This Company is established for the manufacture and sale of the Concentrated Essences of Tea and Coffee under Staite's Patent, by licence from the Patentee. The advantages peculiar to the process for which this patent has been granted, are very numerous ; but among the most prominent is this, that while the properties of the material are completely ex tracted, its available quantity is augmented, and its virtues improved. The distinctive qualities of the Essence obtained are, the retention of the identical flavour and fragrance of the particular Tea or Coffee used, and a degree of strength secured before unknown. The method employed In preparing aad putting up these Essences, secures them against injury from the lapse of time and change of ' climate, affords the greatest possible facility for portability and im mediate use. and so reduces the twice to the consumer, that economy Itself furnishes an ample guarantee for their extensive use. One teaspoonful of the Essence, in a cup of boiling water, will be sufficient for the instantaneous production of a cup of tea or coffee of the finest quality. The following certificate from Dr. Ure is, with satisfaction, sub joined : " I hereby certify, that Staite's Patent Essence of Tea is a pure and. wholesome beverage ;• and that Is is rvtracted by a peculiar process, which, while it excludes in a Brea' ir.;:ature, the bitter and astringent matter always present in the teapot, preserves and refines all the exhilarating and aromatic principles of the Chinese herb. Being put tip In Mr. Rand's Collapsible Tubes of pure tin, it will keep un changed for any length of time. (Signed) "ANDREW URE, M.D., FRS., " Analytical Chemist to the Board of Customs, &c., &c." The Committee have also thought it right to have the samples of the Essences submitted to high and unbiassed authorities in the Tea Trade. The following testimonial from a well-known and eminent judge is the result : " W. T. Bland having tested the samples of the concentrated Es sence of Tea, manufactured under Staite's Patent, pronounces them clean, full and perfect. " By whatever process the Extract is obtained, the aroma is finely preserved, and without the crude or fibrous property which ordinary methods of maceration or evaporation would exhibit ; the distinctive flavours of Pekoe, Souchong, Congou, &c., are completely preserved, so that even critical judges of the article would not be able to tell any number of cups of the diluted Essence apart from others infused after the common method. This result may be regarded as the acme of the invention, and its greatest protection and recommenda tion. " The Coffees, extracted after the same patent, are rich and aro matic in flavour, and brilliant in colour : perfectly pellucid, without the slightest sediment—whilst the distinguishing properties of the Mocha, the Mountain Berry, and other known peculiarities, are so naturally developed as of to be mistaken.

Puget, Bainbridges, and Co., It was Resolved unanimously,—To proceed at once with the construction of that portion of the line which lies between Carlow and Kilkenny ; in accordance with the expressed wish of the Share holders. The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda tion of pauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances, in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of about 250,000. Yet, with the uxception of a very few cells attached to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of the insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam - leg about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the community from their furious conduct, at once , the disgrace, the in jury, and the terror of the country. _ . The Directors also resolved that the forfeited Shares of this Com pany should be disposed of for the sum of 2/. 10s. per share ; but with the desire of meeting the views of the holders of scrip. a preference. will be given to them to become the purchasers of such shares, on the payment of 2/. 10s. per share, on or before the 12th ofJuly next, to the bankers of the Company, Messrs. Puget, Bainbridges, and Co. ; or Messrs. D. La Touche and Co., Dublin. Those parties must present the scrip at the time of making application ; after that day such forfeited shares as shall then remain unappropriated will be disposed of by the Directors, in conformity with the Act of Incorporation, to persons making application in the following form : TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE GREAT LEINSTER AND MUNSTER RAILWAY COMPANY. Gentlemen,—l request you will insert my name for Shares of 1001. each, in the capital stock of the above Company; and I hereby undertake to accept such Shares or any less num.)er that may be allotted to me ; and further undertake to pay the deposit and calls when required, and to conform to the several provisions of the Act of Parliament obtained by the Company.

