The accidents on railroads have latterly become so frequent, and excited so much alarm, that the Direc tors of Companies, fur their own interest, as well as the interest of those whom they represent, ought to Behr some measures, without delay for calming the just apprehensions of the public. It would be bste r that this were done spontaneously than that new laws should be passed on the subject, or that the proprietors should be frig'uteued into the measure by the verdicts of juries. Unless some feasible steps are taken, this must be the ultimate result. It is true indi viduals have nut a fair chance with wealthy and powerful railway companies. Money, it is well Ito wn, can pervert justice in various ways — a ikeess. s reey he kept out ut the way, new trials way be moved tor and obtained, and the unfortunate sufferers, a'ter all their labour and anxiety, may only obtain a verdict sufficient to cover the expenses. This has been occasionally the case already, but such a system setts not be pursued with impunity. Jurymen have an interest in securing the safety of the public, of v hie!) th,y Corm a part ; it may be the fate of some of them to have their limbs bruk, n or be dashed to pieces, or buried alive under a heap of carriages ; it may be the fate too of their nearest relations to be subjected to the same awful calamities, and they have, therefore, the iino,t powerful of all motives—self preservation—to give heavy damages against any Com- piny that, from neglect or wilful mismanagement, en d ingere human life. Some thirty years ago fatal acci dents from coaches and mails were much more frequent than at a later period. And why? Because public opinion was roused. A drunken, reckless, and incapable coach man was to 1w met with at every other stage ; accidents were happening daily ; and when these accidents unfor tunately were fatal, no redress at all equal to the loss could be obtained by the verdict of a coroner's jury. Common juries, therefore, took up the question in the right rpirit, and when either negligence or drunkenness, or wiSal misconduct of any kind could be proved, they gave proportionate damages. What was the result ? The system was found too expensive for the proprietors of coaches, they saw that good niamesement alone could save them from ruin, and they soon found it necessary to appoint drivers 1 who had lan interest in the concern, and wit:), therefore, could not be guilty of care less driving without being punished in purse and etmetimes also in person for their folly. Let the same negligent system prevail on railroads for a few months linger, and the result %sill be the same. Ordinary daniai-es again-t powerful eanapanies will be of little value, and the Directors may, therefore, reckon to a certainty that verdicts which shall have the desired t '12 ; 1, 1 become as common as they were i n the worst 1 5 . 711.

It is better, therefore, to reform i e. - s c e<7 . itap d the more so as reform would in a very i ( `i -- 4, ttract passengers to an extent which would ray' as!f'tastsl s' e skirtath ' any additional expense. If the Govern i .. :1•• it t 1. e s, e . c ., : e ernes ~ e question up, and pass laws fur the better 0- se ~,,e4 110410 . t of railways, the Companies would be put c - - - e.- 4 4 1 ‘l.O great pease by minute and probably, at first, im ee ~„ p r.ieSle regulations. Let referee, therefore, com- INS ;nen .e ut home, and Ist the Directors render legislation a.n I punishment unnecessary, by adopting the most ikely ineasurea for the prevention of accidents. Might THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1845. they nut try. in the first pl , ee, a very simple anti chPap experiment, by appointing one, two, or three inspectors, if necessary—well-paid inspectors too, and well acquainted with machinery and railways, who should not only have the superintendence of the lines, but of the working servants of the Company, so that they could at once dismiss, or bring before a magistrate, every offender against their regulations. Five thousand pounds a year, even on the longest lines, would pay for inspectors fully adequate for the purpose-- a sum so small for such lines as the Birming ham and the Great Western, and indeed twenty others, that it hardly deserves to be taken into accAint. Were any one of two rival companies to make the ex periment, the public would not be slow in giving that company the preference, and amply repaying the Di rectors fur their judicious and humane improvements. We have accounts from Madrid to the 26th ult. The intelligence from the provincei is favoun.ble. No at tempts had been made in any quarter to imitate the ex ample of the capital, or rebel rgaintt the new system of taxation. Ihe Herald°, but lately a Government paper, renews its attacks on certain members of the Cabinet, but, from all accounts, for selfish and despotic purposes. The Dictator, NARVAEZ, is the favourite of this journal, and of course he is the exception alluded to in the fol lowing paragraph:—"The whole of the departments, with one sole exception, are replete with that inertiun, that apathy, and that inexplicable slowness, which cha racterise the present Administration." The Funds were firm. The Three per Cents. closed at 31 13-16 cash, 32 1-16 at 60 days-5,737,000 done ; the Five per Cents. at 221 at 60 days-1,660,000 done. It appears from one of the Paris papers that the Commission appointed to inquire into the state of the French navy, and more especially the steam navy, had brought their labours to a close, after agreeing to a re port touching all the main points submitted for investi gation. The report has not yet been published, but it cannot fail to be looked forward to with great interest if the statements given in the Con.stitutionnel are a faithful outline of its contents. According to these the French steam navy is absolutely useless as fighting vessels ; they are deficient, even the crack vessels, in f :me and speed, and incapal:le of contending against an enemy. The re port, according to this journal (and probably it is well informed, for the Prince de JOIN VILLE set-ms to have a leaning towards the TRIERS' party) admits all the conclusions to which that Prince had come in his pamphlet on the navy ; it admits that the French have no steam fleet, and that the work of c.rnstrueting war steamers must be commenced anew. The report, how ever, is not without grounds of consolation, for it ex tends to the British steam navy, and declares that equally inefficient. Though we way not be disposed to go the whole length with the Commission on this head, it cannot be denied that the report is entitled to serious attention, and that it contains truths for which the Admiralty ought to be thankful. Some of the facts to which it ad verts have been repeatedly adduced in this journal, and indeed they are so manifest that they could not fail to be palpable to the most careless observer. If the Lords of the Admiralty have advanced