In There has been just announced another project for the for ation of a railway in the Rost Indies, to go from Calcutta to Georgian Point, on the River Hoogly.

The numbers of Sheep were but mode rate. The best half-breds sold steadily. With other breeds, the trade was inactive. In prices, we can notice no altera tion.

(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) HODGSON V. COOKE. In this case the party was summoned to show cause wby he did not pay a judgment debt and costs. Mr. LLOYD took an objection to the summons on the ground that, according to the particulars of the plaintiff's demand, the name, address, and place of business, was not fully set out. The name was merely in initials, and no ad dress added. Mr. Lloyd contended that the 20th Rule of Court had not been complied with ; and, inasmuch as the particulars of demand were irregular, the summons must also be irregular. Mr. BucHANAN, for the plaintiff, admitted the rule, but the Act of Parliament was altogether silent upon the subject. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD said the Court must be bound by the rules ; he therefore held the objection to be fatal, and dismissed the petition. Mr. LLOYD then applied for costs, but the Court declined to giant them. RANELAGH SUSPENSION BRIDGE A Company has been brought forward for the construe- tion of a bridge across the Thames, from a point between Chelsea Hospital and the Grosvernor Canal, to the Surrey shore near the Red House, at Battersea. The necessity of such a structure, as a public work, is now very generally admitted, a...d the distance between Vauxhall and Batter sea bridges is very great, and includes an immense mass of buildings and a large population. The Commissioners of Metropolitan Improvements, indeed, in their plans accom panying their report to the House of Commons, on proposed improvements in this district, have laid down roads, appa rently with the express view of leading to a communication with the Surrey side of the river, at the point proposed by the promoters of the Ranelagh Bridge. The proposed bridge is intended to be upon the suspension principle. Instead of the old plan of erecting two piers in the waterway, supporting a centre chain of great span, there wall be only one pier in the river, midway between the two shores. and a great saving will consequently be effected in pile driving, masonry, &c. ; whilst the two chains will not be of any considerable length, and consequently, as the strain will be less, they may either be made to bear a greater weight, or they may be safely constructed with a smaller quantity of iron than under the old system. The arrange ment of the structure, although very simple and obvious, is, we believe, entirely novel, and is worthy of the rising repu tation of the engineer, Mr. Bird. The expenses for ap proaches will be very trifling. On the Middlesex side there is very little to be done, and such property ai it will be necessary to purchase on either side of the river is vacant, and of comparatively little value, and consequently, the item of compensations, usually so large in concerns of this nature, cannot in any event amount to any considerable sum, especially as all the parties are favourable to the undertaking, on account of the great increase which it will create in the value of all property in the locality. The capital proposed is 90,000/. which is sufficient to pro vide amply for the whole of the works to be executed and for every necessary expense, particularly as there is no pros pect of any Parliamentary opposition. To a very considerable population it will afford peculiar conveniences, and look ing at the immense district for which it will provide increased accommodation, we have no doubt the concern will yield very ample returns on the capital engaged in it. Ac cording to the best calculations, based upon the returns of the neighbouring bridges, the tolls will not be less than 8,0007., being about nine per cent. upo n the proposed capital, part of which may very probably not be required.. The tolls will be so much clear profit, as the out-goings after the com pletion of the bridge will be very small, and will be met by the dues arising from a steam-boat pier in the centre of the river, which forms part of the project. On the development of the traffic under the cheap toll system, the produce will probably amount to a much larger sum. It is a most important advantage for the scheme that it has the approval and support, not only of the owners of property affected, but also of the Lords Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, and in consequence of the safe passage of the Com pany's Bill through Parliament may be looked forward to as certain. In conclusion, we must observe, that whilst the works will be constructed on perfectly safe and substantial principles, the capital is very small in proportion to the pro bable dividends to be derived from the undertaking, and we can confidently recommend it to such of our readers as may be looking out for a solid, remunerative, and permanent in vestment.