The Provisional Committee have the satisfaction to announce that the Shares have been all allocated to a highly-respectable and solvent Proprietary, a very large portion of the deposits received, and the remainder is in course of payment. _ ... . The Parliamentary Surveys are nearly completed, and will be ready in a few days to be submitted to the Board of Trade, with authenticated statements of the traffic, which more than verify the expectations originally formed of this undertaking as to the cost of construction, and prove that it will be highly remunerative. Another Company, styled the Irish Great Western Railway, having been lately brought before the public, and adopting a course from Saltine to Athlone, and thence to Galway, a line originally examined as far as Athlone by this Committee, and aban doned in consequence of the manifest insufficiency of the traffic, has been mistake i by many persons as the same undertaking as that to Mullingar and Longford. The Provisional Committee, therefore, feel it necessary to guard the public against any mistake in this respect, by stating that their Line to Mullingar, with branches to Athlone and Longford, has no connexion whatever with the Company referred to. By order of the Committee, JAMES MALLEY, Secretary. Dublin, 48, Upper Sackville-street, Oct. 23, 1844. D ISSOLUTION of PARTNERSHIP SELLING OFF. Messrs. J. and J. HOLMES, in consequence of the termination of the Partnership of J. and J. Holmes and Le Batard, will corn. mence selling off, at an immense sacrifice, on WEDNESDAY, the 30th of October, their vast and magnificent stock of INDIA, FRENCH, and BRITISH SHAWLS and SCARFS. Gold and Silk Delhi Shawls and Scarfs, India Tables, China Vases, Card and Work Boxes, with various other Oriental productions, collected with the greatest care, from India, China, the Continental and Home Markets ; together with their extensive and fashionable col lection of CLOAKS, MANTLES, SCARFS, &c. It will be necessary, for the purpose of re-marking the entire stock, to close their warerooms from the 26th to the 30th of October, on which day they will re-open for the purpose of selling off, without reservation. The high standing and notoriety of the house of Holmes, for many years, for the splendour and magnitude of its stock, which has, within the last few years, increased to an enormous extent, induces them to adopt this mode for its reduction, upon the retire ment of M. Le Batard to Paris. Foreign and British Shawl Emporium, 171, 173, 175, Regent_ street. Just ready, in 2 vols., small Svo., ADVENTURES - OF AN OFFICER IN THE SERVICE OF RUNJEET SINGII. EDITED BY CAPT.

After an apparent s l um b er of ten weeks —we say " apparent," for the sleep has bee n i ap pearance only, as we shall presently show—this great national Confederacy has openly resumed the work of vigorous agitation. On Thursday evening last it held its first public meeting for the season in the Free-trade 11211 of Manchester, and a more impor tant meeting—whether as regards the numbers, the wealth, the intelligence, the influence, or the respec tability of those who attended it—never yet took place in that great manufacturing capital. Mr. WILSON, who as usual occupied the chair, opened the pro ceedings by some deeply interesting details respecting the success which the agents of the League had met with in their efforts to improve the registration of Lancashire. " The result of these efforts," said the Chairman, " has been to give us a gain of five hun dred and thirty-three votes for the Northern, Division of the county, and to give us two seats for the Southern Division ; and to leave the Mono polists three seats in the boroughs, or five out of the whole twenty Members for the entire county ; and I think you will agree with me, that there never was, in the history of registration so complete a sweep of a county as this has been ! I have also in my hand a list of returns for seventy out of the hundred and fifty boroughs over which the League has exercised some influence, and of these there are sixty-eight in which there has been a clear gain on the registration ; in some a great gain, but less or more in all." After a triumphant statement like this, what becomes of the declaration of the Monopolists —not once but a dozen times made during the last few weeks—that the League was fast losing its hold on public favour—that its funds were exhausted, its energies enfeebled, in short, that it had run its allotted course, and was already in the last stage of decrepitude ? Why, it now appears that in stead of being in the debilitated condition alluded to by its opponents, the League was in reality plying the work of agitation more briskly than ever, and quietly stealing a march on the Monopolists, while they good, easy souls were hugging themselves in the belief that, like Cardinal BEAUFORT, It " was dying and making no sign ! ' Yes, at the very moment when the opponents of the Anti-Corn-law League were congratulating them selves at their various agricultural meetings on the " great fact" that this popular Confederacy was on its last legs—at that very moment it was dealing them the severest blows they have yet experienced at its hands! " Look to the Register," said Sir R. PEEL to his friends in the days of Tory despondency. Well, the League has taken this advice—nam fas est ab hoste doceri and the consequence is, that they have already rescued Lancashire from the clutches of Monopoly; and