ETON V. Haunow.—The students at these two public schools met in battle array yesterday, at Lord's, and com menced their match in the presence of a large list of fashion ables ; indeed, at one period of the afternoon the carriages extended two and three deep, from the pavilion nearly to the gate, independent of the numerous attendance of ladies and noblemen and gentlemen, who were on horseback and in phaetons. The scene was altogether extremely gay and bril liant. The match is not yet ended. SUSSEX V. KENT.-The return match of cricket between these two celebrated counties was commenced o❑ Thursday, at Tunbridge Wells, in the presence of a large number of spectators. The batting of Messrs.

Picknell 5 Byes 9, wide 6 This race yesterday was superior to any that have pre ceded it for years past; it was from first to last a most gal lant and determined struggle, with a result which leaves it questionable whether the best man won. The distance was, as usual, from the Swan at London-bridge to the Swan at Chelsea, against tide, and the following were the competi tors :—Joseph Cobb, Greenwich; Edward Gellett, Green wich; George White, Custom-house; Robert W. Thorn dyke, Surrey Canal; Matthew Weed, Bankside; William It Pratt, Waterloo-bridge. The men appeared at their sta tions in wager wherries, a very humane improvement upon the old-fashioned principle, at about half- ebb. Pratt had the inside station, and the others thus—Weed, Gellett, Cobb, Thorndyke, and then White outside. After two false starts the men went away beautifully together, and after a few strokes Gellett took the lead, followed by Cobb, the others forming a level group, and ploughing hard through the " nobby" water caused by the steamers for the third place. The two leading men kept hugging the shore in the position we have described them, Cobb evidently reserving himself for a great effort, until they commenced shooting the water as they neared Westminster-bridge, where, a fair opportunity presenting itself by spurting for taking the lead, both men went to work in the most gallant style to see who should reach the opposite shore in advance, Gellett had passed through one of the arches in the heavy tide-way, but his opponent courted the eddy, and dragged his boat as they neared the point in advance of his opponent. Gellett was not so soon shook off, but rowed up to his sculls repeatedly, trying to pass him on either side, but Cobb's manoeuvring stopped him.;;Whilst this was going on with the leading pair, a not less desperate conflict was taking place for third, fourth, and fifth, amongst White, Thorndyke, and Pratt. They were beautifully matched throughout, and it was a matter of considerable speculation who would get the third price. At Blackfriars bridge White and Thorndyke fouled. White in the shoal near Westminster went into the second place, but both the latter had considerable difficulty in shaking off Pratt, who was said to be so water-logged that, despite his exertions, it would have been useless to have continued the race. Cobb rowed right up the reach with Gellett upon his quarter, and won by his oars' length only, and in two minutes afterwards the third and fourth men appeared in a precisely similar posit ion. RAIL WAY COMMITTEE. (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. The Eastern Counties (Cambridge and Huntingdon) Railway Bill passed through Committee. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP X. SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE LINE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday. ) Mr. Rendel, C.E., examined by Mr. HOPE—Has, in company with Mr. Fowler, gone over the country between the termini of this line, and considers it the best that could have been selected. The junction with the Grimsby line is most favourably effected, and forms a most important ingredient in the accommodation afforded the districts, more especially to Gainsborough, and collaterally to Hull, by forming an indirect communication with, Sunderland, and thus enabling the coal to be brought down speedily and econo mically to the districts intersected by this line, while it offers lateral accommodation wholly excluded by the Bawtry branch of the London and York. Mr. Fowler, a land valuer of thirty years' experience in Shef field, deposed to having surveyed the line of this railway, for the purpose of computing the cost of the land, &c., on all the line ex cept between Lincoln and Gainsborough, and gave in the following estimate : Purchase of land £2,622 10 0 Damage to property ... .... Land scheduled not required 533 5 0 Buildings not required ... Contingencies Besides other items. Mr. Jefitock, a land valuer, who had been engaged to make an estimate of the cost as between Lincoln and Gainsborough, stated that the sum he named for that construction was 82,2881. 