The removal of Fort Clarence Military Lunatic Asy lum from Fort Clarence, near Rochester, commenced on Thursday. On Friday the first division, consisting of twenty military insane officers, were taken away in con veyances en route for the establishment which has re cently been fitted up at Shorn Cliff, near Dover, as a temporary asylum for the accommodation of the military , lunatic patients. On Saturday the second division, com prising forty-five insane soldiers, with six insane women, proceeded by the same route. It is supposed ,that tne establishment will remain at Shorn Cliff for about three years, at which period it is expected the new asylum, about to be built near the Bluebell-hill, on the Maidstone road, about three miles from Rochester, will be completed.

The cutter Lufra, belonging to Lord John Scott, has since been hauled up on the patent-slip in the same yard, for the purpose of having a thorough overhaul and refit. Mr. hatsey built this beautiful yacht about twelve years ago, and notwithstanding her age, she has been found, after a general survey, to be quite sound, her copper has been taken off, and she is to be newly coppered and a re gular refit. There is a new yacht, of about 50 tons, building in the same yard for Mr. Gray, of Liverpool, and from all ap pearance bids fair to be a clipper ; she is in a very for ward state, and will be launched next month. The cutter Flower of Yarrow, belonging to the Mar quis of Conyngham, will, it is said, proceed shortly to Harwich with her noble owner.

Her Majesty did not leave the Castle yesterday, but retired at once to her ,apartments, and dined in private with the Prince, as it was considered advisable that her Majesty should enjoy some repose after the very great fatigue which she has recently undergone. Prince Albert, however, walked about the grounds and explored some of the precincts of the Castle. . His Royal Highness ex pressed himself much delighted with his new abode, and gazed with admiration at , some of the most remark able features in the surrounding scenery, as they were pointed out to him by his noble host. The Prince also anticipates great pleasure from the deer-stalking, which, it is expected, mill take place to-morrow in the Duke of Athol's forest of Glen Tilt, adjoining the noble forest of Brae Mar, which is now rented by the Duke of Leeds. It is expected that her Ma jesty 41 accompany the Prince in his sporting expe dition, as there is an excellent carriage drive through the grounds of Blair Athol], which penetrates for 12 miles through the Glen Tilt into the heart of the forest. As evening closed in, large bonfires were lighted on the surrounding hills ; the rocky sides and steep acclivities of Ben-y-vrackie glared with the red flame, and the startled stags on the contiguous haughs and braes were roused from their peace ful slumbers and raised their antlered heads to gaze with mute astonishment at the fiery invader of their wild domains. At eleven o'clock last night the fire yet gleamed from these magnificent volcanoes ; but this morning the huge hills awake like giants, refreshed, having cooled their burning brows in the morning air after their revelry of the preceding evening. The mountainous sum mits of Ben-y-vrackie are now illuminated by the morning sun, but the hoary head of the mountain is at present concealed by the clouds, which will, how ever, have been swept away before her Majesty walks forth to view her Scottish dominions. According to present arrangementa, her Majesty will remain here for three weeks, and may per- haps prolong her sojourn for a month should the fine weather continue ; but it is understood that the duration of her Majesty's visit is contingent upon communications from abroad. Lord Aberdeen and Lord Liverpool will remain here for the pre sent. The Ladies in Waiting and Lord Charles Wel lesley will be in attendance on her Majesty. The Prince is attended by Sir Edward. Bowater. The attendants of the Princess Royal comprise the whole of the inmates of Blair Athol'. Should the Prince feel sufficiently recovered from the effects of his recent journey, he will avail himself of the fine weather, and leave Blair Atholl shortly after breakfast, to have some grouse shooting in the adjoining mountains. The Scots Greys have been ordered back to their head quarters, and the several detachments which formed her Majesty's escort, will, in the course of the morning, leave the quite homesteads where they have been billetted for the last few days. As her Majesty wishes to dispense with the tram mels of State during her visit, the services of the Scots Greys will not be required, but Lord Glen lyon's stalwart band of Highlanders will form a guard of honour for her Majesty during her present visit, and the bright claymores are now gleaming in th e sun at every entrance to the Castle.—Post.

