C 07.2.7 ..71 X C ZA'iI7GM The past week's arrivals of English Wheat, Barley, Oats, Beans, and Flour have been, even the time of year cmisi dered, on a very moderate scale , but these of Peas have proved extensive. Of Irish Oats only a lint' ted quantity has been received, while the total imports of all grain of foreign produce have been below average ones. Fresh-up coastwise, as well as by land carriage, and samples, only a moderate supply of Wheat of home produce came to hand, and that, for the most parts, of middling quality. The show of sam ples was therefore scanty ; owing to which, the in creased attendance of buyers, both town and country, and the unfavourable accounts received respecting the harvest in the north of England, the Wheat trade ruled brisk, at. an advance in the currencies obtained on Monday last of from is to 3s per quarter, being an improvement ou Friday's rates of quite Is ; and at which most of the parcels on offer were speedily disposed of by the factors. Still, how ever, the trade did not close so briskly as at the opening of the market. The show of tine foreign Wheat was by no means large. There being much inquiry for that descrip tion of grain, holders were firm, and would not sell, except at a rise of from 2s to 3s per 'quarter, at which amount of im provement a large business was transacted. For Corn, under lock, there was a good speculative inquiry, and is to 2s per quarter more money was paid fie- fine Wheats. Altheugh there were no orders on the market for the pur chase of either Barley, Oats, Beans, or Peas, for shipment to the continent, those articles were steady, and previous rates were well supported. The supply of English Barley was very small ; however the sale for it was somewhat active, at. a rise ie the quotations of Is per quarter. For the best parcels of Malt we had a steady demand, at Is per quarter more money; while the value of other kinds was fieely sup ported. Comparatively speaking, very few samples were unsold at the market's close. We had a very short supply of Oats on sale. Fur all kinds the sale was active, at Is per quarter more money. The best parcels cf Beans commanded an advance of is per quarter, other kinds being held at extreme figures. Of Peas the sales were by no means large, at late rates. Flour steady, and most of the millers were asking higher figures.

For the primest Scots, &c., the demand was steady, at fully last week's quotations, viz. from 3s 10d to 4s per Blbs : but the middling and inferior breeds were a slow inquiry, at barely stationary prices. From the northern counties, we received about 1,600 short horns ; from the eastern districts, 300 Scots, home-breds and short-horns; from the western and midland counties, 500 Herefords, Devons, runts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds; from Scotland, 90 Scots; and, from Ireland, 100 Beasts. 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. For Calves, the numbers of which we're by no means large, we had a slow sale, at Friday's currencies. Pigs were in good request, and prices were well supported.

Privately a good business is doing in English Wools, but foreign and colonial qualities command very little attention. TALLOW. This market is without any material alteration. The price is quoted higher in consequence of the non-arrival of the vessels now on their passage from St. Petersburgh, several of which have been for weeks past in the Sound. There are altogether between London and St. Petersburgh, up to the last.date from thence (29th September), about 24,000 casks, The price of Yellow Candle up to the end of the year, is 41s 91 to 425, and for the Spring Months, 435.

DEATH OF SIR CHARL F.S ROWLEY, BART.-- PORTSMOUTH, OcT. 12.—We regret to announce the death of Admiral of the White Sir Charles Rowley, Bart., G.C.B. G.C.H., late Commander-in-Chief at this port. The de ceased had been suffering for many years from illness, which confined him 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. He 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, the 27th of May, 1825 ; Admiral, the 23d of November, iB4l. The gallant deceased was a most indefatigable 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 expedPion 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 the war 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 from increasing debility was compelled to resign his post in September last, upwards of three months before his period of service would have expired.

