HUDDERSFIELD, Ocr. 3. LA W INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 4. (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) RE PIIINLAS DAVIS. mtrriag,e ; that he had since taken an aversion to her, and had trumped up the story about her attempt to poison him, as he could not be revenged on her in any other way. That she could prove that she was not near the Cornwall-road on the day in question, and that the boy was mistaken in her identity. Mr. COTTINCIIIAM said, that if she could produce evi dence of that nature, it would absolve her from so serious a charge. A man named Miles was then called, who stated that he recollected the prisoner having been at his house between twelve and one o'clock on the day in question, and that he lived in Tottenham court-road. Mr. COTTINGHAM said there was plenty of time for the prisoner to have Kona over to the Cornwall road and be there by two o'clock, after leaving the witness's house. _ - _ _ IMPORTANT QUESTION.—In this case the bankrupt had obtained an order for protection, under the Act 7 and 8 Vic., c. 78, on his own petition. Mr. BAGLEY appeared on behalf of a creditor, and said that the time of protection expired this day, and he understood it was his intention to apply for an extension of the time. A meeting had been held of some of the creditors, when a pro position was made, but which he, Mr. Bayley, had to submit was mit satisfactory. The question, however, was, whether under the Act the Learned Commissioner had the power to renew the protection. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that was a question on which considerable doubt existed. By the 7th section lie had power to grant a limited protection, and to fix a meeting of creditors and appoint some person to preside at such meeting, and in fifteen days to report to him the result of such meeting. It appeared to him that that was the time when he could grant the pro tection, unless cause was shown by the trustees or two cre ditors. As any creditor might oppose the protection, it was clear there must be some limit to the time, or oppositions might be raised on twenty different grounds at twenty differ ent times. Mr. BAYLEY said that in the present Act there was no ex press power to grant the renewal at this time. The Learned COMMISSIONER expressed himself of the same opinion, but suggested that as the order of protection ap peared an ex parte application, that the best mode was to wait till all parties were present. The opposition party not attending, the case was adjourned. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that if the Act could be worked at all, some certain rule should be laid down.

The boy Hyatt, on beinc , again questioned. said he was certain he was not mistaken in the prisoner's identity. The prisoner said she was taken by surprise, and that if time were given her she would be enabled to prove satisfactorily she had not been on the south side of the river at all on the day in question. The prisoner's solicitor said that on a future occasion he should be in a condition to prove that she had been treated in the most infamous manner by the complain ant, who was absolutely married to her, although he now denied the fact ; and that he (the solicitor), in conse quence of the complainant's conduct to his client, was compelled to apply for a warrant against him at the Marylebone office. Mr. CoTTINQEAM observed, that the assertions just made, as he had before said of the cross examination, only tended to show that a spirit of rancour harboured in the breast, of the accused against the man to whom it was alleged she had sent the poison. The magistrate added that he should remand the prisoner, and that she should have time to bring forward her witnesses. Five men, who described themielVes as labourers, were charged with using obscene and disgusting language in a second-class carriage, in which were several women, on the London and Croydon Railway. The prisoners were also charged with travelling in a second-class car riage, though they had only paid third-class fare. The case having been proved, The MAGISTRATE said, that if the disgusting conduct of the defendants was passed over without punishment, women would be afraid to travel by railway conveyance, for they might beounable to escape such annoyance until they arrived at the end of the journey. He would, there fore, fine the defendants 212. each, besides adjudging them to pay the difference between the second and third class fares. _ _ _ _ POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-S BEET. Ellen Decry was charged with stealing two sheets from furnished lodgings. The evidence of the landlady showed that the prisoner had rented a room in her house for about a fortnight, and that yesterday, while she was out, witness happened to go into her room, and missed the sheets. On the prisoner's return witness gave her in charge. The evidence of the prisoner's daughter only showed that there had been two sheets in the room, and that they bad disappeared. A policeman of the E division who had taken the prisoner into custody, said, that so many people had access to the reoms that there was no knowing who had taken the sheets. They had not been found. Mr. TWYFoRD said that there was no