A train of about 2,500, and another of about 1,000, from Sheffield and Rotherham to York. -A train of 6,500, men, women, and children, from Leeds to Hull ; the latter trains at proportionately the same low fares. By way of experiment, some months since the Directors of the Chester and' Birkenhead directed that double tickets should be issued, so that passen gers might go from Birkenhead to Chester by a train at twenty minutes past ten o'clock each morning, and return in the evening of the same day at half-past eight o'clock ; the fare there and back being only one shilling more than the usual fare one way. Some weeks after the same plan was adopted from Chester to Birkenhead and back, and at the same fares. The results have far exceeded anything that was expected.—Railway Chronicle, RAILWAY RETURNS.

Each day they have been taken out in the morning and afternoon for the benefit of the sea air. On Thursday morning the Royal cortege, consisting of a carriage and four and a carriage and pair, preceded by an out-rider, proceeded along the East Cliff towards Rottingdean, and in the afternoon crossed the Race-bill from the Lewes-road to the East Cliff. Yesterday morn ing the royal children were driven to the entrance of the Chain Pier, where the Prince of Wales and the Princess Alice alighted with Lady Lyttelton and walked for some time, and the infant Prince 4lfred was carried by his nurse. And in the afternoon the drive over the Downi was repeated. A messenger from the Admiralty arrived yesterday afternoon, soon after five o'clock, with a letter from the Queen to Lady Lyttleton, and left shortly afterwards with an answer from her Ladyship.—Brighton herald. THE LATE LION. LADY 13ROORE PECHELL.--The funeral took place on Friday, the body of the deceased being removed from the family residence in Hill-street, for interment at Hampton. The funeral cortege con sisted of a hearse and three mourning coaches, followed by the private carriage of the Duke of Norfolk and other relatives and friends of the deceased lady. Among the mourners were the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Arun del and Surrey, Hon. Captain' Pechell, &c. ENGLAND AND EGYPT.----We are assured that a treaty, the origin of which may be referred to 1840, is on the eve of being concluded, by which England will obtain possession of the port of Suez, free passage from Alexandria to that port, and other advantages of im portance in Egypt and Syria. This treaty, to which France is said to be no party, is guaranteed by Russia, Austria, and Prussia. We know not by what intrigue the King of the French has. been prevented from par ticipating in it, but have reason to believe that Eng land has had nothing to do with her exclusion.—Herald. LIEUTENANT VIBART'S NEW MACHINE POWER. — Our agricultural friends will remember that we noticed this new and truly wonderful power, invented by Lieu tenant Vibart, of Chilliswood House, near this town, in our paper of the week before last. We had yesterday, through the kindness of Mr. Richards, iron-founder, an opportunity of again inspecting the invention, which has been further improved, and which may now be considered to have reached the acme of perfection. It _ _ . was applied to a thrashing machine, also of Lieutenan Vibart's construction, and which affords another proo of the splen&ur of h is inventive genius, and the ease and rapidity with which the latter machine was worked was wonderful. We are informed that it is capable of thrashing sixty stitches of wheat per hour, and this it accomplishes in the most perfect manner, not a single grain being left in the ear, while the straw is thrown aside wholly uninjured. It may be worked with ease by one man and a boy, and is unquestionably one of the most surprising, as well as valuable, novelties in me chanical skill that has ever been submitted to public notice.—Somerset County Gazette. INTERESTING DISCOVERT.—A short time since a boat went down from Newquay to the Cow-and-Calf Rock, which is more generally known by the name of Carter's Rock, in search of native guano. In prosecut ing their search, they accidentally came upon a large flat stone, and, on uncovering and lifting it, they found deposited in a grave encircled by slate stones, the skull and bones of a human being, which, on examination, proved to be those of a male. The grave strongly re sembles those discovered in the neighbourhood of the old church, in the sands, Saint Piran. Some doubt has arisen where the body of Saint Piran was deposited ; there is a chance, therefore, that this is the identical body, since there is scarcely a doubt that this rock at one time was joined to the main land. The grave may be found about a foot under the surface, and on the south side of the rock. Had the bones been found on the sur face, we might safely infer that it was the body of some poor unfortunate mariner ; but the grave is rudely per fect.