—Railway Times. o o f p d u t S t a i w A i f l r b e ed allowedD a y p o t n o a r m es , ul t t h s at a w, fs j e t s r e l i v i i d tn i n e s the g ß t u h e e k e e v n i b l steer her in this, and then her backers may look to her being handy at the finish. Cowl pays, I believe, in his match with Vaudeville. In the four matches which follow, I should take Poor Soldier in preference to Hemp, Sorella to Cataract, The Cob to Oakley (as he has very great speed for a mile, as was displayed in his race for the Hunt Cup at Ascot, and in his match with the Cure), and Sir Frances to Britannia. -On Wednesday there is only a Sweepstakes of 200 soya. between Comrade, Vaudeville, and Prolouge, and a match between Celia and Espoir set down; but the list will, no doubt, be considerably , increased before the day.' The Sweep stakes look best for Vaudeville, and in the match I prefer Garryowen. On Thursday, in the Bretley, I think the Black Cat and Ennui will be found the best of the field. Lord Glasgow's colt, I imagine, will be beaten in each of his matches, certainly in that one between him and the Cobweb colt. On Friday most of the performers in the Clearwell will re appear when the bell is rung for the Prendergast, but as the running in the former will materially operate in the result of this race, I shall merely observe that as far as my judgment goes, Lord George's or Lord Chesterfield's is most likely to own the winner of the Prendergast. Five matches and, the Coffee-Room Stakes concludes the week's sport. In the first, between Miss Elis and Cinizelli, I like the former best. In the second, between Prolouge and Deodara, I recommend my friends to stand on the former. Thetbird, between My Mary and Vaudeville, should be won by the former. Ido not think in the next, which is between Comrade and The Slane colt, that the latter has a chance; nor in the last, between old Oakley and Hartshorn, would I stand on the former. London, 11th Oct., 1845. TELEGRAPH. IN RE FOSTER. William Emerson Foster, of Enfield-wasb, shopkeeper, sp ied fur his interim order, and was supported by Mr. T. B. Hughes. Mr. BUCHANAN opposed, on the ground that he had re ceived a large sum of money. The insolvent, in examination, admitted that he had re ceived 3001. under his sister's will, about two years ago, and that, at the present time, he was postmaster at Enfield. Mr. BUCHANAN trusted the Court would direct the insol vent to put aside a small sum annually in gradual payment of his debts. The insolvent declared he was unable to pay any sum. The Court eventually granted the interim order, and named a day for the final order. MARLBOROU GH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) An elderly foreigner, said to be a Pole, who was de scribed in the police charge-sheet as Count Yaxe Dembicke, residing at No. 16, Prince's-street, Leicester-square, was charged with disorderly conduct in the Bavarian-chapel, in Warwick-street, Regent-street, and disturbing the congrega tion. The defendant was dressed in a sort of foreign military style, and wore on his breast several medals and crosses. Barnabus Flask, police-constable, 28 C, stated that about half-past nine o'clock, yesterday morning, he was sent for to the Bavarian-chapel, and took the prisoner into custody, at the direction of the Rev. D. Maguire, the chaplain, on the charge cf having placed himself on the steps of the altar, where none of the congregation are allowed, and refusing to retire when required, which, causing an altercation, the per formance of divine service was interrupted, and the congre gation greatly disturbed. Mr. HARDWICK inquired if the Rev. Mr. Maguire was in attendance? The constable replied in the negative. Mr. llAnDwrcx asked the defendant why he disturbed the congregation ? A gentleman stood forward, and said the defendant could not speak English. He was a Roman Catholic, and his con duct arose rather from religious zeal. It was not the inten tion of the Rev. Mr. Maguire or the authorities of the chapel to appear against him. Mr. HARDWICK said in that case the prisoner might be discharged, and he was accordingly liberated. DEATH Or SIR CHARLES ROWLEY, BART.- PORTS3IOUTIT, Oar. 12.—We regret to announce the death of Admiral of the White Sir Charles Rowley, Bart., G.C.B. G.C.IL, late Commander-in-Chief at this port. The de. ceased had been suffering for many years from illness, which confined Mtn to his residence during the greater .portion of the time he presided over this port as Commander-in - Chief. A man more deeply respected in the service, or one more distinguished in it, does not remain upon the list. lie was 56 years a commissioned officer, having been made a Lieu tenant in October, 1789; Captain, the Ist of August, 1795 Rear-Admiral, the 4th of June, 1814; Vice-Admiral, 27th of May, 1825 ; Admiral, the 23d of November, iB4). The gallant deceased was a most indefatig able cruiser during the war. He commanded the Eagle, and formed part of the squadron under Sir Sidney Smith in his active operations on the coast of Italy, including the capture of Capri, defence of Gaieta, (where he was wounded) &c., in 1806, the Wal cheren expedition in 1809, and siege of Cadiz in 1810. He distinguished himself in the Adriatic at the capture of Fiume, Trieste, and all the principal fortresses and islands in that sea, in 1812 and 1813. Since thewar he commanded the Bulwark, of 74 guns, and was Commander-in-Chief on the Jamaica station in 1820. He was appointed to the chief command at this port on the 26th of December, 1842, but front increasing debility was compelled to resign his post in September last, upwards of three months before his period of service would have expired. He died on Friday at Brigh ton, where he had latterly removed for change of air. Lieu tenant-Colonel Rowley, late of the Coldstream Guards, is the eldest son of the deceased; Captain R. F. Rowley, of the St. Vincent, 120, flag-ship of the expe rimental squadron,) is the second son ; and Commander Rowley, of the Satelite, 18, (in the River Plate,) third son of the gallant deceased. Colonel Rowley succeeds to the baronetcy. Mr. Lumley, director of her Majesty's Theatre, left Paris on Friday for Italy, with a view to import the novel celehrites who have recently sprung up in the operatic world. On Tuesday next (to-morrow) the new district church of the Holy Trinity, in the parish of St. Ebbe, in this city, will be consecrated by the Bishop of Oxford.—Oxford Journal.