7s. 2d., making, in all, a gross cost of 100,7781. Os. Id. This having closed the case of the promoters of the line, Mr. TALBOT, Q.C., then addressed the Committee on behalf of certain parties who considered themselves aggrieved by the course of the projected Sheffield and Lincolnshire line. As representative of Mr. Hutchinson, in the first place, he complained of the rail way passing within 240 yards of that gentleman's house, and so encircling it, that from whatever window the family looked out, the embankment, and nothing but the embankment, of the line is visible. Some witnesses had insinuated that Mr. Hutchinson's posi tion was analogous to that of a retired tradesman, inasmuch as he chose to domicile in a cottage. From the poets, and other equally infallible evidence, it was known that in " cottages was substan tial happiness to be found." Whether Mr. Hutchinson had been fortunate enough to find that substantial happiness, he did not know; but sure he was he enjoyed both comfort and luxury there. And it was generally believed that the principles of the British Con stitution, so much vaunted for their indiscriminating justice, were essentially those of equal protection to the man whosebirth was cha racterised by the discovery of a silver spoon within his mouth, .and the less fortunate, though not less honoured man, who had earned equal wealth by greater toil Such protection was now sought at the hands of the Committee, and he telt assured that the suppliants would not appeal in vain. With respect to Mr. Foljambe, even a greater grievance was incurred. The line would intersect his pro perty for a distance of no less than four miles, and de stroy portions of different estates, whose beauty and value could not be exaggerated. But, forsooth, it was said that Mr. Foljambe's opposition was on account of his pursuit as a fox hunter being threatened with diminution by the construction of this line ; and Mr. Vernon and Lord Lincoln had not thought it unbe coming their high position to impute such interested motives to their neighbour. Were it not for the respect he felt for the pri vileges of those gentleman he should, and with much more justice, suggest that Mr. Vernon's consideration for the shares he held in the Sheffield line, and Lord Lincoln's interest in having his father's tim ber conveyed to market upon the rail, induced them to give the evi dence they did. But the fact was that physical infirmity had long since prevented Mr. Foljambe from enjoying his favourite sport, and it was purely from the dread of residential injury that he peti tioned against the line And as to the necessity for thus encroach ing on the rights of property, what were the districts the promoters wished to accommodate ? The town of Work sop was the only one to be touched in intersection, a town comprising but 6,000 inhabitants, and without traffic enough or through communication to support its publicans. Such being the unimportance and even inutility of the line, he called upon the Committee to regard the just complaints of parties who felt themselves aggrieved, and reject a scheme unprofitable alike to the country and the promoters. The Committee then, at half-past three, adjourned till twelve to-morrow. MARKET IN TELLI GIN CE. COAX. 211ARILET.

For Pouchong the demand has been good, and prices rule firm. Twankay is not much in demand, and prices are a shade lower. The market is dull for Hyson, at,d it is difficult to get former rates.

FRUIT.—The reports of the forthcoming crops of new up to this period continuing to be very favourable, in quantity, quality, and early shipment, appears to have induced several of the importers to lighten their stock : of Currants there are sellers at 45s to 46s for Zante and Cephalonia, and 46s to 49s for Patras. Valencia Raisins are a heavy sale at 41s to 42s ; of Red Smyrna and Chesme a further decline has been submitted to.

THE WESTMINSTER SCULLS. The race for the Silver Challenge Sculls, presented to the Westminster scholars, came off on Thursday, and had the public been acquainted with the fact, we have no doubt, from the celebrity of these students as rowers, it would have been most numerously attended. The race was from Vauxhall to Putney — Mr. Goodenough Mr. Green Messrs. Milman, West, and Rich also started. It was a most splendid race throughout. They all went away to gether, and Green then took the lead, and held it up to near Battersea-bridge, when the winner came up, and each tried his utmost ; the result of which was, that Goodenough ob tained the lead and held it. Milman and Green had a des perate and long-continued contest for second place, in which it was difficult to say who exhibited the most game. TIIE BITER BIT.—On Monday morning last, a well-dressed man went into a jeweller's shop in the west end of the town, when the place had just been opened by the boy, and pur. chased a trifling article, for payment of which he tendered at the time a one-pound note. As the boy had no change at the time, he (the boy) went into the next shop for it, dtsring which time the pur chaser had managed to secrete a box containing jewellery, which being observed by the boy, the latter immediately challenged him for it, when the "swell" took to his legs, and effected his escape. On examining the premises, the master of the shop found that a small box containing brass penny rings was missing, for which the pound left in the buy's hand was ample payment. No doubt the thief was congratulating himself on the richness of his prize, the brass rings being mistaken by him for the genuine gold.—Glasgow Argus. FOREIGN POTATOES.—A cargo of potatoes from the Azores or Western Islands, consigned to Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, of Monument yard, was yesterday publicly exhibited. This is the first importation which has taken place under the new tariff, the duty being reduced to 2d. per cwt. The samples showed that the potatoes f;om this source are much more mealy than the English potatoe, and if approved of, they can be introduced into the'market about a month earlier. James Mills was convicted on Mond.v last at the Londonderry assizes of robbing his uncle, William Mills, of 45 sovereigns. The prosecutor is a hale man of 100 years old, and is at present living in connubial bliss with his eighth wife. . ISSUE DEPARTMENT.

