WARD, with its appen dix, will be regarded by many as a singular document ; bat those who know the Puseyites will consider nothing really singular which proceeds from such a source. They seem to us to confound right and wrong, truth and error, and not a few of the other moral principles which have been regarded by the good in all ages as the surest guides for a virtuous and useful life. They re jest private judgment they reject even the Bible as an instructor, and overleap at one bound all the strong bulwarks of the Protestant faith, and denounce the greatest blessing of modern times— the Reformation—as a great crime. That we may not be charged with misrepresenting their tenets, we quote Mr. WARD'S own words. " Those," says he, " who care to know my reasons for thinking that the English Church, whether her voice be listened for in her formularies, or in her practical teaching, is no trust worthy guide (and, I may add, for thinking that neither the Bible nor antiquity, interpreted by private judgment, are any trustworthy guides either); I must refer to ray large work, and to my Address to Members of Convo cation,' where they will find those questions treated at length. An objection has lately been made to me In private against what has just been said, as fol lows :—lt has been objected that the English Church does teach with divine authority the creeds; because, so far as they are concerned, she speaks ' not as the English Church, but as conveying to us the faith of the Catholic Church, such as it was from the begin ning.' But let me ask—how do we know that these creeds contain the faith of the Catholic Church such as it was from the beginning ? If by our own private re searches into antiquity, then our rule of faith is not the English Church, but: antiquity interpreted by private judgment, which is altogether a different matter." These are startling assertions, coming from a member of the English Church, and they become the more alarming when it is known th a t a very large proportion of the men calling [themselves Protestant clergymen enter tain the same Catholic doctrines. Should England ever have the misfortune to fall under the keeping of such men in regard to religious matters, she would speedily lose most of the numerous and inestimable advantages conferred by the Reformation, she would resign that spirit of free inquiry which has distinguished her from most nations for centuries, and revert to a condition little better than that with which she was cursed during the darkest ages of Popery. If man is not to be guided by the Bible and his own judgment, the question comes—who or what is to be his guide ? Mr. WARP and his party will tell us the priests, the men who have by some mysterious influence received mission from on high, and who only are entitit d to point out and explain the will of the ALMIGHTY. In other words, the philosophers of the day, th e most celebrated characters in literature, arts, a n d sciences, the brightest divines of the Protestant Church, and the able expositors of the only true rule of faith are to give up their judgment, and bow before those divine personages, who, forsooth, are commissioned by the highest authority to teach the ways of righteousness to erring man. This is the consum mation so devoutly prayed for by these renegade Churchmen. They would assume all power and all authority to themselves, they would in time become seen a more frightful race of priests than the sangui- airy and despotic Druids, and sanction every cruelt) and sverz,cliss• that could possibly exalt them above Oar feLloin4eataree. Were opinions of this cast put *prat by Eke Tuseyitse as simple individuals, and in ib• shape of theories to which they wished to attract public etteutiot, we should regard them as vagaries like THE SUN, LON DON, liVinN_PS 1 those practised by JohausA Sonnac,..a . , or the founder of the "unknown tongues;" but when we. find these reli gionists making use of their sacred functions, wielding the power given to them by their position in the Church, and traitorously combining against Protestantism, whic h they had sworn to maintain and defend, we can fi nd no language sufficiently strong to describe such we r,l of honour, such breach of sacred oaths, and each a total disregard of those ties which bind together civilised society. These men remained in the Church solely to undermine it, and now begin to drop off when the law and public opinion have affixed a condign stigma on their Jesuitical plots. The following sentence from Mr. WARD'S book fully bears out the charge that his object was to make use of his position