reason for supposing that the prisoner h id stolen the sheets, especially as it was proved that she did not abscond from the lodgings, but re turned ais usual at night. The prisoner was, therefore, discharged. QUEEN. SQUAB E. Chalfont, the driver of the omnibus, No. 27, was charged with the following ruffianly conduct: — It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Pearse a sur geon, residing in Regent-street, Vauxhall bridge road, was driving his Oa* ton, in which two of his brothers were seated, over Westminster-bridge, at about six in the evening of the 22d ult. He was close on his near side, within an inch of the kerb, walking his horse, when defendant, who was behind him, drove in on his off side, and in attempting to get before him, locked his fore wheel within those of the phaeton. Mr. Pearse seeing the danger in which he was placed, called out to de fendant to stop, but he smiled, drove on in a reckless manner, dragged the phaeton, a few feet with him, and tore the wheel off, and broke the axle. The horse was thrown on the steps leading to the foot pavement of the bridge, and one of the gentlemen in the vehicle was dashed out and considerably injured. The defendant never attempted to stop, but drove on to Bridge•street, where he was overtaken by Mr. Pearse, who obtained his number. The defendant subsequently spoke to com plainant on one or two occasions, and alleging it was an accident, hoped he would " draw it mild." The damage to the vehicle was 31. For the defence it was attempted to be shown that it was an accident ; and a well-dressed person. who gave his esidence in the most unsatisfactory manner, and the omnibus conductor, were called in to support the asser tion. It was alleged that defendant had hitherto borne a very good character, and his license was produced to show that he had not been before complained of. Mr. BOND said the case was clearly proved against the defendant, and in order to teach omnibus men that they were not to endanger the lives of the public by such con duct, he should inflict the penalty of 3/. upon the driver for the offence he had committed, or commit him for one month ; and, further, he should order the proprietor to pay 31., the amount of damage, with costs. 7'H.4M ES. Samuel Hart, a mart about 50 years of age, occa sionally employed as a labourer in the indigo warehouse of the East and West India Dock Company, in Fen church•streeet, was finally examined on a charge of forcibly violating the person of his wife's sister, Mary Ann Dodd, a young woman 18 years of age, who has been afflicted with lameness of the hip joint from her In default of paying the fines, the prisoners were com• mitted for 21 days each.

The dress-making business is divided into several very distinct branches. First there are the large expensive esta blishments patronised by nobody but wealthy and aristocratic ladies, and its which the principal does nothing but the smiling and bowing, the putting off of impatient customers, the patch ing up of broken promises, &c., while a foreman is em ployed at salary of .5 dolls. to 7 dolls. per week to cut, fit, and measure. This process is not done as with the tailors—by a single measurement and subsequent calculation ; but each customer has to be fitted and measured in a process not much less fatiguing, we should think, than sitting for one's portrait. And yet we have heard of ladies who seemed actually to find pleasure in it In the spring, early summer, autumn and winter seasons these fashionable establishments are crowded with work to an almost inconceivable extent. Every few days the win dows of some leading shop in Broadway display some new figure or style of dress (perhaps adroitly kept back from the left over stock of a former season), which creates, of course, a positive necessity for every lady in the city having the slighest claims to being considered one of the " Upper Ten Thousand" to have a dress from the new article of " so desirable a style." Of course, too, nobody but " Mrs. " or Madame —could make a dress fit to be seen, although neither of them ever puts a stitch or a pair of scissors into her customers' materiel. But every fashionable lady must have it in her power to say her dress was made at such or such a well-known establishment. This occasions a grand rush to the popular dressmaking concerns and work is fre quently engaged three and four weeks ahead by them. They charge slashing prices, which are paid without grumbling (sometimes by people who beat down little barefoot girls in the price of a box of matches for the sake of" economy," and to avoid "foolishly squandering their husbands' money"). Almost all these establishments realise immense profits, and their proprietors frequently acquire fortunes in the course of a few years. infancy. The prisoner adduced evidence to show that the pro secutrix had been a person of dissolute life. Mr. BALLANTINE said, even if she were a prostitute, that was no reason why she should be treated in the manner to which she had sworn. ___...., Mr. Vann (the prisoner's legal adviser) said he could produce evidence which would perhaps induce his wor ship to dismiss the case. Mr. BALLANTINE said the charge of rape had been distinctly sworn to, and unless an althi could be