TO abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients. The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,000/. will be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to fora' a feud for the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary funds will he obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen. The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionarieS of the district, but giving to the Subscribers duo and ample powers of control and recommendation.

Clement, Esq, At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per 'cent. to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 100/. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent.; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON. PORTSMOUTM, SATURDAY.-The day was favourable for her Ma jesty. A light and refreshing breeze from the southwest, suffi. cient to render the atmosphere cool and invigorating. enabled the various yachts and sailing vessels to perform their graceful evolu. tions In tacking and wearing round the large ships of the squadron. Numberless vessels, from the large gracefully-rigged schooner to the small-sized wherry, with a variety of steam-vessels, freighted with elegantly-dressed persons, were cruising about Spithead to witness the very imposing spectacle of her Majesty's visit to the squadron. At halfpast eleven the royal yacht Victoria and Albert was seen with the royal standard flying at her mast-head coming from Cowes—the Platform Battery saluted the flag with 21 guns; she soon joined the Blaek Eagle, when both vessels stopped. The Admiralty barge was manned, and the Earl of Haddlngton, Sir W. H. Gage, and the Admiralty Secretary, had the honour of waiting on her Majesty on board the Victoria and Albert; both steamers theta proceeded towards the squadron. When the royal yacht was about one cable's length from the St. Vincent, 120, the flag-ship of the Commander-in-Chief of the squadron, that ship fired the first gun of the grand general salute —simultaneously with its discharge every ship of the squadron was immediately covered with a profusion of flags, surmounted by a red ensign at the main, a white ensign at the fore, and a blue ensign at the mizentopgallant mastheads, at the same instant the flags so sud denly unfurled, on every yard appeared a line of seamen, all dressed alike in their neat blue jackets and white trousers. When the breeze had dispersed the cloud of smoke occasioned by the dis charge of nearly 200 32-pounder guns, the royal yacht was seen lying stationary near the flag-ship. The yacht's barge was imme. diately manned, and her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert, and attended by Lord Haddington, steered by Captain Lord Fitz clarence, proceeded to the St. Vincent, and were received at the entering-port by Rear-Admiral Parker, C. 8., the Commander in. Chief of the squadron. Capt. Rowley and the officers of the ship, and the Royal Marines under Capt. Collis, formed a guard of honour. o Aft , wereboe After Arodnddm.icrtale upwards Parker byohfi had n alrfoaunndh presentedou thisr her re re officers, id Majesty, ship. p itnhce After ArroyalAlbert, rat p i: a ia r i : g . l Lord Haddington proceeded along the line of ships in the yacht's barge, attended by the Rear-Admiral the Commander-in .Chief, in his barge, to the Trafalgar, 120. Captain F. Martin had the honour of receiving her Majesty and Prince Albert, and of con ducting them round this beautiful specimen of naval architecture. The royal party again proceeded in the barge along the line of ships, and passing the Queen, 110, Captain Sir B. W. Walker, as her Majesty had before seen this ship, the royal barge passed on to the Albion, 90, where the royal party were received by Captain N. Lockyer, C. 8., who had the honour of conducting her Majesty round the ship; and we understand that her Majesty and Prince Albert were pleased to express their high admiration at the very complete state and splendid organisation of all her appointments. This ship is certainly the " crack ship" of the squadron ; she is 3,100 tons burden, is the handsomest two.decker afloat, and having been in commission some time longer than the other ships of the squadron, and better manned, is now, we should say, the " pat tern ship." At half.past one her Majesty and Prince Albert returned on board the royal yacht, now lying nearly in the centre of the ships. The different captains commanding ships here waited on her Ma jerty, and had the honour of being presented. Lord Haddington, Sir W. Fr. Gage, the Right Hon. T. L. Corry, and Captain Dundas now took leave of her Majesty, and returned to the Black Eagle. The royal yacht then proceeded to the eastward, and in passing the Ellenborough, a large outward-bound Indiaman with a number of troops on board, she received from the crew and troops three most vociferous cheers, which was duly acknowledged by the royal yacht, the royal party bowing in return, The royal yacht also passed the large outward.bound American packet-ship the St. James. The royal yacht having proceeded to the eastward, as far as the Vernon, now turned round and passed back between the line of ships. When opposite the St. Vincent, all the squadron again blazed forth another royal salute, after which the royal yacht put on full speed, and returned to Cowes. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. CAMBRIDGE, JUNE 21.—The first sitting of the Magnetic Con. gress took place at the early hour of eight o'clock in the morning, and the result of their deliberations will be made known to the general meeting of the Committee, which will be held on Monday. With the exception of the mathematical and geological lectures yesterday, the attendance at most of the meeting-rooms was but small. On account of the dearth of papers, the first meetings of the mechanical and medical lectures will take place only to-day. The following were the communications at the different sections : MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS.—The papers were chiefly of a technical character, and all unsusceptible of a popular abstract. CHEMICAL SCIENCE.—I. Dr. Daubeny read au interesting report on the chemical principles involved in the rotation of the crops, being the results of numerous experiments made at the Botanic Gardens during the last ten years. Comparative experiments had been made on land subjected to a succession of crops of the same nature, and the other to a succession of crops of different natures, both without manure. 2. Dr. W. Sharp read a paper on the ashes of wheat. The result of upwards of one hundred experiments showed that the weight of the ash proceeded in an inverse ratio to the weight of the wheat per bushel. SECTION C.—GEOLOGY AND PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.—I. Dr. W. Carpenter read the continuation of a very lengthened report on the microscopic structure of shells. 2. Dr. Buckland described the agency of land snails in forming holes and trackways in com pact limestone. His attention had first been called to the subject by a discussion on the perforations, sixty feet high, at Tenby Castle, which were by some taken to be evidence of a r aised beach, but which he considered as the workmanship of land snails. He considered that by means of the acid with which they were pro. vided snails could make perforations into the most solid forms of limestone, but the perforations were unlike those made by any other animals, or those made by the salt of the sea, and the car. bonic acid of the atmosphere. These perforations were never found where the rain and frosts could operate, and always had the aperture downwards. From observations made at Richhorough last year, he had concluded that these perforations were not made to a greater depth than an inch in 1,000 years. STATISTICS. —Mr. O. R. Porter read a paper on the progress and present state of savings' banks in the United Kingdom. The first savings' bank regularly organised was at Ruthwell, and before the Legislature interfered on the subject there were seventy saving's banks in England, four in Wales, and four in Ireland. The deposits last year were :—England, 832,290 depositors, and the amount 25,112,8631.; Wales, 18,690 depositors, and the amount 559,7961.; Ireland, 91,243 depositors, and amount 2,749,0171.; and Scotland. 69,824 depositors, and amount 10,431,183/. 3. A paper was read) from Mr. R. Valpy, on the trade and navi gation of Norway. In the evening the Astronomer Royal delivered a discourse on terrestrial magnetism in the Senate House, which was very well filled. It consisted chiefly of an elementary notice of the facts of the science, and a popular description of the effbrts now making to obtain more information upon this obscure science. In the afternoon there was a grand horticultural show, held in the gardens of Downing College, which was very well attended, the prizes distributed being numerous. In the course of yesterd q 120 fresh members enrolled their names, being a total of 776 attending the present meeting. Mr. Mountain, formerly leader of the band at Covent-garden Theatre for many years, died on the 14th inst., aged seventy-eight. He survived Mrs. Mountain, once a very popular singer, four years, and belonged to the Philharmonic band until a few seasons back. DEATH FROM THE USE OF LEADEN PIPES —MAL VERN WELLS, JUNE I3.