in destroying Protestantism, and in bringing back the dis ciples of the Reformation to the doctrines and communion of Rome :—" The progress from error to truth can not be made in one leap : persons cannot, on the mere word of an external authority, em brace at once a whole class of now doctrines, fo reign, and at first even repugnant, to their moral nature. The doctrines, again, to which I allude, are but accessories to the central verities of the Gospel—not those verities themselves ; and will follow in due time, in proportion as those verities are rightly believed, hear tily embraced, and fed on by prayer and contemplation. The English Church then at present, witnessing as it does those truths in its formularies, but silent, to say the least, on these accessories, does seem a providential ordinance adapted to prepare minds by degrees for the doctrine and communion of Rome." Let us be thankful therefore that the plot has been discovered (we hope in time), and that the voice of the country, which has already done so much, will compel the rest of the class to follow Mr. WARD, and join those whose tenets they profess. Mr. WARD has retired, it is true, but, in doing so, he has only shown more clearly the dangerous principles by which he was actuated. He remained in the English Church, according to his own showing, because, he says, there is nothing in that Church to hinder any one from holding all Roman doctrine, and because . all those who being in doubt of her claims, and resolving on living a stricter life in her com munion (meaning thereby Romanism) had found an ever•increasing confidence in their position. These circumstances, he adds, have ceased to exist. In short, he cannot enjoy the emoluments of Protestantism, and , at the same time, profess Popery, so he makes a virtue of necessity, and walks out, that he may not be forcibly expelled. The report of the Commissioners on Tidal Harbours, the concluding passages of which we published in our edition of Monday, will be hailed, we are confident, by all our readers, as one of the moat valuable and im portant results of the labours of the last session of Par liament. We cue imagine no subjects better entitled to the most careful investigation of a well-composed Com mission than the present condition of these harbours ; the nature and extent of works, in progress or com pleted, for the removal of obstructions, the deepening of their channels, the security of their entranes, and their general maintenance. With regard to the harbours, ILI well as to so many other of her natural resources and geographical capa cities, it may be said that the progress of this country in strengthening her position and defences, has hitherto been, not on account of their development, but in despite of them. No kingdom ever made such vast and rapid advances in all power, devoting at the same time so little, comparatively speaking, of the same energy and the same wealth to the consolidation of the advantages which the outline of her coasts affords to her. It may be that this neglect is attributable to a generous confidence on the part of the people and of their rulers in the national spirit and intrepidity ; in that love of country and that irrepressible maritime enterprise, which never find us content to awa.t the attack of an insulting enemy within our own boundaries, but make us always eager to be first a-field, by sea or by land, and urging on offensive operations. This plea may be available, perhaps, to excuse the neglect of simply defensive positions. But it cannot satisfy the complaints of humanity. Our utter deficiency of harbours of refuge throughout the long period of fire hundred years, for which our commerce has been gradually expanding itself from its incipient trade in the wool staple to its present enormous dimen sions, is a moral and social, as well as a political anomaly, for which it would be as difficult to as sign any valid excuse as it would be to devise any adequate explanation. The simple ground of expense on which Sir R. PEEL and Mr. Gormnuese have hereto fore attempted to justify their disregard of the earnest re commendations of the Committee on Harbours of Refuge, before which the Duke of WELLINGTON himself—as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports—had made out, in his evidence, a case of such urgent and imperative ne cessity for the immediate construction of these works at different points upon our shores—that ground of " expense" on which it is so convenient for First Lords of the Treasury and Chancellors of the Exchequer to fall back when they are reluctant to comply