HOME ClRCUl7.—Croydon, August 1, The commission for the county of Surrey was opened yesterday by Lord Chief Justice Tindal, and both Courts this Corning proc , eded to business, the Chief Justice presiding on the Civil side, and Mr. Justice Co!eridge in the Crown Court. Th e ca l en d ar of prisoners is ye; y light, but on the civil side 106 causes are entered, twelve of which are sp cial jury eases, and it is not expected that the list will be got through in less than a fortnight. CIiOWN coma. Mr. Justice COLERIDGV, in his charge to the grand •ury, c,:ngratulated them upon the lightness of the ca lendar, and at the same time observed, that none of the cases, so far as he was able to ascertain the fact frern ,se depositions that had been re'urned, involved any chili: 1111 y or point of law. He made the re:,ervation with regard to the depositions that had be en returned, b. ea . i3o it appeared that, in a great mury:eai-e, the depositions had not been sent by the committing magis trates. This neglect was likely to lead to very great inconvenience, because, in the first place, it was the means of preventing the judge, on a,,y particular case, from explaining the law, as appl)ing to it, to the grand jury, and it also tended to encumber the judge in the performance of his duty, by preventing him ;from making himself acquainted with all the facts of the cases likely 'to come betorz. him. He did not wish to be understood as speak ing offensively, but it should be understood that it was the duty of the committing magistrates to return the de positions on the day the judge came into the county to open the Commission, and the magistrate who neglected to do so was liable to be fined, He wished, however, that :so unp'easant a duty would not be cast upon the Court, but that in future the depositions would be re turned earlier. Maiia Hancock was indicted for stealing a watch, the property of a young man, named Barthropp. The charge was clearly made out, and the jury re turned a verdict of Guilty. She was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. In this case there was certainly no ground for com plaint of the law's delay, as it appeared that the rub bery was committed on Thursday evening ; the prisoner was sent for trial yesterday morning, the grand jury found the bill, and she was tried and sentenced, all within twenty-four hours. The business in the Civil side was devoid of interest. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Derby, July3l. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULE.) Edward Pipes, a respectable tradesman in Derby, pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter. Mr. MILLEn, for the prosecution, on the prisoner withdraw ing his plea of not guilty, shortly, but almost inaudibly, ad dressed the Learned Judge, expressing, as we understood, a wish, on the part of the prosecution, that he should be dealt with as leniently as was consistent with the ends of justice. Mr. WHITEHURST, Queen's Counsel, said he appeared on behalf of the unfortunate man at the bar. It appeeared that the prisoner, going down a steep hill in a gig, and he went cer tainly at a very rapid rate, ran over a child, the death of which was the subject of the present indictment. They all knew that children were constantly in the habit of running access the roads, and how difficult it was for persons driving, more especially gay horses, to prevent accidents. The prisoner, when made acquainted with the accident which ensued, sent a surgeon, paid his bill, and defrayed every subsequent expense consequent upon the unfortunate death of the child. He had, in fact, done all that a man could do under such circumstances. By his (Mr. Whitehurst's) advice he had pleaded guilty, be cause he felt, seeing that the prisoner was somewhat in liquor, he (Mr. Whitehurst) could not successfully appeal to the jury for a verdict of acquittal upon the charge of manslaughter. He would call witnesses who would give the prisoner an excellent character, and he hoped that evidence would have due effect with the Court. Numerous witnesses spoke highly of the prisoner as a kind, ;ober, humane, and industrious man. Mr. Justice MA ULE, in passing sentence, said it appeared from the evidence, that on Sunday afternoon, the 10th of May, the prisoner, when madly drunk, drove down a steep hill in a gig, all the while flogging the horse, and when he ran over the ' child he exclaimed, " Blast your eyes." No doubt this con. duct was the result of excessive drinking—in fact, excess in drink had transformed the prisoner from the character of a peaceable man, as he was stated to be by his witnesses, into that of a savage and outrageous beast. The act was committed with the utmost ferocity; but it was said that when the pri soner came to his senses, he had done all that a man could do. Still such offences must not go unpunished. Hoping and trust ing, however, that his present position would be a warning to him, that he would not get drunk again (for if he did, he might next commit murder), and that for the future he would know how much bctter he might spend his Sunday afternoons, he should past upon him a lighter sentence than otherwise he should b , justified in doing. The Learned Judge then sen tenced the prisoner to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. The business of the assizes concluded at three o'clock. OXFORD CI RCUlT—liereford, July 31. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord DENMAN.) Wm. Taylor, aged 21, and Win. Doddyntead, aged 41, de scribed in the calendar as labourers, but evidently vagrants, were charged with having, on the 22d of May last, feloniously set un tire a stack of corn, the property of George Martell, at Bridstow, in this county. On the day upon which the fire took place, at about eight o'clock in the morning, one John Bennett, a farmer, was jour neying along the Ross road, and as he drew near the rick he observed the prisoner Taylor standing about 100 yards from it ; the other man, Doddymead, he observed getting over a gate, about 30 yards distant from the stack ; a few minutes only elapsed when the witness observed a creeping flame, about the size of his hat, glowing in the rick, and irs an instant the whole appeared in a blaze. Upon this the farmer directed his son, who was riding with him, to take the prisoner Doddymead into custody, which he did, and succeeded in dragging him to the house of Mr. Martell. While there, the young man inquired of him what was his reason for setting the rick on fire? to which Doddymead answered, " It wa'nt me, but a fellow on the road." Soon after this conversation, a look-out being kept, the prisoner Taylor was observed on the road, and he was apprehended. It was proved by the prosecutor that he left his house about half-past seven o'clock on the day in question, and that then the stack was safe. A passer-by would suppose, if he gave the subject a thought, that as the rick adjoined the pre mises of a Mr. Roberts, it must of necessity be his property. The chief evidence affecting the prisoners was contained in their own statements. Taylor said that, on the day of the tire, as he and the other prisoner were tramping along the road, Doddymead said, " set some place on fire, and get trans ported ;" and that when they came to a house near which the rick was situate, he (Taylor) went into that house to ask for a bit of bread, and on his return Doddymead said, " I'll put an end now to this travelling." Taylor then, as he said, upon hearing this, went away, and Doddymead get over the gate by the rick. Soon after he heard cries of " Fire !" and a gentle. man came up and collared him. Doddymead heard this state meet of Taylor, and said it was quite true ; that he had nothing to add to it. He in his turn made a statement that he and Taylor had long before intended to committ an offence of this description. His Loansuir summed up, and the jury, after consulting together for ten minutes, found Doddymead Guilty, and Ac quitted Taylor. Lord DENMAN addressed the prisoners, and said, that it fre quently happened that offences were committed by persons on the tramp, who were perfect. strangers to the counties through which they passed, and so, as in this instance, they not only did grievous injury and wrong, but also brought an unjust imputa tion upon the people of the district, as being wickedly disposed and discontented. His Lordship then observed, that it seemed Doddymead had committed this act with a view to transporta tion ; it was a part of his duty to let him know that this was not the only punishment which would be inflicted upon him ; there was hard labour and solitary confinement, which would be his portion. His Lordship said he should consider his sentence at a subsequent period. The prisoner was again placed at the bar, and sentenced to fifteen years' transportation. Mr. Justice Matteson disposed of the few remaining eases in the Crown Court; and the business of the assize finally closed soon after eleven o'clock. The Commission will be opened this evening at Menmouth. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKEIV WELL. CHARGE or MURDER.—Yesterday, Ann Hunter, aged twenty-four, wife of a cowkeeper, residing at No. 7, Market street, St. John-street, Clerkenwell, was charged before Mr. Greenwood with the wilful murder of an infant child of which it is supposed she was the mother. John Seward, police-constable No. 67 G, having been sworn, deposed as follows :—ln consequence of information which I received this morning about half-past eight o'clock, that a child had been murdered at No. 7, Market-street, St. John-street, Clerkcnwell, I proceeded thither. On going into the kitchen I saw a washhand basin lying on the table, containing the body of a dead child with its head severed from it as if it had been cut off with a knife. There was no appearance of blood. I inquired of the landlady and other persons in the house whe ther they had noticed any pregnant person lately, and they informed me that the prisoner, about three weeks ago, had been taken very ill, and was in great pain. I went up stairs to the prisoner's apartment, on the first floor back, where I found her at breakfast. I spoke to her, and she said she was pregnant three weeks ago, but she had miscarried, and her aunt, Mrs. Murphy, could prove it. She said Mrs. Muaphy lived on Saffron-hill. I took the