TUNBRIDGE WELLS, BRIGHTON, AND HASTINGS JUNCTION.—This is a most excellently . conceived plan. The great thing with junction lines now is to embrace a wide area, and achieve the object at the least expense possible. To do this there must be good surveying, good engineering, and good judgment, as to which way the railway is to throw out its arms, so as, in fact, to embrace the whole district. We write at the moment from recollection, both of the pros pectus and the locality, but of this we are sure—that through such a country two Siamese lines, if we may use the phrase, 25 I the Brighton and Tunbridge Wells 22 miles, and the Hest 12N ings and Tunbridge Wells 26 miles—must succeed and pay. As we have said before, this comes of good surveying and good engineering.—(From the London Mercantile Journal, of October 7, 1845.) THE TUNBRIDGE WELLS, BRIGHTON, AND HAST 'Nos JUNCTION RAILWAY.—This is the title of a new project for making a direct railway from Tunbridge Wells to Brigh ton on the one hand, and to Hastings on the other, thus giving to the inhabitants of the latter town, in addition to the rapid means of exchanging courtesies with its fashionable, rivals, the great advantage of the most direct line of com munication with the metropolis by a junction with the pro posed direct line from London to Tunbridge Wells. Of the many new schemes at present before the public, this appears to be peculiarly worthy of favourable consideration, inasmuch as it is not only in accordance with the direct principle, but at the same time that it adopts this most rational principle of a % great public highways, carries it out consistently w ith sup , plying, throughout the entire district traversed by th e pro = jected lines, accommodation to one of the richest and most populous portions of the country. The line from Tunbrid ge Wells to Hastings will be about twenty-six miles in length, and in its course will touch the towns of Frant, Wadhurst, Lamberhurst, Etchingham, Hurst Green, Robertsbridee, Whatlington, and Battle, its proposed terminus being at the western extremity of Restings;. It is also proposed, we 6 1 4 understand, to extend the advantages of this line to the inba -1% bitants of Winchelsea andßye, by a branch from a point near Battle. By a glance at a map it cannot fail to be perceived. that, by formation of this line, at a point taking up the course of the direct line about to be made from London to Tunbridge Wells, there will be completed a continuous rail way to Hastings, which, when its proposed harbour and docks are constructed, must become The most convenient packet station in the Channel, on the route to Paris, by Dieppe and Rouen. This Company's Brighton line will, we observe, take a direct course, passing Mavfield, Rotherfield, Ucktield, Little Ilorsted, to Lewes, where it will unite with the line from that town to Brighton—its length being about twenty-two miles. That the whole project of the company is a good one there can be no question.—Railway Paper. LONDON AND DUBLIN APPROXIMATION RAILWAY.—The prospectus of this Company will be found in our advertising; columns of this day, and we can scarcely do our railroad readers a greater service than to point out the principal features which distinguish this line from others which daily appear in the public journals. The importance of a direst line of communication from London to Holyhead, has lout!: occupied the public attention ; the benefits that would I • derived from such a ready mode of communication it is almost needless to dwell upon, and the undertaking front this circumstance alone has excited a very general interest throughout the country. The difficulties of overcoming the . natural obstacles of a mpuntainous country, such as are pre • seated by the northern portion of the Principality, have hitherto appeared of no ordinary character, and have been. deemed by many well-informed and practical persons almost insuperable. The achievements of science, however, aide, by the industry of man, have rendered this bold and enter - prising project not only feasible, but comparatively easy to ba - accomplished ; and we rejoice to find that the schema for attaining this very desirable object is supported by one of the most influential committees we have ever seen appended to a prospectus. Mr. Rastrick is the engineer, - a gentleman of undoubted talent and established reputation. - and we have the greatest confidence in his selection of the - line, and the ability with which it will be carried out. It is 4,, to be observed that this is wholly independent of any other line, and as it is designed for public convenience, it is entitled _ to public support. The saving of the distance between the two capitals of England and Ireland will be between sixty and seventy miles, and, in point of time, at least of two miles. The delays upon the route will be less frequent than upon the existing lines, which, from their crowded state, often occasion interruptions to travellers from • necessary stoppages. Accidents, in all likelihood, will be fewer from the same cause, and there is little doubt that all the pas senger trafficto and from Ireland will be secured to the Com pany. There must also be a very large portion of mer chandise and stock constantly passing along the line. This. in addition to the former, must prove a source of great profit to the shareholders. The facilities afforded to the merchant and trader, in the transit of goods of every description, will secure to this Company an immense revenue from their car riage alone. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The first operatic no velty of the season will be produced on Thursday, affording every possible facility to the advancement of native talent. The opera in question, The Fairy Oak, is written by Mr. Henry Coe Coape, a gentleman of fortune and station, con nected, we believe, with the theatre, and its music is corn posed by Mr. Forbes, recently the director of the Societe Harmonica Concerts. The new ballet of The Marble .M'aiden is attracting the attention of the whole town, and bringing enormous half-prices, and is a work, the beauty of which can not be too highly extolled. MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL.—We are re quested to state that " The Attractive Man, a Novel," by Mrs. Trollope, in 3 vols., is published this day by Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough-street, and may now be had at all the libraries. Mr. Colburn has also just published the following new works of fiction :-2. Love and Mesmerism, by Horace Smith, Esq., author of " Brambletye House," &c., 3 vols.-- 3.