were a general election to take place to-morrow, the probability is, that at least a hundred additional Free-traders would be returned to Parliament. What say you to this, Messrs. Monopolists ? You may sneer, if you please, at the assertion, and hold it in utter discredit ; but we believe it to be as true, as your late statement of the exhausted condition of the League is false. This in fluential Confederacy, indeed, has never been in so healthy and vigorous a state—never exhibited such a decided promise of a long, active, and prosperous existence, as during the period when it was so kindly and considerately consigned to the " tomb of the Capulets" by its opponents. Though it made no noise or stir on the surface—though it held no prize manu facture shows, in imitation of the Monopolists' prize cattle shows—yet it was actively working, like the mole, under ground; and was never so ener getic as when to all appearance it was most lethargic. We now see the fruits of its noiseless exertions, in the thorough purification of the Register throughout Lancashire, as well as in several other places where the constituency has till now been corrupt, or if not Absolutely corrupt, at least oppressed with torpor and indifference. Of the speeches delivered at the great meeting of which we have been speaking, the best was decidedly that made by Mr. COBDEN, who being, like Alercutio, in " a mirthful vein," read the agricul turists some pleasant sarcastic truths, better calcu lated, we suspect, to edify than to entertain them. [Tow he lashed them for their fat prize-ox meetings ! What ridicule he cast upon their ploughing matches, And their annual thirty shillings reward to him who stood longest and worked hardest behind the tails of two bullocks in an unploughed field ! Had an agri riulturist been present while this cutting exposition of his favourite system was going forward, it must have been as diverting a spectacle as mortal optics could desire, to have watched the varying expression of his prepossessing physiognomy, and the modest confusion that must have been diffused over it, when the humi. liating conviction—thanks to Mr. COBDEN—was first impressed on him that he had been making a fool of himself regularly once a year, since he first patronised , attic chu s and ploughing waCelieb, as the best means whereby to improve the condition of the labouring classes. it may suit NAaVAEZ' purpose to cut them short, which will cause no regret. Upon the Exchange of Madrid on the 18th, the Three per Cents. were at 26, ready money, and 26/ at sixty days ; the Five per Cents. at 201, at sixty days. The Journal des Debats publishes a summary of the Bill presented by the Spanish Government for remodelling the Constitution, and prefaces it with this significant remark :—" We confine ourselves to publish it to-day without comment." It will require some time and some ingenuity for the organ of a Go vernment, which has encouraged this inroad upon Spanish liberty, to make this outrageous attempt sup portable even by the adherents of the French Court. The outline published by the Journal des Debats differs in no respect from that which appeared in The Sun on Friday. The Republican journals of France display the highest state of excitement on the occa• sion. The National is furious, and calls for a general rising throughout Spain to put down the despots. A correspondent of that paper thus writes from Ma drid :—" Rest assured that a counter-revolution is proceeding, escorted by the representatives of Eng land and France, and that M. BULWER greatly out runs M. BRESSON in this race towards perdition. Rest assured, also, that at the end of this month, or the beginning of the next, the Cortes will have disap peared from Madrid—that the Chambers will be closed, and that MARIA CHRISTINA will remain abso lute mistress of affairs, either with the consent of the Deputies, or by the means of a coup d'etat." A cor respondent of the Siecle says : " I do not know what day the conflict will commence, but there certainly will be a battle. The Spaniards could not, in fact, without forfeiting the esteem which their national character has acquired, suffer with impunity the insolent and ridiculous re-action sought to be imposed upon them. A Bonaparte might effect an 18th Bru maire, to which a nation might submit without abdicat ing their dignity ; but that a Narvaez, aided by men all remarkable for the insufficiency of their talents and the impotence of their character should dare to say :—‘ Re nounce your national sovereignty, which broke the chains forged by monkish and monarchical despotism ; give me unlimited authority to make laws by ordinance, and I answer for all '—such conduct is intolerable, odious, and absurd. The Minister has, however, presented his plan of reform, and is determined to support it, if necessary, by military force." Queen CHRISTINA'S paper, of course, is delighted with the bold scheme, asserting that it is absolutely necessary for defeating the disloyal intrigues of " Young Spain." " These young men," says the Presse, " are neither Royalists, Conservatives, Pro gressives, nor Republicans. Between a party of Monte at the Cassino, and a dinner at GEVIE'S, they have picked up a certain jargon of Atheism which they call philosophy, and it is in the name of this philosophy that they mock at all political movement," Notwith standing the unfavourable aspect of Spanish affairs, the French Funds slightly improved.