—An inquest was holden this after noon (Friday) on the body of an agricultural la bourer, named Richard Wilkins, lately in the employment of a highly respectable farmer, residing at the Woo d, from having Wells, who came by his death, it appears, roi c 7 f having drunk a quantity of cider (the common drink agricultural ead la e bo o u p re ip rs es in fro th m is t d h i e stri e c i t d ) e , r- w h h o l o c s h e ha to d b th ee e n peloance vewhere it was drawn for use.hoets, had, afterdeceased,w partaking hs t e ak ve i r o a g l others of Mr. Benbow , s farm .Tsetva of this cider, been seized with illness resembling the painters' colic, which it is well known arises from the constant use .of lead in their business. Mr. West, surgeon, of Malvern, at first attended him, but Mr. Hamilton, of Malvern Wells, attended the deceased at the time of his death, which hap pened on Saturday last. He was buried on Wednesday, but the public not being satisfied that an official inquiry into the immediate cause of death had taken place, the body was disinterred to-day, and examined by Mr. West, in the pre sence of Mr. Hamilton. Mr. West explained on the inquest the nature of this examination and its result. There was congestion of the vessels of the head and stomach, and the deceased died of apoplexy, brought on, he believed, by the act of deceased drinking the impregnated cider. Mr. Benbow, the deceased's employer, explained to the Coroner the circumstances under which the pipes had been laid down. He had employed Mr. Cecil M'Cann to lay down pipes of the proper white metal—tin, or composition—but he (Mr. APCann) had substituted lead, saying it was supe rior for the purpose. On the discovery of the mischievous effects produced, the use of the pipes had been discon tinued. The jury acquitted all parties of blame except Mr. M'Cann, and returned a verdict that the deceased died of apoplexy, induced by congestion of the brain. The coroner intimated that after an investigation like this every person using such pipes would be subjeCt to a verdict of manslaughter or murder, in the event of a similar catastrophe. He also ex pressed his surprise at Mr. Hamilton giving a certificate for W* iiisuch a case, without previous official inquiry. PUBLICATIONS. On the 30th of June, price 4s.

The " battle of the gauges," which was fought in the House of Commons on Friday night, has ended in the temporary triumph of the broad, and the discomfiture of the narrow ; but the real com parative merits of the two seem to be still as undecided as the lawyers and the engineers, who reap all the profit of the contest, could possibly desire. It is certainly very desirable that one uni form gauge should be established upon all the lines of railway throughout the kingdom, for, however skilfully the operation may be performed, there must be both delay and risk in shifting pas. sengsrs and goods, by " lifting the carriage off the waggon, or lifting the carriage, waggon and all, on to a truck suited to another gauge," —a feat which, we are told by Sir Thomas Wilde, there can easily be an apparatus for accomplishing. It nevertheless does appear very necessary that before the " battle of the gauge*" cart be finally decided by the complete victory of either, some under standing should be come to as to which is really to be preferred ; but this appears to be a point that will not be very easily settled. As far as can be ascertained from the evidence of the engineers— no two of whom agreed in their opinion when examined on the subject before the Parliamentary Committee—the qnestion of the gauges is not yet ripe fur solution ; and we are told by Mr. Shaw, the chairman, that though he examined every engineer on that particular point, " not one would commit himself to a posi tive opinion as to what would now be the best width of 'gauge." It is evident, therefore, that it would be highly premature to begin tearing up existing rails for the sake of uniformity, when the plan adopted might turn out ultimately to be uniformly wrong; for though the paving people do occas'onally amuse themselves by alternating between wood and stone in the great metropolitan thoroughfares —now indulging their fancy for one and now giving a turn to the other, so that the city is kept constantly in a state of sem i-hlockade—it would tie much too expensive and inconvenient a game to be carried on with reference to railroads. The great ditti. culty appears to be, hoe we are to get at the superiority of one gauge over the other, for the engineers will give no opinion at all ; and when we rush to General Pasley for relief from our perplexity we are left in greater bewilderment than before, for he recommends "splitting the difference" between the broad and Hart ow gauges, a suggestion which, if it is to have any weight at all, must be unfavourable to both of them. He proposes to let the gauges meet each other half way : the broad gauge drawing itself its a little, and the narrow gauge making a slight advance towards its competitor ; so that, by the broad giving a few inches and the narrow taking something less than an ell, they might