— West Briton. As the Aberystwith mail was on Thursday returning to Shrewsbury, it was discovered that one of the wheels was in such a state, owing to the " bush " breaking, that the coach could not proceed, This occurred at the Half way-house between NVelsh Pool and Shrewsbury ; the guard proceeded to town with the mails, in a gig, and a coach was dispatched to the Half-way-house to bring in the passengers, who arrived here shortly after nine o'clock. It was most fortunate that the state of the wheel was noticed in time, otherwise the coach must in vitably have been upset.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. 198 3,102 1,211 784 1,137 185 2,141 826 562 1,092 289 2,630 1,597 1,023 8,459 1,553 15,053 4,993 17,484 1,120 5,558 742 7,614 763 3,255 6,702 9,105 465 1,567 1,133 5,668 6,085 504 569 4,393 639 443 DONCASTER RACES.

ILLUMINATION IN GLASGOW FOR THE LIBERATOR. —Pa Friday evening, about nine o'clock, a number of repealers, in Bridgegate-street and neighbourhood, com menced lighting up their windows, in honour of Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers, on the occasion of the reversal of their illegal sentence, by the House of Lords, and by ten o'clock the illumination in that part of the city became general. In Cowcaddens, also, the news of the decision had the same inspiriting effect, and heart : ) , rejoicing in and out of doors where everywhere mani fested. A great p art of St. Enoch's Wynd, particularly o er f e P be e rn r g, l‘ i i n ‘C o a n b e e 'la E P land,were brilliantly no fewer' than 300 SUICIDE DT HANGING. — On Friday morning, c t ill h a t t e n md p li r en o sa p bt e eu r dr t , i n e tin g s h shortly after eight o'clock, Thomas Noy, ago' fifty, an officer formerly holding a situation in the Recruiting office, Duke-street, Westminster, committed suicide at his residence, Tower-street, Waterloo-road; where he resided with his daughter. He had been in a despond ing state for some time, owing to his being discharged from his situation for some misconduct. Not coming down to his breakfast at his usual hour, his daughter went into his bedroom to call him. On entering she found him suspended by the neck with a rope, fastened to a hook in the vrall. A surgeon was sent • for, who found that life Was quite extinct. His body was quite *arm. A letter was found near the deceased, addressed to the Coroner for Surrey, which is in the possession of the police. INCENDIARISM. BIGGLESWADE, SEPT. 11.—The little village of Arsley has been the scene of another incendiary fire, attended by the most disastrous results, as the great bulk of the property destroyed belongs to persons of the poorest class, some of whom are literally without a home. The fire broke out at midnight, and appears to have originated in a hay rick close to a beer-shop kept by a man named Livett. The spot was sur rounded by a number of cottages, the inmates of which had long before retired to rest. There was scarcely a breath of air, but owing to the hay being thoroughly dry the flames spread to the adjacent buildings before the arrival of the engines, which were obtained from Biggleswadc, Ilenlow, and Hitchin, all some miles distant from the scene of conflagration. There was also much difficulty in securing a supply of water, for which, in rural districts, no provision is ever made. The Rev. H. Smith, Mr. N. G. Edmonds, a large land owner residing in the neighbourhood, together with Superintendent Blunden, of the local police, were early on the spot, directing the operations of the fire men, and encouraging the labourers to exertion. The fire, however, was not got under until nearly four o'clock, having totally destroyed six small houses, be sides seriously damaging several others. From exa minations subsequently made, there is no doubt that it was the act of an incendiary. The flames were ob served in the first instance by constable Link on going round his beat; and he states that, although he kept a vigilant look out, he saw no person near the spot. The part of the stack fired was furthest from the beer-shop, and could not possibly have been the result of accident. The presumption is that it was peaused by some chemical preparation, which was de posited in the hay at an early hour in the evening. the occupants of the cottages in their terror were unable to save any portion of their furniture, all of which was consumed, together with their harvest gleanings.