ROYAL ARTILLERY.—MrjOr Greenwood, C. 8., left Woolwich in the early part of August last for Fight, on the recruiting service, with one non-corn nessioned officer and several gunners and drivers, and letters have been received at Woolwich from them stating that they had not obtained one recruit. This has not arisen from any want of exertion on the part of the Gallant Major and the men en gaged under his directions, but is entirely owing to the poor prospects held out lay 6d. per day pensions on retiring from the service. Formerly some of the best and well-educated young men in the counties of Aberdeen, Bann; Moray, Nairn, and Inverness, joined the Royal Regiment of Artillery, and several of them have been deservedly promoted from the ranks, and now enjoy the highest position they can attain as commissioned officers, and staff non-commissioned officers, with certainty of excellent retiring pensions on quitting the service, It is doubtful, however, if these parties would ever have been induced to enlist in the Royal Regiment of Artillery had nut the prospect of Is. per day been held out to them under any circumstances, and without rising from the ranks; and it is well known that the poor pittance of 6d. per day held out to ycung men as the reward for serving their country during the best part of their lives, is the cause of the great reluct ance of Scotchmen to join the Ordnance corps, and even line regiments, at the present period. It is not generally known that the pension warrant, reducing the former pension warrant from Is, to 6d. a-day, held out the prospect of Id. additional per day to every, soldier's pay at the end of seven years of good conduct ; lid. per twenty-one ay atthe end of f ourteen years, and 3d. per day at the end of years, which he may enjoy in addition to his pension ; but young men do not comprehend these gradations, and consequently are r e l uctant to enter the ay service.reind rescind ed Were the pension warrant of six pence a d one shilling, as formerly substituted, Insignificant, and an excellentnee class of young men would b e i nduced to enter the co rps. The Royal Sappers and Miners' branch of the ordnance service find no difficulty in obtaining recruits in Scotland at present, and Glasgow has furnished a large number. The preference is given to the , Royal Sappers and Miners, because the men are allowed pay for working as well as spieler's pay, and Scotchmen, with t h e i r generally provi tent habits, place deposits in the savings-bank, to assist them in ilicreaSing the amount therhave to depend on when they are discharged from the service.--Times. SINGULAR TRAIT OF HONESTY.—In the course of Saturday a shop boy was sent to the bank with a 201. note to get it changed into small notes, the which, having got, he put them for safety into the crown of his bonnet. As he was passing al)ng Ingram-street, a sudden gust of wind blew off his bonnet, and the notes took flight in various directions. The boy stood aghast, and, as was natural, shrieked in despair of his ever recovering a single note; but fortunately for him, and as displaying a trait of honesty highly commendable in the denizens of Glasgow, various parties, who had ran in pursuit of the stray notes, came, one by one, till at length he was put in possession of the whole twenty.— Glasgow Argus. 67th Regiment, Royal Barracks, Dublin—The Board of Ordnance are ordered to issue out to this corps 856 havre sacks. SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT AT EALING.—On Tueslay morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a frightful accident occurred to a young man named West, a brick Byer, who was at work on a scaffolding at the mansion of Sir John Young, at Ealing. He was walking along the planks, at a height of thirty feet, when one of the boards not being properly fixed over the por. tico, it overact, precipitating him to the ground. In his fall his head struck the scaffolding poles with great violence. He was removed to St. George's Hospital, where it was ascerained that the skull was so extensively fractured that no hopes are entertained of his recovery. OTAUEITE..—I3y the Indus, which arrived at Liver pool on Saturday last, *deices have been received from Valparaiso to the 28th of June. A letter, dated the 21st of July, addressed to a mercantile house in this town, contains the following rather startling announcement :—" We have a report here that her Ma jesty's steamer Salamander has been sunk by a French frigate, the Uranie, at Otaheite; but we have not been able to trace the re port." in the absence of any information as to the source of the report, or the channel by which it had reached Valparaiso, we can not consider it entitled to credit, particularly as a letter of the 28th gives no further information respecting it. —Manchester Guardian. ARREARS OF BUSINESS IN THE COURT OF QUEEN'S Baum—Notwithstanding the exertions made by the judges of this Court, and the extension of their sittings under Lord Denman's Act in Banco, the special business of the Court is still greatly in arrear; according to . the list made out and corrected for the ensuing term, it appears there are 122 rules for new trials standing for argument, one of which was moved for in Michaelmas Term, 1845, and the same list also contains the names of seven causes, in which rules for new trials had been granted, but are waiting the judgment of the Court ; one, the Corporation of Colchester a. Brooke, being dated so long back as Michaelmas Term, 1842. The special paper is also heavy, there being 53 special cases and demurrers in addl. tion to the enlarged rules. On the Crown side there are 32 en.. larged rules, and 19 cases in the Crown paper; the arrear of busi ness at Nisi Prius, both in London and Middlesex, is, however, comparatively light; in the Courts of Exchequer and Common Pleas, the arrears of business, particularly the latter, so far as the causes, numerically may be considered, as compared with the Queen's Bench, is trifling. GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE, OCT. 21.—Notwith standing the fall in prices here, the accounts from Liverpool state the prices as higher, with increased firmness. Sales were made here to-day at 87s. 6d., although there appear to be few sellers at this price. Many holders are willing to quit at 90s. We quote 89s. cash as the price of the day.—Glasgow National. HONESTY TILE BEST POLICY.—We insert the fol lowing, communicated from a quarter on which we can rely, in the hope the proverb may once more be realised. An Englishman, an old resident in this town, who has been ac customed to earn his bread by the sweat of brow, and was consequently found in situations sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse, has, from adverse fortune, seen the last extreme of the latter, and is now in ourjail. It appears that he was arrested on Friday last by a tradesman of the town (likewise an Englishman) for 385 francs, the costs in an action some time since decided between the parties. Under standing that his creditor would accept 100 francs in full of all demands, if ha could raise the money, he applied to a French gentleman in the Upper Town (and gentleman he is, as hun dreds can testify) who having heard his tale immediately presented him with the needful. Pleased beyond description he hastened to his creditor to tell the happy news. Judge of bis feelings when the latter insisted on his full demand. The poor man returned heavy hearted to his kind protector, explained that his assistance was of no avail, returned the 100 fr., and went to prison. We have heard much of French tradesmen persecuting their English debtors. but after this, "the less said the better."—Boulogne Gazette. ACCIDENT AT TIVIDALE.—A fatal accident oc curred on Thursday night last to a man named Benjamin Nicholls, who was engaged in the pit of Messrs. Wagstaff and Skidmore (where the late dreadful explosion occurred), in getting coal. The cause of death, a very frequent one in the mines of South Staffordshire, was a portion of coal giving way in the working in which Nicholls was engaged, which buried him underneath, by which he was dreadfully crushed, and died of the injuries he re ceived. An inquest was held before George Hinchliffe, Eiq., Coroner, when it appeared that no blame was attached to any one connected with the management of the pit, and the jury returaed a verdict of " Accidental death.