both come to the same point without sacrificing the principle of either. How this important question of the gauges is to be treated we hardly know, hut we arc told that experience is the only test by which it can be settled. Experience, we are afraid, when used with refe. rence to the safety of any principle applied to railroad travelling, is only another word for the returns cf killed and wounded. We had rather that the engineers could have made up their minds about the respective merits of the broad and narrow gauges without waiting for a table of the victims of each, and then striking a balance in favour of the one that has been attended with the smaller number of accidents. We must, however, do both the gauges the justice to say, that we think the matter would be des. tined to remain very long undecided if the sort of tables to which we have alluded were waited for, inasmuch as either may be secure with care and proper management; to the absence of which, in some degre", nearly every railway casualty that occurs may now be attributed. There is either a screw loose in some of the rails, or a waggon with four wheels has been placed among others will six, or the luggage van has been too light, or something has oec rred quite irrespective of the width of the ganges, the uniformity, I which is perhaps not so indispensable to safety as it is desirable fot the sake of convenience. We have little remark to make on he debate of Friday night, which was hardly conducted with that calm. news which bespeaks the perfect disinterestedness of those who are about to rote; and by the confusion which interrupted every one who rose to speak, it was evident that most of the Hon. Members pro sent had come prepared to divide, rather than to hear or delioe rate. The interests involved were those of the Great 'Western and London Birmingham lines; and it was clear that both of these powerful Companies had been active in exerting their influence, It is somewhat awkward that the Select Committee and the Com. mince of the Board of Trade should be directly at issue as to the merits of the two competing schemes, even after Mr. Shaw had very ingeniously suggested a loophole to the !bard of Trade, by suggesting that if it had had before it the whole of the facts it would have decided in the same way as the Select Committee had done, after sitting twenty-fire days and examining more than a lnindred witnesses. Sir George Clerk would not compromise the opinion of the Board of Trade, and insisted that it had heard all that was worth hearing ; which it possibly might have done with. out listening to the hundred witness power of testimony that the Committee had patiently endured, in addition to "counsel at great length "—a horror which the phrase, suggestive as it is of suffering, gives one but a faint conception of. All this, too, for the purvose of deciding a question which, according to Mr. Shaw, the Chairman of the Committee, a glance at the map is sufficient to settle. But " counsel at great length" would soon succeed in destroying, by their own longitude and latitude, any plain and de. finite notions derived from a'glance at the map, and we are not sur prised at the difficulty experienced by the Committee in getting their heads clear again. We cannot quit this subject without say ing a few words about the very characteristic speech of the Pre mier. He, indeed, ahnost surpassed himself in tact, for he con trived at the same time to present a petition one way, vote another, and make a speech quite independent of either. The professor who plays the drum, the Pandean pipes, and the triangle all at once, is an indifferent performer compared with Sir Robert Peel, who can manage three different tunes at once without any very apparent discord.— Times. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—Permit me, through the medium of your valuable paper, to suggest to the friends of railways, whose object is reciprocal in , terest— a profitable investment with public accommodation—that the most practicable line (now that the broad gauge is so wisely prefer-ed), would be to amalgamate the Direct London and York line with Leeds, instead of York, and then go on through Har rogate, Ripon, Bedsle, Richmond, Bishop Auckland, west of Dur ham, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. This would be a superior, quicker, and richer line. In the first place, this would avoid that slaughter station, Brockley Winos, and that most dangerous bridge, the Victoria Bridge, which never was built to bear such a burden as goes over it ; and, in the next place, would take in all the mines in the north of Yorkshire and west of the county of Durham, join ing the important towns of Barnard Castle and Richmond, and re. ceiving an immense supply of cattle from Scotland and Cumber. land—the Inc. now suggested from Newcastle to Lancashire being a complete feeder to the West Riding of Yorkshire ; also one from Carlisle will be equally valuable.