The Hon. Member, however, insisted upon the unquestionable right of the meritorious and helpless poor to ample support and every possible protection. In , conclusion, he pledged himself to oppose the district asylums upon every occasion, and when he could. THE IRON TRADE.—DUDLEY, SATURDAY.—TbI last of the quarterly meetings of ironmasters of this district was held in Dudley to-day, when the prices determined upon at Birmingham on Thursday were fully confirmed. Some of the masters were inclined to make a further advance, but the more prudent resolved to abide by the present rate of pricer. It appeared to be a general opinion that if a further advance took place the miners and ironmen would require a corn sponding advance of wages, and, taking all matters into eon sideration, that such a proceeding would be decidedly in jurious to the home trade dependent upon the iron manufac ture. The following may be quoted as the prices now fixed Bars, 101.; sheets, 111. 10s., hoops 101. 10s., at the work; being 40s. higher than those established at the last quar ter day, and 20s. higher than those fixed at Wolverhamp ton a fortnight ago. SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION.—Mr. Hartwey, who bus for some years been employed by the Horticultural Society in making collections for their gardens, at Mexico and Gua temala, has just been sent out to California, which was ex plored fo'r the same purpose some years since by the late Mr. Douglas. The fate of this last traveller was very tragical, for on his return home by way of Sandwich Islands, he there fell into a pit dug fot catching wild bulls, in which. there happened to be one, when the infuriated animal gored him to death. I SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) The first of the October Meetings can hardly be said to be an improvethent on its predecessors, although one or two of the races set down to be run in it were productive of great speculation and exciting interest. The fields in most in stances were short, owing to the superior attractions of the programme for next week. The good effects of Lord George's taking office were visible by the introduction of the telegraph and the addition of the jockeys' names to the list. Several other improvements of a minor nature were carried into effect; and if the two stands are erected, which are contemp lated, a new el a in Newmarket history may be said to have taken place from the date of his Lordship's stewardship. Scarcely any of the Goodwood horses were fit; and it is to be hoped that the lot they send for the Cesarewitch will be a little more prepared, or their backers' chances will be hopeless. On Wednesnd.ay the Old Trial Stakes actually produced a race, and Oakley put the valuable sum of twenty sovereigns into the pocket of his noble owner with the greatest ease. We then had the first of the Great Two Year-old Stakes ofthe season, viz. the Hopeful, for which only three animals were found at their post, and although they bet as little as 9 to 4 against Cuckoo, she was beaten in a canter, by a mare that has been running all over the country and that was not trusted even with a Ever. The general impression on the heath was, that Inc was amiss, mid I am inclined to coincide in the opinion. Next came the race of the meeting, the Grand Duke Michael, and the interest it excited was as great as ever. The old admirers of Idas still stuck to him with confidence, and his enemies were equally active in their operations against him. The race was entirely a match between the Turquoise colt and the favourite, who, to the dismay of his backers, was beaten on the p os t by a head. The public ought by this time to be acquainted that a gamer animal than Lord Lonsdale's colt never stepped upon Newmarket-heath. In the Buckenham Stakes, which followed, Colonel Peel pulled out Samphire instead of Queen Anne, and the altera tion did not impair his luck, as she won by a head. Her success, however, is not to be attributed so much to herself as to Mr. Wreford having foolishly put up Alfred Day, in stead of old Sam, who would have been able to have made a better finish with Nat than his young relative., In the match which concluded this day's sport the favourite just won, and that was all. The Gallant Member for West minster's talent in matchmaking was, however, not dis graced by the result. In the evening a little business was done on the Cesare witch, Wee Pet being most in demand. On Wednesday we were gratified and surprised by a dead heat for the sweepstakes, which actually gave us three races for the day. In the St. Leger the Turquoise colt again followed up his success of the day before, and beat the winner of the Oaks, with 5t04 on her, by five lengths. As she was only taken out of the van ten minutes before the race her defeat did not surprise me. It is worthy of remark, that out of the immense number of horses now at Newmarket eight only came out to-day. On Thursday we had a capital day's sport, and every body was satisfied. The Town Plate was won by Longitude, from two very middling animals, and her stable companion, Green Pea, by Nat's fine riding, just contrived to secure the Rutland for his noble owner. I thought Buttress was much improved since I saw her last. The Sweepstakes of 5 sovs , for two years old, brought three to the post ; and as the sum they contended for was so large, and the spirit with which they contested it was so remarkable, I shall put down their names here. The trio were Lord Albemarle's Nell Cook, Lord George Bentinck's Astern, and Mr. Bloss's Zarah. The race was won by a head ; and after the expenses of entries and jockey, put into the pocket of Lord Albemarle five golden sovereigns. Who will, after this, deny to these noblemen the credit of being lovers of racing? In the 50 sovs. Stakes, Idas, with 61b extra, finished two lengths in advance of three others, whom, if he had not beaten, he ought to have been boiled. Many think he won by making a waiting race of it, but I am of opinion he could have won any how. The match between Collingwood