with the wishes of Parliament, and which they find it so convenient to forget or lose sight of when they have some favourite objects of their own to carry—this ground cannot be sustained. A country whose annual expenditure is up wards of 50,000,000/. per annum, whereof a considerable proportion is absorbed by civil establishments, paid on the most extravagant scale, and civil pensions and pen sions allotted by the Crown (but paid by the public), for mere personal services or considerations of personal favouritism ; such a country-cannot be truly said to be un able with safety to incur one charge of four or five or even six millions for the construction of permanent harbours of refuge for our swarming merchant vessels running down our dangerous coasts, or the fortifying new posts, or repairing old works already established, for the better protection of our trade and our stores, our coast towns, dockyards, creeks, mouths of rivers, &c. If the Premier can bring himself to persist, year after year, in a period of peace, to levy the most odious of peace taxes, though it may be the most justifiable of our imposts.;— if the Chancellor of the Exchequer insist on maintain ing this oppressive property-tax, in order that he may chuckle over his " surplus revenue " of 3,000,0001. (ex isting only in virtue of the 5,000,0001. and more realised by this single tax), shall we be told that Dungeness and Seaford can not be made harbours, nor the ports of Hythe and Rye be restored, nor Harwich improved, nor Dover deepened, nor less promising positions on the west coast of England, as well as on the south and east, be improved into available " refuges" for our tempest-tossed merchant- men and our gallant navy ? With the welfare of both of these services, the main interests, the lasting prosperity of this mighty empire are intimately and indissolubly bound up. How long, then, are exigences of finance (fictitious exigencies after all, and not necessarily attaching to a more economised or better digested system than that upon which our finance, are administered) tobe thus per mitted to outweigh the sacred claims with regard to the security of human life, and of the great arm of our na tional force, the navy? But we trust that the good sense of Parliament will vindicate the force of those claims by an expression of opinions so complete, as regards both this view of the case and the deman,ls of a torecastiug and intelligent regard to the aspect of our foreign rela tions, as shall compel the adoption by Government of the views it has solemnly recorded in the report in question. In connexion with these and a powerful auxiliary in giving to them all the effect which they ought to have, will now be taken the report on tidal harbours. The Commissioners are men well entitled to the confidence of the Legislature and the country by scientific acquire. ments or professional experience ; as official functiona ries, or as practical men of business, and Members of Par liament. Rear-Admiral Bowexs, M.P., is the Chairman. The other Commissioners are Captains GORDON BRISMiR and J. WASMINGTON, R.N., Mr. BEAUFORT, hydrogra pher, Professor AIRY, the setronomer royal, Messrs. JOSEPH Helix, M.P., AARON CHAPMAN, M.P., ED• WARD RICH, M.P.,THOWAfit BARING, M.P., and RICHARD Gonsox, M.P. They do not adopt any halting, compro mising tone in setting out their recommendatione ; and we rejoice to see that there is no mock delicacy, no " nolo Episcopari" fencing with the high and re sponsible functions which they have been willing :to take upon themselves. They recommend that " their Board should have summary jurisdiction over the waters of the tidal harbours and navigable rivers with a reservation, only, of private rights under charter, and the continuation of local boards where this Com mission may think fit. That this Commission have full powers, by the assistance of engineers and surveyors, to ascertain the extent of all nuisances and obstructions in such tidal harbours and rivers, and to summons jurors of the neighbourhood to inquire into and report upon the same, to be thereupon dealt with by the Commis sioners, where such nuisance, &c., shall be found to have existed for a period of .. . . years. That the Board divide all the coasts of the kingdom into a cer tain number of sections, each of these being placed under the superintendence of a competent person, who shall visit, at least once a year, every port, river, har bour, and creek within his district, and report the state of the same, and the progress of any works carrying on there; and that the Board may enforce the appointment of