SLi Vil MARY OF il EV/ 3 P Ut4 "•' 4t, L,k t Who runs may read." rOF4MIG.Mt. A letter frcm Eu, of the 20th, says :—" The King, accompanied by General de Rumigny, Baron de Ge rente, Count de Strada, and Viscount Duchesne, took an airing to-day on horseback on the road to Dieppe, but returned to dinner. The Prefect of the department, General Lalaing d'Audenarde, and the Mayor of Eu, were amongst the guests." His Royal Highness .the Duke d'Aumale arrived at Eu on Monday. According to the Constitutionnel, Marshal Soult is on the 29th of this month to celebrate by a grand banquet the fourth anniversary of the Cabinet of which he is the nominal, and M. Guizot the real, President. "We are informed," says the Toulonnais of Sunday last, " that a small squadron will be sent to Naples to bring to France the intended bride of the Duke d'Au male. The period of the departure of this naval force, which some persons think will go under the command of the Prince de Joinville, is not yet fixed, but it is be lieved to be very near." The Illessager announces the completion of the ar rangement for the new service by steam between Mar seilles and Oran and Stora in Algeria. It is to com mence on January Ist, as already stated. There will thus be seven departures for Algeria per month—viz., three for Algiers, two for Oran, and two for Stora. Dispatches had been received at Madrid from Rome, which were considered highly satisfactory by the Court, inasmuch as they contained bulls prolonging the office of the Royal Commissary de la Cruzada for two years, this being looked upon as a special favour, no autho rization having been as yet given for more than one year. We learn from Berlin that the municipality of that capital, having entered into a contract with an English company for lighting the city with gas for upwards of 20 years, and finding that, consequently, there will be no expense created by forming the establishments which would have been required for that purpose, has resolved, instead, to erect a new hospital, sufficiently spacious to receive 600 patients, and suppress all the present smaller hospitals. The cost of the new edifice is estimated at 275,000 dollars. A letter from Weimar announces the death, at Vienna, of the only grand-daughter of Goethe. The mortal remains of Weber, the composer, who died in London in 1826, have just been finally depo sited 'with some pomp, in the Catholic cemetery of Dresden. Letters from Figueras, of the 15th, state, that the correspondence and papers seized upon General Amettler positively prove that measures had been taken by the conspirators so that the movement should break out simultaneously in the provinces of Gironi and Tarragona. The Barcelona papers, of the 18th, state the military authorities to be adopting every possible precaution, in order to check a Progresista movement. The Observateur du Rhin states that, in addition to the sum of nine millions and a half of francs, contri buted by the states of the Germanic Confederation, for the construction of new fortresses, they have also agreed to furnish eighteen millions for the new works of Rastadt and Ulm. LAW AID POLICB. In the case of Robert Howland in the Bankruptcy Court Sir C. F. Williams suspended the grant of the bankrupt's certificate for eighteen months. The bank rupt had been a valuer and auctioneer, and in that capa city had obtained possession of property to a consider able amount, and never accounted to the owners for the proceeds. - The trial of Captain Jennings, charged with slave trading, has been again postponed at the request of the prosecutor in consequence of the absence of a material witness. Cooper and Weston, the two men who robbed a house in the Waterloo• road, under the pretence that they were police-officers come to search it under a war rant, were convicted at the Central Criminal Court be fore the Recorder, but judgment was not pronounced. Amelia SMith, aged 23, and Eleanor Stanton, 43, were convicted in the New Court for feloniously taking and detaining a male child, aged eight weeks, with intent to defraud the parents of the possession of the said child, and were each sentenced to be transported for seven years. A young man named William Chivers, a native of Aberdeen, was charged at the Guildhall with collecting charitable contributions by false pretences. The pri soner had represented himself as a draper's assistant out of employ, who bad just come up from Aberdeen in search of a situation, and collections had been made for him by the assistants in several shops. His statement, upon enquiry being made, turned out to be false, and'he was given into custody. Mr. Alderman Hughes re manded the prisoner till Saturday, to see if any further charges would be preferred against him. At Clerkenwell, John Baker, proprietor and driver of an omnibus, badge 4,018, and William Webster, driver of another Islington omnibus, badge 7,836, charged with furious driving and endangering the lives of her Majesty's subjects, were fined 31. each and costs. Caroline Berry and Elizabeth Phasey, charged with having been concerned in stealing a quantity of jewellery, &c., the property of John Goldie, Esq., 39, Baker-street, Portman-square, was fully committed from Marylebone. At Worship-street Eliz Jaeth Ford, a girl 16 years of age, was charged with having attempted to commit sui cide at a house of ill-fame in a notorious locality, called the Vinegar-ground, City-road. The unfortunate crea ture stated that her father was a typefotunler, living at Pentonville. That about 14 months ago she had been seduced and deserted, and that she was in such a horrible state of disease and misery, that she had taken poison to put an end to her sufferings. It appeared that the poison had been removed by the stomach-pump, and the magis trate directed that she should be sent to St. Thomas's Hospital. Win. Saunders and Mathew Crowley, charged with endangering the lives of her Majesty's subjects, by furiously driving in the parish of Charlton, Kent, were each fined 40s. and costs at Woolwich. _ A boy named John Jackson, charged with steal ing a flute and a silver snuff-box from the shop of Mr. John Clay, a surgeon, of No. 85, Jubilee-street, Stepney, was fully committed from the Thames Police-court. Mr. Clay caught the prisoner as he was leaving the shop with the flute sticking out of his pocket. At the Uxbridge Petty Sessions, Mr. John Coles, pro prietor and driver of the Thame (Oxon) and London omnibus, appeared before Messrs. Dagnall, Clark, and Mills, the sitting magistrates, to answer a summons, charging him with cruelty to a horse. The defendant had driven the horse while it had a raw place on its shoulder. He was fined 20s. GO OU'lr -PALS 311 Z GU' JUR X. 13. The Grand Dowager Duchess Stephanie of Baden is expected to pay her announced visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Douglas early in the ensuing year. The Marquis and his illustrious consort are enjoying the society of a few select friends at Brodrick Castle, Isle of Arran, where great improvements are in progress. The Duke and