clearly proved it must go before a jury. He would commit the prisoner to take his trial at the next sessions of the Cen tral Criminal Court, but at the same time would take such bail as had been previously put in, namely, the pri soner in 80L and two sureties in 401 each. Bail was put in accordingly. SOUTHWARK. Brirlyr t Smith, described as a married woman, and abaut 30 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Cottingham, charged with sending a quantity of poison to Henry Smith, with the view of destroying him. Thomas Hyatt, a boy of about nine years of age, stated that on Friday afternoon last, about two o'clock, as he was at play in the Cornwall-road, Lambeth, the pri soner, whom he had not seen before, came up to him, and asked him to take a parcel for her to Mr. Smith, at No. 3, Peer's-cooperage, near Water 100 Church. She then gave witness the parcel pro duced, directing him t ► leave it at Mr. Smith's, and to say that the person who gave him the parcel wished Mrs. Smith to make tea, and that she would call and have some with her, adding, that when he (witness) returned, she (the prisoner) would give him a penny for his trou ble. Witness accordingly took the parcel, and gave it to an old lady who came to the door, to whom he deli vered the message, hut when he returned to the place where he had left the woman, to get the penny, he tOund she was gone away. The witness added, that he had no doubt the prisoner was the person who sent him with the parcel. Mary Smith stated, that she was the mother of Henry Smith, and that on Friday afternoon the boy who had just given his evidence brought a parcel, and gave it into her hands, saying, it was given to him by a woman to leave for Mr. Smith, with the message already men tioned. The witness on untying the parcel found it con tained a quantity of moist sugar, and some lump inter iixed. She tied up the parcel again until her son re urned home, and having informed him of what had taken place in his absence, be expressed his surprise, and as he suspected something wrong he took it to a chemist's shop, and brought back word that there wa s a quantity of poison mixed with the sugar, and that if they had taken any portion it must have caused their death. But the industrious journeywoman whose busy fingers plied incessantly from morning to night, and often late into the night, " on account of the hurrying season," do the work for which her mistress gets so extravagantly paid—how is it with her ? She is employed by the week, and very often works fourteen and sixteen hours out of the twenty four, with scarcely an intermission long enough to swallow her food. Her toil, too, is of the most un healthy and destructive character bending constantly with her chest 'doubled up in one position; and she does not dare to seek for relaxation lest she should lose her place. Well— for this she gets 2 dolls. 50 cents. per week, sometimes; oftener but 2 dolls., and we have evide n ce th a t many o f th em receive but 1 doll. 25 cents. Just before New Year's, or in preparation for some great party or soiree in the fashionable season, sometimes these fashionable establishments are piled lip-deep with the gorgeous silks and satins and costly embroidered evening-dresses of their aristocratic customers, which must be done by a certain time ; and in order to effect it the workwomen are coaxed, driven, and stimulated by every imaginable artifice to push their work ahead. They sometimes eat in the chair in which they sew, and then fall to work again, continuing all night long, on ex • traordinary occasions, to work without sleep or rest. They are few of them healthy-looking—nor can we see how they manage to prolong life at all. Dyspepsia, consumption, liver complaint, would seem to be the inevitable reward of their mode of labour and life. The making of a dress, in the present era of fashionable refinement., requires talent and artistical skill of rather a high order ; and a few girls of more than ordinary intelligence, by their dexterity and the " style" they are enabled to impart to their work (which is simply genius employing itself un worthily), command much better prices. They generally, however, either become employers themselves or take in work on their own account ; and the exceptions to the state of things we have described are rare. Another class of dressmakers are those who go out by the day. They are far more independent and get better paid than the jonrnevwomeu in the large establishments, and are frequently employed by wealthy people. They are also often engaged by the better and more pretentions among the wives of mechanies and the great middle class, who ape aris tocracy so far as they by utmost and constant struggle and agony are able. Many, also, of course need help in their sew ing; and altogether there is room in New York for 100 or 150 good dressmakers to be constantly employed in this way. They receive from five shillings to seventy-tive cents. and even one dollar per day, beside their board ; and we do not see why more women, who can sew well and un derstand cutting and fitting dresses, do not go int o thi s b ranc h of the business. To succeed in it, however, requires real skill and knowledge of their profession, and some little time