and Captain Phoebus was won somewhat more easily than the one on Tuesday. The latter was, as usual, the favourite. The Queen's Plate, the last on the list, was won by the Boarding-school Miss, from Event, Longitude, and Prairie. The ring naturally patronised the Goodwood mare, and were much surprised at seeing the Miss winning over a course deemed much too long for her. The second October Meeting takes place on Monday, and as the stables are full, there is every probability of a good meeting. On the first day, four sweepstakes are in the list, and a post match between Lord Glasgow and the Duke of Bedford, which, I think, will be won by the latter, with Prologue ; and also a post match between Lord Exeter and Lord Chesterfield, which will end, in my opinion, in favour of Lord Exeter, with his Woodpigeon, the conqueror of Idas at Ascot. Five other matches are set down, and will most likely be run, so that the appetite of the most racing gourmand will be gratified. The first is between Idas and the Liverpool colt, Bst 21b each, and will be won by the former, if there is any faith in public running. The next is between Black Cat and the Beiram filly, Bst 71b, T.Y.C., in which,l think, Mr. Clarke will give to the for mer. The one that follows is a most interesting one—it is between St. Lawrence,, 9st 11b, against Minotaur, Bst 101 b, and the latter, I imagine, will be found the best of the two. The one that follows is for the heavy stake of 5001., and between Alarm and Old England. As - Alarm has not run since his accident at Epsom, his re appearance will be looked forward to with some interest. That he can give Old England 51bs and beat him I much doubt, and shall, therefore, give my preference to the Stockbridge nag. In the one that concludes the day's sport, and which is between Captain Phoebus and Duc-an-Durras, or Duck and Green- pew, as he is designated, I lean to the former. On Tuesday the sport will commence with the Cesarewitch Stake, which, since its establishment has completely an swered the expectations of its founder. It has always been the most interesting race ran at Newmarket; may be almost compared to the Derby, from the field that it brings out, and the money invested upon it. Last year the winner of the Leger to the surprise of many of the oldest Newmarket stagers, pulled through by half a length, Lightning, the great pot of the Northern division, being beaten by him that distance. In accordance with my usual custom, I will now take to pieces the doings of those horses whose owners have de clared themselves satisfied with the handicapper's allotment The list of acceptances is headed by Mr. Surflen's Gorham bury, 5 yrs, who is assigned to carry Bst 121 b, but which I think he will not do, as he can hardly be said to have re covered from his recent break down, and is now on sale in Scotland. Should he go, however, I think, like the two next animals, Discord, Bst 91b, and Trueboy, Bst 91b, he will find the weight too muoh for him. Had Discord's running lately been on a par with his doings in the early part of the season at Northampton, his chance would have been a better one. The Duke of Richmond's Red Deer, Bst 21b, is very fairly matched, and as we know he can stay a distance, from his Bath and Chester running, he will, I have no doubt, if sent, run in front. Stomacher, Bst 21b, I should think would not go, for he has not been backed for a shilling. General Pol lock, ist 111 b, is an honest animal, game as a pebble, but not possessed of speed sufficient to live in front of the field in such a race as this, where a young one is certain to cut him down in the first mile. Lightning has so lost his running, that I cannot think he can get the place he did in the race last year, viz., the second. Rowena, 7st 101b,neverran a course the length of this with success to her owner. Her last doings were at Liverpool, where she ran second to Lothario for the Cup.. I now come to that old favourite of the ring, I-am-not- Aware, who for many years has been accustomed to run for this stake, with great profit to the bookmakers —once he ac tually ran third for it, viz., in Clarion's year, when be was within half a neck of the second horse, Bloomsbury. If the pace is not too good and the ground very . heavv, he may struggle on and get fourth or fifth. His weight (but it is al most unnecessary to mention it, for everybody knows what they put upon him) is 7st 81b. The cocktail lion of the spring, Intrepid, is, I conjecture, a different horse from what he was at Cecster, wl:ere, with 6sh 111 b, he carried off the Cup, and with 61b extra the stakes, at least ,we may conclude so from his running at Wolverhampton, where, with 7st 51b, he was not even placed for the Wolverhampton Stakes. His spring victories are to be attributed to the ground on which he was trained, being so very favourable to horses in that season of the year, Intrepid is still supported with sortie degree of confidence by everybody'sness oft l his former friends, but I cannot bear of him as a winner. summer, The i7e x m t ss that E i comes h ounder doingsm y eye l are mind ; suffice it to say, that, with s st 71b, she won the Good wood Stakes, from a field of twenty ttwo, and the following day, carrying 7st, the Cup, beati n g eleven others, being fresh in in lioness the only three years old, with the exception of Glencoe, that ever won that valuable prize. For the Stewards' Cup, the day a fter, although o fatigued by her severe work the t wo da y s previously, she yet continued to cut a good figure. Sh e was reserved for the Great Y or k s hire Stakes at York, for which race she 'VMS beaten by f course much four lengths by Miss Sarah. Game as she is, Ido not thinkit possible, with 7st 71 b, that she can be looked upon as a likel y winner. Vol-all• Vent is entitled to notice from having won the Newmarket Handicap, with 6st 41b, from I-am-not-Aivare and a. small field ; but as that was in the Craven Meeting, will be run, I cannot say much in favour of his chance. an d the distance a mile shorter than the one