The show of flowers and fruit was very superior, and the prizes awarded were—a large silver medal, to Mr. Henderson, for a new plant of Ruellia Macn lata ; silver Knightian medals, to Mr. M'Ewen, and h sr Ma jesty's gardener at Windsor, for pine apples; silver Banksian medals, to Mr. Carter, gardener to the Duke of Northumber land, at Sion House; Mr. Redding, gardener to Mrs. Mar ryatt, and Mrs. Lawrence, for plants; and Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Sellers, for pines ; and certificates of merit to Mr. Mitchell for swans' egg pears; Mr. Joy and Mr. Stedman for pines; and Messrs. Veitch, of Exeter, for a specimen plan. The meteorological register, kept at the gardens from 20 Sept. to 7th October, gave—banimeter highest, Sept. 24, 30,242 inch ; lowest, Sept. 21, 29 . 315 ; thermometer, highest, Sept. 9. 78 deg. F. ; lowest, Oct. 5, 29 deg. F,; and quantity of rain. 2.26 inch. AMSTERDAM, OCT. 3.—The English steamer, Rapid, which recently commenced running between Hat- Elven and London, was towed back to the Helder, on the 29th ult., in a damaged condition, and with six feet of water in the hold. It had on board 75 cow, 15 of which were drowned or otherwise killed. The last arrivals at the Texel were the Thomas and Joseph, from Newcastle; the Clara Dorothea, the Paragon, the Shencliffe, and the Isis, from Sunderland; and the Jantina Hendrika, • from Hull. The number of passengers on the so-called Dutch Railway, for the month of September. was 67,264. The receipts amounted to 69,411 florins. The Hague papers announc• the sudden death of Herr C. de Bordei, commander of the order of the Dutch Lion, and Attorney-General in the High Council of the Netherlands. THE NEW STEAM-BASIN AT MARINE TOWN, DE YONPORT.—A temporary surpension of the progress of these ha portant works has taken place, owing to the greater portion of the wi n kmen engaged by the contractor having struck for wages. RANELAGH SUSPENSION BRIDGE A Company has been brought forward for the construc 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, aLd 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 distriJ, 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 suspensionprinciple. Instead of the old plan of erecting two piers in the waterway, supporting a centre chain of great span, there will 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 as it will be necessary to purchase on either side of the river is vacant, and of comparatively little value, and consequently , the item of compensatiohs, 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 proeosed is 90,000/. which is suf f icient 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. ' 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 8,000/., being about nine per cent. i,pon 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 smell, and will be met by the dues arising from a steam-boat pier in the centre of the fiver, 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 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. ~-- ~- THE SITN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNINar, OCTOBER 14 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT) i The first of the October Meetings can hardly e said to be an improvement on its predecessor- ,'el , ...4i 'see or two of the races set down to be run in it ware productive of great speculation and exciting intereee. 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 era 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 Wednesnday 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 of the season, viz. the Hopeful, fir 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 she was amiss, and 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 en ti re l y a ma t c h between the Turquoise colt and the favourite, who, to the dismay of his backers, was beaten on the post 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 utti ibuted 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 match-making 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 soya , 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, Ides, 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 fur 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 iu 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 Ides 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, I 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 10Ib, 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, end 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-peas 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 mo=t 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 w 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. Surfien's Gorham bury, 5 yrs who is assigned to carry Bst 121 b, but which ] 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 earle , 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 run in na front.n d Chester S t o, m running, achor, I have no doubt, if sent. Bstbe will , 2lb, I should think would not ~go, fir he has not been backed for a shilling. General Pol lock, 7st 111 b, is an honest animal, game as a pebble, but not possessed of speed tufficient 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-arn-not- Aware, who