—Cambridge Chronicle. EATON SOCON, SEPT. 11.—Last Tuesday evening some vile miscreant set fire to a large stack of wheat straw (the growth of 1843), standing in the centre of the rick-yard of J. 11. Day, Esq., in this village. The flames threw their unearthly glare over the neighbourhood for miles around, and thousands has tened to the spot. The first persons present put a large cloth over the barley-rick, close to windward, and wetted it; those were soon aided by the Eaton Socon and St. Neot's engines, and thus the devouring element was confined to the large straw-stack, which was all consumed. Happily the evening was remark ably calm, otherwise it is probable no efforts could have saved the entire homestead. We understand Mr. Day is insured in the County-office, and that no suspicion attaches to any individual.—Cambridge Chronicle. On Thursday afternoon, about one o'clock, a fira was discovered on the farm premises at Lymage, oc cupied by Mr. Philip Armstrong, of Graffham. It was first observed by a labourer, who had left his work in the barn for the purpose of fetching some water for his dinner, burning at the corner of a straw stack placed round the yard, and communicating with the outbuildings of the barns. The most efficient assistance was rendered on the alarm being given, and by judiciously cutting off the communication by pull ing down an outbuilding the damage was confined to the destruction of the straw and the outhouse. had the flames once got fairly hold of the buildings the destruction of property must have been great—the whole of the produce of the farm standing on the spot. At present the loss is confined to about 301.; insured in the Suffolk Fire-office. How the fire originated is not known, but from happening in the middle of the day, with but few persons on the premises, it is one of those cases where the most searching investigation ought to take place.—Cambridge Chronicle. INCENDIARY FIRE.—We regret to have again to record the occurrence of an incendiaryy fire in Suffolk, which occurred on Wednesday evening last. Between seven and eight o'clock flames were observed issuing from a barn upon an off-hand farm belonging to Mr. John Phillips, in the parish of Barton, near Bury. The entire contents of the barn were destroyed, con sisting of 2.00 coombs of oats, and thirty of wheat, a large quantity of straw, together with a shed contain ing a new broad-wheel waggon and various other implements. We believe the property was insured. — Cambridge Chronicle. FIRE AT BROOM.-0a Sunday afternoon, about three o'clock, a fire broke out from a pig- sty in the occupation of Mr. Sells, at Broom beds. The flames issued from two different parts, and there is no doubt it was the wilful act of some wicked person. There were several buildings connected with the sty, and if active exertions had not been rendered, a large amount of property would have been destroyed on this farm as well as on the adjoining premises, belonging to E. Lindsell, Esq. The fire was extinguished before it destroyed the sty.—Cambridge Chronicle. EFFECTS OF TRADE.— Contrary to established custom, most of the mills in Huddersfield have already begun to light up. This arrangement has usually come into operation immediately after Honley feast, a period which is a fortnight distant. Manufactories still con tinue to spring up in Huddersfield and its neighbour hood. Several of the first magnitude are at present in course of erection.—Leeds Mercury. _ LISKEARD. — On Sunday last the Rev. F. Todd re sumed his services i'a the church here, after his suspen sion by the Bishop, for omitting apart of the burial ser vice.— West Briton. MILITARY PUNISIIMENT.—A Vienna letter of the 28th ult. relates that a few days ago, on the plain of Sohmelz, near that city, while a regiment of ions was at exercise, a captain being dissatisfied with the manner in which two of the privates of his company had per formed, called them out of the ranks, and ordered to be inflicted upon each five strokas with a cane. A crowd of persons, who had assembled to see the exercises, mur mured, and hooted the officer, because, according to the articles of war, this was a punishment not to be given in public. One of the two soldiers, however, imme diately stripped, lay down on his face, and received the e five strokes on his bare back. The second man was pre paring to submit, but the populace became so exas perated that they began to pelt the officer with stones, and showed a disposition to proceed to more violent in terference. On this the colonel ordered the regiment to fall in, and marched it off to the barracks, followed by the crowd, shouting, " Long live the King! No more corporal punishments!" 