Clarke, of Pall-mall East, entitled the " First Report of the Committee of the Society for the Emancipation of Industry, bringing down their proceedings to the ter mination of the Parliamentary Session of 1844." It is a document every way worthy of the careful labours, the unwearied zeal, and the undaunted spirit of a body of individuals who have rendered so much good service to the common weal by their sustained efforts to enlighten public opinion, and to enlist the public voice against the disastrous fallacies in corporated in the monetary system of the Bullionists. A more complete and unqualified case was never established, upon inferences more logically drawn from incontrovertible premises, than is proved in this able and temperate paper against the monster mischief known as Sir Robert Peel's Bank Charter Bill of last session. It makes its appearance, we trust, in good time to invigorate and inspirit those somewhat tardy, but determined efforts, which the agricultural, commercial, and banking interests of Scotland are now making, from Jedburgh to John o'Groat's House, against the threatened administra tion to their now thriving country, of the Premier's quack nostrum—the golden pills—which, notwith standing all the skill he has heretofore taken credit for exhibiting, as consulting physician to the State, have produced absolutely nothing but disorganisation and disease in her constitution. We warned our brethren, North of the Tweed, while the meditated mischief had been as yet but briefly announced, as kindly in tended " for England, only," that the apathy with which they looked on at the " Doctor's" " magnetic passes" on their southern kinsmen, would soon be converted into the alarm consequent on the fact of being themselves the next patients selected for expe riment. Our words have proved " ovvre true" almost sooner than we expected. The banking interest of Scotland certainly exhibited, pending the last session, a degree of moral timidity in not running to the rescue of their neighbour whilst the fire had not yet scathed their own roof-tree. Now that the incendiary intention of making them submit to the same disaster, is fairly announced, we trust they will be all "up and doing," and prepared for efficient resistance and defence before the next session commences. In a day or two we shall return to the Society's " Report." The sig nificant statements of our City Correspondent, corro borated, as they are, by the statements which appear in the " Money Market" articles of all our Contempo raries, are but too likely, we fear, to involve the in dications of an approaching re-visitation of some of these evil influences which have periodically developed themselves since the passing of Peel's " Currency" Bill in 1819, as its unquestionable and necessary results. The speech of the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, on the memorable Writ of Error in the case of " O'CoNNELL and others," ha 3 always been considered, by those who had the good fortune to hear it, a magnificent effort of forensic eloquence. [t may fairly be admitted—without the slightest dis paragement to the readiness and tact evinced by the Parliamentary Reporters and the London Press, in sealing with the multifarious subjects that enter into the composition of the debates which they report— chat legal judgments form a rare, but necessary, ex :eption to the class—the very extensive class—of de ,:laimed orations which they transfer from their speakers to the public, and to posterity, with such astonishing spirit and fidelity. But a prepared legal judgment, in addition to its more maturely-con sidered composition, which excludes and rejects, not merely a surplusage of words, but even a redundancy of thought, in favour of a direct, severe, condensed, Ind logical train of reasoning—shaped accurately to the elucidation of abstract principles of law, and the illustration of their bearings on the case in hand, in reference to the modifications of statute, common, or municipal law, and the legitimate authority of usage ind custom ;—such a judgment carries with it, as a perhaps indispensable and an universal element, a degree of technical elaboration which the Reporter cannot, in fairness, be expected fully to represent upon his notes. For this reason, mainly—and we could suggest others—we have been well pleased to find that Mr. D. LEAHY, one of the Counsel engaged in the memorable cause upon which this Writ of Error issued, has published the " Judgment of Lord DENMAN," as delivered by that distinguished lawyer an the 4th ultimo in the House of Lords. Mr. LEAHY, as we learn from the brief, but sensible, preface which he has prefixed to the "Judgment,' has been enabled to usher into public notice this authenticated version of it, under circumstances of unusual interest and importance. Lord Chief Justice DENMAN " was pleased, in the most obliging manner, to comply with the request" which Mr. LEAHY had made