Duchess, of Buccleuch and family are passing the autumn at Dalkeith Palace, where his Grace is expected to remain until the reassembling of the Cabinet next month. _ _ _ • The Marchionessof Westminster ' who has been slightly indisposed at Grosvenor House, is better. The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry and suite are at present residing at Mountstewart, New townards, and Lord Castlereagh is expected there in a few days. Lord and Lady Sidney are entertaining a select circle at their seat, Frognal, near Footscray, Kent, among whom are the Countess Cadogan and Lady Honoria Cadogan. Earl Fortescue and Viscount Ebrington have been on a visit to the Hon. and Rev. Canon Fortescue, brother to the Noble Earl, at Worcester, during the last few days. Baron Koller has arrived at Chandos House, having been appointed Austrian Charge d'Affaires pending the arrival of Count Dretrichsen, the Minister Plenipoten tiary from that Court. ViZZSG2S7a,,A.N3EOI726 f At an adjourned meeting of the Middlesex magistrates held on Thursday, it appeared from the annual report of the surgeon of the Douse of Correction, that the total number of prisoners committed there during that period had been 9,746; that only ten deaths bad occurred during the past year, and that two of the prisoners out of that number were labouring under incurable consumption at the time of their admission. The annual report of the chaplain of the Westminster Bride well, stated that during the pastyear twenty-five pri soners had been taught writing, and thirty taught to read. Mr. Pownall read a return of the number of persons apprehended on a charge of drunkenness, from 1831 to 1843, from which it appeared that the difference in 1831 and 1843 amounted to no fewer than 18,000 less than in the former year. At the inquest at Yeovil, on Saturday, Mr. R. P. Caines remarked that in the course of his coronership he had held no less than 3,800 inquests. He had been a coroner nearly twenty-eight years, and during the last seven years alone he had travelled 36,766 miles, giving an average of 5,252 miles per year. lie had paid in turnpikes during the seven years a sum very little short of ninety pounds. The theatre at Beccles, built a few years since at an expense of 2,0001., is about to be converted into a coin exchange. Lieutenant F. E. L. Moore, late of the Caledonia, 120 guns, and Mr. J. Bodie, late Acting-Masser of the Espeigle, one of the ships of the experimental squadron, have been appointed to take magnetic observations in the southern hemisphere, and are to embark in the Thomas Snooks freight ship, for a passage to the Southern Ocean, where their observations will be carried on. They will be joined by Lieutenant Clarke, Royal Engineers, at the Cape of Good Hope, who has been appointed to the same service. A fishing-boat belonging to the port of Dieppe was wrecked on the night of the 19th, near Treport. Four of the six persons on board were drowned. It appears from some tables on foreign commerce, that the import and export trade of France with Morocco amounted in 1840 to 3,714,000 f., in 1841 to 3,543,000 f., and in 1842 to 2,984,000 f., and that within those three years the trade between England and Morocco amounted to 52,898,000 f. A French chemist, M. Debzenne, has discovered a mode of making old worn-out fragments of silk into new silk, by distillation. In the same way that caoutchouc is drawn into filaments, and woven into a double material, so are these remnants of silk reduced to what is no more than its primitive state—viz., a glutinous paste, by means of a dissolvent, and, like fused glass, re-acquires, in coming into the air, all its original strength and tenacity. DARTMOOR.—About 5,000 acres of this extensive common have been purchased by a company, who have already fenced and drained part of it, and calculate on letting the whole at los. per acre.

WINDSOR, THuasvay.—The Queen and Prince Albert took their accustomed early exercise, and in the course of their morning walk paid a visit to the Duchess of Kent at Frogmore House. In the after noon her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal High ness, went in a pony phaeton to the riding-school, at tended by Colonel Bouverie. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken for an airing this morning, but the unfavourable state of the weather prevented the Royal Family from being taken out for a drive in the afternoon. The Earl and Countess of Westmoreland took their departure from the Castle to day. The Earl of Jersey, Master of the Horse, arrived at the Castle this morning, and had an audience of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The Noble Earl afterwards took his departure. The morning proving so wet prevented Prince Albert from going to shoot, as had been arranged previous to the rain. His Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured Mr. Thorburn with a sitting yesterday, for a full-length portrait. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived at Cambridge House yesterday morning, from Kew. His Royal Highness returned to Kew in the afternoon. A deputation from the Harwich and Eastern Counties Junction Railway, consisting of Mr. James Henry Attwood, Chairman ; Mr. Bagshaw, Deputy- Chairman ; Mr. Braithwaite, engineer ; Messrs. Bourdillon and Duncan, solicitors ; and Mr. George Rusk, secretary, had an interview with the Earl of Dalhousie yesterday, at the office of the Board of Trade. The Earl of Aberdeen left town on Wednesday for Scotland. A deputation on the subject of the London, Cha tham, and North Kent Railway, consisting of Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, Bart., Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, M.P., Mr. H. T. Prinsep, Mr. Charles M`Garch, Mr. William Petero, and Mr. George Winburne, accom panied by Mr. Vignolles, engineer; Mr. Stephens, solicitor; and Mr. Mackarness, secretary, had an in terview with the Earl of Dalhousie yesterday, at the Board of Trade. THEATRICALS. In the auction next week of Drury-lane and Covent garden shares, at the Mart, Mr. George Robins (who has the conduct of these sales) holds out, atnongst other and very many advantages, that, beside free ad missions to all and every dramatic performance before the curtain at Covent-garden (except private boxes), it extends to every other species of ente , tainment, including "Rh e Corn-law League meetingr." Of Drury-lane, it holds out, beside the pecuniary advantages that they will pos sess, a personal free admission for any one person's life, to partake nightly of " the unparalleled performances in progress, and promised by Mr. Bunn, to continue during the mason. The spirited lessee also promises that he will this year out-do all his previous out-doings; and he ap pears notrto have promised in the dark, for, beside one of the first danseuses in the world, Mdlle. Dumilatre, he has just introduced Aldlle. Plunket, to whom report as signs the very first place in the ballet. This would re mind us of olden times.—From a Correspondent. ------ - MRS. ALFRLD SHAIV.