'When the regiment was back in its quarters, the captain was put under arrest, and will be brought to a court-martial.—Galignani. THE WINDSOR AND ETON HUMANE SOCIETY. — SWIMMING AND DIVING MATCIIES.—A few days since the members of this Society gave a variety of prizes to be contended for on the Thames, above Windsor bridge, by lads from twelve to sixteen years of age, as an encouragemeet to induce them to perfect themselves in the useful knowledge of swimming and diving. The distances were marked by flags on either side, and in boats on various parts of the river. The banks were lined with spectators to witness the several trials of skill, which were superintended by the Bev. Stephen llawtrey, of Eton College. At the conclusion of the matches, which were admirably contested, the judges and all those who had contended for the laurels (losers and winners) proceeded to Porney's school, at Eton, where the prizes were delivered to the suc cessful com petitorsime by the Rev. S. llawtrey , who, at the same , delivered an excellent addre ss, ex p laining that thet ob jects the Windsor and Eton humane Society has n mew are that there may not be wanting, gency, persons in every way n cases of e competenti to render assis tance to their fellow-creaturesinthe hour of need. The prises consisted of the Society's medals for the best swimmers, divers, &c. ; and other prizes in money, A " MAN-FACED" BIRD! — At Waiapu, in N ew Zealand, the natives speak of a monstrous animal, which is called a Moa, and which, in general appearance, is deScribed to r esemble an imniens o e sse d s o s m ing est a ic ,, c f o a c e l e ;, il w k i e th a the difference, how ever, of its p man ;" to live upon air, and to be guarded by two enor mous tuataras, who, Argus-like, kept incessant watch while the moa slept. The Rev. W. Colenso, in the sum mer of 1841-2, obtained some moa bones, from which it is calculated that this extraordinary bird must have mea sured in altitude, when alive, at the lowest rate of esti mation, from 14 to 16 feet ! Thus, it must, have formed an enormous feathered monster, well worthy, from its gigantic size, of being classed with the Megalosaurus of Buckland, and the Mastodon of Cuvier. A mechanic, who had been residing at Cloudy Bay, in the Middle Island, asserted that this bird now existed in the high hills near Cloudy Bay ; and that one had been seen by two Americans, who had gone to shoot it ; but were so petrified with horror when they beheld the monster that they were utterly unable to fire on it. Truly, this is a ram avis in terri.y. "ERRING FISHERY in SCOTLAND. FISHERROW, FRIDAT....-011T port for the last fort night has presented a scene of unusual bustle and activity. The herring made their appearance off Inchkeith on the 23d ult. Their whereabouts was made known to our fishing community in rather a singular manner. Two young lads, the sons of a widow, had been left behind on the departure of the others for the fishing ground, in the expectation of being enabled to catch haddocks for their own and their mother's support. All their attempts, however, had failed, and the old woman began to suspect that, the haddocks being entirely gone, some other fish had taken their place. She, acting on this suspicion, ferretted out two or three old nets from their repose in a garret, and sent out the lads again to try their luck. The next' morning they returned, to the old woman's surprise and gratification, with five thousand herrings, which they sold at three shillings per hundred. This lucky capture immediately got wind, and the boats came in rapidly from the eastward, and a most steady and most plentiful take has been the consequence. The shoal was close in with the rock, and very often the nets were shot in two fathoms water. The sea around presented an oily appearance, and so nu merous were they that the nets were borne down by the weight of the fish as they went over the boats side. From this plentiful take, their price was much reduced. At Dunbar they were selling- at 11s. a crap: One of our most active curers has nearly filled a thousand barrels, and at Cockenzie 500 barrels were cured in one day. They have everywhere met with a ready market, and have afforded to all classes a cheap and plentiful supply of food. Other countries will also benefit by their abundanee. Several French vessels from the ports of Dunkirk, Boulogne, Dieppe, Fecamp, Caen, and Gravelines, have been during the whole time off the Inch, fishing with their own boats, purchasing from our fishermen, and curing their car goes on board. It is not often at this season that the herring have come so high up in our Firth. In 1793 a similar shoal made their appearance off Cockenzie, and about seven years ago another equally plentiful, in the bay of liirkaldy. BERWICK.