to him, "to be favoured with certain state ments to which his Lordship had alluded," in the course of his judgment, as "having committed them to writing, but which he did not propose to address to the House." The public are much indebted to Air. LEANT for having shown such commendable L'oresight in obtaining, and such industry in ranging, materials so precious in the just apprecia ion of a question of vast constitutional importance and interest. On another occasion we shall give the whole of Mr. LEAHY'S preface, entire, as it presents a real and accurate resume of the principal distinctive fea tures which that question assumed, both in the Court below, and on the appeal before the House of Lords. gt occasions us much regret to learn that whilst the Imperial Parliament, and some of the principal municipal bodies of the kingdom are making the most praiseworthy and hemvolent efforts to provide for the labouring classes of the people, in a more especial de gree, places of healthful resort, public walks, parks, &c., the Commissioners who preside over the adminis tration of the estates of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, which are the hereditary pro perty of the Duchie3 of Cornwall and Lan caster, are pursuing a precisely opposite course. They have chosen, too, a season which has been remarkably distinguished by the prevalence of those disorders which arise from the overcrowding of tenements in densely-peopled and ill-drained localities, to hold out a premium for the profit of his Royal Highness's rent-roll, to the further indulgence of that spirit of brick and mortar investment, which is the local curse of all the suburban sections of this capital. Kenning ton- green—a small plot, heretofore a common " green" (as its name imports)—afterwards usurped as a market garden, and in either destination forming an open and cheerful space between the Vauxhall and Kennington roads, at their junction near Kennington-cross, is now let out for building leases. No greater nuisance to the houses on the east and west sides of the green, or the said two roads,!respectively, can be imagined:; but the question of health to the operative and indus trial communities who reside in, or habitually fre quent this vicinity, is, of course, of para mount importance. The contemplated nuisance is attempted to be justified on the plea that it is expedient to reduce the present charge of managing the revenues of the Duchies, to one of which the land belongs. The reduction of the salary of the Chancellor or the auditors would be equivalent, we should say, to the fee simple of twenty such plots, and would be unattended with one particle of that ill feeling which the execution of this notable project is calculated so justly to excite. We had hoped that the time had gone by for this species of land-jobbing, at the cost of the comforts of the poor and the health of the public. We have also determined to transfer to our columns the very important matter which it was the Learned Chief Justice's intention, as we have already noticed, to have incorporated into the judgment actually de livered by him. Mr. LEAHY has interposed a pre liminary statement before these "Additional Ob servations," which clearly and succinctly explain the motive for their separate appearance. The pamphlet, vith its "Notes, Preface, and Additional Observa tions,".is a compact and invaluable record of that constitutional and legal " Speech " on which was mainly founded the decision of the House of Lords, reversing the judgment of the Court below against the pat ties arraigned under the recent State Prosecu tions in Ireland. Madrid journals of the 16th have been received, from which it appears that great interest was dis played on that day by the inhabitants, to ascertain the new measures of the Government. The Cham ber of Deputies and all the galleries were crowded with anxious spectators. Several of the Foreign Min isters were present in their official costume—among others, Count BRESSON and Mr. BULWER, and also the Duke of GLUCKSBERG and M. DE BROGLIE, and few M.G r in A tro mi d l u x e u to l r ;Ac re E m s. arks G , eneral NARVAEZ, aftera the measure,br ought forwarudrgthinegßsileir!aoauds entered reasonsi into t o o r long explanations of the motives of the Government, :1r i of a s t e h r P i of principallog changes speeebes p o r n o P° th s : d ; new w ß e ll r, ayex pectunless Sir James Graham arrived in town to-day from IVindior Castle, where, it is understood, the Right Hon.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 24.—The Senate had a short sit- ting yesterday, in which the draft of an address, in answer to the King's speech, was brought up. The draft was, as usual, an echo of the speech. The Chamber of Representatives chose for its President M. Liedt, who had 62 votes, the number of Members present being 67. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY ETENING, OCTOBER 26, IM4. THIS DAY'S NEWS.