ACCIDENT AT BUCKINGDAat PALACE. —A n acci dent of a somewhat alarming character, but, happily, not attended w ith any very serious consequences, occurred the other day at Buckingham Palace. While some of the workmen who are em. ptoyed in erecting a stone staircase, to lead to the Queen's private apartments, were lowering a large stone, one of of the ropes gave way, when the former, with its immense weight, was precipitated upon the structure beneath, anJ completely crushed It. FORGERY BY A YOUTH.—A boy, fifteen years of age, was committed from Greenwich Police-court on Wednesday charged with having forged two cheques for 151. and 201. in the name of the firm, Major and Wallace, on Messrs. Barclay's bank ing-house, where they had been cashed. The principal evidence against the prisoner was a letter written to his brother-in-law from Maidstone gaol, in reply to one upbraiding him for his con duct. In that letter Collins admitted having forced open a drawer and got possession of a blank cheque-book, and filled in the two cheques. The prisoner was apprentice to Mr. Lindells, of Bridge. court, Fleetstreet. The prisoner's brother-in.law is clerk to Messrs. Major and Wallace, and the prisoner lived in his house, and by this means had opportunity of imitating the signature of the firm. SYMPTOMS OF REACTION.—From the rumours so industriously circulated by some of our contemporaries, it would appear as if no deposits were in future to be paid, and that every railway prospectus was based on fraud and nourished on pecula. flan. But how stands the fact P The cry of want of money, the audacious anertioti that no deposits would in fu lure be paid, was refitted by the fact, that never was greater anxiety evinced to be in time, than yesterday. The crowds at the various banks between four and five o'clock were unpara. Jelled; the anxiety depicted on every countenance showed how much they feared being too late. And these proceedings show that the malignant influence attempted to be exercised has no per. manent influence on the market —The Shareholder. FIRE AT PORT-DUNDAS GLASSWORKS. On Thursday forenoon, a fire occurred at these extensive works, which might have been of very serious consequences, but for the prompt and energetic assistance afforded by the fire-bri• gale, which was speedily on the spot, an d, a id e d b y t h e workmen, succeed,in preventing the flames from extending to the bottle-houses, works, and warehouses, confining its ravages wholly to the crown-glass house, lately erected, the roof of which was entirely destroy e d. The works are in sured in the Sun Fire Office, and the loss may be estimated at 500/. This occurrence is the more to be regretted, as it deprives of employment for a time a numerous body of workmen, besides interrupting an important branch of ma nufacture, the establishment of which has been now, for the first time, attempted iu Glasgow.—Gl asgow N a ti ona l THE EQUITY AND THE LAW COURTS.—The lists of arrears of the several equity and common law courts have as yet not been exhibted. Buisiness will be commenced on Monday week, on tl.e commencement of Michaelmas term. It appears by a parliamentary paper that the salaries of the Judges of the Court of Chancery amount to 33,000/. ; of those of the Court of Queen's Bench, 28,000/. ; and a similar sum for the Judges of the Court of Common of Pleas, whilst the salaries of the Barons of the Exchequer are 27,0001. The highest salary is that of the Lord Chancellor, who has 10,000/. The Lord Chi ef Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench has the next in amount, 8,0001, Court which of is the paid to the Court Pleas, and the Chief Baron of the Exchequer has 7 0 0/. The su s m alaries of the Judges of the four courts amount together to 1 23,5771, a year THE ANTI-CORN-LAW BAZAAR FREE-TRADE HALL. In our last, we gave the receipts of the first three days at this bazaar. On Saturday it was honoured with several visits of a remarkable character. In the after noon, upwards of nine hundred workpeople of Messrs. John Bright and Brothers, Rochdale, had a holiday given them by their employers. A special train con veyed them to Manchester, and the firm gave them free admission to the bazaar. They walked in procession, headed by a band of music, through the streets from the railway station to the Free-trade Hall, where they pro menaded with great delight for some time, observing the greatest order and de corum , an d most o f th em making small purchases, chiefly of useful articles. During the afternoon, a still larger body of the work people of Mr. John Whittaker and Sons, of Hurst, WO believe about twelve hundred in number, entered the bazaar, and remained there for some time, much de lighted with what they saw, and many of them making trifling purchases at the stalls. About a quarter-past one o'clock, as previously announced, Prince Hilal, son and heir of the Imaam of Auskat, attended by two of his officers, Saad Abdah and Hamaid Abdah, and also by Captain Cogan and the interpreter, Assaad Kayat, entered the Free-trade Hell, and the Prince was loudly sheered. He was received by Mr. George Wilson, the Chairman of the League, and Mr. R. R. Moore, who conducted him to the platform that he might see the Hall; and these gentlemen subsequently conducted him round the Hall, that his Highness might inspect the various stalls. Mrs. Cobden, Mrs. George Wilson, and Mrs. Thomas Woolley were introduced to his Highness; and at one of the stalls Mr. George Wilson presented to his acceptance a very large and magnificent knife, a sort of chef-d'ceuvre