—The take throughout this week has been the best the fishermen have had during the season. The shoal from which our fishermen ob tained their supply last week, lying to the north of the harbour, at the latter part of it removed fur ther in the bay ; of this circumstance the Eyemouth men were apprised by the crew of a "vessel, and proceed ing to the place on Friday last, were amply rewarded. This induced our men to proceed to the same place throughout the week, and with the exception of this morning thererhave .hegin 4 girt quatAitiekof herrings caught; While there are -instances of boats having on eaci morning only, one craw, oihers again have had as many as forty, and in some few cases as many as sixty. Last night the boats proceeded as usual ; a change of weather, however, took place, and the most of them thought proper to return in the course of the night. A thick mist, with an easterly wind, rendering it extremely dangerous to continue at sea, excited considerable anxiety for those re maining out. . During the morning there were still three boats out, and as the thickness of the atmosphere prevented them knowing their position or finding out the harbour, guns have been fired by the Skylark cutter brig, in the port ; and the bell at Spittal chapel has been ringing throughout the morning to assist them in finding out their course. The fishing will in all probability close next week ; some boats have two hundred crans for the season, while others have below one hundred. WICK, SEPT. s.—The fishing may be said to be fairly over fur a season. The total catch for the week will not add much more than three-fourths of a gran to the general average for the season, which is about ninety•nine crans, or eight crane lower than that of last year. The highest take any day this week has been 28 crans, and the quality has continued to be of the finest description. Notwithstanding the amount of the general average, we do not remember of a fishing so extremely irregular; for, while many of the boats have exceeded 300 crans, a considerable number have not reached 30. All the south boats have left for home—those belonging to the West Highlands and Orkney are rapidly leaving, and the home boats are being drawn up as fast as possible. It is not likely that any further attempts will be made ' this season. One hundred and twenty-four vessels • have been entered at Pultneytown for exportation, and many more will be required ere the total quan tity caught be carried off. It may be safely affirmed, that the general take over the whole coast is far below an average one; for, while the fishing at Wick has been good, there has been a considerable falling off at other stations. The consequence has been a brisk demand for fish, in all quarters, at a rise in prices. 17s. 6d has been freely given in Wick for crown brand, and 17s. without any brand, and in several cases these have been refused by the curers, who seem confident of a further rise. His Excellency Baron Brunnow has left Ashburnham House for Brighton. The American newspapers calculate that during nine months; Mr.-Maeready, the tragedian, has cleared 65,000 dollars, or 14,000/. ; others say that from -85,000 o 40,000 dollars is'niarer the truth. VESSEL RUN Dowri.—A fishing lugger, belong ing to Peel, called the Utility, John Collister, master, has been missing for some weeks, supposed to have been run down, whilst riding at her nets ; it has since trans pired that this fearful apprehension of her fate has been too well founded. The unfortunate vessel was sunk, in the ditrkness of the night by a steamer, on her passage from Velfast to Liverpool, and the whole of the crew , seven in number '" in the depths of the ocean buried."- Four were married, and had families.—lllinx Liberal. NOTHING SO CERTAIN.— [From our Paris Cor respondent.]—We are informed by b. remarkably fine officer in the National-Einards—(the gentleman, by-the by, is also a remarkably small dealer in coke and char coal)•=that, in the event of a war, it is intended to pla card the Paris fortifications with " lists of impositions upon English visitors," under the conviction that, if they could not keep the British out of Paris, nothing else would.—Punch, 822 7,732 1,836 3,840 9,402 11,093 1,030 1,712 47 2,079 6,9 M 881 6,270 879 STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, SEPT. 13.—A fair average business has been done in f ore i gn woo l s. t hi s week, and prices continue very firm. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 13.