one step, th,y have been pushed forward by public opinion, and shamed out of their listless inactivity, by the activity, enterprise, and invention of companies, and even private individuals. The Conslitutionnel, therefore, says justly :—" Private builders have alone improved in England—they have built vessels capable of going at the rate of thirtei n or fourteen miles an hour. It is they who have applied the screw." The French, therefore, may take en,ursige front the fact, and begin quietly to form a new ses'em. In fact that appears to be one of the recommetidetii»is f the Commissioners ; " For," says the C'enstirurenrei, after pointing out the state of the navy, it only remains for us to paint out the measures which the Cenimission proposes for establishing in this part of the public service an entire system, and placing the steam navy on a more respectable footing." With the eye- p ait of the last paragraph, which we have embodied in the preceding remarks, we subjoin the stat.enents pub lished in the Coest;tationneh— The Commission formed by the Minister of the Marine to examine questions connected with steam navigation has re cently terminated its labours, and is consequently dissolved. The 'Prince de Joinville has presided at almost all the sittings, and has given the deepest attention to the subjects under con sideration, some details of which have trar.spired. The first point submitted to the examination of the committee was the present state of our steam force, and everything connected with the merits of the flotilla which we possess. There was only one opinion on the subject, our present materiel was unanimously condemned. The conclusions of the pamphlet o! the Prince were admitted without reserve and to their fullest extent. It is not a steam fleet which we possess, or scarcely anything resembling it. Our two largest specimens have tar from realised the opinion formed of them, and the frigates of 450- horse power are wanting both in force and speed. There is no one of them which can be considered as a fighting vessel capable of contending with advantage against an enemy. They are more useful for purposes of transport than those of war. The Gemer, the Asinodee, and the Infernal, the only ones of this class of vessels afloat, have none of the qualities on which confidence can be reposed. If steam power is to be used as an efficacious arm, models should be sought for in which the motive power should be wore in harmony with the purposes for which the vessel is required, and where the exigencies of speed should not be constantly opposed to those of armament. The opinion of the members of the Commission on the first class vessels enables us to anticipate pretty correctly what their ideas of the inferior class would be. The only steamer of 3'30 horse-power, the Curler, has been already judged of, and amongst those of 2.20-borse power. there could scarcely be an exception made in favour of the Pluton, the Arehimede, and the Veloce. It is the same with the mass of vessels of 160- horse power, %hid' only cut a figure in the navy list, and which vesse ls, it is known, have become on account of their small dimensions searitely available as transports. Thus through out the whole scale of our steam-vessels, from 540 down to 160-horse power, weakness, want of harmony between their force, and their speed have been fully and clearly pointed out by the Commission. With regard to the large transatlantic steamers, which a recent ordonnance has removed from their original destination, and devoted to another service, their whole construction has been misunderstood. The idea of the Go vernment, which presented the Bill to the Chambers, was more particularly to foi in a fleet capable of being used for purposes of war; their pacific destination being a secondary object. They were called packets, and were to be employed during peace in the transatlantic service, but it was in reality frigates which were to be constructed. This has not been sufficiently understood ; the Government which succeeded that a hich introduced the Bill has only built packets very costly, but of very mediocre qualifications. Considerable sums Lave been expended in their internal fittings up, and everything has been stu.iiously avoided which could make them serviceable for purposes of war. The result of this has been that we have eighteen vessels which it would be very dif ficult to turn to any useful purpose, and which will remesia as a sample of a bastard fleet. The Commission has not he.- sitated to condemn these packets, both with iegard to their con struction and their fittings up. Justice should nevertheless be done; these essays, these mistakes, are almost inevitah!e with regard to a new force like steam. In turning its attention to wards England, the greatest maritime country in the world, the Commission has had to point out the same laults, the same weakness, the same errors. The steam fleet of our neighbours is little more advanced than our own. There have been on the other side of the Channel as on this, several experiments at once onerous and unfortunate. several steam- frigates have been rebuilt as many as three times, and others have met with those mortifications at sea which are common to vessels of infe rior speed. Private builders have slime improved in Eng land; those of the Government have been left far behind. It is private builders who have built vessels capable of going at the rate of thirteen or fourteen miles . an hr.tir ; it is they who have applied the screw, and who are every day making fresh improvements." The P: cue gives some additional extracts from the Frtnch paper published at Otaheite, which show that there bad been another attempt at insurrection in the island, and that the disposition of the natives was not so favourable as represented in the Moniteur. Cos ernor Bullsr had issued a proclamation in their native lan- guage, addressed to the chiefs and all the inhabitants of the islands under the protection of the French. It re fers to Wails of old date, to the visit of the Qucen Of ENGLAND to the French Court, and the return made to the compliment by LOUIS PHILIPPE, and the great vic tories gained by Marshal BUOEAUD and the Prince DE JoINVILLE over the forces of the EMPEROR of Monocco. The following is a literal translation : " The Governor of all the French lands in the Pacific Sea, great orator of the King of the French near the King-wcman of all the islands of the Society, to all the chiefs and all the men of all the lands of the Society. Friends, health to you all. This is my, speech to all of you. Two great battles were gained by the arrows of the King Louis Philippe, the protector of you all, and of us the sovereign, the one on land and the (Hier below on the sea. In the battle on land were beaten forty thousand soldiers of the kingdom of Morocco by ten thousand French soldiers; the son of this great land of Morocco was the great chief of all these soldiers.