to become known. Families dislike to change their dress maker as much as their physician; and good dressmakers have often to be engaged three or four weeks beforehand. Beside the journeywomen and apprentices employed in the larger establishments, there are hundreds of females in all parts of the city who take in work at their own house and support themselves (and very often their families) by making dresses for all prices—from t doll. to 2 dolls. and 3 dolls. Servant girls very seldom make their own dresses, and scarcely ever pay over 1 doll. apiece. There are ten thousand servant girls in the city, who have from three to six and eight new dresses per year. Some idea, therefore, can be formed of the extent of this cheap dress-making; and when we state that it is two days' work to make the plainest dress now worn we can come pretty near the amount of the compensation—which, with steady work, would probably average from 3 dolls. to 4 dolls. per week. Henry Smith, a man about 30 years of age, was then examined. He stated that he was a charcoal-dealer in the Cornwall-road, and that when the message was de livered to him by his mother, he took the parcel to Mr. Randy, the surgeon of the Waterloo-road. That gen tleman proceede to an examination of the contents, and pronounced that a large quantity of oxalic acid was mixed up with the sugar. The witness added, that on the discovery that poison had been sent to him he made inquiries, and found the boy Hyatt, and from his description of the woman who gave him the parcel, the prisoner was at length traced, and given into custody. Mr. CoTTINaRASS asked the witness if he had previ ously been acquainted with the prisoner, and what her motive could have been in sending him poison ? Whether they had quarrelled, or she had made any threats against him ? Smith, in reply, said that some time ago she threatened (poison him. Mr. COTTINGHAM.—What reason did you give her for usiug such threats ? Smith said, that when the prisoner found he was not disposed to continue her acquaintance she became exas perated, and he supposed that she sent the poison on that account. wNhorr.

If there is a great press of work, the apprentices of course are kept closely at sewing the plain seams in a dress (which they already understand) "until the hurry is over ;" and as this hurry " generally lasts two-thirds of the year, the opportunities for learning the trade are by no means such as they ought to be. A large proportion, too, of apprentices are not competent to learn readily, if at all anything but plain sewing; and thus, at the end of the six months during which they have worked hard and boarded themselves—pay ing 10 or 15 dolls. for the privilege—not more titan one-third or one quarter turn out good dressmakers.

BRIGHTON, LEWES, AND TON BRIDGE WELLS. UCKFIELD, FRIDAY.—This afternoon, at four o'clock, a lirge number of the gentry and - f.. - rz.-2!..? of the district assembled at the Maidenhead Inn, Uckfield, to meet the projectors of this lire, and discuss the propriety of car rying the direct line through it. On the motion of Mr. J. T. UNDERWOOD, the Rev. EDWARD TURNER was voted to the chair, who stated the route of the intended line to be a direct means of commu nication between Brighton and Tonbridge Wells, com mencing at a point of junction with Brighton and Lewes, at Lewes, by the valley of Ouse, to pass Uckfield and Ro therfield to Tonbridge Wells ; there forming a junction with the Tonbridge Branch of the South Eastern. The proposition went on to state that the general opinion of the inhabitants of Uckfield was, that the proposed line was much required. Mr. WILLIAM HALLET, the projector of the line, in a speech of some length, detailed the advantages that would accrue to the various towns, and gave it as his opinion, in an engineering point of view, that the route would be the cheapest, and by far the safest in that difficult part of the country. A good deal had been said about the line not paying its working expenses. He remembered that when the Brighton line was pro jected, the shareholders were called idiots to think of its ever paying. The sequel had shown how erroneous such an opinion was. Mr. STRATFIELD objected to the line passing through Uckfield, on the ground that it was not required, and that it would materially injure the trade and interests of the town. Mr. EDWIN JAMES, barrister, addressed the meeting at some length. The meeting was not one of those pro jected by men who would get up a line of rail from John o'Groat's to Land's-end, for mere stockjobbing purposes. This line would be carried out, but the pre sent question was, should it pass through that town ? Mr. H. LAW was of opinion, with Mr. Stratfield, that the line would injure the tradesmen of the town, by enabling persons to go to London for what they wanted. This was the case with Reading. . _ _ Mr. GLAZER said he had been a resident in Reading, and so far from trade being injured there, it had beenbe n,fited by tho railway. The Rev. IL HALL, of Fromsfield, was glad to hear of the proposed line coming to that town, as he considered railways conducive to moral civilisation. Resolutions in favour of the line having been carried, the meeting separated. NOTTINGHAM AND LINCOLN.—On Tuesday a meeting of the Directors of the Midland Railway was held at the Derby station, and the contract by Messrs. Holland and Smith of Leicester, for the promotion of the Nottingham and Lincoln line, having been given up by them, the works were re-ht to Messrs. Craven, of Bingley, York shire, who, pursuant to the terms of their contract, will on Monday next commence the formation of the line. Arrangements are, it is said, in progress for the amal gamation of the Scottish Western and Scottish Grand Junction lines. (FROM OTJ COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