—We have no material alteration in the prices of wool this week, the sales being much as usual. LEEDS.—There has been rather less business done in heavy winter goods this week, but shawls and fancy cloakings in good patterns have been in brisk demand. Heavy tweeds have also been much inquired for; on the whole the market may be rated at a fair average for the season. Prices are about the same, and the stocks in the Halls are very low. In the warehouses there has not been quite so much business done as for the last few weeks, but it is expected that sales will be more lively towards the end of the present month. BRADFORD MARKET, TIIURMDAY.—The home mer chants have been active to-day, the foreign merchants not so, but upon the whole we think there has been a fair business dune, but not equal to some former years at this season. We cannot learn that there is any alte ration either in demand or prices of yarn since our last week's report. The dullness complained of in wool for several weeks past still continues, nor can we learn that the stock in the market is on the decrease. Prices are tolerably firm, which is occasioned by the fact that no new stock can be had from the growing districts on more favourable terms than those on which they are now held. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY ETENING.—Things have been rather drooping in our cloth market this week, and that for most descriptions ; and as the commercial news has not transpired by the delivery of letters, little can be hazarded for the future as to the goods adapted for those markets till the contents are known. Our home trade is most satisfactory, so far as demand can make it so ; and our printers and dyers were never more busy. The opinion is becoming general that wages throughout the cotton district will be advanced. Yarns are without de cided change, but an immense business is doing.—Leeds Mercury. THE LATE FATAL COLLISION IN THE IRISH CHANNEL. With reference to the loss of the brig Parana, which was run down by the steamer Iron Duke on Tuesday morning, an account of which has been published in The Sun, the Dublin Evening Mail publishes the fol lowing We subjoin a particular account of the accident. The letter is addressed to Mr. llovvell, the Secretary of the City - of Dublin Steam-packet Company, by the agent in Liverpool. " Liverpool, Sept. 10. Dear Sir,—lt is with sincere regret I have to in form you the Iron Duke came in contact this morning, about 10 minutes past 12, when off Puffin Island, with a brig, the Parana, Wilson, for Montreal, and run her down ; six hands, including the captain, perished. I understand there was a boy belonging to Dublin, of the name of Crawford, on board of her. . _ " The Duke appears to have struck her right stem on, and must have cut her nearly in two. The brig went down immediately, a few minutes only intervening from the time she was first seen to the time she was struck and sunk. " "Ile Duke appears to have sustained comparatively little damage ; her bowsprit is gone, a plate on her lar board bow stove in, which caused the force compartment to fill with water ; her cutwater bent, and her engine damaged. " I cannot learn that any further damage has been sustained ; all seems as tight and firm as the first day she started. _ _ _ " The bulkhead shows the value of adopting such precautions, for it is very probable that had she not had them she would have gone down. "rhe Duke was put en the gridiron to see whether all was right, but as it will be more convenient to have her in the graving dock, she will go in to-morrow, no time being lost to repair the damage with all possible dispatch. " I have had all the crew who could say anything about the accident, with Mr. North, for him to take their depositions. All concur in stating the brig had no light up, the only, light on board being that in the cabin. One cause, and, perhaps, the chief one, assigned on board the Duke for not being able to see the brig is, that the vessel was going right before the wind, with the smoke thick before them, led it was only when she came within five or six lengths of herself that the brig was seen. Our lo.ok-out man, a most-in telligent fellow, passed the word 'immediately " Sail right a-head," when the second mate, whose watch it was, cried out to the man at the helm " Port, port— hard a-port," a seaman running aft to assist at the same time. The mate, almost in the same breath, called out to the engineer "Stop her, reverse," and while the engines were being reversed she struck her. The first mate came up instantly, and when he saw the brig was sinking fast he called out" Stop her, go on-a-head, by which they providentially saved one or two men. Captain Williams, too, was immediately on deck, and all appears to have been done which could be done under the unfortunate circumstances, as to putting the boats out to look after the crew of the sunken ship, and rowing about the place for nearly an hour.