According to accounts in the Paris papers from Ber lin of the 20:h August, the Ambassador there Lad re reived information that the Empress of RUSSIA would arrive in about a fortnight, on her way to Italy, and take up her residence during her stay at Berlin in the hotel of the Ambassador.

The Learned Commissioner proceeded to hear further argu ments in this case. The preliminary points appeared in The Sun of Monday—the decision is very important to the com mercial world. The defendant was the drawer of a bill of exchange which had been dishonoured, and the present application was on a summons under the late Act of Bankruptcy, which declares that ar.y person being summoned for a debt and not paying the same, or denying on affidavit his liability, might be declared to have committed an act of bankruptcy. The affidavit of debt in this case did not set out that due not►ce of dishonour of the bill had been given, and that therefore no debt arose, and that defendant was not bound to answer. In reply. it was urged that the affidavit was sufficient in cases where parties were called upon to put in bail, and consequently to call upon him to answer whether he owed the debt or not. At the original hearing, the Learned Commissioner said that the case of bail was not different from this, as by this proceed ing the whole property might he taken under a fiat of bank ruptcy. The Judges had held, that where a question arose as to the liberty of the subject, the person setting the law in motion ought to substantiate his right. He considered that in such a case as this he was bound to require equal proof. He, therefore, adjourned the hearing till cases were produced. After hearing a very prolonged argument, The Learned COMMISSIONER declined enforcing the sum mons unless more distinct cases were breaght forward. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary Porrna.) BARRETT V. TILT. This was an action brought on a bill of exchange, of which the defendant was alleged to be the acceptor. Mr. RYL %ND, who appeared fur the plaintiff, said there were two material pleas on the record ; first, that defendant never accepted the bill; and, secondly. that it had been altered since acceptance. It would, however, be in fact admitted that the signature was that of the defendant; and the real que,tion to try was, whether there had been any alteration atter the time it was so signed. He would be able to show that it had be n originally dated the sth, but in consequence of the defendant having other bills coming due, he requested to have it altered • and it was so altered the next day, to the Rth of June; the alteration was so palpable that there could be no concealment or attempt at fraud, for the alteration was made not' oniy with the consent and knowledge, but actually at the suggestion of the defendant. Al:. CROUCH, for the defendant, contended that no b;11 could be altered atter once made, although all parties consented. Mr. RYLAND :aid not after it had been out ; but here the alteration was made before acceptance. Mr. CROUCH argued that the alteration of the date made the bid invalid, as the time had been extended; and it therefore quirest another stamp. '1 he SECONDARY said, to support the argument, it must be shown the bill had been out to some purpose; the mere carry ing it back from acceptor to drawer was not sufficient. Mr. CROUCH submitted that the alteration was in itself a fraud on the revenue; and he further contended, that the bill was invalid, as it bore the date of a Sunday. Mr. Harnett Joseph, who had discounted the bill for defend ant himself, spoke to the acceptance, and had no doubt of its being dated correctly. He would swear he had never altered it. It was not discounted on the 6th or 7th. From the evening of the 6th to the evening of the 7th was his Sabbath, and he would swear positively he never transacted business then. He discounted it on the Bth. The bill was dated the Bth. Mr. CROUCH then addressed the jury for the defendant, and contended that the witness was not deserving of credit, and that the bill on the face of it showed that the alteration bad been made subsequently to the original date; and that, in fact, the bill had not been presented in due time, and the date was al tered afterwards to give time. The Learned Counsel also de • Blared that the bill had been presented, and altered after pre sentation. The SECONDARY said that an alteration after presentment could not be a fraud on the revenue. Mr. RYLAND said the two lines of defence were irrecon cilable. Mr. Ceoucu said if the bill had, for a particular purpose, been altered after presentment, the fraud was the same as though it had been altered before, or greater, as it became an entire new instrument, renewing a liability which had gone by. The SECONDARY said before he could_be called on to give an opinion, the mode and time of alteration must be shown. Mr. Foster, the first indorser of the bill, was called, and swore he indorsed it on the 6th, and that it then bore date the sth of June. The SECONDARY summed up, and said the evidence was contradictory, and the question for the jury was, whether they believed the alteration had been made after the acceptance. The jury found for the plaintiff. Mr. CROUCH moved that the writ should be retained. The SECONDARY said the question of law had not arisen ; but even if it had, he was against the argument. The ques tion was one of fact for the jury, and he was bound by their verdict. There was a second action pending against the witness Joseph, but not tried. Y and COM MERCIAL NE S. CITY, QUARTER TO THREA. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, ye3terday, were 8,600 or 9,000 bales, at firm rates. Shares were extensively dealt in again. According to advices from the interior of Russia, very dif• fereot weather must have been experienced there to that we have had in this country, the drought having been excessive. Grain in consivience had risen at Odessa. In Belgium rice, and other faruaceous products, are to be admitted free of duty until the harrest. An instance of the injurious effect of excessive protection upon the prosperity of a country is afforded by a comparison made as to the cost of railway iron in France and Belgium, and from which it appears that there is a difference of 9% per cent. against France. This i 3 the effect of preventing foreign supplies being brought into fair competition with horns pro - ducts. The necessity of repressing speculation in every mere " bubble of the day" that courts the gaping multitude, be gins to be felt by those who, undoubtedly to some extent, have profited by the furor—viz., the brokers; and it is be lieved that formal discountenance will be given by the Com mittee of the Steck Exchange to all dealings in scrip not issued. Present profits, indeed, should not be the guiding star of the brokers and jobbers, for the loss of a single day, by the failure of clients, as we could illustrate by nume rous examples, would shear off the profits of many u toilsome year.