THE ART OF FLOATING.—The following hints are well worthy of attention:—" Any human being who will have presence of mind to clasp the handy behind the back, and turn his face towards the zenith, may float at ease, and in perfect safety, in tole rably still water —aye, and sleep there, no mat ter how long. If, not knowing how to swim, you would escape drowning when you find yourself in deep water ; yon have only to consider yourself an empty pitcher ; let your mouth and nose—not the top of your heavy head—be the highest part, and you are safe ; but thrust up your bony hands and down you go—turning up the handle tips over the pitcher. Having had the happiness to prevent one or two drowings by this simple instruction, we publish it for the benefit of all who either love aquatic sports or dread them." HONEY-TAKING IN INDIA.—A swarm of b ees had fixed their abode on the ceiling of a verandah, and in due time, when the honey was deposited, we wished to collect it, but were for some time at a loss for means. Hearing, how ever, that there was a gardener who possessed a peculiar art of doing it unhurt, he was sent for, and desired to bring down the honey. He took some of the plant called toolsly (black ocymum) and rubbed it over his body, face, arms, and hands; he then chewed a little, and held a sprig of it in his mouth. With no other than this apparently slight defence, he mounted a ladder, a large dish in one hand and a sharp knife in the other; and though as thinly clad as his class usually are, with thousands of bees swarming about his naked body, he with the greatest sangfroid cut immediately through theupper part of the comb, where it was suspended to the roof, and receiving the whole of it in the dish, brought it down -without having srttered from a single sting.—Madras thenceum.

PORTSMOUTH FRIDAY.—We have received most dis astrous accounts from the coast of Africa relative to the prevalence of fever at certain parts of that station, and on board numerous vessels, by which vast numbers of their crews have been swept off. In one case seventy are reported to have fallen victims on board one vessel, out of a complement of 130. We decline, from pru dential motives, giving the names of the vessels attacked, as the details would only serve to alarm the feelings of those who have friends or relatives on that station. We much fear we shall in a few days have to report cases even more painful than that of the unfortunate Eclair. The Centaur steam•frigate, on the design of the Sur veyor of the Navy, has been ready for floating out of dock for some days. When this vessel had proceeded so far in her construction as the laying of the decks, the workmen were taken off her, and divers alterations (even at that stage) projected, such as raising the decks a foot higher each (!) throwing the bow more out, bringing the sides more into the shape of a sailing vessel, &c , and plans a ere sent to the Admiralty for their approval. Now, we opine nothing but a conviction of her swimming considerably deeper than was expected after she was laid down. could have caused an applica tion for raising the decks so much as 12 inches higher than was originally planned. We believe the Centaur to be the Firebrand, lengthened ten feet. When the drawing of the Firebrand came down, it was marked for two vessels, the " Firebrand " and " Centaur," but dur ing the progress of the building of the former the draw ing was sent for, and came back lengthened 10 feet, which we think will le. font d correct with regard to the projection of the Centaur. The alteration of the bow and quarter alluded to above we believe was a sugges tion of Captain Sir Thomas Hastings, but was nut in tended for the Centaur in particular ; that scientific offi cer contended that our large steamers of war should be armed with two pivot guns at each extremity, and also be enabled to fire guns from their main deck out of their bow and stern ports, and, as it is customary to construct steamers with sharp bows, the difficulty is apparent which presents itself against bringing a gun to bear fore and aft out of a port. The following are her principal iimensions:— Length from the fore part of the figure-head Ft. In. to aft part of the taffrail Length between the perpendiculars Length of upper deck Length of keel fur tonnage.. 174 4a Breadth, extreme 37 0 Breadth to outside of paddle•boxes Breadth for tonnage 37 0 Breadth, moulded 36 4 Depth in hold Burden, in tons, 1,269 80-94 ; Horse-power, 540 She has a much flatter floor than the Firebrand, which is a great improvement. The following is the armament the Centaur was con structed with the view of carrying : — 3 a 2 n : longu no 32-pounders.