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, June 21, 1845. GULIELMUS. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—It having been clearly ascertained that the accidents to the express trains on Tues day and Friday last were caused by the luggage vans in each case getting off the line of rails, in consequence of the lightly.con , structed character of those vehicles, the Directors have since come to a resolution to prevent, for the future, a repetition of such accidents arising from a similar cause, by ordering that no four wheeled vans, for the conveyance of the luggage of the passengers by the fast trains, shall be attached to any of the carriages. This resolution was first carried into effect on Saturday morning, the slay after the second accident occurred, upon which occasion one of the heavy second class passenger six wheeled carriages (weigh ing seven tons) was attached to the train, for the transmission of luggage, instead of one of the four-wheeled vans, weighing only three tons and a half. This plan will be strictly adhered to in the case of the express trains. The expenses incurred by Sir Richard Vyvyan, M.P., Dr. Strong and family, end the other parties who have been detained at the Royal Hotel, at Slough, in consequence of the injuries they received by the upsetting of the train on Tues. day last, will be defrayed by the Railway Company instructions to that effect having been conveyed to M. Dotesio, the proprietor. DESTRUCTION OF SEVENTEEN HOUSES BY FIRE.-- On Thursday evening last, about six o'clock, the inhabitants of Southmolton, Devonshire, were alarmed by the cry of " Fire !" which proceeded from the dwelling-house of Mr. Thomas Tout, builder, or a house contiguous to it, situate in East.street, and burnt with great fury for several hours. Notwithstanding three engines were quickly on the spot, no fewer than 17 dwelling. houses were entirely destroyed, and others partially so, and snany others unroofed. THE MARYLEDONE VESTRY.—On Saturday, at a meeting of the Marylebone vestry, a communication was brought up from the committee connected with the Marylebone and Pad. dington Hospital, in reference to laying the foundation stone of that institution, on Saturday next, by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. One resolution of the committee was, that a drawing of the intended hospital should be sent to each member of the Mary lebone vestry—that three or five persons should be appointed from the vestry to co.operate with the select committee from the hos.. pital, and from the Paddington vestry, in making suitable arrange. ments for the reception of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and that transferable tickets should be presented to each member of the vestry for viewing the ceremony. The vestry expressed themselves highly satisfied with the proposals. TH E MESSRS. SMITIt's CASE.—The Messrs. Smith, subsequent to the return of the verdict, memorialised the Lords of the Treasury, from whom no answer was for some time received, Very recently, however, there came the proposal of discharging the verdict, on payment of costs and the destroying of the rectify ing house. To this course, as might have been expected, consent was refused by the Messrs. Smith, who have again petitioned the Treasury, and now await their answer.—Advertiser.

DIRE AT CLAPHAM.— On Sunday morning, shortly after daybreak, a destructive fire took place on the premises of Mr. White, a baker, Larkhall-lane, Clapham. Though so great a distance from town, the Southwark-bridge -road and Watcrloo-road brigade engines, as well as that belonging to the West of England, had soon reached the spot, but, notwithstanding this powerful aid, and also the quick arrival of the Clapham pariah engine, all Mr. White's building, furniture, and stock were re. duced to ashes. All the family were, at the outbreak of the fire. at Gtavesend. The property destroyed is believed to be insured Its the Sun-office. EarlA o ß f U A N r D ut E id l e .

FATAL PUBLIC-HOUSE FIGRT.—OR Saturday night last information was given at the Tower.street, or Ldivision Police. station, to Mr. Inspector Ferguson, that a man named Boxhall had died that evening from bruises received in a fight. It appears that the deceased and another man had met one morning last week at the Rose and Crown publie-house, Westminster-road, when, not. withstanding the earnest remonstrances of the landlady and land lord, they had a desperate fight. The deceased became insensible, and was removed to his lodging, where medical aid was in attend ance on him, but he died on Saturday last. Inspector Ferguson sent a letter to the Center, Kr. W. Carter, for u iikoest on the body. , "