of Sheffield manufacture, worth about 251., which his Highness much admired and cor dially accepted. The Prince and his two officers signed their names in a book at one of the stalls, the Prince writing his name in Persian characters (we believe) " Hilal Saad;" the other two names we have' already given. The orientals all wore their Eastern costume ; the Prince, from some religious feelings, wearing a dress without any display of magnificence; his turban was of white cotton. He is apparently about thirty four or thirty-five years of age, his countenance and manners interesting, and his features and conversation, especially his interrogatories, put through the interpre ter, displayed considerable intelligence and acuteness. His officers followed him at a respectful distance, and they carried richly-ornamented scymitars or swords. His Highness, remained about an hour in the bazaar, during which time the Mayor and Mayoress were intro duced to him; also Mr. Cobden, and Mr. G. R. Porter, of the Board of Trade, who has been:for some days on a ' visit to the town and neighbourhood. During the visit of the Prince the bazaar was thronged with curious visitors. The receipts of Saturday were, at the doors, 581. 35.; stalls, 339/. 18s. 10d.; total, 398 L Is. 10d. On Monday there was a still larger influx of visitors, 781. ss. being received at the doors, and 2691. 19s. 4d. at the stalls; total, 348/. 4s. 4d., making the total receipts of the five days 1,9341. 18s. 6d. Yesterday the receipts at the doors were 84/. 6s , and at the stalls 3821. 2s. ; together making the receipts of the sixth and last day 4661.

We understand that there still re main articles unsold worth 1,4001. or 1,5001., and that it is intended to dispose of them by raffia or otherwise, in about a fortnight.—Manchester Guardian. E_SITN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING : , OCTOBER 24, 1845. AFFRAY WITH POACHERS. HORNCASTLE, Ocr. 21.—Yesterday two men, named John and Robert Kent, were brought before the magistrates of this division, charged with poaching in the preserves of Earl For tescue, at Tattershall, and also with shooting at John Hay lock, one of his Lordship's gamekeepers, with intent to mur der, or do him some grievous bodily harm. The facts of the case are of a most singular character. It appeared, from the evidence of Haylock and other witnesses, that owing to continued depredations h'avir g for the last month been committed on Earl Fortescue's pre serves, the keepers received orders to watch for th e par ties. The poachers continued, however, to elude the vigi lance of the keepers until Thursday night last, when Hay lock being out on his usual rounds, armed with a gun, heard the report of fire-arms in a_ preserve adjoining the field which he was then crossing. Without waiting for assistance, he ran in the direction from whence the sound proceeded, and perceived a man making off towards the opposite side of the preserve. Haylock, a young and active man, soon gained upon the fellows, and the night being bright, he re cognised in the perm:in of the poacher the elder Kent (the prisoners are uncle and nephew), who was well known in that part of the country as a common carrier between Boston, Horncastle, and Tattershall. The keeper challenged him by name, and said if he did not surrender he should fire upon him. The fellow made no answer, but being joined at the moment by his nephew and associates, the poachers turned round and made a show of resistance. The keeper rushed upon and grappled with the elder prisoner, who, however, managed to shake him off, when the younger man discharged his piece at the keeper, but fortunately without doing any serious injury to his person, owing to an intervening clump of trees. Both the poachers then attacked him. Though opposed by such unequal odds, he maintained the struggle with his antagonists until the younger ruffian felled him to the earth by a blow on the head, with the but-end of his gun, Haylock having previously broken his own piece in the contest. The poachers, conceiving that he was dead, made off. After lying for some time in a state of insensibi lity, he was restored to consciousness by acute pains in his chest and loins, his clothes having taken fire, as he sup posed, from the wadding which struck him when young Kent discharged the gun. After an ineffectual attempt to quench the fire, which had then penetrated to his chest, he managed, though compelled, by the loss of blood from the wound inflicted on his head, to crawl to a shallow dike, and, by rolling his body in the water, to extinguish the fire. He then proceeded to the house of Mr. Jones, farm bailiff, who went off for Mr. Blades, surgeon, and upon that gentleman's arrival, the hemcerrage was stopped, but for the two following days the patient was considered to be in very great danger. On the following morning the constables of Tattershall, with several other perahns, visited the spot, which presented traces of the struggle. At the place where the keeper was knocked down there was a quantity of coagulated blood, to gether with his keys, a pocket-knife, and at a short distance off, his powder-horn, which was broken in pieces, the powder having exploded when the clothes took fire. A dead hare was also found, which the poachers, no doubt, threw away in their flight. Hayffck having clearly identified his assailants, both were committed for trial at the next assizes. The elder Kent, though ostensibly pursuing the avocation of carrier, is un derstood to have been one of the most practised poachers in the district.