Whether she will ever put to sea with one-half of this formidable armament renittns to be seen. Our opinion is, if she does, she will never return to port entire. We ground our opinion upon the past samples of vessels of the " intuitive" construction. The Superb, 80, Captain Corry, was undocked to-day. She has had about 600 hands employed upon her. Her copper was entirely stripped off, and her bottom partially re-caulked, not for any leakage, but for " nothing," as her boitom was very sound and clean, as was her copper. She has been entirely newly coppered. What all this expense has been incurred about (upwards of 1,0001.), we believe even her gallant and efficient captain does not know. It is a freak of the Navy- office, we presume. One circumstance, however, connected with this ship, reflects the very highest credit upon the artizans em ployed upon her ; the entire process of stripping the copper off the bottom, re-caulking. and re-coppering the vessel with new metal, only occupied a space of time not exceeding 18 hours. The Raven, 4, Lieutenant Commander Stephen, ar rived this morning from the eastward with supernume raries. The Fanny, tender, Master Commander Aylen, re turned yesterday from the eastward, whither she had conveyed the of of Admiral Sir C. Rowley. The Mercury tender, Master Commander Scarlett, also returnsd yesterday from Chatham, whither she had been with the baggage of Sir Charles Rowley, Bart., late Commander-in-Chief at this port. The health of Rear Admiral Hyde Parker is suffi ciently restored to admit of his personal attention to the duties of his office, which he is superintending with a zeal and activity as if to make up for any retrogression in the work of his department ( uring his late temporary absence in the command of the experimental squadron. In Harbour—The Victory, President, Excellent, Superb, Rattler, Victoria and Albert, Fairy, Amazone (Prussian), Dasher, Comet, Echo, Emerald, Fanny and Mercury tenders. In Dock—The Prince Regent, Leander, Amphitrite, Trincomalee, and Centaur. In the Basin—The Nelson, Carnatic, Harlequin, and Scourge. At Spithead—The Formidable. DEvoNPowr.—The Nimrod, 20, is ordered to be re• paired with African teak wood at this port, not " ordered home with African teak wood," as erroneously printed yesterday. Woos:wirers, OCT. 3.—The Devastation steam-frigate, Commander Kitchen, has nearly discharged all her stores since her arrival at Woolwich, and is to be paid off on Wednesday, the Bth inst. The Growler steam-vessel, Commander F. H. Buckle, recently on the coast of Africa, is ordered round to Woalwich to be paid off, and is daily expected. The Eclair steam vessel, from the coast of Africa, whose office , s and crew have suffered so severely by a malignant fever, was built at Woolwich, and christened the In . ernal, but had her name changed to the Eclair on being appointed to be one of the royal squadron which accompanied her MsjestY to Scotland. Several persons had a horror of the name Infernal, and prognosticated no good to the vessel, and their superstitious fears hay.. been awfully borne out to the subsequent fate of the greater portion of her officers and men. A letter was received on Tuesday at Woolwich from a young lad of the name of Campbell, who went out in her as assistant • clerk at the age of seventeen, and he now performs the duty of purser. The letter was nearly black, owing to the measures adopted with it to prevent infection. The Cuckoo steam- vessel, Lieutenant-Commander A. Parkes, recently appointed to protect the fisheries on the north coast of Scoaind, has just returned from the Shet land Islands to Leith, her principal station. Royal Artillery.—Captain Story's company, Ist bat talion, will march on Monday next, the 6th inst., from Dublin for Charlemont, to relieve Captain D'Arley's company of the same battalion, and the latter, on being relieved, will proceed to Dublin to be in readiness to re turn to head quarters at Woolwich. Military Prisons.—Workmen commenced yesterday to dig the foundations of a buildit h os to be erected on the north side and adjoining the Royal Artillery Riding School at Woolwich, for the purpose of confining men whose conduct has rende.ed them deserving of military punishment. The budding is to be two stories high, with double rows of eells on each side, the entrance ex tending its whole length, with a residence for the provost sergeant. Woolwich Division of Chelsea Pensioners.