CLOSING OF THE TEMPLE CIIuiLCII•--A notice is affixml cutside the Temple Church to the effect that it will bla closed until the first Sunday in October• MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. Since Monday the arrivals of Wheat, co..stwise as well as by land carriage and sample, Lave been seasonably large, though not to say extensive, while they have principally consisted ol new parcels. Our advices from th' most impf,r taut grain districts being of a favourable character, and the Show of sanTiel being good, we. have to report a very inac tive demand for English Wheat, at bare7y, but at nothing quotable beneath, the depres• ion in valub noticed on last market day. The imports of Foreign Wheat c,,,ntinue on a moderate scale. To-day exceedingly little was doing, either in free or bonded sorts, yet prices ruled ab ut stationary. Very little Barley, either English or Foreign, was offering. About 100 quarters of new sold at from 28s to 30s per quarter. The Malt trade was again very steady, and last week's quotations were well supported. Oats, owing to the abundance of foreign, sold heavily, at somewhat drooping figures. Beans were more plentiful than of late, and the turn lower. Nearly the whole of the Peas offering were of the present year's growth. Their quality was very good. White boilers sold at 38s to 40s ; Maples, 37s to 39s ; and Hog, 36s to 38s per quarter. The Flour trade was very dull, and ships' marks were is per 2801bs lower. ARRIVALS. Wheat.

STATE or TRADF.—The woollen trade of Glon cestershire has not been so flourishing for a number of years as it has been of late, and is at the present time; and the abundant promise of fruits of the earth will tend to continue this happy state of revived prosperity. A Forest of Dean Correspondent informs us that" the coal trade is very brisk in the forest, not an able-bodied man being out of work, and the prospect of next winter is that coal will not be had for money, to furnish a supply for the demand."— Gloucester Journal. A WOMAN ROASTED ALIVE BY A QUACK DOCTOR. —The following horrible event is said to have occurred very recently in the parish of Kinault, Flanders :—is, short time ago, a woman suffering from a rheumatic disorder consulted an itinerant quack doctor, who found means to put an end to her sufferings with all the forms which the most atrocious barbarity could have imagined. The following is, we be lieve, an exact report of his verbal prescription. " The part affected must be covered with a mixture compounded of brandy and gunpowder in a state of ignition ; two persons must hold the woman till the perfect combustion and ex tinction of the mixture, and are to pay no attention to the cries uttered by her, for if a radical cure is to be effected, it is necessary that the action of the fire should take place on the whole surface in a state of disease. Fear nothing ! All will go well 1 Adieu 1" This ordonnance, made with that affect's. tion of gesture arid language familiar to this class ol mounte banks, was executed to the letter, and even with a slight addition, for in order to compel their victim to be silent, the barbarous assistants brutally di.figured the face of the un happy woman in different places during the execution of the prescription. After this operation, which only lasted one hour, there remained but an min:mate corpse. The skin of th e thighs and abdomen were completely peeled off, and the flesh charred and blackened. The body was hastily buried, and en deavours made to stifle any reports of this act of inhuman cruelty getting into circulation ; but the Proeureur do R o i having been informed of the affair, sent a surgeon, who, after the ex humation an 3 inspection of the body, declared the woman had been roasted to death.— Gazette Medicate Beige. THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER.—On Monday many of our friends of the barrel were up and doing in various parts of this county, and we understand they found an average quail. tity of birds, with the sporting qualities of wild and strong on the wing. Of course the shooting was not general, as many are too busy in the harvest ; the birds find too ready a refuge in the fields o f standing corn, an d we must caution the har vestmen within rea ch . of cesrlisey bareals, t o m i n d th a t th e y are not made game ot. In Kent we learn there was a pretty general agreement to suspend the sport for fifteen days to allow of thelareest being more generally ingathered. —Essex Herald. POWER-LOOM WEAVERS' STRlKE.—Friday, a large body of ,the female weavers connected with the power-loom factory of Messrs. Martin and Cochran, in Bishop.street, An derston, struck work for an ad'ance of wages, or, as they say, to endeavour to induce their employers to pay according to the same ratio as other manufacturers of similar fabrics in and around Glasgow. The strike occasioned considerable excite ment in the locality where it occurred ; and during the day Captain M‘Kay and a party of the Anderston police patrolled near to the work to prevent any breach of the peace. For. tunately, however , the conduct of the females who bad left the work along with their teeters, was sn peaceable and orderly, that the services of the police were altogether qeneecasary, In the afternoon a numerous o,ssernb!age of the weavers took place on the banks of the Clyde, near to Govan, arid the pro. ceediugs, in the form of a public meeting, were conducted with great decorum.— Glasgow Argos.