Everything remains tranquil here, and we are without later dates from Monte Video, which seems to be a studied measure on the part of the Ministers. Brazil, it is believed, will be neutral. The army of General Oribe will never be compelled to retire by the blockade of the Banda Oriental. Supplies will be received by him through Rio Grande, and already a free port has been declared on the Laguna, which communi cates with Rio Grande. The destruction a property in the Banda Oriental will be greater than ever, and the truth will then become more manifest, that by armed in tervention England is only destroying the proper y of her own subjects, inasmuch as the debts due cannot be paid if the natives are ruined by the war; and the property of Bri tish subjects cannot be expe,ted to share a better fate than that which befalls the property of the inhabitants; more especially so, when the Governments of England and France have undertaken to redress the real or i mag i nary wrongs of the natives -- a matter which, in reality, does not concern them. There is no business doing, the shopkeepers sell nothing, and they cannot pay. Exchange is ad. per paper dollar. Notwithstanding the strong petition of the captains of vessels loading at the Busso to be allowed only a few days beyond the 12th August, Mr. Turner, our charge d'affaires at Monte Video, refused, and they were obliged to return to Buenos Ayres only partly laden. During Wedro-sday the 'following accidents were admitted at Guy's Hospital. The first case was that of Mary Ann Collett, aged thirty-nine years. She resided at 77, Devonshire-street, Kennington. At an early hour on the same morning, the lodgers in the house were alarmed at hearing screams proceeding from her bed-room, when, upon hastening thither to ascertain the cause, they found her in bed with her night-clothes on fire; they extinguished the apprenticer e flames as speedily as p oss ibl e, and conveyed her to the hos pital. She w as so much burnt about the bead, b ac k, an d arms, that she h as b een una b le yet to account for the occur rence. e The on see b o onadrdship case that Victoria,of Ro n b o e w rt Rob in son, lyin g o ff s a t ! Katharine Docks. On crossing the deck his foot slipped, and he was precipitated headforemost down the hatch way into the hold, falling upon his head, whereby he sustained a severe concussion of the brain He lie carious state. Th e thi r d case was that of Theresa in a very- pre carious Littlew eood, aged ten years, whose parents reside in Broadwall, Black friars, who, whilst reaching something from the mantel-piece, set her frock on fire. Sh e was severely burnt about the neck, shoulders, and hips. The fourth cl i s e e was that of Robert Overn, aged thirty-th ree vears. on his master's premises, No. 15, Charles-street , `vim Oakley street, Lambeth, attending to a h orse, when he wasY squeezed by the animal against th e wa l l of the building, by which he received several severe contusions, besides internal injuries. IMPROVEMENTS IN PICCADILLY. —The Commis • sioners of Woods and Forests have commenced their projected im provements in Piccadilly, which is to be widened to 70 feet, from Park-lane to Bolton-street, by taking in about 30 feet of the Green. park. The workmen have already removed a large portion of the iron railing, and razed the ground, the brick wall, and the ledge. The improvement is to be completed with all possible dispatch ; it will be of great advantage to the inhabitants as well alto the public. OMNIBUS ACCIDENT ON LUDGATE- lIILL.—On Wed nesday afternoon, about four o'clock, an accident occurred on Lud gate-hill, which leaves no doubt will be attended with the death of a fine and beautiful male child, named Edward Flemming, a ge d fi ve years, the son of a glass manufacturer of that name, residing at No. I, Loveday-street, Smithfield. It appears that a Wandsworth and City omnibus was proceeding down Ludgate-hill, when the child was observed suddenly to shoot out from among the throng of passers-by into the road, and before the driver was aware of the cir. cumstance the poor child was knocked down by the horses, and the near fore-wheel had passed over his neck and head. The little sufferer was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The unfor tunate: child, who, it was stated could not possibly survive many hours, was in the charge of a female servant. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE AT ROCHESTER. —A quantity of plate was missing on Wednesday morning from the pantry of the house of Captain Thomas Baker, at Bolry_hill, Rochester. It appears that the foot-boy, about twelve o'clock, left the pantry for about an hour, and on his return he missed the basket containing the plate. The robbery, therefore, must have been committed during the temporary absence of the boy. The articles stolen are twelve table forks, twelve dessert forks, eleven tea spoons, eight table spOons, two sauce ladles, five salts, one butter knife, two gravy spoons, one soup ladle, and one fish knife. It is somewhat singular that at the time of the robbery there were several pieces of ; late on the pantry which the thieves did not touch. The value of the plate thus stolen is 601. In formation was instantly forwarded to the police-station, and also to the Stroud terminus of the Rochester and Gravesend Railway, but up to a late hour last night no real clue to the robbery has been found by the police. This makes the third extmsive robbery in this city within the last five weeks. . ii-t. The following important intelligence from Buenos Ayres was received at Liverpool on Wednesday, and posted in the Underwritets' Room : BUENOS AYRES, AUG. 18.—Two hundred marines have landed at Monte Video. Several English and French vessels have gone up the Uruguay to reconnoitre, and it is supposed that all amicable negotiations are now at an end. Rosas makes a merit of showing the utmost protection to all the English on shore. It will, in all probability, be a long affair with th e f orces now in the river ; but it is supposed they do not wish to push the matter, in expectation of the arrival of additional force. The Sala (House of Representatives) was occupied yes terday in reading the correspondence between this Govern ment and the foreign Ministers, which it is supposed will occupy them three days more, after which the discussion will take pine. AUGUST 20.—1 t is said that the French and English forces intend taking immediate possession of Cblonia, and placing a garrison there. This being a central point will prove a rendezvous for all the disaffected of Oribe's army. The feeling gains ground to-day that Rosas will resist to the last, so confident is he of his resourc. s. It is said that he intends immediately to put the town under martial law, and turn every male out to drill each day—keeping at least 15,000 men under arms in the town. _Aelarsr 21.—The Sala met again to day, and is said in tend proposing to declare our treaty null and void, on th e plea that the English have often violated it. In consequence of the blockade of Buseo by the French and English ships, Oribe has declared a free port on the Lagoa Mirrim, from whence he will draw his supplies at a cheaper rate than at BLIChOS Ayres. BUENOS AYRES, AUGUST 19.