—We are happy to be able to contradict a statement that has been circulated as regards this gifted artiste. This statement is the most pathetic affair imaginable, referring to, the loss of her husband, acd other domestic misfortunes of Mrs. Alfred Shaw, terminating by deploring this lady's ill-health. Whether envy and professional rivalry have assumed this bene. volent form, to aim their shafts with more certainty, or whetber it proceeds from sincere solicitude, we are truly gratified to be able to mention, on the best authority, that the whole of this lachrymose statement is utterly devoid of truth, and that Mrs. Alfred Shaw has returned to town, and was never in better health or better voice. Accounts from Rome (7th inst.), state that the Pope has, since his sojourn at Castel Gandolfo, attended by a small suite, visited various cities in the Roman States. His Holiness proceeded through Albano, Gen zano, Marino, Frascatti, Grotta, and Ferrara, where he made minute inquiries relative to the administration of affairs, as well as to the social intercourse of the people The Venerable Archbishop of Cologne Baron V.

It originated in the refining-house, a building about 26 feet long by 15 wide, and which contained a valuable stock of camphor undergoing the process of refinement. Such was the inflammable nature of the contents that in the brief space of five minutes the whole of the refining-house became enveloped in one broad sheet of flame, which shot through the roof with the greatest fury, ca u si ng , as might be supposed, the most lively apprehensions for the safety of the contiguous buildings. The workmen exerted themselves to the utmost, and endeavoured to confine the: destructive element to that portion of the premises where it commenced, but notwithstanding that the place was covered with sheets of zinc, the fire speedily travelled through the same, and communicated to an adjoining building, about the same size as the former one. Finding :it impossible to get the mastery of the flames without the aid of engines, information of the outbreak was dispatched to Whitecn)ss-street, and other engine stations. Several of the brigade engines, with the West of England one, promptly attended, and there being a good supply of water, they were set to work, and by carrying. the hose through the front factory the firemen were enabled to play with full vigour upon the flames, thereby preventing the fire from extending further. The cause of the outbreak was the bursting of a glass carboy used in the crystallizing process. Fortunately, the whole of the workmen escaped unin jured. We understand that the proprietor of the works is uninsured. TROTTING MATCH FOR TWENTY POUNDS.—Yester day the match made by Mr. Haynes to trot his pony (12i- hands high) fifteen miles in harness, came off on Wimbledon-common. Two miles of road were selected, and the pony, harnessed to a light match cart, appeared at the starting mark, and then commenced the match, and trotted tiA o miles in seven and a half minutes, then turned, completing four miles in fifteen minutes. He was pulled in, and in two minutes he was at work, and performed another four miles in fourteen minutes. The next four miles were performed in fourteen minutes, and, having been gruelled, in three minutes he com menced the last three miles, which were trotted in ten and- A quarter minutes ; thus accomplishing the fifteen miles in fifty-eight and a quarter minutes. The pony was ably driven, and appeared quite fresh at the con clusion of the match, full force - to Ireland; and perhaps there is no country on the face of the globe in greater want of them, or which would derive greater national benefits by their introduction, than the sister kingdom. The unfortu nate turmoils which she has for so long a period suffered, could not, we think, receive a more effective check than by the establishment of a well-selected system of railways ; for by this, it is not only our opinion, but that of others competent to judge—an opinion, too, daily gaining ground—that the commer cial condition of the country would become so mate rially improved, as to raise it above the poverty stricken state that now feeds " agitation." Whether in a national point of view, or as a pri vate speculation for profit, we wish success to rail ways in Ireland. It is, therefore, with pain that e notice dissensions amongst parties engaged to carry out a valuable line of railway, where it is one of the first principles of success that unanimity should exist. Our readers are aware that a line has been proposed known as the Great Western Railway in Ireland, to unite Dublin with Alullingar and Athlone, setting out from Lucan cr some other point on the Cashel line. Sir John Macneill was appointed engineer, and we believe a highly respectable body of gentlemen constituted the direction. In furtherance of this object a project has since been set on foot, by a sepa rate Company to extend that line from Athlone to Galway ; thus completing the chain of cornmunica tion from Dublin to Galway, the value of which needs no comment. Unhappily, however, dissension seems to have lately arisen in the directorate of the former Company, and hence if we are well informed the re cent appearance of a rival scheme, with the title of " Irish Great Western" also to connect Dublin with Galway. Sir John Macneill appeared here too as the engineer !—a circumstance that must have greatly astounded his friends, knowing that his services were already engaged on the other side, as no doubt it did him, but which that gentleman has since repudiated by public advertisement, together with another highly respectable individual, whose name was likewise printed in the prospectus of the new project. It has been: asked of us, and not being enabled to answer, we now beg to inquire of the promoters of the rival Irish Great Western, and we do so, holding them guiltless until convicted—whether it is true that the names of Lord Castlemaine, Mr. John Campbell, and Mr. Blake are also placed in their prospectus without the authority of those parties? And whether it is the case thatthe whole differences that have arisen, the primary cause of a rival project being set on foot, are to be imputed to the disappointed wishes of one of their body, who being on the Committee of the Great Western deiired to have amongst them a sharebroker, and also other particular friends nominated as Parliamentary agents, and because these were not, and, perhaps conscien tiously, could not be complied with, threatened the present rival project, in which the names that were rejected in the other appear? We ask whether these circumstances are true ? And, if so, whether the individual alluded to as the cause is one who signs an M.P. to his name, which may mean either Member of Parliament, aster of Pranks, Methodist Parson, Mar-Plot, &c., who will as inevitably mar the plot in which he is now con cerned, as he has attempted to do that in which he was formerly a Director. We regret exceedingly the appearance of the new Company—if by the name of Company that can be termed which