A special meeting of the Marylebone Hoard of Guardians w , ,s neld yesterday to take into consideration what course it would be most advisable to adopt to resist the mandate of the Poor-law Commissioners for forming 111arylebone into a union with the other parishes, under the title of the North-Western &lector°. litan District. Air. George Daniel, churchwarden, was unanimously called to the chair ; and not only was there a full attendance or the Board, but numbers of the rate-payers were present, who seemed to take a very lively interest in the proceedings. A very strong determination was expressed by ail the speakers to resist the proposed union, and the following resolutioi.s were unanimously adopted : •' That this Board do in the strongest terms protest against the parish of Marylebone being combined a ith other parishes in the formation of an asylum district, as submissive of the unity and independence of the parish, destructive of the rights and privileges of the rate •payers, and foreign to the general spirit of the local Act, by which the self-government of the parish has been hitherto pre'erved. •' That a communication be made to the vestry-cler k to call a special meeting of the vestry, to co-operate with the directors and guardians in preserving the independence of the parish." Mr. Busnenn said it was his intention to have moved a re solution, calling on other parishes to co-operate with there in resisting this order ; but, on second consideration, he thought it would be impolitic, as the other parishes would be tart to get Marylebone into union with them for the sake of their funds. _ _ _ Mr. Almon said he had intended testing the opinion of the Board by calling on the churchwardens, directors, and guar dians, for each of them to attach his signature to a document, declaring they would not form any part of the Committee of Management for the proposed Asylum; but he thought the unanimous feeling of that Board showed there was no mistake in the matter. He would 'put the question verbally, com mencing with the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN was delighted in having the opportunity of answering the question. He begged emphatically to say that he would refuse in any way, either directly or indirectly, to act under the authority of the Poor-law Commissioners, and no power they possessed should compel him to do so. The directors and guardians, severally in succession, gave expression to similar sentimetits : and a requisition to the vestry clerk having been drawn up and signed, calling on him to con vene a special meeting on the subject forthwith, the Board hav ing sat several hours, separated. At a meeting of the Board of Directors and Guardians of St. Pancras parish, held yesterday, to receive the order from the Poor-law Commissioners for comprising that parish in the " Central Metropolitan Asylum District," less determined opposition to the order was manifested, though the measure was strongly objected to. The following resolution was adopted:— That, considering the extent of the parish, the amount of its rental, and the consequent sum of money it will have to con tribute to the Central Metropolitan Asylum District, as corn; pared with those of the other parishes in union comprised in the district, this Board is of opinion that the parish is justly entitled to be represented by five instead of three guardians, as provided by the order of the Poor-law Commissioners, dated August 21, 1845." Mr. CROUCH observed, that if he thought it possible suc cessfully to resist the measure, he would be the first to afford his assistance for that purpose ; but as there was no means of effecting that object, the only course they had was to obey a bad law. He thought that a great many more paupers would be induced to come to London, and believed that the act would tend to offer a premium to the idle in the country. Mr. DOUGLAS stated that he believed this measure was but the first step to do away with boards of guardians altogether. The Secretary was directed to forward a eopy of the resolu tion to the Poor-Law Commissioners. A VALUABLE RELIC—PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD'S PLAlD.—Between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning the house of Mrs. APlSfish, on the Paisley-road, was entered by thieves, and a number of articles of wearing apparel, &c., were taken away, including, it is said, the identical plaid which Prince Charles Edward wore when he passed through Glas gow 100 years age. A person named David Stuppart, since apprehended with part of the stolen property in his possession, amongst whish was the plaid of the Ftoyal Stuart tartan, was on Friday brought up at the Gsrbals Police -court, and remitted to the Sheriff for trial. The royal relic, which has been handei down as an " heir-loom" from family to family, is highly prized, and, we understand, its present owners would not part with it for money.— Glasgow Argus. ORNITHOLOGY.—THE GULL.-1 ne gull is well known for its voracity, but we think the following proof of its gormandising power, and great calibre of gullet, is not un worthy of being noticed; it occurred in Easdale, and may be relied on ;--Two of these birds were a few days ago seen in fierce combst, when, by a desperate effort, one of them got hold of its antagonist by the head, actually swallowing it so tar that it could not extricate itself. When in this plight they were rushed upon, taken, and actually pulled a/wider. Glasgow National. A letter fioin Copenhagen, of the 23d ult., says:— We have received intelligence from Reikeavik, the capital of Iceland, which states that the session of the first Altbing (States- General) ever held in that island was opened on July 1. by Count de Bardenfieth, Grand Bailly, the King's Commissioner. The members afterwards gave a grand dinner to the Count, and in the evening the town was illuminated." A GLUTTON C S END.