—The Advices from Monte Video are to the 17th inst., several of Brown's vessels are fitting out under French and English flags, and the Monte Videan flotilla of boats Was getting ready supposed for a cruise up the Uruguay. The French corvette Expeditive and the English schooner Dolphin returned here this morn ing. We do not know what the plans of the admirals may be, but apparently Oribe will not evacuate the Monte Videan territory, unless compelled by superior force, and the admirals, although supreme by water, are very weak by land. In Buenos Ayres every thing remained very quiet, but the Gaceta has been very violent in its leading articles. Yester day the Sala met, and all documents regarding the negotia tions were laid before them: they are very volumnious. It seems to be generally understood that an appeal will be made to European cabinets, and it is supposed that the present conveyance carries despatches to that effect. The levies in the country, particularly to the south, continue, and the troops are being drawn nearer the town. AUGUST 20.—The reading of the documents at the Sala to-day has just finished, and to-morrow the discussion will commence. There is an opinion that the English and French v. - ssels will be refused entry here; should this be the case, we mad• look for an immediate blockade. BUENOS AYRES. AUGUST 12.—You will find a copy of the dispatch from Mr. Ouseley to the Monte Videan Government. By its tenor you will easily perceive that if this Government persists in not withdrawing its troops, serious consequences will follow. The anniversary of the defeat of the troops under General Whitelock was celebrated here to-day in the most orderly manner. AUGUST 16.—Please request our friends to suspend ship ments, even of goods prepared, for we see no prospect of any arrangement ; but, on the contrary, that this port will have to be blockaded, and a powerful expedition sent to this country, before this Government will accede to the unjust demands of England and France. We are think ing of shipping all our goods to Valparaiso. You have en closed a copy of the memorial to Lord Aberdeen ; it has no other object in view than the protection of British interests in these countries, and to stay, if possible, the certain ruin which must attend us, if an armed inter vention is continued. You will notice by the newspapers the spirit which is growing up against us, and it is but too true that it is the work of our own Government ; and surely, as British subjects, we have a right to oppose by a ll legal means such as may bring our ruin. The local political affairs of the country do not concern us so long a s we are amply protected, which, in the strictest sense, we have hitherto been. EXETER, Ocr. 22.

MIDLAND RAILWAY ACCIDENT. 16766d1 The following letter, from the son of Mr. Matthew Hill, the eminent barrister, who was a passenger by the train, was published in a morning paper of yesterday :—" Don't be alarmed, I am all safe, life and limb, but I had the narrowest escape I ever met with. Soon after we passed Sheffield our engine burst one of its cylinders, and broke the piston-rod. This was cleared in about a quarter of an hour, and with the other cylinder we proceeded about four miles beyond Beursley, at a foot pace, sending word by a luggage-train that passed us for a fresh engine : this overtook us at such a violent pace, as to crush up the'last carriage, a second-class, and drive it bodily into the one I was sitting in— a first class. Fortunately, I was in the centre compartment, and not in the last. I was thrown furiously forward, and pitched head first into the opposite seat. I lost no time, you may be sure, in picking myself up and getting out, when a horrible scene pre sented itself. The compartment immediately behind mine was filled with shrieking and groaning victims, calling for assistance. The guard and I soon opened the door and dragged one man out, who, the moment he reached the ground, fell. We soon had him up, and I led him to the bank, seated him, felt his leg, and pronounced no bones broken. Returning to the carriage, I saw a horrid sight—an old gentleman with white hair was sitting with firm determination, his legs being both jambed between the buffer of the second class, which had penetrated into the centre, and his own seat— one leg cut completely off, except a small piece of flesh, and the other dreadfully smashed ; and what was worse, so fast were the carriages stuck, that it was nearly an hour before he could be released. A poor man with one leg escaped by a miracle losing that one, and as it is is much hurt; a lady is much cut, and bruises are like blackberries. As soon as I saw suffi:ient people attending the wounded I sent an old gentleman, with a terribly crushed hat, one way with a red lamp, whilst I went the other with another; by this means we stopped a down train, which might have rushed in upon all the passengers. Son after da) light an engine came and fetched us away. My carriage was forced off the rails, and the rest of the train before it broke at'ay, and went on for 100 yards, in which we went on. I luckily ssveil my level at first, and fortunately found everything right at last, with the exception of a slight hurt on the cab of my leg, ant my nerves a good deal shaken. lam all right.—Royal Hotel, Leeds, Monday morning." • 6 CH KIST'S Hosi.ITAL. On Wednesday the Lord Mayor, the Lord M.zv r elect, se - venal of the Aldermen and the Comm..ll Counci;, Goyerno-s, and the City officers, proceeded in taeir carriages to Christ's Hospital, for the purpose of hol•iing a court of all the r Tat hospitals, to receive a corrected list or the governors of the hospitals, to be confirmed according to ancieot usage In consequence of the meorrectne-s of the lists of governors presented on St. Matthew's day to the Lord Mayo', his Lordship refused to confirm them, a•.d sent. them back to the hospital for revision. It had been particularly oltseryea that the authority of the Lord Mayor as the head of Christ's Hospital, upon two recent occasions, was altogether denied - by the majority of the governors, viz., those governors who - do not derive their rights from a City of London corpo; atton - parentage. The subject was taken up by the Corporation upon the presentation of the Lord Mayor's rep .rt of what - had occurred on St. Matthew's day at Christ's Hospitte., and _ a resolution was adopted unanimously, after a high eulogium - upon the firm and judicious conduct of the Lord Mayor, - that his Lordship should be requested to send round to the 7 - several hospitals for corrected lists, and to appoint a day to - receive them. It was generally understood that those who had deried the authority of the chief magistrate as head of the royal - hospitals intended to close the doors of Christ's Hospital - against him and the other members of the Corporation, and much interest was excited by the expectation that a row would take place. The consequence of