boasts no better constitution than the Great Western at present possesses—instituted by parties whose duty one would have expected it was to act as friends, not foes. We have, therefore, made inquiries, the details of which it would be indiscreet to publish, and we must confess, if the statements furnished to us are not gross fabrications, the result is anything but favour able to the conduct of the rival projectors. Pre judiced to neither side, we are open to conviction by either. We wish to see nothing done but what is right, and the promoters of an honest project prosper in their undertaking. Arrangements, we are in formed, are now being made by the Dublin, Mullin gar, and Athlone Company (the bona fide Sir John Macneill's) to purchase the Royal Canal, which will be of mutual advantage to both railway and canal; saving to the former considerable expense in the con struction of the line, and to the latter protection from certain future depreciation. On Tuesday last the Directors of the Canal had an interview with Lord Eliot, in order to ascertain if Government, who have a power of control, will assent to a sale of it ; and on Wednesday a. deputation of the Railway Directors were to have had. an audience with Lord Eliot, for a like 'purpose. • • We have not yet learned the result ; but as the matter is one of mutual benefit, there can be little doubt that an arrangement will be effected. DUBLIN AND GALWAY RAILWAY. DISCLAIMER.—The name of Andrew H. Lynch, Esq., was inserted without his auth or ity or k now l e d ge in the prospectus lately published by the Company calling itself the " Irish Great Western Railway , Company," with which that gentleman disclaims hav ing any cenrexion. Mr. Lynch is a member of the Provisional Committee of the Galway and Athlone Railway Junction Company. TO: THE EDITOR OF " HER APATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL:. Sir,—l have seen in the public newspapers the prospectus of a line of railway from Dublin to Gal way in which I am stated to he the engineer. Whilst I acknowledge the respectability of the names at tached to it, I beg to say I have never been consulted about it, nor can I have any connection with the transaction, being already engaged for the Dublin, Mullingar, and Athlone line. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN MACNEILL. 28, Rutland-square, Dublin, Oct. 1, 1844. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CITY.—WO cannot answer the inquiries of several correspondents, if there be any truth iii the rumour that her Majesty intends to return from the ceremony of opening the Royal Ex change, on Monday next, by the City-road and New road to Paddington, on her way to Windsor; but if such be the royal intention, we think the public ought to be informed of it, in order to prevent disapi - mintnient to all parties, and the delay of business incidental to the ex pectation of the return of the procession by the same line as it proceeded to its interesting and memorable object.—Morning Advertiser. [We agree with our Con temporary, that some announcement on the subject ought to be made. We should imagine, however, as her Ma jesty is to dine at Windsor, that there will be no return procession, but that her Majesty will proceed in her pri vate carriage to the Paddington terminus, viu the City road, as soon as the ceremony shall be over.—ED. Sun.] THE KING OF SAXONY AND THE JEW JEWELLER. —The Allgemeine Zeitung contains a contradiction of the report which has been circulated in various German as well as English newspapers, relative to a deception said to have been practised upon the King of Saxony, by a jeweller of whom he made extensive purchases, upon his Majesty's visit to this country. It is stated that the pa ragraph in question was originated by a tradesman who entertained feelings of jealousy towards the person of whoM his Majesty obtained the jewels. The contradic tion has been published under the authority of the Master of the Household to the King of Saxony. NOVEL AND DELICATE SURGICAL OPERATION. — An operation of a most interesting nature was performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the 12th of this month, by Mr. Skey, one of the surgeons of that institution. This operation, which excited a good deal of public in terest, was conducted in the most skilful manner, in the presence of Messrs. Pasquier and Fauquier, the medical attendants on the King of the French, and a number of amateurs from Windsor, who were anxious to witness it, Mr. Guthrie, the medical officers of the institution, and a large assemblage of pupils. A soklier of the name of Wright, in the 2d Queen's Regiment, received a ball in the knee at the storming of Ghuznee in the year 1839, which laid him up for many months, and deprived him of the use of his leg. The long-continued pain arising from this injury was so severe that his general health was rapidly sinking, and in this state, after having tried various other hospitals for relief, he applied to Mr. Skey to amputate his leg. That gentleman, upon examining the joint, finding an abscess on the outer condyle of the thigh-bone, came to the conclusion that the ball was lodged in the bone, and that by the following operation the leg might be spared. After laying open the abscess, he dug a hole into the bone by means of a trephine, upon the withdrawal of which the ball was discovered at the bottom. He then loosened it by means of a screw, and having isolated it with a gouge, he succeeded in drawing it forth by means of a strong bone forceps. The operation did not occupy more than ten minutes in its performance ; at the conclusion of which he was warmly greeted by his colleagues, and highly complimented by the French surgeons. CASH-BOX FOIL THE KING OF ASHANTEE.—We yesterday saw, at Messrs. Chubb and Sons of St. Paul's churchyard, a very eleg an t cas h-b ox , which they have just completed for the King of Ashantee. It is made of solid silver, and weighs two hundred and seventy-six ounces, the size being seventeen inches long, twelve inches wide, and seven inches deep. The ornaments and chasing, consisting chiefly of lions', tigers', and elephants' heads, designed by Mr. T. Sharp, are of the richest de scription ; and the box which is intended to hold his Majesty's gold-dust, is secured by one of the detector locks, having a massive gold key. OOTTON BASSETT.—THE Fox, THE GOOSE, AND THE GANDER.-011 Wednesday morning last (the door having been left open through the negligence of the boy) a goose walked out earlier than usual from her roost, on the farm occupied by Mr. James Archer, and was in stantly pounced on by a fox, which, with his usual sa gacity, seized it by the neck, and throwing it over his back, was making off, when the gander very courageously issued forth in defence of his lady-love, and with great gallantry attacked Reynarcl with his beak and wings, his keeping up a running fight the distance ofal g field, and eventually caused the depredator t o drop oAnlichal mas dish, which his epicurean appetite led him to seek at this season of the year.