for many years has been accustomed to run for this stake, with great profit to the bookmakers —once he ac wally ran third for it, viz., in Clarion's year, when he was within half a neck of the second horse, Bloomsbury. If tht pace is not too good and the ground very heavy, he may struggle on and get fourth or fifth. His weight (but it is al most uen:eketaesislairiyon of thetometisopnriiig, t,ifolrnterveperidy,body knows what they put upon him) is 7st 81b. The a different horst , from wh a t h e was at Ci esties;' I w 6sli 111 b, he carried o ff th e C up, an d with 61b extra the stakes, at least we may conc l u d e so f ro m his running at conjecture,here, will: Wolverhampton, where, with 7st 51b, he was not even placed for the Wolverhampton Stakes. His spring victorie are to be attributed to the ground on which be was trained, tieing so very favourable to horses in that season of the year, Intrepid is still supported with son e degree of confidence his former friends, but I cannot hear of him as a winner. The next that comes under my eye is the lioness of the summer, bliss Elie, whose doings are fresh in everybody', mind; suffice it to say, that, with sst 711), she won the Good wood Stakes, from a field of twentyttwo, and the fo llowin g day, carrying 7st, the Cup, beating eleven others, being the only three years old, w ith the exception of Glencoe, that ever won that valuable prize. For the Stewards' Cup, the day after, although of course much fatigued by her severe mark the two days previously, she yet continued to cut a good figure She was reserved for the Great. Yorkshire Stakes at. York, for which race she was beaten by four lengths by Miss Sarah. Game as she is, Ido not thinkit possible, with 7st 71b, that she can be looked upon as a likely winner. Vol-au-Vent is entitled to notice front having won the Newmarket Ihndicap, with 6st 41b, from I-am-not-Aware and a small field; but as that was in the Craven Meeting, and the distance a mile shorter than the one on which this e ill be run, I cannot say much in favour of his chance. There was a good deal of noise made about him for the Great t Yorkshire Handicap for which he was drawn. He cut ur 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 Mona 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 t i t "h s i s li t p ; , 7.st 101 b, her own imagine, will not go.

I have heard a g ood deal of WINDSOR ELECTION. Colonel Reid, of the 2d Life Guards, hag 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 INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF NEW WINDSOR. " Gentlemen,—John Walter, Esq., of Bearwood, will come forward as a candidate for the representation of your bor , ,ugh, " 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 be presents himself to your notice, receive your best encouragement. " AN 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 CELEBATED 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 we-e 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 104 minutes, in the presence and to the gratification of the Duke of amilton 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, lie lifted ten hundred weight and a qUarter, and with 8111). 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 time 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, Barryniore, 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. 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. He lived and died in easy circumstances, and his pro ' petty will be inherited by - his niece, his constant and affec tionate attendant. EV-}TRIMEN TAL SQUADRON. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 10.—Wind breezy from N.W., veering towards S.W.—The experimental squadron, under command of Real-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, red at the mizen, entered Plymouth Sound on Friday night, and dropped anchor in the fallowing order:—The Rodney, 92, Captrin 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 off the western arm of th, breakwater, towards Mount Edgcumbe: The Heroine, 10- gun brig, is also in the Sound. During the second trip, which commenced Sunday, tip' 28th ult., the fleet have not experienced any weather - suffi cie •tly sever- to test their sailing qualities under such cir cums:ances. 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 none better than in the former. The Daring brig, 12, is, from her small tannage and canvas, always left behind, except when on a wind under stormy stay-sails, in which case she drifts less, and is consequently ahead, folio Ned by the Rodney, Queen, Albion, and the. rest. A steam-tug, with letters, has been waiting in Plymouth Sound for the list 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 haying given way, that ship had lost several halids, the number of whom was variously stated at between 8 and 50. The only OCCaSism, 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 bunt'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. lie was btu ied off Whitsand Bay on the evening of the same day. It is expected that the fleet will go to sea again about Tuesday, the 14th inst. (to-morrow). The late Attorney-General for Jamaica, William, Ross, Esq., who died at Bath on the 16th ult., has left no issue, and his estate at Lambridge, which by his will was left, on the death of his wife, to his nephew, William limiter Ross,' who has since died, will on the decease of the testator's wife pass to his grandniece, Euphemia Ross. The testator has left his wife also an annuity of 7001., and an nuities to his sisters and other relatives, and small legacies to all his servants. All accumulations of residue to be divided, at the decease of the testator's widow, equally among, the annuitants named in the will, including his nephews, the Rev. A. W. Burnside, and J. Burnside, Esq., who are executors. The personal property in England sworn under 20,0001. FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.