the non-confirma tion of the lists is, that the new governors are for the time • disqualified. - At about half-past two o'clock the governors of the several royal hospitals began to assemble, but on arriving at the grand entrance in Newgate-street they found the doors locked, and they were told that the entrance to the hos • pital was at Christ Church-passage. They proceeded to • that entrance, which leads to the court-room, and were on • the way met by Mr. Trollope, the clerk of the hospital, who informed them, upon being told that they had been sum moned to attend a general court, that he had orders not to admit them. At three o'clock the attendance became very numerous. Precisely at that hour the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and mem bers of the Court of Common Council, who are governors, arrived at the grand entrance, preceded by the City Marshals, in their state dresses. The bell was rung, and admittance was formally demanded for the Lord Mayor. Mr. Trollops then made his appearance, and read a paper, which stated that the Lord Mayor would be allowed free access at all times to the hospital, but that his Lordship must not be present at any meeting of Governors not summoned by the President. Mr. Firth, the deputy town-clerk, then read a formal de mand of admission, which not havicg been obeyed, the pro cession retired. In the carriage with the Lord Mayor were Sergeant Mereweather, the town-clerk; Mr. Hick, the sword bearer ; and Mr. Beddome, the train bearer. In the next carriage were the Lord Mayor Elect and Sir John Pirie, the president of St. Thomas's Hospital; in th e thi rd were Sir George Carroll and Alderman Vilson. These were followed by car riages in which were Aldermen Kelly, Sir Chapman Marshall, Moon, Sidney, Hunter, &c. Among the members of the Common Council (governors) were AI r. R. L. Jones, of Cripple gate Ward; Mr. George Bracher, of Coleman-street Ward; Mr. R. Taylor, of Farringdon-without Ward; Mr. Eagleton, of Farringdon-within Ward; Mr. Prior, of Dowgate Ward; Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Bedford, of Fartingdon-withottit Ward, &c. &c. The matter is to be immediately referred to a court ef law, and will in all probability lead to most important conse quences, in the opinion of many of the civic politici.ns. A STRANGE RACE. - A n A merican paper says that a correspondence is now going on between two gentlemen of Boston, which began ten years ago with a challenge. Mr. A., a bachelor, shall meed Mr. 8., a married man with one child, who replied that the conditions were not equal, that he must necessarily be at more risk with his life than the other, and he declined. A year afterwards he received another challenge from Mr A., who stated that he too had slow a wife and a child, and he supposed, therefore, the objection of Mr B no longer valid. Mr. B. re plied that he had now two children, tonsequently the inequality still subsisted. The next y e ar Mr. A. renewed his challenge, having now two children als6; but his soversary had ;three. This Matter, when last heard of, was still going on, the numbers being el: to seveb,itud the chalk/vie reedy renewed.

We have received the following additional particulars of this sad event, an account of which appeared in The Sun of yesterday. A few errors appeared in our former account. The accident took place at a spot about a mile and a half on the Leeds side of the Cudworth or Barnsley station, and not between Wath and Darfield, as previously stated. It was however, whilst between the two latter stations that the engine became impaired, and was unable to convey the train at the usual rate. In this part of the line the two o'clock lug gage train from Leeds passed the train at so slow a pace that the enginemen were able to speak to each other, and the person who had the charge of the luggage train was desired by the engineer of the other train to I end a pilot or assistant engine to assist the mail train on its journey to Leeds. This latter train continued its course, and passed the Cud worth station about 20 minutes before the arrival of the assistant engine, which was dispatched from Mashrough. The usual red caution or signal lights attached to the tail of the train were then visible from the station, and the watchman at the station pointed this circum stance out to the driver of the assistant engine. The latter then proceeded with his engine, and, after going a short distance, seeing that he was approaching the train, he partly turned off the steam, in order to slacken his pace ; but, as he himself subsequently stated, seeing a white light—the signal for the way being clear, or that he was to go on—exhibited by the guard of the mail train, he again put on the steam, and almost instantly ran with great violence into the train. It would thus appear, that it was owing to the accidental or negligent exhibition of a white instead of a red light by the guard the engineer of the as sistant engine was induced to hasten his speed at a spot so near in proximity to the crippled train that he could not prevent the collision. The three latter carriages of the train, which were all for Leeds, became detached from the rest of the train, which consisted of carriages going to York, Newcastle, &c. These three carriages were thrown off the line and greatly damaged. The last of them was a second-class carriage, and its buffers were struck with such immense force by the engine as to be driven into the first compartment of the next preceding carriago, which was a first-class one. In this compartment were Mr. W. Fuller Boteler, Bankruptcy Commissioner; Mr. Jonathan Andrews, of Leeds, sharebroker ; and Inspector Child and Sergeant Stubbs, of the Leeds detective police force. The injuries sustained by Mr. Boteler were much more seri ous than we were at first led to believe. Both this gentle man's legs were struck by one of the buffers, and were both broken below the knee, and his person was otherwise consi derably injured. Mr. Stubbs sustained a compound fracture of one of his legs ; Mr. Andrews and Mr. Child both r ceived some severe contusions and bruises, and are still unable to attend their usual avocations The passengers in the other two comp rtments of the carriage escaped with little or no injury What is somewhat remarkable, two gentlemen who were in the centre division of the second-class carriaze, which was first struck, also es !aped with a few slight bruises. Mr. Boteler was speedily con veyed to his own residence at Oulten. near Leeds, and In.in the latter town several medical gentlemen were quickly in attendance upon the unfortunate sufferer. After a cans tation amongst Mr. S Smith, Mr. T. P. 