THE POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS AND THE BRADFIELD UNION. We have already drawn tke attention of our readers to the cruel, unjust, and tyrannical conduct of the Poor-law Commissioners, as now being pur sued towards the Guardians of the Bradfield Union, and the master of that workhouse, whose appoint ment the " Despots" at Somerset-house refuse to sanction, on the pretext of " insolvency" and " inex perience," both of which grounds have been_proved to be most shamefully futile and unreasonable. In reference to this case, we have much pleasure in recording the proceedings of the Board of Guardians of the parish of Chelsea (now in the third year of its happy deliverance from the Kensington Union, a con nexion equally destructive to the interests of the Chelsea rate-payers as of those of their poor.) On Wednesday, the 16th instant, the Board of Guardians of this parish was specially summoned to consider a motion, of which due notice had been given by the Chairman (Mr. J. B. Ryder) for con sidering a communication lately received from the Bradfield Union, on the subject of the dispute now pending between th e P oor -l aw C omm i s sioners and that Board in reference to Mr. Brangwin's appoint ment. Mr. RrDEn, after extended details, showing the oppressive conduct of the Commissioners, moved the following memorial—a few more such, and, we should think, these gentlemen will find that, for once, at all events, they will have to " knock : "To the Right Honourable Sir James Graham, Bart., M.P., her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, " The Memorial of the Board of Guardians of the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, in the county of Mid dlesex, " Sheweth,—That the duties of Guardians of the Poor are both laborious and responsible, in the dis charge of which Guardians ought not to be subjected to vexatious obstruction or interference. " That the Parliament has invested the Poor-law Commissioners with great and extraordinary powers, your memorialists are aware, but they are equally sure that the Legislature never conferred those powers for the purpose of working injustice and tyranny, which appears to have been grossly the case in the instance which your memoriOists now beg most anxiously to draw your attention to. " The case is that of the Bradfield Union, in the counties of Berks, Oxon, and Hants ' recently (offi cially), laid before 'y o u r memorialists, and in which your memorialists believe there is great reason for complaint. "Among other important duties the Board of Guardians of that Union have recently had to per form was, that of electing a master to the Bradfield workhouse, to which office they elected twice, unani mously, Mr. Francis Brangwin, which appointment the Poor-law Commissioners have thought proper, without assigning any public grounds, to refuse to sanction, or even to grant, as requested by the Guar dians, an interview, which might have resulted in some satisfactory arrangements. " That, from information conveyed to your memo rialists, they have reason to believe that the Poor law Commissioners, in not sanctioning Mr. Brang win's appointment on account of ' insolvency' and inexperience,' as they allege, have been influenced by private communications, inasmuch as Mr. Brang win has paid 15s. in the pound, besides all law ex penses attending the settlement of his affairs; has been for several years an active and zealous Guar dian ; bears an unimpeachable character; and pos sesses, among others, a high testimonial from the Rev. William Bishop, the Rector of his parish, who states that he has known Mr. Brangwin for a period of twenty years. " That the Poor-law Commissioners have further harassed the Guardians by threatening legal pro ceedings against them in the Court of Queen's Bench, if they do not forthwith comply with the orders issued far the dismissal of the master, and the election of another, which appears, from the representations of the Guardians, to be wholly unnecessary. " That your memorialists consider that these pro ceedings, on the part of the Poor-law Commissioners, are odious and tyrannical, and calculated only to hurt the feelings of upright and independent men ; deprive them of all interest and satisfaction they may feel in the discharge of their duties, and cause them to throw up, in disgust, a guardianship, which a confiding constituency has placed in their hands. " That the conduct of the Poor-law Commissioners in rejecting Mr. Brangwin, appears to your memo rialists cruel and unjust; tending, as it must, to de stroy the character of a worthy man, and thus crush him in his efforts to obtain an honest and respectable livelihood. " That your memorialists are of opinion that the Guardians of the Bradfield Union, in resisting, as they have done, this arbitrary interference of the Poor-law Commissioners, and in disregarding their legal threats, are highly to be commended; are worthy of the con stituencies which returned them, and deserve the sym pathy and support of this Board, and of every Board of Guardians in the kingdom. " Under these circumstances, your memorialists humbly pray that you, as the head of that department of her Majesty's Government which can take cogni zance of such matters, will render the Board of Guar dians of the Bradfield Union that assistance and re dress which their case seems so loudly to call for. " And your memorialists will ever pray, 8,:c." Mr. MURRAY seconded it. Messrs. Chambers, Hall, Edwell, and Greenway, spoke warmly in favour of Mr. Ryder's motion. The ChAIRMAN, pro tern (Mr. Caleb Collier), then proceeded to put it to the vote, when it was agreed to unanimously, and a copy ordered to be forwarded to the Bradfield Board of Guardians. On Wednesday last (the usual weekly meeting day), the following letter from the Rome- office was read at the Chelsea Board : " Whitehall, October 19, 1844. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 18th instant, forwarding, by desire of the Guar dians of St. Luke, Chelsea, a memorial agreed t o at their meeting on Wednesday last, the 16th. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " G. M. PHILLIPS. " Mr. T. M. Loveland, Clerk to the Board of Guardians, St, Luke, Chelsea." TILE DESPERATE OUTRAGE AND BURGLARY AT MANCETTER. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) On Saturday night last, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock, the dwelling-house of Mr. Thomas Worthington, at Mancetter, near Atherstone, Warwick. shire, was broken into by a gang of ruffians, wearing black masks, and their persons otherwise disguised by black linen, which they wore over their clothes. The house is in a very lonely spot, and a considerable dis tance from any other dwelling. It seems the burglars commenced their operations by cutting a hole in the front door, the noise of which disturbed Miss Worthing ton, who opened a window and inquired what they wanted, on which the burglars said the cows had escaped from the close ; but Mr. Worthington, who had now joined his niece, seeing the desperate looking gang of five or six fellows he had to deal with, ordered them to be off about their business, or he would shoot them. Of this the burglars took no notice, but continued their ope rations against the door, and at last succeeded in making an opening. The inmates, consisting of Mr. Worthing ton, a niece, a grandniece, and a servant lad and maid, were by this time fully prepared, and Mr. Worthington, who is in his 89th year, placed himself at the door, and with a drawn sword cut and stabbed at the fellows through the hole they bad made, and kept them at bay for a con siderable time. Finding they could not obtain admit tance this way, the burglars battered the door to pieces; but while they were doing so, Miss Worthington brought her uncle his fowling-piece, which was loaded with swan shot, and desired him to shoot the villians, and seeing that his aged hands shook so that he could not take an aim, this heroic lady actually pointed and held the gun, while her uncle fired. This did not deter the burglers, but, finding the inmates so resolved, they, all the while uttering the most horrid oaths end impreca tions, next tore up the stones with which the front of the house was paved, and threw them at the old gen tleman and his neice, who still kept their places in the hall, defending the entrance of the house from the robbers ; when, at length, after half an hour's fighting, and no assistance appearing, and Mr. Worthington being wounded in the temple and in various parts of the body, his niece, who stood firmly by his side during the con flict, parleyed with the robbers, and asked whether they wanted their lives, when one of them, who acted as spokesman, said, all they wanted was money, and they did not want to hurt them. The lady then said, if they would promise not to hurt her uncle, no further resistance should be made, which the robbers pro mised; but the old gentleman still continued resolute, and stood at the door with his sword, threatening to cut down the first who approached, the blood all the while pouring down from the wound in the temple he had received, when the niece, fearing he would bleed to death, threw herself upon him, and took away his sword, which was covered with the blood of the burglars, on which four of them made their way into the house, and after making i the servant lad give up all his money, they next t r o t o from Miss Eliza Worthington, a grandniece allof Afr.l h ington, a young lady about fifteen yeaf she d did not money k rso,the on ee l she had, threatening to hang her if to t themshow we il a s where some efo,ed whicht h p i s to the clui et money Theyw as th he n pt rc ° ti n ' e lec took took, as w ro o b u b ld ery o come r againtook any steps st n e night, fi re -arms ; and after threatenirig . the inmates, if they discoverm adea the n ynoise robbers,about they the and burn the house and murder all the inmates, they took their departure, and as yet, we regret to say, nu traces have been obtained of them. We are happy to say that neither Mr. Worthington nor any of his family are seriously injured, and trust that justice will not be long in overtaking the ruffians, for whose apprehension a reward of 1001. has been offered. Rabbits are easily taken alive by soaking their fa vourite food, parsley, in strong rum or brandy. A simi lar method is employed in catching small birds with steeped seed. They, like rabbits, are so intoxicated with the spirit, that there is no difficulty in obtaining as many as you wish. IRELAND. JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS. DUBLIN, OCT. 23.—There is good reason to believe that there is no foundation whatever for contemplated judicial changes recently announced in some of the London journals. Term is likely to open on the 2d of November next without any change whatever amongst the judges. There has been a rumour that Mr. Brewster, the " confidential adviser" at the Castle, is to obtain a Mastership in Chancery. On the part of Mr. Goo/d, one of the oldest of the masters, an authorised contradic tion has bean published, that gentleman having "returned from North Wales in the enjoyment of good health," and resumed his duties in the courts. Unless an ar• rangemeut can be effected in some other quarter, there 1 appears at present little prospect that Mr. Brewster can obtain the object of his ambition. EVICTION OF TENANTS. The Tipperary Vindicator says ;—" On Saturday last the agent of Mr. Csesar Otway, one of the assistant poor law commissioners, proceeded to Mr. Otway's lands at Barbara, accompanied by head-constable Hayes and thirty of the police from Nenagh, and there evicted a man of the name of Ward from the holding, turned his family out of the house, and then levelled it, with two adjoining cabins, to the ground. At one period there seemed some disposition to oppose the proceedings ; but the presence of the police prevented a rupture. Wo have been informed that the cause of this eviction was a dispute concerning the payment of rent, and that tho agent made some advantageous offers to th e t