The truly absurd clause in the regulations issued by " My Lord Mayor Magnay," prohibiting parties even from attending to their own business, within the pre scribed limits, noted by us yesterday, now creates dis gust, as well as ridicule. A host of letters have been addressed to the " Home-office," on the subject, and sans doute, the higher powers, will control the vagaries of the Civic authorities, on the subject referred to. The following letter was posted at the North and South American Coffee-house this morning : " An outrage of a serious nature, nearly attended with loss of life, was committed this afternoon, about four o'clock, upon Captain Woodhouse, the respected com mander of the New York packet-ship Queen of the Nest At the hour mentioned, Captain Woodhouse was leaving his vessel in the Prince's Dock, when passing through the gate he was assailed by a tall powerful man, in a sailor's dress, who, without a word, sprung towards him and struck him a tremendous blow with an iron ball or stone slung in a cotton pocket-handkerchief. The blow took effect on the forepart of the temple, near to the eye, and laid him at once senseless on the pavement. He was picked up by a few persons who witnessed the attack, and carried to the Northern Hospital, where he received immediate attention from the house-surgeon, who reported that the injury, although of a most serious nature, did not amount to fracture of the skull, which was no doubt the villain's object. The assailant, on seeing Captain Wood house fall, uttered some expression not distinctly heard by those who witnessed the attack, took to his heels, and in the confusion escaped. He is known, however, and cannot long escape detection, He is one of Captain Woodhouse's own crew, amongst whom a mutinous feel ing had existed during their late voyage from New York, though with this man Captain Woodhonse, we understand, never bad an ill word. Two police officers have been placed on board the Queen of the West for the protection of the mates, stewards, &c." In the public Securities this morning scarcely any business has been transacted.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO TUE ClTY.—Official notices have been issued, stating, that on the occasion of her Majesty visiting the City, on Monday next, to open the Royal Exchange, the Treasury and the other public offices will be shut, and the day observed as a holiday. BRIGHTON, LEWES, AND HASTINGS RAILWAY. The Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway was com menced on Wednesday last by Mr. Wythes, the con tractor, on the Earl of Chichester's land at Palmer, the heaviest works being on that portion of the line. Every arrangement is now making for the purchase of the land for the remaining portion of the line ; and in the course of a few weeks the whole of the works will be in active operation,—Brighton herald. At the Suffolk quarter sessions, held at Bury, on Tuesday last, it was decided, on the motion of Mr. Bevan, to introduce the rural police into the western division of the county. The numbers were—for the motion 29, against it i 6.—Chelmsford Chronicle. Many of the merchants are expressing great un easiness at the order issued by the Lord Mayor to the eff , 2ct that no person will be admitted into the Poultry, Mansion-house -street, Cornhill, Bartholomew-lane, or Threadneedle -street, after nine o'clock on Monday next. With respect to bills of exchange, as has already been stated, there is no law to distinguish Monday from any other day, and yet the above order will render the pre sentation of them fur payment absolutely impossible in all the principal streets of London. Had the time been limited to ten or eleven o'clock, the dissatisfaction might have been less general, but the merchants do not receive many of their letters until nine o'clock, and therefore a day is entirely lost, though there is nothing in the law of the country to provide against the consequences of such an occurrence. The feeling in the city is very strong on this subject, and certainly some steps should be taken to relax an order that, if enforced, may lead to great inconvenience in the commercial world.—Tinzes. DREADFUL DESTITUTION.—Mr. Wakley yesterday held an inquest on the body of a man named Hall, who had died in Marylebone. His widow stated, that after having pawned every article they possessed, she was compelled, he being too ill to work, to apply for parochial relief, but it was refused her, and he died from actual want (it appeared) in a few clays afterwards. The Co roner declared he could see the poor woman herself was literally starving at that very moment. She said her children (four in number) were in a similar state. Some medicine had been given to her husband, but they were told that if they applied again for relief they would be "passed" to their parish, which they did not desire, as their only chance of employment was where they were. The Coroner expressed his disgust at suc'h a horrible state of things, and adjourned the inquest for a post morte►n examination, meanwhile giving the poor woman bme silver for her inappdiato BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) IN RE ALFRED TULLY. Mr. Wm. Nash, a wholesale grocer, near London-bridge, was this morning examined at considerable length, as to his trade transactions with the bankrupt, the well-known proprietor of fancy bazaars in London and its neigh