a resident engineer or harbour -master wherever the port, harbour, &c., may 'Gem of sufficient importance to call for such appointment. That the accounts of all trusts of harbours or navigable rivers be prepared and sent into this Board, made up to the 31st December previously, on or before the 31st of March in each year. That all commenced or proceeded with works, public or private, without the consent of this Board, that shall be within the high-water mark of ordinary spring tides, shall be stopped by this Board's order, and, if necessary ) ho removed at the expense of the parties who have con structed them." Other recommendations which follow regard the provision to be made for securing accurate registers and reports of the state of the harbour ground■ from time to time, registers of meteorological, tidal, and barometrical observations, dtc. The conolucties per graph is so directly to the purpose of these observations, and similar comments which we have on other occasions submitted on this very important topic to the public, that we hope to be excused for quoting some part of it in this place : " And when they eonsider the great wait of accessible har bours along the whole of the toasts of you. Majesty's dominions —more especially when the extended use of steam-navigation points to such great changes in maritime affairs, whereby every sheltered creek is likely to become of value—and when they consider that by the improvement of our tidal harbours your Majesty's beneficient intentions for the preservation of the lives and property of a large class of year Majesty's sub jects may be fulfilled, they confidently trust that no minor considerations may be allowed to impede the accomplishment of objects of such national importance." These are words of weight and wisdom. Let us hope they will be not only remembered, but promptly acted upon by the Government, who ought to feel by this time that harbours of refuge, the better mainten ance of all works connected with the conservancy of rivers and existing harbours, and the adequate fortifica tions of our exposed coasts, are national objects of far higher interest and importance than struggles for main taining the ascendancy of their own party, or for the propagation of their own political opinions. Madrid journals of the 25th ult. have been received, but they contain no intelligence of the slightest interest. A new list of senators, chiefly selected from members of the liberal professions and the wealthier classes of civilians, was to be published in a few days. On the 25th the Three per Cents. closed at 3lf for cash, and 3li for the 30th of August ; and the Five per Cents, at 22f at 60 days. The Paris Moniteur contains dispatches from Otaheite up to the 29th of April. At that period no fresh act of disturbance on the part of the nativee had taken place in that settlement, but some of them still continued in the entrenched camps of Panavia and Papenao. At the , Marquesas Islands a tribe of Nouka-lliva, discontented with a fine inflicted on it for having plundered some flocks, assassinated, on the 28th of January, five sol diers of the garrison. A detachment sent against th 4 tribe pursued and dispersed it. All the other tribes made common cause with the garrison. The principal assas sins were apprehended. Their chief, PAKOILO, was con demned to death and executed. The others were trans ported. Tranquillity had not been since disturbed. The sanitary state and situation of the establishments at Taioahe and Vaitahu were satisfactory. The same official journal contradicts the report that had appeared in some of the papers stating that Admiral CSCILLE had taken possession of Bassilan, one of the Philippine islands. "The Constitutional," it says, " announced yesterday that Admiral CF.CILLE, having occupied the , island of Bassilan, according to instructions received from his Government, had been disavowed. These assertions are erroneous. At no time did the Government give orders to occupy Bassilan, and Admiral CECILLE never took possession of this island." The other intelligence in the Paris papers is without interest if we except the accounts of the harvest from the provinces, which on the whole are favourable. The fine weather which has prevailed for some time had enabled the farmers to secure a great proportion of the crops in the north of France, which are said to be abundant and fully equal to those of last year. The Royal Family were expected at St. Cloud from Eu in the course of the week. Nothing was done in the French Funds on Sunday. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, Sxrr. 1.