—Yours truly, " J. K. ROUNTH WAITE. " To P. Howell, Esq.' " WOOLWICH, FRIDAY. RETURN OF THE BLACK EAGLE STEAM•VESSEL.•—• It will be recollected that, in the description of the royal progress, the Black Eagle steam-vessel, under the command of Captain the Earl of Ilardwicke, was stated to be several miles astern of the royal yacht on reaching the Nore. On proceeding to sea, Cap tain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence made signals for the Black Eagle to advance, and delayed the progress of the royal steam yacht until both were opposite each other. His Lordship then made signals to start both at the same time, to ascertain which of the vessels would first reach Dundee. The Black Eagle goon showed her superiority over the royal yacht a s si sea-going steamer, having gained three miles in six hours against her fast opponent. The Black Eagle continued a-head at the same rate throughout the voyage, and consequently was the first to reach the- Frith of Tay and Dundee. The Black Eagle "re turned to Woolwich shortly before ten o'clock thi s forenoon, under the command of Captain the Earl of Hardwicke. MILITARY FLOGGlNG.—Yesterday morning, at a quarter to seven o'clock, the troops were mustered on the garrison parade to hear the proceedings of a general court-martial read against two gunners of the Roval"Regiment of Artillery, named Smith and , the crimes alleged against them being, that of striking a non-commissioned officer of the same regiment whilst in the execution of his duty ; also, desertion, selling their regimental necessaries, and robbing a comrade. The prisoners were found guilty of the charges preferred against them, and were sen tenced to receive one hundred and fifty lashes each, the finding of which sentence her Majesty finally ap proved of. The troops were then marched off to the rear of the Royal Artillery barracks, where the un fortunate men were ordered to strip, and were then tied up to the triangles, and the horrors of the scene commenced. The unfortunate culprits received the number awarded them without imploring mercy, though their sufferings were truly awful to behold. The men were then conveyed to the Ordnance Medi cal Hospital to be cured. A number of other gun ners of the Royal Artillery, who had been tried by court-martial for offences, were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment in the Penitentiary, and were marched off under escort for that destination. ENGLISH AND FOREIGN RAILWAYS.—In the evi dence before the Select Committee of last session, Mr. Laing, of the Board of Trade, stated that the average railway charges in Belgium, for 100 miles, are for the first, second, and third-classes respectively, 10s., 7s. 6d., and 4s. Bd. ; in Germany, 125., Bs. 6d., and ss. 6d. ; in France, 155., 10s., and Bs. 6cl. ; and in England, 255., 175., and 10s. As one cause of the comparatively high rate in Englund, he states that the average cost of rail ways in this country is three or four times that of the German lines ; double that of the Belgian, and greater by one-half than the cost of the French. Mr. Laing is of opinion that the advantage is in favour of the Eng lish in regard to speed ; but that in point of accommo dation the second and third-class passengers in Belgium, and on the Continent generally, have the decided advan- Lige over those of the same classes in England.—Railway Record.

The thunder was loud, the lightning vivid, and the storm, which appeared to come from the south-east, continued until about four o'clock, when it passed away in the opposite direction. The electric fluid struck a dwelling-house at Tregonissey, about a mile distant from St. Austell, occupied by a man named Elam! Howett, and in its course went through the roof, destroyed the w ood work of a bed, and then passed to the ground floor, where it destroyed the clock, set fire to a rush mat at the bottom of the stairs, and so severe was the shock, that it threw down and smashed all the earthenware that stood on the dressers. It then made 1 its way through the window, destroying all the glass, except two squares, which remained unhurt, struck the pig-sty, and killed the pig , which was worth about fort y shillings. nowett, who has a wife and two children, was at his work, his wife and the oldest child were in the garden, a little distance from the house, and the youngest child was in a cradle in the kitchen.