bourhood. The examination was carried as far back as 1842, at which time Mr. Nash was a creditor to the amount of 3761. ; and the bankrupt then, as security for payment, granted a warrant of attorney on certain lease hold property at hackney. Failing in his payment, judgment was, in September last, entered up against the bankrupt, an execution was put into the premises, and a fiat issued against the bankrupt. The examination was further postponed. UNION-HALL . -(THIS DAY.) Samuel Bracknell was charged with furious driving and causing a serious accident to a horse. The defendant was driving a cart and sitting in front of it, gallopping along Guildford-street, when a man driving another vehicle was run against, and his horse sustained such injury that the owner will be obliged to have it killed. Mr. TRAILL inflicted a fine of 40s. on the defendant, besides adjudging him to pay 10/., the value of the horse, or in default to six weeks' imprisonment. ORLEANS, TOURS, and BORDEAUX RAILWAY. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCT. 23. The representatives of the Company Laurent, Lu zarche, and Mackenzie, had an interview with the Minister of Public Works this day, for the first time since the adjudication of this line of railway, owing to the illness of the Minister, and his subsequent absence from Paris, in attendance upon the King. The Conseil de Ministres (Cabinet Council) are to pro nounce upon the ratification of the tender this day, at four o'clock, and the representatives of the Company are to meet the Minister, by appointment, in his cabinet, at six o'clock, to receive official notification of the result. The result may be inferred from the fact that the Minister has invited the Directors to meet him, shortly, at Tours, to make an inspection of the works between Orleans and Tours, preparatory to delivery to the Company. The royal ordonnance, approving this Company, will appear, probably before the close of this week, in the Moniteur. It may be announced in the Messager, the evening Government paper of this evening, and not the Moniteur of to-morrow. PRINCE ALBERT'S ANNUAL SALE OF LIVE STOCK. —WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—The sale of his Royal High ness's live stock, selected from the Norfolk and Flemish Farms in the Great Park, and also from the Home Park at Windsor, took place yesterday, under the super intendance of Mr. Tebbott, at the Norfolk Farm, and attracted, as upon the three former occasions, a great number of salesmen and butchers from London and the adjacent towns. The sheep, which were in excellent condition, realised the following prices :-213 South down ewes averaged from 255. 6d. to 33s ; 160 South down two-tooth wethers from 225. to 255. The cattle sold as follows : 20 Scotch pole four-years old bullocks, fit for slaughter, averaged from 121. to 171. each ; 29 highly-bred Welch bullocks, from 11/. 15s. to 13/. ss. ; and 13 short-horned barren cows, from 10/. to 17/. each. Several Hereford oxen, Alderney cows, cart-horses, &c., realised very excellent prices. The proceeds of the sale amounted to upwards of 1,4001. Mr. Tebbott sold at the same time several fine Hereford working oxen belonging to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. The forgery of Bank of England notes which we mentioned yesterday is expected to create a great ex citement on the Continent. A fraud of the kind on so large a scale has probably never been known in the Eu ropean cities ; and it is not unlikely that during the panic a great many notes may be sent over here to be cashed. We have received a letter, dated from the Hospital Beaujon, mentioning that Lord Robert Grosvenor a few days since visited that establishment, and, with a kind ness which much enhanced his noble donation, contri buted most handsomely towards the relief of the only English inmate of the institution.—Paris Paper. INCENDIARY FIRES IN YORKSHIRE.—We regret to have to announce that the crime of incendiarism has appeared within the last few days in the East Riding of Yorkshire, two destructive fires of agricultural produce having occurred. On Saturday night last a wheat stack was maliciously set fire to on the farm of Mr. T. Robinson, at Ellerker, near South Cave. The stack was consumed, and some adjoining stacks and other property narrowly escaped destruction. On Thursday morning, four corn-stacks, belonging to Mr. Richard Ifornsea, of Wold Farm, near North Newbold, together with a threshing-machine, were destroyed by fire. A labourer passed the premises a few hours before the fire was discovered, and all appeared to him to be safe. These is no doubt that the conflagration was the act of an in cendiary, who, it: is conjectured, had had his malignity aroused from the fact of Mr. Hornsea having had a threshing-machine at work on the previous day. Re wards have been offered for the apprehension of the re spective offenders, but liOthing-h - as yet transpired likely to lead to their apprehhtion.- - EXTRAORDINARY 411i.iFIQE. c))7,,CßUELTY.