enant , which were refused, and l e d to an evicti on b e i ng put i n force." MURDER ON TIIE BORDERS OF TIPPERARY. A letter dated Thurles, October 21, published in the .IVenagli Guardian, announces the perpetration of a no th er barbarous murder on the verg e o f the county of Tippe rary:—" The victim, in this instance, was a person named Thomas M'Namara, who was employed as one of the bog-rangers on the county of Limerick estate of the governors of the schools founded by Mr. E. Smith. He was murdered about noon on Saturday last, on the public road, leading from Cappamore to Doon, on the lands of Ballycusbown ; there were people passing to and from the bog, bringing out turf to the very place where he was murdered. The police were soon on the spot, and arrested some persons whom they found there ; one man who was digging potatoes in a field, next the road, fled, and the spade he had been using could not be found. He was pursued by the police and others, and arrested at Doon. There will be an inquest held to-day." The Guardian also announces that a man who was in the county infirmary with his skull dreadfidly fractured by a person named Cody, and others, died in great agony on Sunday . evening. The unfottunnte man has left a wife and six children, to bewail his untimely end. Cady is still in custody, and before this untoward circumstance was esteemed as a quiet, inoirensive young man, in whom much confidence was placed by many gentlemen who employed him to collect rents. A reward of 20/. is otlereit by Mr. Cox, the sub -inspector, for such infornia tier. as will lead to the apprehension of the persons con cerned with Cody in attacking the four men. BALLYVANGE, DOWNPATRICK.—About four o'clock on Sabbath morning, the joint stack-yard of Mr. John l‘l‘Cartin and Mr. JaMes M‘liinney was observed in flames. The entire quantity of grain, together with the offic-houses, were totally consumed, and it was at some risk, and with consider a bl e diffi cu l ty , t h e cattle were ' saved. Mr. Bernard Ward, of Vianstown, justice of' the peace, ' who resides within a few perches of the scene, was amongst the first of the neighbours to offer assist ance ; but the 'flames raged with such desperate fury, that it was found impossible to save a particle of grain. M‘liinney's servant, who is the only person who resides in the place, says he went to bed at the usual hour, and all was safe ; that be had neither candle nor other light about the premises ; and from the fact of the stack-yard being at lea.it 40 perches off the public road, and the time at which the fire broke out, there can be no doubt it was the work of an incendiary. M•Cartiu is a man beloved and esteemed by all who know bins, and*M.Kin ney, who resides two miles off, is also much respected, so that no one can even conjecture what could be the cause of so desperate an act.—Banner of Ulster. COLLISION WITII TWO REVENUE POLICEMEN._ As John Flinn and James Carrigan, two of the revenue policemen stationed at Park, near Clucly, in the county of Derry, were taking a walk on Friday evening last, about six o'clock, towards Drcen, which is a mile and a half distant from their station, they fell in with a horse and cart, accompanied by two men. Observing some barrels in the cart, and suspecting they contained illicit whisky, the policemen seized the horse and cart, and attempted to make the men their prisoners. Carrigan took hold of the horse, which, being frightened, ran off, separat ine. Carrigan from his comrade ; and i n th e meant i me the two men, assisted, it is believed, by the villagers of Dreen, maltreated Flinn most brutally. lie was first knocked down by the blow of a large stone, which cut him dreadfully on the head; and, when he was on the ground, he was savagely beaten, and so much injured that no hopes are ente r t a i ne d o f his recovery. TIIE REGISTRIES. I.'OROUGII OF NEI ItY.—MoNDAY,OCT. 21.—T. Jones, Esq., assistant-barrister, took his seat on the bench this morning at ten o'clock. Lord Newry and Mourne, the Tory member for the borough, was present. The borough registry was proceeded with, when there appeared fur Liberals 43, Tories, 18—Liberal majority, 25. COUNTY OF LoUTR.—The Quartor Sessions for this division of the county commenced yesterday (Tuesday) in the Record Court, before Michael O'Shaughnessy, Esq., assistant-barrister. The first business entered upon was the registry for the county of Louth, when one Con ervative was re-registered. BOROUGH OF DUNDALK.—The following were the numbers registered :—Liberals, 15; Tories, 3—Ma jority, 12. COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX.—At the adjourned meet ing of the magistracy yesterday, the report of the chaplain to the liolise of Correction was read, stating that during the past year many prisoners on their dis charge had found themselves provided with the means of obtaining an honest livelihood, while many also were in the Refuge for the Destitute learning trades, and ex pressing the greatest gratitude for the benefit thus con ferred upon them. The report also adverted to the strong facilities the existing system of pawning offered to the poorer classes for dishonestly disposing of articles. Ur. Pownall congratulated the county on the fact that while since 1831 the population had increased a quarter of a million, crime appeared to have diminished, at least so far as it was brought under the cognizance of the magistracy. The number of persons charged with in toxication was less by 18,000 than in the preceding year. He attributed this mainly to the extension of religious instruction as well in the prisons as elsewhere.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. Rotch also expressed his satisfaction at the spread of temperance. The surgeon stated that the mortality had been less last year than in any former year. There had only been ten deaths among nearly 10,000 persons. The state of the prisons appeared equally satisfactory to the magistracy, who expressed their obligations on this subject to Mr. Sergeant Adams. millions. The rental mo:.