—A man named Boland, from ltown, near Kilmacow, died on Tuesday, in Waterford, from the effects of eating too much. It appears that before he left his own house he consumed about three pounds of meat, to. gether with a large quantity of butter-milk, after which, on his arrival in town, he ate four pounds more 1 porter, beer, spirits, ale, cordial, tee. He was upwards of 60 years of age.— Waterford Chronicle. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE .RIVER.—On Tuesday morning an accident occurred on the river, off Battle-bridge- Bermondsey-wall, by which a fine youth named Jackson, Aged seventeen years, lost his lie. It appears that he was employed in the tier of shipping lying off the above stairs, when, in endeavouring to step from one barge to another, he missed his footing and fell into the water. We sunk almost immediately, and was carried away by the tide. " TRUTH WITHOUT MYSTERT."—A young buck of the soap lock order, who wore an unshaven face, because, as tie said, it looked " foreign," lately accostei a Yankee at one of our hotels, as follows I say ; fello w , some i n di v id ua l s t hi n k I am a Frenchman, and some take me for an Etat) ene—novr, what do you think I am ?"—" Why, I think you're a fool," replied Jonathan. NOVEL FOOT RACF.—On Tuesday a running match, which from its novelty, attracted a good many persons, came off on Waterloo-bridge. The contending parties were Baker and Martin, the former to cover 100 yards forward, and the latter to run 75 yard% backwards. Tie stakes were 21. The distance being measured, Martin took his position 5.5 yards in advance of his opponent. When the signal was given Martin made for the goal with extraordinary dexterity, while his op ponent strained every nerve to overtake him, but without suc cess, and Martin ran in the winner by several yards. SIACIDE OF A LADY AT BIiAINTREE-HEATH.-011 Friday morning last, about eleven o'clock, the family of Mr. James Trott was thrown into the greatest excitement, in con sequence of discovering the body of Miss Sarah Trott., aged fifty years, hanging by a silk handkerchief, in a stable upon Air. Trott's premises. The deceased was a respectable in habitant of the wen of Romford, connected with ker two sisters in a scholastic establishment, which they have conducted for many years. Deceased had been very unwell for a length of time, and about a week back left her home upon a visit to her brother at Braintree-heath, for the benefit of 'her health. An inquest was held upon the body on Saturday afternoon, before C. C. Lewis, EN., and a respectable jury, at the Travellers' Inn, Braintree-heath, to inquire into the cause of her death. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased de stroyed herself, being at the time labouring under insanity.— Ipswich Express. Shooting on the Lammer Moors has been, on the whole, good this season. Many of the birds are, however, in a very diseased state, in fact, perfectly unfit to be used as food. The cause is generally considered to be tapeworm ; but, judging from the ulcerated appearance of the throat and lungs, it is more likely to be a species of pulmonary consumption. — Ber wick Warder. HAMPTON COURT PALACE.—An inquest was held on the 2rl instant before Mr. F. J. Manning, the coroner of the Queen's Household and of the verge, on the body of an elderly maiden lady, named Caroline Georgiana Fitagerald, who died suddenly in her apartments in the palace on the 29th ultimo.

FATAL AcCipmsT.--Last evening Mr. Payne held an inquest at the Newcastle Coffee-house, St. Mary-at-Hill, Upper Thames -street, on the body of Louisa Frisby, aged 2t3. From the evidence of the witnesses, it appeared that on Sun day night last, at about nine o clock, the deceased was standing on one of the lighters upon which steam-boat passengers reach the shore at Fresh-wharf, London• bridge, when the Ruby, Gravesend steam- boat, arrived, excessively crowded. Decessed appeared to endeavour to reach the shore to avoid the crowd coming from the steamer, when she fell over the side into the water. It was supposed she thought she was standing in the middle of the lighter, and that she might walk with safety. Efforts were made to save her, but unsuccessfully, and her body was not found until the following day. Some of the wit nesses, passengers by the Ruby, stated, in answer to questions from the jury, that the boat was frightfully crowded, there being from 1,600 to 1,700 persons on board. They had a dreadful passage to London, and at Grehnhithe more wanted to get on board, but the passengers pulled away the boards by which they tried to embark, and prevented them. One of the men employed at the wharf, and the superintendent and others, stated that in order to protect the public, the lighter 4 were surrounded by a rope; but this two of the passengers plsi tively denied. The superintendent said there were no more than 662 passengers on the Ruby. After a great deal of con tradictor) evidence relative to the precautions taken to guard against accidents, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

It also stated that the works were generally in good condition, but that as yet there was con- siderable deficiency in pipes and other conveniences to meet the growing demands made on the services of the Company for the supplies of water, I R oNer to meet this, without trenching oft Tp• profits applicable to the payment of the dividenes, th e rectors recommended that 4,0001. be raised as additional capital in the shape of a loan, at four per cent. interest.