on which this There was a good deal of noise made about him for the Great Yorkshire Handicap for which he was drawn. He cut up badly too at Ascot. Of Pouissin, I shall merely observe he is a very moderate plater. Teetotaller has some running about him, for he won the Ascot Stakes from Iliona and a good field, but the company he has been running in lately has been so wretched that his success does him no very great credit. His weight, 7st 51b, will not stop him. Pantasa, I i mag ine, will not go. Mr. Clif ton's Paintbrush, from the Jereed man ner in which she has been backed, is entitled to som e notice. She is b y , and distinguished greatlyher swelefightb e lia in at Wolverhampton by carryi ng o ff th e Patshull gndsiscta3p.lbfro; manGdeonnertalhe following Not day, with sst 41b, t, Sat ; Cora nna , B s t 121 b ; Queen of the Gip sies, Bst 416; and Phili P, 7st 101 b, her own doings Nix-m y 7st;re a I do and not jaek hep imagine , Est 121 b. G oo d as th ese S she can a n give the weight to Egis, she won the Holy oake Stakes, beatin g A rthur, s st ; Hooton , 7 s t 11lb ; Lightning, 7st 91b ; Roderi c k, 7 s t 5 1b ; or Wee Pet. The chances of Ho p e, An nandale , Lady Wil dair, Alice, Metal , Planta g enet, Kesheng, Longitude, Laird o'Cockpen , Ruff, and The Cook, I l oo k upon as quite out. The extra weight u p on M y Mar y will stop her, and I think th e winner will t urn out to be Mr. Etwall's Egis. My rea sons for preferring her are, that sh e has shown herself ca pable of getting a lon g distanc e , is possessed of great trainedthe on spot, speed, is and is supported by a party whose judgment is rarely misplaced. As I consider The Baron, though en Irish horse, no Foig a-ballagb, / f anc y bis chance of 'winning most remote. Boarding-school Miss, in spite of her winning the Queen's Plate last week, will be tired long before the race is over, judging from her place in the Goodwood Stakes, in which, with est 31b, she was nowhere, and i n the Brighton S ta k es, for which she w as likewise beaten • by Pineapple and Jenny Wren. The last-named mare I consider to have the negt best chance in the race to iEgis, alid I ground my belief in her mei its from her running at Brighton, and Lichfield. Wee Pet's figure in the Leamington Stakes was very creditable to her, but then it insist be borne in mind that Roderick and Rochester had been a good deal knocked about previously. Had Pergularia not been so shamefully b eaten at L e i ces t er I should have th ou g ht well of his chance. Nottingham is well in, an d sure to be forward. In conclusion, I fully anticipate to see Egis or Jenny Wren the winner of this great handicap. Wee Pet, Nottingham, and Red Deer will not be far from these lots. th Aft er the excitmeen o e above eat race is over, we h a ve the Royal Stakes of 200 sov gr s., 4 subs, which look likely to be to a match between the ukes - ford an d Portland,reduced and won by th e f ormer nobleD man. of Bed Next come s the second of the Two Year-old Stakes, which are wont some times to bring out a Derby favourite. I expect to see at the post Princess Alice, Free Lance, Green Pea, Mecca colt, Collingwood, Cuckoo, Holloway, Cambaules, Deerchase, Sting, and Witsend. Of these, Sting's doings are immeasurably superior to any of the rest, and if he goes I do not see bow he can well lose; but everything depends upon a good start in a short scramble like this, and as Princess Alice is very quick on her legs, I am of opinion her chance is the next best to Lord Edward Russell's colt. Col lingwood's running in the last meeting must have damaged his prospects for this race. I have heard a good deal of 11,110ivap 1010 is said to be a tiler, mail none verro ns. I hope NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

The frequent complaints that are made of the defective arrangements on this line with respect to horses, the general want of punctuality in starting from and arrivini at the different stations, render a change of management in.. dispensable.

WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—Yesterday morning the Queen, at tended by . the Countess of Mount Edgcumbe, walked for some time in the pleasure-grounds adjacent to the Castle. In the afternoon her Majesty and Prince Albert rode out in a pony phaeton, his Royal Highness driving. The Hon. Misses Kerr and Napier followed in a pony carriage, and the Hon. C o lonel Grey attended on horseback. Prince Albert went out to shoot yesterday morning, accom panied by the Earl of Liverpool and Sir Robert Peel, and a ttended by Colonel Bouverie. His Royal Highness returned before one o'clock to the Castle. The Royal Family were prevented from taking their earl• I airings yesterday, owing to the unfavourable morning. The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken a carriage airing in the afternoon. His Royal Highness Prince George arrived yesterday on a visit to the Queen. The royal dinner circle yesterday included her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, the Baroness de Speth, Colonel Sir George Couper, La Marquise d'Harcourt, and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Harcourt. The band of the 2d Life Guards attended during dinner. Her Majesty's private band afterwards attended, and per formed the remainder of the evening. Mr. G. E. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson returned to the Castle last evening from Milford Hall. This morning early her Majesty and Prince Albert, accom panied by Prince George, walked in the grounds around the Castle and the Home Park, returning in a pony carriage to the Castle. The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken on their ponies for airings this morning. Her Majesty, and Prince Albert and Prince George, attended Divine Service in the private chapel of the Castle this morn ing, with the ladies and gentlemen of the Court, and the domestic household. The holy communion was afterwards administered. The Hon. and Rev. Charles Leslie Courtenay officiated. Sir David Davies has arrived at his residence in Berkeley street, from the residence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager, Willey Court, Worcestershire. The Rev. the Sub-Dean preached the sermon yesterday in the Chapel Royal, St. - James's. Lord and Lady Ernest Bruce and Lord George Paulet were among the nobility present. THE LATE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.