—At Greenwich Petty Sessions, on Saturday, seventeen tradesmen were fined for having false weights and measures, by which purchasers were defrauded. MAGISTRATES FOR GLOUCESTERSIIIRR.—We hear that the names of the under-mentioned noblemen and gen lemen have been added to the Commission of the Peace for this county :—The Marquis of Worcester, . William Moore Adey, Esq., of Wotton-under-edge ; John Hopton, Esq., ;:emorton ; Charles Brooke Hunt, Esq., Bowden Hall, Upton Lento:l-Ws ; John James, Esq., Newnllam ; Ansley Robin on, Esq., Cheltenham; Charles Smith, Esq., Sont.hrop; In Stanton, Esq., SA:alehouse ; John Cam Thackwelt, Esq , .','il:on•place, near Ledbury ; Richard Wyatt, Esq., Stroud; the Rev. Thomas Maurice; the Rev. W. Yarnton Mills; the Rev. Thomas Puma—Gloucestershire Chronicle. after witnessing the evil results of putting Alfred Day upon Witsend in the Buckenham, that old Sam will be allowed to steer her in this, and then her backers may look to her being handy at the finish. Cowl psys, 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 Garrvowen. 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►natches,certainly in that one between him and the Cobweb colt. On Friday most. of the perfo:mers in the Clears ell 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 Gcorge'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 Cin'zelli, I like the former best. In the second, between Prolouge and Deodara, I recommend my friends to stand on the former. The third, 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, woald I stand on the former. London, 11th Oct., 18 , 15. TELEGRAPH. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

Discord accompanied Kent's other horses to the Shoreditch station this morning, but in walking round the yard while the bores were being brought up to the platform fell with his hind legs, through apparently sound ground, into an old drain, and lacerated both limbs so badly from the fetlocks to the hocks, that the trainer found it necessary to send him back. 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 arriving at the different stations, render a change of management dispensable. "Mr. Hudson" is sadly wanted. ENTRIES FOR MONDAY. T.Y.C. Plate, First Class.

ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.— An accident occurred on the above line on Thursday night, 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 s i gna l, however, was an swered by the exhibition of the wrong lights, and the con 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 ont that the only damage sustained was the partial destruction of the engine. ERUPTION OF MOUNT HECLA.—The Hamburgh 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 Hecla, 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 Rei 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 intel ligence of a volcanic eruption In the southern part of the island on Sept. 2, the first since the memorable one which occurred nineteen years ago. The extent of the fall of sand and ashes is not yet known, but it is ascertained that the populous district., adjacent to the volcano have not been se riously injured, except that the grass plotsnear the mountains were destroyed." Mrs. Fitzwilliam has just concluded a highly suc cessful 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 the Lord Provost. She re-appears this evening at the Adelphi Theatre in "The Green Bushes." ACCIDENT BY FIRE-ARMS —On Friday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, a serious accident occurred to James Strasburg, aged sixteen years, the son of J. F. Stras burg, Esq., of Finchley-roid, St. John's-wood. He had they J. ohn, fixed s tov John's-wood. .t r ee Afterat the fi r age several v o e f r the e times, fa t httaart. disputef bar t r h a c ea k ri s i a see t . procured from his father's bedroom a large horse-pistol, and proceeded with it, accompanied by three of his companions, to amuse themselves by firing small shot at a target, which as to the number of shots that had hit the target, and to . decide it Mr. Strasburg ran up to the tree at the moment one of his companions disc'•arged the pistol, when nearly the whole of the contents entered his right side. He was carried home by his companions, and two surgeons were immedi ately sent for. A great portion of the shots were extracted, but so extensive are the injuries sustained, sent be lies in great danger. ~l_ _ ____ ,_ - ~_ -;..-' -;.i °.