—Yester day a girl named Enstna-Wuilievrey, about 17 years of age, was brought before Mr. James James, at the Public-office, charged Under: the following circum stances appeared that she had been employed by Mr. James Davis, of Francis-street, as nurse, and that in that capacity she had the care of an infant three months old. About a week ago Mr. Davis, on hearing the infant crying excessively, went into the room where the girl had it in her arms, and inquired the cause of its uneasiness. The girl replied that the child seemed as if it was choking, and that it was always better with the mother. Mr. Davis took no further notice, nor was any suspicion entertained that the infant had been the victim of ill-treatment, until Thursday morning last, when Mrs. Davis discovered in the evacuations of the infant two small pehbles, two buttons, a button-mould, and a hob-nail. The appearance of these things naturally excited her alarm, and she questioned the servant about th em , upon which she at once confessed that she had put the stones, buttons, &c., down the child's throat. A police- officer was immediately sent for, and, on his arrival, he asked the girl why she had been guilty of such barbarous conduct. She replied that she intended to kill the child, because the parents made so much of it. She was then taken to the station, and a surgeon was called in to examine the child, but there were no external injuries found upon the body. In the evening the infant discharged four pins, a hob nail, a brass button, and two pieces of a hard substance. The prisoner, when before the magistrates, refused to give any information touching the motives which had induced her to commit this act of wanton cruelty, and she was remanded.—Birmingham Journal. IMPORTANT APPLICATION or THE STEAM-WHISTLE. —lt is well known that one of the most common causes of the explosion of steam-boilers has been the want of a sufficient quantity of water in the boiler at the time that the heat underneath was very large. In many in stances the deficiency of water has resulted from the negligence of the attendant engineer, combined with the fact that no alarm was given, previous to the moment of explosion, of the exact state of the water in the boiler. Happily an efficient and simple exponent of the depth of water in the boiler at the time of working, and which will act as a powerful alarum in case of danger, has just been applied to the steam-boilers at one of the largest manufacturing establishments in the neighbourhood of Leeds. By of ixine• a small pipe i n commun i cat i on with the interior of the boiler at the point below which it is well known to be unsafe to allow the water to Le consumed in the generation of steam, and at the top of such tube putting one of the common whistles that are attached to the railway locomotive engines, a very effi cient alarum, as we have said, is formed ; for as soon as the water within the boiler has been consumed below the point where the pipe enters the boiler, the steam will rush up the pipe, and thence into the whistle, giving a timely warning of the deficiency of water in the boiler. We are not aware whether any similar means of safety has been tried at any other place ; but whether it has or not, we think the subject is of sufficient importance to warrant us in giving the information conveyed in this pa ragraph to the public. SFLENDID PRESENT FROM THE KING OF THE FRENCH.—On Thursday last a massive gold snuff-box was forwardid from Windsor Castle to Scotland .yard for Captain Hay, one of the Commissioners of Police, as a present from the King of the French, for the atten tion paid to his Majesty while in this country by that gentleman. The box is of the most chaste workman ship. On the lid are the initials "L. P." formed of the most sparkling diamonds, surmounted with a regal crown formed of brilliants, and it is of the value of 250 gui neas. Captain Hay also received a handsome present (a ring) from the Emperor of Russia while in England, but its value is trifling compared with the magnificent gift of Louis Philippe." Shap Fells, so — well known and dreaded by travellers, is at present like an ant bed—all alive with naveys, employed in forming the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. These industrious but sometimes unpleasant neighbours have built themselves a long line of dwel lings of the turf and heather, which is denominated Regent-street, and they have nearly also completed Queen-square. The next batch of mansions, we believe, is to be called the Quadrant, so that the west end of our metropolis will soon be out rivalled by New London, on the mountains of Shap —Cumberland Paqtet. An alarm has been spread in the neighbourhood of Wolverhampton, by the sudden death of Mr. Sheldon, of Coley, near Bilston, a gentleman of great respectabi lity ; and directly after him the carpenter who made his coffin ; both cases being considered as instances of Asiatic cholera. The former was taken ill at six o'clock in the evening, and died within twelve hours, and the latter with nearly the same rapidity—both commencing with the same violent cramps, and marked by the same severe and summary results.—Birmingha►n Advertiser. We regret to state that the Rev, the Sub-Dean of Lincoln is at this time suffering under so severe an attack of illness that but little hope is entertained of his reco very.—Linculnshire Chronicle, Oct. iiA. It is asserted by those who hati the privilege of observing it, that the attachment which the Royal chil dren evinced towards his Majesty Louis Philippe during his late visit to Windsor was as remarkable as it was gratifying. His Majesty exercised no less fascination over their infant minds, than over those of the matured individuals of all classes who had the honour of ap proaching him.