SUICIDE INDUCED BY EXCESSIVE STUDY.—An inquest was held on Monday, at the King's Head, Canterbury street, York-road, before Mr. Carter, on the body of Mr. William Alfred Barker, aged twenty-three, late editor of a Nottingham newspaper. Mr. W. A. Barker, also the editor of a provincial newspaper, said that the deceased was his ion, and about three weeks ago came to hie (witness's) residence la Howley-street, York-road, to proceed from thence to Southampton, for the benefit of his health. He returned in three or four days completely altered. His memory was entirely gone, and he was unable to exercise his mental facul ties. On Saturday last witness intended to obtain a certificate as to the state of his mind, in order to place him under re straint, and went out telling the deceased to follow him, and meet him on Waterloo-bridge, bat after waiting a consider able time he became alarmed at his long absence, and returned. He then searched all the rooms in the house for him, and afterwards descended to the coal-cellar, where he found him suspended by the neck by means of a rope fastened to the iron grating, and his hands tied tightly behind him. Witness immediately cut him down and sent for surgical assistance, but if deceased was not already dead he died in a few seconds. Witness believed the deranged state of his mind to have been occasioned by illness brought on by ex cessive study. About fifteen months ago, when in London, he used to devote so much of his mind to study, that he deprived himself of necessary food and repose. He had made a pre vious attempt upon his life. *fr. J. E. Stalilsmidts, the editor of a weekly journal, having corroborated the previous evidence relative to the state of mind of the deceased, the jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased committed suicide whilst in an unsound state of mind." WESLEYAN METHODISTS AND MATRIMONT....-At the late conference the Wesleyan Methodists resolved not to adroit to the Theological Institution any married student, or any person under engagement of marriage. The reason assigned for this prohibition is, that young men so circum. stanced eagerly snatch at any means of :getting a livelihood. At the same conference the Methodists determined for the first time to avail themselves of the New Marriage Act, and to have their marriages celebrated by their own ministers in their chapels. ACCIDENTS ON' THE LANCASHIRE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—On Wednesday last a dreadful accident occurred on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway line, at the cutting through a large bill upon the Shap Fells, Westmoreland. A portion of the rock had been charged with gunpowder, for the purpose of blasting, when, from seme cause or other, the charge would not explode, and two of the workmen returned to it and commenced drilling the stone, to draw out the powder. In doing this they had unfortunately neglected to pour into the hole a sufficient quantity of water to keep the stone moist, and :he consegieac• Was thit the jumper became heated from the friction, and ignited the powder. 'One of the poor fellewsw; blown into the air a height of thirty or forty feet, and came down upon a heap of stones ; after which he rolled into a gullet twelve feet in depth ; and the other, by the force of the blast, was driven to a considerable distance. 'The unfortunate men did net exhibit any signs of life trail medical assistance was ob tained, when they partly revived. The injuries, however, are of such a description that there is not the leapt possible change of their recovery. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A STEAMER.—On Sun day morning the Erith, a Gravesend and Erith steamer, Cap tain Warren, left Hungerford-marks t with • large number of persons. When opposite the Ferry House, the larboard paddle • wheel suddenly broke, tearing up the boards on the top of the paddle-box. Mr. Langton, one of the proprieto a of the vessel, and, another gentleman, who were standing on the paddle•box had a narrow escal e, being precipitated into the paddle-box, but fortunately they clung to the railing that surrounds the paddle-box. The alarm of the numerous passengers was great, and the screams of the females were distinctly heard at the piers at Woolwich. To make the matter worse, the Emerald, Gravesend steamer, belonging to the Diamond Company, which was close astern of the Erith, in coming alongside to render assistance, came with some force against the Erith, re newing the alarm of the passengers. Some of them were em barked on board the Emerald ; others were taken off in the watermen's boats, which crowded round as soon as the acci dent was known. A few remained on board the Erith, which was towed to the Watermen's Pier by the steamer Waterman, No. 4, where the proprietor of the vessel, Mr. Langton, re turned them their fares. Fortunately ne person was injured. DEVONPORT, AUG. 30.—The port of Devonport, after a long struggle, has obtained the grant of sufferance quays, which has passed the Lords of the Treasury. Formerly all foreign goods had to be landed at Plymouth, where the Custom-house is situated, but these may now be unloaded at Devonpert, and delivered to the consignees. The circum stance is looked upon by the inhabitants of the latter borough as of great importance to its commercial progress.

A FEMALE FOUND DROWNED.—On Monday morn ing, about half -past six o'clock, the body of a female, appa rently about nineteen to twenty years of age, was discovered by two labourers lying in the City Canal, just opposite Raw ling', wharf, St. Pancras.. The body, from its general appear ance, must have lain in the water for some length of time. The body has not yet been recognised. CAUTION TO REAPSIIS.—Mr. Williams, of Crin dau, a few days since, employed some reapers to cut wheat, and found, at the beginning of their work, that they were good hands at the sickle. When, however, after some interval, he again went to see how they got on, he olsefrved they were propoise gathering d th up at what on very thhtree carelessly, and remonstrated, to which they only re pl ie d b y i nsu l ts.