—A collar maker is at present employed to make 300 stocks, and Mr. Laird, late master-tailor of the Bth battalion of Royal Artillery, with six men, is fitting the clothing of the Chelsea pensioners enrolled for service in this quarter. The men are expected to assemble on the 22d instant to have the whole of the clothing fitted on, and they are to be made ready to be called out at any time on the shortest notice. CHATHAM, OCT. 3.—The Formidable, 84 guns, Cap tain George F. Rich, is ordered to be paid off here with out removing bulkheads, cabins, or a ny of the internal fittings. She is expected to arrive at this port daily. The Grandy Master has arrived from Deptford, and was taken into dock yesterday to re-eatalk and re•copper her bottom. The Mick, Savage master, sailed on the 2d inst. with stores for Plymouth and Pembroke yards. The Aid, Swailman master, is ordered to load from this yard, with stores for Portsmouth yard. The Cre! , sy, 80 guns, is ordered to be laid down on the slip vacated by the Bull-dog steam-frigate yester• day. The keel will be immediately laid down. The barque King William arrived on Thursday, the 2d inst., from Sierra Leone, with a cargo of timber for the service of the dockyard. • The Retribution steam-frigate ; Meander, 44 guns ; and Calypso, 20 guns, are lying off the dockyard ready for the pendant, SHEERNESS, THUBSDAY.—The Black Eagle steamer having landed Rear-Admiral Bowles, C. 8., at Chatham Deckyard, on a visit of inspection, passed out thence on Friday for Woolwich. The Raven cutter, Lieutenant Stephen, sailed on Saturday for Yarmouth, whence she returned on Tues day with volunteers for the navy. Continuing under way, she pr. ceeded with a party of them to Ports mouth. The Blenheim, 74, intended for the block ship at this port, and now in dock, has nor yet been taken in hand, the plans for the conversion being not yet thoroughly matured. The Ocean, 80, guard ship, progresses with her refit in dock. She is to have the following armament :—On her upper deck, 14 32-pounder carronades ; on her main deck, 16 32-pounders, 56 cwt., 9 feet 6 inches ; on her lower deck, 16 8-inch guns, 65 cwt., 9 feet. Her former armament was only 22 12-pounder guns of 34 cwt. The Fury steam frigate will complete planking in a few days. The Alarm, 26, and Brilliant, 20, have been reported ready for commission. The repairs and alterations of the old fortifications were commenced last week by Mr. Josiah Hal , of Qaectiborough, the contractor. y From 60 to 70 heavy guns, chiefly on traversing platforms, are to be mounted as s i,on as the repairs and alterations of the works are sufficiently advanced to receive them. Twenty are to be mounted on the half-moon battery at the point. The embrasures in the Admiral', battery are being filled up ; here the heaviest guns are to be mounted. The plans for the new fortifications are not yet complete. LONDON MAIL-BAG FOR LEEDS SENT ON TO NEW.. CASTLE.—The inhabitants of this town were put to very serious inconvenience on Thursday last, owing to the mail bag containing all the London letters for Leeds and the neighbourhood having been sent by mistake to Newcastle. Two bags containing newspapers and the letters for places beyond Leeds arrived regularly, but the bag with all the letters for the town and neighbourhood was missent as we have stated. The blunder took place at Normanton. It was not till after five o'clock in the evening that the bag was recgived from Newcastle, and the delivery did not take place till after six o'clock. To the bankers, merchants, brokers, and we may add newspaper printers, as well as many other classes, the delay was productive of very great inconvenience, and the complaints throughout the day were loud and hOg7.—Leeds *nun/. _ ED IC E d k ell i gh ti t in E t ß his foreknowledge Pi should ° N p purchase, h as e, A w i i i thout w lo h s o s ' of time, GRIMSTONE'S WEATHER ALMANACK, whose predic tions of the weather, from his publication to the present day, have been checked by many proprietors of newspapers and other works.