-Pro ceedings have been commenced by Caunt against the stake holder in this fight, to recover back his stake of 2001. The action will be tried in the Court of Exchequer next term. VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY.-It is understood that her Majesty will pay her long expected visit to the Marquis of Salisbury, at Hatfield House, about the 11th or 12th of the ensuing month. Pre parations for the visit have been making on a magnificent scale during the last few months. Thirty or forty German, Italian, and Frenchartists havebeen engaged in embellishing the principal apartments in the ancient and noble mansion of Hatfield.—Hertford Mercury. THE LATE AFFRAY AT HOUNSLOW BARRACKS.— ----- We understand that Quartermaster Thomas Tarlton, who was stabbed on Sunday week at Hounslow Barracks by Lieutenant Martin Francis Kerwan, continues gradually to recover, and that there is every reason to believe he will be able to attend the next examination before the magistrates at Brentford. Lieutenant Kerwan is still under arrest at Hounslow Barracks, and will continue so until he is again examined before the magistrates. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.- An accident occurred on the above line on Thursday nigh near the Paddock station, between Maidstone and Tunbridge. It appears that about eight o'clock in the evening the usual signal was given on the train approaching within a short dis tance of the above station. The signal, however, was an swered by the exhibition of the wrong lights, and the coif sequence was, that the train came in violent collision with one of the engines which was lying upon the same rail. The crash was heard by the passengers, and, as may be imagined, created the utmost alarm among them. It fortunately, how ever, turned out that the only damage sustained was the partial destruction of the engine. ERUPTION OF MOUNT HECLA.—The Hamburgb Borsen Halle, of the 7th inst.., contains the following com munication from Copenhagen, under date of Oct. 4 :—" The English journals have already stated that the largest of the Orkney isles was, during a violent storm from the north west on the night of the 2d ult., covered with fine ashes, re sembling ground pumice-stone ; and that it was thought they had been driven by the wind from Mount Heels, in Iceland, as similar appearances had been observed during several years. We now learn that on the same or the follow ing night the crew of a vessel, bound to this port from llei kiavik, observed, whilst about eighteen English miles from land, volcanic flames on the southern coast of Iceland. On September 3, two vessels near the . Fawe Isles were also covered with ashes. According to letters which have been received here an earthquake occurred on the previous day in the west, north, and east portions of Iceland. More re cent intelligence has arrived from the southern part, and it appears that the eruption was a more violent one than any that had taken place there during the last sixty years. The latest accounts are of Sept. 15. They confirm the inte the ligence of a volcanic eruption in the southern part of_i e island on Sept. 2, the first since the memorable c7 that oltysthe i a i n h d occurred nineteen years ago. The extent of tbe t" and ashes is not yet known, but i t is asceartvaeinned ot been se populous districts adjacent to the volcanto snea r the mountains h riously injured, except that the grass plo were destroyed." Mrs. Fitzwilliam has just concluded a highly suc ces,fol engagement at the new theatre at Glasgow. It was her first visit there; the local press pronounce her to be one of the greatest favourites that ever appeared in that city. Her benefit on Friday evening was under the patronage of 1 the Lord Provost. She re-appears this evening at the Adelphi Theatre in "The Green Bushes," • WINDSOR ELECTION. Colonel Reid, of the 2d Life Guards, has issued an address to the electors, in which he states— " I am warmly and sincerely attached to our Protestant Church, and would firmly resist any measures that might appear to me calculated by possibility to weaken or injure that sacred and invaluable Establishment. " The care of the poor, the aged, and the helpless must ever be an object of deep interest to me ; and I should re joice in any practicable improvement of the Poor-law Amendment Act." Mr. Walter, of Bearwood, has also come forward, the following notice having been posted in Windsor on Satur day : "TO THE INDEP'ENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF NEW WINDSOR. " Gentlemen,—John Walter, Esq., of Bearwood, will come forward as a candidate for the representation of your borough, " Withhold, therefore, your promises, until Mr. Walter per sonally solicitsyour votes ; he is well known to you, and de serves your support, and will, doubtless, when he presents himself to your notice, receive your best " AN encourag.ement. ELECTOR. " Windsor, Oct. 11, 1845." There will be no canvassing, it appears, until after the funeral of Mr. Ramsbottom, which takes place on Wednes day, next. The election cannot take place until after the Ist of November. DEATH OF MR. JACKSON, THE CELEB AT ED PUGILIST. This celebrated character, whose fame as the greatest of Britist gladiators will render him immortal, died in his 77th year on Tuesday last, at his residence, No. 4, Lower Gros venor-street West. An attack of paralysis was the imme diate cause of death. Mr. Jackson was born in London, and was the son of the eminent builder by whom the arch was thrown over the old Fleet-ditch. The symmetry and muscular development of Mr. Jackson were perfect. His height was 5 ft. 11 inches, and his weight 14 stone. At the age of 19 he became a fre quenter of the