prisoner into custody, and conveyed her and the body of the child to the station-house in 13agmigge Wells-road. Eleanor Kirk, of Market-street, Clerkenwell, deposed—l am a lodger in the same house as the prisoner. She lived there one month. The prisoner, when she first came to lodge there, bore all the appearance of being in the family-way. About three weeks ago the prisoner was very ill, and went to bed. She was in great pain, and sent for a Mr. Howlet, of No 23, Smith-street, Clerkenwell, who a•tended her. Never saw a child on that occasion. Did not hear screams or crying of a child. This morning, at half-past eight o'clock, Mrs. Hum berson, the landlady of the house, made an alarm, and called witness, informing her that she had discovered the body of a dead child in the water-closet with its head cut off. They gut the body out, and afterwards the head, both of which they washed, and placed them in a basin, when a policeman was sent for. Mr. GREENWOOI)—IIid the head appear to have been severed from the body with a knife ? Witness—Yes, your Worship. It was a full-grown child. The prisoner denied that it was her child, and professed total ignorance of the affair. Mrs. Mary Ann Humberson deposed—l am wife of Francis John Humberson, of No. 7, Ma , ket-street, St. John-street, Clerkenwell. This morning I found the body of the deceased child in the water-closet attached to my house. Its head was severed from its body. It was discoloured and black. When the prisoner first came to lodge in my house I suspected that she AN INiIUMAN MOTH ER. —Yestt rtlay Anne Smith, a pros titute of the lowest grade, was charged with inhumanly neg lecting her child, an infant, only twelve weeks old, in conse• uence of which its life is despaired of. The deplorable condition of the poor child was first brought to light by a girl who, having heard some talk amongst others of her own grade about the child, was induced, from motives of curiosity, to go and see it, but was so horror-vricken on beholding its emaciated condition, that she hurried to the police-station, and gave immediate information of the occur rence. Mr. Moran, the inspector on duty, promptly dis patched a constable with the girl to Mr. Thoina=, one of the relieving officers of the parish, and the board, who were sitting at the time, directed that the child should be immediately taken to the workhouse, the medical officer sent for, and every attention paid to it, and that the inhuman mother should be forthwith apprehended. A police-constable found prisoner in the tap-room of a public house, in the Broadway, playing at cards with some soldiers, and upon informing her that she must come with him, she coolly requested that she might be permitted to finish her game, but was of course not allowed to do so. Mr. Thomas produced the following certificate : " I have examined the infant of Anne Smith. The child is very emaciated, and evidently has been altogether neglected by the party who has had charge of it. It is very doubtful if the child will ultimately survive. " J. WRIGHT." Anne Green, of the Almonry, Westminster, said she occu pied the next room to the prisoner, who had been in the house two months, and came there from the workhouse. The child was at that time a very fine infant, but had within the last month fallen off very much, during which time prisoner had been away from home more than usual. The accused was fre• quently out all day long, and leff the poor infant in her room by itself, and the witness has en several occasions when she heard it crying, gone into the room, brought it out, and washed and given it food. Prisoner went out at seven o'clock on Thursday morning, and was heard no more of until appre hended by the constable. Witness washed and fed the infant on that day. The infant was produced, and caused a universal shudder ; it presented a truly emaciated appearance, and the poor child, for want cf nutriment from the mother, had sucked the flesh of one of its fingers to the very bone. The prisoner muttered that the young girl in the next room attended to it, and that it was in " a gallopping con sumption." Mr. BURRELL remanded her for a week. Prisoner inquired whether she was to be separated from her dear child? and shed a few tears. Mr. BurutELL said that thepoor infant would be taken where it would receive the kindness it was her duty to have bestowed upon it, but which duty she had neglected. LIE U T.-GENERAL NAPIER. [General Napier, the gallant Governor of Guernsey, has addresse•.i the following interesting letter to the editor of the Times. It places the character of his chivalrous brother, if possible, in a still more striking light than heretofore.