AY r MORNING , HER -MAJESTY'S - -VISIT TO tilL ONTXNENT. fe. - OAXE GOTHA, Aua. 29.—The royal party left Rein hardiebrunn between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon of yesterday Gotha, where great preparations had been made to welcome them. Coburg is situate in the midst of a rich and fertile valley ) kaki! lied *dtsb tarp piik. Gotha rises from f plain,*hich has been rendered pro ductive frill covered with earn-fields by the labour of an buegs,i residence oe i s of a sort e,oo r of litmclaltriciettuy, popula ti on. looks ti lees Lik e l th e e Cil It is more a seat of manefeteret and commercial industry. The leeptilition is greater by some 5,000 or 6,00 t persons. There is, too, a sort of middle class here, which you di not find at Coburg, at least not to the same extent. But it is et stated periods the residence of the tIC tithe s of the reign ing family. Thera are no less than four or five palaces ; but here they are in the town, while at Coburg they are situated at different points in the neighbourhood favourable for commanding the euperior scenery with which it abounds. The largest palace is the Friedrich stein, an immense pile of building, irregular, and with no pretensions to architecturalsymmetry, but surmounted by two enormous mosque-like towers, which ale promi nent objects for miles around: There is another palace, called Friedrichethel, much smaller, and facing the other. A very beautiful garden, or, more properly speaking, a richly wooded park, interspersed with lawns and flow( r beds, surrounds the former. Like all other places of the kind in this part of the country, it is not shut in with jealous care from the public. There are no gates, fences, or sentries to exclude them ; but all are free to come and go as they will. An open carriage -road, in fact, runs through the most carefully preserved parts of the grounds. There is also a magnificent orangery. One or two smaller palaces are also in Gotha, occupied et intervals by different members of the Ducal family. The widow of the late Duke, and of the preceding one, have each a residence in these palaces. The city itself is larger than Coburg, but similar in its general construction. The houses in the chief streets are on a very large scale, and the main streets them selves are much broader than is usual in continental towns of the same antiquity. The market-place, which is laid out on a rather steep declivity, is a particularly fine one. There is a handsome theatre and a museum; and there are other public buildings which will bear competition with those in cities of much larger size and greater pretensions. The preparations made to welcome the Queen and Prince Albert were very general throughout the town. Almost every house was festooned or garlanded, and that in a very tasteful way. That they were not similar to those at Coburg seemed to show that they were in both places spontaneous offerings of welcome, and not suggested by the authorities. At the entrance of the city, from the side of Reinhardtsbrunn a very elegant triumphal arch was erected, and the long street leading from this point to the palace in which the Queen was to take up her abode, was one long avenue of festoons and garlands sus pended across the road from the lines of trees on each side of the way. The street was lined by a body of the gensurmes. As the hour at which the royal party were expected came on, the population of Gothaand the neighbourhood began to throng the streets in multitudes. It was sur prising how so comparatively small a place could yield so many people ; but, in fact, it was a general h o lid ay , and every man, woman, and child carne eut to see the sight. And a most picturesque croed they made. The peasant girls from the s urrounding vi;lages, many of . them beauties of which any country might be proud, intermingled in the throng with their antique and picturesque costumes, long since abandoned in the towns, but clung to by the villagers with rustic tenacity. We have nothing in our cowl ' try like their bead-dresses, but they are certainly more quaint and elaborate than graceful. The head is sur mounted by a tower of black velvet, silk, or stuff, ac cording to the taste or means of the wearer, which is shaped like an infantry soldier's cap. This again is covered with short sable plumage slightly curled ; and from the top falls a shower of long black silk ribands reaching below the waist. A . dozen or two of the se women walking together reminded one of the top of a hearse. Others of the peasant wome n wore less ambi tious coiffures; but then they had larg e cloa ks o f v arious colours thrown over the left shoulder a f ter t h e Spanish