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, the Brighton and Tunbridge Wells 22 miles, ant the Hast 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 INGS 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 great public highways, carries it out consistently with sup plying, throughout the entire district traversed by the pro jected lines, accommodation to one of the richest and most populous portions of the country. The line from Tunbridge Wells to Hastings will be about twenty-six miles in length, and in its course will touch the towns of Frant, Wndhurst, Lamberhurst, Etchingham, Hurst. Green, Robertsbridge, Whatlington, and Battle, its proposed terminus being at the western extremity of Hastings. It is also proposed, we understand, to extend the advantages of this line to the inha bitants of Wincheleea 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 toPa:HB,;Y - Dieppe and Rouen. This Company's Brighten line will, we observe, take a direct course, passing Mayfield, Rotherfield, Uekfield, Little Horsted, to Lewes, wheie 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 RAILIVAY.-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 direct line of communication from London to Holyhead, has long occupied the public attention ; the benefits that would be derived from such a ready mode of communication it is almost needless to dwell upoa, and the undertaking from this circumstance alone has excited a very general interest throughout the country. The difficulties of overcoming the natural obstacles of a mountainous country, such as are pre sented 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, aided by the industry of -man, have rendered this b mid and enter prising project not only feasible, but comparatively easy to be accomplished ; and we rejoice to find that the scheme 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 reputatien, and we have the greatest confidence in his selection of the line, and the ability with which it will be carried out. It is 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 traffic to 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, wil' secure to this Company an immense revenue from their cat riags alone. THE IRON TRADE.—DUDLEY, SATURDAY.—The 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 0( the masters were inclined to make a further advance, but the more prudent resolved to abide by the present rate of prices. It appeared to be a general opinion that if a further advance took place the miners and ironmen would require a corre sponding advance of wages, and, taking alt matters into con sideration, that such a proceeding would be decidedly in ay jurious quotedhsosb established d l eo at t c a h e t s e now tes fi works.xed jurious to the home trade dependent upon the iron nvuratac t ier tnhglaluml. bt Bars,u ei r n e. g 14 T 001s h ..; e hs f i o igi l eh l quar ter day, and 20s. higher than tho se fixed at Wolverhamp ton a fortnight ago. SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION.—MT. Hartwey, who has 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 for 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 for catching wild bulls, in which there happened to be one, when the infuriated animal gored him to death. BRAINTREE FAIR.--This important fair was held on Thursday and Friday last, and as respects the supply of stock jitsofthnaitoshta(ll,eesreeraqc)thioednsu, s a a n r d e o t f he th b e u i s n in n e st ss fa, l , o o t t r i e, rabtlleiechaac - e ra o e n ter. The number of sheep and lambs exceeded the supply of any former year, nearly 20,000 being penned; there was also a fair average number of bullocks in the fair; ani the whole were in very excellent condition. Of horses there was a full supply, including a larger number than usual of very superior cart colts. The attendance, too, of respectable buyers was numerous, especially on Thursday, and large purchases were made at good, indeed at considerably advanced rates, which contrasted favourably with the low prices produced by the panic on the taritf in 1842. Friday morning was wet and unfavourable, and consequently there was a smaller attendance of buver. , , but still the rates of the previous day were well maintained, and a considerable deal of business was transacted. The supply of hops, generally an important feature at this fair, was, owing to the backwarkness of the season, smaller than was ever seen there before; in fact, the picking not being over very few conk' be bagged in time to send to this mart. For those that were pitch,d, from 8/. Bs. to 91. per cwt. was asked, bat few sales were effected at this rate, many being of opi nion, notwithstanding the unfavourable reports from some of the large hop-growing districts of the kingdom, that these prices will not be maintained. This was the first fair held since the alterations at the Hyde Farm, and the making of the new arrangements; and a correspondent states there were complaints amongst some of the large dealers that the space purchased and fenced in for the stock is much too con fined, for should the fair increase at the ratio it has done for the last twenty years, it will soon be literally crammed. The space allotted to the horses, lie says, was much com olained of as insufficient; and he adds, a hope is expressed that the new proprietors of the manor will purchase more of the ground for the purpose before it is occupied by buildings, which would render the enlargement of the fair far more difficult and expensive.—Essex Herald. 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.--Orford Journal. 534 72sCgl 87:46,1 1 07sd 7756d1 7%; 77s I2s 9Gd , I 18706 d 1 101s3 20s pi l 46s p 21s p 12% 254 12!,( 2 38s p 56s p 5 2%