—ED. Slt7l.] Sir,—ln Galignani's Messenger of the 18th of July I find the following extract from the Parisian journal called the " In England an event like that of Dahra would not even have excited remark. General Napier recently committed in the war of Sinde atrocities which nothing could equal." Upon this Galignani's Messenger observes:— " The charge against General Napier does not stand upon the same ground; true or false, it stands in juxtaposition with that against Colonel Pelissier." This intolerable calumny, invented by the &Me repeated and countenanced by Galignani, is addressed to the startled civilisation of Europe to avert its rising indignation at the barbarity of French warfare in Africa. The atrocities of Sir Chides Napier ! What were they ? Can one be men tioned? Let the Siècle state any act of his deviating in the slightest degree from honour, generosity, or good dis cipline ! General Napier never committed, nor suffered t hose under his command, to perpetrate any barbarity. Ile warred in Sinde, under the orders of his Govern ment, and justly ; he was not an aggressor. He fought two battles and won both. The first, which lasted four hours and a half, he won with 2,000 men against 34,000 brave warriors, who did not resign the field until 8,000 of th&r numbers had fallen. The second, which lasted above three hours, he won with 5,000 men against 26,000, who left a fifth of their number on the ground to attest their valour. He has made two campaigns, and fur more than two years has governed the country conquered ; and neither in his campaigns, nor under his government, has a woman or a chill been killed, oppressed, injured, or insulted. No man has been killed, save on the field of battle. Even the unmi- tigated calumniator of the Bombay Times never dared to assert more than that some officers had seduced the Ameer's women to live With them; and his mendacious assertion was instantly met by an indignant denial, published and signed by every officer of the army. No man of that army had ever seen one of the women. Ga'igizanrs Messenger desires to have General Napier's conduct placed in juxtaposition with Colonel Pelissier's. Let it be so. The French Colonel, if the French papers are to be be lieved, roasted by a slow fire 800 Arab men, women, and children, together with their cattle, rather than delay, even for a few days, his march of devastation against other tribes, and this in an aggressive war on his part. The English General invaded certain Belooch tribes, be cause they had descended from their mountains upon Sinde, cut off some troops, destroyed many villages, and murdered many men, women, and children. These tribes were not subjects of the conquered Ameers; no war had been madeon them, no injury had been done to them, no insult, no provo cation offered to them ; but to repress their aggressions, and protect the people under his government, General Napier in vaded their mountains. This surprising expedition, which lasted 54 days, presented the most formidable difficulties. A desert a hundred miles wide, arid and desolate as any in Africa, was to be passed ere the army could reach the nu merous tribes, which were to be warred down amidst stupen dous rocks and barren mountains, where more than one im perial army had been destroyed in former days, and where re cently many British detachments had been cut off. The troops had to dig, day after day, fur water, of a deleterious nature wIL:n procured; they were constantly on half ration; they had to contend with a numerous and warlike people, gliding like serpents around them in craft, and fighting like lions when beset. The Indian newspaper ridi • culed the enterprise, and predicted defeat for the madman who had undertaken it; the army, officers and soldiers alike, though brave and devoted to the last degree, sustaining every hardship, every privation, every fatigue, and meeting every danger with matchless patience and courage, had no expectation of a successful termination to their labours. The General stood alone in Isis hopes; but when his masterly combinations had reduced the tribes (whose power to destroy his army by fatigue and starvation was represented and be lieved by all to be insurmountable) to the last gasp of misery and famine—that is to say, when he was on the point of reaping the fruits of his indomitable perseverance by their surrender—l find the following passage in his private jour nal, written during the operation, and recording in homely style the impulses of his mind almost from hour to hour ; " Feb. I.—The camelmen (commissariat) have, to the tune of 500, refused to bring provisions past Shapoor"—a place midway in the desert, the army being then in mountains as wild and sterile as the desert itself—" and I am fairly put to my trumps. Well, exertion must increase. I will use the camel corps"—a lighting corps—" and dismount half my cavalry to fetch provisions, if need be. I will eat Rod Rover (his charger) sooner than flinch before these robber tribes." " Feb. 3.—1 knew I was right. I have intelligence that Bejar (the great chief of the tribes) and all his men are at Munch), a place 20 miles in advance, dying of hunger; many expire daily. Come, I will wait. Let them fast. In four days the pass will be secured, and then I am at you, Bejar, and mean to give you a bellyfull. Ay, but there are his women, and be hanged to them I I must get them and the children out of the way, even though he escape." Thus, Sir, you see General Napier was ready to sacrifice even the fairest advantages of war, and his own military re putation, to save women and children. Colonel Pelissier roasted them alive by hundreds rather than lose a few days' time—that is, if the charges aga i ns t hi m b e net an invention of the French journalists, which the falsehood of their charge against my brother gives me the right to suspect. W. F. P. NAPIER, Major• General. Guernsey, July 30. • EXTENSIVE FIRE.