Tit the sc4ne (I.* a fCstivai, at which I:, r orti no Prince and all the royal perionagcs v, he ate ru , h'iE3 _ assia:ed. There is, it seems in Gotha, an ftfo,.ej;:t.io7. eidl.. " 1 Rifle Society, established, as the mine. , tear lh"' purpose of rifle practice. They have, at a of: about a mile from Gotha, a place specially (levee d t tile! use of their society, where there ate ell eorie of target' for the rifle-shooting, and more particulArly o ne ursri‘ towering high above the rest, and which gives its riaro to the festival of yesterday. It is the imeee of a large bird—some , may call it an eagle, others will insist on its being a go..se—but the point is a knotty oz.e to decider se= ing that its head has been long since shot areay• and its body and wings are riddled arid bettered with rifle shot. Once a year a while %et k is (wade really) devoted to the rifle-shooting, and especially to the demolition of this devoted bird. The reigning Duke, or the Prince of the house of Saxe Coburg who maY happen to be in Gotha at the time. op( ne the festival or sport by aiming the first shot at the bird. There ere. three crowns on its head, all of which it is the espec ial privileee of the Duke to shoot away, and then the general sport begins. The reader will at once pereeivi: the resemblance of this game to some of our own via English rural sports at home. We should, pre baldle call it shooting at the popinjay. Here it is called the " VogehSchiessen." Attached to the shooting ground is a very handsom e ball and concert room, and all around the grounds during the week the festival lasts the owners of itineran t booths are accustomed to cluster, with the never failing instinct of those mysterious migratories. This year the festival fell during the Queen's visit. It began the other day, and in the cointnee order of things would soon wear itself out. Three of the six balls have already been held, and, if We may judge from the deserted state of the shooting', ground, the sportsmen are already pretty well tired (A that part of the amusement. But yesterday a new pea" ture was added for the amusement of the Queen —he less than a grand procession of some thousand or twelve hundred peasants and villagers, male and female, all is their national costumes. This Her Majesty signifieJ her wish to attend. Accordingly, at a little before three o'clock the whole royal party, the Queen, Prince Albert, Lord Aberdeen' Lord Liverpool, Mr. Anson, Lady Canning, LAY Gainsborough, the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg, and the princes 0 ' that house, with a long trait: of distinguished pereer in their several suites, left Gotha for the scene of Red& her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the King a nd Qmee of the Belgians left Friedrichsthal, the palace %here th e , Qu....en is staying. The other members of the rose" party came from their diffrrent residences in other peril of the .town. The streets through which the Queel l passed were densely crowded by'a gay and most plc' turesque-looking population. It was a general holiday' there was nothing but mirth music, and dalicieg throughout the city of Gotha. Arrived at the ground, the royal party t 0 1. ; their stations in a spacious gallery overlooking the % %bolo scene, and a singular scene it was to be witnessed those, to most of whom it must have been so "leo' Imagine all the din of a fair—shown - en puttieg their ev hibitions with lungs of brass, and brazen trumpets blow ing notes of iron, cymbals, gongs, automaten short, all the uproar, the mingled sounds of time-1 1 °' noured- St. Bartlemy crowded into half the space onc e allotted to that now neglected festival. Add to thee:: elements of gleeful discord dense crowds of people as' ranks, some in the oddest possible costumes, smo king , beer-drinking, laughing, shouting, and you have sow' ) idea of the scene that assailed the Queen's eyes she mounted her high post of observation, .if indeed was to be seen at all through the clouds of dust. 1 With the arrival of the royal party come the not e part of the festival—the procession of peasants. A " e. scription of one section of the endless line of horsele e; and vehicles that wound itself past the royal party f‘ l , serve for all. The procession was headed by a Is l.- P body of peasants, farmers, and small proprietors on hol' back, dressed in their close-fitting coats of green, black' or blue, the little bizarre German cap, with its long trout, stuck on their heads. These ambled or paced along te' ll ° abreast. most of them puffing the eternal pipe, tie NO, astounding gravity they defiled before the royal part"; saluting them as they passed. After these came t h e lumbering waggon peculiar to the country, consistie; generally of e few boards nailed together rudely int o 6 a form resembling a boat. These were sometimes decora t 0 with garlands, and were filled with the peasant Wome in their national costume, and especially the towe' l , ing head-dress with its hearselike plumes. So 01 villages, so many of these waggons, or nearly so ; painful to add, so mare - village bands al so , w h o p o lite'd persisted in playing " - God save the Queen " with S t e; cordant unanimity which even royal ears could notl.r. , ture into flattery. These horsemen, bands, and c e e gons, multiplied endlessly, formed the long and 4 r t as rently interminable procession which passed before royal party, and what with the din of the fair. roaring of the emulous bands, and the -clouds of ch 1 , 51 long before the last heavy vehicle had passed the roY party, the whole had become eufficiently weariso o a One thing alone made it endur a bl e — t h e extrem e, 51 0 i t, at the same time the very peculiar beauty, of the gre majority of the peasant women. This part of the festival over, the royal party , re turned to Reinhardtsbrunn to dinner, and in theeveel there was a grand reception or levee at Freedens te n t Palace, at which a great many of the chief people Gotha attended. •te" The following were present :—The Queen of 0 1 `„t, Britain, the King of the Belgians, the or Alexandrine, Reigning Duchess of Saxe Cosier.'