'reale. Mr. Key, and Mr. Charley, it was considered that amputation of one of Mr. Boteler's lees was necessary, and the operation was performed the same evening. At the time of this being written (Tuesday evening) the unfortunate sufferer was iti such a state as to preclude the slightest hope of his recovery; indeed, he was not expected to survive mere than a few hours. The learned gentleman, who is about seventy years of age, is highly respected by all wile know him. and espe cially by those who have had an opportunity o f witnessing his conduct in his judicial capaci , y. For the last few weeks he had been sojourning in Kent with his family, and was re turning home alone; but information of the sad event has been forwarded to them, and they were hourly expected at Oulton. Mr. Stubbs was taken to the Leeds General In firmary, and his fracture was reduced the same evening, and the latest report states that he is going on favourably. The Directors of the Midland Railway Company have commenced an inquiry into the cause of the accident, and they have done all in their power to assuage the sufferings of the per sons who were hurt. We may add, that one person who is still unwell, and staying at one of the inns at Leeds unable to pursue his usual calling, is Mr. Collins, who had been sent from London to the north by Sir John Rennie on rail way business. A commercial gentleman, named Lee, has also been somewhat severely injured, and is thereby detained in Leeds. The occurrence of this accident has excited strong feelings of grief in Leeds and the neighbourhood, and there is a general demand for a thorough investigation into the whole case. - i , 1 :: WINDSOR ELECTION SHEERESS, Ocr. 21.—This morning's post brought the promotion of Dr. John Grant Stewart, R.N., who so nobly volunteered his services on board the ill-fated Eclair, to the rank of Deputy-Inspector of Hospitals; and also the promo tion of Dr. William Rogers, Additional Assistant-Surgeon of the Ocean, now convalescent from fever contracted on board the Eclair, to the rank of Surgeon in the Navy. Dr. Coffey, late Assistant-Surgeon of the Growler, who volunteered at Madeira, has served the full time (three years) necessary to qualify him for promotion, but has not yet undergone the necessary examinations. On his successfully passing these he will also be promoted to the rank of Surgeon ; and R ell this young gentleman deserves his promotion. As has been said of his brother officer, Dr. Sidney Bernard, who joined the Eclair with him at Madeira, but who unfortunately fell a victim to the fatal epidemic the very morning his promotion arrived here, " his duties, in their ordinary execution, could only be performed at the risk of his own life; in the present case they were accompanied by exertions which aggravated the danger, but were never re laxed by apprehensions of the fatal events hourly occurring." The Kroomen are still busy turning over the several stores of the Eclair to the Griffon, under the superintendence of Com mander Harston. She will afterwards be thoroughly cleansed and fumigated. When that is completed all are to be ad mitted to pratique. The Formidable, 84, was paid off this day. The Dwarf steamer has been taken into the basin to under go some alterations. The Juno, 26, Captain Blake, was discharged from the basin yesterday, and is ordered to complete for sea with all dispatch. The Blenheim, 74, is to go to Blackwall to be fitted with the screw-propeller. From 20 to 30 labourers commenced digging the fi,unda tions for the new fortifications opposite the dockyard gate yesterday. ,Mr. Hall, ~ f Queenborough, has a!so the coi.tr. ct for these works.

DtsCoVERIES IN A ENTRALIA —New di,- coveries of copper have been made at about two miles beyond the I ight, and the probable extent of the minerals there will shortly superinduce the occupation of the valuable corn lands and pas.. turages comprised In the two special surveys intersected by the liver above.mentioned. A copper lode recently discovered on the estate of Mr. A Haien, beyond O'Halloran-hill, has been natl_ ciently examined, and is pronounced a most valuable property. Nor are these all the current discoveries. Messrs. Phi!cox and Campbell have purchased a section near Willunga, on which a cop per lode has been laid bare to tne extent of about eight fathoms, the quality of the ore being such as can be pronounced upon " at sight." We are almost tired of hearing about manganese; if all the reports are true (and we see no reason to doubt them), the de. posits of this useful mineral are obviously great, if not inexhaus tible.—Adelaide Observer, May 3. STR ELT ULEANLINES•.—The fullowing notification, issued at the beginning of the present month, by the Prcfet de Police of the French capital, will show what attention is pad to these matters by the French authorities. The ordonnance begins by stating, that the sweeping of the public thoroughfares has to takeplace from the Ist of October to the 31st of March, between seven and eight A.M., and at no other time. The footways are to be scraped, swept, and washed ; and the coLduits to be kept free from all impediment for the efflux of water, &c. After some other points of usual purport, the Paris authorities say:—" For the sake of reforming the habits so contrary to cleanliness and decency, the administration has authorised or caused the construction of urinals in several public thoroughfares, especially on the Place de la Concorde, the Boulevards, and many of the quays. —The Builder. LUNATIC ASYLUMS.—By the Lunacy Act, of last session, the several counties in England are to erect, or to join with neighbouring counties in erecting, asylums for lunatics, which asylums areto be visited by the magistracy several times in a year. In the event of non-compliance in an erection, Government will order the buildings to be commenced. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE IN GREENWICH PARK. —On Wednesday afternoon a lady and two children came down from London by the steam-boat, and proceeded to the Park for recrea tion. A short time afterwards one of the children ran towards the deer, and held an apple for one of them to eat. A buck made up to the child and snapped at the apple, when the sharp.pointed horn of the animal perforated the upper lip of the little innocent, and divided it from the nostril to she side of its mouth. Tht bleed ing and screams of the child drove the parent into a state of great anguish. Police.constable George Pritchard, 133 R, being on duty in the park, ran to the spot and rendered his best assistance; he carried the bleeding sufkrer, accompanied by the parent and the second child, to the surgery of Dr. Gay Shute, in Bexley place, Greenwich. Islr Shute, after stopping the bleeding, carefully sewed the lip together and the lady, with her twe children, then proceeded to town by the railway, greatly distressed at the unfor. turatte event. DUTY ON COALS BY RAILWAYS.—In the Coal Act of last session (8 and 9 Vic., c. 101) continuing the duty on coals from the 31st December next for a period of seven years, there is a new provision witn respect to coals conveyed by railways By the second clause it is declited that the duty now imposed shall be extended upon all coals, culm, and cinders, brought to any place within the port of London, or within tt e cities of Londe)]. and Westminster, and the borough of Southwatk,or to any place within the distance. of twenty miles from the Clentral Post-office, by ati railway already constructed or hereafter to tie constructed.