wore very characteristic fashion. The men, too, dresses. Some stalked slang in lock black coats, like priests' soutans, and boots fitting tight to the leg up to the knee. The costume of the miners, too, was very peculiar. These odd costumes mingling in the throng, with the uniforms of the soldiery, huntsmen, postilions, and others who were there, produced a very pretty effect ; nor were the gay colours in which the city damsels decked themselves without their use in keeping up the ever-changing variety. The great centre of attraction, and where the throng of people was most constant, was the triumphal arch already described. Here the chief municipal authorities of Gotha were assembled in a sort of tribune to receive the royal visitors on their arrival within the boundary of the city. Shortly before six o'clock a succession of salutes an nounced the approach of the royal co , tege, and a band, stationed opposite the arch, struck up the National An them in very good style. In a few minutes the head of the procession—fur a procession it was, and a very fine one—was seen moving among the living mass that crowded the road. First came a large body of the municipal police on horseback. They are a half military body, and have a very soldierly appear ance. Then came, also on horseback, the burgher guard, not quite so soldierlike. Next, a party of the mounted gendsarmes, and after them a band of the pos tilions in their gay dresses. A body of some 200 or 300 citizens and gentlemen of the town, excellently mounted, followed, and then the Duke's chasseurs, all in uniforms of green and gold. After these came the Queen's carriage, containing, besides her Majesty, the King and Queen of the Belgians and Prince Albert. The Duke of Saxe Coburg rode on horseback by the carriage from Reinhardtsbrunn. Two other carriages, with the suite, closed the procession. When the:Queen's carriage came opposite the tribune, the chief magistrate stepped forward and delivered a speech, of which the following is a translation : " Happy in the consc iousn ess of the presence of your Majesty in our city, we lay our humble s t an d mos t heart felt devotions at the feet of the Sovereign of the great British empire. Happy we are that the kind and natural sympathies of the mother and the wife have never lost their intensity amidst the splendours of the greatest throne in the world. To those sympathies we are in debted for the incomparable satisfaction we feel en this occasion. Welcome to the home 01 a beloved Prince of our House. Welcotne as his consort, 0 mightie t, and at the same time most amiable of Queens f Little are we able to convey to your Majesty our unfeigned deep felt joy at welcoming such illustrio us gues t s t o our uu pretending town. Still, however far we could have carried the outward sh' wing of our attachment, it never could have equalled our desire to offer homage and best love to Victoria Queen of Britain !" Her Majesty bowed very graciously, and the co , lege then passed on, amidst deafening cheers from the people, to the palace of the Duchess of Saxe Coburg, where they arc to stay. Crowds of people lined the Way, and filled the area opposite the palace. After alighting, her Majeety came forward and bowed re peatedly to the people. Altogether this reception at Gotha was as good as any the Queen has met with on her various journeys, and exactly the same in form as most of them. There are to be se veral g r and displays here during the next few days, which promis e t o b e very charac teristicand new, in their way, ,to of the h Queen. Both her M a j es ty an d th e P r i nce are in excellent health. te mannerseo. of the people, COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, accompanied by their Serene Highnesses the Princesses Anna and Amelie of Sax e w e i ma r, left her residence, Bushy House, Bushy-park, in a carrige and four, yesterday morning, for town, and arrived at Marlbor oug h House a t half past eleven o'clock. Her Majesty and the Princesses left town in the afternoon, on their return to Bushy. park. His Excellency Louis M•Lsne, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States, has removed from Thomas's Hotel to 38, Harley-street, Ca vendish-square. • MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The sun of Last Night.) A large business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yester day, the sales being fully 10,000 bales, of which 4,000 were d • 150 sold at 3d. to 3ILAcI. • 200 M a ranham, 5 • I ernams, at on speculation. There was a fair quan tit y on offer. 