Both men strained for the winning mark, and, after a close struggle, Baker ran in the winner by five yards, and completed the one mile of road in five minutes and six seconds [ADVERTISEMENT.] ALL HEAVY, SLEEPY DROWSY, AND APOPLECTIC SYMPTOMS IMMEDIATELY RE MOVED BY " HOLLOWAY'S PILLS !"—There is often mush danger to be apprehended from attacks of Paralysis or Apo plexy when any of the foregoing symptoms hang about the system for any length of time. Such a state of things indicates mush derangement of the stomach and liver, and clearly de monstrates a great want of purity in the blood ; when this is the case not a moment should be lost in taking a few strong doses of these celebrated Pills, which so thoroughly cleanse the bowels and stomach while they act upon the liver and other organs, and thus restore the blood to its pristine purity, hy removing the seeds of disease.

Savory and Sons recomi It is very novel and of unexampled T" public is most respectfully informed that Messrs. NICOLL have received permission, according to the specification in the Act 6 and 7 Vict., cap a, to alter and otherwise adapt the coat. known as the REGISTERED PALETOT, to be suitable for winter wear, and it is now being made of a thicker ma terial, viz. of milled Llama cloth ; it is waterproofed by the new method, wltich, it is well known, does not unnecessarily confine thi. heat of the body, but the material, when thus operated upon, remains as porous as other that has not undergone this process, the effect being that it does not sop, and will turn a stout shower of rain, but not that of 24 hours' duration. Nicoll's Registered Paletot for winter wear is a garment that is warm without being heavy, which, even for travelling, the necessity of wrapping up in a cumber some manner, has of late years been found needless, distances being so much shortened by present railway and other conveyances. Nicoll's Registered Paletot, use:l alone as a morning frock coat, not over another, is found to be a most agreeable garment fbr walking exercise ; and from the skilful way it is formed, it does not confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally neat and gentlemanly appearance when worn in cold wet weather, or in the evening over a morning or dress coat. The price is three guineas, that for summer wear being two. It may be ob served that those principles • are retained that has obtained for the Registered Paletot the patronage of more than one of the Crowned Heads of Europe. The Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, the chief members of the Court, prin cipal families in the kingdom, who it is well known are distinguishe.l in their taste for perfect neatness of dress. The Regis tered Paletot having therefore necessarily excluded anything vulgar or outré in appearance, would alone recommend itself to the notice of the respectable members of the middle classes, was it not further as sisted by its moderate price, being for ready money. It may be ob tained of the principal tailors of the chief provincial cities ; but as only most of the respectable firms are appointed agents, any attempt on the part of others will thus by the public be at once detected, and such attempts, when known, will be visited by the penalties prtivided in the Act beforementioned ; and. in furtherance of which a reward of fifty pounds will be paid for information that may lead to the conviction of such parties by H. J. and G. Nicoll, 114, Regent street, London. URGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES, 11" Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en leas-ours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for 'heir make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the public, In purchasing what they conceive .to be the original to ob. 4erve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genes ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un zuarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and San, submit the following cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, the genuine," but without same or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies," and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address.