"My Lord Dukti —As an elector of Windsor, deeply in terested in the result of the fo-'l3.iming election, I take the liberty of addressing your ;:51.7,2 (as the Commander-in- Chief) for the purpose of complaining of the extraordinary, indeed, I may say, unconstitutional interference of several of the officers and non commissioned officers in the 2d Regi ment if Life Guards with the votes i.f tt.e electors.

" Amongst. those holding her Majesty's commission in the 2d Regiment of Life Guards who have thought proper to Lterfere wi:h the free and independent votes of the elec tors, and v. ho have privately as well as publicly attempted to induce several of the Burgesses to promise their votes to their commanding officer, are Lieutenant Bertie, Quarter master Allen, and Mr. F.

" I trust that, for the sake of strict military discipline being preserved, and in order that no further efforts may be made by tl'e officers of the regini , nt to coerce the voters hi the exercise of the elective franchise, your Grace will take such steps in the matter as may be considered expedient to put a stop to the unseemly military interference of which I, as an elector, have a right to complain. R e l y i ng upon your Grace's well-known courtesy to pardon this appeal to your sense of justice, I have the honour to be, my Lord Duke, your Grace's most obedient, very humble servant. " Windsor, Oct. 18, 1845." The revision of the Windsor lists of voters for the borough, and also for this division of the county, took place this after noon, in the Town-hall, before Charles S. Whitmore, Esq., the Revising Barrister. The whole business occupied less than half an hour. The ten claims, on the county list, were allowed. One new claim was made for the borough, which was not objected to. There were no objections on either list, except by overseers, in consequence of deaths and removals. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYMOUTH, Ocr.2l.—This morning, at 10 o'clock, her Ma , jesty's ship Canopus, 84, Captain Moresby, C. 8., (17th June, 1814), Commodore; the Albion, 92, Captain N. Lockyer; Rodney, 91, Captain Collier; and Superb, 80, Captain Corry, got under weigh in Plyniouth Sound, and proceeded outside the Breakwater, where they lay too for some time. These ships were subsequently joined by the brig Daring, 12, Com mander H. J. Matson, and the Rattler steamer, and about 1 o'clock, the whole fleet proceeded.. down - Channel with a spankirg breeze from the north, the wind having veered to that point, from north-west in the morning. They carry the red ensign, which signifies that they are under the especial orders of the Lords of the Admiralty. The only ship now left in Plymouth which belonged to the fine fleet composing the experimental squadron, is her Majesty's ship the Queen, 110, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker. She has discharged her gunpowder, and is now quietly moored in the Sound, bearing the flag of Sir John West, the gallant Port Admiral of this harbour. WOOLWICH, OCT. 21.—The Meteor steam-vessel, Lieute naut•Commander Huffier, left Woolwich this morning, at six o'clock, to have her compasses adjusted at Greenhithe, and will proceed to Ply Mouth and Cork, for service at the latter station. The Avon steam-vessel, Commander Denham, F.S.A., was taken out of the inner to the outer basin yesterday, and to-day into the river, preparatory to her proceeding to an African stat ion. All her spare gear has been taken on board, and eve -y requisite for her important ye% age. On the Bth inst. the workmen on hoard the Avon left the vessel at the u-ual dinner hour, and a quuntiir of ruin having just been iak..o on hoard, a private in the Royal Marines attached to her was lea in charge. On the return of the werkit-n, after being absent about an hour, no Royal Marine was to he feund, and the general impression was that he had taken Via, opportu hity to deserr. After waiting two days, a notice was lub descri ing his appearance, and offerieg a ieward if 1 1. for his appreheosion. Notwithstanding every exert ion was mad:, no trace could be otitaiiied of him until yesterday, when his body w as found floating it, the basin, but so se ollen ai:d di-figured by having been so long in the water, that it c old scarcely be recoghised by his corporal.

The hou-commissioned officers and men look remarkably well in their new dress, and go through their exercises with great precision after a few hours' practice, although it is several years since many of them handled a musket for duty. A great many of them are small sly pkeepers in and around \ oolwich, ai d a few days' exercise will not interfere to a great extent with their busi ness, which is managed by their better halves during their absence.