sparring-schools. On the 9th of June, 1798, he fought his first public battle with Fustent, a Birmingham hero, and gallantly defeated him in the presence of George IV., then Prince of Wales, who ever after was Jackson's patron. Mr. Jackson's third and last battle was with the redoubtable Mendoza, whom he beat in 10} minutes, in the presence and to the gratification of the Duke of Hamilton and a vast number of noblemen and gentlemen. Indepen dent of his pugilistic superiority, Mr. Jackson was distin guished for his extraordinary powers as a runner for a short distance; and, as a leaper, no man of his day was equal to him at a standing jump. His muscular strength was equal to his body activity, and in the presence of Mr. Harvey Coombe, a never-shrinking advocate of the national sports of his countrymen, he lifted ten hundred weight and a quarter, and with 841 b. weight on his little finger wrote his own name ! Mr. Jackson, soon after defeating Mendoza, established a school at No. 13, Bond-street, not only for giving lessons to his numerous pupils, but for the introduction of such men as had either distinguished themselves in combat, or were desirous of seeking fame in the pugilistic arena. He received the encouragement of the Dukes of York and Clarence (Wil liam IV.), the Duke of Queensbury, Earls Albemarle and Sefton, Marquis of Worcester (present Duke of Beaufort), Marquis of Tweeddale, Lords Byron, Craven, Somerville, Barrymore, Fife, Sir W. W. Wynne, Colonel Berkeley (now Earl Fitzhardinge), Mr. Harvey Coombe, &c. After the coro nation of George IV., at which Mr. Jackson, and seventeen of the most distinguished prize-fighters of the day were em ployed, dressed as pages, to guard the entrance of Westmin ster-hall and Abbey, which they did most effectually, he re tired from public life, remaining still, however, the frequent companion of noblemen and gentlemen who felt desirous of maintaining the old national sport of boxing, and who, through him, distributed those rewards which the conduct of the exhibitants deserved. As a private associate, and " boon companion," his company was courted by men of the highest distinction. i Mr. Jackson was a man of great bene volence, proved by incessant charitable acts. In manner he was unassuming, and in language and demeanor a gentle man.

PLYMOUTH, Ocr. 10.—Wind breezy from N.W., veering towards S.W.—The experimental squadron, under command of Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, red at the mizen, entered Plymouth Sound on Friday night, and dropped anchor in the following order:—The Rodney, 92, Captain Collier, off the eastern arm of the breakwater, towards Staddon-heights ; the flag-ship, the St. Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley, next; then the Albion, 92, Captain N. Lockyer ; the Canopus, 84, Captain Moresby ; the Queen, 110, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker ; the Trafalgar, 120, Captain Martin ' • the Vanguard, 80, Captain Willis; and the brig Daring, 12, Commander Matson, which two last vessels lay oft the western arm of the breakwater, towards Mount Edgcmnbe. The Heroine, 10- gun brig, is also in the Sound. During the second trip, which commenced Sunday, the 28th ult., the fleet have not experienced any weather suffi ciently severe to test their sailing qualities under such cir cumstances. The same conflicting opinions as to their several qualities are still entertained by officers from different ships but the following remarks are from a good practical and dis• interested authority. The Queen, 110, is the best three decked ship under almost any circumstances, the only ex• ception being in very heavy weather, when she is beaten by the Trafalgar, 120. The Queen is always ahead when going free, and it is stated that the highest authority in the fleet speaks of her in the best terms. The Tra falgar, 120, is much improved since last in harbour; in very heavy weather she takes the lead, and during the last trip has thus been twice at the head of the fleet. The Rodney, 92, is superior to any of the two-deckers, and occasionally beats the whole squadron, except the Queen when going free. She is a good foul-weather ship. The Albion, 92, which had 50 tons of ballast taken out of her when in Plymouth Sound about a fortnight since, has thereby damaged her sailing qualities, and has thus lost the relative position she previously held in the fleet. The Canopus, 84, still holds her place, and the Vanguard, 80, has this trip done better than in the former. The Daring brig, 12, is, from her small tonnage and canvas, always left behind, except when on a wind under stormy stay-sails, in which case she drifts less, and is consequently ahead, followed by the Rodney, Queen, Albion, and the rest. A steam-tug, with letters, has been waiting in Plymouth Sound for the last two days, in expectation of the arrival of the Superb, 80, Captain Corry, from Portsmouth. It is stated that Admiral Pym expected the Superb off the Lizard on Friday morning, and in consequence of her non-arrival, hoisted a signal to prepare for anchoring, and eventually bore up for Plymouth Sound. On the arrival of the fleet at Plymouth it was currently reported there, that in consequence of the breechings of some of the Albion's lower deck guns having given way, that ship had lost several hands, the number of whom was variously stated at between 8 and 50. The only occasion, however, for hoisting the church pendant, on account of the death of a seaman, occurred about ten days' since during a heavy squall, when in shifting top sails one of the men fell from the yard and was drowned. The storm was too severe to risk the lives of a boat's crew. The life buoy was thrown overboard, and, in consequence of the severity of the weather, not reco vered. One man died on board the Canopus. He cut his throat on the Ist of October, and survived until Friday, the 10th, at three in the afternoon. He was bui ied off Whitsand Bay on the evening of the same day. It is expected that the fleet will go to sea again abou Tuesday, the 14th inst.