--This morning (Saturday), shortly before one o'clock, a fire, attended with a very serious de struction of property, broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr. Moxon, a grocer and tea dealer, situate at No. 19, Blackmoor. street, Clare-market, a very narrow and densely populated neigh bourhood. From inquiries instituted shortly after the outbreak, it appears that some of the neighbours first discovered the fire in con sequence of noticing smoke issuing through the window shutters. An alarm having been instantly raised, some of the parties injudiciously burst open the street-door. The draught thus given to the flames caused them to travel with such sur prisin rapidity that, in less than ten minutes subsequently, the house, a very lofty one, was on fire from the basement to the roof, and to effect their escape th e i nma t es w ere forced to retreat t over the roof. The engines of the pari s h, London Establishment, West of England Company, and County Office, were remarkably quick in arriving, and no time was lost in setting h work. The stock in trade being of such a combustiblete en gMet t o character, it became a powerful auxiliary to the veee much so that the scorching the fire extended completely across thes names,treetsrely fronts of the opposite houses, the inmates of which were forced to rush forth into the street in ordertrnin to escape the fire was so far sub. o'clock dued by half-past two being suffocated.

By that time, however, the whole of the furniture, stock in trade, and wearing apparel, belonging to Mr. Moxon, we re consumed, and the adjoining buildin gs severely damaged. The total loss must be very considerable. Fortunately no lives were lost. COACH ACCIDENT.—During the Goodwood races several coaches have run from Brighton. On Thursday night a coach called the Age, driven by a person named Butcher, in re turning from Goodwood, ran against th e Al drington turnpike gate with such force as to break the pole of the coach, and throw se veral of the passengers off the roof, who, however, escaped with a few bruises. The horses, three in number, took flight, and r into Brighton at a fearful rate, but owing to the late hour they escaped concussion with any vehicles, and were stopped within a few yards of the Blue coach-office. The passengers, rather shaken, arrived at a late hour the same evening. EFFECTS Or STEAM BT LAND AND WATER.—The town of Sittinghourne, in Kent, a few years past, had two respect able inns, which together used sixty pairs of post horses; the largest, the Rose, is now shut up, and the other uses only three pairs of horses and two post boys ; formerly 35 coaches went thronsh the town, now only one. was in the Tamil r way.

LOSS OF ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE LIVES. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 17.—0 n the night of the 11th instant, on the Black Sea, about forty miles cast of the Bosphorus, a most dreadful catastrophe took place. Two Turkish ►teamers, the one coming from, and the other going to Trebizond, came into sudden collision, and one of them went down with the greater part of her crew and passengers. The vessels were the Scutari, commanded by Mr. Dubbins, and the Medjehrai Tidjahrct, commanded by Mr. Lambert. The commander of each vessel was perfectly aware of the approach of the other full twenty minutes before the fearful event happened, and there was apparently no danger. But Capt. Lambert, fancying he had an Austrian vessel before him, to obey a rule of the Austrian service, put his helm a starboard, whilst the commander of the Scutari, following the rule of the English ser vice, put his helm a-port. Thus the former ran right under the bows of the latter, and the collision was inevitable. If both commanders had put their helms a.port, no accident could possibly have happened. Though it was a moonlight night, there was a good deal of fog, so that the mistake was not discovered till it was impossible to avoid its terrible consequence. The Medjehrai Tidjatiret was struck between the fore rigging and the engine. The shock was tremendous. There were a great num ber of passengers on board both the vessels, chiefly Turks and Italians, and a scene of indescribable dismay and confusion arose. At first it was not known which of the steamers had received fatal damage. As the Scutari is an old ship, and greatly out of repair, it was thought she must have suffered most, but the con. trary proved to be the case. Whilst this was in doubt, however, her commander proposed that the vessels should be lashed together, or that one should be taken in tow by the other, in order that if either of them should be found to be unseaworthy, or in a state of wreck, the sound vessel might be able to rescue the ship's com pany and passengers of the other. This proposal was most un. fortunately rejected. The vessels parted; the Medjehrai Tidjahrct dropped about a mile astern, and in the course of less than a quarter of an hour