MEREWETHER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Surely the Queen is coming in full state to open the Royal Exchange, or else what use is the state carriage and all those enormously splendid ap pointments—if we are to verge down into plain down right democracy at once ? Surely the household troops, and every other means the Government has at its disposal, should be brought into action on the present occasion. I am sure the whole of the people will be much disappointed if this event is to be carried through at a railroad pace, merely for the sake of getting credit of it, instead of being a national event in the history of the first city of the world. Pray say a word or two on the subject in your powerful paper.----Yours, &c. CIVI S. 24th October, 1844. N. MUD - AY EVENING, CII:OBER RAILWAYS IN IRELAND. (From Herapath's Railway Magazine of 12th inst The rage for railways is now 'extending itself THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE CITY. Yesterday application was made to the Lord Mayor, by the Masters of several of the Livery Companies; to call out by precept the whole of those communities to erect booths in St. Paul's- churchyard, or to form themselves in line in the streets through which the procession will pass. It is recorded, that when Queen Elizabeth . visited the City, the. Livery Companies being , drawn out in line from Temple-bar to the Guildhall, her Majesty thought proper to dismiss the military attendants ; and that when the. Spanish Ambassador said to the Queen, " Where are your Majesty's guards ? " she replied, pointing to the faithful citizens, "these are my guards." There is no doubt that if time had sufficed, the whole of the Livery Companies would, in the present day, have been anxious to testify their loyalty by a similar demonstration. The LORD MAYOR, however, felt and expresed that, with the limited interval which would elapse before the Queen's, entry, there would not be sufficient time to make the requisite arrangements. His Lordship issued the following letter, and it is understood that all Liverymen desirous of availing themselves of the_ opportunity of being present, must apply for tickets to their respective Halls to pass the barriers on the morning of the day : " Sir,—l am directed by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor to inform the Masters of the several Livery Companies, that, although his Lordship does not deem it expedient to issue any precept to the Companies upon the occasion of her Majesty honouring the citizens with her presence, his Lordship does not de sire to check the disposition which some of the Com panies have expressed, to do honour to the occasion by erecting stands in St. Paul's-churchyard for the accommodation of their body." The Lord Mayor and Committee ':of Aldermen have passed the accompanying resolution :—" If it is the wish of any members of your body to occupy the standings in the Poultry, I have to request that I may be informed, on or before Friday, at twelve o'clock, of the number of the tickets which you will require, as no more will be issued than the space will conveniently allow.—l am, Sir, your obedient ser vant, " H. A. MEREWETHER. " Guildhall, Oct. 23, 1844." At a meeting of the Committee of Aldermen, Oct. 23, 1844, in order to prevent accidents in the narrow parts of the streets through which the procession will pass, It was resolved,—That the pavement on each side of Mansion-house-street and the Poultry be railed off from Charlotte-row to the corner of Bucklersbury, and from the corner of Princes-street to the corner of the Old Jewry; and that no person be permitted to remain on the pavement within those limits from seven o'clock in the morning of the 28th, till after her Majesty shall have quitted the Exchange, unless such members of the Livery Companies as shall produce to the police in attendance a ticket signed by the Com missioner. MEREWETHER. The following was yesterday evening circulated in the City : MAGNAY, MAYOR. Orders and Regulations by the Court of Mayor and Aldermen, for keeping clear the streets through which her Majesty passes, from Temple-bar to the Exchange, on Monday, the 28th day of October, 1844, both upon her Majesty's passage and upon her return. 1. That the several streets between Bishopsgate street and Temple -bar be closed at seven o'clock in the morning ; and that no cart, waggon, or other carriage, be allowed to remain therein under any pre tence whatever after eight o'clock. 2. That no carriage be admitted into any of the streets between Temple -bar and Bishopsgate-street after seven o'clock, except those going to the Ex change (who must produce their tickets of invitation), or who come within regulation No. 4. 3. That no person be allowed to pass or remain in the Poultry, Mansion-house -street, Cornhill, Bar tholomew-lane, or Threadneedle-street, after seven o'clock, except inhabitants and others going to their houses in those streets, who will be permitted to pass for that purpose until nine o'clock, after which time no persons whatever will be admitted into those streets. 4. No carriages will be allowed to enter the line of procession between Temple-bar and the Poultry, nor to remain, after ha v i ng se t d own th e i r company, under any pretence whatever, except ,with an invita tion to the Exchange. 5.

Sir,—On the architrave of the north façade of the Royal Exchange are three inscriptions insculpt in re lief, each divided by a simple moulding. The one•on the left of the spectator is the common City motto, " DOMINE. DIRIGE. Nos," and that on the right is " HONOR. DEO ;" both of which inscriptions every passer-by, though unacquainted with Latin, can readily comprehend. But the motto in the central compartment, " FORTVN. A. MY," appears to puzzle thousands, and the Latin scholar more than any other. By some it has been deciphered "Fortuna ad Murat" (prosperity to these walls). But the truth is, that it is not Latin, but Norman French, a n d was th e motto of Sir Thomas Gresham's family arms, "Fortune a moi" (prosperity to my house); or, literally, "For tune to me." In old Norman French the termination i or of is usually, written y ; the preposition a is not accented ; and the omission of the final e in fortune (leaving it doubtful whether it is Latin or French) conduces to the general puzzle.—Yours, &c., P.

Deceased was in her 36th year, and her husband in his 22d. Mrs. Baker, landlady of deceased, examined yesterday, said she saw her on the evening of the 3d instant, and that. she was then "nicely." On the following morning she saw her again, and she was then in a state of insen sibility. On Thursday last she became conscious, and called witness, and said, " Oh, my back, my Wyk ; Henry has kicked me." On Saturday, about an hour b, fore her death, she again "rallied," and made use of similar ex presi.iens to her father, in the presence of Mr. Fisher, a surgeon, and the nurses. _ _ _ Mr. Baker, husband of the last witness, corroborated her testimony as to the expressions uttered by deceased on Thursday 1-st implicating her husband. The CORONER, this being the whole of the evidence, told the jury that the expressions of deceased relative to the violence of her husband were not evidence unless she uttered them in his presence, or when she thought she was dying. As it was not proved that she so uttered them, he begged the jury to dismiss them from their minds. The room was then cleared, and to the astonizhment of everybody the jury deliberated for seven hours, that is from five to twelve o'clock, and even then 'had not come to a conclusion. (LATEST PARTICULARS. THIS DAT.) The Jury, at two o'clock this morning, returned their verdict, which will not, however, be made public till to morrow at one o'clock, when tho witnesses are summoned to be present. It is, however, currently reported, and be lieved in the neighbourhocd, that a verdict of manslaugh ter has been agreed on end will be officially returned.