Meanwhile the scene of the festival had become F oo t 1 what changed. The people had thei r enj e y m ents t'' o happiness also. Outside, on the grounds, there pa s g , complete fair.

The interior of the dancing salo o n e xhibit e d w hat 3 1 0 would in vain look f u r in England. The adatiss` ° l i price was 6d. only, a sum which in England would ing o l the presence of people very little above, the lowest, l' e amusemerts of not the most refined kind.

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) Barna Burns, the New Zealand Chief, better known as Pahe-a-Range, was charged with: being drunk and incapable, in Trafalgar-square, at a late hour the previous night. H e was not charged with any aggravatory offence, and was there fore discharged. MARLBOROUG H-STREET. (THIS DAY.) James Wilkins, a lad between 17 and 18 years of a_e 4 was charged with stealing a cake, of the value of I s . the property of Mrs. Rebecca Wittleston, of No. 15, Warren street, Tottenham-court-road. The prosecutrix stated that between eight and nine o'clock last evening the prisoner rushed into her shop, and snatching up the cake from off the counter ran into the street, and was making off as fast as his legs could carry him, but the cry of " Stop thief" being raised, he was pursued by a police-constable and secured. Mr. NIALTISY asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything The lad said want of food had driven him to do it. lie had been unable to work lately, and for the last eight days had been starving about the streets, without shelter or a resting place. During the last two days he had not tasted food of any kind. When he took the cake he cLiuld not resist his hunger any longer. The constable said he made a simi!ar statement when taken into custody. He was remanded until Monday week, in order tlnit inquiries might be made ab mt. him. Mary Joyce, an aged female, of a very miserable ap pearance, was charged with wilfully breaking eight squares of plate glass, of the value of fifteen guineas, in the shop of Mr. Dobree, of No. 12, Gilbert-st-eet, Ox ford-Street, silversmith and pawnbroker, between seven and eight o'clock last evening. The prisoner at the time seemed . to be in a very ex ci•ed ,tate, but not from liquor, and she effected the de molition of the 1 anes with a large stone she p!cked up out of the street. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she had broken the windows in order to get sent to prison, as she had been starving about the streets and could bear it no longer. She had applied to the parish, but they would do r °thing for her. If she was not sent to prison, or something dune for her, I,he had made up her mind to destroy her life. She therefore entreated she might not be discharged. Mr. MALTBY asked to which parish she belonged ? —Tt:e prisoner said to St. George's, Hanover- square. She was ordered to be taken to the workhouse. CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.) Two prisoners were brought before the magistrate this morning for creating disturbances in beer-shops. It appeared that in each case the police had been called in to remove turbulent parties. Mr. COMBE said it, might be as well to inform the police that they were not justified in taking parties into custody upon the mere ipse dint of a publican or beer shopkeeper. It would seem from cases which had been brought before him that the police considered them selves at the beck of these persons. Now such was not the case, and the police should consider that they ow«I a duty to the public as well as to those persons. They aced contrary to law in taking persons into custody in these uses unless they witnessed the assault, or some marks of violence on the person complaining. The police were in fact made ancillary to putting money into the publican's pocket, and whilst they were so engaged were neglecting their real duties. Inspector Burton promised to attend to his Worship s observations. TUNNEL OF THE STRATHEARN RAILROAD, NEAR PERIM—This to nel is about three-fourths of a mile in length, running from near the Tay to the river earn. Its greatest depth is ISt) feet. About a week ago when 1 went to examine the different shafts they were sinking, I found the workmen excavating a stone resembling trap, of a grey colour, which they . told me was a bastard freestone; but, on tearing it with muriatie acid, I found it to be a strong limestone. It was about 5() feet below the surface, and about the centre and highest part of the hill. On examining the external appearance of these hil'ocks, I found they exhibited all the undulating 'k n d rounded forms seen in such formations ; and I have no doubt, from similar appearances, that limestone may be found, for river and edtilsr the distance Nang of i\i ongth o e ne sroiuef.—pn e thban u ko de f the Tay, , b r e . between the a lVfeorrt,ijic crops,.ieethit the fine harvest weather w hich appears to hav e se t in all over the country has removed all the fears fe which were so prevalent a few days ago, and that there is now every reason to hope that the harvest will be a fair average one.— Giassiow Arsine.