it was found that she was sinking rapidly. The Scutari, which had got but alight damage, then went to her help; but it was too late. Very few, comparatively, could be saved. The boats of the devoted vessel were so overcrowded by those who strove with frantic eagerness to make their escape, that they sunk at once. About seventy, however, by swimming, and by clinging to spars, reached the Scutari, where they clustered round the paddle-boxes till they were taken in. Captain Lam. bert and an engineer were picked up by a boat of the Scutari. All the rest, one hundred and thirty.five souls, perished. Their agony was a short one, but it was terrific. As the Scutari approached the wreck she heeled over (the people on the deck, like wild maniacs, were visible in the moonlight), and as the sea sucked her • down—as the vortex of waters she formed in sinking almost made the Scutari spin round with the motion, there rose a scream of utter horror—a last scream 2—which those who heard will never forget. But more impressive still was the passive resignation of the Turks; they sat motionless muttering their prayers; neither by cry nor gesture did they manifest any consternation I In im passive silence—amid the shrieks of despair of Christians—the fatalists met their frightful doom. From the first shock to the sink. ing of the vessel not more than half an hour elapsed. The captains of the two vessels were English ; the engineers were also English. Upon English navigation and engineers, therefore, this terrible accident must bring much discredit in this part of the world. Indeed, after every account has been given, one hardly knows how to explain it. Two ships on the broad sea, being perfectly aware of each other's vicinity, run foul of each other, and nearly the whole of the crew and passengers of one of them perish ! There has been a court of inquiry held upon the matter, but the Turks who formed the court were so utterly igno. rant of nautical affairs, that nothing like a clear explanation was elicited. These Turkish steamers have now been for seven years commanded by Englishmen, and worked by English engineers, and cut of seven hundred voyages, they have only three times met with accidents. This fact may be some set off against the mon strous blundering which led to the fearful event just narrated. THE PRESS AND THE BAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIME& Sir,—l trust that the editors of the different county papers circulating in the Western and Oxford circuits will units, in common with yourself and the gentlemen who have the manage ment of the principal London journals, and resent the insult offered to them by the bar of those circuits, and refrain from mentioning the names of the barristers employed in the various causes, which it is advisable, for the public benefit, to have re ported. Such a proceeding, I think, would affect the interest of these wealthy gentlemen more than any other plan that could be devised. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A SOLICITOR. HEREFORD CITY REPRESENTATION.--HEREFORD, THURSDAY.—The nomination took place this morning; the worthy Mayor, W. Webb, Esq., in the chair. There was no opposition, therefore there was no uproar. Sir Robert Price, Bart., was pro. posed by Robert Iliddulph Phillips, of Longwerth, Esq., and se. conded by Mr. Alderman Rogers. The Town.hall was crowded with respectable citizens, and the return was made amidst the plaudits of the assembly. The Hon. Baronet, on being declared duly elected, addressed the meeting at considerable length. Alter the election the new Member was escorted through the principal streets of the city in an open carriage and four, attended by an im mense number of friends, the whole preceded by a band, &C. SUNDERLAND ELECTION.—On Thursday, Thomas Wood, Esq., shipowner, and one of the leading members of Mr. Hudson's Committee, was summoned before the magistrates and fined, for assaulting a poor tailor, named Kirkbride, who had Been guilty of the unpardonable offence of hissing Mr. Hudson while Wood was cheering him. The fining of this gentleman for the assault has produced an excellent effect in checking the " physical fore*" demonstrations of the Tories. The canvassing was going on unremittingly during the day, and at night the constituency were addressed by the candidates and their friends. It is expeeted that the nomination will take place on Monday, and the polling on the following day. TROTTING TWO MILES UNDER SEVEN MINUTES. Yesterday, a match, which had been made by Wells (of Islington) to trot his mare two miles within seven minutes, was accomplished an two miles of the Lower-road, Islington. The stakes were 101. The animal was drives by its owner in harness and a common chaise-cart; the first wile was completed in three minutes and twenty-six seconds, and the second was performed in three minutes and twenty.two seconds; thus winning the match by trotting the two miles in twelve seconds less than the stipulated time. The mare was driven without a whip, and went the vOtiole distance without a break. -~_ ~• -:~. --f/~ it n 1 34 .... 21A 51 1 4 76 lo'A 10A;-,./ SS. 3' . • F fl.' ii• onlag . dC. ,or a no , 1 I t ' 1 N. .