500 Surat 6 1 4 d. to 6 3 / t d.; 400 Egyptian, at 6 tAicl. to 9d. ; and the rest There are no ship arrivals to-day, American, at 3 3 / 4 d. to 6 1 4c1. —A large b usiness was done in Shares, at full prices. nor is anything of in terest Liverpool a for a t r h e t o d übee ve ry defective, if we may trade at stirring. p rosecution of the timber judge by the following communication from the outport, in which also are contained some interesting particulars rela tive to the general state of the market :—Since the 18th instant, the arrivals have been limited, say only six vessels, 3,470 tons, And the sales, in like manner, limited to a few cargoes, the attention of all parties being turned to the re moval from the quay of the timber which had been heaped on it in the utmost confusion. The relaxation of the pressure in the discharging for the last few days, has enabled the quays to be somewhat relieved, and it is hoped that the dock Committee will take the present opportunity, in compliance with the application of the majority of the importers and timber-merchants, of making such arrangements as will pre vent a recurrence of such a state of things as has been expe rienced during the last four weeks, and which has caused a great loss of property, severe loss by fines, and a greater de clension in the market than, under other circumstances, would have taken place. This confusion is attributable to the following causes, .—The discharging without being confined to a spec ified berth or space ; the working of sufferance from daylight to dark, without also applying an equal amount of force to remove the timber so discharged, and the mixing of cargoes with each other, which renders the identification of timber very difficult, prevents its being effectually worked at ; and as the present system obliges the work to be carried on throughout the night (which is contrary to reason and the usage of any other trade) fraud is very much facilitated, and at such time many logs are stolen off the quay. If, however, the request of the im porters and timber merchants be acted on, a remedy may be applied, as far as the present system will admit of ; the im porter will be able to identify his propert , y, the buyer will have the opp or t un i ty of see i n g it connectedly, and removing it effectively ; th e c us tom -house officer will be facilitated in his duty, and the ship in future will always have a defined place to be discharging into, without encroaching on another's berth, and throwing all into confusion. At the present moment the quays are covered with timber, dis charged oat of ships which are more than a week at sea, much of it not yet measured by the Customs. When the quays are thus regulated, a steadier market and better prices will be the consequence. From the great delay the ships have experienced on tea other side, joined to long passages home, the num ber of . second voyage ships i s muc h l ess than usual : and this market Will probably not have the overwhelming import from g If, PTEM BE R 3, _ . Canada that was first anticipated; in such case better prices may be expected for the full fleet.

A Forest of Dean Correspondent informs us that" the coal trade is very brisk in the forest, not an able-bodied man being out of work, and the prospect of next winter is that coal will not be had for money, to furnish a supply for the demand."— Gloucester Journal. IMPROVEMENTS, &C., or PUBLIC EDIFICES. — Workmen are at present engaged in painting the outer iron gallery at the top of the cupola of St. Paul's Cathedral ; it is done in stone colour, and has a very good effect. At the British Museum work men are employed in levelling the dead wall and antique gateway, dm. to throw the front open. NARRow ESCAPE.—On Sunday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, as a lady and gentleman were driving along Ray-street, Clerkenwell, in their gig, the horse suddenly stumbled and fell, ansl both the lady and gentleman were thrown out with sor,siderable force to the ground. The female, from the suddenness of the shock, was precipitated clean over the horse's head to the atones in the road, but most extra ordinarily and fortunately sustained no apparent injury. She had barely time to rise, when the horse ( which was a high spirited one) kicked and plunged about violently, and it was with the greatest difficulty on the part of some persons who promptly rend ere d th e i r ass i stance , t h a t t h e animal was pre vented from doing serious damage ; as it was, the shafts of the gig were broken off, and the gig otherwise damaged. It was a most fortunate escape for the occupants of the gig, as it was the greatest wonder they were not loth killed in eon/mimeo of the sudden manner they were thrown art of the gig. 1845. sp o ,,T r4vr ELLIGENCE.
